 Last class we looked at the gift of tongues, the benefits of the gift of tongues, the gift of interpretation of tongues, and we looked at how that gift operates and how it benefits us personally and also for the congregation. We started by looking at the gift of prophecy, we looked at some Old Testament examples, and we also looked at, studied some of the New Testament examples, and in that we, in the New Testament examples, we looked at how some, there were some people who prophesied just before, at the time of Jesus birth, during the time, and he was a child. And also we looked at the early church, and the gift of prophecy was very much there, there were prophets who were ministering in the early church in Jerusalem, in Antioch. And so the gift of prophecy very much, very much available for us today as a church, as a New Testament church. So we also saw what prophecy does. So can anyone just put it on the chat or tell what is the simple gift of prophecy, what does it accomplish, what does it bring about anyone, what is the simple gift of prophecy as we know it, what does it accomplish, edification, exhortation, comfort, yeah. So there is strength, there is a building up, there is encouragement, strength, encouragement and comfort, right, consolation. So which is really important, which is really necessary for every believer, and so either individually or collectively as a church, this is for us, right, and the Holy Spirit who knows those who need strength, the Holy Spirit who knows those who need the encouragement and those who need comforting, right. He inspires the believer to take that message or to carry out or do something so that it brings about edification, exhortation and comfort, right. And we see that in 1 Corinthians 14, edification, exhortation and comfort, 1 Corinthians 14 the verse 3, like Hugh prophesies speaks, so that's a really, you know, in a very concise manner if you want to explain and say, okay, what does prophecy actually bring about, what does it accomplish, 1 Corinthians 14, 3 is, you know, is the place to go, it says very clearly it brings about these three aspects, okay. Now prophecy also has the element of correction, has the element of foretelling, you know, what is in the future and so on. So that is also, you know, part of the prophetic ministry and we also saw that there are different levels, right, or different ways in which prophecy operates, like, it's one of the simple gift of prophecy that every believer is, you know, is called upon or encouraged to walk in. And what is that, that is to, that is, just to speak forth or to do or to carry out what God inspires, what Holy Spirit inspires, what Holy Spirit leads us, what the Holy Spirit leads us and inspire us to speak or to do, right. So which is there for every believer, which is there for all believers, then we also see that there are believers in the body of Christ, placed in the body of Christ. And for them, the role and the function is to bring about or to prophesy or to bring edification to the body of Christ. So God works in them consistently in that. So what we call as prophesying believers, they are not prophets, but prophesying believers and consistently they walk in it. And then we also see the ministry gift, what we see in Ephesians 4, 11 and 12, the ministry gift of the prophet. And here also it is for a few, right, or for some, the Lord will call and say, okay, this is what you are called to walk in, you know, this is what you need to be doing. This is your calling and the calling of the ministry gift of the prophet. So we see several different levels. Okay, so, and we also looked at what prophecy does, you know, in the sense, yes, edification, exhortation, comfort, but, you know, when, what are the other things that prophecy can actually accomplish to establish the call of God, to confirm the word of God, what God has already spoken in practical ways, direction, and also to enable us to fight the good fight of faith, you know, just like Timothy would instruct, sorry, Paul would instruct Timothy and say, by these prophecies that you would wage the good warfare, first Timothy 1 and verse 18. So it's important for us to understand how is this prophecy received, right? So how is prophecy received? So similarly, like for all the gifts, the, what we see is that the one main foundation, the basic, you know, foundation is that prophecy is, prophecy or any other gifts are received or perceived through the spiritual senses, right, through the spiritual senses. God speaks to us, speaks to us in our spirit. So we need to be keen, we need to be sharp in the inner man in order to receive or perceive what God is placing in our hearts, right? And so, just like how our five