As the dawning of the day moves us from darkness to light. So will the entrance of God's word lighten up your life. Stay tuned for the teaching ministry of Charlotte Father, as she presents this life with Brinny Tullai Ministries. Today is your day for victory into Jesus.
A good day to you and I'm glad that you have tuned into our program bringing to light ministry. Always a joy to be with you. You know, I always start my program today's your day for victory in Jesus, but I decree it can be. No matter what we face or what we have to deal with, we have the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
He bought and He paid the way for you and me to have life and to have it more abundantly. So listen to Cree, let us declare victory, let's give him praise and glory and honor every moment that we can for victory that was brought through Jesus's death, but also through His resurrection. Aren't you glad about that today, praise God? We have a lot to be thankful for.
Well, as always, Shanti has got a special word for you. I want you to just lean in and listen carefully and let that word of God minister to you. Hello, I'm Shanti Hoffman. There was no greater love than the love from our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
You know, in John 3 16 says, God's to love the world that He gave His only son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life. In verse 17 it says that God did not come to condemn the world, but to come to love us and to give His life for us. We know in Romans in chapter 10 and verse 9 it says that if you confess with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved, for it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and is with your mouth that you confess that you are saved. God wants you to give your life to Him today.
Thank you so much. And there is nothing like knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord. He will give you that peace and that joy in your heart that you need, and it promises us that He will give us eternal life. And we know in Ephesians it says Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 8, where it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourself, it is the gift of God.
It's nothing that we can do in ourself and who we are, but this is a gift that God has given to us, that we can have eternal life, and it's by His grace and His love. Please pray a prayer with me today and ask Jesus to be your Lord and to be your Savior. Father, we come to you in Jesus' name. And Father, I come and I ask you to be my Lord, to be my Savior.
I ask you to cleanse me and purify me from all sin. I ask you to forgive me for anything all that I have done, and Lord, I ask you to come into my heart to be my Lord and to be my Savior. In Jesus' holy name, amen. We'll praise the Lord.
We know in verse 13 of Romans 9 it says, Call upon the Lord, and you will be saved. So as you have called upon the Lord today, I believe that you have received Jesus and you have saved, you have been saved, and that you will spend eternity in heaven with me. We'll praise the Lord. Please call or write to us and let us know what God has done for you today.
Thank you. The Word is always beautiful, isn't it? I'm so grateful that the Lord God Almighty gave to us, the written Word of God, the Bible. You know, Scripture says it's knowing the truth, which is the Word, that makes men and women free.
Freedom is in Christ. And most of you know I am a counselor in our church. And I've been doing this for many years now, and that's what I got my education in, but I don't mind saying this as well. When I went to school after I had a grandchild, I went back to school because I really felt God was leading me to do a lot of classes at Oral Roberts University, and I did those two correspondents, and I'm honored that God allowed me to do that.
But I really wanted a counseling degree because at the time I was having a lot of opportunities to preach, and God was using me in mighty ways, but I really wanted the principles of counseling. I knew there was so much to learn, and I knew that it would help me to be more effective in attacking those problems and things that we see, yes, right, in the body of Christ. But to do so from a counseling perspective, but then also bringing the Word of God that could bring freedom to a lot of people that were in bondage. That's what I thought would happen.
But the day I graduated, people would call him the church while in counseling. So anyway, that's where God has me for right now. I don't know how long, but I praise him for the opportunity to help individuals. So I want you to know counseling is important, but if it's outside the Bible, in other words, there are some people that have gone into the profession of being a counselor, but they're not allowed to speak scripture, they're not allowed to declare the name of Jesus.
Well, you know, for me, the way I see that, there's no hope for anybody outside Jesus Christ. He is the mighty counselor, and he wants to counsel through his people. So it's important to know, yes, the Word of God is what is important. The Word of God is what again will make people free from the bondages of wrong mindsets, maybe the way they were raised, some of the hurt, the pain they've experienced, even had a lady just very recently being abused by her mom.
And I mean, you know, just people that have such sad mind thoughts about themselves that keeps them in bondage. But again, when they can hear scripture, they can know truth, they can be free from what the enemy is attempting to do through those events of the past. I'm ministering to somebody right now. I don't know who you are, but you are bound to your past.
In fact, you're having dreams and you're even having visions of the things that happened to you. You know, in that day, you were the younger person and that person that was abusing you was the older person, and you felt like probably it was your fault because they would do what is right because they're an older person, and it has left you in a place of depression and oppression. It's affected your life in a lot of negative ways. But through the power of the name of Jesus, I take authority over every demon of hell that is attached itself to you.
I demand them to loose your mind. You loose their bodies in the name of Jesus. And Lord God, now I'm asking Father that their minds would be renewed to the Word of God. Father, where they have felt less than, they did not feel loved, they never believed, they could do anything right.
