Life in the OVERFLOW, Part 3: "A SURPLUS OF PROSPERITY" | APOSTLE MIKE WOODS, SR.

Well, grace and peace everybody, this your boy Apostle Mike Woods and welcome to Radah Now. Remember, the word radah means dominion, authority, control, rule, and it is the mandate that God has given every believer to rule in authority and power on the earth. Listen, I am here tonight because I'm super excited that we get to share our message from last Sunday. This past Sunday at Rhoda Church was phenomenal. We preached Life in the Overflow Part 3. The message was entitled A Surplus of Prosperity. Listen, God wants you living in a realm of overflow. It's a real place. It's a real place of existence where you got a surplus of prosperity that flows out of you into others. Listen, he wants you to overflow, my God, in your finances, in your health. He wants you to overflow with love. Glory to the name of God. In spiritual power and anointing so that all of these things can flow out of your life into others. And listen, if we all embrace the promise of overflow, and we can because it's the promise to the believer under the blessing. I promise you, man, we will have a whole different world that we're living in if we started walking above the line and not below the line. Glory to God. So let's go right into this, man. There's going to be a special video that plays before the message. Then right after that video, I'm going to teach this word, life in the overflow, part 3, a surplus of prosperity. Check it out, man. I love y'all. I'll be right back after the message to pray just for you.

Peace.

Genesis 1:28 says that we should be fruitful, multiply, subdue, replenish, and have dominion. This is the dominion mandate. The word Rada means dominion and authority. Rada Church is an apostolic and prophetic ministry designed to assist kingdom citizens, believers, to deliberately help them really to shift their life into supernatural overflow. Because you really can't have dominion and moving your dominion purpose without supernatural overflow. So Rhoda Church exists to help you discover your dominion purpose, because your purpose is never your decision, it's always your discovery. And once you discover it, we're here to help you develop that self-same purpose. And the reality is, it's no good if that purpose is not deployed. So we're here to help you deploy that purpose into the earth so you could be effective. So you owe it to yourself, man, to visit Rhoda Church and experience this place. It's absolutely amazing. Go to rhodachurch.com right now. And set yourself up for dominion purpose.

Peace. In the Overflow.

Now we, we talked about in message 1, just by way of review, we're not going to teach this again, but I just want you to kind of be up to speed to where we going. We talked about living in the overflow.

I share with you that you can start in the minus, that's right, come on, and if you align yourself with God's word, you'll end up in overflow. That's right, because the word has ordained for us to live in overflow. Amen. We discovered, bless the name of God, that God is not the God of not enough. Uh-huh. That's He's not the God of just enough. He's the God of more than enough. And we're going to have to start seeing the reality of more than enough come to play in our life. That's right, because we're at a point now where the world needs to see what your God has done for you. It's one thing to say that God is a blesser and I have no evidence that God has really blessed you. 'Cause we live in a time now where people wanna see the evidence. No matter how super deep and spiritual we are, how much we squinch our eyes and how many tongues we talk in, the reality is there's a generation of people, they call it Generation Z and Generation X, where they don't communicate with the supernatural. They communicate visually about what they see. So you gotta now put on display what God has done. And you can't be ashamed to testify. That's right. Come on. The scripture says we overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and conjunction the word of our testimony. So we overcome the devil in others and in our life through the blood, because we— the blood is cleansed and washed us. But then our testimony, which is test and mone, which means to have a monologue about the test. So that's why God takes you through problems, takes you through pressure, so you have something to talk about, so the world can overcome. We learned that the thief, the bandit, comes to kill, to steal, and destroy. We learned that God, however, comes that we might have life. And enjoy life abundantly. That's right. Touch yourself and say, God wants me to enjoy life. I need you— I need— he don't want you just in church jumping and shouting, speaking in tongues all the time. He wants you to have a balanced life. That's right. You can enjoy life and you can be saved and still enjoy life. Are y'all hearing this? Listen, I, I have met over the years of my life some miserable saints. And they haven't learned to tell you that God delivered them from a miserable life of sin. First of all, sin, Apostle, what a miserable— well, okay, yeah, I'm with you, sis. Listen, sin was miserable. I don't have that testimony. I enjoyed sin, so I can't, I can't lie in church and say God delivered me from a miserable life of sin. That's right. I can tell you some sins that took my whole check. Y'all ain't talking to me. Glory to God. I did some stuff that I didn't have no money when I got through. Amen. But I need you to understand, it was miserable. That's right. But when I found Jesus for real, he didn't come to take me into no misery. He came to give me life and that more abundantly so I can enjoy it. Don't you ever think the devil's gonna outdo God. If you had a good time with the devil, you better believe— glory to the name of God— God's gonna make sure that you have a good time with him. Glory to God. Hallelujah. So we learned that. I'm not teaching that again. We learned also that we are children of the King. That's right, we're children of the King. And if you're a child of a king We learned that that means you're royalty. You're a part of a royal family, and you have an inheritance with that family. You are heir to the throne of God. So if you are heir to the throne of God, when the king moves into your life, everything the king owns moves in with him. So not one day of my life should I be living beneath my privilege. That's right, that's right. I should be living glory to the name of God at a level that is in alignment and congruent with the King that lives on the inside. That's right. So let's say, I'm a child of the King. I'm a child. Are y'all here? Say, I'm a child of the King. I mean, you got to grab that. I didn't say you was a member of somebody's church. See, see, there's a difference. See, this world has taught us membership. It has taught us a culture rooted in religion. When at the end of the day you have people that show up at a church and the only person that prospers from their attendance is the leader. The devil is a liar. I don't need nobody money that show up in my church. I was blessed and living in multi-millions before anybody showed up. I was wearing Gucci, my wife was carrying Louis and all that before anybody shows up. Because I'm already blessed, because I'm a— guess what? I'm a child of the King. Oh God, help us. And we leave the church— that's right— Holy Ghost, because you're gonna make me preach too fast.

