Bow down and worship him.

Hallelujah! Glory to God! Listen, if you have two hands in this building, I want you to lift them. Glory to God! Just lift them. The word in Hebrew is yada. It means I surrender. And every song they've sung this morning was saying to God, we surrender to you. I want nothing but— I want you to open your mouth without the help of the praise team and just while your hands are lifted and begin to give him the fruit of your lips. Come on, begin to worship him in this building. Worship is demonstrative. It means you got to do something. Come on, give him the fruit of your lips. Anybody can praise. Yeah, the Bible said let everything that have breath praise, but anybody can't worship.

The Bible said them that worship must worship in spirit and in truth. It ain't real worship if you don't know him. You can't worship God if you don't know God. Le tamaman de te tebe sataya. And you can't worship God without a sacrifice. I wonder if I have a few people that showed up at church to give God the sacrifice of worship. Come on, open your mouth, open your mouth. Come on, the worshipers are worshiping. God, we love you and we surrender all to you. Let them all to Jesus, our blessed Savior. We surrender all. We pour ourselves out as a drink offering. Lebese, shabanto shatabaya, rambuso tul rabakaya. I dare you to press in. Tabandeso, rebe sataya, rambuya.

I'm telling you right now, noise is not the anointing.

Noise is not worship. But you can tap into God for real if out of your spirit and out of your heart. And I taught you last week that worship doesn't affect God. Worship is for you. It's for you to open heaven. It's for you to create a kingdom culture in the midst of earth. Open your mouth and worship him. God, we love you and we adore you. We bless you, God. You're so amazing. You're so amazing. You're so amazing, God. Come on, worship him like you know him. God, we love you. God, we adore you. God, we bless your high name and we give you the glory. We give you the honor. God, you're perfectly and absolutely It's in you we live. It's in you we move, God. It's in you we have our being. You're the joy and the lifter of our head, God, and we give you glory. Oh, Shia. We bless your high name, God. Great is our God, mighty is our King, glorious is his name. You're amazing, God. You're so amazing. Hallelujah. Give— the first song they sung was "Give Me You, Everything Else Can Wait." They didn't have to sing nothing else. They could have stayed right there because at the end of the day, all you need is him and the guarantee that he shows up up in your life is that you become a worshipper.

Oh, shut up. That's Jerry. Take, take us back to the top of that.

Give me you, give me you. We bless you, God. We honor you. We give you the glory, God. You're— oh my God, it's you we want, God. It's you we need, God. You are the desire of our heart. You're our only desire, God. You're our only desire above money, above houses, above cars, above land and property, God, above good relationships. You're all we need, God, and we declare it in this place.

Oh God, y'all sing it.

It's you, God, it's you. Our desire is to bring pleasure to you. Our desire is to honor you with our life, God. Not just a song, not just worship experiences, but with our life.

Hallelujah! Glory to God, we bless his name. We're gonna move forward, glory to God, really quickly. Glory to God, we just— I'm just gonna bridge into this. Mario, you could take that scripture down, just put something else up, put the welcome sign up, because I'm not preaching. And I'm glad my friend came. I've been trying to get him every time he come to Atlanta to come over here, so finally When I got out the car today, I said, well, if he come today, I know he love me. And he walked in the door. Glory to God. Glory to God. I said, if he show up today, I know he love me. Glory to God. So my friend is here all the way from Los Angeles, California. I've been knowing him a long time. I used to go to True Church and preach revivals, and I'm talking about God used to meet us every time we went. And I'm so grateful for his friendship, the relationship with his family. We had an opportunity yesterday to transition our friend into heaven, Apostle Jeffrey McClendon, and we all came together around that cause yesterday. But Bishop is here, glory to God, and I wouldn't dare let him be in this room and not Speak to us. I believe there's a word from the Lord. Amen. So with that said, I want everybody to stand real quick. We're going to receive the man of God. Somebody said, boy, God is moving in this church today. The word is about to happen this fast. Yeah, because usually we'd be doing something else. Glory to God. But thanks be to God. Hallelujah. I believe it's a word from the Lord. Y'all believe it today? If you believe that, I want you to say, "Lord, send your word." Come on, say it again. Say, "Lord, send your word." Come on, one more time. "Lord, send your word." Put your hands together and let's receive Bishop David Canada from Los Angeles, California.

Amen.

Come on, let's give the Lord a hand praise in this place. Come on, let's give the Lord a hand praise in here. Come on, we can do better than that. Just give him one more hand praise in here. I know we've been worshiping, but just give him one more praise in here.

Hallelujah. We thank God for who he is. You can take your seats in the presence of the Lord. And we thank God this morning. Amen. This is the day that the Lord has made. Amen.

We are rejoicing.

Amen. We are rejoicing in the opportunity of this day. But he said, this is the day that the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.

Amen.

Amen. We thank God. Amen. For The invitation to rejoice. And as the, uh, your awesome pastor have already stated, that we are here on this side of the— here in Atlanta in support of my, my wonderful sister, Sister Pam. Elect Pam. Let's say amen for her. McClendon, amen, amen. As we just— as Pastor said, we just had an awesome celebration of the life and service that he have given in the body of Christ. Amen.

As—

and just as an individual, just as an individual himself, and And, uh, we want to thank God. I do want to just— in mentioning that, I have to honor his— he have two wonderful children in the house, grandson. Amen. The great Apostle Jeff McClendon, his daughter. And amen. Joe, I'm getting to know him better and better. We just been chopping it up. Amen. Let's give them a hand. Amen. Amen. We're yet— amen— lifting them and supporting them in the Amen. In prayer and in love.

Amen.

Amen, my sister. And, uh, so this is kind of a— amen. Just even at the mention of his name just now, it just— sometimes these things just kind of can just overtake you.

Amen.

Praise the Lord. But we thank God for, for his strength.

Amen.

He is our strength today. Amen. Praise the Lord. One thing that we know Amen. That, uh, that God have a design. There's a design in God. Amen. And he says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

And as believers, amen, praise the Lord, we can rejoice in that. Amen. We're human. Amen.

Amen. But we still have a reason to rejoice.

Amen.

Praise the Lord. Amen. We thank God. We considered this morning where we would come and worship. We thank God for all of the rest of the group of us that came and got up this morning. And some of us are still on Los Angeles time. Amen. It was— I looked at the clock this morning, I start counting, I come backwards, I said, oh, it's 6 o'clock, it's 6 o'clock in LA.

Amen. Praise the Lord.

