5 AM PRAYER WITH APOSTLE MIKE WOODS | 14 APRIL 2026

Apostle Mike Woods leads a 5 AM prayer session on spiritual warfare, calling prayer an "earthly license for heavenly interference." He names the enemy's four tactics—deception, distraction, defamation, destruction—and offers three weapons: God's Word, spoken confession, and the blood of Jesus. Woods prays for restoration of a church destroyed by fire.
Chapters
Well, a pleasant good morning everyone. This is the day the Lord has made. And we shall rejoice. Glory to God! And be glad in it. I'm so excited as always to go before the Lord. Amen. Uh, prayer is not a religious duty, uh, it's a privilege and an honor that we get to exercise our earthly license for heavenly interference. That's what prayer is, is our earthly license for heavenly interference, because heaven will never interfere. Heaven will never get involved if we do not pray. Uh, if you're joining us, uh, please share. We're streaming now over two different Facebook pages and on YouTube. So wherever you're watching, uh, do me a kind favor and share this. Glory to the name of God. Um, I want to dive into this this morning because I want to make sure that we address every part of these prayer points that we have today. Um, you know, praying is, again, it's just not something else to do. Um, sometimes it could be sacrificial to rise up early, but at the end of the day, it's just one of those things that the scripture says if we rise up early and seek his face early, glory to God, the airways are, are they're less trafficky, uh, when we rise up early and seek the face of the Lord early. Glory to God, we have, uh, access through our sacrifice, because this is a sacrifice to rise up early. It should be a habit, man. Um, so I'm glad, uh, for those of you that are here, uh, please again share this for me, and we're going to dive right into this. Glory to God. So I want to talk about and pray through, um, because the enemy is a liar, right? And I want to pray through, uh, just some fact through the word that the enemy's work is destroyed. Uh, there's a real enemy, a real devil that seeks to kill, steal, and destroy. The Bible says that in John 10:10. Uh, and we'll read that in a moment. The reality is he's afraid when you get ready to tap into the fullness of your purpose, your assignment, and you start realizing who you really are in him. And, you know, he raises his head, he'll attack your body, he tries to attack your children, your finances. He tries to, you know, get you off task so you won't continue because 'Cause all he could do is break your focus. I mean, he really, all he could do is through his tools is to break your focus. And there are a few ways he does that. So number one, and we're gonna pray through this this morning. Number one, he deceives. The devil is a deceiver. He wants to get us to believe that the way things are, are the way they're gonna be. He wants us to believe that God's not real. He's never gonna intervene, that the promises of scripture never will come to pass in our life. That's really what he wants us to believe. So he does subtle things to deceive us. If you go all the way back to the Garden of Eden, the deception that happened in the Garden of Eden, it was born out of an illegal— hear this— illegal conversation with the enemy. I'm gonna say it one more time. It was born out of an illegal conversation with the enemy. Uh, first of all, Eve had no business, uh, having that dialogue about something that she was very clear that God said do not touch. God said don't touch this tree. If you do, you will surely die. You will know that you are naked. You— he, he ran it down to him. Satan comes and brings a deceptive conversation, and he deceives. He, he leads Eve to believe that, oh, it's okay that you eat. And then oftentimes, you know, the enemy will make us feel like it's okay for us to continue in things and that it's just going to be okay, when all the time that deception is causing us to be delayed in progress toward, again, finishing our course. Of course, again, the purpose of God being made manifest. So we have to make sure you're not having deceptive conversations in your DM, in your texting, on the phone. You have to make sure that you guard your ear gate and that the conversations you have— hear me— they align with the word of God. And again, I'm just saying, you know, I said this last night on our leadership call. The reality is what separates a person who actually for real achieves dominion from the believer that don't is the extra mile, the extra sacrifices, the things we do. You can't— when you are called to a certain level of assignment, to whom much is given, which means there are some that much is not given, right? But to whom much is given, much is required. So you, you got to stay away from deceptive, demonic, uh, conversations that go against the word of God. I mean, and you, you have to be able to discern what those are, and that's why you got to stay in the word so you know what those conversations are that are deceptive. Glory to God. Secondly, through the deception, what ends up happening you get distracted. So he deceives, then he distracts. He— this— these are his tools. So he gets you deceived, then he distracts you, breaks your focus, gets your focus