THE POWER OF VISION, PART ONE: VISION & PURPOSE | DR. MIKE WOODS, SR. | 10 MAY 2026 | RADAH CHURCH

In this live‑streamed Radah Church service, Dr. Mike Woods Sr. (Michael Lyris Woods) leads a high‑energy, prophetic worship experience centered on vision, purpose, and breakthrough. The service weaves together Scripture‑based teaching, spontaneous prophecy, and congregational response. Key moments include: (1) repeated prophetic declarations that attendees will experience increased prosperity, business breakthroughs, and personal transformation; (2) a call for nightly prayer, confession, and speaking in tongues to receive the Holy Ghost; (3) a celebratory Mother’s Day segment that honors mothers with roses, prayers, and testimonies; (4) a financial appeal for a new church building at 3060 Boulder Crest Road, including a $100,000 down‑payment goal and a promise of rapid loan repayment; (5) announcements of upcoming leadership training (lion‑level leadership), a fast‑and‑prayer schedule, regional conferences, and a new book release titled The Apostolic Dimension: Unlocking God’s Blueprint for Dominion; (6) personal prophetic words given to individuals about future joy, reconciliation, and divine provision; and (7) logistical details for future events (Mississippi conference, Charlotte women’s conference, June 7th service cancellation). The overall tone is enthusiastic, persuasive, and celebratory, aiming to mobilize the congregation toward vision‑aligned action, giving, and spiritual growth.

I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord. We got several out today, but it's okay. Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers. Y'all give yourself a hand. We're going to take a moment at the end and honor our mothers. Um, like I said, a lot of people out— my mom ain't even here. She text and said she was at a women's retreat, so okay. And I text back, you need to get your priorities straight. And that's my mama. You in the wrong place. You should be at church. But I pray it helps her.
Glory to God.
Whatever she trying to get.
Hallelujah.
Y'all good today?
Amen.
Glory to God.
Hallelujah.
This morning—
and this is not a Mother's Day message, sorry, but we're gonna share with us, say the Lord. Amen. It's important that we start talking about vision. Somebody say vision. Because of where God is taking us, um, We gotta buy in not only to the vision of the church, but the vision for our personal lives. The vision for your personal life is what creates provision.
A lot of times we lack provision because we don't have vision from God.
And so we want to talk about getting clear vision this morning so that your life can mean something.
Amen.
Hallelujah.
Um, I'm excited because God has trusted us with vision. Amen. And we're going to see in a moment, you know, there are some people that, you know, they just live by sight and not vision, and that's no way to live.
Glory to God. So this morning we're talking about purpose and vision.
I want to welcome our live audience.
Glory to God. Y'all give God praise for them.
Thank God. Hallelujah.
For those of you that are watching us, we're streaming to 3 Facebook pages, YouTube this morning. So wherever you're watching, welcome. Stay with us. Glory to God. I promise, uh, this message will be life-changing.
All right, let's just jump into this.
Um, glory to God. Let's first get a working definition, and we're gonna put some scripture in here as we go.
A vision Somebody say vision. Say purpose.
Glory to God.
So here's, here we go. Vision is from the Hebrew word, and it's up there if you want to write it down, qazón, and it is prophetic perception. Say that with me. Say prophetic perception. It's revelation. It's the ability to dream. Or an oracle. Watch this, that's beyond this realm. So you can receive a word from another world that formulates vision in your life. Now let me, let me just help for a moment. It doesn't even have to be God that speaks. Because the spirit realm is real. So a familiar spirit can speak to you. A devil can speak to you. Someone who has no authority to speak into your life can speak to you. Are y'all hearing this? And you can begin to formulate that as vision, as a way of life. And then you start living like that and your life is stuck. Are y'all hearing this? But I'm telling you right now, every person in this room— and we're going to learn this in a moment— you were created with a vision from God for your life. Vision is also to perceptively see. To see with perception, to perceive, watch this, with purpose. To see things as God sees them. Gentlemen, if you could take monitor 1 down some, that'd be good.
That's where that big bass is coming from.
Say, I wanna see my life.
I wanna see it.
Come on, say it.
And myself.
And myself.
The way God sees me.
The way God sees me. Because a lot of time, Prophet, what people have done, we have formulated how we live based on other people's perception or their vision of us. Growing up, your daddy said, you ain't gonna never be nothing, you're just so sorry, no good. And you accepted that as a word curse, okay? And then now you, you don't even realize it, subconsciously You're walking out your life through a word curse that was spoken over your life, and that's not the will of God. Are y'all here? All right, let's go, Mario. Next slide. I want them to see this. So sight then is a matter of the eyes. Vision is a matter of the heart. Everybody in here can see with their eyes. It's a physical apparatus where if you got sight, you can see what's in front of you. Are y'all hearing this? But everybody doesn't have vision because vision is a matter of the heart. Not the heart that's 6 inches below your collarbone, but the heart, which is the kardia in Greek. And the cardia is where we get words like cardiovascular, which lends to your heart. Oh, I know how to do this. Listen, so stay with me.
Glory to God.
Don't get it twisted. I know what I'm doing. The reality is, um, there is a heart in the second dimension of the spirit. Glory to the name of God, that God speaks to us in the invisible realm. And it's not this thing that beats. Matter of fact, can I tell you that heart in the second dimension of your lifespan is He's the one that causes the physical heart to beat.
Never—
you think you're living on your own. You are not. You are alive because you are a trichotomy. Your body, your soul, your spirit. Now, your body— watch this— it is lifeless without soul and spirit. There are the things in the invisible realm are what make the things in the physical scene realm exist. Watch this. The spirit— wow, God— is what gives you life. Oh God, it's the pneuma. It's the God-breathed life in you.
Watch this.
Whether you're saved or not, God is responsible for your breath. He lets you live because you have purpose. He lets you live because he still has plans for you. And then what he does, he creates an invisible heart, which again is the cardia, it's the soul, it's the mind, the will, the emotions. It's where you taste, it's where you touch. Watch this, your ability to feel something comes from an invisible place. Oh God, it's not from some— because watch this, when you die, it's not because your body just stopped, it's because your soul and spirit left. And it has no more source to function from. And so vision now has to come through the heart, has to come through the soul. God in the spirit speaks to your heart, and then you begin to see it with your physical eyes. I gave this example last week. I could take your brain out of your head That brain is a body part, but you cannot see your thoughts.
Come on, come on.
If you come up with that, you automatically a billionaire. If you find out how to see your thoughts, you need to put it in a bottle and settle it so people can see their thoughts. You can't see them, they're invisible, but they're there. The brain is only a house for where your thoughts live. Your body is a house for where God's will is carried out and his vision is carried out. It's invisible, so we have to tap into the invisible realm. Are y'all hearing this? So sight is a matter of eyes, vision is a matter of heart. Now here's the tragedy. Next slide. Here's the tragedy right here. The most tragic and pathetic thing on earth is to have sight and no vision. Okay, and this is most of the world. Most people can see, but they have no vision that comes from another world.
And we're going to talk about how to get that today.
