THE GLORY DIMENSION OF CLOUDS | DR. MIKE WOODS, SR. | 4 AUGUST 2024

Well, praise the Lord, everybody! This is the day, hallelujah, that the Lord has made, and I shall rejoice and be glad in it. I pray, guys, tonight that that's your testimony as well. I pray, glory to God, that the very hand of God— hear me— is heavy upon your life, and that in this day and time, for real, listen to me, that you're really taking the things of God seriously. You know, there are 3 ways you could really jack your life up. And the first way, glory to God, is having the wrong connections. It's connecting to the wrong people, connecting to the wrong environments, connecting to the wrong ideas, pursuing false work. And your connections, your connections are jacked up, 9 times out of 10, your life is gonna be jacked up. So you gotta make sure you're plugged in. And moreover, you gotta be connected to God. And some of us are so very connected to timelines, we're connected to what we see on our phone, our tablet, and it kind of takes away, if you're not careful, from the relationship that God desires to have which with each one of us. So listen guys, connection vitally and highly important, and I want to challenge you to stay connected. Secondly, you could jack your life up through comparison, because when you're not connected to God, you're not connected to the right people. Again, you're going to spend a lot of time looking at everybody else's life. I'm already preaching, my God. And you're going to compare yourself to what body else is doing, and you're gonna either second-guess yourself and settle for less, or you're gonna end up stagnant and stuck and never evolve or matriculate to the plan that God has for you. So listen, guys, I want to challenge you, man. Don't, don't jack your life up with wrong connections and comparisonitis. And then thirdly, and this is very important, You could jack your life up through wrong covenant. See, when you really have covenant with God, you don't cut illegal covenants with things outside of that relationship. So welcome tonight, it's Sunday. I am happy, uh, to be here. I'm happy to be alive. My heart is beating, glory to God. I'm gonna pray, but before I do, I want to take a moment, glory to God, uh, to wish my wife a very happy anniversary. You know, we have been, uh, both of us extremely busy, uh, and we have been navigating through, uh, some different things in, in scaling our life, scaling our business. And you know what, I totally forgot my anniversary yesterday, and I have been beating myself up every since I realized last night at 11:58, I said, hey, ain't today our anniversary? So I think both of us forgot, but I want to take a moment. That's why I haven't posted anything. I really, guys, have been razor-sharp focused on this run I'm on to create this next, uh, dimension of wealth. And I want to repent to her publicly and openly I'm going to post something from my heart. And because at the end of the day, I want her to know I love her. And we were sitting at brunch today and I sat there and I was trying to figure out what to do. So I ordered her something for her anniversary gift. And I normally surprise her. I showed her what it was, but I am just great, great, great. Fully sorry, okay? So please, Felicia, forgive me. I love you. Happy anniversary. I am just so grateful and better because you are a part of my life. And, uh, I mean, I just mean that from the bottom of my heart. I, I couldn't have made a better decision. Um, back when I proposed to you at Disney, uh, honestly, that was the greatest day of my life. Uh, it changed everything about where I was going and who I was because I had the right covenant. I just was talking about that. So I love you, babe. God bless you. All right, let's jump into this, uh, tonight. Glory to God if you're here. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I want you to share this. Uh, it's just nice to be nice, and it's nice to be kind and share. Uh, this is gonna be good, and so you, uh, don't want to miss this, right?

