• 0:36

• 0:38

• 0:42
  THAN WHAT YOU SEE IN THE CURRENT SITUATION?
• 0:44

  WELCOME TO FRIENDS FROM THE TABLE.
• 1:10
  I'M YOUR HOST, APRIL OSTEEN-SIMONS,
• 1:13
  AND I'M HERE WITH MY GOOD FRIEND AND CO-HOST, DOROTHY NEWTON,
• 1:16
  AND WE ARE SO EXCITED TO HAVE OUR SPECIAL GUEST,
• 1:19
  PASTOR DALE MAST, WITH US TODAY.
• 1:21
  WELCOME TO FRIENDS FROM THE TABLE.
• 1:23
  PASTOR DALE MAST: IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU TODAY.
• 1:24
  APRIL: WE ARE EXCITED.
• 1:26
  AND YOU KNOW, BEFORE WE DIVE INTO YOUR BOOK,
• 1:28
  WHICH IS SO GOOD, I WANT TO GET THE AUDIENCE TO KNOW YOU
• 1:32
  A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
• 1:33
  SO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND
• 1:35
  AND HOW YOU GREW UP.
• 1:36
  DALE: WELL, I GREW UP IN A MENNONITE HOME.
• 1:38
  MY GRANDFATHER WAS AN ORPHAN ADOPTED INTO AN AMISH HOME.
• 1:43
  SO WHEN HE HAD A PICKUP, THEN HE BECAME MENNONITE.
• 1:46
  YOU CAN'T HAVE A PICKUP.
• 1:47
  YOU CAN ONLY HAVE HORSE AND BUGGY.
• 1:49
  SO THEN, BUT HE USED TO WALK ACROSS THE FIELD,
• 1:53
  AND MY GRANDFATHER SINGING A SONG, A HYMN OF WORSHIP TO GOD.
• 1:57
  BUT YET HE BATTLED WITH DEPRESSION, BEING AN ORPHAN
• 2:01
  THAT WAS NEVER ACCEPTED.
• 2:03
  MY FATHER WAS THE OLDEST.
• 2:06
  HE WAS RAISED BY AN ORPHAN.
• 2:07
  AND THEN MY FATHER RAISED ME,
• 2:09
  SO IN IT.
• 2:11
  AND WE WERE IN THE MENNONITE CHURCH
• 2:14
  WHEN THE SPIRIT OF GOD FELL
• 2:15
  DURING THE JESUS MOVEMENT, THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT.
• 2:18
  AND LITERALLY WITHIN TWO WEEKS, OUR ENTIRE FAMILY
• 2:22
  WAS FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT, THREE OF US IN COLLEGE,
• 2:25
  AND THEN THE REST, MY MOTHER AND FATHER AND THEM AT HOME.
• 2:30
  WHEN WE WERE GETTING TOGETHER, WE THOUGHT,
• 2:32
  THEY WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENED TO US.
• 2:33
  AND WE ALL HAD THE SAME STORY.
• 2:35
  APRIL: IN ONE MEETING THIS HAPPENED?
• 2:37
  DALE: WELL, WE WERE IN COLLEGE AND THEY WERE AT HOME,
• 2:39
  AND WE BOTH HAD OUR INDEPENDENT EXPERIENCES.
• 2:42
  AND WHEN WE GOT TOGETHER, IT'S LIKE,
• 2:44
  HOW ARE WE GOING TO BREAK THE NEWS?
• 2:46
  AND SO WE BOTH HAD...
• 2:47
  APRIL: IT WAS A SETUP.
• 2:48
  DALE: ...GREAT THINGS TO SHARE.
• 2:49
  IT WAS REALLY AWESOME.
• 2:50
  APRIL: THAT IS AWESOME.
• 2:51
  WELL, TELL ME ABOUT A VISION THAT YOU HAD.
• 2:54
  HOW OLD WERE YOU WHEN YOU HAD THE VISION?
• 2:56
  DALE: I WAS LIKE 12 YEARS OLD, BUT ACTUALLY I HAD A VISION
• 2:59
  BEFORE THAT.
• 2:59
  OKAY.
• 3:01
  I WAS WALKING ALONG A DIRT ROAD, AND I DON'T KNOW WHY
• 3:03
  I WAS SINGING "OH, WHEN THE SAINTS GO MARCHING IN",
• 3:05
  THAT WAS NOT A BIG MENNONITE SONG
• 3:07
  BECAUSE IT'S MARCHING AND WE WERE PACIFISTS,
• 3:09
  SO THAT DIDN'T WORK.
• 3:11
  BUT I SAW PEOPLE GOING INTO HEAVEN
• 3:13
  AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THEM,
• 3:15
  AND I KNEW I HAD SOMETHING TO DO WITH IT.
• 3:17
  AND I KNEW THAT MY LIFE WAS GOING TO TAKE PEOPLE
• 3:21
  INTO A RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.
• 3:23
  THEN AT 12 YEARS OLD, YOU COULDN'T ACCEPT THE LORD
• 3:25
  UNTIL 12 BECAUSE THAT WAS THE AGE OF ACCOUNTABILITY
• 3:27
  IN THE MENNONITE CHURCH.
• 3:28
  DELMAR SLABAUGH WENT FORWARD.
• 3:30
  I FOLLOWED HIM, AND AS I WENT FORWARD, IT RAINED ON ME
• 3:33
  IN THE SPIRIT, AND I SAW ALL THESE ASIAN PEOPLE
• 3:36
  IN FRONT OF ME, AND I WAS PREACHING TO THEM.
• 3:39
  AND OF COURSE, I WAS 12 IN THE VISION, AND THEY WERE LIKE 10.
• 3:42
  AND WHEN I WAS SPIRIT FILLED, LITERALLY SEVEN YEARS LATER,
• 3:48
  IT'S INTERESTING, THE YEARS.
• 3:50
  SOMEBODY SAID, DALE, THAT WAS NOT JUST YOUR IMAGINATION.
• 3:53
  YOU'RE GOING TO GO TO CHINA, YOU'RE GOING TO PREACH.
• 3:55
  AND I THOUGHT, YEAH, AND I'M GOING TO GO TO THE MOON,
• 3:57
  YOU KNOW, BECAUSE I GREW UP IN A TOWN OF GREENWOOD, DELAWARE
• 4:00
  WITH THREE STOPLIGHTS, YOU KNOW?
• 4:02
  SO, YOU KNOW, GOING TO CHINA WAS LIKE, YEAH, YOU KNOW.
• 4:05
  BUT WHAT WAS INTERESTING,
• 4:06
  WHENEVER MISSIONARIES WOULD COME INTO CHURCH,
• 4:08
  ALWAYS SOME FIRE WOULD STIR INSIDE OF ME.
• 4:10
  THAT WAS THE DESIRE.
• 4:12
  BUT 40 YEARS LATER FROM THAT 12 YEAR OLD VISION,
• 4:15
  I WAS IN THE UNDERGROUND CHURCH IN CHINA.
• 4:18
  AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THEM, I SAID, I SAW YOU WHEN I WAS 12,
• 4:21
  BUT IT TOOK ME 40 YEARS TO GET HERE.
• 4:23
  APRIL: WOW.
