Sing to your King. Jehovah is your name. Jehovah is your name. Hallelujah.

Jehovah is your name. Jehovah is your name. Mighty Warrior, Mighty Warrior, sing it.

Great in battle, great in battle.

Jehovah, hey, your name, your name.

Come on, Mighty Warrior, he's great in battle. Jehovah is your name. Come on, I need you to open your mouth. Everybody in this building, clap your hands and give Jehovah praise. Come on, he's Jehovah Jireh, he's the Lord your provider. Come on, he's Jehovah Tsidkenu, he's the Lord your sanctifier. He's Jehovah Makkaddish. He's the Lord your righteousness. He's Jehovah Shalom, the Lord your peace. He's Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your healer. He's Jehovah Rohi, the Lord your shepherd. He's Jehovah Gabbar, the Lord your warrior. I dare somebody that needs God to heal that needs God to provide, that needs God to make a way, that needs God to open a door, that needs God to fight a battle, to open your mouth and give him glory. Oh, this ain't entertainment. David said, I come inside, I enter his gate with thanksgiving, I enter his court with praise. I will say, which means it's demonstrative. You got to do something. Not we say, you say. I will say that this is the day that the Lord has made, and I will rejoice and be glad in it. Come on, open up your mouth and give God praise. Hallelujah! Praise him till you feel better. Praise him till he opens the door. Praise him till he makes a way out of no way. Praise him till he heals your body. Praise him till your children are saved. Praise him, praise him, praise him. Open your mouth. We bless your name, we bless your name, we bless your name. Eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard, neither has it been revealed in the heart of men the good things that Jehovah has prepared for you. I dare somebody, bless him in advance for the good things. Hallelujah! Jehovah is his name. They tell me that name is powerful. They tell me— and the name of Jesus fulfills every redemptive name of Jehovah. So if you can't say Rapha or Teshuvah or Makadesh, all you got to do is cry Jesus. There's power in that great name. There's deliverance in that great name. There's breakthrough in that great name. There's a way through and there's a way out in that great name. I wish I had a Jesus people, somebody to rap back like the old preacher and cry Jesus. I ain't got no Jesus people. It's his saving name. It's his delivering name. It's his breakthrough name. Open your mouth. Jehovah is his name. Mighty warrior, great, great in battle. You keep losing battles because you're trying to fight them yourself, but I dare you, turn the battle over to the one that's mighty in battle. And as a matter of fact, he never lost a battle. You keep getting defeated because you're doing it in your own strength. You're moving in your flesh. But he's the mighty warrior, he's great in battle. Jehovah is his name. He's the mighty warrior, he's great. Jehovah, Jehovah, your name Lift your hands and sing and say, mighty warrior, mighty warrior.

Sing, great, great Jehovah is your name, is your name.

Thank you for every battle you fought and won for me, God. Mighty warrior. He's great. Jehovah is your name. One of my best friends in the world is in the hospital right now, non-responsive, fighting for his life. But in the name of Jesus, I declare Jehovah is a mighty warrior. Jehovah is his name. And no matter what you're going through today, he's mighty in battle. Why won't you turn it over to Jesus? You're the mighty Mighty warrior, great in battle. Jehovah is your name.

May we be an altar of flesh that you may visit us. And purify us and make us better and make us stronger and do great things in our lives. And we give you praise for it, we give you glory for it. We makrograph you, we supplement you, God. We declare you're bigger, you're greater than everything, and Jehovah is your name. And you're the mighty warrior, and you're great in battle. Hallelujah!

