THE APOSTLES ARE COMING! DAY 2 | APOSTLE MIKE WOODS | 6 DECEMBER 2025

Last night, Apostle preached, man. He taught the word. And you know what he really did? He gave a recap of everything I've been teaching every month. Apostle Brandon is a great teacher. This is a lesson right here because he's an excellent student. He taught so many things that he's learned over time, and he just repackaged them and gave them to you. And I have been teaching this stuff all month, and I know sometimes it takes somebody else to come and say it, but most of the stuff I already said. So I pray y'all getting it. In the mouth of two or three witnesses, let everything be established. Glory to God. Daniel 11:32. If you got it, say amen. All right, the Bible says, and such as violate covenant say covenant. He shall pervert and seduce with flatteries. I'm gonna read that part again, that a clause. That's— this is interesting because we're speaking of God. And such as violate the covenant, he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries. But the people who know their God shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits. Glory to God. Well, Pastor, uh, Apostle, so glad you could join us, sir. Did you sleep well? I'm gonna tell you what I told them. You should have been here at 5. The glory came in. And that young man that was with you last night, I'm gonna tell him publicly, he definitely should have been here at 5. The blessing that was released in this place last night. So you got to teach them about the sac— you just— all the stuff you taught, sacrifice, no laziness. We got to not just talk about it. We have to be about it, right? So these young people need to learn. These young people in gospel— somebody 2 years old trying to tell me, in the spirit, trying to tell me about getting up early. The reality is it's a sacrifice, and God honors that sacrifice. Okay, he talked to y'all about correction last night too, so that's what's happening right now. We have to really adjust our mind. Glory to God. So that we could move to new places. That stuff he taught was so heavy, you can't walk in it without sacrifice. All right, now back to my scripture. Daniel 11:32: And such as violate the covenant, he shall pervert and seduce with flatteries. And the people who know their God— say, know their God— shall prove themselves strong and shall stand firm and do exploits for God. I want to talk really around this. I'm going to build this whole teaching around this this morning, and I want to talk about apostolic lift. Say that with me. Say apostolic lift. So when you're around apostles, your life should actually change. It won't change if all you getting is revelation and you never make application. I've been saying this for 30 years. Revelation without application is constipation. You're stuck. And I don't care how much you go to church and experience the encounters in church, all the fire and wind that was blowing in here last night, if you don't apply what you hear and your life change doesn't change for real it's in vain. Okay, I'm gonna say this again. If, if you— let me just say it a different way. If, if you go through all of that and your body's still sick, it was in vain. Are y'all hearing this? You got folks that sit on that kind of stuff and go through good church for years and they still have physical ailments. Watch this, they're still broke. Holy hands and empty pockets. All right, good church and negative bank account balances. That's not the will of God. Okay, all right, yeah, it's gonna get worse, so y'all might as well just tap in now. Because I'm, I'm going to challenge you this morning to really be lifted. Because if you're connected to apostles and you have the opportunity— because Ephesians 4:11 said he gave some apostles— so if God gave you an apostle, you wanted a Psalm that got that gift to be led by an apostle, even in a local assembly. Do you realize how blessed you are? Again, just riding on what we've been teaching all month, what Apostle brought last night. When you're connected to apostolic ministry, you yourself are apostolic. I said this early this morning, that's called— this month, that's called apostolic hegemony. It's an extension of the authority and power that exudes out of the apostle. So if you're in the midst of apostles, you have the opportunity to operate at that level in your fear of influence. So you got to be lifted. Say, I must be lifted. Glory to God. Instead of staying stuck, treading water. Are you hearing this? So he says, and such as violate the covenant shall he, he pervert and seduce with flatteries. Who's he? Not God. But when you're not in alignment with covenant, that's an open door in the spirit where God can— watch this— he'll regress many times so he can teach you a lesson and allow you to have perverted thinking and be flattered by things Like Apostle taught last night, popularity. Flattered by likes and clicks. Some of y'all didn't sleep last night, not because we got out of church late. You didn't sleep last night because you was up looking at your picture trying to see who liked it. Are y'all hearing this? Because a lot of you are corrupted by flattery. Matter of fact, oh, let me go deeper. As powerful as this man is You can be in his ministry, and if you ain't in covenant, you'll never get everything he got because you'll be flattered by how he flow. Oh boy. And you'll still be stuck and never get lifted because you flattered. Oh, oh, you're just so impressed at what he walks in. But have no covenant with God yourself, because that's an open door in the spirit, because you're out of alignment. Okay, all right. The man talked about apostolic aggression. This is aggressive, but you're gonna learn something today, okay? You're supposed to be lifted. Are y'all here? So if— so when you're out of line, man, he pervert, pervert or version, which to create another version of the authentic. That's what perversion is. So perversion is not just man on man— while that is perverted— woman on woman. Perversion is also when you as a kingdom citizen live like a worldly person. And I'm not just talking about you living in sin, but you living out of covenant beneath your privilege. That's perversion. It's not God's will for you to live beneath your privilege. You are a part of a whole nother kingdom, a whole nother system that should be exacted in your life. So I must be lifted. So it starts with proper alignment, not with people and men. It It starts with alignment with God's word and the covenant he's made with us. A covenant is an agreement between one or two parties where both parties vow to uphold their part of the agreement. So God has vowed to uphold his part. Here's a few things in covenant you got available to you, just a few. I ain't gonna get into that, but one, he says Hallelujah. With my stripes you're healed. That's covenant. He's going to uphold that. You're not healed in many instances because of a lack of faith and belief in that covenant. So God's gonna open his part, but you got to believe it. Are y'all here? How about this? Here's another one. Thank you so kindly. Y'all excuse me. Here's another one. He said this, he said, I would that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Are y'all here? He wants you to prosper, but you got to uphold your part of the covenant. What's your part? Soul prosperity. Your soul, your mind, your will, your emotions should be prospering so you could be receiving the part of God's covenant that he wants to give. Because again, it requires two or more to agree. When you're not aligned, you're out of agreement. But here's how we get an agreement. The people who know their God I'm not talking about you with the church, you heard about him, but I'm talking about know him. I met some great people from President Barack Obama on down. I don't know him, I met them. In order to know somebody, you gotta spend time with them, right? And watch this, as a kingdom child, you have to demand that people gain revelation of you through a knowing. Are y'all hearing this? Because where there's no revelation, there's violation. If you don't know who a person is and you really ain't discerned them in the spirit but by your flesh, you'll handle them like you think you're able to do that, not knowing you're coming up against the anointing and time and experience and wisdom, you better know who you're rolling with. Watch this. Apostle was talking about how they used to be around me and how some people couldn't sit under me. Now he's right. But one of the things I taught, and he'll tell you this, they would be around me and serving, but there's a posture they had to keep in that. Are y'all hearing this? And I taught them that I didn't— I never did this. I don't play with people I got to pray for. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here, because when it's time for you to give honor— oh, y'all ain't saying much— you're not going to be able to honor or receive rebuke. Watch this. He talked about it last night, like you should, because we too familiar. It's called the sin of familiarity. Are y'all hearing this? So I, I don't, you know, so I'm not knocking what nobody else do, but the reality is we cannot expect honor when we're always bringing ourselves down to where everybody else is. So in the system of the world, when you show up You got to show up and demand that you be revealed. See, God cannot be recognized. He has to be revealed. Religion just recognizes God. Folk that been to church all their life, they just kind of recognize the flow. It's okay, that's God, that's God, but don't really know him, met him when they got saved. But knowing him comes through time with him. Are y'all hearing this? I've had all of 2 hours of sleep since yesterday sometime, but that's because I've been plowing toward God most of that time for this meeting because it requires sacrifice. Don't get it twisted. The, the move of God that happens when we experience encounters, it comes through somebody's sacrifice. Most people who sit in the pews are benefactors of the sacrifice others are making. This morning I'm trying to challenge you to lift so that you're not only a benefactor but a contributor to the move of God. Are y'all here? So you got to know him. You got to spend some time in prayer. Listen, my daddy is a praying man. He taught me how to pray when I was 5 years old. He taught me the purpose of spending time with God. And I took that and ran with it because I understand I can do nothing without him. And prayer says, God, I want to know you, number one. It shouldn't be this religious thing you do. Now I lay me down to sleep. I hope none of y'all still praying like that. You really need to grow up. You're saying to God, no, I want conversation. I want relationship. I want to know who you are. I want you to invade this space I'm in. Which brings my second point. Prayer also is your earthly license for heavenly interference. It says, heaven, you got a right to enter into my world. Somebody said, well, God already got a right, but he won't enter unless you invite him, and you have to invite him in prayer. Are y'all here? The Bible said people that know God, they'll prove that they are strong and they'll stand in the covenant and they'll do heroic deeds and mighty acts. Heroic deeds, that's exploits. So we should be rescuing the world from themselves. We can't do that until we live apostolically, until we go to that next place. So what am I saying to you? Let's not just experience these services. If you're led by an apostle, let's not just experience that on Sunday morning. Take advantage of the opportunity to be lifted. Are y'all hearing this? Amen. So in this teaching, I want to show you what a divine apostolic lift looks like. To lift something means to raise someone or something to a higher position and perspective. Which means when— after you encounter the person who releases the lift, or the entity of the culture that releases the lift, you have a different perspective about things. You know, there's a paradigm shift in your thinking, and watch this, your behavior and the patterns that you choose to walk out in life to achieve results. Watch this. If you're a married person, you understand that you're never going to have a good marriage if without a good pattern that produces a good marriage. You must practice patterns daily that makes your marriage good. On the flip side, if you want a bad marriage, practice bad patterns, because patterns lead to results. But when you got to change your thinking, your— the way you pattern your life and the way you operate and design what you begin to do. My God, I was anticipating— and I'm still going to have that conversation with you even though you were coming in late. I wasn't anticipating teaching this whole message, but I'm going to give it to y'all. Y'all getting anything out of it so far? Amen. All right, so look at the word lift, L-I-F-T. The latter part of the word is ift. Say ift. Ift. Which means— watch this— ift means to aggressively— there's a word again— push one or an entity or a culture to a higher perspective, to raise them above their current circumstance. Say ift. And so that's what apostles do. So the first thing now, here's the call: God wants to move us from just talking about the apostolic, mentioning the apostolic, to actually manifesting the apostolic calling in all phases of life, not just in church. Okay, can I balance something for you? It's good that we do it in here, but that— watch this— Apostle talked it heavily last night. The apostle's anointing is a sending anointing, so it never was designed to stay in here. When apostles show up in your life, the first thing they do is measure you. If you're around a real apostle, you're gonna get measured. Many times you're gonna feel uncomfortable because they're gonna start