(267) “On the Threshold of Outpouring”

WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.339
We're meant to be new creatures in Christ. We're

00:00:03.339 --> 00:00:05.400
not supposed to look like the old. We're not

00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:08.099
supposed to sound like the old person that was

00:00:08.099 --> 00:00:11.820
unredeemed. But as we're drawing closer and closer

00:00:11.820 --> 00:00:13.880
and closer to him, we're getting more and more

00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:27.719
glory and to be more and more like him. to pour

00:00:27.719 --> 00:00:31.600
out His Spirit on all humanity. Welcome to Global

00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:33.899
Outpouring, where we contend for that promised

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:37.000
outpouring, we equip for that outpouring, so

00:00:37.000 --> 00:00:41.039
that we may engage in that very outpouring. I'm

00:00:41.039 --> 00:00:43.409
Philip Buss. And I'm Sharon Buss. Welcome to

00:00:43.409 --> 00:00:45.689
the podcast today. We're so glad that you are

00:00:45.689 --> 00:00:49.750
with us. We have just come back from our Global

00:00:49.750 --> 00:00:53.950
Outpouring Convention 2025, and we want to give

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:57.409
you a report of all, well, I don't think we can

00:00:57.409 --> 00:00:59.810
give all that God did, but we can give you an

00:00:59.810 --> 00:01:03.090
overview of what God did during that time in

00:01:03.090 --> 00:01:06.010
His presence. It was an amazing, amazing time

00:01:06.010 --> 00:01:09.269
where we were focusing on being on the threshold

00:01:09.269 --> 00:01:16.519
of outpouring. Thank you so much for joining

00:01:16.519 --> 00:01:19.560
us today. We bless you. And we just know that

00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:22.120
this is an opportunity for you to get to know

00:01:22.120 --> 00:01:25.299
us better. And for us to get to know you better,

00:01:25.340 --> 00:01:27.900

00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:31.000

you to do so. So today we are... going to talk

00:02:01.430 --> 00:02:04.170
about what happened at this convention. We've

00:02:04.170 --> 00:02:06.150
been talking about it for weeks and weeks and

00:02:06.150 --> 00:02:09.389
weeks, trying to get you to come to the convention,

00:02:09.550 --> 00:02:12.009
and some of you did, and we're so glad that you

00:02:12.009 --> 00:02:14.750
did. It was amazing. And if you didn't get to

00:02:14.750 --> 00:02:16.990
come, you will want to listen to some of these

00:02:16.990 --> 00:02:19.830
speakers. It's just powerful. Yeah, the whole

00:02:19.830 --> 00:02:21.969
thing is on our YouTube channel. We have a whole

00:02:21.969 --> 00:02:25.870
playlist for Convention 2025, and everything

00:02:25.870 --> 00:02:29.530
is there, including the worship and everything.

00:02:30.030 --> 00:02:32.770
Everything. So you're welcome to go there and,

00:02:32.789 --> 00:02:34.449
you know, you can fast forward through something

00:02:34.449 --> 00:02:36.590
that you don't want to listen to, but you really

00:02:36.590 --> 00:02:38.870
need to hear these messages that were given.

00:02:38.930 --> 00:02:42.210
But the anointing was so on the worship as well.

00:02:42.310 --> 00:02:45.330
So we trust that you will enjoy this and we'll

00:02:45.330 --> 00:02:48.849
put a link to the playlist on our YouTube channel

00:02:48.849 --> 00:02:51.550
in the show notes. And we know that you're going

00:02:51.550 --> 00:02:54.169
to be blessed by it. You know, it was exciting

00:02:54.169 --> 00:02:58.449
to us to see, even though this was kind of like,

00:02:58.939 --> 00:03:01.879
This was a restart for us. Yeah, this was a restart.

00:03:02.180 --> 00:03:05.560
Because for five years, we have had our conventions

00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:09.479
in a very small way, in our very small location

00:03:09.479 --> 00:03:13.979
here in very small Jasper, Arkansas. Which is

00:03:13.979 --> 00:03:16.419
hard to get to. It's hard to get to. A lot of

00:03:16.419 --> 00:03:19.560
people couldn't get to. But we felt that the

00:03:19.560 --> 00:03:23.439
Lord was leading us this year to go back to St.

00:03:23.580 --> 00:03:27.099
Louis, where we had been. Oh, man. 14 times,

00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.599
I think. We were 14 times at the Marriott, and

00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:33.219
then we were at other hotels probably another

00:03:33.219 --> 00:03:36.819
six times or so. You know, probably something

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:39.960
like 20 years that we spent in St. Louis. Sold

00:03:39.960 --> 00:03:43.439
a lot into St. Louis. Yes. Payback time. Oh,

00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.860
yeah. Wow. It was, too. It was tremendous. And

00:03:46.860 --> 00:03:50.300
people came. It wasn't as big as we used to have,

00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:55.639
but I think it's going to double next time. 220,

00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.900
230 or so at any one time in the place. I know

00:03:59.900 --> 00:04:03.199
some came and went. But everybody that I spoke

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:09.020
to were so blessed and felt so encouraged and

00:04:09.020 --> 00:04:12.759
so refreshed and so built up. It was exciting

00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.900
to me to hear their responses, because that's

00:04:15.900 --> 00:04:17.920
really what we were expecting from the Lord,

00:04:17.980 --> 00:04:20.040
that this was going to be a time of refreshing.

00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:25.100
And it was. It certainly was. And the thing that

00:04:25.100 --> 00:04:28.740
was really a surprise to us was the number of

00:04:28.740 --> 00:04:32.199
people that came from the nations. There were

00:04:32.199 --> 00:04:36.740
14 nations represented. That's just amazing.

00:04:37.100 --> 00:04:39.839
There was United States and Canada, Bangladesh,

00:04:40.439 --> 00:04:44.319
Angola, Belgium, Pakistan, Bolivia, Israel, Congo,

00:04:44.620 --> 00:04:47.120
China, New Zealand, India, Japan, and Haiti.

00:04:47.629 --> 00:04:50.550
All represented. Now, they may not have come

00:04:50.550 --> 00:04:54.300
from those nations. to the convention, but they're

00:04:54.300 --> 00:04:57.480
people from the nations that maybe have settled

00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.319
here or that are visiting here, or maybe they

00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:03.399
were missionaries to those nations and they were

00:05:03.399 --> 00:05:06.139
here. But they were representing the nation.

00:05:06.139 --> 00:05:08.939
It was their culture, their people. Yeah, it

00:05:08.939 --> 00:05:11.680
was just stunning to see. And we had translation

00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.660
in three different languages. Yes. And to translate

00:05:14.660 --> 00:05:17.980
into Chinese, into Spanish, and to French. Yeah.

00:05:18.120 --> 00:05:21.339
You know, to have that kind of situation. It

00:05:21.339 --> 00:05:24.600
was a glimpse of what we've done before in the

00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:28.100
past when we had much bigger conventions with

00:05:28.100 --> 00:05:31.560
lots more people. To have that many nations showing

00:05:31.560 --> 00:05:34.439
up for as small a group as we had, I thought

00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.699
that was stunning. Pretty amazing, yeah. Absolutely

00:05:36.699 --> 00:05:38.680
stunning. And I was really, really encouraged.

00:05:39.139 --> 00:05:42.579
And I loved the worship that we had together.

00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:46.839
We have one of the ladies on our staff is, first

00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:49.819
of all, the worshiper. She heads up our accounting

00:05:49.819 --> 00:05:53.040
department. But during convention, she is a worshiper.

00:05:53.139 --> 00:05:55.800
And she's not concerned about the accounting

00:05:55.800 --> 00:05:57.860
department. She's set up other people to take

00:05:57.860 --> 00:05:59.819
care of that. But she gets out there with her

00:05:59.819 --> 00:06:03.160
flags and her beautiful pageantry kind of things.

00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:05.759
And we had this discussion before convention

00:06:05.759 --> 00:06:09.180
that there wasn't anybody else that normally

00:06:09.180 --> 00:06:13.490
comes. to do that kind of pageantry. Yeah, normally

00:06:13.490 --> 00:06:16.790
we have a list of people that have a whole thing

00:06:16.790 --> 00:06:20.610
to show. Or that's what they do. Or sometimes

00:06:20.610 --> 00:06:23.310
with a soundtrack or something, which is hard

00:06:23.310 --> 00:06:25.350
to do anymore because of copyright issues. Sure,

00:06:25.350 --> 00:06:27.410
especially since we're streaming it now. Yeah,

00:06:27.490 --> 00:06:29.189
streaming it. Back in the day when we weren't

00:06:29.189 --> 00:06:31.069
streaming it, we could do it. It's changed the

00:06:31.069 --> 00:06:33.389
whole pattern, so you don't get a lawsuit on

00:06:33.389 --> 00:06:37.350
your hand. Sure. She just was thinking she was

00:06:37.350 --> 00:06:39.750
going to be all by herself, dancing before the

00:06:39.750 --> 00:06:42.509
Lord. And God brought people from the nations.

00:06:42.750 --> 00:06:46.230
Yeah, we had 10 people from mainland China. It's

00:06:46.230 --> 00:06:49.230
amazing they got out and that they got in. Right.

