5 AM Prayer with Apostle Mike Woods, Sr. | 10 February 2026

Well, praise the Lord, family, and good morning. Welcome to 5 AM prayer. Praise the name of God. I pray everybody is well today. Uh, this is the day the Lord has made, and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. Do me a kind favor, family, uh, please share this with someone. Glory to the name of God. Like the video and comment below. Let us know that you are here. You know, it's in moments like these, um, where leaders are really made, okay? Um, irregardless to your perceived anointing what you feel like you know, uh, where you've been. Um, the reality is, is moments like these, making a sacrifice to spend time with God, all right? This is where true leaders are made. I was in a great meeting with our leaders last night, and, uh, one of the things that blessed me is just seeing, one, the multiplicity of gifts that are connected to our church, uh, But also as a leader and a person that's been doing this a long time, and that has, you know, and I, I like to believe I've been very effective when I look at the fruit of what I've done, uh, the opportunity to help cultivate those gifts. And part of that cultivation happens when we gather together like this and make the sacrifices to bombard heaven and spend time with God. So I wanna appreciate everyone that's here this morning. You know, sacrifice is a part of the game, man. You cannot be effectively apostolic and prophetic without sacrifices. You know, in every walk with God, there's gonna be sacrifices. Matter of fact, the Bible says endure. That's a strong word, man. That's endurance, endure, strong word. Hardness, another strong word, all right. As a good soldier, because we've been taught a lot of times the Candyland side of what we're here to produce. The reality is we, we'll never produce dominion for real if we're operating in this Candyland thought process. We got to be willing to become the soldiers, to make the transition in our mindset, in our heart, that God is calling us So I'm, I'm excited. Uh, I'm glad you're here this morning, and, um, this is going to be a great time of prayer. Praise God. Um, you know, as I was sitting here pondering before we started, while the countdown was on, I was like, you know, Lord, what direction are you taking us this morning? And he said, you know, all this teaching about dominion He said you really cannot have dominion with the mindsets of the body of Christ in— at this— oh my God, at this juncture of history, he said, without real revival. All right, so this morning we're gonna deliberately pray about revival. Um, And revival is when God awakens something new, hallelujah, in his people to produce— watch this— something new, something that has never been seen before. That's real revival. It's not just a preacher coming to the church running a revival, having 3 days of preaching or 5 days of preaching or whatever, or, or the services go for 30 days. Real revival is God awakening something new, something fresh, something different in his people, his people. Oh God, so that they can do something that has never been done. So let's jump in this, this morning. Let's— we want to see revival, not just in our church, we want to see revival in our region. We want to see revival in the region called Georgia, and we want our ministry, Rhoda Church, that God has established here in this region, my hometown. You know, this is— I planted 8 churches, and I have helped countless leaders plant churches, man. And this probably has been the— not probably, it has been the most challenging of anything I've ever done. Because I'm at home. The Bible said the prophet is without honor in his own country, okay? So I'm here in my own country doing this work of the Lord, and it has indeed been a challenge. Glory to God. But we're here for it. Glory to God. And we're going to endure it, and we're going to see the hand of God move and manifest in our lives. Glory to God. Good morning, everybody. Good morning, Stephanie. Glory to God. Good to see you this morning. Praise God. Uh, we're gonna pray a moment. Praise God. Just again, just giving anybody that time to get in that needs to get in. Uh, good morning, uh, Lamont. Good morning, man of God. Good to see you. Praise God. Good morning, Shannon. Good to see you this morning. Uh, good morning. I think that says Tamika Moore. Good morning. Welcome. Good morning, Vicki. Good to see you this morning. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Good morning, Mother Diane. Good to see you. Praise God. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. Good morning, Apostle Asia. Good to see you. Praise God. And good morning to everyone. Welcome to our 5 AM time of prayer, but we're praying for revival. We wanna see people saved. We want God to do, we wanna see people saved in a way we haven't seen before. So that's a big call, right? Because we've seen people like Billy Graham fill up stadiums to get people saved. But I believe that we gonna see days that are greater than the day of Pentecost, where Peter would preach one sermon and 5,000 get saved and he'll preach again and another 3,000 will get saved in one day. The reality is this is the kind of revival I wanna see. And I believe God wants to show it to us. He wants to do something that it's never been done. I've seen every kind of miracle through my ministry. I've seen God use me to do everything, man. But you know what? I wanna see more. I wanna see God do more than he's ever done before, more than my eyes have ever behold, held. I want him to show it to us so that when the world sees that, they'll gravitate not to a man, but they'll gravitate to my God, and they'll decide they wanna serve him. This is where real dominion happens. When revival is happening, we could take our place in the world so easily because revival is moving through us. And as long as revival is moving through us, people are not only experiencing what we present in the marketplace, but they are also experiencing, glory to God, the power, of our God. And they're, watch this, at that moment they experience revival through you becoming, because you gotta become a