I hear the Lord say that the fruit of this ministry [GVFC ] is coming out of the solid foundation of the word and prayer and intercession, teaching, decreeing and declarations. I hear the Lord say, this land is blessed. The foundation is blessed. The Lord says there's been no compromise in the teaching here, but it's solid, and that's what's going to stand, in Jesus name.

 

Sonja

Father. Thank you for your frequency. I thank you for your heartbeat that's in this land. When there's a heartbeat there's life. So Father, I thank you for the life that's in this land, in this ministry. Thank you, God, I'm reminded of that song. I'm not going to sing it, but I'll just say what I'm hearing. You're a Good, Good Father. That's who you are, that's who you are.

 

Sonja

Father, I thank you that Your grace never runs out, your mercy never runs out, Your love never runs out. Oh, Father.

 

Judah Team Sonja

And yes, in each and every way, you take us throughout this day, you establish our steps, Lord and we walk them as you lead the way.

 

Sonja

Father, I just thank you for Layla and I, thank you Father for the anointing on her. I thank You Father for who she is and what you're doing in her life. What a beautiful soul, what a beautiful spirit, what a beautiful young lady. And I, thank you, Father, for the prophetic anointing on her life. I thank you for the dreams and visions, the spiritual songs and the rhythm that flows from her. I thank you for the anointing.

 

Sonja

So Father, right now in the name of Jesus, I, thank you for the great cloud of witnesses. They're here. Seen them twice, and so Father. I, thank you. We stand at attention with heaven.

Layah playing the native drum

 

 

Sonja

When Layah was playing the drum, when she first started out, and she was hitting it where it would, when she would hit it, it would kind of do, like a little something like that. And I knew, I don't know about y'all, but this is what I saw, that that was war. And then her rhythm changed, the sound changed. And it was, it was really intense, what I was seeing in the spirit realm, and what the enemy has tried to kick up with the storms, not just in the natural, but in the spirit. But then the rhythm, the sound changed. The Beat changed, and we went through, that's what I got. Konnie of got that too. So we thank Jesus amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

 

Konnie

Talking about the breakthrough and the war. It's like what the Lord was showing me was from right here, from Philadelphia, Mississippi, right here, us in the Spirit, we sent a breakthrough out there. It's powerful. It was powerful.

 

Sonja

Ben, I want you to sing in Choctaw a song, then I want you to pray in Choctaw. This is very significant, because I was reading last night about the natives and how and about the land being stolen. And this is powerful. God is going to do something today in the spirit that's going to manifest in the natural regarding this nationwide. And I speak that prophetically in Jesus name. So it's very significant that Ben is here and he's going to sing and then pray in Choctaw.

 

Konnie

So just right here, right now in Philadelphia, you are a representative of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians. And what you're about to release into the atmosphere is a first fruit. They honor the Native Americans at Glory of Zion. That's what they've been doing for the past two or three days. And this is a first fruit. What you're about to release here in 2025.

Sonja

I heard the Lord tell, say, tell Ben to bless the land, because I didn't know what he said, but it was beautiful, wasn't it? And he said, I did in Choctaw, so praise the Lord

 

Sonja

Father. I thank you for today. I thank you for your word. I thank You, Father, that there is nothing that's impossible with you as we put our faith in you, and we call on the spirit of wisdom to help us. You know, Lord, wisdom helps us to understand what's going on, and it also helps us to know what to do. And I hear the Lord say that sometimes you don't need to do anything. There's nothing for you to do but stand, to rise up and stand. I hear the Lord saying, quit trying to fix everybody and everything. Quit trying to fix things at your work. I hear that very strongly. The Lord says, you go and you be a good steward, and you submit to those in authority over you, and I will bless you. The Lord says, quit complaining and murmuring, because it will only it will only delay your advancement of where he wants to place you. So, Father. I thank you for that word, and I thank You Father for every person here today. And I thank You Lord that we receive your word today, in our hearts, in our souls, in our bodies, in Jesus name Amen. Okay, so who wants to come first and share?

 

