Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, God, on earth, hanchi katabaya, as it is in heaven. God, let the heavens invade this place this morning as we worship, as we lift you up. Even those that will tap tuning in to us live today. I pray that heaven would invade their space, their car, their job, their living room, wherever they're tuning in from. I decree and declare that the heavens are ripped open now, and with your stripes we're healed. I thank you that the burden is being removed and the yoke is being destroyed. We give you glory, God. Thank you, God, for the activities of our limbs. Thank you, God, for all those things people take for for the ability to hear, the ability to see, oh God, legs to walk. We give you the praise, God, that you put a roof over our head. Yeah, it was you, God. It was you. You've taken care of us. You made up our bed in sickness. You held our trembling hand.

You've been good, God.

You've been good, and we give you the glory today. Thank you, Lord. Come in this place like a bully. Throw your weight around. Let us know that you're the boss, that you're still in control. Kick some dust in the devil's face. Let him know you still rule and reign in the affairs of men. And Father, we'll forever give you praise. Ah, Shaddai, we'll forever give you the glory. Oh, we bless you, Lord. I know you honor your great name, God, your wonderful and mighty Jesus. Hallelujah! Clap your hands again and give him a praise. Come on, you can do better than that. Clap your hands, everybody, and bless the Lord.

Hallelujah!

Deuteronomy 32:3 says, because I will publish the name of the Lord, ascribe ye greatness unto our God and publish. When you publish something, we all know that means you just make it known unto the people. So I will make known the name of the Lord. In verse 4, he is the rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are judgment. A God of truth, a God of truth, a God without iniquity, just and right is he. There's no wrong in him. And because that, we sing this morning that he deserves the glory, he deserves all the honor, he deserves our praise, he deserves our adoration, he deserves our worship, he deserves our time, he deserves our tithe, he deserves all of us. No flesh can abound in his presence. No flesh can abound in his person. No flesh can abound at his throne. But he deserves our spirit, our holiness, our righteousness. He deserves it all. God, we present our bodies unto you this morning as a living sacrifice. Holy and acceptable, oh God, is our plea. Hallelujah. You deserve the glory and the honor.

Now I just need some worshipers in this room to just lift up your hands and begin to worship the Lord today. Come on, just for a few moments, those of you watching us live, whether YouTube, Facebook, on any of our social media platforms, right where you are, lift up your hands and draw nigh to him. You know, the scripture says, if you draw nigh to me, the Lord said, I'll draw nigh to you. One of the guarantees that you are moving toward God is worship. The Bible declares that he inhabits praises of his people. So as you lift your hands and declare his goodness, and come on, give him the fruit of your lips this morning. Come on, fill this room with your voice. Give him the fruit of your lips wherever you are. Stop what you're doing and give him the fruit of your lips. He's your way in and he's your way way through. We want to draw near to you, God. Draw us close, Jesus. Come on, I gotta move, but somebody else said, draw me close, Jesus. Draw me closer.

We love you, Father, and we bless your name. Father, accept our worship. As a sweet-smelling savior in your nostrils. We didn't come for any outside show or fashion to impress people, but we're simply humans that love you. And we pause today to tell you that you alone are God of our life, and it is our soul's desire to be close to you because you are God and you do do miracles. Hallelujah! And we start here, we start now, we start today, and we say you're the King of Glory. Come in, God, and we bless you.

Your healing is in your worship. Your deliverance is in your worship. The breakthrough you've been looking for, it's in your worship. I tell you, while we worship, burdens are being removed, yokes are being destroyed, cancers are drying up. Now somebody with COVID on a ventilator about to die while we worship in here. They're being healed out there.

Let wind blow!

Jesus alive! Yes Lord God of glory! Jeesu laaahh... let the fire flow—let the winds go strong! Jeesu laaaahh... jeeesuuulaaaahhh... let the fires burn up all evil spirits!

Hallelujah!

Let the fire fall, let the wind blow, Jesus. That's our request, God. Let the fire fall, let it consume everything not like you, Lord. Let the wind blow, Father. Blow, Jesus. The wind of God is in this house. We declare the wind of God is in this house. The fire of the Lord is in in this place. We bless you, God. Hey, you will send your fire. All your winds will blow. Hondureña, vas a cosechar. You will send your fire, Tisela, Tisela. All your winds will blow, Tisela, Tisela. You will send your fire, Tisela, Tisela. All your winds will blow. All your winds will blow. All your winds will blow. Let the north wind, the south wind, the east wind, and the west wind— we prophesy to the winds this morning. And we command them to blow, that dry bones may live. Shekalabasorabeki. That where there's disunity in the world and systematic racism, God, that the winds will blow, that the fire will burn, God. Yes, Lord, we thank you. I'm trying to move I'm gonna just get in a corner and ball up and just worship. The glory of God is here. Those of you watching us live, come on, embrace this glory. The same anointing that we feel now is there with you. Don't you leave this live the same. Hallelujah. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Thank you for the fire, God. Thank you for fire. Thank you for fire. Thank you for fire, Lord. We feel the fire, Lord. Thank you, Jesus. Oh God, thank you, Lord. Father, bless the furtherance of our service. Let your anointing dwell here, live here. I am your home. This is your home. Yeah, Lord, we love you, we love you. You could be seated, everyone. Just if you can just be seated. You might be already sitting. Sit. Those of you at home, come here. First Lady, come here. Lady Woods, stand with me just a moment. I want to welcome these people. Glory to God. Bring your mic. Thank you. Hallelujah. We bless you, Lord. God is good. Isn't God good? He's wonderful. He's amazing. Listen, we want to take an opportunity to welcome all of you into our service today. Many of you over the last 2 weeks responded and engaged with the actual advertisement we put out for this particular service today. So I really didn't know what was gonna happen. So I believe that many of you are gonna watch us on one of our platforms and you're here with us today. We know some people still are uncomfortable coming in gatherings and we don't judge you for that. We believe that this church is a COVID-19 free zone. There's no way out I can serve a God and he would give me COVID in his house? That's ridiculous. He's Jehovah Rapha. He's the Lord our healer. And so we have decreed and declared that this space is a COVID-19 free zone. As a matter of fact, we've decreed it's an infirmity free zone. So that means if you come with COVID-19 you're gonna leave healed. And if you don't have it when you come, that means you'll never get it. Hallelujah! Glory to God! It also indicates that if you have cancer when you come, cancer will dry up. And if you don't have cancer— this is something to rejoice about— when you leave, you will never get it. Hallelujah! I dare somebody give God praise Praise and say, I'll never get it, just because you crossed the threshold of this door.

Hallelujah!

