Become a woman of influence by understanding how God has empowered and equipped you to become all He has created you to be. Listen each week as Tammy Hotsenpiller coaches and educates women to skip the drama and jump into the future.
Jane was a teacher for 25 years. Tammy asked her, “When did you begin to see the teachers begin to have an agenda?” Jane said the last decade. Jane was on the curriculum council. She saw what was woke. The Holy Spirit prompted Jane to prepare her for Covid 19 for her students. Today in California , AB 1314 tried to bring it to the House. If a child wants to be called a different gender and they need to tell parents but they scraped the bill from the floor. Jane took a stand with her conviction in the school. Jane resigned from 25 years in public school and now is with Influence Learning Center. This is a place that is God-centered. Everything is taught through a biblical perspective. They have incredible electives. The enemy is trying to take out your children so check out your kids school agenda.
This is a supernatural story. In 2004 Sagui needed a miracle for some health issues after delivering her baby. She went in and out of consciousness. There was bleeding in her brain and she slipped into a coma. She needed emergency brain surgery. They called her husband about the emergency brain surgery. James himself was going into shock over this. Friends came and they all prayed. They likened it to an Abraham Isaac moment. “God Your will be done.” God was getting to meet them in a supernatural way because they were having an encounter. You can't miss what God did. He who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Christ Jesus. God uses adversity to strengthen us. God has been there in the middle of your adversity. Don't ever stop telling your story.
For revival to come we must have forgiveness, surrender and humility. This is how we usher in His Presence. Yvonne has seen the men in our church surrendering and humbling themselves. There are 2 parts to the equation. REPENT AND CONFESS. Then we can make room for His Presence. Until you can become honest and vulnerable you will never move into His Presence. It is so freeing. Revival is being brought back to life.
Pastor Bethany Taylor understands revival. She grew up in Japan and in a very charismatic movement. (Missionaries in Japan) In her home was modeled spending time and experiences with the Lord. For the last 2 weeks there has been an awareness of repentance and humility. We haven't made room in America for God and we take it for granted. Pastor Tammy was a part of the last Jesus movement. We just had a retreat and we exhaled out our burdens. We saw a group of women keep going deeper. A family was being set free from a generational sin. If we allow the Lord to come in then He does only what He can do. How do we steward this? Ask the Lord and wait on Him. PRAY AND OBEY = FORMULA FOR REVIVAL
Does God care about America today? Justin is host on Glenn Beck's show. The U.S. ranks last in 46 countries that don't trust media. Justin's back story. 2020 was tough but still good things happening. We can look back now and see why that happened. Justin has a bent for good news. In Luke 4:43 Jesus said, “I must preach the Good News.” Where do we find good news in media today? And we need to be informed. Are we becoming a Banana Republic where dictators are dictating the outcome of elections? The truth is what people are starving for. Justin said, “We have authority! We have to occupy!” This is such a great podcast!! Don't miss it!
Floyd G. Brown is the founder of The Western Journal and author of several books, including, "Counterpunch" and "Big Tech Tyrants." America is on new territory. Floyd Brown's back story is about Jesus. His grandfather was a missionary and his parents poured scripture into him. Floyd always prayed to God that if God opens a door he will walk through it and if God closes a door he won't walk through it. At 15 years old he met Ronald Reagan. He worked on Reagan's campaign and got a job in his administration. Floyd was a full time talk show host, then ran the Reagan Ranch and now is a journalist. This is such a fascinating podcast that you will not want to miss.
DO YOU NEED A MOVE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT? Jen felt she needed to go to Asbury. So many things in her life were not restful and she felt depleted. But she felt she needed to go. She said, “I want to give Jesus a hug.” The enemy attacks more when serving the Lord. But at Asbury Jen learned she needed intimacy with Christ and giving all the attacks to Him. There are pockets where revival breaks out. It's a supernatural occurrence. When Pastor Jen got there she immediately felt the Presence of God. Everyone's worship was uninhibited. Revival come through deep humility and brokenness and repentance. The whole team came back different. When the river of revival comes you want to get in.
