- 4:14Speaker 2: coming out, she's probably gonna need that encouragement. I just
- 4:17Speaker 2: I just thank God for just proactively encouraging his people.
- 4:20Speaker 2: For sure, you get what I'm saying. But speaking speaking
- 4:23Speaker 2: of encouragement, let me let me have some etiquette. Okay,
- 4:26Speaker 2: there's oil coming up. Oh baby, listen. Let me tell
- 4:31Speaker 2: y'all something. I met this young lady last year, so
- 4:35Speaker 2: we haven't even known each other full year yet, and
- 4:38Speaker 2: the the reckoning that she has provided in my life. Personally,
- 4:42Speaker 2: she's definitely what I consider accountability, especially spiritually. But my
- 4:49Speaker 2: girl praised for me. She has uplifted me, and not
- 4:53Speaker 2: just me, she has uplifted her entire community. Y'all. When
- 4:58Speaker 2: I tell you this, this this lady is the example
- 5:02Speaker 2: of Yes, three sixty five come on, and we can
- 5:06Speaker 2: multiply that by her age. That's the number we would give.
- 5:10Speaker 2: But we ain't got time to pull out the calculator.
- 5:13Speaker 2: She is the lady, the lady, I'm saying, the lady.
- 5:16Speaker 2: But she's my friend for real, my friend here, that's
- 5:18Speaker 2: coming on. Stay, She's really I don't know where God
- 5:21Speaker 2: is going to leave this conversation. I'm I'm desirating. I mean,
- 5:23Speaker 2: I just I told God, I said, I'm not even
- 5:26Speaker 2: gonna play with you like that, because the way our
- 5:29Speaker 2: conversations turned real quick. I just I'm just open. I'm available, right.
- 5:33Speaker 2: And So this woman is the CEO of the Healed Wife. Okay,
- 5:38Speaker 2: she has a community called the Healed Wife. Okay, and listen,
- 5:42Speaker 2: this is a community you want to enjoy. She's an author,
- 5:45Speaker 2: she's an educator. I'm gonna say education because she be
- 5:48Speaker 2: teaching us. Okay, she's been teaching us the word of God.
- 5:51Speaker 2: But most importantly, she's a woman after God's heart. Man,
- 5:54Speaker 2: and I had to have her on this platform. So
- 5:57Speaker 2: I introduced to some and present to others my friend,
- 6:01Speaker 2: my sister, miss Sunray.
- 6:07Speaker 4: You so, girl, can you hear me?
- 6:12Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 6:13Speaker 4: I can, well, I can hear the echo in the
- 6:19Speaker 4: building I'm in, but I don't know, like I can't
- 6:21Speaker 4: hear it through my ear.
- 6:23Speaker 2: It's okay, but I can't. I can hear you. I
- 6:25Speaker 2: can hear the echo too, but it's fine because you
- 6:27Speaker 2: you be in a lot of buildings old not nay
- 6:30Speaker 2: by girl. Tell us how you're doing. Sunray. First of all,
- 6:37Speaker 2: let's go ahead and get this out the way. It's Sunray,
- 6:41Speaker 2: your real name. My about to ask your base question. It's Sunray,
- 6:45Speaker 2: your real name.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Mm hmm.
- 6:49Speaker 2: That's sun Ray. Really gets this question a lot, so
- 6:53Speaker 2: I just wanted to go ahead and get that out
- 6:55Speaker 2: of the way. That's that's legit her name. Some Ray.
- 6:57Speaker 2: Tell the people how you feel and how you're doing,
- 6:59Speaker 2: because you come in here looking like you're finna give
- 7:02Speaker 2: us the word of the Lord. I mean, she's for serious. Okay, listen.
- 7:08Speaker 4: I know because I'm like just you know, usually when
- 7:11Speaker 4: I call it, I'm like super like ha ha. That
- 7:13Speaker 4: is not what God is own with me today. Yeah,
- 7:20Speaker 4: I'm sitting here and I'm like Jesus. But normally I'm
- 7:23Speaker 4: super ha ha ha. But today there is a word
- 7:27Speaker 4: of the Lord, and I just believe that he does
- 7:29Speaker 4: want to speak, and he wants to move and shift
- 7:31Speaker 4: the room, but also he wants to ensure that our
- 7:34Speaker 4: hearts are properly aligned to receive you know what this
- 7:38Speaker 4: season represents, not just for his body as a whole,
- 7:41Speaker 4: but specifically for you just because well and so yes,
- 7:45Speaker 4: that's why I'm just being a little bit more because
- 7:49Speaker 4: it's the Holy Spirit.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Yes, okay, So I'm gonna I'm gonna ask Holy Spirit
- 7:56Speaker 2: permission before we get I know how the prophetic operates,
- 7:59Speaker 2: and so I'm gonna release you. And this is not
- 8:04Speaker 2: normally what we do, y'all if this is your first
- 8:06Speaker 2: time here, Normally it's more communication. I believe that we
- 8:10Speaker 2: will have communication and dialogue or whatever. But I believe
- 8:13Speaker 2: in the prophetic. I believe in God bringing people, bringing
- 8:17Speaker 2: voices for time such as this, and she is a
- 8:20Speaker 2: voice I trust. Okay, So for me to do this,
- 8:22Speaker 2: I just I knew just to let God do what
- 8:24Speaker 2: he's gonna do. But I would love for you to
- 8:27Speaker 2: explain your community right the heal wife, because right now
- 8:33Speaker 2: you're still waiting for the time where it's supposed to
- 8:36Speaker 2: be here and on earth as your wife, But you
- 8:39Speaker 2: also teach your people like you can't love a husband
- 8:42Speaker 2: when you don't love God. I love I love that
- 8:45Speaker 2: about you, so can you give us a little bit
- 8:47Speaker 2: more information on the heal wife journey.
- 8:52Speaker 4: Well, just overall what the heal wife is. It's a
- 8:56Speaker 4: revelation that the Lord had given me discerning what the
- 9:01Speaker 4: true posture of the Bride of Christ should be, which
- 9:05Speaker 4: is to be one that is actively healing. And so
- 9:10Speaker 4: I just remember him taking me down this long journey.
- 9:12Speaker 4: And it started with mirth. I don't know if I
- 9:15Speaker 4: pronounced it right, but it's m y our age. And
- 9:18Speaker 4: as I look throughout scripture, I began to see this
- 9:21Speaker 4: constant reminder that with Christ, there's this presence of mirth,
- 9:27Speaker 4: there's this fragrance of mirth, but what it really does
- 9:29Speaker 4: in real life, we know that it connects to healing.
- 9:32Speaker 4: And so this is when the Lord began to minister
- 9:34Speaker 4: through me that the besides, you know, going to church,
- 9:38Speaker 4: singing the songs, fast and praying, you know, all the things,
- 9:43Speaker 4: a large responsibility for us is to receive the healing
- 9:47Speaker 4: that Christ already, that Christ already secured for us on
- 9:50Speaker 4: the cross, And because we're so focused on doing, so
- 9:54Speaker 4: focused on appearing, we have not transitioned into that place
- 9:58Speaker 4: of just receiving. And even this morning, you know, I
- 10:01Speaker 4: was communicating to my community about the importance of God
- 10:05Speaker 4: never asked us to perform for him. Whenever Israel will
- 10:08Speaker 4: begin to perform, God will begin to have an issue
- 10:11Speaker 4: with that. He's like, your heart is not right. Because
- 10:14Speaker 4: from the very beginning the relationship was based off here,
- 10:17Speaker 4: take this. God didn't say give me this. He said, no,
- 10:19Speaker 4: take this, take my son, take this sacrifice before the
- 10:22Speaker 4: earth was even worm right, and so ideally around the
- 10:26Speaker 4: time actually that we had met during what's his name's community,
- 10:32Speaker 4: David Shan, Remember the phone call that we had where
- 10:37Speaker 4: I told you it had to deal with the twenty ninth,
- 10:40Speaker 4: and I said, in a couple of days, the Lord
- 10:42Speaker 4: wants you to like whatever. Whatever. The instructions were the instructions,
- 10:45Speaker 4: but the main purpose was for an encounter with the Lord.