Stay with me though.

We have to come to a point where we want to leave changed enough that what we learn in the church affects our everyday life. You are a real king's kid. That's right. Yes, listen, if you were born into the royal family in England, you would never want for nothing. That's right. Because they got what is called legacy money. That's right. Yes, legacy money is already in place. That's right. And see, when you grow up Black and, and in the kind of culture all of us grew up in, I said it last week, our family don't leave wills, they leave bills. Ain't nobody here got called to no office to read no will at no attorney's office. I, I could just take it, y'all. It ain't happening. I could just tell you now. But we gotta change that game. That's right. We got to get to the point where we start leaving legacy, because it's Bible. That's right. The Bible says a good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children. That's right. So when I leave here, I want my children to be in a place, glory to God, but they never want for nothing. That's right. That's why I'm teaching them discipline now. I told my oldest son last night, I said, son, it's too much coming to you. I need you to get your mind right. That's right. Because otherwise I'm gonna have to write you out the will. Y'all ain't gonna do it. Yeah, because he got to figure out how to be disciplined enough to control the wealth that's coming into him. I'm not gonna put wealth in the hand of somebody that don't know what they're doing. We're gonna ration it out to him or something, but there has to be some principles. Say, I'm a child of the King. I'm not teaching that again. Say it. Say it. I'm a child of the King. I'm a child of the King. I'm gonna get to where I'm going today. So, and so we talked about the way we start this thing, there has to be a renewing, a redoing of your mind. Yes, sir. That's it. Thank you, Lord. You can't even approach this with the same mindset. That you had before. That's right. That's why the Bible said, be ye transformed. We broke that down by the renewing of your mind. So your mind has to become something different. We gave it, uh, the analogy of a caterpillar and a butterfly, because that word transformed in Greek is metamorphoo. That's right. It's where we get the word metamorphosis. And so when you're literally transformed, or your mind makes a metamorphosis— hear this— you move from being what you were to something totally different. Amen. You start thinking totally different. I also shared last week, even when it came down to money and resources, hear me, that your mind is currency. Yes, that's right. Money is not currency, your mind is. Your bank account is a direct reflection of your thought life. That's good. If you think poor, you think in underflow. And just enough. Are you hearing me? That's where you're gonna live. But money is not currency, your mind is. You gotta get your mind right so you can attract more. Oh God, I'm trying to help somebody. We talked about when I read Philippians 4:19 in the Rick Renner translation that said that God was going to supply needs to a point that the capacity would break beyond our normal capacity to receive. And overflow into others.

See, when the supply of God shows up in your life, it's not just for you.

That's right. But God— I pray every day. One of my decrees is, Lord, I have plenty of money to give away all the time. And I also decree that I'll never be broke another day in my life. And as I decree those things, glory to the name of God, I have lived that reality. Because that's God's will for my life. That's right. Do you realize when God says he'll supply your needs, that means whatever you need, he's going to make it even if it doesn't exist? Supply means even if it's not in the earth and you need it, he'll create it for you. That means if the kidney you got go out and you need a new one, he'll just create you a new kidney.

Oh God, are y'all hearing this?

Because he's a God of supernatural supply, and we got to renew our mind based on the word of God. Amen. And what the word says. So let's get into this today. Today I want to talk about a surplus of prosperity. Say that with me. Say a surplus of prosperity. Prosperity. Now let me say this to you. I've lived in the underflow. I've been there. I've been there where I didn't know how I was going to pay Nothing. I was in the underflow worrying about how I was going to pay it. Anybody else ever been, you know, I've been there. I've been in the no flow where nothing was coming. I've been in the underflow, the no flow, and I've also lived in the overflow. Guess what's better? The overflow is better. This— I was talking in tongues in the underflow. I was talking in tongues and on my face worshiping in the low flow. But what's better for me is to talk in tongues in the overflow. That's right. Amen. Amen. Kirk Franklin wrote a song that said, I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold. That's right. Listen, I got Jesus. I want some silver and some gold. Are y'all hearing me? And I want it in the overflow. That's right. And some of you watching this live, some of you in the room, I know y'all uncomfortable when the preacher starts talking about money. But the reality is, I said it last week, we have two things we don't like to talk about but we want a whole lot of, is sex and money. That's right, that's right. Y'all want a whole lot of sex. I know I do. That's why my wife has to fast and pray all the time, because I got, I got a new rule for 2023. You cross the threshold of the bedroom Panties must come off immediately. Are y'all in here? Nothing. How about— okay, okay, we family, right?

Okay, okay, we can't edit it because it's live.

But the end of the day, it's just the truth. That's right. I mean, I, I want what I'm— that's why I'm married. I was talking to somebody, one of my friends, and I'm praying for him. He's like, 2023, man, I, I, and it— I'm—

we didn't do nothing in 2023 and we're married.

He said, we probably had— in 2022, he said, we did— he told me, he said, Apostle, we had sex maybe 4 times in 2022. I said, the devil is alive! What kind of demon is that? What kind of demon is that? You having sex 4 times and you married? Y'all married folk gotta get that together, man. Listen, you married, that's when you're supposed to have sex. Don't let these sinners out here outdo you. They're getting it every chance they can. That's right. You married, sleeping with it, and can't get it. That's right. Wow. I said, brother, just lift your hands right now. I said, we got to change this now. That's right. Yes, because that ain't God. So we want sex, we want money, especially men. A man's number one emotional need— all men may not be honest, but his number one emotional need is sexual fulfillment.

Amen.