Jehovah is your name. Father, anoint your word and may we experience the light illumination and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost. In Jesus' name, we praise God, for this is the day the Lord has made. Amen. And we shall rejoice and be glad in it. Y'all glad to be in the house of the Lord? Amen. Give God praise. I don't know about you, but I was glad when they said to me, let us go into the house of the Lord. Amen. This morning, really quickly joyfully. I'm going to dive into the word. Uh, get your Bible, go to Luke chapter 5, or whatever device you use for a Bible. Glory to God. And, uh, we're going to begin at verse number 1. We're still in our series on confidence. Glory to God. And just before we read, I want to review some of the things that we have said. Glory to God. First of all, confidence is the ability to undertake any task. Say, any task, knowing that you are able and acceptable to accomplish the task at hand. Touch your belly and say, I'm able and I'm acceptable to accomplish anything in God. Matter of fact, the scripture says, I can do 'Let's just stop right there for a minute.' I can do, which means you can do it. You can do it. Not he do it, you can do it. He said you can do all things through Christ that strengthens— stenos in Greek— that gives you confidence. So there's nothing that stands before you that you can't conquer as long as you're working in him. Matter of fact, we read a scripture last week, I think on Thursday night we read it. That nothing shall stand before you all the days of your life. God said that to Joshua. So if you walk in confidence, there's nothing that can stop you. Matter of fact, say that with me. Say, I'm unstoppable. I'm unstoppable. And watch this. You gotta believe that for real. It can't just be words. You gotta believe that you can't be stopped. As long as you're operating in God's plan, God's purpose, and he's with you, There's no entity, no witchcraft, no goofy dust, no chain ladder, no words that can stop who you are. Say that with me. Say, I'm unstoppable. And so these last few messages we've talked about really putting confidence in yourself as you work with God. It's impossible to believe what God can do through and in you if you don't believe in yourself. You got to believe in who you are. The church has a serious identity crisis. We think all we were created to do was show up in here and fall on the floor and jump and shout and speak in tongues. All those things are okay in their place, but we're also called to show up in the world with confidence and authority and take dominion. Matter of fact, that's the first thing he said to man— have dominion. That— listen, the reality is he ain't changed his mind. Dominion is not Plan B, it's still Plan A. Okay, say it with me. Say dominion is not Plan B, it's still Plan A. So I'm trying to stay back there, so when y'all don't get quiet, I'm gonna come up here and get close to you. All right, so I want you to understand something. God ain't changed his mind about it. He don't want us just to have good church, to build a large church, to have masses of people, and we keeping this out of here. And then we don't control systems in medicine, we don't control systems in economics, we don't control systems in media. We ought to be controlling everything. Y'all getting it? We ought to be controlling education. We ought to be controlling politics and government. The reason we sit around and complain about the president is because we ain't praying to see if God has called you to run for president. Everybody too busy trying to get the mic and want to be a preacher. Y'all ain't saying nothing, but it's some kingdom people that God needs to put in public office. So the world will be ran with peace and in alignment with God's will. Are y'all here? All right, so I'm gonna go back here. We're gonna try it again now. Y'all talk to me, we'll get through. Glory to God. So, so this morning, because again we've covered confidence in you being free to be yourself, and one of the things I said— and I'm gonna hit this and I'm gonna— we're gonna get into today An unbeliever with confidence, right, can accomplish more than a believer without confidence. And that's big because if you look at the world today, it seems like it's happening because you got a lot of people say they saved but are accomplishing very little. And at the end of the day, we got to take our rightful place and stop having just holy hands and empty pockets, holy hands and no authority. It's not God's will. Y'all hear? So this morning I want to talk about confidence in his word. So if you got confidence in yourself, now you can put confidence in what his word says. You got faith in the gifts that's in it. And when you start putting confidence in the word, things in your life change. So let's walk through Luke chapter 5. We're gonna go through, I think, about verse number 6, and we're gonna stop, maybe 7. We're gonna walk through this verse by verse. The Bible says, and it came to pass— let me stop right there. Whenever you read that, it came to pass in the Bible, that means it's history. And it came to pass means this actually happened. It's a historical event that occurred. Can I prophetically release to you this morning that God is shaping your life and weaving a tapestry, that you'll get to a point in your life that you can declare, and it came to pass? I don't know about you, but there's some prophecies over my head that I ain't seen come to pass yet. Oh, there's some things God spoke to me personally that I ain't seen come to pass yet. Now there are some things I can stand here and tell you, and it came to pass. God told me when I got— before I got married to my wife, that when I got married again, that I'll be happier than I ever been. And I— and I'm telling you, and that he was going to give me a woman that could have the grace to operate with me and be one in mind and spirit with me. And I could stand here today and tell you it came to pass. Are y'all hearing this? And that's just a few of the things— that's one of the many things that have come to pass. But I still got some promises. Is there anybody here still got some promises? And I want to prophesy to you this morning that God is getting ready to open up a window window, open a door, and you're going to be able to declare, "And it came to pass." You heard the word, you received it, you believed it, you've been moving in obedience to it. God says, "I'm about to give you an 'and it came to pass.'" Now watch this, this is the right season for that kind of manifestation because on September 24th, the Hebrewic year is going to change from 5783 to 5784. 5786. And 5786, because the Hebrew letter for the numbers of 5786 is a symbol that looks like a hook. And God says it's going to be the season of divine connections. It's going to be the season of divine manifestation. That though— oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing. I'm telling you, in just a few days, as 5786 comes, God says, I'm gonna connect you with the right people in the right places. I'mma open up doors. Glory to God. I'mma bring balance to your life where things have always been tough. Lord, I got a few people that's been going through, but God says, I'm about to hook you up. He said, what I've been doing for the last 9 months, I've been hooking stuff up in the spirit. I've been putting stuff together, and now you about to see the manifestation of what I promised. Somebody ought to shout, and it came to pass! And it came to pass— let me calm down, put my mic on— and it came to pass that as the people pressed upon him to hear the word So this is history. They pressed upon him because he was speaking the word of God. The word press here means that in spite of their personal circumstances, they made it a priority to hear God's word. We must— if we going to have confidence in the word, we got to make it a priority to hear God's word. All the other stuff that happens in church, it, it's a clip, about our old clip, about 25 years old, of Bernard Ash, where he's saying worship is more I love Bernard Asher. I loved him when he was alive. Great preacher. But I respectfully disagree with that because after you get through worship, your greatest expression of worship is your lifestyle that you live out in the world. It's still worship, but you need the word to know what you are doing. You can't even worship correctly without the word. Matter of fact, every act of worship should be based in the Word. So no matter how many songs we sing, those songs should line up with the Word. We shouldn't sing songs just because they sound good, got a good hook or a good beat, but they should align with the Word of God. So we gotta Begin now to make the word a priority. I know this, and you— I know you're gonna say, well, Apostle, they didn't have no internet then. But for you home watchers, I just need you to understand, they didn't— they weren't looking for a way they could stream it to they shack or they lake or wherever they were living. The Bible said they went where Jesus was, and sometimes me? It's not easy, but you got to make it a priority to get where the word is being taught. Well, it— why, sometimes it's a press to go where the word being taught and to not go where the word ain't being taught, because people have emotional attachment to places where ain't no word being taught. Well, my great-great-grandmama was a member here, and all that preacher doing is giving you 3 points and a hoop every time you get up. You ain't learning nothing. Telling you how to keep your blood pressure down, how to eat right. Listen, we need, we need the word of God so we can live. Watch this. They pressed to hear Say hear. We know hearing is an act of the ears, correct? Now this Greek word means a-k-o-u. It's a-k-o-u, which means a full listening, to listen with the intent to receive what they heard. It's where we get words like acoustics. Where acoustics are great, sound is clear. So Jesus was teaching a clear word. He was not teaching something that, oh, you got to scratch your head and figure it out. He was teaching word that you can practically apply, that you could take it and use it in your everyday life. Say acoustics. See, you need a preacher that's not just popular. You need a preacher that's got good acoustics. That can give you clarity so that when you leave the building, you could take what he said and not be saying, oh, the pastor sure did preach. And then somebody asked, well, what'd he preach about? I don't know, but he sure preached good. You don't need that. That's entertainment. I took my little grandbaby to State Farm Arena to see this Disney show she wanted to see so bad. And it was very entertaining. I was entertained watching it because anything Disney does, they're gonna do it in excellence. But if you would have asked me 10 minutes after I got out the door what any of the songs was, what any of the characters was, I couldn't have told you. But I enjoyed myself while I was there. Watch this, it added nothing to my life. The only thing that was added to my life was time with my grandbaby. I got nothing out of the concert. What you don't want to happen is go to church and all you do is get hype and you get nothing out of it. I'm not saying church don't need to be enjoyable. What I am saying is it needs to be a priority on what's important, and what's important is the word. Watch what it says here: they press to hear the word of God. I want you to pay attention to this word, word. The word word here is logos. Logos is where we get words like logic. So they press to hear the logic or the intellectual capacity of God. So when you come to church, watch this, you ought to be able to take for granted that the preacher has spent time with God, and what he is speaking or she is speaking to you is not his or her personal logic. Are y'all here? I need somebody to hear from God. Somebody sent me an invitation to a conference because I'm friends with the person. He's having a meeting, and I looked at the flyer. I said, I ain't going to that. So as I looked, I just know I'm not gonna waste my time because I know every speaker. I'm not gonna call their name because if I call each one, you know who they are. First of all, one is clearly one of the— okay, I'm Can I say it, Lord? Yeah, I can say it. One of the biggest lesbians in the whole body of Christ, but popular. I'm not going to go sit and listen to that. She popular, but she a lesbian. Secondly, and then I'm— what I don't understand, why you ain't got no sense to see what these people walking in and you keep putting them up before your people? And all the people connected to you. Secondly, the other dude, I said, okay, he definitely is totally carnal. Super popular but very carnal. I mean, so much flesh in everything he does, and he does it all over the internet. And I'm like, why would I take— I know I ain't gonna hear from God because these people are gonna preach what they want to preach and what's popular. When I go to church, I need a word. I want to be challenged to be better. I want— if there's something in my life that's not like God, I want to go higher. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. I want to be challenged out of my comfort zone. Are y'all here? So don't— you can't waste your time on junk. They pressed to hear the mind of God. You got— preachers shouldn't— watch this. Okay, let me, let me go here, cuz most preachers this hour, they use ChatGPT and AI to create their sermons. ChatGPT should not be a replacement of you. Let me just hit that right quick. ChatGPT should not be your extinction, it should be your enhancement. It's a tool you can use to work for you. I have created an assistant out of my AI, so I make it do work that an executive assistant would I've taught it what I want. I've taught it my identity. So when I tell it to do something, it's not replacing me, it's enhancing and making the workload easier. And when it comes to preaching, I never use it because I need to hear from God. Preachers need to take this job seriously. Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me because your soul is the most valuable thing you have. What does it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? I can write you a check for a million dollars right now. It wouldn't do you no good if I put in your hand, you went to the bank and cashed it, and you died tomorrow and went to hell, because your soul has more value than what money can buy. And you need a word to keep your soul confident in the hand of God. And listen, in times like these, if you don't have a word, you'll start listening to CNN, you'll stop listening to Fox News and ABC News, and you'll start guiding your life by what they say. Say, I need a word from the Lord. I gotta go. He said they pressed to hear the logos. Of God as he stood by the lake of Gennesaret. Now, that's all in one verse. I don't— took so much time in one verse. We're gonna get through this though. But watch this. He said they stood by— I want you to hear this— the lake of Gennesaret. Gennesaret in Greek is a musical term that means harp. Are the strings used to pull on the heart of God. So word— so watch this, the preacher I was talking about earlier, he ain't totally out of order when he says worship is important, but word and worship go hand in hand. You need to be in a place where you can pull on the heart of God. Now watch this. Our praise team is great. They have learned and they love God enough that they know that their job is to take you into the presence, not to entertain you. Now what you do with that is up to you. You could choose to— oh, they show something good— and just sit back, or you could lift your hands and engage Because you're only gonna get out of worship what you put in. That's why when Sheree up here praying, they singing, y'all hear me, I don't care if it's out of key, I'm gonna pray, I'm gonna holler, because I'm going after God for myself. I'm not even thinking about nobody else. I'm trying to get God, because at the end of the day, we ought to be a harp in the spirit. A harp is a heavenly worship instrument. Instrument. And if you ever heard one played correctly and you got any ounce of Holy Ghost, something in you begins to stir. I mean, every time I hear one, I come to tears because that instrument moves the heart of God. That's what worship should do. It should pull on the heart of God so that God gets up off the throne and say, what's going on over there? I like this. And then he descends on it, and people get healed, people get delivered, people get free. But when you settle for just a hymn that has no anointing— the deacon on his knees, 'A charge to keep I have, God to glorify'— ain't no anointing on it. Now I've seen some deacons do that with some anointing, and I've seen people get free while they singing them hymns, because the Bible do say sing hymns Spiritual songs, Psalms. So it does tell us to sing hymns, but it needs to be some anointing on it that pulls the heart of God. Kwai come out with them big robes, they need anointing. Big robes and hot, can't hardly get in the spirit and sing because them robes got them Praise God. Okay, we're gonna keep moving. Somebody said, leave my choir and them robes on. I like to see the choir in the robes, just looks majestic. Okay, and great, but let it be anointed. All I'm saying, let it pull on the heart of God so that God infiltrates the space and things happen. Verse number 2, let's keep reading. So I have confidence in the word of God. Come on, say it again. Somebody says, I have confidence in the word of God. And watch this. Jesus said, and Jesus saw two ships standing by the lake, but the fishermen were gone out of them and were washing their nets. This says something about perspective. Say perspective. And when I'm— and I'm talking about God's view of you. He's always watching you no matter what's going on. You had crowds of people pressing him. You may think what's going on with you is insignificant, but the Bible said out of all the crowd that was pressing, he saw two ships, just two, that was that. And then people were quitting. This is what stood out to me. Me, Pastor Jeffrey. They were quitting and washing their nets. They were like, I'm done fishing. God is attracted to your dilemma. He wants to help. Watch this. As a matter of fact, he wants to use it to get glory. You'll really never know what God can do through and in you till you understand what you cannot do without him. These two men were fishermen, professional fishermen. God— and we're gonna see this in a minute in the text— caused them to fail in what they did best so they would know that they wouldn't do nothing without his help. A lot of the stuff you're dealing with is God testing your faith, trying to let you know you can't do nothing without me. Listen, there are some people that can get away with stuff you can't. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. I look— don't say I'm looking at that flyer and say these people popular, they've been preach to 6,000, 7,000 people. And Lord, I'm just— what's wrong with all of them? Y'all gotta talk to me here. And the Lord says, they can get away with that, but you can't, because I got a different kind of assignment for you. Are y'all hearing me? And you look at how others prosper and it seems like it's hard for you, but God says, I'm trying to teach you that you can do nothing without me. You can't even— my God, you can't even wake up in the morning without him. You thought it was that clock or your phone or your watch. It was him. You can't take a bath without him. It was a mother in my Mississippi church one time, she used to tell me, she said, 'Apostle, I pray before I do everything.' I said, 'Mother, that's good.' I thought that was going to be the end of the conversation. She went on the list, everything she prayed before she do. I didn't need all that information. I'm gonna leave that to your imagination, some of the stuff she told me. I never looked at Mother like the same again. But what I did was I had a respect for her prayer life. She said, listen, before I pick the color I'm gonna wear— and listen, this is the minor other thing she said— she said, before I pick the color I'm gonna put on my body, I ask God. And if God says blue, I put on blue. Whether it's a skirt or pants, I talk to God about it. She said, I don't move until I spend time with him. And her main thing was, because I can't do nothing right— because you can do something without him, it just ain't gonna be right. And watch this, you can't do it in full confidence because you don't have his support, because it wasn't from him. Say that with me. I can do nothing without him. Say, I need him in every aspect of my life. Now watch verse 3. He says, and he entered into one of the ships which was Simon's and prayed him that he would thrust out a little from the land. So that's interesting, right? Jesus doesn't ask to use this boat. A lot of people preach this and said Jesus asked. He didn't ask. The Bible says he entered into the ship and, and already knew it was his to use. You know why? Because everything belongs to him. He understands that he's God incarnate. It's a covenant, it's an authority. He steps in, said, this is available for my assignment. He walks in. You gotta know who's assigned to operate with you in what you're called to do. You gotta know who's called to partner with you. And instead of asking them for their help, just show up and say, we're about to get this done. That's what Jesus did. Jesus said, listen, I know it's your ship, but listen, I just need you to thrust it. Y'all done quit, about to go home. Put this boat back in the water. Which says to me, in order to change the condition, you got to change your position. See, you can be in a condition so long, keep going through the same thing, but you keep going through it because your position hadn't shifted. And God says, okay, I want you to change your position. I want you to get off of this bank. You don't quit. I want you to get back in the water. Because I'm going to show you what I'm able to do. The challenge so many times is making a change, is doing something different, because we've been conditioned to do things a certain way so long. So we're challenged when we got to come to new levels of worship. Watch this, when we got to tolerate an hour of teaching that don't end with, um, when we got it, when we, when we, when we got to tolerate teaching, sometimes that's hard. And don't get it wrong, I love to preach, but if I'm preaching, I didn't already talk, because my preaching ain't for you. I'm gonna say it again, my preaching, when I'm closing a message and I'm preaching, it's because I'm giving it to God. It's one of the ways I praise God. It's one of my expressions. But I— you better believe I done already gave you what you need. Are y'all hearing this? Because it's important that you understand versus be entertained. Are y'all hearing this? In all you're getting, get an understanding. So the preacher can't give you an understanding then where you gonna get it from? And my job, every time I stand up, whether it's here, when I'm traveling, wherever I'm preaching, is to give people understanding that will thrust them further, that to help, to help them change the position of their mind so that the condition of their life will change. If you change your mind— are y'all hearing this? The condition will shift. Oh God, when Apostle McClendon's wife reached out to me yesterday and said that he was in the hospital, my first reaction was faith. While, while, while people can look at the situation, say it's over, that's not how I work. My mind is in the place— no, God's gonna raise him up again. I saw God raise him up before, I'm gonna believe God to do it again. And if God chooses not to do that, then that's none of my business. But my job is to move in confidence and faith and on what the word says. And my word to her: move every negative thing from around him. No negative words over him, because all you need in this season is faith. Somebody believing that God is able. Watch this. When you, when you are in trouble, when you're going through, and you, or even when you're just trying to grow and be better, you don't need people around you that can't see like you see. Watch this. You got a 16 by 20 dream, a 16 by 20 vision. You got big things you want to do with your life, and you sitting around wasting your time trying to make somebody with a 3 by 5 mind understand it. You cannot do it. They're never going to get it. They're never going to see what you see. And you'll always be frustrated trying to tell them what you want to do. No, you got to find you some other folk who want to do what you want to do, who have the same kind of mindset. Can I submit to you prophetically this morning? You are Eagle. Eagle soar. They soar high above problems and trouble. Are y'all hearing this? Everything an eagle does, they do it in the air. Even an eagle even mates with his partner in the air. An eagle don't even come down to make love. They make love in the air, in a free fall, and then they come apart. So I'm trying to understand why some of us will come down just to do that. But if you're an eagle, you only operate at high heights. Watch this. An eagle's vision is both telescopic— first, telescopic vision is the ability to bring things far close. Are y'all hearing this? So if it's far away, an eagle can see what is far as if it's right in front of him. An eagle's vision is also microscopic. Which means he could take what's small and see the greatness in it. Some people can't see greatness in small because they never built anything, and all they do is latch on to stuff that's already built. But when you can walk in a room like this and you got microscopic vision, you can see where this is going. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. When you're in the spirit, you can understand that this is not designed to stay like this, that God has bigger plans. Because you could take what is small and see the big in it. I've had somebody say before, oh, your church just ain't big enough for me. I need to be a place where I can network and get my business cards out. See, you go to church for the wrong reason anyway. And you don't understand, if God's calling you to be a part of something grassroots, something that's going to make a change in the world indefinitely, that can never be erased, never be removed, you can see that in its small state when you are Eagle. Here's the problem, Pastor Jeffrey. We have too many chickens in the body of Christ. Chickens are birds that live on the ground. They will defecate and eat their own poop. Are y'all here? The nasty birds. Must the church love chicken? Y'all didn't even know that. Y'all love chicken so much they named a restaurant after y'all, Church's. I'm telling you, y'all don't believe it. I'm telling you right now, because church love— y'all love that bird. All the way back to the children of Israel, God said, let me feed these church folk. He let quail come out the sky, chicken. But it's a nasty, low-thinking bird. Are y'all hearing this? And when you're an eagle, you can't hang with chickens, okay? Because to hang with chickens, you got to condescend to even hang out with them. If you're an eagle, you got to come down so you can hang out with that chicken mind. Are y'all hearing this? But if you really understand it, that chicken can never come to to your height. He can't soar like you. So you got to run with eagles. You got to soar with those that are going in the direction you got thrust from the land. Get out of your comfort zone and move in a confidence that's beyond what's comfortable to you. Say it again. Say, I trust the word. Y'all getting anything out of this so far? All right, let's go to verse 3. Well, we already did verse 3. Let's go to verse 4. Somebody said, 'Apostle, please don't do verse 3 at the end because we moving to a close.' All right, I got you, I got you. Verse 4, he says, he says, 'Now when he had left speaking—' Wait a minute, wait a minute, I ain't finished verse 3. I felt somebody pushing me, that's why. Uh-uh. 