We just came to worship you.

You are way maker, way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness. My God, that is who you are. There's evidence that he lives, he still lives. You are Waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness, my God, that is who you are. Who wouldn't want to serve a God like that? He's a waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in the darkness, my God, That is who you are. Understand that God is light. He's the light that shines upon you in the darkness. When people can't understand your story, God does. God allows his light to shine so bright before you. People begin to see change. People begin to see things broken in your life because you surrendered your all to God. It's that easy. All you have to do is open your mouth on today. Shout out in praise! That our God, that is who you are. All he wants is your heart. All he wants is your soul. All he wants to do is outpour his love upon you. All he wants to do is to speak to you in this hour. My God, that is who you are. Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up on you. Hallelujah! Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up on you. We just declare that he's a way maker. We just declare that he's a miracle worker. We just declare that he's a promise keeper. We just declare that he's the light in the darkness. So why would you give up on God? Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up on you. Don't give up on God. 'Cause he won't give up on you. Don't give up on God. Yes, God. Yes, God. 'Cause he won't give up on you. You're watching today and you're saying, well, you don't understand my story. The Bible declares in Matthew 11:28 He said, cast your cares upon me, for I care for you. That is what the word declares. He said, take my yoke, take my yoke, for it's easy and my burden is light. Don't give up on God. What that means, you can't carry the world on your shoulders. It means you have to give it to God. He's the waymaker, he's the miracle worker. He's the promise keeper. Oh God, the light in the darkness. Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up. On you. Don't give up on God this week when affliction rises up against you, when trials and tribulations knock at your door. Don't give up on God. You got to wait till the finish line, 'cause he won't, he won't Give up on you. Last night as I was praying, Apostle Woods, this whole week has been a moment where I've been spending time with God, and I asked God Friday night, I said, well, Friday in the afternoon, I said, God, you know my job is against me. God, it seems like everything else, my so-called friends are against me. Oh God, I see you blessing everybody on this way. God, I see you blessing everybody on this way, but God, all I want It's just a closer walk with you. I say, God, all I want is for you to show yourself to me, oh God. All I want you to show yourself to me, oh God. Be evidence in my life, oh God. Allow me to touch somebody else's life, God, because I know that you're real. And all I want, God, is your presence, oh God, like you gave your disciples in the upper room, oh God. I know that you're the same God that was there, and you're the same God on today. So this morning when I woke up, I woke up with praises on my lips. And a lot of people aren't gonna understand. It's not meant for you to understand, it's for me to understand. And what happened was God woke me up and I said, he is alive, he has risen. I looked over at my husband and I said, baby, come here. I went and I used the bathroom and God happened to look down at my thigh and there was a handprint handprint on my thigh. The handprint was detailed so that it had a thickness to it. The nails were printed. The hand was big. I took a picture of it and I said, baby, do you see this? Do you see this? I took a picture and I shared it with some believers that believe God with me. And it started first with my husband and my kids. I said, you see what God would do? He would do the impossible. Yeah, I began to start pressing my fingers against my leg. I pressed my ring against my leg and I said, well, baby, it can't be that because even if I was to press my finger, my pinky is this way and the thumb is this way on my leg. It doesn't make sense. So I tried to fit my hand in with the imprinted description that was on my leg and my hand end up being smaller than the hand that was laid upon me. When I tell you the picture was so beautiful beautiful. I mean, God even had the nails carved out. The image was this way. This is exactly how it was, but it was facing this way to show me that I got my hands on you. I got my hands on you. So when I got up this morning, I wrote a prayer to God and I said, on this day— so my husband came running in the room and grabbed my hand. He said, let's thank God for his presence being in this house. I said, baby, let me take a moment and digest what just happened. Because see, you don't understand when you're young— I'm 33 years old, getting ready to turn 34— but when God shows himself before you, you want to spin around, you want to spin around, you want to spin around. Because God lets me know when I'm I'm closer than you think that I am. And when he placed his hands upon my legs, that lets me know that your hand is guiding my footsteps. That lets me know that your hand is healing anything that is not of you in my body. That means that I'm cleansed by the blood of Jesus, by the blood of Jesus. By the blood of Jesus. So don't give up on God in this season, 'cause he won't give up on you. People may look at you like you're crazy, but it's okay. Go ahead and put a praise on it, because what they can't see is that the enemy is defeated. The devil is a liar.

Hallelujah! Thank you, God. I thank you, God. I praise you, Lord.

Nobody else will praise you, God.

I will praise you. I just want to be close.

It's important to me to make it to the kingdom of God. Earth can't give me what God can give me. My soul belongs to the Lord. Yes, God. And I thank you, oh God. I honor you, oh God, for just this week alone. We know that this was Palm Sunday. We know that Jesus, he arose on this day. So what a great day for God to reveal his love, his presence. And then the good part is When I look back at my leg, it was gone. So God gave me just enough time to see the evidence of his print on my leg and to allow me to take a picture, to see that the picture of the print on my leg is now gone. That is what God will do. He will show up. He will give you proof. He will give you living proof to the name naysayers. He will give you living proof to the doubters. He will give you living proof to everybody else that speaks against him, just as they did back in the days. They didn't believe the disciples, but our God lives. He lives. He lives. Yes, God still lives. Yes, God. Don't give up on God, cause he won't Give up on you. He's able. Go ahead and worship him. Worship him. Hallelujah. Father, I thank you, oh God. Father, I worship you, oh God. Father, I worship you, oh God.

Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Don't give up on God. Cuz he won't give up on you. He's a way maker, miracle worker, promise keeper, light in my darkness. My God, that is who you are. That is who you are.

Yes, God.

Don't give up on God, 'cause he won't give up up on you. I thank you for this opportunity to be here, Pastor Woods, to allow me to have freedom to worship, to have freedom to praise God in the atmosphere that's been prayed over, that's allowed God's presence to reference, to make it easy for God to touch and to strengthen and to use me. So I honor God for you. Don't give up on God. 'Cause he won't give up on you. He saved— yes, God! Hallelujah!

Yes, God! Hallelujah! Come on, I need everybody to continue to worship him. Come on, just lift your voice and worship him. Feel this room with your voice. Those of you that are watching us online right now, right where you are, just lift your hands and begin to worship Jesus. Don't anybody can't worship. The Bible said them that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. So it's going to be impossible for you to really worship and tap in if you don't know God. You can't worship God if you don't know God. But the Bible does say that everything that have breath praise So if you got breath in your body, I just need you to open your mouth and begin to praise the Lord in this place. Come on, I need you to give him glory. I need you to honor his great name. He's a mighty God, and beside him there is no other. He's amazing, he's amazing, he's amazing. Hallelujah! The song said he was able. I don't know about you, but in my life I've seen his ability. I've seen what he's been able to perform for me. Does anybody here or watching us have a testimony to what God has done? I want you to take a few moments just to begin to worship him, just predicated on the fact of what he's been to you. Father, we thank you for being so good. We thank you for keeping us and bringing us. You've been better to us than we could ever be to ourselves. And we exalt you, we extol your great name, God.

We give you glory, God. We worship you. We worship you, Jesus. I tell you, worship. He's given you a seat at the table. Glory to God. He's positioned you for something in your future that you can't handle right now. When I just heard God say, I've accelerated the process, I've opened the window, I qualified you in the supernatural realm. And where they said no before, God said, get ready, I'm about to cause you to hear yes, yes, yes. I'm about— oh my God— to affirm and confirm what I told you before. You are about to handle it. You are about to see it. I tell you, open your mouth for what's coming. Your breakthrough is coming. Your deliverance is coming. All your healing is coming. Your breakthrough is coming. It is coming.

