When Mama Cries

As our hands are lifted in the house, I believe it would be in order if we would worship God from our hearts. Come on. in reverence of the spirit of God that's in this room. Can you lift up your voice to a God that still reigns, to a God that's still supreme, to a God that's still worthy to be worshiped. Be it all glory and honor, majesty and power, dominion, both now and forever. Come on, lift up your voice and thank God for his presence. Woo! Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Come on. We worship him because we're reverencing his presence. We love you, Jesus. God, we love you with our lips, but we love you more with our heart. I wonder if you can turn that reverence of worship into a praise and praise God all across the house. Oh yeah. Come on. From the front to the back, from corner to corner. Can you praise God and tell them, "Lord, I thank you for your glory. I thank you for your provision. I thank you for your power, your grace, your truth, your mercy. Hallelujah, Jesus. Hallelujah, Jesus. Thank you, Lord." Amen. And it feels good in the house in the presence of the Lord. Anybody glad to be in church on a Tuesday night? Come on. Anybody really grateful to be in God's house on a Tuesday night? There is nothing mundane about this midweek service tonight. And I in understanding of your feet, I do not want you to labor long. And so I want to quickly quickly bring us to the prophetic words of the prophet Isaiah the 54th chapter, the 1st through the 3rd verse, and also be bringing you to Galatians 4:es 26 and 27. And in your turn, while your fingers are finding those scriptures, I want to say how how humbled and honored and grateful I am to be back after a long long long time be back at the Rock Church of Elkrove. Anybody thank God for your church? I wish some home folks would say and thank God for this pavilion of protection. Amen. There's no place There's no place like the church that God has placed you in. And I honor this church. This church has has great has great and renowned respect all across this movement. And that is bipartisan and that is by way of impeccable impeccable leadership. And I I'm not saying this just out of formality, but I wish you would thank God every day that your eyes open for the leadership that God has given you. Come on, anybody thank God for a shepherd? Anybody thank God for a watchman? Anybody thank God? And among all of these these ministers that are that are incapaced about us tonight, I want to honor the bishops. You don't it's like a chess board. You got two bishops. You got Bishop Wilson and you got Bishop Young. You don't get any better than that. You don't get any better than that. And I honor I honor your pastor and his family. Anybody thank God for the youngs? Anybody thank God for your pastor? Come on. And I I truly appreciate his sensitivity. You have no idea how difficult it was for for me to make a phone call as I did. But the urgency, the urgency that I felt to be here before this year ended, the

seasonality and the convergence of tonight was so heavy and still is enough for me to call him and I appreciate him being sensitive tonight. Anybody ready to hear God speak to us? I'm going to make a disclaimer. If you're visiting tonight, Rock Church, I hope we let the visitors know we are so glad you are here. Come on. If you still believe in revival and harvest and increase and in Come on, anybody thank God. There's some more souls that's going to be saved in the last day. If you're visiting tonight, I want you to forgive me a four time. God has put a word in my spirit directly for this church and the churches that are tethered to this body. And so I believe God is still going to move on you tonight. At least that's my prayer. But I do not want you to let this word or me, a visitor, stop you from coming back to what I believe is going to be your new church home. Come on. Anybody believe that by faith? You just going to Come on. You won't be visiting. I'm just visiting. You won't be visiting anymore. Isaiah 54 and one, the prophetic utterance of the prophet of God begins to ring and echo into the wind of the spirit. And the prophet said, "Sing, O baron, thou that didest not bear. Break forth into singing and cry aloud, thou that didest not travail with child." He said, "For many are the children of the desolate, more are the children of the desolate than the children of the married wife, said the Lord." He said, "Enlarge, enlarge the place of thy tent." Somebody look at your neighbor and said, "Make room." Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine inhabitants. Spare not. Lengthen thy cords and strengthen thy stakes. My God, I feel the Holy Ghost in this room. He said, "For thou shalt definitively, thou shalt thou shalt break forth on the right hand and on the left, and thy seed shall inherit the Gentiles, and the desolate cities shall be inhabited." And Paul is looking backward at the prophecies that were looking forward. And Paul in Galatians 4 and 26 begins to pinpoint begins to pinpoint my God. And he says, "But Jerusalem which is above is free." I want you to hone in on this this stanza in particular. which is the mother of us all. Somebody shout, "Mama." I'm just a southern boy from Louisiana. I'm country. I can't help it. Don't let this suit fool you. Mother is proper. I'm going to say mama, which is the mother of us all. And he began to quote Isaiah by saying, "For it is written, rejoice, thou barren that beest not. Break forth and cry." Somebody shout, "Cry." Come on, say it again out loud. Cry. Break forth and cry. Thou that travalest not for the desolate hath many more children than she which hath an husband. Before before we unfold what God is wanting to tell us, I I feel the need to say this as a qualifier. The prophetic rules the political. I wish somebody in the house still believes in the internal realm. The eternal still rules the temporary in so much that the reigning ruling sitting king by the name of Herod who was in position in his seat on the throne

