The Glory Dimension of Fire, Part B: Fire + Wealth, Part 2 | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr.

Dr. Mike Woods Sr. teaches that wealth is a covenantal promise from God, arguing believers have seven internal activators to manifest abundance. He introduces the RPM framework (Results, Purpose, Massive action) and practical steps like daily wealth confessions and five-year goal-setting to move faith into real-world transformation.
Chapters
Well, praise the Lord, everybody, and welcome tonight. I pray that you're blessed and you've had a supernatural Thursday, man. Listen, you guys come in really quick, we're gonna dive right into this teaching tonight. I'm super excited to teach this lesson, man. This is actually the third installment in our series Fire Mountains Water Clouds, going to literally unpack the glory dimension with these elements. And I want to teach you something about how being a glory carrier, you're actually supposed to show up in the world and the glory of God is supposed to make an impact everywhere you go. And we do this through understanding the concept— hear me, guys— of fire, mountains, water, and clouds. All right, so I'm super excited to teach this. You guys do me a favor, if you are just joining us, um, live or by replay, I need you to do me a favor, guys. I need you to share this. Glory to God. Uh, it's just nice to be nice, and there are people, uh, that need to— glory to God— uh, hear this message. So please share it. Uh, we— I know there are tons of people, uh, watching this conference. There's a viral internet guy in town, he's filling up the State Farm Arena with people, and, uh, so people are probably watching this guy. But I expect, glory to God, those that are connected to me, glory to God, I expect you to be here. Glory to the name of God. Uh, nothing against the man, uh, he's anointed to do what he's doing, and I'm grateful. I just pray that, you know, as those people experience the power of God in those services, that they actually take it out into the world. And that's what we're really trying to teach people to do is become, uh, literal ambassadors, uh, for the kingdom in a very huge way, family. So if you're just joining us once again, live or by replay, please, by all means, I need you to share this. Um, glory to God. I'm gonna dive, like I said, into it. We're gonna pray in a moment, and, uh, I'm super excited to teach this. Glory to the name of God. Hey, Pastor Jasper, God bless you. Welcome tonight, sir. Um, you guys come in and say hello like Pastor Jasper is doing in the comments. Uh, let us know you are here. Glory to the name of God. Uh, there's something for you. Matter of fact, I want to declare over your life tonight that something good is going to happen to you. Glory to the name of God. I want you to receive that. I'm telling you, something good is going to happen for you during this teaching tonight. So I need you to lock in and get this. Glory to God! It is Thursday night, and, uh, there's a word from the Lord. I came on earlier today, and, uh, I don't know if some people said, well, I got enough for today. Well, you know what, you never really get enough of the word of God, and, um Part of the reason why we endure and go through things, uh, at the level many people suffer at, man, is because we really don't understand the integrity of God's word and how a lot of things that God has established for us is already settled. You know, the hardest thing you could ever do—
here it is—
is to try to get God to do something that he's already done, that he's already settled. Part of the problem is people are spending time trying to get God to do things that he's already done. It's already settled in his word. They just don't know the word and how to connect it to bring that word to pass. They don't know how to align their faith with their praying, with their ability to bring to pass what God already said. So You never get enough of the word.
Welcome again, everybody.
Tonight, uh, we're gonna get into this, man. I'm excited. This is, uh, part B of Fire Plus Wealth. Again, this series, family, uh, is so important, uh, and we started talking on Sunday about the glory dimension of fire. I talked today about Fire Plus Wealth. I kind of introduced the concept. We got to crisis and we had to stop today. So, um, and I, I was giving you some activators, some principles for actually activating kingdom wealth through fire. Glory to the name of God. So let's pray. Praise God. I love you guys tonight. I'm grateful you're here.
Hallelujah.
Let's pray and let's jump into this. All right, so Father, in Jesus' name, Yes, Lord, we thank you for another opportunity to teach, to preach, to share your word, God. And we thank you, God, that beside you, uh, there is none other. It's in you we live, it's in you we move, it's in you we have our being. And so, Father, as we disseminate the principles of your word— your word, which is, by the way, again already settled. I declare that this word will go out in a way that people will be healed, people will be delivered, poverty will be broken, our mindsets will be shifted to a different paradigm, and everything— all the stinking thinking will be consumed by the fire of the living God. All religious thinking will be consumed by the fire of the living God. And I decree and declare that now in the name of Jesus. I say it is so in Jesus' name. Amen and amen.
Glory to God. Listen, I'm glad you guys are here tonight. Stay with me, don't scroll.
