LAURA: So this is the 21st century. This is a broad question but what is the number one hook when you see people come in. It may differ for – 

DAWNA: Fear!

LAURA: A different demographic. Fear?

DAWNA: Fear!

LAURA: Always?

DAWNA: Hands down!

LAURA: Wow!

DAWNA: Because God did not give you a spirit of fear but power, love and a sound mind. And fear is number one!

LAURA: Okay. So that’s the root. What is the next immediate emotion? You know what I mean?

DAWNA: Uh-huh!

LAURA: Sometimes you’ve got to dig to find the fear. It usually manifests itself in some other way. What is that other thing usually?

DAWNA: Anger! I find that rage is, you know, and control!

LAURA: Right.

DAWNA: I find that the most controlling person you know is going to be the most fearful down inside.

LAURA: They are fearful. I agree.

DAWNA: Because they’re just like – they’re trying to arrange everything.

LAURA: Uh-huh. Uh-huh.

DAWNA: So that they don’t get hurt or – yeah, fear.

LAURA: Yeah. I’ve been that person. I’ve also said that anger is a secondary emotion. Hurt – you know anger’s easier! Hurt feels too – it feels so hard to deal with. It’s painful! So it’s easier just to get mad! So I was just curious your bent on it like with all the people that you see that come through your ministry you know fear – it’s not a surprise that you answered with that. And fear is faith in the devil I heard somebody say one time, you know.

DAWNA: Yeah. Definitely.

LAURA: And so really it’s the opposite. It’s the opposite of the faith that we’re supposed to have.

DAWNA: Yeah. I heard someone else say to me that fear is the belief that something bad is going happen. Whereas faith is believing that something good is going to happen. And so I had a friend who worked as a policeman in Iraq and he said he would get up and he would flag every morning on top of the building and he said I just wouldn’t buy into fear. I was just going to say no, something good’s going to happen today.

LAURA: Wow!

DAWNA: Yeah.

LAURA: Okay. Just now I just felt like the Lord –

DAWNA: Hah! [laughs]

LAURA: Said that –

DAWNA: [laughs]

LAURA: Yeah. That there was someone when you said that word about there’s somebody who’s controlling. They try to arrange things. They did not understand about themselves that that’s fear. Would you pray them? 

DAWNA: Yeah. Yeah.

LAURA:  Because that was really a moment of revelation for somebody.

DAWNA: Yeah. So I would just say if that’s you if have that sense of people tell me that I’m controlling but I don’t think I am. I just like things in order that you would actually allow the Holy Spirit right now to look past that control and the need to be in order and that you would allow Him to take care of the fears. And I just break off of you the lie that God’s going to punish you. That God is looking to change what you’re doing because you’re not doing it right. And I just release you from any negative words spoken by your parents. That your mom maybe was like you should have done this better or why did you do that? We break [snapping finger sound] off a critical spirit that’s come against you that has made you fearful of failure, that has made you want to control. And your husband is going to love it if you’re a woman married and your wife will love it if you fix all this if you’re a married man!

LISA: I’ll forgive him when he brings forth some fruit worthy of repentance. Then I’ll forgive him when I have some kind of hope that this is not going to be another weekend like all the other weekends then I’ll forgive him. And the Holy Spirit said to me he cannot change unless you forgive him. And then he began to talk to me about when I come to Him and I ask for forgiveness. And I said God forgive me. I gossiped again. He doesn’t say to me You know what? You’re just going to do it again next week. Just come back when you’re really sorry, Lisa. He always says to me I believe you want to change and I forgive you. And God told me he said when your husband comes home from this weekend away rather than bringing up you did this, this, this and this but I forgive you. He said you can only say John, I believe you want to change and I forgive you. And from that time forward it was never a problem again. But it had created a fear in me and then John felt like a failure and the guilt and the shame and the condemnation he was feeling just escalated it. And you know there are some women and I mean I’m never saying a women that gets hit isn’t a victim, but I didn’t cower in a corner. I hit him back. So we were just ridiculous.

SID: You grabbed a lamp. (LAUGHING)

LISA: I grabbed a lamp and went after him. Absolutely. I did not, I did not take it laying down.

JOHN: (LAUGHING) Oh, man

SID: John, John, how did that John, how did that affect you when Lisa came with a Jesus type of attitude when you came back?