politically locked as king. If the political does not fear the prophetic, then why would Herod shake and tremble at the voice and the sound of a prophecy being fulfilled that unto us a child is born and unto us a son is given and the government shall be upon his shoulders. And so I'm saying that to say this tonight. You may you may feel you may feel the urge to check your phones tonight to get an update on the temporary realm. But if you've got some promises that you've been praying about and you've got some prophecies you're holding on to and you've got some prayers you need answered, I pray you would resist the urge to stay tethered to the temporal. But I wonder if you would lift up your hands to the eternal. Come on. If you believe God can work a miracle in this room tonight, I want you to lift up your voice. Come on. I wish a sound would ring in this sanctuary. Come on. Sound of travail, a cry that's allowed until something begins to break into the spirit realm. Lord, I'm asking you that you would ascend in this room and that you would touch my tongue and that your fingertips would move upon my feeble flesh. God, I'm a hear obedience to your voice. And I'm asking that every word that would leave my lips would press into the realms of time tonight. And that the supernatural would shake this sanctuary and the only name of Jesus Christ. Hey, come on. Lift up your voice. Woo! Come on. I feel somebody that's been praying a long time. Come on. There's a promise that's about to start breaching the womb tonight in the name of Jesus. Come on. There's a prayer list that's been long and lingering, but the hand of God is about to start scratching it off the list on a Tuesday night service in Elkrove, California. Come. I wish you would clap your hands if you believe that promises can still be fulfilled. Oh, I feel Come on. I I see tears streaming down your face already. Come on. There's a prophetic utterance that's about to be released. And I pray your spirit is ready to receive it. I pray your heart has the capacity to hold it. God, let my heart hold your words. let my mind receive your spirit. let my soul God hear. Let my soul hear your word. I want to preach from this thought. When mama cries, when mama cries, somebody clap your hands one more time. Come on. If you feel the Holy Ghost, I feel right now. Come on. You ought to start putting some stuff in your mind and said, "Lord, it's been a long time." But I'm asking you, Lord, if there was a chance it can be answered tonight. Come on. If there was a chance, you can respond to my tears tonight. Amen. God bless you. The fear of God, you may be seated tonight in Jesus name. When mama cries, somebody shout mama. I want you to give me just a small window of space and time to make this case tonight make sense. Before I make it make sense, I want to I want to take a survey tonight to determine if there is anybody in the room that has been praying for a promise that has been longstanding and you've asked God to fulfill it and it is still yet to come to pass. I want you to lift your hand tonight. Oh God, keep it lifted. If you are still praying for a prayer that you've put on the prayer list, I want you to lift your other hand

