THE MYSTERY OF DOMINION, PART 15: "DOMINION & MULTIPLICATION" | APOSTLE MICHAEL WOODS SR | 12 MAR 26

Father, we thank you for the opportunity. To open your word tonight. God, do something man cannot do. Speak a word that man cannot speak, that carnal intelligence cannot utter. But may your wisdom superimpose itself upon us tonight. And I yield myself as a mere vessel of honor and not of shame. That you'll get the glory out of what we teach tonight. May your people be blessed by you and never impressed by me. Have your way in this place. May we see you more clearly, walk with you more nearly, love you more dearly. And Father, we give you praise and glory for what you're about to do in our lives, in our church, in our ministry. We thank you for it, Lord. In Jesus' name. Come on, clap your hands, everybody. Give God glory. He's a good God. Hallelujah. Glory to God. We give God praise. Amen. God is so good. He's a mighty God. Y'all good this Thursday night? Amen. Glory to God. Prayer was great, and we're gonna get this word. Amen. So this is part 15. God is trying to get us to be dominionaires. Amen. Say this with me. Say, I am a dominionaire. Say, I'm a person that rules in my sphere of influence. So I adopt the technology the science, the theology of dominion. And I rebuke and I renounce the technology and the theology of departure. Say, I will dominate every atmosphere and every space I am called to influence. In Jesus' name. Now if you believe that, I want you to give God a praise for dominion. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Now on Sunday we, we talked about dominion and increase. What a great message. And we're going to kind of tap into where do we go from that tonight, because we're going to talk about dominion and multiplication. But you really can't dive into this without understanding. First of all, I want to remind you that dominion is really achievable. Let me say that one more time for the people in the camera. Dominion is really achievable. All right, touch yourself. So I can do this because the devil will lead you to believe you can't. He'll make you feel like you can't dominate your sickness, you can't dominate your sin, you can't dominate your bad habits and behaviors. But I'm here to tell you, dominion is achievable. Watch this, because we learned that God is the source of dominion. When we taught that a few weeks ago, he is the source of dominion. So he's with you, he's on your side. And he wants you to dominate. Matter of fact, say that out loud. Say, God wants me to dominate. So as a result of that, you got to recognize that dominion is not Plan B, it's Plan A. See, the church has adopted this dominion idea as Plan B. Well, maybe we will, maybe we won't. Maybe we'll do that, or maybe it just wasn't for us, and maybe God just didn't have nothing else to do when he said have dominion. The reality is that's a lie that's been perpetrated and has created strong delusion. And what we don't realize is we're not just called to gather and have good church. We are on earth to take over. Because it has always been our planet. Okay, the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. And if he— if it's his and I'm his child, it belongs to me too. Okay, all right, so let's get into this tonight. First of all, we cannot discuss— matter of fact, let's go to Genesis 1. You can go to next slide, Kelly. Genesis 1:28, let's read this for context. And I'm gonna read in the NIV, uh, because it breaks this thing down already pretty much. It says, God blessed them. Touch yourself, say, I'm blessed. This wasn't just on Adam and Eve, this was mankind. Mankind's DNA has the blessing inside of it. Are y'all hearing this? Saint or sinner, in the DNA of man is the blessing of God. When you get saved, the blessing now is regenerated. Are y'all hearing this? In the middle of the word gene, regenerate is genes. Say genes. You have to get regenerated so the blessing can come alive, which means when you get saved, the blood penetrates the sin, Holy Spirit moves in, and your genes awaken to the blessing. The problem is most of the world and the church— uh-oh— have been wearing the wrong kind of jeans. Okay, and I ain't talking about J-E-A-N-S, I'm talking about G-E-N-E-S. We've been walking around operating with natural genes. But I want to propose a question right here in the top: what kind of genes are you wearing? You ought to be wearing the genes of blessing. The genes of dominion, the genes of authority and power. Not lack, not poverty, not sickness and disease. Are y'all here? Not mediocrity and settling for less. We got genes of blessings in us, and you just need to put them on. Just like whatever them you got on tonight, if you got on jeans, you put on Levi's, whatever it is. You, and if you, you probably got several different types of genes. Are y'all hearing this? The reality is you need to put on this gene of blessing and walk it out. Watch this, he says, this is the blessing right here: be fruitful and increase in number. That's multiply. Fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds in the sky and over every living creature that moves on the ground. So we got the blessing of fruitfulness in us, the blessing of multiplication in us. Watch this, genes are— that's DNA. So the DNA of dominion is fruitfulness Multiplication. Hear this: replenishing the earth, that's in you. Subduing the earth, it takes those three elements to actually dominate. That's the DNA. You're alive because you got DNA. Your personality is, is traced to DNA traits. You look like somebody in your family. Are y'all hearing this? Whether you want to admit it or not, you look like