Kingdom Culture | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr. | 40 Day Finale | 5.31.22

Ane o shikiaia. Oh, Jesus. Mm, God, we bless your name, Lord. We honor your name. Glory to God. Well, praise the Lord, everybody. I want to welcome you guys to our live stream tonight. And listen, this is the grand finale of 40 Days of Infallible Proof. And when I tell you, uh, for me personally, this has been an amazing 40 days. God has done nothing short of prove himself more and more and more to be the amazing God that he— that I've known for the last 40 years. And he never ceases to blow my mind. He's absolutely wonderful and awesome. Listen, tonight, if you're joining us, we need you to do us a favor. Whether you're here live or by replay, it's very important that you be a blessing to somebody else. You know, the Bible declares that we're blessed to be a blessing. I feel the anointing, so I want to get all this out of the way. Please do me a favor and share this. Glory to God. Somebody needs what is about to be disseminated on tonight. And I promise you, glory to the name of God, God will bless you for being a blessing to someone else. So please go ahead, do me the kind favor and share this. Uh, this is going to be phenomenal. We're going to talk about kingdom culture tonight. And remember, the 40 days of infallible proof was about Jesus showing himself alive for 40 days after the resurrection, after his death, with infallible proof. And the Bible declares that along with those infallible proofs, he taught the things pertaining to the kingdom. You know, I'm just a kingdom preacher. I've been teaching the kingdom for most of my ministry. And, you know, the reality is the kingdom really is the only message that Jesus taught. One of the problems in the world today is that it's the most least message preached today by preachers. Preachers preach everything else except the kingdom of God, and it's the only thing Jesus preached. I don't get it, but because everything we need is in the hands of our King, and we really need to understand how life really should be as it relates to our home country. I was telling somebody yesterday, I am really just a person who was born in America, but I am a citizen of heaven. I am a citizen of the Kingdom of God. Although I was born in Grady Hospital, Atlanta, Georgia, I am a citizen of the Kingdom. I am in the United States, in Atlanta, Georgia, in the world on assignment to help the Father carry the Kingdom to another place in the minds of men. Um, I'm an ambassador. I'm, I'm here on assignment, and so are you. And we have to grasp that, man. Y'all do me a favor, please share this. Glory to God. Um, I promise you somebody will be blessed if you do. I'm gonna get into this tonight. I'm gonna pray. And tonight what I want to do, glory to God, I want to make sure that we have opportunity to pray individually for people doing this live. We said we would do this. Uh, if you catch the replay, you're going to miss that opportunity. But if you're here live tonight, glory to God, if you know somebody that's sick, we're trusting God for infallible proof. No matter what the ailment, we're believing God that the anointing is going to come through this live and bring forth healing. Someone that needs deliverance from addiction of any kind, we're trusting God that through this stream tonight they will receive their healing. The Bible declares that healing and deliverance is the children's bread. So we're believing God for that. If you need a breakthrough in your family, in your finances, whatever you need, we're trusting God for infallible proof in that area tonight. Do me a favor, ladies and gentlemen, if you have a prayer request, I want you to type that prayer request in the comments tonight. Again, we're going to be ministering prophetically to several of you tonight. Glory to the name of God. Individually, as the Lord will speak to us as we're teaching, we may break away as we see you come in and say whatever the Lord says. All right, but we want to make sure that you leave this live tonight with some proof that you— oh my God, have been with the Father. So Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you tonight for your anointing. I thank you for those that are live right now and those that are watching by replay. Father, I give you glory for these 40 days of infallible proof, and I thank you that the infallible proof won't end today. But God, we will see infallible proof that you are alive in our life every day. Daily, we will see your hand of provision. We will see your hand of love, your hand of power move in our life daily, God. And I thank you, God, that we will daily come into a working knowledge that we are kingdom people and that we are citizens of the kingdom of God. And that we are governed by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Hallelujah. And that we are ruled by you. So live in us, show yourself alive. We rebuke religion, cast the devil out of the mind, break down every stubborn will, and we release angels at our charge to enforce the covenant of thy word tonight. The covenant of healing and deliverance, the covenant of wealth and riches, the covenant a breakthrough. God, we thank you now. Help give us oneness with you tonight like we never had before. Give us at-one-ment, atonement, God, like never before. Let us be one with the King and his kingdom, and let us understand our place as citizens. And we thank you for it now, Father. We thank you for the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Listen, I'm so glad that you are here tonight. Do me a kind favor as you come in the room. I need you to say hello, and I definitely need you to share this. Tag someone in the comments. Praise God and share this, share this, share this. Again, we're going to be praying for healing and deliverance. If you know someone that needs deliverance, needs healing in their body, needs deliverance from addiction, needs financial breakthrough, Or if you need a word from the Lord, or somebody you know needs a word, we're going to be prophesying and praying at the end of the message. Get them on this live tonight. Glory to God. I am so grateful, glory to God, to be able to teach the word of God and to teach the things that pertain to the kingdom. So let's jump into this tonight. I don't want to hold you long, it's a Tuesday night. Glory to God. I want to make sure, however, that you get this and that you experience the fullness of God's power as we teach the word of God tonight. Hey, God bless you, Elder Frazier. Good to see you. Glory to God. Listen, I'm— I want to talk about kingdom culture. Um, glory to God. This is so very important, saints. And again, the kingdom— I want you to hear me It's the only message Jesus preached, and it is the least preached message today. I'm gonna say that one more time. It's the only message Jesus preached, and it's the least preached message today by preachers. And honestly, that's one of the reasons our world is in trouble. And for the last 40 days on these lives in our church, when I've been on the road traveling, I have been teaching about the kingdom. Matter of fact, for the last 33 years of my ministry, I've been teaching about the kingdom because at the end of the day, we got to come to a working knowledge that we are really kingdom citizens and we have real rights and benefits. So there's messages on YouTube, messages on my timeline. However you're watching tonight, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, wherever you are, you will be able to find the replays of a lot of the things we've taught over the last 40 days. Make sure you avail yourself of that word and that knowledge. Man, I taught a message Sunday, and the Lord met us so at the church. We talked about the kingdom constitution, which is the word of God. And listen, you'll never be able to operate totally in the kingdom if you don't have a solidarity or substratum in God's word. I don't care how much you squint your eyes, how much you float, how deep and wonderful you say you are, you need a solid foundation, a solid substratum in God's word, right? So that you'll be able to build from that. And we, man, the Lord met us in that message. So make sure you avail yourself again of these teachings. All right, again, guys, please, share this, right? I need you to share this. It is so very important that we get this out. So again, tonight we're talking about the concept of kingdom culture, the concept of kingdom culture. And