He died for us, ladies and gentlemen. He died for us for real. And we give you glory, God. Hallelujah for redeeming us. You were the sacrificial lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world. The cross has the final word in our life, God. No matter what life has dealt us, no matter what we've gone through, no matter what our current condition, no matter what others have said concerning us, the cross has the final word.

Father, bless your word today. We worship you and we glorify Sanctify you. Let your anointing fill this very room. Do something unusual. Something man cannot do. Saturate this atmosphere the more with your presence. Let your word go out in a way that the weak would leave saying, "I'm strong." That the poor would leave saying, "I'm rich." That the discouraged would leave encouraged. That doubters would leave with faith. Faith. God, I pray that this word would go out even through the live media, through social media, God, and that somebody will listen and know that you are for us and not against us. We give you praise for that now. Yes, Lord.

Thank you.

In the matchless name of Jesus. You're our champion. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And Lord Jesus, we are a part of the bloodline of a champion, and we glorify you for it. In Jesus' name, amen. And thank the Lord. Hallelujah. Well, the Lord bless. Clap your hands, everybody, and give God praise. Even those watching, clap your hands and bless Jesus. Glory to God. If y'all can turn the house lights up for me, it'd be great. Praise God, so we can see in here. Hallelujah! Glory to God! I love the Lord. He's wonderful, he's awesome, he's mighty. Praise God! Hallelujah! Well, y'all, as y'all know, praise God, yeah, and there was light. Glory to God! Hallelujah! I have been teaching— good to see you, Sharia. Praise God! I have been teaching this series on Supernatural apply, but the last 3 times the Lord has interrupted that. And so we've been interrupted again. So this morning I want you to go to Psalm 20, and I want to share with you what thus saith the Lord today. All right, I'm just going to give it to you like he gave it to me. Is that okay? Psalm 20. And as you're turning, um, I want to just give you a brief historical background of Psalms so you can understand the Book of Psalms. The word psalm actually in Hebrew means praise or songs. So this is the book of songs. Songs. That's what Psalms mean— songs of worship, songs of praise. They were penned by various authors, from David to Moses. David didn't write all of them. Some people think he did, but he didn't. There are some unknown authors of Psalms. Psalms is basically divided into 5 books. There are no chapters. This 20th division is a division. It is not a chapter. Uh, some would, uh, say that there are chapters, but they're not. There are actually 5 different books. Uh, one of the books are— is a book that represents Messianic Psalms. These are songs of worship or praise or poetic poise that speak directly prophetically about the coming of the Messiah or something the Messiah will do or has has done. Secondly, you have what is called imprecatory psalms. Imprecatory psalms were psalms that— of imprecation, where they were written in the form of a prayer or worship, again, that would invoke God's wrath or his defense against an issue, against a problem. Psalms of imprecation, imprecatory Thirdly, there are what is called didactic psalms. Didactic psalms are psalms that are sung— watch this— in the midst of the tabernacle before teaching would be done. So the church took it up and called it a sermonic solo, somebody singing before the preacher, but actually that's biblical. A didactic psalm was a psalm that was designed to set the atmosphere in the heart and the mind before the high priest would teach or relay the message of the Torah to those who were listening. And then you also have, in addition to those, you have what is called— and, and these are— this is one of my favorite songs— these are royal songs, songs that were written just for the king. They were only sung in the king's court, or when the king would worship, or when the king would come to the Tabernacle. They were written for him. Today we find ourselves reading from an imprecatory psalm, and this is a psalm to the chief musician in the Tabernacle, written by David, that's challenging the chief musician to implicate God's presence to defend God's people. So let's read it. Verse 1 says, the Lord hear thee in the day of trouble. The name of the God of Jacob defend thee. Send thee help, O my God, from the sanctuary and strengthen thee out of Zion. Remember all thy offerings and accept thy burnt sacrifice. Salah. Verse 4, grant thee according to thine own heart and fulfill all thine counsel. We will rejoice in thy salvation and in the name of our God. Hear me, hallelujah! We will set up our banners. The Lord fulfill all our petitions. Verse 6, we will rejoice. I'm I'm sorry. Now know I that the Lord saveth his anointed. Oh Lord, touch yourself and say, I am anointed.

Hallelujah.

He saveth his anointed. He will hear from his holy heaven with the saving strength.

Oh my God.