• 4:24
  THAT'S AMAZING.
• 4:26
  DALE: AND THE SAME RAIN THAT I FELT AT 12 CAME OVER ME AGAIN.
• 4:30
  AND MY FIRST BOOKS WERE TRANSLATED INTO JAPANESE,
• 4:33
  CHINESE, KOREAN.
• 4:34
  APRIL: WOW.
• 4:35
  DALE: BECAUSE THAT WAS THE VISION.
• 4:37
  APRIL: YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING.
• 4:38
  SOMETIMES GOD GIVES US THOSE VISIONS WHEN WE'RE YOUNG.
• 4:42
  AND SO MANY PEOPLE THAT WATCH, I KNOW I'VE,
• 4:45
  GOD'S SPOKEN TO ME SOME THINGS WHEN I WAS YOUNGER.
• 4:48
  AND IF WE JUST LOOK BACK AND REALIZE THAT THINGS
• 4:50
  HE PUT IN OUR HEART, THEY WERE THERE,
• 4:52
  WAS A PURPOSE FOR THOSE THINGS BACK THEN,
• 4:54
  AND OBVIOUSLY FOR YOU.
• 4:55
  DALE: YES. YOU KNOW, A LOT OF PEOPLE, THERE'S A BOOK CALLED
• 4:58
  THE PATH.
• 4:59
  IF YOU READ IT, IT SAYS WHAT YOU DO IN
• 5:01
  YOUR FIRST PROBABLY EIGHT YEARS ACTUALLY IS YOUR DNA COMING OUT.
• 5:06
  AND SO I REMEMBER BEING LITTLE KIDS.
• 5:09
  I HAD TWO SISTERS, AN OLDER SISTER, AND THEN A YOUNGER ONE.
• 5:11
  WE'D PLAY CHURCH AND THEN WE'D MARRY EACH OTHER OFF
• 5:14
  AND LIKE, PLAY THE CHURCH THING.
• 5:15
  SO.
• 5:16
  AND THEN I END UP BEING A PASTOR, YOU KNOW?
• 5:18
  APRIL: YEAH. THAT'S GOOD.
• 5:19
  DOROTHY NEWTON: TELL US MORE ABOUT THAT WAITING PERIOD.
• 5:22
  YOU KNOW, GOD GAVE YOU THE VISION, BUT THEN 40 YEARS LATER
• 5:25
  IS A LONG TIME.
• 5:27
  IS THIS SOMETHING THAT YOU THOUGHT ABOUT, OFTEN PONDERED,
• 5:32
  OR YOU JUST CONTINUE TO LIVE LIFE,
• 5:34
  AND THEN GOD MADE AN IMPACT THAT YOU COULDN'T DENY?
• 5:39
  DALE: YEAH.
• 5:40
  WELL, YOU KNOW, IT'S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION.
• 5:42
  I CONTINUED TO WALK WITH GOD.
• 5:45
  THEN I WENT FROM MAYBE A PASTOR THAT PROPHESIED
• 5:48
  TO WHERE BISHOP BILL HAMMOND PROPHESIED,
• 5:50
  YOU'RE NOT A PASTOR WHO PROPHESIES.
• 5:52
  YOU'RE A PROPHET WHO PASTORS.
• 5:54
  SO MY IDENTITY SWITCH.
• 5:55
  SO WHEN YOUR IDENTITY SWITCH, YOUR ASSIGNMENT SWITCHES.
• 6:00
  YOU CANNOT TAKE ON A NEW IDENTITY AND DO THE SAME THING.
• 6:05
  YOUR IDENTITY DEMANDS YOU MATCH UP IN ACTIVITY.
• 6:08
  SO I STARTED REALIZING I NEEDED TO PROPHESY OVER PEOPLE.
• 6:12
  AND THAT WAS WHAT GOD HAD GIVEN ME AS A GIFT,
• 6:15
  AS A RESPONSIBILITY.
• 6:17
  BUT THEN I WAS TEACHING IN FLUSHINGS, NEW YORK,
• 6:21
  IN A CHINESE BIBLE SCHOOL THAT WAS LOCATED IN TAIWAN, CHINESE.
• 6:25
  AND SO THEY, ALL OF MY TEACHINGS FOR TWO YEARS OF GOING UP THERE,
• 6:30
  I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY LESSONS
• 6:32
  WERE ALL TRANSFERRED INTO CHINESE, TRANSLATED,
• 6:36
  AND SENT TO ALL THESE BIBLE SCHOOL STUDENTS
• 6:38
  AROUND THE WORLD; CANADA, CHINA.
• 6:41
  SO WHEN I'M LANDING IN BEIJING 40 YEARS LATER,
• 6:45
  I REALIZE MY VOICE GOT THERE BEFORE ME.
• 6:47
  AS A MATTER OF FACT, WHEN I DID THE TRANSLATION
• 6:50
  IN THE CHINESE BIBLE SCHOOL,
• 6:52
  I THOUGHT I'D FULFILLED THE VISION.
• 6:55
  APRIL: WOW.
• 6:56
  DALE: BUT IT WASN'T UNTIL I LANDED AND THE LORD SAID,
• 6:59
  YOUR VOICE GOT HERE BEFORE YOU.
• 7:01
  APRIL: ISN'T THAT NEAT?
• 7:02
  DALE: BUT YOU SAW IT.
• 7:03
  YOU'RE NOW GOING TO LIVE IT.
• 7:04
  SO WHAT I DID WAS, I OBEYED AS MUCH AS I KNEW I COULD DO,
• 7:09
  AND I KEPT PURSUING GOD.
• 7:10
  YOU KNOW YOU.
• 7:12
  THE BIGGEST THING IS, IF YOU PURSUE GOD,
• 7:14
  YOU'LL FULFILL YOUR PROPHETIC CALLING.
• 7:17
  YOU NEED TO BE REMINDED.
• 7:19
  LIKE MY WIFE, SHE'LL PULL OUT OUR PROPHETIC WORDS
• 7:23
  AND WE'LL LOOK AT THEM AND WE'LL MAKE DECISIONS
• 7:26
  OFF OF WHAT GOD SPOKE TO US.
• 7:28
  DREAMS LIKE WHEN WE MOVED FROM DELAWARE TO NASHVILLE AREA,
• 7:33
  I WOKE UP OUT OF A DREAM.
• 7:34
  I JUST LOOKED AT HER AND I SAID, WE'RE FROM FRANKLIN.
• 7:37
  AND SO WE JUST, TWO MONTHS AGO, WE BOUGHT OUR HOUSE IN FRANKLIN,
• 7:43
  AND WE'VE BEEN THREE YEARS BACK AND FORTH,
• 7:46
  BUT NOT TOTALLY IN NASHVILLE.
• 7:48
  SO WE WOULD LOOK AT HOUSES, AND IN FRANKLIN,
• 7:51
  IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE EXPENSIVE.
• 7:53
  BUT THE DREAM IS, WE'RE FROM FRANKLIN.
• 7:56
  SO WE'D LOOK AT HOUSES, I SAID, AND THEY WERE EXPENSIVE.
• 7:58
  BUT BECAUSE MY WIFE, SHE HAS GOOD TASTE, I MEAN,
• 8:00
  SHE MARRIED ME, AND I'M HUMBLE.
