Well, praise the Lord and a pleasant night. God bless you guys. This is Mike Woods, and on Sunday night, listen, if you're coming in right now or if you're coming in by replay, I need you— I really need you to be nice tonight. And share this stream. You know, I really believe— and living life at a higher dimension. Hear me, guys, of excellence, authority, power, and breakthrough in the kingdom of God. So I need you guys to help me tonight and share. I mean, that's, uh, not really, really hard to do, uh, just hit that share button at the bottom. If you're here, also hit the like button. Glory to God. And comment below and let us know you're here. Again, this is Dr. Mike Woods, for those of you who are uninitiated, and welcome to our Sunday night live teaching. I have something I want to give you that I believe I really believe with my whole heart you'll be able to take away from this live and apply it to your life immediately. Right now, uh, we are streaming actually over 5 different platforms, uh, 3 Facebook pages, uh, glory to God, YouTube, Instagram, and X. Well, that is 6 platforms. So wherever you're watching us, uh, welcome, and I need you again to be nice and to share. And also be nice and say hello below. That's a, that's a great thing. See, when you come into a room, uh, it's just nice to be nice. And when you enter these live streams, whether you showing up incognito and never saying anything, uh, it's just nice to be nice. So comment below, say hello. Hey Bruce, God bless you, sir. Welcome tonight. Thank you for being here. Uh, again, like Bruce, he walked into the room, first thing he did was said hello. I need most— many of you to follow suit. Hi, Yvonne, God bless you. Hello, happy Sunday to you. Glory to God. If you're here, just let us know you're here. Praise God. Listen, we're going to experience something tonight that I believe is going to be absolutely and categorically life-changing. Glory to God. I believe God's gonna fill our heart. There's my wife. God bless you, Felicia. Um, thank you for being here as you always are tonight. Listen, we're live and I need you guys to share this. Um, glory to God. Uh, I don't know, again, I can't overemphasize how important it is that we prioritize the word of God in our life and our schedule. You know, some of us know that, you know, Sunday night we're going to be right here at this time on Sunday night. And it just really bewilders me to see that there are still people that ain't caught it, that there are still people that have found that there are other things more important than positioning yourself to hear from God. Listen, our world is in a very volatile and challenging state, my God, and We need people who understand not only how to have good church, how to go through religious processes, but what the world needs now more than ever, people who are actual students of God's word, who can receive the word of the living God, take that word into the world. Hear me, superimpose kingdom principles in their everyday practices. So that God will be glorified. I prophesied last year that as we approach this electoral year, uh, we were going to enter into a world of confusion and mess around the candidates. Oh my God, and it's crazy. So, uh, the standing president is always— and I'm gonna teach in a moment— the front runner for the Democratic Party. They don't even go through a nomination process. He's recently dropped out of the race. So now anybody can step up and decide they want to go for that particular position. It's a terrible time in our nation. And Interestingly enough, the church— hear me— who is God's represent— is ecclesia, the called-out ones. And that, that word means literally we are called out, we are separate, we are different. My God, today we're called out to make a difference, to be a light that cannot be hid. And the church seemingly is unplugged and hidden, and we have no voice in the world's affairs. And I'm telling you tonight, we got to take our rightful place. So please share this. And if you're coming in here scrolling, bouncing in and out, listen again, I already know my lives, my teachings are not for everybody, and I'm good with that. But I do want to touch the people that will take what we teach and apply it. I'm not interested in entertaining you on no level. I'm interested in exposing you to another level of life where you can again show up in the world as a human being that makes impact, that makes a Dominion impact in everything you say and do. So if you're here tonight, again, comment below, let us know you're here. We're streaming again over 3 Facebook pages, over X, over Instagram, and YouTube. So wherever you're watching, comment below, let us know you're here, and please, by all means, share. Let's pray. Glory to God, I feel the anointing of Jesus. Dear God, I thank you for another Sunday, another Lord's Day. Hallelujah! Every day is your day, but specifically, we, we take this day and we We collectively around the world in many instances pay homage to you in worship. And Father, over time that has become such a, a religious function because so many gather on Sunday and never show up in the world on Monday. So Father, my prayer tonight is that we would not only gather on weekends to worship you. But God, that Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, we would show up in the world, and the world will be different because we are alive. And Father, I'm asking you tonight to guide my lips, guide my heart, guide my mind as we teach your word tonight. Do something unusual in this teaching, in this live. Do something that man cannot do. May the anointing that I'm feeling right here in this seat, inside of this studio, I declare that this anointing will translate through, uh, this microphone and this video camera into rooms and cars and gyms. Wherever people are watching this, God, let your anointing rest on them and let yokes be Yes, God, let burdens be removed. Cast the devil out of the mind. Non se aya kushyanta tabai. Break down every stubborn will, and may there be a yes, Lord, not just to show us good church people, but to show up in the world and make a difference. