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

Well, grace and peace everyone. Good morning. This is the day the Lord has made, and welcome to day 4. Glory to the name of God of our 7 days of fasting plus prayer. It's great that we're super, um, pumped and we're super engaged. We are, man, over halfway. All right, glory to God. And we're, we're— I'm— listen, we've been being blessed. God has been meeting us in prayer. He's been meeting us in the teachings. And I want to just take a moment to thank God for you. The Bible says the diligent soul shall be made fat. So I want to thank God for all of you who've been joining us. Listen, hang in there. Let's complete this assignment. One of the things I prayed for yesterday is that God will bind up false starts, starting things and not finishing them. So we're gonna finish this fast with joy, and we're gonna see the victory and the fruit that comes out of this fast. Do me a favor, family, I need you to right now, uh, just take a moment, please. Uh, I, I do this every single day. I ask you to share, and I'm kindly again asking if you will share— glory to the name of God— uh, this experience with someone. So please hit the share button, be a blessing to someone else. Someone else may need to pray with us this morning, so please hit that share button and make sure that you are sharing this encounter. Please also like, like, like, like below. Glory to the name of God. And just help the algorithm understand that we are here. Comment below, let us know you're here. Again, a pleasant good morning to everyone. Uh, so glad, uh, that you're tapping in. Amen. We're gonna pray, we're gonna eat. Glory to the name of God. And, uh, God's gonna get the glory. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Uh, what a time we've been having. Glory to the name of God. And, uh, again, we welcome you here. We welcome you here. Glory to the name of God. Thank you, uh, for your diligence. And I repeat, the Bible says the diligent soul shall be made fat. So this morning, again, this whole focus of prayer this week is around dominion and elements that contribute, uh, to dominion. And we're praying away the enemies, glory to God, that could stop us from actually taking our dominion place. This has been, uh, so tremendously, uh, good. Oh, God bless you, Apostle Pugh. Good to see you, woman of God. Thank you for being on here this morning. Glory to God. Listen, we want to make sure that— and again, I cannot, uh, lead, uh, a group of companies called Arata Group. I can't lead Ministry, Rhoda Church, Rhoda Alliance of Fivefold Ministry, uh, the Rhoda Alliance for Apostles. Listen, I can't lead these entities, uh, that suggest that we're dominion people and we not actually apply it. So my duty as a leader is to ensure through teaching and through prayer and through mentorship and taking time with you is ensuring that you are getting the information you need so you can actually dominate in your sphere of influence. Now, once I release it, it's up to you to make application. Glory to the name of God. Because information without application— y'all already know the rest of it, right?— is constipation. Praise God. So we don't want you constipated. We don't want life hard. Uh, it can really be easy. Watch this. He said if you take the yoke and learn the— hallelujah, hallelujah— the yoke is easy and the burden is light. Things become hard when we don't take the position of a learner and we don't apply what we learn. Glory to the name of God. So I pray this morning that the burden will be removed even again as we pray. Glory to God. So this morning, uh, praise God, we are praying about— my God, I love him, he's a good God, thank you Jesus— we're praying about sanctification. One of the scriptures we've been referencing throughout these teachings, which are very important to establishing a foundation of why we are people of dominion, right, is in Jeremiah 1:5. The Bible said, before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. And that word knew is yadagin. So God says, I had contact with you, I was intimate with you, I opened you up, and I began to make deposits in your life. So when you got to you can withdraw those deposits and begin to operate, watch this, in your sanctification. He said, I knew you and I sanctified you. So we're gonna pray about sanctification because there's no way on earth you can operate in dominion if you don't walk out sanctification. And I grew up in what, was deemed the sanctified church. And many a times, uh, we got the surface— hear me— of sanctification, right? So, uh, it was interpreted that sanctified was women with dresses down to their ankles, right? Uh, no makeup, no earrings, no red fingernail polish. And, you know, if you were involved in sanctified church, glory to God, you practiced holiness and righteous living. Now, those— that's something we should do right now. The dress part, legalistic at best, but I want to share with you, it, it put in context, you know, how, how different we should be. Now, it was extreme because it was legalistic, but the reality is there should be a difference, and sanctification suggests that we are different. Sanctification says we have been set aside by the hand of God for difference, for authenticity, to do a particular assignment or work. Clip that, all right? Clip that. You have been set aside by God to do a particular assignment or work in the earth. That's sanctification. God makes you uniquely and authentically different so you could do that work. You'll never have dominion being a copycat. All right? You'll never have dominion embracing what everybody else— here we