Waiting and Weeding | Dr. Mike Woods, Sr.

Well, grace and peace everyone. This is Dr. Mike Woods. For those of you who are uninitiated, listen, welcome tonight to our Thursday night Kingdom Bible study where we're discussing all things advancing the kingdom of God. And listen, we have been in this series entitled When God Win, you know, and it, it really is a bold audacity to have the unmitigated gall to say to God, when, God, when? Because God is a king, and you never approach a king— hear me— with demands. It's not in your best interest— come on, church— to approach a king with demands. Doing that is only going to create delays. So tonight we're plunging right into the heart of this. I'm not going to waste a lot of time. I'm so glad tonight to be in this seat. Uh, a couple of weeks ago, actually, to be approximate, on April 13th, uh, I suffered a heart attack. I had to go to the hospital. I was hospitalized. Uh, I have been since released, and I've been at home recovering. And listen, I got— I've got my strength back. God God is faithful. I'm so grateful for every one of you that prayed for me. And you know, life goes on. We're gonna keep moving, we're gonna keep building, we're gonna keep growing, we're gonna keep living our life to the max and enjoying life like God intended us to do, making sure that in everything we put our hands to, he gets the glory. So we're excited, uh, to be back in your presence. If you're just joining us, please by all means share this. But let's pray and let's go ahead tonight and jump right into the heart of this, because I believe, my God, that God has something in store for us in this 9th installment of this series, When God Wins. Let's pray. Father, in Jesus' name, I thank you tonight for the opportunity to share this word, and I pray to God in the name of Jesus that as we disseminate this teaching tonight that your people will be blessed by you and never impressed by me. Father, have your way. Do something unusual. Do something man cannot do. Father, I pray that you will saturate this stream with your glory, with your very presence. Father, I'm reminded of the scripture that declares, "You sent your word and it healed them." And so, Father, as your word goes out tonight, I pray that supernatural healing would superimpose itself upon the listener. Stitch us back up, put us back together. Heal our hearts, heal our minds, heal our soul, Father. Heal our finances, heal our families, God. Let healing happen even tonight for every person that is listening to my voice. And I give you praise and glory for it now, in Jesus' name. Amen. And Thanks be to God. Well, welcome tonight everyone to this teaching. Again, again, this is Dr. Mike Woods. For those of you who are uninitiated, and welcome. If you have not shared this yet, please go ahead and do it. Listen, we're going to dive right into this. I believe God has something to say to us that's going to be literally life-changing, literally revolutionary, and I believe we won't be the same. So please don't scroll, please share, stay with me, give me a few moments of your time tonight and I promise you, you're going to be blessed. Glory to God. Listen, we're continuing this series, When God Wins. This is the 9th installment of this teaching. If you missed any of these messages, please go back to any of our social media— YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, Facebook— and watch these messages again. Glory to God. Well, we're picking up in the part of this lesson where we were discussing the seasons of our our lives. And we basically share with you that we're going to unpack 4 seasons: plowing, seed time, waiting and weeding, and harvest. And many a times people don't want to go through plowing. We've already talked about that. They don't want to go through the time of seed time, and they don't want to definitely wait on God and weed out things that can't go. Most people want to jump to the harvest. They want it on demand. They want it fast. They want it quick, and they want it in a hurry. And I think that attitude— hear me, guys— lends itself, listen, to the society that we now live in. Most people want things now. They want it fast. They want it quick. And they want it in a hurry. Because you could pretty much get anything you want on demand. You can get gas on demand. You could, you could press a button on your app and get some gas. You can get food and brought to you from the grocery store on demand. You can get movies on demand, TV on demand. Pretty much anything you desire is at your fingertips because we're so connected and we can get it on demand. But I want to tell you something. God doesn't work that way. He doesn't move at our beck and call. He's not our errand boy. He's a king. Glory to the name of God. And he moves at his own discretion, and he moves in alignment, in accordance to the declaration of his will over your life. And watch this, a lot of times, family, the delays— thanks everyone that's coming in right now, keep coming, keep coming, and keep sharing. Glory to God. Hello to everyone. We love you. Thank you for being here. Listen, I need you to understand tonight— gosh, yeah, Lord have mercy, I feel Jesus already here. Listen, that you cannot— oh my God— command God around like he's, uh, your inferior. Matter of fact, you got to get the mindset when dealing with him. He's real. First of all, he is real, and he is your superior. You answer to him, not the other way around. I'm gonna say