Glory to God! We're in a cancer-free zone. Glory to God! So we're grateful to God. And on behalf of our entire church family, those that are here, those that still choose to stay home and watch us live and virtually, we want to welcome you into our service today. My wife and Lady Felicia, we love all of you. And what you've seen displayed today from our worship pastor, uh, this is what we do. We worship and we teach the word, and we trust God for his glory to invade us. I don't believe that we should just come to church to be coming. We need God to show up, and worship is our key to his entrance into our space. So we love you, we bless you. I want to ask you to do me a kind favor. If you're watching us now, please share this video, please like it, please comment. Stay with us, there's, there's so much to come. Uh, Pastor Harry is going to come with his saxophone and minister to us. And glory to God, my son is here. He's on break from college at SMU. He's going to minister to us. So we're gonna have a great day. Then I'm gonna come back and share the word. But while we're standing here, baby, you got something you want to say to the people? So you didn't need the mic after all. Okay, all right. Okay, so while we're standing here, we're going to take this opportunity to receive our offering. Glory to the name of God. Really, I hate to do this in the middle because we should go from glory to glory to glory. But because we got some other things, I'm going to stop right here and we're going to give. Praise God. The Bible says it's better to give than it is to receive. Hallelujah. The Bible said, bring ye all your tithe into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house. He said, prove me now herewith. I will open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing you won't have room enough to receive. Glory to God. There's no replacement for giving. Glory to God. There are two ways you can give here at Radha Church if you're watching us virtually. Uh, number one, you can give via Cash App. Just use Radha Church. Glory to God. As your signal when you go into the Cash App, those two words, Radha Church. And then secondly, you can go to our website, radhachurch.com /donate. Click the donate button and give your offering that way. Either way, we'll appreciate it. If you're here in the sanctuary and you want to give a check or cash, you can do that. You can also give online. Glory to the name of God. However you choose to do it, uh, we want you to be a blessing to the Lord. While you're preparing your gifts today, glory to God, I'm going to ask Harry to come and minister to us on his anointed saxophone while you're giving. He's going to come and bless us. Glory to the name of God. So put your hands together and give God praise for Harry King as he gets ready to come. Praise God. Hallelujah. Jamie, get the basket for me.

Oh, you, you working right now. Hallelujah! We give God praise. He's good.

He's wonderful and mighty. Glory to God. Bless the Lord for Harry King. You coming? Praise the Lord.

Come on, give Harry another hand.

He's a man of many gifts. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We're going to bless the offering again. Those of you watching us online, Listen, we're going to challenge you to give. Praise the name of the Lord. Um, giving is the very essence of receiving. What you receive is always congruent to how you give. The scripture declares, give and it shall be given. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over shall men give to your bosom. So I challenge you, make make sure you give your gifts today and sow into the anointing and help us continue to do the things God has called us to do. We're super excited about what's happening here at Rhoda Church. I want to just announce really quick, on Thursday, December 31st, we will be closing out the year of 2020. Glory to the name of God! And we're excited, glory to God, about being able to cross over into a new set of days. And I want to challenge you to make sure you're in the house because God is going to meet us here. And there's a word from the Lord. God has told me that he wants to release a prophetic word to every person that comes in the door. So if you show up, God has a word for your entire year for you. So you need to be here to receive what thus saith the Lord. Amen. Well, I'm ready to preach. I'm going to bless this offering. Father, we thank you again for every gift and every giver. Give it back to them a thousand times more. Even every person that has given online, I decree and declare that every seed sown, hallelujah, will return back to the sower the way they gave it. You said, God, if we sow bountifully, we reap bountifully. If we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly. So I thank you today for bountiful harvest. I thank you even for meeting the needs of our church, God. Thank you, God, that we owe no man nothing but to love him, and we give you praise and glory for that. Now bless your people. Many are going through this time of year struggling for finances, looking for provision, but God, I'm asking you to open up the windows of heaven and bless your people in a miraculous way. And will forever give you praise, and the glory and honor shall be thine. In Jesus' name, amen. And thank God. Well, I'm ready to preach the word, but I'm going to let my son come, and he's going to be a blessing to us this morning. Listen, this young man, when he came out his mama's womb, there was an anointing on him. The day he was born, I put my hands on him and I declared that the world would be different because he's alive. And I'm telling you, the Lord is doing some great things through him, uh, through his worship ministry. There's an innate call to ministry in his life. And he's an actor, he's a playwright, he's getting ready to drop a new single on Christmas Day. Make sure you guys go out and get it. But before I preach, it gives me great pleasure to bring before you my son Benjamin Emmanuel Woods. God bless you, Ben. What an honor it is to be here today. Thank you guys for receiving me. It's so great to be here in Atlanta. Ghana. But I want to give honor to my leaders, Dr. Apostle Letha Butler and Bishop Arthur Butler down in Jackson, Mississippi, Straightway Ministries. Can we just worship him one more time? Because his presence is so strong in this place today, and I thank him for coming, coming here and touching every one of us. So this song says, let praises rise. Let praises rise from the inside, from the inside of me.

May you delight in the inside, in the inside of me. Come feel my life, Lord, from the inside, in the inside of me. Set me on fire from the inside, in the inside of me. Can we sing Let praises rise from the inside, from the inside, from the inside of me. May you, may you, may you delight, Lord, from the inside, from the inside. Come fill, come fill my life. my life from the inside of me. Set me, set me on fire, set me on fire from the inside of me. Now listen, listen, listen, listen. All I want All I want is for you, for you to be glorified, you to be lifted high. All I want is for you, for you to be glorified, you to be lifted high. Can we sing that? All I want. All I want is for you, for you to be glorified. You to be glorified. You to be lifted up. All I want is for you to be glorified. You to be lifted up. All I want. All I want.

Come in this place like never before, God. Touch the lives of your people. Oh, can we worship him?

Oh, we worship you, God.

Oh, we bless you, we bless you, we bless you. You're worthy to be praised, God. You're worthy to be praised.

From the inside of me, come feel my life flow. From the inside, from the inside, come and set me on fire. In the inside, in the inside. Hallelujah!

