This episode marks one year of the podcast, and we’re taking time to reflect on the journey so far. From the beginning, this was never about numbers—it was about obedience.

We share some of the highlights, the personal growth we’ve experienced, and the key lessons we’ve learned along the way. There have been moments that stretched us, challenged us, and ultimately changed how we see what we’re building.

SPEAKER_03

So I'm just thinking about you said you came in, it's been a a year now, an official year of the Sears Watch.

SPEAKER_00

April fourteenth was the year mark of the first uh episode that was published.

SPEAKER_03

Amen. It's the eighteenth of April right now when we're recording this and it wasn't till like last week, I guess, or this Monday, Patrick mentioned to me that the name Sears Watch had changed just a little bit. You remove the the the Sears Watch, now it's just Sears Watch. And I said, No, I really have no idea.

SPEAKER_00

I just Which is kind of interesting that you guys just noticed that because it's I did that back in like January. Yeah. Or February. Like I changed the cover, I changed the name. Like I didn't completely change the name. I just took the out of it. Because I was like, it's the it's a Sears watch. I'm a Seer, you're a Seer. We're watching. So we're on our watch.

SPEAKER_03

Seer's watch. Yeah. This is what Seers do. We watch. Yeah. So thinking about that this morning, I just gave a quick glimpse at it. Hmm, Sears watch. Hey, the S is possessive. It's a possessive S. Like you own this watch. This can't happen on my watch, we'll say sometimes, right? You know, that's not okay. You know, happening on my I'm like, oh, that's actually really good language to have, Lord. Like we're stewards of the very st varied grace that God has deposited in each one of us. And so for a seer, we watch. It's ownership sears watch. So that was one thing I got. And then I turned over and and I have this bag I use for well it's a it's a Dunkin Donuts bag.

SPEAKER_01

Okay.

SPEAKER_03

And it wasn't until recently that I realized that they have changed their name to just Dunkin'.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Instead of Dunkin' Donuts. And so I was like, hmm, that's interesting. And I just thought about their history. Look, I I don't know much about them, their origins, any of that stuff. Uh you should eat or should not eat any of that stuff. I don't care about that. What I care about is what is the Lord saying in the word? Uh what is he trying to say through this? So I'm like, wow. Well, when they first start off, usually with all companies, they start off small. Yeah. They start off with less uh on their menu, for example, in this case. So Dunkin' Donuts, their main thing is going to be that name communicates, is coffee and donuts. But as years expand, and if you're doing well in the business, you're building a reputation, people like your coffee, et cetera, et cetera. They've added a lot of other stuff to the menu. It's not just donuts and coffee, lots of different things. Uh meals, and then you have partnership with Baskin. So they do ice cream, they do ice cream cake, a lot of stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And you've built a reputation. You're you're known for your coffee or whatever, and drinks, your mochas, all this stuff. So sh taking off the donuts part makes sense. It fits more of now your brand, what you actually do sell, and people immediately know, oh Duncan, it makes so in this case, I was like, oh, that's a prune. You cut off what was necessary in the beginning of the business, but now it's not necessary. We know what Duncan means.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But it also means a lot more than just that.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So I was like, well, okay, Lord, so it's been a year. We're actually, the Lord has impressed upon us to talk about pruning. What does that mean in the spirit? What does it look like? How to identify it, etc. etc. So I was like, this isn't a coincidence, Lord, that less is more. That's what happens in a prune. And even with a name change, like it just fit. It makes sense. I'm like, okay, so a year has passed, and so we're just taking a moment to reflect. I know for from my perspective, you were uh, you know, very nervous.

SPEAKER_00

Ah, yes.

SPEAKER_03

Going on. I didn't realize it until we sat down, I think, the first time, and there was a little I had a breakdown. Little little little tremble in there, and and hold on, let's not just push record. I'm already ready to go because I've doing a while. And but yeah, so I was like, oh, I didn't, I didn't okay, let's take a step back, let's breathe. I didn't realize this was um an issue. So um, but it's fine. But you so it was a challenge that you were obeying the Lord going into this fear of fear of um, etc. etc. And you I saw you get into it and go and have a good time in the Lord.

