Chapters
Well, grace and peace and a pleasant good morning, everyone. This is the day the Lord has made. This is Dr. Michael Lyris Woods, and I shall rejoice and be glad in this day. I pray you're well. I pray you slept well. Uh, welcome to 5 AM Prayer. Uh, this is our fast day for Tuesday, uh, the 29th of April. In the year of our Lord. Glory to God, 2025. Um, we're going to jump right into this this morning. I want to pray this morning about submission. Glory to God. And the Bible says that Jesus gave this prayer to the disciples when they came to him and said, Lord, teach us how to pray. And, um, he began to break down these various facets. And there's a particular facet of the Lord's Prayer, or this model prayer— not the Lord's Prayer, the model prayer— where Jesus, glory to the name of God, says, thy will be done, thy will be done. On earth as it is in heaven. And so this, this really deals with submission. Uh, his will has been accomplished. We just went through, uh, Passion Week. We've been teaching, glory to God, about being proof that his resurrection is real. We're, we actually being the living proof that resurrection is real for real. So how we show up in the world, we show up in resurrection power, and we advance the kingdom of God. So today I want to pray about submitting to that will, man, you know, submitting to God's plan, God's desire for our life. If you, if you're just joining us, guys, please share this, um, like, comment below, let us know that you are here. Uh, glory to the name of God. Again, a pleasant good morning to everyone. Uh, but if you're just joining us, please share. So this morning we're going to pray Praise the name of Jesus. About submission, and we're gonna, you know, pray like we always pray. Glory to God. On these live streams, we pray the word. Glory to God. So we're going to read a few passages of scriptures, and we're going to pray those scriptures. Glory to God. And we're going to trust God that as we pray, glory to God, his will, his desire, his plans will be made manifest in our life. Glory to God. So I want you to take a moment just right where you are. Glory to God. And just begin to worship him. Father, we love you. Father, we glorify you. Father, we magnify you. We lift you up. We thank you for your anointing. Holy Spirit of God, we bless you. We honor you. Holy Spirit, we lift your name on high. Jesus, we declare you a Lord. And God, your word says if you be lifted up from the earth, you will draw all men unto you. And so, Father, even as we lift you up and give your name the praise and give your name the glory, Father, we thank you that the anointing would just begin to superimpose itself upon us even as we read your word and as we pray your word. Father, we thank you for the auspices of the Holy Spirit. May the Holy Spirit lead us and guide us and navigate us through this time of prayer. And I pray that every person who has made a sacrifice to be here, uh, up at 5, whether live or by replay, I decree and declare that there'll be an anointing release especially for them, God, and that you will touch them right where they are and that they won't be the same. The same. I declare they won't be the same. Matter of fact, we call on ancient wells of heaven of living water. Ancient wells, ancient wells of living water. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. We thank you for ancient wells, and we thank you that that water is flowing out of our life. Oh, Rebe Samande, That water is flowing out of our lives even now. In the mighty name of Jesus, we declare to be so. Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God. We're going to Matthew, we're praying the word, and we're praying again about submission. Thy will be done. Yeah, God, thy will be done, Father, and we submit to the will you present. Glory to God. Uh, Matthew chapter number 6, we're just going to read that, uh, verses 9 and 10. Glory to God. The Bible says, thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Uh, I read 10 first, so I'll read verse 9. After this manner, therefore pray ye, our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Hallelujah! We give you glory, God. So let's pray that. Glory to God. Let's pray that the kingdom of God would come, uh, which it has already come, but let's pray that it will emerge and manifest in our life. It will come upon us. Glory to God. It will be superimposed in our life. And as that kingdom comes, that authority, that rule, that reign of God Hallelujah! That now the will of God— so no longer will we chase our own agendas, right? We will chase the agenda of the King. Glory to God! We will chase the decrees of the King, the laws, the principles, the things he has spoken, the things he has said. These are the things we will run after. Thy will be done. Hallelujah! Let's pray. Glory to God. So Father, we give you praise and we thank you for this word in Matthew. Glory to the name of God. 6, verses 10, 9 and 10. And we thank you for your kingdom, God, for you told us in your word that the kingdom of God is within us. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. You said the kingdom of God is within us. So when we have received you, not only have you moved in, but you brought your entire kingdom with you. And so now, Lord, in light of that, we pray this morning that we will submit to your rule, will submit to your authority. Yes, God. And we pray, God, that we will recognize that there is a king inside of us. His kingdom is inside of us, and we have access to your resources, Father. We have access to your way of doing and being right. And so, Father, because of that, my God, hallelujah, we thank you that we don't lack a thing, neither do we have a care. We thank you that our needs are met. We thank you that when we need healing, our bodies are healed. We thank you that our families are entrusted to you. We thank you, God, for wealth. We thank you, God, for the wealthy place. We thank you that the wealth of the king, the glory of the king, The lifespan of our King, yes, which is eternal, lives in us. And because the King lives in us, we have life and we have it more abundantly. So we submit to this idea of kingdom living. We submit to the idea of advancing the kingdom of God. Hallelujah. And bringing the kingdom of God forth with such power and such authority. Gloshia, mamoshia. Tata bai ki ushi ata. Yes, God, that every person we encounter will have a living encounter with Jesus Christ. And so we praise you for it. And Father, we thank you that as we move in kingdom principle, as we operate under the kingdom way of doing things, the kingdom way of giving and receiving, the kingdom way— glory to the name of God, of who trust and faith the kingdom way. Glory to God, walking in joy. Glory to God, and living a holy and righteous life the kingdom way. As we embrace the kingdom way of, of working, how we approach business— excuse me— how we approach business. Glory to God, how we approach, my God, this morning, how we approach, uh, our day-to-day activities, God. We will live as citizens of the kingdom, and we thank you that your will will be done because we are subjective to it and we're obedient to it, God. Every prophetic utterance over our life, God, we submit to it. We say that Precious Lord, we honor you. Hallelujah. Precious God, we lift you up. We give you the glory, God. Devil, you're a liar. We bless you. We bless your name, God. We give you the glory, God. We give you the honor. Hallelujah! We bless you, God, and we honor you. We bless you and we honor you, God. We bless you and we honor you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. We bless you, Father. We bless you, Father. We praise your name. We praise your name. made us to be, God. In the Manso Rabaki Sataya, let us be what you've made us to be. And we give you glory, God. We give you honor. We give you praise. We lift you up. We exalt you. We bless you, God. We give you glory, God. We give you honor. We thank you, God. We thank you. We thank you, God. We thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your mercy, God. We thank you for your grace. We thank you for your plan. We thank you for your favor. Obasan de de de kasiaya. We thank you, God, that beside you there is no other. We are your workmanship and we're created to good works. So God, as we surrender to you, as we surrender to your plan, God, we declare we will do good works, profitable works, works that represent your love, works that represent your power, works that represent your kingdom. We declare it, God. We will, mm, do good works in the name of Jesus. And thank you, God. So we surrender, we surrender, We surrender, we submit ourselves to you, God, as we pray about submission this morning. God, we thank you, we thank you, dear Jesus. Woo-wee! Thank you, God. We bless you, we bless you, and we honor you, God, and we praise you, and we magnify your name. You're so good, you're so gracious, God, you're so wonderful. Romans 12, glory to God. We're praying about submission. Family, Romans 12. Hashia, yeah, cast the devil out of the mind, break down every stubborn will. We, we command every stronghold of the mind to be cast down. We pull it down in the name of Jesus. I declare you are great, you are valuable. You're greater than anything the enemy would throw at you and try to remind you of your has and try to make you feel as if, letaba so ronkisa ta, you're not worthy of what God wants to do and what he is doing in your life. I declare you are worthy. I don't know who that was for, but the, the, yeah, man, the warfare you've been fighting, glory to the name of God, hallelujah, you win and you shall live and not die. Oh God, in the name of Jesus, urabashatai. I bless you, God. Yes, yes, yes. Romans 12:2: And be not conformed to this world, but be ye transformed by the renewing, the redoing of your mind, that you may prove, that you may be proof. Glory to God. Of what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. So we become proof again of his resurrected power. Hallelujah! That we allow him to renew our mind, to redo our mind. Anakinosis in Greek, and, and this word literally means to redo it, to deconstruct what was there and rebuild— glory to the name of God— purpose, rebuild plans in your life. So let's pray that. So Father, we Thank you. Hallelujah. That we're not conformed to this world. Father, we say transform our mind. We come and we present our bodies living sacrifices, holy and acceptable unto God, which is our reasonable service. And God, we say we are not conformed, we are not in agreement, in congruency with the ways of the world, with the system of the world. We're We are not subjugated to the world's way of doing things, the world's way of operation. Therefore, we, the governments of the world and the players in the world have no impact. The gatekeepers can't stop us from moving in your purpose because, oh my God, your gate is the greatest of all gates. Hallelujah. And so God, we thank you that you control the Kingdom Gate and we submit commit to your will, and we rebuild our mind, we redo our mind. Glory to the name of God. So that we can become as you— and your word says, as a man thinks, so is he. And you said, let this same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. And so, Father, we receive the mind of God. Oh, Shabbat. My God, today we receive your mind. We surrender our mind. We give it up so that thy will can be done. Be done. Yeah, yeah. We submit, God, to your thought process. And God, that we think like you, because because as a man thinks, so is he. We will become like you. Hallelujah. We will operate like you. And so, Father, open ourselves up to receive word, to receive what we need, God. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So that we can thrive, so that we can operate at high levels of victory. Victory in Jesus' name. Yes, God. 1 Thessalonians 4. Hallelujah. We give God praise. We give God glory. Let us see. We give him the honor. Yes, God. 1 Thessalonians 4. We're praying the word and we're praying this morning about submission. Thy will be done. Yes, in our life. Thy— not, not our— not your agenda, not your plans. This is about surrendering all to him. Glory to God. And allowing him to have complete, total control. Hear me, in your life. Thank you, God. Eba sa. We bless you, we bless you. Hallelujah. And we honor you. Glory to God. Uh, 1 Thessalonians 4, verse number 5. Glory to God, we bless your great name. Hey yeah, God is so good, God is so good, he's so kind. I feel Jesus, y'all, I promise you I do. 1 Thessalonians 4 and 5, the Bible said that every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honor. So Paul is saying to the Saints at Thessalonica that it's important. The first 3 verses, he's talking to them about fornication, about abstaining from fornication, about operating in sanctification. Uh, he's dealing with them about following the Commandments and the laws of the kingdom that Jesus presented. He said you got to do this so that Hallelujah. You can possess your vessel in honor and sanctification. So possessing your vessel, what is that, Michael? Uh, kafouk, kephaiomai, K-F-A-O-I-M-A-I in Greek. And, and, and it literally means— this word is so power— powerful. It means to acquire or to take on oneself. So you already have a set of challenges— your body, soul, and spirit. Your spirit got saved, so there are things in your soul, in your, your life process. Glory to God. And all of these things are in your vessel, your body, your, your, your body is the actual vessel, but inside of the vessel, your body is carrying your soul and your spirit. So the Bible says, take on those spirits, those things that war against you. Take on, uh, those old lifestyles, those behaviors, those thought processes that don't align with God. He said that you might be able to move Sanctification. Sanctification simply means to be set aside, set apart, so you may live as one set apart, that you may present yourself to the world differently and bring honor to God. That's so good. Verse 5, he said, not in the lust of concupience, even as the Gentiles which know not God. Let's just pray this, man. Father, we thank you, and we thank you for saving our soul. We thank you for moving into our life. So Father, we just give you praise for the knowledge of how to possess our vessel. Yeah, how to possess this vessel, how to bring this body under subjection. For Paul said, I can preach to others, let's— if I— but if I don't bring my body under subjection, I myself could be a castaway. So Father, I'm praying to this morning, this at 5:00 AM, that you will help every person under the sound of my voice, live or by replay, that you will help them, God, to bring their body under subjection. And even as we fast today May we acknowledge the areas in our vessel that we need to possess, that we need to take on. Glory to God. That we need to destroy and mortify. Glory to God. So that we can operate in sanctification and in honor and not move in lust and in concupience, which is literally desire, craving, and long for, so much so that we'll do anything to satisfy that craving. God, we rebuke concupiscence today. We rebuke lust. We rebuke desires and cravings that are not of you, God. We rebuke deceitful lust. Oh my God, they will try to draw us into things that you didn't design. They will try to draw us into things that you did not plan, God. And we give you praise, eh, mashibo koramansiaya, that we have the victory in this area, God, that we will not go after forbidden things like the Gentiles who don't know God. But God, because we know you, will bring this body under and we'll become a holy vessel. One of honor and one not of shame. God, we want to be one of your holy vessels, one of honor. Yes, God, and not of shame. God, we give you praise, we give you glory. Let the light of God, Hamashiach, flow through us for real. Yeah, yeah. So that we stop playing the grace card, but really wanna please you and be people of honor and sanctification. Yeah, we love you, God. And we give you praise. Psalms 143:10, we're praying the word, we're praying by submission. Thy will be done. Yeah. On earth as it is in heaven. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Glory to God. Psalm 143. Glory to God. Stay with me. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Wonderful Savior. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Psalm 143 and verse number 10. We're praying the word, we're praying about submission. Praise God. Hallelujah! Bless his name. Shaddai, bless his name. Psalm 143:10 says, it says, teach me to do thy will. When we're praying about submission, thy will be done. So interesting enough, here the psalmist says to God, teach me, uh, lamad in Greek. Hallelujah. Cause me to be trained. Lamad means to train. Glory to God. Train me to do thy will. So, oh, this is good, because will is— will is a Septuagint translation of a Greek word, thehelia, uh, called rachon. Which literally means to do what pleases you or what brings you delight or what brings you pleasure. So wait a minute, so let's, let's just unpack it before we pray it. He says, teach me to do what delights you, teach me to do what brings you pleasure. So here we go. A lot of people, particularly in the church— this is to us— don't want to do the will of God, the thing in their life that brings them pleasure. Wait a minute, because they have not been trained to do so. They have not been trained to understand what his will is for them and what they need to be doing, uh, whether it be professionally in the area of their purpose, whether it be through their lifestyle, their behavior. People are scared to discuss these things these days because they fear offending people. So what we'll just say, oh, you got grace, and, and people feel this freedom to do what they want to do, when in reality, glory to the name of God, if you want to have heaven on earth, you got to be trained to do his will, because God is holy, God is pure. So God is not going to show up hear me, in impure lives. And I'm not just talking about you doing the quote-unquote noticeable sins. I'm talking about anywhere you're missing the mark, you're creating impurity. And to be honest with you, there are a whole lot of people who are consistently missing the mark. They may not be fornicating, committing adultery, lying, or cheating, but they ain't walking in purpose. So That's not— God's not pleased with that. So you got to be trained on how to discover purpose. You got to be trained on how to discover his will. And if preachers won't teach it, if preachers won't preach it, and if you don't understand how to spend time with the Holy Spirit so he can train you as well, because the Bible said he will lead you and guide you— Holy Spirit, he will lead you and guide you into all truth. So if you really want to know the truth about you, two things have to happen. You got to be in a culture where you can be trained, taught through leadership on how to do things that bring pleasure to God other than shout, other than worship and cry at church. Come on, man. Other than attend church. Come on. Because some preachers, that's all they want you to do. They want you to attend church with your checkbook. I'm so gay, I don't care about that. What I want you to do is attend church. I want you to show up in the world, and I want you to live right. I want you to be trained in doing the things that bring pleasure to God. That's, that's important. As a matter of fact, I said it Sunday, the most important thing is not what happens when we in that room. The most important thing is what happens when we leave that room. Yeah, okay, okay. So, so the psalmist said, train me to do what brings you pleasure. So a lot of people don't give God pleasure because they ain't been trained, they've been taught. Hallelujah, glory to God. So we got, we gotta do this, man. He said, for thou art my God, your spirit is good, lead me into the land of uprightness. So David said, look, my life don't look like yours, so I need you to train me so my life look like yours, so that my life reflects who you are, so my life reflects the fact, one, that you are my God and that your spirit is good. That when he says this in this verse— God, I didn't want to get into teaching this— tov, it means that your pleasure, your spirit is pleasant and agreeable. It's good, it's rich, it's of high value. That's what tov means. It's appropriate, it's glad, it's happy, it's intellectual. So he said, look, I want my life to reflect you. You know what happens? Thy will be done. So, so this is— this training is happening right now, and some, some you're being taught it. Glory to God. Every time I'm teaching the word, I, I'm, I'm trying to train you to do things that delight him. Glory to God. Watch this. He says, you're gonna lead me to the land of uprightness. What in the world is he talking about? He says, you're gonna lead me into level country, you're gonna lead me into balanced living. Shor in Hebrew, where my life is balanced on both ends. Glory to the name of God. Where I'm happy, where I know how to exist in the world and operate in the power of God in the world. I ain't got to hide out in, in church, I ain't got to hide behind a religious mask, but I can open and bold with who I am in God, and I can live effectively for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Oh my God, are we here? Are we here? Glory to God. Let's pray, let's pray. Yeah, because I'll start teaching that. Let's pray. Lord, we thank you, we thank you, Father, we thank you, God. And we say like the psalmist, teach Teach us to do thy will. Train us, God, to live daily. Even as we fast today, God, we're asking you to visit with us and train us, God, and talk to us more about us. Because like the psalmist said, you are our God. Your spirit is good. Your spirit is delightful, it's pleasant, it's rich, it's wealthy. It's agreeable. Your spirit is full of joy. Your, your spirit is peaceful. Your spirit carries great power. So God, we want our life like the psalmist to reflect who you are to us at every turn, at every corner. God, let our lives reflect who you are to us. And Father, we say be there. And Father, we say get the glory out of our life. And Father, we say, oh my God, that we are blessed in the city, we're blessed in the field, we're blessed when we come and we're blessed when we go home. Because God, we operate like you, we surrender to your will. Oh my God, I'm almost done, family. Glory to God. Ephesians 1. 