Of his right hand. Some trust in chariots and summon horses. But we, those of us that are in the kingdom here, in the family, we will remember the name of the Lord our God. They are brought down and fallen, but we are risen and stand upright. Save, Lord!

Yes, God.

Let the King hear us when we call. Just for a few moments this morning, family in here and those watching us live, I want to deliberate around this thought: I know he heard me. Yes. Would you touch yourself and just open your mouth and declare that? Say, I I know he heard me. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Uh, just before we get into this, I want to go to 1 John. Let's flip over there really quick. Hallelujah. See, in order for God to really hear, one must pray. He can't hear what is not said. Glory to God. 1 John 5:14. Say again. Say, I know you heard me. The Bible says, and if we know— say it again— I know you heard me. And if we know that he heard us, watch this. Whatsoever we ask, say whatever we ask. Hallelujah. We know that we have the petitions that we desire to him. Lord, I'm about to run. Glory to God.

Say it again.

Say, I know he heard me. Let's break this down. So he says, and if we know— somebody say no. This word no No, the Greek word is orda. Orda is perfect or absolute accurate knowledge. Let me give an example what orda is. 1 1 is 2. That's perfect knowledge. There's no time in history where you can change that. Past, present, or future, 1 1 is going to always be 2 times 2 gonna always be what? 4. That's order. Perfect absolute knowledge. Can I submit to you, your faith has to bring it to a place that what you know about God is perfect and absolute knowledge that can never be changed in your heart nor your mind. It can never be challenged. It can never be undone. And I believe I got some people in this room and some people watching me that have learned something about God that cannot be changed. I don't know about you, but there's some stuff in my life that I can look back— oh Lord, I feel the preacher, good God— that I can look back over and I know that if it had not been God God that brought me through it, I'd be dead.

There's some situation where if it wasn't God, I'd be in jail. Y'all not talking. If it wasn't God, I'd be sick.

Y'all not talking to me here.

But thanks be to God, I know, and that's order.

It cannot be changed. And here's what I've come to understand as I walk with God.

As I walk with God, I realize—

Lord, I feel the preacher in me today.

Glory to the name of God.

As I walk with him, I've come to recognize that I must take my testimony and the things I know about God through every phase, every situation, every condition of my life, because he never changes. He's perfect, he's absolute. The Bible said the Lord God, he changes not. He's the same, oh my God, yesterday, today, and forever.

Ever.

Oh God, he—

people change, but God, he never changes. Touch yourself and say, I know, I know, I know. Ah yeah, I know, I know. So he says, let me, let me go, let me go, go. He said, and if we know, yes, he hears us. Yes. Let's break that down. The word hear is a-k-o-u in Greek, a- A-K-O-U-O. A-K-O-U is how it'd be spelled in English. A-K-O-U. It's where we get words like acoustics, sound, full sound that is distributed accurately. A-K-O-U means that the sound is distributed perfectly. I have a system on my television in my living room. And they used to be— when you had surround sound, you had to buy speakers behind you and put them on the wall. You had to have speakers in front of you and everywhere. But this particular speaker here has everything built into that one bar. And if somebody's behind me, behind someone on TV, and they're walking, I can literally literally hear it behind me because of the way the speaker projects the sound. It breaks everything up, makes it accurate, make it complete.

Watch this.

God says, I listen with an intent to do what I hear. Amen. Oh, say that with me. Say, God listens with the intent intent to do what he hears. So you got to make sure when you're praying, he's hearing the right thing so he can react to it. Okay, let me show you. He says, and if we know he listens with the intent to react to our prayers— in other words, the scripture says that the ear, the ear of the Father, is forever open to the prayers of the the righteous. He never turns a deaf ear to us. So why is it that we too lazy sometime to pray? Are y'all hearing me?

See, at the end of the day, when— if we have this knowledge that he always hears us, we ought to always be talking.

And he's always listening with the intent to do what he hears.

We should be constantly speaking to God because he's listening with an open ear to do what he hears us say.

Are y'all hearing me? Make sure if you ain't hearing, you got a social media account, please share this. Glory to the name of God. The world needs to hear this word. Praise the name of God. We got to understand that he hears us. He listens with the intent.

This is how I hear.

He listens with the intent to perform Can I prophesy to you today? Can I prophesy to you today?

The word of the Lord—

hear me, glory to God— when it comes forth into our lives, it is completely accurate and full of truth. Matter of fact, God can't lie. Amen. Everything he says is truth. I'm going to say that one more time. Everything God says is truth. Those of you watching me, please share this, because some of us have been led to believe that God picks and chooses not to answer us.