when you think about culture, man, culture really encompasses a lot of things, and I'm going to really take my time and, and unpack this tonight for you, okay? Uh, it encompasses a lot of things. And really, once you understand the culture of a people, I want you to understand something. You then really will comprehend that people. One of the reasons a lot of other races don't comprehend other races is because they don't understand the culture, because all they know is what they know. And the reality is, the thing that makes a nation a nation, a people a people, is wrapped up in culture. So let's get some working definition. So I've been defining kingdom for 40 days. I want to define it again in case somebody missed it. All right, the word kingdom is from the Greek word basileia. And the word basilia means the authority, the rule, the reign, the government. Hear me, the light, the illumination, the intelligence, and the wealth of the king. It is the king's way of ruling and operating. He brings his entire essence to the kingdom. There can be no kingdom without a king. I taught in the early parts of these 40 days for 3 days straight the attributes of the king. Go back on my timeline, go to YouTube and find the teachings about the king, because you got to understand he is the substratum of the kingdom. And if you don't understand his characteristics and how he moves, you'll never really matriculate or mature in in the things that pertain to the kingdom. I don't care how much you say it, you're really not going to mature in it if you don't understand the majesty, the sovereignty, the wealth, the essence, the light, the illumination, the intelligence of the King. And then you got to realize that when the King shows up in your life and brings his kingdom with him, you have access to that kingdom. We've taught that, not going to teach it again. But listen, again, as you guys come in, again, I want to minister to you. Glory to the name of God. And I want to pray for you, so make sure you say something so we can see that you're here. But please share this. So that's the kingdom. Now again, what is culture? Again, culture— praise the name of God— encompasses again a lot of things. So let's talk about a few things that are found in culture. So, and, and again, first natural, then spiritual. So I want to just lay a backdrop of some natural things regarding culture so you understand this as we get into the more loftier matters, uh, as it relates to the pneumatic cause of the kingdom. So here we go. So every country, first of all, has a land or a territory. You cannot create culture without land or territory. That is the place— watch this— where culture is created and lived out. So here in the United States, we have created Western culture, and even inside of that, you got sects of culture because there are so many different nationalities inside of these nations, these states. Matter of fact, there are people— here we go— within a people. And I think what we gotta learn is that what God is trying to do, even in the church, is raise up people within a people. Hear me. So that— oh my God— so that we will begin to superimpose the example of kingdom culture and living upon our society. But if everybody is a religious churchgoer and just goes through the motion and never shows up outside the building. I'm glad you deep at church. I'm glad you flying around the sanctuary. I'm glad you rolling around on the floor. I'm happy we do that. We have great church. We prophesy, we speak, we do all that. But I want you to understand something. You're called to create territory, to create culture in the territory outside of the church. Matter of fact, we're to take territory in a way and become the example. I'm getting ahead of myself, but I want you to grab this. Every nation has territory. It has land. You got to have it. You cannot have a kingdom without territory. Secondly, a key component to every country is that of language. I have traveled to 4 continents in my lifetime. I'm grateful to God for that. I have been to 42 states in these United States. Matter of fact, 43 now. Glory to the name of God. I've been to 43. I went to Nebraska, somewhere I had never been. Glory to the name of God. So which made it 43. So I've been to 43 states in this union right now. I need you to understand that the nation— glory to the name of God— in this country, the people in this country have a central language called English. But if you go to China, that's Chinese. You go to Japan, Japanese. You go to Australia, Australia. You go to Africa, Swahili. So every culture has a language. Culture of Heaven, we're not gonna— I'm not gonna go there yet, but the Culture of Heaven has a language. Let me keep moving. Another component, and we talked about this Sunday, is that every nation, every country has laws. You cannot have culture without laws. And even with laws, you still got crazy people that choose to break them. Come on now. But in order to have healthy culture, law must be in place. In order to ensure peace, order, and security for the people that live in a country, laws are instituted. Without law, there's going to be chaos, there's going to be confusion. And again, and I'm not going there yet, but a lot of what we're seeing in the body of Christ, a lot of chaos, a lot of confusion, a lot of disorder. Oh, because we don't operate on the kingdom law, we operate on the religion. I gotta move, I gotta move. So every nation has law. If you've traveled anywhere, you'll see even throughout the states, every nation's— even these small states can be referred to as nations, right? The United States. Glory to the name of God. Because every nation has symbols that represent their state, like birds, like flags, right? Like flowers, and then they like mottos. These are symbols and sayings that represents that country. The kingdom ought to have symbolization, fruit that represents the culture. Let's keep moving, let's keep moving. Oh boy, this is going to get better, I promise you. Stay with me. Another element, and I talked about this also Sunday, of every nation is a constitution, and I shared that that is a contract between the government and the people. In a kingdom, the constitution is written by the king. Watch this. And it is his desire for the people. The people have no say in the contract. One of the things we brought out Sunday is that the constitution cannot be amended in the kingdom. You can amend constitution in a democracy because the people employed the government because the democracy elects the leaders, and that's why they lobby to change things they don't like, right? But in a kingdom, the constitution never changes. It cannot be amended. I gotta go. Furthermore, Every kingdom has a moral code. A nation's moral code— hear me, I'm going somewhere, y'all— it embodies the moral standards by which the people have agreed to live and by which they have chosen to govern themselves. And in most cases, the moral code consists of written and unwritten standards. And a lot of times there's just things we know that are right and things we know that are wrong, and we still do wrong when we should be doing right. Listen, and then at the end of the day, the reality is it's a moral code that should be embedded in every human to do the things that are correct. I gotta move, I gotta move. Every nation has shared values, shared values. Every nation has customs. This is what— this is how culture, uh, these things embody culture. Every, every nation has social norms, things that are just normal for that culture. Social norms are the standards of speech, thought, behavior that are accepted by everybody. All right, and we know that there are some norms in the kingdom that people just don't view as norm, like healing. Healing is normal in the kingdom. That's our healthcare system. Tongues is normal in the kingdom. That's our language. That's— that should be a social— wait a minute, wait a minute. In the kingdom, commonwealth or wealth should be a norm. Because that's a part of kingdom living, because we have access to what the king has according to the decrees, according to the constitution. Ah, okay. So culture then is the act of developing— listen to this— those things I just said, intellectual and moral faculties, by education, training, and expert care. Developing Hallelujah. A consistent way of living according to those things I just listed, according to law, according to moral code, having a level of normality that aligns itself