• 8:03
  SO ANYWAY, BUT THROUGH THE WHOLE THING, I SAID, GOD,
• 8:07
  I KNOW WE CAN AFFORD IT, BUT I DON'T WANT TO BE HOUSE,
• 8:10
  I DON'T WANT BE HOUSE POOR.
• 8:11
  IN OTHER WORDS, IT CHANGED OUR FINANCIAL FREEDOM.
• 8:14
  AND SO I JUST ASKED GOD, NOW, SEE, THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT
• 8:17
  IN THE PROPHETIC.
• 8:18
  IT'S NOT JUST YOU HEARING GOD, IT'S ALSO BELIEVING
• 8:21
  GOD HEARS YOUR VOICE.
• 8:23
  SO WE CAME TO A HOUSE SHE LOVED IN FRANKLIN.
• 8:26
  IT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE THAN I PLANNED ON SPENDING.
• 8:28
  SO I WENT TO GOD
• 8:29
  AND SAID, GOD, I'M ASKING YOU TO DO THIS FOR ME.
• 8:32
  I'M ASKING YOU TO SELL MY BOOKS
• 8:33
  AT A LEVEL THAT WILL COVER MY HOUSE PAYMENT.
• 8:37
  AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
• 8:38
  THE NEXT THREE MONTHS WITHIN $100, PROBABLY,
• 8:42
  I THINK MAYBE A LITTLE BIT MORE OR LESS.
• 8:44
  IT MATCHED OUR HOUSE PAYMENT EXACTLY.
• 8:47
  APRIL: WOW, THAT IS AMAZING.
• 8:49
  DALE: AND I WAS SITTING THERE GOING, YOU'RE AN AMAZING GOD.
• 8:52
  THE BIBLE SAYS, YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT.
• 8:55
  NOW, PART OF THE PROPHETIC IS, IS NOT JUST HEARING HIS VOICE,
• 8:59
  KNOWING YOU CAN ASK.
• 9:02
  IT'S A PRIVILEGE HIDDEN FROM ORPHANS, BUT KNOWN BY SONS.
• 9:07
  APRIL: OH, THAT'S GOOD.
• 9:08
  YOU KNOW, IDENTITY HAS BEEN A BIG PART OF YOUR MINISTRY.
• 9:11
  AND I DON'T KNOW IF IT COMES FROM THAT ORPHAN SPIRIT,
• 9:13
  WHICH I WOULD LOVE FOR YOU TO EXPLAIN
• 9:16
  AND JUST TELL US HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO KNOW WHO WE ARE
• 9:18
  IN CHRIST.
• 9:19
  DALE: YEAH.
• 9:20
  AND EXACTLY THE REASON I DIDN'T REALIZE
• 9:24
  WHEN I WROTE THE BOOK ON DAVID,
• 9:25
  OVERCOME THAT TO COME INTO YOUR IDENTITY,
• 9:29
  THAT IT WAS ACTUALLY THE BATTLE I EXPERIENCED
• 9:32
  BEING THE GRANDSON OF AN ORPHAN.
• 9:34
  AND THEN THE LORD STARTED SHOWING ME HOW MUCH
• 9:36
  AN ORPHAN SPIRIT IS INVOLVED.
• 9:39
  I BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE WAYS THE ORPHAN SPIRIT
• 9:42
  IS BEING IS BROKEN IS BY COMMUNICATION.
• 9:46
  IN OTHER WORDS, IF YOU HAVE A FATHER THAT WORKED HARD
• 9:48
  AND NEVER SPENT TIME WITH YOU, HE DIDN'T TALK MUCH TO YOU,
• 9:52
  YOU COULD HAVE AN ORPHAN SPIRIT,
• 9:54
  BUT NEVER WERE LITERALLY AN ORPHAN.
• 9:56
  AN ORPHAN BELIEVES SEVERAL THINGS.
• 9:58
  FIRST OF ALL, THEY HAVE NO INHERITANCE.
• 10:00
  THEY HAVE NO VALUE.
• 10:01
  THE ONLY VALUE THEY HAVE IS WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR OTHERS.
• 10:05
  THEY HAVE TO MAKE THE RELATIONSHIPS WORK
• 10:07
  BECAUSE NOBODY VALUES THEM ENOUGH TO MAKE THEM WORK.
• 10:11
  SO THEY'RE THE ONES THAT SWEAT UNDER
• 10:13
  I HAVE TO WORK.
• 10:14
  I CAN'T RECEIVE. SEE, SONS AND DAUGHTERS RECEIVE.
• 10:18
  ORPHANS HAVE TO PERFORM.
• 10:20
  BUT, SEE, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, THAT IS A SPIRIT
• 10:23
  THE DEVIL PUT.
• 10:25
  THE DEVIL WAS THE FIRST ORPHAN.
• 10:27
  HE LOST HOME, INHERITANCE, HOUSE, PRIVILEGE, ALL THAT.
• 10:31
  SO HE TRIES TO PUT HIS ISSUES ON US.
• 10:34
  HAVING A TALK WITH GOD BREAKS THE ORPHAN SPIRIT
• 10:39
  IN EVERY DIMENSION.
• 10:42
  BECAUSE WHEN SOMEBODY TALKS TO YOU, THEY REMEMBER YOU.
• 10:46
  I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS SCRIPTURE,
• 10:49
  AND THE LORD SAID TO ME, ONE OF THE WAYS THAT THE ORPHAN SPIRIT
• 10:53
  IS BROKEN IS THROUGH HEARING GOD'S VOICE
• 10:56
  AND TALKING TO HIM.
• 10:58
  AND HE TOOK ME TO A VERY STRANGE STORY, THE THIEF ON THE CROSS.
• 11:02
  AND HE SAID, DO YOU REALIZE WHAT I DID ON THE CROSS?
• 11:05
  THE LAST THING I DID WAS TO BREAK THE ORPHAN SPIRIT.
• 11:09
  I THOUGHT, WELL, YOU KNOW, WE'RE NOW SON'S BLOOD.
• 11:11
  HE SAID, NO. HE SAID, THE THIEF ON THE CROSS,
• 11:14
  WHAT DID HE SAY TO ME?
• 11:15
  HE SAID, I'M GETTING WHAT I DESERVED.
• 11:17
  HE MUST HAVE BEEN A PRETTY BAD CHARACTER,
• 11:20
  YOU KNOW, FOR HIM, HE'S SAYING, I DESERVE THIS.
• 11:23
  LIKE, MY GOD, WHAT DID YOU DO?
• 11:25
  YOU KNOW, AND THINKING ABOUT IT.
• 11:27
  BUT HE LOOKED AT HIM AND SAID, HE'S DONE NOTHING WRONG.
• 11:29
  NOW, SEE, THERE'S TWO REVELATIONS.
• 11:31
  THERE'S NOTHING GOOD IN ME.
• 11:34
  HE IS WITHOUT SIN.
• 11:37
  AND HE SAYS SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING TO HIM.
• 11:40
  HE SAID, WILL YOU REMEMBER ME WHEN YOU COME INTO YOUR KINGDOM?
• 11:45
  NOW CUT IT SHORT.
