DAVID: So that when it comes you go, you go I had tried everything I knew to do with that and He said that’s right. That’s exactly where I want you because an impossible situation is the perfect setting for a miracle! If you’re in an impossible situation I’ve got good news. That’s the perfect setting for a miracle. You may be looking and saying God I don’t know how you’re going to do it. He will make a way! And I found out that He made a way because I began to weep. And I said Lord, all I want is You. All I want is Your presence. All I want is everything that You have to offer me. Lord, I just want to experience the riches of Jesus!

 

AUDIENCE: Yes.

 

DAVID: And I’ll never forget the Holy Spirit began to speak to me in that moment. And He tells me turn off the light. I turned off the light. He said turn off the fan, it was buzzing. I turned off the fan. He said close the Bible. I said huh!

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

DAVID: Lord, are you sure?

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

DAVID: I closed the Bible. And He said turn off the music. I said surely You can’t move without the music, Lord.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

DAVID: And I turned off the music. And the Lord said to just look at Him. See we try so hard, don’t we? The scripture says: Be still and know that I am God. We want to be still and know our troubles. Be still and know everything that’s going on. Be still and know that I am God. Stillness precedes revelation.

 

AUDIENCE: Yes. Oh. Wow.

 

DAVID: Before you can know you have to be still. And so I’m in that moment and I remember just, just waiting on Him. And all I did was imagine and meditate. You know the scripture says on His word I meditate day and night. Who’s the Word? It’s Jesus. When you’re thinking about Jesus you’re meditating on the Word. And so I’m meditating on Jesus just thinking about I mean whatever way He’s revealed Himself. If He’s revealed Himself as Healer think about what a wonderful Healer He is. If He’s revealed Himself as Savior praise Him for saving you. And so in that moment I’m just thinking about Jesus in all the wonderful ways He’s revealed Himself to me and the Holy Spirit took my revelation of Him and brought it to reality. And in that moment I felt like a gentle breeze, not physically, but I felt somewhat of what could have been described as, I don’t know how to say it other than I sensed it in the spirit and a gentle breeze moves through my room and I became real calm. I became real still. And I remember feeling like warmth on me, electricity moving through me and that transformed my life. I remember I sensed Him so real I was like frozen. And I thought if I open my eyes I’m going to see Him. I was afraid to move my hand because I thought if I moved my hand I might feel it brush up against His robe. And I just stood there still, quiet. That’s the key to spirit-led prayer. We’re going to go into the Four Keys, I mean the Four Realms and I’m going to go over those very quickly but that is the key. I wanted to spend     some time on this. That is the key to spirit-empowered prayer. It’s silence and stillness. Now silence is the easy part, relatively speaking, compared to stillness. Silence is the putting away of outer distraction. It’s turning your phone off. It’s letting people know you can’t disturb me for the next 20 minutes or the next hour or the next 2 hours. I’m going to seek the Lord. That takes discipline. That takes human effort. That’s our partnership with God. You have to block out the days. You know there’s times we go all day and the Holy Spirit’s drawing us. Come pray, come pray, come pray. We say later, Lord. Later, Lord. Later, Lord. And then we get into our prayer closet and we say okay, Lord I’m here and nothing happens and we wonder why. It’s because you missed the appointment.

 

AUDIENCE: That’s right.

 

DAVID: Now I’m not saying you cannot talk to God whenever you want. But there are certain appointments that He has for us when He, cause He initiates everything. He draws us in. We can’t draw ourselves in and we can’t say Lord draw me in. If you’re asking to be drawn it’s because He put that spiritual desire in your heart to be drawn. So if you’re asking for it, when you sense your desire to move in you’re actually sensing His desire to draw you in because you’re becoming one. And so silence is the putting away outer distractions. Silence is that disciplined aspect of prayer. But stillness is the quieting of the soul. Stillness is when you go to pray and all that’s assaulting your mind begins to attack you. What do you do when you go to pray and there’s the inner chaos. Isn’t it funny that you don’t notice that until you pray? All day you’re fine and then the moment you begin to pray things start running through your mind? Can I tell you something? It’s not that that chaos shows up when you start praying. It’s that you’re quiet enough to recognize it.

