No More Limits, Part 4: The Spirit of Faith | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr.

Dr. Mike Woods, Sr. teaches that faith, not knowledge or effort, removes personal limits. He uses biblical examples like Caleb's "bulldog faith" and Isaiah 54 to show how faith expands capacity, and warns against letting negative voices dictate your destiny.
Chapters
Well, praise the Lord, everybody! I'm so glad you're here. Listen, I promise you, this word is something you need tonight. Uh, this is gonna be a part 4, actually, in our series on No More Limits. And listen, we've been getting so blessed by these teachings, but the Lord impressed upon me tonight to jump on here and drop this word and give you something to sleep on. Because I promise you guys, you need to start operating in this realm where there are no limitations. And when you move in the supernatural and you trust God with your life, there are no limits. You just got to have the mechanics, you got to have the science and the technology on how to apply these things. And that's what we're teaching. See, some of us like to chase after hype and entertainment, but You need some word that's gonna change the very trajectory of your life and take the limits off so you could be a better kingdom citizen in this world. So do me a favor, guys. I'm glad you're here. Listen, I'm here. We're live tonight. I need you to share this. It's Saturday night. Glory to God. And I need you to share this, share this, share this, and I promise you, you will be blessed for doing so. The Bible said we're blessed to be a blessing. What a better seed to sow There is no better seed to sow than the word of the living God. So plant this seed in somebody's life tonight. I want to— I'm just, I'm really being obedient to God and giving you something that you could sleep on tonight. I was supposed to be in Mississippi this week in revival. I was so disappointed that I could not go. Listen, and I want to apologize to the saints in Jackson. I know you guys were eagerly awaiting the services this week. But the enemy attacked my body. And it's only, you know, when you, when you open yourself up to attack— I'm gonna just be transparent and honest with you— that's, he can't attack you unless you're open. And not getting the proper rest, all this traveling I've been doing this year, I, I mean, I have been burning up some sky miles and some miles on the road, uh, just in ministry and doing the things that God has called us to do. It's been a lot. And I think when I got back from Dallas on Sunday, I got off the plane, went straight into the service to preach. God moved, uh, miracles and breakthrough happened in the service. And man, immediately there was backlash and retaliation because I was just physically drained and tired. So I need you guys, you intercessors, you prayer warriors, all the prophets and evangelists and 5-fold ministries that are me. You know, Felicia, she's an intercessor, she covers me, but the more the better. All right, so you need to pray for Apostle Woods. When you're praying, make sure you call my name. Amen. And intercede. So we're excited tonight to drop this word. I believe it's going to be a blessing to you. I want you to understand, like never before, that there are no limitations in God. We've been teaching this series, At the Command of God, and if you haven't been following this series, shame on you. And probably the reason you're stuck and have all these limits in your life, because you will not get the discipline necessary. I mean, we'll— people will sit down and scroll their phone for hours looking through just nonsense and won't take an hour to listen to the word, absorb it, and let it become practical in their life, and then go out and make application. All right, so the reality is you, you got to get your mind right, get your mind disciplined. You know, I'm super excited about what God is doing, uh, DMV, excited about Atlanta, excited about Jackson. But here's what I do know: I believe that in every one of these ministries, God is putting key people around me that can operate with discipline toward God, not me, and operate with no limits in their life. So if you're a leader that's connected to me, you need to take the brakes off. And because this is not normal, I was talking to somebody a few weeks ago who I really just believe was going to connect with what we were doing in Mississippi, one of the leaders. And they told me they had to pray about it. I had much respect for that because here's the reality. I don't want anyone connected to what we're called to do that's not supposed to be there. Okay, so if you're not supposed to be— I want people who have the mindset to build what God has called us to build, and that's a place where we raise up people of dominion, people of Rada. That's dominion. So Listen, I'm excited about how God is using us to plant and build, but we, we, we in the seasons of foundation, we need people connected that