Chapters
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Glory to Hallelujah! Pleasant good morning, everyone. This is the day the Lord has made, and we rejoice and we are glad in it. Thank you, uh, for being here, and thank you for a desire to seek the Lord. The Bible tells us to seek him early while he may be found. Glory to the name of God. And that, that says a whole lot. And when we engage the Lord in early mornings, it's an amazing thing. So please, guys, come on in. I see you there, Pastor Jeffrey. God bless you. Uh, good morning. Good morning, Minister Anderson. Good morning, Minister Burns. Listen, you guys do me a kind favor and Tag people below, please share this. Uh, we're going to speak to the Father this morning, and we believe that the Lord has great things, uh, in store for us. We are streaming over 4 different platforms this morning. We are streaming over Facebook, YouTube, um, 3 Facebook pages and 1 YouTube channel. So guys, please do us the kind favor and help us to share. Good morning, Diane, good to see you this morning. Glory to the name of God. Come in, everybody. Glory to God. We're gonna pray this morning, and I just feel impressed in my heart to pray for people. Glory to God. For the humans of the earth, and that includes you and I. And, uh, we're going to walk through some scripture where we are actually going to pray for people, and, and specifically, we're going to pray, um, that people will become hungry, thirsty, mindful of God, that people who are not saved would desire God. Uh, because we live in a time where people don't prioritize who God is because there's so many things going on around us. People just feel like they don't need God and they just kind of exist. But there has to be a hunger that is ignited in them to— because the Bible said no man come to the Father except God draw them. But what causes God to draw, or suguru in Greek, to drag them, to pull them to himself, is that election that is already inside of them. But he will never force them to serve him, but they have to be sensitive to the drawing. And so a lot of things the Bible talks about, signs and wonders Um, it also talks about signs of the times. So all of these things are indicators. When we see God moving in power, when we see the signs of the times happening, it's an indicator, family, that one, like never before, Jesus is soon to come and claim his church, claim his people. And we want every person that's supposed to receive him to be ready, you know. And I, again, it's this doctrine out here that says everybody's already saved, you know. The devil is a liar right there. I'm telling you, you, you have to receive Jesus. You got to open your heart. You got to let him in. He's not going to force his way into your life. You have to choose him. And this is what our prayers are going to be about this morning. As a matter of fact, the Bible declares in 2 Chronicles 7:14. If my people who are called by my name— and so this really is the premise, the foundation, the substratum about praying this morning. If my people— we are his people, hallelujah. We are called by his name. The Bible says, if my people who are called by his name will humble themselves and pray seek my face, turn from their wicked ways, then I'll hear from heaven, I'll heal the land. So, um, so we're praying for the people of the world, but we're also praying for the people called by his name, that we'll humble ourselves, move in humility to God, right? That we'll humble ourselves and crave and desire him. Glory to God. Seek his face. Above everything else, make him the first priority for real, not just the testimony service priority where we stand up and say, give it unto God, who's the head of my life. And really, after we say that, he's really not the head of anything. The reality is he should be the head of our lives and every situation in our lives. We should put him first and make him the head. Amen. So This morning we're going to be praying around that premise, and we're going to trust that God, hallelujah, is going to meet us here today. Isn't God good, family? He's, he's so good. He, he, he good, man. He is so good. So we have 2 Chronicles 7:14 again is our first scripture that says, if my people— and I'm reading this out of Amplified— who are called by my name shall humble themselves, pray, seek, crave— listen to these words— require of necessity my face. Wait a minute. So he says, as the people of God— and I'm just going to reiterate this again— we should seek, crave, and require as a necessity— wait a minute— his face. That, you know, the Amplified just kind of unpacks all the Hebrew terms. So seek crave, require as a necessity his face. What does that mean, Michael Woods? That means, hear me, that we must begin to require the face of God as a necessity. Now there's something called anthropomorphic terms when you're reading the Bible. So anthropomorphic term is when you read face, hear this, when you read face, it means God actually has a face. So what's in his face? Well, in his face is his eyes. In his face is his nose. In his face is his mouth. All right, the ears are considered a part of the face. In his face is his ears. So, uh, God, we're made in his image and likeness. So God, anthropomorphically, God has ears, he has eyes, he has a nose, he has a mouth. Watch this. The reality is we need to require his eyes as a necessity. So we need to see life, the world, things that we're dealing with, things that we're facing through his eyes and not our own eyes. We need to require his nose as a necessity. We need to have the sensitivity of the Holy Spirit and sense things— hear me, family— as he does. Oh my God. Oh my God. We gotta sense things as God does. Wait a minute, in his face is his mouth. So we've got to require his speech, which is creatorial, his speech which is powerful, that with his mouth he creates, with his— he speaks and men live, he speaks and men lay down and die. We need to require his voice as a necessity, and we need to be speaking his language. Glory to God. We need to have his ears. We need to hear. Watch this, as God hears the cries of the people, we need to be sensitive with our ears to hear that even when people are acting out in evil ways, that they are yet crying out to God. I'm a she, my. Woo shatta, lebu sutu rababandia. So even when you behold the evil around us, there's something inwardly that's crying out for God, and we need to be sensitive to that. So we'll take our place and begin to minister and witness to these people. So he says, require of necessity my face and turn from their wicked ways. So that term means to take a 