tonight. I believe that this room can testify that this word is necessary. Thank you for lifting your hands as I believe that God has divinely orchestrated the convergence of a spiritual nexus in this room tonight. And I want you to understand something about the prophetic. Anybody still believes in prophecy? I want you to understand two framings of the prophetic. The first thing to understand about prophecy, somebody shout prophecy. The first thing to understand about prophecy is that prophecy is conditional. Prophecy is conditional. The terms and the conditions are are waning upon the one on whom the prophecy is bestowed. That's the condition. The second framing of prophecy. Somebody shout prophecy. The second framing of prophecy is that prophecy is definitive. I wish somebody would grab a hold of that one. Prophecy is definitive. Which means that at the moment that a prophetic word is uttered, at the moment that a promise is born, it must it shall it will come to pass. And I've come I've come to preach about that definitive nature of the prophetic because when you marry the condition and the definition of prophecy, what you get is a very intense moment in time. Bear with me. I I'm going I'm going to make this case clear tonight. you get a very intense moment in time. I would venture to believe that everybody that waves your hand at me tonight, wave one more time if you've got a promise in the room., everybody in this room can point to the day, to the time to the seat, to the place that you may have been standing, the moment that your ears heard a word, the prophet walked by, the word came to your heart and that is why you still believe it. because it was intense at the time that you heard that something was going to be born. like Elizabeth hearing a salutation and Mary hearing the salutation of John that a baby was going to be born. All of a sudden something begins to shake within them. Oh, I wish somebody that still remembers that day. and you tell I wish somebody would said, "God, I haven't forgot that day. I remember it like it was yesterday. I still got it in my back pocket., and I still been holding on just waiting for the day. Oh, I wish somebody I wish somebody would rekindle a remembrance right now., I still remember what the preacher said., I still remember what the Come on. Anybody remember that day? There's an intense moment of time that happens in the moment and the moment of emphasy of a prophecy. But that's not the only time that a prophecy brings intensity. The only other time the prophecy has the most intense nature, Sister Young, is when is when the prophecy is on the brink of fulfillment. Boy, I feel the Holy Ghost. I said the moment that the prophecy is about to be fulfilled is when things become more intense than they've ever been. And you don't understand what that means or what that sounds like until you begin to understand the words of Isaiah. cuz I can see him rocking back and forth and the prophetic spirit of God gets a hold of his tongue and he begins to utter words that he does not even know of what he's saying as he begins to speak of a time that the married wife of Jehovah was going to be restored in the land of promise and he begins to sing a word and a song of the spirit and he said sing O baron Oh, I wish somebody still believe in singing. He said, "Sing, O baron, thou that didest not bear." Let him see it if you don't mind. He said, "Break forth into singing and cry aloud." Somebody shout, "Cry out loud and cry aloud, thou that didest not bear, and thou that didest not travail with child." He said, "For more are the

