Hello, hello, and welcome back God's Diamonds in the Rough.
00:00:05.203 --> 00:00:07.850
We are so glad to be with you one more time.
00:00:07.850 --> 00:00:11.162
Amen, we hope all is well, Honey.
00:00:11.162 --> 00:00:11.743
How are you?
00:00:13.000 --> 00:00:18.632
Very, very, very excited about today.
00:00:19.140 --> 00:00:21.228
All right, me too as well.
00:00:21.228 --> 00:00:31.012
Today we got a guest, you all, and I don't want to mess her name up, so I'm going to let her introduce herself after we pray Amen.
00:00:31.012 --> 00:00:43.734
But we're going to talk about how the hand of God moves us into our purpose, moves us into his plan that is above ours.
00:00:43.734 --> 00:00:44.939
Hallelujah, hallelujah.
00:00:44.939 --> 00:00:49.869
So before we get her on, y'all know what we got to do.
00:00:50.752 --> 00:00:51.253
Let us pray.
00:00:51.253 --> 00:00:55.927
Dear Heavenly Father, our Lord and our Savior, jesus Christ, we come to you once again and say thank you.
00:00:55.927 --> 00:00:59.140
We thank you for your grace and your mercy, your love and kindness and turn of mercy.
00:00:59.140 --> 00:01:15.096
We pray in the name of Jesus that again, always, that your Holy Spirit just move about this world, move about this platform as we dive into our purpose, our design purpose that came from you.
00:01:15.096 --> 00:01:19.650
We pray in the name of Jesus again, that the Holy Spirit just have its way.
00:01:19.650 --> 00:01:28.387
We counsel any assignment of the enemy that will be sent back into the pits of hell where it came from, for it has no power, no demand, no authority, but your word.
00:01:28.387 --> 00:01:29.248
Say that we do.
00:01:29.248 --> 00:01:39.917
We pray in the name of Jesus that the ones that don't even know who you are, we hear something that we encourage them to come in your direction.
00:01:39.917 --> 00:01:43.030
We pray this all in Jesus' name.
00:01:43.030 --> 00:01:45.003
We say thank you and we say amen.
00:01:45.224 --> 00:01:47.829
Amen amen, amen amen.
00:01:50.100 --> 00:01:50.701
Hallelujah.
00:01:50.701 --> 00:01:58.855
So Miss Anna is in the room and we want to actually say hello to our diamonds.
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:01.182
Hello everyone.
00:02:01.182 --> 00:02:07.492
This is Anna McGrillish-Philly and I'm the founder of Christian Professionals of Atlanta.
00:02:07.492 --> 00:02:08.574
It's great to be here.
00:02:09.039 --> 00:02:19.508
We're so glad to have you so, and we already gave you the topic for the day, so can you tell us a little bit about yourself, Miss Anna?
00:02:19.788 --> 00:02:23.752
I think today's prayer was just perfect.
00:02:23.752 --> 00:02:40.002
You know, michael, when you prayed for people who do not know God because I was one of those people just four years ago Most of my life I was an atheist and, you know, didn't know who God was.
00:02:40.002 --> 00:02:57.250
I grew up in Eastern Europe and I came to the United States in 2008 to pursue my college degree and then I stayed and for many years, I just pursued that corporate career focusing on making money, didn't really focus on anything else.
00:02:57.250 --> 00:03:06.540
However, we all know that, even if you're not a believer, god created us all to have a purpose and it's his purpose.
00:03:06.540 --> 00:03:15.727
Yeah, um, and so, deep inside, I always had this feeling that I meant to do something else, like something that had a deeper purpose.
00:03:15.727 --> 00:03:23.366
I was in sales, so I didn't feel like I was making an impact on this world right and so I didn't really know what to do about it.
00:03:23.387 --> 00:03:32.588
So I kept just kind of quieting it through vacations and buying stuff, and that thing was really bringing that fulfillment.
00:03:32.748 --> 00:03:33.009
Right.
