THE KINGS CONSTITUTION | DR. MIKE WOODS, SR. | 27 NOVEMBER 2025

Well, grace and peace everyone from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is Apostle Mike Woods and welcome to our Thanksgiving Day live stream. Listen, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from Felicia and myself. Uh, we're so grateful for all of you. Thank you for your support. Thank you for praying for us. Thank you for those of you that really are plugged into what God has called us to do. It means so much and Listen, we can't do it without you. And I won't even take a moment to thank God for my enemies, all those that war against us. Listen, it just keeps us on our face, it keeps us focused, it keeps our faith sharp. So we thank God for you too. Welcome everybody today, uh, I pray your Thanksgiving Day is getting off to a great start. Uh, please comment below, say hello, uh, let us know that you are here, uh, right now. It looks like, praise God, we got about 1,584 people watching us. Uh, I think, you know, that's gonna span from, uh, the 3 Facebook pages and YouTube. Wherever you're watching us, glory to God, I want to thank you for being here. Stay with us this whole hour. Um, listen, man shall not live by turkey alone, right? Or chitterlings alone or dressing alone. I can't wait to eat some of that today. Uh, my wife gave me a sample of the potato salad last night and I almost attacked the entire bowl, but I exercised, uh, some discipline and did not because it was so good. So I can't wait to dive into that later today. But right now we need the word of the Lord. Amen. And we're going to dive right into this. So again, 1,645 people watching us right now, again, over 3 Facebook pages. YouTube. Listen, wherever you are, do me a favor, comment below and share. Uh, thank you for being here on this very, uh, powerful Thanksgiving holiday. I see some people coming in. Uh, Happy Thanksgiving, Mertis. Good to see you here this morning. I pray you and your husband are having a super day so far, you and your family. Uh, God bless you. Uh, Tanya Kirby, good to see you on. Happy Thanksgiving to you. Uh, God bless you, Nicole. Good to see you. Happy Thanksgiving to you, Stephanie. Good to see you, daughter. Happy Thanksgiving to you as well. Glory to God. Uh, Apostle Jackie Bell, good to see you, woman of God. Thank you for being here with us. Uh, tell the man of God we said hello. Glory to God. And glory to God, Apostle Asia, my sister. God bless you all. Glad that you're here. God is so good. God is so amazing. Again, uh, please, if, if everybody that's on right now share this, uh, this could be an amazing opportunity to get the word out to a lot of people. Uh, there are 1,000— matter of fact, it just jumped up to 1,814 while I was talking, uh, watching us. Please, uh, share, uh, this live stream. I promise you, uh, this word today is going to be a blessing. But before we dive into this I want to take just a moment, guys. There's my wife. Glory to God. She's saying Happy Thanksgiving to everyone. Glory to the name of God. Uh, again, we both love you all and we thank you, uh, for the love and support you give us. Praise the name of God. Uh, God bless FBC Song References. I'm gonna figure out who that is, uh, at some point. Glory to God. Uh, this person is on a lot. We love you. Thank you for supporting. Uh, but I don't know who FBC Song References is. If somebody knows, y'all, y'all let me know because that supports a lot. Thank you so much for being on and commenting and engaging. Uh, before we jump into this, really quick, guys, I want to do something, uh, because while I believe— I truly believe that we should give thanks unto the Lord every single day because we could do nothing without him. Matter of fact, there should be a cognitive reality— watch this— that it is in him we live It's in him we move, it's in him we have our being. We can't do anything without the Lord. I'm gonna say that again: we can't do anything without the Lord. So there has to be a cognitive reality that it's him that causes us to live. So every single day we ought to be thankful. And you know, the late Mother Elsie Shaw, who was a very powerful woman of God, She used to say, God would meet you in a thank you. And she would— I could remember her as a teenager and even as a young adult, in my young adult life, going to services where she was at. And she would get up and just tell people to begin to clap. And a lot of times you may see me do this, clap your hands and tell the Lord thank you. She would do that because that was embedded in me early, because she would say, God will meet you in a thank you. And I will see people get healed. Tumors dry up. I will see cancers dry up. I will see people get out of wheelchairs just by thanking the Lord for his goodness and showing gratitude. So in this moment right here, glory to God, here's what I'd like for you to do. Glory to God. For everybody that's on, praise the name of God, if in the comments, I just want you to engage for a moment. If you— again, there's 1,500 plus on right now. Glory to the name of God. If everybody that's on, glory to God, Uh, if you would just oblige me for a few moments, and we're going to jump into this word. And just in the comments, glory to God, I'm gonna put up a video and then I'm gonna come back and teach right after this video. Uh, but if you would just begin to write in the comments the thing, or the things if you like, that you are thankful for in this moment, in this day. Uh, just publicly let the