I promise you, uh, there's a word from the Lord. Praise God. And I just want to give you something that again that you could take away from this teaching. Take it into your everyday life and activate it and start seeing results. Uh, again, I talked about the fire dimension, and we have already covered how important the fire dimension is in our worship experience. Uh, you know, if— glory to the name of God— I would never be a member of a dead church, even if I was a pastor. I'm not doing it. You know, people have to be open to receive more. And to have encounters with God. And we've already discussed how your worship experience should culminate with an encounter with God that superimposes himself on you. And then you take that imposition, that disruption that you experience in worship, in your culture of worship, and you take it into the world and you start bringing about change for others—
watch this— and for yourself.
So it's not enough for us to again have great worship experiences where we're getting knocked out, falling on the floor, we're casting out devils. And listen, we do all of that, glory to the name of God, but that needs—
you need to get up out the floor and show up in the world so that you could be effective in the world.
All right, so tonight we're going to look at Part B of fire plus wealth. How does that tie in? Because again, we got to create a balance. And, and I've shared with you guys in the past, and I'm gonna say it here tonight because it bears repeating, nothing can be established—
hear me—
without wealth. Matter of fact, type that in the comments, somebody. Nothing can be established. Oh my God, without wealth.
Ooh-wee! My God. And wealth is a covenant, guys, that God has actually cut with you.
Glory to the name of God. Uh, I need you to be clear that God wants you to get to the place that you're not asking for wealth, but that you are commanding wealth to come to you, to work for you, because you operate in the power of God and you need it to establish dominion.
Hear me, guys, in the earth realm. So listen, when you start commanding wealth, you, you understand a few things.
You understand, number one, that inside of you is a multiplication factor. You were created to multiply. Oh my God, hallelujah!
Just, just rub your belly and say, I was created to multiply. Glory to God, you were created because the Bible says even in Genesis, in the dominion mandate, he said be fruitful. Second part of that mandate is multiply. So when you got saved, part of the salvation plan was multiplication. You should be ever increasing, you should be ever multiplying, you should be ever growing. Glory to the name of God. Yeah, you were indeed created, hallelujah, to multiply. Are y'all here? Secondly, I want you to understand that inside of you— and I'm already teaching You were created with manifestation secrets. There are secrets to manifestation, and hopefully, uh, before the year's out, I'll get to teach on what manifestation secrets is and be able to show you, because I don't have time tonight to show you exactly what those secrets are to actually manifest the the covenant and the wealth and the prosperity of God in your life for real. So that, uh, let me just give you one. One of the secrets is, is that you are created in his image and his likeness. So if you're like God, if you're in God and you're like him, when it comes to possessions. It says the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof, them and they that dwell therein. I gotta believe that I belong to God. I gotta believe that everything belongs to him. And if I'm in him and I'm made like him, he— and he is my king and I'm in the kingdom, that means, oh my God, I should operate at a level where I lack no thing. See, my goal as an apostle is not just to take the lack and the limitations off your life in the realm of the spirit, but my goal as an apostle is also to take the lack and the limitation off your life in the natural realm so that you can go into the world, dominate and conquer.
Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God.
So there are secrets, and one of the secrets is you— once you really realize that you like him for real— see, the reason you accept sickness and self-disease, accept poverty— I, I don't accept none of the stuff the enemy throws at me, man. He tried to throw stuff at me all the time, and I'd refuse to accept it because I'm made in his image. And in his likeness. And part of his likeness is that he is a consuming fire. So you got manifestations.
I don't have time to teach those tonight, I promise you, I promise you. I know I want you to grab this, man.
So thirdly, and listen, so, so I'm going somewhere, I'm laying a backdrop to this second part.
Thirdly, inside of you, you got to understand that you have the authority to maintain the flow. You have the ability to maintain the flow. So once the flow of resources and wealth starts flowing into your life—
see, the biggest problem I've had in my life, man, I'll be 55 this month, is accepting this reality, honestly, that I have domination in me to the point where the flow should only stop if I tell it to stop. Yeah, and a lot of times we start accepting dry seasons because we've been programmed to believe that dry seasons are okay.
And oh, shaya, manto. Ribikiska tadadatasu.
And dry seasons are not okay. Matter of fact, I want to announce to you tonight that God is bringing you to a place where you're going to operate in the realm of no more dry seasons.
Woo! Shatikanso rabbaiah.
So you have the authority to subdue the flow. Subdue the flow. That's one of the dominion principles. Subdue the earth. So when the earth starts yielding to your authority and things start flowing into you, you got the power to maintain that flow.
You have the ability to make— oh, I'm gonna have to teach these, man. Number 4, you also have miracle insight inside of you. So when you got saved, the perception of the miraculous came with the salvation package.
