Apostolic Mentality | Dr. Michael Woods, Sr. | Radah Church | 26 April 2026

Dr. Michael Woods Sr. teaches on the "apostolic mentality" using Philippians 2:5-11, breaking it into three stages: revelation, responsibility, and rulership. He argues believers must adopt Christ's mind to exercise dominion, expand strategically, and steward resources with accountability to God.

Yes, Lord, there's no other name greater than the name of Jesus. The Bible says there's no other name given among men whereby we can be saved. And every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that Jesus is Lord. You know the beautiful thing about that? We have the opportunity, ha, shekatatabansorabandiasu, to bow and call his name without being forced. Because there will be those that will call his name whether they want to or not. They're gonna have to declare that he is Lord. But thank God we have recognized that he is our King and he is our God. Hallelujah! We bless you, Jesus. We honor your name. I'm gonna try to do this tonight Glory to God. As extemporaneous as I possibly can, but I feel the Lord. Glory to God. Wonderful Savior tonight. Um, yeah, I'm drunk for real. Okay, yeah, get my boundaries here. Jesus, we love you. Bless your name, Jesus. Just right where you are, just slip those hands up a few moments. Worship is a substratum of an apostolic hub, and sometimes it goes longer, sometimes it's extended. God knows it's not because I want you to hear me sing. Somebody proposed the question, why does Apostle have to sing 30 minutes after the praise team? It's not necessarily I want to. Is because sometimes God is trying to take us further and he's longing for more. And no service is about me, it's about him. Worthy is your name. Y'all sing it. Jesus, Jesus, you deserve the Praise. Worthy is your name. Worthy is your name. Sing it. Worthy, worthy. You deserve the praise. You deserve the praise. Worthy is your name. Worthy Come on, I wish somebody knew it.

Thank you, Jesus. We're going to talk tonight again about apostolic mentality. Yes, God. Thank you, Jesus. All right, we're gonna try to get through it. Worthy is your name. My God, you deserve praise. Ani edio. Baba mama de le de diasa. Makala monyose. Okay, all right, we're going to talk about apostolic mentality. Thank you, Lord. Wonderful Savior. Utabayasai. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord, for that great name. Yes, Lord. You can't have an apostolic hub and it doesn't develop apostolic mindsets and mentalities. I'm trying real hard. Jeez. Hallelujah. Your mind has to shift. All the stuff we've been teaching about dominion, about rulership and authority, about physical principalities and stratospheric warriors gubernatorial authority. None of that stuff happens without a mindset. Can I tell you something? It starts in the mind. Anything that manifests in your life, it comes out of your mind first. Are y'all hearing this? Yes. Matter of fact, if you look at your bank account, it's not a reflection of what you do, it's a reflection of your mindset. Money is not currency, your mind is. And we want to see the power of God in our life, we got to get a mindset to see that power come forth. If we want to be people of dominion, we got to start thinking like people of dominion. And it starts with developing an apostolic mentality. So let's go through and review a little here, just a little. Um, again, an apostolic hub is a center where equipping, sending, and revival should take place. So mindset is developed in the equipping process. This is why when you're in a place where you have opportunity to be taught, to learn, to grow, you shouldn't take that for granted. Can I tell you something? There are a whole lot of people out here who most of the time when they show up at church as a leader— and I'm just going to be totally honest with you— they show up for themselves first. Okay, got quiet right there. Because most leaders are reapplying for their job. Well, they come to church because they're trying to impress the congregation, to make sure the people that is listening to them stay. So most of what they prepare, most of what they develop, is not born out of prayer, is born out of the need to retain or create a community of retention to see if what they are saying is more progressive or have more depth than the guy down the street. And don't let it be a church that's elder-driven or deacon-driven. That pastor really is applying for his job because those deacons hired him. Are y'all hearing this? And if he doesn't please them— oh, y'all ain't saying much— they can also fire him. That's why I always say I'd rather have a demon-possessed church than a deacon-possessed church, because I can cast the devil out, but them deacons ain't going nowhere. Them deacons gonna stay there. You can throw oil on and rebuke them, they think, uh-uh, then we ain't going nowhere. You gonna leave for them. So, so the reality is we ought to thank God when we have opportunity to learn and grow and be better. Amen. So that's what hubs do, equip us. And part of that equipping is developing a mindset Glory to God, so that you can go forth and do the things that God has called you to do. So let's look at what apostolic mentality is. Let's look at it. So apostolic mentality is the discipline— let's stop right there— it's the discipline. You cannot develop this mentality without discipline. Matter of fact, you can't develop no mentality, good or bad, without discipline. People that have bad mindsets, that's a pattern that they discipline themselves to act out over time. Matter of fact, everything is a result of a mentality that's created out of patterns. Say that when we say patterns. Have power. So you got to understand that the patterns you own, they're leading somewhere. To have a good marriage, I have to create patterns that invest in a good marriage every day. If I'm go— if I have a bad marriage, that, that comes from a pattern as well. Are y'all hearing this? So you got to embrace discipline patterns to produce the mentality, uh, apostolic mentality. Remember, apostolic is that that pertains to the work of an apostle, which is gubernatorial authority, plenipotentiary status, stratospheric warfare. It's also spherical principalities. We've covered all that, right? So to get the mindset to take rule and authority in this way— I don't like what this mic is doing. I don't know what's happening. Turn it up. Just did. I don't know if I want it up. I got too much bass or something. I sound like Teddy Pendergrass. Y'all ain't that saved. Y'all know who he is. Turn out the lights. Teddy P. Are y'all here? Y'all know who he is. Okay, anyway, yeah, I like this a little better. I tell my wife's mic is saved and mine costs more. I don't understand. Yeah, yeah, hallelujah. Anyway, we just gotta set it right. So it's got to be a mindset to take thrones. To shift systems, to disrupt our society. But you got to be disciplined to get it. Discipline means you can't just pray when you're in trouble. Are y'all hearing this? Amen. Some people have an urgent prayer life, which means they only talk to God when it's urgent. As long as things is going okay, They don't spend no time with him, but something major comes up, they're crying out to him. Matter of fact, the chiefest of sinners will call on Jesus in trouble. I've seen folk nowhere near saved calling on Jesus because something happened to a relative. Or they found out a diagnosis from the doctor they didn't agree with. Life has a way of making you call on it. But watch this, if you make prayer important, it'll