her being here because she's moving away to atlanta and we've walked through some heavy times together she's walked through death and life with me she's been there for thick and thin times and i've been really wrestling with her leaving town and i didn't know if i could really handle because she's moving very quickly her family's moving even this week and i looked at her number and i started to call her i said no i'm gonna wait till after i minister and i'm a caller and tell her i was near your job hello and i want to see you before you leave town and move out of state and when i sat down i looked down and there she was best lady dead west i love you will you stand she's an awesome woman of god and the lord has opened some powerful doors for her in ministry but even professionally she

but also you that are in on the floor some of god's greatest people are not up here they're down there oh come on y'all come on some of us are getting ready to sit down because god has got a shifting going on and many of you that have been out there getting ready to be up here you better be ready when is it going to be my turn sooner than you think and i just celebrate all of you i don't take this assignment lightly i've been excited ever since dr lewis asked me to come and share and i i went to bed last night i could hardly sleep just waiting to hear from the lord because i don't trust myself to share anything with you i want a word from the word because i can tell you something and mess you up but if we hear it from god it will fix you up tell somebody i don't care how beautiful you look you need a fix fix-up [Applause] and i want you to join hands with your sister and your brother right now father in the name of jesus in this room are your sons and daughters and we've all gathered at this great 35th women's convention for an experience beyond any that we've ever had in you before god some of us will receive the word that we need through preached word through exhortations or through the song or talked word and there will be others that will get what they need from you in the parking lot some at a coffee table some will be rushing into an elevator and somebody will say one thing that will revolutionize their life forever god help us be mindful to know that we're all to become living in pistols and that we can be used to view at any moment not just with a mic and a pulpit but that you're using us as roommates at this convention and as we walk to and fro even to the sessions we honor your presence and your power in this room and we give you permission to let your kingdom come and your will be done on earth as it is in heaven put your power on display let your power be seen and felt in this house and we thank you in advance for the words that you will deliver in this room today we thank you in advance for those that will be saved that will be healed delivered and set free those that were discouraged how you will return their strength and in their strength give them their joy and we praise you for it in jesus name amen give somebody another big hug walk where you are and tell them i still love you thank you jesus i want you to turn with me to second timothy the third chapter verses one through seven from the time that i spoke to dr lewis i kept hearing this text and the lord solidified that he did want me to share part of this message from this text second timothy the third chapter verses one through seven could we all stand in honor of the word of god this know also that in the last days perilous times shall come for men shall be lovers of their own selves covetous bolsters proud blasphemers disobedient to parents unthankful unholy without natural affection truth breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good traitors heading high-minded lovers of pleasures more than lovers of god having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof from such turn away for of this sort of they which creep into houses and lead captive silly women laid with sins led away with divers lust ever learning and never coming able to come to the knowledge of the truth let us say amen for the reading of the word your subject if i'm not mistaken in your theme this weekend is spirit-filled women answering the end time call and that anointed woman shared so awesomely when she spoke to that you a bad girl and she blessed me as she ministered on that and i see why the lord took me the way he took me because she filled in that that he didn't give me isn't that wonderful and i thought about lord why would you have me deal with this text when you're talking about a call for end time women he said because i want you to share for a few minutes from the subject the end time woman some of you are focusing on the call and you haven't focused on yourself yet and until you focus on yourself you're not even going to be ready for the call oh it's tight now it's getting a little tight up in here i want to thank god for my husband too bishop andrew turner who i am here with his prayers and support and encouragement and many of the things that the lord has shared with me i talked to him about it first early this morning reverend and he just put things in order and prayed for me and let me know that although he was not here he was praying for me that means a lot girls that are in ministry if you in ministry and your husband doesn't want you in ministry tell somebody sister wanda says you're going to catch hell oh i got some holy ones from israel i'm sorry why do y'all go into shock with stuff preachers say that you say it's not just in the word but some of y'all say these things then when we said all the oxygen went out of the room if you were to look at these seven verses men becoming lovers of their own self people covetous and bolsters and proud and blasphemers and disobedient to parents and unthankful unholy without natural affection truth breakers false accusers incontinent fierce despisers of those that are good that struck me folks that just don't like you because you good and they don't even know you just don't like you because they see good in you trading folks and heady high-minded folks spending money they don't have buying clothes they can't afford to impress folks they don't know love is a pleasure more than lovers of god having a form of godliness but denying the power thereof that are in the body of christ that are operating in and out of the pulpit as trained flesh no anointing just trained to do it know how to sing and dip on a knee and get folks to holler but when they get through hollering nobody's deliberate oh god know just how to stand to look like you've been praying all night [Applause] train flesh he said if i'm such i want you to turn away don't even fool with them get away from them because those are the sort he said which creep into our houses and lead captive what kind of women [Applause] silly women laid with sins led away with divers lusts all kinds of lust tell your neighbor i know you familiar with them see let me encourage y'all something that ain't but a couple of verses in this bible to saints to sinners rather the ones that say repent get baptized be saved give your heart to the lord that's for the sinner the rest of this is for saints come on girls come on when they say stop lying that's