The Power of Mastership, Part 1 | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr.

Well, grace and peace everyone today from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is Dr. Mike Woods, and hello and welcome to Sunday night. Listen, I am super excited to be in your face tonight. I hope that you've had a great day. I hope that you're anticipating a supernatural week filled with supernatural power, supernatural purpose, supernatural provision. And allowing the kingdom of God to actually superimpose itself on your life. Listen, don't go anywhere, don't scroll, stay right here with me tonight. This is going to be a blessing. Listen, I am excited to teach. Uh, we started teaching something last week entitled The Forces of the Gentiles, and we're going to continue that today. We're going to start building a process on how to actually get these forces into our life. The Bible says it, uh, very few people are experiencing this transfer, but we want to begin to talk about how we actually manifest and get this into our world and into our life. So if you're just joining us, again, please do not share. Listen, if your heart is beating, man, it's an indicator that your purpose is still necessary. There is still hope. I don't care how bad it looks. I don't care what things life has dealt you. Listen, guys, honestly, if your heart has got a palpitation, you still have an opportunity to fulfill purpose. That means God still needs you because you're still in the earth. Listen, take a look at this video, uh, that was put together about this series. And once that is done, I will be back and we're going to jump right into the heart of this lesson tonight. We're talking tonight about the forces of the Gentiles. God bless you. Arise, shine, for your light has come and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. In a time when the world seems dark, Isaiah 60 speaks of a divine shift. Shift shift where the light of God's glory not only rises upon his people but also draws the wealth, the influence, and the forces of the nations to those who walk in his covenant. But what exactly are these forces? They're not just material wealth. They're the resources, creativity, and influence of the nations being transferred for the advancement of God's kingdom on earth. Join me, Dr. Mike Woods, in this powerful new series, The Forces of the Gentiles. Discover how God's prophetic word is being fulfilled today and how you can align yourself with his divine plan to receive the forces of the nations. This series is an extension of our 10 Days of Supernatural Provision We trust God, our supernatural provider, to provide all we need. Follow us on social media and connect to this powerful prophetic journey. Well, yes indeed, God has set us up. Really, we're in the earth to operate at a high level of— watch this— dominance, authority, and power. And the world should honestly, family, be looking up to us. I'm gonna say that again. The world system should be looking up to the system of the kingdom of God. The problem with this, the kingdom of God has not been taught or presented in a way You know, in, in a lot of ways, you know, my late mentor and spiritual father, Dr. Miles Monroe, uh, taught very avidly on the kingdom. His books taught us so much about the kingdom. But the reality is, so much those things that Dr. Monroe was teaching was really ahead of his time. Uh, people didn't have the capacity to process it because the spirit of religion was blocking a lot of it. But what God is calling for really in this hour is for there to be a real expression, and not just in-depth teachings, it's to be an expression in our everyday life of what the kingdom looks like, so that people will run to Jesus. Hallelujah! As an authority— hear me— in their lives, and not lean to their own understanding, their own systems, their own culture. Because it's one thing to go to church and go through the motions but never show up in the world and never— watch this— have the respect of the earth. And that's really the only way the forces of the Gentiles will be transferred. So guys, if you're here, you just joined us, please share this. This is going to be an awesome teaching tonight. Share with someone, uh, they need to be blessed just like you. So please obey the instructions on the screen and share this teaching right now. Glory to God. Well, let's jump into this. We're going to pray. Glory to God. And then we're going to jump right let's pray. Father, in Jesus' mighty name, yes God, we thank you for your goodness, we thank you for your mercy, we thank you for your grace, we thank you for your loving kindness, we thank you for your favor, and we thank you God that beside you there is no other. It's in you we live, it's in you we move, it's in you we have our being. God, today we thank you for the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Ghost. And Father, I ask you in the name of Jesus, God, that you would move by your power through this teaching. Allow your word to superimpose itself upon every person that is watching even today. And Father, I give you praise that the kingdom will be advanced and that out of this teaching even there will emerge an application that will create masters. In kingdom things, and we give you glory, honor, and praise for it. In the name of Jesus Christ our King, we do pray. Amen and amen. Oh my God, I love you guys tonight. I pray, glory to God, that you are well again, and I'm excited to teach, man. I'm gonna jump into this. So last week we started this thing, um, from Isaiah 60 and, uh, we start laying a backdrop to this, glory to God, teaching on the forces of the Gentiles. We're going to be talking about this all month. And so before we really get into depth as to, again, what those forces are and how, glory to the name of God, it came about in principle that these things should be transferred to us, I really want to build some solid foundation on actual— because once we get into Isaiah 60, I want us to really be walking in a place where we can sweatlessly, uh, be positioned for real to receive this. I don't want this just to be another good text, another good scripture. I want believers to actually experience this. There's a huge challenge in the earth, family. Where we must now, like never before, show up in the world in a way that when people go to choose cultures that they'll submit to, behaviors that they'll submit to— watch this— ways of living that they'll submit to, that the God choice is a dominant and prominent choice before their eyes. And watch this, it's appealing, it's attractive because they actually can see what this choice is doing for you outside of church attendance. I, I need you to grab that today. People don't need to just see another society of religious people who are calling on the name of Jesus. They need to see a culture and society of people where the name of Jesus is actually showing up up and helping them. And the name of— and I'm telling you, I'm a witness that he will show up. He'll transform your mind, your body, your spirit, your finances. I'm a witness. Glory to God. He'll take you and make you a brand new person. Oh my God, the devil is a liar. I command you tonight to receive the fullness of your salvation. Glory to So, so tonight I want to kind of lay a foundation about mastership, uh, because in order to receive these forces of the Gentiles— matter of fact, let's go really quick, let's go quick, uh, to Isaiah 60 real quick, because I can't tarry here. I'm really tempted not to turn here, but the Holy Spirit is leading me. Because I'm not my own, I gotta obey him and turn here. So I'm going, all right, I'm going. But I know this could be, uh, highly dangerous. Glory to God. Because at the end of the day, this, this text is loaded with information that, you know, the Holy Spirit has given us to share with you. And I don't want to share prematurely, so I'm going to kind of give you what he's giving me right now to give you. So last week we talked about