That's why no matter how old a man get, he going to find a way to make it work so he can— y'all ain't got to say nothing— so he can have sexual fulfillment.

Amen.

And the medical, the pharmaceutical industry realized that, so they created them little blue pills for folk that don't work. Y'all ain't saying nothing. You got old men be in the club, got blue pills in their pocket like Skittles. Walking up to little young girls, talking about, I got something for you, come on. Glory to God. Because, because guess what? Men want it. It's a part of life. So we gotta talk about it. So we gotta talk about it in context, and then we gotta talk about money, because it takes money to do anything. That's right. You can't do anything without money. The scripture declares money answers all things. Oh, shut up! Somebody said all things. I told you last week, you can't go down to Georgia Power and lay out before the building and speak in tongues and get your lights paid. That's right. You better take them a check. You better take your card down there, your routing and account number or something, because you— when you get through speaking in tongues, they want their money or they're gonna turn your lights off. So we got to talk about this so the saints can get in a better position. This ministry is called Rhoda Church. Everything connected my life, my— even my business is Rhoda Film, Rhoda Branding. All about the Rhoda Group is a group of businesses that establish around the dominion idea.

Amen.

And because we understand that is the mandate of people of God, it's the first thing he said to us. He said be fruitful, multiply, subdue the earth, replenish the earth, and have dominion. You can't have dominion if you're not fruitful. You can't have dominion if you're not multiplying. You can't have dominion if you're not replenishing the earth with your innovation, your ideas, your gifts. If you're not subduing the earth, which means— which is the word of bara in Hebrew, and it literally means to bring the world in subjection to God's way of doing things. So when we take dominion, our idea becomes the highest idea. It's not enough to have one church that has wealth and super wealth flowing through it. Every ministry needs wealth. And you know what I've learned over the years? Me and my wife was talking about this. God's been good to me because you don't have to have a whole bunch of people, and you really don't have to be Really, really, really, you have to have a million followers on Instagram to be effective in what you're called to do. Really, you just need the right person preoccupied with what you're doing. All you need is one Oprah, one Stedman Graham, who by the way I play golf with often, who lives with Oprah. You only got to say nothing. You just need one person like that preoccupied with what you called to do. And guess what? You lack nothing. That's right. You ain't got to have a room full of folk. That's right. It's good to have that because people need God. That's right. I'm not dismissing that, but what I'm saying is what we all— we need to do what we're assigned to do really is God and the people that he appointed to the assignment. That's right.

Say a surplus of prosperity.

Say the overflow is better. The overflow is better. I want you to bookmark really quick. We're going to go there, uh, Deuteronomy 28 and verse 11, because I want to show you how the Lord has structured this thing to make you plenteous in goods.

Say that with me.

Say, the Lord wants to make me plenteous in goods. I'm telling you, that's his will. That's his desire. That's his plan. God's desire, for real, is for us to live in overflow. That's right. I say it again, 2023, it will be a year of one manifested vision for those that will align themselves with the mind of God so God can show them the authentic vision for their life. But two, it will also be a year of overflow for those that will align themselves with the principles of God's word. See, we have to become a presence and principle-driven people. Can't do nothing without the presence. That's right. So that's why we got to follow the cloud and not the crowd. I'm so much more interested in being where the cloud of glory is than where the popularity exists. See, there are a whole lot of people who are popular and pretending. Let me say that real— let me say that again. Let me say it one more time. They're popular and pretending, but this year I need you to be private and powerful. And I also need you to be private, powerful— watch this— and paid. Come on, I, I don't want you to be broke. I want you to be private, powerful, and paid. Who cares who likes your picture? Come on, some of y'all went to bed last night looking at your Instagram, your Facebook. You got up this morning, look at the same Instagram and Facebook. And your like count might have went up 3 while you slept. And he's wearing you all day to see how many folks don't like him. The devil is a liar. I need you to be private, powerful, and paid because God wants you to live in the overflow. Let's look at Psalms real quick. I'm taking a little rabbit trail here. Psalm real quick, 35:27. I'm working on you today already. 35 and 26. The Bible says, watch this, let them shout for joy and be glad. Let me stop right there because a lot of times, because the church— and again, I grew up, I'm a classical Pentecostal by nature. There's nothing nobody ever been able to take from me from my Pentecostal upbringing. Glory to God, that's who I am. Now a lot of times though, the preacher would read over the text and not share things that were very important to the continuity of the text. So when we say shout, most of the time in the church people will have misinterpreted that as dancing.

That's not the word here.

The word here for shout actually in Hebrew is shabach, and it is to express yourself with a loud tone with your voice. Matter of fact, it is a sound that goes from your belly to God's ear. That's what shabach is. So when God says, let us shout for joy, the word joy there— watch this— so we got to have something that we're shabaching about. The word joy there is sheyá in Hebrew, and sheyá, oh boy, means prophet. P-R-O-F-I-T, not P-R-O-F-H-E-T. But he says, I want you to shout because your life is in profit. Oh my God. So there's a lot of people shouting with holy hands and empty pockets. The devil is a liar. That's not God's plan. And we got to stop telling people that's okay. It's not okay because God says, I want you to shout for joyfully-yam Ask a man, businessman, to define profit. Again, he's going to tell you after the expenses of the business have been paid and covered, what you have left is profit. And God is saying you've got something to shout about because you've gone through hell, you've gone through trouble, you've gone through pain, you've gone through problems, and now you've got something left over to wave in the devil's face and say, you should have killed me when you had the chance. You should have killed me when I was a drug addict. You should have killed me when I was a liar. You should have killed me when I know who I was. You should have killed me when I didn't understand my value. But I came out, and oh, she come out, and now you can understand. I got something left over to kick you in the tail with because I can shout for profit. Come on now. Yes, Lord.

