Radah Mindset Live with Apostle's Mike Woods & Brandon Cornelius | 28 October 2025

Apostle Mike Woods and Apostle Brandon Cornelius teach worship as a weapon in spiritual warfare, defining it as a trading system that transforms believers and gives authority over demons. They cite biblical examples like Jehoshaphat and Jericho where worship preceded victory, and share testimonies of worship stopping storms and tornadoes.

But tonight, I believe this is going to be a kingdom encounter because we're going to dive into what I believe, family, one of the most important dynamics of the spiritual realm which is worship and warfare. And I couldn't think of a better person to join me tonight to talk about this subject than my brother, my friend, and my dear son, Apostle Brandon Cornelius. And so we're excited tonight, glory to God, about Apostle being here. Apostle, we love you, man, and welcome tonight, glory to God, to the Radha Mindset. We're glad you're here, man. Glory to God. Good to see your face, sir.
Hey sir, how you doing? You doing all right?
I'm doing great, I'm doing great. Yes sir. Yeah, I believe you are a true apostolic voice to this generation, and how busy you stay, you know, God opens doors for those that have something to say. Glory to God. So I'm so grateful to see what God is doing with your life, man. How you feeling tonight, man? How you feeling? You feel good in your mind, your spirit, your body? You excited about coming to Atlanta this weekend?
Oh yeah, I'm very excited. I feel good. Just got off the road actually, coming from Dallas. Uh, we had 3 powerful services out there in Dallas, man. And, uh, yeah, I feel good. I'm ready to get out to Atlanta to be with you, to be with your church, to be with just family, you know.
Yes sir.
Yes sir.
Yeah, we're, we're excited to receive you, man, and we're looking forward to it. Uh, I think Um, I said this earlier today in our 5 o'clock prayer, I think the, uh, the temperament of this meeting is a little different than meetings we've had before just because of the subject matter, uh, we're going to be tackling in this meeting. And, um, you know, we got a lot of people that had trips planned, they out of town, uh, but you know, the registrations have been phenomenal because people are interested in this subject. So I'm just looking for God to just do something supernatural and great Man, so let's get into this. Let's start here, Apostle. So let's go ahead and just jump in this, man. When we talk about worship and warfare, I mean, really, what are we talking about? Because so many believers, you know, they view worship as just a song, a certain sound, a segment that happens during the Sunday morning experience. But I believe, and I believe you believe too, that is far more than that. So I want to start with this, Apostle. Share with us tonight how you define the connection between worship and spiritual warfare, and how does it play a significant role in how we defeat the devil as far as our worship life. Talk to us a little bit about that, sir.
Oh man. That's a whole load of question, but yes sir. Um, worship itself is a trading system.
Ha!
So what we do is we— when we— you become what you worship. So the more you worship, you start becoming like the very god or the very, uh, being that you worship, entity that you worship, uh, even You know, worship is also an altar. So the more you trade on the altar, you get the results of the altar that you service as a priest. The Lord is also priestly. It's a— it's a matter of fact, worship is not an option for priests. Worship, service unto the God that you serve, the God that you call your God, the God that you call your Lord. Uh, you, you as a priest service him. And so when you're talking about, uh, worship and warfare, you're talking about trading images to where you look more like the God that you serve. You have more authority over, uh, gods that portray to be gods, but they're not real gods. And so, uh, how do we do— how do we defeat idolatry? You defeat idolatry by worshiping the real God.
Yeah, hallelujah!
So a lot of people open up their hearts to falsehood, false gods, uh, false things in the earth realm because they have a dimension of idolatry and don't even know it because they fail to actually worship the real God. Um, worship is also obedience. It talks about being a living sacrifice. Uh, holy and acceptable unto the Lord. Uh, it talks about that being our reasonable service. What people don't realize, that word reasonable service means our intelligent worship.
Yes, my God, thank you.
Having obedience to being a living sacrifice in the realm of earth is intelligent worship in the realm of heaven. So you talk about worship being a technology that strips demonic forces from, uh, from the attacks, you know, from having that advantage over you.
Why?
Because worship is an ascension. And so what happens is when we worship him, we ascend above the reality of where devils try to keep us in a low place.