Pastor Allan was at the Asbury Revival. Pastor Allan said, “The simplicity of it and the dying self.” They were very sensitive to what Holy Spirit was doing. They were really surrendering themselves. How do you deny flesh? What is the difference? The simplicity and heart moment is deny yourself, lose your life and you will find it. Have self-awareness of where your heart is. How can we go low to host the Presence of God. The key is our part —— HUMILITY, CONFESSION AND REPENTANCE, then God does His part. People want the raw real gospel. They want their lives transformed. Look for a community of Jesus loving people.
Drew went to the Asbury Movement in Kentucky. His experience was so much joy and rejoicing with the GenZ'ers. They started with 19 people and at the end they asked if they could stay. Revival is a word for believers. We've been praying for a move of God. What do you think what brought it there? The Lord said, “You are not going to figure Me out.” They were hungry after God. Desire plus repentance equals revival. We have to get our hearts right. The GenZ rebelled against Covid. They just want the presence of God. No fluff. Listen to what Andrew had to say about the tools of how to stand strong with conviction…So good.
We just came out of the pandemic and had fear, confusion and dissension. Now we are seeing a move of God. How powerful God is using GenZ to bring a revival movement. II Chronicles 7:14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. There is a shift and returning of the presence of God. We have to make room for the Holy Spirit.
What a story!!! Bailey did not grow up in a Christian home. It was with a single mom but an amazing mom to Bailey. Her grandmother told her about Jesus on the way to school everyday. During Middle School Bailey was very angry at God. She didn't have a father in her life and asked why am I rejected? Her best friends were PK kids. She thought she had a really bad life and wanted normalcy like the other kids. She found out her dad got arrested. Bailey cried out to God. Then she felt God's Presence. She felt His love. Bailey started attending the same church as her grandmother. They saw something big in Bailey and she was asked to sing on the worship team. You must listen to the whole story and see the miracles in Bailey's life. Bailey also tells how to minister to the GenZ generation.
Brian was with us here in Anaheim at church with a GenZ conference. He is talking to us about revival in America. Brian has been praying for revival that it would be repentant and authentic. The kids have been so robbed in the pandemic. This is a revival for our culture. We are hungry for this and we need to get back to the purity. We hope you experience this history with your kids. We believe this movement is going deeper. God will always have His remnant. Like Israel they got too so far from God. Now the enemy has overplayed his hand during this pandemic. What is God doing through Brian? How do we become a voice in this region?
Jolynn is so knowledgeable in faith and politics. She really follows politics and cares about California. Pastor Tammy believes we are where we are today because of the leaders of the state and voters voted it this way. The enemy comes at us with dissension, confusion and a spirit of fear. We live in an environment where we need to fight back. How do we educate people? Listen to wisdom.
The responsibility of the church is to talk about politics. Neither parties are perfect. How important it is to fill out every ballot and not just President. We will not thrive as a nation until we repent and confess as a nation. We use our God-given abilities and research and knowledge. Who am I and what would I do? Who are we? We can either be part of the problem or part of the solution. I hope this stimulates you. Where are you going to be in the history books?
Angel was asking God during our fast to watch her words. Angel raises 2 girls and it is so easy to get tempted and she has struggled with controlling her tongue. Her action plans are breathing and listening to music. Tammy said, “When the student is ready the teacher will appear.” The enemy is very strategic. There is a war between principalities and powers. When we fast we are hungry for spiritual food. What should mom's do today? What conversations should you have with your kids today?
Miracle stories are what only God can do. Cynthia was fasting for her daughters. She wanted to be present with her children and husband. She fell in the shower and it made her trust God and slow down. The fast has taught her to slow down and be more present. God says, “Be still and know that I am God.” How has God gotten your attention? Cynthia said that she needs to be more present with her kids, pray with them and go to church. She sees how important it is to have conversations with her kids because of this world.