00:03:33.360 --> 00:03:36.519
So here's what happened, and it was kind of unexpected.
00:03:36.519 --> 00:03:54.723
About four years ago I woke up in the middle of the night, which is quite unusual for me because I typically sleep through the night, and I was white-naked and I've never prayed in my entire life, but for some reason that night I felt compelled to pray and.
00:03:54.763 --> 00:04:03.445
I didn't know how to pray, so it went something like God, if you exist right, can you please show me what my purpose is like?
00:04:03.445 --> 00:04:03.705
Why?
00:04:03.705 --> 00:04:06.233
Why do I keep feeling this way?
00:04:06.233 --> 00:04:07.686
Is there more to life?
00:04:07.686 --> 00:04:12.050
And so what followed was quite supernatural.
00:04:12.050 --> 00:04:22.490
I heard an audible voice outside of myself giving me directions Go to the store, make lunches, feed the hungry.
00:04:22.490 --> 00:04:25.107
Very specific instructions.
00:04:25.107 --> 00:04:29.884
I was freaked out, right, because you're like am I dreaming?
00:04:29.906 --> 00:04:36.064
right, right, I don't know how, but I forced myself to go to sleep because I'm like I'm going to deal with this in the morning.
00:04:36.064 --> 00:04:49.730
So in the morning I wake up and I know no, something did happen right, and I'm going to work and I tell them I'm not coming in, I need to take a personal day, and I follow the instructions.
00:04:49.730 --> 00:04:57.829
So I go to the store, buy all the supplies, I make 24 bags of lunches, and so I am.
00:04:57.829 --> 00:05:04.091
You know, live in Atlanta, georgia, so I've seen a lot of people struggling with homelessness downtown.
00:05:04.091 --> 00:05:08.031
So I just pack up my bag, get in the car, start driving.
00:05:08.031 --> 00:05:14.333
Every time I would see a homeless person, I would stop, offer them lunch, give this lunch as a way.
00:05:14.333 --> 00:05:25.603
So after about an hour I come across a whole group hanging out together yeah, so I count them and I have exact number of lunches left.
00:05:25.985 --> 00:05:37.891
I look over and you know they're happy I give all my lunches away and so I think, okay, I'm done for the day, right.
00:05:37.891 --> 00:05:44.795
I am about to get in my car and suddenly one of the ladies calls me and she says hey, honey, come over here.
00:05:44.795 --> 00:05:46.278
So I walk over.
00:05:46.278 --> 00:05:55.822
She says I have a gift for you which have, oh, my goodness, like you have a gift for me, yeah, and she's like hold on.
00:05:55.822 --> 00:06:03.968
So you know, she has her big bag of all of her belongings and she's just ramaging through her stuff looking for this gift she wants to give me.
00:06:03.968 --> 00:06:08.970
Finally she finds it and with this big smile she just hands it to me.
00:06:08.970 --> 00:06:13.867
So I take it and it's this little bird, and I examine it.
00:06:13.867 --> 00:06:24.295
It's a little sparrow and on its chest it was written Now in God's Hands, woo, yes.
00:06:24.295 --> 00:06:26.427
And that moment I still.
00:06:26.427 --> 00:06:36.985
Anytime I tell the story, I get this chills just going through my body because I remember that moment because it felt like this this bolt of lightning just struck my heart.
00:06:37.622 --> 00:06:39.007
I burst into tears.
00:06:39.007 --> 00:06:48.461
I get in my car and I'm sobbing and I'm just the same phrase repeating in my head God is real, god is real head.
00:06:48.461 --> 00:06:50.084
God is real, god is real, god is real, right, yeah.
00:06:50.084 --> 00:06:59.305
So just like that, being an atheist to find knowing, okay, I've been called by God and he arranged this whole situation.
00:06:59.305 --> 00:07:05.735
So I get back home and, I kid you not, I order my first Bible from Amazon.
00:07:05.735 --> 00:07:10.110
So the next day it arrives, I start reading the Bible.
