I’ll take it I’ll take it whoa whoa whoa
wow you guys are
amazing okay wait stand up stand up I
just want you to know that I sat over
there during worship and I was so aware
of things shifting in the heavenlies and
everything that has been declared during
worship I hope you’re actually really
leaning into that because sometimes you
can hear a message and the person next
to you can hear the same message but you
receive something and the other person
doesn’t it has nothing to do with the
minister it has everything to do with
your position so I want each and every
one of you to get everything that God
has for you so Heavenly Father we come
before you and we have not come for more
information but we have come for
transformation so give us eyes to see
ears to hear a mouth to speak and a
heart to receive and everybody agrees
say amen and
amen I am so honored that I get to be a
grandmother and a godmother at Young
Saints how many people my age usually
get to come to youth conferences that’s
pretty awesome so Pastor Tom mentioned a
book I wrote called kiss the girls and
made them cry I want to ask a question
how many of you know that we are in a
sexual
nightmare okay I’m going to talk to the
balcony okay up there they know that all
right how many of you know that rules do
not solve a
nightmare okay how many you know that
saying there are no rules does not solve
a nightmare you and my little boys or my
boys they’re massive men now when they
were little and they had a nightmare I
did not tell them hey there are no scary
things what I did was I climbed in bed
with them and I told them stories or I
sang songs to them to put back to sleep
what had been awakened in the wrong
Manner and there is a generation that
the enemy has awakened your sexuality in
the realm of lust and God wants to sing
a song over you he wants his present to
put back to sleep what was awakened in
the wrong way I love Zephaniah 3:17 says
Zephaniah 3:17 says the Lord your God is
mighty to save he will rejoice over you
with singing and he will quiet you with
his love this is the story that I wrote
because I didn’t have the Purity story I
had the crazy girl story who happened to
get saved at 21 years of age and I
didn’t find anything that spoke to my
situation I want to do something this is
going to take courage if you are here
and you’re a woman and you are a leader
and you say I want to actually redeem
this area of my past and lead other
girls through this group come on up here
and I’m going to give you the book so
just come on up and you can grab the
book so you want it come get it if
nobody wants it I will just throw it at
somebody okay awesome yeah see you got
to be fast she passed you she passed you
okay and uh I also love this idea of
identity and I love this idea that we
have been
entrusted with a weapon and for too long
we have studied the word of God but the
word of God is not something just to be
studied the word of God is something to
be wielded and how we wield the word of
God is we live it and so I want you to
know that everybody here has been
entrusted with an invincible invisible
Eternal weapon it is the sword of the
spirit it is the word of God and you and
I have been entrusted with this language
of our making and for too long we’ve
studied the sword we’ve argued about the
sword we’ve admired the sword but you’re
going to be a generation that speaks the
sword that uses the sword to set people
free rather than beat them up in jesus’
name so I want to talk to you about who
I believe you are you know Pastor Tom
and Leslie they’re beautiful people
they’re so excited exed about your
generation and Leslie was texting me and
she said I talked to my daughter and my
doctor my daughter thinks that you
should talk about identity and so I took
that into the spirit and I was like God
tell me who I’m going to actually be
talking to because see I’m not just a
mother I’m also a grandmother I’m going
to show a picture of my family really
quick I am a sicilian grandmother which
is why I get to be a godmother I am the
mother of men I have two granddaughters
and two grandsons and because I am a
grandmother I want you to know that what
I see for the next generation is truly
Grand I have this vision for what I see
on the horizon and I know that the
younger generation is going to rise up
into a new day but to position you I’m
going to tell you a ridiculous story so
I get to travel the world a lot I
actually September 2nd I went from
Denver to Japan Japan to Jakarta Jakarta
to Dubai Dubai down to Johannesburg then
back to Dubai then to Dallas and then
Denver did all that in 12 days and I
spoke 10 times because I have such a
sense of urgency of what’s going on but
sometimes I do jet lag better than other
times and I had traveled to Great
Britain on my 50th birthday I came home
and I found myself kind of exhausted and
so when I was Landing in Chicago I told
my husband I don’t want anybody in my