that one more time: you answer to God, he does not answer to you. All right, so tonight we're going to talk about waiting, and man, we're going to talk about weeding. You know, the last thing we left off with when we were talking about seed time We were talking about obedience, and let me start here. You know, obedience is the seed that brings in the harvest, and many a times, guys, our harvest is delayed. Hear me, because of disobedience. I'm gonna say that again. A harvest many a times is delayed because of disobedience. The Bible says them that are willing and obedient eats the good of the land. So the harvest follows obedience. So let me challenge your expectancy for a moment. You're sitting around waiting on God to bring you a harvest, but you have not plowed, which means you have not worked. You have not put in the time necessary to plow the ground. You have not planted seed. Not— and that's not just money. We talked about that in the lesson I talked about last time. You cannot reap a harvest in a field where you have not sown. You know, if you want to be an entrepreneur in a certain field, you got to sow seed in that field with your gift, with your talent, with your ability. You know, you can't reap a harvest in that field if you don't sow who you are and what you bring to that field, into the field. You got to do the work. Can't reap a harvest in a field where you have not sown. Hear me, guys. Secondly, when you understand that obedience becomes a prerequisite for harvest, you grasp the fact that there will always be a season— hear me— of obeying God in a greater way prior to a great harvest. Can I prophesy to you tonight? Many of you listening to me right now, I want to submit to you that God wants to bring you a great harvest in your finances and your family and your ministries. He wants to bring you a great harvest. I'm talking about without all the hype, without all of the, uh, stuff you do yourself to promote you. I'm talking about God supernaturally bringing you a harvest. See, a lot of times we can do things for ourselves and we got a big box of God stickers with his name on it, and we just stick his name on whatever we want to call him. But I need y'all to know, some of the things you think is God ain't God. But God wants to bring you a great harvest. Hear me, that's born out of obedience, not something you made up and you're calling in obedience. Some of you are operating in a deep realm of disobedience, and you're walking around expecting a harvest, and it's never gonna come. Everything is gonna be hard because the way of a transgressor is hard. A disobedient person that is an aggressor against God's transformational— his ability to mobilize and move you, you're aggressive against it. That's what a transgressor is. You're aggressive against the ways of God because in your mind and in your era, you believe what you're doing is God, and you're delaying your harvest. But if you want a great harvest, it'll always be proceeded. Listen to me, guys. I love you. I love you, man. By great obedience. Somebody type in the comments, I must obey. Yeah, I'm on— yeah, just type, I must obey God. I'm not talking about a man, I'm talking about God. And when you really get a real relationship with him, you'll understand that he's really God, he's really a king, and I really should obey him because he really has the power of life and death. He has the power to speak and I die. You have the power to speak and I live. He has the power to speak and I prosper. He has the power to speak and I struggle. So I might want to choose obedience and not excuses, um, and not the, oh, I'm just going to play the grace card right here. God, listen, the Bible says if you sin, you have an advocate with the Father. That is so true. The, the word that makes that verse everything is if. So as you live every day, you should be trying to avoid the if. And in your process of trying to avoid the if and stay in obedience, hallelujah. The Bible said you have an advocate if you fall, if you— harmisia in Greek, which is sin— miss the mark. I'm almost done, for real. So obedience precedes harvest. Psalm 126:5 says, he who sows in tears shall reap in joy. So when you sow in obedience, because sometimes being obedient will bring you to tears, man. Hoo-wee! I know God has asked some things of me that brought me to tears. There's something on my heart he has employed me to do, and the moment he said it, I started crying about it. But if I sow in these tears and obey what God is telling me the harvest will be, I'm going to reap in joyfully-yam. See, most people want to sow out of convenience. They want to give what feels good. They want to, uh, give that part of themselves that's easy, that's convenient, that's affordable. But sowing tears, the Bible said you reap in joy. Sheyar in Hebrew, profit. Ask a businessman to find profit, he's going to tell you what's left over after the expenses of the business have been paid and covered. So what do you want? You want profit? Hear me. Or do you want to be sitting around just waiting forever because of your disobedience? Listen, disobedience. Holy Spirit gave me this revelation earlier today in the meeting, and I shared this with someone. We were having a conversation about a person who is clearly operating in, uh, an area where the Holy Spirit is convicting them about something, but they're rejecting the conviction, which now that's disobedience. And what I said to them today, I said, in doing