The blessing you've been waiting on is here. Thank you. It's here. It's here. Is here because Jesus is here. Because Jesus is here. I just heard him say, everything you need is here. Everything you need is here. You just got to pull it out of glory and worship. You got to get out of yourself and get past everything else that may be impeding you. And give God the glory.

And Father, as we enter your word today, send an anointing that destroys yokes. I pray for every person under the sound of my voice that this word will catapult us into consistent experiences. Thank you, Lord, that will bring us closer to the reality that you are more than real. And that every person that encounters us would encounter you. I pray for healing in our bodies today.

Our text today, just go to Luke's Gospel chapter 24, and I'm gonna read, praise God, verses number 6 and 7 in your hearing. Be healed, be healed, be healed, be healed. Ita la bahasa ye. Be healed, be healed. Be healed, be healed, healed, healed, healed. Healed in your heart, healed in your brokenness, healed from the pain of your past. Healed, healed, healed, healed, healed, healed. Hallelujah! Thank you, Lord. Well, matter of fact, go to 1 Corinthians 15 first, and then we're going to read Luke 24. And this will just be the foundation of where we're going today. Healed, healed, healed. Somebody's going to catch this. Healed in your mind, healed in your soul, healed in your heart. Be healed today. Thank you, Lord. Bring your son here. I just want to put my hands on him. Be healed. Whose report do we believe? We believe the report of the Lord. His report says we're healed, healed, healed, healed. God, we thank you for the healing, Jesus. We know what the doctor said, but we believe the report of the Lord. We believe the report of the Lord. Son, be healed, be healed, be healed, be healed in the name of Jesus. Be healed. Father, you said I can lay hands on the sick and they shall recover, so I'm thanking you now for the total healing of this young man. Devil, you a liar. We speak to his neurology system, and we command it to become subject to the word of God. Your word says with your stripes we are healed. So we rebuke autism, we rebuke learning disabilities, and we decree and declare right now, God, by your anointing, that you would destroy the yoke and that you would remove the burden. Oh, shiba toski, God, I know you can. I know you're able. By your power, God, touch him to heal. I dare somebody just point your hands at this young man and say, it is done in the name of Jesus. I dare you say, we renounce infirmity in Jesus' name. Said, we send you back to the pits of hell, and we decree and declare, with your stripes he is healed, he is whole. We trust you, God, that you cannot lie, and we thank you for changing the doctor's report in Jesus' name. I need a praise. To praise him for victory. We gonna see this thing through. Every time I see him, I'm gonna lay hands on him until he's whole. Son, be made whole! Be made whole in the name of Jesus. There's nothing impossible with God. With man, it may be impossible. But with God, all things are possible. I've seen him heal cancer. I've seen him heal AIDS. I've seen him— I'm talking about cancer in stage 4. I'm telling you, there's nothing he can't do. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Jesus. I'm trying to move, y'all. I'm sorry. Luke 24. Well, no, I said 1 Corinthians, didn't I? 1 Corinthians 15:15. And what'd I say? 21. That's what I want. Hear this, the scripture says, for since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. Yes, come on. I did just touch yourself and say, through a man. This scripture directly points to the reality that resurrection must happen through humankind. It also points to the fact that there can be no resurrection without death. Glory to God. For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead also comes through a man. Luke 24, glory to God, verses 6 and 7. It says, remember how he told you while he was still with you in Galilee. Y'all make sure the mics are off. I don't know where that ring has come from. It may be me. Glory to God. He says, remember how he told you while he was still with you in Galilee? The Son of Man must be delivered over to the hands of sinners, be crucified on the third day, and on the third day be raised again. And if you just put them two verses together in the King James, it just simply says He's not here. He's risen as he said. I want to talk— and now those are very simple verses, but I'm gonna talk about something, and I'm really gonna serve a death blow to religion today, uh, because I hate religion just like Jesus did with a passion. But I want to talk about a resurrected kingdom. The only reason Jesus got up was for us to continue in the spirit of resurrection. Yes, the resurrection of Jesus Christ is probably the most refuted event in history. Nobody wants to validate the fact that Jesus actually got up. As a matter of fact, if the resurrection of Jesus is invalid, then it gives credence to every other doctrine, every other god, every other religion. It makes it applicable to life and how we do things. The reality is, if that was the case, We'd have a whole lot of confusion in the world for real. So to give it all context, Jesus had to separate himself from every other god. So he got up from the grave. Glory to God. Most religions and schools of thought, they deny Jesus. And his resurrection. They reduce him to a mere man. Yes. The Muslims call him just the prophet. Yes. The Buddhists say that he was just a wise teacher. The Hindus say that he was just an instructor. Yes. Oh my God. Those who follow Confucius say that he was just— oh my God, and this is just really low— that he was just a servant in the temple. And while Jesus was all of those things, he's yet still the living Christ. Yes, he is. So the reality here is the resurrection of Jesus Christ has to be proven. It has to be expressed through the believer. It's not enough for us to come in here and have good church. Are y'all hearing me? It's not enough, praise God, for us to simply go through the motions and not really express who Jesus is in the way we live. Amen. We ought to live a kingdom lifestyle that is so intense that the world can experience resurrection power, not just on Sunday, not just on what they call Easter. I don't use that term, that's a paganistic term. But this is the day we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, and I just don't think eggs and bunnies should be incorporated into Jesus being resurrected. I'm sorry, I know people say we just got to do something for the children. Well, do it for them at home, but don't equate that to Jesus because he has nothing to do with it. And if you understand the history, the historicity of it is this, is that the Roman Catholic Church decided they wanted to make Easter the Super Bowl, really, of religion and make it really colorful and festive. So they create these eggs, and then the pagans got a hold to it and they created a bunny who would bring magical gifts. And I think it's only a distraction to the real reason we celebrate this day. We celebrate this day to be reminded that we should be executing a lifestyle that proves to the world that Jesus is real. That's right. So what Michael was— is a resurrected kingdom. And why are we talking about it? Because we're kingdom citizens. And so everything our King did is to be superimposed into our life and how we live and in what we do so that the world can be drawn to him. So let's break it down. Let's get some working definitions here. So what does it mean What does it mean to have resurrection? I'm glad you asked. Resurrection is a coming back to life, which means you were dead and you lived again. Many people don't accept the resurrection of Jesus because they deem it impossible for one to die and come back. And the only reason they deem it impossible, because they have not had real experiences with him. It also is— watch this— a coming back into practice. So it's not just coming back to life and breathing again, but it's actually coming back and practicing who you were before you died. So the resurrection of Jesus should reflect who he was, what he did, the work he was doing in the earth before he died. Okay, I'm going somewhere with this. So if you, if you think about it, resurrection could be rebirth, it could be resuscitation, it could be revival, it could be restoration, it could be reanimation. Hear me, I'm going somewhere. It could be transformation. It should be transmortification, to be transferred from the dead back to life. There can be— and we read it already— no resurrection without death. So let me tell you something, let me just bring this out right here. The reason the church has not expressed resurrection in its fullness and the power that it has through resurrection is because most of the church is not dead. They never have died. They're doing church in the flesh. Oh boy, they're doing church through religious ritual. They're still looking for God. I always say I'm not a religious man. Religious people are still looking for God. I got him. I know him. Glory to the name of God. An angel can come and tell me, you know what, what you're doing is wrong and you need to stop that because ain't no God up there. I'm gonna tell you, you lying, angel, because I know him. I got a real relationship with him. I've had real encounters with him. What Laquita was talking about today when she was testifying, that was an encounter. I wasn't even surprised at things because those are the kind of things that should happen to people that's hungry for God. There can be no resurrection without death. The church has to die to its flesh, its carnality, its principles of doing business as usual. So many people preached and got Jesus up out the grave this morning, but they left the church and they still in the grave themselves. It's a dangerous piece, man. It's amazing to me that the birth, the life, the death, and the burial of Jesus is easily accepted. Yes, even though Jesus was divinely inseminated, people still celebrate Jesus's birth. They do that at Christmas time, and they accept the fact that Jesus was born. They even accept the fact in history that he lived. They even will accept the fact that he died on the cross. They will not embrace, however, that he got up. And not only will they not embrace that he got up— and we're going to deal with this later this month— they won't even embrace that he ascended. All right, all of those things are in— they're termed as the Passion of Christ. He came to this earth passionate about being born. He was in his mama's belly kicking, couldn't wait to get out because he was coming into the earth on assignment. He lived with a passion toward the cross. Jesus, not one day did not know that he would die. He knew that death was imminent. Here's what I don't understand: when we sign up to worship God and to be in God's army, why don't we think that we gotta die to some stuff? It's imminent. There's some stuff you gotta give up. You can't continue to live like you lived before if you want the fullness of God. That's right, because God is holy. Yes, he is. And most people are coming short in their life because they have not died to flesh.