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. Glory to God. Welcome everybody tonight. I'm so glad you're here. My God, uh, I have something I want to share with you. I believe it's going to be transformational. I believe it's going to be life-changing. I believe when we're done literally your life will never be the same. And I want you to take this word and pay attention. Stay with me, don't scroll, uh, don't be all over the place, uh, let's lock in, let's engage with the teaching, uh, and I know you'll be blessed. Again, I want to thank everyone that's here, everyone that shared. I appreciate you, um, This is, guys, the 5th installment, praise God, of the series Fire Mountains, hallelujah, Clouds Water. And this series is about unlocking the glory dimensions, and I believe that fire Hallelujah. Mountains, clouds, and water are, are very basic elements of tapping into spheres of the glory dimension that we have to access if we're going to change the world. I said it earlier and I'll say it again here, the only way that we're really going to move from being mediocre as the church. Mediocrity. And mediocrity is simply living beneath your privilege, living beneath your right, uh, acting and behaving lower than you should. And mediocrity isn't always living in sin. Mediocrity means that you have so much available to you and then you make a choice to not live in the parameters, in the fear, oh my God, that comes along with what's available to you. You choose to live beneath, oh my God, what has been provided. You choose to live beneath the way that has been made. And so God is calling us to a higher standard of living and influence. And really, the glory dimension is the key. It's the difference in you living as a mediocre kingdom citizen, because you could be saved and mediocre. I need to tell you right now, I'm gonna just let you know that right here. You could be saved, born again, sanctified, filled with the Holy Ghost, with the evidence of speaking in tongues, Oh my God, you can be a demon-busting, devil-casting-out, hit-sick-healing child of God. Watch this, I'm gonna help you, and still operate in a mediocrity that is beneath God's plan. Because honestly, those things, the display of gifts, they're very pediatric. Those things are normal. They should be a normal occurrence for the child of a— child of God. What— and, and those are only introductions to the levels of glory that God will want us to operate in. So we're taking over systems. See, some of y'all out here trying to master having good church. I have no interest, glory to the name of God, in mastering having good church. At all. Glory to God. Uh, there was a time in my life I had an interest and I wanted to preach it to people shouting. I wanted, you know, to make sure everything was correct and people, you know, we— so that when you left you could say, oh my God, we had an experience at church. I want that to just be a given and not something we work so hard at. And with an understanding that our experience in a church building is only that we could show up in the world, family, and make a difference. Are y'all hearing me? This is what God would desire. This is what God would want. I want everybody that's on here live right now to share this. Glory to the name of God. And if you are on here and you're connected, whether you're a partner of our global ministry, whether you're a member of Rhoda Church And you, if you see anywhere anybody that's connected to us that's not on here, please share this because at the end of the day we need this, people. There is a whole world that's on their way to hell. Hallelujah. And enjoying the trip. And we're sitting back reserved in our little corner. And God is saying, I'm calling you out of that corner. I'm calling you to more. I'm calling you to something deeper. I'm calling you to something greater. I'm calling you to more authority. I'm calling you to more power. I'm calling you to greater dimensions of wealth. Somebody hear this tonight in the spirit. Glory to God. God says, I'm calling you up out of your mediocrity. You think too low, you act too low, you believe too low, you accept to, oh my God, many things that are mediocrity and that are mediocre. God is saying, I'm calling you up to a higher level. I'm calling you to a greater summit. That's why we need this teaching tonight. Shalake satalaba so rabaya. Bransete de be kosho torakataya. I hear you, Father. I hear you. I'm gonna teach in a moment, but this prophetic stream is open over me. I heard the Lord say, I'm calling you into dimensions of my spirit that you will have encounters with me, not to satisfy, oh my God, cravings for deeper spirituality that you can brag about with people who are in the culture of spirituality. God says, I'm calling you deeper into deeper encounters. See, some of you too lazy. You don't study like you should. You don't pray like you should. And God says, I'm calling you to a deeper place of fellowship. Oh God, we hear you tonight, we hear you