180 and go in another direction from wickedness. So, so this morning as we pray, I want you really to examine yourself, that if there any— if there's anything in you sinful, all right, if there's anything in you, glory to God, that comes short of God's glory, it could be lack of faith, lack of moving in purpose. It could be fear and doubt. All of these things are wicked, okay? And you may say, oh my God, I'm human. But yeah, I want you to work on them. We got to examine ourselves daily and where we come short in our thought life, in our word life. Watch this, the face of God, where we lack operating in the face of God. It's wicked when we know better, okay? Wickedness is simply, uh, sinful ways that go against the ways of God. So it's, it's not necessarily wicked just because it's, it's witchcraft or whatever. It's wicked, man, if it's going against scripture, if it's going against premise and principle. I hear you, I hear you. Somebody say, Apostle, I didn't get up this morning for this. Listen, yes you did. We, we need this, man. We, we, we gotta turn around wicked ways. Why? He said, then, then, which means only then, when you humble yourself, seek, crave my face, required as a necessity, and turn from your wicked way, then, only then, will I hear from heaven and heal your land and forgive your sin. So we want the land healed, right? We want the people of the land healed. We want— watch this— we want to end this. Listen, cancer is a problem. And we want to see that thing eradicated. Well, we got to humble ourselves and pray. We want to see people made whole, man. Glory to God. We want to see the power flow freely out of our lives. Glory to the name of God. And, and listen, we want to be so— see, so many times, and I'm gonna say this very emphatically, very seriously, so many times we're concerned about what God doesn't do and we don't celebrate what he's doing. We be looking at all the stuff he ain't doing. But I want to challenge you, man, to walk in a place where you celebrate what he is doing. And, and you understand, the more you celebrate what he is doing and you're faithful of what he is doing, he'll make you ruler. He'll make us ruler over many things. Glory to God. And we'll see the power flowing with great consistency. Great consistency. Glory to God. So let's pray. Glory to God. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for 2 Chronicles 7:14. And I pray this morning for those that are under the sound of my voice. I pray, dear God, for every person, hallelujah, that's born again in this land, and every person that has not received you. And Father, I decree and declare, God, first of all, we will desire we will seek, we will crave and require your face as a necessity. And Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that there will be a diligent desire and craving for your face, for the— for your eyes, for the way you see things, for your vantage point, for your perspective. God, we thank you that you'll give us the sensitivity of your nostrils, and God, that we'll speak your language out of our mouth. God, for we even believe that blessing and cursing cannot come out of the same mouth. So Father, in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare that we'll speak faith and not fear. We'll speak faith and not doubt. We'll speak according to your word, and we give you praise. Ha! Oh God, we'll call those things that are not as though they were, because through our lips and through our mouths we will flow in creatorial power Glory to God. Hallelujah. And we will create with the fruit of our lips and we will see the manifestation of your promises in our life because of what we say and because of what we speak in the name of Jesus. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Somebody ought to praise God for what he's doing. And Father, we declare we are your people. We are your people that is called by your name. And thank you for hearing our prayers, God. And moving by your spirit in our land. Glory to God, we give you praise, we give you glory. Let's go to Luke. Hallelujah. 2— 21. Luke 21, and we're gonna look at verse 11, verse 25, and verse 26. All right, so Luke 21:11 says this: And there will be great earthquakes in various places, and famines and pestilences, and there will be fearful sights and great signs from heaven. Well, Jesus is teaching in Luke 21 about the signs of the time, and I'm reading this this morning because these are things that are happening. Glory to God. And Father, I hear that. Yes, Lord. Uh, and, and even as we pray this morning, we're going to begin to pray, uh, for the state of California. We're going to begin to pray for those that are around the Pacific Ocean in any part of the world, because I just heard in the spirit there's something going on right now in the water. Laba surekisa tatamasutu rabakanse anaya turamandiasata in the Pacific region. Something happening in the water. Glory to God. And, uh, we're going to see in the days to come an earthquake like we've never seen it before in the West Coast. But we're going to pray this morning, glory to God, that one, that earthquake will not bring harm or bring destruction. We're going to ask for God's grace in that area. And secondly, we're going to ask that it serve as a sign because of the numbers that will indicate on the Richter scale of the earthquake that it will be— it will break historical— oh my God, historical boundaries. And the earthquake will be so strong, glory to God. And the fact that it does not harm people, people will know that is God, and many will begin to serve him. Glory to God. Glory to God. We give you praise. We give you praise, Father. We give you praise. Yet there's something happening in the Pacific regions in the water. Ah, Masura bakasa talabatiasa. There's the, the tectons and the, uh, parameters in the sea, uh, is shifting in a way that is going to send a massive vibration to the West Coast, specifically California. But Father, we give you praise. My God, this morning we give you glory. And we give you glory, God, for victory now. And we believe that pestilence, the disease and the earthquakes that we have seen and that we will see, God, these are signs of the times. And we thank you, God, in the name of Jesus, for covering us, for protecting us, God. We thank you, Lord, that there are there are famines and earthquakes and floods and natural disasters and violence occurring all over the world. But Father, we thank you that even when these earthquakes hit the West Coast and these things that are happening now in the Pacific Ocean— woo— as they begin to materialize and cause these massive earthquakes, Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you that no one will be harmed. We plead the blood of Jesus Christ over the West Coast. And we decree and declare that people will know that because of the massiveness and level of this earthquake, and when people— when there are no human lives claimed, hallelujah, they will know that it is you that has protected them, and they will desire God to come to you in the mighty name of Jesus. Glory to God. In the mighty name of Jesus. Drop down to— glory to God— verses, uh, 25. 