5 AM Prayer with Dr. Mike Woods | 7 Days of Fasting + Prayer 26 | 3 February 2026

All right, praise God everyone, and a pleasant good morning to you. I pray everyone is well. Uh, this is the day the Lord has made and we rejoice and we are glad in it. Welcome to 5 AM prayer. I pray you had a great day yesterday. I know I enjoyed my time of fasting on yesterday. Just always a privilege and an honor to spend time with the Lord and to make sacrifices for him, man. It's a, it's a powerful piece to be able to do that, and I'm certainly grateful. So glad to see you here bright and early this morning. Good morning to everyone that's coming in. Uh, please guys, do me a kind favor, uh, like, share, and comment. Glory to the name of God. Uh, as it is so important to be a blessing, the Bible says we are blessed, all right, to be a blessing. So let's make sure, family, uh, that we are being a blessing to others. Um, And it's gonna be good this morning. It'll be worth your time to hit that share button. Light of God. Uh, so we're going to this morning— glory to God— we're still praying along the lines of dominion, and we want to just really pray away a lot of the things that could hinder dominion. Yesterday we talked about Renewing the Mind, and we prayed over the mind. Uh, your mind definitely has to be renewed, uh, to achieve dominion, to see it manifested in your life. You, you need a renewed mind. So we prayed the word, and I believe that even as we were praying yesterday, God was renewing our minds even to new levels and new dimensions. Glory to the name of God. So we can actually get a grip and adhere to dominion. Well, one of the things that also hinders— glory to God— dominion is doubt, fear, and worry. Um, I want to really concentrate this morning on worry. You know, if we spend our life worried about things or circumstances, things that distract us, uh, we tend to uh, replay those things and they become a priority. They become superior, uh, over what's actually purpose, over what's actually the will of God, right? And so we don't want that. We, we want to make sure that we can stay focused. Uh, the only desire the devil has in a battle with you is to break your focus. He wants you to get off focus on what God is saying and what God has planned. And again, at the substratum of every purpose that you and I carry, uh, is to move us into a fear of dominion. But if we're worried about family, we're worried about money, we're worried about the things that burn us down, and, and not really, uh, strategically and very deliberately lending these things to the Lord, giving them to him, we'll never really move into dominion as we should. So We're gonna— again, we're praying the word, guys. Glory to God. And we're gonna walk through the word this morning. And, um, glory to God, we believe the Holy Spirit is going to meet us here. Praise the name of Jesus. So our first scripture for this morning is Colossians, uh, 1:13. The Bible says, who has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. So first of all, when, when you really open your life, like as we prayed yesterday, and acknowledge him, become acquiesce to him, open yourself up and allow him total control, there's a few things that happen. One, one, the first thing that happened, you begin to really realize, I mean for real, that darkness has no power over you anymore. Now I want you to hear me, family. This is not just you stop sinning. It's— that's a great thing, right? It's a great thing for you to stop sinning and for you to align yourself morally, but it's deeper than that because the systems of darkness are deeper than physical behavior. And that again, don't— hear me good, I'm not saying you should not stop sinning physically, right? What I am saying is there's a deeper level. And, and of course, this next level of deliverance from darkness, a lot of people, uh, will remain bound in it. Oh God, have mercy, because they still struggling with the external stuff. So it's another level of maturity. Now, if you could be faithful over your body, okay, over your thoughts, glory to God, woo, he can make you ruler over other dimensions of darkness. So when I get saved, there's an act of deliverance that happens in my spirit. Now, because we've been taught legalism to just subdue the body, you know, we'll stop sinning, you know, we'll stop fornicating, stop lying, stop committing adultery, whatever your thing was, you'll stop doing that. Which again, it's not bad, but the reality is we never really get taught the dimensions of darkness that we need to depart from or dominate. Okay, are y'all with me, right? So there are systems of poverty, of health, of mindset— oh my God— of learning. Glory to God. That operate in a dark realm that the enemy will try to keep you in those systems, and he'll be okay with you living right and not understanding how to be an individual leader, how to lead yourself. Are y'all hearing this? Oh God, how to defeat poverty, how to, uh, defeat sickness and disease, how to be effective as an influencer in your family. He will allow you to, to keep practicing righteous behavior as long as he knows you're in the dark about how you're gonna operate in dominion. Because he knows if you're in the dark about these things, guess what's going to happen? The moment you have financial crisis or a family crisis, the moment, praise God, you, you have a Christ is in your body. Christ is in your faith. He knows because you have not received the deliverance that has come to you from his dark systems, you're gonna begin to worry because worry is darkness. But the Bible says that you should be delivered from darkness and— watch this— translated into the kingdom of his dear son. So to be translated somewhere is literally to be transported or to be, oh boy, if you translate English to Chinese or translate Chinese to English or Greek to English, or oh my