 

AUDIENCE: Oh, wow.

 

DAVID: A good measure of what goes in inside of you is how you feel when you’re in silence. Cause when you get into silence you get to judge what’s been in your heart all that time. Anyway so I’m going to quickly now go over these keys. Number One: Requesting. Philippians chapter 4, verse 6 through 7 says: Don’t worry about anything. Instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. Then you will experience God’s peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. Now this aspect of prayer is what gets a bad rap because you often hear it said, you often hear it said oh, well I want to ask God for something but I’m afraid because I don’t want to be hypocritical. I don’t want to be materialistic. I know God wants to bless me. I know God wants to give me something. But, but I’m too afraid to ask. Can I tell you something? That’s a poverty mentality! Church, that’s a poverty mentality and it needs to be broken! God wants to bless you! Now in our thinking it’s well what about those people in starving third world countries? Well that’s why God wants to bless you.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHING] Amen.

 

DAVID: So you can do something about it. You see God does it to bless you. God doesn’t need to curse someone else. He’s eternally supplied! And so He wants you to request and I’m going to show you why. Remember we talked about this problem with inner chaos. Did you know that the prayer request is actually God’s way of removing that inner chaos from you? Look at this. Philippians 4, verse 6 and 7. Beginning in verse 6 it says: Don’t worry about anything. Instead pray about everything. Okay? Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done. So some people say if you’re asking God for something you can’t possibly be thankful. This contradicts that because it’s telling you to while you’re asking God for what you need you’re thanking Him for what He has done. You can be requesting and grateful at the same time! Then verse 7 says, and we all quote this one. Peace that passeth all understanding. Right? But it says: Then you will experience God’s peace which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. When Then. When?

 

AUDIENCE: Then.

 

DAVID: Church, when?

 

AUDIENCE: Then!

 

DAVID: When is then? It’s talking about when you give Him your purposes. Come to God. Ask Him for what you want. Then the peace of God will fill your heart! When you enter into the realm of prayer requests what you’re doing is you’re collecting all of your needs, all of those things that trouble you and you’re handing them over to God. That inner chaos in you you’re taking it and leaving it in God’s hands. So the prayer request is one of the keys to stillness of the soul! When we give God the things that trouble us within us, when we give Him those things that are on our mind it frees us to be able to enter the deeper realms of prayer. Here’s the problem and this is why the prayer request is looked at negatively. Because when people pray and they unburden themselves of their earthly desires and their earthly concerns they give it to God, they feel the peace flood them then what do they do? They say thank You, God and they go on their way. God didn’t give you the peace so that you can walk away. He gave you the peace to move closer! So the prayer request is Number One. Number Two is reverencing. John chapter 4, verse 23 says: But the time is coming, indeed it’s here now, when true worshippers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth. The Father is looking for those who will worship Him that way. I was at a church and I don’t mean, if you’re religious I’m sorry, you’re going to get offended, but I was at a church that had one of those angry drill sergeant worship leaders.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

DAVID: The ones who scolds you if you’re not doing exactly what they need you to do during different parts. Oh, don’t you love the Lord? Oh come on. You can lift your hand or you can yell, and they say the same things, you can yell for a baseball game, you can yell for a football game but you can’t yell for Jesus! All right they say those things. And so she’s yelling at people. I’m going oh my goodness! She’s like really angry at this church. I, it’s like, this is like, this is righteous indignation or she’s got to repent, one of the two, and she’s yelling at them and I remember just the atmosphere was very, it wasn’t God. It was the flesh. It was very uncomfortable. And she says come on, you’ve got to get used to this because this is how it’s going to be in heaven. I said I sure hope not!

AUDIENCE: I release authority.

 

RON: To Pastor Ron.

 

AUDIENCE: To Pastor Ron.

 

RON: To deal with this spirit.