- 10:49Speaker 4: And I didn't know me speaking this to you, God
- 10:52Speaker 4: was also saying that was for me as well. And
- 10:55Speaker 4: so on the twenty ninth I went to the mountain
- 11:00Speaker 4: with the Lord. And it was in that place that
- 11:03Speaker 4: the hell Wife was already a thing, but it was
- 11:06Speaker 4: where the heal life experience was birthed, right because the
- 11:09Speaker 4: hill Wife Academy, that's where you know, we walk them
- 11:12Speaker 4: through showing them the four important things about becoming the
- 11:16Speaker 4: Bride of Christ, which is about service, which is about healing,
- 11:21Speaker 4: which is about intimacy, which is about becoming right. But
- 11:24Speaker 4: that's when it transitioned into the real focus about healing
- 11:29Speaker 4: and going through like this twenty one day journey, and
- 11:32Speaker 4: so on and so forth. So if I could sum
- 11:34Speaker 4: up what the healed wife is, the heal wife is
- 11:36Speaker 4: the Bride of Christ. It's just a new revelation, not
- 11:40Speaker 4: even a new revelation, I say, a remix revelation. This
- 11:43Speaker 4: is got like the joh Quees version of songs. This
- 11:46Speaker 4: is a sun ray version of the song that has
- 11:50Speaker 4: already been sung. But if it's our generation, if it's
- 11:54Speaker 4: our time period, right, things move so fast and we're
- 11:59Speaker 4: always pursuing something. But I really learned that the true bride,
- 12:03Speaker 4: she rests, she receives, She has a soft life because
- 12:07Speaker 4: she understands that her husband already risk it off for
- 12:09Speaker 4: her right. And so that's ideally what I teach. And
- 12:12Speaker 4: so in the community, the focus is really sisterhood because
- 12:17Speaker 4: a lot of people are alone on the journey to
- 12:20Speaker 4: become a hell wife or to become the truth, like
- 12:22Speaker 4: the Bride of Christ. They're alone. They don't all of
- 12:26Speaker 4: a sudden they're isolated from the activities and hobbies that
- 12:30Speaker 4: they once did. The people all of that, and they
- 12:33Speaker 4: just want to have a space where they could feel
- 12:36Speaker 4: understood that the things that are happening within them that
- 12:39Speaker 4: it's normal that you know. So that's ideally what the
- 12:42Speaker 4: community is for, just creating that sisterhood and bypassing the
- 12:49Speaker 4: spirit of depression and of loneliness and of heaviness, all
- 12:52Speaker 4: the things that come along with walking away from an
- 12:55Speaker 4: old version of you and embracing who you truly are.
- 12:59Speaker 4: So that's how old was some it up?
- 13:01Speaker 2: That's yeah, No, it's it's so much because because when
- 13:07Speaker 2: you start talking, because you have a great community of
- 13:12Speaker 2: supporters and people that believe in what you're saying. Like
- 13:15Speaker 2: we ain't talking about no little sun ray, this big
- 13:17Speaker 2: sun ray. You know what I'm saying because she believed
- 13:19Speaker 2: in the big God. Look, let me lett let people
- 13:22Speaker 2: know that you you got a whole audience. You clock it,
- 13:27Speaker 2: But know what I'm interested in and want to let
- 13:30Speaker 2: the people know. If they go back on your YouTube
- 13:32Speaker 2: page and even pay attention to you on social media,
- 13:35Speaker 2: they'll see that you are in different places and the
- 13:37Speaker 2: most unique thing that I found out about, like I'm.
- 13:43Speaker 5: Just gonna fly, but no, lot, it's for a good
- 13:59Speaker 5: reason and that's why.
- 14:01Speaker 2: But before I even this thing about I didn't know
- 14:04Speaker 2: Some Ray. Before I didn't know who she was. And
- 14:06Speaker 2: the beautiful thing about it, we was at the podcast
- 14:08Speaker 2: and that's where we met, and my best friend Brie,
- 14:11Speaker 2: she was like, oh my gosh, I think that are
- 14:13Speaker 2: you some Ray? And I was like, oh what was
- 14:15Speaker 2: that funny? Funny, funniest thing, funniest thing happened to where
- 14:22Speaker 2: she was like, I said, Okay, well connect with her. Well,
- 14:25Speaker 2: I didn't know that was the connection that I needed.
- 14:28Speaker 2: I didn't know some Ray because I don't. I don't
- 14:30Speaker 2: really deal with too many new people for for multiple reasons.
- 14:33Speaker 2: I just I like new people as far as that,
- 14:36Speaker 2: but not in my inner circle, not knowing my business.
- 14:38Speaker 2: In some raise somebody, I'll tell my business. And so
- 14:42Speaker 2: it was interesting to me that that Brie was there
- 14:44Speaker 2: and she knew who Sun Ray was. Because God knew
- 14:47Speaker 2: that I was, I would have been blocked, like I
- 14:49Speaker 2: would have had this wall up because I just have,
- 14:53Speaker 2: you know, things that I'm healing from, right, And so
- 14:56Speaker 2: one of the conversations that we had some ray is
- 14:58Speaker 2: that when I found out that, I was like, I
- 15:01Speaker 2: don't know how we got on this conversation, but you
- 15:03Speaker 2: revealed to me that you were in Airbnb, and I
- 15:05Speaker 2: was like, why are you in the Airbnb?
- 15:06Speaker 1: What?
- 15:06Speaker 2: What's going on with your apartment? You know, what's going
- 15:08Speaker 2: on with your house? You know what I'm saying. He
- 15:09Speaker 2: was like, No, I live out my suitcase. I go
- 15:11Speaker 2: where God tells me to go. And I think that's
- 15:15Speaker 2: that is a yes three sixty five moment that I'm like, God,
- 15:21Speaker 2: could I really submit to you like that? To where
- 15:23Speaker 2: I am traveling out of a suitcase. I don't even
- 15:26Speaker 2: have a like a home to go to, but wherever
- 15:30Speaker 2: you tell me go, I'm flexible enough to go to.
- 15:31Speaker 2: It Like, how did that even start with you?
- 15:38Speaker 4: Long story short, but it's still a long story. I
- 15:43Speaker 4: was in Milwaukee, so originally my journey started in Milwaukee
- 15:46Speaker 4: in twenty twenty and the Lord he gave me a
- 15:49Speaker 4: vision of Houston. That's what I call it. It's called
- 15:51Speaker 4: a vision of Houston. And y'all know what the Hollywood
- 15:54Speaker 4: sign looks like. So in this vision, he showed me
- 15:58Speaker 4: the Hollywood sign, but it said Houston. And I said,
- 16:01Speaker 4: oh no, Lord, well you want me to go where?
- 16:04Speaker 4: Because in my mind we're from Milwaukee. So all we
- 16:06Speaker 4: know is that Houston got a lot of floods. I said, God,
- 16:09Speaker 4: if you wanted to kill me in a flood, like
- 16:11Speaker 4: just like the people in the Bible, if you wanted
- 16:13Speaker 4: to take me, I don't unto this wilderness to die.
- 16:16Speaker 4: You could have just did it like in a desert,
- 16:18Speaker 4: so like you know something else. But long story short,
- 16:22Speaker 4: that's where the journey began, is the Lord. He told me,
- 16:25Speaker 4: and he stripped me. You know. He had me leave
- 16:28Speaker 4: my college apartment. I was there for like six years.
