Radah Church Virtual Worship | "The Key of The Kingdom" | Dr. Mike Woods Sr | 28 Feb 2021

Well, grace and peace be multiplied to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is Apostle Mike Woods, and listen, welcome to Toronto Church this morning. I am so glad that you are here with us today. And listen, there is something exciting that's going to happen during this service today, so don't scroll. And I know you had many choices of who you could watch this morning And I'm glad that you chose to watch us. Listen, don't go anywhere. There is a word that's going to revolutionize and change your life. I want to begin this morning by praying, and we're going to read our scripture for today, and we're going to go into praise and worship, and I'm going to teach the word. And I'm not going to hold you long, I promise you. But I know that this service today is going to revolutionize your life and change you forever. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you and we decree and declare that this is the day that the Lord has made. We rejoice, and Father, we are glad in it. So Father, today I'm asking you to move by your power. Let your anointing superimpose itself upon us today. Father, your word declares you sent your word and it healed them in Psalm 107:20. So Father, even as share the word today. I decree and declare that healing will go out, Lord, and many that are suffering with COVID-19, that this word will find their ears, it will find their atmosphere, find their culture, and minister to them the miraculous power of God. Father, we rebuke death. Hallelujah! And we speak life in the name of Jesus. I pray for my classmates, Father, Patricia Neely in particular today and her sister. I decree and declare that the angels of the Lord hearken to the voice of the word and bring healing to her father. I decree and declare that COVID will not murder him. I declare that COVID will not murder her sister. I thank you for healing, God, and we rebuke this nasty demon, this disease overall, globally, God, And we command it to come under the authority of the blood of Jesus once and for all. And we thank you for what you're about to do in Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Well, bless the name of the Lord. We love you guys. I'm telling you, I'm excited about what's going to happen today. Let's read the scripture this morning. Scripture for our service today is coming from Matthew chapter number 6, and I'm going to read one verse, verse number 33. Glory to God. And the Bible says this, it says, but seek first, ah yes, the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things, watch this, will be provided for you. I'm gonna read that again. But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be provided for you. I am so glad to know that. That's good news in the midst of everything we're going through. If we just seek God the King and his kingdom, hallelujah, he says, I'm going to provide for you everything you need. Well, I'm not going to stay here long. Listen, we're going to go right into praise and worship, and while praise and worship is going forth, listen, the ways to give and Sow seed into Rhonda Church.

Jesus— hallelujah to him who reigns forevermore! Amen? Praise be unto Him always! Glory to His holy Name! Oh yes... Yes! Thank You so much. I'm going back over this again because it's just too good not to say something else about that song. It says "We praise thee," right there at the end. And then he goes on saying, 'I will bless Thee' . But what does He mean by blessing them when they're praising Him like that? What was happening here? This man came out blind but now can see. That means his eyes were opened; which meant all things became clear to him from now on. So if somebody comes into Your presence today without seeing anything clearly or being able to hear correctly, don't lose heart. Don't Higher Jesus! High— higher Jesus! Higher and high up and high up we lift you, Jesus! Hey-ya hey-ya hi-ya we lift you, Jesus! Hi-ya hi-ya and high yes no we left to Jesu— hiaa then haiyaa and haiah We lift you Jesus higher! We lift you high— we lift you higher! We lift you Jesus higher! Higher than highest! We lift you Jesus come on can we stop just for seconds to say it? Lift his name higher!

We lift your name higher. We lift your name higher. We lift your name higher. We lift your name higher. We lift your name higher.

Hallelujah! Well, lift your hands, glory to God, right where you are, and just say, Lord, I worship you. I adore you. Come on, declare this. Say, Lord, there is none like you. Say, Father, as I lift my hands, I surrender to your will, to your way, to your plan. Say, God, superimpose yourself upon me in Jesus' name. Amen and thank God. Listen, what a Powerful worship set by our worship team. I'm so grateful to be a part of Rhoda Church. You know what, if I wasn't the pastor, I still would be a member of this church.

And just let, let us know and we will get back to you and take you through all of the steps necessary to become a part of what we're doing. Listen, I wanted to pause right here and take a moment to challenge you again in the area of giving. You know what the Bible says? He gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater. That means those that sow, they constantly have seed in their hand. There's some people, they're stuck economically because they don't understand the exchange system between heaven and earth. God puts seed in your hand, and listen, you'll never reap harvest in the area where you have not sown. And that's not just monetary, but it is monetary also. So I want to challenge every person listening to us today. I need you right now to stop what you're doing. If you remember, I want you to tithe, and up and above your tithe, I need you to plant a sacrificial seed of $31. Give your tonight and then $31 sacrifice. You know why? Because March is going to be an accelerated month for economic blessing, and we're closing out February today. I need you to get seed in the ground today. Some of you need a breakthrough in the month of March, and I'm telling you right now, March will be your big money month if you move in obedience to month. So I need as many of you that will, that's watching us now, to get that $31 seed in the ground. Listen and watch God do the miraculous for you in the month of March. The ways to give are on the screen. You give 3 ways, praise to God. You can give radachurch.com online, forward slash donate. That's radachurch.com/donate. Or you can text to give. Just use your device and text the word RADA to 77977, and you'll receive the information, and you can give that way. And thirdly, you can give right from your mobile app, Cash App, and just use the handle RADA Church. However you choose to give this morning, your giving is greatly appreciated. Created. So take the time now, every person watching, I need you to get that $31 seed in the ground. As a matter of fact, I just heard the Lord say this. He said, for every person that's listening to me now that moves in obedience and gets that $31 seed in the ground, up and above your tithe— because your tithe is not yours, it belongs to God. He says that he, even in the first 7 days of March, there's going— as you move now, there's going to be a tremendous financial miracle breakthrough for you. Some of you, it needs to catch some things up. Some of you need debt eliminate. Oh my God, I heard that many of you this month are going to receive debt elimination because of your obedience. God can do He could open the heavens. This is a kingdom principle that works, and I need you to tap into the economy now and give unto the Lord. Glory to God. Listen, while you're giving, and before I preach, my son— glory to God— Benjamin Emmanuel Woods, an anointed worshiper prophet. I'm so proud of this boy. He is a sophomore at SMU in Dallas. Uh, he's released two singles singles that you can get on iTunes or Apple Music. Yo, please go out, support Ben, because he's a young man that's doing some great things for the Lord. And let me tell you something, the hand of the Lord is on this boy. Now we're going into a song that he did for us when he was home for Thanksgiving break here with us, and I'm telling you, the power of God was on him and it blessed house, and I know it's going to bless you. So lift your hands, get involved, and open your heart right now and receive the ministry of Ben Woods. Come on, people of God, draw your minds in right now and let God move in the spirit right now in your house, in your living room. He's worthy to be praised today. He's worthy to be praised in the midst of everything we're going through.