never be urgent. If you make it important, time with him important, you wouldn't be trying to rebuke stage 4 cancer. You start speaking to your body before— while them cells trying to form, start breaking that generational curse before— y'all ain't got to talk to me here— before it shows up in your life. Because once you get it, it's a whole different type of prayer, because you battling the emotion of whether God's gonna do it, or you don't see everybody else die. But if you rebuke it before it even has a chance to show up, that takes discipline. To speak to your body every day and say, my body is a cancer-free zone. Are y'all hearing this? My body is a high blood pressure-free zone. My body is a diabetes-free zone. It takes discipline to declare, I'm wealthy and I operate in my wealthy place. I'm a billionaire. It takes discipline to do that every day. Are y'all hearing this? Say discipline. Discipline. So mindsets are born out of discipline. Matter of fact, when you go to college, you go for 4 years, right? And in undergrad, what they're doing in the last 2 years is introducing you to a discipline. The first 2 years is the substratum of your education. The last 2 years, your junior and senior year, they introduce you to what? They call a major, but what it actually is is a discipline. Because now all of your courses are connected to that discipline, and they want to ensure you're able to operate within the parameters of that discipline when you graduate. If by chance you choose not to abide by the coursework Are y'all hearing this? You might not be graduating, and that's going to be proof of one, A, maybe college just ain't for you, or B, you have no discipline. Are y'all hearing this? Because you got— let me use my son for example. My son, my oldest son Junior, he went to college on a full scholarship. Well, Junior had us hovering over him, making him a good student in high school. Okay, great student, great athlete, went to college, no discipline. Mama wasn't there to get him out the bed and say, you got to get up and go to class. He thought he was so smart he could sleep all day, catch up on his work. No, Junior could have graduated summa cum laude easy, but his college career became o-lord and o-laudy. Because, and eventually, because of the lack of discipline— I'm trying to help you— he got thrown out. They said, bro, we don't want— you went from full scholarship to go home. Because you wouldn't come to class. You start proving you're not a standard to be on this campus because you have no discipline. Are y'all hearing this? So when it comes to developing a mentality in the realm of the spirit, you got to be disciplined to study. This— you shouldn't just worship in here. Are y'all here? Your worship beyond this place, you ought to have a life at home where you spend time with God. Matter of fact, disciplined people in the spirit spend prime time with God, which means you kind of know when you're gonna meet him. Prime time means you guys, you've got set time and spaces even where you meet God. Because you can't be in the family room with everybody and spend time with God. Not for real. You can sit there and pray and while everybody's watching TV, but it's not going to be effective. You need opportunity to pull away. That's discipline. You need time alone where you can just— you and him. Are y'all with me? So I'm into apostolic mentality, just discipline, Spirit-governed mindset. Here we go. Of one who thinks, sees, builds, and governs according to the eternal blueprint of God. That's so good. So first of all, I got to be disciplined to tap into the Spirit where I allow him to you govern my life. Because guess what? When you got saved, because you're a tripartite being— your body, soul, and spirit, three parts, just like God, Father, Son, Holy Ghost— you're three parts. The reality is God saved your spirit. Now you have to learn to allow your spirit to control your soul. Cause the passions and the appetites of the soul did not get saved. Okay, I know we got a few that left heaven to come here tonight, and your chariot is outside ready to take you back on to heaven. But, but the reality is your flesh is still alive. That's why the Bible said you can have thoughts that exalt itself against the knowledge of God. Oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing. You could be in prayer, in worship, and the enemy would— if you ain't killed that stuff, it'll come up at the wrong time. So you got to learn to discipline yourself to bring that stuff under control. Why, Michael Woods? Because it's not going away. It's not going away. Anything that's not going away, you have to control. You gotta wanna control it. See, we think we want God to work magic, but to whom much is given, much is required. We have to be an example. Paul even said, I got a thorn in my flesh. He said, I prayed about this thing and it just won't— when I want to do right, I do wrong. Are y'all hearing this? You have to bring that thing under control. You have to kill it so Satan can't use what you holding on to. Because when you got saved again, if you enjoyed sex, if you enjoy lying, if you enjoy cussing, whatever your thing was, your body still want to do that. Are y'all hearing this? All right, maybe I'm in the wrong place tonight. It's— it ain't— nobody here is married. Y'all understand exactly what I'm saying. Listen, yeah, he's married. I said marry, M-A-R-Y. Y'all know what I'm talking about. Your body is alive, but you got to be disciplined to bring it under control. So watch this, so you can think, see, build, and govern like God. Watch this. Prioritizing dominion, order, expansion, and alignment over emotion, chaos, and limitation. So that's a lot of discipline to decide, I'm gonna put in priority dominating. Watch this. When you used to not dominate Because most people are used to not dominating. They're used to just living life every day. But a mindset that's apostolic and a dominion mindset says, I'm gonna put this as my chief priority. Why? Because that's the first thing God said to man. He said, have dominion. Are y'all hearing this? Someone prioritize dominion, order. Why would you prioritize order when there's so much dysfunction in your life. Some people love dysfunction. Some folk ain't happy until they unhappy. Y'all met some folk like that? Oh my God, they could be doing okay and everything's fine, and they find a way to create unhappiness because that dysfunction tells them they're okay if they allow that to happen in their life. That's why a lot of people end up with other dysfunctional people, because when they're looking for someone, they're not looking from a standpoint of dominion and priority. They're looking out of dysfunction, and they really don't know what functional looks like. Are y'all here? So you choose another dysfunctional person. Person, and y'all think y'all okay. You got to prioritize controlling that order and expansion. What are we expanding? Again, we're expanding the kingdom, one, out of the four walls of the church. We're showing up in the world, and we're aligning with God, and we're putting that over emotions. We love being emotional. Are y'all hearing this? Oh boy. And we really believe that emotions move God. You can cry till you blue in the face. If you ain't got no faith, God's going, okay, I'm waiting for you to get through crying and believe. Are y'all hearing this? Because emotions don't move heaven, faith does. Are y'all with me? And chaos is our default setting. We learned that. So we love going back to chaos because chaos says