CREATED TO WORSHIP, PART 3: "GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT" | DR. MIKE WOODS, SR.

In this live‑streamed worship and teaching session, Apostle Michael Lyris Woods continues his "Created to Worship" series, focusing on how worship aligns believers with heaven and helps them set their priorities straight. The service opens with a high‑energy worship clip by Megan Williams, followed by a series of exhortations, prayers, and biblical exegesis. Woods explains that the Hebrew year 5785 opens a spiritual portal of harvest and fruitfulness, and that true worship—understood as a sacrificial, face‑to‑face communion with God—is the key to entering that portal. He teaches a three‑step priority framework: (1) spiritual warfare done "God’s way" (citing Psalm 16, 2 Cor 10:4, and a Hebrew phrase “Shemar El”), (2) walking in the divinely‑revealed path of life (using Psalm 16:11, Proverbs 19:21, and the concept of “panim”/presence), and (3) worship that produces Holy‑Spirit encounters, baptism of fire, and the power to sow to the Spirit. Throughout, Woods urges viewers to share the stream, give financially, and declare freedom for a viewer named Alicia, presenting her testimony as proof of worship’s power. The latter half of the broadcast intensifies the financial giving appeal, presenting a "seed" campaign where twenty participants are asked to contribute $500 each, promising a hundred‑fold (10,000 %) return before the end of 2024. He leads the audience through seven scripted decrees that invoke Genesis 26:12, Galatians 6, Proverbs 11:18, Proverbs 28:20, Philippians 4:19, and Malachi 3:10, positioning these confessions as mechanisms to unlock the harvest. The message blends charismatic exhortation, biblical interpretation, practical "priority‑setting" steps, and a call to active participation (sharing, giving, praying), while also announcing a 7‑day fast ending Thursday and a need for funds to complete building projects (signage, LED screen).

And she's declaring now she's whole. And there are no more chains. Somebody ought to praise the living God. This is living proof tonight why worship is so very important. Glory to Jesus, we give you praise, God. And we honor your great name. Hallelujah. Father, in Jesus' name, tonight we thank you for the opportunity to teach your word.

And whether they watch it live or by replay, we declare that the healing virtue of God will be upon this live stream tonight. We declare that the spirit of breakthrough and prosperity and deliverance will be on this live tonight, and no person will leave the way they came. I declare that debt will be eliminated and breakthrough would happen. Even tonight, in the mighty name of Jesus, I declare it to be so, and I say it is done. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! In Jesus' name. Glory to God. Clap those hands and open your mouth and tell God thank you. We give you praise and we give you glory, oh God. Hallelujah! We— you're so wonderful, you're so mighty, you're so good. Glory to God. Listen, watch this video and we're going to come back and we're going to jump right into this word. Glory to God on tonight. Praise the name of God. Check out this video and we'll be right back. Glory to God. In the beginning, everything had a purpose. Everything was created with intentionality. Every breath, every heartbeat designed for one reason only. You were created for something greater than you imagined. Beyond your plans, beyond your dreams, there is one reason you exist: to worship. Worship, a response to the Creator. It's not a religious moment. But a lifestyle. It's not just a song, but the cry of your heart. Worship must be passionate, worship must be pure, and worship must be present in every season. True worship requires sacrifice. Just as Abraham lifted his eyes to the mountain, trusting God with his most precious gift. We are called to worship with everything we have, to lay down our lives in honor of the one who gave it all. Join me, Apostle Michael Lyris Woods, as I embark upon this transformative journey in our new series, Created to Worship. You're going to discover your true purpose and learn how worship positions you in the presence of God. Listen, this is more than a sermon, it's more than a teaching, it's a call to action that will align your life with your divine destiny. This is It's what you were made for. You were created to worship. Well, praise the Lord! And yes, indeed, for real, you were created to worship God. Worship changes the game, man. You were created to worship. Glory to God! Hallelujah! Glory to God! We give God praise. Hallelujah! I rejoice tonight. I don't know about you. Once again, family, I need you, uh, to do me the kind favor and share this teaching tonight. It's going to be phenomenal. I'm not going to prolong any more time. Glory to God! But I believe there's a word from the Lord, so let's, let's jump right into it, uh, tonight. Glory to God! Again, this is part 3 And we're talking about getting your priorities straight, getting your priorities straight. And, um, we're going to look at a few scriptures tonight, but I believe, glory to God, you're going to be blessed. So stay with me, glory to God. Uh, don't scroll, stay with me. Listen, I want to start with this tonight. Um, on Wednesday, glory to God, we entered into what is called 5785 on the Hebrew calendar. It's the Hebrew year of 5785. Now I'm not going to get into a lot of depth on what this means. As a matter of fact, I got it tied into the other part of presence and personality, and I'm going to share it on Sunday. But the Lord has given me some permission to, uh, hallelujah, share with you the part of this that is actually, hear me, connected to, listen guys, the message tonight. I want you to hear this. Glory to God. The reality is what 5785 does, hear me, it opens up a portal. Somebody say portal. Glory to God. Where it gives us the opportunity now to tap into, watch this, fruitfulness. Say that with me, say fruitfulness. Ah, yeah, yeah. And watch this, it's not fruitfulness for a season, it's fruitfulness throughout the remainder of time. Can I tell you something? Jesus is soon to come. It is important that his people, listen to this, have lives, lives that are fruitful. So 5785, or or in Hebrew it will be pronounced hey, pay, hey, pay. I grew up in a church where those mothers would go, hey, hey, hey, hey, and whenever they would say hey, something would break out. People would get healed, deliverance would happen. They didn't know no Hebrew, but they were speaking in the hey, they were quickening. Glory to God. And the words hey was coming out of their mouth, and the other side of it, pay. Watch this. So hey, hey means this day. The Lord is good. And pay means the production of harvest and fruitfulness. Can I tell you something? God, listen to me, has brought us into a season of harvest and fruitfulness. Glory to God. But if you're with me tonight, type in the comments, harvest and fruitfulness. Matter of fact, Type 5785 equals harvest plus fruitfulness, and, and they're one in the same, harvest and fruitfulness. But harvest, glory to the name of God, uh, deals with the idea that there's a process, glory to God, that has led up to the fruitfulness. So the whole process that produces it. So everything you've gone through, the things you've sown, the things that you do God said he's brought us into a season. It won't matter politically, socially, economically what's happening