5 AM PRAYER WITH APOSTLE MIKE WOODS | DR. MIKE WOODS | 31 MARCH 26

Well, pleasant good morning everyone. Uh, my God, I pray that you are well. I pray you slept well. This is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice and we're glad in it. Listen, do me a favor this morning, share. I believe God's going to do something very powerful and miraculous for us Uh, if you see anybody from our family that may or may not be here, uh, please make sure they get on. Glory to God. I believe God's going to meet us here this morning. We're going to pray about dominating our health. We're going to pray about health and healing, man. God needs us healthy to do what he's called us to do. And you know, to be quite honest with you, I'm just really fed up with what I see the enemy doing in the health of God's people, of our family members, of our children. And the devil is a liar. This is God's promise to us, that we be whole, that we be healed, that we be healthy. Matter of fact, the Bible says he sent his word— y'all hear me— and it healed them. And so when, when the word of the Lord comes forth, man, we should be experiencing healing and deliverance at every turn. Healing and deliverance is the children's bread. It belongs to us. And when I look and see how God has blessed us in other areas, and then I see the enemy continuing to attack physically, it— we got to deal with this demon, this spirit of infirmity. That keeps coming against the minds of our families. It comes against the physical bodies, and it's over. This morning I declare and decree it's over. I, I receive the word that says with his stripes we are healed. In Isaiah 53, the Bible says that he was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. So he took the chastisement for peace in our body. My God. And with his stripes we are healed. He already took the pain. We shouldn't have to bear it. And, you know, I was— I've been up since about 3, I guess, and my grandson was crying. He's here, he's been sick, and, um I just, you know, and I sit down within my office, I start praying over him, and you know, I just trust God that healing and deliverance is going to come to every person that will receive it this morning. You know, I believe it's God's will that we have good health. So please, guys, this morning, share this. Again, I'm just— I'm here with this. We, we, we have to walk this stuff out by faith. We gotta stop accepting root systems that say sickness is okay. God allows sickness to teach us something. No, when that stuff is happening, there's a door open that we need to close, and we need to be very deliberate in closing it. And listen, and stop making excuses for God. He doesn't need your excuses. God wants to heal us, but if there's doubt, if there's fear, if there's not a holy boldness to stay— ah, shiku talabam dekoshia tatabaya— to stand against infirmity, infirmity will continue to reign. But the devil is a liar. I decree and declare this morning he will not win. So let's pray. Please guys, do me a favor, uh, share this word, and we're gonna jump into this. We're going to walk through the word and pray as we always do. But I wanna just start and then we'll get into this, the word piece of it. So let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, God, I give you glory. God, we worship you, we glorify you, we lift you up, we honor your name, God, and we decree and declare that besides you, there is no other. It's in you we live, it's in you we move, God. It's in you we have our being. And Father, we come before you today, thanking you and praising you for life, God. We thank you for health, we thank you for strength, God. And in the name of Jesus, Father, I just begin this time of prayer this morning with our family, God. I just stretch forth my hand this morning and I decree and declare every person, Under the sound of my voice, I declare by your power, they are healed. Your word declares, if there be any sick among us, God, let us call for the elders of church. Let us pray the prayer of faith and the sick would be made whole. This morning, we pray the prayer of faith over every person, over every family under the sound of my voice. And we declare, we cast the devil out of the mind. We cast the devil out of the body. Out of the body. We cast the devil out of the soul and the spirit of infirmity. We serve notice on you today, you strongman of infirmity. We decree and declare you must go in the name of Jesus. We plead the blood against you. Lebaka ndoshaki. Get your hands off of our body. Get your hands off of the mind. Lebokushka tatavata. We send you back to the pits of hell from which you emerged. And we decree and declare you have no authority. You have no authority in our life. The blood be against you in the name of Jesus. We kick you out of our houses. We kick you out of our houses. Our bodies are the temple of God and we kick you out. You illegally show up and bring sickness and we declare our body is a sickness-free zone. In the name of Jesus. And I speak over every person under the sound of my