'He entered one of the ships'— that's all I read— 'which was Simon's, and prayed that he would thrust a little from the land.' And here's a B clause. And he sat down. What'd he do? For those of you that think teaching is boring, he taught the people. Watch this, from their shifted position. In order to receive teaching, you got to have a paradigm shift in your mind that says, I want to be a learner. I want to receive. I say this all the time: in order to learn, you have to become the learner's position. You got to become that position, not take it. You got to become the position of a learner, which means your life should be built around receiving. And that's why you have to make sure you're in the right place receiving the right thing. I don't want to go to church and all you want to do is blow on me and put me on the floor. I love it. I mean, I mean, Benny Hinn can throw you with his— just wave his arm and you lift up and hit the back wall. That's great, but I need more than that. Are y'all hearing this? I need to be taught. I like the supernatural. I'm a product of the supernatural. I operate in the supernatural. But when we get through with that— so if it takes you 4 hours to do that to worship and get me on the floor. Listen, when we get through, I need you to still talk to me. Are y'all hearing me? I need you to still give me what I need. I'm not saying Benny Hinn don't do it, because Benny Hinn is a very balanced minister. I see Roz looking at me probably like, that's my preacher, don't you? She love Benny. And I just thought about it when I got mid-sentence. It was out there then. I'm sorry. But she was looking like, go, don't go too far, I'm gonna cut you. She had a hand. Don't you go too far talking about Benny. And I probably got one at home, is she a Benny Hinn fan too? She might— all right, Apostle, let up on Benny. I love Benny. All right, all I'm saying is we have to balance what's happening. We have to make sure that we don't make excuses like the Holy Ghost just moved. And we ain't get no word. I don't know if that was Holy Ghost. In the beginning was the Word. Word was God. Word was with God. So the Word got to be somewhere if Holy Spirit moved. I know, I know, it's good, it's good. Okay, we just didn't have time. Listen, the Holy Ghost take us 4 hours. In deliverance and all that, guess what? He still got something to say, because the whole agenda— didaskos in Greek— is to teach the word to those who are hungry to learn. That's the key. You got to be hungry to receive it. You can't effectively teach people who are not hungry. Oh God, I learned that in third grade. My third grade teacher, and I remember it, like it was yesterday. She used to come in there and say, I can't teach y'all math because y'all don't want to learn math. See, y'all, y'all do is come in here and talk and y'all complain. And she was— I guess she was just fed up. I remember her doing— she said, y'all complain, y'all fuss, y'all tell your parents on me because I'm— y'all say I'm mean, but I just want to teach you math. And as a little third grader, something hit me. I said, you know what, I'm gonna come in here and be quiet. 'Cause we was, we was bad. I mean, we would, this class was crazy. I'm talking, where are these people? I mean, we was crazy. We was some crazy little children. You know how y'all know, you know when children bad now. You already know your child gonna tear up the children church before you send them in there. I mean, like, just watch my baby. And the whole children church got burned down during service. You already knew that was gonna happen because they done burn up stuff at your house. But we were bad, man. We were— whoo! We fight loud, throwing stuff. We got in trouble every day. And that day she just got tired. She was yelling to the top of her voice, but if y'all want to learn math, I'll teach you. And when she said that, I sat there and said, I'm gonna learn math. And from that day forward, I learned math. And guess what? I became very good at math. Because I decided I was gonna receive the lesson. You have to make up your mind you want to learn. Touch yourself, say, I'm a learner. So I want to mature, so I want to grow. Hallelujah. So when they had left, when he sat down, he talked the people out of the ship. You got to be willing to yield your ship to teaching. No matter what ship it is, everybody's got a ship of some kind. You got to yield that light. That ship is indicative of a vessel that moves from A to B, from one place to another. It's an apostolic term, really. A ship is driven to carry cargo. The reality is your life carries cargo. It carries purpose. It carries gifts of the Spirit. But in order for those gifts to be effective, you got to yield yourself to the teaching that cultivates them. Are we here? Again, we live in our— everybody wants to be out front, but nobody wants to take the position of a learner. Verse 4: And now, now, somebody said now, when he had left speaking, or when he got through teaching, watch this. He said unto Simon, launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a draught. So anytime there's education, revelation, or information, there's always application. Revelation without application is constipation. If it's been revealed and you received it and you don't apply it, it creates constipation. Y'all looking at me funny. Y'all from Georgia, you know what constipation is. We eat all the wrong stuff and it creates constipation. It means you're backed up. It means you need a laxative. You need fiber. It means you're straining to release something that needs to come out of your body. When you don't apply spiritual principle that you learn, you make life hard. When you transgress against knowledge that you know, you make it hard. The Bible says the way of a transgressor is hard. Constipated, straining to make it work because we have not properly applied what we know. There are some areas in my life I was dealing with things probably about 6, 7 years ago, and I was like, Lord, I know better. He said, that's the problem, you know, and you're struggling right here because you're not applying what you know. He said, but if you apply what you know, this struggle will end. He said, matter of fact, if you apply what you know, you'll be positioned where money will never be an issue in your life ever again. Are y'all hearing this? I listened to those words and I started applying what I know. And guess what? I'm able now to live on the other side of money. Other side of money is when you go in the store and don't look at price tags, just in case y'all don't know what that is. It's when you go to a car dealership, you don't need the finance company. Y'all ain't saying much. You just pick out your car and you write a check for it. That's gonna clear. Okay, are y'all hearing this? That's the other side of money. Other side of money mean you could travel and go when you want to go. You ain't got to wait and save 40 years for a vacation. You, you too old to enjoy the vacation now. But God says if we apply what we know— are y'all hearing this— we can operate in a freedom and a confidence that everything works together for good. He said to these professional fishermen Get back out here and let your nets down for a drought. And here comes professional confidence. Verse 5: And Simon answered this— and by the way, Simon is Peter before he became Peter, always mouthy— he said, answered him, said, Master, look, yeah, we know you Jesus. We don't see what you do. We don't see you raise the dead. We don't see you work miracles. Yeah, Master, listen, you Jesus, we fishermen. We have toiled all night and we took nothing. In other words, you— how you gonna tell us to go out here and let our nets down for a try? We ain't got nothing. We 'Already did this.' How many times has the Lord challenged you to do something that you didn't understand the challenge, and you thought your way was pretty good idea because you knew in your flesh, 'Hey, this is what I know.' But God will challenge you beyond your comfort zone, beyond your intellectual capacity, beyond your professional ability to do things that only you could accomplish with him. He said, Master, we done did this and we took nothing. But here's what I like, he said, nevertheless. Anytime you read nevertheless in the Bible, it means that God's option is never less than yours. His option is always greater than yours. His— oh my God, what he decides is always better than yours. Sometimes we have to look at a situation, even if we feel it's better than what God's word say, and say nevertheless. Watch this, for people that don't tithe, you, you, even though you might think I need this 10%, I— so you make $2,000 a month, you say I need this $200. Now if you make $2,000 a month, you need to tithe. I'm gonna tell you right now, so you can get past $2,000 a month. Because, because you can't put the word in expectation for you if you don't obey. So you got to look at that check and say, nevertheless, because your option ain't lesser than mine. I could use this $200, but nevertheless, I'm gonna give it to you, God. Okay, all right, let me go somewhere else. Maybe it's some fellow watching and you say sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost. And you see a woman— because women don't put on clothes these days. I mean, women in the world, they just don't put on clothes. Me and my daddy was at my son's football game Friday night. These high school girls walk around half naked, all of them. And I'm like, the devil is alive. I mean, where are the daddies? Are y'all here? Where are the fathers of these little girls letting them come out of the house like this? And, and so, but, and then I said, you know what, the reality is there are predators around that are looking at these little girls and will try them because they showing everything. We have to be very careful. Watch this, because even if you saved, you have to be careful that you don't end up in a situation that you don't need to be in. And back to the fellow that's watching, I said, yeah, you there. Live or by replay, just because you see something don't mean you have to touch it. You got to get to a point where you say, nevertheless, she looked good, she smells good, she likes me, but nevertheless, your word says flee fornication. Oh, okay, all right. I know it makes you feel good, but you got to flee it because sex is reserved for married people. Okay, so what you got to do if you want to have sex? Hide. Just hide. That's the secret. If you really want to have sex, hide. Somebody said, what are you saying, Apostle? Yeah, you gotta hide. The Bible said he that finds a wife finds a good thing. You can't be found if you're not hidden. You can't find nothing not hidden. But if you're brazen and just out there saying, here I am, and you know— but if— listen, if it ain't for sale, take the sign off it. Hiding your purpose, hiding God's plan, hiding God's way for your life. Okay, I know you— don't scroll. I know y'all see your hand on the phone. Don't, don't do it. Stay right there, because at the end of the day, if you really want to be blessed, you got to do what come after the nevertheless. Nevertheless, at your word. Now watch this, this is a different word than logos. In the same text, he says nevertheless at thy rhema. So rhema, watch what it means. A lot of people throw this word around the body of Christ, and they kind of do it because they heard everybody else define it certain ways. They never really look at the definition themselves. It pays to study yourself. Rhema means to put the logic of God in proper grammatical expression. In other words, he was saying, we believe what you said about what was on God's mind from verse 1, because they pressed to hear what was on God's mind. He was able to clearly articulate. Now here's the revelation, because you're saying what God is thinking, that's what makes rhema revelation. But you still have to articulate in a way that people understand it. You can't articulate revelation and people are confused. You teaching it and I still don't know what you— okay, yeah. I need you to break that on down because at the end of the day, the reality is you got to get understanding. Are y'all here? So he says, nevertheless, I'm gonna take what you said to be true. I'm gonna base my confidence on Rhema, on what is spoken about what God is thinking. He said, nevertheless, at thy word I'll let down the net. Watch this. And when he had done this, when he obeyed— say, I must obey the word. James said, don't just be a hearer of the word, but you got to also be a doer. So when they obey what God said— see, if you want to be blessed Obedience is not an option. Taking confidence in what God says is not something that can be negotiated. You got to choose to trust his word. The Bible said when they did this, they enclosed a great multitude of fish— Lord have mercy— and their net break. They got so many fish in the net Are y'all hearing this? That the net exploded. They didn't have enough to hold all the harvest that was coming in. Now you may be wondering, now how is it these professional fishermen who fished in this same lake, hallelujah, all the time and took great harvest, on this particular day they fished all night and took nothing. Let me tell you what the Lord showed me, because God has the ability to not only communicate with man, he all has the ability to communicate with all creation. And God said, I talked to the fish because I asked God, I said, God, how now these guys are professional, they fishing and ain't took one fish in? He said, it's because I talked to the fish and I told every school and dimension of fish in that lake to position themselves directly under the boat. And everywhere they cast the net, they were missing fish because the fish were under the boat. And but when they obey God God released the fish and told them all to go in the net. And watch this— what would have took them all night, most Bible scholars said that they brought in this harvest of fish in a matter of 10 minutes. And the Bible says here that they brought in so much fish that they couldn't handle the load alone. They had to go get their partners, and their partners helped them bear the load. Can I submit to you today, when you move in confidence and you choose to trust the word— I dare you, hit somebody, just elbow them and say, 'I trust the word.' I got to get out of here. And you choose to do what God says, I'm telling you, there's going to be great harvest. You're going to have so much abundance that you're not going to have room to receive what God's getting ready to do. And I stopped by to tell you, stop walking in fear. I told y'all last week, God didn't give you that. He gave you power, he gave you love, and he gave you a sound mind. High five somebody and say, I'm not afraid of anything. Lord, I feel like preaching. I'm telling you, God's about to turn this thing around. Vicky is about to be on and popping. We're about to see harvest we never known. We're about to see things we never seen. God's about to move us to a place where all our cars will be paid off, our houses will be paid off. He's gonna move us to a place of abundance. For the thief come not for but to kill and to steal and to destroy. But he said, I have come that you might have life. I dare somebody shout life and have it more abundantly. God is sending abundance and he's about to do a new thing. He said your net is about to break. He said you're about to move in overflow. You're about to not have just enough or not enough. God says, I'm moving you to more than enough. I'm about to take you to places you've never been. You're gonna see things with your eyes that you've never seen before. Your net is about to break. Clap your hands and say yes.

