Sis. Karen Vaughn "Solid As A Rock" 6/22/25

I want to go to the text tonight. Matthew 7:24-25. My husband just sang my sermon, the rock, which we're going to extend on a little tonight from yesterday. Therefore, whosoever hears these sayings of mine and does them, he says, I will liken him unto a wise man who built his house upon a rock. A rock. and the rain descended and the floods came and the winds blew. In other words, the trials and the test and the storms and the things of everyday life that we go through, they came and they beat upon that house. They beat it. They blew it. They they they tried to blow it to smitherreens and and wipe it out and wipe it off the map. However, however, however, it fell not, for it was founded upon a rock. It was founded upon a rock. It didn't just start in our day. It was founded before the beginning of time upon the rock of rocks of rocks of rocks. Solid as a rock. That's the name of what I want to name this tonight. Solid as a rock. And I could go on for hours and hours. I won't. It'll be short. I hope. But anyway, as Yahweh leads me, let's just say. But I could go on from here, this night on till Yeshua returns about the rock. How to be solid as a rock. We got to know in this day how to be solid as a rock. I want to say first that I give honor to my husband. I give honor to my mom and my dad. I give honor to all of you here and all of you out there. Every one of you are important. And I'm thankful for you. And I ask almighty Yahweh to help me tonight to give this word to you as he desires me to give it to you. I'm only a vessel. I'm surrendered to whatever he wants me to speak or do, Father. I'm completely yours. I surrender everything to you. You are the rock I lean on, who I'm leaning on right this moment. And Father, I know when I stand on you, Father, on your words, you cannot fail. I can fail, but he can never fail. Amen. Hey, you can sit down for a moment and someone can bring me that podium in the front in case I want to go down there. I decide to change uh position here, but for right now, I'm up here. Um I want to say that November tw November 2nd uh 2024, you know, Yahweh comes suddenly to me with the word here and there, and when I hear it, I write it down. And Oh, yeah. And so this one I wrote down and uh on that date I wrote the date. I always put the date and it's hung on my mirror ever since. But he put all he said was it's time. It's time. Well, I shook. I literally all that is is two words. But he oh time for what? Well, he's began to download in me ever since then. you know, I've not of course got the whole revelation of everything because that's ongoing. But he said, he spoke to me and I know I've got all kinds of notes here if I even go by them, but it's a time that we are in an unusual time. We're in unusual times. If you look around, they are starting, it's just starting to play out in the book of Revelation. It's, you can't deny it. You might want to at times, but you can't deny it. But we have got to have the fear and the reverence of the Lord that we walk carefully and circumspectfully in the hour that we're in. We better be a rock. We had better be solid as a rock. Now, that sounds all, you know, well, how do we be solid as a rock? We think, we know this, that. Trust me, you're going to know how solid you are when the trials and the tests come your way. You're going to know just how solid and if you need to get more solidity in your life in him. He said because there's no time for setbacks or delays. There's none. I mean, we can go, you know, as as in the past in our life, we had all this x amount of time ahead of us, but there is no time now. He said, I'm putting everything in place. I'm putting everything in order. We have applications in to be in the government, but we're not there yet. We're not in the government yet. Oh, we've been called. We've been chosen. We we all of these things, but he is still examining us. He is still testing us. He's still now don't you think in in the government of the world, you know, they should be very careful who they select to be in office and we've done seen in the very recent past where it didn't seem to be that way. But in his government, it's going to be finetuned. Nothing's going to he's not going to miss anything. He's going to be very selective. The rock is more than a person. It is a pattern. We often sing. We often say on Christ the solid rock I stand. That's true. Yeshua is our foundation. We are the sons. We are to be like Yeshua. But yet we go around every day when if we truly examined our thoughts, our words, and our actions, would we be able to say, "I said what Yeshua would say. I thought what what Yeshua would think. I prayed what Yeshua would pray." Could we really even say that about oursel? Can someone say that of you? Are you a rock? Are are you a rock? Um, but it means though standing on the rock means more than just believing in him. The church world, that's what they say. Just believe on me and you are saved. No, it means becoming like him. Becoming like Yeshua. And the church well says that's too much. He No, no, no. He already fulfilled that. And we say no. He gave us the example. He set that example to be the rock that we are to be. And you know what? There are no excuses. Satan has a million. Yahweh has none. We were given the blueprint of who Yeshua, how he walked right here. It's all in here. He says, "Study to show yourself approved." So, we should be literally in an audit. And I wondered when I came back from death, why all of a sudden did I have this desire in me to audit my thoughts even behind the doors more so than in front of the doors. I was exam examining myself, examining my thoughts, my words, my actions. And I thought, my goodness, this is kind of overboard. Some people even uh you know say I was always good