>> Hi, my name is Cindy McGill.
I just, I'm glad to be here with you today.
I want to talk with you a little bit about the nature of God,
about us having, being partakers of a divine nature,
having God live on the inside of us.
I have a ministry called Hope for the Harvest,
and my outreach teams are Freedom Lounge,
and I'll explain a little bit about that.
My website is CindyMcGill.org, so you can make sure
and go on there and check out the videos
and some of our outreach efforts and fun things that we've done.
I have a real heart to reach people
that would be unreached by the church.
We go into places, our outreach teams
have gone into places where there is no presence of God,
there's no church people. There's no one who loves Jesus.
And so God began to direct us into these places.
It was really interesting.
In the beginning, I wasn't quite sure
what we were going to be doing in some of those places,
like the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock desert of Nevada,
the adult conventions, porn conventions,
we began to go in there.
We went into New Age stores and festivals,
and we went to the LGBTQ communities
and really, and even pagan festivals.
So I was a bit shocked, I had, we pastored for 35 years
and I thought, This is interesting
how God's now directing us to go out into all the world.
I always think about that and say,
Well, what part of all the world
are we supposed to stay out of, right?
Because we have the light on the inside of us.
And I think there were a few stories that came to mind
when we were doing this segment,
and I remember we took an outreach team,
we've done outreaches using dream interpretation primarily,
it's one of the best ways to get people to talk with you,
is to interpret their dreams.
I know that the new age has stolen that,
but it was really meant for us.
God is the one who designed dreams
to be a vehicle of communication for us,
and we see that through, in the book of Matthew
and with the birth of Jesus,
it's really all through the gospels, you know?
And he used dreams when Jesus was coming the first time,
and now he's pouring out his spirit on all flesh,
which means everyone,
those that do and don't know him are having dreams.
But importantly, we have Jesus living on the inside of us,
OK, so we are a partaker of a divine nature.
When we said yes to him,
we now begin to operate on a different level.
We are aliens. We're not of this world.
We have a supernatural presence on the inside of us
that is Jesus. And so when we're going out,
we are doing the great commission
and God is going with us, for us, before us.
He's bringing up the rear guard, and he's also in us
and through us to compel people to see him, to know his love,
to know his goodness. And we were in New York,
so we were actually doing dreams.
We were interpreting dreams for people at Times Square.
And a real favorite story of mine
was a young man who, he was an actor.
He actually, we didn't get to film this
and we usually film it all, but he was a contortionist.
He put himself in a box and I thought,
That's kind of interesting. We do that anyway, right?
Don't we all put ourselves in boxes?
And so he puts himself in a box, right, and folds himself up.
And so I thought, That's amazing.
I want to interpret this guy's dream if he's got one.
And sure enough, he did.
And he was from Jamaica, and I said,
Tell me about your dream.
You know, usually I've gotten to where now I can tell
when someone's had a dream,
they'll actually be highlighted to me or something.
And I'll say, tell me about your dream you just had.
And he said, this is crazy. I had a dream where he said,
my normal, natural father has passed.
He's no longer on the Earth. But
I have a dream that my dad comes at nighttime
and he lays on my bed and he tickles me.
And I said, Well, that's really cool.
What a great dream,
because you have the memory of your earthly father,
but you also have a father who made you.
And he was, it stopped him for a moment and he said,
Are you calling God a he?
And I, and I was listening to the Holy Spirit on, okay,
how do you want me to answer this, right?
And when I was listening to the Holy Spirit, again,
being a partaker of a divine nature,
my eyes started to shine.
It's a supernatural sign and wonder.
I don't know what else to tell you.
It's, light will begin to come out of my eyes.
And I was listening to,
because he was going on and on about God being a he
and should be a she and this and that
and, you know, and, and I'm just staring at him.
And this light is coming out of my eyes,
and he stopped mid-sentence and turned at me and said,
Who is that in you looking back at me?
And I said it's the one we're talking about.
I said, it's God. He is the father.
He's your father. And he couldn't argue with that.
It was one of those moments that arrested him,
and he realized that God is a father.
Another supernatural story that I really enjoy, again,
I've been as surprised as anyone,
when, when we're out doing ministry on outreach
and we're in some of these places
where no one expects Christians to go.
They don't expect God to show up in those places.
They think God doesn't like them
or they don't even think he's there, you know?
And so I was at Burning Man again,
the festival, it's 85000 people
and we had a great big tent called the Freedom Lounge.
And it's a spirit spa, right?
So we, we just wanted people to come in
and have a spiritual experience, and we created a menu board
that was very user friendly for language.
We didn't have God or Jesus on there
because we knew that the God hardened,
godless or God confused would not want to come in.
So we just put words down like "organic restart,
welcome to your new life" and "spiritual cleansing
and re-definement".
That's deliverance and infilling of the Holy Spirit.
We put "original root recovery", which is, you know who you are
before you went all these other ways,
where are you, what are you really made for?
And there was a young man who came in
and he's an entertainer in Vegas,
and I love this story because this guy was, you know,
I saw him from a distance
and we had these, those white plastic chairs,
you know, the cheap ones that you take out there.
And he sat down in the chair and from a distance,
six feet or more apart,
I looked at him and instantly said,
You're a worshiper.
And I never say that in a place like Burning Man.
And when I said it, I felt fire come out of my finger
and knock him over. He knocked over in the chair,
and bent those back rungs of the chair, snapped them in half.
He fell over on the, the ground, and he shook for like 15 minutes
or more under the power of the Holy Spirit.
And I just was like, This is so incredibly great.