trying to push you into things and positions that you ain't comfortable with and you don't really want to do. And you can't really see yourself that that's who you are. So the apostle will stick his hand down in your spirit and start agitating gifts and turning things on that was off. Somebody said, well, where's that scripture? Okay, come here. Timothy and Paul, who is an apostle to a leader, he said, I put you in remembrance of the gift that was placed in you by the laying on of my hands. He didn't say the gift came from God. Oh, y'all ain't got to talk. He said the gift was placed in you because I laid my hands on you. And not what we think, right? He said that word lay means I handled you and I trained you and I introduced you to who you are. So when you tap into apostles, they should introduce you to true identity. And a lot of times that could be a culture shock because nobody really ever told us who we was. We're— many times we're living under the definition of what somebody else said we are. All right, a word that was spoken over us. Are y'all hearing this? And those word curses have driven decisions and patterns that have produced terrible results. Are y'all hearing this? So we need apostles who are not just mentioning Christ and his abilities and his gift, but to help you manifest them. We got a lot of people talking about it. So we are called to reveal him. Another way to put this is not just relay him. You know, relay race, everybody's got the same baton. Only thing different is the runners. Think about this: in a relay race, you got a lead, you got some folk in the middle, you got that last leg who's supposed to be the fastest one. But throughout the race, in the church, that's what we do a lot of. We pass the time a lot and not bring people into their own identity. In a relay race, the only people who are really clear on their job is the lead runner and the end runner. The people in the middle just trying to figure out how to keep up. And most of the time, the church is just trying to figure out how to stay in the race when every one of us has significance. Are y'all here? Touch yourself, say, I have significance. Say, I'm authentic. There's nobody like you, right? There's no handprint like yours. You're unique. If you commit a crime, your fingerprint's gonna be on the gun, on the car where you tried to hijack, whatever you did. They gonna find you if you leave fingerprints at the scene. Because we are uniquely different. God designed it that way. What apostles do is make it okay for you to be you. That's why you need more than just a pastor. You need apostolic leaders in your life that can help you manifest. Are y'all here? Oh, I gotta hit this one. Because I was gonna skip this, but I'm gonna hit it. There must be demonstration over decoration. We've decorated the office, got a lot of pageantry that goes with it. Are y'all hearing this? Make it look pretty. The reality is None of that matters if you have no demonstration. There must be a demonstration of apostolic works that flow out of apostolic ministries. It's not how we look. As a matter of fact, I think the problem with this is— thank you, Holy Spirit— is we have patterned things that are powerless. It looked good to us, it appeased to our flesh. Are y'all hearing this? And listen, I've been doing ministry a long time, so there have been seasons in my life where I thought certain things was how I needed to do stuff until in prayer God said, no, I need to shift you away from that because that right there is not necessarily the way this is done. Are y'all hearing this? It was decorated, it looked good. And I'm not talking about compromising excellence because we ought to be excellent, because we will never attract the world without excellence. But the reality is we need some demonstration of God in everything we do. So let's get into this. How do I get apostolic lift? Well, the first thing in order to get apostolic lift— let me give you another word that has the 'ift' in it. The first thing that has to be, there has to be an apostolic shift. S-H-I-F-T. So shifting is always forward. If you drive a car with a transmission and you change gears, those gears are shifting to push you in another direction, right? You're either going forward or you put in reverse, you're going backwards. In this instance, we don't want to go backwards, we want to shift forward. Are y'all hearing this? We want to transfer or transition— watch this— to a new configuration. Oh boy, I remember reading the text one time, changed my life. In, in 2 Corinthians 5:17, you read it before, it says, if any man be in Christ He's a new creation, which means you become another thing. Say that— listen, a caterpillar, when it becomes a butterfly, it's no longer caterpillar. Although it came from the same DNA source, it goes through a metamorphosis where it's no longer a caterpillar. You can't call it a caterpillar. It don't look like a caterpillar. So wait a minute, if you're, if you're changing and you go through metamorphosis, or metamorphoo in Greek, where you're transforming your mind, transforming your life, you're becoming a new person, you ought to be all the way different. So the shift requires total transformation. Say the word. Say total transformation. There's some things I've done in my life I don't do them no more because I'm transformed. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. There's some places I used to go I don't go no more because I'm transformed. You can't take me to a strip club. I was with some of my clients, it was like, well, what we got through with the meetings and talking about business, what we doing after this? Everybody's done. We're going to Magic. I'm like, no, y'all going to Magic. I'm going home. Are y'all hearing this? Because I'm transformed. Okay, that's a whole nother message for another day. The reality is, why am I gonna go pay to look at something I can go home and look at free? Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. Hallelujah. You're gonna spend all, all your money going down there to Magic, but your mind need to be renewed. Got a preacher friend in North Carolina. He wasn't transformed, Apostle, and he messed up and went to the strip club. This wouldn't happen to you when you're not transformed. Preaching, teaching, laying hands on folk, prophesying. Said, I'm gonna go to a strip club in another town that ain't even my town. That's what he said. It's always somebody watching you. And I feel Red Fox, you big dummy, in this, in this day and time, in this day and time, everybody got a phone with a camera. Why would you— and somebody know you, you all on Facebook taking pictures everywhere you go. You got all these followers. People know you, man. That's right, that's right. So he up in the club, back in the corner, think it's dark, nobody see him, getting table dances, everything, putting dollars in the thing. And somebody got a snapshot of him and, and start spreading that picture around. Wow. But his lack of transformation. Are y'all hearing this? Anytime we get caught in situations where exposure happens— trust me, I've been there— it's because there's a lack of transformation in an area of your life. So we need apostles, and we need to be open to allow them to shift us into new places. Are y'all hearing this? So one, there's got to be a shift in position. Say position. We got to stop building fans and become disciples. We got to move from religious gatherings to assemblies. There's a difference in a gathering and an assembly. Are y'all hearing this? Most of the church today is gathered. They're just laying there with no purpose. I bought my oldest son Michael Jr. a bicycle when he was 2 years old. And if you know me, I'm not mechanically sound to fix nothing, to put nothing together. That's just not who I am, you know. What I can do, I can do it. I can do it well. But that right there, nah, I'm not. My wife will tell you I'm not fixing no pipes. Something break, I'm not fixing no toilet. I ain't cutting no grass. I got money. I'm gonna pay somebody to do it. Are y'all hearing this? I'm not doing that. You can look at me funny all you want. I'm not doing it. If you want me to do that, I'm not the man for you. 'Cause see, her husband, her father was the kind of husband, he was always dirty. Always working, always painting, cutting grass, fixing the floor, building something at the house. No, Shawty, that's not happening with me. I'm not that dude. But what I will do is pay somebody to get done what you need done. Are y'all hearing this? So let's get back to this bike. I'm in the store, I see the bike on the shelf. It's a beautiful bike. And I told the guys, I want that bike right there. So my mind is he pulling that bike down, I'm gonna put that bike in my car. I was okay, yeah, we're gonna be good. I'm gonna sit it under the tree just like this. This dude comes back with this box. He said, here's the bike. I said, no, I said I want that bike. He said, that bike is in this box. So I knew then, because on the outside of the box it said assembly is required. Are y'all hearing this? So I said, okay, we gonna tackle this. Got the box home, waited till Junior got good and sleep, went in my living room and opened the box and poured the pieces out on the floor. And guess what? They were gathered there. The tire, the seat, the handlebars, the brakes, the pedals, the chain, everything just gathered. But when I start assembling and putting things together, now every piece that was gathered there had purpose. The tires now have purpose. They cannot function just gathered. Are y'all here? The seat can't function gathered, just laying there. This is the body of Christ. We gather in churches and nobody knows their purpose because there's no apostolic voice that's bringing assembly, that's pulling it. You know why? Because most leaders are insecure and they fear Teaching someone what they know. I told you earlier, Apostle is a great teacher because he's always been a great student. He writing all these books. I'm still waiting on that one that you got to write about serving, because you are the epitome of service. What? The best, the GOAT of service. I'm serious. The reality is He served all the time without question. I could say, Apostle, we got to drive 6 hours tomorrow, I got to preach. He was in the car ready to go and got me where I needed to be. He never asked a question. He was a second man who operated with a mindset to please God through service. But all that time, I knew he was going to do great things. I knew what was in it, so I knew it was my responsibility to pour into him so that once I deployed him and he started doing things on his own, I would have emptied myself. Apostolic leaders don't fear emptying out themselves. To help somebody else become what they need to be. Glory to God. And I said it last night, a good leader teach people how to do what they do and do it better. A great leader will work himself out of a job. Are y'all hearing this? You teach someone how to do what you do so well that you're not necessary in that space no more. Yeah. Oh God, that was that. Maybe that's too much for Saturday morning, right? Okay. So I got to shift in position. Say, we must be assembled. Yeah, think about all these large churches where people just gathered and they just a number on Sunday. And I'm not saying anything's wrong with that, because let me, let me say this, because I think a lot of times, you know, the small church gives the big church a hard time, but there's a place for it. As a matter of fact, size is important because there's an ecosystem in the kingdom. Many of these churches don't blend into the ecosystem correctly because they have been given that grace not to build kingdoms to themselves. They have that grace, that pastoral grace. Glory to God! To build kingdoms unto God and to take the resources they are blessed with and advance the kingdom and not build their own kingdom on their own corner. Are y'all hearing this? So not all large churches are to themselves. But here's the missing link. They should all employ the services. And when I say employ, I mean just embrace the services, not necessarily hire and pay, but they should embrace the services, the gifting, the anointing of apostles, so that apostles can come in and help them assemble. Oh boy, the church was built on the foundation of apostles and prophets. You know why a lot of apostles, apostles have to end up pastoring? Because the pastors in local assemblies won't open up the realm of their culture to the apostolic gift. So God says, okay, well, I'm gonna let you plant and start and build people yourself and then raise up leaders. Okay, all right, so I'm gonna move. Say, I gotta shift in position. Number 2, you gotta shift in perception. Apostle called it last night an emissary. I'm gonna call it something different right here. It's the same thing. The church is not just an event, right? It's a kingdom embassy. It's a kingdom Oh my God, university— watch this— especially among apostles, where we bring the body in and we— watch this— measure them. I started there. And then we teach you how to manage your gifts. Say management. See, once you measured and you're told, okay, this is who you are, this is what you need to be doing, now you learn how to manage that, develop that. And then the third piece of that, you become a master. We got too many novices. Are y'all hearing this? Too many people with the title who have not mastered. Oh boy, we supposed to be like Jesus, right? Many times you'll read they called him Master. Are y'all hearing this? We should become students. Taking the position of a learner so we can master who we are. But you can't do that if you don't really get properly measured. Okay, Pastor Jeffrey, get Apostle Brandon a mic. I'm gonna throw this at him real quick.

