10
00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:51.759
start of can you believe how fast
it's gone? Right? But what we

11
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:55.719
generally do at the end of the
year, at least has been my tradition

12
00:00:56.240 --> 00:00:58.960
is you you know, you look
back, you look in the rearview mirror

13
00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:02.960
and consider the thing that you've got
right, maybe the things you could have

14
00:01:02.960 --> 00:01:06.640
done better. And in the new
year, you know, what are you

15
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:11.599
going to do? Are you open
for a change? Are there some things

16
00:01:11.599 --> 00:01:15.040
that we need to do differently?
Well? Our next guest Tammy Hotson Pillar,

17
00:01:15.040 --> 00:01:19.400
who has been a dear friend for
so many years. And I love

18
00:01:19.439 --> 00:01:26.760
this lady so dear because as a
sister in Christ, a prayer warrior,

19
00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:32.079
just an outstanding person. I mean, somebody that you would love to know.

20
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.159
I mean, she's just so dear
because she's so honest and all these

21
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:42.760
great attributes that she has. It's
no wonder that other women gravitate to her

22
00:01:42.319 --> 00:01:51.319
because of the just a positivity and
being such a woman of God and a

23
00:01:51.400 --> 00:01:57.400
woman of prayer. She has focused
on fasting for a number of years and

24
00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:02.799
she's become an evangelist in a says
for fasting basically because it works. And

25
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:06.920
so her new book is titled Fasting
for a Change. It's a twenty one

26
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:10.879
day journey of discovering who God created
you to be. Are you ready for

27
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:15.520
that journey? Well, Tammy Hodson
Pillar is with us and I want her

28
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:17.280
to join us now. Tammy,
welcome to the show. Good to have

29
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:21.840
you with us, So Bill,
thank you so much. It's always an

30
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:24.800
honor to be on your show.
You are a good friend of my husband

31
00:02:24.840 --> 00:02:28.800
Phil and I and been in our
church and we've been on your show,

32
00:02:28.879 --> 00:02:32.280
and I just kind of an honor
to be with you today. Well,

33
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:36.159
I hope you don't mind me bragging
on you, because I think the world

34
00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.680
of both you guys, And this
is our time, you know, Phil

35
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.439
and I we're blessed to talk most
weeks and we have that time, and

36
00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:47.800
I don't get as much time with
you. I think he protects you.

37
00:02:50.159 --> 00:02:53.479
Well, I don't know. I
don't know about that. I'm always busy

38
00:02:53.560 --> 00:02:57.879
either with our women's ministry or writing
a book or But of course I love

39
00:02:57.919 --> 00:03:00.120
listening to your show. I love
hearing him on your show, and just

40
00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:05.120
appreciate you so much. Yeah,
we do have a great chemistry. It's

41
00:03:05.159 --> 00:03:07.840
a lot of fun the way we've
played off each other. And you know

42
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:12.360
the history because you were there in
the early days. Phil was one of

43
00:03:12.360 --> 00:03:15.560
the first guests that we had on
Bill Martinez Live. When I was in

44
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:21.719
Los Angeles at k Bright Radio.
He came to the studios and was one

45
00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:24.439
of the first guests that we had
because at the time, Tammy, after

46
00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:29.719
I graduated from Bible College, and
I felt like God was calling me back

47
00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:31.960
behind the microphone, and I thought, well, God, you know,

48
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:35.919
I was a juvenile before I was
behind the microphone. But I'm you know,

49
00:03:35.960 --> 00:03:39.400
playing music and taking requests and you
know, talking about these basic,

50
00:03:39.520 --> 00:03:44.639
mundane kind of things. But to
get behind the microphone and talk about the

51
00:03:44.680 --> 00:03:50.400
things of God, well, I'll
tell you it was rather a bit of

52
00:03:50.439 --> 00:03:53.199
a wake up moment and one that
was a bit nerve wracking. But I

53
00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:55.479
said, Okay, Lord, if
this is what you're telling me to do,

54
00:03:55.960 --> 00:04:00.800
then I need to pursue something that
is going to be consistent with a

55
00:04:00.879 --> 00:04:05.439
biblical worldview in pursuit of the truth. And I felt like that's where God

56
00:04:05.560 --> 00:04:09.080
was leading me. And here we
are fifteen years later, and you and

57
00:04:09.120 --> 00:04:12.919
I are on We're on television now. You know, I just just hit

58
00:04:12.960 --> 00:04:15.400
me in my spirit, and I
think, who's ever listening right now on

59
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.360
the show? Is God open stores
of opportunity for all of us. There's

60
00:04:18.480 --> 00:04:23.079
platforms for all of us. And
you may not be a radio host,

61
00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:27.160
but you have social media. You
can jump on Facebook or Instagram or Twitter

62
00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:30.439
or whatever platform you use. We
all have an audience to share the gospel.

63
00:04:30.759 --> 00:04:34.199
And you've been a faithful servant obviously
through radio and now television. So

64
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.560
all of us need to get on
these platforms, and we need to share

65
00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.160
our voice, our convictions, the
claims of Christ. So yeah, kudos

66
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:45.920
to you for using this platform for
so long. But I'm so grateful to

67
00:04:45.959 --> 00:04:48.079
be on your show today and talk
about my new book, Fasting for a

68
00:04:48.199 --> 00:04:51.000
Change Now, and I do want
to get in that. But you just

69
00:04:51.040 --> 00:04:56.120
touched on something right now in terms
of what we all can contribute here.

70
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.240
We need to activate. We need
to activate for the kingdom and kingdom principles.

71
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:04.879
It's kind of like what happened with
the prophet when he was served,

72
00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.279
you know, the bad soup,
the bad porridge, right, because there

73
00:05:11.399 --> 00:05:14.839
was there was death in the porridge. And what did he ask for,

74
00:05:15.040 --> 00:05:21.360
Tammy? He asked for get me
the good stuff. Let's dilute the evil

75
00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:26.800
with the good stuff. And so
what you were just saying, that's what

76
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.560
came to mind is that this is
what we need to do, is people

77
00:05:30.920 --> 00:05:35.120
who are in control of the good
stuff, we need to pour that into

78
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:40.199
the culture, don't We absolutely?
Absolutely? And you know, as an

79
00:05:40.279 --> 00:05:44.399
advocate, both as a pastor of
a church as a life coach, I

80
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:47.399
work with the Women's ministry. The
one thing I do is to empower people,

81
00:05:47.439 --> 00:05:50.360
to encourage and inspire people. You
know, it's so easy for us

82
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:54.480
to look at someone else and think
I can't do it. You know,

83
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:57.600
they have a larger platform, or
they have a larger voice, or they

84
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:00.600
have more money or bigger resource.
But I'm just saying this on right now

85
00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:04.560
in my spirit, everyone has a
platform to share convictions and truth, and

86
00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.040
so I just wanted to encourage someone
right now before we jump into the book

87
00:06:09.079 --> 00:06:13.240
and what we're doing. We're living
in a day bill. It's incumbent upon

88
00:06:13.360 --> 00:06:15.920
us. I mean, we've seen
what's happened since COVID in the last three

89
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:19.920
years, since this pandemic, and
the enemy has been very strategic. I

90
00:06:19.959 --> 00:06:24.399
was on your show last year and
we talked about the enemy brought a spirit

91
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:29.720
of destruction, of fear of lies, and we are beginning to wake up.

92
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.040
I think the church is even beginning
to wake up and say we fell

93
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.560
for the lie of the enemy.
And one of the reasons when when we

94
00:06:35.600 --> 00:06:39.240
get to the book is when Holy
Spirit spoke to me, he said,

95
00:06:39.399 --> 00:06:42.920
would you be willing to fast for
a change. You know, I believe

96
00:06:42.959 --> 00:06:46.480
we need a change in America.
We're getting ready to go into an election

97
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.879
shortly, and I really really believe
that we can see a change in America,

98
00:06:51.360 --> 00:06:55.720
but it has to start with us. The change has to start with

99
00:06:55.879 --> 00:06:59.959
us, the Church, bride the
believers, and when the change happens,

100
00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:02.920
we'll see a corporate change in our
country. Exactly. Well, when you

101
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.759
go back and consider the two hundred
and forty seven year history of this country,

102
00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:11.560
where did it begin? It came
out of the churches, right,

103
00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.879
that was the catalyst for all this
great unless we forget. So we need

104
00:07:15.920 --> 00:07:19.199
to go back and re embrace those
founding principles, those what I call,

105
00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:25.680
you know, first principles, and
re embrace those to get this country back

106
00:07:25.720 --> 00:07:28.600
on track. Because you're exactly right
down me. I mean, should God

107
00:07:28.680 --> 00:07:31.639
terry okay, we don't know.
I mean you and I we've talked about

108
00:07:31.680 --> 00:07:36.600
the prophetic. You know Phil as
well. You know he's a prophecy expert.

