5 AM PRAYER WITH APOSTLE MIKE WOODS | 3 JUNE 2025

In this 5 AM live prayer session, Apostle Mike Woods leads an extended worship and intercession that moves from heartfelt gratitude for physical creation to a systematic declaration of supernatural power. He explains three Greek concepts—dunamis (inherent ability), exousia (authority/activation), and kratos (strength)—and repeatedly commands them to be released into listeners’ lives for healing, deliverance, forgiveness, and influence. Woods ties these powers to the biblical mandate of discipleship, urging believers to become "eternal pupils" (mathetes) who sit at the feet of the Holy Spirit. He warns against superficial faith, stresses the need for purity, and calls for active learning. The sermon culminates in a detailed invitation to a Pentecost weekend at Rhoda Church, including dates, times, fasting instructions, RSVP via text, and a call to evangelize using the newly‑activated power. Throughout, the tone is exuberant, persuasive, and instructional, with a strong emphasis on experiential faith and kingdom impact.

But I— moreover, I want you to really begin to worship him right now. I want you to engage this. I want you to open up. I know we just got up, but just really open up to God and let him come in. The Bible says, lift up your heads, O ye gates, and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors, and the King of Glory— glory to God— shall come in. Who is the King of Glory? My God, the Lord strong and mighty. Glory to God, the Lord mighty in battle. My God, we give you praise. God, we give you glory. We bless you, God. We bless you. We bless you. We lift you up. We extol you, God. We release healing and deliverance and victory into the atmosphere this morning, God. Every person that will scroll past Every person that'll stop in, we declare that your anointing would translate from this room, glory to God, from the heavens and into their room. Go where they are, God, in the name of Jesus. Let that which is invisible, that which is unseen, that which is supernatural, God, let it superimpose itself upon your people this morning. And we give you praise, God. We expect the great, we expect the best, God. You that you are the Lily of the Valley. You are the bright morning star, God. We thank you for power. And Father, this morning, even as we pray, God, we pray for the Holy Spirit and power to superimpose itself upon us, God. This is our simple quest this morning, to pray for power, God. The church needs more power. Some churches don't have any power. Some individuals don't walk in any authority. But God, we ask you today for your word declares after the Holy Ghost has come upon us, we shall receive power. So Father, this morning, in the name of Jesus, we're asking you for power, God. Dunamis power, that inherent ability that we can operate as you would operate if you was in the earth. And Father, we thank you. We yield our vessels, God, so that power can flow through us. We purify our hearts, we purify our minds through your precious blood, God, and we decree and declare, God, and even through our behavior, we operate in a level of purity where we can be trusted with high levels of power. Father, I release high levels of supernatural power and ability to begin to flow through our life. We release the anointing of power that the dead can be raised, that cancer can be healed, that deliverance can be wrought through our hands, God, for your word declares we can lay hands on on the sick and they shall recover. So we decree and declare, God, that our hands— and this is— and you said these signs follow them that believe, God. And we give you praise, these signs of power. And we thank you for signs of power on your people even this morning. I give you praise, God. Hallelujah. That sickness has to back up when we pray. That disease has to back up when we pray. And we thank you, God, for the miracles that cannot be denied. We thank you that blinded eyes shall be open, deaf ears will be unstopped because of the power of the Holy Ghost that rests in us. God, I give you praise for power, power, power, power, that we'll speak with power. Glory to God. Hallelujah. That, that same dunamis power. Glory to God. That inherent ability, that we will operate in inherent ability. God, and we give you praise, we give you glory, we thank you for this ability. God, Hallelujah, we thank you and we give you glory. Thank you for this inherent ability. We glorify you, we magnify you. God, release it amongst your people. Oh, just lay hands on yourself and say, I receive the power of the Holy Ghost. We gotta go beyond just saying we have him and that he's inside of us and, uh, and being, you know, so careful about how we address him. Glory to the name of God. Listen, it makes no sense to do all of that and you have no power. Power. Glory to the name of God. But we thank you, God, now for the