7 FOLD POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT | DR MIKE WOODS SR. | 7-10-2022

Well, praise the Lord, and grace and peace be multiplied to you all today. From our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is Apostle Mike Woods, for those of you who are uninitiated, and welcome to Sunday. Listen, I'm super excited as always to have an opportunity to teach the word of God to you. Listen, I'm not going to prolong the time. I got so much I want to share. I'm going to jump right into— praise God— the heart of this because I believe God has something to say to us, and it's going to be a tremendous blessing to every ear that hears. Listen, I need you guys to do me a kind favor and go ahead and share this. Listen, share this experience. It's going to be absolutely phenomenal today. I'm super excited about the month of July. In a few days, I will turn 53 years old on July 22nd. And listen, we're doing something a whole lot different this year during this month. I just decided I going to take a hiatus and just really, uh, gather my thoughts, spend some time with God, travel, play golf, enjoy my family. So for the month of July, we will have no in-person services. Listen to me very closely. No, we had one last week, and that will be the only one for this month. We will resume in person on August 12th. I got a lot of traveling. I'll be on the road a couple of times for ministry, uh, for 2 whole weeks. Basically, I'm gonna be out for my wedding anniversary and for my birthday, just traveling. So at the end of the day, we're just going to take a break, but we will be here live virtually, uh, every single Sunday, every Thursday, and then quite possibly on a daily basis as the Lord will lead us to share on different subjects. So just make sure you tune in, lock in, share these things. This message that I'm teaching on the Holy Spirit is going to be absolutely, uh, revolutionary and life-changing. Okay, so I really I really want you guys to plug into this. Get out your pen and paper. I promise you, a lot of things I'm going to share, uh, even those of you who have the Holy Ghost, you have not heard this stuff before. This is— these are things that have come to me through my studies, and I really want you to grab it so you can envelop and matriculate in your relationship with the Holy Ghost. So a pleasant good morning again to everyone. God bless YouTube. So glad that you're here. I'm here in Jackson, Mississippi this morning. Again, like I said, I'm going to be all over the place this month, but I'm super excited to be able to share this word. So please guys, do me the kind favor and share this. I'm gonna pray and we're gonna jump right into this. And again, today we're talking about the Sevenfold Power. Of the Holy Ghost. Glory to God, the sevenfold power of the Holy Spirit. So we're going to pray. Glory to the name of God. And, um, we're going to trust God. He's going to come in, he's going to move. And every person that taps into this live stream today, I promise you, they are going to be blessed. They're going to receive from God. So let's pray. Father, in Jesus' mighty name, Hallelujah! We thank you for another opportunity to teach your word. And first of all, God, I pray for the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost to minister through me, God. And I pray to God that the word that we will speak today will be spirit and that they will be life. I pray thirdly for the spirit of wisdom. I pray that as wisdom from the Holy Ghost is released Glory to the name of God, it will be received. I pray, God, that you will not only give us wisdom, but number 4, I pray that you will give us the ability to apply— glory to the name of the Lord— the wisdom we receive. So give us the spirit of application, God. So as revelation knowledge comes forth, we thank you for hakma, the ability, the wisdom in the Holy Ghost to apply what we hear, and we praise you for it now. And we thank you, God, that this word, this revelation, will superimpose itself upon all that hears. And we praise you in advance, God, for what you're about to do. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Hallelujah. Welcome everybody, so glad you're here again today. We're talking about The Sevenfold Power of the Holy Spirit. And I promise you, today you're gonna be blessed. Do me a favor, guys, I need you to share this, whether you're watching YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, wherever you're watching. I need you to share this right now because this message is going to be revolutionary. It's going to be life-changing. Glory to God. So let's jump right into this. I got a lot of stuff to cover, so I want to jump right into it today. No hype, no fanfare. We're gonna drop the word of the Lord like it's hot, and I promise you, if you, if you tap in today, you're going to be blessed. Praise the name of God. So what I want to do, glory to God, is I want to jump into this, and I want to start by saying again, as we're teaching this message on