during worship which was just
magnificent I had the Holy Spirit drop a
scripture into my spirit don’t the media
people are panicking right now because
they’re like we only have 800 scriptures
from you yeah you guys don’t have this
one okay I believe that we’re in a Micah
Chapter 4 verses 11 through 13 moment
this is what it says but for right now
they’re ganged up against you many
Godless people saying kick her when
she’s down violate her we want to see
Zion grovel in the dirt these
blasphemers have no idea what God is
thinking and doing in this they don’t
know that this is the making of God’s
people that they are wheat being
threshed and gold being refined and then
he says on your feet Daughters of Zion
be threshed of chaff be refined of droth
I am remaking you into a people
invincible
when the enemy comes in like a flood see
the truth is that God can use all things
to make his people invincible and
hardship is actually it’s actually the
best way to remake because I don’t like
that but struggle is strengthening and
when you go through something hard when
you go through an obstacle the obstacle
actually prepares you for the next
season I love that havla quoted Jeremiah
29 11 and I don’t know if there’d be any
reason why you would remember this but
last time I was here at Wonder on 2019 I
preached out of Jeremiah 29 11 and I
said to everybody that God has a plan
and the enemy has a scheme do you
understand that God has always had a
plan and he had a plan pre-coveted and
the plan in covet and the plan after
covet is always in God’s plan and God
has not changed his mind about the plan
that he has on your life it may look
different than what you thought but God
has a plan
and because God is in the process of
threshing and refining
I’m going to beg you as a godmother as a
woman who has seen God’s faithfulness
for 40 years of my marriage and 41 years
that I have served him I’m going to beg
you that we are going to have to
drastically change some of our
approaches
we’re going to have to be aware of what
is going on
Romans 13 verses 11 through 14 says but
make sure that you don’t get so absorbed
and exhausted and taking care of all
your day by day obligations that you
lose track of time and doze off
oblivious to God the night is about over
Don is about to break be up and awake to
what God is doing God is putting the
finishing touches on the Salvation work
he began when we first believed we can’t
afford to waste a minute must not
squander these precious daylight hours
in frivolity and Indulgence and social
media and sleeping around and
dissipation and bickering and grabbing
everything in sight
get out of bed get dressed don’t loiter
and linger waiting until the very last
minute dress yourself in Christ be up
and about
I’m watching what is happening
and I recently came across a book that
I’d actually read back in the early
2000s but I picked it up again and it
was talking about the seasons that we’re
in you know there’s a lot of people that
think that time is just chaotic and that
things just happen just like tomorrow
could be a completely different season
but we have learned that time is not
chaotic nor is it leaner time is
seasonal it goes in cycles and this is a
book called the fourth turnings it’s
actually mapping out by looking at
periods of time different seasons and
what this book is saying is that you and
I are in a season called winter and in
season of winter it is a season of
Crisis now it’s interesting this book
was written in 1997 and it said that in
this year we would be in a season of
winter a season of Crisis a season where
we have to be intentional with our
choices a season
that we can’t stop so you can’t stop
winter
but you can choose how you weather it
you can choose how you’re going to walk
through winter and I believe that we’re
in this season right now where it is
imperative that you and I walk wisely
that we live circumspectly that we walk
around every single word every single
decision that we have to make and we go
around it to live circumspectly means
you better walk around and look at this
from every single angle because every
choice you make you will revisit one
time so let’s make good choices so we
can revisit it with joy rather than poor
choices that will revisit later with
sadness and so I’m going to just stay a
little bit longer in the Book of Romans
because again I am Italian Romans 12 9
says Let Your Love be genuine
genuine
genuine means
it’s been tested genuine means it
doesn’t cave genuine means it is the
real deal let your love be genuine abhor
abhor that’s a strong word abhor what is
evil hold fast to what is good love one
another I’m going to say with sisterly
love sisterly affection outdo one
another and showing honor do you hear
that
showing honor
do you know how much dishonor is in our
culture it says outdo one another in
showing honor
we have to understand
we have to be a people of Honor
not because we think everybody is worthy
of our honor but because we are
honorable and so because we are
honorable we are going to honor those
who are made in God’s image and we’re
going to believe the best we’re going to
bless and not curse we’re going to do
good and not evil
so it says outdo one another and showing
honor do not be slothful in Zeal be
fervent in spirit serve the Lord and
then I’m going to jump down to verse 14.