reception of power. Let it flow in the lives of your people. We give you praise, God. Give us raw ability, inherent ability, dunamis. Let us become a dynamo to the enemy that we can wipe out every single thing. Glory to God, that's not like you, God. And that the pits of hell cannot stand against an army of individuals that walk and operate in dunamis power. God, we release dunamis power, Father, this morning. Even as we pray, God, we release exousia, God, the power called exousia. And we decree and declare that exousia, which is influence, etatabasi ledebekoshyaya, brensetebamamam, which, oh yeah, which is the actual application and influence of dunamis. When we received you, God, when the spirit of grace and the Holy Spirit came into our life. Glory to God. When we received you, dunamis moved in, but exousia is the activation of dunamis. So Father, even as I pray this morning, I command exousia power to be activated in the lives of your people, that they will operate in high-level of favor and influence. Glory to God that everywhere they go, they will have favor and they will have influence. God, in the world, as we show up in the world daily, God, we will operate at high levels of influence. God, that we'll walk in rooms where we have authority and influence. Glory. And we'll find favor, God, with you and man. Thank you for exousia. Thank you for the ability to enforce the word of God. God, we'll become enforcers of what your word says, because as we live out what your word says, God, men will see your authority. Men will see your glory. Men will see your power rest heavy upon us, God. And we give you praise, God. Let influence rest in us, God, in our businesses, in our profession. God, cause influence to flow through us. I thank you for exousia power. I pray over every marriage represented here. Let exousia flow in those families, God. I pray over every single person represented here this morning. I declare that every single person under the sound of my voice will walk in authority called Azusa, that they will advance the kingdom, that they will operate in, oh my God, the realm of glory. And we give you praise. Superimpose your power, God, upon us. Let it shabba. God, let your power flow out of us, your people, God. So we thank you for dunamis. We thank you for exousia, Father. We thank you for Kratos power. Yeah. Natural strength, God. Your word told us, God, to be strengthened in our inner man. And so, Father, in the name of Jesus, we release kratos in the inner man, which means now we are strengthened with your ability, your way of doing, your way of operating, God. And so, Father, we thank you that we will not faint nor grow weary, and we will not fall. We will will not fail because we have the spirit of Kratos that's exploding on the inside of us, God, and that depression cannot break us, that depression cannot overtake us. We declare that Kratos on the inside, that it blocks every emotional attack that rises against us in the name of Jesus, every psychological debilitating thing that rises gets our mind. We thank you that the power called Kratos that comes from the Holy Ghost, lekande de de basi andataba, that it rests on the inside of us in the name of Jesus. And we bless you, God, and we honor you, and we praise you for power. We praise you for power, for after the Holy Ghost has come upon us, we shall receive We receive power, we receive dunamis, we receive exousia, we receive kratos, God. And even that kratos, that supernatural strength, glory to God, that's not just a euphemism or something good to say. We literally have your strength in us. Give us the mindset to activate it in all situations. Give us to know we don't have to control every situation, God. But God, you are in control, and that we have access. Woo, Shia! I release access, access, access. Lutu babaka! Access! Abosuba katata bababa! I release access to your power, access to your glory, access to your authority, and in every situation in every place, in everything we do. We declare that our access will not be thwarted by the enemy. Oh God, but we have access, we have supernatural access to you, God. Hallelujah. And we will win. And through the Holy Ghost and your influence and your power and your authority, God, we can manifest Kingdom culture, that the world can know that there is a real King that they can't see, hallelujah, but they can fellowship with, that they can spend time with, that they can talk to, that they can operate and live their lives through. In the name of Jesus, I bless you for power. Thank you for the Holy Spirit. Come on, worship her. Just worship him a few moments. Yeah, I hear you, God. I hear you. I hear God. I want to read something to you. Glory to God. And we're going to pray. I'm going to read a couple of things to you. We're going to pray it. Glory to God. Just worship him. We bless God. We bless