5 AM PRAYER WITH DR. MIKE WOODS | 24 JUNE 2025

Well, praise the Lord and a pleasant good morning to everybody. This is the day, glory to God, that the Lord has made, and we rejoice and we're glad in it. Welcome to 5 AM Prayer. My name is Michael Woods. For those of you who are uninitiated, welcome. And today, glory to the name of God, I'm going to pray, um, about bearing fruit. This is where the Lord led us this morning. And you know how we do, we read the word and we pray the word, because the Bible says in 1 John, if we ask anything according to his will. He doesn't. So our main goal is not so much, uh, emotionalism in prayer, but it's results. And so this morning I just feel led to pray about bearing fruit. You know, the scripture is very clear that this is one of the desires of our Lord and Savior, is that we, his people, his family here on Earth, that we actually bear fruit. And I believe that prophetically we're in a strategic moment in time, uh, with nuclear weapons being dropped and nuclear weapons being destroyed in foreign countries, with all the things that are going on here even in the United States. Uh, we must bear fruit. We got to bear fruit of his power. We got to bear fruit of his anointing. We gotta bear fruit of his prosperity. Hallelujah! We gotta bear fruit of what we believe in the word, because there's so many things out here now that will try to cause us to believe— hear me, family— that the word of the living God is not enough, that the word of the living God is not real. But I want to tell you something, that the word of God is alive. As the scripture says, and it is sharper than any two-edged sword. So this morning, again, we're praying about bearing fruit. Glory to the name of God. Just rub your belly right where you are and say, Lord, I thank you for the fruit that shall come out of me. And say, in the name of Jesus, I know this because you, Father, I've already planted the seed for the fruit to manifest, and because of this, I will manifest your power, your anointing, your glory, and your authority in my life. Lebasu, rebakisan tabaya, rebukushi katalabaha. We give you praise, God. So let's start this morning with John 15 and verse number 16. Praise God. Hallelujah. And we again, we read the word and we pray the word. Glory to God. Again, we ask anything according to his will, uh, the hēlia in Greek, his will, old will, new will. Hallelujah. Is his word. Uh, it is his last will and testament to us. Glory to God. Father, we bless you. Father, we honor you. Uh, John 15:16, let's read. The Bible says— this is Jesus speaking— he says, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. Touch your belly, say, I'm chosen. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. That means you're elected, selected. And protected. Matter of fact, the word in Greek is ekglomai, ekglomai, which means you are elected by God, handpicked by him for a special purpose, a special assignment. Yeah, this is a power word, ekglomai. You, you're selected, elected, and then you are— so you're selected, You're RSVP'd into this special place, which means it's, it's a place that only you can exist in his eyes because there's a specific work for you. And then you're protected. He protects you. This, this is good. So he says, I— you, you have been chosen by God. We didn't choose God, he chose us. Watch this. He says, and I ordained you. I said order to your steps. Glory to God. That you should go and bring forth fruit. My God. And that your fruit— listen— should remain, that whatsoever you shall ask of my Father in my name, he may give you. This is powerful. So this text is telling us that fruit becomes a condition of answered prayer. Wow. He said, now I've ordained you, I ordered your steps, uh, type 'emi' in Greek, which literally means that he's put you in place to obey. Oh God. So he's put you on earth, you're alive, your heart is beating, for obedience toward him. I'm gonna say that again: your heart is beating for obedience toward him. And he says, now when you obey me, hallelujah, the ordination— you go now, when you hear the word, you see who you are, you align with your purpose, and then you go and bring forth fruit out of that purpose. Carpos is fruit. Uh, it is, hallelujah, the posterity that comes out of you for others to partake of and watch this, live off even after you're gone. This abasi lekunsha tatavaha yamansu. My God, today. So it's not just us jumping, shouting, speaking in tongues, going through the motions of church. We need to be bearing fruit in our life and showing up in the world. And I'm telling right now, the world needs us now. And it starts with obedience to his plan, his purpose, obedience to the ordination and the election that's on your life. God has elected you for something unique. So let's pray this scripture right now. Glory to God. And then we'll move to the next. But listen, I need you to understand, you gotta obey God. And you got to bring forth fruit. It's a condition, my God, of answered prayer. Wow. It says— I didn't say it, Jesus said. He says that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask of the Father in my name, he may give it to you. So when you bring forth fruit that is lasting, that outlasts you, when you work to bear fruit in your life And I think religion, man, but oh, religion, raw, has robbed people of this concept. One, because a lot of times in the past, not all of them but many of them, of the old progenitors and preachers, they just kind of surface preach and really did not study. They wouldn't read the whole text. They'll take a part they like and preach it. And you know, the anointing was on it, but at the end of the day, a lot of times so many things were missed. And I want you to understand something: sometimes