Pastor Phineka Friend | Women's Nailed It Conference Day 1

about God's goodness Reverend Dr flake I think about how I had to marry Barry my mother and my father to the day of each other last year when I think about God's goodness you're gonna say why you're saying God's goodness I think about it an adoption I had a failed adoption I kept babies a set of twins for two days I had a room they put me in a hospital room and I do skin and skin with these babies and I got to spend time with these babies and the father came in who had been absent I had already paid all money we was there and those and they changed their mind but it was because of his goodness and I kept my mind I I had to change because I wanted to do a temperature check on today is anybody excited about how God just kept your mind [Music] foreign for those of you who don't know my testimony I was an orphan so these were my biological parents that have passed Bishop I was molested by my biological father so brutal that I was told that I couldn't have children and that I would be Barren by the doctors and I was tasked to bury them not only financially but to show up for people who had done me this way and I couldn't grasp in my mind what the Lord was trying to show me in that moment and I said Lord why would you put me in a situation like this they took from me they took my childhood they took part of my would you put me in a situation like this where I have to pay to bury them the Lord said but the thing that was designed from hell to kill you to destroy the thing that you see them it didn't break you baby look at you you have been able to do it [Music] please [Music] couldn't bring me out my husband said I thought my wife was broken when the therapist could do it the Lord kept [Music] I found myself in a room and I closed myself off and I said God I don't understand this I don't understand why I have to bury this woman who never showed up for me and the Lord showed me my whole life I live my life believing that she some glamorous life and somehow I was the thing that was holding her back being my husband got on a flight to Mobile Alabama and I packed up her whole life in an hour and a half but in my mind as a child I told myself she's out living the life going out to have big fun and a half the Lord began to heal my heart as I stood outside her apartment I had never been I'd never been to her home and as I stood outside her apartment and I was packing her things up and I said God I thank you when everybody walked away their God you were there you were there you were there does anybody just got you a pill all the time cause they are sis he kept my mind let me let me let me go on and do it I'm tasked to do but listen I know God to be a keeper and so when you get to singing about his goodness and whatever time I go into the house of the Lord I always go with my hands lift it over I always go in my heart filled with praise [Applause] [Music] my mouth will bless you no matter what I'm going through my mouth will bless you I command my soul to bless the Lord I command my body to bless the Lord I don't care what I feel like I'm a man I commanded cause he's been too good and if for no other reason he kept my mind no no I literally thought I was going to be in in a padded sale I don't think [Music] and this ain't even got anything to do with the message but listen my friend for a bunch of years Tasha Cobbs y'all know she adopted a son she called me and I said I went to Charlotte I had taken my kids uh to a water park in Charlotte you all can be seated and said um do you believe it's your bamboo season sis and I said well yeah we was you know at Mike Ty's Church you know bimbo season and call me and she says it was about eight something that night and she said uh I got some news for y'all you're sitting down I said well I'm at a water park with the girls let me you know let me get up to my room my husband is flying in from Charlotte he had to preach somewhere and he's going to meet us there and uh call and she tells me about the boys and they asked her off of the the we thought it was one child to her and she says no you know I'm getting older we just wanted one child together and uh but can I ask you what they are and she said they said twin boys and we have been believing God for twin boys I did a whole Nursery I renovated my whole house I turned my whole basement into an area of anybody follow me y'all saw it I had the names up on the wall and God I was sitting there and I was rocking that chair and God would give me a word and every time I say God you're not gonna let this happen you let me stand before thousands now my husband really wanted to adopt but a prophet came and gave us a word and I said God you got me out here looking like a fool what is going on and she said sis but you have until 9 30. to tell these people if you want these babies my husband landed at 9 15.

