Chapters
Shh. Hallelujah! Glory to God! We bless you. We worship Jesus. We worship you, Jesus. Hallelujah. We worship your great name. I love you, Jesus. I love you. I love you, Holy Holy is your name, God. Holy is your name, Jesus. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah! Bless you, God. Praise God. Hallelujah, Jesus. A pleasant good morning to everybody. This is the day the Lord has made. And we shall rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to 5 o'clock prayer. Glory to God. If you're here now, do me a favor, send out a text, share with someone, let them know that we're praying right now. And you know what, more than anything, I believe in this world now— I was teaching somewhat on this Sunday, we were talking about the mysteries of the kingdom. The Bible said it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom. And the interesting thing about that verse, Jesus said it's given to us to know the mysteries of the kingdom, but to others it is not. And so we should understand how the kingdom works, how the kingdom operates, and really know that we live under a different system and structure of government, honestly, than the rest of the world. We're in the world but not of the world. And so When Jesus was asked by the disciples, Lord, teach us how to pray, he gave them a model prayer, uh, in Matthew's Gospel. And, uh, part— one very important part of that prayer, it says, thy kingdom come. And this morning I want to pray, glory to the name of God, uh, for the kingdom of God to come quickly. Matter of fact, there's a prophetic utterance that came out of me on Sunday, uh, and we begin to utter the words prophetically, Maranatha, God come quickly. God come— Maranatha means God come quickly. We want his kingdom to manifest quickly in our life where we can experience all of the benefits, all of the resources, all of the things that are connected to us being believers. Again, it's given to us to have the mysteries of the kingdom of God. So today, as we pray this morning, as we pray, we want to pray that the mysterion, the mysteries, the hidden secrets, the hidden treasures, the hidden plans of God's kingdom would be revealed to us in every situation where they are needed. And instead of operating in what we think we know, we will begin to operate in the mysteries of the kingdom of God. My God, today, Jesus, we love you. Jesus, we praise you. And, and so this is how we're praying. And you know, we pray the word. So we're going to read a few passages of scripture, we're going to pray those scriptures, and we're going to believe God. The Bible said if we ask anything according to his will, he'll do it. So this morning, again, we're praying the word of God. No blanket praying. We're praying the word because we know, again, we ask according to his will. His will is his word. He will do it. We pray in direct alignment with God's word. Hallelujah. And we ask the Holy Spirit to guide us today. First passage of scripture we're going to look at is 1 John 3, uh, verses 2 and 3. Let's go there. 1 John 3, uh, verses 2 and 3. And again, welcome if you're just joining us. Do me a favor, please, please, please, ma'am, please, sir, please share this live stream. I promise you, uh, it's going to be a blessing to someone, uh, if you will indeed just share it with them. 1 John 2, uh, verses— glory to God— 2 and 3. You'll find these words, these words. The Bible says this, it says, and he is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world. Now, the word, uh, propitiation is, uh, hilamos in Greek, and it literally means that he is the appeasing— he is the actual sacrifice to God for our sins. And we know that clearly, right? That he died on the cross, he became the sacrifice. Praise the name of God. He took our place, he took on our sin. Glory to the name of God. He took on the sin of us who serve him and the sins of the world. Now it is important that we recognize and honor this act so we can align with kingdom principle. This is where it all starts. Glory to God. You have to receive the king into your life. And, and many of you who are listening to me this morning or listening to this replay have received him. And but there are people who have not. And, and there is some erroneous teaching going around that tells people they don't have to receive him. And they— some— and they use this verse heavily because he— it says, but he's done it for the whole world. Yes, he died for the whole world, but the whole world, if they are to have the benefits of his kingdom and the king, they have to receive him into their life. Verse 3 says, and hereby we do know that we know him. Here it is: if we keep his commandments. My God, somebody say, Apostle, what on earth does that have to do with kingdom? It has everything to do with it, because commandments here is his constitution, his laws. Every kingdom has a constitution. Every kingdom has a set of laws. Kingdom citizens keep the laws of the kingdom. Kingdom citizens obey what the king says. Even in the natural, if the king decrees a thing, it becomes law. We have a book filled with decrees that God has decreed for our life, promises, uh, tenets, things that he desire for us to follow after. Not in a legalistic way, We're his family, we're his children. So he wants us to follow after his commandments. Hear me, family. Oh God, oh God, because we love him, because we love him, we keep his commandments. And watch this, because we know him. And, and the Bible says again, you know that you actually know, that you ain't faking the phone, that you know him for real when you're obeying and operating according to his word. So one very important key to pulling the kingdom of God to you and I, hear me family, is glory to God, ish abando rangisataia, is obedience, doing what he says, following after the word, leaning into the word. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We love him, we adore him, praise God, and we magnify him. So we, uh, choose to behave as children who obey our King. And you know what? That becomes a witness that we live as he has asked us. We don't do what we want to do and try to change what he command because, okay, well, he died by sin, so we're gonna just change it and keep sinning. No, that's not how that works. We want kingdom. And in this hour, we need the kingdom of God, the King and his dominion, his control, his authority, his domain. We need it working through us. We need it to make a footprint in the world so that people people can actually be changed, transformed, healed, delivered, and set free. Let's pray. Father, we give you praise. We thank you for 1 John. Glory to the name of God. Chapter number 3, verses 2 and 3. We give you praise and glory. Hallelujah. For chapter number 2, verses 2 and 3. We give you praise and glory, God. Hallelujah for what you're doing in our life. And Father, we ask you to let your kingdom come and let your will be done. And we thank you for the spirit of obedience, God. I Release the spirit of obedience, um, oh my God, uh, upon those that are watching this live now and those that will catch this replay. May we follow after your word and do what you've asked us to do. May we live, God, as children, my God, today. Hallelujah. Who are reflection of our home country, the kingdom of God, thy Kingdom come, and we give you praise for it now, God. We thank you that, oh my God, our worst days are over, and we declare that we've stepped into the best days of our life because we decree and declare today according to your word. Hallelujah! We are children of light. We're no longer foreigners and strangers. Hallelujah! We have access and we can boldly come to the throne of grace, to the kingdom of God. Thank you, God, for being the propitiation for our sin. Thank you for being the sacrifice. Thank you for dying for us. Thank for loving us so much that you gave our life. And now, God, I ask that you will pull your family— pull us closer, pull us closer, pull us closer to you in relationship, God, so we may know you for real. Because the scripture here says if we actually know you, we will keep your commandments, we will do what you say. There's so many saying, I know God, I'm in love with God, I got a relationship with God. So many that go to church, but they do not abide your commandments, your constitution. They do not live a life that's aligned with the word of God. So Father, I thank you that you'll raise up a generation of people. You'll raise up a remnant that will obey. And I praise you for it now so that we can see the results of your authority and your glory working in our life and in our world. In the mighty name of Jesus, we do pray. Glory to the name of God. Somebody ought to bless God that he's the propitiation. Hallelujah! He's the propitiation for our sin. Glory to God. Praise God. Come on, just give him praise. Just give it. Oh my, shan de de besandala bakaya, for who he is and what he's doing. Glory to God. Go to Isaiah 9:6. Praise God. Isaiah 9:6. Praise Jesus. We give God praise. We thank God for prayer. Hallelujah. Men ought to always pray and not faint. Glory to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Oh God, thank you for Isaiah 9:6. It says this again, we're praying this morning for the kingdom to come because in the society we live in now where World War III is being threatened even under our auspices. Strange floods are happening. Murders are happening all over the country, continuing increasingly. Hearts of people are waxing cold. We are in the last of the last days. I need you to hear me. We are in the last of the last days for real. And we need to make sure we make the proper impact on earth as God has called us to, so that— glory to the name of God— people are prepared and people have an option other than what the world is offering. But the church must stand in standard and power so we could give the world that option. We cannot get into their systems and become like them. We must get into their systems and operate in dominion and authority and operate for real as kingdom citizens who come to influence what they doing. We can't do that unless his kingdom comes in our life. Watch this. The Bible says in Isaiah 9:6, it says, for unto us a child is born. It's not just a Christmas scripture, y'all. For unto us a son is given, and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. So unto us a child is born, unto us a son. Watch this. It's so children are born, sons are given. I'll say that again. When, when God blesses with sons, uh, there is an intent there to carry legacy, to sustain the future of your gene pool. Glory to the name of God. And so this word son, uh, is Ben, or Ben. It's spelled like Ben, B-E-N. Glory to the name of God. And it literally means the builder of family. For unto us a builder of family is born. So this is the first classification