But we thank God, amen, for the adjustment today. Amen. And amen, we have a group that came out with us as well from Los Angeles. Let's give them a hand. Praise. I want to thank God for these that have come out as well. We are happy to be with you this morning. I want to say amen, thank you again to our pre— uh, to this awesome man and woman of God. Each time that we have hit the city. Amen. As he said that, you know, he, he extended himself and extended, amen, themselves to us. Myself and my wife, she didn't make it this morning, but amen, they have always been so wholesome toward us. Amen. And I just want to publicly say, and I, I, I, this is intentional for me to be— I just felt like I had to be here this morning because because of the previous times that you've extended yourself, we weren't able to really get here. But this morning I said we need to get there this morning, and Sister Pam was like, you know, I think that would be a great thing as well. So I just want to publicly say thank you as well.

Amen.

Thank you and First Lady. You guys extended. Also, I wanted to publicly say, amen, that, amen, your pastor— I know you know your pastor. The Bible said know them that labor among us, amen, as you serve. But I just wanted you to know that your pastor have been very, uh, supportive, you know, in this time of grief to my sister, amen. And y'all know what it's like when your family is going through something, you desire to be there.

Amen.

But distance kind of had us apart.

Amen.

But you were— you guys were standing in the gap. Amen. And you know, you have really been a support to her, and I know she thank you, but I wanted to. And from, amen, the Canada family, amen, at large, we thank God for men and women such as you are. Amen. Amen. Just not in the pulpit talking, amen, but doing the work.

Amen. Praise the Lord.

When they see a need, amen, they're, they're at that, uh, ministering to that need. Amen. And so we thank God for men and women like that. Let's give them one more hand. Praise. And as you are worshiping Amen. I, I'm not going to be long. We stopped by, uh, we were trying to make some stops on this morning while we were here. I'll be leaving out on tomorrow, but amen. We thank God for the Bible said be also ready.

Amen.

Amen. And we're also always blessed with the opportunity to share the Word of God.

Amen.

It's a blessing to share the Word of God. The Word of God is a blessing to us.

Amen.

As believers. But it's a very special to share the Word of God. Amen. Praise the Lord. And I just want to talk just a moment, just a little while, about God's promises. See, when God promises something, the enemy always tries to interrupt what God promised, huh? And some of you may be, amen, going through something and difficult times in your life. That's probably a sign that you're right on the verge of a breakthrough, of a miracle.

Something special, amen, that God, amen, have had in store for you. Hallelujah!

Glory to God! And, and so we want to talk about that because, amen, we have to stand, amen. We're standing on the promises of the Lord, amen. And there's a scripture in 2 Corinthians In 2 Corinthians, I want to encourage us today. 2 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 20. 2 Corinthians chapter 1 and verse 20. The King James Version reads like this: For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him amen, unto the glory of God by us.

The New International Version reads like this: For no matter how many promises God has made, they are yes in Christ. And so through him, the amen is spoken by us to the glory of God.

Somebody say yes and amen. In other words, it's already done.

It's already done. Amen. And so, amen, the yes means, amen, that it's God. God is definitely going to bring it to pass. And the amen is on our part. Amen. Is that we have to believe that what God said he shall do. If God said it, we can count on it. Amen. And that's— amen— that's the— amen— really the whole foundation of our faith. Amen. To have faith in God, amen, is to have faith in the promises that God have promised unto us.

Huh?

