Uh, just want to share a few things with you really quickly. Glory to God. before we get started. Number 1, guys, the registration for Dominion in a Day is still open. I am hosting a masterclass on dominion on Saturday, June 29th, from 9 to 5. It's going to be live, it's going to be very interactive. Listen, Pastor Jasper, if you will put in the comments drmikewoods.com/domday Uh, that's short for Dominion Day. And listen, there's a lot of benefits that come with this. Glory to God. Matter of fact, let me just put on the screen, praise God, what, what you're, you're gonna get with, uh, Dominion Day. It's gonna be absolutely phenomenal. Glory to God. And I want you guys to join me. So again, on Praise God. Saturday, June 29th, from 9 to 5, we're going to have 7 hours. We'll have some breaks, but we're going to talk about some amazing topics. You can see them on the screen. You need to get registered. Some of the things I'm going to share with you about dominion and entrepreneurship, dominion and money, these things are priceless. And a matter of fact, to be very honest with you, you know, I, my corporate clients have paid me a lot of money to teach these principles to them. I want to share with you one of the most amazing things you're going to get out of this masterclass is after the masterclass, you'll get to register, you'll get to schedule 1 hour of coaching with me where we're talking about whatever you want. Leadership, business, entrepreneurship, money. If you currently have a business, I'm going to talk to you about how to structure that business, how to get that business on track. Glory to the name of God. So listen, guys, you need to get registered. We are literally about 9 days away from this event. It's going to be powerful. The great thing about it, if you join us for Dominion in a Day, a few benefits to that outside of the coaching. You'll also have access to these videos for the rest of your life. These, these things will not be posted publicly. They won't be streamed on my regular social media sites. Uh, it is for registered participants only. We still have space for you. I need you to go to the website tonight, get registered. I'm telling you, you don't want to miss this. Dominion is not Plan B, it's still God's Plan A. Y'all hear me? I need you to hear me good. Dominion is not Plan B, it's still Listen, guys, God's Plan A. It's his Plan A. And the only way we're gonna be able to dominate and operate in a level of dominion that God has called us to operate in— listen, family, we're gonna have to learn it. You got to take the position of a learner. And I'm learning every day how to become more dominant in my sphere of influence. And I want to teach you the things that God has taught me over the last 35 years I'm gonna be very transparent with my failures, my successes, and I'm gonna really open up some, some wealth of wisdom to help you scale your life to the next level. So you want to be in that masterclass. It's going to be phenomenal. You know, I figured if people could spend 7 hours binge-watching shows, you could spend 7 hours learning. Glory to the name of God. Or if you can go to the job and work 7 hours, you can make an investment in yourself with your time. And get some principle you need to begin to dominate in your area of purpose. Amen. Let's pray tonight. Father, I love you. Glory to God. Thank you that the devil is defeated and God is exalted. God, we thank you that no technical issues can stop us. Glory to the name of God. We thank you that we win and we have the victory in the mighty name of Jesus. And Father, we just decree and declare, not only for us but for those watching us, live or by replay. We declare tonight that no weapon formed against them will be able to prosper. Father, we thank you and we give you praise. We honor you. We makrograph your great name. Oh God, beside you there is no other. You rule and you super rule. Heaven is your throne and the earth is your footstool. Now Father, I thank you. Lord God, for the light, the illumination, and the intelligence tonight of the Holy Spirit. And we give you praise and glory for it now in Jesus' name. Hallelujah. Amen. And thanks be to God. Welcome everybody. Glory to God that's here. We, we're streaming, um, to several platforms tonight. Uh, we're live right now on on Instagram. Praise God. Hallelujah. We're live also on YouTube. Uh, praise the name of Jesus. We are live also, praise God, on Facebook, over 3 Facebook pages. So wherever you're joining us, we're live also on X or Twitter, whatever you call it. Uh, we're live, guys. Uh, and wherever you're watching us from, I need you to share. Glory to the name of God. Please, please, ma'am, please, sir, I need you to share. Glory to the name of God. God is so good. All right, guys, let's jump into this tonight. We thank you, God, again for this word. It's going to be powerful. What I want to do, uh, I started teaching this the last time I came before you, uh, God's Big Idea Part 1, and we kind of just discovered really that God has some big ideas for us. And every one of us— hear us, hear me, guys— we came to this planet with a big idea from heaven embedded on the inside of us that God actually wants to manifest in the earth. Lord, I love you. I feel your anointing even here tonight. Glory to the name of God. I thank you for victory, and I declare that— oh man, oh God— that we win. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I, I just keep— I keep hearing that in my spirit. We win. I need you all to just open your mouth and declare that we win, we win, we win. I don't care what it looks like, you're gonna win. And guess what? Oh, I hear that. You always win because God is on your side. And if you're losing, it's because you have not embraced him thoroughly as a teammate. Glory to God. I need you to catch on to that. Glory. It's just like you out on a basketball court got LeBron James on the team and won't pass the ball to him. See, some of your issue as a believer is you have Jesus on your team and won't put him in the game and won't let him lead and won't let him be the authority. But I'm telling you tonight, I hear prophetically, you have already won. Glory to God! I dare you declare it, type it in the comments: we win! Opa! I feel that, man. We win, we win, we win! Glory to God, we win. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. Yes, we do. We win. All right, so let me jump in this. Glory to God, we have inside of us an idea from heaven, a thought that was initiated for us to, hallelujah, be manifested in the earth before we were ever born. And it is our job, hear me, to bring that thing forth in the earth. And so last time we talked about how God's big idea for us is connected to number one, us reclaiming the earth for the Kingdom of Heaven. Now I'm not going to teach this again. That message is on my timeline, is on YouTube. Please go and watch it. I know people only have the tolerance for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Listen, if that's all you got tolerance for is a minute and 30 seconds or 1-minute reel, I probably ain't your preacher. I'm just gonna tell you right now, I'm probably not the guy you need to listen to because I got so much more in me than a minute and 30 seconds. And to really get the benefit of who God has made me, you have to spend time learning, and you're gonna have to want to learn, and you're gonna have to want to apply the things that God allows me to disseminate to you. So again, message 1, we talked about reclaiming the earth forever. You want to go back and watch that and see what that looks like. Number 2, we talked about creating a kingdom culture on earth, and I gave you about 16 ways we manifest culture. The Holy Spirit took that message over tremendously. Please go back and watch it. And tonight we're going to talk about producing a kingdom community on earth. So we create— we reclaim the earth, create a culture, and then we create a community where the world is dependent upon the kingdom of God and its people. Watch this, for survival. Oh, that is so big, because guess what? I need Father. We have been so dependent— listen to me, guys— on everybody else and what everybody else does. Oh my God, did they But hear me, hear me when I tell you, hear me, ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you, you got to depend totally on God for every single thing. And you got to be an example to the world to what that looks like. We do that through creating a community where others can see God at work in our life. What— matter of fact, write this down because you're gonna need to understand this in your life. Write it down. Write these words: God wants me to show the world him at work in my life. I'm gonna say that again. God God wants me to show the world him at work in me and in my life. It's not— it's more than just attending church and, watch this, listening to a sermon. There's a difference in hearing with a community ear versus a church ear, and, and you got to learn to listen where a community ear, so that when you receive the word, you take it out into the world. And here we go again, you become a dominator. I got to get out of here, guys. I'm, I'm gonna go. So we can't really get into that without me laying a backdrop. I gotta lay a backdrop about something that I believe is going to be very helpful. I taught a message a few weeks ago, 5 Ways God Provides please go back and watch that. I think I only got to 4 ways, uh, I'm gonna have to go back and teach the 5th way later. But at the end of the day, I gave you enough there to understand that God is interested in providing supernaturally for us. And one of the ways we learned that God provides for us was through his hand, and then another way was through the hand of others. And then another way was through our own hands. That provision— listen to me, guys— is designed to produce wealth. I'm gonna say that again. And, you know, I'm not afraid of that word. I'm not afraid of wealth. I'm not afraid of the word billion. I'm not afraid of the word million. I'm not afraid of the word money because I, I understand clearly