vessel of revival, right? You gotta become a walking encounter. They experience dominion right at that moment. They experience the kingdom right at that moment. The moment you pray for someone with cancer and they're healed, hear this, hear me, glory to the name of God, they just experienced the kingdom right in that moment. Oh Jesus, glory to God, glory to God. They experienced it right there. So we got to be in line and our life has to be the way it needs to be so revival for real can come through us. So let's walk through the word as we always do. We're gonna pray the word. So let's start at Psalms 85, uh, verses 6 and 7. Praise God. Hallelujah. The Bible says this, and this is the psalmist asking a question. He says, will you not revive us again that your people may rejoice in you? So we're getting ready to pray this, that God will revive us again so that there will be a strong level of rejoicing, right? Um, a lot of times when we're in service when we're exhorting or when we're worshiping, we're trying to push you guys in a lot of instances to rejoice because there ought to be a joy to what God is doing, right? When revival hits, that rejoicing comes automatic. You just have something to rejoice about. Glory to God. So we're asking God this morning to revive us again, to again awaken something new in us again. So that we can do something that has never been done, so that rejoicing will break out. Watch this, without coercion, without somebody trying to, uh, coach you or take you through the calisthenics of rejoicing, but because joy is there over the fact that you're being revived in your body, revived in your finances, revived in your family life, it becomes easy. Verse 7, he says, show us your mercy and grant us your salvation. Mercy— when we teach about this last week, I won't go through it again, but mercy is justice. And, and the Bible is full of justice promises that show the justice of God. So God, show us your justice, show us the promises of God coming to pass in our life. Salvation means to rescue, rescue us from the life as we know it and tap us into— glory to the name of God— kingdom living, kingdom lifestyles. Rescue us. So this is what we're about to pray right now. So let's pray. So Father, in the name of Jesus, we make the inquisition that David made in this Psalm, and we ask God this morning, will Will you revive us again? We believe the answer is yes. Glory to God. Will you cause something new to awaken in us? Something greater than what we've done in the past, something greater than what we've seen. A lot of times we can hang on to history and think God wants to repeat history because of how we've experienced things in the past. But God, in the name of Jesus, you told us to forget those things which are behind. And to reach to those things which are ahead. So we're postured here this morning because we expect something greater. Oh my God, we expect something more than we have experienced in our past. We thank you for all the great things you've done through us. We thank you for the manifestation of your power and glory that we've received in the past, God. We thank you even now, hallelujah, for all the lives that have been touched because we live And but Father, in the name of Jesus, collectively as a group, we're asking you this morning to revive us again. Oh God, not just in Rhoda Church, but God, send revival throughout our region, throughout our nation. Glory to the name of God. From the White House all the way down to the outhouse in the country, God, send revival in the name of Jesus. God, send revival from my house to every other house. Let revival happen in a way way we have never seen it before. Let the fires and the embers of revival ignite in us. Glory to God. Without props, without special music, without drums, without an organ, without a keyboard. God, let the embers of revival begin to burn in our belly, in our mind, in our heart on today. We give you glory for it now. And Father, show us justice. May we see your word come alive. May we see your word come forth with power, with authority. Glory to God in our life. And God, may we be a walking example. Oh, shabat, ndete kesi lombo kush ki atai. That even our shadow, glory to the name of God, let that be a— 'cause that's part of justice. That even as apostolic people, our shadow, glory to God, will bring miracles and healing and Shadows are a result of a reflection, uh, that you have been in light. So keep us in light of you, in light of your glory. No glory comes to us in any way. So God, let us stay in your light so that it emits a reflection. Glory to God. Uraba kasha tabaye, rabasa tabaya. I even pray in this moment, God, as we're moving into this weekend to bury your daughter, who's— who I believe you've brought to heaven, Chastity Bowen. I believe, God, that her life is not in vain. I believe, dear God, that she, even as Samson, will slay more in her death than she did in her life. And so, Father, I pray that revival will even happen at this homegoing service on Saturday, that those that who are in attendance that don't know you, they'll see your power, they'll see your glory. Even through the preached word, they'll respond, they'll give their lives to God. I give you, oh God, yes. Oh, shah, rabba khan sekedidi di andala boshia, rebunkush katataba. And I thank you that the love of God will come forth with great power. And the erba sokoraba, dadaban dikosia. And even as you send your word, it will heal. It will make whole. Hallelujah. It will bring forth deliverance. And Father, we give you praise, we give you glory. Oh God, work this thing. While we would have loved to still have Chastity here with us, God, work this together for good. Hallelujah. Because we love you and we are the called according to your purpose. So Father, let your glory be revealed. Hallelujah. In the mighty name of Jesus, I thank you. Revive us again. Let your mercy come forth. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Let your justice come forth and show us your salvation. In the name of Jesus. Oh God, I love you. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. Ha! Subukushka tatatabandiamtsa. Listen, family, especially our leaders, I want all of you to get with Vicki or Tanya, find out where this funeral is on Saturday. Is that Legacy Funeral Home? Get the details. I want all you guys to be in attendance. Glory to the name of God. To support Vern, who's a member of our church, she just attends online. Glory to God. But we want you guys to be in place to support and to support whatever happens. We wanna be there and show our love. Glory to the name of God. We give God praise. Abba surabakasi kutah. James 1:22. I feel Jesus this morning. Praise God. Hallelujah. But be doers of the word. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Shabakodramandikoshiantatabaya. Edemandikoshkatamandikoshia. But be doers of the word and not hearers only. Thank you, Jesus. Woo! Shai! Shabakura babandia! Deceiving yourself. So, so watch this. If we're gonna see Dominion Revival, we can't just hear this stuff, man. We gotta take action. Oh God, one of my— hallelujah— one of my one of my greatest comrades, colleagues, and a mentor. I love this man. Glory to God. I have loved him for a long time. Bishop Wiley Jackson, his whole ministry was based on this text, and he called it Put the Word in Action, Word in Action Ministries. And the reality, one thing I learned about Bishop, everything he did, he, he will hear it and do it no matter what the circumstances look like. He went for that storefront building, built that $1.8 million building with one people. The reality is, when we put the word in action, we can do anything. Watch this, especially have revival. Watch this, if you really take the Great Commission seriously and go into the world and preach the gospel, lay hands on the sick, watch this, God will cause them to recover if you put it in action. Hallelujah. If you begin to speak to someone about Jesus, they'll be encouraged through your words. If God leads you to pray for somebody and you do it, you'll see the power of God move through you and what you are doing. So we got to take action, man. And this morning I'm telling you, family, this is a call to action. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God is not calling us to sit on our hands any longer. We got to take action in the word. And when we hear this teaching, we hear what God is saying to us about dominion. Glory to God. We got to begin to ignite the revival. We got to become contagious walking encounters. All right. See, you can't be a walking encounter if you're not a doer of the word. If all you do is intake word and become obese in the spirit. Glory to the name of God. That's not That is not the plan. The plan is not for you to get all these word, eat, get word at church, get word scrolling, get word on YouTube, and you just getting obese in the spirit. No, ma'am, you gotta exercise, glory to God, that word so it becomes muscle. You gotta exercise that word, glory to God, so it becomes power. Glory to the name of God. So it can affect somebody's life that needs it on the other end. Because it's coming to you so you can, oh my God, hallelujah. So you can be supernaturally spiritually fit, glory to God, and work out in the world, hallelujah, dominion through revival. Whew, man. So watch this, man. The first mandate God gave man was dominion, right? So everything else in the kingdom ties to that mandate. So that's why it's so easy when we start talking about revival or prayer or sanctification, or fruitfulness or whatever, or whatever we're discussing out of the word, to tie it back to that first instruction to man: have dominion. So you're getting word all so you can find your dominion place, not so you can flaunt how wonderful you are. Glory to God. How much you know, how much revelation God shows you. No, you're here to exercise that word in the world so that people can see the glory of that word and revival can happen. Glory to God. And our world will be different. Glory to God. Because you are alive. Hallelujah. Oh God, we give you glory. We give you glory. I thank you, Lord. So let's pray this. Father, Father, I thank you for the ears that are under my voice this morning. Thank you for the body of Christ at large that consistently hear word. I pray for the spirit of action. I pray that the spirits of every person under the sound of my voice will receive, as we read and teach this morning and pray, this as a call to action to ignite revival, to become walking encounters so that your glory can be revealed in our lives, God. God, even as we, we just came off a 7-day fast, and as we make the sacrifice, God, to even continue to fast today for our fast day today as a corporate body, I pray that we'll put the word in action today. I pray that we will make it our business to encourage someone, to edify someone, to speak the love of God to someone, to share with somebody something about your word that has blessed us. That we'll put in action, into play, a word about dominion we've been taught, so that the words of dominion, so that there'll be a dominion air revival. There'll be a dominion air revival, so that we'll have a multiplicity of ministry, where there'll be entrepreneurs that'll pop up, successful entrepreneurs, glory to God. And we'll multiply that model. Millionaires will begin to pop up, glory to God. Billionaires will begin to pop up, because we will operate in dominion air revival. Revival. We'll see salvation, we'll see glory, and we'll see humans taking their place and doing what you've called us to do. And we give you praise and glory for that now. Yes, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Glory to God. Somebody ought to rejoice. Hallelujah. Oh, shabang, kitibesi ataya, branso boko shatatabakis katai. We glorify your name. Psalm 51:10. Oh, here we go, here we go. Yeah, thank you, Lord. God have mercy. Create in me a clean heart, O God. Thank you, Jesus. And renew a steadfast spirit within me. It's a New King James. The King James say a right spirit, but when you transliterate right in Hebrew. The Hebrew word literally means stable and steadfast. I'm dropping to verse 12. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and uphold me by your generous spirit. So, created me a clean heart. So we're going to pray today anything in our heart that's not like God, because we can't see revival, we can't be a walking encounter if we don't clean up— hallelujah— the impurities again. And I'm not just talking about the obvious sin, the obvious things that you would commit, but that stuff that's in your heart that you're carrying, that bitterness, that unforgiveness, that resentment. And if you're carrying it, man, and I know sometimes that I've been there, I mean, listen to me, I've been there. You know, I was so upset at certain people in my life, I didn't want to talk to them, I didn't want to see them, I didn't want to be around them. I mean, I just— and I felt better not being around them, just to be honest with you. But I was feeding bitterness, and I was feeding resentment and unforgiveness. And God spoke clearly to me one day and said, "Son, you gotta give them the gift of grace. You gotta give them the gift of mercy so you can be free." Because forgiveness is a gift to the other person. You gotta release them and you gotta love them through my love. Because bitterness is an internal cancer that eats away. I don't know why I'm walking down this road. That eats away at your purpose, at your destiny. There are people who get bitter against God because maybe you feel God is not moving fast enough for you. Maybe you feel like he blesses others and doesn't do things for you. The reality is, man, it's never God's fault. God is always 100% invested in us. He always wants to see his promise come to pass in our life. But a lot of times he's not gonna share that blessing with stuff that's polluted with mixture. And so this is what we're gonna pray about. We wanna get the mixture out of our heart, where you're mixing doubt with faith, where you're mixing, oh, past failure, past pain, past trauma. Glory to God. And a lot of it we pray about. Again, faith without works is dead. So after we pray about it, you gotta really do the work, right? You gotta really do the work to get free. I had to release those people. I had to sit down with them. I had to just decide I was going to love in spite of what they do, because God was— yeah, he was requiring that of me. He's requiring it of you. So we got to ask God to create us a clean heart. And watch this, anything, any behavior that's not like God that comes out of your body, because your body has no brain of its own. It has no spirit of its own. Glory to God. It is influenced by something in your heart. That's why the Bible said, guard your heart, for out of it flow the issues of life. So your very life is manifested from the inside out. So today we're going to pray about cleaning up the heart. Secondly, we're going to ask God to give us a steadfast spirit, to not be all over the place, to be stable, to be focused. Hallelujah. We're going to ask him to restore the joy. There's that joy again, because I cannot bring revival if I'm not operating in joy, because one of the attributes of revival is joy. Okay, now listen, if you study revivals of old, even in icebox movements like Methodist churches, right? Whenever revival hit, like the Methodist Church or Mennonites or Catholics, people who are just really serene and you never hear them make no noise, right? When revival hit those, because God wanted every sect to know I'm God, so revive. Now, what— whether they maintain revival or not was up to them, but revival in history has gone through every denomination, right? But most of them experienced it and went back to religion. Now, but if you studied the move, that was always joy, that was always laughing and joy and dancing, glory to God, and shouting because people were rejoicing. Because it's a key element to revival. We can't bring revival to the world and we'll sourpuss about what God is doing. We gotta be joyous. We gotta be happy, man. We gotta smile. We can't be walking around all the time looking like we done swallowed 5 lemons. We have to, glory to God, operate in joy. You better really operate in joy in this world, man. Okay? You really should. Because Jesus, the world needs that joy. They need to know that there's a door to peace and happiness and, oh my God, profit in God. And they need to see the joy of the Lord on the saints of God. So we're going to pray about that. Restore the joy of our salvation and uphold us in a generous spirit. So, and then this is about God being generous to us. The psalmist is saying, keep us upheld through your generosity, which means, watch this, God doesn't have to be generous to us. He chooses to. And when we're open to receive his generosity, we can operate in that generosity by being a doer of it, right? And share that joy, share that generosity with other people who need it. Let's pray. Father, we thank you, and we ask you this morning to create in us a clean heart. Yeah, renew the righteous spirit in us, God. Hallelujah. Purify our heart, Lord. Purify our heart. We need you, God. We need you. We need you. So clean out that deep thing, God. I'm praying for anyone under the sound of my voice, live or by replay, that has unforgiveness, bitterness, generational curses, generational demons, generational behaviors that flow out of their life. God, create in us a clean heart. And so, Father, we plead the blood this morning, the blood of Jesus Christ. Over the heart. Yeah. And we ask you, God, to purify our hearts from bitterness. Glory to God. Purify our hearts, God, from generational demonic forces and curses. Purify our hearts, God, from soul ties in the name of Jesus. Soul ties with religion, soul ties with family, soul ties with past lovers. We decree and declare that those soul ties are broken this morning in the name of Jesus. And we declare that that anything that the enemy has been using that's in our heart as a tracker, as a locator in the spirit to operate in our life through idleness, God, we command it to go in the name of Jesus. And we command that tracker destroyed. And we thank you now that our heart is pure, our heart is clean in the mighty name of Jesus. And we ask you, God, to restore the joy of our salvation, God. Oh God, whatever you do. David even said in this same chapter, don't take your spirit away from us. God, clean our hearts so that your spirit can ever abide with us. 