off, uh, what God wants you to accomplish, what God wants you to achieve, the anointing that God wants to release in your life. He gets you distracted from that and gets you to settle, yeah, in this realm of comfort. And in this realm that says, okay, I'm gonna settle here because seemingly I can't change this, so his grace is sufficient for me. Okay, while that's true, his grace is sufficient for us, the reality is he never wants us to stay in a perpetual state of being stuck. You gotta deal with the distractions. And, and you got to stay focused on God. The Bible said if you keep your mind stayed on him, he'll keep you in perfect peace. So he deceives, distracts, and then what he does there, he defames. That is, that's the piece that can be really dangerous, right? He'll defame. He'll cause your character to be put in question, not just with men, but the devil puts— he defames you in the eyes of God, in your mind, right? Because he uses the distraction and the deception to make you feel unworthy and You don't feel like certain things that God promised will happen for you because now the defamation of your character— you believe through the deception— is going to keep you out of the promise. And so you start walking with your head down, you start walking without expectation. That's what the defamation does. He— the enemy loves to beat you up when you allow. The idle mind is the devil's workshop. So when your mind this idol, this word. He comes in and he starts working on you and making you feel less than the promise of God. And then once he deceives, distracts, defames, the last tool he uses is destruction. He moves in for the kill. He destroys the purpose. He can't destroy your soul. Because he has no power to do that. But what he can do is get you so off task that you never achieve what you were born to create. And what you were born to create, what you were born to dominate, what you were born to do. And we're gonna pray through that this morning because we got, we got the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, they're mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, right? So we basically got 3 weapons. One, the word. That's why you, again, you got to stay in the word. You gotta get taught the word. You cannot ever, um, think it's okay not to read your Bible, not to study your Bible, not to hear the word. Faith come by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. All right, so, so we need to stay in the word because there's so many things out here that are outside of the word of God. So we need to stay, get in the word, and stay there. So we're ready at all times for whatever God wants to do in us and through us. All right. Secondly, you're ready. Our weapon is, now word is our confession. It's a confession of our faith. It's what we say out of our mouth. So we need to always be speaking the word. We need to always be speaking what God says about us. All right, here's what I want you to know, glory to God, that God never is depleted in his ability to, glory to God, honor what he says. He cannot lie. That's basically what that is saying to you. He is not depleted in truth. If you say what he's saying, he wants to perform it. You gotta Confess it, and that's a weapon against the enemy. He cannot stand against the confession of your faith. He cannot. And then thirdly, so we have the word, our confession, the blood of Jesus. You got to plead the blood, man. You got to know that there's power in the blood of the Lamb. Glory to the name of God. And you got to have enough sense to plead the blood of Jesus against the enemy every single day. Plead the blood over your children, over your family, over your finances, over your house. Don't, don't take for granted that you don't have to war against this joker. He do not play fair, period, on no day. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So let's pray. Glory to God. And we're gonna, we're gonna do like we always do, we're gonna pray through the word. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So let's start in 1 John 3:8. Well, say this with me first before we read this. Say, say, in the name of Jesus, Say it. Say, in the name of Jesus, I put a halt. Yes, I put a halt to all distractive, disturbing, and destructive measures, and I agree that the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. My God, I put a halt to all distractive, disturbing, destructive measures. And I agree that the Son of God came to destroy the works of the devil. Glory to God! He came to destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8. Here we go. He— the Bible said, but he who commits sin— this is the Amplified Version— who practices evildoing, missing the mark, is of the devil. Oh my God. Takes his character from the evil one, for the devil has sinned from the beginning, violated divine law from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest, visible, was to undo, destroy, loosen, and dissolve the works the devil— oh my God— has done. Jesus, that's why he showed up in your life, so that he could undo what the devil did. And that's why we can't make ourselves subject to deception, distractions, defamation. Glory to God. So because every time we do that, we're giving the enemy opportunity to keep working in our