Unlocking the Supernatural | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr.

Well, grace and peace be multiplied to you from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. My name is Apostle Mike Woods, and welcome to today's edition of Rod on Now. I'm super grateful that you've tuned in, however you're watching us, whether it be by podcast, whether you're on Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, whether you're listening to our podcast. I am appreciative. I value your support. I value your commitment to grow and matriculate in the things of God. So Welcome again. I'm super excited today to share this word, so I'm not going to take a lot of time with preliminaries today. I pray that everyone has been having a super day today. I want to drop this thing like it's hot. It's in my spirit. I want to give it to you, and I believe it's going to be life-changing for you on today. Can we pray? And as we pray, glory to the name of God, I want you to just come into agreement with me. That God would expand, glory to the Name of God, your desire and your passion for the supernatural. And God, I thank you in advance that as we touch and agree today, God, God, you're going to release supernatural provision in the life of every person watching. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' Name, we thank you today, God, for what you're getting ready to do. Father, this is the day that you have made, and God, we rejoice. Hallelujah! And we are glad in it. Father, do something unusual in this stream today, something man cannot do. Saturate our heart, saturate our mind, saturate our spirits with the things that pertain to you. Father, I pray that your word would go out of the way, that the weak would leave saying, I'm strong, that the poor would leave saying, I'm rich, that the discouraged would leave encouraged, that doubters would leave with faith, that the unsaved will leave saved, that those that need deliverance would leave with deliverance. Those that need healing in their body will leave with healing in their body in the name of Jesus. Father, we don't come with any pretense, any performance. All we come with today is passion. God, we come seeking the more of you. And I pray for every person in this stream, whether live or by replay. I declare, God, that Ashaya, mundekusku, umbriske, taramande dekoshke haya. I decree and declare today, God, hallelujah, that they will fall passionately in love with you and they will know you for real. And secondly, I thank you for the supernatural release of supernatural provision and the realm of superabundance in their lives. And I give you praise for it and glory for it in Jesus' name. Father, let us experience the light, the illumination, and the intelligence of the Holy Spirit today, and we'll forever give you praise, and all the glory and honor shall be thine. In Jesus' name, amen, and thanks be to God. Hallelujah. Well, you ought to clap your hands, open your mouth, and give God praise. Glory to the name of God, for indeed he is worthy. Listen, this is the day the Lord has made, and we We rejoice and we are glad in it. Glory to God. Listen, do me a favor before we get started. I need you to be kind to someone and share this livestream. Listen, let me tell you something. Many of you reach out to me, uh, rather by direct message or email, and you— some by text, people that have my phone number, they call and say, Doc, listen, these teachings are blessing my life. Thank you for sharing. And you, you have made me even the more motivated for making sure I get this content to you. But you know what? It's incumbent upon you to be a blessing. The Bible says we are blessed to be a blessing. So if it's blessing you, do me the favor, guys, and make sure you're blessing someone else. Glory to God. Well, we're continuing our series on Supernatural Provision. This is part 5. Glory to God. And I'm super excited to journey through the month of February on a day-to-day basis. Glory to the name of God. And drop these messages. So really, so Rada is the Hebrew word for dominion, right? And now, of course, you know what that means, right now. So dominion, management, control, supervision, authority, leadership, all of those things tie into the word Rada. It's dominance in your sphere of influence. So what we want to do with these teachings in the Rada Now, uh, session, we want to make sure, glory to God, that you have things that right now when you listen, you could take these principles, apply them to your life, and see immediate change, immediate manifestation of dominion in the areas where we're teaching. So this month we are focusing in on supernatural provision. Again, we taught it all last month. I had so much fun. So I'm excited again to continue this month. And today we're on part 5 and we're going to talk about unlocking the supernatural. We're not going to, uh, divulge so much in the provision piece today because I think it's important