The Mystery of Freedom, Part 5: "Power & Freedom, B" | Dr. Mike Woods | Radah Church | 11 JAN 2025

We love you, God. This is our declaration today and every day.

As long as we're in you, we shall never be defeated.

Yeah, as long as we're in you, we shall I will never be defeated!

I'll— Never, ever? No... Shh!

Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare that I have victory in every area. Say, I have victory in my finances. Say, I have victory in my family. Say, I have victory in my faith. Say, in the name of Jesus, I will never be defeated. Say, no weapon formed against me can prosper.

Say, I have the victory in all areas of my life. Say, I operate in freedom. Say, this year I shall live in new dimensions of glory. Of power, of anointing, of resources, of wealth, because in you I shall never be defeated. In Jesus' name. If you believe what you just said, clap your hands once again and shout about it in this place. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, I just need you to open your mouth. Take the music down, Mario. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, fill this room with your voice. Fill this room with your voice. Fill this room with your voice. Come on, you're not doing it. Fill this room with your voice. Come on, this is your time to walk in total victory for the rest of your life. Yeah! Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God, we bless you! Stop it on the computer!

We give you the glory, we give you the honor. He's such a good God.

Clap your hands and shout in this place once again. Come on, I can't hear you! Shout in this place once again. Come on, open your mouth, shout like you know Come on, shout like you know him! Shout like you got victory for the rest of your life! Open your mouth!

Yeah, glory to God! Yes, you can be seated. Praise Jesus! You can slide number 7 down for me, San Mario, if you don't mind. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God is so good. He's a great God. Amen. And beside him there is no other. Praise God. I'm about to preach, so you can go to the first side. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. When God makes a change, we got to let him change, right? If you're mad about not doing praise and worship today and we not having singers up here, I'm sorry. Glory to God. We got to go with God. Amen. Praise God. I'm going to continue this morning, uh, in the teaching. You can take me down some more, Mario. Um, I think it's more in these monitors. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Can y'all hear me fine? All right, good. All right, we're going to continue our series on the mystery of freedom. Say the mystery of freedom. And we've been talking about understanding the mystery of freedom and power. Say the word, say freedom and power. And we left off on Thursday night, we talked about understanding the power of a place. Say that with me. Say, there's power in place. Where you are is just as important as who you are. You gotta make sure you're in the right place. And again, we covered this on Thursday night in detail, so you could please go back and watch that, because you really cannot experience and unravel the mystery of power and freedom and how they work together until you find yourself in the right place. Somebody say place. So we want to make sure that we understand this clearly. So I want to just read, uh, Deuteronomy 12 and verse 5 real quick. The Bible— because this is just reviewing, then we're gonna get into today. But unto the place— somebody say place. Which the Lord your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall you seek, and thither shall you come. Say, there's power in place.

So when God puts his name on a place—

are y'all hearing this?

He says When I put my identity on a place and I choose this place— watch this— for you, see, watch.

I want y'all to understand something. God strips the power of choice right here because he understands your destiny and your soul is at stake.

So when you— because you might choose the wrong place.

Are y'all hearing this?

So God says, I need you in the places I have ordained, and I need you in the places where my name is. And don't get me wrong, God is everywhere, and we'll talk about that in a moment, but the reality is he connects with you in Pacific locations. Because all assignment has geography. Oh boy, you can be in the wrong place and miss God because you're not getting the nourishment, you're not getting what you need. Watch this, you can be in the wrong place, hallelujah, and it changed the whole trajectory of your life. Some people have died because they was in the wrong place. Wrong place, wrong time.

They weren't shooting, they were just walking down the street but was in the wrong place and the bullet hit them. Are y'all hearing this?

The reality is you better be clear in this season that you're moving in the spaces and the places that God has ordained, not what's comfortable for you. Watch this. Here's what I found out in being saved 42 years. Most of the places God has sent me have been very uncomfortable for me.

Y'all ain't got to say nothing to me.

God sent me to Mississippi. Mississippi got to be the worst place on Earth to me.

Y'all ain't got to talk to me here.

I'm a city boy from the inner city in Atlanta. The worst place you could have sent me was Mississippi. But guess what I did? I went to Mississippi.

But if I wouldn't have went to Mississippi Y'all ain't got to talk to me here.

It would have altered a lot of destinies.

Yes, sir.

I just thought it would have altered her destiny. She is the woman of God, the powerful lady of God she is today because I was in place.

Are y'all hearing this?

Place is important. Now, on the flip side, she had to understand she had to be in the place.

Oh boy, I'm just reviewing. I'm not going to teach that again.

Let's read Psalm 84:1.

I read this Thursday night, but I want to read it again in your hearing.

It says, how amiable are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts. The word amiable means how worthy of love. Say this with me, say the tabernacle of God.

The house of God, the place where God abides, is worthy of love.

So the house of God is worthy to receive love from you. So you should put value on the house and not look for every opportunity to make an excuse not to be in place.

Are y'all here? Okay. And watch this, people don't want to be accountable so they don't commit to a place. Oh boy, go to Psalm 133:3.

Watch this. As the dew of Hermon and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion. For there in the place, the Lord commanded the blessing, even life forevermore. So wait a minute, also the blessing of God is commanded and released in the right place. So watch this, if you, you can be in the wrong place and be powerless or be in the right place and receive power.

Okay, let me take it.

Let me take you there.

The Bible spoke to all those that were following Jesus.

Matter of fact, it was about 600 folk following him, and Jesus said, all right, y'all got this, I'm about to go, but go to Jerusalem, go to a place and tarry there Till you be endued with power from on high. Now, first of all, 600-plus folk. I go to read, when the people get to the place, there are only 120 that went. So there are 480 people who don't care about place.

Oh boy. And guess what? They missed one of the greatest events in the history of the church. They could have firsthand experienced the day of Pentecost, but they didn't because they were out of—

so this year we got to make sure we're in place.

Okay, all right, Mario, move to my next slide, son. I'm done with review. I'm gonna read this— these scriptures in the beginning, and we're gonna run. John 8:36: Therefore, if the Son makes you free, you shall be free in what?

So that means you're—

when God comes into your life and brings freedom, you're free in all aspects. Are y'all hearing this?

This is why I can confidently say that a lot of the church— and I said this before—

is not free, they're just delivered. Are y'all hearing this?

He told Moses, go down to Egypt and deliver my people and lead them into the promised land.

So we'll go back through it.

Egypt was bondage.

When you was in sin, you were in Egypt.

A deliverer showed up named Jesus. He delivers you out of bondage into wilderness. The wilderness is designed to mature you. To grow you up. If you stay a child, you'll stay in wilderness. Here's the reality: not any of us is exempt from wilderness.

Amen. But you must come to a point where you come out of wilderness into true freedom. In wilderness, your clothes grow with you. I'm just reviewing, right?

In wilderness, manna falls out of heaven.

Are y'all hearing this? Manna means— what is it?

They were getting stuff they couldn't even identify.

They didn't know what it was. They were eating it anyway because they were hungry.

Y'all know how you—

we are. If something come on our plate we can't really identify, we're gonna be too quick to eat it. But man, what is it? We hungry, we're gonna eat it, we don't care. That's how you act in deliverance. You take whatever. Are y'all hearing this? Clothes grow with you. Quail coming out of the sky. All that chicken.

But at some point, we got to come out of wilderness and go to freedom.

Somebody said, no, I'm free. No, even Jesus had to go through wilderness. Uh, okay, let me just read for you Matthew chapter 4. Let me read it. I ain't got that in my notes, but let me just read it. Matthew chapter 4, watch this, verse 1.

Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit. Who led him? The Spirit led him— wait a minute— up. So wilderness is an upward move. Hallelujah. He led him up into the wilderness. Wait a minute. To be tested of the devil.

So God takes you through wilderness to test you, just like Jesus.

And you keep flunking the test, you're gonna stay in wilderness. Jesus gives an example on how to pass these tests. I don't have time to read all of it, but I'm gonna tell you 3 tests. First test was appetite. He said, look, okay, I'm gonna give you all of this. Jesus had been fasting 40 days. He tested his appetite, not just for food, but for things that pleased his flesh.

Are y'all hearing this?

If you don't pass the appetite test You stay in wilderness. You gotta answer like Jesus when you're tested. Man shall not live by bread only, by what appeases my flesh alone, but we live by every word that comes out of the mouth of God. Whoo!

Every word, not the word we want to hear. Are y'all hearing this?

But we live by every word. You know how some people pick and choose what they want to hear, but when you want to really mature, if it hits you, you'll say ouch and grow. Are y'all hearing this? So you gotta deal with your appetites. Secondly, he tested—

oh my God. His desire for the gold. He said, I'll give you all of this property, I'll give you all of this money, all of these resources. She said, uh-uh, I live by what God says. He passed the test. But then he tested his pride. He said, look, if you follow me I'll exalt you and make you the ruler of all you see. Who is he to tell the King of Kings? Are y'all hearing this?

But the enemy will test you like that to see where you are. He'll come to you and say, girl, you sure can prophesy. You sure are anointed.

I don't want you to come to my conference and prophesy and preach because you're so—

you ain't even checked to see if she done got out of wilderness.

Are y'all hearing this?

And I'm not talking about her personally, but I'm just using her as an example. But people will try to push you faster than you're ready to go. What is— most of the preachers who are called to preach today are called by man and not by God.

I'm gonna help somebody today because at the end of the day, people see a person holding a mic and say, oh, they make that look easy. They can make it look easy because of the grace on their life.