Glory to God.

Say, I must be measured. A metron is on apostles to measure you. So, Pastor, what I'm about to ask you is this: you talked about apostolic warfare last night.

Yes, sir.

And the career of being a warrior. So how does that tie in? What is the warfare behind individuals who refuse to submit to authority? Take the position of a learner. What is it that they are dealing with? Because there's so many renegades out here who are warring alone, who won't submit. So what, what are they facing? What is the mindset of a person that won't take that position of a learner, that won't allow themselves to be measured? And ultimately, where do they end up?

So, um, The Bible talks about that we perish because of a lack of knowledge.

Yeah.

And so one of the words perishing is to live unrestrained or ungoverned.

Yes, sir.

And so there's a, there's a perishing that comes upon us when we lack the government in our life.

Yes, sir.

To, to operate. So what happens is Uh, ignorance is our greatest enemy.

Yeah.

And it's not ignorance cuz you just don't know. It's ignorance cuz you ignored what you need to get just to be who you supposed to be.

Yes.

So ignoring the right knowledge to advance causes you to live an ungoverned lifestyle that you continue to eat the bitter fruit of your choices. So it's not— see, Satan wars against people who are aligned because they're threats. Yeah, but when you align because of rebellion, you have just now given him legal ground. So it becomes, instead of you going through a fight or opposition, you come under his government. So he starts to govern you without you even knowing it.

My God.

Which, which means you come under his type of character in your soul. You come under his character and not even know it because rebellion is witchcraft. So you operate under the realm of witchcraft without even knowing it by being unaligned. So now you, now you're, you're releasing prophecy from the wrong realm.

Come on, come on.

Now you're functioning from a realm that's not the Lord, but it's just a realm that you know how to function from because you've learned the skills of it, but it ain't necessarily the Lord operating in your life. So that type of warfare, again, It's not that you're, you know, it's not the opposition that, you know, we go through because we are aligned and we are submitted. But it's, it's a, it's a type of government that brings you under a type of chaos. This is why you see so many people in the body are full of instability, full of chaos, full of adventures. They're not really, uh, they don't really have a clear purpose of where they're going, but they're just going, they're bouncing place to place, trying to fit into a place because they are not submitted or aligned anywhere.

Come on. Ooh, good stuff.

So yeah, jeez, hope that helps somebody.

That's good, that's good. I, I, I ask that because many a times people don't become the emissary, the embassy you talked about, because they are subject to that other structure, that other government. Because they've been sent by that government. It's a perfect, perfect answer. Okay, so, so again, say, I must lift. Say, in order to live, I have to shift. You got to shift in position, perception. Now here's number 3: you got to shift in paradigm. A paradigm is how you view a thing. But actually how you respond to it in action. So paradigm is not just perspective, is seeing it and doing it. So here's what the church has to do, and apostles help us do this. We gotta go from foundations of thrills and frills and chills. Because we, we like to have these foundations where we get, you know, thrilled and, oh, we get goosebumps on our skin because of what we experience. But we really got to have from foundations to foundations of Christ-centered habitations. So we need foundations of habitations that are centered on Christ, not the man. Apostle hit this last night too, uh, iconolistic church idolatry. The church is very iconolistic. Most people go to a church and yeah, they go to see the person who's standing holding the mic. Are y'all hearing it? All right, most people in there— and I've been to all these pastor conferences, I've studied church growth, and I've And you know, it just gets tiring. And you know, I was at one, I just got up, I had paid like $500 for the registration. I was there one day and just got up, packed up my stuff. I said, I can't take it no more, Lord. And I just walked out because I said, I'm gonna just let them have this money because the stuff is crazy. Because they are basically training leaders, watch this, to be great communicators so people will respond to them. Not pray, not fast, not spend time with God, not pray for your ministry. Matter of fact, you have vendors there selling outlines to teachings. Are y'all hearing this? Teachings that grow your church. They have series you can teach every month that will assure your church will add 200 people in 12 months. One vendor was selling that system for like $1,500. It was a line wrapped around his table like a tagline. And these are pastors, so you know they're all preaching the same thing. Ain't nobody prayed to get a word what people actually need. Stuff— watch this— because you could be a great communicator and have the latter, and the latter killeth. But the Spirit makes alive, and you only get that unction— and we talked about that this morning, 5 o'clock prayer— that unction that comes from the Holy One. He's Shabbat, not the unction that comes from man. But when heaven superimposes itself upon you, there's an unction from the Holy One that changes everything in the room. Oh God, we must stop reading to preach. Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me here. I don't read to preach. I study for me. I study to know God. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. I don't read for my message. I pray for my message. Oh God, we gotta stop ChatGPTing to preach. Ah, a lot of you, AI is going to be your extinction. You're gonna lose who you really are because you spend so much time with ChatGPT, ask him how to outline your message and telling you what to say. No, pray. God is real. Oh boy, maybe that's not for the people in this room. Maybe it's for somebody that's gonna watch it. We must pray to preach. Because we need Christ-centered habitations, not showing up because the preacher has a million followers. Apostle, hit that right quick. Just— I know you got something on that. I see it all on your face. Yes, you do.

I'm seeing it as you talk. But, uh, we should always preach from the realm we pray from.

Yeah, yeah.

And if we're not getting updated in the glory, we become obsolete. Jesus, just as technology got to continue to be updated, so should leaders continue to be updated. And if you, if you don't get updated, you're going to be outdated. You're going to be an outdated technology toward people that continue leaving them shallow.