He's going to answer us if we're praying the right way.

Watch Watch this. He says, and we know that he hears.

This is verse 15. Whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire.

Wait a minute, let's look at this word. No, this word, no, in verse 15, again, or die, but it takes on a different tense. It's not just absolute knowledge.

It, it—

this means that it's acknowledged, it has been experienced before. He's saying, now I know this because he did it before. And of course, his has done is just as powerful as his will do. I'm gonna say that one more time. His has done— it just sounded right— it's just as powerful beautiful as his will do. If God performed it before, he can perform it again. Y'all not talking to me here. God ain't sleep, or nor is he slumbering, nor is he lazy. He wants to bless us. He wants to answer our prayers. He wants us to give us the petition. Watch this, this is powerful, man. A petition, a intima, a-i-t-m-a, a intima, that word in Greek, a intima, it means a request specifically surrounding a purpose. So God says, when you request things that connect to my purpose for you, in other words, I can't petition God God to let me have 5 wives, he ain't gonna honor that petition because that ain't purpose. Are y'all hearing me? And then I feel sorry for the other folk because Felicia may kill them. Are y'all hearing me?

Glory to God.

So I can't pray that prayer because I want people to live, and then it's not according to his plan.

Yeah, the Bible said let every man have his own wife.

They lobbying in Washington right now for polygamy so that it can be legal that a man can have 5 wives. And let me prophesy to you, it's going to happen in America. It's going to happen. They passed homosexuals getting married. That is coming. Just, just, they open Pandora's box and everything is about to fall out of it. That's why we got to keep Hallelujah!

Because we—

our constitution is the Bible. I'm not preaching that today, but God says, I will give you what you requested according to plan. You know, if God's got a whole plan, a whole agenda that he's designed of stuff, of things he needs to give you, tools he needs to supply you with so you could do the work that God has called you to do in the earth, earth. But you can't get it if you don't request it. I'm, I'm trying to motivate you to talk to him. I'm trying to motivate you this morning to make requests. Watch this, it's in his plan that people be healed. Watch this, that coronavirus be eradicated. If you don't request it— y'all not talking to me here, you gonna keep accepting what the media tell you is the new norm.

Oh boy, glory to God.

And this ain't the new norm. As I was praying this morning, the Lord had me say the new norm is a walk in the glory. The new norm is to be refined in fire. The new norm is to be covered in the blood, to be masked in the principles of the the word.

Not to put on a physical mask to protect me from disease.

I believe in God that he's going to eradicate this disease, and those of us that walk in glory will have a permanent force field around us.

I don't care what comes up, if you got the glory around you, you just got to believe it. My request every day: Lord, put a shield around me, be a fence around me, cover me in your blood, let your glory cover my whole life, and let nothing that's not like you enter space.

You got to request it. Touch yourself, say you got to request it. Do like Brown, say self, say you got to request it.

Hallelujah. Glory to God.

I knew that would help you talk to yourself. Glory to God.

Hallelujah.

So, so now back up to verse 14. Watch this. And this is the confidence— I read 15 first because I wanted to show you the result, but this is how we get there. And this is the confidence. Parousia in Greek. Confidence means the boldness. Parousia. Frankness of speech, which means I got a right to talk to him.

I'm confident when I'm talking to him that he's listening.

He said this is the confidence right here. This is the boldness we have that if we ask anything in him, again according to plan. Oh boy, that if we ask anything according— symphoneo— in alignment with his will, in symphony, in harmony with his plan. What's his will? His will— watch this— is his word. Huh. I'll say it again. People be saying, Lord, I want to know your will. Pick up the Bible. This book is full of will. Yes, oh, will, new will, Old Testament, New Testament. Ever go to a law office to get a will ready? They're gonna say, this is the last will and testament. So the Old Testament, New Testament, old will, new will.

So when you praying, you ought to be praying the word.

You ought to be decreeing the word because he's listening with the intent to do his word. Let me give you an example. So what you want to do, if you got a financial need, you find the promise in the Bible that covers that need. That would be Philippians 4:13.

And my God shall supply all my need according to his riches in glory.

Are you hearing me? Well, you know where it's at. 4:13-19. Listen, glory to God, I was right that the scripture is in Philippians 4. Come on now, y'all know where it's at. The point is, pray it.