God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Oh, we give you praise, God. We give you glory. Let's get a look. Matthew 6:13. I want— I'm gonna start here. Glory to God. Yes, God. The scripture says, and Jesus is— the disciples came to him, said, Lord, teach us how to pray. Glory to the name of God. And this is one of the things in the— hallelujah— model prayer that Jesus gave the disciples. He told them, he said, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. I decree and declare right now in the name of Jesus that every evil, injurious thing, uh, which is poneros in Greek, uh, which, which literally means that thing that comes to annoy, to bring heart hardship to injure you, everything that comes to your life this morning to bring hardship or injury to your purpose, your walk, your physical body, we decree and declare it be broken now in the name of Jesus. Every place of hardship in your finances, we command it to be broken according to the word of the living God even now in the mighty name of Jesus. We bless you and we honor you, Father, for breaking every hardship, and we thank you, God, that you're not leading us to be tested. Oh my God, because you've taken the test. Oh my God, yeah, you've nailed the test to the cross. Glory to the name of God. We thank you, God, that the processes you're processing in us are kingdom processes that are happening internally. Glory to the name of God. But every external issue, glory to God, that comes to tempt us, God, we bind it up. Glory to the name of God. And test us and try us. Glory. We thank you, God, that nothing you will bring into our life will cause hardship. But everything we deal with, it makes us better that you allow. But everything that's not of you, Father, we thank you for victory. Glory to the name of God. He says, for thine is the kingdom and the power. And the power— there's that dunamis word. He says, and the power, which is in— again, inherent ability residing in you. Hallelujah! With its nature, whoo! With its resources. Hallelujah! With its excellence, with this explosive miraculous ability. Wow! So now we said, for thine is the kingdom and the power, that same power of exploding miracles, of excellence, supernatural excellence, supernatural nature. Ah, God, it even deals with riches and wealth. That same nature is in you and I. Come on, Zion, I need y'all to hear me this morning. Hallelujah! So Father, we thank you. Yes, for thine is the kingdom and the power. So Father, that power that you've given us through the baptism in the Holy Ghost, that person of you that lives in us, Father. Yeah, God. Yes, Father. Yes, Father. We thank you for dwelling in us, and you moved in, God, through the Holy Ghost whoosh, with might, with influence, with wealth, with riches, with explosive miracles that are on the inside of us for real. Let those miracles, let that wealth, let that prosperity, let that increase begin to explode on the outside of us, that we may influence others and others may be changed because of what you have put into our life. God, we give you praise. God, ah, shatana bahaya. And we give you glory because it belongs to you forever and ever. Glory to God. Go to Matthew 9:6. Glory to God. 9:6. I'm, I'm just going to walk this out the way the Holy Spirit has given these to me this morning. He said, but that ye may know that the Son of Man have power, lo tabababa mando ro kosha talabaya, on earth to forgive sins. Then saith he to the sick of palsy, Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thy house. Okay, this is about to get deep. Rub your belly and say, I have power. Oh my God, because the Holy Ghost, le tabababa diosi, lives in me. Now here's the, here's the other word we was just praying about earlier. Here's exousia. Exousia. So the Bible says the Son of Man has exousia on earth to forgive sin. Wait a minute, so while you're be— I don't know who this is for, man, but while you're beating yourself up about some trauma that happened to you, that someone did to you when you were young or in the past, or some failure you had in the past, or you're beating yourself up about missing the mark, harmesia in Greek, which means to miss the mark, or having offense— glory to the name of or to make mistakes where you've been less than honorable in the sight of God. You're beating yourself up about that. Listen, you have the Exousia inside of you. He ain't far off somewhere. He's right here with us, and he wants to forgive your sin. Watch this. Why are you holding grudge and bitterness against someone else. You have influence and power inside of you. Hear me, to forgive. Wait a minute, to let them go. See, what you're doing, you're causing bitterness and resentment and strife to set up root inside of you. And that bitterness, resentment, strife is unseen cancers. That infiltrate and intoxicate your spirit. Glory to God. And it leads to death and dryness in the spirit, and you