He's still worthy. Hallelujah. The song says bow down, bow down and worship Him, worship Him. Oh, worship him. Bow down and worship him. Worship him. Oh, Worship Him.

Oh my God, hallelujah! Praise God for Jesus. You know, I told you Ben is anointed. Please go to thebenwoods.com and download his latest single, Winter. Oh, it's a powerful, powerful song about love, and he is, uh, just an anointed vessel. I love that young man, not just because he's my son, but I love to watch what God is doing in his life. Well, it's teaching time. We're going to get into the word of the Lord. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you today for the opportunity to teach and preach and share the word of the Lord. And I pray, God, today in the name of Jesus, that the word would go out with power and authority. And your word says in Psalm 107:20 that you sent the word and it healed them. So Father, as we teach and preach the word today, I declare I decree and declare that healing will come. You also said that healing and deliverance is the children's bread. So even as we teach the truth, I pray that the bread of healing and deliverance would go forth and that your children will partake. They will receive it and they will receive the victory and the deliverance that they need in their lives. And I give you praise. And I give you glory for it now. God, let the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Spirit superimpose itself upon my mind. Anoint my eyes to see and not see, my ears to hear and not hear. Let me be in tune with the heavenlies, God, and let me share what you will have me to say. And we praise you you now in Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Hallelujah. Where we're continuing our series on 7 Keys to Amazing. Oh my God, it has been— and let me tell you something, guys, this series has been a tremendous blessing to me. I'm gonna tell you something, you know a 7-part sermon, glory to God, that God has allowed us to share. And I'm telling you, it's, it's been absolutely phenomenal. I've been getting, um, a lot of inboxes and emails about how people are being blessed. People are requesting, uh, sermon notes because they're understanding that they need to use these keys to unlock The Amazing Life That God Has Promised Prophetically in 2021. And this message was born out of a word I spoke over the church in October, that this would be the year of amazing. And so we've already covered 6 keys to amazing. Uh, key number 1 was forgetting, key number 2 was patience, key number 3 was vision, key number 4 was faith, Faith. Key number 5 was overcoming crisis. Key number 6, glory to God, my God, was love. And here we are with key number 7, my God. And I'm telling you tonight, uh, today, tonight, whenever you're watching, it's going to be an amazing key that's going to usher us into amazing for real. Today's key is the of the kingdom. Glory to God! The key of the kingdom. Glory! I feel like teaching this. The key of the kingdom. Now let me tell you something, uh, and I'll say this very emphatically. The kingdom of God— listen to me— was the only message— hear me— the only message that Jesus preached. Surprisingly, it's the least preached message today. Hey, everybody finds everything else to preach and teach about, but the kingdom was the only message that Jesus preached, and it's the least preached message today. And you know, I want to really dive into this and give you some clear understanding of the kingdom so you can really learn how to get a good start in operating standing in kingdom law. You know, uh, so many people, they operate from the realm of religion and not the realm of kingdom living and real kingdom law. And that's really where God wants us to be. You know, the kingdom is directly related to the chemistry of the architecture or the behavior or the psychology of the actual King of the Kingdom. I'll say that again, uh, it's directly related to the chemistry that you and I have with the King, or the architecture, the design of the King, of how he's represented in heaven, how the King is represented in earth, and watch this, how he's represented in our life. Life is also connected to his psychology, how he thinks, how he processes information and lives. So we cannot be effective at establishing kingdom culture and advancing the kingdom of God if we don't understand the King himself, his design. Hear me. And we begin to get a chemistry with him that's born in worship. Worship toward the king, in prayer to the king. And then watch this, prayer to the king should always culminate with communication from the king, because prayer is two-way communication. It's not one way. This thing, ladies and gentlemen, is real. It was not brought forth for us just to jump, shout, speak in tongues, spit, blow bubbles, and go to restaurants and eat when we get out of church. This thing was really instituted in the earth so that the kingdom of God— watch this— that innately comes on board in our life when we receive Jesus, hallelujah, can be manifest through us in the earth through our kingdom purpose. So let's get a working definition of this, and then I'm gonna put us— I'm gonna give you some principle, if that's okay, tonight, and then I'm gonna put the text on the end. Can I do that? All right, so I'm gonna give you some principle first, and then I'm gonna put text on the end. Can we do that? All right, so let's get a working definition of kingdom. The word kingdom is from the Greek word basileia. Yes, basileia. And basileia translates into One, kingdom, dominion, or watch this, the king's dominion. Kingdom, kingdom is the root of the word dominion. Dominion means full influence, full authority. Watch this, full impact. So this is the king's impact and influence. That's what Basilia is. It's his authority, it's his rule. It's his majesty. Basilia also deals with his wealth. It deals also with his glory. It's the glory of his throne as manifested through humans. And so I want to introduce to you tonight that the kingdom is not just something fancy that we should be discussing in church and then never actually carry it out. So the kingdom really is lived from, not from earth to heaven, it's lived from heaven to earth. And so we have to get a perspective. In that same chapter we just read out of, in Matthew chapter 6, Jesus gives the model prayer to the disciples when they come to ask him. They say, Lord, teach us how to pray. He said, when you pray, pray in this manner, all right? He said, Our Father who art in