- 16:31Speaker 4: He had me move in with one of my friends
- 16:33Speaker 4: and her two kids. I was staying with her, living
- 16:36Speaker 4: on a little bitty couch for like five months, living
- 16:38Speaker 4: out of my bags. And then he told me to
- 16:42Speaker 4: apply for this grant. It was five thousand dollars and
- 16:44Speaker 4: he said, I provided down go went to Houston without
- 16:48Speaker 4: a house, car, a job, just got found the airbnb,
- 16:51Speaker 4: got rented a car, and I got there and within
- 16:54Speaker 4: three months he blessed me with my own job, my
- 16:57Speaker 4: own apartment, and my own car. And then from there
- 17:02Speaker 4: I stayed in Houston for about a year, well actually
- 17:06Speaker 4: I do know a year and eleven months exactly to
- 17:09Speaker 4: the day. And then once that happened, he said, it's
- 17:12Speaker 4: time to go to Hollywood. It's time to go to
- 17:14Speaker 4: the next part of the vision. So I stayed in
- 17:17Speaker 4: LA until May of twenty twenty four, which was a
- 17:20Speaker 4: secret thing because a lot of people thought that I
- 17:22Speaker 4: was still in LA last year. But one thing that
- 17:26Speaker 4: I learned about moving with the Lord is that you
- 17:28Speaker 4: have to move with You have to move with discretion.
- 17:32Speaker 4: You have to be wise about what you speak because
- 17:36Speaker 4: there are atmospheres and things that are shifting. When the
- 17:39Speaker 4: Lord has certain people's like has them transition into a place,
- 17:43Speaker 4: and so their journey has to be protected. But if
- 17:45Speaker 4: you're talking too much to people or telling people too
- 17:48Speaker 4: many plans, you're opening the door for just stuff that
- 17:52Speaker 4: just don't need to be So I went from LA
- 17:57Speaker 4: to then living in Atlanta. I stayed in Atlanta from
- 18:02Speaker 4: May until the beginning of this year, and then the
- 18:06Speaker 4: Lord called me to my mentor's house in Dallas. I
- 18:11Speaker 4: stayed there for three months, and now he moved me
- 18:13Speaker 4: here to Chicago, and so I said all of that
- 18:17Speaker 4: to say that during that time, I had to sleep
- 18:20Speaker 4: in my car. At certain periods of time, I had
- 18:25Speaker 4: to move literally every other night. Sometimes it would be nice,
- 18:29Speaker 4: He'll give me a break and I'll be able to
- 18:31Speaker 4: stay in a place for like a week, But then
- 18:33Speaker 4: it's moving somewhere else. And at the time we can
- 18:36Speaker 4: smile about it now, but it was heavy because I'm like, God,
- 18:42Speaker 4: this ain't what you showed me. But I always tell
- 18:45Speaker 4: people God never tells you what the process will look like.
- 18:48Speaker 4: He just tells you how the end will be. And
- 18:51Speaker 4: that's why we have to remember and always write down
- 18:54Speaker 4: what God said when you're walking into something new, because
- 18:57Speaker 4: the process will make you begin to teeter or waiver
- 19:01Speaker 4: in your faith. And so towards the end of my journey,
- 19:04Speaker 4: I've lived in over eighty plus airbnbs, and the Lord
- 19:08Speaker 4: provided for every bit. And now my journey has routed
- 19:13Speaker 4: me where my journey first began. In twenty twenty. My
- 19:17Speaker 4: goal was to go to medical school. The Lord told
- 19:20Speaker 4: me to quit my job. He has we quit February
- 19:23Speaker 4: twenty twenty one. The road shut down March twenty twenty one.
- 19:27Speaker 4: So it was God's grace that saved me. But baby,
- 19:29Speaker 4: I'm trying to go to medical school. What's you doing?
- 19:31Speaker 4: And he said no, And so I laid everything down.
- 19:35Speaker 4: I laid my tutoring company down, I laid the dream
- 19:38Speaker 4: that I had for my life. And I just served
- 19:40Speaker 4: the Lord through ministry the last five years. And at
- 19:43Speaker 4: the beginning of this year, when I told him yes
- 19:45Speaker 4: to go to my mentor's house, that was when he
- 19:48Speaker 4: gave me a vision of the night and he said,
- 19:51Speaker 4: you laid it all down for me. Now I'm giving
- 19:53Speaker 4: it all back to you. And that's when he told
- 19:55Speaker 4: me you can go to medical school. And now it
- 19:57Speaker 4: was meant to be now, not then you're ready. And
- 20:00Speaker 4: so I think the testament that I share with people
- 20:03Speaker 4: now and what I've been telling them is that what
- 20:05Speaker 4: appears to be dead is not really dead, is just sleeping.
- 20:09Speaker 4: And God loved me so much that he wouldn't allow
- 20:12Speaker 4: me to go down the path to a journey that
- 20:15Speaker 4: would have killed me. So he would have rather had
- 20:19Speaker 4: me feel like it died than to actually kill myself.
- 20:22Speaker 4: And that's how loving he is as a father, right,
- 20:26Speaker 4: And so it's like that Lazarus moment, and I think.
- 20:29Speaker 2: You before you go too fast, sun rain, before I
- 20:38Speaker 2: got to rewind you you said, did you hear what
- 20:44Speaker 2: she said?
- 20:45Speaker 1: Ray?
- 20:45Speaker 2: You said that he would rather you feel like he
- 20:48Speaker 2: killed it rather than it killing you.
- 20:54Speaker 4: M h.
- 20:56Speaker 2: I think I think they got to sit on somebody,
- 20:58Speaker 2: because when when you when you, when I hear that,
- 21:03Speaker 2: it's almost like God is like showing you. It's not
- 21:07Speaker 2: even almost. God is really showing you the value that
- 21:10Speaker 2: he has on you. That he would move you from
- 21:12Speaker 2: a place of your plan. Oh oh I know this God,
- 21:15Speaker 2: he would move you from a place of your plan,
- 21:18Speaker 2: your what you want to do with how you saw it.
- 21:21Speaker 2: He's not saying we've just talked about this not too
- 21:23Speaker 2: long ago, the no no understanding, the no versus the
- 21:27Speaker 2: not now right, and so what you're speaking to is
- 21:32Speaker 2: our souls right now, because it's like, Okay, God, if
- 21:35Speaker 2: I do this now, it's gonna kill you. But when
- 21:37Speaker 2: I bring you back to it, you're gonna you're gonna
- 21:39Speaker 2: kill it. Like we talk about speaking of language. Oh
- 21:42Speaker 2: you're finna kill it. Do you want it to kill
- 21:44Speaker 2: you or do you want to kill it? Okay? Thank you,
- 21:47Speaker 2: thank you, son ring, thank you so much. So we're
- 21:51Speaker 2: here in a place where you're about to go to
- 21:53Speaker 2: medical school. Congratulations, what way Paul to go to medical
- 22:00Speaker 2: school because of the journey. So if I would have
- 22:06Speaker 2: applied back then, and this is also for somebody, If
- 22:09Speaker 2: I would have applied back then, I would have been
- 22:11Speaker 2: directly accepted. Everything would have been fine. But because I.
- 22:14Speaker 4: Graduated in twenty sixteen, my coursework is expired. So now
- 22:19Speaker 4: I have to retake everything I got to retake. All
- 22:21Speaker 4: the chemistry, got to retake, all the biology, all the physics,
- 22:25Speaker 4: all the psychology. Everything I have to retake. And for
- 22:28Speaker 4: some people that would be disheartening. But for me, I
- 22:31Speaker 4: rejoice because I walked. Even though I lean on you know,
- 22:37Speaker 4: I would pray to God and things like that, and
- 22:39Speaker 4: I had somewhat of a relationship with him, I carry
- 22:42Speaker 4: most of that burden, which is why I ended up
- 22:44Speaker 4: being so stout and so anxious, and so fearful and
- 22:47Speaker 4: so afraid and so doubting I was going. I would
- 22:49Speaker 4: have went to medical school back then, it would have
- 22:51Speaker 4: doubted if I would have gotten through. But because I
- 22:55Speaker 4: surrendered during that five years, I believe that now I
- 22:58Speaker 4: said God, we can do this together partnership. But not
- 23:01Speaker 4: only that, I have an assured confidence I'll be a doctor.