Yeah, yeah.

Oh my God. Hey, I got to go. Y'all stand. I'm done, I'm done, I'm done. I wish I had some net-breaking folks that wanted to see your net break. I hear that God I hear it, I hear it. When I count to 3, this is just strange right here, but there's a word in the Hebrew called shabach. We gonna practice obedience. And I heard the Lord say, for 2 minutes of screaming, 'cause shabach means a loud sound or shout that goes from your belly to God's ear. And I heard God say, for 2 minutes of shabach, for 2 minutes of screaming. See, you shout with your mouth, you dance with your feet. He said, for 2 minutes of shouting, He says, I'm gonna give you 2 years of harvest. I'm gonna count to 3. He said, I'm gonna give you 2 years of net-breaking overflow, but you gotta make up in your mind, I'm gonna obey and receive it. Yeah, I know this is strange, but if you want a ridiculous blessing, you gotta give him a ridiculous praise. You gotta give him radical and ridiculous worship, because what God's about to do ain't gonna make sense to your natural mind? One, when I hit 3, I want everybody to scream like you ain't got no sense. Are you ready for net-breaking anointing? Anointing that destroys yokes? Anointing that lifts burdens? Anointing that opens doors? Two, are you ready for God to break you out of bondage? To cause you to be debt-free? Are you ready for power to flow in your ministry? To flow in your gift? Are you ready for provision like you've never seen it? Wide mouths open wide doors. I'll say that again. Wide mouths, I heard the Holy Ghost, will open wide doors. 3, open your mouth and scream. Come on, scream. Come on, scream. 2 minutes of screaming. Scream till you're healed. Scream till you get a husband. Scream till your business prospers. Scream till you get a million dollars. Scream till you're debt-free. Scream till he makes a way out of nowhere. Open your mouth and scream, Shabbat! Oh, come on, one more minute, one more minute. Two years of screaming for two years of harvest. Open your mouth, scream, scream! Yeah! Oh God! We cry out, we cry out, we cry out, we cry out.