SPEAKER_00

So well, yeah, I mean, because initially, well, first of all, I don't like to talk as much. I like asking people questions, get to know them more. So when it's about like me talking for a long extended or a period of time, I hate it. Like it's just not my it's just not my thing. And so it was very uncomfortable. But I do remember, um, what was it? Probably back in March of last year, I just the thought of, well, what if you did a podcast talking about dreams and visions and what it is to be a seer? But I was thinking, there is no way I can do this by myself. Like, there's no way, because I need somebody to ground it in scripture, and I'm still not there yet. And so I was like, okay, Lord, if you want me to do this, then I want Nizim to come and help me. And so I was like preparing my whole spiel to you, like preparing myself. Like, hey, naisy, you know, I want to do this like podcast about dot dot dot. And I'm thinking you need to take you're gonna take some time with it. So I remember I picked, I think I either dropped you off or picked you up from work. And I said, Hey, I was thinking about this podcast. Would you want to do it? And you're like, sure. Like it was very quick, like you didn't pause and think about it. And I'm thinking, I was hoping you would say no. Cause then I was like, because then I'll be like, all right, Lord, he said no, then I'm not doing it. But you said yes, and I'm like, oh no.

SPEAKER_03

And so I mean, I did ask the Holy Spirit, I I just was able to hear him very quickly.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I was expecting a little bit longer, you know, like like give me a day. Yeah, it was not a day, and then I mean, I have done like a couple episodes on all one accord, but I'm not the host and I'm not doing as much talking. And so the first day we set up, I like I had a breakdown. I'm not gonna lie. I literally just told um two sisters that I just met today uh for uh breakfast. Um I literally told them, I was like, Yeah, you're like when I did this podcast, like I'm like, it's not a love, it's like not a passion of mine. Because I literally cried. I cried the first day we were recording, and it's not even live. That's the thing. And if there's no cameras, but I'm just having a breakdown. I was like, this is sympathetic, but I'm like, and thank God for nazy because you're just so patient with me. Like, okay, take your time. Because I thought I was gonna have a panic attack. I'm like, what is wrong with me? It's not live and there's no cameras. But ever since then, you know, in the last year, um, I I still get nervous, I still, you know, get a little bit of butterflies, but it it has um gotten better. Um, I mean, I'm not breaking down and crying because, you know, I'm afraid to talk. I mean, I cry other times, but yeah. That's been uh wonderful that you know, just seeing the progression in that. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Cool. I've noticed uh since that time uh for you a very big increase in intake of the word, love for the word, um, defaulting to what does the word say, even even recently. It turns out on this at the same time, unbeknownst to us, we were getting hit with this meh feeling. Yeah. There's uh something in the air, something something going on. But the Lord had us both use the same strategy. Just read a bunch of the word. You were in uh Galatians, Ephesians, and all of those letters, and then um uh the beginning of Acts into into five, and the Lord had me go through all of uh the uh gospel account of Mark uh that that day, and um that's a great default strategy, yeah. How to get through this stuff.