voice. Edebassor Abakatalaba, touch to heal, touch to heal, touch to heal, touch to heal. Kela tabababa. His presence, I'm telling you this morning, family, is here to heal. Kola bandekasi. Let him heal your heart. Let him heal your mind. Let him heal your body. Kotobassan ketetebe. Runkushkatelabande de de asotoku. Lobokushke, branse babangute labate. We give you the glory. Heal today, God. Heal today in the name of Jesus. Heal today in Jesus' name. Lobokushke tatatabaya. Be healed in Jesus' name. Be healed in Jesus' name. Rise and be healed in the name of Jesus. Ah, yeah, I keep hearing it. He was wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement, Isaiah 53:3, of our peace was upon him, and with his stripes we are healed. We're healed right now. We receive it, Father, in the name of Jesus. Thank you for your blood that was shed. Thank you for the stripes that you took for the healing of the nations, God. And we give you praise. Praise. We receive it right now. In the name— yes, God— in the name of Jesus. Come on, just lift your hands and give God praise where you are and receive your healing. I'm telling you, I decree and declare that we will no longer accept that sickness is something God desires or allows even. Glory to God. It only happens because doors are open many a times by doubt and fear. But we close every door in the spirit. And we relinquish access that the enemy has had to our physical body. And we plead the blood over the door. And we thank you, God, that even now we are healed. We are healed. We are healed. We rebuke cancer. We rebuke cancer in the name of Jesus. We command tumors to dissolve in the name of Jesus. We rebuke heart disease right now in the name of Jesus. We rebuke high blood pressure and diabetes in the name of the Lord Jesus. Jesus Christ. We rebuke autism. We rebuke Alzheimer's disease and dementia in the name of Jesus. We rebuke about pain in the joints. We command pain in the joints to cease. Pain in the knees, pain in the back. We could— but we rebuke blindness and deafness. Oh, tabakanda! We declare our bodies are not deteriorating, but we decree and declare our bodies are accelerating in the glory so we can fulfill purpose. Glory to the name of God. And our bodies, oh my God, are yielded under an eternal value. I declare it now in the name of Jesus that the manifestation of eternity, whoosh, will flow out of our body. God, you said in your word that we can sit in heavenly places. Places. So I declare in the name of Jesus, that right now, right now, God, right now, God, right now, Lord, Lord Jesus, that we sit, oh God, in heavenly places. We sit, utabasandolo bokoshi, in heavenly places. And there's no sickness in heaven. There's no sickness and disease in the kingdom. You said we could sit in heavenly place, so eperaneos, God, pour out the heavenly place, superimpose the heavenly place upon our physical body that sickness cannot dwell with us in the name of Jesus. Oh, rise and be healed. In the name of Jesus, he was wounded for your transgressions, for my transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. So he received the chastisement so our body can have peace. So I declare peace in the body right now. Lebako shu, rebebababan. Peace, peace in your body in the name of Jesus. Koraba, peace in your mind. Lekonte teba, peace in your soul. Your spirit, peace in your soul, peace. Hata, we receive the peace that Jesus brought us through his work of Calvary. We receive it by his precious blood. Elaba kaya, sum te ke se te te, sum ke te de bes ketu, rabba kalaba ote, te meski te de mundia, sum de ke te be eke, sum ba kata ya, se bete le bonguche ke. In the name of Jesus. Hallelujah, we thank you. James 5:15 says this, it says, and the prayer of faith, yes Lord, shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven. Forgiven him. So Father, we pray James 5:15 now. We pray the prayer of faith. We believe when we pray. We believe you cannot lie. If you said you would save the sick and you will raise the sick up, we don't doubt, we don't fear. We believe that by faith. We don't rationalize and analyze that. We believe that by faith that you will save our bodies. Woo! That you will rescue our bodies from sickness, disease, and deterioration. We receive it now in the name of Jesus. And Father, we repent of sin, any place we're missing the mark. God, have mercy upon us, because if our sins is opening doors that's causing sickness in our body. Ooh, kataba, bosu, rabakan, dete debasyan, tatabaya. God, close the door. If the sins of parents and ancestors, we bind them up in the name of Jesus. And we declare that the sins of parents and ancestors and predecessors, God, we declare they will not affect our lives. And we thank you that every curse from the generations before us is broken now in the name of Jesus. And we thank you that even innocent children who've walked through sickness as a result of historical demons and demonic forces and sinful lives of the parents We decree and declare, Hosha Katabaya, that those children be covered in your blood and