Transcript
Welcome to Power Hour where we believe it is God's will for you to be well.
Speaker A:I'm your host, Kylie Terradez and this podcast is created from the weekly live streams that I do every Thursday at 1pm Mountain time.
Speaker A:Whether you tune in live or listen later, this message is something that you can receive today.
Speaker A:Let's get started.
Speaker A:Hello everyone.
Speaker A:It is that time again.
Speaker A:It is time for Power Hour.
Speaker A:Man, I'm so excited about today.
Speaker A:The Lord has been speaking to me about this.
Speaker A:We're going to be talking about the power of celebration.
Speaker A:And you know, maybe this is on my heart because, because it is Hannah's birthday today.
Speaker A:But the celebration is such a powerful thing.
Speaker A:You know, to celebrate something is to.
Speaker A:Is to go back is to.
Speaker A:Is to mark it down.
Speaker A:It's to note something, right?
Speaker A:We put a significance on the things that we celebrate.
Speaker A:And I think as well that the Lord likes to party.
Speaker A:You know, the Lord likes to party because when anyone gets born again, you know, there's a party in heaven.
Speaker A:We're going to be spending a lot rejoicing when we get to heaven and he rejoices over you with singing.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:So let's take a moment before we get into the word, let's take a moment and pray.
Speaker A:Father God, I just thank you that you are here with us today, that you have a word for us today, that you have things for us to receive from you today.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord that you know just what we need.
Speaker A:That, that you are never late, but you are always right on time.
Speaker A:Just, you know what we need when we need it.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord that you're so faithful, that you're so good, that you're so kind, that you're so long suffering.
Speaker A:Thank you Holy Spirit, that you give us ears to hear and a mind to understand and a heart to receive everything that you have for us today in Jesus name.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:The power of celebration.
Speaker A:Oh my gosh, this is so exciting.
Speaker A:Let me get to this.
Speaker A:You know, there's an important place on celebration.
Speaker A:I was just sharing.
Speaker A:If you're just joining.
Speaker A:I was just sharing is our daughter Hannah's 22nd birthday.
Speaker A:I can't believe that my baby girl, 22, like am I really that old that I have a 22 year old as my youngest child?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker A:I know where the years go.
Speaker A:But I'm so excited every time Hannah's birthday rolls around just because it's a moment for us to, to thank God for everything that he did in her life and in our life.
Speaker A:You know, when somebody in the family gets healed.
Speaker A:Everyone in the, in the family gets healed.
Speaker A:When somebody in the family is sick, it's like everyone in the family is sick, right?
Speaker A:You move as a, you live as a unit and it affects everybody.
Speaker A:But celebration was something that we did in that moment that she, she was three years old when she received her healing.
Speaker A:And you know, we were so excited.
Speaker A:We went back from the, the conference where she was healed.
Speaker A:And this is one of the reasons why Ashley and I just love doing conferences and events.
Speaker A:They're very significant moments in our life.
Speaker A:When we look back, you know, Hannah was healed at a, at a conference.
Speaker A:It was a three day conference.
Speaker A:She was, she was healed like right in the middle of that.
Speaker A:And because of that, we know that conferences are powerful.
Speaker A:Every year we have several conferences and tomorrow night we have our Abundant Life conference event starting in Phoenix, Arizona.
Speaker A:And then we have another Abundant Life event in February just north of Orlando.
Speaker A:And then we have the Cure, our big healing event in Woodland park in April.
Speaker A:And the reason that we love conferences so much is because we know when people come to attend something like that, it's a significant moment.
Speaker A:You know, people put it on their calendar, they put a pin in it.
Speaker A:They set their expectation that when I step into that room, when I, when I, when somebody lays hands on me, when I hear the word, that is going to be the point at which I receive.
Speaker A:And so it really just brings people.
Speaker A:It's like scheduling something, right?
Speaker A:If you schedule something, it will happen.
Speaker A:If you don't schedule it, it's probably not going to happen.
Speaker A:You'll get busy and distracted and do something else.
Speaker A:It's just, it's just a time where people make, they, they make time in the calendar to hear and they have it set an expectation that they're going to rece.
Speaker A:So we love conferences and events because of what those things do in people's heart.
Speaker A:People come with an expectation.
Speaker A:And when we come with an expectation, it's a point at which we receive.
Speaker A:So when we think back about events and things that we've been a part of, for us it's always a moment of celebration.
Speaker A:And one of the things that we love to do at our events is we love to have people up after the ministry.
Speaker A:And we have.
Speaker A:And if you've seen a live event or attended one of our live events, a big part of what we do is testimonies.
Speaker A: You know, Revelations: Speaker A:That's the enemy.
Speaker A:By the, by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony, that is another way to put that in cariology would be to say we overcome the enemy by what Jesus did on the cross for us and what we are prepared to say about that fact.
Speaker A:What are we prepared to say about what Jesus done for us?
Speaker A:Man, that and that testimony.
Speaker A:Now one of the reasons we get people to testify is because when they, when you testify, when something comes out of your mouth, it becomes concrete.
Speaker A:There is a permanence to it, you know that we know that there's huge power in our words.
Speaker A:Proverbs says that there's life and death in the power of the tongue.
Speaker A:And when we speak something out, it has a creative force.
Speaker A:You know, sometimes our, our brain, our own ears need to hear what our mouth is saying.
Speaker A:And when we do that, it has a permanence when something comes out of your mouth, when there is a confession that is made.
Speaker A:When we believe in our hearts and we confess, you know, that's, that's, that's the path of salvation right there.
Speaker A:When we believe we've received Jesus in our heart, we confessing with our mouth, we're saved, right?
Speaker A:There's a celebration that happens.
Speaker A:It's the same thing that happens when we celebrate what God has done in our bodies.
Speaker A:When we celebrate and I thank you Lord, for giving me breath.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord for, for giving me life.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, for letting me sleep through another night.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, for letting me wake up.
Speaker A:Thank you Lord, that I have hair on my head or, or strength in my body or teeth in my mouth.
Speaker A:You know, whatever it is, when you start to let that praise come out of your mouth, when you start to let that celebration come out of your mouth, there is a permanence to it.
Speaker A:And it means that the enemy can't steal it.
Speaker A:You see, what has, what has been permanented.
Speaker A:I don't know how a better way to say that, you know, it's too late.
Speaker A:By that point yours, every cell in your body has already heard the word of the Lord.