person growing up but this was just different because Yahweh drew me to that. He was performing perfection in me in him. I'm not there yet but I'm striving. But he was doing something to make me a solid rock. I call my parents solid as a rock. I said I'm not going to ever be like them. But he said oh we're we're going to do it. We're going to get there. They gave you the example. Now, girl, let's go. Let's walk in it. Let's do it. And I thought that may be a little overboard, but yet when he began to teach me his voice, I knew it wasn't. It's what he was bringing me to and through. And I didn't quite understand why it was so aggressive. And he was so passionate about it doing it in me. Nobody knows me over here. I mean, yeah, but I I want to please him. and he brought me back from death and he's he's given me all these revelations but why are you just doing such a fine tuning in me as such as that. He said he is the word made flesh. We are the flesh. We are to be the word. We're not to be different from what the words are in here. We are to be just like it. So when we stand on the rock, we stand on the word that it's the word we're standing on. Um Kent always sung the song just stand. And I don't know if he fully understood when he was singing that. I we don't have all revelations now and things, but stand. You stand on the words of Yahweh. No matter what storm comes, what wind blows, no matter what things come in your life, you're standing on the words of Yahweh. Those words are better than gold. This whole whole town could wash away tomorrow, but his words will stand forever. I watched a movie long time ago, The Book of Eli, and it really got to me. Um, I think Danzel Washington was in it, but it was where he had one there was one Bible left on the in the whole world. And from what I remember, he was trying to get it to the printer. He had to go across. Oh, he had all kinds of things to go through to get it to be printed, more printed of that, of the words of Yahweh. and he went through hell and high water to try to get there and like to never have gotten there. By the time he got there though, he from what I remember, he didn't even have the Bible. It it had gotten stolen from him because every demon in hell wanted to get a hold of the word. But somewhere along the line, he had remembered the word from front to back. I don't think he even could see. He was blind. But somehow the word was in him. So he just laid on a bed as he just verbalized what the word said as they printed it off. That's how it's supposed to be in us. It's supposed to just come out of us to be a rock. We are supposed to be solid. But we have to study to show our self approved. It's not just feelings or miracle. I mean or just memories or miracles. The word is not merely ink on paper, but it is a divine blueprint for our life. It's not a mystery. It's not something that I don't know how I'm supposed to talk. I don't know how I'm supposed to walk and act. It's all in here blueprint front from the beginning to the end, cover to cover. We have everything in our hands. When I think about the countries that can't even get a Bible in their hands, how blessed are we? And that yet it sits up on most people's shelves with dust collecting. And if they get to it, they do. If they don't, they don't. They got more important things to do. There's nothing more important than getting that word in you so far deep and then that it literally just pours out of you. No matter where you are, Yeshua was immovable. It was because he was obedient. Obedience was his sacrifice. That was the greatest sacrifice that he could have. He said, "I do nothing except what I see my father do." And I've often said that since I came back from death, I pray nothing unless I hear what Yahweh tells me to pray. And I really do mean that. Um, and I said that yesterday that so many times that's the first thing you do is pray. But sometimes you don't even know what to pray. But if you don't know what to pray, if you pray, "Thy will be done." That's all you have to pray. Sometimes if it's so much you can't even pray that and get the words out, you can just Yeahy. Yeah. I've done that over the last months. All I could get out, I couldn't even hardly breathe, much less talk. And I could get out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And something about when that breath would come out, he would breathe back into me, life into my bones, cuz he's that rock that I lean on. He is the one that is going to come through no matter what. He'll never leave us. He says, you know, the testimony is in is the tool, but the word is the weapon. Okay, the word is the weapon. Our testimonies we give them. That is a tool to draw people and and say, "Look, you know, this is where I've been. This is where you can go." But the word is the weapon. It is what you have to use. Being solid means your obedience has outgrown your emotion. Is that ever a big one, Sister Callie? She tells me about and and I know she won't mind me saying it, but she's been through some stuff to where she would used to would say some things and and now but Yahweh and through emotions and now Yahweh that Holy Ghost in us, he is the one that controls us. We don't control us anymore when we surrender our tongue to him. Oh, we could do and say all kinds of things. But when we let that rock that's in us come through, honey, there'll be things we could say all kinds of stuff and we're just over there being still and letting him be Yahweh because we're not. He's the rock. He's the rock we lean on. Amen. Your testimony does have power because it's telling of his goodness. My testimony has power. He He just I haven't felt that in a while, but yesterday he said, "Tell your testimony. Tell what I did for you. I raised you from the dead. The same God that raised Lazarus. The