JOHN: You know I was, I was so humbled by it and so in awe of it that it made me want to change. And I mean I was like oh my gosh, she’s just, she’s, she’s not berating me. That’s the thing. We would berate each other. So I would just hone in on what she was doing wrong. She would hone in on what I would be doing wrong. And it was so freeing to me and it gave me a motivation even more so which I had already gotten when I went away and prayed that weekend, but a motivation to say gosh, I got to be her prince. I got to be her champion and you know I mean deep down in every single person you wouldn’t have married that person probably 99.9% of the time if the man didn’t want to be the champion for his wife. That’s the desire of every guy. And when Lisa started treating me with such tenderness and forgiveness, I was like it made me want to be her champion even more. Does that make sense?

SID: And, and so if that’s what the man is looking for, Lisa, what is the woman looking for?

LISA: Well I think every woman wants to know that she’s irreplaceable. Everything in our culture says to this woman  you’re never going to be good enough. You’re never going to be thin enough. You’re never going to be tall enough. You’re never going to be young enough. You’re never going to be beautiful enough. There’s always going to be a competitor out there that can displace you at any given moment. And I think that’s why so many women feel so insecure in their marriage. And so one of the best things that John did for me was he built me up. It was like, okay so when we were first, you know first dating all I had was a suntan and a six-pack. Not a beer. But I actually used to be buff and muscular. So John would say things like I bet she’s going to be an amazing mother. I bet she’s going to be great with money. I bet she’ll be a great cook. And I was an idiot! I didn’t know how to do any of those things.

SID: [LAUGHS]

ROY: And it sounds like you’re saying there’s no authority without love as well?

JENNIFER: What it is is it limits you. Your heart will only fight so far.

ROY: Yeah.

JENNIFER: You know because the pain gets too great. The battle gets too heated and if you don’t know His love and His intimacy you know you’ll stop short!

ROY: Gosh that’s so important! 

JENNIFER: Yeah.

ROY: Well listen, we’re going to come right back with Jennifer Eivaz and I am excited to tell you we’re going to minister to YOU!

JENNIFER: Amen!

ROY: You want to capture some of this today! Maybe you’re oppressed by something today. [music] Maybe you’re dealing with this thing. She’s going to help you through that because Jesus touched her, Jesus is going to use her to touch you! We’ll be right back right after this!

[music]

ROY: Hey welcome back! [music ends] This is Roy Fields! Hi! And I’m with Jennifer Eivaz and we’ve been talking about how to get delivered from demonic oppression and how to be used in intercessory prayer and in the prophetic! And Jennifer you’ve been talking about you got delivered from this thing even after a Christian as we were talking through the show.

JENNIFER: Yeah! Yeah!

ROY: And then you’re now equipping and training people in the prophetic and I know for a fact there’s somebody out there watching this and they’re listening to your story and they’re thinking help me through this. What would you say to somebody right now if they’re going through what you’re going through? Cause I know there’s many!

JENNIFER: Yeah!

ROY: How would you lead them to step out of this thing that they’re dealing with?

JENNIFER: Well the first thing I would say to them and I’m actually going to minister in prayer in just a moment.

ROY: Okay.

JENNIFER: Cause I can feel it actually that there’s some people that are going to need some specific prayer. But it’s actually understanding that you’re not alone.

ROY: Yeah.

JENNIFER: And so you know I’m just going to talk to you right now that just understand that you’re not alone in what you’re dealing with! That there are many others like you who are dealing with feelings of torment. Hearing tormenting voices at night. Things in your house are shaking or moving on their own and you’re like this is crazy! I’m a Christian! I serve the Lord! This should not be happening at this stage, at this place in my life! And so first of all I want to tell you that you’re not alone but you are dealing with demonic oppression. And so I want to give you the tools right now to take authority over it and I want you to rise up in YOUR authority that YOU have in Christ and I want you to tell those things to go! I’m going to go first but then you’ll have the verbiage, you’ll have the words that you can continue on after this show is over. And so in the name of Jesus I just pray over you right now! I take authority over every demonic spirit that is tormenting you, that is keeping you awake at night, that is keeping you, keeping you in a feeling of being crazy and out of your mind.

