Unlocking Kingdom Economy, Part 2 | Dr. Mike Woods | 10 May 2025

Well, grace and peace everyone from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. This is Apostle Michael Lyris Woods, and today is Saturday, and welcome to this special 12 noon teaching. Glory to God. I had to jump on here and share this because I couldn't get it out of my spirit. Glory to God. So, uh, if you're gonna join us live, great. If not, you can catch the replay. Either way, this word will be here. I couldn't— I'm again, I could not shake it. I couldn't get it out of my spirit. Glory to God. So welcome to everyone that is here. I pray that you are blessed. God bless you, Stephanie. Good to see you this afternoon on this Saturday. Glory to God. I appreciate your hunger for the word. Glory to God. Um, I'm super excited to, uh, be able to drop this today because I was gonna wait actually to tomorrow to finish this up, but I woke up and this thing was still in my spirit. Matter of fact, when I got through teaching it on Thursday night, it was still in my spirit, and I really, uh, was hoping, glory to God, that I could finish it on Thursday, but my time ran out. Glory to God. So I'm gonna finish it up this morning. I pray, uh, that you're here because listen, this is not just another feel-good, uh, teaching, uh, sermon. Uh, this is a message from God, and these are some supernatural instructions. Uh, say that with me. Say instructions. Uh, from heaven, supernatural instructions that I am releasing really to help you actually unlock kingdom economy in your life for real, you know, because as a kingdom citizen, you should be able to access the economy of the King, operate on the auspices of his Commonwealth, and see his glory manifested in every aspect of your life. Um, and again, it's not just some prosperity teaching, uh, that, you know, people try to equate anytime you talk about finances or money or blessings, uh, to prosperity teachings. Well, uh, there's nothing wrong with prosperity teaching because God wants us to be prosperous, but in the mindset of some, it's just simply, uh, to fool people into thinking they can have something they can't, which in reality, that's not true neither. If you apply the principles to the word of God, uh, heaven's resources will be made available to you. And if you're not applying those, it just means that you, one, you have not been taught it, or two, you've been taught it and you're rejecting the application. So I, I just want to make sure, uh, glory to God, that you're not rejecting application. I want to make sure that you are receiving, glory to God, what thus saith the Lord, what's coming out of my mouth on, uh, this teaching. Because honestly, family, you know, if you're living beneath your privilege, glory to God, if you're living beneath your privilege, if you're living beneath your privilege, then that means, praise God, that you are— again, you're either just rejecting the revelation, rejecting the application or you are not obeying, you're operating in disobedience. Glory to God! I am live right now, I am live right now, and, uh, I, I need you guys to tap into this. Glory to the name of God! Because if you're scrolling past, stop and get it. Praise God! Because again, this is not just another realm of feel-good teaching. Glory to God. This is the word of God. It is instruction from heaven. Let's pray, and then we're going to review what we taught on Thursday, and we're going to jump into the heart of this. Amen. Father, we give you praise and we thank you. We thank you for your goodness. We thank you for your mercy. We thank you for your grace. We thank you for your failure— your, your faithfulness to us. And even where we have fail to be faithful. God, we thank you, God, that your grace and mercy never fails. And God, that you're yet merciful. So Father, today as we are introduced or even reminded to these principles, may we be obedient and move in application. Hallelujah! May we move in application to your word and do exactly what you say, what you tell us to do. In the mighty name of Jesus. Amen. Glory to God. Hallelujah. God bless you, Shariel. Good to see you, daughter. Hallelujah. Thank you for tagging and sharing so many people below. Glory to God. That's so very important. Thank you, Lord. We appreciate God. Hallelujah. He's good. So just want to review really quick, um, what we talked about on, um, Thursday. Because we talked about unlocking kingdom economics, uh, access over acquisition. And so we, we talked, number one, that access is the cornerstone of kingdom economy. Praise God. And we, we talked about how we want to operate in this. We got to shift from an acquisition mindset and tap into a access mindset. Say that with me. Say, I have access to the King and his kingdom. That means you have access to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and all of his resources. That access was given to you when Jesus died and resurrected and ripped the veil in the temple. Now you can boldly come to the throne of grace that you may find— watch this— grace to help in the time of need. So the, the throne of grace, which is the King's