Welcome to A Touch From Above with Dr. Luauna Stines from the Prayer Mountain in Ramona, California. Today’s episode is part two of He Is Risen. The Word of God is truly incredible. Did you realize that more than 350 prophecies found in the Old Testament have been fulfilled through the life, birth, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ? In today’s message, Dr. Luauna will demonstrate the impact God’s Word can have when it’s woven into our daily lives. Declare God’s promises and His Word over yourself and your loved ones every day. These words bring life, and there is true strength in God’s Word. Hold fast to it. Now here’s our host, Dr. Luauna Stines.
SPEAKER 14 :
I never, ever, ever, ever would dream that God would take my life. You see, because after his death, I thought I was ugly. I thought I was fat. I thought I was stupid. I thought I was worthless. I could barely read. I couldn’t pronounce the words. I still can’t pronounce most of them. But I’m the author of four books. Isn’t that a miracle of God’s grace? Only God. only god god will take you to places you thought you’d never go god will take you to places i’m telling you what i would have never dreamed i would have never dreamed i was serving god i was doing like tom weed eating painting cleaning doing everything, having my women’s homes there at church, every service, setting up the service, cleaning the drums, cleaning the piano, cleaning the toilets, watching the nursery, throwing away the stinky diapers, whatever I could. I was doing it at church for 13 years. I was just laboring at church. Doing whatever God wanted me to do. It’s like, Lord, whatever you want me to do, I’ll just do it, Lord. You want me to clean? I’ll clean. You want me to wash the toilets? I’ll wash the toilets. Whatever you want me to do, Lord, I’ll be faithful. I will be faithful, Lord. Thank you for saving me. I love you, Jesus. I love you. Never did I dream that one day the phone would ring. Is this Luauna? Yes, it is. I’ve heard about your testimony. I would like for you to come to London, England and share your testimony in some of our churches. I went, where? London. We’d like for you to go to London, Ipswich, Norwich and Newcastle. We have churches there. We’d like for you to share your testimony. I said, how am I gonna get there? Then I went, London, they want me to go to London. I don’t have a passport. They said, we’ll cover your expenses, all of them. I said, really? Go down to your postal office, except they called it something else, and ask them to give you a passport. I said, okay, and we’ll contact you in about two weeks. I said, okay. I said, they asked me to go to London. I’ve got to remember, this was the wild side of me. I wasn’t all refined yet. I just loved Jesus. I had long, wild, curly hair. I drove on my motorcycle. I drove a Harley. I had a leather jacket. I had a long leather jacket that went down to here. I still have it. It’s in my closet. I had a long leather jacket. I had my wild long hair. And, you know, I just loved Jesus. I was just this wild girl that was in love with Jesus. So I have no clue how I’m supposed to dress to go to London, England. So I wore my long leather jacket, had my wild… crazy black, long, curly, wild hair, and I’m getting off the airport, and I have my luggage here, and I’m getting off the airport, and the guy is so prim and proper that standing at the edge of the baggage walk thing where you walk, and it has my name. And I walked up, and I go, hi. He goes, are you Luauna? I said, yes. He goes, my name is Nicholas. I go, hi, Nicholas. He goes, wow. Wow. You’ve arrived. I said, yes. He goes, uh… You have a couple hours. Would you like to see anything? I go, yes, I want to see London Bridge. I’ve always thought about London Bridge. And wait a minute. And I looked in my luggage. I pulled out my camera. I got my camera. I had an AE-1 cannon, old fashioned black and white cannon. I have an AE-1 cannon. And I want to take pictures. I want to go to the London Bridge. He goes, all right. So we go outside of the airport. And I see this beautiful big car. And I go, whoo. Now remember, I’m not refined yet. I go, woo-wee, look at that. And then I go, sure could serve God in a car like that. And he goes, do you like it? I said, yeah, it’s nice. He goes, driver, open the door for her. I go, excuse me? It was a Rolls Royce that picked me up. I said, are you kidding me? I said, we’re riding in that? He goes, yes. So we got in the back seat, and it was so roomy. I stretched my legs. I’m telling you, I’m like a hillbilly. I go, wow, look at this leg room. This is amazing. He was so shocked. He goes, would you like to get some tea this afternoon? I don’t know about you, but if you don’t know, London, England, they don’t drink coffee in the afternoon. I said, no, I would like a cup of coffee. He goes, coffee? You want a cup of coffee in the afternoon? He goes, you’re so American. I said, yes, black, please. I said, this is amazing. But you know what? God knows our tomorrows. God knows our tomorrows. Who would have ever thought that God would take this broken life, and I would travel around the world for Jesus, sharing about a husband that was murdered, fought through cancer, broken and abused when I was young, who would have ever thought that God to take somebody like that? You see, you’re no different than me. God wants to use your life the same way he’s used mine. You just got to wait on the Lord and know that he is God. Somebody say, wait on the Lord and know that he’s God. God has a good plan. And then God speaks to me and he says, guess what? Build a place of prayer. Look at this place. Isn’t it a miracle? It’s a miracle of God’s grace. You haven’t even seen the Isaac, the Israel, the Sarah, the Abraham, the Joshua, the Caleb, the veteran cabin, the Africa cabin, the upper room, the Mary and Martha cabin. Only God could do that. The tabernacle. Oh, my goodness. Only God can do it. You see, God knows our tomorrow. You’re going to walk, Danny, Vicki healing in the morning. God is a good God. Complete healing, Ms. Lee. Complete healing, Ms. Edna. God’s going to take care of your finances. Don’t worry about that. I know the hardest thing to give is when you’re hurting. Let me tell you something. As a widow with nothing, my husband did not leave any insurance, not one thing. And the insurance that he left was for his mother. And I didn’t get one penny of it. I excuse the