Father, we give you praise and we thank you, God, that what's to come is better than what has been. Yes, Lord. Libese makou branse. We thank you for the opportunity to teach your word. And so, Father, we give you praise tonight for the light the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost. Father, let your intelligence impose itself upon us. Let it invade our space. Let it disrupt our thoughts. And Father, I pray that even as the disseminator of what you are saying, God, that nothing will be mixed in with your heart and your desire for those that will hear us on tonight. And Father, Esheman torakaya, branse rebeku shebebebe to rankya, baye monsurambakaya, breke kalabahoshe. YAH, we give you glory and we thank you that even the recipient, that they will block out distractions and their heart, Iman su, rabba, soto rankye kababahaya, will be open to receiving. And every person listening I decree and declare under the sound of my voice, with your stripes, hallelujah, they are healed tonight, for you sent your word and it healed them. And so I thank you that the word shall come forth with healing and deliverance and victory. Osha, mande debo surambakaya, which is the children's bread. In the mighty name of Jesus, we praise you, God. Amen and amen. Oh my God, tonight God is so good. Uh, guys, please share this. I feel the anointing of Jesus. Mukundede de Manso, Nike, Su, Kaya, Pa, Sondete, Roku, Ramba, Kiate, Rite, oh, Shibataya. And the Spirit of Grace would say unto you tonight, my little ones, the Spirit of the Living God says to you that even in this season— yes, God, this election season— he said, remember even now that I am the Lord your God. And that I am the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. For I say unto you, for neither can you put your trust in either candidate, lebe satabababakorumbaki, but you must be, saith God, steadfast, unmovable, and always abounding in the work of the Lord. For as much as you know your labor will not be in vain, For whosoever shall find themselves in the White House in November or come January at the inauguration, the Lord said it will be highly incumbent upon you to become a praying people, to become a people of intercession. For I have said to you, saith God, that the heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord. For I am positioning you like never before. To become a nation of intercessors. For I've even said to you in the past, in my word, that if my people, ye basiando, lebe shatalabaka, yes God, that are called by my name, if they will humble themselves and pray, seek my face, turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, said the Lord, and I will heal the land. For you cannot depend upon those that will, uh, oh, shanta, take the seats in your Senate or your Congress or your governor's seat or your mayor's seat. For I have declared unto you, I am your King, I am your Lord, and I need you to tap into my systems, my ways of doing things, and I will cause your lives to be guarded. To be protected. For there shall be nothing natural man or government can do unto you, for you are mine. You are mine. You are mine. And I have you covered and protected, says the Lord God of heaven. Oh my God, somebody ought to rejoice right now in the name of Jesus. Atamaman tiansa, because, ah yeah, the Lord has just said to us we belong to him. Uba, seban toshia. Yes, yes, yes. Yetemon su bri kika o tomon shia. Yes, katamamaman de lo bo so tola babakaya. I know there are people that want me to endorse a candidate or say, I've gotten inbox as well. What is the Lord saying about this election? That's what he's saying. He is King. Glory to God. And whatever a right you exercise as a voter, oh my God, hallelujah. That's your private right. You do that. But whoever, notice what the word of the Lord just said to us. Whoever sits in that seat, rubasah tosiyamantahi. Rumbebe, bronzo, suba, pa pa pa pa, bren sete beko. I decree and declare that this nation, lebe sata babababa koramba ki, will return to God, emande debesi, and our leaning will not be to our own understanding, but we will begin to serve God again through his word, through his power And through his anointing, and I decree and declare tonight that God will raise up a special people, a peculiar people, a holy nation that will declare unto the earth through what they carry, glory to God, that he is God. Whoo! And that he is King. We give you the glory. We, uh, yes, Lord. Yeah, I'm gonna teach. Glory to God, y'all, please forgive me. But there's this prophetic stream open over me, and the Bible says we shall decree a thing and it shall be established. I decree and declare that there shall be a nation of intercessors that shall emerge. And the spirit of religion and the spirit of popularity. Can I share with you? Yah-hee-yah, Father, that just because it's popular, it does not mean it's God. I'm going to say it again. I'm going to say it again. Somebody's not going to like me tonight, but I really don't care because I'm not here for you to like me. I am a mouthpiece of God. I am a prophet of God. And I, Ada Soba, I've been prophesying for 35 years, and my track record with God is good. And many of you are here tonight, live or by replay, the Lord has used me to speak in your life and it has come to pass. You've seen the tangible manifestation of God's word. Hear me when I tell you, God is calling us back to our altars. And I heard God say we must rebuild our altars in America. We've gone to sleep. We've gone after that which is popular. But I heard the Holy Spirit say tonight, awake, awake, you that sleep. Omansé lebekontataba. I'm