109
00:07:36.920 --> 00:07:41.920
We look at all the signs and
wonders and we go, okay,

110
00:07:41.959 --> 00:07:47.279
Lord, if it's not the final
chapter of revelations, then we need to

111
00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:53.720
be about the father's business. What
is the father's business right now? Should

112
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:59.319
this not be the exact appointed time? Well, you remember at Thesalonians when

113
00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:01.959
they all sat aroun and they're waiting
for you know the end to come.

114
00:08:03.120 --> 00:08:05.240
And he said he basically one thing
he said was you don't work, you

115
00:08:05.240 --> 00:08:09.560
don't need get up. You don't
know the day or the hour that our

116
00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.680
Lord's coming. So we're going to
work. We're going to be ambassadors,

117
00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:16.519
we're going to be the children of
God. And you know, I just

118
00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.040
want to say this is probably a
new topic for your audience because most Christians

119
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:24.279
don't understand fasting. I mean,
I'd love to delve into why fasting.

120
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:28.959
I mean, we can pray for
revival, you know, we can activate

121
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:33.840
revival, but why fast Hammy,
I mean people asking all the why.

122
00:08:33.919 --> 00:08:37.159
Yeah, and that's a good question. And I'm going to let you unwrap

123
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:41.840
that right now. Why fasting?
Okay, so let me just say this.

124
00:08:41.960 --> 00:08:43.440
I grew up in the church like
so many of us did, and

125
00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:48.240
fasting was not a component that was
taught to me. It wasn't one of

126
00:08:48.279 --> 00:08:52.639
the spiritual disciplines. I learned about
prayer, you know, I learned about

127
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.240
worship, I learned about reading the
Word of God. But I did not

128
00:08:56.399 --> 00:09:01.960
learn about fasting. And yet Bill
the Bible's replete story after story after story,

129
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:07.159
Old and New Testament on fasting.
So why fasting. Why did Jesus

130
00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.399
say, when the disciples came to
him and they could not cast the demon

131
00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:13.240
out of this little boy? He
looked at him and he said, howbeit

132
00:09:13.399 --> 00:09:18.519
this kind only comes out by prayer
and fasting. Why is it in Matthew

133
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.279
six, when the disciples came and
he took up up on the mountain,

134
00:09:22.320 --> 00:09:26.639
and he says, when you give, when you pray, when you fast,

135
00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:30.440
the church is supposed to fast.
So let's talk about this a little

136
00:09:30.480 --> 00:09:33.720
bit. Most of your listeners and
viewers probably know that we're right now.

137
00:09:33.720 --> 00:09:37.440
We're living in a day of what's
called intermittent fasting. It's kind of a

138
00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:41.159
new sheet cool thing to do.
We're all fasting for weight loss, or

139
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:45.159
we're fasting for our health. And
I will first of all say, the

140
00:09:45.279 --> 00:09:48.519
enemy will take anything biblical and he
will try to substitute it. So this

141
00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:54.039
isn't a physical fast for my physical
well being, although there will be the

142
00:09:54.080 --> 00:10:01.039
benefits of it. This is a
spiritual discipline where I literally and learning how

143
00:10:01.080 --> 00:10:05.440
to take my flesh and say no
to food. Now, let me go

144
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:07.679
a little deeper here, Bill,
because most people don't understand this. The

145
00:10:07.720 --> 00:10:13.919
word in the original language fast in
the Greek means no food. In the

146
00:10:13.039 --> 00:10:18.159
Hebrew it means shut your mouth.
So literally it's a picture of not eating

147
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.039
or consuming food. It's not about
fasting from social media or Netflix or shopping,

148
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:28.360
which are some things churches are trying
to teach today. I say,

149
00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:33.320
I think it's great to omit those
things from your life. But when we're

150
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:37.440
talking about a spiritual fast, bill, it's me saying to my flesh,

151
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:43.679
no, to the desires of my
flesh. So I say yes to kingdom

152
00:10:43.759 --> 00:10:48.200
principles and kingdom prayer request exactly,
well, this is this is God mandated.

153
00:10:48.480 --> 00:10:52.120
I mean we have to follow what
God has said, not what man

154
00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:56.720
said. Right, sure, well
absolutely, I mean it's a spiritual discipline.

155
00:10:56.759 --> 00:10:58.480
And you know so for me,
I fast on a regular basis.

156
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:03.440
Now I want to say to those
listening, I'd love to have you join

157
00:11:03.559 --> 00:11:07.960
us starting January twenty first for a
twenty one day national corporate fast. So

158
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.480
I'm inviting churches. My book is
out. I'd love you to get my

159
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:16.000
book on my website or on Fasting
for Amazon you can find it. But

160
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:20.279
I lead you in a twenty one
day fast, and I have coaching videos

161
00:11:20.360 --> 00:11:24.440
every morning for you for twenty one
days on my website, and I'll walk

162
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.840
you through these twenty one days that
we're looking for personal change in our life.

163
00:11:28.840 --> 00:11:33.840
And I've chosen twenty one categories that
we will ask God for personal change

164
00:11:33.840 --> 00:11:37.080
in our life. But what it
is, Bill, it is me.

165
00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:41.360
And I've now been fasting for many
years. I've learned the power of saying

166
00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:46.039
no to the gratifying of my flesh
and saying yees. So when my stomach

167
00:11:46.080 --> 00:11:50.360
grumbles, or when I'm on that
clock for breakfast, lunch, dinner,

168
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:54.200
a snack, whatever it is,
I say no. I literally then am

169
00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.639
pressing in and saying, Holy Spirit, I'm asking you for this, for

170
00:11:58.840 --> 00:12:01.159
this, for this, And it
is a war, Bill, It's a

171
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:05.840
spiritual war. For those twenty one
days. My stomach's going to ground my

172
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.200
desires for that chocolate chip cookie,
for that whatever it is I want to

173
00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:11.159
go after. But when you had
to say chocolate chip cookies, huh,

174
00:12:13.080 --> 00:12:16.240
you knew my weakness, especially with
nuts. I tell people, Dammy,

175
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.240
just sidebar here real quick, is
that when we get to heaven, it's

176
00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:22.720
chocolate chip cookies with nuts. Well, I'll remember that when I send you

177
00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:28.360
some Christmas cookies. Okay, but
what it is, but do it before,

178
00:12:28.519 --> 00:12:31.320
do it before January, because I'm
in with you on the journey.

179
00:12:31.360 --> 00:12:33.919
Okay, we'll thread on the tree
first together. But everybody listen up.

180
00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.200
That what it is is, I'm
learning how to say no to my flesh.

181
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.960
And I coach people all the time. Bill. If I can say

182
00:12:41.000 --> 00:12:45.240
no to food, I can say
no to other things exact, to other

183
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:48.879
temptations that come my way or things
that the enemy brings my way. So

184
00:12:48.919 --> 00:12:54.120
it's literally learning we can activate our
flesh by saying no to certain things.

185
00:12:54.120 --> 00:12:56.559
Now, literally, I'm not trying
to get everyone to fast three hundred and

186
00:12:56.600 --> 00:13:01.759
sixty five days a year. You
fast, Holy Spirit prompts you to fast.

187
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:05.279
You might fast if you're grieving or
for a prayer request, or for

188
00:13:05.320 --> 00:13:09.080
a healing or a breakthrough or a
miracle or a job or so there's certain

189
00:13:09.120 --> 00:13:13.279
times where Holy Spirit will say,
Tama, will you fast today right?