natural physical senses work, we need to perceive from God what he is putting in our spirit. Perceive is to just to become aware of or to be conscious of something, to realize it, right, to understand it. So, and of course, it involves the element of discerning, checking, testing, and then carrying it out, either receiving it or, you know, sometimes maybe just, if you're not sure, just putting it there for some time, putting it on the bench for some time, and then, and when God gives the confirmation to take it forward, right? Okay, so let's look at how prophecy is received. If you look at, you know, Hosea chapter 12 and verse 10, okay, God says, I have also, it's, let me just put it on the notes, you can see that it's coming up. Okay, so we see that God uses our spiritual sense to communicate to our spiritual senses, and we also see in Scripture that God uses visions or visual things or symbols, pictures, or moving pictures, to communicate a message, right? And so our responsibility is to receive it, to understand it, to interpret it, and to be obedient to it, okay? So we see this, you know, this Scripture, Hosea 12 and verse 10, I have also spoken by the prophets and have multiplied visions. I have given symbols through the witness of the prophets. So the Lord is saying, you know, I have spoken by the prophets, so these are the ones who, who are my spokespersons, who are my mouthpieces, right? And, and the Lord says that I have multiplied visions or increased visions, and also He says that I have communicated or given symbols through the witness of the prophets, so visions and symbols, okay. Another Scripture that we can look at, a couple of other verses that we can look at is, you know, let me just put it here. It's Numbers, Numbers 12 and verses 5 through 8. Let me read that out, Numbers 12, 5 to 8. So Numbers 12 says this, then the Lord came down in the pillar of cloud and stood in the door of the tabernacle and called Aaron and Miriam, and they went forward. Then he said, here now my words, if there is a prophet among you, I the Lord, make myself known to him in a vision. I speak to him in a dream, not so with my Moses, my servant Moses, he's faithful in all my house. I speak to him face to face, even plainly, and not in dark sayings, and he sees the form of the Lord. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses? So, you know, the context is that Aaron and Miriam are, you know, complaining or speaking against Moses, and then the Lord actually rebukes them, corrects them, and in doing so, he talks about the prophetic, or the process by which he communicates, or the means that he uses, or the Lord uses in order to communicate to his prophets. So, this is what he says. If there is a prophet among you, I the Lord, make myself known to him in a vision. So, you see, you know, vision being mentioned there. He says, I speak to him in a dream. So, these are, you know, methods that Lord, our God uses to speak, dream. Then he also says, but to Moses, I speak to him face to face. So, we see God speaking face to face. And it says, even plainly, meaning simple words, simple instructions, nothing complex. And he also says, even plainly, not in dark sayings. So, which means dark sayings could be like symbols, or riddles, you know, puzzles, something that needs interpretation, right? Like, so what we see here. So, this could be, you know, like even in Hosea 12, we see the same thing. Okay, let's look at Hosea 12 through symbols, right? Something that is symbolic, something that is, you know, dark sayings need, you know, should not be interpreted as something dark, something, you know, something that is not of the light. So, you know, normally we consider that to be something that refers to the, you know, the spiritual realm, which is not of God, right? Something satanic or something that's powers of darkness, no. Here, you know, it's, when he said dark sayings, it's something that is hidden, that needs to be, you know, revealed by the Spirit of God, that needs to be, you know, unraveled, something that needs to be explained, maybe interpreted. So, symbols are that, right? Symbols, they carry meanings, right? They carry, you have to understand symbols because they carry meanings. Like, for example, you know, we use a lot of emojis, right? In your texting, you know, and each emoji is an expression, right? It carries a meaning, a smiley, you know, what it is. And, you know, maybe, you know, an emoji with hearts and the eyes, right? You know, how, you know, what it conveys, you know, that you love something or something that people have put or some picture, you just, you know, looking at it with eyes of love, you love it so much. So, a symbol would carry a meaning, okay? So, the