 Sometimes you receive a prophetic word and then become discouraged because it doesn't seem to come to pass right away. I want to show you from Scripture how to activate a prophetic word that has been spoken over you. Maybe you've heard something and you're wondering, was that a word from God or was that just the individual making it up out of their imagination? What am I doing wrong? Is there anything that I'm doing from blocking this word to come to pass? We're going to cover all of this. Again, I'm going to show you how to activate a prophetic word spoken over you. Now, after I teach this message, I'm going to be bringing a guest on and he and I are going to minister prophetic words to those of you watching. Now, whether you're watching this on the live or on the replay, you can receive from the truth of the prophetic words that are going to be spoken. God is not bound by time. You don't have to be watching this live in order to receive from it. In fact, there may be a prophetic word that's spoken, that several people will receive, that several people will connect to in the Spirit. And so I want you to prepare your heart. I want you to be ready. I want you to be filled with faith and I want you to believe that the Holy Spirit is going to speak to you today through his word and through the prophetic gift. If you're ready, I want you to type two simple words, right in the comment section right now on live or replay, right? I'm ready. And that's a declaration of faith. That's you making a public declaration that you are in a position to receive what God wants to speak to you. So what do you do when you receive a prophetic word? How do you cultivate that word? How do you steward that word? How do you treat that word with honor and reverence that will ultimately bring it to pass in your life? Number one, the first step, you have to weigh it. 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verses 20 and 21 say this, Do not scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. Hold on to what is good. Here we see the Scripture presenting to us a balance. Do not scoff at prophecies, but also test them. So don't despise the prophetic. Don't be cynical in regards to the prophetic. Don't be filled with doubt in regards to the prophetic. But also at the same time, don't be gullible. Don't receive everything that's just spoken over to you. Don't receive every word that comes in the form of what seems to be the prophetic, but instead weigh each word with discernment. Compare each word to the word of God. Compare every prophecy to what the Holy Spirit has spoken to you. And then receive it if you know that it's the Lord. But also on the other extreme, while we are weighing prophecy, we ought not to become cynical. We ought not to mock the prophetic. We ought not to be skeptical when it comes to the prophetic, at least not an unhealthy form of skepticism. Don't obsess over prophetic words, but also don't be dismissive. Sometimes believers become obsessed over prophetic words that were spoken over them that made no sense. They hear something, maybe a prophet spoke something to you, and you don't quite know where that fits. You don't quite know how that clicks with what God is doing with your calling. You're not quite sure how that applies to your everyday life. Maybe the prophet said, I don't know what this means, but I'm just going to say it. Then the prophet speaks to you, and you're going, well, I don't know what it means either. That happens sometimes. There are seasons in life where God will speak clearly, and then there are other seasons in life where maybe because of matters of the flesh, matters of emotion, maybe someone speaking out of turn will say something that wasn't the Lord, and then it causes believers to be confused, and then they obsess over things, wondering, God, was that you? God, am I going to miss this? God, did I do something wrong? And then it becomes a point that's unhealthy in their lives. They start to become filled with fear because they don't know what the prophecy meant. They start to become filled with doubt because they're wondering what they're doing wrong. And then it becomes a focal point. Instead of them focusing on the relationship with the Lord or Jesus or the Word of God or prayer, these things that are spiritual foundations, now they become focused on a word that maybe wasn't from God. I can't tell you how many times someone has written to me saying, Brother David, someone so prophesied this over me, and now I don't know what to do, and then they become vexed in their spirit. Their mind is going a million thoughts a minute. They're distracted, they're confused, they're discouraged, and they're going, Brother David, I don't know what it means, or it hasn't come to pass. What do I do? What am I doing wrong? And I say to them, quite simply, you know, it's possible that maybe they didn't really hear from God, and they just said something that they thought was the Lord. Maybe they spoke out of their imagination. Maybe they spoke out of their own understanding. Maybe they spoke out of the emotion of the moment, and that's something that we have to be willing to accept as a reality. There are times that people speak out of turn. In fact, the very reality of the Scripture instructing us that we ought to weigh prophecy is proof that prophets don't always get it right. And so there has to be this healthy balance. Don't obsess over every word that's spoken over you as if your spiritual life depends upon understanding and fulfilling that one word, but at the same time, don't be on the other end. Don't be on the other extreme and doubt everything that's spoken, because sometimes I think we mistake the gift of discernment for the gift of criticism, and we become cynical, we become doubt-filled, we become very almost, we almost mock the prophetic sometimes with our attitudes, and so we have to be very careful about this. So 1 Thessalonians 5, 20, and 21 makes it very clear that there's this balance we ought to have. Don't scoff at prophecies, but test everything that is said. The Bible says in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 9, For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. Now, many have used this verse to abuse their ambivalence, and what I mean by that is they use it as a point of excuse to say that, well, I could just kind of say anything, and, well, I prophesy in part, so what I say doesn't have to make sense. Even though we prophesy in part, the parts that we do prophesy must be clear. So if someone comes to you and says, well, I only prophesy in part, so I'm just going to kind of give you something, and it's going to be very vague, and it's not going to have any specific instruction, and there's no real purpose attached to it, and that doesn't speak to you in any way. It's very likely that they were just speaking out of their own imagination. Prophecy in part doesn't mean that we speak words that are confusing. Prophecy in part doesn't mean that we speak words that don't make any sense or have no application. No, just because you prophesy in part doesn't mean that you prophesy without clarity. Prophecying in part simply means that you have a piece to the puzzle, but that piece itself will still make some sense and ultimately have some application in your life. So we can't just excuse things like that. We can't just say, well, they prophesied in part. It was some random thing they said, and again, people do this all the time. You know, well, I don't know, but when I looked at you, I saw some dough and some bread and some flour, and I don't really know what that means, but you do something with it. Well, maybe that's not prophesy. Maybe that was just the individual having an image flash in their head, at least if it doesn't have any application or it doesn't click with your spirit or the Holy Spirit doesn't communicate some message through that. And it's very likely they were just prophesying out of their own imagination. Again, they come back to that verse. Well, I was prophesying in part. That's why it didn't make any sense, but that's not what the Scripture means when it says we prophesy in part. So how do you know when a word is truly from God? If you're weighing it and you're trying to biblically balance your approach to prophetic words spoken over you, you know that you don't want to be cynical and have an unhealthy skepticism, but at the same time, you also don't want to be gullible and just take everything that everyone tells you and then obsess over it when you have no understanding and when it causes confusion. So how can you know when a word is from God? I'll give you three ways right now. You ask yourself these three questions and these three questions help you to test and weigh the prophetic word spoken over you. Number one, does this align with God's word? The Holy Spirit will never contradict himself. The Holy Spirit will never speak something that goes against the truth that he spoke in the Scripture. That is the more sure word of prophecy. The written word of God is the foundation of our understanding of the voice of the Holy Spirit. And so the Holy Spirit will never contradict anything that's in Scripture. I don't care how charismatic the person is. I don't care how convincing they are. I don't care how spiritual they seem. The Holy Spirit will never, ever contradict the word. So that's number one. Does it align with God's word? Number two, does it align with what God has spoken to me personally? Now there are some times when prophets will speak something to you that come out of left filled and completely surprise you and take you off guard. However, the Lord will confirm that to you personally and very often through other prophetic voices speaking to you often in my life when the Lord wanted me to go in a certain direction that seemed out of left filled to me, he would use a multitude of voices, a