Oh, oh, oh.

20 more seconds. Till he makes a way. Scream! Till he blesses your family. Scream! Etabasaya! Your nets are about to break. Your nets are about to break. Come on, open your mouth! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Now give him praise, now give him praise. 2 years of harvest, 2 years of harvest, 2 years of harvest, 2 years of harvest. We give you glory, we give you honor, we exalt your name, we lift you high, we bless you, God Jehovah Jireh, our provider. Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our banner. Because of you, we uphold a bloodstained banner. Because of you, we are alive. We are blessed. We're blessed in the city. We're blessed in the field. We're blessed when we come and when we go home. We are blessed. I need some blessed people to give God crazy praise. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, open your mouth. Open your mouth. The nets are breaking. I see it in the realm of the spirit. God is breaking your nets. He's— oh my God, this also means he's canceling your ability to do it on your own. This blessing will come straight from heaven. This blessing will be a heavenly overtake. Open your mouth. Thank you, Jesus. Lift those hands, lift those hands. 2 years of harvest. I heard you, God. God said to tell you your garden is gonna grow. He said, you've been sowing and your garden is gonna grow. You've sown in tears and you shall reap in joy. Your garden is gonna grow. You've been through hell and high water, but you're coming to the season where your garden It's going to grow. Hope you are ready. Your garden's going to grow. I hope that you are ready. Your garden's going to grow. Your garden's gonna grow. Your garden's gonna grow. I hope that you are ready. Your garden's gonna grow. Your garden's gonna grow. Yes, it is. Your garden's gonna grow. I hope that you are ready. Your garden's gonna grow. Touch yourself and say, this garden's gonna grow. This garden's gonna grow. Lord, I'm ready. Yes, Lord, my garden's gonna grow. Yes, Lord, it's prophecy. My garden's gonna grow. Yes, God, my garden's gonna grow. Hope that you are ready. Oh, Shia, my garden's gonna grow. Listen, this garden's gonna grow. This church gonna grow. Yes, it is. This garden's gonna grow. Hope that you are ready. This garden's gonna grow. Yes, it is. I see it, Lord. This garden's gonna grow. This garden's gonna grow. Yes, Lord. I hope that you are ready. This garden's gonna grow. Father, I thank you for every person on the sound of my voice. Thank you for your anointing, Jesus. I thank you for the spirit of confidence. May it be stirred in this room like never before. May your power, God, be in be the very influence that fuels our life. May we trust your word above everything. God, I thank you for a hunger to press toward the word. On Thursdays, press toward the word. When we have special meetings, press toward the word. God, in the name of Jesus, putting the word as priorities in our life, even on Sundays. God, And Father, even as your people press, continue to release what's on your mind. Continue to speak to your people what you desire, and we'll give you praise, God. Thank you, God, that we're falling in love with your word. We need a word from you, Lord, to soothe our doubts. And to give us direction, God, from above. Continue to speak to us. Continue to do great things through your word. Can you sing that for me? We need a word. We need— sing it, Felicia. Yes.