with the desire of that government. Wow. Culture is enlightenment and excellence And it is— watch this— acquired by training aesthetically and intellectually. So we have to be taught aesthetics in the kingdom. We have to be taught. And I think so many times this is why the church doesn't think, because we don't teach intellectually. And I'm talking about spiritual intelligence, because the kingdom It's not just about swelling words. It's about demonstration and power. But watch this. It's not meaning drink. It's joy and peace in the Holy Ghost. Well, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost comes through intellectual development. You got to learn how to have that. My spirit has to be trained to move in joy and peace inside the Holy Spirit. Oh my goodness. Oh my God. So, and the church has failed in a lot of ways because we jump, shout, speak in tongues, spit, blow bubbles. We lift our hands, worship, and cry. But we have not trained people on the aesthetics, what kingdom looks like, on how kingdom people think intellectually. See, It's not a good thing that you're good in church and you're bad in the world. Come on, man, that, that you can't function in the business world, in corporate America, you can't function in a classroom, you can't function, uh, as an intellectual authority in a certain area in the world system. Ooh, ooh, because We ought to be controlling the structures and systems of the world, not just what we do in the church. I gotta move. So culture becomes— hear me, y'all, stay with me, I'm going somewhere, I promise you, I promise you— culture becomes an integrated pattern of human knowledge belief and behavior that depends on humans' capacity to learn, to absorb the knowledge, and then turn around and transmit the knowledge to those that need it. Ah, watch this. This is how we all became the people we are. Our parents transmitted something to us, we received it, and most of the time we carry the same thing on to our children. Whether it was right, wrong, or indifferent, that's what cultivated us. That's what we knew. Oh my God, y'all. Ah, God. Oh my God. I, I need y'all to stay with me, all right? Please stay with me. I'm going somewhere. From a psychological and a sociological perspective, listen to this. Culture is the customary beliefs, the social forms and the traits of racial people, religious people, or a social group. It define— culture defines your values, your goals, and your practices, and it characterizes your movement. So this is why a lot of people just don't know how to move in certain environments. They haven't been cultivated hear me, in that environment. But we got to cultivate people in the kingdom. So even in a scientific way, I got— I'm trying to just lay this backdrop. I know this is a lot of information, but even in a scientific way, y'all, culture means to grow— watch this— in a prepared medium. So that's a powerful image because each of us, all of us We arrived on Earth— hear me— in a prepared medium, and immediately we begin to grow in that medium. We were shaped and influenced by the customs and the values of the community we grew up in, the house we grew up in, the church we grew up in. Ah, so Here's where the challenge arises. Because we were born in sin— watch this— and shaping in iniquity, according to Scripture, born in sin, shaping in iniquity. So over time, we start being cultivated in iniquity. What is iniquity? The Greek word says it is lawlessness. So we start getting cultivated in lawlessness. Born in sin, didn't have to do nothing, but then you had to be taught to live without kingdom boundaries, kingdom law. Nobody taught it because nobody knew it. Oh God, because after you spend 20, 40, 50 years in a certain medium that was prepared for you to grow and develop in. Oh, you got to break those strongholds down so you can receive a fresh kingdom thought and kingdom teaching. Let me share this with you. God has so much more in store for us. Hear this, but we gotta choose to leave where we are. Hear me, listen to this. You might want to write this one down. Matter of fact, type it on the screen if you're watching. You'll never leave where you are until you decide— listen— where you would rather be. You would never— you— and I don't care how much you say it and try to act like you've left it, it's always going to show back up in the fruit. The tree is known by the fruit it bear. It's going to always show back up if you really don't get delivered, if you really don't decide you'd rather be somewhere else. Because when you get comfortable in what has become your norm, if you don't deliberately work hard to break that, you're gonna be stuck. And you gotta decide, I wanna be a kingdom citizen, I wanna flow in another dimension, I wanna tap into things that I've never seen, I want access to the king the kingdom and his stuff. Yeah, but you got to decide where you rather be, because can you get to heaven where you are? Of course. Yeah, you can repent of your sin, live right, but you'll never experience heaven on earth. You will not experience the king until you die, and that's not the plan. That never was the plan. That, that's why we have the Holy Spirit. That's why Jesus came, so that his whole way of being could be superimposed upon us. Lord have mercy. I gotta go, y'all. I gotta go. I'm boring y'all. But a whole lot of new things are out there for us to learn. But here lies the problem. Again, you've been in this medium learning all these years, and subconsciously, a lot of times you reject it. You know how I know you reject it? Because a lot of times you don't take action when you receive a new truth. A reality that you have accepted a new truth is that you start acting upon it. Yeah, not you just heard it, but when you, you really accepted it as a part of your life when you start taking steps to act upon what you heard. Listen again, guys, if you know someone and needs prayer, that needs deliverance, that need breakthrough, I'm gonna pray when I get through tonight, and I really want you to share and get them on here. Listen. Culture is the center of the conflict, really. Watch this, and I'm going somewhere, I promise you. It's the center of the conflict between the kingdom of darkness and the kingdom of heaven, right? And the earth is the battleground. So the earth we own is the battleground. You got the kingdom of darkness, the kingdom of heaven. Okay, and culture is the manifestation. Okay, hear this. Culture is the manifestation that comes out of this battle. You got to decide that you no longer want to be housed in the kingdom of darkness. And I'm not saying even you're living in sin, but you're in the kingdom of darkness if you're not open to the light and the illumination of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Because you're dark to what he brings. So you're operating from a dark place because you really don't see how he moves in light. Oh my God, I'll say it again. You operate from a dark place because you really don't see how he moves in light because you have not accepted the light, the illumination, and his intelligence. Lord have mercy. So culture is the collective thinking of people, really. It's what they've learned and what they act out. So that's how— that's why we see different cultures. I mean, for God's sake, murder has become a culture. Homosexuality now is a strong culture. Lesbianism, strong culture. Polygamy is— you watch, it's coming. If we don't pray hard, it's coming. It's going to become a strong culture. Oh man, listen, the values, the beliefs, the ideas become the culture. That's what people live out. So here's what I want to submit to you, and this is where we're going in this teaching tonight. What really happens is whoever controls— oh my God— the culture also controls the minds. So if the system of darkness is controlling the minds of the world, that's the culture they're going to produce. And if we as leaders do not teach the people on the planet about the kingdom of God and introduce them to his light— and oh my God, God's kingdom will not control the minds. So we got to talk about submitting to this invisible God and submitting to his way of living and doing things. Listen, the Bible says this. Oh, you ain't got to believe it, but how you think is totally connected to what manifests in culture. Proverbs 23:7 says, as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. This means that the way we think determines who we become. So the way we think determines how