Rakha

That was so very fitting and kind of like the message that I have kind of goes with what you were talking about. So the beginning of 2024 the Lord spoke to me about changing my mindset. I needed to, like you said, become more trusting in Him. I needed to listen to him more. Do what he says. Don't think about it. Just do it. Do it in faith. Blind faith. Blind faith. So beginning of 2024, I was having difficulty with one of my vehicles, and the Lord woke me up. It was a Saturday morning, and he said, Rakha to this place, going ahead and apply for vehicle financing with this place, go to this place and your vehicle is going to be there. And I was like, Okay, Lord, okay. Well, it can't be, I can't finance it for no more than this. My payment has to be around this much. I don't  want my interest to be over this, you know, and for this many years, okay, could do it. I do it. Then 30 minutes, I'm out of the dealership with the vehicle. But when in changing your mindset, and I told also told the Lord, I said, Okay, if this happens, I'm gonna put on my tag. I'm gonna get a specialized tag, TYL, THANK YOU LORD. So in changing my mindset, in anything and everything that I do, I have to thank the Lord. You have to tell him thank you. It doesn't matter if I go through the drive through and get a cup of water, and it's free. Thank you, Lord, that's $1 I saved. Is it much? No, it's not much, but it's a blessing. Everything is a blessing. When you wake up in the morning, are you thanking the Lord? Are you telling him, thank you, Lord for opening my eyes so that I could see another day that I'm here? You have to change your mindset. You have to change. You have to give him all the honor and glory in everything that you do, no matter how big, no how, matter how small it is. You have to do that because there is nothing that you do, there is nothing that the flesh does that deserves any kind of glory. We've all gone through different things, and I was noticing on the Guardian that a lot of people were their families were being attacked. So prior to the service starting, we were in here speaking in tongues, praying. I did a simple prayer to break off the attacks that we were having on our families. It was a simple prayer, nothing spectacular. You know, nothing just you know. Call on you Lord, break it off. And lo and behold, my daughter and my grandson show up. That's nothing short of Lord. That's nothing short of God. So thank you, Lord, but here again, change your mindset. And I guess the most important thing that I got out of 2024 and it's taking with me into 2025 is stop chasing the blessing. Start chasing the one that blesses,

 

Ben Stephens

Well, what I have to share is something that's been in my heart for almost 30 years. I have carried the pain of my parents leaving when I was 12 years old. It had shaped who I was. Then I say who I was, but this past year, God gave me something credible in my life, he gave me the strength to truly forgive them, something I've been holding on for like three decades. This Thanksgiving and Christmas was were the best I've had, filled with peace and joy that I haven't felt in years, like in Romans, 8:37, it says No, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. And this verse reminds me that it wasn't through my own strength or anything, but through God's love that I could overcome this pain and find true freedom and forgiveness. So I say, if you're carrying something today, I encourage you to trust God. He's faithful to heal and restore and even make the hardest situations of a testimony of His grace and love.

 

Ashton

So mine would be overcome in depression. So my depression, I didn't know I had depression, you know, growing up. But a lot of families of the natives, you know, they grow up alone. You may have a mom and dad at home, but you don't, you don't confide in them, you know, you hold things in. So that was me. I held a lot of things in, and the Depression started way young. And when I started to come to church, and I realized that's what it was, you know, the dark cloud over me. Coming to church, even though I was not this saint or this person who didn't sin, having this relationship with God pushed me to not sin. So a lot of things, having this relationship and reading God's word, a lot of the sins started to come out of me, and it's to the point where I don't want to do these things. And when you don't do these things, you're allowing the blessings of God to come into your life. So being on the dark side for the longest, just recently, probably the end of last year, when I realized, you know, it's more to be on the light side. So everything that was happening in my life, I blamed it on Satan, which a lot of it was, but it was like, I was looking for a demon in my life that wasn't even there. And then it was like, so if it's not there, what do I do? Like, how come I'm not advancing or how come I'm not seeing the blessings? But the thing is, is you have to invite God into your life. You got to ask him and even just declare it, you know, God, you said you're you, this is what your word said. So, you know, I receive it, you know, put it in my life, and I and a big thing I always say is, you know, your desires, like a desire to have this specific car, and that car came into my life over a few years ago. And you know that that's a big thing in my life that I like to hold near and dear to my heart, because that was all God. Because, in a way, I could have gotten this type of vehicle on my own. But in saying all of that is just, you know, when you think it's the devil, it's probably not even a devil. It's just you taking the initiative to invite God into your life and invite God to do these things for you, because he's not going to do it, because he gives us, He gives us free will. So if we're not asking for it, and we're just, you know, hoping for it, it's, what did they say? It's faith without works or that. Yeah, so that's just a big thing in my life now, and since then, up until today, I haven't, I haven't feel like I've been in this depressive mode, and it feels good.

 

Sonja

Thank you. Ashley there. She said something that really pierced my heart. She said, If you don't invite Him into your life, when she said that, and what she said, What I'm just going to tag on to you, Ashley, if you don't mind, invite God into your situation, whatever you're going through, it may be you deciding to take a promotion at your job. It doesn't have to be anything bad, okay, but invite Him into that and see what he does. You know, you can have a situation going on personally or with your family or your job or friends or whatever, and usually like you're going nuts because you don't know what to do. You're panicking. You're in panic mode. You're in anxiety mode. You're in fear mode. Well, try asking Holy Spirit to come in that situation and see what happens. Amen.