want to go where we're trying to go. We don't need people confused about that. Amen. So yeah, if you need to pray, please get clarity from God and find the discipline to not be so religious that you feel like you got to be in a building I mean, you could sit right in front of your television, your phone, and— or your phone, your tablet, your computer, whatever— and watch the teachings and get exactly what you need. You know, there's no— there's no substitute for corporate worship. And we— we're— come tell you, we're getting to that. We get the building is secured. We just gotta get all the movers to load up all the church equipment, the chairs, everything, because we got a whole church already that we're just gonna move in the building, right? So just, just, just, oh my God, just, just get the mindset that you need to receive what you need. Watch this, so you can do what you need to do. So please guys, share this for me. That's the first order of business. We are blessed to be a blessing. So I need you right now to share this this live stream. Okay, let's pray and we're gonna jump right in this. Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you tonight for this word, and we thank you, God, for your anointing. And I decree and declare, Lord, that it is your anointing that destroys the yokes. It's your anointing that removes burdens. And I thank you for your desire for us, and I believe with all of my heart It is your desire for us to live a life without limits. And so, Father, I thank you for the mandate to teach this. And God, I pray that as we teach it, your people will take the position of learners, not from me, a mere man, but as the Holy Spirit teaches through me. I pray that your people would receive this, grab it, and Father, in the name of Jesus, apply it to their lives. And I give you praise for that in Jesus' name. Let us experience the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Spirit even now in Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Oh my, God bless your heart. I feel Jesus, man. So, all right, so let's just give just a little review. This tonight, I'm— again, I got pressed to just jump on here and give you this word tonight, man, because I mean, I couldn't hold it no longer. So I'm here, right? So this is part 4 of our series, No More Limits. Somebody type that in the comments, No more limits. Come on, type in no more limits. No more limits in your finances. No more limits in— on your faith. No more limits in your family. No more limits in your business. No more limits in your profession. No more limits in terms of your education if you're trying to get more education. I'm just saying, God has tapped us into a season where the limitations have been removed. They are— they're already removed. And if you're still limited, it means you don't have the mechanics, you don't have the science, you don't have the technology that's necessary to apply to your life to remove the limits. So when you receive the word, I need you to take it and apply it. So by way of review, guys, uh, message 1, we talked about stepping up our faith because at the end of the day, You can never walk in this realm where the things that were once impossible are now possible for you if you don't have faith. Because here's the bottom line: you can't live in this realm of no limits, or in this realm of unusual manifestations, of things that manifest beyond your intellect, beyond your personal resources, beyond your physical strength. Oh God, you can't do it if you don't have God. And the Bible says in Hebrews 11:6, without faith it is impossible to please God. So we started teaching this by talking about stepping up your faith, and we talked about how every person is given a measure of faith and that we should move from faith to faith, right? Glory be to God. We, we talked about how Paul had a faith challenge and he stepped up his faith. And we talked about— and this is the main thing I want to— want you to remember in that teaching as I move tonight, is that we talked about where— how we're only personally limited in our capacity. Hear this: when we are limited, hear me, our faith. I'm gonna say that one more time. We're only limited in our capacity when we are limited in our faith. Put your hand on your chest and say, I'm only limited in my capacity when I am limited in my faith. So you should make a deliberate decision— Lord, I feel the anointing— to grow and mature your faith every day. He said without faith you can't please God. Watch this, he didn't say without prophecy, he didn't say without being an apostle, he didn't say without being a prophet or having a great title. I know a bunch of apostles who have no faith, which makes their apostolic ministry very weak. I know a lot of prophets who have no faith, which makes their prophetic mantle limited. I know evangelists with no faith, which makes their evangelistic thrust limited. Teachers with no faith, it makes life— husbands with no