SPEAKER_00

Well, I just realized too, just thinking about it now. Um yeah, I've been especially this past year since January, eating more of the word, and yeah, I mean, really soaking it in big chunks, more so than any time um in my life. But I think it was because I just had this realization, like last year, um I was invited to uh go to a ministry school, and you know, she gave me like their uh curriculum, the book that they would be using. And as I was reading it, there was no excitement because it's like I feel like I've already done this. I've done this, and I'm not saying I know everything, I'm never gonna be an expert, I'm always gonna be a student, but it was the same stuff that I've done for the last I know I've been like really all in in three for three years with the Lord, but I mean I've been in this stream for a very long time, and I'm like, it's kind of the same. It's I'm not gleaning as I used to, but then something shifted as soon as I, you know, said, you know what, I'm not gonna go to this ministry school. And it was only once a week. And I thought, I'm not gonna buy books, other books. I have like 15 or 20 books, great books. Why don't I start actually reading the word word more? Because that's what we need. And so that was something that has shifted a lot in me. Where now I'm meeting people when they're talking about dreams and visions, I ask them, Are you reading a lot of scripture? Because you need that, like you cannot just deviate from that. You really need to know the word and be in the word, um, and love the word and be excited from the word. And I do have to push through that. My flesh doesn't want to read that much word, but I have to push through it. But if you're going to be a seer or somebody who gets a lot of visions and dreams, you need to know the word and you need to know the shepherd. So that was something that I've seen um change in me in the last, like especially in the last four months, five months. Yep. Come on.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So I guess what's cool for me too is just knowing that it's actually how you felt by default. Uh, I look at the last, you know, because you're the main initiator for hey, let's do what I'm thinking about doing another podcast.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Here's what Laura's kind of been saying, we you know, et cetera, et cetera. So, you know, you have to intentionally this last year choose to initiate conversation about it with me.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Lord's intentionally made it so I'm not the one initiating this. It's it's what you're working through.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And uh I've seen you do it very consistently over a year. And so that's really good. Another thing I would say though, about as far as little trembling and stuff, um I was just thinking about it today. You know what? That's actually kind of healthy. Because uh there are a lot of scriptures that talk about the mouth and the words. And n the more I it kind of just I guess it hit me yesterday or today that what we say can go anywhere in the world. Uh and the the Lord says things like, By your words you will be justified, by your words you'll be condemned. And there's just a lot of scriptures about the words, about the mouth. So I'm like, I'm like, you know what? This is why we pray before we start. Uh this is why it's not live. And that's why we pray that if there is something that's not edifying, is not imparting grace, uh, we don't put it out there. Lord, I don't want that because uh what we say matters. And and so, anyways, I think it's important to rem remember that every time we get on this mic, and it's potentially about to go out to people.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

But those things we give account for on the j Day of Judgment.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And that's okay to have that traveling. That's a good thing. That's why we pray staple prayers before at least every day before I leave my room, is that God would set a guard over my mouth, keep watch over the door of my lips, and that the words of my mouth, the meditations of my heart, would be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and my redeemer. He answers those prayers. So so that's something I like to say, but I have seen it's it's a very encouraging to see over a course of a year that uh knowing that you're choosing to do something who is uncomfortable, but you know it's the voice of the Lord, he's saying, This is good, this is what I want you to do. Another thing is I see this as this last year has been um his class, his school for you. Yeah. You've been in a school. So with a year up, well, I mean, for any highlight, uh, were there any um episodes or topics that really off the top of your head because we didn't, you know, uh prepare too much for this, uh, that you just think, oh yeah, I really like I really getting choked up about it.

SPEAKER_00

The cross.

SPEAKER_03

Is that when we did that? The vision of the cross with Patrick?

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, Patrick.

SPEAKER_03

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that was a very it was beautiful.

SPEAKER_03

Because I'm getting it mixed up, which podcast it was, but okay.

SPEAKER_00

I know, yeah, it was this one.

SPEAKER_03

The vision of the cross, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, the vision of the cross, just thinking about that, just like hit because mind you, it was Patrick crying like when you hear the sobs, it's not me, it's Patrick. Um, and it was hard because he was standing, like he's like his mic is like in he's sitting in front of me. We're facing each other, and so he's sobbing, and I'm sobbing. I'm like, I'm trying to get this vision out, and I can't. But that episode right there was just it was something very special because I hadn't shared it um with anybody except for uh uh for a few people, and to see that impact that it had on somebody else, and I just felt like in a way he was receiving healing as I was sharing that vision. Patrick was and it just made me fall in love even more with the Lord, just just loving him more, just wow, you you did that for us. That's how much you love. And so when I see the cross, when I see uh the crucifixion, or when I think about it, it's not guilt or shame. It's oh my gosh, I'm so thankful for you, Lord. And I'm just so like just grateful and thankful that you did that for me because you love us. And it's because I couldn't do it, but you could do it. So that one was is a very special one to me, is the uh the vision of the cross. I think that's the title of the thing. But I'm sure I could have talked more about um you know the the vision. But um yeah, that that particular one was a highlight for me is the vision of the cross because it just again, it just it just reminds me how much he loves, how much he loves. Um, and so I do go back to that, um, not the episode, but just that vision, just to remind me anytime I feel like I'm unworthy or unloved, or I go back to that vision again and again, and I go back to the word. I read like the end of Isaiah 52 or 53, and I love John 10 when he says, I'm the good shepherd. Like I cry every single time. Like if I read it a couple times, I start crying. It's like I'm the good shepherd, and I'm like, oh Lord, I'm not gonna be able to get through this. But but that particular episode was just that, like, yeah, that's that's like my heart, I would guess you, I I would say is that's my that's my um, I don't know what you like, my life call. I think that's what it is. It's that love, that father's love. Like that's my life call there. And so that's why that vision is very precious, or that um episode's very precious to me. Um probably another episode. I don't know which one was yours.