Just touch your belly and say, do it from the inside. Father, we bless you and we honor you today. Thank you for your anointing that's in this place right now. I give you the glory for what you're getting ready to do. Father, move by your power. Truly, the song is apropos to our desire. Really, of all the songs today, we've been asking you, God, to just let us get close to you, to rub up against you in a way we never have before. And we thank you, Lord. Fill us with your glory, your doxa, your weight, your power, your authority. And we give you glory for it now. Now, Father, as we plunge into the heart of the word, I pray, God, that you anoint every ear to hear what the Spirit would say to the church. Do something unusual, something man cannot do. Saturate these walls, charge this atmosphere. And God, we ask for Shekinah glory. Let it be revealed in this place. And we bless you now. God, we thank you that the word would go out in such a way that the The weak would leave saying, 'I'm strong.' The poor would leave saying, 'I'm rich.' The discouraged would leave encouraged, and doubters would leave with faith. And we bless you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And thank God. Come on, give God a hand of praise again. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord. We bless you and we honor you. We lift you up. Listen, those of you watching, please don't scroll. It's preaching time. Praise God. And I believe in my sanctified heart that there is a word from the Lord. Praise the Lord. Thank you, Jesus. I'm going to continue the series I've been teaching, and I really want to thank God for this visitor. She came up to me and she said, Pastor, I saw the advertisement on Facebook. And she said, I drove all the way from Tucker. Y'all give her a hand. Thank you for being here. Glory to God. God bless you. So glad to have you here. I started teaching something on Thursday, actually, because I believe as swiftly move toward the end of this year and move into 2021, it's going to be vitally important that we intentionally enlarge our capacity. I'll say that again: we got to intentionally enlarge our capacity to receive. 2020 has been such a bad year for a lot of people that it would condition the mind inclined to believe because we've been in it so long that this is just the way things are going to be. And then you even got some folk running around saying this is the new normal. The devil is a liar. This ain't the new normal. Glory to God. The new normal will be when we, when we embrace what God views as normal. Amen. So on Thursday, I I gave a few principles of enlargement, a few elements that we got to embrace. The first thing I said, and just by way of review— I'm good, Harry, because if you start doing that, because I'm telling you, that pulls me into worship. Just leave it alone. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So understand this, and I'm just going to review this really quickly. I'm not going to preach these again. I gave, uh, 4 points that is the substratum of this entire teaching. One, you cannot enlarge and your progress breaks down when your external reach is greater than your internal capacity. There are a lot of people that are reaching for things that internally they're not qualified to handle. This is why people get things too quick and they lose them. Hallelujah! Because they're reaching for something they're not ready for. For. And at the end of the day, a lot of times people are reaching for things that they're not even assigned to. And what we have to make sure that we're actually reaching for what God has called us to reach for, because he will equip us with what we need to handle it. Secondly, I share again— I'm not going to teach those again, you got to watch the message from Thursday, praise God. Uh, secondly, I said you cannot enlarge and your progress breaks down when your comfort zone is a place of consistency. When you refuse to destroy the box and get out of that uncomfortable place and take risk of faith, risk of obedience, and do something you've never done before. Thirdly, I shared that you cannot enlarge and your progress breaks down when you expend your energy on fruitlessness. When you spend time with fruitless people, fruitless things, fruitless ideas, fruitless relationships. I know some folk that's been doing the same thing as long as I've known them. All they did was get older, but nothing about what they do has changed. Y'all are talking to me here. And, and they will tell you they have grown, but that's the deception. And I'm gonna talk about that a little bit today. There are a lot of people walking— that's why they don't enlarge, because they deceived. They believe that they're somewhere they're not. Okay, let me move. Uh, you cannot enlarge. Number 4, I share— watch this— when you're more concerned about what God said versus what God is saying. There's some people who are living in what God said. Child, the Lord gave me a prophecy in 1968. Glory! I'm waiting for it to come to pass. Man, you done missed that season. Because you didn't line up with the principles of manifestation. So you, you got to go on there and see what he's saying now. Glory to God. And then I gave 3 elements that every believer needs to enlarge, to deliberately enlarge. One, I said you got to have faithfulness. These days people ain't faithful to nothing. They ain't loyal to each other, nonetheless God. Are y'all hearing me? Most people won't even be faithful to their job. They won't be faithful in prayer, faithful in study, faithful in the word. God says in all of you in large, there has to be faithfulness. I'm not going to teach that again. I also said there has to be— watch this— fearlessness. You got to be willing to move without fear. And I'm telling you, everything that has happened in this world today, it has come to institute fear. A lot of people's reaction to COVID-19— and watch this— a lot of the widespread up of it has been because of the spirit of fear. Oh boy, spirits, they are alive mechanisms, and when people carry them, they carry them contagiously to others. So, and then the media became a terrorist to terrorize you and make you afraid of COVID This ain't the first time this earth has had a pandemic. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. That's why it's COVID-19, because there was a COVID 1 through 18. It wasn't because it was the year 2019. No, it was COVID 1 through 18. We just had CNN, Facebook, Twitter— y'all not talking IG— all them to make us more afraid of COVID-19 than they did of COVID-1. Wasn't no Facebook when COVID-1 came out. Okay, let me move. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Wasn't any CNN, but, but there was some help in bringing fear. But if we're going to position ourselves, we got to have fearlessness. We got to be faithful. Hallelujah. Then I also said you got to have fruitfulness. You can't be fruitful if you don't sow seed in the area you want to receive fruit. And when I say sow seed, I'm talking about your talent, your ability. I said Thursday, and I'm going to leave this right here, then I'm going to move into today's message, cuz I'm just reviewing. You got to watch Thursday's message. All right? I said that you cannot reap a harvest in a field where you have not sown. So if we want doctors in the kingdom, we got to sow into the medical field people who are assigned from God to be physicians. We want legal representation, we want government authority, we want educators, we want entertainers and athletes. We got to make sure we got saved people in those kingdoms so we can reap a harvest in those kingdoms. That's how we become fruitful. And I said we have not had dominion. The name of this church is Radah Church. Radah is the Hebrew word for dominion. People always say it wrong— radar, radar. It's radah. Glory to God. It's the Hebrew word for dominion, rulership, authority. That's God's mandate, and we're ultimately fruitful when we're moving in our fear of dominion. Can I drop this on you? And then I'm moving. Everybody has a dominion gift. Every person in this room has a gift that you're to use to dominate in that fear of influence. Okay, so let's move. So here we go. Today I want to deal again with these principles of enlargement, but the first thing I want to do is give you some enemies of enlargement. These are some things you need to stay away from, because if you plug into these things, what's going to happen? It's going to stop you from enlarging. It's going to slow your progress down. So the first one, and I'm going to get right into this, you, you need to break away from covenant breakers. That, that's a whole word. It ain't two words. Covenant breaker is a whole word. Matter of fact, let's look at it. Go to Romans 1:31. I'm reading out of the NIV, and I'm going to just start at verse 30. It says slanderers, God haters, insolent, arrogant, and boastful. They invent ways of doing