house that I did not give birth to and
he said just come on home I said all I
want to do is brush my teeth and he said
babe just come on home and I’ll put you
to bed but the next morning I felt one
of my sons just standing next to my bed
you know how you used to do that to your
mom you just stand they’re like if I
look at her she will wake and as soon as
I woke up my son was standing there he’s
like I need to go to the doctor and I’m
like what do we okay well you can drive
and he goes like no I need you to go
with me to the doctor well I was worried
that I had broken a rib because I had
before one of my sons wrecked it a ninja
and when you have a sport bike you lay
down on your sport bike and I’d hit a
bump and I was worried I’d broken a rib
or I’d also been to nor way where people
were really strong and they might have
hugged me and broke a rib that way so I
wasn’t sure what was happening but I
knew I had a lot of pain in my side so I
take Austin to the doctor and while the
doctor’s looking at Austin I said can
you check out my rib I think I might
have broke it and he looked at it he was
like no you didn’t break your rib you
have shingles now shingles is an old
person disease Shingles is like oh this
real and so it made me Furious I was
like no I don’t have shingles that’s
ridiculous he said I’m going to ground
you you can’t go anywhere for two weeks
and I thought I’m not telling my husband
this but when I got home you know how
you boys are my son said hey Dad mom’s
got shing shing he thought it was funny
I’m like it is not funny it is painful
and so my husband said that’s it Lisa
you’re in your pajamas for the next 48
hours so I was feeling sorry for myself
because the last thing I ever want to
hear is that I have limits and so I was
moping around the house when when I
discovered that I was not alone the
three older boys had gone out with John
somewhere but my youngest son was still
home we made eye contact he patted the
sofa and he said come on let’s sit down
see you don’t understand why I would be
so excited about that because my
youngest son when my husband would
travel he would sleep in the bed and the
other three boys would sleep on the
floor first thing you would say was I
didn’t kick you did I my youngest son
whenever we would watch a movie he would
cuddle me my youngest son asked me to
marry him
repeatedly but the three older Sons had
shamed him out of the practice they’re
like that’s gross mom’s old stop sitting
next to her don’t sleep in the bed with
her real men push their moms away put
pillows between them and don’t cuddle
them during movies but they were not
there and so I come running over to the
sofa I put my arms around ardan I turn
and look at the television and I said
for the love of Jesus ardan what are we
watching he said we are watching
Terminator now I don’t know if you’ve
ever seen the movie Terminator this was
the first one it is 80s awful it is the
story of Sarah Connor she is a moped
riding waitress and every single day she
goes to Mar calendar and serves pie and
every single night she sat by the phone
hoping that some blind date would call
her that was until Arnold Schwarzenegger
the former Governor of California came
back from the future and he had one goal
in mind and that was to assassinate
everyone with the name Sarah Conor and
it did not look like he would fail
because he had in his possession the
height of 80s data which is a page torn
out of the yellow book and he is
crossing off Sarah’s one by one when
Sarah finds out she might be at risk she
did what a lot of us did in the 80s she
goes out to a bar to hide in the crowd
but Arnold shows up and guns are going
off bad dancing stopping I explained to
my boys this is why your father and I
can’t dance do you see how we were given
options to dance in the early ‘
80s but in the middle of her Assassin
from the future showing up her protector
from the future shows up and he grabs a
hold of Sarah and he says if you want to
live come with me The Lego Movie has
repurposed this to if you want to not
die come with me Sarah was like I want
to not die so she leaves with this
complete stranger they’re driving in a
car Arnold is chasing them in the midst
of all of the chaos her protector from
the future is trying to tell her who she
is he says in the future you’re a hero
in the future we fight with the
strategies you write down for us in the
future your son is our general she’s
like you need to stop right there I
don’t even have a boyfriend let alone a
son this is a horrible case of mistaken
identity but he continues to press her
until she has a meltdown and if you
could see her hair you would understand
why she yells but I haven’t done
anything and that is when her protector
from the future says no but you
will and it was in that moment that I
realized that the enemy of our souls
often knows who we are before we wake up
and realize who we
