So what I want to do first, guys— Lord, I thank you— I just want to read the scripture that was in my spirit when I got up. Listen, again, I pray to God that you're just excited about this fast as I am, because really, I believe, family, that We're going to be better. I'm— I said it yesterday when I was teaching at 12 noon, we're going to be better after this is over. So your diligence, uh, in keeping this fast and, uh, being a part of the prayer, being a part of the teachings— like I said, if you missed the 12 noon teaching, if you're working and just can't be on, make sure you go back and watch those teachings. Uh, yesterday was a phenomenal word from God Uh, you need that deposit to help you stay strong as we walk through, uh, these 21 days, because I'm really believing we're going to take action, and that as we fast for fire, glory to God, we're going to take deliberate actions in our life going forward. Again, in the areas of seeking God, serving God in our kingdom purpose, glory to the name of God, and sharing God with others. So I, I'm just Like I said, I'm elated, I'm excited. I believe something good is coming out of this. So I'm going to read, glory to God, in Matthew chapter number 6, and I really want to start this morning in verse number 24. And we're going to pray around this premise. Again, we're fasting for fire, we're fasting that a passion to seek him like never before will be ignited in us. But here's what I know, I know a lot of times We don't seek God the way we should because there are certain elements that get in our way, obstacles that try to block us, slow us down. And in many instances, family, it will tarnish our zeal, uh, toward God. And really, um, we become appetized or satisfied with things that are outside of the will of God Glory to God. And that just really shouldn't be. So I want to, I want to read this, and then we're going to pray around the scripture this morning. So let's read, uh, we're going to start at 24, we'll end up at 33. All right, the Bible says, no man can serve two masters, for either he will hate the one— listen, listen— or he will love the other, or else he will hold to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon. Hear this, uh, therefore I say unto you— this is Jesus talking— he said, take no thought for your life, what you shall eat or what you shall drink, nor yet for your body what you shall put on. Is not life more than meat and the body than raiment? Verse 26, behold the fowls of the air, For they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Oh my God, listen to this. Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow, they toil not, neither do they spin. Verse 29: And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory— my God, today— was not arrayed like one of these. Verse 30: Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not more clothe you O ye of little faith. My God, today. Therefore take no thought, saying, verse 31, what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithal shall we be clothed? For all these things do the Gentiles seek. For your heavenly Father knoweth that you have need— listen— of all these things. He knows. He's, he's very clear of what we need. Glory to God. But seek— here's the kicker, here's the kicker— glory to God, ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Verse 34, I'll read that since we're already there. Glory to God. Uh, take therefore no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow shall take thought, my God, my God, today for the things of itself sufficient unto the day. Listen to this, is the evil thereof. So I just want to back up a few moments just to gain a little understanding, and we're going to pray over this scripture today because I believe that God is interested in a passionate pursuit of him in this season like never before, that really will birth out a consistency and a continuity in hunger for the things that pertain to him. That our, our seeking will not be robotic, it will not be legalistic, it will not be religious, it will not be again based on feeling, but it'll be based on desire. All right, so if we, if we back up in this text, we start in verse 24, and throughout here we're basically going to see 3 problems that really are right in here. A lot of times we read over them and we don't just really view them as issues, but these are problems, these are trepidation, these are impediments that hinder us from actually— oh my God— seeing the kingdom, seeking the kingdom, and soaring in the kingdom. God wants you to see the kingdom, seek the kingdom, soar in the kingdom. And we talked about this on Sunday, how we got to receive the whole kingdom through learning, through obedience— oh my God— and through practice, demonstration. Glory to God. So again, God wants you to see his kingdom for real, because he wants you to stop viewing the kingdom of God as something you experience when you die and go to heaven. No, he wants you to experience the kingdom of God on earth right here, right now, as it is in heaven. Lord, I thank you. Glory