She made all these cute little cookies and made sure she put the invites in there too for people in her neighborhood. So you never know what you do. Just sometimes people are literally praying, God, give me a sign, you know, like they're desperate right now. Invite everybody you know. Exactly. And just who cares if they say no. I mean, if you're a saleswoman or man, if you're watching and you're not doing this stuff, like what a waste of talent because you don't even

care about no's like you're so used to them and you know, it's one more closer to a yes. So get out there, invite people, invite people, invite people. We are working so hard to make sure this is amazing. And, um, you know, it's just going to be so awesome because so much prayer has been dumped into this so much like time and talent.

It's time to rock and roll. Okay, so what's your Instagram handle? Okay, so it's T-L-R-O-M-A-N-A. R-O-M-A-N-A. Say it again. T-L-R-O-M-A-N-A. Okay. I'm telling you, you won't be disappointed.

It's awesome. Yeah, just don't send me any weird, like, direct messages because then I'll probably block you. Yeah. Just watch. She doesn't need any insight. She doesn't need you to tell her how she should do her animals. Well, that's fun.

You know, because some people, they start watching. They're like, you're doing that wrong. No, we don't want to hear it. Yeah. Just watch, laugh, enjoy. Okay, so I had you on here right because a lot of people um how long you've been saved august of 2021 okay so very short period of time been saved but the amount of things that you've experienced since you got saved are astronomical. And a lot of times people always feel like they're not doing anything.

Well, they're not doing anything because you choose not to do anything. And she's going to be. True. And a lot of people don't realize that they're not doing anything because they're not doing it. They believe this mystical something is going to catapult them. Yeah, that spiritual encounter. It doesn't work like that. That spiritual encounter.

It doesn't work like that. Right. No. So what's interesting is your colorful background because you have a colorful background like I did. Yours is different than mine, but not by much. But we're going to talk about that because a lot of times, too, people have this perception of, well, it was easy for you because. True.

And it's like, no, you don't know. You don't know what you don't know. So, well, we don't glorify in the glorify in the sin. We glorify in the testimony. So what I wanted her to do is just share like what life was like okay so here's the thing you're from New York correct which you could never tell from her accent but um because she definitely doesn't sound like a farm girl at all and it does she's like it's weird being Christmases are weird down here because it's not cold yeah I can't believe it's a week away

yeah it goes can't get used to it yeah it's wild yeah it's crazy like austria um in australia south africa everything there like south africa is cold right now yeah or no their summer is right now actually australia and um south africa their summer is currently right now they flip-flop with us. Can you imagine? At least we have a chance of it getting cold. Christmas has always been hot. It's cold a little bit. In the morning. Yeah.

They are in the middle of their summer. Or they're going into their summer. That's crazy to me. Yeah. No, I wouldn't like that at all. But you're from New York York and here's the deal. She experienced COVID in New York and you never fell for, but she wasn't saved.

No. Not saved. You didn't even fall for the hype, the lie. And how is that? So we kind of have to go back to 2019 yeah in 2019 my daughter was in a half-day preschool program we had no intention of ever sending her to school because of our vaccine choices which is crazy but there's a lot of people you're you're conservative though underground but you're conservative correct though. There's a whole underground. But you're conservative. Correct.

Always been conservative. In New York. Not truly. Like, I thought I was conservative. So you were considered, like, a moderate? I mean, I don't think I even understood what it meant to be conservative. You just had conservative values, like the no vaccine and things like that? Yes. Because that's, like, very. conservative you just had conservative values like the no vaccine and things like that yes

i just that's like very i just learned early on through my dog having a vaccine injury it was like wild that there was a problem yeah right and so i we made choices for our family but you didn't tell people because you were the black sheep. So my immediate family knew and they didn't necessarily, my parents did. My parents were like 100% good, right? We had some close family members that were like, eh, whatever you want to do, cool, we don't care. But then we had a lot of people in our lives that we could not discuss it with. Because they thought you were dangerous. Correct. we were the lepers. So in 2019, the religious exemption was taken away from New York State.

So anybody who was in school during that time period was kicked out of school, okay? It was the end of the year. That means that everyone was exposed because it came out in the news, the religious exemption. There were protests, you know, this thing. There were protests and people, they were talking about it. So people knew.

So friends, family members, people that we were very close with then knew, even though we were just going to casually like pull away, now everybody knew. That's the reason you're not having your kids go is because they're not vaccinated. And they're asking and we weren't going to casually like pull away, pull away. Now everybody knew. That's the reason you're not having your kids go is because they're not asking and we weren't going to lie about it. You know, we were angry. We were so angry that everything was being exposed. So it started there. So we lost basically 99.9% of the people that we were close with then. Holy moly. And we dealt with a really hard time just feeling unsafe feeling like we you know

there were homeschool groups that were coming uh created and we were doing co-ops and all kinds of things you know ruby was only going into kindergarten um so that's how it started so when covid hit we were already guns blazing me big drew and Drew, and my parents. Because you all knew it was a lie. We all knew. Yeah. And it was chaos. So to go to the grocery store, you'd have to go first thing.

Okay, it's March. It's March in New York, so it's freezing. So you'd have to bundle up, right? Pick a spouse. Hopefully you have a spouse or someone that can help you because it's going to take a minimum of three hours. You're going to stand in a line outside of the grocery store. What?

Are you kidding me? More than six feet apart. There was usually like security around the store. So I used to shop at Trader Joe's. So I would go to Trader Joe's. Now, please understand that I loved this. I was like, bring it, you know? So it was bad.

So we'd go. you'd wait in line, maybe 20 to 30 people in the store, especially Trader Joe's. They were like extra scared. They would want you in masks, standing at least six feet apart outside. The line would be wrapped around the building and they would let you in.

So I wouldn't wear one and you would not be able to get a cart at the door until. She was in New York. Yeah. And then like where, how far outside of the city were you? 40, 50 minutes,

an hour, maybe with traffic, probably a little over an hour, but really like on a Sunday morning, you can get to New York city in 50 minutes. Oh yeah. That's how DC was on a weekenday morning you can get to new york city in 50 minutes oh yeah that's how dc was yeah on a weekend but okay so parks are closed too you can't bring your kid to the park

chained locked you will not let your kid play outside so you can't get a cart without a mask no yeah you can't go anywhere without a mask no so we did we did. But we did. There were ways. You'd have to deal with the manager of the store often. They would call the police on you. Depending on the cop and the day would depend on how your day went. So, you know, if I had time, I would go because I would be like, I'm ready. You know, it was fun. Oh, my gosh. Sometimes Drew would go just like we never could bring the kids ever.