• 11:46
  WILL YOU REMEMBER ME?
• 11:48
  PEOPLE THAT ARE FORGOTTEN, THAT IS THE CURSE OF ORPHAN.
• 11:51
  BEING REMEMBERED IS THE PRIVILEGE OF SONSHIP.
• 11:54
  APRIL: THAT'S SO GOOD.
• 11:56
  DALE: AND JESUS SAID, NOT ONLY THAT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE WITH ME
• 11:58
  TODAY IN PARADISE.
• 11:59
  I WILL REMEMBER YOU, AND I'M GOING TO DO SOMETHING ELSE.
• 12:02
  I'M NOT GOING TO DRINK TO THIS CUP UNTIL YOU COME,
• 12:05
  BUT I'M ASKING YOU TO DRINK OF IT IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME.
• 12:10
  AND WHEN YOU'RE REMEMBERED,
• 12:12
  IT DOES SO MUCH.
• 12:13
  AND SO EVERY TIME GOD SPEAKS TO US, WE FEEL REMEMBERED.
• 12:18
  COMMUNICATION.
• 12:20
  THERE IS NO INTIMACY WITHOUT COMMUNICATION.
• 12:23
  IF THE DEVIL CAN INTERRUPT WITH FRUSTRATION
• 12:27
  THE COMMUNICATION
• 12:28
  IN A HUSBAND AND WIFE THAT LOVE EACH OTHER FOR THAT MOMENT,
• 12:32
  THAT FRUSTRATION BRINGS A DISTANCE.
• 12:35
  FORGIVENESS AND COMMUNICATION BRINGS BACK INTIMACY.
• 12:39
  APRIL: RIGHT.
• 12:40
  DALE: SO MY WHOLE BOOK IS THAT WHEN, BECAUSE WE HAVE,
• 12:45
  IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE, NO MAN KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD.
• 12:47
  I CORINTHIANS 2:9-16, IT ENDS UP,
• 12:51
  WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST, BUT IN BETWEEN, IT SAYS LITERALLY
• 12:55
  THAT NO MAN KNOWS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD.
• 12:59
  BUT THEN IT SAYS, WE'VE NOT RECEIVED THE SPIRIT
• 13:01
  OF THIS WORLD, BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT KNOWS ALL THE THOUGHTS
• 13:05
  OF GOD, RIGHT?
• 13:06
  BUT NOW WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 13:08
  SO WE HAVE THE WHAT?
• 13:10
  THOUGHTS OF GOD. RIGHT NOW, NO MAN HAS IT.
• 13:13
  BUT IF THE MAN HAS THE HOLY SPIRIT,
• 13:14
  NOW HE HAS THE THOUGHTS OF GOD.
• 13:16
  SO INSIDE OF YOU, YOU HAVE YOUR THOUGHTS.
• 13:18
  APRIL,
• 13:18
  YOU HAVE THE THOUGHTS OF GOD,
• 13:19
  AND THE DEVIL CAN BE TRYING TO WHISPER,
• 13:21
  AND THEN YOU HAVE YOUR OWN VOICE.
• 13:23
  YOU'RE LIKE, WELL, I'M NOT SURE I'M, YOU KNOW,
• 13:25
  LIKE I'M TRYING TO SORT ALL THIS OUT.
• 13:27
  YEAH, OKAY.
• 13:28
  BUT THE THING IS, IT'S LIKE POLAROID.
• 13:31
  YOU REMEMBER, POLAROID CAMERAS ARE MAKING A COMEBACK.
• 13:34
  THEY'RE LIKE A THOUGHT.
• 13:35
  YOU HAVE TO DEVELOP IT.
• 13:36
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 13:37
  THAT'S GOOD.
• 13:38
  DALE: SO IN IT, WHEN YOU HAVE A THOUGHT FROM GOD, IT'S THE ONE
• 13:42
  THAT PROBABLY REQUIRES A MIRACLE,
• 13:44
  ONE THAT REQUIRES FAITH.
• 13:45
  IT REQUIRES YOU STEPPING TO ANOTHER LEVEL, RIGHT?
• 13:49
  IT'S NOT HAVING THE PROPHETIC DOES NOT MAKE YOU LAZY.
• 13:52
  IT ACTUALLY PUTS YOUR SPIRIT WHERE YOU HAVE TO GO INTO
• 13:56
  VISION, FAITH, AND ANOINTING.
• 13:59
  THE PROPHETIC WORD DOES NOT MAKE IT HAPPEN.
• 14:01
  IT'S THE INVITATION TO THE MIRACULOUS IN YOUR SITUATION.
• 14:07
  APRIL: RIGHT.
• 14:08
  DALE: SO I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE, IF I TALK WITH SOMEBODY
• 14:12
  FOR 15 MINUTES, I CAN FIND NORMALLY,
• 14:14
  EVEN WITH PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT SAVED,
• 14:16
  WHERE THEY'VE HEARD A VOICE
• 14:17
  OR THEY'VE FELT SOMETHING, YOU KNOW,
• 14:19
  WHY DID I LOOK THE SECOND TIME AND I WASN'T HIT BY THAT TRUCK?
• 14:23
  WHY DID I FEEL SOMETHING WAS WRONG?
• 14:26
  AND I CALL UP MY DAUGHTER,
• 14:28
  AND SHE'S IN THE MIDDLE OF A TRAGIC SITUATION.
• 14:31
  SHE NEEDS MY PRAYER.
• 14:32
  HOW DO THESE THINGS HAPPEN?
• 14:34
  WE WERE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD WITH EYES AND EARS,
• 14:39
  AND HE,
• 14:41
  IF HE COULD NOT HEAR WHAT WE WERE SAYING, IT'S NOT PRAYER.
• 14:44
  WE'RE JUST TALKING.
• 14:45
  DOROTHY: THAT'S RIGHT.
• 14:46
  DALE: IF HE COULD NOT ANSWER, IT'S NOT PRAYER.
• 14:48
  SO THE MOST BASIC THING I START OFF WITH IS THIS:
• 14:51
  DO YOU BELIEVE IN ANSWERED PRAYER?
• 14:53
  SO YOU'RE ALREADY MOVING INTO THE PROPHETIC REALM.
• 14:56
  YOU PRAYED, YOU HAD AN ANSWER TO PRAYER.
• 14:59
  SO, YOU KNOW, EVEN I USE THIS ANALOGY BECAUSE PEOPLE HAVE,
• 15:04
  WHEN THEY THINK OF THE PROPHETIC,
• 15:05
  THEY PUT IT IN THIS VERY NARROW PENTECOSTAL BOX.
• 15:09
  SO I'M GOING TO MAKE, I'M GOING TO PUT IT IN A BAPTIST BOX,
• 15:12
  OKAY, FOR A MINUTE.
• 15:13
  SO A BAPTIST SAYS, WELL, I DON'T REALLY BELIEVE IN PROPHETIC.
• 15:16
  WHAT THEY MEANT IS A PENTECOSTAL TYPE.
• 15:19
  THAT'S BEEN WHAT THEY SAY.
• 15:21
  BUT, YOU KNOW, I WAS GOING TO GO INTO BUSINESS,
• 15:22
  BUT GOD CALLED ME INTO MINISTRY.
