no-transcript, and I know my background looks a little bit different. Listen, before I came on, I was just thinking to myself sometimes you have to change locations so you can change perspectives. I had a little bit of a change in location. Good morning for those of you all who are going to join us live. I'm kind of limited with technical things. I'm on a quick turnaround vacation, so I don't have all of my everything. You know how it is. You have all your things set up. I don't have it of my everything. You know how it is, you have all your things set up. I don't have it all set up, but I'm feeling great. I'm so grateful that the Lord gave me the chance to see another day, and so I know that just being present. Sometimes, again, you have to shift your placement where you are so you can change your perspective, and so I just, I'm just in a mode of just being grateful.
Speaker 1:This morning I am having some technical difficulties on Facebook streets. I don't know what's going on, but for those of y'all who are watching from our prayer ministry, please make sure to share this video onto Facebook, into the ministry drop. And then, for those of y'all who are watching us on LinkedIn and you know, x, formerly known as Twitter. Maybe you're catching us on Paradec Live TV. Maybe you're listening to the podcast on one of the other channels at the end of the week, audible or iTunes or whatever right. Wherever you're getting this, wherever we're meeting each other, I'm so grateful again just be able to come before y'all and just kind of share from my heart what the Lord is teaching me. So, lord, I thank you that you have given me this opportunity. Thank you for this platform. I thank you for every person under the sound of my voice who's going to be blessed today from encouraging and inspirational words that come from you, come directly from your word, and, as we are looking to turn things around in June and we are moving into new things, many of us are expanding territory. Many of us are just changing our mindset. We're looking forward to what's coming through for the rest of this year. We're soaring and we want the best for ourselves and our families. So, lord, I pray that you'll use this word to encourage us so that we can be better, better people, better friends, better colleagues, better wives, better daughters, better partners and spouses, better people in our neighborhood all those things Understanding again that we were made for more than our situations, more than the lack that we might have right now. We're made for so much more, and so I ask that you'll use this word to center it into our hearts that very thing according to your word, amen, amen.
Speaker 1:All right, listen, I am going to do a quick bing bang, boom teaching this morning and I'm going to come out of Psalm 37, verses 23 to 24. So this is our Made for More series, and so this month we're just going to talk about how we were built. We were crafted by God, if you will, to really influence the world, our community, our family, our friends, right through what we do with our hands, our feet, our mouth and our heart. So we're coming from the biblical perspective. You know we're using scripture to break this thing down. So last week was week one. We talked about how our hands allow us to serve and to heal, and so today we're going to be talking about our feet, that we are destined to walk in greater faith. All right, so that's the context.
Speaker 1:Now I'm going to drop the scripture in our chat, in our comments section, and I'm just going to read this out. It's just easier for me to do this one. It's kind of short, y'all, so I won't share my screen. Usually I have to share my screen and read this out. But Psalm 37, verses 24 to 23,. Let me just fix this right quick. Y'all just bear with me. Bear with me, y'all Bear with me.
Speaker 1:But this is basically saying this the steps of a man are established by the Lord. Comma. When he delights in his way, though he fall, he may not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. The steps of a man are established, are established, are established. Why is this important? So let me share a couple of things, just breaking the word down for you and y'all, pay attention to me, don't overwrite, no typos, okay. So Psalm 37, lord, ask that you give us the spirit of revelation so we can be placed. Put us in your word concerning your will and your intention for our lives. Show us your will and your intention for our lives. The steps of a man are established by the Lord. That's the first thing.
Speaker 1:So, when we talk about the Lord establishing your steps, when you understand that where God placed you is where you're meant to be. First of all, I asked God, you know. Ask the Lord, you know. Put me where you want me to be, not where I want to be, where you want me to be. I want to be in alignment with what I've been crafted, built to do. I want to be in alignment with his greater will for my life. If I just think about you know, god, you know I just want to be where I'm going to be'm, placing myself in situation, putting myself where I don't belong. That's where you, that's where you run into trouble, where you feel like you know you ever you ever been in I mean I'll say this because I have a lot of people who watch this on LinkedIn being in a job where you feel like you're just never fulfilled not fulfilled not just financially. Good morning, faithful Tracy. Yeah, it's an hour, it's six o'clock, so I woke up early, early this morning, but here we go.
Speaker 1:So have you ever been in a situation where you feel like you know you were? You know, like you know in your gut, like you know in your we call it intuition but you know in your spirit that you were not meant to be there but you placed yourself there. Maybe you placed yourself there because of a need, like you needed a job, so you took a job and you're in that job, but that job was meant for a season, not a lifetime, right. And that job, for example, is not in alignment with what God wants for you. So you might've taken a six-figure job somewhere because you needed the job, or it was just something that you wanted, not needed, wanted right.
Speaker 1:And now that you're in this position, you just don't feel fulfilled. You're fulfilled in your very spirit. What it is that you're doing, you feel like, hey, I'm not getting any sense of fulfillment or joy like this. This is just not right. This is just not it right. Fulfillment or joy like this, this is just not right. This is just not it Right. Or maybe you've started a business. I'm going to step on toes. Maybe you started a business because you had a great business idea and yet that was not established by God, meaning he didn't put you there.