are and you know what that says to me
that says to me that the attacks on this
generation have much more to do with who
you might be in the future than who you
have been in the past now the enemy will
attack you according to your history
because he does not want you to know
your destiny and I want you to adopt a
sicilian attitude see when I actually go
through a hardship
I get excited I’m like you know what
what is it about me that the enemy finds
so terrifying that he would launch a
full scale Onslaught so you have to
actually flip your attitude about this
because Jesus told us that there would
be Wars Jesus told us there would be
people that would talk bad about us
Jesus told us there would be persecution
but somehow this generation has began to
imagine that they could be heroes
without a war and you cannot be a hero
without a war it is not how many likes
you have on an Instagram post that makes
you a hero it is having done all to
stand you stand therefore and you do not
back off what God has for this
generation I believe that I am standing
in a gathering of Heroes that the enemy
knows who you are but this is a time
period where you’re going to discover
who you really are see we all know who
we’ve
been but only God knows who we are
becoming and the enemy does not want you
to know who you really are he only wants
you to know who you’ve really been so he
will Loop your life back around back
around back around but you have to lean
into everything that has been sung over
you everything that is stirred in your
heart I don’t believe that I have come
here to just make you be nice I believe
that you’re a fierce generation I
believe you are a Fearless generation I
believe you are a kind generation I
believe you are a wise generation and I
love Millennials and I love
genzies because you know why I birth for
of them but I also love them because
they actually know that God has
has his hand on their life for something
significant but here’s the challenge
they have no idea what it is they know
it’s something but they don’t know what
that something is and I think that’s
because God is doing a new thing and you
cannot actually find out the new thing
by looking at everybody else’s thing you
got to lean into the presence of God and
say what is he speaking over me because
we do not find out who we are in the
presence of people we find out who we
are in the presence of God and that is
why there has been such an emphasis on
worship because God can whisper a new
name over your life he can add an
adjective that counteracts somebody
else’s diminishing of you but I want to
tell you how God wants to I want to tell
you how the enemy wants to undermine you
and God wants to position you so I was
in worship and I thought of these things
see if I actually saw the generation
that I see on this earth right now the
first thing I would do if I was Satan is
I would try to distract them I would
have them constantly looking in other
directions I would constantly have them
trapped in comparison I would constantly
have them trapped in this whole idea of
competition I would have them distracted
because I would not want them to
understand who they were
I look at this generation and there’s
often moments they miss I was on a train
in Atlanta and like a famous singer got
on and I recognized the singer and we
started talking to each other and we
exchanged phone numbers and it was
really fun but everybody else was
looking at their phone but I happen to
be looking at someone’s face and God is
saying to this generation put down your
phone and see my face I want you to
behold me behold me not through the pH
not through your audience not while
you’re periscoping that’s not even a
thing anymore not while you’re
Snapchatting not a thing not while
you’re Instagram tving this meeting I
don’t want you to have to filter it for
your audience I want you to sit in the
presence of God and get it for yourself
I want you to get it for yourself then
you can take it back to other people’s I
would distract you and then if I
couldn’t distract you I would diminish
you I would say who Do You Think You Are
are how dare you think that God would
use you in signs and wonders and
miracles have you forgotten about your
past have you forgotten what you did
last week oh I would diminish you I
would say things like nobody in your
family has ever done that what makes you
think it can be different for your
generation what makes you think that
having this opportunity of going to
Young Saints is going to change anything
I would diminish I would trust TR to
shrink you and if I couldn’t distract or
diminish you then I would do the next
thing I would divide you I would divide
you I would divide the genders I would
divide you from the older people that
you would need to learn from I would
divide you from the younger people who
need to learn from you so I want to do
something here at the very beginning I