KAREN: Well because it’s true. I was so insecure and so shy that it was crippling to me. But there comes a moment in my life where I had to realize that I was called to something more than just myself. And I think sometimes we get so caught up in worrying about yourself and worrying about who we are that we forget that we’re here for more than just yourself. We’re here to minister life to someone else! And I think for the viewer, for anyone that’s out there that’s listening that if you’ve just tuned in I want you to know that God loves you and that He cares for you. He cares about every detail of your life! For me, in my life, I felt like I didn’t have a voice. I felt like I didn’t have anything to offer. I felt like maybe I didn’t come from the right household. Maybe I didn’t come from the right lineage. Maybe I, you know, I didn’t have the right education. I wasn’t qualified to do anything for God. But God showed me in one moment when I looked in the mirror and He said, “You are more than what you have become.” In that moment it hit me that what I have walked through in my life, what I have experienced in my life was for more than just a temporary moment. It was so that I could go out and I could speak life to someone else! And I want you to know wherever you’re at in life, if you’re in a dry season, if you’re in a dark season, if you’re in a quiet season and you can’t hear God all you have to do the Bible says if you “draw near to God He will draw near to you.” And all you have to do is lean into His presence. Lean in and ask Him and He will show up because that’s what He’s done to me in my life is He has just walked into the room and I could feel His presence. Because God says “I want to use you to minister life!” What you have walked through is a good indication of who you are called to!

LAURA: That’s true. That is so true!

KAREN: And He will never leave you! Never forsake you! Never walk out on you. He cares that much about you that you are worth His time today!

LAURA: [chuckles] We comfort others with the comfort with which we’ve been comforted.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: All right. Back to your teaching.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: You’re a writer.

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: And so you’ve authored multiple books.

KAREN: Uh-huh.

LAURA: And, you know, authoring with your husband even but you train others to do that!

KAREN: Yes.

LAURA: That’s what I thought was so interesting about Remnant is that you also train writers! So this isn’t just an evangelism school. Tell me a little bit about everything that you offer there and teach.

KAREN: Yes. Well my husband and I, He’s written several books and then I wrote but even when I went to write I thought, “Oh my goodness, I don’t even know where to start!”

LAURA: [laughing]

KAREN: I don’t know what to do! I’m just sitting here looking at a blank piece of paper!

LAURA: [laughing]

KAREN: And nothing’s going to happen! And so but my husband actually walked in one day and he said, “What are you doing?” And I said, “I don’t know. I don’t know where to start. And so he sat down and we got out a whiteboard and we started. He said, “Do this, this, this and this.”

LAURA: [laughing]

BILL: Now there’s a whole new ministry or opportunity opening up for you and God says you’ve wondered what’s going on Lord? Is this change? I’ve been here I’ve been there but now the Lord says I give you that experience before you even got saved I took you into some things and praise you and now the Lord says I formed you into the man I want with the ministry I want and I’m going to open a door that no man can shut and you’re going to move into it, amen? God bless you, amen.

Audience: [Applause]

BILL: By the way, the word of the Lord for this year for me – I started getting the word of the Lord in 1988, I was the first one that ever started doing that, now everybody does it. All the prophets do. But I remember my words, I always try to make them rhyme, it goes update, relate and activate! All you married folks have to do that. How many know the man or woman you married is not the same person you married? Come on. You’re not the same. I know what that look means! No I don’t mean that anymore! I know what that tone is! But you have to update. My wife and I had to update for 59 years about every 5 years you know? Update then relate then activate. Kiss and make up and go on. Hallelujah. My wife and I made an agreement when we got married that we’d never go to sleep with an unsettled dispute or anger because we read in the Bible where it says if you go to bed angry and don’t settle it you open the door for the devil to come in during the night. So Ephesians says that so we said that we’d never go to sleep with an unsettled dispute. We saw the sun come up a few times –

Audience: [Laughter]

BILL: – but we were faithful! Amen. If you’re going to live together, why not make it a joy instead of a misery? Come on. Well I don’t have time to deal with that. But, update, relate and activate. This year is an open door that no man can shut, opportunities and advancement. So it’s an open door this year amen.

Audience: [Applause]

BILL: Now let me help you – I’m going to give you a short synopsis. I’ve written 3 books on the prophetic – and we believe in practical reality. I mean, you’re real. You don’t have to [gasp] you know. When I was on the Benny Hinn program I was talking about you don’t have to get the monkey anointing like we did in Bengali and go [hoots] you know.

