Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John GIFTA. Hey God, viscio lets, it's a joy for me to be with all of you today. Thank you so much for dropping by. I just want to decree and declare that God has amazing things in store for you as well. Yes, here I am after nearly seven months of break from taking any interviews. Here I am on the seventh month of this year and interviewing Dash all the way from the United States of America. I just want to let you guys know this important truth. Yes, that's what I was called to do, you know, created to do.
That's my gift and I was like, oh my gosh, there's so many obstacles coming along my way, preventing me from doing the very thing that I was called and designed and equipped to do. But I know at the right appointed time, God made all things beautiful. You know. In fact, I reached out to her. She just reminded me and said, you know, it's the seventh of July seven seven. I reached out after seven months on exactly seventh. And the thing is this, you know, you know the Lord the number seven actually biblically means perfection.
Right. What I want you guys to understand is the God of perfection, He's going to perfect everything which comes turns you. Even if you feel like John, I'm created to do this. I know I'm destined for this. I know that this is what my purpose in life is, but I feel like I'm not able to do the very thing that I'm created to do. I want you to hold your horses, because at the right appointed time, ordained by God, He's going to perfect everything which concerns you. He's going to help you step into your calling, step into the fullness of your destiny, and he's going to make a way that there seems to be no way as well.
So this is literally like a new new beginning for me. So forgive me if I'm not in the flow or anything, but I just trust in the Lord and I believe that this episode is going to be a blessing to you guys. And thank you so much Dash for joining us and being a part of this podcast and YouTube recording. Of course, thanks for having me. It is so exciting, that's so good. In fact, I always believe the best introduction is self introduction. So in fact, from what I have seen about you, that you're a motivational speaker and my gift also I encouragement TENO Romans STEPAR twelve was wait six or eight, I don't remember, but it says if you call to encourage, encourage one another.
And I believe that that's my gifting and your gifting as well. And I've seen the work that you do through social media, through the different efforts that you put in like a even through creative flow and uh and and also you know you're a blessing in so many different ways, so talk about yourself and what is the work that you do. Absolutely well, thanks for having me again, I'm turquoise, so you'll often hear John referred to me as Tash, and so Tash is the name that the Lord gave me. Just like in the Bible, he when he was ready to use someone, he renamed them.
And so my birth name is Turquoise, and that's the name I love and answer to you, But I also answer to Tash, and so that's just a combination of my first name and part of my middle name. But I hail from South Florida. I live in the States. I'm currently based in Chicago, and I love the city and I just believe that God has placed me here for such a time as this. Literally, Chicago was not on my radar, and so he brought me here. And ever since, it was about four years ago that he brought me here, and it's just been this amazing spiritual journey that He has me on everything from spiritual warfare to deliverance to the prophetic.
And the funny thing John is, I'm actually not from a family of ministry or that's been in ministry. My entire family is pretty much entrepreneurial. My mother had her own business, all of my uncles have their own businesses, and so I've followed to my grandfather. He was not. He didn't have a business per se when he was alive, but he was very entrepreneurial in his thinking. He was a carpenter actually, And so it's just interesting how God has birthed in me in this season, these last four years, which that's another significant number for me in my walk, and how God communicates.
He has birthed in me this desire for ministry business. So it's been exciting. That's really good, that's so awesome. So one of the things that is really we met through an online platform called creative Flow that you have through Facebook and other mediums as well. You know, it's a it's something that you have to empower creatives and those in the creatives space. So I'll tell us a little bit about it. Yes, Well, the Creative Flow is, like he said, how we met, and it's been so wonderful. The minute I saw your ministry and what you do or it just resonated.
But the way that this community started, John, it was really designed to remind us to create because I was noticing back in twenty twenty one that there was this just kind of sentiment that I was sensing just in general across social media in Waking Life, just people I would need. Where there was this idea that if you don't have a talent that is I would called socially acceptable, whether it is dancing or singing or you know, drawing or comedic relief, like if it was not visible to someone, then you you're not talented.
And it really bothered me a bit because it reminded me that that's actually not true. We are created by the create tour, thus making us creative, and through him comes our creativity. And so that is what the creative flow is about. It's actually connected to the seven Mountains of Influence, which is based upon the Book of Revelation where seven again the woman as yes, she has seven heads, and so basically you know she's sitting on the seven mountains if you will. And so it's education, religion, business, media, governments.
Those are just a few of the names of the mountains. But in the creative Flow, we have all types of creatives. I call them creators. So they are a creator. And so basically every time you speak that right, every time you are walking out your creative ability, whether it is you know, creating a design, designing something, I know that there's someone in the community that uses crafts and bills and makes like crafts, jewelry like these are all creative ways that we in essence worship God. And so that's really what it's about.
It could be business, like you had mentioned earlier, through administration and leadership that is a creative talent and gift. And so the creative flow just really looks at all those seven spheres of influence and encourages the creators to say, every time I create, I am worshiping our creator. That's so true. In fact, just a while ago when I was coming before the recording, I got this thing that you know, we have the school of thought that when you talk about gifts and talents, we can only think about, you know, the visible ones that people can see on stage and see it's like, oh my gosh, this person has millions of followers.
So maybe it just singing or dancing, or creating reels or being a digital content creator, or you know, any talent that you think that has a following or can be summarized with you know, a huge sum of finance or whatever you call it. Then you think that that person is talented or this person is really talented because singing or dancing or something like that. But but the truth is, you know, the scripture talks about the parable of talents, where the Master calls all the servants and gives them something.
He'll say, some got ten and five and one and so on and so forth. And even if you look at the Romans chapter twelve, it talks about how each of us have been given different gifts or certain kinds of gifts. The Bible is very clear, which means that every one of us are gifted. It's not just the ones who are able to shine on stage, just the ones on Hollywood or Bollywood, not just the ones who are able to you know, seeing where captivate audiences or paint of photography or any of those things. But if you're good in communication, that's a gift.
If you're good in managing me managing, that's a gift. If you're good in you know, administration, that's a gift. Like we think about Joseph, right, Joseph was good in administration and management. That's the same thing when you look at Noah in the Bible. He was an engineer. That's how he was able to build their arc. So each individual is gifted in something. Guys, I wanted you to understand that you know, instead of thinking at all, let me just go by life. I'm not that gifted. I'm not talented.
No, you are gifted. And the Bible is very clear in saying that your gifts will make room for you. If you really want to make an impact for God's kingdom, if you want to grow, step into the fullness of your destiny, if you want to step into the full potential, and you know, walk in the calling that God has for you. I want you to focus on your gifts. And if you are saying I'm just going to start, just start. Even if it's to be a competitor to start another podcast competition for my podcast, I don't mind.