tonight. God says, so, ashi ama uti shikan tatavaya, so that you can show up in the world and superimpose your experience upon those that encounter you, and they ultimately come to Jesus. They ultimately begin to walk with God because of your experience. God says, I got to get you back to the place where you once believed, where you once was on fire. Something— yes, I hear it, God, I hear it. There are people listening to me now, and they are perhaps by replay, that, that, that can Oh my God, resonate with what is about to be said in the spirit. The spirit of the Lord said many of you were so on fire before that your smoke preceded you everywhere you went. I mean, in other words, you were known, glory to God, to be one that was fired up for God. There was a light that emanated from you, and the world and people in cultures of the world respected who you were because you were serious about God. I'm not talking about some fly-by-night person that dibbles and dabbles in the world and the systems of the world and mixture. You're having sex with everybody, drinking and smoking, and still trying to operate in the realm of the glory, lying and cheating and cussing and doing all kind of mediocre acts. Oh my God, doubting and not believing God, but yet still want to represent his light. You can't do it. I hear you, Holy Spirit. I'm gonna teach in a moment, guys. The Bible said we have to put difference between that which is holy and that which is unholy, between that which is clean and that which is unclean. My God, my God. Lebe suntatabai. Mukuramashikan tatabayi. We gotta be different, people. And one of the things that make us different is tapping into this understanding of the dimension of mountains. This is a— I call this, this whole series really is a maturity module. It's to grow you up so you can walk out things in the spirit that you have never walked out before. I'm gonna say that again. It's to grow you up so you can walk out things that you've never walked out before. Have mercy, God. So last time, which was on Thursday when we started this, we talked about a few things. And one, I made it clear, and this is just about where review— please go back and watch part 1 if you haven't watched part 1 of the Glory Dimension of Mountains. Uh, we talked about our authority over kingdoms. And what gives us that authority over kingdoms is our ability— hear me, guys— to grow without limits. Matter of fact, touch yourself and say, I've been graced. Say that, say that, say, I have been graced to grow without limits. Matter of fact, if you ain't scared, type it in the comments, I have been graced to grow without limits. I need you to understand that because a lot of time, again, we remain mediocre, we, we remain in the valley because we don't understand that God has made it available to us through Jesus Christ the ability— hear me— to grow without limits. And listen, if you're in the church I want to say this to you, and you're not growing in the things of God. I mentioned this, I think, in part 3 when we was talking about fire and wealth. The reason your soul is not prospering, which is your mind, your will, your emotions— hear me, God, oh my, she kataia, hear me, hear me, hear me, y'all— is because you're not getting the nourishment in your soul that's activating a life of faith, a life of victory, a life of deliverance, a life of growing without limits. See, you're only limited when you're not getting the nourishment. And if— this is why these teachings, when I'm on here talking, if you want to grow, you better plug in, you better take notes. And you need to figure out how to apply these things that the Holy Ghost is giving me, and that's coming out of my mouth, and let it be a deposit in your spirit that will cause you to emerge. Oh my God, that will cause you to emerge and start growing without limits. Because if you're in the church and you're not growing, can I tell you something? You're dying. There's only two choices: growth or death. The spirit is either expanding or it's dying. Your, your human spirit has to be fed, and you got to make the choice that you are going to grow without limits. All right, so we talked about that last time. I don't have time, glory to God, and we dealt with the fact that there are kingdoms— hear me— in the world. And I started introducing you to those kingdoms, and, and, and here's what they were. We talked— and I'm not going to teach them again— we talked about the religious kingdom, we talked about the family kingdom, we talked about the education kingdom, we talked about the governmental kingdom, we talked about the gospel of the kingdom, we talked about the political kingdom, the art kingdom, the media kingdom. We talked about the business and economic kingdom. Watch this. And we made it clear, hear me, that as a child of God— I feel like running, man. I'm telling you that there's a, there's a glory that's burning in my belly right now. I, I wish it— I hate to say it like this, but I wish I could take every person that was really hungry for this and just take all of this in my belly. And I wish there's a way I could just pack all of this stuff down your throat. Glory to God. And just push it inside of you until you get it. But unfortunately, I can't do that. You gotta want it. You gotta be hungry to graduate from mediocrity. You gotta be hungry to live at a level of kingdom excellence. Where you will not be denied on no level. I got, I got to go. So tonight I want to start because this is where we left off, talking about this power to take these kingdoms, to enter into the