HEIRS OF A KING | DR MIKE WOODS SR | MORTON MS (12 APR 23)

Dr. Mike Woods Sr presents a reinterpretation of Jesus rising immediately after his passion and spending 40 days teaching before burial. He frames believers as heirs of God with authority to dominate economy, media, politics, and education, emphasizing the Holy Spirit as kingdom governor and wealth as proof of divine favor.
Chapters
We're going to get into this tonight. The Bible says— I said this last night, I'll say it again— that Jesus showed himself After his passion, which means after he had resurrected— glory to God— for 40 days. Watch this. Now I want you— I want to introduce you to a concept that in that particular passage that most people have overlooked. His passion was his crucifixion. He was crucified. And that was the passion of Christ, crucifixion, the struggle with getting to the cross. So I really want to submit to you that after his passion— watch this— he showed himself alive teaching the kingdom for 40 days with infallible proof. So Jesus really was resurrected before he actually was buried. You just got to wrap your head around the fact that his passion was death. Come on, don't— his passion was death. I know it's going to kill your religious mind because it said after his passion, it say after his burial. That's why when they went to the tomb, he wasn't there. Glory. He was already gone. He— the Bible didn't say that just because they rolled back the stone, he was rose at that time. Matter of fact, the Bible never even gave you a time frame of when he got up. But the old preacher, because he didn't study, wanted to put him in the grave on Friday and get him up on Sunday. And because they heard the old preachers from the past say that, everybody has adopted that as right. Because they don't study the Bible. Yeah, he wasn't there when he got there, but he had already got up after his passion and showed himself for 40 days with infallible proof. Hallelujah. So the Bible said in those 40 days— watch this— he taught the things that pertain to the kingdom. See, he didn't just go find the disciples and show them the holes in his hands. He was teaching for 40 days. That was catching up in them 40 days. When you get to that part of the story, he was healing people. He was, he was showing infallible proof still that he had risen. Ah God, come on. Okay, all right, yeah, but he was already up. He, he, because guess what? When you die, you're already going. When you, when you're laying in front of the church in the casket, yeah, you, you ain't in there. Wow, your spirit has left your body. Yes, your body is going back to the dirt where it came. Jesus had no more use for a dead body. Y'all think he was— his spirit was laying around in a dead body in Joseph's tomb? No, Jesus was on earth on assignment. He had already picked up his glorified body and was running around 40 days doing revivals. Okay, all right, so that's, that's what we're doing, um, these next 40 days. We're preaching. I'm gonna be— this is kicking this off. So then after we leave here, we're gonna be preaching our own church in Atlanta. We're gonna be coming here on Saturdays and preaching in Jackson, but every day online we're gonna be preaching and praying and fasting. Because I want to see infallible proof in the lives of God's people. Amen. For these next 40 days. So tonight, I told last night about the resurrected kingdom. I want to just continue in there, and I gave you 3 elements of a kingdom that I think I need to kind of review before I get into this. First of all, the first element was Who remembers it? Okay, it was the king. All right, can't have a kingdom without a king. All right, so matter of fact, the word suggests the kingdom. So you gotta— it's the substratum of kingdom. So anytime we're talking about kingdom, you cannot separate the kingdom from the king. And what most people have done, they're building kingdoms to themselves and not building a kingdom for the King. I told you last night that God's desire is to rule the seen world from the unseen world through you and I. So he advances the kingdom through us. So when God moves in, when you get saved, filled with the Holy Ghost, which— and I'll probably teach about this later this week, because you got to understand that the kingdom has to have a governor or a monitor that ensures that you're duplicating on earth what's in heaven. That monitor is the Holy Ghost. He's the governor of the kingdom. That's good. He makes sure that we are multiplying on earth what's in heaven, that we are manifesting on earth what's in heaven. So the Holy Ghost again wasn't just for tongues, come on, it was for kingdom advancement. And yeah, we'll talk about it this week, but the King is important to the whole process. So you got to have a relationship with the King. When he moves in, he doesn't go anywhere without bringing his kingdom with him. Ah, so we learned last night that the other element of the kingdom was the domain. You can't be a king without territory. Come on, a king owns territory. Yes, a king has authority in a territory, and in that territory the king communicates his values. His personality, his laws, his ways. All right, so every kingdom— say that with me— say, every kingdom has a king. I'm gonna be through, I'm just signing along, I promise you. Say, every kingdom has a domain. And thirdly, we learned last night that every kingdom— watch this— has citizens. Those are the people who carry out the laws and the decrees and the desire of the king. Listen, you do not get to make up your own rules in a kingdom. Come on! When the king declares something, guess what? It's law. When the king decrees a thing out of his mouth, that's law. And so I want to introduce you to another piece of the kingdom because it's going to be very important