the Dwelling Place— this is the series, The Dwelling Place, who lives in you— I want to say this, that when you receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost, God literally— hear me— moves into your life with all of his power all of his resources. Watch this, all of his essence, all of his character, his entire personality moves in. Now it's according to how we align our lives in the spirit— watch this— in discipline, in doing the things that we should be doing as believers, that we open up our life to greater realms hear me, a manifestation of what he has moved in with. Some people are very limited in what they experience in God because they do not really understand that the Holy Spirit really lives in them for real. Now, whether you're on YouTube or Facebook or Twitter, wherever you're watching, those previous teachings in this series are on my timeline somewhere. I would suggest, with all the stuff that's going on in the world now, all the stuff that's going on in religion and even in Christianity, that you watch those messages and that you really ensure that you have received the Holy Ghost since you believed, and that you learn the principles on how to interact with this imminent God. That chooses— hear me— to live on the inside of us. So let's start today. I want to say this, uh, first of all, then I'm just reviewing a little of what we've shared, then we'll get into these Sevenfold Powers of the Holy Ghost. All right, so first off, I want to share with you that the Holy Spirit is the most important person on the planet. I'll say that again. The Holy Spirit is the most important person on the planet. He is more important than Joe Biden. He is more important than Barack Obama. He is more important— hear me, and notice I'm using the personal pronoun he because he is a person. The Holy Spirit is more important than Diddy. He's more important than Jay-Z. Hear me, he's more important than T.D. Jakes. He's more important than Joel Osteen. Hallelujah! He's more important than Creflo Dollar. So that means, glory to God, you ought to be in relationship with the Holy Spirit so that the behaviors, or the pneumaticos, the pneumaticos, the pneumatics, the behaviors of God that flow out of your life are behaviors that flow out of a real, real, real— somebody ought to say real, type it in the comments— real. Whether you're watching live or by replay, I want you to type that: real relationship with God. Not based on what some popular person is saying, not based upon the trends of the world or the trends of the earth. Your pneumaticos, the pneumatics of your life, ought to be flowing out of your connectivity with the true— hear me— and living God. So stay with me today. The Holy Spirit is the most important person on the planet. And let's look at John. Let's look at that real quick. John 14:16, really quick. Glory to God. Because I want us to get a really close look at what the Bible says about this. The Bible says this, it says, and I will pray the Father— listen to me— and he shall give you another Comforter, that he— watch this— may abide with you forever. So wait a minute, Jesus says he's talking to disciples, he's getting ready to leave right? And he says, I'm going to— hear me— I'm going to pray to the Father, and he would— now, the Father, again, personal pronoun. He, the Father, is a person. He's just a supernatural divine deity who's the king of the world, but he is a he. He is a person. He's not a she. He's a he. He's a person. He's a human person who has masculine attributes Because I want to say that because you got a group out here now that's saying— hear me— that God— listen to me— is a woman. And that's ridiculous. God is— hear me— God is not a woman. He shall give you another. The Greek word for another is apo— parakletos in Greek. And it literally— hear me— it literally means Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. One sent to walk by your side, to lead. Watch, another comforter. So the word comfort, apo, another, Paracletus, comforter who leads. And watch this, makes life easy. He— oh my God, to comfort means to make it easy. So the Paraclete walks beside me and he makes the journey easy. Watch this, not just easy, but parakletos literally means also and accurate. So the Holy Spirit comes and makes the journey easy and accurate. Come on, church, I need, I need you to type that in the comments, whether you're live or by replay. I want somebody to see it, get this in the atmosphere: easy and accurate. Whenever your life becomes hard and unbearable It is a sign you are not allowing the Comforter, the Apo Parakletos, to lead and make life better. Watch this, he said he's there so he can abide with you forever. So when he moves in, this is an eternal move. He is never going to leave you. Even the Spirit of Truth— watch this— whom the world cannot receive. So he's also the Spirit of Truth. Now watch this. Wait a minute. People who operate in the world system— listen to me— cannot receive him. Oh my