on come on yes Lord amen amen oh it's so good to see you Heidi I love you so much and I it's just so great to see we've been talking on the phone a lot there's there's been a lot going on but and I know that you have been just so busy one of the things that we knew when when Quarantine first hit the globe we were we spent a lot of time talking just about the message that was on your heart the things that you you've been hearing the Lord say over this season and and I was hoping you could just take a minute and share some of the stuff that you really feel like Jesus is speaking to you about during the season yeah I love you too well thank you see the kiddos you guys are such a blessing and it's great that we can them we can do these these podcasts and see each other and yeah I mean so many just around the world are able to connect even when they didn't have time to connect before and it's it's a beautiful thing I'm just seeing so much unity in the body of the issue I just everywhere people connecting and movements flowing together it's so powerful I agree uh I have I really have been struck during this time I feel as everyone you know the world's shaking and everything that can be shaken has been shaken and some reason I don't know why but in in maybe in Mozambique we kind of seem to go ahead sometimes in things that are happening right and through these last 25 years here we've seen God do amazing things like multiplying food and healing every kind of sickness the blind see the Deaf hear the crippled walk seeing so many people coming to Jesus and even tribes coming to the Lord it's just been beautiful but at the same exact time we've had massive disasters you know we've had floods we've had families we've had Wars we've had conflicts we've you know we've had Stoney's on it on just all these things and we've watched the Lord just do what only he can do through it all and so the way that I think the Lord prepared prepared us as a movement for this for this that's going on now with with the kovat crisis globally but also with radical insurgents locally where we live he's just really prepared us I really believe through the first cyclone and when the first cyclone hit remember that you were just on it with all the team there and internationals around the world and that massive cyclone came to just like wiped out a whole village and it just wiped out village after village after village but you can only see one village at a time right so I walked into the first village and I remember like feeling so overwhelmed and I don't know do you ever feel overwhelmed with this Cove in nineteen thing and just your family from you yeah it's it's I don't it's funny Heidi I'm just speaking really honestly I and I know this might sound strange but because I've served in iris for all these years I'm so accustom to just like kind of running into these situations it's whatwhat's overwhelming isn't the virus at all we I mean I remember the first call or outbreak in in Pemba that that when moosie and I were living there that we ran into we were serving in the hospitals and serving you know whether it's whether it's cholera or or the cyclone when when when I flew out there with and just joined up with the amazing team out there it seems like that's second nature for us it's that that isn't the overwhelming thing the overwhelming thing is is making sure that we handle like in my heart I'm just trying to make sure that I handle this this season well and it's in not just live off of old wineskin but hear the voice of what the Lord's saying in this season like that that's for me is is kind of what I'm spending most of my time thinking about but so Chris making her heart right with the Lord just making sure it's good yeah yeah but yeah but I learned this from you guys like because you guys have modeled this Pemba Pemba and even as in paid to the the revival hit through the floods back what 20 25 years ago this is yeah for for the history that that you carry and Rawlin and a little bit that I've been able to play a part in these last 13 years this this see these sorts of situations seem to be when when the Lord moves the quickest so much powerful yeah he does but there's sometimes you know what do you think you might be prepared like I thought maybe I was prepared through these last 24 years now it's 25 but when that slick loan came that really massive cyclone last year the first one when I was walking there on the dirt you know and just seeing flattened house that every house which is flat was flattening and my my team was like come over and my spiritual daughter it be it was fair and just we stood on top of this mound of mud and they said three people were buried under that mud and all these people just joined around and I mean you just you do feel a little overwhelmed at that point like how we gonna rebuild all of these houses how are we gonna conquer all of these people and this is when this message came to me that's burning in my heart right now with kovat 19 with the radical insurgents here it's the same message and the Lord spoke to me really clearly all eyes on Jesus all eyes on Jesus all hands on deck 900 900 900 11 know in America 9 1 1 is that emergency call it's the it's like that's when it's a disaster when the when the Twin Towers came down is 9/11 every time almost every day I end up looking at my watch at 9:00 and 11:00 in the morning or 9:00 and 11:00 at night it's just everywhere it just keeps happening and and I'm thinking Lord what's going on and then he said Psalm 91 1 and then he said who are you he asked me that question who are you yeah yeah we're gonna read it together like he kept asking me who are you and I asked you that a few weeks ago called it's like yeah you