Even if you never tapped into it, in your spirit man, there is a recognition that the God you serve is able to work miracles. Somebody say, Apostle, what are you talking about? I believe in miracles. But listen, the reason you really never seen them, because you don't understand for real, because insight means you become one with it in reality. And so you don't look at sickness, poverty, problems that need miraculous innovation, intervention, as unstoppable. When you're in God and really know God, you have an insight through the plan of salvation that, that there is nothing too hard for God. Oh God.
Whoo!
I dare you to shout it. Nothing is too hard for God.
Ha shikanto shibaya bren tiko shika ma.
Nothing is too hard for God. I don't care what you're facing. Oh my God, I don't care what you're going through. You have miracle insight inside of you through the Holy Ghost.
Oh God, oh shatabaya, bransete de koshi antadaye, amansi kutabaye.
Yes, God, tonight you got— ah, yamasatabaye, you got it in you. Okay, let me move because I can't teach these. I just got to show you what's inside of you. So when I start talking about this wealth piece and with fire, so, so, so number 5, you have mystery understanding.
So also, oh God, inside of you is the ability to unravel mysteries. When the last time you actually tapped into a mysterion— that's the word mystery in Greek— uh, in scripture even, or in prayer, God released a mystery to you and all you did was just listen to it and observed it or you read it, but you never really tried to unlock it. But I want you to know you have the ability inside of you through Holy Ghost to unlock mysteries.
Watch this. Why you need to unlock them? You unlock them so you can use them in your life.
Oh, I got to get out of here.
Number 6, you have also inside of you Divine moments that are produced— watch this—
consistently by fire. Ezekiel said it like this. He said, there is a fire that's shut up in my bones— watch this— that won't go out. So the fire of God— because again, if he's consuming fire and Holy Ghost lives in us and he carries this fire, is shut up in us, is constantly burning, is constantly purifying, is constantly opening up opportunities for new ideas and innovations.
But if you don't spend time with Holy Ghost. If you don't spend time with God in you, you won't be able— oh my God—
to tap into these divine moments where when you can't figure it out, you tap into the fact that he already figured it out and already has the plan for you to use your ability and work it out.
And then number 7, and this is where I want to get—
you have the ability, the mastering ability of Jesus with wealth.
Oh God, Jesus mastered wealth because he knew it was always in him. Watch this, I'm gonna give you one example.
I can't teach this tonight, I can't, because I gotta teach—
I can't because this is a whole different series, but I got to teach this Fire and Wealth, but this is a backdrop to it. Jesus operated in a dimension of mastering wealth and resources because he understood that whatever he needed was always available. So when they needed to take 2 fish, 5 loaves of bread, and feed 5,000 plus All right, he did not go to God and say, God, we need to feed 5,000. Come on, Jesus, give us enough to feed 5,000. He didn't go to Father, Father, let us have enough fish to feed everybody.
No, the Bible says the first thing came out of his mouth was, God, I thank you that you always hear me. The Bible said he gave thanks and he break the bread and it started multiplying.
He didn't ask for the miracle. He just thanked God for what was already there. When was the last time you thanked God for what was already yours? Ah, God is— oh man, see, atalabasura. Just touch your belly and say, it's already mine. Healing is mine. Breakthrough is mine. Deliverance is mine. Glory to God. Riches and wealth is mine in the name of Jesus.
Father, I thank you that you always hear me.
Glory to the name of God. And I have more than enough. I have supply from the east, from the west, from the north and the south. I am living in overflow and I declare you are too if you just receive it and begin to thank God right now for what's in you and what already belongs to you. Oh God, have mercy. God help. Oh my God, today I give you the glory, I give you the honor, I give you the praise. Yes God, we glorify you.
Yes, Jesus.
Yes, Jesus.
Thank you, God.
So, so let's get into this. Let's get into this.
So what I want to do, and we're going to jump right back in these principles for activating fire plus wealth, for moving in a balance of fire and service, where again the encounter superimposes itself upon us. We show up in the world, we release the fire in the world to bring about transformation in the heart of man.
But also so men can see the glory of the fire on our life.
How does that happen? How does that happen? Understand, first of all, I need to lay this backdrop. Go to Genesis chapter number 12, please.
All right, because the first thing I need to do— and again, somebody said that's a whole lot of introduction, Apostle.
I know it, but I want you to get this.
I want you to learn this. And I'm just kind of stumbling with the Holy Ghost tonight because I, and I know you want the rest of this. I started this morning.
Some of you ain't even watch earlier today anyway, so I— but stay with me because I'm just kind of stumbling through with the Holy Spirit right now. And I want you to get this, uh, Genesis 12, verses 1, 2, and 3. I'm just kind of following, hallelujah, as the Lord leads.