we could be praying and not seeing results because we're not bearing fruit. I mean, when the last time you witnessed to somebody who is not saved and bear fruit? That's a type of fruit. When you bring others into the kingdom. That's an ex— that's posterity. You're passing on what God has done for you to someone else. So really, I mean, I know you posted a post, okay, but when was the last time really you engaged someone and they actually got saved? You led them to Christ, you witnessed to them the goodness of God, and they came to Jesus? Or are you religiously engaged in the process? Okay, yeah, that's another message for another day. Let's pray. Father, we give you praise. We thank you for this word in John 15:16. And Father, even as your word has declared— Your word has declared it, God. That you have chosen us and we have not chosen you. And because you elected us, selected us, protected us, and you've given us a unique, authentic assignment, God, you've given us a unique, authentic plan to carry out, to move forward in. We thank you, God. That we will carry the burden of that assignment, and we will align ourselves in the ordination, the steps you've already ordered, the plan you've already executed in the heavens. And God, we're asking you this morning, superimpose that plan upon us and let your will be done in our life so we won't miss it to the left or to the right. But God, we'll be in tune with you. We We will do what you ask us to do, and through our obedience, we will go and we will bring forth fruit. We will turn many to righteousness through the light that flows out of us. We, through the life we live, we will become magnets to others who are attracted to us, who will inquire about how we are so different in a world that's so messed up, and they will want to know what it means to be saved. And so, Father, we thank you that we'll bring forth fruit of power, fruit of the anointing, fruit of faith, fruit of prosperity, so people can see your hand on our life. And we give you praise and glory for it now. And we thank you that as our fruit comes forth and as our fruit remains, God, we decree and declare, God, that whatever we ask you, you will perform it according to your word. God, hear our prayer today and help us to be people who bear fruit in the name of Jesus. And Father, we declare you have chosen, you have appointed us, glory to God, to go and bear fruit. And we declare that fruit will last. And Father, even as we speak your word today, your word declares we shall decree a thing and it shall be established. In the mighty name of Jesus, we receive it now. We receive it now. In Jesus' name. Glory to God. In Jesus' name. Father, you're the gardener. Thank you, God. Hallelujah. You prune every branch that bears fruit so it will be even more fruitful. God, we thank you. In Jesus' name. Glory to God. Why don't you give God praise? Hallelujah, hallelujah. Angels hearken to the voice of the word. So when we pray the word, not make noise— glory to God— but when we pray the word, angels hearken, which are ministering spirits designed to help us bring to pass the promises of God in our life. Not yelling and screaming all the time. And sometimes that emotion comes up, it does. But at the end of the day, we want to always make sure that we're grounded in the word when we're praying. Glory to God. We bless you, we bless you. Galatians, here we go. Galatians 2:20. Galatians 2:20. Ah, my God, I love Jesus, man. He's so good, he's so good. Galatians 2:20. Ah, glory to God. Glory to God. We're praying the word and we're praying this morning to bear fruit. Glory to God. The apostle speaks to the people in Galatia and he says these words in Galatians 2:20. He says, I am crucified, le damai yoshu rakata nahaya, with Christ. Nevertheless, I live. Powerful statement. So when I come to God, My main purpose is to crucify me so his will can be manifested in my life. Paul makes a profound statement. He said, I'm crucified with Christ. So when you receive a death as penitence for your sin and the blood is applied to your life, you also receive that crucifixion. So that means you don't get to just continue to resurrect those things that he died for. You give those things up, you put them to death. And Paul says, even though I'm dead in these areas that do not please him, these sins— because he died for sin— so with the crucifixion of sin in my life, I still have a balance where I can live because I'm to survive with him. Oh my God, that— this is not a license to continue in that. It's a command, literally, to put to death the things that he died for. So in other words, when you really receive again the blood to your life, the crucifixion to your life of Jesus Christ, those old things He said it to the Corinthians: if any man be in Christ crucified with him, he's a new creation. All things are passed away, it's dead, and all things have become new. Here's the flip side: nevertheless I live. So you really, you're not missing nothing to give up those old systems, those old structures, those old social behaviors. All sin, all right, that doesn't align with the way of God. He says, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. I love this. He says, and the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. Oh my God. This is so powerful. He's saying here, I give up any desire to live on my own, and I allow the Christ that is in me for real to live through me, to live through me, to live through me. My God, today, my God, today. Oh, good God. Listen, you gotta decide in your sanctified soul that you're gonna allow Christ to live through you. He said, the life I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God. You don't live it through you, you live it by his faith in you to keep your heart