So let's get some quick facts here about vision. Glory to God. First thing Vision is a source of hope and life. Say that with me. Say, vision is a source of hope and life. When people start saying they're giving up and they don't want to do it anymore and they're suicidal, they're depressed, it's because they have no vision. Because vision will always give you hope for the future. Watch this, it'll always give you assurance that the way it is right now is not the way it's going to be. It always gives you the assurance that something more is available for me. Say that, women. Say again. Say, vision is a source of hope and life. Number 2, write it down. Vision makes disappointment and suffering bearable. So when you get disappointed or something hits your life, if you got a vision, you understand what hit your life is temporary. You understand, glory to God, that that thing won't be that way always. Matter of fact, let me just preach to somebody right here. Wherever you are right now, I want to tell you, it won't be that way always. What gives you the ability to get through it is a vision that things are going to get better, that I'm not going to be stuck in this place. The reason people can't bear suffering, because they have no prophetic utterance or revelation or vision for the future. Number 3, vision. Oh boy, here we go. Inspires work. See, if you don't have a vision, you're not going to work because you have nothing to look forward to. You're not going to buy into something bigger than your circumstance. Most lazy people lack vision. Let me tell you something, every person has an equal playing field in the world. You and I have the same amount of time every day. My success may be different than yours, but many a time the common denominator is how I work versus how you work, or how— or not even me, the next person. Glory to the net. Work is the common denominator to all vision manifesting. As a matter of fact, only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Yes, success started S. Okay, yeah, some of y'all. Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You didn't have to go to Harvard to know that one.
Third grade, yeah, probably before third.
Glory to God. Listen, say, vision inspires work. All right, next one. We're gonna get through these. Vision energizes your faith. It tells you, I can believe in what I cannot see. Watch this. Faith is a substance of things hoped for, Hebrews 11:1, and the evidence of things not seen. Watch this. Not seeing with your natural eyes. But when you tap into vision, your faith now can believe that God is going to bring to pass what your physical eyes cannot tangibly behold. Oh God, let me tell you what energizes my faith to keep going and do what God— we got this contract on this million-dollar building, my faith is energized. I don't look at what's going on in here. Y'all ain't got to say nothing. I've seen what God sees.
Are y'all with me? I know what God said.
And so my faith is to trust him to do his part to bring— watch this— his vision to pass. Say that with me. Say, vision energizes faith. All right, number 5: vision is God's optimal reality for your future.
Oh boy, take a picture of that slide, write it down or something, because you're going to want to remember that. Optimal reality for your future.
Notice the operative word here. It's God's optimal reality. So I want to dismiss something for— because this is introduction, before we really get in the meat of this. Vision has nothing to do with what you personally want. Vision says, I give you life, you fulfill my purpose. God says, I'm gonna let you live, you do what I say. Now there's some people that's gonna totally reject that, but your life stays hard.
Are y'all hearing this?
There's some people that will resist that, but your life stays stuck. Hey Tiffany, listen, vision creates God's reality for the world to see. See, when God gives you vision, now the world can see his plan working through you. And you have to be willing to let him get the glory out of your life like this, because vision is not about us, it's about him. Oh my God, listen, there are things I know I want to do But I have to not do them because they don't align with purpose and vision. So this means that vision then becomes a source of personal hope and discipline. So when I hope in what God says for me, I discipline myself to bring it to pass.
Go to Proverbs 19:21. Let's go.
We'll start right there, then we'll go to it. Inside of each human, there's a vision that is designed by God to give life purpose and meaning.
Say that with me.
Say, I got reason. Say, my life means something. You know why it does? Because inside of your design is purpose and meaning. There's a unique, authentic you. You are different than anybody else. That's why you shouldn't waste your time trying to be somebody else, trying to act like someone else, trying to sound like someone else. Trying to copy someone else. You got to find your own flavor, your own swag, your own spice, your own life.
You know what? Because the world needs you.
Oh God, they don't need a cheap copy of somebody else. Say that with me. Say, my life has meaning. You were born with it. I want y'all to grab this this morning because we can't— that's why this is the first part of this series. We can't really tap into God's vision until we understand the meaning for our life. Go to Proverbs 19:21. I'm—
it's—
that's the King James up there, but I'm gonna read it out of NIV. It says, there are many plans in a man's heart. Nevertheless, the purpose of the Lord, that shall stand. So let me tell you something, everybody in here has a lot of plans. There it is. And, and it's so true, there are a lot of things we can do and want to do. Are y'all hearing this? Watch it, there's a lot of things we got abilities to do, but doesn't mean we should be doing it, because according to this, the only thing that works is the purpose of the Lord. So that's why we can be going in circles trying to get something done and it doesn't work. And we'll be praying for God's assistance on it, and God says, 'No, I can't assist you with that because that never was me.' God have mercy.
It ain't that God don't hear you, it just ain't aligned with his plan.
Oh boy, here we go. Because the purpose of God stands. This is why you see people start stuff And they fail because maybe there wasn't purpose there. Or they'll marry someone and they end up in divorce.
Purpose.
That's why you should marry for purpose, uh, not for hips, tips, fingertips. You should marry for purpose. 'Cause they can be fine as wine, fine as Beyoncé. You only got to— somebody say, 'Hi, why he say that?' Because that's the truth. The reality, that's the truth.
Come on, man.
My wife know that's the truth. My eyes work. Y'all, you're hearing this? I'm saved, but my eyes work.
Okay, yeah, y'all say okay, or this—
what, where, where am I at?
This is church.
Yeah, this, this just keeping it 100. I mean, I ain't lusting, but I see. But what you have to do is get vision and learn to slip past the body and get in the heart and the purpose. 'Cause you can have someone fine and then they end up like Lorena Bobbitt. Oh, y'all not talking. Somebody on this— okay, I bet he wish he would have slipped past out of case. Okay, you need to marry for a purpose, someone that— I don't even know why I'm here— someone that complements who you are. So I think I need to help you understand purpose for a moment. So number one, write this down. This ain't even in the notes. Write it down. Purpose is the original intent for the creation of a thing. It's why it was created. So you and I was created by God for an original, authentic intent. Say that with me. Say, purpose is the original intent for the creation of a thing, of me, of my life. So here we go. God has an original version of you. Say, I am original. Say, "I'm authentic." Now, that's why you have to spend time with your manufacturer. So you can understand what he created. Most of the time we become other versions of what his version is. Because we have not talked to him. Because remember, nevertheless, the purpose of the Lord stands, not my purpose, of the Lord stands. So I need to talk to the Lord about why I'm here so I can get clarity. So you won't live another version of who you are. That's called perversion. Perversion ain't just man on man, woman on woman. Perversion is to create another version of the authentic. Now, man on man is perverted, woman on woman is perverted, but when you're living a life as another person You're also perverted. They got this thing out now called Ozempic, and it's supposed to curb your appetite, help you lose weight. Not against it. If that's what you're doing, that's what you're doing. Right, but I got a problem when there are people on spiritual Ozempic. Listen to this, where your appetite for the things of God and his presence and his word is being curved because you're tapping into a familiar dimension that makes you comfortable with a version of yourself. Oh my God, that God did not ordain. Are y'all hearing this? You gotta, you gotta unplug from that dimension that's curbing your appetite for God and his plan. If you're losing hunger for the things of God, you'll never know your purpose. Are y'all hearing this? Watch this. You're made on purpose with a purpose. Say that with me. Say, I'm made on purpose with purpose. Jeremiah 1:5. I don't have it, Mario, but it says this: Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. I gave you purpose. I gave you a plan. I gave an order and a structure to your life before you got in your mama's belly. So can I submit to you this morning, you're not a mistake. There's no oops. You're not junk. You're not a flop. You're supposed to be here. Are y'all hearing this? Touch yourself, say, I'm supposed to be here. Most humans, for real, have no idea what their purpose is, and because of this, they abuse their lives. Because where purpose is not known, abuse is inevitable. If you don't know the purpose of something, you're going to abuse it. That's called abnormal use. That's abuse. Abuse. Abnormal use. You start using your life outside of the will of God. And I'm not just— again, I'm not just talking about sin as we think. I'm talking about living a life. You can be the most morally perfect person and still in sin because you're not walking out purpose. Oh, because sin is from the Greek word hermēsia, which means to miss the mark. Last one about this and we're gonna move. Your purpose is never your decision, it's your discovery.