that— and here's the point— nothing can be established without wealth. Oh man, type that in the comments if you ain't scared. I mean, if you ain't scared, I mean, if you ain't gonna let religion hold you back from this understanding, type it in the comments. Nothing can be established without wealth. I need you to— I need you to grab it, guys. Nothing can be established without wealth. Are you hearing me? Y'all don't believe it, right? So let me give you some scripture. Let me give you— even God, even God believes that. Uh, go to Deuteronomy 8:18. Deuteronomy 8:18. Somebody type that in the comments. Deuteronomy 8:18. Now watch this, guys. Hear me closely. The Bible says— and I'm reading out of the New Living Translation— the Bible declares, remember the Lord your God. Now let me just stop right there. First of all, your mind has two functions: memory and imagination. Your memory is used to replay the past. I'll come back to that. Your imagination is used to pre-play the future. Ah, yeah, I'm gonna say it again. Your memory replays the past, it replays history. Your imagination pre-plays destiny. There is an astute connection between destiny and history. Or memory and imagination. See, you really cannot manifest what God has inside of you or walk it out. I told someone this today: until you understand the power of your history, where you come from, your testimony, your— watch this— your history in private with God, Oh, we, we got a lot of people that want public recognition, public honor. They want to be popular. Oh my God, they want to get clicks and likes for all the wrong reasons. But the reality is they want that without history with God. You know, the more I watch people do what they do and I see them trying to be other people I see them, glory to God, not really aligning where they come from with where they're trying to go, but they change like the water. And listen, destiny is an established destination— watch this— that's birthed from an inevitable course of events. So my history and what I've been through are the events that bring destiny forward in my life. So I gotta use my memory according to Deuteronomy 8:18 to remember God. He says, remember the Lord your God. Now this is very personal. This is not the Lord our God. This is not the Lord the bishop's God, the apostle's God, the deacon's God. He says, remember the Lord your God. Ooh, ooh, ooh, my God, tonight. Ooh, he says, remember the history you have with God. Remember how he brought you out. Remember how you were bound on your way to hell, enjoying the trip like most of us was, and it was God that brought you out. Listen, you have a testimony. You have some history that reveals to you that God is real. I'm telling you, even you religious folk, the most religious person that's hearing me tonight You have a history with God. Listen, I need you to hear me. That is a defining— listen, yes, God, today that is indeed a defining attribute of where you're going. So you need to check your history, you need to check your testimony. He says, remember the Lord your God Watch this. He is the one that gives you power to get wealth and to be successful. And watch this, why? In order to fulfill the covenant he confirmed to your ancestors with an oath. So God has already made a deal with history. Oh God, that he's going to use you and I in this generation to have good success. Oh my God, to get well so that the earth can know and it can be proved— watch this— through his supernatural blessing to us that he is God. Oh my God, today. Oh my God. Yeah, God help us to walk this out. Help us to understand that this is not just a figment, Father, of our imagination. I'm praying for you now, praying for myself now. Help us to understand that it really is your desire for us to get well and be successful, that we're not just supposed to be listlessly lollygagging through life. In the name of Jesus, speaking in tongues, hook 'em aside, coming in a Hummer, leaving in a Lexus. And never— hear me— experience the blessing of God that makes rich and adds no sorrow. Thank you, Jesus. God says nothing can be established without wealth. We can't take the earth back for the kingdom without wealth. I'm sorry to announce— I thank God for the anointing, we need it. We need the anointing to get well. We need the anointing to seize the wealth transfer. But after we get anointed, we need to understand— oh boy, oh boy— that God gives us the power to get well so we can establish covenant on earth. So we got to use that power. I'm going to talk about what that is in a moment. He said gives us power to get well. So let's just go there. The English word power in the text, it translates from the Hebrew word koach, K-O-A-C-H, koach. And this word means, watch this, divine power, divine ability, substance, wealth, or divine strength. Listen to this: to lay hold of something or obtain something— watch this— whoo— that's beyond our natural ability or strength to obtain. I'm gonna read that again. So the word power in this text is koach in Hebrew, and it is divine power Divine