But you need a genuine conversation with God. That's what a call is. Kletos in Greek, a conversation where God tells you what he wants you to do. Kletos means I'm talking to God and God says you are to preach, you are to prophesy, because you can be gifted and not called.

Oh my God.

Yeah, just because you see a need doesn't mean you called to it.

So wilderness is not freedom. Are y'all with me? So we got to go from deliverance to freedom, get to the promised land, take responsibility. So today we've talked about power in place, but today I want to talk about understanding the power of a person. Say person. Say I'm unique. Say I'm important. Says somebody needs me.

The person of who you are is necessary. The reason your heart is beating and blood is running through your veins is because somebody needs you as a person.

Person. Are y'all hearing this?

And just like you are needed as a person, there is a person or persons that you need. Can I help you? You cannot fulfill purpose in isolation.

Amen.

Oh, I don't need nobody, I'm gonna just do this by myself.

That is one of the most irresponsible things you can say, because we all need somebody. Okay, two. Okay, I see how y'all gonna be this morning, but I'm on, I'm on.

Because watch this, animate objects like a microphone, a car, a rod that Moses had They are incapable—

oh boy—

of doing anything without a person. There's no power in this mic. The power is in the person.

Are y'all hearing this?

Your car won't move except you crank it up. It means a person.

Well, with Waymo, it's still a person in that Uber that's driving by itself. It's a person on a computer somewhere controlling the movement. Are y'all hearing this?

They haven't mastered it to the point where it can just start moving on its own, because people have a mind.

Are y'all hearing this?

You are a gift to somebody.

I just tell somebody to say, I'm a gift to somebody, and tell them, you might not think so, but I'm a gift to somebody.

So there's a mystery in this. Go to the next slide.

And I talked about this, um, glory to God, last week.

But the Bible says in Mark 4:11, and he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God, but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables.

Go to the next one, Mario.

But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery.

Say mystery.

Even the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the world unto our glory.

Say there's some hidden wisdom. And watch this, most of the hidden wisdom or the mysterion, the mystery— go to the next slide so we can see what mystery is. It's a secret that was previously hidden but is now made clear so that purpose can be fulfilled and problems can be solved.

Most of the time, the mystery that you need unlocked is in a person. There's someone that knows how to do what you don't know how to do, and you got to be humble enough to connect with that person.

Are y'all hearing this?

So you can get the knowledge you need to do what you got to do. Arrogant people don't see the revelation of mystery because they're too arrogant to move in humility to receive what they need. The worst thing you can be is a know-it-all that rejects knowledge.

Are y'all hearing me?

So you gotta make sure you're in the presence of the right person. Or persons.

Can I submit this to you?

Write it down if you have to, because you're going to need this. Your best gifts and talents are going to surface in the presence of extraordinary persons. You got to get around some folk that do it better than you.

Are y'all hearing this?

Then know what you don't know. Some extraordinary people who have become a master in the area where you're trying to grow. Your best is going to surface when you're around them. The level of excellence that they move in is going to challenge you to come up higher.

Oh boy. All right, I see how y'all gonna be for real. Go to— okay, go to Acts 19:6.

Go back to that.

I want them to see that. Go back to that last slide, Mario. I want them to see it. I said it, but I want you to see it. If you're going to experience true power and freedom, you got to embrace the power of a person.

It's a person.

So I must embrace a person.

And watch this, I'm not talking about just Jesus. Oh, I got Jesus, that's all I need. No, you need somebody else. Watch this. Jesus actually fixed it that way that we can labor one with the other. Why would he give us all these gifts, all these anointings?

Are y'all hearing this?

To act like we don't need each other.

All right, you can go on, Mario.

Acts 19:6. And when Paul laid his hands— say Paul. Paul was a person. He laid a hand upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them, they spoke with tongues and prophesied.

Are y'all hearing that?

So the person, the Apostle Paul, laid his hand So you need a person.

Somebody— well, God can use anybody.

He can, but he didn't. He used Paul. Are y'all hearing this? When Paul laid hands, the Holy Ghost came on them. See, quite honestly, if the wrong person touches you, the right thing might not happen. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. You better make sure the wrong person ain't laying their hands on you. That's why you can't go to everybody's meeting. You can't be in everybody's church and everybody's conference and all laid out and talking about God was there. You don't know what life that person is living. Absolutely. You better get some discernment. 'Cause everything that glitter ain't gold, and everything that could be good to you ain't good for you.

Okay, I'm gonna leave that right there. Holy Ghost came, they spoke with tongues and they prophesied. So there ought to be some results after you encounter the right person, some Holy Ghost results.

Prophecy deals with futuristic results. Something on a shift in your future when you're around the right person. In the same, in the same vein, the Seven Sons of Sceva. It was seven people, Shannon, that could not do what one person could. You know, they don't got over this demon, some of them. Are y'all hearing this? Trying to get the demon out, waving their hand, throwing oil on it, and demon still won't move. Demon look up and say, okay, I'm tired of this. Paul, I know. Jesus, I know. But who are you? Are y'all hearing this? You got to make sure you're assigned to a thing. Amen. So it moves when you show up.

Are y'all getting this?

Many times stuff don't move cuz we ain't assigned to it.

Paul could do what 7 folk couldn't do, honoring Say honor. And connecting to the right person creates freedom. You can't be afraid to honor people you're supposed to honor, whether it's on your job, in the marketplace, in ministry, in government. You got to honor the right people. You can't dishonor people and expect them to give you favor. Are y'all hearing this? You can't yell at the people that you got to pay your bills to when you're trying to work it out.

You know you ain't got the money, you're on the phone with an attitude.

Oh yeah, you know you can't pay them.

So instead of you having an attitude with them, you might want to eat some humble pie because you need that person.

Are y'all hearing this?

To give you favor. They're not gonna give you favor. You come with the wrong attitude. A soft answer turns away wrath.

Okay, okay, next slide, Mario. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

So when we consider this, I want to start here.

Moses— stay right there— was an exceptional person. God said, Moses, you go down, deliver them into wilderness. But Moses had a rod. Say a rod. There was no power in the rod. Rod— I mean, that rod eat up Pharaoh's snakes, it parted the Red Sea. That rod seemed like it had some power, but the rod was nothing without the person. Are y'all hearing this?

Notice when they was in battle and Moses' hands was going down, they didn't go and hold up the rod. They went and held people's hands. They said, lay the rod, we gotta hold up the person. Are y'all hearing this? So you gotta understand that in this year, y'all walk past it every time you come in this church, of 5786, which is a Hebrewic year of Vav Pei. Which means connection, which is that hook on the 6, which means God gonna hook you into it, connect you to the people you need to be connected to.

Oh boy, say that with me.

Say, this year I'm going to be connected to the right person, the right people. Watch this, in the right places. That's where real freedom will start to happen. Secondly, it's a year of creativity. Oh boy, the number 7, completion or creativity, or the 5-7, deals with the God creating or being innovative in our lives. Watch this, you got to learn to create like God creates. God looks at nothing and speaks to it and it creates. I want to submit to you right here that this year you got to decide, glory to the name of God, that you are You are a creator. Why? Because the Holy Ghost lives in you.

I'm gonna say it again, somebody miss it.

You are a creator because the Holy Ghost lives in you. Touch your belly, say, I am a creator because the Holy Spirit lives in me. Now, if he really in there You should be able to do more than speak in tongues. You should— and I'm not just speaking tongues, I'm probably gonna speak in some more before I leave. But the reality is, if Holy Ghost is there, your relationship with him should expand beyond the initial evidence that he's there. Do you realize that the minor evidence of Holy Ghost is tongues? Okay, yeah, I know we don't like that because we got a lot of tongue-talking people who do nothing.

Okay, I'm not against tongue talkers, but talk in tongues and do something.

Been around the church speaking in tongues for a thousand years. I'm talking for—

I've been in the church, been in the church 90 years. I haven't been walking with Jesus, speaking in tongues, holy ghost, and ain't did nothing.

I wrote something to this effect the other day. Life is not about duration, it's about donation. It's not how long you live, it's what you do while you live. So the question is, what are you doing with all—

with your tongue-talking self? Or maybe not in here, with your tongue-talking self.

Are y'all hearing this? Tap into the Creator in you and let's do something more than jump, shout, speak in tongues, spit, blow bubbles, go to IHOP.

Or Denny's, wherever you go after. I don't know why the church like them places, man. IHOP, everybody. I guess that's all open because we stay in church all night, right? Glory to God.

Thirdly, 5786 this year, and this ties into 2026.

Watch out, the Gregorian calendar, which is 2026, and the Hebraic calendar tie in together. The third piece of this is clarity. Say clarity.

So God is going to give me clarity about my life this year.

Watch this.

Clarity is freedom from lucidity. It's freedom from ambiguity. When you're clear, you're not trying to figure out what's right and what's wrong. You're not trying to figure out what's God and what ain't. So this is my year of clarity. God's about to move you into a position, glory to God, where you're going to make clear decisions.

Now, well, I'm gonna step out here, I don't know if it's God or not. No, no, no.

He's moving into a place where you'll be clear. It's me. Are y'all hearing this?

That's what this is.

Now go to the next slide, Mario.

2026 is freedom, release, and occupancy.

You cannot have that— go back to the last slide— if you don't have connection, creativity, and clarity. Go to the next one. So you want to get free? Be released so you can occupy the space that God has called you to.