heaven, heaven. So the Father is in heaven. Abba, Father, the ruler of the universe. He, he is in heaven. He does not live here. Hallowed be thy name. Holy, separate is his name, is the name of Jesus and all of his redemptive names. Jehovah Jireh, the Lord our provider. Jehovah Makkaddish, the Lord our righteousness. Jehovah Jehovah Tsidkenu, the Lord our sanctifier. Hallowed be his name. Jehovah Nissi, the Lord our banner. Hallowed be his name. Listen to me. Jehovah Shalom, the Lord our peace. Hallowed, separate is his name. Hallowed be his name. Jehovah Rohi, the Lord our shepherd. Hallowed be his name. Jehovah Rapha, the Lord our healer. His name is separate, is distinct, is holy. And in the name of Jesus We find fulfillment in all of those names. I'm going Jehovah Gabor, and I can go on through a lot of names. El Shaddai, El Elyon, you know, we can go through all of those things, but at the end of the day, all of those names are fulfilled in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our King and our Lord. So he says, Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Watch this, this is where I want to get Thy kingdom come. All right. Thy kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. So our prayer should be, God, let heaven superimpose itself on the earth so that the earth can experience the things that are going on in heaven. I'm gonna tell you something. We have often misinterpreted heavenly places for the church service, huh? But even though we can experience glory inside of the church building, heavenly places extend far beyond the walls of the church. Can I submit to you today that heavenly places are born out of of kingdom manifestations that operate through citizens of the kingdom. Oh my God, who are here on earth. Watch this, let me dispel a religious ideal so you can understand how you're supposed to relate to the kingdom. All right, so let me say this. God the King, Jesus Christ, Never. You won't find it in scripture. Never did he call you a Christian. The Bible actually says it's at Antioch they were first called Christians. Hear me good. At Antioch they were first called Christians. The people at Antioch was actually mocking those who were following Christ, and Christian was a derogatory word of mocking. Come on, that's what it was born out of. But God, he says we are— we're no more strangers, but we are citizens. Yeah, he called us citizens. He called us sons. So we're citizens of the kingdom. We're citizens of the family, of the royal family. Glory God. Watch this. Whenever you come into kingdom— listen to me— you don't choose the king, the king chooses you. I'll say that again: you don't choose the king, the king chooses you. And here, here's a, here's a hard reality, ladies and gentlemen. Most people feel like they found God, but I'm telling you right now, you didn't find him, he found you. Okay, here we go. He— Jesus even said to the disciples, you have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, that you will may go forth and bring forth fruit, and your fruit will remain. So I chose you so you can go out and produce more kingdom citizens so we can advance the agenda of God's kingdom on the earth. See, because here's the reality: if you were from, let's say, the Bahamas, all right, or if you were from Jamaica, which is at one point in history was called the Commonwealth of England— it was part of the Commonwealth of England— which means Bahamas, Jamaica, start— these islands started as English colonies, and the King of England would send into the colony a governor, yeah, to make sure that the islands were being governed just like the king desired. Oh, so watch this. God chooses us, fills us with the Holy Spirit, who is the governor of the earth. Yes, he is the representative in the earth to make sure the King's plans— that's why you need to be filled with the Holy Ghost. We talked heavy about that last week. You need to be filled with the Holy Ghost. Come on. So that the governor of the earth can manifest God's plans for kingdom through you. Yeah, I'm still in introduction. I'm gonna get to it, I promise you. But I just want you to get some basic understandings of kingdom. So watch this. When you use words like commonwealth, that means that there's a shared economy. Who? Between the citizens. The king— this is why he chooses you. And some people don't get chosen and granted citizenship citizenship in some Eastern cultures until they're adults, like 30 or 40, because the king has to make sure you're citizen worthy because you got to share in the wealth. He's going to make sure you're provided for. He has a commonwealth that is distributed. Oh my God, opportunities that are opened up among the people to make sure everybody is operating in a realm of productivity. We're from heaven. Our original home is heaven. We might— I'm— I was born in Grady Hospital here in Atlanta, but my original citizenship is from heaven. I'm here on assignment. I'm a citizen of the kingdom of God. Hallelujah! My passport is the blood of Jesus. Glory to God. Hallelujah! That gives me my identity. My— oh my God, my— oh my God, oh my God. And my governor is the Holy Ghost, and I carry out his instructions. And watch this, my set of laws, this is my constitution. The Bible, oh my God, is my constitution. So whenever I want to know what's right or what's wrong, I visit the constitution. Which is the Holy Scripture. So here we go. The Bible says the kingdom of God is within you. So if the King and his kingdom is in me and he's sitting on the throne of my life, yeah, that means anytime I worship, I can enter into the kingdom and access God and the King and get what I need from him. And watch this, I can be influenced by His Majesty. Me to carry out my assignment. So if we are to communicate culture, the culture of heaven, the culture of the kingdom, to the earth, we got to understand first that culture deals with— it's the actual influence of ideas or behaviors on a society. You know, hip-hop is a culture. That's why you have people that wear their hat backwards, pull their pants down, put on a lot of bling. They do those kind of things because they tie into the culture, right? So African Americans have a culture, Caucasians have a culture, and we begin to gravitate to cultural ideas on how we do things. And I'm not saying here that any culture is good or bad or better or worse. What I am saying is in the the world, we operate from the standpoint of how we was influenced in the culture we were raised and