- 23:04Speaker 4: I'm not even worried. I told my mama. I said, look,
- 23:07Speaker 4: they'll be like, oh sorry, you feel one of your too. End.
- 23:10Speaker 4: God showed me the end, so I don't care what's
- 23:12Speaker 4: happening during the process. And I've gone through the journey
- 23:15Speaker 4: of moving place to place and carrying these things and
- 23:18Speaker 4: doing the ministry and sewing and da da da da dah, right,
- 23:21Speaker 4: doing all of those things to prepare me for this one,
- 23:26Speaker 4: the one that's gonna take longer because we're gonna be
- 23:28Speaker 4: in school ten plus years. But guess what, I'm ready
- 23:31Speaker 4: for it, and I'm excited for it. And so I think,
- 23:34Speaker 4: like I said before, what I would want to encourage
- 23:38Speaker 4: people is to know is that when you're doing things
- 23:41Speaker 4: with the Lord who cares about time. As soon as
- 23:44Speaker 4: God gave me that dream, the next day, when I
- 23:47Speaker 4: tell you the things that begin to open up, He's like,
- 23:50Speaker 4: you thought it was dead, but it was It still
- 23:52Speaker 4: had a heartbeat, and how could it? And you know
- 23:55Speaker 4: something has a heartbeat because it instantly goes back to
- 23:57Speaker 4: like you ain't got to press it, you ain't got
- 23:58Speaker 4: to do nothing. That opportunities begin to open up. The
- 24:03Speaker 4: door opened up, It was so easy for me to
- 24:04Speaker 4: get into my program. I applied to a program that
- 24:07Speaker 4: was hard to get into, got into it, and God said,
- 24:09Speaker 4: you still can't go there, because this is the way.
- 24:11Speaker 4: Now it will be ease. So what once tried to
- 24:14Speaker 4: bring disease to your body because it was so difficult,
- 24:17Speaker 4: because it was so hard, Your victory will be in
- 24:20Speaker 4: the ease of it. Your victory will be that you're
- 24:22Speaker 4: resting in Me. So yes, when you study, you'll have
- 24:25Speaker 4: late nights. It may seem difficult, but now you understand
- 24:28Speaker 4: the fullness of Matthew eleven twenty eight through thirty, that
- 24:31Speaker 4: you are walking this thing out in the physical. But
- 24:34Speaker 4: as you walk in the physical, your husband, my husband Jesus,
- 24:38Speaker 4: he's walking alongside me in the spirit, and he's carrying
- 24:40Speaker 4: the heavier part of it. He's the one that's paving
- 24:43Speaker 4: the role that can't anyone see. I tell people that
- 24:46Speaker 4: it's a cost to become a pioneer. It's a cost
- 24:49Speaker 4: to become a visionary, because when we think about it,
- 24:52Speaker 4: what is a visionary. A visionary is someone when God says,
- 24:56Speaker 4: I'm behold, I'm doing a new Do you not see?
- 25:00Speaker 4: The thing is? Is that only the visionary can see
- 25:03Speaker 4: what God is showing in the spirit. Everybody else sees
- 25:06Speaker 4: that you're just standing before. They're like, why that girl
- 25:08Speaker 4: looking at that forest like that? But what you're seeing
- 25:11Speaker 4: is the business. You're seeing the enterprise. You're seeing this
- 25:14Speaker 4: because God is giving you the pioneer, the eyes to
- 25:17Speaker 4: see and to go ahead and do it. But you
- 25:19Speaker 4: have someone that's yoped to you. And what I think
- 25:21Speaker 4: even that I mentioned that that's so prophetic is I
- 25:24Speaker 4: said God, I've never researched what the name Jessica means,
- 25:28Speaker 4: but the name Jessica means to behold, to see. And
- 25:32Speaker 4: this past week I was doing a teaching about how
- 25:35Speaker 4: until Abraham released a lot, because a lot the name
- 25:38Speaker 4: means to theil. Remember they got to the land, but
- 25:43Speaker 4: God only told him Abraham miss the land I'm giving you.
- 25:45Speaker 4: He didn't show it to him until he got rid
- 25:47Speaker 4: a lot. And so even when we're on this journey,
- 25:51Speaker 4: one thing that I learned easily is to let go,
- 25:54Speaker 4: release and move forward. And so I think about it, Hmm, Jessica,
- 25:59Speaker 4: her name needs succeed to behold. It also correlates with wealth,
- 26:04Speaker 4: I said, God, when it comes to her, has that
- 26:08Speaker 4: been her fight because usually what your name is, what
- 26:10Speaker 4: you're going into is the area that you fought the most.
- 26:13Speaker 4: And I'm like, well, she is blind. God she wears glasses,
- 26:16Speaker 4: so we know one part of prophecy to see them.
- 26:27Speaker 4: That's funny, but also it's just it made me think
- 26:33Speaker 4: about that, and so yeah, there's more there. But long
- 26:36Speaker 4: story short, I said all that to say that just
- 26:39Speaker 4: when it looks like it's over, it's actually about to
- 26:43Speaker 4: get started, you know. And so yeah, so that's the
- 26:48Speaker 4: moving thing.
- 26:49Speaker 2: Bro. Enjoying what you just said. I'm just gonna say,
- 26:57Speaker 2: she's Jesus. I don't even look. I told you, I
- 27:03Speaker 2: don't know how many questions I would gonna have because
- 27:05Speaker 2: I just feel like the Lord is really doing something.
- 27:08Speaker 2: But you but you started to speak on like things
- 27:11Speaker 2: that you've learned through this journey, right, And one of
- 27:14Speaker 2: the things I am. I do struggle with letting go.
- 27:18Speaker 2: I literally just told Deliberates, I struggle with the idea
- 27:22Speaker 2: of letting go. And I think, if I'm honest with you,
- 27:25Speaker 2: so Ray, I think that I have this struggle is
- 27:28Speaker 2: because I deal with abandonment issues. Fast forward, just real quick.
- 27:34Speaker 2: People know that my parents was divorced, my dad raised
- 27:37Speaker 2: me and my sister. My mom was going through being
- 27:41Speaker 2: a woman in her thirties, trying to figure things out
- 27:44Speaker 2: or whatever. Not knowing that part. I felt abandoned by
- 27:48Speaker 2: my mom, right and then once my dad got remarried,
- 27:51Speaker 2: if I'm honest, I felt abandoned by him because my
- 27:54Speaker 2: place in the house was, oh I was I was
- 27:57Speaker 2: wasn't his wife, but I was doing you know, cleaning,
- 28:01Speaker 2: cooking and everything like. So it's like I don't know
- 28:03Speaker 2: where I fit anymore, you know what I'm saying. And
- 28:05Speaker 2: so once I find somewhere I fit and God says,
- 28:08Speaker 2: I need you to release this thing, It's like I
- 28:11Speaker 2: don't know God, because I just, you know, I just
- 28:14Speaker 2: got this, and I don't want to leave it because
- 28:16Speaker 2: I know how I felt to be left. If i'm if,
- 28:19Speaker 2: I'm if we're gonna be honest, you get what I'm saying.
- 28:22Speaker 2: And so I struggle with the idea of letting go people, places,
- 28:26Speaker 2: and things because it's not that I don't trust God
- 28:29Speaker 2: and that he hasn't improven to me that there's more,
- 28:32Speaker 2: but like, what do I do with what's not anymore?
- 28:37Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying? And so and I'm like, oh,
- 28:39Speaker 2: I think about other people's feelings and all that good stuff.
- 28:41Speaker 2: So I'm just kind of like in this space of
- 28:44Speaker 2: the fact that you brought that go. I was like, okay, God,
- 28:46Speaker 2: you're you're you're attacking me. Attack But I get it.