in the world. God's about to position the people who will find themselves yielded to his plans and priorities that— watch this— we are perpetually in harvest. Oh my God. And that we are perpetually fruitful. Oh God, just shout it out of your mouth. Say, I'm operating in harvest. Glory to God. And I'm operating in fruitfulness. Huraki sat alabasoto rambikiaya. I'm telling you, this is the new year on the Hebrew calendar. This is a new year, 5785. You ought to just touch yourself and look at somebody around you and say, Happy New Year. Glory to God. This is a season of harvest and fruitfulness. And you could sit around and be caught up in who's gonna get elected and worry that the one you don't like gonna get elected and mess around and neglect the promise because what God is about to do will have nothing to do with who's sitting in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. You and I are kingdom children. Are you hearing me? And we will only be affected by the rule and the domain of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Jesus the Christ. Oh, shababa toramba kiaya. Harvest. Yeah, Alicia. Yeah, Titi, and fullness. Glory to God. Yeah, Minister Anderson. Yeah, to under harvest. Yeah, Pastor Jasper. And fruitfulness. This is our portion. And the portal has opened. How do I get there? How do I tap into this season where harvest is perpetual, fruitfulness is always, it's always, right? That's where we need to be. Where we're always fruitful, where we're always living in harvest, where we're never behind, we're never struggling, we're never trying to catch up. I don't know about you, but this is the place I desire to live. And I have declared over my life, I will live on this side of kingdom reality. Glory to God. And I need you to go along with me in agreement that you're gonna operate at a level of fruitfulness and harvest from this day forward. I'm going to show you tonight how to tap into this season of 5785. See, people hollering it, saying it, talking about it, but nobody is really teaching you how to get in it. And so my job, itete bo suranki aya, as an apostle in the Lord's church, glory to God, is to be a spiritual laxative for you so that you don't just hear good teaching and preaching and revelation and be constipated and can't move. My job is to get you moving. I'm fiber, glory to God, in the spirit, to get you moving so this stuff can work in our lives. I need somebody to shout, I need it to work! Glory to God. Hallelujah. And I'm telling you, it will work. Glory to Jesus. Yeah, so, so we got to get aligned, right? And we gotta set our priorities in order. One of the things my mom used to say a lot to me when I was just— when I was becoming an adolescent and going into my teenage years, 13, 12, 13, she said, boy, your priorities are order. Get your priorities in line, which means you need to make these things the most important things. So I'm going to give you the priority, the things you need to make most important. Watch this. So you can live— hear me— in the realm of 5785. You can walk through the portal and operate perpetually. Glory to God. In a season— oh boy, I didn't get that— in a season of harvest and fruitfulness. My watch is talking back to me. Glory to God. God, we give you the glory. So go to Psalms really quick tonight. Glory to Jesus. Let's go to Psalms. And we're going to look at 16:1. Praise God. Psalm 16:1. The Bible says this: it is a mitscham or mitscham of David. And, and this is a technical term that deals with, glory to God, the mood and the the attitude of the writer being uncertain, being afraid. Are you hearing this? Uh, mata means that David was perplexed. As a matter of fact, can I submit to you Psalm 16 was written in the cave of Adullam, okay, when David was running for his life from King Saul, and he's running because the king has decreed to kill him because he knew— the king knew that David was going to take over his throne. And so Saul said, no, we're not having it, we're just going to kill him and he won't be able to take over. So David is in some warfare. Somebody say warfare. He's in some warfare. Glory to God! He is fighting a mental battle. Uh, he calls the captains, he calls 400 into the cave with him. But the Bible even says that in that cave he was stressed. Watch this, he was in debt and he was confused. How many of you know that we have seasons in our life where we are wrestling with uncertainty? What? Whoa, boy, we're battling in our mind with the— oh God, the attacks of the demonic forces that the enemy try to bring to make us doubt God. But I want to tell you, because again, that's some of you in warfare over this election, man, you better let that go and focus on God. You locked into all of the news outlets. Let it go. Focus on God. Hear me, I'm gonna say it again. Let it go. Focus on God. Period. This is a macham of David. And watch what David does. He says, preserve me, my God, oh God, for in thee do I put my trust. So the first priority that we gotta line up— here we go— is our warfare. And we gotta choose— watch this— to do warfare— hear me— God's way. Listen, I have done a lot of spiritual warfare in my 40 years of being saved, my 35 years in full-time ministry. Listen to this, I have done a lot of spiritual warfare. I've cast out a lot of devils. I have to admit to you, I ain't always did it God's way. Many times I've went through unnecessary stuff fighting against my enemy when if I would have resolved to do warfare God's way. Somebody shout warfare God's way. I need you to say that out of your mouth. Warfare, because I want you to do it. Glory to God. Warfare God's way. Yes, God. Hallelujah. Warfare God's way. Good God. I need you to hear this. Warfare, not your way, God's way. The weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but they are mighty through God. That's, uh, uh, 2 Corinthians 10:4. They are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. So I fight the devil— hear me— through God. I deal with the attacks of the enemy his way. How do I do that? David shows us in verse 1. He simply says, God, preserve me because I'm putting my trust in you. I can't— you can't fight the devil with a million dollars. You can't fight him with a Cadillac. You can't fight him, glory to the name of God, with anything that is physical. You can't fight him with an Uzi. You can't fight him with a nuclear warhead. This battle is not won with bullets and guns. But the enemy will be defeated through us understanding and putting our trust— hear me, guys— totally in Jesus. And David says, preserve me. This word preserve me is shamar in Hebrew. Oh God, have mercy. Which means to protect, to keep, to guard. He says, I want you to protect me, I want you to keep me, I want you to guard me, I want you to fight for me. Oh my God, I need you to say this with me. Say, the Lord will fight for me. So warfare God's way is resolving a posture of faith and trust that no matter what you're battling, whether it be financial difficulty— hear me— whether it be sickness and disease— hear me, guys— whether it be pain in your body, glory to God, whether it be a battle in your flesh, a battle in your mind, instead of trying to fight it in your own strength, warfare God's way says, God, I am putting this on the altar and I trust you. In thee, watch this, he says, shame our, oh God, Oh, watch this. He says, "Shamar, oh El." Oh yeah. El, El, Elion, El Shaddai, which means, watch this, the great, the good God.
