men if I said that to a bunch of men they would you'd hear crickets what an amazing sight on a Sunday afternoon Saturday [Music] afternoon I really did know that if you have your Bibles open them with me to 2 Samuel chapter 21 2 Samuel chapter 21 I'm so thankful for all of you being here and for what God has done in the services prior to this and it's really uh an amazing thing when women gather when women get together God is doing so much more than you can see there's the Unseen that is taking

place in marriages and families and over children's lives and I am the one exception to the speakers I am a male and I do what my wife tells me to do when she tells me to do it yeah know I was thinking about this yes this is the truth and I live to number one please God the be I try so hard to please God and then I thought right up under her right up under God oh God oh brother is Sharice and God is not a her God is a him but let's because I

know that one will leak out too so here we go but I do I do love you Sharice I'm so proud of you I live when I think about you all the time I really do all the time it's like I may have a drifting thought here and there and then where's she at what's she doing what she think what is she trying to call me paranoid about if she's trying to call me because she doesn't have the patience she ought to have with me sometimes great to what what's she wearing yeah I wonder that

tootime so let's just move on can we just move on second Samuel chapter 21 my mother's not smiling right now she's she's so serious she's very very serious about the Lord very very serious Mom are you praying for me today that's good that's good 2 Samuel chapter 21 man I uh I have other things that I could preach but I just got to give you this pretty heavy what I'm going to share with you you okay 2 Samuel chapter 21 and I'll begin reading with verse four and the Gibbon nightes said to him we have

not silver or gold we don't want silver or gold from Saul or from his house nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us so he said whatever you say I will do verse six he said let seven men of The Descendants speaking of descendants of Saul be sent and we will hang them before the Lord in giia whom the Lord chose the king said I'll give them to you and verse n says that he gave them to them and then comes the first mention in verse 10 of a Woman by the name of

Risa who was one of Saul's concubines and she had five sons that were delivered over to the Gibbon knes at the command of the Gibbon nightes and Risa the daughter of aah took sackcloth and spread it for herself on a rock from the beginning of the Harvest until the late rains poured from heav Heaven she did not allow the I love this she did not allow the birds of the air to rest on them by day nor the beasts of the field by night to the V then David was told what Risa and David was

told who's David David's the king and David was told what risah the daughter of aah the concubine of Saul had done now notice this and David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of John and and I'll sum it up in the 13th verse and he brought all of the bones of the sons that were hanged and they gathered the bones of those who had been hanged verse 13 verse 14 they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan in the country of the Benjamin of Benjamin in zela the Tomb of Kish with

his father so they performed all that the king commanded and after that God God heeded the prayer for the land so read a lot of scriptures and I'll I'll just sum up what was taking place but this is uh this is a pretty amazing story in the Old Testament you don't hear a lot about and I I want to speak to you today I I I want to call this sermon the spirit of Risa the spirit of Risa and I'm praying that God will make every one of you Daughters of Risa that that Spirit of

Risa that I'm going to preach about will be reproduced even in this room and those who will hear this and you will leave here with a spirit on you that you didn't have when you came the scripture said that Saul had sinned by and I want I'm going to sum this story up the gibit were a tribe that had joined Israel they were not Jewish but they had joined Israel and Joshua had made a covenant with them Moses had made a covenant with them and all these years that Covenant had been kept and when Saul

became king he he did not keep the Covenant and it displeased God greatly because God is a God God of Covenant and in return When the gibit had the power they wanted revenge on Saul and his family for many of their families had been slaughtered and so in requirement of payment they would not take silver they would not take gold they said to pay for what Jonathan and David and the family line I should say what what Saul and Jonathan's family line has done to us we want his descendants and so they got all of

the sons of Saul really five of them and then two grandsons this is a horrible story and they hung them to death and then something strange happens Risa takes a quilt a garment She lays it on a rock and for three months some say even four months but it the time of the Harvest basically is three months she stayed night and day where her babies her sons bodies were suspended Between Heaven and Earth they were hanging suspended Between Heaven and Earth Between Heaven and Hell between the heavens and between what was beneath the earth and