Say, there's power in person. Right connections breed creativity and clarity. This is the next one, and almost— I'm almost done. God is really moving today. It's 11:30. I'm almost through preaching. Glory to God.

Here's the next point. So the mystery of power and freedom is connected to place, people, and thirdly, periods. Periods are time frames and dispensations. Periods is the space allotted for a thing to be accomplished.

Watch this, the ladies understand this word. It's a time of cleansing. Are y'all hearing this? Now some of y'all looking like, yeah, I mean, it is okay, it is. And until you reach a certain age, you're gonna have to deal with that, okay? Praise God. It's a part of the curse to your body. Are y'all hearing this? But it's a cleansing period.

God has allotted a time frame for you to mature, fulfill purpose, and walk in freedom. Say time. It's important that you understand time. Go to 1 Chronicles 12:32.

Let's just work this.

The Bible says, and the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, the periods, to know what Israel ought to do, the heads of them were 200.

And all their brethren were at their commandment. This is so powerful.

First of all, they understood time so they can know what to do. This verse says a couple of things to me. It says, number one, if you don't have an understanding of periods, you really don't know what to do.

You just really doing something.

And if you're doing something without an understanding of periods and times, you are probably doing the wrong thing. Oh boy. Because understanding the time helps you understand what you should be doing.

Oh God. A proper understanding of time measures— watch this—

your ability.

And the Lord spoke to us at the beginning of service about this, and your capacity to complete a task.

You have to be honest with yourself. About what you can't do and about what you're not ready to do. See, you could be in a high-power service and leave and think, oh boy, I'm ready. You leave out here, man, that you come here to use you one time, and every time you come to church, tell the devil I'm here.

You just—

you ain't got no humility.

Yeah, you got to really understand the times. Are y'all hearing me? You understand what time it is in your life, where you really are?

Amen.

Watch this, always be where you are. Oh boy, we got to stop running ahead of God. Notice what happens in this context.

He had the heads, the chiefs, 200 leaders who were at their command.

They were influential, not in the temple but in the world, because they understood the time. Are y'all hearing this?

Who's your boss?

Are y'all hearing me? Or are you the boss?

If you're not, you should be. Stop letting people talk you out of being your own boss. Stop talking yourself out of it because you serve a God that has the potential to take care of you.

Are y'all hearing this? But you got to understand the times.

How does your gift fit in time? How do— how does who you are fit with how the world is flowing today?

Gotta understand periods.

You'll never have power if you're out of time. People who are stuck in a time machine have no power. There are some people who are stuck in 1972.

Well, God did a miracle in my life in '72, and you know, he was using me so great in '84. Okay, what is he doing now? You got to understand the time. How do you fit with now? You can go to the next slide, Mario. 1 Chronicles— I'm sorry, Ecclesiastes 3:1. To everything— somebody say everything— there's a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. Good God, we got to get a proper understanding of this.

So our year—

watch this— has different seasons, right? We have fall, winter, spring, summer. They're all different, but they're still a part of the year.

You're gonna go through seasons that mature you.

I talked to some men, they get married and they said, I'm young man, sex all night, sex in the morning, sex in the noonday, Apostle, sex when the sun go down. The devil is alive. It just don't happen like that.

It might happen like that in the beginning, but as you stay in the seasons of that marriage, here's reality: you have to mature enough to know that you have more responsibility. Because guess what? The light bill's coming, the mortgage payment is coming. Car notes are coming. So you got to have responsibility throughout the seasons of your marriage to know that you're there to provide. The mismanagement of seasons introduces irresponsibility to the church. When you mismanage a season and do something before time or out of time or at the wrong time, one, you don't have power with you.

Oh boy.

Two, you don't have the approval of God, and you eventually fail. And that casts a bad light on the church. So we gotta understand, to everything there's a season, even in marriage. Guess what? As a man, I understand I am called to be a giver.

Y'all ain't got to say nothing.

My wife is a receiver. That's just the way it works. Her anatomy suggests she's a receiver. Whatever a man gives to a woman, she incubates it. Multiplies it, and gives it back to him to take care of.

Are y'all hearing this?

So if a man don't like what his wife is giving him, it's not her fault. What have you given her that she's incubating, multiplying, and giving back to you? Oh boy. I know I got the right wife because I can put $40,000 in her hand and I know she's gonna incubate it, she's gonna multiply it, it's gonna come back better than I gave it to her.

Are y'all hearing this?

She ain't going to Saks and spend all my money. Are y'all hearing this? Seasons mature you. Two things about a season, write it down. Number one, you cannot start a season. You can be in the middle, as cold as it is outside now, you can go out there and say, in the name of Jesus, hooka masaka, coming a Honda, leaving Alexis. I rebuke you, winner. I command summer to come. Winter is going to freeze you.

Y'all ain't got to say nothing, cause seasons are what they are.

You cannot start a season.

Let me take it deeper. Next month they're going to be celebrating what is called Black History Month. In my opinion, every month is Black History Month. I'm just leave that right there, because a lot of the things that happen in this world, people of color has something to do with.

Amen. Now, Dr.

King, them in the civil rights movement, was trying to start a season. Okay, I'm gonna get in trouble because I know we love Dr.

King, but it doesn't matter how many marches on Washington you have.

Sit-ins, marches in Selma. If it's not your season to be free— oh, y'all hearing this?

Freedom is not going to happen until the season change. Okay, if God says to people of color You're going to be under a curse for 400 years because you worshiped other gods. We can march on Washington all we want. The change didn't happen until God lifted the curse. Okay, okay, I'm not saying the work was in vain. Y'all looking at me funny, okay? But the reality is you got to respect— see Amen. God didn't change. Nobody told us to worship idols. We were paying for the sins of our ancestors. And then you got crazy folk that's crazy enough to pray to their ancestors. The devil is a liar. I don't suffer enough because of stuff they did in witchcraft and worshiping idols.

Okay, number 2, let me just move from that. Uh-uh, no, go back, I'm still here. Number 2, say, I can't start a season. So again, a man doesn't need to get married if he ain't ready. Listen, single sisters, I'm telling you, I believe God's gonna start sending husbands to these single ladies in this church and even people watching me. I, I, I heard in prayer just these wedding bells, and I, I believe it's for the single people in this church and the single people connected to me. But God told me to tell you, be very careful because counterfeits will show up.

You need a man that's ready.

Okay, yeah, he need to be ready.

He need to be mature. He need to be able to take care of your bills and his. Before God gave Adam a wife, he gave him a job. Are y'all hearing this? He told him, tend to this garden.

Are y'all hearing me?

Name these animals. And notice, the woman is a product of the man.

Are y'all hearing this?

God didn't go to the dirt twice. He went to the dirt once and made the man. And then when he got ready to make a woman, he went inside the man, took his rib bone, and the Bible said he built a woman from man. And called her woman, or female. A man with a womb.

Are y'all hearing this?

A male that could carry a fetus. So for my homosexual brothers, no matter how many wigs you put on, stockings and heels, If you can't carry the fetus—

are y'all hearing this?

If you ain't got no loan, you still a brother, and God is calling you home. See, we gotta stop playing with this crap. And oh yeah, we love you, but we want you to get it right. We want you to get free. We're not gonna be silent another day. We're gonna let you know who you really are.

Are y'all here? Y'all don't like talking like this at church.

This is how you—

this is what we're supposed to do. God have mercy. We gotta tell the truth. Okay, you need a responsible man that can provide, that can pray for you. Why would you marry a joker? Are y'all hearing this? That can't pray for you, that can't speak into your life. Work is not a curse. I told y'all that last week. God wants you to manage. That's management, managing your purpose in the right time you've been given. You gotta manage the resources under your care. That's real freedom. Take time every day to do that. If you don't manage what God has given you, he'll take it.

Oh, I'm just talking from experience. I ain't always been the guy I am now. There have been some seasons where I mismanaged things and I lost things. So I'm trying to tell—

give you some wisdom.

If you mismanage, God take it. Some stuff you ain't received because you're not ready yet, and God is protecting that person or that thing from you. Oh boy, because he knows you'll mishandle it. Some people said God gave me a house and took it. God didn't take the house, you didn't pay the mortgage. You're rebuking the devil because you lost your house. No, it was mismanagement.

Are y'all hearing this? Y'all don't like this kind of talk, right? I'm gonna just tell you the truth, man.

I really want to see you move into Dominion. You were booking the repo man while he taking your car up the street. That ain't his fault. Watch this. You get prayer for healing and God heal your body, and then you go back and start eating all the bacon you can find, all the ham sandwiches you can find.

I don't know, I'm getting trouble today.

You never work out. I know the devil in my body. No, it's you and your body. Are y'all hearing this? You, you got to take care of what God is giving you. Y'all don't believe that God gave Adam the Garden of Eden, and in Genesis 3, when he violated management God put him out. The Bible said he put Adam out of the garden and then put an angel to guard it so he couldn't get back in. Oh, you don't want God to evict you because God will put you out and you'll never get it back.

So you got to be a good manager. Stop blaming your ex-wife or your ex-husband for your credit score. Take charge over your life and change that.

Are y'all hearing me?

Because the enemy wants to restrict your productivity.

He wants to keep you from multiplying, and he wants you to be like Adam and blame everybody else. Look what he did. He blamed the person he's supposed to be taking care of. It's the wife you gave me. Typical man, don't never want to own their stuff, their ego. I mean, a man is so— can be so stupid sometimes.