children of the desolate than the children of the married wife." He had no idea what he's saying. What words are flowing from his lips? He does not understand the weight by the wheelbanks of this prophecy that's in his mouth. He has no idea what words are leaving his lips. And you don't understand how volatile these words are. Can I preach like I feel like this thing is in my spirit? I've come to tell this church, we ought to not believe that God's church is a choir church. Oh, I'm going to say it on a on a Tuesday night like it's a Sunday night. Hey, we're still an hour running church. we're still a foot stumping church. we're still a tongue-talking church. we're still a chandelier swinging church. We're still a sing out loud, cry out loud, weep out loud, pray out loud. I wish somebody would lift up your voice on a Tuesday night. Come on. I wish you would lift it out out loud on a Tuesday night. You have no idea. You have no idea the volatility of this until you understand the power. My God, I feel your glory. The power of these words. Anybody still hearing me? You don't understand the power of the prophetic looking forward until you understand the revelation of this prophecy looking backwards. And the revelation of this prophecy looking back backwards is as Paul becomes a witness, testifying witness, a testifying witness of this prophecy. As he begins to pinpoint where this prophecy is born, he said, "But Jerusalem," somebody shout, "Jerusalem." Jerusalem. But Jerusalem, which is above, is free, which is the mother of us all. Now, I if if you if you've got a bone in your body that believes in the Holy Ghost, this is the moment that this thing ought to click in your spirit. Isaiah 53, he's talking about Jesus Christ being crucified. Anybody thankful for the blood? Come on, anybody thankful for Calvary? Come on, anybody thankful that your sins were washed away? Come on, anybody thankful for the spirit that came. But as you turn the page from Calvary, Isaiah begins to prophesy of a sound from a mother. A sound and a cry not from any mother, but from Israel itself. Because until this point before before the death of the testator, Jerusalem, Israel itself had no true converts. if you look back in time at the moment of Israel's infasy you cannot attest to any converts, any children, any disciples that were born from Israel. I know I'm taking my time, but I hope your ears are still listening. Israel had no revival. Israel had no harvest. Israel had no increase. They were the born blood by lineage that God called them to be the chosen people stamped by his name and qualified by his spirit. but God said the day of barrenness is coming to an end. I wish somebody would hear me in the Holy Ghost. He said the day of barrenness is coming to an end. He said there's coming a time that even the increase of the stranger will not be enough. he said but there's coming a time that mama is going to begin to travail. because she has not had children yet. I feel God's spirit. and he said even further than this he said what you must do Israel is you must begin to enlarge your place of your dwelling. you must lift your cords and you must strengthen your stakes. he said because things are about to get radical. and things are about to start shaking. and things are about to start breaking. and they're going to break forth on the right hand. and they're going to break forth on the left hand. Oh, I know you're not excited yet, but I'm going to keep on preaching. You said, "Preacher, why would I be excited about that prophecy?" I'll tell you why you need to be excited about that prophecy. because that prophecy is a Pentecostal prophecy. Oh, I wish I had somebody believe in Pentecost in the room.

It is a Pentecostal prophecy because what Isaiah does not know he's talking about and he does not know what he's declaring what he is saying in the realm of the spirit he is speaking of a day in which at Jerusalem at Jerusalem children are going to be born. I got somebody on the screen right now. I'm about to make it make sense for somebody on a Tuesday night. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, I'm going to say it for a third time so you can let it get in your spirit., and when the day of Pentecost was fully come, You said, "Preacher, I'm trying to follow you." Well, can you follow the terms of maternity and know that what Isaiah was prophesying about was the day that a mother's womb begins to feel something down deep and she knows that a baby's on the way but before that baby can be born there's a time of mriculation and there's a time of maturation that at the time that the prophecy is born there's a day that comes there's a day that comes there's a day that comes comes that everything that's been bound up in the womb. I wish somebody would hear me right now. I said there comes a day that everything that's been bound up in the womb it has to come out. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost right now., I said everything you've been praying for,, I said everything you've been fasting for,, I said everything you've been believing for,, once it's in the womb has got to come. I wish somebody would lift up your voice right now. Come on. I wish somebody would throw up your hands like you believe that. Oh, I feel the holy hand of God right now. He said, "When the day of Pentecost was fully come, when Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all." He said, "There was a day that mama be to cry. And you cannot bear children." I need a witness from the mamas in the household. You cannot bear children. you cannot bring forth offspring you cannot bring forth the life that has been growing and developing and stretching and moving within you without there being a cry of travail and the Bible says that when the day of Pentecost was fully come they were all in one place they were all in a tent they were all in a room and one accord and suddenly there was a down. No, you're not hearing what I'm telling you. I said there comes a moment that things that have been born beneath you things that have been bred in you prayers that have been prayed over you there comes a moment that things begin to shake. I wish somebody would hear me. And when things begin to shake, there comes a sound. There comes a cry., there comes a noise. Somebody shout cry. It comes a cry that comes from beneath. Can I tell somebody that in the moment in the moment that you hear the prophecy, that's the easy part. That's the That's the easy part. Anybody remember that day? There's nothing like getting news that a baby's about to be born. There's nothing like the moment you can point back to the moment that you hear that there's about to be an increase. But ladies and gentlemen, can I give you a word on a Tuesday night? If there's about to be an increase, you've got to make a move like there's about to be an increase. Oh, I wish somebody would hear me right now. I said, "You've got to make a move. You've got to start making plans. You need to start making arrangements. you need to start getting things in order. and that's why the prophet said, if there's about to be a baby born, you've got

