Awakened Worship Encounter | August 2023

A couple of weeks ago I was given the opportunity to speak on a Wednesday night. Actually it was July 26th, so I think it was just two weeks ago, maybe three people, I don't know. Two weeks ago, July 26th. I don't know why I do this to myself, but it was kind of a last minute invitation from the pastor, Stephanie. But so when she asked me, I said yes right away and, and really was like, well, I'll just talk about where the Lord's had me hanging out in, which is in the book of Genesis.

He's been talking to me a lot about the generations even as I've been in the book of Genesis. And I really believe that the message tonight is a companion message to that message. So if you want to hear that message, you can go on the Refuge app and under the Wednesday night teachings. It's there, it's called Breaking Cycles. But I am going to give you like a five minute summary of that message to create context for tonight.

It's a 45 minute message on the app, but I'm going to take a few minutes to talk about it to kind of get us to where we are tonight. And I know, I can feel it like the enemy does not want this message to go forth. The Lord wants to move in the room tonight and we're going to let him in Jesus name, even if we're hot. Amen.

So we looked at Adam and Eve on that Wednesday night and we talked about how Adam and Eve were given the choice through the tree of knowledge of good and evil. They were given the choice and this was their choice. Are we going to let God define good and evil or are we going to seize autonomy and define good and evil for ourselves? Not dissimilar to what we're facing in culture now. Everyone wants to define good and evil for themselves.

There's no absolutes. And the gospel, the truth of the word of God is far from being a plumb line, much less a tuning fork in our day. But it is what we need. God determines what is good and evil. Not because he's a narcissist and he needs people doing the things that he thought up.

No, because he knows the path to righteousness and peace and healing and abundant life.

So the serpent came to bring that question to Adam and Eve.

He said, so God said that if you eat of the tree, you're going to die. Eve, die. You're not going to die. God just doesn't want you to be like him. So then the question comes to Eve and then Adam Is God really good, or is he trying to withhold something from me?

I would rather define what is good and what is evil. See, God is trying to withhold from you Eve all the knowledge and wisdom that he has. And while Adam and Eve were given authority over all the animals, they were given dominion over all of creation, to not only have authority over it, but to harness it to get its full potential out of creation. So all of the medical advances, the technology advances, were given to humankind by God. They were given dominion.

Yet the enemy comes, the serpent comes, and they did not take their authority over this created thing, this animal. They didn't take authority. They gave in. So they're expelled from the Garden. They're still in Eden, but not in the Garden of Eden.

They've been expelled to the realm of death. Even though they didn't die in the moment, their days became limited and they went into the realm of death. They began to have children. They had Cain and Abel. And Cain and Abel, when they became grown, were giving the offerings of their work.

Abel worked the flocks, and Cain worked the fruit of the ground. They both brought their offerings to God. God looked favorably on Abel's offering, but he did not look favorably on Cain's offering. There's all kinds of reasons and ideas of why that could be. The Bible's not abundantly clear.

I'm not going to get into that tonight, although it is fascinating to explore. But we just know that the Lord looked more favorably on Abel's offering, and it made Cain extremely angry. In Genesis 4, it says, why are you angry? The Lord said to Cain, why do you look so dejected? You will be accepted if you do what is right.

But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out. Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you, but you must subdue it and be its master. So here Cain is dealing with this anger and jealousy and comparison with Abel. And God's telling him, you're not too far gone, but you, sin is crouching at your door, like you're really close to giving in to something that will not be good. Well, the way that English translation reads, in the English crouching, sin is crouching.

Crouching is listed more as a verb, but it's actually a noun, so it translates better as the sin croucher is at your door, like there's an animal waiting to pounce. And that animal is sin. And he's saying to the next generation after Adam and Eve, just like I called your parents to rule over the animals, and they didn't they let the animal, the serpent, rule over them. I'm calling you to rule over the inner animal, the crouching animal. Envy and jealousy whispering in Cain's ear.

And he does not take dominion over that inner animal. And he murders his brother. So here, Adam and Eve have these lineages coming from them. But when they sinned, God came. He punished the enemy.

That's a whole other sermon. And then he told them what their consequences would be. But before he told them what their consequences would be, he told the enemy that there is a seed coming from women. From woman. You might crush that seed, that man's heel, but he will crush your head.