Romans 12 14 says bless those who
persecute you bless and do not curse
them Rejoice with those who Rejoice weep
with those who weep live in harmony with
one another don’t be haughty but
associate with the lowly never be wise
in your own sight oops
that’s a never
like we don’t say never or always very
often in our house this is a never
be wise in your own sight
and that goes on to say repay no one
evil for evil but give thought to do
what is Honorable in the sight of all if
possible so far as it depends on you
live peaceably with all beloved never
avenge yourselves but leave it to the
wrath of God for it is written vengeance
is mine I will repay says the Lord
how many of you know women are under
attack right now
how many of you know that everything
we’re seeing is stripping feminine of
its value
everything we’re seeing like it doesn’t
even matter it’s all about sex there’s
no longer about Legacy there’s no longer
about beauty there’s no longer about
intimacy it’s stripping women of their
value every all this gender-changing
things I want you to know I had somebody
that I love and respect say if Jesus was
sitting right here with you and I and I
had a friend who said I feel like I was
born in the wrong body what would Jesus
say to her I said Jesus would say I love
you you are not a mistake I think you’re
amazing you are fearfully and
wonderfully made but he would also say
this place is not your home so you’re
never going to feel completely whole or
completely comfortable here because you
were made for an eternal realm you and I
are Daughters of Eternity that is what
we are and we are here passing through
and so we have to be very wise with how
we speak things because we don’t want to
be harsh or judging when people are so
broken
that they’re believing that they have to
make this massive change to heal
something that is intimately wounded
we have to understand that they’re
watching and waiting for you and I to
love one another well and if we can’t
even love one another well because we
disagree about some kind of doctrinal
thing
if we can’t love one another well then
God’s going to shake the entire body of
Christ
until we become one God’s going to shake
everything that can be shaken so that
which cannot be shaken will remain God
is in the process right now of shaking
and sifting and he is sifting and that’s
a good thing see I’d rather have God
shake some of the nonsense off of me now
then on the other side
I’d rather him say let’s let’s sift off
some of this sand Lisa to get to the
gold
he is sifting and he is Shifting he is
moving things into place he is watching
for the things that you do in private he
is saying what will she say when no one
is listening
what does she post when she thinks
nobody’s going to see it
we’ve got to be people who understand
that you and I have been gifted
with something more than we have any
capacity to realize
so I just got my dual citizenship so I
have now an Italian citizenship and a
U.S citizenship I’m doing a little
Duolingo I can say things like una
bicicleta which means one bicycle it’s
no I’m not fluid I’m not fluid at all
nobody like don’t ask me to translate
anything I can say like boy girl
drink water like that’s it I mean like I
am not fluid at all
but here’s what I would do if I actually
found out that I could somehow live in
Italy part-time
I would have to learn the language of
that land because Duolingo is not going
to be good enough so I’m gonna have to
be a little bit fluent in my motherland
but you and I
have an eternal home
and we have a different language and
that language that we have is so
powerful that it doesn’t just connect us
with people it connects us with another
realm you and I have been entrusted with
the Heavenly language it is called the
word of God and we have to be so fluent
in the word of God that when pressure
comes on us the word of God comes out of
our mouth that it becomes a two-edged
sword that rightly divides between
thought and infant
oh you guys I I can go into the word of
God thinking I am so right and then I
open up the scripture and it comes down
like a sword and it separates it and I’m
like oops I am not right I want to read
you a scripture from John chapter 3
verse 31 I’m gonna read it from the ESV
it says he who comes from above is above
all that’s Jesus
he who is of the earth belongs to the
Earth and speaks in a Earthly way
he who comes from Heaven is above all
the message says it this way the one who
comes from Heaven is Head and Shoulders
over other Messengers from God the
earthborn is Earth bound and speaks
Earth language the heaven board is in a
league of his own
we need to speak our way home we need to
speak Heaven’s language because when we
begin to speak the word of God we create
pathways you know I had an opportunity
to be part of a wisdom Challenge and I
thought yeah that sounds good I don’t
want to be part of a stupid challenge so
I got to do a wisdom Challenge and they
asked me to talk about proverbs 4 and
proverbs 4 is one of my favorite
Proverbs but it actually brings up the
principle that perversity of speech
leads to a perversity of ways that leads
to a perverse end see what we say