And I'm a man, I'm—

I've been there. I still have stupid moments, right? I mean, you know you wrong. I mean, you driving the wrong way, wife telling you, man, you're going the wrong way, you need to go this way.

And you said, no, this way is better.

And because you don't want to be wrong, man, just turn the car around. Are y'all hearing this? The reality is God gives you help and you have to receive it. Amen.

Oh boy, let's, let's move. Let's slide, Mario. I'm out of here, man. Number 2 was periods, time. So say this with me. Say, in the name of Jesus, I will experience power and freedom because I understand the power of place, the power of person. And the power of periods. So you got to guard your time periods. You got to use the time to mature and grow up. Are y'all hearing this? That's why you come to a place like this, so you can be stretched. Are y'all hearing this? Ministry is not easy. And if you're a leader, you can't lead from the back. Are y'all hearing this? Leaders are in front. Glory to God. Last one, hopefully.

If you're gonna experience true power and freedom, you got to embrace presence.

This is so important. Listen, God's presence is not— and I'm about to kill a religious thing right here— it's not something we create with our efforts. Somebody feel, if I come to church and we worship long enough The presence will overwhelm us. If I holler loud enough, the presence will come in. I pray long enough, the presence will overtake me. Watch this. God's presence is always a gift to us, and it's totally independent of what you do.

I'm gonna say it again. It's independent of what you do. In reality, God is already present.

It's us that need to be awakened to his presence.

He here.

You have to tap into him.

Presence deals with the idea is that you are in the same space with me. If someone requests your presence, that means they desire you in the same space. Presence is his intellect.

It's not goosebumps. We'll go to church, and we need to kill this religious idea, and so the presence was there because we fell out on the floor, we shouted a while. Are y'all hearing this? The presence was there. The preacher preached in high gear, he modulated in every key. Watch this.

Noise is not the anointing.

Are you hearing this?

Watch this. Neither is softness, cuz some people think the softer they are, the more presence they have. Lie! You just dead.

Come on, I'm just going to say it soft.

Everything about praise is loud. You can't read the scripture about praise. He said it, make a joyful noise. I enter his gates with thanksgiving, which means my mouth is open and I'm shaboath, I'm speaking loud thanks to God because I'm excited about who he is. So it's not how you do it, right?

It's awakening up to him being there, and you do it in your own way. But let's not put him in the box that your way is the right way. Are y'all hearing this?

That if I don't do it like you, I'm not in the presence? Here's what I do know: if I'm in the presence, I ain't going to leave his presence stupid. Okay, yeah, okay, let me go back Because you can be in the presence and talk about you in the presence of God and you still acting a fool. How you been in the presence, you still doing the same thing you were doing before you got in the presence? Therefore, to come to church, say we was in the present, then leave the church right at the cross stand and go sleep with somebody that's not their wife.

Are y'all hearing this? Or not their husband.

Some people sleep with folk right at the church, have a high service, and God really move for the people, but he must didn't move for that preacher. Because if you preaching and end up in somebody's hotel room after service sleeping with them, I'm in the wrong place, okay?

Are y'all hearing this?

Something happens in presence.

Okay, let's go to Psalm 16:11. Let's go, let's go, let's just work this and I'm gonna be done because I'm boring y'all.

The Bible said, thou will show me the path of life. So yada in Hebrew, which means revelation. You'll open my eyes to intimately see what I have never seen before.

Say the word. Say, Lord, show me.

So when you are pursuing the presence of God, you should pursue his presence with the mindset that I want to see something. I want to see something about my life. Are y'all hearing this? That I have not seen before. Do you realize there are dimensions of your life that you've never tapped into? There are things that God knows about you that you've never seen. And what God does every day, he keeps things hidden so you'll come after his presence, because he gets joy in you pursuing his presence. Again, however you do it, he gets joy. When Michael Jr. was a little boy 2 things he would do, and, and my grandbabies do this now. I'll walk in the door, Michael Jr., 2 years old, and no matter where he was in the house, his little feet would start running toward the door, and he'd be doing this the whole time.

And he would have so much joy on his face because my presence was in the house.

Are y'all hearing this? So I would pick him up, and you know what I would do?

I'll pick him up, give him to his mom, because I enjoyed it so much. I go back out the door because I wanted to experience that again.

Are y'all hearing this? So God is the same way. He takes joy when you're looking for him. Hallelujah! So every day he hides in a dementia and said, would you come here and find me? And his arms are open to receive you. Oh God, because he wants to show you the path of life. Watch this. Path is orach in Hebrew. It is where we get words like architecture. An architect designs a building before it is built. So God says, I want to show you the design of your life. I want to show you the plans that I designed for your life before you were ever born. See, many of us have been building a life and we don't have the plans. You cannot build a new building.

We—

I said it, uh, yesterday on the new members class, we're getting ready to buy this 33 acres, man.

Uh, next week I'm looking to put a contract on that property.

We gonna buy cash. Glory to the name of God. My next step, glory to Jesus, is going to be to go to my architect and say, this is what we want to build. And you know what I'm gonna do? Uh, in this place, or wherever we go after this place, I'm gonna get the plans blown up as big as that wall over there. We'll put them on the wall so every time you come in here, you're gonna see where we're going. Y'all not talking to me here, because I believe God is about to do something that we never have experienced before. But guess what? I already saw it. I've already seen the plan. I know what he's gonna do. The question is What sees thou? What do you see for your life? What, what plans have you discovered? God has already designed it, and you got to stop living life by error and live life by design.

Okay, that wasn't enough to get you excited, I don't know. Okay, listen. There's a few points about presence. He says, you'll show me. Say, show me, Lord. Say, I'm here by design, and I want to see the plans so I can live my life according to and in alignment with your design for me.

Give God praise if you want to see that for real.

So a few points about true power and freedom. Number 1, you can write it down: true power and freedom is found in the revelation—

watch this— that we were born to be a dwelling place for the presence of God. You're on earth not to do the stuff you want to do. You're on Earth to be a dwelling place for God.

You're here to be a host to God's presence.

The Bible says your body is the temple of God, which means when you get saved, God moves in. And he wants to make your life a dwelling place.

Rub your belly and say, Lord, dwell in me. Say, live in me. Give him the authority to have control in your life. Let your life be his dwelling place. That's why you're on Earth. He wants to dwell in all of your plans, all of your desires. See, when God's your dwelling place, you don't live irresponsibly because you want to please him. When you really realize that he's in there for real, you decide that every move you make is going to be to bring him pleasure. Why?

Because in his presence is fullness of joy.

In his intelligence, in his presence in your life is fullness of joy.

Now watch this.

Joy is shey'ah in Hebrew, and it means prophet. P-R-O-F-I-T, not P-R-O-F-I-T. Like the prophet and prophet. No, he said fullness of prophecy. He said fullness of prophet. See, some people will equate the presence being full in their life because of how much they can prophesy. No, gifts and calling come without repentance, but in his presence for real is fullness of prophet.

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. So what do you have left? Hallelujah! After all the hell you've been through, all the attacks you've survived, What's left to wave in the devil's face and say, you should have killed me while I was going through it? Because here's what, here's what I understand. The timeless thesis of God is this: that God never changes. The timeless thesis of God is that he's the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. The timeless thesis of God says, oh my God, that he's God and he's God all by himself. Or somebody shout and say, he's just God. And I'm telling you, he doesn't change and he wants to bless his people. And when I'm in his presence, I can operate in fullness, which means I never am in the red.

Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me here.

That's why I have dedicated my life to hosting God, so I never come up short. Oh, y'all ain't talking to me here. I've been broke before, and I decided I never want to even lack another day in my life. I have preached and helped others— y'all ain't talking to me here— and seeing God move in their life through my preaching, my praying. And then when I got home, I didn't see it in my own life. I said, God, I never want to go back there. You're not talking to me here. So I made up I'm a host God, and I've learned that as long as God is with me, I got fullness of profit.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm not impressed if you tell me you in the presence and you still struggling.

What presence you in?

Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me here.

I'm not impressed. You, you, you can quote scripture and speak in tongues and prophesy, turn flips, glory to God, but you still struggling with your identity. You're struggling in the world. The reality is you need to really get in his presence, cuz the Bible ain't lying. Glory to God. When you get in his presence, I'm a witness, you'll have fullness of profit.

Joy here ain't you being exuberantly happy, it's profit. God don't want his people living in lack. Number 2, write it down, I'm almost done. Somebody— that's funny to somebody. True power and freedom will manifest when we understand— watch this— that we cannot go to dimensions of freedom in places where we have not gone in intimacy. There are depths in the presence you will never go to if you have not gone there in intimacy.

You can't just talk this. You got to have intimate encounters with God. And to the depth that you're intimate you will have a reflection in your freedom, in your power.

Real power is harnessed in intimacy. Oh God, a man doesn't talk to his wife in private like he talks to her in public. Or he shouldn't. Yeah, there are some that, you know, they say anything, they wife, in front of anybody.

But in private, the conversation around intimacy is different because a man's mind in intimacy— intimate leads to impartation.

Are y'all hearing this?

Importation often happens in isolation.

Are y'all hearing this?

God wants you to be isolated, intimate with him, so he can impart instructions to you.

But if you never pray until you in trouble. Some people pray when they hurting, they pray when there's a crisis, but prayer ought to always be a priority. The Bible said men should always pray and not faint. Always being the operative word. You should be praying all the time because freedom will only manifest to the dimension of your intimacy. You know, me and my wife was talking and we was watching something on TV, and the lady— it was a married couple and they was talking about how they schedule their intimacy. I'm like, that's interesting, but And my wife says, she's got a lot of wisdom, she said, well, that works for some people because they know that day that's what's going to happen, and they make time for it, and they prepare for those intimate moments. They know Tuesday is the day. Are y'all hearing this, man? Be at work all day and said, tonight's the night.