want to have all the men stand up Don’t
Be Afraid Don’t Be Afraid don’t be
afraid I want to all the men stand up
because there’s an
onslaught against men there’s an attack
against things that are masculine things
that are male our culture is starting to
say things like toxic masculinity is
there toxic masculinity sure but it’s
actually really more toxic men but
there’s also toxic women and so you are
not here as a toxic man you are here as
a son of the most high God and I want to
give you
permission as a grandmother and as a
godmother to be everything that God
created you to be and in this day that
is so confused where people are trying
to blend the genders to heal because
gender has been such an issue of pain
I’m empowering you to get into the
presence of God and allow him to speak
what a real man is and not to allow our
culture to tell you what you have to be
I don’t want you to shrink as a man I
want you to rise as a man I want you to
carry the glory of God on your life in
jesus’ name amen all right guys you can
sit down and I’m going to get all the
women to stand
up I love this just going to do it at
the very
front God created woman as the answer
to the very first problem and that very
first problem was it is not good for man
to be alone but our culture will try to
get the women to imagine that they are
not an answer and the man is their
problem I’m not going to tell you that
there is not problems in our culture
because there are problems in our
culture but the man is not your answer
nor is he your problem God is your
answer and we are women who
understand that we do not get our value
by taking it from the men we get our
value by taking it from God so women be
the answer that God created you to be
God needs your wisdom God needs your
strength God needs male and female
because male and female are a power
Union not a power struggle in jesus’
name you guys can sit
down oh I divide the genders that’s what
I do I would have the men say the women
are a problem to be
controlled I’d have the women say men
it’s our turn now God never deals in
turns he deals in times God never pushes
one aside to lift one up he lifts all up
together that’s what he does and as we
lift up Jesus Jesus draws everybody to
himself so I want you to know there is
an attack on your destiny and the worst
the attack you actually need to say all
right all right I’m going to take it as
a compliment because the enemy will
often attack you in the area of your
anointing and so you need to look at
what he’s after and then figure out what
the counteraction of that is aw toer one
of my favorite people to read this is
one of my favorite quotes of his this is
what he says he said we can be in our
day what The Heroes of Faith were in
their day but remember at the time they
did didn’t know they were Heroes see I
don’t think you understand only time
tells the story of a hero you can look
at Hebrews 11 and we are talking about
Sarah I said they’re preaching about
Sarah because because I’m here but that
we are talking about Sarah and she
laughed at the promise of God but soon
she named a son Isaac which means
laughter and joy and strength and there
be may be things that God will whisper
into your spirit that you will just
laugh at you’re like that is ridiculous
that’s how I felt about it when God
began to whisper Wonder into my life but
God is the one who will do it so I
believe that you are some Heroes unaware
so I mentioned already with your
generation I often think that you guys
are like Samuel you’re like the Samuel
generation and you see the story of
Samuel and God said to Samuel
in I’m going to read 1st Samuel 3:11
listen carefully I’m getting ready to do
something in Israel that is going to
shake everyone up and get their
attention do we believe that God knows
how to get the world’s attention do we
believe that God can do that something
see he didn’t even put words around it
because there was no frame of reference
for what he was getting ready to do you
know I’ve had the honor and the
privilege of traveling and speaking all
over the world I never take it lightly
that I have influence or position and I
get to stand on a platform but the truth
is I am hungry for something more than
what I have seen I did not become a
Christian to be a speaker I did not
become a Christian to become an author I
became a Christian because I had an
encounter with the mercy and the power
of God and as soon as I had an encounter
with the mercy and the power of God I
made a commitment that the rest of my
life would be given to proclaiming that
so I believe that God is saying come on
young Saints listen carefully not just
to what you hear here but what you hear
here what you hear in worship what you
hear cuz see God will actually have a
speaker say something that will unlock
something else inside of you and you’ll
hear something that something that’s
never been done before that something