Okay, let me work on that a minute.
You don't get to decide purpose, it's the purpose of the Lord. Oh yeah, are you hearing this? You discover what he already decided. Yeah, see, you won't discover that if you don't seek him. It's in his mind. If you listen, I, I— so when I first bought a flat TV a long time ago I had no idea how to make this thing work, right? Going from fat-back TV, growing up with a TV with antennas and aluminum foil on the end. Y'all remember that? Times change. Went from fat-back to flat. Put the plasma up, turn it on, screen was blue. Wasn't no rabbit ears in the box. So I'm saying, how to get this thing to work?
Holy Spirit said, pick up the manual.
The manufacturer sent a manual. I read the manufacturer's instructions and got the TV working.
Are y'all hearing this?
Your life has a manufacturer.
It's God.
You need to speak to him and talk to him about how to get your life working properly. Are y'all with me this morning? So how do we collaborate vision and purpose?
Go to Romans 8:28.
Almost through, glory to God. The Bible says, and we know that all things— somebody say all things— work together for the good to them that love God to them who are the called according to his purpose. There it is, propós in Greek, that which he has proposed. So God has proposed the plan, which means he will not force the fulfillment of purpose on you. Purpose is in you, is for you, but it is a proposal. Ah, the word according is symphoneo in Greek, which is where we get words like symphony. Say that way, we say symphoneo. You look at a symphony, there are all kinds of instruments. They're brass, they're woodwinds, they're strings, they're percussions. Watch this, they all sound different, all have different sounds. But if the conductor says Play this piece in C. Are y'all hearing this? There's a chord. Just play in the key of C in a chord, Pastor Jeffrey. That's a beautiful melodious sound because it's according to purpose. He says we know. The word know is orda in Greek. That word means absolute or exact knowledge. I'm going somewhere, please help me. Glory to God, I'm gonna be there in a moment. 1 1 2. That's absolute. You can't change that no matter how hard you try. You can go to Harvard, Yale, Cornell, get degrees from everywhere. You will never be able to change 1 1 2. It's absolute knowledge. Watch this, he said, and we know, we have absolute knowledge that everything we go through— remember I told you purpose and vision gives you hope? That everything we go through is going to work together. Together, some plural in Greek. This means that your test, your trauma, your pain, your good days, your bad days, they employ themselves with God to produce good. Are y'all with me? So no matter what you're going through, some good is going to come out of it. I need you to say that with me. Say, no matter where I am right now, say, some good is coming out of this. I'm telling you, this— you may not see it right now, but this thing is working together.
You—
your heart may be broken, tears in your eyes, can't sleep at night, crying to go to sleep, crying when you wake up, but God said if you keep operating according to purpose and vision, this thing is going to work together and produce good. Hold it, Pastor, hold it. Say good. The word good, banah, means profit. Not a prophet that prophesies, P-R-O-F-I-T, profit. So 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 God said, now you're going through this, you got all this hell in your life, you got ups and you got downs, but if you keep moving with me, you're gonna get some profit out of this struggle. You're gonna get some profit out of what you're going through. I need you to touch yourself. Say, I got some profit coming. What matter of fact, another way to look at it is change coming back to you. A lot of people don't pay with cash much anymore, but if you go to a register with cash, most of the time you're not going to have the exact number. So if your bill is $19.10 and you give the lady a $20, You stand there. As little as that 90 cents is, you want your 90 cents. Are y'all hearing this? Hey, listen, I'm not getting y'all no more than what this cost. I want 90. I want my 90 cents. Are y'all hearing this? You wait because you understand I got change coming back.
Are y'all hearing this?
Can I submit to you, some of you have left the altar too fast.
You gave up on God too quick. Are y'all hearing this? And God says you got change coming, you got profit coming, but you got to keep going through because this thing is about to work together for your good. Don't give up before—
oh my God—
before God gives you your change. Just like you wait on that 90 cent, wait for God to turn this thing all the way around. I heard the songwriter say, don't give up on God because he won't give up on you. You got to make up in your mind God's about to turn this thing all the way around. I wish I could preach to somebody that's been waiting on profit out there that's been waiting on change, I need you to rap back and say, change is coming!
Somebody catch that in a minute.
God's about to turn it around. He's about to create a new day. He's about to turn your money around. He's about to turn your children around. I don't know, maybe somebody online, he's about to turn your health around. Don't you give up on God. God can heal that cancer. God God can heal that diabetes. God can heal that high blood pressure. Don't give up on God because he's about to turn it around. I wish somebody praise him for the turn, the turn, the turn. Come on, you ain't praising him. Open your mouth and thank God for the turn. Your money is turning, your children is turning, your health is turning. The turn, the turn, the turn, the turn. It's turning around! I'm telling you, I believe God. Pastor Jeffrey, I believe God. The turn is coming in your house, in your finances, in your career, in your business. It's turning, it's turning, it's turning, it's turning, it's turning!
Ah!
It's turning!
Categor—
okay, you said thank you, God.
And we know, and we know. I'm not guessing about this thing. I know, I know, I know. I'm not trying to figure it out. I know.
Glory to God. You got to get a knowing in your spirit that it won't be this way always. There's gonna be a brighter day. God's gonna work this thing out for me. I'm telling you, you got to know it.
I don't know, but you ought to get tired of the cycle.
You ought to get tired of things being the same way. You ought to get tired of going things year after year, day after day. But God says it's turning for you. It's turning for your good. Your best days are not coming. Your best days are here. I wish I had 3 people to give God praise because your best days are here right now.
Yes, God.
Y'all see it? They work together, together, together for good, for profit to them that love God. It's interesting how this is The etymology of the word, the verbiage, is interesting because love here is agape, and it's where we get words like agape, which is unconditional love. God says it's going to work together for good to them that love me like I love them. You can't have conditional love for God and expect things to work for your good. You gotta love him because people make this one side— well, God loves me. Yeah, but if you want stuff to work for your good, he do love you. He's saying you gotta love him like he love you. You can't love God just when he blessing you. You can't love God just when you got money and everything's good.
You got to know he's God in the good days and the bad days, the hard times and the rough times. You got to know he's God.
Cuz I know when you're going through, it gets tempting to pout and have an attitude with God. God, you see me, why you got me here, and why won't you bring me out?
No.
God said, did I not love you while you were yet a sinner? Did I not die for you while you were yet struggling? Did I not give you grace when you didn't deserve grace, and here it is. I'm not moving as fast as you think I ought to be moving, and you pouting and got an attitude and got the unmitigated gall not to worship, not to praise like I owe you something. God said, if you want this thing to work out, you got to love me like I love you.
That just killed 2,000 years of theology because the church has majored on how much God loves us. But God says, I want the same love back. He told the church at Ephesus in Revelation, return to repent and do your first work over. Turn to your first love. You can't just walk around here and do what you want to do and be rebellious and be disobedient and think you're entitled to the blessing of God.
We gotta stop preaching blessing, blessing, blessing, and people are still just operating as a heathen, living like— oh my God, they want to live doing what they want to do. Acting like Adam, the old man. No ma'am, no sir, we got to express our love to God.
That love, I'm gonna leave that alone.
And, uh, called. These are the prerequisites for it.
Work out.
Every one of you are called with purpose. The according to, the simpineo, means that you are in accord with the purpose. Play that in the key of C again, Pastor.
That's a C, E, and a G.
Just play it in accord. Just play it.
Just keep playing that.
A beautiful medley and see.
Y'all hear how beautiful that sound?
