Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the White Mountain Ministry Show. I am your host, Nate Kibler. I just thank you for watching, for listening, for praying, and for being a part of what the Lord is going to do through this show today. Hey, this ain't church, y'all. It is all about the kingdom of God. Excited for the show today. We have Brian Britton joining us live.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Kind of local, but he is going to be on from Williamsburg, Virginia, just a couple hours south of where we are in Charlottesville. And he happens to be home because Brian is a missionary. He travels the world sharing the gospel in many different countries. We'll let him share a little bit more about that, but we're excited to have Brian on in just a minute. Just just want to thank again everybody for watching. Please share the show today, guys. This is how people are literally watching and being impacted by the show all around the world. And I also want to thank our sponsor and partnership with Opening Doors Real Estate and Melanie Morris, amazing real estate agent. Their new location is out by the Dunkin' Donuts and the Holiday Inn at the corner of Albemarle and Greene County.
Starting point is 00:01:31 So reach out to Melanie Morris if you are looking to buy or sell a house. So let's go ahead and bring Brian on, Judah, because I don't have anything fancy that I'm sharing today. And we will just see what the Lord does. So let me know when we can see Brian. What's up, brother? You are alive. Hey, it's good to see you, Nate. Good to see you, brother. Thanks for coming on with us today. Oh man, my pleasure. Thanks so much for having me. Always glad when we get a chance to be together. Yeah, I guess we've always liked to talk about when I start the show, because for the most part, I'm not just going out there and spearing people to come on the show. Almost everyone that I've ever had on the show, I have had some kind of relationship with.
Starting point is 00:02:12 And I guess we've probably known each other now for at least, I'd say, maybe about two years. I feel like that sounds about right. And of course, we originally met through our good, dear friend, Barbara Shaw at the heart of the home, correct? Yeah, that's correct. I think it has been about two years. And yeah, one of the things I love about Barb Shaw is how she has a way of bringing all kinds of people together. And so I've met so many wonderful people through our relationship with Barb Shaw, for sure. Yeah, truly an apostolic leader in the Shenandoah Valley. And we talk about Barbara a lot. She's been a guest on this show a couple of times, and she probably gets more plugs
Starting point is 00:02:49 than just about anybody else on the show. So if you guys are looking for, like I say, this ain't church, y'all. You go to the heart of the home. It's not like a traditional church. It's really an apostolic training center. So if you want a place to get fed where you can connect with good people and really powerful ministers from all over the country and different parts of the world, it's in Timberville, Virginia. So there we go. You know, I think, I don't know, Brian, this just came into my heart. I don't know if this is the first time that I ever met you, but I remember, I don't know if you remember this, but I had actually, we were in the process of building a house and out my mind was in so many different places. I had three one-year-old girls, triple girls at the time, and was the general contractor of a
Starting point is 00:03:34 house. And there was something I was supposed to pay cash. And I had like five or $6,000 cash in an envelope. And it was literally, it went missing. Oh, wow. It's a pretty nice chunk of change, you know, and I could not find it anywhere. I searched everywhere and I just said, I was coming to see you at heart of the home. And I remember praying. I was just like, Lord, if you just find this money for me, like I am going to take 10% and give it to someone. And sure enough, I went out and it was way down in the crack of my van that I had been in. And I found that $5,000. And anyways, the Lord put it on my heart that we were supposed to come and bless you because that's who was at the heart of the home that day. So I don't know if you remember that, but that's kind
Starting point is 00:04:20 of how my relationship started with you. Yeah, as you were continue talking about it, I remember you when you were you were telling me that, that all that was going on that day. I do remember that. So anyways, tell us a little bit about yourself. I'd like to hear some of your testimony. I know that you have a background as an athlete and a coach and, and even college athletics. And this was, you know, before you were a, you know, really walking in the kingdom of God. So maybe you can go back there a little bit for us. Yeah, well, I grew up in Hampton Roads, Virginia,
Starting point is 00:04:57 in Portsmouth, Virginia, where I love sports. You know, my dad, I guess he grew up in the 50s and 60s, and he loved baseball and football. So my earliest memories were, you know,, my dad, I guess he grew up in the 50s and 60s and he loved baseball and football. So my earliest memories were, you know, with my dad watching the big baseball and football games on TV in the 1970s when I was a little kid in the 80s and went to high school and played football. I loved baseball. That was my first love, but I just couldn't hit a breaking ball and I don't know what the deal was so I just went with football it's one of the hardest things in sports to do that's
Starting point is 00:05:30 probably what the deal was yeah it really was for me so I got cut from the JV baseball team and went right to the football team and that was it there you go so uh I kept playing rec baseball until I was done with with high school But yeah, then I went to Bridgewater College there in the Shenandoah Valley, Bridgewater, Virginia. And I actually got to start there my freshman year. It's really the main reason I went there because I knew I was going to get to play. And I just really wanted to play. And I got to start for four years. I actually met a guy in the gym this week who I played against in my very first college football game in 1990 at Ferrum College, like in a little gym in my condo here.
Starting point is 00:06:13 It's crazy. Wow. So did anything come from that as far as like a divine? I mean, anything y'all talk about the Lord at all? We did a little bit, so I don't know. You know, it always happens, you know, people ask you what you do. So it's an easy segue, you know, to kind of open up those doors. But yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:32 But then, you know, I got to play my whole time there. And then I got into coaching. I didn't know what I was going to do. I kind of thought I wanted to be a state trooper. But then I kind of got in a little bit of trouble the year after I graduated college. And I got a job as a graduate assistant football coach at Bridgewater. So I stayed there, I coached one year. And you know, it's kind of hard coaching your buddies. So then the next year, I took a job at Hamden-Sydney College, still in the same conference, the Old Dominion Athletic Conference. And then I got a job at kind of a place kind of like Last Chance U.