political kingdom, the media kingdom, the business and economic kingdom, the arts kingdom, Oh my God, the government kingdom, the gospel of the kingdom, the religious kingdom. Hallelujah. The education kingdom, the family kingdom. I want to talk about how to enter these kingdoms, show up and take over. Oh, for real. Touch yourself and say, I'm called to show up and take over. Woo! For real. Come on, say it one more time. I'm called to show up and take over. For real. Matter of fact, oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. As a matter of fact, you're alive to show up in the kingdoms of the world, in the mountains of the world, and take over. But before we, we dive into this, let me share something with you. What makes kingdoms and mountains congruent? Watch this. We talked about how mountains line up. Glory to God. And they are— they present themselves in rank as a chain of mountains. And then you have summits, glory to the name of God, where you can get to the top of one summit and then you can go up a little higher to another summit. That there's always a peak, there's always another dimension, uh, to move to. That when you look at mountains, they're majestic, they're unshakable, and they are congruent to kingdoms. Glory to God. Glory to God. So you gotta understand that God is giving you the power to take kingdoms. Mountains, watch this, are unshakable. The kingdom of God, listen, listen, is unshakable. Matter of fact, oh boy, let's go to Uman Shaya. Lord have mercy. Hebrews 12, let me read this. Hebrews 12:18, stay with me. Glory to God. Yes, God today. Hallelujah. Hebrews 12:18, stay with me, people that want to hear this. Glory to God. You that's just scrolling, just go on and scroll. Glory to God, because you're going to miss this and you're going to stay mediocre. Hallelujah. So, so, but you that want it, I want you to get an expectation and, and, and, and eat this. But you that want to scroll and be entertained by your phone, your tablet, go on and scroll. Matter of fact, this is not where you need to be because it's not what you want. You're going to have to want this so you can receive it and apply it. Okay, here we go. Hebrews 12, verse 18. My God, did they— the Bible says, unlike your ancestors, listen to this, you didn't come to Mount Sinai, all that volcanic blaze and earth-shaking rumble, to hear God speak the ear-splitting words. Listen to this, I'm reading verses 18 through 21 in The Message Bible. And soul-shaking message terrified them, and they begged him to stop. When they heard the words— listen to this, my God, today— if an animal touches the mountain, it is as good as dead. They were afraid to move. Even Moses was terrified. Verse 22 through 24, I'm gonna keep reading. He said, no, that's not your experience at all. Listen, you've come to Mount Zion, the city where the living God resides. The invisible Jerusalem is populated by throngs of festive angels and Christian citizens. It is the city where God is judged with judgments— watch this, oh my God— that make us just. You've come to Jesus who presents us with a new covenant. A fresh charter from God. He is the mediator of this covenant. Oh my God, stay with me. The murder of Jesus, unlike Abel's, a homicide that cried out for vengeance, is a proclamation of grace. Hear this, I'm dropping down to verse number 28. He said, do you see what we have? He says, we have an unshakable kingdom. And do you see how thankful we must be? Not only thankful but brimming with worship, deeply reverent before God. For God is not— oh my God— an indifferent bystander. He is actively cleaning house, torching all that needs to be burned, and he won't quit— oh my God— quit until it is cleansed. God himself is fire. Hear this, I need you to understand something tonight. We have an unshakable kingdom, like mountains can't be shaken. Our kingdom cannot be shaken because Jesus is Lord. Hallelujah. And so we must superimpose our kingdom, the kingdom of God, on the mountains of the world. How do we do that? By us showing up and taking authority. Ooh-wee. So kingdoms, write this down if you're taking notes, are realms, watch this, of authority on earth that are ruled by kings. I'm gonna say that again. Kingdoms are realms of authority on earth ruled by kings. Now, the kingdom of God, which is basileia in Greek, is the dominion, domain, rule, authority, influence of God. What needs to happen— the basileia, the kingdom of God, needs to superimpose itself on the kingdoms of man. We talked about this last time in, in brief, so that God is in charge in every realm. So what I talked to you about last time, those realms— the military realm, the government realm, the media realm, the arts realm, the family realm, the religion realm, the education realm, the business and economic realm The kingdom of God. So those realms exist, and we talked how many times those realms are ruled by kings or the people in charge of those realms. Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy. Oh boy, oh boy, help me, Father. Just help me, God. Help me, help me, help me, help me. And the reason I'm asking God to help me, because You know, let me just take a break right here and I'm gonna come back, but I need to take this sidebar because I look at so many things, family, going on around me. I look at a lot of foolishness in and out of the church. I look at a lot of false teachers, false gifts, false miracles, preachers with no character, no integrity. I look at stuff around me, I look at the foolishness around me that's happening in the world. And David even said, when I see the prosperity of the wicked, he said, my foot almost slipped, but I lift my eyes, yeah, to the hills, to the mountains from which cometh my help. My help comes from God. So I'm saying, God, help me to continue to look to your mountain to be strengthened and not be discouraged to just throw up my hands and trying to teach this to people that don't want it. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Because David even said, my foot almost slipped. Sometimes it's, it's almost discouraging Because when you see— I can see a person that, Lord have mercy, it, it appears to the natural eye for someone that's never really experienced the anointing or had an encounter with God for real, that what some of these people are doing is actually anointing and God is on it. But when I see it and I see all these people that gravitate to it, it grieves my spirit because I see clearly that there's no God in it. Oh boy, I see clearly that the vessels operating in purity. And then when I look at the world and the prosperity that's on the world, I mean, it's, it's, it amazes me. But anyway, so y'all pray for me, and I'm asking God to help me because I, I need— I mean, I'll be 55 years old tomorrow. I've been doing this right here, what I'm doing right now, teaching the word of God, being a a voice for the kingdom for 35 years of my life as a full-time minister, for 40 years in ministry, man, some— there has to be a remnant of people that will receive, because I know it works, because it works for me. It has worked for me in my entire life. Anytime I've come beneath this and fell into mediocrity, it's because I wasn't applying what I know. Anyway, another message, another day. Ah, God. Oh God. So here's the, here's the piece. When we read last week, and, and I'm going where I need to go, I'm gonna be done in a moment. Trust me, I'm almost through. When Jesus took himself into the wilderness as he was led by the Holy Spirit, fasted for 40 days. When he came out— we read this last week— Satan took him up to a mountain, so he elevated him so he could see, and tempted him with the kingdoms of the world. Jesus refused to bow. Y'all remember that, right? And Here's a reality. Here's something. Here's why we don't see us present in the kingdom as we should. Lord, have mercy. As we should. Because too many saints of God, some so-called Christians, are bowing down to things that they think they need to bow down to. Systems, ways of living, ways of life. And I want to submit to you, what you bow down to on the way up is what will control you when you get to the top. So as we process entering into the world, becoming a representative of the kingdom, taking over these mountains, operating in what Jesus has already paid for, But that he took the keys away from death, hell, and the grave. Satan has no power. Satan should not be ruling. That rulership, that authority, family, is in us. It's in us. Rub your belly and say, it's in me. I need you to get this. It's in you. Stop bowing down to the world's way of operating, the world systems. We should be controlling these systems and taking over. We should be treading upon serpents and scorpions. Watch this, another word for serpents and scorpions in the Greek idea, in the aorist idea, the tone of these words in the Greek is systems and structures. We should be treading upon systems and structures, but we bucking, we're shouting, we're crying, we're falling out on the floor, and the structures are still standing. Standing, and they've been standing for a long time. But I'm telling you right now, our, our call is to serve the devil a death blow and tear these mountains down and emerge in authority in our particular sphere of influence. You know why? Because Jesus— that's why when we were just reading in Hebrews That text was telling us, man, we got to worship him because he's the king of an unshakable kingdom. We got to give him glory. He's worthy right now to receive what belongs to him. Let's go to Revelation 5:12. I got to get out of here, man. I'm almost done. Revelation— I hope you get something out of this tonight. Revelation 5:12. The Bible says, sing with a loud voice, worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Watch this. So he was slain. We, we love to, to embrace that idea about Jesus, right? He was crucified for our sins. So much so, people glorified that act as the end-all of salvation. It is only the introductory. Jesus didn't— he wasn't slain just so I can be saved and get to heaven. That's a part of it, thank God. But he was slain so that his kingdom can be merged on the earth and be advanced, and he could be glorified in the earth. Oh boy, watch this. Where is the Lamb that was slain to receive— watch this— power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory. Wait a minute, and blessing. Oh boy, oh boy. Wait a minute, I don't have time. God, I don't know why I read this verse. So our King, the King of the Kingdom who is the ruler of all mountains. I need— this is what worship is. Worship comes from actually an Anglo-Saxon word that means worth scope, which means you, you, you declare a worth in what you see, and you worship or pay homage to it based on the value you place on what you see. So, so God says when we establish just how valuable his death, his resurrection is to us, we begin to act in a position of authority and behavior on a day-to-day basis that's above mediocrity. Watch this, that returns to him power. So wait a minute, wait a minute. So it's not just the power to, to lay hands on the sick and they recover. It's not just the