that, because they have the conviction from the Lord and they're operating in disobedience to the conviction. See, the conviction should lead to change. Conviction received brings about change. Conviction rejected— hear me— conviction that is rejected creates confinement. Oh, oh wee, oh wee. Many of you are stuck and confined and bound because the conviction has come to you. Because the Holy Spirit not only will give you the ability to see and speak in tongues, but it will convict you when you are out of line, when you are out of order, when you're hermesia, when you're missing the mark. Now, what you do with that conviction is going to determine whether you change and can become a change agent or whether you become confined. And I'm telling you right now, you're going to remain confined to that cycle through that course of events until you accept the conviction that— oh, shimaansiaya, brin sikiriri anso tokoshiya— until you accept the conviction and change. Otherwise you're going to stay confined. It's just like you go in a courtroom and you get convicted of a crime. Guess what happens when the judge sentences you? You are confined, and now you're under constraint to eat when the warden says eat, to dress how the warden says dress, to sleep when the warden says sleep. You are confined because you were convicted. And watch this, the recidivism, recidivism rate of prison is as high as it is, which means people get out and go back, is because they still didn't allow the conviction to change them after they got out of jail. Don't be spiritually confined or bound in your life. You could be walking around here saved saved and confined. Y'all ain't got to believe that, it's true. It's a lot of Christians saved and confined. That's why they're saved sick, can't get healed. Saved broke, can't get no money because they're confined. But let the conviction— hear me— bring about change. I got to get out of here, man. So let's get into this waiting and weeping. Waiting. So after obedience, watch this, we're going to enter into a season of waiting. And during this season of waiting, I want you to know God is still dealing with us. Hear me, he's still dealing with us. Glory to God. And he's in the dealings of God, what he's doing, he's teaching us, family. Listen to me, guys. He's teaching us one, his ways. Remember, the Bible says Israel knew the acts of God, but Moses knew the ways of God. And so the Israelites stayed confined to a pattern, a cycle in the wilderness for 40 years. They were God's people. But they didn't get into the promise. And see, I'm telling you, many of you don't realize that you're not in the promise because you're like the Israelites who in disobedience wandered in the wilderness for 40 years on a journey that should have took them 12 days by foot. Israel only knew the acts of God. The Bible says Moses knew the ways of God. So in this season of waiting, so that you can eliminate future delays. See, when you abandon the season of waiting, you abandon the opportunity to learn and the opportunity to avoid delays in the future on promises God has waiting for you. A lot of things are held up because of disobedience. Hear me, family. A lot of things are on hold because of disobedience. Let's get the obedience in line. Oh God, I hear you, I hear you, Father, I hear you tonight. I pray you're getting it, I pray you're getting it. Matter of fact, let's go to, um, Genesis 8:22. Let's read that. Genesis 8:22. Hallelujah. Says as long as the earth remains, hear me, it says here there will be seed. Listen to me, time. Oh boy, do y'all see that? And harvest. So seed, time, and harvest. So between seed and time and harvest, there's time. There's a waiting period where you're being processed, being qualified to keep, to handle the harvest. And also what is happening in this time, are you hearing me? God is teaching you how to keep the weeds out of your life. He's teaching you through his dealings how to keep those things out of your life that could be a hindrance to your process. All right, so you're not going to plow, sow seed, and then the harvest is going to pop up immediately. There's a waiting period. So you enter into a season of waiting, and in that season of waiting, you carry into it that spirit of obedience, the same spirit of obedience you exercise in the seeding, where you were planting seed with your time, with your ability, with your talent, with your treasures, and you keep being obedient in the waiting. Oh boy. And you don't give up, you don't quit. Matter of fact, go to Galatians 6:9 really quick. Galatians 6:9. Somebody type that in the comments. Galatians 6:9 says, be not weary in well-doing. For in due season, hear me guys, you shall reap if you faint not. Did y'all hear me? Be not weary in well-doing, for in due season you shall reap if you faint not. Hear me good, ladies and gentlemen. If you make up your mind, glory to God, that you're going to do well and you're gonna stay the course, glory to God, you can. Listen, he says, I don't want you to faint. He said, you, because in due season you're going to reap if you don't faint. Now watch this, the word due season means that that season is old. See, when something is due, it means if your light bill is due, it means you owe your light company company. If your mortgage payment is due, it means you owe the mortgage company. Y'all get it? When something is due, it means something is owed. Can I submit to you very apostolically tonight, in the authority heaven has granted me in these last two decades, can I submit to you tonight as an apostle in the Lord's church with governmental authority, there is a season that God God wants to present to you. Glory to God. There is a reaping season, glory to God, that's coming your way. Now you determine whether that reaping will be good, oh my God, or whether it will— it be bad. For God is not mocked. Whatsoever man soweth, that shall he also reap. So in your seed time, in your waiting, what are sowing? How are you obeying? What does your life look like? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. I don't have time. Listen, but can I tell you something? You need to be planting some good time, some good talent, some good treasure in the ground so that you have a good season that is old. Which— see, the reason some of the reaping ain't come, because you hadn't planted anything. Yeah, you're not doing anything. You're lazy, you're stuck, you're still, you're not proactive. All you want to do is sit around, complain and cry and be emotional, when that's not life. That's not life in God. Life in God is proactive. Life in God is very active, it's very verbal, it's very involved. It has a lot of moving pieces, and you got to get involved with your life so you could create a season, a good season that is due. He says— why he says don't be weary in well-doing. But if you, if you do things bad, and this ain't necessarily sin, come on now, because you could be living life wrong and living it in a bad way and reap the wrong harvest. You know, you could keep hanging around the same trees, trying to hold on to stuff that God's trying to take, stuff you know you need to let go. Listen, let go of that. Listen, some things are in your past for a reason. Your ex is your ex for a reason. It's over. You stop trying to go back to that. Listen to me, it's over. Glory be to God. Bury your past before it buries you, please, because it will kill you. Some of you are spiritual necrophiliacs. You keep plowing in yesterday. A necrophiliac is a perverted, nasty, terrible individual. And the way this society going They'll try to justify this too, but this is a nasty person that has sex or intimacy with dead bodies. Can I tell you something? You need to stop sleeping with dead stuff. You need to stop sleeping with stuff that has died. Oh boy, you need to stop going back to something that's over. It's over, let it go. Because you want to be consistent in well-doing. The Bible said don't faint. Fainting is giving up. Don't give up on doing the right thing. Do the right thing. Glory to God. There's some things that will cause you to faint. Listen to me, listen to me good. There's some stuff that'll cause you to faint in the natural— first natural, then spiritual. He said, don't give up, don't faint. Glory to God. Oh, just type in the, in the comments, guys, I cannot faint. Come on, just type it. I can't faint, I can't quit, I can't give up. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. I'll tell you, you cannot faint, you cannot quit. One of the things that will cause you to faint is malnourishment, not eating enough. How about being dehydrated? I mean, these things— these are two things, and I just want to harp on these really quick, that will cause you to faint physically. So if you're not eating, you'll faint. If you're not drinking the right liquids that hydrate you— not Cokes, come on— and you're not getting electrolytes, glory to God, you can become dehydrated and you can faint. So you got to eat right and you got to drink right so you don't faint in the natural. Well, I want to say that to you in the spirit. You need to eat right and you need to drink right. Glory to God. So what are you saying, Michael? You need to be sure to eat the word. Now, some of you right now getting tired of this teaching, but you need to be eating this like food to your spirit so you could be— oh my God— consistent in well-doing. Eat the word heard, eat the word read. Just like you have a craving and a ruthless vengeance for food, you should wake up every single day and have a ruthless vengeance for the word of God. Hear me, guys. I'm telling you, I'm almost done. Stay with me, stay with me. Oh my God. Eat his word, drink his presence. Type that in the comments. Eat his word, drink in his presence. Oh my God, not in his presence, I'm sorry, drink his presence. Drink him. Let him be the thing that hydrates your spirit, that energizes you, that motivates you, that give— that let him be your very source of life. Drink his presence. Watch this. Jeremiah said, he said, I found your words and I did eat them, and they were the joy and the rejoicing of my heart. Oh my God, eat the word, guys. You got, you got to get in that book and find that word that feeds your soul. Stop scrolling so much. You know what the most used— oh my God, are y'all ready for this— app among Christians? Are y'all ready? It's Facebook, second to TikTok, third Instagram, fourth YouTube. Now that says a lot that YouTube is fourth. Because these other platforms are going to prevent a— present a lot of short-form posts, pictures, videos, where you can actually go to YouTube, find some word, watch it, and eat. Yeah, but what we're doing is scrolling. But honestly, the most used app in your phone, if you don't have a paper Bible, should be your Bible app. And I wonder if you read the Bible on your phone or tablet, if you check your screen time at the end of 7 days, which