190
00:13:13.440 --> 00:13:16.159
Or were you fast this week?
And in my book, Bill, I

191
00:13:16.200 --> 00:13:20.440
go through the different types of fast
and you know what happens if I'm diabetic,

192
00:13:20.519 --> 00:13:22.759
or what happens if I'm this or
that, And I want to coach

193
00:13:22.799 --> 00:13:26.360
people in that. But what I
want to teach your audience today, is

194
00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:31.600
that there is a biblical principle on
fasting and learning how to say no to

195
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.799
our flesh to press into the things
of the spirit for supernatural miracles and divine

196
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:41.919
change. Well, God says in
his word that there is that that holy

197
00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:46.679
designated, sanctified fast, right,
and that is the fast that is designated

198
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.600
by God. Again, like we
talked about in what you were saying earlier,

199
00:13:50.639 --> 00:13:54.039
Tammy, that this comes from you
know what God has told us to

200
00:13:54.080 --> 00:13:58.360
do. Yeah, yeah, well, you know, I remember being on

201
00:13:58.399 --> 00:14:01.120
your show last year. This is
actually my book on fasting. And last

202
00:14:01.200 --> 00:14:05.559
year I wrote a book called Fasting
for Miracles, And as you know,

203
00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:09.279
I was believing God for some supernatural
miracles, and so that was what I

204
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.600
did all year long. I read
through that book it's again twenty one days,

205
00:14:11.639 --> 00:14:16.519
and pressed into the supernatural realm of
miracles. But again this year when

206
00:14:16.519 --> 00:14:20.039
I began to write this next book, it was for a change, because

207
00:14:20.080 --> 00:14:24.559
Bill, I have seen what's happened
to America over the last three years.

208
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.440
I've seen what's happened to our churches. Is they shut down, they became

209
00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:31.799
weak and woke. And I'm not
trying to be judged. I'm not the

210
00:14:31.879 --> 00:14:35.799
judge of anyone, and christ bride
is his bride. But I've seen how

211
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:39.000
we've become weak, and I just
think we have to change. We have

212
00:14:39.039 --> 00:14:43.240
to personally change. I mean,
that's why I'm a life coach. I

213
00:14:43.320 --> 00:14:46.919
encourage people to have personal growth and
personal change. But I believe that fasting,

214
00:14:48.000 --> 00:14:52.480
combined with our prayer and that petition
to God, we literally can see

215
00:14:52.559 --> 00:14:56.720
breakthrough. We can see God take
us deeper. We can press in to

216
00:14:56.840 --> 00:15:01.000
the supernatural things of God that I
really believe his church has really substituted for

217
00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:05.759
the things of the world. Yeah. Yeah, because we can either take

218
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:13.519
the admonishment of one another or what
are you going to do when when Jesus

219
00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.240
comes for his bride and he has
to say, you know, get away

220
00:15:16.279 --> 00:15:20.080
from me. I didn't even know
you. Yeah right, well, I

221
00:15:20.080 --> 00:15:24.840
think you know that verse. It
really hits us all because we sometimes it's

222
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:26.639
scary because we think to ourselves,
oh my a believer, I don't want

223
00:15:26.639 --> 00:15:30.440
the Lord to look at me and
say, depart from me. I never

224
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.639
knew you. But I do think
there's those who have come into what they

225
00:15:33.679 --> 00:15:37.559
think is to a relationship with Jesus
Christ by works, and you know,

226
00:15:37.600 --> 00:15:41.320
some people will even enter into a
fast by works. You know, I'm

227
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:46.240
on a lot of Catholic radio shows. I'm interviewed often with my fasting books,

228
00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:52.200
and Catholics I respect them because they
understand fasting. You know, Protestants

229
00:15:52.279 --> 00:15:56.120
and Evangelical churches don't often fast,
and Catholic churches are so interesting. A

230
00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.960
lot of my radio shows, they'll
say, you really act like you believe

231
00:16:00.000 --> 00:16:04.559
even this stuff. And one not
long ago, Billy goes, you look

232
00:16:04.679 --> 00:16:07.559
like you're doing this out of conviction, and I said to him, I

233
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.559
said, you know, you've got
to be sure that you're fast isn't brought

234
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:15.960
before the Lord as something that's routine
or wrote or a you know, and

235
00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:19.679
that's the one thing that Jesus condemned, or the pharris condemned the Pharisees of

236
00:16:19.919 --> 00:16:23.360
exactly is they use their works.
They were bringing their works. We can

237
00:16:23.399 --> 00:16:26.799
never bring our works. We bring
our The only righteousness we have is in

238
00:16:26.840 --> 00:16:30.440
the Lord Jesus Christ. So make
sure, my friend, when you're fasting,

239
00:16:32.039 --> 00:16:34.519
it's a spiritual discipline, and you
realize, hey, this is I'm

240
00:16:34.519 --> 00:16:38.759
going to enter into something difficult,
but it's something I choose to do as

241
00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:42.559
a spiritual discipline. Right, yeah, between you and God. It's not

242
00:16:42.600 --> 00:16:48.240
like you're going around and people see
you and you're frowning and looking awful,

243
00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:52.000
and you know somebody goes, Tammy, what's wrong. I'm fasting right right

244
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:56.159
right? Well, you know Bill
along those lines in my book, I

245
00:16:56.200 --> 00:16:59.720
talk about this because there's multiple fast
in the Bible. We know that there's

246
00:17:00.120 --> 00:17:03.480
corporate fast. We know that you
know Esther called a corporate fast, Joel

247
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:07.400
called corporate fast. Many corporate fast
and that's why I want to encourage your

248
00:17:07.400 --> 00:17:11.680
audience to join us in this nationwide
corporate fast for our country. But then

249
00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:15.920
again, there are times of private
fast. We know that David, after

250
00:17:15.119 --> 00:17:19.920
he had his affair with Bathsheba and
he was broken over the death of his

251
00:17:21.039 --> 00:17:23.960
son, this child that he had, he went into a fast. There

252
00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:30.880
are many times in brokenness and repentance
that we go into a very private personal

253
00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:34.359
fast before God. So you have
to determine what this fast is about.

254
00:17:34.799 --> 00:17:38.160
What are you fasting for? What
do you want God to do? Are

255
00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:45.640
you bringing people around with accountability and
like mindedness and you're fasting together corporately or

256
00:17:45.680 --> 00:17:49.039
is it a personal, private,
broken fast. And you know, again,

257
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.480
this reminds us of what we talked
about last time. As you go

258
00:17:52.519 --> 00:17:57.279
through this experience, we highly recommend
you journal this. This is so incredible

259
00:17:57.319 --> 00:18:02.680
because you will be so blessed because
at the end of the twenty twenty one

260
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:06.759
day journey, you're going to be
able to look back and see how the

261
00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.920
Spirit has worked in your life,
what changes actually happened, not only for

262
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:15.079
you personally, but corporately, what
happened in your marriage, what happened in

263
00:18:15.119 --> 00:18:21.279
your family, what happened here in
this country. You know, are we

264
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:26.960
going to be able to create a
movement of revival because that's what's necessary right

265
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:32.319
now for this country to get back
on track. Should Jesus Terry? Yeah?

266
00:18:32.839 --> 00:18:34.240
Well, and you know you've said
so many great things right there,

267
00:18:34.279 --> 00:18:38.000
Bill, And you know, sometimes
I ask myself, are we broken enough

268
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.000
yet? And I don't know how
we can be any more broken as a

269
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:44.720
country. I mean, my husband
was just showing me some things, and

270
00:18:44.759 --> 00:18:48.079
of course, you know he's got
his media outlet, American Faith dot Com.

271
00:18:48.079 --> 00:18:51.440
I'll put all plug in for that. But he's always making me aware

272
00:18:51.519 --> 00:18:52.960
of news articles and I'm just like, I don't want to hear it.

273
00:18:52.960 --> 00:18:55.920
I don't want to hear it.
I don't want to hear all that stuff.

274
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:59.440
But I see the brokenness of our
country and it reminds me of the

275
00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:03.799
brokenness of Israel so many times in
the Old Testament and even in the New

276
00:19:03.880 --> 00:19:07.519
Testament when the Church was broken.
And I have to say, God,

277
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.799
how broken do we have to be
before we see that next great awakening?