go— is doing. Oh God, here we go. And trying to copy them. You gotta find your own flavor. You gotta find your own swag. You gotta find your own power. You gotta find that unique thing about you that sanctifies you for the work that you are called to, the assignment that you are called to. Listen, the thing that you have been called to do, nobody else can do it better than you or like you. Glory to Jesus. Oh my God, today, my God, today. Oh God, we love you. All right, so we're praying about sanctification. Y'all know how we do it around here. Uh, again, hit that like button, hit that share button. Praise the name of God. Um, it's just nice to be nice. Praise God. And as the banner says on the screen, sharing is godly. So make sure you share. Praise the name of God. So let's get into this. John 17:17. Glory to God. And, um, I am— glory to God— going to actually read. I'm gonna start at verse 13 because I think it's context, and I'm gonna read out of The Message Bible. I like this, how, how it reads, uh, a few of these verses this morning. He says, now I'm returning to you. I'm saying these words in the world's hearing so my people can experience my joy completed in them. I gave them your word. The goodness of the world hated them because of it, because they didn't join the world's ways. Sanctification, right? Just as I did not join the world's ways. This is Jesus talking. He said, I'm not asking you that you take them out of the world, but that you guard them from the evil one. They are no more defined by the world. And he's speaking of you and I, well, and those of us that follow him, kingdom citizens. We cannot be defined by the world. Uh, we spoke about this yesterday, or we cannot. And when our mind is renewed, we don't accept world systems, we don't accept word curses, we don't accept how others have defined us. But when God renews our mind, one of the things he renews our mind to is how he feels about us. And this is sanctification, people, in its truest form, without the long dress. No makeup, earrings, no lipstick, no perm in your hair, you know, dolly on your head. Without all of that, sanctification really is your mind being renewed to your identity, being renewed to who you really are. And this is what we're praying about this morning. He says, so he said, they are no longer defined by the world. He said, I'm not defined by the world. He said, make them holy, consecrated with the truth. Your word is consecrating truth. In the same way that you gave me a mission in the world, I give them a mission in the world. I'm consecrating myself for their sakes so they'll be truth consecrated in their mission. So here's the first piece, family, and here's what I believe. Here's what I believe, that truth is the ultimate— oh boy, it's the ultimate tool of sanctification. Oh boy, y'all with me? Glory to the name of God. It's the ultimate tool of sanctification. Glory to God. So we're going to pray this morning that God will sanctify us by truth. Watch this, that every time we hear truth, it will cause another dimension of sanctification in our mind, in our body, our spirit. As a matter of fact, say this with me. Say, Father, I thank you. Come on, say it please. That again, we, we, we pray the word and we believe what we say, and we believe that when we, hallelujah, speak the word, angels hearken. Watch this, to the voice of thy word. So we believe as we're praying this, this morning, as we make this declaration, that angels are going to bring this thing to pass. So say it with me. Say, Father, Hallelujah. I thank you that I am being sanctified right now in Jesus' name by the truth. Say this with me. Say, your word is truth. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Say, Jesus, you consecrated yourself for my sake. Oh, let's say that again. Said, Jesus, you consecrated yourself for my sake. Watch this and say this here. So I'll be consecrated by truth in my assignment, in my authority, in my purpose. I say in the name of Jesus, I am in the world but I am not of the world. Say, I am separated for assignment. Say, I am separated to be authentic. And say, in Jesus' name, I will dominate because I am sanctified. In Jesus' name. Would you give God praise and glory for that right now? In the mighty name of Jesus. Glory to God. We thank him. We, oh, ah, shikurama. We honor his great name. Glory to God. Yes, Lord, we praise you and we bless you. God, God is so good, he's so kind. Just touch yourself and say, sanctify me, Lord. Glory to God, we give him praise. Okay, let's go, let's go to Isaiah 1, verses 16 and 17. The Bible says, wash yourselves, make yourselves clean, put away evil from before my eyes, cease to do evil. This is good stuff. So first of all, wash yourself. Take your own bath. Glory to the name of God. You don't need bathers in the spirit. Glory to the name of God. Nor in the natural. Glory to the name of God. Wash yourself. Glory to the name of God. Take your own bath. Clean yourself. Don't depend on anyone else to do it. In other words, let's go back to the first verse. Consecrate yourself. Put yourself in positions where you're consistently receiving truth, right? So you can be sanctified. Make yourself clean. Wash yourself. Make sure you're clean. Take responsibility for your cleanliness. Glory to the name of God. And, and listen, this is a cleansing of the heart, a cleansing of the mind. Glory to God. Make sure you're being— because you shall know truth and truth will make you free. Make sure you're encountering hearing truth consistently, so you're being washed. So watch this, that washing precedes sanctification. He says, watch this, put away the evil