It don't matter where you know where it is if you ain't praying it.

That's why you still live in lack. Glory to God.

Pray it according to his riches. And say, Father, I find that promise. I say, Father, your word says— it's just This is simple.

That you will supply all my needs according to your riches in glory by Christ Jesus the righteous. So Father, I decree and declare that all my needs are met because you can't lie. He's listening for that. He said we ask anything according to his will, he'll do it. So watch this, when you do that, he supplies the need. I'm a witness, he, he does that all the time for me. Amen. I pray that prayer every single day and I never live in lack.

Amen.

I tell you, because you going to pray it every day, I tell you, decree this. Say, in the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus, say, I decree and declare, I declare, say, I'll never be broke, I'll never be broke, another day, another day, in my life, in my life.

I tell you, open your mouth and say, say, I'll never be broke. Somebody watch it.

Another day, another day, in my life, in my life. It's according to his riches.

He's gonna— but you gotta pray it every day because watch this, you ask him to do the promise after you find it, then you rejoice for the results.

It's just that simple. This— that's the confidence we have, that when we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us. Thank you. Oh, you again, he listens with the intent to do what he heard. Say that with me. Say, the Lord hears me. Come on, say it again. Say, the Lord hears me. Come on, one more time. The Lord hears me. Yes, Lord. Hallelujah. And see, most of the time when we're not getting answers to our prayers, it's because we're not praying the word. Amen. And our faith— the Bible said, believe when you you pray. Yes.

Hallelujah.

Which means while you saying it, you ought to be believing it. Yes, that's right. Some of us pray, we soon we get through praying, we start moving in doubt. You'll never receive the answers to your prayer without faith. You got to have it. All right, now let's go back to Psalm 20. Y'all thought I forgot, didn't you? Say, I know he heard me. I know he heard me. Come on, say it again. Say, I know he heard me. We going to get out of here. Glory to God. Stay with me, those of you watching us live. Don't you leave. Share this, cuz we're living in a time where we don't have a good presidential candidate. I'll say it again, we do not have a good candidate, and we need to pray that God will reveal to us whose heart is going to submit to him. You can't just go in there voting just based on what you think you You know, you better pray and ask God to lead you because this election is important. I'm gonna tell you why it's important, because the agenda of the kingdom has come to a place now where the agenda of the kingdom must be advanced. And there's something that God wants to do in the political mountain where we're going to need politicians and government of the earth to have an alignment with God's heart to assist us to carry out heaven's agenda. Oh, y'all didn't hear that? I didn't say the church's agenda, I said heaven's agenda.

Heaven has an agenda for the world.

And in order for us to move in rada, move in dominion, we have to be aligned with God's heart. And we have to be so aligned that we move in a power that we can relate to the powers in the earth, that they will give the manpower and in some cases the resources. I'm not talking about selling out to them, I'm talking about using them to be a part of God's God's move. We have to emerge where we have leaders in government that look to kingdom leaders for advice and guidance, for real. That says, I don't know what to do right here, my cabinet can't tell me, we need a word from the Lord. Which candidate will say we need a word from the Lord? Which candidate will honestly say I don't know how to handle this.

We need to hear from God.

Let's call the prophets. Let's not just call a group of preachers to the White House because they got big churches and they can support our reelection.

Now let's call the men and the women that can hear from the Lord.

So this Psalm to the Chief Musician imprecatory psalm, and then partially it actually is— oh my God— a royal psalm, because it deals with— it was, it was during worship when the king came to the temple. But it's imprecatory because we need God to hear us in this troublesome time. How many of you agree with me? That we need to hear from God. We're clear he hears us when we pray, and we need his voice.

We don't need the voice of men who prognosticate out of their flesh.

We don't need the voice of seducing spirits that pull us into themselves to amass and build their own kingdoms.

The Bible says— I said this Thursday night—

that many will give heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of devils. The seducing spirit is from the pulpit. There are many pulpiteers, orators, in this day and time who are standing behind the sacred desk operating in a seducing spirit, only desiring to seduce people to themselves. So they can advance their personal kingdom. That day is over. God says, I need conducers. I need men and women of God who are conducers. A conducer pulls you through.

It don't pull you in, it pulls you through.

A conduit that is equipped to bring you through them to God. The whole design of the church is to get people to the Father. Father, amen, not to the man.

And the Bible said there'll be a great falling away.

