CREATING A CULTURE OF KINGDOM WORSHIP, PART 1 | DR MIKE WOODS SR | 19 OCT 25

There is none like you. Eka basoya. No one else can touch my heart like you do. I can search for all eternity long. And find there is none like you. Come on, the worshipers that worship him, there's none like him. Open your mouth and worship him. Come on, give him the fruit of your lips. There's no God like our God. He's mighty and awesome. He's glorious and wonderful. Come on, give him the fruit of your lips.

Okay.

God, you're perfectly and absolutely wise. It's in you we live and move and have our being. You're the joy and the lifter of our head.

Can you remove burdens and you destroy yokes because of your anointing? Kela tamansarobore ataya. From age to age, you are God. You're eternal, you're wise, you're mighty, you're great. Beside you there is no other God. You're Alpha and Omega. You're the beginning and you're the end. You're comforter in our storms, God. You're the King of Kings and you're the Lord of Lords. You're the man from Galilee. Yes, you are. And we give you glory, we give you honor. You're a bridge over troubled water. There's none like you, God. You are Adonai. You are the mighty God. You are the Blessed One. El Shaddai. You are more than enough. You're El Elyon. You're the mighty wonder. Hey God, we give you praise. Praise and glory. We magnify you, we adore you. Come on, Zion, lift up your voice and bless him in this house. Come on, testify with your lips of his goodness. Testify with your lips. Oh God, we give you the glory. We give— come on, testify with your lips. Oh God, the Bible says, make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Come on, testify with your lips of his goodness. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. I heard the Lord say, you can dig a new well in worship today. Dig a new well. You don't have to rest in that dry place. Dig a new well in worship.

Dig a new well.

The Hebrews called it Rehoboth, the digging of new wells. I decree and declare, as you worship, you'll dig new wells in the spirit, and new joy will spring up, and new power will spring up, and new anointing thing will spring up. But this is the day that the Lord has made, and we shall rejoice and be glad in it. Come on, worship her! Come on, worship her! Jesus is here! Adonai is here! El Shaddai The Most High is here. Testify with your lips, testify with your hands, let your hands testify that he is good, that he is Lord, that he is King. Oh Jesus, not like you, God.

Not like you, God.

Not like you, God. You're mighty and wonderful. You're glorious and awesome. The Sovereign Ruler, the Mighty God.

Oh God, oh God, blessed be the great name of Jesus. Blessed be the great name of Jesus. We give you glory, Lord.

We honor you.

We adore you, Jesus. Yeah, you can dig new wells in worship.

Some of your dry places because of lack of worship, but you can dig new wells in worship.

We bless your name, God. Jehovah is your name. Jehovah is your name, and we bless you, Lord. You're Jehovah Jireh, our provider, and there's none like you, God. You're Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our sanctifier. You set us aside for assignment and purpose. You sanctified us to worship, and we give you glory.

There's none like you.

You're Jehovah M'Kaddish.

Lord, our righteousness. We're made righteous by your precious blood, by your atoning blood of Calvary, by your efficacious blood of the cross.

We're made righteous.

And we receive the righteousness of God.

We worship you for your sacrifice, God.

Jehovah Shabba. You're the Lord who is with us.

Thank you for being with us. Thank you for being here.

Thank you for dwelling in our midst, God. We bless your great name.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Glorify you.

Thank you, Lord. You're wonderful and mighty.

Be glorified.

You're Jehovah Adonai, the Lord, the Sovereign One, the Lord, the Ruler and Mighty God. We bless you and we honor your great name. Dig new wells in worship. In time there's deficiency and dryness It's an indicator that worship is lacking in that area. Yeah, Jesus, we bless you, we honor your great name. Wonderful Jesus, mighty God. Precious King, you're amazing, God. You rule and you super rule. Heaven is your throne and the earth is your footstool. The heavens declare your glory and the earth your handiwork. Oh, taste and see. That the Lord, he is good. Oh Jesus, thank you for your great mercy that endureth forever, and your truth endures to all generations. Wonderful Jesus, thank you. God, lift those hands. Just lift up in his presence. He's here.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

And we macrograph his great name.

Thank you, Jesus.

We worship you. We thank you, Lord. You're holy.

Holy.

And you're righteous. You're holy and righteous.

Thank you.

Come, Lord, abide with us. Your presence is all we need.

A heart to fix upon your face, our thankful lips are filled with praise.

Your presence, your presence is all we need. Hallelujah. Bless you, God. In that presence is fullness of joy. And at thy right hand are pleasures forevermore. Oh, Rabba satai, Abba. Thank you, Lord.

Is the light of my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life.

Of whom shall I be afraid?

When the wicked, even my foes, came to eat upon my flesh, they stumbled and they fell. For an host should encamp against me, and this will I become of them. One thing have I desired of the Lord, and that will I seek after, that I may dwell—

oh my God—

in the house of the Lord forever, to behold thy power to behold thy beauty.

Thank you, Jesus.

To behold thy glory.

Thank you, Jesus.

To encounter thy favor.

It's why I worship, it's why I sing, it's why I lift my hands.

Yes, Lord.

Thank you, Lord. To honor your name in the earth.

Your great name.

And men will know that you are God. That you are king. The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside still waters, he restores my soul for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through a valley and shadows of death, I fear no evil, for thou prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemies.

Goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life. I bless you, God, for being a good father, for being a good shepherd, for being mighty in battle, for being a strong tower. Thank you, Jesus. Jesus. Father, we declare today that your goodness never runs out. Your goodness is eternal.

Thank you, Jesus.

And I thank you, Lord, that you are the same yesterday, today, and forever. I bless you, oh God. You're mighty. You're the blessed King, and I give you the glory. Come on, clap your hands and praise God. Come on, let your hands testify to his goodness.

Come on, let your hands testify to his goodness. Hallelujah!

Let your hands testify to his goodness.

Glory to God!

We bless your name, God. Glory to God! And we bless you and we honor you.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord.

In the mighty name of Jesus. Mighty name of Jesus.

We bless your great name.

Bless your great name. Hallelujah.

Wonderful Jesus. We bless you, God. Hallelujah. Father, now as we open your word, I decree and declare, God, that the word will come with power, it will come with authority. And Father, your word will go out in such a manner that the weak would leave saying, I'm strong, that the poor will say, I'm rich, God. The discouraged will leave encouraged. Downers will leave with faith. And Father, we give you praise that what's to come in our lives is better than what has been. We thank you that no weapon formed against us can prosper. Yeah, we rejoice in that fact.

No weapon formed against us can prosper. We thank you, God, that every tongue that rises against us in condemnation, we will condemn. And we declare we condemn it in the name of Jesus, by the authority of your word and by the authority of your blood. Every word curse, we cause it to be condemned now in the name of Jesus.

And Father, we pray that we will have ears to hear what the Spirit will say to the church. And we bless you for it now in Jesus' name. Thank you for the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost. We give you praise and glory for it now in Jesus' name. Amen. Why don't you clap your hands again and tell the Lord thank you.

Come on, clap those hands and say thank you, Lord. Come on, why don't y'all lift your hands, testify for real to his goodness.

Wonderful Savior, we bless his name. Glory to God, we give God glory. I don't know about you, I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord.

Hallelujah!

I'm glad to be in this house this morning. Glory to God. Glory to God. It intrigues me, I mean, really, that people can just take joy in missing church. I don't know how folk do it. Glory to God. And, uh, there's no substitution for gathering with the saints. Amen. Glory to God. Uh, this is not optional. This is actually a requirement. Glory to God. So many things happen when we gather. We send a testimony to the world. One, that God is God, because we got up to come to a place to honor him. And when people see that, they know he's God. Glory to God that you could take the time and come to the house of worship of God you ain't never seen. Isn't that something? Praise God. Hallelujah! So I'm so grateful to be here today. Uh, to those of us that are watching online, stay with us. There's a word from the Lord. Glory to the name of God. But if you're in this city and you watching this stream, you need to be in the building on Sundays. Amen. Glory to God. All right, so we're going to get into this because I got a lot I want to try to cover this morning. Um, God began to speak to me about creating a kingdom culture of worship, and I wanted to kind of begin to lay a backdrop to this before we went into our Worship and Warfare weekend, because we got to understand just how powerful worship is and a culture of worship is when it comes to warfare.

If indeed—

watch this— we worshiped like we should— and I'm not just talking about it here, we're going to find out in a moment that worship is not restricted to a place, all right?

Uh, but if indeed—

hear me, family— we worship like we should we will have less warfare.

Matter of fact, can I submit to you that the church has too big of a devil?

I'm gonna say that again.