talking to a saint sinners are supposed to lie because their daddy is the daddy of life when they say quit hormone that's to the saints a sinner is supposed to be a hormone oh y'all see y'all okay all right i'm gonna have to take you there a lot of y'all was upset when monica and president clinton's business got out in the street i wasn't upset about monica and president clinton they're not saved i'm upset about your business and reverend so-and-so monica can send her dress to her mama and her mama can save it they're supposed to do that but what concerns me is when women in the kingdom play that stuff oh god oh god oh god see y'all if you hadn't sent that spirit up here i wouldn't with that that wasn't in my notes he said because those kind of people are gonna have my people in the kingdom ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth do you ever have any relatives in your family and they're 38 and they still in college taking the undergrad program forever changing their major never graduating studying art one year music than that two years later you thought you was getting invitation to graduation and it's a card saying can you help me with some more tuition god told me to study history now before they finish history god told him to study law then he flipped back to english well i think i'll go all the way back to art that i started out with in 1969 that's a person ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth we've got some people in the body of christ ever learning can quote scriptures can win the bible bowl every year but can't win it in their life oh god have never become a living epistle living word folks are not reading the bible anymore they're reading your life what do they see when they read you [Applause] so i said lord these end times speak of people places and things that can and will have a negative effect on our lives if we're not prepared and empowered i mean this is a treacherous group of people listed here this is horrible to even be sitting by somebody with any of this stuff in them clear your throat and look at your neighbors because an end time woman is one that has to live a life attended by or involving the possibility of injury folks that are in this chapter can hurt you oh you don't want to be honest so nobody can hurt me it's just me and jesus the fact that you walk around with just you and jesus lets me know you hurt because hurt people will put walls up to try to keep you from getting to them but what they don't know the walls that they put up to keep you from them keep you keep them from you also oh god i don't need a man you lying i don't need a man myself i don't need nobody just me and jesus yeah that's why you hooked on pornography because you don't need a man oh it's quiet now where are we the baptist conference what methodist where are we where are we an end time woman lives a life that's threatened by the involving the possibility of injury pain or loss because she is one that recognizes that end times are dangerous time tell somebody these last days are dangerous days end times are chancy times they're hazardous times they're risky times they're treacherous times they are unhealthy times they're on sound time they're wicked times nowadays we have to teach you in the body of christ not to commit fornication because it just displeases god but because it could kill you you need to understand when you sleep with somebody women you don't just sleep with them but you sleep with everybody they've slept with that's why you need to ask for a sexual resume you need to take time to say wait a minute who you been with when was the last time you was with them and did you ever crisscross [Applause] it's quiet now it's quiet now god being omnipotent and god being omniscient all-powerful all-knowing knew that this would be a risky wicked unsound healthy season for believers to live in and yet he allowed you and i to be born in this season to reside and to exist and to live during this perilous season for in fact such a time as this he knew that we would have to have some proper tools and equipment to survive this season further he knew that what we don't possess individually would be in the mix corporately because as in your theme text found in matthews 25 1-9 there's five wise and five foolish tell somebody we got fifty percent wise and fifty percent of us are foolish one two three four five why one two three four five you say it one two three four five why one two three four five you said oh go with me quickly to your theme matthew 25th chapter i'm having fun in the holy ghost aren't you [Applause] one such was looking at me like where did y'all get this nut [Applause] straight from the arms of god that's where i came from i don't even apologize no more god told me he said i fashioned your personality for the season that you exist in because you're gonna have to talk about some uncomfortable things and some uncomfortable places and some uncomfortable people and i'm gonna have you use humor because if you didn't you it would break your heart to even share it so i don't care i'll be a nut tell your neighbor you wish you made what that nut made glory to god one pastor told me you know we can't pay you i say you can try thank you jesus oh see i got i got a group in here now the oxygen is leaving out again superintendent stay with me stay with me matthew 25 one through nine let's look at that then shall the kingdom of heaven be like and under ten virgins which took their laps and went forth to meet the bridegroom five of them were wise and five were silly i mean foolish they that were silly foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps while the bridegroom terry they all slumbered and slept and at midnight there was a cry made behold the bridegroom coming going out to meet him then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamp and the foolish said unto the wise give us of your oil for our lamps are going out but the wise answered not so lest there be not enough for us and you but go ye rather to them that sell and buy for yourself here we see ten virgins all of them untouched by sin all of them untouched by lusts isn't that a virgin usually untouched by greed untouched by evil wise and foolish all of them are in this ninth verse all of them are untouched look at look down your world say we untouched the spirit of god has conceived us and we're untouched what we've always commended the wise women of this text and mock the foolish woman of this text today i want to confront the wise woman of this text that's sitting in this room today and tell you that in these end times you need to be more than wise all right now you're going to get upset with me so go to grinning so we won't know it's you you need also to learn how to be charitable and benevolent you need to go beyond your wisdom and conduct and wise conduct and be willing to share your wisdom your knowledge and resources with your sisters that don't yet possess what you now have oh god oh god if you were charitable and also benevolent you could change verses 10 11 and 12 of this text by sharing your oil your riches your information your prayer your comfort your wisdom your resources with your sister the foolish one she's a virgin just like you she's holy just like you she