Kurabasha. Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to your name. Well, praise the Lord. Good morning, everybody. Listen, come in. We're streaming on 3 Facebook pages and YouTube right now. Welcome to 5 AM Prayer. This is day 1 of our 3-day fast. Glory to the name of God, which is a part of our 10 Days of Supernatural Provision. We're believing God for the release of provision in a supernatural way over these next 10 days, uh, for our lives, for our businesses, for your lives, your businesses, for the dreams that are in your heart. We're believing God that he's going to open a major door. Glory to God. And that he's going to make a major way and that no weapon formed against you will be able to prosper. Glory to God. Matter of fact, we're believing God for victory at every front. Glory to the name of God. I want to start this morning. Praise God. Good morning, Zion. Good morning, daughter. Good to see you here. I want to start this morning. Praise God. Talking about effectual prayer. And I want to make sure you guys also— make sure you adhere to the prayer focus and study guide that I gave you guys. You know, we're believing God for breakthrough for real. We want to see the hand of God. God bless you, Pastor Jasper. Good morning, sir. We want to see the hand of God move. We want to see a real manifestation of his authority and glory in our life through this time of fasting, through this 10 Days of Supernatural Provision. Uh, and we're believing God for real, guys. for him to, uh, release the provision for us to do what we need to do concerning our worship facility here in Atlanta. And we just thank that God has already done it, and we, we're just sealing the deal through our sacrificing and through our praying. Glory to God. So this morning, again, Yes, God, I give you praise. I give you praise. I want to read our scriptures up because we want to be effective. We want to be effective. So I gave you guys 3 scriptures in the prayer guide, and if you're just joining us, hear me, and you don't have the prayer focus or the fast guide, please go to rhodachurch.com/fast24, download the prayer guide so you could be on the same page with us. Uh, James 5:16, um, the Bible says the earnest, heartfelt, continual prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available, dynamic in its working. So as we pray from the heart Glory to God. If we pray with fervency and fire, glory to the name of God, we believe God is going to make tremendous power, tremendous power, great power available to us. You ought to say that. Say great power. Glory to God. Great power. As we pray over these 3 days, this is, this is our belief. We're believing God that he's going to make great power available. Glory to God! Ha! Glory to God! And it's going to be dynamic in its working. So this great power that is going to become available to us for usage, to be able to use, it's going to be dynamic in its work, which means it's going to be effective and it's going to continue to work over and over and over again. Watch this. In other words, this scripture is telling us that through our praying, as we're praying effectively, this power that God's gonna make available in the area of authority, influence, and provision— hear what the Holy Spirit is saying this morning. He's saying this power, hear me, will never be able to be revoked. Oh my God. Oh my God. It'll never be able to be overturned. It'll never be taken away. Praise God. It's going to— ooh, shabatayekoushiyaya— be with us even now and forevermore. Glory to God. Whoa, and it's gonna keep working and working and working as long as we use it. See, something can be available to you and you not even adhere that is there. You can ignore it and not use it. Glory to God. But God said if we grab it, if we use it, if we put our hands to the plow, this power is going to be dynamic in his working. Oh boy. All right, let's go to 1 Peter 3 and verse number 12. I love you, God. For the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, those who are upright humans and in right standing with God. So when it talks about the righteous, it's not just talking about the us that are in right standing, but also those of us who are humans. This text is for humans. We stand on two legs, we stand upright. He says, hear this, the eyes of the Lord upon us. Just touch yourself and say, the eyes of the Lord. Yes, Father. Are upon me. So God is watching you. His eyes mean not only is he looking at you, but he's thinking about you. He's focused on you. He perceives where you are, and he also— listen— knows where you're going. Oh my God. So his eyes is upon you. He knows where we are. He knows where we're going. He knows the position we sit in, even in this moment, as it relates to provision. He knows what each one of us is up against financially. Are you hearing this? He knows, oh my God, the levels and the scales that he needs to take us to. Glory to the name of God. We give you praise. We give you glory. We give you honor. Yes, God. Yeah, I hear you, God. I hear you. And his ears are attentive, open to our prayer. So God is looking at us. He knows where we are, where we're going, and he's paying attention to us praying. His ears are open. Hallelujah. He's waiting for us to pray as he commanded us in 1 John 5, that we ask anything according to his will. His will is the word. He will do it. So as we pray according to the word these next 3 days together, glory to God, God's ears are open. He is going to hear us when we pray. Glory to God, he is paying attention. His eyes is watching us to bless us. He's looking and he's listening. He's looking and he's listening. My God, today. Oh, rabba shatalabaye, rebashiku talabashe. Hebrews 4, verse 12. For the word that God speaks is alive and full of power, making it active, operative, energizing, and effective. It is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life and the immortal spirit, and of the joints and marrow. My God, that is the deepest parts of our nature, exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of our heart. And all of these texts I'm reading on the NIV— I'm not— I'm sorry, I'm gonna Amplified. Bible says the word of God is alive and full of power. So when we are praying the word, we're speaking life, we're speaking what's alive. Glory to God. The moment we speak the word of God in prayer out of our mouth— oh my God, my God today, my God today. Oh, glory to God! Something is released from heaven that produces life on earth. It becomes very active and working the moment we pray. It starts working and operating, and it starts energizing and making us effective in the name of Jesus. Lord have mercy. We love you, God, and we praise you. Lebasho rabakande dedidi di ansata babaki. Bransha lebakora makaya. Leki andolo bo shiti amando lo bo shike andoshi atabaya. Bransha labakisa tabai. Hallelujah! So let's pray. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. We thank God for release of apostolic provision. Glory to God. We thank God for release of his power. Glory to God. We thank God for a release of the anointing. Praise God. And we declare that no weapon formed against us— glory to God— will be able to prosper. So Father, in Jesus' name, your word declares we shall decree a thing and it will be established. So Father, we thank you, God, that as we open our mouth and make these decrees and speak your word, God, We thank you that the things that we decree, dear God, that they will be established in the mighty name of Jesus. And we decree and declare that no weapon that is formed against us will be able to prosper in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. So Father, we thank you that your grace is sufficient for us according to your word. And God, we decree and declare that not only is your grace sufficient, glory to God, but your mercy endureth forever. And so Father, we We thank you, glory to God, that where we may have missed it, God, any sin of omission or commission, we thank you, God, that your grace is sufficient. And God, that your blood covers us and keeps us. And God, we decree and declare that we are justified, glory to the name of God, accord— by faith, God, according to your redemptive, efficacious vicarious substitutionary work of Calvary, we decree and declare, oh my God, oh! We decree tonight, God, today, this morning, that there's still power. Yes, God, in the blood of Jesus. Yes, yes. We plead the blood, the blood, the blood. Satan, the blood is against you. The blood against doubt, the blood against fear. Cast the devil out of the mind. Yes, God, break down every stubborn will. And we say, yes, Lord, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood. Runkushkatalabasa. The blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood. Lekiskata. We plead the blood, the blood over our children. Libason. The blood over our bank accounts. Bransorobokushatababaya. The blood over our homes and our families. Bran. The blood over our automobiles. The blood, the blood, the blood, the blood over our businesses. The blood. Gloshikutorababakande. Over our streams of income. The blood of Jesus. We plead the blood. We plead the blood, the eternal blood of Jesus, against every thief, every robber in the realm of the spirit and in the realm of earth that comes to kill, steal, and destroy our inheritance in you, God. We— oh God, yeah, we plead the blood of Jesus against them now. Glory. That comes to rob us of life and that more abundantly. Father, we believe your word that we could speak those things that are not as though they were. We don't— We don't have no science, God, to make an adjustment to that word. That's your word, that we can speak what's not as though they— it is. And Father, we thank you for your word, God. Hallelujah. We don't try to make adjustments because we're lazy in prayer. People who are lazy in prayer, oh my God, don't believe that how we call it is how it shall be. Rabashatalabakaya. They don't believe that death and life is in the power of their tongue. People who like to paddle upstream, oh my God, and speak negative and align with their religious comforts. So Father, even this morning, so we may be effective, we bind up religious comfort in the name of Jesus. Ama. We break the spirit of religious comfort in Jesus' name, and we declare there is power in what we say, and that the effectual fervent prayer of the righteous, it does avail much, it does work much. Glory to God, hallelujah! We thank you that the words of our prayers are already working for us even now. God, you said in your word, Father, whatsoever we bind on earth, that it would be bound in heaven. So Father, even now Yes, kita laban sete baki. We bind poverty, we bind sickness, we bind— oh my God— disunity, we bind division, we bind false prophets, we bind false miracles, we bind witches, warlocks, false apostles, we bind up in the name of Jesus false teachers. Liba, we bind up all doubt. We bind up mediocrity. We bind up low mindsets. Yes, God. In the name of Jesus. We bind every mindset that doesn't align with your will. Oh God, we bind up all sickness, all disease. We bind ignorance into the answer to the unwillingness to learn. We bind it up. You said whatever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. We bind up perversion. We bind up illegal effeminacy. We bind up illegal masculinity. In the name of Jesus, we bind up the spirit of whoredoms and fornication and lust. We bind up the spirit of homosexuality and lesbianism. In the name of Jesus, we bind up— ah God— the spirit of sin. That causes us to miss the mark and come short of your glory, of your involvement. In the name of Jesus, and you said whatever we loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. So Father, this morning we loose provision. For your word declares you are Jehovah Jireh, and not only that, we know you as Jehovah Jireh. You are the Lord, our provision. Oh God, so we loose provision for our needs. Your word also says you would supply all of our need