00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.020
Let's have a session, an intentional meeting.

00:00:02.100 --> 00:00:05.440
It's an appointment to go in behind that veil

00:00:05.440 --> 00:00:08.380
that was torn into the very presence of God and

00:00:08.380 --> 00:00:12.720
meet with him. And the beautiful thing is that's

00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.800
the place where we can just enter into his presence

00:00:15.800 --> 00:00:20.420
and the very deepest places of our heart find

00:00:20.420 --> 00:00:32.079
what we are longing for. God promises in Joel

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.640
2 .28 to pour out His Spirit on all humanity.

00:00:36.299 --> 00:00:39.380
Welcome to Global Outpouring, where we contend

00:00:39.380 --> 00:00:42.240
for that promised outpouring, and we equip for

00:00:42.240 --> 00:00:45.799
that outpouring so that we may engage in that

00:00:45.799 --> 00:00:49.200
very outpouring. I'm Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon

00:00:49.200 --> 00:00:51.479
Buss. Welcome to the podcast today. We're so

00:00:51.479 --> 00:00:54.460

they formed the musical worship group called

00:01:01.420 --> 00:01:03.979
Three O 'Clock Session. And we're going to talk

00:01:03.979 --> 00:01:07.060

That's wonderful. That's wonderful. The Lord

00:03:25.210 --> 00:03:27.789
really has connected us in such a beautiful way.

00:03:28.110 --> 00:03:32.090
We heard you a little bit on probably YouTube

00:03:32.090 --> 00:03:35.310
or someplace watching some other kinds of events

00:03:35.310 --> 00:03:39.800
that we were taking in online. And then we met

00:03:39.800 --> 00:03:43.960
you in Peru, I think it was. Not Peru the nation,

00:03:44.180 --> 00:03:48.039
but Peru, Illinois. Yeah. It was in the shopping

00:03:48.039 --> 00:03:51.479
mall. Yes. Yes. During COVID when you weren't

00:03:51.479 --> 00:03:53.099
supposed to be doing anything and we were doing

00:03:53.099 --> 00:03:56.280
it anyway. Hallelujah. It was beautiful. It was

00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.479
a beautiful event. And we were delighted to get

00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.400
acquainted with you a little bit. And then you

00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:03.580
came to our convention last year. It was such

00:04:03.580 --> 00:04:05.699
a blessing to have you. And we're looking forward

00:04:05.699 --> 00:04:08.840
to having you at this convention too. Amen. Thank

00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:11.240
you. It was it was a joy to be with you guys

00:04:11.240 --> 00:04:13.379
last year and we're looking forward as well.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:18.319
Yes, we're excited. So do you like this is going

00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.519
to be a different convention than last year because

00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.560
we're meeting in a hotel. We're expecting more

00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.980
people. Not a lot of people decide to make the

00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:29.879
trip all the way to Jasper, Arkansas and beyond,

00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.819
you know, out into the boonies where, you know,

00:04:33.819 --> 00:04:36.009
there's just not. a whole lot of stuff going

00:04:36.009 --> 00:04:39.089
on, beautiful Ozark Mountains. Yeah, and they

00:04:39.089 --> 00:04:42.550
stay down in our valley with our 1 ,000 -foot

00:04:42.550 --> 00:04:46.170
drop road, which is, I remember somebody once

00:04:46.170 --> 00:04:48.269
going up the hill, they said, I put a faith tape

00:04:48.269 --> 00:04:51.769
in when I go up the hill. Yeah. Put in Kenneth

00:04:51.769 --> 00:04:56.810
Hagin going up the hill. Right. Yeah. So what

00:04:56.810 --> 00:05:00.250
was your impression of being together this last

00:05:00.250 --> 00:05:03.379
year? Did you have any takeaways? I sure did.

00:05:03.500 --> 00:05:08.000
It was profound to be at Angletall where Gwen

00:05:08.000 --> 00:05:10.420
Shaw and everything, so much history and the

00:05:10.420 --> 00:05:13.939
community that was there. I had known about the

00:05:13.939 --> 00:05:16.939
history of Global Outpouring and End Time Handmaidens.

00:05:16.980 --> 00:05:19.259
I knew a little bit about it before we were there

00:05:19.259 --> 00:05:22.839
and before you gave us the invitation. So it

00:05:22.839 --> 00:05:26.839
was extraordinary to be there and to meet so

00:05:26.839 --> 00:05:29.779
many lovely people that are part of the ministry.

00:05:30.589 --> 00:05:33.050
And to share that time together, it was profound.

00:05:33.790 --> 00:05:36.129
And I would just add to that, you put together

00:05:36.129 --> 00:05:38.730
a strong line of speakers, but there was also

00:05:38.730 --> 00:05:41.730
an interesting dynamic, something very special

00:05:41.730 --> 00:05:45.029
that happens when you combine the solid teaching

00:05:45.029 --> 00:05:48.569
with a heart of worship, a collective heart of

00:05:48.569 --> 00:05:52.170
worship with intercession. And there were intercessors

00:05:52.170 --> 00:05:54.709
there. And that was just a real highlight for

00:05:54.709 --> 00:06:01.329
us, seeing all of that come together. The community

00:06:01.329 --> 00:06:06.149
was pressing in and interceding, and our role

00:06:06.149 --> 00:06:09.089
at some points was just to almost provide a soundtrack

00:06:09.089 --> 00:06:12.750
for intercession. Well, and you did it so well.

00:06:13.149 --> 00:06:15.769
That was one of the reasons why we invited you,

00:06:15.829 --> 00:06:20.629
was to bring that weight of glory that you carry

00:06:20.629 --> 00:06:24.769
in the music. It's very weighty. Your anointing

00:06:24.769 --> 00:06:29.339
is weighty with the glory. to bring that into

00:06:29.339 --> 00:06:32.819
the mix, shall we say, of worship and intercession

00:06:32.819 --> 00:06:36.519
together. Like we do this. This prayer time before

00:06:36.519 --> 00:06:39.620
we start the meetings, that's what it is. We

00:06:39.620 --> 00:06:43.100
put up flags and in this venue that we're going

00:06:43.100 --> 00:06:46.139
to, we'll have room for more flags. We'll have

00:06:46.139 --> 00:06:48.959
more representation of the nations that members

00:06:48.959 --> 00:06:51.040
of this ministry have gone to and ministered

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:53.899
in. And it's a time when people connect with

00:06:53.899 --> 00:06:57.779
God in intercession and particularly for the

00:06:57.779 --> 00:07:01.620
nations. And when you have that weight of the

00:07:01.620 --> 00:07:05.720
glory in You know, the presence of God, just

00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.259
the weightiness. I can't think of any other word

00:07:08.259 --> 00:07:11.959
to use. It's the presence of the Lord is just

00:07:11.959 --> 00:07:15.079
so there. And they feed off of each other. The

00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:17.939
intercession and the worship feed together into

00:07:17.939 --> 00:07:21.899
this atmosphere of the glory and the presence

00:07:21.899 --> 00:07:24.939
of God. And that was really why we invited you,

00:07:25.019 --> 00:07:28.100
because we knew that that was going to be what

00:07:28.100 --> 00:07:33.980
we needed. We love to be. leaders of worshipers.

00:07:34.019 --> 00:07:39.279
Amen. For many beautiful worshipers there. And

00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:43.579
as we were worshiping in his glory, it was so

00:07:43.579 --> 00:07:46.819
amazing to see different ones going to different

00:07:46.819 --> 00:07:49.540
flags, different countries around the world that

00:07:49.540 --> 00:07:53.220
they were interceding for. And so we'll never

00:07:53.220 --> 00:07:56.120
know fully all that was accomplished. Someday

00:07:56.120 --> 00:08:00.889
we will. Yes. But there was just a knowing. that

00:08:00.889 --> 00:08:03.810
there was a lot being accomplished as we were

00:08:03.810 --> 00:08:07.029
worshiping him and interceding. And there was

00:08:07.029 --> 00:08:09.550
one lady that came up to us afterward and she

00:08:09.550 --> 00:08:12.810
said, you know, during the worship, she said,

00:08:12.829 --> 00:08:16.589
I felt like the Lord gave me a download. I had

00:08:16.589 --> 00:08:20.610
been praying specifically for strategy for each

00:08:20.610 --> 00:08:23.250
of people group. And she said it was right during

00:08:23.250 --> 00:08:25.970
worship. Nobody said a word to me. But it was

00:08:25.970 --> 00:08:28.529
just a sense of what the Lord was speaking directly

00:08:28.529 --> 00:08:32.950
to me with very specific direction for how to

00:08:32.950 --> 00:08:34.830
reach this people group that's been on our heart

00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:37.289
for a long time. So, you know, those are the

00:08:37.289 --> 00:08:39.429
kinds of things you don't put that into your

00:08:39.429 --> 00:08:44.090
set list when you're planning. You just enter

00:08:44.090 --> 00:08:46.409
in and the Lord does things that go way beyond

00:08:46.409 --> 00:08:51.429
us. Amen. Absolutely. So how did you get started

00:08:51.429 --> 00:08:56.409
in this ministry of worship? Well, Dave and I

00:08:56.409 --> 00:08:58.950
have always been involved in music. And then

00:08:58.950 --> 00:09:03.269
when we got married down the road, we started

00:09:03.269 --> 00:09:06.169
being a part of a worship team at our church.