evil. They disobey their parents. Watch this. They have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy. Verse 32. And although they know God's righteous decree, his covenant, that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also, watch this, approve of them that do them. So God says you got to get away from covenant— King James, you interchange the word for righteous decree for covenant breakers. You got to go away from people who refuse to do what's right, people who will not align themselves with what God is saying. Now if you look around your life life, I'm sure you'll find some covenant breakers. And that means they don't believe in the promise of God. They'll believe the system of the world before they believe the system of God. God has cut a covenant with his people. Matter of fact, he's a covenant-keeping God. If God breaks covenant with you, he's God enough to keep the covenant. So let's just look closely at what a covenant breaker is. A covenant breaker, the Greek word is asynthios, and asynthios means— watch this— they are simple-minded, confused. Watch this. And they lack obedience, so— or they're disobedient. That's basically what it is. They're disobedient, they're not well put together, they're confused. Confused because they want to do things their own way. But when you're in God— and I'm telling you, as we move into this year of amazing things, you're gonna have to be in his will. You're gonna have to deliberately say, I'm gonna keep the covenant. There gonna be some people that still gonna do their own thing. Listen, I never want to be where God was. I want to be where God is. Let me say that one more time. I never want to be where he was. I want to be where he is. There's some people— there's some places where I know God was at one time, but I know now for sure he's gone. Y'all talk— he's gone because the people's heart are far from him. Say covenant breakers. Here's another enemy. Oh God, evil favoredness. Evil favoredness. And I'm just introducing this where I'm going. Evil favoredness is— again, that's another 16-letter word. It's a long word. Evil favoredness. It means people, again, they favor evil over good. They'll trust something that is wicked before they trust something that is right. Watch this, negative never needs evidence. If somebody starts talking negative about something or gossiping about something Instead of people trying to find out the facts, their belief automatically receives the negative that's being said. That's called evil favoredness. If somebody's bringing you evil about somebody else and you lend your ear to it without investigating the facts or stopping them, basically you cannot let yourself be a garbage can. Matter of fact, next time somebody comes to you with gossip or negativity, say, look here, I'm not a garbage can, no dumping here. Because people want to toxic— put toxics in your spirit about what you know God said to you, because they're evil favored. Let's go to Deuteronomy 17. Let's look at it. Let's see it in the Bible. Let's see the Bible. Oh, let me change my version. It keeps— let me— Deuteronomy 17. Yes, Lord. I need to get out this NIV. I want the King James. Glory to God. Like the old preacher said, I read the King James Bible. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We want it. We want the King James. Praise God. All right, yeah, here we go. Deuteronomy 17:1. Y'all there? Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the Lord thy God any bullock or sheep wherein is blemish, or any— watch this— evil-favorness, for that is an abomination unto the Lord. People so quick to preach about, uh, man lying with another man, abomination. And that is man lying with an animal, abomination. Woman lying with woman, abomination. But wait a minute, there's something else that's detestable to him: evil faithfulness. Watch this. And these are people that presumably know God. They know God and still favor evil. And God said, don't bring that as worship. He said, don't even come to worship if you got evil favoredness in your heart, because if you keep reading, the sentence for that was death. So, you know, if you want to cross over into something better, you've got to cut off the evil favoredness favoredness. I'm moving. I'm— again, this is just introduction. I don't have time. Uh, okay, here's the third thing, third thing, third thing. These are some things that are required to observe when it comes down to enlarging. You cannot enlarge— watch this— without love or loving kindness. I gotta say this. Say loving kindness. God's not going to trust you with more if you mean as a rattlesnake with little. Come on now, why would he give you— that's just gonna make you worse. It's gonna make you more— if you arrogant and ain't got nothing, come on now, why would he give you some more for you to be more arrogant? If we're going to enlarge, we need to operate in loving kindness. Go to Psalm 25, verse 6. It says, remember, O Lord, thy tender mercies, thy loving kindness, for they have been ever of old. In other words, the psalmist said— watch this— uh, loving kindness, the Hebrew word is Sheshed, C-H-E-C-E-D. It means that you have never failed to show kindness nor to love me. See, let me tell you something, you need to be clear that God loves you, that God wants to be kind to you. I dare somebody to say, be kind to me, Lord. See, you ain't experienced kindness until the Lord was really kind kind to you. And I'm telling you, he knows. This is why— and if you ain't never really experienced kindness from God, there's no way you can be kind to each other. That's why people hate in the world, because they, they have never experienced the kindness of God. Because I want to give you goodness, kindness. I want to show mercy. Oh my God, God will give us mercy if if we want it. We just got to receive it. And watch this: repentance brings mercy. Repentance produces loving kindness. But we got to understand clearly what repentance is. Repentance, the Greek word is metanoia. It means to return to the top. Repent. Pent is the root of words like penthouse. So when you repent, you go back to the top, never to go back down. So when you really repent of something, your behavior towards it change, your mindset towards it change. But if you keep doing it, you really ain't repented yet. You haven't repented until there's change. I'm not teaching about repentance, but that is a key to receiving loving kindness. You— your heart has to be in the place where you say, I don't want to do this anymore, I need God to be kind You ain't with me. Because God cannot share his holy position with unholy things. I gotta move. All right, okay. Oh boy, here's something you definitely gotta avoid: unprofitableness. It's something about things that are unprofitable that makes me itch. I start breaking out in hives. Lives when I see things that are not working. Because at the end of the day, that's not God's will. Profit— ask a businessman to define profit, he'll tell you what's left after the expenses of the business have been paid and covered. That's what you got left over for yourself. That's profit. Why is it— and I hit this a lot Thursday— that in the church, the church and the kingdom people who jump, shout, speak in tongues, spit, blow bubbles, go to church everywhere weak? Why are we the most unprofitable ones? Why do the— why does the church have the least amount of wealth in the world? I'm not impressed with, with somebody has a— and I've got— and I thank God for the things he's done for me. I preached in churches with 15, 20,000. I preached 100,000 people in foreign countries at one time. That doesn't impress me. I'm not impressed with big mega buildings because God never called that pastor to build a kingdom to himself. I don't care if he got 25,000 people and can't get no more in and they lined up to get in to see him. He's unprofitable. Y'all not talking to me here. If he's not creating a kingdom economy that's affecting the world and not his own kingdom them. Okay, y'all don't like this kind of preaching, okay, because I'm gonna hit your favorite preacher in a minute. But in the end of the day, because most of them are unprofitable. They look profitable because they got Bentleys. They look profitable because they got jets. Y'all not talking to me here. They look profitable because they wear custom-made suits. They look profitable, but they're unprofitable because they are not bringing the fruit of God into the earth. Help us, God. Let's look at this text. Hebrews 7. Hebrews 7. Hebrews 7. Glory to God. Hallelujah. For there is verily a disannulling of the commandment going before the weakness and unprofitableness thereof. Now watch what he says. He said there's a disannulling. You know what an annulment is? Is. That means you got married and you realize a day later, I done made a mistake, let's get this annulled, let's break this covenant. Glory to God. And but the scripture