can't function in kingdom things when you're bitter. So Father, I thank you. Let's pray that now, for the power to forgive sin, people who miss the mark with us, just like you forgive our sins, God, when we have missed the mark with you. God, we thank you for the power to forgive and release those who miss the mark for us to own the offense, to really recognize that they offended us, that they did something against us. And so, Father, I pray this morning that you will release that exousia authority, that exousia power, that exousia ability to release those that have been offensive toward us and that have missed to walk with us and not to hold grudges. We give you praise, God. Thank you for the test of our maturity. And we bless you and we honor you in Jesus' name. Come on, worshiper, stay with me. Wake up, stay with me, because I sense this strong in Spirit. Glory to God. There are those of you who are holding issues in your heart. Hallelujah. And you have not released people that have offended you. Hallelujah. And God says you got to let it go. Some of you holding stuff from years ago, you got to let it go. Some people, some of you watching this are holding stuff against people that are not even alive today. I hear you, Holy Spirit. But God said you need to exercise the exousia power, because again, after the Holy Ghost comes upon you— you said you had Holy Ghost in you, right? Glory to God. Hallelujah. You said he's there. The person of God is there. Now, if he's upon you, you have power. Glory to God. So now you got power, you got dunamis power, and you got every power he houses. You got exousia power in you, and you got kratos power in you. Use it. Hallelujah. So you can forge. For many people are stuck. You wonder why you pray, nothing happens, because there's possibly some things you're still holding on to because you're not walking in the power and the faith to give God the liberty to move. Somebody said, oh, Apostle, yeah, I'm sorry, but I gotta, I gotta drop this like God has given it to me this morning. Yeah, stay with me, stay with me to the end. We're almost through. Glory to God, we're almost through. Rub your belly, say I got power. Come on, rub that belly, say I got power. Glory to God. Go 2 verses down. Yeah, I'll do that. God. He says, but when the multitude saw it— good God— they marveled and glorified God which had given such power. Such power. Oh, such power. Are y'all with me? Such power. Glory to God. Unto men. So wait a minute, there's exousia again. When they saw this power working through Jesus Jesus. Glory to God. The ones that saw it, it prompted them to give glory to God. Oh boy. Now I want you to look around the world, watch your TV, watch commercials, watch your timeline. A lot of stuff's going on, and there are a whole lot of a lot of people who are living lives that don't glorify God. You know why? Oh, because you get— because if you look at your same timeline, there are a lot of preachers on there, there are a lot of Christians on there who are talking about God, but they do not have power with God, so they're not seeing power. Oh God, have mercy. Because guess what? You have the same Christian that'll post about Jesus or turn around and post something negative, or post something— they get mad at somebody and start ranting on social media about the person they're mad at. Come on, we need to see the power to forgive in action. We need to see the power to heal in action. We need to see the power to see people saved in action. Guess what? When people— we need to see the power to prosper and increase when people see that aspect of glory on your life. When people see you and you're always struggling, you're always going through, but yet outta your same mouth, you're glorifying God. That's not gonna cause them to glorify God. Why? Nobody's gonna wanna serve the God that causes you to struggle, even though it's not him, it's your faith, it's your inability to operate in power. People perceive it because you're talking about God that, well, what God ain't doing much for them, them, they always complaining. They always got an issue, got a GoFundMe page. Come on, man, listen, I need you to understand something, that you serve a God that has endued you with power from on high. You need to operate in it and live in this power, so when men see that power, they'll glorify God. They'll want to live for him. They'll want to walk this thing out with him. Let's pray that. Father, we give you praise. And Father, with all the wickedness around us, glory. Help your people this morning, God, to live a life of power that brings glory to your name, God. Not to exalt ourselves else, but God, that people would see us, not that we might get likes and clicks, because so many people today, God, live for likes and clicks and popularity, God. But it makes no difference if we're popular without power. And so, Father, I'm asking