Starting point is 00:07:10 When were you at Hampton, Sydney as a coach? 1995. Okay. I might have asked you this before, but do you remember a quarterback by the name of Brian Crist, by chance? I do remember that name, yeah. Really? Because I think he was probably there that time. He's my first cousin, and I know there was a time
Starting point is 00:07:30 that he was the starting quarterback at Hampton City. I remember that name. So he was probably on the team that same year. I was only there one year. I coached a defensive line there, and then I went to Hargrave Military Academy and coached on their postgraduate team for two years and then i got my dream job at colgate university new york uh in
Starting point is 00:07:54 1996 or 7 or 97 or 98 somewhere around that time and uh, I was moving up the ranks, you know, we were Patriot league, one double a, I was really excited about my future, but for whatever reason, my life was just spiraling and, uh, I was not happy. I couldn't explain it. I had given my life to the Lord, maybe, uh, a year or two, maybe like two years before, uh, three years before. And, uh, but I was running from the Lord and, uh, and I ended up up there and then I resigned my job up there and just quit and moved home to Virginia beach. Yeah. And, uh, and then my mother kind of like prayed me into a spirit filled small group, so group, and then I got baptized with the Holy spirit and boom,
Starting point is 00:08:43 I was in ministry like, you know, a couple of years right after that. So you said you got baptized in the Holy Spirit. What did that, what was that experience like for you? Yeah, well, you know, I, I knew the Lord and I was a believer and I was really hungry and I was being discipled by these men in this small group and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and I wanted it and I knew I needed it. And, uh, I was reading about the Holy Spirit in scriptures and I'm like, man, I need this in my life. If it's real, I want it. And, uh, and I had some issues in my life, like we all do, you know, certain fears and things like that that were really holding me back in life.
Starting point is 00:09:22 Like I was afraid to talk in front of people, unless I was talking about football or something like that. But I would never get up and speak in front of people. I was terrified all through my college years. The enemy knew you had a call in your life to get up and speak. Yeah, right. So, I mean, I would take zeros on my assignments at Bridgewater and high school, college, everything. Dude, I was the guy that used to take a few shots of liquor before my college presentations
Starting point is 00:09:50 because I was terrified of it as well. Man, I should have done that. I didn't think about that. Oh, goodness. Keep going. Yeah. And then, yeah, so I went to this. It was like there was a singles meeting in our church for all the single people.
Starting point is 00:10:08 You know, it was a large church in Chesapeake, Virginia. And I went to the meeting and there was a guy there, an evangelist. He was praying for people to be filled with the Holy Spirit, preached a great message on the Holy Spirit. And it seemed like everybody was getting baptized in the Holy Spirit but me. And I was really frustrated. And I got in the car and I started driving down the highway, Interstate 64, going to my house. And I was living with my grandfather at the time. And I got baptized with the Holy Spirit driving down Highway Interstate 64.
Starting point is 00:10:40 Like just singing in the Holy Spirit. It just kind of erupted from me. So you just started praying in tongues? Yeah. Going down the road and, you know, praise God, he protected me driving home, but it was incredible. Sounds like my dad, man. My dad, some of his, the biggest encounters that he's really ever had with the Lord have been on the highway. And he'll just be in another place for like an hour on the road, and somehow the Lord just navigates him through it as well. Like you said, thank God he protected you on the road.
Starting point is 00:11:16 Absolutely. I've had a lot of times like that. Whenever, almost every time, literally when I'm going up there to Timberville, I have encounters with God, you know, driving on the highway. You know why I think that, I mean, I could be wrong about this, but it's almost like you have it at that spot because that's what your faith says. It's like you expect it to happen. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. There's a lot to do with it. So the Lord kind of showed you that coaching and teaching would be a part of your life,
Starting point is 00:11:48 but maybe not necessarily on a football field. So where did the Lord take you after that as far as I know that you were a pastor for many years, right? Yeah. Let me say something really quick. I thank you guys. Look, we got Hannah. We're live right now from Costa Rica. You guys just feel free.
Starting point is 00:12:07 I'm not always the best at this, but trying to get better at making sure that people are telling us where they're watching in from, comment, questions that you may have for Brian throughout the show. So bless you guys. Thank you. Go ahead, Brian. Oh, yeah. I'm sorry. What was it?
Starting point is 00:12:22 Oh, yeah. You were talking about what we did after that. About being a pastor. Yeah. Yeah. Such an easy call. I knew I had such an easy I was supposed to do, but when I got filled with the Holy Spirit, I knew that I was called to preach and called to be a minister of the gospel. And I had no idea what that looked like, but I knew I needed to learn. I needed to get a foundation more in the scriptures, in the word of God. I wasn't trained. So some of these men who were discipling me, they were students at the Regent University School of Divinity at Regent University in Virginia Beach. And they said, you need to apply, you know, go to seminary.
Starting point is 00:13:12 They recognized the call of God in my life. And my education at Bridgewater was health and physical education. Like, that's what I majored in. So I really needed this. And we had to take Bible at Bridgewater. So I did take that. But I remember my New Testament professor wasn't even a believer, which is kind of crazy. Wow.
Starting point is 00:13:30 Yeah. But anyhow, so I went to… That makes a lot of worldly sense. Yeah, it does. It makes a lot of sense in the world. I guess you get different opinions, you know, on what the Bible says. But I did have that. I did have that.
Starting point is 00:13:44 And, you know, so I went to Regent, to seminary. I ended up meeting my wife there who came from Russia to also be a student there. When I was being interviewed for the application process or for the admission process, they asked me, what do you feel called to do? And my mind went totally blank. I didn't know what I was called to do. I just knew I was being called. And so the guy looks at me, the admissions counselor, and he's like, I think you're, I think you're an evangelist. And I just said, yeah, yeah, I think I'm an evangelist. And that's what he wrote down. And so, but sure enough, I began my ministry probably in 2002 as a missionary evangelist. You know, my hero was Reinhard Bonnke and T.L. Osborne, like these guys.
Starting point is 00:14:33 I just watched all their VHS tapes back then, you know, and I saw Bonnke had just got back into Nigeria. And I'm like, I saw the videos of like a million people, you know, in his meetings there. And I'm like, I'm going. And luckily, I got invited by a guy in Nigeria through an internship I was doing at the time to go and to preach over there. I ministered in missions from 2002 to 2006. And then we started pastoring in some type of way. We always knew, we felt like God was saying we were going to have a base, you know. Missions was always a part of it, and then we pastored a small work in Central Texas for a short period of time in San uh san marcos area of texas south of austin and then a house church and then
Starting point is 00:15:29 we came back to uh virginia my wife didn't like texas very much it was kind of too hot for the russian girl so we came back to virginia i can imagine those are two extremes right there oh man we had the first year we were there we had 30 straight days of 100 degrees you know in the summer yeah so she was like get me back east so we came back so she likes this weather now huh because it's been the coldest i can remember like almost my whole lifetime in virginia yeah you know she'd never liked the cold cold either you know she's like i didn't like it in russia and i don't like it here. So, but, uh, but she likes Virginia weather. It's not too bad. And, but we, uh, I, um, we quickly were offered by a guy who used to be the Dean at our school divinity. His name is
Starting point is 00:16:15 Vincent Simon. He was a great Pentecostal historian. He said, we've got a church, a Pentecostal holiness church in Williamsburg, Virginia, and they really have a heart for revival. And the pastor's retiring after 25 years. I think you guys should apply. So we applied based on his recommendation and ended up getting that church. It was called Green Springs Chapel. And quickly after we took that job, we were in our 30s at the time, I guess. Oh, yeah. And in the first meeting, I felt led of the Lord to ask the church, like, you know, who wants revival here in Williamsburg, no matter what it looks like? And, you know, we only had maybe like 30 or 40 people left, I think, in the church.