to this. As a matter of fact, Citizenship. And this next piece is going to be very important to what I'm going to teach tonight. This other element is the Constitution. The Constitution is the written law that governs the citizens of the kingdom. Watch this. In the United States, our Constitution says, 'We the people.' And then there's a whole bunch of stuff in that Constitution that this nation was built on. Here's the problem with the Constitution of the United States. The Constitution of the United States has been amended several times, and they are— because really, the United States was built on the Bible, the Ten Commandments. Our founding fathers were men that believed in the scriptures, but as this nation has progressed We've gone from being built on the Ten Commandments and basing our lives on the styles of Paris, and we go after what Europe is wearing and doing, and then we build it on the standards of Hollywood. If Hollywood presents to us it's okay to be lesbian, then we start embracing it's okay to be lesbian. If Hollywood says it's okay to be homosexual, we start embracing it's okay to be homosexual. I ain't forget the hoes. If, if, if— glory to the name of God— if the Bible says, glory to God, that it's wrong to be homosexual, lesbian, or a hoe, then it's wrong to be all three. I didn't see— because homosexuals and lesbians think they got some rights hoes don't have. How is it okay for you to be gay? Glory to God, and a hoe can't be a hoe. Come on, Father! Ah, shalom dekosi. And the homosexuals quickly say, y'all don't love me, y'all gotta accept me. The devil is a liar. No, what we gotta do is live by the Constitution. The Constitution doesn't change. Come on. You got some crazy people out here like Carlton Pearson and all these I think Carter was one of my favorite people back in the day, but now this spirit has got on him where they're talking about inclusion and that we need to write a new Bible and talk about there's error in the scripture. The devil is a liar. This Constitution is never gonna fail. Can I tell you something? Prophecying is going to cease. You can get all the words you want from a prophet. Glory to the name of God. But you know what? If the prophet never prophesies to me, glory to your name, I'm not living to get a word from a prophet. All I got to do is open my Bible and find out what God has promised me. Say that with me. Say, the word will never fail. The word will never fail. So whatever's in the book is right. Come on, Apostle. These idiots have even decided— glory to the name of God. I'm sorry, I'll take all the flack for that, Apostle. I know I'm on your live talk, crazy. Listen, but at the end of the day, The reality is these— and the Bible said they be ignorant. The Bible says a fool that says there's no God, so they're idiots. Glory to the name of God. So the reality is, if you're telling me there's no hell and there's no devil, you can't believe there's a God, because the only thing that gives God context is evil. So God allows the devil to exist because it gives him context as God. Why do we need a card if we ain't got no help? Okay, see, that's why you gotta have the Constitution. So tonight, as we expand our mindset, because the purpose of this teaching tonight really is I want to, one, renew our minds so that we can see ourselves as God sees us. Touch yourself and say, I want to see myself. Come on, say it. I want to see myself the way God sees me. Y'all online watching, type it in the comments. I want to see myself the way God sees me. So that's what we want to do. What I want to— I want you to see yourself the way he looks at you as a citizen. Second thing tonight I really want to accomplish I want you to discover what's included in your constitutional inheritance. Say, I have an inheritance. Come on, you don't believe it. Say it. Come on, say, I have an inheritance with the Father. Listen, your mom and daddy might not leave you nothing, but I'm telling you right now, you got an inheritance with the Father. And you— and he's already died and resurrected for it. See, you ain't got to wait to get this inheritance. You just got to step into your place as a citizen who's aligned with the Constitution. Amen. Oh Lord. And I want to show you how to expand a life of resurrection to the point where you're experiencing resurrected life in every area. Let me tell you something, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, or Easter as they call it— I don't usually use the word Easter because Easter is a pagan holiday, and we don't have time to teach about Easter, that's another message for another day. But the end of the day, when you get resurrected life, once, just like Jesus, once his body died, he resurrected. So once you die to sin and your life resurrected and you begin to know him, as we said last night, in the power of his resurrection— I'm not talking about religion, I'm talking about knowing him for real— you have to expand your life into this reality. Hallelujah! Where you are moved Or— I— Lord, I was struggling with that word last night. Glory to God. Or we just gonna stick with morph, right? Glory to God. But you are morphed into this real reality of living a resurrected life. Say that with me. Say, I'm called. I'm called. To live a resurrected life. To live a resurrected life. And part of living a resurrected life is understanding your kingdom heritage. So let's go to Galatians 4:7. Let's go there. Let's just— let's get in this book, man. Nothing— Galatians 4:7. I'm gonna teach tonight. Can I just do that? Yes, sir. Y'all don't get mad if I don't scream, right? Okay, I can holler anytime, but I'm not gonna do it. I'm gonna try not to do it. Approach. I might get happy, but if I don't, I'm gonna be grateful if the Lord just let me stay right here like this in this tall place. 