Arise, Shine, the Light Has Come, and the Glory of the Lord Has Risen Upon Me. We kind of unpacked what that was. If you didn't listen to that message, uh, please go back and listen to it. We kind of got into how darkness covers the earth, gross darkness the people, and the Lord shall arise and his glory shall be seen. So here again, I want you to see that the forces of Gentiles come into our life so that the glory of God can be seen. Listen, let me tell you something, man. You— it's not enough. Hear me, I'm just going to say it like this: for you to worship God, speak in tongues, spit, blow bubbles, rolling the floor, we cast out devils, we prophesy, we lay hands, we get people healed— and again, I'm not against any of that. I do all of that. I've been prophesying, operating in gifts for 40 years, 40 whole years. That means since I was 15, I prophesied the first time when I was 15 years old. The reality is I believe in it. Here's what I don't believe in: that we have all of that going on inside of the church and none of that translates outwardly to how we live and show up in the world outside of the church. That, my friends, I got a problem with it. And I got a problem with it because God has a problem with it. Because you know what? I have said for years, and I have seen, you know, growing up in the church I've seen people dance and give their life to God and serve God and go through all of the motions of church, but then I watch them suffer financially. I watch them suffer through sickness and disease. I watch them suffer in their marriages. I watch them suffer from job to job and losing jobs and just going through all kind of things because they were not taught— hear me— how to actually implement the things that pertain to the kingdom for real in their life and show up in a real world and become an example on how God can actually make a difference in your life. So tonight I want to give you something that will help us understand, because in verse 3 in Isaiah 60:3, it says, and the Gentiles shall come to your light So when they see it, the Gentiles, those who are not born again— hear me, glory to God— will come to your light, and the kings to the brightness of your rising. So those in municipality, those in the marketplace, those who are outside of covenant with God who are carrying wealth, they're going to come to your light. See, this is just— we got to get this part of society to Jesus. You know, we can't just trust a lot of broken words from politicians. We need some politicians who are saved for real, not just Black, not just white. We need Holy Ghost-filled, purpose-assigned, destiny-carrying politicians to occupy the White House, to occupy the governor's house, to occupy mayoral seats. We need— because all we have now is a bunch of lying back and forth, a lot of bickering. And it's not just with these two candidates now, it's been that way. But I'm right in this season of the world, it is important that the church emerge and there be a light that emanates from us that people again will want to embrace who we are and what We carry. Just rub your belly and say, I'm carrying something. Touch your belly and say, the kingdom is in me. Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Come on, touch your belly again and say, the kingdom is in me. I need you to grab that. The kingdom of God is in you. We got to get it out of us so that the world can experience it. We're going to talk about that today. How does that start? How do we do it? Glory to the name of God. And we read, glory to God, and I'm just going to read it for context. Praise God. Hallelujah. I'm going to read it for context. In verse 5, it says, then you shall see and flow together. So when we see that, we'll eliminate competition, basically, when we see, glory to God, that everybody is carrying this blessing. I don't have a need to compete with another preacher or another business person because I know what I'm carrying. See, when you know what's in you, it eliminates the desire to compete with other people. Um, I heard a preacher said this one time at one of my birthday celebrations, and I highly disagreed with him when he was up talking. Uh, it sounded good in theory. And he got up and talked about how he has watched me over the years and how he's seen the hand of God on my life and all of these good things. And he said, you know, preachers have this— and I quote— he said, preachers have these, uh, silent, unspoken competitions with each other where, you know, we want to see one another make it, but also we want to do just as good, as better as the next person. Person, you know. Well, I feel like he might have been transparent about his own issue in watching me. The reality is that's not my story. I, I don't look at another man, another woman, and what they're doing and get caught up in comparisonitis, which is a disease, which is sin. Oh, come on, comparisonitis is sin, because when you start measuring yourself by yourself or measure yourself by Uh, another, the Apostle Paul says that you are mistaken and you have literally come short of God's glory. That's it. Glory to God. The reality is I know who I am, so I have no need to measure myself or compete with others. The reality is when we see that we all carry something valuable, there is no competition. We're on the same team. We're trying to defeat the same devil. We're trying to destroy the same enemy. Watch this. We're trying to take back the same earth and dominate it. He said, thou shalt see and flow together. We could flow together because I know your value, you know my value. We're not competing. We, we operate in congruency and we're going for, for the glory of God. He said, when you do this, he said, when, when you see and flow together, your heart shall fear and be enlarged because of the abundance of the sea shall be converted to thee. So the abundance of the sea, the wealth, the rich— that's commerce, that's exchange, that's imports and exports, boats riding on the sea. That's what this is indicative of in the, in the King James idea. God is saying this, this abundance of wealth is going to be transferred to you. Are y'all not hearing me? He says it's going to be converted to you, and the forces of the Gentiles shall come to you. And we, we broken down, shall yield the forces, which is the strength, the might, the efficiency, the wealth, and the military protection. Oh my God, shall come to thee the forces of people that don't know God. At one time We were out of covenant with God. We didn't know him. We were Gentiles. But I'm telling you, the, the amount of wealth in this world is massively controlled by Gentile men. Glory to God, it is. And the reality is we got to position ourselves where this wealth can be converted to us, and we're going to talk about how that happens. You got to That's why I always talk about positioning yourself in marketplace, in the municipality, which is government marketplace, which is where products are bought and sold. So we got to show up in the marketplace with presence and dominance, which means we can't just be a part of the marketplace workforce. We got to be part of the people in the marketplace that control things, that master things. We got to dominate. And then we got to have municipality. We got to have those who are called to government to show up in earthly government. I mean, in the control government through the lens of heaven. Y'all ain't got to hear this, but I'm telling you, I'm telling you, this is where we need to be. Our mind is somewhere else, and I'm telling you, our mind needs to be locked in and focused. Hear me on taking over. We didn't show up in the mill. The mill is where products are manufactured and innovated and ideas are curated and brought to life. We need to show up in ministry. Glory to God! Where ministry can experience the power of God and heaven can be superimposed on earth. So there has to be a balance of all those four areas, and we got to show up as masters, guys, so that the forces of