world know. The Bible said let the redeemed of the Lord say so. I'm asking you this morning to let the thankful of the Lord say so. Glory to the name of God. I want you to, in the comments, write the thing that you're most gracious and thankful and have gratitude for on this Thanksgiving Day. This video is going to play while you're doing it. I want you to think about it, listen to the video, write what you are grateful to God for, because I'm telling you for real, family, it's all coming together And whatever you need God to do, he's going to do it in your life. Check this out. It's all around us, this goodness of God working his goodwill and gracious love to his children, spreading his common grace to a world that hardly takes notice. We don't see it most days. The busyness, the to-do list, the errands, and the dinners and meetings. It all blurs together. But they are there, the tiny little blessings that keep hope in our heart and remind us that God is present, helping our day when we let him, showing us kindness when we take time to look, and supplying the needs we depend on but rarely see. Thousands of blessings, some we'll never even understand in this lifetime. The invisible working through the visible. Protecting. Providing. Purifying. All because God is good. Small moments, quiet mercies, everyday graces— they all add up to gratitude. Yes, Lord. So, Father, we thank you right now for this day. And again, I'm asking you, God, for cognitive reality. God, give us intellectual insight to the fact that we cannot live without you. God, may we know you more. May we walk with you more nearly. May we love you today more dearly. May you, God, do something in our life that has never been done before. God, bless our family, bless our children. We're thanking you today, God, that you will cause our life— all of those that are listening and watching right now, I decree and declare, God, that our life, glory to God, will be a light to the world, that we will be a city that sits on a hill that cannot be hid. And Father, I thank you that even as we gather with family and assemble with family and friends today, God, may our lives be a light, and may people see the glory that rests upon us, that they won't glory in us, but they'll wonder what is it they'll ask. And Father, give us opportunities today to share the gospel and cause men to be introduced to you and men to be discipled and changed. And Father, I give you praise for that now. So many times in the church we've forgotten that this is a part of our mission. And so what a great day where we'll be encountering other family and friends to be a light, to, to be used of you to impart the goodness of God to others. And so, Father, I release that power on everyone under the sound of my voice to walk out your word and to be a living expression of who you are, in the mighty name of Jesus. And Father, I'm asking you now that even as we teach this morning, before we partake of Thanksgiving dinner, we, we will sit at the table of your word and we will eat your word this morning, God. God, I pray that this word will penetrate everything in us that's not like you. Forgive us of our sin, forgive us of our wrong. God, any thought, deed, or action that we have done that's not of you— God, have mercy on your people today and give us the purity and the liberty to walk out the word that we shall receive. And we give you praise and glory for it now. In Jesus' name. Amen. Glory to God. I— listen, I want to appreciate all of you. Glory to God for writing what you were thankful for in the comments. I mean, I saw some amazing things: family, salvation, grace. Glory to God. Growth, leadership, testimony, home. Uh, just some amazing things. Peace that surpasses all understanding. I mean, listen, you have to be thankful unto God He's a great God. He's a mighty God. Listen, this morning, uh, I'm not going to be long. I'm not going to worry your patience, but I do want to share what the Lord has given me. I'm going to be talking this morning about the King's Constitution. Glory to God. Uh, I have been, uh, teaching, glory to God, on the Apostolic and the Kingdom for the last probably 4 weeks. I even took that message And we taught some parts of that in Mississippi when we was in revival a few— about a week ago. And I want to kind of get into what I believe is one of the substratums of kingdom culture, and it is kingdom constitution. So stay with me because this today, family, is going to be something that I believe will be extremely, extremely helpful if we grasp it, praise God, if we receive it, and we allow God, uh, to get the glory out of this teaching in our life, and if we choose to walk it out. Um, let's start here. Let's, let's read John, Saint John's Gospel, and, uh, I'm gonna read verses 1 through 5, and then I'm gonna jump down to verse number 14. All right. The Bible says this, you'll find this intelligence. It says, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was God. I love this. And the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and apart from him nothing came into being that was— oh my God— that has come into being. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it. I love this. Verse 14: And the Word became flesh. I feel Jesus, yo. Glory. I'm trying to behave this morning. Watch this. And dwelt among us, we saw his glory, glory as the only begotten of the Father. Watch this. Full of grace and full of truth. Now, as we unpack this message, we're going to come back to this. But I wanted to read it for substratum, for foundation, because we gotta understand that every kingdom— so our King was there in the beginning, right? We, we— I will say this now, he was there in the beginning. It declares that he is the Word, but also it says that the Word is with him. Hallelujah. And the Word is him. So now watch this. The kingdom constitution is literally the Word of God, because anytime a king— hear me— decrees a thing, it is law. I'm gonna say that again. Anytime a king decrees a thing, it is law. So whenever a king makes a declaration, it becomes law. It cannot be changed, it cannot be revoked by the citizens of the kingdom, or anyone for that matter, unless the king himself overturn his degree. So that means if the word of God— hear me— is the constitution for kingdom citizens, whatever God has spoken concerning us, whatever promises he's made to us— somebody get excited about that right there, glory to God— whatever promises he has made, the enemy cannot revoke those promises. Oh, the only thing the enemy can do— hear me, family— is— I'm trying to be nice, God. We got 1,518 people on here. I'm trying to be nice, y'all. Glory to God. But I feel Jesus on this Thanksgiving morning. Glory to God. Listen, I want you to understand that No matter what your life looks like right now, there's a promise over it that derives from the mouth of God that the enemy cannot reverse. Everything he's doing, the devil, is trying to distract you, break your focus, and break your faith so you won't believe that what God said concerning you is real. Can I submit to you that the devil— hear me— is a hitman. Oh boy, and you're on his hit list. He's a hitman. He's out to get you. And his main focus is to break your focus so you won't receive what the Constitution has said about you. And watch this, the authority the Constitution has given you— oh my God— against the devil. Oh, I'm telling you something. Let me tell you something. You've already won according to scripture. So I just— in looking at this, you know, let's just, let's just get into some of the government side of this and how this looks when we start talking about Constitution. So I remember the Middle East War, uh, when, um, the U— the U.S. military forces invaded Iraq, right? and they invaded Iraq and the— all the nations that actually were in alliance with Iraq. Hear me, uh, their first objective after taking down Saddam Hussein— watch this— was to create a new nation. Listen, it's interesting to know that the first order of business was to construct a constitution. All right, they wanted to put in place a constitution that the citizens would have a guide to live by. It took literal months for that particular exercise to be completed. Now, in the kingdom, you got to understand The kingdom, or the basileia in Greek, is a government that's ruled by the king, where his will, his authority, his weight, his splendor, his light, his illumination, his wealth, and his purposes impact society. I'm gonna say that again. The kingdom is a heavenly government that is ruled by King Jesus. Hear me, I'm just— I'm adding this in now so you can get the rest of it. Hallelujah. Where his will, his authority, his weight, his splendor, his light, his illumination— oh my God— his wealth and his purposes impact the earth. How does that happen? That happens The impact on the earth is made when you and I as kingdom citizens— oh, I feel like running this morning, glory to God— when you and I as kingdom citizens, hear me, when we— when we get in our rightful place, glory to God, Woo! We now carry the authority. We carry the weight, the splendor, the intelligence, the light, the illumination, the wealth, and the purposes of the King to the earth whereby we make an impact on the earth because we're in line, we're surrendered, and now the King's way and desire can flow out of us into the world. Oh my God, I pray you're getting this. Listen, the heart of all nations, empires, kingdoms is a constitution. Even in this nation we live in, it has a constitution. And watch this, they have amended this constitution so many times, but the reality is even this constitution in these United States were built on biblical principles from the Founding Fathers. Watch this. It has been amended to accommodate the comforts and the democratic desires of a democracy so that people can feel like they're living free. Oh, glory to God! Because people have complained that they don't want to align with the Kingdom Constitution. But watch this. There could be no nation, no kingdom without a constitution. And in a republic, the constitution is the covenant— watch this— that the people make with themselves and the person or persons that they hire through their vote. Now, in the kingdom, you can't hire God, you can't fire him, but you do come into a covenant with what he has already decreed. I'm teaching this faster than I really want to, y'all, but I pray y'all getting something out of this. If you're getting something out of this, just type some hands, glory to God, hallelujah, in the comments so I can see. Praise the name of God, hallelujah. We give God praise, we give God glory, oh, we bless his holy name. So it's a, a republic that has a covenant with the people. So the kingdom again is a republic that has a covenant with the people— watch this— to carry out that covenant as long as both parties do their part to fulfill the covenant. So in order for the Constitution to come forth, the king's covenant has to align Oh my God, in principle with how