00:09:06.570 --> 00:09:10.470
But Wes was very little at that point. But as

00:09:10.470 --> 00:09:15.210
we progressed, there was a season where the church

00:09:15.210 --> 00:09:19.190
that we were going to had a healing prayer ministry

00:09:19.190 --> 00:09:25.480
that we were asked to lead worship during. And

00:09:25.480 --> 00:09:28.460
it was like three hours where they would have

00:09:28.460 --> 00:09:30.320
groups of people that were being prayed over

00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:33.379
and we would provide worship for three hours.

00:09:33.659 --> 00:09:37.460
Wow. Three hours. That's kind of when that was

00:09:37.460 --> 00:09:39.820
Dave and I and Wes was still pretty little during

00:09:39.820 --> 00:09:43.539
that time. But as he got older, then he felt

00:09:43.539 --> 00:09:47.340
led to be a part of what we do. And we felt led

00:09:47.340 --> 00:09:50.649
for him to be a part of what we do. Sure. That's

00:09:50.649 --> 00:09:53.169
kind of where it was birthed. Then the Lord gave

00:09:53.169 --> 00:09:56.269
us the name Three O 'Clock Session one Sunday

00:09:56.269 --> 00:10:01.269
morning, even before church. It was confirmed

00:10:01.269 --> 00:10:05.309
in a very, very special way that morning at church.

00:10:06.450 --> 00:10:09.889
We didn't use that name for a long time, but

00:10:09.889 --> 00:10:12.190
there was a time when the Lord said, it's time

00:10:12.190 --> 00:10:16.049
to use your name, and it's time to move forward

00:10:16.049 --> 00:10:19.659
with Three O 'Clock Session. And this is a perfect

00:10:19.659 --> 00:10:22.159
time to also tie in, you know, Good Friday coming

00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:26.759
up here just very soon. And at Good Friday, three

00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:30.639
o 'clock in the afternoon is when Jesus said

00:10:30.639 --> 00:10:34.759
from the cross, it is finished. He gave up his

00:10:34.759 --> 00:10:37.320
spirit. But precisely when that was happening,

00:10:37.539 --> 00:10:41.639
the veil in the temple was torn supernaturally

00:10:41.639 --> 00:10:45.059
from top to bottom. It was a very thick curtain.

00:10:48.330 --> 00:10:51.029
prohibiting the common man from entering into

00:10:51.029 --> 00:10:52.970
the Holy of Holies. Only the high priest could

00:10:52.970 --> 00:10:56.970
go and only once a year. But Jesus paid the price

00:10:56.970 --> 00:11:01.250
for the common man who calls upon him and receives

00:11:01.250 --> 00:11:04.769
salvation through Christ to have access into

00:11:04.769 --> 00:11:09.230
the very holy presence of God Almighty. So that's

00:11:09.230 --> 00:11:11.509
our heartbeat. That's our heartbeat. And that's

00:11:11.509 --> 00:11:14.830
the glory of God. You know, you think of the

00:11:14.830 --> 00:11:17.590
Ark of the Covenant. That was... behind the curtain.

00:11:17.710 --> 00:11:20.570
And that was the glory of God there. And so to

00:11:20.570 --> 00:11:23.730
have access because of Jesus being the final

00:11:23.730 --> 00:11:26.789
sacrifice. Yeah. So that's what we want our ministry

00:11:26.789 --> 00:11:30.049
to be all about is God's presence and his glory.

00:11:30.389 --> 00:11:34.169
And it is. Absolutely. Isn't that the time of

00:11:34.169 --> 00:11:37.009
the evening sacrifice? Yes, I think it is. Yes.

00:11:38.129 --> 00:11:41.830
While Jesus was offering the ultimate sacrifice

00:11:41.830 --> 00:11:47.210
on the cross over near the temple, The sacrifice

00:11:47.210 --> 00:11:50.070
was being offered as it had been for hundreds

00:11:50.070 --> 00:11:53.070
of years. And there was that perfect parallel.

00:11:53.230 --> 00:11:55.610
God doesn't miss a detail. It's three o 'clock,

00:11:55.629 --> 00:11:59.830
three o 'clock. And the session part is there's

00:11:59.830 --> 00:12:03.269
musical sessions. I work as a therapist, so there's

00:12:03.269 --> 00:12:07.049
therapy sessions. But we want the ultimate session

00:12:07.049 --> 00:12:10.389
is a session with the King of Kings, the Lord

00:12:10.389 --> 00:12:14.070
of Lords, the wonderful counselor. Yes. Because

00:12:14.070 --> 00:12:17.759
everything. All things are possible with him,

00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:22.200
and in his presence, miracles take place. Amen.

00:12:22.259 --> 00:12:27.500
Amen. I'm reminded of years ago, we used to have

00:12:27.500 --> 00:12:31.240
a billboard that our ministry had put up in a

00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:33.340
couple of places, and it said, you have an appointment

00:12:33.340 --> 00:12:36.659
with God. Yes. Yeah, that's good. Right. And

00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:40.519
that's kind of what we, in the word session,

00:12:40.759 --> 00:12:44.440
it's an intentional meeting. Let's have a session,

00:12:44.500 --> 00:12:47.100
an intentional meeting. It's an appointment to

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:50.740
go in behind that veil that was torn into the

00:12:50.740 --> 00:12:54.000
very presence of God and meet with him. And the

00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:57.240
beautiful thing is that's the place where we

00:12:57.240 --> 00:13:00.759
can just, we can enter into his presence and

00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:05.299
the very deepest places of our heart find what

00:13:05.299 --> 00:13:09.360
we are longing for. And that is the beauty of

00:13:09.360 --> 00:13:13.019
really the Easter message started. with access

00:13:13.019 --> 00:13:16.440
into God's presence when Jesus said it is finished.

00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:20.259
The Greek word to telestai, paid in full. It's

00:13:20.259 --> 00:13:23.100
an accounting term. It means it's like a rubber

00:13:23.100 --> 00:13:25.840
stamp that says you're done. Your sins have been

00:13:25.840 --> 00:13:27.899
canceled out. They have been paid for in full.

00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:32.899
Now you can enter. Now you can come in to the

00:13:32.899 --> 00:13:35.960
fullness of the presence of God. So let's have

00:13:35.960 --> 00:13:38.460
an intentional meeting, an appointment. with

00:13:38.460 --> 00:13:40.679
our wonderful counselor that I was talking about.

00:13:40.740 --> 00:13:43.320
Yeah, body, soul, and spirit. We know that salvation

00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:47.600
means for body, the soul, and the spirit. So

00:13:47.600 --> 00:13:52.679
it's all inclusive. Yes. Yes. Amen. Absolutely.

00:13:52.840 --> 00:13:56.179
That reminds me too of, I'm not exactly sure

00:13:56.179 --> 00:13:59.139
of the pronunciation, but the word shalom comes

00:13:59.139 --> 00:14:02.759
from, and we know that means peace and it means

00:14:02.759 --> 00:14:05.539
nothing's missing and nothing's broken, but it

00:14:05.539 --> 00:14:08.659
comes from a root word. And I think it's Shalem

00:14:08.659 --> 00:14:12.039
or Shalom. I'm sorry, I don't know the exact

00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.639
words because I wasn't looking to say this, but

00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:20.120
it also means paid in full. So the root of peace

00:14:20.120 --> 00:14:23.320
is the fact that it's been paid in full. Beautiful.

00:14:23.879 --> 00:14:26.340
And that the whole thing is paid in full. And

00:14:26.340 --> 00:14:29.960
there's another word that Paul uses in, I think

00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:33.460
it's 1 Thessalonians 5, somewhere around verse

00:14:33.460 --> 00:14:36.779
20 or 21, where it talks about that your whole

00:14:36.779 --> 00:14:40.139
spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless.

00:14:40.379 --> 00:14:46.009
And that word whole there is holocleros. And

00:14:46.009 --> 00:14:49.289
it comes from two Greek words, olos and kleros.

00:14:49.429 --> 00:14:53.990
And olos means whole. And kleros, I think, means

00:14:53.990 --> 00:14:57.629
having all its parts. So it's whole having all

00:14:57.629 --> 00:15:00.990
its parts. So your whole spirit, soul and body

00:15:00.990 --> 00:15:03.970
is preserved blameless. And it has the idea that

00:15:03.970 --> 00:15:07.210
everything that's supposed to be there is there.