Speaker A:Every cell in your body has ears, not just the ones on the side of your head, you know, and they start to respond.
Speaker A:Your cells in your body start to respond to the spoken word of God.
Speaker A:This is why your celebration is so important.
Speaker A:You know, God celebrates.
Speaker A:The Lord is a Lord that loves a celebration.
Speaker A:You know, in the Old Testament, if you read through, there's like seven feasts every year, moments of celebration, and these are usually like seven, eight day long events where the Israelites were commanded to observe these seven feasts throughout the year.
Speaker A:Now we're not Going to go through all the seven feasts, maybe we'll do at some point.
Speaker A:But there's so much significance in those.
Speaker A:These are moments where the Lord said to them, remember me, remember what I've brought you through.
Speaker A:Remember the good, my goodness, remember the miracles.
Speaker A:Means you remember the story alone of Passover.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker A:That was, that was, that was a celebration that the feast of Passover now is to celebrate a moment where the angel of death passed over the children of Israel when they were in the houses and they applied the bloods of the, the sacrifice lambs to the lintels, the doorposts.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker A:That, that was something in the angel of the Lord of the angel of the Lord of death rather passed over them.
Speaker A:Destruction passed houses.
Speaker A:And after the afterwards, the Lord says, you shall remember this as Passover and you shall celebrate this.
Speaker A:Every year they celebrate Passover this in the Old Testament and the Jews today.
Speaker A:They celebrate moments of significance where the Lord brought them out, where he delivered them, where he rescued them, where he performed a miracle in their midst.
Speaker A:Why do you think celebration is so important to the Lord?
Speaker A:Because we celebrate things that are significant, right?
Speaker A:We celebrate people's birthdays, we celebrate the birth of Christ, we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus.
Speaker A:We need to celebrate things.
Speaker A:And this is really important because I know that some people have maybe grown up environments where things weren't celebrated, where you weren't celebrated, where your birthday was passed by, where it was a non event.
Speaker A:And maybe as the years have gone on, you know, we tend to celebrate birthdays a little bit more when our kids are little, we might have more of a party.
Speaker A:But these are significant moments.
Speaker A:You are worth celebrating.
Speaker A:Somebody needs to put that in the comments.
Speaker A:I am worth celebrating.
Speaker A:You know, when you were born, all the angels in heaven rejoiced.
Speaker A:You are the most beautiful creation that the Lord had ever put together.
Speaker A:Everyone gasped.
Speaker A:The Lord had never made a creation like you.
Speaker A:You are absolutely unique.
Speaker A:You are worth celebrating.
Speaker A:And even if no one on earth has ever celebrated you, if you've never had a birthday cake or a birthday party and no one seems to celebrate your, your life or you can't think of anything you know, you've achieved that you want to mark or you know what, the Lord celebrates you.
Speaker A:You can celebrate the fact that you belong to him, that you are, you are unique, that you are chosen, that he has a plan, that he has set his affection upon you.
Speaker A:That is worth celebrating.
Speaker A:Yes, people are saying I'm worth celebrating.
Speaker A:Yes, you're worth celebrating.
Speaker A:You know, we forget this sometimes.
Speaker A:We get so busy in life.
Speaker A:But we, you know, sometimes we just get caught up with stuff.
Speaker A:You know, we don't think that anything about us is particularly significant.
Speaker A:But when.
Speaker A:When we realize how much time God took to create you individually.
Speaker A:Yeah, you're worth celebrating, right?
Speaker A:You, you are one of the Lord's crowning achievements, right?
Speaker A:He said he's crowned you with his affection, man.
Speaker A:He sent his son to die for you.
Speaker A:Do you not think you're worth celebrating?
Speaker A:You're valuable.
Speaker A:He paid Jesus for you.
Speaker A:You are worth celebrating.
Speaker A:You know, the enemy would love to.
Speaker A:Love to get your eyes off the fact that God chose you, that he made you, that he set you apart, man.
Speaker A:You know, because why?
Speaker A:Because he wants to.
Speaker A:He wants to.
Speaker A:He wants to pull you apart from your relationship with him.
Speaker A:He wants to pull you apart from your relationship with the Lord.
Speaker A:He wants to distract you.
Speaker A:But I want to show you some scripture here.
Speaker A:The Lord likes to party.
Speaker A:Zephaniah 3:17 says, he dances over us with singing.
Speaker A:You know, the Lord dances over you with singing.
Speaker A:He thinks about you.
Speaker A:When you come to his mind, you're always on his mind.
Speaker A:He thinks about you constantly.
Speaker A:But you know, his celebration comes up in his heart.
Speaker A:He thinks good thoughts towards you.
Speaker A:He knows the plans he has for you.
Speaker A: Jeremiah: Speaker A:You are a point of celebration.
Speaker A:Whenever you come to the Lord's mind, He celebrates you.
Speaker A:He's cheering you on, man.
Speaker A:That's pretty cool.
Speaker A:Even no one else says you remember the story in Luke chapter 15.
Speaker A:You know, this is the story of the prodigal son.
Speaker A:In fact, let's go on over here because I want you to see this.
Speaker A:Luke chapter 15.
Speaker A:You know, this is a well known passage of scripture, and this is certainly somebody that had a bad attitude that maybe we wouldn't necessarily celebrate.
Speaker A:But the Lord has something different in mind.
Speaker A:You know, I'm going to paraphrase some of this.
Speaker A:This is the.
Speaker A:Let me just go on over here and find this.
Speaker A:In verse 11, he says a man had two sons.
Speaker A:The younger of them said to his father, father, give me the share of the property.
Speaker A:That falls to me.
Speaker A:So he divided his state estate amongst them.
Speaker A:And now, not many days later, the young son gathered everything together, journeyed to a different country and squandered his possessions on prodigal living.
Speaker A:He was the wild one, right?
Speaker A:He wasn't thankful.
Speaker A:And he began.
Speaker A:But then you know what?
Speaker A:A famine came in that land.
Speaker A:And.
Speaker A:And he began to be hungry.
Speaker A:So he Went and hired himself to a citizen of that country who sent him into the fields to feed the pigs.
Speaker A:Now this is a Jewish boy going out to feed the pigs.
Speaker A:So there's a, you know, Jewish people aren't supposed to be around the pigs.
Speaker A:There's a be a whole lot of shame to be him to be feeding the unclean animals.
Speaker A:It says he gladly would have filled his stomach with the husks that the swine were eating, but no one gave him any.