Come on, come on, son.

I'm telling you, listen, we gotta get to resurrection. Yes, listen, the resurrection and ascension of Jesus are the two single things that separate him as Lord and King. Say that with me. Say, Jesus is Lord and King. I need you to believe that. Say it again. Say, Jesus is Lord and King. You got some fools running around here praying to their ancestors. Your ancestors are dead. They cannot hear you. They will not. I'll stand toe to toe with any Hebrew National, any Black Hebrew National, I don't care who they are. The reality is you, you're talking out your head, you're talking out of study and not relationship. I can throw my Bible away, I know God. Because guess what? If I didn't know him, I wouldn't be serving him. I'd be doing what I want to do. Yeah, but at the end of the day, I'm bought with a price. Because he's real. Oh God. So to be resurrected again, I want us to get this, is to be brought back to life. The church has a need to be brought back to life, to be revived, to be resuscitated. And when you, when you have that kind of agenda, it's not popular. No, it's not. Because people who build— most of the people in this hour who build massive things in the name of God, watch this, they do it pleasing the people that they're building with. They do it to be— oh my God— popular over being powerful. And I'm gonna choose power every day of the week, and I'm gonna say what God tells me to say. And guess what? Because that's— that's— I've seen it work. I grew up in power, and the church today doesn't have that. I grew up in the church where people get healed, they were hanging canes in and stuff on the wall showing the miracles because it was so powerful. Now the church could care less about a miracle. That's right. Listen, I'm— that's why I'm not afraid to pray for autism, to pray for cancer, to pray for problems that the doctors say can't be solved, because I've seen it work. Anybody else in here seen it work? And we ought to walk in that power daily. The church needs revival. Amen. The church needs to be resurrected, and we need to be continual in this resurrection. So, Michael Woods, what is a kingdom? I'm glad you asked. The kingdom is from the Greek word basileia, two words, kingdom, the king's domain. The kingdom is God's order and authority. So first of all, we— in order to experience this power that comes with resurrection, you've got to find yourself in order. And there's so many people that are out of order today, doing what they want to do, just out of order. No accountability, no loyalty to nothing. but God's authority and order and domain is what gives you access. Glory to the name of God. To his way of doing things. Here are 3 elements in every kingdom, and I'm not teaching about kingdom today, but I gotta lay this backdrop. One element is the king. You cannot have a kingdom without a king. Anybody go to talk about their king and ain't got no kingdom, you just need to look at them crazy because A king has a kingdom. And if you're in the king's kingdom, you understand that the king influences those who are in his domain. Whatever the king says— hear this— is law. If the king says it, it becomes law, and the citizens follow it. Oh boy, his personality, his morality, his power, his wealth, all of the glory of the King is translated to the citizens. That's how you can tell the difference of somebody that's in the kingdom and somebody's in the church. Oh boy, I, I don't ever want to just be in the church. I want to be a kingdom citizen. Son, because that means I got access to the king's law. In every kingdom also there is a domain. So we understand the king of this kingdom is Jesus Christ. Said Jesus is the king. I want y'all to grab this. Biden is not the king. Jesus is the king. Every kingdom too has a domain. A domain is the physical place where the king rules. In this case, it's Earth. Someone said, wait a minute now, now Jesus ain't the king of the earth. God ain't the king of the earth. Yes, he is. Let me take you to the word. Psalms 47 and verse 7. The Bible says, for God is the king of all the earth. Good God Almighty. It is a— some of the earth, it said he the king of all the earth. Here's what I know: earth was intended initially to be an extension of heaven. It was supposed to be a colony of heaven. God created earth so that it'll be a colony of heavenly things that happen The disconnect happened because of sin, and that's why God had to send a second Adam so that the colony could be restored. Now watch this, here's the command. When you realize that God is the King of the Earth, he says sing praises with understanding. So when I praise God, or am I worshiping God? I, I know sometimes I'm singing, I'm singing out of key and everything, I don't care. I'm singing to God because at the end of the day, I sing with an understanding that he's the king of the earth. I'm not trying to perform. Y'all not helping me here. I'm not trying to make you feel good. I'm singing to him because I understand he came. Glory to God. You sing with an understanding, with clarity, not just singing a song because it heightens us up. Oh boy, what makes us feel good, we see what I understand, and that he's worthy to be glorified. He's worthy to be praised because he's the King of the Earth. So every kingdom has a king, every kingdom has domain, every kingdom thirdly has citizens. You and I are the citizens of God's kingdom. Yes, here's what I know about citizens. God saves us so that as citizens he can rule— hear this— the seen world from the unseen world. Huh. You can't see God, but you can see the citizens. I'm going somewhere with this, I promise you. I'm laying a backdrop. Listen, the reality is God says, I want to rule the seen world from the unseen. But what I need is some citizens who will, oh my God, carry out my purpose, carry out my morality, carry out my agenda, carry out my glory so that my agenda can be realized. Wait a minute. You didn't choose God. God chooses the citizens. In a kingdom, the king chooses the citizens. In England, I have some friends that are from England and they have told me, I just got my citizenship, and they 38, because the king decides when you are officially a citizen. —yes, it's based on certain criteria because you have to share again in the king's glory. You don't just get to say I'm a citizen because you were born there, like the United States. In a monarchy, the king chooses the citizens. Listen, in the kingdom of God, God chooses us. Y'all don't believe it? The Bible says in John 15:16 You did not choose me. Yeah. Ah, but I chose you. Touch yourself and say, God chose me. Come on, say it again. Say, God chose me. Say it one more time. Say, God chose me. He said, I chose you and— watch this— appointed you. Wait a minute, appoint? A point? What's this? The root of the word appointment is a point. An appointment is a prearranged meeting. So God decides a point for your life, a future for your life, a point, a purpose for your life. He decides that in advance. He set up your appointment with Destiny in the Kingdom before you even got I'm not here. Oh, say, I have an appointment. Say, it came from God. He said, I appointed you. Watch this, the point, no matter what you're assigned to do, is for you to bring forth fruit. Ah, so God says, I make you a citizen so you can bring forth fruit. Oh, and fruit that will last. And whatsoever you ask in the Father's name, he will give it to you. Wait a minute. So God says if you be a good citizen and fulfill your appointment— watch this, wait a minute— not your self-appointment, because there's a whole lot of self-appointed people who ain't called to ministry, just appointed themselves. Cause they can holler a little bit, they can turn on the mic and scream, they feel like they can be a preacher. That's not necessarily your