5 AM Prayer | Day 21 of 21 Days of Action with Dr. Mike Woods

In this live/recorded devotional, Dr. Mike Woods closes the 21‑day 5 AM prayer fast, urging participants to make early‑morning prayer a lasting habit. He reads and interprets several scriptures (Psalm 66:19, Isaiah 65:24, Psalm 118, 1 Kings 17, Joshua 23:14, John 7:38, Psalm 66:12) to affirm that God has heard the prayers, ended spiritual drought, and promises a "wealthy place" of prosperity, liberty, and abundance. The sermon includes extensive spiritual‑warfare declarations, binding demonic forces, and proclaiming blessings over health, families, children, marriages, businesses, ministries, real‑estate ownership, and church property. Woods then issues a specific seed‑offering request of $66.12, explaining its symbolic link to Psalm 66:12 and urging listeners to give via Zelle or other methods. He outlines logistics for an 8 PM testimony livestream, notes there will be no noon teaching, and encourages participants to share testimonies of the fast’s impact. The overall message blends biblical exhortation, prophetic declaration, and a fundraising appeal aimed at cementing the habit of early prayer and activating promised blessings.
Chapters
A pleasant good morning, everybody. This is the day the Lord has made. And we rejoice. Yes, Lord, and we are glad in it. I want to thank everyone that is here this morning, uh, for rising early on this final day of our 5 AM prayer for our 21 Days of Action. And of course, you know, uh, I pray that over this last 21 days what this has become for you is a distinctive desire and a habit to sacrifice your sleep and rise up early and spend some quality time with the Father. Um, like I've said time and time again throughout this fast, these times have been, um, really good to me, just being able to get up and pray with you. Uh, but I want you to take this away as a habit and just to rise up and seek the face of God. You know, your day— and I'm sure as you've seen over these last 21 days, it's just really a proven principle for you now— your day will be a whole lot better when you put him at the forefront and you really spend some quality time with him. Uh, so I don't want this just to be a 21-day occurrence at the beginning of the year. This is something that we need to make sure that we're constantly practicing. Glory to God. So good morning to everybody, uh, welcome, and I'm going to go ahead and get started. I'm going to read a few scriptures and then we're going to pray. Glory to God. Again, this is day 21. This has been an amazing fast, um, And I'm just super excited on the results that we're going to see from our commitment and our dedication to this time with God. Uh, so I want to read, uh, first Psalm 66, Psalm 66 and verse number 19. Um, you'll find these words, the Bible says And this is the New International Version. It says, but God has surely listened and has heard my prayer. And I just want us to understand and decree this today, that as we have been praying and asking God to, to hear us and to touch us and to be with us, um, and dialoguing with him on a daily basis for these last 21 days, I want to be clear something, that he has heard us. Glory to God, he has heard us. Glory to God. And, and as the psalmist has declared, God has surely listened and heard my prayer. I want to say to you today that God has surely heard and listened to our prayers. Glory to God, we have not been praying in vain. I want you to know the Father has heard and he is responding. Matter of fact, let's, let's read Isaiah, uh, 65, uh, and 24. Glory to God. Oh, glory to God. Now I want us to keep this in our heart as we move forward throughout the rest of this year, past this fast. When we pray, then what's really going on, it's not just religious activity, right? But Isaiah 65:24, the Bible says, before before they call, I will answer. Oh, and while they are yet speaking— come on, God— I will hear. So before we even get in a posture, before we utter a sound— glory to God— before we look like we're about to pray, The Bible says he will answer. Glory to God. So even as we prayed over the last 21 days, and as we pray today, even before we open up our mouths, glory to God, the Father is saying, I've already answered. Woo! While you're speaking it, He's saying he hears. The Hebrew idea of a hearer is the Septuagint transliteration of a Greek word, actually, a-k-o-u, which means he listens with an intent to perform what he hears. So when we pray the word, we need to not doubt and not fear. He's listening. Glory to God. When we pray. A matter of fact, let's keep— let's read another one. Psalm 118. I just want to establish that our praying has not been in vain. God has heard us. Glory to God. Our praying has not been in vain. God has heard us. Lord, I love you. Then the psalmist is giving thanks. He said, I thank you, God. Thank you, Jesus. That you have answered me, and have become my salvation. Glory to God. Oh, we give you glory, God. I just want you to take a moment right here. We're going to pray in a moment. I just began to give God thanks as the psalmist did for hearing. For hearing our prayers these last 21 days. Glory to God for hearing our prayers. Glory to the name of God. Even as we pray going forth, the Bible says even before we call, when you make up in your mind, oh my God, that you're going to pray and you're going to spend time, you know, focus on the word of God and pray his word and his will back to him, I would say it's already established. Is already done. Glory to God, glory to God. The answers have already been provided in his word. He says, I already taken care of it. I just need you to believe it. I just need you to trust. We bless you, Father. We bless you, Father. We thank you, we thank you. Uh, go really quickly with me to 1 Kings 17. I want to read there, then we're going to pray. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I hear you, Father. 1 Kings 17:1. Glory to God. We give you glory, God. We give you honor, we give you praise. Uh, 1 Kings 17:1. Oh, shy, my secret. Yes, God, I praise you. Now Elijah the Tishbite from Tishbe in Gilead said to Ahab, as the Lord, the God of Israel, lives whom I serve, there will be neither dew nor rain in the next few years except at my word. Oh my God. In the word of the Lord came to Elijah, verse 3, leave here, turn eastward and hide in Kerith Ravine east of Jordan. You will drink from the brook, and I have directed the ravens to supply you food there. Listen closely. Glory to God. Verse 5. So he did what the Lord said. He went to Kerith Ravine, east of Jordan, and he stayed there. Verse 6: The ravens brought him bread— oh my God— and meat in the morning— oh— and meat in the evening, and he drank— from the brook. Verse 7, sometime later the brook dried up because there had been no rain in the land. Glory to God, we give you praise, God. Uh, Joshua, and then we're going to pray. Joshua, Joshua 23. Glory to God, thank you, Father, thank you, Father. 23, and I think I want 14. Let's see. Yeah, I think 14. Yes, oh, we give you glory. Yeah, 23:14. The Bible says this: Now I'm about to go to the way of all the earth. You know with all your heart and soul that not one of the good promises the Lord your God gave you has failed. Everyone has been fulfilled. Not one has failed. Glory to God. Listen, as I— as we pray together this morning, I want us to really be, uh, take a close look at the history that we have with God and his inability to fail, and it's his promise, glory to God, to do exactly what he said. He cannot lie. And even like Elijah was in the midst of this drought, in this famine, there was no rain, no dew, no food. God gave him instructions to get to a place where he could be fed. And through the prophet's obedience to the instructions of God, while others— hear this— were experiencing drought while others were experiencing famine, God was honoring his promises and taking care of the man of God because of his obedience. So I want to pray today, glory to God, that we can activate the power of the good promises of God over our life as we take action As we move in obedience, as we trust God through faith, that good things will be permanently— hear me, permanently— oh, shantai, permanently activated in our lives. Oh God, oh shantai, God, we give you praise. So Father, first of all, we take authority over all powers over all rulers of darkness, of over spiritual wickedness in high places. And we declare Satan, the blood be against you this morning. No weapon formed against us can prosper. Oh my God, we break every power of the dark realm, and we command you this morning to die By fire. We say die, yeah, by fire. Hey, in the name of Jesus. God, we bind every demonic spirit that has been designed, yes God, to keep us in dry places. We bind you now. We rebuke you. We drive you out, and we command you to die by fire. And I declare over your people this morning that the drought is over. Yeah, I declare the drought is over. The drought has come to an end. Oh, yes, God, we declare it now. The drought is over. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I declare, I decree, declare no more dry seasons. No more dry seasons. No more Dry seasons. Oh, no more dry seasons. We bind you. Glory to God. And Father, today we take authority. Yes, Lord, according to your word. Yes, according to your word, over every demonic spirit that has been assigned to keep our families, our children, our marriages, our relationships, our destiny even, and our purpose in dry places. My God, in drought. Yeah, we bind up these dry places. And even as you instructed Elijah, and Elijah obeyed your word, So Father, I release a spirit of obedience that as we obey your word and do what you say, God, the drought— —will end. I declare the drought over our businesses, over our ministries. God, I declare that the drought is over. The drought is over. In the name of Jesus, I bind you, I rebuke you, and I command you to die by fire, you demon, you stronghold. You powerless weapon formed that cannot prosper. You have held the people of God in drought long enough. Yes, Lord. And Father, your word said in John 7:38 that if we believe on you, as the scripture has said, that out of our belly would flow rivers of living water. Rebebe Santa Babamansaya. And through our confidence