God. Because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him. So wait a minute, it didn't say people who are in sin, it said people who are in the world. So this means in order for me to have interaction— listen— with the Holy Ghost I must graduate from the systems of the world. Hear me, or the world's way of doing things, because otherwise I won't be able to receive this because it's supernatural. Oh, I will not be able to receive this. Listen to me, because it's divine. I will not be able to receive this because it's spiritual if I still live under the auspices and guidance and instruction and influence of the systems of the world. It didn't say sinners. Of course sinners are in the world, but this is deeper than that because you could be in the church— uh-oh— and still be worldly. You could be in the church. Wait a minute. Glory to God! I need you to grab this, guys. I need you to grab it. So again, The Holy Spirit is a person. He— hear me— he is not an it. He is not wind. Listen, listen, he is not fire. He's not gifts. He's not tongues. He, listen, is a real person. And he wants to dwell in you. He's not fruit. All of these things are manifestations of who he is, but he's not those things. He's a person. Those are part of the essence of his personality, okay? He is God in us, and he is God with us. And you cannot move in dominion— and that's what this whole thing about Rada that we teach, that preach. Our whole life and ministry is based in the idea of dominion. That's the original mandate for mankind. God hasn't changed his mind. We cannot rule, we cannot dominate without the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the advocate— hear me, listen— it's the advocate and governor of the earth. The Holy Spirit is in the earth to ensure that us earthlings— yes, carry out the will of God, the will of the kingdom in the earth effectively. Watch this, and accurately. I need you to grab this. It want us to carry out the will of God effectively and accurately. This is God's plan. This is God's desire. He wants this from us. Now I want you to grab this. There'll never be a duplication of heaven on earth without the presence of the Holy Spirit actually manifesting through the lives of kingdom citizens, you and I. Not just in us, not just in the church with shaking and quaking and jumping and shouting and speaking in tongues. Listen again. I am Pentecostal to my bone. I love to praise God. I love to worship. I love to speak in tongues. All of those things are a part of who I am, and they are real. But let me tell you something, it does not stop there. When the Holy Spirit is really on board, when the Holy Spirit is really in place, what happens? We begin to make a real impact in the earth. Hear me. A real impact in the earth that cannot be denied. So let's jump into this. So we can't move in dominion, we can't move in authority, we can't— the Holy Spirit again is the only guarantee that the effectiveness of the kingdom is being displayed. Watch this, in purpose through every kingdom citizen on earth. It's the only guarantee. I need somebody watching live or by replay just typing in the comments, glory to God, The Holy Spirit is the only guarantee that kingdom purpose is being manifested in the earth, period. And that's why we must allow him to work through us. Amen. Glory to God. All right, so let's get into this, man. Let's get into this. I want to I want you to go to Acts 1:8. Praise God. I want you to go to Acts 1:8. We're going to start right here. We're going to get into these sevenfold powers, or these— watch this— anytime something has a fold, it means it has seven parts. It means it has seven usages, seven dimensions. Uh, watch this, several opportunities for experience 7 levels. Um, at the end of the day, it just deals with 7 measures that can be interacted with, which means that these measures are matriculating. They're different in manifestation, they're different in essence. Watch this, they're even different in intelligence, which means they're different in how we interpret them. So watch this, the Bible says this, it says, but ye shall receive power. Now that word power here in Acts 1:8 is the word dunamis. Dunamis is inherent power. So this is the power you initially receive when you receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Now watch this. Dunamis is the substratum of the Sevenfold Measure, which means it's the foundation. You cannot enter into these sevenfold measures until you actually have received dunamis. Watch this. Inherent power. Dunamis is where we get words like dynamo. So we get words like dynamo. Listen, the reality here is a dynamo has the ability to gain strength as it picks up debris, as it picks up things that it destroys. A tornado, it gets bigger and bigger and stronger. And watch this, oftentimes will split itself and duplicate. So, and it'll change dimensions, change measures. So this power, the Sevenfold Powers I'm about to share with you, it is the duplications of dunamis. It's dunamis folded up and