Woo!
My God today. Oh God. So he says, "Protect me, good God." Oh boy. "Protect me, powerful God." Ah. God, that's what El is. Protect me, mighty God. So if the Hebrew was saying it, he would say, Shemar El.
Woo!
Shabbati kondidi di di di amsa. So the next time you wanna do warfare God's way, instead of trying to fight this thing yourself, just declare out of your mouth, Shemar El.
Woo!
Shabba!
Ooh!
Reantitebansi! Yaba! Oh my God, today, just open your mouth and declare, "Shemar El," which means mighty God, fight for me. Mighty God, protect me. Good God, take care of me. I'm telling you, God's got you on the right. God's got you on the left. He's got you on the front. He's got you on the back. He's got you on the top. He's got you on the bottom. And there is no way the enemy can defeat you when you choose to trust God. For, okay, so Shemar El Shakak, that's how this would be read in Hebrew. So Shemar, good God, I trust, I have my hope, I seek my refuge in you. You are my garrison. You are my fortress. Glory to God.
Woo!
Yeah. You are my fortress. You are my shield. I hear you, God. You are a very present help in times of need. You are my fortress, Jesus. My everything. Yes, God, you are the only thing that matters. Lord, it's all about you. Let me say that again. You are my fortress. You are my shield. Oh, you are very present help. In times of need. You are my fortress, Jesus. Thank you, God. My everything. You are the only thing that matters. Yes, God. Lord, it's all about you. Come on, just worship him a few moments right there. It's all about him. You're trying to fight battles that he wants to fight for you, and you're making things harder than they need to be because he is your fort. You are my fortress. Yes, God, you are my strength. You are a very present help in times of need. You are my fortress, Jesus, my everything. Le bon si canta, you are the only thing that matters. Yes, God. Lord, it's all about you. Yeah, it's all about him. It's all about him. Glory to God. And so you got to do warfare his way. And you got to trust him. So you got to align your warfare. A lot of times we don't access the things that God has for us because our warfare is out of line. Remember, we're talking about getting your priorities straight. So one of your priorities has to be doing warfare God's way, which is the correct way to do it. And doing it his way is trusting him to fight for you. Oh my God, somebody just shout, the Lord will fight for me. So, shamar el shekek, that's the Hebrew word for trust, shekek, huh, which means you're my refuge, you're my fortress, and my hope is in you, not in myself, not in my resources, but it's in you and in your word and what you're able to perform. Oh my God, if you Rebansu tabakiaya, shema el shagek. Lord, we love you and we give you glory. We give you the honor, God. Hallelujah. Drop down to verse 11. Glory to God. I got to get out of here, man. Drop down to verse 11. Glory to God. I love Jesus. How about you? The Bible says this, verse 11, it says, thou will show me the path of life, and in thy presence, listen guys, there is fullness of joy, and at thy right hand there are pleasures, pleasures forevermore. So the first thing he says is that I'm gonna show you something. So Here's another. There's another. Omamansiaya. Here we go. Here's another. Good God. Good God. Here's another principle that needs to be aligned. You got to get your priorities straight. He says, I'm gonna show you. Listen to me, guys. The path of life. I need you to hear this. See, this is why you got to understand you're created to worship, because what worship does— again, uh, the Hebrew 5785, this new year, that portal is opening. So there's a portal, there are portals between earth and heaven. What gets us through the portal is not religious activity. Oh my God, oh my God. What gets us through the portal is not legalism. What gets us through the portal is true worship. I'm sorry to tell you, praise breaks— hear me— do not get you through portals. But praise breaks are vehicles to get you to the place called worship. Oh my God. So you can begin to worship and honor the Father and honor the King in a way, Lord have mercy, Jesus, tonight, that the portal opens up, lebesu tokosiaya, and you're able to slip through the portal and the things that are on the other side of the portal that are beneficial for your life on earth, they also slip through the portal into this dimension, show up in your life, superimpose itself on you, and you begin to manifest the promises of God. Watch this. He says, thou will show me. I need y'all to hear me tonight. That word show in Hebrew is yada, which means God will, obo si anta labaya. And watch this, it's not a euphemism, it's real. He's saying, I will cause you to know intimately what I know. So David is praying this imprecatory psalm, and he says, God, you will call, an imprecatory psalm, is this. Let me explain that because somebody may not know what that is. But the psalm invokes wrath and warfare— here we go— on your enemy. So David is praying this psalm of imprecation, and I want you to notice not one time does he mention Saul's name. He only worships God and talks to God, but he is saying what he's saying to God in a way. That will employ God into his situation, and God himself will show up and go after his enemy. Watch this. So he says, you gonna allow me— here we go— to intimately see— hear me, listen guys, hear me— intimately see what you see. Oh boy, oh y'all, y'all stay with me tonight. He said, thou will