That deliberately and on purpose we will defeat the spirit of Jezebel on all hands. And we give you glory for that, Lord. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. Clap your hands again and bless the Lord. Oh boy, I love you, I love you. Y'all hear me sing just a little bit? I love you, Lord, today because you cared for me. Come on, sing to Jesus in such a special way. Ah yeah, God, come on.

We love you, Jesus. We don't take it for granted. Our love for you is perfected and it is real. We love you, Jesus. I love you, God. Yes, Lord. All right, we're gonna try this. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God is good. Wonderful Jesus, mighty God. We're going to continue our teaching we started on Sunday on defeating Jezebel. Say this with me, say, Jezebel must be must be defeated. And one of the things we understood about this was on Sunday, and I'm just going to review a little bit, is that in order to defeat Jezebel, glory to God, she literally has to die. You just can't knock this spirit down. You can't sprinkle some oil on it. You got to kill it. And one of the things we learned, and we'll start here, is that the realities of the spirit realm are more real than the realities of the natural realm. And I think the church has to come to a place where we just accept that. The church is in many ways stuck because we lean more to the iniquitous realities that we're shaping in as a way of life. Are y'all hearing me? A lot of times we accept things that the Bible tells us we shouldn't accept because we've been shaping in iniquity. Iniquity is lawlessness, is without kingdom parameters, kingdom law. So we're shaping in a worldly system that tells us everybody's going to get old and get cancer, or get old and get a terminal disease. And so we buy in. Are y'all hearing this? People get sick and we buy in. Well, you know, well, God may be using that to get their attention. God doesn't need to use sickness. He doesn't have to use cancer to get your attention. He don't have to use heart issues and, and, and problems in your family to get your attention. Are y'all hearing this? Yes, sir. God has teachers who can teach you things without taking you through terrible storms. Amen. We just have to be open to learn it. So a lot of times when we're not open to learn it, life happens. And we begin to build according to iniquity. And we can't do that because iniquity is of the natural realm. We're born into the natural realm in sin. So when we came out our mother's womb kicking and screaming, crying, that baby is not crying— hear me— because, you know, it's just in shock, or it's a baby and it don't know what to do. It's literally crying because it just left heaven. It entered in through a portal into a new world, and the first thing this baby does not recognize is that God is not there. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, y'all don't believe it. Jeremiah 1:5: Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. So every child born has relationship with God before they get here. So when they come through the womb and they start yelling and screaming, it's culture shock because we're born— they ain't committed a sin, but they're born missing the mark, coming short of God's glory. And then you have this parent who is oblivious to spiritual things start to raise this child in an iniquitous system. And some of the things we learned from our parents, you know, they're good but don't necessarily mean it's God. My daddy taught me a lot of good things. My mama taught me a lot of good things, but a lot of the stuff they taught me wasn't necessarily God. I'll never forget— and y'all, I guess sometimes I'm too transparent with y'all, but You know, that's just me. I don't know how to be no other way. But I'll never forget when I was married to Michael Jr.'s mom and she, she, we were young. I mean, she was like 18. She was the legal age of marriage, I think 18 at the time. You get married in Georgia at 18. I was 3 years older than her. First of all, neither one of us had no business getting married. We shouldn't have been married, period. I was preaching and the mothers were telling me, you need wife. So I found a woman that could sing. Oh, y'all hearing this? I said, because I'm gonna let her sing and I'm gonna preach, but— and we're gonna get married so that we don't give in to the flesh. A couple of years into that, she realizes this ain't where I want to be. Because she didn't have the grace. This late, I mean, me and her are tight. We're good people. I mean, now, but at the end of the day, she didn't want to be married to a preacher. And today she ain't married again because she was like, I mean, marriage just ain't for me. And I realized that back then. And she said, I knew your belief system— watch this— And I knew you wasn't gonna get a divorce if I came and asked you for one. So she cheated on me. Are y'all hearing this? And see, y'all look like you're looking at me like, now you— no, she cheated. It wasn't me, it wasn't me that time, all right? It wasn't me that time. And, and, and I was hurt, man, because I was sold out to my marriage. I wanted my marriage to work, and she just wanted out. She knew that would be the way to get out, but me still didn't want to let her out. But the religious thinking had me believing that I can't divorce her, I can't let this happen. Because God's gonna hold this against me because divorce is wrong. Now I'm— I got reason for divorce staring me in the face. One, she don't believe in the marriage no more. If the unbeliever depart, let them depart. Two, if she commit adultery, you got a right to be out. I fought, man, and, um Fought so hard. Let me make this short. We ended up staying together 3 more years, separated in that 3rd year. While we were separated, she— if we weren't even living in the same house, she got pregnant with Michael Jr., which is a sign to me that Michael was supposed to be born in that gene pool. And he came forth. We stayed together a little while after that, and then she still wanted out because she didn't have the grace. Are y'all hearing this? To be married to me. And obviously I didn't have the grace to be married to her. So here then, what religion will do— I'm using this for this example— it'll cause you to trust in systems in the church That ain't necessarily God's way. Are y'all hearing me? God aligns himself with the word of God, not man's thinking, man's ideas. Religion is man's ideas of what God ought to be doing. So they try to figure out ways God should be doing something when in reality the spirit realm should be superimposing itself on us at all times. We should walk in the spirit that we don't fulfill the lust of the flesh. Pastor Jeffrey, can you cut the air on for me? Yeah, because I, I don't want to do all this work to get to heaven and have to go through hell trying to do it. So, so y'all understand me, there are things in the spirit realm that should be normal. Miracles should be normal. We shouldn't be surprised when someone gets a miracle. Are y'all hearing this? We shouldn't be surprised when someone dead gets up after prayer. Those things are normal in the Kingdom. So this war that's going