God, English to Greek, guess what happens? While the word, hallelujah, may sound the same in the different language, it often takes on a different meaning and literally becomes something else. We, we kind of talked about that with transformation yesterday. So there's gotta be a translation out of these systems where you no longer trust the systems of the world for provision. You don't trust the system of the world for healing. Do you realize in the kingdom you have a healthcare system? In the kingdom you have a financial system, a banking economic system. You do, but you got to trust these systems and you'll never have dominion and be free from these systems worrying because it takes faith to trust an invisible kingdom that's unshakable. You got familiar systems, which is family systems in, oh my God, the kingdom of God. And you must trust. Oh my God, Jesus. I hope y'all getting this this morning. The systems. So you got to be translated. I spent too much time on that, but I needed, I needed to lay a foundation for what we're praying. So let's pray this. So Father, in the name of Jesus, I denounce and renounce the kingdom of darkness in our lives this morning. Every trace of the kingdom of darkness, dear God, we are— oh, shabbat lekoshian. We renounce it now in the name of Jesus. We command it renounced in Jesus' mighty name. We declare it is renounced. We command the stronghold of darkness. Oh my God. The stronghold of dark systems, dark ways of living, dark ways. Of doing and being in life. We denounce and renounce them now. Now in the name of Jesus. And Father, we thank you that we are delivered from dark systems, dark thinking, dark ways of doing things, but we are translated into the light of the kingdom of Jesus Christ. And Lord Jesus, we thank you that you are our King now. Oh, and we walk in the light as you are in the light. You are the light of the world, so there should be nothing, uh, God, in darkness, whether it be our behavior or our way of thinking. Oh God, or the systems we abide by. Nothing dark should be about our life. And I release the spirit of kingdom leadership that will smash worry. We smash worry, we smash worry, we smash worry right now in the name of Jesus. And Father, we thank you that we have victory over darkness in Jesus' might. Eh, kushi, libakanda tobo shantai, edemeskitatai. In the mighty name of Jesus, we declare it to be so. In Jesus' name. Amen. Oh my God, I feel Jesus this morning, family. Lebashanda debo koteyanda. So just touch yourself as far as they say, Father, I thank you that I have been delivered from the power of darkness. Come on, say it again. Say, Father, I thank you that I have been delivered from the power of darkness. Glory to God. Yeah, you've been delivered from the power of darkness and translated. So deliver out of darkness, then translate it. Watch this. Oh, and this is why many times we cannot adhere to kingdom, the king's domain, or the king's dominion fully, because we got traces of darkness still operating in our life. And I rebuke every level of worry, fear, darkness in the mighty name of Jesus, so that we can fully experience the kingdom on all levels. You just gotta make a decision to release it. And that's really what this fast is about this week, guys, is, is getting out of us every dark place, every hidden system, hidden lifestyle, hidden way of doing things, the things that you are operating in that nobody may ever talk to you about. And listen, there are even things, especially with those of you that are connected to me, I know there are different ones on this live and fasting with us, but even those you connected to me, there are things I see, I don't always say, but I pray. Some things I see and I don't always say, but I pray because it's not the timing to say. All things are lawful, but not expedient. There was one individual in the ministry, I will not, I'm not gonna call their name just to protect privacy, but I saw something that was going on with them. And I had saw it for a while and had been praying. And then bam, I got the release. The Lord said, call them and speak to them about this issue. So I picked up the phone, called, and began to prophesy and pray over them and with them and pray for their deliverance in this area. And bam, God brought deliverance on the phone. The reality is it's up to that individual to maintain that deliverance by continuing to walk as a person in light and not revisit those dark traits. Are y'all hearing this? Uh, there's no need— glory to the name of God— of you trying to figure out who that is. That's the wrong thing that you need to be doing, really. You need to be taking an introspective, because probably if I've seen something with you that I haven't said but I'm praying about, right? So the reality is, I want you to— oh my God— to understand, yes, yes, glory to the name of God, that God wants to move all traces of darkness out of your life so you can fully adhere to and be involved in, engaged in, and manifesting in your life kingdom dominion. Are y'all with me? Glory to— are y'all tracking with me this morning? Glory to the name of God. Wow. Hebrews 12, uh, verses 1 and 2. The Bible says this, it says, wherefore, seeing we are also compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside— here we go— every weight and the sin which so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us. Now, a few things very powerful in these two verses. Uh, one, glory to the name of God, the Bible tells us that we should lay aside every weight and sin. So it kind of goes back into Colossians 1:13, right? So Those are two different things. So a lot of times we will lay aside certain sins, right? Because sin is harmēsia in Greek, and it means to miss the mark. Okay, so you may not be fornicating, lying, stealing, cheating, committing adultery, all that stuff, but it's also sin not to fulfill your purpose