Life in the Overflow, Part 4: "Enemies of Overflow" | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr.

Thank you, Jesus. Yes, Lord. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord. There's a word from the Lord today. I'm going to attempt to teach this. I'm tell you, I'm running over. I'm drunk, real drunk right now. Glory to God. But, um, I'm going to do my best. We're continuing this teaching on life in the overflow. Say this with me. Say, God desires for me to live life in the overflow. His word said he came that I might have life and have it more abundantly. So therefore, I choose to live in the overflow. I choose to live in abundance. I choose to live in more than enough. And today I open my heart, I open my mind to receive the word and apply it by faith. In Jesus' name. Amen. All right, so we're again, we're continuing this series, because again, for real, it's God's will that we live in the overflow. Yes, Lord. It's his desire, it's his plan. I told y'all last week, I've lived in every reality. I've lived in the underflow, I lived in the no flow, and I've lived in the overflow. Amen. I like the overflow better. That's right, because it's God's will, is his desire. And as children of God, I, I don't believe— and I've said this in this series as well, and I'm going to review just a few statements because it's going to give credence to where I'm going today— it is not God's will for us to have holy hands and empty pockets. I'm gonna say that one more time. It's not God's will for us to have holy hands and empty pockets. Neither is it willful to have full pockets and dirty hands. That's right. So it wants a balance, praise God, of a holy life, a sacrifice life, and then a life where we're so blessed that we have plenty of money to give away all the time. That's right. Matter of fact, let's say that. Say, I got plenty of money to give away all the time. Now, I've been talking about money for 4 sessions now, so y'all ought to be comfortable by now. I know I don't like to talk about it, but you want some, right? And you need some. And I believe one of the assignments of my life is that God has caused me to be a general in the kingdom as an apostle, but my specific area is that I am a general of wealth. Amen. I'm called to help people obtain enough wealth in the earth so that they're not hindered in doing any assignment that God calls them to do. And when I was sitting there thinking about it last week, matter of fact, I talked to one of the men who, who was in my life who is now a millionaire who I trained before he became a millionaire. And I'm like, I start counting the people who have become millionaires because they connected to the unbiblical cord of my life. And then the Lord began to say, this is uniquely a part of what I made you to be. So I don't want you to fear when I start talking like this, because I'm just trying to empower you to go beyond what you know in the realm of finances and really align yourself with what God wants and desires for you financially. Amen. So when we start talking about life in overflow, let's get— because I don't think I really have gotten a working definition of overflow. I just been teaching this full speed ahead, but let's get a working definition today. So overflow is being saturated with the blessing. And we talked in message 2 about the blessing. I'm gonna review that in a moment. But it's not being saturated and overwhelmed by curses. It's been saturated by the blessing. I didn't say blessings, I said the blessing. Are y'all hearing this? It's being saturated by the blessing. And we're gonna— again, we're gonna revisit that just a little bit so we can understand what that is. It's, it's being overwhelmed with the goodness of God. Wouldn't it be a great life that every turn and in every space of your life there's nothing but the goodness of God. Yes, Lord. See, we've ascribed to the fact that if you're in this life, you're going to have days without goodness, because that's how we've been taught. That's right. Even the song, I've had some good days, right? I mean, that's what we talk— that's how we talk. That's right. But if we align ourselves with God, I'm crazy enough to believe if I'm totally in him, I can have every day full of goodness. I don't have to have no good days, bad days. I can have good days every day. Amen. Because that's the life he wants me to live. That's right. But I touch someone and say, God wants me to live in his goodness. Every day. That's, that's just the truth, y'all. That's what he wants. That's his plan. Now we can ascribe to the other stuff because, oh, we're just human, we're just natural, because that's how we choose. But the Bible said walk in the Spirit, that you don't fulfill the lust of the flesh. The old preacher took that and talked about sex, adultery, and all that, but that's not really where he's, he's at. He's talking about being lustful or desiring of the world's way of living. So he says, be deported, divorced. Walk— that word walk in Greek means to divorce yourself from the ways of the world, right? And walk in the system of the Spirit so you won't fulfill the lust of your flesh. Thank you, Lord. Because we're born in sin, that's right, shaped and groomed in iniquity. So when you say you're so far away from the system of the spirit. You have to be trained to walk in the spirit. That's right. You have to be transformed by the renewing or the redoing of your mind. That's right. Amen. And when that happens, you can depart the system that says, I gotta get cancer, I'm gonna get old and get sick and die. The devil is a liar. I know. That's right. The devil is a liar. I, I was praying for someone with stage 4 cancer Uh, yesterday actually, and I've been praying for this mother a long time. One of our members who's actually in Ohio with her mother right now. Matter of fact, she was actually the first member of this church. Glory to God. But she— hospice and her doctors have told her she can go any day now. I got on the phone and started rebuking death, rebuking cancer, because I've been praying and talking to God about this for a while. And I'm like, God, no, we can't accept that. Well, everybody around us, okay, we just got to get prepared. But that's not what we do when we listen. If something happens to me, anybody in here that knows me, if you're watching me, if you know me, I don't want you giving up just cause my heart stopped beating. I want you to remember you got power because you're a believer to raise the dead. So perhaps if God wants me to come back, I need you to pray that I come back. I need to say, 'Shep, I'm dead,' because my heart starts beating, right? One of my favorite preachers in the whole world was, uh, Archbishop or Apostle Benson Idahosa. Benson Idahosa was a power guy in Africa. He died in his bed with his wife, but he had trained his people in power so that when his wife woke up and found he was dead She didn't panic and freak out and go to screaming and hollering. She got herself together, laid hands on his chest and said, come back in Jesus' name. His chest did this, he sat up in the bed and looked at her and said, why did you bring me back? I was with Jesus. Can you please release me? If you want me to stay, I'll stay with you. But I'm with the Lord. And he began to prophesy to her all the stuff she's doing now and told her, you're gonna be all right, but I'm resting with the Lord. And she laid hands on him and released him back into death. That's the kind of power we have when we walk in supernatural overflow. We have authority over death. We have authority over sickness and disease. We have authority over poverty. Amen. So let's look at— let's review really quick part 2, this blessing. We talked about the blessing that comes from the Lord being more than enough. Say, the blessing is more than enough. I said again, say, the blessing is more than enough. So that means if I'm a believer and I'm living under the blessing, I should be living in this reality, this