'Cause you're pure, God. You're holy, you're clean. So get those desires, those things that are not like you, those thoughts that don't align with how you think. Purify us. 'Cause we really do believe that judgment starts at the house. We are the house. It starts at the house. Glory to the name of God. So Father, in the name of Jesus, help us to see what we need to see about us that needs to be clean. Instead of always looking to others trying to judge, help us to look at ourselves and clean our hearts. God, clean our hearts so we can be people of revival, people of dominion, dominionaires who bring revival. God, we— I thank you, God. Oh my God, I thank you, God. Uphold us, uphold us by a generous spirit in the name of Jesus. Continue to be generous to us, God, and we give you praise and glory for that now in Jesus' name. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Oh God, yeah, let me, let me just read this and we're gonna move on. Verse 13, Psalm 51. I didn't read it, but it says then, then— that's the operative word in the text. So after he creates in you a clean heart, right, gives you a steadfast spirit, continues you in generosity, restores the joy of your salvation, then you could teach transgressors his ways and sinners will be converted. So maybe sinners are not being converted Oh my God, in the body of Christ, because most of what people are calling church growth these days is not real church growth, it's membership transfer, right? So we don't want that to be our story. We want, we want God to send us the people that need to come, right? Because some people just need to be out of dead assemblies, right? And we believe that God will release them, and they— some have already been released, and they will be a part of what God has called us to do, and in, in other churches that they might need to be a part of. But also, watch this, we're believing moreover in our top priority that sinners will be saved through revival, because we've been revived in our— through getting a clean heart, right? We, we got to stay— we renew the steadfast spirit, the right spirit, stable. Glory to God. We have been restored to the joy. We happy we saved. You know, you got— you can't be doing this thing grudgingly. You restore the joy of my salvation. You need to be happy you born again, so they're up so happy that people that ain't saved can say, man, what is it about you? Glory to God. Except it's Jesus. Glory to God. And, and that's a great segue to see sinners converted, to teach transgressors their ways. We can't teach transgressors when we transgressing. This is why we don't see real revival. But I'm telling you, it's upon us. God is raising up a people, not just us, but he's raising up people in territories all over the country that are going to be true to revival. That are going to see sinners converted. All right, I'm telling you, we need to see sinners converted and saved. Oh boy. Okay, okay, I, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna keep moving. Psalm 119 and 25, here we go. The psalmist says that the top of this is deleith, and deleith is the Hebrew letter or word that's a combination of letters and numbers for the Hebrew alphabet that stands for their letter D. This is the, the importance of this. Delete deals with the idea of tapestry or something being bespoke or someone that sews something, uh, custom. It's the tapestry of the customization of the Spirit of God in our life where we are intertwined with a very imminent and transcendent God. Are y'all hearing that? God is imminent and transcendent. Imminent means he has authority, he has a throne, there's no one bigger than him, right? But the reality is he's also transcendent because in his godness, in his kingly nature, he's not like earthly kings. He weaves a tapestry with his family, with his citizens. He dwells in his citizens and gives them access to his eminence, that they can live and rule through him. Oh God, and with him. So there's a tapestry being weaved in our life. I want you to hear that prophetically. There's a king in you. I hear that, Lord. I hear a song in my ear. There's a king in me. I hear it, Jesus. I hear a song so clearly. Goliath's to defeat. There's a king in me. Visions to decree. It's my destiny. There's a king in me. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Mmm. Declarations to decree. This is my destiny. You know why? Because he's weaved a tapestry between his purpose in you and himself. He wants the purpose in your life to come to pass. Oh, okay, that's delete. Okay, so verse 25, now here's what the psalmist says. He says, my soul clings to the dust. So, so, so the psalmist here is on the ground. The— I watch this— the, the visual is he's prostrate on face down to the ground, his hands are grasping the dust, and he's crying out to God. And so Psalm 119 has various authors, um, one being Moses. There's a couple parts of this that was written by Abraham, there's a couple parts that are written by David, uh, Asaph in a couple parts. It's the longest division, um, in the Bible. And the reality is it is combined of several— the authorship is given to several different authors. Now here, this is Moses who is being challenged, right? And he's clinging to the ground because Moses had a lot of things going on with those people in the wilderness, man. But what— watch what Moses says. He says, I'm clinging to the dust, you know. I'm— and basically said, you know, just bring me on with you, right? So he says, revive me though according to your word. So I'm clinging to this dust. And we see a type and shadow of this, of Jesus in Gethsemane, right? Jesus says, God, if it be thy will, He's clinging to the dust. Let this cup pass from me. So watch this, there'll be times in your life where you— I've been here, man— where you feel like this, but the key is not to give in to it. The key is to go— it's going on to the next verse. Like Moses, Moses said, okay, this is what I feel, but revive me according to your word. Jesus, the Bible said, he went a little farther and