00:07:10.110 --> 00:07:12.646
Right, I didn't understand any of it.
00:07:12.646 --> 00:07:15.910
So then I'm like, okay, I need to figure this out.
00:07:15.910 --> 00:07:23.153
So I literally Google best churches in Atlanta and pick one, just like you would pick a restaurant.
00:07:23.153 --> 00:07:27.048
Right, right, right, going to church, yeah.
00:07:27.079 --> 00:07:30.269
So, then, you know, I fast forward about a year.
00:07:30.269 --> 00:07:33.620
I'm learning about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.
00:07:33.620 --> 00:07:37.630
Like I realized, I had to change a lot of my ways.
00:07:37.630 --> 00:07:40.148
So about a year later I get baptized.
00:07:40.148 --> 00:07:48.560
So you know.
00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.428
But that feeling that I described earlier of kind of unhappiness with my life just grew so much.
00:07:51.428 --> 00:07:55.319
Right, because we know that it's just your old ways no longer serve you.
00:07:55.319 --> 00:08:12.500
Well, then I had this um, thinking that I need to take a sabbatical, because if I take this time to really search for God's purpose, this will just serve me.
00:08:12.500 --> 00:08:17.615
So I did that, so I quit my job and most people thought I was crazy.
00:08:17.716 --> 00:08:21.423
I was making so much money, right, yeah.
00:08:21.423 --> 00:08:25.057
And and at that point I was willing to go anywhere.
00:08:25.057 --> 00:08:26.761
I said, lord, take me anywhere.
00:08:26.761 --> 00:08:35.183
I put my condo up for sale, I packed my suitcases and I just started traveling and I was like I'm willing to move anywhere, lord.
00:08:35.183 --> 00:08:42.128
So during that time, some things that I did was I was healing my past.
00:08:42.128 --> 00:08:43.942
So I went back to where I'm from.
00:08:43.942 --> 00:08:51.528
I went to Israel and Jordan and Palestine to visit the holy places because I wanted to really get closer to God.
00:08:51.528 --> 00:08:54.984
And lots of pandering happened for about six months.
00:08:54.984 --> 00:09:04.070
But in those six months the sale of my condo fell through at the closing table three times at the last minute, oh, wow.
00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:08.466
And at the third time I knew, okay, god wants me to be back in atlanta.
00:09:08.466 --> 00:09:10.477
I'm like I hear you, lord, I'm coming back.
00:09:10.477 --> 00:09:13.403
So come, come back to atlanta.
00:09:14.206 --> 00:09:22.105
And so that's where this whole purpose started unraveling and I started going on silent retreats.
00:09:22.105 --> 00:09:28.647
So I thought about how jesus would go away in wilderness by himself and pray by himself.
00:09:28.647 --> 00:09:33.187
And I said you know, I need something like that to really seek God's guidance.
00:09:33.187 --> 00:09:37.586
So I started implementing practice of silent retreats.
00:09:37.586 --> 00:09:46.504
So my first one I went for five days no electronics, no cell phones and I wrote my first book.
00:09:46.504 --> 00:09:54.691
So my first book is called Finding Courage to Change, and it really felt like just this kind of divine download, like two days.
00:09:54.691 --> 00:10:03.395
The whole book was written right, and so the purpose of that book was really a lot about healing, but also about helping a lot of women.
00:10:03.395 --> 00:10:17.840
So I am a survivor of child sexual abuse and that's a very taboo, very dark topic that not many people talk about and it really makes a lot of survivors feel very isolated, very alone.
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:27.148
And so when I started talking about it, so many women started coming to me and sharing their own stories and journey.
00:10:27.148 --> 00:10:35.048
You know, just building this community of support, it's just been really tremendous in my own healing and supporting others.
00:10:35.917 --> 00:10:38.864
But that's only a part of the purpose, right?
00:10:38.864 --> 00:10:46.937
So two more months go by, right, and I go on my second silent retreat and God is kind of quiet.