just without she's not wicked she's foolish she's deficient in intelligent but she's not wicked she's simple but she's not wicked she's brainless it seems but she's not wicked she's mindless but she's not wicked she's silly but she's not wicked she's soft but she not wicked your sister that feels ridiculous because she has not exhibited good or conventional sense or good or conventional church adequate she don't know how to wear nylons to church yet she don't know she needs a hat war drug to be accepted by you on sunday she don't know how to sing yes before she preach [Applause] oh come on touching on your idol come on now come on she's not wicked she just don't know she came out of the world where anything went and came in the church and she didn't know that the rules changed so when the brothers in the church hit on her because you weren't wise enough to tell her baby the rules have changed she responded to the hit you called her a she ain't a she just not wise she not wise a lot of us are mislabeled people oh you remember when they brought that woman that committed adultery to jesus the thing that struck me they said we have found her in adultery how did her have adultery by herself where was he i know he's at home taking a shower getting ready to go stand at the door on sunday god oh god you don't like me a wise woman when her sister is even caught in adultery will do what jesus done jesus took his finger and wrote in the dirt why did he write in the dirt because he knew he was going to blow the winds of grace and mercy and erase what he wrote i want you to look at your neighbor and say quit looking and chasing dirt that god has already erased oh y'all don't like this you don't like this but if you'd really listen you'd get free because some of you god has forgiven you the church them forgave you your husband and children but you still chasing the dirt of the sin that has been blown away you got to stand up right now and say god help me forgive myself everybody in here cover one another and stand and say jesus help me forgive myself some stuff you'll never be able to find it it's blown away jesus the foolish the fullest version she's observed she's crazy she's fantastic she is fanatical she's insane she's preposterous but she's not wicked she just don't know and you wise woman you have the ability to take some of your oil not all of your not all of your oil just some of your oil just enough to wet her wick at the top of her left so that she can see her way to the master you don't have to give her all you got just enough to help your sister find jesus wise woman could you step further and become a giving caring woman help the foolish sister make it too [Applause] but i know part of the problem i can't help you make it until i know who i am and find out that i'm making it oh god oh god go with me real quickly and we're going to deal with the subject of who are you look in um genesis ii chapter verse 18. now sister roche you and robin when i hit 20 minutes i want y'all to go to shouting and running and junking and just speaking in time they're going to say my god the girl is preaching no they going to be saying my god sit down y'all gonna keep time from give me 20 minutes and god said it is not good that man should be alone i will make him a helpmate for him who are you woman of the end time who are you are the first solution to the first problem in the universe you are the first hero or the first shero sent to rescue man from his incompleteness magnificent was your creation it was like nothing else in heaven or on earth you're the only thing made whose need was declared by god before you were formed oh god so important is that distinction that god won't even give eve to adam until he understood his need for her he waited until adam had named every beast and bird and then saw that he was alone the scripture says there was not found a help meet for him in genesis 2 and 20. imagine adam at first excited as each set of animals is brought before him the ram and the you the cow the bull the peacock and the elephant and all the birds but as the last two creatures male and female received their names and scared and galloped or flew off it became clear that something was dreadfully wrong where was his his what he desired her and yet he could not say so because she did not yet exist jesus so god calls adam to sleep and when he woke up god brought him e and like god and whose image he was made adam declared his need for eve before he named her he said this is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh she shall be called woman i listened to dr lewis when she first began to introduce me and she said dr wanda davis turner that's not my name no mo my name is dr wanda turner wanda ann turner because i found out what a man names a man claims and what a man claims he protects and provides so in december my christmas present to my husband wasn't something that you could buy with money it was a set of business cards it was a set of social security card a new license and all my credit cards changed from one to davis turner to one to turner god my god oh y'all don't like that because some of you get married now and you keep your mate name and then you want to know why he ain't naming and claiming you there's been a new naming and claiming up in my house ever since i became turner the man give me spending money it ain't that i need him to give it to me and yet i do i see y'all don't like me some things are not physical or financial they're emotional i need him to take that money back out data and say what you need girl yesterday i stopped by the office and he said would you like me to treat me to not treat you less i said yes sir and could you also treat me to my nails and my toes he went in and rolled that money i said thank you very much why because he named me so now he claims me and all of the responsibility for me oh god now quite a few years later after adam and eve came on the scene and he was developed you were among you sitting here today were among the 120 women who waited in the upper room our sister touched on it jesus had just boarded a cloud bound for heaven and all of you watched him go and then watch the sky when you couldn't see him anymore but his promise rang in every ear and lingered at every heart but ye shall have power after that the holy ghost has come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me in jerusalem judea samaria unto the most part of the earth and so you waited and you did indeed receive power now when you got that power it wasn't the same that's talent it wasn't to be the tambourine and keep beat that's rhythm power goes beyond what you're able to do of your own learning and training and discipline oh god the question is you did receive power from the lord when you received the holy ghost but what do you plan to do with it when the holy ghost fell at pentecost he fell on you woman of god you sisters in christ you prayed and praised and pressed your way along with peter james and john and the rest and the prophet joel didn't leave you out he said and it shall come to pass in the last days it is again end time that i will pour out my spirit upon all flesh all flesh included your flesh you were among the servants of god who would prophesy and who