Come on.
Yes, sir. So yes, sir, that's good.
That's powerful, man. That's powerful. Because so would you say, with that said, Because again, worship is a lifestyle. One of the things that you just said was so profound, that one, worship is an altar and it is not optional for priests, it's not optional for the believer. So would you agree that worship is really warfare God's way? Is that— that's the way he wants us to work the war, and, and it'll take a lot of the sweat out of warfare if we really tap into worship the way you just said. Man, that's powerful. That's so powerful. Glory to God. All right, so let's go a little deeper.
Yes, sir.
So based on what you said, worship then changes culture, it changes climate, it, it shifts the dimensions and atmospheres of a believer's life. So What would you say the thing that— because we got a lot of believers who really don't understand these systems that you just talked about. What do you think the failure is that a lot of believers don't know really what you just said, man? Because most people go to church, they go through the motion, but then the worship never really works and manifests to create a different kind of culture yes— and climate in their life. What would be the failure that has caused that to be so widespread in the body of Christ? I know you travel a lot, and God has blessed me to be able to go all over the world with the gospel as well. And there are places we go that don't carry the climate and culture that we carry, and it makes a lot of times what we do harder, even when we go into those spaces. So What's the reasoning? What would you say the reasoning is behind this not being a common thing among believers?
Hmm, uh, I would say several things. Uh, number one, uh, lack of humility. Because it, uh, one of the aspects of the word worship means to tear down the walls. And so a lot of times as believers, we want to be in control of everything, because once you tear down the wall, it means that you have nothing to lean on to keep you up. So now you have no choice but to fall to either your knees or your face, which means worship is, uh, the perspective of where we are focusing who— on the one who's in front of us. This is why it's called face to face. So when we focus on the one who's in front of us, he protects what's behind us. This is why the Bible calls the glory our rearward guard. So the more we're going to worship, the more glory manifests, the more he can protect us from unseen, uh, unseen enemies, you know.
Yes, sir.
Uh, it's a— I believe it's a lack of humility, one, because again, we want to be in control. Because once we truly worship— and you and I know this because you taught me this, you taught me this culture, um— once we go deep into worship, we are no longer in control. I mean, no longer. Come on, control. We are totally, uh, pressed into God and not focus on anything else. And so many believers, it's so far with their singing and whatever, and they want come out of that because they want to— they want control, you know, uh, because once God takes over, he starts taking you into his realms and you're not in control. He's the one leading you in these different realms. Um, yeah, another aspect, uh, I, I believe it's a lack of teaching. A lack of teaching.
Yeah, yeah.
I believe people don't know how to worship. They have not been taught how to worship. Why? Because leaders don't know how to worship.
Come on, come on.
The people won't know how to worship.
Come on.
Um, and the last thing I would say, um, truly a lack of real relationship with God, man. That's lack of intimacy. Because, because anybody can praise.
Yeah, come on.
Breath, you can praise.
Yes, sir.
When you turn on that, that that, that worship technology. That's a whole nother aspect of going into deeper realms with him, and it's personal.
Yes, sir.
A lot of people don't— they don't have— they don't spend that time with the Lord to go deep into those bed chambers with God.
So come on, good stuff. Good God. So, so, so I hope y'all listening, right? One of the main issues is lack of humility. Because I just want to recount what Apostle said. So you really can't authentically worship if you are arrogant, if you operate in pride, if you really don't believe you need God. All right, worship says, God, I need you. Worship says, I can't breathe without you. Worship says, I place your presence and your glory as a priority in my life over everything else. and that will cause you to worship. But here's another key. He said it's not taught, which is so true. And this is a problem in our churches. We don't teach worship as a priority. Matter of fact, what most churches do, they fall in love with the process of worship and never really worship Jesus, because worship is toward God. You can fall in love with song selection, Yes, you can fall in love with how the strings on the keyboard sound and never really worship because you thought the object of worship was the process. Yes, the object of worship is God. So at the end of the day, what I'm saying is worship comes from your heart. Just recapping what Apostle said, it comes from your heart, and you got to be taught heart worship, and you got to be in a culture that teaches that. And I want to pause right here to say It was about 1,600 of you watch— 1,650 of you watching right now. And if you're in a church where all you're doing is singing, lifting your hands, but you're not really being taught the effectiveness of worship, you need to begin to question your location. I mean, at the end of the day, I'm not telling you to leave anywhere, but what I am saying, you need to be in a place, or at least you need to have enough intelligence to— if you want to stay there, to make sure you're getting in cultures where you're learning how to worship for real.