faith, wives with no faith, it makes your life limited when your faith is limited. So deliberately, you need to step up your faith daily. Go back and watch that. It's on this YouTube channel, it's on this Facebook page, it's on this Twitter page, wherever you're watching. If you listen to the podcast, go back and listen to it again, because at the end of the day, you got to step up your faith. Your limitations are rooted in the limits of your faith. And then secondly, in part 2, we, we taught a message on a Sunday at the church entitled God's Got This. It takes faith to believe that, that God is in control of every aspect of your life. God's got it. And then last week we talked about expanded capacity. Oh, we talked about how God wants to increase your volume and make room for more in your life. Please watch the video. Tonight, part 4, My God Today. We're going to talk about— we got to go back to faith, man. God pressed this thing on me today, said go back to faith, because no matter what I teach in this series, it's not going to matter if you do not embrace the spirit of faith. And that's what we're going to discuss tonight, the spirit of faith. Somebody type that in the comments, the spirit of faith. I need you very quickly, please, if you would, to go to— let's see, let's go to Isaiah 54. Glory to God. Isaiah 54, and I'm going to read verses 2 and 3. Say that with me. Say, the spirit of faith. The Bible says, enlarge the place of your tent and let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations. Spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes. For thou shalt break forth on the right and on the left, and thy seed— hear me— shall inherit the Gentiles and make the desolate cities be inhabited. Again, we got to step up our faith. Here's what the prophet is saying. See, some of you trying to run to a church where a bunch— he looks at him— I, I love to prophesy, man. I thank God he blessed me to be a prophet. I'm grateful that that grace is on my life. I've been prophesying for almost 3 decades, over 3 decades now. Okay, listen, prophesying shall cease, but the word stands forever. So if you want to see limits removed And you want to see real breakthrough in your life, you got to learn to embrace what the word says. See, we try to go to church and get prophecy, and there's so much prophecy in the scripture. The scripture just told us to take the limits off. That's a word for you tonight. Enlarge your tent. Hallelujah! Span your territory. Glory to God. And he said you're going to break forth on the right hand and on the left. In other words, no, in no direction you move will you be able to be stopped. Watch this. I heard that, Lord. In every direction you will be unstoppable. Oh my God. Ah, ah, oh my God. Type that in the comments. In every direction. I am unstoppable. It doesn't matter whether you go up north, south, east, west. Glory to God. You can go all the way to Antarctica. In every direction, you are unstoppable. Lord, help us tonight. Oh, good God Almighty. Good God Almighty, there's no man on earth or woman on earth, no human, no entity, no problem, no culture that could stand before you when you allow the limits to be removed from your life and you move in God. I told y'all that there's some big faith projects that we had for the ministry. Like getting buildings. These things are happening, man. Like planting two other churches this year. These things are happening. Like taking leaders at the end of the year on cruise. It's happening. Big faith projects. Hallelujah. Revival and transformation in every city we go in. It's happening. But we had to take the limits off. We cannot look through the lens of our natural eyes. We had to take the limits off and see God's plan through his eyes. Oh my God, the only thing that would limit what God has told us to do this year with taking those 50, uh, those 50 individuals on a cruise with Glory to God. Purchasing 3 churches debt-free. Glory to God. Now I'm not talking about sitting in the lawyer's office closing. I'm talking about cash on the table. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Owning no man nothing but to love him. I'm not talking about creating a bill. Glory to God. I'm talking about being the bank because I'm in the kingdom and making sure that there is no bill, there's no oweage connected to what God has called us to do. Yeah, yeah, I know. Okay, yeah, but anyway, the only thing that could stop what we need to do this year— to— the only thing that will stop us from reaching 365 souls in Jackson, another 365, glory to God, in this— this— okay, so in one year after birth in Jackson, we're believing God for 365 souls. That, that was our faith declaration for the year. We're declaring it every day. We're believing that for the DMV. We're believing that for this year for Atlanta. We're halfway through. And can I tell you something? It's going to happen. Listen, God is going to do it because our faith is not