know your son yeah right yeah who are you I'm a daughter who are you another one oh where are you well I'm I'm a father I'm a husband I am a preacher a lover of Jesus yeah a sent one yeah a leader your CEO say wine I know I'm a mama I'm a lover of Jesus I'm bought with a price I'm an oily one and an absolutely connected to to the heart of the father and filled with holy spirit I was answering all these things I'm a I'm a wife I'm a leader of a movement founder and on and on and he kept asking me who are you and I realized he didn't mean just Who am I he was asking that question corporately and then I start to realize and this is what I want to talk about on this podcast on Good Friday it's like who are you but when you start hearing that again you start to hear the who are we like who are we and we could say well as a movement where I was global as a movement were part of a part of the body of Christ as it were a mission movement we're a movement that just runs to care for the poor of the earth yeah and then he kept asking me further like who are you and I realized that I needed to hear what he was saying and it's you are the body of Christ no you are the body of Yeshua that's who we are as a movement as our movements globally but also as we connect with all the other people in the body of Christ right now like this is critical the whole world's been affected by covin the whole world how do we connect as the body of Christ 911 are we the victims or are we the victors are we the ones the first responders are we the one so full of oil that you just cannot keep us down are we the ones with provision in our hands I give people need food we should be the ones with the food right if people need medical care we should be the ones with that with the PPE kits like why because for the body of Christ not just our our movement but every one of the body of Christ like we are so called right now to come together in love and to just say whatever I have you have whatever resource I have you have that resource like I know people are losing their jobs and they're super stretched but there's this is not a time to stop caring for the poor this is not it's time to like stop caring for orphans and widows and the poor of the earth or your neighbor yeah you know this is not a time to just swirl up and get so busy that you forget to get connected to Jesus in the secret place now like this is a time when we're supposed to shine we're the body of Christ so I started dancing wow we're the shiny ones and then we're the hands of Jesus wait we're the feet on the ground that's who we are we're the feet on the ground and then and Sarah Carter also got this so clearly it was Psalm 91 one nine one one so I'm gonna look at this song yeah I'm gonna read the first three verses and then you can read the next few okay it's great we'll just go back and forth I love it and just just let that distinct you know I'm in the passion translation do you have an NIV I'm in then I go yeah awesome yeah I love the translations the Lord's blessed us with so here it is safe and secure in this time of crisis here we are safe and secure when you sit enthroned under the shadow of Shaddai you are hidden in the strength of God most high he's the hope that holds me and the stronghold to shelter me the only God for me and my great confidence I'm gonna take it from verse 3 verse 3 surely he will save you from the Fowler's snare and from the deadly pestilence come on that's a good word he will cover you with his feathers and under his wings you will find refuge his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart verse 5 you will not fear the terror of night nor the arrow that flies by day verse 6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness nor the plague that destroys at midday come on keep going ID okay even at a time oh let's see are you at the end of six yeah okay don't fear it I'll read it here and yeah reading on the passion don't fear a thing come on everybody listening this is such a word for right now yeah there's here if you feed yourself on the news I know you need to catch the news sometimes but don't feed yourself on it you know if you feed yourself on that you're gonna get so fearful and so downtrodden you you know if you need to look at it for ten minutes or so and just kind of keep yourself current I understand but don't don't just feed yourself on that feed yourself on the word of God feed yourself on Jesus he's the bread take communion every day and and just feed yourself in this beautiful word listen to this is so beautiful even here yeah don't fear a thing whether by night or day demonic danger will not trouble you nor will the powers of evil launched against you even in a time of disaster with thousands and thousands being killed you will remain unscathed and unharmed you will be a spectator as the wicked perish in judgment and they will be paid back for what they have done when we live our lives within the shadow connected put your hands in the hands of the right now and step right on this key oh come on you step on your feet Lord Jesus we put our hands in your hands father we live our lives within the shadow of God most high our secret hiding place we will always be shielded from harm how then could evil prevail against you or disease infect us come on God sends angels with special orders to protect you wherever you go defending you from all harm if you walk into a trap they'll be there with you and keep you from stumbling you'll even walk unharmed among the fiercest powers of darkness trampling every one of them beneath your feet here why don't you go with verse 14 will because he loves me says the Lord I will rescue him I will protect him for he acknowledges my name do you