that we get some principle, right? Um, God is no respecter of persons, right? But he is a respecter of principles. So there are some principles that we need to understand as far as unlocking the supernatural. So again, that we're perpetually and continually in the circle of supernatural provision, and it never stops, it never cuts off. That things that we desire and need are consistently unlocked and released into our actual reality. In other words, we don't want to just be talking about this. We really want to see it happen, right? So again, today, this is part 5. And we're talking about unlocking the supernatural. Praise God. Hallelujah. And I want to start off, praise the name of God. And I'm— and then we're going to get into some scriptures, right? Because ultimately what I'm going to do, I'm going to give you basically 4 keys, I think 4, maybe 5, that will be very helpful if you begin to use them right now in unlocking the supernatural. Is that fair? I'm telling you, if you take these keys I'm going to give you today, that's why you don't need to scroll. You don't need to turn this podcast off. Listen to it because I'm gonna give you some keys today that you'll be able to use right now, today, okay? And literally bring change and cause dominion to manifest in your life today. This is real stuff, real deal, man. And so we're gonna teach this and we're gonna give it to you like the Lord gave it to us. All right, so let's look at some etymology first. Let's get some working definitions of couple of words. Again, we're talking about unlocking the supernatural, so I want to get a working definition of the word unlock, right? Then I want to also get a working definition of the word supernatural so that we can work through these, through these definitions throughout the teaching, okay? So let's look at this word unlock closely. It literally means to undo something that is locked. Right, by using a key, a password, or another form of authentication to access— hear this— the full functionality of whatever is locked. I'm gonna say that again because it just needs to be heard, and I wanted to get in your spirit. I don't want to just get right here. I want this to get in your spirit. The word unlock Unlock means to undo something that is locked by using a key. Come on. A password or another form of authentication to access. Here's what I love about this definition. The full functionality. Come on now. Of whatever is locked. Now keep that in mind. Stay with me. Let's look at the word supernatural. All right. The word supernatural is a manifestation or event that is attributed to a force, a deity, or a divine— hallelujah— encounter or law of nature that is beyond— watch this— our intellectual ability to comprehend. Wow. I'll say it again. Supernatural means a manifestation. So when something manifests, it actually comes forth. You can see it. It is revealed. You can engage it. Hear me. You can interact with it. Oh, oh, you can use it for your benefit. Come on. It's the manifestation, astiz, or an event that is attributed to a force that is beyond scientific understanding, that is beyond the force of nature that is beyond the comprehension of natural intelligence. Wait one minute, Michael Woods. So if you put those two things together, we're talking about unlocking the supernatural. We're talking about undoing the supernatural or undoing a manifestation or events or encounters or forces or deity that is beyond our scientific comprehension, that is beyond the law of nature, that is beyond our intelligent comprehension. So we want to undo this with the right password, with the right key, with the right authentication to tap into this realm. Hear me. Many people do not operate in the realm of the supernatural. Hear me, because I want you to grab this. They do not have the right keys. They do not have the correct password. They do not have the correct authentication. There are some accounts, uh, that I have certain things in that I even have to go beyond my password. I have to put in my username, my password, then I have to put in a third-party authenticating code that will come from a third-party app. And once I enter that code, it gives me access. So my password and my username is not enough. There's another level of authentication. I want to tell you something. Accessing the realm of the supernatural is going to require you to move— hear me, guys— in the realm where you're using the right keys to unlock the realms. Come on, that you've never tapped into before, of super abundance. See, and quite honestly, you won't be able to get into some of these dimensions with the same mindset, with the same keys you've been using. Watch this, with the same associations you've had, because some of the authentication and some of the keys that you need aren't— oh my God, oh my God, catch this— you won't be able to get them on your own. They are in other people. Oh. Oh, they are in other people who God put the key