whether we realize it or not creates
Pathways and for too long we have become
familiar with the sacred we have been
casual with the words of our King we
have not been wise servants we have not
been faithful stewards because we just
kind of got a little loose with it
just like oh you know what we can just
kind of play around with it
well we’re not in playtime anymore
we’re in war
and in war
we need to be armed
and we need to be armed and we need to
be ready
one of my favorite quotes is one of the
quotes I use the very very first time I
ever came here for the Wonder conference
is a quote by Matthew Arnold and this is
what it says if ever there comes a time
when the women of the world come
together purely and simply for the
benefit of mankind they will be a force
such as the world has never known if
ever there comes a time when the women
of the world come together
see I believe
there’s just like havilah was saying
there’s a spirit of coming together not
of competing but coming together for the
benefit of mankind see God does not
bless what does not benefit all he does
not say well I’m going to bless my
daughters now and then I’ll bless my men
no God is always about blessing all all
that’s who he is he he sends the rain on
the just and the unjust it is his
goodness that leads us to repentance
so God is saying can I have a gathering
of women who are committed purely and
simply for the benefit of all because if
I have those kind of women
they will be a force such as the world
has never known and I believe that the
world is watching and waiting for the
revelation of the daughters of God
the daughters of God
see God doesn’t talk to us as boy or
girl
he calls us Sons and Daughters God is
prophesying into his daughters God is
waking up his daughters God is saying I
have something for you shake off your
grave close
unbury your talents remember who you are
I have called you by name you are mine I
have sealed you with my Holy Spirit I
have I have woes you as a bride that is
pure make yourself ready make yourself
ready see I feel like there is such a
stirring where we’re going to have to
constantly measure our steps not in a
fearful way but in an intentionality way
there is a way that I want to see in my
life that I’ve never had in my life
before I want to be like Samuel I want
God to say I’m going to put my word in
your mouth and not one of your words are
going to fall to the ground
that they will actually produce fruit
so I believe that we’ve got some gaps
that we need to close if we’re going to
see that happen
see the Gap is the difference between
the way things are
and the way they could be
the way your marriage is
and the way it could be the way your
children are and the way your children
should be there’s gaps in everybody’s
life and I remember when I first
discovered this gaping hole in my own
life
I got married and uh God like tricked me
and called me to minister to women when
I was like God I don’t even like women I
don’t like them I like guys guys say
what they mean mean what they say women
I just want to hit them they’re like
praise the Lord and then they gossip so
I don’t like women I don’t I’m not one
of them and I remember I was in a motel
now you know there’s a difference
between a hotel and a motel okay I was
in a motel and we had driven all day
with our two youngest boys John left me
in the motel and said you know lock the
door lock the door don’t nope don’t open
the door until I say it’s me and I’m
like okay and so I’m in this motel and
I’m waiting for John because back then
if Services got out before 11 you had
missed God I mean like we’re talking
about long Services we’re talking
starting at seven going to 11. I’m
children sleeping on the floor B
pretending like I was slain in the
spirit so I could sleep on the floor
like we’re talking log services
handing my children pieces of my jewelry
so they can play with it so they would
just sit because there was strange in
the nursery anyway I just remember I had
stayed back that night
and it was a Pentecost Pentecostal
Holiness Church in Rockingham North
Carolina and uh John knocks on the door
I open it and uh I said you know I’m
like I’m pregnant with my third son I’m
super tired I’m just like unlock the
door and I just Dove back into bed and
John’s laying in the bed and you know
you can tell when your husband’s awake
you’re like just go to sleep because I
want to go to sleep because you’re going
to snore and I need to like get through
the whole stage of the deep snoring and
then I’ll know I can say turn over and
then I can go to sleep so I’m waiting
for that and we’re in double beds where
it’s kind of like a ridge like you roll
into the to the middle thing so I’m like
up propped pregnant on one side and
finally John’s like the women are so
Bound in the church
and I said okay and he’s like yeah they
just need help and I’m like oh that’s
that’s sweet he’s like so uh I told the
pastor you would do a women’s meeting
tomorrow morning
yeah exactly
yeah
I mean I rolled into the ditch I was
like what are you talking about I don’t
like women I’m not doing a women’s
meeting he’s like I told the pastor you
were coming I gave him my word we you
