Knowing Your Inheritance, Part 3 | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr. | Day 20 of 40 Days of Infallible Proof

Yes, Lord. Yes, Jesus. Ananasaya. We give you praise today, God. Have your way, God. Oramaman satorabamamasyandaya. Well, guys, welcome. Glory to God to day 20. Day 20. Glory to God of 40 days of infallible proof. Listen. We have gotten to the halfway mark. Glory to God. And listen, I am convinced that he is alive like never before, because even in this first half of these 40 days, I have seen a lot of infallible proof, and I'm just convinced like never before. That God is alive and well on the inside of me. And listen, on the inside of you, you just gotta activate what's happening. Listen, if you're just joining us, I need you to share this. Glory to God! Share this encounter. The Bible declares that we are blessed to be a blessing. So I need you— oh, briska talaban setu rakiske tabaya. Briska talabande de bekuski. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. We are blessed to be a blessing. I need you guys to share this for me. Share this encounter right now. Yes, Lord. I thank you. Hallelujah. I thank you, God. God bless you, Bruce. Welcome. Glory to God. Yes, thank you, Lord. And healing and deliverance is the children's bread. He sent his word, Bruce, and it healed them. Listen, guys, I need you to do me the kind favor and share this experience, please. We're gonna get started in just a few moments, but we want to get this word out. I know I missed a few days, and like I said, we have been locked in, glory to God, and focused on a few things, um, in particular One of my mothers in Zion, glory to God, just a blessed woman. And we were praying and praying and praying, but she transitioned this weekend, and we're going to bury her this coming Sunday. And yeah, we know that she's with Jesus now, and she lived an amazing life as a general. But we never want sickness to be the reason why someone leaves the planet. So we were praying and praying, and we believe As she transitioned, she transitioned whole and in peace. And so we're grateful for that. God is good. Amen. And she's with Jesus now. And so we're thankful and grateful for that. Listen, I need you guys to stay with me this second half. Again, I am committed to these next 20 days teaching every single day the word of the Lord to you at 12 noon. I'm committed to praying at 5 a.m. every single day. Uh, we're gonna lock in and we're gonna get this done. We're gonna finish with joy and we're gonna finish with power. So I need you to join in with me. Listen, I need you to text right now 40 DAYS to the number 6877-638-7285. A matter of fact, I'll put it on the screen where it can scroll across the bottom of the screen for you. But yes, I need you to text that number. Glory to God! So that you can praise the name of God, make sure that you're in the loop every single day. We're fasting every day, midnight to 3, every single day. So we want you to join in, and we're looking for infallible proof. Glory to God. I'm glad that you're here. If you're here, tag somebody at the bottom. Please share this. Glory to God. We're going to get into this teaching today. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for another opportunity again to share your word. Your Bible declares that healing and deliverance is the children's bread, and that you sent your word and it healed them. So many in our society are broken, either physically, emotionally, or spiritually, Lord. So I decree and declare today, by the power of your anointing and your anointed word, God, that we will see manifested healing and deliverance. We will receive the testimonies of great healing that comes through your word. And we give you praise. What we thank you for, infallible proof. You said in Acts 1 and 3 that after your passion, you showed yourself alive 40 days with infallible proof, and you taught the things that pertain to the kingdom. We align ourselves in congruency with that Spirit with those acts, God. And we decree and declare as we do it through our praying, through our fasting, through our teaching the kingdom, that we will see infallible proof in our faith, in our finances, and in our families. And we thank you for it now. Now, Lord, give us the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost today as we teach your word. In Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Hallelujah. I love the Lord, man. The Lord is so wonderful. Glory to God. I'm telling you, stay with me, guys. Do me the kind favor, please share, please share, please share. This word is going to be absolutely phenomenal today. Listen, you want to get every bit of this today. Glory to God. You don't want to miss none of it. Glory to God. Share. Welcome everybody. Glory to God. God bless you, Apostle Taylor. Good to see you. Glory to the name of God. Happy late Mother's Day to you. Glory to the name of God. I pray you had an awesome weekend this past weekend, and I pray that the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow to you will continue to rest on your life and ministry. Thank you for being here with us today. Listen, I love all of you. We're gonna get into this again. This is day 20, and this is part 9 for— so we've been teaching a lot for the last 20 days, but this particular section of the teaching is part 9 of what we're calling Kingdom Heirs. Glory to God. And just by way of review, guys, we have learned that we are number one heirs of God. We've learned that we're joint heirs with Jesus Christ. We've also learned that we're heirs of everything, and we're heirs of everything now. We've also— and I'm not going to teach these again, they're all on my timeline, go back and listen to them, you need to understand this. Then we also started out teaching on— we taught 3 intense lessons on the characteristics of the king. It is impossible for you to understand the power of kingdom and what's available to you if you don't understand the character and the disposition of your king. And so we took our time and systematically disseminated the word around the king. So glory to God, I need you today to stay with me. So last time we started talking about knowing your inheritance. And so we went— because again, we're just reading the will. The Bible, and I brought this out before, is the old will and the new will. I shared with you before, I never have had the pleasure of going to the reading of a will because most of the people in my family They never really left wheels. They left bills. But, but the reality is we need to understand we are a part of a royal family. We are part of the wealthiest family in the world. When you got born again, you became connected to the family that controls the universe, that controls the earth. And you got a right to everything. Hear me. Your king has. Glory to God, we give you praise. Glory to God for the rights and privileges we have in the king. So we start reading in the Old Testament again. Go back, and I'm just going to give you briefly what's in our inheritance in the Old Testament. So we read in the Old Testament, my God, number one, that we inherit the throne of glory. Now watch this, we're heirs of this stuff again. Now we don't have to wait till we die and get to heaven to get this. We're heirs to the throne of glory now. You gotta go back and watch that last teaching. We're heirs to the nations now. Glory to God. We're heirs to the Lord now. We're heirs to the earth now. We're heirs to the land now. We're heirs to wealth now. We're heirs to protection now. So we learned that. In the will, the old will, the last will and Old Testament last time. Today we're going to look through and read the will. Glory to God. Hallelujah. In the New Testament and see what's available to us. So stay with me, take good notes. And again, guys, please do me a favor and share this teaching. I need you to share it. Glory to God. I need you to share it. Glory to God. Share it. Let's pack this out today because people need to know what's available to them as kingdom citizens. As they align themselves in proper order with kingdom living, they have access to these things now. So let's read Ephesians 1:18 again. We read it last time, but we want to read it again. Glory to God. The Bible declares this, praise God, hallelujah. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of his calling. Oh boy, and what the riches of the glory, hear this, glory to God. Thank you, Apostle Taylor, God bless you, I appreciate that. Glory to God. Huh, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance is in the saints. Listen to me. God says, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened, that you may know— and we broke this down in the last message— he wants you to have absolute knowledge, orda in Greek, about what's yours and what's the hope of his calling in you. And your eyes have to pop open with light so that you can eliminate it. Oh my God, the toxic systems and the toxic culture that has been embedded in you about what you think is right. So God says, I need to enlighten you so you won't live beneath your privilege anymore. So today, again, that's what we're doing. We're enlightening— we're going to enlighten The eyes, hear me, of your understanding. Praise God. We're going to enlighten the eyes of your understanding. That's what we want to do today, okay? We want to enlighten you, and we're going to do it by reading the New Will. Old Will, New Will. So we got two wills and testaments that make things really available. And listen, let me tell you something. I just pulled some stuff out that the Holy Spirit gave me for this teaching, but this is not an exhaustive list. You will read the Bible consistently and find things that I'm not going to give you today that are a part of your inheritance. But I'm going to give you some important things that I believe you need to have, and then pretty much everything else kind of falls in line with these things I'm going to give you. All right, so the first thing we inherit is the kingdom. Whoa, let's read Matthew 25:34. Somebody type that on the screen for me. Matthew 25:34. Somebody type it on the screen. Saints, y'all help me out today. Matthew 25:34. The Bible says this, and I'm reading out of the NIV first. It says, then the king will say to those on his right, come, you who are blessed by my Father, listen, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. So wait a minute, the kingdom is established for God to rule, watch this, but for you and I to enjoy. I'll say that again. The kingdom, the basileia in Greek, God's authority, God's rule, God's resources. Yes, God's light, God's illumination, God's intelligence, God's splendor. All these things encompass the kingdom. So notice I said in there his resources, his wealth. Oh my God, his riches. We have a right to everything that the kingdom has. Now watch this. When you got born again, you were moved from— oh my God— a lower level of existence as a human into a right place with God. You're now on the right side. Oh my God. And God said, because you're on the right side, what I have done, I brought my entire kingdom with me. For you, my kingdom citizens, to get an inheritance and enjoy. Listen to me, guys. God says, I want you to get this inheritance and I want you to enjoy it. It's yours. Okay, let me read it out of Amplified Bible, the B-Claw, so you can kind of just see the transliteration of words here. The Bible says, same scripture, Matthew 25:34, It says inherit. Watch this. Receive as your own. So when you inherit something, you take ownership of it. So, oh my God. So the kingdom is ours. I dare you touch yourself right now and say the kingdom is mine. And so there's no reason for you to live beneath your privilege, for you to lack resources, for you to lack buildings, for you to lack equipment, for you— oh my God— for you to lack clients in your business, for you to lack things in your home. Home. God says you got access to the kingdom. Oh boy. And remember our reasons for teaching this. Number 1 is to renew your mind that you are a kingdom heir. Number 2, to show you what's available to you as a kingdom heir. And number 3, to show you how to bring these things into your life. We're in the stage now of renewing our mind and learning what's available. That's why you got to stay with me the rest of this way in these last 20 days of these 40 days of Infallible Proof, because we're going to begin to unpack— matter of fact, as early as the next teaching, really this week— how to pull this stuff into our life. Oh my God. Oh my God, I need you to grab this, man. Okay, okay, okay, okay. He said, inherit, receive it as your own, the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. So before you were even born, before you got in your mama's belly, so you don't have to work for this. This is a reward. The kingdom is a reward, not an award. A word is recognition for work you've done. The Academy Awards, a Grammy, a Stellar— those are awards for performances or things that have been done well. Well, a reward is based on favor. So the very fact that the efficacious, vicarious, substitutionary blood of Jesus has cleansed your life and redeemed you from the curse of the law 'Cause everything bad is under the curse. Oh, poverty is under the curse. Debt is under the curse. Sickness is under the curse. Being broke is under the curse. So God says, I've delivered you from the curse of the law. Everything bad is under the curse, and I brought you into right standing, so now you can receive what's yours. Let's go to Romans 14 in verse 17. I need somebody to type it on the screen for me. Romans 14. Verse 17. Again, we have inherited the kingdom. Let's look at this. Listen, the Bible says the kingdom of God— again, not the, the kingdom of God, the basilia, the resources, the riches, the reign, the royal state, the light, the illumination, the intelligence. Oh my God, the wealth and the splendor of God, God's authority, the territory of God. All of those things encompass the kingdom. He says the kingdom is not meat and drink. So the kingdom is not about partying, partying, and watch this, and gathering material things. Let me tell you something. The Bible is not— I said this Sunday when I was teaching our church, we talked about kingdom worship on Sunday. And listen, God instructed me not to go live Sunday because we need to lay some foundation in the house concerning worship. But what I want to do, if you really want to be a true worshiper, I want to share that teaching with you. And so if you text, or if you're already on the text list for Rhoda Church, text Rhoda Church. Listen, text Rhoda Church, glory to God, to 877-638-7285. I'll run it across the screen again. Glory to God. If you would text that, I'll send you the audio, glory to God, of Sunday's teaching. Because we talked really in detail about how worship ties into our inheritance. And we got to make sure we're actually worshiping. And there are a lot of people who attempt