5 AM Prayer with Apostle Mike Woods | 24 March 2026

Well, praise the Lord and good morning everyone. This is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice and we are glad in it. Happy Tuesday, man. Um, I, I always like to refer to this time that we have together in the mornings at 5 as an opportunity for us to pray through to dominion. That's what we're doing. We're— every time we come together like this corporately, um, the purpose really is that we can pray through together to dominion. And so this year we've been very intentional about, you know, our prayer topics and making sure that the things that we're praying about together are connected to our— the place that we are supposed to be dominating, our domination. Uh, every person has a dominating dominion purpose in them where you should be conquering, influencing, and ruling in some aspect of your life. And so I'm grateful, uh, really for real, guys, this morning for you. Thank God for his glory, his anointing, his power. And I pray today I mean, I really pray today, family, that you will, uh, allow this thing to superimpose itself upon you in a way that it reflects in all of your actions and all of your decisions, uh, because decisions determine destiny. And if our destiny is dominion, we're going to have to make the right decisions to get us there. And so this morning, that leads a good segue into what we're praying about this morning. I want to pray about being God-inside-minded, right? I want to pray about being God-inside-minded. And, um, I think the church today, um, in a lot of ways, we're God outside-minded, and I'm not just talking about, uh, Rhoda Church, but I'm talking about the body of Christ as a whole. We kind of mimic and judge things that we visualize, and if something, uh, is appeasing to us— watch this— we ascribe to it, you know, we align with it, and it doesn't necessarily have to be God Uh, it can seem like it's God, uh, it can even feel like God, uh, and it's, it's, it's so easy to misinterpret God and religion when you've never really tasted God. That's why the Bible says in Hebrews, it's impossible for those who one have been once enlightened which means you've had your eyes open, you've seen the hand of God for real move in your life. And secondly, you have tasted the heavenly gift. The Bible said it is impossible for you to fall away or to return to anything other than him. So, I mean, we want encounters, we wanna be enlightened, we want experiences that really produce God in our lives. Glory to God. So do me a favor this morning, family. I want you to like this. I want you to share it, uh, not because we're trying to be the most popular person on earth, but because there may be someone that needs this prayer, that needs to have God on the inside, and that they are God-inside-minded so that he is in control of their lives and He leads and guides them to all truth. Glory to God. Because, because guess what? We are in, um, a very natural world, but we are spiritual beings who reside in this world. And we have to learn really all over again, because many times our life has been shaped in iniquity. We learned the natural ways of thinking, ways that are totally opposite of dominion. Watch this, because lended our gates to the system and it's familiar, it's comfortable, it seems like the thing to do, seems like the way to go. So everybody else is doing, so we follow that path. Now remember Sunday, straight is the gate, narrow is the way that leads to life, but wide is the gate that leads to destruction. And the Bible gives us the command that if we won't life in God, we gotta enter in at the straight gate. Now, and, and, and God shared it with us Sunday under the auspices of Holy Ghost. Entering the straight gate is not just getting saved, huh? Because you could be saved— we, we learned this— and be actually in a narrow gate that not only will lead to eternal damnation if you stay in it, but that also leads to the destruction of, of your goals, your vision, your dreams, your purpose. So in order to stay out of this wide gate, we gotta make the choice. Notice he tells you to enter in. So when you receive him, the instruction now is you got to choose which gates you're going to live within. And you can't do that unless you're God-inside-minded. You got to choose the right gate to follow him. You got— your mind's got to function. That's why the scripture said, let the same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. All right, so let's pray again this morning. Again, I need you to share this, family. Glory to God. Prayer is good. Hallelujah. Prayer is good. And so, uh, please share it. Let people know we are here. Praise the name of God. So let's jump into this. Let's start this morning. We're going to pray like we always pray. We're going to read a scripture, we're going to pray that scripture out, and we're going to just walk through it until the Holy Spirit lets us go. So let's start this morning at 1 Thessalonians, yeah, 5. I'm going to read verses 23 and 24. All right, the Bible says this, it