on is real. We talked about that Sunday. It's being fought on 3 battlegrounds. One, the battleground of the church. I'm not going to teach these again, but the church is divided. And I'm not talking about a worship facility or an assembly of people. I'm talking about individuals. The church is the ecclesia, the called-out ones. You and I are the church, and most people in the body of Christ are divided. We, uh, today We did just show you an example of this, man. We did a prayer call for National Prayer. I believe overall it was a great success. Apostle, thank you for participating. Yeah, glory to God. And for the most part, it was great, but there's a few people who just refused to follow instructions. Are y'all hearing me? I know the clear instructions were given. This is a a prayer call. Every apostle needs to get on and pray, not prophesy, not teach. Pray. But some people just couldn't resist it, and we had several that just got on, took a text. I wanted to unmute myself so bad so many times to say, this is not what we're here for. We need you to pray. This— we're here to pray. So a lot of times we can be divided, and I'm going to talk about this in a moment. And this division is the idleness that causes Jezebel to enter in. Okay, the spirit of Jezebel comes in because we can't get on the same page. Everybody's competing for position, title, rank, attention. Yeah, are y'all hearing this? And that's not what this is about. Guess what? Jesus loves all of us equally, irregardless to rank, title, position, perceived anointing. Jesus loves us equally. It didn't say, for God so loved the apostles that he gave his only begotten Son. For God so loved— why did he even say the church? He loved the world. Yeah, because all of us was in the world before we became the church. All right, so the battleground of the church in the battleground of the mind, that, that's so real because many battles are being fought by people in their head. And we call these on Sunday snake eggs in the head. A lot of times that, and those eggs are consistently hatching. Creating new evil systems that go against the kingdom. Watch this, you ain't even got to be living in sin. You could have shut down sex, drugs, alcohol, lying, all of that, but you still got an evil mindset that goes against kingdom progress. You still in sin. You still are going against God's way. So this battle is constantly falling. This is where the enemy comes in. We're going to deal with this a little tonight. Uh, 3, the battleground of the heavens. There's a spirit battle going on between the spirit of Elijah and the spirit of Jezebel in the heavenlies. Elijah is the prophetic voice of God. Jezebel hates prophets, so she's warring daily trying to find an entry point to silence the prophet. Are y'all hearing me? And then we talked about how Jezebel is a real spirit, male or female. I'll say it again, Jezebel is— can be a man or a woman. The spirit of Jezebel can rest on a male. It's not just, glory to God, a woman with red fingernails and a red dress and pants. That ain't even what it has nothing to do with. That Jezebel is manipulation, control, perversion. Are y'all hearing this? It's, it is the deliberate act to overthrow God's reign. This spirit does not want God to rule. Are y'all here? Yes, sir. So tonight I want to— let's read our foundation scripture for this, uh, which is Revelation 2:20. He says, but I have this against you. And I kind of shared on Sunday that you don't want God to be against you in any way. Say that with me. Say, I don't need God against me. I don't know about you, but I need the Lord. Hallelujah. So whatever I need to do to keep him from being against me— well, God will never be against you. He's a gracious God. He loves you. No, this is quite the contrary. This Bible says here that God can have something against you. And one of the things that can cause God to have something against you is that you tolerate Jezebel. Now watch this. The church can discern the spirit. We can see it in operation, but we still tolerate it. And, and, you know, I know I said some stuff Sunday that made some folk uncomfortable, but I just refuse to tolerate this spirit. And somebody needs to confront these demons, okay? Because they're gonna keep doing what they're doing and think they're okay. Are y'all hearing this? We tolerate Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess. A whole lot of that going on. Everybody wants to— can't see in the next week, but you're a prophetess. Just to slap some on your name. And then every time you prophesy, I'm listening to you, it's like it's a guessing game. Are y'all hearing this? If you're a prophet, your ear stays to the mouth of God. A real prophet has a sensitivity in the realm of the spirit. Your body becomes like an antenna and you're sensitive at all times. And God can talk to you about any given thing at any given time when you're a prophet. You ain't got to conjure up a word. You ain't got to look on Facebook. You ain't got to have a conversation to get a word. After prophets that want to prophesy in the parking lot, in the bathroom, pull you up in the stall. And got a word. I'm not going to tell my story about that again, but I'm just telling you, I've, I've had the experience. The reality is that's out of order. Okay, watch this. She teaches— we got teachers who are teaching erroneous. That's the spirit of Jezebel. They're teaching in error, and they're leading the people who want to truly serve God astray. And then watch this, they go astray and they too are committing acts of immorality and they eat things sacrificed to idols. In other words, they're eating at the wrong tables. They're worshiping popularity, they're worshiping— glory to the name of God— likes and clicks. They're worshiping what they see on the television, Hollywood, and athletes, when our worship should go to God and God alone. Are we here? Okay, I'm gonna get through this tonight. Just stay with me, and I'm not gonna be long as I sound. Just stay with me, okay? So let's get into this. We, we, we talked about the gods of Jezebel. I talked to you about Baal. I talked to you about Astaroth. And so now tonight I want to get into something, but before I do, I want to show you how Jezebel enters into the church. Because you may say, how can this spirit get in and be ruling? I just told y'all Sunday, it's a whole church that's got a gay pastor and he got a first gentleman in this city. How does that happen? How does it happen? How does it happen? It happens because We don't understand authority for assignment. Most of the time when you get an assignment from God— and I said most of the time because sometimes it doesn't happen immediately— but he can give you an assignment, but you better believe before you start doing it the authority to do it is going to come behind it. You ain't assigned just because you say you are, okay? And when we do this and start operating this way, many times we fail at undertaking— watch this— something God could have really said. Because we don't wait on the authority. Somebody say authority to do— y'all, are y'all here tonight? Say it again. Say authority to really undertake this, because sometimes