[Music] hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah we honor you Jesus [Music] God we won't do nothing until you come here oh God move me out of the way that they only see you you fall in heaven we thank you for allowing each of us to arrive here safely Lord you gave me this word and God as I preacher that I ask that you stand up in me and God just as it hit me let it do what it did even in the room in our private time when it was just you and I and we'll be careful to give you all the glory Diana and the praise in Jesus name now Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath and there was a woman who for 18 years had an illness caused by a spirit a demon she was bent double and could not straighten up at all when Jesus saw her he called her over and said to her woman you are released from your illness Jake's put it in King James version that said woman Thou Art loose then he laid his hands on her and immediately stood erect again and she began glorifying and praising God but the leader of the synagogue indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath began saying to the crowd in response there are six days in which work ought to be done so come on those days and be healed not on the Sabbath day but the Lord replied to him you hypocrites tender Ness Sabbath untie his ox or his Donkey from the stone and Lead it away to water as this woman adored a descendant of Abraham whom Satan has Bound for 18 long years should she not have been released from the bond on the Sabbath day as he was saying this all of his opponents were being humiliated and the entire crowd was rejoicing over all the Glorious things that were being done by him can you just look at your neighbor one time and say stand up straight in in the word you can be seated in the word There Is Power to stand up straight we know that the word would uphold you we saw what what the Lord did when Peter was on a boat it's like the Lord laid out a blanket over the water and when Peter stepped out on the boat the word upheld him there's something about the word that begins to hold you up and straighten you out this woman she was turned up side down down King James I mean uh Amplified says she was doubled over some some people say it was like a a a a a a severe case of scoliosis some people say it was kyphosis uh and others say is that I can't say it it ain't gonna try uh but when your spine began to fuse together this wasn't like a woman with a hunchback when we say Hunchback of Notre Dame this this this woman right here her chest was parallel to her knees because she was doubled over by a demon by a spirit for 18 years 666 demon for 18 years six plus six plus six eighteen yeah she was she was doubled over for 18 years couldn't lift up self have you ever been in a state and you try to shake yourself you know you get in the mirror you talk to stuff like now you can really do this now you you just gonna really have to get yourself together I know you can do this you're gonna have to get have you ever been in the state that every time you try Shake Yourself you couldn't lift yourself up it was something about your head that you just couldn't lift it up I know the Bible said lift up your heads oh he Gates and be lifted up he Everlasting doors and the king of glory shall come in but what happened when my head is bowed and in this in this position and physically because of a spirit because of a demonic Force that is working against me keeps me from holding my head up there are some situations you get yourself into and you can't get yourself out listen and and so we see this woman I want to get a a picture can I see this baby can you come up to me can you come up to me can you bend down and touch your toes can you touch your toes this woman was bit like this I I want you to see it I don't want you to think we was doing this here no no no no her head was down she was double bit over that that's a bent over right now if I'm double bent over this this is this is how people saw her can you see the picture can you imagine having to walk around life looking like this right here with your head bowed down and people laughing at you and people making fun of you and you can't help this condition and you're like this and I said come here baby can you walk this way to me can you walk to me I'll stay bow down stay Bow Down walk to me did you see her walking keep walking to me baby I'ma turn and go this way can you come and go this way with me I'ma go this way can you come and go this way with me because her head was bowed down only way she can move was by the directives [Music] I can't see where I'm going that means that I'm totally dependent on somebody else because my head is lower so when I move I can't even tell you if I want to get him to come down these stairs I would have to say take one step now imma hold you on the side come on let's try let's try come on let's try what's his name casing casing come on Casey been down I'ma help you I'm gonna