and our belief in you, I declare this morning that out of our very belly Oh God, oh God, we'll begin to flow rivers of living water. Life-giving river will flow out of us. So why would we live in doubt? Yeah, when all we need to do is believe. Because doubt brings drought, belief releases rivers. So we bind up doubt, we bind up fear, we dry you up, we drown you in rivers— oh my God— of living water. Thank you, God. We bind up drought. That is born out of doubt. But Father, I release the spirit of confidence, the spirit of faith, the spirit of belief, that we'll trust you on all points. That we'll trust you in everything, God, and that no weapon formed against us will be able to prosper. I release belief, the spirit of faith, the force of faith in our life. Oh God, that we won't have doubt, that we won't have fear. Oh my God. Father, we take authority here right now in the name of Jesus. Over every spirit we inherited from generational curses, from things that were born out of our mothers' and our fathers' house. We bind those things up now from our family line. We bind them up. Oma, oshabamani oshaya. Rebuke you, we drive you out. We command you to die by fire. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Father, this morning we take authority over the spirit of pride, and we decree and declare that pride cannot dwell in our life. We thank you, God, that we operate in humility. I release now the anointing to be humble. Oh, to humble ourselves before the mighty hand of God, to your word, your plan. Oh my God, oh my God, we rebuke a proud look, a haughty spirit. We drive you out now. We command you to die by fire. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. You ought to worship him here now. You'll give him glory for victory. You'll give him glory for rivers. Yes, God, I hear you. I see it. I see it. Yeah, God. Yeah, God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I hear you, Father. We take authority. Yes, God, over every demonic force and spirit that comes to cause us to lose stability. In our businesses, in our ministry, in our finances, in our career. We drive you out. Yes, we rebuke you in the name of Jesus. And we command you to die by fire. Rokushka. Yes, God, we take authority now over every spirit. Yeah, yeah, that wants us to also lose stability in our relationships, in our marriage. We bind you, we rebuke you, we drive you out, we command you to die by fire, and we declare that our businesses, our professions, our careers, our ministries, our marriages, our relationships. We decree and declare now that we have stability in the Holy Ghost. Oh my God, oh my God. Yes God, yes God. Yeah, I pray for that, God. Yeah, we bind up every spirit. We take authority of every demonic force and diabolical scheme that wants us to run away, to flee, to operate in fear without confidence, to flee our calling, to flee our purpose, to flee our assignment. And not act confidently and boldly. But God, in the name of Jesus, we bind up this spirit of fear, this spirit of running away and not standing strong, standing through and standing tall. Oh my God. Yeah. And we release the spirit of confidence, God. Oh God, we release confidence. We bind every spirit right now in the name of Jesus that causes conflict and stress. In the name of Jesus that causes frustrations in our life, we bind that spirit up now. We take authority over it. We rebuke you. We drive you out. And we command you to die by fire. Oh God, Father, we take authority over every demon and every spirit. Yes, God. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, yes, yes. That wants us to lose our authority. In our geographical regions, in, in the places where we've been assigned to dominate. And every one of us, God, has a dominion mandate inside of us to dominate something. Oh God, yes. To take authority over something. And so, Father, we declare we won't lose the authority you gave us in certain regions, in certain places and spaces. God, we take that authority back in the name of Jesus, and we rebuke and bind every spirit that comes to strip us of our influence. Every gossiping demon, every whispering demon, every lying spirit. Yeah, we take authority over you now and rebuke you, Amancha, in the name that is above every name. And oh my God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Yes, God. Where am I? We give you glory. Oh, we take authority now. Yes, God. Yes, God. Over everything that comes in our life to stop promotion, increase, and expansion, we bind it up now in the name of Jesus. Over every demonic spirit that wants to keep us small, that wants to keep us from growing, that wants to keep us from increasing, that wants to keep us from expanding financially, in ministry, in business. God, we declare in the name of Jesus, we will be enlarged. We bind up that spirit of little, that spirit of small, and we release the spirit of big. In the— oh man, for you have thought big thoughts toward us. You have dreamed big dreams for us. Woo! And so, Father, we speak big, we speak enlarged. I declare that our territory is being enlarged now. Bless us indeed. Enlarge our territory. Oh God, we give you glory. I