Genesis 12:1, here we go.
The Bible says, and I will make thee a great nation, and I will bless thee. Glory to God. And make thy name great, and thou, oh my God, shall be a blessing.
And I will bless them— are y'all hearing this—
that bless thee, and curse him that curses thee.
And in thee all families of the earth shall be blessed. Now these 3 verses let me know that I have a covenant with God through the Abrahamic covenant.
Glory to God.
That God wants my name to be great. He wants my family to be great. He wants me to be a great nation. Glory to God. And he wants to bless me, you and I, to be a blessing. And then he says, I'm gonna bless them that bless you. And curse them that curse you. And in you and I, all families of the earth shall be blessed. So I'm telling you right now, you got to have wealth. You got to have a covenant relationship with God that you could tap into what's already yours.
It's already in you. See, this is the mystery.
Uh, God— watch this—
God made a covenant with Abraham. Watch this. And we know Abraham as the father of faith. Glory to God. And in this text, the covenant included divine prosperity. It's a covenant of wealth. Hear me, hear me. It's a covenant of wealth. And God actually desired Abraham to walk in wealth.
Glory to God. And I want you to know that God has no less desire for us today.
Oh God.
See, in Christ, we need to know we got a covenant with the Father that includes financial and material wealth so that we can be a blessing. Not that we're looking for a blessing, but that we're walking around as a storehouse. Who just rub your belly, my God, and shout, I'm a store— oh my God, let me go to Galatians 3 real quick. Rub your belly and say, I'm a storehouse. Glory to the name of God. I mean, I'm just stumbling with the Holy Ghost, I'm telling y'all. Galatians 3. Ah, yes Lord, today. Moto.
God, I give you glory. Thank you, Lord.
Thank you, thank you. Galatians 3:29, the Bible says, and if you be Christ, then you are Abraham's seed and heirs according to the promise. So here's a secret: you got to recognize that you are an heir according to the promise made to Abraham.
Oh my God, good God, oh God.
You are heir according to the promise made to Abraham. So if God promised it to Abraham, it's for you and I also. So if God said to Abraham, you're gonna be a great nation, if he says to Abraham, I will bless you, if he says, I'm going to make thy name great and thou shalt be a blessing, The word blessing, the Greek word is makarios. Uh, the Hebrew word, glory to the name of God, deals with the idea that we are empowered to do what God does. We're empowered to prosper as deity. Watch this, it means that we are empowered with the ability to own as God owns.
Glory to God. So God wants us to learn how to create a congruency, a balance between our fire and wealth, and using our fire to continually—
oh my God— consume the things that are not like God so we can operate in wealth. So it's not— so this, these are our rights. But can I submit to you tonight? It's not enough, hear me, for you to know your rights. You got to know your ability. Okay, again, because this ability to bring this stuff forth is in you, and that's part of the encountered the— and got saved so you could bring forth the mysteries of the salvation package that's on the inside of you. Let's look at another statement in Deuteronomy 8:18 that God made to Moses. Watch this, he speaks to the ability. He says, but thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, for it is he— Deuteronomy 8:18 that has given you power or ability— hear me— to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Now, now, now, so wait a minute. If every believer has this power, its ability. Why is it that the church is the poorest demographic in the world among humans? Somebody said, well, Apostle, it ain't about money, it ain't about that. No, really, if we're going to establish dominion, it is about that, and we have to stop trying to act like it's not important.
It is important.
And the problem is, and, and in asking God this, in asking God why are we the poorest—
and I'm not talking about you and I because we got the right teacher, understand what we need to do, and many of us are doing it— I'm talking about those that just want to keep struggling, keep going through continue living in lack and limitation? Why is it that they continue to operate this way? The Holy Spirit said to me tonight, I was on my way home, he said, son, it's because they have not sat at the feet of Holy Ghost, and they have not allowed Holy Ghost to teach them, and they have not sat under Holy Ghost teachers.
Hear me.
Who are not afraid to challenge the ability that's in their spirit man. Oh, have mercy, have mercy. I'm— listen, I'm not scared of you. I'm not afraid to challenge— you told me you were saved, so I'm not afraid to challenge the dominating nature that God has placed inside of you. And part of that dominion nature is fire plus wealth.
Oh God.
He says, I want you to remember the Lord your God, for it's he that give you power, ability to get wealth, so he can establish his covenant. So from the verses we read in Genesis 12:1, 2, and 3, and this verse in Deuteronomy 8:18, it lets us know that God not only wants us to walk in covenant well, Hallelujah. But he's given us the ability to produce the covenant wealth he's talking about. You have the power in you to produce it.
Glory to God. I got to get out of here, man.