power to cast out devils. And I— Lord have mercy— I love great deliverance and miracles and deliverance that happen in church. I want you to hear me, I'm not against any of that. But we have power. This word power is exousia in Greek. I'm not going to be able to get— I mean, I'm not— it's going to be a part C of this Dimensional Mountains because I gotta, I gotta unpack this text. He says the Lamb is worthy to receive power. Exousia. Lord, Lord, have mercy. That's authority. It's inherent ability. What does that mean? That means when the Holy Ghost, who comes upon me, he is in me, but when he comes upon me, now I operate in the ability of Jesus. In the mountains of the world. Here. Woo! Shabba Yata. Utandi Asikia. Oh my God. I just need somebody right there just to give him praise for the power. Come on. I need you to praise him. He's worthy to be glorified, to be magnified, because you need to recognize you're not just some mediocre, oh my God, citizen or human. You are here on earth on assignment as an ambassador so that Christ can receive power. Woo! Glory to God. So that his authority can be on display through you. I know you wanna have good church. I know you do. I know you do. I know you do. But God says, listen, outside of that, I need you to have some power on earth. Oh God, receive power, receive power. This, this is so powerful, man. Oh, I ain't gonna get through. Jesus, stay with me please. I'm almost done, I'm almost done. I think I got about— I got a few people that's staying with me. Glory to God. Got so many folks bouncing in and out. It's okay. I want to appreciate those of you that are hungry, those of you that want this. I, I gotta harp on that word receive a minute. That word receive— now, you've been listening to me teach, anytime you've heard me say this, the word receive is the Greek word labano. Labano, is a violent word. It means to take and to seize. So if I'm going to operate in the glory dimension of mountains, I gotta go into the mountains of the world with the spirit of Labano to take and receive number one, power, exousia, authority, dunamis. Aba shianda, the expression of exousia. Kratos, the supernatural— watch this— manifestation and movement of power. So we show up in the world and start taking over these mountains, these kingdoms, so that in these mountains, the people that are in charge are people that Jesus himself are ruling these mountains through. It's not about having good church only. It's not about how much you shout, how much you bucked, and how hyped up you got, because the preacher could preach hard. What are you doing in the world? Are you mediocre? Shabbat. Are you operating excellence in the kingdom? Are you taking over systems and structures? Are you showing up in a way that Christ is actually ruling in the systems of the world through you, and he's being glorified because of that? I had an opportunity to, uh, my production company to work the, the SHRM, which is S-H-R-M 24. Uh, we served in a production capacity during this meeting in Chicago, 26,000+ people. Uh, one of the speakers, and I had an opportunity to spend some time with him, to meet him, was the CEO of Lowe's, who has entered into this mountain of business and economics. Electronics. I was very impressed by him because they gave him a Community Trailblazers Award. So SHRM is the Society of Human Resources Managers, uh, so they had all these major CEOs and stuff here. But this guy was very impressive because in his acceptance speech, he began to glorify God. He began to talk about the kingdom, and he began to say that he would not be where he is if it wasn't for his relationship with Jesus Christ. And because of that, there were many— glory to the name of God— that began to inquire, even in speaking, uh, in a press conference type setting, after inquiring of him, how does Jesus play the role? And he answered them with authority and power. The light of God was being shown to a group of people who basically are worldly, right? The reality is we have to move into these positions and take over, just like the CEO. No longer can we sit on our hands. The only way Jesus has power and a voice is through us. And he's— I'm telling you right now, he's looking for people. Who won't just look for a microphone or a pulpit to preach to other church folk, but who will show up in the world and rule through him. I got to get out of here, man. Uh, he says he's worthy to receive Labano, to take back power— wait a minute— and riches. Oh my God. Okay, so this word riches is ploutos. P-L-O-U-T-O-S in Greek, and you know what it means. It means money, it means wealth. So wealth, money, hallelujah, commerce and economics cannot come back into the kingdom until we show up in the mountains of the world and begin to operate in the Ooh, marketplace and mill giftings that God has placed inside of us and take over because the kingdom needs to be distributors of wealth. We shouldn't be out here chasing money from others. We should be distributing wealth to help the Commonwealth. Ooh, what the kingdom of God. And ensuring that people in the kingdom who are connected to the King are prospering. But you know what? In order to do that, we got— in order for a ploutos, glory to God, to manifest in the world, we got to be on the mountain. If you're not on the mountain— oh God, oh, I feel like running. I wish I had some people that wanted this. Glory to God. I know you want to, you want to go through the motions of good church. God says, I want you to get some riches, man. For too long in the church, we've been inebriated with the