acknowledge his name come on and he will call upon me and I will answer him that's all I want Heidi I just want I want his voice I want that that beautiful relationship I love this come on ba-ba-ba-ba I will be with him in trouble I will deliver him and honor him with long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation come on this is the perfect song for you nine-one-one yes there's disaster everywhere but if we can see Psalm 91 one the way we look at it it's gonna be different yeah well I I think you probably remember this prophetic word that I had I was actually in Harrisburg and it was a word you know it was one of those words I just got super deep into the heart of God and I just went into that realm you know just where you're so you just hard to heart with God yeah and I remember I had this vision and it was a little bizarre but I'll is it okay if I share about you please okay so what I saw was really it really was bizarre I saw a bunch of chickens running around without their heads and like blood was spurting these chickens and and they didn't know they were dead they were headless they had these little wings but they couldn't fly and they were actually dead but they didn't know it right and the Lord said that's what it looks like when people who call him Lord are not connected to the headship of Jesus they're not connected to his mind his heart his purposes his will they're literally running around like like chickens like they're dead but they don't even know it and then the Lord told you're not chickens you've been created to be Eagles you haven't been created to be chickens people eat chickens they never eat Eagles and he said he said tell them tell the church they're called to be Eagles and then I saw like these believers being lifted up and there they were just stretching out their wings and soaring you know in this vision just heavenly realms and they were more like Eagles no more like little chickens hopping around with no head with no their wings were worthless no these these were Eagles and the Lord said it's time to mount up on the wings like eagles to run and not be weary to walk and not faint and I saw them just up there they were crying out like wow I just thought the time and the season and then I started prophesying I see bread lines in soup kitchens in America I see bread lines in soup kitchens in America but the people that are in the line still have their good clothes none of their clothes are ripped and shredded you know they're they were good clothes they were they were like absolutely beautiful a beautifully dressed good t-shirts good shirts good outfits but then they had shiny cars as well and so what I saw it wasn't like the poor in Mozambique you know when we food the hungry which is all the time you know they're shredded rags you've been here for years you know they you touch their clothes they'll shredding your but these nice vision I saw in the West in America people were in these clothes that were still good and there they were driving shiny cars BMWs they were driving SUVs they were driving Mercedes they were driving Fords they would drive you Toyotas they were driving cars that was still still beautiful still shiny they weren't worn out and I was like what is that he said there'll be bread lights and soup kitchens in America and we're in that time right now there's bread lines everywhere like bread runs out even in the grocery stores you are waiting in line in food banks and they're waiting they're good clothes they're not beggars they're not like up the street street sweepers they're literally people who have a job two three weeks ago and now they literally don't have a job they don't have any money to eat yeah and the Lord said to me this is the time for the church to shine and he said what you've seen in Mozambique they're about to see in the USA they're about to see in the first world where you know we've seen food multiply so many times yes like so many times the first time you saw it it was just I didn't even believe it couldn't happen I know I know I read the word but you know you don't you're like that's awesome that's Jesus time but we really needed food many times it's happened now but the first time I remember we had like 75 80 kids in our little office we were homeless we lost everything and we we didn't have any money all our food that we bought was stolen and I was actually angry like I thought this is not right God you told us you told us to take these kids in and you told us to do this and now we don't even have food and this lady called me and Nell that was her name she just said I made y'all food I made you Chilean rice and she came over with this potted Chilean rice and I just opened the door I said see Nelda and she didn't want to see she was like no no I made this for your family of four I said no you have to see right now whoa well come on we all need to see yes and I know we're in our families at four or six or eight or however big your family is or two or maybe you're a single person on your own right now and the only one you're sings the money in the mirror you know but I'm telling you this is our time to shine yeah God wants us to shine and so I just opened the door and I said just look at all these kids and she was like no I gotta go make more and I say we don't have time and right now we don't have time to figure out all this ourselves like this strategies right and how we're gonna make it work even us like how we're gonna pay our staff 1200 people on our payroll in overseas I don't know 29 in America like all this stuff how are you gonna pay all those people how are you gonna get food you know we've been feeding as you know 20 30 40 thousand people a day depending on the day like