25 and 26. Glory to God. Hallelujah. The Bible said there will be signs in the sun. Lord, we thank you. The word of God is prophesying to us this morning. In the moon and in the stars and on the earth, distress of the nations with perplexity. Oh my God. The sea and the waves roaring. Now I, and listen, and I didn't read, I don't read this prematurely before we pray. I had not even dropped down to 25 yet, and the Spirit started talking about this water. And here we go, right here in verse 25, talking about the sea. Glory to the name of God. And the waves roaring. And I'm telling you, something is happening in the water. But watch this, it even is talking now about signs in the sun. And we've been seeing these different kind of eclipses. And glory to the name of God. And these different kind of things happening with the moon. I need you to understand, glory to God, that we are in the signs of the time. And the Bible says men's heart would fail them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on earth. Watch this. These things will happen again to create a reverence toward God. They— God will cause these things to be so eerie and fearful that people will turn to God. And so Father, we pray this now, that even as the signs of the times begin to manifest themselves to us, we decree and declare that those that don't know you, hallelujah, they will reverence you and trust you for their deliverance. They will turn to you knowing that only you can cover and protect us and keep us from the things that are to come. And we praise you for it now. Glory to God. And God, even in this time, yes, men's heart are failing for fear, not the physical heart, but the cardia, the center of man's intention, the center of man's morality, the center of man's intellect, his passions, it's failing. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. But God, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will restore the soul of man and you will give man a heart to serve you and to follow your way. And do the things that you have said, God. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Glory to God. Amen. And thanks be to God. You ought to praise God. Hallelujah. Lord Jesus, you spoke of discerning the times. Glory to God. And, and with the Holy Spirit as our help, oh God, hallelujah, we declare we will watch and pray. Thank you, God. Hallelujah. Psalm 51. Glory to God. Let's go. 51:7. I give you praise, God. David is praying here and he says, Purge me with hyssop and I shall be clean. Wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. Oh God. So this is— so the Holy Spirit is leading us down this road because again, we got to turn from our wicked ways, right? And, and The beginning of turning from your wicked ways is true repentance, and true repentance starts with being purged. Are y'all with me? With hyssop, being washed and being made clean with hyssop. And, and this, this is basically just indicating to us that we need to be bathed— hear me— in the deepest Hear me, hear me, family. In the deepest kind of bath that will cleanse us the most, we need to purify ourselves from the inside out. And so we want to pray this morning that God will purge our mind, he will purge our thoughts, he will purge the hidden sins of the heart. Glory to God. He will purge the things that we think, the things that we desire. Glory to God. That are not of him. And, and I just sense strongly in my spirit this morning that there are many of you that are having battles that you may not actually do a thing, but you think it. And this morning, God wants to purge you of even those thoughts, because your thoughts can be pure. We got to stop making excuses. Oh, I'm just human. It's just thoughts. But listen, at the end of the day, yes, you are human, but you are also more so a spiritual being. Matter of fact, glory to the name of God, that fact we are actually— whoo, glory to God— spiritual beings having a temporary human experience, not the other way around. Glory to God, you're not a human being having a temporary spiritual experience. Matter of fact, you are more spiritual than you are human. Your spirit man— watch this— whether you're, you're being led or influenced by an evil spirit or the Spirit of God actually controls the outcomes of your life. Your tripartite being your body, your soul, your spirit. Your spirit is Zoe life, that's the God kind of life. Your soul, ah, glory to the name of God, is psuche life, psychological life, mind, will, emotion. Your body is bios life, which it only exists because the soul and spirit cause it to. You live because of the influence of your spirit and the decisions that come out of your intellect and the soul. So we have to decide we're going to allow God to purge those things from the inside, even better, that you ain't doing. Jesus said if you think on a woman— wow, my God— and you desire it with your heart and you lust after her, you've already committed adultery. So it's not what you do, it's what you think, is what's in your spirit. So we're going to pray this morning that you be purged with hyssop. Yeah, we can be better. Are y'all hearing me? We can make the right decisions. Glory to the name of God. David goes on to say, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow. So we know snow is purely white. And it, it only gains any type of impurity when it hits the ground. So God is saying he wants to make us whiter than snow through his precious blood. Now, and I, I hear you, I hear you. Well, when he did that on the cross, I, I became whiter. So yes, the blood made you whiter than snow, but there were some things that lingered after you received Jesus that you need to be cleansed on the inside of. Glory to God! The blood washes you. It makes you clean. It saves you. But here's the problem: your spirit is clean, your soul— because he saves the spirit, he renews and regenerates the spirit. But your soul has to be regulated and come under submission. Your— you watch it. And your body as well. Your body, when you get saved, it used to having sex, it's used to lying, it's used to