But if that's what you're called to do, if you are called to be a voice, yes, use it for the extension of God's kingdom. And we have these platforms like Creative Flow, you have Tash, you have May. We're there to encourage and cheer you through the journey. So whatever be it, start, you're taking your step towards what God has called you to do as well. So when you talk about creative flow, I mean to be honest. When you look at myself, I have this heart like when I went through this season in the past, I wanted opportunities, but I never got opportunities.
People always overlook me, people just rejected and just you know, never wanted to give me opportunities. So my heart has always been that human. And part of the ministry is to give opportunities to other creatives. And very few people have their heart to encourage other creatives. They're like, oh, man, you know what, it's my own staff, it's my own life, and blah blah blah blah blah blah. But you know, you have a hot but you want to encourage to other people, other creatives as well. So what was that that led you to step into that moment where you want to start this platform creative flow to encourage and empowered other creatives.
Yes, the community honestly was birth in twenty twenty one, and it was just, you know, just things I was noticing, just in passing in different circles that I sat in different spaces and communities where I realized the same theme with present, and that was this lack of gratitude, you know, God, like send me my husband, God, I want you know, more finances or resources or God, I want to be financially settled, or I want to do all of these things. And I thought to myself, wow, like, what is the commonality and all of these kind of themes here?
What is the commonality here? And the common denominator was memm III, And I thought, what are we doing for that? How are we how are we serving him? You know, he's not a genie. He doesn't just give you what you want on command. Sometimes he makes us wait. Sometimes he gives us what we need. Sometimes he delays things for years and years, just like the children of Israel, right, like they did not get to walk into the Promise Land. But if you look at that story closely, why didn't they walk into the Promise Land?
Because of their attitude. Literally, they could have gotten there in less than a week, but it took them forty years because they did not want to conform to the things that the Creator had for them. They didn't want manna, they didn't want to follow the pillar by day in the cloud by night. They didn't they wanted what they wanted when they wanted it. Well, the thing with creating, now you have skin in the game. Now there's something you're investing, and that's the purpose of it. Let's not be Christians or faith based people that are passively waiting for God to give us things.
What are we doing for God? How are we serving him? Are we being kind? Are we going out of our way to serve as a body? Are we being good stewards? So that's what the creative flow is about, because really it reminds us that when we create, we worship. So you're a worshiping God when you create, because that's how He designed you. He said, John, I want you to have the ability to motivate and encourage, Turquoise Tash, I want you to have the ability to speak, So you're going to be my mouth. Because that was the cool thing in this whole, in this whole observation, it was that we are a body, but just like a body has members, each one of us are a part of that.
So like your talent may be connected to the mouth, like I know mine it because what I do is I elevate. I bring light to voices and communities of people that would amount us I speak. I'm also a voiceover artist as well. John, you might be an ear because you're hearing in the spirit and you're listening. You're very connected to what the spirit is telling you. So all of us different, we are all different members, and so that's making us a body. But like I said, what really burst in me this idea in twenty twenty one was just like I said, what are we doing for the kingdom?
Because when we stand beforehand, I won't be able to bring anybody with me. He's gonna say what did you do? And like you mentioned earlier with the story of the talents, what did you do with the time and the talents that I gave you? That's so true, you know, I always say this. You know a lot of times we think that when you talk about, oh, I want to be like Joseph going to the palace or I want to be like David going to the throne. But they didn't go there to sit on and be on a vacation. They went there to sell people.
They went there to build God's kingdom. They went there to save people. So even if you see, I don't remember the exact reference, but it says that in the New Testament that no, these gifts are death so that you can use it to sell people, you know, and build God's kingdom. So what I want you guys to understand is it's not just for me, it's not just for you. We are not just doing this for ourselves. But you know, we are here to build the Kingdom of God. We are here to channelize what we have and we are so that you know, God's name will be glorified, so that souls will not go to hell.
In fact, my heartbeat has been, like many many years ago, maybe even a decade ago, I had a glimpse of hell and that encounter just made me go to the place where I'm like, you know what, I don't want to see people go to hell. I you know, yes, I'm not running the ministry because it's easy or it's something that I have a full time job, and Tash, you know, I've been going through so many battles on my own and it's it's been really really a big role across the right for me. But the reason I still stand firm and ensuring like every single day, the podcast, the YouTube, videos and social media post and all of these things.
Whatever I'm called to do, why I'm able to do it and I'm standing my ground to do it because I don't want people to perish. I don't want people to go to hell. And guys I want you to get to that place where you understand and that you have a call and a voice that will help the Kingdom of God to be glorified and uh you know be uh you know built through which you'll be able to talk about Jesus. Right. Um. In fact, a couple of things Number one you were talking about, you know, the seven Mountains of influence, right.
Uh, that's something I often tell people, even through my podcast. I think even a couple of videos back I was sharing on on my social media said, you know people think that, uh you know when you talk about walking in a purpose or you know, stepping into calling, it's about uh you know, quitting your job and running a full time ministry or a church or a charitable organization. No, you, you and I are called to shine the light in darkness, which means it can be in in in a business. It can be in the technology, it can be in media, it can be in health industry, it can be in in the entertainment industry, the music, the arts and politics, whatever be it.
And you were just talking about voiceover right, people will be like, oh, you know what, that's just you know, a side gig or something like that. But what if God has called you to shine your light in that. You know, because when you were talking about voiceover, I was like, oh my gosh, yes even I'm I mean, I can't call myself a voiceover artist yet. But you know, my favorite character is Scooby Doo, and those of you've been watching listening know all about how much crazy I have for Scooby Doo and the fact that I'm also a record holder for Scooby Doo.
So I use that like I speak in Scooby Doo's voice and then bring out message. So people will think that's crazy, that's weird, but you know, this is something that I often share. You know, what is weird about you is what God will use for others to hear about him. So get to that place where you know, even if something is weird, something is like crazy, something is like out of the box. That's what I want you to use. You know, the people who really did amazing stuff did things out of the box that were unconventional, that were the ones that people thought nothing is going to happen.
But you think about today, right, Like one of the classic examples I can think of is everybody preaches about Peter walking on water and say, hey, you know what, Peter was not that good in walking on Don't be like Peter. He lost focus. Blah blah blah blah blah blah. These are the kind of sermons a lot of people focus on. But the interesting thing is the ones who wrote about Peter's imperfect walk on water. We're sitting on a boat, right. It's easy to look at the people who just sit on the sidelines and comment about how imperfect Peter was and walking on water, but neglecting the fact that he made history by being the only one who walked on water other than Jesus.
Right, So get to that place where even if what you're doing is weird and crazy and people are making comments about you, it doesn't matter. You focus on doing what God has called you to do, and He will use you to build His kingdom in an amazing ways as well. So you were talking about using your creatives to worship God, and you were also telling me a little bit earlier that you have a hard to worship heart for worship. So I shut about what the Lord has been putting in your heart to God in worship.