to start enlarging the place of your dwelling. you've got to start making Oh, I wish somebody would hear me yet. I know you've been praying for another job. but you ain't changed your resume yet. Oh, wish somebody would hear me on a Tuesday night., you can be praying about a new househ. But if your faith is going to move God,, you've got to start moving stuff in the tent. Oh, you're not hearing what I'm telling you., you've got to start making some room., you got to stretch out the curtains., you've got to lift out the cords. you've got to drive you've got to drive the stakes a little deeper and said I'm praying more than I've ever prayed. I'm reaching more than I've ever reached. I'm giving more than I ever gave. Come on. I wish somebody would do some stretching. Come on. I wish somebody would do some stretching. I'm stretching my fast day. I'm stretching my study time. I'm stretching my belief system. I'm stretching my faith. But all of that is not why I'm here. That organ sounds good, but I really want them to hear this one. That's not why I'm here. Because a prophecy sounds good, but the time of waiting doesn't feel good. Oh God, I need your help right now. Come on. Anybody still in the waiting period right now? I said the time of hearing the word feels good. But everybody talks about the pregnancy but nobody wants to bring up the pain because there is no pregnancy in the womb of a woman where the Boston things the enlarging there's a stretch and there's an unease and it starts it starts weighing on you and it gets harder and harder. to keep carrying that promise. And you saying, "Lord, I'm tired of waiting. I just want to see the revival. I'm tired of waiting. I just want to see the promise." come on. There's not a mom in this room that when that baby's growing inside of you, you can't wait for the day that all the pains end. you can't wait for the day that all the imbalance ends. you're just waiting for the moment that you can release it and you can hold your promise in your hand. But I come to tell somebody, you can't hold the promise if you don't hold on to the promise. I'mma say it again right now. Don't you give up on making sure that baby's full term. You let God do it when he does it. you let God release it when he says so. and when the day is fully come, and when the day is fully come, and when the day Oh, somebody's this close. Oh, I hear it walking into the room right now. I said somebody's this close. I said somebody's this close. I want you to lift your hands in the house. The Holy Ghost is about to release a word in this room. Come on. I know you've been carrying it. I know it's been weighing on you. I know it's been weighing on your shoulders. I know the weight is heavy. I know the weight of time is hard. but I've come to prophesy to somebody. you've got to let God fulfill it. because the day is near. come on. The time is close. come on. I know you've been waiting a whole long time. come on. Don't don't rush to the womb. is ready., come on. You got to let God do it in his time., you've got to let God fulfill it in his mouth., I've I've come to tell somebody,, there comes a moment that you've got to let a cry come out. Oh. Oh. I remember the days of all that men and women that were bearing a promise will walk in the prayer room and said, "God, I know you said it.