that we need to really understand about Jesus that I think many don't understand, because we review him as God, we review him as King and Savior. But the reality is what a king does is build their family, is make their kingdom better. And a good king is going to make decrees and set laws that benefit the kingdom. Jesus is a good king. He was given to the world to build his royal family, to build his peculiar family. And the Bible says, says the government, the kingdom shall be upon his shoulder. So when he came into the world, he came bearing a kingdom. He came— oh, glory to the name of God— with a whole nother set of rules, regulations, and laws, and ways of living, and ways of prospering and soaring that is not connected to the world. Thy kingdom come, God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. It's upon his shoulder, and if he's in us, that same kingdom is in us. Glory to God. And his name is wonderful. His name is Counselor. He's the Mighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace. Let's pray this. Father, we thank you for Isaiah 96, and we pray now according to Isaiah 9— 26. We thank you that you're the builder of your family. So Father, we're asking you this morning to build your family of children, build your family of people, God, in the name of Jesus, upon this earth that will be influential, that will make an impact. Because as you come, the government is upon your shoulder, and that same government of the kingdom of heaven is inside of us. All of the resources, the healthcare system, oh my God, the pro— the economic system, glory to the name of God, the system of purposes in us, God, the system of creativity is in us. So Father, we decree and declare, because your government is in us, God, I love you. Oh, Rabbi, we can create like you create. Oh my God, today we can create like you create. We are mine because the Holy Spirit lives in us, because you are with us, God, because when you decree a thing, it is established. So I pray, God, that the government of your purpose will begin to come forth. You said you are the mighty God. So we thank you that we have the mighty King living inside of us, the mighty counselor, the mighty Lord of purpose counselor. God, you are the Lord of all purposes. You created every one of us with intent and authenticity, and you gave us a reason to be alive. God, help us to align with who we really are, with why we are here. And I pray for the spirit of the mighty the Counselor, the Purpose Giver. Glory to the name of God. To rest heavy upon every person under the sound of my voice, and they will not ask amiss. They will not live outside of your plan. They will not live under— oh my God— whoo— the auspices of their own will, but they will trust and come subject to why you created them. I give you praise, God. We should know our purpose, for we are the called according to purpose, according to Romans 8:28. And so Father, help every person under my voice to discover their purpose, for their purpose is never their decision, it's their discovery. You already decided. So help us, God, to continue to dig deeper into why we were born and help us to operate in that light, in that space, and do what you have called us to do in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, I bless you. Ela bahai osurante de be muku rambasa tatababaya bren sete be sutu rabakaya. Thank you for it, God. Thank you for that great government that's upon your shoulder, and I bless you, God, in Jesus' mighty name. Oh my God, hallelujah! Somebody give him glory. Rebabahosu tuturabakataya. Somebody give him Ketabo surin si. We lift him up. We all— we offer great praise to you, Father. Hallelujah! You're mighty, you're wonderful. Thy kingdom come, thy kingdom come. Oh my God, thy kingdom come in the name of Jesus. Oh God, if you're just joining us, we're praying that the kingdom of God will come and that it will superimpose itself upon our life, that it will superimpose itself upon the earth through us. Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. Let's keep going. Let's go to Titus chapter number 2. Hallelujah. Verses 11 through 13. Titus chapter 2, uh, verses 11 through 13. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We give you praise, God. Hallelujah. Verse 11 says, for the grace of God that bringeth salvation has appeared to all men. Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present world. Oh my God, what are these grace teachers reading? You know, I mean, a lot of these grace teachers are teaching that grace is available just for you to do what you want to do. And, and ladies and gentlemen, that is just not the case. You don't get to just do what you want to do. You have to align yourself with God's plan, God's purpose, God's desire for your life. The grace of God that brings salvation, which is Jesus Christ, the charis— he's the gift of God. Charis in Greek, which means the gift, the free gift, the favor. Glory to God. The empowerment toward righteousness Hallelujah. It has appeared before. So in other words, it's available to everybody. Again, later for this inclusionist stuff, it appears to you, you can receive it, but you got to receive it. And what grace teaches us according to verse 12 is that we must deny first of all ungodliness and worldly lusts. God have mercy. So we shouldn't be lusting after systems of the world. The cosmos in Greek, cosmopolitan systems, uh, cities are called