Because of the cussing, the cussing. I've been spit at, you know, fights. I mean, just completely out of control people. And I was already ready because I had already been treated like a leper because I went vaccine my kids. So, oh, my gosh. So that's really how. OK, so. So it was ugly.

So here's the thing. Tracy is going to, Tracy, you gave us footage of how you would go. Yes. Like, okay, so she's not saved. This is how she went to the bar. Right. Or the club. To mock them.

Or to the grocery store. Yes. This is her mask. Yeah, here is the mask that I would wear. And it wasn't Christmas. Yeah. So, this one would get a lot of love. There's some music, but I don't want to get kicked off.

There was music. My friend remixed this. I can play it for a second. Yep, this is back in the day. Look, you're going to see masks. See that guy? But that guy's got it below his nose. Of course. So they either loved the Santa

because the whole mouth is open. It's hard to really see. I should have brought it. I should have wore it. Oh my gosh, that is dang funny. I'll post a picture on my Instagram. So would you put that on to go to the grocery store? If I had to like run in quick

and I didn't want to deal with them but was just going to mock them, I'd put that on. And they let you in? Sometimes. And sometimes it was, they'd follow you. They'd follow you. They'd threaten you. They'd, but they never could really do anything. It's all talk. It's all fear. Even when they call the police, there was nothing that they could really do. You know, it was a lie. It was a lie. Yeah. From the depths and so many people.

What's so crazy is you're not saved. You don't have the Holy Spirit, but you were smart enough to smell it. Yeah. And to know it. Yeah. Which is crazy. Yeah. I just don't think my motive was obviously right then.

Right, right. Well, you didn't know, but you were, but in some ways you're not spiritually righteous, but you were righteously fighting for your kids and people that were not smart enough to know this is not right. Yeah. And people were getting sick and all of that and it was happening.

But when you know what the system is doing, then you can, I'm not afraid. I wasn't afraid to get sick or to make someone else sick. I knew that they were killing people in the hospitals. I knew early on about remdesivir, and nobody would listen. Nobody, because that's what Tom and I used to say. I remember we went and saw somebody in the hospital, and this is when it first came out. I remember we were on saw somebody in the hospital and this is when it first came out.

I remember we went to, we were on our way to the hospital and I remember saying to Tom, because he told me what they had this person on. And I was like, Tom, because they went from being healthy as a horse, putting them on that medication and then their organs shutting down. I said to him, I was like,

because then we knew it was a Fauci drug by then because it came out that it was his because everybody was like touting him as the science and this is good to take because it comes from him. So I said to him, we knew he was evil. So I said to Tom, I remember saying to him, I'm like, do you think that medication is what's killing people and he's like

i would not be surprised right and then lo and behold right it comes out like and still no one shortly thereafter not shortly thereafter comes out quite a long time after that yeah that it was not good but it took it was over a year. But literally, when remdesivir, because that's when they were still allowing to have, you could take the horse pill, which I won't say or it'll kick us off, or you could take remdesivir. Oh, you didn't have that option in New York.

Well, you did for a while here, and that's how soon it started out. And I was like, something ain't right. We were getting all of that for friends that were sick, and it was all, I mean, all underground. Oh, yeah. It literally felt like Harriet Tubman, like Underground Railroad. I mean, just ridiculous.

And we were continuing to have our homeschool meetups too, and people would call the cops because it would be so many cars. So more than, I think it was more than three is all you could have or something like that. our homeschool meetups too. And people would call the cops because it would be so many cars at some, we got- So more than, I think it was more than three is all you could have or something like that. We had 25 kids in a house because we lost use of the building

that we were meeting at, that we were paying for. So we were like, forget it. We'll just, we're not going to have our kids not- Go to school. Hang out. And what were they really doing?

They were playing like, you know, games together and kids didn't even get sick then no it's just crazy it was crazy it was crazy and it it was hard for the kids you know it they knew something was going on they knew it was going on why can't we go to the grocery store why can't we go to the park why are we you know and so we had to talk about it we talked about governor cuomo a lot and my, my brother is a police officer in New York, and they would tell him, like, Uncle Johnny, you got to arrest Governor Cuomo. Oh, my gosh.

It's amazing, though. God vindicates. Oh, yes. God vindicates. I was just thinking about something today that I found out about. And righteously, these people have been done wrong. And I thought to myself, like the people that have done what's, when the people, the evil that's been done to these people are their believers. And when God is finished with them, they'll never wish they missed with God's chosen.

That's true. And so whatever's being done to them, God will work it for his good and how many souls will be won through the process. But the persons and persons that did this, I woe to them. The Lord literally said to me, I will vindicate, vengeance is mine. And I'm like, thank you, Jesus. We have to me, I will vindicate.

Vengeance is mine. Right. And I'm like, thank you, Jesus. And we have to know and trust that, for sure. Yes. Yeah. But it's crazy. Which I'm glad I know now. Walking through that, yeah.

But you look at, Cuomo is a perfect example of that. Everybody thought he was untouchable. He was the king. Yes. Like, everybody, like, were praising him. Very Harad-like, for sure. Yeah. Bless his heart.

Bless his heart. No, really. Pray for him. Okay, so you come. So that happens. So COVID happens. Yeah. Bless his heart. Bless his heart. No, really. Okay. So you come. So that happens. So COVID happens. Yeah. Now you end up moving to Florida.

Why did you move to Florida? Okay. So my dad lived down here for, I don't know, now 15 years. Okay. So we'd visit every year. And, oh, there's my house. Oh, yeah. So pretty.

Can she show that? Yeah. You tell me. Oh, we're going to wait. Yeah, we'll wait. Whenever you want to share something, tell me what pictures. There's a great story with this. So we come down here to visit our normal visit in February of 2021. We're exhausted.

We have been battling now since 2019. And it's just, it's tiring. Oh, yeah. And we're isolated now, too, because we have zero friends left zero maybe maybe a couple but not many um and family leaves you too so they do a lot of we lost we lost some family members you know relationships and it's heartbreaking oh yeah so we come down here and my dad says listen you guys should move down here. You can move into my house. I got this big house and you can start fresh.

Did it feel like did it when you moved from New York to Florida? What did that feel like? Because we were we were free here. Oh, well, that part. So even coming to visit, it was so refreshing. Me and Drew, it's all we talked about when we would go to the Publix or that every it was so refreshing. Me and Drew, it's all we talked about when we would go to the Publix or that every, it was so normal.