278
00:19:11.880 --> 00:19:15.400
Before we see that revival? But
you know who starts with. We know

279
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:19.960
what Second Chronicles tells us. If
my people who are called by my name

280
00:19:21.079 --> 00:19:26.000
will right term for the wicked ways, humble them self, repent, then

281
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:29.759
I will hear And it's incumbent upon
the Church. We cannot play. We

282
00:19:29.799 --> 00:19:33.680
can't blame the Republicans, the Democrats, our president, although I'd love to

283
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.160
put some blame there. It's really
the Church and its spiritual disciplines. I

284
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:42.799
mentioned that bill because I've just done
a whole podcast series of spiritual disciplines,

285
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:45.920
several of them. They are are
my website if any of your viewers want

286
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.799
to look at in my Tammy hotsonpillar
dot com. But I walk you through

287
00:19:49.839 --> 00:19:56.119
spiritual disciplines and how we literally have
to understand things like prayer, fasting,

288
00:19:56.319 --> 00:20:00.440
Bible study, praise, all these
things that we have to incorporate in our

289
00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.359
life. And Bill, I know
what the church looks like today. We're

290
00:20:03.400 --> 00:20:10.200
soft or entitled, We're hungry for
money, we're hungry for success. I

291
00:20:10.240 --> 00:20:14.519
look at social media. I think, what's happened to the church. We've

292
00:20:14.559 --> 00:20:18.599
got to come to a place of
understanding, getting back to that still small

293
00:20:18.720 --> 00:20:25.640
voice of God. Exactly repentance.
Well, this is where Tammy, the

294
00:20:25.680 --> 00:20:30.559
Book of Revelations, in the early
chapters come into play. As Jesus went

295
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.200
through the lamp stands and he was
a judging the church, the condition of

296
00:20:36.240 --> 00:20:41.200
the church, and that is so
appropriate today to your point, and in

297
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:48.200
my admonishment to the churches and the
leadership is that you reread that chapter specifically

298
00:20:48.759 --> 00:20:55.039
and determine where are you, what
lampstand do you represent? You know,

299
00:20:55.720 --> 00:21:00.119
in today's world. And because you
know there there is time to change,

300
00:21:00.160 --> 00:21:03.000
you know, thank God, you
know that we are here, that we

301
00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:10.720
can still respond to the admonishment of
Second Chronicles seven fourteen. If if you

302
00:21:10.759 --> 00:21:14.720
know, if you're considered, if
you consider yourself, you know God's people

303
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:18.559
okay, yeah, that are called
by his name, then you can still

304
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.839
make a choice today, right right? Well amen, amen, and we

305
00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:27.319
see those seven churches and we have
to all look and say what shadow do

306
00:21:27.359 --> 00:21:30.680
we represent of which church? And
you know, back to what I'm saying

307
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:33.279
in this whole thing, I think
for me over the last few years,

308
00:21:33.279 --> 00:21:36.519
Bill, and I've been a believer
a lot of years. As you know

309
00:21:36.559 --> 00:21:41.799
my husband I passor church for many
many years. There is this and sometimes

310
00:21:41.839 --> 00:21:44.160
I don't mean it emotional, but
it's tender in my heart. There is

311
00:21:44.200 --> 00:21:48.440
such a desire in my heart to
see the church revived. And that's why

312
00:21:48.480 --> 00:21:52.880
these things like fasting have really moved
me. You know, I just want

313
00:21:52.920 --> 00:21:56.559
to take a moment and say this
to some of your audience. Some people

314
00:21:56.640 --> 00:22:00.000
say to me things like I mentioned
what's him I'm diabetic. I don't really

315
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:04.000
know if I can fast or I
have to eat because I low blood sugar.

316
00:22:04.279 --> 00:22:07.519
And in my book I referred all
these on my website. But if

317
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:11.039
I can just take a moment and
speak, because some people all us is

318
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.680
why they can't fast. First of
all, everyone can fast from something.

319
00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:22.079
You can fast from chips and salsa
or guacamole. You can fast from wine,

320
00:22:22.519 --> 00:22:26.680
you can sugar. There's certain things
you can fast from or may get

321
00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:29.680
simple. Let me just say to
those who have never fast, before you

322
00:22:29.720 --> 00:22:33.119
get fast, just breakfast, Just
start and say I'm going to go for

323
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.359
twenty one days and not eat breakfast
and then have a morning meal. Excuse

324
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:41.039
me, I have your lunch at
noon, or if you're diabetic, you

325
00:22:41.039 --> 00:22:45.039
can have juice for breakfast and then
don't eat anything. What you're trying to

326
00:22:45.079 --> 00:22:48.279
do, my friend, is you're
just trying to offer this to God.

327
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.640
Start small, and be successful in
your first fast, and go to your

328
00:22:52.680 --> 00:22:55.680
next fast and your next fast.
But what you want to do is you

329
00:22:55.720 --> 00:23:00.279
want to show the enemy that you're
serious with the things of God. So

330
00:23:00.400 --> 00:23:02.880
you say, Lord, I'm going
to enter into this twenty one day fast

331
00:23:02.880 --> 00:23:04.559
with Tammy. I'm going to do
a corporate fast for twenty one days,

332
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:10.319
and I'm not going to eat from
sun up till noon, and I'll have

333
00:23:10.400 --> 00:23:12.039
juice. I'm diabetic, because I
don't want you to ever do anything that's

334
00:23:12.039 --> 00:23:15.960
going to harm your body exactly.
But what you're going to do then is

335
00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:18.920
you're going to offer those first morning
hours to the Lord in prayer. And

336
00:23:18.960 --> 00:23:22.079
when you want that piece of toast
or that egg or that muffin, you're

337
00:23:22.079 --> 00:23:26.160
going to say no, I'm not
going to have that for twenty one days.

338
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:27.640
Because what I'm going to do is, I'm going to offer this to

339
00:23:27.720 --> 00:23:30.640
God. I'm going to go through
these twenty one days with Tim. I'm

340
00:23:30.640 --> 00:23:33.759
going to get her book. I'm
going to fast for a change for twenty

341
00:23:33.759 --> 00:23:37.559
one days. She's going to walk
me through this. I'm going to offer

342
00:23:37.599 --> 00:23:41.119
these few hours every morning to God. Now, if you're like me,

343
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.559
I do a sun up to sundown
fast, so I don't eat breakfast or

344
00:23:45.640 --> 00:23:48.519
lunch, and then my husband and
I eat in the evening. We eat

345
00:23:48.519 --> 00:23:52.359
our meal at five o'clock. So
that's what we do for twenty one days.

346
00:23:52.559 --> 00:23:55.119
I'm not starving. It's not going
to hurt me. I get plenty

347
00:23:55.200 --> 00:24:00.240
of food. But what I'm doing
is I am tempering my flesh up,

348
00:24:00.799 --> 00:24:04.119
doing my flesh. I'm saying no
to my flesh and the desires. You

349
00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:07.640
know, don't give in to the
gratification of the flesh. So I'm showing

350
00:24:07.680 --> 00:24:11.079
myself Tammy. If I can say
no here, I can say no in

351
00:24:11.160 --> 00:24:15.160
other temptations. So it literally has
built me up, Bill. It's made

352
00:24:15.200 --> 00:24:18.880
me so strong in my faith when
the enemy comes and he tempts me with

353
00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:23.359
ungodly things, temptations, thoughts,
whatever it is. I've said, Tammy,

354
00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.160
you've learned how to say no to
food. You can say no to

355
00:24:26.200 --> 00:24:30.599
Satan in other ways. That's why
I think food fast are so important for

356
00:24:30.680 --> 00:24:34.920
us to learn. They empower us
to say no to the enemy. And

357
00:24:34.960 --> 00:24:38.440
again in my book and on my
website, I literally walk through all the

358
00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:42.200
different fast Do a juice fast,
do it Daniel fast. There are so

359
00:24:42.240 --> 00:24:47.799
many things you can do, but
start small and be successful in your first

360
00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:52.599
fast, so you'll want to do
other fast and in the journey, Tammy,

361
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:57.920
My experience has been is that you
kind of know when you've you kind

362
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:03.240
of hit the groove of fasting because
the attacks will multiply and they intensify,

363
00:25:03.640 --> 00:25:08.279
right, because the devil doesn't want
you to do this. The you know,

364
00:25:08.319 --> 00:25:12.400
the flaming arrows will be coming at
you. But this is why you

365
00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:15.960
need to war. You up with
the full armor of God right and know

366
00:25:17.079 --> 00:25:21.119
how to quench those fiery darts,
but also be encouraged. And that's the

367
00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:23.200
thing. I use that as encouragement
the attack and I go, oh,

368
00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.519
you know, thank you Satan.
You just reminded me, you know of

369
00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.480
what I'm doing, you know,
and why I'm doing this, And so

370
00:25:32.160 --> 00:25:34.559
again we can be thankful in all
things. And that's another way in which

371
00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.160
we can well. And we never
want to scare people going walfy fast.