multitude of prophetic giftings to confirm to me threefold. I can tell you and I'm not ready to share some of the things publicly that the Lord has destined me for that I know he's given to me, that I know the mantle that he's granted for my life. I know it's there because it's been prophesied through several individuals separately. None of them having ever spoken to me, none of them having ever known my own doubts within me and they spoke something that was so clear that was it was so specific and each one on their own without ever having spoken to the other, that's a confirmation. So the Lord may at times give you words that seem to come out of nowhere or it may be new direction, new information. That doesn't mean you dismiss it right away. But along with that new direction will come confirmation to you personally and even through other prophetic voices that the Lord brings your way. If it doesn't connect with what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you, it's most likely that the person wasn't really prophesying. More often than not, prophecy does confirm what the Holy Spirit has already been speaking, though there are some instances when prophets will speak something that that's completely new, a completely new form of direction for your life. So number one, does this align with God's word? Number two, does this align with what God has already spoken to me personally? And number three, does this align with other confirmed words from the Lord? So sometimes the Lord, as I said, will speak something that's a seemingly new direction for your life and other times he will confirm that word through various prophets. But I found, and this isn't a scripture reference here, so take this with a grain of salt, at least in my life personally, and it doesn't have to be the same thing with you, usually the Lord will confirm something to me three times from three separate people on three separate occasions, and these three people usually don't even speak to each other. And that's in addition to him having spoken it to me personally. So number one, does this align with God's word? Number two, does this align with what God has spoken to me personally? And number three, does this align with other confirmed words from the Lord? And on that note, God will speak to the leadership in your life. We all should have spiritual leadership in our lives. We all should have people that we look to as spiritual mothers and fathers, as the scripture says, there are many teachers, not many fathers. We should have spiritual guides that God has appointed in our lives that are healthy in their leadership style. But the Lord will confirm through them often. The Lord will speak to them too. I know that in my life, God has spoken sometimes to my leaders even before he's spoken to me. And then later he confirms it through this same method that I'm describing here. So that's number one, weigh it. If you want to see that word come to pass, you want to see the fruitfulness of what was spoken over you, actually come out in play in your life, then you're going to need to learn to weigh that word. So that's number one, weigh it. Number two, weight on it. 1 Corinthians 14-29 says, let two or three people prophesy and let the others evaluate what it says. There must be an evaluation period. Evaluation requires waiting. You cannot evaluate something in the short term, at least generally speaking you cannot. Now there are going to be exceptions to every general rule. There are moments when God will speak and he'll want you to move immediately. But remember this, when God speaks urgently, he also speaks very, very, very clearly. And by that I mean that he speaks to us in ways that we are certain that he's speaking. This isn't to say that God speaks unclearly in other times, but he will put emphasis on certain words that require us to move with immediate action and he'll make it very plain, very clear why, because he understands our humanity. He understands our weaknesses. He understands that sometimes that's what we need. But there must be generally speaking, this evaluation period, this moment of pause, whether that be 24 hours, whether that be years, whether that be minutes, there has to be this pause, this moment of waiting, this moment of evaluation. When someone speaks a word over me, if the Lord has not already confirmed that word very clearly to me personally and through others, I will allow for this evaluation period. But then there are times when the Lord has spoken to me, I know that I know that I know that he said it, then he'll speak to a prophet, then to another prophet, then to my pastor, and by the fourth individual, I'm not even evaluating it anymore. I'm just going, yeah, that's confirmation I receive it, and I don't really necessarily have to have that evaluation period. But when you begin to hear these instructions from the Lord, it's good generally speaking to have this evaluation period to really pause and consider what's being said. When a prophetic word is unclear or unconfirmed, wait on it. I'm serious because people get themselves in trouble. They'll hear someone who's very charismatic, or who's very convincing, or who seems very spiritual, maybe very popular, and they go, well, if they spoke it, then it most certainly must be the Lord. They hear that word, they believe it, and they move on, and then all the while, they didn't realize that it wasn't the Lord. Well, isn't that what happened when David came to Nathan and said, can I build the temple? He said, go and do all that's in your heart. David goes, he's excited, he's thinking, I'm the one to build the temple. And then God speaks to the prophet and says, you spoke presumptuously, I don't want him to build the temple, his son can do it. And now the prophet has to go back and say, David, look, I'm sorry, I didn't hear from the Lord properly. In fact, you are not the one to do it. So sometimes people do speak out of turn. Sometimes he will speak out of emotion, out of their own imagination. It's not because they're evil. It's not because they're false prophets. It's not because they have bad intentions. It's because we're all human. And we all make mistakes in our giftings and the prophetic ministry is no different. And so there must be this period where at least we allow for the wisdom of the spirit to help us process what has been said, that we might make sure that it's God. If something is unconfirmed or unclear, wait on it. And don't feel guilty for having to wait on it. Because sometimes Christians become tormented thinking, man, what if God spoke to me and I'm over here waiting on it and I'm not moving when God spoke to me? Well, if God was speaking, as I said, it would be absolutely clear. So when something is unclear or unconfirmed, wait on it. God will reveal the meaning. People come to me often, but the day that I had this dream, and they'll say something really strange. Like in the dream I was driving a car, but it wasn't a car, it was a boat. And we were on the ocean, but it wasn't the ocean, it was the sky. And my sister was there, and then she started speaking in tongues and then an angel came. And like all these different pieces of their life coming together for this strange dream that they have. And then they go, what does it mean? I'm going, I don't know. That's quite a lot in information in that dream that you had. And sometimes we have to realize that these dreams are just dreams. That when someone speaks prophetically, sometimes they miss it. That sometimes when somebody says, hey, this is God, sometimes it's not. And that's why important that we have the wait on it period, that moment of evaluation. In the meantime, while you're waiting for God to confirm these things, just live your life. Don't allow the enemy to put guilt in your mind. Well, if I miss the meaning of the dream, am I going to miss my call? If I miss the meaning of the dream, is God going to be angry with me? No. If God wanted to speak to you through a dream, he would do so very, very clearly. And there would be some applicable clear message that you can take to heart that he would later confirm either through more dreams or more prophetic experiences or to your inner witness by the Holy Spirit. Again, in the meantime, just live your life and don't obsess too much about it. Obey the Lord, walk in holiness, and don't let the enemy use that as condemnation over you. So number one, you weigh it. Number two, you wait on it. That's the evaluation period. Number three, water it. Now Proverbs chapter 18 verse 21 says, the tongue can bring life or death. Those who love to talk will reap the consequences. Now this particular verse has been misapplied time and time again. This is not a name it claim it verse. This Bible verse does not mean that I can speak things into existence. This Bible verse does not mean that my tongue has creative power. I can't tell how many times I've heard the conversation that goes something like this. Someone is not feeling well and they'll say, you know, I got a headache and someone else very superstitious will go, brother, don't confess that. I'm thinking, well, it's already a reality. They already have a headache. Do you really think that the people who were coming to Jesus saying, Lord, I'm blind, please open my eyes. You think he was saying, no, you're not blind. Don't confess that. Well, of course, if you want, if you admit that you need healing, you're admitting that you're sick. If you admit that you need breakthrough, you're admitting that you're not necessarily where you need to be. So this idea that speaking things out loud could ultimately cause them to come to pass. It's just not a biblical concept. I know people don't like that. I know we've been taught that, but I'm telling you read Genesis through Revelation, that's not the reality. This doesn't mean that words don't have power. So what does this verse mean? Well, this