we'll have a desire and we'll move on desire rather than authorization. You have to dismiss what you desire to do when you're walking with God. There's a whole lot of stuff God tell me to do. I'm just gonna be honest with you, I don't want to do it. And he— he— I know, you know, me and God's relationship, I believe he got a sense of humor with me. He'll tell me stuff he know I don't want to do, but he's doing it to require my obedience and to teach me lessons about having full authority and authorization in the area. Watch this, knowing how to do it is not authorization. All right, just because you've been trained to do it doesn't mean you authorized. Or just because you've been in the church a long time don't mean you authorized. The only person that can authorize you to do something assigned in the kingdom is the King himself. Okay, because some people think they got time in. Are y'all hearing this? I've been in the church a long time. I've had some— man, I've been in the way a long time now, young man. That's your whole problem. You are in the way. Yeah, you've been in the way, in the way of progress. Listen, So how does God get authority? Let's look at this. Go to the next slide. I want to put it up there for him. Well, let's, let's read that first. Yeah, Proverbs 16:27. That's good. Let's do that. Idle hands are the devil's workshop. So I know doesn't mean you're just not doing anything. This word in the Greek also means You could— you're doing the wrong thing, or the right thing for the wrong reason, which means the motive is bad. So you're busy doing busy work, church work. Are y'all hearing this? Because some people think, because I work in the church, I clean the bathrooms, I clean the floor, I'm My hands ain't idle. But if that ain't what you called to do— are y'all hearing this? It's idle hands. Again, let's go back to Tolerating the Prophetess. If you're not a prophetess and you're trying to prophesy and calling yourself a prophetess, your hands are— your work is idle. And this is how the devil gets in there, because it's not what God authorized. Now you're working for the devil and it's his workshop. Watch this. Idle lips are the devil's mouthpiece. So this ain't you just talking. But this is— or not talking— this is you saying the wrong stuff. I'm telling you, as people of God, we should desire— hear me— osh katatabanze, to say what God says. Say that with me. Say, it's my desire to say what God says. It's easy to just start talking about something, and watch this, if you ain't careful, you'll be done said it's God and it ain't him. Because let me tell you something, God himself is not speaking as much as some people say he is, okay? I'm gonna— because some of the stuff that he has said How about let's do that, right? Let's obey that, because half of the stuff people saying, God said, God said— we got to be careful, or because you can be found guilty of being the devil's mouthpiece. Again, right thing, wrong reason, saying things you're not authorized to say. How about you hear another prophet, real prophet, say something and then you just go and repeat what they said? Oh boy, I've seen it, you know, and I've corrected people in private, but I've seen them do this in service, you know, because— and this is people that have been around me years, a long time. I, you You know, maybe they thought I forgot, but they'll be giving somebody a word and it'd be exactly a word that I gave somebody 25, 30 years ago. And they've learned how to theatrics, the theatrics of the prophetic and the drama of the prophetic. Wow. Wow. Are y'all hearing this? Oh, they'll never do it again 'cause I corrected it. I said, first of all, that person wasn't dealing with that, and that word was off. And I could do it because my son— are y'all hearing this? And that's something you heard me say. Are y'all hearing this? How about if you pray, God will give you a word for real? You ain't got to be the devil's mouthpiece because what you're saying is idle. That word was for somebody else 25 years ago, and you saying the exact same thing to this person now. That ain't for them. And what you're doing now is manipulating, which is what Jezebel does, because they feel like you heard from God. Because you said, 'Thus saith the Lord.' Some people think because they put that in front of what they say that they're authorized. Again, just because we say that don't mean God said it. That's why you got to have a listening ear. Everybody that says God says, some of them lying. You definitely got to be careful these days. 'Cause you got internet prophets, Facebook prophets, Instagram prophets. Man, I saw a guy one night. I was just scrolling. I was laying in bed. I couldn't sleep 'cause I hardly ever scroll. So I'm scrolling and this guy, this prophet, he's online live. I didn't even know people be online live doing this kind of stuff. So people tapping into his live, he prophesying to people, telling them to write something in the comments, putting his Cash App up. He said, now if you sow this $100, I'm gonna tell you the rest of it. Bam, they would hit his Cash App. He would ball with it. Checking his phone right there. Okay, I got it. And then give him the word. Wow, that was so manipulating. But I sat there about 30 minutes and watched that man raise about $7,000 because he would just prophesy just like this. And all he was doing probably was seeing these people's names, going to their Facebook page, because he was so accurate and prophesying about somebody just died, you just went to a funeral. Well, And then, you know, I'm a smart guy, I think. So I'm like, okay, God, I know what you're showing me, so let me go and look too. So I'm looking at the person he prophesied, and soon as I went to the page, her grandmama died, and it's a flyer of the death. And so he done went and saw that, and this person is not even thinking. They're manipulating me. They're lying to me. Are y'all hearing this? See, we got to be careful that we're not the devil's mouthpiece. Watch this. Watch people that talk too much. I'm gonna get where I need to be, but I just want you to be clear. Somebody that can't never be quiet— let me tell you something, you, you need— when I walk in rooms I listen to see what everybody else know. I was on a meeting yesterday, and, uh, by the contract I got, thanks be to God, and, um, I'm listening to see what everybody else knows because they have another film company that's working with this project as well. So I'm listening, listen, listen, but there was just one person just incessantly I said, this person can't do nothing they saying they could do. And the Lord gave me a question to ask them. I already knew the answer, very rhetorical, but just to prove that this person did not know what they was talking about and it needed to be made known to the group, do not trust this person with this because they are not going to do it right. I proposed a very simple question that if he could do all he was saying he could do, he should have been able to answer it. He was stumbling, then I heard clicking. I said, well, he typing trying to find it now. Are y'all hearing this? So you got to watch because this is the