SPEAKER_03

Well, when you reminded me of that one, I was like, oh yeah, definitely. Um Patrick had a dream vision. No, I had a dream or a vision, I can't remember which one. But uh it was Patrick's truck, but it had some crazy huge looking engine uh in the vision, and I would say kind of disfigured. Uh-huh. And then when you shared that vision, I was like, oh, that's what this is. This vision of the cross, where you're getting a you know, very uh front row seat kind of deal of his crucifixion, how it was. I was like, this is the engine of ministry, because Patrick's truck's also white, and that often when you see white vehicles often in visions and um dreams is uh often, not always, but often synonymous with ministry, the kingdom ministry that you have. I was like, Yeah, you need a bigger truck, different vehicle to handle this engine. But the marred Jesus Christ him crucified message is the engine. Must be. Uh, and currently at that time you're not equipped for this right now. There's just and that that's where what we're talking about, um pruning, etc. etc., to make room for this. So that's that important for you and Patrick and anyone listening is Jesus Christ him crucified, amen. Wrecked by it over and over in your life. It's that important. And um, I think I mean we had a really fun time with uh Lord, let this was last year, let my tax number be uh prophetic. I told the Lord see, you know, just bring me in. And it was like the number 44, and uh that just sparked off this huge layer of dreams, visions, tidbits that you and I had, um, and we just got to share that. That was just um one of a kind. I think one of the things I see the Lord doing that's really cool is um both the acts um reclaiming our spiritual heritage uh episode and this uh last one of Revelation. I'm not saying I haven't seen it before, but it's rare, where I'll see this beautiful partnership in a prophet, prophetess reading so much of the word, and then side by side having a in beautiful vision, dream, just so close, like they're married to each other. Yeah, it's and it's so potent and rich. Like I feel like there's a been a heart cry in me over these years, uh uh, especially in the streams that definitely hold to all the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes and often the the written word of the scriptures can kind of go, uh, you know, it's and kind of take a back seat to everything. And to see you devour, you know, the the testimony of Christ and and just the way you did with Acts, for example, and Revelation, and then get side by side those kinds of dreams and visions that are so edifying and and weighty. It feels like an upgrade. That's yeah, it felt like an upgrade, it felt like uh a cry answered. Like this is actually how it's supposed to be, guys. This is like this is school, this is the Lord's school, he's showing you, he's equipping you for the rest of your life. And anyone who will listen is if you don't have this kind of hunger or diet in your life with the word, start asking for it like crazy. Because we're blessed for hungering and thirsting for righteousness, and we need the devotion, we need this restored back in the body of Christ. I love how Luke, he's very intentional what he does and how he orders things. He'll say that after the Pentecost happened, they're all filled with fire and grace of God, and they're testifying to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Says that they all had things in common and they were devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching, to the fellowship, breaking of bread, and the prayers. And there's a reason why it's in that order. When you're devoted to the teaching, you know how to pray. When there isn't the word in your life in that kind of diet, you don't know what you're praying for.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And uh some people just say talk to prayer is just talking to God. Some people, some people say, let me rephrase this. All there, and I know what the heart is just to encourage people to start praying. The problem is is just saying, Oh, prayer is just talking to God, is like saying, Here's a car, can you go to the grocery store? By the way, there's absolutely no gas in the tank. That's how frustrating it is when I hear that now, because that's the truth. No, they didn't say Jesus didn't respond that way when they said, How do we pray? Just talk to God. It's just talking. Well, you're talking to me. Hey, you talk to your person at the supermarket, just talk to God. Jesus didn't say that. He taught them first how to pray.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

And we have that prayer, and I use that every morning still as my outline. Like I've broken down, meditated on that prayer, our Father in Heaven, and it's now kind of gauges or directs my prayer times with them. It's a it's an a it's a model outline that builds a house of prayer.

SPEAKER_02

Amen.