the curse be broken. And you save the parents if they are still alive. God, cause repentance to come in their heart. Cause them to serve you, God, not even knowing ignorantly that they're opening doors to their children when they walk outside of the will of God in rebellion. So Father, put the searchlight on our soul. Yeah. And if you find anything that shouldn't be, yeah, Jesus, take it out, take it out, remove it, cleanse it with your blood that we might be healed, God, that we might be delivered. Raise us up. And I declare sickness will have no place in our world. We will not back away. Sickness, infirmity, we will not back down. But we will stand toe to toe with you in the word. The word. Is our remedy. He sent his word and it healed us. And Father, even as we're reading the word today, we release angels at our charge. Because your word says angels hearken to the voice of thy word. And as we read your word, angels are going into every home. We will not depart. We will dominate sickness. And we dominate it now in the name of Jesus, according to the living word. We give you praise, God. Proverbs 4. Verses 21 and 22. Matter of fact, I'm going to start at verse 20. He says, my son, attend to my words, incline your ear to my sayings. Oh my God. Let them not depart from your eyes. Yeah, this is so good. Keep them in the midst of your heart. See, this is how you keep doors closed, right? You be attentive to the words, the voice. Was just teaching about this Sunday, the voice of God, huh? And what he says. And you do not allow what he says to depart from your eyes, what you see. You don't let it come out of your heart at no time. You keep it at the center. It's the core, it's the foundation of how you operate, how you approach issues. We don't back away, we go with what God says. But watch what verse 22 says. For the words are life unto those that find them. Hear, hear this. And health to your soul. Flesh. Not the pills, not the doctors, not the systems we've been led to believe. Habakkuk 3:17. And then we compromise and analyze to believe that it has more power because someone in the white coat said it did. But the word— and listen, in no stretch of the imagination Hear me, if your faith is not where it needs to be, I'm not telling you to walk away from medicine, but what I am telling you is that is not the superior answer. You need to increase your faith and trust the word of God. We're reading it right here. What do we— what system is, is supreme? The kingdom system. The healthcare system of the kingdom is more supreme than the healthcare system of the world. Matter of fact, I'm gonna put it way down here. This kingdom system, the, the healthcare system of the world is way down there because most of the things make you sicker and sicker and have side effects and all kind of other stuff because they ain't figured it out. But God knows your body. He created your body. But you got to believe. But if you believe in the medicine and the doctor and his report or her report more than you believe the report of the Lord, then you're going to always lean to that root system. But Father, in the name of Jesus, we declare this morning we will attend to your sayings. Yeah, we'll attend to your sayings and we'll incline our ear, God, to your word. We'll pay close attention to your way of doing things, your wisdom, your desire for us when it comes to our health and wellness. God, we will not allow hear what you say to us. We will see with our eyes what you are saying. Yeah. And as you have told us in Proverbs 4:21, to not let the word depart from our eyes and don't let it depart from our heart. We'll keep your word at the center. We'll keep our mind on the word. We'll put the word as the chief priority over everything, and we will trust you, God. Because you said here in verse 22 that the word is life to us that find it. Ah, God. Oh my God. Oh my God. So there are mysteries that are hidden that only faith unlocks. And God, we thank you that as we believe, there are new things we will see manifested because we trust and believe at new levels. Thank you that your word will be health to our flesh. We won't have to live in sickness and disease because your word will be health to our flesh. Oh God, and we receive it now in the name of Jesus. Father, I declare over every person on the sound of my voice, God, touch Mother Diane's body even now. To heal. Lebako shi antata. I pray for our family, God. Touch Mother Grace right now in the name of Jesus. Touch her body to heal in Jesus' name. Make her whole. Koraban ki anta. And I declare she will not be bound by doubt and fear. Lebakan dati ans. And negative thought processes. Koraban bandian. Pertaining to her and her situation. We decree and declare she will not be bound by witches and warlocks and generational ancestral curse is, we declare she is whole. Touch in the name of Jesus. Touch Maverick even now. I call his name before you. Heal his body. Cleanse his body of everything that's not like you. Make him totally whole in the name of Jesus. Oh, rabaka. Touch Tiffany Anderson, God. I decree and declare we're believing for a miracle that only you can provide. And I declare in the name of Jesus that you'll straighten in her body, God, that she will not have lameness in her body in any way, that you will restore her body in a miraculous way. We declare it in the name. What the doctor said can't be done, we say you can do it, and we trust you, God. We trust you. We, we, we put the word before our eyes, and we trust what you say. Hallelujah. Touch my wife Felicia's body, God. Continue to give her miracle after miracle and make her totally whole. We receive it in Jesus' name. Touch Nicole's body, God. Make her totally whole.