It was like we flew to another country or something, you know, or another world. We were like a refuge for a lot of people. Right. So Drew was like,

we're in. I'm ready to move now. And I said, you're crazy. We have horses. We have jobs. Like I, no, I'm not doing that I was comfortable I didn't want it and Drew said you're gonna have to to make a choice like I'm not doing

this anymore yeah I'm moving he didn't want to be on that in that rat race anymore and he did not he was relentless about it and at that time in our relationship I will tell you if I said no it was no and he that was I feel like one of the major times he was like no no it's over we're leaving and he said I'm gonna go there in June I'm gonna go live with your dad I'm gonna find a job and then I'm coming back for you and we moved our our, we just did it. We relocated all of our animals, our, our horses to Pennsylvania in the meantime, uh, from April to August, because if Drew was going to come to Florida and I didn't have his help with the animals, it would be near impossible with the little kids. So, um, which I was like, I'll never see them again. It's over. You know, came down here. He got a job.

One of the first interviews he went on, he did exactly what he said he was going to do. Came back to New York in August, got me and the kids, U-Haul truck, packed us up, moved us to Florida. And it was a whirlwind. It was an absolute whirlwind. So the horses, all the animals are in Pennsylvania. And then we, so he had found a place for us to bring the horses once he was here too. So they came down August 15th. So for 15 days, I lived here with no horses and it was the worst 15 days of my life. You know, even in New York, when I didn't have my horses, I was a horse trainer. So I, we went to the farm that I had worked at. I had other horses I was working at. My daughter was still riding. I still had that. Yeah. Once we moved

here, it was cut. I then I had nothing. And I didn't have my mom. Oh, I remember this. Yeah. I was a mess. I, I, that was my ultimate rock bottom. And I, you would think I had hit other rock bottoms before this was it. It was over. I had no peace. I couldn't sleep raging anxiety, every invasive thought drinking, drugging, everything I could do to make it stop. And it would not stop. And so I met three people, three separate people who were like, you should really come to church. You should try church because my kids did the classical conversations in New York. Oh, yeah. CCD.

Not CCD. CC. So that was my one thing I could find down here that I knew they'd have some structure right away and some friends. And who was the director of classical conversations? Holly Vance. So we were emailing before I moved down here. God set you up. Your steps are order.

Yeah. She's a great person. So I moved down here and she's like, oh, you know, you're going to come to church. I'm like, I don't do church. You know, you could be a Christian in New York and not go to church. That was a lot. I mean, it's lots of people still live by that philosophy down here. Right. I mean, how safe it is, I do not know.

I just read some good teaching. I just read some good stuff in the Word about this. And it was like. It's scary because I fully thought I was going to heaven because I believed that Jesus was born, that he was the Savior. Yep. I believed in him. So I was like, of course I'm going to heaven.

Of course I'm going to heaven. Yeah. Yeah. Gosh. I totally get that. Come to find out, wrong. So, okay. So how did Holly get you to come to church?

Holly said it. And two other people that came to your church that I had met through CC said it, and they didn't really know Holly. One did, one knew her and the other one, I guess she knew her too. They, they all were, she was the director of the program. So, but I knew they hadn't like talked about it. It just felt, I knew. That you weren't set up. I knew I wasn't set up. It was all organic. I knew it was organic.

Yeah, I could feel that. And so, you know, at that time I was like, the stars are aligning for me. Oh my goodness. So I say to Drew,

I can't take this anymore. I'm going to go check out this church. I don't want you and the kids to come because it might be a cult and I'm going to go check out this church. I don't want you and the kids to come because it might be a cult. And I'm going to go. We get called that.

Yeah. I was concerned. Tracy's laughing over there. I went in the old building. I walk in. The first person I meet is Vanessa. Tomas? Yeah.

Big smile. She looks like a piece of heaven. That wasn't in this building? No. It was in the old building? Oh, man. It was August still. I was only here for like two or three weeks tops.

And so I was like, does nobody wear a mask here? And she's like, ha, ha, ha, ha. It was literally like heaven. She was like, no, silly goose. You know, something like that. So it's so soft was like, no, silly goose. Something like that. So it's been her nice, she's so soft and like. Oh, yeah. She's my lounge singer.

Like everything is very soft. Yeah. Yeah. So I sat, worship. I was, I was beyond overwhelmed by the peace of God, the love of God. And in that moment, I thought I lost my mind because I heard God say, if you give your life to me, if you surrender, I'll give you everything you want. I'll give you your family. I'll give you everything you want. And I was like, when I leave here, I will go check into a mental institution. This is it. This is clearly I've lost it. And that wasn't it. You

know, I stayed for the service. I gave my life to the Lord. I ran home. I told Drew. What did Drew say? Drew was not as shocked as I thought he was going to be. Really? Really, he wasn't. He was like, OK, I wanted him and the kids to come. And he was into it. He was like, yeah, let's go. You know, his dad was an altar boy, so he had a kids to come. He was into it. He was like, yeah, let's go. His dad was an altar boy. He had a good religious experience. He did. Which is great. Then I was telling him about it.

I cracked my afternoon PBR. For those who don't know what PBR is, it's Pabst Blue Ribbon Beer. I'm telling him, go to drink this and it's disgusting. I can't drink it. And in the moment, in that moment, I knew, oh no. I can't do this. It's over.

And I knew what happened. I knew God had changed your heart. Because I know what he said to me. And I know what I felt in that moment in the church. And I panicked. I was like, oh, everything's different. And so Drew was like, are you good? I'm like, yeah, I'm fine.

I'm fine. I'm fine. And so I kind of kept it hidden that week. I didn't have my evening beer, afternoon beer. And I didn't partake in the things that I was partaking. I didn't need any of my coping mechanisms. All I wanted was the Bible. I got a Bible and I was reading it. I started in Matthew and then Drew came to church. The following week?

The following week. Drew and the kids came. The kids loved it. We had a hard time dropping them off because in New York, the only people that we ever let be with our kids was. The kids loved it. We had a hard time dropping them off because in New York, the only people that we ever let be with our kids was my mom and his mom. Oh, yeah, because it's scary, man. Yeah. But Miss, one of the teachers, she was great. Oh, yeah, Jen was. Yeah, it was Jen.

And Jerry. Yeah, they're great, man. So that was the end of it. Drew got radically changed, saved, and delivered that day. The same day, the first Sunday he came. That was it. We were in. And we just said, we're going to do whatever they tell us to do

because we had peace. We had peace immediately, and we had something that we had never, ever felt before. And we just knew we were just going to do it. Now, did everyone around you notice that there was a change like your family yeah they did and they it was weird they think they were you were crazy uh my mom didn't my mom was happy my mom was you know she was your mom your mom wasn't saved though right not then no but she then wanted what I had because I had the peace

and she didn't have me. So she didn't have peace. So she wanted what I had. Yeah, so for me, okay, this is where people like think that they're losing everything. You're not losing anything, you're gaining it. And then your whole family gains.