That's— that your life should be this peaceful. Your life should be without tension and stress. It should be a flow and exchange between heaven and earth because you're walking out vision. But many people are not living according to purpose. They're in discord. So Pastor, play a C, a C, a E flat, a F. And I ate.
Just do it like that.
Keep doing it. That's discord. That's discord. And that's how many people's life sound. Keep playing it, Pastor.
Full of tension, full of worry, full of anguish, full of doubt, full of fear. No joy, no peace. Mad at the world, just angry and don't love nobody and care about nobody. But God says, I want to move you from discord to accord. Take me back to C.
I want to take you to peace in the midst of the storm.
I want to take you to joy when you don't feel like having joy. I want to take you to a place where you can rejoice at all times because he's king and he's God, I want to take you to a place where my purpose is clear and things are being fulfilled and doors are being open and you're living in the realm of heaven and my glory is filling your life. I want to move you from discord to accord where you are aligned with my purpose. I need about 5 people that are aligned and say, God, I want everything you to open your mouth and just begin to worship him right where you are. God is moving the discord, he's moving the tension, he's moving the pain, he's moving the broken place, and he's healing you, he's delivering you, he's lifting you higher. Open your mouth.
Thank you for peace, God. Just lift your hands a few moments. I hear the Lord saying worship right here, just a few moments. Worship him for peace, for accord in your life, because you align with his purpose. You align with His plan.
We give you the glory, God. Hallelujah, hallelujah.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. We give you praise, God.
Hallelujah.
Thank you, Lord.
All right, we're going to finish. We're going to finish. God is so good. I feel him in this place. Proverbs 29:18.
The Bible says where there's no vision Remember, vision is harzon or kolzon in Hebrew. It's prophetic revelation. It's oracle from another world. It's the ability to dream in the dream dimension.
It's the ability to dream with God. So here's the essence: I must become a person that dreams with God. I can't do that without purpose, because purpose is his dream. Anything outside of that, it's not vision, it's die vision. Die vision is two visions. So if I'm living outside of what God has dreamed I am now divided from him. Help the church, Lord, because we have fostered our own sense of vision, our own sense of life. God says we must dream through his dream, because when we don't, We perish. Oh, you can't perish except you are separated from God. Sin separates. Coming short separates. Again, we ain't just talking about adultery, lying, smoking, drinking. We talking about not living on purpose, cuz you can be doing all everything you think is right and still perishing because you ain't operating under the banner of vision. Many have died prematurely because where there's vision— I said earlier, there's life. When you lose purpose and your mind becomes reprobate, where you won't serve the purpose of God. He'll cut the work off in righteousness. And this is why you see people dying. Are y'all hearing this? Because vision was in front of them and God cut it off in righteousness to keep them from suffering. Are y'all hearing this?
Your vision keeps you alive.
Purpose keeps you alive. The word perish in Hebrew means that you die slowly because you lost control. Where there's no vision, the people are out of control. Look at our earth today. This foolishness is out of control. More murders than ever. Are y'all hearing this? More injustice. You, you don't even see it publicized, but it's just as much racism in our country right now as it was in the '60s and '70s.
They just ain't reporting it out.
They show you what they want you to see because we've lost control. Because the church is in a corner jumping and shouting and speaking in tongues with no vision to change the world. Preachers are majoring on how popular they can get, trying to gather people in the building when we need to be showing up in the world.
Oh, come on, see, oh my God, because there are people that need what we carry.
So the world now is out of control because everybody wants to preach, everybody wants to prophesy, everybody wants to be an apostle, a prophet, a pastor, a teacher. And now the world's out of control because nobody understands that they need to be showing up as an entrepreneur, they need to be showing up as a lawyer, a doctor, they need to be showing up— glory to the name of God— as people that can show up in politics and lobby us to change the trajectory of law in America. There are more things we ought to be doing doing in the kingdom other than being in the church trying to get rank in the church?
He said, he that keeps the law, happy is he.
So no vision, the people perish. But the law is centered around the vision. It's kingdom law, okay? There are kingdom laws that govern the kingdom of God. Every kingdom or nation has what is called a constitution. That constitution spells out the laws of that nation. Our constitution is the Bible, okay?
We can't change this, right?
See, there are people out there— I talked about this a couple of weeks ago— who are trying to change this. Because they wanted to fit their desires. But we can't change this if it says adultery is wrong. Y'all hearing this?
Adultery is wrong.
It's our Constitution. And listen, while we love all of the LGBTQXYZ whatever We love you.
We hate the sin.
And if the Bible says it's wrong, we can't change this. Preachers who are forming coalitions and ecumenical boards and processes to adjust the reality of the text, and they're debating, saying we need another canon, which means we need another Bible.
The devil is a liar.
Glory to God. And I say to all of them out there doing it, Yvette Flunder, O.C. Allen, and all of those inclusionists that are out there trying to change the word of God, first of all, I submit to you you never had the Holy Ghost anyway. Because the Bible says in Hebrews, once you have tasted of the heavenly gift, it is impossible for you to turn away.
So the very fact that you're trying to change what the Holy Ghost has spoken, it tells me you never tasted him anyway. And I ain't scared of not one of you. I'm at 410 Santa Fe Trail. Come see me, because the name of Jesus still has power. The blood of Jesus is still right, and you can be delivered, you can be healed, you can be saved. You can't tell me the Bible is wrong because you want to be a lesbian, because you want to be a homosexual. The devil is a liar. You need deliverance from the spirit of promiscuity and be saved for real.
Okay, I'm back, I'm back. I was in the camera. I'm back.
Okay, we got to keep the law. The word is right.
Please take these clips. Y'all won't like to share stuff, clip that and make it go viral. No, I ain't roller skating or none of that. I'm telling the truth. We got to keep the law. We got to keep this law. We got to protect it.
We got to fight for it. This truth is all we have.
Any vision or dream that's not aligned with God's purpose and his law and his plan— watch this— it's a nightmare and not a dream.
It's a nightmare while you woke. Interesting, right? Because most nightmares occur while you sleeping, but your day-to-day life becomes a nightmare because you're not aligned with God's plans, with God's purpose. Lord, help us today.
Watch this. When purpose and vision are aligned— I'm almost done— it guarantees success. Do you want to be successful?
I mean, if you don't, then none of this matters. But if you want to have success in life, if you want to overcome the obstacles that come against you, you got to align with purpose and vision.
Let me tell you the truth about me. Every failure— and I failed before in my life, I have failed since I've been saved, I have failed since I've been a preacher.
Are y'all hearing this? I have let God down. And I know he wasn't pleased, but here's the key to deliverance: owning your failure, owning your mistake, and asking God to redeem you and deliver you. And he sets you free, and then you choose to live for him.
Here's what I learned about why I failed.
Every failure in my life was a prayer failure first.
I'm gonna say that again.
Every failure was a prayer failure first because I didn't pray through to victory. I knew I had to struggle. I knew I was tempted, but I didn't pray through to breakthrough because I wanted to keep doing it. So I'm trying to help you all the time. That's not God's vision for my life, to be living beneath his privilege, doing something that I was not supposed to be doing?
Okay, that's too much for somebody.
I'm just honest enough to tell you my story. And while that's years ago, the reality is it can help you now because you don't have to go through what I went through. I went through days of watching God do stuff for other people and him not doing it for me. And I'm talking about him using me and then refusing me. I'm praying, prophesying over other people, and they getting free, and I'm still bound. I'm preaching people into blessing and prosperity, and I was broke because it was a prayer failure.
I failed to pray through.
But watch this, on the flip side, every success I've had I've had some, I'm living them now, was a prayer success first. I spent time with God and prayed through to vision so I can see clearly what he had for my life.