SPEAKER_03

Okay, it really does. And uh, and then the in see in in Matthew's you'll get that, and making sure how to do it with the right motive.

SPEAKER_02

Yep.

SPEAKER_03

In Luke, you'll get the same, but you also get parables that he's talking about persistence. Yeah. So I love it. I love they're both necessary. And then you know how to pray. So Jesus says, if you abide in me and I my words abide in you, then ask, you will ask whatever you desire. Asking is a part of prayer. But you first got to abide in his presence, abide in his word, and he's saying it to a group of followers, so you gotta make sure you have your battle builders with you and have that community of the church. With in your life, then it's really easy to pray. Really easy. You're filled up. Let's go. Let's I'm ready to go. We just did that outside. I have nitris. I'm ready to go. Yeah, we just read together uh uh Matthew, uh the Lord in Matthew 24 through the end. And now it's like it just sets up prayer. So there's a reason for being devoted to the apostles' teaching, which is the whole New Testament, the Psalms, that's your gates of praise. You want to build the Psalms in your life. How to pray? Well, that's so if you're doing that first, then that's what's teaching you what to value. Hey, value the fellowship, meeting together. The teaching will direct you there, and then it ends, it ends with prayers because you can't wait to pray. Wait a second, you just every time you go through the teaching of the apostles, when you read it, you're you're like a reawakening to the reality of what you've been called to, saved into, and this is really awesome. You mean I can ask the Father for this now, and it's gonna happen? Yeah. Like that's how that's how important that order is, and I just see that in those episodes, but in your life, especially getting it. Yeah, that's just it's like, whoa, this is beautiful.

SPEAKER_00

Well, yeah. I mean, just even speaking about the word, um, because I've been taking uh note of it, uh, recently a brother was over here and we had been reading a lot of scripture, and he was reading it out loud. So I was just like, read the Psalms. So we were just going through like, I think it was probably like five or six Psalms, and then we read some of Isaiah. But then later on, I don't know, well, it's the Lord, but it just took a turn and it went into inner healing out of nowhere. But because we read so much of the word in one sitting, the atmosphere was saturated, it was easy, like it was an inner healing for uh inner healing for him, and there was breakthrough for him, and it's like it did not take that long, and it wasn't that difficult.

SPEAKER_01

Amen.

SPEAKER_00

And another thing too, I noticed, and it's about you know, about reading the word, I was like, a lot of times I've noticed that the uh the apostles are uh prophesying or either saying who Jesus is, they're proclaiming who Jesus is before anything. So uh the same brother, he was we were talking on the floor or texting, and I just said, and there was an issue going on in his house. I said, Well, did you pray? And he's like, Maybe I should have prayed first. Then I stopped and I'm like, Well, first, like, start proclaiming who Jesus is, start doing that, and so he starts doing that, and I said, Well, read Acts 2. Then I started looking because I had been in Revelation because I had the Bible study. So I was giving him like I think it was Revelation 21 and 22. Like, read that of who Jesus Christ is. And then when there was a shift in the atmosphere, things started changing in his house because you were proclaiming who Jesus Christ is. And so I've just noticed more, it's becoming easy to get like visions um that are not difficult to interpret because I've been filling up so much of the word. If that makes sense. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_03

So the word will say in like Psalm 119 is the unfolding of your words gives light. And then the word of God is sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and spirit of joints and marrow, judging the thoughts and intentions of the heart. So as you guys are reading the prophetic promises, much has been fulfilled with Christ when you're reading Isaiah, reading the Psalms, those words are giving light. They're beginning to divide soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and then suddenly there's an opportunity for inner healing. And remember, the Lord said in John to um the Pharisees, and he said, you know, you search the scriptures, you think in them itself you have life, but these are the ones that testify about me, but you won't come to me.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

So the scriptures are supposed to position you to encounter the word of God Jesus Christ, and that's what's happening as you're reading it. And then any other junk that's in the way that might be in the air is clearing out.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Uh, and because light, uh darkness can't overcome the light. So that's what's happening. So it just makes sense that that's it's an it's an easy for me correspondence now. Like, oh, that's totally, yeah, that makes total sense. That's what the word does.