4:7, the Bible says this, watch this. It says, wherefore thou art no more a servant. Say servant. The word servant there in the Greek is doulos, which means you're no longer a bond slave. Say, I'm no longer a slave. Say, I'm no longer under the curse. So when you get saved, you're not bound to the systems and structures and the ways of this life anymore. You're now free to live in another realm. Say again. Say, I'm no longer a slave. No longer a slave. He says Watch this. But a son— touch yourself and say, I'm a son. I'm a son. Come on, male and female, say it. Say, I'm a son. That's not— there's no gender in the Holy Spirit. We're all God's family. The word son here is sperma in Greek, which means to set life in motion. So you are born again to set life in motion to release the life of the kingdom as it relates to your purpose, your design, God's plan for you. You have a spermatic assignment that is supposed to be sown in the earth, and the earth is supposed to yield forth fruit and give birth— glory to the name of God— to a kingdom manifested assignment as you live out your life as a that's good, Apostle. But you will never plant that spermatic word in the earth if, glory to the name, you don't accept the reality that your life was designed to release something. I told you last night that this building— watch this— or any building structure where we congregate to have church— watch this— is really not the church. The word church is from the Greek word ecclesia. It means called out ones. Watch this, who are set forth on assignment to— watch this— with force annihilate the kingdom of darkness. How do I annihilate the kingdom of darkness? I have to release out of my life a spermatic life that is sowing a seed as a son that pushes with force the kingdom of darkness out of place. Watch this. God, the Holy Spirit, start ministering to us last night about the mantle of Mishra. I may just teach on that this week before we leave, but the reality is that mantle is a mantle designed to rule and to release authority. Watch this. And push away the authorities that be. So in every kingdom of the earth, whether it's the economic kingdom, the entertainment kingdom, the political kingdom, the education kingdom, the media kingdom. Glory be to God. The military kingdom. Whatever kingdom that has rule and authority, when we begin to release our life as spermatic authority in those kingdoms, we push them out of the high place. Yes, because watch this, in every kingdom of the world, even the kingdom of religion because that's a kingdom too. You have dark rulers who are ruling— watch this— and they should not be. Come on, we should be in authority in everyone. But you know, everybody want this right here, everybody wants a mic. Nobody understands that we come in here to be trained to go out there and release a Spermatic life that will give birth to a kingdom assignment. Y'all got that? Yes. He said, but you are no more a servant but a son. And if a son— watch this— if you're really a spermatic expression of heaven's life and assignment for your life, watch this, he says, now you are heir. Ah, here we go. Of God through Christ. So I didn't just get saved to shout. Come on here. I didn't get saved just to worship and cry and pray. I got saved so I can receive my inheritance. Do y'all know how big that is? Yes. Come on, to be an heir of God. So your salvation through Christ makes you an heir of God. We're talking about the King of Kings. We're talking about the Lord of Lords. We're talking about the same dude that created the heavens and the earth. The same guy that said, let there be light, and there was light. Come on, pop! Which means you inherit his creative authority. The Bible said the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. The Bible calls him the King of the Earth. So if I'm an heir of God, if he got cattle on a thousand hills, he don't need no cattle. That cattle is for us. Come on, are y'all hearing this? God don't need no cows. He don't need money. He don't need gold, but he has it for us. So I didn't get saved just to go through this religious process of not having what I need from God. Say, I'm an heir of God. You listen, if you say the moment you gave your life to Christ, you became an heir of God. Hallelujah. I want you to believe that. I believe. You may have never got invited to an office because you got a call from an attorney to read a will. I don't know, I haven't. And, you know, thanks be to God my parents are still here. So, you know, and I pray they stay as long as they can. Glory to the name of God. And I'm not looking for them to die, but in my family history, I don't know if nobody ever got a call to come to the attorney's office for the will to be read. I know for a fact I'm gonna change that. When I'm gone, my children, they gonna be real happy. I can't even tell them what I got because they might kill me. Lord, am I putting it out on both of us? Glory to God. Reality is, honestly, most of the time in families as we know it, they don't leave a will, they leave a bill. Come on. And that's why you see people all on Facebook trying to do a co-fund me. That's craziness. When you are heir of God, you should not have them kind of issues. I'm just gonna— again, I want to renew your mind to what's available. That's right. And I can't teach this and preach this because I'm the kind of preacher, I can't preach it until I become one. That's why. So these things are happening in my life so I can teach you about how to walk out your inheritance and be an heir of God. Yes, I tell people, people ask me all the time, well, how is it that you can prophesy? I'm an heir of God, cuz he sees everything. How do you lay hands on the sick and they recover? I'm an heir of God. How you can buy things without getting a