life. Oh my God, he can't work without your cooperation. When you're idle, when you're not in faith, when you're not trusting the word, when you're not walking out the things that God would have you to walk out and doing the things that God will have you to do, you inviting that joker in, man, and you can't do that. So, so Father, again, we put a halt. To all destructive, disturbing, and destructive works of the enemy. We decree and declare that you came into our life to destroy the works of the devil. And Satan, the Lord rebuke you. The blood of Jesus be against you. We bind you up in the name of Jesus. And we thank you that we have liberty and freedom in Christ. We declare this morning, because Christ is in our life, Satan's assignment is canceled. In the name of Jesus. So be it. Thank you, Lord. Glory to God. John 10:10. Let's, let's go. Let's, let's ride this out. The Bible said, the thief comes only in order to steal and kill and to destroy. I have come that they may have life and enjoy life and have it in abundance to the full till it overflows. So you got, you got two, you got two ideas here. My God, today the thief, which is the enemy, the bandit, he's a robber, an embezzler, he's every kind of thief you could possibly be. He's a burglar, he's a robber, he's an embezzler, he's a thief, he's a bandit, and he comes to steal your assignment, steal your purpose, steal your joy. My God, steal— here we go— your focus because he distracts. He says, but I have come— Jesus has come— that you might have life and enjoy life. So your life shouldn't be filled with misery and pain. It shouldn't be filled with— glory to God— always down and depressed and challenged, man. Listen, the enemy, if that is happening, he is stealing, he's killing, and he's working toward destruction. See, the killer still is inside of that deceive. Yeah, it— that distract, that defamation we talked about. And once he accomplishes those three things effectively, he destroys purpose. But Jesus says, no, I want you to enjoy your life. I want you to have an abundant life. I want you to have joy in everything you do, and I want it to overflow out of you into others. Watch this, you are blessed Hear me, family, to be a blessing. Lord, I need you this morning. Glory to God. I need your strength, Jesus. And I know y'all see I'm not in the studio this morning. I am at a hotel because I'm on the road, I'm traveling. But I wasn't gonna miss this time 'cause I knew, and I knew the enemy was gonna fight it. I mean, I'm traveling all day, got in, did some work, couldn't really go to sleep, hadn't really been to sleep, just kind of was laying in the bed. Because I knew the enemy was gonna try to wrestle me over getting up and praying with you this morning. We were on the road last Tuesday, we missed prayer. But listen, I need you to understand the enemy's work in your life is destroyed. Satan's assignment is canceled. Stop accepting the hand that he deals you. Don't accept that lie that is not even biblical. You gotta play the hand you've been dealt. That ain't God. Glory to God. You, you have, you gotta know when to throw in the hand 'cause you can't play every hand you've been dealt. Glory to God. You have to know when to throw it in and you gotta know when to trust God to pull you through. Glory to God. Into the light that he's called you into. Let's pray that. Father, we bind the thief now. We bind the bandit, the robber, the burglar, and we, the embezzler. And we declare the thief has no more place in our life. We decree and declare this morning in the name that is above every name, God, lebashiko randidebe satatabaya. We declare, God, that this thief will not jack us up another day. We declare, God, hallelujah, that he will not steal our purpose, our assignment, or our joy, nor will he have the life that you created for us. He's jealous. That we are redeemed. Glory to God. He is jealous that we are in you. And so, Father, mm, I thank you that we are sealed by your blood and that you have come that we might have life, enjoy life, have it abundantly until it overflows into others. So, Father, I release that over your people this morning. I decree and declare that abundance joyfully-yam, an overflowing, glory to God, of life and strength will begin to flow out of their lives into others. And I declare Satan, you're a liar. You cannot have what God promised us. We will walk out every ounce of it. Death will not take us before we're finished. We, I speak long life and longevity over your people. We bind death in the name of Jesus. Sickness, disease, stress, worry that could take us out physically before we finish, and we declare it shall not be so. We will finish our course, God. Hallelujah. And we'll finish it with joy and abundance in the name of Jesus. We declare to be so. Amen. Oh my God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. My God, I tell you. Oh Jesus, I tell you. Oh God. John 2:15-17. Glory to God. Amen. Yeah, God, I give you the glory. John— this is St. John's Gospel, chapter number 2, verses 15 through 18. The Bible says this, it says, and having made a lash, a whip of cords, he drove them all out of the temple, both the sheep and the oxen, spilling and scattering the brokers' money and upsetting and tossing around their trays