appointment just because you can do that. You gotta have instruction from God. He chose you. Oh, we can't choose what we do just because we're good at it. There's a lot of things I'm good at, but I can't do because it ain't my appointment. Because if I go and bear fruit in my appointment, God said nothing I ask him, he will not do. And you know what, I live— literally, this is my testimony— I live under the banner of that scripture because I choose to stay obedient no matter what it looks like. To what God has called me to do, and he blesses me with whatever I ask him for. See, you got to know where you've been appointed. You can't have a self-appointed spirit. Amen. Self— so many self-appointed prophets, self-appointed apostles, self-appointed teachers, evangelists, and pastors. You can't be blessed by God like that. When you appoint yourself, you got to keep blessing yourself. You got to keep making ways for yourself. So I'm gonna just stay with God and let him make the way. See, you can build your own steps and not be in the assignment, man. I'm telling you, I'm so concerned about this young man and I've been talking to the person I need to talk to about this young man. This young man is very gifted, but he needs to sit down somewhere because when I see his life, he's setting himself up for failure because sin is in his life. And so he's up preaching and prophesying and, and worshiping in church and praying and he living in sin. People calling him to preach, he writing books, having conferences. He needs to sit down until he figures out how to get his life in order and serve the King. I said, you just do it so much, and God— because, well, here's what I know about God. God will use you and then refuse you. Yeah, he will. Because he said there'll be many in that day that come and say, Lord, Lord, did not I prophesy in your name? Did not I cast out devils in your name? He gonna say, depart from me, I never knew you. Your work was of iniquity. Wait a minute, your work iniquity and great means it wasn't appointed, it's lawless. I didn't tell you to do it. I don't want to take that chance. Okay, so the resurrected kingdom then, if you put it all together, is the Ecclesia. The Ecclesia. If you don't know this word, I'm gonna give it to you today. E-K-K-L-E-S-S-I-A. The Greeks created this word. It's not a religious term, it's actually a governmental term, and it is translated actually as church, but it's not church as we know it. The ecclesia means called out ones who are appointed to govern, to carry out an assignment. On behalf of the one that called them. So it's not us gathering in a building. The ecclesia means that we were elected, selected, and protected to carry out an assignment from the Father. Lord have mercy. That he expects us to do well. And let me tell you something, the only way we're going to defeat religion is that we have to become the ecclesia for real. The only way we're going to express resurrection, and the only way we're going to advance the kingdom of God and show the world infallible proof, because that's what they need, especially in these days and times. 'Cause it's so much flaky stuff. The world don't have believe half of what people in church say, 'cause the people in church that's saying it don't believe it themselves. That's right. Okay, all right. So that means we gotta stop saying stuff that we're not qualified in and that we don't believe ourselves. Preachers were preaching because it sounds good. They'll preach about prosperity and broke as Job's turkey. How about apply it in your life and let it work for you, then preach it? Are y'all hearing this? We got to be the ecclesia. We got to be the called-out ones. God's governmental authority on earth to let the world see that the resurrection is real. They still refuted because there's not a visible people who are actually promoting the resurrection on a daily basis. You can't be promoting the resurrection when you at work complaining with the rest of the folk on the job. are y'all hearing this? You complaining and, and whatever they going through, you get in and go through it with them. There's something— ought to be something different about you if you are in a resurrected kingdom. So there's a few things, and I'm going— I don't get through these points and we're gonna be out of here. That was the introduction. I just need to lay that backdrop. So if you're gonna live in a resurrected kingdom, there's a few things you got to understand. The first thing, number one, and you might want to write this down, that the resurrection itself— hear this— was not just another historical event. If you're going to push this kingdom, you got to realize it wasn't just an event, but you really got to come to grips with the reality that the resurrection is actually a person. Yeah, the resurrection is not just Jesus getting out the grave. The resurrection is Jesus. John 11:25-26 says this: Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection. Wait a minute, not an event. Jesus states it right there. I'm the resurrection and the life. He that believes in me— so wait a minute, so if I'm a believer, that word believe, it is pastuo in Greek. It means that you're absolutely persuaded and confident in, which means that you will not miss it to the left nor right, and you cannot be deterred from what you believe. You're solid. So he said, them that are solid in me— watch this— he says, though they were dead. Uh-oh. I told you the church needs revival. The church needs to come alive. He said, but if we're solid in him and we believe that he is the resurrection, how is it you gonna tell me that you serve Jesus Who is the resurrection from the dead? And you dead as two left shoes. You ain't got no life in you. Y'all not talking here. You got people who say they love Jesus, but they dead cold. No, like, don't never laugh, don't never smile. Look, they look like they swallowed 16 lemons at one time. Listen, you ought to be alive. Life. If you know Jesus, when you walk in the room, something ought to happen because you walked in, because you're walking with resurrection life inside of you. I, I thank God that when I enter rooms, the atmosphere shifts. It's not me, it's God. I couldn't do it on my own. When I— I don't care where I'm in the business meeting. I was in Birmingham This past week I had a— I was on assignment, uh, with my media company, and I'm, I'm doing some media work for a former football player. And I went down to work with him, and he was getting an award, and there's a bunch of sinners. I walk in the room, whole room shifts. He's just in attention, everybody's coming up to me talking to me. But you know what I did? I used those moments to glorify God. I use those moments to talk about Jesus because you ought to be a walking expression of what you carry. You ought to be able to walk into situations that are against you and they shift and come alive because you're there. He's— Jesus said it, I didn't. He said, if you believe on me, though you were dead, you shall live. I tell you, shout, I shall live! If you're watching this online, type it on the screen, I shall live! He says, and whosoever liveth and believeth in me— uh-oh, I love this— it's perpetual. He said, you shall never die. In other words, death is off the table when I walk in the resurrection power. Death is off the table. Now let me show you how crazy I am. I believe this scripture so much that I pray— I'm— I'll be 53 this year, but I'll be asking God, give me 53 more years. And after I get those 53 on New Year's, give me 53 more, because you said I'll never die. And you may say, oh, he just told me I want to go to heaven. Well, I know that too, but I want to live here as long as hand so that I keep doing what I've been appointed to do. Are y'all hearing this? Say death's off the table.