you live, how you behave, how you think. Are y'all hearing this? You have to become a person who has a kingdom mindset. Oh my God, oh, we give you praise, God. You cannot think like the world. You cannot think religious. You cannot think inside of a box. You have to think like a child of a king that carries his authority. Carries his weight, carries his splendor, carries his wealth, carries his purposes to make an impact in the world. So let's break down some characteristics of a constitution. All right, number one, you might want to write these down, and I'm gonna get where I need to be. I'm not gonna be long. I just sound like it. I'm almost— I'm already 20 minutes in. Glory to God. Let's give you some characteristics of a constitution. On this Thanksgiving Day. I'm gonna give you— I'm giving you some soul food, y'all, so stay with me. This, this ain't belly food, we're gonna get that later, but this is soul food. Oh my God, this is so cool. Glory to God. And listen, I, I'm gonna— I'm trying to give you some meat so you can walk out the word and walk out the promises of the Constitution in your life. So here's some characteristics. Number 1, In a republic like democracy in the United States, it's we the people. But in a kingdom, it's thus says the king. Oh, oh boy. So, so the people have a voice in the republic on how they want the democracy to look. That's why there's so many amendments, so many changes. That's why so many redefinitions of marriage in the United States. All kind of stuff. Glory to the name of God. We have another message for another day. We're not going to even get into that. But the reality is, in a kingdom, it's thus says the king. I'm sorry, but you and I, we don't get a say in how God's kingdom is ran. We are citizens, and our job is to obey what the king says. And I think, family, here we go, this might be part of the problem. We got a whole lot of people who don't want to obey. We got a whole lot of people, family, who want to do their own thing. And we're trying to even amend God's Constitution. Oh my God, but you can't. It's what he said is what he said, all right? And so we have to now become people who are in the word. Watch this, because the word became flesh and dwelt among us. It moved in with us. So not only did Jesus walk the earth, Jesus made sure word was still with you when he left. He said, these things I have done, but greater things you shall do, because I go to my Father, and I'll send you another Comforter, uh, Apo Parakletos, to take my place, who will live in you and who will lead and guide you into word, into covenant. Glory to the name of God. So when the Holy Ghost moves in His job is not just for us to tongue talk, jump, shout, roll on the floor, fall out, exhibit gifts. But watch this, the word comes so you can live a life that is fulfilled in the kingdom constitution. And that word, the Holy Spirit is constantly leading you to the truth that you're supposed to be living in. Okay, let me move. I stayed on that too long. Number 2, family, write this down. Pray y'all getting something out of this. Yeah, throw some hands up in the comments if you're getting something out of it. Glory to God. Number 2: in a kingdom, in a kingdom, all power resides with the king and his constitution. Oh boy. And the citizens only have power that is delegated by the king and his constitution. So the people— watch this— only operate in a power that is released from the king that's in the kingdom, unlike the people that are out of control and going crazy in the world because everybody wants to do what they want to do. I call the world— my, my, my colloquial term for the world is The Addams Family. Now I know you've probably seen the show. I'm dating myself, but I used to come home after school and one of the shows I watched when I got out of school every day, I would watch Ultraman and I will watch The Addams Family. I don't know why I like The Addams Family, but it was these just weird, spooky, Frankenstein-looking folk, but they were just weird. And the theme song said they do what they want to do, they say what they want to say, they play how they want to play. Now watch this. We come— we are descendants of the first Adam until the second Adam moves in, introduces us to Constitution, changes our life. But if you still connected to the first Adam, the flesh, the failure of the first Adam— oh my God— you're operating in carnality. You're operating without a renewed mind, and now you're operating in a fleshly way where you feel like you're in control and God is not. But remember I said in the beginning that we need a cognitive reality that is in him we live, in him we move, in him we have our being. Once that registers, that we are really alive and breathing because of God and not ourselves, it'll change how we live. I'm a witness. Listen, I'm telling you right now, when you really know God is real, you'll start thinking before you do certain things because you know he's alive and well. And first of all, he lives in you. And you'll think twice about sin. You'll think twice about slander. You'll, you'll think twice about destroying people. Oh my God, because you have him in you. Oh, I wish I had some help here. Glory to God. So here we go, let's move, let's move, let's move, let's move. Oh my God, let's move. So all power in the kingdom resides in the kingdom. You don't have a I'm sorry, I, I wish I could tell you this kingdom that we operate in is a democracy. It's not. You have no voice when you know God. Watch