372
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:41.119
It's going to be you know,
the enemy is going to be on my

373
00:25:41.160 --> 00:25:42.880
tail. Well, I want to
say, if you fast, you're going

374
00:25:42.960 --> 00:25:47.319
to have power from on high.
Yeah, you may have temptations. Of

375
00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:51.440
course, we remember it in Matthew
four when Jesus was fasting for forty days.

376
00:25:51.480 --> 00:25:53.839
That's when Satan came and he tempted
them. We know Moses on the

377
00:25:53.839 --> 00:25:59.000
mountain fasted for forty days, and
you know he had all kinds of things

378
00:25:59.000 --> 00:26:03.799
that he was dealing with. Elijah
faster for forty days after Jezebel, and

379
00:26:03.839 --> 00:26:07.559
then God brought him into really his
next assignment. So we understand so many

380
00:26:07.599 --> 00:26:11.079
times that we see these great men
and women of God fast. So I

381
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:15.000
want to say to you, don't
fear the enemy's arrows when he comes at

382
00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:18.640
you at a fast. Look and
say, Satan, you're a liar.

383
00:26:18.920 --> 00:26:22.119
You have no authority over me.
Greater is he that is in me than

384
00:26:22.119 --> 00:26:25.400
he that is in the world.
I am a conqueror. Through Christ Jesus,

385
00:26:25.480 --> 00:26:27.319
I am a victor. Do you
see how I literally have learned to

386
00:26:27.440 --> 00:26:33.519
speak back to Satan. Jesus spoke
to Satan and Matthew for and Luke for

387
00:26:33.240 --> 00:26:37.960
get thee behind me. He quoted
the word of God. This is how

388
00:26:37.039 --> 00:26:41.000
you learn to battle the enemy.
So when you're dealing with that pornography that

389
00:26:41.039 --> 00:26:45.119
pops up, that temptation that comes
that alcohol that comes up, that anger

390
00:26:45.160 --> 00:26:49.160
that comes up, that defeat that
comes up, that anxiety that comes up,

391
00:26:49.480 --> 00:26:52.319
whatever the enemy is trying to bring
to you, you learn to say,

392
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.960
Satan, you are a liar.
You have no authority over me,

393
00:26:56.279 --> 00:27:00.920
and you have to understand the power
that's in you. You know that you

394
00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:04.000
are equipped to be more than a
conqueror. Because what happens is we live

395
00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:08.759
in what we think is this dualistic
society that Satan and God have the same

396
00:27:08.839 --> 00:27:12.039
power and it's just whoever we give
our attention to. That is not true,

397
00:27:12.039 --> 00:27:17.240
my friend, We don't live in
a dualistic society. Satan does not

398
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:19.960
have the same power as God.
You say, get thee behind me.

399
00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.480
All power is in you, All
authority is in you. So don't go

400
00:27:23.519 --> 00:27:27.160
into a fast fearing that the enemy's
going to come after you. Go into

401
00:27:27.200 --> 00:27:30.759
the fast believing that you're going to
have your breakthrough and God's got so much

402
00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:34.720
more for you. Yeah. Amen, Stronger is he that is in you

403
00:27:34.839 --> 00:27:38.680
than he in the world. We're
talking with Tammy Hodson Peller, dynamic author,

404
00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:42.640
speaker, life coach, prayer warrior, leader of a national women's movement,

405
00:27:44.200 --> 00:27:49.400
and of course co pastor of influenced
Church of Anaheim Hills, California.

406
00:27:49.720 --> 00:27:56.279
Tammy, you have fasting has become
a lifestyle. You've experienced this in so

407
00:27:56.400 --> 00:28:03.319
many ways, and the testimonies even
from the last series from people that were

408
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:08.319
able to bring down strongholds and realize, you know, the positive benefits of

409
00:28:08.400 --> 00:28:12.319
fasting and how that's been incorporated in
their life. Can you share some of

410
00:28:12.359 --> 00:28:15.599
the stories with us please, You
know, we've had so many as you

411
00:28:15.640 --> 00:28:19.759
know, Bill, I've done your
shell numerous times. But the thing I

412
00:28:19.839 --> 00:28:26.079
see the most of personally is cancer
that's gone and women that cannot conceive that

413
00:28:26.160 --> 00:28:30.359
become pregnant, and honestly, those
yeah, you guys, you guys had

414
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:37.119
a bumper crop last year. We
have and honestly, not just baby be.

415
00:28:37.279 --> 00:28:38.559
I mean, we just had a
baby dedication that we couldn't get them

416
00:28:38.559 --> 00:28:41.240
all on the stage. But I
can't tell you how many of those women

417
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:45.920
could not conceive and went to our
prayer wall. We'll mention this. We

418
00:28:45.960 --> 00:28:48.599
have a prayer wall at our church
Incomes Church here in Anaheim, and we

419
00:28:48.799 --> 00:28:53.119
literally activate our faith both with and
I remember what Jesus said, prayer and

420
00:28:53.160 --> 00:28:57.519
fasting. So often, your fast
is your prayer, but don't forget to

421
00:28:57.640 --> 00:29:03.279
talk to him, communicate with him, to write things down, to look

422
00:29:03.319 --> 00:29:06.480
at it. In my book,
there's a lot of journaling, and I

423
00:29:06.559 --> 00:29:10.480
give you coaching tips, and I
give you all kinds of discussion questions,

424
00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:14.680
but activate that write it down.
So again, we've seen so much cancer

425
00:29:14.759 --> 00:29:18.160
gone. We've seen so many people
that have started businesses. As you know

426
00:29:18.200 --> 00:29:22.119
here at our church, my husband
are both entrepreneurs. We've seen people through

427
00:29:22.119 --> 00:29:26.000
the last three years. As we
know, our economy is hurting tremendously right

428
00:29:26.039 --> 00:29:30.519
now, and we've seen people that
have lost their jobs that we've coached and

429
00:29:30.559 --> 00:29:34.480
we just helped them recreate themselves and
start businesses. So many businesses, I

430
00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:38.319
will tell you here at Influence Church, financially we're stronger than we've ever been

431
00:29:38.680 --> 00:29:44.359
because God is just bringing favor to
businesses and business owners in our church.

432
00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.640
So it's not always just an illness
that you need. It sometimes is a

433
00:29:48.720 --> 00:29:52.559
breakthrough with a job. Sometimes,
honestly, we've seen so many prodigal kids

434
00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:56.920
come back, so many parents who
thought their kids were gone. We've seen

435
00:29:56.920 --> 00:30:00.880
I'm going to go ahead and say
it, we've seen parents these children were

436
00:30:00.960 --> 00:30:04.559
really struggling with their sexual identity,
not knowing who they were, and we

437
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:08.759
began to pray and fast over that
these children would understand their identity, who

438
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:12.279
they were created to be in the
womb, who God called them to be

439
00:30:12.319 --> 00:30:15.599
in the womb. And so we've
seen so many young kids come into their

440
00:30:15.640 --> 00:30:22.720
identity over and over and over,
miracle story, through fasting and prayer.

441
00:30:22.200 --> 00:30:27.000
Tammy, think about it. You
just touched on something that has impacted our

442
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:34.279
culture so dramatically. Could you imagine
if the churches came together with that mindset

443
00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:41.119
and understanding, we would crush this
evil spirit that has been given place right

444
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:47.039
right absolutely well to your point,
the church needs to rally. You know,

445
00:30:47.440 --> 00:30:51.720
I've said this on your show before, and we are not in competition

446
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:55.039
with any other church I don't pass
a church and go wow, wonder how

447
00:30:55.039 --> 00:30:59.880
many people attend there? And the
Holy Spirit led me many years ago.