00:06:49.329 --> 00:06:52.990
You know, like, wow. And they came with a passionate

00:06:52.990 --> 00:06:55.629
desire to worship the Lord. And the folks from

00:06:55.629 --> 00:06:58.910
New Zealand came with their way of worship, which

00:06:58.910 --> 00:07:02.579
is... Totally unique. They're Maoris. So if you

00:07:02.579 --> 00:07:04.980
know anything about the Maoris and how they do

00:07:04.980 --> 00:07:08.300
the haka, which is, you know, they've redeemed

00:07:08.300 --> 00:07:12.459
this haka before the Lord in ancient times or

00:07:12.459 --> 00:07:15.800
even probably more recent times. Their haka dance

00:07:15.800 --> 00:07:20.089
was. Very intimidating to the enemy. So before

00:07:20.089 --> 00:07:22.490
they, in fact, they do that on the soccer field.

00:07:22.490 --> 00:07:24.529
Yeah, they do that before their soccer team comes

00:07:24.529 --> 00:07:26.949
out, I think. And it's very, very intimidating.

00:07:27.290 --> 00:07:31.329
But now they're doing it to be intimidating to

00:07:31.329 --> 00:07:34.449
the devil. Yeah. And in spiritual warfare. So,

00:07:34.470 --> 00:07:37.290
you know, they did some of that with this rawr

00:07:37.290 --> 00:07:42.670
kind of, you know. And then there were those

00:07:42.670 --> 00:07:45.720
that. were coming from other places and places

00:07:45.720 --> 00:07:48.060
around the United States, and they brought their

00:07:48.060 --> 00:07:50.699
flags and their worshipers too. And I'm telling

00:07:50.699 --> 00:07:54.259
you, the place was just... bursting with worshipers.

00:07:54.319 --> 00:07:57.600
And thankfully, the Lord had showed us how to

00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:01.199
lay out the room that left lots of space for

00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.120
worship. So they could swing around with their

00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:07.259
flags and their banners and dancing and just

00:08:07.259 --> 00:08:09.860
all the things that they were doing, showing

00:08:09.860 --> 00:08:14.339
worship to the Lord. And it was just, just marvelous.

00:08:14.660 --> 00:08:17.459
And our friend Dean Braxton was one of our speakers.

00:08:18.350 --> 00:08:22.810
And he's spoken on this podcast probably 15 times

00:08:22.810 --> 00:08:27.370
already. And he made the comment that he had

00:08:27.370 --> 00:08:30.310
never been in a place on the planet, as he calls

00:08:30.310 --> 00:08:36.470
Earth, that he saw such a mingling of the cultures

00:08:36.470 --> 00:08:41.309
that reminded him of heaven. He said, normally

00:08:41.309 --> 00:08:43.889
where he goes, you'll see a group of people that's

00:08:43.889 --> 00:08:47.179
from one culture or maybe two. But he'd never

00:08:47.179 --> 00:08:50.399
seen this mix of cultures worshiping before the

00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:55.259
Lord together. And he said it was just so much

00:08:55.259 --> 00:08:57.620
like heaven. He said coming to this convention

00:08:57.620 --> 00:09:00.889
was a gift from the Lord to him. Wow, that's

00:09:00.889 --> 00:09:03.490
amazing. It is absolutely amazing. Absolutely.

00:09:03.970 --> 00:09:06.610
So we'll talk more about what he had to say.

00:09:06.710 --> 00:09:09.309
I just want to give kind of a play -by -play.

00:09:09.570 --> 00:09:11.649
Kind of make you jealous that you weren't there.

00:09:11.909 --> 00:09:14.950
Oh, yeah. But you can watch it. You can watch

00:09:14.950 --> 00:09:19.029
it. It will be there. And I know that the anointing

00:09:19.029 --> 00:09:22.129
is still on it. I've heard that from people who

00:09:22.129 --> 00:09:25.279
were listening who couldn't come. They said the

00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:28.539
anointing came through. It was there. So you'll

00:09:28.539 --> 00:09:31.840
be blessed by it too. We had Siggy Oblander as

00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.779
our opening night speaker, and she's one of the

00:09:34.779 --> 00:09:38.059
founders of this ministry. And she's probably,

00:09:38.200 --> 00:09:40.220
I don't know that she was the opening speaker

00:09:40.220 --> 00:09:43.960
for the First World Convention, but I know she

00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.879
spoke many times during our conventions through

00:09:46.879 --> 00:09:49.840
the years. And so it just was so right in our

00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:53.220
hearts because this was our 50th. annual event.

00:09:53.539 --> 00:09:55.840
We had a few years where we did camp meetings

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.100
instead of what we'd call a convention, but every

00:09:59.100 --> 00:10:01.580
year we were doing something. So this was our

00:10:01.580 --> 00:10:06.360
50th year, our 50th time, I should say. And so

00:10:06.360 --> 00:10:10.299
she brought a tremendous message about the five

00:10:10.299 --> 00:10:14.600
things that will give you the grace to go on.

00:10:15.399 --> 00:10:19.480
And she talked about looking back into your history,

00:10:19.580 --> 00:10:23.379
looking back, looking behind you, Which was ideal

00:10:23.379 --> 00:10:28.220
for what we're doing. We had put together a slideshow

00:10:28.220 --> 00:10:31.419
of pictures from the last 50 events that we've

00:10:31.419 --> 00:10:33.960
had and mission trips. That was quite amazing.

00:10:34.139 --> 00:10:36.379
It really was. There's only a handful of pictures.

00:10:36.720 --> 00:10:39.759
I mean, how many pictures was there? Oh, I don't

00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:41.960
know. Well over a hundred. There's thousands

00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:43.759
of pictures. There's thousands of pictures. We

00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:46.519
just didn't have time to... to put that together

00:10:46.519 --> 00:10:48.960
because that was a last minute thing. Yeah, we'll

00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.059
probably figure out a way to put it on our YouTube

00:10:52.059 --> 00:10:54.679
channel. But, you know, it's just pictures of

00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:57.820
our history looking back. So she said, the first

00:10:57.820 --> 00:11:00.240
thing you have to do is look back and then you

00:11:00.240 --> 00:11:04.120
have to look up. And she talked about how Abraham

00:11:04.120 --> 00:11:07.240
was told by the Lord to look up to the stars.

00:11:08.100 --> 00:11:11.179
And as you look up, you see promises of things

00:11:11.179 --> 00:11:14.240
to come. And then she said, you have to look

00:11:14.240 --> 00:11:17.159
around. Look at the things around you. Look at

00:11:17.159 --> 00:11:19.460
the people around you. And then you look within.

00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:23.200
Self -examination. Yeah. Check things out. Where

00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:26.159
are you at with the Lord? And you have to do

00:11:26.159 --> 00:11:27.899
all of those things before you can really look

00:11:27.899 --> 00:11:31.340
forward. Yeah. And so, you know, as we're talking

00:11:31.340 --> 00:11:35.399
about our first 50 conventions, we're also looking

00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.580
forward to what the Lord has for us. And we'll

00:11:38.580 --> 00:11:42.840
get to that at the end of this episode. She had

00:11:42.840 --> 00:11:46.960
a... One of her statements was where Jesus, to

00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.700
let him put his nail -scarred finger in the keyhole

00:11:49.700 --> 00:11:53.120
of your heart. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's from Sago

00:11:53.120 --> 00:11:55.480
Solomon where the bride has taken off her shoes

00:11:55.480 --> 00:11:57.360
and she's washed her feet and she's gone to bed.

00:11:57.659 --> 00:12:00.519
And he says, open to me. And the way, if you

00:12:00.519 --> 00:12:02.620
have a chance to listen to that, the way she

00:12:02.620 --> 00:12:05.879
presented that, it's just like the bride had

00:12:05.879 --> 00:12:08.019
his hand open the door, but she was supposed

00:12:08.019 --> 00:12:10.639
to come to the door and open it and she didn't.

00:12:10.879 --> 00:12:13.830
Yeah. And he didn't come. Yeah. Well, the way

00:12:13.830 --> 00:12:16.830
she said it was, the bride wanted him to come

00:12:16.830 --> 00:12:21.250
in to her, and he wanted her to come out to him.

00:12:21.490 --> 00:12:24.230
Come out to him, even though the door was unlocked.

00:12:24.809 --> 00:12:27.009
Yeah. I mean, I'd never seen it that way before.

00:12:27.009 --> 00:12:29.549
Yeah, the way it was presented, it was just so

00:12:29.549 --> 00:12:32.450
powerful. It really was. And a lot was on the

00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:35.230
bride. Yeah. I mean, and this is someone who

00:12:35.230 --> 00:12:37.909
grew up in communism. Right. Grew up in East

00:12:37.909 --> 00:12:41.169
Germany under the Soviet system, which was brutal.

00:12:43.370 --> 00:12:46.710
what the Germans did to the Soviets. And the

00:12:46.710 --> 00:12:50.309
Soviets did to the Germans. Yeah, so they're

00:12:50.309 --> 00:12:52.169
not going to be nice to any German, and they

00:12:52.169 --> 00:12:57.070
weren't. It was tough growing up in Berlin. Sure

00:12:57.070 --> 00:13:01.230
was. So that was just powerful. So then the next

00:13:01.230 --> 00:13:05.309
day, we had Dean Braxton. And he said, this is

00:13:05.309 --> 00:13:08.649
something I've never shared before, about the

00:13:08.649 --> 00:13:11.269
eight things that God showed him that would happen

00:13:11.269 --> 00:13:15.000
in the end times. And I think you just need to

00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.799
go and listen to that one to get it for yourself.