I'm normal. There's other stuff you're trying to expand my mind into abnormal when really an apostolic mentality, a mindset of rulership— and I'm about to give you a scripture, okay— it should be a normal thing. Say that. When we say dominion should be normal, it should be. So we got to normalize that. We got to make it okay that rulership, order, expansion, and alignment is normal versus walking around emotional wrecks, mental wrecks, chaotic in our doings, and limited in everything we do. Say that with me. Say, there's no limits in God. I need y'all to believe that tonight. Somebody watching this online, type it in the comments: there's no limits in God. So if you're really in him— matter of fact, do put your hand over your head like this. Ain't nothing above your head. Y'all don't feel— y'all ain't hitting nothing, is you? Ain't nothing above your head. You can go as high as you want to. You, you, you are your limitation. So you got to get the mentality to get out of your own way. All right, okay, I think we're ready for the scripture. Let's go, let's go to Philippians 2 and let's start at verse 5. Y'all ready? He said, let this mind be in you. Point to somebody real rude like and say, you. Yeah, because some people think, you know, that's for the other person, but this is for every believer. Are y'all hearing this? We're not created just to come to church and not take on the mentality of Christ. I'm reading this because, first of all, Christ is the chief of all apostles. I know there's a lot of people that call themselves chief apostles. I'm still looking for the context for that. But, but the reality is Jesus indeed is the chief. The Bible said the church is built on the foundation of apostles and prophets. Jesus being the chief. Are y'all hearing this? Jesus is the chief prophet. Jesus is the chief apostle. Jesus is the master prophet. I don't care what that guy said that charged you for prophecy, he ain't the master prophet. Matter of fact, if the truth be told, he spends a lot of time with witches and come back and sell you the prophecy he gets from psychics and witches. Yeah, y'all share that with him because that's, that's the truth. He says, let this mind be in you. Touch up, say me, which was also in Christ Jesus. Not in Jake's, not in the most popular guy out there. Let the mind be in you that was in Jesus. Jesus had an apostolic mindset, so we got to adopt the mindset of Jesus. He shows us what it is starting at verse 6. Who being in the form of God— somebody say form of God. Oh, I love this. The form here, this word is morphe. Well, it's like more morph— metamorphosis is the middle of that, which is the outer part of the change. So watch this, he says, let this mind be in Christ Jesus, who— Jesus, first of all, was in the form of God. He looked like God. So that means anthropomorphically, we look like God. Humans are made in the image of God. And we look like him. Touch yourself, say, I look like him. So God has a nose. Let me have it. Because if we're in the form of God, we're in the image of God. Tesalam in Hebrew, which means whatever God has, we have. So he made us to mirror him. There's a reason for that. That anything in creation, when it sees us, it should see God. Ah, that's why you shouldn't be scared of a Chihuahua nor a Rottweiler. Are y'all hearing this? Because that Rottweiler is sensing fear on you, just like the Chihuahua. He'll go acting crazy. He see you scared. Are y'all hearing this? But if you walk like you're in dominion, like you're in the form of God, both that rock and that chihuahua is going to respect you. I'm just, I'm just trying. It's a mentality. Because we're programmed to be scared of things that are unfamiliar. Because you see this animal, you don't know what he gonna do. He was in the form of God. You and I are in the form of God. Snakes. You got dominion over them. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, let me keep reading because— yeah, but your mind got to change. Because if you can't understand that you can dominate an animal— that's why I ain't scared of nothing. I'm going woods hunting. I'll walk up to a deer. It don't matter. Because at the end of the day, I look like God. You look like God. When that animal sees me, it sees its creator. Are y'all hearing this? It's quiet. I thought it would be because we— this is a hard thing on the man. I didn't say you were God. I said you're in the form of God, but being apostolic means you can do what he can do in your realm of influence. So how can you dismantle systems if you're afraid of them? There's some people that can't deal with their boss, can't deal with systems of the world. They're afraid because they don't really know who they are. Watch this. Jesus— this is the mind of Jesus. He was in the form of God, then he thought it not robbery to be equal with God. Somebody said, well, that's for Jesus. No, he said let this mind be in you. Okay, all right. So you should not be thinking it robbery to be equal with God. Are y'all with me tonight? Y'all quiet. Is this too much on Sunday night? I'm just trying to get your mindset right. Watch this. This word equal is isos, I-S-O-S, which means equal in quality and quantity. In other words, you said it ain't robbery that I'm just like God. You said Jesus was in you, right? You said you had Holy Ghost, so why in the world do you have a problem saying you're equal with God? This is what this— if we got the mindset of Jesus, he is the equalizer. Oh God. He takes your idiosyncrasies and levels you up so you can do what he does. Okay, let me keep reading that. Maybe that's too much. Verse 7: He made himself no reputation. This is a mindset. In other words, Jesus didn't want to be seen. If Jesus was alive now, Jesus would not be posting his picture every 3 hours. Are y'all hearing this? I heard somebody say if Jesus was alive now, he would, uh, have 300 million followers and all this. I'm like, Jesus wouldn't need that, cuz Jesus will walk outside and people will come to him and they would get healed and delivered and set free. It wouldn't even— but that's how we should be operating. Instead of trying to make a reputation of ourselves. Are y'all hearing me? A lot of times we build steps for ourselves, and that's not what God wants us to do. What— guess what he did? He took on the form of a servant. This is the mindset of Jesus. The word servant is doulos in Greek. It means a bond slave. So Jesus said, I'm a slave. God's the master, I'm his slave. And watch this, that he was made— so he was in the form of God, in the likeness of men. So he— so watch this, that's saying all men have a similar likeness. But when the Holy Ghost gets in you and permeates through you, now the world can see God in you. Or God on you. Verse 8, watch this. And being found in the fashion as a man, he humbled himself. Well, here we go. We talked about that this morning— arrogance. So you got to humble yourself. This is the mindset of Jesus. You don't wait to be humbled. He didn't want— he humbled himself. He got low. Watch this, the way up is down. Knowing who he was, he didn't exalt that. A lot of times we think the way up is up, and hey, I always say the door is in the floor. So you gotta learn to humble yourself, to get low, so God— watch this— can raise you up. So nobody can get the credit but him. So he, he was in the fashion of a man, but he humbled himself because he had all this power as a man. He became obedient unto death. This is the mindset to obey God. Watch this, you have to choose obedience. Nobody can obey for you. God won't make