We declare our building, the building at 410 Santa Fe Trail, the building at Boulder Crest, we declare that these spaces are cancer-free zones. They are infirmity-free zones. And by virtue of the fact that we enter the building, we will be healed. We will be made whole just because the space— we decree and consecrate the space infirmity-free. And anyone that comes through the doors, we declare they will have health to their flesh. In the name of Jesus, we declare they'll have health to their flesh. Yes, Lord, in the name of Jesus, anyone that enters the portals of that church, the gates of that church, they will be healed if they are sick. We, atabasha, we pray for Christopher from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet. Touch his body to make him whole. We decree and declare no weapon formed against his mind, No weapon formed against his body, any system in his body, we declare it is whole in the name of Jesus. I lift up my granddaughter Kenley. God, make her whole. Heal, heal her ears. God, make her whole. Make her whole. Everything that could possibly be going wrong in her body, we declare it will not be so. We release the possibilities. We thank you for wholeness. In Jesus' name. We pray for our children, God, every child and family represented here, even the names I don't know. Touch to heal. Satan, the Lord rebuke you.

I pray for my dad, touch to heal. I pray for every parent represented here Make our families whole, God, in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, I give you the glory. 1 Corinthians 6, Shabbat Nekoshyaya, verses 19 and 20. The Apostle Paul says, what, know ye not that your body— here we go— is the temple of the Holy Ghost? Which is in you, which ye have of God, and you are not your own. Your body, my body, is the temple of the Holy Ghost. He lives in us. The temple that he lives in cannot be shared with infirmity, which is a demonic spirit. It. Oh, here we go, here we go. Let's read verse 20. For you are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God's. So now, now there's a trajectory into habits that open doors for sickness because it's not his will. He wants to live here. So he says glorify God with the— with your body. So I know you think your body is yours. It's not. It's his. So here's what you got to do if you want to keep sickness out. One, you got to keep your body holy. Let's start right there. Let's walk and live in holiness so we can keep doors closed. Two, another way You gotta understand, you got to give your body over to the Lord. You understand your body is not yours when it comes to what you put in it. A lot of the sickness is continually perpetrated because you're constantly consuming food and things that make you unhealthy. Oh yeah, so you gotta check for what you All right, you gotta exercise, you gotta eat right so that you could keep your body in shape. See, a lot of the doors stay open because, you know, most people only work out in January, which is you're not taking care of your body if that's all you're doing. Some people hadn't seen a gym in 2 or 3 years or hadn't even tried to work out at home. The reality is, family, you want to keep yourself healthy. You, again, going back to what we was teaching the leaders last night, you got to be disciplined. You got to execute on purpose. So if you know you got to be alive to fulfill your purpose, see, when you know clear, your purpose is clear, right? You know what you got to do. You got to be alive to do it. So if that means you got to cut the sugar out, you got to cut the sodas out, you got to cut the starches out, you got to stop drinking having bad habits that contribute and keep doors of sickness open. Because God can heal you of high blood pressure, but if you keep eating bacon and ribs and consuming things that keep your blood pressure through the roof, you're not helping yourself. You're acting like you own your body. You need to take care of your body like God owns it, because he does. Oh God, I have been and, and I still am working on me. I, I have to be very deliberate on how I eat and what I do. I really work on it, man, and sometimes I don't make it, but at the end of the day, most of the time I'm trying to do what's right. I'm trying to go to the gym, I'm trying to make sure because I got stuff to do, I got to stay alive. I'm checking for what I'm putting in this temple, man, because