That is what people think. They do. You have to stop everything in your life. But what you gain is exponentially far above all you could imagine. Right. Like it exceeds all expectation. Well, absolutely. Nothing else was.

Because you don't lose anything. Right. Like the things that you think you're going to lose, the feelings or the desires, you're like, I don't want to lose those things. But the feelings and the desires that you think you're going to lose, the feelings or the desires. You're like, I don't want to lose those things. But the feelings and the desires that change and you gain, like don't compare to the other crap. Nothing fills that gap. Nothing. So, okay.

So because you get saved, you get radically saved. Your mom's still up in New York. Yep. Yep. Planning on moving down here in a year. And did it take her a year to get down here? It took just one year. Okay. So when she gets down here in a year. And did it take her a year to get down here? It took just one year. Okay.

So when she gets down here, so now listen, so, so for people to have hope because you got saved, how many of your family members are now saved? My mom. So me, my husband,

my children, my mom, my stepdad, my brother, my sister-in-law, their children. Um, yeah. So your immediate family, my entire immediate family my father are all saved now yeah well for me it's like your immediate and

then your your personal immediate right are all now saved yes which people are praying that their family would be saved all the time and it it happens. What are you going after though? You were all in. All in. Are you all in? All in. That's the question. Are you all in?

You have to like look. And one of the reasons why I wanted her to come on is because people always, we're not to compare ourselves among ourselves, but the thing is, is we are to look at people and say, how do I get what they got? How do I attain that? And in order to attain it, you sometimes have to follow the same steps. Wise people look at what people

have done. Like if you like want to be a great businessman, a godly businessman, then you go and you seek counsel from a godly businessman that's successful. If you want to be radically changed in your walk with God, and you want your whole family saved, then follow somebody that's done it. So the first week you get saved,

everything's gone, and the word is what you're taking in, which is not normally what people do. They're still cracking open, and they do feel what you feel. This probably is not what you're taking in. Correct. Which is not normally what people do. They're still cracking open and they do feel what you feel. This probably is not what I should be doing. I mean, Tom talks about with porn. His first was his mouth.

Then it was the porn. Like God was, as he got rid of each thing, God was, like it didn't happen all of it overnight because he didn't understand. But as he got rid of one thing, God said, okay, now this is it. it's decisions it felt fearful to me to even like take part so

six months later i came home to visit uh in i went up to new york uh my friend was getting married and i was like all right i'm gonna show them i'm so different they're gonna be so blown and i was like eaten alive because i didn't i only had six months of word underneath me. Oh, yeah. And I wasn't ready. That's why novices should never be put in a position of authority. Right. Thankfully, I had the body of Christ.

I had some good, solid Christians that had my back. And when I, you know, was struggling, they prayed for me. And they, you know what they didn't do? They never felt sorry for me. They never, they didn't. They never. There's nothing good that comes from that. No, they were never sympathetic. Yeah. They were hard. And they said the truth. And sometimes it hurt, but I did what they said. And, and it was the word. They would show it to me in scripture. And so I would do it and I would, they would show it to me in scripture. And so I would do it and I would kick and scream about it a little bit sometimes.

Everybody that I know that's a strong believer or that is accomplishing things for the Lord and that don't back down and don't cave to things, they are able to take strong correction without offense, without like leaving and crying about it and then maybe coming back or maybe not because of offense or whatever. But everybody that I know that's able to handle strong correction, I mean, personally, their spiritual walks are thriving. And even financially, their personal lives are usually thriving as well.

Or it's on the cusp of that. But it comes from being able to hear the tough stuff without falling apart. Right. When somebody tells you, because the only reason people are telling you the truth about something is so that it takes you to the next level. To set you free. Yeah. So you've got to get to the next level on your walk with God.

If you're dealing with what you're dealing with then it might be it might be hard to hear but you can it can change yeah well the thing is is change always brings something good right new you're taking you're like being pruned and the Lord talks so much about pruning yes how it doesn't feel good. But with the new growth, the new growth is so vital. It is. That otherwise, all the nourishment that you're supposed to be getting goes to the dead weight. Right. And who wants dead weight?

No. No, that's exhausting. Yeah. That is exhausting. And you got to know who you are in Christ. You have to know what he did for you and how much he loves you. Your value. Right.

And then you'll understand. Oh, yeah. What you can do through him. Right. But you won't understand if you don't immerse yourself in the word. 100%. I agree with you. So let's do this.

So because you get saved, your family gets saved. The next thing that you've talked about is like the radical things that have taken place in your life because of that one decision to come to church because you were invited to church from a few people. That one decision has radically changed your life, your families, like all your sibling, your parents, your children, your spouse. They're all saved from you just saying, I'm going to go to church one Sunday. Okay. Financially, like you have story after story after story from the $100,000 taken off the

mortgage of your house for you have no idea why. Yeah. My brother thought it was a scam. Yeah. I'm like, how is that a scam? When it happened to me and Tom, you're the only other person I have ever known that like gets $100,000 taken off their house and it wasn't Obamacare. Right.

Like Obama, whatever his thingy, like he was doing that thing where you can negotiate on your house or something like that. Mine had nothing to do with any of that. Like mine, just an attorney just reached out to us and said, the mortgage company is taking it. And I was like, what are you talking about? And I was like, well, because I called them when I got the letter. Right.

And I thought it was a scam. Right. So I was like, I don't believe that. Yeah. We didn't either. When we called up, they were like, I literally was like, are you sure about this? I asked the poor legal assistant or whatever her name was. She's like, I'm positive.

I'm like, who did this? She's like, I don't know. I don't get that information. All I know is this is what we were told to do. This is what we're doing. So nobody paid that debt. Nobody I know called in and said, oh, I'm going to pay this for them. Right.

Right. Same. It was the mortgage company that did it. Yeah, we have no idea. They have no idea. Yeah. It's gone. But it can happen, guys.

It happens. It can happen. And we didn't ask for that either. That wasn't something we were praying and fasting about. It just happened. And we got our monthly bill and it said payment to date. There was an extra $100,000 on there. And there was $100,000 missing from our principal balance like what the what yeah so first i was like okay hold

on this has got to be a typo i got mine on a friday and i had to wait the whole entire weekend yeah to call on on monday morning explanation so it's still there every month every statement it's still there it's crazy lord it's It's still there. It's crazy. It's crazy. So, okay. So you get a hundred thousand dollars. Your husband gets like raise after raise after raise. You're tithers. They're tithers.

They're not givers. There's a difference. They're tithers. So we, we did what the church told us to do because we had that instant. Just we were, we had relief. had but you didn't always but you always weren't in financial like it was financially difficult for you to pay your tithe broke we were totally and people are probably credit we people are probably thinking oh yeah it's easy for you to pay tithes because you had the money. We have horses. That means we have no money. People think when they see horses.