Speaker 1:So one of the things that I want y'all to think about, as we are again, we're in turnaround, we're turning things around, we're in a new season, believe it or not. We're in renewal mode, right, as we move through the rest of this year, one of the things I want you to think about is asking God where you are. You know, amen, tracy says. I pray for discernment in all things. Yeah, where you are, it's at the steps of a man. So where you are going, where you plant your feet or your steps, like where you're going, I ask the Lord like I want them to be. I want my steps, I want my path to be established by the Lord, because it opens a different level of blessings that come to you. It opens a different level of divine help that comes to you. It really does give you a different level of favor and grace when you are established.
Speaker 1:And when you are established, there is nothing on the face of this earth that can separate you from that, because God put you there. Listen, that's the truth. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy, but when you are, when you're established, when you're established in your calling, like, there is nothing that will separate me from the call that I have received, right. So the Lord gave me. I know what my calling is okay and I have received it. Lord, I want to walk in your will for my life. I want to do what you created me to do and I am established. So I will say you know, lord, establish me because I want everything, everything that you have for me, that's what I want, because I want to be in in alignment with your will for my life. Not what, not just what I want.
Speaker 1:The thing is, if we do that, it says comma when he delights. I'm going to put this verse back up says comma when he delights. I'm going to put this verse back up. This is what we're working on Psalm 37, 23. Psalm 37, 23.
Speaker 1:When the steps of a man are established by the Lord, when he delights in his way Now let me talk about this when he delights in his way. So now, where God puts you, where God puts you, I want you to really again for the rest of this year, y'all. Where God puts you, I want you to really again for the rest of this year, y'all. When he delights in his way means that you are content, you are pleased, you are happy where he puts you. When he's established you, you are happy with where he's put you. There is something about being grateful to God about where he's placed you. It gives you a garment of praise. It means that when the hard things come, because, just because he's established you right, maybe he's established you as an entrepreneur, a business owner, author, a speaker, you know. Maybe you're established in ministry. You know, whatever, whatever he's established, it means that you know when you delight. I'm happy about where God has me, I'm happy about how he's established me right and I take great care and I'm faithful to what he's given me to take care of right. And I delight in not just this path, my way, where he has me, but I also delight in his way, in God's way, where he's put me. I'm happy where God has me.
Speaker 1:So some of y'all again, as we're moving through the rest of the year, start asking the Lord. I want you to establish my steps. I want to be where you put me, not where I put myself. And this might be painful because when you ask the Lord to right-size some things, he's going to pull you out of some. It's going to be some discomfort so that you can get on the right track. Remember, we are soaring this year, right, you're soaring. We want to have this to be a most magnificent, blessed, anointed year, right, one that we are blessing and breakthrough for our families, not just for ourselves. Now, verse 24 says though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord opposes him. So, even if you stumble, even if things fall apart, even if things go haywire.
Speaker 1:I'm going to share something. This is personal, not even personal. This happened to me two days ago. We were in a 48 hour. It is Thursday. Ok, by the way, let me just remind you, because it is Thursday, we have a phone prayer line you'll need to call into every Thursday 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock, and if you're watching this on the YouTube streets or you know X or LinkedIn, you can see the number scrolling on the screen. But we have a phone line that you can call into Thursdays at 1 o'clock and 7 o'clock pm.
Speaker 1:Easter Standard Time. 30 minutes of prayer. Y'all come join us. All right, if you're on your lunch break at one o'clock or you things are going haywire on your job, you need to call. Call in, you know. You know, obviously it's private. Call in and we'll pray alongside with you.
Speaker 1:So Psalm 37, verse 24 says though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the Lord upholds his hand. So here's the personal thing I want to share with you. I'd never had this happen to me before, but yesterday morning I was woken up at four something in the morning. Get up and pray, and so I'm obedient to that. When the Holy Spirit leads me to get up and pray. So I got up but I looked at my phone, I pulled out my phone and I just, you know, I know he told me to just go check my email really quickly and I got this notification that I was being suspended on Facebook. I was like I never had that happen in my whole life. I don't even know what it means because I'm a blue check girl on Facebook.
Speaker 1:So I looked at it and I thought, okay, let me just get up and see what this thing is and be obedient to whatever they're telling me I need to do. So when you're suspended, you have to go on, and you have to in my case. I had to prove that I'm a person, because I think it was reported that I might be a bot. Okay, I don't. Again, this is for real. So when that happened, it was for something. So I did what they said, you know, put my face on the camera and I submitted the claim and I left it there. But it bothered me so much because I was like Lord, I'm on Facebook because you told me and will this impact the people we are feeding and serving through our ministry? The people we are feeding and serving through our ministry.
Speaker 1:So many, many months ago, so two years ago, when we set up this page, it was set up as private for Come Out of the Wilderness prayer ministry on Facebook. When we set it up, we set up as private, but he showed me who needed to be marked as administrators, the women who are trusted to run it. And what happened as I'm still waiting for this suspension to lift is what he was showing me is that I needed a moment away. I needed a moment where he, you know, yes, I'm established by the Lord, yes, I delight in his way, yes, I love what he's using me for right in this moment. This is a.