Yes.
And one opportunity to do that is going to be this weekend. So if you have not already registered for this meeting, we start Thursday night and we're going all the way through Sunday, and we're going to be tackling this subject of worship and warfare, and you're going to leave with tools Yes, on how to activate this in your life every single day so you'll be better. So make sure you're in the building. All right, Apostle, let's, let's move, man. So here's another good question for you. So throughout the scripture, right, worship always precedes victory, right? So we, we read how Jehoshaphat sent the worshipers.
Yes, sir.
All the Silas worship until an earthquake came. Yes, yeah, Joshua was worshiping. They, when they went around the walls of Jericho, brought the walls down. So when we think about those examples and other biblical examples, and if you have any you want to share, what does this say to us about heaven's order when it comes to victory in our life, um, when we're imitating the things in heaven, when it comes down to prioritizing worship in battle? Yeah, what does the word— just further elaborate on the word and how it causes us and commands us even to take up a posture of worship.
Oh man, that's good. Uh, that, that's, you know, he was talking about send Judah first. Yeah, you know, um, the, the reason He— see, the Lord, his kingdom is so different from our natural way of doing things. Not by might, not by power, but by my spirit. So he's telling you the whole design is from my spirit. And so what happens is we try to fight our battles in our own strength and our own power.
Come on.
God is saying no, there's a higher reality than what you could do on your own called my spirit.
Yes, sir.
And so since it's spiritual, the Bible said— the Bible said the things that are spiritual got to be spiritually discerned. And so when, when we as believers worship instead of trying to fight in our own strength, we are, uh— and, and another thing, I, I used to love you talk about the arm of the flesh, because the arm of the flesh would be the dependency on our own natural abilities. And yes, sir, when we depend on what spirit over leaning on the arm of the flesh, it's confusing because we're not used to that reality. Because one of the words called truth, it means God's reality. And so it's God's reality over our own reality. And so, yes, sir, in Judah first, or when we worship him above worry, above stress, above trying to take care of these things on our own, we are sending confusion in and into the demonic realm. We're sending confusion even into our own mental state. And this is why we got to get our minds renewed, because if they're not renewed, then we'll be just as confused as the demonic realm. But God is trying to raise our mentalities and our awareness into his reality so that confusion to the, to the, uh, evil camp can be, you know, it could be stirred there and not, not in our own thinking. And so it's a, it's a shift of realities when we decide to worship above trying to handle things on our own. It shifts our realities to continue to lean on the realm of his spirit over our own things. So yeah, so the more we go after God and worship, it sends confusion to the dark realm.
Yes sir. There's a— man, that's so good. You, you'd really just unlock something because— and for those of you that are watching, I dare you just to put your hand in your belly right now because something just got unlocked concerning Omancia, concerning worship in you. The sound of worship, the very act of heart worship, glory to God, it precedes victory for real. Yes. Did you hear what the man of God just said? Reality is every time you worship, you confuse the enemy, and he realizes immediately that he ain't supposed to be messing with you anyway.
Come on.
Glory to God. And he— and this is the resistance that James was talking about. When you resist the devil, he'll flee from you. Not actually having a fight with him, but actually going after your God that defeats him every time and causing God to fight. This, this is powerful, man. So Apostle, just for the people's sake, because I believe that somebody need to hear this, can you share time in your own life, man, where that has been an example for you, where you have had to go up in worship and you came out on the other side victorious because of that worship? Because I believe somebody tonight needs to hear, uh, the real life example, the real life word picture of what that looks like, uh, when we actually walk that out. So can you just share a time? And because you're an apostle, so I know you got plenty testimonies of how worship has won battles for you.
Uh, yes, well, uh, I got plenty. Like you say. Yes, sir. Um, I'll just tell you this. Um, when I was— when I used to be the coach at East Central Community College.