that has never been seen before God will
unlock that in your spirit and I need
you to dare to believe it I need you to
write it down he is saying listen
carefully because I’m getting ready to
do something in the earth and this
something is going to shake things up
and get the world’s attention in a
season of darkness in the time of Eli
when it says the word of the Lord was
rare rare and that the lights had almost
gone out and Eli is not restraining his
sons God has a young man in the shadows
that he is raising up to hear his voice
and I love how Samuel describes it in
1st Samuel
2:26 while this nonsense is going on
but the boy Samuel was very much alive
growing up blessed by God and popular
with the people I’m going to rephrase
that for you but in the mess of this
world the young Saints are very much
alive growing up blessed by God and
popular with the people some people say
well I I don’t think I’m supposed to be
popular well it another way of saying
that is that Jesus grew in wisdom and
stature and faith favor with God and man
I believe the young Saints are going to
grow in wisdom stature and favor with
God and man and because I believe that
I’m going to give you a warning Matthew
10:26 I’m going to read out of the
message don’t be
intimidated don’t be intimidated
intimidation will shut down the gift of
God on your life don’t be intimidated
eventually everything is going to be out
in the open and everyone will know how
things really are so don’t hesitate to
go public now don’t be bluffed into
Silence by the threats of bullies there
is nothing they can do to your soul your
core being save your fear for God who
holds your entire life body and soul in
his hands bullies want to silence you
they want the gift of God on your life
to shrink they want you to not prophesy
they want you not to speak the word they
want you not to live the word they want
to Bluff you into silence don’t do it
just begin to Echo the words of of
Heaven just go ahead and go public now
so I want to talk to you about what I
think are some of the things that we
need to do if we’re going to go public
first of all I’m just going to give a
confession my favorite book in the Old
Testament is the book of Isaiah he’s my
absolute favorite Prophet to read I feel
like it is poetry and so whenever I
think about the prophetic I’m going to
always think about Isaiah because I
don’t want to think about somebody
laying on their side for three years and
then having to turn over for another
three years and eating food cooked over
poop that sounds disgusting so I like
Isaiah and Isaiah
describes the kind of people we need to
be Isaiah 49:18 says look up look around
look well what does it mean to look up
it means that heaven has a strategy what
do we pray thy kingdom come thy will be
done we don’t look around to get the
strategies we look up to get the
strategies and Heaven is cheering us on
Heaven is not worried that the
Millennials are too engaged with that or
not engaged enough with that or the
genes are not doing this Heaven is
saying I planted this generation in this
time in this season but they need to
stop looking at one another and they
need to look look up look up God is
looking for a people who will look up
and see what he is doing we’re talking
about beholding God what are you doing
in all of this and once we have God’s
perspective because you need to have
God’s perspective before you look around
see when we look up we get the
perspective of the father what did Jesus
say he said I don’t do anything unless I
see my father doing it you see the
father doing things the Holy Spirit
reveals what Jesus wants to happen on
the earth we look up then we look around
we look around what do we see we see
hurting people we see people who need
Jesus when we look around everywhere we
go we see needs look around look at the
time you wonder what you’re called to do
look around look around and then it says
look well see my husband and I have a
good marriage but we don’t have a
perfect marriage but I would say we’ve
done marriage well what is the
difference there we’ve taken it to a
place of unhealthy to healthy God is
asking us look up look around how do you
bring Health to that how do you bring
wholeness to that how do you bring
healing to that what do you pray what do
you say what do you do because that’s
what we need to do as a prophetic people
and then Romans 9:29 says that Isaiah
looked ahead and he spoke the truth we
need to be people who are farsighted and
we need to speak truth into the future
God shows us who we will be by revealing
who he is and we have a whole generation
trying to discover what they’re called
to do when they don’t even know the one
who they are you will never know what
you are called to do until you know who
you are and you will never know who you
are until you know whose you are and I
love that I was introduced with this
concept of Abraham and Sarah because