cussing, it's used to doing whatever sinful thing you were doing. Now we, hmm, when God saves you, the body now has to be brought under subjection. That's why Paul says, I could preach to you, he said, lest by any means I don't bring myself under subjection, he said, I too will be a castaway. In other words, yeah, my spirit received redemption, but if I keep operating against the spirit in my body, Oh boy, oh boy, I can be a castaway. So we're gonna pray Psalm 51:7 this morning. All right, y'all, I hope y'all got that. Oh my God, Father, we praise you and we thank you for your precious blood. And so, Father, we're asking you this morning to purge us as hyssop. Purge us, cleanse us from the inside out, from spirit to body. Cleanse us with hyssop, make us clean, oh God. Hallelujah. Purge us with hyssop, God, that there are no impurities in us. God, we're calling on you today that every thought in our mind, every device in our heart that doesn't align with your will, with your word, with your plan for us, God, purge us. God, purge us, cleanse us, make us whole. We want to be like you. God, purge us of worldly desire, worldly lust. Purge us of the desire to, hallelujah, operate in darkness, or to live, as the old saints would say, on the fence where we straddle back and forth. But God, purify us, because your word declares to the pure all things appear. Yeah, and we thank you for that. So, so that whatever we do, we do it out of a purity of mind, a purity of thought, a purity of heart, with no ill motives. With no hidden desires. God, in the mighty name of Jesus, cleanse us, wash us, and we shall be whiter than snow. So I thank you for pure purity, the purity that will be exemplified. We'll be whiter than snow because white snow can be seen, and so people will see the purity that operates out of our life. Because you have cleansed us and we have had a desire to be clean. David praised his God because he desires cleanliness. He has committed a sin, glory to God, that many would judge as heinous. But God, after he praises, you call him a man after your own heart because of his desire to be cleansed from the inside out. So Father, we're asking you, cleanse us. From the inside out, so that things that we do or think or say that disappoint you, we won't do, think, or say them anymore. But our words will be pure, our thoughts would be pure, our mind would be pure. Oh God, in the name of Jesus. Oh my God, we give you glory, God. We give you glory. Hallelujah. We give you honor, Jesus. Go to Matthew 16:3. The Bible says, and in the morning it will be foul weather today, for the sky is red and threatening. Hypocrites, you know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of the time. Now these— oh my God— prophetic types. Jesus is talking directly to prophetic types, uh, people who operate in familiar spirits, which is the worst kind, because people who operate in familiar spirits are deceived. And there, there are people in the church who are deceived who think they are hearing from God. Hear me. But they are really operating in familiarity, and they're speaking out of familiarity. This is dangerous. Psychics, all right, familiar spirits, psychics, soothsayers, all right, these people, astronomers, numerologists who have the ability to use these entities to discern what's going on in, in with horoscopes and all that stuff. Listen, I got one horoscope. Somebody asked me the other day, what's your sign? I'm gonna tell you, I The blood of Jesus. Glory to God. That's my sign, the blood of Jesus, the cross. I— because I have no belief in these systems, right? That there's some people that can't live without checking their horoscope. They live by the fact I'm a Cancer, I'm a Leo, I'm a Pisces. Listen, no, what you ought to be is under the blood. Glory to the name of God. Because these things, glory to the name of God, operate from a root of familiarity. They operate from a lower system of spirituality. It's spirituality, but it's not godly. It's of the devil. All right, so you, you don't ever want to demote yourself as a child of God and operate in a lower level of spirituality by checking with your psychic, checking with a witch or a warlock. There are prophets And if I call some of their name, which I'm not led to do at this time in, in this platform, but maybe in a different platform I can share this, but there are prophets out here who actually consort with witches and warlocks that— very popular prophets— and they buy prophecies. And they say what the witch or the warlock or the— oh my God— astrologist told them over the people of God. And it's a familiar spirit, and people will jump and shout and run over that stuff, and it wasn't even from the heart of God. But they do it to be sensational. They do it to appear a certain way. Like they're hearing from God, when really they paid to get a word that they delivered from someone who's operating in a lower system. So Jesus said, you can do all this, and he called them hypocrites, right? He said, you know how to discern the face of the sky, but you cannot discern the signs of time. So they can look at the stars and see the zodiacs and, and predict different things, but they can't discern that he's real, that he's really on his way back, and that he's looking for a church without spot or wrinkle. They can't discern that we're in the last days for real. So we want to pray, glory to God, hallelujah, that we will have a strong spirit of discernment, glory to God, that will operate in the highest system of discernment. That we'll never move in familiarity where we think we're hearing from God and it's really our flesh. It's really a futile attempt at best to appear deep when we're really very shallow. See, a, a person that really operates in mature discernment, a strong prophetic authority, right, that person spends time with God. You can't really be a strong prophet. Hear me, family, if you struggle with prayer. Listen, if you struggle with prayer and you're prophesying, most of the prophecy you're doing is coming out of your flesh. Because at the end of the day, it's in the place of prayer, it's spending time going back to 2 Chronicles 7:14, which is the root of all of this this morning. If you don't desire or crave or require God's face as a necessity, which again, as a prophet or a person that's discerning, that's through your spiritual eyes. You need to see things like he sees them. Anything else is a lore system and it's not of God. All right, so Father, in Jesus' name, number one, we pray we will never be hypocritical concerning discernment. But God, that our ear will be to your mouth and we will discern what you say. We will discern what you see, God. Our eyes will be aligned with your eyes and we'll have no, uh, ambiguities. We won't have no lucid— lucidness, God. We will know exactly what to do because we'll discern through your eyes. We'll only speak out of our mouth 'cause we require and crave your face as a necessity. What you say, not what we feel. Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God. And we'll do it in faith, trusting that your voice is speaking to us by virtue of the time and relationship we have with you. We thank you that our gifts will continue to mature and grow. I pray over every person that's watching us. Hallelujah. That your spiritual gifts will mature and grow and increase, and you will operate in discernment of spirit. You'll operate in the gift of prophecy. You'll operate, glory to God, in word of wisdom, word of knowledge, glory to the name of God, word of faith. You'll operate, dear God, hallelujah, in miracles, glory to God, healings, hallelujah. We thank you, God, that you will use us in great ways. And our gifts will continue to grow and will operate from your face, from your face, not our flesh. Will operate from your face and not our flesh in the name of Jesus. We'll approach life with great discernment. When things happen, we won't jump to conclusions and we'll make— we'll discern understanding that nothing is ever as big as it first appears. Oh, the— andiku shata, remando kushibaya, brinsetu rabankisoto, rabayato, rabiseta. Yeah, nothing is ever as big as it first appears. I don't know who that is for, somebody watching this, maybe here or by replay, but the Lord said to tell you, stop freaking out. Stop freaking out when stuff happens, when stuff occurs, when you get a doctor's report, when something goes down in your family, when something happens that just in the world that just kind of shakes you or blows your mind, listen, stop freaking out because God said nothing is ever as big as it first appears. And really, if you look back over your life, you'll notice that nothing really ain't as big as it looks, man. It really is, really, it really is not. Glory to the name of God. It really is not. Thank you, Jesus. It really isn't. And so you have to calm down. Glory to God. And choose, my God, to trust God in spite of what things look like. Are we here? Glory to the name of God. Ah, glory to God. I, I got to get through this. Praise God. I got to get through this. God have mercy. Lord have mercy. Let's, let's go because I don't want to hold you long, but I feel Jesus on this prayer this morning. Glory to the name of God. Listen, Listen, let's go to Matthew. I got to get through these. Hallelujah. I'm sorry, Isaiah 6:6. Isaiah 6:6. Let's go there first. The Bible says, and we're going to read 6 and 7. The Bible says, then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hands a live coal which he had taken with the tongs of the altar. And when he touched my mouth with He said, behold, this has touched my lips. Your iniquity is taken away and your sin is purged. Oh, here we go again. Glory to God. First of all, verse 6 introduces us to the fact that angels, one, are real. That's what seraphim is, a type of angel. Don't have time to teach on angels this morning totally, but I do want to give you— because that's what this is saying, and this is what we're about to pray— that angels would interact with us to bring purity in our lives and purity in the world. So a lot of times people are trying to live holy and do the right thing on their own without the assistance of heaven. Listen, you need the Holy Ghost. You need angelic involvement in your life. Seraphim, cherubim, angels are ministering spirits. Watch this, and they are a subtype to the Holy Ghost, which means also they are a subtype to you. Watch this. The Bible said he has made us a little lower than the angels. That isn't talking about the angels we're talking about now. The word angels in that text in Psalm 8 is Elohim. So the Bible said God has made us a little lower than him. We're a little lower than God. Oh boy, I may get in trouble for that, but you study your Bible. That's— it's in there. It's in there. Study your Bible. So at the end of the day, we're made a little lower than God, which gives you authority over angelic beings. And the Bible further goes on to say that angels hearken, in another passage, to the voice of the word. So we got to learn to employ our angels and put them to work to bring to pass the word of God in our life. That's what they're there for. Most of y'all got all the angels that are assigned to you, you've never really employed them. They just following you around every day. You praying your prayers and trusting God, but you need to put the angels, hallelujah, to work to bring to pass the covenant. 'Cause the Bible says they hearken to the voice, woo-wee, of the word. So when you speak the word and what the word has promised you, angels get in place to bring that word to pass. Now, This text shows us that angels for real is a ministering spirit, because in this place where the prophet was, Isaiah, he, he was in an open vision and he saw the angels. He— so when you step inside of an open vision, inside of a new dimension, because watch this, there are portals beyond— ah God, oh God, listen, listen, I don't have time, but I'm telling you, the Holy Ghost is downloading to me right now. When you step into these new dimensions. And many times, you know, I step into these places in prayer, you begin to experience the realm that you're in. You see, that's why the Bible said walk in the spirit, that you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh. That's not just living holy. The word walk means to be deported into. So, so it means, so now in prayer and in worship, worship should become a vehicle that deports you into the spirit realm. Glory to God. And now you're able to tangibly walk through the spirit realm. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Woo! My God. And you're able to handle and see the things that are happening. And watch this, even interact with the beings that are in the realm, which are angels. So here we go. Isaiah's in the realm, and an angel takes tongs off the altar, which is on fire, where the fire of God is. Glory to God. Puts those tongs in his mouth. Hallelujah. And takes away his iniquity. Ah, God. Preparing him— watch this— to be a national prophet so he can go and fulfill his assignment and prophesy. And notice a few verses above this, in the year King Uzziah died, he says, I saw the Lord. Again, he was in a realm, but you can't tap into this realm until— wait a minute— Uzziah dies. Oh, Uzziah represents religion, uh, and religious people keep doing the same thing over and over again expecting spiritual results. Religious people are still looking for God. They really never tap into relationship. They go through the motions. They know what church supposed to sound like. They know what a church looks like. They know how to act in a church building. But glory to God, people who have tapped into a deeper dimension— when Uzziah dies, which is again religion, pride, pride, carnality, dependence on lower systems. Here we go again. I— once he died, because, because watch this, Uzziah wasn't even a bad king. If you study Uzziah, read your Bible, man, read your Bible, read your Bible, please read, please study, study to show yourself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed. I want y'all to read for real. Uzziah was a good king, he took care of the people. But because he took care of them so good, they had so much homage and trust in him, they wasn't trusting God. And watch this, Isaiah was prophesying for 21 years before he saw the Lord. So which means God will use you for the people even unplugged. From relationship. That's another message for another day. Let's pray this. Father, we give you praise. God, have mercy. We thank you. We glorify you. We honor you, God. So I'm praying today, God, that your people, that those under the sound of my voice, Father, that they will encounter new realms of the spirit, new realms of glory. I rebuke the spirit of religion. I command Isaiah in their life to die. Every religious thing, everything that they have emotional attachment to, emotional commitments to. Father, we break those things now in the name of Jesus. There are people under the sound of my voice that's holding on to things that God is trying to take. They're holding on to relationships, they're holding on to cultures and people and things that they're involved in because they're emotionally and religiously attached. But God, we break that now. Oh my, in the name of Jesus, that they may have freedom to flow in new realms, to, ah, Ah, glory to God, to experience new heights and new depths of your glory and your anointing. In the mighty name of Jesus. And as we do this, as we experience our angels, God, we employ them even this morning. Your word declares, angels hearken to the voice of thy word. And so, Father, your word even says that you will give us higher heights and deeper depths. So we release angels at our charge, glory to God, to bring your people into higher heights and deeper depths in you. And they will experience you in ways they have never known, and you will show them your glory in the mighty name of Jesus. I got— I pray, glory to the name of God, that systems that have had our loved ones bound. I decree and declare that we release angels. I don't know who this is for. Glory. Shamando lobokusha tatabaye lebosutu ramanganse. But I command prison systems to release your loved ones. I send angels in the name of Jesus. Glory dabansatai. To cause prison doors to open. Lebosutu. Taksotu rabakansé. I command the system, hallelujah, to come subject to the word of the living God. And I demand freedom in Jesus' name. God, even those that are bound in spiritual prisons in their mind, those that have gone through seasons of molestation and rape and they've been traumatized in their life, God, I decree and declare healing and deliverance is the children's bread. And you came to set the captive free. I declare in the name of Jesus, Jesus. Oh my God, that freedom is here now. And we put angels to work from the prison of debt. God, those that are in debt, I don't know who this is for, but God, in the name of Jesus, we declare that debt will be eliminated. That we thank you for, oh my God, hallelujah, title deeds to houses, mortgages will be burned. I decree and declare that we will get titles to cars. I declare in the name of Jesus, credit cards will go to zero balance. And I declare in the name of Jesus, supernaturally, we will owe no man nothing but to love him. And Father, we thank you that our angels are hearkening to that word now, that we will not live in debt. We— the borrower is slave to the lender. So we declare we will be lenders and not borrowers according to your word. So we release angels Hallelujah! Glory to God to liberate us now and bring freedom. Eh, shabba lo kusha tatamandi oso, reme sutai leki santo sebe posu turangise. In the name of Jesus, we declare— amma— God, we declare it to be so in Jesus' name. Glory to God, glory to God. Something's happening in this prayer this morning. Glory to God. I challenge every person on here to please be obedient and share this prayer this morning. Somebody is going to get liberated. Breakthrough is going to happen for somebody that goes back and watch this prayer. Just by the word that the Holy Spirit is breaking forth in us this morning, something's going to happen. And I promise you, as you're obedient and give this to someone else, we're blessed to be a blessing. Please guys, share it. Glory to God. Not, not that people can know who I am. I really could care less about that. I want people to know him, and something special is on this live stream this morning. We give you glory, God. We give you honor. Matthew 26:41. Hallelujah. Watch and pray. Glory to God. Lest you enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. So Father, we decree and declare according to your word, we will watch, which means we will stand as a military garrison to guard and protect ourselves and those that are around us that that love us, that depend on us. We will watch. We will not just pray, but we will watch. We will watch in faith. We will watch in total absolute trust that you are with us. And Father, we thank you that indeed the spirit is willing and the flesh is weak. But we thank you now that under the sound of my voice, people are operating in new levels of spiritual relationship where their flesh is being are under subjection and they are doing the things, hallelujah, that please you, the things that bring you joy, glory to God, the things, hallelujah, that open up the windows of heaven and pour out blessing that they won't have room enough to receive. They are living an obedient life. I declare it in the name of Jesus in these last times that they may be a light to the world, world. So our watching and praying is not to be seen and that we may be glorified, but our watching and praying is that you, God, may be glorified. Uh, we are lights of the world. We are a city that sits on the hill that cannot be hid. And so may our life be a testimony