says, now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Verse 24. He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it. So he is a faithful God, and whatever he says he's going to do, he's going to do it. He's called us— watch this— all to this thing called dominion. And, and Paul says to the Thessalonians here, he's admonishing them. He said, look, let the God of peace Now this is powerful, right? He makes them clear what you've been receiving in teaching and instruction, huh? What you've been guided in concerning your authentic purpose. Here we go again, concerning dominion. No need to try to attempt this alone. He says the God of peace. Remember, we, we broke this down a few weeks back. Peace, uh, sirene or sirene or irene in Greek, it means skill, ability. Let's, let's even go here, competence, right? So the God of all competencies, all ability, all strength, he says May he himself sanctify you completely. So may he pull you totally. So sanctification has to be complete. Remember, I just told you it's not just getting saved, entering in the narrow gate. You, you have to be sanctified. After you get saved, you gotta Allow God to sanctify you wholly. He's a gentleman. He's not going to force you toward completion or fulfillment. You gotta want that. He's not gonna force you to have heaven on earth. You gotta wanna have the practices and behaviors that are going to produce heaven on earth. I wish I had somebody this morning at 5 o'clock, glory to God, that could hear this. He's not gonna make you do it. Paul says, I'm put this blessing on you that the God of peace, that you open up your heart and let him sanctify you completely. Watch this, what is completely? So he wants your whole body, soul, and spirit, your whole trichotomy, all three parts of you, which are the essence of who you are. He wants to sanctify all of you, set all of you aside so you could do the work of dominion. Oh God, oh God. But if you still wrestling with giving up your body, mm-hmm, wrestling, hear me, with giving up your soul, your mind, your will, your emotions, you're wrestling with giving up your soul, which is also your five senses, where you see, where you hear, your sensitivity, where you smell. Oh, glory to the name of God. What you touch, what you feel, your sensibility, your intellectual center is in your soul. So if you choose to relinquish your mind— are y'all hearing this? You can allow him to come in and save your spirit. You can repent of your sins and he'll save you. But you won't be wholly sanctified to complete the work. Ah, 'cause we got a lot of people out here saved trying to do the work, but their body still is not under subjection. Their mind and intellect and will and emotions are running haywire because they have not yielded their entire being to God. Don't shoot the messenger this morning. This is The word of the living God. Don't shoot the messenger, okay? This God, man. So let's pray that. Let's pray that. So Father, we thank you for 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24, and we decree and declare this morning by your power, by your anointing, uh, by your glory, God. Hallelujah. That one, you will sanctify us completely. You are the God of peace, and God, you hold all power, all the tools, all the ability. And Father, even as Paul said to Corinthians, when I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I behaved like a child, but when I became a man, I put away childish things. So Father, even as I pray in alignment with 1 Thessalonians 5, I pray 1 Corinthians 13:11 as well. And I decree and declare, God, that we will put away our toys and we will pick up our tools. God, we'll pick up the skillset of Irene, of peace, the ability you've given us for dominance, for influence, and impact in the world. I thank you that we'll put away immature games, immature playing, immature, oh my God, jesting. And God, we will get serious about what you've called us to do. We won't play around. Omagande onsa. But we'll get razor focused. Glory to the name of God. As we live in these last days. And Father, we thank you that you will preserve us blameless. And that when we stand before you, we will be blameless. Because not only have we allowed you to save a one-third of us, but we would have given our entire person over to you. And Father, we will operate as people who have God on the inside. Our soloko actions that manifest in our body will reflect you living on the inside. We want to be more like you. I want to be more like you, Jesus. I want to be more like you, Jesus. I want to be a vessel you work through. I want to be more like you. I— yes, kata monshiaya— want to be more like you. Jesus, I wanna be more like you. Jesus, I want to be a vessel you work through. I wanna be more like you. Hallelujah, God. Just worship him a few moments. Yes, Jesus. Father, we just wanna be like you, God. Oh, Jesus. We wanna be more like you, God. That's the quest. That's why we pray 1 Thessalonians 5:23, because we wanna be more like you, Jesus. We wanna be more like you. We wanna be, I wanna be a vessel. You work through. I want to be more like you. Yes, God. Yes, God. We want to be like you, Lord, and we allow ourselves to be completely sanctified. Body, bios life. Soul, psuche life. Spirit, Zoe life, every part of us sanctified completely and holy in you. In the name of Jesus, we declare to be so. Glory to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. 