Y'all hearing this?

But that's too planned for me, right?

But it works for some people.

Y'all hearing this?

You ought to have some prime time with God. God met Adam in the garden in the cool of the day.

It was a set time in a set spot. Are y'all hearing this? Well, he met God every day.

If you can sit and binge-watch His and Her for 6 episodes—

see, some of y'all already done did it. Are y'all hearing this?

You know, it just came out on the 8th, y'all done already watched it.

See, I see.

But if you can binge-watch them episodes— we did it last night. But the reality is, if you can do that You ought not be mad if we come to church and stay 6 hours.

Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me here.

First thing we want to do is complain about how long the service is, but you can Netflix and chill for 8 hours.

Okay, but you can't stay that long in the presence. Oh boy.

I'm just saying, we got to set our priorities on presence. Last one, number 3: we must live in a way—

next slide, Mario. I might have these on the slides, I don't know.

Okay, we must live in a way—

watch this—

that nothing—

somebody say nothing.

Gets bigger than our awareness of his presence in our life.

Amen.

So many times what's going on gets— we'll let it exalt itself above his presence.

Money problems, sickness, disease, things that happen.

We'll forget that we're actually God's children. Pain in your body, man. Come on, what a weak excuse to excuse yourself from the presence. If you are a person of presence, the first place you ought to want to be if you got pain—

y'all ain't got to talk to me here—

is in the presence of God, not Tylenol.

Are you okay?

God is a healer, right?

This year I'm not going to be as lenient as I've been because I want y'all to take dominion for real.

I don't want to call this church Rodda Church and we don't birth no people of dominion.

Are y'all hearing this?

We cannot do that if we don't have awareness that his presence is available to us. And watch this, that we can accomplish anything. That's why I could talk boldly that I'm gonna buy that 33 acres with no bank. Glory to God. And we're gonna have every dime debt-free, and we're gonna build a church right around the corner from here, and we're gonna put up a film and production studio in the school, and we're gonna put up houses. So if y'all want to live in the community, you can buy house. Glory to the name of God. In the community, y'all ain't got to talk to me here. I'm telling you what God will do. You got to be aware.

Yes, Lord.

And this going to be a community where we going to own the houses. So, and we going to own the finance company that creates the mortgage. So based on your status in the kingdom, not your FICO score— y'all ain't talking to me here— you'll be able to purchase. I need, I need somebody to hear me, because every child of God needs the right to own. I can talk like this because I'm aware of who I serve. It's not an accident when we were praying and interceding that God took over and began to say, we'll never be defeated. You know why? Because he always wins. I need somebody to shout that, say he always wins. And I need you to keep your awareness of God's presence. I'm telling you, he'll never leave you nor forsake you. He'll be with you now and until the end of the age. Can I tell you something? What you've been waiting on is coming. Oh, glory to the name of God. It's been held up, it's been delayed, but what you have been expecting A great thing is getting ready to break into your life, and God's about to overtake you with more blessing and increase than you ever seen before. I wish I had a church that believed that this was your year of freedom and release, and you're about to move in the power of presence. You're not serving Buddha with his fat self. You're not serving some weak Muhammad who's still in the grave, but you— God have mercy. We serve the living Jesus, and he's alive forevermore. I wish you would preach with me. Just shout in this place, things are changing right before my eyes. I tell you, open your mouth. The way it was is not the way it's going to be. Can I prophesy I prophesy to you this morning, things are about to turn. Change is about to happen. A new day is on the horizon. Yesterday is gone, but this is God's time. This is God's day for you and I. New year, same God. New year, same God. God's about to show you what you never seen before. Clap your hands and give God praise.

Yeah. At his right hand. For thou will show me the path of life, for in thy presence is fullness of joy.

And at thy right hand— right hand is his hand of authority. I'm telling you, I see it in the spirit. God has stretched out his right hand, and God says, this season right here, I'm about to give you pleasure, not like you think, but I'm about to give you heavenly pleasures, eternal pleasures, pleasures that cannot be denied. Folks are about to look at your life and say, I thought she was dead, I thought it was over for him, how is it that he's still alive, how is it that she's still here? God said everything the devil threw at you, he's about to turn it around. There's about to be a release of new joy. I wish I was in the right church. New pleasure, new glory, new anointing. I dare somebody open your mouth and receive it right now. Yeah, pleasure.

It's a season of pleasure.

I'm taking you from pain to pleasure. Shakando. I'm taking you from problems to pleasure. I'm about to blow your mind, said God. You've been praying and I heard you, and I'm about to snatch open the heavens and pour out pleasure. Somebody shout, pour out pleasure! The pain of toil The pain of rejection, the torment of not having enough, the torment of not feeling valuable and capable. God says, I'm about to release the pleasure that comes from heaven, the joy that comes from heaven, to do what you are assigned to do. God said, yeah, you've been going through it long enough. Yeah, Israel, you've been at this mountain long enough, long enough. You've been right here stuck long The Spirit of God said it's the season of pleasure. Let's go forward.

Everybody stand.

I'm done.

Stand, please. I'm done. Yes, Lord, we bless your name. We bless your name. Lift your hands up, everybody. It's a season of pleasure. It's a new season, it's a new day. Fresh anointing is flowing your way. It's a season of power and prosperity. It's a new season and it's coming your way. Come on, begin to worship him for the new day.

Come on, open your mouth, worship him. Come on, come on, come on. I'm telling you, you're right at the brink of something. You're at the cusp of something new. God's about to do what you thought could never be done.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. I dare you take your right foot and just stomp it. Just stomp it again.

It's a command. That's you stepping into your new place of pleasure and authority. Stomp it again. It's new. Yes, God.

Yes, God.

We be all glory.

We bless your name. We honor your name. How good are you, God? How mighty are you? We got to be true and we got to desire true Freedom and power that emerges in place. Yeah, God, that emerges through person, through presence. Come on, worship her, worship him. It's the mystery of power. It's the mystery of power. My goal was to give you some apostolic wisdom today. Today that you can take out and apply to your life.

You're people of dominion. You're great people.

Those here, those online that ain't here today, that's connected to this ministry, you're great. But we got to step it up this year.

Later for the excuses. I want you to grab your brother, sister by the hand.

We're praying this Take that music back up for me a moment, Mario. Thank you, Jesus. I'm praying this morning that you'll move into the place of pleasure and favor. You can turn it down some, the music. I'm praying today that you'll step into the reality of time. I'm praying that God will give you an understanding, a revelation of time, and you will use your time wisely. You won't waste your time in the wrong places with the wrong people doing the wrong stuff. I heard the Lord say you got to release all that Idol stuff, idol people, idol talk. People who are irresponsible, immature, they spend time talking about other people who are doing something. Mature people talk about great things. They talk about the future. They talk about God's plans. This is where God is calling you. So squeeze those hands you're holding. Squeeze, squeeze them. Let them know you're there and begin to pray in the spirit right now. If you got a prayer language, come on. Come on, stir it up in this atmosphere. Zion, come on, come on, pray till you feel it in your belly, because something is releasing in this room this morning.

Everything about this service was out of the ordinary, and as we prayed this morning, there's an extraordinary mantle of joy, of shea, being released in your life. A prophet, P-R-O-F-I-T, be as we pray is being released now. Prophet in your business, prophet in your family, prophet in your health. Even those watching, God go through the camera and God, even as we pray, release prophet in their life. Come on, open your mouth. Come on, I need you to pray through here. Jesus, we bless you. Jesus, we honor you. Thank you. There's release. It's coming, it's coming. Father, we give you praise now, and we thank you, God, that what's to come is better than what has been. And number one, today, God, I pray for your people and myself that we will embrace this season of connection, of creativity and clarity, of freedom and release and occupancy, that we will embrace it with open arms. God, we will not reject your desire to make fresh connections, to open new doors, to connect us with the people that we need to be connected to, to get done what you called us to do. God, we are open to the fresh move. We're open to new dimensions. We're open to the place where we'll make connection. We're open to the place where you created with your name on it for us to abide in so we can learn and grow and be developed. Come on, pray through. Father, we thank you for creativity. No longer will we make decisions about our life that you did not already decide. We will discover your decision and we will simply obey. In the basata tabaya. And I declare as we pray, we are creative because the Holy Spirit lives in us. And I decree and declare, God, nothing will stop our creativity. I release the anointing of creation that will create like you create. We acknowledge the fact today, God, that you live in us. Oh God, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, where the presence of God is, there is liberty. So Father, we thank you now, oh God, for creative nature emerging out of us. New products, new ideas, new innovations. God, I thank you. Under the sound of my voice, you raise up supernatural creators. Not just content creators, but people that will create in the systems of the world, in municipality, in government, creators in finance, creators in media, creators in education, creators in government, creators. We thank you for the creators that are emerging in this place even as we pray. And God Thank you now for clarity. For in thy presence, in thy presence, you will show us the design. I declare that no person under the sound of my voice will go another day without clarity to what you created them to do. Give them clear picture and clear revelation on how to do it. Give them the specifications on what they need to do to go to the next level of connection and creativity, the next level of freedom. I release power in this place, the Kratos of God, the Dunamis of God, the Exousia of God, that they will go forth in the world and tell take their place and nothing will stop them. We are a people of power. Yeah, God, we are a people of breakthrough, and we declare it in the name of Jesus. Loose those hands and give God praise if you can. Come on, I can't hear you. Open your mouth. Even those of you online, open your mouth. Come on, open your mouth in your living room, in your bedroom, in your car. There's breakthrough coming.