A miracle is something only God can do. We give glory to God and God alone. Today is the story of the Resurrection. Mary Magdalene had a dark past but Jesus healed her where she was. She was the first to run to the tomb. We have to have that kind of faith. When we read the bible read it for revelation. We have to have faith and hope to resurrect our dreams. Fasting focus today is Peace. Let the God of all peace and comfort resurrect your dreams. Don't ever stop believing.
The disciples have been given authority to do miracles. When Peter did miracles it was because of the power of God. We have to examine our hearts and seek the miracle worker, God. What is your maturity? God wants to set you free to speak. Fasting focus — Freedom
Is there something you are asking God for? This makes us be still. Do you struggle with food? We have authority over our body. We can meditate on His Word and worship songs. If I can say no to food I can say no to other things. Today is the multitude of the 5,000. Why do you think the disciples didn't even think of feeding them? Why did Jesus say “You go feed them?” God wants to do more. Fasting Focus: Humility — look at your heart God must always get the glory. Our fast is a sacrifice so we can exercise our faith.

This was the story of the little girl brought to Jesus. She was dead. We have dreams that seem to have died. Does God resurrect them? In the story they all laughed at Him. Jesus told them to get out of the room because of all their doubts. You let your dream die when your faith is lacking. When you hit those waves of doubt God will show up. Does God care more about your answer or the journey to get you there? God is about the process. Our fasting focus today is HEALING. Purchase a copy of Tammy's new book, Fasting For Miracles.
Pastor Nate is the lead pastor at Influence Church and is one of the kindest men you will ever meet. The story today with the disciples is about the winds and the waves. How many times have you been in a boat and have had so much fear? Has there been a time in your life where you got something and then God had to teach you all over again? Pastor Nate was on a faith journey and then there was a 10 month delay. You have to continue to trust in Jesus. With this story Jesus woke up for the disciples. When was there a place be still moment in your life? When your boat rocks, Jesus is in your boat. He says peace BE STILL! Are you ready for a faith experience. Our fasting focus today is CLARITY. When you fast you are pushing through for clarity. Purchase a copy of Tammy's new book, Fasting For Miracles. Follow Tammy and learn more about her ministry at https://www.tammyhotsenpiller.com/.
Often a miracle looks different than we think. God knows what is best for us. It's the journey with God that is so good and He may take you through a different journey. Today is the story of the paralytic. What would you have done? They thought they were just going to get a physical healing but also got a supernatural healing. What would you rather see? Someone get healed physically or spiritually? Our fasting focus is Patience. Follow Tammy and learn more about her ministry at https://www.tammyhotsenpiller.com/.

This is week 3 of the fast Miracles in the lives of Jesus and His disciples. The first miracle in the New Testament is when Jesus turned the water into wine. Why do we wait until we have a problem to come to Jesus? We think we can do it. A miracle is when we are desperate. The fasting focus today is fasting for purity. Diane's parents faithfully prayed for her to return to the Lord and here she is today. Our spiritual senses come alive when we pray and fast.
What do you need God to do that only He can do? Today is about Elisha. The story is about opening our eyes to see the supernatural. If you are struggling with fear, God can open your eyes. How would I live if I could see that army of angels. Ask, “God open my eyes so I can see.” How do you push through with problems? Sometimes we see our problems bigger than God. How do I elevate God instead? Remember God's promises in the bible. Pray and give your problems to God. We have to shift our mindset. Our fasting focus today is Grief. The story of David when he had an affair with Bathsheba. He was fasting and asking God for his baby to live. But the child died. Sometimes we question God. Don't be afraid to be honest with God and ask God why. Don't run away from God.
Courtney is the Executive Director for Women of Influence. Today we are talking about the little servant girl who had a heart for God in 2 Kings 5. How important are children to the Kingdom of God? Courtney's daughter loves God and lets her life shine for God. She has so much faith and believes in miracles. God gave Naaman a word and he had to dip 7 times in the Jordan and he had faith to be healed. Our fasting focus today is for revelation. We need to write down our testimony and show how God was faithful in our life. How do I let my life shine for God?