limited. Hoo-wee! Lord have mercy. So let's look at some things in scripture to show you how the spirit of faith works. Let's go to Numbers 13. I want to get into this. Numbers 13. Glory be to Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers. Numbers, the 13th chapter, and we're going to look at verses 1, 2, and 3 first because this is a very interesting piece of the Israelites crossing over into the promised land. Now, 10 spies were sent in before the people to check things out. Let's read it and let's just kind of see where— because you got to be careful whose eyes you're looking through. Remember I said that you can't allow how someone else sees things to affect your faith and your movement in God. You can't let people who don't have a spirit of faith make judgment. I don't care how smart they are. I don't care how practical they are. I don't care how much common sense they got. But you cannot let people who are weak in faith Listen to me, help you make decisions that require faith. Let's look at this in text. Glory to God. And the Lord spake to Moses saying, now let me stop right there, verse 1. So remember, anytime God speaks in past, present, or future, listen, it is law. He is a king. And anytime a king decrees a thing, By principle, it becomes law. So whenever God speaks to you personally through a prophet, that thing is law. Whenever God speaks to you out of his word, it's law. So watch this. God spoke to Moses. Notice this. He spoke to the one that was— Moses' name means to be drawn out, called out. Glory to God. He spoke to the one that was called out, the one that had the authority, the faith. Watch this, to lead the people into this promise. And he said, send men that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel. Of every tribe of their fathers shall you send a man, everyone a ruler among them. So God gives him clear instructions. He says, okay, send men. Now watch this. He said, now you— I trust you, Moses. Word men there is enosh in Hebrew. He says, send men, send men. Enosh deals with— watch this— men of your like character. Enosh, men who are congruent with you hear this, in spirit, in naush, men that are accountable, watch this, and loyal to the same things you are. Now watch this, with that said, understanding the plight of Moses over these 40 years, most of these people did not believe God like Moses did. As a matter of fact, the scripture said Moses knew the ways of God, but Israel knew the acts of God. So really, Moses should have been very circumspect, did all of his due diligence before he chose men to send. Watch this. Verse 3 says, and Moses, by the commandment of the Lord, sent them from the wilderness of Paran, Midbar in Hebrew, which means uninhabited land. All those men were heads of the children of Israel. Okay. These men who were chosen to spy out the land, They were to search the land. Let's— we're still in Numbers 13. Let's drop down to verse number 25. Numbers 13:25. We're going to see what actually happened, right? Numbers 13:25. Watch this. They returned from searching the land. All right, tour, searching. Which means they were exploring it, they were spying it out, right? After 40 days. And they went and came to Moses and Aaron, to Aaron and to all the congregation of Israel, unto the wilderness of Paran and to Kadesh, and brought back word unto them, not the word of the Lord, but word based on their findings, and showed them the fruit of the land. And they told them and said, we came into the land where thou sent us. Watch this. Surely they seen it with their own eyes. God had promised this. It flows with milk and honey. God had already promised them, I'm going to take you to a land that flows with milk and honey. They seen it and they had fruit in their hand and said, this is the fruit of it. So they got fruit off the trees. They saw the milk and honey. They saw cattle and bees and harvest, a beautiful land that God had promised. Wait a minute. Verse 28. Nevertheless, the people be strong that dwell in the land and the city are walled and very great, and moreover the children of Anak are there. Wait a minute. In other words, they said the land is good, Moses, but they came with a good report, confirmed what God had told Moses, but they put a limit on What God said, because God already said you're gonna inhabit the land that flows with milk and honey. Now here's my question. They said the people in the land are strong, cities are walled and very great. So they saw these big walls, but how do you really know the people are strong? I mean, I mean, I guess you could physically look and probably guess that. And very great. But watch this. If they really knew God, God is greater. That's why you cannot react to what others see and allow them to affect your faith. Watch this. And moreover, we saw— listen to this— the children of Anak giants. So it's always somebody when you have no limits, you're going to always have an opposer. That's gonna try to limit God. But if God promised it, I don't care how big the wall, I don't care how strong the people, I don't care how hard the obstacle, I don't care what the enemy throws. He could throw everything at you but the kitchen sink. But can I tell you something? God is stronger. God is bigger, baby. Listen, God is bigger than anything that could come up at you. He's bigger than your bank account. He's bigger than your circumstance. He's bigger than your challenges. Shikile biskutu rabadesi. He's bigger. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen. There's no limits in him. But if you open your spirit up to— watch this— testimony that come from people who lack faith in God, you're going to start believing like they do. They'll affect your faith and impose limits. And can I submit to you tonight? I hear that, Lord. Many of you are moving in limitations right now. Hear me, because you've listened to people all your life they have no faith. I don't converse with people. Listen to me. I don't give them the time of day. I don't give them my ear who do not talk faith. I'ma immediately shut it down, or I'm gonna dismiss myself from the conversation because I have too much I have to believe God for to allow you to affect what God said to me. Not even personally, but he said it to you too. Some of the things he said to all of us, it amazes me, the people that attend church that don't believe what the Bible says about your money, what the Bible says about prosperity, what the Bible says about the anointing and power. Woo! What the Bible says about heaven on earth. Come on. What the Bible says about healing, but we don't believe the doc because guess what? We'll believe the doctor's report because guess what? Negative never needs evidence. You know why? You could— if you keep reading this, this word that these spies brought, hallelujah, infected the minds of the people. They became afraid because negative— they didn't— they weren't there. They just— the report was a negative report. They— negative never— you notice when somebody brings you negative how quick you are to buy in. You don't know if it's true or not, but if it sounds good, if it's juicy, you'll buy in real fast. You better stop lending your ears to that crap and put your ears to the word and to the mouth of God and to people who are talking faith. I, I don't need to hear what God— what you think God can't do, because the Bible says all things are, are possible With God, with God, all things are possible. My God, today. Oh, I got to get out of here, man. Drop down to verse 30 and 31. Well, see, watch this. This guy named Caleb, let's read about him a little bit. Oh, now watch this. Caleb's name in Hebrew, I love it, it means dog or watchdog or guard dog. It's the implication of one that protects and guards. Caleb was— he was a bulldog. Y'all gotta go back and watch my teachings on Bulldog Faith. He believed what God said. So the Bible said, and Caleb stilled the people before Moses and said, let's go at once and possess it, for we are well able to overcome it. But the men that went up with him said, we be not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we. Listen to me. Caleb was ready to take the land. Let's go to Hebrews 3:19. Watch this, I'm going to show you something. I'm going to show you what limits will forfeit. Hebrews— we're still talking about the same thing, but Hebrews 3, hallelujah, and 19. Lord, I love you. Shemanda kalibebes. I hope y'all getting something out of this. Ura bansiku. Hebrews 3:19, the Bible says, watch this. So we see that they could not enter— wait a minute— because of unbelief. They couldn't enter because they didn't have the spirit of faith. They couldn't enter because they were limited in their faith. They didn't believe God. Some of the doors you're locked out of, it's not because you're black, it's not because you're white, weren't born in the right family, not because you're a female. Some of the doors you're locked out of is because your faith is limited. Oh God, oh God. Y'all don't believe it still, do you? Okay, let's go to Psalm 78. Go to Psalm 78. We're in the word tonight. Psalm 78. Stay with me. You want to be entertained? This ain't the live. This is not the one. It ain't the one. This is wrong, wrong live. You want some crap? But if you want some, some food that you can live by and take the limits off your life, you're in the right place. You're in the right place. Glory to God. Psalm 78:41. This is a Saturday night special, I'm telling you, you better grab this. The Bible says, yes, they turned back, watch this, and tempted, nakah in Hebrew, tested God and limited the Holy One of Israel. Wait a minute, they tied 'Cause you can't please God without faith. The just lives by faith. God responds to faith. They limited the Holy One of Israel. You can limit God. Whew. When you move in unbelief. Some of you don't understand why you're not hearing answers to your prayers. 