00:10:46.937 --> 00:10:49.500
You know, in this particular one I just don't hear anything.
00:10:49.500 --> 00:10:57.886
Don't hear anything, and so it's my last day before I'm getting ready to go to sleep and then come back and you know, I just pray.
00:10:57.886 --> 00:11:03.272
You know, lord, like I didn't hear anything about where you want me to go, what my purpose is.
00:11:03.272 --> 00:11:11.147
Maybe I just need to go back to St Paul's signals, you know, or just wait for you to open the door.
00:11:11.147 --> 00:11:11.548
I'm not quite sure.
00:11:11.548 --> 00:11:22.841
So I'm just kind of praying like I'm just going to be obedient, and suddenly whoosh, I get this vision and this like business plan of what he wants my purpose to be, and so I'm about to share what it is.
00:11:22.902 --> 00:11:42.559
But it took some time to get there right and it was so big and so overwhelming that I just fell down on my knees and started sobbing like I don't know how you want me to achieve it, like I have nobody lord, I don't have any power, I don't have any connections, so just kind of overwhelmed, right.
00:11:42.559 --> 00:11:53.855
And it often happens I've heard from other people when they get that vision from god, they often feel overwhelmed and not equipped, right, right, and we have examples in the bible too.
00:11:53.855 --> 00:11:59.567
A lot of the times, you know, they felt overwhelmed with the mission that god.
00:11:59.567 --> 00:12:04.602
And so you know, after the first shock has passed, I was like you know what?
00:12:04.602 --> 00:12:07.226
God showed this as a success.
00:12:07.226 --> 00:12:09.817
I just need to start moving toward it.
00:12:09.878 --> 00:12:13.183
So how can I start moving toward this plan, right?
00:12:13.183 --> 00:12:28.368
So my number one step I needed to grow my Christian circle, so I started doing Christian meetups, christian professional chambers, and there was really nothing in Atlanta that met consistently.
00:12:28.368 --> 00:12:40.125
So that's how Christian Professionals of Atlanta was born is just basically an organization that meets monthly, brings Christian professionals in the metro area together.
00:12:40.125 --> 00:12:57.376
We meet each other, we grow our circle, we help the community, and we've been doing this for now a year and a half okay so after about a year I was like okay, this, this is a successful first step, we're ready for the next step.
00:12:57.596 --> 00:13:05.466
the next step was we rebranded this year, so from Christian Professionals of Atlanta we're now Christian Professionals Network Worldwide.
00:13:05.466 --> 00:13:19.587
And it was interesting because I, when we first started, I went ahead and got us a name Christian Professionals of America, because I thought this is going to grow nationwide, because that's what God showed me, right right.
00:13:20.796 --> 00:13:46.360
The first request to start a chapter came from Brazil, and so this is an interesting point, because sometimes our thoughts are much smaller than what God's is absolutely important for us to sometimes look at these signs that happen, and so, when that happened, it's like, oh god, like I was thinking too small.
00:13:46.400 --> 00:13:48.205
You want this worldwide?
00:13:48.205 --> 00:13:52.116
Okay, no problem, pivot right, rebrand.
00:13:52.116 --> 00:14:06.984
So okay, we rebranded at the beginning of the year and then, finally, we're now in the process of just final stage, and that's exactly what God's vision was, and so we launched our foundation piece of the whole puzzle.
00:14:06.984 --> 00:14:14.168
So the vision was that relationship poverty is a big issue in this country.
00:14:14.168 --> 00:14:26.543
What it means is one in five Americans say that they feel lonely, they don't have enough community around them, and it becomes a number one reason why people become homeless.
00:14:26.543 --> 00:14:28.225
So what happens?
00:14:28.225 --> 00:14:49.791
Unexpected things happen, right Car breaks down, health issue, loss of job, and it's people who are living paycheck to paycheck and unfortunately, they don't have a strong community of people who they can go to and end up living in their car or, you know, shelters, or in the streets.