00:13:17.919 --> 00:13:20.320
I don't think we need to try and recap it for

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.899
you. You need to hear it because it's important.

00:13:22.120 --> 00:13:25.539
What was fun, but we had a question and answer.

00:13:25.639 --> 00:13:28.860
Two of them. Two of them were people. We had

00:13:28.860 --> 00:13:32.240
a basket up front and it said questions for Dean

00:13:32.240 --> 00:13:36.429
Braxton. Yep. And so we had. had an hour and

00:13:36.429 --> 00:13:39.610
a half session for a couple days where he would,

00:13:39.690 --> 00:13:42.129
this is what the Lord showed him, what he saw.

00:13:42.970 --> 00:13:47.730
It was powerful. It really was. And the thing

00:13:47.730 --> 00:13:51.289
that touched my heart the most was when I asked

00:13:51.289 --> 00:13:53.929
him, because I had the privilege of pulling people's

00:13:53.929 --> 00:13:56.509
questions and asking them. And I sneaked a few

00:13:56.509 --> 00:13:59.950
of my own in. Yeah, I won't say it's not fair,

00:14:00.049 --> 00:14:05.059
but it really is. I asked him about the scripture

00:14:05.059 --> 00:14:09.299
in Revelation where it says that the living creatures,

00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.980
I think it was, were speaking to each other and

00:14:12.980 --> 00:14:15.480
saying, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty,

00:14:15.740 --> 00:14:18.220
who was and who is and who is to come. I said,

00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:22.200
did you hear that? And he said, yes. He gave

00:14:22.200 --> 00:14:24.340
me those short answers sometimes, and I would

00:14:24.340 --> 00:14:27.940
ask for more, more detail, tell me more. And

00:14:27.940 --> 00:14:31.549
the thing that he said really... struck me, and

00:14:31.549 --> 00:14:35.450
it's changed how I worship, which is the whole

00:14:35.450 --> 00:14:38.909
point of us having Dean Braxton, in order for

00:14:38.909 --> 00:14:41.490
us to find out more about how it is in heaven.

00:14:41.979 --> 00:14:44.860
so that we can practice it here on earth in answer

00:14:44.860 --> 00:14:47.340
to the prayer that the church has been praying

00:14:47.340 --> 00:14:49.460
ever since Jesus taught his disciples to pray,

00:14:49.899 --> 00:14:53.299
thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as

00:14:53.299 --> 00:14:55.919
it is in heaven. So the more we find out about

00:14:55.919 --> 00:14:58.120
how it is in heaven, the more we can do it on

00:14:58.120 --> 00:15:02.299
earth. So what he said was that, you know, we

00:15:02.299 --> 00:15:05.259
think, holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, you

00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:09.100
know, kind of fast. Like the hymn. Yeah. But

00:15:09.100 --> 00:15:13.450
what he said was it's very slow. Like, holy.

00:15:17.070 --> 00:15:19.789
A little longer than that. Very, very, very long.

00:15:20.429 --> 00:15:25.549
And so that gave me a whole new thought about

00:15:25.549 --> 00:15:31.230
how I worship. To stretch it out. To make it

00:15:31.230 --> 00:15:33.990
longer. To make it more sustained. To make it

00:15:33.990 --> 00:15:38.330
deeper in me. That every sound that I make, I'm

00:15:38.330 --> 00:15:42.440
doing it more deliberately. just taking it deeper.

00:15:42.919 --> 00:15:46.419
So that was a thing for me in that. Then that

00:15:46.419 --> 00:15:49.059
night, I guess it was Thursday night, we had

00:15:49.059 --> 00:15:52.039
what we call Israel night. And we focused on

00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:55.419
Israel and we sang songs of worship that was

00:15:55.419 --> 00:15:57.899
more Israel style. And we had dancing that was

00:15:57.899 --> 00:16:01.779
more Israel style. And Dr. Gene Little, he and

00:16:01.779 --> 00:16:05.559
his wife, Mary Lois, run our house of peace in

00:16:05.559 --> 00:16:09.880
Jerusalem for us that we've had now for... Almost

00:16:09.880 --> 00:16:13.720
27 years. This fall will be 27 years. I think

00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:16.960
so, unless it already was. I've lost track. We

00:16:16.960 --> 00:16:22.639
were going to celebrate 25 years, and we had

00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:25.960
just bought our ticket on October 4th when October

00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:30.519
7th happened. So I guess we're probably at 26

00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:34.700
and a half years. Anyway, they shared the need

00:16:34.700 --> 00:16:37.710
that we have for renovating our kitchen. in the

00:16:37.710 --> 00:16:40.210
house of peace we've been doing renovations and

00:16:40.210 --> 00:16:42.129
they gave a report on the renovations we've been

00:16:42.129 --> 00:16:45.909
doing and how the lord has provided and if anybody

00:16:45.909 --> 00:16:49.929
wants to sow into that we now have a button on

00:16:49.929 --> 00:16:52.690
our website that's specifically for giving to

00:16:52.690 --> 00:16:55.529
our israel ministry and it goes directly into

00:16:55.529 --> 00:16:58.429
our israel account so we don't have to transfer

00:16:58.429 --> 00:17:00.710
from one account to another so we've got that

00:17:00.710 --> 00:17:03.470
set up and i'm very happy that it's saving on

00:17:03.470 --> 00:17:07.140
our bookkeeping yeah and If you want to contribute

00:17:07.140 --> 00:17:10.980
to that, it's a big project. And we've been doing

00:17:10.980 --> 00:17:12.940
big projects and the Lord has provided, so we

00:17:12.940 --> 00:17:15.019
fully expect him to provide for this as well.

00:17:15.500 --> 00:17:18.720
And then Gene went on to talk about many things

00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:21.799
about Israel. And there's just so much to say

00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.500
about Israel. It's such a major, big subject.

00:17:25.940 --> 00:17:29.660
Then the next morning we had Jeff Simons. And

00:17:29.660 --> 00:17:34.490
we had him on the podcast some weeks ago. I was

00:17:34.490 --> 00:17:38.289
very impressed with his well -balanced message

00:17:38.289 --> 00:17:42.750
about all of these exposures that have been going

00:17:42.750 --> 00:17:48.349
on and how it's important for us to have the

00:17:48.349 --> 00:17:53.049
right heart and the right attitudes for dealing

00:17:53.049 --> 00:17:56.130
with these things, that they really need to come

00:17:56.130 --> 00:18:00.589
forth in a correct manner because there are people

00:18:00.589 --> 00:18:03.049
that have been hurt. And you can't just sweep

00:18:03.049 --> 00:18:05.630
these people under the rug. I mean, that's an

00:18:05.630 --> 00:18:08.890
expression, but you can't just push them aside

00:18:08.890 --> 00:18:12.069
and say, no, no, this is our pastor or this is

00:18:12.069 --> 00:18:16.849
our whoever and only just defend. There's a point

00:18:16.849 --> 00:18:20.309
and a place where things have to be dealt with.

00:18:20.849 --> 00:18:24.490
So I just appreciated that very much, how beautifully

00:18:24.490 --> 00:18:28.170
he did that and the compassion that he expressed

00:18:28.170 --> 00:18:31.029
about the people that have been hurt. And I loved

00:18:31.029 --> 00:18:35.130
how he brought an altar call at the end for those

00:18:35.130 --> 00:18:38.950
who are having trouble forgiving, forgiving people

00:18:38.950 --> 00:18:42.890
who have hurt them. And it's really a call for

00:18:42.890 --> 00:18:46.470
repentance because unforgiveness is a sin that

00:18:46.470 --> 00:18:49.490
can take you to hell. You know, we've had podcasts

00:18:49.490 --> 00:18:52.309
about that in the past. I think it's one of the

00:18:52.309 --> 00:18:57.079
hell's best kept secret. Unforgiveness. Unforgiveness

00:18:57.079 --> 00:18:59.700
is his best kept secret because he can take Christians

00:18:59.700 --> 00:19:03.019
to hell because they won't forgive. Because it

00:19:03.019 --> 00:19:06.640
says very clearly at the end of the Lord's Prayer

00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:10.099
that if you don't forgive, you won't be forgiven.

00:19:10.319 --> 00:19:14.079
So it's pretty critical. And then that evening,

00:19:14.220 --> 00:19:18.960
Pastor Tony Kemp gave his first message. And

00:19:18.960 --> 00:19:21.140
Philip, you had a couple of notes there that

00:19:21.140 --> 00:19:24.279
I'd love for you to share. He was referring,

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:28.980
I mean, he's a wealth of just revelatory knowledge.

00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.099
Absolutely. But he made a statement, a brilliant

00:19:32.099 --> 00:19:36.279
strategist in me, the Holy Spirit. It gives me

00:19:36.279 --> 00:19:40.140
a revelation not only who he is, but who I am.

00:19:40.779 --> 00:19:44.079
How many people really know who they are in the

00:19:44.079 --> 00:19:47.440
Holy Spirit? Yeah. I thought, wow. And the only

00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:50.299
way you find that out is by hanging out with

00:19:50.299 --> 00:19:52.789
them more. Mm -hmm. I'm preaching to the choir.

00:19:53.650 --> 00:19:56.250
I'm like, I've got more than you. No, uh -uh.