And he will come from the very ones who just sinned. I was weeping considering that a couple weeks ago. What a God that even in our wanderings, he says, your victory for you and your victory for many that come after you will come through you, if you get this right. And this is the call. But Cain kind of repeated.

Not kind of. He repeated the lack of standing in the authority and dominion that he had over the animals, just like Adam and Eve didn't take dominion over the animal. Does that make sense to you? I don't know why I asked that. What do I do if you say no?

I run off the stage and cry.

So as the genealogies are laid out early in Genesis, generationally through the line of Cain, we have Enoch and Lamech and this line of angry and envious and jealous and murderous people, because that cycle was never broken. But God had promised to Adam and Eve that the seed of woman would crush the head of the enemy, which Cain was the first seed to come forth. And Eve thought he could be the one to bring victory. And he was actually the one that didn't take dominion. And his lineage became racked with envy and sin and murder.

But they were given Seth to replace Abel. And through Seth's line through multiple generations, it landed on Noah, where God started over again with you, if you will, with one family, just Noah's family on the ark and the animals once again, so that he could start in purity and in obedience before his throne. Very beautiful. From Adam and Eve, there was the negative lineage that Cain. Those cycles were never broken, but then they were given a positive and beautiful messianic lineage through Seth.

So tonight we're going to explore this same topic of cycles and things that are past in the context of the divine matriarch, Rachel. Specifically the text found in Jeremiah 31. We don't have notes tonight because I had. I don't even know how Many pages of notes. I can't even tell you how much I have studied Jeremiah 31:15.

I have studied what every Jewish website has said about Rachel's tomb. I had all these thoughts I was going to share with you and I felt like the Lord told me to scrap it. So I told them no slides, just put the title on the screen. So I'm going to read to you Jeremiah 31:15, which is also repeated in Matthew 2:18. This is what the Lord says.

A voice is heard in rhema, mourning and great weeping. Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.

So I've spent the last couple of weeks really digging in this concept. I've always been fascinated by this concept of Rachel weeping, even centuries after she died. All of this that I have discovered about Rachel's tomb, I'll tell you just a little bit at the end of the message. But I've always been fascinated by the sound of Rachel's weeping continuing through centuries. There are theologians that call it the sound of Rachel's ghost, this sound of weeping centuries after her death.

Because of the nuances in Rachel's storyline. I've preached many messages out of different aspects of Rachel's life. But there's been some unsettled questions for a long time about certain aspects, nuances in her storyline. And even studying for this message, there were things I haven't been able to reconcile with Rachel's choices. Her wandering, the roller coaster of her obedience and disobedience.

Yet it's Leah seeming to stay the course. Better yet, it's her voice weeping for the children. And I just couldn't reconcile it all. But I'm here to tell you tonight that what the Bible says about asking and seeking and knocking and continuing to ask and continuing to knock and continuing to seek, that it will be eventually unlocked to us and open to us. It is true.

And I feel like as I've looked at this, the Lord's unlocked some things to me and he really brought clarity through a text that I got through Hakel on Monday. Don't act like you don't know me. And I had a revelation today and even googled it to make sure. So Hakel is the same root as Rachel. I should have already known that.

So on Monday, Raquel sent me, Haakel sent me a text of encouragement. It was for me personally, but it unlocked some things referring to tonight. So I'm just gonna read her text. Is that all right?

Terri? You're better than any friend. I have no no, no, it doesn't say that.

It doesn't say that.

She said, yesterday, during worship, the Lord gave me a word for you, which the Lord has faithfully used you in my life, especially in this season. Thank you. Thank you, Hakel. Rachel. She said, I heard the word gestation, the development of something over a period of time.

The process or period of developing inside the womb between conception and birth. The duration of human gestation is nine months. I believe this time for you has great significance. A period of pain, discomfort changes, stretching, and anxiety about the future. But your response made the whole difference.

During these nine months, the Lord generated something very powerful and prophetic inside of you. Throughout your pain, instead of running away, you stayed, waited, persevered, were silent, believed, and cried out to him, Forgot. All these things were said about me. Sorry. Then she said, do you know why I was shaking when I read this?

She said, a prophetic womb cannot receive the word of unbelief, despite the circumstances. This is why the Lord silenced Zechariah when he received the promise from the angel Gabriel about having a son. But he didn't believe. Elizabeth needed this time of Zechariah's silence over her promises. I believe God gave you a prophetic womb, and you're about to give birth to his promises.