- 28:54Speaker 2: I get it. And so what what has brought you
- 29:00Speaker 2: to a place of I guess in my mind, I'm like,
- 29:04Speaker 2: you moved with so much ease in the obedience of God,
- 29:09Speaker 2: had it all? What brought you to that place of
- 29:12Speaker 2: just moving with ease? Like was there a moment where
- 29:15Speaker 2: you was like, Okay, God, if this is it, then
- 29:17Speaker 2: I'm all in Like, what would you say there was
- 29:20Speaker 2: a moment for you? Or have you always been like okay,
- 29:22Speaker 2: if it's the Lord, it's nothing.
- 29:27Speaker 4: Well that part right, because it's like, well, Gods, we're
- 29:30Speaker 4: gonna get your way. So I would rather just I
- 29:32Speaker 4: don't want to be like Jonah and I don't want
- 29:34Speaker 4: to encounter the resistant wins of the Lord. So we're
- 29:36Speaker 4: gonna go. But I think the shift happened for me
- 29:42Speaker 4: sometime last year when I was in Atlanta. Now, mind you,
- 29:46Speaker 4: at this point, my journey of moving place to place
- 29:49Speaker 4: started in December of twenty twenty two, so we're talking
- 29:54Speaker 4: about almost two years of going through it and moving
- 29:58Speaker 4: and doing all of that. When I was in Atlanta,
- 30:00Speaker 4: I think the realization that hit me was God, you
- 30:05Speaker 4: First of all, the abandonment. I definitely could relate to that, Jessica,
- 30:11Speaker 4: because I was born adopted, right, and so a large
- 30:15Speaker 4: part of my whole journey one began with feeling abandoned
- 30:20Speaker 4: from birth. And that's not even me trying to feel
- 30:22Speaker 4: that way. That's the circumstance already, right. But then from
- 30:26Speaker 4: the circumstance when I went to college, it was this
- 30:30Speaker 4: great isolation that happened from even my adopted family and
- 30:34Speaker 4: then at some point even my birth family. So it's
- 30:36Speaker 4: like all of like it was just always me and
- 30:40Speaker 4: that's it. And so and the people that I made family.
- 30:43Speaker 4: That's why I tell people I truly value the non
- 30:47Speaker 4: blood connections. I realized that blood don't really mean much.
- 30:53Speaker 4: It really doesn't. And I know some people, Oh, that's
- 30:54Speaker 4: so kind of Hardlet No, it really blood what we got.
- 30:58Speaker 4: Some we might share some metic diseases or things like that,
- 31:03Speaker 4: but really what matters is love. And it was people
- 31:08Speaker 4: that I would meet, one of whoul advocate me. Now
- 31:10Speaker 4: I'm going too far left. The whole point that I
- 31:11Speaker 4: want to make is that there came a point when
- 31:15Speaker 4: I was in Atlanta, and I don't know specifically, I'll
- 31:17Speaker 4: have to like sit down and remember, but what I'll
- 31:19Speaker 4: say in this moment is there came a point in
- 31:22Speaker 4: time where I realized that God, I have been struggling
- 31:28Speaker 4: because my struggle during the time of moving was I
- 31:31Speaker 4: was gonna be homeless. The hardest thing for me was
- 31:35Speaker 4: sleeping in my car. That was the hardest thing for me.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Now I know some people you know sleep on the street,
- 31:40Speaker 4: but for me, I said, God, I remember that day.
- 31:44Speaker 4: At first, I was like, okay, Lord, you come through,
- 31:46Speaker 4: singing all the songs praising him. I am on Redondo Beach,
- 31:52Speaker 4: Long Beach, California, with my dog in the back seat,
- 31:56Speaker 4: sitting in this car is getting darker and darker, and
- 31:59Speaker 4: I'm like, God, You're gonna come through. Then I started
- 32:01Speaker 4: getting angrier, and it was a moment where people are like, oh,
- 32:06Speaker 4: you curse got baby I said, or some things that
- 32:08Speaker 4: don't need to be repeated nowhere, and the things that
- 32:13Speaker 4: I said, I heard the Holy Spirit said this, this
- 32:17Speaker 4: is what we wanted to come up because one of
- 32:21Speaker 4: the things I think about abandonment, rejection and all of
- 32:25Speaker 4: that is that you kind of create like this little
- 32:28Speaker 4: foss bubble where you're like, oh, i'll pray for you,
- 32:31Speaker 4: Oh I'll do this, but really you're the one that
- 32:33Speaker 4: needs prayers. Oh, everything's fine, but really everything's not fine.
- 32:37Speaker 4: It's like this thing, and the Lord is like, I'm
- 32:40Speaker 4: not concerned with your representatives. I'm concerned with what truly
- 32:44Speaker 4: is in your heart. And you know, some people want
- 32:47Speaker 4: agree because they're like, oh no, you can't talk to
- 32:49Speaker 4: God like that. You can't do this. Look, I've had
- 32:51Speaker 4: dreams where I'll have a moment and I'll curse in
- 32:54Speaker 4: a dream, and the Lord when I wake up, the
- 32:56Speaker 4: Holy Spirit to stay. See, we got to deal with that.
- 32:59Speaker 4: Pull it up. It's literally like a file. Pull it up.
- 33:03Speaker 4: You've hidden something deep and now you're cursing. I don't
- 33:06Speaker 4: curse in real life, but even in the fact of
- 33:09Speaker 4: me cursing in my dream, in that moment, it reveals
- 33:12Speaker 4: that there's something in me that offends God. And God's like,
- 33:15Speaker 4: I need you to pull it up. We need to
- 33:17Speaker 4: sit and talk about this because until you shine light
- 33:20Speaker 4: on it, the gents will continue to overcome you. But
- 33:23Speaker 4: John one and five, that tells us that when you
- 33:25Speaker 4: shine light in the darkness, the darkness can no longer
- 33:27Speaker 4: overcome it. And so from that time right, that was
- 33:32Speaker 4: my biggest spirit Like even though I only slipt. Look,
- 33:36Speaker 4: I am an exaggerator. You probably thought I slept in
- 33:38Speaker 4: my car for months. I slept in my car like
- 33:40Speaker 4: maybe like three full times. But that was enough. Yeah,
- 33:43Speaker 4: that was enough for me because it's like God, you
- 33:46Speaker 4: caught me here. He had me leave my apartment. I
- 33:49Speaker 4: had just fully furnished my apartment, my first apartment since
- 33:55Speaker 4: my college one. I had a roommate in my first
- 33:57Speaker 4: apartment in Houston, and he had let me give everything away,
- 34:02Speaker 4: and you had me go to a place with three
- 34:04Speaker 4: hundred dollars. You said, go to LA. He didn't tell
- 34:07Speaker 4: me where I was going. He said, wherever the downtown
- 34:10Speaker 4: sign leads you, that's where you go. So when you
- 34:12Speaker 4: type in LA, that's exactly where sun Ray ended up
- 34:17Speaker 4: with three hundred dollars. And as soon as I got
- 34:19Speaker 4: to the central part of the city, someone said, I
- 34:21Speaker 4: feel led to sew and see you. It was my
- 34:24Speaker 4: spiritual mom one thousand dollars. I was able to have
- 34:27Speaker 4: a place to stay a few nights, and that's when
- 34:28Speaker 4: journey started. But look, during the time, the fear was
- 34:31Speaker 4: the abandonment, like you know, like dang, God, like I'm
- 34:34Speaker 4: not gonna have a home. So mind you, mind you.
- 34:39Speaker 4: That is an undercurrent. So I'm going backwards so you
- 34:41Speaker 4: can see where we got to the point where, you know,
- 34:44Speaker 4: during that time, it was like, even though I had
- 34:47Speaker 4: no longer, God told me You're not gonna sit in
- 34:49Speaker 4: your car no more. I'm always gonna provide for you.