To soothe our doubts and cause the sun to shine, give us peace of mind. Speak, Lord. Speak, Lord. Lord, we need a word, a word from the Lord.

Just one word, Jesus.

Just one word from the Lord. A word, a word from the Lord to soothe our doubt, to soothe our doubt and cause the sun, cause the sun to shine, to shine, giving us peace, and give us peace of mind. Speak, Lord, speak, speak, Lord, Lord.

Hallelujah. Father, we thank Thank you for your word. We receive your word. We're hungry for your word. We love you. Clap your hands, everybody, again, and give the Lord praise. I'm done. I pray you received today. You could be seated. Hallelujah. And cause the sun to shine, giving us peace of mind. Oh, speak, Lord, speak, speak, Lord. The Spirit of the Lord says to us today that the days have come where my word shall be your guidepost and my word shall be your foundation. I say unto you, my little ones, do not trust the sound of the age, but lend your ears to my voice and follow only what I say. For I say unto you to not follow the crowds but follow the cloud. And whenever my cloud moves and my word speaks, that is what you should do. For my word shall be your lamp post and your lighthouse, directing you into destiny. And I say unto you, little one, study much the scripture, for in them you shall find life. For you shall have literally life in my word. Do nothing without consulting my word. Follow hard after what I say and operate in high levels of obedience. And I say unto you, my children, that as you obey what I say and maximize your obedience I will maximize the manifestation of my promise, and you'll see my hand in ways you never have. But these shall be, said the Lord, the best days of your life. If you believe that, give God praise. Come on, open your mouth and give him praise. Hallelujah. Perhaps you're in this room this morning or online and somebody's been watching that's not born again, whether you're on YouTube, Facebook. We're streaming on 3 Facebook pages and YouTube. Maybe you're here and you say, I want godly confidence, and you're watching, you say, I want to be saved. It starts with giving your life to God. I believe there's someone watching that says, hey, I've been out of faith. I've been in church before, but I backslid. I left, and I don't want nothing else to do with God. But you stayed and watched this message. God said he's married to the backslider. You can come home today. You can give your life to him. Maybe you're watching or in this room and you don't have the baptism in the Holy Spirit You've heard us speaking in tongues. You've seen the manifestation of God's power before in others, and you say, I want to receive the baptism of the Holy Ghost. If that's you, I want to pray for anybody in those 3 categories. Bow your heads, everybody in this building. If you're not saved, please close your eyes, bow your heads. Please be obedient. You're not saved. You say, I know my business not straight. And if I died right now, I will go to hell. But because I'm in church and I have an opportunity, I've heard the word, I've heard preaching, I want to give my life to Jesus. If that's you, I want you to lift up your hand. So I want to give my life to God. If you're online, stay with me, I'm going to pray for you. Glory to God. Maybe you're here, you backslid sitting in this room or online, and you say, I want to come back to Jesus, I want my life to be restored, I want him to be in control, I want to pray with you. Lift your hands. Maybe you're here, you need the baptism of the Holy Ghost. You say, I want to speak in tongues, I want to be revived again, I need a refreshing. I want to pray for you. Glory to God. Father, we thank you now for every person, whether here or out there, that needs to be born again, that needs to return home. We pray for those that need the baptism of the Holy Ghost. I pray that you would do it in this moment, in the name of Jesus, whether they're here in person, online, live now, or watching the replay. Thank you for salvation. I need everybody just say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father. Come on, everybody say, Heavenly Father, I repent. Somebody's saying, saying that I'm already saying. You should repent every day anyway. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I repent of my sin. So I open my heart. Come in me, renew me, refresh me, revive me again, oh Lord. Lord. Said, do a new thing in my life. Say, I believe you died for me and you rose again, and I declare I am saved. I am saved in the name of Jesus. Say, Father, I thank you for the gift of the Holy Ghost. Say, I receive him into my life. And I thank you that he will lead me and guide me into all truth, and I receive it now. Say, I declare I am filled with the Holy Spirit in Jesus' name. Now, if you believe anything you pray, give God a praise right there. Hallelujah, hallelujah. We bless him. We're going to move. So glad to see all of you here. We're going to take an opportunity to give really quickly. Uh, Mario, put the ways to give on the screen. I pray you were blessed today. Glory to God. We bless him. We honor his great name. Just lift your hands. I feel Jesus. Woo! I feel Jesus, thank you, God. I worship you, Jesus. I worship your name, God. You're so holy and righteous. You're so wonderful and mighty. Father, we thank you for this time of giving. I pray for the spirit of obedience I thank you that this church and this people, and even those that connect with us, they are liberal people. Even our visitors today, they are liberal people. And your word says the liberal soul shall be made fat. And Father, because of our generosity today, we thank you for fatness in our finances because we obey the word. We thank you that you're moving us all to the other side of money, and that we'll live in places where money is not an issue because we obey and put confidence in your word. And even in our giving today, God, we bring you the first fruits of all of our increase. We trust your word. Even in our giving today, we sow sacrificially, God, because we understand our condition will not change change without seed. So we will be consistent in getting seed in the ground. And we bless you and we honor you in Jesus' name. Amen. Now, yeah, give us a good place to clap. Give him praise. Hallelujah. Yeah, thank you. If you have physical money I'm grabbing the bucket now. Sometimes I forget because this is such a digital age, you can sow there. But I want everybody to be a blessing to the kingdom this morning. We have a meeting coming up at the end of the week, and I just really want to make sure we do everything we got to do before we go into that meeting. So I want you to make a sacrifice. Glory to God. We're going to serve lunch today people that are registering. I'm— Tanya and them is not fixing lunch this time. I'm going to use somebody to do some catering for the lunch, so we going to have to buy that. So we want to make sure that we make sacrifices. We're not charging people to register. We going to give out a lot of good information this weekend. It's going to be blessed, and we want to make sure that we cover what we need. Amen. And whatever we get during the weekend will be over overflow. So get a sacrifice, a sacrifice. I want you to pray about it. The Bible says many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. So don't just give your haphazard $20. I want you to pray about it and let God lead you in what to give. Make a sacrifice. Father, as your people are praying now, they're taking giving seriously. And I decree and declare they're going to give in obedience to your voice, and they're going to make sacrifices, and they're going to be a blessing to ministry. And because of that, you're going to do great things for them, in Jesus' name. Why don't you stand on your feet as we get ourselves together? I'll make this confession over your giving this morning. Glory to God. You have what you say. Hallelujah. That's why I always have y'all saying stuff. Because you got to be in practice of saying the right thing. Lift your phone or your money, however you give it up to the Lord. Come on, everybody do it. Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I'm blessed in the city. Say, I'm blessed in the field. Say, I am blessed when I come and when I go home. Say, Lord, In the name of Jesus, bless my giving even now, and I command it to come back not 50, not 60, not 70, not 80, not 90, but 100-fold. Say, I declare, I declare a 100-fold return on my seed. Say, in the name of Jesus, bless my obedience, even in tithing. And as I obey, return it back to me with the windows of heaven open. And I declare, I will receive a blessing that I won't have room to receive. In Jesus' name, I declare, I I declare all my needs, all of my needs, they are met. I declare I walk, I walk in net-breaking, net-breaking, abundant, abundant anointing, anointing, and I have everything, and I have everything, and I have the desires of my heart, and I have the desires of my heart. Amen. Amen. Give in the name of the Lord. If you have it, bring it. Glory to God. I'm telling you, it's happening right now. You have what you say. You have what you say. Glory to God. God is so good. Hallelujah, Jesus. We bless your name, God. You're so good. We bless your name. Thank you for your givers, God. I'm telling you, the word, you know, so so good today to me. I hope it was good to you, and I don't hope you feel slighted if I don't prophesy to you. Prophecy is not always something that God wants to do if he ain't saying nothing. Some people will prophesy to folk and ain't got no word just because they can do it. I'm not that guy. Glory to God. Come back another time, the prophet might be employed that day. But today it was for us to receive the prophetic word. Somebody say amen. And you know, it's a sign of growth that you can operate in dimensions where you don't need prophecy all the time. Uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. Well, you can live in a mature— so that says something about you when it ain't always a word. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Father, we thank you again for the givers. Give it back to them a thousand times more, even according to their confession. In Jesus' name, amen. Give God a hand of praise. Glory to God. Uh, I'm just going to give this one announcement today because it's most important. Um, we are starting our Supernatural Wealth Weekend 2.0.