to your goodness. May people know, hallelujah, just how good you are. We praise you, God. We honor your great name. You're so good. You're so good. James 5:16. Hallelujah. My God, today God is so good, people. James 5:16. Stay with me. Glory to the name of God. James 5:16 says this: Confess your trespasses to one another. Oh boy, here we go. And pray for one another. That you may be healed. Ah, the effective fervent prayer of the righteous man avails much. Okay, let's break this down. Confess your trespasses to one another. In context, this is what this means. If you have offended someone I need us to get in practice of doing this. If you said something and you didn't follow through with what you said, if you hurt someone, traumatize someone, glory to God, the Bible says confess those trespasses. So in context, James is saying, hey, you guys have offended each other in different ways. You need to go to that person that you offended, or that group of people that you offended, and repent. Confess, I was wrong, and, and seek forgiveness, not just from God. There's some people say, oh, all I need to do is confess to God. No, you need to confess to the person you offended. It. Somebody say, Apostle Woods, I didn't get up this morning for you to talk to me like this. Yes, you did. Yes, you did. God knew you needed to hear this. This is for somebody. Listen, let me, let me just be very transparent for you. Still today in my life, there are people I have offended in the past. I be trying to find them on Facebook because I want to confess Man, I was wrong. Or young lady, I was wrong. I shouldn't have did that. I shouldn't have said that. If I can't find them, I leave it in the hands of God. But, and I'm not telling you to be me. What I am saying, when you have opportunity to confess your offenses, do it. And then it said pray for each other because that's the next step. Yo, okay, I did this, so let's pray with each other. So watch this, so that we can be healed. So that this can be reconciled. Even if we never say anything else to each other again, let's reconcile this issue so that we're not— there, there's some— there's someone listening to me right now, live or by replay, hear me. You have offenses that you've done to people in your family, and watch this, some that have been done to you. Part of this is, even if you didn't bring the offense, You have to go to people, come on, and say, hey, this happened to me, you did this to me, I was offended, but I just want you to know I'm releasing you, I forgive you. Whether they admit it or not, you know, you got to give them the gift of forgiveness because that's what it is, it's a gift, right? But this is going to bring healing to you. You. Now, if they open up to it, everybody's going to be reconciled. And most of the time, in my experience, that's what happens. Okay, all right. He says the effective fervent prayer— ah, the word fervent deals with fire, but it also deals— watch this— with verbalization of the word. And this is exactly what we're doing today. This is what we're doing today. I ain't hollering because some people equate yelling with fire. And can I submit to you, and, and so for the record, before I say this, I'm a loud guy, right? Because that's just me. I'm a classical Pentecostal by nature, so I'm loud. But in many instances, people think because they're loud that they are on fire. No, fire is born out of the word, is born out of what God says. His words are fire. He is a consuming fire. So at the end of the day, the effectual fiery prayer that's fueled by the word of God, it returns much. So that's why we— it's another reason why we pray the word. Because when we pray the word— and that's why you got to get into practice of praying like I'm praying— pray the word. Speak that thing. God, your word says— pray the word and declare what he says out of your mouth. Several things are happening when you do that. The angels are getting in line. Glory to God. Hallelujah. You're going to see breakthrough and power. Glory to God. And consumption of everything that doesn't align with that word, because that word is on fire. And guess what? It's going to avail much. Avail means it comes back to you. When they first introduced, uh, ATM machines, one of the companies that was the spearhead of ATM was a company called Avail. And many people would call the machine because it would be on there, I'm going to the Avail machine. 'Cause guess what? You stick that card in, money comes out. The reality is you go to God, put that word in, the promise comes out. Are y'all getting this? All right, so let's pray this. Glory to God. So Father, in Jesus' name, y'all excuse me, I cut my alarm off. Father, in Jesus' name, we give you praise. We thank you for the word. We thank you for the fervent prayers of the righteous that avail much. And Father, we decree and declare that no weapon will come against tonight praying as we pray the word. We thank you, God, that where we've been offended, we will forgive. Where we have offended, we will seek forgiveness, God, in the mighty name of Jesus. And Father, have mercy on us, God, wherever we brought offense. And Father, lead us and guide us in how to reconcile to those we have offended. And Father, sometimes we understand it's not practical, but God, in the name of Jesus, at least Fix it in our heart, our desire to make things right. And Father, we give you glory knowing that your blood again washes us and makes us clean. Thank you for the effectual, continue, which is the continual prayer in the word that brings great returns to our life. We receive the promises, we receive the returns in Jesus' name. Amen. Glory to God. James 4:10, we're moving, I'm almost done. Glory to God. Listen, and I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm right inside of my hour right now. Glory to God. But I wanna, I wanna finish this, so stay with me. James 4:10, he says, humble yourself in the sight of the Lord and he will lift you up. Yeah, New King James Version, or he will exalt you. So humility is important. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for your word today, and I release the spirit of humility upon your people, and we decree and declare that we are humble people and we will humble ourselves under mighty hand of God. And we thank you, when we humble ourselves to your word, to your plan, to your purpose, to your desire, you will exalt us. And Father, we bind up every desire to exalt ourselves. We rebuke arrogance, we rebuke pride, and we humble ourselves under your hand. In Jesus' name, amen. Glory to God. Let's go to 1 Timothy. Praise God. Hallelujah. 