So, my name is Noreen Sumpter. I'm originally from London, but I live in New York City. So, I'm coming from New York City. What was I expecting God to do for me? Everything. How can I help you? What do you mean you want to learn how to pray? I want to learn how to pray because if I learn how to pray, I can pray for other people. I can pray with other people. It's we're a whole experience, right? So, I stopped thinking about what I needed and wanted, and I just asked to pray.
And I think that's the best thing that I could have ever done. You are new Christian? I'M BRAND NEW. I'M A BABY. COME. COME. COME. And when he said, "Come on up." When he said, "Come on up." And he said, "Run. Run. Run. Run. Run." I was like, "Hey, let's let's get it on." Hallelujah.
And I was like, "Oh my god." Cuz I was completely blown away and shocked that he had literally chosen me. You know, I became a Christian and it says in the Bible the part that says, "Love me with all your heart, your soul, and your mind." And I'm like, "What's that?" You know? Cuz I'm like this nebulous thing.
You're going to have to teach me. You're going to have to show me. I'm going to have to feel, taste, and touch you.
Prophet Lovy, you are a blessing to this world. Your teaching is incredible. It's impeccable. Oh my god, you just brought the word to life for me. Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit.
Help me to pray. Help me to pray.
Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit.
Teach me how to pray.
Look at me. Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for being obedient for all these years. Father, rest on her.
There's no one like you, and I honor that you always say nothing comes from me. It all comes from God, and it comes through you, and
that to me is just such a gift.
Give me oil. You will pray by the spirit.
Not according to the flesh, but according to the spirit. Father God, thank you so much. You brought me to Revelation Church. You called me to Prophet Lovy. I was not looking to become a Christian, and I answered, and it is one of the best things that I've ever done in my life. Uh-huh. I just want to say, "Thank you, God." Oh my god, I can't even thank you enough.
There's no words. There is no words. Thank you. Thank you. And 100 times thank you.