Some of you have paid your dues and you, you ain't seen the blessing.

Come on now. We taught on Thursday night that the curse is bad and everything under the curse is bad. But when you get saved, you shift to moving under a real blessing of the Lord. The blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow is the Holy Spirit. It's God in you. That's the blessing. So when— oh God— so when you got God in you who has more than anybody else, it's something to shout about, it's something to scream about.

Oh, let me know. Let me—

he said let them shout for joy and be glad. I told you overflow is better. See, when you're an overflow, you got something to be glad about. Y'all know for sure it's easier to praise God when your bills are paid. I know, I know. Yeah, we supposed to keep praising him. And like I said, I've been in the underflow to no flow, and I praised him through it. But it's easier and better when I can praise God and know my bank account is right where I want it. Are y'all hearing me? Jesus Christ. He said, be glad— watch this— that favor my righteous cause. Yay! Let them say continually— watch this— let the Lord be magnified. Who has pleasure in the prosperity of his servant. So God has pleasure.

I know, I know he's pleased with holiness, and I want you to keep living holy, right?

That's right. Y'all watching, you got to live holy.

You got some crazy folk out here. I said, you got some crazy folk out here that are teaching the doctrine of inclusion. These—

I mean, you know what, I'm getting— I've been in the church a long time, and I've followed a lot of these people a long time.

I've been on their stages, their platforms, and it's just ignorant, a lot of stuff that's happening.

This, you know, and I want to say this, and I'm going to say it very candidly, because if the devil can be bold enough to tell you we need to write another Bible, as an apostle, I need to be bold enough to tell you he's a liar. That's right. You got people like Carlton Pearson who is teaching the doctrine of inclusion. The devil is a liar. We don't need another canon. That's right. The Bible is still true. That's right. It's a living book. That's right. It's alive. And the Bible said once you really tasted of him, it is impossible— Hebrews 7, for you to fall away again. That's right. So let me know, when people venture off from the living word, come on now, I don't care how popular they were, they never tasted him, right? It was a religious process. And listen, I love that man right there. I loved him. I still love him. I love this ministry. Come on now. I went to Azusa probably 8 years out of all the time it was, it was there. I learned— it gave me a reason I went to school and learned Greek and Hebrew and etymology, because of how I listened to him teach. Yes, I give him the props there, but he lost his mind somewhere because he had not really tasted. So we have to be careful that we're not operating in performance. There are so many people who operate from the realm of performance and not from a real taste. We gotta operate— Jesus gave us the example. Jesus didn't operate in performance. He didn't work miracles to perform, to let people know he was powerful, he was the Messiah, that he could walk on water. He operated out of the pleasure mode. See, there are people who can't taste God unless you're pleased with his cause. Unless you find pleasure in him for real, that you have relationships so tight with him that an angel can come and tell you that Jesus ain't real, you ain't moving. I'm telling you, angel can step out of heaven and tell me you've been preaching the wrong thing. I'm gonna say the devil is a liar, you were made subject to me anyway, that you, you're wrong because I've seen this book work for me. That's right. I've seen it work for others. Good God Almighty. So we can't operate in just performance to make people feel good, to keep people coming back to see us. That's right. I promise you, it ain't no performance bone ever in my body. That's right. I just know to give you what thus saith the Lord. Thank you, Lord. And it's where I go in this country. It's— again, I told you, simultaneously we're planting church right now. In Woodbridge, Virginia, which is the Woodbridge, D.C., Virginia, Maryland area. We're also planning another church in Jackson, Mississippi, right while I'm talking. Amen. Because at the end of the day, truth has to be spoken. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. But people, so what we do is we design our worship experience around performance and not the pleasure.

Father, when Jesus got baptized, the Father spoke for the only time he spoke in the New Testament and said, this is my Son in whom I am well pleased. I'm not releasing him to perform.

I always already have found pleasure in what's on his life. And Jesus moved from that command and he started walking in the pleasure mode. That's right. Every time somebody asks him, what you doing? I'm about my Father's business. I'm doing what I see my Father think. That's right. I'm doing what pleases the one that sent me. That's right. Not to perform for people. That's right. That's why we got a great falling away, because the Bible declares that many would give heed to seducing spirits. And doctrines of devils. And there will be a great depart from the faith. He wasn't talking to people in the doctrines of devils. Let me help y'all, those online, those in here, let me help you. The doctrine of devils is not being preached in the world. It's being preached from pulpits all over this world. The doctrine of devils is being preached by preachers. Who say they're called by God. Anytime you tell me it's okay for me to be a homosexual, come on now, you better preach. Come on, and you can go, it's okay for me to be a hoe. Come on, stand up in here. It's okay for me to be a lesbian. That's a doctrine of a demon. Yes, hallelujah. Listen, I got news for you. If I can't go out here and be a hoe, come on now, and screw everybody I want to, uh-huh, you can't be a homosexual. That's right. What gives you the right to live in sin? And I can't— y'all not talking to me here. Come on, sir. See, we don't want this. We want popularity. But I'm telling you right now, revival is coming, and God's about to bring a change. He said let the Holy— Jesus, am I saying it right this week? As long as you've been around me, I've been caught— I've been calling your name wrong all that time, and you just corrected me last week.

Thank you for the correction.

He said, let the Lord be magnified, which had pleasure in the prosperity. Watch this. That word pleasure in Hebrew is actually in the plenteous state of his servant.

Touch yourself and say, God wants me to have plenty.