Listen, I said all to say this: you cannot fulfill feel vision and purpose if you do not know God, because they come from him. The main thing that keeps you from knowing God is sin and missing the mark. You got to get that right, people.
Stop making excuses. You can't—
some of y'all ain't got enough life to left to keep trying to live in sin.
You might as well give God the rest of it. Are y'all hearing this? Because he ain't through with you, and he will extend your life if you give it to him. Because watch this, when vision and purpose get married— and I'm closing with this— they give birth to a child called the future. What do you want your future to look like?
You got to embrace vision, you got to embrace purpose. And I'm talking about authentic vision and purpose that comes from God.
Everybody in this room has one.
Embrace it, walk it out, live it. It's his plan for you.
Y'all stand.
I'm done, I'm done. I hope y'all got something out of this today. Hallelujah! My God, I want you to do me a favor and just grab hands this morning. Touch and agree. Now we're gonna just say some of this out loud. Glory to God. I believe death and life is in the power of your tongue. I believe you have what you say. So Father, as we prepare our hearts to pray and to confess over what we've received, we believe that what we say will come to pass. Your word says we shall decree a thing and it will be established. So Father, as we make these decrees, we thank you that what we say will be established in our lives. Your word also says that angels hearken to the voice of thy word.
Your word.
So Father, even as the angels hear us confess Your word, that they will move in and begin to bring to pass what we say. And we give You praise and glory for it now.
Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I believe that I can have sight and no vision. But I decree and declare now that my greatest gift is not sight, it's vision. So I believe that vision is a function of the heart. So I believe eyes that look are common, but oh my God, eyes that see are rare. Say, in the name of Jesus, I want to see myself, I want to see my future the way you see me. Say, in the name of Jesus, I believe vision is a source of hope and life. Say, vision— oh my God— say, vision makes disappointment and suffering bearable. Say, vision inspires work. Say, vision energizes faith. Say, vision is your reality for my purpose and my future in the name of Jesus. Say, vision is working together Everything in my life for the good.
Say, it's coming together. Say, it's coming together.
Say, the way it is now is not the way it's going to be. Say, it's a new day, it's a new hour, it's a new time.
My life is turning around.
Right now in Jesus' name.
I receive the word.
I have purpose and meaning in my life, and I declare I will show up to do what you call me to do in Jesus' name.
Come on, clap your hands and give God praise. Come on, clap those hands and give God glory. Come on, open your mouth for vision. Come on, I need some vision walkers. I need some dreamers in this house to open your mouth and praise God because things are turning for you. Things are changing for you right now while you praise. God's gonna meet you in your hand clap. God's gonna meet you in your thank you. I need you to praise him for the turn of around. Praise him for the breakthrough.
Praise him for the open door. Hallelujah. While you're yet standing, there may be someone in this room that's not saved.
With every head bowed and every eye closed, please be obedient, saints. No one look looking around. Everyone bow your head and close your eyes. If you're in this building today and you're not born again, the first step to walking in vision is receiving the Lord. It's the counsel of the Lord. It's the purpose of the Lord.
If you're here and you say, I, I just want to receive the Lord, I want to get started on this journey. I don't mean to embarrass you.
I—
that's why I got everybody heads bowed, never eyes closed. If that's you, saints in the building praying, just lift up your hands.
I got to get started on this journey. I want to get started on this journey. I want to open my heart and give my life to you, God.
Maybe you're in this room and you once were in God, but you backslid. You turned your back and you start doing your own thing, and God says he want to get you back in accord with him, back in alignment. You know your business is not straight with God. You know if you close your eyes and died today, that hell would be your portion. If you're in this building, just lift your hand.
And say, Apostle, pray for me, I want to be saved, I want to be saved. Glory to God.
Maybe you're in this building and you're not filled with the Holy Ghost, and you say, I want to be filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. So I want— I need the governor of vision in my life, the Holy Spirit, so I communicate with with him. If you say, I need the Holy Spirit to come in, lift your hand.
Glory to God, I see those hands.
Tomorrow might be too late, saints.
Glory to God, I see those hands.
He wants to fill you today. He wants to baptize you in his Spirit today. The Bible said the apostles laid hands on them and they received give you the gift of the Holy Ghost. I believe today that as we pray, God will fill you. Open your heart to receive. And if you lift your hands for salvation, as we pray, God's going to come into your heart and he's going to save you today. I want every person to repeat after me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, say, I repent of my sin. So I open my heart and I invite you in. Say, save me, Lord. Say, I believe that you died and rose again. Come in my heart and live in me. Say, in the name of Jesus, I ask you, God, to save me. Say, I repent of every sin I've ever committed. In Jesus' name. Say, Father, fill me with the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues. I receive it this morning in the name of Jesus.
Say, Father, your word says as the apostles laid hands on them, they received the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Father, this morning, even as hands are laid on me, I will receive baptism in the Holy Ghost. In Jesus' name, amen. Now give God praise for those that got saved this morning, for those that shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Come on, praise him right there! Hallelujah!
Glory to God!
Now there were a few of you that lifted your hands not just for salvation, but some of you lifted for the baptism in the Holy Ghost. If you want to receive it this morning, this is Pentecost season.
On May 24th, we'll celebrate Pentecost, but we don't have to wait till then. God says he wants to touch you now and give you the evidence of speaking in other tongues. If you're in this building, you say, I want to receive it today, just get out of your seat and come this way. I want to pray with you.
If you lifted your hand, just come. That's that next step of faith. You got to come. Somebody give God praise as they're coming. Glory to God.
Hallelujah. Glory, glory.
I want every person just stand right here next to her. Yeah, yeah, there you go. Thank you, Jesus. Lift your hands, everybody, and stretch your hand this way.
Change that, Pastor, give me something else.
That song is in my head. We give you praise, we give you praise.
Come on, if you got a prayer language, I want you to begin to pray right now. I'm believing God that he's going to fill these two with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. And while you're there, I want you both just begin to worship and thank God. It's a gift from God, not from me.
It's a gift.
It's just like if I gave you something on Christmas, you just got to receive it and exercise the faith.
Father, we give you praise. We thank you, God.
As the apostles laid hands on them, they received the gift of the Holy Ghost.
And Father, we thank you. We thank you for Mother now. And God, as I lay my hands upon her, God, fill her temple with power. Fill her temple with your anointing. God, we thank you. Mama, just tell him thank you, thank you, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. And the Bible said when the apostles laid hands, they received the gift of the Holy Ghost. With the evidence of speaking in tongues. Father, just receive it. It's on you right there.
Just— it's a language.
Just speak it like English. It's right there. No fear.
Be filled with the Holy Ghost.
Yeah, there it is. Even as he's filling you, he's healing you. As he's filling you, he's healing you. Yeah, yeah, let it roll off your tongue. There it is.
It's a language just like English.
He gives utterance.
He—
Just like it just came out there, just let it flow. Oh yes, yeah, it's a language and it's your language now, Mother.
Yeah, yeah.
Come on, praise him for this infilling.
Yes, Lord. Yes. Oh, glory.
Father, I thank you for my brother. And brother, just receive it. No fear. It's a language. The Spirit of the Lord is already upon you. He's already anointed you. And this language is your language. It's the language of kingdom citizens. It's your heavenly language. It's the language of your home country. And the Bible says, and when the apostles laid hands upon them, they received the gift of the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in other tongues. And even as I lay my hands upon you, my brother, okay. You shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Feel God. I fan the flame. It's already there.
Just speak.
Just let it roll.
Stir it in his belly, God. Come on, every intercessor praying. It's right there, my brother.
