Glory to God. And let's take care of that business. This before we even get started. Uh, if you're joining us live or by replay, uh, the best thing you could ever do is be a blessing to somebody else. And I always say a blessing is not a blessing until you give it away. So tonight, guys, let's give this blessing away. I know it's going to be a tremendous opportunity for any person that encounters this, especially any believer that taps into these teachings tonight, uh, simply because— hear me, I want you to hear me good— simply because we're talking about a subject tonight that every believer needs to embrace, and every believer needs to come into a place of obedience to, um, this subject matter. Listen, guys, it's not optional. It is a mandate. We've learned it is a command. So I need you to plug people in tonight. Those of you that are just joining us, do me a favor, guys, get this word out and share it. Uh, good evening, Tanya. I see you there inside of the studio. Glory to God. And so I sent out a link, a massive link, um, if you guys wanted to join us inside the studio like Tanya is doing tonight. Um, she has to give us a few more accesses and we'll be able to bring her on screen later. Uh, but nevertheless, glory to God. Uh, God is good, God is kind, glory to God. God is wonderful. Uh, he's an amazing good God. Hallelujah, glory to God. And, and we are grateful to him. Glory to God. Now this fast, I know it's been a blessing to many of you. So, uh, even if you're not in the studio tonight and you don't get to testify on screen, drop in the comments tonight, um, what this fast has done for you, and we'll make sure we, uh, address that and get, get that up on the screen as well. Uh, because again, we just want to make sure we're reaping the benefits, and whatever benefits we already reap are only the beginning. Hear this, because there are going to be blessings that follow this fast that's going to follow you throughout the rest of this year. Um, and it's going to be just tremendous blessing into your life. Some of you form new habits, um, and it's just a good thing all the way around. So I'm grateful to what God, uh, has done for us collectively through this time of fasting and prayer. Glory to God. Let's pray. And, um, like I said, go ahead and share this, guys. We're gonna go ahead and pray, and then we're gonna jump right into the heart of this tonight. I believe, uh, there is a word from the Lord. Glory to God. I believe there's something God wants to say to us. Praise God. And I believe, um, he wants to push us into dimensions of influence that we didn't even realize we had the ability to influence in. So let's pray tonight and we're gonna get into this word. Glory to God, I'm excited to teach you. Father, we give you praise. And God, again, we thank you for this journey. We thank you for this finale, uh, where we have gone through 21 days of fasting and prayer. We've been praying, God, that we can seek you better, that we can serve you better, that we can share you better. And Father, we've been fasting for fire, and that in this year of action, we will take action in all of those areas. We will be fiery children. Hallelujah! That will begin to take action in the world and bring about real change. And it starts with us seeking you, seeking you better. And I thank you, Lord, that as we have made this our focus, I believe that every person that fasted with us inside and outside of Rhoda Church. Every person that fasted with us, I believe that their life has been shifted in a way where they are seeking you better even in this moment, and they are made a conscious choice to serve you better and to show up in the world and to use their gifts to your edification and to your glory. And Father, even in this moment, that we are better at sharing you. And Father, so I thank you that we'll share better, we'll share better, we'll share the love of Jesus and the testimony that you've given us with others. For you said to us that we overcome him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. So we give you praise, we give you glory, we give you honor. And we thank you now for what you're getting ready to do. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Oh my God, what a mighty good God we serve. He's so good. Oh my God, he is so very good. Glory to God. Uh, from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same, his name— glory to God. He is worthy to be praised. And man, I am so grateful that I'm saved. And like the old mother used to say, before I take it back, I'll add more to it. Hallelujah! The Lord— glory to God— has been good to me. Oh, yeah, God! Thank you, Jesus. I love him. He's a good God. Hallelujah! He's a mighty God. Oh Father, we love you, we thank you, we give you praise. Glory to God. All right, you guys, I want you to make sure you have shared completely. Glory to God. And we're going to jump into this, and, um, I believe we're going to be blessed tonight. Glory to God. Uh, do you believe that? Glory to God. Do you believe we'll be blessed? Do you believe that God has something to say to us? Glory to God. Hallelujah. If you, if you believe it, just type in the comments, I believe I'm going to be blessed tonight, uh, by and through his word. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Thank you, Jesus. We bless your name, Father. How marvelous are you. How great are you, King. Glory to God. We bless you. We honor you. Oh my God, the grass wither, the flower fades, but thy word Thank you, Lord. It stands forever. So tonight, yes Lord, glory to God, we're going back into teaching. We started on yesterday at 12 noon on this last day of the fast, but you know, we're going to be continuing through this. Glory to God, because I know I'm not going to finish this tonight, but I think this is so important to taking action in this year. Action I even in this tier of our Fast Focus of sharing God better, I think this is very important. So just by way of review, guys, um, we talked about a few things, glory to God, that I thought we needed to talk about in terms of the Holy Spirit being resident in our life. Just rub your belly right now. Just rub your belly. Glory to God. And some of you probably got stuff in your belly right now that you ain't had in 21 days. Glory to God. Well, just rub your belly right now. Glory to God. And say, in the name of Jesus, the Holy Spirit is alive in me, and because of this, I am empowered to be a witness for Jesus. Oh boy, come on, one more time. Say, the Holy Spirit lives in me, therefore I am empowered to be a witness for Jesus. I need you to believe that. Glory to God. And tonight I just want to propose this question, um, and if you want to write them down, you can, but if you just can think about in this mind, in your mind really quick, I want you to see if you can come up with 7 things, just 7, that you know of specifically, because I want to really see how, how much you know the Holy Spirit. Matter of fact, yeah, I'm gonna put you on Front Street. Matter of fact, that's what I'm doing. I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. Because let's see how much you really know about the Holy Spirit. Uh, type in the comments, glory to God. Uh, just, just start typing 7 things that you know the Holy Spirit does. I want you to come up with 7 things that you know he does and he performs in your life. Come on, ready, set, go! Glory to God, typing in the comments. Glory to Jesus, 7 things that the Holy Spirit— glory to God— does? Come on, y'all, y'all go ahead, get them in the comments quickly. 