 

AUDIENCE: To deal with this spirit.

 

RON: I say to the spirit of heaviness on all these who are standing you’re a liar, a murderer and a thief! You have no standing in their life and you can’t stay. I expose you to the light and the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ! I cancel your right! You have no standing! They have confessed that stronghold that allowed you there and at my word and by their breath you will leave now! I want you to say this after me three times. Be gone!

 

AUDIENCE: Be gone!

 

RON: Be gone!

 

AUDIENCE: Be gone!

 

RON: Be gone!

 

AUDIENCE: Be gone!

 

RON: In the name of Jesus!

 

AUDIENCE: In the name of Jesus!

 

RON: Now take a deep breath. Take another one. [laughs] Take another breath. Take another breath. Now He said He’d, look at me now, He said He’d give you a garment of praise.

 

AUDIENCE: Amen!

 

RON: How many of you – you know I got dressed I’m not a morning person, I didn’t feel like getting dressed when I got dressed.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

RON: That’s why I didn’t say get happy – He said put on, you have to get dressed whether you want to or not.

 

AUDIENCE: Amen. That’s right.

 

RON: So right now you got to decide. I think I’m just going to praise God right now.

 

AUDIENCE: Amen [CLAPPING]

 

RON: So go ahead and give Him a hand clap, give Him a shout!

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

 

RON: Come up. I want you to come up here. You. Come right up here. Everybody else sit down but her. Come up here, darling. Where’s my oil? This is Ken Wilkerson. As long as you don’t approach me suddenly you’ll be all right.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

RON: This is Noble, the angel. This is my armor-bearer from Chattanooga. You know we weren’t finished, didn’t you? There’s so much hurt in you. Is there anything physically wrong with you?

 

WOMAN #1:No.

 

RON: I didn’t think so. The Lord’s going to restore your beauty. The beauty of the Lord will be upon you. This old stress is about to kill you.

 

WOMAN #1:Uh-huh.

 

RON: Somebody hurt you.

 

WOMAN #1:Uh-huh.

 

RON: And the enemy told you you weren’t anything and you may have even done a few things wrong but you know God doesn’t even remember those.

 

WOMAN #1:Uh-huh.

 

RON: So who’s reminding you? The one who wants to kill you.

 

WOMAN #1:Uh-huh.

RON: And that’s because you have an assignment from God and you’re going to forget this junk today. So bow your head say Lord.

 

WOMAN #1:Lord.

 

RON: I thank You.

 

WOMAN #1:I thank You.

 

RON: That I’m forgiven.

 

WOMAN #1:That I’m forgiven.

 

RON: That I’m free.

 

WOMAN #1:That I’m free.

 

RON: Everything I’ve ever done.

 

WOMAN #1:Everything I’ve ever done.

 

RON: Or that’s been done to me.

 

WOMAN #1:Or that’s been done to me.

 

RON: Is gone!

 

WOMAN #1:Is gone!

 

RON: In the name of Jesus!

 

WOMAN #1:In the name of Jesus!

 

RON: All right. Look at me. On the authority of the Word of God, Apostolic authority, I announce to you your sins are forgiven you and God will never remind you of them again. Now you say I forgive.

 

WOMAN #1:I forgive.

 

RON: Those that have hurt me.

 

WOMAN #1:Those that have hurt me.

 

RONNow I’m going to anoint you with the oil of gladness and healing according to James 5. Is this okay?

 

WOMAN #1:Yes.

 

RON: Father, the anointing of joy. Lord, let her brow that has been furrowed by worry and fear leave! I say ah, get off her chest right now you lying devil. I say to the enemy now, um-huh, I come against a spirit of inferiority, to the lying voice that’s told her she’s nothing and nobody, that’s told her she’ll never catch up with where she’s supposed to be. You’re a liar. I restore her heritage right now and bring healing! I command the spirit of witchcraft to turn her loose right now in the name of Jesus! The tightness, the fear, I come against a spirit of fear. You leave! You obey me. Leave. Leave. Leave. I command insomnia, she hasn’t been able to sleep. I command insomnia to leave right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! And I declare Lord that you will make her to lie down in green pastures and lead her beside still waters. Lord, I command every relationship that she’s in that’s been destroying her even if she thinks it’s a friend that’s drug her down, that the enemy has used will be broken and you’ll bring the right friendships into her life. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Do you receive that?