Yes, he's just been reminding me about just in this season worship. Just like in the Book of Thessalonians it tells us to pray without ceasing. That's a command, and so I feel the same way with worship. You know, worship translated in Layman terms would just mean having a heart surrendered and thinking about what can I do God? What can I do in the reason to best do or the gifts the talent time that You've given me. And that is literally worship. It is living with intention. It is having a heart posture that is fully attuned to what God is saying in your life.
And guess what, when you're surrendered, you will hear from him because that means every high thing will not be able to exalt itself. You will be subjected to Christ's authority and you will hear him because you're willing, you're able to listen. So that's what he's been revealing to me that if we worship, if we become a people that enjoy worship, and worship is not waiting for Sunday morning to roll around, and you know, being critical about the music at your church or wherever you worship physically, it is literally living that out every single day.
Like we talked about, worship is creating. Every time you create your worship and your community with God, your community, our creator, when you sing the same thing, it is the words in those songs that allow us to really connect with what God is saying in his very essence. So God's just been revealing to me that, in addition to prayer, in addition to fasting, worship is everything because worship literally changes your heart, makes you more grateful, and the enemy doesn't want you to be grateful.
He wants you to find every single thing to be unhappy about. He wants to point out things to you that aren't aligning. But guess what, Like, maybe God has you in that season because you're going to be the chain breaker. You're going to be the generation curse breaker and your family and you have to be able to live that so you can speak that out and you can tell your story and you can testify what God did. So it's not about just leaving a season because it's uncomfortable. It's about God, I'm gonna worship you while I wait, I'm gonna worship you even still.
And that's what He's been revealing to me lately. That's so good. That's so good. You know, when I think about Tayo ort Ago. I interviewed someone on worship and we did an entire dua session on worship. I think, and you know, but most of the understanding a worship. But I just put it in a very funny way that most of us think that you know, we have like do fast songs and do slow songs, you know, worship, blazing worships time on then and we think that you know, the fast songs of praise songs, and you know worship is what you call us the slow songs.
So you know that's and then he said, you know, that's the worst definition of worship I've ever heard, you know, so,
uh, that's the way a lot of us thing that you know, when you think of praise and worship is all about songs. But it's basically, you know, from a place where it's your expression towards what the Lord has done and expression towards God. And for me, honestly, I'll tell you what, I can't really express myself through songs or through singing. For me, it's more like dance. I mean, when I'm on my own, I just go crazy, and you know, I mean that's who I am. I mean, just dance and even in church, everybody after the service, they would come and say, John, nice dance.
I'm like, oh gosh, I didn't want to make a scene or this whole thing. But you know, but that's the way I'm able to express. I mean, I can come and sing a song, but I can't. I can't express through that, you know what I mean. So you know, each individual needs to understand that. You know, your definition or your expression towards God will be different and whatever it is, fine that and worship God through that. You don't need to you know, just saying five songs, I think, oh, you know what my worship is that?
And you know that's how we all begin. But you know, it could be through anything, like you said, you know, through your creative space. You know. Sometimes I think, you know sometimes what I do. I think, you know, when I write poems, poems, that's also worship, you know, And I'm just somebody is good in drawing. I've seen worship painting and worship artists. So there's so much that you can do. Sometimes I think I just walk on the road and just glorifying God, looking at all the nature and admiring all of that.
That's worship, right, So if what you're doing and saying that's the act of worship, if that's not actually an expression from your heart, it's not going to be worshiped, right, It's just going to be singing somebody else's you know, expressed and then you're singing their song, but you're not actually making a difference. So I know some of you might be getting mad at me for saying this, but that's the truth. But again, as you was saying, you know, I know a lot has been teaching me a lot about this heart of worship, you know, having that attitude of worship you're sharing about, you know, getting that a place where you know from your heart, you surrender from your heart.
You're saying, I prioritize God, your you, and your Kingdom over what I want. And that is an element of or a lifestyle of worship that we need to inculcate. Right even in the podcast or the you know, even as I was sharing for over seven months, I couldn't interview anybody. I didn't, but you know, those are the seasons the Lot took me through to in prospect every single thing. Yes, I mean, you're doing these things consistently. You know, one of my key things that everybody used to call me as the missed consistency, you know, like I'm always consistent, like every single day and you know everywhere people used to talk about my consistency.
Still a point where you know, all help broke loose and I had to question myself, what's consistency? My God? You know what I mean? You know, am I worshiping consistency? Am I worshiping my podcast? If God asked me to stop, will I do it? I literally went to that place, you know what, God, I don't care about the ranking. I don't care about where it is if that is not what you want. I don't want a false idol. I don't want the ministry to make on my idol. You know, getting to that place where what means to you is also something you want to connect and say, God, you know what, what do you have?
Is this something that's taking your place? That's the place you need to go to, and that is the lifestyle of worship where you say, God, you know what, I know, I love this, I want this. But even if you don't want that, it's okay. I choose you about that. That is the place of worship that we need to go to. So I don't know what is your area, guys, I don't know what area you may be in where it could be your money. I know people, some people I've
come across, for them, money is like their God, like what ways they can make money? Talk about money all the time. But you know, is money or God is your possessions? Is that your God? Is your pride? You know, your ego, your own self interest? Or is God truly the God of your life? So that is something that we need to I know I'm an encourager, but I have to say certain things in a certain way. So according to your social media, one of the things I came across is that you are into this helping the faith based communities to unlock their potential through inclusivity.
So when you look at you know, the faith based community, especially of course in the world, in politics and all of these things, there is so much abusiveness. But Christians are so divided and that's the saddest truth to look at because we have a common goal that is to disrupt the devil's work and you know, share the gospel, build God's kingdoms. That should be a common goal, but unfortunately Christians are fighting over all the prettiest of reasons. They are trying to expose and destroy other people's work.
How in such a world, at such a time that we're living in today, how can you still instill that unity? And now, what are some steps that we Christians can do to bring awareness to build God's Kingdom together instead of being divided. Yes, And honestly, if we look at the big picture, which is Jesus, that is the ultimate picture of how we can love. The man literally loved all communities of people. And so if we break that down, that looks like him loving the tax collector, that him loving the murderer, him loving the lame person, him loving the adulterer.
I mean, him even loving different communities of people, black, Hispanic, White, Latin, x Asian, you name it, white, It just spans broadly. But the beautiful thing about Jesus is that he loved but still held a line in the sand. And so the line in the sand is something that I called. It's actually something I'm working on right now. Spending that you ask, and the approach is called living on cute cue. C stands for curiosity, and that is our ability to ask questions, just like Joke did in the Book of Joe, he asked God.