show me, good God from Zion, the path of life. The path, the path, the path. That word path is orach in Hebrew, which means the design, the plan, the way, or the walk of life, which means the design, the plan, the purpose, the assignment of my life. God says, I'll allow you to see what I see. So what if— what do we have to line up here? I'm glad you asked. You have to align— you have to align your walk. So we, we just saw in verse 1 the warfare, but now in the a clause of verse 11, we see your walk. Your walk of life. You need a clear revelation of the path that you should be on. Many people are blocked from the blessing of God because they have no clarity— hear me, family— on the path that they should be on. They're walking— especially in this life, they're scrolling timelines Comparing themselves to everybody else. And if they see something they like, something that appears successful— because everything you see online, just because it appears successful doesn't necessarily mean it is successful— but they'll try to mimic and duplicate that. Oh my God, trying to be somebody else that God didn't call them to be. Hear me, family, hear me. And God says you got to get a clear understanding and revelation. Let him show you of your walk, your purpose, your assignment. Uh, let's, let's really quick go to Proverbs 19:21, real quick, real quick. We gonna come back to Psalm. Go to Proverbs 19:21. Glory to God. I'm show you why this is important. Proverbs 19:21. I love Jesus. How about you? I said I love Jesus. How about you? Glory to God. Ha shantidebesoramaya. Watch this. This is the NIV. It says there are many plans. Yeah, many plans in a man's heart. The word heart is lev in Hebrew, not your cardiovascular heart, the heart that's 6 inches below the collarbone, but the center of your intellect, the center of your passion. The center of your emotional person. There are many plans in your center, things you would want to do. But the Bible says here, nevertheless— so watch this— while there are many plans in your heart, nevertheless— anytime you read that in the Bible, it means that God's option is nevertheless than yours. It's always greater than yours. So you have some options that you may feel comfortable with. You have some options that may appease your flesh. But God says tonight, nevertheless— oh boy— nevertheless, my plans are greater. It is the purpose of the Lord, the walk, the plans of God, that shall stand. So the thing that stands eternally The things that will cause you to win— oh my God— is standing in the will of God and walking out his purpose. Are y'all with me tonight? His purpose is the only thing. I don't have time to teach on purpose tonight. Go, go— if you're watching on YouTube, wherever you are, just go on YouTube. There's some purpose teachings there. But let me tell you something I need you to understand. You're here for a reason. You're here to be God's delivery system in the earth. So you should be walking out his plan and not your own agenda. I'm gonna say that again. Your agenda is secondary to God's, and that means your, your agenda doesn't even matter. Now God will allow you to start walking out that agenda because he's not going to violate your free will. Yeah, I don't have time to talk about free will neither tonight, but the reality is he's not going to try to control you because God's not a witch, he's a Father. Glory to God. And so he's going to allow you to make decisions. Now you must choose. You, you're responsible for this tonight. You gotta tap into what God is thinking so you can align your walk, so you can slip through the portal. The portal can come— what's behind the portal can come to you, and you can begin to live out the blessing of 5785. Glory to God! Because you're aligned with God's plans. See, again, it ain't just talking about 5785. You got to get in alignment. You gotta get your priorities straight. Watch this, in every assignment, in every purpose, here we go. I'm gonna just give you this real quick, glory to God. And 'cause there maybe there's someone here that hadn't heard me teach this. So I'm gonna just run it real quick, 30-second Bible study. In every assignment, number one, there are problems. So as soon as you show up in the purpose, you show up in the assignment, problems are gonna arise. They arise to test you. They arise to train you. They arise to work out your— oh my God— faith, and to try your faith so that it will work patience. So yeah, you got to overcome the problem. So in every assignment, there are problems. Every assignment— number 2, there are people. There are people that are assigned to your assignment, your purpose. Every assignment. Number 3, there are particulars, there are specifics, there are decent and in order ways that God has planned for you to procure his purpose in your life. There are particulars. Every assignment. Number 4, are you ready? There are provisions. Where God guides He provides. Number— I don't have time, I don't have time. I can go there, I don't have time. Number 6, in every assign— number 5, I'm sorry. In every assignment, there are places, geographical locations you have to be in to fulfill your assignment. For some of you, that means you gotta move. For some of you listening to me, that means, glory to God, you gotta stay still. Glory to Jesus. So for some of you, it means you got to move. For some of you, it means you need to stay where you are. But I need you to hear me tonight. You need to understand clearly what God is saying so the fruit—
whoo!