Speaker A:So when he says he came to himself, he came to his senses and he said, how many of my father's hired servants have an abundance of bread?
Speaker A:And here I am, perishing with hunger.
Speaker A:I'm going to go back home is what he said.
Speaker A:And I'll say to him, you know what?
Speaker A:I've sinned against you, Father, and I've sinned against heaven.
Speaker A:I'm no longer worthy to be called your son, but make me like one of your hired servants.
Speaker A:So he rose and came to his father.
Speaker A:He was going back in humility to, you know, he knew that he'd messed up.
Speaker A:Some of us know that we've messed up, some of us haven't, you know, felt like that celebration heart of the Father, you know, because we're so condemned by the things that we've been through.
Speaker A:But I want to show you what, what happens when we humble ourselves, when we come back to the Lord.
Speaker A:Doesn't matter what we've done right.
Speaker A:He says while he was still yet a far away, his father saw him and was moved with compassion.
Speaker A:And he ran and he braced his neck and kissed him.
Speaker A:You see, even though he'd been disrespectful, even though he'd squandered his money, he'd disowned his family, you know, he'd made some horrible mistakes.
Speaker A:He'd burnt all of his bridges, he had wrecked relationship with people.
Speaker A:You know, it says while he was still afar off, his father was looking out for him.
Speaker A:You know, you are never too far away for the God to reach you.
Speaker A:He's always looking out for you.
Speaker A:Even when you're running, even when your back is turned to him and you're running the opposite direction, he's looking out for you.
Speaker A:And the moment that we turn around, you know what he says?
Speaker A:Welcome home.
Speaker A:You know, welcome home.
Speaker A:We cannot be too far away.
Speaker A:The love of God cannot reach us.
Speaker A:We cannot be in too dark a place, into deep a pit that the Holy Spirit and then God's grace cannot reach on and down in that and pull us back out, right?
Speaker A:The moment that this boy came home, the Father, when he was still far off in the distance, he was excited.
Speaker A:He wasn't angry at him.
Speaker A:He wasn't holding his sin against him.
Speaker A:He was already walking in love, already walking in forgiveness.
Speaker A:And the boy, the son hadn't even apologized yet.
Speaker A:The Father's heart is for you before you even apologize.
Speaker A:He's already forgiven you before you've sinned.
Speaker A:Think about that, right?
Speaker A:That alone, the grace of God, that we have God's favor and forgiveness when we haven't even asked for it.
Speaker A:Man, that is something worth celebrating, right?
Speaker A:It says he ran and he embraced him and kissed him.
Speaker A:And the Father and the Son said to him, father, I've sinned against heaven and before you.
Speaker A:I'm no longer worthy to be called your son.
Speaker A:He tries to confess everything, but the Father said to us, it's almost like the Father didn't even listen to his explanation.
Speaker A:It wasn't even that important to him.
Speaker A:The fact that he's his son who was lost, had come home.
Speaker A:Everything that the Son did or said when they parted didn't matter.
Speaker A:I want you to hear this.
Speaker A:Some of us hold God at arm's length because even hold his promises at arm's length.
Speaker A:We put distance between ourselves and the Lord because of what we know we've done wrong.
Speaker A:Our own unworthiness, our own mess ups, our own insecurities.
Speaker A:We allow them to create distance between us and God.
Speaker A:But you know what?
Speaker A:There's no distance between God and us.
Speaker A:He doesn't.
Speaker A:He doesn't view those things the same way we view those things.
Speaker A:He's not focused on everything you've done wrong.
Speaker A:He's just focused on his love for you.
Speaker A:You know, he.
Speaker A:Everything that you've done wrong has already been paid for by Jesus.
Speaker A:He's already.
Speaker A:He's already taken that the punishment for that, right?
Speaker A:But look, he says the Father said to his servants, bring the best robe and put it on him.
Speaker A:Put a ring on his hand and shoes on his feet and kill the fattened calf and let us eat and be merry.
Speaker A:For this son of mine was dead and is alive again.
Speaker A:Was lost, and he's found.
Speaker A:And so he began to be merry.
Speaker A:They had a big party.
Speaker A:The first thing that the Lord did when he saw his son coming home was like, you know what?
Speaker A:Let's party on, right?
Speaker A:Let's have a part of this, celebrate.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:This is such a significant moment.
Speaker A:Don't let celebrations go by.
Speaker A:Don't let the goodness of God go by.
Speaker A:Uncelebrated.
Speaker A:You know, the Lord puts a big emphasis on celebration.
Speaker A:And, and you know, we might look in our lives and think, well, I don't have a whole lot to celebrate.
Speaker A:Yeah, you do.
Speaker A:God loves you.
Speaker A:If nothing else.
Speaker A:You know what, you've got Internet, you got that you can be thankful for that you can celebrate the fact that you can watch live streams, right?
Speaker A:That you, that you have the ability to hear the word of God in wherever you have a country you're in, that you have ears to hear, that you have eyes to read, right?
Speaker A:You mean you, you can celebrate something.
Speaker A:You can celebrate God's grace and his forgiveness if nothing else is significant in your life.
Speaker A:We celebrate things that are significant.
Speaker A:You know, in order to celebrate something that's significant, we have to first acknowledge it.
Speaker A:You know, one of my favorite scriptures is Philemon, verse 6.
Speaker A:And it says that our faith becomes effective by the acknowledgment of every good thing that's in us, in Christ Jesus.
Speaker A:When we start to look at what God has done in our lives, we start to acknowledge it, we start to give thanks for it.
Speaker A:It's significant.
Speaker A:Celebration comes from thanksgiving.
Speaker A:It comes from recognizing God did something, God did something.
Speaker A:You know, God did something 2,000 years ago and we should still be celebrating it.
Speaker A:That is the, that is the death bearer and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Speaker A:That's still worth celebrating.
Speaker A:Amen.
Speaker A:And not just on, on Christmas and Easter.
Speaker A:It's worth celebrating.
Speaker A:It's good for us to celebrate things, right?
Speaker A:You know, he says In Luke 15, verse 7, it says there'll be more joy in heaven over one repentant sinner than over 99 righteous who have no need of repentance.
Speaker A:You know, God celebrates the angels, the heavens, rejoice.
Speaker A:Every time somebody gets born again, there is constant celebration that happens in heaven.
Speaker A:So if celebration is so important, you know, don't you think that we should listen to that?
Speaker A:We need to, we need to find things in our life to celebrate.