sorry if I have no strange music playing behind me or something to set the atmosphere for you to receive. I need you to open your spirit and receive What God is saying tonight. Oh God. God says, I'm calling you back to your face. I'm calling you to rebuild your altars. For this next realm of glory that you shall walk in and understand. God said it will be born at the altar. It will be born on your face. It will be born in your prayer closets. Lebaba santetebakiaya. I went to a service this morning, early service, to see one of the young babies in our church that was in our church. Uh, one of my daughters, uh, owns a foster care home where she takes care of these children. And so one of these little babies, a precious little, uh, fellow, uh, was a part of the church for a short period of time. So Felicia and I went to a baptism this morning to see him get baptized, and to see him, and, you know, to see the light that was on his face when he saw us was absolutely amazing. Because one thing I realized is that he has been removed from a place where glory flows freely to a place where there is no glory. I'm glad he's back with his mama. But while I was in that service, my, my, my heart was for that people jam-packed with people in that place. No glory, no oil, no anointing. And there were so many around me that needed to be healed. There were so many around me that needed to be delivered. Uh, it's hard for me to go into a religious setting and accept what's happening because I'm an apostle. Other people, you could do that and be okay. I'm totally uneasy when I walk into settings where things are off. God is not there. At the end of the day, my spirit was turning backflips. I wanted to walk up to the preacher, take the mic off his ear, grab the mic, and have a whole healing and miracle service. That would have been out of order, but that's what I wanted to do, because the reality is people need God, not intelligence, not swelling words, not popularity. Oh, the kingdom of God is in manifestation, it's in demonstration and power. And I'm telling you, this is— we got to get on our face so we will see demonstration like never before. I am tired of business as usual. I'm tired of church as usual. As some of you tonight, let me tell you something. Listen to me. You better be careful connecting to people who don't align with the anointing on your life, connecting with people that move you out of purity. Some of you out here, you, you need to guard the anointing that's on your life, protect your purity. You're single and fornicating, that's— you're not protecting the purity. God can't use you. You're single, a homosexual, or lesbian. God can't use you the way he needs to when you're operating in sin. Oh God, have mercy. Let me, let me move, let me move. Oba, sun te tebe su rakaya, bren se te debe su rebe si anta, akante si le te banso rabakai. I give you glory, God. I honor you and I praise you. I, I, y'all, please forgive me. Glory to God. But I needed to get this out. So let's jump into this tonight. Welcome everybody that's here. Glory to God. Thank you so much for being here. Glory to God. And again, please share this. Uh, I won't be long and I'm gonna try to behave, but I'm telling you, there's a stream open over me tonight and, um, I'm gonna let it disrupt as much as it wants. Glory to God. I, I do have a word and I want to share it with you. Because I want to make sure you get this. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Libashi kurandaya rabba sande de deyanso rabaya. So tonight we're continuing our series on fire. Oh my God. Oh, glory to God. Plus wind, plus clouds. Glory to God. Plus water. Glory to God. These are glory dimensions. We've talked about the glory dimension of fire. We've talked about the glory dimension. Glory to the name of God. Of mountains and God. If you haven't watched any of those teachings, please go back and listen to those teachings. Glory to God. Uh, you need to understand that just because you went to church and said that the glory was there does not necessarily mean that you operated in the highest dimension of glory. Can I share something with you? The dimensions of glory we experience in church when people are— when we're casting out demons, and again, I'm not against any of that. We do this all the time. We do this every day, uh, praying for the sick. We see miracles every day. Glory to the name of God. Not against any of this. When we see people falling out in these manifestations, I want to submit to you that that is a very pediatric dimension of glory. Oh boy. So the fire and glory people are not going to like me tonight, but again, I'm not here for you to like me. I'm here for you to grow up and get out of elementary school. Glory to God. I'm telling you, man, I'm on something different. I'm in another place. Glory to the name of God. As I walk out this season of my life, these next 50 years of my life— I turned 55 a few weeks ago, glory to God— and I have declared that God's going to give me 50 more years. I'm going to walk it out in total authority of who I am. Glory to God. So hear me, that level of glory— I don't care if you see people raised above the floor and they fall out. I've seen it. I've laid hands on people and they raised them. Bam! I've, I've seen God do some miraculous things. But that, my friends, is a very— hear me— pediatric dimension of glory. I need you to hear me tonight. Ah, God, I hear you. God, I hear you. I hear you. Just put your hand on your belly. I hear the Lord right now. Nturu rambakaya basu talaba. Put your hand in your belly. Glory to God. He shut up and declared