There was an article, uh, that I discussed on Thursday. This is powerful. 25 to 40% of churchgoers have testified that they will not return to church because of COVID-19. That's a lot. That's because Because when they was in church before, let me tell you why the preacher was not a conduit. Because if you pull people through you to God, there's no way they can miss the need for his house. There's something that happens in the house that don't happen online. There's something, there's something in the spirit, in the culture of the atmosphere that occurs that can't happen when you watching through a tablet. The man of God, the woman of God is a conduit that should pull you to God. Most people assemble to see one man and celebrate his popularity. Celebrate his iconolistic value to society when we should be pulling people through to God. But we got hope. David wrote a song 2,000 years ago, 2,000 years ago, and he said The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble. I need to announce to you today, we're in a day of trouble. Trouble here, the word trouble in Hebrew here is tasarah. It means the day of perplexion, the day of agitation, the day of frustration.

Watch this.

Days of fear. Tessa, he said, I hear you in the day of fear. I said Thursday how the media have seduced so many into being afraid of coronavirus, into being afraid to go outside, go to a store, go to a restaurant. Well, when— watch this— when, when the flu in certain seasons have killed more than the coronavirus coronavirus. But because the media then seduce us and tell us to be afraid of the flu, we kept living.

We want to hear this kind of talk, but I'm telling you, it's a seduce—

CNN is a seducing spirit. Fox News is a seducing spirit that pulls us in.

Glory to God. Lord have mercy.

He said the Lord hear you in the day of tightness. Tesarah also means tightness. In the day of affliction, anguish, adversity, God says I hear you. Again, he can't hear it if we don't say nothing, if we don't make the request. We got to recognize we in trouble. It's some trouble in the land. Anytime almost 40% of people saying I ain't going back to church, we in trouble. Anytime preachers are scared to open their church. And on that note, men of God, I'm telling you right now, the Lord said open up his doors, open up his house. I know your offerings are better online, but the Lord said open the doors. I know you have no overhead. You have no staff you have to pay. But God said, open the doors, open them, or keep them closed for good.

Because— yeah, I hear you, God.

And the Lord said, as you obey, I'll show you great and mighty things which you've never seen. I'll make people aware and believe that I am the source, I am the resource, and I will protect them. But you must trust me. Listen, all this starts with the head. If the leader's scared, y'all ain't saying nothing. Everybody's scared. Have mercy. The leader follows the— the people follow the leader. I mean, then people going— they like getting up in their pajamas watching their pastor eating a bowl of cereal. But listen, God says we got to get back to the house. He hears us in this trouble.

He, he, he, he heard us. He already heard us.

Let's create a new normal in the supernatural. Oh, glory to God. He hear the endeavor.

Watch this.

The name of the God of Jacob defend you.

Yes. Hallelujah.

Wait a minute. Name deals with identity. The the identity of the God of Jacob. Who's the God of Jacob? He's El Elyon. He's the Lord God Almighty. He's El Shaddai. I didn't say Shaddai, I said Shaddai. He's El Shaddai. He's the God that's more than enough.

Are y'all hearing me? What?

Glory to God. He's Jehovah Makkedesh.

He's the Lord our righteous. Watch this.

Our righteousness is not predicated on rules. It's predicated on the efficacious, vicarious, substitutionary work of the cross. What Jesus did I'm righteous because of the redeeming blood of Jesus.

I live holy because I got a revelation of the cross. I live for God because of what he's done for me.

Oh Lord, have mercy. Are y'all hearing me?

It ought to be a return. Now I don't live for God because I'm scared he gonna kill me.

I live for him because he died for me. He's my righteousness. He—

he— watch this.

So when the Father looks at my sinful nature, the Father won't kill me because Jesus, he redeemed the name of Jehovah Makkedesh. He's my righteousness. That name defends me.

Y'all hearing me? The name of God of Jacob defends us.

He's Jehovah Tsidkenu. He's the Lord our sanctifier. I grew up in the church where they told us being sanctified was a long dress 6 inches from the floor. And let me tell you something, them sister came in there with a dress that them mothers thought was 6 inches from the floor. They carried a ruler in pocketbook. They look at it, come on, come on here, girl, pop that rule on there and make sure it was 6 inches from the floor. If it was, if it was more than 6 inches, oh my God, they told them go home because that ain't sanctified. I grew up in a church where they had to wear thick stockings, no makeup, no earrings. Y'all not talking to me here. They said that was sanctified. I'm like, Lord, I thought your word said you beautify the meek with salvation. Jesus, because that didn't look too good. That's why a lot of them sisters were single, because they had no makeup on. Y'all not talking here. Glory to God, they couldn't beautify— I'm all for self-help. If you need help, help. Glory to your name. Get some weed, get some makeup. Glory to God, whatever you need to do.