from before his eyes. So the evil that— watch this, because God sees everything you do. I want you to listen, listen, family. You should live like there's a dove on your shoulder. And if that dove is symbolic of the Holy Spirit, right? Y'all heard me teach this before. I— it was just jumped in my spirit to say it right now. The reality is you got to live like there's a dove on your shoulder, and you got to live with the sensitivity that if I move the wrong way, that dove will fly away. God is with you, right? He's watching everything you do. So you have to Guard your thoughts, guard your behaviors, guard your doubts and your fears, because sin separates from God, and you do not want to be detached from him. So he says, remove the evil of your doings from my eyes, right? Cease to do evil. Verse 17: Learn to do good, seek justice, rebuke the oppressor, defend the fatherless, plead for the widow. Ultimately, this is what happens when you begin to take dominion. You're doing good, you're seeking justice. Watch this, not just, uh, justice in the terms of natural law, but also justice in terms of spiritual law. Do you realize God is a just God? And there's justice beyond you getting saved, right? So it's just for the word of God to be made manifest in your life. It's a just action for God's word to come alive in your life. Not just to go to church and go through religious actions and oh my God, and to buck and to shout and to have fun at the church. The reality is you should be experiencing the justice of God's word. Okay, let me give you an example. It's justice, right? It's, it's, it's justice means that a law is being upheld in your life and honoring you because you are, you are recipient of the benefit of that law. That's justice. Now, the word of God is just for you to be healed. So if you're walking around sick, oh my God, you don't serve an unjust God. So he says seek justice. Don't accept what's going on in your body. Seek justice with his stripes right? You are healed. Yeah, y'all feel me, right? I'm trying to find y'all this morning. Uh, come on, wake up, wake up. Glory to God, wake up, shake yourself. You got to seek justice. Don't just let all this justice in the word and the laws of the kingdom not be found. Listen, it's justice that you move into Psalm 66, your wealthy place, okay? So seek justice. Seek how and the strategies to take dominion so you can move into your wealthy place. Ah, poverty is unjust. Oh God, because you can't bring correction to the oppressor if you're not in dominion and walking in justice. You can't defend the fatherless and plead for the widow if you're not walking in the justice of God's authority and power yourself. You gotta seek justice. So let's pray this. Let's pray about washing ourselves. Glory to God. Let's pray about moving the evil, those things. Evil, ra in Hebrew, R-A, ra. Yeah, those things that oppose God. Glory to God. Those things that are against the plan of God. Ah, Jesus. Let's pray. Glory to the name of God that justice will prevail in our life through the word of God. Let's pray this. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for Isaiah chapter number 1, verses 16 and 17, and we pray right now according to this word. And Father, first of all, I pray for the boldness and the authority, the power to— for us to continually wash ourselves daily in your word. God, may we be washed in truth. May we be washed in your word. Glory to God. So that evil can depart your eyes, so that there'll be no evil— glory to God— in your eyes, that we won't practice evil and make excuses. Glory to the name of God. That we have grace for a thing, but the reality is, while you have provided grace. If we sin, we have an advocate with the Father. We don't leave our home, we don't wake up with the attitude to sin. Glory to God. Because we don't want to deliberately put evil in your eyes. Glory to God. So wash us in truth, wash us, deliver us, set us free, God. Remove the evil, God, so that we can operate in justice. So we'll even have a mindset to, instead of seeking ways we can compromise, we want the justice of the scripture to come alive in our our life, God. And so, Father, this morning, in the name of Jesus, may the justice of the word of God come alive in our life. And Father, we thank you that we'll see prosperity, we'll experience wealthy place, we'll experience dominion, we'll experience healing in our body, we'll experience signs and wonders, we'll experience the fruit of the Spirit operating fully in our life, we'll experience a practice of holy and righteous living, we will experience sanctification that causes influence, authority, and dominion in the world. We give you praise and glory for it now. We receive it. Oba shibakusha. In the mighty name of Jesus, it is so. Somebody ought to praise God. Somebody ought to give God praise for justice. I'm telling you, I sense it. I sense it. Just right where you are. If you gotta lift your hands, if you gotta clap 'em, if you gotta open your mouth, I just heard the Holy Ghost say, thank him in advance for justice. Just begin to praise him right now for the justice of the word showing up in your life. 