00:14:49.791 --> 00:15:01.327
So a lot of the times, shelters do a wonderful job, trying to get them back on their feet with the job, with the housing, but that piece of the relationship poverty is not fixed Right.
00:15:01.615 --> 00:15:07.615
So the piece we're coming into is this mentorship program that we're now offering.
00:15:07.615 --> 00:15:18.610
So we've partnered with an existing homeless shelter and now having mentors who are Christian professionals mentoring people living in homeless shelters.
00:15:18.610 --> 00:15:37.336
So what that allows is a long term friendship of them going to church together, building that community around them, really having that solid friend, right, advisor, just somebody you can really call and ask for whatever help you might need.
00:15:37.336 --> 00:15:52.426
Right, and as we go through this program it's an 18 month program after they're done, you know, and hopefully successful, and they have their own job and house and now they have a community around them.
00:15:52.426 --> 00:16:09.638
We're still not done we are at that point gifting them a year of the membership in our networking side so that they can keep coming and now really meeting a lot of professionals, because our hope is that we could also impact their job opportunities in the future.
00:16:09.719 --> 00:16:15.258
Right, because as you network with more people, you can really grow in many ways.
00:16:15.258 --> 00:16:17.763
So it's a lot to.
00:16:17.763 --> 00:16:35.971
I tried to really compact in this short period of time, but I hope that they gave a kind of a story of how God really used just beautiful, right, yeah, absolutely, he taught me to be a homeless person and now we're helping people to get out of homelessness.
00:16:35.971 --> 00:16:41.708
Absolutely, I think it's one of the more creative stories that I you know.
00:16:41.708 --> 00:16:42.591
It's beautiful.
00:16:42.952 --> 00:16:43.715
It's awesome.
00:16:43.715 --> 00:16:51.047
I think it's awesome just simply because, you know, when we take us out of the picture and just be used by God, this is the result of it.
00:16:51.047 --> 00:16:53.029
Yeah, michael, you had a thought.
00:16:54.498 --> 00:17:04.962
Yeah, I was just looking at your pod method we're using and one thing that really, I guess, touched me in a way.
00:17:04.962 --> 00:17:08.348
It says from desperation to hope.
00:17:08.348 --> 00:17:18.409
We got to understand that, look we, we are going to be at a place in life that we're going to feel as if we're alone.
00:17:18.409 --> 00:17:28.750
But God uses that moment of that desperation to draw us to us, to draw us to him, to draw us to him, and I can remember the time when God first spoke to me.
00:17:28.750 --> 00:17:32.183
I'm looking like, oh, somebody around me, talking behind me.
00:17:32.183 --> 00:17:40.762
It's like it puts you in awareness that, look, god wants us to listen to him.
00:17:40.762 --> 00:17:48.635
Sometimes we get so out of place that we're always talking and we're not having the time in a moment to listen to God.
00:17:48.635 --> 00:17:52.263
That's why he tells us that my sheep knows my voice.
00:17:52.263 --> 00:18:00.585
That means you have to sometimes sit down, close your mouth and open your ears.
00:18:00.585 --> 00:18:07.239
That's why we got two ears and one mouth, because we have to understand that the ears is more powerful than the mouth.
00:18:07.239 --> 00:18:09.486
That's what we get too.
00:18:10.602 --> 00:18:12.067
That's right, I agree.
00:18:12.067 --> 00:18:17.759
I mean, and that's the reason why now, silent retreats is a consistent practice.
00:18:17.759 --> 00:18:37.051
So I go about every four to five months to a silent retreat because during that time it really allows for me to shut down everything around me and really just spend my time listening to God and praying everything around me and really just spend my time listening to God and praying.
00:18:37.051 --> 00:18:39.733
And this is the practice that propelled mission so much faster.
00:18:39.733 --> 00:18:45.897
Because a lot of people get surprised by how much you have accomplished in such a short period of time.
00:18:45.897 --> 00:18:48.441
Well, that's God.
00:18:48.441 --> 00:18:48.580
Right.