command that spirit to try to keep us bound to little thinking, little ideas. Oh my God, to keep us from expanding our horizons. I bind this spirit now. I rebuke you. I plead the blood of Jesus against you, and I command you to die by fire. In the name of Jesus. Yeah. And so, Father, we decree and declare that this week— yes, God— this month, this year, God, even as we concluded this fast, we declare that good things— we activate good things, and we declare that good things must happen to us. Glory to the name of God. Where our relationships and our marriages are concerned, glory to the name of God. In the name of Jesus, glory to God. We decree and declare that this week, this month, this year, glory to God, that good things will happen to us where our children are concerned. God, I love you. I love you, Father. I love you, Father. In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, we declare that our children are saved, our children are delivered, our children are healed, our children are sanctified, our children are filled with the Holy Spirit. Our children have kingdom purpose. And I decree and declare today that you set aside a kingdom-minded spouse for each one of our children. I declare that our children openly and boldly praise God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. That they don't miss it to the left nor to the right, but our children walk in the supernatural Kingdom purpose that you have designed and planned for them. In the name of Jesus, we declare and decree this day, this week, this month, this year. Glory to God! Woo! That good things must happen to us as far as our health is concerned. We decree and declare that you would above all things that we prosper and be in health even as our soul doth prosper. So I release the principle of soul prosperity in our life. May we increase in our mind, our will, and our emotion. I declare it now. I declare, God, that our psuke life, our psychological way of thinking, will prosper. We will think bigger. We will think larger. We bind mediocrity. Oh God. Oh my God. Today. Oh God, I bless you, I bless you, I bless you. And I decree and declare today, yes God, I'm activating good things for us today. You'll just receive it and activate them out of your mouth. Good things. The Bible said no good thing will he withhold from those that walk upright for him and in him. We are upright creatures. We're up, we walk upright, we live upright. So as long as we're upright, God says, I will not withhold good things. It's his word, it's his promise. We put confidence in that, and I decree and declare good things concerning our purpose, concerning our destiny, in the name of Jesus. Father, you said many other plans in a man's heart, nevertheless, it's the purpose of the Lord that stands forever. So we release good things concerning our God-given purpose and your plan for our life. Oh God, I decree and declare that this week, this month, this year, and beyond, good things for our business. And those that don't have a business, I activate entrepreneurship on this prayer. Call this morning. I decree and declare that the spirit of entrepreneurship is stirred up in you today in the name of Jesus, that your dreams will live and you will not— punch clocks and work for other people. I decree and declare that good things will emerge out of your life through entrepreneurship. You own it. Good things, good things, good things, good things. No good thing— I need you to hear the promise this morning— no good thing, no good thing will he withhold. Yeah, I hear you, Father. He said to tell you the good things What I love you, you're already yours. Let me pull into this camera. The good things I prophesy to you today, the good things are already yours. He just needs you to do the other part of the promise: prosper in your soul, in your mind, the way you think, your will, in your desires and your emotions. That's why we was teaching about conflict. Conflict is an emotional thing that comes to rob you of good things. Father, I declare that we are moving in the goodness of God. Oh, I release the goodness of God. In the land of the living. Glory to God. Yeah, I hear that. I hear Apostle Davis's voice saying, the only place death is legal is in the cemetery. I hear his voice so clear in my left ear saying, the only place death is legal is in the cemetery. So we bind up death, and I command you to live today in the name of Jesus. And I command you to live good, and I release the goodness of God in the land of the living. The goodness of God in the land of the living. I prophesy over you, good things are coming. Good things are coming! Good things are coming! Good things are coming! Good things are coming! Good things are coming! Receive it! Good things are coming! Good things are coming! Good things are coming in the name of Jesus! Come on, position yourself, get ready, receive it— they are here! Oh my God, I love you! I decree and declare that this week, this month, this year, yes God, according to your word, that good things, yes God, must happen to us. Oh yeah, concerning the possession of real estate, the possession of property. Yeah, I decree and declare