Talk, sir.

Instead of you being updated to to lead them into deep waters. So that's what we have. We have a lot of outdated leadership that's continuing to put people in the kiddie pool. But God is— God is that fresh message he gave to Peter. It's time to launch into the deep.

Yes, sir.

So there are depths that the church has not hit yet because leaders haven't hit it first.

That's so good, Apostle. We're going Did you hear the meat of that though? You should always preach from the dimension that you pray from. Glory to God. And if you don't have no prayer life, you don't have any business preaching. But watch this, everybody's preaching without prayer. Because watch this, I'm telling you, ChatGPT is going to make a lot of people extinct. Glory to God. Go to Ezra 3. Let's just read this, verses 11 and 12. This is how we get a Christ-centered foundation. Glory to God. The Bible said they sang responsively. Wait a minute, let's just stop right there. So when singing is going on in the sanctuary, it ain't for you to have the stature ministry. You the Martin Luther King Monument in DC. Just everybody's singing, you ain't saying nothing. That's the scripture says they sang responsibly because we're not singing to satisfy the worship leader or the person that's up here with the mic leading us, the Levite that's leading us in worship. We're doing it because we're trying to touch heaven. So you respond in one accord because we're trying to touch heaven. They sang response. So I can't sing? Well, you know, you're not trying to win a Stellar Award. You're singing unto the Lord. Are y'all hearing this? I mean, y'all see me singing all the time. I'm not a singer. But I sing to Jesus, and I can care less what you think, whether it's in key. Pastor Jeffrey be over there like, okay, I'm gonna find this dude one day. But at the end of the day, I don't care. Are you just gonna have to find it or put it wherever it need to be? I'm gonna sing. Watch it. He said we sang responsibly. Why? Praising and giving thanks to the Lord, saying, for he is good. This is why we're singing, because his goodness— for his mercy and loving kindness endure forever toward us. Watch this. And all the people shouted with a great shout. Let me stop right there. When you read shout in the Bible, it's not tap dancing. In the body of Christ, we've called shouting dancing. You shout with your mouth. You dance with your feet. Are y'all hearing this? I just think the church needs a lesson in that because people will tell you, oh, we shouted a while today, and all they was doing was dancing. You shout with your mouth, and 9 times out of 10, you either gonna shout cause you excited about something, right, or you mad at somebody. Are y'all hearing this? Most people will shout when they get angry in a minute, but every time you come to church, there ought to be a shout in your belly. Are y'all hearing this? They say, I'm going to the house so I can shout unto the Lord. That's why everything with me is loud. I like loud sound. I, I like rock band sound. I went to a rock and roll concert one time when I was younger. Because I went with a friend who was into that. And I'm like, girl, you— she was of the other persuasion. Okay. Yeah, thank the Lord. Okay, thank the Lord. Glory to God. Yes. So I was dating her in, in college, right? Okay. And, uh, anyway, she took me to this rock and roll concert, but what I'm telling you, it was so loud in there My ears were ringing for days when I came out. But you know what, I like the connection the sound made with the people because they were going crazy because it was so loud. He said shout, that means get loud. The Hebrew word is shabach, it's to express yourself with a loud tone. It's a sound that goes from your belly to God's ear. Are y'all hearing this? So they shouted and praised the Lord with a great shout. And when they praised the Lord— watch this— they did it because the foundation of the house of the Lord was laid. They shouted because there was a foundation, there was a habitation of Jesus Christ in the foundation. So when you know you're in a culture where Jesus is the center and not man, Watch this. You shouldn't wait till a man gets up before you praise. The service shouldn't again have 20 statues just— and then when the man gets the mic, everybody— ah, I thought I read somewhere, I will enter his gates with thanksgiving. So when you get out your car, there'll be something stirring in you, man. I'm coming to give God praise. I'm coming to give God glory, not based on who's here, who's preaching, because in the apostolic house, the apostle might not be there. Are y'all hearing that? It might be another leader, but you should come and make it hard on everybody because you come with your temperature turned all the way up. Are y'all hearing this? Apostle, you want to hit that? Okay, all right, all right. Say, I got a shift. So in order to lift, there's got to be shift. Secondly, in order to lift, here's another word with an IFT. I'm almost done. There must be sift. So there's got to be shift. Now there's got to be sift. Oh boy, sift means to refine, to purify, to separate. What's this? To strain a thing, to examine it. Most of us are afraid to really look at ourselves. This morning the Lord instructed us in prayer to put— and we was reading the scripture, and we— because we were praying through this word of being God-inside-minded. Because you really can't be apostolic if you're not God-inside-minded. And so we were praying about that flame that's on the inside of us that shows us who we really are. Most people only want to see the good. You don't understand the necessity of a shift until you can see the hidden things in your heart. Are y'all hearing this? Some of you are not delivered, you're just not cooperating with the demon. You just ain't had the right opportunity. You know you deliver when you can walk past it and say no. Are y'all hearing this? When you can look at it and say, boy, that surely is fine, but I'm gonna keep going. See, y'all ain't talking. See, I wish I had some real folk in here. See, y'all acting like your eyes don't work. You have to be able to say, okay, yes, God has done a great thing right there, but we gonna keep going. Are y'all hearing this? Are y'all hearing me? Okay, okay, maybe it's just me. My eyes still work. I'm saved. Are y'all not talking to me here? But I ain't— I had a preacher friend one time in college. This boy was like, man, we just need to pray that Lord take our desire for women. I said, no, you prayed that, bro. I'm not praying that because God hear me when I pray, and I don't want him to take that from me. How I'm gonna know who my wife is? How I'm gonna know what I'm attracted to if he takes that? No, so you— no, we ain't in agreement. So you— yeah, you just gonna talk to God by yourself on that one. Well, we— I guess I mean, I got to get my flesh under. So if God just— no, you— he said bring it under subjection. Anything that's not going away, you got to control. And I'm saying that, and it's comical, but you got to be willing to look at the parts of you that, given the right opportunity— listen, I got tested yesterday. I knew I was delivered from cussing. Y'all ain't got to talk to me. I was picking Apostle Kirby up at the airport. So you know, you got these security guards at the airport. So he told me to go right there. I told him something about to pick this gentleman up, and, uh, he said, go ahead and swoop in. So I swooped in, and then he started banging on my car. I didn't tell you to do that. He started hollering and all this, and you know, everything in me was like, get him! And I was like, no, devil, you're a liar. I'm free from cussing. 'Cause I was about to, you know, I was about to really say something to this boy. So I got, I said, "Sir, calm down." I said, "I just only obeyed what you told me." Are y'all hearing this? Look how y'all looking at me. 'Cause you done been cut off in traffic and be wanting to say something. Or your hand be doing this and you be wanting to, you know. Yeah. I'm just trying to help you look at that thing because none of us are perfect. Because even if you don't do it, you thought it. Are y'all hearing this? Uh-huh. Yeah, some say, well, I am. Yeah, but you thought about it. And Jesus said, watch this, if you look on it and think on it and lust in your heart, you've already committed the act. Oh, and I— listen, I'm just the one— I'm— thank God for deliverance. Glory to God. Because I used to be, okay, if I look at it and lust, I gotta repent. We might as well just gonna do this. Y'all ain't gotta talk to me. I'm just trying to help you. If I'm gonna be crying and repenting I said sin is sin.

Yes, sir.

But I'm just trying to show you that once I identified I needed deliverance, I need change in my life so that I won't even be having them conversations. Are y'all hearing this? You got to sift that stuff out of your life that don't belong. Y'all still looking at me like y'all left heaven to come to church this morning and your chariot is outside waiting to carry you back to glory. The devil is a lie. You done thought something, and you probably gonna think something for you. At least some of y'all be in church, you can't even tap in. You be one eye open at God and another one open at something else. Listen, we need sifting in our hearts so that it strains and examines those impure motives. Apostle, you got something on that?

Just so true, Apostle. And that's— and I, and I, you know, the Lord, the Lord knew that we were coming out of a lifestyle of flesh, nothing but flesh, nothing but carnality. And so he would instruct us in Romans 12 to shift your mind. You talk about shift. Lift your mind in ascension to think on the way, his ways. But at the same time, he understood that it's easy to shift out of the spirit into carnality. So he would give us the fruit called self-control because he understands that, you know, we've been living out of control and out of order all our life. So I got to put self-control in you that when you get into situations that will cause you to go back into that chaos, you can control yourself. That's why, that's why Paul talks about him, uh, buffeting his own body. You know, he's, he's really saying, I got to walk in the spirit so I won't fulfill those lusts that's in the flesh. So in that, in those moments that you're being tempted to be pulled into the flesh, you have to shift the way you think to pull yourself back into the spirit, even though your flesh wants you to focus on what's flesh, you know. And so self-control helps, I'm telling you, because we was at Spondévités last night.

Yes.

And, uh, we were crowded.

There was the blessing of the Lord all around us, right?