the Gentiles can come to us. Do you realize the Gentiles that control the wealth— here it is— they're masters. They're, they're masters in those areas that I just talked about. They're masters in the mill, they're masters in municipality, they're masters in the marketplace. Watch this, they're religious masters in ministry. And we as kingdom people got to show up with presence and dominance. See, because it's really the intrinsic— I'm talking about the intrinsic interest and desire of Abba that we for real become kingdom masters. Just rub your belly and say, I'm a master. And because of what's in us, this mastership, you just said it out your belly, that's in you. Glory to God. Satan has waged war against us, and what he wants is for God's church— hear me— to stay stuck. He wants God's church to stay still. He wants God's church to back away. He wants God's church to back down. And anyone who's pursuing excellence or mastership there is a fight— hear me— that is greater than those that are not. See, a lot of times things come really easy and there's no warfare connected to those who are only pursuing their own agenda. There's no need for a king to war against a kingdom— watch this— that's not a threat to his kingdom. Them. Oh God. So I need to— I need to open you up to something right there. Your personal plans, your personal desire, your personal dreams that are detached from God's dream for you— hear me— they are no threat to the enemy. Oh my God. Oh my God. Today he is not threatened, so he don't fight him. And why it works so easy But the enemy sends interference and he starts working demonically or against anything and trying to oppose anything that is aligned with God's agenda and any person that is seriously approaching dominance and mastership. Oh my God. And we just have to learn how to do warfare God's way. Warfare God's way is staying in obedience to him and allowing him to fight. Glory to God, because he can fight better than you any day, and he will fight for your cause when you are pursuing his cause. So the reality is God is demanding us in this hour, as we, as we swiftly move toward this shift in power in America, in this inaugural season, it's going to shift not only the White House but in various places around the country, power shifts will happen. The reality is, as we approach these times of power shifts in the natural, there must be, uh, significant power shifts— hear me, guys— in the realm of the spirit. And the Spirit of the Lord began to speak to me. He says, I, I must raise up masters in this hour who will no longer be secluded in their own way of thinking and doing. But he said, Michael, I need you to tell my people— yeah, I hear you, God— that I need masters who will enlarge their mind, enlarge their spirit. He says, tell them to be enlarged, tell them to be enlarged, to be enlarged in their thinking, in their doing, in their faith. And as they enlarge their capacity I will fill their volume with everything that pertains to me. Listen, this world doesn't need powerless, crusty, stale, stinking— oh my God— dry religious buffoonery. It doesn't need a church that's so encapsulated with its own self that it doesn't understand the necessity to superimpose what God has given them to the Earth. I got to get out of here tonight, guys. So if we are to show, like we just read in Isaiah 60, the world the glorious light of the right? If we're to show the world the glorious light of the kingdom, we have to deal with the opposite of a master. And the opposite of a master is a novice. Whew! A novice is one who is not qualified. A novice is one that operates in comfort. A novice is one whose comfort zone is consistently consistent. A novice is one who is constantly reaching externally for what they cannot internally handle. Oh, that was good. It. You are a novice if your external reach is greater than your internal capacity. Masters expand their capacity to an unlimited place in God, and then they reach for things— watch this— that only God can handle, because they operate from a different dimension. They live from a different realm. Oh my God, I gotta go. So if we're going to show the world this glorious light, the 3 things, guys, that we must do with the novice— the novice, and that may be possibly you now, and it's okay if it's you, you know, that's not derogatory, that just means you got to become a master, right? So the first thing we got to do, the novice must admit that they are novice. Yeah, here we go. Because we got a lot of people out here, man. You could scroll your timeline for an hour and 95% of it is going to be people posting and saying things who are novice. They're operating in their own agenda. Their external reach is greater than their internal capacity. Their comfort zone is a place of consistency. They're more preoccupied with the past than they are the future, and they're operating in performance mode versus pleasure mode. But in order to raise up masters— and I know, I know everybody won't get this— one thing I know for sure, novice you're gonna have with you always because it takes discipline It takes time with God. It takes submission to authority. That's why we talked about apostolic ministry last week, in order to emerge and mature from the place of being a novice. And which means you got to fall out of love with yourself and know that there's some empty things in you that need to be filled. I was talking to my wife last night about a situation that I find myself in You know, and, uh, I've always been one who is a learner. I need to learn, I need to grow, you know. And for those that I call leader, you know, you need to be in a position to disseminate wisdom and knowledge and give me things that don't come from your flesh. But because I'm hungry, I, I need you to have a prayer life. And when I watch you— and I was talking to her about it— well, you know, I'm just watching and I'm seeing, you know, all I see is running behind celebrities. All I see is, you know, trying to be like someone else. And all I see is a person that really don't understand who they are because they've been fighting an identity that they built inside of someone else for so long and now trying to find themselves And I was saying, you know, not that they're a bad person. And I'm— and I said, you know, I'm just standing still in this situation because God— hear me— because God has me standing still. He won't let me walk away. The reality is I want to walk away because I'm hungry and I know I got to eat. So I find myself, you know, eating in other ways. My time in prayer, I spend a lot of time in the Holy Spirit, so I eat a lot. But I find myself leaning on other things, other books, But if you should be able to grow and matriculate— okay, I, okay, maybe I probably already said too much, but the reality is I really don't care. That's just my— that's where I'm at, you know. You have to be clear about what God is saying and not just operating on what he said, otherwise you're a novice. A novice can't teach a master. I mean, and if, if you think the thing that makes you a master is a bunch of people sitting in front of you, a bunch of people following you, you have really missed it. Because at the end of the day, if you're not making an impact outside of those people, oh my God. And I'm talking about for real, where you're showing up in the world and you're deploying the people sitting in front of you to make an impact. Something is tremendous. I'd rather have 50 people that I've deployed into the earth. Watch this. Or like Jesus, 12 that I'm deploying to do the kingdom assignment and that are changing lives. Oh my God. Woo! And the world is different because they're alive. Glory to God. And we're turning worlds upside down for Christ. Okay, yeah, so the novice has to admit, but some of these people are never admitted because they're too deep, that they've, they've drunk their own Kool-Aid. They, they've sold themselves a bill of goods, but they got to admit. Secondly, they got to take the position of a learner. You, you got to find yourself in the position of a learner. The only way you're going to matriculate from novice to master, you got to take the position of a learner. Watch this. Learners are leaders. Leaders are learners. Learners rule the world. Glory to God. You have to choose to learn. Can I submit to you tonight with your anointed self? The Bible says we will be ever learning and coming into the knowledge of truth. You know what it says? You don't know everything, and you can learn something from every person around you. Glory to God. And if you will stop trying to know people after the flesh— the Bible says henceforth now we should not know one another after the flesh, but by the Spirit. We don't know Christ after the flesh anymore. We know him after the spirit. And this is how we should handle each other. Hear this, 2 Corinthians 5. You want to check it? You want to fact-check it? Glory to God. 2 Corinthians 5. We should not be trying to know one another by likes and clicks and size of buildings. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. Glory. We should be knowing one another after the spirit. It. And if you listen, it's a dangerous thing when you have someone in your midst and you ain't spent enough time to know who they are and what they bring to the table for you, and they walk away before you're able to receive it because you were too dumb to get on your face and, ooh, hear God. Okay, yeah, I'm gonna keep moving. Oh my God. And thirdly, so you got to admit you're a novice. Secondly, you got to take the position of learner. And then thirdly, you got to deliberately and strategically become an agent— hear this, oh my God— of change, an agent of influence. You cannot bring about change, you cannot bring about influence if you're not a master. Michael Woods, how Do I become a master? Let's talk about it. Let's get a working definition of mastership. Let's start right here. A master means to exercise mastery. It means to exercise dominance. A master is a person with the ability or power— watch this— to use, control, or dispose of something. Watch this, without opposition. So when you're a master, you're exercising mastery and dominance. So you are a dominant— oh, factor in your area of purpose and influence, and you have learned how to exercise that with full authority, and you understand that as a master you cannot be stopped. Oh, I need you to rub your belly tonight and say, as a master, glory to God, I am— oh, shantide bing sia, rushku shabaya se. Yeah, God, rub your belly and say, as a master, I cannot be stopped. Glory to God. I'm telling you, you're unstoppable. You just type it in the comments tonight, guys. I I am unstoppable because I'm a master. You need to begin to speak that out of your mouth every single day until you see mastership emerge, because you're exercising. Just, you know, when you're walking, you're exercising your ability to walk. Watch this. You can stop walking and sit down whenever you want. You can speed up, you can slow down. You could— you control the walk because you mastered walking. Ah, when you— so some of you can look at areas where that you master, you do it seamlessly, you do it without opposition. There's nothing that could stop you from getting that done because you're a master in that area. Oh boy, God is looking for some kingdom masters. Watch this, that the enemy won't even oppose. Because he understands he has no chance of winning. Because watch this, Masters, Masters always win. Oh God, oh glory! Hear this, hear this. There's a tournament in golf called the Masters. The best golfers in the world are invited to this tournament. After the first 2 rounds, they have what is called a cut where only 30 players get to play for the trophy. At the end of the tournament, there's only one man standing. That's the master. Usually— watch this— in history, it's always the guy that's been dominant in the field in other tournaments leading up up to the Masters because he's in a momentum that has caused him to become a master. So he goes into the Masters Tournament with a master's mentality. Oh my God. And most of the time, that master that wins the Masters also wins the Tour Championship. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I mean, it's from Tiger to Rory to Scottie Scheffler, who's the best golfer in the world right now. They have won in the field, and Scottie Scheffler won the FedEx Cup, the Tour Championship, and the Masters this year. Here's the question, guys: do you want to be mediocre, or do you want to be a master? Do you want to operate in mediocrity and at the surface level of the things of God, or do you want to arise in mastership as a dominant factor. You have a scriptural right to this. It's God's mandate to you and I as humans. Genesis 1:28, the Bible says, then God blessed them. The word blessed means to have an in— makarios— there it means to have an indwelt quality of deity. So when God blessed them with his mouth, he released inside of mankind an indwelt quality of deity. Deity is a— oh my God— supremacy. It's mastership. It's a God-type character. It's royalty. Amashia. Just touch your belly, say, I am blessed. Oh God, I feel like running, y'all, for real. Touch your belly, say, I am blessed. Glory to God. I'm blessed. I'm blessed. I'm blessed in the city. I'm blessed in the field. I'm blessed when I come. I'm blessed when I go home. I am blessed. Glory to God. I'm blessed when I get up in the morning. I'm blessed when I lay down at night. I'm blessed when they're talking about me. I'm blessed when they lie on me. I'm blessed when I'm under attack. I'm blessed. Glory to God. Shambati lebekoso torabakaya. I need somebody to shout it. I am blessed. Yeah, blessed, blessed. Robasan talabakia. Blessed when I come, blessed when I go. You're blessed with deity, with royalty. I need you to know what you're saying. I ain't talking about cars and houses. That's a, that's a by-factor. And money, that's just a benefit of having deity in you. Oh God, that's a very funny movie. Uh, crazy movie, uh, called Bruce Almighty. Old movie with Jim Carrey. Uh, Morgan Freeman plays God. He imparts to Jim Carrey the ability to be God. Instead of Jim Carrey taking on omnipresent, omnipotent, omniscient type duties and making sure the world is functioning better, the first thing he does is uses his godlike abilities to take care of himself and to correct some wrongs in his life. Can I tell you something? Oh, God is in us to change the world, to advance his kingdom, to show up. And when we do that, the other stuff is just added. He says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. So his way of doing and being right, that's Matthew 6:33. He says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness. And all these things will be added unto you. The word seek there is Greek. In Greek, it's zeteio. It is zeteio, which means to pursue hard after with uninterrupted focus, to go after it without your focus being broken. Good God, today. Oh God, he said, if you do that and my right, my diasune, my way of operating my system of doing things. Well, God's system is dominance, it's dominion, it's authority. He's the King of the Earth, he's the King of the World. His way of doing things, glory to God, is rulership. Not second-class citizens, not low on the totem pole, not employees but de-ployees that own everything and are paymasters. Come on, we, we change the temperament of the earth when we accept the role of dominance. Genesis 1:28, let's read. And God blessed them and said to them— so whenever God speaks a thing, watch this, it becomes law because he's a king. So when the king decrees the thing out of their mouth, it is enacted as law. So God blessed them and said, be fruitful. Be fruitful and multiply, fill the earth and subdue it. So fruitful and then multiply— what? The fruit that comes out. So you cannot bear fruit if there is no seed. So, so the seed that was sown was sown in the blessing. When God