to God. Oh my God, he wants you to experience here and now. You got to see it, you got to seek it. And soar in it. And this is why we're fasting, so our life is governed by kingdom principles, kingdom ways of living, that we are actually influenced from our home country to live our life effectively. So these three problems come up in every one of our lives. As a tool of Satan. Watch this. Oh my God. To try to stop us from pursuing the kingdom. The first one was this. Yeah, God, it's a problem with mastership. He said no man can serve two masters. And so Jesus immediately identifies one of the problems with receiving the kingdom totally, with seeing the kingdom, seeking the kingdom, sowing the kingdom. He says the first problem is a problem with mastership. Hear me. He says no man can serve two masters. So I don't expect people who are just church goers to get this, but I'm talking to kingdom citizens this morning, early in the morning, glory to God, at 5:16 AM. Yeah, I'm talking to you because I want you to get this. You can't serve two masters. You got to choose who your master is. And the word mastership here, the Greek idea is that, uh, watch this, a slave and his master, that is under the control of the master. And oh my God, we don't like slavery, nobody does, and it was wrong. But in this context, you and I, our service— watch this— serve— the word service, doulos in Greek, which means to deliberately become a slave. Oh my God, here we go, here we go, here we go. Oh my God. So again, this is, this is not just, I came to Jesus as I was, I was weary, wounded, and sad, and I found him a resting place and he has made me glad. No, it's more than that. You literally, if you want to receive the kingdom, you got to sign up to be a slave and conclude that Jesus is your master every day, all the time, in every way. You can't serve two masters. The Bible said here you can't serve God and mammon. You can't serve God and money. You can't serve God and the systems of the world. You can't serve God and carnality. So I need you to decide today, this morning. Listen, guys, come on, family, I need you to decide. And those that are watching us, those that are, uh, watching with us this morning, praying with us, glory to God, whether even whether whether you're live or by replay, I need you to decide who your master is. Here's what I know: there are people that have established their own agenda. And so, but when you're a slave, you don't get to decide— watch this— when you're going to be a slave. When you sign up deliberately, say, I'm a slave, I'm a prisoner to Christ, you be— you, you say, God, I'm going to follow what you say, I'm going to follow your principles, I'm going to trust you, I'm going to believe in you, I am going to move when you say move, just like that. Because the reality is, you, Father, are my master. So yeah, we're gonna pray about mastership. You know, sometimes some of the reasons many people can't be obedient, you know, to God and the things that he's deciding and the things that he's planned for their life is because realistically They really are not slaves, you know. They're in and out, you know. They, they, they're sold out to their own ideology, their own deal. All right, so you can't have two masters. First problem, the problem of mastership. You gotta decide where your commitment is, who's your king, and that what he says goals. Okay, okay, all right, that's the first problem. The second problem was a problem of anxiety. Notice he gets into this dialogue: take no thought for this, take no thought for food, take no thought for clothes, take no thought where you live. See, when you really— see, this comes from the lack of him being really a master. The reason you're worried about your life and you're full of anxiety— one, because you have not fully received the kingdom, and two, you have not fully accepted the word, the ways of God as your master. You, you really still think you're in control of your life, but when you come into the kingdom as a kingdom citizen because he chose you. The Bible said you didn't choose him. I know many thought they did. Oh, I found Jesus. No, you didn't find him. He never was lost, okay? First of all, he never was lost. Uh, secondly, he found you. Yeah, he discovered you. He knew you before you got here. He already had it set up in his plan for you to be a part. Before you were formed in your mother's belly, you were ordained to be sanctified. You were ordained to be saved. You ordained to be born again. Yeah, yeah, yeah, man. Yeah, you were. So he chose you. Matter of fact, he said, you did not choose me, I chose you, that you could go forth and bring forth fruit. So he goes into this dialogue to convince us that, hey, if I take care of the birds and the fowls of the air, if I take care of the lilies of the field, What more would I do for you? So I need you guys right now, in the name of Jesus, stop it. In the name of Jesus, worry, stop it with the anxiety. It is hindering you from receiving the blessings of the kingdom. Oh my God, oh my