So tonight, the title of my message is the Prophetic womb. But I'm not speaking of a prophetic womb in me. I'm speaking of a prophetic womb that is all over this room.

In fact, I was praying for this today, but I feel like I'm gonna pause here and I'm just gonna ask this.

If over the last nine months, you have experienced some of the greatest pain of your life. Listen, don't feel bad if these have been the best nine months of your life, because sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. We have different assigned times of exile and pain and struggle. And some of us need to be on the mountaintop so you can help the others that are in the valley. God does that by design.

He's masterful in that way. But if you have experienced some of the greatest pain, and I'm not talking about getting in your head and analyzing, saying, but I went through harder things before the last nine months, so I really shouldn't be having the greatest mental fight of my life. That's not what I'm asking. If in these nine months you have had the greatest mental, one of the greatest mental battles of your life, if not the greatest or some of the most painful things to process in your life in the Last nine months, I'm gonna ask you to stand to your feet.

He's so faithful. Even when it's hot, he's so faithful. So, Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus for your daughters, these mothers of Israel.

Father, I pray in the name of Jesus that just as my friend Hakel blessed me and called me to a place of belief and not fostering unbelief, God, I pray that you would bless each one of these with a resolve and a strength to carry what has been conceived and growing inside of them. Because what will come forth if we don't give up, according to Galatians, is a harvest that's worth persisting for. So I pray God, I can even hear like, Lord, I don't. I don't even know if I care anymore what the harvest is, is I cannot keep doing this. God, I pray that you would come in grace and strength and peace.

God, I pray for these prophetic wombs of those that are standing and those that are sitting. And I pray God for a grace to endure.

Come on, just let him love on you in this moment. And even if you're standing there going, well, I feel bad because so and so has been through worse. Don't do that. He wants to minister to you. Healing and strength and power.

Thank you, Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus. Grace to carry this full term.

Thank you, God. Minister to your daughters. Peace, healing, grace and strength for the journey. You are not forgotten.

You are not forgotten.

All things new in Jesus name, Amen. You can be seated.

So for those that stood, you're not alone. That was a pretty large number for this gathering. And the Lord is here to minister.

So we're introduced to Rachel in Genesis, and I'm going to leave out actually the majority of details of her life because there's so many aspects and so many things to be gained from what we read about Rachel. I'm just going to talk about broad overstrikes or overstrokes. That's not right either. Broad strokes. We read in Genesis about her life with Jacob, her life with her father, Laban, her sister Leah.

We learned that she was barren and all she wanted was to have children. And she prays to God. Actually, she doesn't really pray to God. She prays to her husband. She says, give me children or I die.

Have you ever become so anguished over your desire for a fulfilled promise that it becomes disorienting and it's even brought you to the place that you didn't want to live?

I can tell you I've been there in that place over the last 18 months more times than I would want to admit. And if it weren't for the girl across the hall, I may have given in. Because for the sake of the next generation, we have got to say, yes, God. I am not going to let your plan for whatever in this gestation period, whatever needs to come forth, I'm not going to thwart that plan, God, because I trust you. And not only do I trust that you're good, but I trust your plan to choose me.

Have you ever tried to talk God out of or rationalize away like, I think I was mistaken. I'm like, why would God choose me? I'm talking about even in this season, I have processed that more than I ever have in my life. But we have to say, God, we trust you. We trust your wisdom, we trust your process, we trust your way.

And even though I feel like, lord, if you don't do this, I'm going to die. We have got to get in that space where we say, say, but you are trustworthy. I mean, where else am I going to go? It's what we were singing about earlier. He really has never let us down.

He is faithful, he is enough. But we tend to lean on our own understanding and operate out of our limited knowledge, which does contain truth, but it's not the full truth that sets us free. And for the sake of the next generation, we have to get over ourselves.

I'm talking about the things we've done that we feel disqualify us and also the pain of our journeys.

Like, Lord, I don't want this to be wasted.

So God eventually answers Rachel's prayer. He gives her a child of promise. And as the Old Testament and the narrative of God continues to unfold, we realize that the son that Rachel was given is really at the top of the class. He's given. He's got a special calling and anointing.

She gives birth to Joseph, the one who would ultimately save thousands of people during the worst famine the world has ever known. A prophetic man, a man who was used on the geopolitical scene because of dreams God gave him and the ability to interpret dreams. I mean, Joseph was a consecrated, set apart powerhouse for God. And Rachel almost thwarted that plan. I don't want to get ahead of myself.