Starting point is 00:17:04 And because it had been through a mess before we came in. And they all stood up. They all said yes. So we started going for God's move in our city, whatever that looked like. It looked a little different than what we thought, but we felt a certain call for us to really host the presence of God to serve our region. So just kind of like what we were describing about Barb Shaw and the way Heart of the Home is, we were like that. You know, so we had, I had at least one big regional event every month. And we brought in Bob Jones and Heidi Baker and Todd Bentley.
Starting point is 00:17:46 I mean, anyone who was traveling in those times, we brought these folks in to minister in our area. Yeah, but it's a big tax on the people to serve the region, to be an equipping center center for the region because the people in your church still have needs as sheep, you know, so it's a big sacrifice. Amen. So, um, we, we were talking before we got on the show and we were talking about, I actually love this attitude because, um, you know, we, we, we talk, I think I mentioned that I used to say, well, the Lord always calls me to do things I don't really want to do. Well, guess what? You need to align your heart with the will of God and learn to love what he's calling you to do. And you said that, you know, everything that you do that the Lord's calling you to do, you love. And I know for me, like, oh my goodness, the thought of pastoring in a church is actually terrifying to me. And,
Starting point is 00:18:45 you know, maybe you can just talk a little bit about some of the grace that God gave you to do that well. And maybe some, because I feel like, you know, here's the thing. A lot of times we know that we have a call on our life and because, you know, we haven't really been necessarily taught about the five-fold ministry that not everybody's call looks the same. It's like we think, OK, well, we're going to go to seminary and we're going to start a church when many times that's not even what we were actually called to do. So you know that you were called to do that. But maybe you can talk about some of the grace because you were called to do it. And maybe some of the challenges, if you think you have a call in your life and you just say, Hey,
Starting point is 00:19:27 I'm going to start a church when maybe you weren't necessarily supposed to. Yeah. So in backwood, when we came out of seminary, I think that was the mindset like, well, you're either going to be a pastor or an evangelist because that's what there was. And that's what it was. So what were you going to be? And I was ministering as a missionary evangelist, and I don't think there was a time back then, even when I was the pastor of the church, I knew I wasn't a pastor. And I asked our church to call me the senior leader of the church. I'm the senior leader. Don't call me pastor because I'm really not a pastor. I kind of knew that, but it was hard to, in a place where not everybody else understood that. You know, so even though... So let me ask you a question, a piggyback. So you said that you
Starting point is 00:20:17 knew you weren't a pastor. So why do you think the Lord called you to do that? Well, I don't think, and I know this could be, he didn't call me to do that. He called me to lead the church as the senior leader of the church. But the people wanted a pastor to be the senior leader of the church, I think, a lot of times, you know, because that's what you're used to having. And I have different opinions on that. They're different than a lot of folks. For me, like, I don't think it's the best idea always for a pastor to be leading the church. People will be like, what?
Starting point is 00:20:48 And I'm like, well, what I mean by that is I was more of an apostolic call. When you're sick in the hospital, you want a pastor with you. You want someone who has a pastoral heart and wants to be with you. You don't want some prophet who's up in the heavens somewhere or an evangelist who his mind is on the street trying to win people to the Lord. You want a pastor who's called to be an anointed to pastor, to care for the sheep, to keep the sheep happy and healthy and cared for. And that's a pastor. And I was not that.
Starting point is 00:21:19 I knew I was not that. So we tried to raise up leaders within the church to be pastors and to be teachers and to be, you know, prophets. And so, uh, what we call the five-fold ministry from Ephesians chapter four, of course. And, uh, but, um, so we were able to do that over time, but it took a while to kind of, uh, to cultivate that, you know, in a, but we were able to do that ultimately. And we ended up raising up a group of leaders and what was our local church basically became our ministry network that we founded. And they're all ministers now, most of them and relate to us.
Starting point is 00:21:56 And we're, they have house churches and homeless ministries and all kinds of other works, you know, in our region now. Yeah, that's good though. I really liked the, the feedback on that because you're saying that you can be called by God to start a church, but not necessarily be called by God to be a pastor. Absolutely. I think Paul was an apostle and he set pastors, you know, in place, you know, and, and,
Starting point is 00:22:24 and I think the biggest mistake I probably made was hanging on too long, you know, because, uh, I think that the best, uh, apostolic people, they're pioneers, they're planters, they're, they're releasing people all the time. And, uh, so, but, but we did, uh, you know, get to do that. And that's how our ministry network that we lead now, the Harvest Family Network, that's how that began. Because we had a need back in 2017 to ordain leaders in the church. And that's how it started. Yeah, well, tell us what you're doing.
Starting point is 00:22:56 So you've been really traveling the world as a missionary, evangelist, apostolic leader since 2017 then is that what i'm hearing since 2002 but we always traveled but it just became it became our network started where we started pastoring other pastors prophets and leaders that started in 2017 so it shifted to a more uh to more i guess of an apostolic role. But I have always done missions every year since I was filled with the Holy Spirit, and some more than others. But it just got to the point around 2018 where everybody knew I was not supposed to be, you know, in the church every week anymore. Like I had to be going.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Valerie and I were supposed to be going. And so we fully transitioned to full-time outside of the local church in 2018. Well, why don't you tell us a little bit about where God has you around the world right now and what you see the Lord doing? I know you go to Africa a lot. You go to Brazil a lot. You're going to Europe a lot. Like what do you see God doing around the world right now? Man, it's a great time in the kingdom. This is the time of great harvest. I believe that. And we, I mean, every church that we've been preaching in lately in other nations, for sure.
Starting point is 00:24:16 But in the United States, if it's a new place, we have salvations every week, you know. And so that's exciting. Like, God's moving. There's great moves of young adults all over the world, all over Europe, all over South America, all the major cities in Europe. I know they have one great ministry that's moving in Europe is CFAN, Christ for All Nations. And what they're doing is they have these, what they call fire camps in all the major cities of Europe. And they're raising up young people to do evangelism and praise and worship. And they're doing it in the streets.