throne, you've been given access to him. Glory to God. Say it again. I got access to him. And so I talked about on Thursday how we have this acquisition mindset. We work hard to acquire things, to acquire cars, houses, vacations, to acquire clothes, to acquire things that we want, things that we need. We have an acquisition mindset. And when you operate from an acquisition mindset— I talked about this on Thursday— you're only dependent literally upon your energy, your ability. When we operate from access, from a vantage point of access, you understand you have access to God and the things that he possesses. Access to a possession. And we're going to deal with that a little today. So we talked about that. We talked about how in the kingdom, God is Adonai. He's the God that's— oh my God, he's a God that's more than enough. He's not just enough. He's not just enough. Glory to God. He's, he's definitely not, not enough. He is more than enough, and he has more than enough. And we found out that he's the Lord of everything, Adonai, that the earth is the Lord's, the fullness thereof, them and they that dwell there. And so one of the things I said very emphatically— hear me— on Thursday was that nothing you have belongs to you. It ain't yours, it ain't mine, it's his. As a matter of fact, even the things you want that you have not even ascertained they're also his. And the key here is understanding you have access to those things. And, and we talked about how access brings pride and pressure, and, and, and how, how ownership— I'm sorry, acquisition— brings that pride and pressure to keep what you got. And then we talked about how access produces peace and a perpetual space of provision, because once you understand you got access to it and it's yours you understand that that source is always available to provide. Most people that go to work, they show up at work every day because they understand if I linearly— if I exchange my time for this money, then that source is there. It is proven to be reliable. I'm gonna get a paycheck at the end of the week, end of the month, however you get paid. Here's a, here's a, here's a shocking a reality, ladies and gentlemen. The reality is, even when you operate in that natural realm and you think that that money is going to be there, because you don't own that, all right, and because you are employed and a value was placed on your time, once that employer decides that your time is not that valuable anymore he or she can dismiss you or fire you. Are y'all hearing this? So you might as well operate from the realm of access and be where God wants you to be. Start the business. God— I'm not telling you not to work. I'm telling you to— I'm telling you not to labor. I'm telling you to work. You got to work the works of him that sent you, which is Jesus, while it is yet day, for the night comes when no man can work. Secondly, we discussed of the problems with possession. How when you get things and how you have this illusion of ownership and how that brings one limitation because you become bound by what you own. It brings frustration, you get mad, you get— I'm not gonna teach these again. You start getting upset and angry because now you got fear of loss. And then you get this hoarding mentality because you got a mindset to protect stuff. You won't even use stuff because you got some good stuff. You won't wear it. You bought these nice towels, you hang them on the rack, you won't even wash your hands on them, wipe your hands on them because they pretty. Come on, man, listen, at the end of the day, that hoarding mindset— God blesses you with everything he blesses you with for you to use it. You got a nice pair of shoes, wear them. You got a good car, drive it. You got a nice house, live in it. Glory to God. You got money in the bank, glory to God, invest it so it can produce more and you can spend it and you can leave legacy to your children's children. You're not called to be a hoarder. Are y'all hearing this? Oh, I'm gonna get out of here. So, ah, God. So now I want to, uh, kind of tap into this access realm a little deeper today. Uh, again, I was gonna save this for tomorrow, but it just was on me and I had to get it out of me like right now. Glory to God. So again, so we've talked about access versus acquisition. We've talked about problems with possession, the illusion of ownership, and now I want to talk about, uh, really quickly, protection through perspective. I want to talk about lordship over lack. All right, so let's go to Matthew 6, uh, 25. We read that, but we didn't get a lot into it, um, when I was teaching it on Thursday, but I want go here to, uh, 6— I'm sorry, 6:25, and I'm just going to start reading there, and we're going to kind of break this down because I want you to hear something. And as I read these texts, I want you to listen what this man said. Jesus is the source. Say that with me. Say, Jesus is the source. See, in order to have access, you gotta believe that what you're assessing is real. And so it doesn't matter what I say this afternoon, if you don't believe that Jesus is the source, none of this matters. You're never going