Hello, welcome to the Reflective Spaces Ministry Podcast. I'm Tammy Toney-Butler, Author and Evangelist. Well, I was not planning on going live, but the Lord put on me a message. And so I don't know who this is for, but I wanted to obviously obey and honor Him and come on with the material that He's given me. And so Holy Spirit, come have your way in this time that we have together. May they see you and not me, hear you and not me. May they have spiritual eyes to hear, ears to hear and eyes to see what it is that you have for them, Lord Jesus. Oh, thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for giving us such clarity where there's been confusion. Oh, help us, oh God, help us. And Father God, let us just start with fresh oil. Whoever's listening, just Father, descend upon them now and give them fresh oil. There is no separation in spirit and time where the Holy Spirit is. There is no separation. And where the Spirit of the Lord is, there's freedom. So just sit with his presence right now and enjoy that peace. in the middle of your storm. Today's message that he placed on me is he rescues me out of sorrow. He rescues me out of sorrow. And that is a message that he has for someone today. So Holy Spirit, just speak, just speak Father. Oh, there's someone listening that has just been through a season, such a trying time, this pressing, this crushing season. And you just don't know when it's going to end. You're just not sure. And you're calling out to God and you're questioning and you're fighting so hard to stay in faith. And He just wants you to know that He sees you. He sees you. He sees all of us that are suffering, that are hurt, that are wounded. He is a God that loved us so much that He sent Lord Jesus Christ His Son, His only begotten Son, to die on the cross so that we could have eternal life. And by Jesus's stripes, we are healed. So the sickness is not our portion. Depression is not our portion. Addiction is not our portion. And God wants you to know that you don't have to feel that heavy weight of anxiety that's on you now. He can break it off by his power, by the anointing, by his yoke-breaking love. Jesus is breaking you free now by his stripes. Ye were healed and you are being set free now. We rebuke that spirit of anxiety. And God wants me to wants me to let you know that that. Sometimes we are called to walk through certain seasons. You know, there's certain things we just can't pray away. You know, Shadrach, Meshach and begin to go. They had to walk through the fiery furnace and they had to go in in in that fiery furnace, you know, knowing that that God was going to deliver them. And you know what? If he didn't, he didn't. But they went in there celebrating and trusting, having faith in their God and our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of our precious Lord Jesus. And that's the God that we serve. And he put on me Habakkuk rejoices in the Lord. And I'm looking at three here. And I'm starting with seventeen. Though the fig tree should not blossom, nor fruit be on the vines, the produce of the olive fail, and the fields yield no food. The flock be cut off from the fold, and there be no herd in the stalls. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will take joy in the God of my salvation. God the Lord is my strength. He makes my feet like the deer's He makes me tread on my high places. He makes me, he makes me tread on my high places. Let's read that again. God, the Lord is my strength. He makes my feet like the deers. He makes me tread on my high places. He rescues me out of sorrow. He rescues me out of sorrow. We have a God that sees us. We have a God that's with us. And he put on me. He rescues me out of sorrow and trouble. He leads me beside still waters. That's what Psalm twenty three tells us. He is my hope and my salvation, my redeemer. In him I trust and have my being. Psalm nineteen. Let's look at Psalm nineteen. Psalm one oh seven. Psalm eighteen, Matthew eleven twenty eight. going to look at some of these but remember he is my hope my salvation my redeemer in him i trust and have my being great is our lord of hosts our holy majesty great and faithful our lord god of israel today we rejoice even though we lack we struggle we give praise for jesus's work on the cross alone we simply rejoice and praise even in our hallway of affliction because of salvation alone and because of God sending Jesus to die so we could have life. That's reason for us to celebrate and to praise because we have been redeemed from the curse of the law. We're no longer under the curse of the law we're no longer under condemnation we have been set free by the work done on the cross by that old wooden cross so in our moment of sadness in our moment of affliction in our moment of sorrow in in our moments those dark seasons those olive press uh seasons those garden of gethsemane moments then we have to understand whose we are. We have to understand what Jesus did on the cross and his work on the cross. And that by salvation, you know, we are set free. We don't have to do anything to earn it. It was freely given to us. It doesn't matter. We don't have to earn it. We don't have to be the best kid on the block. We don't have to be, you know, holier than thou, we get to receive salvation just by calling on the name of Jesus, knowing that the only way is through Lord Jesus Christ. And you can't get to the Father, you can't get to heaven, but you got to go through the Son, you got to go through the Lord Jesus Christ. And so his death, his thirty nine strikes, his his being beaten, battered and bruised, all of that work done on the cross, all of that blood shed on Calvary, all of that is a reason to rejoice. It is a reason for us to rejoice every day. It is a reason for us to have joy in our heart. It is a reason for us to say, I'm going to walk in that fiery furnace. And if I get delivered, I get delivered. If I perish, I perish. but I'm going to follow God. I'm going to follow God's will. It's all about God's will. It's a place of surrender. It's a place of recognizing what Jesus Christ did on the cross and how through his death, we have eternal life and through his death, we have healing and through his death, we have deliverance. We don't have to partner up with sorrow. We don't have to partner up with with pain. We don't have to partner up with addiction. We get to be set free because He who the Son sets free is free indeed. We have to call on it. We have to own it. We have to embrace it. We have to understand that God is ready to deliver us out of our afflicted states. We have to invite Him in. We have to say, Holy Spirit help me. Holy Spirit help me lay down that crack pipe. Holy Spirit help me to say no to that food addiction. Help me to say no with that sex addiction. Holy Spirit, help me not to go there. Help me not to go to that place that I know I don't need to go to. Help me to