God have given us that foundation. Amen. Watch this, that we can believe him and what he says, what he says he's going to do, what he said he can do. Praise the Lord. And there are some promises— watch this— some promises that we didn't even desire, that God just said, 'Hey man, I'm going to do it for you.' Why? Because it's best for us. And this is why I love Romans 8:28: 'For we know that all—' How many things? How many things? 'That all things is doing what? It is working together.' So it doesn't matter Amen. If we're going through something heavy or going through something difficult, amen, because we will have— if we're, if we're living life, amen, we're gonna have some, we're gonna have some high points and we're gonna have low, we're gonna have those valley moments. Amen. Hallelujah. But God, amen, in his infinite power and his sovereign power and his sovereign might and his providence. Come on, talk to me, somebody. Amen. Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, he'll take the good with the bad and work it for good in your life. Oh, come on, amen. Somebody say it's a win-win situation. Amen. Amen. The thing is that we got to trust him. We have to say amen, amen to the promise. Amen. Come on, talk to me. And so, amen, he says, so we know that all things is working together for the good of those— now it's the specific people that he's talking to— for those that love the Lord and those that are what? Called according, according to his purpose. Amen. Tell somebody, it's gonna be all right. Come on. And matter of fact, just look at him and say, it's all right now. Because it's working together for your good. Because if God said it, amen, hallelujah, the devil can't change it. Oh, he tries to change you, and you know what, amen, he can't change what God said for, but he can change it in your mind. He can change it in, in your faith. Say there's no lack on God's part. So the devil, what does he do? He tries to attack us. He tries to attack our life. He tries to attack Israelites. And what God had— Lord have mercy— what God had promised the Israelites through Abraham, and he told Abraham In, uh, uh, in Genesis, amen, he says that your descendants— I'm going to give your descendants a land that they can call home. It's going to be their home, but I call it the Promised Land. He put a name on it. Lord have mercy. And he wanted them to know, amen, this is not just a land, but it's a promised land. And he tells Abraham that— watch this— while— now, when he tells Abraham that, Abraham is already in Canaan. So I had to think, I said, well, why, God, would you tell Abraham that you're going to give him the promised land while he's sitting in the promised land. But I had to read it close because— and this is what I want to say— I read it close and it said the promised land wasn't to Abraham, but it was to his descendants. It was to his offspring. And I got to thinking, sometimes What God has for you is generational. It doesn't end with you. Oh, y'all not talking to me, somebody. But God, amen, have your children in mind. He have their children in mind. Come on, talk to me, somebody. Amen. Because what— when God bless you, come on, amen, it, it's generational. It has generational blessings on it. It has generational prosperity on it. It has generational wealth on it. Come on, talk to me, somebody. And he said, he says that, he says that I'm going to bless your descendants, but watch this, here we go. He said, but your descendants For 400 years they will be bound in captivity in a strange land. Now God, you're going to tell me that my children are going to be blessed, but they're going to be bound? Lord have mercy. For 400 years, what type of promised blessing is that? So I came by to tell somebody, Lord have mercy, they can try to tie you up. Come on, talk to me. Someone try to shut you up, do this and that to you. Come on, talk to you. Amen. But tell— look at somebody, say, a promise is a promise when God promises it. Oh, you're— no, no, you can't change God's mind with the pro— the only person that can change the promise is you. So he tells them, amen, and this is why this, this, this takes us into— because I know it's generational, because amen, for 400 years they were bound. And then when Abraham's, amen, amen, uh, uh, uh, uh, son entered into Egypt. Egypt was the place that they will be bound for 400 years. Now we know the story about the children of Israel having their exodus out of the Promised Land. We know that when Pharaoh say, Moses, let my people go. We know that story, how they wandered 400 years. How many know that was connected to the promise that God gave Abraham? God tells Abraham— watch this— 430 years prior that I have a promised land for you. Tell somebody, delay is not denial. Tell them you might even have to fight for it. I'm not talking about this kind of fight. You got to fight in your faith. You got to fight in your trust, because the weapon of our warfare is not weak, but mighty through. So the war, the battle, a lot of times is in our own mind, is in our own flesh. Come on, talk to me, somebody. But how many know, amen, that the war is already won? 430 years, amen, now, amen, the children of Israel were in bondage when they left and God released them from out of slavery, they were on their way to the promised land that God had promised Abraham 430 years prior. Now, when they leave Egypt, and God sent them a deliverer by the name of Moses, and he delivered them out of bondage from the mighty hand of Pharaoh. Y'all know the story. They leave there on their way to the promised land. That was supposed to take— some say 3 days, some commentators say 11 days. It was an 11-day journey, but something happened that delayed God's original plan. And so they take off, 11-day journey, but they get— and now we, you have to notice this because the closer you get to your promise, the more focused you have to become because you have to believe that the adversarial powers, amen, and tendencies is not going to let you just walk into your promised land. You best believe it's going to be some pushback. It's going to be pushback. And so I want you to see this, because they leave, 11-day journey, they, they're on their way to the journey, and then they get at Kadesh Barnea. Kadesh was the last place that they needed to be before they stepped into the Promised Land. So we had to post up at Kadesh Barnea to see what was going on. They get right Yes, yes, right at the door. Lord have mercy. And start acting up. Kadesh. And so what happens is The Lord tells Moses to get 12 spies, one from each tribe. He said, I'm going to give you a preview, a preview of what you're getting ready to step into. Because he had already told him it was a land with that flows what? That mean that the land was good, the produce was good, it was a wealthy place. And then he tells, oh Lord, this, this is, this is how God, this is how well God will bless you. He said, come on, he said, and the houses that you live in, you're not even gonna have to work for them. All you're gonna have to do, amen, is just step in and occupy it. It wasn't supposed to be hard for them. So he sends 12 over there. Now they were there. We're gonna understand what the 40 years of wandering was all about because they went out to spy out the land for 40 days. And Moses said, I want y'all to check the land and bring me back the report of what type of land, the evidence of this land that we're getting ready to step into. Fast forward 40, 40 days later. They come back and he said, well, what's the report? Now this is what you have to watch too, right here, because everybody don't see your promise the way you see it. And let me just say this, everybody can't see your promise the way that you see it because you're seeing it through the lens of God. So you're seeing it through the promises of God. Oh, come on, talk to me. And sometimes when God promised us something, amen, it might not look favorable in our eyesight, but if God said it, come on, talk to me, amen. Won't he do it? Won't he bring it to pass? Won't it happen? Amen. Praise the Lord. Because just on the strength that God said it alone, Because everybody, everybody don't even want you to step into your promised land. You got some folk don't want to see— you have some folk that want to take your promised land. They want to live in your house. Come on, talk to me. Come on, talk to me, Shabba. Everybody not happy, amen, for you to, amen, to step into your promised land. So you have to be careful who you're talking to about your promises. Oh, come on, talk to me. You can't tell everybody your vision and your business. Lord have mercy. Oh, y'all know I'm talking in this house because some of y'all experiencing y'all's Y'all shaking y'all head like, yeah, show you right, Pastor. We done learned a little something. Come on, talk to me, somebody. And they got there and the 12 spies came back. 10— watch this— look at, look at the imbalance. You would think that at least 5 would come back with a good report, you know, half and half. 10 came back with a negative report, and only 2 came back with a positive report. Now this is the thing: they're going and spying out what God had promised. The key word is what? Say it again. Say it, say it again. This was promised to them by God. Now they go over there, and so, so Moses said, what's wrong? What's the problem? They come back with the— they came back, amen, with grapes on the vine that it took two people to— it took two men to carry What the land was producing. They come back, yeah, the fruit is there, yeah, the land is wealthy, the land is healthy, but Lord have mercy, they said the, the walls are fortified. The city— they said there's giants in the city. And we don't think that we'll be able to deal with the giants. Tell somebody, giants fall the bigger they are. 10 of them after God had already spoke. The devil want to change your mind about what God have already promised you. But somebody got an amen in here about what God have already spoken. I still have an amen down in my spirit. Come on, talk to me. I still have an amen because his promises are yay and they are amen. They're yeah, they're yay. That means that's their yes because God had put his stamp of approval on it. And it's amen because I believe God. The amen— if you have to have the amen, and those 10 didn't have the amen. And yet the story, right, is right there in Numbers, the 13th chapter. 430-year promise. And so watch this, your promise may be linked to someone else. The promise that you're getting ready to step into was— Lord have mercy— God is using you to complete— Lord have mercy— what he had already set up, amen, years prior. Oh, you're not hearing what I'm saying. That's why I said it can be— it's— it can be generational transitional blessings. And I think about it here, I think about it now, amen, that we're standing on the— this faith, this platform, this ministry that God have given us to serve and to bless people, and amen, to seek his face and bring souls into the kingdom. It wasn't just our promise, it was somebody's promise before us. Somebody, somebody was faithful and it got us here.

Come on, talk to me, somebody.

Now we had to be faithful because somebody need to get to where we are. So that they will be able to stand. Come on here. And to receive the promises that God will have for them. Watch this. So that the promises will continue.

Oh yeah.

10 people come back and said, no, we, you know, the land is good and everything, but I don't think that we can take the city. And Caleb, Caleb, the oldest one out of the the group, the bunch. He the old man, I think. Was it him and Joshua? It was just— y'all know Pastor can preach. He over there preaching from the seat. It said that they had another kind of spirit. You need people around you with another kind of spirit. When it don't look— when they, when they're complaining, come on here, when they're doubting, you need somebody around you, come on here, with a different spirit. Now I don't need that spirit, amen, praise the Lord, amen. I don't need that negative spirit. I need somebody that's going to trust God and believe that what God said, amen, is, is the final, is the final word. That's what we need, amen. That, that helps sustain our confidence in God. We don't need nobody saying, well, I don't, I don't think you can do that. Everything God give you, amen. Somebody telling you, oh no, that ain't gonna work. They're gonna say it ain't work because it's not their vision. God didn't give that to them. He gave it to you. And Caleb and Joshua said, no, no, hold on. They begin to silence them. Now watch this. There's something happened. You gotta— you have to watch it when people around you doubting, because what happened, they be— that began to affect everybody else that was in the camp. And the Bible said that there was a spread of doubt that began to to break out in the land. But Caleb and Joshua said, hold up, hold up. Said they begin to hush them and said, no, we're well able to take the city. Look at somebody, said, no, we gonna do this thing. Come on, say, we gonna take this thing. Glory to God, because his promises are yay and amen. Come on, talk to me. And the Lord said, okay. Okay, okay, you don't think you can do it. And now, now, this is the other thing I wanted to— I'm almost finished right here. They said the giants are too giant. And this next statement got me right here.