to access it. Let me give you an example. You got a key to your car, right? So when you go to drive your car, your key unlocks the door, it starts the ignition. But here's the reality: the key gives you access, right? You go to the car with the key because you believe that key is going to give you access to the luxuries of your vehicle, the, the ability to move from one place to another, right? So you unlock the door, you get in, you crank up the car in expectation to enjoy— oh my God— what your vehicle provides through access. Now, you would never go to the car with the key if you didn't believe the key gave you access. You would never go to the car with a key— watch this— if you also knew your car didn't work, okay? If you knew your battery was dead or your tires were on low, if you knew that something about your vehicle wasn't working properly, you would not even go to the car to expect that. Now, many people don't go to Jesus as the source of access and release and provision and kingdom economy. Because many people really do not believe— hear me, guys— they really don't believe he's a source. They actually believe more in themselves than they believe— oh my God, today— then they believe that Jesus Christ really is. Not just a euphemism, not just something we're saying with our mouth, Jesus really is the source. He is. So you go to your car with the key expecting it to work. If it doesn't work, you're not going to even go. Same thing with your home. You— when you come to your house, you unlock your door because you know you got a sofa in there so you can sit down. You got a table where you can sit down. You got refrigerator with food. You got a bed you can sleep in. You access it knowing that you're going to be able to enjoy what has been provided inside of the home. You have to understand that Jesus is the source, not the supplement. I'm gonna say that again. He is not a supplement. He is the source. Okay, so like vitamins you take— I take, I take vitamins daily, and my vitamins are supplements. Praise God, they are supplements to, to, to give me the micronutrients I need. Glory to God, that I may I get when I eat, watch this, food that is actually sourced with the nutrients. So if something comes up lacking, glory to the name of God, those, my, those micronutrients called supplements or vitamins, they make up what I do not get. They don't take the place because they're not the source. So I have, um, I partnered with a company called Juice Plus, so I take, uh, a, a vitamin that gives me all of my vegetables and fruits in those capsules, but they're supplements to the real. They're not— and even though they're sourced from real things, they don't beat the actual— watch this— source. Even in that capsule, they are pulling from the actual apple, the actual grape, the actual kale, the actual spinach. All those things are put in the capsule from the source. So again, Jesus is not a supplement for your— oh my God— acquisition mindset, for your doing it on your own. You don't call him in when you coming up short. See, that's how most people do. They pray when they come up short. They trust God when their acquisition energy or their acquisition efforts have not been enough. Oh wait. But you gotta trust him before then. Glory to God. Okay, so let's read this. 6:25. 6:25. Because I don't want to run out of time again, because I just love teaching this, because I want y'all to get it. Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. So 6:25, the Bible said, therefore I say unto you, take no thought, hallelujah, for your life, what you shall eat, what you shall drink, or yet for your body, what you shall put on. It's not like more than meat and the body more than raiment. So Jesus warns us now not to worry. Hallelujah. He's talking in these verses I'm reading, he's giving us a protection against stress, against sickness, against striving to acquire. Watch this. God is not against stewardship. He's not against you managing your life effectively, doing things the way you're supposed to do it. But what he is against is self-sufficiency. He don't want you to operate in this realm of self-sufficiency. So he's saying, look, don't— don't understand— don't worry about sickness, don't worry about stressing out, don't worry about striving. He says, listen, I got you. I'm the source, not the supplement. So I mean, to make a statement like this, to tell us not to worry about life— he said, don't worry about your life, don't worry about what you're going to eat, don't worry about what you're going to drink, don't worry about what you're gonna put on. He says, I I got you. Somebody type in the comments, God's got me. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. We give you praise, God. Somebody type it, God's got me. God bless you, Mother D. Good to see you. Good to see you. Glory to God. God's got you. I'm telling you, he's got you. He's got you. He's a source. He's got you. And you got to realize that. He said, don't worry about your clothing, don't worry about your food. And I'm telling you, when God takes care of you, he takes care of you well. Glory to God. Verse 26, let me read. He said, behold the fowls of the air, for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather in their barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. So he gives you an example of birds. Hallelujah. And how, glory to God, they don't work, they don't strive, they don't stress, but yet everything is there as a resource from the source for them to live on. No different than you and I. God has already provided what you need. Matter of fact, the scripture says that we have everything we need that pertains to life and godliness. You have— watch it— so he's already provided everything we need that pertains to life and godliness. Are we here? Oh, this afternoon, today, glory to the name of God. So God's got you. God has you. You're not in this thing alone. You're not in this thing by yourself. God has you for real, Alicia. He has you for real, Sharia. He has you for real, Mama D. He's got you. Glory to the name of God. And so he, he needs you to trust the fact that he's the source. He's the source. Verse 27, the Bible says, which of you by taking one thought, by worrying, can add one cubit to his day? So How can you add to what you need by worrying about it? That's basically what he said. So you're gonna sit there, scratch your hair out, worry yourself to death about what you cannot do, when Jesus said, hallelujah, he said, for you, oh my God, that he will supply all your need. Through Paul, he said it according to his riches in glory. So you need to stop scratching your head, you need to stop worrying about it, stop trying to fix it yourself. Oh God, and let God have his way in your life. Let God— hear me— get the glory shy. Shamande. Get the glory out of your life. Glory to God. God bless you, Psalmist. Glory to God. Good to see you, Jody. Good to see you all here today. Glory to God. Yes, God's got us. Hallelujah. And there's no weapon that's formed against us that can prosper. Glory to God. So he says If you worried about it, how in the world can you add to you? In other words, you can't take care of it worrying about it, so let it go. Watch this. And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin. And yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothed the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not not much more clothed you. Oh yeah, a little faith. Now I told you, this is where I want to get. You got to believe this. This is not a euphemism. This is not just something that gets us excited and good preaching and good teaching. Listen, you got to believe that God is your source. Listen, go mine, see I am. Your struggles, I promise you, will end the moment you build your faith up. That's why you got to hear the word. He says, oh ye of little faith. Watch this. Faith come by hearing, hearing by the word of God. How can you hear without a preacher? How can he preach except he be sent? The whole thing hinges on the fact of where you put your ear. You need to put your ear— instead of putting it to junk and garbage and stuff that entertains your ear, you need to put your ear to things that build your faith. Oh my God, this afternoon. So the preacher has to be sent, not— okay, not by himself, not for political reasons. The preacher has to be sent by God. And if the preacher is sent by God, you're gonna hear the word of God, and that word is going to build your faith. And your faith is going to get stronger. See, the reason why you struggle with God being the source, because your faith is not being built. You're too busy trying to acquire. You working on Sunday when you ought to be sitting yourself down somewhere. Oh boy, here we go. I done hit— I done hit something. Glory to God. You, you should be sitting down somewhere trying to hear the word. You, you're going to picnics and cookouts on Sunday when you don't have no faith. You don't know that this is real because your faith is low, because you don't— and then some of you going to hear preachers who are, oh my God, are not really sent. They just— they could be very good at what they do, but they're not sent for you. And they teaching you motivational messages on how to keep your blood pressure down and, and how to relax and how to keep your mental health intact. Listen, you need the word of God. Hallelujah. That's gonna build your faith. Oh my God, oh my God, are we here today? God bless you, Bruce. Good to see you, man of God. Hell yeah, we give you glory, God. We bless you, God. We honor your name, we honor your name. So I want to say it again: Jesus is a source, not the supplement. He's not the supplement. You don't add him in to your pursuit of acquisition. He's the source. Wait a minute, let's keep reading. He said, therefore take no thought— don't worry— verse 31, saying, what shall you eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithal shall we be clothed? Verse 32, he said, all these things do the Gentiles seek, for your heavenly Father know you have need of these things before you ask. Verse 33, but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness— we dealt with this Thursday— and all these things will be added. So wait a minute, I should be pursuing the