00:15:07.289 --> 00:15:10.049
Even if at one point it was lost, it's been restored.

00:15:10.590 --> 00:15:13.710
Beautiful. Yeah, that's what having a session

00:15:13.710 --> 00:15:16.230
with the Lord is all about. It's the restoration,

00:15:16.549 --> 00:15:18.470
you know. And it's a process. It's not like it

00:15:18.470 --> 00:15:21.309
happens overnight. But a big thing happens when

00:15:21.309 --> 00:15:24.210
you first get born again, you know. I don't know

00:15:24.210 --> 00:15:27.090
why some people get more than others, but, you

00:15:27.090 --> 00:15:29.970
know, it's the start of a walk. Yeah. It's the

00:15:29.970 --> 00:15:33.330
start of a lifestyle. Yeah. A history with God.

00:15:33.750 --> 00:15:36.610
Yeah. You know, it's also, it's really interesting.

00:15:37.009 --> 00:15:40.399
I've done some studying on... the presence of

00:15:40.399 --> 00:15:43.860
God. And so many things happen in the presence

00:15:43.860 --> 00:15:48.179
of God. But one way to just kind of, I won't

00:15:48.179 --> 00:15:50.879
say summarize because you can't really, you can't

00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.019
summarize in a sentence. But one thing I like

00:15:53.019 --> 00:15:56.840
to think about is hard things get soft in God.

00:15:56.860 --> 00:15:59.570
Yeah, that's good. There's just a whole lot of

00:15:59.570 --> 00:16:03.529
things that happen that are moving from disarray

00:16:03.529 --> 00:16:07.750
to order, from weakness to strength, from broken

00:16:07.750 --> 00:16:12.470
to healed. His presence gives life. And so that's

00:16:12.470 --> 00:16:17.509
the heartbeat of what drives us as worshipers.

00:16:18.250 --> 00:16:21.029
It's not about the music, although we are musicians

00:16:21.029 --> 00:16:24.549
and we do music, but that's an expression. Worship

00:16:24.549 --> 00:16:27.970
is about his presence. It's about entering in

00:16:27.970 --> 00:16:31.389
and having that love transaction where we tell

00:16:31.389 --> 00:16:34.250
him we love him and he loves us. And something

00:16:34.250 --> 00:16:37.669
very beautiful takes place just in that process

00:16:37.669 --> 00:16:41.450
of basking in the fullness of the Father's love.

00:16:41.830 --> 00:16:46.610
Yeah, and it's part that we just love is when

00:16:46.610 --> 00:16:49.070
we're loving on him, he's loving on us, when

00:16:49.070 --> 00:16:51.429
his glory is there. And that's something that's

00:16:51.429 --> 00:16:54.899
very... Important to us when we start worship

00:16:54.899 --> 00:17:01.759
is to wait on him to connect and make sure that

00:17:01.759 --> 00:17:04.779
he knows that we're going to follow him. We're

00:17:04.779 --> 00:17:07.240
going to follow what he's doing. We're going

00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:10.000
to look and see what he's doing and follow what

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:15.920
he's doing. And that's when, you know, we've

00:17:15.920 --> 00:17:19.339
given him a complete invitation to do whatever

00:17:19.339 --> 00:17:22.809
he wants. And that's when the story... does the

00:17:22.809 --> 00:17:25.589
heavy lifting. It's like the glory brings an

00:17:25.589 --> 00:17:28.910
ease and it does the heavy lifting. And then

00:17:28.910 --> 00:17:33.470
we just enter in and amazing things happen. Just

00:17:33.470 --> 00:17:36.549
even recently, someone had such a revelation

00:17:36.549 --> 00:17:40.210
during their time of worship. And that's what

00:17:40.210 --> 00:17:44.849
we want for people and for ourselves. Just, you

00:17:44.849 --> 00:17:46.829
know, that body, soul, and spirit can come in

00:17:46.829 --> 00:17:49.750
many different ways that God reaches our hearts.

00:17:50.319 --> 00:17:53.440
Yeah, just what an individual might need. And,

00:17:53.440 --> 00:17:58.380
you know, it's like, it's like, we're just loving

00:17:58.380 --> 00:18:01.099
on him. But, you know, he's always loving back.

00:18:01.200 --> 00:18:04.220
He's always reaching. He's always speaking. And

00:18:04.220 --> 00:18:08.740
so it's just a wonderful mutual exchange. He

00:18:08.740 --> 00:18:13.539
loves before we do. Yeah. You know, we love because

00:18:13.539 --> 00:18:18.180
he first loved us. Yeah. And I think that's where...

00:18:18.509 --> 00:18:23.529
So many folks are missing key ingredients in

00:18:23.529 --> 00:18:27.029
the life. You know, I'm noticing some of these

00:18:27.029 --> 00:18:31.130
folks that have deconstructed their faith and

00:18:31.130 --> 00:18:34.529
walked away from God. And I have to question

00:18:34.529 --> 00:18:38.490
how much of a relationship did they get? You

00:18:38.490 --> 00:18:41.410
know, I can understand. And I personally, I think

00:18:41.410 --> 00:18:46.400
it's good to allow questioning. I think it's

00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.359
healthy to question because not everything that

00:18:49.359 --> 00:18:53.400
we learned in church was scriptural. I mean,

00:18:53.440 --> 00:18:56.579
there's lots of traditions, just like the Pharisees

00:18:56.579 --> 00:18:59.779
added all kinds of traditions. And Jesus wasn't

00:18:59.779 --> 00:19:02.400
happy with that. And he's not too happy with

00:19:02.400 --> 00:19:05.980
the traditions that we tout as though they were

00:19:05.980 --> 00:19:08.859
scripture. And to be fair to the people that

00:19:08.859 --> 00:19:11.859
are pushing them, that's how they were taught.

00:19:12.240 --> 00:19:14.460
You know, Philip and I grew up in the church

00:19:14.460 --> 00:19:17.180
and we were, taught lots of things, but we've

00:19:17.180 --> 00:19:18.859
had to sort through some things that are like,

00:19:18.940 --> 00:19:21.660
I don't think that was quite right. But, you

00:19:21.660 --> 00:19:25.079
know, because we have a real relationship with

00:19:25.079 --> 00:19:28.740
the Lord, it's like, it's not his fault that

00:19:28.740 --> 00:19:33.519
somebody who was naming his name didn't get it

00:19:33.519 --> 00:19:38.619
right. Yeah. It makes me so sad because it's

00:19:38.619 --> 00:19:42.890
like people often don't really know him. They

00:19:42.890 --> 00:19:45.150
haven't had a revelation of his unconditional

00:19:45.150 --> 00:19:48.710
love, and that's so sad. Yeah, and they think

00:19:48.710 --> 00:19:53.930
he's just an angry old man in the sky. He's not

00:19:53.930 --> 00:19:56.390
that at all. There's one having fun on Earth.

00:19:56.450 --> 00:20:01.630
Let's squash him like a bug. I noticed just recently

00:20:01.630 --> 00:20:04.089
a Facebook friend, a guy that I was in college

00:20:04.089 --> 00:20:06.990
with, who went on to become actually quite a

00:20:06.990 --> 00:20:09.769
scholar. He made a Facebook post, and I thought

00:20:09.769 --> 00:20:12.500
what he said was absolutely brilliant. He said,

00:20:12.539 --> 00:20:14.559
it's not a bad thing, kind of going back to what

00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:17.099
you said, Sharon. It's not a bad thing to challenge

00:20:17.099 --> 00:20:20.880
some of the things that we have been taught and

00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.500
to verify. That's not a bad thing. It can be

00:20:24.500 --> 00:20:27.440
extremely healthy and necessary. And he said,

00:20:27.460 --> 00:20:31.059
where I would make the distinction as you are.

00:20:32.029 --> 00:20:35.190
entering into this phase of, if you want to think

00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:37.809
of it as remodeling a house, you know, if you

00:20:37.809 --> 00:20:41.369
deconstruct a house, quote unquote, well, that's

00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:45.309
fine. You can move a wall between two bedrooms

00:20:45.309 --> 00:20:48.210
that's not a load -bearing wall. But if you move

00:20:48.210 --> 00:20:50.609
a load -bearing wall, you're in trouble. Yeah.

00:20:50.809 --> 00:20:54.250
That we have to be careful when we get into deconstruction.