Yeah, yeah. Yes, Lord, we give you praise, we give you glory. Come on, Brother Lamont, Evangelist Lamont, lift your hands up. Father, I thank you every chain being broken. Thank you for the freedom you've given this man, and thank you that there'll be more days of freedom ahead. I called you up here, man of God, because God sent you here so the gifts in you could be stirred. And so God God told me in the days to come when we do our appointments in the house and we do our ordinations, he told me to make you the pastor over the men's ministry. And we give you praise, we give you praise. Somebody shout, so be it!

Come on, lift your hands and worship!

Lift your hands and worship. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Come on, Prophetess. God is solidifying your place place, not just in this house but in the body. God brought you back home for a second time because he's ushering you into more. And God said your role in this house— he said, in the days to come, as we make our appointments, I'm going to ordain you again. You was the pastor of intercession in the Destiny Place in Jackson, and you going to be the pastor of intercession in this movement. Pastor too. We bless your name, God. We bless your name. Come here, Apostle Asia, real quick. I know sometimes you don't understand why God has even brought you back into this setting and why he's moved you around. And you're back again because we are supposed to serve together. God spoke to me last night and he said, tell you that you are to be the senior associate the Apostle of this church. It won't take nothing away from you and what you're called to do, but it gives you connection, it gives you responsibility and accountability in the house, and it's going to further bless what you're extended to do in the world. So Father, we thank you for the anointing, and in the days to come, we're going to appoint you to that place. You're going to work in that area and God's going to bless you tremendously. For eyes have not seen and ears have not heard what our partnership shall do in this region. Many shall be transformed, many shall be changed.

Oh!

We bless you, God. We bless you, God.

Come on, give God praise.

Come here, Vicki. Lift your hands up. We give you praise and glory, God. Thank you for the anointing of her life, God. And God said, because of your maturity as a woman and what he's called you to do for women, your heart for women, your heart for family, even the women in your family— God said to me yesterday, he said, make Vicki, appoint her as the pastor of women ministries. And in the days that come, I'm going to point you to that place.

It's not an accident, Mother, that you found this church. Thank you, Lord. You are here because of not where you where you are, but where you're going. There are other seniors and mothers and even older men that is going to attach themselves to this house. And God said you will be the matriarch of this ministry. You will be the pastor of seniors ministry, and you will be an example to all the women. You will you will be a great example that will help teach even the younger women. And God said he's going to get the glory out of everything you do. Your days ahead will be filled with so much purpose, so much intent. Your days will be deliberate and strategic. God says, with long life I've satisfied you. And God said you will fulfill this his purpose, and you will do a great job, and he will get the glory. So Father, we thank you for our pastor of seniors ministry that you're gonna use with great power and authority in this house, and we bless you and honor you. Seba le tosi. Thank you, Lord.

Come on, just worship him a few moments. Thank you. Hallelujah. Come on, quickly, Tony Kirby, quickly. Thank you, Lord. Glory to God. Lift your hands up. We give you praise, Jesus. We give you praise. Your connectivity to this room bears great importance. Your presence in this space bears great significant importance. And God spoke to me last night as I was praying over these things. He says, son, you appoint her— not only will you move in the prophetic and move in your teaching ministry ministry, but it's important that you work close to the executive branch of this house because of the knowledge God has given you and the things that God has called us to do. So God said to appoint you. You'll be ordained as a prophet, but you'll be appointed as the executive administrative assistant to myself, and that carries a lot of weight. And so, Father, we thank you for Tanya Kirby. Thank you for the mantle that's on her life for administration. Thank you for the mantle that's on her life for the prophetic, and we give you praise for what you're going to use her to do in the days to come. Thank you that she will be a help and she will lift burdens off of the house because of her gifts and the anointings that she brings to the table. And thank you that the days ahead will be filled with so much joy for her as you continue to prepare her for what's to come. For God said, what's to come will far exceed what you've already experienced. Your greatest days are not behind you. He said to tell you they're not even in front of you, they're inside of you. And the moment you embrace them, they will come forth. God says he's missed no thing with you, and the time is now. So Father, I thank you, I give you glory. From the crown of her head to the very sole of her feet, God, we give you praise for it now.

Oh yeah!

Stir the prophetic. Prophesy, woman of God.

Yes.

Yeah, yeah, we give you glory. Lift your hands, lift your hands, everybody. We glorify his name, we glorify his name. Come on, worship Jesus. Come on, lift your hands. Worship Jesus. Hallelujah, hallelujah. We bless you, God. We bless you, God. Yeah, I see that, God. Come around. We bless your name. We bless your name. Lift your hands up. This journey for you has been one of learning. You're like a sponge. You love to receive. But God said you're about to step into a season where you're going to help others receive, and you're going to take responsibility for how they receive and what they receive. In addition to the prophetic that's on your life, you're going to flow as a prophet in this house for sure. But God told me to tell you that you will become the pastor of education. And you will assist in the educational process, the structure of it. And you'll understand more what that is, because God's going to now give you an innate love for books, an, an, a love for syllabus and courses. You're going to be a great asset to make sure the body is growing. You're gonna be a nutrient that is necessary. And you'll work along my side to make sure that all of the educational pieces are in place the right way. This is gonna be great training for you because as a prophet, you're gonna have to educate other prophets. And you're gonna learn what that structure looks like. You're gonna learn how to birth things out. God's going to get the glory out of it. So Father, I thank you. This is all new to her, but thank you that you're going to get the glory out. It's going to push her to another place, another place, another place where she's never gone, and it's going to challenge potential, things that she's never done but can do and still can do. I give you glory for it now. She'll be well-versed in training and how to release training. Thank you for what you're going to do supernaturally. I love this. He's going to take your raw potential and get the glory. Yeah, Shabbat.

Yeah. Thank you, Jesus.

We give you praise. We give you glory. We honor your name. Lift your hands, everybody. Lift your hands. Come on, worship Jesus. Worship Jesus. Just lift your hands and worship. We love you, Jesus.

Hallelujah.

Come in, Nicole. We give you glory, God. We honor your great name. Yes, Lord, I thank you. I praise you. God said you got to move in this next dimension of freedom, because your heart for souls must be maximized. And God said he brought you to this house so you might serve in the area of evangelism and outreach. And God says in days to come you'll be appointed as the pastor of evangelism, one of the most important jobs in this entire church. He said to Timothy, make full proof of your ministry, do the work of an evangelist. As we partner together, we will see many souls soul saved, many souls delivered, many lives changed. And God said he gonna use you just the way you are. He says he's going to use your personality, he's going to use your swag, he's going to use you, and many will be turned to righteousness. Because he who the sun sets is free indeed.

And through the liberty he's brought you, he'll give you strategies. For he that wins a soul is wise.

He'll give you wise strategies that'll bring men and women alike into the kingdom. And because you live and hold that position Their lives will never be the same. Thank you for Nicole Jones and what you're going to do in her life, God. And thank you, God, that as we appoint her to the pastor of evangelism in days to come, that many lives will be changed. And transformed in Jesus' name. Oh yeah, yeah, God. Yes, God. Yes, yes. Come on, worship the Lord for me, please. Hallelujah! God is building a house. Hallelujah! And for that, we're glad. Thank you, Jesus.

Come on, give God praise.

For that we're glad. I say it again, for that we're glad.

Somebody still missed it. For that we're glad.

Koutaba Sande Asa. Glory to God. Glory to God. Come here, Shannon. As you serve here, as you operate as a prophet, and as you flow in the intercessory department, well, God says he's calling you also to something new. God says in the days to come, he's going to appoint you in this house as the pastor of leadership. Because you have leaders that have already connected to you that you're developing even outside of this place. But God said you're going to hone your skills as a leader of leaders in this very room. Glory to God. And God said, as the pastor of leadership You will influence the other leaders in excellence, in matters of structure, order, and commitment. So God says, I put you here because you got to operate at a high level of accountability here, because where you're going is going to require accountability like never before. First to God, second to yourself, and thirdly to every assignment to which you are given. That's how I hear it. Leadership. So God says, as you begin to study leadership and you get to understand this office, I'm going to sit down with you, and as I am with every other person, and walk you through what this looks looks like in this house. And you are going to be a blessing to the leadership team and myself. God said many times you have been on the backside of the desert, but like Moses, he has called you from the backside, and he's called to the forefront in this place. In the days to come, they're going to be— apostolic houses draw lots of leaders. So as you serve in this place, you'll be a liaison between myself, Lady Felicia, and the leadership, and you will operate very well in this dimension. It will get you ready for what's to come. Lift your hands. Father, I thank you and I give you glory. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, we bless you. Come on, bless the Lord. We love him. We love him. We love him. We bless him. God is so good. He's building— somebody say the word. Say, the Lord is building a house. The Bible said, except the Lord build the house, them that labor, labor in vain. I have no desire to do any of this. I just work with him. Glory to God. And I'm telling you, we're going to make a great impact in this region, and I'm excited about what's to come. Clap your hands and praise God, everybody. Amen. Glory to God. We're going home. Mario, you going to put the ways to give up really quickly. Glory to Jesus. Y'all pray for Pastor Jeffrey. He texted me at 8:30 this morning and said that his body was filled with pain and that he wouldn't be in church today. He's been moving all week and, uh, he probably didn't much like what I texted back. But y'all pray that he get healed. I've been praying for him too. Glory to God. But God is— because I'm just on something else this year, right? We got to stop making excuses. And that's not just for him, that's for everybody, because we got to do this. Say we got to do this. And we can't do it making excuses.