Speaker A:You know, one, if you've, if you've heard my testimony, some of my story, one of the things that really marks my life is I've been healed of some very significant things in my life.
Speaker A:But they, some of those were kind of far apart.
Speaker A:Why, you'd think, right?
Speaker A:You know, if you got healed of one thing, why couldn't you get healed of another thing?
Speaker A:I tell you why.
Speaker A:Because those moments, although they were significant, were not celebrated.
Speaker A:There were moments of deliverance, moments of freedom, moments of healing that I experienced in my life that were very Significant, but they weren't acknowledged, and therefore they weren't.
Speaker A:They weren't celebrated.
Speaker A:And because of that, the power in them was isolated.
Speaker A:So, you know, I. I was healed of many, many different things.
Speaker A:I was.
Speaker A:When Ashley met me, I was 18 years old and struggling with epilepsy.
Speaker A:I had lots of different seizures.
Speaker A:But before then, a year before that, when I was, you know, 17, maybe.
Speaker A:Maybe 18, just, you know, I'd had a lot.
Speaker A:I did epilepsy for a while, and I'd had so many seizures that it affected my brain.
Speaker A:And I was actually in a wheelchair with paralysis.
Speaker A:I had brain damage that the doctors had no idea whether that was going to mean I had it for.
Speaker A:For at least six months.
Speaker A:They.
Speaker A:They had no idea whether I was ever going to recover, ever going to regain the ability to walk again.
Speaker A:And yet, you know, God healed me from.
Speaker A:I mean, it's a long story.
Speaker A:You have to read the full testament in my book, all is not Lost.
Speaker A:Okay, so you can get that on our website.
Speaker A:But the Lord supernaturally healed me of the brain damage and the paralysis and restored back to me that ability to walk in a matter of minutes.
Speaker A:Now, I didn't have anyone praying for me.
Speaker A:I didn't know the word of God very well, but I started to take the word of God.
Speaker A:I started to take a vision on the inside of what God was telling me.
Speaker A:He was showing me that I could walk in health.
Speaker A:And I started identifying more with that than I was with my current situation.
Speaker A:And step by step, I got up and started walking.
Speaker A:Stepping out of that wheelchair, it was an absolute miracle.
Speaker A:I'd been fitted for a custom wheelchair.
Speaker A:That's how, you know, serious this was.
Speaker A:They thought I was going to be in.
Speaker A:In this and needed a power wheelchair.
Speaker A:And yet, you know, what happened from one week to the next?
Speaker A:I was in people in our church, you know, as nominational church, bless them.
Speaker A:They saw us every week coming in the wheelchair.
Speaker A:My friends, you know, knew what happened to me.
Speaker A:And, you know, it's difficult for my family, but, you know, from one week to the next, I went from being paralyzed in a wheelchair to walking into church.
Speaker A:Now, you'd think, you would think that there would be huge celebrations, you'd think that there'd be, Carly, come testify.
Speaker A:What has the Lord done in your life?
Speaker A:Something very significant has happened.
Speaker A:But, you know, we didn't really understand what had happened.
Speaker A:Our church really didn't believe for healing, right?
Speaker A:And so this was something.
Speaker A:Although everyone knew it was significant, nobody knew how to explain it.
Speaker A:So they did Nothing with it.
Speaker A:And because they did nothing with it, because this.
Speaker A:This was a significant moment that wasn't acknowledged and therefore wasn't celebrated.
Speaker A:You know, the power of that moment was lost.
Speaker A:It was isolated, praise the Lord, that, you know what?
Speaker A:I had the ability to walk and I was out of the wheelchair, and I could, you know, I could function again.
Speaker A:But guess what?
Speaker A:I still had seizures.
Speaker A:I still had epilepsy.
Speaker A:And I do believe that if that moment had been celebrated, if it had been acknowledged, the epilepsy would have gone then, too.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:But for years beyond that, I still struggled with epilepsy, still struggled with that.
Speaker A:And it wasn't until another occasion later on where, you know, I was in a different moment in time and I went to a women's Bible study at a different church, and I heard the word of the Lord and, and.
Speaker A:And my friend offered to pray for me.
Speaker A:And I just knew.
Speaker A:I extended faith in that moment to realize that I needed to respond to God's word.
Speaker A:It wasn't just going to come on me automatically that I received healing and deliverance from seizures.
Speaker A:These are terrible seizures that try to take my life over and over and over again.
Speaker A:And people said to me, carla, you got out of the wheelchair, you saw this amazing thing that happened in your life.
Speaker A:How could you still have seizures after that?
Speaker A:Surely if God's healed one part of you, he's healed all of you.
Speaker A:Well, yeah, but I didn't realize that it wasn't celebrated.
Speaker A:It was.
Speaker A:It was significant, but not acknowledged.
Speaker A:Man, we need to give glory for what Jesus has done in our life, because there is a power that is released in celebration that we can miss, right?
Speaker A:There's wholeness.
Speaker A:You know, God doesn't just have healing for you today, he has wholeness for you today.
Speaker A:There's a difference.
Speaker A:You can be healed and you can be whole right?
Speaker A:Now, I don't know if you remember the story of the ten lepers.
Speaker A:There were ten lepers that Jesus met and, and.
Speaker A:And were.
Speaker A:And were healed is as they went, they were healed, right?
Speaker A:They had leprosy.
Speaker A:But only one of them came back to Jesus to give thanks, celebration for what Jesus had done.
Speaker A:And you know, that one leper that came back, Jesus actually said to the leper, you know, where's everyone else?
Speaker A:You know, as they went, they were healed.
Speaker A:And we have nothing, no reason to believe that all 10 weren't healed.
Speaker A:But only one came back.
Speaker A:Now, that one that came back, he didn't just receive healing, he received wholeness.
Speaker A:You know, he came back to thank The Lord to give celebration, to glorify God as being the Messiah.
Speaker A:And he walked out with wholeness.
Speaker A:He wasn't just healed in his body, he was healed spirit, soul and body.
Speaker A:That's wholeness.
Speaker A:And that came from celebration.
Speaker A:Wholeness comes from a place of celebration, healing.
Speaker A:You know what a blind beggar on the street that doesn't know the Lord can get healed, anyone can get healed.
Speaker A:But to be whole, that comes out of that place of celebration, out of that place of thanksgiving, man, there's a whole power in it that I had not realized.
Speaker A:Wholeness comes as a fruit of celebration.
Speaker A:This is why the Lord dances over us for singing, man.
Speaker A:This is, this is really important.