at worship— hear me— and never worship. And we talked about why that is so. So because people fall in love with the vehicle that gets us to the destination and we don't really love the destination. The destination of all worship should be God. So, but we fall in love with the songs, we fall in love with the instruments, we fall in love with gathering together to do it. And most people never reach God in the process. Oh, it's a great teaching. You, you want it in your library. Glory to God. But I didn't go live because God said it, and so we didn't, right? We didn't go live, right? So you can have it if you want it. Just do what I asked, text that, and we'll make sure you get the audio Listen, the kingdom is not meat and drink. It's not gathering material goods. It's not carnal, is what he's saying. It's a spiritual kingdom. It's a real kingdom. Watch this. It is. But it is righteousness is being right. Diosune in Greek. Watch this. Righteousness. Diosune. Oh my God. It is. It literally means right standing and state, which means the state of your spiritual being. Is right because of the blood of Jesus, right? The— okay, I don't have time to teach that, but the reality is the blood did all the work it needed to do for saving you. So when you get born again, bam, the blood works immediately. But there still has to be a standing, which is your current— hallelujah— life in the kingdom. So after you get saved, you got to continue in your standing through behavior. Oh my God, spiritual behavior, or pneumaticos in Greek. Oh my God, it literally means to live yielded to the Holy Ghost. So I really can't have true righteousness. Oh my God, I really can't have true righteousness until I yield totally to the Holy Ghost. That's why you need the Holy Ghost. That's why you can't just stop at Penta— oh my God, at Calvary, excuse me— and get pardoned for your sins. You got to go to Pentecost and get some power. Yeah, because when you get power, you can maintain your standing, oh my God, by living under the leadership and the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah. But again, Romans 14:17, it is righteousness and peace. Peace. This word is so powerful. Okay, so this word in Greek, it doesn't mean the absence— in Greek and Hebrew, actually, shalom and euritos, both of these words in Greek and Hebrew literally mean the presence of assistance, which means you're not in this by yourself. God is with you. So when you get confused and start freaking out and frustrated and worried, it means you're not listening to the Holy Ghost. It means you're not allowing the Holy Ghost to give you assistance. Or maybe you don't have him. Yeah, you got to receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Oh my God, here, good God from Zion. And there are so many people that do not have it. You got to keep the standing so you can get the inheritance. All right, so listen, God says, I have given you the kingdom. That's the first thing we have inherited. It's yours. Touch yourself and say, the kingdom is mine. Take ownership of it. It's yours. All right, number 2. Oh boy, I love this one. Oh boy, here we go. I've— Lord, I gotta— I don't have a lot of time, but I hope— hopefully I get through this. But this is a lot right here. Go to Romans 4:13. Romans 4:13. Somebody type it on the screen for me. Romans 4:13. Now the Bible says— this is the English Standard Version. Listen. It says, for the promise to Abraham and his offspring that he would be heir of the world did not come through the law, but watch this, but through the righteousness of faith. Oh my God, there it is again, through the diasuni, the right state and standing in God that happens through faith, the pistos, the absolute confidence and persuasion and reliance in God the King. So God says, through my absolute total confidence and reliance in him as King, he says he has given me righteousness. He's given me right standing, right state. I can walk it out because of my relationship with him. Listen, the scripture declares that through that I become an heir of the world. That's why kingdom citizens, hear me, ought to be ruling. Hey baby, that's my wife. God bless you, woman. Love you. Listen, we ought to be, oh my God, running the world. And y'all heard me— if anybody's listened to me teach, you've heard me say this before, and then the number just keeps getting worse. But oh my God, 97% of all Americans work for the other 3%, and of that 3%, about 0.09% are born again. These are real numbers, real empirical data that has been gathered and proven. So the 3% that's controlling the wealth and the world are people that's not even in the kingdom, and that's a dangerous piece. So this is why we got to take our righteous place in the world, claim our inheritance of the world and all of the kingdoms of the world. We got to find our place in— I talked about this last time, so I'm not going to reteach it, but you got to find your, your place in one of the kingdoms of the world and conquer. Listen, religion is a kingdom of the world. The Bible is not a religious book. The church is not supposed to be a religious church, but we got to conquer the kingdom of religion and show religion real encounters with God, real encounters with the kingdom. Education is a kingdom. We need teachers and principals and administrators in that kingdom to take over that kingdom where the kingdom principles can be lived out in the education kingdom. The government is a kingdom. We need kingdom president. We need a kingdom mayor. We need kingdom governors. We don't need governors that's going to push the lesbian agenda, the polygamy agenda. We don't need that. We need somebody that's going to stand under the auspices of the Constitution, of the Bible, and the influence of the Holy Ghost. Oh my God, I'm not going to get into this stuff about Roe versus Wade right now because I got a whole teaching on that and how they going through. And you got a lot of preachers jumping on the bandwagon Speaking their, their truth. But I got something to say about that, but I'm not going to say it today because it's going— I'll just go a whole nother way. But I need you to understand, if we had kingdom people in the government kingdom, my God, a lot of the things that are happening like homosexual marriage, lesbian marriage, polygamy is being lobbied for now. And it's going to start— you're going to start seeing the legality of multiple wives across the United States if we don't pray and if we don't sow into saved kingdom lobbyists. Oh my God, we got to plant seed into kingdom lobbyists who will go to Washington as missionaries and lobby to defend the Constitution. This is too much for some of y'all because y'all just want to have good church. And you want to listen to popular preachers preach, and all they want to do is stroke you and not push you into a place where you can change the world. See, we can't reap a harvest in a kingdom where we have not sown. Ah, and I'm not talking about money, I'm talking about sowing your kingdom gift. Most of you have kingdom gifts for entrepreneurship where you need to be conquering the economic kingdom. You have kingdom gifts. Oh my God, oh my God, for the entertainment kingdom. And you need to be sowing those gifts in that kingdom so we can reap a harvest, so we could take over those kingdoms. So when Revelation declares the kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord and Christ— God ain't coming back to set the kingdom up, he's coming back to sit on