reared in. Well, so the same way, what needs to happen— there has to be a systematic teaching first and influence to people who are kingdom citizens so that they will understand how to present the culture so that we can share kingdom culture with the world. Because again, God has not just called us to be just basic church folk who operate in the realm of religion. God actually has called us to create kingdom culture. Oh my God, here. Oh my God. And to influence the culture. So there are a few things we need to remember regarding kingdom culture. And remember, I'm gonna put the text on the end. I don't quote a lot of Bible, but I'm gonna put the actual text to this on the end, because we are to superimpose kingdom on this society in a strong way. Glory to the name of God. So first thing I want you to understand about kingdom, the na— number one, the nature of the kingdom is service. I'll say that again, the nature of the kingdom is service. The word serve is a Greek word doulos. Which literally means bond slave. So as a citizen of the kingdom, you understand that being a part of this culture, I am actually— watch this— a slave to the king. I cannot operate in the full majesty of the king and the fullness of his authority if I don't become a prisoner and a slave to him to serve. And see, here's the attitude, the nature of kingdom citizens and kingdom people. If we're going to present this culture, we cannot present kingdom culture in a way to make those who are outside of the culture feel like we feel like we're better than them because we're in the culture. Because really, we're not. We're actually here to serve them. We're servants of God to serve them. Kingdom ideas, Kingdom innovation. And so the nature of the Kingdom is service to God and service to his creation, and not service to yourself. Not— oh boy— not using your talents and gifts and ideas and intelligence to serve you and your four and no more. God gives you what he gives you so you can serve humanity and every one of you listening to me, let me tell you something. There's something in you, glory be to God. Hushia, brem dekaskite de behesiaia. There's something in you that's greater than anything you ever seen, anything you ever known, and it was given to you to serve society with. Listen, somebody needs you. The world needs you, and if you're really a kingdom citizen, person, you do what you do to raise the human capital of other people. There is a distinctive area of service where every one of us should be serving in. Hallelujah, hallelujah, glory to God. So number 1, the nature of the kingdom is service. Number 2, the— oh my God— the dynamic of the kingdom is that everything— hear me— gets better. Woo! So when the kingdom is progressive, so if I'm a kingdom citizen, things in my life should not be getting worse. If I'm living in kingdom culture, my life should be consistently progressing. I should be edifying constantly. So I should be sitting at the table of the King and constantly being built up and progressing, and things in my life should be getting better. Oh my God, I should be educating— watch this— and being educated consistently. Education should be constantly flowing from the King's lips into my life. I should be sitting in kingdom atmospheres, learning learning what I need to know so that everything can get better. Watch this, so I can get better economically. You should be growing financially. You should be growing in your health. Glory to God. When you're a kingdom citizen, your marriage should be getting better. When you're a kingdom citizen, you should be becoming a better father. You should be becoming a better husband, a better wife. Kingdom people do stay stuck. They're not stagnated. Guess what? Religious people are consistently and constantly stuck. They are never moving. Come on. And religion will never empower you to get better. It only keeps you still. So the dynamic of the kingdom is everything gets better. I dare you, type that on the screen: everything is getting better. Matter of fact, say it like this, say it's getting better all the time. Say it out of your mouth, it's getting better every day. That's what ought to be happening in the kingdom. Your bottom line should be increasing financially more and more 'cause you tied into the King and his principles. Whoo, everything gets better. Year after year, day after day, you should be seeing better, better, better. Ashéba bretseke kabahosya. I don't know who I'm talking to tonight, tonight. But I'm telling you right now, whenever you're watching today, glory to God, it's getting better. Glory to God. If I was at church, I'll tell you, tap 4 people and say, it's getting better, it's getting better, it's getting better. Things are getting better. Why? Because you're a kingdom citizen and you got to choose to operate as a servant. You got to choose to submit yourself not to religion but Basilia, not to being a great member, but being a great kingdom citizen. Glory to God! When— oh, all right, number 3. I gotta move, I gotta move. Number 3: the power of the kingdom is force. Hallelujah! The power of the kingdom is force. We don't take things lying down, and I'm gonna unpack this a lot more later. But I will say this right now: we forcefully— hallelujah— advance the kingdom. We don't ask for what's rightfully ours, we take it. And we take it— watch this— even in the dominion mandate in Genesis 1:26, it tells us to be fruitful, multiply, replenish, subdue— same word— enslave, bring it under the majesty and authority of God, of the influence of God through you. So we forcefully find our space and we take over. See, kingdom citizens move in the realm where they understand, I'm never here, hallelujah, to stay— oh wait— to stay in this present state forever. It's not eternal. Glory to God. God puts you where you are so you could be promoted again, so it can get better. But you ought to— you got to have the mindset that every situation you enter into, every business you start, every job you start working, I'm here to take over. Because your gift is a kingdom gift that's fueled by the anointing of the King. And your mind ought to be, I'm here to take it by force. I'm taking my children by force. They're going to serve God. Hallelujah! They're going to walk with God. Osha. Ha! Glory to God. You got to take everything in your life by force and not let the devil have his way with your stuff. Hey God. Number 4, number 4, number 4: the culture of the kingdom— watch this— is heaven. It's heaven. The