you, God, that there'll be a display of power, real raw power. God, real raw power. So that when people see your power, whether it's dunamis, kratos, or exousia operating in our life, when they see our influence in the world, when they see the glory of your prosperity on our life— because it's not ours, it's yours— when they see the glory of men coming to you, oh my God, because the display of power has been in operation toward their life. God Let men glorify you. Let men be saved because they see the power at work in us. Oh, stir those gifts in them today, God. Those that watch, but by live or by replay this morning, God, stir the gifts of God that's down in their belly. Father, I decree and declare this morning that power will flow out of them, and because of the power that flows out of them, them, men will glorify you. In Jesus' name, God, I thank you. I thank you. Ah, shaman diosha. Yeah. Oh my, you know, Matthew is a very apostolic book. Matter of fact, the gospels are apostolic books. Glory to God. Because we see, uh, the chiefest of all apostles at work, Jesus Christ. Glory to God. And we see the model on how we should live as prophetic and apostolic people. And watch this, as humans as a whole who model or imitate who Christ is. Ah, ah, we give you praise. Let's go to 10:1. Yeah, let's just keep going. Let's keep walking this out in Matthew. Thank you, God. I receive it. Yeah, just lift your hands and say, I receive power. Oh, right where you are, just lift your hands and say, I receive the power of God in my life. And when we say that in the church, again, I want you to be clear, it's not just when we're laying hands. Glory to God, that's a part of it, okay? That's not— let's not think it's not. It is. But I want to balance this. Power should show up in your everyday life. Power should show up in your work. It should show up in your business. It should show up in your assignment, your purpose. Power should be flowing out of you in the world. You got influence. Stop acting like you don't. Go and take what's yours. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Go and be the person of favor and influence that God has called you to be. You're living beneath your privilege because you're not functioning in a place of power. It's a function. Ah, Lord. Matthew 10:1, watch this. And when he had called unto him his 12 disciples, disciples. This is important. So, so there are two Greek words that are basically transliterated for the word call most of the time. One is kaleo, which is an outcall to everybody, which means there are specific things that God will say that are for everybody. But then there's a word, klētos. Klētos is a intimate personal invitation that kind of like you RSVP'd your spot. In this instance, God reserved this spot for you to hear what he has to say, and so he calls you individually into this place to give an instruction. This is the attitude of what is happening here. He called his 12. He wasn't talking to the mult— multitudes. He wasn't talking to his family. He wasn't talking to his friends. He was talking to those who were intimately close to him. Hear me, who had strong relationship with him in walking out the will of God. Glory to God. He called them to himself, and this is what he did. So after there is a call, it is also followed by impartation and activation. He gave them power against unclean spirits. There's exousia again. He gave them authority, gave them influence, he gave them ability to overthrow and overtake unclean spirits. Hear this, let's deal with this. He gave it to his disciples. When you and I operate as disciples, because we're also disciples, that he— we're called to discipleship. And I'm just— I'm not just talking about the discipleship programs you go through at church. Some of you have gone through discipleship programs at church and you still are not in this. You say, but you're not a disciple. A disciple is a disciplined follower. Oh boy, of Christ. Uh, uh, mathetes in Greek, which means that you are an eternal learner. So you really never stop being discipled. This word, uh, mathetes, M-A-T-H-E-T-E-S, mathetes in Greek, means that you are eternal pupil. You're always sitting at his feet to learn. See, this is the disconnect between power and discipleship, this is where the disconnect comes. The lack of humility to be an eternal student. Okay, so Apostle, Pastor, I don't care how big your church is, I don't care how many people follow you, I don't care how small your church is, how many people that don't follow you. Guess what? If you're not a consistent learner turner. Watch this, at the feet of the Holy Ghost. Because here's one of the reasons you need the Holy Ghost. Because the Bible said he'll teach you all things. Oh, we, oh, we, church, church. Oh my God. He said he will teach you all things. All things. Lord have mercy. He's a teacher. So true disciples sit at