power, divine ability. Come on, substance, wealth. Good God Almighty. Divine strength to lay hold of something or bring forth something that's beyond our natural ability to do so. You are limited to what you can do on your own. Can I tell you tonight, ladies and gentlemen, you need God. And you came to this planet packing something that God wants to respond to. Hear me well. So you can take the earth back for the kingdom, so that, glory to God, we can create kingdom culture, so we can create a kingdom community. Uh, there's another place in Isaiah 40:29, Isaiah uses this word koach again. I want to read this, glory to God. He says he gives power, koach, which is again divine power, divine ability, substance, wealth, divine strength to lay hold of something you have no natural ability to lay hold of. So he gives this to the pain. Oh my God, if somebody is listening to me tonight and you're weak, you feel like giving up, you feel like throwing in the towel— my God, tonight, glory to God, God says he's brought koak, koak, koak to you tonight, and he's come to infuse you with supernatural power, supernatural ability. Glory to God! With supernatural substance. Oh my God, today, with supernatural strength, supernatural favor to accomplish what you need to accomplish. See, you know why you're worn out? Because you've been leaning in on yourself and you've been trying to get this done yourself. You've been depending too much on you and you've been counting your little coins. Listen, you ain't got enough to do what God wants you to do. So you got to depend on it. I'm gonna say it again, you ain't got enough. I'm even talking to the millionaires that watch me, glory to the name of God. I'm talking to the athletes and celebrities that watch my videos and listen to my podcast. Let me tell you something, you don't have enough. Oh, I feel like running up out of here tonight. You don't have enough. What's in you is much bigger than your degree, is much bigger than your money. It's much bigger than your business. Oh, it's much bigger than your celebrity status. You need God because what— that's just a start and a drop in the bucket to what we got to do. Because you know what? We got to take over. So what God has done, he's graced many with the ability to get a good head start and make millions. Glory to God. But he did that so that we can pull our resources together and take over. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Oh, I gotta go, I don't have time, I don't have time. Oh, he says he gives co-op to the faint and weary, and to him who has no strength, he increases strength, causing it to multiply. Listen to this. And making it about. So that says, I'm gonna increase your strength, your ability, your power, your substance, your wealth, and then I'm gonna multiply it and cause you to abound and live— hear me, oh my God— tonight in overflow. I got to get out of here. So God gives this power, this divine ability, this substance, wealth, or strength for those that are weak. And if you're weak in your finances, if you're weak in passion, you're frustrated about life, I want to revive your spirit tonight and let you know there is more. I want to challenge you to get off your seat of do-nothing, get up off of your gluteus maximus and accept the power of the living God. And begin to take over in the fear and the realm that you were created to dominate in. Oh my God, today, listen. So when you're exhausted, according to this text, you're weary. The word weary there is a Hebrew word that means inability to produce results. So when you get to a point in your life where you're not producing results— I've been there, man. I can't tell you how many times I've been there. But every time I was there is because I had abandoned the reality of who was on my team. Come on, for real. I forgot who was running with me— Jesus. I can't lose when he's on my team. And every time I realize He's on my team and I trust him, and I lean not to my own understanding, but in all my ways I acknowledge him. Hear me, hear me, family, whether you're on YouTube, X, Instagram, 3 Facebook pages tonight, wherever you're listening, podcast listeners, hear me. I need you to grab this. Come on, come on, church. When Jesus is on your side, you never lose. I gotta reiterate that. You always win. Oh God. So you gotta wait on him. You gotta trust him. You gotta lean into who he says you are and not allow your circumstances circumstances to define you. And by circumstances, I mean the conditions of your life. So if your salary is $3,000 a month, it's your fault if you're saved and you've allowed that $3,000 a month to define you. Oh, okay. Ah, ah, you gotta stop allowing what the hand you've been dealt to define you and magnify your condition by putting God in position. When you put God in position, you maximize the condition to your advantage because God can't lose. Oh my God, today We learned— watch this— in 5 Ways God Provides. And I'm almost done, I'm almost done, guys, for real. I'm almost done, I'm almost done. I feel Jesus in here, man. I feel