God, it is hindering you from receiving the blessings of the kingdom. So there's a problem with mastership, it's a problem with anxiety, those two. The last one he deals with is a problem of priority, and he says seek first the kingdom. Yeah, seek first. First deals with priority, priorizo in Greek, which means to put a superlative priority, to rank above everything else. To put it first. So before you lean on your own understanding, before you exalt your problems before you exalt God, before you work through your own intelligence to figure out your situation and where you are, before you make decisions to walk away from something you know God told you to be a part of— oh my God— before you, before you get a divorce, before you disconnect from covenant relationships that God ordained. And watch this, you need to prioritize the kingdom above your emotion, above your ego, above how you feel, above being offended. And you need to seek first the kingdom. So let's, let's break down those words really quick. He says, seek ye first the kingdom. Glory to God, glory to God. Seek first. Glory. God bless you, Pastor Montgomery, good to see you. Glory to God. The reality is that that word seek is zetaio in the Greek. It means to pursue hard after with passion and uninterrupted focus. It means to— oh my God— lock in, in discipline. And with everything you have to deliberately go after the kingdom, and you put that in priority, which means you choose the kingdom before you choose anxiety, worry. You choose the kingdom before you choose your carnal master, and you seek God's way, God's word, God's order to doing things. Oh my God, today, before anything else— and this is why many of you are frustrated, you're, you're mad at God, you have strife with God— because at the end of the day, you're going after your way of doing it. You want it to happen the way you want it to happen when you need to learn the kingdom way. And you need to seek that order, you need to seek the King's— oh my God— abilities. To be involved with every part of your life. Are y'all hearing me? Glory to God. Listen, I pray you're hearing this this morning. I'm trying to help you because at the end of the day, as long as you're alive, we read it in verse 34, the Bible says sufficient is the evil. Ain't no need in you adding no more evil to it by choosing the wrong master. Come on, by worrying and by not prioritizing the kingdom first. Oh my God, about enough evil is going to happen. The devil doesn't like the fact that you have a mind to pursue the kingdom anyway, so he is going to do his job to try to throw you into anxiety, to make you worry about your bills, worry about your finances, worry about how you're going to do this, how you're going to do that, worry about sickness, Fear becomes the driving force behind your decision-making process because you're not pursuing the kingdom way first. Remember we learned Sunday, we, we dived into this, man, that the kingdom is the basilia. Glory to God, it's royal authority. Oh, that's what he's telling you to seek, royal authority. Royal power. Glory to God. Royal dominion. He said seek to be in charge, seek to operate through the resources and the revelation and the instructions of your king, and take dominion. Take your place in authority and be what God has called you to be. Good God Almighty, Lord have mercy. Thank you. Shemay alikiska tabanso ramonkiaya. Thank you, God. We're gonna pray. I just need y'all to get this. But seek ye first, put in superlative rank priority, the kingdom, the basilia, royal authority, royal power, royal dominion. Yeah, yeah, yeah. God, God didn't change his mind about us walking in his authority. And walking in his power. You don't want us just to be good churchgoers. He want us to walk in authority. He wants to show up in this earth, glory to God, and move in power, to move, glory to the name of God, in a way that we impact systems, we impact, glory to the name of God, institutions and governments through who we are. And we're sitting around worrying over a bill, worrying over a dart that the enemy is throwing at our body when we got authority over all sickness and disease? We got authority over resources because he said, I'll supply your need according to your— he said in this text, he said, I know the need even before you ask me for. And I know you saying, well, if he know it, why won't he just, just give it to me? Because he needs you to seek the kingdom. He needs you to seek his way Oh my God, of doing and ruling. Watch this, the kingdom and his righteousness. That word righteousness is diosune in Greek, so you got to see that's a compound, kingdom and right. Watch this, the root of the word righteousness, or even diosune, leads to a word dia, or which will get words like diagram, which means accuracy. Ooh, seek to be accurate. You shouldn't want to miss it to the left or to the right. You ought to want to be accurate and right and in line with the word of God, never missing it. So you should seek accuracy in your day-to-day life. You need to be accurate about