verse is simply talking about the consequences of your speech. It's much more simple than you realize. It's much more simple than, oh, I'm speaking some type of magic into the air and those words literally transformed the world around me. Why, if that were true, my goodness, what kind of a chaotic, top-seat, turvy world will we be living in? If I were to have that creative power, I'd speak another lane into existence, so I'd never have to deal with traffic. I'd speak another zero on my bank account, but then I don't know. Maybe they'd arrest me for fraud. They'd say, where did this extra money come from? People would cause inflation. They'd be speaking dollars into existence. A lot of people would be dead if we had this life or death power thing. I wish they would, you know, some of you have said it, don't have to admit that necessarily in the chat, but some people have said things like that. And what happens is we get this superstitious, unrealistic view of this verse and we think that we have God-like power to call things and create things that's not what we've been called to do. God started the world, we steward the world. God created the world, we cultivate the world. God called things into existence. We call things into order, but we don't have this creative power in our words. We only have the authority that the Bible gives us. If we had that creative power, again, a very confusing world we would live in indeed. So this portion of Scripture is talking about, again, the consequences of my words. Words program the mind. That's the power of words. So if I hear something my whole life that you, let's say you hear, you're not wanted, you're not wanted, you're not wanted, you're not wanted, well, what's that gonna do to your mind? You're gonna begin to believe that you're not wanted. You're unloved, you're unloved, you're unloved. Those words being spoken over you program the way you think. Here's how it works. Words become thoughts. Thoughts become thought patterns. Thought patterns become feelings. Feelings become actions. Actions become habits. And habits are what produce life results. That's the power of words. Words have the power to kill or create faith. Why? Because faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. When you hear the truth, faith is produced for that truth. Faith is produced when you hear the truth of the word of God. The word of God produces faith for what it promises. Just on the opposite end, if I'm hearing the lies of the enemy, it can kill my faith. So when I talk about watering the prophetic word, I'm not talking about this hocus pocus magic approach that is imaginative in what it teaches in regards to our ability to speak things into existence. Rather, I'm talking about being responsible with your words because your words dictate your thought patterns. They dictate and indicate your thought patterns, actually. And so when you speak those words, my question to you is, are you watering what God has promised to you? Or are you killing your faith for it? Someone prophesies over you that you're going to go to the nations and all you can say is, well, I don't know, I don't think I am. Well, I don't know, I think I'm too flawed. Well, I don't have what it takes. Well, I don't have the resources. Well, I don't have the personality. I don't have the charisma. I don't have the ability to speak. Well, if it was going to happen, it would have happened by now. Why is it taking so long? And you begin to murmur and complain and you're killing your own faith because you're hearing your own words and you don't realize that you're not watering that word, you're producing weeds that choke out the life from it. Be careful, by the way, who you come around because others have the power to speak life or death. Again, not the literal ability to kill you with their words, but the ability to program your thought patterns and thus your feelings and your behaviors and your lifestyle. People can speak things against what God has spoken for you. Whereas God may tell you, I've called you to the nations. I've called you as a prophet. I've called you as a teacher or evangelist or pastor or apostle. I've called you to operate in the gift of healing. I've called you to do great things. Others might say, well, I don't know, that doesn't seem like you to me. Well, I don't know, that doesn't seem like something you would do. Well, I don't know, you, you of all people, and they begin to tear you down. Be careful who you allow around you when you're cultivating a word. When God has given you a word, be careful who you allow to speak into your life. I sense the anointing so strong on what I'm saying right now. I'm telling you, God is speaking to someone right now. Be careful who you allow around you when God has spoken a word. Why? Because those people around you can either produce faith or doubt by what they say. That's the power of life and death in the tongue. Hebrews 111 says, Now faith is a substance of things hoped for. The evidence of things not seen. Faith is a substance. In other words, if I can have the faith for it, it's as good as me holding it. Well, think about Joseph. Now, nothing could stop the Word of God from coming to pass in the life of Joseph, but people sure tried. Think about the fact that because Joseph spoke his dreams out, because Joseph spoke aloud the realities of the Word that he had received, suddenly people came to try to destroy his destiny out of jealousy and anger and pettiness. And now instead of protecting what God had given to him, because he just told it to everyone, now there were others who were coming to try to kill his faith. God said they're going to bow and they said, Who are you that we would bow? God said, I'm going to raise you. They said, Who are you that God would raise you? God said, I'm going to give you a favor. They say, Who are you that you have God's favor? You're just one, you're just our brother. Who do you think you are? And they kill the faith for the Word. You have to learn to protect the promise that God gave to you. Not that the promises of God are weak. Promises of God are not weak. The promises of God are based on the sovereignty of God, but your participation with those promises is based on your decision. And your decision is based on you. And sometimes we can become very weak if we allow others to speak things that distract from and kill our faith to receive it. That's what blocks prophetic words from coming to pass. It's not because God doesn't have the power to bring it, but God in his wisdom has chosen to allow our free will to play out. God in his wisdom has chosen to give us choices. To give us responsibility. To partner with men in the earth. Well, wasn't that the way it was in the beginning when God created Adam? That there was this partnership that God told them be fruitful, multiply, to have dominion? Why have dominion? Because Adam was a steward of the creation of God. God partners with us and therefore he allows us to reap the consequences of the choices that we make. The same is true with his promises. Well, hasn't God promised certain things in the Scripture that not everyone will receive? And why haven't they received it? Not because God's promise failed, but because they failed to claim that promise. They failed to walk in with the word promise them. So we don't say, well, the word of God was weak. We don't say the word of God was powerless. Rather, we say those people chose to live a life that was separate from the promises that God gave us to the word. Why wouldn't that be true of prophecy then? You see, the reality is this. Sometimes we blame on the Prophet what is actually the result of inaction. Now, this isn't to say that we should all be manipulated by those who don't get it right because sometimes people who claim to be prophetic will do that. They'll manipulate, say, well, it's not that I got it wrong. It's that you weren't walking in it. Okay, sometimes that's the case that they're just being manipulative, but oftentimes it is the case too that we're killing it. Are the words that we speak? Be very careful what you speak over the promises of God in your life. Not because it weakens the promise, because it weakens your ability to receive it, because it weakens your faith to claim it. Faith is the substance of things hoped for. That's what blocks the words. Doubt, worry. We said, Brother David, what about disobedience? Is not disobedience rooted in doubt? Well, think about how the enemy got Eve to disobey God. Did God really say? First, he got her to doubt the word. In the moment she began to doubt the word, she began to walk in disobedience. If this is blessing you and you think more people need to hear this word, maybe the Holy Spirit speaking to you, I want you to do two things. I want you to leave a like on this video right now so that more people can hear this very important message. But I also want you to leave a comment, two simple words, I believe. Whether you're watching live or on replay, write, I believe. And that's what you have to do. You have to choose faith. You have to choose faith no matter how it looks, no matter what the circumstances are dictating to you, no matter what your bank account is dictating to you, no matter what your family life is dictating to you, no matter what your health is dictating to you, if God promised it and you believe it, it's going to come to pass. When the promises of God meet the faith of men and women, miracles happen. That's when miracles take place. When the promises of God meet the faith of men and women, promises of God meet the faith of men and women. That's when miracles happen. So number one, weigh it. Number two, wait on it. Let that period of evaluation take place. Number three, water it. Speak life, life, life. And then number four, walk in it. Matthew 13, 22 says, the seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God's