• 0:01
  Speaker 1: Most of us eat every day, some of us too much,
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: because yesterday's food is not enough to supply energy for
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: today's needs. Why then do some of us expect yesterday's
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: portion of heavenly manna, the word of God, to keep
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: us through today's challenges? On this program, we are going
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: to change all of that. Let's experience God's words today
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: and receive the power we need to live healthy, vibrant lives.

  Speaker 2: of Prophecy, under the caption, female prophets and young pastoral associates.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: I prefer prophetesses and young pastoral associates. Before we get
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: into that, I'd like to say welcome to all of you,

  Speaker 2: each gift, and a final step toward using it. So
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful that God has given you the opportunity to

• 1:50
  Speaker 2: if you are so inclined, please contribute to the Your
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Daily Portion Ministries because we are listener and viewer supported.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Let's go ahead and pray and get underway. God, we
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: thank you for giving us so many gifts within our
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: faith fellowships because your Holy Spirit knows exactly what we need,
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: what the world needs, and how to glorify you. Now, God,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: please help us to learn today. and apply what we
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: have learned. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen and amen again.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: Female prophets and young pastoral candidates. Now, God called both
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: men and women, both women and men, young and old,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: to his work. From the prophetess Anna to Philip's daughters
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: to young pastors like Timothy and Titus. Wherever you are,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: whatever your age or station, God has a role for
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: you to play in his work. And we're not talking
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: about role-playing. We're saying that God has equipped you to
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: do something very special within the church. And that includes
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: these two, which are prophetess and pastor. And so, the
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Bible actually identifies this. an experience here in Luke chapter
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: 2 and verse 37 that we'll pay just a quick
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: bit of attention to, where it reads, she had lived,
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: this widow, fourscore and four years. which had departed not
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: from the temple, what? But served God with fastings and
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: prayers night and day. Who can type in the chat
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: who that was? Who was that that was a widow
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: of that certain age who did not depart from the temple,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: but served God with fastings and prayers both day and night? Remember,
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: this happened right about at the time that Jesus was
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: a baby, and that's what made this such a sweet
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: passage of Scripture. And so she ministered, she worshiped, she
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: ministered to God. She gave herself to God. I'm waiting
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: for you to continue to type.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: Who is it? Who is it?
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: It was Anna. It was Anna. I love that name,
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: by the way. Anna gave her long years to worship
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and prayer and testimony about the coming Redeemer. And God
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: bless her, she was able to live until the day
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: that baby Jesus was brought into the into the temple
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: to be dedicated to God. And so, yes, a life
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: poured out in devotion to God is never wasted and
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: always bears fruits. And again, I'm grateful that Anna was
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: able to see what she had been talking about for
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: so many years, anticipating she was able to experience, and
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: I'm grateful. And so today, I want you to devote
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: unhurried time to worship and to prayer, offering God your steady,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: remember I said unhurried? Yeah, your steady and faithful service.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm asking you to do because that's what
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: the sister showed us. Yeah, that dedication was undauntable. Think
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: about the number of years that she invested in this
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: kind of ministry. Think of the number of years of anticipations.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: If I'm anticipating a trip for 21 days, that's a
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: lot for me. You feel me? Like if I'm anticipating
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: a graduation that comes a year from today, that's a
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: lot for me. So to anticipate based on the prophecies
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: for decades and beyond, like the Redeemer is coming, and
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: for this sister to not give up, that means that
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: the Holy Ghost, of course, was in her life for
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: faithful service. Now, the Bible teaches us in Acts chapter
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: 21 and verse 9 that he had four unmarried daughters,
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: unmarried daughters, I'm going to talk about them in a second,
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: who prophesied. They were virgins who also prophesied. That meant
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: that they spoke forth by divine inspiration. Whose daughters are
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: we talking about here? Go ahead and type it in
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: the chat. Yes, it is a quiz morning. Whose daughters
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: are we talking about here? Okay, well, we know now
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: that God gave the prophetic gift to Philip's young daughters,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: pouring his Holy Ghost out into the young as well
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: as the old. I know we don't like to use
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the words young and old, but you understand what I'm saying.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: He calls and still gives gifts to people the world
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: might overlook. There are people who were young, both men
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: and women. There are people of certain tribes, ethnicities, kindreds, tongues,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: and people that might be overlooked. Maybe your stature. I'm
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: not going to describe stature because then it gets complicated.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: People are like, why did you say that? So I'm
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: not going to do that. But the fact is that
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: there are people who are overlooked. And unfortunately, and I
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: can't even think of a strong enough word, disrespectfully, women
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: are overlooked all the time. in most societies around the world.
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: Not all, but in most, in most. And so, God
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: is saying that I am the one that chooses who
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I'm going to use, and I am the one that
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: puts those people into the work, and I am the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: one that continues to equip them. So, encourage today. Encourage
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: a young person in their walk with God today, affirming
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: the gifts that He has given them. There's a young
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: sister at the church where Simone and I attend that
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: said that she waited three months to come to us
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: because she needed a certain kind of interaction. And I
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: won't go into the details because it's not necessary. But
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, God, now will you show us how
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: to pour into this young sister? And of course, over time,
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: he is doing that. Our third lesson is coming in
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: from 1 Peter chapter 4 and verse 12. 1 Peter
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: chapter 4 and verse 12. King James says, let no
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: man despise thy youth. This one is, let no one
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: look down on you because you were young from the
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: New English translation. Yes, but be thou an example of
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: the believers in word. Oh, wait a minute. Set an example.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: You're a youth. You're a young person. Shout to the
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: next gen individuals at church. Place of Change Ministry in Michigan. Yeah,
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: you are now to be setting examples for the believers
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: in your speech, in your conduct, in your love, in
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: your faithfulness, and your purity. You're setting the example, okay?
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: That means a pattern, a model to be imitated. That's
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: what I'm saying. And so, so, Paul took young Timothy
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: to let his life be an example rather than to
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: let someone despise his youth. God uses the faithful witness
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: of the young to build up his whole church. I
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: will say, and I've said it many times, that God
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: is not looking for the youth to be the church
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: of tomorrow. Like Jesus, when he gave his life for us,
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: could have been my son. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, the youth
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: are the church of now. That's all I have to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: say on that. Yeah, y'all make it a great day. Peace.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Thanks for joining us, listening friends. Always remember, we cannot
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: live by bread alone, but by every word that comes
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: from the mouth of God. This has been your daily
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: portion with L. David Harris. Make it a great day.