I mean, he was raw with the Creator and he asked, God, why was I even born? If he can ask questions, so can we. And we're living in a time right now, John where the enemy. He is the prince of the air. So he is muting, physically muting our voices on platforms and faces and making us feel shame for asking questions. That is literally a part of my testimony, you know, being muted. So that's c being curious and asking the question. Then we move on to you, which is understanding. So now that you've asked the question, just like Joe did, he waited to hear from the Creator, from God, what do you say about this?
Lord? Why was I born? And so we can wait, literally go to the word of God and ask him and say, okay, what does your word say? And his word is the standard that we live by. It is the standard of truth. And it will not it will not, you know, return to him void because it's his word. He said it and it still stands. So that's you. And then last but not least e is expression, whether that's through prayer or through worship. Once you've asked your question and God has answered it, now you can pray or worship in accordance.
And so all that is is making your heart malleable to the things that God cares about, the things that concern God. And just like that original illustration of Jesus, you know, the reason Jesus was able to love is because he was so in love with his father and he was able to be in tune with God. And so that's what living on you is. It allows you to be so in tune. Ask your question unmuted, goes to the word of God, and build your life on his word, which is your standard, so that when people try to come you can say, no, I love you, but this is my standard.
I see you, but this is my standard or why not? This is what the word of God says. I still love you though, And so my business what it does is it gives you. It gives leaders, faith based people the ability to still love have their standard, but also resources. So that way, if you interact or you're in the community and you're attending your church or what have you, you're not left empty handed. Because if we look at Jesus, he never left you empty handed. Think about that. He either answered you with a question.
That's how that's what he did. He allowed you to ponder, to think. He always encourage that, or he left you with something. And so I believe in these faith based spaces we need to lead people with resources. Even if we have a line in the sand, we can still love them, but give them the resources to be able to be empowered and make the decision that is best for them. That's so good, that's so needed. That's that's literally what it means to be the light in the darkness. Right, We're not right. We cannot go and change anybody.
You know, some people think, you know where there are certain people who are able to go and convert people and that's the only way to do. But you know, I think, you know, the Matia way is to understand that different people are caused to do different things and to do it in a different way. Like I mean, as a preacher, one of the practical things I've seen is, you know, people a lot of people in India follow a lot of preachers in America. Now even I listened to like just in America. But the thing is this, um, I h to be honest.
Some of them say, there are some preachers who go on the streets and preach and with boldness, and you know, they cast the devil and then they even even I think two weeks ago, I saw a video of some some random person I don't know who he is, but he just walks on the road, sets up a speaker and then he's preaching the word of God boldly. And and there are some people who come and you know attack us like you know in you know, other preachers and say, oh, you you're not being bold, that's why you're not going and doing a similar thing like what they're doing.
Okay, But the truth is the government. The Constitution of America, the first Amendment says you have the right to pray, you have the right to assemble, that's the first amendment Constitution. But in Indian constitution that's not allowed. Right if I go with a speaker on the road and I set it up, you know, then they're gonna put me in jail, you know, constitutionally even too even I mean, of course, it's it's kind of like in a bad state right now where the government is even suppressing Christians even further.
Even though the constitution says you have the right to profess and you know, preach and propagate your faith, But there are some clause in that, like you know, if they want to say that what we're doing is uh, you know, conversion, or if you're if they want to say that what we're doing is a nusance. If somebody just feels that or this guy's standing on the road and preaching and it's unusance, you can be you can be immediately cut off, you know what I mean. So you can't keep what happened in America is the standard because that is different, because the constitution of America is different.
The constitution in India is different. So likewise, like you said, you know, we need to get to that place where we understand and empower people like Okay, you know what this is, what it is in this place, but we're going to use what is available to us, not own capacity, rather than you know, burn up the whole thing, you know what I mean. Some people go overboard and put more trouble to other people also, So we need to be in a place we use the wisdom of God, you know what I mean. Yes, And honestly I don't know about like the social media laws in those countries, but if you do have access and can use your platform, that is one free way to exercise freedom of speech.
No one is going to come to your house and take your phone away from you. I mean again, use discernment and use you know, really use the mind of Christ which gave all of us right. So you know, I would say that if you if you do have any of those platforms. Now, Instagram just released threads and so they're every day there. There are new platforms in new ways, So just find a platform that works for you and use your voice or so actually was really powerful, John. You don't even need to worry about that part because when you're creating, you are using your voice.
So there are some There's actually a woman um that I was chatting with the other day and she told me that she is able to in her business, she's able to minister to people. So it could literally just be if you're a nurse, maybe I don't know, maybe you have a little get together or a lunch where you know, it's it's people that are Christians and you read your Bible, or you know, maybe you do hikes in you're for your country and on those hikes those are like prayer walks. Like it doesn't have to be this structured thing.
But I tell you what, creativity will totally show you how to do it. You can use your hands, you can use your your music, your music. The enemy reason why he was so good at what he did us he was he was he had the most beautiful voice. Yeah, he's using music literally to transform our our hearts. So even your eargates here, these are ways that we can really pay attene. What are we letting in? What are we allowing ourselves? Because it's something as simple as that that can totally change our minds.
So when you're creating, think about that. Who's going to be my product, Who's going to be hearing my product? How is it going to affect those that listen or interact with it? Because I'm telling you that makes a huge difference with how people receive it. And some people. I don't know if this has happened to you, But I'll just hear worship music and just start crying. I don't even need I can just hear two notes and I'm already I can. You know why because they can prayed over that worship song before they released it, or they prayed over that sanctuary before you walked in.
So just pray over whatever you're working on because God can use it in whatever form so reach people and you don't have to utter a word. People will just feel the presence of God, you know, absolutely true, like you said, you know, because being in the creative space, like like what you're saying, you know, even the reels, you know, just making random videos and earlier eyes to follow the traditional pattern, you know, like you know, as a preacher, you need to be like this blah blah blah. And when I broke out of it, you know, a lot of the religious nuts got mad at me for doing that.
But the truth is I'm able to reach people beyond the boundaries of the church, and that's what you and I are called to do. You don't need to follow the religious protocol. You know something, I think one person got mad at me for not starting my sermon on somewhere without with prayer. You know that that person expected me to pray, read the Bible, and then start to summon. And I was thinking, you know, that method may work for certain people, but that's not working for me, you know what I mean. I think we had this conversation earlier, like you wanted to start with too write like this podcast episode and I said, you know, the thing is somebody got so mad that they posted a lot of negative things about me just for that.