the scripture said that she would not allow the fowl or the Birds the V the vultures to land and Destroy what was left of her children even though they were decaying right before her eyes she would even the scripture gives detail fight off the Beast by day the jackles the coyotes the whatever the wolves and beasts of the field she would literally fight them off of her babies her family her seed and she stayed there fighting the foul fighting the beast at night and the birds during the day in the parable that Jesus taught the

birds that come to steal the seed that is planted are demonic spirits and so she's fighting in the night season the foul off she's fighting as a mother she's fighting as a woman she's fighting for her family in the day the wild beasts come and she's putting herself in between the bad situation that her children are in she's fighting the Beast off she's saying in her heart as she sits and camps out out on that rock she she laid it on a rock the church is a rock the Bible is a rock Jesus is a

rock I refus to give up the bones of my baby because after three months that's all that was left bones I refuse to give up the bones of my baby can you see or can you see the seriousness of of of a grieving grieving grieving not one child but multiple children it's almost more it's it's it's not a pleasant story in the Bible her children are dead and the Bible says in Romans that we were dead in trespasses and sins people look alive when they're partying people look alive when they're living wild people look alive

there was a time when P did he looked alive like he was everything but the truth is is he was dead in his trespasses and didn't even know it I'm not playing today I I came heavy so I came here I go I don't know nothing else to do but give you what God tells me to do and she's she's welcome to replace me with a woman anytime she wants she said I'll get into intercession because I still in the shape that they're in sticking a needle in their arm getting phone calls in the night

he's drunk again she's going back to prison in a horrible shape that they're in I still have a burden for my babies and I know there's not much left so much damage has been done so many years have been wasted but I still have a burden for my babies what's the use they're dead what's the use their future is ruined what's the use they're in such bad shape and some of you that I'm preaching to in this room your kids have hurt you so bad because they've said words like this to you you're dead to

me and some of you in Brokenness and bitterness have said back to them you're dead to me you didn't mean it but maybe you failed it because you're human and you're hurt but I've come today to preach that there is a glorious message in this story that I had never seen before in my life that I saw yesterday and it exploded in my heart when I couldn't find my other sermon I got it in here so I can preach that anytime I want to God's got a word for you you Risa found herself in an

uncomfortable place on the Rock she says in she's looking at her children she's praying I'll fight for the dead I'll fight for my kids or my husband or my mother or my brother or my sister they dead in trespasses and sins they're lost as they can be but one woman said I will fight for my dead family members I'll fight the beast in the night I'll fight the foul the demons that come in the day I'll fight I won't give up I know they're down to Bones I know that they're hung up on drugs hung

up on hurt hung up on dysfunction hung up and don't even know what their gender is I know they look bad but in the name of Jesus you can't have the bones and as long as there's a structure that was put in them there's still hope there's still life God's not finished and I'm going to show it to you you think the story ends sad it doesn't it doesn't there's a glorious type in the story that connects to to the New Testament and I want to show it to you maybe your children are decaying in

their faith send them off to college and they come back questioning everything there's not even a God but don't you give up on them the spirit of risah your daughters of risah and they say the more hell comes at them the more I'll spread out on the rock and I'll cry and we got to have that kind of move of God Among the women in in the world today and especially in this nation we've got to intercede which means to intercede means you enter in let's say here's your child and here's demons and and it

means you intercede you get in between what is coming to kill steal and destroy and you say no you cannot have of my family everybody take a praise break and just let the spirit of rbba begin to I want you to I want you to yearn to see your children in the altar I want you to yearn to hear their voice praising God I want you to yearn hearing them saying Daddy Mom I'm coming [Music] home can't you hear it they're suspended they're they're just hanging suspended the enemy thinks that he's got them but Jesus

was hung up for our hangups Jesus was wounded for our transgressions and bruised for our iniquities the chastisement of our peace was upon him and by his stripes every family can be healed every child can be healed every marriage can be healed don't you give up on what's left fight for what's left get your fight back come on are there any women in this room who know how to pray Thunder prayers who know how to get ugly and get down on the ground and spread the prayer cloth and say Devon you will not win they

will not die lonely they will not die in their own vomit they will not die off of fentol you cannot have our sons and our daughters we come in the spirit of Risa clap your hands and Shout amen come on come on come on something stirring in this [Applause] Place Risa and the spirit of Risa says I will not give up no matter how bad no matter what my family lineage looks like I will fight for the addicted I will fight for the thief I will fight for the lot liar I will fight fight for