because you're coming short. Okay, let me take you deeper. It's also sin to worry because you should have faith in God according to Mark 11:22. Yeah, you're coming short when you— some say, "Oh, I'm just human, everybody worries." No, everybody doesn't, all right? Glory to God, 'cause when you got faith, you don't have to worry, right? You could be tempted to worry, but you have to always promote your faith over what you're worrying about. Okay, all right, y'all stay with me. Y'all keep messing with me. I'm trying to find you now. Glory to God. Stay with me. Wake up. Glory to God. Because I'm gonna keep coming. Glory to God. To you, you wake up and engage this, okay? Because I'm, I'm in the spirit right now with all y'all. So, but the reality is you got to lay aside not just sin where you coming short, the areas where you coming short, but you got to also lay aside weight, distractions. Glory to God. Distracts, you gotta lay aside distractions. You know, when you get distracted and now you are creating delays and you're going on these detours and you ultimately are gonna destroy the dominion purpose because you've been delayed so long, you've been taking so many shortcuts. But I'm telling you, there's opportunity to be redeemed. And often when you're carrying weight, you're carrying your children's weight, you're carrying your spouse's weight. You listen, at the end of the day, the reality is the Bible said lay aside all the weight. Cast your cares upon him, for he cares for you. So 1 Peter 5:6. So why are you— cast your cares. Uh, that word cast your cares, it's a powerful word in the Greek. It means to remove it from yourself and literally sling it at God so that it never returns to you. You know, once you release something to God, you should never take it back. Because if you find yourself with it again, you never really cast the care on him. You still got it. You never let it go. Because once you give it to him, he's not going to not deal with it, right? He's going to take it and deal with the care. He's going to deal with it. But once you start back worrying about it, you, you, you realize you never really let that go. Oh God. Okay. All right. I'm trying to find y'all, right? I'm trying to find you this morning for real. Shabbat. Sukkot tatamansiya. Yes, Lord. I praise you. Glory to God. And I love you so much. I'm never gonna hold back what the Holy Spirit give me 'cause I don't wanna carry the weight that I didn't release it to you. But I'm trying to help you become a person of dominion so you can actually tap into dominion purpose and experience the kingdom fully. So he says, lay aside the weight and the sin that so easily besets us. It breaks your focus. And then he says, let us run the race with patience that's set before us. See, when you get in a hurry, hurry often gives birth to worry. Ah, I'll say it again, hurry often gives birth to worry. If you are anxious for something to come faster than the timing of the Lord, often you're going to start worrying. So you got— you can't make haste to do things in a hurry, because anytime you do that, you're going to make mistakes. So let's pray this. Father, we thank you for the scripture in Corinthians 12, verses 1 and 2. And so, Father, first of all, I thank you that we will deliberately lay aside the weight and the sin. And Father, I find it interesting that you said to us to lay it aside, not that you were going to take it, but you told us to lay it aside. Because, Father, thank you for being a gentleman. Thank you that you don't intrude into our lives, but you, you desire us to choose you, to choose your way, to choose what you've planned. And so, Father, in the name of Jesus, even as I'm touching and agreeing, uh, with my family this morning, I decree and declare that we are laying aside everything, dear God, every single thing. We're laying it aside, my God, that doesn't represent you, uh, the physical behaviors, the physical thoughts, but we're also laying aside every weight. Glory to the name of God, every sin of not fulfilling purpose, not having clarity of who we are. We're laying aside these things, God, because they beset us, they break our focus, they slow us down. But we decree and declare, God, we will run with patience the race that is set before us. And we thank you for that now in the mighty name of Jesus. Somebody ought to praise God. Oh, uh, yeah. You ever said this? I know I have. You ever thought about your physical body and said, I gotta lose some of this weight. I've said it, glory to God. I need you to adopt that in the spirit. I gotta lose some of this weight, glory to God. See you, and I don't know who this is for, but you've been carrying people, things, stuff that you don't need to carry. Lay that weight aside, cast that care on God, and make the declaration, I gotta lose some of this weight. Glory to the name of God. Oh, you ought to praise God right there, for real. Romans 8, 2. Let's move. Glory to God. Romans 8:2. Praise God. Romans 8:2. You'll find these words. The Bible said, for the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made us free from the law of sin and death. So here we go. It takes us deeper, right? So if I'm coming under the laws of the king, the very fact of my positioning under that law, receiving that law as my own receiving his systems, his ways of living. The Bible says here that this law in and of itself makes me free from the law of sin and death. So I'm no longer bound by the laws of missing the mark or living in sin. Again, hermeneutics, coming short of God's glory, coming short of God's purpose and God's plan, whether that's behavior, whether that's volitionally, whether that's, uh, aside of my destiny walk. Yeah, I'm, I'm laying that aside, and now I'm not subject to what I thought I should have been subject to because I got a new set of laws. Because you cannot have dominion operating