We was crowded, and I'm in a spot where people got to get by me, and these— I mean, these ladies just kept bumping into me with they behinds, and I'm like, you know, I'm trying to move. Yeah, so I'm trying to move. They just kept bumping into me, you know. And so, but I had to keep my self-control because, you know, they wanted to pull me into the flesh. But I couldn't. I couldn't do that because, you know, you got to realize who you are in the kingdom. You can't just do what you want to do or what the flesh try to pull you into because you're, you're an example to people. They're reading you as an epistle.

Yeah.

And so you got to— we have to always think in that realm so we won't be pulled into the wrong realm. So self-control guided me last night because I, you know, just like Apostle was saying, I can't— you know, before I got saved, I came out of a promiscuous life. You know, I was a basketball player, coach. You know, it was crazy, you know. But when God started maturing me, I started focusing more on how to keep myself controlled and not get back into that lifestyle. Because tell— I'm telling you, when you become a preacher, it gets worse. Temptations with women gets worse. If you're a woman that you came out of it, the temptation with men gets worse, because that's what the devil wants to try to pull you back into, because he understood that was your weakness before you came into the kingdom. So he'll amplify these things. But God says, I'm gonna give you self-control so you can guard yourself in purity against things that want to try to pull you back into it. Think about it. If you look at the body of Christ, the greatest men are pulled down because they fall into those traps. You get what I'm saying? Without self-control. Uh, but at the end of the day, the Lord will use people as models that know how to bounce back. To cause you to be one that can see what happened with them and, and have wisdom function out of you. So it— so, so, so many people's lifestyle can be wisdom to you if you pay attention to the wisdom and apply it to your life. So, you know, at the end of the day, self-control, we need it, and God knew it, and so we need to keep functioning in it. Amen.

Praise God. That's good stuff, Apostle. So watch this. The Bible says Jesus was tempted and tried on all points, yet without sin. So he gave us the example. If he could do it, we can. But here's what I want you to understand. Go ahead. Temptation is not sin. It's a test. Matter of fact, it is the Septuagint transliteration of a Greek word, nasa, which means to test by stress and pressure, by that which you desire. So you'll never be tempted with something you don't want. You can't tempt me with a fifth of Hennessy. The devil might— what, he don't even bring that to me. You can't tempt me with no crack or weed. No, he knows what I like. Are y'all hearing this? But you have to watch this, understand temptation is not going away. Jesus was tempted in all parts without sin. It's going to keep coming until you conquer it. Are y'all hearing this? So you can be without that sin. So that's how— why I said earlier, you know you're delivered when you can walk past the temptation and say, yeah, I see you, but can't touch you. Are y'all hearing this? Because when— and when you've been there, done that, and you understand the result of what sin will do— sin will make you pay more than you want to pay. And it'll make you stay longer than you want to stay. And you have to decide, I don't want to go through that, I want to conquer this thing. Glory to God. I'm so delivered, man. I, I used to say this with a straight face, but I could say it with a straight face now. You could put me in a room with Beyoncé and she could be ready to do everything I want to do, I'm gonna tell her no. Oh yeah, I'm just saying, I'm serious right now. Somebody said that's raw. We all grown in here. Look how y'all looking at me. I'm just trying to help you because there's a day I couldn't say that. All right, she'd have been calling Jay-Z saying, Jay-Z, I'm never coming home again. Okay, let me move, let me move. Felicia not here and I'm acting up too much. Let me move. Let me move. Yeah, blue Ivy, let me talk to your daddy. Okay, let me move. Let me move. But temptation is not going away, and anything that's not going away You got to control. So some things God ain't going to take. He gives you the mature responsibility to control it so you can be the example that you can be in the world of not of the world. Are y'all here? Well, give God some praise. Y'all agree with this? Amen. Hallelujah. So say, we gotta sift. We gotta sift the heart. And secondly, we gotta sift the house. Listen, you can't put new wine in old wineskins. So you gotta sift cultures of church where you— we can't pour the old the new into these old skins. The Bible said they're going to burst. It's not going to work. They can't hold it. So what does this mean? We got to expand our capacity to receive new wine. Oh boy, we can't revert back to what makes us comfortable when God is moving us higher. Oh God, sometimes In worship, God will do different things, and if we're not comfortable with what he's doing— I think a couple of weeks ago, Shannon, and you posted something about this— the weight of God's glory was in this house in a strong way. And if you weren't tapped in, you wouldn't have known what was happening, right? But there was a glory cloud in here that was pressing everybody body down to the floor. Shannon said angels literally carrying her to the feet of Jesus. Matter of fact, the Lord spoke that angels are here to carry us to his feet to worship. But if you didn't understand what was happening, you'd have been like, okay, why we ain't dancing? You know, why, why we ain't singing a song right here? But sometimes We have to be open to— not sometimes, all the time— we need to be open to what God wants out of a culture instead of trying to introduce the old wineskins to make people feel good. And that's another thing about these pastors' conferences, man. They be telling you, okay, you're there for the people. You want your church to grow, you must please them. So y'all already know I was ready to go. That's not what we're here for. We're here to please Jesus, and what he wants, he gets. So if it means we have worship for 2 hours or 3, that's the culture we present. You know, sometimes as an apostle, God will get you to do stuff that you don't understand why you're doing it at the time. And for a season, God had me submit under this gentleman out of Birmingham, Alabama. And I got a lot of respect for him because there are some things I need to learn from him. But God had me under him at that time because there's some things I need to give him. And I knew when it came to the appointed apostle, when I had to give him what I was there to give, it was going to put strain on the relationship. Because watch this, iron sharpens iron, right? And if you clear about who I am, then whatever I bring to the table You know, either you're gonna be open to receive this or not. And if you're not, you— we still in maturity should be able to keep functioning in the relationship. Right. As soon as I dropped that thing, one, because he, you know, he, he's an apostle, but I start introducing him to how the shift in his culture should look. If you're an apostle, it's not just entitled, right? It's not just in planting churches. It's not just in covering other leaders. Something— you carry a culture in you, and you should be releasing that culture on these people. And these people— if I'm in your church and you say you're an apostle and nobody speaks in tongues. Okay, I'm talking about nobody. This dude got 3,500 members. No one has a prayer language. And so basic things like, why? I'm gonna tell you why. Because you don't pray in tongues, and I don't even know if you really believe that it's necessary. So as we have this conversation, I feel him pulling back because he's attracted to— he wants that 3,500 to become 35,000. That's his mindset. But you don't get that when you start trying to introduce new wineskins. It don't happen that way. Are y'all hearing this? All right, so we got to sift the house. 3, we got to sift habits. So we got to sift hearts, house, habits. Watch this. Oh, Apostle, you got to hit this one. Mentalities melt under the fire of God. How does fire, Apostle, affect our mindset? It's a whole—

yeah, it's a whole thing. Um, so the Bible says that it talks about that mountains melt like wax.

Come on.

In the presence of God, it can't be a melting if there's not a fire. So when God's fire hits a mountain— mountains in Hebraic would represent that which stands above the rest, which deals with pride. And so when you deal with pride, the fire will melt pride.

Yeah.

So God's fire will go into your soul to melt the things that's causing you to rise above— watch this— the knowledge of God.

Come on, sir.

You know, the Bible talks about exalting itself against the knowledge of God. And so when we are walking in cultures that's against God's ways, against his character, against how he does things, like he talks about, uh, being an apostle, you don't pray in tongues, If you see biblically through scripture, the apostles are the ones who laid hands for people to be filled with tongues. So why are you not praying in tongues when the apostles lay hands to get people filled to pray in tongues? Which, which is because he's been, he's been birthed out of a culture full of pride that goes against the ways of God. Y'all, y'all get what I'm saying? So these doctrines come that sets up strongholds in people's mind that we don't need that type of, uh, administration from the Lord. But, but if you're gonna build something biblically instead of building something that you've seen from somebody else, if you're gonna build from the pattern of the Lord, you're gonna have to humble yourself to receive all of the ways that come out of the biblical pattern. And so, so many people are uplifted into trying to be successful the world's way instead of building from the blueprint from the mountain of God, that we, we neglect the fire of God that can keep us humble. Because fire will humble you, but at the same time guard your gates. So these things that try to come in, the fire will guard you against it. Matter of fact, Fire will guard you against being offended. If you still offended in an area, you ain't burning there. That's why people can't really take correction, because they ain't burning in that area. Because fire will cause you to be humble. This is why people can't, uh, seem to move past this, this current, uh, uh, trend of trying to blend in instead of being who God patterned them to be. Because fire is not burning in that area. So we got to, we got to build cultures that are full of the flame so that God's will can continue to be done. That's why it's one of the reasons he told Timothy, he says, he told him what he said, stir up the gift. That word stir, he was talking about agitation. Agitate the inner flame that's on the inside of you because you got to understand Fire shifts your government. I ain't talking about this political thing. I'm talking about the government of God that takes you back to originality.

Yes, sir.