00:19:58.750 --> 00:20:01.049
Everybody's on a journey of their own. Absolutely.

00:20:01.170 --> 00:20:05.009
And the more we can connect with him, the more

00:20:05.009 --> 00:20:08.730
he will use him. In fact, he did make a statement

00:20:08.730 --> 00:20:12.150
that was really amazing. He says, what you overcome,

00:20:12.630 --> 00:20:15.430
we're always working on overcoming. He says,

00:20:15.509 --> 00:20:18.099
what you overcome, you have authority over. Yes.

00:20:18.200 --> 00:20:20.839
You know, that is really good. So if you're having

00:20:20.839 --> 00:20:24.440
difficulties in some area, you just have to remember

00:20:24.440 --> 00:20:26.140
that. You know, the only way to get authority

00:20:26.140 --> 00:20:31.019
over this is to overcome it. Yes. Yeah, and he

00:20:31.019 --> 00:20:33.920
made a statement like, you remove defilement

00:20:33.920 --> 00:20:36.759
out of your life and you will have discernment.

00:20:37.019 --> 00:20:40.220
Ooh. And now you think about that. You know,

00:20:40.279 --> 00:20:43.799
remove defilement because the more, it's like

00:20:43.799 --> 00:20:46.480
that song we used to sing. I want more of Jesus,

00:20:46.579 --> 00:20:49.420
more and more and more. I want more of Jesus

00:20:49.420 --> 00:20:52.140
than I've ever had before. We all want that.

00:20:52.299 --> 00:20:56.180
I want more of his great love, so rich, so full

00:20:56.180 --> 00:20:59.920
and free. I want more of Jesus, so I'll give

00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:02.960
him more of me. And that's the hard part. It's

00:21:02.960 --> 00:21:06.519
giving more of yourself to him. So the more you

00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:10.819
give to him, the more he gives to you. Beautiful.

00:21:11.079 --> 00:21:15.700
Yeah. And so that was just... And he made a statement.

00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:18.660
If you don't get revelation, you're stagnant.

00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.740
Wow. Ouch, you know. Wow, wow. So it's, you know,

00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.579
we heard some powerful things that were there.

00:21:28.700 --> 00:21:32.000
Yeah. Yeah, and just a lot to chew on. I just

00:21:32.000 --> 00:21:35.140
recommend everybody, you know, that Tony Kemp

00:21:35.140 --> 00:21:38.660
first night. That is just very powerful because

00:21:38.660 --> 00:21:40.839
there's something there for you. Yeah, it was

00:21:40.839 --> 00:21:43.539
from the Thursday night meeting. Our Friday night

00:21:43.539 --> 00:21:45.759
meeting, rather. We went through Saturday. It's

00:21:45.759 --> 00:21:49.759
like the absence of light keeps you where you're

00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:55.640
at. Wow. So we have to press in to that. And

00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.299
this comes from somebody that has done this.

00:21:58.420 --> 00:22:02.079
I mean, Pastor Tony was a bad dude in his early

00:22:02.079 --> 00:22:05.619
years. You know, he was a street guy. Yeah. And

00:22:05.619 --> 00:22:08.640
no telling how many people he beat up. You know,

00:22:08.660 --> 00:22:10.960
he doesn't talk about that, but he lets you know

00:22:10.960 --> 00:22:13.299
he used to do stuff like that. Yeah. You don't

00:22:13.299 --> 00:22:15.619
want to mess around with him, you know. And to

00:22:15.619 --> 00:22:19.319
see where he is now, you know. Oh, yeah, here's

00:22:19.319 --> 00:22:22.559
one he had. The light in you depends on who will

00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.039
follow you. You mean determines. Determines.

00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:27.319
Yeah. Yeah, determines. Sorry, when I'm trying

00:22:27.319 --> 00:22:29.759
to write things and I keep talking, you know,

00:22:29.779 --> 00:22:32.140
sometimes you mess things up, you know. It's

00:22:32.140 --> 00:22:33.599
like you've got to go back to the recording.

00:22:34.220 --> 00:22:37.549
Yeah. But so the light on you depends who will

00:22:37.549 --> 00:22:42.549
follow you. Yeah. Wow. And the absence of light

00:22:42.549 --> 00:22:46.349
keeps you where you're at. Right. Wow, wow. So

00:22:46.349 --> 00:22:49.529
it's all about stepping out of the darkness into

00:22:49.529 --> 00:22:52.970
the light. And here's one he had. Enoch didn't

00:22:52.970 --> 00:22:55.910
ask God to walk with him. Yes. He walked with

00:22:55.910 --> 00:23:00.269
God. Right. Yeah. So we can't expect Jesus to

00:23:00.269 --> 00:23:03.950
just come in and fix everything. We have to walk

00:23:03.950 --> 00:23:07.509
with him. Kind of like the Song of Solomon we

00:23:07.509 --> 00:23:11.190
talked about. The door's unlocked. I think he

00:23:11.190 --> 00:23:14.089
talks about his hand on the door, if I remember

00:23:14.089 --> 00:23:16.289
right. He put his hand through the lattice. He

00:23:16.289 --> 00:23:18.309
put his hand through the lattice. He didn't open

00:23:18.309 --> 00:23:20.250
the door, though, because he wants you to open

00:23:20.250 --> 00:23:22.529
the door. Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

00:23:22.789 --> 00:23:24.269
Yep, I stand at the door and knock. Oh, and he

00:23:24.269 --> 00:23:27.769
had another statement. Walk in his story to walk

00:23:27.769 --> 00:23:31.490
in his glory. Ooh, yeah. It's about walking in

00:23:31.490 --> 00:23:34.519
his ways. Uh -huh. When we walk in his ways,

00:23:34.680 --> 00:23:37.079
we'll get the glory that comes with his ways.

00:23:38.160 --> 00:23:41.180
So that was a powerful message. You know, there's

00:23:41.180 --> 00:23:43.920
so much there. Yeah. I just got to go back. You

00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:45.140
couldn't write fast enough. You can't write fast

00:23:45.140 --> 00:23:49.000
enough. Yeah. So the next morning I spoke and

00:23:49.000 --> 00:23:52.839
I felt like I needed to start talking about the

00:23:52.839 --> 00:23:55.779
glory because that's what Pastor Tony had started

00:23:55.779 --> 00:24:00.559
with. took it a little bit further into 2 Corinthians

00:24:00.559 --> 00:24:04.079
3, where it's talking about going from glory

00:24:04.079 --> 00:24:07.660
to glory. And we talked about how the new covenant

00:24:07.660 --> 00:24:10.960
is operating in our lives and his word being

00:24:10.960 --> 00:24:14.339
written in our hearts, at the fleshy tables of

00:24:14.339 --> 00:24:17.880
our hearts instead of in stone. And we talked

00:24:17.880 --> 00:24:21.759
about, let me just read 2 Corinthians 3 and verse

00:24:21.759 --> 00:24:24.880
18. I'm reading from the Amplified Classic. And

00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:28.809
all of us, As with unveiled face, because we

00:24:28.809 --> 00:24:31.869
continued to behold in the word of God as in

00:24:31.869 --> 00:24:34.809
a mirror, the glory of the Lord are constantly

00:24:34.809 --> 00:24:39.890
being transfigured into his very own image in

00:24:39.890 --> 00:24:43.230
ever increasing splendor and from one degree

00:24:43.230 --> 00:24:46.210
of glory to another. For this comes from the

00:24:46.210 --> 00:24:49.589
Lord who is the spirit. And we were talking about.

00:24:49.960 --> 00:24:53.079
This Greek word for transfigured or transformed,

00:24:53.460 --> 00:24:58.460
it's the word metamorpho. And it refers to the

00:24:58.460 --> 00:25:01.759
kind of transformation like a caterpillar into

00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:05.039
a butterfly. Yeah. Where it's a completely different

00:25:05.039 --> 00:25:08.400
creature. We're meant to be new creatures in

00:25:08.400 --> 00:25:11.279
Christ. We're not supposed to look like the old.

00:25:11.359 --> 00:25:13.299
We're not supposed to sound like the old person

00:25:13.299 --> 00:25:17.559
that was unredeemed. But as we're drawing closer

00:25:17.559 --> 00:25:19.720
and closer and closer to him, we're getting more

00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:22.819
and more glory and to be more and more like him.

00:25:23.299 --> 00:25:27.119
And you see that in Galatians 5, where it talks

00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:30.039
about the works of the flesh and how the Spirit

00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:34.029
is working. his fruit in us, the fruit of his

00:25:34.029 --> 00:25:38.029
presence, that turns us into Christ -like creatures.

00:25:38.430 --> 00:25:42.109
And that when you have a caterpillar that goes

00:25:42.109 --> 00:25:47.789
into the chrysalis, they absolutely are like...

00:25:48.999 --> 00:25:52.220
digested down into green goo. Yeah, we opened

00:25:52.220 --> 00:25:55.740
one once as kids, I remember. And there's nothing

00:25:55.740 --> 00:25:59.259
in that at that stage that looks like either

00:25:59.259 --> 00:26:02.319
a caterpillar or a butterfly. Everything has

00:26:02.319 --> 00:26:05.839
to die. Green slime. Green slime. But there's

00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:11.859
a structure in the caterpillar that has the DNA

00:26:11.859 --> 00:26:16.559
of the butterfly. It's there hidden in the caterpillar.