the one who stole money from me I will fight for the one who said they wouldn't and they've done it again and again and again I just want to tell demons we've got our Buzzard bad out and we're going to kill some vultures and we're going to kill some beasts and we're going to say we will never give up on our babies [Applause] they're suspended but when you begin to call on the King on their behalf suicide almost got them but God's plan was greater you can't have them be not weary in wello be not

weary in wello for you will reap if you faint not they're suspended right now and sometimes you have to get uncomfortable and push the plate away and fast sometimes you have to get in an uncomfortable place like Risa and say these will not be normal days but I'm going to get three or before my little intercessors and we're going to stand together and when I'm weak we're going to link arms and we're going to find out who's got more power the holy ghost or evil spirits I believe greater is he that is in US you

can't have them fight them off fight them off fight for somebody who can't fight for themselves they're suspended they're not going up they're just stuck and the enemy thinks he's got them fight for those who have broken your heart because here's the point that I've been wanting to get to now because there is a king I don't know if you called it but this word was used in the text I read the king heard about the woman who wouldn't quit praying and when they told him the king went and gathered the bones and took cut

them down gathered the bones as long as the bones are there there's history there there's proof there there's structure there he gathered the bones back the king I believe is about to gather the bones I believe we're about to see unprecedented prodal Sons and Daughters come back to the father's house if we won't give up if we won't quit if we won't say it's been so long and nothing's change that is not the voice of the Holy Spirit the voice of the holy spirit is saying fight the king is about to gather the bones the

king heard her cry and I'm telling you that there's a church right here that's fighting for the dead anybody any mothers out there ready to fight for the dead anybody ready to say no they're dead in trespasses and sins but you know what you know what David did he took the bones took them to the grave yard of the kings in other words I know they've been suspended but the king heard risper pre and because she wouldn't give up he took what was left and buried it buried the bones in the king's graveyard I'm putting

them back in the Kingdom the gibit pulled them out and thought they were ruined and I put them back in the Kingdom but here's what messed me up he buried them in the king's graveyard where all the kings were born and and buried where all the kings were buried look at this verse in Romans chapter 6 throw it up therefore New Testament water baptism everybody say water baptism baptism is being buried in the king's grave kve therefore we were buried everybody read it we were what buried with him through baptized ISM into death that just

as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father so even also we should walk in newness of life for if we have been United together in the likeness of his death certainly we shall be in the likeness of his resurrection let me show you this one Colossians chapter 2 but we are buried with him in baptism in which you see when you get baptized in water when a person gets saved when God goes and gathers the bones of those dead in trespasses and sins and comes back and bury washes your sins

away he then wants you to be buried in the king's graveyard and just as sure as they buried the king of kings in the borrowed tomb of Joseph of arthea you were buried with him in baptism in which you are also raised with him through faith in the working of God who raised him from the dead you being dead in your trespasses and un circumcision of your flesh he has made alive together with him having forgiven you your trespasses having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us that was contrary to us he

has taken it out of the way he has nailed it to the Cross having disarmed principalities and Powers he made a public spectacle triumphing over every everything hell has tried to do to you and your family God says I won't let it Prosper I'm burying you in the king's graveyard and by resurrection power I will renew I will restore I will raise back up in newness of Life your you and your children and your children's children if you believe it give the Lord a praise now is the time to believe for your family now is

the time to get a spirit of risper and say I believe for my children Now's the Time to believe that dead relationships between you and your mom or you and your dad or you and your brother you and your sister or whoever Now's the Time to let a spirit of risper come upon you and Speak Life Speak Life Speak Life they've been in a suspended place of indecision but they're coming home I said they're coming home now I want to close with [Applause] this in the Old Testament no woman ever saw the glory of God

behind the veil no woman was in the levitical priesthood line no woman ever saw or touch The Mercy Seat no woman ever even could get near the Ark of the Covenant the women were confined to the court of the women it's called the court of women and it was totally separated un to itself no woman was ever allowed in the whole Old Testament to ever feel or experience the holy of holies but in the New Testament I can say of a woman something I could never say of a man in the Old Testament if a

man unworthy touched the Ark of the Covenant he dropped dead because it was God's presence it was Jesus the god of creation who said I'll dwell between the seraphim and the angels Wings AB above the mercy seat and when usza touched the Ark of the Covenant he dropped dead on another occasion when someone lifted it 50,000 Israelites were slain no man ever touched the glory but there was a young 17 perhaps 18y old girl by the name Virgin by the name of Mary who for nine months in her womb the only other human being on