same God is right here, right now, raising people from the dead. But not just from the dead in a grave, dead in their mind, dead in their life, dead bones." He said, "I'm bringing life back into those right now. The world is drying up." He said, "But not my people. You got water to drink. You got a rock to lean on." You know, when Yeshua was tempted, he didn't say, "Let me tell you my story. " Nah, he just said, "It's written. It's written. It already is." I'm Y'all, I know I'm a little overboard with writing out what he says, but I know that when I write it down and when it's written down in this word, it's written. It's done. It's a rock. I can stand on it. I can beat on it. It's not going to fall apart. It's not going to break. It's not going to shatter. It's not going to float away and never be found again. But it's something I say, "All right, all right. I can beat that rock. It's going nowhere. It's solid. This rock right here. It's solid. You got to know that. That you've got that. We're blessed to know that. The devil respects scripture, not just stories. He wants you just to tell you stories and not get in the word, the scripture. But when he hears the scripture, he says, "Oh yeah, the enemy be messing with your mind sometime." And then you come back with the scripture. You come back with what Yahweh says about you. And he goes, "Well, I might as well flee cuz she ain't going to quit. I'm getting out of here and going to the next victim. I'm not doing it. She can't. She won't even let me victimize her cuz the word is in you." He Healed me. He raised me. He restored me. But he says, "Why do you keep standing whenever the next storm hits?" Hallelujah. Cuz the word's in you. The word's in you. The word's not leaving you. That's because when you are finally at that point, you are a rock. A rock. Then you're going to know if you're a rock or not by what comes your direction and how you respond to it. Okay? That's how you're going to know. Cuz everybody's like, "I don't know if I'm a rock or not." Well, don't worry. If you even question and ask Yahweh, he'll give you an opportunity. Opportunities will come your way like flies. You'll be like, "Oh my goodness, why did I ask for this?" But it's like when you're done with it and proving yourself, you're going to feel like an eagle. You're going to feel like you could fly off the top of a mountain and keep soaring. I've done been there, done that, am doing that every day. It's like, you know what? Wow. You'll look in the mirror and you'll say, "I know I'm not there yet, but I sure am getting there. And I'm sure proud of myself. I'm proud of Yahweh doing what he's doing in me and I am obeying and pleasing him. I can lay my head at the bed on at night and I can say, "Father, oh, thank you for what you're doing in me. I'm so thankful. I'm I'm thankful that I'm agreeing with it and obedient surrender to you." And I'm seeing it manifested in my life. I'm seeing that rock. I'm becoming a rock. A rock that that even I'm leaning on. I'm a rock. My gosh, it it's amazing. It's exciting. It's exciting. You could have won the biggest whatever excitement thing, Elder, that you won, Elder Su, but whenever you become that rock in him, you're going to feel like the rock. I think they got a wrestler, somebody named the Rock, you're going to be the rock in the word. That's the rock right there. The word is the rock. The rock. And look, there's nothing more successful than that on this earth because it carries into eternity. Colossians 3:16, let the word of Christ dwell in you richly. Richly. We don't just testify about the word, but we must must must be transformed by it. If you're looking over your life and you're you know this word front to end, but there's things that are still popping up. You know that from five years ago or a year ago or things aren't changing and you need to you're not transformed yet there. You got to keep on that path and you got to keep driving it and pushing it and pressing it and say, "Father, put that fire. Let me go through that fire. I want it out of me. I want to be transformed so I can be that rock." And I was thinking about this um character character is so big that we we can't even put a level on it hardly in the kingdom, but it's something that's not a gift. Character, you know, the Holy Ghost is a gift. Faith is a gift. There's so many gifts. Talents, he gives talents. gifts. Um, he gives you blessings and money as gifts, but your character is what he's looking at. He's looking at every aspect in your life. Every eye has to be dotted. Every tea has to be crossed. Do I have to be that, oh gosh, that mindful of it? Yes, you do. To have character. I've watched my parents teach me character. Amen. Character because character is going to go with us where we're going in the millennium, where you're going in the government. If you don't have character, you're not going to be in the government. He's not going to choose someone not without character. My story began with my parents, a woman and a man of convential character. Um, they they weren't flashy. They were faithful. They were faithful. They didn't build a platform, but they built a prayer life. Okay? They built it. They lived it. They still live it. No, the world don't even know them. They're not on a platform. They don't have the lights and the cameras and the action and the fame and the glory and and you know, they don't have that. But they didn't even desire it. They just desire to be pleasing to Yahweh in in their prayer closet where nobody's even seeing them every day. Nobody even sees them go there. But they show up. They show up. They're faithful. Faithful. Faithful. Faithful. That is character. Psalm 15:1-2. Who shall abide in your tabernacle? He that walks uprightly and walks righteously and speaks the truth in his