The church has too big of a devil. We deal with demons and warfare because we don't appropriate the presence in the right way. And so we tend to worship demonology, we tend to worship acts of deliverance. And the reality is, if we really worshiped and the presence came, demons can't hang around that. They can't hang around that in church, and they can't hang around that in your life, because a demon and God— watch this— cannot occupy the same space.

Okay, all right.

So when God shows up, demons flee. Are y'all here? So we exalt demonology over worship because sometimes we want to appear like we're more deep and more powerful than we really are. Warfare was designed to cast demons out of demonic systems, out of people who don't know God. It is unfortunate that people get saved, and because they don't understand worship and how to sacrifice their life, that they still need deliverance. And it's because this— what I'm about to teach— really hasn't been taught in the church. You know, people have hit at this, but they really haven't taught it. So the reality is we can go through years of being in church and go through the motions of church— watch this—

and never worship.

You can be saved for 40 years and never worship. That's a tragedy, but it's a true reality that's happening. And I'll be remiss in my duties as an apostle in the body of Christ to not address this foolery, because what we believe is, is that noise is the anointing.

Are y'all hearing this?

Watch this. On the flip side, we believe how soft we sing is the anointing.

Watch it.

Just because the song is slow don't make it worship.

Uh-oh.

Sometimes it can be slow and just dead.

Y'all got to talk.

Glory to God. At the end of the day, just because you singing it slow don't mean you worshiping. Worship is not a matter of tempo and rhythm. Worship is a matter of the heart. Okay, let me get in this because I'm jumping ahead of myself. Okay, come— because for real, guys, I'm gonna tell you something. We got to keep this running so we can really shift the world where they need to be. Do you realize there wouldn't be a need for a worship team or worship leaders if the body of Christ were really true worshipers? We would enter his gates with thanksgiving. We will enter the courts with praise. We wouldn't be waiting for somebody to grab a mic and start telling us what to do. Okay, but I'm telling you, that's what the church does. Matter of fact, today's church, we show up trying to get a cup of coffee first, be in the lobby drinking coffee, eating donuts. We ain't giving no thanks. We drink coffee, eat donuts, and then we get in church, we wait for somebody to prompt us to worship. But the reason for this is because we have not created a culture of Kingdom worship. All right, so we are now challenged— watch this— as a people to— watch this— to create a model that can't be imitated by others. Are y'all hearing this? The word rada means dominion. So we have to present dominion models that work in advancing the kingdom. I'm already convinced— watch this— I know that everybody on the planet and on Earth can't follow what God has given me. So I'm not intimidated when our crowds are small.

So I don't want y'all to be intimidated either.

I'm not intimidated when it's just me. Y'all are talking because at the end of the day, the message It's not about who's in the building, it's about releasing a sound into the earth that people will surrender to. That's right. So we gotta say that when we say we must create a culture of worship. Say kingdom culture of worship. So before we get into this, let's look at a few words and then we're gonna put a scripture on the into this, because in order to do this, we gotta just have a total understanding of what all this means. So let's look at the word kingdom first. So the word kingdom is the rule, the royalty, the resources, and the reign of the king. It's from a Greek word basileia. And again, it should be up there on the screen. It's the rule, the royalty, the reign, and the resources of a king. So you, you break it down: the king's dom— or the king's domain, the king's rule, the king's ability to be in charge. You cannot have a kingdom without a king. All right, somebody running around talking about they got a kingdom or they in a kingdom, you need to be asking, where's the king? Y'all hear this? Because you cannot have a kingdom if there's not a ruler. Let me break this down. There are other kingdoms than the kingdom of God. One, there are kingdoms of men. Where in the kingdoms of man there are kings that rule in those kingdoms, whether it be a country, a nation, or whether it be a culture where there are rulers in that country that operate in authority. Watch this, there are people in spheres of influence that are the kings of that area. Watch this, Jesus is the King of Kings. So that means each one of us as people of dominion— touch yourself, say, I'm a person of dominion. Come on, say it again. Say, I'm a person of dominion. So you created— watch this— to have dominion somewhere, to have kingship, lordship in the lowercase, somewhere. Are y'all here?

Amen.

You ought to have authority over something. All right, as a believer, you are— did y'all believe what y'all just said? You're a person of dominion. So if you're a person of dominion, you shouldn't always be taking the back seat. You shouldn't always be following the lead of the world. You should be ruling in your fear of influence. So we should be the kings that are operating the kingdoms of man, that are in control. Okay, I don't have time to unpack that totally, but let's move on. There's also the kingdom of darkness. It's real. It's real. There are principalities, princes in the palaces. There are strongholds. There are demons. There are witches. There are warlocks who operate in the kingdom of darkness. The Bible calls Satan the prince of the power of the air. He rules in the kingdom of darkness. Are y'all hearing this? But no kingdom— watch this— has authority over God's kingdom. And whether it be the kingdom of man or the kingdom of darkness, whether it be— glory to the name of God— any other sub-kingdom that is established in the world The kingdom of God and his people should have authority over these spaces.

Are y'all here?

I mean, really, we, we got to get in place. Okay, so a kingdom again is to rule the royalty, the reign, and the resources of the king. So when we start talking about the kingdom of God, let's deal with the rule. He owns everything. Last time I checked, the scripture says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.

Glory!

Everything belongs to him.

Watch this, including you and I. Amen.

Amen. Them and they that dwell therein. There's no human breathing that don't belong to God. Saint and sinner alike is his. Are y'all hearing this? The devil has no people. I want you to grab that. God owns everybody. People can choose to serve who they like. Worship brings revelation that he's worthy to be a ruler. Or to be a king, so people will choose him. So it's the rule, says the rule of God, it's the reign of God. That's his royal position. That's the seat he sits upon. God reigns from on high. In the Lord's Prayer, or the model prayer, Jesus, when he taught the disciples to pray, our Father who art in heaven, That's where he is. God is in heaven. Are y'all hearing this? He sits on the throne in heaven and he rules and reigns from heaven. It's position. He's higher than us. He doesn't need oxygen to breathe. Are y'all hearing this? He doesn't need a heart and a liver. To be alive. He reigns supreme. They were singing it earlier. He's Adonai, Sovereign Ruler. Watch this. His reign suggests as king that he'll never die, which means there'll never be another king. There's no other king coming after God to take his throne. You've got some antichrists As the people out here, they will teach in error that God will be replaced or God will be overthrown. When Lucifer tried to overthrow God, y'all remember what happened to him? Yeah, he got kicked out of heaven, and now he's wishing he never did that because he was sentenced to hell. Are y'all hearing this? So he reigns. You got to accept that and believe it if you're going to create a culture of Kingdom worship. Royalty deals with the idea that indeed he is a king and should be honored as such. Royalty deals with the idea that when you see him, when you experience him you must react in honor. You cannot approach the King without something. If you study earthly kingdoms, you never come before a king empty-handed.

It's a custom.

You should never come before God without worship. That's what you give him. Are y'all hearing me? To celebrate the fact that he's king. And then fourthly, a kingdom suggests the resources of the king. So if I'm in the kingdom and I'm a citizen of God's kingdom, I have the opportunity now to participate in commonwealth. Every kingdom— what has what is called commonwealth All right, which means all of the citizens have wealth in common to the king. The king takes care of them. Are you hearing this? Which means the king chooses the citizens because the king knows who he wants to take care of. If you were born in England, you don't automatically become a citizen. You have to be chosen at a certain time to be granted citizenship. As a matter of fact, citizenship is a lot. And once you get your— people celebrate that when they get citizenship, because now the king's commonwealth makes you there. That's why you ain't gonna see no homelessness, you're not gonna see none of that, because the king is going to take care of the kingdom. Because the citizens are a reflection of the king. All right, that's good.

Are y'all with me?

Now watch this, same way the kingdom of God. While you thought you found God, you didn't find Jesus. He never was lost. Well, are y'all hearing this? I found the Lord in 1961. No, you didn't. He wasn't lost. The Bible clearly says you didn't choose me, I chose you, that you can go forth and bring forth fruit and your fruit remain. So God chose us to be sinners. Matter of fact, before you were formed— hallelujah— according to Romans 8, he selected you, predestined you to be a child of God. Before you ever got here, you were selected to be a king's kid, to be a citizen in God's kingdom. Watch this. Really means now you have access to his resources. His commonwealth, which is his— oh my God, not only his financial system but his healthcare system. You got healthcare without care. You ain't got to have no Blue Cross card either. All y'all need to do is tap in to worship, and Jehovah Rapha, the King, will heal you. So for this reason, we got a lot of sick among us because they don't understand the resource of healing. And when real worship occurs, healing is released, resources are released, deliverance is released. Are y'all here? The promises of the King are made manifest in our life.