culture of the kingdom is heavenly. So we ought to be duplicating the pattern of things in heaven. Paul said that in Corinthians, we should be imitating the pattern of things in heaven. So we should be tapping into a heavenly sphere, a heavenly way of doing things, a mode of operation. Hallelujah! Glory! Shema! B'reishkat ala basa! Well, we ain't doing things in our flesh. See, some of you are operating— you got a mimicking spirit where you operate based on your favorite preacher, and you're watching them preach and you do what they do and you feel like it's going to be effective. Oh my God, because you did what they did. But you— what you got to do, uh-oh, is mimic the Father and his plan for you. You, you should be a direct image of God's design for you. The culture that flows out of you is uniquely you and is uniquely connected to your personality. And at the end of the day, you shouldn't want to be anybody else but what heaven demands of you, but what heaven is requiring of you. That ought to be your utmost— oh my God, I feel Jesus here— desire. Help us, God. Oh my God. All right, let's, let's move, let's move, let's move, let's move. Number 5: the order of the kingdom is structure. Oh boy, you got to have some structure in your life. You got to have some patterns. The Bible says in Corinthians 14, uh, let all things be done decent and in order. Order deals with structure there, according to a pattern. Structure is a pattern, it's a way of doing doing things. Your structure should be rooted in the substratum of excellence. You should desire to do things for God excellently, and you should have an excellent structure in place. You know what I've learned? When the structure is right, you, you ain't even got to have money sometimes. You just throw the structure at it, and the structure will get you through a season that you thought you needed finances for. I'mma just let that marinate for a moment, because some things you need to make sure your structure is solid so you can weather storms that will come up against you as you pursue advancing the kingdom. So inside of the kingdom is order, you know. Even Satan, in the kingdom of Satan, he demands order in his kingdom. Oh my God, He has rank and order in his— I don't have time to teach on that, Lord have mercy. But he, he understands, glory to God, that those that serve him, they have to understand that he's in charge. So with your structure, you got to understand first that Jesus is King and he's in charge of the structure. See, many of you have structured your life with you in charge, but you're not in charge. Jesus is in charge. Hallelujah! Jesus is the ruler. Jesus is the authority. And you got to make up in your mind, I'm gonna do this according to his order, according to his pattern. Again, decent and in order, with structure, with excellence. This is just like a seamstress that sews according to a pattern. They are demanded if they're trying to get the result that that pattern suggests to follow the pattern. If they don't follow the pattern, you'll end up with an arm where the head's supposed to be. And in the body of Christ, we got a lot of retarded, out-of-place, dysfunctional people and things because they're not following the pattern of things in heaven. They have not placed Jesus at the head. Proverbs 3 says it simply. He says, lean not to your own understanding. I know you think you know, all right? I know you think you know, but listen, none of us know it all. And the most powerful position you could ever take is the position of a learner. None of us know it all. I need you to grab this today. We don't know it all. So what you got to do, glory be to God, is follow the patterns of things in heaven and And watch this, lean not to your own understanding because your understanding is fleshly, is carnal. Your intellect is limited. He said, but in all thy ways, ek knowledge, ek knowledge. In other words, come under, become acquiesce, open yourself up to, to the intelligence, to spiritual intelligence that comes out of heaven. Acknowledge God. Open yourself up to him, his way, his pattern, and he shall navigate, direct your path. See, the only guarantee that you're going to get where you need to be in the perfect will of God is that you open yourself up to him and become acquiesce to what he wants. Hallelujah! You can't be out here doing what you want to do come on, man, and doing it the way you want to do it, doing it according to your understanding. One of the most dangerous things in the world is a leader that does not pray. A kingdom leader that doesn't have structure, structure many times is one that doesn't pray till they pray through to structure. Ah, you got to pray through to structure. You got to pray through to revelation until you see the structure. I'm not talking about your religious prayers where you don't engage, where you don't break through. I'm talking about actually breaking through to the glory where the structure opens up and you actually see what God is saying. Come on, Zion! Come on, Zion! Oh my God! Oh my God! You got to break through. Yeah, you got to pray through until you see the structure. I gotta move. I to move. Number 6, glory to God, the anointing of the kingdom is gifts. So when the governor of the Holy Spirit comes into you, he gives you access— watch this— to one spiritual gifts, which there are 9, and we don't have time to dive into them. Word of wisdom, word of knowledge, word of faith, discerning of spirits, Come on, church. Healings, miracles, prophecy. I need you to understand something. Listen, word of wisdom, word of knowledge. You do not have just those gifts. You do not just have the 9 gifts of the Spirit. You also have some gifts that God placed inside of you before he formed you in the mother's belly and knew you. Matter of fact, you're pregnant and God's the daddy. But he gave you talents and abilities to move in giftings outside of the church that will advance his kingdom. Some of you are gifted in the area of education. So you need to be in the education kingdom, sowing your gift into that kingdom, releasing the anointing upon the education kingdom. Kingdom and not just erect the school at your church, but maybe you're anointed to start a school kingdom system, which is a system of schools that overtake schooling as we know it. And somebody out there has that anointing. Some of you are gifted with the anointing for technology. Use it to not just take over the church kingdom, but use it to take over the kingdoms of the