manifested. It. And when you receive the Holy Ghost, you actually tap into and receive this power. Again, not just to shout, not just to dance, not just to speak with tongues. You receive this power— hear me— to literally change your life and change the the world. He says, you shall receive power after— not before— the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Listen, has come upon you. So when you receive him, you receive power to manifest this upon your life. He comes in, and then when you are working with him in congruency with his anointing that's on your life, he comes upon you. You, and you're able to accomplish things. Watch this. Many a times in these different dimensions that I'm going to share with you today, it says, and you shall be witnesses— listen to this— unto me, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea. Lord, hear this. And listen, the uttermost parts of the earth. So witnesses, martus in Greek, which literally means you will be willing to die for me if necessary. So watch this, wait a minute. So let's, let's start with a physical death, which a martyr does a physical death. I believe every believer should be sold out to the point that if it ever became a place where it was between your life and what you stood for in God, you would actually live for God. And even if it would cost you everything, knowing that in faith He will protect you. That's a martyr, right? And even if he didn't, you understand, in your death you're going to be with him. Okay. Not saying if God— God is never going to tell you to strap a bomb to yourself and blow yourself up. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about living out the principles of the will of God. And if the state, the nation, anyone starts coming against those principles and tell us we're going to die, we're going to be locked up, we're going to be killed if we live for God. We continue to trust God and we keep living for God. Are y'all hearing that? Are y'all hearing that? I mean, for real, we keep living for God. Reality, man. But he says we're doing in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and in all of the world. So this thing is designed to touch the entire Earth. To touch— listen, shemandi koshia— the entire world and to impact them with the ways of God. So again, the Bible said you shall receive power. So wait a minute, that power is— glory to God, let's, let's deal with it, let's deal with it— that power, hear me, it has the ability to fold into different measures, different dimensions. So I'm gonna give you the Sevenfold power of the Holy Spirit. So when dunamis comes, it can release 7 measures— listen— out of your life. So fold number 1 is what we call arché. Arché. Yes, God. Arché is a Greek word that describes divine power. Watch this. That can create something out of nothing. It's the root of the electrical term arc that defines a point of ignition for a natural power source. Now watch this. So arché is also where we get words like architect. Listen to me. All right. So architect literally designed something out of nothing. You tell an architect what you desire, what you want to build, they design it out of nothing. When the Holy Ghost comes into your life, it releases a creatorial power. Listen to me, for you to manifest the creatorial ability of God in your life. And this is why I said in the beginning, most believers who go to church who spend time going through religious activities have never in their life tapped into RK because they don't understand that because Holy Ghost lives in you, you can actually create— listen— like God creates. I want you to hear me good. You can actually create like God creates. I want you to understand something. Glory to the name of God. The Bible declares in John 1:1, and we can see this at work, praise God. Let's look at it. John 1:1, the Bible declares this: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So this is an indicator if the Holy Ghost is God in us, if he is God in us, then watch this. I can create because the Holy Spirit lives in me. I dare you type that in the comments. I am a creator because the Holy Spirit lives in me. So you have the creatorial power like God. Listen, and I've seen this at work in my life so many times. I have spoke, been broke as Job's turkey, spoke and money manifested. Hallelujah. Been sick, spoke and healing manifested. It. Spoke to dead stuff and it lived. I'm telling you, when the Holy Ghost really lives in you, you can create like God creates. You got to grab this because I don't want you to just be religious. I want you to have power for real. And many of you, that's where you're going to stay. You're going to be stuck all the days of your life because you're going to follow religion. You're going to seek after that which is popular. You're going to seek after that which is mundane and cold and dead. But can I tell you something? You got the power, the dimension of arche living in you. That's the ignition of creating something. Okay, let's keep it moving. Let's