- 34:51Speaker 4: It was the fact of like I just kept worrying.
- 34:54Speaker 4: I'm like, God, I gotta leave this airbnb in like
- 34:57Speaker 4: an hour and they only gonna give me this. And
- 34:59Speaker 4: then the Lord's like do you trust me? Like that
- 35:02Speaker 4: being on the edge of a thing constantly like oh
- 35:04Speaker 4: my gosh, God, am I gonna have this? Am I
- 35:06Speaker 4: gonna have what I need? And he would always come through.
- 35:08Speaker 4: After that, I didn't have to sleep in my car again.
- 35:10Speaker 4: But in the back of my mind, it's like, God,
- 35:12Speaker 4: you're doing this to me. You're hurting me. Da da Right.
- 35:15Speaker 4: The whole little thing just keeps playing, but it's the enemy,
- 35:18Speaker 4: and so hold on one second. Did it come back?
- 35:29Speaker 2: Yeah, you're coming back? You coming back? Yeah? That see this,
- 35:33Speaker 2: how I know is good. We've been good. We've been good.
- 35:36Speaker 2: Won't have interruptions. Keep going, keep going because you're tearing
- 35:40Speaker 2: hell up.
- 35:41Speaker 4: But mind you with the constant because you got to
- 35:48Speaker 4: think about it. It ain't like I just got a
- 35:50Speaker 4: little suitcase in a little book bag. Everything that I have,
- 35:56Speaker 4: every journal, everything that I have from home, everything is
- 36:03Speaker 4: with me, and I have to pack it up every day,
- 36:08Speaker 4: every other day. So I'm carrying that along with carrying God,
- 36:11Speaker 4: I don't know. We're getting close to the time da
- 36:14Speaker 4: da right. So I'm carrying all of this for two years.
- 36:17Speaker 4: When I got to Atlanta, the Lord had to sit
- 36:21Speaker 4: me down and said, we got a heal from this.
- 36:24Speaker 4: And that's the part of the healed wife. Is the
- 36:26Speaker 4: healed wife is really the Lord gave me a commission.
- 36:29Speaker 4: He said, there's people that are just like you, and
- 36:33Speaker 4: I need you to come back down from the mountain
- 36:35Speaker 4: because I was in the mountain. Come back down from
- 36:38Speaker 4: the mountain, and I need you to give them this
- 36:39Speaker 4: text and I need you to give this to them
- 36:42Speaker 4: to bring them out too. And so the thing that
- 36:45Speaker 4: happened though during that time was he had me address
- 36:51Speaker 4: what the elephant was. He said, you've had a place
- 36:54Speaker 4: to stay. I provided for you for you ain't been
- 36:56Speaker 4: sleeping in your card off, why do you keep going
- 36:58Speaker 4: to that? So? What would happened? This is now I'm
- 37:00Speaker 4: fast and I'm praying, I'm reading the word, I'm doing
- 37:03Speaker 4: this and blah blah blah, because I'm like, Lord, I
- 37:05Speaker 4: don't know if you're gonna provide for me, but he's
- 37:10Speaker 4: I've been providing for you for a year plus strengths.
- 37:13Speaker 4: You haven't had to sleep in your car for a year,
- 37:15Speaker 4: plush straight, So why do you keep going back to this? Okay,
- 37:18Speaker 4: so long story shirt. That was when the breakthrough happened.
- 37:20Speaker 4: Is I realized, I said, this is the enemy not
- 37:24Speaker 4: allowing me to receive the fullness. And this is why
- 37:27Speaker 4: I did a teaching the other day about foolish fasting
- 37:30Speaker 4: oaths where people are stuck in these toxic cycles. Why
- 37:34Speaker 4: is it that as soon as something happens, you instantly, Oh,
- 37:36Speaker 4: I gotta go on the three days fast. Oh I
- 37:38Speaker 4: got it fast, Oh I gotta do this.
- 37:41Speaker 2: You're talking.
- 37:43Speaker 4: My thing is is that I and the Lord taught
- 37:47Speaker 4: me this, but he didn't give me the revelation to
- 37:49Speaker 4: teach it out until the other day, and I was
- 37:52Speaker 4: telling the people, I said, you know, we've done ourselves
- 37:55Speaker 4: a disservice with leaders, and we've done hey other people
- 37:59Speaker 4: at this evers as well, because what happens is is
- 38:02Speaker 4: that you got people doing foolish fast and oaths. Specifically,
- 38:07Speaker 4: Saul did a foolish fast and oath, and it caused
- 38:11Speaker 4: long story short, it just caused a lot of things
- 38:13Speaker 4: to happen. So what I'm staying right now in this
- 38:15Speaker 4: moment is is that I had to come to the
- 38:19Speaker 4: posture of a daughter. The Lord was like, I'm not
- 38:21Speaker 4: doing all these things because you're fast and you're praying,
- 38:23Speaker 4: you're reading your word, you're doing these things. I'm doing
- 38:26Speaker 4: it because I'm a good father. And I'm oh God
- 38:30Speaker 4: that if my father and my mother abandoned me, that God,
- 38:33Speaker 4: you would never forsake me. That's what David said. So
- 38:36Speaker 4: I'm twenty seven and ten and the Lord had to
- 38:38Speaker 4: show me. He's like, yeah, your parents are still alive, whatever,
- 38:41Speaker 4: but you're an orphan in the spirit and know how
- 38:44Speaker 4: God feels about orphans. Do you see what he did?
- 38:47Speaker 4: For esther, and so it's like he cares about the widows,
- 38:52Speaker 4: he cares about the marginalized people in society. And so
- 38:56Speaker 4: when I had that realization, I have to keep telling
- 38:59Speaker 4: it to myself. I had to keep repeating it to myself.
- 39:01Speaker 4: I had to make it my truth. And once I
- 39:04Speaker 4: did that, it became strength. So what once was me
- 39:08Speaker 4: struggling moving place to place, it was like, all right, God,
- 39:10Speaker 4: I know you got it. The beginning of the hill
- 39:13Speaker 4: Wife experience, which you know September first, I was staying
- 39:17Speaker 4: in places that whole. I didn't have no worries that day.
- 39:19Speaker 4: I didn't know where I was going to go. But
- 39:21Speaker 4: I got up and I got on that line and
- 39:24Speaker 4: I gave it my awe and I said, Lord, I
- 39:27Speaker 4: was able to afford to get a rental card. So
- 39:29Speaker 4: me and Jay that's when I started moving slow. I
- 39:32Speaker 4: started packing up my stuff, getting strategic, putting everything together,
- 39:35Speaker 4: doing it with piece of ease, because God you got me.
- 39:38Speaker 4: By the end of the day, we had some place
- 39:39Speaker 4: to stay and it didn't take stress to get there.
- 39:42Speaker 4: I didn't have to fast and pray to get there.
- 39:45Speaker 4: God did it because he's a good father. And so
- 39:49Speaker 4: I said all of that to say that that was
- 39:54Speaker 4: the moment the shift happened for me, was when I
- 39:56Speaker 4: realized this journey has never been about me doing. This
- 40:00Speaker 4: journey has been about me receiving, because from when I received,
- 40:05Speaker 4: that's when I am. I'm doing stuff now purely because
- 40:09Speaker 4: I've received so much. And so that's the moment I
- 40:13Speaker 4: truly became a daughter.
- 40:16Speaker 2: When you and just like you, you, you, you, you
- 40:23Speaker 2: just said so much. But I do want to It's
- 40:27Speaker 2: two points I want to make. First of all, y'all here,
- 40:30Speaker 2: did she know the addresses to these locations in the Bible? Yeah?
- 40:34Speaker 2: Like I want to grow up and be like her.
- 40:36Speaker 2: Doesn't she know the Lord? You know the addresses to
- 40:40Speaker 2: these lakers? We be like, look, sorry, we'll be able to.