Lord speaks in dark sayings or symbols, right? Another scripture similar to Numbers 12 is also Numbers 24. I'm just sharing these scriptures because we need to understand that it's, you know, when God speaks, he uses all these means to speak to us and many times we limit God and we say, okay, this is how he is all. He cannot, you know, communicate in these ways, but maybe the Lord is just, you know, reaching out to us or communicating to us in these ways and we're just not noticing it, we're not taking note of it, right? So, like I mentioned in the previous classes, we need to be mindful about the Word of God because the Word of God, the written Word of God, the Bible is our foundation, it's our reference point, okay? So, that is, you know, these are the prophetic scriptures and we also, you know, this is our reference point, we always fall back, we check against the Word of God. No matter, you know, what our experiences are, we, you know, we check against the Word of God and we check with the Spirit of God who dwells in us, right? He dwells in us. So, we discern, we ask Him for, you know, for confirmation, right? Okay. So, let's look at Numbers 24. It was 15 and 16. This is about the Prophet Balaam. And so, he took up his oracle and said, the utterance of Balaam, the Son of the Beor. Now, we know that he went astray, right? But here he explains the process of how he receives the message from God. This is what he says. The utterance of Balaam, the Son of Beor, and the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened, the utterance of him who hears the words of God and has the knowledge of the Most High and sees the vision of the Almighty who falls down with eyes wide open, right? So, eyes wide open, eyes are opened, hearing the Word of God and has the knowledge or revelation, knowledge, understanding of the Most High who sees the vision of the Almighty. So, these are all, again, you know, different ways by which God speaks. So, when it comes to prophecy and, you know, some of the other gifts, we see that God speaks to us in these ways as well, right? And so, we can, we receive from him. He speaks to us in these ways, okay? So, simple process for prophesying is to pray. First of all, to pray and to ask the Holy Spirit to give us a word of prophecy, to give us a prophetic word, right? So, we pray, we ask, we ask in faith, we ask expectantly, right? So, we know God is a living, he's a living God. We know that God is this God who communicates because he's the one who speaks. And that's how 1 Corinthians 12, the chapter itself starts that Paul doesn't want us to be ignorant of the spiritual gifts. And he also says, you know, your past life, and you were not believers, you were carried away by these idols who could not communicate, he says, by these dumb idols who could not communicate, but we have a God who speaks and then he goes on to talk about the different gifts because God communicates through these gifts, right? He manifests through these gifts. So, when we desire, right, we come with expectation knowing that God will speak to us, and he releases his plans and purposes through us, right? So, even in a time when we are learning to prophesy, we can expect God to speak to us and say, God, Lord, you give me a simple word, give me a word of encouragement, give me a word of comfort, give me a word, something that will strengthen the other person, strengthen the believer, right? So, nothing wrong, we can ask and the Lord will give a word, the Lord will speak, right? So, we come expecting knowing that he's a living God. So, we do that. The second thing is to perceive. So, perceive is, again, to become aware, to realize, to become conscious of what God is saying. So, we take time, we pray, we perceive. So, we perceive what is God putting in our hearts? What is this still small voice? What is that impression? What is that information that's kind of just building up, just coming up, and it's like an overflow of a spring, and a sense of knowing on the inside, okay, this is what I must be doing, or this is what I should say, a knowing on the inside. And then some things that are visual also, you know, God speaks in like picture, like we saw pictures, visions, like dreams and so on. Of course, dreams, you know, when we have, we could have prophetic dreams when we are sleeping, and then we have that dream. So, when we actively perceive, of course, dream, you know, that doesn't come in here, because it's something that we do when we are, when we dream and we are asleep, right? So, some things that come up when God puts in our spirit, okay? It could be a word, it could be as simple as a word, meaning it's, you know, it's just a group of letters that make