1 John 4, glory to Jesus, verse 12. No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us. Yes, God. And his love has been perfected in us. Oh God. So one of the fruit of him being in us is our ability— hear this— to love one another. And that love should be without prejudice. It should be without dissimulation. It should be without regard to, uh, gift, anointing, perceived talent. It should be agape love that has no conditions attached to it, because that's how he loves, right? The love of God is agape love. That's how he loves family. So we— if we really say we got God, no matter how much you speak in tongues, because let me tell you this, or how much you stay in your Bible and read and go and go to church and do all of the stuff. If you still mean as a rattlesnake and you don't have love, you could prophesy and see through muddy water. But if you don't have love, the Bible said it is as a tinkling brass Oh my God, and a loud ringing cymbal. It profits you nothing to be super deep, super spiritual. Some of the meanest folk, oh my God, I know, yabanji kotabaye, are in the church. And that's a problem because you know what? That means that there is no reflector. Of God really being on the inside. Oh, help us, God. Help us. So God, help us to be God-inside-minded. Help us to love like you love, God. Allow the love that you have for us and the presence of your very person in our life— let it permeate through us. Let the love of God be shed abroad in our heart. I decree and declare today by the Holy Ghost, and I thank you that by this they will know. Ah, that's what the Bible says. By this they will know that we are your disciples indeed, because of the love we have one for another. Oh my God. It didn't say by how many tongues we speak in, by how many gifts we have. It says by this, by this, by love. They'll know we are his disciples. Oh, Rabbi, Moshiach tataya. Help us right here, God, to love. So this is being God-inside-minded. So how can we operate in the trait of dominion when it comes to him, or the trait of spiritual gifts, and not operate in his chief attribute? Fruit, which is love. Oh my God, oh my God. So Father, we thank you for 1 John 4:12. Glory to God. Even all the way down to verse 17, I didn't read them, God, but we thank you that the love of God abides in us and it is shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit. And, and it didn't say that gifts are shed abroad in our heart by the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. We tend to lean more into, uh, an idea. Glory to God. That we are exclusive in you. We have this exclusivity we have adopted, that we think we're exclusive because we're gifted. The reality is that doesn't make us an elite group, an exclusive group. We are in you, and what makes us like you is your love. So Father, superimpose your love upon us. Love for people, love for one another, love for your work, love for your desires. May we love what you love, and we praise you for that now in the mighty name of Jesus. We bless you. I hear you, Father. I hear you, glory. I hear you, God. Yes, Lord. John 16:13. The Bible says, however, here we go, when the Spirit of Truth has come, my Holy Spirit, he, the person of God, will guide you into all truth. Hmm. He will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears He will speak and he will tell you the things to come. Again, this is the true essence right here in Jesus's words, man, right here in John 16:13, of living a prophetic life. I think I said this yesterday as well, or Sunday. You know, it's not being deep and wonderful and squinting your eyes and pulling people out and saying, "Yea, thus saith the Lord." The real essence of being prophetic is being in touch with the God inside of you. And he is leading you in every aspect of your life. And you're listening to what he speaks. Notice what Jesus says about Holy Ghost. He will not speak of his own authority. He will only speak what he hears. 'Cause watch this, he's the entity of the Father in us. And he listens to the voice of the Father before he speaks. And so he's omniscient in the fact that he moves inside of all of us when we receive him. And he says, okay, I'm gonna lead you and guide you to all truth. I'm only gonna speak on the authority of Abba. So what Abba has spoken to me, Holy Spirit, about your life, he says, that is the only thing I'm gonna say to you. Ooh-wee. I'm gonna talk to you about his authority in your life. And I'm only gonna speak on his own authority. I'm gonna let you know what's coming. We talked about this in leadership training last night, so powerful. I'm gonna talk to you about where you are and where you're going, and I'm gonna speak to you out of the mind of the Father on how to get there. Family, this is being God— oh my God, I love this— inside-minded. 