would dream and see signs and wonders woman is as much part of the god's master plan and purpose as man why then are we so reluctant to claim our god-given power when did power become a masculine concept where does the scripture say that the woman who's to be treated as the weaker vessel possesses a weaker spirit let me give you an example of being treated as a weaker vessel you know physically most of us have the strength to open our door and get out on our own but if you're going to be treated as a weaker vessel sit there in that car till he get out and open the door and if he goes in church and don't remember you till they do the benediction still be sitting outside waiting not because you are weaker but you are as the weaker [Music] some of y'all just too smart and too wise for your own good some of you are already were established financially when you got married and you already had financial resources or she had a job and was soon to have them but when you get married you got to go you got to be smart enough to be dumb enough to let a man take care of you we first got married bishop turner didn't know who i was financially he said uh will you want to take care of the bills this month make out the checks i said how how i do that now y'all know i was running a church in the organization cutting checks i could handle a budget but i had to become as nothing so he could be the something that i needed him to be so that those times when i don't want to do it i ain't got to and i don't need i don't need him for nothing yes you do [Applause] within the bible you will see and meet some very powerful women they married they singled they divorced their mothers their daughters their sisters the ladies the widows they beautiful they bruised broken victorious mistake making moving shaking green grown lonely laughing striving surviving powerful women tell somebody sound like us and in case you didn't guess it you are among them your divine destiny is to be a woman of power you are a powerful woman of god not because you might be married to a man of power though some of you are married to great men and it's not because you have power on your job or in your home either though some of you do carry such authority it isn't even because you sing or pray or teach powerfully at your church no my sister your steps were sovereignly ordered to bring you into a life of infinite power simply because you belong to god he made you so that he could dwell in you the fullness of his glory when people see you they say she god when's the last time somebody saw you and accused you of being a christian and the charges could stick you are called appointed and anointed to be a woman behind power that power being the unlimited the unshakeable the unstoppable the unbreakable spirit of your father in heaven when god stepped out on nothing and declared it something then spoke something into some things that was power when dark became light and light became power color color became formed that was power when quiet birthed a song and song birth sound birth rather when quiet burst sound and sound birth to song and song praised him that was power when he told the sea to back up because he wanted to see the land he'd made that was power and when he gathered up a handful of dust and made a man then gathered up a handful of man and made a woman that was power but when he took some of his own power and sent his son here to live die and be resurrected he made his power available for you you and you and me it was always god's plan for you to have power genesis 1 28 said god blessed them the man and the woman and told them be fruitful and multiply that's not to have a bunch of children looking like you and your husband that's to have a bunch of children that look like jesus and replenish the earth and subdue it he told them to have dominion over every living thing that moved upon the earth somewhere between the garden and the new millennium too many people got the wrong idea that power was merely the ability or the authority to control to command to conform or correct people or circumstances somewhere along the way power stopped being about giving and started being about taking sin corrupted power and dominion became domination and submission became subjugation and humility became shame and expectation became entitlement today power is measured in visibility today power is measured in accountability and viability and responsibility are you big are you bad are you rich are you the boss and if you can answer one to all of those questions even just one then according to the world they would say you have power but more accurately you have the world's power and that spirit is even crept into the church you see pastors walk up hitch their pants up and look at one another say how many are you running doc and doc will say two hoping you'll think it's two thousand but he know is two hundred if the mother that's sick get out and show up next week [Applause] oh god you don't even know if your church is not into the thousands it could be because your pastor is a specialist oh general practitioners in medicine have a lot of patience because they take care of colds and flu and i stuff my toe and i broke something so they might see 60 patients a day to make the same money that one neurologist would make in one visit because a specialist takes care of special projects and they don't see as many people don't you get don't you watch tv and get caught up with what you see on tv and think your church ain't about nothing you might be a specialist your church might specialize in deliverance getting people off drugs oh come on come on come on come on and when pastors specialize in deliverance they can't pass to thousands [Applause] now when you have world power world power can get you pretty far you don't believe it ask ted turner and bill gates and the oprah's of this world ask the athletes and the actors and and the actresses who step ahead of you at exclusive restaurants the world power does have its privileges but it also has its problems as the politician who cut the funding for the after-school program at your child's school ask the boss's unqualified nephew who just got promoted over you that's the drug dealer's mother who's looking the other way to get the rent paid but you're not called to desire to pursue or demand the world's power your goal and the goal of your life should be to unveil and understand and then unleash god's power in your life the power that you're heir to is not simply the power to subdue or dominate it is the power to become a new creature and inspire that same desire in others somebody in your family ought to say some sunday i want to be saved because you're safe you shouldn't have to bribe your companion and bribe your children to come to church on easter i buy you a suit if you come everybody bring their family don't make me look bad show up it is the power that god wants you to have to overcome the pain and bitterness of your past the power you have access to is the power to change the way you see the world and the way the world sees you folks ought to meet you seven years ago and run into you today and say something different about you there's the power to behold understanding to grow this power doesn't grow or diminish