Who you supposed to always be. That, that government in you will be shifted by fire. When Moses met the bush, his whole government shifted. He went from going around 40 years and, uh, leading somebody else's sheep into leading a whole nation.

Why?

Because the inner flame in him got stirred. So when he said, Timothy, stir up that flame, stir up the government that I gave you originally about yourself so you can come into it. So if you ain't burning, you'll never come into who you're called to be.

Yeah. Y'all give God praise for that. Heavy. So when fire comes, it consumes. So when something burns up, it's gone. So when we build these cultures of fire, things should be leaving our life. Mentalities, bad thinking. And here's the word I want to leave you with on that note. When we start sifting, we got to stop trying to revive what God ended. Oh, I mean, Apostle Maine mentioned some generals last night, like Bishop Mason and all these guys, William Branham, Smith Wigglesworth. But here's the reality: God is progressive. He wants to do more. Are y'all hearing this? Than what those gentlemen did. But so we can't repeat Azusa. God wants to do something greater than Azusa. Are y'all hearing this? You got some people now that's having Azusa conferences trying to duplicate that. That's not what we're called to do. Watch this. God want to do something greater than Pentecost. And the day of Pentecost was phenomenal, but God wants us to do greater works than this. Go ahead, Apostle.

Just real quick, you was talking about earlier, if it stays in this church setting, then, you know, it don't move anywhere. Think about this. Pentecost happened in a room.

Come on, right?

It happened, it started in a room. If they would have never been carriers of Pentecost outside of the room, watch this, the move of God would have died in the room.

Come on, sir.

Move of God only spread and reproduced because they came outside of the room as carriers. My God, that they got baptized by.

My God.

So we just continue to have cycles of church and never become carriers. What you encounter in church would die with you in church, and it won't spread.

That's good. That's so good. Y'all got that? Yes, sir. So say this with me. Say, if I'm going to lift, if I'm going to lift, I must shift, I must shift, and sift, and sift. Is the last one. If you're going, glory to God, to lift apostolically and change the world and change your life, it must be swift. Hallelujah. That's the IFT again. There's a lifting in acceleration. Are y'all hearing this? And divine speed. Can I release this to you this afternoon, that every gift in this room, there is a swift anointing of acceleration on your gift, and God is going to do what he's promised he's going to do in you swiftly. But there first must be a sifting. There first must be a shift of your mind so you could tap into this spirit of acceleration. The scripture says, behold, I come quickly. And I'm telling you right now, that's not just in an eschatological sense, in the second return of Jesus. He's coming quickly to us now. Say that with me. Say, the Lord is coming quickly now. Say, I receive him now. I receive his promise now. He said he's coming quickly. So here's some areas. First thing, he's going to cause swift movement. Your connection to apostles and meetings like this— that's why I was telling you it's important to be in every one of these sessions, because 2026 is going to be a year of divine speed. Are y'all hearing this? It's going to be a year where God takes man and supernaturally speeds him up. And all of the things you've been going through, and the stuff that they told you would take 4 years, he's going to do it in 4 months. The stuff that should have took 30 years for you to pay off a mortgage, you'll pay it off in a year because divine speed— oh my God, I feel the anointing here— is going to begin to touch your life. Your car notes you're carrying are going to be eliminated quickly. Student loans are going to be eliminated quickly. A business that should have took 3 years to profit, God said he's going to, with divine speed, begin to swift, swift, swift. I'm releasing the anointing of swift over your life, over your business. Clients that you didn't know was coming. I heard contracts coming from the north, contracts coming from the east and the west. Open doors. I see your book, Swift Apostle, bestselling author. I see God raising those books to new dimension and new levels. Swift! Somebody shouted Swift! Swift! Glory to God. It's going to be swift movement. Things that would have took years will be done in moments. Yeah, go ahead, Apostle. Wow, wow, wow. Somebody say swift. So we can't afford to procrastinate. We can't afford to hold on to things we need to sift out of our life. We can't afford not to shift. So that we can get this swift movement that God's about to do. Secondly, there's going to be swift momentum. This, this is God collapsing the Babylonian system. He's going to give a momentum to the church, to his people, to the body of Christ, to go into the world and collapse the systems of the world, which are fake pseudo models of what the kingdom should look like anyway. The cosmos or the cosmopolitan system, the systems of the world is fake. They're fake representations of what God designed for Earth. You and I should be ruling in every sphere of influence. And I'm telling you, there's about to be a swift momentum that's about— I'm telling you, 2026, this momentum will be released. I'm telling you right now, you got to get in position, sift everything that— oh my God— that could slow you down, because God says speed up. 2026 will be the year you speed up. When you're attacked, speed up. Don't stop praying, pray some more. Glory to God. When you're going through, don't stop fasting, fast more. Speed up, because this thing's about to happen swiftly. God, I'm telling you, even while I'm talking, God is eradicating the spirit of procrastination. Some of you have had dreams and ideas and innovations that God have given you and you keep pushing it to the side. I don't have the money, I don't have the manpower, I don't have the people. But God said, don't— no longer will you depend on natural entities to bring to manifestation a kingdom dream. For God says, I am your King, and I have already provided what you need to bring this thing into fruition. So I say unto you, stop being lazy. And rise up, glory to God, and speed up. Shift your mind, sift everything that's not like me, said the Lord, and I will move swiftly. And your dreams will collapse the systems of the world. I'll raise up doctors and lawyers and politicians who are kingdom-minded. I'll raise up entrepreneurs. I'll raise up even in this room multimillionaires. And even billionaires. God said, I'll give you the momentum if you trust me. Revelation 18:20, he says, rejoice, celebrate over her, O heaven, O saints, people of God, and apostles and prophets, because God has executed vengeance for you upon the earth. Can I tell you, God has executed— it's already happening. This momentum is happening. You don't have to seek revenge. God has already executed vengeance. You know, that's why you got to sift out bitterness and unforgiveness, because these things can hinder the blessing of God. He's already redeemed you. Oh God, say momentum. Say it's happening swiftly. Last thing, there's a swift mandate. This is no time to delay obedience. Obey quickly. Hear me. Don't worry about— if God says it, do it. Don't worry about the resources. Are y'all hearing me? Because God says this thing is about to happen. So if— when you obey— I said it last night when I was reading the text— he said, I'll withhold no good thing from you because you walk upright before me. I'll give you grace and glory. And I'm telling you, it's coming. Quickly. We've been in the— hallelujah— second-class seat too long. God is moving us to the first-class part of the plane. Hallelujah. Swiftly. I was on a commercial plane the other day, and I said, you know what, God, I need my own plane. I'm tired of dealing with this stuff, waiting in lines, going through security. I All I said, Lord, just give me my own plane where I can just drive up to it, get on it, go on, go, come back the next day. God say, I'm gonna do it for you swiftly. I receive it in the name of Jesus.

Amen.

Your healing is coming swiftly. Single ladies, your husband is coming swiftly. You just got to get yourself ready. She said, I receive that with enthusiasm and boldness. I receive that. Her voice changed and got deeper. God's doing it swiftly. Boss, you got something you want to say to close us out, man? We're going to take a moment to take some questions. If you have some questions for Apostle and I, uh, we're going to open the floor right now for you to ask those based on what we've taught, what you've heard, apostleship. Any questions you have, uh, we're here and we want to serve you in that capacity, uh, this afternoon. So the floor is now open. Thank you, Lord. Questions, comments, concerns? Hallelujah! Glory to God! Y'all good? Did y'all receive? Praise God! Give God praise and glory! Hallelujah! Wonderful Savior! Were we live, Mario? Oh wow, okay. Yeah. Yes, ma'am. Measured. Yes. So then how does that How does it come about, like finding out, or how does the next conversation happen where you begin to speak about what you perceive and then that person then developing into that?

Like, what is that process?

How does that begin? Boss, you got something on that? Or I'll answer and I'll let you follow up. So, it happens really organically. Um, just by being in a culture, being under the teaching, through prophetic words, through counseling, the apostle carries an architecture inside of them. That design is not just for themselves and for the vision God gives them, but the ability to be an architect is also for the people and the metron to measure So he— an apostle, he or she should be able to see the design over your life. I always say this: prophets prophesy, apostles bring it to pass. I'm gonna say it again. A prophet's prophesy, apostles bring that word to pass because we carry the architecture and the strategy in us. So let's say Apostle Brandon gives you a word and I hear it, immediately the architecture in me is going to start stirring for your word because you're connected to my leadership to give you the architecture and the design on how to strategize and bring that word to pass. Most people get a lot of prophecies that never come to pass because the apostles don't release strategies to show them how to bring it to pass. Are y'all hearing this? Because prophecy ain't just some spooky thing happening from heaven. No, it actually is a strategy behind it. Apostle talked about it last night. There's stuff you got to do. You, you, you can't just be and think stuff gonna drop out the sky. No, he told you, I prophesied those books. He had to write them books. They weren't gonna write theyself. He couldn't look at the computer and the paper saying, in the name of Jesus, Yeah, he could have used AI, but I know he didn't do that. No, the reality is you got to put in the work, but the apostle should make that easier. And that's why when you follow apostles, you shouldn't be ashamed to go to them and say, I got this on my heart, and what do you feel? Can you measure this? Can you weigh this? And Pastor Jeffrey is an expert at that. He'll call me and say, 'Apostle, I'm doing this, we just want to put this on here, what, what, what you think?' You know, and I always tell him what God tells me. I give him the strategy to design based on what he's asking. This is why we exist. Anyone that arrogantly you can't connect to to talk about strategy for your life, you might be in the wrong place. Are y'all hearing this? Anybody calling him an apostle wants to release that design in your life. You got something, Apostle?