Speaker A:So you know, this.
Speaker A:We celebrate.
Speaker A:When we celebrate some, we're marking a moment in time.
Speaker A:We're giving thanks for it.
Speaker A:We're remembering the good things.
Speaker A:We're putting significance on that event.
Speaker A:We remember.
Speaker A:When you celebrate, you could say you remember something.
Speaker A:You know, we celebrate Jesus birth every year on 25 December.
Speaker A:Now, I don't know whether Jesus was born on 25 December or not, but it's a day that we celebrate.
Speaker A:So don't get hung up by whether we got the right date, date, date or not.
Speaker A:We need to have a day of celebration.
Speaker A:We celebrate Jesus birthday on December 25th.
Speaker A:Right.
Speaker A:We celebrate Easter on a different, it's a movable feast, a different day every year.
Speaker A:But we have a day where we celebrate it.
Speaker A:We have a day where we celebrate our own birth.
Speaker A:We remember it because of its significance.
Speaker A:You know, the word to remember it means to mark something, to mark it, to, to mention it, to record it, to think about it, or to rehearse it.
Speaker A:It's actually mentioned the word remember 190 times in the Bible.
Speaker A:Now if something is mentioned 190 times in Scripture, do you not think we need to remember it?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:The word remember.
Speaker A:We need to remember that.
Speaker A:The process of remembering and that comes from celebration is so key.
Speaker A:This, this idea of rehearsing something, of going back over when we remember something, we rehearse it, we go back over it.
Speaker A:Maybe I don't know if you've ever done this, but when I, when our kids were little, we need to do this again.
Speaker A:Now we've got digital phones and everything, everything's digital.
Speaker A:But we used to have actual photo albums, baby photos.
Speaker A:And the kids, even when they were toddlers, preschool, they love going through their, their baby albums and looking and like, who's that baby?
Speaker A:Who's that baby?
Speaker A:They like to go back, they like to go back and look at pictures of us when we were babies.
Speaker A:They like to rehearse it.
Speaker A:Do you remember when we went on.
Speaker A:On holiday?
Speaker A:Do you remember when we went here when it was some special event and we took a photo?
Speaker A:Do I.
Speaker A:To remember it?
Speaker A:You see, you take a picture in your imagination, a snapshot, and you remember it.
Speaker A:You know, this is so linked with our expectation because when we remember something, it does something to our expectation.
Speaker A:When we remember that God has done something significant in our life, it does something to our, our expectation for what's coming next.
Speaker A:This is, this is really important, right?
Speaker A:There is a power in remembering.
Speaker A:I want to show you a couple of verses here that, that King David wrote down.
Speaker A:Right, let's go on over here to give a bookmark in this one.
Speaker A:This is Psalm 77.
Speaker A:This is when David was going through some.
Speaker A:Some challenges.
Speaker A:Actually, you know, many of the Psalms are written by King David, but it's starting here in.
Speaker A:Let's start in verse 10.
Speaker A:Some said, he says there.
Speaker A:Then I said, this is my grief or my anguish.
Speaker A:It says in some translation, this is my grief.
Speaker A:Yet I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.
Speaker A:He says he wrote this when he was in a moment of torment, of trauma, of trial.
Speaker A:But he says, you know, I'm going through some difficult times right now, but this is what I choose to remember.
Speaker A:I will remember the years of the Lord Most High.
Speaker A:I will remember the works of the Lord, because surely I will remember the wonders of old.
Speaker A:I will meditate also on all of your works, Lord, and ponder your mighty deeds.
Speaker A:You know, he was choosing in the middle of his trial to remember where the Lord had brought him from.
Speaker A:This, this is not an easy thing.
Speaker A:This is a conscious decision.
Speaker A:We have to decide to remember things.
Speaker A:And you know, the Lord is big into remembrance, right?
Speaker A:He says many times, remember, remember.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Remember, remember me, remember.
Speaker A:Or he say the other, the other.
Speaker A:The other side of that is forget.
Speaker A:Not, don't forget, remember, don't forget.
Speaker A:To remember is to not forget, right?
Speaker A:To recall something, to meditate on something.
Speaker A:And look at this in Psalm 103 Again, a Psalm written by David.
Speaker A:Bless the Lord, O my soul and all that is within me.
Speaker A:Bless his holy name.
Speaker A:Bless the Lord.
Speaker A:Oh, my soul.
Speaker A:He's telling himself he's given himself a pep talk in the middle of a challenge.
Speaker A:This is a message in itself, right?
Speaker A:He's.
Speaker A:He's talking to his own soul.
Speaker A:We sometimes we got to talk to our own thinking before we talk to our own Body.
Speaker A:If your body isn't listen to listening to you, start with your soul.
Speaker A:That's going to help you, right?
Speaker A:Start with your heart, with your mind, your will and your emotions.
Speaker A:This is what David did.
Speaker A:Sometimes our body isn't listening to us because it's following suit of what's going on in our soul.
Speaker A:We need to start with the soul first.
Speaker A:He says, bless the Lord, oh my soul.
Speaker A:Everything that was in within me.
Speaker A:Bless his holy name.
Speaker A:Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Speaker A:And forget not all of his benefits, man.
Speaker A:This, this is powerful.
Speaker A:He says, who forgives?
Speaker A:And then he goes and lists them.
Speaker A:He forgives all of your iniquities that's on your sin, your mistakes.
Speaker A:He heals all of your diseases.
Speaker A:He redeems your life from the pit.
Speaker A:He crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies.
Speaker A:He satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is restored, is renewed or restored like the eagles, man.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:There's a lot in this, but it begins with, I'm going to talk to my soul, I'm going to bless the Lord and I'm going to forget.
Speaker A:Not.
Speaker A:I'm going to remind myself.
Speaker A:Sometimes it's good to remind the enemy too.
Speaker A:You know what, when the enemy starts talking to you through your own thoughts or maybe through the opinions of other people, or maybe through a symptom, right, A pain or a report, you start to remind those things.
Speaker A:Hang on a minute.
Speaker A:I'm reminded of the Lord who heals all my diseases.
Speaker A:You might need to pick up the pill pot and remind the pill pot, you know, I'm reminding you I believe in the Lord who heals all of my diseases.
Speaker A:You know, when the accusations, when the lies, when the.
Speaker A:When the decisions aren't in your favor, you know, you can remind those decisions.
Speaker A:You can remind those reports.
Speaker A:Hang on a minute.
Speaker A:The Lord's forgiven all of my iniquities.