Now watch this, and I'm gonna move to the next one because I stayed way too long with that.

You will never be able to have kingdom manifestation without private consecration.

I'm gonna say it again.

Most of the time we don't see the kingdom and its authority and its rule and its reign and its royalty manifest in our life because we lack private Consecration. So worship again is not just a tool we use in service. We ought to have private consecration outside of this building.

Amen.

It's almost futile for you to think, and lofty even, that just because you showed up and saw the song that God was going to manifest himself. When you really have not got this conversation all week— are y'all here? No time with God, no time in prayer, no time in the word. But then we show up and want God to shower us down with his presence. And then when he don't, guess what we do? We try to manufacture presence. We try— we tap into a familiar realm and call it God. But you need some private consecration. I'm just trying to help us so we can tap into the King, his rule, his reign, his royalty, and his resources. Private consecration is the substratum of tapping into the kingdom. You gotta want to fellowship with the king. Are y'all with me? Okay, all right, I'm gonna leave y'all alone. All right, let me move, let me move. The next one is culture, because I'm just breaking down these words in the title. I already know I'm not gonna get through with this, so stay with me. Culture is the successful transfer—

watch this—

of intent ideas, innovation, and the inspiration of one in authority to a massive group of people. I'm gonna say it again. Culture is the successful transfer— somebody say transfer— of the intent, the ideas, the innovation, and the inspiration of one in authority to a massive group of me. Cultures are created when the purpose or the intent of the one in authority is successfully transferred. So I got to superimpose the intent of God on a society. That's what we're here to do, so people can see through our lives God's intention. Well, really, what is his intention? Relationship with his creation. So culture should be us developing relationship, not religious responses to God.

Are y'all here?

We need to know him for real because that's the intent of this whole thing, not just supposed to get saved. Learn a few scriptures and hop around and shout a little bit and, and don't talk to him no more until we get back to church. The intent is to have a loving, passionate relationship with his children, with his citizens, because he's a king. That needs to be transferred to the world, that this is the desire of God. Our predecessors, and many times have stopped at church, and most people define God through church, right? Nothing wrong with the church, we need the church, the church is important. However, God is not limited to church activity. Are y'all hearing this? He's not limited to us having good church. His intention is to know us. Can I submit to you? And I won't stay here, but I'm gonna say it: you cannot worship God if you don't know God. The Bible said them that worship, worship in spirit and in truth. Truth is what you know. In spirit is being one with your spirit or his spirit. We're not doing this ignorantly, we're doing this because there's a God that's sitting on the throne for real that wants to know us. And you're ignorant if you believe—

not in here, but out there—

that God ain't real. You're just ignorant. Because what you need to do— I said, I know I said, I said ignorant. If you believe that just because you never tapped into him through your religious approach that he ain't real, I got news for you. His intent is to know you. I said not only the intent, his intent. Culture is when we transfer his ideas. What is God's ideas for the world? None of his ideas, his innovations, his creatorial ability. God takes nothing and creates something. God is an innovator. And guess what? When we're really in a culture of worship, God will start giving us innovations on how to create things in the realm of the spirit that are manifest in the world and make the world better. That's how he rose as a king. And then his inspiration— if you get inspired by God, you really would never need another person to inspire you. It's good to have other people, but guess what? They are only a second witness to what God does through his intent, through relationship. Cuz when you spend time with God, he will inspire you. He'll inspire you to be better. He'll inspire you toward excellence. He'll inspire you, glory to God, to not operate at this mediocre level and accept things at its lowest point. He'll inspire you to desire more than you have in him. That's culture. Now let me show you what that looks like in real time. So let me use this culture, hip-hop culture. So the people that are a part of the hip-hop culture, that culture has been transferred successfully.

Mhm. Because guess what?

Everybody in that culture where they pass out here. Everybody got a grill, ain't got no money in the bank but got $10,000 in their mouth. Are y'all hearing this? Gold with diamonds in the grill. But again, and watch this, every Black person under 40 and under, which is a shame, want to be a rapper that's tuned into that culture. 'Cause everybody think they can have lyrics like the rapper, but you know, everybody's not gonna be Lil Wayne or T.I. The reality is the people that are doing that, half of them folk ain't even had them kind of lives that they rapping about. Y'all ain't gotta talk to me. They grew up in the suburbs and rapping about the ghetto. And a lot of these young people listen to it and think it's hard. Are y'all hearing this?

Right.

Listen, but the culture has been transferred successfully because those in that culture, they look like that culture. At one time in the culture, everybody was wearing thick gold chains around. And guess what? All of them, even if it was a fake gold chain, they'd go out and get They'd be green under the chair, but still walking around with that fake gold, fake gold teeth in his mouth, wanting to be a part of the hip-hop culture. What if we could successfully transfer the culture of the kingdom? My Lord, what every person now wants to acknowledge God is king. Wants to fulfill their assignment, wants to operate in their purpose, the world would be an awesome place. Are y'all hearing this? I'm talking about we would have no issues in the world if everybody embraced the culture. Now that's high expectations for everybody, but we ought to expect the church to at least want what God wants. I'll take kingdom over church any day. The church is— watch this— this, the buildings we go to really is not even the church. The church, the word in Greek is ecclesia, which means called out one. It's not a space. You are the church because you're called out to do the assignment of the king. But everybody gets something. I'm going to church. Now you're going to a building, you're going to an assembly where we come together. Watch this, this should be Kingdom University where we come in this building and learn how to go out of it and be kingdom citizens. That's right.

Amen.

Are y'all here?

Amen.

But our expectation of church is we want the lights low, we want smoke flashing everywhere, you know, because guess what? It reminds a lot of people that are in the club, man, it's this atmosphere right here. But reality is that's not what worship is. And when we assemble, we are simple to learn.

Yeah, yeah.

Out of all the other stuff we do, obviously we are here to learn kingdom. To learn how to be a culture of kingdom people.

Okay, okay, I hear this.

Amen. All right, I got to move.

I can stay there, but I got to move. We'll hit it again before I get through with this, cuz I'll be teaching this for a few, few days.

All right, worship.

Worship—

oh, here we go— is the honor and homage of one in authority from the people. That's, that's what it is. The word worship is from a Greek word proskynatos, which means to lay prostrate. It means to become an inferior so that you might honor the superior. So now watch this. That means you shouldn't worship anything but God. You shouldn't worship your church.

You shouldn't worship your people, your preacher.

Are y'all hearing this? You worship God alone. Are y'all hearing this? Please don't ever worship me, no matter what gift you see me moving, no matter how eloquent you think I speak. Glory to God. Do not worship me.

Amen.

Because the moment you start worshiping humans, God says, I have no other God before me. And what God will do is, okay, y'all want to worship him or her, I'm gonna show you they're just a man or they're just a woman. I can go down the list. I won't do it this morning, but I'll call up to— because these are notable. One, the great ministry that A.A. Allen had, great ministry of healing, deliverance. God used him greatly.

Yeah, yeah.

But he died of alcohol abuse because people started worshiping him. People worshiping Benny Hinn, man. They go to— I'm talking about it got where it wasn't about God, right? And it started being about him. Y'all ain't got to go— I'm going to see Benny Hinn. Wait a minute, I'm driving 6 hours, I'm going to see Benny Hinn. Wait a minute, you ought to be going for the move of God. I'm going to see Benny. Closer they get, it'd be falling out at the wheel because the glory hit them. I'm going because I'm going to see Benny. And I'm inclined to believe a lot of times people were falling out in the spirit of Benny at some point. Y'all ain't got to say that. Not the Spirit of God. Listen, y'all ain't got to say that. Michael Jackson, when he was alive, could show up to a group of people and they'll be falling out when he walked by. Don't mess with me. I'm gonna tell you right now, a lot of this stuff, it don't be God. The Beatles would show up and folk be falling out in the spirit of the Beatles. Elvis would— he would do some of the same stuff Benny would do. He would get through singing a concert and go, whoa, and folk would just fall out in the crowd because he blew in the mic. Be careful because you can get seduced into something. And you start worshiping. There are two things that happen in leadership. You can be a conducer or a seducer. A seducer pulls you into themselves. A conducer pulls you through themselves to God. Yeah, come on, preach! And I love Benny, but it wasn't him, it was the people that started worshiping him.

That's right.

So God said, let me show y'all he a man. So he went through a very public divorce, start going through stuff that really should have been private. God said, this is a human. That's right.

That's right.

My point is, God is the only one we should worship.

Only one. Only one.