I'm like, you know, if you want to do that, go ahead and do it on your space. But what I want to say is work. Look at what works. You know. For example, some people expect, you know, to preach the whole gospel in one in one minute reel. It doesn't work, you know, you can you know, some people get so mad, you know, they read, they see one reel which is like for fifty nine seconds, and then they want to start an argument. And then I asked him, did you watch the full video before making the comment?
And they're like no, they didn't. So yeah, you know, these are some practical things. I know we're going all over the topic, but but yeah, like like you said, you know, we need to people need to be wise, you know, in a nutshell. You know, you can't put this is the way, this is the thing, this is that thing. You know, just just follow how the Lord leads and God can use. Sometimes you don't need a big sermon to touch somebody. It can be something like you said. The other two weeks ago, somebody in my workplace, a person of a different faith went through depression.
Came to me and she said, I don't feel like sharing this with anybody else, but I want to help and I want to share with with you. You know, that's a great way You're able to share with them God's word, right, That's that's what we're called to do, guys, that's what we are ultimately called to do wherever God is placed to shine your light for Jesus Christ. Now, the Lord is also using you in the prophetic and as a prophetic voice. So I'll talk to us a little bit about that. Yes, this is is a newer space for me, but I'm just leaning in because it's been interesting in these last four years.
I think I started the conversation by saying that Chicago found me. I really did not not to say, know about it. I knew about Illinois, but I didn't It was not something that I had ever thought to myself. And what I realized is that literally that move from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Chicago, Illinois was prophetic because ever since that day, I can tell you four years in the making and counting, I can see the spiritual I can see the prophetic God immediately when I moved here, he started to show me numbers, and I mean I never knew about it.
I never told anybody because I was so afraid. I didn't know what that was. But it was interesting because I had always as a kid, I loved to spell. I still do. I love words, and numbers always fascinated me. So I would remember people's birthdays back the day. I don't know if you remember with cell phones, well not cell phones actually, but right, well, my grand my grandparents had a rotary phone. So I love that because I would practice my numbers and I would always remember. But no back in the day when you had a landline.
So I grew up with a landline like a landline phone, and no people's numbers in order to call them, and so I would just remember. I would commit numbers to memory. So and I still know a lot of the numbers. And so what I'm saying is numbers is just how he's always I didn't know it at the time as a kid, but moving into this prophetic space, I can now see, Okay, God, that's how you speak to me in numbers. And so we talked earlier about seven. Seven represents completion, represents a complete work. It took the Lord seven days, seven days in a week.
Four. That was the number he showed me quite a bit when I moved to Chicago. And so he normally speaks in repetitive patterns. Sometimes if he gives you a number twice. Remember when he would call people in the Bible, he would say Abram, Abram, salsal, like he always So these are just little things, and so I can't exactly pinpoint it to you, John, but I started to notice different things. And then once I noticed numbers, I started to develop this love for like prayer and the Holy Spirit. And so growing up in the church, like I always knew about the Holy Spirit.
You know, my grandparents on both sides, they were Christians. They gave their life to the Lord. My parents Christians. But I never knew about the Holy Spirit until I moved to Chicago. I was so startled by how amazing the Holy Spirit is. I literally cannot do anything without the Holy Spirit. Now I need him in every facet of my life. And so what I'm saying is that is how it started. And so when God just puts little things on your heart, pay attention to that. That's how he shows you what he wants you to do, or where he wants you to lead, you know, lead, or how he wants to direct your steps, and so just make note of it.
Another thing I started to notice is not only would he reveal certain things to me, but he would it would there would be this intensity, this intensity, so like he might say, go and pray for that person, and I would say, you're like, pray for whole there's five hundred people here. I don't even know what you're talking about. Okay, pray for that person, and it would the intensity would just increase, and maybe that day I say, Okay, it's Sunday, there's too many people. I'm afraid I'm not going to do it the next Sunday.
And so he would That's how he speaks to you. So it's been a journey, but I would say it's been different things, different encounters. I've also received prophetic words. I started to become very interested in prophetic words, but not just any prophetic words. You know, there was a when I first moved to Chicago in twenty nineteen, So every month I started to prophetically speak over my month, and so every single month, and this was when I moved to Chicago, I would write down what I want that month or what the Lord would reveal to me that month would be.
So I remember specifically, in August of twenty nineteen, I wrote down turnaround month. It was going to be my turnaround month. There was something I was walking through at the time, and I just declared, what this would be my turnaround month. So I went to church a few days after that and I received an actual prophetic word and the person literally said that you have in you the same spirit that was in your grandmother. Now, my grandmother, she was a prayer warrior when she was alive, and everything you asked her, she didn't always refer you back to Jesus, refer you back to the Word of God.
And as a kid, I never understood that. I was like, Grandma, why can't you just answer my question? Why can't you just tell me? And so I wrote down that prophetic word that I received that day, and I started to see it carry out. There was just, all of a sudden, this desire to pray like my grandmother. There's this desire to know, to be interested in things concerning the spirit in virtual warfare and understanding the different types of spirits. Like I could go on and on. But that's just it started with numbers.
And my one prayer to the Lord was, the Lord, please order my steps, show me the right things people to listen to. Because just like we have things in the spirit that our Kingdom of light based, there's also a kingdom of darkness based things. So those same numbers can be used as angelic numbers, which I don't subscribe to and I don't follow, can be used in the Kingdom of darkness for wrong And so my prayer was like, oh, God, you send me the right people. If you're showing me these numbers, like, send me the right people, lead me to your truth.
And he did. So that was another thing guarding your heart. Just because you have a talent and just because he gives you a gifting doesn't mean every door is your door. You pray about that and ask him God, is this the right door? Show me reveal to me, and he will. That's so good, that's so good, like you said for me. Also, the Lord, you know, uses me in the prophetic and the it's it kind of started like what you're saying, right, you know, the Lord for you, it's numbers, the lots that He is showing you through numbers.
For me, it was through dreams and visions and you know, like supernatural encounters and some of the things. When I, if I had to share, it's you know, you can't just People might call it a hallucination. People might say it's just the you know in your mind, you know, you've lost your mind. What I would I want to say, but you know what, these things are true. You know, unless you experience it for yourself, you'll think that it's crazy. But when you, you know, receive it by faith and you know, have that heart to say, God use me whatever it is, whether it's the prophetic, whether it's uh, you know, God uses you in healing or restoration or deliverance or whatever it is.
You know, give it into the Lord's sense. And you know when you were sharing that, you know, the Lord gave you the word uh in August twenty twenty nineteen. You know that it's going to be the turnaround. And then likewise uh, you know, the preacher also gave you the same word. I was reminded of how in twenty twenty twenty two, the Lord gave me the words saying that twenty twenty I mean not twenty twenty twenty one about twenty twenty two. The Lord gave me the word to release and that it's going to be the here of Favor.