in, and it is his divine plan and destiny for you to connect with them so you can have access to the key that's in them. Listen, I, my wife and I both have keys to our house. There are times I leave the house and don't have my house key because most times when I'm driving the car, whatever car I'm driving, the key is separate from the house key. So I just go get in the car and drive. But when I'm not with her, that's a huge problem if I don't have the garage door opener and I don't have the house key, because there's no way I have access to the full functionality of my house. And there have been times I've had to sit there and wait for her or somebody show up that had a key to let me in because I forgot my key because she had it. Well, in the realm of super abundance and the realm of supernatural provision, there are people that have keys that you don't. In— watch this— in all things really that pertain to the spirit, there are people that have things you don't, and you got to connect with them so you can get the key. I don't have a problem when my wife shows up with the key, with her letting me in. See, the problem most of you have, you move in so much pride, you got to be the one to open the door. Listen, if it's a door I'm supposed to go through I don't care whether I open it or not. If you got the key, I'mma roll with you so you can unlock the door so we can go in. Are y'all catching this? Watch this. Jesus said to Peter, I give you the keys of the kingdom. Apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists— listen to this— entrepreneurs, I want you to understand something. Every gifting in the earth, every assigned gifting in the earth, which is all of us have an assignment in us, has a key. I have a key you don't have. Perhaps you have a key I don't have. But when we connect Whatever I have, I can unlock for you if you need to get in. Whatever you have that I don't have, you can unlock for me that I can get in. Oh my God. But there's so much jealousy and competition in the church that we are afraid of embracing other people. And insecurity— I know some pastors right now that literally need the help of apostolic authority and leadership to come in and help them move their ministry, their church, to the next place, to help them put pastoral leadership in place. They need prophets to come in, they need evangelists, but they are so insecure. And as a pastor, if they can't unlock it, they won't trust anyone else to help them unlock it. But here's the problem in the body. Many of you have been coming up against locks that you cannot open because that key is not on your key ring. So God gave Peter a key. He gave me a key. He gave you a key. We got to get all on the same key ring and get the key ring we're supposed to have in our life. So whatever doors we need to access, we never lack full functionality. Hear me? To get in the realm that we need to get it. Well, matter of fact, let me show you some examples of that, right? Let's look at some scripture. I'm not going to read this, I'm not going to even exegete this stuff, but let me give you some examples of unlocking the supernatural and what that looks like really quick. And then we're going to jump into the keys and I'm going to be through. I promise you, I'm going to be finished today. Well, so let me give you some examples. So let's, let's just walk through the Bible a little bit. So in Genesis 1 You have the example, the supernatural example of the creation. God sets the tone of what it looks like to have a supernatural key that unlocks something. So the creation of the world, God steps in and said, let there be light. And there was. Everything he created, he spoke it out of his mouth. Glory to the name of God. No physical labor. It was supernatural by the power of his words. Oh my God. Listen, we are creative. Because the Holy Spirit lives in us. So if God creates like that, well, there's a key in us that we need to tap into where we can unlock creativity. Hallelujah! That we can create things that'll make a MacBook computer look like a Tonka toy or a Lego block. Are y'all hearing this? Or that you can create something that makes a— the technology in a Tesla looks like a bicycle. See, you got to have that creativity that's in you used for more than jumping and shouting and speaking in tongues. Y'all not talking to me here, come on. But we create like God creates. Genesis 1, Exodus 14, the parting of the Red Sea. Moses had a key. Everybody around him was complaining. He stretched out the rod and he parted the Red Sea. I'm not going to exegete these because, God, I'll never get to where I'm going. But this was supernatural. The Red Sea didn't part on its own. He obeyed some instructions. Moses was a stutterer. He, he stammered in his speech. Oh my God, he was a frail guy. He had a stutter and a stick, but he did so many miracles with that stuttering stick because he knew how to access The supernatural. Now we don't have time. God