you obey him, and you have to make up in your mind, whatever God says, I'm going to obey him until I die. This is the mindset of Jesus, which is an apostolic mentality. Watch this: even if what he's telling me to do will cause me to die Are you willing to really die for him if it came to that? I mean, that's a real question because you got to think about that. I got a prophecy some years ago from my spiritual father then, and he said, I saw you going to the Middle East. You're gonna go preach the gospel, Muslims gonna get saved, it's gonna be a great meeting. But then you're gonna get shot at. He said, you ain't gonna die, which means I was not gonna just get shot at, I was gonna get shot. And you gonna come back though. I said, Lord, I don't know if I like that prophecy, so I need to make sure this you. I got a couple of sons who are apostles in Pakistan. For the last 10 years they've been trying to get me. Well, Dad, you need to come to— no, we're gonna do a Zoom crusade, man. I done did about 6 Pakistani— thousands of folk on there and they watching me on the screen because I still ain't heard God say go. But if he say go, cuz that prophecy is still alive. See, this kind of folk that I got rolling, they already out. We going to see you when you get back. We're talking about being obedient to death though. I mean, the reality is I don't think God will let you die. He just wants to see if you obey. So if he says go to Pakistan, I'm going. Are y'all hearing this? There was a preacher out of Jackson, Mississippi, um, Powerful in the States, man. God was using this man all over the country. People getting healed, tumors disappearing, people getting out of wheelchair. I mean, he was powerful. This dude was powerful. Preacher invited him to Africa. He kept feeling in his spirit, I don't think I need to go, but they kept pressuring him to come. He went. And was doing a baptism in a river over there. And watch this, these piranhas were in this water. The Lord let one bite him to see what he was going to do. When the rest of the piranhas saw, it didn't move it. He said it was like multiple schools of piranhas that were coming from all directions just attacking him. But watch this, they were just bouncing off his leg because he didn't feel like he should go, but the Lord really wanted him to go. He had a great meeting there and God showed him, I ain't gonna let you die, I'm gonna protect you. And he didn't go to one of them pretty African crusades, he went to a a village where all kind of witchcraft and warlocktry was happening in this village. I mean, he came toe-to-toe with warlocks. And you know, in Africa, you know, this stuff we deal with over here is mosquitoes compared to the demonic forces that operate in these continents. The reality is he literally could have died, but he was obedient to Y'all hear me? So I'm just trying to— this is the mentality you got to have. I grew up in the church and I believe these mothers, they would say, 'For God I live and for God I'll die.' I mean, can you really say that and mean it? It's a real question, man. You ain't got to answer tonight, but you ought to think about that. Jesus did. He became obedient to death, even though he actually died. That's a mentality. Why? He fulfilled purpose in death. You know what though? He knew he was going to get up again. He knew there was a promise that if he died, he would rise again. Guess what? If you die in him You're gonna rise again. So you might as well make up your mind and be obedient unto death. Watch this. Disobedient. Verse 9, this is the mindset. Wherefore God also highly exalted him and has given him a name which is above every name. Oh, we was just singing about that name. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, of things in earth, and things under the earth. Verse 11, and that every tongue should confess confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of the Father. See, you don't have to make a name for yourself when you're obedient. Are y'all hearing this? God will make a name for you. He'll make people know who you are because of your obedience. You got people doing all kind of stuff in the body of Christ trying to get to the top. So this apostolic mentality, according to these, these verses, it's not just a way of thinking. It's an aligned and calibrated mindset. Watch this, that through your thinking, heaven's intention, heaven's purpose is reflected in the earth. The way people are going to see heaven on earth is how we think. We gotta think from heaven to earth. So, so let's, let's look deep into this. So the internal architecture of apostolic mentality, apostolic people, is shaped by number one, revelation. Somebody say revelation. So again, this goes back to how I started— prayer. Prayer births revelation. Oftentimes in prayer, God releases a spermatic word in your spirit that breaks the embryo of your spirit, that gives birth to revelatory experiences. Prayer should culminate— one of the things that should happen when you get through praying is revelation. Y'all with me? I ain't had no revelation since the war, but I'm— prayer is a conversation. So if I'm spending time with God, it's just like sometimes my wife, she'll be cooking or something, and I'm talking to her, water be running, and I'll be talking and I don't see, she can't really hear. And I'm like, did you hear what I was just saying? Because I'm expecting a response. Well, she's like, no, I didn't hear you, the water's running. You got to make sure your ears are tuned and sensitized that when you spend time with God, you can hear his voice. You're supposed to know his voice, right? My sheep know my voice. And a stranger they will not follow. So you, when you engage him, you ought to be looking for something. Are y'all with me? So revelation comes, but then watch this, after revelation there's a responsibility for the revelation, because revelation without application is constipation. I'm gonna say it again: revelation without application is constipation. So God can reveal it to you, but if you don't take responsibility to apply what he shows you— now, first of all, some of y'all looking at me like, constipation, Apostle? I'm talking about spiritual constipation, which, you know, when you get— then y'all from the South, you know, I shouldn't have to explain what that is. You lack fiber, you're backed up, it's hard for you to get it out, you're straining. There are a lot of people who are straining in life because they got the revelation but they ain't making the application. Because the revelation is not enough, it's just a start. Now you got to take responsibility to what God has revealed. This is the mindset of apostolic thinking. When God shows you, it's not just because he want to show you something so you can sit in the church, 'Oh, God showed me something.' No, that's not what that's for. It's always a purpose why God reveals a thing. Are we here? Says we— revelation, responsibility. And then after you start taking action in responsibility comes rulership. This is good. So the internal architecture of apostolic people is to get revelation, take responsibility, and then take their place of rulership. When you do this, this is what happens. I want you to write this down. It empowers you as an individual. First of all, number one, to see from heaven's vantage point. This is prophetic perception. When you get revelation, take responsibility, start sitting on the thrones you're supposed to sit on, God now allows you to see with heaven's vantage point. Instead of looking at life through the lens