and stands. That's a righteous indignation. Jesus overturns the tables of the money changers in the temple. Watch this, watch how this plays out. Verse 16, he said, then to those who sold the doves, he said, take these things away out of here. Make not my Father's house a house of merchandise. Oh my God, a marketplace, a sales shop. Verse 17, and his disciples remembered that it is written in the Holy Scriptures, Zeal, the fervor of the Lord for your house will eat me up. I will be consumed with jealousy for the honor of your house. Then the Jews retorted, what sign can you show us seeing you do these things? What sign, miracle, token, indication you give us as evidence that you have the authority and are commissioned to act in this way? My God, today again perverting the purpose, the plan of God in your life, in his house, you know, for leaders who are pastors and apostles and prophets who have perverted the office, evangelists and teachers. Perverting your life. And perversion is not just what you think in a sexual sense, because this text is all about perverting a purpose. You know, the house of God had the purpose to consume, as we read, us with God's presence. That's the purpose. And his instruction and his learning— they had taken it and made the house of God the marketplace. That's not where we— uh, that's why, you know what, the mark— the house of God is really where we're trained to go out and dominate the meal in the marketplace. It shouldn't ever become the marketplace. And, and that's why you have now so many people marketing conferences, marketing, uh, product at the church, you know. And at the end of the day You know, I get it. But the reality is we have to do better, man. We got to do better with understanding that everything we do in God's house is sacred. It belongs to him. And we have to do it with a pureness of heart and not make it a market. And I was telling my— I was talking to my dad You know, while I was traveling today, I spent about an hour on the phone with him and I said to him, I said, you know, I'm at it, you know, I'm just, you know, grieved in my spirit because, and I have a godly indignation when I look out at what's going on in the church world today where we see, you know, first of all, so many leaders who are struggling, you know, they are in full-time ministry, watch this, but have no way of provision for their family other than what they get from the church or from traveling. I understand. I was out there like that a long time, and then God spoke to me and said, you need to take control of your finances because things are gonna shift. And I told my dad, dad, I said, I'm so glad I listened. I took control of my finances. I started a business. I started creating streams of income outside the church. The reality is, outside of ministry, You know, I was just thinking about, you know, I was just really rejoicing in my heart. I just left Vegas. You know, the reality is when I go out to preach, I'm very selective. I get invited all the time. I don't, yeah, I see people post their itineraries up. You know, if I took all the dates that people tried to give me, I mean, I wouldn't have enough room on a plane. 1,000 by 1,000 square flyer to put those dates. The reality is I can't go everywhere. I have to go where I'm assigned. I get that luxury, right? Because God has blessed me through my obedience to be dominant in the marketplace. And I think every leader should understand their position in the marketplace so that the dependence upon ministry to survive, because then you get under pressure, you start doing crazy stuff, and that's not God's will. And this is why these tables got overturned, right? And we gotta deal with the marketplace ministry in a— in light of actually being in the marketplace and not making God's sacred business, the marketplace. And I get it, man, you know, product is sold, books are sold, because it costs money to produce those things. But again, it has to be done out of purity, you know, and I think when we do that, even if people buy our products, you know, we have to, if we sell a course, we have to be more prone to give than we are to receive. And that's just, you know, the way that is, man, uh, because we can't pervert. Because watch this, perversion is perversion, is to create another perversion of the authentic. And so many times when we look around, we see different versions of the authentic, which is perversion. And we're perverting what God has called us to do, and it's not so, man. That's not what we should be So Father, we thank you for purity of heart when it comes to your house, when it comes to the things that pertain to you. We thank you, God, that there's no perversion, there's no guile in our hearts. I, I release that over us this morning, that we will use the house of God not for a marketplace, but we will use it for your glory. And Father, that the supernatural will be made manifest, that lives will be changed, people will be blessed. Thank you, God, that you will open wide doors in the actual marketplace for us to transact business so we can advance the kingdom sweatlessly without having to become marketplace people inside of a holy environment. God, so many times we have cross-pollinated and created a mixture between that which is holy