cosmos or cosmopolitan. And so there's systems in every city and every culture, and we cannot lust after those systems to be like them. The word gives us systems that, hallelujah, that can bring prosperity, that can bring provision, glory to God, that can bring healing and deliverance, that can bring breakthrough. Glory to the name of God. Well, we gotta lust after the systems of the kingdom and desire them. See, lust can be reversed. Glory— lust ain't necessarily bad. Glory to God. If you, if you lusting and desiring passionately and strongly the right things. Glory to the name of God. Uh, we, we make it a bad word, but that's why there's an adjective, an adverb before the word even in the text. Worldly lust. Glory to the name of God. So it defines the type of lust. Glory to the name of God. But we got to go after and desire heavenly things. Oh my God, great people of God. Jesus, listen, grace doesn't give you a license to just continue to do what you want to do. You got to deny ungodliness. It has appeared so you can deny ungodliness. Glory to the name of God. And worldly lusts, and that you can live soberly, not intoxicated by the world. And the way they do things. Glory to the name of God. People are drunk on world systems. Even folk that go to church, they're drunk and they're mesmerized. That's why people scroll all day. That's why people are reading posts and keeping YouTube all day long, because they are drunk on social media, because it connects them into other people's worlds. They're not sober. They're not thinking clearly about who they are. Oh my God, thy kingdom come, God, please, thy kingdom come. We have to live sober. We have to live right, righteously and godly in this present world right now, in this time, in this day, in this season. We gotta choose, ladies and gentlemen, to live godly, to be an example, a light to the world so they can see God. A city that sits on a hill that cannot be hid. Oh my God, thy kingdom come. This is telling us strongly, man, that the kingdom of God flows and operates through us. It comes out of us, it is in us. People experience the kingdom through our life, and it starts again with our obedience to God's word, with our obedience to purpose. Oh God, let's pray this. Father, we give you praise, we give you glory, we give you honor. And Father, I thank you for this word. I thank you for the grace that has appeared before us. And Father, first of all, we repent this morning for every space that we've rejected your grace, and every space and every— oh my God, our time we have taken grace for granted. It. And we thank you that this grace comes as a power that empowers us. Le monsieur, that empowers us to live right, that empowers us toward holiness, that causes us to be sober. God and Father, this is clearly saying that the kingdom really can't manifest through us when we find ourselves operating in worldly lusts. When we find ourselves living intoxicated by the world's systems and ways of living. Hallelujah. Well, we're constantly following systems that prove they don't work, where we put trust in administrations and governments that— oh God, that are lower than you. We put our trust in the highest kingdom, which is your kingdom, God. Thy kingdom come. We're not intoxicated by what the media is Oh my God, when we get fearful and frustrated by bills and, and what administrations are saying— God, no, we trust you, and we're sober to the fact that your word is true. We're not going to drink the Kool-Aid that tells us, God, that your word is not true. We're going to live soberly. Hallelujah. We're going to trust what you said. Hallelujah. From everlasting to everlasting, you are God and God today. We're going to trust what you say in the mighty in the name of Jesus. Oh glory, oh glory, oh shaman. In the name of Jesus. And Father, this, this word comes to cause us to deny ungodliness. So I'm asking you, God, to help your people to deny ungodliness and to live holy in this present age, in this present world where so many things are tempting, so many things are luring. I release the spirit of godliness upon your And I decree and declare they shall win and they shall live soberly. Lebashoto rabakaya. In the mighty name of Jesus, I bless you, God. Oh, rabasha. We bind up everything that's not like you. Cast the devil out of the mind. Break down every stubborn will. And Father, we receive your kingdom. We receive the purity and the chastity of your kingdom. Them. Hallelujah. And even again, down to the fulfillment of pure purpose. Glory to God in Jesus' name. Listen, glory to Jesus. You, you may not be participating in what people call quote unquote the big sins— fornication, adultery, lesbianism, homosexuality. You may not be— and those are sin, man, you— but you may not be participating in those, but but quite possibly you're not living according to God's plan, his word, by alignment with your purpose, man. Because that's why the kingdom manifests, so that purpose can come alive. You could, you could be possibly missing the mark because you're coming short. Hermissio means to miss the mark, to come short. So we gotta tap in, man, especially when you know your purpose and you, you kind of clear what you ought to be doing and you still ain't doing on it. You got to live sober, can't be intoxicated on the world system and the world's way, because— and you got to drop doubt, you got to fire doubt, and you got to employ faith so you can follow hard after this kingdom system. Glory to God. Go to Revelation 11:15. 