here saying that you annulled yourself from sin, you annulled yourself from being self-righteous, and you went back and annulled it. You knew it was wrong but went back to your old ways. Oh God, help us. He said, he said, you're disannulling the commandment, and it's a, it's a sign of your weakness. And you know, being connected this way, living this way, thinking this way, is unprofitable. I just want to see the saints profit. I want to see us profit in every area of our life, spiritually, We ought to get a spiritual prophet. Chelsea, Harry, Ben, all of us in here worshiping. Listen, when we go up to worship, we ought to get a prophet out of that because there's something invested in that even before we show up in the building. There's a sacrifice that happens in prayer. There's a life lived, glory to the name of God, that happens before all the singing goes forth. And so it happens so we can get a profit of heaven out of it. But you know what most churches do? That's not their goal. The goal is to entertain the people, to keep them coming. It's entertainment, is to put on a great show, and heaven never opens. That's a dangerous place. But if we're gonna enlarge, we got to make up in our mind our mindset now. See, profitability is a mindset. Mindset. You got to shift your mind and say, I'm going to be profitable in 2021. I'm going to be profitable spiritually. I'm going to be profitable economically. I'm going to be profitable familiarly, in my family, in every area. You got to make your mind— I'm a prophet because this is what God wants from me. But if you again have went into this mode, this the new normal, we're going gonna be— we ain't nobody going back to work. Somebody said to me, a preacher, just last week, he said, you know, I think what the new president should do soon as he gets in office is shut the whole nation down again. I said, the devil is a liar. I said to him, I said to him right on the phone, that's from, that's from hell. There's nothing righteous about that. Are you hearing me? God wants us to profit. He don't want us to go back in hiding and isolation. Touch yourself and say, Lord, do it again. So bring profit into my life. Come on, say it one more time. Say, bring profit into my life. I'm almost through. So if we're gonna enlarge, if we're gonna move forward in the things that pertain to God, The first thing you got to have is decisions. Your decisions are so important to your forward movement. Somebody say decisions. Decisions means that when you make a decision, you remove the ambiguity. You become lucid about a thing. You know exactly exactly what you want to do because you have decided. Now watch this, we have to make decisions. This is— we're going to enlarge our capacity to receive with precision. Say precision. Which means got to be precise, it's got to be accurate. We got to make accurate decisions because watch this, your decisions determine your destiny. Okay, I'm going to say it one more time. Your decisions determine your destiny. No matter where you are in life— somebody watching me live, somebody in here— wherever you are, you are there because of how you've made a decision. If you're happy right now, it is the result of a decision you have made. If you're sad, it's the result of a decision you have made. Say it again. Say decisions. Oh God, we got to make this precise, accurate decision. And watch this, when the decision is with precision, hear this, it makes incisions. It makes incisions. It cuts things away that does not belong. See, if you just make an accurate decision, the folk that don't belong there will start falling off. Oh, glory be to God! Somebody say decisions, decisions. So how do I make an accurate decision? Let me share this with you. Go to Ephesians 5:16. I'm gonna show you. Here's the first way, because I believe there, Harry, there are 4 questions you should ask yourself before you make any decision. So many times we decide too fast and we end up in the wrong place. We end up doing the wrong thing. We end up with the wrong situation. Ephesians 5, verses 16 and 17, watch this. The Bible said, redeeming the time because the days are evil. In other words, you ain't got time to be playing no games. The days are evil. There's a lot going on around us, so you don't have time to waste on the wrong thing. So many people, especially when, when it comes down to things like relationships, they make decisions and they go in and out of relationships with people, and it's just a big waste of time because they did not go through the right process of deciding on somebody. Most people decide based on outward pulchritude, how old they look. They look real good, so you just make a decision because how they look on the outside that you're gonna be with them. And that ain't everything. No, no, you can marry somebody that looks like Billy Dee on the outside See, young people don't know who Billy Dee is. Okay, let me clarify. Billy Dee Williams. He was before Denzel. I'm dating myself. Look, Mama almost turned the flip when I said Billy Dee. Glory to God. Billy— look at that lady back there. Who? Billy Dee? I'm telling you. So that proves my point. You can get somebody that you take him home and he looks like Billy Dee. Go to bed looking like Billy Dee, wake up looking like E.T. So I'm— I dated it again. And E.T., he was a character when I was growing up in Disney movies. Glory to God. So, and you looking at this joke, said, man, you look like Billy Dee the other day, but now you want to say E.T.? Go home, phone home, get out of here, do something, cuz you didn't take the time. You stopped at outward casing. I mean, some women will see a man, oh my God, he's got shoulders, he's 6'8", 260 lbs of proportioned protoplasm, got six packs and 12 packs, and you stop right there. But inside of that 6'8", 240, and six-pack may be a demon that will abuse you and hit you upside the head. That's why you got to slide past the package and get into the heart. And it— cuz some people look at the package and they don't look at the contents of the package. It's Christmas time. When I was growing up, my mom My mama, I don't know, she kept doing it, but I figured it out after one Christmas. But at the end of the day, I just kind of played along with it, you know. But in that, she would, my mama always did Christmas big. You go to her house now, she got Christmas all over her door, Christmas everywhere. She do Christmas big, all right. So she used to wrap my clothes in the prettiest wrapping paper. Socks, underwear, jeans, coats, sweaters, beautiful stuff. But the stuff I asked for, like toys, she would wrap it up in this old ugly brown paper sack, newspaper. But it was teaching me a lesson, 'cause when I got up, I run straight to the pretty gift. I'm opening up. This ain't no Atari. This ain't no Sega Genesis. Y'all hear me? She said, no, there's a coat because that's what you need. See, I was attracted to the package, but the stuff I wanted— y'all not talking to me here— it was in that— oh my goodness— in the old paper bag. A lot of times what you need is in a package package that's different than what you physically— oh, y'all not talking to— is attracted to. I need somebody to help me. You got to be mature enough to slip past the package. Ah, look, let me move, let me move. So, so you got to make good decisions. So the Bible says, Ephesians 5— I forgot I had y'all there— Ephesians 5, I'm almost through, I just sound long— redeeming time, verse 16, because the days are evil. He said, wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding— hear this— what the will of the Lord is. So watch this. This is the first point I want to raise for you in making a decision. The first thing you should ask yourself, 4 questions. First of all, you should say, is this the right time, or would it be better off if I wait, because timing is everything. Yeah, I've met people, and you know, single women most of the time, especially in the church, man, church women sometimes just do a little too much. Single women in the church think they're operating at 70% joy. Boy, if I can just get a husband, I'll be 100% happy. Glory to God. And it's a married folk looking at you single saying, if I could just drop this dud right here and be single again. Are you hearing me? Because single, you gotta be, you gotta do it in the right time. You don't need to be married if you can't cook for yourself. Come on, you came, you came, you came born boil water backwards. Y'all not talking to me. Which means you— that means you just don't boil. You don't turn the stove on. You can't even turn the stove on. What you talking about? You want a husband? The man gotta eat. You, you gotta feed him. Glory to the name of God. So you need to ask yourself, am I ready for this? Men don't need to jump into it if they can't take care of a woman. Come on now. 'Cause a man needs to realize that a woman's number one emotional need is security.