One last backdrop verse and we're gonna get in this.
We're gonna get, we're gonna get in it. Go to 2 Corinthians 8 and verse 9. I'm teaching tonight better than y'all saying amen. Somebody need to press like on this video and make comments. Glory to the name of God.
Let me know this is—
you're getting this. Glory to God. 2 Corinthians 8 and 9, the Bible says, hear this, for you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 8:9.
That though he was rich—
wait a minute, let me stop right there. Remember I said that likeness and image is an activator? Yeah, it's a— it's something you can use to activate, to turn on, to bring wealth and prosperity and riches alive in your life. It's an activator because when you understand you and God, you understand He ain't never been broke.
Matter of fact, if you check the record, he ain't never been poor. Okay, okay, I'm just saying, check the record. God has never moved in lack. God has never been limited. I feel like running, boy. He ain't never been limited. So why is— again, why is it so many believers who operate in this demon of lack and limitation? Yeah, listen, I'm trying to get— I'm trying to get something to you. The Bible says that though he was rich— Christ was rich, he was in heaven, he had everything because he was with the Father. The Bible said for our sake he became poor. He left everything he had, came to the earth. Watch this, so that you and I— this the Bible—
might be rich.
You better stop being afraid of that word.
You better, you better start confessing and declaring out of your mouth every single day, I am rich. Because Christ became poor, then I can become rich.
And he didn't stay poor because when he got up from the grave, he went back to the Father.
Glory to God.
The reality is he had to sacrifice his life to give us access to the abundance that he would later put inside of us through Holy Ghost, through fire.
Oh, if you ain't scared, rub your belly and say, I'm rich in the name of Jesus.
Us.
Yeah, I'm telling you right now, this is— listen, I don't have time, you know, to play games, man. I've been doing this too long. The reality is I want to continually see the perpetual manifestation of God's power in my life. Nothing more, nothing less. I want him and him alone. Y'all not hearing me. And if you're just joining us tonight, glory to God, we're talking about Part B of Fire, Glory to God, and Wealth.
Hallelujah.
And I believe, glory to God, that you can have the fire of God moving in your life, and you can experience fire inside of the church. Glory to God.
But at the end of the day, that fire you experience in the church, God wants it to culminate, glory to God, into an encounter, into an experience outside of the church.
My God, my God, today I wish I had some help here. So as we started getting it, that was just introduction. Glory to God. We looked at principles for achieving kingdom wealth through fire. The first one we got to this morning during our midday teaching, we talked about crisis. I'm not going to teach that again. You want that, uh, the replay will run again in the morning at 8 o'clock, and it'll be up all day and you can watch it. Glory to the name of God. So we talked about crisis, but there's another thing, because this is an element of fire. Will demand your attention and cause you to focus on it. Remember I said fire can be either constructive or it can be destructive, and you got to decide— hear me— that you want fire— hear me, guys— to build your life up through the elements it produces. And we talked about how fire, it ignites light, light. So whenever— innovation, intelligence comes through light. Glory to the illumination of the spirit comes through fire and light. But one of the things that happens if something catches on fire, it will demand your focus.
And this is the second principle. First, we had crisis.
Secondly, if you want to achieve through fire, there must be focus. In particular, if you're trying to put a fire out, you better focus on it.
You better pay attention— hear me—
to what's on fire. Glory to the name of God. 'Cause if you don't stop it through focus, it's going to burn everything in its path down. The reality is fire demands focus.
Let's go to Proverbs 23:7.
Glory to God. Let's teach tonight.
Praise God.
I pray you with me.
Proverbs 23 and verse number 7. The Bible says this, for a— and this is the a-clause— for as he thinks is in his heart, so is he. Somebody said you are what you— glory to God— you are what you eat. I want to submit to you tonight, no, you're not. You are what you think. Glory to God. Because if you get your mind right, everything else will follow. Your, your diet— glory to God— everything else will follow. Glory to the name of God.
If you Get your mind right.
Praise God. The reality is, again, that your mental, your mindset, that's another activator.
Again, we got these secrets in us.
There's something inside of your mind, in your soul, which your mind, your will, and emotion is your soul. That's why Bible says—
oh, I see that, I see it, I'll say it, God—
I would that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers. Prospers.
So as your mind, your will, emotion prospers, the more it prospers, the more it matures, the more it grows, the more God can trust you with. See, really, the problem is not a job problem, a business problem, a client problem.
It's a soul problem. Your lack of money is not a credit problem. It's a soul problem.
Oh my God, thank you Jesus. I hear it, I hear it, I hear it.
And the more your soul expands, your mind, your mindset about money—
see, you want God to bless you with money and you got limited thinking about money.