Yes, sir. Uh, at that—
at that time, uh, that was a— that was a terrible storm coming through. That was a— oh yeah, I think it was like a— it wasn't a tornado. They were saying it was like hurricane type, uh, you know, after effects or something. But it was— it was a terrible storm. I mean, everybody panicking. They were shutting down the school, everything. And, uh, I used to be over the, the men's coaching dorm. And, and, uh, and so when I was walking toward the dorm, the clouds came. I mean, it was like scary winds, clouds came, man. I went, I went into the dorm, I went into my room, and it was a couple of the guys, players, in the lobby, which is right next to my room. Yes, man. Cut on, I cut on the worship music. And I went into worship. Yes, I went into prayer and I went into worship. And all of a sudden, you know, just, you know, after it, I, I just sensed something broke in the spirit. And, uh, went outside, got— went out of my room, looked outside and looked out. The, the sky was clear. My God, man, that thing didn't pass over. They were like, yeah, this is what they said. They said, yeah, coach. Your worship music sent it on.
I love it.
See, I— so they're thinking it was the worship music, but it was the reality of who I am as a new creation. Yes, anything to the Lord. And it penetrated, it penetrated the earthly realm and sent back forces that tried to send the storm.
So yeah, my God, that's so good. So, so I wanted you to do that because that affirms this revelation. That this actually works.
Yes.
You know, that was the time when I was in Jackson. I'll just share this really quick. That's because that's powerful right there, Apostle. Very similar. I was actually going into a Verizon store. I could see the tornadoes. I was on County Line Road at a Verizon store. I could see the tornadoes moving.
Yeah.
And, and I began to pray because it was coming toward— people were hiding, getting under stuff, taking shelter. And my faith's so crazy, I know that if God hears me, this tornado has to dissipate. So I stopped, got out my car, stopped in my tracks before I went in the store, lifted my hands right there and began to glorify God in the middle of this storm. Winds are blowing, it's raining. 2 minutes top. Yes, the wind stopped blowing, the tornado totally disappeared, and everything went back to normal. That victory could have— that probably saved so many lives and so many businesses. Just that one moment of worship that pushed that tornado out of business immediately. God took his hand and shut it down because one of his sons was worshiping him.
Yes, sir. Because angels are attracted to worship.
Ah, yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Attracted to worship. So when we worship, we get angelic activity. So yes, sir. And, and which also tells me that worship is a, is a realm of intercession.
Yes, sir. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.
Yes. Yeah, that, that's probably— and when you said it, something just hit me, because when we understand that principle, that worship actually— oh my God— is a new dimension, it's a new realm, it's a place of intercession that releases heaven and the angels Yes, we can watch this worship to be entertainment, because when it becomes entertainment, we lose the authority that you're talking about.
Yeah.
So again, so many people are entertained because people can sing, because, yeah, or they sound good, or they're popular. So they get entertained and they think, okay, we just worshiped. Or go to church and they sing 2 fast and 3 slow songs. Oh, we worship today. Yeah, but that, that's not worship if it doesn't culminate with an encounter. Come on, uh, the heavenly interference. So here's a question for you then, Apostle. How do we as leaders, how do we guard against worship becoming entertainment and restore the purity— that's good— of worship in the church? How? And because there may be some leaders listening that needs to hear this, how do we restore the purity, yeah, of worship in the body of Christ and guard ourselves from buying into the entertainment that's happening? Because, you know, most of major ministries got a celebrity worship leader that they pay $100,000 at least a year to do worship. You know, we, we have these sets called worship sets and we let them entertain. And at the end of that though, there's no glory. How do we safeguard against that, Apostle?
We, we have to keep the revelation of Jesus at the forefront.
I love it.
It's the revelation of Jesus, because at the end of the day, uh, if we make it about the people, we'll lose the authenticity of what worship can produce.
Yes, yes, yes.
When we keep it on the Lamb who was slain, when we keep it on the one that sits on the throne, because if you even read in Revelation how when he started opening up the scrolls, worship started happening. I'm talking about the, the living creatures were bowing, you know. So all the— all of heaven was responding to the Lamb that was slain. Why? Because they had— because him opening up the scrolls was another dimension of revelation. And so the more revelation we get of him, the more our worship will become pure.