This is what got me, Pastor, and I know you done preached it good.

They said— they had the nerve to say, after God already promised it to them— they said, we can't take it, these giants is too giant. They said, we are as grasshoppers. In their sight compared to them. The emphasis is not on how big they saw the giants were, but how small they saw themselves. And we're snared. So if you're going to speak grasshopper mentality— power and strength over yourself— then you're not going to jump very high. You're not going to be knocking something down. You're not going to be standing firm because you see yourself little as a grasshopper. But how many know that size— Lord have mercy— size cannot stop what God has set in motion? Ask David about it. Come on, talk. Ask David about it when he faced Goliath. Goliath, amen, was a giant, amen. But amen, let me tell you something, God— watch this— it doesn't matter how, how tall and big they are, because God will give you wisdom how to take them down. Come on, talk to me. And it might just be 3, it might just be 3 stones. It say he picked up 5, but he only used 3. Come on, talk to me, somebody. Caleb and them said, no, we can take the city. And the Lord said, because y'all— because you— and this is the thing, I, I need to, I need to bring this point out, because a lot of times we'll even trust his promise, and this is what happened. They stepped into the promise, but inside the promise it didn't look like they thought the promise should look. So we can't take it because the giants are too giant. But let me tell you something, when you face opposition concerning your promise You, you cannot only trust the promise. Watch this. But they didn't trust his providence. God's providence. And God's providence— what's this? Was, what was, was the ability that he would give them for them to occupy their promise. So we have the promise, and then we have the providence— is, is the part where God is going to make it happen. So when it looked like you cannot do it, you got to stand on the providence of God. If God said it, that must mean it's going to happen. Sometimes you got to have blind faith and just stand on the word of God. Y'all know the saying, if you can't trace him, You still gotta trust them. Trust them when you can't trace them. And Caleb and Joshua had that mentality. They had a different kind of spirit. It wasn't a spirit, amen, that was way different, but it was different from theirs. Lord have mercy. Caleb and Joshua was just tuned in, amen, to, amen, the, uh, to knowing how their God operates. And they knew that if God said it, if God said it, see, God is not going to set me up for failure. God is not going to give you a promise and not keep it. But not only that, providence deals with the area of— see, God didn't create this, the world, and then walk away from it. God is constantly attending to it. And it's the same way with your promise. If God promised it, he's not setting them— us up to fail, but he's setting us up to prosper and to be successful in the things that he have spoken concerning us. And I'm saying that to say that every promise comes with opposition. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Every promise is going to come with some riffraff. It's gonna come with some junk. Come on, talk to me, somebody. Somebody gonna try to put salt in the game. Oh, oh, you don't think so? Look at the life of Jesus. He did the greatest thing anyone could do. They stuck him and put thorns on him, spit on him, pulled his beard out. When you run up into opposition, I submit to you that we're gonna have to put in our arsenal the power of prayer. Because if Jesus prayed to get through what he went through, that's a good sign to me that I need to learn how to pray.

Prayer will help us. They say prayer will fix it.

But sometimes God won't just fix it.

Thank you.

It's fixed, but he don't fix it the way we think, because some things we must go through to operate in that next level.

But you're not hearing what I'm saying. That's why I love when Noel Jones, he talks about how, you know, we're so quick to say, you know, when something negative and things begin to happen, amen, that my God, this place that I'm at, my God, the devil just had me. And he says something to the effect that he said, how do you know it's the devil?

How do you not know that this is where God needs you to be right now, because all things are working together. Sometime God be building us up for the next miracle that we're going to have to handle so that he can Amen. So that he can fully release the weight of the glory that is about to drop on our lives, because tears will turn into joy. Weeping man do it for, but joy comes, huh? Paul said, I'm— he said, I He said, when I'm weak, when I'm weak, I'm strong. See, that's a faith statement. Come on, talk to me, somebody. It doesn't mean, it doesn't mean that I'm not, he said, when I'm weak, I'm strong. Yeah, I'm weak, I'm going through what I'm going through, it's for real. But my faith, Lord, that makes the difference. Somebody say yes and amen. So for every, every, every day that you doubted my providence and my promise, you're going to wander in the wilderness for each day. I'm gonna give you a year for each day that you doubted me. And they ended up in the wilderness for 40— y'all know the story. Now God was doing something in the 40 years. There was a purification happening, because let me tell you something, everything can't step into your promised land. Because when it's a promise, God don't want no contamination. Don't take that contamination with you, which, along with your promise, you got to have some drop-off. Lord, talk to me. I'm dropping you off. This as far as you go. I'm dropping you off. I'm deleting you. Come on, talk to me, somebody. You can't come in. Amen. Amen. Masi, see, some people is just there for a season and not for your reason. So you got to have some Holy Ghost cutoff. Because everything is not welcome into your promise. And he said, and so he was purifying. You know how he did it? He said, 40 years. He says, each one of you that doubted me is gonna die in this wilderness. And everybody over the age of 20 That was the next generation. He said, you're not— because you doubted, you're not worthy of this promise. But God raised up another generation that will be the recipients of— watch this— stepping in literally to the promise. Now it started 430 years ago, for over 4 when he told Abraham. And then you have to add the time that they was in Egypt. Some say it was the whole total, maybe 800 years till they literally walked into that promise. But it wasn't the people that, that went in there and got a preview because their faith wasn't, wasn't, wasn't giant enough. Lord have mercy. The giants took away their giant faith. And so he said, everybody, amen, over the age of 20, amen, you're not going into the promise. So God raised up a whole new generation. And you know who ended up taking the children into you need to come finish this message.

He on point. Chronological order. Go ahead, sir. So young Joshua stepped in, and God honored him to be the one to take the children of Israel literally to really embrace that promise that he had promised. I remember one time before my dad passed, he was up talking and he had got old. And he pointed— he was up talking— he pointed, he said, he said, he said, that's my blessing right there. Pointed to me. I didn't understand. I didn't know what he was talking about until I, you know, started growing in the word and started seeing how God worked. That was a spiritual state. That was his experience. And he was thanking God that God had called me into the ministry as well as he had called him. And he was so happy that his son was preaching the gospel because all— he was looking at all the years he poured into me. And just thanking God. So some of the things— watch this— you're embracing— we're embracing some of the promise, but God have some promise that he's getting ready to break off to your children. And I look at my— I look at my sisters and them. And I'll see how they operate, function, how they moving in the things of God, and it makes me so proud because I knew them when they was— we all came up together. And to see God, the hand of God on their lives— come on, talk to me. And then when I look at my nieces and nephews. I have a niece right here, Sister Tracy. Remember, we used to carry her in our arm. So when I see her in the house of the Lord, when I see her— amen, amen— uh, serving the Lord, it makes me proud. It makes me feel good because I know that promise was in our— in our line. It's in our line. And some of you need to know, amen, that I don't know what your— the situation is, amen, but God is able to turn it around. God releasing folk out of jail, he's bringing them off the streets. Come on, he's, he's delivering.