Audience: [Laughter]

BILL: I like to feel good all over more than anywhere else, but when I don’t feel anything and my soul or in my body, that doesn’t stop me moving in the spirit. Moving in the spirit has nothing to do with your soul or body. I mean I’ve prophesied till 4 o’clock in the morning many times over 3 or 400 people and after you prophesy for 2 or 3 hours your body goes dead, your soul is dead, you just open up soul and body and let spirit flow. Amen. But some of you still want tingles up and down the spine or goosebumps or palpitations of the heart. That’s good to have, but you don’t have to have it. Just like if you’ve been married over 10 years you don’t get that every time you kiss your wife.

KYLE: Alright. That has to do with the power of God’s spoken Word. How you kept declaring over and over and over again. [music] When we come back, Dr. Clarice is going to go further into how to activate the power of God’s Word in your life and she’s going to speak and impart into you. Stay with us.

[music]

KYLE: Welcome back to “Something More”. I’m your host Kyle Winkler. Dr. Clarice, when we were just talking, we mentioned about how your daughter died of a heroin overdose. Then she was miraculously brought back to life, went back to prison, and then was later released because of the power of God’s spoken Word.

CLARICE: Absolutely, absolutely.

KYLE: You say that the Kingdom is voice activated.

CLARICE: Well, the Kingdom of God is a kingdom of words. Just as surely as Jesus is the Word made flesh, you and I, the redeemed, are the flesh that must be made into the Word of God because He says, “God’s Word will not return void”. There’s a DNA, a divine nature attitude. So we are word. Jesus is the ultimate word of what God had to say.

KYLE: Yes.

CLARICE: But you and I are a word from the mouth of God. So the Kingdom of God is a word that must be activated by spoken, out of the redeemed, your words become like slaves that usher forth out of Zion to do the bidding of God and what God watches over to perform is His Word.

KYLE: He performs His Word—

CLARICE: Right.

KYLE: –by us speaking it? So it’s not just—I mean reading our Bibles is great, but we’ve got to get it out of our minds and into our mouths.

CLARICE: Well, we’re made in the image and likeness of God and God did not hum us into existence. He didn’t think us into existence. He said let there be a revelation of what’s already here when He said, “Let there be light,’ because He was light. Light was already there.

KYLE: And He sustains all things by His powerful Word.

CLARICE: Right. Everything is by the Word. So, as we learn to not be moved—see facts, are not always truths. You’ve got a lot of facts—

KYLE: Explain that a little bit.

CLARICE: Okay well, I can be oppressed, suppressed, repressed, depressed or possessed.

KYLE: That might be a fact or symptom.

CLARICE: That’s a fact, but the truth is I’m healed, delivered and rich.

KYLE: Amen. So the truth is found in God’s Word and not in what you feel or what you fear or situations.

CLARICE: And the truth is what angels hearken to perform. When they recognize the Word of God, then we have superior air power immediately that comes into the Word of God bringing perfection or maturity. In our case with Julie, she had to reach the maturity. She had to have not just a doctrine, but she had to have an experience. And that’s where many people, they’re reared on the doctrines, which are good, you’re doctrine will determine your destiny, but the reality is, you must have an experience. Paul on the road to Damascus has an experience which changes him from a murdering terrorist into the one that brought the message of grace to the redeemed. It’s just incredible.

ALISS: I’m just seeing all these bright lights. Lord, we thank You! You know the angels? Whatever you honor, you attract. So when you honor the Holy Spirit. I know He’s in you. If you’ve asked Jesus into your life, He’s in you. But He will manifest His presence. So when you start talking about the Holy Spirit and welcoming Him and saying “Holy Spirit, we love You! We love Your presence! The Spirit of Jesus come” He will manifest His presence in a greater way! You will start to feel something. You might see something. It’s the same with angels. Now we’re told not to worship angels but it’s fine to talk to them! So sometimes I will say and very often I will say, “Father God, thank You for Your angels!” So let’s thank Him right now for the angels in this place! “Thank You for Your angels!”

AUDIENCE: Thank You for Your angels.

ALISS: Wherever you are watching there’s angels with you. You can’t always see them but they’re always there! So say thank You, Lord God, for Your angels!” What I say is “I welcome the angels! I welcome the messengers from heaven sent by God. We need your help.”

AUDIENCE: We need your help.

ALISS: And sometimes I say why don’t you angels and heavenly messengers, would you manifest in the physical realm from the spirit realm? Should we do that?

AUDIENCE: Yes. [Laughing]  

ALISS: [Laughs] Wow! Let’s all say that together. If you want to say that, just say “Thank you, Father God!”

AUDIENCE: Thank You, Father God!”

ALISS: For Your angels. 