yeah how we gonna do it Lord bring all the schools all the stuff we can't figure this one out yeah we can't wake them up with it in our brain and go oh we'll just sell this you know or we'll just depend on that now especially in in the two thirds world there's no trillion dollar backup program you know there's nothing it's like you know our country Mozambique shut down but there's no backup plan there's no government handout there's nothing there just like people don't go to work stay inside well the poor don't have refrigerators they don't have any kind of Social Security system to speak up they don't have any bailouts they're just like what what are we gonna do there have been riots in the streets already like and then you put insurgent radicals on top of that and get the helicopters flying off in front of your house every day with the machine guns out the win like you're seriously whoa yeah we're like we're in another situation right now and this is what brings me to this word like what we see in Muslim being what we still see you're gonna see in American I pray - the helicopters with the machine guns out the window - you know - the radical insurgents I really pray you can get to that place there we we really pray you don't get there but as far as you meeting food tumult by right now you need that yeah you know you need God to provide even if it's sanity and mental health as you're trapped inside your homes you know it's like what how do we stay the presence in the midst of this you know feeling claustrophobic and everything you know anyway back to this story I just said now - just pray for it and reveal my spiritual daughter was there with me again she was there I had so the most amazing times to my life and she was just like praying over the food and then my friend Nelda prayed inside god bless it amen I said give him a lot they're hungry yeah and we started putting rice and this chili sauce on it just big plates handing it to every child and I kid you not like this food would have fed ate right after 80 she made it for four but it really would have fed eight even ten you know if you shared it well but after over 80 kids with big portions there was still food I love it in the pot like Jesus multiplied food for us Heidi I have so many of these stories it was like I I mean I was there I watched him multiply those little you know those sacks of cookies those like yeah and and I just I loved that because Jesus doesn't care about gluten-free I was there when that happened we sat down all the kids and did around and then another I think we did three or four rounds we shouldn't have even been able to make it through one round and he multiplied these little there were actually pretty horrible cookies there they're just yeah their legs they're like rocks and cement kind of mixed together with some sugar on him but but what I love and you see this in the life of Jesus is he taught and then he fed he fed people and even when he turns to to the boy before he multiplies loaves and fishes he turns to his disciple and he goes how are we gonna feed these people he Jesus is just as much into into taking care of the spiritual and the physical I just I wasn't texting I was just getting the exact verse I have it here I've been just meditating on this verse in this last few days because I I need this and we all need this even though we've been through cyclones you know we've been through chaos I still need to feed myself on this stuff daylian and I you know you know Heidi I travel around the world but I'm here in the West and and and I've lived in multiple nations but it's still easy to just kind of go back into comfort relying on systems relying on just our normal comfort but I've been in I've been reading Matthew 6 and you know this I'll just just really quick it says Matthew 6:25 therefore I tell you do not worry about your life what you will eat or drink or about your body or what you aware I just say amen to the body part but I never mind about what you will where is my life is is not life more important than food and the body more important than clothes look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns come on look this is what a lot of the church I saw in the West they just started as soon as news came they just started stone away and there isn't I have no problem with storing or planning we do that we even do that as a movement you know we send containers we we we plan but but but we're not called to live live this way he says look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns and yet your heavenly Father feeds them are you not much more valuable than they who of you by worrying can add single hour to your life now we read ruby the sea goes on Jesus goes on and he repeats he repeats a lot of what he said in the first few verses there but you know Heidi talked to us a little bit about the backdrop you've mentioned some of the insurgents you've mentioned some of these helicopters there's stuff going on and I know we don't want to go into it too deep on here but but on the backdrop of this of this virus which is which is in Mozambique and around the globe there's there's another level of chaos that's going around in in northern Mozambique how do you navigate now you've been you've been living your whole life since you were 15 16 15 16 16 16 radically obedient you and Roland the stories the testimonies have encouraged the entire planet how do you keep yourself fed in the middle of knowing this truth right but at the same time it's like God when is enough enough like like you know does it end like how do you just walk walk us through how you keep yourself encouraged or how the Lord feeds you in those seasons well yeah there are times that's why I said