knows I can get into this. Leviticus 9. I'm just walking through Leviticus 9. Yeah, Leviticus 9. The fire from the Lord consumed the burnt offering. So nobody poured gas on the offering. No natural things happened that we could scientifically comprehend. The burnt offering, the offering was placed there. Fire came from the Lord. According to scripture. We believe the word, right? And burn the offering up. I heard a preacher say one time— yeah, glory to God— and he was making joke of a deacon. As a matter of fact, I was actually sitting in the pulpit next to this preacher. The deacon was on the floor praying for the offering that had just been received. And you know, I couldn't really see this deacon's glasses The deacon was wearing glasses, right? And, uh, the preacher leaned over to me and he said, 'Woods,' he said, 'Look at the deacon glasses.' I was a guest preacher about to preach. He was with me serving as an armor bearer, and this man is up here joking. You know he got rebuked, right? But it was funny. It really was funny. He said— he leaned on me, he said, 'You see the deacon's glasses?' 'Woods,' I said. No, I really can't. He said, look, they're so thick that if sun caught those glasses, it would set that offering on fire because they're so thick. Like, um, and you know, I, I couldn't laugh because I was trying to stay focused, but after I found that to be so funny, I laughed at it, then I rebuked it. Listen to me, God didn't need a magnifying glass to set it on fire. The, the fire came from heaven, supernatural. Beyond scientific understanding. Numbers 22, watch this, Balaam's donkey, hallelujah, speaks. An animal that doesn't speak, God speaks to the prophet Balaam through the donkey. Let's keep moving. Joshua 6, the walls of Jericho fall down. Supernatural act that was unlocked through obedience to some keys, come on. I don't have time. I don't have time, y'all. I could get into that. Oh my God. Supernatural. Judges 2. Hear me. Judges 2. Yeah. The angel of the Lord appears to Israel. Now, the angel of the Lord was said to be the Lord himself when he came down in the form of an angel. He was— he took on angelic form and he would come down and he, he was the angel of the Lord. All the angels belong to the Lord. So it wasn't just one angel that was the angel of the Lord. This actual angel of the Lord was God himself appearing to Israel in angelic form. That's powerful, man. 1 Samuel 5. Oh boy, oh boy. 1 Samuel 5. Are y'all hearing this? 1 Samuel 5. I wish I was here. Supernaturally, the god of Dagon was overturned. I had to get to it so you can— so I can see it. Listen, because I want to tell you the right thing. That was supernatural. Dagon ruled. But Israel was able to defeat him through supernatural keys and accessing the supernatural provision of God. Oh my God, I'm trying not to preach, man, but I feel it in my spirit. Glory to God. Job 32:42, God speaks to Job from the whirlwind. He actually was talking to Job from inside in the midst of a whirlwind. Supernatural encounter. Can I tell you something? These things are not limited to Job. Glory to God. Samuel. Daniel. Oh my God. These things are available to us only if we use the keys. They just use keys. I just pulled out some of the keys and I'm going to break them down for you as we teach. But I got to just show you these. In Isaiah and Ezekiel 1, oh boy, they both have visions with the eyesight of God's glory. They literally see what their eyes and their brains and forces of nature cannot comprehend. And watch this, they have full access to the functionality of it. Daniel 3. 3 Hebrew men, not boys. Study the scripture, they were not boys. 3 Hebrew men were delivered from a fiery furnace. Jonah 1:17. Here's the miracle in this story. God prepared a fish. To swallow Jonah. So it's quite possible that a whale could swallow you, provided he don't chew you to death. But if he straight swallow you, it's quite possible for you to survive inside of his gastronomical system for 3 days or more. That's not the miracle. The miracle in the story is beyond scientific reason. God spoke to a whale, pulled a whale in the sideboard and said, hey, I got a rebellious prophet that's going to be coming through here. He's going to get thrown overboard. When he does, you swallow him. Don't kill him, don't chew him up, but just swallow him whole. That's the miracle. God prepared the fish. He talked to him about working with him, a mammal, and chastising his prophet. Ah, Luke 2, the angels, actual angels appear to the shepherds. Listen, a lot of these things I'm reading, I've had encounters like this especially this one. Angels have appeared to me on so many occasions. Some of y'all said, was you crazy? That's because you're religious and only thing you do is scroll Facebook all day. I'm sorry, but this stuff is real. The reason I can't believe what some of y'all famous preachers are teaching, saying that God is a rock, God is sun, God is the