 

WOMAN #1:I do.

 

RON: Do you feel it?

 

WOMAN #1:I do.

 

RON: Put both hands up. Say Father.

 

WOMAN #1:Father.

 

RON: Dress me up.

 

WOMAN #1:Dress me up.

 

RON: In the garment of praise.

 

WOMAN #1:In the garment of praise.

 

RON: I will be happy again! [laughing]

 

WOMAN #1:I will be happy again.

 

RON: I want some joy in my life.

 

WOMAN #1:I want some joy in my life.

 

RON: And I want some rest.

 

WOMAN #1:I want rest.

 

RON: Now I want you to look at me. Turn around. Don’t do anything. Just look. I want you to look at her face. Look. See the wrinkles gone?

 

AUDIENCE: CLAPPING]

 

RON: Go look in a mirror. The Lord’s touched you!

 

AUDIENCE: ! [CLAPPING] Glory to God!

 

RON: You see her face shining?

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING] Hallelujah!

 

RON: I want to speak to cancer. I want to speak to lumps. There’s someone here that’s either got breast cancer, had it, and there’s fear about it on your life and God wants to break you loose from that. If you’re in here stand up right now or if you’re watching by television you’ll need to email us but this is for you, for the partners out there as well. Is there anyone here right now that’s concerned about a breast cancer diagnosis? Anybody? Then there’s someone out there watching us on television and among the partners it is. I want to announce to you that when you go to the bathroom if you’ll check, those lumps are gone!

 

AUDIENCE: Amen! [CLAPPING]

!

RON: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Someone just said in their spirit to me well it’s not breast cancer, but – but. So whatever that is there’s something else in your life that you’re worried about in the area of the cancerous type stuff. Who are you? Come up here right now. C’mon. It’s leaving in the name of Jesus! If you’re watching, I want all the partners there are more of you than there are in here. There are dozens of you that are going to be healed right now of uterine, breast, leukemia, blood disorders in the name of Jesus Christ! When Billye Brim was here the Lord said he was going to take care of blood disorders. The issues of blood in the name of Jesus!

 

WOMAN #2:My sister has battled 10 years of cancer. She has no flesh left on her rear. She only has pus and skin and, and she has, the cancer is gone but she looks a hundred years old and I –

 

RON: You’re about, you’re going to fix her. See you know what the last chapter of Mark says? [laughs] I’m fixing to anoint you!

 

WOMAN #2:Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!

 

RON: Cause I can’t get to her but you can! Huh?

 

WOMAN #2:Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!

 

RON: The Bible doesn’t say the preachers will lay hands on us. It think it said – [laughs]

 

WOMAN #2:Yes!

 

RON: [laughs] It said these signs shall follow them that have faith! That believe! The Lord will restore her!

WOMAN #2:Thank You, Jesus!

 

RON: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth I anoint you!

 

WOMAN #2:Thank You Father! Thank You Jesus!

 

RON: Give me your hand. And not only that there’s a gift of healing in you! You want to do this?

 

WOMAN #2:Oh Amen!

 

RON: Just do it by faith in JesusÆ name!

 

WOMAN #2: By faith I take it! Amen!

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

 

RON: Are you ready to be healed?

 

WOMAN #3:I am healed.

 

RON: Praise God!

 

WOMAN #3:I’m already healed! Hallelujah!

 

RON: Well we are reinforcing that today and declaring to every spirit of infirmity you cannot come back in the name of Jesus!

 

WOMAN #3: It’s a lump, it’s a lump on my back.

 

RON: Is it –

 

WOMAN #3:I want it gone. I’ve prayed for it. And I believe it’s –

 

RON: Father, in Jesus name we command that lump LEAVE!