Why?

Because the promise is going to be fulfilled. Fulfilled. How many believe that today?

How many believe that nothing and no one can stop your promise? If God said it, it shall come to pass.

His promises are yay. Do somebody have an amen in this house? Somebody just shout amen in here.

Come on, give God a hand praise in this place.

And I just want to pray pray for someone. If it's all right with Pastor, I'm not gonna take a long time, but if anyone desire prayer, because I don't know, you— there may be something or some things that God had promised you that you're still believing God for. And there may be some things that have just occurred that you're bringing toward the Lord. You're saying, amen, okay God, I need, I need you now. I need, I need some direction. I need some strength. Sometimes we be needing some answers. And God haven't answered us yet. He haven't given us the revelation, he haven't given us the understanding. But one thing that you can rest assured on, that if God said it, he's working things together instrumentally as we go forth. He is strategically making sure, even though stuff is happening, God said, I'm gonna take it and I'm gonna put it right back in, in court. I'm gonna put it back in course. And I love Jeremiah 29:11. He said, for I know the thoughts I know the thoughts that I think towards— God is thinking well of you.

Amen.

Look at somebody, say, God is thinking well of you. Hiya!

He said, for I know the thoughts that— can you imagine that? God is in God's thinking. The one with all power, the one with all wisdom, the one with all the ability and power. He's sovereign, that he can do what he needs to do and what he will. He says, I know the thoughts that I'm thinking towards you. And then he give us a glimpse. He said, there's thoughts, amen, to prosper you. I'm thinking well of you, amen. And to bring you to and what? Expect it in. You know what that means? That means that he have already decided from the beginning He sits at the end and watching our beginning. He have already made up in his mind— Lord have mercy— because he's already thought about it. Lord have mercy. He said, I know what I think about you. Everybody, everybody else might not be thinking the way I'm thinking about you. Your situation. Amen. Praise the Lord. Might not seem like the way I'm thinking about you, but because I'm thinking, amen, that you prosper and be in good health as your soul prosper— come on, talk— he said, amen, you can count on that. I have already— I've already decided, I have predetermined that you will be successful. I've already decided, my God, it doesn't matter what's going to come your way. I have already declared, my God, your success. I've already declared, hallelujah, your victory. Hey, Shabba, I have already bought— my God, Holly, I've already thought about you. And here's the thing, I have to agree with God. God, if you feel that way about, about me, glory to God, I trust you and I'm gonna hold on to you like never before. I wish I can get a little about 10 people just stand on your feet if you know what I'm talking. Have you been through a storm? Have you been through a season. Amen. Right now I'm in a season. I know me and my good friend Dr. Woods, we're in this season. Praise the Lord. And I don't know about you, but I, I had to have some talks with God. I'm just going to be honest with you, but God had to reassure me. And I heard you yesterday, I believe God to the end. And I want you to know that God heard your prayer. I said God heard the prayer. The devil is a liar because what we have to let— listen, God can change. I can pray and believe God, and God can change things, but I can't change his mind because there are some things that God has to do to work things together for our good, huh, and to strengthen us. He'll take everything. See, God working from all ends. And so we say amen, because God have thought about you. God is thinking about you right now.

How many believe that God is thinking well of you right now? How many?

Come on, give God a praise for, for thinking well of you. God, thank you for thinking about me. Oh God, David said, who is man that thou art so mindful? God, why are you so mindful of me? You know me better than me, God. You know my ins and outs. Why are you so mindful of me when you know what— my— you know me, God. You know I haven't always been perfect. You know, you know all my mistakes, you know all my faults, God, but you thinking about me. Who is man that thou art so mindful of him? I came by to tell you God got you on his mind right now. You're on the mind of God right now, and God has not changed his mind. He have not changed his mind about you. God said, I love you. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. And I'm doing things in your life, my God, that you haven't seen yet. Your eyes haven't seen, your ears, they haven't heard the things that I have in store for them that love me. And I, I perceive that you love God. Do you love God? Just raise your hands in the air and say, Lord. I just begin to tell the Lord how you love him. I know you got some more praise in you because, because that's all you do is praise the Lord. I sense that in my spirit. You'll praise the Lord on the— at the drop of a dime. But I came by to tell you your praise is not in vain. I said, as you lay and weep before the Lord and as you bow before his feet, glory to God, in praise and worship and honor I came by to tell you God gonna— God is honoring you today. And then come on, somebody clap your hands and thank God. Amen. For honoring this. And God is honoring you. Father God, we thank you. Father God, we thank you. Father God, we thank you. Father God, we thank you. Father God, we bless you. Father God, we bow before your majesty. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God. Thank you, God, for being God of our life. Thank you, God, for being the God of these seasons, God, that we encounter, Father, that may not seem so favorable, God. Because you're all-wise, God. You're an all-powerful God. You're able to turn things around. You're able to lift us up. You're able to sustain us. You're able, Father. You're able, God, to make it good, Father. You're able, God, to make the toughest things that we deal with— amen— make us strong. We feel so weak, God, but you use it, God, to make us strong. What an amazing God. What a loving God. What a considerate God. He's thinking about us. Because his promises are yay. He haven't changed his mind about us. So God is saying, amen, don't change your mind about me. And that's the dilemma. Yes, I gave you the promise, but you— it's up to us to maintain the promise. He gave them the promise because he promised it. But once they embraced the promise, it was up to them to maintain the promise, and those promises were unconditional. And so, Father God, continue to help us, Father, to maintain. Help us, God, to walk in wisdom. Concerning the blessings, the promises, the health, the wealth, the healings, because God is gonna heal you. God is gonna sustain you. God's going to reveal to us because our eyes haven't seen, ears haven't heard. There are some new things that God's going to present unto us, and it's all concerning the promise, the predestined promise. That's what I hear— predestined promises, predestined promises, predestined promises. We were just born into it, but the promise was already in motion.

Jeremiah, I knew you before you was in your mother's womb.

I knew you before and already ordained you.

Past tense. I knew you. Because God's promises and miracles most time is birthed out of his mind.