under the law of sin and death, because dominion is a spiritual thing and it's only achieved through submission to the Spirit. So you gotta submit to the Spirit of God. You gotta submit to God's ways of doing things. Oh my God. Lord, I love you. Lord, I love you. Stay with me, guys. The reality is God wants you free. He wants you to have liberty. We've talked about this, 2026, the year of freedom. But if you're operating under the auspices of the law of sin and death, and you yet saved. All right, see, you're not gonna have true freedom in all areas of your life so you can operate in dominion. And again, sin is not just because you stop having sex or you stop cussing or you stop drinking. I want us to get that this morning. It, it is a sin for you to be worried about everything. Yeah, it's a sin, man. You're coming short because it's not God's plan for you as his child. And if you're saved, you should not be walking around here pulling your hair out about things. Glory to God. Because when you are clear about who you are, it defeats depression and worry, because you understand there's a different set of laws governing your life, and the King— watch this— has responsibility for you. So really, when you really get that, ain't nothing to worry about. You know, I often think of this If we growing up, my mom was super wealthy, I never would have had to worry about anything as a child, right? But watch this, let me flip that. She was not super wealthy. And so I often think she gave me everything I needed. She made sure I was taken care of. And as a child, I didn't have a care in the world. But as an adult, you'd be thinking, okay, well, but the reality is I ate every day. I had clothes on my back and many times I ate the best of food and I had the best of clothing on my back. She took care of me. I was her only child. She made sure I was good at all times, right? What more would Jesus, our King, do for us, his family? I, I need you to hear that. He's never gonna let your parent outdo you. And I just— I had the privilege of having a parent that was engaged, and I had a dad that was engaged. Not everybody else is that fortunate. And, and, and, you know, I get it. But when you come to Jesus, man, you got a Father that really will take good care of you because he's a good, good Father. Glory to God. So let's pray. So Father, we thank you that we, we are committed now to live free from worry because worry is under the law of sin and death and it impedes dominion, it impedes purpose. But Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you, we are committed to live free from the law of sin and death and we will live under the law of our King, you, Lord Jesus. We thank you for the laws of scripture, the laws of the word of God, and we decree and declare that we can live under these laws, and that our life will never be the same, God, because we trust what you say. Oh God, deba sukushka tabaya, ekandidi ni andolo boshia. And Father, we bind the spirit of worry and fear and doubt that some people carry, that they don't even feel normal until they're worrying. Well, Father, we rebuke the spirit of worry now in the name of Jesus. We renounce you. And we cast you out of the minds of the people. We cast you out of the very spirits of the people of God. The, uh, ish ketebansa, lift your hand off now in the name of Jesus, because through Jesus Christ, we are free from the laws of, woo-wee, sin and death. So we don't worry anymore. We declare we have liberty in Christ Jesus, in Jesus' mighty name. God, we give you praise. Glory to God. Track with me this morning, people. Stay with me. Uh, 2 Timothy. Lord, I feel the Lord here. Uh, chapter 1, verse 12. The Bible says, for, for the which cause I— hear this— also suffer these things. Nevertheless, I am not ashamed. Or in Greek, watch this, I don't worry. For I know whom I have believed, and I'm persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against this day. So Paul says, look, I'm going through the same things you've gone through, or I have gone through them. I say to you myself, I've gone through, or I have dealt with the same things many of you listening to me this morning have gone I'm not ashamed, I'm not worried, because I know God is able to provide. I know God is able to remove the burden and destroy the yoke. I know God is able to keep me from falling. I know God can't lie. So no matter what life brings, you got to be persuaded. Glory to God. That he's able to keep that which you have committed unto him. Y'all believe that, man? I need you to— if you don't, I need you to accept that. See, part of not worrying— and I'm gonna pray— is accepting God's ability to do what he said he's gonna do. You got to accept the fact that he's able to keep what you cast on him, what you give to him, what you lay aside. He's able to keep it and keep it out of your life and destroy it. But you gotta really give it to him because he's not gonna take it. Okay, you got that? Because here Paul again says, I've committed it to him. He's not gonna take it. Lord, see, a lot of time we want God to take something from us. When you gotta give it to him and stop making excuses because you still want it. There's a season in my life, man, glory to God, I was engulfed in sin. And at the end of the day, I didn't stop, but I was praying like, God, take this desire. And Holy Spirit arrested me one day. He said, I'm not taking anything. If you want to be free, give it to me. And if you give it to me, I'll keep it, and I won't allow it to come back in your life again. You got to let it go. Oh boy. And if you let it go, God, God will take it and he'll keep you free. Let's pray that. Father, we give you praise in the name of Jesus. And Father, of all the sufferings, of all the things, the pathema in Greek, the things that we go through, the things that we're challenged with in life, Father, we're