No, that means there's no money. That's what that means in the world. It means I have a very expensive thing that I feed. That's what it means. So Drew was getting bonuses and raises. And all of a sudden his credit was increasing. And six months into us being here, we thought it would take at least two years at my dad's. Six months in, we're able to get approved for a house.

Okay, but the story about the house, I'm just telling you guys, if you do the radical things, you will see radical things happen in your life from him. I know it happens to me, but people always go, well, of course it happens to you because you're in ministry. It happened to me before I was in ministry. So it doesn't happen like that. People always think because of Jonathan and Pastor Rodney.

Of course it happens for them because no, it doesn't. They do the radical to get the radical. And the same thing happens if you do it, it'll happen for you. The formula is the formula. The covenant is for you. The formula is the formula. The covenant is the covenant. The word is the word. It can't change. It cannot change.

Same yesterday, today, and forever. Take the necessary steps to see the monumental growth spiritually and the monumental blessings on top of that. No more woe is me. No more. You don't do it so you get the blessings. You do it because the word is the word. Well, that's the thing.

I did it because of my love. Right. We fell in love with him and what he was doing in our lives. We knew how much he loved us. And so we were willing to do whatever. If he says it, you do it. We did it. So the story about your house, though, is like nuts.

Yeah. It's another one that you sit there and go without god just not possible somebody else put a cash offer on our house now show them this house this house it's it's exactly what you needed it's your it was your dream home it is and it's literally designed for the amount of animals that um we started with there we are So that's before we own the property, that picture, actually. Oh, we were walking and praying the property. That was before we signed the contract. My mom took that picture. I love that. Yeah. And there are details about this home that are so unbelievable for us to the way the water is run, the electric, the knobs in the kitchen. My husband had already

chosen for our future home. I mean, three stalls, three horses at the time. We've expanded. Things like that, that we just knew. And so we believed and we prayed and somebody else put in a cash offer on, on the home. And, um, we said, no, it's, it's ours.

Well, you know, we'll wait. And with that, our real estate agent, uh, and just so you know, cash is King,

which we all know. And very rarely does a cash offer ever dissolve. It doesn't. He needed a small amount of it financed. And for some reason, so this guy's got enough to make a cash offer on that on that property and he needs a small amount offered and he can't get it financed three times it fell through it took almost 60 days and um we countered with again our same offer we have

just enough credit we have to have a special loan. We don't have anything. We don't have anything. And it all goes through. So that deal dies. And you kept standing no matter how. Because it looked good for a while. It looked really good. Oh, it did.

And every single time you're like, nope, that house is mine. The man was going to turn the property into a tiger farm. He had enough money. He was going to gut the property into a tiger farm. He had enough money. He was going to gut the whole thing. He had licenses. He was from another country. And he was going to make it. And we were laughing that we were up against the Tiger King.

It felt like it was like a David and Goliath story. You know? And here we are. It's my house. Right. So we just stood. That's where life and death is held in the tongue. Speak.

Speak what? Because you believed God told you that was your house. We knew it. Yes. And that's the difference. Don't just claim something that you want. Claim it because you know God's told you it's yours. Absolutely. There's the difference.

Yes. Don't be naming and claim it. That's what gives the prosperity, the healing message a bad name. We're not naming and claim it. We're like if God says it's ours, then it. We're not naming and claim it. We're like, if God says it's ours, then it's ours. I claim that there is a difference because people have given the prosperity message such a bad name. Again, why do you do what you do? So do you do what you do? So your hand's always out. So God's always giving you something or are you doing it because you're being obedient unto the Lord and what the word of God says. And when you do so your hand's always out, so God's always giving you something? Or are you doing it because you're being obedient unto the Lord and what the Word of God says?

And when you do it, he always looks at the heart. He knows the motive. It's true. He knows what's going on there. If your motives are pure, then he's just going to pour out on you. He who is faithful with a little will be faithful with much. If you are not going to be able to handle it, he's not going to give it to you because he's not going to set you up to fail. And that's the other thing that people misunderstand. It's like I was listening to Jonathan a couple of days ago, and he said that he knew that when

the Lord allowed his ministry to get that first million dollars, he knew that was a test. What are you going to do with it? What are you going to do with it? What are you going to do with it? How are you going to spend this? And he, in that moment, he's like, Lord, I'm going to, I'm like, I'm going to rise to the occasion. I'm going to prove myself to you. And in that, he gave over half of it away. Not because he wanted to get more. That wasn't his purpose. His purpose was to fulfill the scripture that was, he who is faithful with a little, be faithful with much. He was proving himself to the Lord.

That's what we have to do. But a lot of times we're like, what's next? And if you don't feel like doing it, do it anyway. Because Drew, in the beginning, Drew was ready to give everything. And I was like whoa whoa whoa we just finally got a little bit of money hang on yeah but we did it anyway and it took a while before i got comfortable with it it really did that's just the honest truth yeah but i did it anyway yeah because you know sometimes it is a sacrifice and what he did for me i I owed him. Yeah. You know? So here's the thing.

Like, even this year, like, the stuff that, like, withdrew in his job, like, it's unbelievable. It really is. Like, you guys were needing a financial breakthrough. And, like, out of the blue, he gets called in. Yeah. Tell the story. You don't have to give the numbers but if or whatever you want to do but this is just like again god yeah absolutely so you know um

our mortgage increased last year with the taxes going up yep and that's just you know it's what it is and we god was still providing for us Every single month he provided for us. And more than enough. Always. Always. And so, and if it wasn't, it would come in somehow. He did it for sure. So we get sick of this.

We're like, you know what? I'm sick of this. So I wanted to sow a small seed into this Bible study. Yeah. And I said, I don't have, I wanted to do it so bad and I didn't have any extra after, but I had, I had what I thought was $19. So I thought I had that in my bank account. So I, I send the $19 and then I look at my account and it's actually, there's only like $10 in the account. So I forgot about that.

Right. So I text Drew, I'm like, Hey, can you send me 10 bucks from to the other account? Because I just sewed a $19 seed and it's going to like bounce or whatever. And he's like, there,

there's barely anything left in that. And I'm like, just, and he's like, okay, fine. He sends it. So we send that.

And so, um, I write down on a piece of paper, Lord, turn this $19 into 19,000. There it is, September 17th. Oh. I have the note. This is why it's important to write things down.

Oh, yeah, it's super. She journals everything. Because I'm going to prove that the Lord is good. Yeah. If you don't believe me, I can prove it. Yeah. I've journaled. I don't journal like I should, but I have journaled and it's insane.