somebody. Somebody be always telling me, you look like your dad. I'll be like, no, I don't. Nothing. And my dad's a handsome man, but I don't think I look like him. I think I look more like my mama than I do my daddy. Are y'all hearing this? But either way, I got genes from both of them. I got DNA from both of them. There's certain— my, my mom tells me all the time, the older I get, the more I move and act like my daddy. Because— and that's not because I'm trying to do that, it's genes. Are y'all hearing this? Are y'all getting it? So the more you mature in God, we ought to see some adjustments in you being fruitful, multiply, replenishing, subduing Having dominion, not just bucking and shouting, speaking in tongues, spitting, blowing bubbles, prophesying and decreeing and declaring and never see results. Okay, packing out arenas and, and not really taking over the world. Yeah, okay, we, we, we've settled for impacting ourselves instead of impacting the world. Are y'all hearing this? Yes. But dominion is achievable. We can do this for real. We cannot look at multiplication tonight if we really don't look at fruitfulness first, because honestly, what are you multiplying or what are you increasing in number if you're not fruitful? So Sunday I told you about the farmer. Again, I dug into that thing, how the farmer goes into debt— are y'all hearing this— to buy seeds so he can be fruitful. And we learned that collectively farmers spend $562 billion on seed so they can be fruitful. They do that in faith. Watch this. Number one, they don't even clearly understand the process of seed, time, and harvest, because it's God that causes the seed to do what it does. It's God that has put the herb or the fruit in the seed. They can't see beyond the seed. They just know they've gotten results in that area before, so they repeat a pattern to create continuity. So that they can see fruitfulness. But they don't know what the weather's gonna do, right? They don't know if the season's gonna do like it's supposed to do. And many a times they have been disappointed. Are y'all hearing this? But yet still, they still go through the process of buying seed, planting it so they can produce fruit. So let's just make a quick case for fruitfulness. So we said he— the first thing he told him was be fruitful, right? So this word fruitful is pabah, p-a-b-a-h, in Hebrew. This word means to bring into manifest— oh my God— manifestation that which was planted. Okay, so if you don't plant, you can't manifest what wasn't planted. I talked about Sunday about you being the seed. How can your dominion purpose be manifested in the world if you don't sow yourself back into the world? Y'all hear me? If you do not plant yourself, you cannot be fruitful. You are— you got a seedbed in you of gifts, talents, anointings that you got to plant. Are y'all with me? So say, pabaw means to bring forth what was planted. Now watch this. If I want to see what was planted, the first thing is I got to have vision. Say that with me. Say, fruitfulness requires vision. I told y'all this last week. I'm just kind of going back. Because I want to make sure we cover this. On the pack of that seed is a picture. I mean, you get a whole harvest of apples out of a little pack of seeds. And on the front of it, they got this big— I wish I put a picture in the slides tonight. They got a big harvest of apples on this tree, beautiful red apples, out of these little ugly black seeds. Are y'all hearing this? You have to see yourself as more than meets the eye. You got to see what God has called you to do and be as possible. Again, this thing is achievable, but you're going to have to deal with the vision phase before you see the manifestation of it, because you got to plant the seeds for vision to come to pass. So it requires vision. Yeah, again, I, I'll go back to what God has spoken to us about, this Rada City project. That is something that I never thought would resurface in my life, dreaming like that at my age, to be totally honest with you. But God says, I'm going to show you that all the seeds you planted over time that what you thought was the harvest in your life— are y'all hearing this? That wasn't really the harvest. But I'm gonna cause you to bring forth fruit in this season that will— oh my God— outdo anything you've ever harvested before. But I have to believe that. I have to trust that that vision came from God. I'm telling you, every one of us has something in us we got to sow into the world, and it's going to require faith, it's going to require a dream, it's going to require vision. Secondly, to be fruitful, it also requires a decision. Say a decision. I've already taught this. I'm kind of just really reviewing this, but it's got to make sense with multiplication tonight. So you got to make a decision with incision. That has precision. It's got to be a precise, accurate— precise, accurate, precision-spoken decision that makes incision, that cuts away stuff that cannot manifest or will hinder the coming forth of your dream. So that means you got to make some decisions about people. Okay, about places. Are y'all here? You got to make some decisions about stuff you think you're supposed to be doing and it really ain't a part of what God wants. I know sometimes that's hard because we get comfortable in familiarity. I call that the sin of familiarity, but because you're missing the mark because you got comfortable infamiliarity. And so you never do what God ordained. Touch your belly and say, God ordained me for more. Say, I'm clear that in order for the vision, the dream, the fruit to manifest in my life, I must make good decisions that create a destiny