not ashamed. We don't worry because we know that if we commit these things to you according to this text in 1 Timothy 1:12, God, we decree and declare you will take care of it. We are persuaded, we are convinced that God, you will take care of this thing. And God, we don't have to contend with it. We can serve you freely and operate in dominion, and we don't have to worry about it. So Father, I pray for the boldness this morning. I pray for the boldness of this people and myself to continually give the things to you that need to be out of our life. And I release the expectancy for you just to remove it. We give it to you, God. We present our bodies a living sacrifice. We give it to you, God. We choose to do this and we don't worry because we give you the things that we know you're not pleased with so you can destroy them. We give them to him, we, we remove them from our existence, our life, we extrapolate them from us and we sling them at you. And we're— we know you're committed, hallelujah, to deal with what we have committed to you. And we praise you for that now in Jesus' name. Hallelujah! Come on, just worship God, just worship God. Hallelujah! Just get— hey, glory! Just give him worship, just give him glory, just give him praise. La kasha babanko rabanki satatabai. Just give him— amandu satatabaya. Just give him the honor. We kaboshia, we exalt him, we glorify him. Yeah, we bless him. Uh, 1 Peter 5, uh, verses 6 and 7. I love Jesus, y'all. Yeah, the Bible says, humble yourself therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon him, for he cares, ooh-wee, for you. Say this with me, say, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God. Come on, say it again, say, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God. Hoo-wee! That in due time. Come on, say it. Say, in due time, you may exalt me. Glory to God. Say it again. Say, in due time, you may exalt me. So you know what that says? You know what it's saying? If I humble myself under his hand. Again, notice this is not something he's doing. He's asking you to humble yourself. And when you make the deliberate decision to humble yourself under his mighty hand of authority, where you begin to make the choice to do whatever— who we— he tells you to do, right? He says in due time he'll exalt you. You know what I see when I read that? If I stay under the mighty hand of God, in due season, he'll give me dominion. He'll give me authority. He'll put me in my proper place of leadership in the world, in ministry, in the marketplace, in the mill. But I gotta not get from under his hand. I have to do what he asks, right? Phew. Then he said, and I've been quoting this the whole time we've been praying, cast your care, sling this, put it in a sling and sling it at God, and to ensure it's never with you again. And how, why do you do it? Because you have a revelation that he cares for you. Say this with me, say, in the name of Jesus, I cast my cares. Now I want you to take a moment right there and begin. Come on, do it. Take a moment right there and begin to verbalize your cares. Glory to God. Don't act like you don't have none. Oh, rabba shango. Verbalize your financial cares. Verbalize your profession cares, your job cares. Verbalize your sickness cares. Verbalize the cares you're carrying right now. And say to God, I cast my cares and begin to say, name them. Say, I cast this on you, this. Tell him what you're giving to him. Say it out loud now in the name of Jesus. Come on, come on, wake up, wake up, open your eyes, wake up. Glory to God. Get these cares off of you this morning and give them to God. Oh, shabba batikoshyaya. Give those children to God. Give that family to God. The thing that you have care that you're having, you have anxiety, that you're worrying about. You know, there are people out here now that say anxiety is a normal thing. You know, it doesn't have to be, man. It's normal when you don't cast your cares on God. Glory to the name of God. Some people tell you, you know, you got to be in a therapist every week to cast your cares on them. You know, if that's how you choose to handle it, but I'm trying to give you some practical remedy. Listen, glory to God, I've been walking with God again, since a teenage boy. Glory to God. And I've been through a whole lot of stuff that people would have probably said, man, you need to be on the couch, you need to talk to a therapist. But the reality is, family, hear me, hear me, hear me, I needed one because my daddy taught me early how to pray. He taught me how to cast cares on the Lord. And when you learn how to do that, man, he will cleanse you. And again, I'm not against therapy, I'm not against therapists, I'm not against mental health issues. I I think they are real, but I do think if we grow in the spirit, we can learn how to defeat them properly and cast anxiety on him, man. And I know the mental health people are going to probably disagree with me, but I'm the word of God says, because there's a level of power and relationship with God where you can cast things on him. And watch this, the Bible said he's a wonderful counselor. We talked about that Sunday, which means, and that's really a legal word. He protects me, but he also counsels me concerning my cares. The Bible says he's another comforter, the Holy Spirit, Apo Parakletos. He lives in me to comfort me, to counsel me. He's— oh my God, are y'all here? Okay, yeah, yeah, all right, all right, all right, all right. Because yeah, I think many times we like to make excuses, excuses for the crutches we create. Yeah. And we don't necessarily want to do the work to have a relationship with God. Now here's the interesting thing. People will sit on the couch and do the work with a counselor, but they won't get on their knees. Okay. And do the work with God. Okay, and if you do that, and I'm talking to believers now, man, because