Yeah. It's beautiful to watch the growth that God does. So six days after that, my husband received a $20,000 raise. Boom. Boom. Breakthrough. And that put us into a position where it made things a lot easier for us. Oh, yeah. You know, and he continues to, Drew just had a conversation with his bosses this week about

something else coming in the beginning of the year, that more growth for him, because Drew does everything unto the Lord without integrity and character, which sets him apart from pretty much everybody he does and and he he loves god and he's witnessing discipling on that job yeah like he's living it out and when he messes up you know what he does he owns it he owns yeah he's told me stories i love it the man owns it i even struggle with that trust me that's i've had that was me like listen that was me for so long i've gotten so much better yeah but sorry is not that easy it's because especially when you're a prideful person you're not that humble i mean i'm I'm humble, but I'm like, being sorry humbles you to another degree.

And you can be humble in a lot of ways, but humble, like, that's like- It's true. That's a gift. It's hard. Tom's very much like that too. Like he's very humble and he like, sorry- It makes a difference.

Sorry is easy for him. I'm like, golly man. Like he's very humble. And he like, sorry, sorry is easy for him. I'm like, golly. God can work with it. Yeah. Well, David was a man after God's own heart. Why? Because he was broken and contrite. And O to be broken and contrite. That's what I want to be.

But a lot of times pride gets in the way of that. Yeah, for sure. And that comes with destruction. So remember, you want to be prideful, destruction's coming your way. And if you read the word, that pride will start to melt off because God will highlight it. Big time.

He'll start pushing it. Big time, 100%. So now God's got both of you. So good things are happening for Drew on his job, but we go back to, so you're not satisfied. You're saved. You're not satisfied. You're digging into the word,

and you want to see things really, like you not only want to win the loss, but you want to, not you want to win the loss, but you want to like heal, and you want to prophetically speak into people's lives, and you've been seeing it but novices are like she's a novice still because she's still learning but that doesn't

mean that you shouldn't be active in doing things how do you become better at them right by practice yeah you all the time just do it just do it just pray so it started praying i'm with me praying for people in the supermarket i was already used to talking to people at the supermarket. They were usually yelling at me in New York. So what's the difference? Who cares? What are they going to say? They're not going to say anything worse than people have said to me in New York. Yeah. So I would just ask people, I would ask the cashier. I would ask the waitress at a restaurant. I would ask whoever would listen and people would say no. People would say yes. And if they said yes, I would pray for them. Oh, yeah.

And I just, I study it. That's why I tell people, go to soul winning. Yes. If you go to soul winning, if you're not like this personality, like you know no stranger, like me, I'm like you. I can talk to anybody. Like me talking to somebody or praying, laying hands, doesn't bother me.

My heart rate doesn't go up. Right. But some people, it's so intimidating for them. That's why soul winning is so important. Get out there. Go with a crowd or a group. You've got to practice. Right.

And they can teach you. Right. Like Eddie can teach you how to do it. Absolutely. And he'll like hold your hand. Yeah. Fake it till you make it. So if you're sitting there going, I could never do that.

You can. You can. You just got to learn. You're making an excuse if you're thinking that. It's an excuse. Yeah. Fake it till you make it. So if you, if you're sitting there going, I could never do that. You can, you can, you just got to learn. You're thinking that you just have to, yeah, you just have to learn. And listen, if you go in numbers, oh my gosh, it's so much easier. Yeah. If to, to be able to learn, to be able to do it on your own. Right. So yeah. But okay. So you're out there winning the loss and you're laying hands on the sick. Yeah. And so tell us some of the things that you've experienced and seen with that. I made a list. Perfect. I brought a list. And so this is awesome. When I made this list yesterday, I could have cried

because it just brings to remembrance all of the amazing things that God has done. Oh, yeah. For me, which I don't ever even feel worthy. But I'm going to do what his word says to do. And his word says to speak the word in season, out of season, lay your hands on the sick and be bold about it. And I'm going to do that.

Oh yeah. And sometimes I don't even want to do that, but I do it anyway. And he, he, he needs people to work through. Yeah. He needs vessels.

Right. The harvest is right. Hands and feet. So somebody has got to do it. Yeah. Everybody can't be. And if y'all can start helping me out, that would be great because I keep getting put in situations.

People can't be spectators. This is not a spectator sport. No. We're all in. Yes. Hands and feet of Jesus. That's the problem. People feel like they can't be a spectator.

Like when we have service, you have the people who are active and you have the watchers. We're not called to watch. I just want to serve him too. Yeah. I just want to spend every moment I can on this earth trying to do what he did for me. That's all. Were you in there on Sunday? Yeah.

When Norma was saying, give me Jesus. Oh my gosh. That song. I was bawling like a baby. Were you in there on Sunday? Yeah. When Norma was saying, give me Jesus? Mm-hmm. Oh, my gosh. That song. I was bawling like a baby. The room was like, I felt like, I don't know, such a powerful. That song is so powerful. It is.

And the thing is, is I, in that song, I'm sitting there going, that's how I feel. Yeah. Like, for me, I don't care about anything else and you most people should really like if when you're if you were singing that song and it meant nothing to you you need to really like reevaluate big time yeah and if you can say that during that song that I mean I kind of felt like, I kind of feel like that. Then you need to reevaluate too, because truthfully, like that song should be how you actually truthfully feel.

And you walk and talk and do that daily. If you don't, why? And then you're not going to see anything. Right. You're not going to see the things, or maybe you don't want to see them. Then you need to reevaluate.

Right. Like in some ways, do you, are you really saved? Right. You're not going to see the things. Maybe you don't want to see him. Then you need to reevaluate. In some ways, are you really saved? He has to be number one. He has to be number one. He says there will be no one in front of him, and you'll have no other God before him. I mean, he's number one.

The only way to get to the Father is through him. And if you don't even know him, or you really allow him to be a part of your life, but he has to fit into a certain parameters. Oh, goodness. The limiting God thing. Seriously, you might need to examine your walk with God. But that song is exactly like what you're talking about with this stuff right here. Yeah. Yeah. I, cyst cyst dissolved instantly under my finger. That one actually scared me. Okay.

So say that one more time. An I cyst. An I cyst. It dissolved under my finger while I commanded it to do so, which actually like, I was like, ah, okay.

It really, you know, sometimes you're like, okay, that really did happen. Yeah. And it happens. Yes.

It, it happens. boy. It happens. Boy with COVID pneumonia on oxygen, removed from oxygen that day and discharged the next morning. He was administered into like a children's hospital. They were expecting him to stay. I think he was eight.