00:20:54.589 --> 00:20:59.460
We cannot give up on the inerrancy. We cannot

00:20:59.460 --> 00:21:01.880
give up on the virgin birth. We cannot give up

00:21:01.880 --> 00:21:04.700
on who Jesus is. There are certain things. Those

00:21:04.700 --> 00:21:06.460
are the load -bearing walls of the Christian

00:21:06.460 --> 00:21:10.680
faith. Yeah, that's good. And yes, we can grow

00:21:10.680 --> 00:21:14.299
in our ability to defend why we hold those conclusions

00:21:14.299 --> 00:21:19.140
as convictions. But to deconstruct those essentials,

00:21:19.359 --> 00:21:22.039
we've in essence rejected Christianity at its

00:21:22.039 --> 00:21:26.259
foundation. And lots of them have. I was kind

00:21:26.259 --> 00:21:27.960
of chatting with somebody about this earlier

00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:33.019
today, and we were talking about truth being

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:35.619
the thing that most people that are really honest

00:21:35.619 --> 00:21:38.599
in their hearts are seeking truth. And the problem

00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:42.579
is that they're tending to measure things with

00:21:42.579 --> 00:21:46.680
the wrong yardstick or the wrong scales. You

00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.779
have to have, as you said, the inerrancy of the

00:21:49.779 --> 00:21:52.420
Word of God. You have to have some kind of a...

00:21:52.730 --> 00:21:56.710
measuring line or a plumb line that shows you

00:21:56.710 --> 00:22:00.829
what is straight. And if you're getting your

00:22:00.829 --> 00:22:04.150
information from social media or from television

00:22:04.150 --> 00:22:07.769
and movies and whatever mainstream media that's

00:22:07.769 --> 00:22:10.470
out there from the world, and you're not getting

00:22:10.470 --> 00:22:14.869
it from the source of life, the instruction book

00:22:14.869 --> 00:22:18.049
that our father wrote to help us get through

00:22:18.049 --> 00:22:20.890
this. You're starting off on the wrong foot.

00:22:20.990 --> 00:22:24.109
You're not going to succeed. You know, I think

00:22:24.109 --> 00:22:27.930
another really important part of this discussion

00:22:27.930 --> 00:22:32.150
is it can't just be head knowledge. Right. It

00:22:32.150 --> 00:22:35.970
can't just be a belief system that sits on the

00:22:35.970 --> 00:22:40.309
shelf. It has to show up in real life. And we

00:22:40.309 --> 00:22:45.210
sometimes talk about in worship. We are actually

00:22:45.210 --> 00:22:48.390
growing our experiential apologetic, if I can

00:22:48.390 --> 00:22:52.369
coin a phrase. Because when you are sensing that

00:22:52.369 --> 00:22:56.470
immersive love of the Heavenly Father and our

00:22:56.470 --> 00:23:01.630
spirits, our regenerated, reborn spirits know

00:23:01.630 --> 00:23:05.250
that. Our souls are a little slow sometimes to

00:23:05.250 --> 00:23:09.430
catch on. But our spirit man is pulsating with

00:23:09.430 --> 00:23:14.569
life in worship. When we are able to experience

00:23:14.569 --> 00:23:18.869
the love of God and when that environment, when

00:23:18.869 --> 00:23:21.029
there's a group of people together pressing into

00:23:21.029 --> 00:23:24.170
his presence and worship, there's something that

00:23:24.170 --> 00:23:27.750
pushes against all the lies of culture, all the

00:23:27.750 --> 00:23:30.849
lies of the deconstruction movement that says,

00:23:30.869 --> 00:23:36.490
no, my heart tells me I am experiencing my creator

00:23:36.490 --> 00:23:42.849
in this moment right now in real time. Then a

00:23:42.849 --> 00:23:46.809
miracle breaks out or something happens that

00:23:46.809 --> 00:23:48.849
can't be explained any other way except by the

00:23:48.849 --> 00:23:51.650
power and presence of God. Now you've got an

00:23:51.650 --> 00:23:55.869
experiential apologetic that links arms with

00:23:55.869 --> 00:24:00.170
the knowledge and with the belief system side

00:24:00.170 --> 00:24:02.430
of faith where we do need to have reasons for

00:24:02.430 --> 00:24:04.930
why we believe what we believe. But I believe

00:24:04.930 --> 00:24:07.910
what we're doing and part of our calling with

00:24:07.910 --> 00:24:10.289
worship is to help people have that encounter.

00:24:11.300 --> 00:24:15.779
to where it's not just a walk of faith that is

00:24:15.779 --> 00:24:18.859
head knowledge, but it's a heart reality. Yes,

00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:21.640
that's good. Absolutely. Yeah, you could call

00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.299
it a relational apologetic because it's just

00:24:25.299 --> 00:24:29.140
like in any relationship, God's faithful to us.

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:31.519
He's always going to be faithful. And we want

00:24:31.519 --> 00:24:34.099
to be faithful back, just like we would be faithful

00:24:34.099 --> 00:24:37.019
in a marriage or be faithful just to a friend.

00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:41.049
You know, it's a relationship. So when people

00:24:41.049 --> 00:24:43.890
walk away, it's like, how could you walk away

00:24:43.890 --> 00:24:47.630
from your best friend? Your best friend's going

00:24:47.630 --> 00:24:51.730
to be faithful to you forever. Be faithful back.

00:24:52.710 --> 00:24:57.789
Yeah, that's true. That's true. So you've just

00:24:57.789 --> 00:25:01.670
recently returned from ministering in South Africa.

00:25:01.710 --> 00:25:06.009
Tell us about that. Wow. How do we begin? It

00:25:06.009 --> 00:25:09.940
was so glorious. We had to cross an ocean. Yeah.

00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.680
Yeah. It was a wonderful time. And one of the

00:25:14.680 --> 00:25:18.579
things that I think we can say is there is a

00:25:18.579 --> 00:25:21.299
move of God that's worldwide. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:24.660
Amen. It was such a thrill to be with people

00:25:24.660 --> 00:25:29.339
almost 8 ,000 miles away who love the Lord and

00:25:29.339 --> 00:25:34.759
who are passionate about him and just to join

00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:36.519
our hearts together. And isn't that a kind of

00:25:36.519 --> 00:25:40.799
picture of heaven? It was just a really, really

00:25:40.799 --> 00:25:43.940
beautiful time. So we came back. Our hearts are

00:25:43.940 --> 00:25:47.339
filled to overflowing. It was such a great experience

00:25:47.339 --> 00:25:50.240
being in South Africa. We were actually in a

00:25:50.240 --> 00:25:54.119
retreat center that was about 3 ,100 feet elevation

00:25:54.119 --> 00:25:58.299
above the Val d 'Or. And, oh my goodness, Wes,

00:25:58.380 --> 00:26:00.960
how do you even put into words the scenic beauty

00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:06.359
that matched. The theme of the conference, the

00:26:06.359 --> 00:26:09.559
clouds rolling in underneath where we were each

00:26:09.559 --> 00:26:13.039
morning. That was just stunning. Yeah, there

00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:15.460
in the mountains, seeing the clouds roll in.

00:26:15.640 --> 00:26:19.039
And one morning I got up pretty early to catch

00:26:19.039 --> 00:26:23.420
the sunrise, as did some others. And I saw dad

00:26:23.420 --> 00:26:27.799
walking out as well to experience that. And I

00:26:27.799 --> 00:26:31.359
saw some clouds kind of follow him. It was as

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:34.789
though. The angelic realm was stirring up some

00:26:34.789 --> 00:26:38.690
clouds to welcome Dad or to rejoice with Dad

00:26:38.690 --> 00:26:41.789
in our being there and the body of Christ being

00:26:41.789 --> 00:26:45.130
there. That creation is of God and that it's

00:26:45.130 --> 00:26:47.690
alive and that it partners with us as we partner

00:26:47.690 --> 00:26:50.849
with God. So these clouds were rolling in, but

00:26:50.849 --> 00:26:53.930
there were these unordinary clouds that kind

00:26:53.930 --> 00:26:57.089
of lunged up out from the rest of the clouds

00:26:57.089 --> 00:26:59.589
and followed Dad as he was walking. It's quite

00:26:59.589 --> 00:27:02.759
notable. Yeah, we were above the clouds. We were

00:27:02.759 --> 00:27:05.039
in the mountains and the clouds came in below

00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:08.039
us, which was really profound. So it was almost

00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.460
like, you know, sometimes you'll use an illustration

00:27:11.460 --> 00:27:14.339
in a sermon. And that was a living illustration.

00:27:14.420 --> 00:27:16.119
It was like, well, you just walk outside your

00:27:16.119 --> 00:27:20.019
door and creation. Psalm 19 .1 talks about how

00:27:20.019 --> 00:27:22.700
the heavens declare the glory of God. And all

00:27:22.700 --> 00:27:24.720
throughout the Psalms, the earth declares the

00:27:24.720 --> 00:27:28.000
glory of God. And our retreat theme, we were

00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:30.299
leading worship for four days in this setting.