Death's off the table.

Especially murder. Listen, if you die before your appointed time, that's murder. We need to stop saying at funerals, the Lord took him. The Lord ain't took everybody. He ain't took everybody. Oh, the Lord— the Lord took them away. It was daytime. No one— they were eating the wrong stuff. They wouldn't take care of their body. That was murder. You can murder yourself with food, by not exercising. Okay, yeah, you can murder yourself by stressing out too much and bringing disease in your body. God didn't do that, you did it. Death is off the table for those of us that walk in the resurrection. I dare you to say it again. Say, death's off the table. You need to embrace that, that you got a life to live in God, and because of the resurrection, you can just keep on living. And everybody you touch, you are— oh my God, they ought to be able to encounter that life that's in you. So again, that's point number 1. The resurrection was not just another historical historical event. It's a person. It's Jesus, and it's you and I. He says, I am the resurrection. And then in so many words, if you believe in me, you're also the resurrection. Ah, just touch yourself and say, I'm the resurrection. So it's going to require to walk here a paradigm shift in your mind. You can— you can't think religiously and expect this to work for you. When you operate in a resurrected mentality, nothing that happens draws you into death, because you realize that has already been defeated. You can show up at the doctor's office and they can say you got 6 months to live, and you can say, respectfully, Doc, you still practicing medicine. And the report I believe says, with his stripes I'm healed. That's the resurrected mentality. Everything that life throws at you, you don't go to the death end, you go to the resurrected side. Touch yourself and say, I'm the resurrected. Secondly, if you're gonna be a resurrected kingdom of citizens, second thing is— oh Lord, I love this one. I got up, I was in my office studying, I got up and started running after when the Lord gave me this point right here. Because let me tell you something, this is so real, Jimmy. The Lord said to me, he said, son, resurrected people who live in a resurrected kingdom, they understand that the resurrected kingdom operates outside of the fear of natural limitations. My God. And you— and that sounds simple, but the reality is, how many times have you placed limitations on yourself? Because of your bank account, because of your credit, because of your debt. And you say, I can't do that, I'm limited. Oh God, because of your skin color. But God said to tell you, when you live in a resurrected mentality, you live in the fear of a resurrected kingdom, there are no limits. Ah God, listen, you're not governed by natural law. You're governed by the kingdom law of resurrection. Yes, Lord. I got to get out of here. Touch yourself, say, I'm governed by kingdom law. Kingdom law says, glory to the name of God, when you're broke, kingdom law says, glory to the name of God, my God shall supply all my needs according to his riches. Not your riches, his riches. I have so many testimonies of supernatural supply. Let me just give you one real quick, one of my favorite ones. When I first got called into full-time ministry, I had a young wife. Michael Jr.'s mom had no business married really, because I wasn't ready to be married. Because a husband should be priest, provider, protector, and king of his house. I wasn't able to be none of that, but I was married because the church told me, you need a wife. You're a preacher, you travel around here, you need a wife. But so I got married, and we— she was young, I was young, we did the best we could. And I'm trying to build a ministry, and at one point in my ministry, guys, I traveled 15,000 miles a month, over a million miles a year flying. But I had to build it to that point. During this time, I wasn't traveling like that. I was sitting at home trying to find somewhere to preach, believing God by faith, praying, trusting God that he will open the door. And one day I got up and went in the kitchen, looked in the cupboard. I began to weep. Because we had no food. We had a couple of cans, opened the refrigerator, had some old leftover containers that had been in there a few weeks, and we're trying to figure it out. And the Lord said, son, I'm gonna bless you supernaturally today. He said, put your clothes on, go to the grocery store, I'm gonna feed you for the next 3 months. I said, Lord, I ain't got no money, I can't go to jail. So, but glory to God, he said, no, I ain't saying— I didn't say nothing. I said go to the store. And because I'm on this resurrected mentality and walking by faith, I get up, put my clothes on, move in obedience because my relationship with God is tight. I get up, go to the store. God says, get a buggy. I said, Lord, now I done told you I ain't got no money. He said, I ain't said nothing about money. Get— do what I'm telling you. I got the buggy. He said, go down every aisle and begin to fill it up. Get everything you need. I'm about to feed you for 3 months. I start putting stuff in that buggy, and I got on aisle 9. 9 is the number of spiritual things. Are y'all hearing this? 9 is the number of birthing. 9 gifts of the Spirit. 9 fruit of the Spirit. You carry a baby 9 months. I've got a loud 9, and the Lord said, praise me. Yes. I said, huh? He said, praise me. I said, thank you, Jesus. Lord, I love you. He said, I ain't say that. I said, praise me. So I started jumping. Hallelujah! Thank you, Jesus! Glory to God! Right in the store. Now mind you, my buggy at this time is about— the stuff is peeking over the top by now. You know how them people buggy look at the first of the month? Y'all going to the grocery store? Y'all ain't got to say nothing. Well, listen, I grew up and had to go to the grocery store sometime on the first of the month and buggy be up to here. Yeah, absolutely. My buggy was peeking toward the top by now, but I start praising. I'm going in, glory to God, thank you Jesus, hallelujah, on aisle 9. And then when I came down, I opened my eyes and looked around, and there was this little white lady peeking around the corner at me. So I stopped. Lord, I ain't tell you to stop praising me. He said, keep praising me. I kept going in. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. I'm crying by now. I don't— went all the way in. He said, keep shopping. I kept shopping. Now I get to the dairy aisle. I can't even see past the buggy, y'all. I got so much stuff. I— and I ain't even thought no more, boy, you ain't got no money. I'm shopping like my bank account is full. The little white lady comes over to me on the dairy aisle. Hear this, y'all. Those you watching, stay with me, don't scroll. She says, what was that you was doing over there on aisle 9? I said, ma'am, I was praising God. She said, you know you're in public, you look silly, and you should not do that. And the Lord said, prophesy to her. I said, Lord, this woman think— I'm saying to myself, I don't think I'm crazy, I ain't got nothing to say to her. He said, I said, prophesy to her. He said, just open your mouth, I'm gonna give you a word. I said, ma'am, can I pray for you? She said, what do you mean pray for me? And the Lord said, tell her her husband is at home eating a tuna fish sandwich. And I said, what? He said, just say what I said. I said, ma'am, I need to tell you something. The Lord told me to tell you that your husband is at home eating a tuna fish sandwich. She stepped back and said, sir, I knew you were crazy. She said, my husband is at home with his hospice nurse. Oh my God, he has tubes running in his nose, he has tubes running down his throat, he has not been able to consume solid food for 4 months. And I know something is wrong with you, and I'm calling the police. So the Lord said, tell her to call him. Well, back then you were either a drug dealer, a doctor, or a lawyer if you had a cell phone, because it was them phones that looked like bricks. She didn't have one. So the Lord said, tell her to call. She's— I said, the Lord told me to tell you to call your husband. Now you know it's God because this woman is cooperating. She goes, she said, yeah, I'm gonna go call him, and if he don't answer the phone or if he ain't eating or chewing his sandwich, you're going to jail for harassing me. She was serious about that, little white woman turning red. And I'm like, okay God, I'm trusting you. He said, just keep praising me, keep worshiping me. And I'm still praising God, so I rolled all that stuff up toward the 'Cause the pay phones were outside. Are y'all hearing this? She goes outside, puts her quarter in the phone, calls her house. I'm sitting there looking through the one there, still saying, thank you, Jesus, glory to God, I give you praise. 'Cause now I'm all the way in and I know God is up to something. And she Get someone on the phone, and the next thing I know, she's screaming and jumping around crying. She stays out there about 5 minutes having a conversation. She comes in and says, sir, who are you? She said, I called my house and my husband answered the phone.

And I asked him, what are you doing?