Granted, TBN, Word Network, Impact, Daystar, great places. Even the network we're on with YLCTV, great networks. But we have to expand and grow beyond just reaching our demographic, because it's a reality, most of the people that watch TBN, Word Network, Impact, Daystar are already Christians. Matter of fact, the numbers don't lie, 97% of them that watch are already born again. Again, that's in some way they've been introduced to the kingdom. Now, if we're gonna really impact the world in the media kingdom and the technology kingdom, we got to find those people with the gifts to create innovation. Watch this, where we got our own CNN type deal. Hallelujah! That's not just broadcasting Christian news, but broadcasting the world news. Y'all not talking, uh, with the anointing. Well, how about we just take over CNN. Hallelujah! Where the anointing is flowing through the studio. How about we take over— oh God— NBC, ABC, and have our own networks where it's not just preaching and teaching, but it's programming that has an anointing on it. Oh my God, that's not religious but has an anointing on it that's destroying yokes and removing burdens. Burdens. Some of you have that gifting. You got to move in, you got to find where you fit. Some of you have gifting for the political kingdom. Again, the anointing of the kingdom is gifts because we are here to superimpose the kingdom of God on the kingdom of Satan. Let me move, let me move. Number 7: the success of the kingdom is generational dominion, which means we got to multiply, we got to continue to teach others principles of the kingdom of God. Number 8, glokoma siyandela basa. The currency of the kingdom is faith. I'll say that again. The currency of the kingdom is not money, it's faith. Because God provides what we need according to his riches, according to his riches in glory, not according to our bank account. When God gives us a kingdom dream, a kingdom idea, he's not He's not asking us to trust in what we have in the bank. See, what you've done many times, and many of you have not fulfilled the maximum dream or the optimal dream for your life, is because when God gave it to you and you saw it, you start counting your coins. You start counting your partners and people. But if God guides you, he's gonna provide. And when God tells you something, let me tell you something, I know it for a fact. Fact, he's God enough to fund it. If God brings it to your mind, and your kingdom gift is supposed to bring that forth— my God, today the God we serve, he's God enough to fund it. You can't please the king without faith. I don't have time to teach on faith, whole other message, but faith is the currency. Because everything the king will reveal you need to do— because this is big, man. We got to leave legacy for generations. At 51, I live differently than I did at 31. Tell you why. Because I live, uh, really very deliberately in 3 areas. I live, one, on purpose. Everything I do in my life has to be aligned with the purpose, the anointing on my life to advance business, the anointing on my life to help people, the anointing on my life to lead as an apostle and curate leaders and, hallelujah, help people pull out of them what's them. I have to move strategically according to purpose. Secondly, I live according to destiny. I look to the future and I have to have absolute accuracy as to what God has planned for me and where I'm going, because the third realm of living is legacy, is what I leave behind. But my accurate pursuit of purpose and destiny— come on, church— church is what's going to be the— oh my God— the benefactor that manifests real legacy, that leaves inheritance to my children's children's children's children's children. Because at the end of the day, that's what it's about, to leave kingdom legacy for those we impact and influence so they can walk in the majesty of the Father just like you and I. Whoo! I gotta go. Man, whoa, here we go, here we go. Number 9: the strength of the kingdom is unity. Let me tell you something, I celebrate my brothers and sisters. I have no time to disunify with anybody in the kingdom that's doing what God has called them to do. I celebrate with what God is doing through Mark Moore, not just with this network, but what God has done through that young man with the Young Leaders Conference. Having a conference to gather that many people, not just having a meeting where a bunch of people are in the building, but these people are actually leaving with tools. Glory to the name of God! That's equipping them, glory to God, to lead in life. So I celebrate his success and the things that God is doing in his life. I celebrate my friends that I, that I see on Instagram doing great things in their churches, like the Murrays, Roderick and Anthony Anthony. I celebrate these people. I, I'm not in competition with anybody. Celebrate Apostle Jerry Howard. I celebrate Apostle Brandon Cornelius. I celebrate T.D. Jakes. I'm glad that these people are successful because you know what? We all need each other because we're all sick and significant key to advancing the kingdom. Let me give you a revelation. Let me drop this nugget on you, and you, you can keep— yeah, you might want to scroll out of this because a lot of people gonna find themselves right here. Because the kingdom lacks strength because we lack unity. The Jesus— in speaking of Satan, he said a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Read that text again. Jesus is talking about the devil and his— the kingdom of Satan. So if the devil doesn't tolerate division in his kingdom, he don't die, you and I, but he won't tolerate division among his cohorts because he understands where there's unity, there's strength. Let me tell you something, we got to get rid of the isms in the body of Christ. Isms, I-S-M, ignorance that separates members. I mean, we, we separate over things that really, glory to the name of God, we need to just lay it to rest and use some wisdom on how we deal with one another. Let me tell you something, we— I need you, you need me, because here we go. Jesus said to Peter, he said, look, I give you the keys to the kingdom. Come on, this is why we need one another. Here's a problem: I have a key that you don't have. You have a key that I don't have. Here's the problem: we're not on the same key ring. Oh boy. And when I go to unlock something I need to unlock, I can't unlock it because you're over here building your own kingdom. Or when you go to unlock something you need me for, I'm not