GOD'S BIG IDEA! | DR. MIKE WOODS, SR.

Well, praise the Lord, everybody. I pray you well. Good evening, happy Thursday. Uh, it is Thursday night. I'm going to welcome you guys here, uh, whether you're watching us— we're streaming over 5 platforms right now, on X, on Instagram, YouTube, and over 3 Facebook pages. So Welcome tonight, uh, to all of you that are joining us. So glad you're here, no matter where you're joining from. I am excited to teach the word of God tonight. I pray that you guys would join in and grab this, whether you're watching us live or by replay tonight. What I need you guys to do— glory to God— I need you to share, as it says on the screen. Uh, I need you to share, uh, this content tonight. I believe somebody's going to be blessed. I believe the word of God, guys. The Bible says he sent his word and it healed them. So not only do I believe that many of you that are listening tonight will be healed, uh, physically if you have ailments in your body, but I believe that there's going to be restoration and restitution even in your finances and your families, uh, their psychological debilitations are going to be healed, uh, places where you've been broken on the inside. I believe that as we teach the word, uh, you're going to be restored. I believe as we release this word tonight, because again, there is a word from the Lord, as we release this word tonight, I believe that something's going to happen in the realm of glory. Yes, God, uh, that's going to usher your mindset into a new place. I, I'm honestly believing tonight that after this teaching you will never be the same. Oh my God, again! Yeah, you'll never be the same again. I'm believing God for that. So I trust tonight that you stay with me. Don't scroll. I'm gonna be as extemporaneous as I possibly can. Again, if you're joining us live or by replay, please do two things— three things for me. One, I want you to hit the like button on this video. Uh, if you are in— if you don't like it, you don't like it. And then that probably lends itself to the fact that you probably shouldn't be wasting your time. I know I'm not going to waste my time watching something I don't like, but if you're here and you like it, what I need you to do, guys, is hit that like button and share. Secondly, guys, I need you to comment below and say hello and let us know you are here. Uh, welcome, uh, my friend Bruce Pollard, who's watching us, uh, I believe on Facebook tonight. Gloria to the name of God. I think he normally watches us on Facebook. Again, we're over 5 different platforms: YouTube, Facebook, uh, Twitter, and Instagram. 3 Facebook pages. Wherever you're watching, uh, Mira Bruce and say hello. That's the second thing I need you to do. So number 1, I need you to like this video. Number 2, I need you to say hello. Uh, Bruce, good to see you, man. I pray that, uh, life is treating you well. I pray that the hand of God is on you and everything you set your hands to is prospering. Glory to the name of God. So welcome to our live stream tonight. Uh, and once again, family, no matter where you're joining us, uh, drop it in the comments. Glory to God. And let us know that you are here. Number one, we need you to hit the like button. Number two, tell us you're here. And number three, we want you to share. And that is probably the— all of those are important, but number three is very it. Because listen, when you share, you are participating— watch this— in the blessing. You're participating in ensuring that somebody other than you can get this word and be blessed by it. Matter of fact, the scripture tells us we are blessed to be a blessing. So I go back to my previous, uh, idea. The reality is, if it's blessing you you ought to want to share it with somebody. Glory to the name of God. And if— grow— it's— you're here and it's not blessing you, I, I don't, I don't get it. I don't understand, uh, why you're even here. Glory to God. But if this word, uh, blesses you, I need you to share it. Glory to God. Uh, and again, we're going to be extemporaneous. Thank you, Bruce. God bless you, man. I, I know it. I see. I know the Lord is taking care of you. So glad that you're, you're strong and you're doing well. Uh, glory to God. We're going to pray tonight and we're going to plunge right into the heart of this teaching. I believe God has something, uh, very strategic again that he wants to share with us, uh, that he wants to give to us on tonight. Glory. I know some people show up, uh, incognito and they don't want people to know, but listen, man, Share it. Glory to the name of God. Let somebody know. Glory to the name of God that you are participating, you're learning, you're growing, and share the blessing with them. Let's pray. Father, we give you praise and we thank you, God, for this opportunity to teach and to preach and to share your word with your people. Thank you for the spirit of prophecy, uh, that resides on the inside of us, God, for your word declares that Jesus Christ is the spirit of prophecy. So that means you yourself indeed is the spirit of prophecy. So I, I thank you that that spirit is inside of me and it is alive, God. And even as we preach and teach tonight, and as the prophetic word comes forth, I pray that it will literally, uh, propel— let prophecy propel, uh, those that listen into another dimension tonight. Let it, uh, propel them into another mindset. I'm asking you, God, to do something unusual for them. Do something that man cannot do. Uh, saturate their mind, saturate their heart. And I decree and declare, God, that every person that hears this message will be stirred toward their authentic place on earth. And I give you praise for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And amen. And perhaps, yes God, if somebody comes by here that does not know you, may they experience the gift of salvation even tonight. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. All right, God bless you guys. Again, if you're just joining us, please, uh, say hello. Amen. It's just, uh, nice to be nice. Uh, like this video and by all means, I need you— glory to God— to share this. Amen. Glory to Jesus. All right, we're going to get right into this tonight. I believe that God has something to say, and I believe that there is something that he wants to do for us that is, uh, just so amazing and gonna blow our mind tonight. Uh, glory to God. I want to go to Jeremiah really quick as we start this tonight. Uh, the message we are teaching, glory to the name of God, um, again is tonight is God's Big Idea. Glory to God. And, um, I'm telling you, God has a, a big idea with your— hallelujah— name on it. Glory to God. That's specifically for you. Specifically designed for your breakthrough, specifically, uh, designed for your increase, your development, your forward movement in life. Glory to God. Matter of fact, I always say, glory to Jesus, if something is not increasing you, it will ultimately decrease you. I'm going to say that again. If something is not increasing you, it will ultimately decrease you. I'm going to say it one more time: if something is not increasing you, it will ultimately decrease you. So you gotta inventory what's around you, who you're connected to, who you trust— glory to the name of God— who's in your inner circle, and make sure that those people are adding value. Glory to God. Because if they're not bringing an increase, they're ultimately going to bring decrease. And then check yourself. Make sure the places you find yourself in, that you're adding value, that you're increasing that situation. Because if not, ultimately, again, uh, you will bring a decrease, uh, to that situation. Hello, Toya, God bless you and welcome tonight. Glory to God. So I want you to understand something, guys. God has always— listen to this— been 100% invested in our development, in our process, in us— watch this— being the best version of ourselves we could possibly be. So I want to go to Jeremiah really quick. Glory to God. And, uh, I want to go to 29. Praise God. And I'm going to read a very a familiar verse tonight, but, uh, Jeremiah 29. Praise God. I pray you with me tonight. Stay with me. I'm— I just sound long. I'm not going to be long. I need you to stay with me. And if you're just joining us, do like Bruce and Toya and say hello. Glory to the name of God. And let us know you're here. Uh, glory to the name of God. Don't be, uh, silent and don't hide tonight. Let us know you're with us. Praise God. Jeremiah 29. 10 and 11. I want to read this. Praise God. The Bible says this, it says, for I know— listen, glory to God— the thoughts, glory to Jesus, that I think toward you, says the Lord. Now, Michael, uh, not your best friend, not mom, not dad, but God is speaking to us here. He says, I know. That word know is yada in Hebrew, which means that— watch this— I am intimately joyfully engaged, I perceive at all times because the thought was mine. In other words, Yada says I take ownership of what I'm thinking, and what I'm thinking is consistent. And watch this, it is a consistent reality. So what's on God's mind concerning you is not fake, it's not Phony. It's real. God says, I am thinking. The word yada also says, I have a preconceived— watch this— perception or distinguished idea concerning you. Oh my God. God says, what I know is predetermined. What I know about you is preconceived. So if we put all that together, God says, I have a preconceived idea, reality, thought concerning you. He says, I know the thoughts that I think toward you. Y'all heard me use this word before, but makhashhaba— makhashhaba is the Hebrew word for thoughts, and it means I know the idea, the invention, the purpose Watch this. The design that I have planned for your life. Oh my God, God is saying, I know the design that I have planned and orchestrate. I have invented something. Oh my God, again, this word, oh my God, makhashaba, it deals with the idea that there is an invention that's unique to your DNA. Oh my God, glory to God. Thank you, Pastor Jasper. Good to see you, sir. Uh, Pastor Jasper was watching us on YouTube. God bless you and good evening. Again, uh, makhashaba. This word gives the idea that there is something that has been invented in the realm of the spirit that's unique to you. Oh my God, today Good God from Zion. Good God. God bless you, Sharia, my daughter. Good to see you tonight. Glory to God. I need you to understand something. Just touch yourself and say, there's something God has invented that's unique to me. Let me tell you where it is. It's on the inside of you. So there's an idea, a big idea that God has invented for your life. So watch this: no more small thinking, no more low living. Glory to God! No more living beneath your privilege. Come on, I want you to grab this tonight because you serve a God that's bigger than you and that has you on his mind. Oh my God, this is so good to me tonight. I dare you, just type it in the comments: I'm on God's mind. Yeah, just type it down there. I'm on God's mind. I'm on God's mind. And the next time you feel like giving up, the next time it seems like your resources have run out and you don't have enough, or it seems like the world is coming against you, I need you to remember those words. I am on God's mind. Glory to God. There's an invention that's bigger than your problem. There's an idea that's bigger than where you are. You are on God's mind. Oh my God, tonight! Oh my God, tonight! Ah, hey! Oh my God, I feel— I'm trying not to get happy. Glory to God, because— but that brings me joy to know that no matter what I'm going through, I am on God's mind. No matter what the enemy throws at me, he's thinking about me. There's an adventure. And let me tell you something, there's something inside of you that you've yet to tap into. And I want to help you tonight understand how to appropriate that, how to appropriate that, and how to position yourself adequately and properly to walk under the banner of this promise. So let me keep reading. He says, for I know the thoughts that I think toward you. Let's just get that word to chashab, think. Glory to God. Wait a minute, these are thoughts that I have calculated about you. In other words, God says, I've added some things up already. Glory to— I've added up your problems, I've added up your good days, your bad days, I've added up all your situations. I've already calculated— are y'all here— a favorable outcome for your life. Oh my God, today. Oh Jesus, we love you and we give you glory, God. We