Abraham and Sarah were pretty messed up
now come on I’m not trying to be mean
but Abraham was having his wife lie and
say say you’re my sister just say you’re
my sister I don’t want these people
hurting me so that’s pretty like hey
that’s messed up and then Sarah like hey
take my handmaid and have a baby with
her that’s messed up I would never do
that with my husband I’d be like hey
yeah take this no and then she gets
upset when the woman gets pregnant and
beats her that’s crazy so Sarah’s messed
up Abraham’s messed up there’s a bunch
of mess up and there’s a lot of people
in our lineage of Faith who have made
mistakes but making a mistake does not
make you mistake and if you think that
you are mistaken God is always about
Redeeming the mistakes so God will let
us actually kind of come to a place
where we’re ridiculous and then we cry
out for him Romans 4:17 says we call
Abraham father not because he got God’s
attention by living like a saint but
because God made something out of
Abraham when he was
nobody God is asking actually just
asking a generation to let him make
something out of our nothing you know
when I got saved at 21 years of age I
didn’t even know a scripture and I
remember going back to my college
dormatory and I said God I don’t have
anything I have no goodness I have no
Christianity I have no Holiness I have
no virtue but I will give you my nothing
completely and God will start with your
nothing because he is the god that makes
something out of nothing but when we
think we are something then sometimes he
has to bring us back to the nothing Zone
you know there’s a conference I always
love to go and do and be part of the
people there and uh I would go on a
regular basis and and then one year year
uh they were announcing the next year I
was speaking that year and they were
announcing the next year’s speaker and
um I Heard the Holy Spirit say you will
not be back here for three years and I
said no no I come every other year
that’s not that’s not you God and and
and you know what I got home it was
three years and I said God why wouldn’t
you have me come back every other year
he said because you’ve become so much
like them you have nothing to offer them
and he said I’m going to take you into a
season
of alone he said I’m going to take you
into a season where it’s just you and me
and you can decide whether that’s lonely
or you can decide whether that is alone
you can decide whether I’m enough during
that season and you can sit down and
describe the things that I give you or
you can feel sorry for yourself because
you’re feeling left out being alone with
God is one of the greatest invitations
you will ever receive and in that season
of alone I put my head down and I wrote
girls with swords and when the book came
out then I came back there is something
onside inside of you that will not come
unless you take the time to be
alone and I know that’s hard and I know
that can feel awkward but alone is so
important because when you’re alone with
God he does things he can never do when
you are surrounded by a
crowd I was also sitting here and I I
had such a memory of uh doing a youth
Gathering a number of years ago and I
found it always funny to talk about
Jesus’s first miracle you all know
Jesus’s first miracle he’s at a wedding
his mother comes to him and says they’re
out of wine and what does Jesus say what
does he say do you guys know cuz my boys
used to always say it to me he said
woman woman is not my time and my boys
would call me woman and they say Jesus
calls his mom woman I’m like you’re not
Jesus so you better not call me woman
but that’s what he did she’s like hey
they’re out of wine and he’s like woman
it’s not my time but you know what
Mary’s not Sicilian Mary’s like okay
feel like that was disrespectful but I’m
you’re the Son of God so I’m not going
to argue with you
what does she do she turns to the
servants and she say whatever he tells
you to do do it now if I had been there
I would have said hey hey hey hey you
button your lip you don’t talk to me
like that you don’t call me woman there
would have been a scene there would have
been no Miracles you guys would not be
reading about it but Mary had an
awareness of something that actually
Jesus wasn’t even aware of
it was time and when a mother says it’s
time it’s time see when I gave birth to
my first baby I well it’s kind of a joke
I like never went into labor I’d
probably still be pregnant so they had
to like induce me and they’re like okay
we’re just going to pull a baby out
that’s horrible and that it was horrible
but then my second baby I remember I was
waiting for the kind of pain that I’d
had in my first labor and I’m just at
home pushing my firstborn son on the
swing and I’m like hey this is weird
kind of feels like something wants to
come out every 5 minutes kind of just
feels like maybe something wants to
leave my body I’m not sure what’s going