with your bank balance or favorite age i am most powerful when i am most broke because having money does not mean you're gonna get everything you want you see this woman could have the car i want to buy and i may have the money she wants for the car but if she don't like me she can tell me and my money no but if i have power in god which comes back as favor then i can have no money to buy that car and she give it to me is that what god told you to do sugarloaf because that kind of power doesn't disappear if you get laid off or when your children act up it's real power and it's yours for the asking because real power is the ability and the authority to recognize or reveal god every second of your life you ought to be seeing god or revealing god you ain't got time to raise hell and back bite and cuss and get into clicks and claps all around the church and chase somebody's cousin and bobbing them uncle and running after june bug you haven't got time for that you got to either be showing the power of god or revealing it i can't talk about dr lewis to lady prince and be showing god's power at the same time you can't leave this service and go in the bathroom and talk about this little girl from the country [Music] did you hear that nut up there who brought her here we got people can preach circles around here yes they may but right now i got power i have favor there women all over the world can out preach me they can go and they can do all of that i can't harm i can't sing but i have favor with god and he takes me places i never dreamed of to speak words i've never heard before because of power with god [Applause] what do you do when are fully aware that as a christian woman a mother friend worker minister wife and sister that you should be in a place where in your power you're learning to study to be quiet and to love those that despitefully use you and forgive the unforgivable but instead find that your angry uptight cantankerous evil mean jealous promiscuous lazy cruel controlling manipulative and boisterous what do you do when you really want to walk in the spirit but keep bumping into your flesh and his dictates what do you do when you really want to walk by faith and not by sight but you're so full of fear and worry and doubt that you don't know what to believe what do you do when you know that you should love your enemies right now you can't even stand the sight of your friends what do you do when you discover that wow you were once so financially blessed that you could lend to the poor now you feel so cursed because you can't even qualify for alone yourself what do you do when you know you should be teaching other women to be sober but you're silly high and drunk you should be telling other women to love their husbands but instead you're telling them to walk out because you're not happy on your own marriage right now you know that you should be teaching others to love train and discipline their children but you are aborting and abusing your children what should you do when you should be telling other women to become discreet and of a sound mind and self-control and sober-minded but you yourself will become wild and wavered and actually crazy with pain and heart ice how do you exhaus other women to be chased and celibate and yet you have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity when do you seek help for yourself because while you tell other women to become keepers at home you become idol with no purpose or destiny you wonder from house to house gossiping and tattling a busy body speaking things which you ought not says first timothy 5 13 through the mouth of paul when we should be teaching young and women to marry and to bear children and guide their house and give no occasion to the adversary we become so resentful and so turned off to men and marriage that we seek the company of females for social and sometimes sexual pleasure how do you explain that you know you're not a lesbian and you know you're not bisexual but you're so hurt so angry so hostile and disgusted that you no longer want relationship with men so you build walls to protect yourself from any and all men how do you keep yourself from allowing your own gall to poison the hearts of your daughters against men or keep from turning your sons into the men that you yourself despise i'm talking to the end time woman today bitterness that astrid lingering troubling disease of the heart is the greatest obstacle to realizing the fullness of god's power in us women in these end times bitterness is that intense distasteful and afflicting mixture of disappointment and anger and loneliness and fear and blame that causes us to weep when others rejoice and rejoice when others weep bitterness saps our moisture and smothers our hope if we allow it it will take root in us it will choke the breath out of everything joyful and peaceful and a life producing in us bitterness will cause the sweet fragrance of the true worship to become a stench in the nostrils of the almighty most importantly bitterness will rob us of the ability and the authority to recognize and reveal god bitterness of not check will leave and render us powerless in the kingdom i was talking about this with my daughter in the lord antoinette that traveled with me out here last evening and she gave me an awesome definition for the acronym bitterness i want to share it she says battery intensified terminal torment endangering relationships needed energy that satan stimulates when you give yourself over to bitterness you give yourself over to satan to use you to manipulate and control you and to take you out of your destiny in god and keep you stuck in your history in your life some women can't go forward in new relationships because you're still looking at what happened to you yesterday the greatest enemy of the old is of the new is the old the greatest enemy of your destiny is your history at some point you got to turn around and say the bitterness goodbye baby i'm on my way somewhere better bitterness is one of satan's most effective weapons against us because it makes us powerless from the inside out so that by the time anyone sees bitterness in our behaviors its roots are already squeezing the life from our hearts moreover it usually shows up as anger or pride or sarcasm or hostility anything except what it really is so it alienates from loved ones and cuts us off from avenues of help when we're often too weak or unwilling to help ourselves once we find ourselves alone satan uses our bitterness to turn us against god we start blaming him so we stop praying and praising cutting off the source of our power and therefore separating us from our deliverance so we've gotten angry with god because he changed your itinerary and changed your resume and told you i want you to come away from that and stop doing that and you got mad and quit going to prayer oh i remember judge eight years ago i was seeing a man as a widow that was a physician i liked a man he wasn't too ugly had his own money and he seemed to love god you know that's a criteria don't be ugly don't be broke and don't not love god y'all trying to sit up here no there's any way you bless me lord no you don't want to anyway you bless me man no baby girl you don't want that in the midst of dating that