Regina

You know, God's been dealing with me about that same thing since Wednesday. You know, we think it's Ruth Ann taught last week about when David asked the Lord, you know, do I pursue? And a lot of times we just personally, I tried to take things into my own hands and take care of it, instead of inquiring of the Lord, see what I'm supposed to do. I lost my dad October 24 of 1998 and for years after that, from the end of October through the spring, I would go through a cycle of depression. I would just go dark. I would isolate myself from friends and family, and it would take me about six months to work out of it, and then when it came again, it would get the same thing. It took me a couple of decades Ben to realize that cycle and what it was doing to me. And he said, they're no perfect parents. I didn't realize the impact that my depression was having on raising my kids. I didn't see them going through some of the same things, because I was caught up in my own struggles. And so, you know, there's some things I had to repent of, but unforgiveness is important. I've had to ask my children to forgive me for my failures as a parent. I've had to forgive my parents for not being perfect. Imagine, you know, but unforgiveness is so important. I have a friend that she and her mother lost her sister and brother, and they both struggled with years blaming or feeling like the other one blamed them, that sort of thing, but just to forgive someone for something is a huge weight lifted off of you. We're walking around carrying these things that we really have no business carry, depression, all of those things, unforgiveness, all those things can lead, not only to spiritual problem, they can lead to physical problems, and we're carrying all these things, and the Lord just wants us to be free. But you know, several, several times David said, I inquired of the Lord, and that's all we have to do. You know, we quote the Proverbs, Trust the Lord with all your Heart lean not to your own understanding, but we don't really go to the next verse where it says, In all your ways, acknowledge him. Acknowledging God is simply inviting him into your situation. And I can think back, you know, 20 something years ago, if I had just invited God into that situation, totally different outcome. I know it would have been, but what I'm so thankful for is that God has a rerouting system, that no matter how many times we mess up, his grace sufficient, he keeps us. I mean, if I miss it right here, he's going to bring me right back around and give me another chance to make things right. And I thank God for His grace. I thank him for being the God that delivers me, even when myself is the problem, I'm the problem. I chose to listen to the enemy's lives, to isolate myself, pull myself away from my family, and go deeper and deeper into things that would have easily been nothing if I had just followed God, listened to the Holy Spirit. But you know, you get caught up in your emotions, and you do what your flesh tells you to do for so many years. And I realized, you know what, this keeps happening. I think I'm smart, but sometimes I'm dumb. I don't look at things. You know, this keeps happening. Why am I missing it? Why is it happening? And so it is important a lot of times for us to examine our lives, examine our decisions. Why did I do this? What's making me keep making this bad decision, this wrong decision, and you know, I'm just really thankful for God's grace.

 

Sonja

Father, I thank you for your overpowering of your love and your grace. I thank You, Father, for your power that's in each and every one of us and Lord, I just thank You that: I hear the Lord say, don't take ownership of anything demonic, okay, don't take ownership, like my anxiety, my depression. It's not yours. It's the enemy's okay. So Father, I just ask that you bless everyone here today, Father, I just speak blessings on them. I thank You, Father, for Your word. I thank you that it does not return void, Father, but it accomplishes that which it sent forth to do. And Father, we've heard your word today, so I praise you, and I honor you. Father, I thank you for this opportunity to minister before you and the great cloud of witnesses and my people, my body, the body of Christ, my family here. Father, I ask that you continue to bless us the rest of the day with grace, with love. And I speak blessings on everybody here. I speak safety over everybody here in the name of Jesus. And everybody said, Amen. God bless you. Thank y'all for coming you.