on so basically I only got to the
hospital 20 minutes before I had my son
and when I walked in I was like hey I
need I need I need an epidural they’re
like ma’am all the examining rooms are
full I said I don’t need to be examined
I need to to be delivered and they’re
like you need to calm down is this your
first baby I said this is not my first
baby this is my second baby and as soon
as I said it was my second everybody
went into high alert why because before
you’ve had a baby you don’t know when
it’s time but once you’ve given birth to
a child you know when it’s time and I am
standing in front of you as a mother and
I am saying to you it is time for for
you to do whatever he tells you to do
whatever he tells you to do I need you
to do it don’t argue about whether you
think the timing is right if God is
speaking to you I need you to do it it’s
time I need that thing that is on your
life to come forth I am standing him as
a mother in the house of God and I am
blessing the gift of God that is on your
life and I I am saying come forth gift
of God in jesus’
name Luke
418 this is Jesus I I I love the message
and I just can capture Jesus’s attitude
here Jesus gets up reads the scroll he’s
like in a you know very stayed setting
and he says God’s spirit is on me he has
chosen me to preach the message of good
news to the poor sent me to announce
pardon to prisoners and recovery of
sight to the blind to set the burden and
battered free and to announce this is
God’s year to act he rolled up the
scroll handed it back to the assistant
and sat down and every eye in the place
was on him intent and Jesus is just kind
of sitting there and then he goes on and
he said you just heard scripture make
history it came true just now in this
place well it is time for you to say
this is God’s year to act because I
believe it is always God’s time to set
the captives free I believe it is always
God’s time to preach the good news of
the Gospel I believe it is always God
time to recover the sight of the blind
this is our season to make history it is
time that the scriptures come alive in
your life and you use them to make
history it is my prayer that over the
span of this conference everything that
is released will be activated and come
alive that faith will rise where you
have thought it is too late I am too
young I have been too bad or it’s too
hard that you will actually have an
awareness that you are not made for a
season of comfort you are made for this
season of strength you were made for
this season of hardship Hebrews 11:33
says through acts of faith not through
thoughts of Faith through acts of faith
they toppled kingdoms made Justice work
and took the promises for themselves we
need a generation of action heroes not
just thought Heroes not just virtual
Heroes we need action heroes because as
you act God will follow up what you do
with the power of His spirit so we’re
going to actually close up with this and
then I believe that God wants to do a
couple of things Ministry wise if we’re
going to be action heroes then we need
to understand what it means to be brave
rth wo Emerson said this quote a hero is
no braver than an ordinary man but he is
braver five minutes
longer sometimes just you have to
outlast your
opponent sometimes the truth of your
life will outlive the LIE sometimes you
just have to be five minutes longer you
just have to be quiet 5 minutes longer
you just have to speak up maybe five
minutes longer but just five minutes
longer can make the difference on
everything Ephesians 610 I’m going to
read all of it and it’s a big passage
Ephesians 610 I’m going to read it from
the message it says and that’s about
wraps it up God is strong and he wants
you strong so take everything the master
has set out for you you well-made
weapons of the best material and put
them to use so you will be able to stand
up to everything the devil throws your
way this is no afternoon athletic
contest that we will walk away from and
forget about in a couple hours this is
for Keeps a life or death fight to the
Finish against the devil and All His
angels be prepared you’re up against far
more than you can handle on your own
take all the help you can get every
weapon God has issued so that when it’s
all over but the shouting you will still
be on your feet truth righteousness
peace faith and salvation are more than
words they’re apps learn how to apply
them you’ll need them throughout your
life God’s word is an indispensable
weapon in the same way prayer is
essential in this ongoing Warfare pray
hard and long pray for your brothers and
sisters sister keep your eyes open keep
each other’s Spirit up so that no one
falls behind or drops out as long as we
walk this Earth there will be
war and I believe that
Christianity is a battle not a dream and
if you and I are going to be brave
enough to dream we’re going to have to
be brave enough to fight as long as we
walk here the enemy is going to forge