app got the most activity? You ain't even got to answer that. I already know, cause when I look at social media, I see you everywhere, cause you ain't got no life. Cause all you do is show up on everybody's post, commenting on everything, posting everything you think about, liking everything everybody else say, cause you're scrolling. Read your Bible, eat the word, and you'll find joy. The Bible said this word became the joyfully-yam, the shea, the profit. Again, 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. Listen, you eat the word, the word is going to start showing you ways to become profitable in your walk with God. To have more peace in your life, to have more love in your life, to have more finances in your life, to— oh my God, to have more solid relationships in your life. Eat the word. Type in the comments, it's time to eat, it's time to eat, it's time to eat. God. Oh, oh my God. Oh yeah, I ain't dead. I know they thought I was dead. I'm, I'm yet alive. Glory to God. I ain't going nowhere no time soon, promise you. Glory to the name of God. Hallelujah. This word keeps us from fainting, man, especially while you're waiting. Get in that book so you can wait with hope. Glory to God. Watch this. Jesus said— here we go— if any man is thirsty Let him come to me and drink. So if you thirsty, instead of drinking from everybody else, are you hearing me? You gotta decide, hear me, that you're going to come to him and drink. I'm running out of time, guys. Glory to God. I got to get out of here for real. But hear me when I tell you, Jesus says don't look for all these other entities and resources to satisfy your thirst. Don't look to your flesh. Don't look to outsiders. He said, I'm on the inside. Drink of me. Consume me. Let me energize you. Mm, listen, eat the word, drink Jesus. I'm gonna say that again: eat the word, drink Jesus. Hallelujah. Here's what I know, guys, and I'm getting ready to close. How you wait, right? How you actually engage waiting. I may not even get to waiting tonight, but how you engage waiting, it's going to determine— listen to this— whether or not you'll be able to wait for the harvest. What do you mean? 'Cause if you wait the wrong way, you're never gonna see the harvest. So I wanna give you some principles really quick and I'm gonna be outta here. And we, we'll talk about the other part of this later on waiting the right way. Remember tonight we're talking about waiting and waiting. So I wanna talk to you about waiting the right way. How you wait is important. How you wait is so very important. It. First thing you got to do, you got to wait patiently. What does that mean? That means you're not frustrated and upset all the time. Most of the time, people who are waiting on God, they end up at some point getting frustrated, getting upset, taking matters into their own hands. They become very hard people to deal with. They become nuisances to the nuances to the people around them. Hear me, hear me, because they ain't waiting right. Hallelujah. But you got to wait patiently. Hallelujah. They that wait upon the Lord, he shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with wings like eagles. They shall run and not be weary. They shall walk and not faint. Wait, I say, on the Lord. Wait patiently. Hallelujah. Number 2, you gotta wait expectantly. So don't just be waiting not believing that something's gonna happen. You gotta wait with hope. That when you're waiting expectantly— you think about a woman that's pregnant, she's waiting for that baby in that third trimester. I mean, the expectation, the expectancy is higher than ever. Oh my God, she's waiting to see that face. She, she's feeling kicks like never before. There's an expectation that is aroused that's greater than when she first started the journey. Can I tell you something? When you're waiting on God, you got to get a clear picture of what God promised or what he said in his word. While you eating that word, he gonna bring to you. Keep planting, keep being obedient, and expect that harvest. You got to know the book is not just some fairy tale book. If God said it in his word, he is going to do it. You got to expect it. You got— listen, I've been confessing it and it's going to happen. I am going to be a billionaire, and I declare and declare it every day. I am a billionaire. I decree and declare that I am an employer. Glory! I am a paymaster. I could— and as I decree these things, these things unfold. These things begin to happen. Ideas and innovations and opportunities open up. What are you decreeing? What are you expecting? What are you sowing with your mouth? Ooh, number 3, I gotta go. You gotta wait with a positive attitude. Get all that negative out of your mouth. Stop saying stuff like, oh, it just— on this day you killing me and I'm tired enough. Just stop rehearsing your situation with your mouth. Rehearse the hope. Rehearse the word. Rehearse the word that contradicts where you are. If you're broke right now, start saying, I am never be broke another day in my life, because the word of God says that he would that I prosper and be in health even as my soul doth prosper. So I decree and declare that my soul is prospering. My mind, my will, and my emotions are prospering in the in worship, in prayer. And I decree and declare, I'll never be broke another day in my life. Then I have plenty of money to give away all the time, and I don't lack a thing, neither do I have a care, because the Bible declares