00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.900
And the theme was, as Wes touched on, it was

00:27:33.900 --> 00:27:37.579
just about how our faith, our relationship with

00:27:37.579 --> 00:27:42.680
the Lord is so linked with the world, with creation,

00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:45.720
with what our creator created out of his heart

00:27:45.720 --> 00:27:51.160
of love. For us to enjoy. To enjoy and to partner

00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:56.519
with him in stewarding and just reveling in the

00:27:56.519 --> 00:28:00.599
beauty of what he created and loving it. It was

00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.799
just pretty amazing, the whole experience. You

00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:06.180
know, just worshiping with people from all different

00:28:06.180 --> 00:28:10.339
countries, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa,

00:28:10.500 --> 00:28:14.799
the U .S. Mozambique. Mozambique. Peru, was there

00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.500
anybody from Peru? It seemed like, anyway, just

00:28:17.500 --> 00:28:20.759
the body of Christ from all over the world, gathering

00:28:20.759 --> 00:28:24.200
together, worshiping him, loving him. It's a

00:28:24.200 --> 00:28:27.059
taste of heaven. It was our first international

00:28:27.059 --> 00:28:31.660
trip. Purely to do worship. So it was significant

00:28:31.660 --> 00:28:34.339
on that level. We've had international trips

00:28:34.339 --> 00:28:37.279
before to Israel, but we weren't going there

00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:40.640
to lead worship. That's been a few years ago,

00:28:40.740 --> 00:28:44.839
but this was specifically to lead worship. And

00:28:44.839 --> 00:28:50.240
what a glorious first experience. Amen. That's

00:28:50.240 --> 00:28:52.980
tremendous. You keep saying like heaven, and

00:28:52.980 --> 00:28:56.740
I keep thinking, we have a common friend that

00:28:56.740 --> 00:28:59.019
has been to heaven, and that's Dean Braxton,

00:28:59.180 --> 00:29:02.119
and he's been on this podcast a lot. And I have

00:29:02.119 --> 00:29:05.200
appreciated, Wes, your input when we've had him

00:29:05.200 --> 00:29:07.700
and other podcasts we've had. I so appreciate

00:29:07.700 --> 00:29:10.019
your feedback because it just means a lot to

00:29:10.019 --> 00:29:14.480
us, Wes. But the book that Dean wrote, Deep Worship

00:29:14.480 --> 00:29:18.579
in Heaven, was life -changing for me. Yes. And

00:29:18.579 --> 00:29:21.160
I'm sure you've read it also because, you know,

00:29:21.180 --> 00:29:25.119
that's how you are moving is in that kind of

00:29:25.119 --> 00:29:28.640
a heavenly realm. I think it's kind of like the

00:29:28.640 --> 00:29:31.440
veil gets really thin between heaven and earth

00:29:31.440 --> 00:29:34.119
when we're worshiping with that understanding

00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:38.299
of what heaven is like when it comes to worship.

00:29:39.000 --> 00:29:43.339
That the things that you experience in worship,

00:29:43.460 --> 00:29:47.019
it's not just singing a song. And it's not just

00:29:47.019 --> 00:29:50.920
dancing or clapping or tapping your toe or whatever.

00:29:51.259 --> 00:29:55.900
It's so all -encompassing that your whole being

00:29:55.900 --> 00:29:59.680
is meant, spirit, soul, and body, your whole

00:29:59.680 --> 00:30:04.339
being is meant to interact with the love of God

00:30:04.339 --> 00:30:08.240
and with the things that Jesus did for us. And

00:30:08.240 --> 00:30:11.519
the Holy Spirit is helping us in those times

00:30:11.519 --> 00:30:13.859
of worship, that it's all about interaction.

00:30:14.650 --> 00:30:19.289
It is. And one of the things that is so enormously

00:30:19.289 --> 00:30:23.750
satisfying beyond words, it's hard to even describe,

00:30:24.009 --> 00:30:29.509
is when we're sensing that wind of the Holy Spirit,

00:30:29.710 --> 00:30:33.950
sometimes we'll just try to follow. It's like

00:30:33.950 --> 00:30:36.750
putting your kite up in the sky and letting the

00:30:36.750 --> 00:30:40.230
wind carry. And Donna, you are really paying

00:30:40.230 --> 00:30:43.829
attention to what's happening. as the holy spirit

00:30:43.829 --> 00:30:47.470
is directing it's not just let's go through the

00:30:47.470 --> 00:30:50.890
song as planned but there's a lot of spontaneous

00:30:50.890 --> 00:30:53.849
in the moment that happens because of what you're

00:30:53.849 --> 00:30:56.750
talking about sharon what we're sensing is happening

00:30:56.750 --> 00:31:00.150
in heaven and you know first chronicles 25 and

00:31:00.150 --> 00:31:02.750
elsewhere in the scripture talks about prophesying

00:31:02.750 --> 00:31:05.609
on the instruments and there are times where

00:31:05.609 --> 00:31:08.569
we kind of get lost we don't know where the song

00:31:08.569 --> 00:31:12.230
is going but We're just flowing together. And

00:31:12.230 --> 00:31:16.190
it's just so crazy beautiful how the Lord has

00:31:16.190 --> 00:31:22.089
a way of expressing things through when we just

00:31:22.089 --> 00:31:24.990
yield ourselves. And that's all of us. Yeah.

00:31:25.130 --> 00:31:27.769
Ephesians 2 tells us that we're seated with him

00:31:27.769 --> 00:31:31.109
in heavenly places. And so we are there. We're

00:31:31.109 --> 00:31:34.869
in the throne room with him, you know, positionally

00:31:34.869 --> 00:31:37.970
as believers. And so, you know, when we lead,

00:31:38.049 --> 00:31:41.880
we're watching. What are you doing, Lord? And

00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:45.859
what is heaven doing? And we're going to follow

00:31:45.859 --> 00:31:48.980
what heaven is doing, follow what the Lord is

00:31:48.980 --> 00:31:53.380
doing in this setting at this moment, and do

00:31:53.380 --> 00:31:56.180
our best to follow that. And sometimes he'll

00:31:56.180 --> 00:32:02.960
have us focus on a certain lyric and go over

00:32:02.960 --> 00:32:05.960
that lyric again and again, because he's doing

00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:07.880
something with that lyric that somebody needs

00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:13.779
to hear. shifting the atmosphere or shifting

00:32:13.779 --> 00:32:18.740
a region or shifting a country or whatever. And

00:32:18.740 --> 00:32:23.079
yeah, there's been a lyric that he's kind of

00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:26.480
had us camping on for a while the last few times

00:32:26.480 --> 00:32:30.720
we've led worship. But it's just so fun to follow

00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:35.000
him. And then you get to hear what took place.

00:32:36.079 --> 00:32:39.599
Sometimes we'll never know fully, but some people

00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.440
then share. Like I said, I alluded to earlier,

00:32:43.720 --> 00:32:46.740
there was a person that had an inner healing

00:32:46.740 --> 00:32:50.559
and an insight into something that they shared.

00:32:51.500 --> 00:32:57.480
And so only the Holy Spirit, in following what

00:32:57.480 --> 00:33:03.079
he's doing, can we have the results because he's

00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:04.759
going to show us where to go and what to do.

00:33:05.829 --> 00:33:09.190
Amen. You know, many times we, you know, we don't

00:33:09.190 --> 00:33:12.809
fully comprehend what's happening with the people,

00:33:12.890 --> 00:33:16.109
you know, when God is doing something like, well,

00:33:16.170 --> 00:33:19.390
we had an experience a couple years ago. It was

00:33:19.390 --> 00:33:21.349
when we were having our convention here. Yeah,

00:33:21.369 --> 00:33:25.130
yeah. And it was a big train wreck. That's what

00:33:25.130 --> 00:33:28.009
we call it. When something goes wrong. Yeah,

00:33:28.029 --> 00:33:30.230
our one time to lead worship, you know, because

00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:32.470
we just stepped back and... You know, I picked

00:33:32.470 --> 00:33:34.690
all the music out. You know, you collate it because

00:33:34.690 --> 00:33:37.289
you had about 12, 13 different people we had

00:33:37.289 --> 00:33:40.609
to have music for. So, you know, you get it laid

00:33:40.609 --> 00:33:42.950
out. And, of course, it's always subject to change

00:33:42.950 --> 00:33:45.690
because you never know until you're up there

00:33:45.690 --> 00:33:48.349
what's going to happen. And we start on this

00:33:48.349 --> 00:33:52.609
one piece, and it just sounds different. It's

00:33:52.609 --> 00:33:54.849
something's wrong. I said to Sharon, don't you

00:33:54.849 --> 00:33:58.990
sing melody on this? And what had happened, the

00:33:58.990 --> 00:34:01.970
one sheet of music we had, was in a different

00:34:01.970 --> 00:34:04.170
key than everybody else's. And it wasn't the

00:34:04.170 --> 00:34:08.590
key we normally use. Because nobody else is playing.