Yeah, just speak it. I feel it moving in your belly. I impart this thing.
Receive it. It's not magic, it's there. Just receive it. It's a gift, it's a free gift. Just begin to speak it.
Move it out of your lips. It's on your tongue. Yeah, there you go. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir. Yes, yes, somebody praise God!
Come on, I need the saints to praise! I need the saints to praise! Come on, praise God for the anointing of the Holy Ghost!
Somebody clap your hands and say thank you, Jesus!
Come on, Thank you, Jesus. It's the language of your home country. It's not—
our language is not Swahili. It's the language of the Spirit.
We are citizens of heaven. We are otherworldly people. Shuku tabaya.
Thank you, Jesus.
Yeah, I love it.
Y'all clap your hands.
Come on, you ain't doing it.
Clap your hands and say thank you, Lord. Come on, clap your hands. Come on.
It is so. And this language, sir, my brother, it's going to develop daily. God said every day as you pray, make an effort to pray in the Spirit. As you progress in the language, it will formulate like your English language. Think about it, saints. We started out as babies.
Baba baba.
We started out saying sounds and syllables, but eventually we learned to speak the English language. God said, as you practice daily in the Spirit and as you pray, the language will become fluent, and power and boldness will begin to flow out of your life in this language. Thank you for the anointing. He's firing. Matter of fact, not only did this thing hit your body and your tongue, but God says, I want to place fire on your ministry, fire on your calling. There's another level of fire that's about to flow out of your teaching, out of your reaching. And God, at times, And God said many gifts will flow out of you and lives will be changed because of the anointing that rests on your life. He said to tell you, you are his son and he has not changed his mind about you. And the days ahead will be filled with fire.
Sha! Ko sha ta ta bai. I need every Holy Ghost-filled person to stretch your hand this way and wrap back and shout, fire!
Let it burn in his life, for I declare you shall be known as a burning one.
To.
Just surrender to his vision, his plan, and his purpose. This word today hit your heart, and God said there's a realigning and a refiring that is taking place in your life even now.
For yes, you are his son, says the Lord.
Somebody give God Praise. Come on, give God praise. Come on, I need you to clap your hands and say thank you.
Come on, take me out of here, Pastor.
Come on, just go with me.
Clap your hands and say thank you, God. Come on, open Open your mouth, Zion. Clap. Something's happening in this room. I know it's Mother's Day, but clap your hands and tell God thank you. Come on, y'all not doing it. Come on, clap your hands.
Lord, we give you glory. Lift your hands up. Yo, man, what you come up for? You want to speak in tongues? That's why he came? Is that what you want?
You want the gift of the Holy— do you want it? So it's just like a gift at Christmas.
I'm going to touch you. This is how it's going to happen.
You have to receive it.
Come on, give me this microphone. You're gonna receive the Holy Spirit just like that. After you receive it, you're going to speak in tongues. You hear me?
Just open your mouth and begin to speak. Close your eyes. Lift your hands up.
Father, close your eyes. Close your eyes. Say this with me. Say, Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, Jesus.
Say, Apostle Woods will lay hands upon me, and according to your word, I'm going to receive the Holy Ghost, and I will speak in other tongues.
You got to receive it just like I gave you that mic. Feel him, God, with the Holy Ghost.
In the name of Jesus.
Now tell him thank you, son.
Just tell him thank you.
Thank you, Jesus.
Come on, thank you, Jesus. Don't be afraid. Thank you, Jesus.
Thank you, Jesus. God is right there.
Just tell him thank you. Satan, the Lord rebuke you. Cast the devil out of the mind. Break down every stubborn will.
Come on, Ziah, I need you to praise God right here.
Come on, clap your hands, open your mouth. Come on, open your mouth.
Y'all ain't doing it.
Open your mouth. Come on, thank God. Go to other side.
Pastor, I just need you to shift me all the way out of there. Take me to church side.
Come on, open your mouth and tell God thank you. Come on, tell God thank you. Come on, clap your hands and say thank you, Jesus. Come on, y'all not doing it. Open your mouth.
You gotta tell him thank you, son.
You gotta thank him. Thank you, Jesus. Come on, thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.
We give you the glory, God.
We give you the glory. We give you the glory.
You can't be afraid of it.
You got to receive it.
Thank you.
The desire is there, but you got to receive it.
You hear me?
So Here's what I want you to do. Every night, I want you to go home. Before you go to bed, here, look, look at me good. I want you to say your prayers, right? One, I want you to ask God to forgive you of your sin and ask him to fill you with the Holy Ghost. I want you to pray that every night, okay?
And when you come back again, I'm gonna lay hands on you.
And you're gonna speak in tongues, all right? Because he's gonna hear your prayers and he's gonna show you it's gonna come from what you say. So Mama, you remind him every night to say his prayers and ask for the gift of the Holy Ghost. You got it?
Y'all give God praise!
Hallelujah!
Come on, y'all can do better than that. Shakaanta basa.
Mother, just lift your hands up, woman of God, real quick.
Stand— just stand right there.
Just take— yeah, stand right there. Lift your hands up. See if you can find me on this. I just hear this for you. He says, I'll make the darkness light for you.
What is wrong?
He said to tell you, I'll make it right.
Be for you. All your battles I will fight.
That's what God says to you.
For you, and the high places I will bring down.
I'm gonna say it again. I'll make the darkness light. This is the Lord for you. For you, what is wrong I'll make it right before you. He says, all your battles I will fight. You gotta stop fighting this thing. He said, I'm gonna fight it for you.
And the high place I will bring down.
Listen to this. He says, with an everlasting love, he says, I love you, but with trials deep and soiled, I'll prove you, and nothing shall ever hurt or move you.
And the high place I will bring down.
Though Satan in his rage, because he's mad at you, should tear thee, and in all his cunning ways ensnare thee. But here's what God says: even down to thine old age, God says, I'll bear thee, and the high place I will bring down Every high place. God says, I'm bringing it down right now.
Every high place, it's coming down, it's coming down. And God said, this day today is the first day of the rest of your life. I'm lifting the burden and destroying the yoke.
I will bring down— Felicia, sing it. I'll make the darkness light. What is wrong?
What is wrong?
I'll make it right.
I'll make it right.
Somebody else catch it. Before you—
all your battles I will fight.
All your battles I will fight.
Your battles I will fight for you. I will bring it down.
Thank you, Jesus. Lift those hands, everybody. Father, we love you. We thank you for the power of vision. Thank you for vision, God. Open our eyes that we may see what you see. Show us the future.
I can see you in your future, and you look much better than you look right now.
I can see you. Come on, prophesy to your neighbor.
In your future.
Come on. And you look much better.
And you look much better than you look right now.
Than you look right now.
I can see you.
I can see you in your future.
Yes, God, and you look much better than you look right now.
Clap your hands for what's coming. Hallelujah! Glory to God! We gotta go, gotta go. Hallelujah. I can stay in this all day, but we gotta go. We give you glory. Pastor, just stay right there. I want to put my hands on you. Father, we thank you. We bind every hindering thing, every blockage. Every sabotage that's trying to thwart the blessing of God. Father, we thank you that this man, God, has stepped into a place of increase and blessing, and we declare not another day will it be withheld.
We bind up every principality and demonic force that has delayed the breakthrough.
Shabaka tomosia!
We thank you that right now— somebody shout now!
Come on, declare it now!
We declare right now in Jesus' name that there will be a manifestation of power and provision. Thank you, God, that not another day will go by where provision will not be there. Thank you for the release in the name of Jesus.
Whatsoever we bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. And we decree and declare that everything not like you is bound now. Lack is bound.