Starting point is 00:24:53 And I mean, it's really a fantastic time, you know, in the body of Christ. With the way things, we've been used powerfully in a move of God in Brazil. I've been going there since around 2002, but heavily since 2014. And there's a powerful move of God of young adults there. And I was going before the pandemic eight times a year to Brazil. Now I go about five times a year and my wife goes now, you know, as well. She's been traveling more with me and by herself. And, uh, but, uh, before last year, we really felt God was telling us to focus a little bit more on the U S and Europe. So we took that where I was going eight times a year to down to four or
Starting point is 00:25:37 five and split the rest of those times in Europe. Let me ask you this about Brazil, because, um, I don't know if this is accurate, but I hear that there's like more supernatural miracles in Brazil than like most countries in the world. Is that something, do you see a lot of miracles and signs and wonders when you're in Brazil? Yeah, but you know, we see that here in the States too. You know, we have a different ministry. I always like to put that out there because people always ask how come we don't see more here. And I say we do. For our ministry, we minister different in different places we go. Some places I'm more of like a father when I come in or a counselor. Some we're more like we minister in the prophetic. It's all pretty much prophetic. Every time I go there, we're prophesying over 200-300 people every night. Some, it's healing. It's really different for us, but in Brazil,
Starting point is 00:26:32 there's a big move of God, so there is more miracles happening there, I think, because there's more preaching of the gospel happening there. There's more mission schools there than anywhere else in the world, more ministry schools there than anywhere else in the world, more missionaries going from there, I think more than anywhere else than maybe the United States. I mean, United States may have more still, but after then, everywhere I go in the world, there's Brazilians on the field. Like I meet everywhere, you know, pastoring churches all over the world. And so I believe and have always believed, and we had in our church, every service, you know, prayer for the sick. You know, we saw everything over the years here in Virginia that we've seen anywhere
Starting point is 00:27:16 else. So. No, I'm with you completely on that. And I think you probably know that because, you know, signs and wonders have been a part of my daily life for many years and most of my time has been spent in the United States and even specifically in the state of Virginia so I get a little fired up sometimes when people say well you know Jesus couldn't do miracles in his hometown I'm like guys I have seen babies resurrected from the womb in my hometown I've seen people healed of cancer I've seen many people have devils cast out of them in my hometown. Now there are people in my hometown that I know, and I don't mean to say this, well, this is what it is because of who I used to be. They would rather die than have prayer from me. Yeah. But I'm talking about me. Jesus lives in me, but I'm talking about me. So there is, I do not believe for a second
Starting point is 00:28:02 that Jesus was not able to do miracles in his hometown because like the power just left him. He couldn't do miracles. I believe that they just could not see him for who they were. They had no faith. So they didn't even reach out for prayer. I don't know if you have thoughts on that, but anyways. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I think that that that that is a thing for sure. We've, you know, like I said, when we had a local church, we had a whole page on our website that was just miracle testimonies, you know, and I wanted them up there. I wanted them up there all the time so people can see like these things are happening right here in our town. So I bet still pastors will always ask that. And, you know, and I think it's a boldness thing.
Starting point is 00:28:56 I really believe it's a risk thing where a lot of times people aren't willing to go there and to do that. But I do know there is something to the hometown thing. I know where it's either that or people knew your past or people might even be kind of like maybe intimidated by the anointing on your life. You know, that could be a thing too. And like we had a season when we were leading local churches, but for instance, but we know we're not called to do that now. We support and we serve local churches. we encourage pastors and we pastor them. But I have no desire to start a local church anywhere. The Lord's told us not to right now, to serve the church. But it was a thing for us after we stepped aside from leading the local church that people in our hometown, they get nervous if we even come to worship there. So we drive to worship.
Starting point is 00:29:47 If I'm in town, we will go at least an hour away to go to church. Wow. I honestly, because I go once every eight weeks to Heart of the Home, that's basically our home church. I love everybody in that church. Well, Brian, this was not because I'm like afraid of going to church in my hometown, but if you haven't noticed, we drive over an hour to get to our home church too. Yeah, that's right. Yeah. But I think that like, I don't want to speak for you, but I do think that we're both saying that
Starting point is 00:30:16 guys, please don't feel like you have to go to Brazil or Africa to see miracles in your life because you can see them in your own backyard. Absolutely. Yeah. And what really encouraged me when I was a young minister of the gospel was I would read the stories of, you know, like God's generals or the autobiography of Oral Roberts and things like that, that just got me motivated and hungry to see these things, you know, here in our home, in our hometown. And the real ministry, you real ministry happens as we're living our life in the community, just like we read about in the Gospels. And then we all come together in the local churches.
Starting point is 00:30:55 And my philosophy of the local church is we're coming to bring something. We're bringing our worship. We're bringing our gifts. The old way I was taught was you go to church to receive all the time, but I think it's supposed to look different. I agree completely. Yeah, that's awesome. We're sitting here talking about the hometowns,
Starting point is 00:31:21 and I was going to ask you to maybe share something that you've seen, uh, you know, in Africa or Brazil, but I would love to just hear maybe to help increase people's faith of, cause see the Lord, I don't, he talks to us all differently. Of course, we all have a unique intimate relationship with him. But I remember there was a time where I'm like, Lord, give me the nation, send me to the nations. And he basically said, open up your door, son. And who have you, you know, showed me who have you evangelized he basically said, open up your door, son. And who have you, you know, showed me who have you evangelized? Who have you shared the gospel with? Who have you loved in your neighbors, in your, in your own neighborhood? And then by the time he moved us out of that neighborhood, you know, I had, I had led people to the Lord and seen miracles and shared a
Starting point is 00:31:57 lot of, uh, you know, beautiful things with people right there in my neighborhood. So I would love to just hear something that maybe you have seen that God has supernaturally done in your own hometown throughout those years. Oh man, our hometown. Man, even when I was pastoring, like I would go at lunchtime and just drive around looking for like easy targets, you know? Like I was just like, I'm looking for somebody limping on the side of the road or a homeless person. You don't have to have a word from God when you see that, right? Right.
Starting point is 00:32:31 Like one time I remember when I was pastoring the church in my city, like I went out looking for, because I felt like the Holy Spirit was saying, go minister to the homeless. And I started driving around my town and I realized I don't even know where the homeless people are in my town. Like, and like, how bad is that? Like as a pastor in the town. So, uh, I think we can be intentional and things like that, but God would always lead me, you know, in times like that to pray for people and, uh, see all kinds of, uh, miracles. And like in our church, man, the stuff we saw over the years was just really incredible. Some of the miracles we had, we had this one night where we had three people who had scars on their body. The scars, like, totally disappeared in the presence of God during a time of praise and worship, you know. That's awesome that you say that.