'Cause your mind surrenders now, mm, to the authority of God. That's why it's important that you build relationship with God so you don't get confused about who's speaking. Mm. Are y'all with me this morning? You cannot get confused 'Cause you know, there's people that will watch this, that'll hear this, that are bouncing in and out of this right now. You know, most of the church, and I'm gonna say this now, because we are so, again, we feel like we're exclusive because we got gifts or especially charismatic, Pentecostal, expressive people who live through the gifts of the Holy Spirit, which is nothing wrong, but it doesn't again make you exclusive. The reality is, if you're prophesying what you hear him say to someone, why is it so hard? Yeah, this is why, you know, I understand Holy Spirit, I understand, I understand. Oh God, I understand. What I was about to say, this is why You know, everybody can't sit at the table that the Lord allows me to feed from. And a lot of people don't want to hear this because I'm gonna call you to responsibility in him. You got to know God for real, because watch, about 93% of the church don't know God, and that's a problem. And that's another message for another day. They saved but don't know God, because you can be born again and not know God. And not know his voice. And so what you're doing now is following these strange voices, strange voices, strange voices. The Bible said, my sheep know my voice and a stranger they won't follow. So if you don't have relationship with Holy Ghost— y'all hearing this? Because, because you could— no matter how you address them, Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, if you don't have no relationship with him, it don't matter. How, what you say, how you refer to him. You— the, the most important piece is, do you know him for real, or is what you said was him you? All right, because the reality is you got to be God-inside-minded and one with him so you can learn his voice. You learn someone's voice when you spend time listening to their voice. Uh, I have 5 children, and the blessing of that is I know each one of their voice without caller ID, without anything. If either one of those children call me, I'm gonna know who's who. Whether it's Junior and Alex, it's interesting that Alex is starting to sound a lot like Junior because he's become a young man and his voice has shifted. And some, even with his country Mississippi self, he sounds a lot like— hear me— his big brother. But I, I couldn't discern who's who, because I know each of their voice. If you really know the voice of God, you're gonna know the difference between your voice, his voice, enemy voice. So you got to make sure you're spending time with him. So let's pray about this. Let's pray that the Holy Spirit comes, that the Spirit of Truth comes, right? And he guides us to all truth. About our life, about ourself, about the things we're doing, about decisions we're making, and that we learn his voice because he's speaking. This is why you got to know it. Not— you only know his voice where you could talk to other people. Again, we major on that because we think being a prophet or being a prophetic person makes us exclusive, when really the exclusivity comes when you are able to be a part of the club that can actually hear him, because that's what he wants, that can obey him. If he's speaking on authority, you listen, follow, obey. So let's pray. Father, we give you praise. Thank you. Glory to God for John 16:13. Oh God, and I pray in the name of Jesus. Yes, God. That the Spirit of Truth will begin to influence our life in a great way, that we will willingly open our lives to the Spirit of Truth. And God, that the Spirit of Truth, the Holy Spirit, will lead us and guide us to all truth about where we fit in the plan of dominion, where we fit on earth, what our purpose and assignment is about our behaviors. We'll, we'll understand our purpose clearly because we've allowed Hoo! The Spirit of Truth to come in and speak to us. Father, train our ears to know your voice, and a stranger we won't follow. And Father, we thank you that you allow the Holy Spirit into our life to speak on your authority. So in the name of Jesus, we ask you, Father, to give us a mind to listen, to hear, to spend time with the Holy Spirit So we learn his voice in our life. Yeah. And we give— yeah, yeah. 'Cause there's so many people speaking now. There's so many people speaking on YouTube, on TikTok, on Facebook, on Instagram, on X. There's so many voices on television, on CNN, Fox News, ABC News. So many voices. Voices on Word Network TV. So many voices, but God help us in a world where everybody's talking. Ooh, shabba, tokosi anta tabaye, simondu ki ansa, to know your voice. Ooh, God, clip that. Help us in a world where onansi kata tabansi awa, everybody thinks they have a voice. According to John, help us, God, to know your voice. Hallelujah! Because you are speaking on the authority of the Father, and we receive that now in the mighty name of Jesus. Somebody ought to shout hallelujah! Glory to God! I feel him. Anemandi koshi. I feel him. I feel him. Glory to God. 1 John 2:20. Let's go, let's go. God, just rub your belly and say, Lord, make me God-inside-minded. Glory to God. God-inside-minded. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. John— 1 John 2:20. The Bible says, but you have an anointing from the Holy Ghost. And you will know all things. Wait a minute, wait a minute. I've been telling y'all, if God moves in, his nature moves in with him. So now you have access not just to be deep and spiritual things, because I'm gonna help the church. I mean, because I could talk like this, right? Because I want to bring balance to the deep community. I've been prophesying for 36 years. 36. So I love the gifts of the Spirit. So yeah, I hear you just start prophesying. I've been doing it 36 years, so I'm not against it. What I do know most prophetic people, watch this, are weird because they really don't have relationship with God. God uses them because they've learned how to operate in the spirit when it comes, but then when they come out, they have no real relationship. Because the Bible says, you have an anointing from the Holy One and you know all things. So I should be thinking like God. There should not be an area in my space of dominion that I don't have knowledge that I need, because the Holy One has anointed me. So if I spend time with the whole— if I spend time with the Holy One, my God, shaman de kosande, subukus katadi. Ah, yeah, God, he will allow his omniscience to flow through my mind. And there are levels to this, right? There are levels to this. So when you— he'll trust you because faithful of a few rule over many. He's like, I'm gonna give you all the knowledge at one time because some of y'all ain't got good sense. So I want to be able to trust push you in dimensions. Whoa! So you could operate at high levels of dominion and authority because you know all things. Oh my God. Bible said people perish for the lack of knowledge. Why would that be happening? And he says, if you're anointed from the Holy One— now I'm gonna say this, You got a lot of people who appear anointed, but every decision out of— outside of the apparition of anointing is a decision that lacks intellectual prowess, that lacks innovation, that lacks— oh my God— insight and wisdom. In other words, it's a— they make a lot of dumb decisions when they're not so-called anointed, because it's just an appearance, an apparition of anointing. But when you're really anointed, you know you got access to his mind. I didn't write this, this is in the scripture. It's in the scripture. You got an anointing from the Holy One. You say you anointed, that you got that burden-removing, yoke-destroying, demon-eliminating, debt-eradicating, glory to God, power in you, you ought to also have the wisdom and intelligence to do your purpose also operating in your life. This is being God inside, my dear. He's wise, he's all-knowing, So you— there shouldn't be a lack of knowledge coming out of your life. Let's pray, man. God have mercy. So Father, we thank you for the anointing. We— let's— we thank you for the anointing. And Father, I thank you for anointed people. And I'm asking you this morning to help those of us that carry your anointing not only tap into the lower dimensions of the expression of your anointing, Oh God, oh God. The lower dimensions of things that are, should just be normal, like operating in gifts, seeing healing. We think the pinnacle of the anointing is when we flow in streams of gifting. No, the pinnacle of the anointing, God, thank you, is that we know what you know. We know all things. We don't lack knowledge of you. We don't lack knowledge of how to flow in your authentic purpose for our life. We don't lack the knowledge of how to achieve dominion. God, thank you for calling us higher this morning. Glory to God. Thank you for calling us into dimensions we haven't touched. See, the gift is, again, I thank you for 36 years, Father, of walking in gifts, being, hallelujah, opera, really longer than that. But full-time ministry, 36 years of operating in the giftings of the anointing. But God, I thank you for tapping us into dimensions where we tap into your innovation, your creatorial knowledge, that we can do the things that you do in our arena of purpose. And we don't lack knowledge. We are God inside minded. Lord have mercy. I need somebody to open your mouth and confess that. Say, I am God-inside-minded. Yeah, shaman de kosha. So that ain't just a euphemistic statement, it's Bible. Oh God, help us, Father. Help us, help us, man. Omansiya tatakai sumundia likiskatai. Oh yeah, yeah, we surrender our mind for your mind. You know what? On no day are you wiser, more intelligent, smarter than God. Well, here's facts. Here's facts: you're not smarter, you're not wiser than him, but you have access to all he knows. Why not use that? Let's not be lazy in prayer and let's access it. Are y'all with me? Let's not be lazy in spending time with Holy Ghost