beating. So you can finish his course, so you could do his will and operate in his purpose. Oh, this is so good, man. My God, because so many people live through the flesh, and there's so many tools available to you to operate in your flesh. And I'm not just talking about living in sin, but I'm just talking about being dwelled right here, being, being pulled to dwell in carnality. Because you're being pulled by— oh, here it is again— an old system, an old structure. And it ain't necessarily got to be the big sis, but you're pulled into old structures, old systems that have proven not to work. But now you got to live by faith, and you got to trust the faith of the Son of God, and you got to put your trust and your faith in him, knowing that He can't lie, and what he said he's going to bring to pass because he gave himself for it. So this is how we bring forth fruit. It starts with faith. So this is what I want to pray right here. One, that we live through Christ and that we walk by faith and not by sight, that we trust his word above all and we trust the integrity of what his word says and we walk His word out by faith and not by sight. My God. So let's pray. Father, I give you praise, I give you glory. Your word declares we walk by faith and not by sight. And so, Father, I thank you for the people under the sound of my voice and even myself. God, we decree and declare that we live through you in all things, and we don't give any opportunity opportunity for the flesh. We don't give any opportunity. Oh my, see, I know. Yeah, God, for systems and structures from our past to be the controlling factors in our life, but we put our whole trust in you. And Father, we thank you, we thank you. We put aside that carnal thinking those carnal behaviors, those carnal activities where we prioritize things above you, and we walk by faith. God, I decree and declare that every person under the sound of my voice is a faith walker, is moving based on what they cannot see and based on what the word said is true. Father, I give you glory for it. We detach ourselves from every structure, every threat, every system, every obstacle, every odd that is against us. And we lean into your word and we make a choice this morning to walk by faith. Oh my God, oh, may your power— May your power be released on this live this morning, and may the faith of God fill every person. Rebama, oh, Rabbi, I'm on Kushi. May the faith of God fill us, because without faith it is impossible for us to even bring pleasure to you, to please you. My God, just shall live by faith. So Father, help us to live and walk our life out so we can bring forth fruit. It is impossible to bear fruit in the spirit without faith in God. So Father, we put our faith and our trust in you so we can bring forth fruit that remains. In the mighty name of Jesus, would you thank God for faith right there? Would you give God glory? For faith, for faith. Hallelujah. The Bible says faith come by hearing and hearing by the word. So even as we're reading the word and praying word, your faith is being built up. The Bible said build yourself up in your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost. That's why you need the Holy Ghost. That's why you need a prayer language and you need to pray in the spirit often. Often. Glory to God. We bless your name, God. We honor your great name. All right, we're gonna keep going. Philippians 1:11. Glory. Oh my, I feel Jesus, y'all. I feel it, I feel it. Philippians 1 and verse number 11. Praise God. Hallelujah. Here we go. So again, we're praying this morning to bear fruit, right? So Ephesians 1:11 saying, being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ unto the glory and praise of God. So, and I hinted to this earlier, now we have scripture to undergird that statement. The seed bed for righteousness is already in you. The seed bed to bear righteous fruit is in you. And again, I'm not just talking about living right. That's a part of it. But be— I mean, listen, if you love God, you ought to keep his commandments. The Bible said, if you love me, you'll keep my commandments. So that's basic. But I'm talking about bearing fruit, that the purpose, the plan, again, the ordination of God is coming out of your life in a way that is attracting people to it, and that you have a boldness in you to share that fruit with others. It's almost like if you had a natural apple and it, it just, this big beautiful red apple, you know it's going to be good, you know it's going to be sweet. What you do instead of eating it, you yourself. You take that fruit and you give it to someone else so they can enjoy it. Listen, when you discover what's in you, that the righteousness here— this word is adiasine, and it means covenant. It means, in a broad sense, um, you're the state of who you ought to be, what's right, what's accurate. So we ought to be majoring every day to live under the auspices of what's right and what's accurate. And here's the reality: you're already epignosis filled with those fruits. Those seeds are already in you. Now you gotta manifest them, you gotta grow them, you gotta cultivate them in prayer, in study. Hear me, oh my God, you got to cultivate them in worship, you got to cultivate them in hearing the word So that you're— I'm not talking about something being yelled at you and you are not increasing. And think about hearing, man. Hearing by the word of God. Are we here? Oh God, we give you glory. Oh God, we give you glory. Oh God, we give you honor. My God, today. So he says, be filled with fruit of righteousness, which is by Jesus Christ unto the glory. So these fruit come out, and this is very important, so that— watch this, guys— Jesus can be glorified, so that God can be glorified, so that he can be honored