grass, and it's got some of these people literally crazy, is because they never tasted Miska, Brumski, Tamandi. The heavenly gift. They never were once enlightened. The Bible said when you partake of the heavenly gift and you are once enlightened, it is impossible for you to turn away. I can't turn from this because I know it's real. I have heard the voice of God. I have seen visions of God, visions of heaven. I have encountered angels Constantly. Listen, especially in high services where the power of God is flowing prophetically, streams are open. I'm getting all kinds of visuals from heaven. Angels flying around, angels assisting me in ministering to people, watching angels enforce the covenant of the word and heal people. I've had these encounters. Jesus. John 2, Jesus turned water into wine. Supernatural. He eliminated the need for grapes and took water and turned it into the purest of wine. Oh my God, I gotta go. Acts 5, verses 18 through 20. We're gonna look at this a little bit today. Angels, not God, angels sent by God release Paul and Silas from prison. Listen, let me tell you something. While I'm teaching this, I dare you open your mind. I dare you prepare your heart and your spirit. Glory to God. To experience something other than noise that's coming out of you in prayer. Ooh, ooh. To experience something other than you screaming at God, but to move into a deeper in— oh my God— encounter with him that's intimate, that's up close, where you see the heavens open for you. Glory to God. Where you experience God's His power and His grace, and you feel His love. You hear His voice. You encounter angels. Lebaye! Brunske labandosko rabansi ki. Jesus! Huramama mandadabo se. I got to go, man. God. So let's jump into these keys. So we're talking about unlocking the supernatural. The first key today, is the key of a renewed mind. This is key because I know some of your mind need to be renewed because some of the stuff I was just testifying to you about with me and even in the scriptures, some of y'all was like, uh-uh, that can't happen, that ain't real, because you're religious again. You, you don't know the Bible as a living book. And you don't believe the Bible totally for real. So you think that the supernatural is something that is abnormal because your mind is not renewed. Let's go to scripture. The Bible says in Romans 12, verse 2, that's key number 1 again, is a renewed mind. Romans 12:2 says, and be not conformed. Let's stop right there. And be not conformed. Pros and cons, right? Cons are against, pros are for. So the apostle is saying here, don't be against your form. Your original form is in the image and likeness. You were formed from the dust of the ground. God breathed into you the ruach, the wind of God. Hallelujah! And you became a living soul. So your original form is that of a living soul. When Adam sinned, the— oh my God— man took on flesh and he took on death. He was a dead man walking. But when we receive Christ and the Holy Spirit into our life, we are regenerated with ruach. The wind of God now begins to blow afresh in your life. And now you have— watch this— access to the full functionality of the realm of the supernatural, of the realm of superabundance, because now you have become one with your Father again. Whoo! Lord have mercy, Jesus. So God says here, be not conformed to this world, this cosmos, the cosmopolitan system. Do not be conformed to the systems, the ways of the world, the culture of the world, the culture that the world presents to you as a way of living. Now watch this. This is why we— it is so important to be born again. And be regenerated and be baptized with the Holy Spirit. Because the Bible says we are born in sin and shapen in iniquity. So wait a minute. So, ooh, so when you come forth out of the belly, you're born in sin. The world's system is a sinful system. And I'm not talking about— when I say sin, what y'all thinking? See, all unrighteousness is sin. It ain't just adultery, fornication, lying, and cheating. No, all unrighteousness is sin. The word sin is harmesia in Greek. It literally means to miss the mark, to come short. So when you are born You're born missing the mark. What mark? The mark of God, the mark of his glory, the mark of his assignment, and the mark of his plan. You're born missing it. That's why you got to be born again. Come on now. Ah, ah, wait a minute. And harmisia cannot be dismissed from your life without metanoia. Metanoia is the Greek word for repentance. Repentance is a change of heart, a change of action, a change of mindset, a change of behavior. So again, repentance is not just you stopping adultery, fornication, lying and cheating. Repentance is also changing your mind and your worldview. Gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go. Listen, he said, be not conformed to these systems, the culture, the ways of working, the ways of living, the ways of prospering of this world, the ways of government. He