It first—

it first happens in the mind of God. And so when he says, I know what I think about you, he's already birthed some stuff in his mind. It's just a matter of manifestation. Somebody say, Lord, manifest. Come on, say, Lord, manifest.

Say, Lord, have your way. Come on, say, Lord, have your way in my life.

So, Father, we thank you, God. I thank you for this awesome man and woman of God. I thank you, God, for manifesting in his life.

I thank you, God, for the seeds that Thank you, God, for the years of labor preaching your word because he realized the promise, Father.

This woman of God, thank you, God, for this ministry, God, this ministry of praise and worship.

Weeping before the Lord.

I thank you.

I thank you, God. Thank you for standing in this place, God, a promise.

I thank you, God. We thank you, God.

We thank you, God, that Nothing.

Nobody can block it. It's already done, and we're walking in it. We're walking toward it, and we're embracing it as we go. So we thank you, God, for the yay. We thank you for the yes in your promise. And so God, we say amen. We say amen. Come on, release them, God, them hands and give God an amen.

Give him an amen praise. Come on, give him an amen praise like you know that it's already done. Hallelujah. Amen. Every giant gonna fall. Hallelujah. I'm stepping in. Amen. And everything that's occupying my place got to go. Come on, talk to me. And I don't have to lift a finger, but I'm willing to fight if I have to. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! But God said, when you step in, praise the Lord, they got to go in the name of Jesus. I'm not a grasshopper, but I'm mighty through God to the pulling down of stronghold in the name of Jesus. And so God, we give you praise. And so, God, we give you glory. And so, God, we give you honor. In the name of Jesus, the living King, we bless you.

We bless your name. We'll forever give you the praise. In Jesus' name. Somebody clap your hands for the Lord.

Hey! Thank you, Bishop.

I want you to stay right here for a moment. I want everybody to stretch your hand to a bishop.

What a word.

It's in line with what I just got through teaching on confidence. Confidence in his promise, confidence in yourself. Your perspective, your vantage point of how you see yourself. And I want to just pray for Bishop right here, because while he was preaching, the Lord spoke to my heart and said two things. One, in your physical body, he's about to do a work in your physical body that by the time even we pray now, and by the time you go back to the doctor Spirit of the Living God said the report would have changed. The last report you got, I see the doctor writing a new report. And the Bible declares, with his stripes you are healed. That's your promise. That's our promise. The Bible said he sent his word and it healed them. So even as you preach the word on the promise today, the word has released— yeah, the word has released healing.

The word says healing and deliverance is the children's bread. You're his son, you're his child, and he has released healing for you today. So God said, by the time you go back to the doctor, the script will be flipped. And God said, I'm gonna do a new thing in your health because God said there's more in you. He said there's another dimension of glory that must be poured out through you in the city of Los Angeles. And God says souls will be saved, for revival will be released through you. So in your physical body and in the church body, God says, I'm gonna cause revival to happen in Crenshaw, revival to happen in Los Angeles. And God said many will be saved, many will be delivered, many will be— Asha, sho, to, sho, to, sha, ta, sa, ke, lebe, soto, rabakaya, rebe, sataya, kata. Many will come to the church, true church, and be transformed. And their testimony will be, I used to be a drunk, but now I'm a deacon. Used to be a crackhead, but now I'm a preacher. Used to be a liar, but now I'm living holy. God said, I'm bringing great deliverance, for I am not finished until my glory can be seen in you and through you and upon you. For yea, saith the Lord, I do a new thing. I do a new thing, and your eyes shall see it.

It's your time. He says, I'm not finished until my glory can be seen, till my His face has shined upon you in a fresh way. Stretch your hands this way. Father, we give you praise.

We thank you for the manservant. We thank you for the word he's poured out today, and we thank you that the promise of prophecy stands true even now. And we decree and declare what you have spoken, it shall and will come to pass. We decree and declare there's no doubt in our heart. We believe your word. We believe your word, and we stand in faith that, that, that you promised you will do, for you are God that cannot lie. If you said it, so shall it be. If you spoke it, so shall it come to pass. And we decree and declare that what you have spoken shall and will come to pass even now in the name of Jesus. And we thank you that by the time he gets back to Los Angeles, the new thing would have already begun. The new breakthroughs, the new body, the new miracles in the church, the growth in the ministry. We declare by the time he gets home it'll already be done.

In the mighty name of Jesus, we declare it to be so.

In Jesus' name. If you believe it, I need somebody to give God praise. Come on, shout with your mouth. You shout with your mouth, you dance with your feet, but you shout with your mouth. Come on, shout about it if you believe it. We believe God, we believe God, we believe in your promise, we receive your promise, we receive your word. Amen, amen, amen. We declare it to be so. Hallelujah. We give you glory, God. It is so.

The scriptures taught us this morning, yes and amen. The yes part of it declares that he has already decided he's going to do it. So what he promised, he's already made a decision.

I'm going to do what I said.

The amen is your prophetic declaration. The word amen is such a remarkable word, so remarkable it translated from the Hebrew to the Greek and is still amen. It translated from the Greek to English, it's still Amen. The Chinese, when they believe something's gonna happen, they say amen. The Italians, when they believe something's gonna happen, even in Italian, it's amen.

All throughout language and etymology, amen means so be it, it is so, it shall come to pass, it shall happen. I wish I had about 4 people in this room that believe, glory to God, that what God has spoken over your life based on what we receive. Glory to God this morning out of the word. I dare you just open your mouth and say amen. Amen. So be it, so be it. It is so, we will prosper. It is so, we are healed. It is so, we are delivered. It is so, we are the head and not the tail. It is so, we are above and not beneath. It is so. We are lenders and not borrowers. It is so.

Oh God, we bless your great name. Amen. Hallelujah. So the next time life challenges you, just look at it and say amen.

Hallelujah. You're, you're saying I agree with what God said yes to.

We give you glory, God. What a word, Bishop. Thank you, man of God, for your obedience. There are about right now 709 people watching us online. 710, it went up right there. For those of you watching us online, if you share this one time this word will touch some more people. Glory to the name of God. And if y'all that shared, share it again, it'll touch some more people. See, you can't judge a book by its cover, you know. We preach to the world every week. Glory to God. You come in, so ain't but 2 people in here. No, it's 710 people in here.

Are y'all here?