you can go back thank you sweet baby I'm gonna give you something too okay you amazing let's go back to this woman doing these times women didn't sit with the men in church okay they were separate how did the Lord see this woman have you ever been so desperate for a move of God from a touch of God you had to show up in places that others didn't want you there but I believe so strongly that there is a word in the house for me I got to get closer I know we're closer what Jesus was that's what a man were but there is a word there because I have been dealing with this thing for 18 long years I don't know what it is that has had you bent over but I'm gonna give you a little time to think about the thing that has crushed you the thing that has had you bent over the thing that has made you have to listen to the voices of others to dictate where you're gonna go how you gonna go where you gonna sit how you gonna lay down how even you won't even wipe yourself how you're gonna feed yourself all you see it's dirt you don't have no you you you hadn't even looked at anybody in their face you see them at the knees and you don't see nothing else has anybody ever come into church now this woman was in a synagogue but she still was in a bow down position because her life has hit you when they say life be life and life has like you in such a way that even as you come into church you found yourself knee bound and body been but not in the form of worship but you were like this because you have a condition what have you had to walk in church and be embarrassed about oh Reverend flake I remember I remember getting pregnant out of wedlock by the pastor oh Lord I remember everybody and I was so embarrassed and I began to walk in church and I started backing up and the more they talked the lower I got it and the Lord I got until one day I just went right on out the back door and I said I don't want anything to do with this God I'm just trying to disarm you because a lot of times we say I don't have no condition like that I don't know what you're talking about this you've ever had to deal with this made you like this if somebody don't direct me I believe Walker into the church but here she come she is can you see her [Music] she said it's me oh Lord mama it's not my daddy it's not my sister it's not my brother but it's me oh Lord standing in the need of prayer at this time I gotta make this one personal and tonight if we're gonna nail some things we have to make some things personal what's happening is while we're down like this and we are out like this we're still trying to fix everybody with our limited view and our limited scope all while we're nursing what we got going on with this condition there's a lot of pain it causes a lot of falling can you imagine being like this and just all of a sudden just fall over in front of everybody have you ever done something so everybody see it everybody everybody see it everybody is Whispering everybody is laughing everybody is talking about you listen I woke up two years ago baby I was on the shade room I saw some stuff about me I said my God people who told them this this ain't even true and the Lord said you can't even say nothing back have you ever been in a state and you said I want nothing more but to defend myself because everybody's seeing everybody see everybody see the curvature they have everybody see it everybody is talking about it and you're telling me I can't address it double bent over double bent over told y'all earlier I was told I couldn't have children I said to myself well I don't never want to be married you know we say all these things right I don't even want to be married it's not true I did but I didn't believe God will open my womb and I didn't think a man would marry me Barry has anybody started saying these things to themselves y'all listen listen you start saying all these clothes all the Lord gives and the Lord takes away but blessed be the name of the Lord we get in church and say all this stuff and then we get home we crying our eyes out saying God why why would you allow this to happen to me I didn't do this to myself and then I have to suffer the consequences why but in public oh blessed be the name of the Lord oh God oh God all the time and all the time God is good getting your car leaving from church saying man this is cruel God I can't believe that I'm out of here like this this is cool this is unusual I remember I remember I remember I I lost a baby my husband was preaching and I felt a pain I was pregnant with my daughter with my child before my last baby and I was in church oh get me out but don't let my husband because you got to know my husband how he is about me if I move he's like this so I was trying to you know inch on out the door y'all I get in stirrups they said you too far along dilated we can't stop the pregnancy baby was too young you know what the very next Sunday I was at church because I said I'm the pastor's wife and everybody expects me to be back at church because somehow people think that trouble escapes us so they think that trouble don't come to our house or because we serve God and we love God and we paint our tithes and we show up somehow trouble don't find us so I showed up I put at that time we were still Baptists I put my stockings on and I put my slip on put for good slip on and I showed up at church and I said oh the Lord they said oh everybody oh my God this is a friend I can't believe you're here oh Lord give it Lord takes away until one night 2 am that thing hit me and I got up and I couldn't find nothing cute and Churchill to say to God I didn't have people to pump me so I had to fake it for them it was just me and God and I had to stand there with my loss and I had to stand there and that was the first time because I never my husband had never seen me cry y'all I lost my baby and didn't shed a tears because of the trauma of my childhood that day I didn't I wasn't even familiar I said what is this hot and salty coming down my cheeks I had to come face I was doubled over but I put my Mac on and because I can stand up straight I was doubled over in the spirit but