You, you need conducers that pull you through to God. So you'll worship him only. We saw just recently stuff with Bishop Jakes. Folks was worshiping TD. TD can't fill up them arenas like he used to, and, and age has something to do with that, but also that exposure. Are y'all hearing this? Because, folks, it ain't him. He's human. Are y'all hearing this? For the record, in my opinion, Bishop T.D. Jakes, one of the greatest preachers ever lived. He can preach, man. And when folks start worshiping his anointing and his ability, God said, uh-uh, he's a man. Are y'all hearing me? So we become inferior to a superior. Just think about that when you start doing that to You have inferiorized yourself to this entity who has a gift that God gave them. Are y'all hearing this? Because without the gift, they just like you. And if you surrender, you can use your gift and God can get the glory out of it just like he does them. Are y'all hearing this?

Yes, yes, come on now, Jesus. So worship is to honor and to show homage in humility.

You know, if you had that— again, when you got that attitude, you enter the gates with thanksgiving.

I'm going to church to worship God.

That's right.

You be in your car worshiping. Yes, yeah. You don't wait till you get here. Oh man, are y'all hearing this? And I get sometimes you just got to, you know, you pressing.

I get it.

But the easiest way to press is in worship. Are y'all hearing this?

That's right, that's right.

Is to give God what belongs to him.

He's due honor. Say that one. Say, God is due honor. All right, let's get into these points. I'm almost done.

First point, write it down or take a picture of the slide, whatever you want to do.

Every human— say every human— every human is designed to worship. Okay, there's not one human being on this planet, whether they're worshiping or not, that was not designed and created to worship.

Every human.

That means God now—

watch this—

has to align himself with those who choose to abide with his intent for humans to worship. God doesn't show up for people who refuse to worship him. Matter of fact, God is actually looking for worshipers. Saint John's Gospel, chapter 4, verses 23 and 24, it just summarizes like this: the true worshiper shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth. Here it is: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. He's in hot pursuit looking for a worshiper. Now y'all remember what worship was? One that humbles himself in inferiority towards a superior. In your heart, you know God is superior. He's looking for a true worshiper that don't just sing the right songs or have the right lingo or play the right strings on the keyboard. He's looking for somebody who's got worship in their heart.

Okay, they know I'm King, so I can Show up for them and bless them.

Say, I'm created to worship. Psalm 150:6 says, let everything that have breath praise the Lord. So if you're breathing— are y'all here?

That's right.

You ought to be worshiping.

That's right. Got the correlation there.

There should not be a day that goes by Where breath is running through your lungs that you don't worship. That's right.

Amen.

Amen. You can't be saying, well, I'mma— when I— oh gee, when I get to church, I'mma tear the church up and worship. Now go and tear up the place where you at. Don't come in here and tear up something. Tear up your house. I'm going to tear that— I'm turning over chairs. I'm going I'm going to lay out. Now go and lay out before God and worship him at home. Guess what? When you get here, it won't be that hard. Don't go and tear up the church. No, don't tear up the furniture at the church. Tear up your house, cuz every day you breathing, you need to be worshiping.

That's right.

Amen.

Amen.

You need to be praising. You need to be giving God glory because you got breath. Watch this. This says to me that by design I'm a worshiper, that worship is not learned behavior. Oh God, because you would go to church and learn, okay, that's what worship is, because most churches think that worship is one fast song and three slow ones. That's how they get a list, the set list every Sunday. 2 fast, 3 slow, 1 fast, 2 slow. But worship can break out on a fast or slow. Are y'all hearing this? I need y'all to hear me, because it's a matter of the heart. Watch this, it's a blueprint that's built into your creation. Oh God. Listen, it's a blueprint, a design that gets you into the kingdom. Matter of fact, worship is access to the King, and you got the blueprint because God wanted you to always be able to find him. He wanted you to always have something to connect you to him. So if you want to— if you feel like you're out of touch feel like God ain't showing up. I said it earlier, there's some dry places and you need some new wells. The blueprint is in you. Dig those wells in worship.

That's good, but just because— okay, well, I see them lifting their hands. I'mma get back.

They learn behavior.

This church singing these songs like this, so that must be worship. No, worship is a matter of the heart.

That's right.

It's a matter of consecration. Your soul and your spirit is wired to express this homage to the God that's greater than you. Oh boy, it's already in you. It has to be cultivated.

It has to be challenged. Are y'all hearing me? Amen. Because when problems come up, that's when you need worship the most. Because I, I'm gonna be very transparent with you. I— maybe you have, and maybe you never did it, but I, I have not forgot how to fight. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. Neither have I forgotten how to cuss. Okay, okay, all right, whatever. I forgot. I still— I don't do it, but I even got how to, right? And transparently, let me tell you, there's some times come up I want to fight and cuss. It's worship that keeps me from cussing a joker out or laying hands on that. I ain't talking about with oil, I'm talking about with these hands right here. I'm just trying to help you. It's worship. It's worship. That's right. This blueprint in me that keeps me. That's right. Oh my God, sometimes that— if, if, if I'm having a, a bad day playing golf, man, that golf ball will test your salvation. You know you did everything right. The ball was supposed to go the way you hit it. And before you know it, something wells up. You want to cuss the ball out. You wanna— and the ball can't even hear you. You want to throw your club and break it. You know what that means? You gotta buy another one. So you know what I learned to do when that stuff comes up? I just worship. I got a little speaker on my cart that plays music out of my phone and tells me all my yardages and distances. I keep it playing worship. So when that thing comes up in me, I'm like, I just go right into worship.

Thank you, Jesus. We give you glory for that ball.

We give you praise. We honor you.

You're so good.

You're bigger than this game. Are y'all hearing this? Because I haven't forgotten it. I mean, I'm human.

Y'all don't want to hear my pastor, right?

Okay, but I'm trying to show you how to control your temptations to not to do things that are not Godly. There's a blueprint in you to keep you out of jail. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. I mean, you get— you so broke you want to rob the bank?

I'm going up in Bank of America today.

I've been praying for you for money. I'm going up in here. And I just need about $30,000, God, just let me get away. But if you, you got, you got a blueprint in you to keep you from going up in that bank. Glory to God. You going to worship, it's going to keep you out of jail. God just shoot the word with your saved self, and by virtue of the fact you ask God, had the unmitigated gall and audacity to ask God to let you get away. He going to make sure you get caught. Now you— he going to say, no, you got this twisted. I went to bank on this one. You stealing. Are y'all hearing this? So you got a blueprint in you.

That's right.

Say, I'm designed to worship. Over to the next. So the next time you feel provoked to react in a way, glory to God, that's not godly, make up in your mind, I'm gonna give this one to God. Because guess what? God can fight for you better than you can. The Bible said, vengeance is mine, says the Lord.

Oh boy.

All right, let me move on to the next point. I stayed on that too long. Say this with me. Say, God is with me. Say, I'm designed to worship. Say, I'm designed to give God glory. Say, I'm designed to lift my hands. I'm designed to open my mouth and give God thanks and give God praise. Say, I'm designed to live a life that reflects worship. If you believe that, give God some praise in this place. Hallelujah. All right, next point: worship— here we go— is reserved for kingdoms.

Worship is reserved reserved for kingdoms. Because in a kingdom, again, the king is always honored and always worshiped.

Say that with me.

Say, worship is reserved for kingdoms. Watch this.

So watch this. Every resource—

we already talked about that— every position of king is available for you.

The only way you get that release or to get an audience with a natural king, you must honor him.

You must worship him.

You come in his presence, you gotta bow down. You gotta come bearing gifts. If you want to move heaven— are y'all hearing this? You must become a worshiper. And decide I am in a kingdom with a king that deserves my worship. Say to them, say, God deserves my worship. Now here's another point, it's not in my notes, but I want you to write it down. Just like you can't worship God if you don't know God, here's another one, there's another side note. Write this down: you cannot worship God without a sacrifice. In the kingdom, sacrifice is required. You really ain't worshiping if you weren't sacrificial. Let me just use an example of worship service in the church. Lord, while it's not restricted, when you come to worship, you have to display a level of sacrifice in that worship. You can't be up, up in the worship saying, Lord, I can't, I wish they hurry up with this song. Song just really too long.

Jesus, well, can we go to the next song or something? I don't like this song.

Are y'all hearing this? If you're doing that, you're not worshiping, okay? Because guess what you did? You made it about the song. Because what the church has done is fall in love with worship and not the King, right? We worship the process of worship and never really actually worship. Oh God, because you worshiping the song. If you're really a worshiper, it don't matter what's being sung. 'Cause you take that song and you point it toward him. Yeah, yeah. And you said, God, I really don't like this song, I'm being honest, but I love you. And you worship him in spite of— are y'all hearing this?