And that's what happens all the time. Because people are hungry. People need something from God. Are y'all here? And I believe we have received today. I believe we've been blessed today. Sometimes we interpret things the wrong way because we don't understand what God is doing. We got people out, you know, some of our members are all the way in Australia. The people that serve here are blessed. I'm one of our members on a 2-week vacation with her whole family. They blessed. Amen. You can go on vacation for 2 weeks with your whole family to Sydney, Australia. You walking in the promises. Amen. Because that's what we teach. Glory to the name of God. So we're grateful to what God does. The size is not— when we ain't grasshoppers. I heard it. I heard it. Glory to the name of God. Thank God for the great things that he has done. Bishop, man, you have blessed my soul today. Glory to God. Thank God for you. Thank God for the vessel he's made you. Such a humble spirit. Glory to God. He's just so laid back and cool. He preached cool. Glory to God. He— and he's always been like that. And I love it. I've never heard him raise his voice. I never— I don't even think he will get angry. He's just a laid-back, cool guy. And we appreciate God for you, man of God. We're gonna get ready to move forward. Uh, we're gonna take an opportunity to give. Mario, put the ways to give up on the screen. Glory to God. And we're gonna be a blessing to the Lord today. The Bible says more blessed to give than it is to receive. Amen. Amen. And part of receiving the promises of God for finances is positioning yourself properly in God's exchange system. See, you could pray for money, but if you don't— not a giver, you ain't gonna get nothing. I'm gonna say it again. You can pray for money, but if you're not a giver, you're not going to receive any. Because the Bible said in Luke 6:38, give, not pray. Not speak in tongues, not dance, not worship. It said give and it shall be given unto you. Didn't tell you to pray for money. He said give and it shall be given. So after you get through praying, you got to align your praying with giving. After you get through praying for a million dollars, align your praying with your giving so it can be given unto you good measure, pressed down, shaken together running over shall men give to your bosom. The ways to give on the screen. Those of you online, the ways to give on the screen. Please get your seed in the ground today. There are 5 ways you can give here, whatever pleases you. Glory to God. Get your seed in the ground. I don't know about you, but I want God to give me some pressed down, shaken together, running over shall men give to my bosom blessings. Glory to Tanya, good to see you today. I want to tell you why the man of God was preaching. That innovation, that idea that God gave you, it's a promise from God. It's one of those things that God's going to use to fulfill his promise of a billion-dollar valuation to you. He told me to tell you, don't you fear, don't you doubt, it's going to work. He said, Michael, say to her, my daughter, he said, tell her that ownership precedes occupancy. He said, you got to own it in the realm of the spirit, own it in your heart, own it in the dream dimension first. He said, if you own it, you indeed will occupy it. But even as the bishop was preaching, he said there can be no occupancy without opposition. So the opposition is going to come to try to oppose it. But through all of the turbulence, God said this thing is going to manifest in power, and it's going to literally not only change your life, but you're going to be so blessed to be a blessing that everywhere you go and every person you come in contact with, that you are assigned to shift their life. Your wealth is going to be able to shift their life in a huge way. So the Lord said, build it, do it, launch it, for surely what he has given you is his promise for you, says the Lord. Somebody praise God in this place. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. While you're giving, I'm just walking while I'm here. Later, right there in that black Is this the— what's your name, dog? That's Denise. No, right here. That— you got on black too. Yes. What's your name, man? You Denise? Come here. Can I pray for you real quick? Just come here. I just want to pray for you. There's something I saw. You're short in stature, but you're big in power. When I look back there at you, your body looked like a stick of dynamite, and I saw this stem sticking out the stop of your head, and I saw a hand like it was coming from heaven lighting this stem. God said your life is about to explode in a good way. He said you're about to cause Holy Ghost explosions everywhere you go. He said tell you that the office of the evangelist is in your feet. I, I don't— I just heard about you right here. He said you are indeed an evangelist and you shall go to and fro. Even while I'm talking, doors are opening for you. The evangelist anointing is a lost anointing in the church because everybody wants to be a prophet. I met 5 people yesterday at Apostle's funeral and told me there was apostle. One of them was, because everybody wants to be an apostle, everybody wants to be a prophet. But God said, watch this, the mantle of the evangelist is heavily open in the earth, and you're one of his end-time evangelists. People gonna open the door for you. I see you preaching on large platforms so you can bring people to God. As you preach, souls will be saved. Oh, I see that Billy Graham's mantle is still in the earth. He said if you yield to what he's calling you to— Billy Graham filled up stadiums. And people got saved. People call T.D. Jakes the next Billy Graham. I don't agree with that. T.D. Jakes fill up a stadium with church folk. Billy Graham filled up a stadium with sinners, and people came to God. There's a difference. And God said you are one of his magnets that's going to draw people to him. So God said sell out to what he he wants before the year would expire. This is where I wanted to get. He's going to visit you and he's going to give you a plan. And as you go into 2026, talk to your leader, talk to those around you. He's going to show you how to manipulate this plan in the realm of the spirit, and everything is going to work together for good. You going to have the resources, the finances. You ain't called to work a regular job. I've been full-time in ministry for 36 years. God has took care of me every step of the way. I've been all over the world preaching, and the first thing I operate in was an evangelist. That was my first ordination. Before I was a prophet, before God affirmed me as an apostle, I was an evangelist. I preached the gospel and people got saved. That's who you are. So Father, I thank you for your daughter, from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet. Dear God, let the mercy— as Paul laid hands on Timothy, stir up the gift that is in her now by the laying on of hands. Cause the anointing of the evangelist to emerge. And Father, even as you promised to visit her before this year would expire, visit her, God, even as she consecrates, fasts, and spends time with you. Visit her and give her a plan to strategically ensue this ministry. Give her the structure, the systems, even to create a nonprofit. That's— yeah, there's a nonprofit that's going to be funded heavily that's connected to your ministry. So, because evangelists serve the community, they serve the world. So God says, I'm gonna cause this thing to come forth, and I've already got donors in place. And we thank you for the revival that'll come forth out of her life, and we praise you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. God bless you, daughter. Y'all give God praise. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Father, we thank you for every gift and every giver, even those that have sown online. Give it back to them a thousand times more. Father, your word declares it's more blessed to give than it is to receive. Your word even says, give and it shall be given unto us good measure, pressed down, shaken together. Running over shall men give to our bosom. And as we have liberally gave, God, I pray that you will liberally cause blessing to come back into our life. For whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. So God, as we have allowed you to influence our heart in our giving today, we thank you that these blessings will overtake us a thousand times more. In Jesus' mighty name, amen. And thanks be to God. Y'all give God praise again. Hallelujah. Glory to God. We got it. We got a visitor back here. God bless you. Stand up, young lady, because she probably say, I'm older than you, but you look so young. Thank you for visiting with us today. How did you find us? Oh wow, so Vick is your beautician? She invited you? Yeah, Vick could be evangelizing. Thank you so much for being here, and you're always welcome to come back again. Y'all give her a hand. Praise God. Come, come here. Let me just pray for you. Come quickly.

Yes, Lord, we thank you. We bless you.