his throne and rule. That's why we got work to do. We gotta stop playing games, man, and claim our inheritance, because part of our inheritance— oh my God— is the world. Oh, and if you're not conquering and you're just having good church, you should take an introspective and check yourself. Ah, okay, I'm gonna keep moving, I'm gonna keep moving because y'all don't like that. But we inherit the world. What is the world, Michael? The word— the Greek word for the— for world is cosmos. It's where we get words like cosmopolitan, and it means the arrangement, the order, the government. Watch this: the adornment, the decoration, the inhabitants, and the human family. So as saints, we, we should be inheriting even humans into the kingdom so that they come in and serve the king. But if we don't be a light and an example and teach them the ways of the kingdom, they're not going to come in. And if all we're concerned about is being popular over being powerful— and oh my God, falsetto church growth, not real church growth, but falsetto church growth— because real church growth is new souls being converted. And he added to the church daily such as would be saved. I am believing God in my local church where I have been called to pastor for 200 new souls converted in 2022. That's my belief. That's the infallible proof I've got on the altar for these 40 days. And I'm believing God it's gonna happen. If Peter could preach about the kingdom on the day of Pentecost and 5,000 get saved in one day, God can give us 200 in one year. New souls, new converts. But you got to have a sense of revival and kingdom that flows through your life and ministry that draws people to God and not icons. Oh, I don't have time, I don't have time. So we inherit the kingdom. Number 2, we inherit the world. Number 3. Oh my God, we're reading the will, y'all. Hallelujah! Look at Titus 3, verses 6 and 7. Oh my God, thank you, Lord. We have inherited the world. I, I don't know why the Holy Spirit— we're gonna get, get the Titus, but let me say this right quick. Even the wealth of the wicked that's laid up for the just That's worldly wealth, a worldly system or arrangement of wealth. That wealth needs to be transferred into the hands of the rightful owners. It's yours, it's mine, and we need it to advance the kingdom. But it can't be transferred if you ain't in the right place to receive it. Oh boy, in order for the transfer to take place You have to be in position. The transfer has to be initiated. I transfer money a lot from stock accounts, portfolios, from bank accounts, just transferring money. Many of you do it, Cash App. You cannot do it without the apparatus, the app being in place, or without initiating the transfer through putting in the right information. You gotta initiate the transfer so that things that rightfully belong to you can actually come to you. Oh boy, I'm— I gotta go. Titus 3, verses 6 and 7. Somebody type it on the screen for me, please, guys, please. I don't want to bore you. I'm almost done. We, according to Titus 3:6 and 7, number 3 have inherited eternal life. The Bible says he generously poured out the Spirit upon us. Glory to God! Through Jesus Christ our Savior. Hallelujah! Because of his grace, he declared us righteous and gave us parrhesia— in Greek, confidence— that we will inherit eternal life. Listen, eternal life is both quantity and quality of life. Listen, it's eternal life forever with Jesus, even after we die, and it's the quality of life we live here on Earth. Oh my God, oh my God, wait a minute, understand me. The quality of life you live here on Earth Whoa, whoa, Lord have mercy. Should be free of sickness, should be free of disease, because that's eternity superimposing itself on your human life. So according to the text, you can have eternity on earth. You can live in an eternal state of a quality of life that suggests You are living in the eternal realm. Oh, this is too much for somebody, but I need you to get it because you want to make excuses for your sickness. You want to make excuses for being broke. You want to make excuses for coming short. But the reality is, if you really believe the Bible and you're going to live out the tenets of scripture, you got to accept the reality that God wants to superimpose eternity on you. While you on Earth. Watch this, so that sickness ain't the reason you die. Oh my God, that's not the will of God. Stop saying at funerals and homegoings that sickness was the reason somebody left. That's murder when sickness kills somebody. And they die before their purpose is complete. Now, my spiritual mom, Mother Geraldine Moss, she just passed. I was fighting so that she would move into a place of peace and healing before she transitioned. That happened, right? The reality is though, she was tired, she was finished with her course. That's different. But— and God was ready to receive her. Listen, You got to understand something though. You 45, 50, 55, 60, and you die of sickness. That's murder. That's not God bringing you home. Come on, we got to take responsibility for this and watch this, take care of ourselves and allow eternity to superimpose itself on our physical bodies. Boy, we don't like this kind of teaching right here, I'm telling you. It's okay though, it's okay. Ah, it's okay because I'm trying to help you, man. You gotta live out eternity on Earth, heaven on Earth. Listen, can I let you in on a secret? I will. The only difference— let me lean into the camera real close— the only difference between heaven and earth. Hallelujah! Oh God, is that— heaven is in another location, but everything in heaven is actually on earth too. What makes heaven heaven is God. We got gold on Earth, and if you got enough of it, you can make you some streets of gold if you wanted to. Come on, church! We got rivers, we got trees, we got God. So if I got God, who represents eternity in me, then I should be able to have eternity or heaven on earth. Ah, oh boy! Oh my God, we got it! That's right, man, we gotta live out eternity right here on earth. Serious business, guys. God says, I want you to have it. I want the leaves of the trees in heaven is for the healing of the nation. Well, we have Jehovah Rapha that empowers that healing in us. So when we let eternity rest in us— oh y'all, okay, whatever, whatever, let me move, let me move, uh, whatever, whatever. I got, I gotta do y'all like my son Apostle Brandon Cornelius, whatever, right? Okay, Hebrews 1 and verse 4, somebody type it on the screen. Hebrews 1 4. So we've covered we inherit the kingdom, we inherit the world, we inherit eternal life. And Hebrews 1:4— wait a minute— we inherit the name. Oh, we inherit the name of Jesus. Glory to God! We inherit the name of Jesus. Glory to Jesus, my God, today! Are y'all here? Okay, let's read Hebrews 1:4. The Bible says, is being made so much better than the angels. Wait a minute, so do you realize that you're made better than angels. Angels are actually your employees. They are ministering spirits created to enforce the covenant of God's word and God's plan for your life. Angels are actually another inheritance for kingdom citizens. So God created the angels for worship in heaven, but for work in the earth. They are spiritual entities designed to bring to pass the covenant of God's word in our lives. Oh, whoo! Well, have y'all shared this yet? Somebody share this, glory to God. I'm sorry, I just want y'all to share it because you know what? This teaching is rich, glory to God. It's