don’t you like you can’t you can’t
change the good man swears to his own
hurt and changes and I’m like well then
you’re doing the women’s meeting I am
not doing the women’s meeting and I kept
up I kept him up to like 3 A.M huffing
angry hitting him like I can’t believe
you’ve done this to me and I have one
message one message one message
he had preached it that night so now I
have no message no message no message
so he gets the kids up takes them to
like Waffle House or something like that
and I’m alone and I’m crying out to God
and I’m like I can’t even believe this
I’m mad at my husband I’m mad at the
Pentecostal Holiness Pastor I’ve never
even met I’m mad at the women in the
church I’m mad I’m mad I’m just mad and
I’m like you know I don’t like women and
I hear God say I do
and he said
I actually created woman as the answer
to the very first problem and that is
it’s not good for man to be alone I
thought okay all right and I said but
you you never sent me a woman you never
sent me a woman to pour into me
like how am I supposed to pour out what
I don’t have and he said Lisa
for you they’ll never be that woman
but everything you wish another woman
would have been to you
you begin to be
I said I don’t know how to do it he said
write it backwards write it backwards
everything you wish you would have said
done prayed over you you write it down
and you begin to be that woman
and then I saw a chain coming down from
heaven and each of the lynx was like a
link of a necklace and then I thought
stop then I saw airspace then I saw just
a lone link
and I was noticing that airspace and he
said there’s been a breakdown from one
generation to the other he said but I
don’t want a mothering of pride
I want a mothering of Brokenness and he
said I’m going to have that last link
begin to cry out for what they are
missing say we can either get angry at
what other people weren’t for us
or we can write it backwards and we can
be the mothers that we never had
so I’m going to talk to you about what
it’s going to look like
for you to be a mama in the house of God
because mentors tend to reproduce
themselves
but mothers want more for their children
than they ever had themselves it is
mothers that will lay down life to bring
forth life and it is time for The Mamas
in the house to begin to lay down and
bring forth because I believe that I am
in the company of some elizabeths and I
believe that I am the company of some
Mary’s I believe we’ve got Daughters of
promise and mothers of the prophetic and
I believe in the last days we’re going
to have the prophetic and the promise
run together as one that we’re going to
begin to divinely Echo to one another be
it unto me according to your word and
blessed is she who believes that what
the Lord said he would do he will do God
is looking for this Divine echo in the
older women and the younger women
and I’m just going to tell you this
older woman thing happens way faster
than you think
I mean I used to be like the youngest
and I was always like the youngest and
all of a sudden I’m like what
I was just a gathering this week I could
have birthed everybody in the room I’m
like I mean that was like 57 maybe seven
of them I couldn’t have birthed legally
but I mean I was like what in the world
when did I become the older woman
when did this happen
but I’m 62. I’m 62.
which means
which means
I’m on home stretch okay I want you to
hear me on this
female
it’s beautiful
woman is a god-assigned designation and
a gift don’t for a second imagine that
woman was an afterthought she was always
part of God’s Divine Design from the
very beginning God created woman as an
answer to be embraced rather than a
problem to be controlled
male and female both are created in the
image of God male and female were woven
as a power Union not as a power struggle
God would never have given his daughters
a voice if he did not intend them to use
it
he did not mean for us to be silent in
the presence of one another
our voices should be used to attack the
Real Enemy rather than accuse an attack
one another
listen it wasn’t about the woman not
having a voice with the serpent it was
about the man and the woman Adam and Eve
using their voice on the serpent saying
it is written
we are at war in which male and female
are intimate allies rather than enemies
the enemy divides Us in the hope that we
will use our strengths against one
another and that is exactly what is
happening right now our misuse of
god-given dominion weighs heavily on our
creation the government the family and
our marriages
you know I was recently revisiting this
beautiful
Dynamic where Jesus is at Simon the
Pharisees house and a woman comes in and
she begins to anoint him and wash his
feet with her tears and wipe them with
her hair and everybody’s like okay she’s
not invited this is really awkward why
do we have a hoe in the room like what
is going on here like and it says it
says that
Jesus
looking at the woman but speaking to the
Pharisees
you know what we’re doing we’re not
anointing Jesus we’re not crying at his
feet we’re yelling at the Pharisees and
Jesus is like get your focus on me and I
will deal with the Pharisees in your