of earthly wisdom, you now see the world and life not through the lens of ABC News, Fox News, CNN. You now see the world through heaven's vantage point. Point. You can see the prophetic reasoning behind why Trump is president. Are y'all hearing this? Because if you can't see that and you're just complaining about him, then you, you have not aligned with what God is saying. Some of the things that are happening to us is an opportunity for the church to rise up and be the church. Are y'all hearing me? To be who we're supposed to be so we can empower our communities. Oh boy. Secondly, when you, when you tap into revelation, responsibility, rulership through apostolic mentality, you now have the ability not only to see from heaven's vantage point, but you can also structure according to divine order. So you can structure your life based on God's order. Not the world system, not Mama Dem way. Because, you know, I'm— our mothers meant well, but in most of our homes, we got a lot of bad theology. Are y'all hearing this? Okay. Yeah, they loved us, then they told us what they knew, but the reality is a lot of bad theology was released that created structures— watch this— that kept us shaped in iniquity, because we're born in sin, shaping in iniquity. Iniquity is lawlessness without kingdom law. So we start living in ways that mom and daddy taught us, that wasn't built in faith, wasn't built in revelation, wasn't built in dominion and authority. Again, they loved us, they just gave us what they knew. So that's why when you come to God, if any man be in Christ, he's a new creature. All things are passed away. All things. Even that, even that bad theology. Not all the stuff mama and daddy gave us was bad, but that bad stuff has to go. Some of us are soul-tied to bad information. We got a soul tie with information that didn't come from God. And just because we love the person that said it, we stand on it. My— I hear folk all the time, my daddy used to do this, so I do it because my daddy did it. Well, your daddy was wrong. Y'all ain't got to say— because if he was doing that and it wasn't God, and he wasn't being led of God, and he was operating in an ungodly character, you don't do what daddy did. Okay, I gotta go. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm treading on something. Thirdly, write it down. Not only do you see from heaven's vantage point structure according to divine order, which is governmental precision. You also stored resources— this is important— with accountability. So when God gives you resources, now you have the ability through revelation to manage those resources. That's kingdom management with accountability. You're accountable to God for what he gives you. Are y'all hearing this? Can I submit this to you? Nothing you have is yours. We're just managers of his stuff. I know you thought your car was your car. It ain't yours. That's not your house. That money you got in that 401k, it ain't yours. It belongs to him. So how are you going to manage that? How you gonna steward it? You got to be accountable to him with that. Are y'all with me? Fourthly, write it down: apostolic mentality that shapes revelation, responsibility, and rulership. It also causes you to steward advanced territory— I'm sorry— through strategic expansion. So in the kingdom, everything ought to get better. Say that with me. Say, in the kingdom, everything gets better. So when we are present in the world, the world should be getting better, not worse, because we're there. Why? Because we represent Jesus. Because we're in the form of God. We're— we don't count it robbery to be equal with God. So we ought to be expanding things in the name of God. Are y'all with me? Write it down. Not only can we see from heaven's vantage point, prophetic perception, structure according to divine order, governmental precision, steward resources with accountability, kingdom management, advance— oh my God— territory through strategic expansion, which is dominion execution. We can also sustain environments— I love this— that host the presence of God. Now watch this, can I submit this to you? That ain't just the church. You are a glory carrier. You carry glory in you. So everywhere you go, you should sustain an environment where God can be glorified. Are y'all with me? God knows I love seeing y'all on Sunday and Thursday, but you can't live at the church. And you just can't. First of all, ain't enough room in here for folk to live here. Ain't even no shower in here. You can't live in here. You got to go home. You got to go to work. But you ought to be sustaining an environment that God can dwell in. You shouldn't want to come to church, just hang around church all day because there's so much hell at your house. And you're afraid to go into your week. You— I told you this morning, you control the atmosphere. You have atmospheric authority. You live in an apartment, your name— or live next to some folks that's loud, give them one warning. I said, look, y'all need to cut that music down. The ambassador of the kingdom's got to sleep. Oh, y'all ain't— yeah, you need to know who you are. And if they don't cut it down, you put the angels on them, and in 30 days they'll be gone. God knows how to take care of his own. You just got to know who you are and create the environment you desire. Are y'all here? All right, I'm almost done. Here's a few characteristics, and we're gonna be out of here, of an apostolic mentality. Number 1, write it down: Blueprint thinking. Say blueprint thinking. So the apostolic mind doesn't guess, it builds from revelation. Psalm 16:11 says this. I don't have it, Mario, but I'm gonna quote it. It says, thou will show me the path of life. For in thy presence is fullness of joy. Let's break that down. First of all, thou will show me. Say the word. Say, Lord, show me. The word show there in Hebrew is yada, and it means he will give you an intimate perspective to see things as he sees them. Say that with me. Say, Lord, I want to see myself the way you see me. Not, not the way word curses have defined you, or the trauma of your past has created a perception of you. You ought to decide, I want to see my life the way God sees my life. He says, thou will show you the path of life. There it is, the orak. In Hebrew, the path, the blueprint for your life, the design for your life. Watch this. Builders build with a blueprint. I've been working on these designs for this Rhoda City project just because I got architect friends, so I can just call them to look what this gonna look like, and, uh, and they just draw stuff and put it together. Listen, let me tell you something. You can't build nothing without architectural plans, without a design. And when they design it, the next thing that has to happen, you take it to the city and they approve it and say the plans are finished. Before you lay one brick, pour one slab of concrete, what they have designed is already finished. Can I tell you something? Your life is already designed. It's already complete. You just got to get a look at the blueprint. So many times we're building outside of the blueprint and the design that God planned for us, but the apostolic mentality says, I'm not going to stop until I see his plan. And you know, you got to stop accepting plans that not of him. Are y'all with me? I don't want nothing that didn't come from God. I'm for real. I don't want no money that didn't come from God. I don't want no friends that didn't come from God. And so I'm submitting to you tonight, don't take what God didn't give you. If it ain't in the