realm of where I have more than enough to take care of what I got to take care of. I shouldn't have more mouth than money. I've been saying it all series too, because there's so many people that got that. And God says, if you're a believer, that's not the testimony I want you to have. We read in Galatians 3:14, and this is the NIV, it says, he redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit. So watch this. Jesus, when he got on the cross, every curse was nailed to the cross with him. Every generational curse of your family. That's right. I don't care if your daddy, your granddaddy, your great-great-granddaddy was broke. That doesn't have to be you if you're a believer. Amen. I don't care if your mama, your grandmother, your great-great-grandmother died of cancer, and every generation since you has died of cancer. Doesn't have to be you, because when you come to Jesus, the curse was nailed to the cross. The Bible says he redeemed us, which means he brought us back. He said, look, You're no longer the property of the world, of your parents, of the devil. But redemption says you belong to God. Touch yourself and say, I belong to the Lord. So he said, I did this so that— hear me— the blessing— yes, the blessing, not blessings— the blessing The blessing is— watch this— it's the law of God decreed out of his mouth for his people. I gave you one blessing last week in Genesis 1:28. The Bible said, and God blessed them and said, be fruitful, multiply, replenish the earth, subdue the earth, have dominion. That's a blessing from God. Whenever God speaks a thing, it becomes law, because God is a king. And when the king decrees something, it becomes law. Amen. See, in Western culture, we don't understand that, but in the Eastern culture, they understand monarchy. So when the king says something, it's wrong. That's right. It's what's gonna happen because the king spoke it. Amen. Oh Jesus. So there's so many promises that have been spoken over you and I that indicate the blessing. And he says, now I want the same blessing that's on Abraham to be on you. What did he say to Abraham? He said, I'm going to multiply you as the stars of heaven. I'm going to bless you so that the dust of the ground, the particles in the dust in the ground, I'm gonna bless you so that you're gonna not be able to be numbered like that same dust. That's right. I'm gonna multiply you going and coming. That's right. I'm gonna bless you in the city, I'm gonna bless you in the field. This is the blessing of Abraham. I'm gonna make you the head and not the tail. That's right. I'm gonna make you a lender and not a borrower. That's right. I'm gonna make you above and never beneath. That's the blessing that's over us. That's right. And so walking in overflow means to be overwhelmed by the blessing, by the word of God coming alive in our life. Thank you, Lord. This ain't something we just read. That's right. This is not just a book of archaic writings, right? The Bible said this book is alive. The Bible— the word of God is quick. Zoe in Greek is, is full of spirit and life. That's right. And sharper than any two-edged sword. That's right. It desires us, the sum of the soul and the spirit, your mind, will, and emotion. It divides your fleshly and willful soulish desires from that which is spirit. That's why you need the word. That's right. See, we can have a whole lot of good church, but I'm gonna tell you something, and I, and I've been in a lot of services, and I've been guilty of doing this myself, where worship has come so strong and we just worship, worship, crying in the floor. God takes over, wonderful thing. But at the end of the day, we cannot— and when that happens, we rejoice in that, but we can't make a practice of skipping this because we have— we're having a good time in worship. That's right. Because this is the instruction we need to live as kingdom citizens, to carry out his plan for our life. That's right. Amen. Amen. So the blessing of Abraham basically was threefold, and I already talked this, so I'm gonna just run through it. It was spiritual life Say spiritual life. Say God wants to overwhelm me with spiritual life. Aren't you tired of being overwhelmed with natural stuff? Absolutely. We get overwhelmed with all kind of crap. That's right. Well, God says, I want to overwhelm you with spiritual life. The blessing is also healing and divine health. So you got it right that when your body is sick, to be healed. That's right. Instead of believing the report of the doctor The Bible said, whose report will you believe? We shall believe the report of the Lord. That's right. So what does this report say? Well, you won't know what the report say if you don't get in the book. That's right. You don't get in the word. Glory to God. That's right. You don't listen to the word and read the word and study the word yourself. That's right. All right. Okay, here's the third thing, and it's— again, this is the blessing. It's the provision of abundance and prosperity and overflow. More than enough. That's the blessing. Touch yourself and say, God wants me to live in the blessing. Glory to God. Genesis 1:28 again. And God blessed them. Listen to it. And now I'm moving, I'm just reviewing. And said to them, be fruitful, multiply, increase in number, replenish the earth with people like you. So once you get it, replenish the earth with other folk who get the same knowledge so they can live in overflow. So that— so that— watch this— the increase of heavenly things never ceases on earth even after you and I go. So we got to keep multiplying what we know, the realm we live in, so that when we're gone, our children's children can keep walking in this. And then he said, have dominion. This is what I wanted to get. Which is that word right there, Rada. That's dominion, that's authority, that's rule. People ask about that. Why do you call the church Rada Church? Something— we're planning a church in Virginia. Somebody asked me, when in the world is Rada Church? I saw this, y'all coming to Virginia. Glory to God. I said, Rada means dominion. It's the first conversation God had with us. He— the first conversation, one time The first conversation wasn't dancing, it wasn't singing, it wasn't preaching. The first conversation was takeover. And the first conversation was, I created the earth for you. That's right. Do you realize earth was— and I'm getting where I need to be— earth was created to be an extension originally of heaven. It was created to be a colony of heaven, and the only thing that changed the game was sin, was disobedience. That's right. But what gets us back in right standing with God is the second Adam. Come on, that comes and brings us back into rightful place. So now we can boldly go to the throne of grace and access heaven while on earth. That's right. And watch this, learn how to become walking encounters of dominion everywhere we go. I need y'all to understand something. God wants us to be walking encounters. That's right. Which means you should be walking, moving in authority everywhere you go. That's right. Oh, have mercy, Jesus. So God equipped us with everything we need to do this work. So today, and I'm gonna move I want to talk about being overwhelmed with overflow. Yeah, just think about that. When you go to do something, you never question, do you have enough? I mean, something as simple as a pair of shoes you may want, and you just look at it and say, I don't have enough. Or a house you want to buy cash. I don't. And you look and say, I can't do it because I don't have enough. What car you want? God says, I want you to learn how to be overwhelmed in this realm of overflow. And today what I want to do is show you what that looks like. Glory to God. But in order to do that, I gotta first show you some enemies to overflow. Because some people would never walk in overflow because these enemies will rule their life. And it ain't just folk that's not saved, it's some same folks that's gonna die broke. That's right. I'm