says, but because if you do it, you're going against your form because you're born in sin, shaping. I didn't finish that verse in iniquity. So that means over time, whoo, the more you stay away from spiritual things and Watch this. Embedded in religious systems that call themselves godly because they are the church. They call themselves the church, but the church is the ecclesia, the called-out ones, those that have been elected, selected, and protected to defend the culture and the way of God. Oh boy, I'm trying to hold my peace and because I don't want to run out of here, right? Listen, he said don't be conformed to the world because you're going against God's operation. Watch this. When you are— oh, when you live according to the systems of the world, you are secular. Because the word secular or secular, which means to surround or section off or be against God. So secular ain't just listening to R&B or rap. No, that's not being secular. Secular is living your life. You can listen to gospel every day and still be secular. Oh God, you go to church every day. And still be secular because you never— you still have sectioned yourself off from the real realities of the realm of the spirit. Let me read this verse, man. I'll never get through it. So much revelation flowing. This stream that's over me right now apostolically is crazy stupid. I'll tell you, the heavens are open. It is dumb. Oh my God. To the, to the physical mind. Glory to the name of God. But this thing is flowing, man. He said, be not conformed to this world. Calm down, Michael. Calm down, sir. But be ye transformed. Wait a minute. So because you're born in sin, shaped in iniquity, you again, you have need through metanoia, repentance, to be transformed. In other words, you got to go back to your original form, which is ruach, where your life is blown and driven by the wind of God. See, it's a lot of people that have fire, but they don't have wind. Ha! Oh my God. See, a person that has fire and no wind, they're always consuming things. They're always experiencing encounters oh my God, watch this— inside of arenas where the fire is produced, but they don't have the wind that continues to fan the fire after they leave the church. So that as the fire is being fanned, when you leave the church, not only are you continuing to see manifestations of the sick being healed and prophecy coming forth and the dead being raised, but what you're also seeing is the wind blowing on your finances, blowing on your business, blowing on your natural progression of life. And now you're guided, oh my God, by the wind. Glory to God, because you got fire and you got wind. So he said, I want you to be transformed. Meta. Oh my God, there's so much revelation in this one verse. Oh, Jesus. Metamorpho, transformed in Greek, is what we get words like metamorphosis. So a caterpillar goes through a metamorphosis and becomes a butterfly. Once the— oh my God— caterpillar becomes a butterfly, listen, it is no longer considered a caterpillar. It is now— watch this— a butterfly. No longer can you reference it as a caterpillar. So when your mind is really transformed, once it expands to a certain place— see, my wife tell me all the time, ain't nobody ever gonna be able to take your mind back to the way it used to think because your mind is expanded so it ain't gonna never go back there. It doesn't even know its way back. See, your mind has to be transformed and renewed that it never wants to return to your old stinking thinking. And nobody can ever recognize or charge that thought process to you again. There's a lot of stupid stuff I did in my past. Stupid, just dumb, just immature, and didn't make no sense. But it's because my mind was not where it is now. I had gifts, I had fire, I had anointing. Listen, When I was in my 30s, I was traveling this country 15,000 miles a month preaching the gospel on the road everywhere with Donovan Thickpen as my musician. Glory to God. Traveling with Leon as my armor bearer. I was all over the world, man. God was doing something. I had a lot of fire and didn't have no wind because there were so many times I I dropped the ball outside of my assignment. You have to— you're just not honest enough to admit it like I am. But he— you gotta let your mind expand and be changed into another mind. Listen, if your mind change, your money change, because money is not currency, your mind is. You're only as rich or as broke as you think. My wife and I was at breakfast this morning and we were having a conversation about stock, and we was talking about some stock that— glory to the name of God— that— and I'm telling you something, Tesla is an amazing stock option, just gonna throw it out there free right now. And we were talking about Tesla and the growth that we're gonna see in it in the last 2 years as we continue you to buy this stock and invest in it, and how the bottom line in it can produce in 12 months a 6-figure salary just with a measly 