plan, don't build it. Because guess what? Once the city says this plan is approved, and you start building, you can't decide, okay, we got approved for 5 bedrooms. You can't go out there and talk to the contractor yourself and say, look, I need you to add 2 more bedrooms and a basement to this house. Now you've been to violate code, you're going to get fined. The house is finished. If you want to add a room and a basement, you got to go back to the architect. Get new plans, get it approved again. Your life is already approved. You already— there's already a blueprint about you and where you're going. You just gotta see it. Okay, y'all got that one? See, a lot of times we don't get this because Something sounds good and we run with it. Y'all remember this one I was talking about, that box of apostle stickers? Well, there's another box that's bigger than the apostle sticker. It's a box of God stickers that people will pull God's name out of this box and stick it on anything. That's God. Ain't prayed about it, that's God. Until meet a woman, oh, that's my wife, that's God. Meet a man, that's my husband, oh, he God. Until he go to bed looking like Billie Dee, wake up looking like E.T. Yeah, cuz, cuz you didn't pray it through. That's some of y'all said, who is Billy Dee? Yeah, Google it. Glory to God, he's the Denzel of the '70s. Glory to God. All right, it, it— so, but what you got to learn to do before you act on something, you got to— it's that if you got a blueprint thought process, you're gonna say, what did God say, before you ask, what should we do? Y'all got that? A lot of times we trying to figure out what to do and we ask what God said. What did God say? What do the plans say? All right, number 2 right now: apostolic mentality is dominion-oriented. Watch this. A person with an apostolic mind is obsessed with impact, influence, and territory. They are not obsessed with titles. Some people rather have a title and not the work. I'd rather see the manifestation of the work. If you never call me apostle, I want to see the manifestation of being apostolic. Are y'all hearing this? See, when you're dominion-orientated, other people see survival. A dominion mindset, an apostolic mindset, sees systems to subdue and change. See, we be trying to survive a system. Like someone, when Trump got elected, I'm moving out the country for 4 years. First of all, you ain't going out the country, you ain't got no money, so just stop saying that. And then you go out the country and come right back. Are y'all hearing this? You'll come right back because America is America no matter who in the White House. And if you ain't never been to no other country, those places are just for vacation. And most of the time when you go to these countries, all you see is the tourist parts. You go talk about you're gonna move to Jamaica, you ain't got enough money to live in Ocho Rios. You have to go to Kingston somewhere or Spanish Town, and you don't want to live there because that's a very poor country. Are y'all hearing this? So you, you got to decide that you ain't gonna be a survivor, but you're gonna take over. Said the woman, say, I'm not here to take sides, I'm here to take over. Number 3, write it down. This is another part of the apostolic mentality. It has governmental clarity. So apostolic mind thrives in order, structure, and alignment. Watch this, confusion is not tolerated. Oh, why? Number one, the devil is the author of confusion. And so when you get confused and you cause drama and confusion in your life and other people's life, listen, you, you will never build nothing because confusion blocks construction. You can't build if you got construction workers and everybody confused. The carpenter trying to lay bricks, the brick mason trying to do carpentry, the sheetrock drywall person— glory to God— trying to lay the foundation. Listen, that's a problem. Everybody's confused. You have to know your job. You got to know your purpose. You got to know where you fit. Said that. We said no more confusion. Okay, I'm almost done. Yeah, because confusion corrupts construction. It slows down the process. You need people around you as you're building your life dream who know who they are. Watch this. And who they are not. Cause the worst thing in the world is have people around you trying to be something they're not. Yeah, this mentality requires brutal honesty. Number 4, write it down: the apostolic mentality is an expansion consciousness because the apostolic thinker is always asking, how did this grow? Who else can we reach? What territory is next? What else are we going to build? Because it's always trying to expand and do more. Number 5, write it down: the apostolic mindset embraces responsibility over emotion. And just stay right there for me. Responsibility is two words: response and ability. And it means to respond to the ability that's in you. It's irresponsible if you're responding to ability you don't have. Are y'all hearing this? So if I showed up at praise team rehearsal and said, Pastor Jeffrey, you sing in background and just let me play. This praise team is going to be in trouble because I'm not responding to an ability that's in me. Now I could play an A-flat, E-flat, and transpose it, but that's going to be very limited because once something starts changing outside of my realm of teaching. Are y'all hearing this? I'm not going to serve the praise team any effective instrumentation because— and they're going to be frustrated because I'm out of place. Matter of fact, I can see my wife now. If you don't get out of here— are y'all hearing this? You got to respond to the ability that's in you. You have something unique and you gotta respond to it and do it. Guess what? When you, when you have responsibility over emotion now and you understand who you are, you prioritize the assignment over feelings. See, you can't have an apostolic mindset and not make apostolic emotional sacrifices. Are y'all getting something out of this tonight? You have to learn how to put your emotions to the side when you're doing work for God, because watch this, in the apostolic church, sometimes things may be said that bring correction. Sometimes correction can be hurtful. Are y'all hearing this? Because nobody wants to be corrected. Government can sometimes be hard, but it's causing you to grow. And sometimes you gotta push your feelings aside and say, okay, yeah, I still got an assignment. I'm hurting right here, I'm wounded, but I got to do what I'm called to do. Because you're accountable to God for that assignment. You can't be so mad at God that you don't show up in the world and be who you're called to be. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, last one. I'm, I'm gonna leave y'all alone. We're gonna get out of here. Number 6, last one. Because see, you gotta cause— let me just say that your emotions have to be submitted to the will of God. I won't say kill your emotions because really you can't be spiritual without being emotional. They're connected because that becomes a doorway into spiritual things. You can't stay there, it's just start, right? But you got to submit those emotions that they again are under the control and the auspices of the Holy Ghost. 