idiocracy. Oh my God, the idiocracy, or the idiotic idea that no one connected to God should be rich. And we use misinterpreted scriptures like, it's gonna be so hard. For a rich man to enter into the kingdom as it is a camel through the eye of a needle. Jesus was clearly talking about a wealthy person who doesn't know God. How does that apply to me if I know God and I'm already in the kingdom? I ain't got to get through the eye of a needle. Glory to God, I'm already in. We use dumb interpretations of the scripture like the poor— you have what you always— and think that should us and we settle for mediocrity. But we'll go buck, we'll go shout until we sweat, we'll create viral videos with people dancing and everybody broke. We'll create viral videos of a church full of people and only 1% in the building makes 6 figures a year. Oh, I'm coming down your street. Yep, I'm coming, I'm coming, I'm coming. If you don't want to hear this, turn me off now. But I'm telling you right now, and I'm very serious, as I go into this 55th year of my life on tomorrow, this next chapter of my life is about finding the hunger in people who can digest the message that God has entrusted me with. And teaching them how to go into the world and not just talk about it, but be about it and be a living example of giving these things back to our King. I just read it in Revelation. He's worthy to receive riches. How are you going to return riches in the name of God and create a Commonwealth, a kingdom system of wealth and riches, and you're broke? The church is the poorest demographic among people in the earth. That's a dangerous piece, man. It shouldn't be so. It's not what God has called us to. Stay with me and I'm gonna teach you how to show up. Keep following me, keep listening to these videos, because I'm going radical this next half of my life, and I'm not holding back anything. I'm gonna— I'm going to say it like God gives it to me. And who likes it, they like it. Who don't, they don't. Because at the end of the day, we have tolerated this injustice, really, because it's not God's way Watch it, it's an act of incivility. It's an aggressive, deliberate act of the enemy to suppress what's rightfully ours. The mountains belong to us. Oh, Shiba, otandi asorakayasii. If you're a child of God, just touch yourself and say, the mountains belong to me. The mountains belong to me. This is a dimension of glory. Tell me you walking in glory and you broke. I'm sorry. Where there's a lamb— I got to get out of here— that was slain to receive power and riches. Hear me. And wisdom. Okay. Okay, here we go. Let's, let's go. Sophia in Greek. Yeah, which is— are you ready? It's intelligence, it's skill, it's a diverse ability to be acute in knowledge. You need to know something more than something about church. I'm in— I've been in church all my life. I've been preaching over half of my life. Can I tell you something? You need to know something more than about church. You need to discover the acumen that's in you, the intelligence that's in you. You came to this planet with it. You need to show up in the mountain and release that skill set. Something wrong, and all you could do is dance. I listen, I love the Hammond B3, I love drums. I'm, I'm a classical Pentecostal. Glory to God, I had the best of both worlds. My, my, my grandma was PAW Apostolic. Glory to the name of God. My daddy was Pentecostal Holiness. The reality is I had the best of all worlds when it came to jumping, shouting, dancing, speaking in tongues. I love it. I'll never let go of my foundation. The reality is you need to do more than dance. You need to do more than have good church. Some— because otherwise you're going to stay mediocre. Someone said, who you calling mediocre? I'm— you, you, I'm— yeah, you, live about replay, I'm calling you. Mediocre. Shabbatoshia, mantorabatikushe. Let me tell you something. If you're stuck doing the same thing every day that you always do to make it, to live, and you're really not impacting the world around you, you're living a life of mediocrity. You're living beneath what has been planned, if you're not returning the supernatural Sophia, the supernatural wisdom that God is giving you, back to the world, I need you to hear me. You're living beneath your privilege. My time is about gone, y'all. He says, I— so this wisdom, these riches, this power It can't be returned to the King of Heaven unless we position ourselves in the mountains of the world and superimpose this authority that's already in us on them. I hope y'all getting this, man. Oh my God, I really hope to God that y'all receive this. So where there's a lamb that was slain to receive power, riches, wisdom— here we go— and strength. The word strength here in Greek is isis, and it is ability, it's force, it's might. So when you show up in the mountains of the world and begin to take them over, you don't show up alone. You show up with the force and the might of God with you. To take control, to take authority over these mountains. Oh my God, did they— oh my God, I got to get out of here, man. I got to go, I got to go, I gotta go, because I can stay right here. But the reality is, most saints— glory to God— Hallelujah. Most saints are caught up— hear me, good God— in producing strength or wisdom and power and force inside of an edifice that we call the church. But it's interesting that the church— the word church actually didn't show up until, oh my God, the New Testament. And when it showed up in the Gospels, it's translated from the word ecclesia. And Jesus wasn't even speaking of what