Speaker 1:Though I fall, I shall not be cast headlong. I will not be pitched into darkness. I will not lose hope because the Lord is upholding my hand. Not only is the Lord upholding my hand, he's sending people. There are people who are established because I'm established. They're established to continue to serve our community. So I can take a few days off. Bear with me now. I can take a few days off. I am still in alignment with the steps that he gave me. I'm still following. I'm still on track, I'm still on the right path.
Speaker 1:But because I was established by God, because this came from him and not me trying to pop up a mid-sphere, show up on LinkedIn, praying all the time right. Because this was established and I'm following his will for my life and his intent for my life and the way that he wants me to move through this life, because I'm in obedience with this, with him, I'm not pitching for, I'm not falling apart, I'm not casting headlong when stuff comes. When stuff comes and life is lifing, because the Lord upholds me, he strengthens me, so I'm not falling apart. I'm able now to step back and say, oh God, I thank you, for you know the couple of days it's going to give me to just be centered on you. Maybe there's something that I need, lord, as I, as I pivot, as I turn, maybe there's something that you need. So, if there's something you need me to see, if you just want my attention, if it's just us, you know.
Speaker 1:So what happens is when your steps are established, when you know in your heart that you are destined to walk, you're destined to walk greater faith. The way that you have greater faith is you have to go through things, you have to experience God. I can come on here all day long, y'all, and tell you about God, but you will never understand the God that I serve, lord Jesus, holy Spirit. You will never understand Yahweh the way that I do. You'll never understand Abba the way that I do. You will never have that kind of love and adoration for him until you experience him for yourself, until you experience God for yourself, and that builds up your faith. So to walk in greater faith comes from experiencing him.
Speaker 1:To walk in greater faith means that, yes, you are established. He's established your steps, he's put you in the places where you are right and you delight in where he has you. And when situations come along, you're not cast headlong, you're not falling apart, because the Lord is holding your hand. My hand, my hand, does things right. So we are made for so much more. So I pray that, wherever you go, your steps are established, you're established in the business you're in.
Speaker 1:Again, these are the prayers. Like you know, we don't just pop open the Bible and just grab our father. You have to understand how to speak the word into your life. Speak the word into your life so that thing can actually change. If you're still fighting the same battles and demons for the last 20 years come on. So Tracy's comment says when you go through the fire I'm going to pop this up for those who are, I'm going to read it out for those who are going to hear it when you go through the fire, you truly learn the breadth, depth, the width and the height of his love of you.
Speaker 1:Amen, I have a firm grasp of how much, just how much, he loves me. It doesn't even make sense. I'm a broken and chipped vessel, but he loves me so much, in the same way he loves you so much, right? So, father, I thank you for this message. I thank you for blessing us. I thank you for even allowing technology to work. I thank you for waking me up even at the right time, so I could be right in the right place, here, releasing your word.
Speaker 1:I thank you that it is you, lord, that you are marking us, you're establishing us. It's you that's putting us on the right path. For those of us who are off track, if we've fallen off track, if we're falling off the path, lord, we ask that you put us on track. You put us on the right path that you've designed for us, lord. God, we want to be in your will and, lord, we want to be delighting in where you have us and even give us just a heart full of joy.
Speaker 1:I pray that everyone who's listening will just have a heart full of joy and being grateful for where they are right now. Because even in this moment, even if it's not a moment that looks the best for us, where you're, you know, even in a moment of suffering, your grace is so amazing that, even if we are in a moment of suffering, as we're on our path, you are still such a gracious God that you provide for us. You will send manna of the day, you send divine help. You will have a doorway, a key. You'll give us the key to get out of our situation so we can get back on track. I ask that you bless everywhere we go.
Speaker 1:Today, I thank you for the expansion of territory. I thank you for everything that you're giving us this day, this month and this year so that we can continue to soar. We love you, lord, and I pray for every person under my breath who is standing in need of anything, whether it's physical, mental healing, anything that they stand in need of. But most of all, I pray for our souls, lord, god. I pray for our very spirits, that we'll be back in alignment with you, that we can hear from you clearly that you'll allow us to just come before you. This is so amazing that you allow us to come before you, horrible sinners as we are, that you allow us to come before you. That is just your grace, and so we're grateful. We're grateful for your love and your protection. We're grateful for all the favor that you're giving every person on the side of my voice and all the blessings to come. Amen, isn't he awesome.
Speaker 1:Listen, y'all, come on the prayer line. Thursday is today, it's every Thursday. There is no cost, you don't need to see. Just come on in and join us in prayer. I will be on that line Again. For those of y'all who are in the ministry watching on YouTube, please drop this on Facebook and drop it in the ministry. I'm still in Facebook jail, so please feed the people. Amen. As I take this amazing rest. Y'all, I didn't realize how much I needed it, but thank you, audrey, I see you on here. Tracy's on here Again. Thank y'all for holding me up. I did not realize how much I needed this break. I needed it y'all. So thank you for having me my back. Audrey and Tracy, thank you for looking out for me and bless every single person who watches us.