devil's workshop, and you talk too much, it'll end up making you lie. Yeah, okay, I'm gonna move. I'm gonna— because yeah, yeah, that's too— that might be too much. Okay, so say, I need authority for the assignment that God gives. Now go to the next slide, Mario. Let's show them this. So here's how you get authority for the assignment. Number one, it starts with the word of the Lord. Say the word of the Lord. And I'm not talking about some prophet pulling you out, prophesying to you about the assignment. There are a lot of people who have missed God because another human Oh, come on now. That's why we got some of them running right here now talking about they are prophets, because somebody, some other human done said to them, you're a prophetess, and they ain't heard that from God. Now remember, God says, I'm against you if you tolerate Jezebel who calls herself a prophetess. So you got people who are saying they're things that they're not. Oh my God, it don't matter how big it is or small it is. You got some little churches with folk that don't need to be pastoring. You got some big churches that some of them preachers need to sit all the way down. Are y'all hearing this? Because at the end of the day, there needs to be a word from the Lord, not from the people. Okay. If you had to vote me in and I applied for the position of pastor of Rhoda Church, y'all probably would have voted me out by now. Y'all hearing this? Because I have to say yes, because of how bold I am. Well, thanks be to God you didn't hire me and you can't fire me. Are y'all hearing this? God called me. There's a preceding word from the Lord. So, so what shows you have authority to do what you're doing is that God has spoke about this thing. Again, Jeremiah 1:5, before I formed you in the belly, I knew you, I ordained you, I sanctified you. So God already put a word over every life in this room. So you gotta make sure you got a word from— say a word from the Lord. God's word is his preapproval. You ever got something in the mail say you're preapproved? Some folk don't need that. But when you get those kind of things, but you know, I've gotten things that say you're preapproved for this much for a car and this much for a house loan and all of this stuff. But, but guess what? The times I have used those things, you walk into the dealership different. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. If you pre-approved, you, you know what you can get. You know how— what you can drive out with. The bank done already told you, this is what we gonna give you, go shopping. Your confidence is different, okay? Because there's a time in my life when I was trying to buy a car I'd be praying the whole time I'm walking through the dealership, filling out an application. No, my credit score cannot get a loan. Are y'all hearing this? And I'm saying, God, please let them— I need a car. At the end of the day, it— you feel better when you know you're pre-approved. That's— it's just another level of confidence. So secondly, when the word of the Lord comes over your life, God pre-approves you to do what you're assigned to do. Which means nobody can tell you otherwise. Oh God. So if God pre-approved, that means he's got to have a conversation with you at some point about what he pre-approved you to do. It shouldn't be a surprise to you when a pastor or an apostle or another prophet says you're something. Your relationship with God needs to be tight enough that he can find you just like that mail found you and told you you're pre-approved. I think a lot of time we do get the mail. I think the pre-approval that we get though, sometimes we don't want that. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, because it ain't what we thought. Jesus. But, but you have to get to a point where you are right, because otherwise you'll start doing stuff that's idle and you'll be in the wrong assignment. Thirdly, authority for the assignment comes from God's purpose. I'm not going to teach on purpose tonight, though I could, but purpose is the original intent for the creation of a thing. It's why you are here. So you really won't know the authority and the assignment until you understand clearly what your purpose on earth is. You're supposed to be here. You're uniquely you. God, matter of fact, your heart is still beating because you got purpose. The reason stuff that should have killed you couldn't kill you is because you still have purpose in your life. I know there's some stuff that should have took me out. Are y'all hearing this? With all the traveling I've done in ministry, I believe there are people who've tried to poison me. Because when I first started traveling this year, man, God, Jesus, I celebrate 57 years of life, 37 years of full-time ministry. I know in 37 years of road ministry, somebody done tried to do something to me. Me. Because back then when I first started, one, we used to stay at the saint's house because the ministry didn't have enough money to get you a hotel. So we stay at somebody's house. All kind of stuff done happened, but God has protected me. Are y'all hearing this? Because the Bible said you drink any deadly thing and it will not harm you. I'm telling you, I believe the devil because I was young and didn't have a lot of sense. I would just sit at anybody's table and start eating because I was hungry. But thank God, I know he's preserved me. He's kept me out of stuff that could have ruined my life. I mean, I've been staying— I'm— listen, imagine this, staying at the mother house. This is the mother. I mean, I'm a 25-year-old prophet traveling the country. This mother's 65, 70. I'm thinking I'm safe to sleep. I shouldn't be scared in the mother house and wake up and look up and I see the mother, 65, standing over me with nothing on. Okay, I'm just telling you now. I said, the Lord— the devil is a liar, ma'am. You got to get out of here. This is your house, but get out of here. I immediately picked up the phone, called the pastor. I said, look, you need to come get me. I just woke up to a nightmare. Jesus. Yeah, you supposed to have them when you sleep, right? I'm okay. Let me move. You got authority for the assignment. We got ability to come in. Y'all laughing, but it wasn't funny back then. Like, ma'am, that, that's not happening. You— I'm sorry. No, Jesus. No. Good God from Zion. Okay, anyway, it was dark in the room. I'm doing this, make it get darker. Jesus. You know how you clap on? Jesus, let it get darker in here. I don't want to Okay, okay, y'all, okay, I'm gonna move. Number 4. All right, y'all, look, we got to get out of here tonight. Number 4: You know you got authority for the assignment when you have the ability to communicate the assignment. If you've been assigned to do something You ought to be able to articulate what the assignment is. If somebody talks to you and asks you about your assignment, you shouldn't be scratching your head. That's— that means you don't have full authority to operate in it yet because you can't even articulate what the assignment is. Fifth, which may seem the same, is that a description of the assignment A description of the assignment is simply this: it means that now you can