nobody saw it because I could dress girls knew how to kill zone and I knew how to show up and some of you are dealing with some things right now but tonight you said I'm gonna dress up I'm gonna fix up I'm gonna put my makeup on and you are bent out of shape over something the difference between you and her is that we can't see it in you but when you go home and you have to face that mirror and you have to look back and you say do I like what is staring back at me when everybody is gone and all the Fanfare is gone and you're standing there and cry as you are done okay I was double over one thing to go my whole life feel like an orphan but it was another thing to stand over their caskets and realize I am in fact an orphan I felt alone I was so shocked by my behavior just the way I grieved I was angry with myself of crying over my parents who wasn't at the end of the day they were still my parents I was wrestling with God you make so much anybody ever said that why why why'd I got to be the bigger person and why do I have to care so much I started cursing my own heart you make me like this dump it over crippled do you understand all the things I thought I would never say y'all I had made up a whole story because one thing about black folks listen we'll make up a story I told everybody my grandma was my mother my parents was just older I tried out for the chili team my grandma came in there with a whole hat stockings and church shoes and her St John's knit I said baby this this is a gym she said well you said it was a you was you was trying out but cheerleading you could have left the Saint John in at the house and everybody was laughing and I said well you know y'all know my mama's older double been over but I've created a whole scenario what lie have you told yourself about yourself to disassociate yourself so you wouldn't have to really come to realization of how doubled over but if I came for no other reason tonight if you'd never heard of me before and if I'm never invited back I want to let you know tonight you can straighten up with God [Applause] go back to the ticks past what I'm doing on time so this lady is there not really supposed to be there and the Bible says that the Lord sees her just because I used to be a school teacher and I was a Reading Coach if you couldn't tell I know I'm a little country but I should be reading culture in my mind I just think that the Lord was hooping you know because as I see it and I believe he was on point number two and he said and God said and he stopped and he saw her but I believe that the Lord bit down so she can see him because he had to get on her level which lets me know that there's no place low enough that the Lord will come down on us and reach down and see about me so why my head is hung low the Lord saw her he change his past for her have you ever been in a season and you needed God to change his posture because I can't lift my own head up in no wise cause she lift up her head the Bible said so Lord I need you to come down here and get on my level so I can see you you ever been crying in the shower you step out of the bed from your husband you take trying to hold it in and the Lord will meet you right there in the shower you know why because he sees you right where you are have you ever had to step away from your cubicle at work because something hit you and you felt dumped over and you said Lord I walk off this job and walk in some 285 traffic if you don't come and show up and she about me and I tell you that the Lord will meet you right there while you on your job in the bathroom because he sees you if I make my bed in hell he'll be there if I take the wings of the morning he'll be there is no place that I can go on to escape Bow Down the Lord sees her and you know what he does he don't just come out and lay his hands on you know you know because we try to clean the fish before we catch the fish in church the the Lord spoke to her in the language he understands he said come to me because he knew she moving on people's people's directives she was used to being said go left go right step over this right here she was used to that do you understand that the Lord will come and talk to you in a way that you will understand you know yes speaking small boys I'm very loud very contrary the Lord speaks to me very loudly I don't know about you that's what he speaks to me but that's what he meets me and that's where he has to get my attention but that's where he speaks to me because that that scripture lets me know he'll call you in the way that you understand and for some of you you've been looking for him to call him the way he called for your grandmother you've been looking for him to call you you know sometimes in the church has he ever been in Walmart and you say God I bless you the other day I was in Chuck E cheese a true story I put on my social media I couldn't stop speaking in tongues and Chuck E cheese y'all I literally went outside now Lord you wanted to release me or whatever this is on me what is this but when I got home there was a problem and the Lord had already built my spirit man up so it was like water off a duck's back it didn't even bother me because he 'd be where I was and he spoke to me in a way that I understood because I was in bed I was like my kids was playing I was like y'all want some more talking as soon as I hit my door my husband said I got bad news because it would my spirit was already in a place my heart was already postured to be able to receive it so sometimes you looking for him to speak to you