Stepping in, stepping into His glory, stepping in, stepping into Jesus. It's all about you, Jesus. It's all about you, Jesus. It's all about you, Jesus. Oh, feelings beat, feel the beat, feel the heat, feel the heat, feel the beat, feel the beat of the Father's heart. Feel the heat. Feel the heat of the Holy Spirit. Feel the heat. Feel the heat of the Holy Spirit. Jesus. Get in the dance, get in the dance, get in the dance of the glory, get in the dance, get in the dance, get in the dance of his glory, oh. Sheila: Don't stop at the beat, it's in the beat. Yay! Rakha: So when the service started, I heard Sonja prophesying, and what I heard was when saying prayer or giving the Lord praise instead of just speaking it out. The Lord wants us to get into His rhythm. The Lord wants us to start singing the praises, singing the prayers, and if you're sitting there thinking, well, I don't know how to do that, I don't have any kind of rhythm or any kind of way of knowing how to do that. Listen to your heartbeat. Your heartbeat is the same heartbeat that Jesus had, is the same heartbeat that the Lord has given to us, so we all have that heartbeat of the Lord. So listen to your heartbeat, and however your heart is beating is the rhythm of what, how you're supposed to sing, how you're supposed to pray, how you're supposed to praise him. Rakha: Another thing that I heard was Armenia. There is a planned attack on Armenia, and I don't know if it's a state, I don't know if Armenia is a country, I don't know if it's whatever it is, but intercessors need to pray for the people of Armenia JT Sheila: Here we go, here we go, here we go, moving in, here we go, moving in, here we go, here we go, moving in, pressing in, pressing deeper, going deep. We're going higher, we've never been. How deep do you want to go in him? How deep do we want to go in Him? Is there anything deeper than pressing for the heartbeat of God? Going deeper, going deeper. Ruth Ann: So, Father, we just come with you, we just go with you, wherever you need to give you, take us there, take us deeper, take us much, much, much deeper in your glory. Let's come to you, Lord, that's what he wants us to do. He wants us in his rhythm, his rhythm. Let yourself come to his rhythm. Ruth Ann: So, Armenia, let me answer that. The Armenian people are talked about in the Bible, but it was the first nation to officially adopt Christianity as its state or its national religion in 301 AD, but actually as a trade route between Iran and Russia. It's a trade route, a land trade route, not a water trade route. Is a land trade route between Iran and Russia goes to Romania. That's significant. Sonja: So, Father, right now, in the name of Yeshua Hamashia, in the name of Jesus, Father, I lift up the Christians and the innocent in Armenia, don't say it correctly. Armenia. In the name of Jesus, Father, I just thank you for your divine protection over them. I thank you for the shield of faith that surround them, and I thank you, Father, for the fire of Holy Spirit that surrounds them, and the blood of Jesus that covers them, in the name of Jesus. JT Sheila: We release your heartbeat, release your heartbeat, release your heartbeat. Rakha: The Lord's really highlighting heartbeats today, and so what I saw was I saw a gentleman sitting down, and I saw the doctor taking his stethoscope and listening to his heart. So if you're 6 ft 4 in and you are part of this ministry, or if you're listening or watching this program, you need to go have your heart checked. Six four is the number. If you are six foot tall, six foot four inches tall, go have your heart check. Sheila : I can almost hear the love dub in the, in the drum beat. Ruth Ann: Every time we get to that that beat right there, where Rakha is right there and where you just went, I've been seeing angels in a rhythm, in a rhythm of that beat. I keep going to this word from Chuck Pierce over Mississippi, it is from August the 26th 2010 It was at the Mississippi Burning Conference, in 2010. This is a very profound word and it caused much over the state of Mississippi. Ruth Ann: He says: It's about a two page prophecy, but I'm going to a part of it. It says first state Chuck drew after the vision he had in May 2028 was Mississippi, because it was so unique. Now, if you don't know what I'm talking :about, God took Chuck to all 50 states in a vision, and he showed Chuck all 50 states in a vision, and Mississippi was the first one he drew out after the vision of the 50 states, and he says the spirit of God is taking us to the next level. We're divine connectors between heaven and earth for our land. A gold fiery river ran through each state. The gold fiery river is the tribute reserve. Every state has one, and they have to be activated by May 2011. Okay, that was 2011. He saw fiery hubs that looked like castles, and every state had a fiery hub, and throughout Mississippi. Y'all will be surprised where the fiery hub is. A state that was in covenant also had to be a state that had staked the land, complete prayed completely around their land, and yet apostles and prophets that are aligned watching for the spirit of God to come. Mississippi looked like a hub of glory, but it also looked like a spider's web. It had a tremendous connection to what God wanted to do. It had a place where visitation could come. It was almost like Ezekiel saw when he saw the wheel turning, Mississippi was centered to determine how things turned in the future. It also had eight smaller networks working out of the center place. It was coming as if out of Jackson. There was going to be a moving God that produced a river that would start the wheel turning in the state, except it also looked like a spider's web. The spider's web is the strongest substance, is stronger than steel. It looks strange. It doesn't look just like a wheel that can turn, it looks like a web, a network that should also capture the future of creation. Ruth Ann: So, what I keep seeing is we're doing this beat, and we're in a heartbeat rhythm. It is a heartbeat rhythm. What I see, and I didn't understand this until I looked it up, and what I'm seeing is Ezekiel 1:22 spread out above the heads of the living creatures was something that looked like a vault sparkling like crystal and awesome, so in Ezekiel's vision of God's throne he sees the four living creatures with the magnificent expanse or vault above them, and it looks like crystal, and he keeps calling this vault a firmament, but what I see as the beat is going on, this crystal