where you live because every assignment has a geography and a topography. You need to make sure that you are in the right place to perform your kingdom job. Oh my God, are you hearing this? Good God from Zion. Good God, good God. You, you need to make sure, glory to God, that you're not missing it. Seek that first. Yeah, don't just be so anxious for what you want now that you mess up what's coming later. I said that yesterday, I'll say it again. We get so inebriated by what we want right now, and we should be concentrating on what's coming later, what God is planning for the future. And we get out of sync with God, and we get inaccurate, and we miss God's plan for our life. But he said, I want you to seek righteousness. I'm sorry, but that word has very little to do with behavior and has more to do with accurate thinking. Because if you think accurately and you think in alignment with God, your behavior, it follows. Listen, your head controls your body in every sense— physically, naturally, and spiritually. Everything comes through your head. Glory to God. If you bend over and try to— oh my God— throw your head first, the rest of your body is coming whether it want to or not. You got to be accurate. You got to think. And I'm telling you this morning, as we pray, and this one thing we're going to pray about— wake up and think. Everybody running around talking about get woke, I'm woke, all that. Listen, yeah, wake up and think. And here's the problem with churchgoers: we have all this good church, but we don't think. And God is saying we need to wake up and think, and we need to become very practical. We need to become very intentional. Oh my God, oh my God, about what we do, what we say, where we go, how we move, and make sure we're accurate with the people we deal with, the places we go, the particulars that we live through in our life. And forget all this worry, man. Let this worry go. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. We gotta think. We jump, shout, speak in tongues, spit, blow bubbles, worship, cry, and we don't use our brains. God gave you your brains for a purpose. The main purpose of your brain is so you can align your thought process in accuracy with kingdom behavior and kingdom ways. He says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Watch this. Watch how powerful this is. If you— this is what we're doing. We're rising early at 5. I don't want us just to do this during this fast. I've been telling y'all all along, you should be rising up early to pray every day anyway. You shouldn't wait till we fast together and, and you feel under pressure to get up and pray at 5. You should rise up early and seek God anyway. He should be the first order of business in your life when you open your eyes anyway. And if you got to get up extra early so you can spend time with him before you get your children ready, before you get you ready for to start your day. You need to make that sacrifice and do that. You know why? Because it'll eliminate anxiety. It'll eliminate that problem. You won't worry about your day, I promise you. If you really seek God, you will not worry about your day. You'll be so assured that he got you. It will prove that he's the master. And that you really need him. You know what happens when you don't pray? You're saying to God, I got this. When you don't put him first in your day, you're saying to God, I got this day. When you don't prioritize seeking him— I ain't talking about praying on the drive-by on your way to the job. I'm talking about some prime time when you find a space and a time and you spend this time with God deliberately while everybody else in your house sleep, because you know you need him. You know why? Because he said if you seek the kingdom and his righteousness first, he said all the things, you ain't got to even worry about them. I'm gonna just add them to you. In other words, you ain't got to ask me about that food, shelter, water— oh my God— clothes, where you gonna live. God said, I got you. I'm just gonna slip that to you. That's what he means. You seek me and my righteousness and my kingdom, I'm gonna slip you the money you need for your business. I'm gonna— yeah, I'm gonna just add it to you. So again, the problem never is with God, it's with your lack of trust in him. Because when you really trust him and seek him, he can't lie. He said, I'll slip you opportunities. I'll slip you a Benz, I'll slip you a car. Oh my God, I'll slip you a new house. Just seek me, I'll just add it to you. I don't shoot the messenger, it's in the Bible. Glory to God. So we got to seek God. So, so that's part of our focus on this fast. To seek him, to seek him, to go after him with all we got. Let's pray. Glory to God. Father, we thank you, Lord. We thank you for this word in Matthew 6, God. And so, Father, first of all, I pray, God, in the area of the problem of mastership. And dear God, let this— I decree and declare, God, that those who have not become a total slave to you and what you desire. Glory to God. I pray now in the name of Jesus that