man the spirit of the lord woke me up one morning after the man had flew me to alabama to meet his mom and daddy my church didn't even know we went down there privately you know how you do yeah we got on that plane he came back that sunday nobody had known i left that saturday that monday morning the holy ghost woke me up lady prince he said whatever you think you have with that man break it up i said what show him up i'm getting ready to get a rain he said no you're not he is not my will for your life whatever you think you have break it off i had a choice to obey and become better or become bitter i chose even though my heart was broke i was weeping and while and i was disappointed but i chose to obey god within two hours i broke the relationship off this year eight years later to the exact date that my first husband died that doctor dropped dead drove himself to cedars hospital and dropped dead within six hours god said you was crying you was complaining because i said break it off but i knew back in 1993 that in 2001 on the same day of the month the 16th that man was gonna die so to spare you of walking that way twice i snatched you out god is not the one that you should be upset with he knows something you don't know when they ask me are you coming to the funeral we would just love you to emcee i said i can't come because god said way back in 94 whatever you think you have with him break it off so i couldn't even go and see the man be buried i said i'm praying for you [Applause] and after i hung the phone up i got on my face and i said god thank you thank you for loving me thank you for breaking my heart to spare me thank you for taking for me what i thought i wanted and a lot of you have gotten what you wanted but once you got what you wanted you don't want what you got [Applause] can we win over bitterness we can and we must not just for our sake but for those around us hebrews 12 and 15 says many are they fire when we allow bitterness to spring up within us you've seen that timid holiday child walking on eggshells around his bitter mother you know that nervous secretary with the bitter boss you felt the sting of that single girlfriend who snapped at you when you tried to tell her how sweet your husband was the other day can we change the subject some of us ain't blessed as you are that's the way bitter talks because bitter teaches and kills a child's curiosity bitter preaches and produces anger jealousy covers to sheep bitter is a police and is brutal at home and on the job bitter is a politician that corrupts the system bitter is a doctor that treats pocket books not patience i got to go all the way god almost say it bitter is a prophet that's after the pocketbook return rather than hearing clearly from god to tell you what god's saying so to give me everybody in here give me five hundred dollars i'll tell you all to sing with them stand it doesn't say the lord give me five hundred dollars by december you're gonna have a husband that is never gonna happen there's a couple of reasons why every single woman in here is not gonna have a husband single girls please stand all those that are single don't lie to the whole goal this is just a drop in the bucket of the single women in your district and there's always more single women now i want the women to sit out if there's any single men in here stand up 300 to one that's a perfect example of why all of you ain't getting married it ain't been one man to the 300 of you and then the other reason some of you can't get married because some men that are men don't want to be a man y'all don't even like to go there [Applause] and every man that's in the homosexuality is not in the choir i'm gonna help you out he ain't on the organ that's a real brother right there i can tell by the way he tied his tie see y'all y'all think they all just in the choir honey there are some men that are bisexual that play football oh y'all don't want me to just give up all the information do you there's some men that are robust honey and musty with robustness if you to become a woman who walks in power you got to learn to recognize and overcome and protect yourself from bitterness and the fruit that it produces god is looking for women in the end time willing to receive and reproduce his power in their lives in your homes and on your jobs and throughout the world his word must be get rid of your bitterness when you get rid of your business the way you get rid of weeds in a guard you don't just pull up what you can see you got to dig up the roots at the root of every bitter thing in our heart is one of three lies that the enemy has told you about god one god don't understand my problem two he has left me to deal with it alone three he can't do anything about my problem the first lie makes us feel isolated the second lie makes us feel forsaken the third lie makes us feel hopeless together these lies conspire to make us feel frustrated and angry with the promises of god and that's what produces bitterness it's not the man that left you is that god knew the man left you and then stop him that made you angry oh come on come on if god was all of that why did he why did he let me get in the wreck because food when you get your settlement you're going from uh from debt to debt free he let your little raggedy car get hit let you break your knee so you can get 150 000 and pay off that 90 000 debt give 30 000 to the church put up ten thousand look at you you're debt-free from one accident [Applause] oh god i got lost on the freeway coming from l.a twice last night you know why i got lost because god wanted to get me a bumped up room and wasn't a room ready to bump me up i had to be late get lost get on two freeways i'm from here you know i know how to get to burbank i was embarrassed before the sister was in the car i was like help me help me what happened to five north but i had to be late sister prince because there was a corporate man and woman in a room that checked out at nine o'clock when i'm standing at the front desk after we joined hands with the clerk at the desk and released the room and they checked out at nine and said the room will be ready at 9 30. you you thought the devil sit down i don't see y'all you thought [Applause] you thought the devil messed with you and got you lost and it was god walking you into the hotel just in time to get the room in my closing how does one deal with bitterness you deal with bitterness the way god deals with it god is up missing he know all things about all people and yet he says if you confess your sin i'm just and faithful to forgive you i'll put your sin in the sea of forgetfulness and remember it no more how does a god forget your sin and yet he knows everything at all times i asked god about that he said i do it because i choose to he said tell the women in the body of christ you can forget too when you choose to oh oh you can forget and once you can forget it and don't remember it the way it happened you can forgive it tell somebody we got some decisions to make none of the forgiving and the forgetting can take place until we go to romans the 12th chapter verse 1 and 2. i'll share this and i'm going to sit down i beseech you therefore brethren by the mercies of god that you present yourself a living sacrifice