word. But all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth. So no fruit is produced. So we see there how worry and doubt chokes out the life from the word. This is why we must choose to walk in it. James 2, 26 says, for as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead. Do something with the word that was spoken. Again, I'll say there's so many blame profits for unfulfilled words when in action was to blame. Well, I don't know why it's taking so long. Why I don't know why it hasn't come to pass. Why I don't know why nothing's changed. What are you doing with what God promised? You see, the promises of God, really what they are, they are steps to take. And in acting in faith, I step on to that promise. The promises of God give you the permission to step out, but the promises of God won't step out for you. In some instances, yes, there are things that come automatically from being connected to Christ and the finished work of the cross. Yes, I know there are some exceptions to what I just said, but specifically in regards to the gift of prophecy and the prophetic ministry and words that are spoken over you, there is a responsibility that lays on you to step out and do something. After you've weighed it, after you've watered it, it's time to walk in it. Faith without works is dead. Once it becomes clear what God is saying, make a move, make a move. I remember when we first began to step out and do media ministry, we were raising the funds for one of our first television studios that we were building. And I remember it took a little longer than we had hoped it would take. And I'll never forget how discouraged I became when a pastor who meant, well, and by no means was he trying to be mean or anything, a pastor who meant, well, says to me, he says, well, it's taking a little long, isn't it? I said, yeah, but we're gonna push through. He goes, well, if it's taking so long, is it really God? And he put that seed of doubt in my heart and I remember hearing that. It was like someone was like, I had a balloon of faith and he just popped that balloon. I remember just filling it in my gut like just this deep worry, like, oh my goodness, is it really God? Did I miss something? And I remember thinking, wait a minute, God spoke to me, I know he did. And I, because I know God spoke to me, I because I know God spoke to me, will continue to pursue that promise and faith, sure enough, God met the need. God brought the ministry to a new place in media. God brought about the resources that we needed to do what we needed to do. All the while, I was believing for it. Now that moment of doubt came up because someone spoke something that caused me to waver and believing the promises of God, but once I dismissed what he said and I realized he meant well but no, that's wrong, yes, God spoke it just because it's taking a while doesn't mean God is not in it. I think there's this misconception that believers have. We imagine that because something is difficult or because something is challenging or because something maybe takes a little bit of work that somehow that means God is not in it, that's just not the case, that can't be the case. There is a participation that we must use. There's a participation that is ours when it comes to the promises. Participate with the promise by stepping out in faith. Do something with the word he spoke. Stop waiting for God to do all the work. Stop waiting for God to align everything perfectly before you take a chance. If it wasn't risky it wouldn't require faith but if it didn't require faith it wouldn't please God. If where you're going doesn't require faith you're not headed toward the will of God. If where you are doesn't require faith you're not standing in the will of God. The will of God will always require faith and faith means there's risk but risk is there that we might grow our faith when God speaks we step out on that promise fully believing that God is able and in doing so we receive the promise of the prophecy. The Bible is full of many promises that are never realized by many people simply because those many people won't budge. They won't step out. They want everything to be perfectly aligned. That's not how it will be. At some point you're just going to have to step out and walk in it. There are four keys to cultivating that word spoken over your life to activating that prophetic word spoken in your life. Number one, weigh it. Number two, weight on it. Number three, water it. Number four, walk in it. Now what I want you to do is begin to pray out loud in the Holy Ghost. I'm going to bring my guest on right now and he and I are going to give prophetic words as the Holy Spirit leads us. I'm serious. I want you to begin to write your prayer requests right now. Everybody watching, live or replay. Begin to pray out loud in the Holy Ghost. And I will ask the gentleman over there at the production desk to make sure you're not making noises or dropping things, guys. We need to pray in the spirit right now. Everybody, everybody online. You're going to pray in the Holy Ghost. If you pray in tongues, pray in tongues. If you don't, I want you to begin to just speak with your understanding. Write your prayer requests in the comments. We're going to ask the Holy Spirit. It's a long anointing right now. I'm telling you. We're going to ask the Lord to begin to speak to his people. That includes you. That includes you. And I know that prophecy is for today. I know that the gift of the prophetic has the power to activate things in our lives. And it's going to be a blessed time I'm telling you. So pray in the Holy Ghost right now again. You're watching live or on replay. Now, just because, I said this at the beginning but I think it's worth saying again, just because you may be watching the replay doesn't mean that God can't speak to you. In fact, God is not bound by time. Some might say, well, they were live and they spoke a word and I received it. How does that make sense? Well, God's not bound by time. So he, in fact, can still speak to you. And if you're watching live, you can speak to you too. But the point is, God is not bound by time. Also, there may be things that are spoken that multiple people will receive. Why? Because it's a true spoken by the Holy Spirit. And you may hear something and say, that sounds like it's for me. If it sounds like it's for you, just claim it. If it clicks with your spirit, just receive it. That's the beauty of the prophetic. Because it's based on the truth of the Word of God and the voice of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit speaks promises that are for every believer. So, pray in the Holy Ghost right now. I want you to pray. Believe God. Prophet Rob is here with me. My friend, just say a quick hello and then we're going to get right into this. Well, everybody, it is an honor and a privilege to be here on Vibral Revival. What a tremendous teaching. I was super blessed just listening in to the wisdom of God being poured out upon his people. Well, I know that the Holy Spirit has anointed us for this time. And Prophet Rob, as we prophesy, you're going to look just right into that camera. I want to pray right now, Father. Stir up the gift right now. Stir up the gift. Thank you, Lord. I give you the glory and the praise. Wow, wow, wow. And I'm telling you, I can sense in the Spirit people of God you praying. I really can. There's a woman watching for years you've been dealing with digestive issues. And it's come to the point now where you're afraid to eat because of the pain that's caused later. And it's disrupted family time. It's made it difficult to enjoy certain things. I pray right now in the name of Jesus that that issue with digestion would be healed. Father, I give you the glory from miracle, virtue flowing now. Touch her and set her free. I pray in the mighty name of Jesus. Prophet Rob. There is a lady that is listening. You've been having ears that ring and hurt and cause great discomfort. Now hear the Spirit of the Lord say, I'm going to bring the peace of God everything that has been ringing in your ear is going to come to a place of divine peace. The day of the ring, the day of the pain will be no more for I've sent my word to heal you and set you at liberty. I also sense that there is somebody that was dealing with fear and panic. Every time you lay down you are exhausted and suddenly you feel like the moment you lay down now I'm wide awake. I heard the Spirit of the Lord say, I give my beloved sweet rest. And I heard the Lord say, I'll remove the torment, I'll destroy the fear and I'll move you into a place of peace. Even as you lay your head down tonight you will find the rest that is needed, says the Spirit of the Lord. There's a gentleman watching you in ministry and about a year ago you were in an accident that is since then still causing you great physical pain and as a result of this accident you began taking medication, pain killers. The problem is you become addicted to those pain killers and because you're in ministry there's great shame and you've had trouble reaching out to anyone for help because of the shame that you feel you're saying to yourself, well I'm in ministry I shouldn't be dealing with this kind of sickness. I want you to know that the Holy Spirit himself is breaking that addiction right now. And not only is he breaking that addiction but he's lifting that shame. He's causing you to be restored in body and mind and emotions. Father I pray that that addiction be broken today restore unto him the joy of his salvation. I release now the healing virtue of Christ Jesus on his body break every bondage I pray and I want everyone who agree to write it in the comments. Say it out loud say amen. There is somebody that's dealing with an issue in your eye. It's almost like there is a bubble or a cloud that goes through it and I heard the Spirit of God say I am going to remove