00:26:16.990 --> 00:26:20.049
But everything that is of the fleshly nature

00:26:20.049 --> 00:26:24.650
of the caterpillar has to be like digested. Don't

00:26:24.650 --> 00:26:28.390
we have the DNA in Jesus when we get... Exactly.

00:26:28.829 --> 00:26:33.170
Exactly. That is the point. We shall be changed.

00:26:33.390 --> 00:26:36.650
Right. Metamorpho. Right. Greek word. Right.

00:26:36.710 --> 00:26:40.369
And so when you run around thinking, oh, I want

00:26:40.369 --> 00:26:42.049
to be a butterfly. Oh, I want to be a butterfly.

00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:46.519
You have to realize that there is a process where

00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:50.339
you have to die to all of these things that are

00:26:50.339 --> 00:26:53.119
the fleshly nature. All of those things that

00:26:53.119 --> 00:26:55.160
are listed as the works of the flesh, you know,

00:26:55.180 --> 00:26:59.740
all of the outbursts of anger and jealousy. You

00:26:59.740 --> 00:27:01.539
know, of course, sexual immorality and all those

00:27:01.539 --> 00:27:04.940
things, too. You know, everything has to go and

00:27:04.940 --> 00:27:09.559
everything can go and will go as we cooperate

00:27:09.559 --> 00:27:14.519
with the Holy Spirit who is working in us to

00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:17.799
push the flesh out of the way so that we're becoming

00:27:17.799 --> 00:27:20.539
more and more like Jesus, which is going from

00:27:20.539 --> 00:27:22.400
glory to glory. You don't get there suddenly.

00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:26.079
That's right. I mean, you know, Jesus was transfigured

00:27:26.079 --> 00:27:30.220
before his disciples. and met Elijah and Moses

00:27:30.220 --> 00:27:33.200
on the Mount of Transfiguration. But it was for

00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:36.380
a brief moment. And sometimes we have those moments

00:27:36.380 --> 00:27:39.599
of glory when the Holy Ghost comes down and,

00:27:39.640 --> 00:27:43.619
oh, God does amazing things. And then we just

00:27:43.619 --> 00:27:47.740
kind of become ordinary people again. But there's

00:27:47.740 --> 00:27:51.700
a process where he's making saints out of us.

00:27:52.319 --> 00:27:54.700
That's what he's doing. He's consecrating us

00:27:54.700 --> 00:27:58.460
to himself more and more and more and more. And

00:27:58.460 --> 00:28:01.380
it's a series of saying, will you give me that?

00:28:02.000 --> 00:28:04.180
I want to give you something else in exchange.

00:28:05.359 --> 00:28:08.119
Wouldn't you rather have love than an outburst

00:28:08.119 --> 00:28:11.180
of rage? Wouldn't you rather have patience than

00:28:11.180 --> 00:28:14.299
jealousy? Wouldn't you rather have the things

00:28:14.299 --> 00:28:17.660
that I have to offer instead of... the fleshly

00:28:17.660 --> 00:28:19.859
nature that causes people to become offended.

00:28:20.640 --> 00:28:23.480
Especially, you know, here we are supposed to

00:28:23.480 --> 00:28:26.779
be Christians and we have a flesh flash. And,

00:28:27.079 --> 00:28:30.039
you know, it's off -putting. You just, people

00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:33.539
don't like that. And then we start feeling badly

00:28:33.539 --> 00:28:35.640
ourselves about it because we don't like it.

00:28:35.680 --> 00:28:38.019
We don't want other people to do that to us.

00:28:38.400 --> 00:28:41.339
That's where repentance comes in. And the quicker

00:28:41.339 --> 00:28:45.700
you repent, the faster you will get back to the

00:28:45.700 --> 00:28:48.579
glory. Yeah, that's good. And into the things

00:28:48.579 --> 00:28:51.200
of the Spirit. So those were just some of the

00:28:51.200 --> 00:28:55.140
ideas that came forth in that message. And then

00:28:55.140 --> 00:28:59.119
Pastor Tony had the final message, and that was,

00:28:59.339 --> 00:29:03.559
he preached for about five minutes. And he said,

00:29:03.660 --> 00:29:05.839
okay, that's enough of that. There's people here

00:29:05.839 --> 00:29:08.579
that need to be healed. And he just had word

00:29:08.579 --> 00:29:11.019
of knowledge after word of knowledge, and people

00:29:11.019 --> 00:29:17.980
came forward. What a gift. tumors were disappearing

00:29:17.980 --> 00:29:20.839
and pain was going away from this and that. And

00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:24.660
it was just, it was absolutely glorious the way

00:29:24.660 --> 00:29:27.240
that the Lord met people and brought healing.

00:29:27.400 --> 00:29:30.740
It was really tremendous. The other thing I wanted

00:29:30.740 --> 00:29:33.220
to mention that we rolled out, shall we say,

00:29:33.319 --> 00:29:36.579
at the convention, the Lord put it on our hearts.

00:29:36.700 --> 00:29:38.700
Well, I'll just give you a little backstory.

00:29:39.460 --> 00:29:44.849
On December 31st, 2024, We were having our staff

00:29:44.849 --> 00:29:48.430
devotions, and we were singing that song. And

00:29:48.430 --> 00:29:50.349
I think we've told this story before, but we

00:29:50.349 --> 00:29:52.829
were singing that song day and night, night and

00:29:52.829 --> 00:29:57.230
day. Let incense arise. And the Holy Spirit was

00:29:57.230 --> 00:29:59.809
just heavy on it. And the Lord spoke to Mary

00:29:59.809 --> 00:30:05.130
Lois on our staff, and he said, I want that in

00:30:05.130 --> 00:30:07.650
Engeltal. Now, Engeltal is the name of our headquarters.

00:30:07.809 --> 00:30:10.029
It means Valley of Angels in the German language.

00:30:10.990 --> 00:30:14.769
And he said, I want that in Angletal. Now, prior

00:30:14.769 --> 00:30:18.329
to that, I had had several reports from Catherine

00:30:18.329 --> 00:30:20.789
James, who was answering the phones at the time,

00:30:20.789 --> 00:30:23.849
saying intercessors were calling and saying,

00:30:23.910 --> 00:30:26.750
we want to come to Angletal to pray and draw

00:30:26.750 --> 00:30:29.109
from this great well of intercession that's here

00:30:29.109 --> 00:30:32.829
in this valley. And in my mind, I would go to.

00:30:34.190 --> 00:30:36.450
we need to do an event. We need to do a prayer

00:30:36.450 --> 00:30:39.589
event. How can we do a prayer event? We don't

00:30:39.589 --> 00:30:42.910
have a cook to take care of the people. And I'm

00:30:42.910 --> 00:30:45.730
thinking, well, I guess we could call a fast

00:30:45.730 --> 00:30:48.329
or something. Have a three -day fast and have

00:30:48.329 --> 00:30:51.269
people come. But I would kind of dismiss it because

00:30:51.269 --> 00:30:54.289
I couldn't see how it could work. So that's the

00:30:54.289 --> 00:30:56.910
backstory. Then the Lord spoke to Mary Lois,

00:30:56.910 --> 00:31:00.329
I want day and night intercession in Angletall.

00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:03.690
And she said, Lord, how shall we do it? And he

00:31:03.690 --> 00:31:06.589
said, take the house where Philip and I lived

00:31:06.589 --> 00:31:09.150
for over 20 years. We raised our daughter there.

00:31:09.890 --> 00:31:14.589
And make that a place where people can come,

00:31:14.789 --> 00:31:17.690
bring their own groceries, cook for themselves,

00:31:17.769 --> 00:31:20.470
and they can pray in our chapel where there's

00:31:20.470 --> 00:31:23.089
a tremendous flowing of the Holy Spirit in that

00:31:23.089 --> 00:31:25.190
place. There's a tremendous well of intercession

00:31:25.190 --> 00:31:28.579
there. And they can come for three days up to

00:31:28.579 --> 00:31:31.819
two weeks and just soak in the presence of the

00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:35.799
Lord and pray and intercede and bring forth that

00:31:35.799 --> 00:31:39.839
intercession incense before the Lord. So that

00:31:39.839 --> 00:31:43.119
was New Year's Eve. And then just a few days

00:31:43.119 --> 00:31:45.779
later, I was speaking with Valerie Melroy, who

00:31:45.779 --> 00:31:49.380
is on our board of directors. And she was telling

00:31:49.380 --> 00:31:53.619
me about how Their branch of our membership,

00:31:53.740 --> 00:31:56.019
their branch is so spread out in Pennsylvania

00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:59.940
that they meet once a month by Zoom. And it hit

00:31:59.940 --> 00:32:02.900
me like, oh, we could have been doing this all

00:32:02.900 --> 00:32:05.339
along. We could have been having a Zoom call.

00:32:05.480 --> 00:32:10.200
So we immediately set up a time where people,

00:32:10.400 --> 00:32:12.839
particularly members, but it's not exclusively

00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:16.700
to members, could come together in a Zoom call

00:32:16.700 --> 00:32:19.920
once a month just to get to know each other better.

00:32:20.279 --> 00:32:23.759
And we're calling it network connection. So that

00:32:23.759 --> 00:32:25.660
was something that was established at that point.