life but you have to obey Jesus and we
need to be wise and Winsome and winning
with our words which means we need to
speak the word of God
now I love that uh pavla kind of set me
up perfectly talking about some of the
things that are going on in our world
right now and I’m going to just use this
quote by Jill Churchill she said there
is no way I’m just going to say this
right now there’s no way to be a perfect
mother how many of you already
discovered that okay there’s no way to
be a perfect mother and a million ways
to be a good one
a million ways to be a good one and one
of the ways to be a good one is to be a
woke one my boys told me stop saying
that but I’m just going to tell you
right now that there is an original in
the Bible so they don’t get to take that
and hijack that term okay
I remember that I met this woman and I
thought
I need to be her
I need to be Deborah I need to sit under
a palm tree and judge people that sounds
like
something I was pre-anointed from my
mother’s womb to do
Senator and palm tree judge yes
I can sit on the toilet and judge people
on my phone under a palm tree it would
be so much easier
and I thought yeah and then she wasn’t
just the boss of the world judge that
was like highest Authority before Kings
but she was a prophetess okay like read
your mail and judge you I mean she’s got
the whole package there boss of the
world governmentally boss of the world
profit person yes I want to be Deborah I
found my Bible hero
because you know we only have like four
as women maybe five so we just all have
to make up new ones that they’re gonna
write about when we all get up in heaven
and they’ll be talking about us anyway
so I’m looking I’m looking at this uh
Deborah woman and I loved it until I
actually started really studying the
Bible
because everything has to kind of have
some context and I noticed that there
was Judge before Deborah who had judged
Israel for 80 years
his name was ehu and it said he ruled
Israel with a cattle prod that’s exactly
what you think and so anyway for 80
years he like prodded the people of God
and they obeyed as long as they were
being prodded 80 years of prosperity I’m
just going to tell you this the church
doesn’t necessarily grow stronger in
seasons of ease and prosperity
because as soon as he died the people
went right back to their idol worship
they were like remember when we used to
have sex in the woods let’s go back to
that sex you guys this is the kind of
read your Bible these are the kind of
things they talk about yeah they
wouldn’t want to go back to Bell worship
after us the polls anyway there and
God’s like really you guys are going to
do this again seriously look at judges
too they did it back then now we’re in
judges four and what does God do it says
in judges 4 verse 2 and the Lord sold
them into the hand of jaben king of
Canaan who reigned in hazar the
commander of his army was cesra who
lived in haresha goim then the people
have cried out to the Lord for help for
he had 900 Chariots of iron and he
oppressed oppressed the people of Israel
cruelly for 20 years
so what does it say God sold them
to their enemies
why
God will take us out
to get us to cry out and when we cry out
he brings us back it’s kind of a dual
purpose thing he deals with the Enemy
and he dealt with his people so he sold
them to a cruel oppressor for 20 years
I actually studied what that looked like
it said the people of Israel were afraid
to even go work in their fields because
they were so sure that the enemy would
attack them so they weren’t even tending
what they were entrusted with it said
that nothing came into the villages and
nothing went out of the villages
everything was cut off no trade routes
and what happens when people have no
purpose what happens when people are
isolated
well we’re seeing it
infighting
infighting you forget the enemy is out
there
and you think the enemy is in here you
think the enemy is somebody on social
media that didn’t like your post
unfollowed you or did not agree with
your momentary social justice issue that
you’re standing for this week you get
mad
but it’s really just a post you’re not
even doing anything
no I’m sorry you’re doing nothing
no you’re doing nothing
you’re just selling air
so they begin to infight and they’re mad
at each other and and I don’t know if
Deborah just was like that’s it like I I
know for me like my boys like they would
pair Two on Two and there would be like
wars in the house and then sometimes I
would just snap how I know you know this
and I would say that’s it everybody’s
getting spanked everybody right now
everybody
and and John might have just called to
say I love you and he’s hearing me I’m
spanking everyone and then he’s like
Lisa are you really gonna do that no
don’t lie to our children I’m like you
can’t tell me how to parent if you’re
not here I don’t know how Deborah felt I
don’t know if they were just like he
took my cow and
touched my I but she just snapped she
just snapped 20 years of Oppression 20
years of people afraid to dream afraid
to Hope afraid to take care of what was
their own
incredible economic turn down
and I don’t know if she just got tired
of watching her people be confused about