I'm not my own. This is his body. I want y'all to look at it like this. Next time you eat 4 hamburgers in a week or you go to a fast food restaurant 5 times in a week, you're not taking care of this temple. Or you just drive past the gym and keep making excuses you don't have time. Yeah, but you got to make time because it's a— it's not your body, okay? It's his. It's his. You were bought with a price, with blood. Are y'all hearing this? Boy, this is tight, but it's true. You got to take care of yourself, man. Listen, and what I was about to say I have suits in my closet, true story, wife can attest to it, that I've had 25 years, I can still wear 'em because I've been consistent on how I deal with my body. Again, I got some more I need to do. I can take it to another level. And as I get older, I am being more deliberate in that. That. This ain't my body. Your body is not your body. You gotta check for what you putting in it. Oh God. And you gotta know, if you want him to live there, you got to be very deliberate, very disciplined in execution. Let's just pray for that. Father, we thank you. As Paul said to Corinthian, what, what are you doing? They were doing all kinds of things, eating things and living in sin, God. But he said, what, what are you doing? Don't you know your body Body is the temple of God, is the temple of the Holy Ghost. So Father, I pray first of all that you make us aware, let there be an awareness for real that our physical bodies, this is our temple. This is where you abide inside of us. We are body, soul, and spirit. And so Father, help us to eat right. To exercise. And Father, help us to weigh what you want us to weigh. Help us, God, to do the things you have called us to do. In the mighty name of Jesus, help us to look good and feel good. Give us the discipline to respect the body you gave us to fulfill purpose. God, I declare that the fast food demon is rebuked now in the name of Jesus. I declare that we will be cognizant of healthy eating. That we will have a drive and discipline to go to the gym. Because you said here in your word, God, again, that we must glorify you in my body and in my spirit. So not just must I go after you in the realm of the spirit, but my body should reflect your glory. Hallelujah. Ha, ah, God, I didn't write it, but God help us. Us to glorify you with our bodies, the bodies you gave us. And God, you know, all of us are given different bodies, but help us to glorify you with that body and make sure that body is healthy by eating the right things, doing things the way we should do them, exercising, taking care of ourselves so that we can keep the portal of sickness and disease closed. Yeah, in the name of Jesus, we rebuke addictions to sugar. God, there are more people addicted to sugar than there are drugs. We rebuke addictions to sugar, sodas and sweet tea and lemonade and, and candy bars. And oh my God, we rebuke addictions to sugar in the name of Jesus. Oh, Shabbat, tokosi an tatavandi kantsia. Rabbi, you say with long life you satisfy us. Let us not defeat that promise by murdering ourselves with food. Oh, ah, Shabbat kandide. I rebuke the spirit of murder. I rebuke the spirit of murder where many are destroying themselves, killing themselves with food. I rebuke it in the name of Jesus. Many are murdering themselves because they refuse to glorify God with their body. Ah, tabasu tu katapa, yesia. In the name of Jesus, we give you glory. We give you glory. Labaka, Moshi Kamandi, Muki Kamandi asatai. Yes, God. Yes, God. Psalm 103, verses 3 through 5. The Bible says, who forgiveth all thine iniquities. Thank you for your mercy, God. Thank you. And iniquity— so iniquity and sin are different. Honestly, sin is missing the mark, coming short of the glory. Iniquity is lawlessness. It's, it's a refusal to create boundaries through following kingdom law. You got lawlessness in your life. You really have no way of living that aligns with God's way of doing things. That's iniquity. That's lawless. You've aligned with another system, and so that's iniquity when you trust in another system system above God's system. Sin is falling short of God's glory through behaviors, whether that's what you call the big sins or missing the mark by not fulfilling your purpose. But iniquity deals with— we're shaped in iniquity, we're born in sin, two things, and shaped in iniquity. Iniquity, lawlessness, right? God says, I forgive you of your lawlessness because many times you don't know better. But when you learn to do better, you got to dismiss the iniquity out of your life. You gotta dismiss it and you gotta trust his system, his way of handling sickness, his way of handling disease, his way of handling financial issues. You got to trust his system instead of the iniquitous systems that you were introduced to sometimes Sometimes in good moral purpose, people gave you insight on things that worked for them but wasn't necessarily the kingdom way, and we bought in because we saw it work for them. But God says, okay, I want you to trust me, and I'm gonna forgive