this in the name of Jesus. I am a glory carrier and I receive the maximized dimension of his glory in my life. And everywhere I go, his glory goes with me, and I shall make an impact and be a— and be an influence because his glory resides with me. In Jesus' name. Listen, God is so serious, saints, about you making an impact and showing up in the world Hear me, he wants you to understand that there's a nation, a global nation of people, hear me, that are dying, that are missing it because the church has ascribed, watch this, to powerless popular preaching, powerless pediatric preaching and ministers. And we have been led away by seducing spirits. Oh boy. Well, I got on here to teach about glory. Lord have mercy. Oh Jesus. Listen, we've been drawn away by seducing spirits and watch this, doctrines of devils. These— Paul, when he wrote that text, he was talking to the church. The doctrines of devils is being taught in the church, and because of that, there's a great falling away inside the church. Yes, yes, yes. Whenever you tell me there is no hell, that's a doctrine of devil. When you tell me it's okay to be an adulterer or fornicator or homosexual a lesbian, a liar. When you tell me that sin is not a necessity to be preached about, that, my friends, is a doctrine of devils. When there are no miracles and no power and all you get is likes and clicks, the devil is on board. And we've gone after pleasing people. Oh my God, we're in perilous times. Men love themselves more than they love God. They have a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof. Hallelujah. Oh, good God from Zion. Well, I'm probably gonna go to Facebook jail again. I've been in it for about a month. They won't play my stuff, won't show it to anybody. I put up posts, they won't show it to people. The reality is because This what I'm saying is what needs to be heard, and the devil doesn't like it. And I'm at the point I don't care. And that's why I'm on this run, this billion-dollar run, so that I can create my own networks of stuff and I don't have to worry about being put in jail, in Facebook jail. Glory to God. In Twitter jail, IG jail. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Because they want to play the popular people. Hallelujah. With the, with the cute messages and the cute screens behind them and all that stuff. Listen, at the end of the day, the truth needs to be told, and I'm gonna tell it. All right, let's try this again. Okay, we're gonna try this again. All right, let's try this again. Again, welcome everybody. I'm, I'm trying to get this message out. We're talking tonight about the glory dimension of clouds. This is a part of our series on fire, mountains, clouds, water. Uh, I'm gonna try my best to get as much of this to you. I'm already 30 minutes in, so I'm gonna try to pack as much as this in, in 30 minutes as I can. Y'all stay with me, don't leave. Please share it. Glory to God. Hallelujah. All right, here we go, here we go, here we go. Let's go to 2 Chronicles 5. This is our foundation for this teaching. I pray you feel God. I feel him. I feel him tonight. Glory to God. Oh, I love it when Jesus just walks in and takes over. Glory to Jesus. 2 Chronicles chapter 5. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Ishi anta labaya. And I want to go to, uh, Well, let me— I'm gonna start at verse 1 and then we'll drop down and, and read, uh, verse— verses 22 through 25. So, so stay with me. Glory to God. Uh, 2 Chronicles chapter 5. Glory to Jesus. And, uh, if somebody could type that in the comments for the people that's coming in so we can make sure it's on the screen. Praise God. Uh, 2 Chronicles chapter 5 The Bible says this, verse number 1: Thus all the work that Solomon made for the house of the Lord was finished. I want you to pay close attention to the word finished in this text, right? The word finish deals with the idea— shalom, not shalom— shalom with an A. Shalom's with an O, which is the presence of God's assistance, not the absence of confusion. That's shalom. But this word here for finish is shalam, and it means— oh my God— to be at peace with God, to finish what God has asked so that he may grant blessing upon you. It's very important, hear me guys, that we don't have false starts, that things that we start— hear me We finish. This is very important, and we got a lot of people in the body of Christ, particularly upon people who are the deep and wonderful ones. We start a thing, we hear prophecy, we receive a word, and we'll start something, but we never finish it. And many times the blessing that needs to be released is held up because we didn't finish. Let me read. I'm gonna get back to that. The Bible said, and Solomon brought in all the things of that David his father dedicated, all the silver, all the gold, and all the instruments, and he put them among the treasures of the house of God. Remember that, treasures of the house of God, treasures of the house of God. I want you to keep that in your, in your brain cavity. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Glory to God. I said 22, ain't no 22, it's 12. Glory to God. Matter of fact, I'm gonna back up and drop down to 11, and we're gonna read there. I'm sorry, Pastor Jasper, he put 22 through 25 on the screen. There is no 22. That was my fault. Here we go. Uh, beginning at verse number 11. And it came to pass, uh, so, so my real people are here right now. Glory to God. I'm telling the people that was here for the prophecy and stuff, and they, they, they gone, they left. I mean, because I see people dropping off, but the people that want to get the word, y'all here, y'all hungry. Stay with me, share it. Glory to God, because this is what's going to stand forever. And this is— and remember, as the prophecy was going forth, we got to live through the word. Hallelujah! It's this word that heals, it's this word that delivers, it's this word that gives us stability. Hear me. And it came to pass when the priests were come out of the holy place, for all the priests that were present were sanctified and did not wait by course. We're going to get back to this. And the Levites, which were the singers, all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, being arrayed in white linen, having cymbals, psalteries, and harps, stood at the east end of the altar. And with them 120 priests sounding with trumpets. We're going to get back to these verses. And it came even to pass— hear me— And as the trumpeters and singers were as one to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music and praised the Lord, saying, for he is good, for his mercy endureth forever, that then the house was filled— hear me, guys— with a cloud. Hallelujah! With a cloud, even the house of the Lord. Oh my God, did they It was filled with a cloud. It was a cloudy mass, an anan in Hebrew. It was filled with a real cloud. Glory to God. Watch this. Even the house of the Lord, so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud. Shavani Yoshaya, Mankura Maya. For the glory of the Lord, hear me, had filled the house of God. So far the scripture, and I thought really is from, for this particular part of this series, verse number 14. So that the priest could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord, hear me, had filled the house of God. And so tonight again, we're talking about the glory dimension of clouds. Glory to God. So let's first get a working definition of glory. We've done that before, okay? So, but I want to add something to it. Uh, so we know that the glory of God, uh, the Hebrew word is kabod, uh, and it, it literally means the weight, the splendor, the honor, the intelligence, the influence, and the wealth of God. I'll say that again: the weight, the honor, the splendor, the influence, the intelligence, and the wealth of God. That's what glory is. That's what glory means. All right, here's what I need you to know tonight. God desires every dimension of that glory to flow out of your life. That's why we're teaching this series about how the fire flows through our life. Glory to God. How mountains— we go into the world and we take mountains for God. We take kingdoms and subdue them for God. Glory to God. He, he wants you to understand that you're carrying his honor, his splendor, his weight, his intelligence, his influence, and his wealth inside of you. So if that's the case, there should never be a time when I am without intelligence on a situation. Oh boy, here we go. Because if the glory is in me, oh my God, then I have the intelligence of God in me at all times. So there should never be a situation that comes up that I'm in the dark about because I have the weight of God in me. Watch this, which is his authority, his massiveness, which means every situation I walk in, glory to the name of God, I have the superior edge the superior advantage because the weight of God is on my life. The only way I don't experience that is that I ignore these facts. And I'm— and if I have a religious mind and I just talk about glory and I only want to experience it at the pediatric level in the church, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. Yeah, the ones that wanted the prophecy, they got on and jumped off. They got it. We, us that's still here, we about to get some word. We about to understand how to really walk this thing out, how to really cause this thing to be manifested and brought alive in our life. Eba shorabaya, ukunta labashike aya. God, we give you the glory. We give you the glory, God. We give you the honor. Amasiata. God, I love it. I love him. I love him. You got his weight and you got his splendor in you. You got his influence in you. He got his wealth in you. So when, when I'm talking about wealth and billions for the kingdom, I'm talking about this for his glory. Listen, I have had, or have— listen to me very closely. Any and everything any man could possibly want. I have the best of cars, home, clothes. I've traveled this country, I've traveled the world. The reality, it's not about that. What I need God to do for me, and I was just telling him this, I need him to endow me with enough glorious wealth that I am for real blessed because the scripture said it, to be a blessing. I told God, I said, I said, today, if for one of my businesses I needed to do $1.75 million a month, that's for one. I got 5 streams of income. I got 5 businesses. The Rother Group consists of 5 businesses for the glory of God. Now I said I need one of them to do one, because the other ones are gonna do even more than that. But I just need one of these to do one point— this one in particular do at least $1.7 million, $7.5 million a month. I didn't say a year, I said a month. All right, that wealth is in me, right, to produce this, because with that business I want to give. And I identified not one, not two ministries that I was— no, I actually identified three. I told God today, I said, Lord, if you do this for me, this is what I will do with the tithe of that business alone. Number one, because I am a tither, so I'm going to tithe to my spiritual father, uh, Apostle Davis, uh, $175,000 a month. I'm going to tie to my natural father Freddie Woods $175,000 a month. Y'all, y'all don't like this kind of talk, right? But I'm