that that time with the cyclone I was overwhelmed I really was and what I did in that time was I just you know I just got quiet I just found it kind of quiet place it's Africa so it's you know it's not really easy to find it quiet place usually but I found this quiet place it was just like praying in the spirit so I pray in tongues a lot like just praying in tongues and then I just wait on the Lord like what are you saying Lord because and and I actually I cry to you at times when like God surely you see this kind of stuff bringing and you see this and then I just listened for his voice and and I've stained the word like and and then he just he lifts that burden that overwhelming thing and he just says my burdens light like I've got this yeah I'm writing the devotional right now called God's got this like God's got this we are literally like in his arms and you know when you see videos and you see people that are being killed and all that like and they're your friends who are your neighbors are sending them to you like it's it can it can mess with you can mess with your head and you try to sleep at night in those videos coming back to you and you're like whoa you hear you hear shotgun shots in the night and you woken up and all of that but at the same time it's like if you know that you're in the heart of God and you're in his presence then you're in the best place you can be like if you could just be in the will of God for your life then you're okay so all of us feel like right now like I loved I left what you read from Matthew because you know God's got this yeah he takes care of the birds he takes care of us he takes care of the hungry and even like we're burdened because we are our feeding programs had to really shift because waiting on our PPE kids in China awesome brothers and sisters from China sending us these kids so we can distribute the manna packs yeah to the most desperately people that are we're talking often severe hunger yeah you know severe hunger they're having their displaced people from villages that have been destroyed and it's it can be overwhelming but you just got to keep your eyes on Jesus and realize we're not in this alone like we are in this together first of all we're in this with God God Father God the Son Jesus Christ God will Eastern three-in-one absolutely on this God's got this yeah and then we're able together like we as the body of Christ in our movement in all the movements that we connect with you know we connect with so many movements yeah doesn't mean we agree with all their theology and they agree with all of ours but we say we're lovers of God we're in this together and we just we learn to share and we learn to trust in a way we've never trusted before so with the insurgents you know it's it's just yeah you you just have to believe that God if God told you to be here yeah then you're gonna be here and it's true that people do you know they do die it's true our friends have died people we love of God but we know that they go straight into the arms of Jesus yeah and so they didn't lose either way you know and we would really believe that God's gonna protect us at the same time we know there's no not being protected does that make sense totally makes it it just talked about this for a second because I think a lot of people they think that they're safer you know in America or in their house than they are in another part of the world I always say you've heard me preach Peter walking on water the safest place for Peter was waist-deep with his hand reached out to Jesus walking on water wasn't in the boat with the other eleven disciples to talk us through that because I think of safety a lot of people they they think of one that place is safe you know even when they come and visit Pemba you'll even see people they'll stay in the visitor center you know they won't like go you know they'll like go out for a little bit do something then they'll come back into the safety of the visitor center to talk a talk about that yeah they're really the safest place to be is in the center of God's heart in his will yeah you know if you're inside the will of God you're safe whether you live or die right we're safe because you're inside the heart of God you're inside the will of God and if you really believe eternity is real then you're not gonna live your life in constant fear and you know it's it's really that simple and also the world you know this world is amazing and it's amazing that we get to shine here and share our faith here and and see realms of the kingdom here but this robe is not at home this is not our concern to move along there really is another home and it's an eternal Kingdom it's not a fairy tale it's not some kind of silly thing that people made up it's literally true there is an eternal realm of heavenly glory and and we are going to live face to face heart to heart with our Lord and our God forever and so if you could just see that you're not gonna be as concerned you know if you lose your core during this season or you have to move to a smaller apartment or whatever those things are like they're just momentary things they're not eternal things and I'm telling you the Lord's gonna give you strength to get through them something I I do whenever things are like a little challenging maybe financially or whatever it's a little challenge yeah it's challenging I think okay who has less than I have and in Mozambique that's that's pretty easy to find them and I go I go through my closets I go through my my cupboards that have like plant pots and pans and dishes and I put them in a box and I go give them away it's like I found a way to deal with this whole thing where oh gosh I'm gonna not have enough like you know like you