the feet of the Holy Spirit and they don't mind learning. They don't mind— whoo-wee— sitting at the feet of Holy Ghost-filled teachers who are teaching under the auspices of the Holy most because guess what? They want to connect their learning to their discipleship so they can operate in power. People that don't have power, they've disconnected from— oh wee— from learning. They follow— oh my God— they follow people because they're popular. They follow people for religious obligation. I don't have nothing against people who are popular. Let's just use it correctly. Of it, right? Let's just use it to maximize our influence and advance the kingdom. Let's, let's operate in power through our popularity. Are y'all hearing this? Not against it. Don't, don't say that. Don't say I'm— get that out your head. Not hating on those people, but some of you follow people and there's no power there. And what you got to do is tap into resources and stream streams of anointing that carry the weight and the power of the Holy Ghost. So you can learn, so you can operate in power. Because watch what he said, he called his 12 eternal learners that understood they were with the man that could teach them everything they needed to know. Guess what? You got that same man inside of you in the person of the Holy Ghost. He's there. See, we, you know, the Holy Ghost is the person of God in you. That's who he is. He's God in you. He's your teacher. He's your leader. He's your comforter. Oh boy. Yeah, he could teach you everything you need to know, but you got to spend time time with him. You got to spend time with him. Glory to God. You got to get in his presence. You got to get in his face. You got to open your ears. You got to be a real pupil, a student of Holy Ghost. Glory to God. My God have mercy. What did he do? He gave him exousia against unclean spirits. We're gonna pray this in a minute. Unclean spirits, ekathara. Oh my God. And those, those, those spirits that are unclean in thought, deed, action, that operate in— ooh-wee— contamination, where they, these spirits show up to contaminate your relationship. So you got power against these unclean things that show up in your life to contaminate your relationship with God. See, you better stop listening to these folks that's telling you that holiness is not important. This again supports my fact that— hear me, oh my God, I love you, I love you, Jesus— is of course the fact and the statement I always made. You'll never have heaven on earth— hear me— if you live an unclean life. God is pure. God is holy. He can only operate through a pure vessel in the fullness of his authority. Watch this. And for those where that he will use and refuse used— watch this— you better believe that the moment that they're being used, there's a level of purity that he's flowing through, through Jesus's blood. Watch this. And then the moment they come out of that and go back to operating in unclean behavior, that lets up. That's why they can't tap into God outside of what's going on. Oh God, that's another message for another day. Listen. Listen, whatever's operating not like God in your life, hear me, you have the power in you to push it back. You got power against it to cast it out, not to negotiate with devils. Yeah, I've been watching some of this. Yeah, Lord, I thank Jesus and I give him all the praise for the demons that he has used me to cast out in my life, for the deliverance I've seen him through my own hands, through him, through the power that's flowed through me, and seeing people delivered. Never one time did I negotiate with a demon. Oh my God, today, my God. So I watched stuff online, see these people talking to devils and go Oh shit, that's not what we're called to do. We're called to cast them out. That means we're called to evict them, eject them, send them out into dry places, return them to their sender, and bring destruction to their lives so they don't return again, and get that person free. Not allow the demon to entertain the congregation with his antics. Okay, that's not what we're called to do. We're called to cast the double out. Watch this. He not only gave him power to cast out demons but to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease. So this ain't just for the preacher, it's for the disciplined follower, the eternal pupil. This is for those that will learn the ways of power. And that's what I want to pray right now, and then we're going to be done. That the— whoo— spirit of the disciple will on you, and you will have a strong desire to learn the ways of power. That ought to be your way of living. God, we thank you. We don't want to live without your power, without your dunamis, without your exousia, without your kratos. According to this text in Matthew 10:1, you gave us power against unclean spirits to cast them out. You gave us power against all manner of sickness and disease, to lay