in this firmament is raining down and it is hitting this spider web, and I looked up how large pieces of crystal, how much they can weigh, and they can weigh anywhere from 20 pounds to 1000s of pounds, and I see it hitting the spider webs over Mississippi, and it's weighing it down and breaking it, and it's weighing it down and breaking it. So Mississippi is no longer captured in a web, it's weighing it down and breaking it. So, Father, we come into your rhythm, into your beat, that everywhere we have been captured in a web, we can come out of that web, that web that is holding us and holding our state, and even it says Mississippi can hold a nation with this web is breaking as we come into a beat with you, into a rhythm with you, Father God. We come above and we break out of the strands of web that is holding us, and we come above it, and we come to a glory, Father God. So, Father God, let your fiery hug come up, let your fire come here, Father God. As Philadelphia breaks out of this web, as Neshoba County comes out of this web, Father God, because this place, there was eight places known for the hubs of Mississippi, and this is one of them. Ruth Ann: So, Father God, today we say this place, our place, this place, Global Vision, you are no longer overtaken with the web of the spider, but you come above it into God's glory. We say, Glory, come, come, let the crystal expanse fall here to the point, Father God, that it breaks the web and it brings your glory. It brings your glory here, Father God. So let the fire, let your fire fall, and let your glory come, and let your fire fall, and let your glory come. Rakha: So the whole purpose of the spider web is to capture, capture whatever the spider is going to eat, but also in with the Native Americans, not only do they have, you know, we have spiders are everywhere, of course, but for Native Americans they have a dream catcher. If you look at the inside of that dream catcher, it does resemble a spider web, but what we have learned is the meaning, or the intent for the dream weaver is to capture dreams, capture bad dreams. However, what I'm seeing, or what the vision that I've seen, is that Dreamcatcher is a web for all dreams, and our dreams sometimes are messages from the Lord, and we definitely don't want those captured by any means. Our message from the Lord has to be released. So, Heavenly Father, this dream catcher, this web that has been laid upon the Native American community, my brothers and sisters from the north, south, and east, and west. Heavenly Father, we just break that off. We come out from under that dream, that dream catcher. We no longer allow that dream catcher to capture our dreams, the dreams that you have downloaded into us. Heavenly Father, we are missing. We have missed a lot of what we should, could, and be become because of this dream catcher that has been waited over us. Heavenly Father, I just see it over, over the people, and we just break it off. We break it off. We say, dream catcher, you are no longer going to catch our dreams. The crystals are going to I see them coming down, I see the dream catcher laying flat, but I see those crystals coming down, and the sharp pointiness is breaking those threads. So, Heavenly Father, we just thank you for this in Jesus' name. Ruth Ann: Father God, with the people of this land, miss your warnings, because the dream didn't come through, Father God, send the dreams back, send the dreams back to get everyone here, get the government, get the people on the right track. Father, get the finances on the right track, get the people back in the right track. Release your dreams back, Father. JT Sheila: We release your heartbeat, we release the frequency, the disruptor of the web of the enemy. We release your heartbeat, we release your frequency, Lord. It's a disruptor of the web of the enemy. We release your heartbeat, we release your frequency. We release your heartbeat, we release your frequency, Lord, you're the disruptor of the web of the enemy. The strands are breaking, they're dissolving. We release your frequency. No more capture, no more capturing by the enemy. Once we release your sound, we call on your wind to carry it everywhere it needs to be. As we release your sound and your frequency, we call your wind to carry it everywhere it needs to be. The disrupter of the web of the enemy, you are the disrupter of the web of the enemy. Oh, I see the lines of the web, they're popping, they're popping, they're breaking, floating in the air. No more strength, Lord as the web is being taken down, we call for your glory. Just line up in its place, Lord, that space is being emptied. Now we're calling all your presence, your glory, your heartbeat in that place. Sonja : In the name of Jesus, anywhere a politician, a government official has been caught in the web of the internet through false accusations, lies, manipulation, control, allegations. In the name of Jesus, I command them to be released where they've been captured on the web. I command them to be released now in Jesus' name, and I decree and declare the only thing that can be caught in the web, is the enemy in Jesus' name Sonja: And, Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, where the Black Widow has been released on the web to pour out poison and lies, accusations, entrapments. May that poison return back to the Black Widow and destroy this evil, evil spider. Where those have been called in the web of death and destruction, death of reputation, death of finances in the web. I command them to be released now in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus, where this web has been over the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indian Nation, and had captured truth, prosperity, health, progress in the name of Jesus. I command it to be released now into the hands of God, and I decree and declare that they will fulfill their destiny and their purpose in Jesus' name. In the name of Jesus, where minds have been caught on the web of the internet programming, I command that to be released now, in Jesus' name. It comes up, out, and off of minds in Jesus name. Where not reality, but the reality of the enemy has been caught on the web, programmed into the minds of children, young adults, older adults, mankind, I command them to be released now in Jesus' name. And, Father, right now, in the name of Jesus, I know that technology has increased, and AI is doing its thing, but Father, you said I AM . It's not AI. We don't get information from AI, we get