God is getting this guy. He is getting ahold of him,
and I had nothing to do with it other
than to point out who he is, and come to find out,
he is a music entertainer in Vegas.
But he was called for worship. That's what he was called for.
And then he began to tell me
that his grandparents were pastors.
And I said, well, then you know exactly what you're called for.
You know what you're meant for.
And that was one of my favorite encounters of seeing God
just chase down someone and push him over, from me
being at least six to 10 feet apart from him.
The seer anointing begins to kick in
when you have the prophetic gift. Remember Jesus,
the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
So, so he's resident inside you.
The gift of prophecy is resident inside you.
You've already got it.
It's just a matter of learning now how to exercise it.
And then when you do,
this seer gift will begin to open up
and you'll begin to see things that you don't normally see.
You'll see people, you begin to see their heart,
you'll read their heart.
I've done this before where I can actually see their heart,
and I see radical root systems coming off of their heart.
And I know that they were told lies when they were young.
Or they were, it was their environment
they grew up in or whatever.
And I can begin to prophetically cut them off
and speak life to their original root,
who they really are, what they're made to do.
And we've done this in many places before
and also with a thing called true reflections.
We call it word art, where we stand with a mirror
and we have them sit and look in the mirror
and tell us everything they see.
And then we tell them everything we see.
And we recreate a whole new image
while they're looking at themselves.
They are weeping. They're crying.
They're discovering things about themselves
from us, perfect strangers.
However, God sees who they really are.
He knows who they really are,
and that's what they need to know.
When people would come in, the number one, probably, thing
that they were wanting mostly, were
Give me identity and give me a future.
Give me something to look forward to.
I don't know who I am and I don't know why I'm here.
And so God began to show us who he made them to be,
and we would get specific words of knowledge for them.
And they knew that we didn't know them.
They knew that we had no idea who they were.
We weren't, we weren't, we never met them before.
And then they would say, How do you know this?
And we would say, because we are
connected with the one who put you together.
And we're hearing from, from the creator.
And then they would say, Well, I need to know more.
And we said, Would you like to have
an encounter with the spirit of truth?
And then they'd put their hands out. We said,
Just put your hands out, and ask the spirit of truth to come.
And when they did, the Holy Spirit came in power.
These are people that would never give any Christian
the time of day, they'd been hurt in church,
or they haven't been or they're god hardened,
they don't believe he's there. And so they put their hands out.
Spirit of truth, come, spirit of truth did come.
Holy Spirit came. Their heads would go back,
they would start speaking in tongues,
and they would just start shaking under the power of God.
They would tell us after the encounter,
I don't know how long it went,
maybe five minutes, maybe 10, depending on however long
God wanted to encounter them, right?
And then they would say, what just happened to me?
And we said you just had an encounter with the one
who put you together, the creator. And they go,
How do I get this? And we said, Well, there's a hook up.
And I said, I am a follower of Jesus.
And for the young Jewish people that came in, we would say
I am a follower of Messiah.
And so they wanted to know more and they'd say, I want this too.
They said, I feel like the, the fog is off my head.
I feel like there's 500 pounds that have fallen off my back.
I feel like I can breathe. My lungs are open.
I feel like I can see light like the sky is blue.
Something happened to me. I had a transformation.
Something took place in my life when I had that encounter.
And we said, that's what it is to be born again.
That's what it is to have brand new life,
a brand new starting place,
a brand new place where old things,
all of your old life
and everything you've ever done will be removed from you.
And you can start again and Jesus will live inside you,
and you will then begin to understand life.
You will understand truth
and you will have the way in order to walk it out.
So these are my, some of my supernatural stories.
I love to see what God wants to do.
I love to see how he wants to encounter someone.
I have removed all of my formulas
from ways I used to reach people,
and I just let God do it.
So I just want to pray for you right now.
I want to ask for Jesus, for you just to give us courage
and to open us up to brand new things.
You said, God, you're doing a new thing.
God said, Behold, I do a new thing, before springs
forth, I'm going to show you.
We ask you, God, that you would teach us your ways,
that we would walk in your truth.
We ask God, for you to put your thoughts into our minds
and into our hearts
because we know that our ways are not your ways
and your thoughts are not our thoughts.
So we want to be one with you. We ask you to change our heart.
We ask you to mold us and shape us
for this season that we're in right now.
We ask you, God, to give us the understanding
of what you want to do
and how you want us to be connected with you
and walking with you in perfect unity in the days to come.
So I thank you for every home. I thank you for every family.
I thank you for the financial provision for every family.
God, I thank you that you're bringing the prodigals home.
You're bringing the ones who knew you once
before back into your kingdom again,
you're going to bring them right back into their place
and they're going to be on fire for you.
I want to give you encouragement
that God has got great things ahead for you.
Just because it's been dark, it seems like it's been dark,
there's been some things that you haven't understood, God's
only used it for preparation to get us ready
for where we're going.
And so we have to remember that. Joseph in Genesis
was in the prison for a while
and he was there longer than he wanted to be.
But he was in preparation to go to the palace.
And when he got to the palace from prison,
he had a brand new mindset.
He had to think differently in the palace
than what he thought in the prison.
So I just want to thank you God, for doing that.
Get ready for new adventures. Get ready for new things.
God's doing something brand new.
He's teaching us how to walk with him.
He's teaching us how to have his heart,
that our heart would beat with his heart,
and we would rejoice for things he rejoices with
and we would weep for things he weeps about
and that he would give us his heart for people
that are away from him that don't know him.
And he's bringing us into perfect alignment with our call
and our destiny in this hour in Jesus name, Amen.