hands upon it and cause it to be healed, to speak to it and cause it to dry up, all of it. And so, Father, we receive that power, and we receive the discipline to operate in it, to learn it, in the name of Jesus. Because while salvation is simplex Learning the operations of the Spirit can be complex, and we must become students. We must make the sacrifices to become students. So I release that desire to become a disciple, so that the next time our loved ones take sick, we can lay hands and they recover. Letaba basura bakai. Thank you for how you proved that this is true in my life over and over again, how we've seen healing and deliverance time and time again through your power. And Father, we give you glory for it. Whether it be mental illness, whether it be physical illness, we in the name of Jesus— whether it be raising the dead, we thank you for the power. Glory to God. To operate in your auspices, God. And we thank you for that learning curve being fulfilled. It. Ah, God, and that we'll always want to be learners at your feet in the realm of the spirit and under the vessels you have ordained to teach us. And we bless you for it, and we proclaim in the name of Jesus that no weapon formed against us can prosper because we operate in power. Every tongue that rises against us we shall condemn because we operate in and show to be in the wrong. We receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost even the more this morning in the name of Jesus. Father, I pray for refillings under the sound of my voice. Even as I'm praying, God, begin to refill those that are praying with us this morning. Refill them even as we fast today. Refill them, fill them up again. Give them a thirst, give them a hunger where they've lost their passion, where they've lost their desire. Give them a thirst, give them a hunger for more. In the mighty name of Jesus, we bless you and we give you glory, God, and we give you honor. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. Oh my God, God bless your hearts. Just worship him a few moments. We're gonna get out of here, but I feel Jesus. I pray you receive this. Glory to God. As we rush toward Pentecost this coming weekend, which is the reason why the Feast of Pentecost takes place during this time, there's a command in the scripture that we should number 7 Sabbaths, and the Sunday, or the Lord's Day, after the 7th Sabbath, which is 50 days. 7 times 7 is 49, plus 1, 50 days, which is Pentecost. Pente, which is 50. He said, you shall consecrate a feast and I shall visit with you. Here's what I know. God prompted me, the Holy Ghost prompted me to have a meeting, glory to the name of God, this weekend called Pentecost weekend. Weekend. Starting on Friday night, we're going to believe God to fill individuals with the Holy Ghost and to refill those that have already received it. There's one infilling but many refillings, and we believe in God that Friday night is going to be a refreshing in your spirit. We're going to preach the word, we're going to teach the word, and that many will be refilled and filled. So I want to challenge you, get to Rhoda Church this weekend, Saturday Saturday, you need to make the sacrifice again. You got to become a disciple. My God, there it is. From 10 AM— leaders get up early, they make the sacrifice and be where they need to be— from 10 to 1, we're going to be teaching about the activation of the Holy Ghost in your life. Just how Jesus called, ah, his disciples to himself. We're gonna start talking about activation, how to work with the Holy Ghost. To in his operation. So we're gonna— we're calling this the School of the Holy Spirit. So we're gonna— and every believer needs to operate in this level, and we're going to unpack that. It's going to be class, so come with your notepad to take notes, to receive and learn. Be in the building. Holy Ghost is going to be there. Glory to God. Then on Sunday, which is Pentecost Sunday, we're going to believe God even again for the outpouring of the Holy Ghost, for signs, wonders, and miracles to fall in the most of us, you need to be in the building. And, and we're believing God on Sunday for souls to be saved. I want to encourage you, talk to the people you know, be an evangelist. Watch this: after the Holy Ghost has come upon you, you shall receive power. Why? Here's the first thing— wasn't to prophesy, it was to be a witness unto me. Martus in Greek, to die to yourself, die to your desires, and share what you've experienced with somebody else. So I want you to share what you've experienced with someone else and get those that need to be— you, you stop complaining about the fact that they ain't saved and that they don't have the Holy Ghost. Get them in the building where the Holy Ghost will be so they can get it. And then Monday we're closing out with another miraculous service. So 4 great sessions because we are eternal pupils.