00:34:08.969 --> 00:34:11.869
And then the people that play by ear, they start

00:34:11.869 --> 00:34:16.909
joining in. And I just say, stop. I've never

00:34:16.909 --> 00:34:21.619
done this ever. Just stop. And I reached back

00:34:21.619 --> 00:34:24.000
and I grabbed my sister -in -law's copy off the

00:34:24.000 --> 00:34:26.920
keyboard, said, let's restart this. And Sharon,

00:34:26.960 --> 00:34:29.519
you tell the rest of what was going on. So, you

00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:31.739
know, we started the song all over again in the

00:34:31.739 --> 00:34:35.059
correct key. We're on the same key. And it looked,

00:34:35.139 --> 00:34:37.840
you know, it was fine. But what we found out

00:34:37.840 --> 00:34:41.920
later was one of the ladies that was there told

00:34:41.920 --> 00:34:44.519
us later, she said, you remember that train wreck

00:34:44.519 --> 00:34:47.219
that you had? I had a vision while you're having

00:34:47.219 --> 00:34:50.440
that train wreck. And what her vision was, she

00:34:50.440 --> 00:34:54.239
saw these stairs coming down with, I think there

00:34:54.239 --> 00:34:56.719
was red carpet on the stairs. And there were

00:34:56.719 --> 00:34:59.659
angels lining both sides of the stairs. And Jesus

00:34:59.659 --> 00:35:02.719
was on his white horse coming down the stairs.

00:35:03.420 --> 00:35:06.179
And he came down into the room where we were

00:35:06.179 --> 00:35:09.179
and he got off of his horse and he walked over

00:35:09.179 --> 00:35:12.920
to a lady named Mercy McJones. She's one of our

00:35:12.920 --> 00:35:15.280
members and we've had her on the podcast before.

00:35:15.340 --> 00:35:19.079
She's from Nigeria. And he took one of the crowns

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:24.500
off of his head and he put it on her. So if you

00:35:24.500 --> 00:35:28.500
think about what that means, that in the midst

00:35:28.500 --> 00:35:31.940
of our train wreck, he was crowning Mercy. Wow.

00:35:33.150 --> 00:35:37.670
Wow. Wow. And that's how he is. He is so into

00:35:37.670 --> 00:35:42.329
mercy and grace. He's trying to get people to

00:35:42.329 --> 00:35:46.309
heaven. He's not trying to keep people out. He's

00:35:46.309 --> 00:35:49.409
not standing there at the door trying to say,

00:35:49.469 --> 00:35:52.210
nope, you didn't check that line off. Sorry,

00:35:52.329 --> 00:35:55.949
you can't come in. He's more about strategizing

00:35:55.949 --> 00:36:00.079
how to get you there. You know, that's why we

00:36:00.079 --> 00:36:02.480
intercede for people that that the Lord will

00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.519
forgive, that the Lord will, you know, lead people

00:36:05.519 --> 00:36:09.079
into repentance, that we ask him to forgive the

00:36:09.079 --> 00:36:11.619
sins of people that have hurt us, you know, so

00:36:11.619 --> 00:36:14.159
that it's not being held over them. You know,

00:36:14.179 --> 00:36:16.639
that's what intercession is all about is getting

00:36:16.639 --> 00:36:20.320
in between our father and the people that have

00:36:20.320 --> 00:36:22.639
done something wrong. That's what Moses did.

00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:26.719
You know, just no, Lord, you can't destroy them

00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:29.079
because the Egyptians will hear about it and

00:36:29.079 --> 00:36:31.480
think, oh, that God of Israel. Well, he was able

00:36:31.480 --> 00:36:33.159
to get him out of Egypt, but he wasn't able to

00:36:33.159 --> 00:36:35.420
take him to the promised land. Yeah. You know,

00:36:35.460 --> 00:36:38.460
it's about his name and he is the merciful one

00:36:38.460 --> 00:36:41.039
and he is the faithful one. And I think it's

00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:43.900
Dean that talks about how Jesus is always strategizing.

00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:48.119
Yeah. Yeah. So, you know, we need to get a whole

00:36:48.119 --> 00:36:51.599
new mindset about instead of condemning people.

00:36:52.300 --> 00:36:54.340
When we see that they're doing something wrong,

00:36:54.440 --> 00:36:57.579
that we should be interceding for them. Yeah.

00:36:58.280 --> 00:37:01.159
That's such an encouragement for you as worship

00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:04.219
leaders, too, for that person to come forward

00:37:04.219 --> 00:37:07.400
with that vision. Yes. Sometimes as worship leaders,

00:37:07.500 --> 00:37:10.599
you can think, oh, man, I really, we made a big

00:37:10.599 --> 00:37:13.000
mistake there. And it's like Jesus says, hey.

00:37:13.239 --> 00:37:17.980
Been redeemed. I use everything, just like Dean

00:37:17.980 --> 00:37:21.980
even talks about how even when we're. practicing

00:37:21.980 --> 00:37:25.360
yes it's not practicing it's worshiping and so

00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.820
even in the midst of being on the wrong keys

00:37:27.820 --> 00:37:32.039
it was your part of worship that jesus saw that

00:37:32.039 --> 00:37:35.280
you were in wreck and he made a grand entrance

00:37:35.280 --> 00:37:39.320
yeah he made yeah so yeah and that's what he

00:37:39.320 --> 00:37:41.760
saw i was just i was just thinking about how

00:37:41.760 --> 00:37:45.840
you thought it was a train wreck and mercy saw

00:37:45.840 --> 00:37:48.320
his train fill the temple yes oh i like that

00:37:48.320 --> 00:37:52.250
excellent That's good. That is good. Hallelujah.

00:37:52.449 --> 00:37:56.190
Sometimes in worship, things happen. And, you

00:37:56.190 --> 00:38:00.170
know, it's good to be humbled now and then. Yeah.

00:38:00.550 --> 00:38:03.070
Something that sometimes I'm the keyboardist

00:38:03.070 --> 00:38:06.789
of the group and Dave plays bass and the sound.

00:38:07.030 --> 00:38:11.329
Yeah. And Wes is our percussionist. And just

00:38:11.329 --> 00:38:14.550
occasionally I'll get so caught up in the spirit,

00:38:14.630 --> 00:38:16.530
I kind of lose my place. You know, I'm like,

00:38:16.550 --> 00:38:21.659
whoops. I know that feeling. And I want to say

00:38:21.659 --> 00:38:24.880
this. It's a little difficult to state exactly

00:38:24.880 --> 00:38:28.440
what I'm hoping to communicate here. We do care

00:38:28.440 --> 00:38:31.219
about right notes. Don't get me wrong. You know,

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.019
that aspect of it. But we care more about where

00:38:35.019 --> 00:38:38.940
the worship is going. And sometimes it's necessary

00:38:38.940 --> 00:38:43.159
as worship leaders to take prophetic risk. I

00:38:43.159 --> 00:38:47.889
actually love those times when Donna... We kind

00:38:47.889 --> 00:38:49.829
of think of it as getting into the four -wheel

00:38:49.829 --> 00:38:53.190
drive mode. You get off road, and we don't know

00:38:53.190 --> 00:38:56.329
where it's going. And it's a prophetic song.

00:38:56.429 --> 00:39:00.289
It's something that's never been done. And she's

00:39:00.289 --> 00:39:04.349
leading, and Wes and I are doing our best to

00:39:04.349 --> 00:39:09.349
follow. And sometimes we may not follow correctly,

00:39:09.530 --> 00:39:12.190
but that is okay. And that's one of the things

00:39:12.190 --> 00:39:15.829
I believe actually brings delight to the Lord.

00:39:16.329 --> 00:39:20.289
is when it's more about the heart of following

00:39:20.289 --> 00:39:23.989
in worship than it is about the perfection of

00:39:23.989 --> 00:39:28.869
execution in worship. Well said. Anytime we sense

00:39:28.869 --> 00:39:33.590
the Lord just saying, okay, let's get off road

00:39:33.590 --> 00:39:37.829
here, and it's an adventure. And a lot of times

00:39:37.829 --> 00:39:41.469
I'll have a sense, like Wes needs to take it

00:39:41.469 --> 00:39:45.079
with the percussion, and you want to speak. on

00:39:45.079 --> 00:39:49.480
that a little bit because there is prophecy on

00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:54.300
the instruments. And so when Wes takes it, he

00:39:54.300 --> 00:39:57.139
plays the cajon, there's some powerful things

00:39:57.139 --> 00:39:59.739
that take place. You want to share a little bit

00:39:59.739 --> 00:40:02.500
about that or things that people have, you know,

00:40:02.500 --> 00:40:05.880
shared that happen when you have done that because

00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:08.360
it really cuts through the atmosphere. Yeah.