you will give them the freedom, for your word declares, he who the Son sets free is free indeed. So I'm praying for supernatural freedom today, God, supernatural liberty to totally surrender, to totally submit to your will, your way, your plan. And Father, I decree and declare, Rabba to Rebbe sii, branso to bokoso rabba tayah. That we will call you master. You're our master teacher. You're our master instructor. You are our king. You are our God. We're nothing without you. Matter of fact, this whole idea of slaveship to you says that your way. So real freedom is being able to trust you with our life, not the freedom to do what we want. Not the freedom to live out of order and then play the grace card. But God, we thank you for a liberty that says we're going to submit to your mastership, your rule, your way, and what you desire of us, God, we're gonna do. And even right now, saints, I need you praying with me. Glory to God. The world is in need of a people who have literally accepted the slave ship that's connected to you, God, as our King, that we follow after your mind, your heart. That we become bondservants, God. Oh, doulos. That we become slaves in the kingdom. Hallelujah. That are free to flow in the things of God. Hallelujah. We attach ourselves to what you desire in the name of Jesus. We don't seek to serve mammon. We don't seek to serve carnality. We don't seek to analyze before we believe God. But we call you Master. Yes, God, we come to— We call you Master God. We surrender our members, we surrender our doubt, we surrender our fear. And God, in the name of Jesus, we call you today Master, Master, Master, Master, Master. We trust you with our life. We know you won't lead us astray. We know you won't lead us to the left nor to the right. But if we follow hard after you, we'll have joy, we'll have peace in the Holy Ghost, we'll have knowledge in the realm of the spirit. We won't have to— because we have opened ourselves up to the mind of the master to control our life. Let this same mind be in you yes, God, that was also in Christ Jesus. Yes, Father, superimpose your mind, let your mind on us today, God. Those watching us live and by replay, superimpose your thoughts. We rebuke every idle and carnal mind that buys into demonic influences of the mind. And Father, we break every mind trap. Oh God, we plead the blood. Yeah, we put blood on it. And we cast the devil out of the mind. And we break down every stubborn will and we say, yes, Lord. We say, yes, Lord. God, break the mind trap through our yes that has us trapped in the past, trapped in shortcomings, trapped in comfort, Oh, but God opened the mind today to mastership, that we could take on the mind of Christ. Glory to God. And we can fulfill our kingdom assignment. We can move, God, in the plans you ordained for us. We decree and declare we won't serve mammon, we won't serve worldly systems, but God, we will prioritize you over those systems. God, we thank you. God, we rebuke the spirit of worry, the spirit of anxiety. And in the name of Jesus, there are people live and by repeat— replay that are worrying about their future. They're worried about tomorrow. But Father, we rebuke worry now in the name of Jesus. And we decree and declare, God, that as you have already said in the word we read in Matthew 6, that tomorrow has already taken care of itself and that you've already provided. Oh my God. So we don't worry, we don't have anxiety because God will supply our every need. Yeah, God, we declare it. I decree and declare now that you don't have to worry about your light bill, your gas bill, your mortgage, your car notes, your insurance. I decree and declare you don't have to worry about how you're gonna take care of your kids. I declare now that the worry is broken. And I decree and declare that you will be obedient to God's will and God's way, and he will show you his hand, and he will provide, and he will add to you what you need. I break the spirit of worry now in the name of Jesus. Break it, God, break it, break it in Jesus' name. Libasa tababa basoto ramkuska tababa. I break the spirit of worry. Asoto rababa. Many of you are terrorized. Yes, God, I hear you. It's like a terrorist. I hear that gun, I see it so clear. It's like a terrorist in your mind and your spirit that's terrorizing you with worry, and, and you just can't come to trust God. Listen, some of you think that reality is accepting reality. That's a lie from the devil. Reality is accepting God's reality. Is letting the same mind that Christ had be in you. And if he said, God, I hear you, he would supply your need according to his riches in glory, not your riches. You gotta believe that. You can't believe that and worry at the same time. You can't believe that and move in fear at the same time. So I decree and declare that the spirit of fear be broken off your life in the name of Jesus. Even as we pray this morning, we decree and declare that God has not given you the spirit of fear, but he gave you power, he gave you love, and he gave you a sound mind. Oh my God, he