SPEAKER_00

You have to do like 20 different steps or something like that, or like, and I'm not knocking some of the things that I've learned over the years, but I'm like, it's actually not that complicated, and you don't need that many steps. It's proclaim who Jesus Christ is. Start there. Start there and then read the word. Yep. Um, and so yeah, that is just something I have noticed in the last year. Um, just this elevation of my the dreams that I've received or the visions I've received, um, just by abiding in his word. Again, I don't like I'm not retaining everything that I'm reading, but I just know it's doing something within me. Like I believe that because his word is alive and I know it's doing something um within me. And it's just there's this an appreciation for the word. Because I do remember the one time years ago I asked you to give me a word. Do you remember that? Oh, yeah, I remember it's so funny.

SPEAKER_03

We were meeting, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, you can tell it.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, we were meeting and um remember the context, but I think we were root meeting more to actually, you know, pray for the town and things like that. But you were sitting there and said, Okay, I I want a word, you know, from the Lord. So I was very excited because the Lord gave me a word and it was in Psalm. I can't remember what Psalm it was, but I read her the Psalm. And then she said, Yeah, but you know, I but I I want a word. And we just I just let a nice pause just sink into the air. I just smiled. I said, Oh, here's here's the book. I said, I just did. And then she laughed, she realized it's so silly, but I was like, But that's yeah, that's actually a in uh that's actually um I'm gonna say it's it's kind of like a disease kind of in the this kind of stream, yeah. Where if I give you a now word from the Holy Spirit straight from the Bible, suddenly we have this thought that's not really the kind of word I want. Yes. Uh that's not really prophecy. Um the word will tell you that's not true.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

You if you use the word, the Holy Spirit pulls out a scripture in a moment, that is actually a uh a type of gift of the Holy Spirit. Yeah. Uh you need the Holy Spirit for it. Yeah. And uh what's extra cool about those kind of words is it's immediately something I can tell any Christian, any, and it doesn't matter what tribe, background, uh denomination they're in, because it's straight from the scripture, and every Christian holds a scripture is the word of God. I can go, yeah, the Lord gave me this, it was from da-da-da-da-da, and this is what it did. So maybe it led to a healing. Maybe I'm maybe the person I'm talking to has a little trouble with the the gift of prophecy, healing, etc., etc. But if I say the Lord gave me a word through the scripture and then used it for uh miraculous healing, for example, that's immediate that there's they're more likely to be on board because it's the the the way that the Lord spoke to me is straight from the word. Yeah. But it was alive, it was it was used by the Spirit of God. I'm like, ooh, that's good. So uh and it's so it makes interpretation very quick and and more solid. And also, usually when it's taken from the scripture, that means I can then go back and read that area and get even more edification and build up. So it's uh very potent when he gives it straight from the scripture. And uh, I'll listen sometimes to visions people have had of Christ, and I love it when he starts talking to them when they first come to Christ. So they don't know all these scriptures, but he's straight up telling them straight from like John. He'll speak to them like what he said in John. Yeah. And I'm like, oh, I just love when you do that, Lord. He's actually helping them, he's trying to give them in their first encounter, hey, look, um, this real Jesus that's encountering you now, here's how you can tell. I'm quoting straight from me, from the scripture from 2,000 years ago. It's a safe place. That's where you need to go to build up in this discipleship thing with me. Go back to the word. Yeah. So I'm just like, I uh that was a funny moment though, because I was like, I just I did I just gave you a word from the word.