he's your daddy, you, you could talk to him. He's real, right? And then, and then maybe he'll use a counselor to undergird what he's given you in relationship with him, but you should never substitute that for real relationship with God. Oh my God, I'm trying to save y'all some money, man. Yeah, so, so say it again. Say, in the name of Jesus, I humble myself under the mighty hand of God, and I cast all my cares upon him, for he cares for me. My God, my God, somebody's getting free right now. Thank you, Jesus. I feel it in my spirit. Something's happening in your life right now. Glory to God. Hallelujah. There's somebody under the sound of my voice. I just heard the Holy Ghost say, as you're receiving this, you'll never worry again. As you receive this, you'll never worry again. As you have cast your cares upon the Lord, you will never worry again. Never again. Will you worry, but you will become adamant in practicing the casting of your cares to your Father. He's your Daddy and he loves you. And I'll say again, he's a good, good Father. Oh my God, I gotta go, I gotta go. Glory to God. Philippians 4:8. Oh my, sikura badia. Oh God, the Bible says, finally, brethren, whats— whatever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of a good report, if there be any virtue, if there be any praise, think on these things. I love this, man. Wait a minute. So Father, you're telling me, glory to God, that instead of me dwelling on the thing my mind is telling me to worry about. Because guess what? Worry is not going to accomplish anything. It's not going to accomplish anything. When you get through worrying, what you're worrying about is still going to be there, right? So you might as well choose to believe God. So he tells you, think on those things which are pure, which are lovely, which are just. What does the word say about this situation? Open your Bible and find a promise that covers the need or covers the anxiety that you're having. 'Cause I promise you in the book, there's a promise inside of here that covers your need. But guess what? You gotta find a promise that covers your need and pray, ask God to do that promise. And after you ask him to do the promise, rejoice before the results. Gloria a Dios. Glory to God. You, you do that, man, and I promise you what you talk to God about will remove the worry because you're thinking on the things that are just, that are lovely. So Father, I pray for our mindset this morning. I pray that when we are tempted to worry, that we will think on what's just, what's pure, what's lovely, what's of a good report. We'll think on what your word says. We'll think on the loving relationship that we have with you. We'll think on the fact that you really care for us, and we will rejoice, God, because we know you cannot lie. If you said it, it shall be so. And once we give it to you, we'll trust that you have it, and we'll walk it out and think of a good report. We'll begin to praise you in advance for what you're gonna do because your credit is good with us. And so, Father, whatever we've been worrying about, we give it to you this morning. We've released our cares, and we just begin to rejoice now. Before the results. We thank you that all things work together for good. And I know in a lot of situations that's hard to them that love God and to them who are the called according to his purpose. But we thank you, God, that you're working some things together in the realm of the spirit now, and that out of this pain, out of the things we're dealing with, God, we're going to give birth to a good report. So we think on that good report and we expect it in the name of Jesus. And oh God, hallelujah! Just give him praise, please. Just praise him, praise and worship him. Psalm 55, almost done this morning, at 22. Hallelujah! Cast thy burden upon the Lord— here we go— and he will sustain you. But notice what it says. See, sometimes we just read over scriptures and don't really see what they're saying. He said, "Cast." There's the word cast again, this time in the Old Testament, different transliteration. In the Greek, it means to throw it at God or to throw it off of you and to separate yourself from it permanently. Here in the Hebrew, it literally means to destroy the burden with God, which means take it off of you, give it to God, and watch him basically destroy it. It. Rejoice that he is destroying it. And then it says, if you do that— take it off you, put it on him— he's going to destroy you. Watch that, right? He said if you do that, oh boy, you'll never suffer and you'll never be moved. He said he won't suffer you to be moved. He— in other words, you'll never be moved out of your faith, out of your place, out of your place of dominion. So watch this— he's not saying that things that can weigh down and burning you down won't show up. Things that can cause worry won't show up. Watch this, he's saying when it does show up, remove it from you, give it to him. I hope y'all getting this because it's coming back over and over again. Uh, glory to the name of God. Give it to him and you'll never be moved out of your place. You will keep growing, you'll keep progressing, you keep getting stronger. In your dominion purpose. Are y'all with me this morning? I love y'all too. Glory to the name. I love y'all a whole lot. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Uh, and let's pray this. So, Father, we thank you that as we remove the burden from us, give it to you, we cast our burdens upon you, and the things that could cause us to worry, the things that could weigh us down, we give it to you, and we behold the destruction of it. And when we watch something destroyed It paints a picture in our mind, Father, that is gone. It cannot return. So Father, we give it to you and we adopt the mindset that that thing is destroyed. Lack is destroyed. Sickness and disease is destroyed. Poverty is destroyed. Glory to the name. Doubt and fear and worry is destroyed. We give it to you, God, and we thank you. When we do this, we'll never be moved. Say that with me. Say, in the name of Jesus, I cast my burdens upon the Lord, and I will never be moved from my dominion's place. Yeah, believe that. You'll never be moved from your dominion place. You got to give him the burdens though, right? Let's keep reading, uh, John 14:1. Trying to get through. Glory to God. The Bible said, let not your heart be troubled. Stop worrying. This is Jesus talking. Just, just stop worrying. That's what he said. Uh, believe in God. That's the remedy for not your heart not being troubled. Believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. Glory to God. And if I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself. And where I am, there you may be also. A few things in this verse. First of Stop worrying. Don't let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe in Jesus Christ. Believe in the Holy Spirit that lives in you, which is God. Just believe in God. Trust his word, right? He said, but then the next thing I want you to realize, he says, in my Father's house are many mansions. This is powerful. Man, eons. In my Father's house, man-ions, eons, mansions. This is not— let me submit to you, this is not a big house. This ain't God telling you when you get to heaven you're gonna have a mansion. This is not what this is saying, right? Man-ions are ages or destinies or times and seasons. So my Father's There are many destinies. There are many places of rule, dominion, and domain. Oh, glory to God. He says that— watch this— can I submit to you, you are the house of God that he's referring to, because in you dwells him, in you dwells the Holy Spirit. You're his house. So his destiny, his dominion purpose is inside of you and I. And there are many diversities of this dominion purpose. Then guess what he said? Someone said, well, he said at the end, Apostle, he going to prepare a place and that's heaven, so I gotta— no. Notice the language Jesus used. He says, where I am, you will be also. Watch this. Not where I'm going, where I am. Oh, the Holy Spirit is working on you this morning. Glory to God, he's working on you. He said where I was going— read your Bible— he says where I am you shall be also. Not where I'm going, but where I am. Wait a minute, where is he right now? Through Holy Spirit, through Holy Ghost, he's in Ah, and if he's in you, he's on earth. Because I can have heaven on earth for real. I have it every day because I spend time with the Father. You should as well. The only difference in heaven and earth, the only thing that differentiates heaven from earth is the presence of God. So if that's the case, why? Because there are— there's, there's gold in the earth. You get enough of it, you can make you some streets of gold. There are trees down here, glory to God, that bring healing. Leaves on those trees bring healing. Oh my God, there's rivers and waters on this earth. You go to some parts of the world, the water is clear and beautiful. The only thing that differentiates heaven and earth is God. God is in us. His destinies, his mansions, his man Eons. Okay, and again, we can adopt that word in English for a house with many rooms, but in our house or in God's housing, uh, who of the people and humans he housed are many purposes, many destinies, many futures. Oh boy, is this too much at 5 o'clock in the morning? Oh my God, but he didn't say you were going to get a big house when you got to heaven. He's saying on earth you're gonna dominate. Glory to God. Because there's an age of destiny, an eon in you for you to have dominion on earth. Glory to God. And he goes on to talk about, I'm sending another Comforter to further validate that this is not about you going to heaven, but heaven coming to you because God is heaven. I mean, at the end of the day, we're gonna inherit the kingdom of God, right? You know, there is a heaven. I'm not saying that. What I am saying, you can also have heaven on earth. A lot of people die, never have heaven on earth because they never fully embrace who God really is. Let's pray that. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you. God have mercy. Whoa, Shabbat! Thank you for revelation knowledge. Thank you for opening the scriptures. Thank you for constantly peeling back the word like an onion. Glory to the name of God. And giving us new new things that we have not seen, but that has already always been there. So Father, thank you that your people will receive. Glory to God. This morning, even as, as the Holy Spirit is teaching us, Father, I give you praise, I give you glory, that our hearts will not be troubled. I decree and declare we will not worry. We remove trouble, worry from the center of our moral being, from the center of our heart. And Father, we decree and declare we will not be troubled, we will not worry, but in all our ways we will trust you. And Father, we thank that in your house are many mansions. Glory to God. Many mansions, many destinies, many plans. Glory to God. Many purposes for dominion. And I thank you, God, that though— that every person under the sound of my voice, live or by replay, that they will begin to tap into the mansions in their life, God. The many mansions. They'll tap into the purpose, the plans that you have for them. And watch this. We will become the mansions that people who don't know you will enter into and find you because we are operating in our purpose. Woo! God, we thank you for it now in the mighty name of Jesus. Come on, just rejoice. Glory to God that your heart doesn't have to be troubled another day. I'm telling you, God is removing the worry this morning even as we're reading and praying. Glory to God, we're praying the word. And God sent his word and it healed them. And so God is healing you from your worry. Glory to the name of God. He's healing you from the distraction, the dilution, the diffusion of worry. Glory to God. The diversion of worry. He's healing you now in the name of— oh God, oh God, in the mighty name of Jesus. We give you praise, God. We say it is so in Jesus' name. Psalm 138. 