And he says, I'm sitting in the kitchen. He said, about 15 minutes ago when I was on aisle 9— y'all ain't talking— I had warmth go through my body. Good God from Zion, hallelujah! And I had this urge for a tuna fish sandwich. He said, I snatched the tubes out of my nose and out of my throat, and I went to the kitchen and I fixed me a tuna fish sandwich. She said, I don't know who you are, but my husband is better, and everything in your basket, I'm going to pay for it. Y'all ain't got to help me here, because that's what happens when you move in the realm of the supernatural. Ah, God, that's how resurrected people live. Ah, God, let me tell you something, you never know what God is doing. That's why it pays to obey him. It pays to trust him. It pays. That's why I'm gonna come in this place every week, and I don't care if it's just me and my wife. I'm a priest like his fool because I see what God is doing. I'm gonna obey him and say what he tells me to say because you never know what's gonna happen because of your obedience. Oh my God. So number one, you can listen again Listen, the resurrected kingdom operates outside of the fear of human limitation. Number 2, oh my God, the resurrected kingdom is not just a historical event, it's a person. And number 3, I'm moving, you cannot live— hear this— in the realm of a resurrected kingdom if you do not know the king. My God, I know my mama, I know my wife because I spend time with my wife. I've been around my mama all her life— all my life, not all her life, all my life. But you know people you spend time with. People talking about resurrection and they can't see manifestation because they really don't know it. They know church, they know religion. And, and as long as you operate in that arena, your life is always going to come up short. Philippians 3:10. I got to go. The Bible says that that I may know him. My God, here, let's just stop right there. He said that I may know him. The word know there, oh my God, is ordo in Greek. The word ordo means perfect or absolute knowledge. So Paul says here, I need to know him perfectly. And absolutely. I need a concrete revelation of who he is. Listen, let me tell you what Orda looks like. 1 1 2. That's absolute. You can never change that. I don't care how old you get. You, you're gonna— you can grow old and die. 1 1 still gonna be 2. Can I tell you something? You got to know God like that. That no matter what happens, God is still God. That no matter what it looks like, God is still God. No matter what people say to me, God is still God. No matter who throws what at me, God is still God. No matter what my bank account says— y'all ain't got to help me— God is still God. No matter what the doctor pronounced, God is still God. There's got to be a knowing, a resolve in your that there ain't no God like our God. I just— somebody shout, that I may know him. That I may know him. I didn't say go to church and see him. Look, I done been to concerts in my life. I go to the Hawks home games, every home game, because I'm a season ticket holder. I don't know Trae Young. I see him every time I go to the game. I'm as close to him as I am to the First Lady in our seats, but I don't know him. And that's how it is in the church. People are as close to God as we are to Trae Young and all the other NBA players we see in our courtside seats. Oh, y'all ain't got to help me here, but we don't know none of them. And there are a lot of people that are in the vicinity of God They can see what he's doing, they can hear what he's saying, but don't know him. Can I teach it here? God is looking for a church that will know him for real. God's looking for kingdom citizens that without a shadow of a doubt they can say, I know him. When people ask you, how did you get that car? How did you get that money? How did you get that house? Oh, I just know him. Glory to the name of God. That ought to be your testimony that comes out of you knowing him. How did you get healed? How did God do that miracle? How did God work that? He worked it because I know him. Lord have mercy. I wish I had a few people in here that's in this room that really somebody watching, God says, I need you to fall in love with me. I need you not to just be in my vicinity, but I need you to know him. I'm telling you right now, if you ever get to know him, your life will be different forever. All right, Paul says that I may know him Lord have mercy. That ought to be the quest, not to feel good. And it's okay to have good church, but we need more than that. We need to know him. And in this day and time with preachers and, and everybody else saying anything goes, and that you can have 5 wives and you can be a homosexual, you can be a lesbian, the devil is a liar. When you know God, you don't sway to the left nor to the right. Yes, God. Come on, Jesus. Ah, Lord have mercy. Glory to God. See, the reason people do that and say, oh well, God understands my sexuality, I'm— he just— he knows I'm a lesbian, he knows I'm— no, he, he don't want you to be that way. Listen, I don't care how many wigs you put on, you still ain't a woman, because a woman has a womb. Oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing. Oh boy, let me just leave that alone. He says, that I may know him. See, this is the requirement. You'll never get what I'm saying in this realm if you don't know him. You gotta know him. How do I know him, Michael? You gotta spend time with him. Yeah, you gotta worship him. You gotta praise him. Yes, you gotta read the word. You gotta pray. Yes. So you can get to know him. He says that I may know him and— conjunction. So after I get to know him, I need to know him also. I need to know the power. Yes. Come on. Of his resurrection. Watch this. The Greek word for power in this text is exousia. Kingdom. That's that word again, is connected to the kingdom. I need to know the authority of his resurrection. Wait a minute, authority is always perceived. Are y'all hearing this? Authority perceived is authority achieved. Are you hearing this? Authority perceived is authority achieved. I'm gonna say it one more time: authority perceived is authority achieved. Let me give an example. All of my children, when they were little, there was a certain way I handled them so they could perceive my authority. And it got to a point that all I had to do is look at them a certain way, they would change what they were doing. Because authority perceived is authority achieved. Are y'all hearing me? You have to show the world the power of the resurrection. A police officer— watch this, let me give you an example— exousia. The badge that he wears is exousia. Yeah, that's his authority. Are y'all hearing this? So guess what? You coming down the highway doing 90, you see them lights off to the side. Exousia. Yeah, you slow down because authority perceived— yeah, that's right— this authority achieved. Because if you don't respect it, you're gonna turn them lights on and he gonna use dunamis, which is the exercising of authority to give you a ticket. So you got to show the world the badge of the resurrection through your life. But you can't do it if you don't know him and if you don't know the power of it. You gotta have an absolute knowledge of the power of the resurrection. I'm not saying somebody told you Jesus got up. I'm saying you know for real he got up. How do you know that? Because he got up in you. Cause you know it. He says, and the fellowship— wait a minute— of his sufferings. The word sufferings there is pathemi, pathemi, P-A-T-H-E-M-I. Those two words together means literally a drawn-up plan for suffering. So God says, I drew up a plan for every citizen in the kingdom to go to some level of suffering to introduce them to me. Say that with me. Say, God, God, allow my suffering, allow my suffering to introduce me, to introduce me to another level of him, to another level of him.

Wow.