blessed them, he opened his mouth and there was a seed that was— oh my God— of deity that was planted inside of their humanity that activated. Woo! And God says, now I need you to go from my presence and be fruitful. Not bear fruit, be fruitful. So he, he, he— now Adam has to plant seed for all of the fruit and all of the vegetables and all the things he's responsible for cultivating the earth, but also inside of us There's a dominion seed that we got to bring forth, and we got to keep multiplying it and teaching others how to do it, and multiplying it and teaching others how to do it. He said, be fruitful, multiply. Watch this. And then he says, fill the earth. So once we fill the earth, glory to God, which is to replenish, to make it full with abundant heavenly things, he said, then subdue it. It. Watch this. This word subdue in Hebrew, you can look it up, it means to enslave. It's not talking about slavery like black people, not just— no, no, it's talking about causing the world to choose God's system over their normal way of thinking. It's a shift in mindset that causes them to become a prisoner for Christ, like Paul said, that causes them to become subdued. Oh my God, and influenced by the ways of God in a way. Glory to God. Well, they know he's the master and that they too are masters of— oh my God— of purpose and destiny, and that they're called to release it in the earth. I got to get out of here. He said, and have dominion Rada in Hebrew, be in charge. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Rule it. Hallelujah. Take authority. Master it. Glory to God. Master the fish of the sea. Master the birds of the air. Master every living thing that moves on the earth. Touch yourself. Say, I'm all that. Whoo! Touch your belly. Say, I'm all that. Say, I am a master. And dominion works in me and through me. Goodness, that's why we need the forces of the Gentiles, because nothing can be established without wealth. So mastership is achieved— here we go— through a process, guys, of measuring, all right, managing, and mastering. So the first thing I have to do is get measured. Okay, so somebody said, well, Apostle, you need to show a scripture on that. I will be glad to. I will be glad to, because it's important that you understand why you need to be measured. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Touch your belly, say, I need to be measured. Glory to of God. 2 Corinthians 10:13, let's read it. The Apostle Paul says, but we will not boast of the things with or without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. So Paul is articulating to the Corinthians clearly, we have a measure in us, one that we will not overstep that measure who God has made us to be. He says we're not going to boast of anything outside of who God made us. Oh boy, you gotta be who God created you to be. Stop trying to boast of things that you're not. The word measure here is metron, or a metros, I'm sorry, in Greek, and it means unlimited measure. Glory to God. It means, watch this, the state of God as imposed on humanity. This is what makes you unlimited. This is what makes you unlimited in the area you're called to function in. It's the measure of mastership that was put in you before you got to earth. Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God. Verse 14 says, for we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you, for we come as far to you as you also in preaching the gospel of Christ. Glory to God. Let me keep reading. Verse 15, he says, not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labors. In other words, so I'm not going to even worry about somebody else's labors or try to be like them. Here we go, there it is, people trying to chase names and popularity and measuring themselves by them Paul says we're not going to do that. He said, but this is what we're going to do: we have hope when your faith in— has increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our metron abundantly. Wait a minute, so when I present what's in me to the world and my measure is honest— say that with me, say honest measure. Which means you're operating in the measure and the weight that God has ordained you to operating in. A false measure always creates stagnation. Oh, I feel like running, man. I, I can't run, but because I got to stay right here in front of this camera. But oh, a false measure. So you wonder why you're stagnant, why you're stuck. You're not basing who you are on who God says you are. So two things: you need someone else in your life. That's why we talked about apostleship, because when you show up in real apostles' life, you cannot disdain this office from the church. The apostle is necessary to the church. All apostles are not dead. That is a lie. That is false teaching. That was a preacher that didn't study all the way through. There are the 12 apostles of the Lamb, but then there are reformative apostles that are born out of Ephesians 4. Glory to God. That are in the earth today to carry the government of God and create a measurement for the people of God in the This is why you need real apostles. This is why it's so important that we don't run around making people apostles that's really not apostles. Lord knows I watched a ton of that garbage for the last several years. People just putting this title on people who are not called to the office. Listen, I would give this thing back if I could. I've been in apostleship since 2005. My spiritual father, Apostle Donald Graham, affirmed me. Glory to God. At that time, and I thank God that he saw that in me. Glory to God. I learned so much about apostleship from him. He's one of the most authentic apostles I know. Now, with that said, you need to understand somebody other than you need to be saying you are who you are. You need to be measured. Glory to God. And it needs to confirm what God has said to you in you. And then after you get measured, you need management. That's development, that's learning. And through management and development, you get deployed as a master in your area of purpose, and it comes through alignment with apostolic ministry. The moment you deploy yourself without apostolic agreement and apostolic alignment, you're setting yourself up for failure. I'mma say that again. The moment you deploy yourself without apostolic agreement and apostolic alignment, you're setting yourself up for failure. The moment you detach yourself from authority that was assigned to your life, you're setting yourself up for failure. Can you still be saved? Yes. Can you still go to heaven? Yes. Can you still effectively fulfill your purpose? No, because there was a plan that God had in place for you to be connected in the right culture, for you to get what you— listen, you cannot change your natural mama and daddy. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. Nothing. So you can't change your natural apostolic fathers and mothers. I, I don't get it. I— well, God told me my season was up with you. No, you just didn't have the ability to endure and go through what you needed to go through to get to the next place. Glory. And that's why you were in running in place so long, because you left prematurely. Oh my God. Okay, we don't like that kind of teaching. What— so let's talk real quick, and I'm gonna be out of here, man. So mastership, we understand that, that we, we needed to get a working definition. Secondly, and I'm not going to finish this today, I know, glory to God, but let's, let's walk through these really quickly because I want to show you what kingdom order and operations look like in— as it relates to, uh, mastership. Glory to God. Because you got to understand, mastership has to operate in the confines or the constructs of kingdom order. All right, so the kingdom of God is his authority, it's his rule. Again, it's his kingdom, it's the king's domain. Glory to God. And that domain is in us, and every person has a part of the kingdom oh my God in them, in purpose, that should be manifested. And when we bring the pieces up together, we can not only have regional dominance, county dominance, street dominance, we actually have world dominance where we're subduing because every person is coming forth with their key. Watch this. Jesus said to Peter, I give you the keys to the kingdom. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven. Whatever you— oh my God— unlock on earth will be unlocked in heaven. Well, a lot of things in the earth— hear me, guys, watch this revelation— are still locked. A lot of doors are still closed. A lot of places we're not ruling in is because the keys— oh my God— that Jesus gave to the church What we did, instead of keeping those keys on the same key ring, you took your key off and you've been running around trying to unlock doors that you don't have the key to. Oh my God, with your little key that can only open one thing or a few things that God has assigned you to. So in order for us to really dominate and subdue Every key on the key ring. Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God. Has to now find the lock that's assigned to his key so we can have access to stock markets, access to government, access to annuities, access to billions, access to hospitals. Y'all ain't got to talk to me. Access to Fortune 500 companies. You're talking about the forces coming. We got to get keys to open the door so the forces can get through. They've been trying to get the wealth, the might, the efficiency, and the strength to us, but some idiot has taken the key off somewhere else. Oh my God, I got to get out of here, man. So let's talk about this kingdom order and how it operates. So first thing, first thing, I'm gonna give you— oh my God— 3 ways that the kingdom operates. The first way the kingdom operates: through humility. We will never have masters emerge if everybody's arrogant. Arrogance leads to aloneness. Arrogance is pride. It means you think you're better than everyone else. It means you have cornered the market on the revelation. It means you operate in warlockry and control, and you try to control everybody with your gifts, with your mantle. The devil is a liar. Arrogant people end up alone. Nobody wants to follow an arrogant idiot. Y'all ain't got to say nothing to me. Glory to God, I prayed before I got on here. I promise you, nobody wants to follow that. Paul said, if they be ignorant, let them be ignorant. Nobody wants to follow someone who is ignorant. Who are ignorantly caught up in themselves. Glory to God. Arrogance leads to aloneness. And watch this: purpose cannot be fulfilled in isolation. So you cannot fulfill the purpose of the kingdom alone. Aloneness leads to abortion. So when you're by yourself because you struggle now to fulfill what God said— I got to get out of here, guys— you end up aborting the original plan. Oh wee! And then now that abortion leads to adventurism because you don't have the support, you don't have the people, you don't have the vision clear, you're not enthused about the vision anymore. So now you start taking these adventures into areas that you weren't even called to be in. You run around with your key trying to unlock doors that that key won't open. Oh, y'all ain't got to talk to me. And then ultimately, that adventurism turns into adultery. So arrogance to aloneness, aloneness to adventurism, adventurism to abortion, abortion to adultery. Adultery is not just sexual unfaithfulness to a married person. Adultery, it means to be satisfied. Hear me, adultery means to be satisfied. Let me let you hear it clearly. Adultery means to be satisfied by something that's not authentically yours. So that could be somebody else's wife, that could be a job you ain't called to work. Oh boy, and you get satisfied. It could be a church you ain't called to start, it could be a ministry you're operating in because you want to be like everybody else, or because somebody told you that was your ministry and it really is not you. You're in adultery. Adultery had nothing to do with sex. God called Israel an adulterous nation because they became satisfied by gods that wasn't him. So when you get satisfied poor and broke and second class and playing second fiddle, you're in adultery. You may have never cheated on your wife or your husband, but when you get satisfied with low living, low giving— y'all ain't got to say nothing— you're in adultery, my friend. You are an adulterous nation. Watch this. And if you're always looking for signs, you're an adulterer, because the Bible says an adulterous generation that seeks a sign. Oh boy, you always— you looking for somebody to fall out and roll on the floor and you say, oh, God is here because that happened. No, that's— you're looking for a sign that God is real. You discover the realness of God in relationship and through function in the world. When you're faithful to the assignment, you don't need a sign. Signs follow you and come through you when you need to be used. Ah, I got to get out of here, man. Go to James 4, verse 6. Let me give you some text. The kingdom operates through humility. He said, but he gives more grace. Therefore, it says, God opposes the proud, gives grace to the humble. Submit yourself therefore to God, resist the devil. And he will flee from you. Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Be wretched and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt— in other words, stop paying attention to all this crazy stuff in arrogance, looking at what's going on around you, trying to fix it yourself. He said, humble yourself before God's system, his way of doing things, his kingdom. Acknowledge that he's Lord and become a producer and not a consumer. See, many times we consume the things that are attacking us. We consume it, we become a part of it. Well, you need to be a producer. Glory to God. It's just like in the, uh, oh my God, the GDP, the Global Distribution of Products. People of color, or people of minority ethnicities, are consumers, and the producers of products are the people— oh my God— who are the multi-millionaires and billionaires and the corporations that's selling the stuff. We spend more money than anybody and create less than anybody when we have the Creator living in us. But you got to stop being a consumer of everything and start producing something. Produce. Instead of consuming that problem you're facing, produce the results. Oh my God. Oh my God. Instead of accepting your money problems, produce the money you need to solve it. Okay, I gotta go. Secondly, the kingdom— so the kingdom operates through humility. Say humility. Secondly, because I could teach that all day, the kingdom operates through holiness. Yeah, okay. So, hallelujah. You can't be a part of a holy kingdom and a holy nation. The Bible said we are peculiar people, a holy nation, right? And not be holy. Holy, hagios in Greek, which means you're separated, you're pure. It means purity, chastity, clean. You choose— it's a, it's a way of life that you choose to live. Is God's grace sufficient for us? Yes, but holiness has to become a choice. Hear me, that you choose every day. Sin is always out there trying to tempt you, and there, there'll be days you have fallen into it, whether by omission or commission. There's some sins you committed you didn't know you committed. That's why you should have an open life of repentance. But when you wake up in the morning, you should be seeking to mortify the members of your flesh and practice holiness. Again, it's purity, chastity. This is why people don't have manifestations of God's power in their life because their life is impure. You can't run around here being a fornicator, a whoremonger, a lesbian, a homosexual, a liar, practicing sin, and think that you're gonna host the anointing. You can't do it. So if you're going to operate in the kingdom and experience the resources and benefits of the kingdom, You got to choose holiness. Yes, his grace is sufficient, but the Bible says we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteousness— righteous, that