information truth from I AM, and that is you , Lord, in Jesus' name. Judah Team sang Native Warrior Sonja: Father, I thank you right now for the blood of Jesus. Father, I thank you for the heartbeat of our Father. Father, just as the body has many vessels and many arteries and very all different pathways, Father, within the human body, the heart pumps the blood, and it pumps it out. I thank you, Father, that your heartbeat is pumping today through the ecclesia, and through each and every one of us, clear in the pathways with pure oxygen, your pure breath flowing through our veins and our arteries. Father, we worship you. We honor you, Lord. Father, we just thank you for your glory. We thank you for your presence. We thank you for the transitions, there's been so many shifts today in various levels, and so, Father, we thank you for those shifts. We thank you for revelation, for discernment. We thank you for your fire, and we thank you, Father God, for the teaching that's going to come, and we give you all the honor and all the glory in Jesus' name. Amen.  Ruth Ann: So when you started prophesying Sonja, first thing, he told me he says the glory is going to rain day down like a crystal river. I didn't understand that. How can glory come like a crystal river? Because I'm thinking crystal, you know, can be heavy. I couldn't place it in a river, but it's interesting how he was already. Now, sometimes we misinterpret the glory. Okay, because glory is when God moves. It's not necessarily that you get this ooey gooey feeling all the time. Is when he moves, it's when he gives words, it's when he takes you to a new level, a new thought pattern, a new place. Glory is anything He promised you. So, if He promised you to overcome something, that's glory. If He promised you to have victory somewhere, that's glory. Okay, if you're a business person and you do something new and you make money at it, or wealth or new wealth comes in, that's glory. Does anybody get what I'm saying? See, we try to make glory just a feeling, and it's not just a feeling, it's everything he does that's pretty cool, right? And when he starts saying, I'm going to rain down, then I start saying, okay, God, where are you coming, and how are you coming? It could be just a revelation that's released in a word to you that you never dreamed about, that's glory, that puts you in a path that you never thought you would be on, that's glory. Is everybody get what I'm saying? So receive his glory, because he wanted to release it today, but he wants to release it in a heavy way, a heavy way. Okay, and so accept what he's releasing. Ruth Ann: Now we're talking about decisions, and there was like but let me talk about what we're going to talk about. There was some decisions made yesterday, and I'm gonna show you the points the decisions were made at. Okay, so the Belmont ran yesterday, it was 158 Belmont. There was only nine entries in this race, so we've gone from 22 horses in the Kentucky Derby now to finish out the Triple Crown. We're at nine horses remaining. So Golden Tempo, who ran the Kentucky Derby, came from the ninth position. Okay, basically, and he went off at odds of nine to two. They did not think he could win the race. People were actually saying they didn't believe he could win the race, Golden Tempo. So, he was being bet against to win the race, not to win the race, that's right. His trainer was Sherry Devo. She was the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby. Now she's the first woman to win the Belmont. Okay, the jockey is Gilbert Ortiz, who is a professing Christian, along with his brother, who he ran against again yesterday, are both professing Christians. Gilbert Ortiz won the Belmont in 2017 on Tapwire. Now, there's a lot you can prophesy that I have not prophesied. Tapwire can prophesy. He's already won multiple Eclipse awards for his riding, and he's one of the most successful jockeys in North America. Okay, now this is very interesting, and I did not bring this up during the Derby, but I'm gonna bring this up in the here. Ruth Ann: Golden Tempo is owned by Phipps, P H I P P S Stable, and Saint Elias Stables, but here's the thing about it. The Phipps family is historic in horse racing. It's not their first time, they just didn't suddenly, their family lineage has been racing for over 100 years in North America. So this is really saying something, and they have Golden Tempo, is not their first champion, Personal Enzyme, Easy Goer, Inside Information are all multiple champions this family has produced. So God is going back to legacy, that's real important here. God is talking about legacy. Okay, he's going back to families, and he's going back to inheritances, and he's going to pull that forward, and he's going back to redeem them. So basically, this race is saying the Kentucky Derby said it, and now Belmont said it. God is, and it's that's what He did. Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, He created the family, and Adam and Eve, and He meant them to be successful throughout the earth. He did not mean them to fall to Satan. So he's going back for redemption now. Ruth Ann: There's some very important names of horses in this race: Power Shift, Renegade, Growth Equity, Commandment, Emerging Market, and of course, Golden Tempo, and for you people that don't know it, President Trump is now has gold lights on the White House, and they're shining there now to say we've entered the Golden Age of America. What's a golden age? Now we don't want to go to an empire, and we're fighting the empire spirit. You don't want an empire. An empire is when someone is in control. You want a Golden Age, that's when everybody prospers. That's prosperity released to the people without control of a ruling dominating leader. Okay, I get what I'm saying. There's a difference in a Golden Age to an empire, but these, these are very, very significant names, and I want you to keep up with them. Okay, I have not been able to find anything on Chief Wallaby, but I think he's significant. Ruth Ann: Okay, the distance is one and a fourth miles, because each one of these gets longer. The time they raced in was two minutes and three seconds. It was at Saratoga, but now this is very interesting. Hold on to Saratoga. Let me come back to that. So, basically, the trainer grew up in Saratoga, and this is where she got her start. So, she came back. Very important, God's going to take you back to where you need to be. She came back to where she got her start. Okay, very