8. And 8, I got— I'm running out of time. The Bible said, the Lord will perfect that concerning me. Thy mercy, O Lord, endure forever. Forsake not the works of thy hands. We're gonna pray all these together. Look, watch this. That's simply saying the dominion work in you, the Lord will perfect it. He will mature it. He will bring it to completion. Glory to the name of God. So there's no need to worry. As long as you stay under his mighty hand, he will perfect it. We'll pray that in a moment. James 1:22. through 25. The Bible said, but be ye doers of the word and not hearers only. For if any man be a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass. For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way and straightway forgetteth who he is. Verse 25, watch this. But whosoever looketh into the perfect law of freedom— I love it— and continue therein He being not a forgetful hearer but a doer of the work, this man— watch this— shall be blessed indeed. We're going to pray for our mind that we don't forget who God says we are and that we'll remember that we are under the perfect law of liberty. We'll pray that in a minute, in addition to praying, glory to God, that the Lord will perfect that concerning us. Glory to God. 2 Corinthians 10:5, let's read it. Casting down imagination and every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Again, this thing has to happen in your mind. Glory to the name of God. Let this same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. So we, we gonna cast down those strongholds and imaginations and those high things that exalt itself against the knowledge of God concerning dominion, concerning our purpose, You know what? When you got high things in your life that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, it produces worry. Another thing that produces worry, right? So hear me, family. Hear me, hear me, hear me good. Hear me good. If you're worrying, you've allowed that high thing to set up itself as king in your life for that moment. You should not have another king but Jesus. Because in many instances you think your worry will provide what you need to alleviate the worry. Okay, another message for another day, but the reality is your worry has no power. None. So it's not going to provide anything— watch this— but an opportunity for you to miss the mark. But when it's when the opportunity is presented to worry, you need to cast that thing down. Whoo! And trust the knowledge you have of God. That's why teaching is important, because you need to constantly be hearing the knowledge so you'll know what artillery you need. Glory to God! To put on hold— oh, Shabbat! To put against that worrying demon when he tries to exalt himself against you in circumstance. Amen. Lord, I love you. I praise you. Okay, all right, last scripture, Philippians 4:6, and then we're gonna, we're gonna pray this out. I got 3 minutes. Glory to God. We're gonna play this out. Be careful for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication and thanksgiving, let your requests, hallelujah, be made known unto God. Glory to God. So, Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for this time of prayer. And so, Father, first of all, we give you praise and glory that you will perfect that concerning us. And we decree and declare, God, that you are completing and finishing the work of dominion in our life. We're not worried because, God, we're co-laborers with you. And God, we are submitted to your leadership, your authority, your way of doing, your way of being right. And God, we trust you, God, that you cannot fail. You are perfect. So therefore, you will perfect that which concerns us. And God, we will be a light to the world. Of completion. We won't start things and not finish them. And Father, even right there, I rebuke the spirit of incompletion. I thank you that the assignments on our life, we will finish, God. We're not afraid of anything that the enemy can bring to us. We give you glory, we give you honor, we give you thanks. We thank you that our best days— elaba kandolo boko shata tabaya— are still in front of us. And so Father, we give you glory. Father, we give you honor. Father, we macrograph, we sublimate, and we thank you, God, that our best days, mm, are still in front of us, God, 'cause you're going to perfect that which concern us. And secondly, God, we pray today, God, that hallelujah, you'll give us the boldness to cast down every imagination and every high and lofty thing that exalts itself against what we know about you, God. And so Father, continue to fill us up with knowledge, continue to fill us up with revelation, so God, that when the things that come to make us worry, God, show up and try to come against that knowledge, we can throw the structure of the word, we can throw our relationship at it, and it must come down. And God, in the name of Jesus, we throw our knowledge at it this morning. Everything that anyone is worrying about today, God, we thank you that we know you are Jehovah Jireh. You're the Lord our provider, God, and we thank you that ways have been made and doors are being opened, God, and we don't lack a thing, neither do we have a care. God, we cast down worry in the name of Jesus, and we give you glory. We have more than enough. We give you glory, God. We have more than enough. And Father, we thank you. Finally, glory to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. We give you praise that what's to come is better than what has been. We bless you, we honor you, we thank you. You're so good. God, you're so kind, you're so wonderful.