00:32:25.720 --> 00:32:29.799
But the reason for her call was to say, Sharon,

00:32:29.880 --> 00:32:32.460
I feel like now remember, she's a board member

00:32:32.460 --> 00:32:36.319
and she's a strategist. I feel like we need to

00:32:36.319 --> 00:32:40.180
have a strategic plan for global outpouring.

00:32:40.900 --> 00:32:44.880
And honestly, I was never particularly educated

00:32:44.880 --> 00:32:50.750
on what that is. You and me both. She explained

00:32:50.750 --> 00:32:53.869
to me how one of the people that we knew as a

00:32:53.869 --> 00:32:57.269
child who was actually in our wedding has grown

00:32:57.269 --> 00:33:02.349
up to become an expert in creating strategic

00:33:02.349 --> 00:33:05.329
plans and helping with marketing and that kind

00:33:05.329 --> 00:33:08.809
of thing. And she's just a delightful, spirit

00:33:08.809 --> 00:33:12.349
-filled woman of God. And so we reconnected with

00:33:12.349 --> 00:33:15.950
her to create a strategic plan. So we put together

00:33:15.950 --> 00:33:21.269
a committee. started this process. And so we

00:33:21.269 --> 00:33:24.549
rolled out what we've got so far of the process

00:33:24.549 --> 00:33:27.470
of the strategic plan. And I just want to share

00:33:27.470 --> 00:33:30.869
with you a little bit about that. And just as

00:33:30.869 --> 00:33:34.470
another backstory, the Lord gave us a mandate.

00:33:34.809 --> 00:33:40.549
I think it was middle of 2019. The Lord spoke

00:33:40.549 --> 00:33:43.009
through Etienne Blom and said, he showed him

00:33:43.009 --> 00:33:46.849
a banner flying by that said facelift. And the

00:33:46.849 --> 00:33:49.309
Lord said, end time handmaidens needs a facelift.

00:33:49.470 --> 00:33:52.410
So we sought the Lord on that. And the Lord spoke

00:33:52.410 --> 00:33:56.329
to or gave a vision to Rona Sporopoulos of a

00:33:56.329 --> 00:33:59.690
shield that had a ribbon across it that said

00:33:59.690 --> 00:34:04.670
Joel 228 and underneath it said mandate. So when

00:34:04.670 --> 00:34:08.150
the word of the Lord came later that year, a

00:34:08.150 --> 00:34:10.090
few months later, that we needed to change our

00:34:10.090 --> 00:34:15.059
name, I began seeking the Lord. What is it? you

00:34:15.059 --> 00:34:17.619
know, what's this new name? And some years prior

00:34:17.619 --> 00:34:21.059
to that, I think it was years, maybe it was the

00:34:21.059 --> 00:34:23.440
same year, maybe it was a previous year, the

00:34:23.440 --> 00:34:26.039
Lord had spoken through, I believe it was the

00:34:26.039 --> 00:34:29.960
Lord, Claren McQueen gave us the word from Hebrew

00:34:29.960 --> 00:34:32.860
about when the Lord says, I will pour out of

00:34:32.860 --> 00:34:35.739
my spirit on all flesh, that word pour isn't

00:34:35.739 --> 00:34:40.239
like a pitcher pouring out water or wine or whatever.

00:34:40.739 --> 00:34:44.199
It's more like Niagara Falls. It's that kind

00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:50.119
of a continuous, thunderous, huge, huge kind

00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.860
of an outpouring that never stops. Never stops.

00:34:53.079 --> 00:34:56.559
Never stops. And so from that time on, I was

00:34:56.559 --> 00:34:59.099
looking. Every time we'd go to Niagara Falls,

00:34:59.260 --> 00:35:02.260
we have a house there. The ministry has a house

00:35:02.260 --> 00:35:05.760
there. And we lived there for a year. Yeah. So

00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:09.099
we were used to... as the traffic sounds would

00:35:09.099 --> 00:35:12.880
die down, we would hear this roar in the background.

00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:19.059
You could hear this continuous roar. And to me,

00:35:19.079 --> 00:35:22.440
it was so exciting to hear that the outpouring

00:35:22.440 --> 00:35:25.559
of the Holy Spirit is something like that. Yeah,

00:35:25.579 --> 00:35:29.000
powerful. And to have the privilege of living

00:35:29.000 --> 00:35:31.579
there in Niagara Falls, New York. Yeah, and every

00:35:31.579 --> 00:35:34.260
time we try to do a... recording right by the

00:35:34.260 --> 00:35:38.199
falls. What were the decibels? 110? I don't remember.

00:35:38.360 --> 00:35:40.699
It was very high. The decibels were so high you

00:35:40.699 --> 00:35:43.619
couldn't even do a recording real close. Yeah,

00:35:43.659 --> 00:35:46.019
I kept trying to record with my phone, you know.

00:35:46.099 --> 00:35:49.119
I'd hold the phone in front of my face, getting

00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:53.199
a picture of this roaring waterfall. I would

00:35:53.199 --> 00:35:58.500
repeat Joel 2, 28 and 29. And the roar was so

00:35:58.500 --> 00:36:01.219
loud you couldn't hardly hear my voice. Yeah.

00:36:01.719 --> 00:36:04.179
Even though I was right in front of the microphone.

00:36:05.340 --> 00:36:08.800
Absolutely. I mean, that's the roar. That's the

00:36:08.800 --> 00:36:12.099
outpouring. So when we were waiting on the Lord

00:36:12.099 --> 00:36:15.440
about what is this new name, I felt like the

00:36:15.440 --> 00:36:19.460
Lord took me back to Joel 2 .28, and I read it

00:36:19.460 --> 00:36:22.360
over and over and over until I realized that,

00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:26.760
well, would you read it, Philip? And it shall

00:36:26.760 --> 00:36:29.360
come to pass afterward that I will pour out my

00:36:29.360 --> 00:36:33.380
spirit on all humanity. Your sons and your daughters

00:36:33.380 --> 00:36:36.400
shall prophesy. Your old men shall dream dreams.

00:36:36.599 --> 00:36:40.139
Your young men shall see visions. Joel 2 .28.

00:36:40.579 --> 00:36:43.960
So as I read it over and over, I realized that

00:36:43.960 --> 00:36:46.920
the sons and daughters prophesying and the old

00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:48.679
men dreaming dreams and the young men seeing

00:36:48.679 --> 00:36:52.599
visions had to do with the outpouring of his

00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:55.699
spirit. Yeah. So I knew it had to have that word

00:36:55.699 --> 00:36:58.119
outpouring. Well, as we took it to the board.

00:36:58.750 --> 00:37:01.070
of directors, and we prayed about it for three

00:37:01.070 --> 00:37:04.429
days. Don James came back and said, I believe

00:37:04.429 --> 00:37:06.889
it's supposed to be Global Outpouring. And we

00:37:06.889 --> 00:37:09.190
went out to the internet and discovered that

00:37:09.190 --> 00:37:12.329
the domain names, globaloutpouring .com, globaloutpouring

00:37:12.329 --> 00:37:15.070
.org, globaloutpouring .net, globaloutpouring

00:37:15.070 --> 00:37:19.170
.us were all available. And so we scooped them

00:37:19.170 --> 00:37:21.630
up. We knew that that was a confirmation that

00:37:21.630 --> 00:37:24.570
this is our new name. So that's how we got started

00:37:24.570 --> 00:37:29.289
on it. So our mandate for this ministry is this

00:37:29.289 --> 00:37:33.250
global outpouring, this outpouring that was prophesied

00:37:33.250 --> 00:37:37.289
in Joel 2 .28. And then, you know, we gave this

00:37:37.289 --> 00:37:40.349
little brief history of how our founder started

00:37:40.349 --> 00:37:45.190
out as a missionary to China in 1947. Then in

00:37:45.190 --> 00:37:49.929
1963, she had this time of fasting and the 21

00:37:49.929 --> 00:37:53.179
-day fast that... brought a new anointing into

00:37:53.179 --> 00:37:55.260
her life, where everywhere she went from then

00:37:55.260 --> 00:37:57.920
on, revival fire followed her everywhere she

00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:03.840
went. And then in 1970, she was fasting again,

00:38:03.920 --> 00:38:07.159
and the Lord spoke to her through a prophet that

00:38:07.159 --> 00:38:09.380
you are raised up of God to call out the end

00:38:09.380 --> 00:38:11.860
-time handmaidens. And of course, that refers

00:38:11.860 --> 00:38:15.800
to Joel 2 .29. that goes on talking about what

00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:18.119
happens in the outpouring that on my servants

00:38:18.119 --> 00:38:20.239
and my handmaidens will I pour out of my spirit

00:38:20.239 --> 00:38:24.239
and they shall prophesy. Then in 2019, we received

00:38:24.239 --> 00:38:27.159
this mandate to change our name. And now here

00:38:27.159 --> 00:38:32.400
we are in 2025, taking a new look at where are

00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:37.659
we going and celebrating these 50. conventions.