kingdom, the King, his kingdom, his resources, his authority. Zetaio in Greek, zito. I should be going after the things of God, and the Bible says all these things will be added unto me. Oh my God. You should be going after God's way of doing and being right, what he's established, what— watch this— what he's giving you access to. He said if you do that, his way of living, his way of being, operating in his kingdom plan, purpose for your life, he said everything else will just be added. You got to pray about a car when you're going after him because he said, I'll just slip you a car. You ain't got to pray about it. I'm just gonna add it to your pursuit of me. So that means you stop pursuing the things and start pursuing him. Remember Thursday I told you the proof of desire is pursuit? You got to pray about somewhere to live because you pursuing God. He said, I just— I'll add you a house, I'll add you the down payment. Glory to God. I'll add you a million dollars to start that business, to develop that product that he gave you in your mind, and you don't know how you're gonna get the money. Pursue him, he has He knows where all of the resources in the earth are. Why? Because it's his. Psalm 24:1: The earth is the Lord's, the fullness thereof, and they that dwell therein. Oh my God, oh Shia, Oriamcia, Momontia, Tatakan, we love you, God. We give you the glory, we give you the honor. So watch verse 34. He said, therefore take no thought for tomorrow, for tomorrow will take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. Watch it. He said the evil is coming, so you need to stay focused. You're today worrying about tomorrow when you have access to all that Jesus had. Watch this. If the president of a bank said, I'm going to give you access to the vault that contains $20 million for one day, and as much as you could take out of the vault in one day— oh, glory to God— you can have. Well, I'm basically saying the same thing to you. I'm actually telling you, the person you got access to has more than $20 million. He owns everything, and you have access to him. Again, if that bank president— get what you're gonna do. That bank president said, you got keys to the bank, the vault is open, get— and you got 24 hours. You know what I'm gonna tell him? Man, look, I don't need but 4 hours. I'm gonna contract the largest Brinks truck in the city. I'm gonna be at the bank the moment he opened the door. I'm gonna hire the laborers to haul all the money out the vault, and within 4 hours I'll be $20 million richer. All I'm telling you, we got the same access to the resources of the kingdom. Oh, oh, he owns everything. Matter of fact, I see that in the spirit. The sky vaults of heaven are open, and God is saying, tap into this heavenly dimension of provision. We give you praise. God bless you, Vanessa. Good to see you. You got access, man. What you gonna do with it? Stop worrying about— he said tomorrow gonna take care of itself. Don't worry about embrace the promise of God and receive the access you have been given. I got to get out of here, man. All right, so, so that's— so what we start doing is, uh, through our perspective of what we have, we try to protect it. But we gotta, we gotta get a new perspective of lordship and how God removes lack when we embrace his lordship. So, so, so these verses are about lordship over lack. And anytime there is lack, I want you to hear me, you could be saved but not really accept the kingship, the lordship of Jesus Christ in his fullness And you really now are living beneath your privilege and operating in lack, and that is not the will of God for you because you're his child and he has everything. I got to get out of here, man. I gotta go. I'm okay. Let me, let me just finish this up. Here's the next one. So we, we got— y'all got it? Protection through perspective. Lordship over that. So, so God protects us from that. Through our perspective of access versus acquisition. Glory to God. Now watch this. I want to show you what provision through positioning look like. I want to show you how to go from labor to liberty. From labor— oh, from labor to liberty. Okay, let's go to Ecclesiastes 5:12. Ecclesiastes 5:12. Y'all with me? Y'all learning anything? Proverbs— watch it— Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon. That's where it is. Glory to God. Ecclesiastes 5, verse 12. And if you can't find it, please turn to the table of contents so we can move right along. Watch this. The Bible says the sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much. But the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep. Watch this, that's a powerful verse. Let me read this in another translation. It says, and this is the Good News Translation, it says, sleep is sweet to the laborer but restless for the rich trusting God's system. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Trusting God's system brings sweet rest and peaceful provision. So here's what this is saying, hear me. So when you trust God's system as a laborer of God, you have peaceful provision. You can sleep at night. But if you're rich and you know that everything you're producing is based on your efforts, you have anxious acquisition. What I'm trying to tell you is the favor of God can bless you so strongly in your business dealings, in your way of living, in your way of doing. Glory to God. Y'all stay with me. And being right— Lord, I just gotta step off camera for a moment. But God says he wants you to realize and recognize— glory to God— that if you trust him, praise God, he will give you sweatless victory. Are y'all here? Somebody shout that! Shout sweatless victory! Glory to God! That's what he wants to give you, sweatless victory. Sweat. I'm talking about victory that never has burden with it. Victory that you can sleep at night knowing that even though you built a successful business, it's not based on the works of your hands. It's based on the favor and grace of God that you were able to build that business, build that ministry. Oh my God, become successful at whatever you're doing. You could sleep at night and not worry about losing it because now you're operating, um, through a provision that comes from positioning. And you got labor, uh, that has been removed. And now you're operating in freedom. And you're operating in freedom, oh boy, because you realize, man, that God has you on his mind. And that his grace is forever sufficient for you. Hey, y'all, y'all here? Listen, the believer's position is one of trust, not of toil. So, so even in my working— and again, I'm not disdaining work, we got to work, we got to— I'm disdaining labor because work is any effort that is exerted mentally physically, or spiritually, that is a means to a permanent end. All right, labor, on the other hand, is any effort that is exerted mentally and physically, and oftentimes soulically— not spiritually— that's a means to a temporary end, which means there's no permanency in it. It's here today, could be gone tomorrow. But when we work, we're working on God's purpose, we're working on God's plan. We're working on God's desire and dream for our life. Hear me, family. So if you're a believer and you trust God, your position is one of trust and not toil. Let's see that. Proverbs 10, back up one book. I just want to show it to you. Proverbs 10:22, so you'll know I ain't making this up. It's in the Bible. Hallelujah. The Bible says, the blessing of the Lord maketh rich. And adds no sorrow with it. Okay, let's break this down. So the blessing— what's the blessing, Michael? Baraka in Hebrew, and it means, glory to God, the prosperity, the gift. Hallelujah! The peace of God. So the prosperity, the peace, and the gift of God makes rich. So what is the peace? The peace is the fact that he's in my life, that I have relationship with the King. Watch this. Peace is shalom. It's the presence of a sister. Us. So I got peace knowing that— is— so peace is not the absence of confusion, it's the presence of assistance. So I got peace in knowing, my God, that God is with me. Glory to God. Touch yourself and say, God is with me. Come on, say it. Say, God is with me. Praise God. We give him praise, we give him praise, we give him glory, we give him honor. We bless his great name. He said this blessing makes what? Rich. Asha in Hebrew, which means it makes you wealthy. It makes you— hallelujah— gain riches. It enriches. This is what this word means: your lifestyle. So how you live, you start living at a maximized level when you operate under the blessing. Which is the peace of the indwelling King, the assistance of the indwelling King. And as long as I am accessing him and seeking him and trusting him as my sole provider, the Bible said he'll make rich and he adds no sorrow. Estev in Hebrew, which means hardship, toil. Pain. Lord, help us. Y'all stay with me. As I was trying to correct earlier, the devil is a liar and he's a deceiver too. Lord Jesus, I'm here, y'all. Yeah, we was trying to stop that from happening. Glory to God. Y'all just stay with me. Glory to Jesus. Stay with me, stay with me. Just technical difficulty. Glory to God. Uh, look like we're still there, so praise God. Hallelujah. Y'all with me? Stay with me. Don't leave, don't leave. We here, we is here. Glory to God, we is here. Oh, just a little technical difficulty, just a little. Stay with me, stay with me. Glory to God, I appreciate y'all. So, so say it again. Said the blessing of the Lord makes rich and adds no sorrow. So I gotta be living under this blessing. That, that's the key so I can move from labor to liberty And I can help. Oh, how— watch this— provision through proper positioning. So you got to get in the right position so that the provision that's been ordained for you— Lord, I love you— can be made manifest in your life. Glory to the name of God. Yes, God, we give you the glory. All right, I'm almost through, I'm almost through. So, so, so what we— what have we learned so far today? We've learned about the problems with possession, the illusion of ownership. We've learned about protection through perspective, lordship over lack. We've learned about provision through positioning, from labor to liberty. And now we're going to talk about power in the pattern. So I want to, I want to create a contrast really