'Cause as you seek it, The Holy Ghost said, "You shall find it." Glory to God. Oh yeah, 'cause we seek everything else except justice. Glory to God. We'll be seeking a deeper walk with him. We'll be seeking a deeper prayer life and all that's good, but you also ought to be seeking justice. Don't accept, whoo, the old mother used to sing a song, "While on others thou art calling, do not pass me by." by. You do not want justice to pass you by. You want the justice of this word. Listen, the justice of this word says that he will supply your needs according to his riches. It's justice that he release your— oh my God— your needs being met according to his riches. Not out of his riches, but according to his riches. So that means that when he supplies it, he eliminates need totally. See, just this, man. All right, let me keep moving, let me keep moving. Uh, 2 Corinthians 6 and verse 17. I want to read this one in The Message again because I like how it reads. So let me, let me go to open my message. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Ah, are y'all getting anything this morning? I'm trying to find y'all, man. Come on, wake up, wake up, wake up. Hallelujah. Glory to the name of God. Uh, 2 Corinthians 6 Uh, verse 17. Watch this. He said, don't become partners with those who reject God. You're sanctified, so don't become partners with those who reject God. How can you make a partnership out of right and wrong? That's not partnership, that's war. Is light— oh my God— best friends with dark? Does Christ go strolling and take a walk with the devil? Do trust and mistrust hold hands? Who would think of setting up pagan idols in God's holy temple? But that is exactly what we are, each of us a temple in whom God lives. God put himself in this way. He says, I live in them, move into them, I'll be their God and they'll be my people. So leave the corruption and compromise, leave it for good, saith God. Don't link up with those who will pollute you. I want you for myself. I'll be a father to you, saith God. You'll be sons and daughters to me. The word of your master God. Did y'all get that, man? This is heavy. He says, I've moved in, so you cannot have partnership with the world. We don't partner with the laws of the world or the systems of the world. We partner with God. He's our partner. We operate in a collaborative partnership with our Father to take dominion. You cannot take dominion in your fear of influence, being partners with the world system. You're not here to partner with them. Your heart beats to take authority over them. Yeah, their wealth is laid up for your just cause. Oh, glory to God! You're not here to create partnerships with worldly entities, worldly mindsets. You are alive. Glory to the name of God. To partner with God's plan and allow him to order your steps. Oh, it's so easy to embrace— here we go— partnership with familiarity, something that makes you comfortable. So you partner with that mindset, you partner with that way of living. But God says, I'm in you, I'm alive in you, I'm your God, you're my children. Partner with me and let me get glory out of your life. What a partner to have. I want y'all to grab that for show, uh, this, this Thursday morning. God's your partner. Are y'all hearing this? He, he Israel wrote it. I am a friend of God. Yeah, I am a friend of God. We, we are— we— he calls us friend. He calls us partners, even though we're his children. When it comes to advancing the kingdom in dominion, he says, I'm working with you because we're in this together to make sure we control the earth. Now watch this. You may say, why didn't God just take over the world and just be in charge? Church because he wants to be chosen. He wants to be accepted, and he leaves evil and darkness in place to give light and truth and dominion context. Ah, if there was nothing for us to take domination over, there would be no need for domination. So the whole context is so he can get glory. Hallelujah! Out of our lives and our dominion purpose. Let's pray this. We're partners. Let's pray this because Uh, we're not to partner with those again that reject God. So let's pray. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you this morning that we have partnership with you, and you've given us clear instruction not to partner with those who reject God, not to align our life with people, oh my God, who reject you, not to align ourselves with systems, uh, that are ran by atheists. Oh, here we go. And people who say there is no God. But those of us that know you, that have relationship with you, that see your hand working in our lives and see what you've done in our life, God, we align. Ah, ure shemo, we align ourselves in friendship and partnership with you so that we can take authority and take our place of dominion. God, this is sanctification— accepting partnership, accepting the line of demarcation that our partnership with you draws between us and the world. Oh my God, it clearly identifies that we are on your side. Glory to God, we stand for your truth. Gloria, we don't compromise your truth to be accepted by the world, but we align with your truth so that we might dominate and influence the world to follow you, to follow your patterns, God. And we will operate at this level of sanctification, not just long dresses, hallelujah, not just outward legalism, but in the name of Jesus, we thank you that sanctification is not just being a good churchgoer, glory to God. Well, we thank you that the oil of sanctification is being released on our life right now in the name of Jesus. Glory to God, so that we can be an identifying factor of kingdom in the world. So that when people see our lives, when they see our actions, they'll see the kingdom of God at work. When they see the things we write, the things we build, glory to God, the businesses we start, glory to God, the behavior we display, they will see the kingdom at work. And we give you praise and thank you, God, that we're not in this alone. And thank you that sanctification gives us access to partnership with you. Oh God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Oh my God, would