and assess his mind, even Oh my God, the scripture even further proclaimed, let this same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. Lord have mercy. Okay, okay, so, so we thank you, Lord, in the name of Jesus, for the anointing. Again, thank you for omniscience, access to your omniscience, and that we lack knowledge in no area. In the name of Jesus, we declare it is so. Oh my God, today I'm telling you, I love Jesus. I don't know, I don't know if, if, if this is registering this morning. I pray it is. Glory to God. Because again, we got to get rid of the entitlement, the, the mentality of being exclusive because we're gifted. When we've only scratched the surface. Yeah, you've only scratched the surface, man. Uh, and I know in this day and time, a lot of people just tapping into gifts, you know. Um, I, I sometimes I see people, I say, oh my God, people are just so wet behind the ears with stuff. But the reality is, apostolically, my heart is to train them. That's why I can't wait to my book, uh, The Apostolic Dimension, is released, God's Blueprint for Dominion, because it's not only is a great book, but it's going to be a training manual that if people will listen to the teachings and they'll read it and receive it, uh, they will understand that again, just through wisdom and time with God, that the expanse of God is so much bigger than You giving somebody a word. Really, if you can hear God at that level to prophesy to somebody, you ought to be able to hear God for an architectural design that tells you how your life looks and you can live according to where he is thinking about you. And you have the tools to get there, not because you have a university degree. You have the tools to get there because you are inside of his mind. Oh my God. Okay. Yeah, make us God-inside-minded. Let's go to Proverbs, please. Let's go to Proverbs. I'm, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I, no, I really ain't. Glory to God. I really ain't. I really ain't sorry, but I want you to get this, man. Uh, I know it's tough, but God's got you here for a reason in this season so that you can be ready. You won't be like everybody else. And the— I want to read this in the NLT. Let me pull it up in the NLT. I want to— yeah, there we go. Let's pull up an NLT, uh, Proverbs 20:27. And the NLT is going to give us a little clarity here. The Bible says the Lord's light penetrates the human spirit. Hear this: exposing every human motive. So here's another way that we're God-inside-minded. The word light here, nos, uh, literally means not like illumination from the sun or from the lights that are like around me right now. No, the Lord's light is his intelligence. There we go again with his mind. Good God, it's what he knows. The Lord's light, his insight to all things, his omniscience penetrates the human spirit and it exposes every hidden motive. So we take many times when we hear this, like hidden motives, we take that to be you know, even just something that's sinful and gory and evil and harmful. And bad motives are all of that, but it's not just that, because you could have a hidden motive in your heart, right, that you actually believe is right. It's something you want to do and you think it's right, and you, you want to do it and you motivated to do it because maybe you see a need. And let me say this right here, seeing a need is not a call to a thing. Just because you see a need doesn't mean you're called to solve that issue. Everybody has a unique place. And so a lot of times our motivation can be the right thing for the wrong reason, or it could be the right thing and it's not our purpose. A motive is your purpose. You— it's the mot. It's the actual reason why you have to do what you do. But when you got agendas in your heart concerning the will of God and God's plan for your life, you'll start gravitating to that hidden motive if you're not operating in the mind of God. And, and watch this, you'll, you'll get displaced, right? Um, wow, there's so many displaced church folk. Oh God, I'm talking about seriously displaced. Go to church every week, uh, in the building with a very popular person, and they really have no idea who they are because they have not entangled themselves with the light of God, with the intelligence of God, with the mind of God. You ever heard somebody make the term, the light just came on, a light came onto my head, and bam, because it exposed something that was hidden. Anytime something is not of God, light, intelligence from him is going to expose that. That's lower intelligence. So I want the supernatural intelligence and ability to constantly expose— oh my God, who I am in him. Are y'all with me? You got access to his intelligence. Man, I feel this thing. Glory to God. Let me, let me move. Let me move because we'll be here, we'll be here, and I got to run through. So let's pray, let's pray. So Father, we thank you for your light in our life. Glory to God. Thank you for your wisdom. Again, your intelligence, that's light, God, and it, it exposes every hidden motive. And we thank you for