448
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:02.720
Every time I go buy a church, I lift my hand over that church

449
00:31:02.759 --> 00:31:06.880
and I say, if that is
a Bible believing evangelical church, that it

450
00:31:06.960 --> 00:31:10.119
is sharing the gospel. I pray
I bless it in Jesus' name. Because

451
00:31:10.400 --> 00:31:14.720
we can't be competition with one another. We must come together. We must

452
00:31:14.759 --> 00:31:18.000
unify. Now. Of course,
that's what revival is when he revives the

453
00:31:18.039 --> 00:31:19.960
Saints, when he wakes us up
and he unifies us and he brings us

454
00:31:19.960 --> 00:31:25.759
together. But we have this competitive
spirit today and we have to break that

455
00:31:25.880 --> 00:31:29.759
off. We have to really pray. And you mentioned when you introduced me

456
00:31:29.799 --> 00:31:33.519
that I'm a prayer warrior, one
thing I do every single day. Right

457
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.240
before I jumped on this show,
I was out on my prayer walk and

458
00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:41.359
I literally pray when I pass churches
and homes and God, just wake up

459
00:31:41.400 --> 00:31:45.000
and bring revival to your church.
Wake up and bring revival to these homes.

460
00:31:45.559 --> 00:31:48.759
Wake your children up. That's what
we've got to see to see this

461
00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:53.799
corporate revival in our country, in
our nation. Exactly, Tammy hots and

462
00:31:53.839 --> 00:31:56.640
Pillar is with us. We're talking
about our new book, Fasting for a

463
00:31:56.720 --> 00:32:01.400
Change, a twenty one day journey
of discovering who God created you to be.

464
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:07.599
The book when is the official release
of the book, Tammy actually just

465
00:32:07.640 --> 00:32:10.720
comes out you can get on Amazon
now. Was released this week. I

466
00:32:10.759 --> 00:32:16.839
believe we actually, we actually will
have our fast starting corporately on January twenty

467
00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:21.720
first, so everyone can join me. And again my website right there.

468
00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.279
My name just Tammyhtsonpillar dot com.
And as you know, Bill, I

469
00:32:24.359 --> 00:32:29.039
do morning coaching videos. So for
twenty one days, I will be your

470
00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.200
personal life coach, free of charge
and just to hold you accountable to these

471
00:32:32.279 --> 00:32:37.160
twenty one days of fasting. So
we're going to be fasting for things like

472
00:32:37.319 --> 00:32:40.440
loyalty. We're going to talk about
determination, We're going to be talking about

473
00:32:43.200 --> 00:32:46.519
commitment. We're going to be twenty
one days of just really things. God

474
00:32:46.640 --> 00:32:52.799
is late on my heart that we
personally need change in our life. And

475
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:54.920
then, as I've mentioned to everyone, we all have our own personal things

476
00:32:54.920 --> 00:32:59.960
we know we need change maybe in
our homes and our families and our children,

477
00:33:00.359 --> 00:33:05.039
in our finances. So we're going
to really be fasting for breakthrough and

478
00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.279
for change in our life. Can
you unwrap that a little bit more?

479
00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:12.279
And maybe let's just talk about the
first two days. What can we expect

480
00:33:12.319 --> 00:33:15.480
in the first two days of the
twenty one day journey. Well, the

481
00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:17.279
first day we're going to be talking
together. We're going to talk about fasting

482
00:33:17.599 --> 00:33:22.960
for confidence. And I love this
one because I started in Genesis and this

483
00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.640
is we've alluded to this, So
this is great. Bill. I talk

484
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:29.799
about how God made us in his
image with confidence. Do you know that

485
00:33:29.920 --> 00:33:34.599
Adam and Eve were confident in the
garden of Eden. They had all confidence

486
00:33:34.680 --> 00:33:38.119
in everything because God had given them
everything. And it wasn't until the enemy

487
00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:43.440
came and lied to them and said
he showed them a tree that God did

488
00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:45.559
not want them to go to.
And let's talk about this. Why would

489
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:50.720
God try to keep them from the
Tree of the knowledge of good and evil?

490
00:33:51.400 --> 00:33:53.359
Because He did not want them to
ever have to deal with good and

491
00:33:53.400 --> 00:33:58.319
evil. He didn't want them to
have to choose good from evil. He

492
00:33:58.359 --> 00:34:02.200
wanted them to live in confidence and
abundance and victory. But he gave them,

493
00:34:02.240 --> 00:34:06.680
like he does every one of us, a free will. And once

494
00:34:06.720 --> 00:34:12.920
they chose from that tree, all
confidence broke down and Satan came and he

495
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.519
began to lie to them. Did
God really say? And so he will

496
00:34:16.559 --> 00:34:21.960
try to break down your confidence.
That's where he starts. But we again,

497
00:34:22.280 --> 00:34:23.599
like we said, are made in
the image of God. So day

498
00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:29.679
one is fasting for confidence, the
confidence that God wants you to know who

499
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:32.119
you are as a child of God. So I'll walk you through that day,

500
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:36.599
give you some coaching tools, some
steps. I will have some journal

501
00:34:36.760 --> 00:34:40.000
entries, some discussion questions. So
for that day we start with fasting for

502
00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:45.320
confidence. Yeah, I like that
who you are and who you are right

503
00:34:45.760 --> 00:34:50.719
absolutely men. And then what I
do Bill is I take a biblical character

504
00:34:51.159 --> 00:34:53.079
with every one of these and the
twenty one days, So it'll be Adam

505
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:58.119
and Eve in the first day,
and then day two is determination fasting for

506
00:34:58.159 --> 00:35:01.199
determination, and I talk about Nemi
yuh. So literally for twenty one days

507
00:35:01.239 --> 00:35:06.519
we'll have a topic and then I
give you a biblical character who gives us

508
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:10.599
a great example of patients would be
job, the job of patients of job.

509
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:15.400
But for twenty one days we're literally
going to walk through characteristics so that

510
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:20.079
we literally in our spirit can grow
and be who God called us to be.

511
00:35:21.159 --> 00:35:23.360
So what do you say tom to
you know, people who have never

512
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:27.599
fasted before. You know, they're
listening to they're watching this thing and say,

513
00:35:27.599 --> 00:35:30.840
wow, this really makes sense.
I'm going to really purpose in my

514
00:35:31.000 --> 00:35:35.239
heart. This is going to be, you know, more than a New

515
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:37.719
Year's resolution. This is going to
be a gift, because this really is

516
00:35:37.719 --> 00:35:40.440
a gift, isn't it. Yeah, well, you know what, It's

517
00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:45.079
a choice because it's a spiritual discipline. And I like to tell people it's

518
00:35:45.079 --> 00:35:47.199
an offering that you're bringing to God. You know, we bring him an

519
00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.039
offering of our prayer, we bring
him an offering of our resources, but

520
00:35:52.119 --> 00:35:54.360
did you know you can bring him
an offering of your fast. And so

521
00:35:54.559 --> 00:35:58.599
literally what you're doing is you're saying
to him, Father, I'm giving you

522
00:35:59.519 --> 00:36:02.960
this break time, this afternoon time
I'm bringing I'm giving you my food,

523
00:36:04.440 --> 00:36:09.400
and I'm offering that to you in
exchange for my faith. I'm offering this

524
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:14.760
fast because I'm asking you to do
something. I'm asking you to grow me

525
00:36:14.880 --> 00:36:20.360
up, mature me, answer my
request, meet me spiritually. And when

526
00:36:20.360 --> 00:36:22.800
I talk about this change, of
course, as I mentioned, I really

527
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.199
thought about our country when I wrote
the book. But because I deal with

528
00:36:25.280 --> 00:36:28.719
so many people in the church,
and I coach so many people, I

529
00:36:28.760 --> 00:36:31.760
realize we all need to change.
Bill. That's the truth exactly. We

530
00:36:31.840 --> 00:36:38.159
all have areas of weakness and immaturity, areas we justified bad behavior, every

531
00:36:38.159 --> 00:36:42.679
one of us. Because we're human. We have those elements in our life.

532
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.320
So if we'll get serious with God, and again, I want your

533
00:36:45.360 --> 00:36:51.639
audience to understand that fasting is biblical
and it's taught and literally it's expected.

534
00:36:52.519 --> 00:36:54.559
Let me just make reference. Do
you remember when the disciples of John the

535
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:59.760
Baptist came and they said to Jesus, how come your disciples aren't fasting like

536
00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.280
we are? And Jesus said,
there is a time to fast, but

537
00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:07.800
right now the bridegroom is here.
You don't ever fast during a wedding.