2 shares. If you just had 2 shares and you worked them right. So listen, that's a whole nother teacher. I'm not getting into that. But we were talking and how— and just our mindset about how we think about money and how it's produced has shifted to a whole nother arena. Glory to the name of God. And I'm just grateful how since I have been in her life watching her mind matriculate, because this is a person that is getting ready to retire from an amazing position that she's had for over 30 years now, and she's doing— she does well. But at the end of the day, listen to me, her mind is unlocking in areas, glory to God, that she never thought about, and she's open to receive it. But watch this, once her mind goes there, it's not going back. It's renewed, it's transformed by the renewing of your mind. Watch this. That you may prove. So God says, I want to renew your mind so you can prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God. God says, I got something to prove, and I'm only gonna prove it through those whose mind is renewed. I'm gonna prove two things. No, I'm gonna, I'm gonna prove three things. I'm gonna prove the good will of God, which is bona in Greek, which literally means profitable. You should be living in the will of God that has you in profit mode. 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 wants to prove through you and I what's good. Secondly, he want to prove what's acceptable. See, when your mind is renewed Everything is not acceptable. Oh God, uh, you don't accept poverty as a norm when your mind renewed. You don't accept being broke as a norm, having debt as a norm, being sick as a norm when your mind— that's not acceptable to a renewed mind. That's only acceptable to a mind that's not renewed. I know you're saved, but on top of being saved, I need your mind renewed so we can see the acceptable, the good, and the perfect. That word perfect there in Greek is teleios, which means, or teleios, which means mature. The mature will of God. So a renewed mind is mature, and it lives in the realm of maturity and it manifests the mature will of God. Hallelujah. And it shows the world what the mature will of God looks like. Are y'all with me today? Oh my God. So a renewed mind, based on what we read, guys, is basically seeing things as God sees them. And thinking about things— hear me— the way God thinks about them. See, the renewed mind lives from heaven to earth, not earth to heaven. Are y'all hearing this? The renewed mind lives from heaven to earth. It pulls out of heaven supernatural, beyond scientific— I read all those things in the beginning— understanding what the will in heaven is and brings it into the earth realm so that it can be proven to mortals that God is real and he works through humans. Listen, the renewed mind accepts everything Jesus says as perfect theology. That's why these idiots— you got some very intelligent idiots running around here talking about God's in a rock, God's in— God's a tree, God is the sun, God can be anything— and, and refuting the words of Jesus, even even going as far as trying to say Jesus is not real. But the renewed mind, because it has been transformed, it has gone from being that caterpillar to a butterfly, it sees the supernatural as it is. So it takes the words of the Son and accepts them as perfect theology. So you may be saying Michael Woods, how do I renew my mind? I'm glad you asked. Our mind is not renewed through discipline and study. No ma'am, no sir, it's not. Our mind is transformed and renewed— hear me— through encounters with God. I'm going to say that again. Our mind is not renewed through discipline and study. Our mind is renewed and transformed through encounters with God. So you gotta make sure that your life is set up so daily you're having encounters with God. Daily I will worship thee, Lamb of God, who died for me, who extended endless mercy. Daily I will worship thee. Listen, worship is so important to daily encounters with God. So that's why you need some prime time with God. I'm getting ahead of myself. So that you can open up the realm so you can accept Jesus as perfect theology, so that you can be transformed through encounters. Listen, what encounters do, they allow us to see life through God's worldview. When I was in school, I learned a lot in my religious courses about worldviews and how they affect how people react to their particular culture and the god that they set up over that culture. And most of it is rooted again in discipline and study, uh, not so much encounters that come through relationship. But when you really have an encounter in God, you start looking at life the way God looks at life. That's a lot. Okay, let me keep moving moving. A renewed mind is clear that God will bring his dominion to earth to rule any and every situation. I'll say it again, a renewed mind is clear, it's got clarity, that no matter what situation you are in, that you— because you're in the circle of