That's it, right.

You need to be able to take care of this chick. You can't be sitting at home on PlayStation all day. Glory to God. She doing everything, taking care of everything. That's the devil. Before, before God gave Adam Eve, he gave him a job. He said, 'Tend this garden, name these animals.' Glory to the name of God. He had a job first. Okay, so you look at that situation and say, 'Is this the right time?' 'Cause if the dude can't take care of you, you're gonna be miserable. 'Cause a man, his number one most needed sexual fulfillment— you were born with what he need. Are y'all hearing this? So it's always the right time for him. A man can— let me show you how different men and women are. And this is, this is, this is about decisions. A man can be— he's so in tune to his sexual needs, he could be in the house and the lights, the water, and there's a foreclosure notice. Lights off, water off, foreclosure notice, and he still can have sex. He don't care. He said the lights off, we might as well go on and do it. Because that's his number one emotional need. But a woman will look at you and be like, no, bro, we need to pay these bills. This— we about to lose our house, nigga. No. So you gotta understand, so you gotta make sure that it's the right time. Number 2, let me move, let me move. I can stay on that all day. Number 2, you need— when you're making a decision, so first of all, is this the right time? Number 2, do I have peace from God about this? So secondly, you need to pray about it and make sure God God gives you peace and says, this is what you're supposed to do. Don't work another job until you get peace about it. Don't sign a contract until you get peace about it. Make sure that there's something inside of you that says, this is good. Amen. Let me give you scripture on it. Go to Philippians 4 and verse 7. You can write it down, read it later. I'm gonna keep running. The Bible says, and the peace of of God, which surpasseth all understanding. Watch this. So the peace which is— oh my God, I love that word in Greek. The word peace in Greek is Sophia or Irene. It really interchanges in some places, but what it means is the presence of assistance. It's not the absence of confusion. Peace is not the absence of confusion, it's the presence of assistance. So you, when you're making a decision, you should be clear that God will assist you on your decision. Now watch this, he ain't gonna assist you if it ain't his will. God's not gonna assist you making the decision to start a cocaine empire. That's not in his will. Y'all talk to me. I mean, it may maybe appear lucrative, but he's not going to assist you assist you in it. You're on your own. Glory to God. He's not going to assist you getting a job as a stripper. He ain't gonna do it. Are y'all hearing what I'm saying? I'm just trying— I'm just trying to help you today. You need to have a peace that God's gonna be with me when I do this. Don't, don't take classes that ain't connected to your purpose. Are y'all hearing me? Some people go to school just to get a check. And then don't realize you stacking up all that student loan debt. I got friends, 58, just paid off their student loans. That's ridiculous. You're almost 60 and just paid off your student— that's a long time. But they were rejoicing because they got out of their slavery because they was just kept going, trying to make school loans so they can keep getting them checks. That's crazy. But you need a peace that God can help you in whatever you're doing. So do I have total peace? Number 3, here's the third question. Watch this. Now, if you get a peace from God, the green light, you know he'll assist you. Now you need to say, will this decision bring me higher in peace, or will it cause frustration in my life. You know, people have red flags, things you about— is there red flags always? And you can say, you know what, this ain't gonna do nothing but bring me problems, so let me leave this alone. Hallelujah. All right, go to 1 Thessalonians 4. I'm almost done. 1 Thessalonians 4:11. Boy, I wish I I wish I had time to teach this like I feel it. The Bible says, and that you study— watch this— to be quiet and to do your own business and work with your own hands as we commanded you, that you may, verse 12, walk honestly toward them that are without, and that you may have lack of nothing. So a good way to lack no thing is to make the right decision, a decision in peace where you can study things that keep you quiet. Because if you decide to get involved with something that's going to frustrate you, you ain't gonna be quiet. You're gonna voice your opinion about what's going on. So you need to study the situation before you engage it, because the Bible says here, watch Watch this. It says, do your own— mind your own business. Yeah, okay. And to work with your own hands. So do your purpose, do what you're assigned to do, and make sure anybody you bring into your world is connected to your assignment. The worst thing you can do is bring somebody to your world that don't think on your level. I said it last week in Thursday night service, and it bears repeating. You cannot fit a 16 by 20 idea in a 3 by 5 mind. I'll say it one more time. You cannot fit a 16 by 20 idea in a 3 by 5 mind. Someone who cannot think at your level will not understand the vastness of your dreams. So you need to make sure you're making a decision to bring people into your world into the places that you need to be in that's going to expand your knowledge and be able to say, oh yeah, I see that, you can do that, you got what it takes. You, you don't need somebody saying, no, you can't do that. You know, some people will crush your dreams. This, this thing says do your own business so you will lack nothing. It didn't say go get a job. It said do your own business. I ain't telling nobody quit your job, but what I'm saying is you'll be trying to figure out how you can work for yourself. Glory to God. How you can advance in life by working with your hands through the assignment God gave you. I got to go, I got to go, Harry. I'm gonna get out of here, man. Glory to God. I'm boring y'all. Here's the fourth question. Joshua 1:8, the Bible says, this book of the law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate in it both day and night. I'm still in introduction, that's a crying shame. Glory to God. And that you may observe to do according all that is written in it, for then— here we go— you will make your way prosperous. He said if you get in the word and stay there. So here's the fourth thing: does this decision align itself with the word of God? Does God's word support this decision? Let me just give you some decisions his word really don't support. It don't support a man that's got a wife getting 3 more wives. It don't support that, okay? It don't support— it doesn't support a man marrying a man. People do that, that's their business, but the scripture don't support that. It don't support a woman marrying another woman. The Bible don't support it. People decide and they do it, don't make it right. All glory to God. But the Bible said keep this word in your mouth and meditate. Meditate, hagi ai in Hebrew, it means to chew it up, swallow it, spit it up, chew it up, swallow it, spit it up. Keep chewing until it becomes one with you. Let that word be so one with you that you will not do nothing without consulting God first. Say decisions with precision that make incisions. So when you make the right decision, it will cut things off that don't belong. I'm hurrying quickly to a close. The second thing you need to be very careful of when it comes to enlarging is deceptions. You will never enlarge if you are deceived. Somebody say deception. Oh boy, watch this. Deception is being convinced that what is wrong is right. A person who is deceived is worse than a liar. I'm gonna say it one more time. Uh-huh. A person who is deceived is worse than a liar. I'm gonna tell you why. I'm gonna tell you why. Because A liar know he telling a lie and can tell the truth when he wants to. A deceived person has no idea they're wrong. They have been convinced that where they are and what they're doing, what they're saying, is right. They are diluted. They're under strong delusion. Are y'all hearing me? They're counterfeits. In some places, counterfeit money will spin. It spins because the people who receive it, they don't take the time to discern whether it's real or counterfeit. See, here's what you got to learn to do. You got to be able to discern the counterfeits when they show up in your life. That's why in my life, I'm just— my whole life is based on being transparent and just keeping it all the way 100, all the way real. Because at the end of the day, I am who I am. I don't need me trying to be nobody else. Ain't no need me trying to be a counterfeit of something else. Listen, God wants you to be uniquely you. So you can uniquely discern when somebody's real or when they just playing games. I'm telling right now, it's a whole lot of people out here who are playing games. They smile in your face and they stick 5, 10 daggers in your back when you're not looking. But you got to be able to look past that outer casing. I said, okay, you smiling on the outside, but I see your heart. You're really not for me. Oh, y'all not talking to me here. Glory to the name of— there are some people, glory to God, as go as far as lying to you in their deception, saying, oh, I love you and I'm— I'll be down for you. And them the main ones you got to look out for, the main one that say, I'll never leave you. Y'all not talking to me here. You need to keep your eyes on them. Y'all not talking because 9 times out of 10, if you ain't discern their heart, they are counterfeit. Now here's the biggest problem, and I'm bringing this home. It's not what's outside of us. Y'all making me work harder than I want to. It's not what's outside of us. The biggest deception is self-deception. Oh God. It's the most subtle of any deception. The reality is many people are in their own way because they are deceived, and they refuse to accept the understanding and clarity that God is trying to give them about themselves. There is only one way to beat deception: being in your own way. It's truth. Let me tell you something about truth. Truth is never fearful of inquiry. If a person is telling the truth, they won't be afraid when you inquire about their truth. Y'all not talking to me. You could tell somebody lying and to see when they start fighting you, when you start bringing them truth. I'm gonna say that one more time: the truth is never fearful of inquiry. When you, when you know you're standing on your truth, stand boldly on it, and whoever questions you, answer them back. Are y'all hearing me? John 14, verse 6. I'm going, I'm going. I'm telling you, I could preach this in 5 different sermons, probably. 14:6, Jesus said unto him, I am the way. Come on, say, I'm the way. Jesus says, I am the way. Whatever— hear me— whatever Jesus says is truth. I'm gonna say one more time, whatever Jesus says is truth, even when it seems like like he's wrong. Sometimes it just seems like— no, he's wrong. But I want you to remember, whatever he says is true, even if it appears to your flesh, your carnality, your human intellect, that he is wrong. Let me give you a point in case y'all don't believe it. The Bible is clear about this. There was a young girl girl that had died. They went to Jesus, said, listen, Jairus's daughter is dead. Jesus says, she ain't dead, she sleep. It seemed like he wrong now, because she been dead 3 days and rigor mortis has set in. They done start bringing over chicken and everything. Oh, y'all hear what I'm saying? She's gone. But Jesus said, no, she sleep. Then he goes to her house and said, Talitha cumi, damsel, arise. And she gets up like she was asleep. So whatever Jesus says is true. So he says here, I am the way. There's a lot of people people that believe they know another way. But I'm telling you right now, if your life is to be productive, if your life is to have good success, you must embrace his way. And I'm not talking about being religious, being stuck up in the church all the time. I'm talking about finding your assignment and living out your life the way Jesus has planned it. I dare you, touch yourself and say, I receive your way, God. Jesus says, I am the way. Watch this, I'm the truth. So any other thing, it's a lie. Oh, y'all talk to me here. Jesus says, I'm the truth and I am the life. No man comes to the Father but by me. The only way to God is Jesus. Jesus. The only way, glory to the name of God, to have God's approval on what you're doing is to go through Jesus, because he gives us the grace, he gives us the mercy, glory to the name of God, to be able to accomplish what he's given us to do in this planet. And finally, and I got to get out of here, so say decisions. I gotta have decisions. If I'm going to enlarge. Come on, I can't hear y'all. Y'all say, I gotta have decisions if I'm going to enlarge. So I gotta get rid of deceptions. So I gotta discern the counterfeits. Now finally, watch this, you gotta have a life of declarations. Can I tell you something before I come quickly to a close? You shape the world that you live in with your words. You are where you are based on how you speak. And you got to be able— glory to the name of God. I must be really preaching. My mama called me a boy. Glory. I almost felt some kind of way, but I had to look over there. That's my mama. Glory to God. Good God Almighty! Somebody shout declarations! What you say— Holy Harry, because I don't want to go too fast— is what you get. Give me about 7 minutes, I'll be with you directly, I promise you. A declaration is an official announcement that what you say shall be yours. That's why you can't speak negative words. You got to begin to speak those things that are not as though they were. The Bible declares you can decree a thing, you can declare a thing, and it will come to pass. Lord have mercy. You got to understand how powerful your words are. The Bible says in Job 22:28, I got to get out of here because a declaration is an official announcement or notification at the beginning of a thing. It is a listing of goods, income, property, or etc. So if you want to make a million dollars, I say every day, I am a billionaire. Y'all not talking to me here. Those are the words that come out of my mouth. Y'all not talking. And as much as I said, the innovation begins to stir in me. The ideas begin to come. You got to begin to declare what you want to be. I declare every day that my house is paid in full. I declare every day that I have no debt. I own all my cars. Y'all not talking. I decree and declare that my children are blessed every single day and that they're prospering and living the life that God has for them. I'm telling you, you can have have what you say. The Bible, the Bible says in Job 22:28— I got to go. It said— I wish I can teach this some more, but I gotta go, y'all. The Bible said, thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established, and the light shall shine upon your ways. See, God gives you the power that he has. God created with his mouth. Glory to the name. He said, let there be light. And there was light. God gives you that same power to speak to your situation and declare it what you need it to be. I got to get out of here. Can I tell you something? It's easier to give birth to a new baby than to spend time trying to raise the dead. There are people that's trying to raise dead stuff, dead relationships, dead careers. God said, create the life you want. Open your mouth and begin to say, God, this is where I want to be. I got to get out of here. Glory to God. The Bible, the Bible said, if you go to Genesis chapter number 1, just hit me and leave, Harry. Glory to God. The Bible declares, since you want to stay there anyway, just hit me and leave. The Bible Says in Genesis 1:3, and God said. It says in Genesis 1:5, and God called. He's using his mouth. It says in Genesis 1:6, and God said. Oh my God, it says in Genesis 1:8, and God called. Genesis 1:9, and God said. I wish I could preach this like I feel it. Genesis 1:10, and God called. Genesis 1:11, and God said. Genesis 1, oh my God, 1:13, 1:14, I'm sorry, and God said. Oh my God, Genesis 1:19, 1:20, and God says. Genesis 1:21, and God said. 1:24, and God said. 1:26, and God said. 128, and God said. 129, and God said. 131, watch this, and God saw. He said it until he saw it. You gotta make up your mind. I'm gonna say it until I see it. You ought to talk to your car. Call it a Mercedes until you see it. Declare my Your house is paid for until you see it. You gotta say it until you see it. Do I have anybody here that's made up your mind?