sorry to say it, they're gonna— it's gonna happen. Because they are not going to overcome these obstacles. But I pray today, those who are online watching, those who are here watching, I pray today that as I give you these enemies, you make a deliberate mission to conquer these enemies every day of your life. I'm telling you, every day I open my eyes, I'm battling against these to make sure nothing hinders what I got to produce. So the first enemy— my daddy always told me, son, when you get in the fight, throw the first punch as hard as you can and make it your best punch. So this afternoon, I'm gonna throw my first punch hard. The first problem, the first enemy is sin. Amen. Because some people, they're going to keep playing the grace card. Come on. And what grace will do, it will forgive you. Grace will get you in heaven, but grace will rob you of overflow. Come on, if you keep playing the grace card. Watch this. The Bible says that it's because of your sin that you have been separated from between you and your God. God, we've learned this, is the author of overflow. He's a progenitor of overflow. It comes from him. So if sin separates me from him, it separates me from overflow, right? Because I got to tap into him to get overflow, right? So you got to decide, do you love what you do more, my God, than receiving overflow? Those watching live, do you love being a homosexual more Do you love being a lesbian more than the idea that you can really be connected to God? Do you love being a whore more? Come on. And let's not even just deal with those big sins, but sin, harnisia in Greek, it means to miss the mark. So you cannot be a homosexual, a lesbian, a liar, but not moving in your purpose and still being saved. Not aligned in obedience to God, and because you're missing the mark— there's a point, there's a mark that has been established, that has been set. And as human beings, we are responsible to discover that mark. Watch this. If we want overflow— see, you can continue to live beneath your privilege and continue to live in sin and try to play both sides of the fence. And do things hard. Because when you transgress against— oh my God— God's way, life is hard. Because the scripture says the way of a transgressor is hard. Amen. I told you I was gonna throw my best punch. It'll get better, I promise you. But you gotta decide, I want to bring my body under subjection. Yes. I get to the point, if I think it— come on, because some of you may have done it but you fought it. And I got to the point that if I think it in my head, I repent. That's right. I said, Lord, have mercy on me. And God knows none of us are perfect. We have things that we are constantly battling. But at the end of the day, we got to make up in our mind to mortify the members of our flesh and decide I want everything everything God has for me. I don't want to miss nothing. That's right. Tell me something. Say, I don't want to miss nothing. Like I said, some people won't get it because they love sin. Yes, they do. They love the fact that, oh my God, I can do this, right? And then go and talk to God and he gonna forgive me. He love you, man. He will forgive you, but it's going to cause you to miss overflow. That's right. Because your vessel has to be pure. Yeah, it for anything that comes from God to flow through it, because he's holy. And the Bible said holiness without no man can see God. That's why you got, you got to be careful even what you put in this body. I know some of y'all said, you know, I have conversation all the time with weed smokers and they like to go back and forth with me, and I'm like, look, bro, When you don't know the purpose of the thing, you abuse it. That's right. The marijuana plant, yes, was made for healing purposes. That's right. But when you take it and use it as an illicit drug and lace it with all different stuff and take it out of its purest form, let me tell you something, that no longer is the pure drug. That's not— you're not smoking what came out of the ground. You don't put most stuff in it. So at the end of the day, we have to be careful because we're killing our bodies. That's right. We have to be careful putting alcohol in our bodies. I'm not going to even tell you alcohol is a sin, but alcohol will corrode your liver. And overindulgence in anything is sin. That's right. I don't drink, and I'm not going to condemn you if you do, but I'm going to tell you something. It's going to hinder overflow. Overflow. That's right, because you're subjugating yourself to another spirit. That's right, anything that alters how you think is a spirit controlling you. That's right, that's right. Alcohol control— oh God, it controls how you think, it controls your mood. That's right. Okay, okay, let me, let me move on. Sin kills overflow. Uh-huh. Because it separates you from God. Lord, help us to repent truly. Yes, Lord. Your repentance— oh my God, it's metanoia in Greek, and metanoia means to return to the top, totally transformed. Thank you, Lord. So you ain't repented until you stopped and went back to the top. That's right. Come on now. See, some people say, 'Oh Lord, I'm sorry,' think they're repenting. That's right. No, you, you repenting when your behavior changed. That's right. You repent when you don't do it again. Yes. Oh boy, that's right. That's just a new— that's a new take on repentance, ain't it? Because we thought we just keep doing— no, you just, you just still sinning. That's right, that's right, that's right. But true repentance is a change of heart. A change of belief about that sin, a change of action. Say, I'm gonna return to the top. That's right. Repent, which means re— which means to go back. Pit, which is the top. Well, you was like penthouse. So when I repent, I go to the top floor. Come on now. And I can receive what God has for me. Yes, that's good. That's true repentance. That's right. I ain't talking about this stuff that every day we're, you know, the same season. That's right. You ought to be working on that thing. Yes, yes. I just believe as children of God, there's some things you should over time mature out of. That's right. I mean, you go to college for 4 years, they give you a degree. That's right. Some of them is in the church all their life and still wrestling with the same stuff. Something's wrong with that. And wonder why the blessing— see, this is why we look at the body, it looks different because the blessing flows through purity. Yes. Oh boy, I hope y'all just scroll past this, but we gotta make sure that we align ourselves with righteousness. So sin is an enemy to overflow. Secondly, and I'm moving, y'all can breathe now. Um, glory to God. Cuz sin will make you pay more than you want to pay and stay longer than you want to stay. Sin costs. Let me move, let me move, let me move. Stay right there. My Lord, my Lord. Second enemy is doubt. You can't move in overflow if you operate in doubt and don't believe the word of God. Amen. You got to believe what this book say. That's right. I mean, it's real, it's true. That's right. And the only way you see the manifestation of what it can do is when you choose to not doubt. God's greatest pleasure is to be trusted. That's right. His greatest disappointment is to be doubted. Right. It grieves him when we doubt him. He wants— watch this— Hebrews 11:6: without faith, it's impossible to bring pleasure to God. You can't please God if you are in doubt. That's right. Matter of fact, he takes strong displeasure in that. Lord, help me to teach this today. Matthew 21:21, y'all can go there. It says, and Jesus answered them, truly I say to you, if you have faith in God and do not doubt— so we see clearly again that faith and doubt are inept to each other, they're different. They're opposites. Matter of fact, faith and doubt can't even dwell in the same room together. Oh boy. So you either got faith or you don't. You can't have doubt and faith at the same time. Uh-oh. Either you got the measure of faith you have and you're