look at— glory to God— Genesis 1, verses 2 and 3. The Bible says, and the earth was without form, nothing. It was void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. Why was it without form? Why was it void? Why was darkness upon the face of the deep? I'm glad you asked. When you read Genesis 1, the first chapter, when God is creating, he's actually not just creating, he's actually recreating. Hear me, hear me. And he's recreating because Lucifer, who became Satan, fell from heaven in Ezekiel, which, which gives you to know clearly that the Bible is not in any real chronological order, right? The Bible is a book of intel— spiritual intelligence compiled in a way, glory to the name of God, to bring understanding. Watch this, of how God does things, and watch this, who God is. So I want you to get this today. The reality is the Earth was without form is because Satan is without form. The Bible said he comes as a roaring lion, he comes as an angel of light. He has no form. He is also void. He is empty. He has no place in the kingdom. He has no purpose. He's void. Glory to the name of God. Matter of fact, he is suffering in hell. He is not— oh my God— this, this being that has all the power that people give him. And he operates in total darkness. So this is why the earth was this way. And the Bible says, watch this, the Holy Ghost and the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Listen. And God said, let there be light, and there was light. Hear this, man. Oh my God. He said, let there be light And there was light. The Creator, hallelujah, spoke to nothing and made something. And that same Creator, oh my God, lives in us. Let's keep reading. Look at Hebrews 11:3. The Bible said, through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God. So your natural mind cannot perceive this. The intelligence that you have naturally cannot perceive this because this is a spiritual concept. Hear me, this is a spiritual concept, so your natural mind will not be able to grasp it. Glory to God. So we see in creation here that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things were— that are seen were not made of things which do appear. So the natural or resources that things are made of— watch this— are not literally the true essence they are made of. The things that we enjoy in the earth are actually created out of the word of God, God's voice, God's power when he speaks. And let me just interject this here: when you are a believer where God really dwells in you, and not just a religious churchgoer— hear me— when you really are a believer, I want you to grab this: you don't just pray until you feel good. You don't just pray until you cry. You don't just pray until you— your tongue sound real good, or you feel real good about what you're praying about. Actually, you pray through through to a voice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let me help you. Most believers have never— hear me— prayed through to a voice. Oh my God, oh my God. They pray through the good feelings, they pray through to confidence, they pray through to hope, they pray through to even faith. Which is great, but what God wants is for you to be able to pray through to a voice. Pray through to a voice because he's real. And, oh, glory to the name of God, because again, things which are seen are not made by things that it appears that it's made of. Oh my God, let's keep moving. We see archē also in incarnation. Let's look at Luke 1:35. Luke 1:35 says, and the angel answered, said unto her, the Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore also that holy thing shall be born of these shall be called the Son of God. So we understand that Mary right? Watch this. We, we learn about it every year at Christmas time, but this is called incarnation, which means she was supernaturally impregnated. We see— watch this— the creatorial power of God at work even in incarnation. So God's ability, he could create, and I've seen him do this. Glory to the name of God. He can give creative miracles in the body. Glory to the name of God. He could take a heart that's beat up and broken, and that the doctors have proclaimed that this heart, this cardiovascular system, will no longer function because this heart is bad. You're not gonna make it. God can, and I've seen his hand move. Glory to God. Take that old battered heart Glory to God. And he can rebuild a new heart in his creatorial power. That's how RK works. It causes creative miracles to come forth and come alive in his life. God knows I'm not going to get finished with this today, but listen, I, I gotta give you what the Lord has given me. Glory to the name of God. I, I'm— because I'm still on number 1. But we see the creatorial power of God at work in incarnation. So supernaturally, his word can interact with your body— watch this— and give you creative miracles. But you don't know how to lean on this or put this into play if you're not really in alignment and in tune with the Holy Ghost, the Holy Spirit. Hear