Gifta International. 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.

I speak new beginnings over your life. I speak new channels of opportunities

over your life. That this is just a beginning of something new in your

life. In the name of Jesus Christ, Lord, bless her ministry,

Bless her efforts, Bless the creative's flow, give out creative ideas. In

the name of Jesus Christ. I pray that she will step into the fullness

of her destiny. Lord, I pray for her family. I pray for

every obstacle that she's facing, every prayer request that she has, every petition

in our heart, Lord, every deepest secret that she has. We know

that You're going to make it all come to pass according to your plan and

your riches in your ultimate will that you have for her. O God,

we give you the glory, the honor, and the prey in Jesus Mighty

and precious name. I pray, Amen, Amen, Amen, And then

let me impart on your ministry. 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. Maybe you send destiny helpers rather

divine connections of God to order their steps forward. I thank you now and

I call it done in the name of Jesus. I pray Amen, Amen.