who the Real Enemy was
judges five seven seven in the new King
James version this is the Civilized
version says Village Life ceased it
ceased in Israel until I Deborah arose a
rose a mother in Israel
that’s that’s a nice version here’s the
n-e-t warriors were scarce they were
scarce in Israel until you arose Deborah
until you arose as a motherly protector
so we’ve gone from village life has
ceased to motherly protectors are needed
because Warriors are scarce that new
century version reads there were no
Warriors in Israel and to I Deborah
arose until I arose to be a mother in
Israel but this is my favorite the
message the Warriors became fat and
sloppy no fight left in them is covid
then you Deborah rose up you got up a
mother in Israel so I don’t know if
there were no Warriors or just a few fat
sloppy Warriors playing video games in
their parents basements
but everything changed
when Deborah arose
not a judge
not a prophetess
but a mother
she calls forth a prince who is hiding
in a city of Exile
do you hear that I have to wonder how
many of our sons and husbands are hiding
in the city of Exile
and refuge
and this is what she does she sent and
someone Barack the son of a benefit
from Kadesh naftali and said to him hath
not the Lord the god of Israel commanded
you go gather your men at Mount Tabor
taking ten thousand from the people of
naphtali and the people of Zebulon
but you know what
he pushes back
and he says
I’m not going to go
unless you go with me
and it’s a good thing that I was not
alive back then because I would have
said I am the boss of your world I said
go get 10 000 from here and ten thousand
from there don’t you act like this way
but here’s the truth
good leaders don’t pull rank good
leaders lend strength and so she said
okay
I’ll go with you and I just want you to
know
that some of you are going to go home
and you’re going to say to the men in
your world
has God not commanded you
and they’ll be like wait what are you
talking about I don’t
like put down the remote right now put
down the video player okay wow get
scared when they go to Bethel you put it
down
and then you don’t have to say get the
10 000 from over here and that you need
to say
has the Lord not commanded you
be strong and of good courage because
the Lord your God is with you be strong
and of good courage because the Lord
your God is with you be strong and of
good courage because the Lord your God
is with you and then there’s this crazy
battle with a crazy woman there’s a
crazy woman named JL or don’t I know
it’s supposed to be y’all in Hebrew but
anyway we’re American anyway so uh she
she like has this guy cesra
come to her tent for Refuge because her
husband was the Spy that told the king
that the Israelis were assembling but
here’s what happens when God begins to
do something all Earthly allegiances and
alliances are subject to change and what
happens is this woman who was formally
aligned with the Enemy she lures caesera
into asleep by giving him milk instead
of water and then when he’s asleep she
takes a tent Peg and she sticks it
through his head now I would have just
shot him but uh
that’s because I’m better with a gun
than I am with a tent Peg but here’s the
truth here’s the truth
God will always anoint
what you are already faithful with and
the women would set up the tents she was
used to taking those tent pegs and that
hammer and hammering it in she had
developed those muscles for years never
understanding that as she was setting up
her house she was taking out the enemy
and I don’t know how much closer the
enemy has to draw to your house before
you begin to take him out with whatever
God has put in your hands
I don’t know what’s in your hands but
you do
and if you’ve been casual with what’s
been entrusted if you’ve been playful
then you need to get skillful
get anointed and skillful with what God
has entrusted you with
instead of like havilah said looking
back to where you used to be or even may
I say looking too far into the future
God wants to anoint what you have access
to right now he looks at how you are
faithful with your right now to know how
you will be in the then
that’s how he looks he’s like will you
be faithful without which is little will
you be faithful with that which is
another’s because if you are faithful
with little and another’s then I can
trust you to be faithful with much so
God is looking for those kind of women
now I don’t want to talk anymore about
the bloody mess of JL but what I do want
to highlight is judges 5 verse 20 and 21
because see what happens is something
was happening on Earth while something
was happening in the heavenlies it says
from the heavens the Stars fought from
their courses they fought against Cicero
the river kishan swept them away the
age-old river the river kishan march on
my soul be strong
do you hear that
march on my soul be strong do you know
people follow courage
do you know I’ve never heard more people
talking about anxiety than right now
I’ve never heard more people talking
about emotional health and and all this
good and I’m not trying to make fun of
it you guys I just went through
menopause menopause is when an evil