Because watch this, all of this is worship. Remember I told you in part 1, worship is not just a song, it's not just the lifting up your hands, it's proskuneo in Greek. It's the laying down of your life as a living zio sacrifice. Glory to God. As a living, alive, and kicking sacrifice, giving up you for him. So every aspect— so when you find your purpose and live it, you are worshiping. Oh my God, glory to Jesus. I love you. You're so good, God. You're so mighty. Ha! You're so kind. Good God from Zion. Good. So here we go. So there are many devices in man's heart, nevertheless the counsel of the Lord shall stand. Y'all got that? So let's go back to Psalm 16. Go back to Psalm 16. I got to get out of here, man. I'm way over my time. Let's go back to Psalm 16. Glory to God. I got to go. Glory to God. I love you on this Sunday night, Jesus. So, so, so, so, so say this with me. So I gotta align my warfare, I gotta align my walk. So I gotta get my priorities straight, I got my warfare in line, got to get my walk of life in line. So he said, thou will show me the path of life, for in thy presence— here we go— is fullness of joy. I love it. I love it. So presence— are y'all ready for this? Presence, panim in Hebrew. This word panim, I love this word. Glory to God. I've been studying this language for 35 years. I mean, as long as I've been preaching. This, this, this, this word presence means the face, the intelligence To access the intelligence through the face. Interesting. Panim, to access the intelligence through the face. That's heavy. Let me tell you why. Because most of the intelligence we receive, it has to be accessed through the face. Ah, I'm giving you some spiritual intelligence tonight. Are y'all with me? Glory to God. It has to be accessed through my face. You're receiving it out of my mouth. Glory to God. I'm hearing it from God through my spiritual ears. Glory to Jesus. And you're watching with your eyes, receiving it with your ears. It is coming through the face. Through my nostrils, I sense the presence of Jesus. Glory to God. So, so watch this. Yeah, here's worship. In thy presence, in your face, I can tap in. So I gotta, I gotta start seeing life through the eyes of God. I gotta hear the voice of God through prayer and through worship. Glory to Jesus. And I gotta have encounters and fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Watch this, where the Holy Spirit brings his intelligence. Are y'all hearing this? Into the situation. I feel like running out of here right now. Oh my God, I got a problem that you say you spent time with the Holy Spirit and you still crazy and you still ignorant. Glory to God. Ignorance is a better word than crazy. Y'all excuse me, please have mercy on me. Glory to God. But there's some folk out there, yeah, yeah, and, and they— because they haven't been in the presence of God and they embarrass God. Y'all ain't got to talk because they ain't been in his presence. It's hard to be in the presence of God and ignorant. I hear a lot of people saying, we were in the presence today at church, but still ignorant. Glory to God. Ignorant— ignosis just means not to know, right? They still don't know him. They still don't know his way. They still don't know his plan. I'm getting to my point. The third point is worship. So we got warfare, we gotta walk, we got worship. Worship produces encounters through the Holy Spirit with his presence. I need to be Baptized in Holy Spirit is one of the most important— matter of fact, I will venture to say the Holy Spirit is the most important thing in your life. He is the person of God that lives in you. What brings him to the surface is worship, is sacrifice, is obedience. Glory to God. So that you can fellowship and have encounters, you need to be in his face. Not just so you can cry and fall out, okay? I want you to cry and fall out, but I want you to have an encounter when you fall out. I want you to have an encounter with God when you fall out. Nothing wrong with being slain in the spirit. Y'all know I have a problem with that. We see it all the time. But at the end of the day, while you're down there I want you to connect with your daddy, and that comes through adequate worship. Lord, help us today. Well, let's go to Matthew 3:11 real quick. I'm gonna come back to Psalm 16. Let's go to Matthew 3:11. I gotta go, I'm gonna go. Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God. Matthew 3 and verse number 11. The Bible says, I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance, but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I'm not worthy to bear. He shall baptize you with Holy Ghost and with fire. This is John talking. So John says, I baptize you— baptizo in Greek— with water unto eis, because you repented. So repentance and baptism go together. For the New Age church that want to take baptism out the church and say baptism ain't necessary, uh, it is. Glory to the name of God. It is a sign to the world that you're buried with Jesus. So water baptism is important. It is a part of your salvation. Glory to God. Watch this. But there is a mightier baptism after the water. So it's not enough, oh Baptist one, to just get baptized in the water. It's another experience based on the word. But there's some denominational teachings that will tell you when you go down in water that that is the signification that you're being baptized— oh my God— in the Spirit as well. No, ma'am. No, sir. It's a different experience. You gotta go by Calvary to get redeemed from sin and pardoned from sin, but you go to Pentecost and you get power. I'm gonna say that again. You go to the cross to get pardoned from sin, but you gotta go to Pentecost to get power. And all these Baptist people people that are saying we got the Holy Ghost and they never spoke in tongues. They don't have any gifts working in their life. Oh my God, y'all ain't got to say nothing. They don't have the ability to commune with him. I want to tell you, or not just Baptist, Methodist, whoever, even there are some non-denominational folk who are saying— let me just say, anybody that's saying they got the Holy Ghost and have no fruit of the Spirit And that's not just the 9 fruit in Galatians 5, but I'm talking about also the 9 gifts. Oh, y'all ain't talking here. Oh boy, there's gonna be a manifestation of who he is that flows out of your life. Oh boy. Okay. Yeah, yeah. I give you glory, God. I'm tearing up a stronghold now, but I give you glory. The Bible says this baptism in the Spirit is mightier than the water, and he baptizes us, baptizo, with Holy Ghost and with fire. This is why a lot of churches don't have fire, because they ain't been baptized in fire. Glory to God. Ha! I, I, I be seeing people talking about uh, release the fire, or lay hands on people and release the fire in their life. Listen, you got to be baptized in fire to impart fire. Oh, glory to God! And being baptized in fire means that you have some encounters with him in his presence. Let's go back to Psalm 16. I gotta go, I gotta go, because I can stay on that all night, uh, but you got to get your worship in order so you can have encounters face to face, naim in Hebrew, with the Holy Spirit. Glory to God. So you can get access to his intelligence. Oh my God, oh my God, oh shatala bansiya. We need access. Lord, give us access to your intelligence. Glory to God. Yes, so, so we got warfare, we got a walk of life, we got worship. Hallelujah. And watch this, he says, and at thy right hand, here we go, are pleasures. Itamandushyantaya. Pleasures. Panim was presence. So from panim, pleasures, watch this, panim to naim. From panim to naim. Naim is pleasures, which means, oh my God, that which is pleasant. Watch this, that which is delightful. Are you— watch this, that which is fruitful, that which is beautiful, that which is lovely. Ah, God says good people. I want to give you what you never seen. I want to do for you what has never been done. So wait a minute, so I got the warfare, I got a walk, I got worship. Now watch this. Here I have the wealth, the wealth, the wealth is the delight, the beauty, the physical fruit. Oh, that's sweet! That leaves legacy. Oh, that leaves posterity to my children's children. This is what 5785 is about. This is why we worship into his face, so we can make sure we're positioned so we can release the wealth. What Well, how do I do that? I'm glad you asked. Let's go to Galatians. Oh yeah, I gotta get outta here. Somebody said, "Pastor, you teaching a lot longer tonight." Yeah, I am, 'cause I need you to get this. I'm really not teaching a lot longer. Megan Williams took up some of my time tonight, so I'm getting it back right now. Y'all need to stay with me. Glory to God. Stay with me. Glory to Jesus. Galatians 6. Praise God. Don't you leave. Glory. Don't you scroll. There's a blessing for you in eating this whole roll. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Galatians 6, hallelujah, 7 through 10 is what I want to read. And you'll find this intelligent. The Bible said, be not deceived, God is not mocked. So be not deceived, be not planio in Greek. Glory to God. Don't go astray from this. Don't put this to the side. Don't act like this is not important. Glory to God. For God is not mocked. He's not, uh, makatarazai. He, he's not matakarai, which means he doesn't turn up his nose at this principle. Watch this. He said, for whatsoever a man soweth— the word soweth is sperma in Greek, which means, uh, to set life in motion. So when you sow, you're setting life in motion. The moment it releases your hand, life is released. The moment a seed releases your body or is put in the ground, life is immediately set in motion. And now the posture is waiting for the manifestation of what has been released. So he says, whatever man soweth, that shall he reap. For he that soweth to the flesh, watch this, shall of the flesh reap corruption. But he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap— hear me, guys— everlasting life. Glory to God! I love Jesus, man, I'm telling you. You will of the flesh reap everlasting life. My God, if you sow to the Spirit So now here's a, here's a level of priority. I'm going to ask you a question, and I want you to answer it too fast, but I want you to think about it. Are you sowing to your flesh, or are you sowing to the Spirit? Perhaps you're reaping a harvest of of corrupt things where things are deteriorating. It doesn't seem like you're getting ahead because you're setting things in priority above God's way. Remember I told you God's way is never less than yours. So many of you have a system— watch this— even when it comes to giving and receiving. You don't understand that sowing and reaping and giving and receiving is God's kingdom way of exchanging. Watch this, 5785. Don't scroll, please. Glory to Jesus. Stay with me. See, many of you are still stuck on that rat wheel, that hamster wheel, and you're going in circles like the children of Israel because maybe, just maybe in the midst of how you function, you are giving when it's comfortable for you. Oh, you're giving when you can afford it inside of a system. Man, I was watching one of my favorite preachers earlier this morning, And I was watching the people in his church, and I'm telling you, anointed hit me. He was receiving the offering, and they had this day of giving, and this church has multiple thousand members. And I saw literally multiple hundreds of people, and he took time with each one, prayed with them. Giving a $1,000 seed. But the blessing that was on these people's life is because they do this consistently, and they made it. But that— listen, I'm not gonna talk about that. I said that to say that thing was blessing me to see God's people being blessed because they were a part of the circle of supernatural provision, and they were doing it at a high level And for many, up to myself, senior citizens sowing a $1,000 seed. Here's a reality, people. You gotta get uncomfortable with your system and stop putting your stuff over God. You know what we do? We get our money and we say, okay, I'm gonna pay my mortgage, I'm gonna pay my car notes, I'm gonna pay my bills, and now, okay, I'm gonna give this to God. Yeah, I'm gonna save this for God. We do everything first when honestly the system of giving— because let me, let me submit something to you. You don't have enough to take care of it all anyway. I'm gonna say that again. Most people under the sound of my voice, live or by replay, you have more month than money. Hear me. You have more month than money. Your monthly bills outweigh your income. The way to fix— or some of you, fixed income— the way to fix that, hear me, people, glory to God, is you got to get in the circle so that this thing can be released. You got to sow to the Spirit. You got to set God's way of doing things as a priority. You should never place what you think is priority over God. Listen, you ain't got to believe it, and you can get off this and scroll now if you want to, but I'm telling you, you're gonna miss your blessing not being in the circle. Oh boy, oh boy. Because, because what people want is for the sky to open up, and they want the blessing of 5785, but they don't want to make the sacrifices necessary to to produce that harvest. Oh, it's quiet in this place right about now, but that's okay. Glory to God, I'm gonna keep teaching it anyway. Glory to God, I'm gonna shout it, hallelujah, to the rooftops. I'm gonna be instant, in season, and out. I'm gonna preach it when you go to the bathroom. I'm gonna preach it when you put your finger up and walk out. I'm gonna preach it when you log off my live. Glory to God, I'm gonna keep preaching this because somebody's going to get it. Somebody's going to obey, and somebody's going to tap into multimillionaire status because of their obedience. So you can choose to keep sowing to the flesh. I'm going to keep sowing to the Spirit. Glory to God. You know, I, I had to make some choice because we got this, this thing happening in our building. I said, you know what, I'm sowing to this. I'm going to do what I got to do to make sure, glory to God, that we have everything we need in excellence when we go in this church. Because at the end of the day, I know God can bless me better than I can bless myself on any occasion. Oh my God, hallelujah! I give you glory, I give you honor, Jesus. I bless your name. So he says this, verse 9, he says, and let us not be weary in well-doing. So keep doing well. Don't get tired. Don't get tired of sowing. Don't get tired, because this is how we release the pleasures that's in his right hand. See, you want what— you want the beauty, you want the harvest, you want the fruit. And God wants to stick his right hand through that portal in 5785 and beyond. Glory to God. And make sure you operate harvest and fruitfulness. But in order to get what's in his right hand, You gotta release what's in your hand and stop, oh my God, nickel and diamond God. Oh God. Y'all know I ain't saying this 'cause I need your money. I'm saying this 'cause I'm trying to get you into the realm of harvest and fruitfulness. Oh boy. Oh boy, verse 10. As we therefore have opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially them who are of the household of faith. I need you to hear me. So the Bible says here, as you have opportunity, do good. Wait a minute, what's good? I'm glad you asked. Agathos in Greek, this word means give that which can be used, give that that is big. Give that which is pleasant. Give that which is excellent. Watch this. Give that which is distinguishable. That's agathos. So you got to get some seed in the ground that can be distinguished. I'm telling you, I was watching them old mothers giving $1,000. I'm like, my God. And this is what God will do when you operate like that. You could be on a fixed income, but when you operate putting God first He'll unfix your fixed income, and oh boy, woo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo! He'll unfix your fixed income, and you'll start having streams and money flowing from everywhere. Glory to God.