mortgage or buy a car without getting a loan? I'm a heir of God. Because at the end of the day, he owns everything. And once you accept that, these things start manifesting in your life. Touch yourself, say, I'm a heir of God. Come on, say it again. Say, I'm a heir of God. Okay, all right, all right, all right. Let me just go back and read verse 4. How, how do we get— I'm gonna read that because I want to show you how we got to verse 7. The Bible said, but when the fullness of time was come, I'm still in Galatians 4. He says God sent forth his Son made of a woman, made under the law. So he had to prove to us through bringing Jesus in as God incarnate, making him human, that a human can actually walk on this earth and operate as an heir of God. See, if Jesus would have just came to earth divine— come on, come on— and did all the stuff he did Yeah, then it wouldn't have been significant to us. But Jesus was God incarnate. He was God and man. So he had to bring him the same way we came, and he had to prove to us that you can defeat sin, you can defeat poverty, you can defeat curses, you can defeat evil. Are y'all hearing this? And you can walk in the miraculous. Jesus lived under whole set of principles that people didn't understand. Jesus didn't pay his taxes. He didn't go— listen to this— Jesus operated from the Constitution. He didn't operate under kingdom, under earthly law. He operated under kingdom law. You know why? Because every time they said something, what are you doing, Jesus said, I'm doing what I see my Father do. I'm about my Father's business. He was watching the Father's movement so he can produce his inheritance. What we do when we need to pay something, we panic. We panic. God have mercy. We panic because we don't understand what's available. Yes. Say, I'm an heir of God. I'm an heir of God. Watch this, verse 5. He came, made of a woman, made under the law, to redeem, to buy back them that were under the law. That's us. So we, when we were born in sin's shape, we were under this natural law. That we might receive— watch this— the adoption of sons. Now here, here's the important piece right here. You're loved, you want it, because you were adopted. I've heard of unwanted pregnancy, but I've never heard of unwanted adoption. When you adopt, you gotta choose, and you really got to have a heart for what you're doing if you choose to adopt a child. So you're loved and you're wanted, knowing all— everything he knows about you, he still adopted you. He still said, I'm gonna call you son. He still said, I'm gonna make you an heir of God. Say, I'm adopted. I'm adopted. Say, I'm a son of God. Son of God. Verse 6: And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of his Son— watch this— into your hearts. Now this is powerful. He says into your hearts, not your heart that's 6 inches below the collarbone, not this physical thing that pumps life into your physical body. This word heart is kardia in Greek. It is where we get words like cardiovascular, which is this system that makes the body work. But the kardia is the center of your passion. It's the center of your intellect. Your cardia is where you make decisions. Your cardia is where your senses are. Your ability to see, your ability to hear, your ability to smell, your ability to taste, your ability to touch. It's in your cardia. Watch what he says happens. The Spirit of Christ, the Spirit of a son, gets in your senses. And now you start making this— when you really receive this adoption and this resurrected kingdom in your life, you start being sensitive to spiritual things. And you, you will be wanting to do one thing and you'll start getting drugs somewhere else. Come on. Um, Maya was telling me last night that the word— I gave her a word at 15. She was 15 years old. She's almost 30 now, that she was going to be a journalist. And she told me last night that here she is at 30. Yeah, she was in nursing. And now her senses being fully exercised have aligned with that prophecy, and she's pursuing her career in journalism, which is where she's going to have her greatest satisfied. But it took time for her physical senses to catch up, because the Bible says our spirit needs to be fully— our soul needs to be fully exercised, our senses, our ability to make spiritual decisions. Yes. Are y'all hearing this? Yes. So when it happens, the Bible said that heart And that spirit, watch this, it says it cries out. Say crying out. I love that word for crying out, it's krazo in Greek. Krazo, K-R-A-Z-O. Krazo means that it screams out. Because once you get recognition of what's really in you, and once you get a revelation of how far you can really go, Listen, when God gave me the revelation— this didn't come out of my head because I ain't smart enough to do this— but when God gave me a revelation that I was going to be a billionaire, and people said, that boy crazy, he ain't gonna be— yes, I'm telling you right now, I'm on my way. I'm on the crash course to it. Let me tell you something, when God shows it to you, something— krazo— is you look— when we get words like crazy Watch this, you start screaming out like you're crazy, Abba Father, which means our Father. You do it because what you see is bigger than you. I don't miss a day saying our Father, because when you say our Father God, he comes in and gives you directives and plans and ways and opportunities to create what he put in Oh my God, are y'all hearing this? You gotta understand that what God has put in you to inherit, your intelligence cannot come up with it. You're gonna need to cry, 'Abba, Father,' to see it come forth. And can I teach this in one second? Because what God wants us to understand is that your vision is so big that it will be cross-o to people that don't understand it. It's cross-o to people that don't understand that for me, a million is not where I have to stop. I have to go from a million to a billion with a B. Glory to the name. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. You ain't got to like it, and it may sound crazy to you, but when you get a revelation of where you're going, it will sound crazy to people looking at you talking about what you're gonna build, what you're gonna do, what you're gonna grow, who God said you are. And what you need to do is instead of entertaining folk that think you're crazy and looking at you like you're crazy, just cry out, 'Abba Father,' because every time you say, 'Abba Father,' The glory comes, the help comes, the deliverance comes, the victory comes. I tell you, say Abba Father. Come on, cry it out again. Abba Father. You ain't going to preach tonight. Everybody preaching. Come on, Father. I can't live with this word, man. So that's how we get to the place where we're no more servant. But as long as you don't understand your identity as a son and your identity in Christ as an heir, you'll always be bound to where you are. Somebody watching this video Somebody lied. Listen, don't stay stuck. I want to tell you right now, there's more in your belly, and you gotta shift from carnal senses. Yeah, and exercise your senses in worship and prayer and understand, God, I want all that you have for me. Somebody shout, all! I don't know about you, I want all I don't want to leave this earth until I get everything, cuz I got too many people to help. I got too much stuff to do. I got too— I got too many places to go. Glory to God. My wife, uh, was talking to her mother, and my mother-in-law knows we're always on the go, always going. And we just had our same— glory to God. 5 prophecies that God's getting ready to give me an airplane. I got to— anything that I wanted, listen, I need it. I'm planning a church in DC, I got a church in Atlanta, I'm planning the church in Jackson. I need a plane. All this driving for the birds, buying commercial tickets, it's for the birds. And, and my mother-in-law said something to my wife, and she said, you know, we just waiting on our plane. It's not getting easy because My mother-in-law's concerned. Y'all just going, going, going. And when my wife said this, she said, my mother-in-law, she's a very joyfully-yam lady. She just feel like laughing. She said, you know what, I love y'all faith, and I'm just scared of y'all. Because she knows it's going to happen. Because everything we put our faith on, it manifests. I'm telling you. Y'all going to see me in a few months. I'm going to be driving from the private airport. Glory to God. Cuz, cuz listen, I know what's available to me cuz I'm an heir of God. Glory to God. Thank you, Chief. I want to be the kind of man that as long as this Earth remain, there'll be seedtime and harvest for my children and their children, that when I'm long gone, harvest is still flowing to my children, my grandchildren, my great-great-grandchildren, my great-great-grandchildren that I'll never meet, that the harvest of my life is flowing to them. You don't want to take care of people while you go. Yeah, that's right. I'll be 54 this year, so I live in 3 positions really. I live, one, for purpose. I have to be on purpose. I have to connect with people who are in my purpose. I gotta do my purpose. I need to be where God wants me to be. Secondly, I live for destiny. Destiny is I'm standing here and I see my destination. I see where I'm going. I live for where I'm headed. Glory to God. So I don't waste time with people that's trying to take me somewhere else. Look, I'm living for where I'm going. But thirdly, I live for legacy. That's what I'll leave behind. Yeah. And when you are there, you're always thinking legacy. That's right. I got to the point it ain't even about me no more. I preach, I teach, I built businesses not for me. I'm building for my children. I told my oldest son last week, I said, son, I'm building this production company for you. He's had a passion for film. Yes, ever since he was a child, he's been running around cameras, taking pictures, trying to video people. And so when God blessed me to start my own production company, and now I'm doing documentaries, movies, writing, doing all these different things, I told you, I'm building this for you. I said, what you got to do is start getting in position now because I ain't gonna be able to keep doing this. Matter of fact, before I'm gone, you're gonna get this inheritance and just run this company because I got too much to do as far as ministry is concerned. I gotta go make sure something else is running and working. All these strings are working, but this one is for you. You have to think beyond yourself. That's right. When you are heir of God, that's why. Because guess what? When you are heir of God, God's way of doing things superimposes on your thought process. Oh, let's keep moving, let's keep moving. Y'all getting anything? Yes. Go to 1 Peter 1. Glory to God. I really almost through. Y'all don't believe that. Oh, do whatever. I really am. Glory to God. Yeah, Jesus. 