said, nevertheless Nevertheless, not my will, but thy will be done. So this is what we're going to pray. God, revive us according to the word. When we feel like giving up, you know what this— how beautiful this is? When God revives you according to the word, right? Because if others have seen you struggling, oh my God, they've seen you go through it. I think, and I've lived this too, man. They've seen you be down and out. They've seen you be the black sheep. They've seen you be the rejected one. But when God revives you again according to his word, hallelujah, where he brings you back to life, oh my God, oh my God, they have to watch you come back. And when they watch you come back, Your life becomes a testimony to them. Can I prophesy to you right here? I hear you, Father. I hear Holy Spirit. I heard the Lord say, with the same eyes that they watched you struggle— oh God— with the same eyes they watched tears stream down your face, with the same eyes they watch you go through, with the same eyes— glory to God— they watch you lose things. God said to tell you, with the same eyes they watch you suffer, with the same eyes they saw you cling to the dust, with those same eyes they are going to watch you come out. They're going to watch you come alive again. Somebody ought to catch that. They're going to watch God do a marvelous thing in your life. And you know what? It won't be for your glory. It. It'll be for his, and they'll gravitate to the revival that's on you, and they'll yield to his ways as well. Oh my God, oh my God. We give you glory, we give you glory, we give you glory, God. Same as Same eyes, they're gonna watch you come out. They're gonna watch you get revived. Glory to God. Somebody ought to catch that today. Glory. Let's pray this. God, so Father, we thank you that even in moments when we're attacked, when we don't understand, God, when we don't understand what we're going through, when, when we're clinging to dust, God, when we want to give up, when we throw in the towel, you're so faithful, God, to always throw the towel back and say, you can't quit, you got to keep going. And so, Father, we say this morning in the name of Jesus, just like your word here in Psalm 119, revive us according to your word. So God, that means all of the promises that you have made to us in your word, God, bring us back to life and let us see those promises at work in us, God. And according to your ability, your capacity, as your word has taught us, to give us life You give life, God. You give joy. Hallelujah. You're so great. Great is our God. And so we thank you. Hallelujah. For bringing us back to life. We thank you for giving us strength. You're a great God. And so, Father, we say revive us so that others can see the revival in our life like never before, and they'll want you as we desire you, and they'll know what you're able to do. We give you praise for it now. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, we give you glory. Revive us again according to your word, God. My God, today— all right, let's back up in Psalm 119, and we're going to pray this one, verses 9 through 11. The caption above 9 through 11 is Beth. Which again, Hebrew— the Hebrew language is a combination of letters and numbers. So be'eth, glory to God, this is so powerful, man. Deals with the heart. It's the, the Hebraic, uh, indicator for the alphabet B, right? So be'eth deals with the timing of God in the heart, deals with— oh my God, it deals with processes that lead to maturity. So let's read this. Glory to God. The Bible says in verse 9, 119:9, I'm gonna read through 11. He said, how can a young man cleanse his way? Then he answers the question, by taking heed according to your word. So the immature, the young, can't really cleanse their way unless they be open up to receive God. This goes back to something we was teaching last week about taking dominion and the ways of dominion life. You got to always come to God childlike, right? You got to renew your mind, come like a child all the time with God, because no matter how old you are— watch this— he's always your daddy. Now y'all get that? He's always your daddy. So You can't do this cleansing that we just prayed about and read about if you don't humble yourself unto him. You can't— watch this— allow yourself to be clean unless you know your daddy's got you and he's gonna do the cleaning. Oh boy. So we're gonna take heed to the word again. There it is again. We see revival when we put the word in action. We take heed, which means we do it. Gonna just listen to it. Heed is an action word, which means we live what we hear, we live what he said. All right, verse 10, he said, with my whole heart I have sought you. Oh, let me not wander from your commandments. Gonna pray that today because I believe we all are seeking God, we all want more from God, right? We all want to see the hand of God move strongly in our lives. Here's reality, family. I want you to hear me. We can be tempted to wonder. Okay, someone said, no, not me. Yeah, you too. Jesus was tempted and tried on all points. Watch this, yet without sin. So how do we avoid the temptation, the test that is before us? We got to constantly be praying God, do not let me wander from your commandments. Don't let me miss it to the left nor to the right. Don't let me stray from your word. Are y'all hearing this? Because there's no temptation that has come upon you according to scripture that is not— oh my God— that's not common to man. So if a temptation comes to you, you better believe somebody else has been tempted with it before. And they have escaped it. Because the Bible said with every temptation he makes, in that same verse and chapter, he makes a way of escape. But if you don't take the way of escape, right? And, and the first step to being strong enough to escape the temptation, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, the pride of life, these temptations that come through these intimate entities, the best way to escape that is to stay in the word and not wander. So we got to pray that God don't allow us to wander, right? We gotta, we gotta keep that prayer because anytime you get out the