• 15:25
  SOMEBODY TALKED TO YOU, AND AFTER BIBLE SCHOOL,
• 15:28
  I WAS GOING TO GO TO MARYLAND, BUT THE LORD LED ME TO TEXAS.
• 15:32
  TODAY, I WAS GOING TO PREACH ON FAITH,
• 15:36
  BUT I FEEL LIKE GOD IS SPEAKING TO ME TO PREACH ON LOVE.
• 15:39
  AND ALL I'M SAYING IS, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY PROPHETIC.
• 15:42
  YOU'RE COMMUNICATING, YOU'RE HEARING, YEAH,
• 15:45
  YOU HAVE ANSWERED PRAYER.
• 15:47
  WHEN YOU READ A VERSE IN THE BIBLE AND IT JUMPS OFF
• 15:50
  AND SPEAKS TO YOU,
• 15:51
  THAT'S THE PROPHETIC SPIRIT OF REVELATION COMING THROUGH YOU.
• 15:55
  WHEN YOU PREACH BETTER THAN YOU STUDY,
• 15:57
  THAT'S GOD PREACHING THROUGH YOU.
• 15:59
  APRIL: I THINK SOMETIMES WE THINK IT'S THIS LOUD,
• 16:01
  AUDIBLE VOICE, OH, I'M JUST WAITING FOR GOD.
• 16:03
  GOD, PUT THAT WRITING ON THE WALL.
• 16:05
  BUT IT IS A STILL SMALL, THINGS THAT WE HEAR THROUGHOUT OUR DAY.
• 16:08
  AND, YOU KNOW, WE JUST GOT TO LEARN TO LISTEN.
• 16:11
  DOROTHY: AND ABSOLUTELY.
• 16:12
  AND THAT'S WHY I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE TITLE OF YOUR BOOK,
• 16:15
  THE SECRETS TO HEARING GOD'S VOICE.
• 16:17
  BECAUSE SOMETIMES, YOU KNOW, WE CAN HEAR HIS VOICE,
• 16:21
  BUT HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO BE OBEDIENT TO THAT VOICE?
• 16:24
  DALE: YES.
• 16:26
  DOROTHY: THAT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THING.
• 16:27
  WE CAN HEAR ALL DAY,
• 16:28
  BUT ARE WE GOING TO BE OBEDIENT?
• 16:30
  WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL EXAMPLES THAT YOU CAN SHARE
• 16:35
  ON HOW TO BE OBEDIENT WHEN YOU HEAR THE VOICE?
• 16:39
  DALE: OKAY. SO FORGIVENESS TAKES AWAY WHAT WE DID WRONG.
• 16:44
  OBEDIENCE ALIGNS US WITH ANOINTING.
• 16:47
  AND IF WE DO NOT MOVE WITH WHAT GOD SAYS, NOW,
• 16:50
  HE KNOWS OUR LEVEL.
• 16:53
  FOR A YOUNG BELIEVER, IT'S ONE LEVEL.
• 16:55
  BUT FOR ME, AS AN EXPERIENCED PROPHET,
• 16:57
  IT'S MORE STRINGENT. TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN, MUCH IS REQUIRED.
• 17:01
  WHAT'S TRUE FOR ME IS NOT ON OTHER PEOPLE.
• 17:03
  YEAH, OKAY.
• 17:04
  WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT.
• 17:05
  SO LIKE, I'M IN THE AIRPORT AND I'M ACTUALLY
• 17:10
  HAVING A BAD ATTITUDE DAY.
• 17:12
  I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER HAD THOSE, AND I'M JUST NOT HAPPY.
• 17:15
  I'M NOT A HAPPY CAMPER.
• 17:17
  AND THE LORD SAYS, I WANT YOU TO GO MINISTER THAT WOMAN
• 17:19
  OVER THERE.
• 17:20
  AND I THOUGHT, I'M WALKING OVER,
• 17:21
  I'M HAVING TO REPENT OF MY LOUSY ATTITUDE
• 17:25
  BEFORE I MINISTER TO HER.
• 17:27
  AND WHAT'S INTERESTING, I DON'T REMEMBER THE WORD I GAVE HER,
• 17:31
  ALL I REMEMBER IS THE TEARS IN HER EYES.
• 17:33
  AND SHE WENT THIS THREE TIMES,
• 17:34
  THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
• 17:37
  AND SO I WALKED AWAY AND I SAID, GOD, WHY WOULD YOU
• 17:40
  ASK ME TO MINISTER TO HER?
• 17:42
  YOU SAW WHERE I WAS AT.
• 17:44
  HE SAID, DALE, I KNEW YOU'D DO IT FOR ME.
• 17:47
  AND I WAS JUST,
• 17:48
  OH!
• 17:49
  AND THEN HE INTERRUPTED MY JOY.
• 17:52
  HE SAID, AND YOU WERE THE BEST THING I HAD WITHIN 50 FEET.
• 17:56
  AND SOMETIMES GOD MAY BE USING YOU
• 17:58
  BECAUSE YOU'RE JUST SIMPLY THE BEST ALTERNATIVE WITHIN 50 FEET.
• 18:02
  AND SEE, IT WASN'T ABOUT ME.
• 18:03
  IT WAS ABOUT HER.
• 18:04
  THE GIFT IS NOT ABOUT THE GIVER
• 18:06
  OF THE GIFT.
• 18:07
  THE GIFT IS FOR THE PERSON.
• 18:09
  FREELY WE RECEIVED.
• 18:10
  FREELY WE GIVE.
• 18:11
  SOME PEOPLE HAVE A GIFT, BUT THEY NEVER SHARE IT.
• 18:13
  APRIL: EXACTLY.
• 18:15
  TELL US ABOUT SOME EXAMPLES OF SOME PROPHETIC VOICES,
• 18:19
  AND MAYBE THAT YOU'VE GIVEN AND CHANGED LIVES.
• 18:23
  DO YOU HAVE ANY EXAMPLES?
• 18:23
  DALE: YEAH.
• 18:25
  FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO TELL YOU, ONE, I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND
• 18:27
  AT THE END OF 2019, GOING INTO 2020,
• 18:30
  I'M PROPHESYING. IN THE MIDDLE OF IT,
• 18:33
  I SAID, I SEE EVERYONE WEARING MASKS AND I SAY,
• 18:35
  I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHY I SAID THAT.
• 18:36
  APRIL: OH MY GOODNESS, WOW.
• 18:38
  DALE: NOW, I NEVER PUT IT ON FACEBOOK.
• 18:39
  THAT'S WHEN WE WENT INTO COVID.
• 18:41
  AND, SEE, I WAS BEING CARRIED BY THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT,
• 18:44
  NOT THE WIND OF REASON.
• 18:46
  I COULDN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND WHILE I'M PROPHESYING IT.
• 18:49
  APRIL: WOW.
• 18:50
  DALE: AND SO THOSE KIND OF THINGS HAPPEN
• 18:53
  BECAUSE YOU'RE IN AN INTIMATE PLACE WITH GOD.
• 18:56
  YOU'RE BEFORE THE LORD.
• 18:57
  AND SOMETIMES I'VE SAID THINGS I'LL BE PROPHESYING
• 19:00
  AND IT'S LIKE, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAID.