weapons s but we also have the promise
that there is no weapon that is forged
against us that can prosper because God
knows every single weapon that the enemy
forges and this list in Ephesians 6 is
all of the counter weapons to the
enemy’s weapon so I want to know are any
of you here and you’ve had a hard time
the last year has been hard for you will
you wave at me okay awesome I want to
tell you what a struggle is a struggle
is strengthening a struggle builds
muscles in your life that nothing else
will build and you are here because God
is positioning you for breakthrough
because what you went through last year
didn’t break you God is going to give
you breakthrough after breakthrough
after
[Applause]
breakthrough so I want to do a couple
things I want to
know the attacks against your life have
they made you shrink because if up to
this point they’ve made you draw back or
they’ve made you shrink or they’ve made
you afraid I understand but no more you
know I lost my right eye to cancer when
I was five years of age I got out of
speech I got out of debate because I
never wanted to do do what I’m doing
right now getting up in front of more
than two people was the most terrifying
idea I could ever have but see God is
positioning a generation to face what
they fear because when you face what you
fear you become Fearless God is setting
you up to go from breakthrough to
breakthrough God is setting you up to go
from Victory to Victory so I want you to
stand to your
feet and I want to challenge you to give
God permission to do a reset some of you
are here and you’ve made mistakes and
you think that those mistakes and those
missteps are the things that are going
to hold you back God is going to redeem
those mistakes some of you I mentioned
earlier there’s been a sexual Nightmare
and maybe you’ve made horrible choices
listen I can’t give you back your
virginity but I can give you back your
virtue and virtue is is the power of God
to be able to stand and you have every
right to take back your strength in that
area the enemy cannot condemn you
anymore and just because you said yes in
the past doesn’t mean you can’t say no
in the future we are a generation where
the enemy is Whispering Lies Over You
he’s saying you have no self-control
he’s saying you have no strength he is
saying you’ll not make intimate
connections well he is a liar I believe
that you are strong I believe that you
will be connected in community that you
will not be satisfied with a virtual
community but that you will go deeper
into an actual Community I believe that
God is having a Revival among you and
this is the time and you are the
carriers so I’m going to call forth the
timing over your life and then as a
mother I’m going to believe that God is
going to from the front to the back to
side to side wash away your shame
wash away your guilt wash away any
condemnation that you can rise up and
understand that his Mercy is new every
single morning and that God has a
mandate on your life that has really
nothing to do with your mistakes and
everything to do with his faithfulness
so I want you to lift up your hands and
say heavenly
father I am a child of
Abraham I am a young
Saint I am a target of the eny
but long before the
enemy targeted
me I was chosen by you I was chosen for
this moment I was chos and the attacks
on my life the attacks on my life that
have been in my past my past will be
strength for my future streng for my I
will not allow my past I will not allow
my to dictate dictate my future my
future so I’m going to lean in
to everything God has for
me God I give you my
nothing I call myself nobody call call
me forth as everything call I want to be
that
saint that consecrated one that anointed
one I am not content with what I have
seen or what I have been so anoint me
with this something
more turn my water turn my into wine
into it’s time it’s it’s time it’s time
I’m speaking to the gift of God in your
life and I’m commanding that gift of God
to come forth I’m speaking to that gift
of God that is in seed forward I’m
speaking to that gift of God that has
been covered by a spirit of
discouragement I’m speaking against that
spirit of suicide because see if the
enemy can’t diminish he can’t distract
he can’t divide divide he will destroy
and there is a reason he is after this
generation it is because he is afraid of
you he is afraid you will wake up and
realize who you really are he is afraid
to open up the word of God and allow the
word of God to transform you into your
real image he wants you to look into the
fake mirrors of what you have and what
you’ve done and what people have said
but God is releasing his Divine Vision
over your life so father I thank you
that you give them a vision that they
can behold and become in jesus’ name
amen and amen you are heroes you are
heroes you may be unaware but you are
heroes in jesus’ name amen and
[Music]
amen