So I released, I prepared all the posters, everything, and the release that it's going to be the here of Favor with the particular Bible words. And my church that I attend, the main church that that I'm part of, which is on the top largest churches in the state here and that faster that night releases the same word over the year saying it's the here of Favor with the same Bible verse. And and not only that, the next day and now the evangelists that I know, she released the same word that it is going to be your favor that day that same day about the year twenty twenty two.
So you see, you can't just make it up. But this is the how the Lord. You know, even though you may be far away or whatever, you know that this is the Lord's doing. Like you said, you know, God confirms that word. That's one of the important aspects when God speaks to you, you know through the profeting, you will know without a shadow of a doubt, this is not alutination. This is the Lord leading you and guiding you. As well, and you were talking about how that can be the aspect of you know, the truth and darkness right like you were saying, we need to be cautious about that.
And you were also shanning that the Lord uses you in the area of a spiritual warfare and all of these things. Can you share a little light about that to those who have no clue about spiritual warfair? Yes, oh my goodness, I'm still considering myself a practicer in that and learning and listening to two things. I'm so hungry to learn more about it. But just what I have gathered so far, spiritual warfare is real. So what it is is it's seeing in the spirit before the physical. So everything that we see that has been manifested is was once at some point in the spiritual.
So all of us sitting right here, I'm talking to you, John, I have a body that God has created, but I'm a spirit just like you are. So guess what. That's why Sometimes when you walk into a room you've never said a word to that person, to anybody there, you can up your spirit automatically interacts with that room and knows. Sometimes some people may walk into a space and say I have a strange feeling. I'm getting out of here, I'm leaving. You didn't talk to anybody, you didn't ask anybody anything.
That's your spirit. So that's spirit. So spiritual warfare is essentially what is happening in the spirit that we cannot see with our own eyes. And so the prayer is God show me revealed to me, open my eyes to see those things, and not everybody can see it. Like I've never really said that I know of I've never seen demons or anything like that, but I so, but I have and see that's that's that's how it works. That's for why we're a body. So I believe if I'm seeing it correctly. Like there are prophets, so there's the fivefold ministry.
There are prophets, there are apostles, there are teachers, and so they are seers. Like so I'm I think I'm a seer and I'm also a feeler. I'm a perceiver, so I can sense that's the Holy Spirit. And then seeing is like being able to I've never, like you said, I've never seen I think that I'm aware of yet, but it's like I'll have dejavree moments where I'll be in my waking life. But it's like I'll immediately stop in my track and it's like, oh wait, God, I feel like I've seen this before, and so he'll show many things that will happen in the future before it happens.
So spiritual warfare is there's a there's a Bible verse that talks about for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities and rulers of darkness that sit and hide places. That simply means that we are living in a world that is spiritually charged. We cannot see it, just like we can feel the air. We can't see I've never seen air before, but we know it's there. That's spiritual warfare. It's the ability to use the armor of God to fight, whether that's worship, whether that's prayer, and there's a full on armor.
There's your helmet of salvation, your sort of the spirit, your belt of truth, your got, your shoes of the Gospel, your breastplate of righteousness. Every day you have to be girded in that armor because the spiritual world is actually more powerful than what we think. Did I do a good description of it? Or do you have anything else? To add, No, it was cool. It was cool. I mean, of course, um asking me if anything to had Uh, it's yeah. Actually, I think it's been a long time since I actually spoke about, you know, my encounters, like you know, the demonic and all of those things.
I've had actual encounters. Like one of the incidences was when I was in my room, in my boding in my while I was doing my autospace engineering program at one thirteen to night, the demonic figure actually came to attack me and choke me and it was about to kill me. And I didn't have any space, any any ability to even respond to it. But then it just went back and it could not come back in. And the next morning, early in the morning, my mom calls I never told anybody about this. My mom calls me up.
She's she's way back at home in Bangalore and she calls me up and she said, what happened at one thirteen to night? I'm like, what I tell anybody about this? But she said, the Lord workout up to pray for me because I've been attacked by your demon. So you know, these these are ways you know that it's not just me alissinating, but this is the work of you know God, that there is a spiritual warfare, there is an attack that's happening. And there's so many instances where I've seen, uh, like you said, I've seen and I can also feel, okay, um uh.
There are moments when you know, like me and some others were called to go and pray for places or areas where they were demons possessed and all of those things. And I've seen this, okay, when I walked demons just running on either side, Like I mean, I can just see that and feel it, and it's it's an amazing experience to know that. You know, when the Bible says the demons are scared, you know you you may be scared of demons, and even for me, you know that fear of demons come when you watch a horror movie.
But the truth is, you know, when you know who's in you, the demons are actually scared of you. I always say this, you know, people say, oh, the devil is like a roaring line, but the Bible says the devil is like a rolling line. He's not the rolling line. The real line is the line of Jude are living on the inside of you. So when you have the real line in you. The fake line is going to run away from you. So that's the hope that we need to have. And like you said, we need to shed light into this aspect of spiritual awareness, I mean spiritual warfare awareness about it because people are just living a normal life.
I mean, see, there is a difference between people who just say, you know, oh, everybody has problems, he has everybody has problems, but the problems that we face as believers is different, like in the sense like, uh, another Bible says Matthew Fiford, featherin comes on the just and the unjust alike, or even when you say Joseph's time, the famine came on everybody, you know, both the Chris, the believers and the unbelieving Heathens. Everybody face the famine. But the truth is there are certain things that problems of the world, like the pandemic and all of these things.
Everybody faces these things. But you know, spiritual warfare is something you know, the enemy targets those. I mean, let's be honest, right, like, uh, why when an enemy country is attacking another country, they're going to attack the soldiers, not the civilians. So the Bible talks about it in um. You know, I forgot the reference, but it says that you know that we are the soldiers of God. So our warfare is different from other people, right, right, So because we are in the battlefield, we are we are fighting the good fight of faith, so we need to be prepared to fight it.
We need to receive the strength from God, our commander in chief, so that we will be able to fight the good fight of faith. And through that. See another thing that just popped into my head. You know, when a soldier never fights for himself. I mean, of course it's for himself also, but for the country, for other people who don't even know him. Likewise, we as believers, when we are fighting that fight, we're doing it for the building of God's kingdom so that people who do not even know him get to know him eventually.
Amen. And also for cats and mentioned the time. But you're so right. The reason why spiritual warfare exists, right because we don't really talk about why. We talked about what, but we didn't talk about why. It is because the minute you accept Jesus into your life, that activates the spiritual world immediately because they're there. They don't want you to accept Jesus. They want you to be in their kingdom, and so in it you are aligned to Jesus and you're walking with Jesus, you're an immediate target for them.