this, you're okay with that because guess what? You understand he's omniscient, he know everything. He's omnipotent, he's got all power. He's omnipresent, he's everywhere at the same time. So you understand, glory to God, I serve the true and living God and it's okay for me not to have a voice. He know what I don't know. Can I submit to you today? He knows where you are, right where you are right now. God knows where you are. Oh, but he also knows where you're going. He knows, right, the situation you're in right now, but he also knows where you are going. Boy, that is so good. He's already clear about what your end looks like. He— because he knows everything. So it behooves you to build strong relationship with him, to grow, to have maturation in the things of God. Are you hearing this? So that you'll know what's on his mind concerning you. I gotta get through this. Number 3, let me go. So the Constitution— again, we're talking today about the King's Constitution. Glory to God, that's what we're discussing, that's what we're discussing, the King's Constitution. That's what we're talking about. So number 3, the Constitution is a royal contract— watch this— that the king has with his citizens. Oh, it's a royal contract that the king has with his citizens. So good God Almighty, so why wouldn't you read the word of God? See, this is why the devil tricks so many people from not wanting to hear the word and study the word. Oh. Come here, Paul and Timothy. Paul told Timothy, uh, apostolic father to a son, he said, oh, glory to God, I feel Jesus, y'all, y'all, y'all, excuse me, I feel Jesus. He told him, he said, look, study to show yourself approved, a workman that need not be ashamed, rightfully dividing the word of truth. Now watch this, most preachers took that text and they make it about preaching. First of all, preachers, let me talk to my preachers a moment. Stop studying to preach. I don't study to preach, I pray to preach. Glory! Oh, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy! I don't study to preach, I pray to preach. And then when God gives me a word, I open the book and I study with Holy Ghost. Glory to God, what I'm supposed to say. Oh, glory. That text ain't about preaching. He said that you will be a workman that need not be ashamed, not a preacher. The word workman in Greek is ernege, which is one that shows up in the world and lives among the people. So when you're living among the people and show up in the world, he says study to show that you are approved. That your life has been approved by God, that the principles of God are working in your life when you show up in the world. That ain't got nothing to do with standing in the pulpit. Oh my God, oh my God, ain't got nothing to do with it. You pray to preach, man. You pray to teach. Glory to God. And then you study with Holy Ghost to impart to the people what they need. But you study to live. Oh, glory to God! You study the word of God so you'll know how you're supposed to live, so you can live that approved life, to show yourself to others so they can see that your life has been approved by God. Because they see the blessing on your life, they see the power on your life, they see the anointing on your life because you're studying to walk out a kingdom contract. Oh God, I stand on that. I'll stand on this stuff too long. I gotta get out of here. You're studying to walk out a contract. My God, hallelujah! So that others will see it and say, oh my God, how do I get involved with that contract you got? How do I tap in to what you're doing? Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go. Oh boy, here we go. All right, all right, number 4. Let me go because I can stay on all these all day. Number 4, number 4, number 4. The Constitution, which again, we're again, again today, again today, again today, we're talking about the King's Constitution, right? So the Constitution, here we go, is the King's will and testament. Number 4. So old will, new will. Old Testament, New Testament, last will and testament. God have left this book as a constitution for you and I to live by, for you and I to be approved in the world. Hallelujah! So that he can get glory through our lives. This, this constitution, glory to God, is what he has declared for his people. That's why you need to study it again. That's why you need to read it. You ever notice when you go to read the Bible, sleep demons just jump on your shoulder and you fall asleep? Because guess what? The enemy don't want you to get the tenets of the contract. Some of y'all could be in church, praise and worship going on, you going in, you, you dancing and praising and hollering. Then the word come forth, that demon sit on your shoulder, says, sleep my child, sleep my child. And there you go, you out, because he don't want you to get God's will and testament for your life. Glory to God. Number 5, let me keep going. The Constitution in the kingdom constitutes— watch this— the expressed will of the King. In other words, the book tells us what the desire of the King is in terms of how we show up in the world, what we look like when we show up. Oh my God, oh my— I gotta go because some of y'all thinking about turkey. Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go. This will— watch this— is expressed tangibly through our lifestyle. As we pick up the written rhema. The— and rhema, the Greek word rhema, is literally to take revelation of God's word, his constitution, and put it in proper grammatical expression. Or watch this, or proper tangible expression so others can see it, others can experience it. Because watch this, living out the constitution is all about allowing others to know who God is in our lives. So we don't just go to church and hear the word. Are y'all hearing this? We gotta live this thing. Don't just be a hearer only, we got to be a doer. We got to do the Constitution. Are y'all here? Thank you, James. Thank you, James, for that. Hallelujah. So It's not limited to an oral contract. So God says what he says, but watch this, we have to say what we say and then do what we do. But God's gonna do his part too. I'm a witness that God will do what he said he will do in his word. It's not just another book of archaic writings. The Bible says in the book of Hebrews 4 that the word of God is quick It is powerful, is sharper than any two-edged sword. Oh God, have mercy! It's so powerful. Glory to Jesus. It could cut away everything in you that's not like God and impart into you everything you need from him. But you got to spend time with the word, which is him. We read that in John 1, right? Number 6, let me keep reading. Oh God, the Bible is the express will of the King in written form. It is the Constitution. So watch this. So now let's look at this. Let's just break this down. I got 16 minutes to do this. That all was introduction. Stay with me, I'm gonna break this down in 16 minutes. Y'all stay with me. Hebrews 4:12. I just quoted it, I'm gonna read it. It says, for the word of God is quick and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder— hear me— of soul and spirit and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. Oh my God. So the word is quick, which means it's alive. Again, it's not just a poetic, archaic, historical book. It's alive. There it is, a life-giving book. Watch this, it is a book that breathes. Glory to God. So, whoosh, it's sacred. And watch this, in the church we must now restore our reverence for the things that are sacred. Are y'all hearing this? The whole— the Bible, the word of God, is alive. I say it's powerful, it's full of energy. The word energies in Greek is full of energy, it's full of motivation, it's full of what you need to thrust you forward. If you feel like you're stuck, get in the word. Oh boy, you feel like nothing's moving in your life, Get in the word. You feel like you can't break through in a certain area? The word has the power to break you through. It's powerful. It's sharper than any two-edged sword. It divides asunder soul and spirit. Soul, mind, will, and emotion. Spirit, your zoe life, which is the life of God breathed in you. So what the word of God does, it divides your own mind, will, and emotion from your spirit man. Hear me, so that the spirit man now becomes distinctively the chief influence in your life. Most people are soulical. They're driven by their senses, what's in their soul— their eyes, their nose, their ears, their mouth, their ability to touch. They're driven by their their personal intellect or their personal abilities, their psychology, psyche. Glory to the name of God. But Zoe should be the influencer. And where Holy Ghost moves in now, inside of your trichotomy, the Holy Ghost should be allowed to emerge and be the person that drives every decision, every word, every thought, every deed in your life. When that does not happen, you say things out of your soul, you say things out of your flesh. Oh boy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy, Lord have mercy. Because which is your bios life. So you got zoe, psuche, bios, three parts: body, soul, spirit. Zoe is your spirit, psuche psychology, your soul, bios biology, your body. No good thing comes out of the body. So in order to get a great manifestation out of your body, the spirit man has to be in control. Lord have mercy, I wish I had time. So the kingdom constitution is alive. So that's the first thing I want you to remember. If you don't remember nothing else right now, please remember all this. If you need to go back and watch it because you need this. Glory to God. Hallelujah. We give you praise and We thank you for your goodness, God. We thank you for your mercy. We thank you for your grace. Hallelujah. So the Kingdom Constitution is alive. It's not dead, it's alive. Getting the word, stay there. Hallelujah. And you'll live life in a different dimension. See, we cannot— whoo— we cannot, glory to God, disdain the importance of the word. We read in the beginning, in the beginning was the word. Word. So before anything was, there was word. And the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So watch this, when you intertwine with the Living Word, you're actually intertwining with the Living God. So the King— write that down— the Kingdom Constitution is alive. It's not a dead piece of paper. And watch this, it don't matter, you know, some people caught up in the, in the how people read it. I'm telling you, the word is alive no matter how you read it, whether you using technology like I'm using on my iPad reading the word today, or you picking up your Bible. Sometimes I want to just feel the Bible. That's just me, but I ain't gonna beat you up for that. Reality, the word itself is alive, and you gotta let it be alive in your life and work in your life. The power— oh my God— the authority, the ability, the Oh God, the glory and the wealth and the purposes that have been ordained for you out of this word that's alive. I gotta go, I got 11 minutes, guys, I gotta get out of here. Number 2, write it down: the kingdom constitution— and y'all heard me talking about this earlier— cannot be amended. How the Constitution of the United States have lobbyists who lobby to amend certain things in the Constitution so that a certain sect of society who feels threatened by that part of the Constitution will feel democratic, will feel free. In the kingdom, we cannot amend the Constitution. We cannot change it. So for all of these people out here who are inclusionists, these people out here who say we need the— that follows the camp of people like Yvette Flunder and the people that follow the camp of people like Carlton Pearson and all of these crazy folks who don't have a relationship with the word. They're just religious. They've been in church, and because the word just would not undergird what they want to do, their lifestyle, because they had no real power that engaged in the word to change them. Yes, you can be changed if you're a homosexual. You can be changed if you are a whoremonger. You can be changed if you're a liar. You can be changed if you are a lesbian. You can be changed. You can be changed. But what they rather do is amend. Somebody said, 'Apostle, you call them full name.' I sure did, because they are blatantly out here telling folk— glory to the name of God— that— and then you got preachers out here like George Bloomer and all these other preachers, because they have certain stages, who sit and talk to these people who too stupid to tell them. Oh yeah, listen, I'm telling— I'm on one, I'm on one. I'm on this apostolic kick, man. I just got to bring order to the body. I don't care, I really don't care. I'm gonna say what God tell me to say. These people are wrong. And if you say there's no God, you want to change the Bible to fit your lifestyle because you're homosexual, you're a lesbian, you're a whoremonger, you're a liar, you can't get it together— listen, God loves you enough that if you submit to him, he'll change your life. Listen, I'm a witness. He, he changed me. I know he could change you. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, I'm gonna keep moving. So you can't amend this. How you know that, Apostle? Well, there's a guy, his name is Prophet Isaiah. He said this in the 40th chapter and the 8th verse. He said the grass withers, uh, yeah, I didn't say your favorite internet prophet, but I'm talking about the prophet Isaiah. He said, the grass withers, the flower fades— watch this— but the word stands forever. That sounds like to me that the word cannot be amended. The Constitution cannot be changed. I told you, when the king decrees a thing, it's law. You can't change it. But what the word can do if you surrender is change you. Oh my God, it's change you. Oh my God, it can change you. So write it down: the kingdom constitution cannot be amended. Mark 13:31. Here's another thing to this. Watch this, watch this, stay with me. And here's another guy that walked the earth that I think is worth listening to. His name is Jesus Christ. He said, for those of you that want a new canon and want to change the Constitution, he said in Mark 13:31, heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away. So wait a minute, so again, he can't be changed. All right, did this— this guy, this is Jesus. He's who is the Word. It's okay, my word ain't gonna never change again. It will change you if you allow it, but this word ain't gonna never change. All right, let me get another one. Kingdom cannot be— Constitution, I'm sorry, the Kingdom Constitution cannot be amended. It. Devil, you're a liar. Glory to God, it cannot. I don't care who said it. Hebrews 6, verses 1 through 6, let me read it. Therefore, leaving the principles teachings about Christ— in other words, let's leave the elementary pediatric teachings about Christ— let us press on to maturity. Not laying again foundation of repentance from dead works and faith toward God. So in other words, God says we got to grow up from foundational religious thinking, religious teaching, religious ideas, and we got to grow up in God and graduate to new dimensions, new levels, and get off them Oh my God, the Similac. I almost said something, I'm trying to be nice. Get off the Similac. We done already dropped down to like 1,392. We started out good, we was almost at 2,000 people. I knew it was gonna get worse as we moved on because, because listen, I know everybody don't want truth. Glory to the name of God. The reality is, oh my God, You ought to want to grow up in the things of God, because the more you grow up and lead the principles of the doctrines of Christ, and you're not laying again foundations of repentance, which means you ain't got to keep repenting for the same thing over and over again. You ought to grow up from the root, grow up like a tree. It gets planted, it never detaches from its roots. The roots is what keep it alive. Christ is what keeps us alive. The cross is what keeps us alive. But then we grow up like that tree, away away from the root. Away from the root. It's still there, but now all you see is a good blooming tree that's bringing forth fruit that the world can eat off because that fruit is approved. Oh my God. Oh, Shabbat Yosseh. God, I give you glory. Now verse 2, the Bible says, watch, faith toward God. Verse number 2, Hebrews 6:2, of instruction about washings and laying on the hands and the resurrection of the dead. And eternal judgment. Verse 3: And this we will do if God permits. For in this case, those who have been once enlightened