You got limited thinking about God's ability when it comes to money. And a lot of times the blessing that you should be walking in, you're not walking in it because your soul can't handle it. Oh my God. So God says, I'm not giving you nothing no more than what you can handle, because if you get too much too quick, you'll kill yourself or you'll destroy yourself. And that's why people who do it on their own and they get too much too quick they end up bringing destruction to your life and their life.
Oh my God, I wish I had some help in this place. Jesus Christ. Oh my God. Oh God.
Oh Jesus.
Jesus.
So If you got a soul problem, you can fix that right now. You can start growing in your soul and change your attitude about increase and wealth right now. Most of our soul have been conditioned to believe mama was broke, I'm gonna be broke. Daddy was broke, I'm gonna be broke. Most people have been conditioned to believe I'm gonna work 9 to 5, get this check, and this is The reality is you cannot establish anything in the world without wealth. You got to have it. We already covered that. But in order for that to happen, you got to focus. So as you think, the word think there in Hebrew is shay'ar, which means to act as a gatekeeper. So you got to become a gatekeeper to your mind and be careful what you allow in your thinking. Listen, I'm just not gonna do it. I don't care who it is, I promise you. You know, I can love you, glory to the name of God. You could be the closest thing to me.
It could be my children, it could be my wife, it could be my mama, my daddy.
But what I'm not gonna do— I'm gonna hear you, listen to me right now— I'm not going to engage conversations that are negative concerning what God is able to do and my belief system. I'm not gonna listen to you talk to me about what you think common sense is, because first of all, common sense ain't that common. And obviously, if your common sense was working for you, you'd be better off than you are right now. So what I'm gonna do is listen to some stuff that ain't so common. I'm gonna listen to some billionaires talk about investing. I'm gonna listen to how to take, uh, annuities and my life insurance policy and become my own bank. I'm going to listen to people that's talking in another dimension. I'm not going to listen to people who all they have is a mind and a job every day. You can't tell me nothing about accumulating wealth.
You are employee.
God have mercy. Let me—
okay, okay.
Oh my God, oh my God. I got to get out of here. I got to get out of here. I got, I got a meeting in 12 minutes with my team. God have mercy, in 15 minutes. But you gotta focus. Glory to God, you gotta focus. Listen, no one can hinder you if you, if you are a gatekeeper. You gotta, you gotta decide, okay? If they ain't talking your language, to unplug. Glory to God. If they talking, poor mouthing, or respectfully change the subject and let's talk about something else. Because guess what? If you cannot align with the culture of thinking that I have, or that if someone can't align with your culture thinking that you have when it comes to God's ability and the ability he's trusted you with, I need you to hear me. I need you to hear me tonight. You need to dismiss yourself from them conversations, or you need to be the one talking, or y'all need to change the subject. Point blank, period, end of story. Glory to God.
You got to become a gatekeeper. You got to become a gatekeeper. You got to keep stuff out that doesn't belong and only let the things in that's feeding you, that's causing you to grow. You gotta starve your doubts. You gotta starve your negativity.
You gotta starve starve, oh my God, poverty mindsets and let the fire consume it. That's what you do as the gatekeeper. Everything, every time something negative shows up, light a match in the spirit, burn it up, burn it up, set it on fire, send it up in smoke because you ain't got time for that.
Glory to God. Um, ah, shianda kaboshi.
You ain't got time for that.
Glory to God. You ain't got time for that.
Hallelujah. Negative, bad, terrible mindsets. Jesus. I'm just trying to teach y'all guys how to show up in the world, man, because at the end of the day, these are soul problems.
The mind that enter into your mind and get in your spirit and start affecting the flow of resources into your life. I told you, man, Jesus knew what was in him.
His mind—
Jesus didn't walk around with, uh, massive amounts of money on his person because he knew what was in him.
He didn't worry about what he was going to eat, where he was going to lay his head, because provision was in him and he knew it. Even when Lazarus died, that's crazy, man. They were trying to get Jesus. Jesus gone, minding his business. Jesus comes after Lazarus has been dead 3 days, and everybody's complaining. If you were here, master, your friend Lazarus wouldn't have died. First thing Jesus says, he don't even entertain that negativity. He doesn't let it into his life, into his mind. He becomes the gatekeeper. He stands in front of Lazarus' grave And again, he prays just like he did over the 2 fish and 5 loaves. He said, I thank you, Father. Read it, check the scripture. He said, I thank you, Father, that you always hear me. Lazarus, come forth. Wasn't no God, please raise him up. He knew resurrection power was in him. That's why I pray every day. Lord, I thank you I'm a billionaire. Lord, I thank you that I can buy buildings without debt. I thank you that I'm a lender and not a borrower. I thank you that I have everything I need for my business and entities in the name of Jesus. I thank you that I'm debt-free because you always hear me.