So that is why we do wrestle with a lot of spiritual warfare because it is designed we are living in a fallen world. We are not, so we're living The enemy is the prince of the air, so he is the prince of this earth, meaning all of his agents assigned. And we didn't even get to that, but assigned territories. Don't get me started on that. We are assigned territories for specific things. Like in Chicago, there's a lot of there's a spirit of murder, that's a that's a that's a territory, that's a demonic john, that's a spirit.
You can walk through in places and you can see it's rundown, you can see poverty. So a lot of us are assigned territories based on our cities where we're based to break those strongholds. So where you live is not by chance. God placed you there for a reason, and so spiritual warfare is designed for anyone that is walking in light, specifically saying that they are a Christian that they believe in Jesus and they are pushing the gospel. You will be a target. You will be an automatic target. But you're going to need your weapons, and your weapons are your armor, the word of God.
That's why it's important to pray and to worship, because, like you said at the very mention of the name of Jesus, demons have to flee. That's so true. Yeah, And also I wanted to just had this like what do you think a base of us and can discerne? Like, how did you, you know, develop your gifts skill of discernment. That's this is a good question and it's not at to be a popular one, So consult your doctor on this. But fasting, I tell you, when you fast, you will hear the Holy Spirit. So what you're really saying is God, I am consecrating this time.
He might give you three days, he might give you a week, he might give you forty days. Remember the remember Jesus was he walked in He was in the wilderness for forty days and forty nights. So when you are with the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit with you, you have no choice but to hear him and him alike, I used this example about your parents, your mother. I love this example and I'll share it with you and the listeners today. Let's say you're in a store and for whatever reason you are I don't know.
You are in one section and you and you're with your mother, right You're in one section of the store, and then you look up and your mother's not behind you. They're in a completely different section. But you know they're somewhere in the store. It's because you both are there. You know that they're there. But for whatever reason, from wherever you are, you call out and you say mom, and automatically the person it could be you're in a crowded room knows your voice. Why because you're their child.
Or let's say you hear your mother's laugh and you know right away that's your mom because you know your mom's laugh because you spent time with your mom, and the same your mom knows your voice. When you spend time with the Lord the Holy Spirit, you won't know his voice. You won't even ask any question. The room could be as crowded as it wants to be, but you will know exactly whose voice that is because you spent time. The only reason you know of your mom's voice and know her laugh is because you spent time with her, You're in her presence.
That's the end. It's literally, are you willing spend time fasting in prayer. That's one of the quickest ways to know the Holy Spirit and to discern because you will be spending time, and as you spend time, your desire will increase. You want to know more of the Holy Spirit. You want more of His presence. You want more. And before you know it, you won't even have to let a scenario play out. You're like, Nope, door closed. I'm not even going to explore that. Why because you know the Holy Spirit? And he said, Nope, don't go in that direction.
Do this, do that. I whiley was shatting that, I remembered I actually did one challenge kind of a thing, a video on YouTube where I did like, I asked my brother to put small, small audio segments of different people, some people I hardly known about, some people I listened to on a regular basis. So and then one of them, whom, especially pass Jost, I think he put with a lot of background noise and all of that, But in spite of that, I was able to immediately recognize his voice because I've listened so much and I brought out, how you know somebody I've never listened to.
I can never find out people I listened Bradley, I can't find out and the ones I listened regularly, even in spite of all the challenges, I even in the spite of the noise, I can immediately say, that's this person's voice. So you know. Likewise, the more time you spend in hearing God's voice, like you gave that perfect example of a mom, you will be able to hear his voice and you will know that this is the Lord speaking to you. Is there anything else the Lord is put in your heart that you would like to share?
Any other thing, no other like real topic other than just my hope and my prayer. Because we touched ground on a lot of things, and I this was such a great conversation. Is that if you do not know the Lord, this is the time. Do not tearing, because I'm telling you we are living in interesting times and you want to make sure that you have the protection, the ultimate protection. Crystals will not give you anything. The demonic world will not give you what the Kingdom of Light will give you. So that's my only thing that if you don't know Jesus, like, please reach out to someone, reach out to John, like, get to know this creator that we're talking about that has literally saved our lives.
And we would fight for him because we know that his word is true and he's faithful. And yes, there will be some spiritual warfare. There was literally spiritual warfare when we tried to connect earlier. I mean it took us seven months to connect. But guess what we are able to do it. So, yes, you will encounter difficulties and hurdles, but you have a whole body of people that live in all places that you can reach into or tap into. So yeah, that would be my one and that man, if you don't know Jesus, inquire, we would love to like introduce you to him.
Absolutely. Yes, that's the biggest gift that you can ever get from gift or anybody to tell you about Jesus. You know, that's the best thing. And guys, time and time I would I always share with you guys, And I want to remind you again, yes, God so allowed the world that he sent his only son Jesus, that if you just believe in him and the work that he's finished on the cross for you. He took away your sins and our sins on the cross, and he died and rose again. And that's a simple message of salvation that because of him we have eternal life.
Because of him, we have real life and the assurance that even today, when you pass out, you know that you're going to go to be with the Lord in heaven. So that's the hope and of the good news. And I if you have any questions, put it in the common section, or you want to reach out through a private message or whatever way, we want to help you because we want to make sure that you are there with us in heaven. So that's the thing I want to really share quickly. Some fun questions. What's your favorite dynamo and why?
Oh? Okay, So I like the Eagle because the eagle source and I just believe in life we when we have we will soar. It'll be effortless. That's nice. That's nice. So if you could land on any other planet, what would that be? Wow? Okay? And why interesting? I don't know. I think I think Saturn would be interesting because it has a lot of rings apparently, and so I'm just curious about that. Lovely that architecturally designed planet. Up close those rings are made of I think Satin would be my planet two because I also lowed rings.
I'm called the John of the Rings, like a lot of the rings. You know. I just loved rings. So yeah, that's interesting as well. So if you could be anybody on the Titan, and who would it be and why would you survive? I think I think I would Actually, I think I would survive. I think I would survive. I think that I would. I would just be on the boat. I would be on the boat because I kind of I don't know, I'm a kind of like I want to kind of be in in things like I want to experience things like and sometimes like you, I think I actually saw this earlier today, Like it's okay, you don't have to lead everything.
Yes, I know that those qualities are in me, but sometimes I like to just be in an environment and just be there and be present. I think I would just want to be on the boat. But I think I would survive. That's nice, So you might be rouse. So yeah, any life changing book that you would recommend. So I'm actually just starting to read this um, but I'll like hold it up so I love Bishop TDJ. Oh, that's nice. Yes, I know about this book. Yes, a chance to read it. But it's called Disruptive Thinking. So I just started reading it.