that now in the might of Jesus. So every agenda, every motivation, even things that we think are right but not right for us because it isn't your plan, it isn't your purpose, God, let your light expose it. Oh, so we don't waste time doing the wrong things. And we give you praise and glory for it now, in Jesus' name. Thank you, Lord. My God, I feel Jesus, y'all. All right, I'm praying through. Let's get through it, let's get through it. Glory to God. Oh, Romans 8:1: So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. So again, when you got inside mind, you know you belong to him. You don't walk around condemned, you don't walk around beating yourself up, you don't walk around guilty. You belong to him. Continuing to condemn yourself in an area where God has released you. The next verse, in verse 2, says we've been made free from the law of sin and death by the law of the Spirit and life. So when he comes in, he sets you free from the condemnation. You can't even be condemned by things in your past. I mean, that's— it's in your past. You got to let it go. The reason why it still has access to you, because you're still beating yourself up over the fact that you did it. And then you got to be very careful to not allow people to bring condemnation in your life for things that are in your past. If you know that thing is under the blood, you have walked out of it, you're not doing it anymore. Listen, when you repent, the moment you repent, God forgives you, right? So you stop walking in condemnation and walk in true freedom. See, he makes you free from the law of sin and death. Condemnation keeps you bound in it. That's why you keep going back to it. 'Cause you, you continue to condemn yourself. But when you're God-inside minded, you understand I ain't got to be condemned by this. As a matter of fact, I don't need this. I don't have to live like this because I am in Christ Jesus and he has set me free from the law of sin and death. So Father, we thank you for Romans 8:1 and we decree and declare this morning that we have been made free from the law of sin and death. And we thank you, God. Hallelujah. That there is no condemnation in our lives because we are in you. And we thank you for giving us the opportunity to be in you, to be in you, to enter into where you are, to interpenetrate your very essence. Thank you, God. We are in you. You are in us. You stand at the door and you knock. And if we open the door, you come in, you come into us and you sup with us. So we thank you for the mind of God in our life that removes condemnation and guilt and shame. Thank you, God, that we're free. And because we're free, we won't return to those activities that brought the shame and the condemnation. God, we will live with liberty. Hallelujah. In the spirit and do what you've called us to do because we are God inside minded in the name of Jesus. Oh God, I love you. Oh God, I love you. We give you praise, God. My God, I want to get through this. Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. Ah, 1 Corinthians 2:12. The Bible says this, it says, and we have received God's Spirit, not the world's spirit. Here it is, so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us. So you've received Watch this. The Spirit of God, hallelujah. When, when you receive Holy Ghost in your life, he moved in again so that he could open your eyes to all the wonderful things he has for you. Wait a minute, Jesus said it like this. He said, take my yoke upon you and learn of me. Come unto me, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. It's toil in the world, it's challenges in the world. The way of a transgressor is hard. So you have to understand the Spirit of God. When you're God-inside-minded, he gives you insight to everything that's in you. Yes, God, I'll do that. All right, so I'm gonna just read through the rest of our scriptures and then we'll pray at the end. And I don't have time to teach you. Maybe I'll teach these soon. Glory to God, because this is good meat right here, man. It's so much in this. While I'm saying it, Proverbs 3:5, y'all, we've seen this in 6. Let's read it. He said, trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding. Seek his will in all you do, and he will show you which path to take. I'm still in the NLT again. Trust the Lord with your life, with all of your heart on the inside, and don't depend on your intellect, your understanding, what you've learned, what you've gleaned, what you've gained. Seek his will in everything you do, and he gonna show you which way to go. See, the reason why we keep bumping our head and keep messing up, family, is because we're doing things without consulting him. You got a life coach, but you won't listen to the Holy Spirit. I don't get it. You got somebody in your life that you call a mentor, and you calling yourself a mentee. And not nothing wrong with these dynamics, right? But what I want you to do is, just like somebody told you you needed coaching, and you abide by that, I want you to realize you got the ultimate life coach living inside of you. And