Infant admitted to hospital with dehydration and fever, drinking and peeing and pooping immediately after prayer, discharged shortly after. They discharged her ateing and pooping immediately after prayer. Discharged shortly after. They discharged her at 1130 at night from a hospital. Which doesn't hardly ever happen. The keeper the next day. Insurance. No.

Sent her home. Bleeding during pregnancy. Stopped. That particular one had suffered miscarriage. And, you know, the fear comes in. Oh, yes. Done. Stopped.

Kidney stone dissolved in hours. Lactose intolerant reversed. Food allergies reversed. I ran over my son's leg with my truck and trailer. That is a terrible story. He had tire marks on his leg and a broken boot

and the Lord turned his leg into rubber and he totally... Nothing. Nothing. I know. My daughter broke her his leg into like rubber and he totally. Nothing. Nothing. I know. My daughter broke her arm. She was healed in 12 hours.

I promise we're good parents. We are. Oh girl. A horse was healed. Have Tommy be your child. Oh goodness. Okay. A horse was healed of a chronic lymph condition.

That's what it was, right? Yeah. Yep. Dog seizures stopped. An unresponsive six-month month old baby. I rolled up on a car accident where a baby died and they were doing CPR on her and the mother was screaming and I got out of the car and she was screaming. My baby died. And I said, no, in the name of Jesus, your baby will live and not die. And then the cop was like, you got to get out of the way. I got back in my car. My kids were like, what's going on?

And we drove off. I got in touch with the grandmother of the baby. The baby lived. And then the body cam video came out in the county. Yeah, there's a video. You can see my car pull up at the end of the video and the baby is dead dead and then not dead and that was god i was there that baby was hit by a motorcyclist he flew through the window and hit her in in her car seat and she is alive she is hitting every milestone oh my gosh praise

the lord thank you lord and i just i found her family how in the world did you do that facebook facebook she stalked you're you're italian you're italian tell you can find anything countless fevers bloody stool stopped my pigs had swine pool uh swine people don't think you can pray for your animals. Yes. You can. You can. We've seen it. Oh, yes, we have. An elbow dislocated, instantly healed, and a man on a plane that was withdrawing from alcohol. This man was one of my favorites.

He went, he was demonic, and I prayed for him, and he was overwhelmed with the love of the Lord on an airplane. Like, we're in close quarters. This can go bad. Real fast.

Yeah. That's my mini list. And there's more than that. There is. There is so much more. There is. There's so much more. Because it's my daily life.

So, you know. I mean, even like you're working. She's working a job. She didn't want to work this job. And the Lord is making her work this job. And she's waiting to find out, Lord, exactly who and why. But they don't like you there. But they don't understand why they like you.

They don't like her. They openly say that. We don't know why we like you. And we love you, but we don't know why we love you. And they didn't like you at the first, I mean, they really said, they don't like, I can't believe you came back because they live in the world. They, they don't care. And I am me with the Lord, exactly the way I am at church with you at home with them, Jesus. And that's it.

They don't even know what to do with me half the time. It's great. And I know you annoy them. I do annoy them, yeah. Which is funny as all get out. It is. But the favor of the Lord, like he'll turn it around. Like he's turned them around.

He has shown them some things. I mean, every section before season, only my section would have people in it. And people could sit anywhere in the rest. The Lord has shown them already that if you speak the word, you will receive. I say all the time, and I pray this over my family pretty much every day. And I always say that everything we put our hands to will prosper. That's the word. Deuteronomy 28, guys. You need to be in Deuteronomy 28 all the times. It's the blessings. The first part's the blessings, and then it's the cursings if you don't do it. But the blessings, and we are found with favor wherever we go. Yeah, speak that over yourself. Every day, do it. It's actually written on that chalkboard thing.

I think you gave it to me on my deck. Oh, really? Yeah, that verse. Deuteronomy 28? Mm-hmm. Can't go wrong, guys. Right. Now, the last thing, and you're making killer money

working that job. I am. And you hate it. I do. She's blessing people. She doesn't even, you hate it. I do. And she's blessing people like she doesn't even hang on to it. It's super fun. So, okay,

so tell them the story. She will not keep a dime of this money for herself. Some of it I have recently, so a couple things I've done with it. I have recently. But Drew and I are giving a lot of it away. More than,

more than all of it. Yeah, more than all of it. More than all of it. Most of it, yes. Yeah, really. So she's working this job that she hates, making killer money. And I'm falling in love with these people, too, because God loves them. The staff, I mean, they're starting to trust me and let me speak into their lives. And then they're like, they love it.

And then they, it's great. It's great. You never know guys, but be obedient. Cause again, she did not want this job. She cried over it. I did cry.

Yeah. I did kick and scream a little bit. I was like, why would you put me in this position? But you cannot limit God. No. And who else is he going to, who else can he use?

It's the truth. To put into that position and, and speak to them and give them the hard truth and tell them who Jesus is. All those customers that come in. Oh, yeah. I get plenty of opportunities. I could tell you stories all day. People we've prayed for, a healing in a staff member, a headache gone.

I mean, things that they needed. People say, well, headache, that's so small. If you're the one with the headache, it's not so small. It's true. It's true. So for me, I'm like, when I have headaches, I literally sometimes have to fight not to pop the Tylenol right over. But I'm like, no, because this is an opportunity.

If I can stand in faith for my headache, that means I can lay hands on the sick. Yeah. As well as other things with myself. But those are testing grounds. Instead of popping the, or getting a cold or whatever, like stop the cold before it gets bad.

Yeah. Like this morning, I felt a really bad sore throat coming on. And I was like, uh-uh, not happening. I literally began to speak over that thing, and it was gone in like an hour. Like no sore throat, no stuffiness, no congestion, nothing. Gone in an hour. And that's the thing.

You can't settle for even, I'm not going to blink wrong. No. I'm the daughter of a king. Yes. Absolutely not. And people need to get in that mindset. You will not only see the... It's not cancer. Okay, but if you're alright with

that, then what are you... But what are you going to do? Because the word is very clear that you cannot wait until you do have cancer in order to build up your faith for that. Right. Okay? It's muscle memory. Yeah. You better have the muscle. Right. Because when I see something that I've already seen done, I barely even have to.

Oh, yeah. It's easy. It is so easy. Because you've seen it before. I've seen it before. And he'll do it again. Absolutely. All the time.

I don't care. There's no respecter of person. You're no different. That's what I say all the time. Well, if they did it, I can do it. I do that about George say all the time well if they did it i can do it yeah i do that about george mueller all the time george mueller saw some amazing financially some amazing things yeah um healing wasn't his big thing but like financially he the things that man got to experience off the charts astronomical yeah astronomical yeah it's

cool it's crazy. It's crazy. And I sit there and go, he's no different. Right. Like, I'm not going to like settle for less. You know, sewing 20, if I can sew $250, sew 20 bucks. Sew $25. Oh, yeah. It's a hundredfold return. Sew $9.