rich. Share this experience, please. Glory to God. I need you to grab this, y'all. Oh, but stay with me, stay with me, stay with me, stay with me. Heaven moving through us on earth and angels working for us. As he have by inheritance— watch this— obtained a more excellent name than they. So we have taken on the name of Jesus, and that's what makes us greater than angels, and that's what employs angels to us so that they can carry out the promises of God on earth in our life. Oh, the Bible says in Psalm that angels hearken to the voice of thy word. So every time I confess the word out of mouth and pray the word, angels, bam, they show up in the name of Jesus, and they go to enforce that word on my behalf. That is good stuff, man. Y'all got a lot of angels just sitting around drinking coffee because you ain't employing them. You praying and ain't putting your angels to work. Glory to God. And some of you, perhaps maybe this is your first time hearing this, but I want you to understand It's in the Bible, and you need to put your angels to work. They are your ministering spirit. They are— you have angels assigned to your life. I'm going to do a whole teaching in the future on angels alone, but I want you to understand they have a purpose. And because we have inherited a more excellent name, they work for us. Let's look at Philippians 2 and verse 9. Come on, church! Philippians 2, verse 9. Glory to God! God bless you, Tina. Welcome. Glory to God. Listen, Philippians 2 and verse 9 says this. It says, wherefore God, listen, hath highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow. Oh my God. Of things in heaven and things in earth and things under the earth And that every tongue should confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of the Father. So we've inherited the name of the King when we got born again. So just think about if you were born into the Rockefeller family. The moment you come to the planet in the Rockefeller family, you're automatically rich. You're born with— you're wealthy. You're born with a silver spoon in your mouth. You're never going to want for anything physically. Now, can I say this to you in all seriousness? The moment you got born again, you were born into the richest family to ever exist, and you immediately had a right to everything the name of Jesus has— the power, the wealth, the spiritual stability. The heavens, the resources. Everything that Jesus has, you have because you're born into his family. And this ain't just good preaching and teaching, y'all. Come on, man, this is reality. This is scripture. All right, let me keep reading. Mark 16, verses 17 and 18. Somebody type it on the screen for me. Mark 16 Verses 17 and 18, the Bible says this: And these signs shall follow them that believe. Oh boy. Touch yourself and say, I'm one of them because I believe. Say it again, say I'm one of them because I believe. And these signs shall follow them that believe. Oh boy. Mark 16:17-18. This is where we are. The Bible declares it. It says, in my name— there it is, we inherit the name— they shall cast out devils. Listen, let me say something, you guys. Deliverance is a real thing in the church. Casting out devils should happen. Glory to God. Many have never been privileged to see a devil cast out. I've cast out many in my life, and I've had them cast out of me because that's the culture I was exposed to. Deliverance is real, and when you operate in the name of Jesus, demons have to bow. Demons have to flee, and many people are still struggling in lifestyles— glory to God— that are not godly because they have devils that need to be cast out, and they're making excuses for their weakness. Glory to God. They're making excuses for their sin, and they're playing the grace card when really what you need is deliverance. Because sin— we learned this Sunday in Kingdom Worship. You better get that. I'm telling you, you better get that teaching. Text the number that's scrolling across the bottom of the screen. Glory to God. Or, or go to rhodochurch.com and email us and say, hey, send me Kingdom Worship. We're going to send it to you because again, we didn't go live and we want to make sure everybody that wants it wants it. Because the message Sunday, it was for the house, and you just got to know when it's for the house. But for those that want to tap into worship, I feel compelled by the Holy Ghost to offer it to you because we do have the audio. So listen, you mess up worship, you mess up your inheritance when you operating in sin. Sin separates you from God. You, you don't have a pure environment. Oh God, help us today. Help us, man. Help us. God wants us to operate in purity, man. Purity. God wants the ideal environment for our life to be his presence. And when sin is in our life, he can't be there because he's holy. So you need to deal with your demons and get deliverance. And if your preacher has no power, you need to find somebody that has some power and get those devils cast out of you. He said live in the devil, he said cast the devil out. He didn't say live with it. And in Jesus' name, we can— hallelujah— have demons released from our life and we can be set free. My God, today he said you'll take up serpents. Now this ain't being ignorant, but if you look at the word serpents in Greek, the Greek word literally means you'll take up systems and structures, evil systems and structures. That's what the idea the writer was, because there are a lot of serpent structures, evil structures that rule the world. And I was talking about that earlier—structures of religion, structures of education, evil structures of government and entertainment and economics, structures that we should take up in the name of Jesus and take control of. He said we shall take those up and take them over. Yeah. And if you drink any deadly thing, if somebody tries to poison you, hallelujah. If you drink something that could kill you accidentally This don't mean be a fool and say, okay, I'm gonna test and see if I got it and drink some poison. That's not what it's saying. It's saying if by chance you do, if it's right there, if he said it won't hurt you. And here's what I love. You shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall recover. I believe the scripture. I have stretched forth my hands on many occasions in the last 35 years. And I've seen God heal. It wasn't me. That's what God is saying. You do it in my name. You stretch forth your hand and let God perform the miracle. Touch yourself and say, I'm one of them. I'm one of them. He wants to do it through you. You've inherited the name of Jesus. Use it. It's a part of your inheritance. Oh my God. Oh, it's a part of your inheritance. Like, next time somebody call you sick, don't get upset. I got a report last night, somebody I love really dearly sick. I mean, and, and shouldn't have this kind of sickness in her body. I got high blood pressure and gotta, gotta get weight off. Glory to God. And, and when I heard the news, first thing in my spirit was, in the name of Jesus, I rebuke it. And, and as soon as I see her again, I'm gonna lay my hands on her and declare her healing in Jesus' name. Because at the end of the day, we have to believe that we have inherited the name of Jesus. It's not us. This is why a lot of times we pray for people and they don't get healed, because we think we're doing it. And it's never you, it's him. You stretch forth your hand and God provides the miracle. That's the formula. Stretch forth your hand in the