give specific applications, places, people, provisions that relate to the assignment. You're able to really have a discussion about how you're going to carry the assignment out. Are y'all hearing this? Number 6 is the anointing. God knows you need the anointing to defeat the devil. Hallelujah! The anointing is the Holy Spirit, not just in you but upon you. It's him superimposed upon your physical flesh. Matter of fact, let me read this real quick. I don't have it up there, Mario, but 1 Samuel 16:13. The Bible says, so as David stood there among his brethrens Samuel took the flask of oil he had brought and anointed David with the oil, and the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon David from that day on. So when you're anointed, power comes behind it. The anointing gives you power to complete your assignment. Say that with me. Say, I have power because of the anointing. To remove burdens, to destroy yokes, to complete my assignment. Watch this, which means if you're really assigned to do something, it came from God. You shouldn't be struggling to do it. See, we have— again, we bought into the iniquity we were shaped in. We think that we have to accept a struggle as a— watch this— as a prerequisite to the anointing, and that's not the case. God anoint this young man, and he— and if he never goes through anything, God anoint him and use him, and he can operate in power. Are y'all hearing this? Because the anointing comes from God. You don't have to survive some trauma and because you come out the trauma, you anointed. I'm not saying it can't happen that way, but that's not ideally how God anoints. We just read it. David got anointed through the prophet laying hands on him and anointing him with oil. There was no trials, no tribulations. Are y'all hearing this? Some people think they're anointed because of what they went through. Oh boy. Not saying trials don't produce the anointing, they can, but when that has to happen, that means there's a breakdown in your attention span and your relationship with God along the way. So I said, because you won't pray through to the anointing, I'm gonna take you through some things to anoint you. Or you won't listen to teaching regarding the anointing, or you're not exposed to the teaching. And God says, well, you got to get anointed, so I'm going to take you through. Because nobody teaches you how to have a relationship with God where he anoints you in that relationship. Are y'all with me? The anointing is a result of relationship. And the more I walk with God, the more I understand this. I'll never forget, I was in a meeting one time in San Diego, California, and I got through preaching and I was going out the side door to the office, and a young guy came up to me. He said, hey preacher, man, I'm just so amazed at your ministry, how you pray for people, how you prophesy. People get healed and how you preach. He said, I want what you got. He said, can you lay hands on me and give me what you got? I told him, lift your hands. I laid my hands on him. I said, Lord, let him go through divorce. And I started naming all the hell I had been through. He stepped back and said, I don't want that. I said, well, the other alternative, you need to spend some time on your face and build your relationship with God. God had to take me that way. You don't have to go that way. God will anoint you out of the relationship. Watch this, if I tip that bottle all over there right now, and just start pouring it on people, you're gonna feel that oil on you because I'm pouring it on you, right? Well, if you spend enough time with God, eventually he's gonna pour himself out on you and you're gonna feel him on you and in you and operating through your son. Last thing, commissioning is key to authority. Are y'all with me? Okay, this is being set into the assignment by someone in authority. This is important for authority, for assignment in the kingdom. You can't be a renegade, though some want to. You got to submit to somebody. Can I tell you this? You got to dance to somebody's music. There ought to be somebody that says you are who you are other than you. In the mouth, the mouth of two or three, let every word be established. So if you're the only one saying you're a prophetess, or if you just got one other person that said it, you still ain't got enough. Yeah, are y'all hearing this? Somebody else needs to see that and confirm that, because there's no secrets with God. That's why he has prophets in place to hear and unravel secrets, and apostles have the keys to mysteries. So it can be established if people wanted it. Be. But we got too many renegades, man. All right, so y'all got that? Yes, sir. Okay, go to Ecclesiastes 4:12. I'm almost done. Somebody say, 'Apostle, you just saying that.' I am, for real. I want to get y'all out of here. Hallelujah. So we talked about the gods of Jezebel on Sunday. So tonight I'm gonna just give you these last few things on the network. Somebody say, 'The network.' of Jezebel. Now the Bible says here, and if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him, and a threefold cord is not easily broken. We took this scripture and made it a marriage scripture. Okay, I've even done it in weddings, had the cord up there. This is you, this is the husband, and this is Jesus. And we wrapped that up and said, look, it's hard to break that threefold cord. And it's used for that too. But on the flip side, this works always. This principle works even on the dark side. That's why demons and the kingdom of darkness can work to divide us in here. But Satan will ensure that the kingdom of darkness is unified at all times. He even said it, a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. That was about the enemy. That wasn't necessary. It's true to us, but that was— he was speaking of Satan's kingdom. His kingdom is organized. And if we're gonna be the people of God, we got to be organized. But Jezebel operates with a threefold cord. She had— this spirit has a network, and this is how we identify it. All right, so the teamwork— she got a team, man. The team is Jezebel, Athaliah, and Delilah. So Jezebel, first of all, again, is an evil queen. Who murders prophets. She hates prophets. Her husband is weak. He's afraid of her. And because Ahab, who is her husband, won't stand up, Jezebel won't shut up. She keeps going because her husband can't control her. Are y'all hearing this? She's a thief that steals— watch this— purpose, that steals dreams, that perverts assignment. Jezebel is not just, again, a prostitute. This spirit will make you operate in something that you're not long enough that you believe you are it. Oh God, there are a lot of people that are victims of this. She's perverted. I told y'all Sunday, perversion, perversion. She creates different versions of the authentic. She— and she dilutes truth to do it, okay? She's a manipulator, just like that guy was telling you on that live that was taking them folk money and prophesying. She was— he was manipulating them out of their money. If you get a letter telling somebody— telling you to send them 365 dollars for a word, that is not of God. They're trying to maximize the market like