you bless God? Mm-hmm. Huh, would you bless God for partnership? Woo! Oh, hallelujah! You're not by yourself. So when God gives you a dream, when he gives you a vision, stop thinking you gotta undertake this thing alone. But you don't, man, you don't. Glory to God, you got partnership with God. Hallelujah! He's with you. Glory to God. And he wants to make sure you succeed, but you got to show up. You can't have a partnership when one partner don't show up. In a marriage, both partners have to show up every day, right? So the marriage can be successful. Glory to God. You got to show up. You got to show up for this partnership with God, and you got to be in position so that the conditions of the partnership— because positions influence conditions— so the position that you align yourself in with God as partner will begin to manifest the conditions of the partnership, which is resources, which is his presence, which is his abilities. All that is in God becomes available to you. Are y'all hearing this? Because you're partners with him. Okay, okay. Oba, shelebe koshian tabaki. Thank you for this sanctification, God, that gives us partnership. We give you praise, we give you glory. We thank you, Lord. We thank you, Lord. Come on, just thank him. Just thank him. He's so good. All right. All right, 2 Corinthians 7, verse 1. Glory to God. Oh Jesus, I love him. I feel God, man. He's Shabaya. For truly I say unto you, my little ones, this morning that I have indeed set you aside. I have a, um, destined place for you even on Earth, but it is in total alignment with me, said God. And I have caused you to walk along my side so that you will experience sweatless victory. For as you work with me, I work with you, and I make your way easy. For yes, I remove the the burden, and I make the yoke easy, and I bring true liberty to your walk and your process because you partner with me. For yes, I have sanctified you for a unique purpose. And I say unto you, my little ones, that you are different. You are not of the world. You are not in the world to be a part of the world. You are in the world to be my light to the world. For yes, I have set you as a city on a hill that cannot be hid. And because you will not be hidden, your sanctification must be true, because you shall now be lights to those that will come to me as you take your place in the world and take dominion in your place of purpose, says the Lord. Glory to God. Oh my God, somebody ought to give God praise. My God, today, thank you, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. I praise you. We receive it, God. We receive, we receive in Jesus' name. 2 Corinthians 7:1, the Bible says, therefore, having these promises, good God, good God, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of the Lord. Let me help you. Holiness is still right. Glory to God. And the Bible says here, because we have these promises of partnership, right? We got promises of dominion. We got promises of health and healing. We got promises of protection. We got promises of deliverance. The Bible says here, the Bible says here, let us cleanse ourselves. Goes back to that washing we read about earlier. Of all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. So you got to not only clean up your body and the deeds of your body, but you got to also clean up the filthiness of your spirit, which lets me know the Corinthians knew God, they were in God, but they had filthiness in their flesh and their spirit. And Paul says says y'all need to clean this up so you can see these promises come forth in your life. So you gotta adjust what's in your heart, what's in your spirit, the things that are coming out of your body in your life. Get that— doubt is filthy. Get doubt out of your spirit. Stop doubting God. You gotta believe God. You gotta trust God. Stop doubting him. Stop doubting him. He's gonna make a way. He's gonna open a door. He's gonna provide. Get that filthiness of doubt. That worry is filthiness, right? All right, you might not be committing adultery or fornicating, but you worry about everything. You might not be telling lies, but glory to that, you walk in fear and doubt and unbelief. That's filthiness in your spirit. You might not be manifesting lasciviousness or any of the works of the flesh, but you got filthiness in your spirit because you got hatred in your heart or bitterness in your heart against someone. God says here, wash yourself of this, cleanse this, because for the mere reason that you got these promises. Because he said, I cannot release the promises with this stuff in your flesh and your spirit. So let's pray for the cleansing, right? So Father, in the name of Jesus, we come to you right now. We repent first of all of any sin of omission, commission, any sin of the flesh, any sin of the spirit. And Father, we ask you this morning to wash our flesh, wash our thoughts, because you may not have done it, but you thought it. So Father, we say wash us in our mind, wash the deeds of our mind, watch the— wash and cleanse the filthiness of the spirit with your blood. Wash away the worry, the doubt, the fear, the hatred, the bitterness. Oh my God, the anxiety. Wash those filthy things out of our spirit. Wash it out, God, in the name of Jesus. Wash those things that at the core, oh my God, that we don't see but that we harbor in our hidden man. Father, we're asking you to wash and clean it up now. In the mighty— oh God, oh God— in the mighty name of Jesus, so that we can adhere to the promises you provided, so that we can manifest those promises and experience them in our life. Because those promises are clean, they're pure, they have a whole