name of Jesus, and God will provide the miracle. I'll say it again: stretch forth your hand in the name of Jesus, and God will provide the miracle. Just that simple, ladies and gentlemen. Just that simple. Oh my God. Hallelujah. I gotta get out of here, man. Number 5, let's go. Number 5. So we've already covered— we're reading the will, we're knowing our inheritance, the kingdom, the world. We've inherited eternal life, we've inherited the name of Jesus. Number 5, we have inherited salvation. Salvation is an inheritance. It's a privilege to be saved. Oh my God, do you realize that everybody won't be saved? The scripture declared that you were chosen. Listen, you ought to worship and rejoice in Jesus every time you think about this, because you were chosen before the foundation of the world to be saved, to be holy, to be righteous, to receive this inheritance. Salvation is a part of your inheritance. While many people are saying there is no hell, I'm telling you right now, there is a hell. And if you're not saved, you are going. If you have not received salvation in the Lord Jesus Christ, you are going. Let's break down what that means. All right, Hebrews 1:14. Somebody Type it on your screen. Please type it on your screen. Hebrews 1:14 says, "Aren't they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" I'm in these Hebrews dialogues about angels because I'm working on this angel series, y'all. But this particular verse is talking about angels being ministering spirits, serving spirits who are— and just in case you didn't believe me earlier when I said angels are sent for to work on your behalf, you are the heirs of salvation. Wait a minute, so what are they working? Just getting us saved, getting us to heaven? No, no, they're working on way more than that, because that's— because guess what? Salvation is more than getting saved. The Greek word is soteria. Soteria. And there's a, there's a term called soteriology. It's the study of salvation. Soteriology, uh, one of the courses I took in school. Soteriology is a study, glory to God, of salvation. Understand this: soteriology deals with the idea that salvation encompasses a consistent saving or rescuing— watch this— from the system or the ways of the world. And God uses the words systems and structures a lot because he understands in order to be truly spiritual, there has to be deliverance from old systems old structures. And this is why the apostolic anointing, like, that's on my life and on many others' lives— there's a lot of people that really carry this office who come to break those systems in your life and help you live correctly and live in the realm of your privilege and honor. So you gotta be rescued consistently from things after you confess your sin. You can't just get saved on a Friday night and get filled with the Holy Ghost and not do anything else. You're ever learning and coming into knowledge of truth according to the scripture. You're continuing to matriculate through this thing called kingdom life, and you got to allow yourself to continue to matriculate through it. Okay, so God ministers through his angels for us. Watch this. Soteria. It's a— it's, it's one of our privileges. It's our inheritance. It's what belongs to us. Soteria is deliverance. It's perseverance, which means it's keeping. So God will keep you. Some of you don't understand how you made it through certain things, but it was salvation, baby. It was the soteria of God. That was preserving you and keeping you when you wanted to kill yourself, when you wanted to quit, when you wanted to give up. Oh my God, I could just speak for myself. When I wanted to throw in the towel, it was salvation that threw the towel back. Ah yeah, I done threw the towel in and God threw it back. But the reason he threw it back was because of salvation was preserving me. Because I was called to be saved. I was called kletos in Greek, to be an heir of salvation. So he said, even though you want to quit, you can't quit. Even though you want to stray off to the right and the left, I ain't gonna let you, because I am keeping you in purity. I'm keeping you in power. I am preserving you. Oh God, today— oh, shut up! Yes God, yes God. Thank you Jesus. I gotta get out of here. It's safety. Oh my God, salvation. Excuse me, sinuses. Salvation is safety. It's safety, which means you're protected. God blocked things that would have took you out. He stopped things that would have destroyed you. He keeps us safe through salvation. It is our inheritance. Wait a minute, inside of salvation is also good health. That's soteria. So God is a part of his plan to keep us healed, to keep us whole, to keep us delivered and free. To keep our bodies well. Receive your salvation in its fullness. Don't just be religious, get all of it, get all of it. I gotta go. God delivers us out of destruction into his safety. That's what salvation is. Watch this, it's also prosperity. Inside of salvation is prosperity. It's not just getting saved again. You in inherit everything that's God's. So how can you not prosper if you believe that? See, you'll never receive it if you don't believe it. I just want you to understand that you gotta believe it. And you can listen to everybody else and tell you, oh no, the poor you have with you always. And guess what? That's what you're going to be. But that's not God's plan for you. Oh my God, hallelujah! That's right, Apostle McClendon, you cannot get saved and be filled with the Holy Ghost and do absolutely nothing. You gotta do something. You gotta work because you are on assignment. That's good stuff, Apostle. That's the truth. Listen, so we inherit the kingdom, the world, eternal life, the name of Jesus, salvation. Number 6, I'm almost done, stay with me. I'm a little over my time. Y'all stay with me. Don't go, stay with me. The Bible says in Hebrews 6:12, somebody type it on the screen, Hebrews 6:12. The Bible says that you be not slothful. A sloth is a bird, uh, it's an African bird actually that sleeps upside down and never flies, never really feeds itself. It waits for food to come to it. It's very lazy bird. So many people, because they're not connected to the promises of God, are operating in a spirit of slothfulness. They look at everything in life upside down. They don't have a right side up perspective of things that pertain to the kingdom of God. They're looking at the world upside down. They're looking at the world upside down when it comes to their healing, their deliverance, their breakthroughs. They're looking at things backwards, and they're too lazy because they're sloths to change the trajectory by doing the work necessary to change their perspective. Listen, you are what you see, you are what you behold, and if you focus on something long enough, you become it. And many of you have focused on bad systems through upside-down perspectives for so long, you can't see things right side up. My God, my God. It says that you be not slothful, but followers of them— say, I'm one of them— who through faith and patience inherit the promises. Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. He says through faith and patience. Wow. Faith is pistos in Greek, again, to be totally reliant and absolutely confident in the King and his way of operating. So you are totally reliant on God, not you, not yourself. You rely on him. If you missed the message I taught two weeks ago Sunday on Kingdom Faith, go back and watch it because I really broke down how to walk out Bible faith. And the reality is, Bible faith says I am dependent on God and his word. I trust the integrity of his word. I depend on him. Oh God, my God, today he says through faith and— oh boy. Patience. You gotta have some patience because it doesn't happen overnight. You gotta choose to get on the journey and grow and develop. You'll inherit the promises. So this is number 6: we inherit the promises of God. Oh my God, go to 2 Peter. 