'Cause you don't believe what you're praying for. You don't believe that when you pray the word, he's gonna do it. The Bible said, believe, you shall receive that which you ask. When you pray, when you pray, stand praying believing that you shall receive that which you ask. You, you really wonder why some things are not opening up. Why? The things that you've been asked, you gotta believe it for real. Untie the hands of God so he can bless you. Some of you scared to ask God for that big thing. Some of you— I, I'm— listen, I confess I'm a billionaire every day, and I put in the work every day because I know it ain't gonna fall out the sky. It's because faith without works is dead. So I follow God's plan to get to that valuation in my life. I'm not scared of a billion. I'm not scared to ask for a billion because I need a billion for the kingdom. I got too much to do, and a billion makes it easy. I'm not interested in impressing people, having Bentleys and 5G. Yeah, I was looking at a preacher, just really got under my skin. This man is renting his church building But all pride, I could see it in his eyes, doing a live, you know, on, on, on his private jet, flying a private jet to do a meeting. How about buy a building by faith instead of wasting money? It ain't your jet. You're renting a jet and paying all this money to— come on, man, fly commercial and buy a church. Come on. All right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Yeah, I'm sorry. Okay, yeah, I'm back and I'm better. I'm back, my strength is back. Yeah, glory to God. Yeah, so that's not my interest, impressing people. I need a billion so I can empower entrepreneurs. Part of the Dominion model for living as a Rada person is the ability to deploy others into Dominion status. So if I got a billion, that makes it easier for me to help others fund their dreams. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. Okay, whatever, whatever. So let's go back. Well, no, I don't want to go back to that. Let's go to Numbers 14. Let's go there. Numbers 14. We're going back to Numbers, but we're going to 14, not 13. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers. Y'all got it? Stay with me. Listen, you listen to me teach, you better get in the word, man. Numbers 14. So verses 7 through 11, I'm not going to read them. I'm going to drop down to verse 22, but I'm going to explain it. The limiters Watch this. Wanted to stone Caleb. See, people who are limited in their thinking are always against your progress. They are never for you. So that's why you can't talk to everybody about your dream. You can't talk to everybody about what God's doing in your life. Because if they're limited, they're analyzing what you're saying through their limitations. And most of the time, if they're your enemy, they're strategizing on how to make sure you don't do it. And because Caleb was talking this, these jokers like, let's kill this joker. That he crazy. He want to take us over here. Y'all can read it, Numbers 14, verses 7 through 11. They wanted to kill him. But what— but Caleb was different. What set him apart? Why? Listen, you are— you know, when I read the Bible, read it different. I mean, really, what was easier for Caleb that he could make the confession, we're gonna take the land because God said we're gonna take it, we're gonna take it? Why was it so easy for him to confess that when all these other folk couldn't see it? Why was it easy for Caleb? Why, why a lot of times you look at other people being blessed and you say, why is it so easy for them to receive? Oh, here we go. I'm gonna say something that's gonna break your religious back. Yeah, because some of you think just because you're saved, God's obligated to do things for you. Not. God responds to faith. A sinner— this is going to break your religious back— with faith can do more than a born-again person with no faith. Okay, I'm gonna leave that right there. And let you let that marinate, because then I want you to start thinking about all the billionaires, all the multimillionaires, all the Fortune 500 companies that are run by people that don't even believe in God, but they believed in what they were doing. That's faith. See, we got the advantage Because not only can we believe in what we're doing, we can believe in God to assist us in doing it. Oh God, oh my God, oh my God. That's why you gotta believe. What's— so what sets Caleb off? What sets apart, you know, people with you know, that operate in the spirit of small, small dreams, small business, small homes, small, small, small, small. And they just think small because they think they're limited to that, because they know that's where they believe. And they have a low-key hatred for people that think big. What makes the person that achieves at a high level, level, I'm sorry, different? What makes Caleb different? I'm glad you asked, man. Let's go to Numbers 14:24. What makes him different? But my servant Caleb, 14:24, that's 22, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I