AUDIENCE: For Your angels.

ALISS: And we welcome the angels. 

AUDIENCE: And we welcome the angels.

ALISS: And the messengers from heaven.

AUDIENCE: And the messengers from heaven.

ALISS: Why not step out of the physical realm.

AUDIENCE: Why not step out of the physical realm.

ALISS: And – oh no, that’s the wrong way! And step out of the – [Laughing]

AUDIENCE: [Laughter]

ALISS: I was just testing you there!

AUDIENCE: [Laughter]

ALISS: Step out from the spirit realm.

AUDIENCE: Step out from the spirit realm.

ALISS: Into the physical realm!

AUDIENCE: Into the physical realm!

ALISS: Mmmm. Thank You, Jesus! You know there are healing angels? You know in John where it talks about the angel that would come to the Pool of Bethesda and the angel would stir the waters. And the first person into the water after the angel had stirred the waters would get healed. Well that’s good but how about having the healer Himself?

AUDIENCE: Yes!

ALISS: Cause there was a guy at the time and he couldn’t get into the water cause he was so paralyzed he couldn’t even crawl into the water. So was it like 38 years? It was a long time he was waiting to get into the water. I mean that’s good to have water. I mean what about that? Say if we had a pool right here, right where you’re sitting. Right where you are if there was a pool that an angel would come and you’d see the angel stir the water and that if you jumped in you’d be completely well. That would be good, wouldn’t it?

AUDIENCE: Yeah!

Eddie: Yeah. Scripture said it. Scripture said it. Scripture said it. Scripture said it. Oh the Bible said it, yes. Scripture said it. Scripture said it. Scripture said it. Out of your belly. Out of your belly. Out of your belly. Out of your belly. Out of your belly. Out of your belly. Out of your belly! Out of your belly! Everybody shout flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! Flow! I’ve got a river! Of living water. Rivers of living water! Of living water. I’ve got the river of living water! I’ve got a river! Of living water! Listen! You should have been there when I came through Church was on fire the Holy Ghost too from the top of my head to the sole of my feet felt the Spirit moving all over me. You should have been there when I came through Church was on fire and the Holy Ghost too from the top of my head to the sole of my feet I felt the Spirit moving all over me. Said I’ve got the river! Of living water! I’ve got a river! Of living water! I’ve got the river! Of living water! River of living— Living water. Now help me say this! Say it! You should have been there when I came through Church was on fire the Holy Ghost too from the top of my head to the sole of my feet felt the Spirit moving all over me. You should have been there when I came through Church was on fire and the Holy Ghost too from the top of my head to the sole of my feet I felt the Spirit moving all over me. Said I’ve got the river!

If you don’t believe I’ve been redeemed follow me down to the Jordan stream stepped in the water, water was cold chilled my body but not my soul. You don’t believe I’ve been redeemed follow me down to the Jordan stream said I stepped in the water, water was cold chilled my body but not my soul. Say I’ve got the river! Of living water. I’ve got a river. Of living water. I’ve got the river. Of living water. River of living water. Of living water. You should have been there when I came through Church was on fire the Holy Ghost too from the top of my head to the sole of my feet felt the glory all over me. Say you should have been there when I came through Church was on fire and the Holy Ghost too from the top of my head to the sole of my feet said I felt the Spirit moving all over me. Said I’ve got the river! Of living water! I’ve got a river! Of living water! I’ve got the river! Of living water! River of Living water. C’mon put your hands together!      

AUDIENCE:  Whooo! (CLAPPING AND SHOUTING) 

SHAWN: I was just carrying them around hoping I’ll meet the person that it belongs to and they called it and prophesied over a woman on the phone who’s not saved and began to tell her things about her body and pray for healing over her and she came to church that Sunday and I just thought I never thought of it! I’m so stupid! Like I’m so”

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHTER]

SHAWN: My imaginations not big enough for what God wants to do. So God wants to do some crazy stuff and who knows if we call them it’s not going to hurt you. Umm, is there, umm, oh I don’t know, another, maybe it’s another lighting person, Rachel, because I saw a lot of lights. Rachel”

PERSON: That’s our lighting person.

SHAWN: Oh my gosh! So we have two lighting. So this is cool.

PERSON: Let her tell you what she studies in school. Ask her.

SHAWN: What are you studying in school” Oh, you got a mic.