Starting point is 00:33:28 I think there's a reason you probably share that. Hi, Lisa Perna. Thank you. We love you. You guys share the show, please. So Jaqueline Pennyman, I don't know if you know Jaqueline, but he came to the heart of the home this weekend and they had like a glory night on Saturday night. And Ned, you know, Ned got up on Sunday and he shared about, because nobody prayed over him. And this is important, I think, for people to see. You don't have to have the anointed man of God to pray over you for God to heal you. And he woke up the morning, and there was a scar that had been on his face for several years that was gone just from being in the glory of God. Come on, I love that. I love that so much. And one of the things that we try to do everywhere we go is, I really have a heart for this. And it's a big deal in Brazil because Brazil used to be a mostly Catholic nation, you know, where they were very reliant on the priest to, like, bless people.
Starting point is 00:34:18 And, you know, I love that. And I love the anointings on men, but I've always really contended for the glory realm in getting people to know that God's in the room and to expect Him to heal you without anybody laying hands on you. So everywhere we go, we try to cultivate that. Some places it's more easy than the others. You know, people, no matter how much we talk about it, preach about it, and I love to pray for people. So no matter how much we talk about it, preach about it, and I love to pray for people. So no matter how much we talk about it, there's still a line of people that want you to pray for them after the service is over. And that's great.
Starting point is 00:34:51 And I love to do it, and I always will. But, man, he's the healer, and he's walking among us. I learned from people like Denny Hinn and Reinhard Bonnke and these people by watching their meetings that were extremely large that they never laid hands on any of these people that got healed in their meetings. They just told them to worship and praise God, and then they prayed, and it happens in this presence, in the glory. So I really want to help cultivate that in our generation. Yeah, I always share. I said, you know, the Bible says lay hands on the sick and they will recover. But it doesn't say you have to have your hands on the sick for them to be healed and recover. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:35 Yeah, that's right. I like to mess around and have like this kingdom walk is such serious business, but I have fun and God has a sense of humor. I told some people at our conference last weekend, I said, guys, like, I know that oil is in the Bible, like anointing, you know, through oil, like that's legit. But it's like, where does our faith really lie? Because is it in the bottle of oil or is it in you? Brian, Britain is an anointed bottle of oil. I said, guys, I said, I could take a bottle of ketchup and anoint it and pour it on somebody and they could be healed. Yes, absolutely. For sure. I mean, I've seen people healed with shadows, like in scripture. You know, I've seen that.
Starting point is 00:36:20 So, yeah, there's God. And even Jesus, he did it different all the time. You know, sometimes he spoke, sometimes he made, he sometimes he spit and made mud or spit on someone's tongue. He was always led by the Holy Spirit. And that's what we ultimately need to do. It's never really three steps to this or that, usually, with the Holy Spirit. He's leading you. He's alive.
Starting point is 00:36:45 It looks a little different every time, you know, depending, you know, on what's going on. But I'm so glad we live in a time when we are seeing these kinds of, you know, miracles and signs and wonders in our, you know, in our generation. I'll go into a church and ask people in the church, you know, who here has ever been healed like supernaturally by God? And most of the time, most of the churches like raise their hands, you know, that's good. Yeah, it's really good. Well, good stuff, brother. Um, I think we are going to shift a little bit and we'll see where the Lord takes us on this, but I felt led to release something. Are you okay? If I speak something over you on the show? Absolutely. Yeah. I didn't think that you would say no, but I want to ask. Oh no, man, I'm ready to receive. So this is by a prophet, my friend Chris,
Starting point is 00:37:35 who's an intercessor for the show. And I mean, he's a very specially gifted, anointed man of God. So sometimes the Lord shows him things for, for our guests. And so I'm just going to speak this over you and then we'll see where the Lord takes us from there. So he said, as I was praying today, he saw Brian in the spirit and the Lord was clapping his hands and knew the Lord was very pleased with you. And the Lord said, job well done. Then he spoke this about Brian, that you see things in advance. You understand what's about to happen. You hear God's voice and execute his plans. Then Chris saw in the spirit, a strong wind coming or tornado. And the Lord was in the tornado moving through the
Starting point is 00:38:17 territory, tearing down things so they could be rebuilt. Then he spoke, Brian is my front man. He tears down and builds up. He sees the bigger picture. I then saw in the spirit, Brian standing Then he spoke, we used to have in our cars and they were laid down at his feet. And I knew these were given, that these were revelations from God given to Brian. I saw Brian kneel down and begin to examine each revelation before him on the ground. He was taking his time as these are new revelations and the order of execution is important. And then the Lord spoke that these are new revelations and need to be studied well before moving forward. Yeah, that's really good. I received that. It's really confirming. Is it? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. Yeah, yeah, praise God. Yeah. So who is that from again? From Chris?
Starting point is 00:39:21 Yeah, my friend Chris Beck. Well, thanks, Chris. I really appreciate that. I will pray into that as well. If you could send that to me, that'd be great. Yeah, well, he's very accurate. It seems like you're taking it in and maybe surprised. I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Well, he was talking about the maps.
Starting point is 00:39:44 That was something that's really something how God speaks to me. And I do feel like I know where we're going like i see things the big picture like that's very much like you know who i am for sure and you know something that i took from that is it does um you know he doesn't know you at all and so he you know some of the things we're talking about things uh tearing down so they can be rebuilt and that kind of thing that That's like part of like, I believe, the apostolic call. Oh, nice. I have a whole map thing right here, Atlas right here. Oh, that's awesome. We love that. You know, some part of the apostolic call in your life. So maybe you can talk some about like how the Lord, you know, specifically will send you and of course others
Starting point is 00:40:21 into territories with specific intent, you know, that to take over territory for the kingdom of God and what being an apostolic leader really looks like. Maybe you can touch some on that. Well, to speak to what you just said, I do know a lot of times, you know, we'll find ourselves in a place at the, at beginning times, at times when people are beginning to step into the vision and plan that God has for them. Like we find ourselves in these places and we know that we're going to be with, you know, these folks for a long time. We're going to be walking with them for a long time. And we will go, oftentimes when I go to a place, like the Lord will show me
Starting point is 00:40:59 my first night, usually when I'm asleep in a house or a hotel, like I'll see, he'll reveal to me like the strong man or the strongholds in an area, you know, to pray even before we begin, you know, in ministry. And then to stand with the local churches for God's move, you know, in their city and in their region. So we come in and the Lord will reveal to us what's going on, kind of like spiritually. And then we'll begin to declare what we feel, you know, the Lord's sharing with us with his heart, you know, for his move in that season in the house, in the region of what God's doing there, you know, and we will always come in and encourage and lift up the leadership of the local church, you know, when we're there as well, the Lord will, uses us greatly, you know, in that. But I think the apostolic anointing really, it's kind of like it brings a hammer to the region. It's like God just, boom, like saying it's time, it's time, it's time.