if we sin, we got an advocate. If, if, if. So while on the way of practicing holiness, I end up making a mistake or doing something that causes me to miss the mark, Are y'all hearing me? I gotta advocate. Grace is not a license for you to go out here and live like a devil. It's not. You got to choose holiness daily. Choose— say that with me. Say, I choose holiness daily. Let me read the scripture. Go with it. 2 Chronicles 31:18, so y'all don't think I'm crazy. And to the genealogy of their little ones, their children, their wives, and their sons and their daughters, through all the congregation. This— in other words, nobody's left out. Everybody. For in their set office, they sanctified themselves in holiness. God's not going to make you live holy. Are y'all hearing this? You got to choose it yourself. Let's look at Leviticus 10:9-10. Watch this. Do not drink wine nor strong drink. I'm not going to even touch that because we got a lot of wine drinking, liquor drinking preachers, big, big preachers too, who be all on the internet talking about how— with their red cup talking about how it's all right to drink. I saw one preacher, God bless his soul, God bless his soul, and I pray for him all the time because he's right here in my city. I'm not going to call his name because I'm, I'm trying to do better through my wife's counsel with that. But at the end of the day, I'm interceding for this brother because I don't want to see anyone get tripped up and fall. Because again, arrogance leads to aloneness. And when you so arrogantly believe you can just do what you want to do because you've amassed a certain amount of people I mean, you're setting yourself up for destruction. There's a way that seems right, the end of that way is death. This preacher sitting up with a red cup on the live, people coming, and somebody asked, well, what's in the red cup? He said, don't worry about what's in that cup, drink what I want to drink. The reality is, man, we can't do that. We got to be held to a standard of holy, because guess what? You could cause other people to stumble doing that. So if you out and everybody else got a glass of wine on the table You, you need to order some water, glory to God, or some Sprite or some Coke. Y'all not saying nothing to me. And Coca-Cola, not Coke, glory to God, because you got preachers do that crap too. So basically it says here, do not drink wine nor strong drink. Because back to what God showed me about that preacher, and then I'm gonna get to this. This guy is sick in his body for real, and I'm believing God for healing. He don't think nobody know, but he's already got the diagnosis of some things that's going on. He's very unhealthy, and I'm trusting God that he will change his lifestyle so he can live, so his voice can continue to be heard. Yeah, I'm almost— I'm a lot— I'm gonna stop there right there. We done lost one big preacher in Atlanta behind, uh, sin. Glory to God, we don't need another one. Glory to God. So I, I'm, I'm trusting God that, that he will be healed. Matter of fact, I declare his body whole now in the name of Jesus. Glory to God. And I hear, I hear you saying, well, Pastor, they ain't going to never invite you because you talk like that. I don't care. I'm not trying to preach for these guys, man. I— that's not I'm way past that. Oh my God, I'm so past that. Oh God, I've been, I've been out here full time for 35 years, for real though. Some of these, some of these dudes were in Pampers when I started doing revivals. I ain't studying that crap. I'm trying to change the world, glory to God. I'm trying to produce a people and leaders in the marketplace and in ministry that'll literally change the world. So get that out your head, man. Nobody think about that. Anyway, do not drink wine nor strong drink, thou nor thy sons with thee when you go into the tabernacle of the congregation. You would be amazed to know the preachers and the singers that take drinks and smoke weed before they go in to do worship. Something's wrong with that. Something's wrong with that. I've had to call musicians to the carpet. They come into the church smelling like weed, like thought they was going to play. No, you're not playing here today. Glory to God. How you gonna take us into the presence and you smell like weed? That's a problem. Glory to God. Okay, okay. He said, if you do this, lest you die, it shall be a statue forever throughout your generations. So it just wasn't for them. It said throughout the generations of the priesthood, throughout the generations of people who are saved, this— we have to stop having this mixture between kingdom authority, kingdom blessing, and sin. How are we going to get the forces of the Gentiles when we're just like them? Oh God. Yeah, y'all thought I forgot about that. No, which— this is a part of that message. You got to be in kingdom order. You can't get it. Oh boy. He said it shall be a statue forever throughout your generation. And watch this, that you may put difference between holy and unholy, between that which is clean and that which is unclean. You and I have to make the difference. They have to see the difference in us. We cannot entice or influence the world in presence and dominance and mastery to come to God and follow his way if we're doing the exact same things they are doing. I'm gonna pray in a moment. I got one more point. Stay with me. God, I love you. I got to get out of here, man. Oh boy, here's the last one. So the kingdom operates in humility. Say humility. The kingdom operates through holiness. Say holiness. And thirdly, I want to give you this: the kingdom operates through habitation. So humility and holiness open up the door for you to host the King. He's pure, he's holy. You cannot be a habitation for a holy God if your life is consistently impure. Okay, you, you'll never convince me, and neither will you convince God of this, that you host the presence of God and you're a man that's married to another man and you live with this man and have sex with this man every day, every— or whenever you do, but you won't tell me you're a pastor, a bishop, a preacher, and you host the presence of God. You could be saved and you could be repenting, I'll give you that, but you ain't hosting a holy God in the midst of your sin. And I'll be to die in that condition. I'm not just gonna pick on you. You could be a man married to a woman, but you got a chick on the side that you consistently sleeping with, traveling with, spending time with, going to dinner with, on the phone with. Y'all ain't got to talk to me here. Glory to God, you can repent and God will forgive you. Yes. But you cannot host him. Somebody said, Michael, how do you say that? Because the Bible says God cannot dwell in an unclean temple. You ain't clean. Your temple is not clean. Your body is not under subjection. Paul said, I can preach to others, but if I don't bring my body under I myself will become a castaway. So what they did was they start— so they can justify these sins, they took hell out the Bible for them. So, okay, well, it just ain't no hell, so we can keep being gay, we can keep being hoes, we can keep being adulterers, we can keep being lesbians. The devil is a liar. Come on, church, the devil is a whole lie, and his grandmama. Amen. Glory to God. You cannot host the presence of God living any kind of way. And that's why some of you are stuck, and some of these things that you're believing God for and praying for is not working. That's why you see no real power in your ministry or in your business or in your place in society, because you are mixing The presence of God with pleasure. I got to get out of here, man. The kingdom operates through habitation. Yes, it does. Yes, it does. See, here's how— here's my take on it. I got to calm down and quit. We can only develop— listen to me. Proper attitudes and appreciation for the things that are vital to kingdom operations and kingdom living. Listen, when we have a real perspective of