give you honor. We thank you for calculation. God is— oh my God, God is already— he's already calculated the breakthrough. He's already calculated the blessing. He says, oh my God, Josh Hobbs, he says, I'm thinking I've charged something to you. It's toward you, which is huge, it's big. He's saying this plan is huge. It's on his mind. I got to get through this, man. He says, said the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil to give you— listen to this— an expected end. God says, so peace is shalom in Hebrew. It means the presence of God's assistance. This verse is important for where I'm about to go, because you need to know with what God is challenging you to establish. Hear this, I need you to hear me. You need to know that God is assisting you. Peace— shalom— is not the absence of confusion, it's the presence of assistance. So peace is not the absence of confusion, again, it's the presence of assistance, which means God says this dream is so big This thing I have planned for you is so huge, you're not going to be able to do it alone. It's bigger than your degree, is bigger than your intellect, is bigger than your network, is bigger than your 1 million followers on Twitter or Instagram, is bigger celebrity than your celebrity status, is bigger billionaire than your bank account. God says, what I have put in you is bigger than what you've already experienced, and you're gonna need the peace to know that in your quest to fulfill what you've never fulfilled before, you're gonna need the peace to know that he is present to assist you. So again, tonight we're discussing God's big idea. Glory to God. Somebody say that with me. Say, God's big idea. Say it again. Say, I'm on his mind. And if you're on God's mind, I'm gonna tell you something. There's nothing little about that. There's nothing small about that. What's on God's mind pertaining to you, glory to the name of God, is huge. Listen, if you're just joining us, please say hello. Glory to God. Please share. Glory to the name of God. Please share. Please share. Glory to the name of God. Somebody else needs to hear this. Glory to God. Please get— matter of fact, like this video, comment below, let us know you're here, and share. Glory to God. Again, tonight we are discussing, praise the Lord, God's big idea. I need somebody again to type, I am on his mind. Oh yes, you are. Yes, you are. You are on his mind. Uh, good evening, Jerry Green. Welcome. Glory to the name of God. Thank you for sharing with us that you are here. Glory to God. So tonight I want to jump into this. Glory to God. And I want to show you what God's big idea looks like. Uh, we understand that it's— we just, from what we just read, we understand that each one of us is on this planet because his idea is in us. Matter of fact, can I submit to you tonight? Are you ready? Are you ready? Can I submit to you tonight the reason you're still breathing? Yes. The reason you have life, the reason your heart is beating, The reason you woke up this morning and will wake up tomorrow is because there is something still in you that God needs to manifest. There is a role you have to play on this planet to cause the kingdom to manifest in authority and power. You know, we get a lot— we got a lot of people around here, glory to God, who throw the word kingdom around and people just don't understand it. And so what I want to do tonight is show you this idea that's in God's mind for every human and how we should be operating as citizens not of our prospective states in the United States, but really as citizens of the kingdom of God. All right, so the God's Big Idea basically has 3 simple goals, and you might want to write these down. I'm going to give them to you, then I'm going to break them down individually. The first one is, is to The first part of God's big idea is to reclaim— listen to this— God's kingdom on earth. I'm gonna say that again. It is to reclaim God's kingdom on earth. Watch this. So that we can reclaim the earth for the kingdom. So the reason the kingdom has to manifest through us is so we can reclaim earth for the kingdom of heaven. I'm going to talk about that in a moment. So the first aspect of God's big idea is to reclaim earth for the kingdom of heaven. Oh my God, today again, I'm gonna say that again, is to reclaim earth for the kingdom of heaven. Secondly, it is to create a kingdom culture on earth. So we can't really effectively do that until we reclaim the entire earth for God. And then after we do that, we can effectively— hear me, guys— create a kingdom culture on earth. Listen, that's what we're here for. I know you, you pastor, you apostle, you preacher, you evangelist— yeah, don't scroll past this, stay right here. I know you want to hear it. Glory to God. But you need to, because you think what you— hallelujah— are doing as a church representative and teaching your people how to have church— you're growing church, you're having praise breaks, you're screaming and yelling, and I'm not against any of that, but your impact is very minimal when it comes to creating a kingdom culture. I'm gonna show you why in a moment. All right, don't, don't scroll, please stay with me. Whoo! Please stay with me, please stay with me, please stay with me, please stay with me. And then thirdly, the big idea of God is to create a community community on earth that represents the kingdom. So our job is through a kingdom culture is to produce a kingdom community on the earth. Watch this, where the kingdom of God in this community is the highest priority of any human on earth. Watch this, saved or not, they recognize that the community of the kingdom is in charge. Oh, oh, this ain't gonna be popular tonight because it's gonna go against all the religious jargon. Listen, we're not just called to have good church and to bounce around and hype people up and you know, say a whole lot of clichés and try to preach like Bishop Jakes and preach like everybody else. No, our job is to change the entire world and to bring the world into— watch this— subjection. Let me just back up what I just said, and then we're gonna get in, we're gonna break these down. Number 3, go to Genesis, because y'all don't believe what the preachers say. Go to Genesis. Glory to God. Go to Genesis. Genesis. Glory to God. Genesis 1, verse 28. My favorite verse in the entire Bible. My entire life for 35 years in ministry is based on this verse. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God bless you, Apostle Peterson. Welcome. Good to see you, woman of God. Glory to God. God bless you. God bless you. God be praised. Glad you're here with us tonight. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Genesis 1:28, let's read this. The Bible says, and God blessed them. Let me, let me, let me stop right there. The word bless is barak in Hebrew in this text, and it literally means to kneel. It means to actually bestow a blessing. Watch this, it means to bless oneself. This is what I love about this. So God looked at the man he created, and watch this, this shows us how powerful worship is, that even God, when he sees himself, he blocks, he kneels, he humbles himself to not Adam and Eve, but to himself in them. He recognizes his omnipresence and that I am in them. So let me block, let me honor what's myself in them. This is why it is so important, guys, to know who's on the inside of you. Glory to God. And to always have space for him to reside so he can bless you. You see, blessing is not a Cadillac, it's not a Mercedes, it's not a Maybach, it's not a Bentley or Rolls-Royce, uh, it's not a mansion, it's not a billion dollars. Blessing is the presence of the Creator alive. I didn't say dead, I said alive in you, to the point that he recognizes himself because you're made in his image and his likeness. So when he sees Adam and Eve, he doesn't see male, female, he sees himself. And he worships, which sets the order that worship is important. If God worships him— oh my God— himself, then we surely should honor and worship the presence in us. Oh, you got a king in you. Hallelujah. Just touch your belly and say, there's a king in me, there's a king in me. Hallelujah. There's a king in me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. There's a king in me, there's a king in me. Goliaths to defeat, visions to decree. There's a king in me. There's a king in you, and you got to let him come alive so he can honor himself inside of you. Oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing. You really ain't got to comment if you don't want to at this point. I prayed before I got on here. Glory to God. I'm saying what thus saith the Lord tonight. This word is very prophetic. See, the church has been caught up in the church. The church has been overly impressed with celebrities and mega mess. Oh my God, yeah, I'll say that again. Uh, so glad I'm so financially, uh, blessed, and because God really lives in me, I ain't really got to go preach for none of these people. Uh, they might need me to come, but I ain't got to. Okay, the reality is it's a lot of mess, and who Oh, I'm getting some trouble. Glory to God. I'm getting in trouble. Glory to God. It's a lot of mega mess, a lot of iconolatry, worship of men, which is why the glory many a times doesn't show up in these places. Many a times there are no manifested miracles. There are false miracles and false manifestations and lies being told about miracles happening, but in many cases Very few. But if God is in us, watch this, he should show up every time. There should be something miraculous, ish kaya, that takes place every single time. His glory should rest on the house, glory to God, and lives and mindsets should be changed every time we walk in. But you know what? People pack out, uh, uh, oh my God, and it's not the preacher's fault in a lot of ways, and in some ways it is. But at the end of the day, we'll pack out these mega messes looking for the man, looking for popularity, and all we really experience is an extension of the man's flesh, never really experiencing— oh my God, God, oh God, oh my God, I gotta teach, praise God, oh my God. The reality is He's in us and he wants to honor what's in us. All right, and God bless them. Let me keep reading. I didn't— I got stuck that long on one word. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Lord, I love you. I praise you. I give you glory. You want the man— I love you, Father. You're worthy of I give you glory. Thank you for your anointing, God, that destroys yokes. I declare that every person under the sound of my voice, live or by replay, I decree and declare over their life now that they will position themselves in a place of authority and power. And that, oh my God, the Holy Spirit that lives in them, God, that you will begin to emerge in such a way and come alive in such a way that you yourself will bless them like you blessed Adam and Eve because of your presence. Oh, just lay your hands on yourself and say, Lord, bless me. Hallelujah. Yes, God, lay your hands on yourself and say, Lord, bless me. Glory to— I got to get through this, man. I got a long ways to go. Oh my, he's— and said to them, be fruitful. First phase of dominion. I don't have time. And multiply and replenish the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. So 4 phases of dominion: fruitfulness, multiplication, replenishing, subduing. Subduing— I just want to bring that out— subdue means to enslave. I know we don't like to hear that word slave, but it's a good thing because through influence and the authority of the king, what we do is— it's not cultish— we bring the world— watch this— into a recognition that God's way is the only way. Whether they choose to accept it or not, they, they will have no choice because you and I, the believer, begins to walk in so much authority and so much dominion and so much power, they will have no choice. Hear me, guys, but to— oh Jesus— but to accept Oh my God, I'm about to run out of this studio. That the way of the kingdom is the way, and that God is supreme, and that he supplies everything. Glory to God. So we have to subdue so that the idea of the kingdom is honored. So again, the big idea wraps itself— hear me, guys— around 3 things. Listen to this. Glory to God. Around 3 things: to reclaim the earth for the kingdom of heaven, to— watch this— create a kingdom of culture on earth, and to produce a kingdom community where Jesus is King. Ah, he's King of Kings, right? So even as the King of Kings is recognized as King of