I love it. That's good stuff.
We lose the revelation of him, we lose the purity I worship.
I love it. That's good stuff. So with that said, this is a good segue into transition about culture then. So in our, in our church culture, we have to make sure that Jesus is the center of the culture. That's what you just said. So not the man, not, not the man, no matter how popular he is. Not the worship leader, know how popular that person is. So when we do this worship goes beyond just being this event. Yes, it is. That's something we just expect to happen when we get to church. Yeah, it actually becomes a real lifestyle that people live to please Jesus every single day. So if you were speaking directly to a pastor, let's say one of your sons that's a leader, and you were saying— you were trying to teach them, because it may be a pastor watching that needs this, man. Um, and you were trying to teach them, you know, how to cultivate a culture of worship, how to keep Jesus at the center, what will be your chief advice to that son or daughter who is leading a church who needs to cultivate a culture that's Jesus-centered, where the people are passionately falling in love with God and not him or her?
I would say number one, um, don't, don't become a people pleaser yourself, because the more that leaders become people pleasers, now they're trying to appease what the people want and not what the Lord wants in their services.
Oh, that's good.
So this is what happens when there are two fast songs and three slow songs, because they're trying to appease the time of people.
Yes, sir.
I tell people all the time, it takes time to get out of time. So if you're not taking time to get out of time, you're not getting out of time. You're still in the dimension of time, which means you haven't went anywhere in the realms of God. You're still in the outer court trying to worship God, and you haven't went into the Holy of Holies with him. You haven't went deep enough to, uh, experience that face-to-face with him that you need to, you know. Um, I'll also tell, tell that person, you know, get a revelation of it, because, because without revelation you can't worship what's not real. Cannot worship what's not revealed. So you need to get in that word, and you need to start seeing Jesus through the images of the word. And the more you start seeing him through that word and getting a revelation who he is through that word, now you can channel the revelation of him into worship.
Yes.
What I— again, I would say this: the leader needs to become a worshiper. A worshiper must become— a leader has to demonstrate what a worshiper looks like as he teaches, and he must demonstrate it too.
So, uh, amen.
Just, you know, just humble yourself and, uh, don't try to appease people. Get a revelation of the Lord through the word and become a worshiper yourself and, uh, praise God into that dynamics. And, and, uh, and, you know, keep the people focused on that revelation that they have of him. And, um, yeah, because if it's about him, it'll never be about them. So, yes sir, what we need.
Yes sir, I love it, I love it. That's good stuff, man. So I hope y'all heard that. I know there are leaders for sure on here. I know there are senior leaders on here. This is how you cultivate that. Again, you have to become a worshiper yourself. The foundation of everything Apostle just said is you become— worship become a lifestyle for you. And you can't fake it really on Sunday. You have to be a worshiper every day. It has to be a part of your everyday life. And when you get to the house of God worship, that lifestyle just penetrates that. And then I love another thing Apostle just said. I want y'all to grab this: it takes time to get out of time. But those of you that love complaining about long worship services, long church, listen, it— you gotta graduate from your carnal mind, from chronos, to get into eternity, which is kairos. And worship has a way of tapping you into a realm where you don't even realize you were there for 4 hours. Yes, if it's real worship. Now, if it ain't real worship and real power, you gonna feel that in your flesh.
All right, glory to God.
All right, so Apostle, somebody— and I'm gonna give opportunity for this— if y'all have questions, just drop them in the comments. Somebody asked a question, uh, Michaela Rushing. She asked a question, Apostle, can you explain worshiping through faith versus worshiping through the flesh. So can you, can you shed some light on that for—
well, I mean, everything we do is by faith. I mean, we can't, we can't even live this lifestyle by faith. Said we walk by faith, not by sight. So, uh, the reason we got to have faith to do it is because God is an unseen God. But when we, when we by faith worship him, or by faith pray, or by faith do things, uh, to encounter him, it makes what's unseen tangible. It makes what's unseen a reality. Uh, yes, you talk about doing things through the flesh, it just, it just depends. It depends on where is your focus. Is it on entertaining people? Is it on trying to impress people? Is it on performance?