we're not speaking out there so we don't have so much coming in you know but we still want to give out but it's like no I'm not gonna think in this limited way where I can't make a difference I can make a difference and you could say well we're not allowed depends on what country you're and maybe you're not allowed to go out but here I'm gonna send you this video put it up on on the different sites of iris right but it was really fun today so we go in and we're still allowed to go out if it's very necessary well I found this was very necessary so Pasquale and I are going with pastor Pedro to record a Good Friday service because most people in our country don't have internet so we go like we go in these back alleys you know and drive there's like this shop a door and we're walking past these kids and this little kitten I mean it is the least likely place that you think you're gonna find a recording studio right but we go cut it back around this corner of the house is not you know it's just barely barely there you know what I mean yeah and we go in in this little room and there's a curtain between between George's bedroom and the little studio and we're just jammed in there and I'm telling you well the presence of God just dropped in to that recording studio and that message just went out Mozambique we found a way because we're not allowed to meet him as you guys we can't mean it's our mega churches which we have quite a few really big churches they've all just been multiplied yeah and now we're allowed to meet in groups of eight and that might become groups of six groups of two we don't know but whatever it is wherever you can meet just shine yeah so I went out after the glory just dropped in on the studio and Nikko is playing guitar and it was - so sweet it was just so raw so sweet yeah and I go out and I just you know my message I've had for years stop for the wine first stop for Jesus without oil you have nothing right stop the god stop love him be with him in his presence there's fullness of joy but then just stop for the one in front of you so there is these three guys there and I put my solar Bibles you know in my backpack so I pulled him out him speaking to them in different languages Makua they did really get makuu and then i win I don't speak makan D but I able to communicate enough to say are you makan D and with by Portuguese obviously and they were makan D and I have a solo Bible in makan Portuguese and Makua and I've said it's Good Friday and this is the day you're gonna receive salvation and I just like top two these three guys they're in this little in this little I don't know what you would call it whatever it's a little hot kind of big house a hot house that wasn't quite finished and they just prayed with me just so easily they just received the Lord and then I put this solar Bible out in the Sun and it just was blasting beautifully the Word of God in makan Dee and their faces just lit up and I like we rely for such a time as this no I can't preach to the thousands and the tens of thousands and you know publicly but I can share with you right now and this can go out and I can stop for the one and I feel like through this time we'll like the guac but God is asking every one of us to just stop for him slow down a little bit like chill out we need to stop this frantic frantic pace and slow down that's that's the first thing slow down and spend more time in his presence yeah more time in his word more time just enjoy that by oil your time it was costly thing we have right now y'all you're not commuting to your workplace there's not traffic jams and you don't have to you know you're not even going to get your hair cut at some hair salon that's what yeah you're not you know you're not going out to restaurants you're not going out with your finances but you do have time with your wife your husband and your kids and you have time with God to just get into the glory and so I just want to say that I think we are very very blessed yeah in this that God's like he's given us this beautiful wake-up call and so wake up sleeping beauty yeah and just get into the glory of God and he's gonna he's gonna keep you safe yeah he really is and I believe that there is enough believers on this planet that no one needs to die of starvation and no one needs to go to bed hungry there's enough food it really is and so continue to share your food with the hungry yeah whether they're your neighbor across the street next door somebody in a retirement home you know write them a little note share your food with the hungry or whether you share with Africa or Asia or South America some place where their inner city slum just like share your food because God's a God of multiplication and he'll always take care of you and Jesus is the bread so we're gonna eat him and drink him and love him and he's gonna multiply our little eyes like Meredith or Heidi as you're sharing I I just I have so many memories beautiful memories of sitting in mud huts with you out in the bush with a widow who killed her only goose her only chicken and she will sit there with and you know that no food this is it this is all that they have and they will sit there and and serve at great cost to their to their own lives at Grace great cost to to their own health they will serve non-stop I learned that I learned that from being with you being with Rawlin and and and serving the poor but not really serving but being served by the poor a lot of us we going especially you know we bring a lot of people and or people come and they have all these ideas I'm gonna go and do ABCD efg but the reality is you we end up receiving more from these beautiful people than we actually end up giving and I this is one thing and I know