jumped ahead of myself 'cause I got excited. Verse 22 said, because all those men who have seen my glory, and my miracles, which I did in Egypt, in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these 10 times and have not hearkened to my voice. So God says they done seen quail fall out the sky. They done watched their own clothes grow with their body. They done got fed manna from heaven. They done seen the Red Sea part. They done seen God defeat armies for them in the wilderness, but yet couldn't believe. He said, verse 23, surely they shall not see the land which I swear unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoke me see it. This is why these original Israelites never got in the promised land. Their children went in, their babies. Oh, faith will limit you. They died. Don't you die in the wilderness. Watch this, they wandered in the wilderness for 40 years and didn't get in the promised land. I'm telling you, don't die in the wilderness. Don't die without getting the promised land. I'm almost done, I really am. Verse 20 said— verse 24 says, but my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him and have followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereunto he went, and his seed shall possess it. What makes Caleb different? Glad you asked. Caleb had another spirit. What was that spirit, Michael? You already know. It wasn't the anointing. Caleb wasn't squinting his eyes. He didn't have the spirit of prophecy. Caleb had the spirit of faith. He had another spirit, a spirit that was different than the doubters, the limiters. He had a spirit of faith that believed and trusted God, so much so that God called him my servant, so much so that him and his tribe was the only people that went in out of the original group. Lord Jesus, he cultivated a spirit of faith man. He took in what God said. He watched Moses do the miracles, and he believed God. Listen, you got to believe the word, man. You got to believe this book. It don't lie. Oh my God, he believed God that he was going to possess this land even before he went out to spy. He had already cultivated in his heart that whatever God says is true. That's what faith is, is believing what God says to be true, eating it for lunch and dinner, not allowing anything to distract you from what God said. Let's go to 2 Corinthians 4:13. 2 Corinthians 4:13. The Bible says this, it says, we having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed and therefore have I spoken, we also believe and therefore speak. My God, today, listen, when we believe, we speak on what we believe. Our words are powerful, man. You can't say what's negative even though it's convenient, even though facts may be saying one thing. All facts are not truth. You got to speak the truth even when facts present themselves against truth. The doctor may give you a fact that he found something in your blood that says you have cancer. Well, the truth is with his stripes you're healed. Question becomes, whose report would you believe? My God, my God. This man Caleb is a great example. He removed every limit. He enlarged his faith capacity. Glory to God. To take what God had already promised. Listen, you got to enlarge that capacity, get the spirit of faith so you could take what God promised. Listen, I love this because here's what I understand, and I'm closing. What God has told you to do— watch this, hear me— determines your faith capacity. If God said it, he means business. Watch this, he backs up what he says. He's waiting on you to believe. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, hallelujah. Thank you for this Saturday night word. I pray right now for those listening that their faith capacity will enlarge, it will increase, it will get bigger, it will get better. And I pray that they will take what you've already promised in your word and to them personally. I declare now that no limits are on their life, and what you promised them shall and will come to pass. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Listen, I love you guys tonight. Thank you for tuning in. Listen, if you're in Atlanta I need you to do something for me. I need you to be at Rhoda Church on tomorrow at 3:00 PM. It's going to be absolutely phenomenal. You want to get part 5 of this teaching, man. I can't wait to teach tomorrow. Glory to God. So you need to be in the building to get exactly what you need. I love y'all, man. Listen, I'll be in the DMV this coming Friday night. Listen, if you're in the DC, Maryland, Virginia area, you need to meet me in Woodbridge, Virginia. Yes, Lord, at the Courtyard by Marriott, 7:30 PM Friday, May 26th. It's going down. We're trusting God for the wind and the fire of God to meet us in the DC area. You want to be there, man. I'm telling you, it's going to be great. I love y'all, man. Y'all be blessed. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. 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.