1 Peter 1. I want to look at verse 3. Let's look at 3 and 4. We're going to look at 3 and 4. Say, I'm an heir. I'm an heir by birth. By birth. Say it again. Say, I'm an heir. I'm an heir by birth. By birth. How many of you born again? That's everybody. So that mean you are heir of God by birth. Let me just break down one of the areas. That means you have a right to receive what the deceased or the living has planned for you to have that belongs to them. God has planned that everything you need to do your kingdom purpose, you receive. Hallelujah! That's everything. Everything bad— listen to this— is under the curse. We live under the blessing. Poverty is under the curse. That's why I tell you all the time, at some point, if you're walking with God, something should shift in your finance. Mhm. People don't like to talk about money in church. Two things y'all won't talk about: money, and you don't want to talk about sex. But you want some both of them, and most people want a whole lot of both of them. But we need to have those discussions so we put those in the right context. And in particular, money— you cannot establish anything without will. And you got to understand who your daddy is. Are y'all hearing this? Your daddy owns everything. My natural daddy, I understand who he is. My natural daddy is blessed, but I know he ain't like God. I can ask God for it, God can give it to me. As they do, it's like pulling a dentist trying to pull some impacted wisdom teeth that done grew in upside down, because that's not my daddy. And that's why he gonna have a whole lot, because he ain't gonna give much away. That's just him. But at the end of the day, our daddy is full of liberality. He wants to give to you. You just got to understand what is yours. So the Bible says here, here we go, 1 Corinthians— I'm sorry, 1 Peter chapter 1, verse 3. It says, blessed be God The word bless is, I love it, is one auglio in Greek. One auglio is what we— words like eulogy, it's spelled very similar, which means to speak well of or to pronounce blessing over. It means to declare— watch this— that you are one with another's goodness. So if I say— if I release blessing over Apostle and said, 'Bless God, bless you, Apostle McCoy,' that means I become not only one with what I'm— not only did I say that, but I become one with the blessing I release, because whatsoever I sow, that shall I reap. So when you say, 'Blessed be God,' you become one with the blessing that God carries. So instead of panicking when you look at bills you need to pay off, just pull out those student loans and lay your hands on them and say, blessed be God. You got to become one with what God has. Instead of— instead of getting upset about that mortgage that you want to pay off, they tell you going to take 30 more years, put your hand on lay your hands on them and say, blessed be God. Instead of getting upset about some rebellious children, lay your hands on them and say, blessed be God. You gotta touch your life and say, blessed be God. Just touch yourself and say, my Father is blessed. Listen, nobody else may not ever do anything to help you, but that's okay. If nobody else comes to your rescue, If nobody else will give you a loan, the bank could have told you no a thousand times, but I dare you to begin to declare and decree every day, blessed be God. Listen, you got to understand that your God is blessed. He wants you to be blessed. He wants you to prosper. He wants you to live. He wants you to be burden-free. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. I know they sing the song, I had some good days, I had some bad days. I had some hills to climb, but all of my good days, they outweigh my bad days, so I won't complain. Good song, wrong faith. Glory to the name of God. I've heard God's— listen, that's not my testimony. I've had some good days. My testimony from, from— I'm telling you, from the time I got this revelation, I've had some good days. I've had some good days. I've had some good days. I've had some good days. Do that and not have no bad days. You know why? Because God is blessed. He's a blessed God. He's bigger than my trouble. He's bigger than my problems. And I am an heir of God. I wish I had somebody here that wanted to believe tonight that there are no limitations on what God should do. Blessed be God. Oh my God, here I tell shout it tonight. Blessed be God. You may be in a struggle right now, you may be in the throes of labor and don't know how you're coming out, but I dare you shout, blessed be God. Glory to the name of God. I'm telling you, if you call him long enough, he'll show up, he'll open the door. He'll make a way. Blessed be God. You don't know where it's coming from, but I just saw the heavens open up and God said to tell you, if you just declare it in the devil's face, blessed be God. Blessed be God. When I put my faith on something, I trust it because my God is blessed. Hallelujah! I, I told y'all last night, I got my faith on 3 buildings that we going to buy cash with no bank. How you going to do it? Blessed be God! I got my eye on a Cessna jet. How you going to do it, my Michael is blessed. Oh my God, be God. I wish I— me and my wife was looking at houses today, so we'll have a home in Atlanta and a home in Mississippi. I love to play golf. I was pulling up $600,000 houses in Reunion. How you going to do it, Michael? I'm going to do it because my God is blessed. I tell somebody, shout blessed! Be God. Yes, God, you are blessed. You are blessed, God. I don't— I can't talk to nobody else, but Father, you've shown me You've been good to me. You brought me out. You caused me to live when they said it was over, when they said I would die, when they said I would never bounce back. God, you're blessed. And because I'm an heir of you, nothing could stop you. Nothing can hold me down. Bless! Blessed be the Lord. Jesus, thank you, God. He says, blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah! Which— watch this— according to his abundant mercy. Say that with me. Say abundant mercy. The word abundant is polis, P-O-L-Y-S, in Greek, and it means much larger than can be phantomed or calculated. You can't calculate the mercy that God has shown you. It's much bigger than you really think. Watch this. And it also means much more, a much— polus— much more, much larger mercy that— watch this— can be calculated, or— watch this— adhered to as justice. So God says, I want to give you justice, because he's a just God. Yeah. Somebody said justice. Yes. Part of