on the key ring because I'm over here. So what we got to do is make sure we get on the same key keyring. So when I come up against a door that— oh my God— that only, glory to the name of God, you can lock, I can just go to that key. Because there's a key in you that I don't have, and there's a key in me that you don't have. But we need each other so we can start unlocking things in the world. Oh my God. And creating amazing results because we got on the keyring. Glory to God. Oh, I gotta get out of here, man. I gotta go, I gotta go, I gotta go. Number 10, and then I'm gonna read the text. I'm 10. The access to the kingdom— watch this— is understanding mysteries. And every— let me say this to my apostle friends— every apostle has the charge to stay in the face of God, because apostles have plenipotentiary status. The word apostle is from the Greek word apostolos, sent one, a special messenger who is sent by God. By God. He can't call himself. And there's too many apostles out here who have called themselves. They don't have the pressure, the pain pain, the burden, and they have not birthed the office out. Oh my God, so that they can be effective in it. Listen to me, every apostle comes to the planet with plenipotentiary status. Plenipotentiary means that an apostle brokers gifts on the inside of him and others. He operates in 9 gifts of the Spirit. He can touch the, the evangelist, the pastor, the the prophet, and the apostle. He operates in and out of those offices. But plenipotentiary also deals with the idea, hallelujah, that he can unlock mysteries. He's a revelator. So his relationship with God should be tight enough that mysteries— oh my God, I've been working on this COVID mystery since it happened in last 2020. I'm— listen, Listen, and even I had to bear the burden and get it so that I can understand how to unlock this thing. And you know what? Since I've grabbed these keys, I've been seeing more and more people who had it bow, this thing bow at the name of Jesus. Because at the end of the day, we got to understand the mystery. While they're trying to create a vaccine, we need to unlock the mystery. Ah, that's kingdom, man. See, I know y'all waiting on the vaccine. Seen. I, I want the key, Shabbaiah, so that we can declare hallelujah because we're in the kingdom. We'll never get it because we're under the banner of Jehovah Nissi and the blood of Jesus runs through our veins. Come on, man. Okay, I, I ain't got time, I ain't got time. I got to read the text. Yeah, I got to read the text. All right, so you got to understand, this is This is why you need apostles. You can't disdain this gift. The old church said all the apostles was dead. But when he descended, he also ascended, and he gave gifts to men. And he gave some apostles, hallelujah. I ain't even gonna read the rest, but he gave some apostles. Two things there. One, everybody ain't an apostle. Two, everybody can't be led by an apostle, glory to the name of God, in a local setting, Because the apostle's nature is aggressive, and that apostle is going to get down in there and pull out of you who you are. Yeah, shabat de kosia. So you need— we need mysteries unlocked. That's why we need prophets and apostles who really can hear and see to unlock the mysteries of heaven and the mysteries of the kingdom, because this gives us access. We need combinations to teach people how to walk in the realm of the kingdom at all times so that the kingdom exudes out of them. Oh my God. And there's a hegemony that comes out of them that when people enter into their space, they also enter into the kingdom because everything about them and what they're doing is kingdom-related. Not churchy, not church-related, but kingdom. Glory to God, I gotta move. So here we go, and I'm closing with this. Matthew 11 and 12: And from the days of John the Baptist until now, the kingdom— the basileia, remember the basileia in Greek, the king's dominion, the king's influence, the king's majesty and authority suffers violence. Oh my God. And the violent take it by force. So the enemy hates the kingdom. The enemy hates this kind of teaching because he wants people to remain bound, to remain imprisoned to religion, to remain imprisoned to an antiquated way of thinking concerning the And he violently wars in the mind to cause people to block out teaching that will lead us into real kingdom principle. Now watch this. He says when we understand that these attacks are real, he said we must become violent. And this is not to start a revolution and with bullets and guns and go and start taking businesses and strong-arming people to pay us tax on their business. That's crazy. No, that's not what we're called to do. We're called— listen to me— to violently, in worship, in prayer, in whoo, in spiritual warfare, and watch this, in our acts of creating kingdom culture. We got to go out and start businesses. We got to go out, glory to God, and sow seed in the medical kingdom. Again, you will never reap a a harvest in a kingdom where you have not sown. So if you want to reap a harvest in medicine, we got to find those anointed kingdom doctors and sow them in the kingdom so we can start hospitals. Why is it that charismatics and Pentecostals and the full gospel ones— listen to me— don't have hospitals? You Catholics got a hospital, Methodists got a hospital, Baptists got hospital. Come on, church! But those of us that carry the riches of God's anointing, we need hospitals. Glory to God! I'm working on something right now. I talked to one of my sons last week, a research center where we have anointed PhDs and scientists who research cures. We need our own version of the CDC where we have scientists and Doctors, oh shi, whoa, inside of this facility working day and night under the anointing of God. Not just their science in books, but they're unlocking the mystery. Oh God, on how to get rid of cancer for good, or how to get rid of AIDS for good. Oh my God, on how to get rid of COVID-19, COVID-20, whatever it is, for good. So we need to sow in the fields different kingdoms, different anointings, so we can reap a harvest. So this is how we get We got to take an introspective of who we are, go into the world and begin to sow seed in these kingdoms. Whoo! Whoo! God doesn't really want you employed. He wants you deployed. Glory to God. Glory be to God. God wants you deployed into the world operating under the anointing of your kingdom gift so you can subdue the world. The world and do it under the anointing. We can't, we