sense. It's a word, okay? So, it could be a simple word, it could be a phrase, it could be a sentence, it could be a huge paragraph, no, it doesn't matter, right? What matters is that it's inspired by the Holy Spirit, so therefore it is significant, right? So, maybe it's a picture, it's sometimes even, you know, physical sensations, because we know that the Lord who has created our spirit, soul and body, has the one who touches our spirit, also has the right to, you know, touch our bodies, whether it's with healing or, you know, whether it's something that is, you know, one thing that we see is that the Holy Spirit is, is a paracleto, see the paraclete, right? So, he comes alongside and literally, you know, puts his arms around us, you know, that's the picture, you know, he comes alongside in order to comfort us, right? So, when he comes alongside in order to comfort, when he comes alongside in order to maybe strengthen, we experience his touch, right? And we can experience it, experience his touch in our spirit, we can experience his touch, you know, even physically, right? So, so that's the thing, so we perceive, okay, this is what we receive and then we prophesy, okay? So, we discern, is it, is it God speaking? And then, you know, we prophesy, share it, speak it out, like profiteer means to speak forth, so we speak it out, maybe share it with, you know, whoever we've been praying for, whoever we've been praying with, you know, you share that. And I find that, you know, some of the simple ways to really learn about prophesy is, you know, if somebody's, there's somebody's birthday and, you know, and you want to wish that person and maybe you call and wish or maybe you want to send them a text message, right? Pray, perceive, prophesy, you know, pray and perceive and ask the Lord, Lord, what is it? Like this Sunday, this happened, I was just, you know, as we were closing the service and just waiting on God, asking the entire congregation, just wait on God, just ask God what he's saying, what he's speaking and, you know, you receive for yourself, let God move, minister. So, I just found myself, you know, saying the Lord is your shade at your right hand, just that, you know, just verse from Psalm 91, Lord is your shade at your right hand. And after the service, this person came and, you know, was sharing about how his wife was healed from post COVID symptoms, right? She was having continuous cough for almost three months, I think, and really, literally she couldn't sleep at night and how the Lord healed her. And the healing happened when the family was praying and just declaring Psalm 91 over her life, Psalm 91. And that Sunday morning, again, was a, you know, reaffirmation. She had come to church after all that, you know, post COVID thing, and she had come to church at the service. And so the husband was sharing, you know, into Psalm 91. And, you know, that was from Psalm 91. This was, again, a reiteration of the fact that because they were thinking, you know, should we go to church, you know, people are gathering, should we, we just, you know, she's just come out of it and all that, but they decided to come anyway. And it was a confirmation from God. And I had no clue, literally, you know, I just felt that I had to speak that phrase, speak that words out, the Lord is your shade at your right hand. And for them, it was a confirmation. So you see that, you know, so that, so when you're wishing people maybe pray, and you, and you perceive what God is putting your heart and then and send it to them, text it to them. They don't have to know, hey, this is a prophecy for you. They don't need to know that when we are learning to grow in the prophetic, all that we have to do is we don't have to, you know, kind of put a label on it and say, here's something that God spoke. No, just speak it. Okay. And, and it'll find its mark. Right. If it's, if it's really inspired by God, it'll find its mark and people will be blessed anyway. So, so that's one way, you know, that's normally a good way to start. Right. And also, when you're praying for people, when you're praying for people, the Lord put certain things you pray and, and, and, you know, you pray in that direction. Of course, you can always check with people and say, hey, you know, this way praying for you and I prayed specifically for this. And then, yes, again, people would come back and say, you know, that was the need. That was something that we were, you know, that's, that's something that waiting on God for and, you know, that made sense and so on. So that's something we can do. Okay. So we prophesied. Right. Now. So what we'll do now is just perceive, you know, just want to, for us to understand the, or, you know, for