that cannot be denied. See that? See, some destinies we create, God will reject because it wasn't him. He's like, okay, that wasn't me, so I'm not going to really get with you on that. You can do it. That's called permissive will. I ain't gonna send you to hell for doing it, but I'm not gonna really be directly involved. That's what God is saying. What you doing it Because it wasn't my original plan. So I just would rather be where he is. I don't want to be where God was. I want to be where God is. Are y'all hearing this? Some people are chasing old revivals and chasing old paradigms and chasing old wineskins. But that, that era is gone. God is progressive. And what if— and it's— and again, it has nothing to do with how we worship, because that ain't, that ain't nothing to do really with taking over and being fruitful. Worship comes from your heart. Are y'all hearing this? And you worship God based on your relationship with him. So, you know, just because I sing a song that Integrity or Hosanna wrote— are y'all hearing this? Doesn't mean I'm in a new move. Just because I sing a song that Church of God in Christ sung doesn't mean I'm in an old move. Ah, see, because worship is not the song, it's what's in my heart. Well, I'm gonna take you further. Just, just because I raise a hymn, if I sing a hymn unto God and it's sincere— are y'all hearing this? It will move heaven versus me going over a model of something that is ineffective. Are y'all hearing this? Oh boy, okay, okay. So you got to make a decision to go with God. That's the key. Thirdly, if you're going to be fruitful, it requires death. Wait a minute, Jesus, I gotta die? Pretty much. Paul said mortify the members of your flesh. So every day you gotta put this flesh to death. And say, okay, man, because guess what? It's screaming. Yo, can I tell y'all something for real? Your body is not saved. Okay, I'm gonna say it one more time. Your body ain't saved. When you got saved, your spirit got saved. Are y'all hearing this? He, he saved your soul and spirit. Watch this. He came in and the blood was applied to your spirit and regenerated your spirit to influence your soul to follow his ways. Your body is used to the soul telling it to do what it like. When you gotta say your body likes sex. Y'all ain't got to talk. Okay, your body like cussing, your body like sinning. Okay, let me talk about me. When I got saved, I said some stuff I loved. Y'all hearing this? And my body wasn't saved. I was saved, filled with the Holy Ghost, speaking in tongues. My body still want to have sex. Y'all ain't got to talk. Okay, look how y'all looking at me. Oh yeah, okay. I'm just saying, you know, I'm just trying to be where you are. Your body want what it want, and guess what? It never goes away. And I'll be like, God, to make this easy, why don't you take that too? And God said, nah, I ain't taking that. Anything that doesn't go away, you have to bring under control. So you have Holy Ghost in you to control your desires, to control what manifests in your body, because temptation is not going away. The Bible said Jesus was tempted and tried on all points, yet without sin. To show us you can be without sin, you can overcome temptation. Word even said, yield not to temptation, for yielding is sin. I'm hearing this. So the only way I overcome the sin, I got to bring that thing that tempts me under control. Oh, y'all, okay, I'm in the wrong place, I think, tonight. Listen, because it comes. You still human, and you gotta know you're walking with God, because the enemy will put it right in your eyes. Are y'all hearing this? And you got to be strong enough to bring it under control. And if you ain't careful, you'll go to sleep and dream something. All right, okay, y'all ain't got to say nothing. That, that your mind wasn't even on, and he'll— you could be watching the wrong thing or just be opened up with the wrong thing when you go to sleep, or just go to sleep and forgot to pray before you lay down, and he'll slip into your idle sleep and show you something. Okay, okay, I'm in the wrong church. Okay, but you gotta kill that stuff. That's why every day you got to mortify the members of your flesh. Are we here? All right, I ain't gonna dwell on that because I'm just saying you can't have fruitfulness until the stuff dies that needs to die. Except a seed fall to the ground and die, it will not bear fruit. That's, that's the Bible, right? Okay, all right, so let's get into this. So multiply— he says be fruitful and multiply. What we want to make sure we're doing is multiplying— watch this— fruit. Many people are trying to multiply unfruitfulness. So let's look at what multiply is, and then let's kind of Trace if we doing that. So fruitfulness is papa, multiply is para, P-A-R-A-H. So it means to increase in number. Somebody say increase in number. It means to bring in harvest. Say to bring in harvest. It means to enlarge. It means to become great. It also means to do much. So watch this. This says clearly that God wants us to expand, grow, become great, and be effective in what we are called to do. I was preaching, I think, 2 weeks ago, and I made the statement, size matters. And I don't know what some folk mind with, but that wasn't what I was talking about. I was talking about the church needs to be— the kingdom needs to expand. Are y'all hearing this? We need to be effective, and we cannot do it if we don't increase in numbers. We cannot do it if we're not showing up in the kingdoms of the world. Is when something is happening in media, if there's not someone there in the kingdom that's dominating in that realm. That's what I'm talking about here. In education, we need to show up as dominators. In politics, we need to show up. Somebody's in is saved right now with the anointing to be a president but won't sign up to run. Are y'all hearing this? Because they don't believe they can actually dominate in that space. Are y'all hearing this? There's someone anointed, glory to the name of God, to run a Fortune 100 company in the church, multiple companies, but afraid to start the business. 