that if you're renting, that now you will move into a season of owning. I decree and declare that if you want property, if you want land, if you want houses, I decree and declare that the spirituality of land ownership, of possessing the land, that it fall into your hands now, and that you will transition from renting to owning. I declare it in the name of Jesus. I declare it for Rhoda Church. Right now, in the name of Jesus, I declare our church will never ever again rent a building. Never ever again. Never ever again. It is an extreme waste of money, and it is not the will of God for us to be renting as a church and for you to be renting as an individual. I declare that you will possess the land. Today, this week, this month. Y'all, man, God told the Israelites so many times, possess the land, possess the land, which means take possession. Here it is, of what's already yours. The land is already yours. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, them and they that dwell therein. So Father, we receive our inheritance of the earth. We're receiving land for our ministry, land for our business, land for our dwelling places. Receive properties. Woo! Oh my God, in the name of Jesus, Lord have mercy. I decree and declare. Yeah, yeah, here we go. I decree and declare according to your word You said that you have brought us into— in fact, let me, let me just, let me just read that and then we're going to pray because I don't want you to think I'm making this up, but I just heard the Holy Spirit say— glory to God! Yes God, let's go! Psalms 66:12. Again, I read the B clause first, but I'm gonna read the A clause. Watch this. The 8th clause says his plans for us are good, and when he brings us out, this is where he causes us to end up. Watch this. But thou has brought us into A wealthy place. Oh my God, oh my God, I'm not making this stuff up. But the wealthy place doesn't just relate to money. Hear this, glory to God, it relates to much more than that. It relates to freedom, a place of rest. My God, rich relief according to the Hebrew word, liberty, abundant prosperity, overflowing abundance. Watch this, of land and resources. It means perpetual prosperity, which means you'll never be without again. Oh my God, Father, I declare good things, the wealthy place. I release the wealthy place over us today. I decree this month, this year, this day, this week for the rest of our lives, transition us through faith and obedience into our wealthy place, to freedom, to rest, to rich relief. Woo! To liberty, no more debt, to abundant prosperity, meaning there won't be nothing you need on earth that you can't afford. Oh God, nothing you need for your children, for your family, for your business, for ministry that you won't be able to afford. God, I receive the wealthy place today and I declare it over your people. He has brought us in my— into a wealthy place. I need you to receive this. I need you to receive this. Amashiantabaya. So we declare today, God, that you have a wealthy place for us. Yeah, matter of fact, I want you to confess it out loud yourself. I want you to say it with me because I don't want you to miss this. I want you to decree this in the name of Jesus. Say, dear Lord, I thank you. Come on, that you have a wealthy place for me. Come on, say it with your mouth, say it with your lips, say it with your chest. Say, in the name of Jesus. Come on again. I believe that you have a wealthy place for me according to scripture. Say, a place that is spacious, a place that brings freedom, a place that brings rest, a place that brings rich liberty. Oh God, a place that brings abundant prosperity, a place that brings overflowing abundance. You gotta stop living with me, God. Privileged saints, we got to stop having holy hands and empty pockets. And jumping and shouting, speaking in tongues, and we don't have no peace, and we're bound by debt, and we're frustrated and angry when God has given us a wealthy place. Oh my God! Say, in the name of Jesus, I give you praise for bringing me out of bondage and setting me free. From poverty. Say, I thank you, Lord, for bringing me into my wealthy place, in Jesus' name. I need you to receive that. Oh my God, it's the word of the living God. Glory to God. Glory to God. Oh my God, this is God's desire. He wants to bring you into a wealthy place. So Father, we thank you. I love the word. Glory to God. So Father, we decree and declare Hallelujah! That this month, this year, this week, this day, and beyond— yes, God, that good things must happen for our church. Yeah, I pray for the ministries you've given us, that they will grow and that they will increase. And that you will add to the church daily such as would be saved. What a good thing that would be. I thank you, God, that we'll do a good thing by evangelizing, by sharing the gospel, by winning the lost, that we'll have a boldness and a passion to reach people who need your love, who need your kindness, who need your favor. I thank you, God, that you'll do good things for our church, and many will be delivered and healed and set free. Thank you that the power of God will rest in our meetings. Yes, God, and lives