Woo-hoo!
I love Jesus, man. I love Jesus. He'll unfix a fixed income. And you might think that the person that just gets a certain amount on a certain check every month from the government or whatever is on the fixed income. No, if you go to work and, and you on salary, you got a fixed income. And if you work hourly and you know you work 40 hours, that's a fixed income because it's— your pay is going— it's linear. It's going to be equal to what you put in time. God wants to invade that and show you what he's able to do, but he cannot do it. Oh boy, I gotta go. I've been on too long. I get on too long. Okay, I gotta go. So back to Psalm 16:11. I, I don't have time. I don't have time. I promise you, I feel some of y'all pulling on me. Stay right there, Apostle. I don't have time. I don't. I promise you, I gotta go. I've been on an hour and 27 minutes. I gotta get off of here, man. I got to get off here. Look here, glory to God, uh, Psalm 16:11, and I'm done. Praise God, I'm done. I promise you, I'm done. I'm gonna finish it up. He said, at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore. So here we have the wealth again. So we have the warfare, we have the walk, we have the worship, we have the wealth. So we got to line it up in proportion. How aligning the wealth means I align myself in proper position in giving and receiving. Can I tell you something? A harvest— and I'm done— is called in. Hear me, guys. It's called in by our mouth, by our words. Matter of fact, go to Isaiah 45. They didn't even know. Let's go to Isaiah 45 real quick. I hear, I Here you go, Isaiah 45:15. Let me show it to you. Isaiah 45:15. Glory to God. Isaiah 45:15. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. He says, verily thou art God that hideth thyself. Here we go. Hallelujah. Oh God of Israel, the Savior. So watch this. So God hides himself. He isolates himself. What brings him out? Go to 41:15. Glory to God. I'm gonna show you what brings him out of hiding. He said, "Behold," which means look, now you can see me. "I will make thee a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth." The word teeth here in Hebrew is papha phi ha. Piphah, and this word means mouth. So he says, I'm gonna make you have an instrument in your mouth, and thou shalt thresh the mountains. How? With your mouth. And thou shalt beat them down small and make the hills shave with your mouth. So we call it in, hallelujah, with our mouth, and the words of our mouth when they are spoken in faith, they go out into the field like great combines and they bring in the harvest. So in 5785, we gotta decree and declare what the word says, and we gotta be found in line with what we're saying to produce the harvest. See, we use our words to send forth ministering angels into the fields to gather up our harvest. Let's go, let's look at it. We might as well look at it. I'm here. Hebrews, Hebrews 1:14. Uh, we might as well. I'm here. Hebrews 1:14. Glory to God. Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Talk about angels, their ministry spirits. Spirit. So we send them forth. We can send them forth. Glory to the name of God. So tonight, as we close— I'm getting out of here, man. As we close, I gotta quit. I can keep going, man. I can teach this forever because I want to help y'all, man. I really want to help you. I want you to say these words with me tonight. I'm gonna give you 7 7 decrees, because we want to tap into 5785. Open the portal and receive our harvest. Say this with me. Say, Harvest, I speak to you in the name of Jesus. I command you to come to me now. The Lord said, whatever a man sows, that shall he also will reap. So I declare now that I'm reaping a harvest on every seed sown. Say, Satan, in the name of Jesus, I command you to release your grip off my harvest, in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. And that's according to Galatians 6:7. Number 2, declare this with me. Say, I am a sower. Hey, my God, I love you, I love you. Say it. Say, I am a sower. I am a faithful tither, and I sow into the kingdom of God. Jesus said, when I give, it shall be given to me good measure, pressed down, pressed down, shaken together, running over. Oh my God! Declare this: I shall reap a harvest. I shall receive financial things in my life right now, in Jesus' name. Come on, worship him. Come on, worship him, Zion. We're tapping into 5785. We're decreeing and declaring that the harvest is coming to us. I'm telling you, it doesn't matter who will be in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. What matters is that Jesus is Lord. Glory to God. And that he is the King of Kings and he is the Lord.
Woo!
Oh Lord, my God, today. My God, today, my God, today, say this with me. Say, I declare Genesis 26:12 over my life and seed sown. Just as Isaac sowed and reaped a hundredfold the same year, say, I declare a hundredfold return is already operating my life every day, in Jesus' name. Oh, come on, come on, praise God. Say, I declare the hundredfold return is actively working in my life every day, right now, in Jesus' name. 4, say, Father, you said that whoever sows righteousness will receive a reward. Say, I declare, oh God, that where I have sown love, I will receive love. That where I have sown peace, I will receive peace. That where I have sown joy, I will receive joy. Glory to God. And where I have sown money, I will receive money in Jesus' name. Say, I declare a harvest on those seeds according to your word in Proverbs 11:18 and Proverbs 28:20. Whoa! Shabba bat Torah. Number 5, say this with me. Say, the harvest of my seed. Come on, say it. The harvest of my seed seed has swallowed up my need. Come on, say it again. The harvest of my seed has swallowed up my need in the name of Jesus. Oh, glory to God. Number 6, say it with me. Say, because I'm a tither, the windows of heaven are open over me.
Woo!