psychics. Remember them 1-900 numbers? Folks just wanted a word from another world. And because the prophets were not prophesying at that time, that became a billion-dollar industry. Miss Cleo and them. Are y'all hearing this? But we have to freely give because we freely receive. We can't market prophecy or, or ink pen that we say God blessed. Are y'all hearing this? Oh, y'all don't remember that one. Okay, okay, I'm not calling names tonight. I called enough Sunday. But at the end of the day We gotta stop lying on God. It's the spirit of Jezebel. Watch it. Because she operates in illegitimate authority, this spirit believes she can take what she wants. Go to 1 Kings 21 real quick. I won't even go— I got just verse 1 up there, but I'm gonna go over here and look at this so you you can see it, because this, this spirit is a trip. And again, it hates prophets and apostles. It hates royalty. And guess what? You're royalty. Say, I'm royalty. And because of that, said, Jezebel hates me. Yeah, 21. I'm gonna get out of here, man. It says, and it came to pass. Say it came to pass. That means this happened. Whenever you read that, it came to pass in the Bible, it suggests history. This took place. This is not revelation. This is a historical documented writing. It came to pass after these things that Naboth— say Naboth. Now, now, Naboth, this is interesting. His name means fruit. His name means one that bears much fruit. The key to dominion, to first be what? Fruitful. So we already know Jezebel don't like us. Because we're called to bring forth fruit, and she wants the fruit for herself. The spirit wants to keep making people believe that they cannot dominate. But Naboth had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, hart by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, give me the vineyard that I might have it for a garden of herbs Because it's near unto my house, and I will give thee for a better vineyard than it. Or if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of money. And Naboth said to Ahab, the Lord forbid it that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to you. Now the king is coming to this guy and saying, look, I want your vineyard because it's close to my house. And I need to be able to get herbs and everything I need at the convenience of your vineyard. So Ahab believes because he's the king, Jezreel is going to— I mean, Naboth is going to— the vineyard is in Jezreel, he's just going to give it up. He says, no, my daddy gave this to me. Here's the first lesson. We shouldn't be so quick to give up our authentic self and the authentic seedbed that God has created us to produce fruit from because of an opportunity. That's a great opportunity. Matter of fact, the king said, I'm gonna make it profitable for you. He said, I'm going to give you another vineyard and even some money, and the vineyard I give you is going to be better than this one. I just want it because it's close to my house. How many times have people in the body of Christ sold their seedbed, jumped at opportunities to serve in places and spaces and locations that God didn't ordain because it was lucrative? How many people will sit in a place and die? They know they're sitting there dying. They know they're not getting fed, and they know where they need to be but won't release themselves from that place because there's a certain status and prestige that goes with sitting in that place. Yeah, I'm gonna leave that alone, but it's the truth anyhow. You can't sell out what you need for opportunity, for money. We can't preach for money. Are y'all hearing this? I— when I went to Vicksburg, God's on the truth. I didn't ask for a plane ticket, didn't ask for a hotel, took care of all that myself, didn't ask for money, right? Preached 2 days, went. Lord led me to receive an offering, never gave a denomination to what to give. I told the people, I said, everything y'all give, we're going to put it toward our building in Atlanta. We're trying to move in this building, and this offering, whatever y'all give me, whatever I leave here with, that's what it's going. And the woman of God said, you know what, Pastor, we want to just bless you with all of it because we want to be a support to the building. She had no idea what the people were giving. Look up, there were people writing checks of $1,000, $300, $500 saying, we want to be a part of what you're building because I'm moving in faith, trusting God that if I go in the vineyard and work what's right, he'll pay. I get honorariums and writers from people, and sometimes I'm like Who do you really think you are? Don't know. First of all, I don't know if I know you, and you asking for all this. You can't make demands if you're not in demand. Okay, yeah, don't nobody know who you are and you got this list of what you need. No, you might not be happy you were asked to come. Amen. Okay, I'm just saying that we let God take care of us. He's a good, good Father. Watch this. Neighbor said, I can't give you this, it's my daddy's. Verse 4, and the help came into his house heavy and displeased. Because the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him. For he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed and turned away his face and would eat no— I mean, this thing took his appetite. Ahab, this is depression. This is a spoiled king who can't get what he wants. Verse 5. But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, why is your spirit so sad that you won't eat? And he said to her, because I spoke to Naboth, and he said unto me, give me thy vineyard for money, or else if it please thee, I'll give you another vineyard for it. And he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard. Jezebel said, now wait a minute. Verse 7, ain't you the king? Don't you govern the kingdom? Arise and eat bread, let your heart be merry. You ain't got to worry about this, I'm gonna get the vineyard for you. She's operating out of order. Y'all see the manipulation? Now watch what she does in verse 8. She wrote letters in Ahab's name. She ain't the king. She done wrote letters in her husband's name, sealed them, sent the letters to the elders that were in the city where Naboth was. She wrote a letter saying, proclaim a fast and set Naboth on high among the people. So she's setting him up. She's a liar because she'll do whatever it takes to get what she wants. We can't have that in church. The body of Christ is full of this mess where people are doing what they want, people with microphones in their hand manipulating people every week, every Sunday. And online, we gotta defeat this thing, man. Are y'all with me? Long story short, she got there in New York the wrong way. There's so many people who are getting things the wrong way. The spirit of Jezebel will influence you to do things wrong and feel justified because you feel entitled. Y'all hearing this? It's a bunch of entitled folk in the kingdom that think God owes them something, and if he's not moving fast enough They will manipulate people in the name of God and recuse themselves because they feel they should have it anyway. Okay, all right, let me keep moving. So that's, that's the team. Jezebel, the