how we are made— see, people that live like that and don't have no remorse and no conviction and could just live in sin. And, and listen, some of these crazy bloggers, and, and they'll pick this up and say I'm being mean. Please make a viral meme out of this. Please help get this word get out. Please do it. Because at the end of the day, God is a holy God, and I don't care who you are and what you say. Hallelujah! You don't get a right to excuse sin. That's why you have no real power. That's why you operate in warlockry and witchcraft and familiar spirits. I don't have time. Another message for another day. But Psalm 139:14, it says we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Oh my God, I wish I can break that down. Ah. Ah, I wish I had time. Y'all give me a few moments, give me a few moments. I know we got to go. Psalm 139. Oh my God, says we are fearfully— does that mean God is afraid of us? No ma'am, no sir, it doesn't mean that. It means that while God was making you, he was revering what he was creating because he was weaving in the tapestry of who you Lord have mercy. And in your DNA, watch this, the blessing he spoke in Genesis 1:28, I read it already. He, because he was putting himself deity, so he— and wherever there's God, there has to be worship. So as he was making you, he was worshiping himself inside of your DNA. Oh my God, wherever there's God There has to be worship. You are fearfully, fearfully— as a matter of fact, that word fearfully is yare, y-a-r-e. Yare is how it's pronounced. It means that when God was making you, he stood in awe of you. He revered himself in you. He had a clarity of what you would become perfectly aligned with him, and he was in awe with it. Watch this. This is the same awe the world will have when who you really are emerges and comes to the surface and they see it. They will not be in awe of you. They'll be in awe of what God has done through you. I got to get out of your bed. He says we're fearfully and wonderfully made. He says, wonderfully— oh God, this word is powerful. It's akin to Yahweh, but it's Yahuah, which means, oh my God, you were created with the best parts, the parts that would cause one to wonder when beheld. So when people see the real you, it'll make them wonder, how in the world did that happen? How did they come out of that and get to that? How did they— they— I'm telling you, they're gonna look at me and say, how did Michael Woods go from zero to a billion? How did he go from debt to debt-free? Oh, rabba sianda tabaya. Listen, you, you got to know who you are. And how did he go from a Fortune— oh my God— 7,000 company to a Fortune 100 company in his businesses? Oh, shi makaya! Because you are a wonder. I am a wonder. And he's gonna make them wonder how you got so blessed. Single ladies, keep living holy. Keep allowing him to inhabit who you are. He— in a moment, you're going to get a husband, and they're going to look at you and wonder how you get that husband that's so blessed, that loves you so much. How did you become so happy? He's going to make the world wonder, not just— not for your sake, but for his glory. He fearfully and wonderfully made you. It says, marvelous are thy works, and that my soul knoweth right well. So the psalmist said, look, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made, and I know it. I know this is why I am who I am. David said, I'm a bad man because I'm fearfully and wonderfully made by God, and it's for his glory. Oh, just rub your belly and say, I'm a master. Say, I'm fearfully and wonderfully made. And say, I am a habitation for the master. And because of that, whoosh, I am a master. Oh God, you ought to clap your hands and praise him. I'm almost done. So anything— what? Hear me, according to this text— that is so carefully and wonderfully cared for and made, hallelujah, It has to be because God knew that if he was going to inhabit it, or if we were going to be his habitat where he is presented to the Earth— oh my God, it had to be one had to be wonderful. It had to be awesome. And we must understand that in order for the earth to experience this, we got to be consistent at being God's habitation. See, maintaining a consistent continuity of exposure to the presence of the Lord— hear this— is essential for our well-being. That's why you don't need to be in no dead church. That's why you don't need to skip days of prayer and worship, because your habitation needs exposure. That's why you need to live holy, so God can dwell with you and strive with you. Oh my God, Moses said it like this in Exodus 20:24, and I'm done. He says, an altar of earth you shall make for me. That's our body. This is the altar earth. And you shall sacrifice it— we're going to talk about sacrifice Thursday, stay with me— on your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your oxen, in every place I record my name. Oh my God, I will come to you and I will bless you. So he says sacrifice. Paul said it like this: present your body a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Moses is saying, everywhere you go, sacrifice it. Let yourself be an offering. Give up what you want. Give up what you desire. Then he goes on to tell you, God says, I want to record my name on your life. Hallelujah. He said, when I hear my name— so you record something for the purpose of playing it back. So you, when you record Jesus' name in your identity, When you press record and record Jehovah Jireh, my supernatural provider. When you record Jehovah Rapha, my healer. When you record Jehovah Rohi, my shepherd. When you record Jehovah Makkaddish, my righteousness. Jehovah Tzidkenu, my sanctifier. When you record his name, he said, whenever I hear my name, I'll come to you and bless you. You. So when you get up against a situation, press play. And you need a right to press play because you are a habitation, and play his name back to him. He said the promise is, I'm coming, I'm gonna respond to the altar you've built of sacrifice. Let's pray, man. I'm done. Father, in Jesus' name, oh my God, I thank you for this word tonight, and I pray, God, that someone has been blessed, someone has been touched. I pray for your deliverance tonight. I pray, God, that your power would superimpose itself upon us. God, let your word go forth in a way that it heals. God, you sent your word and it healed us. So I thank you that as we have listened tonight, we're healed, we're whole. You stitch together our finances, our body, our mind, I thank you that we're well mentally, physically, spiritually, financially. I declare it in the name of Jesus, and we thank you, God, that we are masters. In Jesus' name, amen and amen. God bless your hearts tonight. Perhaps you've been with us the whole time and you've been watching this and you are not born again. Listen, I want to give you an opportunity to give your life to God. The Bible says if you confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus died and he rose again, it says you shall be saved. Acts 2:38 says repent and be baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and be filled with the Holy Ghost and you shall be saved. Listen, Tonight I just want you to repent. I want you to open your heart up and believe, and I believe God will come in and he'll save you. Listen, if you want to confess, if you, you know your business is not straight, you know you got sin in your life, whether you're saint or sinner, and you've heard this message, you said, God, I want to get it right. I know I've sinned against you. I know if I died right now, I would not make it in. I need you to repent with me right now. Say this, say, in the name of Jesus. Say, Father, I repent of my sin. Say, in Jesus' name, I ask you to come in my heart and live in me. Say, I believe that you died and rose again. Say, in Jesus' name, I declare I am saved. If you said that prayer with me, you are born again right now. Listen, and I want to take you through the rest of the process. I want to show you how to be baptized.