the fog and I'm going to bring you into clarity. Not only is it a fog in your eye it's a spiritual fog that is weighed heavy over your mind. And I heard the Spirit of God say today I'm releasing you from the burden of your mind the oppression of thought and I'm bringing you into clarity even as I bring clarity to your eye I bring clarity to your thought life and you will see with a brand new perspective the Lord says you'll see from above not beneath and you'll see that you're the head and not the tail and you'll see yourself prosper the Lord says I'm healing more than your eyes I'm giving you clarity of view in every perspective says the Spirit of Grace. There's a couple watching me you're believing God to give you children but because of issues there have been seasons of discouragement and you're wondering when that promise is going to come to pass and you've been praying and asking God in fact I'm speaking to the wife now God has shown you in dreams this child I see light skin and light blonde hair and God has given you that dream and you've been asking God to confirm that I believe the Holy Spirit is confirming that today and I pray in the name of Jesus that by this time next year that you would have a son I want everyone praying right now ask the Holy Spirit to begin to stir the healing virtue I give you the glory Lord Father I speak life and resurrection power Lord let them have that son in the name of Jesus I give you the glory and the honor thank you Jesus I see somebody that has been dealing with a cluster headache you've been getting migraines and I heard the Spirit of God say these words I'm about to bring you into a place where all pain lifts I'm bringing you into a season where the burden of the mind will be no more this is a set season where you will no longer live in the realm of overwhelm that leads to the burden he says but I will bring you into a place of freedom into a place of liberty and even as you feel like the only way to get clarity is when I lay down and do nothing that's when your headache lifts the Lord says I'm going to bring you into a place of peace and in this peace the headache will be destroyed this cluster headache that comes and it becomes like a migraine for 2-3 days I hear the Spirit of God saying I'm sending my word even now to bring clarity to your mind to bring peace to your head and there will be no more ache in your body I'm sovereignly sending my word to heal you even now by watching your dealing with scoliosis and not only has this produced physical discomfort but you've been battling anxiety for fear of your future and the Lord wants you to know first and foremost I can sense the Holy Spirit speaking to me the Lord wants you to know that there's no reason to be afraid that he's walking with you in this season of great testing and I want to pray right now that God would begin to straighten that I mean right now as you watch this broadcast that your spine would begin to straighten you may even begin to hear popping in your back that's the healing touch of God Father I pray in the name of Jesus that this spine would be straightened Lord remove this scoliosis from that spine I rebuke it now in the name of the one whom I serve and Father I pray that the fear of the future would be removed let this healing miracle be the point of faith the point of contact for that faith I give you the glory and the honor in Jesus name I had seen a woman that's been praying for her husband and I heard the Lord say I'm gonna take away negative words and negative thoughts and I saw you open your mouth and begin to bless your husband and I suddenly saw butterflies coming out of your mouth and I said Lord what meaneth this transformation has now been deposited into your spirit you'll no longer speak from the realm of fear or anger or from the place of discouragement I will give you the language of life and you'll speak words of hope and you will begin to see that love never fails you'll see the love of God begin to descend upon your husband and he'll suddenly have a passion to say let's go to church and I will do the work from there I heard the spirit of God say get ready because there is a transformation that is taking place the day of darkness there is no more the day of light has come for I've heard your cry by my spirit says the Lord there's a woman watching over the past year and a half you've suffered tremendous loss in your business and month over month you kept saying how can it get any worse and you've seen it get worse and worse and worse I'm gonna believe God with you here's my prayer of faith I wanna join my faith with yours that the next seven months you'll see God begin to turn things around you don't have to so for that that's just God speaking to you I believe that's the word and you'll know that's you because there's like this almost like a bursting inside it's that inner witness of the Holy Ghost that woman watching you've been seeing it month over month over the past year and a half and you begin to get very worried and you're becoming concerned and you said to the Lord didn't you promise that you would be a supporter of the kingdom well I'm gonna believe God with you that over the next seven months you're gonna see him turn it around the reason I'm saying seven is so that you can pinpoint God's hand you've tried everything you know to do and now that you've done all that you can it's time for God to do what only God can do Father I thank you that you make a way where there seems to be no way and I pray to the Lord that she would begin to turn it around Lord your hand is not too short that it cannot save her from this time of trouble turn it around Lord that she might be a supporter of your kingdom in Jesus name I just saw a man that has swelling in his knees his ankles and his feet and I heard the spirit of God say I'm gonna get rid of the edema I'm gonna remove the swelling and I'm gonna cause my glory to press on you and I literally saw God squeeze you and when he squeezed you I saw dreams and visions come alive in you I heard the Lord say get ready because I'm gonna give you a dream not only of your healing but you're gonna have a dream of a future and a hope the days of darkness the days of feeling I'm unable to accomplish the things that have been set before me and declared by God those days are now over the day of movement the day of agility the day of healing has come upon you rejoice for a new season has began in your life by my spirit there there's a young man watching and you've been watching this channel for quite a while and as you've been watching you've been inspired not only by the word by the ministry itself and you've said within your heart Lord I want to do that too God has put a word in your spirit and God has gifted you in the area of media and I'm gonna pray that God would impart a portion according to your faith from this ministry that's my prayer that God would take a portion of the mantle that's on this ministry and impart a portion to you according to your faith that the capacity of your faith to receive would determine the portion that's yours father I thank you that you've anointed him as an evangelist and as a minister of healing and Lord I pray in the name of Jesus that there would be an impartation that takes place even now I thank you father that you're giving him boldness and a hope for the future I give you the glory Lord Prophet Robert Yes I saw that there is a young man couldn't been more than 1213 you've been dealing with bad dreams and torment and I heard the spirit of the Lord say the enemy is trying to confuse you because there is a prophetic gifting in your life and you will be a dreamer of dreams you will be a man who hears and sees what the spirit of the Lord is saying Lord the spirit of God say today I am canceling the torment I'm removing the spirit of fear and I'm going to not only give you rest but I'm going to give you a dream from the third heaven this is a day that you'll ascend to a higher place and you will see with eyes of clarity there will no longer be a fear as you lay down but there will be a rest and upon this rest you will see the promises begin to manifest in your life get ready says the Lord there is a fresh unfolding of a greater dimension placed into your life right now prophetically by the spirit there's a river you just stepped in prophet robin it's like it's like a flow a flow a flow so I want you to just the next few minutes I'll jump back in as I'm led by the spirit but just take it until I jump back in there's a flow on you right now there is a Bonnie I don't know where you are but I heard Bonnie this is your season where I will begin to do something new in your life the day of adversity and the day of struggle is over you have seen yourself in the of of a valley you have seen yourself in the wilderness and I heard the spirit of God say to tell you that the wilderness is not a low place he said the wilderness is a step up place the Bible says in the book of Matthew chapter 4 that Jesus was led up into the wilderness and I hear the spirit of the Lord say you will look at the season you're in and you will recognize you're in an up place and when you understand this you'll see that it's a stepping stone into the promise the Lord says it's your season to step into the promises for the promises of God or sealed in the heaven as a yes and amen it's a brand new season for you I saw somebody that was dealing with an elbow issue and in this issue it causes your hand to hurt and your shoulder and your neck and I heard the spirit of God say I'm bringing your body into alignment the day of pain in your right side is over this is a day of healing and I literally saw as you stretched your arm out I heard a click and I heard the Lord say it's a new day of alignment not only am I aligning your elbow in your body he said I'm aligning your mind you will now see from above and you will