Ah, ah, I dare you rub your belly and say, he always hears me.
Oh, glory to God. Matter of fact, just open your mouth and say, Lord, I thank you, and rub your belly that you always hear me. Glory to God. Lord, I thank you. That you always hear me. Lord, I thank you that you always hear me.
Jesus Christ, man. So focus, you got to focus.
So you focus, literally you got to focus on it or concentrate on a central point and let that be your center of attention, your center of attraction.
All your activities when you're focused are centered around the thing that you're focused on.
Oh my God.
So if you're gonna have wealth, you got to focus on it. You can't be afraid of— again, the word rich, the word million, the word billion— you can't be afraid to pray that.
And see, I'm telling you, soul problems—
if you're not making that confession daily, that's a soul problem.
Because you don't believe it's in you. You don't believe you have the ability. You think God is broke. And I just told you, he became poor that you might be rich, that through his poverty— Jesus did— you could become rich. And you could translate that word rich in the Greek, you could translate it in Swahili, you could look it up in English, and it's going to mean the accumulation of material goods and money. Glory to God. That's what it means to be rich. You, you have a right to be rich. Can I teach this tonight?
Oh my God.
Oh, y'all want to scroll and watch the Revival Live? I mean, y'all can go watch it. Glory to you, man. God, I just want to teach people, glory to God, who want to take this, glory to God, and apply to their life and show up in the world. The reality—
oh, shataman, my God, today, my God.
You have to focus all your activities. Everything you do should be around the fact God wants me rich, God wants me wealthy. Why?
So I can take dominion, so I can take authority. Glory to God. So you got to focus. How do I focus my activities? How do I focus my concentration on being a producer of wealth?
Oh, say that.
Say, I'm a producer of wealth.
I just read it in Deuteronomy 18.
You have the ability in you to produce wealth.
It's in you. Matter of fact, say it.
Say, I'm a producer of wealth.
I talked about this earlier today, something I've been teaching for 35 years.
It's not God's will for you to have holy hands and empty pockets. And because that's not his will, he put in you ability, hmm, to create like he creates and produce what you never produced before. I'm almost done, y'all. I'm almost done. So that— so to achieve good success, prosperity, and wealth through fire. You got to be focused, and you got to get focused through, ah, putting in your life what I call RPMs. RPMs. In a car, you have your gauge that measures how fast you're going, the miles you're going. It's called a speedometer, the miles you're going per hour. That's— you see that in your car. But right next to it, there is another gauge that many people have no idea what it's doing. That gauge is measuring your RPMs. It measures how many times the engine's crankshaft makes one full rotation per minute. All right, and it measures how many times the pistons go up and down in the cylinder.
So you don't only need the speed, but you also need RPMs to operate your car.
You cannot have one without the other. The, the engine can be doing everything it's supposed to do, but if the transmission is not working, or if the electrical part is not working so that you can engage the speed portion, your car is not going to move.
You can try to go somewhere without the engine working or the crankshaft taking its rotation or the pistons moving up and down all you want. I'm telling you, you ain't going nowhere. You need both, right? In life, you just can't get out here and start trying to run fast and get to a destination and you're not measuring your RPMs. Oh, just say that out loud. Say, I'm measuring RPMs. RPMs, glory to God, is this: it's results, purpose, and massive action. Whoo! So you need to focus on RPM results. I want a wealth result. I want a rich result. See, if you keep doing things and focusing on things that's not producing rich, you're gonna get those results. I was, uh, sitting in a business meeting with one of my daughters earlier this week who is thinking about scaling her business to another level. So we were sitting in a meeting talking about prime real estate, uh, some not really big numbers to But when you're scaling, you have to take those risks of faith. And that's what I told her. You know, at the end of the day, taking a risk of faith is shifting your RPMs really to measure for a different outcome. If you keep the RPMs where they've been, all you're ever going to get is the outcome you've always been getting. And I share with her, you have— this is the opportunity to activate faith and take risk of obedience to produce something at another level. Glory to the name of God. See, you got to shift—
oh, Shia—
your RPMs, and you got to focus on results. What results do you want? You got to focus on rich results, wealth results. Again, you need riches, you need wealth so you can establish dominion on earth.
Oh my God. Ah, yeah, I mentioned this this morning. I'll say it now because it bears repeating. I posted a TikTok video, uh, it was a clip of me, uh, teaching at the church, and I was talking about how God doesn't want any of us to suffer and to struggle. It's not his will. We were not wired for struggle. That's why when we're struggling, we feel so out of place, because that's not who we are. So somebody commented on the video and said, hey, well, Apostle, what about the scripture that says the poor you'll have with you always? And I said, that is the word, but he wasn't talking about you. Notice the verbiage: the poor you will have with you always.