7 things you know the Holy Spirit does. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. Hallelujah! Come on. Yes, I see you, Pastor Jasper. He teaches us all things. That's one. Yeah, Kiara, he corrects. Yes, Kiara, he loves. Uh, Pastor Jeffrey, he brings all things back to our memories. I'm— I know. Wait a minute, these ain't the only two people got the Holy Ghost. There you go, LQ. God bless you, daughter. He comforts, he speaks to, he guides, he rebukes, he teaches, he loves, he protects. Very good, LQ. Past Jasper, he's a comforter. Kiara, he strengthens when we're weak. Dr. Tam, he strengthens. Uh, Mia, glory to God, he encourages, he speaks, he instructs, he comforts. Oh Jesus. Felicia says he brings conviction. Yes, he does that. Hallelujah. Yes, he does that. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Those are good, those are good. Anybody else? Anybody else? How about he leads us and guides us into all truth? Well, you said that. Yes. Oh, he teaches us. Yes, yes. Glory to God. Isn't it amazing? Now he, he's gonna do it of the anointing. Yes. God today That's the truth. Glory to God. Now, so with that said, all of those things are so true. He does. And I'm sure we kept going tonight, we can just come up with probably 25, 30 more things that he does. And most of the time If you're having a dialogue like this about what the Holy Spirit does, we can come up with a lot of stuff. But can I tell you something? The thing that's gonna be left out of the conversation most is that he empowers us to be a witness. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. I mean, he, he used us to prophesy, heal the sick, all the gifts of the Spirit flow through us, all the 9 fruit of the Spirit flow through us, every fivefold ministry ministry office operates through him. He, because he is a creator, we can create. Glory to God, we have the creator of everything in us. Big stuff. But listen, what Jesus said before he went back to heaven after he got up out the grave— hear this, whoa, glory, glory, glory, glory, glory. And I read it in Acts 1:4. While he was still with them, he said, don't leave Jerusalem yet, wait for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. John baptized with water, but in a few days you'll be baptized with the Holy Spirit. I'm just reading this again for context tonight. While the apostles were still with Jesus, they asked him, Lord, are you now going to give Israel his own king? Verse 7, Jesus said to them, you don't need to know the time of those events that only the Father controls, but the Holy— but this is what you need to know: the Holy Spirit will come upon you and he will give you power to be a witness. So I need you to understand, in the, in the midst of everything we just listed, all of those things are 100% correct. They are 1,000% correct. Glory to God. Hallelujah. And I'm so glad, I'm so glad he's all those things. But he also— hear me, guys— has given us the power. And I think this is probably the greatest priority of all the things listed, because at the end of the day, if we really walk in love, we're going to do this. We found it out yesterday. So we started out talking about how we can exercise supernatural evangelism by becoming— listen to me, guys— supernatural encounters. So, and we talked about what that meant. So a supernatural encounter is when you become a walking encounter. In the name of God, so that anytime somebody encounters you, they encounter him first. Oh God, oh God, they encounter him first. And you know, ultimately, ladies and gentlemen, I don't know about you, but I'm all right with that. We ought to be all right We're wanting the world to encounter Jesus before they encounter us and experience his power, his wisdom, his love, his knowledge, his resources before they encounter us. Glory to God. So we left off yesterday, praise God. We started talking about in order to become a supernatural evangelist, a walking encounter We had to embrace the message of evangelism, the mandate of evangelism, the miracle of evangelism, and the methods of evangelism. We're going to jump back into this message tonight. We left off sharing with you how the message of evangelism is rooted in the core values of our faith in God and his word. So It's not evangelism. Listen to this. If I'm doing something or presenting a message that is not consistent with the Bible, that is not consistent with scripture, I cannot in integrity and honesty say I'm winning the lost if I'm using a method or speaking words that are not aligned with the word of God. Oh, and there's a lot of that going on. People want to convert people by— watch this— number one, trying to justify their lifestyle. Remember yesterday we talked about love being active and not passive? So love— oh my God— love It's not tolerance. It's not— when we talked about that, so we're not passively telling people they can stay the same and come to Jesus just to get them to Jesus. No, we want them to be clear that this is a new life and God's going to change everything about you, which is a good thing. Glory to God. So it has to be rooted in the word. Let me take you deeper. While he that wins a soul is wise— and I agree with that, that's my philosophy. I pray every day for a wise strategy to reach the lost. I want God to give me wise strategies to bring people to him. And matter of fact, that ought to be a prayer you pray, because he says he that wins soul is wise, is skilled, is informed. Is revelatory and relevant. However, that doesn't mean— listen to this— that I am given the right to conform to the world system or the Babylonian system to win the loss. So, okay, let's, let's just go there. Romans 8. Let's just go there tonight. Glory to God. Romans 8, because I want to show you this. I don't want you to say, uh, Apostle was making stuff up, and I'm not. Glory to God. Romans 8. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Welcome everybody, if you're just joining us. Glory to God. Stay with us, don't scroll. Glory to God, stay with us. Romans 8. Glory to God! I think I want to go down to like 20. Let's see. I love Jesus. How about you? Glory to God! He's a good God. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah! Okay, let's start at 20. Yes, yes, 20, 20, 20. For the creature— listen to this— Romans 8:20, was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who have subjected the same in hope. Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Verse 23: And not only they, but ourselves also— I'ma explain this in a moment— which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves, groan within ourselves waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. Here we go. For we are saved by hope, but hope that is seen— listen to this— is not hope. That's verse 24. For what a man sees, why does he hope? Whether we hope for that which we see not, then we do in patience wait for it. That was verse 25. So What is Paul saying to these Romans? Watch this. First, he said every creature, every creature, every creature, every creature that was ever created was made subject to vanity. So, so wait a minute, what does that mean, Michael? That means that we were arranged, born in sin, arranged enslaved by our sinful nature because we were born in sin and shaped in iniquity. We were subject to vanity, which means we were devoid of truth. So before you heard the truth, listen, you were void of truth. Maya astis in Greek is what that word is. You are void of truth, you are empty of truth. But then you heard the truth, and the truth woke up something in your DNA that was designed to connect with God. And now you begin to be drawn to God and away from vanity. But it was truth that drew you, not the same vanity. So if you tell me I need to have— let me use this for example, and I'm not hating on anybody that does this, I'm not even knocking it, I'm not preaching against it, I'm just saying we got to be careful of methods. So if you're telling me I gotta sing a rap song in the same tense, tone, mood, verbiage as a trap rap artist to win somebody to Christ. I shouldn't have to win someone to Christ with their vanity. Again, the scripture just told us hope we can see is not hope. So if I'm leading you to God in a hope that you're familiar with Oh, I can get saved and still go to the club. I can get saved and still do what I was doing before. And let them not make you clear that there's a new hope that's going to rescue this body. Oh my God, from vanity, from the areas that avoid the truth. So again, I don't have to conform to the Babylonian system to create a message to win people. Don't get mad at me, it's, it's in here. Yeah, I don't have to have a step show with the cues at the church to win people to God. And y'all ain't got— okay, okay, I'm just saying, I ain't got to do the electric slide at the church. I'm gonna show you all I mean in a moment. I'm just trying to make us clear on what this message needs to look like. Oh my God, I ain't got to do the swag surf at the church, come on, to get people born again. I don't, I don't have to appeal to their vanity. Okay, let me show you. Let me, let me just show you this real quick, real quick, real quick. Still in Romans. Oh my God, oh my God. Oh boy, oh boy. Uh, where I want to go, where I want to go. Okay, Romans 1:16, because I'm gonna show you all we need. This is all we need right here, okay? This is all we need inside of the Message. Because when I appeal to vanity, I am saying— are y'all hearing this? This is not enough. I'm saying what I'm about to read is not enough. When I appeal to vanity, the Bible says, for I'm not ashamed Come on, church. For I am not ashamed of the gospel, of Jesus Christ. Watch this, colon. For it— what's the it? The gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the power of God unto salvation. Oh my God. So if I preach the gospel— what's the gospel, Michael Woods? Here's the message: Jesus was born supernaturally of a virgin. Oh, that's the first part of the gospel. Jesus lived on the earth sin-free. Glory to God. He, he was born and he lived sin-free. Then he died. Glory to God for the sins of the world. He died on a bloody cross, wounded by our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace— whoo! Shema Keanu was upon him. And with his stripes I'm healed. Then he resurrected. Wait a minute, no, no, no, I'm leaving a part out. I'm going to give you the whole gospel. Born, lived, died, buried. The burial is a part of the gospel because he was buried in a borrowed tomb. Glory to God. And the burial is significant to the resurrection because he had to be buried as a human would be buried. Oh, but the Bible declares there's another part of the gospel. On the third day, he was resurrected from the grave. With all power. Oh my God, today in his hand— I'm talking about the gospel. I'm not talking about this stuff people call gospel today. I'm talking about this is the gospel. If it ain't got Jesus in it, his birth, his life, his death, his burial, his resurrection— watch this— and lastly, this is the gospel. His ascension. Oh God, oh, he ascended from earth to heaven. Ah God, you thought Superman was the only person could fly. When Jesus got through down here, he took off. Glory to God. And ascended into heaven. He flew without a 747. All miraculous acts. This is the gospel. This is the tenets. This is the substratum. This is the foundation to which our message of evangelism must be rooted in. Anything else, hear me, it ain't the gospel. I don't have to conform to vanity to win people. Joyfully-yam. So inside of that gospel message, we started talking about this yesterday. There has to be love. It has to be disseminated. It has to be shared with this person that's out of fellowship with God in love. But here's the second one I want to give you tonight. It needs to be shared in honor. Glory to God. Listen, you'll share this message and you won't hesitate to share with others that you know you need to share it with. When you honor human life, when you honor people as God's children, because he reigns on the just as well as the unjust. So we can't be supernatural evangelists turning up our nose at others who don't have what we have, who have not received Jesus Christ into their life. We must honor them. And what honor does, it places a high regard, family. High regard. High regard on every person God has created. Did you hear me? Honor says that the prostitute has honor in her life or his life, that the homosexual has a dimension of honor, that the lesbian has a dimension of honor. They're liars and the cheapest of sinners. Hear me, they were created by God, and in order to get their attention and to win them We must give them honor as God's creation. Watch this. God reigns on the just as well as he does the unjust. Judas was sitting at the table— hear me— with Jesus at the Last Supper. And when Jesus began to wash the disciples' feet, he could have chose not to wash Judas's feet, but he, uh, he knew this man was going to betray him, but he washed his feet anyway and showed him honor. See, Jesus, even knowing that he had an enemy among him and doing exactly who it was, he still chose to wash his feet and give him an opportunity— watch this— to repent. And get it together. But Judas had to betray him, right, so he can go to the cross. But Jesus washed feet. He didn't judge. So you honor, irregardless of a person's social condition, no matter how much money they got or don't have, no matter what their spiritual condition is. You honor because that's a soul that needs to be saved. And I think this is— and, and if I, if I touch your toes a little bit today, tonight, I apologize, all right? Because all of us have been guilty