538
00:37:07.159 --> 00:37:12.039
Right in a wedding, we're celebrating, we're having a great time enjoing the

539
00:37:12.079 --> 00:37:15.159
food. But when the wedding is
over, you will fast again. And

540
00:37:15.280 --> 00:37:19.719
Jesus was saying, here, I
am the bridegroom, so you're not going

541
00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.119
to fast while I'm here, but
there will be a time again when you

542
00:37:22.239 --> 00:37:27.599
fast when I'm gone. So there's
times over and over that Jesus is saying,

543
00:37:27.679 --> 00:37:31.199
you're supposed to fast, and look
who wants to fast. We all

544
00:37:31.239 --> 00:37:35.239
want to eat, We all enjoy
food. We live in a day and

545
00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:39.320
age where food is everything. So
it literally is a sacrifice. It's an

546
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:45.400
offering. It's giving something to God
to teach you something about God. You

547
00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:51.599
know, you mentioned faith him and
I was last week studying in the Book

548
00:37:51.639 --> 00:37:55.119
of Hebrews. In the fifth chapter, the final verse about it was,

549
00:37:55.960 --> 00:38:00.079
you know, I felt like the
Apostle was wanting to Rabbits by the shoulders

550
00:38:00.119 --> 00:38:05.400
and say, grow up, you
need to mature because where we are right

551
00:38:05.440 --> 00:38:09.320
now and looking at the condition of
our society today, we have you know,

552
00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:14.639
getting back to what happened in the
garden, is that we're not discerning

553
00:38:14.719 --> 00:38:17.400
good from evil very well. I
mean, look at what's happening right now

554
00:38:17.440 --> 00:38:22.320
with Israel. The situation's happening here
in the streets of America. People are

555
00:38:22.360 --> 00:38:28.079
not discerning the difference between good and
evil. And I saw this kind of

556
00:38:28.760 --> 00:38:31.519
this going hand in hand and what
we're talking about today in terms of fasting,

557
00:38:32.039 --> 00:38:39.039
this is a movement of maturity where
we will mature by faith in our

558
00:38:39.119 --> 00:38:44.880
walk with God so that we would
be better at discerning good and evil,

559
00:38:44.960 --> 00:38:50.320
because we're told in the last days
that we will not be very good at

560
00:38:50.360 --> 00:38:53.320
discerning good from evil, that that
which is called evil will be called good,

561
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:58.199
that which is good will be called
evil. And we're seeing that represented

562
00:38:58.320 --> 00:39:01.760
and that demonstrated in the and now
are we not absolutely well? We know

563
00:39:01.840 --> 00:39:05.480
one of the things the Word tells
us in the last days, some will

564
00:39:05.480 --> 00:39:09.920
depart from the faith, giving heed
to seducing spirits and doctrines of evil.

565
00:39:10.360 --> 00:39:15.360
And the Bible also tells us well
in those days when they call evil good

566
00:39:15.920 --> 00:39:19.400
and good evil. And so we
see that, and to your point,

567
00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:23.320
it is on us to spiritually mature. Yes, no one can food feed

568
00:39:23.400 --> 00:39:27.679
me. I mean, I am
under the greatest teacher. On Sunday mornings,

569
00:39:27.760 --> 00:39:30.360
my husband shout out he is the
greatest teacher of doctrine and the Word

570
00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:35.800
of God. But I have to
listen. I have to have ears to

571
00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.280
listen, and then I have to
put into practice. I have to get

572
00:39:38.360 --> 00:39:40.880
up in the morning and have my
prayer time. I have to have my

573
00:39:42.320 --> 00:39:45.599
reading of the Word. You know, I this week went through a little

574
00:39:45.639 --> 00:39:49.519
setback personally, just kind of sharing
with your audience, and was taken by

575
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:53.000
surprise and something that happened that that
hurt me deeply, and just it was

576
00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:57.920
something that happened in our family and
one of my grandchildren just a will set

577
00:39:57.920 --> 00:40:00.000
back with one of them, and
I just had and to pray, and

578
00:40:00.039 --> 00:40:04.760
I had to be able to pray
for supernatural healing in that little baby's life.

579
00:40:04.880 --> 00:40:07.119
And I was like, God,
where are you? God, where

580
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:09.840
are you? And I'm struggling right
now, where are you? And it's

581
00:40:10.280 --> 00:40:15.440
interesting, Bill, in full disclosure, it doesn't matter how close you are

582
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:19.480
to God. We're all going to
go through periods where we're like, God,

583
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.519
where are you? But I will
tell you in the midst of this

584
00:40:22.639 --> 00:40:27.480
week, getting back deep into the
Word of God, praying and fasting and

585
00:40:27.519 --> 00:40:30.239
going on my walks with God.
There is no one else to turn to

586
00:40:30.519 --> 00:40:35.559
but God. And that's what spiritual
growth is all about. If I didn't

587
00:40:35.559 --> 00:40:39.159
have a foundation in my faith,
if I didn't have a deep root system,

588
00:40:39.519 --> 00:40:44.239
I could have been one who would
depart from the faith. And that's

589
00:40:44.239 --> 00:40:47.360
what we're seeing Christians departing from the
faith because they don't have a deep root

590
00:40:47.400 --> 00:40:51.320
system. So let me say to
you, who ever listening right now,

591
00:40:51.760 --> 00:40:55.400
no one can do it for you. You have to discipline yourself. You

592
00:40:55.480 --> 00:40:59.960
have to read the word, you
have to pray, you have to relationship

593
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:01.840
with God. You've got to talk
to him, you have to fast,

594
00:41:01.920 --> 00:41:05.920
have to do these things because have
you ever looked at someone that has a

595
00:41:05.960 --> 00:41:08.719
beautiful relationship with God and say I
wish I had that? Well, it

596
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:15.960
didn't just come. They developed it
through maturity, through desire, through discipline.

597
00:41:15.440 --> 00:41:19.400
It's on all of us to do
that well, you know, and

598
00:41:19.440 --> 00:41:24.400
you read stories of people that you
would consider you know, holy and saints,

599
00:41:24.639 --> 00:41:29.920
you know, by human measure.
I think of Mother Teresa for example,

600
00:41:30.320 --> 00:41:32.480
and she went through a dark spell
in her life where you know,

601
00:41:32.599 --> 00:41:38.039
she felt like okay, but it
was faith that carried her through because,

602
00:41:38.119 --> 00:41:43.199
like you said, when it comes
down to it, who are you going

603
00:41:43.239 --> 00:41:45.239
to believe? Who were you going
to hang on to? You know,

604
00:41:45.760 --> 00:41:50.239
I think in my journey many times, you know, I have friends say

605
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.639
how you doing. I say,
I'm hanging on to the edge of Jesus

606
00:41:52.639 --> 00:41:55.840
garment. There you go, He's
dragged me, you know, yeah,

607
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:01.960
And I'm okay. I mean I'm
okay with that, and I'm okay with

608
00:42:02.079 --> 00:42:07.960
being that vulnerable and honest about it, because that was a big turn for

609
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.320
me in my prayer life, Timmy, when I realized that I could be

610
00:42:10.360 --> 00:42:15.920
honest with God because I'd gone through
a season where I went through the refiner's

611
00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.920
fire and it was painful, and
it got to a point, Tommy,

612
00:42:19.000 --> 00:42:22.480
for about six months, I couldn't
pray the Lord's prayer, and that's my

613
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:24.920
favorite prayer. And when I would
get to that point of you know,

614
00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.480
thy kingdom come, thy will be
done, I had to tell Gods to

615
00:42:28.559 --> 00:42:31.519
God, I've had enough of your
kingdom right now? Yeah, can I

616
00:42:31.760 --> 00:42:35.840
you know, I'll be honest with
you and I and I thought for sure

617
00:42:35.880 --> 00:42:37.159
there was going to be a bolt
of lightning and I was just going to

618
00:42:37.199 --> 00:42:40.119
be, you know, just a
bit of call on the road or something,

619
00:42:40.239 --> 00:42:45.119
you know. But at that moment, I felt my prayer life and

620
00:42:45.159 --> 00:42:52.440
my relationship with God went through a
new dimension because I could be honest and

621
00:42:52.519 --> 00:42:57.480
say this is what this this sucks? You know, yeah, well,

622
00:42:57.519 --> 00:43:00.000
you know I love it. The
scripture that says the goodness of the Lord

623
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:04.400
compels us. And even in the
midst of as I just shared something that

624
00:43:04.440 --> 00:43:06.400
happened, I'm like, God,
where are you? And all of this

625
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.000
His love surrounds us and so for
those of you who might be bitter right

626
00:43:10.039 --> 00:43:15.400
now or broken or angry at questioning
God, he can handle it, first

627
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.719
of all. But don't stop talking
to him, because the more you pursue

628
00:43:19.800 --> 00:43:22.559
him in conversation. And sometimes I
like to say this, I've say in

629
00:43:22.599 --> 00:43:27.239
a lot of my coaching videos.
We have to be still and know that

630
00:43:27.280 --> 00:43:30.880
he's God, because he wants to
minister to us, and he will at

631
00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:36.239
times just whisper. He wants to
whisper. And so for me, I

632
00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:38.079
I get up in the morning,
I'm like, God, this one hurts.