Speaker A:You know, when, when things are looking down, when it looks like there's not enough, you say, I think, to me, I see that lack, you know, I see that lank in the bank account.
Speaker A:I see those bills sitting unpaid on my desk.
Speaker A:But here's the thing.
Speaker A:The Lord satisfies me with good things, right?
Speaker A:You know, he.
Speaker A:He redeems my life from the pit.
Speaker A:He takes me out of a place of despair.
Speaker A:When you know when your soul is in despair, when it's in grief, when it's in ang.
Speaker A:When it's in fear, when you don't seem to be able to get ahead, you say, hang on a minute.
Speaker A:I remember the Lord who redeems my life from the pit.
Speaker A:The Holy Spirit literally gets on down in the pit and pulls me out of it.
Speaker A:When we start to remember those things, man, I tell you, you've got to preach yourself happy.
Speaker A:It's not going to be too long before your, your insides are stirred up.
Speaker A:And now Thanksgiving, now celebration.
Speaker A:Now you're going to get your praise party on.
Speaker A:And it doesn't matter what the circumstances are doing, you're just going to get your praise party on.
Speaker A:You know, this is really powerful.
Speaker A:When our daughter Hannah was really sick, right?
Speaker A:She was still dying before we went to the event.
Speaker A:And she was prayed for, right?
Speaker A:You know, the, the, the, the, the, the doctor's report had not changed, but yet we had gotten revelation on the inside of us that the Lord loved us, that he wasn't mad at us, that, that he had healing available for us.
Speaker A:And even though we hadn't seen it yet in our daughter's life, we were rejoicing.
Speaker A:We were full of joy.
Speaker A:We were excited that God loved us.
Speaker A:We were excited about the fact that he wasn't, he wasn't angry at us.
Speaker A:God wasn't angry at us.
Speaker A:He wasn't holding our sins against us.
Speaker A:Joy was a motivator.
Speaker A:Love was a motivator.
Speaker A:We were going around praying for people, right?
Speaker A:We were seeing other people healed, but yet our daughter was still sick.
Speaker A:But, but all of the time on the inside of us, something exciting celebration.
Speaker A:We were celebrating something that hadn't happened yet.
Speaker A:Can you imagine that?
Speaker A:Can you imagine celebrating something as if you have it that you haven't seen yet?
Speaker A:I don't know.
Speaker A:I kind of think that's scriptural, right?
Speaker A:When we celebrate something as if we have it yet, we don't actually see it manifest yet something is released to make that move from a spiritual realm into a physical realm.
Speaker A:Man, look on over here.
Speaker A:Go on over to Matthew 11, Mark 11, rather Mark 11.
Speaker A:Jesus said something about this, this idea of celebrating something.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:He says in verse 24, therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you will receive them and you will have them.
Speaker A:Believe that you will receive them.
Speaker A:Celebrate like it's already done.
Speaker A:Party on.
Speaker A:Celebrate your healing.
Speaker A:Guess what?
Speaker A:Act like you have it and you will have it.
Speaker A:You will receive it, man.
Speaker A:There's something about that.
Speaker A:You know, when our kids were real little, you know, anytime that they were sick and, you know, we would pray for them and they would be healed.
Speaker A:And they soon realized when they went to kindergarten, elementary school that they didn't get sick days.
Speaker A:Other kids got, you know, they weren't there in the classroom, and then they'd be like, well, where are they?
Speaker A:Oh, they're sick.
Speaker A:They're out sick today, right?
Speaker A:And so they started wanting to be sick so that they could have a day off school.
Speaker A:We're not going to be sick, right?
Speaker A:How about we just have a well day?
Speaker A:We're going to celebrate being well.
Speaker A:We're going to have.
Speaker A:We're going to call it a mental health day.
Speaker A:So rather than.
Speaker A:Than.
Speaker A:Than rewarding something the enemy was doing by giving them a day off, we just took them out of school for the day and said, we're going to have fun today.
Speaker A:We're going to celebrate our health.
Speaker A:We're going to celebrate the healing power of God in our life.
Speaker A:And so they had, well, days.
Speaker A:We started to learn to celebrate what we had.
Speaker A:It was powerful.
Speaker A:We can celebrate things by faith that we haven't even received yet.
Speaker A:Man.
Speaker A:This is a powerful force that is really.
Speaker A:This is what David was doing.
Speaker A:He was celebrating something.
Speaker A:He was reminding.
Speaker A:He was remembering what the Lord had done even in the midst of a trial.
Speaker A:Now, you know, Jesus even says something about this when we take communion.
Speaker A:He says, this is in Corinthians.
Speaker A:But he says, you know, there are some that are sick and weak amongst us because basically they.
Speaker A:They don't recognize what's.
Speaker A:What's happened.
Speaker A:They don't give full remembrance to what's happened.
Speaker A:You know, he.
Speaker A:He says in.
Speaker A:When he's taking communion, this is in.
Speaker A:This is in First Corinthians 11, verse 24.
Speaker A:He's holding up the bread, and he says when he'd given thanks, he broke it and said, take and eat.
Speaker A:This is my body which is broken for you.
Speaker A:Do this in what.
Speaker A:Do this in remembrance of me.
Speaker A:When we take communion, what we're doing with the elements is we are remembering.
Speaker A:We are celebrating the fact that we have a risen Savior that's paid for us to be well, a risen Savior that's paid for us to be free from the power of sin, free from the power of darkness.
Speaker A:That we have a risen Savior that has secured our position in heaven, that is secured our.
Speaker A:The gift of eternal life for us on the inside of us.
Speaker A:He says, do this, do this and remember me.
Speaker A:Remember what I've done.
Speaker A:And as often as you drink, as you eat the bread and drink this cup, proclaim the Lord's death until he comes, and then he goes on.
Speaker A:He says, therefore, whoever eats this bread and drinks this cup of the Lord unworthily will be.
Speaker A:Goes on and verse 28, here we go.
Speaker A:Let a man examine himself.
Speaker A:Examine himself and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup.
Speaker A:For he who eats and drinks unworthily.
Speaker A:Now this is a lot in this, eats and drinks damnation for himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
Speaker A:For this reason, many are weak and unhealthy or sick among you and die.
Speaker A:He's saying that people that take communion and don't.
Speaker A:So he's talking to believers here.
Speaker A:He's saying there are people that take communion and they're, he says they, they're.
Speaker A:They unworthily.
Speaker A:What does this mean?