important. So, if God tells you to go back, go back, that's very important. Wherever He tells you to go back to it's time, because she was sent back to where she started. Ruth Ann: Okay, here's some things you've got to understand that happened in this race. Okay, what happened to Golden Tempo? He stumbled at the start. He was bumped. His rider had to pull him up, had to take him in out of position and move him into a new position and steady him, and he had to force wide. The rider literally, I'm gonna show you every decision in this. Okay, now every time something like this happens, when the horse stumbles, there is a decision. Do you slow him down to see if something's wrong, or do you pull it? You do you keep him pushing him to go. Every time a bump happens in a race, it could be called as a foul. Okay, do you keep bumping, or what? Do you do there is a decision. When he checked his horse, that means he actually pulled the horse back in one part of the race. He slowed him down. Okay, that's a decision. Do you think you're still gonna win it if you slow your horse down? He steadied the horse. In other words, he didn't let him go faster. He just kept him at a steady pace. And then he forced his opponent wide. This is real important. He forced his opponent wide when the horse that was boxing him in, he forced the horse not to box him in, without hitting the horse. He kept forcing the one that was boxing him in. See, this is a decision, and this is what I'm talking about today. So, basically, that's five decisions he made in two minutes. Five decisions to win this race was made in two minutes, and it changed any one of those decisions. Could have cost him. Don't get what I'm saying. Any one of those decisions could have changed the race. Five decisions. In two minutes, Grace five is grace. God's giving us grace. Ruth Ann: Golden, we talked about this represents glory, refinement, purity, and God's purpose. Tempo represents rhythm, and what was all we talking about this morning? God's glory and rhythm, the rhythm, and that's what God is saying, His glory, and get into his rhythm. Okay, very important. We've got to get into his rhythm of doing things. We cannot let somebody else that doesn't understand what's going on make the decision for you. You got to get out there and check the Bible, first Bible, you go there. Next place, go to the prophets, go to the prophets that are proven. Don't go to any prophet, go to proven prophets. Don't know what's going on around you. Listen to the Bible first, then prophets that are proven. And get into the rhythm of God. You got to find out what God is doing. Number nine is associated with fruitfulness and finality. Finality, the end of something, the end of something that is bad. The end of something is the completion of a cycle. You know, when America goes into the golden age, we're talking about financing the glory of God, that's different. Finality of the enemy, the fruit of the spirit, and Jesus died at the ninth hour, so none often points to the mature work of God that comes to completion, that's huge, the material work of God coming to completion. Prophetically America may be entering a season where years of testing is going to produce fruit. Did you hear what I just said. America can, if we make the right decisions, enter into a season where years of testing will produce fruit. Ruth Ann: So, basically, what do these stories resemble? What about Joseph? Joseph had every decision before him. Does he react to Potiphar's wife this way or that way? What's his decision? How does he react in prison, hateful or does he work with them? Every decision got him to the king's palace. Every decision he could have made, any decision along the way that kept him away from the king's palace. What about David? We just talked about David. What was his decision? You're speaking against my covenant; therefore, I can defeat you. David could have backed up and trembled with Israel and came into their offense. Decision. Then you have Israel themselves. What did they do? Their decision in the wilderness cost them to stay in the wilderness and lose a generation. One decision, that's what they made. Okay, so see, I've got to remember in my covenant, no weapon formed against me will prosper. Sometimes I go to my chair, and I say, God, and what we doing about this one? Just a question, I asked my question, what do we do? I'm in covenant, what am I supposed to do? Ruth Ann: Okay, so the ownership connections is a long-established race racing family. What does that mean? That means they have stewarded for it to go over 100 years. Every generation has stewarded what the generations were building. One generation didn't take it and say I'm just going to tear it down and live high and mighty. Every generation for it to last over 100 years took up the purpose and stewarded an increase, because you would have to increase it. Do you see what I'm saying? So this operation is not something that's fly by night, it's one that each generation was taught stewardship. Let me say, you have to teach stewardship to one generation to the other. They were not past offense. I can't pass my offenses to teach somebody stewardship. Because I can catch, I can capture somebody, and what I'm offended over.. So that means generational faithfulness, inheritance preserved and promises passed down. This is what God is saying in this race. Ruth Ann : So the next generation is beginning to reap what previous generations sown, but we have to keep stewarding what they sowed and keep reaping it. That's so important, and I'm not going to pass my offense down. I'm not teaching my offense. I'm teaching you how to steward. There's a difference. I'm teaching you how to increase money. I'm in teaching you how to increase wealth. So, if you go to Secretariat, and I won't say this, but if you go to Secretariat and you watch the movie closely, by the way, Otto Thorpe is going to be with us at the fair this year. The jockey in the movie, I get his name, he answers what I call him. Okay, so basically, if you go to that movie and you watch that movie, number one, Secretariat's owner was inheriting the generational farm that had been there, she had to steward it. She inherited the agreement that her father had made concerning the colts, which one he would get and which one his partner would get. She's stewarding all of that, and she takes up and she studies all the paperwork her father had done. It's in the movie, whether they explain it to you or not. She studies in detail