633
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:42.519
Where are you? I need you? If I will be still,

634
00:43:42.639 --> 00:43:45.239
the goodness of the Lord compels me. And you know there's nowhere else to

635
00:43:45.280 --> 00:43:49.760
go. You can turn away from
God, but you'll find yourself turning right

636
00:43:49.800 --> 00:43:52.320
back to Him because there is no
one else to go to. And again,

637
00:43:52.400 --> 00:43:57.760
I believe that my fasting has sharpened
me. It's taught me how to

638
00:43:57.800 --> 00:44:01.159
literally hear him, to see him, to believe him. Now, I'm

639
00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:06.199
one of those believers who believe in
the evidence, and I believe the evidence

640
00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:09.440
is seen. Sometimes I have to
just see the sunrise and the sunset to

641
00:44:09.440 --> 00:44:13.840
see the goodness of the Word.
But I call on that, I call

642
00:44:13.880 --> 00:44:17.920
on the scripture. I believe it. I don't you know. I might

643
00:44:17.960 --> 00:44:21.760
have a moment of doubt. I'll
be honest with you at times, but

644
00:44:22.079 --> 00:44:27.400
it doesn't stay. I don't stay
there because God is a good God,

645
00:44:27.960 --> 00:44:30.719
and a lot of times if I
do, go through the refiner's fires,

646
00:44:30.760 --> 00:44:32.719
because you know, there's so much
gold in me. There's so much gold

647
00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.840
in me, said Tammy, there's
so much in you. Yeah, I

648
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:37.679
got to get the dross off and
it doesn't feel good. And I'm saying

649
00:44:37.679 --> 00:44:40.239
to someone who's listening right now,
Yeah, they're saying, yeah, Tammy,

650
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:44.920
listen to you. I'm telling you
just stay the course. Stay the

651
00:44:44.960 --> 00:44:46.599
course, my friend. I'm going
to challenge you to go on this fast

652
00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:50.039
with me, and I'd love to
hear from you. Let me just throw

653
00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:52.920
this out right now. You can
email me at Tammy hootsonpillar dot com.

654
00:44:53.159 --> 00:44:58.039
I return those emails and just tell
me your story, and I will pray

655
00:44:58.079 --> 00:45:00.039
with you and I will put a
prayer requestion on wall for you. But,

656
00:45:00.119 --> 00:45:06.079
my friend, surround yourself with believers. Surround yourself with people to hold

657
00:45:06.079 --> 00:45:09.159
you accountable. Put people when you
can't hear God's voice. Put people in

658
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:13.719
your life that will recite it to
you. Open up the word of God

659
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:16.199
and just pray it over yourself.
Pray it over yourself. So don't forget.

660
00:45:16.280 --> 00:45:22.239
Pray fast, go with God.
Read the word of God. God

661
00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.719
is there for you. Amen.
You know tell me. We were just

662
00:45:27.159 --> 00:45:31.679
talking with doctor Roley Washington and his
new book is called his title one Word,

663
00:45:32.320 --> 00:45:37.760
Okay, how to heal you know, from hurts and you know,

664
00:45:38.719 --> 00:45:43.760
conflicts in relationship, in relationships and
that he said, the one word is

665
00:45:43.840 --> 00:45:47.119
relationship. You know. To your
point is that we need to fortify ourselves.

666
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:50.360
You know, first of all,
we need to be in relationship with

667
00:45:50.400 --> 00:45:52.480
God. We need to have that
vertical relationship because you can't give what you

668
00:45:52.480 --> 00:45:58.519
don't what you don't have. You
know, it's God that dispenses his grace,

669
00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:02.760
his mercy, his life through us
and out of that outpouring. And

670
00:46:02.840 --> 00:46:06.559
it isn't outpouring, it's not that
we hold on to it. It just

671
00:46:06.559 --> 00:46:12.679
flows through us. And what flows
through us is what builds that that horizontal

672
00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:16.840
relationship with people. And it's so
important because we need each other. Right

673
00:46:17.719 --> 00:46:21.400
amen. Amen, Well, you
know that's a good word. Of course,

674
00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.559
we know that's a beautiful picture of
the cross. It's our relationship with

675
00:46:23.679 --> 00:46:28.400
Christ and then a relationship with mankind. And we can't have a relationship with

676
00:46:28.440 --> 00:46:30.280
mankind if we don't have a relationship
with Christ, not a healthy one at

677
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:35.639
least, And so that is a
beautiful, beautiful picture. But again I

678
00:46:35.679 --> 00:46:39.159
want to just encourage your audience just
to stop and ask you know, to

679
00:46:39.199 --> 00:46:43.360
your point what you talked about a
relationship. I mean, my relationship with

680
00:46:43.440 --> 00:46:47.159
God is first and foremost, and
I've had to develop that over the years.

681
00:46:47.639 --> 00:46:51.320
And I have a great relationship with
my husband. I have a great

682
00:46:51.320 --> 00:46:54.960
relationship with my children and my grandchildren. I've got great girlfriends, but none

683
00:46:54.960 --> 00:46:59.760
of that can compare to the relationship
that I have with Christ. And if

684
00:46:59.800 --> 00:47:02.079
you fear him, or you're angry
at him, or you doubt him,

685
00:47:02.599 --> 00:47:07.320
again, be truthful enough to at
least call out to him and try to

686
00:47:07.360 --> 00:47:10.519
build that relationship. How do you
build a relationship with a spouse. You

687
00:47:10.599 --> 00:47:14.440
talk to them, you do things
with them, you interact with them,

688
00:47:14.880 --> 00:47:17.920
you don't avoid them. Well,
you can't avoid God. You have to

689
00:47:17.960 --> 00:47:23.440
pursue God, and when that happens, you'll definitely build a relationship with him.

690
00:47:24.039 --> 00:47:28.239
Well, Tamman. We got about
two minutes left here, and again

691
00:47:28.320 --> 00:47:31.960
I want you to remind everybody again

appreciate you and look forward to your audience

713
00:48:55.880 --> 00:49:00.199
joining us on this fast. Tammy
bless us and close us in prayer.

714
00:49:00.239 --> 00:49:05.639
Would you please, Father, God, we come to you corporately asking for

715
00:49:05.840 --> 00:49:09.199
revival. Father, we do it
both in humility and in faith. Father,

716
00:49:09.239 --> 00:49:13.119
we know we need some course correction
as a nation. We know that

717
00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:15.760
we need to get on our knees
and we need to seek you and you

718
00:49:15.840 --> 00:49:19.159
alone. God. I know that
we are in the midst of both a

719
00:49:19.239 --> 00:49:23.079
crisis, a recession, a broken
nation, and so Father, we just

720
00:49:23.119 --> 00:49:25.840
pray that you would do what only
you can do. You are a a

721
00:49:25.960 --> 00:49:30.679
father, You are our good,
good Father. So we pray for a

722
00:49:30.719 --> 00:49:34.800
revival. We pray that Father,
we'd be obedient where you tell us to

723
00:49:34.880 --> 00:49:37.119
be. And God I just pray
that as people are really listening right now,

724
00:49:37.159 --> 00:49:42.119
that we would join together personally on
this fast and the Father, we

725
00:49:42.159 --> 00:49:45.880
would activate our faith, that we
would see you do supernatural things in our

726
00:49:45.920 --> 00:49:51.079
lives and in our homes. We
thank you for what you're doing in Jesus'

727
00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:54.320