00:18:48.580 --> 00:18:53.292
Like we got our foundation IRS approval letter in less than three weeks.
00:18:53.292 --> 00:18:57.111
That's unheard of to get something like this this fast.
00:18:57.111 --> 00:19:04.086
And when people say unheard of, I said no, that's God, he wants this to go and so he will move mountains.
00:19:04.086 --> 00:19:06.705
Nothing is impossible for him.
00:19:08.330 --> 00:19:08.832
I love it.
00:19:08.832 --> 00:19:10.847
I just love everything that you've said.
00:19:10.847 --> 00:19:29.454
This is a powerful story about the hand of God and his favor, and you know the fact that when we're willing and obedient, it's nothing that he won't do, it's not a door that he won't open, and you know this is a great encouragement for anybody who has, I would say, heard from God.
00:19:29.454 --> 00:19:41.673
You know, when you ask him to make himself real to you and make himself plain to you, he will absolutely do it and he'll use the least likely thing to get your attention.
00:19:41.673 --> 00:19:43.505
You still have that bird.
00:19:43.505 --> 00:19:44.910
You still have that bird, don't you?
00:19:46.099 --> 00:19:47.083
Oh, absolutely.
00:19:47.083 --> 00:19:51.132
That bird is, you know, in front of my prayer, where I pray every morning.
00:19:51.132 --> 00:19:57.587
I look at it because that's a reminder, it's a physical reminder of the first time that God called me.
00:19:57.587 --> 00:20:14.596
And you know, holy Spirit is moving me to say this to your listeners there's somebody who is going to hear, or already heard, something from God and they're really struggling to accept it.
00:20:14.596 --> 00:20:17.102
And my advice is don't say no, just take the first step.
00:20:17.102 --> 00:20:22.051
I know it's scary because God only gives you that next step and you don't see the full picture.
00:20:22.051 --> 00:20:31.845
But just take that first step and then he'll show you the next, and then the next, and then it's the most amazing journey when you live in God's purpose.
00:20:31.845 --> 00:20:36.190
I mean, I do not ever want to go back to my life before this.
00:20:36.349 --> 00:20:37.731
Yes, that's what I say.
00:20:37.731 --> 00:20:39.534
Not ever Awesome.
00:20:39.534 --> 00:20:59.339
So, uh, it's unfortunate, you guys, we got to go um time wise, um, we would love to have you back on, uh, um, on another show and, I'm sure, on another topic, whether it be the silent retreats or your experience how you overcame the child abuse.
00:20:59.339 --> 00:21:02.742
You got a couple different things going on here.
00:21:02.742 --> 00:21:12.560
I would love to further elaborate on another occasion, but we want to get final thoughts before we get ready to go.
00:21:12.560 --> 00:21:13.205
And Michael, you want to start?
00:21:13.205 --> 00:21:14.778
We're before we get ready to go and Michael, you want to start.
00:21:15.140 --> 00:21:15.261
Yeah.
00:21:15.281 --> 00:21:16.460
We're going to let you go last, all right.
00:21:17.400 --> 00:21:29.276
And I'm glad that you said that for me to go first, because I just want to piggyback on something you just said, ana, that it was so vital.
00:21:29.276 --> 00:21:35.511
The last thing you said that you know, don't just say no, just allow god to move.
00:21:35.511 --> 00:21:51.406
Because we got to realize this if god really showed us the full diagram of the plans that he has for us, the question remains this would you continue to talk to God?
00:21:51.406 --> 00:22:07.549
And if he even gave you the whole diagram and we can even go further than that if he actually showed you the whole diagram of your life and your purpose, you'll get too big-headed that you know more than God.
00:22:07.549 --> 00:22:08.030
That's the.
00:22:08.070 --> 00:22:12.165
That's the biggest mistake that Satan had going for him.
00:22:12.165 --> 00:22:17.383
He thought and that he knew and was better than god, and that's why he failed.
00:22:17.383 --> 00:22:23.034
So god is keeping us not to fall like satan did, but to prosper.