can't reap a harvest in entertainment unless we sow some anointed actors, producers, writers. Yeah, we got people like Tyler Perry and Bishop Jakes and others who have tapped into it, but we need more. Glory to God! Some of you have that same anointing. Don't let them corner the market. You got that gift, do it. Glory to God! Create your sitcom, write your movie. Glory God and let the anointing be on it so that when people watch it, yokes are destroyed, burdens are removed. Glory to God. We need anointed people. As you know what, I thank God— some of y'all ain't going to like this, religious mind going to get real mad at me right now— I thank God for Fantasia. Fantasia is anointed. And just because she don't do what she do in church, leave that woman alone. I'm gonna tell you why. Because Fantasia takes the anointing on her voice, and people that will never come hear her sing at church will hear her sing in arenas and concerts, and she gives them what they came for. And then after, she prays for them, she ministers to them, because she's a saved woman with anointing that's taking the anointing that's on her into that kingdom. See, the religious mind ain't gonna like that, but that's what's happening. And we got to learn how to be— to cross-pollinate into other cultures so we can take over and stop being religious. He said, so how do we deal with this violence? 3 ways. We use force. Against the enemy. Number one, we rebuke him. We got to open our mouth and in the name of Jesus we got to declare, you be rebuked. Rebuke means to bring correction and declare you're out of order and we put you in your place. That kingdom belongs to us, that territory belongs to us, that— oh, that money, that economy belongs to us. And in the name of Jesus, we declare It's ours and you gotta let it go. So we rebuke him. Number 2, I gotta get out of here, man. Number 2, we displace him. Listen, we bring apostolic and prophetic rank in place and into an atmosphere, and we begin— watch this— to release people who are connected to our prophetic prophetic and apostolic anointing. We stir the gifts that are in them. Oh my God. And we empower them to go forth and be deployed into the world. Watch this. This even means— this is why apostles need to be generals of wealth. You can't be a broke apostle. You got to figure out how to get some money. You got to figure out how to invest. You got to figure out how to buy real estate. You got to invest in Bitcoin. Invest in forex. You need some money. Run around here talking about your apostolic and you got holy hands and empty pockets. It's ridiculous. It's not the will of God. Let me tell you something. God wants us to empower people. You know what? We need to be sending people into the world to do business, to do business. Jesus said, occupy till I come. The word occupy means do business. Replace those that are not like me. Ah, Warren Buffett shouldn't be the richest man. Hallelujah! Had the largest investment portfolio in the world. That should be a kingdom man with that. Glory to God! Somebody listen, Jeff Bezos ain't got no market cornered on selling stuff online. Some of you need to just put the anointing on e-commerce. He don't have a— there's no patent, there's no intellectual property to what he does. You just need to take the kingdom anointing you have and become an e-commerce guru. Come on, we gotta take over and replace heathens so that they can see the light of God. Oh, have mercy, have mercy. We got to demote the devil. And move them out. And I'm not calling these people devils. I'm saying that spirit, because again, apostles are— they have gubernatorial authority in addition to their plenipotentiary status. They're governmental, they're selected, elected, and protected by God. And so they have stratospheric authority. Watch this, to— apostles should be able to see territories, their need, and match people and see the gifts and help people understand how to match their gifts with those regions. Oh, I'm teaching too deep right now. Let me leave that alone. Let me leave that alone. Oh, listen. Oh God, oh God, we gotta demote him. We gotta replace. So we rebuke him, we displace him, and thirdly, again, yes, we replace him. We replace him. We receive the systematic teaching. Hallelujah, hallelujah. See, watch this. We teach culture. This is how we replace him. We teach culture continually. I, I just was saying all this. So again, we rebuke him, we displace him by creating an atmosphere in the people and in mindset, and then we replace him, glory to God, by submission to systematic teaching. I'm closing my Bible. Ah, that offers us a spermatic seed that's sown into the world and into our lives that grows into an experience. See, the only way we can raise up people and people will be empowered— whoo! To move in this dimension of kingdom culture and take it by force is we gotta start speaking spermatic words in the atmosphere and into the people that grow into experience. And today, in the name of Jesus, I speak a spermatic word into your life, and I decree and declare that this word I'm speaking now, I dare you listen Lift your hands right where you are. It's going to grow into an experience and you will never be the same again in the name of Jesus. I decree and declare that innovation, innovation and ideas, you will be creative because the Holy Spirit lives in you and the Holy Spirit is a creator. I thank you for wealth and riches that will flow into your life. I decree and declare that mysteries, hallelujah, will be unlocked for you, that you will have a clear path to your purpose and where God is taking you. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Oh my God, listen, my time is gone, guys. I love y'all with the love of the Lord. Take this word and live it, eat it, replay it over and over again. Get the cake. This is, this is so basic. Matter of fact, I think March series is gonna be about the kingdom because I could have unpacked— I'm gonna pray about it. If the Lord releases me, the whole month of March will be kingdom. Listen, get your seed in the ground. Sow into this truth, sow into this word, up and above your tithe, $31. Remember the The Lord said this month he's going to bring a spirit of acceleration, and March will be your money month. You will break through in a big way. Get the seed in the ground. The ways to give are on the screen. I love you guys. Y'all be blessed. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. And remember, your decisions set you up for dominion. Peace.