 

WOMAN #3:GO!

WOMAN #3:Right now!

 

RON: Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

 

WOMAN #3:Oh hallelujah!

 

RON: I mix my faith with hers.

 

WOMAN #3:Oh hallelujah!

 

RON: Yeah! Devil I tell you too. You’ll not reappear with that lump anywhere else.

 

WOMAN #3:Oh hallelujah!

 

RON: Or on anybody else in this room! I declare lumps and bumps to leave right now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Hallelujah!

 

WOMAN #3:Glory! Thank You! Hallelujah!!

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

 

RON [to Woman #4]:You’re a good woman. You’re an intercessor. And you need to stay. [laughs] So I declare that from the top of your head to the sole of your feet every cell that could destroy you is gone! Woo! In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth! Hallelujah!

SHAWN: Doesn?t that sound ridiculous? Give yourself the grace to grow and track when it?s right! Journal. Like get a little journal and track when it?s right and track when it doesn?t hit. Track what you?re feeling. Track when it was correct, what you were feeling inside, what you were thinking. Maybe the times that you?re getting it the most right like I had one guy tell me I was in the most unbelief before all the times I was getting it the most right. So now whenever I?m in extreme unbelief over what I?m getting inside I know it?s God!

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

SHAWN: I mean how weird is that? Our processes are all different so I want to encourage you figure out your process. Nobody can make your process happen and nobody can want prophecy or desire it for you. You have to want it yourself. You have to actually manifest out of your own faith this journey with God but it?s do-able and you can do it! I promise you that if you try and do this it will blow you away. Now the last thing I?ll say is I just got a text while we were sitting here, I just got a Facebook text and one of the girls who?s involved with the West Virginia revival, have you heard about this? In the last 8 week over 4000 people have gotten saved! And she just wrote me. I didn?t know I had any connection to it at all. She just wrote me and said we?ve been going through your book ?Translating God? for the last two weeks. We?re doing a ten week study on it and almost all the leaders involved with the revival are going through it and we?re taking greater and greater risks. And one of the brand new girls, converts in Applebee?s gave a word to someone that contained so much detail that it provoked us to all to be hungry because we?re doing this study together and we?re like if she can do it as a brand new believer we?re all doing it. So we?re all getting high-level words of knowledge. Just so you know it?s the next wave of what?s going on here in West Virginia.

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING] Woo!

 

SHAWN: So here?s my challenge to you. If I can do it, if our used-to-be-orphans in Africa can do it, if our girls who used to be street walkers can do it, if the West Virginia kids who are just getting saved out of High Schools can do it you?d better believe you can do this! But it?s going to take a process and it?s going to take some hard work and faith and belief and not getting discouraged and not having significance issues and not getting into performance and just going God, You are God I?m not and I don?t have to look like You! I don?t have to be awesome. Thank You Jesus! I?m not awesome. You?re awesome and when you come and choose to be awesome in me oh it?s so awesome! And when I?m just me it?s not so awesome. So teach me how to walk with You in Jesus? name. Amen. Okay. Let me pray for you. Holy Spirit, I pray over this group. I see you over here too. I pray over this group and I pray over those watching right now. I pray over you. I pray that God would give you a word of knowledge ministry, a prophetic ministry that if you would be diligent to pursue this God is going to give you details of people?s hearts that are undeniable, a black and white moment with Jesus where they go oh my gosh, oh my gosh You?re real! Oh my gosh You saw me in those times! Oh my gosh You knew me when it was hardest! Oh my gosh You were there from the beginning! Lord I pray that we would have those ?aha? moments. That we would birth better ?aha moments? than Oprah can. God that you would give us an ability to prophesy and to touch people?s lives! And I pray over each one of you watching and each one of you who is here that you would have an impartation of a manifestation of prophetic anointing that would stimulate and advance and accelerate this process in your life! I believe this is a ?now time? for this. I believe I?m walking in something that?s transferrable. I feel a blanket going across this auditorium. I?m feeling it going all the way through the airways right now, all the way through the internet. I pray that there would be a release right now of glory! In Jesus? name! Now I?m going to give you some words here and I think most of the words here will be local. I did write them down when I was in the green room. I have a friend named, it?s actually a whole family. The Hendrickson family. But I felt like maybe there was someone with the last name of Hendrickson. Is that, you?re a Hendrickson? Henderson? Okay. Is your name John? This is you then. Okay, this is good. I saw then the Hendrickson?s but you?re Henderson, John. That?s all I got. I?m nervous now. Umm.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