00:40:08.860 --> 00:40:11.559
We found that people are very responsive to the

00:40:11.559 --> 00:40:13.900
cajon and the things that are accomplished on

00:40:13.900 --> 00:40:17.260
that instrument. And, you know, every instrument

00:40:17.260 --> 00:40:20.139
has its voice. It has its particular characteristic,

00:40:20.460 --> 00:40:23.739
its quality that lends itself to the spirit because

00:40:23.739 --> 00:40:27.760
music is a language. It's a sacred language that

00:40:27.760 --> 00:40:34.019
God gave us. And so worship brings godly life

00:40:34.019 --> 00:40:38.099
to that language. And so with my instrument.

00:40:38.750 --> 00:40:42.090
It does cut through. It does pierce things. And

00:40:42.090 --> 00:40:44.889
it's interesting. You look at some of the, oh,

00:40:44.909 --> 00:40:48.949
I don't know, Indian cultures or historical cultures,

00:40:49.030 --> 00:40:51.789
and drums were very significant for them to accomplish

00:40:51.789 --> 00:40:56.110
things. And it's no different for us. I think

00:40:56.110 --> 00:41:00.550
when Wes is playing, there are like chains that

00:41:00.550 --> 00:41:04.469
get broken off of people, bondages that get broken

00:41:04.469 --> 00:41:06.789
off of people. You can just sense it and feel

00:41:06.789 --> 00:41:10.039
it. There's an articulation that it's almost

00:41:10.039 --> 00:41:12.559
like a knife's edge that's just cutting through.

00:41:13.340 --> 00:41:16.900
And I also think about you mentioned Dean Braxton's

00:41:16.900 --> 00:41:20.280
book, Deep Worship in Heaven. And he talks in

00:41:20.280 --> 00:41:23.579
the book about experiencing a drumbeat in heaven.

00:41:23.679 --> 00:41:27.539
Yeah. And sometimes there's nothing else except

00:41:27.539 --> 00:41:30.980
just this drumbeat that's going on. And Jesus

00:41:30.980 --> 00:41:35.050
in John 519 talks about. He does what he sees

00:41:35.050 --> 00:41:37.530
the Father doing. Jesus was living as a man on

00:41:37.530 --> 00:41:42.309
earth, fully God, but yet fully man, watching

00:41:42.309 --> 00:41:46.269
to see what is my Father doing. And he was doing

00:41:46.269 --> 00:41:49.809
on earth what he saw in heaven. So when Wes is

00:41:49.809 --> 00:41:53.150
playing his heart out on that cajon, which is

00:41:53.150 --> 00:41:56.019
like a... It's not quite a drum, if you're not

00:41:56.019 --> 00:41:58.280
familiar with a cajon. It's not a drum set. It's

00:41:58.280 --> 00:42:00.460
not a drum set. How would you describe the sound

00:42:00.460 --> 00:42:03.179
of it, Wes? I think the easiest descriptor for

00:42:03.179 --> 00:42:07.500
it is called a box. That's what it means in Spanish.

00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:09.639
Yeah, there you go. People will call it that.

00:42:10.280 --> 00:42:15.340
And it's got a great range. But I give enormous

00:42:15.340 --> 00:42:18.019
credit to Dad for getting it to sound as good

00:42:18.019 --> 00:42:20.460
as it does. It's a great acoustic instrument,

00:42:20.559 --> 00:42:24.539
but the way that Dad mics it and... The way he

00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:27.639
amplifies it and gets that range of sound out

00:42:27.639 --> 00:42:30.380
of it is as much the instrument as anything.

00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:35.159
My hands are, I feel that they're guided. I'm

00:42:35.159 --> 00:42:40.000
like mom and dad. I'm constantly reading the

00:42:40.000 --> 00:42:45.019
room. I'm feeling it out, asking and partnering

00:42:45.019 --> 00:42:48.119
with the guidance for how to go about it because

00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:52.199
I don't want it to be bang, bang, bang. It's

00:42:52.199 --> 00:42:55.610
got to have. sensitivity to it that is real and

00:42:55.610 --> 00:42:59.550
that is alive and that is helpful. There are

00:42:59.550 --> 00:43:03.469
times when, you know, and that's the thing, it's

00:43:03.469 --> 00:43:06.230
being sensitive to what the Holy Spirit's doing.

00:43:06.829 --> 00:43:09.809
So there are times that Wes will just gently,

00:43:09.869 --> 00:43:14.230
gently play just in being sensitive to what's

00:43:14.230 --> 00:43:17.309
happening in the moment. So I appreciate his

00:43:17.309 --> 00:43:19.909
sensitivity. And that's what I try to really

00:43:19.909 --> 00:43:22.960
pay attention to. There are only three of us,

00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:26.139
so we are much more nimble because we're a small

00:43:26.139 --> 00:43:29.480
group. And we can follow each other pretty well.

00:43:29.519 --> 00:43:32.300
Donna and I have been doing this together long

00:43:32.300 --> 00:43:33.980
enough that I can watch her left hand and have

00:43:33.980 --> 00:43:35.500
a pretty good idea of what's going on as I'm

00:43:35.500 --> 00:43:38.400
playing bass. That's pretty good. This just has

00:43:38.400 --> 00:43:41.860
a knack. It's an uncanny knack for knowing where

00:43:41.860 --> 00:43:46.239
things are going. But the idea is to be available

00:43:46.239 --> 00:43:51.730
for those swells that give. articulation to the

00:43:51.730 --> 00:43:56.170
magnificence of God and yet also those dynamics

00:43:56.170 --> 00:43:59.750
that are delicate and sensitive and just almost

00:43:59.750 --> 00:44:03.869
barely playing or barely singing that are just

00:44:03.869 --> 00:44:07.570
in such reverent awe and the stillness. It's

00:44:07.570 --> 00:44:10.329
almost like giving a musical expression to stillness

00:44:10.329 --> 00:44:13.250
where people are experiencing a rest in their

00:44:13.250 --> 00:44:16.789
souls. And that's really just being able to use

00:44:16.789 --> 00:44:20.059
that entire range. is something that we feel

00:44:20.059 --> 00:44:22.780
is very important and very integral to what we

00:44:22.780 --> 00:44:24.960
try to do. Yeah, the sensitivity of the dove.

00:44:25.980 --> 00:44:28.920
I like to think that when Dad is playing bass,

00:44:29.179 --> 00:44:31.559
you know, he is my dad, and when he's playing

00:44:31.559 --> 00:44:36.719
those low frequencies or sustained notes, there's

00:44:36.719 --> 00:44:40.019
such a fullness about it. I think of it as the

00:44:40.019 --> 00:44:43.300
heart of the father when Dad is playing the bass.

00:44:44.800 --> 00:44:47.519
We were blessed about a year, year and a half

00:44:47.519 --> 00:44:51.190
ago. On a return trip we were coming back from,

00:44:51.309 --> 00:44:55.469
we just felt this urge to go to Asbury. The move

00:44:55.469 --> 00:44:59.030
started in Asbury. And we got there at great

00:44:59.030 --> 00:45:02.630
timing. God just worked everything out. And it

00:45:02.630 --> 00:45:05.269
was the most amazing because you had a guy playing

00:45:05.269 --> 00:45:09.170
guitar. He had a piano. And then you had the

00:45:09.170 --> 00:45:12.989
student on the cajon. Just above him was this

00:45:12.989 --> 00:45:17.570
magnificent drum set in a cage. Drum cage. drum

00:45:17.570 --> 00:45:21.389
cage not being used you know it was just the

00:45:21.389 --> 00:45:24.250
simplicity of the music and when we were outside

00:45:24.250 --> 00:45:27.090
standing to get in they were singing the chorus

00:45:27.090 --> 00:45:30.630
of honest day you know the holy are you lord

00:45:30.630 --> 00:45:34.710
god almighty yeah and that was going on while

00:45:34.710 --> 00:45:37.489
we're waiting to get in and it continued for

00:45:37.489 --> 00:45:40.530
quite a long time after we got in it would be

00:45:40.530 --> 00:45:44.090
like waves would just would just come And what

00:45:44.090 --> 00:45:47.369
it was, it was God meeting these kids right where

00:45:47.369 --> 00:45:50.690
they were at. There wasn't anything demonstrative.

00:45:51.050 --> 00:45:55.429
Nobody waving banners and running down the aisles

00:45:55.429 --> 00:45:58.630
and screaming and maybe doing a cartwheel or

00:45:58.630 --> 00:46:01.769
something. No, it was like the presence of God

00:46:01.769 --> 00:46:04.590
coming down in a traditional church that didn't

00:46:04.590 --> 00:46:08.320
know how to raise their hands. God met them right

00:46:08.320 --> 00:46:11.579
where they were at. But even with the cajon,

00:46:11.699 --> 00:46:16.139
it was amazing. Just that combination and the

00:46:16.139 --> 00:46:20.760
glory was just there. And it's just like, wow.