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:This is talking about people that, that don't, that don't realize the, the true value of, of what the Lord has done for them.
Speaker A:It says, let a man examine himself.
Speaker A:The word examine there, it means to find yourself approved.
Speaker A:This doesn't.
Speaker A:You know, oftentimes people skip over this, this passage and they think, if I, it means if I take, if I take communion and I've fallen out of my neighbor and I haven't apologized, I haven't got that sin under the blood, then I'm going to be damned.
Speaker A:And it's not what this passage means.
Speaker A:He says, you examine yourself and find yourself approved.
Speaker A:You examine yourself and you say, thank you, Lord, that I'm forgiven.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord, that my sin is covered by your blood.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord, that I have a place in heaven.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord, that I've received your forgiveness now that I can walk in the newness of life.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord, that the power of sin in my life and sickness has been broken.
Speaker A:That's what it means to examine yourself and find yourselves worthy, find yourselves approved.
Speaker A:He says the people that don't do that, that don't examine themselves and find themselves worthy in light of the resurrection.
Speaker A:They're the people that are sick and weak among you and they perish because they don't celebrate, they don't recognize or they don't celebrate everything that the Lord Jesus has paid for us to have.
Speaker A:They don't put full value on that.
Speaker A:And so they, maybe they pick up the, I'll take the forgiveness of sin and thank you for that, for the ticket to heaven.
Speaker A:But they don't pick up the fact that it wasn't just his, his blood that paid for our sin, it was his body that paid for your sickness.
Speaker A:It's a two part deal.
Speaker A:As much as his blood, his body paid as much as his blood paid for you to be free.
Speaker A:From sin.
Speaker A:His body paid for you to be free from sickness, man.
Speaker A:That's powerful.
Speaker A:That.
Speaker A:That's why he's saying, do this in remembrance of me.
Speaker A:This is.
Speaker A:Should be a moment of celebration when we take communion.
Speaker A:It should not be a moment of sadness or solemnness.
Speaker A:You know, our Jesus is a risen Savior.
Speaker A:He's not nailed to the cross on the wall of the church anymore, Right?
Speaker A:He's a.
Speaker A:He's not on the cross anymore.
Speaker A:He's a risen Savior.
Speaker A:It's not a moment of solemnness.
Speaker A:It's a moment of yay, Jesus.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:It's a moment of celebration.
Speaker A:Man, this.
Speaker A:This is so powerful.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:You know, we're talking a lot about King David.
Speaker A:You know, when King David was faced with a giant, when he was faced with Goliath, one of the things that he said to.
Speaker A:To that giant was he rehearsed.
Speaker A:He remembered everything that the Lord had done for him in that.
Speaker A:Up until that point, he says, you know what?
Speaker A:The Lord has been with me, and I've killed.
Speaker A:I've slain both the lion and the bear in you, Goliath.
Speaker A:You're going to be just like one of those, man.
Speaker A:He was rehearsing.
Speaker A:He was remembering his victories.
Speaker A:We need to rehearse our victories.
Speaker A:The enemy would love to have you focus on all of your failings.
Speaker A:He'd love to have you focus on everything that you've done wrong, believed wrong, got wrong, said wrong, whatever.
Speaker A:You know, he'd love to get you into condemnation.
Speaker A:But, you know, the.
Speaker A:The path to victory comes from celebration.
Speaker A:There's a power in that, in remembering every victory that the Lord already secured for us.
Speaker A:You know, so often we are so focused.
Speaker A:Certainly in Sunday school, when I was a kid, in Sunday school, we were very focused on the fall of mankind.
Speaker A:You know, Adam and Eve messed it up in Genesis, you know, and now we're all living in a fallen world, and everything's about.
Speaker A:We know what, we're just living in a fallen world.
Speaker A:We're fallen people living in a fallen world.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:That's true.
Speaker A:But guess what?
Speaker A:My sins have been washed away.
Speaker A:The sins of Adam and Eve have.
Speaker A:The sins of the first Adam have been made right by the resurrection, the blood of the last Adam.
Speaker A:I'm a New Testament believer.
Speaker A:The enemy wants you to focus on the fool.
Speaker A:Why?
Speaker A:Because the very word fool means to dismember something.
Speaker A:Think about that.
Speaker A:The fool.
Speaker A:Yeah.
Speaker A:It means to fall down.
Speaker A:It means to go lay flat in your face.
Speaker A:It means to fall from grace.
Speaker A:All those things.
Speaker A:But what are the words that fall?
Speaker A:The fall of mankind.
Speaker A:The word F, A L L, it means to dismember, to pull limb from limb.
Speaker A:You know, this is completely contrary to the word.
Speaker A:To the word.
Speaker A:In the New Testament, it says, we are members of his body now.
Speaker A:We are not dismembered, ripped apart like a.
Speaker A:Like a torso with no limbs.
Speaker A:We have been.
Speaker A:We have been attached.
Speaker A:We are reunited.
Speaker A:We are members.
Speaker A:Each part, each member of the body, each part, each digit of the body has an important part to play.
Speaker A:We are reunified with Christ.
Speaker A:You know, Jesus wasn't focused on the fall.
Speaker A:He says there was one fall that he was focused on and it wasn't on Adam and Eve.
Speaker A:He said, I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.
Speaker A:The only fall that he focused on was the fact that Satan was a defeated foe.
Speaker A:He's defeated.
Speaker A:He's not going to place too much attention on him.
Speaker A:He's defeated man.
Speaker A:This is so important, you know, we are now part of the body of Christ.
Speaker A:We aren't separated from God.
Speaker A:We aren't even separated from God by our sin.
Speaker A:Now, don't.
Speaker A:Sin is stupid.
Speaker A:It opens the doorway up to the enemy.
Speaker A:Right?
Speaker A:Live holy.
Speaker A:But holiness isn't your ticket to heaven, you know?
Speaker A:What is your relationship with Jesus Christ?
Speaker A:If you've received Jesus, you have everything you need to live in health and peace and to live eternal life in this life.
Speaker A:Come on.
Speaker A:In this life, eternal life starts today.
Speaker A:We're members of his body.
Speaker A:Each pot joined, supplied and connected, energized.
Speaker A:You know that your memory is so important.
Speaker A:I know that there are people that really struggle with remembering.
Speaker A:You struggle with remembering.
Speaker A:So I've got a couple of scriptures to help you remember.
Speaker A:Okay?
Speaker A:You might want to write these down.