us to really move into that perceiving process of praying and perceiving. It's important that we, you know, really practice that because we have a God who speaks, we, we know that he, he desires to communicate to us. So it's just that we need to, we need to grow in this. Right. And maybe some of us are all already doing that and moving in the prophetic. Wonderful. Right. So for those of us who are yet to do that, or maybe we're unsure, you know, can God speak to me, can God speak through me? Well, praise God. If you're a believer, then you're a candidate. Right. If you are a believer, you can hear the voice of the shepherd and the shepherd wants to communicate. The shepherd wants to build up, you know, other lives, build up our own lives. The shepherd wants to do that. So you are a candidate. If you are a believer, then you are, you qualify. And if you are a believer, you have the spirit of God dwelling in you. You're a sheep. He's a shepherd. So you qualify. Right. So no need to have all these, you know, am I worthy? Do I need to become mature? Am I mature enough? Am I righteous enough? Right. So no need to have all those, you know, fears and questions. Just put that aside. Well, you have a God who loves you. You have a God who communicates. So he's your Heavenly Father. He's your loving shepherd. And he's been leading you. He's leading us in all these years, all these days. And he wants to take, you know, to your, the relationship with him to a higher level. Right. So yeah, so let's take some time. And like we said, you know, you could, you could just pray in the spirit, pray in tongues. And I just want you to note down, you know, whatever is showing you, okay, what you're perceiving in your spirit. So be a little mindful of that. You know, you don't have to be paranoid about it. Am I, am I hearing? Am I not hearing? No, don't worry. Just relax. The thing is not to be anxious, not to be, you know, be preoccupied with that, but really to pray and to just worship God, enjoy, enjoy God, enjoy talking to God, enjoy opening up your heart to him, just praising him, worshiping him. So maybe in a, in a known language, you know, you can just, just praise him. So let's do that. Let's do that for some time. Father God, we, we thank you, Lord, that you're the God who speaks on what an amazing privilege that each one of us have. All of us have got this privilege of hearing your voice, Father God. And, and yes, the scripture declares it's like the voice of many waters. And yet it is a still small voice. And yes, Father God, we thank you that you speak in so many wonderful, amazing ways, Father God, and we have this awesome privilege of hearing it and the, and the responsibility of obeying. We thank you, Father God. We thank you. We thank you. Yes, Lord, even right now, we just want to praise you. We just want to give you thanks. And yes, Lord, spend some time just like Lord, even as we pray as led by your spirit, as you pray in the spirit, pray in tongues, Lord, we ask that you would speak to us. We ask that you would, Lord, show us things, God, that we do not know yet. Yes, Lord, we thank you. This is spend some time just praying in tongues, praying in the spirit. Yeah, just go ahead. And since your mics are muted, just go ahead, pray out loud. And maybe if there's, there was no privacy where you are seated right now. You can just pray softly just between you and God, right? Like just like how it says in Corinthians, you know, you don't have to disturb your neighbor, disturb the household, but, but you can just pray just between you and God, right? So let's, let's do that. Thank you, God. Thank you. I just want us to, you know, take some time to just just perceive what is God showing, what is God speaking to you right now, and make a note of it. Just write it down. Um, you know, at this point, I don't want you to analyze it. I just, just note it now. Yeah. Okay, so, um, so we have shared something here, um, that she was reminded of this verse, Revelation 1, 8, I'm the Alpha, the Omega, the beginning at the end says a Lord who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty, right? Okay. Anyone else, um, if you, you know, received something in your spirit, maybe a prompting, um, maybe you were reminded of someone, you know, as you're praying, that is also, so we're not, I'm not going to analyze and judge and say, okay, that is wrong, you know, what you've heard was wrong. I'm not at this time, you know, we're not doing that. Just getting into the habit of, you know, what we are sensing in our spirit, right? Um, if there was, if there was nothing, no problem. Um, okay, uh, Zalitoli says she was reminded of the song Waymaker. Oh, that's another thing. Yeah. It could be a song that comes to your spirit, right? A song that comes to your heart. Um, or maybe just one line of that song. Well, that is it. Make a note of it. Okay. Anyone else? Anyone else? Okay. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. Psalm 121 21 and verse six. Okay. That's from John, John Paul. Okay. I, and as I was praying, um, I just sensed, um, you know, something, um, you know, this, I just saw this picture, but I, and I just believe that it's for, you know, it's for Jeffina, I think, Jeffina Augustine, um, that I just saw this picture of, you know, of earth mover and, you know, it has these tracks, you know, this, this whole wheel thing, it has these tracks for it, for it to have a better grip on whatever kind of terrain it is, right? If it's, uh, if it's a slope is able to, uh, you know, navigate that slope because it has those grips. And I just believe that, you know, God is doing that for you, um, as a process, you know, maybe it's a challenge or maybe some things that, uh, that, that you're finding it difficult to understand or, you know, that the Lord is really undergirding, uh, you and is able to kind of help you navigate that, navigate that challenge. What seems to be, uh, hey, how can I actually, it seems so slippery. It seems so, um, the terrain looks so, um, so intimidating, but, you know, if you've seen those earth movers, it has that, I don't know what you call it, maybe like a track kind of thing and to grip and, you know, to navigate that. I believe the Lord is, you know, doing that in your life. So I just kind of sense that. Okay. Um, anyone, anyone else, anyone else, anyone else? Okay. Is that it? So, um, okay. So if you, if you did not, so does that mean the others did not really sense anything or, um, you know, many times what happens is, uh, you know, you're just saying, you're just thinking that, hey, it was just me, right? It was just my thoughts. It was just my imagination. So I'm not going to put, share it here. Okay. Okay. So now I want to ask you this question. What, you know, if you have something like that, eight, uh, I'm not sure if it was God, but I think it was just my thought or my imagination, right? I want you to share that. If you're saying, okay, this is my thought, this thought crossed my mind. Uh, I'm not sure if this was God. Okay. So anybody like that, and I see many people here, right? So blessing, Sid Kenne, Robert, Paul, Lea, Lama, Priyacharya, Nanita, George, Shia, Rebecca, Jafina, Linden, Rosalind, Nicholson, Lubega, Aradhana. So all you guys, you know, if you, okay, you had a thought it need not be scripture. It need not be quote unquote spiritual, right? But you have this thought, you have this picture. I'd like you to share that as well. Okay. So because we're not discerning, I mean, right now we're not really saying, judging it. So I'd like you to share that. Anyone? Maybe you were reminded of some person, you were reminded of something. Priyacharya, you saw a river. Okay. Right. Anyone else? You saw a light. Okay. Okay. Good. Okay. So normally, Priyacharya, when you prayed, you see rivers or with the, you know, okay, you saw a river, you saw a vessel with a long beak. Okay. I remember a friend in Bangalore also thought I would talk to him after that, after class. Okay. Okay. And Anita saw a light. So what color was it? Anita, any idea? Was it just a bright light? Did you notice the color? Just asking, you know, just so that something that you notice, bright light. Okay. Good. Anyone else? Okay. If you can't text, let's say you're walking around or something, you can just unmute and speak. Right. What is it that you did a thought cross your mind when you prayed? Absolutely fine. Right. Sometimes there's nothing. It just, it is absolutely okay. You know, sometimes we're praying for people and you just say, okay, God, you speak to me. There's nothing. There's absolutely nothing. So you just, you know, you just pray, you know, a general prayer of blessing that person, giving thanks to that person, thanks to God for that person. So absolutely okay. No problem. Right. Okay. So just wanted to, and so you see that, you know, there's something that happened when you specifically said, you speak and we are expecting him to speak and we know that he speaks in all these ways. Right. Scripture, prompting thoughts. We know he's a God who speaks and, you know, we receive all this in our spirit. And so our responsibility, you know, is of course to discern. Okay. So that's the second part of it. Okay. What discern, interpret, find out what does it mean and so that it can make sense to us. Right. But many times we, you know, even this process of seeing or hearing, we sometimes negate that, negate either because of