Yeah.

Nobody's trying to win a Dove Award or a Stellar Award with the song, right? This is about him. Oh God, that's why I can go to any kind of church. Okay, I'll be complaining if I got to preach at a Baptist church. I'll be suffering through all of the stuff they do before I get up. But you know what I do in the midst of it?

I worship.

I push me aside and make the sacrifice. Lord, this is getting on my nerves, but you get worthy. I find a way to worship through the hymn, through the A&B selection, or the choir. Are y'all hearing this? Because it's not about what they're doing, it's about my relationship with God. That's creating a culture of worship. And many times when I've done that, because I can't play with it, God starts taking me up in worship, and then the rest of the folk, they start going with me. They forget about the stuff that's going on. Because at the end of the day, worship is about God and not you being entertained. All we do in church is bring the activity that we display as King's citizens daily into the building. Hard to worship corporately when you don't worship individually.

It's tough.

I'm talking about you can have the best worship leader on earth.

Chandler Moore could be standing up here, you still won't worship.

Are y'all hearing this? CeCe Winans could be standing right here. If you're not a worshiper, that's just gonna be good singing to you. Okay, okay. Are y'all hearing this? But it's not about the good singing. We want to do it in excellence, right?

Right.

But we can't make it about that. We don't want bad singing, but we want to make it about God. I want you to get caught up in the singing because our singers sing well. They rehearse to get to what they do. But don't make it about what you hear. That's right.

Amen.

Because worship is reserved for kingdoms. You have to come here— I'm a citizen of the kingdom and I come to worship the King. That's right. Amen. You definitely got to do it when I get up and start singing, because I don't sing as good as them. But I don't care whether you like my singing or not, because guess what? It's about him. I'm expressing my homage to him. I'm not entertaining you. Are y'all hearing this?

Amen. So worship is reserved for kingdoms.

In every kingdom, the king has to be honored, including this one.

So every day you ought to be a worshiper because you're in the kingdom every day. You may not be in church every day, but you're in the kingdom every single day.

Right?

Amen.

Are y'all here?

Amen.

Because worship is the acknowledgment of the lordship of king. It's you acknowledging that he is Lord.

That's right. Amen.

Which brings me to my next point, number 3. Write it down, take a picture of the slide, whatever you got to do. The lordship of kings is what makes worship natural.

When you understand that the king truly is Lord, Lord. Worship becomes a natural occurrence. It ain't got to be pumped, it ain't got to be primed, it ain't got to be built up. It's natural. I worship God because he's Lord. But that has to be real, that has to be true, in spirit and in truth.

Are y'all with me?

See, real worship—

whoo-wee—

it happens when the worshiper has resolved that they are nothing without the one they worship. As long as you think you got a hand in your life, you're never gonna truly worship. Long as you think you can handle it yourself— I can work this out, I got this— but worship says, I'm nothing without you, God. Worship says, I'm smart, but I need you because you gave me the brain.

Amen.

Worship says, glory to God, hallelujah, I'm gifted, I'm talented, but I cannot operate effectively in my gift without you, your Lord.

Amen.

It comes natural when you know nothing functions, nothing moves without him. The psalmist says it's in him we live, In him we move, in him we have our being. Sound like Lord to me. Nothing works without God. And when you really get that, real worship happens.

Man, I'm still in my introduction.

Let me move on. But say that when we say he's the Lord of everything, he's the ruler of all things.

Ruler of all things.

Said nothing, nothing happens without him, without him. And when you understand that, that's right. Let me give you an example. Some people worship their jobs, and let me show you how they worship it.

They know that if they don't show up and do that time They won't get a check. Are you hearing this? Guess what they do even when they don't feel like going, even when they don't want to take off? They want to take off and they just don't need to take off and won't.

Are y'all here?

Yeah, because they know that job is going to provide them a check if they give them time.

Not saying you should work, but that's a level of worship because you, you put the job in a lordship position. You said let's pray at 5, let's worship at 5, let's walk through the word at 5 AM in the morning.

Some people get up, some people don't.

Are y'all hearing this? But they get them to go to their job at 5. Are y'all hearing this? It's a matter of priority. You have to choose for this to become natural. It's natural. All I'm saying, it's natural. You go to work because you know you're gonna get a check and you know you gotta take care of your family. It ought to be just as natural to worship so you can assess the King.

Amen.

Because worship is access to the King. So again, you shouldn't go a day without worshiping. Matter of fact, every moment you have, you should be uttering worship under your breath. I'm always, thank you, Jesus.

I was in the class yesterday, and I think it was other people in there, and something hit me, and I said, thank you, Jesus.

And I don't think many of the people in there were saved.

But people start—

but listen, it hit me that fast because I'm always worshiping. Are y'all hearing this?

Because he's Lord, it's natural. I don't need a Hammond B-3, I don't need the right sound, I just need him.

Amen.

To make it natural. Are y'all here? Glory to God. Here we go, then we're gonna read a scripture.

Next one: worship benefits the worshiper, not the king. I know we thought we were doing God a favor when we worship, but God is God all by himself. Matter of fact, the Bible said he declared by himself that he is God. He's God alone. If you don't open your mouth, he will not stop being God if you choose not to worship him. I'm gonna say it again: worship is for the worshiper, not the king.

'Oh, I'm gonna worship because God loves my worship.

He just love how I sound.' No, ma'am.

No, sir.

Worship is for you. Worship gives you again access to the King and his stuff. It opens doors in the realm of the spirit for you. God like, okay, they honor me, I'm so glad. Now I'mma open this door for them so they can experience my resources, experience my rule, my reign, and my royalty, so they can know who I really am.

Amen.

It's for you.

Amen.

So that should motivate you to worship, because worship gets you favor with the king. See, watch this. In the natural sense, the greater the honor, the greater the release of favor from the throne. God loves worship, but all it's going to do when you worship is give you deeper access the more you tap in and worship him. You want favor? Worship. You want God to open some doors that's been closed?

Worship.

You know what most folks do when the door won't open? They try to pry it open themselves, and that's not— that's not cool, for real, because you really don't want to be nowhere God is not. I need you to hear me. I never want to be where God was.

I want to be where God is.

If God leaves this church, you ain't got to worry about leaving because I'm leaving first. I don't care who physically doesn't come because the quality of a service is not determined by the quantity of people.

Amen.

Amen. Matter of fact, too many folk can mess it up. If you're not careful, too many folk with the wrong spirit can mess up the flow. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. So I'm not— so even though I believe God's going to bless us with quantity, I'm not so impressed when I see quantity if God ain't there. Amen. When people are lining up to go to church to see a man— y'all ain't talking to me here— and they leave and they still smoking weed, still lying, still cheating, got no deliverance in their life, that tells me something's wrong with that. Amen. All right, I'm just saying, I want to be where God is, not where he was. You— there's folks still sitting up in the church because they're emotionally attached to it.

Well, God used to move here, man, the glory.

And they still worry about what God did in '80. The '80s is over, and the glory— ikkebab is written on the door. The glory is gone. I mean, you walk in church and see it right there, Iggy Bob, Iggy Bob, and you just keep walking in thinking the sign was lying. It ain't lying. Ain't no glory there no more. The glory is gone. Singing the same old stuff, going through the same old motions, and no manifestation of God nowhere.

Nowhere, nowhere, because people have learned that worship is for them. See, you ought to put demands on the worship service. You ought to come in so radical in your worship and in your expression toward God that it's hard for the people that's leading worship to get theyself together.

You make them go higher. Are y'all hearing this?

That's right.

Because of how you're pressing into God.

That's right.

Come on now.

Worship benefits you, not the King.

He's already King. He's already favored. He's already wealthy and rich. He's already carrying light and glory. He wants to pass it on to you. It benefits you. Are y'all here?

Amen.

All right, now here's the scripture. I'm almost done. Go to Genesis 22. We gonna be in this a lot until— matter of fact, I'm gonna be visiting it during the warfare conference too, because worship is vital to warfare.

Jesus 22:5.

We're gonna see some letters here.

The Bible says, and Abraham said unto his young men—

say young men. Those men, that represents immaturity. It represents not a full age.

Okay, abide ye here with the ass.

That's the King James. Somebody said, well, Apostle, that ain't in my Bible, they say donkey. Well, the King James Version says ass.

Says, abide ye here with the ass, and I and the lad— here it is— will go yonder.

Remember how the old mothers used to say yonder? Hallelujah, we're going yonder.