next part of the team is Athaliah. Now Athaliah is Jezebel's seed. This is her daughter. Are y'all hearing this? This chick was vicious. She murdered her male descendants, her brothers. She killed them to guarantee her right to the throne. She said, I'm gonna kill my brother so I can be the queen. When my daddy dies. Are y'all hearing this? Vicious. Y'all be careful of this spirit because it operates inside Jezebel's spirit, because people will do anything to get what they want. And you got to be careful because people will murder you. They may not physically murder you, but they'll murder your name, they'll murder your character, they'll talk about you behind your back, they'll make up rumors and lies about you because this spirit is afraid of what you have to do. Are y'all here? His, his important piece to this killing the brothers— this spirit destroys generations. It kills the generational blessing so that you can't leave an inheritance to your children's children. It doesn't want kingdom legacy to emerge. So this spirit is constantly trying to murder potential. Rub your bellies. I got potential to produce something. See, the stuff you've been going through and the attacks you've been under, it's not about where you are, it's about what's in you and where you're going. Rub your belly again. Say, I'm going somewhere. See, see, God knows you're going to leave something behind, and he wants you to leave it behind. But the devil also knows, and so he employs Jezebel to wreak havoc, and Atalia. This team is working. And then here we go, y'all know her, Delilah. Delilah seduces and steals strength. She destroys destiny. I hit it a little bit Sunday. A seducer pulls you in. You got to be careful of the body of Christ of seducers who pull you into themselves. You got to be careful of men that will want the attention on them, and they never will do anything really to build you up or deploy you. They seduce you into their personality. Are y'all hearing this? They seduce you into their intellect and their abilities. They pull you to themselves. What we need is conducers. A conducer pulls you through. A seducer pulls you in. My job is not to pull you to me, it's to pull you through me to God. Are y'all hearing this? Because you're elected, you got to come through the teaching, come through the revelation to God, not me. And any leader that wants anything more than that, that's a problem. But this threefold demonic cord of Jezebel, Athaliah, Delilah, it seeks to place— watch this— the children of God, you and I, kingdom citizens on— oh my God— a demonic lockdown that keeps us stuck going in circles and never produce what God has called us to produce. And why am I teaching this? Because we got this contract on this million-dollar building. You better believe it's a lot of chatter. You may never hear it, but I'll be hearing it in the spirit. Because I'm very vocal about what God is doing. I'm— because I wanted to be a testimony to his glory. Now, we can't afford to be pulled into ideologies that go against the expansion. A lot of ministries stay stuck because they went against that. And I was talking to one pastor, he said, well, 'You know what, God just want me to stay in this building. Yeah, this building's paid for, I ain't got no mortgage. You know, the people we got, these all the people we gonna have.' That spirit of Jezebel— and that person doesn't even know that spirit of arrested development that Jezebel released— they don't even understand that they're stuck because of that. They gave up on their dreams because I remember this person was dreaming. I remember they were casting vision, and at some point they got tired. I just gave up hope and said, I'm gonna settle for this. And if we're not careful, Jezebel will incite fear. How y'all gonna pay for that million-dollar building? This kind of conversation the enemy trying to have with me. I'm like, you might as well take this some kind of— because that's the battleground on the mind, because he wants me to get distracted by what I see. And God has already promised I can't build this on what I see. I gotta build it by faith. I gotta walk by faith and not by sight, not by what I see. So we got to be careful that as the parishioners, as leaders in this church, that you don't get sidetracked by what you see. Because you can be serious. Apostle, talking about this building, and man, he talking about paying off that million dollars in a year. We're gonna have to— it's gonna be $99,000 a month we're gonna have to pay to pay that building off in a year. Well, my God is able to do anything. Oh, y'all hearing this? He can do the impossible. He don't need a big crowd of people to be God. All we need to know is he authorized us. Because trust me, if this was left up to me, I would be trying to find another building I would buy, but it wouldn't be none of all what I'm talking about. But I know what God wants to do, and it's more for those that come behind me. It's to create an epicenter in this city where the kingdom is being advanced. Are y'all listening? So go to Isaiah 54, and we're going to close. Y'all get anything out of this tonight? He says, sing, oh childless woman. So, I mean, this is the remedy for the network of Jezebel and the gods of Jezebel and attacks for Jezebel worship. Are you hearing this? Y'all wonder why we worship so hard. Everything we do has to be built on the substratum of worship. The suggestion here is when there is barrenness, worship. Don't worry, worship, sing, O barren woman, break forth into a loud, joyful song, O Jerusalem, even though you never gave birth to a child. For the woman who could bear no children now has more— listen to this— than all the other women. The Lord says, enlarge your house. Somebody say enlarge your house. Build an addition. Glory to God. Spread out your home, for you will soon be bursting at the seams. I need somebody tonight to catch that in the spirit. I've been saying it, but I'm telling you, the word is confirming it even now. Soon we're going to be bursting at the seams, even before we even get in that building good, we're gonna need to be, be building a new building on the 33 acres. Y'all not talking to me here, because the move is going to create not only a glory to God that our faith is intact, but it's going to create revival in a way. Glory to God, where people are going to come to see what God is doing. He says 'Enlarge your house, build additions, spread out your home. Soon you'll be bursting out. Your descendants'— which means not us, that's why we got to build it, that's why we got to do it— 'will take over other nations and live in their cities.' So we're building this for dominion. We're building this for takeover. We, we are here to do something in many ways that has never been done. Notice the prophetic declaration in the text. First of all, he says, break forth. Y'all see that? He says, break forth. He says, break— you're gonna break out of your old place and launch into a new one. Say that with me. Say, I'm getting ready to move into the new. I need you to understand something. While God is shifting the church, I need y'all to hear me tonight, and we're gonna get out of