through your life. So again, praise and worship and glory to God is not something that just happens happens in the church. It's something that moves beyond the church and happens on a very large scale, even outside of the church. So I like these fruit as they come out, they give glory to God. Hallelujah! Glory to God! So Father, we thank you. Let's pray that even as the Apostle Paul said in Philippians 4, that fruit may abound to our account. So Father, we thank you for this even now, that we are filled with the fruits of righteousness, that we're filled with the state to which we ought to be living in, which means we should be living in massive abundance, we should be living in healing, we should be living in power, we should be living in deliverance, We should be living in provision and breakthrough. And so, Father, these seeds are already in us. We should be living as witnesses to who you are, bringing many to you. So, Father, I pray in the name of Jesus, to your glory, to your honor, that you will cause us this morning to be very intentional and very deliberate to stir this seedbed, to water it, to cultivate it through prayer, through worship, through study, through time with you, through building up our faith. God, in the mighty name of Jesus, I declare it to be so. Thank you, God. And I say it is so, in Jesus' name. Amen. We're praying the word. Remember, angels hearken to the voice of the word. So when we speak the word, angels hearken They obey, they surrender, and they come and begin to work that word in our life. Angels are our prayer assistants. So this is why we use this structure. We use the word and we pray the word so angels can engage. So, aya, so angels can get involved. Glory be to Jesus. We bless you, God. We bless you, Lord. Go to Matthew 13 and 23. Yes, Lord, we thank you. Matthew 13:23. Stay with me, Zion. Hallelujah. Stay with me, stay with me. God hears us when we pray. Glory to the name of God. We ask anything according to his will, the Bible says he will do it. So we're asking according to his word. Hallelujah. And we believe that he will do it. Matthew 13:23. Let's get it. Here's what the Bible says. We thank you, Lord. But he that receives seed Listen, into good ground. Wait a minute. Is he that heareth— oh my God, is he that heareth the word. Oh, so the more I hear the word and receive— hallelujah— this is when these seeds for me to bear fruit is being sown. When I hear the word, that's why you got to hear good teaching, you got to hear good preaching. And I'm not just talking about preaching that entertains you and make you feel good. You got to hear truth, glory to God, that will set you free. My God, here we go, here we go. He says, and watch this, he that received seed into good ground— so you're the ground, you're the good ground, all right— is he that heareth the word and understands it, which also, watch this, beareth fruit and bringeth forth some a hundredfold, some 60, and some 30. So watch this, you're the good ground, all right? And when the word is being taught, the word is being prayed, that thing is being sowed into your spirit. And you are the very proof— watch this— that the word is real. Because now when you get an understanding of it, because he says you hear the word and understand it hear me, understanding here this word in the text, sis-yemi-i. This word means to bring it together, to put it in motion. The word in this aor sense has a violence to it, to be very aggressive in taking what you hear and applying it. How many times have you heard a word and you really, you heard it and it was maybe good to you, but you never really aggressively applied what you heard. You still left and leaned into a system and a structure that was not a kingdom system or structure. My God, my God, my God, my God. So listen, Revelation without application is constipation. Y'all heard me say it a million times. So you receive it and understand it. Now, understanding means it's not that you— yeah, I know what that means, and yeah, uh, no, that's not what understanding is. Understanding deals with— you stand, you stand under what you've received and you aggressively allow it to be a guide That changes your life. And the Bible said when you do that, when you do that, you bear fruit. You bear fruit of what you understand. Now it's not only a word you heard, it's a word manifested as fruit that others can see. In your life, my God, and partake of and want to bear their own fruit because they see you bearing fruit. And the Bible says some people will bring forth 100-fold. Yeah, some 60, some 30, because 100-fold is the highest. That's where I stay. I'm, I'm always trying to manifest what I know what I receive from God 100-fold. I want to see this thing work 10,000%. That's 100-fold, 1,000 times more than it is. I want to see it manifest and multiply. So you ought to not just listen haphazardly, you ought to listen to apply. Lord Jesus, help us. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for the seed of your good word, and we thank you We decree and declare this morning that we are good ground. We declare it, we are good ground in the name of Jesus. And Father, we thank you that as we receive the word on the good ground, the good soil of our heart, We decree and declare, God, that we will one, operate in understanding, that we will stand under that word. We will allow, in the name of Jesus, that word to be a guidepost, a navigator, and a leader in our life. It will be the priority. We won't follow old systems and structures and social behaviors and all religious spiritual patterns that are ineffective God, we will follow your word. We'll be doers and not hearers only because we understand it works. We understand it's real. We understand that your word is alive, it's active, it's sharper than any two-edged sword. So, Father, oh, yeah, God, help us, help us to not just be receivers of word that we never apply, God, that we will never bear fruit of because we don't take action. So Father, I thank you for action people that will bear fruit of what they hear or what they learn. Those live or by replay, those connected to us in our church, those connected to us as sons and daughters who are in Fivefold Ministry, those who are connected to us in the marketplace. I decree and declare, God, that the light and the fruit on my life will become a magnet for people to apply what they hear. Because that's all it is. It's not how intelligent I am, it's not what I know, who I know. It's the fact that I have learned to apply the word And Father, I thank you for it. Now I pray for every person under the sound of my voice that they will apply the word and cause it to come to pass. In the mighty name of Jesus. Yeah, we bless you, God. Come on, receive. Come on, receive. Glory to God. We bless him. Praise him for it. Praise him for it. We're moving. Praise him. Praise him. We're going to Philippians. Glory to God. We bless your name, God. We bless your name. We honor you. We magnify you. Philippians 4:17. Yeah, God, I thank you. Oh, I pray y'all— I pray you receive it. I pray you have a heart to bear fruit. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Because his word is challenging us this morning. Morning. Glory to the name of God. Philippians 4:17. Glory to God. We bless you. The Bible says— the Apostle Paul is talking to the people at Philippi. He says, not because I desire you, but I desire that fruit that may— I desire fruit that may abound to your account. So the Apostle is saying, this should be the desire of every Apostle every leader, really, that they come to you not desiring a gift. The heart of a true leader is that fruit abounds to your account. It's important because, again, here we go again, the word fruit, karpos, here different than the other time, but it's kind of the same thing. It's posterity. It's a progenitor of good things. So he says, I desire that you be a progenitor, a producer of good things that others can partake of out of your account, out of your life. Oh God, watch this. The word— this is Powerful, man. The word account here, watch this, in the Greek is logos, logos, which is the logic, the word, the living voice of God that embodies how we live. So the logic of God is his living voice. The logos that embodies what we live by. So Paul is saying here, listen, I want fruit to come out of your life that embodies how you live. So that means when you live daily— here we go again— your life should look like the word. When people look at you, they should see the word at work in your life. They should see God's healing power. They should see God's joy. They should see his prosperity. They should see the love of God. They should see the favor of God operating out of your life, because you, you have a heavenly account. And when you receive the voice of the word— there it is again— when you receive the logos into your life, the living voice of God, and allow him to speak constantly, fruit can abound to your account. But here's the key again, and we're gonna pray. You gotta have leadership, right, that wants to see fruit abound to your account. We have leaders who all they want is for them, and it— and you see this a lot A lot of times you'll see a leader expanding and growing and the people are not expanding and growing in the things of God. Uh, I spent about an hour and 10 minutes with the leaders of our church last night. We opened up a 1-year training which had the first class last night for leader— on leadership for the leaders of our church and We talked about getting to the pinnacle of leadership, where you lead in a way that outlasts you, where you multiply and duplicate yourself in others. And so here's the key: you gotta have leadership around you that desires to teach you how to do what you do well and help you get all the way to the pinnacle of your life so that fruit is abounding to your account. If you have leadership around you that only wants you to pay a monthly fee for coaching and mentoring, and you, you, you go to church, you paying your tithes, you give your offering, but you really not growing, you're really not expanding, because there's no pour from the leader that's helping your account get fatter. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I'm not just talking about your bank account, but that's a part of it me too. Leadership should influence you so that you grow in every area that aligns with the word, and finances is part of it. So let's pray. I want to pray for two things out of this verse. One, I want to pray for sound leadership. Glory to God. But especially for those of you not connected to our ministry, and I'm not saying that because I'm the leader, I'm saying that because I know Holy Spirit leads our church. I know God is control of our church. Glory to God. And guess what? The reality is I'm subject to him, so I know I'm gonna follow him and I'm gonna make sure— and this has just been how I've been all my life— I want to make people better. That's part of who I am now. But if you're here and you're not, and no matter where you are in the world, because this has been streamed, all anybody in the world can watch this if they click on it now. I want to pray that leadership enters your life that has a heart for you, that wants to see you better, that wants to see you grow, that wants to see you increase, that will handle you with care and value, that will multiply themselves in you so you can do greater even than them. Secondly, I want to pray that fruit will abound to your account. Glory to God, that