'Cause they're fearful. Are y'all hearing this? That they can actually dominate in this space. But we gotta increase the number. We gotta show up everywhere. There are not be a pin that drops in the world and someone in the kingdom is not there to pick it up or be involved with the process. Are y'all hearing me? So multiplication then is a blessing from God. We see it right there, right? God blessed them. It's a blessing from him, and it's at the core of his heart for us. Say that. Say, God wants me to multiply. So go to Psalm 133. Let's, let's go. We're going to get into this tonight. Psalm 133, verses 1, 2, and 3. The Bible says, behold, how good and pleasant is it for brethren to dwell together in unity. So first of all, let me say this: multiplication is God's idea, not man's. And in order to carry it out— y'all hearing me? We have to return, and we're going to see this in the text, to Mount Zion. Say we got to return to Mount Zion. Say we got to return to Mount Zion together. This is important. He says, behold, how good and pleasant is it for brethren— that's those of us that's in the faith, this ain't sinners, that's those of us that love Jesus. That's in the kingdom of God, in the family of God. He says good. Let's, let's deal with that. First of all, good is bana in Hebrew, which means it's profitable. Not prophetic, profitable. Y'all hearing this? That's not what this says. This ain't talking about the prophetic. He says good is profitable. Again, ask a businessman to define profit. He's going to tell you what's left over after the expenses of the business have been paid and covered. That's profit. That's what you can spend after you've taken care of the expenses of your business. Y'all here? So then, here we go. He says it's profitable and it's pleasant. Say it's pleasant. What's this? I got it. I can't get in this because it'll take me too long, but the pleasantry here is, is that it is peaceful and inviting. So when we dwell together in unity, we can operate in a profit margin, and we can also create an atmosphere that is peaceful and inviting. Are y'all with me? We need atmospheres, not just in the church. Of course needs to be a place that's peaceful and inviting. It shouldn't be stress, it shouldn't be tension, it shouldn't be division. Are y'all hearing this? It shouldn't be fighting. Okay, I done been to church and saw them fighting. I don't saw wigs getting snatched off at the church. Are y'all hearing this? This is not the place for that. But even moreover, we should show up in the world on the same page, okay, because it creates profit. So that means I ought to look out So, okay, let me just use— let me use Vicki as a cosmetologist. So if I'm dwelling together in unity and I had hair that needed to get done— I ain't got nothing that need to get done. Are y'all hearing this? I would patronize her business, right? Are y'all hearing this? Because we dwell together in unity. And we could— when we do that, we could profit when we support each other in the community. Oh God, if Pastor Jeffrey makes an album, we need to download it. Are y'all hearing this? If— glory to God— if Lady Felicia bakes a cake, if you need a cake, you need to go through her. Are y'all listening? Because we dwell together in unity. You want to produce a documentary or a film, you need to come to me. Why would you— why would you go to Tyler Perry and I can do the same thing? Y'all ain't got to talk. Why would you go to Spielberg? And Spielberg is an atheist. Are y'all hearing this? We have to support each other. Because it makes no sense that if we got family in business and then we still going to the world to get our needs met. That's why a company like Walmart is hard to beat because First of all, it's a family-owned business, and from Sam Walton's inception, he created a concept of unity in the family. And what he's done with every Walmart you see is exactly the same. It may be a little different, but everything is in unison. And that's why you can go in Walmart now, your favorite Walmart, you, you ain't got to ask where certain stuff at. You just walking and you walk right to the aisle. You ain't got to read really because you know where it's at. Because after you've done it repetitively, you get wired to find what you're looking for. You know exactly where the milk is, you know where the cereal are, you know where the bread is, you know where the produce is, you know where the pharmacy is if you need to get something for your cough. Are y'all hearing this? Because it's been wired in you through unity and unison to show up and find what you need and make an exchange. In the church, we got to get on the same page. I ain't saying all our churches need to look alike. What I am saying, when we go in business, we got to support each other. We got to undergird each other. There's no way that if we're in business, we should let another person in business suffer. Because if we know they're in business, they— and they got the product, and you still go to Amazon. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, all right, I'm gonna leave that alone. But he said it's good. It's pleasant that— and when people see that kind of community, they'll want to be a part of it. It's pleasant and inviting. Let me just go a little further. Let me— I can just use Black folk, man. We don't support Black-owned businesses. Are y'all hearing this? We, we, we'll, we'll see the Black grocery store. And he have to keep his prices high because everybody still go to Walmart. Well, are y'all hearing this? Okay, he got the same bread, same milk, but we won't help him expand. But the— again, the second side of that too is that business. When we go in business You have to make your business peaceful and inviting. Are y'all hearing this? You got to make people want to come to your business. You can't just throw up a business. Even though we got a little small building here, we did everything we could to make sure this building was in excellence. Painted the walls when we got in here, put chairs in, put carpet down. We did whatever we could to try to enhance this little space. So when people come in it, it will be welcoming and inviting. I could have easily got a piece of cardboard, taped it on the door, wrote Rother Church, got a piece of wood and wrote Rother Church on it in paint and nailed it on this outside of the building. Are y'all hearing this? But you don't see them churches like that now. Don't act like y'all ain't drove by them churches. Well, they just write on the side. I mean, then the paint be running and they ain't even got— they won't even clean it up, won't even use a stencil. Are y'all hearing this? Y'all get what I'm saying? You got to make what you're doing welcoming. And, and watch this, I done been into some of them places where God was there. Y'all hearing it? Power move. But I wasn't going back because I'm like, y'all need to clean up this bathroom, y'all need to sweep this floor. Are y'all hearing this? It's stuff everywhere. I went to one church, they got so much stuff in the pulpit you can't even hardly walk around up there. It's just stuff. They done put stuff in corners and stacked it up. It's just junk everywhere. You got to make it pleasant and invite. You got to do things in the spirit of excellence. So it says we are dwell together in unity. Sometimes this is tough, but if you're gonna have dominion, you ain't— you can't do it by yourself. You need a team. You need people. I talked about this Monday night. You need a collaboration of people who can do what you cannot do. So when we work in unity, them that are strong bear the infirmities of the weak. What does that mean? That means all of us, from me on down, We enter into a purpose or assignment with an element of weakness in our life. Okay, see, you— if you think you got it all together, you won't allow opportunity to be helped in your area of weakness. Okay, I know I can't do everything. Are y'all with me? So this is how we dwell together in unity. We have a dynamic that says what you can't do, I can. And that's why God brings us together, not to exalt one person or the other and say, oh, they do it better than them. No, we do this together. Verse 2, let's read. He said, it is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down from the beard even Aaron's beard that went down to the skirt of his garment. Say something, say this with me. Say, the anointing flows from the head down. So if God anoints me to have vision for dominion, I expect nothing less of you. If God wants me to never be broke another day in my life, he expects you to never be broke another day in your life. If he wants me to move in power, authority, anointing, take dominion and not departure, guess what? He wants that for you because it flows from the head down. Guess what? That's why you shouldn't sit under nobody that don't want nothing, that's living a raggedy life. Are y'all hearing this? Because that thing is going to flow down to you. Okay, I ain't got— so notice something: the kingdom is always congruent to the actions of the king. So if you got a king ahead that's a hoe, a homosexual, a lesbian— y'all ain't got to talk to me here— I'm a liar, a fornicator, ain't got no vision, no purpose, no dream— are y'all hearing this? Guess what? That thing's gonna flow down to you. Oh God. So you, again, you got to be in the right place, connected to the right person. Are y'all hearing this? I hope y'all, I hope y'all, because I really can't do it here. I got to go. But that's why you got to stay connected. That's why you got to buy in. Because you want to be able to see the anointing flow from the head into your life. Watch this. When they start saying they want to do intercessory prayer at 6 o'clock, I wasn't— I pray all the time, but I wasn't excusing myself to be an example to what needs to happen. Guess where I was at at 6 o'clock? Right there on my face. Because at the end of the day, the anointing flow from the head down. Why would I ask you to do something I ain't gonna do? Are y'all hearing this? That's what you got to be careful of— leaders and people who try to ask you to make sacrifices and die in places they are unwilling to die, right? Oh God, I don't need me trying to send you to the front line and I ain't going with you. If you're in battle, the, the infantry general is in the field. He ain't somewhere behind a desk. He in the field with his troops. Are y'all hearing this? Okay, all right. So the anointing comes from the head down. He said, as the dew of Hermon Oh, I ain't got time, but let me just hit it right here. The dew— so dew is water or moisture that it doesn't come out of the sky. It is condensation that comes from the ground and it rises and it covers whatever is in its space at the time it's rising. What's this? The dew of Hermon. Hermon in Hebrew, watch what this word means. Hermon means strength and