and that which is unholy. And our motivation has become money. And we have learned that we cannot serve God and mammon. So we serve you. We yield to you, God, that you may guide our hand and our feet, show us streams of income that we can finance the vision and the dream that you've given us, that we won't get caught up in merchandising the gospel. Oh. In the name of Jesus. And we give you glory for that now. Hallelujah! Glory to God! We bless you. We thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord. Oh, glory! Thank you, Jesus. Acts 16:16, I'm gonna read through 19. As we were on our way to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who was possessed by a spirit of divination, claiming to foretell future events and to discover hidden knowledge. And she brought her owners much gain by her fortune-telling. Here we go again. Verse 17: She kept following Paul and the rest of us, shouting loudly, 'These men are the servants of the Most High God! They announce to you the way of salvation!' Here we go. And she did this for many days. Then Paul, being sorely annoyed and worn out. I know the feeling. Jesus turned and said to the spirit within her, I charge you in the name of Jesus, come out of her. And it came out that very moment. But when her owners discovered— here we go— that their hope— woo-wee— of profit was gone, they caught hold of Paul and Silas and dragged them before the authorities in the marketplace. Where trials were held. My God, people do not like when exposure happens to demonic forces that are operating and annoying to the progress in the kingdom. People were profiting off of this, this fortune teller, right? You got people in the kingdom now who will sell you a prophecy. That's the devil, that's not of God, and we bind that foolishness up in the name of Jesus. They have merchandised selling prophetic words. And that's what I'm saying, man. When you don't have other streams, you'll merchandise gifts, and it's the devil. Notice that demon had to be cast out. Glory to God. So Father, we decree and declare that our gifts will remain pure and they will not be perverted and they will not be used for profit. And we decree and declare that the gifts you've given us, God, all of us on this prayer call this morning, that they will be used to bring glory to your name. They'll be used to bring honor to your name. And God, we give you the glory, we give you the honor. We thank you for purity in the call, in the name of Jesus, that the power of God can flow in us and through us and out of us. We declare that bodies would be healed, the dead will be raised, blind eyes will be opened, deaf ears will unstop. Glory to God, because we will not merchandise what you have called us to do. And we decree and declare that Satan is defeated in this area. We bind even the temptation to merchandise gifting in the mighty name of Jesus. Yeah, I, I thank you for bringing that back to me, and we're gonna keep praying. I, I just, again, I was talking about Vegas and how the freedom I have to just go, but one of the main things about when I'm invited I don't— I mean, there's a time there had to be a conversation had about, you know, how the church would— I never took an honorarium, but, you know, people will take advantage of you if you're out there and you're trying to, you know, do what you got to do. And the Bible says to take care of the Levite from without the gate. Some people ain't trained in that way, so they don't know how to honor a man or a woman of God. And let me say this for you leaders that may scroll past this, that bring in people all the time: Let me say this to you. If you can't take care of a gift you bring in financially, you should already know how to be a blessing to that gift. Then you don't need to bring them in. If your people are not spiritually ready and if you're not financially capable, don't bring them in. Because even though we should merchandise, you still, according to scripture, need to take care of that gift. Now here's what I was gonna say. I'm to a place, I go places, I don't even have the discussion about that. You know, plane tickets, hotel. I mean, Vegas, you know, Boss Kirby, I consider him a son, so I never would've taxed him with flying me in. I paid for my own hotel while I was there. I never told him any amount of money he needed to give me. And this is just how I operate across the board. Because, and this is why I'm blessed, because at the end of the day, I even, because I, because greed could kick in and I, even with doors that open, I could be trying to get financial gain off of that in addition to what I do. But the gospel is not for sale, man. It just ain't. It's just not. It's just not, you know. So we got to do better in this regard. All right, Colossians 1:16. I'm almost done, family. Ah, glory to God. Colossians 1:16. Y'all still with me? Uh, we, we— let me— I want to pray right here, right here, right here, real quick. Glory to God, that just came to me. Oh, shaman, Father, bless Apostle Patricia Jones and Overseer, uh, TJ Gates. God, I declare in the name of Jesus that that mother and daughter team in ministry, who's been in ministry for several decades, uh, even after the death of the husband and father that started the ministry. Father, we saw on the news