you will receive the living logos, your account, the living word. So you got an account, you got a word that's spoken over your life, of an account. Now, you— the way you bear fruit, you make withdrawals from that account. So I want to pray this morning that you are able to make withdrawals from what God has already spoken about you and your life. Let's pray. Father, I give you praise. I thank you for this word in Bolivian. God, I pray first of all for sound leadership in the life of your people. Send us leaders, God, coaches and mentors and pastors and apostles and prophets, gifts into our life that will cultivate who we are, that will have a desire for fruit to abound in our account, that they'll have a desire to see the living word that you've spoken for us that embodies who we are, that the leaders that come into our life will desire to see that word come to pass. And Father, I pray that you just continue to equip me as an apostle who can— who you've given apostles the ability to hear prophecy and then release strategy to people for them to bring it to pass. I pray that you continue to stir the tools and the gifts in me to help people bring the word over their life to pass, to give them the strategy, to give them the way to bring what they're dreaming about, what they're visioning, to pass in the name of Jesus, that fruit may abound to their account. My God. Hallelujah. And I echo over this people this morning and over everybody watching, it is not my desire to receive a gift. Oh, shabba, but my desire is that fruit may abound to your account. Glory to the name of God, in Jesus' name. Listen, I'm just going to tell you, some of you that are— oh yeah, I hear that. And we're going to move on. I hear that Holy Spirit. Some of you that continue to cling on to dead religion, dead leadership, leadership that doesn't empower you, and you're, you're clinging on to it because you're emotionally attached to it. You attached to it out of obligation. I heard the Lord said you better get out of there. You better let that go because there's no fruit abounding to your account because that leader doesn't recognize they need to stir that part of you. Most of them can't even see that, and they're just counting you as a number. And you're clinging, hoping they could tap into what's in you, stir it, bring it alive. But they don't because they're just counting you as a number. And the reality— whoosh— you'll get frustrated, you'll go stale. and you'll become complacent and satisfied just because of the emotional satisfaction you get. But I'm telling you this morning, there is more. We bless you, God. We bless you, God. We bless you, God. We're moving. Psalms 1 and verse 3. Ah, glory to God. I pray you're being blessed. I pray you've been blessed. Psalms 1 and 3. The Bible said, Psalm 1 and 3. You'll find this intelligence. We're praying the word. Remember, angels hearken to the voice of thy word. They commit to it and they bring it to pass. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We're praying the word. Praise Shabba. Psalm 1:3 says, and he shall feed like a tree. Thank you, God. Planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth fruit in his season, and his leaf shall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Yep. I don't know why people don't like to talk about prosperity and increase in church when it's all in the Bible. Glory God. But, but the Bible says here, and he shall be like a tree planted, right? A tree planted. Woo! So here's the first key. It's the first key to bear another, another important key, and is the first one in this verse to bear fruit, that he shall be like a tree planted. All right, shatao in Greek. In Hebrew, I'm sorry, which means you shall literally cement yourself, lock yourself in to never be moved. So when you sign up for this thing, you have to cement yourself in. I'm talking about the seed. You can't be wavering, to be Semen in here means you can't be moved, you're on lock. And he said you're gonna be like a tree by the rivers of water, because the tree that's planted by water, the roots grow deep because it's constantly being nourished by the moisture in the water in the rivers, and it brings fruit consistently in its season. You will never miss a season bearing fruit if you're planted in the right place. Let's— Holy Spirit leads me to do these prayers the same day I get ready to do them. So this morning when I got up These are the scriptures I received. Listen, I'm telling you, in this season of your life, God wants to bring forth consistent fruit. He wants your, your, your, ooh, your life to blossom like a beautiful tree so that people can see the hand of God on your life. Are y'all here? Oh my God, the Bible say your leaves won't ever even wither. In a season where everybody else is withering and giving up and losing faith and, oh my God, retreating and giving up hope, the scripture says here your leaf will not wither, it will not die. And whatsoever Whatever you do, it will prosper. Tisalach. Tisalach. That's the word in Hebrew for prosper. Tisalach. Which means whatever you do will advance. Whatever you do will make progress. Whatever you do will succeed. Whatever you do will be profitable. What an amazing testimony. To have that everything we do— are y'all here— prospers. And whatever we put our hands on, it expands and has good success. Woo! But you got to get planted. You got to get planted in his word. You got to be a tree of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he that he might be glorified. That's Isaiah. Isaiah says, we are trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. So you got to plant yourself in the word. You got to plant yourself in cultures where you're constantly hearing good teaching, hearing