Come on, say it again. Say, God wants me to have plenty. Hallelujah! Plenteous is abundance, is more than enough, is excess, it's much left over. Not you got more month than money. Amen. In other words, you got more bills in your month than you got money to pay. Most people, their job is a— they live from paycheck to paycheck, and their job is an indicator of their status in life. Amen. J-O-B, just over broke. That's right, one paycheck from being broke. Amen. And that's not the will of the Father. That's— we just read it— he takes pleasure in the prosperity, the plenitude state of his service. So if he takes pleasure in that Why are so many not walking? That's right. Is it God that has the deficiency? No, God is always 100% invested in his promises to us. We have to line up with the promises so he can make provision. That's right. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Plenty deals with the root of the word. Plenteous is plenty, and it means a more than adequate supply. Touch yourself and say, I have a more than adequate supply. You got to speak those things that are not as though they were. I dare you say it. Say, I have a more than adequate supply. He said, I want you to be plenteous in goods. That's right. Goods is prosperity. Wealth, material things, the best things.

Thank you, Lord. That's what, you know, you know what, that's God's plan for us.

Don't let nobody ever make you feel like you're wrong for having something.

I got, I got pastors that's connected to my biblical court as a father, and some of them say to me, they said, Dad, I just got a new car. Even though the church didn't buy it, I feel like I need to hide my car and not drive it to church.

The devil is a liar. I said, sir, you drive your car to church.

You need to be an example of what it means to be blessed.

And those people that don't understand that you work for what you have, and then it's favor with the Lord, and then we all don't want to see the preacher have some anyway. That's right. Yes, you shouldn't want the man of God not to have nothing. That's right. Listen, church folk— and I've learned, I've been dealing with y'all all my life— church folk will take care of the building. That's right. They'll build a new building. We've done that too. They'll buy chairs and sound equipment and make sure everything— that the lights are on. That's right. And the preacher be up there looking like he about to steal something. How you gonna take care of the building and won't take care of a man that's blowing the trumpet? Because without him, the building has no significance. Okay, all right, anyway, take a step. Say, God wants me to have good things. Hallelujah. Yes, yes. Listen, think about this. On Earth, you go outside, we got gravel and asphalt streets.

In heaven, there are streets of gold.

So that lets you know how our Father rolls. You think he— you don't think he could have put asphalt in heaven? Yeah, he could have. He didn't choose asphalt, he chose gold. How would you let that marinate for a minute? That's right. We ride around with X-Fox. When you get to heaven, you're gonna walk on some gold. That's right. There are gold streets. That's overflow. That's right. Somebody might say that's eccentric, that's excess, but God don't think that. That's right. God don't think that's excess. If God don't think it's excess that the apostle gets his suits custom-made, then Jeff gets his suits cut, that's not excessive. That's how the man of God should look. That's right. Glory to the name of God. It's not excessive for us to have nice cars and nice houses. So when somebody said, how did you get that house? God did it. How did you get that husband? God did it. Yeah, you know, some people are trying to make you feel bad about who you married and you start thinking you ain't worthy to be with them. Listen, y'all say, God did this, I'm worthy of that. How did you get that fine wife?

God did it.

How you get that fine husband? God did that thing. Because that's how he works. Say it's not excess. Come on, say it's not excess. Do you realize there are 28,000 billionaires in Dubai? Wow. In Dubai, there are 28,000 billionaires. It's only about 29,000, north of 29,000 multimillionaires in America. And it's a little under 2,000 billionaires. It's because the mindset is different. That's right, very much so. They're cultivated in family culture to create wealth. And if we serve the King of Kings, don't you think we ought to have billions in our personal economy so we can put it together and create a kingdom economic system? Listen, we should have an economic system that when you need a house— watch this— then we got a bank for real. That's right. And we can mortgage your house for you. That's right. And it ain't necessarily built on your credit. Then we're gonna check your credit, but the main thing we're gonna check is your tithing record. How faithful are you to paying your kingdom taxes? See, we gotta have a system set up that the people of God can live sweatlessly in overflow. Well, you need a car, you can finance your car through the Kingdom Bank.

You know, a while back you had all these mega ministries saying they had banks.

Where them banks at now? I just want to know where the bank's at now, because ain't none of the ones that's saying they had it Got them now. That's right. Because even then, I'm all—

my mind has always been bigger than where I was anytime in my life.

So when they start saying, I'm like, oh, let me look at that, see how I can do that, right? And I come to find out none of them had a bank at all, right? They created collaborative partnerships with credit unions. So somebody say, lie. They lied. Yeah, they lied. They didn't have a bank. They had a partnership with a credit union. And they were sending their members to the credit union to join the credit union. There was residual income being released back to the church from every member that joined the credit union. Amen.

But they didn't have a bank. That's right.

They had a partnership with a bank. Amen. But we need a bona fide banking institution. Oh, that's overflow, y'all. That's right. We need to be able to create a system where we create our own educational system. So we can control what our children are learning at school. Do you realize they're teaching our children about same gender roles in school now? That's right. But if we had a Christian— not just a little school by the church, but we had a whole education system. Yes, that's right. Well, in every state, in every city, we had schools that were kingdom schools. We govern the curriculum based on our way of living, way of doing. That's right. Are y'all hearing that? Yes, that's the absolute truth. Amen. And we have to choose, glory to the name of God, to be bigger than what we've seen and to do more than what we've seen. Yes, we do. So Deuteronomy 28:11, I'm gonna give you a few translations of this verse. It says in the Message Bible, it says, God will lavish you with good things. Who— lavish means to expend or give great amounts to you without limit. Just say there are no limits in God. Say there's no limits to what God wants to give me. He said, I want to lavish you with good things. Amen. So you've got to decide today, you're not going to live beneath your privilege another day. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The BBE version says, watch this, the Lord will make you fertile in every good thing. Fertile means you'll be able to produce a large amount of something.

Y'all ever met some people that's fertile? They got a whole bunch of children.