Um and so literally it says a daring strategy to change how we live, lead and love. I mean, Dan is just so annointed. So I would definitely encourage you to check out any of his books and resources. He's very good. You know. Funny thing right now, I just I just you know, the camera's height. I get two books underneath, and one is dd Jake's book and the others duo lost book. I'm just finding man. So yeah, DDJ's book made. What's this book? Man? Yeah? The previous one? Yeah, the communication one?
Oh I forgotten? Yeah, don't drop the mic. Yes, I can't see the day. Yeah. So yeah, so wow we bought that's so good. So yeah one more last funny question? Yeah, not one more? Yeah, any plans to come to India? You know what's funny? I would love to. Um, I've actually never been invited. But the thing is that I used to work for a company that was based in Girgown, India. Have you heard of that? Like where like where is that? In relay that's in the northern part of India. Yes, oh it's north Okay, so that but that was in twenty nineteen when I moved here.
I would love the apportunity. I'm not really sure. I've never been offered, so I would love this if you do come, you know someone to meet. So yeah, I'm definitely like last, but not at least I'll based an important question because I love Scooby Doos so much. So who would you be on the Scooby Doo Show? And why? Um Man, I just love that show in general. It's so hard to pick. I think I just like Scooby Doo honestly, so he represents my childhood right And I don't know if you know, but like growing up in the nineties, I'm sorry, but we hands down and some of the best cartoons, like best Times, like I don't know, the fashion.
Our fashion was so on point, even our rap was good, Like I don't know, things just made more sense to me. We had fun like different uh like ring pops. We had you know, candies that were just so creative. So I would probably want to be Scooby Doo just because he was his own person. And that's me, Like I'm just I don't march to the of anybody's drum, but Jesus is. But also like I'm also my own person, so more power to you. If what I'm doing makes no sense, I'm like, thank you God, because it only needs to make sense to you.
If you told me to do it, I'm doing it. That's so good. That's so good. So anything that we can pray for you, yes, So if you could pray over just the creative flow, pray over inspirational Mecca and our inspirational m just what God is doing, and pray for the hearts of God's people. I think this is like really the time. It's no surprise that this is like during the time that He wants me to step out, and it will. I have already encountered a lot of kind of like conflict already. So just prayer for that and prayer for the body that we would really rise up in our authority and that we would take ownership because he will ask us what we did with our time or talents, and so I just want to see more people doing what we're doing.
And here's the thing. When you're doing what God calls you to do, life is so much better. It's so much more fun. You don't even have to look back. You just you just love every day because you're doing what you were created to do. So just praying for the body and like the creative flow and inspirational m sure, we'll definitely pray for you with regard to that. Any any word that the Lord is putting in your heart regarding me, the ministry, or the podcast or any of these things. Yes, so the prayer for you or what'sout my heart is please continue to do these.
I know you said it's been a little bit of a hiatus for you, but your last message I'm durning the times and seasons just had me in tears. That is, that is something that is a part of I would say the prophetic nature that I think God has put me is Debrah. And that's a whole other conversation. But like the spirit of Deborah and the sons of Issachar who understood the times in the season. So anyway, what I'm trying to say is you are called for such a time as this, and yes you will, you will encounter resistance.
But I am speaking into your ministry and I speak prosperity. I just speak that the power of God would overtake your ministry, and I just speak that you would continue. He would give you supernatural courage strength to continue what you're doing, because we really need more of these kinds of conversations. And I come against every planet, the enemy in any area of your life that would cause you to feel doubtful, there's no need to doubt because you have an amazing gift. No wonder your last name is gift up.
That's prophetic to thank you so much. Guys, will almost come to the end of the session and I will definitely be putting out Dasha's social media handless and webs Do you have a website? It's actually coming so but yes, it'll make my name inspirational Mecca dot com. So okay, but this by the time this airs, it should be live inspirational Mecca dot com. Sure, we'll put all the details in the description. You can probably check it out, not now, but after the end of this program. Um. And at the same time, I'm going to be taking this time to pray for Tash And uh, you know one of my heartbeat is you know we always invite guests and you know we receive from them, but my heart is to pray for them, bless them, and that that's the culture that I want to bring in.
Uh and uh so after which I would ask you to pray a prayer of impartation over me the ministry as well as uh. You know those who are listening and watching as well. So I want to just take this time to pray for you. Lord. I pray for Dash in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, I thank you that this session was a blessing. Lord. We pray that those who are watching listening from around the world. I pray that this word will go forth and touch lives in the name of Jesus Christ. At the same time, Lord, Lord, we bring forth your mighty woman years Dash in the name of Jesus Christ.
Lord, I pray that you will bless the work of her hands. Lord, I pray that you're going to lead by your hands. As I'm praying, I see a vision of Jesus just leading you by his hand, and I pray the name of Jesus Christ that every doubt, every scheme of the devil, there's so many voices blowing on every direction. I see a vision like that. But you know, the Lord is just taking you through like when you see go through a wars or a confusion zone. There's so much of a turmoil and every side, but Jesus is just taking you through, and you're just walking through safely.
And I release that word over you that you're going to come out victorious. Yes, I see you. You know, summit to the top of the mountain that God has for you. Yes, there were challenges, There were so many obstacles across your path. But God has been faith and He's going to be faithful in leading you as he leads. You. Just follow his leading as he leads you, just go forward. And I pray that you will experience God opening new doors. New seasons are stepping up. I see another vision of you, know, a new plant blossoming.

And then every viewer and listener today, Dear God, I thank you for John Gifta. I thank you for his ministry and how you are using his voice and the prophetic. Lord, I thank you for every word that you have given him.
I thank you for his experience. God. And we know that it's you that qualifies us. And so many are called, but if you are chosen, so I thank you that you have selected him. You have chosen him for such a time as this. I think you that he is a male voice, Lord Jesus, when we see that the enemy is muting not only voices, but voices of men's, I think that his voice would rise, and that Father, you would be his shield. That you would be his strength of God. I thank you that you would protect him from the sneers of the enemy, Father, which will come.
Lord, but I think you that his foundation of truth would be built on your word. And I just speak over listener and every person that is watching, God, I thank you for their life. I thank you God that you have created them in your image Jesus, hallelujah. And so with that, God, there is freedom. There is freedom of God. And so may they just let you in today. I pray that if they don't know you, that they would have a curiosity, Lord, and that you would then develop their understanding, and then they would move to expression.
May our lives be a life of worship. God, give them a heart for worship, give them a heart to create, because in that they are worshiping and honoring You every single day of their lives. Father, I thank you that you have called them to rise up, Lord, to create businesses, Father, to be a light in their spheres of influence, like we talked about earlier today. And I just thank you that they will be generational curse breakers in their family Jesus, and that even if they're walking alone in the beginning, I thank you that you will surround them with the right people and the right community.