good word. Instead of scrolling timelines all the time trying to find fulfillment, you need to be planted somewhere where you can get what you need. I don't know how I ended up there. I'm telling you, I don't know who this is for, and you better make sure you're again, you're planted in the right place. Because guess what? When you do that, whatever you put your hands to, according to— I didn't write it— you plant in the word by the rivers of water. Hiya! Yeah, yeah, when you plant yourself in the Holy Ghost, glory to God. God, whatever you do, it prospers. I gotta go, I gotta go, my time's about gone. Good God, let's pray this. So Father, I pray for these trees of righteousness under the sound of my voice, the planting of the Lord, that you might be glorified. And Father, may we be planted in the word, may we be planted in the Holy Ghost. May we be planted, glory to God, in cultures where your word is being taught. And Father, we thank you that when we do this, the storms can come, the wind can blow, but our leaves, glory to God, will not wither. Glory to God, our leaves will never die. We'll be consistently, constantly bearing fruit in season, and we'll never lack because whatever we put our hands to will have good success. And I release the anointing of good success on our lives, God. And I declare we'll have good success in ministry. Every person of the sound of my voice will have good success in the marketplace. Every person under the sound of my voice will have good success in everything they put their hands to do. I decree they will be successful. I decree that they will have increase. I decree in the name of Jesus that we will prosper and bear great fruit in the name of the Lord Jesus. I decreed it, oh my Messiah, that the weapons of the enemy will not work because we're planted. Nothing the enemy throws will not uproot us because we are planted. In the name of Jesus, I declare it, God. I declare it. I say it is so. I say it is so. We bless you, God. We bless you, God. We bless you, God. Go to Galatians 5:22. Hallelujah. Through 24. Y'all know this one. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We give you praise. We give you glory, God. Hallelujah. Lord, help us to bear fruit. Help us to bear fruit. Glory to God. Glory to God. Almost done, guys, we're out of here. Glory to God. God is moving right now, I'm telling you. Yes, receive. Glory to the name of God. 5:22 of Galatians, the Bible says, but the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, is temperance. Against such there is no law. So nothing can stop you from loving, having joy, having peace, operating in long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. There's nothing that— there's no law that makes this wrong. You can operate in these principles anywhere, in any setting. The fruit of the Spirit, these things should be manifest in your life daily. So again, why I love praying in the Spirit, speaking in tongues, as the Spirit counseled us, why I love great worship, great praise, a good church service, because I'm a church man. Glory to God grew up in the church. It doesn't matter how good those things are, how we excel in those areas, if we can't bear these fruits. I want you to notice something: tongues is not on this list. Worship not on this list, because these are things— these are worship in tongues and the things we do to touch God in prayer. You know, these things are tools that cause interaction from us with God. These fruits are for others to experience. To partake of. And this is why they're so— they are fruit of the Spirit. So when you love someone and allow God to love you, love them through you, they're encountering God through you. When you operate in joy in a culture where everybody is sad and depressed and health issues. But when you can operate in the joy of the Lord, hear me, it's fruit showing people, the spirit that shows people there's another way. Y'all get it? So we need these things manifesting in our life daily, consistently, effectively. Let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the through the Spirit. Matter of fact, we thank you for your Spirit. We thank you, Holy Ghost, for dwelling in us, living in us. We acknowledge you, you are our God with us. So Father, we thank you for giving us the gift of the Holy Ghost. And in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I give you praise, Father. Thank you that God is in us. Thank you. You are with us. And so let your fruit of love, joy, peace, faith, meekness, temperance, joy, long-suffering— God, let these fruit flow out of our life. And as they do, let others see, hallelujah, how good you are. For you said in Matthew 11, will either make the tree good or make the tree bad, for the tree is known by the fruit it bears. So Father, I pray that we will bear good fruit of the Spirit, and people will encounter these— your love, they'll encounter your joy, your faith, your meekness through us, your long-suffering through us, your goodness through us, your temperance, your self-control. While everybody else is out of control, we'll be in control and will live according to your will. May the fruit of the Spirit be made manifest in the lives of your people, in the name of Jesus. Woo! My God, today— my God, my God, my God— thank God for fruit. Hallelujah! That these things can And many of you who are filled with Holy Ghost, you already know that these things actually can manifest. I've seen love manifest through me to people my flesh wanted to hate. Oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing. Oh my God. Oh, and it overrode that hate so much so that it totally disappeared. Fear. There's no thought of hating them that ever comes to mind anymore. Now they got to talk because the fruit of the Spirit