see with the eyes of clarity all the promises that I have for you in the in in this next season says the spirit of God I heard there are some people there's many of you that are going to identify that you've been going through a season where it feels like everything is falling down you've been let down you've been disappointed but I heard the spirit of God say David was let down through a window and so was the apostle Paul he says when I let you down he says I'm actually letting you out to a new place he says no longer will you see through the eyes of discouragement but you'll see through the sovereignty of grace he says the let down was not to destroy he said it was to actually free you the Lord says I am separating you from some of the crowds and some of the frustrations that have surrounded you this let down was not to destroy you was actually to free you step into the freedom that I'm giving you and you will see the day of victory come sooner than later you will see the promises manifest and you will see the goodness of God lead you into a place of victory I literally see smiles coming upon the faces of a people and they are rejoicing I heard the spirit of God say that there is a family that has been crying out for salvation I don't know why but I gotta say this and you live by a field of sunflowers it's they spring up at certain times of the year and I heard the Lord say when you see the sunflowers rise in the field across from you he says and you see their faces turn up it's a sign that my glory is shining over your house the faces of your family will turn up and they will sovereignly be set free there is a season of the sunflower the sunflower is going to blossom it's going to bloom and it's gonna be a sign of the time of healing for your family it's gonna be the sign of salvation I heard somebody crying out because they have been locked in dark places they have been locked in traumas there has been some things that you've shared with your family this is a young lady there's some things that you've shared with your family and your family wants to sweep it under the rug thoughts of suicide are running through these these individuals and I heard the spirit of God say I am gonna destroy the yoke of suicide I'm gonna remove the thoughts of death I am gonna heal you allow my grace to come and be a bomb of gilead God says I am gonna remove the debris that's been swept under the carpet and I am gonna heal your heart and I am gonna cause your family to understand how serious this issue is and with clarity your family will know what to do clarity will come to your house clarity will come to you and suddenly the pain will lift and joy will be restored God says it's a season of restoration and it's a season of healing by my presence says the Lord there is such a beautiful anointing here right now I'm telling you I want you right now again people of God keep praying in the spirit I want you to write this in the comment section this isn't a gimmick this is you know we have means of technology this is a modern day and so these are the ways we can respond publicly I want you to write Lord I'm listening and let that be your prayer let that be a declaration of faith you saying Lord I'm listening I'm ready to hear from you and then I just want you to pray in the Holy Ghost and believe God that he's speaking and again you may hear words that that click with your spirit just claim what clicks with your spirit I'm telling you the Holy Spirit can speak to more than one person at a time and he can speak to live and replay viewers it doesn't matter he's not limited like we're limited so Father I thank you for these words going forward I thank you that that spirit of prophecy is being stirred in fact there is someone watching right now as soon as I was praying that as soon as I was saying that somebody watching who said within themself Lord I want the gift of prophecy this was something that you said just as we were praying you were watching us flow back and forth it's something in you was just ignited in the spirit like a fire that rose up in you that is the inspiration of the spirit and even now as I'm declaring this over you there is a heavy weight of glory coming upon you wherever you are I thank you Father that you are activating that spiritual gift of prophecy Lord I pray in the name of Jesus that you would stir up stir up stir up that gift oh my goodness there's a boldness coming on you because in the past you prayed for this gift and you've even had people lay hands on you but you've not done anything with it but today is different because you've heard the word of how to cultivate what God has spoken now you're going to go forward not just with that gift of the prophetic there's going to be a new and fresh boldness that comes upon you and when you used to shy away from speaking now you're going to be one who declares it boldly where you used to hesitate now you're going to move as soon as the spirit stirs you to speak I thank you Father that it's so in the mighty name of Jesus Prophet Robin yeah there is a company of people that are being woken up two three four in the morning in the midnight hours and your first prayer becomes Lord I have this that and the other to do but the Lord says you went to bed asking for answers and I heard the spirit of the Lord say the reason I'm waking you up it's because it's your time to say speak Lord your servant hears if you would decree that you would see that I would deposit a word within your belly it would be the season where you would begin to write down the mysteries and these would be the words that will free your family free your loved ones bring healing to your life these will be the places where I'll deposit dreams and I will release promises to you that are anew the Lord says do not sleep say speak Lord your servant hears and get ready to receive an impartation and a download from the heavens there there I'm telling you if you'll have the faith to receive it God will deposit it just as he was talking about this company of people who are being woken up you said like three or four in the morning right yes sir there's there's I'm telling you it is a new season that we're there there's we're just coming into something that God is doing that's very special in this day and age and we get to be a part of it there are people that God is anointing for ministry even now people that God whoa I just this is what I just heard in my spirit the Holy Spirit spoke it very clearly God says I'm taking you from torment and I'm putting you to the place of ministry so God is going to take you from torment and raise you into ministry now that may be a process for some that may be a moment of deliverance like Saul to Paul for others but God is taking you from torment to a ministry of deliverance to where once where you were tormented in your mind God's going to use your life as a testimony and as a vessel to minister to others who were I'm telling you there are people watching me right now OCD anxiety depression borderline schizophrenia I'm talking all sorts of mental illnesses and issues God wants to use you you may have disqualified yourself because you feel like what you've dealt with is just too far gone but I'm telling you there is going to be a turnaround and even now I can sense the strength of the spirit pushing back against the darkness in your life so I pray father that you would take them from torment to ministry my goodness that's a strong sense I'm telling you I'm telling you that's the Holy Ghost speaking from torment to ministry from torment to ministry you're going to go from crying out to God saying Lord my mind is in turmoil I'm in torment I'm anguished of the soul to ministering freedom to those who need I thank you father for the anointing of the Holy Ghost now flowing right through that camera through my hand and touching them right where they are let the fire of the Holy Ghost come upon them Lord burn out every bondage in the mighty name of Jesus we pray I want you to say because you believe it say amen wow such a strong anointing here yes I just picked up that there are some people that really feel like life has been stepping all over them you feel like you've been trampled on by people that you love and even by people at work and I heard the Spirit of the Lord say I have a word for you found in Genesis chapter 49 verse 19 his word is to the people called Gad and he says Gad you are a troop and you will be trampled upon but you shall triumph at last I heard the Spirit of God say this is the this is a new day you will now triumph the day of being trampled on is over the day of triumph is at hand I am going to cause you to rise up and be the strong and you will become the ferocious deliverers matter of fact the Bible says in the book of chronicles that the people of Gad joined David in the battle and they were ferocious like lions and their feet were like gazelle and they were trained for war I hear the Spirit of God say this is the day that you will become ferocious like lions your feet will become like gazelles and you will become skillful warriors and bring about a new day and victory in your life this is God's promise to you now don't skip ahead there are some who are going to skip through the video and just kind of hope they land on the word I'm telling you don't skip ahead because even if God doesn't speak specifically to your situation that anointing is flowing just participate in this moment that the Holy Spirit has reserved with this power don't skip ahead just let the Holy Spirit speak prophet Rob I want you to take another few minutes just go on the flow I don't want to I know you got a very strong flow on you and I want to make sure I honor that go ahead yeah matter of fact I heard the Spirit of God say this is the season that my people will not be contained there's some people that feel like everything is bottlenecked like everything