you. I'm forgiving you of your iniquities. All right, watch this. He says, who heals heals your disease. So not only does God forgive sin, iniquity, that part of salvation is that he also heals our diseases. I, I want to eradicate this morning that it's God's will for you to be sick. It is not. I want to extrapolate that from your thinking. It is not God's will for you to be sick. He doesn't need sickness to teach you something. I told y'all a few weeks back, he had He has teachers, he has apostles, he has leaders, he has mentors and coaches and counselors who he's ordained to teach us. Why would he need to give you AIDS or cancer or high blood pressure to teach you something? No, no, that's not God's will. His will is to heal all of your diseases. Let me read verse 4. He redeems your life from destruction. He crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercy. He satisfies your mouth with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle. Wait a minute, so keeping this door closed has something to do with our mouth, what we're saying. So we got to receive the forgiveness of iniquity, let God heal our disease, Jesus. Let him redeem our life from destruction. Let him crown us with loving kindness and tender mercy. And then watch this, let's speak out of our mouth good things that God has done and will do. Let's speak what his word is saying. And the Bible says if you do that, your youth will be renewed like an eagle. So when you're hurting, instead of saying my head hurt, my back hurt, my foot hurt, my toe hurt, my eyes hurt. Start speaking what God says so he can renew that thing. Because at the end of the day, many times again, pain has trained us to respond to it with negative words. So instead of responding to pain with negative words, respond to it with what God says. Let's pray that. Father, we give you praise. We give you glory. We thank you. We thank you for your word, God. We thank you that you forgive our iniquities. We thank you, God, for healing all of our diseases. You said it in your word. We receive it, God. Thank you, God, that you crown us with loving kindness and tender mercy. Thank you, God, that you rescue us and raise us up. Up as your children. Thank you, dear God, that— oh, thank you, Jesus— that you'll delight our mouth. Hallelujah. With delightsome and satisfactory words that align with what you're saying. So God, I rebuke negative talk, and I decree and declare this morning that death and life is in the power of our And I thank you that when we're tempted to speak death, to validate or confirm sickness with our lips, I declare we will speak life. We will speak what you say about the sickness. Some people herald their sickness and talk about it, God, because they need sickness to use for compassion. Oh my God, but we speak health and wellness. We say what you say. You heal our diseases, God. And so we receive, God. We receive, we receive. We're whole. And infirmity, we, we, the blood's on you. You're done. You're done here. You're done here. You're done. In the band, you're done by the blood of Jesus. Us, and we declare it now. Yeah, yeah, in Jesus' name, in Jesus' name. I pray for Apostle Darlene Brentson. She just came up in my spirit. Touch Apostle Brentson's body to heal her in the name of Jesus. We rebuke death and we speak life over the woman of God. We declare with your stripes she is healed. Leba sukuta tababande dekiska tabayansa, in the name of Jesus. And we return every hex, every curse, every attack and diabolical scheme of the enemy back to its center. And we declare that her body is whole in Jesus' name. Kelaba su rebesh gadaya. Manguta tatata bashi. God, I glorify you. Psalm 107, verse 20. Yeah, he sent his word. My God, my favorite scripture. And it healed them. Oh God, and delivered them from their destructions. So Father, we thank you again that every time we hear the word, it's an opportunity for healing. So we receive it. And every time we come into church and hear the word, every time we sit around alive and hear the word, God We thank you that this is our medicine for our body and we are healed. Woo! Shabbat, ketamandi ansa. We thank you and we receive it every single time. Somebody ought to shout, I receive my healing in Jesus' name through the word. Watch this. And angels are hearkening to the voice of thy word to heal us and we receive it, God. That they're healing us now in Jesus' mighty name. Glory to God. Oh, we give God praise. Hallelujah. Romans 8:11. Glory to God. The Bible said, but if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you— here it is again— if he dwells here in this body, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal body. This body, this temple, by the Spirit that dwelleth in you. Oh my God. So he says if he's there, he will quicken your body. So I declare that the Spirit of God that's in you will quicken your mortal body. That's why you got to be filled with Holy Ghost. You got to let him live in this him. You got to keep— oh man, your life consecrated in him so that when you need to call on