- 40:42Speaker 2: Like the Bible says something about it's a story about
- 40:48Speaker 2: somebody that I know it is. But no, you kept
- 40:54Speaker 2: you brought this up twice. And I don't want to
- 40:56Speaker 2: discredit people. People's match your in the spirit, right, and
- 41:01Speaker 2: so I don't want people to be confused. And what
- 41:03Speaker 2: you mean by the mountain that you had to come
- 41:06Speaker 2: down from the mountain or you had to go to
- 41:08Speaker 2: the mountain, What does that mean?
- 41:13Speaker 4: So the mountain represents a place of encounter, it represents
- 41:18Speaker 4: a revelation, it represents a place of light. And so
- 41:22Speaker 4: I well, first of all, God did physically send me
- 41:25Speaker 4: to the mountain. Once. I say in the mountain to
- 41:27Speaker 4: let that happened. But when I talk about going to
- 41:30Speaker 4: the mountain, I speak about pulling back from everything. You
- 41:35Speaker 4: go on that fast and you allow the Lord to
- 41:39Speaker 4: do a work in you. See, I was on the
- 41:42Speaker 4: mountain and didn't realize I was on the mountain until
- 41:44Speaker 4: it was time to come down. What happened. The Lord
- 41:47Speaker 4: told me step away from sun Ray, which was a
- 41:50Speaker 4: YouTube channel. So look, I don't care about numbers, but
- 41:53Speaker 4: I'm gonna say this. That channel has almost thirty thousand subscribers.
- 41:59Speaker 4: And the Lord said, give it up. He said, Sunray worships.
- 42:03Speaker 4: I was posting every day at let it go. Everything
- 42:07Speaker 4: he said stop. So when God begins to call you
- 42:10Speaker 4: to a mountain and he says stop, everything must stop
- 42:13Speaker 4: and you have to listen. I didn't know why he
- 42:14Speaker 4: was calling me to Atlanta. I didn't know why he
- 42:17Speaker 4: had me doing a lot of things covertly. But that
- 42:20Speaker 4: whole time, as I was letting go and I was
- 42:24Speaker 4: ascending higher and had no clue until there was time
- 42:26Speaker 4: to come down. So when I say that I was
- 42:28Speaker 4: on a mountain, I wasn't physically on a mountain. I
- 42:31Speaker 4: was just such in a secret place with the Lord,
- 42:35Speaker 4: such a place of encounter, such a place of just
- 42:39Speaker 4: go here, do this, not knowing what was going. But
- 42:43Speaker 4: I was ascending a mountain. So when I got to
- 42:46Speaker 4: the top of a mountain, I finally realized. I said,
- 42:49Speaker 4: oh my gosh, Lord, this is what this is. And
- 42:51Speaker 4: he gave me a clear instruction. He said, now I
- 42:54Speaker 4: want you to go back down, and I need you
- 42:55Speaker 4: to go make more hell wives. And so I came
- 42:58Speaker 4: down with two tablets in my hand, come on fireworks,
- 43:03Speaker 4: down with two tablets in my hand, which was the
- 43:09Speaker 4: Healed Wife Experienced, the book, and also the journal. And
- 43:13Speaker 4: I didn't even understand what any of this stuff meant.
- 43:16Speaker 4: But as I was coming, the Lord just made it
- 43:18Speaker 4: so clear. And so when I speak to people, even
- 43:20Speaker 4: people that don't know what I'm talking about, when God
- 43:23Speaker 4: is calling you, if even if you just accept the
- 43:25Speaker 4: CRISTI yesterday, but he begins to call you to just
- 43:27Speaker 4: start separated from stuff. Look at that as even though
- 43:31Speaker 4: you're pulling back. Vertically, you are even though you're pulling back,
- 43:35Speaker 4: I'm sorry, horizontally, you're ascending. Vertically. Every step you take
- 43:40Speaker 4: backward from something that's not of God, you are going
- 43:43Speaker 4: higher in Him. And so even if you can't see it, spiritually,
- 43:48Speaker 4: you're ascending. And when you get to that place, the Lord,
- 43:52Speaker 4: he begins to speak to you, He shows you who
- 43:55Speaker 4: you are. I didn't, I had no clue what the
- 43:58Speaker 4: hell Wife Academy was. When I did, I just was
- 44:00Speaker 4: following the Holy Spirit, and I got to the end
- 44:04Speaker 4: and one seed of a teaching, which is the Hill Wife,
- 44:07Speaker 4: I used to do Encounter Knights online. One seed of
- 44:11Speaker 4: a teaching turned into an academy, turned into a podcast,
- 44:16Speaker 4: turned into a community, turned into an experience. And now
- 44:20Speaker 4: also we're going live around the nation and eventually the
- 44:24Speaker 4: world doing these encounter nights from one scene multiplied. Right now,
- 44:33Speaker 4: that's this whole nother side conversation. But that's what I
- 44:36Speaker 4: mean when I talk about the mountain is it's just
- 44:38Speaker 4: a place of just intimacy. But the lore opens your eyes.
- 44:42Speaker 4: You have no choice but to see, Yeah, and when
- 44:44Speaker 4: you see, you can't you can't just be like okay, God,
- 44:47Speaker 4: and I could have said I ain't gonna do it. No,
- 44:49Speaker 4: you don't get to that type of a place until
- 44:51Speaker 4: God knows. You said absolutely, yeah, and you trust her.
- 44:56Speaker 4: And so that's what I mean by that.
- 45:00Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know what I'm experiencing right now.
- 45:05Speaker 2: I can't I don't have language for this conversation just yet, Desiree.
- 45:10Speaker 2: I want to. I want to check in on you
- 45:12Speaker 2: even I'm just listening, you know, I have. I'm listening
- 45:19Speaker 2: to her journey and I'm seeing myself in my own journey,
- 45:21Speaker 2: and it just makes it makes sense, right because I've
- 45:24Speaker 2: probably moved. I had moved as often as you have,
- 45:28Speaker 2: but I've moved, i know, four times in the last
- 45:30Speaker 2: two years, you know, and it's been each move has
- 45:33Speaker 2: been the Lord saying, hey, it's time to you know, go,
- 45:37Speaker 2: it's time to do these things. And each time. The
- 45:39Speaker 2: first time was was was probably the toughest because I
- 45:42Speaker 2: sold my my town home that I had been in
- 45:44Speaker 2: for about eleven years. And this was twenty four. This
- 45:48Speaker 2: was no. Twenty three, This was August of twenty three,
- 45:51Speaker 2: and so since then it's been moving to these different places.
- 45:56Speaker 2: I stayed with my friend who had two girls. She
- 45:57Speaker 2: had twin girls. When into my own apartment after that,
- 46:01Speaker 2: after last six months, and then in the middle of
- 46:04Speaker 2: a lease last year, the lord was like, all right,
- 46:06Speaker 2: it's time to move again. I'm like, wait a minute,
- 46:08Speaker 2: the lease ain't even up yet, and so he moved
- 46:11Speaker 2: me into this place with a couple. I stay in
- 46:14Speaker 2: there in the basement now, and I now understand why.
- 46:17Speaker 2: I didn't understand why then. But it's been such a
- 46:19Speaker 2: place of healing for me. Like you said, I was
- 46:22Speaker 2: always in a posture of doing, like trying to do
- 46:25Speaker 2: the most, you know, hustle, hustle, hustle culture, you know,
- 46:28Speaker 2: booked and b's and all these things, and in this
- 46:31Speaker 2: space that's not been the case. And it's been so
- 46:33Speaker 2: uncomfortable because I'm like, I don't even know how I
- 46:35Speaker 2: fit in here. And they are so sweet and have
- 46:37Speaker 2: been so loving and kind, and it's almost been like
- 46:41Speaker 2: the Lord showing me his love in human form. That's
- 46:44Speaker 2: that's the best I can put it. And they've just
- 46:46Speaker 2: been preparing me, i know, for a next season.