to you later and the Lord will show up and speak to you in another place but but are you listening I never want to lose my awareness and my awe of God the church has lost its awe of God our awareness there is never a point I get in church even when I say when you say you have to command yourself to bless the Lord when you don't feel like it I never want to be in his presence and forget his uh no it ain't about Faking It Ain't About faking cause he really has been good but now I got to I got to figure out how I'm gonna get this and then guess what in the midst of me worshiping somehow that thing that was on my heart just somehow just Falls right on off so the Bible says he's a woman you are loosed of your infirmities and I said Lord why you didn't lay hands on her first you made the man put the plate in his eye and I did all that wash and all that way you can put your hands on he said because her I had to lose her mind before I touch her body because some of you have been going around like you got body dysmorphia you know what that is you see yourself one way even though your change had he not told had he not commit to him and be loose even if he had laid hands on her and she stood straight up but her mind wasn't changed every time she looked in the mirror she would always see herself like this some of you have not asked the Lord to come in and change your mind what you pray is Lord change my situation get me out of this that's why I go crazy about my mind Lord if you can change my mind and I can see things the way that you're seeing because you can give me the blessing and I can mess it up because I don't have the right mind Lord touch my mind everybody touch their mind right there yeah tell them Lord touch my mind let me see you like me see me yeah yeah Lord touch my mind once he transformed her mind then he can deal with what everybody else see he had to deal with the thing that nobody saw they yeah they saw the double bend over but they didn't sell her crying they didn't see the pain they didn't see the embarrassment I'm sure she probably even masked it too in church because yeah we all see so then the Lord begins to touch the thing that everybody else sees he lays his hands and you know what that lady do Bible say immediately somebody shout immediately this ain't a dip wash I see men as trees dip washed this was an immediately the latest straightened up you know one word from God can take away 18 years of pain one word from God listen the Lord starts telling me to begin to declare over my womb and I got one word from God not only did I have one baby naturally I had four babies natural I said now you didn't have to make that thing a revolving door after you had me Barren for so long but one word one word some of you are just one word away you just you just want scripture search away you just you just you just throw up a one right here you in volleyball when when they're getting ready to serve and and it's the last point and you think you're gonna win everybody on the team stick up one you know why because when it happens everybody know we win and we go crazy so listen some of you are just one away you sitting there watching the violin you sitting there watching the ball go back and forth and you just waiting on your time to celebrate you are one word away that's why I don't care come hell or high water nothing can keep me at the church do you understand me I don't care my grandma used to say you know they say don't go child at church pay cousin pastors take your tires and offers and they buy a Cadillac and they buy all this my grandma said I don't care what they do I give because that's what the Lord say if they do something wrong with my money that's between them and God but I do what God say cause listen you are one word away you think that's gonna keep me at the church you say cause listen I won't bypass her to prosper I don't know about you I'm just saying me I want my pastor to profitable I don't want my past to be out here looking crazy but that's me one more one word one word and you can straighten up you've given it too many years you've given it enough time you ain't got nothing to prove to nobody you know what she did that woman got up and the Bible says that she began to praise God listen how can you praise God when you have been down for 18 years dealing with the spirit because I know he killed as I was walking as I was stumbling as I was falling over as I was tripping over my own feet as my vision was obscure and in that he kept my intact and then the leader said what you're doing on a Sabbath you can come here six other days and get that healing she's been coming for 18 years what's happening because some people have benefited from you being in your condition they like you being dependent on them and if you're a person like me somebody do one thing for me and my kids I'm paying and she pay me people have benefited off of your Brokenness cause I pay to make you stand even when you leave me wrong when I pay to make your state cause it's better than being lonely because my vision is already obscure because I'm double over so I do anything to make you stay foreign just one word you know what's the beautiful part about this text and I'm about to close right here this was the last public miracle Jesus did at the end of his tenure of preaching chose to do it with a woman six everything God made at the beginning of Genesis he called it good until he saw the man was alone he said that's not good I got to make him a help me I believe that there's something special that