00:46:21.360 --> 00:46:24.539
And I'm sure they were in awe too, the way that

00:46:24.539 --> 00:46:26.619
whole thing started. It just started in their

00:46:26.619 --> 00:46:30.300
devotion and it just kept going. So it really

00:46:30.300 --> 00:46:32.780
is an amazing instrument. I think we need to

00:46:32.780 --> 00:46:37.710
get one. Could be we do. Well, I just want to

00:46:37.710 --> 00:46:41.489
really express our gratitude to the Lord, first

00:46:41.489 --> 00:46:45.789
of all, for connecting us because we have that

00:46:45.789 --> 00:46:49.130
similar heart for his presence and wanting to

00:46:49.130 --> 00:46:52.969
just lift him high and worship and flow with

00:46:52.969 --> 00:46:56.289
the Holy Spirit. So I just want to say thank

00:46:56.289 --> 00:46:59.670
you to you, Father, and thank you to you, Dave

00:46:59.670 --> 00:47:03.510
and Donna and Wes, as your name is three o 'clock

00:47:03.510 --> 00:47:07.280
session together. We bless you, and we really

00:47:07.280 --> 00:47:09.539
appreciate that you've come alongside us to help

00:47:09.539 --> 00:47:13.039
us to steward the presence of God in this convention

00:47:13.039 --> 00:47:15.980
that's coming up. And we really want to encourage

00:47:15.980 --> 00:47:19.079
people to come. It's really life -changing to

00:47:19.079 --> 00:47:23.519
kind of wade out into the depths of the presence

00:47:23.519 --> 00:47:27.159
of God when you get people that are so inclined

00:47:27.159 --> 00:47:30.639
that way and have walked together long enough

00:47:30.639 --> 00:47:34.019
to just learn to follow. I just think it's an

00:47:34.019 --> 00:47:36.159
opportunity that we really encourage people to

00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:39.960
join in on. I want to mention your website, right?

00:47:40.000 --> 00:47:42.980
You have a website? ThreeO 'ClockSession .com.

00:47:44.320 --> 00:47:47.039
Now, is there an apostrophe between the O and

00:47:47.039 --> 00:47:50.300
the C in O 'Clock? No apostrophe, and the word

00:47:50.300 --> 00:47:53.639
three is spelled out. T -H -R -E -E, Three O

00:47:53.639 --> 00:47:56.159
'Clock Session. Okay, we'll make sure we get

00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:58.500
that into the show notes. And we do have some

00:47:58.500 --> 00:48:00.460
recordings that are available online, Spotify.

00:48:02.240 --> 00:48:06.039
YouTube, all the platforms. Yeah, over 150 different

00:48:06.039 --> 00:48:09.880
digital platforms. Wow. So for 3 o 'clock session,

00:48:10.059 --> 00:48:11.440
you'll find some of the recordings. Yeah, we're

00:48:11.440 --> 00:48:13.940
in the middle of recording, trying to. There's

00:48:13.940 --> 00:48:17.639
many songs that we do, and we do many original

00:48:17.639 --> 00:48:20.480
songs, and we're trying to get them all recorded.

00:48:20.820 --> 00:48:24.619
It's hard when we are out worshiping, you know,

00:48:24.619 --> 00:48:28.960
and. then we need to come in and have time to

00:48:28.960 --> 00:48:32.199
record. Right, right. And you've written a lot

00:48:32.199 --> 00:48:34.880
of songs. Do you have any idea how many? I don't,

00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:38.679
but a good portion of what we do is all original.

00:48:39.000 --> 00:48:43.219
We do like to do some songs that everybody knows

00:48:43.219 --> 00:48:46.539
really well, so most of what we do is original.

00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:49.500
It would be hard to say for sure, but do you

00:48:49.500 --> 00:48:52.900
think 40 or 50, Donna? Oh, I don't know. Want

00:48:52.900 --> 00:48:56.239
to put a number on it? I'm always writing. It's

00:48:56.239 --> 00:48:59.000
a bunch. Yeah. And sometimes we do songs that

00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:03.440
she hasn't written yet. It just comes spontaneously.

00:49:03.820 --> 00:49:05.940
Yeah, sometimes. Stronger than the Lord, that

00:49:05.940 --> 00:49:09.059
was like a prophetic. I was singing something

00:49:09.059 --> 00:49:12.380
totally different. And I just felt this strong

00:49:12.380 --> 00:49:15.719
sense to start singing that out. And so that

00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:19.639
was what I would call a new song. And a lot of

00:49:19.639 --> 00:49:22.199
times. We'll do something like that. And it's

00:49:22.199 --> 00:49:25.099
just for that event, just for that moment. But

00:49:25.099 --> 00:49:30.239
that song, I felt like was one that was for not

00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:32.539
just for that evening, but I needed to grab it.

00:49:32.639 --> 00:49:36.920
But the next day I was like, oh, Lord, what chords

00:49:36.920 --> 00:49:41.059
did I? And he helped me remember what chords

00:49:41.059 --> 00:49:44.760
I was on. And so that's one of the songs that

00:49:44.760 --> 00:49:47.440
we do have recorded that a live version of it.

00:49:47.800 --> 00:49:53.500
But yeah, sometimes that new song we'll do again

00:49:53.500 --> 00:49:56.619
later. But sometimes it's just for that moment.

00:49:56.980 --> 00:49:59.860
Yes, and the Lord deserves that. He deserves

00:49:59.860 --> 00:50:04.639
something new every moment. And even when you

00:50:04.639 --> 00:50:07.199
sing a song that you've sung before, you sing

00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:11.500
it in a new way, and it has a new quality. That's

00:50:11.500 --> 00:50:13.900
right. We never do the same song the same way

00:50:13.900 --> 00:50:18.670
twice. And we want to just also say thank you

00:50:18.670 --> 00:50:22.050
to both of you. And we're looking forward to

00:50:22.050 --> 00:50:24.409
our time with the Global Outpouring family. And

00:50:24.409 --> 00:50:27.329
several times in this visit, we've mentioned

00:50:27.329 --> 00:50:29.949
our good friend Dean Braxton. And we've had,

00:50:29.989 --> 00:50:33.130
oh my, I don't know how many services we've ministered

00:50:33.130 --> 00:50:34.989
together with Dean. And we just love that guy.

00:50:35.389 --> 00:50:40.130
And he has such a profound testimony of his experience

00:50:40.130 --> 00:50:42.949
in clinically dead, coming back from heaven and

00:50:42.949 --> 00:50:44.710
telling the story of what that experience was

00:50:44.710 --> 00:50:47.610
like. And then Tony Kemp, another good mutual

00:50:47.610 --> 00:50:49.889
friend who is going to be one of the speakers.

00:50:49.949 --> 00:50:52.809
And we just would join with you in encouraging

00:50:52.809 --> 00:50:55.130
everyone who's listening. If there's any way

00:50:55.130 --> 00:50:57.730
that you can make it to the services in St. Louis

00:50:57.730 --> 00:51:00.329
at the Marriott Airport, we would love to connect

00:51:00.329 --> 00:51:01.989
in person and just believe it's going to be a

00:51:01.989 --> 00:51:05.010
very special time. And we just love how you are

00:51:05.010 --> 00:51:08.329
God chasers. You're going after, you love him

00:51:08.329 --> 00:51:10.989
and you want more of him, more and more and more

00:51:10.989 --> 00:51:15.119
of him. Absolutely. Yes, we'll pursue him together.

00:51:15.559 --> 00:51:19.940
Yes. Beautiful. I think about what a wealth of

00:51:19.940 --> 00:51:22.699
material you have on this podcast, all of the

00:51:22.699 --> 00:51:26.280
people that you've had on. Thinking of your question

00:51:26.280 --> 00:51:30.059
earlier about takeaways from last year, there

00:51:30.059 --> 00:51:32.519
was one highlight that stands out to me. There

00:51:32.519 --> 00:51:35.119
was a time when we were in worship and there

00:51:35.119 --> 00:51:37.980
was a holy hush that just settled over the whole

00:51:37.980 --> 00:51:41.099
place. I don't know if you recall that, but it

00:51:41.099 --> 00:51:46.239
was prolonged. It seemed to me that it was very

00:51:46.239 --> 00:51:50.760
much participating with what the ministry is

00:51:50.760 --> 00:51:54.699
all about and this outpouring that we're all

00:51:54.699 --> 00:52:00.300
expectant of, that holy hush before the rupture

00:52:00.300 --> 00:52:04.019
of heaven is the sense that I got last year.

00:52:04.480 --> 00:52:08.320
That's beautiful. Amen. Well, thank you so much

00:52:08.320 --> 00:52:10.980
for joining us today. And we look forward to

00:52:10.980 --> 00:52:12.940