me. That lives in you. I know I'm boring somebody. I'm boring you. I know I'm boring you. Glory to God. But at the end of the day, you got to become aligned with the Holy Ghost that lives inside of your life. You got to, because at the end of the day, if you do not come in congruency with him, you end up being just a religious dud who goes through the motions Watch this, and the world is not attracted to dead religion. So we got to have the Holy Spirit alive and well in our life where we can see the creatorial power of God at work, and we can really testify and talk about it. Let me tell you something. I remember a time, glory to the name of God, and when I first went full-time in ministry— this is a true story, glory to God— I, and this is— I'm just want to show you, okay? I know I'm not going to get finished with this. Man. Glory to God. I'm gonna have to take my time and just probably teach these all week. Glory to God. Listen, at the end of the day, I got you to— I need you to grab this. Let me, um, let me take the scripture down for a moment. I need you to grab this. The reality is this thing is real, right? So the creatorial power of God is so powerful. I remember a time, first one— I've been full-time in ministry 33 years this this year, right? And God has provided for me every step of the way. I've never charged honoraries to preach for people, none of that crap, you know. God has took care of me, uh, and he's still doing it today, you know. And I'm grateful to what he does. But let me show you RK, this first fold of power at work, right? So this, this power— glory to the name of God— is so amazing, so awesome. Um, again, I— and at this point in my life and ministry, I didn't even realize what was happening. It was later I discovered it was the creatorial power of the Holy Spirit at work in me. It was the power that I had to create because he's a creator. And it was my confession— watch this— that I make every day in prayer: I am a creator because the Holy Ghost lives in me. And it was that thing that gave me the ability to create me in a moment where I need— I have a lot of stories like this, but I'm gonna give you one because I only have time for one. But listen, I'll never forget, I needed money. I, I mean, I had just come back from doing a meeting, uh, in another part of Georgia. I had preached for 3 days, and I think my total offering for 3 days that they raised for me was like $220, and that's what they gave me. I took it and came home. And at the end of the day, I— here it is, I'm married, really basically newly married at that time, uh, needed to pay rent, did not have the money to pay rent, had $250, right? Uh, took the money out, started counting it. $250. I said, Lord, you know I needed to— need to pay this rent. Now my rent is $600, right? I counted again. Glory. The Holy Spirit says, count it again. I counted again in obedience. Watch this. I didn't get in despair. Glory to the name of God. I didn't lose faith. I count the money again. Guess what? It's $300. Oh, shabba, reema. Yes, God. Yes, God. The Holy Spirit says count it again. Glory to God. Count it again. It's $375. So at this point, I'm in tears. I'm crying. I'm rejoicing. Holy Spirit says count it again. I count it again. This time it's $500. Holy Ghost says, one more time, son, count it again. I count it again and it's $650. Not only did God get— and right, and the more I think about it now, I should have kept counting. I got so happy, glory to God, that I had the money to pay my rent. Hear me, glory to God, that I stopped counting. I had $50 extra to buy groceries. But I should have kept counting. I should have kept counting till I got to a million. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Because something was happening creatorily where heaven— yes sir, yes ma'am— was superimposing itself on my finances. Woo! Glory to God. And I got so many testimonies where he's done stuff like that for me before, but that's our K at work in prayer. Let's look at— let's look at it in Romans 8. Glory to God. Romans 8. Glory to God. In 26. Let's look at it. Romans 8:26. The Bible says— watch this. See, I'm going to show you how real that is. Likewise, this Romans 8:26. See, y'all just read the Bible, y'all go to church, but the Bible is a living book. It's alive. It's supposed to work for you. Listen, I'm not going to follow this book if it doesn't work. The only reason I follow it is because it works. The only reason I serve God is because he's real. Watch this, Romans 8:26. The Bible says, likewise, hear me, the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities, for we know not what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. So watch this, the Spirit helps— that's where I want to get first— our infirmities. Oh my God, that's why when I was counting that money, it was an infirmity. Back when I couldn't pay my rent, that was $600, but I had been in— watch this— the Bible said go in the vineyard and work, and what's right, he'll pay. So I went in the vineyard