of this in one way or the other. Maybe even subconsciously you were doing this and didn't think about You can walk in a restaurant or go to a gas station or go to Walmart. You are surrounded with people who don't know Jesus. I asked a question when I first started teaching this: when was the last time you went fishing? The very fact that you run in the store or can spend hours in the store, even speak to people and even sometimes strike up conversations with them and never be sensitive enough to the Spirit to hear Jesus for their life and begin to share Jesus with them, it really speaks to the fact that you didn't honor them. And again, because subconsciously we're not thinking in this regard, but really, if somebody crosses your path, you need to become a walking encounter. You need to show them love. You need to show them honor. Okay, so y'all, y'all say, okay, I ain't got— why are you telling me, Apostle, to honor a sinner? Okay, let me just take you to the Bible, y'all Bible folk. Let me take you to the Bible. First Peter, let me take you to the Bible. We're going to Bible. First Peter, here we go. First Peter 2:12. Glory to God. Listen, you gotta remember, you are saved by grace yourself. You were once a sinner. Not one of us was born saved. You had to get saved. Umashiantabaya. Umashiantabaya. How many times, day in and day out, for real, do we not help people understand that they can have a new life in Christ. Do you realize the scripture says in Revelation— I'm gonna go to Peter. I said— I know I said what I said. I'm going there. 2:12. I see it there, Kiara. I'm going, I'm going. I see it, Pastor Gerald. I'm going. I gotta say this in Revelation. Hear me, guys. In Revelation. The Bible tells us we overcome him— who's him? The devil— by the blood of the Lamb. That's the death, the life of Jesus, the death of Jesus. We overcome Satan by the blood of the Lamb, so we get free from sin. But they didn't stop there. It said, and the word of our testimony. Notice it didn't say somebody else's testimony. So we overcome and continue to overcome through testifying. Testimony is two words: test and money, which means you have a monologue about the test. So you can't have a monologue if you don't open your mouth and speak. So when you have a monologue with someone about your test, you are showing them honor. You're saying they are worthy to receive the very same thing that happened to you. Oh my God. Okay, okay. 1 Peter 2:12. I ain't fooling with y'all tonight, man. 1 Peter 2:12. Glory to God. Yeah, y'all acting funny. You done ate tonight and you done act— you acting funny. Got some meat, done got some fish, done drunk a Coke, all that stuff. You, you, you feel like you're back in the game. Listen, I'm just trying to tell you, you need to have a monologue about your test. Glory to God, you went through that test for somebody else. They overcome, you overcome through testifying. So you share your testimony so you can give them one so they can help someone else overcome. Yes God, we give you the glory, we give you the glory. All right, all right, yeah, I see it here, there it is. Revelation 12:11. Now 1 Peter 2:12, watch this: having your conduct honorable— listen to this— among the Gentiles. Y'all hear this? The Gentiles was those that didn't know God. They didn't have Christ in their life. They didn't have a Christ worldview. They were sinners. Hallelujah! They were sinners. Glory to God! That when they speak against you as evildoers— listen to this— so not only were Gentiles sinners, but they were evil. They were injurious toward those that profess the name of Jesus. They were enemies. Watch this. Then when they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works which they observe— listen to this, oh my God— glorify God in the day of visitation. So when you have honorable conduct in front of the Gentiles and you speak to them even though they're speaking against you the things of God, the Bible said by your good works, by your conduct, they will glorify God in the day of visitation, which means when Jesus returns, they'll be saved and they'll give glory to God when he returns back. Are y'all hearing this? That's right, Aaron, that's absolute truth. Our revelation becomes someone else's breakthrough. That's exactly what I just said, and that's, that's the truth. Glory to God. So we gotta honor, we gotta honor them. Here's another one, let's keep moving. I'm talking about the elements of this message. The first was love, the second honor, here's the third: presence. Say presence. Presence. P-R-E-S-E-N-C-E. S-E-N-C-E. Uh, go to John, the first chapter, and I'm going to read, glory to God, verses number 32 and 33. Glory to God. The Bible says this, and John, listen to this, bore witness saying, listen to this, I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove. And he remained upon him. I did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining on him, this is he who baptizes with the Spirit. Listen, guys, Listen to me. Living in the presence of God is living with our heart's affection turned toward heaven, which means in our heart and in our life, we want what heaven wants. We want to see manifested what heaven wants to manifest. Listen, when the presence of God rests on ordinary people, it creates extraordinary results in others, in spaces, in places. So you cannot be a supernatural evangelist if the presence of God isn't remaining with you. That's why, glory to God, you gotta mind your conduct because God is holy. So then when you go to witness, he's there. Y'all live like you got a dove on your shoulder. This dove is sent down here, this, and it's remaining with him. So I want you to think about this. Live like if you had a natural dove on your shoulder. And one wrong move, he flies away. Hear this, hear that, hear that. One wrong move, bam, he's gone. And now you got to go through the whole crying, repenting, and trying to get it— getting back upon you. We need him to dwell, we need him to strive, we need him to be with us. Because again, when the presence abides with us, it changes environments, it changes the people in those environments for the better. Listen, when we become a host— God help us— when we become a host for God and for his kingdom, this is the thing that enables us to demonstrate his love, number one, and also to manifest his kingdom to others. What does that mean? That means with presence is with you, and let's say you're in Walmart and the Holy Spirit speaks to you and says, there's a man on aisle 9 with a cast on his arm. He just broke his arm 3 days ago. I want to give him a miracle tonight. I want to see him free and delivered right here tonight in Walmart. So the doctors told him it would take 8 to 16 weeks for him to be healed. I want to heal him tonight. You go pray for him, lay hands upon him, take the cast off in the store. I'm gonna heal his bones. He's going to be totally whole right here, right now. My God, today in Walmart. Glory to God. And what are you gonna do with that, right? So the presence is striving with you. He's gonna give you these