Starting point is 00:41:58 And when you have that, sometimes when you're ministering that kind of anointing, like afterwards, there's a little bit of a shaking, you know, that happens. So I'm always trying to make sure, you know, I stay in touch with the leaders and the pastors in that place after we come and go, because we want to come back. But we have noticed, and I even noticed as a pastor, when we would bring in apostolic men and women like i remember every time we brought in david hogan like there was a big shaking that would happen
Starting point is 00:42:31 the next week so like when you say a big shaking that would happen what what do you like give me an example of that i mean like for no reason things just start kind of blowing up like you might have a worship leader quit for like no reason or like you just, uh, uh, demonic strongholds that are like coming down basically start. Yeah. They're coming down, they're manifesting, they're crying out like that type of stuff does happen. So kind of on that, on that page, you know, um, as somebody who goes into remote places all over the world, are, do over the world, do you find it important to be very strategic where you go? Like, do you believe that you could just go anywhere at any time? And because you're, you know, representing the kingdom of God and Jesus lives in you, that
Starting point is 00:43:16 you're going to be good? Or are there some places that you know that it's not time yet, that you have to be careful? I'm curious about, you know, as far as taking over territory from the enemy, what God has shown you through some of these remote places. Yeah, so like my heart is always, I've got him in me and I can go anywhere and I'm going to be good and I know that. But at the same point in time, like he often like keeps me, you know, from places like that. Sometimes he'll let me go.
Starting point is 00:43:47 And that type of thing you learn as you're in it. I don't think it's just something that you know right out of the gates. So I learned that over the years. You know, it's better to be sent even than invited. And sometimes there will be open doors that we have. And I know we have a lot of open doors in the nations for sure, but I just don't feel a green light. I haven't felt the trigger pulled. We're supposed to pull the trigger on that yet. It's just not the right time. And, you know, sometimes even with my wife, Valerie, like, I'll feel like I'm supposed to go and she'll
Starting point is 00:44:18 say, I don't know about that. And the Lord will use us both together to kind of, to sense his direction. But, yeah, so I've learned over the years that you don't just go running off. You don't just go picking fights. The sons of Sceva are real, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure. I don't want to be one of those. You know, I know that he knows me,
Starting point is 00:44:47 but you don't want to go running out there and picking fights that you're not supposed to be in. Do you have any examples that would maybe help teach people about that? Or was there ever a time that you went somewhere and maybe you got a little ahead of yourself in your younger days and you realized, okay, this is serious? Well, there are some times when I thought that I definitely thought that, but I knew by how God showed up that he was in it. But I definitely felt over my head a lot, especially in the early days. Like I remember being in Nigeria on my first trip. I think it was my first trip. So it was 2002. And I went there
Starting point is 00:45:28 and just at the invitation, I didn't know anyone there personally yet. This is before Facebook and all that stuff, you know, so I just talked to his pastor on the phone. And we're in the second night of these crusade meetings, healing crusades in the bush. I mean, way out in the middle of nowhere. And there's a few thousand people in this field. And I preached the first night, and it was a good meeting. It's my first time ever on the mission field in Africa. And I mean, people got saved, people got healed. I was extremely happy with what happened in the first night when I ministered. And then on the second night, he ministered, my friend, the Nigerian brother, Pastor John Isagohoy. He lives in Canada now.
Starting point is 00:46:12 But he had anointing for deliverance. I didn't really know that at the time. And nobody where we were really knew him except the pastors. You know, he wasn't from this place we were in. And he opens up his Bible and he just, I think he just says, Hallelujah or praise the Lord or something like that. And I mean, every demon spirit within the hundred yards just started screaming and rolling and came to the front.
Starting point is 00:46:39 And it's like really crazy. And I'm like, what in the world? Like I was just here like yesterday, these same people, like what's going on? Like I didn't know what in the world was happening. And he just looks at me and he was like, Pastor Brian, take this handkerchief and everybody you touch is going to be set free. And I'm just like, what? Like I'm thinking of this moment, like what have I got myself into? You know, this is wild scene, wild scene.
Starting point is 00:47:07 And then so I, you know, kind of half faith, faith level 50% start walking out. It's still bigger than a mustard seed. Yeah, but God begins to move and all the people get set free. And there's like this one woman who's like a special case. And she's like over on the far side. And I start walking over there and some of the other pastors, they're like, no, no, no, you don't want to go over there. And I'm like, no, I'm going. Like something in me was like, no, I need to go. And I look at the pastor on the platform, Pastor John, and he's like, yeah, yeah, go, go go and so I'm walking over there this lady's screaming and then she
Starting point is 00:47:47 screams out in English you're not Jesus you're not Jesus she's screaming that at me and I thought this was like a Sons of Sceva like moment for a second because that's what they said the spirit said but you know no she was just afraid
Starting point is 00:48:03 and the demon spirit was afraid, and right, you know, she got set free as well, but I had that moment, I'm like, oh, wow, like, what have I done, or you're in places, and it's the middle of Ramadan, and the lights go out, and you're all by yourself, and you're just hearing the prayers, and you're like, where, and what am I doing, like, I'm here by myself myself and I don't know, but like one person, or there's a lot of situations like that. You're in a tent in the middle of Africa, you know, on a little things that aren't comfortable. Like you put your tent on a bunch of African fire ants or there's spiders in your room and Sudan, like little things like that,
Starting point is 00:48:41 you know, that are practical things, you know? Yeah, man, you know, the Lord has started opening up the nations for me. And, you know, as you know, we're going to, we went to Costa Rica a couple of times this past year. We'll be going back a few more times this year. And I've probably gotten at least 20 invitations to Africa in the last six months to go and minister. And I just, I don't know. I don't know if it's fear or I just feel like it's not time yet or it's not the right connections. I'm not really sure.
Starting point is 00:49:06 So we'll see where that goes. Yeah, you'll know when you're supposed to go. Like, you know, there's places that I really want to go, but I don't think it's the right time yet. Uh-oh. We lost him. Can we get him back? Hell, that has never happened before. Shoot.
Starting point is 00:49:35 Am I still live? All right, well, we're going to wait for Brian to get back on here in a minute if we can. And that's never happened before, so we're going to try to Brian to get back on here in a minute if we can. And that's never happened before. So we're going to try to get Brian back on the call. I'm actually shocked that's never happened before. But we're calling him. So answer the phone, Brian, right now in the name of Jesus. Are you on there?