Jesus for real. I feel Jesus. Good God Almighty. Oh boy, I hope y'all getting this tonight. Good God. And if you just joined us please share. Don't scroll, share. You need this. Glory to God. I know you think you know it. Glory to God. And even if you know it, which you probably don't, you need to hear it and apply it. Come on. Oh, yeah, you too, Pastor, Apostle, Preacher. I'm talking to you too. I'm talking again. I'm talking to my friends who have mega bank accounts. I need you to understand something: you can't lose with God. You need it. Watch this. God provides when he aligns himself with the work of our hands. Watch this. And we gain wealth through that work. We gotta make sure that we're doing the right work. The Bible says, here it is guys, that God— as a matter of fact, Joshua, he said in Joshua, I think it's 1:17, he says, or 1:7, one of the— one of the other, he said, meditate in the word both day and night, observe to do the word, be strong and very courageous. And then he says, if you do this, verse 18 or verse 8, one He says, you shall deal wisely. Here it is. And you shall have good success. Oh, that's, that's, that's a, that's a such thing as a bad success. Let me, let me hit this real quick because I'm going where I need to go with this, creating a community. We can't create a real community for the kingdom When we got people out here creating pseudo-success because they're working on things that are designed to benefit them and them alone. See, whenever God gives you destiny and purpose and he, he deposits the plan which he has in all of us, it's for the betterment of mankind, it's for the betterment of the planet. It ain't about you. I get so sick sometimes. I said, and listen to preachers, even the ones that I admire. I came in tonight, my wife was sitting up, she was listening to the word, preaching was on TV, and just listen to some of the stuff, you know, when people get stuck on themselves, that's sickening. It's not about you, it's not about your church. Oh my God, it's about him. Oh Jesus. And the moment you start believing that your work is about you— you are designed to empower others, to make the world better. Oh my God, it's not about me, it's not about you, it's about him, it's about humanity, it's about what God has entrusted in our life to make humanity a better place. Oh boy, are y'all with me, man? I gotta get out of here. I'm almost done for real. How much time I got, Gloria? I got about 19 minutes. I got to get out of here for real. I got to get to Korean Community. But you got to work with your hands. God wants to bless the work of your hands. He wants you to have good success, not bad success. Good is banah in Hebrew, which means profit. Profitable. Glory to God. Watch this— profitable by assignment. So that means good success is success that was assigned. You're really not successful and you're not having good success unless you're doing the thing that God put in you to do. Why, mercy. Good God, I always think about my wife and, and Minister Tanya Good God, these women can cook, okay? My wife can bake and cook. Tell you, excellent cook, caterer, both of them. And, and as they work in business with their hands and they continue to do it, God's going to continue to bless the works of their hands. I think about my son Pastor Jasper with the businesses he has. I mean, you got to work the work of your hands. He's working what's in him, the gifts that God has given him. You got to find your niche. You got to find what God put in you, and that he can't bless it if you don't work it, if you don't do it. Let's go to Psalm 90:17. I'm reading out of Amplified. The Bible says, and let the beauty and delightfulness and favor of the Lord our God be upon us, confirm and establish the work of our hands. Yes, the work of our hands, confirm and establish it. So the beauty, beauty and the delight of God and the favor of God is upon us when we work with our hands, the work that he gave us. Not the work you're doing just because you want to be seen, because you want to be like somebody else, because you want to be Bishop Jakes, or you, or you want to be whoever, man. The reality is you, you got to find your identity. And be you. I posted something earlier about identity crisis in the church. It's a problem. It's a lot of identity theft going on. People who have stolen the idea of others, trying to do life like them, do kingdom work like them, and are oblivious to who they are. That cost is too great. Being fake and being somebody else, the cost of that is far too great, guys. Are y'all hearing this, man? Good God Almighty, Lord, I love you. Lord, I praise you. Good God, God, I glorify your great name. He says, let this— let the Lord confirm and establish So when you start working with it, God validates it. Okay, yeah, that's me, that's mine. He confirms it. He makes you clear that that's what you're supposed to be doing. Hear me. And then secondly, listen, he establishes it himself. Oh my God, tonight, are y'all with me? God says, I'm gonna make this thing successful. I just need