'Cause the mission has to be dominant. The emotions have to be submitted. I hope y'all getting this. Number 6, last one, write it down. This is an apostolic mentality. It embraces warfare— watch this— through wisdom. The apostolic mentality understands that victory is not just is strategically enforced. You enforce victory through wisdom and strategy. You can't get strategy without learning strategy. My son, a junior again, very smart kid, man. I was sending him to chess camp when he was a little boy, and when I first started sending him, I was, whoa, whooping and tearing into pieces, man. But then he started learning strategies that his teachers were teaching him that I didn't know. So in order for me— and I'm like, this is my son, I can't let him keep beating me. So I started studying the stuff he was studying. See, the best way to learn strategy is not to mimic what somebody is doing. Watch it. Study what they do And then you study who they study. And then you study who they study studies. Now your strategy has increased and you are ahead of them. So what I did, I knew the people that were teaching him. In conversation, I found out who taught them and who they learned from. And I started studying them. Are y'all hearing me? I'm gonna tell you something. Nothing beats spiritual intelligence when it comes to dealing with the enemy. God knows the devil better than you. If you spend time with him, he'll show you his devices. That's why the Bible said we shouldn't be ignorant of Satan's devices. Are y'all here? Almost done. So when we approach this thing with wisdom, we don't have to force our way into nothing. Last scripture, 1 Corinthians 3:10. Put it up there. Yeah. According to the grace of God which was given to me as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation. This is the Apostle Paul saying, I'm a wise master builder. I wanted to read this just for context because because the word master builder in the Greek is architecton, and it means a one that designs or creates plans for building. Paul says, I'm a wise master builder. We have to become wise builders. We got to get the architecton down inside of us and operate in this apostolic mindset. See, watch this. When you look in contrast, first of all, a religious mindset— here we go— maintains tradition. That's all it wants to do. It never empowers. It just maintains tradition. Tradition is comfortable. Tradition feels good. Watch this. Tradition often gives the delusion and deception that is safe, when in reality it's stagnation. And anything not growing is dying. Are y'all hearing me? If it ain't growing, it's dying. Are you with me? So we can't maintain a tradition. We have to be open to whatever— to the grace that God wants to give so we can build like masters. Survival mentality— we talked about this, and I'm closing, don't worry, we're getting out here. It seeks preservation. How can I live through this? That's not the mindset of an apostolic thinker. Again, we're trying to conquer it. Then there's a consumer mindset. That seeks comfort. You buy everything in sight that makes you comfortable, that makes you feel good. Most of the world operate in the realm of consumers. Most Black people are responsible for 99% of the global distribution of products. We buy more than anybody else. Watch this, but we produce nothing because we're not wise master builders. So you got an apostolic mentality is a producer and not a consumer. I mean, we spend a lot of money, but folk that's always say they broke, black folk spend a lot of money. We'll stand in line to pay $500 for a pair of Jordans, and it'd be the only Jordan 500 they got. Don't make sense. Y'all hear me? With the apostolic mentality, we establish, we build, we produce dominion. We have to come to a place where we want to produce something other than good church. We got to show up in the world and we got to build. Everybody stand up. I hope y'all learned something tonight. My God. Just close your eyes and put your arms around yourself for a moment. Thank you, Jesus. Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, shift the paradigm of my mind, that I may think like you, that I may react like you, that I may feel like you. Say, in the name of Jesus, I ask you tonight to show me the design, the blueprint, the plans for my life. Say, in the name of Jesus, I'll take my place on the throne and I'll do what you've asked, in Jesus' name. Say, Father, I thank you that no weapon formed against my life can prosper. Say, I'm unique, I'm authentic. Say, I'm necessary. And my mindset will produce great results. Say, Father, I receive the mind of Christ, for you said it in your word, let the same mind be in me that was in Christ Jesus. So Father, I thank you for the mind of Christ. I'll look at the world through the mind of Christ. I'll look at my issues through the mind of Christ. I'll dominate and not depart. I'll be obedient unto death in the name of Jesus. Come on, if you believe what you just said, give God a praise in here. Come on, y'all can do better than that. Open your mouth. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, open, open your mouth for one moment, Pastor. No music. Come on, open your mouth, open your mouth. Come on, God is shifting your mind tonight. We're gonna get out of here, but open your mouth and praise him that the stinking thinking is being removed from your life. The negative word curses that were spoken over you, they're being broken off of you now in the name of Jesus. Come on, open your mouth in this place. Hallelujah! No more stinking thinking. Sheba katatabantaya. As a man thinks in his heart, so is he. You're going to think apostolic. Think like a dominionaire. Think like a ruler. Think like one of increase. Think like one with great power, great authority. Come on, open up your mouth! I decree over your mind tonight Hallelujah, that your mind is changed. And we serve notice on the devil. We send out a notice to Satan and all of hell's imps that your mind is changed. Somebody ought to tell the devil, I changed my mind. Glory to God, I don't think like I used to. I cast out every negative thought. I command you to be a dominion-level thinker, a dominion authority throne-level thinker. If you can think it, you can ascertain it. I hear you, God. God said, if I bring it to your mind, I'm God enough to bring it to pass. If I bring it to your mind, I have every resource you need to complete the assignment. And the Lord will say to you tonight, open up your mind if you're going to be thinking. I hear you, Holy Ghost. You might as well think big. The Lord said, if you going to be thinking, you might as well think big and stop trying to adjust your mind to small-thinking people. You cannot fit a 16x20 idea in a 3x5 mind. Stop trying to convince folk who cannot think on your level how big your God is and what God is able to do. They'll never understand it. Hey, Shakatabaya, we give you the glory, we give you the honor, we give you the praise, and we thank you for new mindsets in the name of Jesus. Come on, clap those hands and give God praise. You ought to praise God like your mind has changed. No more low thinking. Hallelujah! We gonna think with eagle thoughts. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Utamansiaya! We bless your name, God. We honor your name. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah. My God, tonight. Whoa, shakata. Think. I hear that, Lord. The Lord says, wake up and think. It's been with you all the time. If you think it, I'll do it. Shekota bandikasya. Align your thoughts with my will, with my blueprint for your life, and I'll bring it to pass. Thank you, Jesus. We're going home, y'all. We love Jesus tonight. What a mighty God we serve. Thank you, Jesus. Vicki, what was that lady— yeah, God, lift your hands everybody. What was that lady's name that was with the other lady that was with you this morning? Terry. The Lord said, tell Terry, eshaku tabaya, that he's mending the brokenness in her heart. And even as I'm talking, there's chains just falling off of her. There's some things that have had her bound in the past. There's some recent hurt she's gone through, but God said he's taking every piece of her heart He said, Michael, tell Terry that I'm putting on— so y'all take this word to her. He said he's taking it piece by piece and he's restoring and putting things back together. God says she's entering into a season of a new beginning, and God said this new season shall trump every season of her life. He said, Michael, tell her that these are the best days of her life, and she is getting ready to soar. And God says her brokenness— hallelujah— will minister to many, for she's going to be a testimony to what I'm able to do. But God said, let her know I'm doing a new thing and it shall spring forth in her midst, says the Lord. Somebody praise God in this place. Hallelujah, hallelujah. We bless his name. Come on, worship her just a few moments. Ketaman de kosia. We bless you, God. It's in your presence, God. We love you. Thank you for your presence. There's fullness of joy, and at your right hand— if you're suffering with any kind of sickness, just put your hand anywhere on your body. There's healing and deliverance in this room tonight. Healing and deliverance is the children's bread. With his stripes tonight you are healed. I decree and declare that angels are being released now at my charge. If you're watching this online, you got sickness in your body, just touch yourself anywhere. God said tonight he's making you whole. He's making you whole. Be healed in the name of Jesus. Be delivered. Be set free in Jesus' name. We rebuke cancer. We rebuke tuberculosis. We rebuke diabetes. We say be made whole in Jesus' name. Receive it, said the Lord. Thank you, Jesus. We bless you, Lord. We going— I feel the Lord. Walk in a new dimension of thought. And I'm not talking about this New Age stuff, but think like the King. Align yourself with the King's mind, and great things shall happen but for you. Yeah, I hear that, Lord. Can I, can I pray for you real quick? Just for you. Come here, just come right here on this carpet. Lift your hands up. Lord, I thank you for this. The Lord said by the time you get back to Florida, he said to tell you a new peace is going to greet you. God said he's real. Matter of fact, while I'm talking, there are some things that are accumulating in the spirit realm, and God says, I'm pulling it all together for you. The rest of this year shall be filled with clarity. The confusion is going to leave. Matter of fact, that cloud I saw this gray cloud over your head, like a thundercloud, but God said he's causing the cloud to roll away even as I'm talking, and you're about to see things clearly. He's ordering steps and creating new direction, and yeah, he's even in your family pulling things together. So Father, we thank you for this daughter. Thank you for her future. Thank you for clarity. And I release clarity where there'll be no ambiguity, there'll be no doubt, no fear. Sensitize her ears to hear what you'll say to her in the days to come. Thank you for ordering her steps, for the steps of a good or ordered by God. A good woman ordered by God. Thank you that you're ordering her steps in your word. And yeah, he told me to tell you he hadn't changed his mind about you. There's some things as a young woman that were in your heart, some things that you kind of put on the back burner. God said you cannot let those dreams go. They must live. They must live. Your hands are blessed. Your mind is blessed. Let him get the glory out of your life. He said soar. You gotta leave all the chickens because they cannot ascend to where you are. As an eagle, you have to keep condescending But God said you're going to now fly and soar with a new level of clarity and vision. He's refining— pa-su-raba, pa-setu-ska— vision in your life, and he's making all things clear and all things new. In the name of Jesus, peace in the mind, and we praise you for it now in Jesus' name. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yeah, just receive it. I just hear him saying this to you: it's a new season, and the dry seasons have come to an end. Thank you for the new season, God, in Jesus' name. And as your presence now fills this place, eh, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, ma, and hold the We are Temple.
Temple, we give you reverence. Arise to your rest and be blessed, and be blessed by our praise, by our praise, as we glory, as we glory in your embrace. As your presence, as your presence now feels this place.
Father, we thank you for your word tonight. Thank you for your presence. Thank you for your power. Thank you for allowing us to see as you see. I pray for the spirit of responsibility over this people and the spirit of revelation that will use wisdom to take responsibility, and it will usher us into rulership, and we'll sit on thrones that we thought we'd never sit on. In Jesus' name. Hallelujah! Clap your hands, everybody!
Give God praise!
Yes, Lord! We're going— we're going to give really quickly. Get your best offering tonight and let's give unto Jesus. Those of you that are online, somebody type in the comments on the live streams the ways to give. Please do not use PayPal. Uh, we're going to change that this week. It has to be done. PayPal charges way too much fees, and then there's something always wrong with it. So we're going to just totally bow out gracefully of PayPal. Glory to God, we need it every dime. Glory to God, we don't need to give them no more than they listen, it's— than they deserve. Glory to God, it's too much. We bless him. So get your seed, whatever that is. Give God a sacrifice tonight. The ways to give should be on the screen. We give God praise. Multiply the seed sown, God, a thousand times more. And we bless you. Every seed sown, God, tonight, multiply thousand times more. We declare we don't lack a thing, neither do we have a care, but all of our needs are met in this church and in the lives of your people. Thank you that every need is met, God. We don't lack nothing, and we bless you for it. In Jesus' name, amen. Somebody— I was online, so to see this morning, I didn't know who it was. Was. I asked Felicia, does she know who the person was? And just somebody that was watching, but they planted a seed of $298. And I just want to release the blessing of the Lord over you, man of God, wherever you are. I command that seed to go back to you a thousand times more. Every giver that's given online— the Bible said we communicate spiritual things and you should communicate natural things. Glory to God. And as you sow, you know, the blessing of the Lord is released. So thank you, thank you, all of you, for your giving. Glory to God. Is there any announcements? We're going home. Y'all stand. Y'all blessed tonight. Glory to God. We bless Praise the name of the Lord. Hallelujah. We give him the glory. Jesus. We bless you, God. As we glory in your embrace, and as your— now feels this Father, we thank you for this service tonight. And as we leave this place, may your spirit go before us, make our way smooth, successful, and prosperous. God, we thank you that what's to come is better than what has been. And we thank you for apostolic mentality, and we declare that we will think in new dimensions and we will see those dimensions manifested in our life. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. Y'all drive safe. I love y'all. Y'all be blessed.