will be forever changed and transformed because of your authority. I declare it in the name of Jesus. Good things for our church. I declare you will give us property and a building for our ministry. I decree and declare, God, and even those ministries that may be praying with me today, I declare over those churches, over those ministries, that you will do good things for those ministries in the name of Jesus. To God, I give you glory. I will do it. I will do it. I love you. I love you. Yes, God, thank you for what you're doing. I decree and declare that this month, this year, this week, this day and beyond. I thank you that each of us have tapped into a greater anointing of prophetic words. Yes, God, where the words spoken over our life, not only will we hear them, but we'll absorb them and begin to be a living epistle of their reality. Woo! And that true prophecy will begin to change the facts and override carnal facts in our life, and we will move in truth. We embrace the prophetic words we prayed today, and we embrace good things We thank you, God, that everything bad is under the curse, and we're no longer cursed. We're no longer under the curse of the law. Everything bad is under the curse. You have redeemed us, bought us back from the curse of the law. Yeah, God. So we receive the good things that you have promised us in our home, in our family, in our children, in our workplace, in our marriage, in our business, in our ministry, in our purpose, in our destiny. In the name of Jesus, we love you. Come on, worshiper, come on, just begin to bless him for his goodness, for his mercy and his grace. We thank you, God. We bless you, God. We bless you. We give you glory. We give you honor. We give you praise. Father, hear our prayer today, and we thank you for these 21 days of praying together corporately. I decree and declare that it won't end here, that your people will practice this behavior daily. We will rise up and seek your face early, and your glory will be revealed. Father, I long for the day that when we're in our own facility where we can actually come together physically, in person, corporately, early. And seek your face. And we can have citywide 5 AM prayer meetings to bring the city together to pray for our city. And God, I thank you that even in those meetings, many will be born again and liberated and set free because we seek you early. We bless you, God, and we honor you, and we give you glory, and we give you praise. Thank you for these 21 days. I pray, God, that as we said it in the beginning, to fast for action, that we may take action. It won't just be hearers of your word but doers. And we have fasted for fire. Let the fire of God fill our life and consume everything that's not like you. God, I give you praise. I give you praise. Thank you, God, that after these 21 days, I declare it and I decree it in the name of Jesus, we will seek you better. We're going to serve you better. It's, it's happening already. We're going to share you better. And we thank you for that. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Hallelujah. Listen, guys, I love you so much, and I'm so grateful for you and your commitment. You know, some of you have not missed one day of these 21 days, and that's commendable. Glory to the name of God. Because some of you were stretching you, it was pushing you, uh, beyond, you know, certain norms, but you still chose to be diligent. And the Bible said the diligent soul shall be made fat. I want to thank every one of you that have been dedicated, glory to the name of God, to this time. Glory to the name of God. And I know your lives have been changed. Someone was telling me Sunday how even in their physical body they feel good and feel better because they've been keeping this fast. And I personally can attest to that. Listen, before we go, when I was praying, I heard the Lord say something to me, and I'm gonna do— I'm gonna do exactly what he told me to do, and I want you to hear me out. We read the text in Psalm 66:12. God says he's bringing us into a wealthy place, and I need you to receive that. And, and as a sign and as a symbol, I need you to create a path to unlock the directives into this place, to unlock the clarity and the actions that are going to take you into this place. And I always tell you guys, nothing leaves heaven until something leaves Earth. There's got to be a sacrifice that leaves the Earth. Jesus was the sacrifice. He exemplified it. God gave his Son, and the harvest is us being saved. You got to sow into that word this morning. And not just because I really— I haven't raised the offering in 5 o'clock prayer since we've been praying for 21 days, and Yeah, I don't like asking people for money, but I have to because it's the only way you're going to get a breakthrough. It really is. It really is. I do it because I'm trying to get something to you. I'm trying to teach you how to unlock a trajectory where money is never an issue. That happens when you are consistent. So finding every person under the sound of my voice, whether live or by replay, I need you to get a seed of $66.12, and I need you to get it in the, in the ground. Glory