kingdom character and integrity And sowing that sonship life is allowing the justice of God, Maya, will work to be seen on our life. I'm talking about real justice. It's unjust if you are heir of God and you ain't got what he got. That's not just. It will be unjust. If my daddy left me a million dollars and I never got it— are y'all hearing that? Just, just think somebody left you somebody, you know you got $10 million, somebody left you, gonna get— you gonna keep doing what you gotta do. You're gonna get lawyers, you're gonna call judges, you're gonna do whatever you gotta do to get justice. Yes. God says according to abundant justice that you can't even calculate. Jesus, it's justice for you to live out your inheritance, for people to see the glory of God on your life. Jesus, I said, Lord, I receive the justice. Lord, I receive the justice. Plenteous justice so that everything is appropriated the way it needs to be a pro— he said, according to his abundant mercy, have begotten us— watch this— again. Here we go— unto a lively hope. Oh, watch this. This ain't just hope that's being sold to you as a dream. Zio in Greek is, is lively, which means it's alive. It has a heartbeat. Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom. Your hope has a pulse. Your hope in God is breathing. It's alive. That's good. Only way you don't get what God has promised and that you should be hoping for is that you don't acknowledge that it's really— it's really alive. I dare you, shout it, it's alive! It's alive! The hope is a lively hope, which means there's nothing dead about the dream, about the justice, about the blessings that's on God, about the heritage that you have in God is— you got to stop ignoring the heartbeat. Amen. Because a lot of time what we do, we turn to carnal ways of producing, carnal means of bringing things forth. That's good, that's good. Yeah, yeah. Plus I rolled by— we was— like I said, we was out today with Alex. Rode by the Metro Cinema and my hope's gone. Come on, the Holy Spirit said— I told my wife, I said, yeah, we got to buy that. She, shut your mouth. I said, and then I start giving her the plan. That's the hope. I start giving her the plan. Glory to God. I said, so when we go buy, we going to take one of the big anchors, uh-huh, we going to make that the church. And then we going to take the rest of the anchors and for the kingdom, uh-huh, we going to bring Saks in here, we going to revitalize the economy, we going to bring a Neiman's in here, we going to bring a Macy's or Dillard's back in here. And then we going to start renting out the other boutiques inside of it, and we going to make this a vibrant center. Oh, y'all ain't got to say nothing here. Which brings economy back to Metro Jackson, and the kingdom— y'all ain't got to say nothing— will be glorified. And my hope was just— and somebody said, "Hallelujah!" Bless me, God, 'cause it's alive. Let me quit, let me quit, let me quit, cuz I'm about to lose my mind. He said, having gotten us again unto a lively hope. How? Watch this. By the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. This is not just a holiday. Come on, let's go! The resurrection should be operating every day in our life. Yes, watch this. Verse 4, that's where I want to get. He resurrected in us. His life is alive in us. Verse 4, to an inheritance. Wait a minute, the hope is alive, man. Watch this, this word is so powerful. He says he enlightened us to an inheritance. This word is kleronomia. Kleronomia deals with to take possession of what's rightfully Yours. See, what I understand is the mall, the reason it has a heartbeat in my spirit and a hope for me, it was always mine anyway, even while I was up and running with other people in it. Because God says, I'll give you houses that you ain't build. He already had planned this. So what God has already planned, it's already yours. Claro, he just waiting on you to take possession. And you got to own it in the resurrection realm before you occupy it. You got to step over into the realm of resurrection and understand this thing is alive, it's already mine, and go ahead and decree that thing. Take possession and declare the blessing of God over it and go ahead and receive it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. See, you may not have it physically yet, but you need to go ahead and claim that house. Uh-huh. You need to go ahead and put the blessing of God on your business, on your building, on your car, whatever you're trusting God for, on your purpose, on your life. I already own the billion that's coming to me. God ain't got to say nothing here because I've already possessed it. Yeah. Mhm. All right, I'm gonna keep going because I'm about to blow a fuse. To inheritance— watch this, wait a minute— that's something we could take possession of. Uh, athartos, that is incorruptible. Athartos. And this, this word means it will never decay. You will never lose it. Can I tell you something? God wants to give you some blessings that can't be repossessed. He wants to give you some blessings and some authority that you will never be removed from. It's incorruptible. He gonna put some stuff in your hands that— glory to that— that people thought you never would be able to get. That they work hard to keep you out of. That— watch this— once you get in this place and this mindset, witches can't stop you, rumors can't stop you, lies can't stop you. They can work witchcraft, sprinkle dust, write letters, burn candles, do what they— do what they want to do. Glory to God! It will not stop what God has planned once you possess it. The reason they look candles burning and working, because you ain't possessed the promise. But once you possess the promise, in light you don't have no candles. The wind of God just go right, just blow the candles