heart. That's a mouthful. Character is not gifted. It's forged by so many people. Yahweh never anoints what he hasn't first tested. Yeah. So, I can testify to that. He And you think it's horrible sometimes, but like they say, the crushing brings the oil. He has to test you for that. My parents didn't learn the faith in the hospital. They brought that faith with them to the hospital. They didn't learn it in there. They brought faith in that hospital. Okay? Don't wait for the storm. I spoke this at Kent's memorial. Don't wait for that storm to bring your foundation. You better run now with all you've got. You better run with the horses. Run with the cloud. Run with the fire. And don't get tired because he said they that wait upon the Lord shall not grow weary. They'll run and they'll run. They'll not faint. Teach us, Lord, to wait. But when we run into his presence, we run into his presence. That is where you're going to find everything you need every day. Um because I've telling you this about being solid as a rock where he said the gates of hell will not prevail but oh they will come against you. The gates of hell every day the gates of hell is going to test your foundation. I'm I'm telling you uh close to six months ago I've never been tested as I was tested then and since. I've never been tested like that. But what I have come to find by pushing into his presence, into that rock. There was no other rock. I mean, as people were supporting all around, but I knew I had to go into his presence. Hide in his presence. Go into that bubble where I just don't understand. I just can't even see what in the world. This don't even make sense. And father, all the promises. And how am I even going to pour faith out to the world now? How am I even going to testify? Oh, and but then he said, "Be still and know. Trust me. Trust me. Have I ever failed you? Am I not the rock that you've leaned on and and you have stood no matter what? You'll stand. I promise you won't even smell like smoke when it's done." He said, "But you just trust me with all of your heart. Don't lean on your understanding. And I'm going to direct you every day. And he's done it. Every day. I can testify that he has done it. He'll do it for you. He'll do it for every one of you. If you allow him to. He is a gentleman. He won't make you, but oh, if you just show up. Just show up. Here I am again asking for more. Fill me completely with your anointing oil. Father, I need you again today. I need you again this next hour. I don't know what's going to hit the next moment or anything, but I have to have you. You're that rock. When Yeshua said, "The gates of hell shall not prevail," he wasn't speaking of a gentle rainstorm. He was speaking of brutal onslaught. That's why I say if we don't learn who and be a rock ourself, we're not going to even survive the onslaught coming to this earth or coming to this world. The enemy comes with disease. He comes with loss to take your hope to test your hope. The enemy does disease to to test your health. Distraction. Distraction. Huh? Let's Let's go right there. To test your discipline. Distraction. Deception. Deception to test your doctrine. We know that. But if you're built on a rock if you're built, you won't collapse. You won't collapse. When your friends fail you and your family won't even speak to you, you won't collapse. You won't collapse. You won't curse Yahweh when your child dies. You won't renounce the truth just to have acceptance in the world and be cool and be, you know, the the the popular one. Your spirit will shout in defiance of the enemy, though he slay me. Yet I trust him. Yet I trust him. We I trust him. And And I promise you, like Job, you don't want to go through those things. No, I don't. Nobody does. But I've been through some of the what feels like slaying. But I said, "Father, I trust you. I don't have to understand if I never do to where you bring me to next. I trust you with all my heart. That's where you have to be. That's where you have to be." I was speaking yesterday about the eighth day. Um, it's prophetic. It's it's it's walking in the new. It's a new day. and and seven is her his perfection. On that eighth day is when I walked out of that bed that where I was supposed to be dead or or not coming out, you know, the way I was um was so full of life. Seven is perfection. Eight is new beginnings. But not everybody walks into day eight. Some never make it past the third day. when everything looks dead, they give up. They're they're done with. Um I've been speaking with a few moms who's lost their child and they don't have the truth, what Yahweh's given me, the hope and the truth. What I hang on to in such excitement and I'm hanging on to that week that he's Ken's going to be in that first resurrection and I'm going to see I'm going to be in the millennium and I'm like every day dancing around. I can't wait. I'm so excited. I was telling Shay last night, we're going to see your brother soon. We're going to see your brother soon. And and but they don't have that and and that's where we're to come in and and bring that to them and give them that hope and pray for them. But we should feel above all blessed blessed with the truth and the rock to lean on. I survived death. It was not because the devil lost interest, but because my the purpose Yahweh had for my life pulled me through. He had a purpose. He had a plan. Everybody's different what your plan is and how it's going to work out. But he's got a plan. Isaiah 43 and2. when, not if. Hear me. We we we go through the words and we skip through words and they don't mean that much. But when you pass through the waters, I will be with you. Don't think, oh, why you picking on me and why me? Haven't I done so good? And why did you let this happen, Father? and and and this and that and and and you