Starting point is 00:50:01 I'm back. All right. I said we've done this show for about, Lisa said, oh, no. We've done this show, I think, for about 40 weeks. And surprisingly, that's the first time that's ever happened. As soon as I start talking about going to Africa, I don't know what that means. I'll try not to look into it too much. But, yeah, so we only have about 10 minutes left.
Starting point is 00:50:22 But it's interesting. I don't know. We kind of talked this about this at the beginning of the show, but I'm glad, gosh, we've talked about a lot that I was not expecting us to talk about at all today, but I think there's a reason the Lord took us, uh, you know, where, where we discussed. So, you know, we were talking about sports at the beginning of the show and would you say, cause I know for me, the Lord taught me so much through sports and through coaching and athletics, uh, to prepare me for the kingdom of God. And I would just wanted to see if there was like specific things that you could say that the Lord, you know, through your athletics and coaching career did to prepare you for the kingdom.
Starting point is 00:50:56 Man, working as part of a team, I think is the best. Like as far as like also perseverance, not quitting. Like in ministry, like everyone I know, whether it's, you know, Mama Heidi Baker or everyone we talk to that we know intimately, they've all told us how they wanted to quit at one time or another, you know, but you just, you don't quit. You hold on to the promise of God. You keep moving when there's resistance, you know, you just, you just don't quit. And I think I learned that, you know, in sports, I wanted to quit when I was young. And I remember I quit wrestling and my dad said, you're never going to quit anything again. I'll let you quit, but you're
Starting point is 00:51:39 never going to quit anything again. And then, uh, I wanted to quit football like every year, like high school, college. Like I just, there was a time where then I wanted to quit football like every year, like high school, college. There was a time where I just wanted to quit, but you just don't quit. You don't give up. And I ended up being the captain of the team and second team all conference in college, but I wanted to quit all the time. And in ministry, so many times it's hard. I think so many people I know are anointed. They're more gifted, more anointed than most of the people I know in ministry, including myself. And when it starts getting hard, they think, man, like maybe this isn't the Lord, or maybe I missed it. And they start doing things they're not supposed to be doing, you know, because they give up. And so that, I think that's the biggest thing,
Starting point is 00:52:22 no matter how, whether you're hurt, whether you don't have the, you know, the finances aren't where you want them to be, or it just doesn't seem, man, you just, you just keep on doing what God told you to do. Lisa Parno just said she wanted to quit at least 30 times last year. Yes. Yeah. You know, the first prophetic like word that I ever got in my life. And, you know, I remember these, some of them that just really stick with you of like a known real prophet was from Jamie Galloway. Are you familiar with Jamie Galloway? Yeah. We had Jamie a couple of times at our church. Okay, cool. So he called me, you know,
Starting point is 00:52:59 I was like first time ever seeing a prophet. So I kind of like hid in the back corner. It's like, well, God, if you see me, come find me if you have something for me. And sure enough, he did. And you know, my life with Ann now, and we have four children, but at that time we had one, we were really struggling to have a baby. And he actually told me that night, he said that you are going to be a father again. And like my wife started bawling. And it was literally, I think only three months after that, that she got pregnant with the triplet. So the Lord was speaking that into existence. But the thing that I remember, to piggyback on what you're saying, is that he told me he saw like the oil in the car.
Starting point is 00:53:35 And he was basically sharing with me like this walk, this kingdom walk, like it's not a sprint. It's a marathon. That's it, man. You have to stay the course. Yeah. And he, in the Lord, you know, he renews the oil all the time at which, which cuts down on the, on the friction and the damage that you might, that might happen, you know, over the years from the heat and the extreme conditions and all that.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Like he's really faithful about that, about doing that. But so much of success in life, ministry, business, anything is like, just don't quit. And then one day, you're one of the last guys in the room, and hey, you're the VP now because, like, you've been here the longest, and you know the business inside and out. There's just something about that. And in ministry, like, it's the same in the spirit. So have you had a lot of times personally that you have wanted to quit yourself?
Starting point is 00:54:29 Oh, yeah. You question it. You're like, is this what I'm supposed to be doing, Lord? Is this really because I want to be? It's a big responsibility, right? I got to take care of my family. Think about the future. All these things.
Starting point is 00:54:43 You're sacrificing a lot when you're especially when you're involved with missions type of ministry you know it it takes a lot so uh yeah so you're always asking you know lord is this what you want me to do like because i'm open to anything like you know yeah well yeah i said be careful what i've made that uh commitment to the lord many years ago i said i'll do whatever it is you're calling me to do, Lord. I'll do it. And I tell people, be careful before you ask that. Yeah. Yes, for sure. Because you don't know what he's going to call you to do. Yeah. He's probably usually going to look a little grotesque. Sorry, go ahead. Yeah. He'll give you a grace for it though, you know, like while you're in it.
Starting point is 00:55:23 Well, it's like doing the show. I would have never, like people think, oh, well, Nate just went out and started a show. That's like not at all what happened. It wasn't anywhere on my radar. I didn't approach them. They didn't approach me. It was literally the Lord. And I prayed on it for 40 days just to make sure I could commit to that because I knew it would be, you know, at least a one-year commitment. And it's amazing what the Lord will give you the grace to do and do it well when he's calling you to do it.
Starting point is 00:55:45 Come on, absolutely. But I appreciate that encouragement because, you know, the truth is I almost, and I keep it real, and for better or worse, most people know that. And I rarely have those thoughts about, Lord, like, what am I doing? Like, am I supposed to be doing this? But I have had those thoughts at times recently, so it's good to hear that. And when you say everybody has it, and to hear Lisa Perna say, I that, you know, 30 times last year and you just you just got to keep going. It's this walk. It's not easy. There's resistance, whether we see it or not. And, you know, the enemy hates us and people, you know, of course, I don't believe that he should be able to touch us.
Starting point is 00:56:17 But that doesn't mean he's not going to try. That's right. Yeah, he'll know he can he'll try to sift us like wheat for sure, you know. But I'll tell you, yeah, I really respect people who are in full-time ministry, especially. Like, I respect everyone, but I have a special respect for ministers because all the ones I know, like, they could be doing so many other things, you know. I mean, they could just be doing so many other things, you know, I mean, they could just be doing so many other things there. They have charisma, they have giftings, they, but they're, they've, they're sacrificing so much to, to just follow, follow him into, uh, this really uncertain, uh, realm life that is ministry. Okay. So, uh, uh, now I, I do understand. I prayed at times like, Lord, can I just please be bivocational or something?