I'm gonna open my mouth and create my world.

You ought to call your husband forth. Call your wife forth. You ought to open your mouth and declare you're blessed. You're blessed when you come. You're blessed where you go. Open your mouth and say, I am the head and I'm not the tail. I'm above and I'm not beneath.

You ought to declare it. I'm a lender and not a borrower.

You ought to declare it. I'm saved, I'm healed, I'm delivered. Say it! I know y'all scared of COVID but just hit somebody and say, say it till you see it. Say it till you see it. Say it till you see it. Say it till you see it. You are blessed. You are healed. You are delivered. You are rich. You are powerful. You are filled with joy.

Shout gloryfully-yam! Somebody watch him cry.

I dare you begin to say it until you see it. It's a new day. I know they said that coronavirus has created a new normal, but I stopped by here today to tell somebody the devil is a liar. I decree and declare that coronavirus must die. I decree and declare that healing will sweep our land.

I decree and declare that the blood of Jesus still works.

The blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, the blood, it still works. I'm done. Everybody stand on your feet. Ah, glory to God. Say it, say it until you see it. Hallelujah. He wants to enlarge your territory. He wants to do more from you. Thank you. He wants to do more for you than has ever been done before in your life. Say it, say it. What do you want? What do you need? What are you looking for? What do you desire? I dare you right now to lift your hands and just begin to Declare it. Speak those things that are not as though they were. Declare you're a millionaire. Declare your business is prosperous. Declare you're debt-free. Declare you're healed by his stripes. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, open your mouth. We say it until we see it. Come on, let's pray. Say this with me. Those watching, I want you to pray with us. Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I receive the word. Say, I will disconnect from covenant breakers. Say, I will disconnect from evil-favored Say, "In the name of Jesus, I receive your loving kindness, your tender mercy." Say, "Father, I praise you that I have victory now, that I will make decisions." Say, "I will make decisions with incision because of precession." Decision. Say, in the name of Jesus, I will declare with my mouth what I desire. Say, I'll speak those things that are not as though they were. I'll say it until I see it. Hallelujah! Come on, give God praise! Come on, give God praise! Everybody in your arms. I love my time with you. I bow before your throne. Lord, I worship you, for you are God alone. And I worship you, you're always in my heart. Your love is so brand new, wrapped up in your arms. I love my time with you. I bow before your throne. Lord, I worship you. You are God alone. Come on, guys, y'all sing it. Come on, everybody sing to God. Wrapped up in your arms. Come on, say, I love my time with you. I bow before your throne.

Lord, I worship you.

Come on, sing! You are good, and I worship. You're always in my heart. Your love is so brand new, wrapped up in your arms. I love my time with you, with you, with you. I bow before you.

Lord, I worship. I worship. I love God alone. I love God alone.

He's Lord over our nation, Lord over every situation in our lives. You are God, you are God alone, alone, alone. What's your aunt's name? Linda. Come here, come here. Come on, every hand lifted. We worship. Thank you, God. Thank you, Lord. I'm gonna pray for you. I ain't got COVID and I ain't scared, so I'm gonna pray for you because the Lord told me to. The Lord said today he's went back in your past and every wound— I'm looking at your heart— has been broken in a million pieces and you just kind of have coasted through. But God said today to tell you it's a new day. I'm putting things together for you. I'm doing what has never been done before because I'm taking every piece of that heart and I'm putting it back together. God said, even as you cross over into 2021, it shall be a year of stability. It should be a year of consistency. And the things you dreamed about as a little girl. God said your dream is not dead. The Lord said, Michael, say to my daughter her dreams are still alive and 2021 will be the year of your dreams. How? God said right before your eyes, all of the hurt, all of the pain God said, I'm gonna make it up to you, and 2021 will be the year of your dream. So be it. Shabba and soot. And we give you praise, God, and we give you glory. Stir it up, God, in the name of Jesus. So be it. Somebody point your hand towards it. So be it, and it shall not be otherwise. Come on, say it again.

Say, so be it, and it It shall not be otherwise.

I am the Lord. I am the Lord, your healer.