Anybody got something? Come on, Prophet Shannon. I'm gonna let you have the final word, and y'all get Prophet Shannon's hand as she come.

Hey y'all, so it's so funny, I have to drive, um, I have to press to get here, and, um, I was praying on my way here and the Lord reminded me of what he was talking about in this season. And Apostle, you preached the whole thing. But in this season, you were talking about, um, alignment. But the way the Lord gave me— he showed me an anchor, a huge anchor. And I'm like, an anchor? He's like, in this season, it's important that we align with the right anchors. Now, anchors are huge and heavy, and they carry weight. They're so heavy that they can hold boats and ships in place. Now you think about this anchor, they go down in the water, they go to the bottom till they hit the ground. These anchors, they get dirty, they get muddy, they hit rocks, but when they come back up out the water, they may have some dents, but that's what they encounter in the dirt, in the mud, it doesn't take anything from them. As a matter of fact, it adds character. So he was saying, church, it's important to be in right alignment in this season. Somebody that got some weight to them that can keep you anchored in the word of God so that when stuff starts happening, you not being dragged to and fro because of an anchor that carries no weight and can't hold you and keep you in check and keep you together. Now, if you also notice, the anchor is anchored to a ship, a boat. It's not floating around out by itself. It's not all lightweight and doing what it wants to do. It's tied, it's anchored, it's chained. To the Lord, to the ship. That's where we need to be. And he was showing me that a lot of these churches, that, um, the little— the anchors, their anchors look like wood. It just floats on water, carries no weight, is doing nothing. So when all hell break loose, they trying— they looking at you for something to hang on to, and you can't in this season. It's— that's not going to work. And he says, I've shown you who my trusted anchors are. And if you're in a place where you know you can't trust that anchor, that anchor is just cute, you need to leave. You need to be tied to— you need to go where my trusted heavyweight anchors are. And if I may be so bold as to say, we got one over here. We have a tried and true anchor, and I, I know what it means to press because it's— I live way in Suwannee, way in at the top of Suwannee, so I have to hit almost every highway, 285, 85, and 20 East to get here. But every single time I come I get what I need. I'm fed. I get— you don't understand what I'm saying. I leave here equipped. When I go out that door, I know something's been deposited in me that will help me when I walk out that door, because it feels good in here, but we know as soon as we walk out the door, who's waiting for us? So thank Thank you for that word, and it just confirmed what he was showing me about those anchors. So yeah, that was a good word though, wasn't it? My God, that was good. That was so good and so needed. And so Father, we just seal that word with your blood, Lord. I pray that that word fell on good ground, good soil, and it penetrates deep in us, and the enemy can't steal it from us, Lord. Let that word sink in and let it give us eyes to see where you want us. It's important in this season that we learn to hear you so that we steward the time that you've given us, that we steward the finances you've given us, that we steward even the gifts you've placed in us, that we get it deep down in us so that we know in this time, in this season, in this very pivotal time, that we know where we are to be anchored, where we are to be fed from, but also where we're supposed to pour into as well, where we're supposed to link arms to, link our vision with this vision, or wherever you send us, Lord. This is the time. This is the time. Time. Not for the rubbing elbows, not for the networking, not for what's cute, but it's time to be tethered and anchored to your words. So I pray that this word penetrates deep and we take it with us everywhere we go and in every decision that we make. And Father, I just bless Apostle Mike and Miss Felicia, Lord. Oh God, the blood of Jesus covers them I pray a hedge of protection and a wall of fire around their home, around this church and everyone connected to it. Father, I speak blessings over them. God, everything that he poured out, Lord, be poured right back in, Lord, that there will be nothing lacking, missing, or broken, hurting. He will be revived and refreshed just as he— as they revived and fresh us, Lord. And Father, I pray that you go with us as we go in our respective, uh, directions, Lord, that you cover us, protect us, and keep us. Amen. What's been deposited in us shine forth, Lord, that something in us will show people that yes, Jesus is alive, well, and real, and we'll tell them exactly how to get him. Lord, we thank you that we will arrive at our destination safely. We thank you, Lord, that you will be our provider this week. We thank you, Lord, that every single thing that's needed will be provided for. And until we come together again, Lord, we thank you and praise you and honor you and glorify you. In the name of Jesus, amen.

One more, one more. And I, I'm so sorry, I forgot to acknowledge our visitors. Let's give our visitors a hand. Amen. First, this young man here looks just like his mama. Thank you for being here, sir. Thank you for visiting with us today. And these beautiful ladies over here, I think you've been here before. Mama's been here before, and you have a— well, that's your auntie. Thank you so much for coming. And, and the twins, thank y'all for being here. Oh, awesome! Thank y'all for coming. We, we celebrate you guys. Thank y'all for being here. You're always welcome. I, I'm— when I get drunk, not in the natural but in the spirit, I just— so please forgive me, but, but you're welcome. Glory to God. Thank y'all for coming. Y'all please come back again. Um, I wanted to say this while I was sitting there, while Shan was prophesying. I wanted to just really be obedient to what God told me I was rejecting it a little bit, but what God told me, he said to tell you, if you— you got to be here now, but he told me to give away. So next year we're going on a cruise, we're calling it Dominion at Sea. So we're gonna spend about 5 days on the water teaching, and we're gonna have a good time and fellowship. It's gonna be real good. We've got some speakers coming on the boat. God told me to give away one cruise this weekend, so somebody's gonna get blessed to go for free. So, but you gotta be here because we draw your name, because we're gonna have the drawing when you, you put your name in when you come in, and at the end of the thing we're gonna— so you got to be here to win. Are y'all here? All right, so it's going to be a blessing. You know, you want a free cruise, got an opportunity to get it. Amen. All right, y'all dismiss. I love y'all.