unbelief or, you know, because of a sense of unworthiness or whatever, you know, we negate that. Right. So just want to encourage us to make note of it, you know, when we are praying, maybe when we are worshiping, you know, there's many people say, Hey, this is, this is like a new age satanic ways. You know, it's what Satan does. Well, our God is much bigger. There's no comparison. Right. And when the scripture is very clear, when you ask him, he knows how to give good gifts. And specifically talking about the Holy Spirit, the Lord Jesus he knows how to give good gifts. And we should never forget who he is. He is our heavenly father. Right. And, and that scripture where we see about the, about asking and receiving, it's about the comparison is, you know, we, we ask, even an earthly father will not give something substandard. Right. Will not give something that is harmful. If somebody asks, you know, if the son asks for a bread or a fish, so how much more you're heavenly father? Okay. So, yeah. So that's the thing. So we get into the habit of hearing, listening. Okay. Then the next one is, of course, if something is symbolic, it makes sense of it. What does it, what does it mean? So, who do you think is the best person to ask? Okay. I felt God enthrasing someone that God knows the end from the beginning. Okay. So, keep trusting him. Thank you, Divya. Right. So, who do you think is the best person to ask? Okay. You receive some, something. Yeah. This person is, is to ask him, the Holy Spirit. Who's the one who is spoken? Who's the one who is given? So, you ask him, he will give the interpretation. He will lead us back to his word, back to his word. And, and you see references there, you know, about God, you know, and some, some are very direct, you know, when there's scripture, there's no second guessing it. Yeah. But here's a word, and God has given a word in the sense it's a verse or a reference. So, we read it and we are encouraged and maybe it's an instruction, maybe it's just a word of comfort and saying, you know, you know, I'm the Alpha and Omega. So, and a song like Waymaker, it's like, okay, it's again a confirmation of who he is. Right. It's what he does, what he will do. And, okay, River, you know, we see several references about the River and the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit in the believer's life is like a spring that about salvation. It's like the work of the Holy Spirit in salvation. It's like a spring that's, and we see that in John chapter four. It will become in a spring, sustaining it. Then John chapter seven, we read about the river and it's particularly about the Holy Spirit. The Lord Jesus teaches about that, John chapter seven. So, we see that the river referring to the work of the Holy Spirit. So, we see that. So, we can ask God, God, is it that that you're referring to? That you're, you know, that you're moving in me? That you're, what is it about the river? Right. We can ask him, okay, vessel with a long beak. A long beak, I'm not sure what you're referring to. So, I'm not too sure, Priya, but yeah, definitely you can check with God, Lord. What is it? Of course, vessel again, there's a scripture reference that we are, you know, vessels in his hand. And we, a vessel of honor, you know, obviously, it's for a special purpose. A vessel with a long beak is for a special purpose. Like something that's poured out, doesn't get spilled out and, you know, doesn't get wasted. It's specific. So, for that purpose, nothing is wasted. So, it's a specialized utensil, like for a specific purpose. So, maybe it's for you, maybe the Lord is saying, okay, I'm going to use you in a specific area. And you saw the river, the river is the Holy Spirit. And then, you know, as I move out of you, as I flow out of you, it's for a specific purpose. It's going to be very focused, a specialized area, maybe. And I'm going to use you to minister to be a blessing. So, I'm going to pour a vessel. Like the vessel left refers to us and what's being poured out of us, the work of God. So, yeah, so Anita said, bright light. We know that the presence of God, God himself is referred to as light. So, you know, the work of his work in our lives. Then, right. So, Nicholson said, I was reminded of a friend in Bangalore. So, yeah, so definitely talk to him. Maybe there's something that God wants, maybe he needs, you know, something that maybe an encouragement or, okay. So, Nicholson can do that. Okay. It's like a long spoon which you use to feed kids. Yeah. So, that's it. There you go. So, yeah, so ask the Lord, pray through that, right. Pray and ask God, what more, what else. Okay. Okay, we'll take a break and then we'll come back and we'll continue. Thank you.