is stuck but I heard the Lord say you will not be contained he says you're like Joseph a fruitful son planted by the well and your branches will grow over the wall your vines will be filled and flourishing I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this is the season to look again at your scenario where I'm going to bring answers suddenly even as it was even as it was with Aaron so will it be with you when there is a group of people murmuring Aaron was commanded by Moses to bring his rod which was dead and put it before the Ark of the Covenant and can I tell you what happened it gave fruit and it produced I'm here to tell you that suddenly there is going to be a change in your finances a change in your health there's going to be a fruitful place it's going to grow I don't know why but there's somebody also that I need to speak to and I hear the Spirit of the Lord say you have felt like you have always been thrown into problems but the Lord says you are a word of wisdom you are a solution and the scripture or the thought that comes to me is remember when King Solomon had to make a choice and he said these words bring me my sword and I will cut the baby in half I hear the Spirit of God say the wisdom of God is going to come upon your mouth and you are going to be able to discern what is right from wrong and when the word of wisdom comes you will see the promotion of the Lord bring favor this is a brand new season and this is the season of great blessing and favor so rejoice a new day has come there is somebody that has been struggling with your marriage and your thinking of throwing in the towel and literally heard you say Lord I surrender but I heard the Spirit of the Lord say you have surrendered you have now surrendered to me you are in the right place you have surrendered saying I'm done I'm done fighting I'm done dealing with it but the Lord says you needed to surrender the battle to me now that you've committed this man unto my hands he says now let me do the work in you the Lord says you have prayed that that your husband might be changed but the Lord says now pray the prayer Lord do the work in me I saw love flowing out of your mouth and I saw as love came the scripture first Corinthians chapter 13 it's the chapter of love the 16th attribute of love declares love never fails and I hear the Spirit of the Lord say my love to you and my love through you will not fail get ready to see a sudden healing turnaround change and transformation for I am healing marriages in this very hour says the spirit of grace there's someone who's watching you've been dealing with thoughts of suicide and this has been something that's been hanging over your head for maybe the past six months where you've been really seriously considering this father I pray in the name of Jesus that that bondage would be broken let the peace of the Holy Ghost begin to I'm telling you the peace of God is filling you now father I pray in the name of Jesus the Holy Spirit would come like a mighty rushing wind and I pray Lord that you would rebuke the enemy yourself Lord cause them to walk in the joy of this spirit I pray let them know the depths of the glory of God I thank you father you're working in them now also someone there's there's there's problems I don't even I can even describe the problem because I don't I don't fully understand what I'm seeing in the physical sense but it's like the shins your shins almost like a splintered what are you seeing the same thing yeah I was picking up somebody like has a shin splints and what is that what is a shin shin splints is when the front of the foot or the front of the leg is extremely sore as painful to walk and it's hard to maneuver and it's and I also saw somebody was dealing with a plantar fasciitis which is the bottom of the feet they ache and they pain and they it's hard to move well someone watching right now I'm telling you God's healing you and you know it's you because there's like a heat coming on your body there's such an anointing flowing right now I'm telling you there's like a heat coming on your body right now miracles are happening all over not just this is the time of the prophetic but I'm telling you also miracles are happening healing virtue is flowing someone with their issue with their shins God is healing and you can feel that heat on your body you just say thank you Jesus my goodness Prophet Robert yeah matter of fact there is there is a company of people that have feel like I'm living in a crowd and I can't think clearly I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this is your Zacchaeus moment in Luke chapter 19 Zacchaeus wanted to have an encounter with Jesus but he couldn't because of a crowd and I heard the Spirit of the Lord say this is your run ahead and leave it behind moment you're going to run to the tree which is the cross and when Zacchaeus came to the tree he went up I heard the Spirit of the Lord say as you separate I'm going to give you the power to elevate and from the high place you'll be able to look over the things that were once plaguing you and troubling you from a high place from a perspective from above clarity will come and you will see the valley you'll see the promises that I have the Lord says this is a season of clearing it's a season of separation do not be afraid of it because this is where I'll cause you to ascend and see from above every promise that I have the Lord says be not afraid to separate be ready to ascend and see with the eyes of clarity it's a brand new day in your life says the Spirit of the Lord I know by the Spirit that there's a word in you maybe take the next 60 seconds there's a word in you that will apply to every believer something God is speaking for this season you're watching right now this is a word you can receive I know I'm I'm not putting him on the spot because I know by the Spirit there's a word in him that applies to every believer it's for this season Prophet Robb speak it I heard the Spirit of the Lord say do not be deterred by the things that are taking place in the world though it may seem dark the Lord says I am a light to the world I set my son to be a light in the world and now I'm awakening you as a light in the world the Lord says darkness is about to flee because I'm going to cause my body of Christ to begin to shine and illuminate and as the shine of God goes forth there will be a revival an awakening and a healing of families friends and the body of Christ there will be a new move of the Spirit that will bring forth miracle signs and wonders God says this is the season in which you must ask big the day of begging me for little things are over this is your big ask season this is the season where you become like Elisha who said please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me and the Lord says the Prophet declared to Elisha you've asked a difficult thing that word difficult means nearly impossible but can I tell you what Elisha received the double portion I heard the Lord say this is your big ask season this is the season in which I will give to you greater measure greater promises and greater fulfillment you will cause you will see the light in you cause darkness to flee and many to be healed get ready says the Lord salvation will spring up wherever you are because you're a carrier of glory ask big I love it I just sense that so strong I am that's the season I'm in I know for sure that the Lord's really taking us to different places I want to share testimony with you this is really I'm telling you this is really going to bless you I I know that somebody listening to this is really going to be encouraged by this testimony many of you know we had tornadoes here recently in the Austin area now from what I'm told I don't know how true this is but from what I'm told and at least in the research I've done tornadoes aren't really common in this specific area you know in Austin which is the major city you have some of the smaller cities Flugerville and huddle and round rock and so forth in Georgetown you know my family lives in huddle and these tornadoes came while Steve and I were traveling with the team so while I'm sitting in Orlando my wife and daughter and my parents my parents live with me for this season they were in the house huddled together under the stairs waiting for the tornado warnings to pass over them so my wife was sending me pictures and videos of her and my daughter and my daughter sitting there looking around not really knowing what's going on my brother his family had to hide in their bathtubs and people all over the region were just bracing for really what they believed was going to be an absolute devastation and as you saw in the news there was devastation all throughout the region and you know our studio that we're building here we're actually in it now our studio was in round rock is in round rock I should say and that's exactly the city where the tornadoes hit let me show you some of the damage here check this out this video right here and just Tim don't don't just play it I want to kind of pause it here too right over here you see some of the damage I'll tell you can you pause it is that possible no you can't okay well there's a there's I want you to look be on the lookout here there's a portion where you can see the roof is completely gone so here's the damage in the area the debris the playgrounds see that right there to the left you can see the roof has been removed from the building it was torn off in fact it was torn off and thrown onto a house that was also destroyed broken glass broken pieces right there's a solar panels that were ripped off the house behind the studio their roof caved in there's a piece of the roof right there on the floor that was torn off and it was just absolute mayhem when my team told me about it it was just chaotic you can take the video down actually leave this part leave this part