Earth under the New Covenant it's like God got lavish and he said I'm going to make up under the New Covenant what all those male chauvinist did in the old tuck Covenant I'm going to make up for it and here's what I'm going to do only in the deity of Jesus flesh was the Ark of the Covenant The Mercy Seat the glory of God walking around in Jesus but he trusted that to one other person a little girl named Mary about 18 years years old nine months she carried in her womb the holy of holies

the Ark of the Covenant in the uterus of a woman the only time the glory of God was completely encased other than in deity which was Jesus Christ was when he said I'll let a woman carry my presence when Mary had the baby there was no Midwife there the Bible says she brought forth her firstborn she brought forth this girl's having a baby in a stable in a manger and there's nobody there to assist her you know Joseph didn't know anything to do she is there all by you we wouldn't want his help he's fainted

he's been out for an hour she brought forth the Ark of the Covenant a woman was the first to embrace him a woman was the first human to touch him that's why there's particular verses like blessed are the paps the breast blessed it says of mar that's a Bible verse blessed are her breasts that gave nurture to him hear the tenderness I'm trying to say to you that God says there's a place women can get in intimacy with me that men can't even go I invite you to come into that place today no one was

able to be more intimate with his presence than a woman a pattern was established to allow the woman to be intimate with God women have the ability to entertain and embrace the presence of God and that's why I'm I'm almost done the word travail is so important it's a word that means nothing to men travail when Zion travails then she shall bring forth travail is a is a word that is directed to women a special responsibility that you can get in such a place with God that the king will hear your cry that he will

use you in ways that men cannot even enter into I believe what I'm preaching cuz I have a mother who showed me this all my life I believe I'm in the ministry because I had you know you hear a lot about you were chosen from your mother's womb but we forget about the mother and you do this and you reach and Jensen you do this she was fasting and praying before I ever got on the earth raise your hands all over this room and say Lord I want to go I want to go into the

holy of holies I want to be a Risa in my generation is there a Risa in the house this morning who would say oh God this afternoon who would say oh God I I I want to see my family buried in baptism Hallelujah raised to newness of Life cut down from their hangups and free and alive in Jesus stand to your feet all over the room and I ask you to be very reverent but I got to obey God if you are a mother if you are a wife if you are a woman in this

room today and you would say Pastor I want to come because while you're preaching I've had somebody on my heart and on my mind and I want I want the spirit of risper to come on me if that's you get out of your seat and come down here on behalf you're standing as an intercessor between the Beast and your babies your husband your wife no not your wife your husband but if you have a wife let's get everybody saved he loves you Jesus does come on this is powerful now now hold on guys hold on

just a minute I don't want us just to hear another song and sing another song I want a spirit of intercession to come on the women if if Zion travails that's a travailing if Zion travails I know this isn't you know we got all kinds of denominations here and all kinds of people but when you came here you knew what we do and in the hour that we're in don't we need a little more than than to go a little bit further into the presence of God don't we need to have to embrace him and

touch him and say in faith not in pity not in Brokenness not in hope so there is a place of Faith where you can say you will not have my family I will not stop until I see them buried in the waters of baptism and raised to newness of life [Applause] all right ladies throw those hands up all over the room and I want you to begin to call on God and pray for your families I want you to call your children's name out your children's Children's name out I want you to begin to call

on your those in your family that need salvation that are suspended they're somewhere between Heaven and Hell there's there's friends that are influencing them and situations and you feel it wakes you up at night come on play play it wakes you up at night it it wakes you up you worried about them you got a teenager that's somewhere suspended you know they got the bones they love the Lord you you know they know the truth but hell's coming after them right now beat the buzzards off Beat the Beast off there's a beast that's a signed