SHAWN: I did write down that do you have just one daughter

 

JOHN: Yes.

 

SHAWN: And do you have two sons?

 

JOHN: Three.

 

SHAWN: Three sons. And are two of them married or all three of them married?

 

JOHN: Two are married.

 

SHAWN: Two are married so you have two daughter-in laws cause I was seeing three girls.

JOHN: Yes.

 

SHAWN: That?s how I was seeing it. And I felt like God was just saying that from the time they were little you?ve prayed for them for this incredible purpose. And there?s John Jr. There?s a John Jr., right? And I feel like John Jr.?s going to be your signpost in this next season. He?s a great young man but he?s about to come into like significance of purpose and identity like he never has. And I?m telling you his life like he?s going to come into, I feel like part of it is linked to career and desire inside of him. And I feel like God is saying I?m moving on behalf of your children. All of your prayers have been heard from heaven. He loves your prayer life so much and I felt like I wrote down this phrase which may mean something. He said the church is rising around you. You have a message for the church.

 

JOHN: Ha-ha. [LAUGHING AND CLAPPING]

 

SHAWN: What does that mean to you?

 

JOHN: Our new church is called ?the Rising.?

 

SHAWN: Oh come on!

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

 

SHAWN: That?s awesome! Well He told me that you have a message to help the church ascend. That?s amazing!

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

 

SHAWN: That?s amazing. Lord God! I?m telling you He?s going to answer your prayers and even as you?ve done such a good job of loving His kids so much, not just your own kids, but so many people?s kids. He?s going to do such a great job of fathering your children in this season. Each one of them is going through like greater purpose, like questioning. And some of them have a little bit of purpose discouragement. Don?t let this, tell them not to be super discouraged. God is going to intervene in their lives if they just call out to God. Just ask Him what He wants for them in this season. In 2016 and 2017 these bigger question marks are going to be answered by His heart over your children and the in-law kids, like these two in-laws, the daughters.

 

JOHN: Yes.

 

SHAWN: And your daughter?s husband and maybe her little boy? Did she have a little boy?

 

JOHN: Yes. [LAUGHING]

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

SHAWN: And so God?s is there someone

 

JOHN: It?s my son-in-law and my grandson.

 

SHAWN: So your son-in-law and grandson are right here. So God is touching them with such a spirit of love and power. Your whole family unit?s going to be blessed! So bless you guys! Thanks for coming today.

 

AUDIENCE: [CLAPPING]

 

SHAWN: Jesus is so good. Wow! I?m so glad. It?s happening, guys, it?s happening.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

SHAWN: Okay. I?m taking a big risk here. And I saw a username as DBLASS07. Does that make sense to anybody? DBLASS07? And it might be a Diane. Does that make sense? There?s somebody who works here but she?s not here in the room now? Okay. She?s at her desk right now? Can you go ask her if that?s her username? Hey we can do it even though it?s on TV right now we can do this. This is great. So DBLASS07 just so she knows. I had one more username. I never get usernames but I asked God for new information I never get and He gave me Terry Bishop 911. Is that a username? Where is he? Terry Bishop you?re working on the show and we?re getting you. Is this, is this your, is this a username you use? Terry Bishop 911? Is that like your email or something? That?s your username for what? What is it your username for? He?s getting pulled off his project. The show may not work anymore but the live will work.

 

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

 

SHAWN: What is it?