according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus the righteous. So we declare that our needs are met according to not our riches but your riches. We thank you for supernatural provision, Father. We trust you, God, that every need, every resource we need— hallelujah— for our personal lives is, is loosed now in the name of Jesus, because you are the source of our supply. And that simply means, Father, that if it is not available in the earth, you created— God, yeah, you created, you created, you created. So Father, we thank you, God. Oh, and we don't lack a thing, neither do we have a care. All of our needs are met and we have the desires of our heart. We thank you that whatever we set our hands to prospers. We have prosperity in all areas of our life, God. We have prosperity in our families. We have prosperity spiritually. We have prosperity financially. Oh, everything we put our hands to, wherever we put our foot, we declare according to our word, we possess it. It belongs to us. We declare it in the name of Jesus. And we decree and declare that wealth and blessing is released now. We thank you that is being loosed to us now. And I declare that we are billionaires and multimillionaires in the name of Jesus. And you are loosing the mindset, God. Oh my God, a freedom to think big, a paradigm shift in the mind to understand that you have thoughts of peace and not of evil for us. And that simply means, God, that you're thinking in terms of us accomplishing things that you assist us with, and you're not thinking concerning injuring us or slowing us down or hindering us. So Father, we thank you that we have a huge mind and we think through your mind. We thank you that the mind of Christ is being loosed in our life this morning. For your word declares to let this same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. So Father, today we receive the mind of Christ, which is a mind of purpose, a mind of victory, a mind of power. Yes, God, we decree and declare, God, according to your power. Hallelujah! Glory to God that all of the people connected to us are moving in an economic ascension even now. I decree and declare, glory to God, that they're moving into their wealthy place according to your word. Your word declares that you would bring us into our wealthy place in the mighty name of Jesus. And we bless you, God, and we thank you for this fast. We give you praise, we give you glory, we give you honor as we turn our plates down and sacrifice and pray, as we pray effectively Even according to the scriptures we read today, according to your word, we thank you that the word is active, is operative, is energizing. We thank you that divine ideas and supernatural reasoning will begin to emerge in our thought processes to create wealth. And we thank you that over the next 10 days, there will be a supreme manifestation, an economic shift in the lives of your people. We call it forth. We thank you, God, that you hear us when we pray. So we call for money, we call forth resources, and we thank you that everything we need from screens, from, uh, getting the building ready and signage and outreach and marketing— God, we thank you that everything we need to secure that building, glory to God, will be done debt-free. And God, we thank you that even in the months to come, oh, Rabba Shanda, everything will be debt-free because you will prosper your people and you will cause many to give from the north, the south, the east, and the west. We declare it in the name of Jesus. We declare it, God, and we say it is so. Yes, God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Thank you, God. Thank you for financial ascension. Thank you for your glory being revealed. The wealth, the dimension of wealth, lebasanda, la bakanda, mountain-ruling wealth to rest on our ministry, rather church, rather family of churches. We declare we will have what we need to plant churches. We'll have what we need to deploy pastors with salaries. We'll have what we need, God, to buy buildings around the country debt-free. We'll have what we need to ensue the media necessary to expose what you've given us to the world. We declare it in the name of Jesus. And we say it is so. In Jesus' name. Hallelujah! Oh, Shabbat, in Jesus' name. Listen, one thing before we go, guys. Omansi. Yes, God, I give you praise. I want us in your prayer guide, I want you saying this confession every day. Those of you connected to Rhoda Church, and if you believe God for our ministry with us, glory to God, then you can make this confession of faith with us. Glory to God. But I need you guys to pray this every day. We're going to pray it together over the next 3 days, but even beyond this 10 days, I need you to keep this prayer on your lips so we're praying the same thing. We're going to pray it together now. Glory to God. And it's at the end of the prayer guide, the Fast Focus. Glory to God. And if you just get it out and pray along with me, so we're praying in agreement. The Bible said if any two will touch and agree on any one thing, that God will be in the midst of us and we can ask what we will and he will do it. So as we come into agreement to read this prayer, see, yeah The level— I need some of y'all to catch up that's connected to me, whether you're watching live or by replay. The level of excellence I have been operating in for 3 decades, I need the people— and what people do outside of me, you know, they could— they need to grab it too. But at the end of the day, that's not my concern. They're not my responsibility until they connect. But those of you who are connected to me, you need to catch up in excellence. And part of Operating in excellence is when I release something to you in excellence, at a high level of excellence, faith, and integrity that's much bigger than where we are and where we're going. You need to raise your mindset and stop living in mediocrity. Glory to God. Like this morning at 5, this needs to be a priority. I probably was up later than any of you. I probably got a more busy day than most of you. The reality is this is urgent, this is important. So we need to be here 5:00 AM every morning for the next 3 days. We need to keep this fast as it is written. Glory to the name of God. And we need to do this together so we can see the results that we're believing God for. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We give you praise, Jesus. We magnify you and we glorify your great name. Hallelujah. Let's pray the vision for Rhoda Church, the Rhoda family of churches. Glory to God. Together, Father, in the name of Jesus, we come into your presence thanking you for Rhoda Church. You have called us to be saints in the region called Georgia the DMV, and around the world. As we lift our voices in one accord, we recognize that you are God and everything was made by and for you. We call into being those things that are not as though they were. We thank you that we all speak the same thing. There is no division among us. We are perfectly joined together in the same mind. Grant unto us, your representatives here, a boldness to speak your word, which you will confirm with signs following. We thank you that we have workmen in abundance and all manner of cunning and skillful people for every manner of work. Each department operates in excellence and intercession. We have in our church the ministry gifts for the edifying of this body till we all come into the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God unto a mature person. Oh, Rabbi Shanda the Baki, and none of your people will be children tossed to and fro and carried about with every wind of doctrine. We speak the truth in love. Glory to God. We decree and declare we are growing and witnessing body of believers becoming 2,500 strong in each location. We have every need met. Therefore, we meet the needs of people who come, spirit, soul, and body. We ask for wisdom in meeting these needs. Father, we thank you for the ministry facilities that will more than meet the needs of the ministry you've called us to. We decree and declare, yes God, Our church is prospering financially and we have more than enough. Yes, God, to meet every need in every situation. We have everything we need to carry out your Great Commission and reach the Metro Atlanta area and the DMV regions for Jesus. We are a people of love. As love is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Spirit. We thank you that the word of God is living big in all of us, and Jesus is Lord. We declare, God, that we are supernatural church composed of supernatural people doing supernatural things, for we are laborers together with God. We thank you, God, for your presence among us. And we lift our hands now, God, and we praise your holy name. And we say thank you, Jesus. And we say glory to the living God for all that you've done even now. Amen and amen. Rother family, I want you praying this prayer in your prayer time every single day. We're going to confess it together every day throughout this 3-day fast, but I want you to be bought into what God has called us to do enough to not be lazy, to open your iPad, your phone, or wherever you have this, your computer, and make this confession so that no matter where we are because that's— we're in different parts of the country. We're local to Atlanta. You need to be making this confession on your lips. I love you guys. Thank you for getting up early and praying with us today. We got work to do. 10 Days of Supernatural Provision, uh, starts today. The fast starts today. 3-day fast today, tomorrow, Wednesday. I'll be here 5 AM every day. Supernatural Provision teaching will stream every day at 8 o'clock PM. Make the sacrifice, get stuff in your house in order where you can sit down with a pen and paper and get this word. This is an urgent word. Uh, listen, don't think I'm doing this because I don't have nothing to do. I promise you, I'm doing this out of obedience because God needs us positioned to walk out supernatural provision from henceforth and forever and be a light and example to this— to the rest of the world on how God loves us so much that he wants to supernaturally provide for us. So tune in, Join us, stay with us. It's going to be phenomenal, and we're going to see some results in these 10 days. Listen, I'm believing God. I promise you, I'm believing God for $30,000 for our ministry. It's gonna happen. I'm telling you, it's gonna happen in these next 10 days because there are things we need to do, not only Atlanta, things we need to do in DMV. And somebody in your mind said, well, Apostle, you got it, we don't need to give. Those days are over. People connected to this vision need to buy in. Glory to God. Point blank, bottom line, end of story. I love you guys, but I want to see you prosper. I want to see you win. I want to see the ministry do what it's called to do. Listen, people raise money and, and manipulate the scriptures for their own purposes. That's not happening here. We want to advance the kingdom. We want to meet the needs of other people as a ministry. In order to do that, we have to do what God has asked us to do. We have to put in the work, we have to give, we have to raise our mindset, and we have to walk out supernatural provision. I love y'all, man. Pastor Jeffrey, do me a favor, sir. Please, please send out a text and remind our team how important it is that every person be on this prayer line every day, period. And how important it is that they be live, not watch the replay. See, you're not getting up, making a sacrifice at 5 if you're watching the replay. All right, yeah, you're not. Okay, so you need to get up at 5 and pray with us in agreement. Secondly, I need you to tell them that every person connected to us needs to be on at 8 o'clock every night to engage supernatural provision, okay, to connect to this teaching. Glory to God. So they can get these principles. All right, do that for me, Pastor. I appreciate you. Thank you, sir. Glory to God. Y'all be blessed today. This is day one. I'll see y'all soon. Peace.