authority. So God says, I want you to stand in a place where you don't do nothing to do. You ain't got to— ain't no clouds that's forming. Dew just happens in the changing of night and day. Every season— watch this— there is dew. Because sometimes y'all sleep and don't see it, but if you get up early enough, spring, summer, winter, fall, you're gonna see dew on the ground. God is trying to irrigate you with his Spirit so you'll be strengthened to take dominion. Because remember, you can't do this in your own strength. He said, and the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion. So this is where we got to go back to Mount Zion. Mount Zion is the place where God dwells, and the Bible says this is where God commanded the blessing, even eternal life. So we really want to see the blessing manifest in our life. We got to go to Mount Zion. We got to go to where God dwells. We learned at the beginning of the verse, he dwells in unity. We want to see God's blessing on a project, on a business, on a church, on a ministry, on a family. Let that family come together in unity. He didn't say, I'm gonna bless all the black people that got rhythm, or all the white people that went to Bible school. He didn't say, I'm gonna command the blessing on the people that got a your degrees and got a doctorate. He said, no, I'm gonna command the blessing on those that dwell together around my purpose. God have mercy. See, because we think we got to meet certain qualifications to get the blessing. This ain't the world, this is the kingdom. And God says, all I need you to do is be obedient, come together around my plan, my desire for your life, and I'm gonna command the blessing on you and eternal life. Y'all getting this? Oh God. Okay, all right, so here's a point. Uh, God, I ain't got time, man. We cannot transcend time and get into eternity if we do not recognize— and we got to recognize this— this, that all things are now and everything is now. What do you mean? So in order to go back to Mount Zion, we transcend time because that's eternity, life evermore. Eternity should be dwelling through us on Earth right now. We got to transcend the system of chronos. Tap into Kairos, which is God's time, God's eternal time. When we do that, we understand then that we don't have to wait on time because everything is now. See, when you're in the spirit, you ain't got to wait for things to come. It's already here. All right, the reason we have these lagging blessings is because we're battling between Kairos and Chronos. Chronos is chronology, the clock, your watch, the calendar. Kairos is eternity, is living in eternal time. Your healing is now in Kairos. Your wealth is now in Kairos. Say that. We say everything is now. Everything is now. Oh, I'm just waiting on the Lord. Yeah, stop saying that. When you in him, it's now. Oh God, have mercy. Okay, now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. So if I'm in faith in eternity, I'm in it now. Oh God, have mercy. Oh, I'm just waiting for God to come through. I— yeah, I'll be all right when Jesus show up. I done prayed for my healing and you know it gonna come after a while. It's now. Say it's now. Say I receive it now. You just got to get out of town. Okay, some of y'all sing out. Let me give you, let me give you an example what this looks like. The three Hebrew men, because they were not boys, they were grown men. The old preacher would say the three Hebrew boys in the fiery furnace. He'd do his thing and have it all messed up. They weren't boys. And a bad nigga. I mean, a negro. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but, but I mean, they gonna mess it up. They were messing it up. His name's Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Are y'all hearing this? That's the names. And they were grown men because they were older than 13, and in Jewish custom, if you were 13, you were considered a man. Are y'all hearing this? So the Bible says this, that Nebuchadnezzar threw them in the fire. Y'all know the story, right? Now, the fire was so hot that the ones that threw them in burned up. Yep, I mean, the one that threw them in, as soon as they threw them in and they get in and did not burn up. The reason why they didn't burn up, because they were operating on a different system. See, when it comes to fire, it takes time for something to burn up. Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me. We could set a chair on fire right now, it's going to take time for it to burn this whole building down. But because we When Nebuchadnezzar looked in the fire, he said, I see a fourth man in the fire who is likened to the Son of Man. The moment the Son of Man stepped in the fire, he suspended the rules of time. Oh my God! And eternity took over, and the fire could not consume them. Come on, Apostle! Okay, okay, maybe that one. And, uh, Moses, when he was on the backside of the wilderness, the Bible said the Lord spoke to him out of a burning bush. And you got to understand, in, in Israel, there were bushes consumed all the time because it was dry heat, and a bush would catch on fire and they would burn up. But quite interesting, this bush did not burn up. The Bible even says clearly, the bush was not consumed. Why? Because eternity got in that bush. See, when you walk in eternity, life evermore, verse 3, you're in Mount Zion. You suspend the rules of time and you're always operating in the now. Somebody say now. See, here's the issue. We get so busy, for real, trying to get God to do what we want him to do, or what we think he should be doing, that we miss what he's really thinking right now. Because you think that you just got to go through