you to be obedient and move in faith and do it. Why am I establishing it? So you could create community. Glory to God. Because through supernatural wealth, favor, and provision, we can effectively— and I'm almost done establish community on Earth. So how do we produce Kingdom community in the Earth? Well, there are 3 dimensions to this. How much time I got? Oh my God, I got about 15 minutes. I'm gonna do this in 15 minutes, guys. 15. Ah, we, we produce a community Watch this. First of all, through ministry that speaks kingdom and not religion. Oh my God. Uh, yeah, yeah. So we have to be impactful in ministry in a way that our language is that of the kingdom and not religion. And you know, my late mentor and spiritual father, Dr. Miles Monroe, he talked a lot about the kingdom. But you know, a lot of stuff he released, I watched mega preachers steal it, preach it, teach it, and just never came out the same way because I knew the core, I knew the source. Of what he was trying to communicate. Back to what I was saying, they were mimicking something because it was so revolutionary. So they started teaching kingdom, talking about kingdom, and not really displaying the kingdom at the level that he was talking about. Watch this, they tried to plug a kingdom message into a religious culture And what it did was, because the message is powerful, it only magnified that religious culture. Because most of these men began to build kingdoms to themselves and not literally create community. I can name a few that actually did create community, and I won't get into that tonight. I won't call any names, bad or good. Because if I start calling the good ones, I got to tell you about the, the bad ones that's out there. The reality is I would hear him speak things on calls and conferences that were only designed for us that the general public didn't hear. And the reality is it was always about global influence, global impact. Never about a local church. My church this, my church that. You got it all wrong, brother, sister. This thing is not about the religious jargon. It's about superimposing the principle of Kingdom on the world in a way— watch this— that they cannot resist it. That has to be our agenda in ministry, not to have a bunch of religious jargon that doesn't propel, that doesn't catapult, nor push people into new dimensions. Oh God, we need ministry and not religion. We need ministry— watch this, hear me, guys— that understands. And I'm not gonna— I can teach this by itself. I feel the Holy Ghost pushing me into this series anyway, so I'm gonna hit it right here and I'm gonna keep going. In order to have ministry that majors on Kingdom and not— here we go— and not religion, we got to understand the mechanics of mantles. A mantle is actually not an impartation. So many people describe a mantle as an impartation, and while both are important— hear me, family— Hear me, both are important. There's a vast difference between a mantle and an importation. A mantle— watch this— carry a greater level of custodial responsibility. When somebody gets a mantle My spiritual father, and I love him, Apostle Stephen A. Davis, he has the kingdom mantle of Bishop Eddie Long. Now, how he is the custodian of that mantle is absolutely phenomenal because he understands it's not his— hear me— purpose to be Eddie Long. It's his purpose to take the mantle of Eddie Long and through allowing God to use him to cause that mantle to grow and become everything it was supposed to become, because he is the custodian of the mantle that was left upon him. Oh my God. Um, let me give you an example. If you are a parent, uh, my, my son Pastor Jasper, uh, was talking to me about my godson Christopher and his phase he's going through, uh, about not sleeping. Hear me, he, he, you know, he, he goes to bed early, but he wants to get up at 2 AM, 3 AM and chill out, and he wants everybody else to get up with him. Master was telling me about that. I said, well, look, you gotta make him aware that you are the boss or you are the custodian. So he needs to be made aware that everybody sleep at 3 and so should you be, because if that behavior becomes acceptable, he will continue to perpetrate that behavior. Oh my God. But as a responsible custodian, it's the parent's duty to make sure that we control the narrative of what our children do, you know. So I already know the kind of man Pastor Jasper is. He's going to— he's probably already beginning to take leadership to— because he wants to sleep. He doesn't want to be up and chill out with Christopher at 3 AM. And he's got to get up to work so he can feed this child. So at the end of the day, the reality is when you are the custodian of a mantle, you take pride in it because you know one day, glory to the name of God, I have to pass this mantle on to another or to groups of people. And I got to be able to show them how to be good custodians. Watch this. Good God, I need y'all to help me. The word mantle— and I gotta go— there's an— it's interchangeable with the word vine. There's a Hebrew word called