we called church. He actually was talking about called-out people who are called out to the world to superimpose themselves in force and might and power. Go into the hedges and highways and compel them, make them through your ability, through your influence, through your light to come in. So when you operate in this level of strength, it's a strength that's fused in love, that when you come like this in this authority, because, ooh, you're successful, you're anointed, and you love Jesus. You become irresistible to those that don't know him. All I'm saying is the supernatural should be on display in every place. Thank you, Bruce, I received that. Glory to— and I thank you for the happy birthday, man of God. Glory to God. Listen, I need you to understand something. God's not finished with you. There's more. I gotta quit. He says, and strength and honor Oh my God, timing, which is actually spelled like time, but it's tiny in Greek. It— watch this— it is to be valued by a fixed price. It is, oh my God, the honor to one in high authority. So Jesus is deserving of the honor that we give him through our life because of the fact that he was slain. So he's worthy that we represent him in power, riches, wisdom, and strength and honor because he was slain. Watch this, I don't have time. And glory, which is doxa in Hebrew, which is amandi asalabaya, which is the splendor, the brightness of God. So when we start taking over mountains, the splendor and brightness of God is revealed. And blessing, the one jilzia, which means we become a good recommendation. Our life speaks well of our King because we showed up in the world, and so our life becomes a blessing to God and people come to him. I'm stopping right here, guys. I'm stopping. I'm not finished, but I'm stopping. I want to pray for you. Father, I thank you for this word. Thank you for taking it over, Holy Spirit. I pray that someone heard, and I pray, God, that we will begin to move in the authority you've given us to show up and take over. And I pray, dear God, yes, Father, that no weapon formed against us will be able to prosper. I pray, God, that we will represent you in power. We will represent you in riches. We'll represent you in strength and honor. We'll represent you in blessing and glory. And Father, we thank you that as we move like this, we'll begin to unlock the dimension of mountains among men. And they will look to the mountain of God for help, as many of us have looked to the hills, the mountains of God for help, and our help has been distributed from you. And I pray, God, even as I pray tonight, every person under the sound of my voice will realize that they are not their own, but that help— hallelujah— you, comes from you, and that you are strengthened, that we've been manufactured with everything we need already in us. So yeah, I thank you, God, for creating riches and wealth and glory and power and honor and blessing and breakthrough in the lives of those that have heard your word tonight, and even those that hadn't, God. God, bring them into the revelation of how we should show up. And I give you praise for it now in Jesus' mighty name. Amen and amen. Oh my God, Jesus, I pray tonight has been a blessing to you. Tomorrow, family, I celebrate 55 years of life. I want you to pray for me as we move into this next phase. Uh, feels kind of strange because every year on my birthday— and I'm done, thank you for tuning in— uh, I— my wife usually asks me what I want to do. I always say I want to have church. Um, this year, no church, no celebrations, no Nope, none of that. I've been reflecting all week. I've been working on a piece, uh, for a while now, and I just kind of revisited some of those thoughts. I'm working on a piece called The Disciplines of Execution, and I, I really believe that this next phase of my life is about execution. And so I wanted to go into 55 with a massive action plan to start executing on a level that actually produces the results I know I'm able to produce. I've been confessing that I will be a billionaire. It's time for those things to start manifesting in abundance. I've been confessing, you know, glory to the name of God, igniting a revival, birthing out leaders, traveling into the marketplace releasing books. So I've been working on these plans of execution so I can discipline myself around them. So pray for me. That's, that's what— more than anything, I want you to pray for me on this 55th year of life. If you desire to be a blessing to ministry, please, the ways to give are scrolling at the bottom of the screen right now. Get your seed in the ground and be a blessing to ministry. Not asking you for anything for me. Be a blessing to the church. Our church is in deep need of a worship facility. When we left the last place we worshiped, Spirit of God said to me not to sign another lease. I am bound to obey that. I believe God is going to bless us with a building, glory to the name of God, where we have no mortgage, we have no lease. I believe God is going to open that wide door, but your support is necessary as we continue to create accumulation toward that goal. So please get your seed in the ground. I love y'all, man. Thank you again. Thank my family. I appreciate y'all for all you do. We couldn't do any of what we do without you, so continue to be of support, continue to be bought in. Our greatest days ahead. I love y'all. Y'all be blessed. Heaven smile upon you is my prayer. Peace. Thank you, Lord. Haishibo to rabbi. Thank you, Jesus. Blessings, blessings, blessings, blessings, blessings, blessings. Glory. Hallelujah.