expression. I had not a window, a pot to go on or a window to throw it out. They repossessed everything. I felt like everything was over. But it was just the beginning. Do you know what the beginning was? God wanted me to die to myself. I had to learn not to trust in me, but to trust in him. I had to say, God, I don’t understand this. How am I going to make it? Bible says he owns a thousand cattle upon a what? A thousand hills. The Bible says in the book of Revelation, he’s got gold in the river of Havilah. Did you know that? Did you know that heavens, the new Jerusalem, the gates are of what? Giant pearls. Do you understand? Giant pearl. This is a pearl. Somebody gave me this as a gift. A wonderful little girl gave this. It’s true pearls. I went to go preach in Arizona and she gave it to me as a gift. I can’t imagine the gate of heaven being of pearls. Guess what the walls are made of? What are the walls made of? Do you know? Have you read it? Diamonds. Not only diamonds, what else? Amethyst. What else? Jasmine, every precious stone you can think about. You see, the Bible says that the streets of heaven, the streets of the new Jerusalem are made out of gold. So, so pure, so pure, the transparent. Do you understand what that tells me? That God uses the gold that we wear for earrings. God uses it to pave his streets. It’s like concrete to God. Do you think God is concerned about your finances? God will take care of you. The Bible says he is Jehovah Jireh. Do you know what Jehovah Jireh means? I am your provider. You see, if you take care of yourself and you hold back, that’s the worst thing you can do. You see, the thing that took me to another level was reading the story in Kings about the widow who had nothing and she gave and God supplied. Do you know how hard it was to first give? It was hard to first give because my natural eye, my natural feelings, my natural emotions said, If I give, there’s not gonna be enough. If I give, what am I gonna do? No. Faith is what? Faith is a substance of things hoped for. Wait, let me stop there. Faith is the things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. Let me say that again. Not seen. Do you understand? You can’t see the finances. You can’t see the marriage work out. You can’t see the car that you need. You can’t see the house payment that needs to be paid. You can’t see the sickness that needs to be gone. You can’t see it. You can’t see it with your natural eye. Your natural eye is blind to the faith of God. God takes the unseen and brings it to our eyes to be able to see it completed. That’s faith. I like how Ms. Lee said, I am healed. I know, because I fought through cancer. You don’t know what it’s like until you are so sick you can’t even move. They told me I would be dead. I don’t know if you know what ovarian cancer is, but ovarian cancer is the worst kind of cancer that a woman can have. They told me, get your house in order. Do you have papers for your children? I said, I have no one to watch my children. And I said these words, I will live and not die. I had no idea that that was a scripture. Do you understand what is the spoken word over your life? My God is able to do all things exceedingly abundantly above all that I can even begin to think or ask. Greater is a God who dwells within me than he that’s in the world. We are more than conquerors through Christ Jesus who strengthens me. No weapon formed against me will prosper. and every tongue that rises up in judgment he will condemn, for that is the heritage of the servants of the Lord. Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law he does meditate.” day and night and night and day, and he will be like a tree that is planted by the rivers of living water, that whatsoever he does, he will prosper. I beseech thee, therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a holy and a living sacrifice unto God, which is your reasonable service, and do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by what? The renewing of your mind, that you may know what is God’s good, perfect, and his acceptable will. You see, the word is spoken. When you take the word and put it in your family, take the word over your children. I like their names. Their names are amazing. Take that word and start speaking. Do you know that Jacob prophesied over his children? Thou shall grow up strong with wisdom and might and understanding of the Lord. Pray over your children. wisdom and knowledge comes from god you shall be filled with his wisdom and understanding amen prosperity oh my goodness prosperity shall come to thy hand in jesus name god is never ending oh blessings blessings blessings the blessings of heaven be poured out upon you Speak the word over your life. Speak the word over your life. You shall be a mighty man, strong in his power and in his might. The word of God shall be like a sword, sharper than two-edged sword coming up out of you. It shall be like rivers of living water speaking to the hearts of the people. Let the word of God come out of you. God has not forsaken you. God sees your labor. God sees your work. You are not forsaken. He sees sometimes you feel like you’re all alone. God says you are not alone. He’s with you. And he’s going to surround you in an unbelievable presence of him. Amen? God loves you. You have a hunger for him. Something God wants you to do, but you keep kind of going. But God, do it. Do it. The blessing’s right around the corner. Let go to let God. Do what’s right in his sight and receive the divine blessing of God. Just let go to let God. Don’t be fearful. God will take care of you. Amen. God is a good God. He hasn’t forsaken you. He hasn’t forgotten you. Our God is a good God. Oh, he is the father to the fatherless. God wants you to know that he is your father. He loves you and he is going to take your life and show you great and mighty things. Don’t be discouraged. You’re not alone. You’re not forsaken. Oh, he knows your name and he knows every one of those hairs on your awesome head. And God has a great plan for your life. Amen. Our God is a good God. He’s the healer and the redeemer and the savior and the rock of ages. Oh my goodness. Oh, my goodness. Though your sins be before like scarlet, he will wash them white as snow.

Isn’t she a brain? Smart, smart, smart. God has good things for you. Don’t worry. It’s going to get better. Amen? Amen. Our God is a good God. Awesome is our God. Amen? Danny, you shall walk.