gonna keep talking anyway. I'm not— because this is how we create economy. And it doesn't matter who's in office, and it doesn't matter who does what or who doesn't give what. When we create this kind of wealth through glory, we can bless other people. And then third, of course, we're going to continue to tithe from all the businesses into Rhoda Church. The reality, family— Omansi Ataya. Glory to the name of God. And then we're going to take out of that 1.75%, we're going to take an entrepreneur every month and we're going to put them before a prophetic Presbyterian, a panel of apostolic leaders and allow them to pitch the ideas for their business on a monthly basis. And these ideas, as they come to give glory to God and advance the kingdom, uh, and they bring these business ideas to the table, we're going to bless every month out of that stream 5 entrepreneurs with $100,000 a month. Watch this, that leaves only about $570,000 uh, after we tithe. No, at least less than that, really. But the reality is the multiplication of God's glory that's going to come back because we're making those investments is going to turn that into a very astronomical figure. I need you to see what I'm seeing. You got this in you, and you can't be afraid of words like million and billion. You, you need to be confessing out of your mouth, God, let your glory rest on me where I Oh God, my yearly income and make it my annual income. That needs to be your confession. That's mine. It needs to be yours. What are you expecting? What do you want? You just— again, you just want to be lifted up off the floor. Again, nobody's against— and then when people hear this, they get offended because they— instead of them taking a position of learning with your dumb self— okay, I'm sorry, I'm telling on something different. I'm doing something different. Because the Bible said, if they be ignorant, let them be ignorant. So let me use that word, with your ignorant self. They'll take offense because I talk about you're just at a pediatric level, not understanding I don't flow in way more levels than you have. And but you can't get offended that I'm saying this because I'm trying to teach you balance. As a matter of fact, if the truth be told, the levels you flow in, I taught you. Let's, let's go right there. So don't get offended, glory to God, when I'm talking about this pediatric level. I'm being a father, I'm being an apostle to help you grow and get— and there are people who watch this and they ain't even tapped into where we are right there in the service. So we gotta also bring them up to that level and then take them to this next dimension where the glory is flourishing in every part of our life. Lord, I got to get out of here, man, before y'all throw some rocks through the phone or the TV or something and knock me out. Glory to God. Hallelujah. But I'm covered in the blood. You can throw what you want, you're gonna break your screen. Glory to God. So this glory then is basically a quality of God's character Oh God, to emphasize the greatness of his beauty, the greatness of his authority, the greatness of his power, the greatness of his— oh my God— wealth and ability to be imminent and transcendent to us as his people. Yeah, that's what glory represents. It's not just one-dimensional. All right, so Exodus 13:21. I just want to give you a few examples of what we— really quick. So in Exodus 13:21, uh, you find that the glory is a pillar of cloud and fire. Remember this, all right? So we already talked about the dimension of fire. So now Glory is housed inside of clouds. Ah, we're gonna understand that before— by the time we get through with this part of this series. In Exodus 14, uh, the Lord, he delivers the Israelites at the Red Sea through the glory. He parts the Red Sea with his glory. Hallelujah! The glory will bring you through things that's trying to kill you. That has you feel stuck and bound in a part, cease for you miraculously and have you go through being untouched. In Leviticus 9:23-24, the glory of God is in the tabernacle. So yes, the glory of God should be in the house, but it also should be abiding, glory to Jesus, outside of the house. House. In 1 Kings, glory to God, uh, 8 and 11, hear me, the glory is in Solomon's Temple. Listen, so watch this. Once the Old Testament closes, the glory now in the New Testament, hear this, is shown in Christ. You don't see manifestations of clouds in a tremendous way. Watch this. I, I know, you know, and, and honestly, I've been in services and I've seen the cloud, I've seen the glory rest on people, I've seen the people, everybody in our church just out. Oh my God, I can remember the days at the Dwelling Place, uh, in the Destiny Place in Jackson, Mississippi, where the glory would come in our church and people could not stand, even myself. We all be laid out when the cloud would literally physically be in the room, and those that were tapped into the dimension of the spirit could see it and tangibly feel it. He belongs there, but I just need you to still be clear, it doesn't stop there. This dimension, the cloud has to move. So we can shape the world in his glory. Lord have mercy. And so watch this, when we look at Christ in Luke 9:29-32, John 2:11, and his people who are connected to him— glory to God— we see the glorious image of God that should shine through us. So literally, this dimension of the cloud takes up form in the believer who taps into this level of glory and allows God to inebriate their person with his way of doing things. Oh my God, Lord have mercy. Let me go, let me go. So how do we get Let's go back to 2 Chronicles 