So don't curse your crisis. Jesus, because God's got a plan for everything you're going through. He says, and the fellowship is being made conformable unto his death. So God says, I take you through it to kill some of the stuff in you that needs to die. I'm about to go. So what happens is the lordship and the kingship of Jesus, it's confirmed by how we survive and go through what he sets up for us as kingdom citizens. It's important that we obey the decrees and declarations of scripture. Yeah, so when God— because again, every kingdom has a constitution. I'll say that again: every kingdom has a constitution. I don't care how much they amend the Constitution of the United States, to say certain things are okay. The reality is we only have one constitution as believers, and it is the Bible. Y'all ain't got to help me here. And whatever the Bible says and what the King has decreed, it's law. And that's why we also need prophets, because prophets become the mouthpiece to speak present truth truth that the king wants to convey to his citizens. And when the prophet declares it, it becomes law. God is obligated to uphold what he says. The Bible declares that he's not a man that he should lie, neither the son of man that he should repent. If he said it, shall he not do it? Lord, I got to get out of here because I'm boring y'all. But the reality is, when when you know the king. It gives you access, legal access to his keys. You get access to his resources. You get access to his healthcare. Oh, y'all are talking to me here. God's healthcare system is the best healthcare system. You get access to his commonwealth. In a kingdom, there is a commonwealth. In England, there's something called the Commonwealth of England. This is why the king is very selective, because he shares the wealth of the kingdom with the citizens. And God says, when you know me, I give you access to my commonwealth. I give you access to everything that I have. I don't know about you, but I've read it in the Bible that a cattle on a thousand hills belong to him. Lord, I feel like preaching here. I'm gonna get out of here because I'm gonna get out of your way, I promise you. But God says, I want you to know me so that you can unlock whatever you need whenever you need it. It ought to not be ever a time that the child of God— thank you, Clinton, I was wondering when you were coming, sir. Good God from Zion, just touch somebody and say, God's got everything I need. Good God from Zion, he wants to give you access to his commonwealth. There ought never be a time when the child of God lives in a state of lack, because I heard the Bible say— the Bible, the Bible declares that God will provide. He's Jehovah Jireh. Just hit me a knee, Clint. He's the Lord our provider. He will provide. Everything you need. I got to get through this. Listen, when you really know the King, you embrace his culture, his attitudes, his values, his goals, and his practices. God says, I'm looking for people that knows who I am. I'm looking for people that'll serve me me even when it's not convenient. When you know the King, God says, I'll never leave my citizens, neither will I forsake them. I got to go. So number 4, so watch this here. So the kingdom that is resurrected, number 1, is not just an event. It's a person. Number 2, it operates outside of the realm of human liability and limitation. Number 3, good God Almighty, I feel like preaching. You cannot live in a resurrected kingdom if you don't know the King. I got to get through this. Good God from Zion. Well, y'all ain't gonna help me preach, so I guess I'll preach. Preach by myself. The resurrected kingdom is proof. Somebody shout proof! Y'all didn't say it. Say proof! It's proof that the worst thing is not the last thing. I'll say that again. The resurrection, it's proof that the worst thing is not the last thing. The resurrection reminds us that death is not the end, and no matter what you're going through, you can rise again. The Bible, the Bible says in Acts 1:3, it says, to whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs. Can I tell you something? God wants to show himself alive. I got somebody shout, alive! He ain't dead, he's alive. He wants to show himself alive on your job, alive in our schools, alive in the hospital, alive in our homes, alive everywhere we go. I guess somebody shout, he is alive! Shout yeah! Yeah! I got to get through this. The Bible declares that by many me infallible proof. Ah, can I tell you that God is getting ready to use you and I to be proof that he is alive? We gonna continue to lay hands on the sick and they will recover. We're gonna cast out devils, we're gonna speak to poverty until wealth comes. God's gonna use us as proof to what God can do. Say glory, glory, glory! Wait a minute. To whom he also showed himself alive after his After his death, his burial, his resurrection, he came back and said, I'm still here. Glory to God. He said, look, I'm proof that I'm the King of Kings. I'm proof that I'm the Lord of Lords. The Bible said he was seen 40 days and he spoke things that pertain into the kingdom. He was the resurrected king. The king was alive. The king was well. Can I tell you something? He's alive and he's well today. Listen, our new birth is proof that the king lives. I dare you to touch your belly and say, I'm proof. You didn't say it. Say proof that the King lives. Good God Almighty. 1 Peter 1:3 says this, it says, praise be to God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. In his great mercy, he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. Wait a minute, my Michael, what does that mean? That means you and I have to continue to be living proof that the resurrection is real. I told y'all earlier that it's a bunch of folk in church, going to church, spending time around the church, and still dead because they have no power. They're popular with no power. Oh my God, here they— oh Jesus. They go through the motions and religion and still have no power. Oh my God. But the fact that he got up— and I'm done— is what separates him from all other gods. He is the God of gods. I don't deny that Buddha is a god. But Jesus is the God of gods. I don't deny that Confucius is a god, but Jesus is the God of gods. I don't deny that Sun Tzu is a god and Muhammad is a god, but Jesus is the God of gods. Listen. If you travel to the Green Dome in Saudi Arabia, there you'll find the remains of Prophet Muhammad. He's still there. If you go— oh my God— to Zhaotuan, China, there you'll find the remains of the cremated Buddha. He's still there. Ah, Lord, come on now. If you go to the garage in the Dwarka, you'll find the remains of Confucius. He's still there. Oh my God. And for those of you idiots who are praying to your ancestors Ah, if you visit any grave in Africa where they were buried, I promise you they're still there. But if you travel to the West Hills of Judea, on the Mount of Golgotha, to Joseph's tomb, you'll find he's not there. He's risen. Done as he said. Lord have mercy. He got up so we can keep living in the realm of resurrection. Let me say this to the necromancers who whisper to the dead and talk to their ancestors: it's a form of witchcraft. It is a familiar spirit of deception. That lures you into idealism. For every phony, I want you to know there's a real. And the real in this instance is our Lord Jesus. And listen, I'm telling you, he's alive for real. It's not for us to have great church and not live this out outside of the building. Good God Almighty, he lives, he lives. Christ Jesus lives today. He walks with me, he talks with me along life's narrow way. He lives. Salvation to impart. Ask me how I know he lives. He lives in the heart. Everybody stand up, dog. Thank you, Jesus.

I say glory to your name.

Sing that song for me. Where's your mic?

Jesus, God sent his son God sent his son and they called him Jesus, and they called him Jesus. He came to love, to love, heal and forgive, to heal He bled and died just to buy my pardon. Sing it!

An empty grave is there to prove.

Let my Savior live. Let my Savior live. And because he lives, and because he lives.

Come on, sing it! I can face tomorrow.

I can face, I can face tomorrow because he lives.

All of my fear is gone, and because I know, I know, I know, I know who holds my future.

And now my life is worth living because he lives. My savior lives. Hallelujah, hallelujah!

Come on in this building, clap your hands and tell the Lord thank you. Come on, come on, just a few moments. Thank Thank God that resurrection power is working in you. Come on, I need you to clap your hands and open your mouth. Now my life is worth it.

Yes, my life is now worth living just because Just because, just because the Savior, the risen one, he lives.

Come on, clap your hands and give him glory.

He lives in us.

Thank you for living in us, Jesus. He lives in us. Thank you, Jesus. He lives. He lives.

Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah.

He lives. He lives. Say this with me. Say, say, Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father. Come on, you, you, you shape your world with your words. Say, Heavenly Father.

Heavenly Father.

In the name of Jesus. So I receive the word and I thank you that I am an expression of resurrection. Say, I'm a citizen of a resurrected kingdom. Say, I'm not dead, I'm alive. My body is alive, my money is alive. Say, everything about me, it lives. He is. Say, Father, I thank you for the word, and I believe it. I receive it. I thank you that the resurrection is not an event, it's a person. And because I have you and believe in you, I am in the resurrection. I am life. I say, God in Jesus Jesus' name. Everywhere I go, I'll give life. Say, Father, I thank you for the word, and I believe it. And I thank you now that the resurrected kingdom is not limited to human limitations. In Jesus' name, I dare you to give God praise and glory. He lives in you. He's alive, he's alive, and you're alive because there's more. You're alive because there's more. Just touch yourself and say, I'm alive because there's more. Yes, yes, you're alive because there's more. And you are not an accident. You're alive because there's more. There is more. For you are not an accident. You're alive because there's more. And you are not an accident. You're alive because there's more. There is There is more, there is more, there is more, there is more. And you are not an accident in your life, cause there's more. Thank you, Lord. I dare you just lift your hands one more time and say, there is more. All the stuff that could have killed you, you lived through it and you're still here, and it's because there is— you are not an accident, you're alive because there's more. You're still here because there's more. You're alive because there's more. There's more, y'all. This is not the end. It's not the end. It's not the end. I told you, I said I was preaching when I said it, but let me say it again that the resurrected kingdom— and then we're going— it confirms that the worst thing is not the last thing.

That's right, that's right.

The worst thing that could happen, God has the power to raise it up from the dead. And reverse it. So whatever the worst thing in your life has been, there's resurrection power available for you. You are alive because there's more. I'm still here because there's more. I'm I'm still here because there's more. If you knew like I knew, you declare it. I'm still here. Open your mouth and say it. Because there's more. I'm telling you, there's more. I'm still here because there's more. I'm still here because there's more. Clap your hands and praise God. Very quickly, we're going to take an opportunity to give. Are we still online? Those of you that are watching us online, we want you to participate. Glory to the name of God. In our time of giving, the Bible declares it's more blessed to give than it is to receive. Praise Praise the Lord. Matter of fact, I want to read a passage of scripture to you as we prepare our hearts to give today. Were you guys blessed today? Hallelujah! I know this word blessed me as I was preparing, so I hope it blessed you. Thank you, Lord. There is more, there is more, there is more. There is more, for you are not in accident. You're alive because there's more. You're alive because there's more. You're still here. Because there's more. I'm alive because there's more. Thank you, Lord Jesus. What a mighty God we serve. He's amazing. Beside him there's no other. Hallelujah. 2 Corinthians Romans really quick, uh, 9:6-8. I want to read this. It says, each of you should not give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver, and God is able to bless you abundantly so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. That's what I want to get. How many want to abound in everything? Part of what makes us abound in everything is our giving. That's right. And we should never miss opportunity to give and share with the Lord. The ways to give, for those of you watching, are on the screen. Glory to the name of God.