God, I know you declared it. and I'm not leaving this room until I feel a release in the spirit., I'm not leaving this floor until I feel fruitfulness in my spirit., I'm not leaving. There comes a time at the honeymoon and the happiness is over. and happiness can soon turn in the morning. I pray somebody will hear me this in the Holy Ghost. I'm trying not to look in the crowd tonight because there are more people reaching for tissue right now than you can even imagine. You said, "Preacher, I I thought you were talking about the goodness of prophecy and the beauty of promise." Yes, I'm talking about all of that. But can I tell you before the promise can be born before the prophecy can be fully come there must be a pain and a travail. And this is what happens. This is what happens as Rachel the mother of Israel has Rachel that gives birth to the children of Israel. The Bible declares in Genesis 35 and 16 that she is journeying from Bethl. And the Bible says that she came to a certain place. Huh? She came to a certain place. Not any place, Bishop, but the Bible calls this place Ephrath or translated Epherta. And Epherta is translated as fruitful. but that's not the only definition of Epherta. And not only does it mean fruitful because that's what we love. but it also means the place of mourning and this is the convergence of condition and def and definition. this is the moment that the prophecy is meeting the pain. God I feel your glory. And the Bible says as Rachel feels children the firstborn of Israel in her womb what she's feeling is a pain is a pain down deep. And now Benjam is about to be born, the last of the children of Israel. And the Bible says that Rachel begin to travail, break forth and cry aloud and travail. And the Bible says that her labor was hard. Can I tell somebody right now on a Tuesday night while you feel the way you feel? Because I come to remind you that before the prophecy is fulfilled, the labor is hard. Anybody hear me on a Tuesday night? I come to preach to somebody that you've been putting more on the Jubilee offering than you ever put. and you've depleted your resources and you've stressed yourself thin. and you've given all of your time and you've given all of your energy and you've given all of your efforts. Well, I just come to tell somebody,, welcome to labor and the intensive care unit., welcome to the beginning,, of a promise about to breach the womb., welcome to the beginning,, of God about to do a work., welcome to Oh, I wish somebody would grab a hold of what I'm telling you., I've come to remind the Rock Church,, in Elkrove,, that labor is hard,, but it's worth it., Bible studies is hard., but it's worth it., outreach is hard., but it's labor., it's labor., it's labor., but except the Lord build the house., the labor be in vain. Oh, I wonder if there's anybody got a push in your spirit., I wonder if there's anybody got a press in your spirit., I wonder if there's anybody saying,, whatever I've got to do,, I've got to get this baby out. Whatever I've got to do,, I've got to get this promise out. I just want to know, hands up. If you got a promise, play slowly. I'm I'm done. Anybody got a promise you holding on to? That's the easy question. Do you have what it takes to endure momentary pain and stretching? Momentary intense volatility. There's some hardworking men you have not even told your wife

yet. that the numbers you've been adding up in your income is not making sense and you don't know how in the world God promised you an increase and you're not seeing it in the income. But I've come to tell somebody, the stretching brings the supernatural. I wish I had some mamas in the in the house. The pain will be worth it all. I want you to stand with me across this house as I begin to walk into what God put in my spirit. about this church. Not going to act like it's a secret that this church is on the precipice of every paradigm shifting point of Pentecost. not going to act like this church is not definitively visual about vision, about direction, about about the prophetic. But can I talk to the rock church tonight? What you don't know is the cost and the weight of the womb of the mother. Because that prophecy about Jerusalem bringing forth children, it did not just affect Jerusalem. I know. I know you think you said, "Preacher, you're just tying strings." No, no, no, no, no. He said, "And you shall break forth on the right hand, and on the left, and thy seed shall be the inhabitants of the Gentiles." He said there's going to be children born from mama that's going to be spread in Judea. It's going to be spread in all the uttermost parts of the earth. But what you don't know is that before that baby is born, the younger, if you don't mind grabbing the mic for me, before that baby is born, I'm going to help somebody in the Holy Ghost tonight. You start feeling some stuff beneath the surface. your biological makeup if you're a woman is I just I'm just here to remind a social culture that women only have children. Yeah. I thought I'll get a loud loud loud hand of clap right there. Something starts happening in that mama. She doesn't even know where it comes from. She doesn't even know how it starts. She doesn't even know what she's feeling. But at the moment that her body begins to sense instinctually that something's about to happen. Anybody feel that? Yeah. You don't even know what it is, but you know something's about to happen. I wish somebody was nodding your head in faith right now. You don't even know what day is going to show up on your doorstep. Oh, but I just feel like something. Oh, I wish I had an oldtimer that can sing an old song. I just feel like something good is about to happen. I feel it in my hands. I feel it in my feet. They might be swelling, but I feel it