God answers her prayer, she brings forth Joseph. And some years later, most commentators agree it was probably around seven years later, Rachel becomes pregnant again. And when she's nine months pregnant, Jacob decides it's time to move the family. I mean, there were other things going on in her father's house. But at nine months pregnant, they begin to travel from the place that they were on the road to Bethlehem.

And Rachel goes into labor five miles north of Jerusalem in a little spot called Rhema. And something goes terribly wrong. She gives birth to Benjamin, and there is intense pain in her delivery. The midwife tells her, hold on. God has given you another son.

But Rachel knows she's going to die. And she keeps calling out, benoni, Benoni, which means son of my suffering. And the Bible says that Jacob changed his name and said, no, it should be. His name shall be Benjamin, which is son of my right hand.

But when Rachel is crying out in her dying breath, in her dying breaths, Benoni, we can imagine her weeping. She knows that she's going to die. She's weeping. She knows she won't see her children anymore, these sons that she waited her whole life for.

Rachel dies, and Jacob buries her right there in Ramah, which was unusual because there's a place in Hebron where all the patriarchs were buried, where Jacob was to be buried, and where Rachel really, in all intents and purposes, shall have been buried. But he buries her right there in the place where birth and death intersect, in the place where a mother now considered the matriarch of Israel died. She was separated from her children. It's a place where Rachel wept for her children and heaven heard her cry. But then, hundreds of years later, is when Jeremiah recorded his prophecy.

Jeremiah was an incredible intercessor and prophet. He wrote poetry and songs, and the Lord told him to begin to record those things. And that's where we get the book of Jeremiah. And he writes in his book during this time in Second Kings, around chapter 24, where Israel is going into exile because of their disobedience before God. Now Nebuchadnezzar is the king.

And the Assyrians, the Babylonians that he leads, are sent to invade Israel right there in Jerusalem. And it is a bloody massacre. Thousands of Jews were killed. But Nebuchadnezzar also had a secret service. And I've preached on this before, but in a different context.

He had a secret service, and he said, I want you to grab 10,000 thousand of the most promising young people among Israel, the most creative, the most talented, those that have skill in the arts and in construction. I want you to grab those, because we're going to rebuild Babylon. The plan of the enemy has not changed. The generation that is being targeted right now is full of the most talented, the most gifted, the most intelligent, but he is after them like we've never seen. So Nebuchadnezzar says, I don't want to waste these talents on the kingdom of God.

I want them for the kingdom of Babylon. I don't want them to be used in Israel's kingdom. So as they're marching from Israel into Babylon at exile, the mamas and the dads are weeping as they're being taken away in their chains. And Jeremiah says a voice is heard in rhema, Rachel crying out for her children and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.

The city's in ruins, homes destroyed, thousands murdered. And now these 10,000 highly gifted, intelligent youth are being taken away to exile. Hundreds of years after Rachel loses her life and is not able to mother her son, now there's thousands of moms mourning because their children are in chains. I have been distracted by just the weeping of Rachel that I believe needs to come to the church again. I believe it needs to come to the women again.

So in my hours of research, I learned that Grace Chapel in Atlanta, Jensen Franklin this year gathered thousands of women. I watched the majority of the service last night, calling them to intercede and pray because of what women carry. He formed this whole initiative called Rachel's Army. I had no idea. Calling women to the place of fighting for our children as they're walking around with chains of addiction and sexual immorality and gender confusion and rejection and insecurity and self hatred.

And instead of us saying we can't believe how far the enemy's taken them, we begin to weep for breakthrough and for freedom. Because even in our best intentions, we can get on a rant. A few weeks ago, I randomly decided to indulge in watching something streamed on television. Judge Judy, that's my guilty pleasure, will sometimes beat Bobby Flay, but especially if I'm in kind of, oh, I feel like I've been in this fighting mood. I want to watch Judge Judy.

I'm obsessed with Judge Judy, but her show is different now. Maybe you know this, maybe you don't. It's called Judge Judy justice and her granddaughter. I don't know if she's an up and coming judge. I don't know.

She definitely knows the law. She sits in this little bench near Judge Judy, and then on the other side is the court reporter. And the court reporter just smirks at Judge Judy's ways. I'm like, I wish I could be her. But after one of the case, this case that I watched, and it was these gen zers that stole the car 14 years old, totaled the car, just did all this destruction.