supernatural abundance that God will bring his dominion, authority, and power to earth to assist you in any situation you find yourself in. Woo! Hallelujah! The renewed mind is powerful. Listen, the renewed renewed mind— glory to the name of God— causes us to live in denial. See, this is a key to unlocking the supernatural. Now hear me, it causes you to live in denial. What do you mean, Michael Woods? See, when your mind is renewed, you know you have to deny the devil access to any area of your life. See, Oh my God, when that butterfly becomes a butterfly, it no longer goes back to the resources that kept he or she alive as a caterpillar. It depends on a whole nother level of nourishment to live because it's different. So when your mind is renewed, you don't allow the devil access to any area of your life. I decree and declare, those of you watching me right now, that access has been denied, that the devil no longer has access. That the devil no longer has access to your marriage, your finances, your children. I declare now, access has been denied. I dare you, type it in the comments: access denied, access denied, access denied, access denied. Come on, type it in the comments: access denied, access denied. Get it in the atmosphere. Access Denied. Devil, you cannot have my children. You cannot have my life. You cannot have my resources. You cannot have my stock portfolio. You cannot have— glory to the name of God— my dream and my vision. Glory to God. Access is— ah, I'm trying to keep calm, y'all— denied. Oh my God, oh my God. Listen, we deny the devil's access to our life. We don't deny his existence, because you got some fools out here again, some idiots who are saying there is no devil, and that's a lie in itself. I've cast out so many demons, for real. I have had encounters with demonic forces myself. Stood toe to toe with strongholds and principalities. The spirit realm is real. Shikaye, brunske labando rosh ki amaya. We don't deny his existence, we deny his influence. So again, a renewed mind causes us to live in denial. It causes us to deny the devil access to any area of our life. We do not deny the devil's existence. We do deny his influence. Jesus, orababakaya. Listen, the devil will try to access your life and your mind and break your confidence in God. That's why the scripture said the idle mind, or the unrenewed mind, is the devil's workshop. That's why you got to renew your mind, man. Oh man, I'm not gonna get through with this today. The renewed mind is key. It's key. It makes us aware— watch this— that we are the house of God. Let me— yeah, I'm not gonna get through. Let me just deal with that. See, when your mind is renewed, you know that the Holy your spirit is God in you for real, and that he lives in you. See, when we lose awareness— God have mercy— of the Spirit of God upon us and in us, we live different. When you lose that awareness that God is really in you, that he's really upon you, You live different. You live loose. Listen, everybody makes mistakes. Everybody has areas that they need to be better in. But when you got an awareness of God, it helps you to make adjustments. It makes you desire to do better. Oh my God, why, why, why is that so, Michael? Well, I'm glad you asked. It's because when you know God is in you, you want to please Him. And you want to have constant access to His supernatural provision. You want to have access to the supernatural realm of glory. Listen, everything that pertains to God is holy. His spirit is clean. He doesn't interact with unholiness. The very act of salvation cleanses us from all unrighteousness. But watch this, when you sin, you're separated from God and you need to repent again. That's why you ought to live in an open state of repentance, constantly repenting all the time, because you don't never know when you have sins of commission or omission. Omission. But the renewed mind understands that because it wants to prove what is the good and what is the acceptable will of God. I'm not done, but I gotta quit. The spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, God, I thank you for this Word today. I thank you that your people will be blessed by you and never impressed by me. I thank you that the grass withers, the flower fades, but your Word stands forever. I decree and declare today that no weapon formed against us can ever prosper, that we win in all things, God. We're the head and not the tail. I thank you, Lord, for the supernatural and how how real it is in my life. And I'm praying today for those that have listened to this live, that the supernatural will superimpose itself upon them now in the mighty name of Jesus, and that they will have daily encounters where they'll walk with you and become more like you and become passionately involved with your plan, your on a daily basis. I praise you for it in Jesus' name. Amen. And thanks be to God. Thank you so much for your time today. Thank you for listening. Listen.