holy nature. And so, Father, wash us so we can receive those promises in the mighty name of Jesus. Jesus, remove the filthiness, bring deliverance even now in the name of Jesus. The way of a transgressor is hard. So Father, move the transgression from body and spirit now in Jesus' name. So that the promises of dominion and the promises of truth and the promises that sanctification can manifest in our life in the mighty name of Jesus. Oh my God. Hashabah. Letaba mamandi koshi andaya. Woo! Shababato koto shianta tabaya. Bresobokusha. Etamandi koshi. We give you praise, God. We give you glory. We give you glory. Listen, this fast is about incisions and circumcision, uh, taking the circumference of your entire being, of your proper type being, body, soul, and spirit, and making incision, cutting out of the circumference of your being, of who you are, everything that's not like God. Because in order to do that, take dominion, we gotta get clean, man. We got to get filthy stinking thinking and stinking spirits out of our life. And we gotta walk in the things that he's called us to, man. Oh my God. Thank you, Jesus. We love you. We love you, Jesus. We love you. Glory to the name of God. We want the promises of God to come forth. So Father, we thank you for the washing. God, wash away the fear. Somebody that's watching me right now, I hear that, Lord. Glory to God. You are dealing with roots of bitterness and pain and brokenness that's causing worry and fear and anxiety because it's coming from this root from your past. God have mercy. Lord have mercy. I don't know who this is for this morning, but God said he's cursing it at the root now. And you just have to receive and separate, oh God, your past from your future. There is an ax coming down in the spirit. Rabba tuske tebe ho shiku rabba ta. That's cutting this thing away at the root and separating your past Mashiko rombuska tatabay from your future, because the enemy does not want you to experience the maximized place of your future. Oh, but let God break it. Let God clean it up now in the name of Jesus. Come on, receive it. Glory to God. Because it's been hidden in there, and then it manifests as fear. It manifests, glory, as worry. It manifests says doubt, and God says, I want to release my promises, but you got to let me cut this thing up so that it can come forth in your life. In the mighty name of Jesus. Let me keep moving so I don't take up much of my time. Glory to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory to God. 1 John 1:9. Praise the name of Jesus. Glory to Jesus. The Bible says this: if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. Now watch this, let's just deal with this really quick before we pray. Sins, harmatia in Greek, which you're— which is missing the mark. The things that we do, we think, we say, we act out, where we come short and miss the mark. Now you gotta confess this. You ain't got to go in a booth and sit down and talk to another person. You need to get on your face, nobody but you and him, and you need to confess to God your sins. And sometimes that's right? Because you don't even want to see yourself in that way, especially some of those things you know that you have pushed to the back, but you know they still there. Or you know areas where you're not doing exactly as much as you should and you're coming short. It may be you don't— you're not praying like you ought to, you're not studying like you ought to. Oh boy, you misalign yourself in ways that you know is not in agreement with what God has been saying to you. So you've created partnerships with things and people that are not in alignment with who God says you are. So you need to repent of those things. And I'm just naming a few things. I don't know if that's helping anybody, but what you need to do is take an introspective and put a searchlight on your and you need to repent of those things that are hindrance. Oh my God, this morning he said if you confess it, he'll forgive it, right? And he'll cleanse you from the unrighteousness. Okay, all unrighteousness is sin. Unrighteousness— righteousness is diasuni, which is— okay, here we go— God's way of being accurate and right. So when your unrighteousness— when you operate in unrighteousness, you have detached yourself from God's way of being accurate and right. So that don't necessarily have to be, again, what you think sin is, because really you need to tap into what he deems as accurate. This is real sanctification, people, because now you can really set yourself apart because you what he deems accurate. So let's pray this, man. Let's pray. Uh, matter of fact, as I'm praying, I want you to begin to pray about your sins. Just begin to repent. We just asked God to remove the filthiness, so let's confess again. And then let's ask God to restore righteousness, his way of being accurate, his way of being— oh God, hallelujah, hallelujah— right in your life. You don't— that you don't miss it in no way because you're aligned with what he wants out of you. So Father, we thank you. We thank you for truth. We thank you for sanctification. We thank you, God. Yeah, that you are faithful and just to forgive our sins. So Father, this morning, metanoia, we repent. Repentance is a change of heart, a change of mind, a change of behavior. So Father, we repent, we change our mind, we change our heart, we change our behavior, which means we'll never return to that thing we're asking for forgiveness from. So for— God, forgive us for every sin of omission, commission. God, forgive us for every place we've come short and not aligned with your accurate way of doing and being right. And