these religious motions to move God. God always— are y'all hearing this— is thinking about us. He's always 100% engaged in wanting to bless us. He's just looking for faith. You gotta trust him. You trying to move God with emotions and works? God's looking for faith. He'll let you cry and say, I see you, you're sowing tears, you're reaping joy eventually. But that's not moving me. What moves me is your belief in me. Are y'all hearing this? Go to 2nd— I'm almost done— go to 2 Corinthians 10, verse 12. Glory to God. So, so say this with me, because we're talking about multiplication. Multiplication is God's idea, not man's. Say, in order to experience it and carry it out, I must return to Mount Zion. That means you cannot live in the flesh. You gotta walk in the Spirit. Here's the second point. Well, I'm moving. We cannot multiply when we measure ourselves by ourselves. Oh boy, I've really got to get through. 2 Corinthians 10, verse 12, it says, we do not have the audacity to put ourselves in the same class or compare ourselves with some who supply testimonies to commend themselves. This is the apostles talking to the Corinthians. Look, we don't put ourselves in the class of those who compare themselves by themselves. In other words, they got somebody else to tell them how wonderful they are. Are y'all hearing this? See, it's easy to get— you know, I think some people got a professional Butt kissing club. Are y'all hearing this? Are y'all listening? And they got people who just gonna tell them they so wonderful and they the best thing since sliced bread, that they're the cats meow and the dogs bow wow. Are y'all hearing me? They gonna do that because you got something they want. Or they think they can ride your coattail, but you need people who can really measure you. And sometimes measuring doesn't come with what you want to hear. Are y'all listening? The Bible says when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, watch what the Bible says, they lack wisdom and behave like fools. So you need somebody in your life that's going to properly measure you and tell you, hey, you really ain't where you think you are. Because some people think they got it, but you need somebody to put you in check. Are y'all hearing this? A metron— that's what a measure is— to measure you in the spirit. Glory to God, and let you know you really need some more growing to do. There's some more developing you got to do. Are y'all hearing this? See, come— see, these are comfortable comparisons where you're comfortable. Yeah, don't, don't let people tell you they can't hear, make you, make, make, you know, listen, make you miss this word, because they ought to be in here. One type of comment, tell me they can't hear. Come on, just come to church. Jesus, really, when I stop doing the live, you're gonna really be mad. Glory to God, because you, you need this word. You don't know what could happen. That's technology. So ain't no need getting upset by it. Glory to God. It just, just can't hear. Glory to the name of God. But we can hear, right? Because we here, we're in the right place. Are y'all listening? Amen. Glory to the name of God. The reality is you will submit your energy to people who are not fruitful. Listen to this, who ain't never did nothing, never did nothing but talk about what they gonna do. You can't sit and listen to that foolishness, that ignorance. You need a voice in your life that's not afraid to tell you, you need to grow up, you need to pray more, you need to study more, you are not where you need to be. Are y'all hearing this? Lord help us. Okay, so how do we multiply in this regard then? The apostles were telling them, listen, we can't multiply without apostolic influence. And I'm gonna close with this, right? Go to 2 Corinthians 10. Okay, my screen in the back gone. I wonder why. The Bible said, but we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. Paul says, listen, we are not going to do anything more than what we are capable of doing. Are y'all hearing this? Say this with me. I gotta always be who I am. Watch this. And where I am, you always be who you are. Don't shift, try to be something else to impress people. There's a measure in your life, and you'll never get to that next measure until you're honest about the rule that God has distributed to you. You got to be honest about that. Okay, verse 14, let's go. He said, for we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reach not unto you, for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ. So he said, I'm here to tell you the word and teach you what to do, but I'm not gonna stretch myself beyond that. God never called you to multiply yourself and try to be everything to everybody. You can only be what you were created to be. That'll wear you out, man. I know some pastors younger than me look older than me because the church don't wall them out. I just refuse to let folk kill me. The reality, you can't do it because they're turning flips trying to impress a board, impress people, applying for their job every Sunday. Some— that's crazy. You got to be where you are. Stop stretching yourself thin. Do what you were assigned to do. Verse 15, let's go. Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labors. In other words, if somebody else is doing it and you can't, thank God for what they're doing. Celebrate that, and, and don't boast about what you could do in comparison. Ah, okay. He said, but, but having hope when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly. Now notice what the apostle said. He's talking to them. He said, listen, your faith has to be increased because we cannot even teach you any more than what we're giving you. Ah, because your faith is still small. It's just like giving a baby a T-bone steak. He cannot handle it. So you have to grow to the need And this is what's dangerous about social media. You got people who are babies, who are on Similac and milk, wet behind the ears, faith still small, listening to people and messages that they ain't ready for. Are y'all hearing this? And it's choking them because they cannot enlarge. Because their external reach— remember, this is greater than their internal capacity. Your faith has to increase. Are y'all hearing me? And then, then the apostle said, we'll enlarge and give you more. Our rule will expand because you need more. I want y'all to always grow and pull on me. Are y'all hearing this? I want you to always grow and in hunger so that you're always hungry for the deep things of God. 16, to preach, uh, the gospel in regions beyond you. Glory to God. And not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand. In other words, celebrating again the people who God will partner us with to do what we're called to do. But you need apostolic measurement that's constantly growing you up. And you ought to really celebrate that and look at your life, I mean, and see how through being connected to apostolic things you have begun to expand. Are y'all hearing this? Because apostles carry protons and metrons inside of them that influence multiplication. A proton is the revelatory ability to expand you. So apostles carry words in them to shift your DNA, to cause you to think in a different dimension. So that's why I'm teaching like this on dominion. I'm trying to get you to think it and do it. Are y'all hearing this? This is why God has given it to me, because he knows it's in you to do. Are y'all hearing this? If y'all couldn't do it, he wouldn't let me preach it to y'all. Watch this, some of y'all might not like this, but sometimes I understand that this church grows in different ways and stages because of the season we're in. Certain people could not handle what we're teaching. Are y'all hearing this? He gave some apostles. That means— that doesn't mean just that everybody's not called to be an apostle. It means that some people ain't even called to be led as by an apostle as pastor. Some people just need a regular pastor. Are y'all hearing this? Who is a shepherd whose sheep herds them. But when you got something special in you, God, uh, he connects you to apostolic ministry so he— that apostle can stretch you and pull that out of you. Are y'all here? Thank you, Jesus. I'm done. I got some more. I'm gonna just quit because we'll be here all night. Y'all stand up. I'm done. Y'all get anything out of this tonight? Glory to God. We love you, Jesus. You're called to multiply. Size does matter. Yes, Lord. Close your eyes for a moment, and I just want to speak over you the spirit of multiplication. May it be with you always. May you manifest fruit that will remain in your life. May you never depart from a thing that you're challenged with. May no obstacle stand in your way. I announce over you tonight in the name of Jesus— glory to God— that every way will be made for you, and you will be fruitful and you'll multiply in the works of your hands. I decree and declare that everything you touch will prosper, everything you touch will be blessed. I decree and declare that you will be a person, no matter what stage you are in life, that you will begin to multiply. I thank you, God, that the fruit in their lives, in my life, we call it forth, God. That which we are sowing, that which we have planted physically, spiritually, financially, we call every seed forth and we thank you for harvest that cannot be denied. And we give you praise for it now, Lord. I announce and decree and declare over this people that they will have dominion, that they will move into Mount Zion. They will not be constrained by the restrictions and the legalism of time, but God, in Jesus' name, I decree and declare, shalébésoto rabbaiah. That they will step into kairos. And God, like you did for the Hebrew men, like you did with Moses on the backside of the wilderness, that they will not be consumed by the systems of this world, by the fiery darts of the enemy that are thrown at them. But God, because we walk with you, we will move in the now. I declare a transition out of time into eternity, not through physical death, but we will walk in the Spirit that we will not fulfill the lust of the flesh. And we declare it now in Jesus' name. Come on, clap your hands and give God praise if you will. Come on, I need y'all to do better than that. Come on, if you're dedicated to multiplying, come on, open your mouth and give him praise for the spirit of multiplication. I, I didn't say addition, multiplication, where your life is about to have exponential growth, exponential increase. I didn't say division. Or subtraction. Multiplication is about to happen. And I heard the Lord say, if you will walk with him in obedience and get out of time, he will bless you a thousand times more than you are right now. I need somebody to praise him. He said, I'm going to start right there. He said, I'll give you a thousand times more than you have right now. That mean if you live in 1,000 square feet, God says, I'm going to give you 1,000 times more. If you got 1 acre, I'm going to give you 1,000 times more. If you got $200 in the bank, I'm going to give you 1,000 times more. In this season, I release multiplication on your life. On your business, on your dream. Step out of time into eternity, but everything is now. Oh, glory to God! Everything is now. We receive it, Lord. In Jesus' name.