took control. Oh, Rabbi Hasaya, we bless you, Lord. We honor you. We give you praise. We give you glory. We lift you up, Lord. We honor you. We honor you. John 12, last scripture. Well, no, Colossians 1. I want to go there. Colossians 1:9-10. Then we'll go to John 12. We're almost done. Stay with me. We're a little over our hour, but stay with me. Hallelujah, we give you praise. Ramadasa. Colossians 1:9. Listen to this. For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you. Watch this. And desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding. Verse 10: That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing— watch this— being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. So the Apostle Paul is saying to the Colossians, listen, apostolically, as again, here's leadership, his apostolic leadership, he says, now since the day we heard of you and what you're doing. He says, we don't cease to pray for you. So now watch this. You need leaders if you're going to be fruitful. You need leaders in your life that's going to pray for you. Are y'all with me? Okay, you need leaders in your life that's going to pray for you. Listen, if you pray for you and with you and be concerned about you. And watch this, we do not see— pray for you, and we desire that you might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and understanding. So your leaders should be praying for you to be filled with the knowledge of his will so that you can take introspective and be clear about his plan, his desire his way for your life. Ah God, and that you have spiritual understanding. Yeah, we talked about it already. Here's, here's a big one: that you might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing. You know, some things are not worthy of the Lord, and it's not just, again, sin. It's just really sometimes leaning into systems that we've trusted in, and it's not worthy of the Lord because we walk by faith and not by sight. He says he wants you to be fruitful in every work and increasing in the knowledge of God. This is why we pray. This is why we believe God for you. I'm gonna go ahead and go to John so that when we pray this time, we'll be done. John 12. I pray y'all learning something. John 12. I pray that you sense breakthrough. I pray your faith is stirred. I pray that you're increasing. I pray that you're expanding on the inside. I pray that there's a fire burning in your belly to apply The word of God. We bless you, God. We bless you. We bless you. John 12:24. You'll find this intelligence. Verily, verily, or seriously, seriously, I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall to the ground and die, it abides alone. But if it die, it brings forth much fruit. This is what I want to say about this: you got to allow the crushings in your life to take place. See, in order for a corn to reap to be effective. It goes through a whole process in the threshing floor that is totally violent. It is beat until it is crushed, until it dies, until it, it opens up and can be sown again. See, you got to crush the things that are not like God. You got to allow— when crisis arrives, stop patting it. Let the crushing happen. When things challenge you, let the crushing happen. Hear it, because the Bible said if it die, you'll bring forth much fruit. I don't know why y'all be sleeping on the words Jesus used when he talk about abundance and much and prosper. It's in the Bible, man. You ought to want to see much fruit flowing into your life so that you can share that fruit and that abundance with others, whether it be naturally or spiritually. Let's pray. Father, we give you praise. We thank you for Colossians 1:19. We thank you for John 4:24, and we thank you, dear God, for Hashem. That the word bears fruit in our life. And we decree and declare, God, that you have filled us with wisdom and knowledge, God. And Father, we pray today that your desire and your purpose and your plan and your understanding will be made manifest in your people. I decree and declare today, according to this scripture, hallelujah, that your people will walk worthy of you, that they will dismantle, ah, and that we will renounce any system or any structure that doesn't align with your authentic plan or purpose for our life, in the mighty name of Jesus. Oh, Rabbi, and Father, we give you praise and we We thank you, God, that we'll be fruitful in every good work. And God, we'll be fruitful in the knowledge that pertains to you. And we thank you, God, that there's power in the resurrected seed. We thank you that as seeds of systems and structures and social behaviors that do not belong in our life die, we thank you that there will be a resurrected fruit that will bring transformation and change to every person around us, and we declare that now. Yes, God, I hear you. In the name of Jesus, amen. Why don't you give God a moment of worship? Glory to God. Give God a moment of praise. We're done. I want you to bless the Lord today. Come on, hallelujah. We give him praise. Come on, just a few moments. I'm I want you to worship him for fruit. I'm telling you, just praise him for the fruit that's coming. Just give him glory for the fruit that's coming. Glory to God. Give him glory for what he's about to do in your life. If you're on your live or by replay, drop some hands in the comments and begin to worship God, because I'm telling you, fruit is coming. Fruit is coming. The resurrected seeds is about to come up again. You gotta allow the crushing. Allow the breaking so God can get the glory of God today out of your life. I love you guys, man. I appreciate you for joining us this morning at 5 AM. Glory to God. No pressure. If you desire to sow seed into this ministry, use our Cash App at Radah Church, R-A-D-A-H C-H-U-R-C-H.