growing from faith to faith, or you're a doubter. Oh God, how can I say this? You can't have a little bit of faith and a little bit of doubt on the situation. That's called confusion. That's right. Just like you can't be a little bit pregnant. That's right. Either you pregnant Or you're not. Either you got faith or you don't. Either you trust and believe or you don't. Hallelujah. He says, if you have faith and don't doubt— again, they're opposites— you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree Just to bring you up to speed, Jesus walked by the fig tree that was dead, spoke to it, and caused it to bear fruit. You talk about walking in the overflow. People who walk in the overflow walk by dead stuff and it lives. People who walk in the overflow, whenever people come in contact with you, even if they're in the underflow or no flow, if they stay around you long enough, eventually they start walking in overflow. Yeah, he said you will not only do what has been done to the fig tree, listen, but even if I say to this mountain, be taken up and thrown into the sea, listen, it will happen. Now let me show you, this is not allegoric. Jesus is literally saying to them because they were standing next to a mountain at Capernaum. And Jesus said, this mountain right here, all you need is faith. This mountain, you can say to it, be moved, and this whole mountain will be moved into the sea. That's right. Most people will never move mountains with their faith, right, because they operate in doubt. That's right. Have mercy. They believe what they want to believe, and they believe on their own terms. That's right. But when it comes to the word of God, all of it is true, right? And either you believe it or you don't. Amen. Let me move. Romans 14:23. I'm going— this is the English Standard Version of this verse. It says, but whosoever has doubts Listen to this, is condemned if he eats. Wait a minute, so some of y'all eating and living, but you operate illegally because you're supposed to be walking by faith and not by sight. Because most of the stuff you eat, you're eating it by your own hands, and most people don't even acknowledge that God gave them the strength to do the work they do, to create the finances they create. That's why Jesus said here, if you eating and you ain't doing it by faith, you are condemned. Uh-huh. You ought to feel bad about eating and you don't realize it's God that gave you the ability to produce what you eat. That's right. He said you can help operating in doubt. If you think it was you and not me, you're moving in condemnation. That's the Bible. I just read the scripture, y'all. Sorry, I just read the scripture. He said, because— watch this— the eating is not of faith, but whatever does not hear this proceed from faith is sin. I told you the only sin ain't homosexuality, lesbian, whoremongering, Walking in doubt is sin. Come on now. Harmisia, missing the mark. When God said there's nothing impossible with him, and the moment you get up against something that seems impossible, you go to doubt it. Oh God, God says no, that's sin. You're supposed to be an example what it looks like to believe in me. You're supposed to be able to walk through things and give the testimony that God brought me out because I trusted him by faith. Yes, Lord. Let me tell you something, faith has a way of suspending rules. That's right. The word faith here in Greek is pistos, which means to be absolutely, totally confident and persuaded by. So you got faith, you're absolutely, totally confident and persuaded by God. It means to leave something you can't see for something you can see. That's what faith is. Amen. See, when you got saved, you ain't never really seen Jesus, right? But somebody preached Jesus to you. That's right. And you believed it by faith. What if I told you the same Jesus that saved you, that same redemption plan, that same salvation plan, comes with an overflow plan? That's right. Comes with a health plan. Uh-huh. Comes with a relationship plan where you can know him for real. That same Jesus that you believe can save you can make you wealthy. That same Jesus can heal your body. That same Jesus, that's right, hey, my God, can do a new thing in your family and break curses and rid you of demonic influence and cause you to be a new creation in him. That same Jesus. I got to go. I'm just on these ends because I got to get out of here. But when you eaten by any amount of faith The Bible says sin, because you went around the source and you trusted in yourself. You lean to your own understanding. See, that's what doubters do. They lean to their own understanding, their own sense of clarity, what they have stood under and taught them about life and how they should navigate through it. But the Bible said, lean not to your own understanding. He said, but everything you do, acknowledge God. Proverbs 3:5-6. Acquiesce. Become acquiescent. Open up to his knowledge. He said, if you do this, I'll direct your path. That's faith, man. That's saying, I'm gonna leave what I can see— my abilities, my intelligence, my talent my gifts, my resources that I have in the natural realm, but I'm gonna walk away from that and trust God to guide my path along the way to everything I need, every person I need. Oh boy, that's faith. Leave what you can see for what you can't see. Years ago, I was in— glory to the name of God— Pittsburgh preaching for Archie Dennis, and there was a lady there. She stood up to testify before I got up to preach, and, uh, pastor said, I, I need her to share her testimony with you. She said, I'm going to tell y'all something. God is good, and you have to learn to trust him by faith. And if you trust him by faith, he'll give you everything you need. She said, I had a boyfriend when I was in college. We dated all through college. He went on to play baseball for the pros. She said, this man was 6'4", 228 pounds of proportion protoplasm. She said it just like that, I promise you. That's why I learned that word protoplasm. Yeah, I learned it that day. Glory to God. Uh, proportion protoplasm. She said, he's an amazing man. I was in love with him. She said he went on to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates. He signed a $10 million contract over 3 years. She said, he called me yesterday and said, I've been thinking about you and I want us to get back together again. I said, wow, this is good because God looks like to me God's about to bless her. But it wasn't what I thought, because the man's on the phone said, look, I've been thinking about you, and because you're so amazing to me, you're the love of my life, I went out and bought you that candy apple red 500SEL Mercedes-Benz that you already always wanted. That was the loom back then that had the drop top. Yeah, she said, I love— he said, I love you, and I opened a bank account with your name on it with $1 million in it. He said, I love you so much, and I want us to be together. I went out and I bought you a marble and glass condominium that overlooks Three Rivers Stadium so you can watch me play home games when I come home, valued at $1.8 million. It's all yours. And remember, he's 6'8", 6'4", 218 pounds, 28 pounds of proportioned protoplasm for the whole midnight hour. Glory to God. She just— this is a real man. Glory to God for her. She said, you know, I thank you for the gift. She said, wait a minute, I ain't through. I bought you that $10,000 sable mink coat that we used to look at. That I couldn't afford back then, and all I want is for us to get back together. She said— she said to him, she said, I said, man, the problem never was what you could do for me. I always knew you would get to where you are. She said, my problem was you never wanted to be saved. You never wanted to serve Jesus. She said, all of that is wonderful, right? But I got one question, because I still love you too. Have you decided to follow Jesus? The man said, I said nothing about Jesus, I'm on you. That's what I was saying. I was