holy acceptable unto god which is your reasonable service and then he says something that's a little more difficult to do and be not conformed to this world don't even try to be like the world don't try to look like them don't try to reason like that don't try to walk like them don't try to talk like them that's why i have gotten delivered to people i don't care what y'all think the fact that you still care about how i present myself and how i'm looking and how i'm presenting lets me know you're part of the world system you should be saying she crazy but she annoying it instead you say girl she's so crazy i couldn't see god for laughing you fool you got healed when you laughed the laughter that was released into your life will bring your husband home if you go home still laughing but that's why he left some of you because you stopped laughing you let life get too serious when is the last time you laughed see y'all going to make me testify bishop and i had went through a little intense issue and it had continued a few days well let me be honest a few weeks and finally one night i said god i give it to you you know that real show now before then i was just talking trash what that night i said god i give it to you and it was on a friday night in a hotel out of town ministering to somebody else's people that i gave it to the lord the next morning bishop arrived and he was a whole another person when i was looking dead i was like is this you or shall we look for another and i said to him he said you received a little puzzle i said sir you're looking so happy and so peaceful and you're so passionate you're scaring me he said haven't you been praying i said well yeah he said well god answered your prayer i went in the bathroom i didn't want him to see me terry i said god wasn't that simple he said it's that simple some of us are asking god for stuff and when he do the thing then we can't hardly believe that he did the thing honey i was in that bathroom i said god help my unbelief help my unbelief if you didn't turn this thing around and we don't need to talk about it no more i'm going out of here forget them things which behind me and i'm going for it but behold you gonna do a new thing sprayed on some new colognes and came on out ready for the new thing ow ladies if you were honest most of our issues even those with our sisters in the sisterhood are based around relationships we have or don't have with men you need to tell the truth the pastor pinned a flower on her when she was over to usher day and i was over the youth day he didn't pin no flower over me from that on up y'all know we can just get crazy the pastor had so much on his mind he even he didn't even remember it was a youth day if that is so important to you buy your own flower set it in his chair and say pin this on me today man ain't got time to worry about pinning a flower on you and he trying to hear from god to rescue souls from hell he got couples that are in divorce court he got kids being arrested you taught my i'm leaving the church because pastor didn't pin a flower [Applause] i gave five thousand dollars in time and he didn't call my neighbor but she gave thousand one dollar they stood up who did you give the tithes to they are to him oh god [Applause] if you really want to be set free in these end times woman of the end time we must have a renewal of our mind be not conformed to the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind it is in fact necessary if our hearts gonna be healed and made whole let this mind be in you which was also in christ jesus you know why he had to say that because we don't automatically have his mind even when we get his spirit our spirit gets filled not our mind that's why that song looked to my hand they look new look at my feet they did your feet is the same feet with the bunions you had oh you got the holy ghost ain't nothing changed but your spirit and sometimes when you get the mind of christ you'll almost start living a life that's like an oxymoron jesus says give to receive we say keep what you got if you want something jesus says love them that hate you we say you hate me i'm gonna pay you back i'm gonna hate you jesus says forgive them to despitefully use you you say you use me i'll use you come on i know ain't holy one talk to me girl jesus says settle the issue of lust and fornication with marriage and sometimes the man want to marry you they have sat in my office with the man and the woman said i don't want him shoot he ain't got enough money i said you fool he had enough of you to sleep with him why didn't you check his his financial history before you lay down with him you got a baby coming now you're sitting in the house of god telling me the man said he want to marry you you say you don't well you living out bible prophecy in the old testament says six women will grab one man and y'all grabbing them every chance you can i don't i don't need no husband i got my own money i just need a little something every now and then don't sell yourself cheap don't do that don't do that jesus says hate sin and love the sinner but what do we do we hate the center and love to sin oh y'all go make me tell on you if you found out that i was addicted to partner pornography you would tell dr barbara lewis to call my husband called the bishops call a meeting and put me out y'all would have that meeting before i left town i couldn't even get on the plane you all be all at the airline don't let her own she's a she's in pornography old sinner y'all know you would but you know what god told me he said tell my women to look at the woman with the issue of blood said a certain woman had the issue of blood 12 years he said one to tell me what was the saints that were standing around jesus doing when that announcement was made what was j rose to ruler doing what was the disciples doing i said well they wasn't doing nothing he said that's what i want the church to do when an issue is revealed in a person's life do nothing because the opposite of ignoring it is noticing it and in the greek to notice is to seize judge arrest and sentence it and you will judge seize arrest and sentence the issue and the person with the issue before they can touch jesus let me break it down if i'm in adultery you can call a meet and silence me for 12 months tell me you can't preach set your leg behind be there with the mother's boy come the prayer fast three days a week but if you don't let me touch jesus the only one that can deliver me when the 12 months is gone i'll come back get in the choir get to preaching missionary ushering teaching sunday school and go right back to whoring because you didn't let me touch him [Applause] it's radical it's radical but it's biblical and a certain woman had an issue of blood 12 years nobody did nothing to her but step back and let her touch jesus look at your neighbor and say i know you got an issue too tell me i even got too fast to see it i have discerned and i'm looking at your issue but you know what i'm going to ignore your issue because i got one bigger or worse than your issue and i need to touch jesus for myself tell them if you let me touch jesus i'll let you touch jesus why don't we just give each other permission to touch him how do you touch jesus you touch him with