And just, you know, the girl's attitude was kind of like. And you know, that's not good with Judge Judy at all. And so she's back in her chamber after the case is finished. She's there with her granddaughter named Sarah. Thanks for indulging me.

Here I am talking about Judge Judy. But she turns to her granddaughter and is like, yeah, these gen seeers. And her granddaughter says, well grandma, you know that I'm in that generation. I'm a gen zer. And she's like, well then to you too.

And she looked at her and said, and all of you raised us.

I said, wow, we're having church right here with Judge Judy. The reality is not for us to live in guilt. We're not to take responsibility that isn't ours. That's not my point. But my point is as mothers and I'm not just talking to a certain age group and up, I'm even talking about these young ones, mothers in the faith, those that have journeyed, some in God.

Instead of us pointing the finger at the different generations, we commend his works to one another and we say, God, we want you to bring your children out of exile. Bring them to the place of freedom. Rachel had a prophetic womb. And these women of these 10,000 young people had prophetic wombs. Simple definition of the prophetic of prophetic in the dictionary.

Foretelling events by supernatural intervention and our choices, what we allow to come forth through us, our foretelling of the future.

Their offspring, Joseph, Benjamin, these 10,000 young ones, they possessed the power to overcome. They were special and they were set apart. It's why the enemy marked them. This was true of Joseph and Benjamin. It was true of the 10,000 that were being exiled to Babylon.

The most talented and gifted and skilled young people. And from Rachel's womb and from the wombs of these thousands of mamas offspring came forth that had the ability to change history. And then we fast forward to Matthew 2, Mary having the most prophetic womb of all time. You know, I was talking about Sunday tribe earlier. I think one of my favorite pictures in scripture is when Elizabeth and Mary come together, they're both pregnant and they're both pregnant out of season.

Mary's too young and Elizabeth is too old according to culture standards. And they come together. And when they come together, that which is in them moves.

He wants to do that. Even tonight, he wants to do it. As we come together commending his works to one another. So the same Spirit that possessed Nebuchadnezzar possessed Herod. The wise men show up.

We followed a star. A king is born. And because Herod's throne is threatened and he's jealous, he puts out a command that. That all the male children, 2 years old and younger are to be massacred. I don't know how it was for those Jewish mamas.

I couldn't even watch Sarah's key. When they take little Sarah away from her mom, the Nazi soldiers, and I'm weeping. She knows she's never going to see her daughter again as they're separated. But this was times thousands and thousands. The soldiers going into houses and taking the Jewish babies, the male babies, because Herod's throne was threatened and there was a decimation of young ones.

And it all takes place five miles north of Jerusalem in rhema. And then it's recorded right in the middle of the Christmas story. Jeremiah's words. Once again, a voice is heard in rhema, weeping and great mourning. Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because they are no more.

Much has been conceived in the women in this room. Much has been birthed through the women in this room. Much is yet to be conceived by the women in this room. I'm not saying this to build you up. I know what.

The Lord was speaking to me today, and he confirmed it, like mysteries. Things I was asking about, about. And Haakel sent me that text. There was a prophetic womb inside of Rachel, and there are prophetic wombs here. Much yet to be conceived and much yet to be birthed.

And he's activating the prophetic womb tonight from the oldest to the youngest. So I'm going to tell you two things very, very quickly. We've got a war for the sake of the seed.

I want you to hear me tonight. Rachel had things inside of her that needed to be dealt with, that she never dealt with.

She dealt with envy and jealousy because Leah was having children and she wasn't. She tried to make things happen in her own strength. When she was weary of waiting for children, she gave her maids to servants to Jacob to have children with. And that's where some of the tribes, the sons of Israel, came from. She also took the household gods from her father's house when they were moving to their new location.

And that's where she went into labor. She had hidden the household gods and then lied about it.

The mothers of the 10,000 were disobedient to the Lord as well. It's why Israel was in exile. They weren't faithful to God. And the price tag was the exile of their children. I'm not saying this so that we begin to take responsibility for the wandering of our kids.

I'm saying this so that we understand he wants to activate prophetic wombs so that we cry out, how long has it been since we've heard of daughters waking up in the night weeping for nations of the earth, like as we would hear in the days of. Of revival. This is what God wants to do again. But we must war for the sake of our own seed. We've got to take dominion over that inner animal.