I know we've gone super long but I this there was something I've just been praying about I wanted to bounce this off you you know when when the virus hit hit the world right there was a lot of different responses but first of all people didn't know you know am I am I gonna survive am I gonna be healthy if I do get sick what's gonna happen is there gonna be food is there gonna be clean water is there gonna be you know all these what if what if what if and as I was just thinking about it I realized that this is the way that most people in the world live daily like in Mozambique this is the way everybody lives every day and my prayer one of my prayers is that who you who are watching this well will hear these stories but also realize that that thing that you're feeling that tension that you that you feel is that same heart of your brothers and sisters around the globe and my prayer is that God breaks your heart for the poor the sick and the needy that thing you know that you felt when he said oh what am I going to do am I gonna have food that's the way that your brothers and sisters are around the world and your neighbors are around the globe and if you can just of course don't hold on to that but if you can remember that that heart and realize that that's the way that people live and think all day long because they're already living in that reality and when whenever this thing shifts even now but but make sure that you run towards that because God is going to use you to go and touch the poor the sick the needy and the broken one of our core values at iris is we seek Him amongst the poor we we find revival amongst the poor and there is something there I've learned that from following your traipsing around village to village and and building churches and drilling wells and just just just having fun even I've learned that that the kingdom is so close and blessed are the poor and because they are so near to that Kingdom and that's something that as you guys are watching this let let the Lord break your heart in the most beautiful way and and when this is over or even now its begin to serve you know of course do it safe and legal with your government compliance but but but say God I I want to make sure that I lay my life down so that I can take this gospel to those who feel that everyday and I my prayer is that you know we well I'm sorry I'm kind of rambling forgive me but we just left Brazil we left Brazil right one of the largest gatherings mission sending gatherings in in the world and God knows what he's doing God knows his timing he's in he's not surprised by any of this and there was a call right a cry Here I am Lord send me we raised our sneakers together in the air said Lord take my feet and and then bang we go into this world wide this world wide virus and I just say this is the Lord look it was like Here I am Lord and the Lord like okay let's actually go and do this thing and so my prayer is that you guys in this time get broken in the most beautiful way let him break you and realize that you're called to go and do the exact same thing that Heidi is doing no longer I just say this is one who is who's been so encouraged by you and Rowling but I just want to speak to those who are watching me like this is not separate from you and let the Lord touch you in such a deep way during this season that when you come out of this you go Here I am Lord send me and and you actually go no more excuses I'm sorry I kind of went a little rant there Heidi yeah yeah just stop for the one yeah it's not about just somebody with a name somebody's famous or known or whatever and we're just waiting to fill a bigger building yeah you know it's about every believer on the planet every lover of Jesus on the planet being full of oil of intimacy with with Jesus and then stopping for the yeah implying man in the West may look different from the dying man you know in a slum or a garbage dump or a village somewhere but we are all called to love the one and who's hurting and the Lord's gonna give us enough bread enough heavenly wine enough oil to stop and that's the anointing and that's for every believer may we not just walk by our neighbor and not just try to do enough just to save ourselves yeah but may our hearts like you said we'll just be broken and be full of radical love yeah and just pour out what Jesus poured into us every day every single day every believer we will see the billion so harvest and we will be glory to the king come on you're awesome listen I know you've got a lot of stuff going on I'm so grateful that you got to just pull aside for a minute and come and hang out with us I know everybody watching is grateful as well I love you Heidi I love you and Rowan so much the impact that you have had on my life I'm forever forever grateful I will never forget the first time I saw you in in Harrisburg the same place you got that word at Life Center Church Charles talks Church and I I was an itinerate traveling with Randy Clark who's amazing for an amazing father and I saw the power that was taking place in the church right traveling around watching God move in churches and then I heard your testimony of of the Lord using it amongst the poor and I said God I have to see that I have to see that and it and it came out of my my just being in the church and taking it to the poor the sick the needy in the broken my they changed my life and I'm just so grateful I'm so grateful for your message I'm so grateful for your life lay down I'm just I'm just grateful to run with you and roll in and this amazing yeah come on and we have just hundreds and hundreds of RAD lovers of Jesus moving all around the globe right now and and yeah we're seeing it so listen bless you Heidi we love you