Fasting is a spiritual discipline along with prayer. Today is the story of the widow where she “poured and she poured.” Every miracle has to have a desperation first. You have to have an empty container or a desperation. The fasting focus today is on Good Choices.
Why don't most Christians fast today? It's not convenient and people don't like to give up food and it's not taught. Jesus said some things only happen by prayer and fasting. We are asking God for something outside of our comfort zone.
Do you believe in miracles? Do you not believe in miracles or are you not looking for them? Who do you run to first when you have a problem? The phone or the throne? This story is where it had not rained and the prophet said it was going to rain. How do you keep believing for your miracle? We need to be persistent and that grows your prayer life. If you stop being persistent you miss the miracle. Elijah says “Go look again” Our fasting focus is confession.
Jen serves at Influence Church as Pastor of missions. Service starts with your heart and the Lord calls us to do that. Today's story is the story of Elijah. The miracle story is about the widow and an orphan. Every story in the bible is a story for us to learn from. Have you ever asked God where are YOU? Jen has been there and has such great wisdom about this….It's the adversities in life that bring us closer to God or pushed away. Until we get honest with God our faith won't grow or He grows us and prunes us. The fasting passage today is in Daniel 9 and about repentance. Daniel leads them into a prayer of repentance even in captivity. When we repent we are victorious and the enemy loses.
There are dispensations in the bible of miracles. Today is Elija and Elisha. We are believing we are in today a new dispensation. This is about the widow and son that were dying of starvation and had a little bit of oil and flour. Elijah the prophet comes to her town and she provides for him. This was a faith story. God blesses obedience. How does God grow your faith? The fasting focus: Consecration. Giving everything. This is about the prophet Joel. How important is it to enter into worship or consecration?
Story of Hannah in the bible. It was very difficult for Hannah so Hannah poured out her heart to God. Drew and his wife Whitney went through a very tough time with her first pregnancy being a miscarriage on Drew's birthday. Just like Hannah gave her miracle up to God so did Drew. Drew and Whitney had a miracle baby boy. How does Drew raise up his son? God so clearly revealed to Drew to pray over him and be the spiritual leader of his home. The fasting focus is: Brokeness. The testimony of Nehemiah. We don't realize how powerful our testimony is. Nehemiah's heart was broken. He needed a miracle. God sees our heart in distress. Remember some things only happen by prayer and fasting.
Today we are talking about the miracle where Joshua told the sun to stand still. Where has God done a miracle in your life where it doesn't make any earthly sense? Melody tells us of her story. What is going on today in your generation? The fasting focus today is Protection. We are living in a scary time in our culture. What areas do we need protection today?
Today we are talking about miracles in the day to day. Joshua was leading the Israelites around the City of Jericho and then the walls came tumbling down. Tammy asks Melody, “If you were there how would you feel?” Then Tammy asks Melody about a story where she had to trust God. Listen to this powerful story of breakthrough. It was a miracle. The fasting focus is on favor. If you were asking for favor what would it be?
We need to depend on God everyday. We need fresh manna. The Israelites were in the wilderness grumbling and God said He would provide for them daily. We struggle with God providing for us daily. We must trust and believe. Fasting focus today is Jonah. And listen to Bethany's story about unforgiveness and what Holy Spirit said to her.
Today is about unity, community, and people. What do you think life groups were back in Moses' time? Fasting Focus is on Jehoshaphat.
2nd Miracle was Moses and the burning bush. We all have an encounter with a burning bush and we hear the voice of God. He wants to speak to us. We need to listen. God wants to work in our life. Are you asking God what your assignment is? Fasting focus. INTIMACY.
Do you need a miracle and can you believe God for it? First miracle was creation. Fasting focus. A CLEAN HEART.