00:22:23.034 --> 00:22:25.865
That's why he tells in his word in john 10 10 to keep.
00:22:25.865 --> 00:22:30.923
The thief comes to steal, kill and destroy, but I come to give you more life and more abundantly.
00:22:30.923 --> 00:22:42.673
He, he lets us know that, look, I have bigger plans for you that Satan himself could have had if he was not too big-headed and thought he was bigger than him.
00:22:42.673 --> 00:22:55.467
So that's why God gives us little things in little segments, because not only not for us to get big-headed, but we can't contain all the good pleasures that God has for us to get big headed, but we can contain all the good pleasures that God has for us all at once.
00:22:55.467 --> 00:22:58.636
Alright, now yeah.
00:22:58.656 --> 00:22:59.440
Amen, amen.
00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:13.906
My final thought, again, as I've already said, I'll say it again Be willing and ready For God to show up in your life and he will use you In the most extraordinary ways.
00:23:13.906 --> 00:23:41.973
Um, and that's my word, um, ms Anna, if you could, as you close up and give the final word, but today, would you please also include where people can get your book, how people can um, get into this mentorship program that you have and just really like the, the, the, the big things that people need to have in order to reach where you are.
00:23:42.875 --> 00:23:45.143
Amen, absolutely, yeah.
00:23:45.143 --> 00:24:01.569
So my final thought is you know, just to summarize everything, if you're truly ready, open your heart to God and really truly say that prayer, say god, I'm ready, right, just truly open your heart and he will show you.
00:24:01.569 --> 00:24:13.266
He will speak to you exactly as need to be spoken to, because not not one story is the same, right, he will know exactly what you need and at what time you will need it.
00:24:13.266 --> 00:24:18.807
Um, I just say that every person finds their purpose in this life and god's purpose.
00:24:18.807 --> 00:24:19.628

So let's pray out Hallelujah.
00:24:44.948 --> 00:24:47.587
Father, we thank you so much for your grace and your mercy.
00:24:47.587 --> 00:24:58.867
Thank you, god, for just allowing us this um moment to be able to um converse with one another, and how you've shown us how you show up on purpose for us.
00:24:58.867 --> 00:25:19.491
We thank you for Miss Anna and all that she's doing for the body, and I just pray that you'll continue to use her in great ways, in magnificent ways, that you would just continue to show her uncommon favor among people and Christians.
00:25:19.491 --> 00:25:25.868
I pray, in the name of Jesus, that her influence will continue to rise for your glory.
00:25:25.868 --> 00:25:31.144
I pray not only would you touch her, but touch her family and touch everybody that she impacts.
00:25:31.144 --> 00:25:35.012
God, use her, our sister, in a mighty, mighty way.
00:25:35.012 --> 00:25:47.132
We pray for every diamond that is here and we pray that every ear and every heart is blessed by what they have heard, and we just pray, god, you will continue to shape us all into the diamonds you would have us to be.
00:25:47.132 --> 00:25:50.446
Father, we love you so much, so very grateful and so thankful.
00:25:50.446 --> 00:25:55.049
In Jesus Christ's name, we do pray Amen, amen, amen, so much, so very grateful and so thankful.
00:25:55.049 --> 00:25:56.518
In jesus christ's name, we do pray amen, amen, amen.
00:25:56.518 --> 00:25:58.423
Thank you again, honor, for being here.
00:25:58.423 --> 00:26:03.787
We certainly do appreciate you and we're gonna definitely get back with you so you can have your own again.
00:26:03.887 --> 00:26:06.016
Okay, have a blessed day.
00:26:06.016 --> 00:26:07.059
All right, you have a blessing.
00:26:07.059 --> 00:26:10.883
All right, bye-bye, all right, y'all, y'all know what time it is.
00:26:12.003 --> 00:26:14.306
Remember until next time.
00:26:14.306 --> 00:26:18.509
You are a diamond in the rough.
00:26:18.989 --> 00:26:19.670
Amen.