Come on, sir.
It's the posture. You know how Jesus says, these people, you know, uh, they, they worship me with their lips but their hearts are far from me?
Yes.
You know, it's, it's the— it's where is your focus when you are worshiping? You know, you're worshiping by faith, you're focusing on him, you know, you're believing that he is real, you're believing, you got a revelation of that reality, and you're going after him through that revelation. But yes, people, people who don't focus on him and their hearts are far from him, you know, they're singing but ain't no connection.
No connection.
Yes, that's worshiping, uh, by flesh when you're singing but there's no connection with God.
So that's so good. I hope that answered your— yeah, it was clear, Michaela. I hope you got it. Glory to the name of God. All right, Apostle, let's, let's keep moving, man. Um, so But those that are watching tonight that might be battling with depression, confusion, heaviness, sickness in their body— I mean, constant pain, constant issues— what are some practical ways, Apostle, that they could use to overcome, you know, that kind of warfare, mental battles, you know, people battling in their mind, battling confusion, battling depression, again battling sickness and disease. What are some practical things they could do that they could take away from this conversation tonight and start practicing tonight, or as early as tomorrow, to shift the trajectory of how they feel in their body, how they feel in their mental, uh, to break cycles of depression? What's some things they can do worship-wise to create— begin to create some habits to cause those things to leave their life forever?
Well, number one, the number one worship tool would be, uh, becoming, um, a partner with God's word. Because this is how Jesus defeated the devil, you know. He defeated Satan through the wielding of the spirit. And so, you know, the devil was like, hey, you— he said, man, he said, you worship me I'm gonna give you all these kingdoms. Yes, sir. With the sword of the word. And don't tempt the Lord thy God. He said him alone we worship.
Yes, sir.
So, uh, the number one practical, um, the practical tool would be becoming skilled, skillful with using the word. Uh, the more we, uh, use his word through our— through, through the voice, uh, angels get— they excel in strength. So it's the word. I'm telling you, the word is the very sword that cuts through warfare. It's the word. Um, yes sir, yes sir. Go ahead, Apostle.
I mean, I was just about to agree with you. That's it right there, man. Because worship isn't a re— isn't a reaction to emotion. Worship is alignment with truth.
With truth.
Because you worship in spirit and in truth.
Yes, sir.
Worship in truth. If you don't know the truth, you got to spend time in the word of God and align yourself with that daily and worship God for what he already promised, what he already said he was going to do. Yeah, listen, you know why? Because when you worship based on what you know to be true in the word, it immediately announces to your depression It announces to your sickness and disease, your mental battles. It announces to your financial problems who's in charge. Yes, it lets everything you dealing with know God is in charge of this situation and it has to line up with the word of God. Yes, that's so, that's so good.
Get in it, find scriptures on your situation and sing that to the Lord.
Hallelujah!
Reminding him of his promises through the the word.
Yes, sir.
Glory to God.
All right, Apostle, so we, we're moving quickly to a close here, man. I'm having so much fun with you tonight. Um, listen, again, if you're here and you got questions for Apostle— glory to the name of God— please write your— whether you're on YouTube or any of the 3 Facebook pages, please, uh, post your comments so that we can address your questions. Glory to the name of God. Listen, So Apostle, let's, let's talk about apostolic worship and, and territorial dominion, and let's really just get some prophetic insight on what this looks like for us, uh, who are graced. Because it ain't no, you know, real glamour. We're graced to lead apostolic people. You know, when you're really apostolic, there's no glamour that's connected to it, you know. The, the glamorous celebrity apostle, I don't know, man. I'm just still battling with that. But at the end of the day, you know, this— every apostle I read about, study about, you know, it was a tough, hard warfare walk. They were fighting for their very life almost every single day. So you, you and I both carry a mantle of apostolic leadership and part of that is territorial warfare. You know, there are strongholds and principalities in the realm of the spirit. So when we start talking about worship, that's one thing, but then apostolic and prophetic worship, um, how is that important to us taking a region, taking the city for God, transforming a city, transforming territory? Why is the prophetic and apostolic worship necessary to tap into the dimension. And you might want to, you know, just give an explanation, Apostle, of what apostolic and prophetic worship actually looks like. Because some people think— I said this a couple of weeks ago, I taught a word on creating a culture of kingdom worship— some people think, again, you worshiping just because the song you're singing is slow. That's not necessarily worship, right? You know, again, the object of worship is God. You haven't achieved worship until you move heaven. So talk to us about apostolic prophetic worship, tapping into these different realms and different dimensions so that we do see transformation, we do see miracles and healing out of this type of worship experience.