5. Glory to God. To this glory we read about, and I gotta close, guys. I don't have time, man. I'm gonna have to finish this next week. Ah God, probably jump on and teach some of this tomorrow. God, listen, I pray you've gotten something so far. I've dropped in the Holy Ghost a couple of revelations that if you take those and apply them tonight, you're gonna be different. But I'm gonna try to get as far as I can in this. I want you to go to 2 Chronicles chapter number 1, because you can't really get to chapter 5— hear me— until we go back to chapter 1. Oh boy, we can't see this glory in the process that it manifests and the finished work that Oh my God, Solomon is talking about here until we go back to chapter number 1. So let's go back to chapter number 1, and we'll find in chapter 1, 2 Chronicles chapter 1. Glory to God. Hallelujah. The Bible says this, verse number 1. The Bible says, and Solomon the son of David Listen to this, was strengthened in his kingdom, and the Lord God was with him and magnified him exceedingly. This is very important, guys. So I need you to understand, in order to handle the glory of God and what God's going to do in your life, you're going to need supernatural strength from God, just like Solomon had to be strengthened in the kingdom You and I have to be also strengthened in the kingdom. So that's the first piece. You need strength from God. Now what this means, what does this mean? This word strengthen in the Hebrew is chazak, chazak, uh, C-H-A-Z-A-Q, chazak. And the word chazak means, hear me, listen to me family, it means to be hardened, to be strong, to be resolute, to be firm. Watch this, to be unmovable. Because when you start walking in this, there's going to be a confederacy of hell, hear me good, that emerges against your life to stop your progress in the things that pertain to the kingdom. Ask me how I know, because I've been on a journey for 35 years to be a glory carrier. I know that sounds good when we tell people you're a glory carrier, we're glory carrier, and yeah, you should be, but to carry this dimension of glory and to finish the work You're going to have to be made hard in the kingdom of God, and you're going to have to stand firm against all of the systems that go against your way of living, your way of thinking, your way of working, your way of being. Oh my God, Solomon was strengthened. You need to be strengthened. I need to be strengthened. Watch this, Jesus, even when he came and carried the glory, he needed to be strengthened. Them. The Bible said he grew in spirit and stature daily by the Spirit of God. So if Jesus is in the earth and needs to grow in what he's carrying, what makes you think you can walk around here and just say you're in the glory and not grow? Oh, Lord, help us today. Help us. Help us, God. Utabaya. We give you the glory. We give you the honor, Jesus. And the Lord was with him. So that's two things. He was strengthened in the kingdom and the Lord was with him. So you can't walk this out if God is not. And I know you say, oh, God is with me. He'll never leave me nor forsake me. You need to know for real. That God is with you. Because when you tap into this dimension, there are things that will come after you that will try to make you forget that greater is he that is in me than he that is in the world. I was talking to my daughter, uh, Dr. Cargo, last week. I have her and Minister Alexander working on some things for our foundation. and, um, I was talking to her about something, and she was— we was just talking about all the things that has happened in her life. And I told her, I said, daughter, this is because of who you are. The attacks are not because of where you're at. The attacks are because of where you're going. And I want to shift that to you guys listening tonight. What you're going through has nothing to do with where you are. It's all about where you're going. And if the enemy can break your focus off of where God is trying to take you in glory, he has done his job. If he can get you to lose faith and lose sight of God's ability to keep you and protect you— oh boy, my God, good God Almighty. Amasi antolabaya. Rukura, Lord, I love you. God, we go, oh my, we give you glory. I dare you touch your belly and say, I'm going somewhere. Yeah, I'm going somewhere, I'm going somewhere, I'm going somewhere in the glory. I'm, I'm riding the cloud. I'm— watch this— I'm becoming the cloud. Because what's in the New Testament, Jesus was the cloud. So if Jesus was the cloud, he's my example. I have to become the cloud. Glory to God. That's why he could walk on water, because he became the cloud. That's why he could raise the dead, because he was a living expression of glory. My God, today, my God, today. Watch this, watch this. So God strengthened them in the kingdom. I ain't got a lot of time, guys, I gotta go. The Lord was with him, and the Lord magnified him— wait a minute— exceedingly. There's two words there I got to deal with. One, magnified. So first of all, you need God to magnify you exceedingly. Wait a minute, for those of you who are against greatness For those of you who are against maturity, this word magnified in Hebrew is gadal. Gadal, G-A-D-A-L. And gadal— hear me, guys— gadal means to become great, to mature, to become important, to receive promotion, to make one powerful, to honor you. Oh my God, to magnify you to do great things. Oh my God, if you ain't scared, I dare you lift your hands right now where you are and say, Lord, magnify me. Yeah. Oh my God, Lord, make me great. Lord, cause me to grow. Lord, make me important. Make me influential. Lord, promote