work, and what's right, he paid. So it, it went from $250 to $650 because I operated in a realm of faith that trusted the word enough that God would help. He would work miracles and assist in my infirmity. Infirmity is— there is not just sickness. Infirmity here, glory to God, his— oh man, it's weakness, it's inability, it's coming short. God says, I will help you in your infirmities, even when you don't know how to pray. Glory to God. You just obey. I didn't know what to pray, I just heard God. He said, keep counting the money, and the money multiplied. See, y'all read that Jesus— oh my God— took 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread, gave thanks God blessed it and it multiplied, but you won't believe God can multiply your shortage. Hallelujah! See, if you could believe— oh boy, if you could believe that scripture that says Jesus broke 2 fish and took 5 loaves of bread and he fed 5,000— he multiplied it, fed 5,000 people with 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread. Why can't you believe that he can multiply your shortage? I'm telling you, he did it for me, he will do it for you. Oh my God, I gotta go, y'all. Oh, my time is so gone. Oh my God, my time is gone. Because if I— let me just give you this, let me give you the second fold. I'm gonna give you, I'm gonna you 7 of these, and then the rest of the week we'll teach the other 5. Glory to the name of God. So I hope y'all got that. So arche, arche, let's go back to it so you can get it. Arche, glory to the name of God, is the Greek word that describes divine power that creates something out of nothing. Y'all got it? So let's go to this Phone number 2. Hear me, I love teaching the word of God, y'all. I do, I just do, I do. I'm sorry. Phone number 2 is exousia. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Glory to God! Thank you, Jesus, man. I'm happy. Glory to the name of of God. Thank you, God. You got to trust in God, man. Come on. Hallelujah. Listen, exousia. Let's look at this power. Let's look at this. Let's look at this power. Exousia. Glory to God. Y'all have heard this word before, but this is the second fold that's born out of— hear me, Lord. That's born out of dunamis. So when you receive the Holy Spirit, archē is there. You just got to manifest it. You got to tap into it. You got to build a relationship with the Holy Spirit where you can walk in it. And also, watch this, exousia is there. Exousia is another Greek word for power. Watch this, but it particularly denotes the ability to decide, to make a decision, to perform an action. Listen to me, without hindrance. Oh my God. Oh boy, y'all hear me? It— to make a decision that you're going to move in the authority of God. Exousia is authority. And when you understand that the authority of God is in you. Exousia is not active until you decide to use it. So you have to make a decision that you're going to perform an action, fulfill your dream, finish your vision. Glory to the name of God. Make your business successful, have a great marriage. Glory to God. Be a great parent. You decide, listen, to perform these actions without hindrance. Watch this. Exousia also is the right and influence to exercise the authority of the one who delegated the authority. So all authority is delegated authority. So when you receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit and dunamis came in, you have at your disposal the ability to exercise the authority that you have and not just walk around saying, I have the Holy Ghost, I have the Holy Ghost, I have the Holy Ghost, and speaking in tongues and never use the power that God gave you. Lord, help us. Oh boy, you got to use it. You, you've been influenced by the Heavenly Father. You've been given the Apo Parakletos. I read it in the beginning. You gotta help her. Use what's in you. Stop complaining about your life. Stop holding your head down saying what you can't do. Stop settling for where you are. Make a decision. I mean, you said you were a Christian. You said you were born again. You said you had the Holy Ghost. So now I'm challenging you, if you really have him, make a decision to operate in the exousia that's in you. Oh my God, decide to use the power. Ha! Glory to God. YouTube, Facebook, wherever you are, decide to use the power. Twitter, wherever you're watching, Instagram. Use the power. Hallelujah, hallelujah. It's just like this, watch this. A police officer wears a badge, right? That's a symbol of his authority. That's— oh boy, yeah, that's— that says he has authority. It says that the authority has been delegated to him. Watch this. The moment he was commissioned as a police officer, he received dunamis, inherent power. The badge gives him a right to exercise that authority. If you're stealing, if you murder someone, if you're speeding, the badge gives him the ability to enforce his authority. Wait a minute, so when you receive the Holy Ghost, you got dunamis now? You got the right though, through exousia, to use what's in you. Okay, let's