And I can justify the inner animal. I have that temptation often in this season. And I've made the declaration many times publicly. I refuse for my daughter to know her mom as a bitter woman. But I would be lying if I told you that the majority of the time, no bitterness leaks out.

That's not true. There are so many times I've had to repent to God and repent to Amelia, but let it propel me to the place of weeping and crying out and saying, God, I want to deal with decades of things that I have yet to deal with. Not because you. You're mad at me, but because there's something inside of me that you're entrusting to me. He wasn't mad at Eve.

There were consequences to her choices and to her sin. But he said, victory is still going to come through you. So let's deal with the things inside of us. If you find yourself comparing yourself to other people, being bummed out when people have breakthrough in something because it makes you feel worse about yourself, we've got to give those things to God. Whatever the 20,000 ghosts are for you, like Charles Newton had, whatever they are, we have to deal with them or we will release our final breath without bringing fully to fruition what he has entrusted to come through us.

If you are fully healthy in your body, or if this. There is a diagnosis that few people know about, there is an assignment for your life. Through the difficulty and through the victory, through those mountaintop times where everything's going great, to those circumstances where you say, God, I don't even think I can take another thing. But we have to stop giving ourselves a pass. It's so much sweeter when God gives us things pass, when he prepares a table for us in the presence of our enemies.

So we've got to deal with the things inside of us that we've never dealt with. Secondly, in activating the prophetic womb, we've got to. We Must war for the sake of the seed. Number two, we must receive his comfort. This is really key, and we're going to.

Going to transition into a time of worship and ministry right here. The worship team can wait just a moment, and then you guys can come.

We have to receive his comfort. There are Jews who travel still to this day to Rachel's tomb. There are people from all over the world that travel to Rachel's tomb. In fact, it's considered only second to the Western Wall in terms of holy sites. Some rabbis say it's in the top three.

And people go and pray to Rachel like what I experienced in my Catholic upbringing. Those that would pray to Mary, they cry out to her because she cares. She weeps for the children. Women that are dealing with infertility go and place their hands on Rachel's tomb. Women that are having trouble with their kids, place their hands on Rachel's tomb.

People cry out and pray for rest and comfort from Rachel's tomb. Voices heard in rhema mourning in great weeping. Rachel weeping for her children and refusing to be comforted because they were. They are no more. Until today, no.

Yeah. Until this week, to be accurate. I always thought Rachel refusing to be comforted was a noble thing. I kind of thought it fit in the category of Lord. We'll give you no rest until rest comes for your people.

But all we have to do is keep reading verses 16 and 17. And this is where the Lord, I believe, wants to bring us to tonight. Many believe these words are written related to the millennial reign. This definitely has an eschatological note to it, but it's for you and I as well. This is what the Lord says.

Keep your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, for the reward of your work will come, declares the Lord. Then your children will return from the land of the enemy. So there is hope for your future, declares the Lord. And your children will return to their own land. I believe that when we faithfully release the tears and the weeping that can only be given to us by God, there's a comfort that comes, and we need his comfort.

Feeling guilty. The worship team can come. Feeling guilty. Feeling shame. Calculating all the ways that we could have navigated our callings in life in a better way.

None of that helps. None of that is what God's after.

He wants to bring forth some things.

Some of you have been through the most difficult months of your life these last nine months. And the Lord sees you, and he wants to bring forth something that will change the course of history. If we'll let him.

But oftentimes we anguish over our barrenness rather than having tears of hope that God will hear us and will answer.

So, Lord, I pray in the name of Jesus for you to bring clarity to each of your daughters here tonight.

God, I pray that you would speak to each individual. I know this has been a unique message. I don't. I didn't even really know how to organize it. But I trust you, God, that you're working and moving among your ladies tonight.

And I pray, God, that as we lean into you in these few moments in worship, that you would bring clarity.

I pray, God, that you would entrust answers to mysteries.

I pray, God, for wisdom. I pray that you would answer questions that need to be answered.

But I pray, God, that you would release a weeping among your daughters for the seed of woman.

We don't want to be the seed of Satan. We want to be your seed, God, that destroys the works of the devil.

So, God, would you give each one grace to deal with what they need to deal with inside of themselves that you can entrust to them, God, a prophetic womb, and in so doing, receive your comfort?