gave you a well-balanced, intelligent, open mind to receive his principles, his way of doing things. See, part of what you're dealing with and what you're facing, it's not about God's ability. I hear you, God. God said to remind you, it's about you refusing to increase your faith and trusting in your old master. Your old master was how you did it. Yeah, it was how you were taught to earn money. It was what you had your trust in. Psalm 20: But some trust in chariots— I hear you, Holy Spirit— some trust in horses, but we will remember the name of our Lord God forever. Which means we don't trust in the pulling of chariots, the work. Thank God for opportunities to work, and you should work. If a man don't work, he shouldn't eat. But while you're working, you need to be believing God by faith. He could take the little that you make and expand it and add to you more than you ever had. Father, we love you and we thank you. We thank you that we will not worry because you are our shepherd. Yes. Yes, you are our shepherd. That's not just a scripture we learned in Sunday school, Psalm 23. You are our shepherd and we shall not lack. It's real. So we receive it this morning. Break the back of lack in our life as we release anxiety. Stop worrying about the issue. I hear that, God. Release it. Let it go. Put it in his hands. God, we declare your hands are capable. Oh, you are capable, God. You're more than able. To handle our issues. So we're not going to worry, we're not going to have anxiety. We're going to stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. Glory to God! We're not gonna faint, we're not gonna quit. We're not gonna give up. We're going to excel. The reality of God. Glory to God. What he says is correct. What he says is right. It's accurate. We're going to seek his kingdom. We're going to seek his righteousness, and we're not going to worry. Glory to God. You are our shepherd. Yeah. And we shall not want. You make us to lie down in green pastures. Your will for us is to eat in the best places so we don't worry, to graze in the best pastures, to have the best of everything. You make that happen when we trust you. I heard that. I hear you, Father. Perhaps Many of you said the Lord are missing the provision because you have not become a sheep. A sheep is a slave. God have mercy, God have mercy. Oh God, I love you, I love you, I love you. A sheep is a slave. God, shaman, and in order to get the benefits of Psalm 23, you got to be a sheep. The sheep is a slave to the shepherd. Lest he run away. Oh God, you got to become a sheep for real. Ain't talking about you just a church member and the pastor calling you sheep. No, you got to become a sheep of the Good Shepherd, of the Lord, and you got to trust him. Oh my God, stop running from purpose, stop running from his plan, stop leaning to your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge God and he will direct your path. You know what happens when the sheep runs? The shepherd goes and get him, but he don't go get him without penalty. When he brings him back, he takes his staff and breaks his legs so he doesn't run again. Perhaps you're feeling immobile. Thank you, Father. Perhaps you're feeling like you're stuck. Maybe it's because you keep running from faith, you keep running from trust. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Linkiska. Oh God, I thank you. Stop running from faith. Stop running from trust. Stop reverting back to your old ways and justifying it. You're missing the benefit of the sheep-shepherd relationship. You got to become a sheep. You shall not want. Sheep don't want. Sheep don't have lack. There's lack in your life, you ain't lined up as a sheep. Oh God, thank you, Father. Father, open up the floodlight on our soul and every place that we, we, we are not moving as sheep, including me, where we are not aligned as sheep as we should. Expose it to us, God. Let us be honest about it and truthful about it, and let us change in that area. Anywhere we doubt and fear what you promised being a reality. Help us to line up as sheep and trust you as our Good Shepherd. You're a good Father. Yes, you are, God. You're a good Father. Oh, you're a good Father, and we trust you. We trust you. You make us lie down in green pastures. You lead us beside still waters. You lead us into places where peace is. You lead us away from conflict, strife, and drama. So Father, I release peace on the life of your sheep. Your sheep, not my sheep, your sheep. Yeah, yeah, us, your sheep. I release peace. Which is the presence of your assistance, which is skill and insight and confidence to do what we've been asked to do of you. So I release the blessing of peace over your people. Peace is not the absence of confusion, it's the presence of assistance, it's the presence of skill, it's the presence of gifts, it's the presence of confidence. I release it over your people now. Oh God, sheep. Oh my God, the Holy Spirit took us there until he started with it, with mastership. And that's just all it is. You got to become a sheep so you can