we live, what our world, what the earth looks like. So you got to decide, are you thinking what God thinks when you make a decision? Are you thinking what God thinks when you act something out? Are you doing things your own way? My God, I gotta go, y'all. I gotta go. As a man thinks, or what's in his heart, the kingdom of God is a kingdom of the heart. Therefore, the King of Heaven, watch this, is battling for the minds of the creatures that he made in his own image. The created ones he made in his image God is battling for you. He wants your mind. He wants your mind. Oh boy, wait a minute, y'all say, I don't want to give nobody my mind. You ought to want to give God control of your mind. This is how you're going to ultimately walk in the kingdom. You guys, let— matter of fact, touch your minds now and say, whether you're live or by replay, just say, Lord, control my mind. Align my mind with your mind. The scripture said, let this same mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus. Sound like to me is you letting your mind go and giving it to God. I remember growing up in church, and mother used to break out with a song. She said, my mind done gone, Jesus got it. My mind done gone, Jesus got— that was so funny to me coming up, but now I understand. Glory to God, I understand what mother was talking about. You got to give up your mind and become a fool for Christ and let him have control. The Bible said if you keep your mind stayed on him, or stayed in him, or with him, he'll keep you in perfect mature peace. So let's talk about how the culture should be manifested through us as believers. So we've laid a backdrop, and just based on what we've seen, those number of ways, I want to go back through them and show you how culture needs to be manifested through us as kingdom citizens, as kingdom believers, right? All right, let's jump in this. Let's, let's look at it. Okay, so culture manifests itself in a few ways, and we're going to look at them. We're going to look real close. Number 1, culture manifests itself through values. Values are a defining characteristic of culture and a kingdom. What we value— watch this— reveals who we are. Now I want you to take a moment tonight. Those of you watching me, please share this. Glory to God. Whether you're watching YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, wherever you are, Please share this. Listen, 'cause people need to hear this. You can't be a kingdom citizen, come on, and not have kingdom values, because values reveal who you are. You can't be a kingdom citizen and not believe the Bible. Or running around here trying to change the Bible because you think you're smart enough to change it. No, you're not smart enough to change. Matter of fact, you're quite dumb, quite idiotic if you think you can change the words of God. Because the Bible is alive and our value system should emerge from the scriptures and it should emerge out of— watch this— our relationship with the King. When you got a relationship with the King, he communicates to you his value system, because values reveal who you are. You can't be in church jumping, shouting, speaking in tongues, spitting, blowing bubbles, going through the motion, prophesying, laying hands on the sick, trying to cast out devils, because you can't if you ain't got no power and no values. But then when you leave the church, you're a hoe, or you leave the church, you're a homosexual. You leave the church— I just heard somebody say this is no values. And see, the preacher standing up in the pulpit with a clergy collar on— I'm gonna say his name, Carlton Pearson. I saw the crazy post on Instagram. This is what he said: the man is too smart for himself. And this is a man I love, and who I learned a lot from when he was in his right frame of mind. But listen to me, this man said— let me tell you what he said. He said, you will not know you're free from sin until you understand you are free to sin. That's so dumb for a preacher to stand in the pulpit and make a stupid Again, all that intelligence he has, how can you make a statement that's stupid? If I'm free from sin, that I'm not free to sin, that's stupid. Grace. What shall you say then, Carlton, and all you other inclusionists? Shall you continue in sin that grace may abound? No, God forbid. And then you want to play the great— that's why you have no power. That's why you know— don't know God for real, because sin extrapolates God from your life. It separates you from him. Ah, because of your sin, you have been separated from between you and your God. You got to have values. If we're going to operate kingdom culture, we got to operate with high values. Ushka babanse, briske tebanso rabondia, manse kushka baya. Values. So value is what, Michael Woods? It's a belief, a conviction that is considered worthy of acceptance. Watch this. And carrying out by an individual or a group. The people in this hour have not tapped into the kingdom and the dimension of kingdom living because they have no values. Oh God, I'm sorry, y'all. I'm sorry. Matter of fact, what they do is they create their own set of values, and they create their own value system based on what they like doing. But it doesn't work that way in the kingdom. We do what the King says, and in return we get the benefit of being called citizens. We get the benefit of his presence with us at all times. Oh God. Okay, okay, so let me, let me, let me— Jesus, he preached really his first public message in Matthew chapter 5. He introduced a value system. Let's look at it, uh, Matthew chapter 5, verses 3 through 10. This is the beginning of Jesus's public ministry, and he introduces the value system of— watch this— of kingdom people. The first thing he said, watch this: blessed are the poor in spirit. Let's— so this whole dissertation, this whole soliloquy that Jesus is about to release, hear me, is about being blessed. The word blessed in this text is makarios. Bakarios in Greek. And what it literally means is to be, hallelujah, endowed with an indwelt quality. Glory to God. To be overwhelmed, glory to the name of God, with a deity on board in your life. That's what he's talking. He said you got a deity inside of you. You're blessed. Watch this. When you're poor in spirit, wait a minute, what is he saying? When your human spirit is starving, glory to the name of God, poor, impoverished, and the thing that emerges is the Spirit of God that takes control in your life. Blessed are the poor in spirit. Watch this, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. See, you don't get the kingdom of heaven being arrogant and boastful in spirit. You gotta— I ain't said be pouring, and this ain't be pouring money. It didn't even say be depressed or down. This means— I'm telling you what it means. It means that your spirit is impoverished, your human spirit. Hallelujah! Those things that are not like God have become poor. They have— hallelujah! They've been defeated, and you got a new king sitting on the throne. And the Bible said you're blessed because yours will be the kingdom of God. Watch this. Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted. Hallelujah! Oh my God. So if you're in the kingdom, these are values. Even when tears come, you got access to the King, you will be comforted. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. Wait a minute, wait a minute. Wait a minute, and being meek is not just being humble where you get ran over, or being callous or weak. It— what meek here means, really, it means, glory to the name of God, to operate from a perspective— watch this— that you are an inferior in the presence of a superior. I want you to understand something. God is always superior. This is value system. You got to be meek. You got to always recognize that the king is superior to you. His way is the best way. The moment you try to do it your way and the way you want to do things, God help us. And listen, I have made mistakes in my life, man, where I took the Michael Woods way, it never ever works. I'm gonna say that again, it never ever works. You gotta do this God's way. Let me read. And the Bible said you inherit the earth. God, heaven, earth is ours. He created it for us, for the citizens on earth, which is a colony of heaven. I ain't got time to teach about that tonight, but blessed are those who Hunger and thirst for righteousness. Wait a minute. For they will be filled. So if you really want to be righteous and you hunger for righteousness— wait a minute, diasunia in Greek, which means that which is accurate and precise. So them that hunger and thirst for accuracy, oh, not missing it to the left nor to the right, but who always want to be on point. How many times have you missed it? I raised my hands and my feet. I missed it a lot, y'all, in my life. But I've learned through growing with God that if I operate from a position— oh my God— of thirst and hunger for accuracy, I am always filled. I never miss it. See, people who miss it They want to. Oh God, you may say, no, I don't, I don't want to miss. Yes, you do, because you're not hungry for accuracy. You're not hungry for righteousness. This should be of value. You should be hungry to be accurate in your response instead of issuing out wrong responses to stimulation. Blessed are the merciful. But they shall be shown mercy. Okay, my God. So God was with you. He's on board. Again, remember Makarios? You've been marked with a deity inside. God is inside of you. He said if you, if you are merciful to others, he'll be merciful to you. That's a value. Oh, blessed are the pure in heart. I love this one, for they shall see God. Wait a minute, so if, if there's a pure in heart, there's got to be a filthy in heart. There's got to be an opposite of that to put this in context. So you can't just walk around and say everything's okay, God loves everybody. He does love everybody, but there he, he knows the difference in that which is pure and that which is unclean. The Bible even told us in Leviticus 10:10, you put difference between holy and unholy, between clean and unclean. But the Bible said if you're pure in heart, you will see God. Wait a minute, someone said, well, Michael, if I see God, I'm gonna die because the Bible said no man can see God and live. Well, you can't live if you see God, but if you really see him Things in your flesh and in your soulical man that are hindering you from kingdom operation and living, that's what dies. Oh, I'm not— this is not a physical death. When you see God, no man can see God and live. When you see God for who he is, when your vantage point of your perspective about God changes. Oh my God, things in you that don't belong die. They are mortified. The members of your flesh are mortified. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called sons of God. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, because of their accuracy. Hallelujah! Let, let the persecution come. Thank God for it, because when you're accurate and on point Everybody is not going to like it. And listen, you will be persecuted. But the Bible said when you do that, yours is the kingdom of heaven. That's what we want. We want the King's territory. We want the basilia. We want his light, his illumination, his intelligence, his wealth, his abilities, his resources. Hallelujah! His essence, his splendor, his weight, his majesty, his territory. We want The kingdom, the way we get it is through values. Values. Listen, this is known to a lot of people. We learned in this Sunday school as the Beatitudes, or blessings. It's from the Latin beatus, and which means blessed, again marked with an indwelt quality. We could even call these the B-Attitudes. These are the attitudes kingdom citizens should display in their character and in their behavior. Yeah, I mean, this is a great soliloquy on culture. Jesus brought it out. So it starts with values. Watch this. So again, values are extremely important foundation to our behavior as kingdom citizens. Number 2, culture manifests itself in priorities. It manifests itself in the things we regard— hear this— as most important. Oh wee, oh wee. In other words, whatever we prioritize in life— listen to me— reveals our culture. Let me just give you an example. A lot of y'all won't like this because y'all don't like to pay tithes anyway. Your tithe does not belong to you, it belongs to God. So the scripture says the tenth is holy unto God. So the first fruits of all your increase, when it comes in 10% of that is God's off the top. How can you allow Uncle Sam to get his and you don't give God what belongs to him? I don't get that. But at the end of the day, when I teach about tithing, I want to use this as an example. You have to prioritize God first when it comes to your money, because at the end of the day, it reveals your culture. If you trust in your own personal system and culture, you are participating in the system of giving and receiving. You won't participate in the system of tithes and offerings. Are y'all hearing this? Because all you, all you want to do is what you want to do, but you prioritize what's right. Listen, if we prioritize the sanctity of marriage, our culture will reflect that in the laws and our social norms. We talked about this in the beginning. Will, hallelujah, strongly renounce divorce, adultery, and other marriage busters. If sanctity of marriage— what? Oh my God— was a priority in this country, no way a law would have been passed for two men to get married or two women to get married. I know y'all Okay, I'm sorry, I love the homosexuals, I love lesbians, I love hoes, I love everybody. But at the end of the day, we got to do what's right, man. And we got to speak the truth and prioritize what's right. When we prioritize the sanctity of human life, our culture will suggest that abortion is wrong. Oh boy, listen, Jesus got to the heart of priority in Matthew 6. Let me read this. When he said this, he said, don't worry saying, what shall we eat, what shall we drink— hear me— or what shall we wear. For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things— hear me— will be given to you as well. So Jesus says, okay, it's— as humans, we like to prioritize what we gonna eat, where we gonna live, how we gonna dress. That becomes top priority. Jesus said, don't worry about that. Your Father in heaven, the King, he knows you need this stuff. Come on, even before you ask for it. So he said, what I want you to do is seek— zito in Greek— pursue hard after with uninterrupted focus the kingdom of God and accuracy and his accuracy. And he said, all these things that you prioritize prioritize, it's really not a priority. I'ma just add them to what's most important, which is you seeking the kingdom. Anytime you come up short and are lacking those things, I want to announce to you it's not because you didn't work enough or you didn't have enough overtime or you don't have enough opportunities. It's that you didn't have enough seeking God. You didn't have enough zitto in your life. There wasn't a hard pursuit after the kingdom and accuracy, so you missed it because you wasn't accurate to the left or the right or both. Hallelujah! So many people missing on both sides. Help me, Holy Ghost. Jesus, I, I need you to grab this, y'all. When you see the kingdom, he just attaches the things to you. He'll slip you a mansion. He'll slip you a million dollars. Hallelujah. He'll slip you a Bentley. He'll slip you a husband, slip you a wife. It just gets added to you. He'll slip you a business. It just shows up because you're going— see, this is simple. It's simplex. Choose to prioritize the kingdom first. Seek God first before you do anything else. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! Oh my God, number 3. I'm getting out of here because I got to pray for some of y'all tonight. Oh my God, oh my God, number 3. Culture is manifested. I love the Lord, man. I just love the Lord. Number 3, culture is manifested in behavior. There's a Greek word called pneumaticos. Pneuma-aticos. Pneuma-aticos. Pneumaticos. It is the behavior— watch this— of Spirit-filled people. Oh, it's the behavior of Spirit-filled people. The way we behave reveals our culture. It's just that simple. Listen, if you cuss all the time and drink all the time, it speaks to the culture you were cultivated in. If— oh my God— if you like to fight, if you— oh my God— if you like to go outside with no clothes Listen, if you have sex with everybody's husband but your— and you ain't got a husband, it just says something about where you come from. Or everybody else's woman, and, and you know you're not supposed to— it says something about culture, behavior. If you lie all the time, it says something about where you come from and how you were raised. There's a way spiritual people should act, which leads me to number 4, because the thing that influences behavior, I believe, is standards. If you have no standards, your behavior is in chaos, it's in a chaotic state. But when you have