like, man, don't do this, lady. I need you to pray for him. I need you to cast the devil out of his mind or something. But she— but no, she stood strong in her faith, giving glory to God. Because when you stand strong in your faith, it brings glory to God. And then she told him, she said, you know what, I can't be with you because you still don't love the God I love. So she walked away from what she could see. She walked away from 6-foot 4, whatever it was, 228. She walked away from a $10,000 sable mink that she could see. Oh God, she walked away from a car that she could drive, a house that she could live in, money in the bank that she could spend for a God she ain't never seen. Are y'all hearing this? For a heaven she ain't never walked on. That's faith. And some of y'all in this room, you got there. Yes, that's right. You walked away from life that you enjoyed to serve a God you ain't never seen before in your life. That's right. Hallelujah. To do things, glory to the name of God, that you, you just never dreamed you would be doing sitting up in church. Are y'all hearing this? But that's faith, y'all. That's faith. But anything you apprehend without faith, the Bible calls it sin. And she refused to live in sin for stuff. Never compromise who you are in God for material good, because God can give you a car, God can give you a house, God can give you a fine wife, a fine husband. He can give you somebody that loves you the way you need to be me love. Oh, have mercy. So sin, doubt. Third enemy— I gotta get to my end, y'all— is fear. Fear is doubt's cousin. Amen. They roll together. Normally, if doubt in the room, fear somewhere close. That's right. I heard Charles Capps say this, and it's true. He said, fear knocked on the door, faith answered, and no one was there. That tells me that fear and faith also are inept. You can't tell me you're moving in faith and you're afraid. Now, there are different types of fear. There's a careful fear. I mean, if you're in a car, somebody's just got their car— you're in one of these Hellcats and they got it floored to 170 miles an hour, you got a right to say, please slow down, let me out. That's a careful fear. Glory to God. Then there's what is called the reverential fear. You, you should fear God, and because he's God, he's holy. But you're not afraid of him. This fear here is a Greek word, dehilia, and it means to have a cowardice from fright, which means you become a coward because you're frightened by something that is presented. That's, that's the fear that's being discussed here. It's a terror that you get because of circumstance. And a lot of times when life happens, we get, we get afraid. Our first reaction to things that happen, whether it's a bill we got to pay, whether somebody gets sick or something traumatic happens, our first reaction is fear. But I need us to learn how to click from— because fear is a feeling, it's an emotion. That's right. And you gotta learn how to click from feelings to faith. And no matter what it looks like, you gotta say, this looks hard, this looks bad, but I choose to believe. Accept the reality for what it is, but don't be afraid of it, right? You got to choose to not let fear dominate you, and you got to dominate it. Let me tell you why. Let's go to 2 Timothy 1:6 or 1:7. The Bible says, for God has not given us the spirit of fear. Listen to that. He said, I didn't give you the spirit of fear. Now, he didn't say you ain't having— he just said he didn't give it to you. 'Cause a whole lot of folk got it, but I just want you to know it didn't come from God. That's right. God never called us to fear circumstances, right? To fear getting old, to fear going broke. Are y'all hearing this? Amen. To fear getting sick, to fear— some folks so afraid of life, they so afraid that they're gonna get old and their children gonna put them in a convalescent home or something. They're so afraid they're gonna get sick and die of a long painful sickness. The devil is a liar. That's not how God called you to live. That's right. Some people won't spend money because they fear going broke, right? That's not how God called you to live. Amen. You gotta click from feelings to faith, and you got to decide, I'm not going to give you my feelings and fear what my life looks like, but I'm gonna trust God that this is about to get better. That's right. Then I'm about to live in a realm that I never lived in before. God said, I didn't give you that. And you know, my advice to you is today, as I'm sharing this word, don't take what God didn't give you. Just look at somebody and say, don't you ever take. Come on, tell them what God didn't give you. Well, find somebody on the other side because that person was ignoring you. How you at, brother? Say hey! Did you hear what I said? So don't take what God did give you. Don't take a man, don't take a woman, don't take a job, don't take no money, don't take no business, don't take a car, don't take a house. If it didn't come from God, I don't want it. Amen. I'll get how fine it is. It ain't God, I don't want it. I live long enough to realize it ain't all the way how fine you is. Some of the most craziest people in my life was the finest. Jesus help us. I'm just telling you right now. But what you need is something that comes from God, that But that God can love you through that person because their heart is healed to God. You don't want friends that didn't come from God. All these people gonna do is bring hell into your life and have you— oh my God— frustrated and mad because they can't think on your level. You need people around you that God sent. That's right. Amen. Say it again. So don't take what God didn't give you. What did God give you? The Bible said, first of all, he gave you power. Somebody shout power! I'm telling you, God is taking the believer back to a place of real power. This word power in the Greek is dunamis, and the word dunamis is inherent power. It's where we get words like dynamo. A dynamo, a tornado— again, we've had that this week, glory to the name of God— it picks up strength as it inherits objects that makes it stronger. So inherent power, or dunamis power, is— it comes from God, and we get more stronger and more powerful in dunamis as we walk with him. It's not just a one-time drop, but the more I walk with God, the more power he gives me. The more I trust him by faith, the more power he gives me. Oh, glory to God! The more I trust him to use me in his authority, the more power he trusts me with. Tell somebody, say, ain't scared of nothing. Tell them I got power. I'll tell you, shout it again, I got power. God, I feel like preaching here. I said I was going to teach this, but I believe God is going to raise up some people that's got real power. Glory to the name of God! That's not afraid of a demon. There are that cast out a demon at the drop of a hat, that's not afraid of sickness and disease. Oh, I wish I had some folk with power in here to raise up and say, I got power. I'm telling you today, you got power in the blood. You got power. That's right. Oh yeah, you got power, power, power, power. He says, I gave you dunamis, dynamite. Yes, God, that's right. See, again, the dynamite is inherent power. That's right. The dynamite can't work without all the apparatus there. Every piece in the dynamite is important. Hear me, the, the stem is important, the powder inside of the dynamite, the apparatus that the dynamite is wrapped in. It's made of a material— glory to the name of God— that burns quickly, that it can get to the gunpowder quickly. It's inherent But notice, it will never explode without fire. So as long as— oh my God— that stem is burning, explosion is imminent. That's why I'm telling you, don't fear, don't be afraid. Stay connected to God. Let him keep igniting the fire in you so that everywhere you go, there can be an explosion of what looks like God. Turn to someone and say, I got power. I got power. He said, I also gave you love. I got paid. I gave you unconditional