have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they crucified to themselves the Son of God and put him to open Shady. Okay, this is so crazy right here. Watch this. So you got a group of people who have actually never tasted God. They were in church, they were never enlightened by the heavenly gift, they never had an encounter with heaven for real. Oh my God, I feel you, Jesus. They never knew him, and that's a tragedy. That's tragic. And, and how I know it, because they fell away. Because the Bible says it's impossible for you to fall away here if you taste him, if you encounter him. It's impossible for you. Oh my gosh, it's impossible, people. For you to walk away from God if you tasted him before. Oh God, if you've been— listen, I don't care. This Michael Woods, I don't care if an angel comes and preaches another gospel. I am standing in what I know this book says. The reason people can get behind all of this stuff that justifies their sin, that justifies their lifestyle, that justifies religious activity, is because they never really tasted God. And this is why we need apostles, and prophets who are authentically ordained by God to relay the foundation of the church, because the church is built on the foundation of apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ being the chief cornerstone. We must begin to declare the Constitution like never before. So the Constitution is alive. The Constitution cannot be amended. Glory to God. And then thirdly, the Constitution gives us hope. O shabba diosiah. Kingdom Constitution is a book that no matter what you're going through, and on this Thanksgiving Day, I got about 3 minutes left in this live stream, I want to challenge you. That in any area of your life where you find that hope is missing, it's this book, it's this constitution that gives you reason to hope. The Bible says in Psalm 119, verses 49 through 51— y'all stay with me— remember the word to your servant, hear me, in which you have made me to hope. Verse 50: This is my comfort in affliction. Your word has revived me. The arrogant— verse 51— utterly deride me, laugh at me, yet I do not turn aside from your law. Listen, people will ridicule you, so it's a reason to hope when you're in derision, when people are talking about you, lying on you, when people are coming against your standing. God, that's a good thing. Keep standing. Glory to God. This word gives you hope. That says loudly you got a reason to hope because they're coming against you. Watch this, it also says affliction. When affliction comes, you got hope in the word. It gives you reason to hope. It lets you know that many of the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all. That's the constitution, that though affliction is here, I ain't gonna be here always. And then watch this, The word gives me reason to hope. So I gotta stay in this book because it is where my hope lies. So 3 very important things about Kingdom Constitution: it's alive, it cannot be amended, and it gives you hope. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for your word, and thank you for every person that heard this word today. I pray that it will land on the good ground of every heart, that your people may reap it in due season if they faint not. I thank you that the grass withers, the flower fades, but your word stands forever. It cannot be amended. Thank you, Lord, that your word never changes. You are the Lord God and you change not. For your word says, in the beginning was the Word, the Word was God, the Word was with God, the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Thank you for living among us, living with us. And so on this Thanksgiving Day, God, I thank you for this word-bearing people who will study your word to show themselves approved, that they can live a lifestyle that won't be ashamed of your word. My God, rightly dividing the word of truth with their life, God. And I give you praise for that. Thank you, God. We're thankful on this day for all that you've done, and we're thankful that what's to come it's better than what has been, and we praise you for it now in Jesus' name. Amen. My God, today, family, I love y'all so much, man. God is so good. God is so good. Listen, I'm gonna take a moment before we get out of here to encourage you to join us.

To get a $25 Thanksgiving seed, I believe that there's something God wants to do for you today. Get a seed in the ground. There's no pressure. If you can't do it, if you ain't gonna do it, that's up to you. But I will tell you, nothing leaves heaven until something leaves earth. And when I came in the studio this morning, the Lord said, at the end, challenge the people to sow a $25 seed. I know many of you say, I gotta shop for Black Friday tomorrow, but the reality is, what are you going to give to the Lord? Release that sacrifice today. Take what you have, turn it into what you need. $25, that's what God is saying. Get that. And I only do this when God tell money. So, and then y'all know most of the time when you hear me taking up offering, I just let you give because I trust your maturity. But listen, I want you to be obedient today and align yourself with this assignment. I'm believing God that as you do this, your seed will leave your hand but never your life. Father, bless every gift and every giver now. Return it back to them a thousand times more in the mighty name of Jesus. I'm gonna put the ways to give up as well so that you can see them even in a bigger capacity if you need to. Glory to the name of God.