Amen.

All right, all right. So we're gonna prepare our hearts to give. Y'all ready to give?

Amen.

The Bible said God love a cheerful giver. Well, clap your hands and give God praise for cheer. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. So I want you tonight to get your— not tonight, today. I've been preaching so long, I've been holding this mic so long, it feels like tonight. Glory to God, glory to God. Get your best gifts, get your tithe. If you're a tither, you owe God 10% of all your increase. Amen, amen. The Bible said, if you bring your tithe offering to the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house. He said, prove me now herewith, said the Lord, that I will not open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing. You won't have room enough to receive.

Amen.

So you don't want to be cursed, right? We want the blessing of the Lord. So let's give God our tithe and let's give him our very best sacrifice this morning. Amen. Glory to God. You owe God. So Father, we thank you right now. Every gift and every giver belongs to you. They both belong to you, their gifts and them. And so Father, Father, as they sow and give today, I pray that you will return this seed back to them a thousand times more. Thank you that we don't lack a thing, neither do we have a care. We will not miss it to the left nor to the right. This house is filled with good stewards, good managers, and we know part of management in our finances is first to give you what belongs to you. And so, Father, we are obedient in that regard. This is a 100% tithing church, and we thank you for that in the name of Jesus. We don't accept anything less, and we give you praise that this people is blessed. Under the sound of my voice are millionaires, multimillionaires, and even billionaires.

I declare it in the name of Jesus, and lack is not our portion.

We own our properties, we own our cars and new properties without banks because we participate in this part of worship. And we praise you for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. Amen. If you're bringing cash, bring it, put it in the bucket. Uh, if you're giving, those are the ways to give. Get your seed in the ground. Hallelujah. Glory to God. Those of you online, please, the Bible says that we communicate to you spiritual things. Glory to God. You should communicate your natural things, so make sure you give in. Amen. Praise God. Wonderful. Say glory to God.

Later in the—

in the green— in that gray, come here, come here real quick. Just lift your hands. Stand behind the Sharia. Because God said, 2026, I saw this when you were walking. I saw this moisture under your feet. Moisture is symbolic of the presence of God, water and moisture and dew. God said there's a new irrigation of the Spirit that's about to take place in your life, and God says he's shifting Even the very things I preach about today, he's shifting place and person and presence, and he's doing a new thing. God is bringing you out of old patterns and he's bringing you into new realms. And that— you last— this is the year where it's going to come in fullness. And God said you are blessed to be a blessing. And God said don't Don't you ever think it's over and it's too late. God said your purpose is about to be fulfilled. Your potential is about to be maximized. Father, I thank you. Yeah, let's take it in the name of Jesus. Yeah, just take it. Yeah, Jesus, Jesus. We give you praise. This is the year. Yeah, what you went through in 2020, 2021, 2022, and you started this hit and miss recovery 23, 24, 25, but God said total recovery in 2026. Somebody give God praise.

Hey!

Glory to God. We thank you. We thank you. Wonderful Jesus. Hallelujah.

Woo!

Shaya! Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah, God. Hallelujah, Jesus. Shabande o shara. Thank you, Jesus. God is good and he's worthy to be praised.

Clap your hands, everybody. Praise the Lord. Father, we thank you again for every gift and every giver. Give it back to them. Give them their money back a thousand times times more. In Jesus' name, amen. Hallelujah! Glory to God! Yeah, yeah, we gotta go, we gotta go. But Apostle Asia, I just heard this: that thing you text me about, God said he's gonna open a door where you really won't need that connection. That connection is not necessary. God said he's going to give you favor without it. And God said what you've been feeling is right, and you've been kind to even entertain it, but God said no, I want to do this for you and you alone, and he's going to get all the glory out of it, says the Lord. Somebody give God praise, please. Yeah, thank you, Lord. Hallelujah. All right, we going home, y'all. Just a few announcements. Mario, put the announcement up for me. I think it was just one. You could take the music down, cuz if that stay on, uh, might just go somewhere else. Glory to God. Thank you, thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. All right, uh, you still have time. And watch this, I expect, uh, First Lady, she's, she's very prophetic, so she'd be talking to me about stuff God's saying. And she was saying some people, including some of our leaders, have purpose in their heart. She believed that they're not going on the cruise. The devil is a liar. You need to be on this boat. Okay, whether you're in here or out there, I need you on this boat, okay? Because there's something gonna happen on this boat that's gonna be so phenomenal. There are people that think they're just going on vacation in September, but because we're there, our presence is going to make a huge difference on this ship. We ain't making no money off this. So, and I, you know, we even picked up some people think we're making a prop. No, this is how much the cruise cost. We're not making a profit. This is going to Royal Caribbean. Are y'all hearing me? We could have upped it and made a profit like some ministries do. We didn't. We want you to go. It's $200 per cat.

Cabin.

Put your time in, Brother Lamont, for your vacation now. All right, tell them folk at Amazon you're going on a cruise, and y'all call him and reserve your cabin. It's $200 for one cabin, $100 per person. Team up with somebody and y'all get a cabin, all right? And you got time to pay on it starting now, okay? Okay, we've been announcing this since last year, so the more you delay, the closer you get to having the cost of $937. Somebody said, I'm waiting on the apostle to give out the next free cruise. I'm telling you, it ain't gonna be you. It ain't gonna be you. So just go on. I'm just telling— I'm prophesying, right?

There's nobody in here.

Okay. So go on and get your cabin, because I'm telling you, it's going to be a blessing. Uh, God's going to meet us in a really great way. And again, for the people on the boat, I want y'all to be able to witness that. I'm telling you, hear me, I said it today, the 11th day of January, it's gonna be people get saved on this boat, it's gonna be people get healed on this boat. You need to be on there so you could be a part of this move of God. So So we, we're calling it Dominion at Sea for a reason. We going to take over the ship. Amen. Glory to God. So get, get your, uh, time in on that and get that done. Second thing, at the end of the month— let me pull up my calendar. I don't have a slide for that, but I'm going to give you the days just in case you don't have them. Glory to God. I'm, and I'm going to need y'all to start getting excited when we having meetings. That's the culture of this church. We don't bring people in to raise money. We don't bring people in— we bring people in because we want to expose you, number one, to other gifts. Number two, we want to expose people out there to our house. So the— and we're Apostolic Kingdom Hub, so we want people to come together around these meetings. So I want y'all to get excited about these meetings. So, um, January 30th, 31st, and February 1st. We are hosting what are we— we are calling Freedom Fest. So 3— in 3 days we're gonna have 5 services: Friday night, Saturday morning, Saturday night, Sunday morning, Sunday night. Don't get discouraged. I just talked about place. Whenever God puts his name on the place, you should come thither to the place. I told y'all about the binge watching earlier, right? I'm just gonna remind you of the preaching Okay, so if you can sit there and watch a season of Blacklist, that's 22 episodes.

You know how long you're in front of TV?

22 hours before you know it. Y'all looking at me crazy, but folk have done that. I'm just asking you to come see the Lord.

He gonna be here.

We're working on confirming speakers, uh, but it's gonna be great. So as soon as we get all the speakers, we're gonna start getting this out, but it'll be here before you know it. So get your mind right. I need y'all in church. Amen. And starting on February 1st through February 8th, we will have a 7-day fast. We're not going to start the year with 21. This time we're doing 7 days. We're going to pray at 5 AM every morning and 12 noon every day. We'll be online with those, so make sure you connect during the fast. We'll have a fast focus, it's going to be around freedom. So we're going to be praying about different aspects of freedom every day, and we're going to receive something for God. Amen. And then on February 8th, we're going to have our First Fruits Sunday. Which means we're going to have a Sunday where you get to bring your first fruits to the Lord. Amen. We— and this is important, it's scriptural, so we're going to do it and we're going to obey. And I'm going to do a teaching probably when I get out of this Freedom and Power, and we're going to talk about first fruits so you can understand what that means. But just know the Bible said the first fruit of all your increase belong to God. And so we're going to be asking you to either bring one day salary, what you making a whole day, what you making a whole month, what you making a whole year if you want to. Just depend on the level you want to be blessed. Are y'all hearing this? I'm just trying to prepare your mind now to bring a whole month of salary. Somebody said, oh Apostle, that's a lot. But whatsoever you sow, that Sherry, see, once you plant like that, it becomes easy every other time. And that because when you get harvest back, your seed is proportionate to the harvest. Your harvest is proportionate to the seed. So if you, if you give at, let's say, a $2,000 level, that's how your harvest come back, in those multiples. All right, y'all got me? Okay, so we're gonna teach about it, and I know some of y'all not gonna like that much, but it's okay, okay? Because people don't like to talk about when they have to part with things, but it's necessary, man. I'm telling—

I want y'all blessed for real.