• 19:04
  [ LAUGHING ]
• 19:05
  YOU KNOW, IT'S LIKE, I'M SURPRISED.
• 19:06
  BUT THE THING IS, I'VE LEARNED TO ALLOW TO BE
• 19:09
  CARRIED BY THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT, NOT BY THE REASON.
• 19:13
  I AM NOT PRE-CHECKING THE HOLY GHOST.
• 19:16
  I DO KNOW THE WORD, SO I'M RESPONSIBLE.
• 19:18
  THE BIGGEST CODE IS THIS: IF WHAT YOU DO CANNOT BE SAID
• 19:22
  IN LOVE, YOU SHOULD HOLD IT.
• 19:24
  APRIL: THAT'S GOOD.
• 19:25
  DALE: BECAUSE YOU COULD HAVE A RIGHT WORD
• 19:28
  BUT NOT THE RIGHT SPIRIT.
• 19:29
  APRIL: OH, THAT'S GOOD.
• 19:30
  DALE: BECAUSE A WRONG SPIRIT CAN CORRUPT A GOOD WORD.
• 19:34
  APRIL: I JUST FEEL LIKE WE NEED TO BE TAKING NOTES RIGHT NOW.
• 19:36
  THAT'S SO GOOD.
• 19:37
  AND A LOT OF TIMES, PROPHECY CAN MAKE PEOPLE NERVOUS
• 19:42
  BECAUSE, I MEAN, BETWEEN YOU AND I AND US,
• 19:44
  THERE'S BEEN SOME NON-PROPHETS OUT THERE.
• 19:46
  GOD BLESS EVERYBODY.
• 19:47
  BUT YOU KNOW, HOW DO YOU APPROACH
• 19:50
  OR HOW SHOULD A REGULAR PERSON KIND OF LISTEN TO A PROPHET?
• 19:54
  HOW DO YOU KNOW?
• 19:55
  HOW DO YOU KNOW HIS SPIRIT?
• 19:56
  DALE: YEAH.
• 19:57
  OKAY.
• 19:58
  SO FIRST OF ALL, THE BACKBONE OF THE PROPHETIC
• 19:59
  IS TO ENCOURAGE, COMFORT, AND EDIFY.
• 20:01
  SO IF YOU GET INTO MORE DETAIL, ARE YOU ENCOURAGING,
• 20:05
  STILL COMFORTING, AND EDIFYING?
• 20:07
  AND THE PART IS, I DON'T LIKE PEOPLE WHO ARE
• 20:13
  OVERDIRECTIVE WITH THEIR PROPHETIC WORDS.
• 20:17
  AND AS A PATTERN, YOU KNOW, I HAVE A LITTLE SAYING:
• 20:21
  IF YOU CAN'T RUN YOUR OWN LIFE, THE NEXT BEST OPTION IS,
• 20:23
  RUN SOMEBODY ELSE'S.
• 20:25
  DON'T DO IT, PLEASE.
• 20:27
  YEAH, OKAY.
• 20:28
  WHAT I DO WHEN PEOPLE GET VERY DIRECTIVE WORDS,
• 20:30
  I FIRST LOOK AT THE FRUIT IN THEIR OWN LIFE.
• 20:32
  HAVE THEY SUCCEEDED?
• 20:36
  HAVE THEY PUT THESE PRINCIPLES IN PLACE?
• 20:38
  THE SECOND THING IS THAT I LOOK TO THE LORD.
• 20:43
  I PUT IT BEFORE THE LORD, SAY, LORD, YOU KNOW,
• 20:46
  ESPECIALLY IF IT'S DIRECTIVE.
• 20:48
  BECAUSE I'M ALSO LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 20:51
  YOU CAN NEVER
• 20:55
  TAKE AWAY.
• 20:56
  I'M LED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT.
• 20:57
  I HAVE A PASTOR SPEAKING TO MY LIFE.
• 20:59
  I HAVE A PROPHETIC WORD.
• 21:00
  I HAVE A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS,
• 21:02
  AND I AM ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY DECISIONS.
• 21:06
  AND SO I LIKE,
• 21:08
  I WILL GIVE YOU A STORY THAT SHOWS THE WISDOM
• 21:12
  OF SOME THINGS I'VE DONE.
• 21:14
  I PROPHESIED TO THIS ONE PASTOR.
• 21:17
  HE SAID, I NEED A BUILDING.
• 21:18
  ALL OF A SUDDEN, I SEE HIM GOING OUT THE FRONT DOOR OF HIS CHURCH
• 21:20
  AND I SEE HIM POINTING TO THE LEFT.
• 21:22
  I SAID, WOULD YOU GO OUT THE FRONT DOOR OF YOUR CHURCH,
• 21:25
  POINT TO THE LEFT?
• 21:26
  I THINK YOUR CHURCH IS A MILE OR THREE MILES AWAY.
• 21:29
  IT WAS RIGHT DOWN THE STREET BECAUSE HIS CHURCH,
• 21:31
  AND IT WAS LIKE ONE-SOMETHING AWAY.
• 21:33
  HE BOUGHT IT.
• 21:34
  SOMEHOW THE WORD GOT OUT.
• 21:35
  I HAVE ACTUALLY SPOKEN OF 20 LOCATIONS TO CHURCHES.
• 21:40
  THIS ONE PASTOR CALLED ME UP.
• 21:41
  I DON'T KNOW HIS NAME.
• 21:42
  HE SAID, I HEARD THAT YOU DO THIS.
• 21:44
  I'M LIKE, OH JESUS.
• 21:45
  OKAY, SO I DON'T EVEN KNOW HIM.
• 21:47
  I STILL DON'T KNOW HIM.
• 21:48
  IF YOU WATCH THIS, PLEASE CONTACT ME.
• 21:50
  LET ME KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
• 21:51
  SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS.
• 21:53
  I GIVE HIM A WORD, AND HE'S IN A, I THINK,
• 21:56
  BALTIMORE AREA, I THINK, I CAN'T REMEMBER ALL HIS PRAYING.
• 21:59
  I SAID, LORD, THERE'S A LOT OF WATER AROUND.
• 22:01
  DON'T LET ME PUT HIM IN WATER.
• 22:03
  OKAY?
• 22:04
  AND I MEAN, THESE ARE REAL PRAYERS, YOU KNOW, I MEAN,
• 22:05
  BECAUSE I'M LIKE, OKAY, GOD, I'M LEANING INTO THE ANOINTING.
• 22:08
  I'M NOT JUST LEANING INTO THE ANOINTING,
• 22:10
  I'M LEANING INTO MY IDENTITY AND I'M SAYING, GOD, I'M DOING THIS
• 22:14
  TO HONOR YOU, NOT MYSELF.
• 22:17
  I'M DOING THIS TO MAKE YOU FAMOUS, NOT ME.
• 22:20
  I WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW THERE'S A LIVING GOD
• 22:22
  THAT CAN TALK TO PEOPLE AND HELP PEOPLE OUT.
• 22:26
  I'M AFTER HIS FAME AND NAME.
• 22:29
  IF YOU'RE AFTER YOUR MINISTRY, YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN.
• 22:31
  YOU TAKE CARE OF HIS NAME.