woman lives in your head and she says
punch your husband in the face slap that
person on the airplane no no there’s you
have no idea it’s not just like being
premenstrual one day before your period
starts it’s years of premenstrual years
and I say no crazy woman you are not
going to take me emotional hostage oh
listen your emotions will lie to you
your feelings will lie to you
but the word of God won’t and you can’t
just think about it you got to open your
mouth and you got to say it do you know
you can talk to your soul
David said so
why are you downcast
put your hope in God
you will always be downcast when you
have misplaced hope you got to put your
hope in God not in the economy not in
the election not in your friends not in
your children not in your husband put
your hope in God because if we put our
hope in God It Won’t Be Shaken okay
we’ve got to put our hope in God we’ve
got to talk to our souls we got to
actually speak out loud you got to open
your mouth and sing when you open your
mouth and sing something in your spirit
opens up and God can get things that
he’s been wanting to get to you for
decades decades some of you I believe
there’s been things that God’s been
wanting to do in your family for decades
and he’s saying I’m just looking for one
person that will open up her mouth that
I will give a song in the night and when
I give her that song and she sings that
song I’m Gonna begin to shift things for
your family and God’s Gonna reorder the
disorder and the chaos and he’s going to
set you up to recover everything that’s
been lost everything
but we gotta open our mouths
and I’m not talking about reposting
that also doesn’t count
that doesn’t count
open
your spirit
we are singing open up the doors that’s
not talking about a physical door I was
talking about the door of your heart as
I’m at the door of your spirit that
we’ve got to open up and understand that
there’s times to dance and sing that
will make no sense but when we dance and
sing here something begins to shift in
the heavenlies
so Mamas are warriors
and we need mamas
whether you have never given birth
or whether you’ve given birth to 12
babies
we need mamas whether you are like me
post menopause
or whether you’re 12 years old
we need women
who want to be mothers who want to have
a mother’s heart
and then we all need to begin to say the
same thing
I love this example of the Tower of
Babel where God is looking down and
saying okay what are the people doing
now they’re what they’re going to build
a skyscraper to the heavens
and what does he say
well because the people are in one
Accord
and in one place
and they speak the same language
nothing will be impossible to them
you and I know that doesn’t seem
possible like come on they’re going to
hit the like atmosphere and they’re
going to lose air like
but God’s like nope no
one Accord
one place one language
well there’s a bunch of languages
my husband and I have an app and it’s
116 languages on it and that’s not even
all the languages
so it’s not going to be the accent
it’s going to be what we say
and the one language needs to be the
word of God and the word of God is an
Incorruptible language that each and
every one of us can speak with Assurance
because it’s already been mastered for
us it’s already been punctuated it’s
already been paragraphed it’s already
been set up you can figure out what you
need to speak in whatever situation and
people will always say I don’t know what
the will of God is well I’ll tell you
right now his word is this will and you
can go into the word and you can pray
the word and God will sort out what that
looks like
but he will never contradict his word so
you and I need to all decide as the mom
is in the house that we are going to
actually Echo Divine proclamations over
one another
that the older women like me and the
younger women like more of you that
we’re going to actually have these
Divine Echoes with one another
because God is not going to part his
spirit in an unprecedented way on a
divided people
God is not going to part his Spirit when
you don’t know how to use your mouth God
is not going to pour out his Spirit when
you are cursing people God is not going
to pour out his Spirit where there’s
Pride or slander God is waiting for us
to take the call of his word to our
mouth
so that he can fill it
I believe this is a house that is
Anointed
with the prophetic I believe this is a
house that has always honored the
pursuit of the gifts of God
now I’m going to put pressure on you I
want you to add the character of God to
that I want you to merge not just the
gifts but with the fruits that we would
be loving that we would be patient that
we would be kind that we would be those
women that people look at us and say
what is it about her listen it’s going
to be more and more difficult to be kind
but we’re gonna have to act like Jesus
which means we’re going to bless those
that curse us we’re going to do good to
those who have despite Lee used and
abused us that is not an endorsement of
their behavior okay that is keeping our
heart right
if they slap one side of our face we’re
going to turn the other cheek and see
what was behind it if they tell us to go