love. That's right. God said, I love you for love alone. Uh-huh. So why would you allow fear to rob you of overflow when I love you so much? That's right. Some people have not received the love of God. That's why they don't believe they really could have wealth. They really can live in abundance of power and spiritual authority. They don't believe that they really can buy things cash-free without debt. Let me tell you something, God loves you that much that he wants you to have the best of everything. Thank you, Lord. And he loves you for love alone. Thank you, Lord. He knew everything about you Yes, it did. Before he died. Yes. I'm going to say it again. Before he got up on that cross, he already knew we were the people we are, right? The Bible said he predestined us. That's right. So before we even got here, he knew us. Nothing about us surprised him. There's nothing you can do— hear me— to make him stop loving you. Thank you, Lord. So why not react to life in faith instead of fear knowing I got the love of God on my side. He said, I gave you love, for love alone. Say, for love alone. For love alone. And I gave you a sound mind. Yes, Lord. This compound word, sound mind, is sophronismos in Greek, and this word means a well-balanced— watch this— intelligent man. I don't care what the teachers told you, I don't care what your aptitude test said. When you come to God, yeah, there's an intelligence that was innately planted in you before you got to earth. Before you— okay, yeah, Jeremiah 1:5, before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Yada in Hebrew, I was intimate, I was close with you. I planted an intelligence in you, a way of thinking, a way of living. So you're well balanced. But why is it we got so many crazy folk in church? And for the— act like they don't know nothing. There's some of the stuff these church folk doing, it ain't— come on, it ain't demons, it's just crazy. They need deliverance, but they need some medicine or something. Because at the end of the day, if you're in God for real, you shouldn't be stuck on stupid. That's right. Because God is all-wise. That's right. He's the supreme intelligence. Yes, he is. So how in the world is I'm in him and crazy? That's right. And act like I don't know nothing. Something's wrong with that. Are y'all hearing me? Amen. Because that's not the God we serve. That's right. He said, I gave you a sound mind. And most people— watch this— when you start operating in this supernatural soundness, it goes against their way of thinking. They're gonna think you're crazy because they don't understand that, right? But you got to keep being sound and aligned with God's way of thinking. That's right. There's some stuff I, I can do I ain't never went to school to do it. That's supernatural intelligence. Some things I know how to do with a camera, some things I know how to do in post in editing and that I train others to do. I never been taught to do that, right? I was anointed by God with the intelligence to do it. That's right. I never went to school to design graphics or animation or motion. I never did went to school with none of that, but the intelligence of God, right? I'm telling— that soundness of mind, right? When you tap into your purpose, your supreme intelligence will emerge. Some people have not seen that part of them because they're still doing what they think they know they need to be doing and not what God wants them to do. And what we need to do is go back to our Genesis, get on our face and say, God, what am I supposed to be doing on this planet? Right. Start doing that and your supreme intelligence, your divine intelligence, will emerge. God have mercy. Some people have illegally tapped that intelligence and they're able to create things out of the illegal process. I mean, I've been talking to rappers about how they write, and some of the rappers y'all know, I've been talking to some of these guys, you know, and I'm like, how you come up with that lyric? Oh, we just smoke weed before we write. Because it takes them somewhere else and they're illegally assessing creativity. Okay, okay, okay, let me take it further. Steve Jobs created iOS that's in this iPad, that's in that Mac, that's in that phone, that's in this watch. He was high on LSD. Read his bio. He got high in the field with his friend, took him up there, tapped into that illegal way of creating, went back to computer, wrote the code for it. Because every human has this supreme intelligence, they just accessed it illegally, right? What would happen if we start accessing what's in us through the Holy Spirit? That's right. What could we create? That's right. Listen, we say, see, the Holy Spirit is not just there for us talking tongues. Talking in tongues is great, I love it. Praying in the Spirit is great, it builds me up. Amen. But the Holy Spirit is there for me to commune with. He is a person. He's the person of God that lives in me, and he communes with me to teach me how to use my divine intelligence. Amen. That's a part of the blessing. But you, if you operate in fear and not a sound mind, because most people, they fear, they, they're imbalanced in their thinking, they worry all the time. Fear will whiten your hair and shatter your health. Fear has sent the multitude to an untimely grave. My God, fear will hamper your ability to do and be in life. Fear impeaches large service. You cannot do things on a big level when you're afraid. Amen. You just got to learn when God bring it to your mind to jump out there with both feet and say, God gave it to me and I trust the Lord. I got to get out of here. Yes, last enemy, and I'm going to quit. I'm not going to even get to where I we're just gonna call this Enemies of Overflow. We'll teach the other another time. This is the last one because I'm boring y'all, and I want y'all to get this, man. So say this with me. Say, singing is an enemy to overflow. Say, doubt is an enemy to overflow. Say, fear is an enemy enemy to overflow. Last one: slothfulness is an enemy to overflow. Bro Franklin, I don't know what makes me more frustrated than a man that refuses to work, that refuses to take care of his family. Amen. It makes me itch. I start breaking out in hives and stuff. Listen, somebody watch me online, you, you need to get off that sister couch. That's right, I'm looking at you. She's going to work and you're on the couch flipping the remote all day, or got a game controller in your hand all day. Something's wrong with that picture. You will never have overflow. Amen. Being slothful. That's right. We can preach it, we can teach it to the blooming face, but revelation without application, constipation. That's right. I need you to understand that it's going to be hard, it's going to be stuck, it's going to be straining. But I'm a spiritual laxative. I want to help you get this thing moving because you got too much you got to bring forth. Listen, if you're slothful, God is not pleased. Amen. I don't care how much you jump, shout, have praise breaks. I watch these stuff, sometimes I'm just I just have to turn my phone off. I don't have time to look at social media much anyway, but what I do most time, I get through looking at it mad because I'm like, these people are having praise breaks, they're bucking, they're shouting, they're entertaining, and nobody's really changing. These people gonna leave and go back to the same problems because either they're in sin They're living in doubt, they're living in fear, or they are slothful, right? I would rather you apply what I teach, transform your life outside of this building, then come in here, we turn over chairs and fall on the floor. Listen, that's wonderful when we do that, but at the end of the day, that's not my preference, right? My preference is that we have Kingdom University After we worship the King, he comes in. We learn how to go out of this building and apply the kingdom to our life, right? Rest of that stuff, yes, it's good church, yes, but that's not what God has