• 22:32
  HE'LL TAKE CARE OF YOURS.
• 22:34
  APRIL: SO GOOD.
• 22:34
  DOROTHY: IT'S SO GOOD.
• 22:35
  DALE: SO ANYWAY, SO I SAID, I SEE THREE MILES
• 22:38
  AND I THINK I SET A DIRECTION, AND I SEE THIS BUILDING.
• 22:41
  HE SAID, I AM SO EXCITED, PASTOR.
• 22:43
  I KNOW EXACTLY THE BUILDING YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.
• 22:45
  AND I SAID, BUT I ONLY GIVE YOU THIS WORD.
• 22:47
  ACTUALLY, I SAID THIS BEFORE THAT. I WILL ONLY
• 22:50
  GIVE YOU THIS WORD IF YOU'LL NOT ABDICATE YOUR AUTHORITY
• 22:53
  AS A PASTOR.
• 22:55
  I AM DOING MY JOB.
• 22:56
  I'M GIVING YOU A WORD AS A PROPHET, BUT YOU HAVE TO,
• 22:59
  YOU'RE THE ONE GOD'S GOING TO JUDGE.
• 23:01
  I'M JUST TO GIVE THE WORD.
• 23:02
  NEVER ABDICATE YOUR AUTHORITY TO A PROPHETIC WORD.
• 23:06
  BECAUSE GOD WILL JUDGE HIM, NOT ME.
• 23:09
  HE'LL JUDGE ME FOR GIVING IT RIGHT AND BEING OPEN.
• 23:12
  AND I SAID, SO DON'T GIVE UP YOUR PASTORAL AUTHORITY.
• 23:17
  AND SO HE CALLS ME BACK
• 23:19
  TWO YEARS LATER. HE SAID, YOU KNOW, I KNEW THE EXACT PLACE.
• 23:21
  THE MALL. I WAS GOING OVER TO BUY IT.
• 23:24
  IT GOT BOUGHT OUT FROM UNDER US.
• 23:27
  HE SAID, BUT I'M CALLING YOU BACK TODAY
• 23:29
  BECAUSE THE MAN WHO BOUGHT IT JUST SOLD IT TO US FOR 50%.
• 23:33
  APRIL: OH MY GOODNESS.
• 23:34
  WOW WOW WOW.
• 23:35
  DALE: AND SEE, HE HAD THE AUTHORITY
• 23:37
  THAT HE BELIEVED THE WORD.
• 23:39
  HE WENT AND RENTED
• 23:40
  AND HE STOOD ON THE WORD.
• 23:42
  THAT BUILDING WAS COMING TO ME.
• 23:43
  HE COULDN'T UNDERSTAND IT.
• 23:47
  BUT SEE, YOU NEVER GIVE AWAY YOUR AUTHORITY
• 23:49
  TO A PROPHETIC WORD.
• 23:50
  YOU USE IT.
• 23:51
  YOU ASK WISDOM BECAUSE ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT
• 23:55
  HOW IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN,
• 23:56
  NOW WE KNOW ONE WAY IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN.
• 23:59
  CAN YOU IMAGINE, MOSES,
• 24:01
  HOW ARE WE GETTING OUT OF, YOU KNOW, OF EGYPT?
• 24:04
  WELL, WE'VE HAD TEN MIRACLES.
• 24:05
  I KNOW THIS. IT'S GOING TO BE SMOOTH SAILING FROM HERE ON OUT
• 24:08
  BECAUSE WE GOT THE SILVER.
• 24:10
  THE GOLD.
• 24:10
  IT IS DONE.
• 24:12
  AND GOD WAS SAYING, MOSES, YOU KNOW,
• 24:14
  AND THIS IS A PART I LOVE.
• 24:17
  HE TAKES MOSES TO THE EDGE OF THE RED SEA.
• 24:20
  AND MOSES ALWAYS FACED CRIMES.
• 24:22
  I TOLD YOU TO GET SOMEBODY ELSE.
• 24:23
  I DIDN'T WANT TO DO THIS.
• 24:24
  AND NOW MY LEADERS WANT TO KILL ME.
• 24:26
  THE EGYPTIANS WANT TO KILL ME.
• 24:27
  AND I TOLD YOU, GET SOMEBODY ELSE.
• 24:28
  AND GOD SAYS, OKAY, MOSES.
• 24:31
  NOW WE'RE NOT DOING BUSINESS LIKE THIS ANYMORE.
• 24:34
  NO MORE CRY PRAYERS.
• 24:36
  STAND UP AND BE THE MAN I'VE CALLED YOU TO BE.
• 24:38
  DON'T GIVE YOUR ROD TO AARON.
• 24:40
  DON'T GET AARON TO SPEAK.
• 24:41
  LIFT UP YOUR ROD AND YOU SPEAK. SOMEBODY RIGHT NOW,
• 24:45
  YOU'VE BEEN CRYING OUT TO GOD.
• 24:47
  AND GOD SAID, YOU'RE MATURE ENOUGH.
• 24:49
  YOU NEED TO STAND UP.
• 24:50
  LIFT UP YOUR ROD OF AUTHORITY, THEN I'LL MOVE.
• 24:53
  AND GOD SAID, THIS WAS THE DEVELOPMENT OF MOSES
• 24:58
  BECOMING A FRIEND OF GOD.
• 25:00
  APRIL: WOW.
• 25:02
  DALE: NOW I PUT THIS IN MY BOOK WHEN LITERALLY AARON AND MIRIAM
• 25:05
  OPPOSED MOSES.
• 25:08
  THINK ABOUT THAT.
• 25:10
  AND MIRIAM SAID, HEY, I'M THE ONE THAT PUT YOU IN THE BASKET
• 25:13
  TO SHOVE YOU TOWARD PHARAOH.
• 25:14
  AND AARON SAID, I'VE SPOKEN TO YOU, I'VE SPOKEN FOR YOU,
• 25:18
  AND I'M THE ONE THAT HAS HELD THE ROD.
• 25:20
  RIGHT.
• 25:21
  AND SEE, I WILL TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE
• 25:23
  IN ANOTHER TIME, ANOTHER BOOK.
• 25:25
  BUT WHAT GOD SAID, MOSES IS MORE THAN A PROPHET.
• 25:30
  HE'S A FRIEND.
• 25:32
  NOW, TELL ME A GOOD FRIEND YOU HAVE THAT YOU DON'T TALK WITH,
• 25:36
  APRIL: RIGHT.
• 25:37
  DALE: JESUS HAS CALLED US FRIENDS.
• 25:38
  THAT IS NOT AN ASSESSMENT OF OUR RELATIONSHIP
• 25:42
  FOR EVERYBODY IN THE BODY OF CHRIST.
• 25:44
  IT'S AN INVITATION.
• 25:45
  HE ACTUALLY CALLED JUDAS FRIEND BEFORE.
• 25:48
  AND THAT WAS,
• 25:50
  ARE YOU WITH ME?
• 25:53
  HE DID NOT CHANGE HIS VIEW, BUT JUDAS WAS NOT THERE.
• 25:55
  SO WE NEED TO FRIEND UP WITH GOD. AND COMMUNICATION.
• 25:59
  MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE.