Come here, Shannon. Lift your hands up. Prophet, put your hand in the belly. We bless you, God. Let And Father, we give you praise. We thank you for ways made. We thank you for burdens removed because of your anointing. Father, from the crown of her head to the sole of her feet, we thank you for healing. We thank you for deliverance in her body. We thank you that even in her family You're causing a new thing to happen in her family. God, God, begin to move through her family like never before. Cause reconciliation and restoration amongst her family members. And Father, you see the dilemma she's in. The devil is the author of confusion, but God, you bring clarity. Your word says in all our getting we should get an understanding. So Father, I thank you today for understanding in the life of this your daughter. And even as I'm praying, God, God, as she leaves this place, I pray you will begin to speak to her and begin to talk to her. You said the steps of a good man are ordered by God. So Father, I thank you that you will order her steps according to your word. And even as I lay my hands upon her, let my hands be as your hands. She let them—

And order her steps, God. I release the spirit of accuracy, and I decree and declare she will not miss it to the left nor to the right. Okay, and I just heard God said that you just close that door. You can't keep that door open any longer. He said close the door, close the door. He said when you close the door, he says, I'm going to open 7 new doors.

He said, he said, I'm going to open 7 new doors.

And God said, even as I'm praying, the yoke has been destroyed and the burden has been removed. And God said, not another day will you be hindered not another day will you be slowed down. For kataman saya.

For even as you heard the word, God said, my promise remains sure in your life, and you shall see it with your own eyes not many days from now, says the Lord. Somebody give God praise and glory. Hallelujah. We bless his name. Oh God, we bless you. We're going home. Glory to God. I want to appreciate God for the Canadas. Thank God for them. Glory to God. Um, Lady Canada, we love you. Lady McClendon— I'm Lady Canada McClendon— we love you. And, um, Felicia and I have— and we got something we're going to give to you because we want to bless you. But, uh, if I forgot, if y'all got physical money, you can come bring it when you leave, just drop it in the bucket, uh, because we're going quickly. But we love you, Pam, and we thank God for who you were to our friend. And I want I want you to know that even though he's with Jesus, you're still here. So you, you don't have to stop being our friend because he's in heaven. Amen. We love you. All right. And, uh, I know how you are. I've known you for a long time. You ain't gonna ask for much, you ain't gonna say much, but just know we're here. All right. And whatever you need, we're here, okay? And your sisters, I love y'all too. Always good to see y'all. These are anointed women. They can sing heaven down. Bishop not only can preach, he can play the guitar and sing too. The whole family is blessed, and I've been blessed over the years, um, just knowing them. So I'm thankful. Bishop still talks to me about messages I preached when I was out there there. Some of the messages I forgot, some I remember. Glory to God. And I appreciate God for y'all. But I also want to thank God for the offspring of my friend Apostle McClendon being in the house.

You got a grace and peace, family, from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is your boy Dr. Mike Woods, and listen, I am inviting you to meet me in this building October 30th through November 2nd for what we're calling Worship and Warfare Weekend. We got some amazing sessions that's going to be a blessing to you, but they're going to equip you with everything you need to stand toe-to-toe against the devil and his arsenal against your life. The reality is, it's time out for the devil attacking your finances, attacking your children, attacking your health, attacking your career, attacking your family. Listen, you need the equipment to deal with the devil. And listen, these 4 days have been strategically designed to give you just that. Coming in the building with me is my son and my dear brother, Apostle Brandon Camellia. And listen, great things happen when we get together. You want to make sure you're in this facility. Go ahead right now, click the link around this video and get registered. Did you hear me? Go ahead now and get registered. Text the word WARFARE to 470-777-8279 and make plans now to meet me at Rhoda Church. Again, October 30th through November 6th. For Worship and Warfare Weekend. It's going to be phenomenal. You need to be here. Praise God. All right, this weekend is going to be phenomenal. We've already had tons of people to register. As you can see, we ain't got a lot of seats, but we're gonna pack everybody in here we can. Apostle Brandon has his own following when he come to Atlanta. He's my son in ministry of 30, 40, almost 40 years now, and, uh, he's a phenomenal guy. So a lot of miracles, a lot of deliverance, a lot of breakthrough is going to happen in this room. Every time he comes, something significant occurs. So if you have time, October 30th, starting Thursday night through Sunday morning, we're going to be here and it's going to be a blessing. We're gonna have revival while other folk out trick-or-treating. We're gonna be in here casting out devils. We believe in God for a lot of deliverance. Amen. A lot of breakthrough. So you need to be in the building. Um, the warfare has been intense, uh, leading up to this. I won't even start talking about some of the things I fought through, and I know it's about this. So you need to be here. And watch what God does. Apostle is not only an apostle, he's a prophet, he's an amazing teacher, and he's gonna be here and we gonna bounce off each other. Saturday we got some workshops from 10 to 2. We're gonna serve you lunch for free. So all we ask you to do is register, be in the building. We're gonna talk about casting out demons. Every believer needs to know how to cast out a devil. Y'all don't believe that, do you? The Bible says these signs shall follow them that believe. You believe, right? He said you shall cast out devils. That's one of the things. If you're a believer, you ought to be able to cast out devils. So we're going to talk about how to do that. We're going to have some panels where we talk about air traffic controllers in the spirit, principalities, strongholds. We're going to talk about how to understand what's happening in a region. You need how— what's happening in your life, how those principalities and strongholds affect you. So you, you need to be here. How the spirit of infirmity is what causes cancer, and how if we attack that spirit and defeat that, we can defeat cancer. So it's going to be a lot of stuff talked about that I think will be a blessing to your life. We're going to talk about how demons even attack your finances. It's not God's will for you to operate in poverty and lack. Poverty is a demon, and we're going to talk about how to deal with that. So you need to be in this building, amen, so we can get free and get what we need, amen. All right, Bishop, come on back, sir. Say our final word and take us home. Y'all give Bishop another hand for that word.

Glory to God. Thank you again, amen. We thank you, thank you. You again. We appreciate this opportunity. God bless you all for receiving us. Father God, we bless you. We just thank you, God, for what our eyes have seen and what our ears have heard. But we thank you, God, for the promise of your word. You said there's more, there's other things that has not entered into our hearts. Amen. But we love you, God, so we have expectation. We thank you, God. Amen. For the kingdom of God. Suffer violent, but the violent take it by force. And we just thank you, God, for the force, amen, that, amen, that we walk in, God, and that goes before us. We're standing on your promises on today. They're yay and amen. As we leave this place and we never depart from your presence, bring us back at the appointed time. We pray that the words of our mouth and the meditation, that is the Psalms says, may the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord. You are our strength, you are our Redeemer. We give you praise, glory, and honor. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Shake hands one with another and show yourself friendly.