I break that mindset in the name of Jesus, and I decree the Word of the Lord over you that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you, and that you are the head and not the tail. You are above and not the name. You are blessed and you're going in and you're blessed and you're coming out. You don't have to be afraid.
And where the enemies told you you can't or you're not smart enough or you don't add up, that is a lie, and that's coming from the layer, the devil. So don't you receive that? You start using your mouth to decree and to declare who you are in Christ Jesus. And I want to say this, if you do not have the Scriptures that tell you who you are in Christ Jesus, you write to this ministry and I'll get those in the mail to you.
You have got to start speaking the Word of God. While we're here, I know that I dealt with some low self-esteem. You know, I was loved and cared for and my needs were met, but sometimes I didn't feel like I added up. I just didn't feel like I was enough.
Well, you know, we're not within ourselves. But when we are in Christ Jesus, not only do we add up, but we're more than enough through Jesus Christ. And so I found the Scriptures and they were given to me too along the way. And I looked in the mirror and I declared them.
I'd say, Charlotte, Father, you listen to me. And I would start declaring the promises of God over myself. And I want you to know with that my mind was renewed. This is not out of pride.
This is not out of look at me. But it's look who I am in Christ Jesus. He didn't leave me. And Scripture says, as a mere orphan, but I want you to know that he loved me.
When I ask him to come into my heart, he's never left me and he's never forsaken me. And he will never leave you nor forsake you. So give your alter Jesus Christ. Let your mind be renewed to the promises of God of who you are in Christ Jesus because Scripture says you are more than a conqueror through the Lord.
Amen. This is good. And I'm hoping that you have received those truths. We've been talking about preparing for revival.
We see in Scripture that revival is coming. And it surely is. We don't know when, but it's going to be a glorious day. But there are things that we need to be doing to position ourselves, I believe, for this last day revival.
Now with that in mind, I'm going to look at Hosea and chapter 5 and verse 15. I hope you have your Bible. You need to be marking them so that you can share these truths with others. That God says, I will go and return to my place until they acknowledge their offense or their sin and seek my face in their affliction or that that burdens their spirit.
They will seek me early. You know, it's a shame that people wait until they get into a difficult situation. They wait till tragedy knocks on their door and so many times are crying out to God. You know, if tragedy comes, obviously we want to cry out to God, but we should not wait till tragedy comes before we cry out to God.
You know, this is the reason we read the Scriptures about having clean hands and a pure heart. And we desire that and we need that. And this is something that we can come before God on a daily basis. If you're a fresh and new Lord Jesus, wash me in your blood.
Cleanse me Jesus from all unrighteousness, presenting your body as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable, which is your reasonable service. That's the reasonable service is to give God who you are. But I want you to know that when we sin, sin can separate us from the things that God doesn't mean he ever leaves us. When we're children of God, he still loves us and he cares for us.
But sin can open the door for the enemy to come in. I want to keep my life pure. I want to keep my life holy. And we serve a God who speaks.
You know, my children never had to wonder if I was displeased with something they said or did. I'd say, I love you enough. I'm going to tell you the truth. And I would share with them what Scripture might say or where I saw them going in the wrong direction.
I spoke to them. I didn't just, you know, fuss at them or when they were younger, give them a spanking. And they're looking at me like, what in the world did I do? And I counsel people like that.
You know, I was punished. But a lot of times I didn't even know what I was being punished for. I just wanted to try to please so I would not be punished. That's sad.
And that agrees my heart when I hear those kinds of things. But I want you to know God speaks. And you're going to know in your heart when you're missing the mark, when you're in sin, when you failed God, or you're motive was not pure and holy. He says, until they acknowledge their offense or their sin, Lord, I call this sin, forgive me, wash me in your blood, notice and seek my face.
Come to the Lord. We confess our sins to Jesus and it tells us that He is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from all in righteousness. In their affliction, in their affliction, they will seek me early. It's amazing how quick we can run to God when things are not going right.
Things aren't good. He is ready. His arms are open wide to us. But will we run to Him?
Will we seek His face? We saw in our last teaching, seek His breathing, the breath of God by His Holy Spirit. Now with that in mind, we're looking at chapter 6 again in Hosea. It says, come and let us return into the Lord.
The subject there is you. You come and let us notice that. Let us return into the Lord for He has torn and He will heal us. Or He will allow to be torn.
He will allow there to be trouble. And this is what kind of people, it's the people that have turned against God. It's the people that their motives are wrong when they are in sin. So it says, He has smitten and He will bind us up.