anyway. And that mama starts moving. That mama starts shaking. That mama starts disturbing everything around her. That mama starts getting ready. And what Isaiah is prophesying about, you don't even know how biological the Bible really is. He said, "Enlarge the place of thy tent." Hear me. Says, "Straight stretch forth the curtain. That flap on your tent. You go on make that flap. You need to get some more extensions on that on that curtain. Watch this. Because there's something that happens in women just before the baby is born. There's one single word. It's called nesting. Any mas any mamas in the house know what I'm talking about? Oh yeah. Your husband thought you lost your mind. You just Hang on there, brother. I'm going to tell you what's been going on. If there's any if is there any expectant mamas in the room? Anybody? Anybody expecting children right now? We got one in the back. Oh yeah, we got one. We got a few more. I just come to tell you there's about to be more than that. There's about to be some babies born. I've I've asked your pastor to help me read this because you might not believe me if I read it and you might not believe the Bible, but you may believe in Webster. Nesting. Tell them what nesting is. Nesting is described Yes. as an expecting mother's overwhelming urge. Yeah. To clean Yeah. and organize her place of dwelling prior to the birth of her child. Oh, you're not hearing what he's telling you. He said, "All of a sudden, the mama that knows that the thing I've been holding for months,, the thing I've been carrying for weeks,, the thing I've been waiting to see and wipe my baby's tears, and my carrobo, come on. If you're holding on to a promise, I'm preaching to you., something starts happening in the realm of the invisible.", that baby you haven't seen yet., she starts making room for it., she starts cleaning up the house., she starts organizing. Come on. Oh, I wish somebody would hear me., she starts walking around the house and said, "I've got to get ready., I've got to get ready. I wish somebody would walk out of your pew right now., that's your queue., I've got to start get I I feel I feel something in the spirit. I feel something in the hallelujah. Oh, they got no more. That ain't all read that second sentence for him. The nesting instinct is strongest in the later weeks coming upon delivery. Not months, weeks. Say you not four months and then comes a harvest. Oh, but I wish there was some laborers that believed in labor in the vineyard. He said, "Oh, you've been looking for months, but I come to tell somebody, there's about to be a promise born much sooner than you think it is. There's about to be some prophecies fulfilled in this church and they're going to start happening so fast. I come to tell somebody, you better get ready that it won't surprise you. you better get ready that it don't catch you off guard. you better start doing some stuff. you ought to read that last sentence. It is an old wives tale that once nesting urges begin, labor is about to come on. You notice what it did not say? It did not say the baby's about to be born. It says when you started doing everything to get things in order is when things get more intense. I want somebody to lift your hands right now. Oh,

Rabaha. I've come I've come to release a definitive word to this church that you have no idea. You cannot comprehend why your house is so volatile, why your family is being stretched so far. But I've come to tell you the reason why is because the Rock Church of Elkrove is mother to many children. I have prayed and I have no idea if your pastor has even expressed this publicly out of fear of how it would sound, but I've heard his voice in prayer. I've heard him talking to God privately and saying, "God, I have not held I withheld my best people from you. I have not withheld the best people I have worked, trained, groomed from you. I've heard him tell God, God, you've got to work quickly because I don't even know if I have enough people to send out anymore. But I come to tell somebody that when there's a stretching of resources and there's pain from mama, babies are about to be born. I want all the minister and brethren if you are If you are a recognized minister of this church, I want you to make your way to the front of this pull pit. I want you to line across the front. Bishop, brother Young, if you don't mind, come come if you if you young ladies and young men would make room that the ministering brother brethren would stand on this floor in the front. Brother Antoine Irvin, where are you? I want you to come stand right here in the middle. I do not believe that it is an accident. Brother Irvin here, you ministering brethren, I want you to stand on either side of brother Iran evenly. If you can disperse yourselves evenly on either side, his right and his left, the right hand and the left hand. Come on. Come on. We're making an image tonight. Come on. Bishop, pastor, I want you to come stand behind brother Irvin. Before we even sing a song tonight, I want you to hear I want you to hear this. Anybody felt like things have been more volatile than they've ever been? You felt you feel the intensity. Come on, wave your hand if you know what I'm talking about, what I've been preaching about. You feel it. You feel it. You're stretched so thin. You You say, "Lord, I don't know if I can believe this anymore. I'm praying. I got Lord, if you don't do it quickly, I don't know if I have the faith to keep believing." You have to understand the stages of labor to understand the stages of revival. There's two definitive stages of labor. Somebody shout, "Labor." Labor. The first stage of labor has three phases. Three phases of labor. The first phase is early labor. Somebody shout early labor. That's the emphasis stage. Things are just getting good. Things are just getting incubated. Things are just getting started. God, I know you're going to do it. God, I know you're going to do it. I know you're going to do it. That's the stage where a church is planted. That's the that's the stage when a vision is cast and things are just beginning. Then there's active labor. And active labor is when a church is going through growing pains. You start losing people. Things start families families start start feeling the weight and the friction. Things start moving and