SPEAKER_00

But yeah, it kind of embarrassing because you're just like, you literally gave me a word from the word that has been tested, you know? But it's that attitude, like you just said, it's kind of this, well, that's not really prophecy. And it's like, are you kidding me? Like it's from the word of God. And now I'm like, Lord, give me a word, and it's from his word. I don't need like I love getting visions and dreams, but more and more I'm like, Lord, I wanna I wanna love your word. I want a word from your word.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, from time to time the Lord will say, Hey, go ahead and tell her such and such. Uh and most of the time it's already confirming what's in your spirit or what you've already read in the word. So, like Lord would say, Hey, I Lord uh Sarah, I was just talking with the Lord, he said, Go ahead and do this thing that you're talking about. That's a that's an just hearing the voice of the Lord relaying it to you, but mmost of the time it's you already have an inner witness in your spirit. Yeah, he was saying that, confirming what he was saying. So I I love the the I love all of it when it's him. I love the voice of the Lord, I love the word of the Lord. They're in tandem. And that's what I saw, the those two episodes with Acts and Revelation, especially. Is that you've you're really learning that very well. It's a value that has been instilled this last year, which is really good, and uh that may continue because it it will, it'll be something with you for the rest of your life, kind of getting to that important thing. So um I just think it's uh really important w uh to remember. Well, I don't think that the Lord thinks that. He says it a lot of times. You read the read these Psalms, there's a call to remember, to mute muse, to meditate, to speak about all his wonders, all his works, all of it. So moving forward before we move into whatever the Lord wants to do for the next season here, yeah, we have the next topic, which is great. But it's to pause, and even by by you pausing, I was remembered. Oh, the vision of the cross, that was so good. You were reminded of it. We need to remember, thank him that builds faith, that honors him, and uh, and we're acknowledging him in it, and we need him, and that creates a straight path to the next.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, uh I mean this is kind of like, but it is amazing. Like, I don't I told the Lord, like I don't care if it only like two people are listening to 2,000. I don't care. Um, because this is your podcast, Lord. And I just you know, I do hope that it benefits whoever listens to it. But you do look on the analytics, right?

SPEAKER_03

You do, yeah. And you and you tell me, and from time to time it's nice to look at, it's fun to look at.

SPEAKER_00

No, it is so there have been some like really like okay, like I I can see that, but then there are some been some countries that are completely like, how did you get on this podcast? Like, where did how did you find it? And so one of them was Fiji. And I remember seeing that. I'm like, where did you come from? Like, because it was so out of the blue. But recently, Vietnam, Vietnam. I was like, how is this reaching Vietnam? Like, I just you know, my brain can't like fathom that, but my spirit's like, Praise God. It's getting to the people that need to hear it. And I'm like, thank you. And then we also had somebody from Morocco and Egypt. So I'm praying, I'm like, Lord, can we get somebody from Algeria? Can we?

SPEAKER_03

Can we just get one? Just one. Yeah, when you said Fiji too, uh the the I just remember early in my walk seeing a fairly recent documentary about an amazing revival that happened in the Fiji Islands that affected everything. The it affected the government, it affected uh even their crops were just huge and growing, and it'd been very not doing well, but the th it transformed the the uh the Fiji Islands. So I was like, ooh, that's that's really cool, Lord. So there's that, and I just want to say one little tidbit point here um that I've just found very helpful. If so I was saying in the beginning that this um I keep calling it the Seer's watch, but Seer's watch is it's possessive, you have a watch. If you know that you're sensing that you need to be up more in the night hours when you wake up, for example, just waking up. I've just noticed something I've been using before right before I go to bed as a declaration that actually is giving me more umph when I open my eyes. It's uh in Proverbs 20, it says, Love not sleep lest you come to poverty. Open up your eyes, and you'll have plenty of bread. And I'll say that, and there is also a scripture that says uh it's vain for you to toil, stay uh get up early and to toil late, for he gives to his beloved even while they sleep. So I have that intention. There's sometimes he wants me to sleep, but by and large, I just know my my routine with him, and uh I'll say I'll say that passage love not sleep, lest you come to poverty. Open up your eyes, you'll have plenty of bread. And and I've noticed when I do that before I go to bed, uh I get up much quicker and ready to get into it with the Lord in prayer. So that's just a thought I want to throw out there, but uh for anybody that might might equip them because the word equips. Yeah, uh, yeah, I just we wanted to recap. It was good to recap uh and review and remember and praise God.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, and for the people that are listening, I appreciate it. Yeah, we we really appreciate it, and I know a couple of you personally, and I just I love you guys. Yep. Um, but the fact that it's reaching several people globally, I just pray. My my prayer is that it just it brings you closer to the Lord Jesus Christ. That's my aim, that's the aim of this podcast. Through the dreams, through the visions, it's no, you you you love the Lord Jesus Christ and you get closer and closer to him and then start realizing wow, he's been speaking to me for a very long time. So that's my hope. So I just want to say thank you. Thank you for you know uh coming along this journey. It has been a journey. Um, but yeah, so may the Lord Jesus Christ bless you wherever you are.

SPEAKER_03

Amen. Praise God.