1 and 4. Whoo! Somebody type it on the screen. Glory to God. 2 Peter 1:4. The Bible said, whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises. So wait a minute, so the promises that have been given to us are exceeding, which means they are above and beyond anything we have or have seen. They are precious. They're— watch this— they're invaluable. You cannot put a price tag on these promises. Watch this: that by these you may be partakers— whoo— of a divine nature. Wait a minute, so we're heirs to great and precious promises, exceeding great and precious promises, and what these promises do is they make us partakers. Oh my God! Of divine nature. I dare you say this with me. Say, I am a partaker of divine nature. Do you know what that's saying? You are a partaker of the nature of God. So anytime you receive the promise of God and you walk out a promise in your life and you see it manifested, you've just experienced God's nature. So why not live your life totally walking out the promises and not in your flesh? Because if you do that— oh my God— because if you do that, Jesus the Christ, Son of the Living God, if you do that, you'll be a partaker all the time. Of God's nature. That's why I never react to things in my flesh. There's a season in my life I have, and back here a few years back, 2013, 2014, I went through something. I went through a major attack against my life, my character, my ministry, and I wanted to react to that in my flesh. It was all over the internet. People were sharing it like crazy, just foolishness, man. But to date, I haven't retaliated, and I never will, because the Spirit of the Lord simply said to me, vengeance is mine, said the Lord. It was a God, and I held my peace. I walked out Exodus 14:14 that said, the Egyptians you see today, you'll see them no more, for I the Lord will fight for you. And you got to learn in maturity how to walk that out. And you know what? Doing that, I took on another part of the nature of God because that Southwest Atlanta hood negro wanted to emerge. I'm telling you, I— what I wanted to do wasn't godly at all, but I had to pray. Matter of fact, I left town, locked myself in a hotel room for 3 days. And laid before God because I needed to. Because adversity will teach you what you believe. And that was a real adverse time for me because there was a lot happening. I was on the pinnacle of— I had a couple deals with my book that I was in the middle of negotiating. I was actually, uh, on a lot of major meetings I was getting ready to preach that people call major, right? So yeah, so at the end of the day, and it could have been, you know, I've been preaching full-time for a long time, so I'm really— and, and some of the people that I was on to preach for, I had preached for before, and it was all good. But of course, when people saw that and word got out, and even it was one person that had so much venom, they were sharing it with the people, it was looking on my page, everybody, everywhere I was inviting preach, they was emailing the crap to my pastor— not my pastor, but to the pastor that was going to host me. And I was getting cancellation after cancellation. And again, you know, I've been— I'm full-time in ministry. That was livelihood. But God said, don't retaliate. I'mma show you how to be a partaker of divine nature. And you know, in that season, God sent me some good friends who were just on my team who encouraged me and who prayed for me and prayed with me. And I'll never forget any of them in my life because at the end of the day, they were solid. Because that's how you know who's really with you— people who stand with you regardless to what you're facing. But, and that even in itself is a part of divine nature, having close relationships that stick with you closer than a brother, just like Jesus. All right, this is too much. Let's keep moving. The Bible said you become partakers of divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. So lust is not just about sex, but you can be drawn away to anything that causes you to miss the mark. Glory to God. That causes you to come short of the things of God because, oh boy, you're lusting to be a part of that. Oh, you're lusting to be popular. You're lusting for fame. You're lusting for fortune. You're lusting for a platform or a seat at the table. How about this? Create your own table. Create your own platform. Stir up the gifts. Go into the world and make a demand on what you, oh God, are. And you'll find that things will just start gravitating to you. Listen, I got so many testimonies of just that— how God has used me outside of the church, in the world system, in business, how he's opened doors with people doing things I never dreamed I'd be doing. A lot of stuff I didn't even really know how to do, but God gave me the favor and anointed my mind to do it. Oh boy, oh boy, because I chose to trust him. That's a partaker of a divine nature, because the divine nature is a creative nature. Ah, last one, last one. Revelation. Now I got to read one more scripture about the promises. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Acts 20:32. I want y'all to get all of this. Somebody type Acts 20:32 on the screen. My wife is being a scribe today. I love it. Thank you, baby. Glory to God. Acts 20:32. The Bible says, and now somebody shout now, now. And now, brethren, glory to God. Hallelujah. And now, whoo-wee, I commend you to God and the word of his grace. Which is able to build you up. So God and the word of his grace does what? It builds us up, and it builds us up now because we have been commended to God and the word. He says, and to give you an inheritance amongst all those who are sanctified. I always say this, My inheritance is among those who are sanctified. Years ago when I would say it, it meant something else. It meant my heritage is among those that are sanctified, Pentecostal with hammer beat threes and drums, because that's where I come from. And so that's true, but to go a little deeper, I'm among those who have been sanctified, set apart by God for a particular assignment and task, and obeyed it. You too have been sanctified, and God says, I want to build you up and give you an inheritance among them. Oh, because sanctification ain't just— oh my God, it's not a long dress, no earrings, no makeup, not getting a perm in your hair, no lipstick. That's not— that's— that's not being sanctified. Listen, I learned, because I grew up in the sanctified church, I learned there's just as much hell on the long dress as there is a short dress. I'll leave that right there. Oh yeah, yeah, because it just take the one with the long dress a little longer to bend down and pull hers up if she ain't saved for real. So you got— it's what's in here that sanctifies you. God sets you apart, and it's your standing to live in God. Lord have mercy. Are y'all with me? Glory to God. Say, I got an inheritance among them who are sanctified. So God, when you look at people who have been blessed through the inheritance, don't think you're left out because you're not. God said your inheritance is among those who are sanctified. I gotta go. Number 7, and I'm out of here. So we've covered your inheritance to the kingdom, your inheritance to the world, your inheritance to eternal life, The name of Jesus, salvation, the promises of God. And number 7, you are an heir— watch this— to all things. I need everybody that's on here right now, I need you to type on the screen, all things. Things, all right? Things, things. You need a car, you're inheritance to all cars. You need a house, all things. You need clothes. You're inheritor. Oh, to all. Oh my God, y'all, excuse me, I'm getting too excited. I start hitting my little stand here when I get excited. You're an inheritor to all. Type it and say it. All things. Glory to God. All things. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah! All things. Hallelujah! Things, things, things, things. Yeah, let's read Revelation 21, verses 6 and 7. Watch this, New King James Version. Revelation 21:6-7, the Bible declares, glory to God, he who overcomes— oh my God, shall inherit all things. All right, so guess what? The only ingredient here— you got to overcome. So how do you overcome? Glad you asked. Verse above that says we overcome him, the devil, by the blood of the Lamb. Every one of us that's saved, we have the blood on our life. Oh my God, we overcome through the blood and the word of our testimony. A monologue about the test. So when you start testifying of how you overcame, glory to God, I done gave some testimonies today, glory. You, you got to testify, you got to tell others, glory to God, what God has done for you through salvation, about your inheritance. And the Bible said you are classified as an overcomer. I'm not just talking about this testimony service. You ought to give somebody your testimony every day, every opportunity you get. You ought to tell them what God has done for you and how God has preserved you, how God gave you the kingdom. Oh my God, how God gave you salvation and wealth and prosperity, how God has given you the world. Talk about what he has done. Jesus. Jesus, he says, you will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. We are sons of God. We are the family of God, and we have inherited all things. You know, really, because we're heirs of God, we have inherited him. Look at— okay, let me read this in the New International Version. Listen to this. To him who is thirsty, I will give drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. Oh wait, God says I just need you thirsty. And God said, if you thirst, I'm gonna give you a drink out of eternal fountain. And he who overcomes will inherit all of this, and I will be his God and he— oh my God— will be my son. I'm done, y'all. I love y'all so much, man. Y'all just don't know. I appreciate God for the opportunity always to minister and to share with you. Listen, I want to pray that you will take your inheritance as an heir of God, as a kingdom heir, seriously. And you will walk in all of it, all of it, all of it. I want to pray that there will be a paradigm shift in your mind and that God would superimpose you and prove to you, hallelujah, that he is with you and he'll never leave you nor forsake you. The more that you'll see infallible proof the more. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for this people that are watching live or by replay. I pray, Lord, that you would give them the mindset. I ask you for a paradigm shift in the mind, that they will trust you with their very life, that through faith and patience they will become heirs of the kingdom. They will walk out the fact that they are heirs to the world, that they are heirs to the promises of God, that they are heirs— glory to God— to all things, that they are heirs to salvation. They are heirs to the world, heirs to the land, Heirs to wealth and prosperity. Thank you, God, that you'll show it to them and they'll experience it. Let eternity— yes, God— superimpose itself upon them today, and I give you praise for it now in the matchless name of Jesus. I pray, God, for infallible proof. We got 20 more days. This is day 20. I pray, God, as we finish strong— some have fallen off, I pray you'll bring them back— and I pray, God, that we'll finish strong in these 20 days as we fast from midnight to 3 every day, as we pray at 5 AM every day, as we teach the word that pertains to the kingdom every single day. I declare that we will see infallible proof perpetually and eternally in our lives. I thank you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. Listen, guys, I love everybody. Thank y'all, man. Y'all, y'all so good, and y'all such a blessed people, whether you're watching us live and by replay. It takes something to want to take the position of a learner and listen to teaching. Amen. You know, everybody wants to be entertained, but I'm just to a place in my life and ministry, man, where, you know, my, my whole goal is to make sure people are educated around the things that pertain to the kingdom of God. Listen, I want to invite every one of you to sow seed in the ministry here today. You know, God has been a tremendous blessing to us. Um, we have a desire to support— and I said this earlier— lobbyists in Washington, legal representatives. We want to send our own lobbyists to Washington to lobby to defend the Constitution of the United States. Listen to me, the Bible has been the foundation and bone of this nation for years. And so many things are happening now, and amendments to the Constitution of the United States, when it was written according to the Bible, is now being changed. We need to fight for the rights of scripture in our nation. We need to fight for our voice to be heard as people of God, because they're trying to take our voice. Hallelujah! I give you glory, God. I need you to help us sow your seed into ministry today. I'm grateful to all that God is doing for our church. Listen, he's blessing us. Uh, if you don't watch us on television every Saturday at 8 o'clock in the state of Georgia, we cover the entire state of Georgia on TV, on the AIB Network, on AT&T U-Verse, that's Channel 9. On Comcast or Xfinity. That's channel 296. Make sure you tune in. It's a great program, and be a blessing and tell others about it. But your seed, your generosity, help us to reach the people that we reach by television. And then it also helps us to do the advertising that we do for our church. You know, we do Facebook ads that we run for the church. We have outdoor media. We have a billboard. If you have not seen our billboard board that's up at mile marker 63 in Atlanta, I-20 and Gruson Road. Uh, thousands, hundreds of thousands of cars go by that sign weekly. Uh, we thank God for the impact it's already having. It's only been up 2 months and many people are being blessed by that sign and inquiring about where we are. And I thank God for the visitors. I thank God for people that are connecting with us online because of these signs, and their lives are being changed. So as you sow, you help us to continue to do these things. So get your seed in the ground. The way to give is scrolling across the bottom, uh, Cash App, or on our website at roddochurch.com/donate. I love every one of you, and y'all be blessed. And I want to challenge you, as I do every day, share the word with with a friend. And remember, your decisions will set you up for dominion. God bless you. I love y'all. Peace. Hey, Shimando, Brusca, Talabesco, Toraminski. Hey, glory God, we bless you. Thank you, God.