1 and verse number 4. Somebody said, well, we were already in Ephesians earlier, Apostle, why are we going back there now? Because I'm giving you these in the order the Holy Spirit gives them to me, so we're praying them in that order. Praise God. So it ain't— that's not how he gave them to me, he gave them to me in this order. I'm giving them to you. Glory to God. Ephesians 1 and verse 4, you'll find this intelligence. The Bible says, according as he has chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love. Wait a minute, we're talking about submission, right? So when I'm operating in high levels of submission, glory to God, I am not— hear me, family— I am not living a raggedy life. I'm not living a life, glory to God, that's out of control, that's out of alignment with God's plan. If I really have been chosen by him, I'm reading the Bible. This ain't made up stuff. He said according, symphaneo in Greek, so in alignment. Glory to the name of God. Not out of him, but not, not some random thing, but I am actually aligned with him because he chose me and you and I in him before we were ever in our mama's belly. Jeremiah 1:5, before we were formed in our belly, he knew us. So we were elected, selected, and protected before we got in our mama's belly to live holy, without blame, before him in love. So holiness has become a bad word, and that's crazy in the body of Christ, because again, everybody wants this license just to be free-willing. And as my wife would say, and do what they want to do. But the reality is that's not— we don't have a license to sin. We, we should be living as a reflection of him again, because in accordance to what he chose us to be. So if you're in God, you were chosen to live a life that's holy and without blame. All right. God, and before him, not before people, before him. So I should be out here practicing the things that he loves again. So let's pray this. So Father, we thank you that you've chosen us before the foundation of the world. And God, I pray this morning that every person under the sound of my voice will align themselves with the life you chose them. Father, you chose for us a life of health, a life of strength. We don't choose sickness, we choose healing and deliverance. We don't choose poverty, we choose what you aligned for us, God. We choose wealth and riches, God. We don't choose confusion, God, we choose— oh my, she couldn't— we choose solace. We choose serenity, God. We choose peace, the presence of your assistance, Father. We don't choose drama. We don't choose— oh my God, uh, ah, God— things that bring us down and things that make us dependent and despondent and things that frustrate us. We choose the joy of the Lord, which is our strength. We choose purpose. We should— we choose a life of purpose, a life of significance and authenticity, not fakeness and suitableness, God, because you've chosen us authentically. So we align with that authentic masterpiece you have made us, God. Woo! You chose us to be masterpieces. We are your workmanship. Let that flow out of our lives. God. And Father, I pray for the spirit of holiness, that it will rest upon your people. And as it rests upon your people, it will come through us into the land. We submit to holiness. Glory to God. We submit to righteousness in the mighty name of Jesus. Yeah, we're praying for submission, family. We're going to Galatians 1. 1 and 4. So that was Ephesians 1 and 4. So let's go to Galatians 1 and 4. Glory to God. Tell me, I know you say, well, you could have went to Galatians first. No, it's before— listen, once again, I'm giving you these, glory to God, like God gave them to me. So Galatians 1 and 4. Glory to God. Galatians 1 and 4. Hallelujah, hallelujah. The Bible says, whoosh, aya, who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world according to the will of God and our Father. Oh my God. So the reason Jesus died, it's not for you to be out here doing what you want to do. So the next time you have a choice before you, you're gonna always have those choices to do something good or to do what's wrong in that regard. And when you got those choices before you, hear me, family, I challenge you this morning. Somebody says, too early for this, Apostle. No, it ain't. Listen, this is what we fasting for— crucify the flesh, man. When you got those things, when you a choice to gossip and talk about somebody or to lie when you could tell the truth. Put it before you and think about the fact that he died so you could be delivered from this evil world, so you don't have to do the things everybody else is doing, so you could be noticeably different. Oh God. So that when you step into a dark situation, it's not because you dress different. There's obviously