- 46:48Speaker 1: Right.
- 46:49Speaker 2: They've been married for over twenty four years, you know,
- 46:51Speaker 2: so I've gotten to see something in marriage that I
- 46:55Speaker 2: have never seen before, you know, and the Lord no
- 46:58Speaker 2: knew I didn't want to be married because of what
- 46:59Speaker 2: I saw. So I thought it was very beautiful that
- 47:01Speaker 2: he allowed me to see something different in that space.
- 47:04Speaker 2: And so that's what I'm learning. It's it's it's coming
- 47:08Speaker 2: into a posture of daughttership and just receiving, like there's
- 47:11Speaker 2: nothing that you can do. Like I'll be trying to
- 47:14Speaker 2: do the most. They'd be like, girl, now did you hungry?
- 47:16Speaker 2: I'll be like, yeah, what you need? They'd be like,
- 47:18Speaker 2: we don't need nothing, just come eat. You know what
- 47:20Speaker 2: I'm saying. And so it has been tough, but it
- 47:22Speaker 2: has as I look back, the journey has definitely definitely
- 47:26Speaker 2: been preparing me for what I know He's already shown me.
- 47:29Speaker 2: So it's just been beautiful to hear your hear your testimony,
- 47:33Speaker 2: and people who have not journeyed or had that type
- 47:36Speaker 2: of experience may not understand. So I understand when you
- 47:39Speaker 2: say you can't share that with everybody because everybody's just
- 47:42Speaker 2: not gonna understand how God deals with you because of
- 47:45Speaker 2: what's on your life. You know. So I've enjoyed you
- 47:48Speaker 2: so much. Thank you for gracing us with your with
- 47:51Speaker 2: your testimony, with your voice today. Yeah, most definitely some
- 47:55Speaker 2: ray like you have a I've never met someone like
- 47:58Speaker 2: you before, Like you are just symblem. You enhance my
- 48:01Speaker 2: life so much. It's just you challenge me when I
- 48:05Speaker 2: think about certain things spiritually or whatever. There there are
- 48:08Speaker 2: certain people that come up in mind on my friend level.
- 48:11Speaker 2: Like it's different. You know, we have mentors and stuff
- 48:14Speaker 2: like that, but it's different when you have friends that
- 48:16Speaker 2: really operate in what're you're going through. And Brie has
- 48:20Speaker 2: always been that for me. And then I got to
- 48:23Speaker 2: add you. I was like, Okay, So when Brie told
- 48:26Speaker 2: me she followed you, I said, well, maybe she's trustworth
- 48:30Speaker 2: because Bree just don't follow anybody. Okay, that's my friend.
- 48:33Speaker 2: She just don't. She's just not that girl. Okay, she's
- 48:37Speaker 2: discernment field. Okay. So I'm just so happy and so
- 48:42Speaker 2: honored that God will even allow you or us to
- 48:45Speaker 2: cross each other's path and allow me to be as
- 48:48Speaker 2: intimate as we have in our friendship. And so I
- 48:51Speaker 2: know that I kept hearing the LAWD say wrap this up,
- 48:54Speaker 2: because she got something that she needs to say, she
- 48:56Speaker 2: needs to release. So normally, traditionally, I guess have the
- 49:01Speaker 2: final word anyway. And so whatever the Lord is dealing
- 49:04Speaker 2: with you on, I'm just gonna sit back and be quiet,
- 49:07Speaker 2: and when you're done, I'm gonna let you do. It's simple. Okay,
- 49:14Speaker 2: give it now, don't want my face. I'm so tickled.
- 49:23Speaker 4: So this is really for Jessica, but I believe it's
- 49:25Speaker 4: for everybody in crisis. Well, but.
- 49:31Speaker 2: She's gonna start with, well, this is for Jessica. Just
- 49:33Speaker 2: bring me back up. Be serious.
- 49:37Speaker 4: It's really it's really simple. It's so simple. So something
- 49:43Speaker 4: the Lord has continued to speak about is restoration. And
- 49:47Speaker 4: we know restoration because we hear it so much. I
- 49:50Speaker 4: think we've become desensitized to really understand that God does
- 49:54Speaker 4: not play when he says you're in a season of restoration.
- 49:57Speaker 4: And the quicker you realize it and moving alignment with it, right,
- 50:01Speaker 4: that's when you run into all of the blessings, all
- 50:04Speaker 4: of the past harvests that disobedience and previous seasons ate
- 50:08Speaker 4: up right. And so right before maybe like five minutes
- 50:11Speaker 4: we got on. I open my Bible and it's a
- 50:14Speaker 4: new Bible, and it fell on you know, Jeremiah thirty three,
- 50:17Speaker 4: which speaks about the promise of restoration. And we know,
- 50:20Speaker 4: like the three thirty three calling to me, I'll answer
- 50:23Speaker 4: be and show you great right all of those things.
- 50:26Speaker 4: And the Lord said, this is for her because she
- 50:29Speaker 4: doesn't believe that I am truly restoring her in this season.
- 50:33Speaker 4: And I need her to know that I said what
- 50:36Speaker 4: I said, that I'm not a man that I shall lie.
- 50:39Speaker 4: And you know this is the alignment God needs you
- 50:43Speaker 4: just to be in. That's why I said. It's simple.
- 50:45Speaker 4: He says, this is time for Jessica to be restored.
- 50:48Speaker 4: This is your year. And when you really not just
- 50:51Speaker 4: see how somebody say it, but you receive it in
- 50:53Speaker 4: your heart. Everything that you lost, will we restore, multiplied
- 50:59Speaker 4: every vision that He gave you, that you thought you faltered,
- 51:02Speaker 4: that you thought you messed up, multiplied, emplified bigger than
- 51:06Speaker 4: what you could ever think or imagine. And so what
- 51:09Speaker 4: God just wants you to know, Yes, he's proud of you,
- 51:11Speaker 4: He's proud of the work that it is that you've
- 51:13Speaker 4: been doing. But there's a step more, there's something a
- 51:18Speaker 4: little more. And that's something that's a little more is God,
- 51:21Speaker 4: this is my time of restoration. It's not gonna look
- 51:24Speaker 4: like how it did last time. It's not gonna fail.
- 51:27Speaker 4: Everything is working for my good. These aren't just words.
- 51:30Speaker 4: This is your time. This is your time. This is
- 51:33Speaker 4: your time, and you have to begin to walk like
- 51:36Speaker 4: it and begin to look back over what God has
- 51:38Speaker 4: shown you, even in this year so far, He says,
- 51:41Speaker 4: my hand has not been withheld from you. This year,
- 51:45Speaker 4: my hand has not been withheld from you. And so
- 51:48Speaker 4: begin to move in agreement with that. Like God, you said,
- 51:52Speaker 4: this restoration time. So it ain't even about oh I'm
- 51:55Speaker 4: stepping into this, I'm coming to. What my father said
- 51:58Speaker 4: is old to me because when it's a restoration, it's recompense, clocket,
- 52:04Speaker 4: It's time to get back everything, everything, everything heaviness tried
- 52:09Speaker 4: to take from you, everything darkness tried to take from you.
- 52:12Speaker 4: It's time that you get your recompense and you be
- 52:15Speaker 4: duly rewarded for your service. You're such a servant, you
- 52:19Speaker 4: have such a heart for people. But God says, see
- 52:22Speaker 4: my heart for you in this restoration. And so that's it.
- 52:26Speaker 4: See it was simple. Everybody happy, it's all done.
- 52:30Speaker 2: See because when the Lord thought I was talking to you,
- 52:37Speaker 2: I'll be getting nervous.
- 52:41Speaker 4: No, this is this is a good one. He just
- 52:44Speaker 4: wants you to. He just said, it's just basically I said,
- 52:47Speaker 4: but I said, that's it. That's it. And so I think,
- 52:51Speaker 4: if anything, I value when God does that for me