will of God, get distracted, is because you have not prayed for God to keep you. He'll keep you. The Holy Ghost is a keeper, but you gotta ask him to keep you. You gotta, you gotta prove that you desire to be kept because if you crossing lines all the time You know, the indication there is you really don't want to be kept. You really want to do what you've been doing. All right, all right. So another message for another day, but we're going to pray that. Praise God. Verse 11, he says, your word— hear me— have I hidden in my heart. Glory to God. That I might not sin against you. So these 3 verses telling me, family, Again, going even back to the Beth, which is the Hebrew, uh, letter B that is punished, which tells me that I got to get sin out of my heart. Because again, it deals with God's heart and maturity. And as I mature— and I need you to hear this— as we mature in God, sin loses potency, it loses, uh, influence. Because that's really what temptation is, is trying to influence you into something that you've been brought out of. And the only reason it can do it, because there are traces of that still in your heart. Ah, whoosh, ah, lebekuska, tabiansa. And the only reason you can get pulled into it, because it's still in your heart. Oh, the Holy Spirit is working on you this morning. The only reason you're longing for that thing that brings displeasure to God, not the church, not the leader, not the pastor, not your friends, Sin brings displeasure to God, okay? And what you gotta do, understand, is there's a wage of sin. The Bible said the wages of sin is death. It's not necessarily physical death. You, you'll— sin will cause your finances to start dying, your health will start deteriorating, your relationships will start deteriorating. Listen, you got to get that stuff out of your heart. All right, yeah, okay, all right, man, okay, I feel y'all, I'm, I'm found y'all, I'm right here, I'm, I'm here, I'm here for it, I'm here for it. Hide the word in your heart. That's why you ought to want to hear the word as often as possible so you don't sin against God. It takes a word to save you. Old Mother said it take the word to keep you. I so believe that. Glory to God, because I've seen it work in my life. You got no word in you, man, it'll, it'll, it'll keep you. It's because the Holy Spirit, as soon as you get tempted, doing that word will pop up and start telling you and telling you the consequence of it, and you go the other way. Because there's a wage at the judgment bar, man. I'm telling you, he's the judge. So if you, if you're in tune with him, he always judging you. He tell us not to judge each other, but he judging. Because he's a righteous judge and he's trying to keep you in line. That's what— that's what Holy Ghost is in your life for, to convict you. Okay, that's— y'all read your Bible. Okay, let's pray this. Let's pray this. Oh my God, let's pray this. Glory to God. So, so Father, we thank you for, for the tapestry you weaved in our heart. Even God, we thank you for a clean heart because we can only clean our heart through the word. We can be only washed by the cleansing of the word. And so when the word is hid in our heart, we won't sin against you. So Father, I'm asking you today in the name of Jesus that we will continue to hide the word of God in our heart so that when temptation arise, we will listen to the word that supersedes the temptation, that has more power and authority than the temptation. And Father, we thank you that we will not sin against you. Because the word is in our heart. And God, as we hear the word, as we grow in the word, glory to the name of God, we will see power and authority moving our life like never before, in the mighty name of Jesus. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Somebody, uh, Shabbat, ought to hide the word in their heart. Are we still in Psalm 119? Let's drop down again to 37. I'm gonna read 37:40 and 50 for the sake of not reading all of this, right? 37:40 and 50. The Bible says, turn away my eyes from looking at worthless things. So change my perception and focus away from things that are worthless, that add no value, that don't add revival, that's going nowhere, right? He says, and revive me in your way. So perception, what I'm looking at, my vantage point has a lot to do with revival. Ooh-wee. See, a lot of times we think only thing that brings revival is prayer and worship. It's how you perceive. So your perception has to change. Some things just— some old ways are antiquated and outdated. Some things, glory to God, are not for this season. And you gotta know what's for this season, and you got to know what God is calling for in this season of dominion, the season of power, the season of prosperity. And your eyes need to be focused on that. You can't be trying to beat a dead horse focusing on something that's over, man. Some things, the season just was missed on some things, and we have to accept that because if we were out of the will of God, we weren't aligned, we missed the season. But, but it doesn't mean there's not anything new because, because every morning he gives us new mercies. Glory to God. And he anoints us with fresh oil. Glory to God, to accomplish something fresh. That's what revival is. So, you know, we got to turn away from, glory to the name of God, worthless things and be revived in his way. God, what are you planning? What do you desire for me in this space of dominion? Revive me in your way, you know, not, not how I want things, not how I see things. Revive me in your way. I know it's hard for some, man, because some people is their way or no way. But the reality is God's way is the only way. And while he's transcendent and imminent at the same time, his imminence should always be honored, which means it should be his way or no way, right? Not, okay, well, I'm gonna just do it my way this time and get some mercy and get some grace. Come on, man. No, we need to practice alignment. God said it, I'm gonna practice doing this because this is what God said. Okay, y'all got it? Okay, uh, I'm gonna drop down to 40. He says, behold, I long for your precepts. Precepts, which is intellect. Ceps