00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:40.559
So the process, and we're not quite finished

00:38:40.559 --> 00:38:43.179
with it, but it's supposed to be a total of three

00:38:43.179 --> 00:38:45.360
months and it probably should have happened a

00:38:45.360 --> 00:38:48.440
little faster, but we were very careful with

00:38:48.440 --> 00:38:52.460
our committee to pray into and get a consensus

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:56.400
of what is the Lord saying. And so we just made

00:38:56.400 --> 00:38:58.880
a commitment to hear and to honor what the Lord

00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:02.300
was saying. And then we came up with this mission

00:39:02.300 --> 00:39:06.449
statement, encountering Jesus. engaging people

00:39:06.449 --> 00:39:10.750
so that is what we do and i i think that's so

00:39:10.750 --> 00:39:14.170
clearly spelled out in what happened at the convention

00:39:14.170 --> 00:39:17.610
that here's all these people came together to

00:39:17.610 --> 00:39:21.130
encounter jesus yes and as we go out from there

00:39:21.130 --> 00:39:23.630
we're ready to engage people and one of the things

00:39:23.630 --> 00:39:25.869
that i talked about was and i've mentioned it

00:39:25.869 --> 00:39:29.880
on the podcast before of this um praying effectively

00:39:29.880 --> 00:39:33.780
for the lost, that we get a heart for the lost.

00:39:34.019 --> 00:39:36.699
When the Lord spoke to me, giving us the new

00:39:36.699 --> 00:39:40.420
name of global outpouring, I was really waiting

00:39:40.420 --> 00:39:43.420
on him. And he spoke to me, don't pray for the

00:39:43.420 --> 00:39:46.480
outpouring, pray for my heart for the outpouring.

00:39:46.820 --> 00:39:49.179
And more recently, I mean, I've been praying

00:39:49.179 --> 00:39:53.840
that prayer ever since 2019. And I haven't really

00:39:53.840 --> 00:39:57.940
gotten any fresh revelation until recently. where

00:39:57.940 --> 00:40:00.320
I realized that his heart for the outpouring

00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:03.980
is a heart for the lost. And how Sister Gwen,

00:40:04.159 --> 00:40:08.340
in her early days, was all about being quite

00:40:08.340 --> 00:40:13.079
evangelistic. She took a tent across India evangelistically.

00:40:13.219 --> 00:40:16.400
And when she came to the States, all of a sudden

00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:20.760
her message changed, I think. Not so much about

00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:23.360
the loss, but it was about preparing the bride

00:40:23.360 --> 00:40:26.739
and about helping people go deeper in their walk

00:40:26.739 --> 00:40:31.579
with God. And so that's kind of where our hearts

00:40:31.579 --> 00:40:34.880
are in this idea of our mission, that we encounter

00:40:34.880 --> 00:40:39.280
Jesus and then we engage people. That's what

00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:41.519
he has on his heart for us to be doing. That's

00:40:41.519 --> 00:40:45.800
what we do. And then our purpose is sharing the

00:40:45.800 --> 00:40:49.019
Father's love for humanity. Because his love

00:40:49.019 --> 00:40:51.980
for humanity is what makes him pour out his spirit

00:40:51.980 --> 00:40:55.420
on all humanity. And so that's why we do what

00:40:55.420 --> 00:40:59.420
we do. Our purpose is to share our father's love

00:40:59.420 --> 00:41:02.059
for humanity. So many people just think that

00:41:02.059 --> 00:41:07.599
he's some mean old man in the sky that is waiting

00:41:07.599 --> 00:41:10.179
to strike you with a thunderbolt, a lightning

00:41:10.179 --> 00:41:13.239
bolt, when you do something wrong, which is not

00:41:13.239 --> 00:41:17.889
his. way at all. He is our father and he loves

00:41:17.889 --> 00:41:21.070
us dearly. If you are a parent, you know what

00:41:21.070 --> 00:41:24.250
it's like to, no matter what your children are

00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:27.789
doing that's wrong, you still love them and you

00:41:27.789 --> 00:41:30.110
want to engage with them and you want to help

00:41:30.110 --> 00:41:33.010
them. You want to help them with their life.

00:41:33.210 --> 00:41:36.269
I remember when our daughter was little. the

00:41:36.269 --> 00:41:38.309
things that I would do for her, all of a sudden

00:41:38.309 --> 00:41:40.170
there was a turning point where I want to do

00:41:40.170 --> 00:41:44.110
it myself. And it kind of hurts as a parent.

00:41:44.389 --> 00:41:46.750
Well, I wanted to help you. I wanted to do that

00:41:46.750 --> 00:41:49.250
together. But no, no, I want to do it myself.

00:41:49.510 --> 00:41:51.849
And that's our father's heart. You know, how

00:41:51.849 --> 00:41:54.809
much is he hurt by all of us trying to do things

00:41:54.809 --> 00:41:58.769
by ourselves instead of engaging with him? So

00:41:58.769 --> 00:42:02.070
our core values or how we do what we do, our

00:42:02.070 --> 00:42:06.400
core values is that we want to serve in truth

00:42:06.400 --> 00:42:10.980
and humility and compassion. It's so important

00:42:10.980 --> 00:42:15.400
that we be bearers of truth, that we're true

00:42:15.400 --> 00:42:18.780
to ourselves and that we're true to others, that

00:42:18.780 --> 00:42:21.300
we can speak the truth in love and we can speak

00:42:21.300 --> 00:42:23.900
the truth in humility and we can be moved with

00:42:23.900 --> 00:42:27.679
the compassion of the Lord. So our vision is

00:42:27.679 --> 00:42:30.780
the whole earth experiencing the presence of

00:42:30.780 --> 00:42:34.539
Holy Spirit. And that's partnering with the mandate

00:42:34.539 --> 00:42:38.699
of the outpouring. So that's our vision. We want

00:42:38.699 --> 00:42:40.940
to see the whole earth experiencing the presence

00:42:40.940 --> 00:42:46.380
of the Holy Spirit. So our future is, you know,

00:42:46.400 --> 00:42:49.019
we're looking for people to partner with us in

00:42:49.019 --> 00:42:51.320
all of these things that I'm going to share.

00:42:52.079 --> 00:42:55.179
Intercession is probably the number one thing.

00:42:56.230 --> 00:42:58.670
Intercession, because, you know, he gave us these

00:42:58.670 --> 00:43:01.309
words, contend, equip, engage. And we use it

00:43:01.309 --> 00:43:04.750
every podcast that we're contending for the outpouring,

00:43:04.769 --> 00:43:06.530
we're equipping for the outpouring so that we

00:43:06.530 --> 00:43:09.269
can engage in the outpouring. But the contending

00:43:09.269 --> 00:43:14.639
is intercession. And so. That is a major core

00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.039
thing that we're going to keep moving forward

00:43:17.039 --> 00:43:20.480
with. It's what we've been known for in the whole

00:43:20.480 --> 00:43:23.480
existence of this ministry. Previously, intercession

00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:27.159
is a major, major piece. Of course, we're grateful

00:43:27.159 --> 00:43:29.320
for financial support, and we need financial

00:43:29.320 --> 00:43:32.079
support. I don't like to talk about it. I want

00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.800
to be like George Mueller and move men by God

00:43:34.800 --> 00:43:38.500
through prayer alone. Sometimes men need help.

00:43:39.699 --> 00:43:43.460
Yeah, sometimes people... don't get it. They're

00:43:43.460 --> 00:43:45.579
not hearing the Holy Spirit, so they need to

00:43:45.579 --> 00:43:49.780
know what the needs are. Missions. We love the

00:43:49.780 --> 00:43:52.840
nations, and I just loved how God brought the

00:43:52.840 --> 00:43:56.400
nations to this convention to illustrate that

00:43:56.400 --> 00:43:59.699
that is our heart. And if you go to the YouTube

00:43:59.699 --> 00:44:03.260
channel, you'll see that we had flags up all

00:44:03.260 --> 00:44:06.250
over the room. flags of the nations. We couldn't

00:44:06.250 --> 00:44:08.309
begin to put all of our flags up because the

00:44:08.309 --> 00:44:12.349
room was too small. But that is what God has

00:44:12.349 --> 00:44:15.630
put on our hearts. We have flags from the nations

00:44:15.630 --> 00:44:18.809
where our members have gone and ministered. So

00:44:18.809 --> 00:44:21.190
we love the nations, and we love missions, and

00:44:21.190 --> 00:44:23.909
we want to encourage people to go to the nations.

00:44:24.150 --> 00:44:27.710
We actually are sort of partnering with, I would

00:44:27.710 --> 00:44:30.969
say, their sister ministries with World Missions

00:44:30.969 --> 00:44:34.300
Alliance. A lot of our people go to the nations

00:44:34.300 --> 00:44:36.900
with World Missions Alliance on short -term missions.

00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:40.420
We also have another missionary group that is

00:44:40.420 --> 00:44:42.760
headed up by people who are members, and that's

00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:45.599
CMM, Christ's Mandate for Missions. We'll put

00:44:45.599 --> 00:44:49.989
a link to their website there. We just want to

00:44:49.989 --> 00:44:52.849
help people obey God in going to the nations.

00:44:53.070 --> 00:44:56.809
And we have our retreat center here at Angletal.