Did y'all know those people that came in? Oh, did she? Okay. Oh really? Wow. Okay. They reminded me— it was just something popped in my head when they came in. You know, I've been preaching a long time, and I was doing a meeting one time time in this little community center. And because when I was in Mississippi, we used to go to these different areas. We was in Edwards, Mississippi. You know where Edwards is, man of God? Little community center in Edwards in the projects. So I took some of the leaders, we set up the speakers, I was preaching. But that was a little boy. I'd be in there preaching, he'll ride in on that big wheel— he had a big wheel— and sit in the back and listen to the word. Word. If I get up off the word, he ride out. I go to preach again, he ride back in. And the Lord told me in that little instant, he said, no matter where you're at and what you're doing, somebody's always listening. Preach the word, be instant, in season. Leaders, remember this. And out, you never know who you can reach. Amen. Praise God. I pray that everyone has completed your giving. We have a budget we have to meet every week, and y'all certainly don't want Apostle Woods to have to meet the budget himself every week. Uh, we have to make sure we take care of our worship leader, our musician. And, um, I don't get a salary for the church. I don't need one, but we want the church to be able to take care of itself. So y'all make sure y'all give. Glory to God. It's more blessed to give. See, they came back on in. Look at that. See, God bless. Sister right there in the Orange, come here, let me say something. Can I pray for you really fast? I know you have your mask on, but I want to pray for you. I, I'm, I'm triple boosted by the blood of Jesus and the stuff. Glory to God. So I won't give you nothing. Lift your hands up. I never seen you there in my life, but I want to say this to you. The Lord told me to tell you that you're getting ready to enter into a season of consistency. Everything that has been unstable Everything that has challenged you, every obstacle, God said to tell you today he is overturned. Matter of fact, I'm gonna say it again, overturned. Yeah, I'll say it again, God overturned it for you, and now you're getting ready to move into a season of smooth sailing and consistency. And everything you put your hands on, God said he's going to cause it to prosper, he's going to cause it to grow. He said he's to fulfill your dreams. And he said, if you dream it, to tell you he's God enough to do it. There's nothing too big for him. And I heard him say this: you are destined for greatness. Everywhere your feet put or step upon, he's gonna cause it to prosper. Just trust him. And I'm looking at some things when you was a small girl that you saw and that you thought. And as you grow up, you thought and you dreamed. God said those very dreams are alive in your life. And no matter how your environment and your culture was, God said you will be the one for your family that will rescue them, that will bring them to a place of stability. The greatness is in you. Father, I thank you for this young lady from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. I thank you for consistency. I thank you for the anointing that's upon her life. Thank you for her prayer life. Stir up the gifts that are in her and let her dreams live. And I praise you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And thank God. God bless you. God bless you. Praise God. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. Father, again, bless every gift and every giver, return it back to them a thousand times more.

We're small, but we can make a big impact if we do this together. Acts 1:3, it says, he showed himself alive after his passion. For 40 days with infallible proof. Here's what God gave me. God said he's about to give us 40 days of infallible proof. And the very things that I was preaching about today, being a living example of resurrection we're about to see it in our lives over the next 40 days. Now watch this, this is what we're gonna do.

We're taking all the sugar out of your diet, no meat, nothing but fruit, vegetables, and water. And you can eat that starting at 3, and then at midnight we start the cycle again. But we're gonna fast and pray for 40 days. And we gonna trust God for infallible proof. I'm trusting God for this autism to be reversed. I'm trusting God for supernatural miracles everywhere we go, and that we become walking encounters, walking expressions of revival. Hallelujah. And I'm telling you, we're going to see some miraculous things financially. Some miraculous doors are going to open in our businesses.

That happens on a Thursday night. That's 10 days before we close. But on that Thursday night, we're gonna assemble here, we're gonna have revival in this place, and we're gonna invite people out, and it's gonna be phenomenal. All right, so y'all stay with me, and we're gonna see miracles, signs, and wonders in these 40 days. And guess what Jesus did in those 40 days? He spoke the things pertaining to the kingdom. So everything we teach is going to be kingdom every day for the next 40 days, online, on Sundays. We're going to advance the kingdom and watch what God does. Then we're gonna have some testimonies. It's gonna be amazing. Glory to God. So Watch your phone. That's all I got to say. Watch your phone. It's gonna happen. We're going home. Everybody stand. Thank God for these visitors that stepped in. Y'all was looking for another church, okay? Well, thank y'all for stepping in. Y'all came in on the end. Y'all have to come back and visit with us again. We're here every Sunday at 4 o'clock. Glory to God. Wonderful Savior. I thank God for all of you, um, I get up on Sundays for you guys. I don't even really— if God sends other people, I'm grateful, but I come because I know apostolically we got an impact that we have to make that is bigger than what we see in number. That's not even what it's about. It's— we— an apostle's effect is felt more in the realm of the spirit than it is in the realm of the natural. So the things we do helps pastors keep being able to pastor. So I get up excited to empower you guys to do what we got to do. So I appreciate all of you. We appreciate Salma's— look, we— y'all give God praise for her. She ministered to us out of heart, as she does every week. This morning, y'all get the First Lady a hand. We love her with the love of the Lord. That's the love of my life. That's my girlfriend, my side piece, my lover, my everything. God, I don't know what I— I don't know how— listen, I couldn't have two women, and that I got, that one I got is enough. I thank God for her. And my mom, y'all give my mom a hand. Glory to God. We give God praise for her, and we thank God for the genius raise your fingers over there. Give Clinton a hand. Amen. I thank God for all you. Thank God for Shariel. She working hard back there. She be training on the job. I appreciate God for her though. And everybody that's watching online, share it if y'all still on. Glory to God. And if y'all get your phones when y'all leave here, share this. Go to Rider Church Facebook page, go to YouTube page, wherever you watch it, and share it please so so that people can see it. I believe people need to hear that message. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord. All right, we're going home. You got something to say? Oh yeah, don't forget to watch us on television every Saturday night on the AIB Network. That's 295 on Comcast. That's— what is it on DirecTV and AT&T U-Verse is Channel 9. So make sure 8 o'clock on Saturday nights the broadcast is on, and tell other people it's on. The broadcast is great, man, I love watching it. And make sure you go by and see the billboard if you haven't seen it. The billboard is at I-20 mile marker 63. And you know, so let me just tell y'all something. Y'all look at this ministry, look around. look how small this church is. We got a TV program, we got billboards, we run hundreds of dollars in Facebook ads every month because we live in the supernatural realm of resurrection. God does that. Hallelujah. He takes a few people— see, God can make people be preoccupied with your ministry that you don't even see. I have people that are sowing into this ministry ministering on a weekly basis, a monthly basis, that don't ever come in this building because they get blessed by what they see me write or what I put up. Listen, God know how to take care of what you got to do, but again, you just gotta obey him. Amen. Let's go home, y'all. Father, we love you. We thank you for 40 days of infallible proof. God, you said you showed yourself alive for 40 days. And so God, we're going to get in that vein of 40 days of your glorious appearing. And we believe that on this journey for the next 40 days, you're going to appear to us, God. You're going to deal with us. You're going to direct us. You're going to provide for us. You're going to open doors for us as we sacrifice in fasting and prayer. And Father, and teaching your word and teaching the things that pertain to the kingdom. And we give you glory for it now. God, as we leave this place, may we never leave your presence. Make our way smooth, successful, and prosperous in the mighty name of Jesus. God, I pray that every person here, when they will get to their home, they will find their abode greater than they left it. And we give you praise for it now in Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Help somebody