The word seps is intellect, it's innovation, it's ideas, it's what we give us, right? Concept, intercept. To intercept means to block or stop an idea or innovation, a concept. Hallelujah. Are y'all hearing this? Is, is a, is an introduced idea, innovation that goes against an old idea. Idea. But he says, Lord, I want to know your precepts, what your ideas, your innovations, what you've known about me before I was even born. That's good stuff, man. I want to know the precepts. What were you thinking about Michael Woods? What was you thinking about us, God, before we even came to this planet? Give us the precepts. Oh boy, that'll teach and preach all day long. I'm gonna leave it alone because I can stay there. Watch it. He said, revive me in your righteousness. Another element of revival is righteousness. This word here is in what is accurate, is in, in what you have said, what is right for my life. And this is not just behavior, this is purpose, this is assignment, this is dominion. Revive me in what you have created to be right for me. This is what the psalmist is saying. We're gonna pray this in a moment, right? Because we, we don't want to miss it. We want to be right. We want to be on point. We're going to be in alignment. We want to, we want to walk in the precept, the, the pre— before— the idea, the innovation, the purpose, the— oh God— the desire of him for us before we even got here. That's so good, man. Okay, verse 50. Verse 50. I'm dropping down to 50. I'm almost done, y'all. Stay with me. Ah, this is my favorite. Zion. So 40 was under— 40 was under the banner of— watch this— wah, W-A-W, wah in Hebrew. And, and wah, I love this, wah deals with the idea that the plans of God are unchangeable. So that the Hebrew letter W says whatever God says is permanent. Waw is permanent. It cannot be altered. It cannot be shifted back to a fleshly idea. It cannot be denounced. So watch this. If your ways and your behaviors are denouncing it, God said, okay, I'm gonna step back to you ready to align with what can't be changed. Which is why a lot of times we enter into unnecessary struggle because we have spent time trying to change God's mind about what he decided. He's not gonna get on your program. You got to get with his program. Wow. Hallelujah. What he's already thought and planned. Now watch this. Zion captions these verses where 50 is found. Zion is the Hebrew letter Z, which is the end. Now here's the interesting thing about this. In the middle of the longest division or chapter— this— Psalms are not chapters, they're divisions— but it's the longest division in the Bible. So there's no other chapter or division in Psalms that is equal to this. In the middle of this long division, he puts the end. What am I saying to you prophetically? I want you to grab this. In the middle of where you are, God wants to bring revival, and he's saying there's an end to where you are, and the end is upon you now. Glory to the name of God. Right in the middle of what you're going through, God said, bam, I'm bringing it to an end, Zion, and I'm giving you hope. This, this verse 50 says, this is the comfort in my affliction. For your word has given me life, or in King James, has given me reason to hope. Hope is life. So another element of revival is hope. And when affliction comes, it's a sign that you got a reason to hope. It's a sign that God wants to bring forth revival. When there's lack in a certain area, it's a sign that God is saying, line up, because I'm getting ready to do something. Get, get in place. Don't miss this to the left or right. I'm getting ready to do something in your life you've never seen. It's gonna be our last one. We're gonna pray this. I got more scriptures, but I'm gonna pray, and, and we're gonna honor our hour of prayer. Glory to God. I hear you, Father. We're going to close it right here because this is good. God has given us hope in the middle of the affliction. It's a sign you should hope. And when people see you operating that level of hope, it ignites revival. Evil, and they want to know how you can have hope in the midst of all this stuff that's going on in our world. How can you have hope when everybody's getting laid off on this job? How can you have hope when the economy is the way it is? It's because we're revived in the word. Oh my God, let's pray, let's pray. Glory to God. So Father, we remember the word to your— as we are your people. And Father, so thank you for reviving us in righteousness. We thank you for the precepts. We thank you for the things that you knew aforetime about us, God. We thank you, God, for the ideas, the innovations. And I pray this morning in the name of Jesus for every person under the sound of my voice, inclusive of myself, God. Matter of fact, put your hand in your belly. I decree and declare, as we lay hands in our belly this morning, we declare that the innovations, the ideas, the precepts, the kingdom dominion boundaries that you're bringing alive in our life. We decree and declare, God, in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare that those things are coming alive now in the name of Jesus. We declare that no weapon formed against our destiny, no weapon formed against our life, that no weapon will be able to prosper, God. And we thank you. Come on, rub that belly. That this thing is being stirred now in the name of Jesus, and we thank you that it will manifest because you're going to revive have us in accuracy, in rightness. We declare, God, that we will not miss it to the left nor to the right, God, but we'll be in alignment with what you have perceived and created a precept for. We already have the gift, we already have the ideas, we already have the talents, we already have the anointing to be dominionaires, to produce revival in the earth, and we declare it in the name of Jesus. Jesus. Father, we thank you that your word gives us reason to hope, that our affliction gives us reason to hope. And may the hope that we carry ignite revival, and that again there be a multiplicity of dominion, a multiplicity of ministry that birth forth, and that humans will begin to take their place because we take take our place.