him to quicken your mortal body, even if there's organs dying inside of your body— quicken means he'll bring it back to life. Are y'all hearing this? So the Spirit of God can bring life to a body that's deteriorating. I said it earlier, Hallelujah. Glory to God. And this is the scripture that confirms it. We rebuke the deterioration of the body and we declare our body is not deteriorating in the name of Jesus. We rebuke deterioration now. And because the Holy Ghost is in us, is not— he's not there just for us to speak in tongues and prophesy. Glory to God. The Holy Ghost is there to give us life. Why is this? So we can fulfill purpose, so we could take dominion. And Father, I call on that life-giving spirit, and I pray even this Friday night in our services, God, as your people invite people out on Friday night, those who are sick in their bodies, those who are sick in sin, those who are sick in their mentality, in their mind, we thank you that there will be such a glory at anointing and a weight of your splendor in the building, that you will quicken the mortal bodies of every person in the room. Ah, Shabbat! As we enter in to commemorate your death, where you were wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the chastisement of our peace was upon you, and with your stripes we, we are healed. God, we thank you that as we enter that building on Friday night to commemorate that day Well, you bled for us that we can be healed. Thank you that tangible manifestations of healing would occur. I'm encouraging you right now, wherever you're watching, I, I hear this in the Holy Ghost. If you know people with cancer, high blood pressure, diabetes, neurological issues, uh, COVID, AIDS, whatever the disease, get them to the church on Friday night. Whatever you got to do, make them aware that coming to the meeting Friday night is better than visiting their doctor because Jesus will be in the building to heal. I'm telling you, there is going to be a massive release of healing and deliverance Demons will be cast out. Deliverance will happen. Hear me, you have to come expecting to receive. And I need you to get people in the building. If you got to go by an oncology office, go by the hospital, pass out some of those flyers. Let people know, listen, you need to be in this church on Friday night to get what God has for you. I'm telling you right now, I'm— while I'm talking, many of you are being healed. There's stuff that's happening in your body while I'm speaking right now. The angel of the Lord is ministering to your body. Matter of fact, there's some of you— because you— but you got to open your mind to receive. You got to lift your faith. But there's some of you glory to God who have gotten diagnosis from doctors, but God said this thing is overturning. We just preached this Sunday morning, my God, overturning. He's— oh my God, he's distorting and ruining sickness and distorting and ruining the report. The next time you see the doctor, he's going to be confused about how you have changed changed and how you've been made whole. God, I thank you. God, I thank you. Quicken our mortal bodies in the mighty name of Jesus. I got to go, y'all. Glory to God. I feel Jesus though. John 1:14. I'm almost done. And the Word was made flesh— word again— dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, the glory as the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. So the fact that Jesus came off the throne, the Word became flesh, dwelt among us— this text is about grace and truth. It's about showing us that the grace of God which is his charis in Greek, his free gift to us, not just to get saved but to experience everything that is inside of salvation. Glory to God. Which includes healing, which includes deliverance and truth, right? His systems, his ways of operating. He lived in the flesh to show us that if we we operate under grace and truth, we can conquer sickness, we can conquer poverty. Check it out. Jesus, he didn't have a business, he didn't have a job. His job was working for the Father. He went into the vineyard and working was right. The Father paid, but he had conquered sin. Man, okay? This is why he could do this. He had conquered the earthly systems as, as in his flesh. He lived as a man, but he showed us how to operate in kingdom things so that we'll never lack anything we need, including healing and deliverance. Jesus chose to die when he died. He didn't die because he sick. He didn't die because he wasn't taking care of himself. He died because he had to take on our sickness and disease. So all of the sickness of the world, man, all of the sin of the world came upon him when he was on that cross— past, present, and future— so that those that will come to him will have pentance through his blood. What a powerful God we serve. In other religions, you see men dying for their God. In this faith, our God dies for us. That's the Word dwelling among us. Can I tell you something? Through the Holy Ghost, he still dwells with us. My God. He said, I'm going to another place. He said, and