me. Make me powerful. Oh my God, bring honor to my life. Glory to God. Magnify me to do great things. You gotta want this. You gotta want— you gotta want to go to this place. You— God's not going to magnify you if you don't want it. If you have mediocre mindset and you want to have low living all the days of your life, God is not going to magnify you. Oh my God. You gotta want this. There's great things in you. You carry the glory. Let's get it out. Let's become the cloud. I'm talking about the glory dimension of the cloud. We're not gonna finish, I'm telling you, but this is a good piece. So he magnified him exceedingly. It seemed like those words would be the same, right? This word Ma'al, M-A-A-L, Ma'al, M-A, uh, accent mark A-L, uh, Ma'al is how it's pronounced actually. This word means he puts you on top, he calls you to have an edge to exceed others in your field. You talking about kingdom. So I've been telling y'all it's backwards, it's perverted. That 97% of Americans work for the other 3%. And of that 3% that hire the 97%, only about 0.6% are born-again people. That's too low. We cannot take authority and say we serve God, God, who owns everything and we 97 percenters, and we work for the other 3%. I'm telling everybody listening to me tonight, you are a paymaster. I hear you, Holy Ghost. Libe osi ma hikoche. I hear the Spirit of Grace say to tell you, you're a paymaster. You are an employer, not an employee, and God has called you to be a 3 percenter. You got it in you. He wants to cause you to exceed others in your fear of influence. Oh God, he wants you to be higher than them. That's what my all is. No way the world should have more than us. The economy in the kingdom should be the ruling economy. Ooh-wee. You know, when God began to trust popular preachers with resources through ministry, watch this. This is why this has shifted. They'll tell you most of the big preachers started doing what I've been doing for the last 20 years start creating businesses outside of church because there was no tithing and offering. The reality is God shifted that because they were irresponsible with the wealth that God was releasing. There are a few out here that's doing it right, all right? And they're empowering others and they're blessed to be a blessing and they're sharing with others how they do it. But then there's some that started building kingdoms to themselves. And this is why when you look in the media and you look in— oh my God— the world today, you see a lack of honor or respect for these factors from worldly people, because these people have no spiritual stability, they have no moral compass, and they don't uphold what they preach and teach. Lord, I got to get out of here, man. I know I've been on too long. I've been on too long. Oh boy, God wants us on top, so we got to be strengthened in the kingdom. We got to have God with us, and we got to allow God to magnify us exceedingly. I'm gonna stop right here. How bad do you want it? Do you want to be on the top? Do you want more than you ever had? Do you believe God wants his glory to be produced in you in a way where you could really be a blessing to all the people of the earth? That's in the Bible. That's a part of the glory dimension. I want to get you out of the pediatric thought process of encounters with God. If my singing, if my worship, if my dancing If my preaching and teaching does not lead to encounters that cause me to go into the world and become the cloud, my singing, my worship, my preaching, my teaching is in vain. We should be showing up and we should be bringing change. Amongst people who need what's in us. I'm so proud. One of our worship pastors, she also has a business. So today they were giving out things, they were out giving out free food for the students that's going back to school. Glory to God. Uh, just being a blessing to all of the children that came by, haircuts, all of that stuff. They're doing some more stuff next week. The reality is That's how we impact. That's how we are. We are blessed to be a blessing. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you. I thank you for taking over this live tonight. I had one plan, you had another one. So I pray, God, that the people who are under the sound of my voice have been blessed, they have been delivered, they have been healed, they have been set free. I thank you that no weapon formed against us can prosper. I decree and declare, God, that every person under the sound of my voice— hallelujah— will tap into the glory dimension in a greater way, and that we won't accept the pediatrics. Yes, God. Oh my God, the low levels of glory. But we'll tap into the whole dimension. We'll become the cloud. We'll become the cloud, and your intelligence, your splendor, your honor Your influence, your wealth, your favor, your authority, your weight will show up on us in the world, and we will bring about change in our sphere of influence. We'll show up, and the world will be different because we are there, and we praise you for it now in Jesus' name. Amen. And amen. Oh my God, I love y'all so much. Thank y'all for tuning in today, man. Listen, this has been good. I need you guys to share it. I want— don't anyone leave, whether you're here live or by replay. Or these lights got me shining.

It's one or the other because I ain't got nothing on my face like that to make me shine. But can I— I thank God either way. I'm alive, I'm well. I need you guys to take me very seriously tonight.

And I believe the month of October, 10/7— 10 is the, the month of re— the number of repositioning, and 7 is the number of maturity and completion.