11— Revelation 11:15. We give God praise, he's a good God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Revelation 11:15. Father, we love you, we adore you. Thank you, God, for your goodness, your mercy, your grace. We give you praise, God, we give you praise. Revelation 11:15. And the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven saying— here we go, here we go— thy kingdom come. The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ. And he shall reign forever and ever. Wow. So the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of Jesus Christ our King. So every kingdom— kingdom of man, the kingdom of darkness— glory to the name of God. And watch this, every governmental system that is in the world today, these kingdoms are— oh, we are erected only to come subject to the rulership and authority authority of Jesus Christ, who is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. That cannot happen if you and I, if we his people, do not take our rightful place as kingdom citizens in this present world. Here we go, hallelujah! And begin to advance the kingdom by becoming the leaders in this world that lead these systems. Many of you heard me say it before, you cannot reap a harvest in a field where you have not sown. So if we want to see doctors emerge in the medical kingdom, we need to deploy doctors into the medical kingdom. So that means we need to, hallelujah, encourage people to take introspective— glory to God— find out who they really are. If they're a doctor, if they're a lawyer, if they're entrepreneur, wherever they fit, if they're a politician. And we won't save Holy Ghost-filled presidents and governors and mayors. We got to deploy that. We got to stop trying to hand people— just hand people a mic and think that their only call to the church is to be a deacon or to preach. Listen, man, the call of God is so much greater than that. Jesus— clearly Jesus is not coming back to set up a kingdom. This, this says that right here in Revelation. He's not coming back to start building a kingdom. No, he won't. He's a builder of the family. He's building that kingdom up in you and I now. Good God from Zion. Oh my God, he's building his kingdom now through us. And so that's why you got to take your place in the world, in purpose, in kingdom purpose, kingdom plan, so that when he comes back, all he's got to do is sit on his throne and rule what you have established. Wow. And rule what you have set up. Hallelujah. Oh boy, because that thing is going to translate supernaturally into the new kingdom. That's another message for another day. But we, we need to become kingdom citizens. This, this in a very basic sense. Some of the stuff God give me, I can't even teach because some people's mind just ain't ready. The reality is your life on Earth has so much significance to the end time. Glory to God. And we got to get in place, you know what? And if you don't do it, God will raise up someone that will. Your heart beats, you listen, because your purpose is still necessary. Once your purpose is finished, God brings you to Now, if you go before you finish your purpose, that's called murder. And many a times that has nothing to do with God because your life is cut off by a murderer. Oh God. Or you can murder yourself and you get cut off short. You murder yourself through food, through bad addictions. But you have to decide you have significance. And align with that significance. Ask God to show you your kingdom purpose so that you can operate where you need to operate and be in place when this 7th angel sounds. Or if you're not still here, you've left a legacy of what you built as a kingdom citizen with God. And when that angel sounds My God, what you built, the people you've been superimposed your leadership upon, they are still carrying that legacy of what you represented in the kingdom of God. Are we here? Let's pray. Father, we give you praise. We thank you that the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdoms of our Lord, you, Lord Jesus. We thank you, Lord. And in the name of Jesus, I'm asking you, Father, to help us be the people that will maximize our potential. Help us to operate with strong conviction. Help us to operate with strong passion and strong faith and show up in the world as leaders, as people who are called to bring dominion— glory to the name of God— to the world. And God, called to be a righteous example of light and strength to the world. We give you praise and we give you glory for it now, in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, God, that the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, them and they that dwell therein. We belong to you, God. We're your property. And Father, you're our master, and we will serve. We will do what you've asked us to do. We decree and declare, God, that no weapon formed against us can prosper, that we cannot be stopped. I pray for great revelation of kingdom purpose this morning. Help your people to see, in the name of Jesus. I give you glory, God. Oh Father, ah God, I give you the honor. We bless you, God. We bless you, God. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Let's go to 1 Thessalonians. Glory to God. We're praying the word this morning. 