kind of instructions. What are you gonna do when you see a clue that you can follow to the supernatural? Because the presence is always looking for an opportunity to glorify the Father. And you march right over there to aisle 9, lay your hands on them, and just walk up to him. You got to make no scenes. You ain't got to be all that. No, just walk up nicely. You know what, I noticed that you broke your arm. And tell them what the Holy Spirit told you. Say, and I, and I know for a fact you just broke it 3 weeks ago, and the doctor said it's going to be 8 to 16 weeks. But I want to pray for you, and God's going to heal your arm tonight because you need your arm to be mobile so you can work and do the things you need to do to take care of your family. Do you mind if I pray for you? And there you have it. You honored them through your obedience. You loved on them through your obedience. And now you're allowing the presence to inebriate them and change them. Listen, I'm not just teaching this because I want y'all to hear it. I'm teaching this 'cause I want y'all to start doing this stuff. I want you to start going into grocery stores, gas stations, restaurants, looking for clues. I was down in the Grady Oncology office today. Nothing but cancer patients in the waiting room. I'm sitting there in my chair 'cause I was down there with my dad. Thank God he has kicked cancer in his tail. We're grateful, uh, that God has liberated him. No cancer in his body. We were down there with him today just to do the final things that needed to be done for him. Glory to God. But while I'm sitting there, I'm saying, God, where's the opportunity here? Who do I need to pray for? Who do I need to lay hands on in this office? Who do I need to minister to? And Holy Spirit just led me today. He said, no one. He said, but right here in your seat. He said, your presence, just begin to pray for everybody here and everybody that comes through the doors. He said, my power is going to be released upon them as they come in these doors today. See, you got to be sensitive. Glory to God. And you got to be, because this stuff ain't just for church. We like praying in church, knocking for God in church. Bam, bam, bam, bam. Good stuff. All right, great, we had an encounter. Did that encounter culminate with a soul being saved? That's what we want, man. These gifts are for us, but they're also for sinners. Hear me. Glory to God. Oh, I love you, Jesus. You're so wonderful. You're so wonderful. So presence just deals with the idea when it comes down to the message. Learning to walk in the presence, guys, is a major key. Say major. It's major. It's a major key to demonstrating life as a supernatural encounter. You have to host the presence of God. Now, how are— how do you become a host? I was, you know, so I think about— so a lot of times we travel, especially if we're traveling with family, uh, or we're going to a place where, uh, we're gonna be extended for quite some time. Felicia and I will stay in an Airbnb? Well, the people that own those properties are hosts. They're hosting you. So when you get there, you don't have to bring a couch with you, a bed with you. You don't have to bring pots and pans with you. You don't have to bring anything. Everything you need, just like at your house, is going to be inside of that Airbnb. You got to pick the right one, read the stuff, make sure what you need is there. But if they're hosting you, everything they promised you as a host— hear me— is going to be available. When you host the presence, all you're saying, God, I'm your host, and whatever you need me to do, whatever part of me you need to do what needs to be done to get this person into the kingdom, I'm your host. Oh boy. When was the last time you really hosted the Holy Spirit and yielded yourself totally to him so that whatever he needed from you— glory to God, glory to God— you could give it to the person on the other end? So you can't be a supernatural evangelist if you make it about you. If you get out there and say, oh, I'm going to show them how gifted I am, I'm a prophet, I can see through muddy water, or I got power, I can lay hands on the sick. And you look, that's— it's not gonna work. You have to humbly host him and yield your words, your hands, your love, your attitude to him. Oh my God, oh my God, today, Gloria. Hallelujah! We gotta learn the whole step. Here's another one, here's number 4. So elements of the message, y'all ready? Love, honor, presence. Number 4, let's go, is power. Power, something that the church is missing today that we need more than ever. The Bible said when the Holy Ghost comes upon you, you shall receive power. That's what we read in Acts, to be witnesses for me. We need the dunamis power of God. Dunamis power is inherent ability, which means you have inherited the ability of God himself to be a witness. Wait a minute, the word witness is martus in Greek, which is where we get words like martyr. A martyr dies for a cause. Here we go again with Holston. You cannot see the power in full manifestation unless you're willing to die to you, unless you're willing to let go of ego that will get in the way of a move of God. Oh God, here we go, here we go. Really, guys, to live a life of miracles, signs, wonders— listen, this is not optional for the supernatural evangelist. This is part of the mandate. Remember, we read it, Mark 16:15. These signs will follow them that believe. Go put the go back in gospel, get back out there, and these signs follow them that believe. But watch this, when you become a host, see, the belief gets the signs behind you. Because what happens is the signs, okay, you gotta believe it, they're behind you the whole time. Matter of fact, all of us got signs walking behind us all day. These signs shall follow us. They're following, they're following, they follow, they follow. They're waiting for you to become a host, because when you become a host, they stop following and catch up to you, move in, and they start working through you. That's when the power is manifested. Oh my God, oh my God! Listen, the Great Commission is proof that we need Heaven's assistance. Hear me, moving through our lives. Glory to God! To display the raw power of God. Just think, I told you the other day that the Jehovah's Witness, who have no power, who have nothing but false doctrine, is outgrowing the Christian church 19 to 1. But just think that we got some fireball, consumed by fire sons of God that made up their mind they don't want the signs just following, they want the signs to catch up, and they want the raw power to start moving through them. What if we had groups of fireball Christians knocking on doors? Oh, I feel like running! Good God Almighty! Good God Almighty! And when people come to the door, we have one there that's a prophet, say, oh, I sense in this house, glory to God, but there's cancer in this house, there's blood pressure, there's high cholesterol. I, I sense in the name of Jesus that there's depression and mental illness. And the prophet begins to prophesy what's going on in the house, and then