that, okay, that, that's a whole nother message for another day. It— what's in your heart is what's going to exude out of your behavior. So you got to get this thing in your heart that he died for my sins. So while I'm still sinner. I mean, will you believe that for real? And somebody actually— when you think about the, the magnitude of death, there should be a gratitude that comes back to the one that died for you, because now you thinking about them, how magnanimous and how great, hallelujah, his death was. You have to— ooh-wee— respect that, man. And you have to accept that as fact. He died for you. And so when you think about that, ain't nothing to do but right, man. Somebody died for you. Somebody died for me. We gotta look at it like he died so we can be delivered, so that we can operate according to the will of the Father. Oh boy, oh boy, we owe him that. Ephesians 1:5. And so, so you say, Apostle, you were just in Ephesians 1:4, why are you going back to 5? Because this the order. Hear me, God gave me the scriptures here, so this is why we reading them this way. Hallelujah. You should be praying anyway, stop worrying about how I'm reading these scriptures. Let's— we're praying these scriptures in a certain order. Glory to the name of God, because it's how Holy Spirit gave him to me. Hallelujah. 1:5, watch this. He says, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children. Wait a minute, let's talk about that. So we were predestined before you ever got here, before you ever done it. Oh my. Just a little technical difficulty, family. Trying to pay it no attention. You're gonna read this last scripture, we're gonna be out of here. Hallelujah! I pray you're being blessed this morning. The devil is a liar, we win! Glory to God! The last scripture, Ephesians 1:5. The Bible said, having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself according to the good pleasure of his will. Hear this. Before we ever got in our mama's belly, he knew us. Wow. Before we ever got in our mama's belly, he sanctified us. He set us apart to be different, for an assignment, to live a different way. He ordained us. He ordered our steps. He put an ordination on our life, something for us to do. We got to submit to that will. So your purpose, the will of God for your life, is never your decision, it's your discovery. Hallelujah. But here's where I want to get— we're adopted. Listen to this. Next time you beat yourself up and devalue yourself about who God has called you to be and what you ought to be doing, I want you to remember you are adopted by God. Listen to this. I never heard of an unwanted adoption. I never heard of an unwanted adoption. So think about that, knowing everything about you in his omniscience, knowing everything you would do, everything you would ever think he still adopted you. He still loved you. He did that according to the good pleasure of his will. Oh God, ah, Jesus, help us. It was his good pleasure to adopt you because he put his will inside of you, even if you don't even understand it's there. Is there. You were born with his will in you. You just gotta be trained to do it, right? He adopted you. Oh, he loved you that much. And your response ought to be bringing him pleasure, living the life— watch this— that he created for you. Instead of you— I'm trying to make it— you, every day you try to create a life for yourself, but there's a life that was already created for you by God. Oh, oh, how we love him. Let's pray this. Father, we give you praise and we thank you for this time of prayer. We thank you for how you have been here for us. We thank you, God, that no weapon that is formed against us can prosper. We thank you, dear God, that every tongue that rises against us, you will condemn, you will show to be in the wrong. And Father, we declare we have been predestined according to the good pleasure of your will to be holy, to be righteous, God, to live for you. We have been adopted as children of God. And so, Father, we take this moment to say thank you, thank you. And, and we'll take it even further beyond our lips, God, and with our life. Yeah, we'll live a life of gratitude toward you, a life of good things toward you, and we praise you for that now in Jesus' mighty name. Amen and amen. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Well, we got through it. Glory to God! I don't know what was going on, but God is so good. I pray that in spite of the few interruptions we had, that you feel a sense of urgency to continue to submit to God so that his will can be done. I pray that through the word, we pray you got a thorough understanding and clarity about what the will of God is. Train yourself by spending time with the Holy Spirit. Train yourself by sitting under anointed teachers who can teach you the word of God and teach you how to really be deployed into the world and operate in who God has called you to be. Glory to God. I love you guys. Y'all have a super day. Remember, our fast ends at 3 o'clock. Glory to the name of God. And, uh, we're fasting, we're praying, we're trusting God. Hallelujah for the manifestation of his will in our life, that we'll be accurate in all things, that we won't miss it to the left nor to the right. Glory to God. God is so good. He's a great God. Y'all have a super day. I love you with the love of the Lord, and ain't a thing on earth you could do about it. Y'all be blessed. Peace. Hallelujah. We give him praise. We give him—