Oh man, that's so loaded. My God. Um, what, what— going back, do you talk about Paul and Silas? Think about Paul and Silas. That was apostolic worship. They're in jail. They're in literally an environment that's not comfortable, that's not conducive for comfortability, you know.
Yeah, sure.
And so they, they're, they're in there and they're worshiping the Lord. They're not studying their circumstances. They're just worshiping unto him.
Yes, sir.
All of a sudden, the whole jail starts to shake.
Yeah.
Means that apostolic worship has a target.
Yes, yes, it's purposeful. Yes.
Why does it have— why do you say it has a target? Because as they're worshiping, God is using their worship to target a jailer. You come on, to target the jailer's family. Oh God, everybody in there got saved after that one encounter of apostolic worship unto the Father. When God wrecked the jail, Paul and Silas was like, we still here, we ain't going nowhere, we didn't escape, we still here. And salvation came to the jailer, the family, and everybody in that jail because of apostolic worship. Disrupted the influence of the principality that held the culture.
Yes, sir.
So this, this is why apostolic houses get— they get hit the hardest, because when you look at the, the word apostolos, it deals with a flagship ministry.
Yes, sir.
Ministry that goes ahead of the rest of the ships. They have to go ahead with teams to take into territories to, to represent the culture they come out of. My God, so they carry the heaviest artillery, which means in the spirit they would carry the heaviest authority. I'm talking about real apostolic function. I'm not talking about if you just made yourself this. I'm talking about apostolic authority that, that demonic, demonic, uh, resistance happens to you because they, they know you're in the region. And so what happens is they have the heaviest artillery, they have, they have the heaviest authority for warfare, they have— I mean, just the mantle upon them just attracts warfare.
Yes, sir.
So when we use these tools, uh, the, the whole point of apostolic worship would be the glory. Come on, it's about the glory. Yeah, yes, it's about heaven's realm invading the space where we are, invading the regions. Because apostles and apostolic ministries, real ones, change the spiritual climate of a region. Yeah, this is why the warfare is so heavy, because you're changing the climate, you're, you're shifting it from the normality of what it is before you got there.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Traditional religious stench in the air, you're penetrating all of that. You're penetrating. Oh yeah, but the light of God's glory, yes, Lord, the darkness. And so you become a demonic target because— and this is why you see people, uh, uh, always fighting against apostolic ministries, revolving doors. Leaders don't want to connect with you. They don't want to deal with you. All of this is demonic resistance because you have been changing the spiritual climate in a region. And so if we can get more people connected to the mandate of what God wants to do apostolically and prophetically in a region, man, I'm telling you, the region starts to shift because you can't shift an environment until you shift a spiritual one first.
Yes, sir.
This is what God wants to do. God wants to so teach us the technologies of trading in the spirit with him that we start shifting things together in the realm of the spirit so that natural things can start aligning with heaven on earth.
Good stuff. Oh my God, that's a word, Apostle. So in a nutshell, if you guys didn't get it, when apostles And prophets worship. Yes, they legislate in the spirit. Yes, they release the laws of heaven.
Yes, sir.
To become manifested in your natural life.
Yes, sir.
Because you are now legislating what's already yours in the realm of the spirit through the worship. And apostolic ministry provides freedom.
Yes.
Watch this, every other ministry gift in that territory to freely do their job.
Yes, sir.
And I think some of these pastors should appreciate us more, Apostle. They don't even realize the reason they got 5,000, 10,000, can pastor without scandal, because we're legislating in the spirit on their behalf. Even though our ministry may be small, our impact is felt in the realm of the spirit because we are air traffic controllers in the realm of the spirit. That makes sure every other territorial gift can function, man. That, that's good stuff.