Yeah, matter of fact, I think I'm gonna touch it next week because the next part of freedom and power is you got to understand not only place people presence, but you got to understand prosper. That's important to freedom. All right, it's in my notes, I just didn't hit it today. Okay, so we'll talk about it next week. All right, y'all good? Y'all sure? Amen. It was a good day. Amen. All right, y'all stand. First Lady, you got anything before we go? Lord, I managed to get y'all out of here before 2:00. Clock today. Glory to God. Y'all ought to thank God for that. But y'all notice we did that because Holy Spirit just took over in the beginning and we didn't have no work. The worship team didn't come up, so y'all blame them when we get out late. Praise God. No, I'm kidding. But God is good. And Happy New Year to y'all that I ain't seen. Amen. Stephanie, it's good to see you today. You and Jackson, good. Y'all are part of this family, and, uh, we're so glad that you are. Amen. Y'all give them a hand. Thank God for our visitors in the back. God bless y'all. I seen y'all before though. Y'all been here before, right? So y'all not first time, but y'all give them a hand for being here today. Amen. So glad to see all of you in the house. Yesterday we had a, I believe, a successful new members orientation. I believe y'all got an understanding of what this church is about, and so thank you for your time.

Amen.

Amen. All right, Lady Felicia, come on, you say the final word today and dismiss us. Come on.

Better be glad I love him.

I don't like to be put on the spot. Quiet person. I just thank God we had a wonderful time. Like he said, Happy New Year to everybody. We gonna start this year off running. And Prophetess Greta said, "He's back." But you know, on a serious tip, and I understand that, but every day is— God shows me things, and it's just been really something that's been on my heart though, because because I look at life and just when people pass away, I don't see death the way I used to see death. So when I see death now, it, it like pushes me to every day. And this is something I work, I strive for every day that that's my last breath. And we are living in a time now where plan is out out. I mean, we really don't have not this much space to play. If it's anything, any spot, any wrinkle, any anything that you know that's hindering your walk, you need to get it right because people are going to sleep. And that's— it just hit me, one of my, one of my laborers at my other church wasn't sick at church the Sunday before, and this has happened a couple of And God began to show me this week because it was like, wait, did you hear about Sister Cobb? I'm like, no, her husband went to wake her up and she didn't wake up. And I say, God, if you come and I'm asleep, I don't want all of these years of coming to church to be something I just did because I was playing. I could have just stayed on out there. I never really been out there, but if I was one of them kind I would have just played hard while I was out there. But I don't want every day that I wake up and I profess salvation, I profess that I know Jesus, I profess that he's the Lord of my life, and then I go to sleep, and when I wake up and I stand before him and he say, I don't even know you. That, that's, that's a hard thing to have to swallow. But it's going to be a whole lot of folk that's walking holy, so they say hallelujah, but they ain't living what they say they living. And you can get by with people, but you can't fool God. And when you stand before him, the truth gonna be told. And it's just like, this thing has been hitting me so, because I said, Lord, I don't want to be one of them people that has spent my whole life— I didn't, I didn't, I never was really out there, so I've been in the way all my life. And I'm 60 years old, and I would hate to stand before him and have wasted 60 years of playing. This ain't— it ain't no time to play. They said it way back then, oh, God is on his way back. It's for real, it's for real. And people are leaving here every day. It used to be the old people, but the young folk, they leaving. They leaving quicker than the older people. But time— I'm telling you, it's time now to stop playing. It's time to be about God's business. We don't have time to sit down and hold our hands. All that's over with. It's, it's done. What is, is what is. What he say is what he said. What he said he meant. And we need to be about our Father's business. So in 2026, we make all these— like he said, we go to the gym, but make a commitment. The Lord For God I live, for God I die. I'm not here to play. It is timeout. If people get stepped on, they feet get hurt, they— oh, you done said something to hurt my feelings. Suck it up, suck it up, because if you want to see Jesus, it's going to be a whole lot of folk going to step on you. You going to get a whole lot of stuff told you you don't like, but you should take correction, and you take correction as a learning tool. Because we don't have to be one of those people that get corrected and we are mad. And that's how most church folk do. I'm gonna leave. And where you going? You're taking yourself with you. So wherever you go, you're gonna do the same thing over there if you don't get it right. So I'm just saying, stop playing, because it's timeout for playing. And we really do— I mean, I enjoy— I'm one of them. I'm comic. I play all the time. I'm, I'm— I keep you laughing. But when I'm doing the things of God, and I'm so serious about this, I'm so serious, and he has put this on me so heavy. Every day, all during the day, I'm, Lord, I thank you. Lord, that's my prayer. Lord, I don't even— I don't ask him for nothing. I just say, I thank you, because I'm breathing and I'm walking, and I know who I am. I know where I was a year ago. So where I am today, when I can walk and say— it's been— and I just realized this, I just realized this— it's been 3 weeks. Because I was taking Tylenol like Skittles. It's been 3 weeks. I haven't taken one Tylenol. And I got the notes and I said, well, I'm gonna try my business at this shoe I said, 'Cause I can't get all my shoes to Asia.' And I put it on, I said, 'Okay, I can walk a little bit.' But every step, every little thing that God does for me, I thank him for it. So if I get chastised— and I get chastised, I don't— I'm not, I'm not exempt from none of this that y'all get. I probably get it worse because I'm in the house with him, but I suck it up. I stop and I go to my place between stimulus and response. So I don't respond too quickly because it might be something I shouldn't say. But I live that. But I want you all to really just in your time by yourself, just think about where you are and what's in your life that might be a hindrance. And is that hindrance worth hell? Think about it. If you like hot heat, me, well, you keep on. But I myself like to be cool. But it's gonna come a place and a time when we gonna have to really buckle down and say, God, I don't care if ain't nobody going but me. I don't care if the church don't get to be 1,000, but I want to be in the number if it ain't for 10. So I'm so thankful and I'm grateful. Hallelujah for today. I'm glad that God is bringing us people that see the vision that we have. I told Apostle years ago, I said, they coming, they coming, because we've had all kind that really didn't see the vision. They were just here for, uh-huh. But I'm so glad that he's sending families. And we prayed for men, we prayed for whole families. We didn't just— we had a church of women, a mess. We said, Lord, send us some people that see where we're going. See what we are trying to do. We ain't taking nothing from nobody. Don't nobody pay no bills for us. He don't take no offering, so don't feel like, oh, I'm giving the money. No, no, no, because all these people that come in, they get paid. When it don't come in from you guys, it comes from him. So I'm just saying, I'm just saying, let's be about God's business. Let's take an introspective of ourselves. Ourselves and see where we're coming up slack and pull it up. And if something is said that you might not sit too well with, just take it out of love and say, Lord, show me. Because he'll show it to you if you want to. If you want to see it, he'll show it to you. Some folks scared to ask him because they'd be, uh, what, me? Yeah, he'll show it to you, lay it all out, but you got to be willing to take it. And turn it around. But that's my spiel. Hallelujah for today, my spiel for the year. Be who you are, be where you are, and be where you are, what you're doing. Let it be what God is calling for us to do. That's— we ain't here but for one reason, not for nothing else. We only here for one reason, and that's to live a life. Because when he come back, he's only looking for one people, and that's holiness. That's it. All this, all these different denominations— he ain't looking for no denominations. I'm in the Free Will Baptist Church, I'm in the, I'm in the cult— he ain't looking for none of that. He said it ain't holiness. That's all it is, just holiness, straight holiness. And that's what I want to be, and I strive for that. And I'm excited, like I said, I'm glad that we do have the members that we had that came on into the fold hold, and we gonna take this and we go running. And when we get over there to Roddell City, we ain't seen nothing yet. When we get to Roddell City, that's what it's going to be called, Roddell City. You're gonna pull up on the city of Roddell. Hallelujah! And I thank God for that. We gonna bow our heads and I'm gonna be quiet, and then we gonna dismiss. Lord, I thank you right now, Father God, in the mighty name of Jesus. Lord, I thank you for the day that this is the day that you have made, and I will rejoice and be glad it. Lord, I thank you because it is in you that I live, that I move, and that I have my being. And without you, I can do no thing. So Lord, I thank you for the word that came forth on today. God, I thank you for the praise and the worship, God, that came forth today. God, let it have been a sweet savor in your nostrils. God, I ask right now, Father God, in the name of Jesus, that you touch each and every person that's here today, even those that online. Lord, if there be any sick among us, I ask for your healing power God, move by your power and by your spirit. God, move self out of the way. And Lord, as we begin to go into the next week, God, let us be mindful, God, that it is you, God, that is the Creator, God, and we only live for the audience of one. So Lord, I ask you to keep us, God, as we leave. Give us traveling mercy. Let us find things at home the way they were before we left. If it's disruption, God, let us walk into peace in the mighty name of Jesus. Meet every need, every— let it be no calamities, God. I ask you to give us traveling mercies wherever we're going, God. Even when we go to eat, God, those that don't believe in saying grace, Lord, bless their food. Hallelujah. In the mighty name of Jesus, God, take out any impurities that's not like you. And Lord, we'll be so careful. Lord, I thank you for the apostle of this house, my husband. Lord, I thank you for the mantle that you have set upon him. Lord, I thank you for every word that you give him that he gives us, God. Lord, I ask you to let it fall on good ground in the mighty name of Jesus. Everything that he desires, God, I pray right now in the mighty name of Jesus that you give it to him, God. Everywhere that he seek— let him possess that land in the mighty name of Jesus. And Lord, I thank you for his diligence, God. I thank you for his ability, God, to do what he do, God, so effortless, Lord. But we know it's because of you. So, Lord, I ask you to be upon him, God. Touch his life, God. Keep his body well. Keep him whole, God, so that he can continue to do the work that you have given him to do. And we'll be so careful to give you all the praise and the honor. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Amen.