know uh look at them over there and they're not living right but yet they're seem to be doing so and all of this didn't happen to them. He says when you pass through the waters I will be with you when you walk through the fire you will not be burned. You will not be burned. Those words alone should make us dance and shout every day that the enemy comes against you. You can use that same scripture. I will not be burned. That's what I said months ago. I refuse to give up my faith. I refuse. It was a choice. It was a choice. I refuse to give up my hope in Yahweh. I refuse to give up the plan he has for my life. I refuse to give up my hope in what I'm looking for, the future and what's coming and ahead. I refuse. I declare it to the world. I will walk through these waters. I will not drown. I will go through this fire. I will not be burned. The words of your mouth, the words of your mouth are life for death. You better speak that life to be the rock. You better speak it cuz I've noticed that's the other thing. He had me audit every I can't even be stupid with words. I know sometimes my husband laughs at me because I'm just so a little bit overboard with that. Don't speak that. Don't say that. And you're just kidding. And and you know, you got that personality being silly, but I can't. I can't. I can't. It's like I I got authority in my mouth. What's coming out of my mouth? Watch what you're saying that it it's going to manifest. Whether it's life or death, be very careful. Walk carefully what you speak over your enemies. Don't dare go there. Oh, I wish they'd burn up and die. I wish that, you know, they might do such horrible things. But I'm telling you, even somebody murders someone, you know, you're like, "No, I'm going to speak. Father, you wish all to be saved. Father, I I ask you to do your will in their life and whatever spirits have come upon them for them to be delivered from that. Be careful. Be careful." That's how you know you're a rock. When you could say and you could pray all kinds of stuff. And what if you did have the authority to say something horrible and it actually happened and you'd be responsible and have to answer for that? No. You could in your heart you're going to have his desire. You're going to do what he wants to do. I said the other yesterday that I should be on all kinds of medicine um according to what has happened and things that come against us. Be in a dark room not even come out of it. be in deep depression and see no hope. I should be there, but instead I stand here clothed in glory, radiating light, healed, whole, whole, whole. I am whole. I am free. I am whole. I am free. I know that. It's nothing you can fake. You can fake people can fake stuff all day long. You can't fake that. You can't fake it and keep faking it. That freedom, that joy, that peace, that strength, that knowing. You know, they might say when you first start out, "Oh, give them time. It it'll go away. " Look, when they see that it don't go away and you're still standing and you're still fighting, wait a minute, they are a rock. They really are a rock, but they used to be so fragile. What happened to them? What happened? They've been transformed into what Yahweh wants you to be. The rock. The rock. Not just Yeshua. Yeshua already proved himself. We have not. He said, "I want every one of you to be the rock." Just like Yeshua. Yeshua. You can own that. You know why? Because broken things in the hands of Yahweh become beautiful vessels, beautifully broken in all the right places. As my husband wrote this song, oh just beautifully broken. I'm so thankful I was broken. I'm so thankful he's still breaking me. I'm to make me. It's like mold me, make me to be like you, please. What else can I do, Father? Oh, there's something else. There's something else. There's something else you can do. 2 Corinthians 4 7-9. We have this treasure in earthn vessels, struck down, but not destroyed. When you become a rock, things will hit you. Rocks will hit you, but you still won't be destroyed. You're not going. It might hurt for a minute. The world measures the power. The world measures power and and your success by the absence of pain. Oh, look at me. I've not been through anything. Look how successful I am. Heaven measures power by the ability to stand in spite of the pain. To stand in spite of the fire, you're still standing. You're a rock. Yahweh doesn't measure success the way the world does. If you want to be used in government and and we all got our application in, you must be solid. You've got to be solid. He said it's time. He said, "It's time to be solid as a rock." He said, "Yes, I already saw it in Yeshua, and I've already seen it through many, many people since then, but you're here for such a time as this. " He said, "And the people I'm going to use in this hour to usher in Yeshua's return has got to be solid." If you don't know what that means, he said, "Go in prayer and ask him, he'll tell you." He'll tell you if you're not quite solid enough. It's uncro uncompromising voices. It's uncshakable convictions. It's uncouchable character. It's uncompromising voices. Nobody can compromise you with their ways or whatever they come to you with to compromise your character to compromise who he wants you to be. Nobody can do that. You're unshakable. You're unmovable. It's unshakable convictions. You've had a conviction about this, but all of a sudden something comes and lures you this direction. Now all of a sudden you're you're you're not convicted about it. It's okay. No, no, no, no. You better check yourself. You better check your life. Your rock's about to get broken. You're about to fall off the rack rock and fall off into the the ditch. You're about to go in the ditch. You better get back up. You better go quick or your rock's fixing to break. It's untouchable