look at it in scripture because y'all ain't with me. Glory to God. Okay, watch this. Mark 2, verses 9 and 10. I'm almost through. The Bible says this: Why reason ye these things in your heart, whether it is easier to say to the sick or the palsied, thy sins be forgiven, or to say arise? Take up thy bed and walk. But that ye may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sin, he said to the sick of the palsy. So listen, he said, why you— in other words, why are you sitting here doubting? And I gave you all this power. You, you can say that, many of you can speak it out of your mouth, but when you got to really trust God to be healed, when you got to really trust God, glory to God, for his power to work in your life. Some of you struggle big time right there, and you never seen it at work. You never, you never seen it happen. Oh boy, let's, let's look at another text. I got to keep moving because I'm almost done. Okay, okay, John 1:12. I got to go because I'm getting too excited. The Bible says, but as many as received him— wait a minute, all right, all right, let's stop right there. You must receive him. He is a person. You must receive the person of God into your life. I'm not talking about just getting born again, getting saved. I'm talking about receiving the Holy Ghost, allowing him to take up residence in you. It is a gift. The scripture says— and I'm closing— I'm closing. It says, as many as received him, he gave them power, he gave them exousia. Watch this, to become sons of God. Listen to me, if I am a son of God I have access to everything my Father has. His power, his anointing, his wealth, his ability. Oh boy, I tell you, touch yourself and say, I have the power, the right, the authority to be a son of God. Even to him that believes on his name. So You have the key. You got saved. But don't get so stuck in salvation where you go through this religious process and you never understand that you're really a son of God, that you really belong to God, and that— watch this— you really have authority, exousia. My God, working in you. Listen, I'm done, y'all. I'm done. I gotta go. They're gonna kick me out of the hotel. I've probably been way too loud, man. But I need to get this to you. I had to get this to you. You know, again, July is my birthday month. I'm gonna be on the road a lot this month, so we won't have any in-person services. This is how it's going to be, straight word. But listen to me, guys, I need you to get the Holy Ghost for real, man. The world needs you to get the Holy Ghost for real so we can be a righteous example of what heaven looks like, with the healing, with the power, with the prosperity, with everything that heaven comes with, with the standards, the character. We should be presenting it to the world. Can we pray? Father, in Jesus' name, I Thank you for this opportunity to minister to these, your people. I pray, dear God, that for those that have watched this, whether live or by replay, that they will receive the baptism in the Holy Ghost. And I decree and declare today that their life will never ever be the same again. I thank you that— that they will develop real relationship with you, and they will see your arché, your creatorial power, at work in their life. The exousia, the authority of God. They will decide to walk in the authority of God in their life. And I praise you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And thank God. God bless your hearts, man. I love Y'all so much. Thank you so much for watching us today. Look, do me a favor, share this. I'm trusting that thousands would receive this teaching as we continue this series, and particularly Christians who go to church and are stuck in religious processes, who have never really experienced the— I'm talking about even those tongue-talking Christians who say they got the Holy Ghost, who ain't never experienced the power of God for real. I mean, it ought to be a continuity of power that flows out of your life. I love y'all so much, man. Y'all are amazing. Listen, I need you to give today. The Bible says it's a more blessing to give than it is to receive. The ways to give to our church are on the on your screen. They're scrolling across right now. You give your Cash App at Rotherchurch. You can give online at rotherchurch.com/donate. Again, they're scrolling at the bottom of your screen. However you choose to give, get your seed in the ground and be a blessing to ministry. Listen, I love you guys. Y'all pray for me. Glory to God. Again, we're on the road this week. Hallelujah. But I'm thanking God in advance for what he's going to do. We're finishing up several things concerning two books. Amen. That we're just, we're just taking a hiatus this month in July. So y'all pray for us that as we come back to in-person meetings at our local church on Sunday, August 12th, that the power of God will meet us there and God would do a great thing. I love y'all, man. Once again, y'all be blessed. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. Peace.