Thank you, God.
Deficit is bound. And we loose provision, we loose breakthrough in the name of Jesus.
Thank you for the wisdom to march into the blessing that even awaits this week.
And we bless you for it now in Jesus' name. Come on, clap your hands for what's coming. Oh, glory to God! We gotta go.
Listen, I'm gonna let you go. I know you want to go eat with Mama. Glory to God. We're gonna give. Hallelujah. But I feel Jesus. Hallelujah. He's a good God, isn't he?
Hallelujah.

And you look much better.
You look right.
I can see you in your And you look much better. You've been through the storm, you've been through the rain, you've been fighting your way through this season. God said the days ahead Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning. The Lord said to tell you, you are stepping now into joy. Interesting enough, the word good, bonar in Greek, and the word joy, shea in Hebrew, mean the same thing. They mean profit. So this joy that you're about to step in will be a profitable season. It's a season of increase. Matter of fact, you're about to walk into the best days of your life, in your family and your career.
You look much better than you look right now in every regard— your heart, your spirit, your mind.
It looks better.
God says you are soaring into new dimensions, and God said wherever you put your feet, it's going to prosper.
Wherever you put your hands, you can call it yours. For today, he's opening wide doors. Yeah, God, I thank you in Jesus' name.
Somebody give God praise. Oh, glory. I'm trying to go. My God.
Right now.
Come here, Minister Tanya, give somebody else the phone.
Lift your hands up, lift your hands up.
And you look much better, and you look right now.
Sing it, Felicia.
I can see you in your future, and you look much better than you look right now.
Once again, I can see you in your future.
Shut up.
Yeah, much better than you look right, right now.
Yes, God.
2026 is not over. God said what I promised you in 2022 2025, I'm gonna fulfill my promise to you. He said, do not be distracted to the left nor to the right, but stay focused because my promise remains sure.
And God said, 2026, I'm going to release fresh, clear plans for your business. But yeah, he's promised you that you would be a millionaire and even a multi-millionaire, and it will come through your business. And God says the faith to do it is now being energized. You have to refine this vision and walk it out. He says as far as you can see, to the north, the south, the east, and the west, He said you can't limit yourself.
You got to look as far as you can.
And God says, as far as you can see, that's how far I'm gonna bless you. Even as a young girl, you—
a young woman, you lost your mom.
And God says, I'm going to cause all of those things that are working together for your good because of that. He said that happened because he needed to accelerate you as a leader, as an influencer in your family and in the world. And, ah, and God said, he said, so for her loss was not in vain. It was that you may become the woman he's called you to be. And God's saying, you shall soar and make her so proud, for she looks down upon you even today and her chest is out and she smiles because the Father has even made it clear to her what you shall be. So she's one of the clouds of witnesses that look on to your life now. You don't go a day where she's not watching you and she's not cheering you on. And your success shall be good success. Oh God, and you shall leave great legacy among your siblings and your family, for you shall do even greater than she even dreamed.
And for that she is proud.
So God said, lock in, lock down.
Dig in, because the day is upon you to fulfill vision and walk out purpose.
For I can see you in your future, and you look much better than you look right now.
A problem verse 31 woman you are. Kela tabada.
God said, that's why I'm preparing this husband, because he has to be ready to receive who he has made you to be.
He's preparing him even now to walk in security and authority and power with you, because it won't be an easy task because of the woman you have become and will be.
And you look much better than you look right now.
God, let oracles speak to her.
Oracles of heaven, prophets.
Kutamanti ansa.
From the heavenly realm, let them prophesy over her life. Let the Holy Spirit bring oracles of vision and strategy. And we bless you for the ears to hear, but God says, I'm calling you to a deep consecration so I can release a heavy anointing. For the days to come will be greater than what you've ever seen.
I can see you in your future, and you look much better than you look right now.
Clap your hands, everybody!
Come on, Ashiata!
Hallelujah!
And you look much better. And you look right now.
Zion, come here really quick. I just want to lay my hands on you. I'm trying to go, y'all.
And you look much better.
Lift your hands up, Zion daughter.
And you look right now.
God says you have to allow him to catapult you into clear meaning and clear purpose. God says he's pleased with what you've done with your mom, the love you've shown her, the sacrifices you made. But somewhere, daughter, You lost Zina, and God said he sees the sacrifice.
And God said, so he don't take her from this earth before her time.
You got to find yourself again, cuz you got so much life in you, so much creativity in you, so much your husband needs from you, so much Christopher needs from you. And not that you don't give to them, but there's so much more because Mama has become the preoccupation.
God says you got to be willing to release her in this life so he don't take her from you. And if that means now turning over the reins, I'm telling you what God said to me. He said the time now is that your brother or one of your siblings has to step up and take their responsibility. I'm telling you, on this Mother's Day, they have to do more because you have to reclaim who you are. And if it means taking her there. It's going to be hard, but you got to release her. And God will convict him. Hear me, God will convict him to rise up and do what he's supposed to do for his mother.
It's his turn now. It is taking a toll on you and your house. And that's the woman of God you are, as the intercessor you are. I know it's tough, but you got to release her because the earth needs Zion, and they can't get you in full as long as you hold on It's hard for me to give you this word because I feel the hurt.
It's hard to see your mom in that condition, and that's why you've sacrificed so much for so long. But daughter, you gotta let it go. Father, I thank you for Zion Jasper. The world needs her. I ask you, God, today to give her the strength to release her mom so that you can do in mom what needs to be done and do in her what needs to be done, and the world can get the fullness of Zion Jasper, all of her intelligence, her spice, her life.
All of her wisdom the world is missing. So give her strength.
Give her strength, God, in the name of Jesus.
We thank you for it, in Jesus' name.
For I can see you in your future, and you look much better than you look right now.
Clap your hands.
Oh God, come on, praise him please.
Yes Lord, yes Lord. Love you, daughter. I love you. It's well. Thank you, Jesus. Clap your hands again and bless him.
Hey, glory, we give you Praise God. Woo!
I'm trying to go, y'all. We going to get out of here. All right, we going to try to give. The ways to give are up on the screen. Father, bless every gift and every giver. Your word says as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. So Father, even in our giving Today, lead us. Thank you for the spirit of sacrifice. Thank you that you're prospering this people as they purpose in their heart to give toward the vision. Thank you for the building at 3060 Boulder Crest Road. Thank you for financing.

We thank you that what's to come in our ministry, we see it in the future, it shall be better than what we have right now.
We bless you for—
thank you for businesses under the sound of my voice prospering. Thank you for money in the bank, checks in the mail. Thank you for unexpected expected blessings coming to us so that we can be a blessing to the kingdom. In the name of Jesus, we declare it now.
In Jesus' name, amen. Even those of you watching on us online, if you're blessed by this ministry, get seed in the ground. If you have cash or physical money, just bring it and place it in the bucket. Glory to God. It's more blessed to give than it is to receive. Hallelujah. Now you—

I put the check in the basket and just stop right there.
Lift your hands up.
You're right. Yeah, yeah, just lift your hands.
I'm trying to go home.
The months of July, August, and September of this year. Those 91, 92 days, God said to tell you they're going to be filled with one reconciliation. So God says, I'm going to restore and reconcile some relationships and some things around you. He said July, August, September are the months this is going to happen. For God says, I've given you the ministry of reconciliation. God said you have to experience this power of what seems impossible on some ends because you're going to be a champion that causes others to unify. You are a bridge builder.
You are a key to bringing things together. And in your family where there's been division, God's going to use you to cause a reconciliation and a uniting. For even God said the end of '26 and '27 will be a year of harvest for your family. Which means they will get saved.