So you that believe You that walk out scripture, you that align with my will, poor ain't for you. It's only for you if you don't embrace your ability to produce wealth, to produce riches.
God, I got to get out of here, man.
I was doing something by throwing that scripture. I'm like, okay, again, that's why I said people don't have the right teacher. Because at the end of the day, that scripture is clear as day telling you the poor you have with you always. And then I went on to tell them that you are royal, you are a royal priesthood, a holy nation. So if we are peculiar people, means we are different, we are authentic, we are the King's children, we're in the King's family, ain't no way we're supposed to be poor.
We're in his image and likeness. Richness. He ain't poor.
He done passed the promise on to us.
Glory to God.
I love him. I love him so much.
So in life, the RPM measures your results. As I get ready to close, and I'm going to be out of here in a moment, I'm not going to be able to get to the next point. You got to measure your results. Oh my God, you got to measure your purpose. Are you operating in your why? Are you living out the reason why you're here? And you got to measure it honestly. When you get off this live tonight, I want you to pray. Get your family together if you're married and pray about RPMs. Measure your results. What results are you getting in your kingdom assignment? You know, measure your purpose. What are you— are you doing what you're supposed to be doing? And measure your massive action. Are you taking the right action? I went down to my office today, and outside of my house, I went to the office downtown. and I was sitting there and God had me write out. So I wrote down the Rother Group streams of income, and I already had this written down somewhere else, but God wanted me to write it again. So I wrote it down, wrote down Rother Group, which is Rother Films, Rother Wealth, Rother Philanthropy. Rada Branding, Rada Church, um, Rada Life. So I wrote all those things down, right? And, um, he had me go through each one and write out again my 5-year goals, my 5-year goals for income, revenue, people I want to bless. Remember, we're blessed to be a blessing. So through those income streams, How do we want to use the results, right? So he had me writing these things down, my marketing plan for each one, uh, revisiting that, upgrading it for each one. And because if you're gonna go to a billion, you got to be absolutely clear how you gonna get the result and what you need to change. To get that result.
So I'm grateful for that.
So I'm telling you, study your results. Focus on the result, and, and out of that focus, the result you want will birth a process out of your ability, your power to get well, to produce— hear me— that result. And start taking those actions. RPM: Results, Purpose. So what's the purpose? I, I've redefined the purpose I have for each one of those companies, why they exist in the marketplace. And those companies are active, they're actually viable companies. And we're trusting God that under the umbrella of the Ronald Group, that, that group of companies will become a Fortune 500 company. That means one of the top 500 companies in the world. But in order to do that, we got to focus on that result. Oh my God, today. Oh my God. I, I know, I know, I know. I'm out of time, man. I'm out of time. I'm supposed to be on, on a meeting with our leaders right now. Listen, I need you guys to understand that the way it is now is not the way it's going to be. You have the ability to bring about change. So focus. Get a focus-driven system of thinking, and that's RPMs—results, purpose, massive action. That's how you gotta think. Listen, and I'm done. Thinking and focus is simply you coming up with solutions to questions you ask yourself about the results. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for this teaching tonight. I thank you for every person under the sound of my voice, and I pray, dear God, that you will cause them to experience high levels of focus on wealthy results, rich results. I thank you in the name of Jesus that poverty is being broken even as I pray right now. The poverty mindset. I thank you that soul issues with what you've given us to do to produce wealth— it didn't say get a good job. The word you said, you've given us the ability to produce wealth, not to find a better position. You told us to produce wealth, that the covenant can be established on earth and that we could be blessed to be a blessing.
So I release that tonight.
For your people, and may they take these principles and apply them in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Hallelujah. Wonderful. Y'all good people, thank y'all for being here tonight. I am done. Listen, I need you guys, uh, very quickly, I want every person on this live, whether you're watching live or by replay, plate and get a seed in the ground. Go to rodderchurch.com/donate and get a seed in the ground tonight. Glory to God. We depend on your giving to do what we do as a ministry. Glory to the name of God. We're currently in the process, we're trying to secure a building. Our people, uh, rallied together and got seed in the ground last week. Glory to the name of God. And I'm super grateful. I want you guys to just get something in the ground, whatever that is. So into this word tonight, so into your ability to produce wealth. The ways to give are scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Glory to God! And Pastor Jasper has been so kind to type them in the comments for you. Uh, the Cash App is on the screen, uh, the website is also on the screen. Hallelujah!