quickly between commonwealth wealth versus competitive wealth. In a kingdom, wealth is common, not competitive. So in the kingdom of God, God prospers us based on what's in our heart, right? He blesses us because our heart is right toward creating commonwealth. See, we are blessed— watch this— the Bible says to be a blessing. And in a kingdom, and even in a natural kingdom, uh, it is a commonwealth. That's why you don't get to be a citizen just because you're born in a kingdom. Matter of fact, the king chooses the citizens based on stability, based on a whole lot of factors, uh, glory to the name of God, that make that citizen worthy of sharing in the commonwealth. Now The requirement Jesus has for us is faith, is a clean heart, a pure hands and a clean heart, and we can share in his wealth and understand that we do this through access. Ah, democracies— well, hey, watch this— reward opportunists. So people who are often looking for the opportunity, people who will do anything to get to the top, They'll lie, they'll cheat, they'll steal, they'll sleep with people, they'll do anything to get promoted. Glory to the name of God, because that promotion means more money. I'm gonna do what I gotta do to get more money. That's crazy. But democracies tend to reward opportunists, people who are just constantly looking for opportunity and really not going to keep any of the opportunities. That, that's a whole problem by itself— looking for doors open, looking for things to do, looking for stages, looking for platforms. And you get it, but you never keep it because your character doesn't qualify you to keep it. Oh, so you now, you bounce from stage to stage, learning, growing, maturing, because your character didn't qualify you to be on this stage anyway. Because your gift will open the door that your character will close. And that's why you got to mature your character. So, but kingdoms are different in that kingdoms award alignment. So when I align with God, God's plan, glory to God, and his fatherhood— hear me— when I lie as child to father, as son to father, when we align this way, we get access to what our Father has. And that's— and alignment means not that you just say it with your mouth, but you actually live, act, behave, think, believe like a child of the Father. There's nothing you can tell me. My dad, my daddy in the natural is my daddy. Glory to God, that's my daddy. No, nobody could tell me anything otherwise. Not even my mama. If my mama decides she won't tell me that ain't your dad, I'm not gonna believe her because there are too many things, glory to God, that I honor in him. Glory to God, there are too many things that he's uh, been to me in my life as a father. And I can honestly say he's my daddy. Yeah, and I share him with my brothers and sisters— my sister Tracy, my sister Serena, my brother Freddie. We share him as a father. He is our father. And here's what I know about my dad: he loves us all. He's a father to us all. He has no respect of person. He loves his children equally. Glory to the name of God. And I'm grateful to God for that. The reality is we get the benefit of being his children. We get his wisdom, we get his presence. Glory to the name of God. We get his favor. Glory to the name of God. Because he's our daddy. Where it's no different in the, the heavenly realm— first natural, then spiritual— God is our Father collectively. It. So I should be being blessed and you not. But if you don't align yourself as a son as I have, then you're going to miss the blessings of being a son. Same way in the natural. I mean, if I misalign myself as a son, I miss the blessings of what my father gives to me. Glory to the name of God! In wisdom and knowledge and understanding. Glory to God! In a righteous example of what a man should look like. I'm 55 years old and I still take notes from my dad. Glory to the name of God. He's a wise man. Listen, and if I don't align myself with him as my father, I won't get that. I won't get that. And, and with my heavenly Father, I have to be aligned. I have to be in place to get what he's saying. I gotta— oh my God, I gotta pray to him. I gotta talk to him. I gotta live for him. Wait a minute, y'all don't believe that? Now let me just show you the common access that we have, because again, kingdoms are a war alignment, and God wants to bless all of his children. He wants to give all of his children access to him. The technical difficulties ran a few of y'all off, but I'm, I'm grateful for the faithful that stayed. Thank you for being here. Glory to God. Uh, what happened was, and I'll tell you, I'm sitting in front of this amazing camera Glory to God, that decided, uh, it wanted to turn off. It turned off because I didn't have it plugged up. It was on battery power only. Glory to God. And I thought I had enough battery to get through this teaching, not understanding that I am extremely long-winded and that there was no way that was going to happen. So thank you guys for staying on board, staying with me. Glory to God. But listen, you got to get in line. Go to Matthew 6. Matthew 6. Let's, let's look at it. Matthew 6. I pray y'all