RACHEL: I just finished my second year of my MFA in lighting design. [laughing] 

SHAWN: OH, COME ON! I want to meet with you in the future. Okay. So I saw Peter and there was that time when he was up on the roof and he goes into a trance and in a vision and a sheet comes down.

RACHEL: Um-huh.

SHAWN: And I felt like God was saying that He’s going to give you things to do that are outside of your current box and He’s saying that like He’s bringing that kind of encounter, like a sheet encounter to you to show you something that would be completely that you didn’t know you were prepared to be doing.

RACHEL: I should tell you my last name is Sheets. [laughing]

SHAWN: NO IT’S NOT!

AUDIENCE: [LAUGHING AND CLAPPING]

SHAWN: Come on! That’s amazing! Only God knows our language! He’s so good! So He’s even using your own name as a parable to you!

RACHEL: [LAUGHING]

SHAWN: That He’s going to give you something that’s outside of your box and sort of some of the project’s going to be outside of the box of the current Christianity. I feel like there’s almost like you’re going to teach or do something that’s going to be involved in some live events and you’re going to be involved with some things that have never been done before, have never been thought of before. And I’m seeing like immersive experience around people and I feel like God is saying “get ready” because I’ve such an important and valuable destiny in front of you. You can’t miss it! Go ahead.

RACHEL: Okay. I’m leaving on a year internship that starts July 5th at a theater. My background isn’t in theater.

SHAWN: Oh come on!

RACHEL: But I suddenly I just started doing it and getting this degree and all of this. You know

SHAWN: I’m telling you God’s”

RACHEL: I want some experience!

SHAWN: He is confirming to you and I feel like He is saying thank you for being my friend and listening to me this far. It’s My joy to give you the rest!

RACHEL: [LAUGHING]

SHAWN: Bless you, Rachel Wow! God is so good! Wow!

AUDIENCE: [APPLAUSE] 

SHAWN: Sometimes I have to treasure people and I think that’s why God gives a lot of word association words of knowledge where I’ll see somebody and they remind me of my sister Jennifer and I’m treasuring them like I treasure Jennifer for a moment. Then I’m asking them is your name Jennifer and it is! Or is your wife’s name Jennifer and it is. But I’ve already come to a place of love where I borrowed from the bank of love that I already had towards them. And it just is so beautiful when you can be connected to a person and prophecy grounds us in the moment. You know God is so beautiful. Especially words of knowledge grounds us in the moment! He’s so beautiful because He’s omnipresent but He chooses to come into our time and space and manifest in a moment of connectivity with us. The most beautiful resource we have to give is time! The most beautiful resource heaven has to give is time! So when God comes and brings us into a connected moment, it can happen through worship, it can happen through teaching, it can happen through fellowship but when it happens through prophecy we realize especially through a word of knowledge like when you give a word of knowledge like a birthday to somebody or something of private information to somebody and you ask them is this God” And they all of a sudden feel like the God of all the universe stopped and took a moment out of His time to make me feel special and loved and known. And they are thinking, I’m telling you so many people, especially outside people or in the religious community of the church, and I’m talking about the negative religion, I love the Church but there’s a lot of negative religion where we’ve even we need to deprogram ourselves from religion and program ourselves on love. And I’ve had so many people who are like “but I’ve done all this bad.” I’ve done so much bad how could God want to minister to me right now” And that’s how we’ve been, the state of our heart has been like God is against me. He’s not for me. And prophecy proves that God loves us even though we have all this stuff in our lives. Despite what we’ve chosen, despite what we’ve done prophecy helps us to feel the God who loves us even though when we still have a chance. We still have a chance for full redemption, a life of fullness and He grounds us in those moments throughout our lives. And if you will choose to prophecy, if you will choose to look at the world around you and say I’m going to treasure these people as though they’re the very gift of God, that’s how Jesus saw them! As a matter of fact Jesus saw everybody around Him as if they were the joy set before Him that He was even willing to go to the cross and pay the ultimate price for it! One of the things I encourage people to do before they even try and get words of knowledge or prophecy is start to treasure the people they’re trying to get words of knowledge or prophecy for. Start to fall in love. Start to say God, I choose to love this person. I choose to be present with this person. I chose to be connected to this person whether we’re with prostitutes in red light districts or whether we’re with business people or people in our own church we’re constantly trying to separate ourselves from technology and what we need to eat later and what we need to do in our busy schedule and we’re trying to have a complete moment that’s for that person where we’re saying you are worthy. You are worth my time!

AUDIENCE: Mm.