Father, you said in your word that you sent your word to heal our disease, and with your stripes we are healed. And you did tell us that if there be any sick among us, call for the elders of the church, let them lay hands upon them, pray the prayer of faith, and the sick would recover. I speak to the sinus issues, respiratory issues, and I command her respiratory system to align itself with your word. I release angels now. Toph, shof, top, pop, pop, top.

Father, we thank you for healing our land now. We curse coronavirus at the root and we plead the blood. In the name of Jesus, 'cause you said your word to heal my disease. I am the Lord, your healer. We bless your Holy name, Father.

Can I pray for you, daughter?

Haley, let me pray for you. Lift your hands up, Haley. Ben, I want you to help me. Come here. Put your hand in the back, Ben. And begin to pray in the spirit. The reason I got Ben touching you, because Ben was born to worship. That's why he's in the earth. You watch your mom with awe, and the Lord told me to tell you, I looked at you today, that the mantle that's on her God said it's not impossible for you to sing like that because it's in your belly already. And so today, as we pray, we're going to break the shyness, and I'm going to pray that God will release godly confidence and boldness. And I declare, 6 months from now, you'll be leading worship with your mom. You'll be leading songs. The glory will flow out of you and in such a great way, not just singing but worshiping. And you're gonna do it boldly, said the Lord, and many in your generation will come to the Lord because of you. God said he loves you.

And he's—

oh my God, he says that he's so in tune with you. And while you think many don't understand you, he says he does. Because not only are you a worshiper, God, Ben touching you too, because there's a prophetic mantle on— out of all my children, Ben has my mantle. And God has that prophetic mantle on your life, and you're gonna prophesy through your song, through your worship. Father, let your glory be revealed in her. And as Ben and I pray for her today, we come into agreement, God. Hallelujah! That the gift in her is being stirred, that the Spirit of the Living God is filling her up now. And God, that you will give her Godly confidence and boldness. And God, that she will worship under the banner of heaven. She will unlock the realm of glory. And God, many will know her name because of what you're doing in her. Let her her mother's mantle be in her even in a greater way. In the mighty name of Jesus, we declare it and we say it is so. In Jesus' name, amen. Hallelujah. Glory to Shai. Oh, we bless you, God. Oh God, we glorify you. Thank you, God. Yes, Lord. I'm trying to quit, Harry, but I want you to listen to this. Wanda, right where you are, just lift your hands up. I just heard this in my spirit. You've been waiting on a blessing. It seems it just won't come. Doors are shut, things are rough, and it seems like you are done. Sing it for me, Felicia.

But the devil is a liar. He is a liar. This is what I want to tell you.

The Lord said, God is not through blessing you. Come on, say it again. You've been waiting on a blessing, and it seems Doors shut, doors are shut, things rough, things are rough, and it seems like, like no one cares, but the devil is a liar, he is a liar, and a deceiver.

I see you, Deeper 2. God is not through.

Come on, say it again.

God is not through. Say it again. God is not through blessing you. Blessing you.

Wonder The Lord said to tell you he ain't finished with you until his glory can be seen. Since you lost your father, it's been hard to get your balance back. You— but God says, I'm getting ready to take you into a dimension in your business, in your finances, in— oh my God, in your relationships. God says, I'm about I'm about to do what you never thought could be done. And as a matter of fact, he says, I'm gonna do for you what people said wouldn't be done. The ones that doubted what you said, the ones that talked about you when you wasn't looking. God said, I'm going to magnify you in the eyes of people and they will see my hand and see my glory and they will know it was God that has exalted you. For your season has changed. It's a new time. It's a new day. Receive it even now in Jesus' name. Somebody praise him. He never failed us yet, y'all. Yes, Lord.

Yes, Lord.

Sherea, just stay right there. Lift your hands. I heard the Lord say Because when I looked at you this morning, it's crazy. While you were moving around the building, welcoming and moving different things around and just doing the things you normally do on a Sunday, I saw your family behind you. And the Lord said one of the first charges of your ministry is— well, it's going to be to bring your family into a deeper place. I heard the Lord saying Atlanta and relocation for your mama, your daughter, your son. God's— and even I see 3 of your cousins. One of your cousins, if they don't get out of what they're in, 2022 will take their life. But God said they're gonna change geography before that. And I heard the Lord say it will be through your voice. He said, "Just speak, they will listen." He told me, "Tell you, I've already prepared their heart. They're gonna hear you." He said he's removing fear today. Speak and they shall obey, said the Lord. God says, I prepare greater and mightier things for them.

Thank you, Jesus.

We bless your name. Listen, we're going, we're going, but I hear that in my right ear. God, I know we gave earlier, but I just heard the Lord say And y'all know I don't do this often, that we need to plant a special seed into the anointing today, into our future. And as we do it, we're going to decree what we want that seed to be. The Bible says, whatsoever we sow, that shall we reap. We're going to name that seed. I want everybody sowing. I'm not going to tell you what to do. To do, but he told me to tell you right now, get your best seed and make it a sacrifice, something you really can't afford, but God's gonna multiply that seed a thousand times more. Get it together now. Those of you online, you can give at rhodachurch.com/donate. Cash App, Rhoda Church. Do it quickly, quickly. Glory to God. Peyton, lift up your hands. God knows I love you. I tell Felicia all the time, you're the daughter I never got to have, and through marrying her, I inherited a daughter and now a granddaughter. Here's what the Lord told me to say to you. He said, I've been taking you through these uncomfortable seasons where you don't quite understand everything that's going on with school, with jobs, trying to balance the baby and what you have to do. The Lord said, I've been taking you through these seasons because he says, for a long time now I've been wooing at your heart. And he says, your hands are so blessed. He told me to tell you, you should never have to work for anyone because the blessing of your life is in your hands. And God says to tell you, when you step out on faith, trust him, just do what you know to do. He says he's gonna meet you there in every resource. Every piece of finance you need to do what you know in your belly you should be doing. He said he's going to help you get it done. He's— I've been drawing you close. He's— I even allowed your heart to be vulnerable and be broken and be hurt because that was designed to draw you to him. He says, I'm longing for fellowship with you. From a little girl, you've loved God. From a little girl, your eyes have been able to see. And God says now he wants to bring all those gifts into maturity because your days ahead are going to be filled with great prosperity. And God's teaching you so wonderfully. I've been watching you grow as a mother. He said, stop questioning yourself as a mom. You're a great mother. You're exactly what Kenley needs. And God says she watches you. What you do, she'll do. And as you grow in him and build business in him, she gonna follow right behind you and do the exact same, because she's your mini me. And what you do, she'll do also. So don't give up. The only way you lose is you quit, because God told me to tell you, you're going to win. In Jesus' name.

Hallelujah.

Okay, all right, so on your way out you can grab refreshments I thought, you know, we, we did a— we ran a Facebook ad, and I like— I know people still doing COVID. We had— when I looked at it this morning, it was like 1,900 people in the last 2 weeks that engaged it, that clicked the link. Uh, we probably picked up maybe 400 new people on our text list from texting Rada Now to 31996. And I was praying, the Lord said, well, you know, all these people not coming coming. So, but I'm glad they're engaging what we're doing. Amen. So, and these were people— that ad was ran specifically from people in the Atlanta area. And this lady, she came because she saw the ad. That, that did my heart good today. Thank you for being here, and the Lord has done a wonderful thing in your life. I want you to give the testimony with that sinus and that asthma release, okay?