not go to that bar. Help me, Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit, help me. Help me, help me, help me. Sometimes you just have to crawl out to Jesus, call out to Jesus in your darkest moment. And if you can't utter anything else, When you're on the floor, when you're just trying to get out of bed, you can't get the covers over your head. The only thing that you can utter is the name of Jesus. And that's all you need to utter is the name of Jesus. Because there's power in the name of Jesus. There's power, resurrection power in the name of Jesus. It is that love that heals. It is that love that redeems. It is that love that restores. It is that Jesus. That is the God that we serve. That is the God that we serve. We have a father. who loved us so much that he sent his only begotten son to die on the cross so that we could live. He had sent him to earth so that he would understand our infirmities. I mean, Jesus wept. That's a scripture. Jesus wept. We have a God that understands us. He knows how hard it is to do this life thing. He knows how hard it is to walk through past trauma, past affliction. Abuse. He knows how hard it is. He knows how hard it is. And God sees you in your moments of affliction. He sees you. He's with you during those pruning seasons. And He may be quiet. He may be silent. But He wants you to get on your knees. He wants you to call out to Him. He wants you to get onto your knees. He wants you to say, Father, Father, I need you. I rejoice just because you're God, because you sent Jesus to die for me. And I've been saved and I've been set free by the blood of Jesus. And if there's nothing more to celebrate, I'm going to celebrate the blood of Jesus. It's that blood that heals, that blood that restores, that blood that sets free, that redeems. And I'm going to walk in the light of the truth. I'm going to be set free. i'm no longer going to partner up with the darkness but i'm going to partner up with this marvelous life i'm going to walk in total wholeness i'm going to walk in total wholeness in restoration i'm going to break off the garment of heaviness i'm going to break off the garment of addiction i'm not going to wear that garment of depression any longer i'm going to be robed with christ i'm going to put on christ i'm gonna put on christ i'm gonna have the joy of the lord i'm gonna yoke up with jesus i'm no longer gonna be yoked up with the past i'm not gonna believe the lies that they spoke over me i'm gonna break free i'm breaking free i'm breaking forth I'm going, I'm going, I'm going. And I'm going to bring as many with me as I can. Because God has anointed me and God has appointed me. And he has appointed me to tell you today that you've been delivered. You've been set free. That you are not what they said about you. That you need to believe it. You need to own it. You need to walk in it. You need to walk in power. You need to walk in fire. We need to bring the fire back in the pulpits. We need to bring the fire back on the street corners. We need to bring the fire of God into the marketplace, into the White House. We need to bring the fire of God back. We need to say, as for this house, we serve the Lord Jesus Christ. It is that power that sets free. It is that power that redeems. And it is that power that is going to come against the synthetic voice of artificial intelligence. No more are you going to believe an artificial voice because you're going to know the voice of your creator. You're going to know the voice of God. You're not going to know the voice of God because my sheep know my voice and they follow me. My sheep know my voice and they follow me. My sheep know my voice and they follow me. And he's inviting you to follow him. He's saying, just believe on my son, Jesus. Believe on my son, Jesus. Believe on my son, Jesus. Believe on my son, Jesus. And by his blood shed on Calvary, you're healed, you're restored. And ask his Holy Spirit to live inside of you and make you fresh and new and transform your heart and your mind so you have the heart of Christ and the mind of Christ. And that is the message that he has for you today. That is the message that he rescues me out of sorrow, that he makes my feet like the deer, that he makes my feet. God the Lord is my strength. He makes my feet like the deer's. He makes me tread on my high places. He will never leave you. He will never forsake you. He is always with you. He sees you now. He sees you now. He's with you now. He's healing you now. He's delivering you now. He's taking it from you now. He doesn't want you to carry that sorrow. He doesn't want you to have it. He doesn't want you to have it. He wants me to take it from you. I'm taking it from you. He wants you to put down that bottle. He wants you to put down that crack pipe. He wants you to put down those pills. He wants you to go to that recovery center. He wants you to sign yourself in. And he wants you to get set free. He wants you to be healed. He wants you to use the resources and the people that he's placed in your life to get you out of that miry pit that you're in. He wants you to fight. He wants you to climb out. Climb out of that pit of depression. Climb out of that pit of addiction. He wants you to climb, climb, climb. He wants you to fight. Fight. He wants you to fight with the strength of Isaiah forty thirty one with Psalm ninety one. He wants you to fight. He wants you to fight. He wants you to fight. He wants you to fight. And that is the message that he has for you. He wants you to fight. And we're going to go to Psalms right now. He wants me to go to the Psalms. And he wants me to read Psalm one Oh seven. I believe it is Psalm one Oh seven. Let's see. Psalm one Oh seven should be nineteen and twenty. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble and he delivered them from their distress. He sent out his word and healed them and delivered them from their destruction. He sent out his word and healed them. I'm sending out his word now to you. You've been healed. You just need to believe it, receive in it, walk it. Believe it, receive it, walk in it. Believe it, receive it, walk in it. And ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength to go to that recovery meeting, to go to that recovery center, to call for help, to call the hotline, the suicide hotline if you need to. Seek help. He sees you. And I don't know who this is for, but the fire of God came out on your behalf because I wasn't planning on doing this. I just jumped off of another interview. But God sees you and he sees you now and he loves you and you've been redeemed and you've been restored. You just need to believe it and you need to believe his word. You need to believe the word of God. You need to believe the word of God. And that's what he has for you. And that's what I have for you. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus. Glory be to Jesus.