the earth, It doesn't reduce the fact that the president would be considered a king, or the King of England, or the king of an African nation, or the prime minister of a foreign country. Listen, the reality is all of these systems have to come to a place where they bow to Jesus as King. Listen to me, that cannot happen. Unless you and I take our place and allow the kingdom to manifest through us. Can I submit to you again? The only reason you're breathing, yeah, the only reason you're alive is so that the kingdom of God can manifest through you, is that your kingdom purpose, that God's idea for your life can manifest, and you can rule in your sphere of influence. So none of those three things happens without dominion, which is the general idea of God. Dominion is rada in Hebrew. It means to rule completely. It means to have total authority and rulership in your sphere of influence. One thing about dominion, I'm not going to stay there because— but that's the original idea of God. Watch this. The reality is dominion occurs, hallelujah, when we recognize who that if we're not ruling, if we're not in charge in our space of purpose and influence, we're actually living beneath our privilege because we serve the highest authority— watch this— on earth. Okay, yeah, he's not just in heaven, he's also on earth. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. So reality is we're walking around carrying this kingdom in us. Please share, guys, please share. If you're just joining us, hit that share button, hit the like button. Glory to the name of God. Let people know that this word is going out. Right now. Glory! And stay with me, do not scroll. I am almost done. I want— I'm just gonna go through those 3 things in God's idea, but please share, please share. If you're joining us live or replay, we're streaming over— glory to the name of God— 5 different platforms right now: 3 Facebook pages, YouTube, X, and Instagram. Please share wherever you're watching us from. Comment below, let us know that you are here with us. Rub your belly and say, the King, aya, is within me. Glory to God, he's alive in you. Glory to Jesus. Thank you, Lord. All right, so here we go, here we go. Let's unpack how we reclaim the earth. Watch this, listen guys, for the kingdom of heaven. The first thing we got to do, glory to God, is realize that actually the earth was created originally— listen to this— to be an extension of heaven. Let me just give you some background. In the beginning— watch this— whoo! And in the beginning denotes that Genesis 1:1 was not really The beginning is just a prepositional phrase, phrase that says basically whenever the beginning was, right, God created the heavens and the earth. This is just how Moses begins his history lesson. But whenever the beginning was, God created heaven and earth. Watch this. He did not just create heaven. He created them both at the same time. And earth's original intent— watch this— was to be an extension. I don't have time tonight to jump all the way into this— of heaven. So we gotta reclaim earth. Why? Oh. Glory to God, because earth was created for the glory of God. Because watch this, whenever the beginning was, God created heaven and earth. And then verse 2, hallelujah, says, and the earth was without form. Well, I need you to understand, between verse 1 and verse 2, I don't have time, so don't expect me to unpack this. Glory to God. God bless you, Pastor Brooks. Good to see you tonight, man of God. Listen, don't expect me to unpack this, I don't have time. Glory to God. But between Genesis chapter 1— I got to— I feel like running. Glory to God. And chapter 2, Ezekiel chapter 14 happened. I don't have time. I gotta teach this tonight. I don't have time. But the Bible says in Ezekiel 14 that Satan fell from heaven as lightning to the earth. Well, what was happening before he failed and rose up in pride and wanted to overthrow God and all that stuff? Angels and Lucifer were descending and ascending between earth and heaven, and God— oh my God— would get off his throne. And you read it in Ezekiel. The prophet saw it and will go to the earth and receive worship from Lucifer. And God put man in the earth to dominate the earth. This is why men were created full grown. Adam was full grown and he had authority over this beautiful creation that God had made. But watch this in verse number 2 of Genesis. And the earth was without form. Wait a minute, everything God makes is good. So this Genesis chapter 1— I don't have time, don't push me. I feel some of y'all pulling this out of me. Stop it in the name— I'm not doing it. I got to finish teaching this. We'll teach that another time. I just need to give you some background. But watch this, everything God creates is perfect. It's perfect. It's perfect. Oh my God, it's perfect. No, it's perfect. Are you hearing this? Every single thing God creates is perfect. But why is verse 2 saying it's without form, which means it's deformed? It's been messed up. It's void. It's empty. It's ugly and it's dark. How? God is light. We read in Ezekiel 14, this place was glorious and full of light. I feel like running. God, God, please. Put my seatbelt on, Lord. Yes, God, today— whoa, watch this— and the Earth was without form. You know why? Because Satan, who once was Lucifer, hit the Earth. And guess what? Satan is without form. The Bible says he comes as a roaring lion. He ain't no liar. He's as one. He shows up as an angel of light. See, when he hit the earth, the earth became void. Can I submit to you the spirit of sin? They don't teach you this in Sunday school. This is Revelation. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Ha! Shikuransi an tatamansi. Oh God, I love you. Itena! Shaba! Oh God, I feel the Holy Ghost! Glory to God! I'm teaching Sunday school. Listen, listen, sin was in the earth before Eve fell. Sin was in the earth and messed up the earth when Satan fell. Oh my God, the spirit of sin was already here. Good God, Satan without form. Watch this, he's void. He has no God. He's empty. He's dirty. There's no way he could ever be filled. There's no way Satan can ever be repented and restored. Glory to God, he is void. And y'all know he darkness. And darkness was upon the face of the deep. But guess what God did in Genesis 1? He came down and said, let me recreate this thing. Glory to God. And he said, let there be light. Oh, Shabbatia! Rubaki antatabaya! Rubesimukiansa! Lord, I love you! Briskatama! Usatama diosu! And he turned on the light. So Genesis 1 is a reconstruction of whenever the beginning was. That's all I'm giving y'all, no more. We're going to go on to the next point. So the first thing we got to do, glory to God, is realize in reclaiming the earth, hallelujah, for the Kingdom of Heaven, is that it always was ours. So we gotta take it back, what's ours. We gotta reclaim it. I'm gonna show you how to do that in a moment. Secondly, okay, here we go. We gotta accept the fact that mankind, that's you and I, we were created— listen guys— to dominate the extension of heaven. So when God began the reconstruction process, the last thing he did was saying, now after he had spoke to the water— anything that God created, he spoke to the source of it so it can give him what he wanted. Let me give you an example. He wanted fish, he spoke to the water, and the water gave him fish. He wanted animals, he spoke to the ground. Ah, yes Lord, yes Lord. He wanted— oh my— he wanted birds, he spoke to the firmaments. He wanted stars, he spoke to the firmament. He wanted a man. He didn't speak to the ground. He formed our body from dust, but when he made us, he spoke to himself and said, let us, let us make man. And whenever anything dies, it goes back to where it came from. Birds die in the firmament, in the air. They go— oh boy, are you hearing this? Fish go back to the sea. Our body goes to the dust, but our spirit goes to God. I gotta get out of here, family. I gotta get out of here, man. I gotta get out of here, man. I gotta go. I gotta go. My time is— I got 10 minutes, right? My time is about gone. Listen, I got to get through this stuff. So we're created to dominate this extension. We were created to have dominion. He gave us that mandate in 1:28, right? Thirdly, Adam's mistake, Adam's sin— this is how we reclaim it— had to be reversed. How's it reversed? Through the second Adam. The blood of Jesus washes us Watch this, not just to go to heaven. See, most people think they got saved just to go to heaven. No, you got saved to dominate. You got saved so that very thing that's in you that causes you to have dominion— glory to God— that causes you— hear me, oh God have mercy, oh my God, oh my God— that causes you Listen to me. To be significant, unique, and authentic. That's why you're saved, to produce that so that comes alive, so that society can intermingle with it. Oh my God, today, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy. Oh my God. You ain't saved just— most Christians are living, glory to God, as escape artists. You, you try to escape fire. We, we, we're living with our backpacks looking out the window saying, Lord Jesus, please come on, get us out of here, God. That's not the principle. The principle is you're saved to dominate because you were created to dominate. You're saved to go back to your original authentication, which is to dominate the earth. How do terminate in your fear of influence by discovering what's in you. Oh, I know you thought you were saved to have good church. I know you thought you were saved to strike up a good tune on the Hammond B-3. Nobody likes to dance and worship more than myself. I am Pentecostal every single day. I'm a worshiper, and y'all know I'll worship all But when we get finished, we gotta show up in the world and realize we're created to dominate. I need you to do more than show up at the building on Sunday. I need you to show up in the world and dominate in your sphere— oh my God— of influence. Oh, yabashi antatabaya, obakianza. That, that's why you're saved, people. That's why you were created, not to take a back seat and be a second-class citizen. There's dominion in you, there's authority in you. Oh God, today, whoa, I got to get out of here, man. This thing is getting good to me. Glory to God. Y'all know I love y'all, right? Game 1 of the NBA Finals is on TV right now. Glory to God. But I got an assignment from God. And I'm here tonight to release this word to you. And don't nobody jump off because you're trying to go watch the game. Stay with me. I'm telling you right now, this message— oh, share it, please, please share it, please like it. Glory to the name of God. And make sure someone else is blessed by it, because it's blessing me. I know it's blessing you if you're here. Glory to God, because this is from God. This ain't Michael Woods, this is God tonight. Glory. God is speaking to us. Glory to God. All right, so we'll reclaim the earth for the Kingdom of Heaven. Secondly, secondly, I gotta go. We want to create a culture— hear me, guys, hear me, hear me— on earth that says this is the kingdom. And, and as I just said, the culture is not just what we do in the church. We must show up in the world and advance this culture on earth. Now, there are a few ways to manifest culture, and I'm going to share with you a few of them. Write them down if you can. We got to manifest the culture of the kingdom. We got to show the world that we are really a part of the King's DNA. Watch this. The word culture, if we would take a scientific definition, the word culture means a prepared medium or to grow in a prepared medium. So that means there is A prepared way of growth and development. Are you hearing this? That God has ordained for us to learn domination, to learn the culture of the kingdom. That's what the church is designed for. The church shouldn't be every week a shouting contest. Uh, it shouldn't be a dancing contest. I, I know, you know, we, we got people that major on praise. It's great, man, it's great. We're supposed to praise God, we're supposed to worship God, but the church really should be Kingdom University. Every time you sit in front of a preacher, you should learn how to advance the kingdom, and something in you should be motivated to go out and conquer something in the name of Jesus. Listen, if you leave worship and you ain't motivated to conquer something or be better or to get out of your norm, listen, I'm gonna tell you something. The purpose of the church wasn't served in that setting