Now again, smitten, we know that Jesus came to give life and to give it more abundantly. The Theek come is not but for to steal and to destroy. When people are in sin, it can again open the door for the enemy to come in and to do these kinds of things. But notice the second verse.
After two days, we'll He revives. Notice the word revive. In the third day, He will raise us up and we shall live in His sight. I love this verse.
But notice after two days, now if you'll remember the passages as a day as a thousand years. So if it's two days, what would that be? It's going to be two thousand, right? Well here we are at this year.
We're beyond two thousand, but we know that we're in that area or that arena of time. So if you will again, after two thousand years, we'll He revives. I am advocating that there is revival coming. I believe just right of honest.
I really, really do. We're already in the second day and we had this promise. God, you said you would revive us. Now you may be born again today.
You may love God with all your heart and your soul in your mind. But it's just like now when we do our thing, go into church, if you will, or sing in songs. It's just like, well, that's what we're supposed to do. We sing songs and we don't even really realize the words that we're singing.
You see, I may be uttering a song, but my heart is not in it. You see, God hears the heart. Now obviously my mouth can decree and declare my adoration unto the Lord. But you know, it must be coming out of the heart.
Have you ever had anybody to say, well, you know, you're really important to me. Or even go so far to say, I love you. There's some people you know they genuinely love you, but then there are others. You know, their mouth is speaking one thing.
But their actions, even when you look in their eyes, their heart is not in the words. God knows the heart. He knows those that really seek His face and that love Him. But He said, after two days, or if you can, we'll say, we'll heat revives.
Notice in the third day, we are moving towards three thousand. I don't believe it means in three thousand or the third day, but I believe we're moving in that direction. Okay, so with that in mind, He will raise us up. He will raise us up.
What's that sound like? It sounds like the rapture to me because the latter part and said, we shall live in His sight. Now this shell, that is future. Now I live in the sight of the Lord and so do you because He sees all and He knows all.
So we know this is different. He shall live in His sight. And I believe that as we are raised up, we are going to be present with the Lord. What's the scripture said to be absent from the body?
Is to be present with the Lord. Amen. Then shall we know if we follow on to know the Lord. His going forth is prepared as the morning and He shall come into us as the rain.
Wow, He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and the former rain unto the earth. There it is again. What is your promise? The latter rain, He is going to come in the power of the former rain and the latter rain.
How exciting are these passages? So I want us to be praying. You know, you can't have a more powerful prayer than praying the Word of God. I'm going to say it again.
You can't have a more powerful prayer than praying the Word of God. There's not a greater prayer. What are we doing? Scripture says it this way, that the Word will not return unto God void, but we will accomplish that that was intended.
Now listen to me. When I have the Word of God, it should return unto the Lord. Now what does all that mean? If you hear the promises of God, you need to allow that promise to return unto Him.
How would you do that? Prayer. Prayer is vital. When you see the promises of God, pray those promises.
Well, if it's God's will, it's just going to automatically happen. That is not true. You think of the scripture, it's not God's will that any should perish, but all should come to repentance. Does that mean everybody is going to go to heaven automatically?
No, they're not. So we know that's the will of God. We still have to pray. We still have to intercede.
We still have to be a witness. We still need evangelists to go around the world. We need those missionaries out there. You see, it's God's will, but somehow in who He is, He asks us to pray those things.
This is one thing that I love that God showed me in prayer watch. Look at what my Word says and then pray my Word. So what do we do? As we pray the Word of God, let me say this a little bit more, as we praise and worship the Lord.
What am I doing? I'm praying Him for the former reign and the later reign. I am thanking Him for revival. I am thanking Him for the miracles.
How can I do that? Because I have the promises of God on it. My faith decrees and declare what He wants to do. I thank Him that it's being done in Jesus name.
You see, that's my faith talking. That's my faith praising. That's my faith worshiping based upon the promises of God. So it's very important that as we pray, we pray the promises.
So in prayer watch, when we look at the scriptures, then I make a little outline of things that we need to pray. You see, if you're just praying and you don't know what God's Word says about it, then we could say, you don't know what God's wheel is. Because His wheel is His Word. Therefore, you're thinking, I might just be praying because that's the thing that they're telling us to do.
Or I should do. No, you're praying because you are allowing the Word of God to be returned under the Lord. So the Word will not return in a me-boy, God says, but it will accomplish that that I intended. So I want you to say again, the Word needs to be returned under the Lord.
And what did He do? He promised that He would bring to pass what His Word says. Well, this is powerful and I hope you're getting it today. Now, there is another passage that most of you will be familiar with it, but it's in 2 Chronicles 7 and verse 14.
God says, if my people, again, this is talking to the believers, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray. Seek my face. There we go again. Seeking the face of God.