Speaker A:I might want to write these down.
Speaker A:It says in Proverbs 10, verse 7, the memory of the righteous is blessed.
Speaker A:Your memory is blessed.
Speaker A:Your ability to recall the goodness of God is blessed.
Speaker A:You can draw upon him if you're struggling to remember.
Speaker A:If maybe your life has just been really tragic and there hasn't been a whole lot of things that you can remember that were good.
Speaker A:Ask the Holy Spirit to remind you of the times that you didn't even see that God delivered you, that God brought you out, that the Lord protected you.
Speaker A:Show me, Lord, where angels encamped around me, where disaster was averted, where things turned out better than they could have been.
Speaker A:Right, because you were working where I couldn't see.
Speaker A:You know, the memory of the righteousness is blessed.
Speaker A:Draw on the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:He will bring things back to your remembrance.
Speaker A:Look at this.
Speaker A:This is another one for you to write down.
Speaker A:John 14, verse 26.
Speaker A:John 14, verse 26.
Speaker A:But the helper, the Holy Spirit, where the Father will send in my name.
Speaker A:He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you.
Speaker A:All things.
Speaker A:The Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:If you've got a loved one that is struggling in the realm of memory, I want you to lay hands on their head next time you see them and say, holy Spirit.
Speaker A:Bring them back to their remembrance.
Speaker A:All things that they have learned.
Speaker A:All things.
Speaker A:Let not the enemy take one ability from them.
Speaker A:Let not the enemy steal abilities, steal speech, steal movement, still energy, still life from Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:Bring back to them.
Speaker A:Teach them again all things that have been taken, all things that have decayed in their natural mind.
Speaker A:And bring back to their remembrance every word that you've spoken to them.
Speaker A:You know, the Holy Spirit can work on your behalf.
Speaker A:You can stand in the gap for the people around you that you love that are struggling in the realm of their memory with dementia or Parkinson's or whatever it is.
Speaker A:You know, you don't have to lose your mind over this.
Speaker A:You have the Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:You know, Holy Spirit is so practical.
Speaker A:Hey, he'll even help you find your keys, right?
Speaker A:He'll show you where stuff is that you forgot about.
Speaker A:He's that good.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord.
Speaker A:And remind the enemy, you know what, you know what enemy?
Speaker A:When you try stealing from me, you've already fallen.
Speaker A:Jesus said, I've already seen you fall like lightning from heaven.
Speaker A:You're already defeated.
Speaker A:And start seeing him as a defeated foe.
Speaker A:And get your celebration.
Speaker A:It's time to party on.
Speaker A:It's time to rehearse every victory.
Speaker A:It's time to celebrate things that went uncelebrated.
Speaker A:Maybe, maybe there were moments in your life that you didn't celebrate.
Speaker A:You know what?
Speaker A:Go back and celebrate them.
Speaker A:I don't, I don't, I don't care.
Speaker A:Go back and celebrate them.
Speaker A:Whatever party what you're having party for.
Speaker A:You know, I, I, I missed a part.
Speaker A:I missed a birthday somewhere along the line.
Speaker A:I'm gonna celebrate it.
Speaker A:I missed, I missed giving thanks somewhere online.
Speaker A:I'm going to celebrate it.
Speaker A:I had a prayer that was answered somewhere along the line.
Speaker A:I'm going to celebrate it.
Speaker A:Thank you, Jesus.
Speaker A:You can have a moment of celebration.
Speaker A:You can get other people to celebrate with you.
Speaker A:What are you celebrating?
Speaker A:I mean, just write it down.
Speaker A:Let other people, maybe you need to put.
Speaker A:What are you celebrating?
Speaker A:Put it in the comments.
Speaker A:What do you need to celebrate that you missed?
Speaker A:Because there are things that went uncelebrated.
Speaker A:There were significant moments in your life.
Speaker A:And I tell you, there is a power that's released when you acknowledge them.
Speaker A:Just like the children of Israel were told to rehearse, remember, build a memorial for the goodness of God in their life.
Speaker A:What things do you want to celebrate?
Speaker A:Write them in the comments.
Speaker A:Things that you want to celebrate.
Speaker A:This is a moment of celebration.
Speaker A:Thank you, Jesus.
Speaker A:It could be anything.
Speaker A:It could be, you know, I'm celebrating the fact that I lost weight.
Speaker A:I'm celebrating the fact that I got over sickness.
Speaker A:I'm celebrating the fact that I had a grandbaby born.
Speaker A:I'm celebrating the fact that I finished my exams, whatever it is.
Speaker A:You can celebrate things.
Speaker A:You can celebrate things.
Speaker A:Yes, we have to start celebrating.
Speaker A:Thank you, Jesus.
Speaker A:Let's pray right now.
Speaker A:Thank you.
Speaker A:Thank you, Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:Right now we release the healing power, God into hearts, into minds, in Jesus name.
Speaker A:Thank you, Holy Spirit.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord.
Speaker A:That's awesome.
Speaker A:Amber.
Speaker A:She's celebrating that Emily was healed from autism last January.
Speaker A:I love that.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord.
Speaker A:Copenhagen says, I'm celebrating a year of being pain free.
Speaker A:And that's a big deal as Christians.
Speaker A:As I'm celebrating, my mum, Queen says I'm celebrating my unborn baby.
Speaker A:That's right.
Speaker A:You know, I'm celebrating, Queen, I'm celebrating your baby being born without any of the diagnosis that they've given.
Speaker A:I thank you, Lord, that we have.
Speaker A:We are celebrating a birth of a healthy baby.
Speaker A:You know, I want to encourage you, Queen, Queen, see, I want to encourage you.
Speaker A:Our daughter was diagnosed in the womb.
Speaker A:She's 22 today.
Speaker A:It's her birthday today.
Speaker A:She was diagnosed in the womb and with a cerebellum that's a huge chunk of the brain completely missing.
Speaker A:They told us that all of her fingers were literally growing crosswise and she had club feet, Right?
Speaker A:And you know what?
Speaker A:We refused.
Speaker A:We refused that report.
Speaker A:And when she was born, none of those deformities were present.
Speaker A:These were the top London specialists, the best scanning machines that found those issues.
Speaker A:But you know what?
Speaker A:Stuck on the inside of us wasn't the picture of those issues.
Speaker A:It wasn't the deformities that they could see.
Speaker A:I didn't even want to look at those pictures, right?
Speaker A:But, but, but we started to celebrate.
Speaker A:Thank you, Lord.