in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare that you will restore righteousness as you forgive us, align us, give us clarity of your thought process concerning us so we don't miss it. Make it clear to us. But God, even as we confess those things that we know you're not pleased with this morning, God, have mercy and forgive in the name of Jesus. We bless you, we honor you, we thank you that what's to come, God, is better than what has been. In Jesus' name, glory to God. I need you to praise God for restoration. Glory to God. Praise God. Hallelujah for a new dimension of righteousness. Glory to God. Where you're operating as a person who has been sanctified by God, flowing in your dominion purpose. Come on, give God praise and glory for that. Uh, we're on Instagram, 3 Facebook pages, YouTube, wherever you're watching us, listen, I don't want you to take this lightly. God challenges our thoughts, our behavior. He challenges things that are hidden in our life so that he can release those things which are pure and holy to us, because he even tells us, give that which is holy not to dogs. Why would he share his holy things with us when our thoughts and behavior don't line up with the purity required to operate in those things? We make things hard because we live in transgression. Oh my gosh. Shika rabasha. Oh God, I love you, I love you, I love you, Jesus, I love you. Oh my God, oh my God, I pray for your people, God. I pray they're getting this this morning. Glory to Jesus. Almost done, family. Uh, 1 Corinthians 1 and verse 30. Glory to God. The Bible says this, it says, but of him you are in Christ, but of him you are in Christ, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption. Oh my God. So we are in Christ, we are who we are because we are interpenetrated into him. We are a part of him. And watch this, he became for us the wisdom from God. So in other words, he's our example that we can operate in wisdom from God. He's our example that we can operate in righteousness. He's our example that we can operate in sanctification He's our example that we can be redeemed. Now I want to dismantle some bad theology around this text, right? There are people that read this text that suggest that because Christ was wisdom for us, we don't have to be wise. Because Christ was righteous for us, because we don't have to be righteous. No, this is— that's this— that's bad theology, man. And people who are teaching this, this is a doctrine of the devil because he's robbing you of the opportunity to operate in the promise of dominion. Because the reality is redemption is not a license to go against the plan of God. It's quite the contrary. When you are redeemed now the expectation is that you'll respond to the redemption by living in wisdom from God, by living in righteousness from God. Oh my God, by living out the sanctification of God, not by sitting back, say, okay, well, Jesus already did that, so I can just say I'm saved and be a heathen, say I'm saved, act like I ain't got no sense, say I'm saved and have partnership with the world. No ma'am, no sir. If you want to release these promises and if you want to take dominion, you gotta align yourself with the inner penetration that has happened in your life through redemption and operate in wisdom from God. This making sense? Righteousness from God. Sanctification from God. Let's pray that. Father, in Jesus' name, this morning I'm asking you to help us to continue to walk out wisdom from you. May we seek your wisdom. And you— and James said it like this: if any man lack wisdom, which is an indicator we need it, let him ask of God. So Father, we ask you for wisdom because the Bible says— James said it again— you give it liberally and you don't take it back once you give give it. So Father, I'm praying for wisdom that comes from you in business, wisdom from you in matters of the kingdom, so that we can establish dominion in the various aspects of our life. God, release, superimpose your wisdom upon us now in the mighty name of Jesus, that we won't operate out of what we think we know about you, what tradition and religion have taught us about you. But God, in the name of Jesus, we decree and declare that the wisdom of would arrest us and superimpose itself upon us, and you will get the glory out of our life. We thank you for it. Secondly, God, we pray for righteousness from heaven. We thank you, God, that we will be empowered to live accurately. Glory to God. To live in alignment in our behavior on a day-to-day basis, in our thoughts on a day-to-day basis. And not— that's not just being sin conscious, but it is right to walk in purpose. It is right to walk in dominion. So Father, Sanctify us to that end that we understand that, whoo, we ought to be dominating and it's right to do it. Glory to God. In our fear of influence. And Father, we thank you for the sanctification. Oh God, we thank you for setting us aside for this assignment. And may we walk this out and not just live reckless lives, but may we be clear on what we've been sanctified for and what we've been redeemed for. And we praise you for it now, to your glory, to your honor, in Jesus' name. Come on, rejoice, rejoice about that. Glory to God, we give you praise, God. My God, today, yeah, God, we're gonna get— we're gonna get through Ephesians 4. Got a few more verses, we're almost out of here. Glory to God. Ephesians 4, uh, verses 22 through 24. The Bible says this, that you put off concerning your former conduct the old man which grows corrupt according to this deceitful lust. In other words, what you feed will grow. He says put off this old man because the old man