standards, you have a way of doing things because you're always trying to live up to those standards. The standards we apply to everyday life— hear me, hear me— reveal whether we have a culture that indulges and encourages mediocrity or a culture that inspires excellence. I always say, how you do one thing is how you do everything. I'll say it again: how you do one thing is how you do everything. Let that marinate, because if you are late for work, I promise you, you are late everywhere else. How you do one thing is how you do everything. If you don't clean up your house you're gonna be dirty everywhere you go. Because how you do one thing is how you do everything. If you don't take pride in your appearance, it's how you do everything. Listen, so ask yourself the question: do you take pride in the appearance of your house, your church, your business, your city, the streets? Do you have a— oh my God— high premium on quality things, or are you just satisfied with just enough to get by? And so that says a lot about you, your standards. You know, some people want to live in the realm of just enough, and that, that's just the standard you set. That's your culture. But I want you to know you can raise the bar. Standards can be adjusted. They can be lifted higher or lowered. Ah, listen, either way, your standards reflect culture. In fact, I want you to hear this: our culture hear me, listen— will never rise higher. Yes, Lord. It will never rise higher than our standards. So if we raise the bar and go for everything the kingdom has to offer, hear me, there'll be nothing we cannot achieve. Lord have mercy. There'll be nothing we cannot communicate to the world through example that they will not believe, and they'll come to the King. But we got to raise the standard. We got to stop accepting mediocrity. We gotta stop accepting things that the system has told us is the way to do it when it goes against the standard of the kingdom. We were told that we need to finance automobiles. We were told we need mortgages on houses because that was just the traditional way to do it, to get a mortgage and pay it off in 30 years, to get a car, pay it off in 5 years, 4 years, 3 years. No, listen, I'm telling you, when you raise the standard, God will add it to you where you can buy a house cash. Where you can buy cars cash that you want. Listen, I was telling my wife, um, I think it was yesterday or day before yesterday, one. Yeah, I'm in love with this Mercedes electric car. Now, could I go out here and get a loan, finance it? Yeah, good. But I'm not gonna do that, and I'm gonna trust God through working the kingdom, and I'm gonna testify to y'all when I get it. That God's going to give me every dime of what that car costs, and I'm going to go to the dealership, and I'm not going to touch any money I have now. Watch this, I'm going to specifically work a kingdom principle and decree and declare that car coming into my life debt-free. Hallelujah. And I'm going to just keep pursuing the King, and that thing is going to be attached to me. Listen, it's gonna happen, and when it does, I'm gonna let y'all know. $138,000, I'm gonna drop it on the table and drive the new electric car, Mercedes-Benz electric car, out of the dealership. Listen, because that's how the kingdom works. I'm not going to finance a $140,000 car and pay for it for 5 years. That's bondage. The borrower is slave to the lender. I'm not doing that. I'm trusting God's way of doing things. Hallelujah. Listen, as kingdom citizens, we got to raise the standard. Number 5— I'm getting out of here because I'm losing some of y'all. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The culture is manifested in celebration. Our culture is revealed in the things we celebrate. Watch this. And how We celebrate them. In the kingdom of God, there's only one celebration. We celebrate the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, our King. We celebrate him in praise. We celebrate him in worship. We celebrate him in lifestyle. And watch this, the return is always great because he is the focus of celebration. Glory be to God. He's the focus of the celebration. Listen, listen, holidays and things of that nature, people celebrate those holidays. It is reflective of culture. People have different ways they approach holidays. It's a reflection of culture. In the kingdom of God, we— our habitual celebration is to celebrate Jesus Christ as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the King of our life and our world. Every single day. When we do that, there's a high return on that. Listen, the King will reveal himself to us when we celebrate him. Hallelujah! Listen, how do I celebrate him outside of the church? I'm— listen, I'm glad you thought that because I want to tell you. Well, let me give you an example. Whatever makes Jesus angry should make you angry. Hallelujah. And whatever makes him happy should make you happy. This is celebrating with the King, right? Uh, whatever fills him with joy should make us joyful, and whatever brings him sorrow should grieve our spirits as well. That lets you know you're in the kingdom and you're celebrating the King's way. Remember, the kingdom is about the King. And what he desires for his family. Oh my God, I gotta get out of here, man. Number 6: culture— kingdom culture is manifested through morality. Morality, morality. The level of our moral conscious and consciousness reveals the level of our culture. Look, Do you shrug your shoulders at adultery? Say, oh yeah, everybody's gonna cheat. Do you shrug your shoulders at homosexuality? Do you shrug your shoulders at murder? Do you turn a brown blind eye to pedophilia? You know somebody in your family is a pedophile messing with the children in your family. Do you not say nothing? Come on, man. Morality is not just you not doing it. It's taking a stand against those that do and speaking the truth— watch this— in love so that they will want to make a change. Oh boy, listen, are we willing to normalize perversion in our society? Are we willing to normalize things— glory to the name of God— that the King detests? Our morality— we should feel some kind of way when we see it, and we should want to pray for those people, and we should want to ask God to give us wise strategies— hear me— to reach them. Listen, are we committed to standing up and supporting the highest standards of moral purity? Oh my God, oh my God, I gotta go, man. Number 7, I'm boring y'all, so I gotta go. Yeah, everybody don't like to be teaching. If I was on here hollering and, you know, not saying nothing, you know, people would be engaged. But listen, this is what we need to do. We gotta impact the culture, man. And we— the culture has to come out. And you wonder why your family won't get saved. Number 7, because kingdom culture is, is connected to relationships. And if you're not a kingdom citizen, they're not going to be introduced to the kingdom. They think— most of your family members, let me tell you what they believe when they see you and me. They think we're trying to really lead them to the same old religion, dead man's religion, that all of us grew up in, in the family. They think we're trying to take them through that same process, not understanding that we're trying to take them to something greater, something bigger, something that's rooted in the real essence of a King that really is alive in their lives. Listen, how do we relate to the people we relate to? How do we treat them? How do we handle when we get angry with them? Do we act like Christ would? Oh boy. Or do we— uh-oh, uh-oh. Or do we get in the flesh and lower our standards and react to them? Listen, when people are hungry— and that's what people who are outside the kingdom, they're starving because they haven't experienced what you've experienced, what I've experienced. So when there are people outside of the, the core of kingdom living and kingdom culture and kingdom lifestyle— hear me, oh my God— they're hungry. And see, guess what? When people are thirsty, the culture of heaven says, I got something for you to drink, I got something for you to eat. Our culture is revealed— watch this— in how well we take care of each other. Oh my God, watch this. We gotta be— have a high relationship threshold, even then come down to forgiveness. We can't hold grudges. We cannot carry stuff and not realize, man, that we got to learn to let things go. Matthew 18, verses 21 and 22, and I'm gonna close with this. I got so much more, but I'm gonna stop. Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? 'Up to 7 times.' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not 7 times, but 70.' Oh my God, 7 times! In response to Peter asking how many times I forgive, Jesus gave him a big number. He put a number on that thing. He said 77 times in one day. Listen, indefinitely. I mean, listen, not just on one, but this ought to be the attitude. 77, double completion. You completely forgive every time. That's what he's saying. Every time someone offends you, completely forgive, because you're giving them a gift. It's not about them, really. It's about you. You give them a gift and release them so you can move on, so you're not bound. You gotta— this, this has to be a norm, a social norm. We should forgive as often as necessary. Listen, we take our cue from the King. As he has forgiven us and keep on forgiving us, right? We're due— we're to do the same thing with others. I'm gonna hit this last one. The kingdom culture is revealed, and I gotta go. I gotta go. And social norms, social norms, all right? So whatever is regarded as normal in our society reveals our culture. So we got to get in the habit of introducing our society to kingdom social norms, like healing. People get all crazy when someone gets healed and delivered. We should get excited, we should praise for it, but it's a normal thing. It should be an everyday occurrence in kingdom living. It should be a social norm. Forgiveness, a social norm. Listen, we have the— we have to propose questions to our society about things they say normal. Is shacking up a social norm? Pretty much in America, everybody lives together before they get married. But that shouldn't be the case, okay? Because listen, you know you're going to fornicate if you live with somebody before you marry them. So at the end of the day, but that's everything is just so accepted now, and it's just a dangerous piece, man, because it locks you out. Oh my God, it locks you out. Glory to the name of God, of God's plans. Lord have mercy. My God, today is a corrupt government normal, a social norm. We have the authority in the kingdom to change that. That's why we need kingdom politicians who are filled with the Holy Ghost, who can operate under the auspices of the King to promote the things of the kingdom in government. Yeah, I don't have time to talk about that, but we, we really got to create a new level of integrity around the word of God and things that pertain to the kingdom that are normal. It's normal to worship. It's normal to speak in tongues. Come on, man, it's normal. It's a no— it's our heavenly language. That's the language of our home country. It's normal. To lay hands on the sick and they recover. It's normal to cast out a devil. Oh God, it's normal for a kingdom citizen to live in wealth. Yeah, it's abnormal for a kingdom citizen to have poverty. Take that to the bank. I know, I know you said the poor you have always, but he wasn't talking about kingdom citizens. He was precisely talking about those that wasn't in the kingdom. Yeah, again, you could be religious, go to heaven with holy hands, empty pockets. You can do it and never experience heaven on earth because you won't pursue that higher experience. My time is about gone, y'all. But what are the norms of the kingdom of heaven? What should they be? Again, healing, deliverance, prophecy is normal. Tongues are normal. Listen, we have to understand that we need some social norms that reflect the kingdom of God. I didn't say the church, I said the kingdom. And every church, by the way, should be a kingdom church with kingdom values that promote these social norms. Yeah, Paul called these things the fruit of the Spirit, but they should be social norms. Galatians 5:22-23, love. This love should be a social norm. We should love without dissimulation, without prejudice. But is it? No. And this word love is agape. It's unconditional love, for love alone. And when you got the King in you, you love without prejudice. Joy, social norm. Sheia in Greek literally means profit. Profit, P-R-O-F-I-T. Look it up. It ain't bouncing around with a smile on your face. Of course, if you're profitable, you're gonna have a smile on your face, and you probably do want to bounce around. Glory to God. But this word means to be profitable. Profitable. Come on, man. God doesn't want us living in the red. He wants us living in the black, in profit. Ask a businessman to define profit. He's going to tell you what's left over after the expenses of the business have been paid and covered. Profit. Are y'all hearing this? God have mercy. Patience, kindness, goodness, social norms, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Social norms. Come on, man. Social norms. Social norms. Social norms. These things should be normal. Verses 19 through 21 talks about the works of the flesh. Those things— I don't have time to get into them— should be abnormal. Oh, I gotta hit this one. Last thing: culture manifests itself. Watch this, y'all ain't gonna like this one, but I gotta hit it and I'm gonna close with it. It's a good way to close. As the old preacher would say, I'm getting ready to close. Oh boy. Hallelujah! The kingdom manifests itself, or any culture manifests itself, in the way the people dress. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. How we dress speaks volumes about our values and ideas, as well as how we feel about ourself. All of these things relate to culture. Of course, since Kingdom citizenship and Kingdom citizens are invisible, there is no such thing as a kingdom uniform— hear me— or prescribed way of dress. I need you to hear me. Glory to God. But there is such a thing as a certain demeanor that kingdom citizens are to carry themselves in, and this demeanor identifies them as children of a king. Point in case, if you look at the royal family in England, those children never are dressed badly. We are children of the King of Kings. Come on, man, let's look at Peter's instructions to female citizens of the kingdom, and it equally applies in principle to every citizen, even man. Watch this, it says, your beauty should not come from outward adornment— listen to me— such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry. Hear me, and fine clothes. It says instead it should come up your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. This is 1 Peter 3:3-4. God is saying to us The quality on the inside— here's what he's saying— should create the standard of how we look on the outside. Listen, how you dress, again, says a lot about what's in you and your culture, how you've been cultivated. You go to different areas of the world, people dress different. They dress according to their culture because that's how they've been taught. Listen, in America, people have come to a place where they wear little or no clothes, or at all. It's, it's, it's crazy. And even now, you can walk in some churches, people have no respect even for the house of God. They will wear anything to church. And listen, I'm not legalistic. I will never preach, teach, or tell somebody how to dress. What I am telling you, image is everything. And if you're a child of a king, you need to represent the fact that you are a child of the king. And it starts on the inside because the king is there. And I promise you, as he grows in you and you grow into the fullness of the stature of Christ, it will reflect how you look and take care of yourself on the outside. I gotta quit, y'all. Oh my God, I gotta quit. I hope y'all learned something because I want to pray for y'all. I really want to pray for y'all tonight. Glory to God, I really want to pray for y'all tonight. Glory to Jesus. Thank you, God. I appreciate y'all for joining me. Let's, let's pray. Glory to God. I told y'all And I could pick this up anytime. I, I really, uh, just— I'm just stopping. But we got to create a culture, man. We got to create a culture that when people see us, they see the King. When people can look at us, I can see in you the glory of the King. Hallelujah. Listen, I told you I want to pray and minister to some of you that are on tonight. I believe God is going to release healing, first of all. So if you, if you got a particular prayer request, I want you to type it in the comments. I want to make sure we cover that. But I want to just— somebody watching this live or by replay, live or by replay, I hear you, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. You are suffering in your body with high blood pressure and diabetes and high cholesterol. And they are working a tandem in your life, and you've been given some very serious warnings from your doctor. The Lord said if you would yield yourself to his way of doing things and trust in the power of his kingdom tonight, the Lord says you will be healed instantly even as you listen to the words that are coming out of my mouth right now. So Father, whoever that person or persons is, I decree and declare with your stripes tonight they are healed. Yeah God, I see that there's someone else tonight, you're either on or you're watching by replay, you're facing eviction in the place where you live. Matter of fact, I also see you facing repossession on your vehicle, but the Lord said he's going to give you in the next 7 days a supernatural miracle financially. He's about to open Omance Briska Tabandeko Ruskaba Mayekushka de Bendekoshi. He's about to catch you up, is what he said. He's about to give you infallible proof that he is Jehovah Jireh, the Lord.