move in peace. You can— your gifts and your skill can come to full light and full fruition. Father, I thank you. We bless you, we honor you, we praise you, God. You're so good, you're so kind, you're so wonderful. You restore our soul. For your name's sake. Your soul is your mind, your will, your emotions. It's the center of man, your tripartite being. Yes, Lord, we thank you for the restoration of our soul. We have a body, we have a soul, we have a spirit. Glory to God. Soul is suke life, your psychological life. I told you, your mind, everything is happening here. What comes out of your spirit goes to your mind. You weigh it in your mind, it manifests through your body into human life. God, deliver our soul, our will, our emotion from ties and attachments. I break every soul tie. Whoo! Some of you are not so tied to people through sex. You're so tied to family, you're so tied to friends and things you need to let go. I break in the name of Jesus. Every soul tie. Yeah, God, in the name of Jesus, restore our soul. Yeah, watch this, for your name's sake, so you can get the full glory out of our life. God, restore our soul. Oh my God, oh my God, for your name's sake. Get the glory out of our life, God. Break every soul tie, every illegal connection, every contaminated thing we've touched in the past that is still lingering in our life now. Break that tie, God, in the name of Jesus, and make us whole. We rebuke perversion in the name of Jesus. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes! Give us freedom, God, in the soul. In the name, we renounce every soul tie. We declare it is illegal and we command it to be broken. And we thank you for liberty in the Holy Ghost even now. Linki osuta mamanta kase letebe oso. In In the name of Jesus. Yeah, I hear you, God. God is breaking something off of you right now. You need to receive it. It's not that important. You're trying to hold on to something that God's trying to take. God says let it go. That's why you find yourself in perpetual anxiety. You're worried because you're embracing yesterday. Forget those things which are behind. Become a sheep. Reach for what's ahead. Yea, though I walk— yeah, come on— through the valley and shadows of death, I fear no evil, for thou art with me. Thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Listen, I'm— I'm praying this morning, who— that through trial and tribulation we will know that God is with us and we will not worry. Got to be a sheep. I release priority over this people, live or by replay. I release the spirit of priority. Oh my God, that we We will seek you first, that we will zito or zetaio, however we want to pronounce it, that we will come after you intentionally, deliberately, with uninterrupted focus, with a bulldog-type aggression and passion. We will seek the kingdom in paraiso, in superlative rank and priority. We come after royal authority and dominion and royal power. We come after accuracy and righteousness. We seek it, God. We're hungry for it, God. I release a hunger in this people for the kingdom. Yeah, for the kingdom. The tababamah, for your dominion, for your domain, for your control, for your reality. Not legalism, not religion, not church, But the kingdom for real. Even— shit, man, yeah, God, I see that. Yeah, yeah, even those that appear— oh my God, like they got it. God says, I need you to receive my kingdom fully so that you just can't do church good, but you can show up in the world good. So I release a seeking of kingdom and righteousness as a title, an aggressive, intentional pursuit, an intentional hunger for the King and his kingdom. Himasa tababaya, rumbakat alabasita babaya. We give you glory, God. We give you honor. And Father, we thank you that you are more than that you are sufficient. And so, Father, even as we're fasting, I decree and declare that we will discover you in a deeper way. I, ah, I pray for a deep consecration that will cause us to take this serious. And I pray that it will be a springboard that ushers us into new dimensions and new ways of living. We fast, God, for fire. Let the fire of God burn through us, for burning ones fast and fasting ones burn. And I release a contagious fire through this people that will cause them to serve you with passion, in their kingdom assignment, and that will cause them to share you with others with passion and fire, and that many will come to you because of the fire that burns through us. And we ask these things now in Jesus' name. I pray for that mother, I pray for that child, I pray for that father Father, I pray, God, for that family that's in deep need of you, that marriage that needs your fire, that needs your anointing. I pray that you move, God. I decree and declare that you fill the voids in our life, every hurt, every broken place. Fill the voids, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus. And we give you glory, we give you honor, in Jesus' name we do pray today. Amen. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. I pray, God, that you have been blessed by God's presence today.