adereth. Adereth is the Hebrew word for mantle, and it means a large vine, a garment of glory, or a robe even. This is where we get when the anointing flows from the head down, that is a, a mantle being released. But the adarif deals with the idea that when, as long as you're connected to the vine, the DNA of the vine— hear me, and I'm gonna move to the next point because I got 7 minutes. My God, today The DNA of the vine is constantly feeding me what I need. It's kind of like when a baby's in a mother's womb, she's connected to— the baby's connected to what is called the umbilical cord. And whatever the mom eats, the baby consumes because he is connected to the life vine. That's another word for umbilical cord. And another term would be the Adderall syndrome. That is what is happening when the mother is feeding the baby through her consumption. Jesus is divine. This is what I want to get. We are the branches. Any branch in me that bear not fruit, he take it away. So God is saying, I need you to get on the vine. Are y'all catching this? Are y'all catching this tonight? God says, get in the vine, stay on the vine, and you could create a community of vines that's constantly overtaking the world. That's what ministry has to be— has to be about releasing DNA in the spirit that causes people to show up in the world and be an extension of the vine of the kingdom, not extension of the church name or the preacher name. See, that's where we missed it. We trying to build a church, and that's not— and we're building kingdoms, Charles. I see these young millennial preachers, they're doing it, man. They're building kings to themselves. They're growing, starting campuses, and, and it ain't real church growth, it's membership transfer, because nobody's getting saved. Okay, I'm gonna leave that alone. I said I'm gonna mess with people tonight. Do your thing, do your thing. Okay, but what I'm saying is, glory to God, We gotta become experts at staying on the vine so that the DNA of our assignment gets so inebriated in us that we pass it on to those connected to us. So they go and show up in the world and pass the principle of the kingdom to the world, and the world sees the kingdom at work in those of us that shows up. We need ministry that speaks kingdom and not religion. Somebody said, Apostle, that was a lot for that point. I know it, but listen, I just need you to grab that. Number 2, number 2, we need a marketplace dominance. Hear me, we need a marketplace dominance. That says we are in control. So we need to be present in ministry, but we need to dominate in the marketplace. What does that mean? That means the church is designed— oh, we— to impact— oh my God— the commercial dimensions of the earth. See, when we show up in ministry, then marketplace, and then the last one I'm going to give you is municipality— when we create communities in these three areas, what is happening? The families of the earth are being restored. Go to Revelation 11:15. I just need you to go there. Yeah, I, I— it ain't even in my notes. Let's just go there. Revelation 11:15. Glory to God. Yeah, shantobaya. God, I love you. I'm trying to— I got 5 minutes, guys. I got 5 minutes. Y'all stay with me, please. I got 5 minutes. Revelation, last book of the Bible, Michael. Uh, 11:15. Glory to God. I hope y'all learning something tonight. I hope you're growing. I hope this word is getting in your spirit. Watch this. Revelation 11:15 says, and the seventh angel sounded, and there were great voices in heaven saying— watch this— the kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign forever. All I have time to do with this verse tonight is this, is that the blending of the kingdoms of this world and the kingdoms of our God requires— watch this— natural and spiritual elements. And that this prophetic promise— Revelation is a book of prophecy— is not for when Jesus comes. These things are actually to occur before his return. And the only— oh, Boy, God, I feel like running. Jesus the Christ. That's why we got to show up in the world and start advancing the kingdom and in the marketplace, which is the commercial dimension of the kingdom. Ministry is the ecclesiastical dimension where we raise up priests and intercessors that show up in the world. Marketplace is the commercial dimension so that all families of the earth will be restored in function and purpose. See, Jesus is not coming to set up a kingdom. He ain't gonna come down here and start building up stuff and setting stuff— oh no, he's coming to sit on the throne of a kingdom already established. This is the whole purpose of advancing the kingdom into the world. He's going to come down, the kingdom's going to come down, and, and What's going to be in operation are the things we— I don't have time, but this whole book of Revelation is about eschatology. It's the prophecy of the end. This is why what we're building now, we're building for eternity. Ah, oh boy, oh boy. Okay, okay, okay. So we, we restore community, kingdom community. In the earth through ministry, which is the ecclesiastical