Yeah, I see that, Lord. I see that. I see that. Oh my God, there are two people, you're live or by replay, you have contemplated in the last 10 days suicide, and you have— oh my God, but we rebuke the spirit of murder. And the spirit of suicide. And I declare, one, you shall not die but live. And the Lord said, the problems you've been enduring, the abuse in your own house, God said he's bringing you victory and deliverance now. Matter of fact, there's a major move that's about to happen for you immediately. Oh, Shabba, Moko, Riban, Sekesh, I rebuke the spirit of suicide in the name of Jesus. I see that too, God. I rebuke soul ties now in the name of Jesus. Everything that's not like you, I declare victory in Jesus' name. And Father, I pray today that every person that have joined us these 40 days, and some that couldn't join the whole 40 but joined 1 day, 2 days, 10 days However, God, bless them for their efforts, and I pray, God, you will give them infallible proof. Give them a hunger for the things that pertain— yes, Lord, hallelujah— to the kingdom of God. I give you praise, God. Briskalamande oskaya rumbabamama sandelebekoshi. Somebody ought to worship him right now. We give you glory, God. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. Yeah, God, I give you the glory, I give you the glory. There's a woman watching me, you have a son that's in his preteens, 13. 14, 13, 14 age range. I heard the Lord say, mm-hmm, yeah, God's about to do a new thing. He's been rebellious, he has been disobedient, but God said, I'm getting ready to bring him to a place of submission and obedience. And his intelligence that you know he has, Mama, God says is about to emerge. Church, and you're about to see a different student, a different person. It's just going to happen supernaturally. He's going to give you infallible proof. Matter of fact, the boy is about to make a 180-degree turn immediately. And he's going to bring great joy and peace to your life like never before, says the Lord. Thank you, Lord Jesus. We give you praise, God. Thank you for your word. Thank you for the— Amanda. Yeah, I hear that, God. I hear that, God. There's someone watching. Yes, God. This is the season of the shift. See? Yeah, as I heard, I heard it just like that. The season of the shift. And you're a woman. I heard the Lord said this is going to be a season of great exposure for your life, your ministry, your gift. This is a season of the shift. Seems like there's been some imbalance, and I'm looking at people who just really don't understand who you are, and you've been in this lonely state, and for a long time you've been a major giver to others. You pour yourself into others, but God said Yes, Lord, I'm about to redeem you. Yeah, I'm about to repay you for all that you have sown and the tears you've sown. Hallelujah! And the tears you've cried, they've been sown in the Valley of Baca, the valley of fruitfulness. For this is the season of the shift. God said, I'm shifting you into fruitfulness, saith the Lord. Yes, God. Yes, God. You need prayer? Type it in the comments. I want to pray for you personally tonight. Glory to the name. Briskata, bamandolo boku. Yeah, you need some prayer. I'm going to hang around just a few moments, but I want to pray for those of you that want personal prayer. Glory to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Father, we give you praise, briskala mandolo bosiata, for open doors and ways made for your people Glory to God. Yeah, God, I hear that, I hear that, I hear that. I don't know who— I've never seen your name before, but Laqueta Brown, I see it in the comments, I see it on the screen. As I was just praying in the spirit. The Lord said, Michael, tell Laquetta Brown that her life— glory to the name of God— just exited a major whirlwind. You've been in the throes of something and it's had you in this spinning mood, this whirlwind. You've been confused. It seemed like things have been out of balance, but the Holy Spirit said the tell you, LaQuetta, oh my God, that your life has exited the whirlwind. Yes, Lord. And the Lord said, now you're getting ready to take steps of stability into, oh my God, new dimensions. Hear this, watch this, new dimensions of opportunity, new dimensions of finance. Hear me, new dimensions of relationships. The Lord said you cannot hold on to what he's been trying to take. There are some things you've been holding on to and some people that just are not healthy for you. And God said, Laqueta, you got to let it go. Let it go. And he's going to open a major floodgate. Oh my God, that's gonna overtake— oh, Shiba, po, sumandiku! Even now I declare that it overtakes your soul. And I heard the Lord say, in the next 19 days, mark it off on the calendar. That's probably somewhere around June 19th or 20th, but count 19 days from today. God said in 19 days, one, he's gonna visit you He's— and I don't know exactly how, but God said, prepare yourself, isolate yourself, and out of that isolation is going to produce an intimacy that in 19 days, God said, the very— oh my God— trajectory of your life is gonna shift into a new dimension, says the Lord. Lord, I thank you. Oh my, we give you praise, God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Father, I release healing for Bruce Pollard. I decree and declare with your stripes he is completely healed. You are Jehovah Rapha. You are the Lord our healer. Heal Bruce, totally in the name of Jesus. In the name of— Bruce, I heard the Lord say he's about to renew your body as you had in your youth. He's about to give you strength in these days to come like you— oh my God— haven't had in years. And the Lord said, I'm doing this because I want to show you my hand in a greater way, and I have an assignment for you, said the Lord. The Lord said, there are people that you're going to have to touch and minister to, but it's going to require you to be at full strength because you're going to have to do some moving around and you're going to have to deal with some— hallelujah— some some real spirits that you're going to have to challenge in the word. But God said the love that's on your life as you speak, there's going to be freedom. I heard the Lord say, even— oh my God— I'm eliminating every area of chaos in your life, in your body, in your home. No matter where it's trying to rise up, you're going to have peace, said the Lord, in Jesus' mighty name. I gotta go, y'all, but I love you all with the love of the Lord. I love you, I love you, I really do. Listen, I will come on live again tomorrow. I am just grateful anytime I get an opportunity to teach the word. I pray the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow be heavy upon your life. I thank you for listening and taking the time out.

Yes, God, and we thank you for victory in her life. Father, first of all, I'm asking you to fill every void in every empty space and where she is broken right now. For Kamanique, I'm looking at your heart through the lens of the spirit now, and your heart is in a million pieces, but I see the hand of the Lord molding your heart back together and making you whole. The Lord said, stand your ground. The worst thing you can do now is throw in the towel and quit. God said, Michael, tell her I bothered her to make her better. And I'm— oh my God, oh my God— and I'm tugging on this heart I've repaired. But now God says, I'm making you whole right now, and I'm tugging on it because you have a testimony to others.