Um, when prophets release, that's the realm of revelation.

Yes, sir.

When apostles Again, like I talked about last night, when you refuse apostolic, you refuse wisdom. So wisdom is the skillful ability to get the thing done that was released as revelation, because the revelation is the blueprint. But then the apostle takes it, like he said, the construct in them gives you the wisdom on how to build it because they're wise master builders. And so once they give you the counsel and they give you the wisdom, now you, you have to do something with what they said. You see what I'm saying? So it's, it's, it's not on, uh, the apostles to do it for you. It's on them to give you the strategy on getting it done, and you got to do something with it. If you never do something with it, then your life will stay the same. Watch this. Before you even got that prophecy, prophecy. It'll stay the same.

Yeah.

So the prophecy releases a grace to build, but you get the strategy to build.

Yeah.

So, so there's grace that comes from the revelation, but then the apostle gives you the wisdom to skillfully apply what grace has already been released through prophecy.

Yes.

It makes sense. So if you do nothing with it, then you're going to stay the same as you always been. Watch this, before the prophecy ever came, you'll stay that same person. But when the prophecy come, this is to release a new dimension into your life, to be somebody that God had already anciently spoken over you. But now you walk out through the process of it. Makes sense.

Okay.

Yeah. Okay.

Good stuff. Good stuff. And let me, let me just, add to this. Even Apostle, a lot of times, would— like Pastor Jerry, Apostle get a word and he'll have it recorded, he'll send it to me and say, Apostle, what you think about this? And that's— and I'll even do the same thing with him with stuff, because that's what apostles do. We discern strategy on how to receive things and how to bring things forth that are spoken into our life by God. Yeah, that's the measuring dimension.

Can I say one more thing?

Yeah.

So all prophecy got to be judged.

Yes.

So the measuring also comes in the dimension of us measuring the word to make sure that's from the Lord too. Yeah, because a lot of stuff that's being released ain't necessarily from the Lord. It's from, uh, a lot of times people can tap into the desires of your heart that ain't even from the Lord, and they can speak it as, as if it was truth, and you'll agree with it because it's in your heart, but it ain't necessarily from the Lord. So that's another measure that apostles have in your life to weigh out what's God and what's yours.

Yeah, and you've recently experienced that. We just recently had a conversation about that. And everybody else was saying one thing, and when you talk to me, it was different. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Any more questions?

Yes, yes, ma'am. Um, I've heard submission and alignment, and my question is, can you have a pastor and an apostle that are not living fellowship? If so, how? That's loaded. Boss, you want to hit that first? Well, I think, first of all, let me answer from this standpoint, because God is the progenitor of everything. He's the creator of everything. So if God orchestrates that for your life that way, then who's the questioner? Ideally, however, my personal opinion is that we do everything in agreement. First of all, that pastor, if he ain't in covenant with that apostle, is not going to agree with that. One, because many a times most pastors don't understand the role of the apostle, and pastors are possessive. So it's like they shepherd, so they don't want their sheep being led by someone they have not given credibility to, or they don't have covenant with. In other words, a pastor is thinking, if it ain't coming through me, you don't need to do it. And oftentimes that's going to cause confusion, it's going to cause division, and many times the person doing that is going to get discouraged and just say, you know what, forget this. So the hard piece becomes making a choice, because it's almost like having your cake and eating it too. You really have to make a decision. I, I wish Felicia was here. She can give you a testimony, because Felicia, when she first came to our church, um, she was a member of a church that she had been a member of since she was like 6 months old. That was since a baby. Her pastor was a great pastor, but he had led her as far as he could. Are y'all hearing this? All right. And although she knew that, she would visit our church in the evening, and we were having a Saturday night service. She would come on Saturday night, but she wasn't leaving that church until one Sunday. She came on a Sunday morning. I was preaching, and she jumped up before she knew it at the end and gave her life to the church. And she, when she got back to her seat, she said, what have I done? I done left that church. But God had been telling her, you're, you're comfortable, you're complacent, and you're not growing. She was ignoring that. And she knew that's why she kept coming over, because she would get what she was not getting in that pastoral house. And her— she was designed to be cultivated by apostolic ministry. And he gave some apostles— everybody's not called to be pastored by an apostle. Everybody's not an apostle, but also everybody ain't called to serve with apostles. Everybody can have contact through meetings and stuff, but it has to be a grace because you won't be able to take it. Are y'all hearing? Are you— some people need to be under pastor because they need, like Apostle was talking about last night, the breast. I almost said something else. They need that. They need it. Y'all hearing this? They need to be breastfed. They need to be. And I just— and Felicia, I wish she was here because she could tell you about her service. She wanted me to pastor. I'm like, I'm not no pastor. I'm not here to breastfeed you. You want pastor, go back over there where you came from. But I'm here to pull out of you what was in you. I want you to start flowing in who you are. I can't do that if I'm breastfeeding you every time you got an issue. You got to learn how to pray. You got to learn how to talk to God. You got to learn how to make sacrifice. Are y'all hearing this? So, long answer in a nutshell, the answer is no, unless God ordained that. And if God ordains that, in a perfect world it works. Um, but I don't think any person under a pastor, with respect to the pastor, should do that without the pastor knowing. That's— I mean, that's out of order. Are y'all hearing this? All right, Apostle.

Oh yes, like you say, in a, in a, in a, in a place where there is mutual agreement, order, if the pastor and the apostle have humility and they can collaborate with you because they're two different graces and each grace can feed you in some type of manner. Each grace can help you. But if they are again able to collaborate without competition and without pride, it'll work. Um, but again, a lot of times because it's a friction, people have to eventually make a choice, you know, where, where do they want to grow in their spiritual walk? Do they want to stay under, you know, submission to the pastor that continues to nurture? And, you know, it's a grace that empowers you in a certain dimension, but then you're missing this apostolic fruit, you know. And so sometimes it comes— I had to do that one time. I was under a pastor And, um, this is before I met Apostle Woods. And then all of a sudden, God kept putting me in his path, and eventually I visited his church. And so I was visiting him and still under the, you know, the other pastor. And so, uh, you know, but I, I had so much hunger to grow. Every time I came around his ministry, I came alive. And so eventually I shifted, I left, you know, to become who I am now. Honestly, it was the road to me becoming who I am now. So it was actually the best choice that I ever made, you know, other than becoming saved and married to my wife and stuff like that. But, um, it was actually one of the best choices that I ever made. But I had to leave what I was familiar with, and I got persecuted for for it, you know. But you got to be willing to go through a pain that you, you can eventually have to cut off instead of continuing to go through the nagging frustration of not growing. You have to be willing to cut us— cut something off swiftly and go through maybe the chatter and all that to, to, to continue to grow. So, so you're soaring while the chatter is still too low. So I would rather soar and get the low chatter than continue to be on the same level as this. And I'm continuing being frustrated because I ain't growing where I need to be. You know what I'm saying? Uh, and another example that works in collaboration, Shannon, Prophet Shannon. Prophet Shannon, Prophet Shannon, uh, we connected, you know, and once we connected, you You know, I became a spiritual father, but then she needed a community because I'm in Mississippi. So I connected her to him, even though he's an apostle. He's, you know, he's still in the shepherd's dimension of this community. She needed a community. So what are we doing? Working together to help her grow. So it's going to, you know, it just depends on the people and the situations. If they can work together, it'll work. But if it's a choice you need to make to grow, then you need to make that choice to grow. That make sense?