you can see here the roof is completely gone completely gone and this is the devastation that struck the area and this isn't just our building this was many buildings all over you can go ahead and remove that now please come back to the studio now there's a testimony here and I know some of you watching that may be disturbing to some and some of you may say well my goodness it's so sad it's so devastating yes I even hesitated to share this testimony because I didn't want people to think that I was gloating in the face of such devastation people really suffered here people are suffering here there are still some homes completely leveled and it was it was quite a trying time now remember I was in Orlando when all this happened and so I come down to Austin after my trip to Orlando and I came to with the team we were looking at some of the issues trying to assess what happened what does this mean for us and where do we go from here and my team reported to me that that roof that was torn off that house that was destroyed was the primary damage here's the thing that not a lot of people know we haven't taken over the second half of the building here yet there's another organization that leases they got a few more months and then we take over in a few months and of course many of you know the project phases and we start building on the second half of the phase but they still have a few more months on on their lease that they want to use here's what I found out and again I'm not saying this to gloat and I don't want it to seem like I'm celebrating and dancing on others people's devastation by no means but there's a testimony here and there's favor here that roof that was torn off was only on the other half of the building the devastation that you saw with fences coming down solar panels being ripped off debris everywhere it was only on the other half of the building guys you got to understand this their organization is in the exact same building as ours there was a house behind our studio destroyed the other side destroyed we came here this morning they're still reconstructing the roof they're going to be shut down for quite a while our side was virtually unharmed can you believe that our side was virtually unharmed there was a tiny hole it's patched up now it was right above there there was a tiny hole that tore through the roof many of you saw it on my instagram there was a tiny hole and the water that flooded the building didn't damage any equipment hear me now it didn't damage any equipment why because we just so happened to be in Orlando and we had traveled with the equipment and all the equipment was still in cases so you gotta imagine this guys of all the cities that experienced the tornadoes it was round rock in the middle of construction of all the buildings that were hit this was one of them but it was only the other side of the building that was destroyed our building our side was left virtually undamaged intact a tiny little patch that we had to do and none of the water damage affected any of the equipment why because of the timing of God we heard his voice to go to Orlando we just so happened to be in Orlando and therefore none of the equipment was damaged and I'm able to live stream to you today virtually no no disruptions whatsoever that is the favor of God and that's the testimony I have you heard about the tornadoes yes they came through in fact the tornadoes that came through almost hit my house it was just on the other side that houses were destroyed things were thrown everywhere but it didn't come near to us well doesn't the scripture say something along the lines of some falling on one side and others falling on the other but it will not come near you that's the favor and the protection of God that's on this ministry why because it's the Holy Spirit's ministry when you obey God you walk in God's protection when you obey God you walk according to God's favor this is what the Bible says in Matthew chapter 6 verse 25 some of you are so worried you're worried about the economy you're worried about weather patterns you're worried about government overreach you're worried about sicknesses you're worried about things that are going around the world and there will always be chaos in the world here's what Jesus speaks to us in the middle of the chaos that is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life whether you have enough food and drink or enough clothes to wear isn't life more than food and your body more than clothing look at the birds they don't plant or harvest or store food and barns for your heavenly Father feeds them and aren't you far more valuable to them to him than they are can all your worries add a single moment to your life don't worry about your clothing look at the lilies of the field and how they grow they don't work or make their clothing yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are and if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and then thrown into the fire tomorrow he will certainly care for you why do you have so little faith that's what Jesus asks us why do you have so little faith so don't worry about these things saying what will we eat, what will we drink where these things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs watch this key verse verse 33 seek the kingdom of God above all else and live righteously and he will give you everything you need when you live kingdom minded when you put God first and you live righteously he takes care of not only all your material needs but he takes care of the material needs of those around you why is there favor on this ministry why is God's hand on this ministry I'll tell you it's got nothing to do with me I just obey God it's him, it's him, it's him, it's all him and because we do things how he wants it, when he wants it according to how he wants it done there's favor, there's protection we give generously why because God says to do it we live righteously why because God says to do it that is my challenge to you put the kingdom of God first and you've got nothing to fear put God's house first and you've got nothing to worry about your house you know when I give to ministries and churches sometimes it can hurt sometimes I hesitate sometimes I'm like Lord you're asking me quite a bit to give you and when me and my wife give out of our personal income to other ministries and churches sometimes it's challenging these numbers that God speaks and I'm like Lord you know I thank you for stretching my faith but sometimes I'm going Lord is there anyone else that you can get to do this but he's given me the joy of giving and we've seen that in our lives we're soulers we're givers and look God protected our house nothing touched us why because when you put the kingdom of God first everything else falls into place I want to challenge you right now many of you know we're building our TV studio in Round Rock Texas that's what you saw there I want you to go right now to davidhernandezministries.com slash expand you know guys we're only $14,000 away from the $2 million mark would you do me a favor would you help us get to that $2 million mark this week I think we can do it tonight and the next 40 I think we can do it next 48 to 72 hours there's only $14,000 left and then we reach the $2 million mark and then that means we start fresh for the month of April with that final amount to raise for that phase one go right now davidhernandezministries.com and if you watch this years from now when the project is complete and this website is no longer up to date then just sew a regular gift into davidhernandezministries if you give now at that specific link davidhernandezministries.com slash expand it'll go specifically toward the project if you give when the project is done in the future or you give at the general link it's not going to be designated toward that specifically but I want to challenge you people of God step out and face stop worrying about the future stop worrying about what the media is saying God's giving you a hope and a future there's something to rejoice about in your future there are dreams that God has given you there are dreams there are visions there are hopes that he's placed in your heart that are kingdom centered this is how you bring him to pass by sewing there are visions of others God will sew into yours so you see this number this is nothing for God I'm telling you this is nothing for God we're amazed at how much progress we made and I'm telling you this need will be met why because it's God's project God protects his own projects I think there's evidence enough with that tornado there my goodness but go right now davidhernandezministries.com slash expand and give a gift toward this project in the future when the project's done maybe years from now months from now project's done that link slash expand may not work it may be for another project so always check the website for details but for now that's what the link is serving as if you do watch it in the future you can still give a general gift to the ministry but davidhernandezministries.com slash expand the links are in the comments section and I'm watching the giving already beginning to come in from all around the world I believe we can finish that up I believe we can get to the $2 million mark in the next 48 to 72 hours there's only about $14,000 left to go we can do it maybe there's a few of you you can sew a thousand maybe some 500 maybe some 100 but whatever it is just do what you can some can do 25 some can only do 5 that's okay there's some seasons where I can only do 5 and that's okay just do what the Holy Spirit is leading you to do and do it right now well if you enjoyed this teaching and you were blessed by it I want to encourage you to watch my teaching how to activate the anointing of the Holy Spirit and in that teaching I give you keys to activating the power of the Holy Spirit in your life