called us to, right? It's okay, but it ain't what he's called us to. He's called us to domination. We can't dominate if we don't apply principle, and we can't dominate if we're slothful. What is slothfulness, Michael Woods? I'm glad you asked. First of all, it's a— oh my God— it's a disinclination to work, which means you're not inclined to exert yourself, right? You're not excited, you're not inclined to put anything in the process. That's why I don't fear planning a church, because I know my work ethic. I'm gonna keep showing up working. I'm gonna keep working every day of the week while I'm not here until this thing continues to grow, right? Because at the end of the day, it's gonna be the work that causes it. Jesus said, I must work the works of him that sent me while it is yet day, for the night cometh when no man can work. So while there's illumination, while there's revelation, while you're clear about what you're supposed to be doing? You need to pick up the plow and go to work. Somebody shout work, work, work! So, so slothfulness is just pure laziness. My God, amen. Worst thing in the world is, especially these millennials, Generation X, you know, some of these millennials are just so lazy. They want everything given to them. I'm talking about my children included. These children, my grown children, these children want everything given to them. They don't understand the concept of work, right? They don't understand what you got to put in to build something because they grew up with things being given to them, right? So we got— we have to change the game and make people understand work is necessary. The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary. Y'all catch that going back? ABCD. It's the only place it comes before work. If you're gonna have anything, we gotta work. That's right. If we're gonna have an effective, successful ministry, we gotta work. That's right. I was praying about Sister Franklin and the woman of God, how God sent her here through another woman of God, and how ever since she came, she's been working. Amen. I used to tell people on my teams in business, all you need is one superstar. You don't need a whole bunch of people. You need one superstar to see it and want to support it, and they're gonna go tell everybody. And connect them to what you're doing. Amen. And I'm telling you, she's been displaying the superstar spirit because every time she comes, she don't come by herself. Amen. She brings somebody new with her every time she come in this building since the first time. Amen. Because at the end of the day, that's work. That's a part of being inclined to build. Touch yourself and say, I'm inclined to build. I gotta build something in my life. Now watch this. The word slothfulness— I got to teach you this really quick— it's from the root word sloth. A sloth is a neotropical mammal that hangs upside down all day and is not aggressive, refuses to hunt, has an expectation that all of his food will come to him. Most of the time, the sloth only eats what's in his reach, what's climbing up the tree, and he survives off of that in his parameter. He never expands his borders. He hangs upside down and sleeps and eats. Watch this. The only danger a sloth proposes is when you bring him close and you propose a threat to him because you're too close to him, you're invading his space. A sloth is deadly, and his fangs on his paws and his teeth will rip you to pieces and kill you. What am I saying? You have to purge your life of sloths. That's right. Of slothful people. That's right. You gotta stop bringing people close that ain't willing to do the work because they are dangerous. They will kill your dream. You cannot fit a 16 by 20 idea in a 3 by 5 You've been trying to feed your big dream to this little bit of brain that has no work ethic, this slothful person. It's never going to happen. What they're going to do is kill your dream before you bring them up. Wow. You feed them from a long-handled spoon. That's right. Hallelujah. I got to go. 2 Thessalonians 3. Somebody said, give me some Bible on that slothfulness. I don't believe 2 Thessalonians 3. Let me give you some word. Glory to God. Wonderful Jesus. 3, verse 10 through 12. Let me read. But even when we were with you— these are the apostles talking to the church at Thessalonica. This is why apostolic influence is so important. I'm talking about real authentic apostles. Apostles, right? Let me just break down what it is, and I have to right here because that's the dialogue that's going on, and that's the office I hold. Let me, let me give this disclaimer: if it was left up to me, I wouldn't be an apostle. I would just be a regular dude doing what Kasi and Franklin do, trying to do it anyway. I'll be trying to play or sing or just sit there and do nothing, pay my tithes and hear the word and dominate, right? But because God called me to this office, I gotta do it. So it, it's, it's not off for me to define what an apostle is, and I think I really need to do it right now for those watching, those in the room, because I think a lot of times, because we see the word apostle our definitive value on it has decreased and decreased and decreased because those that call themselves apostles are not living up truly to what an apostle is. So an apostle comes from the Greek word apostolos, and apostolos means sent one, a special messenger. So let me share with you right there. First of all, a sent one sent by God. Man cannot appoint apostles. God sends apostles. That's why when you see stuff online, apostle elect, that's wrong. You cannot elect an apostle. Apostles are affirmed in heaven by God. That's right. The only thing that happens when apostles come to Earth, there's a second witness by other apostles that affirm what God has said. Amen. But they're not consecrating him or doing anything or ordaining him. What they're doing is just saying, we witness to what God said, and we say to the people, this person is an apostle. Right now, that apostle is a sent one who is sent to their number one with plenipotentiary status. I gotta say this here because that's the dialogue. I'm closing, I promise you. Plenipotentiary means that an apostle, a real apostle, has a multitude of gifts. Plenipotential, which means the apostle has the ability to flow in and out of all 9 gifts of the Spirit, right? Tongues, interpretation of tongues, discerning of spirits, word of knowledge, word of faith. Oh my God, healings, miracles, prophecy, word of wisdom, word of knowledge. He has all 9 and can fluently flow in and out of them through the Holy Spirit. Plenipotentiary. He also has the ability to flow in and out of all of the fivefold ascension gifts. Amen. You can't tell me you're an apostle if you're not prophetic, right? I didn't say pathetic, I said prophetic. Which means he has an inclination to prophesy. So apostles have the ability to see into the future, to foretell what is coming, to align their mouth with God's mouth and speak what God says. So the apostle also has the ability to pastor. Amen. So watch this, you can look at, you can look at the plenipotentiary status of an apostle in This area, if you look at your hand, the apostle is the thumb. Glory to God, he can touch everything. He could touch everything. Watch this, the point of finger is the prophet. It's a TV on or something. Thank you, Jesus. All right, anyway, the apostle could touch every— say the apostle has plenipotentiary. I know that's a new word for some of y'all. Say it again. Say plenipotentiary. I want you to know this because next time you see an apostle, I want you checking them out, right? Right. Make sure they got plenipotentiary status. So they should be prophesied. Secondly, he's this finger. This finger is the evangelist. It's the longest. It reaches into the world. He's the pastor. The pastor's married to the church. So Apostle can be a pastor. He's the pinky. I think this is most important. He's also a teacher. So the Apostle ain't going— every time you