Listen, people don't understand that, yes, you may be small with numbers, but the stature of the spirit— I mean, that, you know, that's a whole— that's a whole nother rank in the realm of the spirit.
Yes, sir.
So we start moving things. I mean, you know, like you, like you taught me, air traffic controllers Uh, gatekeepers. And you know, when you gatekeep, that means, that means you have the ability in the realm of the spirit to keep things out that don't belong.
Yes, sir.
Things in that do belong.
Yes, sir.
So, you know, uh, yeah, I mean, these, these things, again, like you say, it should be more of an appreciation for apostolic ministry. But as we look in the word, uh, you know, the apostles were, were deemed as the lowest of the low. Uh, by, by the, by the religious cultures. Yes, they did not like apostolic authority, so they— what they do, throw them in jail, they tried to kill them, they tried to, uh, smear their name. And that's what happens, you know, that's what happens in regions. Stay away from that church, that church is a cult, you know, they say about us, uh, because of the apostolic authority. But at the end of the day, we're here to help the region. We're here to upgrade the region, uh, and, and partner with other people who want the same type of upgrade. So yes, sir, praise God.
Listen, guys, I, I know you're feeling it. The anointing is here. Listen, I want to take a moment right here. We're, we're moving, uh, close to our time to be done tonight, so I want to take a moment again to say, hey, if you have questions, please type them in the comments.

God bless you, Ashiana, and The GRC family and nation, thank you for being on tonight as well. But there's the link, glory to God, to the registration. It's up on the screen. Please make sure you get registered. Praise God. So here's now— so Apostle, before we close, yes sir, I, I want you to just really seriously, emphatically share with the people what you believe the Lord is saying concerning our worship life? And I know you've already unpacked a lot, man, but just directly, just considering everything that's going on in the world right now, everything that's going on in the body of Christ, you know, what do you feel is a right now word for the body of Christ? Glory to the name of God, that God is speaking to his people concerning, uh, the importance, the urgency of worship and how we defeat the devil through it.
Oh man. So again, just putting together what we talked about, um, worship is the catalyst to glory realms.
Yes.
And in the time— times we're in and the times we're going into, we're going— we're going to need— yes— to know how to function from the glory Hallelujah. And, um, we can't— we cannot allow Azusa Street to become a reality we never come into. We can't allow what was of past glories to become greater than what we have or what we can come into. And so Azusa Street, we know, have— I mean, literally went out through the world and changed it. And yes, you know what they— you know what the— you know the key apostle that William Seymour said was the key to the glory cloud?
Come on.
He said the worshipers were not in a hurry. He said worshipers— he said they worship— he said they worship 6 hours and nobody complained, and nobody was in a hurry, and they were not looking at their time, their watches. Worship was the, the catalyst to bring the glory remnant. And they saw creative miracles through the cloud, through the glory. Oh, I'm saying, when their eyeballs— it wasn't all of that, that all of these creative miracles we're praying about is in the realm of glory. Yes, taking the time to worship brought that cloud.
Hallelujah.
So what do we need? We need worship so we can press into the realms of his face and his glory. And, and that's the realm that's going to shift cultures. That's the realm that's going to shift cultures. The realm of glory.
Yes. What good stuff.
Wow.
Wow. So family, I told you, I told you that tonight was going to be powerful. We're clear. I mean, we're clear that worship is God's way of warfare. It's his way of doing warfare, and it has to become a lifestyle. Thank you so much, Apostle Brandon, for being here tonight, man. We love you. We appreciate God for your ministry. We can't wait to see you on Thursday. Yeah, it's gonna be phenomenal. And listen, y'all already know we ain't in a hurry, so we're going to wait in present until God does what he wants to do with us and through us at Rhoda Church. I'm inviting you, man, bring people with cancer, bring people with AIDS, bring people with kidney problems, stage 4 cancer, we don't care. God is a— people that can't walk, people that can't see, bring people that are addicted to drugs, addicted to alcohol, people with mental battles, bring them into the house. Again, this meeting starts on Thursday night. Apostle will be in the city. We're looking forward to hosting him. We're looking forward to the ministry that's going to flow out of his belly.