They fertile.

Glory to God.

It don't never shut down. Every time they lay down, they have a baby.

Glory to God.

Glory to Jesus. Fertile. God says, I want to make you fertile in everything. Thank you, Lord. Imagine a life that every time you touch something, it prospers. Imagine a life that every time you go out and do a venture, that you have good success. That's right. Well, if you can imagine it and believe it, you can have it. That's right. But where does it happen? You got to go to another level of believing.

Yes.

Somebody say, next level belief. See, the belief you had before, it ain't gonna work. That's right. Matter of fact, let me put a name on this belief. Let me call it A-level belief. Amen. See, the way you get A-level belief, you got to create a culture around people that got A-level belief. But if all you hang around is doubters, low thinkers, people who don't want nothing, let me tell you something, you cannot put a 16 20 by 20 idea in a 3 by 5 mind. You just can't do it. You're trying to feed a big idea to somebody's mind that's not big enough to see what you're saying and see the expanse of what you're trying to do. You're wasting your time and you're going to get frustrated. And guess what? They're going to pull you where they are before you pull them where you are. That's right. Yes, you got to find you some Eagles. Yes, come on. 'Cause eagles, hashai, eagles and chickens can't fly together. Good God Almighty, an eagle will always condescend to spend time with chickens. And you gotta find you some folk that can soar at the level you soar, that can think at the level you think, that got further imaginations. Glory to the name, listen, I don't care what it costs, if God bring it to my mind, I believe God can do it. Yes, you can. Yeah, I was telling somebody the other day, you got to get past where you always needy. I was telling you, always needy, always got your hand out when you should be the giver, always complaining and making excuses about how you're struggling and what you're going through. I told him, I said, listen, it's nobody's fault but yours. It's because you've chosen to, one, disobey God, and two, not believe him at the level of provision. But if you're gonna be a leader that has good example, you gotta walk around being the blessing and not looking for the blessing. Listen, I'm— these days of my life, I'm looking for folk to bless. I'm looking for folk to push into a new place. Thank you, Lord.

Glory to God.

Y'all go to Genesis 26 real quick, real quick. Y'all ought to find that fast.

First book of the Bible.

And y'all ain't using a regular Bible anyway, so you ain't got to look for it.

So just type in Genesis real quick.

Genesis 26, there we go, verses 12 and 13 in the NIV. Watch this, hear this, this has been the prophecy of your 2023. I dare you get your spirit ready to receive. The Bible said Isaac planted crops in that land. Listen, and the same year reaped a hundredfold. That's right. Oh boy, why? Because the Lord had blessed him. That's right. Listen, I'm reading. He said the man became rich and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy.

That's the NIV version of it.

Let me read again because somebody missed it. Isaac planted crops in that land. And I decree and declare before you leave here today that that leg will be whole, that God would touch your foot and your ankle in the name of Jesus. And I speak to it now, and it's Shabbat. And I accelerate healing, and I accelerate recovery, and I decree and declare now in the name of Jesus that, Father, according to your word, you said healing and deliverance is the children's bread. This is your daughter, this is your child, and before we leave this room today, I thank you that she will be whole in the name of Jesus. Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our healer, touch you be healed now, woman, in the name of Jesus. All the soreness, all the pain, I command your leg, your ankle, your foot to be normal. Every nerve, every muscle, I command it to go back in place by the power of the name of Jesus Christ. So be it. In Jesus' name. So just do this, do something you couldn't do before. Do something you couldn't do before. Could you bend your leg like that before? Yes, but it's just hurting on the outside. Father, I thank you. We going to believe God. Walk to the bathroom and come back wherever you was going. I believe God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Yes, Lord. Watch this. He says— I'm going to read it again. Isaac planted crops in that land. And the same year reaped a hundredfold. I'm almost done. Wait a minute, so he planted, and the Bible, the Bible, the Bible says that in the same year, not in the year coming, come on now, but in the same year I want to announce to somebody today, yes, as you sow your time, uh-huh, your talent, your gifts, and your treasure, your seed in 2023, I want to announce you today that the same year you planted, thank you, Lord, God says I'm going to cause it to come up again in 2023. The Lord said all you got to do this year is get it in the ground. Get your gift in the ground. Hallelujah! Get your time with God in the ground. Get your seeds in the ground. And God said, the same year, thank you, Jesus, what's going to happen?

He said you going to reap it the same year, a hundredfold.

That's right, that's God. That's 10,000%. Thank you, Jesus. Not 50, not 60, not 70, not 80. But 90, but 100-fold. So that 10,000%— do the math on that. If you put a dollar down and 10,000% on a dollar, that's $100,000. God said, I'm going to give you a 10,000% return if you would believe it. Jesus, thank you, Lord.

Oh God, you got to believe it.

He said, because I've already blessed you like I blessed him. He said the man became rich the same year. Anybody here believe that God can supernaturally make you rich in 2023? I'm decreeing and declaring that a billion-dollar evaluation will come to my life in this year. My companies will have a billion-dollar valuation in the name of Jesus. Oh, she— I'm decreeing and declaring as I plant the seed and move in faith, I will have a billion-dollar valuation. I dare you to get it on your lips. Matter of fact, open your mouth right where you are and say, in the same year, I will become rich. Say, in the name of Jesus, God will multiply what I've sowed this year in time, in treasure, in talent, 10,000%. And I will become great. I will become wealthy. I will become rich in the name of Jesus. Whatever I put my hands to— come on, declare it— it will prosper. Whatever I put my hands to, it's coming up again. Say it's coming up again, 10,000%, in Jesus' name. I dare you, shout about that if you believe it. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Thank you, Jesus!

10,000%.

The EXB Bible says the Lord will make you rich. Hallelujah! Super abundance. Listen to this.