comes on the mind of God when it concerns women all the Miracles he did he had about six more months left they was on this Trail they was they they wasn't liking him you know they was getting mad about what he was doing he took the last he was waiting to get set and volleyball the girls stand like this right here and everybody got their hand up and everybody is waiting to see what happened and the Lord was just standing there saying man I came to this service and he looked down and he said I see the one I believe tonight let's stand right here I believe tonight that the Lord sees you I don't care how long you felt down I don't feel care how long you feel shame I don't care how long you felt embarrassment You Know The Enemy will really make you feel like when you come in church like if somebody just look your way it's like oh they talking about me they ain't thinking about you because that's what the enemy wants to do because he want to keep you out of the synagogue because he don't want you to get your one word that's going to change your life so if he can do anything to push you out the door and this is the thing some of you here in body but your mind ain't here you show up because that's what you was taught to do I did it for years that's why and pay my tithes and was a sin and fornicator because it was what I was taught to do as a religious spirit but I showed up in a service one night and the mother said to me you gonna preach to the Nations she said I don't care what you saw but tonight we're gonna fill you with the Holy Ghost [Music] I've been getting a call on the name of Jesus I've always loved God but something happened 13 years old I'll never forget [Music] I was in the service to sing and I was only there because I thought the organist was cute song my little song and I'm giving my little eyes at the organist like my grandma gonna break my neck baby if she catch these looks [Music] and she said you [Music] you don't understand it now but one day you'll be traveling the world doing Ministry there will be some things that you will face but remember God is all always with there is not a place you can go to escape his love for you went off to college grew up in a little country town on a farm you had to drive to my neighbor I hadn't never seen nothing I was raising a bubble got to a HBCU it was like what [Music] I would be trying to get ready to go to the club and not be sitting there singing Every Praise walk and my roommate was like you know what don't even worry about it we don't even want you to go we don't even want you to go like y'all they started calling me auntie very young we don't even want you to go everything I tried to do I couldn't fit in and I tried but there was a different conviction and I couldn't understand it but the Lord took me back to that word in my dorm room at Alabama a m in Huntsville Alabama he said if you give this up and you preach the gospel gospel I'll always be with you you're gonna have to give up some stuff my grandfather died I couldn't even ride in the family car because I'm a female preacher but serving the lord you can never go wrong I may have had to give up a lot of stuff but what I've gain is far greater than anything I've ever lost and so when I found myself doubled over like the woman I found myself in that dorm room crying y'all as a 19 year old I had the biggest campus ministry that college has ever seen they still have not done it and I've been out of there for 25 26 years from college I'm not saying that to brag I'm saying this when you call down and you get that one word from God all you can do is lift your hands right here right here right here she went from this to this to this what she didn't know that her ailment was already putting her in a posture of worship I don't know how you all worship here but at my church we get down like this and we begin to worship matter of fact right now while I'm here they're having a night of worship that just intercessors We Don't Preach we just pray for two hours we have intercessors there and we come and stretch out in the flow and we thank God for his goodness cause listen there comes a point where you just have to stretch out because I've been through too much some things I can only get on my knees some things I can only get down here on my knees people will say I ain't never seen no first lady get in while they're in the flow like that I said listen he's been too good he's been too good I ain't got to fake it for nobody he's been too good you've been bent down long enough now this is your posture for the rest of your life right here one word come on let's just worship right here he's a praise team I don't even know come on let's just worship right here come on if you can just give me just something to worship right here right here come on you gotta make this one personal this one right right here is between you and God you will find yourself like I did in the floor of my dorm room crying out to God saying god listen if you get me out of this I'll serve you for the rest of my life [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] oh Jesus [Music] oh Jesus [Music] look at me [Music] it's me it's Jesus it's me Jesus Christ [Music] although the altar is open come on and you want to come down and we just make it the moment with you and God I hope I'm not out of order but the answer is open come on if you wanna come and kneel right here and let God say whatever it is that he needs to say to you because you're just one word away [Music] [Applause] [Music] one word away [Music] [Music]