dimension, through the marketplace, which is the commercial dimension, but also watch this, through municipality, which is the governmental dimension. The church has to develop and maintain strong relationships with entrepreneurs in the marketplace. We gotta be connected. We gotta deploy entrepreneurs. We gotta train entrepreneurs. We gotta make sure that our people are exposed to the right knowledge to be effective entrepreneurs and keep that covenant open. But thirdly, we need strong relationship with municipality. We cannot be a restricted church that all we do is have praise breaks. Oh my God. Oh my God. I feel like running. Now all we do is scream and holler, and we get people hyped up and entertain them to get back, but we never really empower them. Come on, to get to that next level, we're empowering ourselves. Okay, I'm leaving people alone, leaving people alone. I'm not bothering folk, but what I'm saying, what I am saying We need to focus on the fact that relationships are extremely important to advancing the kingdom and creating community. Ecclesiastes 4:12— I'm about to close— says a threefold cord is not quickly broken. If strong relationships through ministry, marketplace, municipality— which means government, we need to have a foot in the government That's why we got— we need anointed politicians, Holy Ghost-filled mayors. Hear me, we need Holy Ghost-filled presidents. Okay, thank God for Black presidents, Black— we need some Holy Ghost-filled politicians who have kingdom mindsets and not religion mindsets. And when they sit in that seat of governing They govern through the eyes of God. I ain't got time, for real. But we can't be restricted to think everybody's a preacher. Everybody's not a preacher. I need to say that. I've been preaching full-time for 35 years, man. I've been preaching as a preacher ordained for almost 40 years, 38 years. The reality— no, I'm sorry. Longer than that, 40 years of preaching, 35 years full-time. The reality is everybody ain't a preacher. And I know society today makes it easy for everybody to say they are preaching, but there, there's so many other kingdom things that we can be called to. And I think some of these folk need to go back and pray again. Because some of these folks— I said I wasn't gonna mess with people, gee, okay, I'm not. But at the end of the day, there are those who literally are gifted and not anointed. Can I share with you tonight that noise is not the anointing, neither is intelligence. The anointing comes through a smearing, a superimposition of God on you and in you, that God takes control of your gift and your talent for his benefit. And it is often born in pain. Lord have mercy. I need to go, I need to go, I need to go. A kingdom. And I'm done. Always— I'm closing my iPad— always projects its efforts on people. It's always— and I started with this and I'm ending with it— it's all about humanity. It's all about superimposing our community. This is God's big idea, to take the earth back for his glory and for the kingdom, to create culture in the earth where the kingdom is not taboo but a go-to. I'll say that again. I feel like Running Man. It's not taboo but a go-to, that people understand that the kingdom is a real resource for mental health is a real resource for wealth and healing and deliverance. We got systems in the kingdom. We got an economic system. We got a— oh my God— a healthcare system. But if you don't believe God can heal you, how you expect someone in the culture to believe that? We gotta create culture and we gotta exalt our history. For the whole world to see. Let's pray tonight. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for this time. I sincerely do, God. I don't take it for granted that you've given me the opportunity to teach your word. Father, I'm asking you tonight, in the name of Jesus, to help me connect with those that have watched us live or by replay. And I pray, God, that we will embrace your big idea. It's not our idea, it's your idea. And so God, we thank you for including us in this process, God, to take the earth back for the kingdom of heaven, to return to us what's rightfully ours. Father, I thank you that you called us to be a part of this idea of creating culture through our ideas, our behaviors, uh, oh my God, our testimony. And God, to create community through our impact in ministry, the marketplace, and municipality. Father, even as we're in the election year, I'm praying, God, that you will send forth anointed candidates from the president on down. And you will help those candidates to find favor with the democratic system so that they can rule with your government in their belly and rule according to your agenda, from the presidency through Congress, through mayors, through governors, through the House of Representatives, through state-level senators. God, let us be present in the municipal ability. And I praise you for it now, in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. And thanks be to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. You ought to praise him.