What is that? Seeking His breathing. The breath of God. If you will, the Holy Spirit that He has given to us from His very being, had turned from their wicked ways.
You see, repentance is going to have to come back to the church. And most say to get repentance, it's got to come back to the church. You know, when I talk with people and they say, you know, I'm a Christian, I'm a believer. Yeah, most likely they die, they're going to heaven.
But yet they're living their lives by compromising with the things of this world. It's like, I can do what I want to do. You know, I'm a free moral agent where yes you are, but you are called to follow after the things of God. But there are those in the body of Christ.
They feel like they can do whatever they want to do. I mean, they can dress any way they want to. They can hang around with the group. You know, I even hear of some of the people that will come in to see me, that they're going to the local beer join and fellowship and with all of them down there.
You see, I want to remind you, the Bible says that we are to have clean hands and a pure heart. Can we have clean hands and pure heart, but gather in the places where evil is rampant, where there is so much sin that is going on? Let me tell you, we have to be cautious before God that we walk in holiness and righteousness, that we abstain the scripture says from even the appearance of evil. We are to walk in holiness and righteousness.
They seek my face and turn from their wicked ways. God says, then will I hear from heaven? Then will I hear from heaven? I'm asking for God to give the United States of America mercy.
We need the mercy of the Lord because when we look around and we see the sin, we hear the evil. We watch the news and we're thinking, how could anybody be that wicked? How could anybody commit such horrible things in their life? Let me tell you, that's who the enemy is about and he's coming against a lot of people trying to pull them into that darkness and into that sin.
Church, let me encourage you, pray for those, they call themselves Christians, but they're away from God, they're doing their own thing. Pray that the people will repent and turn to God with all their heart, they're soul in their mind. Notice God says, then will I hear from heaven? God does hear the prayer, but scripture says, if I regard iniquity or sin in my heart, the scripture says the Lord will not hear me.
Now he will hear the prayer of confessing my sins to him and he's faithful and just to forgive and to forget. But when I feel like I can come to God and ask all this stuff, yet my life is full of sin and darkness, the Bible said, I've regarded iniquity in my heart and he will not hear me. And people, if we ever needed God to hear us, we need him now. And I'm trusting that you will repent if there is sin in your life and you will turn to the Lord.
And then God says, and I will forgive their sin. Now listen to this lad apart and I will heal their land. I don't think any of us would doubt that America needs to be healed. We have put laws in place that is so contradictory to the Word of God.
You see, we the people of God are the ones that's called to come into him to seek his faith. He did not say the world. No, in other words, he didn't say the world, the lost. They're going to come and they'll humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways.
Then God says, I will hear their prayers and I will heal their land. He's calling you and me as children of God. So let us pray. And I pray this, and I don't know your past, but you see, I believe this is a convicting parable of the Holy Spirit.
And I pray for him to come and just convict his people of sin so that they will repent. Amen. I want to joy. It is to share with you.
That's all the time we have. Now I bless you. I bless you all in Jesus name. Hello.
I'm Chantay Hotman. Are you in an area in your life where you need a healing or a touch from the Lord? God wants to touch your body or to just even touch you emotionally and give you his peace that passes all understanding. We know that the Bible gives us many promises of God's healing power.
And Isaiah 53, in verse 4, it says, surely he had born our griefs and carried our sorrows. That we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities.
The chastisement of our peace was upon him. And with his stripes, we are healed. I believe that God wants to touch you today in a mighty way. We believe in God's Word and in his promises.
And I feel that we can just hold fast to his promises every day and to speak his Word. I know that when my little boy was sick, that I just spoke the word over him and I said, Micah, you will live and not die. And you will declare the Word to the Lord. And I know that the Word says that Jesus, he sent his Word.
And Jesus is the Word. God sent his Word to heal all of us from our sicknesses and diseases. Can I pray with you today that God will touch your body wherever you are? The promise says that he will bring us peace.
And it says that God, he will bore the grief and the sorrow that you may have today. That God wants to touch you mentally, physically, spiritually and every way. Let's pray. Father, we just come to you, Lord, in the precious name of Jesus.
And Father, I thank you for my brother and my sister today. Father, wherever they are, God, you know their need. And Father, I'm asking of you to touch their bodies. Lord, to minister peace, enjoy and shrink to their hearts today.
Father, I thank you for healing in their bodies, that we can just hold fast to your promises that by Jesus' stripes, we are healed, and we are whole. And Father, we thank you for your healing in my brother and sister today. Father, just touch their bodies by your power and by your might. And Father, we thank you for it, that they are healed and they are whole.
In Jesus' holy name, amen. We'll praise God. Please write to us their call and let us know what God has done for you today. And I'm believing and I stand fast in prayer for your healing and from a touch from the Lord.
Amen.