that the Lord is my shepherd and I shall not be in need. And the Bible also says that he would supply my need according to his riches in glory. So you start rehearsing Listen, when I was having this heart attack, man, I started rehearsing the word of God. I was confessing it to the hospital. I was saying it while I was laying in the hospital bed. With his stripes I am healed. I will live and not die. That declared the works of the Lord. Glory to God. I started speaking to my life that which was, and I'm here today, 2 weeks later. Teaching the word of God. The very thing that I ate, the very thing that has given me life. Glory to God. You got to speak in direct contradiction to your circumstance and have a positive attitude. Number 4, and I'm done. Listen, number 4, you gotta wait expecting God to bring the harvest. Hear this, you gotta wait and expect God— listen to what I'm saying— to bring the harvest. Do not look to man. Oh, if you look to man— and I'm closing my Bible— you will be disappointed. And that, my friends, is what will cause you to fail. You can't put your confidence in people. You can't put your confidence in man. You have to look— and I hear somebody say, oh, we're human, we got to have people. Not really, not really. You need people to fulfill purpose because you need a system to help bring the purpose to pass. But you need the people that God designed to work with you, but you don't need people to bring harvest into your life. All you need is God. Ask Elijah at the brook. Glory to God. I'm telling you right now, ask the Israelites even in the wilderness wandering. God has the ability to supernaturally take care of you. So expect God and however he chooses to bring it. If he chooses to use a person, great. But if he chooses, glory to God, for you to wake up one morning and walk out in your backyard and there's a huge 100-carat diamond just sitting in your yard, glory to God, and he says, I'm just supernaturally blessing you with this so you could do what you got to do, then he can do that. So what I'm saying to you, you cannot discount the supernatural ability of God. I've seen him do it so many times, man. I've seen times, uh, in churches we planted where— I've seen times where we couldn't meet budget, didn't have the money to meet budget. I didn't know how we was going to meet budget. I never told any of the staff, I never told anybody. We just did not have what we needed to take care of people the way we needed to do. We just had had a meeting And we had musicians that needed to be paid. We had speakers that needed to be paid. And I knew the conference was coming to a close. And just to watch God in a matter of hours supernaturally fill the bank account with not only what we need, but a thousand times more than that. Just by using one person that wasn't even at the country— I mean, in conference— and wasn't even in the state, that picked up the phone and said, I am led to bless your ministry with this seed, and I was gonna give it to somebody else, but I'm gonna give it to you. God can work supernatural miracles. Let's pray. Father, we repent of our sins. Of doubt and fear and not being patient and not waiting on you as we should. Father, I'm asking you today to release the spirit of waiting, of patience. And I pray, God, that we will be consistent and we won't be weary in well-doing, but we'll be consistent in well-doing so we can reap in the season that's owed to us, that we we can get good seed in the ground so that there will be a due season. I release the due season anointing, the due season mindset on the people that are under the sound of my voice, that they will sow and they will reap good things. Their families will be blessed, their businesses will be blessed. Oh my God, their careers will be blessed. I decree and declare it, that you will overtake them with a abundance. And I say it is so in Jesus' name. Amen and amen. Listen guys, I love you with the love of the Lord. Thank you for joining us tonight. I pray this message has been a blessing to you. Listen, I need every person on the sound of my voice. We haven't been on for several weeks, man, and I appreciate all of those that have remained consistent in giving, whether you are a member of Rodder Church, whether you're a partner of this ministry. I really appreciate over the last 2 weeks the seeds you have sown. But I need every person tonight. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but the Lord is saying give. There's so many times I have made this challenge on a Thursday night and literally no one planted a seed. But tonight I need you to make this different. I need you to trust God. I need you to get something in the ground so you can wait on a harvest that's old. I want you to pray about that seed and I want you to sow it tonight. I don't want you to tarry. I want you to sow and I want you to trust God. Amen. So Father, bless every seed a thousand times more in in Jesus' name. The ways to give are on the screen, somewhere in the comments, or in the caption. You'll find the ways to give. I love you guys. Y'all keep me in your prayers as we continue to do what God has called us to do and continue to walk out our recovery. Glory to God, we're healed, we're here, we're alive, we're well. The doctor has, uh, said, listen, you're good, man, and I'm grateful to that. But I need you to just continue to pray that no weapon formed against us will be able to prosper. I love you guys. Y'all be blessed. Peace.