out. Y'all ain't got to say nothing to me. Watch this. And the witch is not careful, the one that's working against you, they will die. Glory to God. Because the Bible declares he suffers not a witch to live. I want to serve notice on every witch that's watching this broadcast, that's hearing me preach. Every Mississippi witch, every Atlanta witch, I want to serve notice on you. You can rise up against what God is doing in my life if you want to, but I decree and declare, if you don't repent and back up, because I've already took hold to the blessing, I decree and declare your death is imminent. Because the Constitution says, uh, he suffers not a witch to live. I command your your deliverance. I command your salvation. I command your breakthrough, because that's the only way you will have life. But if you keep coming up against God's people and God's anointing and God's assignment, then— oh, I heard the Holy Ghost say, you will die! Take that one to the back. We bless you. He said, to an inheritance incorruptible. Wait a minute, he ain't through with it. Your incorruptible inheritance, once you possess it, it's incorruptible and it's also undefiled. Aminontos in Greek. Oh boy. Which means it's not deformed, it's not unhealthy, it's not out of line. So what God is about to give you is in alignment with his will and his plan. Anything else you're doing that's not in alignment with his will and his plan is deformed. It's not in formation with what he has decided. It is— oh my God— it is deformed. And that deforming creates a deficit. The deficit is you never inherit your inheritance. You never get to see what was promised. So many people have died in deformity. Because, oh my God, they didn't align themselves. They got deceived. Watch it. So deformity, the next step is deception. You get deceived, you start believing that your way of operating, your way of doing things is the right way. That's deception. Watch this, a deceived person, it's worse than a liar. Nestra, a liar. No, they lie. But a deceived person believes they are right. And when you are deformed, you end up in this deceived place. Oh my God, where you think what you're doing is okay. Yes. And that deception then leads to a detour. You start taking these shortcuts, trying to make your life work, and it never kind of pans out. Then you end up destroying the blessing. So deformity, deficit, Uh, detour, deception, destruction. That's what you don't want to have, but it happens to so many. That's why so many people don't walk in their inheritance. You got to refuse that. I'm coming, as the old preacher would say, quickly to a close. He says, an inheritance incorruptible, undefiled, that fadeth not away. Wait a minute, it's reserved in heaven for you. Come on, Mark Network. Okay, so I do a lot of traveling, so whenever I travel, we make reservations. We even— most time we go out to eat We make reservations because we don't like to wait. Reservations keep you from waiting. You know what time you're supposed to be there, and when you got a reservation, you get there at the right time, you're going to be seated. That's why a reservation is so valuable. Every now and then I'll get somewhere where I have made a reservation in advance. First of all, that's the key to a reservation— it's always made in advance. It's a pre-planned meeting. So your inheritance is reserved, it's pre-planned before you ever got here. It's already on hold. If something is reserved, it's on hold. If you reserve a hotel room, what do they give you? They give you a confirmation number. Yes. And so this is your com— that this proves that when you get to this hotel, you got room. And again, sometimes I've gotten to hotels and so when Mr. Woodsman booked We don't have a room. I said, you know what, I don't know what you got to do. You got to build me a room, kick somebody out of a room. But this confirmation number proves that I have a room in this hotel. You know what they normally do? Either they find me a room that they upgrade me to, or they call another hotel and move me to and they pay for it because they make the mistake of messing up my reservation. Think about how you trust reservations. Yes, especially at this day and time. You can buy a plane ticket online and trust when you get to the airport everything's going to be in order. Why is it we can't trust the reservation that Heaven has made? Jesus, he says you're Destiny is already reserved. Your inheritance is on hold. He's just waiting for you to get a little eyes to receive it. I'm done. Watch this. We got to get the mindset, people, that we are heirs of God and that we are heirs to his fortune and everything that he has. Put yourself against him. I'm an heir of God. Come on, say it one more time. Say, I'm an heir of God. Y'all stand. Genesis 1:28 says that we should be fruitful, multiply, subdue, replenish, and have dominion. This is the dominion mandate. The word Rada means dominion and authority. Rada Church Rotha Church is an apostolic and prophetic ministry designed to assist Kingdom citizens, believers, to deliberately help them really to shift their life into supernatural overflow. Because you really can't have dominion and moving your dominion purpose without supernatural overflow. So Rotha Church exists to help you discover your dominion purpose, because your purpose is never your decision, it's always your discovery. And once you discover it, we're here to help you develop that self-same purpose. And the reality is, it's no good if that purpose is not deployed. So we're here to help you deploy that purpose into the earth so you could be effective. So you owe it to yourself, man, to visit Rhoda Church and experience this place. It's absolutely amazing. Go to rodditchurch.com right now and set yourself up for dominion purpose. Peace.