• 26:00
  AND REALLY, PEOPLE HEAR GOD MORE THAN THEY,
• 26:03
  THE DEVIL WANTS THEM TO BELIEVE.
• 26:05
  I HEAR HIS VOICE WHEN I READ MY BIBLE.
• 26:07
  I HEAR HIS VOICE
• 26:08
  WHEN I PRAY, HE'LL SAY, PRAY OVER HERE.
• 26:10
  I HEAR HIS VOICE
• 26:12
  WHEN I'M COUNSELING SOMEBODY, HE'LL GIVE ME WISDOM
• 26:13
  I DON'T EVEN HAVE.
• 26:15
  DOROTHY: THAT'S SO GOOD.
• 26:16
  WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL HABITS THAT WE CAN DO DAILY?
• 26:19
  PEOPLE WHO ARE WATCHING WHO I KNOW ARE IMPACTED
• 26:23
  AND THEY WANT TO HEAR GOD'S VOICE.
• 26:25
  WHAT ARE SOME PRACTICAL HABITS THAT PEOPLE CAN DO
• 26:28
  SO THAT THEY ARE MORE SENSITIVE TO GOD'S VOICE?
• 26:31
  DALE: YES.
• 26:33
  WELL, THE FIRST ONE IS, YOU NEED TO READ GOD'S VOICE IN HIS WORD.
• 26:35
  MY WIFE AND I, WE WAKE UP, WE READ THE BIBLE
• 26:39
  BECAUSE WHEN WE READ HIS WORD, HIS WORDS ACTIVATE
• 26:43
  IN THE SPIRIT OF GOD, AND IT BECOMES A RELATIONSHIP.
• 26:47
  HE SPEAKS TO US THROUGH THE WORD.
• 26:49
  IF YOU DON'T START WITH THE WORD, YOU WILL GET OFF-BALANCE.
• 26:53
  YOU'LL GET WEIRD WITHIN THREE YEARS IF YOU DON'T
• 26:56
  STAY IN THE WORD, BECAUSE YOU'LL START BELIEVING
• 26:59
  WHAT YOU KNOW INSTEAD OF WHAT HE'S TELLING YOU.
• 27:01
  WHEN SOMEBODY STOPS LEARNING, THEY SHOULD STOP TEACHING,
• 27:05
  BECAUSE THEY ENTERED INTO A SPIRIT OF I KNOW IT ALL,
• 27:08
  AND IT'S ACTUALLY A PLACE OF IDOLATRY,
• 27:11
  OF ACCUMULATED WISDOM INSTEAD OF KNOWING HIM.
• 27:16
  AND SO I ALWAYS WANT TO BE LEARNING IF I'M AROUND PEOPLE
• 27:20
  THAT I'VE SENSED THEY'VE STOPPED LEARNING.
• 27:22
  I DON'T SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH THEM
• 27:29
  BECAUSE I DON'T WANT THAT SPIRIT TO GET ON ME.
• 27:32
  APRIL: RIGHT. THAT'S SMART.
• 27:33
  DALE: BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO TRY TO OUT-KNOWLEDGE THEM.
• 27:35
  I WANT TO OUTWALK THEM WITH GOD
• 27:39
  OR I WANT TO, I ACTUALLY, I DON'T WANT TO OUTWALK THEM.
• 27:41
  SEE,
• 27:42
  THAT'S COMPARATIVE.
• 27:43
  I WANT TO WALK WITH GOD IN SUCH A WAY THAT MAKES THEM
• 27:45
  GET BACK IN THE RACE.
• 27:46
  AND IF THEY DON'T GET BACK IN,
• 27:48
  I'VE SEEN A LOT OF PEOPLE THROUGH MY LIFE GET BACK
• 27:50
  IN MINISTRY, THEIR WALK WITH GOD THAT THEY DROPPED.
• 27:54
  YOU GET BACK WITH YOUR WALK WITH GOD.
• 27:56
  WHAT DOES THAT HYMN SAY?
• 27:58
  AND HE WALKS WITH ME
• 28:01
  AND HE TALKS WITH ME.
• 28:02
  DO YOU SEE IF THERE'S NO WALKING WITH, THERE'S NO TALKING.
• 28:06
  IF THERE'S TALKING, THERE IS A WALK.
• 28:08
  APRIL: YEAH.
• 28:09
  PASTOR, TAKE A FEW MINUTES AND SPEAK TO THOSE RIGHT NOW
• 28:11
  THAT ARE MAYBE SAYING, I CAN'T HEAR GOD'S VOICE.
• 28:13
  I NEED HELP. AND JUST ENCOURAGE THEM, MAYBE PRAY OVER THEM.
• 28:18
  DALE: OKAY. SO WHAT I WANT TO SAY TO YOU, FIRST OF ALL,
• 28:20
  CHANGE THOSE WORDS,
• 28:21
  I CAN'T HEAR GOD'S VOICE, BECAUSE THE DEVIL WILL USE THAT
• 28:24
  AGAINST YOU TO SHUT DOWN THE THOUGHTS OF GOD
• 28:28
  THAT ARE COMING TO YOU BY THE SPIRIT AND START SAYING,
• 28:31
  I HEAR GOD'S VOICE.
• 28:32
  HE SPEAKS TO ME.
• 28:34
  NOW YOU'RE SPEAKING AND PROPHESYING YOUR RELATIONSHIP,
• 28:37
  AND I SEE THE HOLY SPIRIT
• 28:39
  JUST WRAPPING AROUND PEOPLE AS THEY'RE SAYING, GOD SPEAKS TO ME
• 28:42
  BECAUSE THE BIBLE SAYS, MY SHEEP HEAR MY VOICE.
• 28:45
  YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A PROPHET.
• 28:47
  MY JOB AS A PROPHET IS TO TEACH YOU THAT YOU HEAR.
• 28:50
  AND I SAY, IF YOU HAVE EARS TO HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT IS SAYING,
• 28:53
  HE LOVES YOU. I LOVE YOU.
• 28:55
  YOU'RE GETTING READY FOR AN EXCITING JOURNEY IN GOD.
• 28:58
  APRIL: OH, THAT'S SO GOOD.
• 28:59
  AND IT'S BEEN SUCH A GREAT TIME.
• 29:01
  AND I HOPE YOU GET HIS BOOK RIGHT HERE.
• 29:03
  AND AS WE CLOSE TODAY, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT GOD
• 29:06
  DESIRES A PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU.
• 29:08
  HE'S NOT DISTANT, HE'S NOT SILENT,
• 29:11
  AND HE'S NOT DIFFICULT TO FIND.
• 29:13
  THE SCRIPTURE SAYS HE'S JUST A PRAYER AWAY,
• 29:15
  AND HE WANTS TO SPEAK TO YOU THROUGH HIS WORD,
• 29:17
  THROUGH HIS SPIRIT, AND THROUGH HIS PRESENCE IN YOUR LIFE,
• 29:20
  JUST LIKE WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT TODAY.
• 29:22
  AND IF YOU NEED PRAYER, PLEASE CALL OUR TOLL-FREE NUMBER,
• 29:24
  1-800-329-0029.
• 29:27
  OUR PRAYER PARTNERS ARE STANDING BY