Praise God.

And you ain't going to hell. Praise the Lord.

But don't let showed us. But you know what I learned?

There was just as much hell on the long dress as it was a short dress. It just took that woman in the long dress a little longer to bend down and pull hers up to do what she needed to do. But it was just as much hell under that dress if she wasn't sanctified in her heart. See, sanctification means that you're consecrated, you're set apart.

Touch yourself and say, I've been set apart.

Oh my God, say, I'm consecrated for purpose, for assignment.

Said, I will do it in my lifetime. So I will not die before I finish my purpose, in Jesus' name.

Come on, give God praise for that. The name of the God of Jacob defend us, Jehovah Jireh. The Lord, our provision. Oh, Jehovah Jireh means that we'll never be in lack. He provides what he promises. Jireh also means it will be seen. If he said it, you gonna see it.

Oh boy, if he said it, you gonna see it.

I'm gonna say that one more time, some of y'all miss it.

If God— that's why you got to read the word and know what's promised to you.

If he said said it, you gonna see it.

And you know what you ought to do?

Because it's Jehovah Jireh, you ought to say it until you see it.

Because if he said it, you're gonna see it.

And you ought to start confessing it out of your mouth and say it until you see it.

Watch this. Go to Genesis.

Go to Genesis. I'm gonna go back. I'm gonna go back to someone. I got to go here. I'm almost done. Go to Genesis. Genesis. Genesis. Go quick, go quick. It's first book in the Bible. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Genesis 1:6, and God said. Genesis 1:8, and God called. He talking, y'all. Somebody say, say it till you see it. Come on, say it again. Say, say it till you see it.

Verse 9, and God said.

Verse 10, and God called.

Verse 11, and God call. Glory to God. Verse 14, and God said.

Verse—

oh my God. Verse, verse, verse, verse 20, and God said.

Glory to God.

Hallelujah. Verse 24, and God said. Glory to God. Verse 26, and God said. Verse— oh my God. And verse 28, and God blessed them. Verse 29, and God said. And verse 31, and God saw he everything that he had made.

Wait a minute, he said it until he saw it. And I'm telling you, if God has spoken, you need to say it until you see it. Say it again, say, say it till you see it. You, you need to declare, I am blessed and not cursed, until you see it. You need to declare, I'm the head and not the tail, until you until you see it.

You need to speak to your car and declare what car you want it to be until you see it. Speak to the square footage in your house and declare that it is what you want it to be until you see it.

I'mma keep saying I'm a billionaire until I become one.

Y'all not talking, you gotta say it until you see it.

Say it again, say, say it till you see it. Go back to Psalm 20. I just wanted y'all to take, I'm gonna take that rabbit trail to show you, 'cause you got power in what you say. Say something, because again, he heard us. He heard us. He cannot respond if you do not open your mouth.

Wide mouths open the heavens wide.

Oh, okay, y'all missed that.

Wide mouths open the heavens wide.

I ain't even got out of verse 1. Let me bridge out of this. The name of the God of Jacob defend you. Jehovah Rapha, that's one of his names. God our healer. Wait a minute, it says it defends me, so why am I afraid of coronavirus? Because if, if you're afraid of it, you don't believe he defends you.

Just that.

So you believe CNN Fox News, Dr. Fauci, if that's his name, funky Fauci, whatever his name is. Dr. Fauci, he's a very smart guy, no disrespect, but whether you believe him over what God said, he may be right. So if he's 100% correct, Dr. Fauci, in his assessment of the coronavirus virus. I have to choose whether I'm going to believe him, or am I going to believe that the Lord Jehovah Rapha, the Lord my healer, defends me. Amen. These folks going to the club, car shows, yes, God, yes, packed out with no mask on. They don't believe in God. They smoking weed, getting high, going to do what they want to do.

Guess what?

Ain't none of them getting coronavirus because they ain't thinking about it. And we sitting up in the church, got a protector that will defend us. Yeah, as King Bark, bark, bark, chicken, bubblegum church. That's what's happening.

Weak spaghetti-backed saints not willing to trust God.