pulsating. things are more active than they've ever been. But the third phase is transition. Somebody shout transition. Transition. Transition is the closest point to a baby being born. It's the point that you have done everything you can possibly do. Anybody been holding on? I I I hope the Holy Ghost would move into this room right now. I have prayed everything I can pray. I have fasted. I have consecrated. I have wept. I have cried. And it is when the mother is the weakest and all the stages of labor. But that phase of transition comes with posturing and position. Brother Antoine is not here right here in the middle for no reason. I want I want you to hear me right now. What he represents. What he represents is the beginning of the breaching of the womb of promise that God has for every daughter work that's attached to this church. God has sent him here on purpose. This ain't about him. But I want you to hear what I'm telling you right now. and with the spirit of the midwives. I understand these men are not women definitively. Don't be ignorant in thinking that. I'm I'm preaching in the spirit right now. There comes a pulsating. There comes a cry and there comes one final point in the spirit realm before a promise is fulfilled. If you are praying, I want you to hear me right now in the Holy Ghost. I was in a service recently and I felt the same urgency and there were 19 confirmed miracles, some incur incurable diseases cured in one service. I believe it can happen tonight. Oh, I wish somebody would get ready in your spirit. I wish somebody would get ready. Come on. Come on. I haven't been holding on to this prayer for nothing. I haven't been holding on to this promise for nothing. Lord, I haven't tucked away this prophecy in my heart. Come on. Mary hid it in her heart. Come on. She observed the saying because there's about to be a sign given. I want you to hear this and I'm done. We're going to pray, but we're not going to pray as normal. Before you open up your mouth, I want you to lift your hands first, both as as high as you can lift them. I want you to reach to heaven. And these ministering brethren, with your hands lifted, I wish you would lock hands with the minister next to you. Come on. As the hands are lifted, I want you to lock hands with the minister next to you. Come on. The Holy Ghost. Come on. In the name of Jesus. Come on. I want you to put it in your mind. It's been on the prayer list long enough. Come. I want you to take it from your list and put it in your heart. And out of the abundance of the heart, I wish you would open up your mouth in the name of Jesus. Come on. I wonder if there would be a cry and a travail and a sound. Come on, mama. Come on, mama.

I wish somebody would press your way through the crowd and push your way through the pain. and if you need physical healing in your body tonight, I wish you would find one of these ministers and tap them on the shoulder and I wish you would grab them by the hand and call for the elders of the church and say, "Lay your hands on me that my body may be healed. lay your hands on me that my infirmity may be touched. come on God. I pray Lord that you will release the pain. I pray Lord that you will release the infirmity. I pray Lord that you remove. Come on. Pain's leaving in the name of Jesus. I've been praying for too long.

When a baby's breaching a wombuh, all she cares about is getting her eyes on the prophetic., getting her eyes on the baby. Come on, put some names on your prayers right now. Come on, rebuke the diagnosis right now. What you bind on earth is bound in heaven. What you loose on earth is loose in heaven. Come on.

Come on. I said, "Where are the weepers?" Oh. Oh, I'm going to tell somebody like that midwife told Rachel,, "Fear not, for there's a child coming., fear not.