one mile we’re going to go two if they
demand our shirt we’re going to give
them our bra anyway I I realized I
didn’t have anything left after that
okay all right it was a moment it was a
moment we need a little bit of humor so
I had to do that all right
all right Isaiah 58 12. this is a
promise I believe I believe it’s
conditional on our obedience Isaiah 58
12 says you’ll use the old Rubble of
past lives to build Anew what does that
say it means God’s going to use the
broken things out of your family history
the broken things out of your parents
maybe you’re a decade ago the old Rubble
of past lives to build Anew rebuild the
foundations out of your past you’ll be
known as those who can fix anything
restore old ruins rebuild and renovate
make the community livable again
that is what God is calling us to do
I love that I still get to talk to
younger people and you know they’re so
excited about flipping tables they are
so excited like I’m gonna flip the table
well you know what
Jesus could flip the table
because it was his table to flip you
don’t go around flipping other people’s
table you flip your own table just go
ahead and flip your own table that’s
what we’re doing this season we’re
flipping our own table
we’ll find out what kind of nonsense
we’ve set the table with flip it put it
back up go over to your neighbor’s house
and flip their table and see how well
they’re going to
treat you after that no we we have to be
mindful and you don’t have to destroy
everything
to rebuild a new
and you know what
you have to have a motive of love
because Jesus washes his bride with the
water of the word
to evoke her beauty
he does not pull up her skirt
and show her shame
and when one part of the body hurts
all of the body hurts we can’t stand
back in Pride and point fingers we need
to tear our clothes and cry out that if
there’s anything displeasing in our own
lives created me a clean heart oh God
and renew a right spirit
we all need that so I believe that if we
do that then God’s going to make us
something that the world has been
longing to see
this is what Jesus said Jesus said
that when we begin to walk as his
disciples that will actually be children
of God
children of God so I want I want you to
hear this because this just sounds
beautiful it says uh blessed are the
peacemakers for they shall be called the
children of God
that’s what we need to have
like I want people to say wait that’s a
daughter
of another Realm
that is a daughter of God
not just a church member
yeah that is a daughter
of the most high God
I was just in the presence of something
other
something holy
something sacred
the message paraphrase says you’re
blessed when you can show people how to
cooperate instead of computer fight that
is when you discover who you really are
and your place in God’s family
so what’s keeping us from that
well
I’m going to close with this story and
then I’m going to ask something of you
so havela and I and quite a few of the
other leaders here which I just love
this house I love havlo I love Heather I
love Caitlyn I love Leslie I love I love
so many of your women we we’re all
gathered and um you know worship leaders
are sweet they really are some preachers
aren’t like I’m I don’t think I’m really
that sweet but worship leaders are sweet
and um I don’t know if you remember this
they were like let’s all confess our
sins one to another I was like heck no
heck no
yeah like no one no one in the room said
anything no one we all just like looked
down but the worship leaders are like oh
Jesus we love you come on maybe maybe at
lunch you could confess your sins one to
another everybody’s like no no and I was
like no how
I’m not doing that hell no no that’s a
destination not a cuss word and so I
I was like what
that’s just and I was just so glad it
was so awkward because nobody is coming
forth and uh
I remember just kind of going to lunch
and being relieved I kind of looked at
the person with me like you’re not
confessing you think are you because I’m
not confessing that
and then I heard the Holy Spirit say
Lisa you’re going to confess the sin
that almost every person in this room
is fighting right now I thought what
what about
he said the fear of man
the fear of man
see the fear of man is the snare
do you want a snare is
it’s something that entraps you it’s
something that keeps you from moving
forward it’s something that just keeps
you circling around the same thing
and too many of you have been ensnared
by the fear of man
and there’s only one cure
for the fear of man
and that is the fear of the Lord because
the fear of God swallows up all lesser
fierce
and I want to be a woman
who Delights in what Jesus delighted in
and it said that Jesus’s Delight was in
the fear of the Lord that means that I
will honor what God Honors that means I
will abhor what God abhors that means I
will tremble at his word that means I
will obey even if it’s hard even if it’s
difficult even if nobody gets to see my
side of the story
I’m going to be careful with what I say
that’s a hard one
so I want to know
who is hungry for something more
because you will never have something
more when you are ensnared with the fear
of man