because there's a prepared medium. Uh, it's an integrated pattern of human knowledge that flows from culture. Now watch this, uh, Black people are, um, basically in a prepared medium that teaches them things that Black people do. And I'm not racist, but white people have white culture. There are some things that Black folk do that white folk don't do. I love my brother Bruce that's on here tonight. Bruce is a Caucasian. I got other Caucasian friends, glory to God. I don't hate Caucasians, so don't nobody go on and say that. What I am saying, there's a difference. They know it. We're different. It's because of culture. We eat different, we talk different, we dress different, because we have been integrated in a pattern of knowledge based on how we have been raised. Are y'all hearing this? Oh boy, I wish I had half a church tonight. God have mercy. Can I submit to you that every one of us, you and I, arrived on Earth in a prepared medium? All right, watch this. The prepared medium was the country and the culture of our birth. Watch this. American culture whether Black or white, is different than Asian culture. You know that by the Asians that come to our country. American culture is different than Spanish culture. You know that by the Hispanics that come to our country. Their culture is different because we're all born in a prepared medium, and when they come to America, they learn American culture. Oh God, watch this. The day we were born again— y'all ready for this? We were born again into a prepared median, a prepared culture. Oh my God, ah, my time is ticking away. Good God, let me, let me get out. Let me at least— let me get out of here. Let me get out here because I can stay all day. I can stay all day. Listen, so how do— how does culture manifest? The first way it manifests through our meaning of the kingdom is through our values. Values are defining characteristic of a culture, and what we value— watch this— reveals who we are. Our values— watch this— reflect our character. So basically, a value becomes our belief or our conviction that we consider worthy of obedience to or following after. In other words, when we follow certain values, we don't change it. So as believers, you and I, if we're going to create a culture of kingdom We must follow after the word of God. We cannot create values outside of the word. Watch this, we can't even do it to appease, like so many in this hour do, our habits, our idiosyncrasies, our shortcomings. No ma'am, no sir. We gotta stick to the word. We can't change our values to make whoremongers comfortable, or liars comfortable, or adulterers comfortable. Why don't forget you, or lesbians comfortable, or homosexuals comfortable. I may get shut down They may put me in Facebook jail for that, but I need you to understand we cannot change our values. This is our freedom of religion. Our book teaches that sin is a reproach to any nation, but righteousness exalts it. So we got to identify what sin, and we got to lift those as our value. We got to live the things that are not sin as our core values. We got to be righteous. We got to be in covenant with God. Oh boy, people ain't gonna like this. Uh, Matthew 5, uh, verse— starting verse 3. Let me read. Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of God. Are y'all with me? Glory to God. Hallelujah. Oh my God, I gotta go. I gotta keep reading. I can, I can break this down all night. But blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of God. This portion of Jesus' teaching, we know it as the Beatitudes, right? Or blessed sayings. It is from the Latin word beatus, which means blessed. Hallelujah! This is how we ought to be in attitude and value, right here. Matthew 5:3-10. Let me keep going. Culture manifests not only through values, culture manifests through priorities. So our priorities are the things we regard as most important. Matthew 6:33 says, seek ye first— uh, watch this— priorizo in Greek, which means to give superlative priority in rank or order. He says, seek first the kingdom The basilia, God's authority, God's rule, the King's dominion. And watch this, a, a aspect, a factor of the King's dominion, ooh-wee, is inside of you. So he says, seek that first. Seek the kingdom, seek the gift, seek the anointing, seek the purpose, seek the destiny, seek the plan, the invention, the authentication that's on from inside of you first. Seek is zataio, which means to pursue hard after, to go hard after with uninterrupted focus. Oh my God, today I gotta get out of here. I got— I don't have time. He said you seek these things first, the kingdom first, and his righteousness, his way of being right and accurate. Seek what is accurately God's way and his dominion, his King's rule and authority for your life. He said, and all these things will be added to you. So God is saying, I'm gonna take care of you if you come after me. You take care of my business, I'm gonna take care of yours. It's basically what he's saying. You seek me. I ain't say— I didn't say seek man, the iconolistic, uh, preacher with a million followers. I said seek the kingdom of God. Hear me, and seek accuracy, righteousness, diasune in Greek. Seek the systematic way of living under God's rule, under God's influence. That's what you ought to be seeking daily. That's what you ought to be praying for daily. All right, number 3, culture is manifested— I'm just going to run through these— through behaviors, how you behave, pneumatikos in Greek. So the way we behave, hallelujah, reveals our culture. If you're living against the word, there's no way the kingdom is your culture. If you're against Jesus Christ and you— your life and your behavior reflects that, the kingdom of God is not your culture. I don't care who you are. Listen, we have our values based in the Kingdom Constitution, which is the Bible— Genesis to Revelation. It works, it's real, it's alive. Oh my God, this book is alive! Glory to God, this book is real! Are you hearing this? Glory to God. I, I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. Number 4, we have standards. So not only do we behave right, but we have certain standards that we apply every day in our life. And our standards will let people see whether we have a culture of mediocrity or culture of excellence, a culture of weakness or a culture of power. So we got to manifest that again through the authentic thing that's on the inside of us. Number 5, our celebrations. What we celebrate. Hallelujah. What we have joy about. Our culture is always revealed in the things we celebrate. Are y'all here? If you are in the kingdom culture, you shouldn't be celebrating Pride Month. I'm sorry, if you're in kingdom culture, you should be celebrating when your brother falls. You shouldn't be celebrating when someone is hurt. Oh, I got to go, man. I gotta go, I gotta go. Number 6, cultures is manifest. I could teach these one by one through our morality, are more conscious. Uh, 7, through our relationships, who we relate to, who's around us. I got to keep going. 