then when you bring these other people into your world, they just kind of become a benefit to your relationship with him. They're in— they, they help enhance your relationship with him. They should not replace relationship with him. Okay, another message for the day. All right, so, so let me keep moving. Romans 8:14, and I'm gonna drop to 16. He said, for all who are led of the Spirit— we're talking about being God-inside-minded— they are the sons of God. For as many as are led by the Spirit, not by your flesh, not by other voices— we talked about that earlier— but if you're being If you're led of God, that's the proof you are a son of God. And led is past tense. It means you're actually listening to his voice, following his leading. Not you just saying, Spirit led me. Because the Spirit is gonna lead you, one, because you show up like a child. To him. See, all of us should appear before the Father and Holy Ghost daily as children ready to be led. Ah, for, for if we are led, we are the children of God, we're sons of God, we're his family. That's the proof, man. That's the proof. Let me drop to 16. We got to get out of here. For his spirit joins with our spirit to confirm that we are his children. Wow. You are a child of God because his spirit connects with you to confirm it. But you gotta let him lead you. You gotta follow his voice. You gotta develop the relationship. You guys, I'm just trying to show you, when you God-inside-minded, You got so much available to you. I listen, there's so much available to you. Glory to God, you gotta assess it, you gotta use it. Hallelujah. To be influential and take dominion in your sphere of influence. Glory to God. Let me keep reading, I gotta go. Let me keep reading, I gotta Psalm 119:105. The Bible said, your word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. God inside minded. Again, we're being led by what's on the inside of us, right? Are y'all with me? Glory to God. We're being led by what's on in that word. That's why you need word. And when you get ready to go to another level in the word, you need more word. You need to be tested in the word on deeper dimensions. Glory to the name of God. That's why you need to be sitting at the feet of the word as often as possible, because it's a lamp unto your feet, a light to your path. It should be the thing that guides you. Oh God, I ain't got time. I'm gonna stop. Let's pray. I got about 9 more scriptures. I'm gonna just pray. Father, we give you praise. Thank you for making us God inside, man. We need it. Thank you for how you visited us in prayer this morning. Thank you, dear God, that our day will be filled with thoughts that align with you. May we not miss it to the left nor to the right. May we be accurate in everything we say and do. And Father, we thank you that our forward movement, you will thrust us into dimensions of power and glory that we've never seen. God, we are spiritual beings living in a natural world. And so Father, help us to allow the dominant parts of us, the inside of us, the you in us to come alive in this world so that everything we do will make an impact and be innovative and be influential and that many will come to you because we are God inside minded. And so Father, we thank you for it. We thank you that the mind of God rules and reigns in our life, and we praise you for it now in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Listen, I love y'all, man. Thank y'all for spending an hour in prayer with me this morning. Glory to God. We, we really just bridged out of that by the Spirit. Hallelujah. I, I feel the teaching coming on about being God's inside mind. You know, I just kind of pray through the scriptures the Lord give me and this morning, yeah, I hope you were getting God is trying to show us operating through his mind and his intelligence is superior to operating through your mind and your— not that you shouldn't be intelligent, but you should join with his intelligence and allow him to lead you because he gave you your intelligence so that he can work with you and be a co-laborer with you. And what you don't know, he knows. Wow, it's a powerful thing, man. I love y'all. Y'all be blessed this morning. Thank all y'all for jumping on and again spending this hour. Glory to the name of God. You got to be God-inside-minded. God is so good, he's so kind, he's a mighty God, he's a good God. Ain't he good? I mean, for real, ain't he really, really good? So thank you all. God is good. Y'all be blessed. Remember Glory to the name of God. We're fasting today. If you're choosing to fast with us, please fast. Glory to God, till 3:00. We believe that these kind come forth by fasting and by prayer. We love you with the love of the Lord. I'll see you guys on Thursday night in person at Rhoda Church. Listen, y'all, y'all continue to pray. We got a lot of things happening and God is moving and we wanna see a full manifestation of his hand in all of our projects so that we can continue to touch the world for Jesus. Jesus. We love you. Y'all be blessed. Have a smile upon you is my prayer. Peace.