character. Once you've built, you know, there's many of us who's been so broken and you had to build yourself back up in the world. The devil, the enemy just put you down so far you didn't look like you could ever see up. But somehow someway you got up and he's molded you. He's made you. He's if Don't think that the enemy went to sleep and now you don't have to be alert and now you don't have to worry about anything. Oh, I've got the truth and I've got the holy days and I've got the Sabbath and and I know all of these things and I can just be entitled to walk in how I want to do and talk how I want to talk. I don't have to be mindful of nothing. No, you better be more mindful than ever. You better be more mindful. Just like in a a war. Okay. Yes, we are not just waring all the time. But I'll tell you one thing. We're waring against principalities. There are principalities on this earth that come through spirits through people. People that you'd never think. People that they do their little slick stuff through and it just goes right past you. It's like, no way. You better be in tune and discernment in the spirit. Not in panicking or fear, but in wisdom that that comes from him, not yours, not those around you, but his wisdom of guidance. That is very important and critical and crucial for you to be a rock is to have the wisdom of Yahweh. Wisdom is all in his word and how it's performed. You want to rule and reign with him. Start by being faithful in your pain. And I've seen all of you do it. I've seen you all do that. You're faithful in your pain. You can be proud of that. I'm proud of you. He says, "The throne is reserved for those who never bowed under the weight of loss. You didn't bow to it." I'm telling you, I've told you a while back, I'm not going to bow to grief. I will not bow to sorrow. That's not my God. My God is the one that I will worship until Yeshua returns. I won't bow to other any other idol. I won't make that an idol. I won't make a grave an idol. I won't bow to a grave. I will bow to the one who gives life eternally. And I will bow to Yahweh alone. He's my rock. Nobody else is my rock. He's my rock that I lean on and stand on. He said, "Push through your disappointment, through the numbness that you feel sometimes. " I felt numbness in and just a numbness at moments is I couldn't understand it. But it didn't matter. I kept pushing. It would make me crawl to the wall even more. It's like, "Help, help." He said, "Push to the rock of ages. Push until the peace comes. Push until you're standing again. Push until. That's it. Just the word until. I heard this the other day. Somebody has spoken that. How How long are you going to pray for this? Until. You got a time limit on this? Nope. Until. How long you going to pray for your children? Until. How long you going to have that hope? Until. Come on. Until is a is a big word. It It covers a whole lot. It's about you're that rock. You're that rock. Micah 7 and8. Rejoice not over me. Oh, I've been speaking that one. Oh, mine enemy. Cuz when I fall, I shall arise. I did fall, but I got back up. I got back up. It ain't how many times you fall. is how many times you get back up, honey. You get up and with every intention that you've never fallen again. And if you do fall again, you're like, "No way. I didn't even do it." You jump so fast you get back up. No. Nothing is worth losing out. Nothing is worth displeasing Yahweh. Nothing is worth not going into the millennium, not going where he wants me to go. Nothing and nobody, nothing can persuade me different than what his promises say they are to be. Nothing can persuade me other than what his plan. He don't change his mind. He don't change his mind. He's a rock. He's a rock. We change our minds and we go different places. He don't change his. He is a rock. Yeshua is the rock. Daniel saw that a stone would be a mountain. Daniel 2 and35. That's you. That's me. We're not just standing on the rock. We are becoming living stones. We're becoming mountains of unshakable faith. And I'll tell you this, I know not everybody gets the faith that I have. that was imparted to me when I came back from death. Didn't even ask for. But I can tell you, if you just get around me for a minute, you're going to get that faith. If it'll rub off on you. It'll rub off. It's like something comes in me and this impartation that was put in there. And I just want to keep pouring it out because that rock in me, that rock that I stand on, he's like, I put this faith in you for you to give it to the world. He said, "When Yeshua returns, would there be any faith left and you can hear me in my house, my husband, I tell you this horrible thing could have happened? I'll be over there in in the glory realm. " And I'm like, "Oh, but this is going to happen. Oh, but Yahweh said this instead. Oh, but he didn't say that. He said this." He's a living witness of that. I don't ever move from that. If he said something is to be, I am rock solid. I can say that in what he says. He says, "Stand up, speak up, and stay up because the solid ones are the ones that Yahweh will use to govern, to guide, and to gather the harvest. " I think of a rock as steadfast, sure, solid, unmovable, unshakable. the knowing, the knowing, the walking carefully in his ways, the walking in his wisdom that you will not compromise even with yourself. Your yourself is your biggest enemy. Sometime you won't even compromise with your little stupid thoughts. You won't compromise with your little stupid feelings. Sometimes you're like, "No, I'm not compromising with my own self." Yahweh said, "Do this. I'm going to do that." guiding, letting him guide us through his understanding and not ours. His wisdom is sure. It is love. It is peace. It's love. It's hope. It is as you walk in it in his wisdom, you're not fearing