8, through our ethics, our honesty, how we tell the truth about everything in every situation. We choose to be ethical. Glory to the name of God. Whether it's about money, our taxes, business, our integrity is important. How are you hearing me? And number 9, our social norms. Glory to God. Hallelujah. What's normal for us, again, as it relates to the word of God? And number 10, and I'm done because I don't have time to finish this. I'll finish this Sunday. Glory to God. Listen, number 10 is our dress. Our dress is indicative to our culture. In African culture, they dress a certain way. Oh, Oh God, in the kingdom culture, our dress has to be important. We ought to take care of ourselves. It's not good. Glory to God, it's not good. Hear me, for us— hear me, guys, I gotta get out of here. Goodness, to walk around looking raggedy. Listen, we ought to look our very best and take care of ourselves. Every single day. We ought to represent the King. We shouldn't be walking around here half naked. That's not how— that's not us, you know. We shouldn't have our private things public. Are y'all hearing me? The reality is our culture manifests in the way we dress. So it's all— no, that's religious. No, no, what's religious is you're, you're thinking that just because you look raggedy, it's okay. No, it's not okay. You better find— you ain't got to have a whole lot of money to look good. There was a scene in my life, nobody would never knew it. I was shopping at the Goodwill and I looked like a million dollars. You ain't got to say nothing because at the end of the day, you got to represent culture. This is how we create culture, man. Hallelujah. I gotta quit. Listen, my time is way gone, y'all. My time is way gone. I appreciate you guys for staying with me. Glory to God tonight. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I love y'all. I love y'all. I want to pray for you. Please don't get off. I want to pray for you. Glory to God. I'm closing my Bible because I'm tempted to keep teaching, but the Holy Ghost took over the first part of this. That message shouldn't have nowhere near been as long as it was. But tune in Sunday, I'll give you the third part of God's big idea, the third point. Glory to God, which is creating community through culture and how we're supposed to be impactful in ministry, the municipality. Oh my God. And in the marketplace. I'm gonna show you that on Sunday. But I want to pray right now that you, that you would be cognizant of the fact that there's something big in you that you've never tapped into, that you've never seen. There's something in us that is yet to be seen. And I want to prophesy over your life tonight: the way it is now— hear me, guys, hear me, hear me, don't, don't go anywhere— the way it is now, hallelujah, is not the way it's going to be. Glory to God. I'm gonna say that again. The way it is now, it's not the way it's going to be. If God said it, so shall it be. Just lift your hands right where you are. I prophesy over you that the beating of your heart and the breathing of your breath. I prophesy to you tonight that every time you feel your heartbeat and you feel the breath running through your lungs and you feel life in your body, that very life will be an indicator that there is something bigger than yourself. Waiting to resurrect and come alive in you. I want to pray that you will become the kingdom representative that God has called you to be, and that you will take your place, and that you will be a part of the movement that will reclaim, take back the earth for the kingdom of God, that you'll be a part of the movement that will create culture on Earth that says the King is alive and he's well, and his way of doing things works. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you tonight for every person that has watched this live, live and those that are experiencing it by replay. I declare tonight, God, that they will recognize that even as I pray tonight, that they will understand that there's something so huge, something so big inside of them, that that big thing would begin to emerge and come alive. And Father, we give you praise for it now in the mighty name of Jesus. I thank you that they will know that you're thinking about them and that they are on your mind, and that these thoughts are huge. These thoughts are not small in nature. I declare— glory to God, glory, glory, glory— that they will reach their full potential in you. In the name of Jesus, as I stretch forth my hand, I declare over their life that they will manifest culture, that their values will be strong, that their ethics and their integrity will be strong, and they will live a life according to the word of God. They will move in authority, they will move in power, and no weapon Thank you, Father, that is formed against them will be able to prosper. I release the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow into their life, over their children, over their family. And I declare they won't fear a thing, but they'll walk out the blessing that you have prepared for them, in Jesus' name. Amen and thanks be to God. Listen guys, I love you so much. Thank you, thank you. Lebashi anta babaya, remansi anta debo. That's right, Toya, it will happen. Glory to God, it will happen, it will happen. That's right, daughter Sharia, the way it is now is not the way it's gonna be. There's a new day upon us. Let's walk out fully who he has made us to be. Listen, tonight, guys, I want to do something.