everything that had been done, and she realizes from the paperwork which one's the best horse. She realizes from everything written in the papers which one is going to be the best horse, and she knows that the other man is going to want the other horse, and she wants to lose that corn toss, because she knows from everything she studied, she studied the generational way of operating, she studied everything on the books. She knew everything that's stewarding, and she knew what she had. If she got Secretariat, and everybody thought they had pulled the wool over her eyes, but she knew better, because she had studied in depth. She knew what she had, and then she went to develop it. See, you don't just develop a horse in an hour, it takes three years to get him to a racetrack. She had to steward that horse for three years to get him there. She's waiting three years to make her money back. Y'all get it. She knew what she had. If we would just look and saw where our generations failed. If we would just be honest, where did they pass me some offense that I'm still carrying that I can't go forward for? She studied everything her dad did wrong, and everything he did right. She knew it. Go to the part of the movie and get to the part of the movie where she's digging through the library and just watch that part of the movie. If I had not been in horses and understood the study, it takes to develop a horse. People think you just go out and do it. No, I understand the hours of study it is to develop a champion. I've seen it done, and I've been a part of it, and I still have stacks of papers I don't get rid of that. It's literally that high from the floor up in those volumes of papers of what it takes to make a champion horse, and I saw a man by the name of Mr. Jay Pumphrey, who was president of the American Quarter. He also developed horses for the Russian army and Was that good? Develop champion Kentucky Derby winner after Kentucky Derby winner but got his all on paper before the horse ever existed. That's amazing, is it not? Ruth Ann: The purse they ran for 2 million was for 2 million, so two represents the witness and the testimony. So we're going to have the witness and the testimony and the agreement at the mouth of two witnesses. It shall be established, and we're in the time of speaking 2 the mouth of two witnesses. There's a whole lot more. This was the last Belmont at Saratoga. This means transition, that means America is also transitioning, and it will go back. The Belmont will return to Belmont, New York. Okay, so this was the last time it ran at Saratoga while they are rebuilding Belmont. Okay, so it's a transition. So we are in, and our nation is in a transition. We can either transition into the Golden Age or we can transition into an empire, and we're at that point, and we've got to make the right decision to go into the golden age, and some people are wanting to capture us in an empire, and we don't want to live in an empire, we want to live in a golden age. Ruth Ann: Now, it's very important. Every horse that was running first at one point in time, Power Shift, Emerging Market, Golden Equity. You need all of that. You need every bit of that to create a correct mark, you need that to create the financial base. Every horse that was leading at one point was speaking of a financial base, Power Shift, Golden Equity, and Emerging Markets. Y'all understand that that's pretty important on what God is saying there, because God is doing this financial thing to shift our nation, y'all understand what I'm saying, and you're going to see shifts in the nation that you don't expect, you're going to see the tax structure shift, you're going to see lots of shifts coming in the next, especially in 27 okay, and the prophets have been telling us 2027 2027 that's when we see that shift. Okay, so this race is prophesying it. The other thing, the horse that ran second is Commandment. We're going to have to follow God's commandments to live in the golden age. God's commandments will be the root of it. So you have Golden Tempo, which is gold, purity, glory, and you have the rhythm of God, and you have commandments. We're going to have to come back and live in God's commandments to live where God wants us. That's huge, is what it's saying. Ruth Ann: It's very interesting what Golden Tempo ran under. Remember, I told you there were five decisions in two minutes, right? Okay, the first decision was he stumbled out of the gates when the jockey made the decision to keep going. Okay, he could have, you know, backed up to see if his horse, whatever, he made the decision, the horse was fine, and he kept going, but if you will watch this, you can see every decision that was made, and watch the arrow, and he finally comes against his opponent, who opponent who is Commandment, and he keeps going this way, forcing his opponent to keep going. It almost is, yes, except it was Renegade, he ran beside in the Derby, but in Renegade, I will say that again, is the name of some political leader, but we're not, it's a code name with the CIA, but we're not going to talk about that one, but he outran him every time. So they're showing they backed you up to show the five decisions, and they said just one mistake, one thing, they didn't make the right decision, he would have never won. You see how important decisions. So I thought about it when I wrote decisions, I was writing it days before this race, and I thought, okay, God, you are good, because this whole thing is about decisions, and I want you to look at the sky. This is at the end of the race, and people are walking on the tracks, they'll have golden tempo to come out there. Will see him come across the track where they're taking him to the Winter Circle, and I want you to see what was in the sky. It's a rainbow in the sky. The whole Belmont was run under a rainbow, God's promise. Ruth Ann : So, Father God, we just thank you for decisions, and we thank you, Father God, that we do just what Peter did, we know that our covenant with you is greater than anything. Father God, as we make decisions, we ask you every time, and when you say come, we come, and when you say stop, we stop, but we rely on you for each and every decision, and we thank you, Father God, that we make the decision to live in your glory and not captured by the enemy. Father, we thank you that we understand the decision that's before the whole world right now. Where are we? And we make the decision for glory, Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