Shabbat aya! And say, I expect to receive in Jesus' name according to Malachi 3:10. Say it again. Say, because I'm a tither, the windows of heaven are open over me and I expect to receive according to Malachi 3:10 in Jesus' name. And lastly, 7, say this. Say, God, you always honor your word. I will not speak words contrary to receiving my harvest. Thank you, Lord. Say, I cast down every thought and imagination that does not agree with what your word says about my harvest. Oh God, I thank you. Declare this, say, your law of sowing and reaping always works, and it is working in my life now in the name of Jesus, according to Philippians 4:19. Now listen, I need you to give God praise right where you are. I need you to open your mouth and begin to worship God and believe God that the words you've spoken are coming to pass even as you've spoken. Them. Glory to God. And believe that the— oh my God, that your harvest is coming. Glory to God. Believe that your priorities are right and your priorities are straight in the name of Jesus. We give you glory, we give you honor, we give you praise. Glory to God. Listen, there are 20 of you right now that are listening to me. Listen, I don't have time for games. I don't have no gimmicks. I only say what God says. Now you could take this and throw it out the window, but remember, God is not mocked. He is neither deceived. Glory to God. Whatever a man sows, that shall he reap. There are 20 of you listening live or by replay. There's several of you on here right now, you just don't understand the cycle. And just because you may have sown this one time or did it before doesn't mean you're exempt now. Whenever God talks to you about a seed, he has a future on his mind. There are 20 of you listening to me now. You need to sow a seed of $500. I need you to obey God. And you know what, quite frankly, some of you get this word and listen and you never give. And if you can't, I understand, but this is not a seed you can afford. This is a sacrifice. God says there are 20 of you that need to obey, because remember, we just confessed it, that just like Abraham and Isaac who reaped a hundredfold in the same year, for those of you that obey I decree and declare over your life that before 2024 would end, you would reap a hundredfold return on this seed in the same year. I pronounce that word over your life because of your obedience. Oh my God, the ways to give on the screen. My God, I lost some of you, but listen, you better obey. I'm telling you, there's something God wants to for you and your finances before this year is out. And you need to trust God. You, you going from month to month trying to do stuff yourself. God says, I want to blow your mind. I want to— one of my daughters, uh, I didn't even ask for her to do this, but God put in her spirit last week to sow a seed of $500. Bam! 24 hours, the seed tripled. But I'm telling you right now, for those of you that obey tonight, up and above your tithe— not your tithe, pay your tithes, bring your tithe, return it to God— and then give him this $500 seed. He deserves your obedience. Look at my face, I'm dead serious, because I'm telling you, I see the portals opening for you. I'm telling, the portals are opening. The portals are opening. This is 5785. You got to position yourself. Those that are not in position are going to miss the blessing. Listen, before this year is out, a hundredfold is a— is 10,000%. Wait a minute, so you're telling me I can get 10,000% return on a $500 seed if I trust God? I'm telling you to you, yes, that's the word of God. And God said he reaped it in the same year. If he can do it for Isaac, he can do it for you. We just confessed it out of our mouth. The angels are already working on it for you. Why don't you obey and get the seed in the ground? The ways to give are on the screen. There are 20 of you that need to get this $500 seed in the ground now. Glory to God, glory to God. Alicia, we believe in God that God will prosper your way because you have a heart to give. Daughter, I said $500. There are 20 people with $500 that need to get— I, I know I know you're one of them, so there's 19 more of you that need to sow. Glory to God. There's 19 more of you that need to obey. I release the blessing. I release the blessing on your life. In the name of Jesus. And listen, as you sow, if some of you need to attach this to something, we're $9,000 away, glory to God, from moving into our building debt-free. And I believe that if every person under the sound of my voice obeys, glory to God. Father, I command Prophetess Cargill to reap this a hundredfold in this year, in the name of Jesus. And for every person that obeys, I command it to come back to them 10,000%. My God, my God, 10,000%. If you're not one of those 20 I want you to get your best sacrifice. But if you know you got the $500 that you could sacrifice, do it. Don't opt for another seed. Give this to God. It's for him. Listen, we got to get our sign up this week. We gotta— we're gonna pay for that sign. So your sowing is going to help that. That's a $4,000 sign. It's going to help us get all of our things into the house of God, the new equipment we need, and then we'll be in overflow even to go toward our new LED screen. The LED screen alone costs $10,000. We gonna get it, but I'm telling you right now, if you just need to attach it to something, that's what we're doing. I need your help. I need you to obey God. Nothing leaves heaven until something leaves earth. I'll say it again. Nothing leaves heaven until something leaves earth. Listen, I want you— I'm gonna say it again— nothing leaves heaven until something leaves earth. Get your seed in the ground. Some of you got businesses you need to prosper. Get your seed in the ground for your business. Some of you are believing God for a new house and to pay off the house you're in, to pay off your cars. Get your seed in the ground. Get in the circle of supernatural provision. I promise you, God will provide. Glory to God. Father, we pray for every gift and every giver now. Return it back to them a thousand times more. And Father, I particularly pray for those that listen to this word. And God, we understand if like Alicia, people just don't have it, but God, in the name of Jesus, those that listen and have it and never sow. Father, give them conviction to sow tonight, to help us do what you've called us to do. God, the people had a mind to work. The people were one around vision. So I pray that these people who are live or by replay would get that $500 seed in the ground. And I believe you, God, that we'll have a testimony We thank you, Holy God, that 20 people obeyed and gave to you this seed that was sown. And we praise you now in Jesus' name. Amen. Listen, guys, I love you, man. I pray you've received tonight. I don't know about you, this whole live has blessed me. I pray it has been a blessing to you. Y'all be blessed. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. I'll see you tomorrow morning at 5. Our leadership team, we're fasting. We end the fast. We're on a 7-day fast that ends on Thursday. Meet us in prayer in the morning, 5 AM. I'll see you there. Y'all be blessed.
Peace.