prayer you touch him with praise you're touching with worship you touch him with repentance you touch him with your tears you touch him with sacrificial giving i wonder are there any women of the end times in this place that are ready to give yourself permission to change it's been proven medically that men even physically can change faster than women on any weight loss program men can lose faster than a woman why because of their metabolism and their mindset and in us is something in us we got a wound that says take it in and hold it something internally won't allow us to change as quick as men that's why even in relationships we as women remember things longer and better than men we hang on the details the dates the time the people i had on a red blouse when she said and she was rolling her eye and we were standing out by the postcard and it was the night of the convocation we were downtown in l.a i remember it girl it was june 24 1973 i ain't forgot it the man did you upset with then married somebody else got five kids and three grandchildren he don't even remember your middle name and you still stuck on yesterday can't move forward men let things go and we say they lying but they're not lying when they don't remember they have let it go reformation of the mind the decisions they make to turn loose theirs is at a different rate of exchange than us unless we have a reformation of the mind also ladies men can make up their mind to turn loose hogging dogs and they turn it loose they can make up their mind to turn loose anger and they do they make up their mind to turn loose fear worry and doubt and when they do they turn it loose but because we are made with wounds we carry not realizing that things that are deformed maimed or defected are to be miscarried god don't want you carrying anger and fear and worry and doubt and unbelief and lies and bitterness and murder and jealousy to full season he wants us to abort and abort it naturally with a spiritual miscarriage called transformation of the mind tell somebody you're going to have a miscarriage today when we stop our trips to the freezer of anger the refrigerator of unforgiveness the chocolates of bitterness the shopping mall of greed the pies and cakes of jealousy the cookie of murder the m m's of gossip and the chips potato and fritos of lies then we start losing ungodly weight we learn to lay aside every weight and the sin which those so easily beset us and run with you patience to let god change us on the inside by changing what we put on the inside we got to do redo our spiritual metabolism fool the devil get rid of the stuff that adds to your pain your hurt and anger leave it in this hotel leave it in this room don't even take it to your hotel room drop it today don't take it back to your church don't get on the bus and travel with it if i'm talking to anybody by the power of god and you know you got some stuff you need to drop it might be weight or sin meet me at this altar real quick and as you run with your hands up god said he's going to remove it you're moving too slow now you can't be the holy one of israel and get what you need at the same time come with your hands up telling god i'm ready to drop it push all the way up push push push some of you on the on the platform didn't meet me down here because of some of the stuff in you is the reason they messed up down here because you have transferred it from you down here just can't seem to push forward just can't seem to let it go tell the devil you're a lie today i'm getting rid of this and it starts with a decision i choose to get rid of it i choose to let it go that was then this is now i can't um do it i can't relive it it's over everybody can praise that has breath because they let everything that happen praise the lord so you don't have to be saved you don't have to be a person of truth of integrity or character to praise but those that worship must worship in spirit and in truth and the spirit of the living god is in this room right now and truth has been released in this house it's been released to your house and you can make a decision god you know what i'll go worship you it won't even take you long the highest level of worship has been when you've seen men and women in the bible bow before god when you go down before god you are dropping everything on you saying everything in me and on me is less than the power of god that's in front of me and when you bow down before god when you get back up that that you bowed has fallen off and it's down there leave it there i want some of you not to praise him not to jump on me down and scream to worship him just take about 15 to 30 seconds and see who god really is go shabba the one that hung the universe in space is hanging you right now shibuya the one that created and made you fearfully and wonderfully is with you right now the one that has seen everything that has happened in your life he's in the room right now and he had you here because he knows that if you do not let it go it's going to affect your health and take you out of here too soon but today you can tell the devil goodbye to your mess yes i choose jesus and i want you just to bow in your own way just drop and bow before jesus right now just bow just bow just bow just by hold on turn it loose those of you out there want you to stand and go to praising god until god finishes with them my god my god [Applause] my god my god turn it loose bend over bend over physically baby that's it sister purple dress bend over physically [Applause] help them because sometimes it's just to break it sometimes you've been so stuck in your pain you can't even physically move somebody that knows that you are anointed of god go stand with them and tell them i'll hold you while you've been here go help them over there [Music] god remove the very root of that bitterness i speak to the very spirit of bitterness that has prevented them from being the awesome end time woman that you say you know they are come on come on come on it's not going the way the devil is saying it's going the way that god says when god frees you you will free your daughters and you will free your friends and your brothers and your mates [Applause] my god my god my god my god somebody shout i'm an anti-woman [Music] i can make it in spite of these perilous times because i'm not gonna be bitter i'm gonna get this up off of me you precious women that as i act of faith follow the instructions i want to tell you that the word says believe in the prophet and prosper because you trusted the word of faith that i released over your life i speak victory and deliverance you will never be the same you will no longer be tormented by those thoughts when you try to go to sleep at night and when you wake up and when you're driving and sit quietly by yourself i speak to the powers of satan i dismiss them in the name of the lord jesus off of your life you're going to be free this day lift your hands and say i receive it [Music] now as i act to pay i want you to stand all over this floor get on up all over this floor tell somebody i get up a new woman come on say it with your mouth i get up a new woman [Music] i'm not the same i'm an end-time woman god has something better for me i'm gonna get out of my past and go into my future