here. He's shifting your house. I need you to hear this. Why he's shifting this house He's— oh my God— gonna cause your house to break forth. The, the old systems and cisterns that are in your house, God says— I wish I had y'all with me here tonight and that you could hear this prophetic sound that God is releasing to us. God is saying, as we move, we cannot afford to allow Jezebel to control our thoughts, control our faith, cause us to move in fear. We got to understand that God is breaking us forth. Not just the church, but you as individuals are also breaking forth. Okay, he says you're gonna break out of your old place and launch into the new. All those old systems are about to pass away. All those old sicknesses are passing away. That's why we was killing Jezebel Sunday. She has to die because she carries a historical mantle that tries to bring up your past and tries to make you feel that your past will hinder into your future. But I want to tell you tonight, God will never look at your past to determine your future. I need you to help me here. You need to understand, I don't care where you've been, how you messed up, what mistakes you made, God won't look at yesterday to determine where you're going. He said there's a couple things here. He says, bring forth. Then he says, enlarge your house. Good God. He said, get ready for something really awesome. I'm telling you, something really awesome is about to help enlarge your house, build an addition. God is adding new room to your life. Rub your belly and say, my capacity is increasing. Say, I'm enlarging even now in the name of Jesus. I need you to receive that. You got to expand your capacity. What you thought you can handle, you're bigger than that. Glory! What you thought your max was, there is more. He said enlarge your house. Watch out, he says this, he says spread out your home. It's in there. He said that means to expect great expansion and then extend your wings. So expect things to stretch and expand and begin to soar like an eagle. Watch this. That ability to fly and soar like an eagle is gonna keep you in the air, and you're gonna always fly over the hard places. You're gonna soar over the storms. You're gonna soar over that atmosphere, that, that stratosphere that Jezebel operates in, because you're gonna fly above her and she has no ability to reach your height. Touch yourself, say, I'm getting ready to soar. He says we're about to burst at the seams. That's the fourth piece there, with joy. Shey'ah in Hebrew, that word means prophet. P-R-O-F-I-T. That don't mean to be ecstatically happy. Joy means you're profitable. You're not in the black, you're not in the red, you're in the black. You got more than enough. Are y'all hearing this? Touch yourself, say, I'm about to get more than enough. So God's about to do a new thing. Say, new doors are opening, new ways are being made. Say, I'm getting ready to break forth with a joyful song. Say, worship is my culture. Say, worship is my attitude. Say, in the name of Jesus, every place I was barren, I'm about to give birth. Say, I decree and declare that my water has broken. I'm moving now out of the waiting room into the delivery room, and I'm getting ready to give birth to blessings, to glory, to power, to anointing. Say, in the name of Jesus, I'm gonna enlarge my house. Oh, tabasoto koshaya. Say, I'm gonna enlarge my house. Say, I'm getting ready to build additions. Say, my capacity is expanding now. Say, I'm enlarging and I shall receive more. I'm bursting at the seams right now in Jesus' name. Listen, if you believe it, I need you to praise God. Come on, on this Thursday night, don't you play with this. Come on, if you believe you're about to break forth, if you believe Jezebel is defeated, hallelujah. If you believe Atalia, Delilah, Baal, and Ashtaroth have no place in your life, glory to God. You are a king's kid. You're a child of God. I declare that you will not be stuck another day. You will not be broken another day. I command your heart to be healed. I command your finances to be healed. I command your vision to be renewed. I command the curse to be broken off of your children, off of your family. I break tonight generational curses that's trying to close your mouth. I declare you have a prophetic seed in you. You have a spermatic destiny. You have a vision. To bring to pass more than you dreamed of. You're still alive because God still needs you. Open your mouth! You're alive because there's more. Ketama. Just touch yourself, say, I'm alive, I'm alive, because there's more, there's more. Shaka tabaya. There's more dreaming to do, there's more vision to plan, there's more— oh my God— territory to conquer, there's more conquering to do. God ain't finished with you until his glory can be seen upon your life. Glory to God. I've been lately binding the spirit of death and the spirit of murder because the enemy is crazy. He'll bring to my mind, be like, you know, you ain't gonna live to see that stuff. You know, you, you know, that ain't gonna happen for you. You're gonna die prematurely. The devil is a liar. I decree and declare over my life and every life under the sound of my voice, you shall not die but live to declare the works of the Lord. And I serve notice on every witch and every warlock and every spirit of Jezebel that wars against the prophetic spirit of Elijah that rests on our life. I sentence you to death. I cast you out and I send you to drop places. You have no power. You have no authority. I bind up every spirit of division, discord, dismantling, confusion, lying demons, lying spirits. I bind you up in the name of Jesus. And I declare in the name of Jesus, those people that are assigned to this house— God, you said, and takansi atai, that you have set the members in the church. Your word said, and I decree and declare, every member that's resisting their position where you have set them, they are resisting it. Yeah, and you may be watching me, and if you If you feeling it in your belly and if you feel like I'm talking about you, I am. I rebuke that demon that's keeping you bound in that dead place. God says you gotta rise up like he said to Elijah when he was hiding from Jezebel. He said, rise up prophet and eat. See, you're not eating what you need to feed where you're going. And God said Jezebel has had you bound long enough. Rise up and eat in the name of Jesus. Father, we bless you and we thank you for this word. Thank you Thank you for the release. Hallelujah. He who the Son sets free is free indeed. In the name of Jesus, and we declare it to be so in Jesus' name. Come on, clap your hands and bless him again. Hallelujah. We're going home. Glory to God. I'm teaching this, guys, because God one commanded that I teach like this in this season, but I'm teaching because I want to make sure we finish what God has assigned us to do and Nothing will stop us. We're gonna stand on the word. Thank you, Jesus. We're gonna give tonight really quickly. Those of you online, do not go away. We want you to get your best sacrifice in the ground on this Thursday night. I want you to make a sacrifice unto the Lord. Again, we got a lot of stuff going on. And we need God to move.