learning. I pray you're getting something out of this. Glory to God. I'm trying to show you how to unlock kingdom economy because there's power in this pattern, man. You don't have to be, uh, in the rat race and have all this, uh, desire for competitive wealth. You have a Father that owns everything. You gotta have— you have a Father that owns a cattle on a thousand hills. You think he need those cattle? No, those— that— all that property and land and money and resources for us. You don't need that. Glory to God, he, he got here, he don't need it. He, he owns it for his children. And, and what we got to do is take our place and stop watching heathens get all of our stuff. Glory to God. Okay, I, I gotta get out of here, man. We give you the glory. We give you honor, we give you praise, we give you praise, God. Thank you, thank you, thank you, everybody. We bless your name, God. Hallelujah. Watch this, Matthew 6:9. The Bible says this, he says, after this manner pray ye— watch this— Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Wait a minute, right now, our pater in Greek. Glory to God. Our generator. Watch this. The word pater means ancestor. So the only ancestor I'm ever gonna pray to is our Father in Heaven. All of my other ancestors are dead, and you're ignorant. I said ignorant. I know exactly what I said. And you're ignorant if you're running around here praying to your dead ancestors. You're ignorant. There ain't no God in you. You. Glory to God. That, that's called necromancing, and that is not of God. Glory to the name of God. We don't deal with the dead. Matter of fact, Jesus said let the dead bury the dead. There's only one place for the dead is buried. And after that body is buried, those lost souls need to be dealt with by heaven. They are no longer our concern. Watch this. God is our ancestor. Oh, he's our great father. Who's— he's our progenitor, our founder, the one that has made life possible. And he owns everything, and he's given us access to everything he has. We just got to believe it and access it. Oh my God, oh my God, I gotta get here, I gotta get out of here. I gotta get out of here. Oh, our Father. And watch this, he has no respect of persons. He's just looking for somebody to call him our Father. He's a progenitor, he's a provider, he's a protector. Glory to God. And I don't have to compete because I got common access, the same access a wealthy believer has. You have I have. So we should not live beneath our privilege. I got to get out of here. Last one, last one, last one. How much time? What my time look like? Well, I'm out of time. I'm gonna have to finish these tomorrow. God knows I got some of it in today. I'll finish tomorrow. Listen, you and God are family. God and I are family, and he has exactly what we need. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you for this word this Saturday afternoon. I pray, God, that it is landed upon the good ground of every heart that has received it. I pray to God in Jesus' name that no weapon formed against us can prosper. I pray that the blessing of the Lord that makes rich and adds no sorrow would rest upon your people. I pray that we will leave the mindset of acquisition and that we will understand today that we have, hallelujah, a great principle laying before us where we can operate God in Commonwealth and we can operate God in a liberty and not a labor because we trust that you have us. So provide and make ways, God. We trust your economy. We unlock it. We move into and pursue hard your way of doing and being right, and we bless you for it now in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. God, I love you all. Thank you so much for joining us. Good to see you, Alicia. I haven't seen you in a while. God bless you. God bless you all. Thank you for joining us. We love you. Listen, the blessing of the Lord is so real, and I want to challenge you to operate under it. Glory to God. We will be in church tomorrow at 9 AM. I'm excited to be back home. I was out of the pulpit on last Sunday. Pastor Jeffrey Jasper preached, did a great job. I watched the message, preached a great sound word. Glory to the name of God. And I'm so grateful to have capable help, that when we leave, that there's someone or, or a group of people that can step up and be able to carry on in our absence. Listen, tomorrow is Mother's Day. I want to challenge you, bring your mother to church. We believe God is going to lay a special blessing upon the whole house. So come and get the word, come get prayer. Glory to God, come receive what you need from God. It's going to be exciting. So join us at Rhoda Church 410 Santa Fe Trail in Ellenwood, Georgia. I believe God's going to meet us there in a very powerful and astute way. Listen, if you desire to be a blessing to ministry, if these messages bless you, if these teachings bless you, the ways to give are scrolling at the bottom of the screen. Be a blessing to ministry. And Father, I pray right now for every person in advance that will sow into ministry today. Multiply their seed sown. A thousand times more. In Jesus' name, I love you guys. Y'all have a super day. Peace.