to God, right now. Glory to God, get in the ground. Listen, for this day is out, you need to get that. The ways to give are scrolling at the bottom. You need to get that seed in the ground because this faith offering is going to shift the trajectory. You're aligning your giving with your believing. You believe Psalm 66:12, right? He's brought us out of drought, he's brought us out of the dry places. The word of the Lord was released over your life, glory to God, that there will be no more dry season. Release that trajectory that you don't have financial drought another day. I'm going to participate in this seed myself as I always do. I never tell you to do things that I don't believe. I believe this is God. Now, I was listening to two people last night having a conversation about sowing, uh, on YouTube. And I was listening to one man said that he was prompted in a meeting he was in because of a need the church he was at had to sow a seed of $100,000. And he released the seed without his touch. Bam! Then I heard another man say, well, if he's sowing $100,000, all I have in the bank is $150,000, but I trust God. And if I do what God is saying, I'm gonna put $100,000 in the ground too so we can meet the need in this church. Oh my God, he sold the $100,000. He had 50 $100,000 left. And then he went to another meeting— watch this— 30 days later, and his account had went down to like $32,000. Someone asked for a $20,000 seed. He had not received a return on the $100,000 seed yet. He put the $30,000 seed in the ground. Within 2 months, he got a harvest on both seeds. His bank account had $1.5 million in it. See, you don't know what God is doing when you obey. And some of you flinched at this, and some of you ain't gonna give no matter what I say, and I get it. But that's why you're stuck. I, I, I love you, but that's why you have financial issues. That's why things are hard, because you don't obey when it comes to give. But you need to trust God. I'm just saying, I, I do this, guys, because out of obedience to God and because I love you. Get your seed in the ground. 6612 is scrolling at the bottom of the screen. However you choose to do it, you want to Zelle, you can Zelle us at info@rodderchurch.com. That money goes straight into our church's account. God wants to set this projectory toward the wealthy place. I didn't sit down and make this up. Matter of fact, the things I was going to pray didn't come to me until I sat down in this studio, because I got up running trying to get here. I was running late. My wife came and woke me up at 5 minutes to 5 because my alarm went off and I didn't— and it wasn't It was on silent apparently. So when I sat down, the Lord began to speak to me about what to pray. So everything we do, nothing is staged, nothing is planned, no tricks, there are no gimmicks. This is the Lord trying to set a trajectory for you toward your wealthy place. Get this seed in the ground on this last day of this fast. Solidify that your life will be without strife and that your life will be full of confidence and you'll seek God more, serve God more, share God more, and that the fire of God will flow out of your life to consume death. You'll move into— what a way to end this last prayer together during the fast and get a seed in the ground. Listen, if you gotta call 10 people, look, I need you to give me, not borrow, give me $7. I got something I gotta do for the Lord. Lord's gonna bless me, and when he blesses me, I'm gonna bless you. Whatever you gotta do, get that seed in the ground today. Trust him by faith and watch what he does. I love you guys. I want you to listen very carefully to something while we're sowing, while we're giving. While we're trusting God. Listen very carefully, hear me. No 12 noon teaching today at noon. I said this early in the fast. Matter of fact, day one I said this. We're gonna close out tonight at 8 o'clock because what I want to do is give you an opportunity to share how the fast has blessed you. We're going to teach, and so we're doing it live. I'm gonna give you an opportunity to share how this fast has been a blessing to you. There's going to be a special link that if you want to share your testimony, I'm going to send that link out to everybody. You can log into the live stream through that link. What it's going to do is put you inside of the virtual studio. You'll be inside of this studio on screen on camera with me, uh, during the live stream to all platforms, and you'll be able to share your testimony. So that, that link will go out sometime this morning, uh, so that you can get familiar with— you'll log into the StreamYard platform, uh, it'll have all the instructions. You'll be inside the virtual studio with us, and we're going to testify to how good the fast has been to us. All right, so no 12 noon, 8 o'clock Eastern Standard Time tonight. We'll be right here live with you to close out day number 21 of 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer. We love you guys, and y'all have a good day. God is so good, he's so kind, he's so mighty. Thank you again for joining me this morning. Get that seed in the ground, do it. In Jesus' name, amen.