here that their church caught on fire. And, and God, I declare in the name of Jesus, even as we reached out and said whatever they needed from us, we were going to assist and help, our doors were open. Whatever they needed, I picked up the phone immediately when I learned it, Lord. So Father, I thank you right now that you're going to First of all, restore their building. Let it not be beyond repair. I thank you, God, that as that is happening, they will not miss a beat financially. Everything they've lost, we thank you that those things will be restored and returned back to them. From equipment and seating and, and, and robes and everything else that was in the church that was lost, we declare that those things will be restored a thousand times more. And God, in the process, glory to God, Satan, you're a liar. You are a liar. You are defeated in the name of Jesus. And people that have a sincere heart, this will not cause distraction. It will not cause depression and discouragement. I declare that the heart of Apostle Patricia Jones will be strong and that she will thrust through this apostolically and that her government as an apostle will begin to emerge, God. I declare it and she will begin to establish and reestablish. And God, even as they need a place to worship, we, we— I said to them they needed to use our building, they could listen, and they will not be charged, God, in the name of Jesus. So I listen, I'm thanking you now, Father, for making a way out of no way, in Jesus' name. Glory to God. I needed to pray that right then. The devil is a liar, man. See, all these kind of things that occur Lebashon kotati asa kikeskitu nuche. Liti brinseke didi atukoshe. Diskotu sheke limbrun dikisi tataia. God, I give you the glory. Yes, Lord, I praise you. I honor you. I lift you up. I lift you up. I give you the glory. Let's read this, uh, Colossians 1:16. He said, for it is in him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen. Watch this, whether thrones, dominions, whoosh, ah, whoo, God, I ain't gonna even touch it. Thrones, dominions, he created both thrones, dominions, rulers or authorities. All things were created and exist through him. Glory to God. By his service, intervention, and in and for him. Okay, okay, watch this. Glory to God. Thrones, dominions, all kind of authorities were created for his glory. Here's what people do. Here we go again. They pervert, they pervert the authority, the throne, the dominion that God gives you. God, I can't touch this in this full, but I'm telling you right now, in the spirit, I see thrones. I see dominions being released for those of you that are under the sound of my voice. I'm for real. I see thrones, I see dominions. Glory to God. And the enemy doesn't want you to tap into your fear of dominion and influence. I said it last night on the leadership call. The reality is we have to practice a different kind of life if we gonna tap into the dominions and the thrones that God has prepared for us. So in the name of Jesus, I bind according to this text all satanic inhibitions, prohibitions, prohibitions, and all limitations, inhibitions, prohibitions, and limitations. I bind them up now in the name of Jesus. Nothing will inhibit, prohibit or limit our thrones, dominions, and authorities that you have prepared for us. We bind every demonic force, every demonic distraction that comes to stop us from taking the throne, taking the dominion, taking the authority, my God, that you have called us into. I decree and declare that all invisible and invincible walls are destroyed now in the name of Jesus. I hear that Joshua 6:1, let's go there. Joshua 6:1, let's go there. Joshua 6:1. All invincible and invisible walls, I declare, that are blocking your thrones, blocking your dominion, blocking your authority, oh God, blocking your ability to emerge beyond where you are, I declare that they are destroyed now in the name of Jesus. Ah, God. Yeah. Joshua 6:1 says, now Jericho, a fenced town with high walls, was tightly closed because of the Israelites. No one went out and no one came in. Verse number 2, and the Lord said to Joshua, see, I have given you Jericho, his king his mighty men of valor into your hands. I'm gonna start right there. God has given you your Jericho. Every wall that seems invisible, invincible, insurmountable, God says, I've given it to you, and you're going to pull it down in his power, in his authority. It's all— see, he said, see. So you got to open your eyes. Look, you got the authority already. My God, my God. Yeah, two scriptures. 1 Kings 18, verses 1 through 46. I'm not going to read all those. And then 2 Kings, ah, ah, chapter number 9 through chapter 10 and verse 28. So that's a lot, but this is— these two stories, I want you to read them later because what they do is— again, 1 Kings 18, chapter 18, verses 1 through 46. 