Your family, ones that don't know God, will come to God and they'll begin to serve him. But you'll be the general that leads that move. God said your voice is about to be heard, and wherever you put your hands, he's going to prosper it. Father, I thank you for reconciliation. Restoration and increase. And I speak to the months of July, August, and September, and I decree and declare that angels have already gone there to watch over this word to perform it.
Thank you for sending her to this house. Thank you that she is a necessary piece to this ministry. Make her clear of that. And Father, we just give you glory now. That what's to come in her steps will be what you ordered, will be what you purposed. Thank you for the glory that shall come to her family because they come to you, and we praise you for it now in Jesus' name.
Amen.
I can see you in your future.
And you look much better than you look right now.
Hallelujah! Somebody bless the Lord.
Hallelujah!
Wonderful Jesus. Glory to God. Father, bless every gift and every giver. I pray that every Everyone has given something. Give it back to them a thousand times more. Thank you, Lord, that it's more blessed to give than it is to receive. And Father, we give you praise that our seed will not fall to the ground void, but it will die and multiply as you have promised. Thank you that the seeds we've sown, the tithe we've brought, it's coming back to us not 50, not 60, not 70, not 80, not 90, but 100-fold.
We receive it and we thank you for it in Jesus' name.
Amen. Clap your hands and give God praise. Thank you, God, for meeting our needs. Jesus, I'm believing God, y'all. We going to have to close on this building about 45, 60 days. We got to have $100,000 for the down payment. I'm telling you right now, we going to have it. Hallelujah!
Y'all need to give God praise.
And it's not going to be just because of me, it's going to be because God's going to bless you. He's going to bless us all to sow into this property, and then we going to pay it off in 12 months. Yeah, some of y'all a little slow on that, but we going to do 12 months, we're gonna pay off a million dollar loan. Are y'all hearing this? God, he's already promised it. That's the vision. It's gonna happen because we got other things to do than carrying a million dollar mortgage for 30 years. We're not gonna do that. So one year, God said we're gonna pay that off and then we're gonna just start working on something else. Are y'all hearing this? I'll tell you, eyes have not seen, ears have not heard. Neither has it been revealed in the heart of man the good things he has prepared for us, says the Lord. Amen. Y'all clap your hands again and give God praise. Glory to God.

Things moms don't say.
All right, next one please, gentlemen.
We are mothers. We are mothers. We are mothers. We're the ones who are stretched thin and stretched far. The ones who live on caffeine and God's grace. We're the ones whose hearts are walking around outside of our bodies. We are the women who love children that we didn't birth. The women who wait to hold the babies we couldn't carry. And the women who ache for a dream that sometimes feels unseen. The North Stars who guide our children home and welcome them back into the fold no matter how far they might have gone. We are the ones who love this life even on the days we don't like it. Motherhood is harder and holier and better than we ever thought. Some days you want to quit. Most days you can't imagine your life being anything else, but becoming a mother changes everything. And here's the truth that we all need to be reminded of today. God chose you. God chose you in this time for your children. He called you. He anointed you. He entrusted you. He trusts you. God knew exactly what he was doing when he gave you your children. He knew the the long nights and the short years.
He knew the long nights and the short years.
He knew the pain and the incredible joy. And he knew that there was no better mom for the job than you. Today, today, we celebrate you. Today, we honor you because you carry one of the hardest and holiest callings. You are a mother. You are a mother.
You are a mother.
You are a mother.
You are a mother.
Hallelujah! Come on, y'all, give our mothers a hand today. Glory to God. All right, y'all can cut the lights back on. Thank you so much, gentlemen. All right, all our mothers stand, please. If you're a mother, come here. My wife got somebody else's baby. God knows we ain't got no cheer in that though. Come over here with me. We're gonna honor— and I honor my wife, who's the mother of my children. Y'all give her a hand.
Come on.
Well, we ain't worried about your shoes. She said she took her shoes off. Where the ones we got for First Lady?
All right. I just want to tell you, yes, that we love you so bad, man.
Not only do we love you as a person, but we love your ministry, your wisdom, your knowledge, just who you are as an example.
It means a lot.
I believe I say this on behalf of all of our members. You are a great example. You are an awesome First Lady. We love you so much.
Happy Mother's Day.
All right, all our other mothers, we got something for you.
So, uh, just come up. Minister Sharia has a rose for you, and we just want to say we love you. So if you're a mother, come get your rose. Just come, no matter— just come, just come get them.

Everybody enjoy your mother today. Uh, we would have had something special for my mama today, but she had a retreat. I told y'all that earlier, didn't I? I guess I feel some kind of way. Y'all pray for me.
Amen.
Glory to God. Yeah, we'll take care when she get back from the retreat. We're gonna anoint it with oil first, and then we'll give the gifts. Praise God. We're going home, y'all. Just a few announcements. Listen, to all of our leaders, uh, please, on tomorrow night— we didn't have leadership training last night, but you want to tap in on tomorrow night. And even if you're not a leader and want to— well, everybody has some leader in them. We're going to be talking about leadership and vision. Matter of fact, I'm gonna be talking about lion-level leadership on tomorrow night. So make sure if you want to be a part of the Zoom, see Pastor Jeffrey. He can make sure you get the information to log into that Zoom on tomorrow night. I think everybody needs to become like a lion when they lead. It's all about perception. The lion is not the fastest in the jungle. He's not the strongest. He's not the biggest. But he is the most respected. Are y'all hearing this? And it's because of vision and perception, and we're going to talk about that on tomorrow night. So make sure you're on the leadership call tomorrow night. Then on Tuesday, um, I was on set filming all last week, so I mean, I had really no opportunity to get up and do prayer with you guys. I was going to bed 3 or 4 o'clock every night last week, but this Tuesday for sure Uh, we will continue in our fast, uh, from midnight Monday night to 3 o'clock on Tuesday. We pray at 5 AM. Make plans to meet us for prayer at 5 AM on Tuesday morning and fast with us all day. We're trusting God and we're really believing God again for the vision and for provision for what he's told us to do.
Amen.
So as you fast, we're believing God for that. Uh, then on Thursday, somebody say Thursday night. Thursday night thirst. We're here in person. I appreciate all of you that press your way, uh, to be here on Thursday nights. Uh, we've been having some good in-person meetings.
Amen.
So if you can get here Thursday, be here. Uh, if you watching us online, we understand, but if you could press your way, I believe that God will bless you for being in the building, assembling yourself. I just believe God wants to get people back in the house of God. There's this thing out, people afraid of this hantivirus, talking about a new strand of COVID Man, we're covered in the blood. Amen. Are y'all hearing this?
We're not even gonna buy into that terror that the media is feeding.
We trust God.
Amen.
And we believe that just like last time, we still here. We gonna be here if any—
I'm just—
I believe that the pestilence has to be bound up before it even hit.
So we pray it won't even come. Amen.
And that's what we're gonna do. So get here Thursday night if you can, uh, and then don't forget, on next Sunday we'll be right back here at 10 o'clock AM.
Um, few announcements.
June 12th 13th, uh, I'll be in Madison, Mississippi with Apostle Brandon. Uh, if you're interested in going to this meeting, uh, I think there is a registration link. I will give it to Pastor Jeffrey because I don't think he has it because Apostle just sent it to me. So if you want to come, you can go ahead and get registered. I think the registration is like $20. It covers lunch and all that stuff on Saturday. So because they'll have lunch right there, it's going to be a great meeting. Y'all know Apostle Brandon, and, uh, so this is his meeting. Uh, he has some great speakers. I'm not saying that because I'm there, but there's some other great speakers there, and him, he'll be speaking as well.