I hear you, God. He said to tell you that I will give you as a prophet, for good. For all the tears you cried, for the times you went without, for the times you trusted me and it seemed like I was moving too slow, but I was right on time.

God said, I'm gonna give you super abundance in the name of Jesus.

Touch yourself, say, I receive super abundance.

Exceedingly and excessively abundant. Say more than sufficient. Overflow.

Yes, Lord.

Who did God do this for?

He did it for his children, you and I.

That's right.

He said a cow on a thousand hills belong to him. He don't need no cattle.

He made this stuff for us.

The Lord shall make you have— according to the Amplified Bible, I'm still on Deuteronomy 11. That's all I preach from today, really. I'm just giving you different translations. The Lord shall make you have a surplus of prosperity. And I'm closing with this. This is my subject.

So much that it takes care of everything you need. And you have plenty of money left to give to those in need, to advance the kingdom.

Whatever you feel led to do— build a transitional house, build a homeless shelter, start a school, start a business, whatever's in your heart to do— God says, I'm gonna give you a surplus of Prosperity.

The scripture said it, not me.

This ain't Michael Woods' words. Deuteronomy 28:11 said that.

That's right. Surplus is an amount that is more than what is needed.

It is extra. It is what's left over. It's excess.

It's overflow. Listen, the blessing of the Holy Spirit that's in our life It includes a surplus of prosperity.

Thank you, Lord. I don't want you to just be good tongue talkers.

That's right.

I want you to be good at that, but I want you to be good at prospering as well.

That's right.

Glory to God. Surplus comes from the Holy Spirit working on your behalf. It's not energy you put into this. You just show up with the faith that's in place.

That's right.

And trust him and pray and make the confessions.

That's right.

Let me tell you something, when that happens, it works and it keeps on working.

Thank you, Lord. Say that with me. Say it works, it works, and it keeps on working, and it keeps on working.

You can play something, man of God. Everybody stand.

Glory to God.

I hope you learned something today.

Amen. Amen. Hallelujah. To do.

Say this with me.

Say, Heavenly Father, Heavenly Father, come on, say it. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I receive the word, I receive the word, and I thank you, and I thank you that I live, that I live in overflow. Say, I thank you, I thank you that no weapon formed against me, against my finances, against my prosperity, shall prosper. Say, I believe that money is not currency, but my mind is. Say, Lord, today I receive the mindset of overflow. Say, I trust your word, and I believe in my faith that what you have for me is coming now. Say, I'm a child of the King. And I believe you'll make me have a surplus of prosperity. So I decree and declare today that money will never be an issue a day in my life. So I declare today I have plenty of money to give away all the time. Say, in the name of Jesus, I'm blessed in the city. I'm blessed in the field. I'm blessed when I come in. I'm blessed when I go out. Say, I'm the head and not the tail. Declare this. Say, I'm a lender and not a borrower. Say, I have more than enough. Say, I live in the overflow in Jesus' name. Come on, I need you right there to shout about that. Come on, I need you to open up your mouth. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, I can't hear you. Open your mouth and shout about overflow. Come on, come on, y'all not shouting. Shout about more than enough. I believe this year is going to be your portion. You won't be behind, you won't have lack. God said this year is going to be your portion. Overflow! Muta la man sete beko si andaye te. Muta kase mandebebe o. Rufa satere mindo si aye. Rizka temande labokun yanse. Ebi ansate no. Aya no este mani o sho. Sho to suraki. Rizka temaye. And I, the Lord, will say to you, my little ones, this day that I have prepared a realm for you, and it is a realm called overflow. My suggestion to you, my little ones, is that you will find yourself in the spirit and walking in the spirit, that you won't fulfill the lust of the flesh, the desire to follow after the ways of man and the thoughts of man and the doubt of man. But I, the Lord, say to you, follow hard after me. Trust my word. Call on my name and I will answer you. Apply the things which you have heard. Do the things which you have said. For I, the Lord, have sent angels to you to watch over you, to protect you, and to bring my word to pass in your life. And behold, you shall see a new thing on this year. For many of you that will take hold to these principles, I'm going to eliminate your debt. I'm going to cause you to live without debt. I'm going to cause your credit scores to increase. I'm going to supernaturally cause you to move into this realm called your wealthy place, this realm called overflow. And many will look to you and say, how did they do that? How did they get there? And you will simply tell them, I did it, I did it, and the glory will come back to me. And God said, because of what I do to you, many will be drawn to me and many will become born again, and they will live out their purpose and their plan. For I, the Lord, am doing something that's going to blow your natural minds. For eyes have not seen, said the Lord, and neither have ears heard, and neither has it been revealed in any man what I have prepared for you that serve me in faith. So be it, said the Lord, in Jesus' name. I need you to clap your hands again and give God glory. Come on, I need you to give him glory. Hallelujah! Give him glory! Come on, give him glory! Not for where you are, but for where you're going. Come on, give him glory! I can get a glimpse of where you're going. I can see you in your future, and you look much better than you look right now. I can see you in your future and you look much richer than you look right now. I can see you in your future and you look much healed than you look right now. I dare you, praise God for where you're going.