where I am, you shall be also. He said, where I'm going— he said, where I am. I'm gonna say again, he didn't say where I'm going, he said, where I am, you shall be also. To comfort them in knowing I really ain't going nowhere because I'm gonna send you another comforter. He's me, uh, Apo Parakletos, that's gonna move in. He's me, but he's just gonna move inside of you, and where I am, you're going to be also. So don't worry that you see me about to get out of here and ascend, but my Spirit is coming, and he's going to move inside of you, and where I am, you shall be also. Lord, have mercy. Oh, thank you for grace and truth, God. Let grace and truth be our portion. Let it rest on us, God. And let us conquer the flesh. Let us conquer the systems of the world, and let us live according to your grace and your truth. Thank you for living in us, God. Thank you for dwelling in us. Thank you for your word that became flesh. And God, let us be living epistles written in red ink, man, that we are also word that becomes flesh, that people can see the living word coming through our lives in the mighty name of Jesus. Oh God, thank you God. Hallelujah. Woo! 3 John 2: Beloved, I wish above all things that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul soul prospers. Yeah, so above all things, uh, this— he said, this is my greatest desire for you, is that you prosper and be in health. Two things. So I want you to have prosperity, and I want you to be healthy. I want you to enjoy life. I want you to live and fulfill your purpose. He said, you do this as your soul prospers. So let's stop complaining about soul prosperity, man. The opportunity to get the word, the opportunity to hear the word, the opportunity to be in place where you can be taught the word. You know, that's how your mind, will, emotions prosper— through the word. It always goes— it all goes back to the word. The word prospers your soul. It expands the capacity of your mind and your will and your emotions. It gives you the power to deal on earth. And so every chance you get to prosper your soul, take it, because guess what happening? Even as your soul prospers. See, the reason we don't see many prospering financially and in good health, because they will not yield their soul your soul to expansion. And you do that by sitting under the teaching of the word of God. You gotta yield your soul to expansion. So Father, we thank you, we thank you. That is your greatest desire for us to prosper and be in health. So we receive that, God. And we also receive the charge to expand, to grow, to increase our soul. Our soul, this our center, our, the center of our intellect, our passions, our senses are in our soul, our mind, our will, our emotions. God, prosper that through your word. And as we receive the word, as we spend time with you, as we worship, prosper our soul so that every door of sickness and disease can be closed. And we declare it, God, in Jesus' mighty name. My God, my God, my God, I love him, I love him, I love him. Isaiah 53, verses 4 and 5. I've been quoting it all night, but then we're gonna read it last. Surely not all night, all day, all morning. Praise God. Surely I, I guess since I've been up since 3, but regardless Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows, yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. And the prophet is saying, and he's looking down through history, speaking in the past tense, man, so powerful. I said, we looked at him and said, you know, God has afflicted him, why is he going through that. But Jesus willingly laid down his life. He could have gave it up and, and went back to heaven, but he laid down— God gave him as a gift, but he still had to make the choice to die for us. He wasn't afflicted of God, he wasn't smitten of God. He bore our griefs, man. He carried our sorrow. My God, on that cross he was wounded for our transgressions. Took those stripes in his back. That one theologian says that there was a stripe on his back for every strand of sickness that exists in the world today. One stripe for each strand. Ha! Shabba kandiansa. Yeka imandi. He will bruise for iniquity. Iniquity. The chastisement of our peace was upon him so that we could have peace in our body. It was on him, and with his stripes we are healed. And we declare that once again: sickness is over. We are healed through the stripes of Jesus. We declare it, we receive it in Jesus' name. If you believe it this morning, say it is so. Shout it is so! Glory to God! Receive your healing in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah! Glory to God! We thank you, we honor you, we bless your name. God, come on, we give you the glory, we worship your great We bless you, ha, and we honor you, God. So you're so good, you're so kind, God. You're so wonderful and mighty. Be made whole, be made whole in Jesus' name. Listen, I love you guys so much, man. Thank you for joining us this morning. Listen, I want to reiterate, Friday night, Good Friday, it is going to be a phenomenal move of of God. Let's pack our church out.