But that's higher. We'll go higher and worship and come again to you. Here's some keys in this, but before I give this, let me just give you— let me catch you up. So in verse 1, the Bible says the Spirit of the Lord spoke to Abraham and said to him, and he tempted him and said, take your son, your only son Isaac, and offer him upon a mountain which I'll tell you. First thing there is, is that Abram had relationship with God. Remember again, you can't worship God if you don't know God. So God was able to speak to him because of relationship, because of the relationship that worship had built between him and God. I'm telling y'all now, worship builds relationship between you and the Father. He will dialogue with you when you come as an inferior to a superior. Secondly, he tells him, take your son, offer him on a mountain. I tell you, there's the other point: you cannot worship God without a sacrifice. Worship always involves giving up something. In this case, the sacrifice is Isaac. The firstborn of Abram. This is, this is heavy because now I put myself— because it's hard for me to really teach something and not aligning with it and becoming one with the text. So I'm saying now, if God said to me, take your firstborn and offer him, I'm not gonna be so quick like Abram to say, here am I. I'm gonna have some deeper conversation. Just me. Y'all, y'all can look at me like, like you want, but I'm gonna have some deeper conversation with the Lord. I know he ain't doing everything he's supposed to do. I know he ain't living for you, but why you want me to kill him? Give him a chance to live. That's my firstborn. I'm gonna plead on his behalf. Abram readily said Yeah, we got this.

We're gonna take him and we're gonna sacrifice.

You going down verse 3 and 4, he— the Bible said he saddled the ass, got wood and all the stuff he needed for the burnt offering, and they started marching. 3 days in—

this is interesting to me—

the Bible said Abraham saw the place afar off.

He saw the place where he needed to get to to make the sacrifice. He saw the higher place.

A lot of times when you start in this worship culture journey, you will have to get a vision which is going to motivate you to keep going when it gets hard, because there's gonna be times— watch this— physically, mentally, you won't feel like worship. You can't tell me Abram wasn't having a mental battle right, taking his son. And the Bible says he saw 3 days, he saw the place afar off. 3 days represent third dimension.

Understand, the third dimension is the place where God dwells, is the place where God encounters us, it's the place where God visits us.

Jesus died, on the third day he rose.

Third dimension. Outer court, inner court, Holy of Holies.

Third dimension. Y'all get it? Faith, hope, love.

The greatest is love.

Third dimension. Body, soul, spirit. Spirit is in the third dimension. So, so on the third day, now he gets a revelation. The revelation only comes because he's obedient. Are you hearing this? God will reveal to you the vision, his optimal reality. Out of obedience. Sometimes we don't see the end or where we're going or what God's trying to do because we're operating in disobedience.

We gotta do what he says.

Are you hearing this?

As long as you think, I got this, I can handle this, I don't need God, you're gonna always be wondering what's going on. Here we go. We get to verse 5. Abram looks at everybody and said, okay, y'all young men, you can't go up here because you're not of full age.

Everybody can't go where you're trying to go and worship.

Because everybody won't understand your sacrifice.

Are y'all hearing this? And then watch this— immature people. And these young people could also represent the fact that they could stop the sacrifice, right? Abram was an old man. These were young men. Isaac was their friend. If he took them up there, they could have possibly jumped him and said, man, no, you ain't gonna kill Isaac. And stopped him from obeying. You got to be careful rolling with people who don't have the maturity to walk where you're trying to go. You can't let everybody close. You can't let everybody know what you're doing, because at the end of the day, if they're immature, they'll try to stop you. Y'all heard me say it before, you cannot fit a 16 by 20 idea in a 3 by 5 mind. You got a big 16 by 20 vision and dream and you trying to stuff it into this little 3 by 5 mind. They ain't gonna never get it. They have not grown to that capacity. So Abraham said, okay, me and the boy, we going, y'all stay here. So you got to take the inventory if you want to create a culture of worship of the people that could possibly hinder you from going higher in worship. And most of the time it's immature people, and you got to learn to set a line between you and them that you won't let them— when it comes to your worship, you cannot allow them to stop you from doing what you got to do in God.

Amen.

Secondly, there's another class. He says, young men, y'all stay here with the asses. Okay, I told you I didn't cuss, but I told you I didn't forget neither. Listen, y'all stay here with the asses. It's in the Bible. I'm not dyslexic.

It's in there.

That's right. An ass here is a stubborn, unresourceful animal that's designed for short trips. In other words, a donkey was only designed to take you but so far. And he says if we're gonna go higher in worship, if we're gonna create a culture of worship, we gotta leave the asses behind. Are y'all hearing this? We gotta leave the donkeys behind. Since some of y'all are so religious, you can't handle that word. It's in the Bible. And you got some asses in your life. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. That you gotta leave behind. I gotta be careful because somebody clipped this out and they said this preacher was cussing at church, but it's in the Bible. It's a stubborn, short-trip animal. And you got to take an inventory of all the folks in your life that you're trying to take, that was only designed to get you so far. Okay, and you got to decide, I'm gonna leave you right here because I gotta go higher in God. He said, me and the lad are going yonder and worship. And let me tell you what that, what that entailed. It entailed sacrifice, number one, but it also entailed provision. Because when they got there, here's what I love about God. The Bible said he did everything God told him to do. He prepared the burnt offering, put Isaac on the table, and then got ready to draw the knife back, and there was a ram in the thicket. Oh my God. And that ram began to rattle, and the Lord says, I will provide a sacrifice. Took his son out and he slayed the ram. Watch this. God always honors, again, obedience. But you got to decide, I'm gonna release this person.

Sometimes it's hard to release people you want to keep.

I know I'm preaching to somebody. Maybe this camera— some of you are holding on to stuff that God wants to take. You're holding on to asses that you need to leave behind. They're stubborn, they're short trip design, they're unresourceful. They can only do a certain thing, they can only get you to a certain point. I came to tell you that point is over, it has concluded. Stop trying to make an ass a horse. Stop trying to make purpose out of something that has no purpose to carry you to the next dimension. I wish I knew who I was preaching to, but somebody, you've been holding up your next dimension, your next level, because you've been trying to take an ass down the road with you. But God said to tell you, you need to make an ass list, a list of stubborn, unresourceful people, and every one of them, you need to leave them behind.

Cuz they're burdens. Burdens.

Watch this.

People who want to see you win, them the people you need to take.

That's right.

The people that have a revelation of who you are, that's who needs to go. Hear me real good. The day has come where dragging dead weight—

oh Jesus— is a thing of the past.

You cannot drag people that don't want to go. That's right, that's right. Watch, it's a good sign that they in this category of young men or asses, is that when they reject what you're doing Listen, rejection is direction.

Y'all ain't got to talk to me here.

When someone rejects what you're doing, that church world, they're in this ass class in the scripture, or they're immature because they can't see who you are. That's why I tell folks, reject me early so I ain't got to spend a lot of time with you. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. Trying to figure out whether you're going to embrace who I am or not. Oh, y'all ain't got to talk, because rejection is direction. I'm embracing you, and then a year down the line, well, no, no, reject me a weekend. Oh, y'all hearing this? So I know what I'm dealing with, right? And when you do it, I mean, and you know you're wrong, don't expect me to chase you. Y'all ain't talking to me here. I don't have this. I don't have the anointing of Jesse Owens to run you down in the spirit. I'm not gonna do it. If you leave, I got to go higher and worship. Because guess what?

God never removes something and not replace it with something better.

Thank you, Lord. All right, we serve. Thank you, Lord.

Jesus. Talking good. Almost done. Say, I'm going higher in worship. I'm going higher in worship. Here's the other part of that, the last part. He said, we going to come again to you. Mhm.

In other words, I got to get what I need. I'm not taking you with me, but I'm going to come back and get you when I get what I I'm gonna get what God has for me, and I'm gonna come back and get you and pull you up. Oftentimes when you soar and position yourself to receive what you need and you leave folk behind that need to stay behind, guess what?

They miss you. They realize what they lost.

And when you go back and get them, they open their arms. Oh, I'm so glad you back. Are y'all hearing this?

Sometimes you got to show folk what they miss by not being connected to you.

Listen, when folk decide they don't want to be in your life—

this is the last thing I'm gonna say for real—

stop chasing them.

The Bible says there were those that were among us that left us, but by virtue of the fact that they left us, it proved that they were never for us. That's right.

The leaving was proof they were never a part anyway. So when people decide they're leaving, let them go. Y'all hear this?

Yes, Lord.

Cuz if they think it's something better for them, then you want that for them anyway. Amen.

I mean, God, I've counseled women who been in the office, I want to divorce him, that negro crazy, I'm tired of it, he ain't doing this, he ain't doing that, he And then they go get a divorce, and then months later, they're always, I can't sleep at night because I miss you.

Ain't you the same one? And he done moved on. Are y'all hearing this? Because women grieve long. Women will hold stuff and they'd be 2 years later, still hurt. 10 years later, break up what you did 10 years ago.