Let me make this statement to— well, that's so good, Apostle. Let me make this statement to that, and I want you to take this with you. Think about this: how can— if you need to make a break from something, and this is a relationship or church a job. I want you to think about this statement: how can you be too weak to make the break but strong enough to keep bearing the pain? And I'm gonna leave it right there. Yeah. Any more questions? We bless your name, Jesus. Jesus, we give you glory. Jesus, thank you, Father. We bless you, God. Because sometimes we hold on to stuff God's trying to take. And God's trying to purge it. He said any branch in me that doesn't bear fruit, he takes it away. And we be trying to hold the branch and he's not— yeah, but we got enough strength to keep bearing the pain but not enough strength to break away. Yeah, I give an example. Listen, my daddy is my hero, man. My daddy was in my life but I had to leave my daddy church. Okay, that's my daddy. My dad's still pastoring this city today. He's been pastoring for 45 years. I had to leave my daddy church because I wasn't getting what I needed to be who I am today there. And once I realized that, I had to go. And that was my daddy. He didn't like it. Watch this. The warfare was great because that was my dad. He put strain on our relationship. It even caused the disconnect for years because he felt like, if you can't be in this ministry, how you gonna call yourself my son? Wait a minute, what, what that got to do with anything? But I had to go through that because I never would be— I wouldn't be able to stand here talking to you today if I wouldn't have made that break. But, and now we got a beautiful relationship. And guess what he does? He yet says, you my apostle. Are y'all hearing this? But I never would have got that. He's given me my inheritance from him early by accepting who I am spiritually and creating reconciliation in our relationship, but I had to go. Sometimes you never know why God cuts you away. Sometimes he cuts you away to get what you need so you can go back and help. Yeah, yeah. Any more questions, family? This has been a master class on apostleship today. Yeah. Y'all give God praise. Glory to God. Yes, Lord. Bow your heads. Father, we give you praise. We thank you for this day. Thank you for this meeting, God. Thank you for the vessel of Apostle Brandon Cornelius, how you used him on last night and even how you used him on the day to interject and bring balance to this teaching. Thank you for every person under the sound of my voice. And Father, I'm asking you today that there will be an apostolic lift in our life. Let this not just be another teaching, but let it come alive and let it be manifestation. Father, I thank you for the shift. Thank you for the paradigm shift in our mind, the shift in our position. Thank you that we will trust you with every part of our life. Thank you for the sifting, God. Those things that are in us that are not like you, God. Those hidden things of the heart, sip them out, and let us examine our gifts closely and pay attention to who you made us and who we are in you. And I thank you for the swift anointing to move in the things you've called us to do. And I give you praise and glory that as we cross over into this new year, God, that we'll experience life at the speed of glory, and great things will be manifested in our life. God, I thank you for decisions with precision that make incision, and things we need to cut away, give us the strength to cut them away so we can move to the dimensions and the place that you've called us to. And we give you praise for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. Clap your hands, everybody, and give God praise. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Come on, just a few moments. Let's praise God for the lift. Come on, I need you to praise him like the lift already happened. Come on, open your mouth and shout about it in the this place. Let's give Jesus praise for the lift, the lift, the lift, the lift in your ministry, the lift in your business, the lift in your finance. Come on, praise God for the lift, the lift in your marriage, the lift— in your children. Come on, bless God for the lift, the lift, the lift. Brecke labasa tataya. Come on, dobo sutu rabba. We thank him for the live, the live. God, we thank you for the live. We thank you for the live, the live. And thank you for the sift, that you're sifting everything out of us that's not like you. And we closely examine, God, the gifts, the talents, the anointings, and the options you placed on our life. Come on, praise him for the sif, that he's moving people and cultures and things that do not belong, and he's realigning you with covenant. And you shall know your God in a great and mighty way, for the people that know their God will do exploits. And Father, we thank you for a group of people that's in this —building that will know you, God, and will show up in the world and will rescue the world. Thank you for the shift, God. Thank you that we're moving forward. We're moving higher, forward and higher, forward and higher. I command you, forward and higher, forward and higher. I declare you won't be stagnate. You won't be stuck another day. I declare you're going forward and higher. Leba, your ministry forward, higher. Your business forward, higher. Your family forward, higher.

No more delays, no more delays, no more delays, no more delays. I announce that every process has been eliminated and every delay has been destroyed, and God is doing a thing swiftly in the name of Jesus. Glory to your name, God. We bless your name. Glory to God. We're going to take a moment to give this morning. Glory to God. Hallelujah, hallelujah. We want to bless the Lord and sow into this service. Glory to Jesus. It's more blessed to give than it is to receive. And so, Father, we sow into the anointing that's in the room this morning. And I pray, God, that as many as are led by the Spirit, they will be the sons of God. And Father, I just give you praise for obedience. And even as you will swiftly bless us, may we swiftly obey in our sowing. And we give you praise for that now, in the mighty name of Jesus. Thank you that this budget will be met. Ah, God, I give you praise that we won't come short in this budget. It. We won't lack a thing, neither will we have a care, but every need will be met. God, for all the hotels, flights, and oh my God, food, and for honorariums, we thank you that every expense will be covered. And God, we will even have overflow in the name of Jesus. Oh, we receive it now, we receive it swiftly. And God, even as your people participate in blessing ministry, that you will multiply their seeds swiftly and give it back to them a thousand times more, in Jesus' name. I want you to give with that attitude this morning, like you're expecting what you give to multiply a thousand times more. Glory to God. If you want a million, sow a thousand. I'm trusting God. Glory to God that he'll multiply it a thousand times more. You need a 6-figure-a-month miracle, $100,000? Give that $100 a thousand times more. Trust him with the seed that you can feel this morning. Mario, put the ways to give on the screen. Some of you need a breakthrough in your finances. This ministry is good ground. Glory to God. There are no gimmicks, there's no tricks. We trust God. God takes care of us every month, and we always are in overflow. We have a giving people, and they are blessed because they give. Some of you need a breakthrough in some things that you have contracts on and that you're expecting. Get a seed in the ground. Take what you have and let it be turned and transformed into what you need. Father, we bless you, we honor you. Glory to God. Where's my phone? Glory to God. So I can sow my seed. Praise God, we bless his name. If you have physical money, you can bring it and drop it in the bucket. Glory to God. Wonderful Jesus, what a mighty God we serve. Thank you, Jesus. Multiply the seeds, God, a thousand times more. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. We glorify you. We give you praise, God, even now and always. We bless your name. He's a mighty God. He's a good God. Thank you, Jesus. Now multiply every seed sown, God, even as we have already prayed, a thousand times more. In Jesus' name, amen. Amen. Come on, give God glory and honor. Thank you, Lord. All right, just a few things and we're going. I want to make sure everybody understands. So we've— we're halfway through. Say halfway through. All right, but we're not finished.

Everybody stand if our hearts and minds clear. Glory to God. I give this brother a hand all the way from New York. Apostle told me you came from New York. Come on, give God praise, man. Hallelujah! Thank you, sir. That's a blessing, man. Apostle, you doing something right, man. Somebody come from New York to see you, bro. I love it. Thank you. That's good stuff. I love it. That's beautiful. That's beautiful. To all our visitors, we bless you. We're so glad that you're here. Dr. Payne, thank you for your support. We appreciate you. Glory to God. Yeah, she— that— she's a principal, administrator at school, and superintendent. Okay, correct me. Get me right, sir. I'm higher than the principal. Yeah, you just demoted me. No, but we appreciate you. Thank you so much. Glory to God. Apostle, come on, say the last word in prayer and take us out, man.

See, like superintendent. Y'all enjoy. Yeah, it's just gonna get higher and higher, so y'all keep— y'all keep coming. Uh, we, we thank God for you, Apostle, you know, for, for who you are, who you've always been. Um, you've just been real and raw, and, um, it's been a blessing because a lot of people compromise truth. But we thank God for a vessel that does not compromise truth, and you're teaching us, you know, how to do the same, to not be compromisers us, because we'll never grow properly or healthily if there's not a, you know, if there's not a people that are not willing to compromise, you know, their convictions. You get what I'm saying? And so we should be a people that are holding to the standard of Jesus Christ. Yes, sir, man. In the midst of cultures that want to sway you toward darkness. And so when you got leaders in your life that will consistently speak from the sword of truth and light, you need to honor that. Amen. Because you just got too many who have started out well, but they've compromised it and blend into what the culture wants to present. And so this is, this is people who do do not endure sound doctrine. Yes, sir. They just have this itchy ear anointing. But when you got people who are preaching to you sound doctrine, you need to honor it, because sound doctrine— the word sound means to be well. So it's a healthy doctrine that helps you to grow in a healthy manner. You need to honor that. Amen. So I just want to encourage him. I want to encourage you to stay connected to real apostles that are preaching light from the realm of light. Amen. And if you ain't getting that, you need to connect to that. Amen. It's just being real because, uh, a lot of people are preaching doctrines that are keeping you in low dimensions, low planes in the spirit, and you're not really soaring like you need to be. You got quiet on that. But anyway, I'll let I tell you. So Father, we thank you for what you're doing in the midst of us. Thank you for the apostolic cultures and climates that you're raising us into. And I thank you that, Father, that this will not be just meetings that we would just take as intellectualism. But Father, let these meetings be bread that we would feed on and let it become a part of us so that we can relive the reality of what you're depositing on the inside. And so, Father, as we leave this place, let there be an ascension in our mentalities and an ascension in our spirits, an ascension in lifestyles, so that we can be the very examples of what you've called, uh, the body of Christ to be. Let the remnant burn for real, God, in the land. Let's So I bless you all to go forth and do what you need to do throughout the day, but be safe with the angels of the Lord, with the blood covering you. There'll be no backlash, there'll be no retaliation. You'll get to those places in a safe manner, and you'll return here safely for, uh, another session to be deposited in. I bless that now in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen.