and panicking. And and he may download all kinds of things in you and insight that the natural person would go another way with fear and panic and they would speak out. And instead, he's downloading that in you and like, "Oh, why did you show me all that? That's horrible. Just hold on. He's got a reason." Oh, as you're waiting around and coming out of your feelings of what he just told you. Now, he's saying, "Now, I want you to pray this now." And all of a sudden, it's not a prayer that's going to destroy anybody. It is to destroy a spirit, but not the person. He's not a destroyer. He says, "I know the plans I have for you. is to prosper you. It's to prosper you, not destroy you. So when you start hearing him saying those things and you're doing them and okay, Yahweh, okay, I'll do that. Does that please you? It's like a little child and they want to do something to please their parents and they're is that good? Is that good? And that's how I'm always doing. Is that good? Hey, I feel I even hear as we tell Shake a good girl. And I'll hear I'll hear him almost saying good girl. And it's like I can't help it. I want to be a good girl. I want to be the one that pleases Yahweh where he's so happy with me. He gives me a treat. Okay. You a good girl. I'm for real. It's like I'm listening. I'm waiting. I'm watching. Oh yeah. Did you see? I didn't say nothing. I was good. That was good. Oh yeah. I waited till you told me what to pray and I prayed what you said to pray. Oh, I was good. That was good. Oh yes. Yeah. But he said, "No, you're you're that rock. you're becoming that rock or else you wouldn't have even listened. You would you would have just went in your own flesh, your own ways, you know, as a woman or as a whatever you are. So many times all he wants you to do is pray. He don't need your hands. He don't need you to do nothing in the whole circumstance or situation. He needs you to connect with heaven. Heaven and earth to connect. He needs you to be the rock since nobody else around's being that. He I need someone that is going to be the rock and is going to use my voice to connect it to this situation. He's looking He's looking for that. And then like I say, you wait. I always wait. What do you want me to pray? Now, if I don't hear it, just thy will be done. Even though I say that at the end, no matter if I know what he wants me to pray, and you wait on him. I've often said this, until you truly trust him with all your heart and you don't lean on your understanding, you don't really truly do love him as you should. If you can't trust him, entrust him with everything in your life, everything, every situation about how big or small. And you can't get to the point to where you just trust him. I don't know what's going on. I have not any answers. I don't even see it. It don't look right. It don't feel right. But Yahweh, you know what to do. You know what you're doing. You're big enough to handle this. You big enough. You way bigger than me. You way bigger in understanding than what mine is. I don't see the end at the beginning, but you do. But I'm like a little childlike faith. I just trust you. I just trust you. When you, you know, everybody says they love him. Everybody's always singing about it, saying all, but do you trust him? Do you trust him? And if you do, you're going to have no problem opening that door to let him be the rock he is. To make you the rock he wants you to be. You have to guard your gates. And I don't know what close this is. This is my first clothes. When you guard your gates, he said, "Guard your gates." I have a picture hanging in my bathroom someone gave me years ago and it's a lady with a looked like a warrior helmet on and but she's looking over flowers. And Yahweh showed me the revelation in that. He said, "You're looking over the garden and you're guarding it. You're guarding it. I see things all the time. I hear things that don't get past me. I'm not naive. And and and and and he wants you to see so that things don't come into that garden to kill, to destroy. He said they're always trying to slither in. He said, "But I'm you're gonna watch. You're going to be a watchman on the wall. You're going to be alert. You're not going to be laxidative in the spirit and let something take you by surprise whenever I show you. And then you stay in prayer over that garden. You stay in prayer. But it's guarding. And and if you don't do that, I'm telling you, in your life, in your home, your marriage, your children, your your finances, everything, you guard by being alert. You have to be a rock. It's resisting the devil sooner than later. We should be grown up enough in the spirit by now to know the difference in Yahweh, his voice, and Satan's. We should know the difference in Yahweh's ways and Satan's ways. We should know the difference in Yahweh's talk and Satan's talk. We should know that by now. There's no excuse for that. None. So therefore, when you do know that, you are to resist that now, not later. Not keep allowing it into your gate of your mind or your eyes. You say, "I shut the door. Shut the door." You're a rock. You're not coming and st stealing my territory. I'm going to use this and I'm going to go out there on this on your inboxes. Guard them. guard them because if you don't think we're in a day that the enemy has gotten slicker than ever, sller than ever, he will come through your inbox. Don't think that he won't. And he will put words out there or it may be just something wonderful, but guard every gate where he can come in. You have to that's not being overdone. That's the wisdom of Yahweh. That's his wisdom. It's about not being stale. Don't get stagnant. Don't get to where, oh, I've heard this before. Whoopde-doo. No big deal. No. Every day should be new. Everything you're hearing, it's new. It's new. It's