see him, holler and scream. And tune up and hoop. Glory to the name of God. That's not his assignment. His assignment is to teach, to bring balance to the body. And the real apostles are teachers. Now God knows my first calling was an evangelist, so I love to preach, but there are times when we preach and there are times when we know we gotta teach, which is most of the time. Glory to God. Because at the end of the day, the body needs Bound. Somebody say bound. So he has plenty of potential status. So he's a sent one with plenty of potential status. He's also a sent one with gubernatorial authority, which means the apostle has governmental authority. Amen. Gubernatorial is government. He's given the government of Jesus Christ on his shoulder. So apostles bring order, they bring structure, they bring government to not just the church but they bring government to various sections in the world. As a matter of fact, when an apostle shows up with his or her government— an apostle, the first thing an apostle is going to do is measure where you are. You cannot be in the presence of an apostle and never think you're not being measured. Amen. Every apostle has a metron, a measuring tool, a rule. Where they're measuring where you are in the spirit. But the purpose of that measuring is so that they can teach you how to manage the gift and ability in your life properly, to take you through the right phases of development, and then watch this, deploy you gubernatorially, governmentally, as a master, whether it be in ministry, whether it be in the marketplace, whether it be in the municipality, in government. But the apostle has the ability to deploy people into the world to do kingdom work. So y'all got that? So when you see an apostle again, I want you to check them out. Now, Apostle Lane One has always got the handout, right? The apostle is a paymaster. The apostle is one that empowers others. Okay, I could go all day with that because that's my stuff. Let's, let's, let's go, let's go. 2 Thessalonians 1:3, he said, for even we were with you. The apostle said, we were with you, we were measuring you, we were managing you, we were showing you how to manage the anointing on your life, to work out the things in you. We were deploying you as masters. He said, we will give you this command. Watch this, because of the government that's on apostle's life, the ability to command a thing is in his DNA spiritually. I have seen in my own ministry me speaking, reading, speaking territory, speak over individuals' lives, and I've seen things come to pass because God gave me the authority to command it to happen. He's a commander in God's army. He's an admiral who leads. That's why we need the apostle. We need apostles. So the apostle said, we could— we gave you this command He said, if anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. So the apostle said, if you're slothful, you don't deserve to eat. Single mothers, let me tell y'all something. Listen to me. Stop letting them negroes sit at your table, eat with your children, and often assistance you get eating, and they ain't bringing nothing to help the cause. All right, it's working. Okay, he said if you're slow, well, you don't deserve to eat. That's right. Everybody ought to have a work ethic, a grind. Kingdom people should never clock out. Kingdom people should never sleep because the work is always there. It's always something to be done. I got to go. He said, but we hear that some of you walk in idleness or slothfulness, not busy at work. Orgasmon minios is work, which means any effort that is exerted mentally, intellectually, or spiritually. That's a means— watch this— to a permanent end. Because all labor ain't work. Some labor only ends with a paycheck. But when you exerting yourself mentally, physically, spiritually, aligned with purpose, it's a means to a permanent end. It's a means to not linear income but horizontal income that comes from a— I'm sorry, vertical income that comes from a purpose that comes from God. Uh, that's a whole nother teaching. He said, but you're not busy working. Got a lot of people in church working on everything else except what God really put them on the planet to work on. I need you to work on what you're supposed to be working on, because that's the key to overflow. Because guess what? You'll be working hard at something. I've heard people say, man, I work so hard, I'm working 40, 50, 60 hours a week and I'm still not getting ahead. Tell them, because you're working on the wrong thing. That's right. See, what you need to do is get a plan that if you giving them 40 hours, you need to be giving the God dream another 40 hours. So when you get over there, if you got to do that right now, you need to put just as much energy and work in the God dream that you putting in that dream, that temporary paycheck. Cuz what you want is permanency. You want a blessing that you ain't even got to worry about money no more. That's right. And real work eradicates that. That's right. I'm not talking about labor, I'm talking about real work. Right. I'm talking about taking the gifts. Every time I listen to my wife, ever since she's been singing, I'm all I was thinking, how can I employ this in a way that's non-traditional to exchange this for stream for her? Because at the end of the day, money— listen to this— is what you do in work when you give somebody something they cannot get without you. And what you got to decide What can you give the world that they can't get unless you give it to them, right? Think about that. What can you give this planet? Every one of you got something in you. You gotta discover it. It's never your decision, it's your discovery. That's right. So you got to spend some time with God and discover it. I gotta go, I gotta go. He said, but you're not working your busybodies. That word in Greek, oh my God, instead of orgazomenos, it's periagomenos, which means, oh my God, you're meddling, you're overly concerned about everything else but you. I play a lot of golf, and one of the things that have made me a better golfer— there was a time when I stepped start first, start playing golf, and even into the process, I would be playing with guys that were much better than me. So I would look at them hit the ball. And so a lot of times you playing in the foursome and you hit the worst, you're gonna hit last every time, right? So you gotta watch everybody hit. So I'm sitting there watching like, oh my God, these guys flying this ball out of here. And I'm focusing on what they're doing. Then one day I stepped to the tee, the Lord said, stop worrying about everybody else. It's just you, this ball, and this fairway. I cleared my head of everybody else. I know they thought I was acting funny because I stopped talking, I stopped saying good shot, I stopped saying all that. I started focusing on what I was doing. And when I start focusing on me and what I was doing and putting in the work, now I'm saying, people, I hit the ball further than them, more consistent, more accurate than them. I beat them all the time because I stopped being overly concerned with how they were playing, right? My only concern is what the score look like when we get through. And when we get through, I'm always on top, right? Because I focus on putting the work in on me. Focus on paying attention to my mistakes, my shortcomings. If we did that in the body, yes, wow, we would be so successful. That's right, we'd be so effective in what we're called to do. I'm almost done. He said, not such persons, don't lazy busybodies. He said, I command you and encourage you in the Lord, be quiet, do your work quietly. Stop paying attention to everything else and earn your own living. Can I tell y'all something? I gotta quit. I had— I got— I'll just teach it another time. Listen, y'all stand. I'm doing— I'm done. Did y'all learn anything today? 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. Well, praise the Lord. This is Apostle Mike Woods. I love you all.