1 Thessalonians. Glory to God. I love you, Jesus. I worship and adore you. Hallelujah. I give you praise, God. 1 Thessalonians 4 and verse number 16. I feel Jesus. Glory to God. God is trying to make us kingdom-minded. He's trying to shift the paradigm in our mind this morning. So we can operate with him. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So that the kingdom can show up in the earth through us for real, not just lingo. I've been teaching the kingdom for 30 years. Glory to God. And you know, people pick up the lingo. Glory to the name of God. And they really don't actually operate in kingdom purpose. Glory to the name of God. And And again, let me say this, just because you're doing some churchy stuff, you know, like— here we go— like giving people backpacks or clothes, and you know, that's all part of ministry, or, you know, and I'm not knocking that, but I'm— you're not necessarily advancing the kingdom, you know. You're being charitable, and, and that's fine, but kingdom advancement is actually showing up in the world with a a dominator's attitude, with the attitude of your conqueror, your king, and you coming, you're showing up to take stuff over. It's great to give, give. It's great to help people. I'm not, uh, knocking benevolence. It's good to have programs where we feed people and help people and all of that stuff, but that's, that's church, okay? But kingdom is showing up outside the building. All right, and actually again with that conqueror's and that dominator's attitude to take over. Glory to God. Hallelujah. And, and that's who we are as his people. That's what we should be doing. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. I give you praise, God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. 1 Corinthians— Thessalonians, I'm sorry, 4. Verses 16 and 17. Here we go, here we go, here we go, here we go. For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God, and the dead in Christ shall rise first. Verse 17, then we which remain, which are alive and remain, shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet meet the Lord in the air, and so shall we be forever with the Lord. Here we go. I need you to understand something. Jesus is coming back again. He's coming back to sit on the throne. We're going to be caught up with him. He's— it's going to be a new heaven, a new earth, and these kingdoms are going to transliterate to the new heaven and the new earth. Glory to the name of God. And you got to be in Christ. Glory to the name of God. This rapture is not for everybody. I I need you to hear this. This kingdom won't be for everybody. Thy kingdom come, Lord, so people can see your authority, your rule in the earth even now, Lord. Father, let your kingdom come so people can enter the kingdom when you return. Hallelujah. For because those of us that will be alive and remain, we will be called up to meet you. Those of us that are righteous, those of us that are in Christ that have become new creations. Not those of us that continue to live in sin. So Father, I pray that the kingdom will come and people will realize that there is a real King, a righteous King that loves the earth, that loves the world. Glory to the name— that still loves the world. Glory to God. And wants to see the world saved. And I pray, God, that people's heart will be open to receive you so heaven will be their portion. And we give you praise and glory. So they will experience the rapture in the mighty name of Jesus. I declare it to be so. Raise up evangelists who don't mind sharing the gospel with complete strangers, who don't mind speaking the word of light to people. They— oh my God, they meet in grocery stores, at gas stations. God, we thank you, we thank you, God. We thank you, God, for being here for us, and we thank you for transformation so that we can be caught up together. Hallelujah. We thank you that even those that die in Christ will rise up to be caught up with you, and we give you praise for it, God. In Jesus' mighty name, we bless you. 1 Chronicles. We're getting, we're getting, we're getting where we need to be. 1 Chronicles. Glory to God. God. Hallelujah. 29:11. We give God praise. We give God praise. We thank you for breakthrough, God. We thank you for victory. We thank you for deliverance. The Bible said, thine, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in heaven and in the earth is thine. Clearly, everything belongs to God. Hallelujah. Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all. This is clearly stating to us that all greatness, all power, all glory, all victory, all majesty comes from God. He is the King of the Earth. Why would we choose to serve and lean on and trust in any other system? Why would we exalt any other way of doing things above his. I hope y'all hearing clearly what I'm saying today, because I mean, some of you, I mean, you go to church, been in church all your life, but you have adopted behaviors. I mean, just everything— how you handle your money, how you pay bills, how you, uh, look at life— it's through the lens of this old system. But if you're in Christ, you're a new creature. Old things are passed away. And now you got to trust, you got to get those kings off the throne, man. You got to get all those old kings, all those old behaviors, those old thought processes off the throne. And you got to trust the process of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. You got to do what he says. Let's pray, let's pray. Father, we give you praise. You are great, you