2 Kings chapter 9 through chapter 10, verse number 28. I want you to read these in your spare time. Because these are— oh boy— the demonic activities that war against— here we go— the apostolic and the prophetic voice. The reason there's such warfare against apostolic and prophetic voices is because the church is built upon the foundation of apostles and prophets. So there's a lot of warfare against modern-day apostles and prophets. There's a lot of rejection of modern-day apostles and prophets. Uh, Pastor Jeffrey, put in there 2 Kings chapter 9 through chapter 10. Verse number 28. So all of chapter 9 and then chapter 10 through verse 28, uh, 2 Kings. I want them to see that because I want you to go back and read this, okay? I want you to go back and read this. Well, again, whether you're on Facebook or YouTube this morning, go back and read this. I promise you, you need to see this because the spirit of Jezebel and the spirit of false prophets become the warfare that is waged. Many a time, these false prophets don't understand the demonic realm they've stepped into because they're— hear me— they're— so it's 10:1-28, 2 Kings 10:1-28. 2 Kings 9, the entire chapter, because again, I want y'all to get that. I want y'all to get that the reality is these activities emerge demonically through false prophets and false apostles. Oh God. Okay, I'm gonna get off here, man. I'll get off here because I'm gonna try to get a little sleep. Okay, huh. It emerges through false prophets and false apostles, people who put this on their name and they really are not what they say they are. So that's the idleness that allows to creep in, and it strips the integrity of the real apostles and prophets. And now there's a lot of demonic activity that's emerging inside of the church world because you got false entities. Ee, shakande debo shiaya. Ee, klore man satay. You got false entities that are flowing and perverted. That thing keeps coming up, spaces, because they create another version of the authentic. You know, they're not being trained, they're not being led, they're not being mentored. And so they're trying to figure out apostleship and the prophetic realm on their own. Ah, ah, oh my God. You cannot be an apostle and not have a prayer life. You can't be an apostle and not have a word life where you can unlock the mysteries. You can't unlock mysteries if you don't study the Bible, if you don't read. Come on, man, listen. The reality is We have perverted these things, and God is saying we must execute divine judgment against this demonic activity, and we must war. Here we go. In the spirit of Elijah the prophet who destroyed Jezebel, and the spirit of Jehu, the apostolic type, the akashic, that slayed 400-plus false prophets with the sword. We can't be quiet about this. Come on, apostles! Come on, real apostles, real prophets! We got to open our mouth. Glory to God. And we got to slay— the falsehood that is emerging in the body of Christ. It's not going to be pretty. It's bloody. Yeah, it's going to be bloody. Yeah. Ah, glory! In the realm of the spirit, it's going to be bloody. We gotta kill that demon because what it's doing is stripping the integrity away from the real because people are encountering perverted prophets, perverted apostles who really don't carry the government, who really don't carry the mantle, who really— 'cause prophets, oh my God, the very nature of the office is born out of God's mouth. So when God speaks the prophetic over a life, even before you get here, Jeremiah 1:5, when he ordains it, it's in the DNA. You don't become a prophet because you saw somebody prophesy and you want to now do what they're doing. And so now you start conjuring up familiar spirits to release prophetic words, or you go as far as calling witches divine prophecies from warlocks. Man, listen, we warn now in the name of Jesus and execute divine judgment. Eh, shakata tamase otolaba kya yebo siyanta against every satanic and demonic activity that emerges in the body of Christ out of false entities, false apostles, false prophets. We command etamande kosia, deliverance to your tongue. In the name of Jesus, we command a renunciation of your so-called office, and we command the door in the spirit to be closed because you're perverting a holy thing. Eh, labadikansi andaya. You ain't got to look at somebody's Facebook page to prophesy. Obadansai. You ain't got to look at someone's Twitter or X to prophesy. You can— if you pray, God will give you a word. Glory to God. If you're really a prophet, God will give you what to say. If you're really an apostle, you will have the government in your life to bring to pass what the prophets speak. So we execute judgment. We operate in the spirit of Elijah and Jehu. And we slay in the realm of the spirit every false prophet, every false apostle, Eshu katata tabandikosi. In the name of Jesus. And we declare the victory. We declare the victory because we will defeat the enemy on every hand in the mighty name of Jesus. Korabasha tabaya. So be it, and thanks be to God. All right, family, I'm done. Glory to God. I feel the release to go, to be done. I'm done. Listen, we gotta walk this thing out. We gotta keep Satan in his place under our feet. He is destroyed. He is destroyed. We read it in John 10:10. He came to destroy the works of the devil. His assignment in your life, in my life, in the people of God's life, is canceled. We gotta walk this out though, man. I love y'all. Y'all have a good day. Remember, today is our fast day. We're fasting until 3 PM today, so make sure that you lock down, stay focused. I'll see you guys on Thursday night. We win. Glory to the name of God. Y'all have a good day. Keep us in your prayers. Peace.