Well, praise God from whom all blessings flow. I pray that you made that confession of overflow and surplus that we made with the saints at the end of the message. Listen, I promise you, the Bible said you can speak those things that are not as though they were, and they will begin to manifest in your life. If you didn't, make sure you rewind it back and repeat every word after me that the Holy Spirit gave us to pray after that teaching, so you could begin to see the manifestations of that word come alive in your life. Let's pray. This is my favorite time I spend with you, when I get the opportunity to connect with you in prayer. I believe that God hears me when I pray. I've seen him do it so many times, man. I've seen him rip the heavens open and respond to my request. And I promise you, as we touch and agree tonight, that God is going to minister to the need that you have. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for the opportunity, God, to pray for these your people. And I pray, dear God, that you will cause your power and your anointing to flow out of me into this camera, into those that are connecting with me now. And I decree and declare that because of the anointing, the yoke will be destroyed. I decree and declare, God, that the power of prosperity, the power of victory, would superimpose itself upon their lives. And I thank you that wherever they're lacking, you will meet the need. Where they're empty, you fill them up to the overflow, God, because that's your promise to us. And perhaps there's someone here that's not born again, that doesn't even understand half of what we're talking about. God, today introduce them to you and let their life be clean, clean. Let their life be pure and get them on the right track in Jesus' name. I bless you for it now, God.

Amen.

And thanks be to God. Listen, yes, if you're not born again, glory to God, I just want you to say this quick prayer with me so that you can receive salvation even right now and the forgiveness of your sin. Pray with me. Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, In the name of Jesus, I repent of my sin. Say, dear God, I give my life to you. Say, I open my heart and I invite you in. Say, Lord, I believe that you died and you rose again on the third day. And because I believe and say it with my mouth, I am saved in Jesus' name. Listen, if you said that prayer, your sins are forgiven. And listen to me, Jesus has come into your heart today. I wanna take you through the next steps of solidifying your walk with God and help you get on the right track, find your place of dominion, find your place of purpose, and begin to walk out life in the overflow. There is an email address on the screen. It's simple. Email us at info@radachurch.com. Glory to God. And let us know that you prayed with me tonight and that you gave your life to Jesus. So many have done it, and I'm super excited with— and I sense in my spirit now that someone has turned their life over to the Lord. Make sure you send us an email. And say, hey, I pray with you, I need the next steps. If you did that, we're going to send you everything you need to begin to take the next steps on your journey. Listen, it's time to give tonight. Listen, the Bible says that when we communicate spiritual things, you should communicate your natural things. Listen, I don't want you to go through this year not, you know, and I, I to repent to God because I streamed so many live streams last year and I never challenged the people to give. Only a few times, and maybe on Sundays when we were streaming, we put up something. We just never really talked to you about the importance of communicating seed every time you're blessed. It shows God— it shows God that you're bought into the process and the exchange system that he set up between heaven and earth when you give and respond to the anointing. So I want to challenge you to get your very best seed tonight, and I want you to get it in the ground. Glory to the name of God.

Hallelujah.

And I promise you, that seed is going to spring up, good measure, shaken down, running over, never shall men give to your bosom. I'm declaring now that as you give, it's going to come back to you a thousand times more, even on this week. So get your seed in the ground now. The ways to give are on the screen. Be a blessing. Listen, we have some major projects underway right now. We're, we're growing the church in Atlanta, Georgia. We are planning a new church in Woodbridge, Virginia. We're planning another church in Jackson, Mississippi. For those of you that don't know, My Grace has not ever been finished in Mississippi. I was in denial a lot and said I would never go back to Mississippi. My son was there doing a wonderful job. He's still there doing a wonderful job, but we're going to go on the other side of town and plant a church and finish finish the work and finish the grace that God placed on our life for that region. And many people who are still connected to us from that region reach out to us all the time and they follow us. But God said we got to go back and finish our patriarchal duty as a father and do what we're designed to do. And listen, only we could do. I mean, we were doing apostolic work long before a lot of the people who are there doing it. And I'm telling you right now, we're coming in power, we're coming in authority, and we're going to really finish what God started in us. So we're not flinching, we're not afraid, we don't care what you think about the past. There's a harvest that is great. Glory to the name of God. And we're coming to call forth that harvest. So as you sow, you're helping us do the things that God has called us to do as an apostle. Glory to the name of God. We're not just hiding in the four walls, but we're going into the hedges and highways, and we're compelling men and women, children, teenagers, millennials, Generation X, Generation Z. We're compelling all humans to come in and find their union purpose in God. Listen, I love you. Get that seed in the ground. Again, the ways to give are on the screen. Get your offering in the ground now. I promise you, you will not regret sowing seed on good ground. Glory to God. Well, my time really is gone. I've spent too much time with you already, but I love y'all, man. I love the opportunity to share the Listen, I want to challenge you, make sure you tap into our live stream on Thursday evening. Glory to the name of God. Well, we'll be streaming actually part 4 of Life in the Overflow. And then if you've never met us at Rhoda Church, listen, you owe it to yourself to meet us there. Look, check out this video and then I'm gonna come back and close out the broadcast. Listen, this is a personal invitation from us to you to meet us soon. This weekend, as a matter of fact, I want you to be my special guest at Rhoda Church.

Genesis 1:28 says that we should be fruitful, multiply, subdue, replenish, and have dominion. This is the dominion mandate. The word Rhoda means dominion and authority. Rhoda Church is an apostolic and prophetic ministry designed is designed to assist kingdom citizens, believers, to deliberately help them really to shift their life into supernatural overflow. Because you really can't have dominion and moving your dominion purpose without supernatural overflow. So Rhoda Church exists to help you discover your dominion purpose, because your purpose is never your decision, is always your discovery. And once you discover it, we're here to help you develop that self-same purpose. And the reality is, it's no good if that purpose is not deployed. So we're here to help you deploy that purpose into the earth so you could be effective. So you owe it to yourself, man, to visit Rhoda Church and experience this place. It's absolutely amazing. Go to roddychurch.com right now and set yourself up for dominion purpose.

Peace.

Well, praise the Lord. My time is going for real. I love y'all, and I want to remind you, as I do each and every every week. Share the word with a friend, and remember, your decisions, they will set you up for dominion. I love you. Peace.