It doesn't matter. If you say, I don't have it. Watch what God does does because it's a hundredfold return and your mind has to be right right okay so it's a hundredfold return there's no risk yeah there is no risk and it's fun to that that money that i make at the restaurant that's the most fun money to give away because those some of those people are so wicked they probably can't even believe it they don't know yet but i i love the opportunities to tell them you know what i do with this money do you know where this money is going oh yeah you know

they probably just their heads want to spend okay but we're seven minutes over but you have to hear this funny farm story josiah yeah do that This just recently happened. This did happen the other day. Yes. Okay. So I have two roosters. I had two roosters. Chicken Joe, who has the most amount of the ladies, the hens, if you know how roosters work. Yes, there's a pecking order.

There is. And so if you have enough chickens, you can have more than one rooster. You have to have enough chickens and enough space. So I do. Oh, oh yeah it's huge so Joe chicken Joe and one of his wives had a baby last year they had a couple babies we decided to keep one of the extra roosters he was so beautiful I named him Josiah in hopes that he would be a good king and um he was he was a good little man. So a couple of days ago last week, one of my chickens, I found her near death and I couldn't believe it. She was all beaten up. Somebody had beat her up. I said, oh, no, maybe she was sick because chickens, if one chicken is sick, they'll take her out.

Like you can't stay. You're a problem. So I thought maybe that was the case. She didn't make it. She I tried to I put her separately. I tried to get her better, prayed over her, everything. She dies. So I'm like, okay, that shouldn't happen, but something was up. So then me and Ruby are out in the barn like a day later, two days later, and we hear commotion, big commotion, which is basically every day. But you have a farm.

Right. The roosters are fighting. Chicken Joe is trying to fight for his life. Josiah, his son, is attacking him and winning. And he is brutalizing his father. And it's just absolute chaos. So we go in there. I fight off Josiah.

I get off of him. Pick up Chicken Joe. He's bleeding. And he's all messed up. And he chicken Joe. He's bleeding and he's all messed up and he's older. He's an older rooster. So he, you know, so having a hard time fending them for himself. Right. So I separate him. I'm like, Josiah's out.

He's, he's evil. He's trying to take over the kingdom. He obviously killed that other chicken because his dad wouldn't let him have everything. His dad was the head honcho and he was jealous. It all comes down to that. Jealousy. Bible. She's got a Bible.

Look at this. Here's the Bible unfolding. The Old Testament in my chicken coop. Yeah. Kings. Right. Kings. Kings.

Okay. So I'm going to sell Josiah at the auction. So I separate them. I don't have time for it, but I'm going to do it. I have to catch him again. And Chicken Joe is okay. He survives, right? I catch Josiah and he's wrestling me. He's fighting me to get in this Tupperware box that I already set up. I drilled holes in it. I put Ziplocs. I'm ready to transfer him to the auction. There's a small auction in Arcadia where I could at least get 20 bucks for him.

He's beautiful. Reminds me, I gotta call her and find out how much he sold for. Anyway, as I'm wrestling him, I accidentally snap his neck. I feel it in my hands. He like, and like dies in my hands. I'm like, oh no, I killed him.

I killed Josiah. I feel so bad. And Ruby, she's like, good, he deserved it. He's terrible. Oh my goodness. So I throw him. I killed Josiah. I feel so bad. And Ruby, she's like, good. He deserved it. He's terrible. Oh, my goodness. So I throw him in the box. I leave the top off because he's dead. I take Chicken Joe back into his wives.

Here's your kingdom back. Okay. And I go back. And this Kung Fu Chicken is alive and well and out and ready to come after me. Did you pray over him? I think you told me you prayed over him. So when I was holding him, I did feel a lot of compassion. I didn't pray, but Jesus healed with compassion and I did feel very badly. So if I either accidentally resurrected him,

which is a possibility because you just don't know things can happen like that you cannot limit god i've seen some things or he faked his death in order to kill me let's be real he could have done that so he did try to come after me again i won i took him to the auction and sold him and that was the end of it but it was this is all before 9 a.m in the morning oh my gosh So what time do you normally get up on the farm? It depends. Right now I'm a little bit later because the sun isn't up as early. So I don't want to be out there in the dark.

So right now it's between 6.30 and 7. That's like really different because normally. Normally it's like 5. So, and also it depends on what I'm doing with God. There are big giant gaps with the Lord where I need to be up very early. You know, not very early, but I need a lot of time with him prior to the farm. Because the thing is, is when the kitchen light is on, Sven, the donkey, can see that I'm awake.

And he'll start calling me. To come out. To come out. And if I don't come out fast enough, he starts messing with a lot of stuff. He's going to take all the halters off.'s gonna mess with the gate so it really depends i love that donkey i do too i know watch her stuff feel the same no well do you blame him look at her stuff watch it but more importantly if you go to foundation Church, she's our 911. We always like to tease. Like, Tom's, there's plenty of people.

Like, our church is amazing as far as people that you can go to and count on that they're going to stand with you. Like, everybody wants to have Tom lay hands on them, and that's great and all. We have a phenomenal, Sue has a phenomenal prayer team that they listen, they agree with us. They believe just like we do. Otherwise they wouldn't be laying hands on people and praying.

Tracy does it in the youth group with Jer all the time. You're in our kids ministry. You're teaching them along with Courtney. Cause she's a teacher um her and Courtney are constantly praying over people uh teaching them the the strong foundational I wouldn't say basics but it's the foundation of the world word so that they can build from that because Tracy's uh we do have kids that are speaking in tongues and kids rock uh when we get that by the time they get to tracy and jare like we want them like so solid that they're winning their friends uh at

the at the high schools and like because the education system by the time you hit high school is not like elementary school right plus they do the junior high so we where the junior high is like that's a hot mess. Oh my goodness. Everything's like, you just, it's all about your social life. Right.

All about your friends. Yeah. Which, it shouldn't be like that. Right. So if we can get them good and kids rock. There's just so many people.

If you ever have a problem or you need prayer, there are plenty of people who will lay hands on with uh lay hands on you stand with you in agreement to our more agree in his name he is there also and you can believe for whatever you're standing out standing in uh we see it all the time we do all the time see it all the time and uh it's powerful it's powerful to have a testimony you need to be doing it i wouldn't say i would say um not everybody is allowed to lay hands in

our church right you have to be in leadership sure but work it to you work it to the place where you can yeah so that's where soul winning comes in absolutely soul winning they're going out into the streets and they're winning the lost they Absolutely.