00:44:56.929 --> 00:44:59.590
You know, we're open to having retreats here

00:44:59.590 --> 00:45:02.889
and welcoming, as I mentioned earlier, about

00:45:02.889 --> 00:45:06.789
our people coming here to intercede. And, you

00:45:06.789 --> 00:45:09.230
know, we're open even to the possibility of people

00:45:09.230 --> 00:45:12.880
coming here with a retreat of their own. And

00:45:12.880 --> 00:45:15.300
we have family and youth events. We've got our

00:45:15.300 --> 00:45:17.460
youth retreat coming up, but we call it Generation

00:45:17.460 --> 00:45:21.239
Awakening, July 9th through the 12th. And we'll

00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:26.079
put a link to that. If you are young, like mid

00:45:26.079 --> 00:45:29.980
-teens up through around age 30, young adults,

00:45:30.199 --> 00:45:34.239
teens, we want to encourage you in your calling

00:45:34.239 --> 00:45:38.099
and help to build you and equip you so that you

00:45:38.099 --> 00:45:41.079
can participate in the outpouring as well. And

00:45:41.079 --> 00:45:43.360
we have lots of resources. We have tremendous

00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:47.579
books and recordings and all kinds of treasures.

00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:50.719
And there's treasures in our archives that we

00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.239
haven't managed to get out there into YouTube

00:45:53.239 --> 00:45:56.679
or wherever that's really on our hearts to get

00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.179
our Bible school out there so that people can

00:45:59.179 --> 00:46:01.679
get trained wherever they are in the world. And

00:46:01.679 --> 00:46:04.500
of course, we have this podcast and we trust

00:46:04.500 --> 00:46:07.000
that you're enjoying it. And we have social media.

00:46:07.059 --> 00:46:10.159
These are ways that you can partner with us.

00:46:10.670 --> 00:46:13.289
in helping us to do the things that God has called

00:46:13.289 --> 00:46:15.690
us to do. And the other thing that we rolled

00:46:15.690 --> 00:46:19.670
out at this convention is we have our own app.

00:46:19.989 --> 00:46:23.530
Yes. And I'm really excited about this. We've

00:46:23.530 --> 00:46:29.170
connected with the ministry company, I guess

00:46:29.170 --> 00:46:32.289
you'd call it, called Tithely, and we are using

00:46:32.289 --> 00:46:36.079
them for processing. online donations already

00:46:36.079 --> 00:46:39.820
and they've developed an app for us. And so from

00:46:39.820 --> 00:46:43.219
that app, you can see our calendar and you can

00:46:43.219 --> 00:46:46.019
connect with our podcasts and you can shop in

00:46:46.019 --> 00:46:49.340
our bookstore and you can see our daily devotional

00:46:49.340 --> 00:46:51.780
that we have. It's pretty much the same stuff

00:46:51.780 --> 00:46:54.039
that's on our website, but it's easier to get

00:46:54.039 --> 00:46:58.619
to from this app. And we also have a prayer wall.

00:46:58.739 --> 00:47:00.599
I'm really excited about this. If you have a

00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:03.639
prayer request, you can get the app and sign

00:47:03.639 --> 00:47:06.599
in and post a prayer request and people will

00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:09.940
step up and pray for you. And I think that's

00:47:09.940 --> 00:47:13.739
just a huge, huge thing. And we can have groups

00:47:13.739 --> 00:47:16.960
where we can interact with one another in this

00:47:16.960 --> 00:47:19.119
app. And that's so easier than people calling

00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.440
in with a prayer request. You only have access

00:47:22.440 --> 00:47:25.360
to just a... handful of people right but this

00:47:25.360 --> 00:47:27.679
way intercessors that are out there can just

00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:30.139
yeah you know they go they get a burden and just

00:47:30.139 --> 00:47:33.519
go for it exactly and it's it's instant or almost

00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:36.159
instant you know somebody has to approve to put

00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.400
it up on the wall make sure that we don't get

00:47:38.400 --> 00:47:41.219
any goofy things up there but it's pretty much

00:47:41.219 --> 00:47:45.000
instant and then you've got instant prayer people

00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:48.119
are going to start responding so we've already

00:47:48.119 --> 00:47:51.599
had 70 people that have downloaded the app and

00:47:51.599 --> 00:47:55.280
just in a week, in a week's time, that really,

00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.820
really blessed me. And I just encourage you,

00:47:58.860 --> 00:48:02.519
so far, we have it in the Apple App Store. We're

00:48:02.519 --> 00:48:06.460
still waiting for the Google Play Console or

00:48:06.460 --> 00:48:10.000
whatever it is that regulates that. We are waiting

00:48:10.000 --> 00:48:12.280
for them to approve it. And as soon as they do,

00:48:12.420 --> 00:48:15.099
it will also be there so that it'll be available

00:48:15.099 --> 00:48:18.699
for Android phones as well as Apple phones. So

00:48:18.699 --> 00:48:21.800
we're really excited to see what God is doing

00:48:21.800 --> 00:48:25.159
moving forward. Yes. Amen. It's our kickoff.

00:48:25.219 --> 00:48:29.900
Yes. It's a brand new start. After a 12 -year

00:48:29.900 --> 00:48:33.599
transition. Yes. 12 -year holding pattern. Imagine

00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:36.900
sitting up in the sky in an airplane for a couple

00:48:36.900 --> 00:48:39.719
hours in a holding pattern. Yeah. But this has

00:48:39.719 --> 00:48:42.159
been about a 12 -year holding pattern. Yeah.

00:48:42.199 --> 00:48:44.659
Just waiting for things to work themselves out.

00:48:45.019 --> 00:48:48.949
Uh -huh. And we had our start. New start. Beautiful

00:48:48.949 --> 00:48:52.070
new start. So we encourage you to go out to the

00:48:52.070 --> 00:48:55.949
Global Outpouring YouTube channel and watch these

00:48:55.949 --> 00:48:58.909
videos as you're able. Some of them are long

00:48:58.909 --> 00:49:01.030
meetings, so you watch while you've got time

00:49:01.030 --> 00:49:02.610
and then come back and watch some more later

00:49:02.610 --> 00:49:04.130
and then come back and watch some more later.

00:49:04.469 --> 00:49:07.230
That's how I do with some of these long things

00:49:07.230 --> 00:49:09.929
that I want to listen to. So I just encourage

00:49:09.929 --> 00:49:14.739
you to take advantage of this treasure. It really

00:49:14.739 --> 00:49:19.500
was a wonderful feast of the Lord, and he called

00:49:19.500 --> 00:49:22.079
us together, and we'll just announce that we

00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.500
have dates for next year, and we'll be in St.

00:49:25.579 --> 00:49:27.860
Louis. I can't guarantee exactly where we'll

00:49:27.860 --> 00:49:30.699
be in St. Louis, but we have the dates. It's

00:49:30.699 --> 00:49:33.380
the same numbers, May 21st through 24th, but

00:49:33.380 --> 00:49:35.500
we're starting on Thursday and going through

00:49:35.500 --> 00:49:39.320
Sunday so that people who have jobs don't have

00:49:39.320 --> 00:49:42.679
to take off as much time from work. They can

00:49:42.679 --> 00:49:45.159
come in on Thursday night and they only have

00:49:45.159 --> 00:49:46.820
to take off Friday because they're already off

00:49:46.820 --> 00:49:49.659
the weekend and they can travel home on Memorial

00:49:49.659 --> 00:49:53.800
Day. And it's just going to be another glory

00:49:53.800 --> 00:49:57.300
time in the presence of the Lord. So put it on

00:49:57.300 --> 00:50:00.320
your calendar now and believe God for the ability

00:50:00.320 --> 00:50:03.179
to get here for this event and bring a friend

00:50:03.179 --> 00:50:05.940
or bring your family. We want to minister to

00:50:05.940 --> 00:50:08.269
the family. Or you can get yourself an envelope

00:50:08.269 --> 00:50:11.090
and every time you get a paycheck, put something

00:50:11.090 --> 00:50:14.750
in there. Yes. And just let it build up. And,

00:50:14.809 --> 00:50:18.630
you know, many people do that. Yeah. It's a very

00:50:18.630 --> 00:50:20.469
good way to do it. So we pay our car insurance.

00:50:20.690 --> 00:50:24.230
Yes. Like so much a month, you know. It's true.

00:50:24.510 --> 00:50:26.070
Well, Philip, do you want to close with prayer?

00:50:26.510 --> 00:50:29.610
Yes. Well, Father, we thank you for this restart,

00:50:29.889 --> 00:50:32.670
Lord. Yes. The messages that your people have

00:50:32.670 --> 00:50:35.550
brought forth, oh God, that just have a, they've,

00:50:36.059 --> 00:50:38.260
connected in that place with you, and now they're

00:50:38.260 --> 00:50:42.199
sharing their experiences, O God, and sharing

00:50:42.199 --> 00:50:45.280
your glory. So we thank you for your glory, Lord,

00:50:45.360 --> 00:50:48.420
which the knowledge of the Lord shall be over

00:50:48.420 --> 00:50:51.619
all the earth. Yes. And it's just getting there.

00:50:51.679 --> 00:50:53.980
Not all have the knowledge, but they're getting

00:50:53.980 --> 00:50:56.820
there. But the glory of the Lord is here. Yes.

00:50:56.840 --> 00:50:59.300
It's everywhere, and we're just... Lord, as our

00:50:59.300 --> 00:51:02.679
dedication to you opens it up even more. So we

00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:04.719
thank you that this podcast would be a blessing

00:51:04.719 --> 00:51:08.360
to those. And Lord, they have a desire, Lord,

00:51:08.420 --> 00:51:11.320
to get to know you more and more. In your name,

00:51:11.340 --> 00:51:14.460
Lord Jesus, whom we give all the glory. Amen.

00:51:15.099 --> 00:51:25.239
Amen. Please subscribe, rate, and review this