Starting point is 00:57:06 Can you find a way for me to do that? And there's just never any grace for me when I try to do that. And so I just finally got the, I understood one day what I needed to do. So no matter what it is, we just need to find what God's calling you to do, whether it's to be a doctor, a lawyer, educator, or a minister and do that. And you're going to feel the grace and the oil. By the way, when you were a coach, what was your style? Were you, were you tough? Were you, were you wild? Were you calm? What were you like as a coach pre-kingdom life? Well, you know, it, it kind of depended on the staff I was on. So usually when I was a young guy, I was probably a little bit more calm, like maybe my first year, trying to feel my way in,
Starting point is 00:57:51 didn't want to rock the boat too much. And then my second year, I was a little stronger as a coach. But then my third year, I was on a staff where it was kind of a good cop, bad cop kind of staff, and I was a good cop. And my buddy, know uh he passed away a couple years ago matt fouts he was uh from rockingham county virginia he was the he was the bad cop and he would just rip he would rip kids like he would just rip and then i come along and i'd build them back up you know you know after that and tell them i love what they're doing and
Starting point is 00:58:22 they're you know they're capable how talented talented they are. We would work together. So you kind of got to find your place on the staff. So Brian Britton now walking with the Lord for so many years and so many lessons. If you were to go out to coach right now, would you ever get in your flesh out on that football field? Well, I think you probably would for a moment and then you'd have to take all your thoughts captive to obedience in Christ. Amen. That's a good answer. That's the answer I would give, but I will be honest there. If there's any place where I sometimes still get in my flesh, it's when I'm coaching my son. It shows me that I still have a ways to grow. Yeah. You know, when my daughter played volleyball for years and, and I told myself,
Starting point is 00:59:02 you know what, I'm just going to sit and I'm not going to say anything I'm going to watch and I'm going to cheer on but I'm not going to I'm not going to yell at the coach or anything and no matter how many times I wanted to you know I might have been staring like Adam a lot but I never said anything I need to take some lessons because he as I said anointed man of God in their own hometown being a coach and people also know you're a minister it's like all eyes anything, anything you slip up, it's like, ah, well, you know, anyways. Oh yeah, for sure. But yeah, we're going to, we're going to wrap up the show. I always ask people this. I know you're a prophetic voice. Clearly you hear from God and just, you know, our region and you know me a little bit as well. Is there anything on your heart? If you see if the Lord shows you anything about
Starting point is 00:59:45 anything that you see for our region, for Charlottesville or for even White Mountain or this show as well. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Could I do that in a prayer? Yeah, of course. Yeah. Cool. Cool. Yeah. So, so father, we just thank you for this time today wow thank you oh for you for your son nate for for putting this in his heart lord for calling him for anointing him we thank you for this show lord we thank you for white mountain we thank you for so many that are coming in and just uh this is like a port for the kingdom of heaven you know throughout the region and even around the world and we thank you for your heart for charlottville, that you love the city, you love the people, Lord. And I pray that it would be known for the presence of God, for the presence of God. And I thank you that you, I feel like, Nate, that God's
Starting point is 01:00:36 establishing you as his mouthpiece, as a trumpet, you know, even in this hour, and like a shofar in his hands, declaring the truth and the will and the word of God. And I think that you're a great light set on the hill, set on top of the mountain, you know, that's going off in all directions. And I saw God lifting you up with his hand and even lifting the ministry up with his hand. We thank you for that, Father.
Starting point is 01:01:02 And I saw him protecting you against the winds. And I saw like even, it was like anything that was of the enemy couldn't even come up the mountain at all. It all had to stay down at the bottom of the mountain. And he's got you on the top of the mountain protecting you from anything that would harm what he wants to release. And Lord, I just ask your blessing upon his family, these beautiful kids, Lord, and his wife. And we just thank you for the love in their home and peace in their home. Oh, thank you, Father. I thank you for what you're doing all throughout the Shenandoah Valley, from the north to the south, from the north to the south, the many fires burning,
Starting point is 01:01:38 many fires burning. And I saw you guys as a source of the fire, just as the, whoa, up and down, up and down from north to south, north to south. And I said, I know the Lord has given you this platform and he's going to speak to you about who to give, allow their voice to be shared as he trusts you. You know, this is something that he's given you because he trusts you. And I think you're stewarding it well. So I feel the pleasure of the Lord in how you're stewarding the platform that he's given you and allowing, I saw mothers and fathers from throughout the body of Christ coming to speak. You know, I had a dream once years ago when we were kind of hosting the presence of God in our region. And in the
Starting point is 01:02:25 dream, I had been running up and down the coast here, and I had an American flag tied around my head, and I was setting up this microphone. It was a shaky, really humble microphone. But I knew I saw planes landing, coming and going right beside me on the water. And I haven't thought about this in years, but as I'm praying for you, I'm thinking about this, that it's a similar anointing that's on your life to host the presence to serve the region. And many ministries are going to come in, and you're providing that. It looks like a very humble microphone, but it's the word of God that's going forth. And you're a watchman very much, a doorkeeper here on the east coast of Virginia. And I just want to speak that blessing over your life. And, whoa, you're a key piece. And I know God's connecting you with other key pieces up and down.
Starting point is 01:03:21 It's not just the valley. It's the east coast of the United States of America. So I think that the fires are going to, it's almost like the light that's coming from the top of the mountain, just like different radio towers can send out signals further distances. I just really saw like the light is growing, how far the light, you know, shines from mountaintop to mountaintop. And it's a time where people need to hear the revelation that's coming forth in this generation from the Word of God through His servants. And I saw that there was great distances that aren't receiving the light,
Starting point is 01:03:57 but they're going to be able to receive the light through what God's doing through White Mountain. So we just thank you for that. And we ask your protection, Lord, family and the ministry. Send people alongside of Nate to hold up his arms. And thank you for what he's hosting, you know, throughout the region and the events that you're putting on his heart to do. You continue to bless them, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Yeah, thank you, brother. That was beautiful. I'll definitely have to go back and watch that for sure. But we're about to wrap up. But anything that you can tell our viewers where they can find Brian Britton, support Brian Britton, what you're doing, anything that you would like to plug on the show?

And I will say this about Brian. When he says that, he means that because it was a couple of years back that I don't even remember who told me about you. It might've been Barbara. I'm not really sure, but they gave me the name and I reached out to you on Facebook
Starting point is 01:06:02 and you responded right back within, I don't know if it was a day or a couple hours, I don't remember, but it was quickly. So when he says that, he means that. And the same goes for me, guys. If people are reaching out to me on social media, I mean, I try my best to almost always get in touch if I see the message. So bless you guys.
Starting point is 01:06:20 I just thank you for watching today. Please share the show. That's how people are watching it all around the world.