And it's a dangerous thing. This whole thing was a test to see where we adversity teaches you— and I'm closing with this, I'll finish this Thursday— what you really believe. I'll say it again: adversity, trouble, will teach you what you really believe. So when trouble shows up, that's when your belief system is really tested. Oh, it's really easy to believe God when all your bills are You're getting paid. There's no coronavirus. The media's not telling you you're gonna die if you go outside. I mean, you have people— let me just give something like 9/11 and post-9/11. They start talking about the threats of terrorism and they start talking— y'all remember anthrax? So you have folks that were saved, scared to go to the mailbox. I went to the mailbox every day and never thought twice that anthrax was coming to my house. See, adversity teaches you what you believe.

The word—

watch this— the root of the word adversity is ad. Ad is a marketing campaign that magnifies a a product. Watch this. So God uses adversity to advertise his glory. He advertises who he is through adversity because his people choose to trust him through adversity. I'm done, y'all. Y'all stand, we gonna pray. I can't go any longer because if I keep going, we would be here all day. Just, just, just keep it rolling, Mike, because I want to pray for those that's watching us. Hallelujah! The Lord hears you. The Lord hears you. The Lord hears you. Touch yourself and say, the Lord hears me in adversity, in trouble. But he cannot hear if we do not speak. Right now, as we begin to look to heaven, I want you to get on your heart what you need to do. Right there watching me in this building, close your eyes and look to heaven. Please close your eyes, look to heaven. And I want us to come into agreement as a family. All my partners, friends that are watching this video, listening to this podcast, listen, I need you to pray with me right now. So Father, in Jesus' name, we come against the coronavirus. And we come against the fear, the seducing spirits that have caused us to back away and live in isolation. But God, in the name of Jesus, Jesus, we come to you this morning and we thank you for the victory over our enemy.

We believe the word that you hear us in the day of trouble. You hear us in adversity. God, so we've assembled in this house today to let you know we're going to trust you through these adverse times. We're going to live under the new normal of God's glory. I pray for every person under the sound of my voice voice, that they will live under the new normal of God's glory and honor and power. And Father, they will trust you when they're going and in their coming. And I pray, God, in the name of Jesus, that the fire and glory of God would overshadow us.

It will protect us. Do it now. Somebody watching, God, is infected with coronavirus. They tested positive. They're afraid. I bind up fear first and give them to know nothing, nothing is as big as it first appears. Touch their body to heal in the name of Jesus. Heal, Lord, in the name of Jesus. Somebody listening is diabetic, has high blood pressure, high cholesterol, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease. I decree the healing virtue of God to touch and heal now. Oh, come on, just pray in this building. Somebody is getting delivered now.

Somebody on the other side of this camera is receiving their healing.

I'm looking at someone now. Glory to the—

you got a child.

I'm looking at a young child. It's a 15-year-old boy. Yes, God, I see it in the name of Jesus.

There's a 15-year-old boy, your son.

He's wayward, he's smoking drugs, he's hanging out with all the wrong people, and you fear for his life.

I just heard the Lord say that he has sent an angel. He has heard your prayers for your son. He heard you, he heard you, and your son is about to be born again.

Before 2021 would come in, you will testify to me. Send me an email, send me an inbox. Your son will be saved in the name of Jesus. Ila tababa sandaya. Someone under the sound of my voice, there's pain in your body, pain in your joints, pain in your knees, pain in your legs, pain in your back, back. The healing virtue of the Father is flowing through your body now. I rebuke arthritis, I rebuke pain in the joints, and I declare now, with his stripes you are healed. Shobabaya! In the name of Jesus, libashante. He heard you. He heard you. Somebody's been praying for a loved one in prison under the sound of my voice. You've been praying for their change of heart and for charges to be dropped and for their release. I have good news for you. God heard you, and God is turning the hand of the judge in the favor of your loved one. And in the name of Jesus, they will be released supernaturally in the month of December.

I just heard God say they were looking at 10 years in jail, but in December before Christmas, I heard the Lord say they're coming home.