Are y'all hearing me?

But men, they grieve hard but not long. That's true. It'll hurt him for about 4 days. Day 7, he going to be with Susie. You might as well accept 'Cause you left. Y'all ain't got to talk to me. I can't believe he moved on that fast. Well, that's what men do. Are y'all hearing this? Yeah, he moved on that fast. He already had a plan if you left. He already had something in his mind. Just, just you leave, you want to. I know what I'm gonna do. Y'all don't like the truth for real. But all I'm saying is worship should take precedence over any activity of humans coming in and out of your life, whether they leave or you got to let them go. Nothing should hinder your worship. Amen. You're going through a divorce, you still need to worship God. Your best friend decided they won't be your friend no more, you still need to worship God. Your best friend passed away, you still need to worship God. Are y'all hearing this? You got to decide, no matter what it looks like, the King is still worthy. And that's all I'm saying to you. Creating a culture of kingdom worship says the God I serve is worthy no matter what I'm going He's worthy to be praised with money and with no money. He's worthy to be praised if I'm sick, waiting for him to heal me. I'm still going to worship. You need to worship until you get well. You need to worship until he lifts the burden and destroys every yoke in your life.

Hallelujah. I'm done.

Y'all stand.

Y'all stand. I hope y'all got something out of this. And don't go out here, say Apostle was cussing at church. It's in the Bible.

Say it again.

Glory to God. Hallelujah. Close your eyes and lift your hands. Hallelujah. In your heart right now, I want you to humble yourself. As an inferior to a superior. Hallelujah. I ask you to close your eyes because when you close your eyes, you have a tendency to look in. And I want you to forget everything that's around you. I want you to focus totally on him. He's worthy of your worship. I want you to see him as bigger than you. See his rule, see his reign, see his royalty, his light, his splendor, his paternity. See him as the God that he is. Hallelujah. Now here's what I want you to do. I want you to begin to worship Come on, just open your mouth with no music, just you and the King. When you lift your hands, it's called yada in Hebrew, is surrender. And so, Father, as we lift our hands today, we surrender to your will, we surrender to your way, we surrender to your plan, God. We surrender to who you are, and because of who you are, we give you glory. We humble ourselves as inferiors to a superior. We worship you as our King. You're the King of Kings.

You're the Lord of Lords.

You are Adonai, El Shaddai. God, we give you the glory. You're El Elyon. We give you praise, God.

We worship and adore you. You're omniscient, you're omnipresent, you're omnipotent, God. We give you the glory. Oh, King of Glory, lift up your heads, oh ye gates. Come on, worship him out of your spirit. Come on, I want you to really worship. Humble yourself. Come on, because you breathe, it's because of him. Your heartbeat because of him. Come on, even those of you online, take a moment to worship his great name. Come on, open your mouth and worship. God, we give you the glory. God, we give you the glory. God, we give you the honor. We give you the praise. We lift you up and extol you. We supplement you. We macro photograph you. God, we worship you because we are designed to worship. Come on, there's a blueprint in you. Maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe, just maybe, that provision you've been praying for is locked up in that blueprint. Maybe that healing you've been seeking God for is locked up in that blueprint. I know you think you really been worshiping But can I tell you, there's another dimension to your worship. There's another place in him. Come on, I need you to tap in and open up your mouth. Some of y'all doing it, some of you not. But I'm telling you, those of you that are not, even those of you that are at home that are watching me, that refuse to lift your hands and open your mouth, I'm here to tell you, and you don't scare me, you're gonna stay right where you are. You'll stay sick. Sick, you'll stay broke, you'll stay stuck, you'll keep having pain. But I dare you to press past the external circumstance and open your mouth. And up— We worship you. Jesus. We worship you, Jesus. We give your name the glory. We give your name the honor. We give your name the praise. We lift you up, God. You are God, and you're God alone. You're God alone. You're God alone. You're God alone. And we cry out, God. We cry out to you, God. We cry out to you because you're worthy. We cry out to you, God, 'cause we can't live without you. Come on, let your voice testify of his goodness and his mercy. Come on, open up your mouth and give God glory and give God honor and give God praise. Come on, magnify the Lord. Oh, magnify the Lord with me. Let us exalt his name together. Come on, worshiper! Come on, worshiper! Come on, worshiper! It's a lifestyle. It's a lifestyle. It comes from the heart. Songs and melodies are a matter of gift, but worship is a matter of the heart. Come on, heart worship. Let it come out of your heart. Let it come out of your spirit. Find that place of truth. Them that worship in worship in in spirit and in truth. Come on, find that truth, find that truth, find that word scope. What does he mean to you? Open your mouth and worship. Come on, worship. How bad do you need it? How bad do you want it? Come on, open your mouth. Come on, I dare you get a little more passionate than you are. Worship is demonstrative. I dare you leave the asses behind, leave every restriction behind, leave every mature thought process concerning worship. I feel every immature thought process concerning worship, leave it behind and open up your mouth and go into God. God, oh, oh, oh, oh, God, we need you now. Come on, open your mouth.

Oh Jesus, hallelujah!

We bless your name. The Bible says out of the mouth of babes and sucklings He has ordained perfect praise, perfect worship. Come on, out of your mouth, let worship flow. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. We extol your name and we cry holy, holy, holy, holy is the Lamb of God. Holy is the Lamb slain. Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord.

My soul say yes.

Yes, we worship and adore you, God. You're God alone.

You're God alone.

You're the only wise King. You're the mighty God.

Hallelujah!

We bless your name, we bless your name. I'm telling y'all, don't you take it lightly.

This has to be a lifestyle.

It's reserved for kingdoms.

Worship should come natural to you. You shouldn't have to be pushed.

You need a revelation of God that makes it natural, that makes it easy, that gives you sweatless victory.

Hallelujah.

Father, I'm asking you, this is my prayer for your people today in this place.

Who's live and who will watch this replay.

I pray that you will give them revelation of you like never before, a revelation that makes worship natural, that they won't have to be pumped, sung to, primed, that they don't want me to—

a calisthenics coach, a workout coach to worship. But God, they will worship because of who you are. Thank you, Jesus. Yes, God, thank you, Lord.

Because of who you are, thank you, Jesus. I give you glory. Thank you, Lord. Because of who you are, I give you praise. Because of who you are, I will lift my voice and say Lord, I worship you because of who you are. Lord, I worship you because of who you are. Because of who you are, I give you glory.

Yes, Lord.

Because of who you are, I give you praise. Because of who you are, I will lift my voice and say, Lord, I worship you. Because of who You are. And Lord, I worship you because of who you are. Because of who you are, I give you glory. Because of who you are. Yes, Lord. I give you praise. Y'all sing it. Because of who you are, I will lift. Lord, I worship you because of who you are. Again, Lord, I worship you because of who you are.

Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Jireh, my provider, my provider. Jehovah Nissi.

Jehovah Nissi. Lord, we reign in victory.

Lord, you reign in victory.

Jehovah Shammah.

Jehovah Shammah.

You're the Prince of Peace.

The Prince of Peace.

And I worship you. And I worship Because of who you are. One more time, because of who you are.

Because of who you are, I give you glory.

It has to come natural. Because of who you are. Iskadar Vasyaya. Because of who you are, I give you glory. Give you praise because of who you are.

Because of who you are.

I will lift my voice and say— I will lift my voice and say, Lord, I worship you because of who you are. And Lord, I worship you because of who you are. Clap your hands, everybody, just because of who he is. Hallelujah. Say that with me. Say, Heavenly Father. In the name of Jesus— say I receive the word!

And I decree and declare I was designed, I was created to worship him. Say in the name of Jesus, I received the word and I believe that I'm created to transfer the culture of kingdom worship to the world.

Say, I believe worship is reserved for kingdoms.

Say, I believe worship is for the worshiper, not the king. Say, worship benefits me, not the king. Say, worship should come natural for me because I believe my God is the King of Kings. He is the Lord of Lords. And I declare, I have a blueprint that leads me to his royalty, to his rulership. To his reign and his resources. I receive them now in the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. And thank God. If you believe that, shout and give God praise. Come on, shout about it. Come on, y'all can shout better than that. Let your voice testify. We give you the glory for the Kingdom Culture of Worship.

Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah!

Hallelujah!

Bless us, Lord.

You can be seated. Glory to God. Hallelujah!

Hallelujah! We bless him. He's a good God.

Yes, he is.

He's a mighty God. He's good. I pray you got something out of that.

Yeah, amen.