the miracles start coming through the team. That house gets delivered, and the whole house of the door that was knocked on gets saved. Oh, y'all don't want to do this kind of work, right? Listen, We, because we want to prophesy in church, we want to lay hands in church on church folk. Oh, but y'all better get ready when this weather breaks. We're gonna be some door knocking folk, I'm telling you. We're going out with power. We gonna defeat the Jehovah's Witness. I'm— we're coming at them 19 to 1. No, it's not happening. And I'm talking about that's 19 to 1 in our region. The number is larger nationwide. Nationwide, the Jehovah's Witnesses outgrowing the Christian church about 47 to 1. Oh boy, y'all, y'all ain't ready for this, right? Okay, listen, we gotta tackle this, man, and we, we gotta stop saying we got all this power, glory to God, and it's not affecting those who are lost. So the whole house gets saved, then we bring them to the church and disciple them. Them so that they become evangelists. Glory to God. And they— listen, and you don't have to have a title to move in this. You just have to be a believer who has the Holy Ghost. And we all have already established, because the Holy Ghost lives in you, you've been empowered to be a witness. Go to 1 Thessalonians 1:5. Listen, let me tell you something. What I just said about knocking on the doors, that's real, man. I'm telling— I got some strategies God's given me. We're gonna exercise these strategies. So I said earlier, we're gonna go to 1 Thessalonians 1:5, but watch this, we're gonna exercise some strategies in this message that's going to display the raw power of God. I'm telling you right now. We're not going to conform to the Babylonian system, but we are going to go into the world. We're not going to do what they're doing. We're going to bring light and fire where they are. One of the things we're going to do— now, if you ain't ready, if you still got some club in you, we ain't taking you to the club. But we gonna put together some teams and we're gonna go into nightclubs and night spots and bars and begin to minister to people and witness to people. We're gonna put together teams. I thought about it today. This is a great strategy. Felicia, she confirmed it while it was on my mind. I thank God for being one with her. Glory to God. While I was in my head, she confirmed it. She said, this is a great place to do ministry. Then my— then my— watch this— my mom was sitting there. She said too, this is a great place. Two or three witnesses. Listen, let me tell you something. We gonna stop by oncology offices, stop by medical facilities, and just begin to pray for people in the power of God and lead them to Jesus, and then lead them to a place they can be discipled. Are y'all hearing this? Oh my God. That's good. First Lady, our boots are made for walking. That's the truth. Glory to God. I'm almost done, guys. I'm over my time tonight, but this is so good to me. Glory to God. I can sit here and teach y'all all night. Glory to God. If I thought you listened all night, I'd teach you all night, but I know y'all got to go to school, work, all of that. Listen, just touch yourself. As a matter of fact, just say that what Felicia just posted. Say, my boots are made for walking. Glory to God. Hallelujah. You got to put some fire on your feet, and we got to put go back in gospel and reach those that need what's in us. Watch this, and then I'm telling— we're gonna— because we, we're caught— our church, man, those of you that are part of Rada, whether you're in Jackson, whether you're in the Mississippi region, whether you're in DMV, whether you're in Atlanta, our church is called to win souls. We have to be different. This is why God will not allow us to just grow like everybody else with all this membership transfer, because we got an apostolic mandate over our ministry. Because that's who I am. At the core of my ministry is evangelism. We have to do it, and it's time. I'm telling you, this is the year of action. And I'm telling you, man, we— I got one strategy, and we're going to— we're going to 1 Thessalonians 1:5 and then Matthew 10:1, and I'm gonna be done today. We're gonna go into a nightclub. I'm gonna take somebody in there with me, glory to the name of God, to do a live performance. When that person gets through singing and ministering, I'm gonna get up behind them and I'm gonna talk for about 10-15 minutes about Jesus Christ. And then I'm going to pray for people in the club, and I'm gonna have teams of people in the club to help me pray for people in the club. And I'm trying— I'm telling you right now, people are gonna get born again on that night. People are going to get healed. The prophetic is going to flow. People are going to be slain in the spirit inside of the nightclub. Their lives will never be the same again because they're going to encounter the power of God. We gotta go where they are because guess what? While it was said, and this number is true, that after the pandemic that 70% of the people that once attended church would not go back to church I said it before. I heard that on CNN, the pronosticator said it. I said it prophetically. I said this pandemic and all these rules they're putting down is telling people not to go to church. I said after this is over, people are not going to return. I'm telling you right now, we're living out the 70% that didn't return. These were people who were in the church that didn't come back. We're not going to worry about that. There is a remnant of people who are yet to be born again who are going to become the church of the future. Oh God, who are going to become the fiery ones that don't mind assembly, that don't mind coming together. Lord, I love you. Lord, I love you. Glory. We give you glory, Father. 1 Thessalonians 1:5. I got to get out of here. So again, miracle signs and wonders point people to Jesus. You know, it's not about a man, it's just about pointing people to Jesus. Glory to God. This Dominion at Sea cruise we're planning, I want you guys to go. And I want you to invite your sinner friends, because I'm believing God that we're gonna have a glorious harvest upon that boat, getting people born again in those sessions we're going to have on the boat. I'm telling right now, if you get them there, God's gonna save them. Glory to God. Look, if you— oh my God, today, 1 Thessalonians 1:5. The Bible said, for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and in much assurance, confidence. Glory to God! As you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. Watch this, Paul is saying, look, you know what we was, we were totally against the church. Paul is testifying. Listen, he trying to win these thessalonikans. He's testified, look, I used to kill Christians. You know what kind of man I was? I used to drag Christian women and children in the street and kill them. But God saved him. He testified, ah, he said there's no way I would be saved except power. We know Paul's salvation story. Glory to God. God showed up and talked to him in person. God wanted him so bad he evangelized him himself. Oh God, have mercy. He— you talking about coming in power. But look, can I tell you something? If God can save Paul, there ain't a sinner you know that God can't save. Hear me. Matthew 10:1, and I'm closing, I promise you, I promise you, I promise you I'm closing. The Bible says, and when he had called his 12 disciples to him, listen to this, he gave them power, he gave them authority, he gave them exousia. He gave them power over unclean spirits. My God. To cast them out. Goodness. Not to cast them in, not to cooperate with them, to get them out. And to heal all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease. Again, miracles, signs, and wonders. Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God. Point people to Jesus. They're following you. What are you going to do with that? You just let the miracle signs and wonders follow you? Them new tongues that you're supposed to be speaking, and you're just going to let it follow you? Now, new tongues there is not the prayer language that we pray in the spirit. New tongues, that askala, or language God will supernaturally endow you. This has happened to me before, to minister to someone that speaks Spanish and you don't speak Spanish, or someone that speaks German and you don't speak German. You'll speak with new tongues. You'll speak languages that you never went to the classroom to learn. Oriyanseteba. I've witnessed to Mexicans, Hispanics, in their language. And I had no idea what I was saying, but I led them to Jesus. I need you to understand something. It was the Holy Spirit that has empowered me to be a witness. I trusted it. I knew those men needed to be saved. I knew they couldn't understand me. I just began to talk and speak in tongues And they received in tears the baptism of the Holy Spirit. They received salvation because God will give you a new tongue. He'll help you speak in a language that you never learned in a classroom. There it is, there it is in Acts 2:1. When the Holy Ghost came, they heard every man in their language. It wasn't what we do in the spirit, prophetic tongues or praying in the spirit. No, on the day of Pentecost, it was so that everybody could understand each other. God gave them supernatural ability to understand and to speak in everybody's language. God said you have the same thing following you. He, he did that so there'll be no limitations to who you could reach with the gospel, as long as you got the Holy Spirit. So it means if you're knocking on the door, you're not gonna door that's full of Germans, yeah, you better get ready to speak German, or full of Asians, whether they're Chinese, Japanese, whatever it is. God's gonna let some ting tong tau start coming out of your mouth, and they're gonna understand it. Glory to God. And they're gonna give their life to God. Oh boy, good God Almighty. Hallelujah. I gotta quit, y'all, because I'm telling you, I teach this all night, man. I pray y'all getting something out of this teaching. I pray, I pray, dear God, that there's something stirring up in your belly to go out into the world and be an evangelist and, and be a contagious fire so that others can come to Jesus. Glory to God. Yes, right, daughter, your story will lead others to God for sure. World. Your testimony is powerful, just like many of us on this line. And, and I'm so glad, daughter de Kiera, that you recognize just how powerful your story is. Thank you, Aaron. Thank you, Pastor, uh, Jasper. I appreciate all you guys. Listen, I'm going to get ready to get out of here, but what I want to do, uh, and then we're going to pray at the end. Glory to God. And we'll continue teaching this, you know, we'll teach. Thursday night is our Bible study, we're gonna keep driving it. Sunday we're gonna drive, we're gonna keep driving this, driving this, driving this, because we want to take action in this area. Amen. Um, what I like to do— I, I guess Tanya got on regular, she was inside of the studio, glory to God. But what I— if you— I just want you in the comments really quick If the fast has been a blessing to you, I just want you to just type in the comments really quick what this fast has done for you. Uh, we just want the world to see it. Glory to the name of God. Because, because we weren't just going hungry. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Yes, Pastor Jasper, I, I— yes sir, I will do it. Yes sir. Glory to God. Glory to God. You guys, again, just drop in the comments, you know, just a few words about you know, your testimony concerning this fast, even if it was challenges you went through, but talk about how you defeated those challenges, overcame it, and just really what this fast has meant to you. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord. And so, Father, we thank you for this word. We thank you for the fast. We thank you for the blessing it's been to all of us. And I decree and declare, God, that we're going to take action. And Father, we're going to reach the lost. We're going to seek you better. We're going to serve you better. We're going to share you better. And Father, we thank you that because the Holy Spirit lives in us, we have authority, we have power to operate in signs, wonders, and miracles. And I release the discernment, the word of wisdom, the word of knowledge over this people, the gift of prophecy, so they can discern clues when they walk into public places. If they see a cast on a leg, or if they hear someone coughing, or they see someone that clearly looks sick, I declare— or someone that they may not even know is sick and doesn't look sick, but you speak to them to pray— that they will have the boldness and authority to introduce that person to the kingdom through miracles, signs, and wonders. In Jesus' name, amen. And thanks be to God. Listen, again, if this fast has done anything for you please type it in the comments. I know I ain't the only one blessed by the fast. Glory to God. So if it's done anything for you, please guys, just very quickly, I ain't gonna tarry here. Glory to God. I'm gonna move real quick. Glory to God. Because I want— I got a couple more things I need to share with you and we're gonna be out. So just, just tell me in your own words if you got something to say what the fast has done for you. Glory to God. I'm gonna wait, I'm gonna give you a moment right there. Glory to God. I, I hear the Jeopardy music in my ear. Come on, man, tell me. Glory to God. Glory to God. God is so good. He's so kind. He's so awesome. Pray. We thank you, we thank you. Well, well, well, well. So I guess we went hungry 21 days and nobody got no testimony. Oh, here we go. Dr. Tam, glory to God. Thank you. Maybe it's just taking a little longer for the comments to pop up. So Dr. Tam says that this 21 Days of Action Fasting for Fire— glory to God— she said, this fast have showed me that I need God in every area of my life. This fast has showed me that I have to fight with the word of God. Yes, hallelujah, always. And I can't let up. I lost some pounds as well, and that the presence of God is where I always want to be. Awesome, Dr. Tam. Thank you for sharing that testimony. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. God bless you, LQ. That's my EA, in case you guys didn't know it. Glory to God. I got— I gotta do better about being, um, directive because I'm always— I've been independent so long, I'm getting used to having her, but, um, Nevertheless, LQ says this fast has given her revelation, insight, and highlighted some of her shortcomings. That is so great. Thank you for, uh, that. Glory to the name of God, LQ. And I can agree with you on that too. It's a lot for me, a lot of revelation, insight about me, and it has definitely put a floodlight on areas where I can be better, a better me. Glory to the name of God. Uh, Mia, God bless you, Minister Alexander. I love it. She says this fast has increased her sensitivity to his presence. Glory to God. Great, great. I'm so glad, uh, Mia. Glory to God. That's what this is all about. Amen. That's what we were doing it for. We, we were not doing this just to go home. We're We wanted something out of it. Glory to God. Uh, Kiara, glory to God. This fast proved to me that I can push through and get up and pray at 5 AM. Yes, I love it. God met me there every time. The food/drinks I thought I couldn't live without, I love it. I actually could. I can see better. Oh my God, what a great Testimony. Thank you for sharing that, Kiara. Glory to God. I got one question for you, daughter. Were you able to defeat the hot sauce the whole fast, or was you around there sprinkling hot sauce on broccoli? Glory to God. Were you able to defeat hot sauce the whole fast? Glory to God. Hallelujah. My wife says, glory to God, the fast has taught her endurance. And discipline, discipline and clarity in the thought process. That is beautiful, babe. Thank you for sharing that. Glory to God. Thank you for sharing that. That is so good. That's your first lady. Glory to God. See, it, it, it's, it— that's what it was supposed to help us find, things that we can improve and areas we could be better in. Glory to God. Thank you for sharing that, baby. Um, My cousin, um, Minister of Worship Tanya Anderson. Let's see what Tanya says. Tanya says, this fast truly opened my eyes into trusting God in areas I thought everything was good. I was truly under an attack, and the powerful word coming day after day of trusting and believing and standing strong was evident, and I was able to see my own eyes miracles and breakthroughs. That I can't wait to testify. I love it. Oh my God, that is so good. That is so good. Thank you so much, Tanya, for sharing that. Glory. So again, so we weren't teaching in vain every day, you know. We were doing this for these purposes that you guys are sharing. We're praying in vain. We want to turn our plate down in vain. Uh, these manifestations, um, make it Worth it all. And I want you guys to know I appreciate you. I love you all so much. Uh, Pastor Jeffrey Jasper says the fast gave us wisdom and implementation for action in several areas. Glory to God. Thank you, Pastor. That's what it was about, a call to action. Glory to the name of God. And thank God for his wisdom. It is so important and so powerful to our lives. Glory to the name of God. God is so good. God is so good. Thank you everyone for those comments. I want you to know, even those of you that didn't comment, I believe that something happened for you. Glory to God. You know, she said, no, but I'm not giving up. I did cut back a lot. With it, but that was a big step for me. Well, I commend you for cutting back, but you know what, we're gonna need to put you on another hot sauce fast. Glory to God. So you could get free. Glory to the name of God. I love it, I love it, I love it, I love it. Beautiful, beautiful. God is so good. He's good, he's good. And I love you all. Again, thank you so much for your Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. Kiara says she's down. It's coming. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Um, so just a few announcements, guys. So this Sunday, this Sunday, as most of you know, I will be in Cairo, Georgia. Glory to the name of God. Uh, preaching revival at 11:30 AM and 7 o'clock Sunday night. I would love to have my family there with me, if only just for Sunday. Um, I— this is an assignment from the Lord. This is my sister. She and I were affirmed as apostles at the same time by our spiritual father at the time at my church in Jackson, Mississippi. So she and two other apostles and myself We were all affirmed that same night. And, um, you know, she's just been a real sister to me, uh, for a long time. And her ministry has been under some attack. They're going through some things. And, you know, it's not many of us, but I want to take us, if we can, at least for the first day, so we can help uphold her arms, so we can intercede, we can pray up through, um, and she could just know that you know, she's still— she has friends that loves her and her husband and the church family that's there with her. So, you know, if you guys can go, I want you to go. Glory to the name of God. For those of you that can't, uh, both services we're going to stream, um, the whole revival actually. So it'll be streamed live, so you can definitely get on and watch the services. But I don't want you to replace streaming with your physical presence on Sunday because we're not having church at the church. But I— listen, more than a local church, we're also an apostolic evangelistic team. And so I think you guys need to be able to see and be a part of some of the things we do on the road. And this one is close enough for everybody to jump in the car and drive. If y'all need to get together, carpool, whatever, I trust you guys will work that out Um, on Thursday, uh, we'll, we'll have a— we'll put together a plan on how we'll depart, how we'll get together. But start thinking about that because I want to see you if I possibly can. I know, uh, some of you is too far for you to be there, especially in other states. But again, we're going to stream it. But for those of you in Georgia, uh, I, I really want you to help us and make the sacrifice. And let's be there, uh, for this dear sister in the Lord. I know her heart will be encouraged if you're in the building, not just me. Glory to the name of God. Um, God is good. He's so good. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

Get that seed in the ground. Do what you got to do. Because you need to get in a place where you ain't got to borrow no more.

I have a— I've asked for two seeds this whole fast, a $21 seed, $66 seed. Get this $66.12 seed in the ground and watch what God does for you. Amen. All right guys, y'all be blessed. Have a smile upon you is my prayer. Ways to give are scrolling on the bottom of the screen. Glory to the name of God. Get your seed in the ground. Hallelujah. It's more blessed to give than it is to receive. Uh, Pastor Jeffrey, as always, has the ways to give in the comments. Glory to God. So make sure again you get your seed in the ground. I love y'all. Y'all be blessed tonight. Have a smile upon you is my prayer. Peace.