The charges are being dropped, and God says, I'm changing their heart. Someone under the sound of my voice, your husband— oh my God— is addicted to pornography. You don't know how to tell him that you see it. You have observed him, you've seen links left up on the computer, and your heart is grieved, your heart is broken. But the Lord said right now you won't have to to tell him right where your husband is, even if he's right next to you, there's a glory that's hitting him now and he's being delivered. But healing and deliverance is the children's bread, and he's going to confess to you that he had, he had an addiction to porn, but the Lord has delivered me. He's delivering him now. He heard you. There's a single mom listening to me who's behind on her bills. Eviction is threatening, utilities are threatened to be turned off. The Lord says he's about to give you a supernatural miracle in your finances today. You will not be evicted. Your lights will not be turned off. God says, I'm about to give you a miracle. But I heard the Lord say, young lady, you got to cut that man off. He is a leech. He's taking away from your household. God said, cut him away from your life. He's keeping you away from the things of God. There's a deeper depth. There's a higher height. Oh, come on, the worshipers are worshiping in this building. Come on, we worship the King, we worship the King. There's a glory in this house. There's a glory going through this camera. There's a glory that's ministering to God's people now. Father, we love you. Father, we love you and we give you the praise.

We give you all the glory, God. We We lift you up and we exalt you, Father.

Someone watching me with stage 4 cancer in your body. Yes, yes, Jehovah Rapha is in your room now. Etababa sanda. The doctors gave you 4 months to live. But the Lord said, you shall live and not die. The angel of the Lord— yes, receive this word of knowledge. Lift up your hands right where you are, right where you are, and receive this word of knowledge. You are being healed by his stripes now, in the name of Jesus. Liquid fire is going through your body now. The cancer is burning up, and you're being made whole. Thank you, Jesus. Healing and deliverance is the children's bread. Come on, worship Come on, worshipers, receive what you need from God today. Come on, come on, it's the children's bread. It belongs to you, it belongs to you.

We thank you that the spirit of revival will come to this city and it will burn in our streets. It will burn through our venues and men will be filled with the Spirit. Men will be healed. Men will be baptized in the Holy Ghost and in water. And we give you glory for it now in the name of Jesus. We receive the harvest.

Say, save me, Lord. Fill me, Lord. Lord with your spirit, in Jesus' name. Say, I decree now my sins are forgiven and I am saved, in Jesus' name. Well, listen, if you prayed that prayer and you just repented of your sins for the first time, I want you to write me, send me an inbox, send us an email at info@radachurch.com, and I want to be able to walk you through the rest of your salvation steps. Listen, God is God's good. This is a great life. I want to challenge everybody right now watching us and in the building. We're going to give unto the Lord. Praise the Lord. This is an act of worship. Praise God. Hallelujah. I thank God for the ability to tithe.

I—

it meant every time I tithe, I'd be so happy that I can give into the kingdom. Amen. And I gave my tithes this week and I was like, man, I thank God that I could just— because I remember a time I wanted to tithe couldn't. So I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to give unto the Lord. So those of you watching, we need your help. Glory to God! To help do the things that God has called us to do. Listen, we're looking for God to ignite revival in this city. We want to be a blessing to those who are less fortunate than us. The Spirit of the Lord spoke to me and said for Christmas we want to— for the homeless— and we're working on this project now. We want to pass out food to them. We want to take 1,000 homeless people. We're going to target 1,000. We're going to get a venue somewhere in the area where they are. We're going to pass out 1,000 military-grade sleeping bags. We're going to pass out 1,000 full-course meals and really be a blessing to these people that are sleeping on the street. We need your help to do this. These offerings help go toward that. They help us continue to do what we're called to do every single day in ministry. So please sow your seed. Glory to God. Give your tithe. There are two ways you can give to our church digitally. You can give via Cash App. The church's Cash App is Rawda Church, and you can give online at rawdachurch.com/donate. So please do not hesitate. Give unto the Lord today. I'm going to pray for your gifts right now, and I trust you will be obedient. Glory to the name of God. To what the Lord tells you. Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for this service today. Thank you for the word. Thank you for how you've heard us in trouble. We know you heard us. And even concerning this, God, you said that we give unto you good measure, pressed down. If we give on— if we give, it shall be given unto us good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will men give to our bosom. So Father, we give to you this morning, and we thank you that as we do that, your word will come alive for us. You hear us because we're praying your will right now, that it will come back to us good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over. Will men give to our bosom, we receive it, Lord. You said that we sow sparingly, we reap sparingly, but if we sow bountifully, we will reap bountifully. So we thank you today for a bountiful harvest. Bless every gift, multiply 1,000 times more than it is, in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. God bless your hearts, and thank you for your giving today. You can cut the feed, Mike. Glory to God, we love you. Hallelujah. Wonderful Savior. God is good.

What's we