consistently lusts after the deceits of the world because you were trained— the old man was trained in those systems. So when you get saved, it's still lust after those systems because those systems are deceitful and they are comfortable. And because you're trappertite, your spirit got saved and your old man is still trying to conform you back to those ways. But the Bible says here, put it off. We're gonna pray this in a minute. Glory to God. Verse 23, and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. We pray about renewing your mind yesterday. We talked about renewing your mind also. Glory to God, be renewed in the spirit of your mind. Verse 24: And that you put on the new man which was created according to God in true righteousness and holiness. So he's basically just telling us, take off the old and put on the new for real. Again, put on the new man which brings righteousness and holiness. So So basically, he's saying that when you really put it on, these things are going to be displayed out of your life. You're going to be taking your dominion purpose, you're going to be living as a sanctified person, fulfilling your assignment, and the righteousness of God and the holiness of God is going to flow through you. It can't happen if you still partners with the old man. You got to put him off. Well, I'm gonna read the next two scriptures and then we're gonna pray. Uh, 2 Timothy 2:21, the Bible says this: Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from the latter, he will be a vessel of honor— whoo— sanctified and useful for the master, prepared for every good work. If you didn't believe anything I was saying about you can't take dominion You cannot operate fully in your place of purpose and partnership with God without holiness and righteousness and sanctification. Take this one scripture. If none of the other scriptures convinced you, this one oughta, because the Bible says if you want to be a vessel of honor, useful, sanctified for the master, and prepared for every good work Dominion is a good work, and everything you do goes toward that space of dominion. You must cleanse yourself from the latter so it'll be a vessel of honor and not of shame. Oh God, I don't have time. Let me move, let me move. Glory to God. Isaiah 1:19. We're closing with this. We started with 1:16, 17, the beginning. But watch this: if you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land. So if you didn't believe that the promises that come from God are born out of holiness and obedience in your behavior. Oh God, my God. He said, if you willing— so you gotta be willing to do this— I'm not— he says, I'm not going to make you notice everything we read today and have prayed over has been about you doing it, cleansing yourself. We started out with wash yourself, cleanse yourself, take off. All of these require action from you. So you got to be now willing and obedient. So be willing to take your dominion place, be willing to dismiss the things of the past, and be obedient to what God says because you're in a line with him. He says you're gonna eat the good, the fat, the profit of the land. And we already have discussed you cannot have dominion without fruitfulness. We prayed about fruitfulness, I think, on day 1 or day 2. The reality is, if you're gonna be fruitful— or maybe yesterday we prayed about fruitfulness— the reality is you got to have fruitfulness so you can multiply, replenish your earth, subdue spirit so you can have dominion. But you got to be willing, you got to be obedient. Let's pray. We're gonna close. Let's pray. Father, we thank you, hallelujah, for a willing and obedient spirit. We thank you for that. We are vessels of honor. Just say that. Say, I'm a vessel of honor and not of shame. Hallelujah. I'm a vessel of honor and not of shame. And Father, we remove the former. Hallelujah. Say, I remove the former things, everything in my life that's not like you. Say, in the name of Jesus, I remove it all now, and I declare I am a vessel of honor. Say, I'm meet for the Master's use. Say, I am prepared for every good work, and I will take dominion in my area of influence because I I am sanctified by God in Jesus' name. Amen. Oh my God, I pray that you have felt the influence of heaven through this prayer this morning. I pray that you feel lighter. I pray that you're experiencing growth even as we go through these days. And this is one of the things God promised me, that as we went through this time of prayer and teaching, uh, through this week together, that you were going to grow and expand, man. And we're just grateful. I believe it's happening. I believe that when this is all said and done, we're going to be so close to operating in dominion, so close to a clarity about where we should be and what we should be doing. Uh, it's going to be phenomenal. So I love you guys. Y'all be blessed. Make sure you join me at 12 noon today. I'm gonna give you an update that the Lord gave me concerning the fast today, uh, at 12 noon. Noon. So make sure you join me. You want to join me so you can get that update. Amen. Glory to the name of God. Um, I just have been praying, praying, praying, even at between the time, spending time with God, and, and the Lord just been speaking to me a lot about you as you're enduring and going through the fast. So I want to give you some updates, uh, about it as we head toward the end. So make sure you're on at 12 noon, and we're going to continue teaching about the mystery of dominion today at noon. Make sure you're on. Let's eat together, man. Y'all be blessed. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. Y'all have a good day. Peace.