Glory to God. Glory to God. We going to prepare our hearts to give. Glory to Jesus. Now, I thought— me and Felicia were on our way back to Mississippi on Friday. I went down for Alex's game. I had to teach at the school that morning, and we came back late Friday, um, early Saturday morning. Yeah, glory to God. But the Lord was dealing with me in the car. And those of you that are watching online, those that are here, those that are not here, make sure they are reminded of what was about to happen. Oh, put the ways to give up, Mario. Glory to God. I was fighting with the Lord about this because I don't like to ask y'all for nothing, for real. Um, I really don't. But giving is the way you get blessed, right? And specifically when you bless the man of God. So every now and then, Lord tell me to have have y'all be a blessing to me. I don't get a salary, I don't get nothing, right? So, and I saw something when I was in the car that said this was clergy appreciation month, and I said, oh, hey, what about that? And the Lord just started— well, you need to tell them to bless you. So whatever we give today, that's why I don't have to steal money. I'm telling you what I do. Everything that comes in today is coming to be a blessing to my household. Amen.

Amen.

So I want you to pray about what you're gonna give. Put value on this ministry. The Bible said if we communicate to you spiritual things, you should communicate to us natural things. Amen. Y'all believe that?

Amen.

That's something I'm believing God for. Um, And this blessing today is going to help me be able to do that. So I want you to make a sacrifice.

Somebody say sacrifice.

Hallelujah. This is still worship.

Amen.

Because giving is an act of worship. Amen.

Amen.

Although this offering is going to go to me, glory to God, it's still an act of worship. Now look, we, we've raised so money before for so many things. Amen. And, uh, you guys give so well. This is why I would like to ask y'all for that, because I, I hate to look at the offering later and it's $5. So get a sacrifice, all right, and give to the Lord. All right, are y'all hearing me? Amen. So we want you to be a blessing. Glory to God. You can give it to the church, just put in the notations it's for Apostle, and we'll make make sure it gets transferred to me. Glory to God. Again, you communicate spiritual things, you should communicate your natural things. Y'all believe about it? Amen. Amen. That's the word. Glory to God. I'm certainly not living off the money of this church, but it's always good to be a blessing. You're blessed to be a blessing. Glory to God. We give him praise. We give him glory, we give him honor. Thank you, Father. I thank you for every gift and every giver now, even as we pray. Your word says as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. And Father, even those online that are giving, I decree and declare that these seeds sown will come back a thousand times more than they are sown today. I thank you, God, that they will enhance the life of your people. They won't be a deficit As they release it in faith, it will multiply 1,000 times more. As I believe you have made myself and the ministry you've given me good ground, so as they sow this morning, I declare it's coming back to them 1,000 times more than they give it. I decree it for them, I expect it for them in Jesus' name, as they do it as an act of worship. Amen and amen. Give God praise. Amen.

Amen.

Amen. Glory to God. Amen.

Amen.

Amen. God is good. Wonderful Jesus. If you got physical money, you can bring it. I'm going to bring the bucket. Just a few announcements also while you're giving. I feel Jesus, man. Amen.

Amen. Amen.

Hallelujah.

Amen.

Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. God have mercy. Glory to God. Thank you so much. Thank you. Glory to God. Thank you, sir. Glory to God. You gave that much money, Maria? Praise God! That, that $20 was coming out your pocket slowly. He released it. Glory to God!

Amen!

Praise God! God is good. Has everybody given? So Father, bless every gift, every giver. Give it back to them a thousand times more, even as we've already declared, in Jesus' name. Somebody shout, I receive it!

I receive it!

Say, my finances, my are increasing more and more every day because of my being and my position inside of the exchange system in the kingdom. I'm a faithful tither. I'm a faithful giver. And because of this, my cup runs over. My barns are filled with plenty, and the devourer is rebuked for my sake. Said, this week, this week, I expect bills paid, bonuses increases, unexpected checks. In the name of Jesus, I declare it to be so. I thank you for contracts and open doors because I am a giver.

In Jesus' name.

If you believe that, give God some praise.

Hallelujah. Glory to God. Come here, let me pray for you. Yeah, I'm looking right at you.

Come here.

Glory to God. Let me pray for you real quick. Glory to God. Father, I thank you And I give you praise. Y'all point your hand this way. Pastor, you can play softly. I guess your hands went on retirement for a minute. I give you praise and glory. I give you honor, Lord. Thank you for this daughter, from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. May your blood cover, may your blood keep deeper. Overshadow her with your love. We rebuke every demonic force that talks to her mind, that makes her feel unworthy, that tries to decrease her value and to make her feel like her life is not important. Father, I thank you that even as I'm praying, that she will feel your love. Let the love of God flow through her now, from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. Yes, God, touch now. God, touch now. And God, build her up even as I'm praying right now.

Build her seen. Build her image of herself, build her confidence. Let her know that you have caused her to be a wonderful specimen, and she has gifts, she has intent, she has purpose, she has an assignment. Remind her how special she is. Remind her that she is a masterpiece.

Yes, yes, Lord.

Get the glory out of her life.

In spite of all that has happened these 14, 15 years, out of all that has happened, God, I decree and declare you will get the glory out of this life. I thank you that she'll accomplish great things in the earth. We rebuke death, we rebuke assignments of death, and we declare victory.

Victory!

In the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you for your love, God. Thank you for your love. Thank you for your love. He loves you. He loves you, and he'll never leave you nor forsake you. And when the enemy talks to your mind, I want you to remember he loves you and just open your mouth and say it.

Say, he loves me, right in that moment when when the enemy battles your mind, just say, he loves me, I'm special, I'm authentic, I have purpose. When he starts talking to you about who you're not, remind him of who you are. You're the head and not the tail. You're a lender and not a borrower. You're above and not beneath. You're intelligent, you're beautiful, you're his daughter. Yes, remind him of who you are.

You're God's special creation. He has favored you. He has prepared great things for you. And your best days are ahead. Father, we thank you and we receive the best for her in Jesus' mighty name. Hallelujah. Come on, I need you that can throw your arms around and just love on her. Come on, some—

I want some of you to come and just love on her. Yeah, the love of God is flowing through her right now.

Just love on her. Go tell He loves you, he loves you, he loves you.

He loves you with all that he is.

We're going to start flooding as early as tonight all of social media. We're running ads that's starting tonight, uh, for this meeting. Y'all help me. When you see the videos, when you see the flyer, share it.

Share.

I saw Prophet Shannon shared it. Please guys, share spread, you know, because people need to be a part of this. People are bound, you know. There's a lot of talk about mental health. A lot of mental health issues are demonic issues.

Amen.

That can be solved with simple deliverance. So, so a lot of people that's battling mentally, they need to be in these meetings. There's going to be a lot of deliverance in these meetings starting on that Thursday night. So somebody said, I got I take my child trick-or-treating on Friday. Listen, that's the devil. You definitely don't need to take them to trick-or-treat. Glory to God.

We're gonna deal with that Friday night, why you don't need to do that. And please don't—

if you hear, you won't open your door to give folk candy. Don't participate in that. Amen. You got churches, we having a Hallelujah Night because we gotta do— you, you are subscribing to the holiday.

That's all you're doing, just change the name. You subscribe to the other because you had it on that day.

So we're not doing that.

You want to do something for children, let's do it another day.

Are y'all hearing this?

Glory to God.

So the children won't feel left out?

No, we need to teach them what's right.

Amen.

You teach them the truth. Witches and goblins and warlocks and all of that crap, spells, that's of the devil. And they need to know the truth, and they need to know why it's the truth. So we don't even touch that on Friday night so people understand why they don't need to be involved in that holiday. Glory to God. There's a lot of historic things connected to that, that when you get involved with it, open doors. You know, letting your child dress up, there's a whole spirit connected to it. Yeah, I ain't gonna get into it now, but it is. I'm telling you right now. Yeah. And guess what? You thought the biggest commercial holiday day was Christmas. The biggest commercial holiday is demonic, is Halloween, because they buy more costumes, have more parties, sell more candy than they do during Christmas time. Okay, I'm already getting into that. I'm not— well, listen, you need to be in the meeting. That's all I was trying to say. Listen, also, I'm gonna throw this out here, um, in the month, the end of November No, December 4th through the 7th, we're having a meeting called The Apostles Are Coming.

As soon as this is over, I'm gonna start promoting this meeting.

Apostle Cornelius will be back, my friend Apostle Kirby from Las Vegas will be here, Apostle Tony Hill will be back, and myself.

We got—

we believe that people need to be thrust into their identity. This is an apostolic thrust into an identity of who you are and who God is. So we're bringing apostles in that we believe have an authentic voice to get that done. So you want to make sure you make plans for the 4th through the 7th to be in that meeting.