new. Yahweh, he's he's all about the new. It's about being aware of the enemy's decisiveness and deception in a world that we're in that's full of it. Manipulation that comes in all forms. It's about constant purging every day of everything in your life. Anything that shouldn't be there in in in your thoughts, anything is detoxing your life so you will be that rock. Amen. So Yahweh is looking for those ones. He's looking for those ones. Um that's going to be that. And now I can't read my writing. Hallelujah. Um, but we are given time, you know, we're given time on this earth to grow. And we have to say every day, Father, grow me in you. Grow me in you. And and he he's not just like, put you out there where you have no time. It takes work. It takes action. But I promise you when you finish with that work I can truly say standing here right now that by doing that since 2008 is when it happened when I died and came back and I've been on that journey since then. Um that I now today I can truly say I'm a rock. I feel like I'm a rock. I feel like he's made me into a rock. Yes. And I'm not bragging on myself. I'm bragging on him what he's done in me. And I used to be pretty fragile, you know, in mind as far as um things that, you know, would come your way. I didn't always notice the things coming through the door and the things around and I was easily deceived and things like that. Not anymore. No, not anymore. I see it. I hear it. I know it. Don't ever think I don't. And it's not fooling me. It's not deceiving me. But I will always walk in wisdom. I will never use things to tear down or destroy people. It will only be to build them up with his word and be free of those spirits that are destroying them. Um, as I look over my life, I can truly say that he that started the work, he's finishing it in me. I can say that he my uncle gave me a word years ago was when I came back from death and he would always give me a word every so often call me up and said, "Karen, carrot." Well, one day I was at work at Slido Memorial about to get off my shift. Karen, Karen, I've got you a word. Oh, Uncle Lloyd, what is it? And he said, "The spirit of perfection is at work in you." Huh? Well, that was before I met him. I thought, "Wow, I'm about to be perfect." Only to find out no correction. It's about to be you going to get corrected every day. You're going to walk through the fire and burn things out of you. But it's perfecting and refining and and resurfacing and restoring and it's all work when you do that to a piece of furniture. It's even more when you do it to us. But he's been doing that because I love it. I can say that I love it. Matthew 16:18 says, "Upon this rock I will build my church and the gates of hell will not prevail against it." You are the rock. You are the church. You will stand and you will be solid as a rock. You will not allow the things of this world to break you and shake you and move you, but you're going to be rock solid. Psalm 18 and two. The Lord is my rock. He's my fortress, my deliverer in whom I take refuge. Every day I run into his tower. I run into his presence. Psalm 62 and2. Truly, he is my rock, my fortress. I will never be shaken. Never. First Samuel 2 and2. There is no rock like our God. Deuteronomy 32 and4. He is the rock. I can't see what I'm wrote. His works are perfect. His ways are perfect. He does no wrong. He is upright and just. And we're like, "How can I be like that?" Well, if his spirit is in you, he's going to help you be like that. You're going to be that rock where you are just and upright. Isaiah 51 and1. Look to the rock from which you came. From which you came. Luke 6 and48. They are like man building a house that was dug deep and laid the foundation on the rock. A flood came and the torrential rain struck that house but could not shake it because it was wellb built. If you're built on the rock, you're not ever going to be shaken. No, don't don't don't don't don't don't start get to wondering, "Oh, if this happened, oh, maybe not." No, it don't matter what happens. You're not going to be shaken. You're not going to be moved. You're going to stand on the rock until Yeshua returns, the rock of all rocks. And you're going to say, "I know that I know he that started the work of me finish that work cuz I'm a rock. I'm a sure foundation." You know, when people come over to me and start, you know, asking for advice, this or that, I know I'm a rock they can lean on. I know that I'm not a little shaky thing where I'm just was going to fall over and tip over with the first thing that's too much. No, I'm going to stand. I'm going to be all right cuz I've allowed Yahweh to do that work in me. Matthew 7:24-27. Therefore, everyone who hears the words of mine. Lower that just for a second. I want you to hear this. there for everyone. Now, he didn't say a couple pe people over there. And he said, "Therefore, everyone who hears the word, you hear them. " That means not just hear them, but they go in you so deep. And just like Eli, the book of Eli, it just started to pour back out of him. And then you're also, it's so in you that whatever the word is, you're walking it, you're talking it, you're thinking it, you're doing it. You're constantly the word in action, the word in manifest, the word in performance. He says, "And puts them into practice." It's like a wise man who built his home on the rock. He is telling you, "Build your house on the rock and you will stand." It don't matter what war comes our way. It doesn't matter what enemy comes our way, what bomb they drop. He said, "I am the bomb." He said, "I am the war. " He said, "I am the victor in every situation." You will be a victor, not a victim. You'll be victorious and you will win. You will win. you will win. So yes, fight, fight, fight, you will win. Thank you, Father. Hallelujah.