are powerful, all victory is in you. You are the King of the Earth, we declare it in the name of Jesus. And Father, we, we say today, we ascribe to your power, we ascribe to your kingdom. And Father, your word says we speak those things that are not as though they were. So Father, as an act of faith, even areas that we have not totally surrendered as children of the King, Father, we surrender even those areas today in the mighty name of Jesus to your kingdom way, to the way of the word. And we will trust and we will do exactly what you tell us to do, God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Whether it's raising our children, whether it's— glory to the name of God— paying our bills, whether it's starting a business. We will ascribe to your faith and your way of doing things. Whatever you say, we will do. We will conquer in this regard, in the mighty name of Jesus. Atalabaya. In Jesus' mighty name, we— oh God, we bless you. You're the head above all. Yes, you are. You're the head above all. You're the King of the Earth, and we trust you with our very life. In Jesus' name. Glory to God. Go to Zechariah. Glory to the name of God. 14. Hallelujah. Thy kingdom come, Lord. Lord, thy kingdom come. Uh, Zechariah 14:5, and then we're going to drop down to verse 9. And ye shall flee to the mountains— I love it— the valley of mountains, for the valley of mountains shall reach unto Azal. Yea, you shall flee flee, like as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah. And the Lord my God shall come, and the saints with him. Again, this is Zechariah prophesying eschatology, prophesying the return of the King. Glory to the name of God. Uh, thy kingdom come, Lord. Watch this, even in the very literal sense. Now watch this, he said, you shall flee to, to the valley of mountains. Glory to the valley of mountains. Glory to the name of God. So you shall be surrounded by the mountains— watch this— of the world. You go into the mountains of society. Glory to God. Uh, government, economy, media, entertainment, you got it, military, medicine, the mountains of the world. Praise God. Go into those mountains. Glory to the name of God. And they shall reach unto Azel, and you shall flee like as you fled before work with. So, so in these last days, watch this, God is saying prophetically, we got to go into the valleys of the world, hallelujah, and not just rest in the valley, or let the King of Judah come, hallelujah, upon us, superimpose itself upon us, and we begin to rise and take over those mountains. Listen, God's going to use valley people who will trust him, who will align with his kingdom, to emerge as leaders in this world and take authority. Man, this may be too much for somebody. Listen, drop down to verse 9. Let me go, let me go, let me go. And the Lord shall be king over all the earth. What? And I, I just— that's what we've been saying all morning. Hallelujah! In that day there shall be one Lord and his name won. So all of these other kingdoms are going to fall. That happens by us taking over, by us taking our rightful place of authority in this world. My God, today. So Father, in Jesus' name, we pray according to Zechariah 14:5 and 9. And we thank you, God, that even according to Matthew 16, that thy kingdom is coming. Glory to God. And Father, we decree and declare that we're looking for the soon coming King, our Lord and Savior, in our life, God. And even here and now, as your children, God, we thank you. It's not yet disclosed what we shall be, but we know we shall be like you. And so, Father, I'm praying for every person under the sound of my voice that we— you will us like you in every regard, and that we will show up in the world, we will take over, we will operate in full authority, we will be the dominion children that you created. And we give you praise and glory for that now. We don't accept being second-class citizens, we don't accept taking handouts. We declare that our King has provided, and everything we need, he's already provided. We fix our our faith, and we trust you, God. We don't lack a thing. We declare it, and we don't have a care. All of our needs are met, and we have the desires of our heart because we delight ourselves in you. And we praise you for that now, in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Man, I feel good in my spirit. I believe that the kingdom of God has been invoked today. I just want you to align with it. I want you to trust him and allow him to be God, my God, in your life. God is— oh, God is so good. He is so kind. He is so wonderful. He is so great. He's an amazing King. Listen, I'm going to get out of here. And listen, you have a great day. Remember, Rodder family, we're fasting today until 3 Glory to the name of God. We're sacrificing our food. Glory to God. So that God can get glory out of our lives, out of our ministries, out of our business, so we can allow the kingdom to come through us and superimpose upon us. So as you go through today, be prayerful, be very focused. Glory to the name of God. Listen, if you desire to be a blessing to this ministry, if the, if the prayers and the teachings and the things that you get online time. Hallelujah! Bless you. Please be a blessing to ministry. The ways to give are scrolling at the bottom of the screen now. If you have a desire to be a blessing, please get your seed in the ground. I love you guys. Y'all have a wonderful day. God bless. Peace.