2:1. We're gonna finish this assignment. Hallelujah. The Bible said, therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers— God ain't got time to teach this like I want to— intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men. So Father, in Jesus' name, even as Timothy has exhorted us to make prayers and intercessions and supplications for all men, Father, we do that this morning. We pray for the people of the world and we decree and declare, God, that even in the midst of this evil world, that your people will choose you, God, those that you have elected, selected, and protected to be saved. We declare that there will be a hunger that speaks— oh my God— that begins to stir and come up in their soul for you and the things that pertain to you. We decree and declare that people who are bound and stuck in religious systems, they will be set free and they will find liberty in the realm of the spirit. And we give you praise and glory for it now, in the mighty name of Jesus. Oh my God, we give you the glory, we give you the glory. 1 Peter 3:4, 1 Peter 3:4, the Bible says, rather let it be the hidden person of the heart with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. So Father, I pray for the hidden man of the heart, and I pray this morning, glory to God, that you will cause us to have an incorruptible, beautiful, quiet Spirit. And Father, your word says this is precious in your sight, which means that we will be at peace. We will not be brazen, we will not be argumentative, God, but we will— oh, rabba sikutu rabbandi ansa— move in peace, God. Do that for us today, even as we go into our day today. Help us to walk in peace in the mighty name of Jesus, and not be rambunctious, and not worry about how people who look at the outside, but God, you look at our heart. So beautify our heart, God, with power, with humility, with love, with joy, with long-suffering, with faith, with temperance. Beautify our heart, for these things are precious in your sight. In the mighty name of Jesus. Saint John 7:38, believe on me as the scripture has said. And out of your belly shall flow rivers, oh, shaman diosa, of living water. So Father, I thank you, one, for pistuo, belief. I pray, God, that your people would believe on you, not as man says, but as the Bible says, that we will believe that you are King of Kings, you are Lord of Lords, you are the light of the world, you are the bread of life. Hallelujah. You are the savior of the world. You're Alpha, You're Omega. You're a wonderful counselor, mighty God, Prince of Peace. You're Lily of the Valleys. You're wheel in the middle of a wheel, God. We believe on You as the scripture has said. We believe that You are our risen King. Glory to God. Hallelujah. And that we are peculiar people, a royal nation. Glory to the name of God. Set aside and sanctified for great works. Works. We believe as the scripture has said, and because of that, we declare that out of our belly will flow rivers of living water. Father, I release rivers in the life of your people this morning. Rivers, rivers, rivers, rivers of life that everywhere they go, everywhere we go, God, rivers will flow out of us and men will be saved. Men will receive baptisms in the Holy Ghost. Baptism in fire. Glory to God. We thank you that rivers of fire, rivers of joy, rivers of glory will flow out of our life. Rivers of prosperity and increase. Woo, my God, today will flow out of our life. We declare it. yeah, out of your belly. You just got to believe on him. Like, you— it just can't be a euphemism. You got to believe on him like the scripture says. That's why you got to study the scripture. For in them you think you had life. Do like the Bereans, study the scripture. For in them you think you have life. You'll find who he is. Hallelujah. Through studying him in the scripture. Glory to God. And believe Take it, put, put your confidence in it, and the exchange is out of your belly. It's gonna flow rivers. Oh, Amandiosa, of living water. Gloria, Amandiosa. We give you the glory, God. We give you honor. Matthew 5:5, real quick. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Father, keep us humble, keep us meek. And meekness is not weakness, but humble us before your hand. And God, we thank you for the inheritance of the earth, of this planet, that comes to us because of our humility, in Jesus' name. Revelation 22:1. 2. Almost done. Verse 1 and 2: And he showed me a pure river of water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding from the throne of the Lamb. In the middle of the street, on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore 12 fruits, each yielding its fruit for every month. And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nation. This is in heaven right now, for real. I mean, and, and, and I've seen a revelation of what this looks like. Early in my life in ministry, God showed me these trees because he was showing me that healing is for us every day of the month. Deliverance is for us every day of the month. It's for us, glory to God, to be able to operate from the river of life. Life is for us, and, and the leaves of the trees for the healings of the nation. Father, we invoke Revelation 22:1-2 on the planet of Earth now. Now in third world countries, here in the United States, all over the world. God, may the healing virtue of God flow out of us. Ah, Jesus. And may people be changed because of what you've done in our life. We bless you, God. We honor you. We bless you. Thank you for the leaves of the tree. Thank you for the river of life that flows into the world now. And may that connect to John 7:38. Today. And may you put heavenly downloads in us as we tap into new realms and dimensions, and let that river of life flow out of us into the world. And we praise you for it, God. Last scripture, guys. Psalm 139 and verse 23. Search me, O God, and know my heart. Try me and know my anxieties. I just want you to make sure you pray that with me this morning. If you haven't been praying with me all this morning. Pray this with me. Say, in the name of Jesus, I ask you, Father, to search my heart. If you find anything— say it— if you find anything that's not like you, say, Lord, take it out. Hallelujah. Strengthen me, know me, make me whole. Say, Lord, Purify me to the core that I may house and be a conduit for the things that pertain to you. In Jesus' name, we thank you, Lord, for this time of prayer. Amen. Glory to God. I pray this morning, my God, that you have been blessed. I pray that you have received of the Lord. Glory to God. I pray that the power of God will be with you all day. Glory to God.
