WARFARE & WORSHIP 25 | APOSTLE BRANDON CORNELIUS | 31 OCT 25

The video captures a live worship conference titled “Warfare & Worship 25,” led primarily by Apostle Brandon Cornelius and co‑hosted by Pastor Jeffrey and Prophet Shannon. The session blends high‑energy worship, prophetic declarations, and a lengthy sermon that argues worship must be authentic and rooted in truth rather than carnal entertainment. Cornelius warns against the allure of secular beats that trade the soul for worldly appeal, emphasizing that true worship creates divine realms, prunes bitterness, and aligns believers with the blood of Christ. He connects worship to spiritual warfare, citing biblical examples (Cain & Abel, David & Saul) and introducing concepts like “violent worship” and “pruning” to combat inner chaos. The teaching transitions into a practical segment on prophetic decrees, where participants recite detailed curses‑breaking prayers and declarations of protection, health, and provision. Pastor Jeffrey then stresses the economics of giving, framing generosity as a sacrificial act that unlocks kingdom harvest, and urges the audience to give cheerfully and strategically. The latter part of the video outlines upcoming workshops (demon casting, weapon of worship, spiritual “air traffic control”), logistical details for future sessions, and promotional mentions of Apostle Cornelius’s forthcoming books. The overall narrative moves from theological exposition to personal empowerment, communal prayer, and a call to action for financial and spiritual investment in the ministry.

Lift your hands, everybody in this place, and just begin. Worship is demonstrative. It means you have to do something. I said it last night, I'll say it again. Anybody can praise. The scripture says, let anything that has breath praise the Lord. But them that worship has to worship in spirit and in truth. I want you to lift your hands and just close your eyes and throw your head back for a moment. And I just want you to say to the Lord, say, Lord. Whatever you have for me, I receive it tonight. Say, pour it out. Say, pour it out on me. And as you pour on me, I will pour myself out on you. I will pour myself out like a drink offering.

I don't know about you, but that song is my prayer.
I With all that God has done in my life, I yet long for more. I'm yet not satisfied. I yet need the more of him. I need him to overwhelm my mind, my heart with more of him every single day. I wish I had a few believers that wanted more. I'm not satisfied with good church and good singing. I'm not satisfied with religion. I'm not satisfied with just calling myself a Christian or an apostle in the Lord's church. I want more of him. I want more of him. You can have the money, you can have the titles, you can have everything God has done for me, but I want more of Jesus. I wish I had two people that wanted more of God to just open your mouth. If you're tired of the norm, you're tired of what is usual, open your mouth and cry out to God. Sing, more, more, Lord, give us more, give us more of you, of you.

Who is the King of Glory? He's the Lord strong and mighty. The Lord mighty in battle. He is the King of Glory. Let his glory heal you tonight. Let his glory liberate your mind. Let his glory change the trajectory of your very life. Lift up your heads, oh ye gates, and be ye lifted up. The Everlasting God and the King of Glory, and the King of Glory, and the King of Glory shall come in. Give us more of your glory. More of your fire, more of your anointing, Jesus, more of your power. Come on, I dare you to legislate in the spirit. Tonight we declare war on the devil's war. We declare war on the devil's war. We declare war with our worship. Yeah, I hear you, God. If you believe on me, he said, as the scripture has said, out of your belly would flow rivers of living water. You got rivers in you to transform a city. You got rivers in you to transform a nation. All you got to do is believe. I dare you, legislate in the spirit and let the rivers flow. Apostle is coming shortly, but I just need you to let the rivers flow so you'll be ready to receive what he's about to release. Come on, open up, open your mouth. Le basa tata babata. Come on, cry out to God. Le tamamantaya. The Levites, the worshipers, have taken you as far as you can go. Now you got to go for yourself. We're just leaders. You got to do it yourself. Le tamamantaya. You got to want to go where angels are. You got to want to go where the throne of God is. You got to want to go where the fire of the altar never goes out. You got to want to go there. Open your mouth. My God. Oh no, devil, you can't have our children. You can't have our money. You can't have our family. You can't have our real estate. You can't have our property. We put our foot on what's ours, and we decree and declare everywhere we put our foot it shall be ours. We declare tonight that we shall possess the promise that God has made to us. We put our foot on it. Oh God, and we— we take back what's already ours. It's our property. It's our world, it's our cattle, it's our money. We take what's ours, we put our foot on it. Glory! Here we plead the blood against every diabolical scheme and every strategic attack of the enemy that has come against the promise of God over our assignment, over our life. And tonight we break every word curse, we break every generational curse, and we declare you're free. You're liberated.
We give you the glory, God. We give you the honor.
You might as well receive your freedom tonight, for where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. And there's freedom in this place because God is here. Come on, give him another praise. Come on, open your mouth and bless him one more time.
The glory is here. Fire God burns in this room. Glory God, glory God, glory God.
Hey, glory, wonderful Savior. Bless the high name of Jesus.
Bless the great name of the Lord. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory to God, glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. Glory to God. I want everybody to stand. I'm gonna put the man of God up right now in this atmosphere. So good to see you, Apostle. Glad you're here, man. Praise God. I knew you were coming. Praise God. God is good. Y'all give God another hand of praise. He's here, and let's receive the man of God tonight who's going to break to us the bread of life. Come on, put your hands together and give God praise for Apostle Brandon Cornelius.
Hallelujah! Come on, give Jesus one more praise right there. Come on, bless Jesus right there. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Yeah, yeah, he's so worthy, isn't he? He's glorious, he's powerful, he's mighty, he's wonderful. We thank you for who you are, King Jesus. And we come tonight to declare once again that Jesus is King over Atlanta, Georgia. Oh, come on, y'all ain't with me here. We come tonight to make a declaration together in this room under this apostolic covering, and we decree that Jesus is King. Jesus is Lord over this region. Yeah, come on, we stand together as a military. Come on, and we decree that Jesus is Lord, Jesus is King over Atlanta. Come on, somebody. We thank you, we honor you, Jesus. You are King, and every king deserves worship. So we worship you because you rule. You're Lord, you're God, you're Lord of all lords, you're King of all kings, God of all gods. We come tonight to bless you. I feel the joy of the Lord in the house tonight. There is fire blazing tonight, and I believe that tonight, as you receive the sword of the Lord tonight, that there will be a fire that will burn in your spirit man tonight. Come on, y'all not hearing me here. I believe that bodies will be healed tonight. I believe that if you're dealing with things in your soul dimension, that God is going to deliver tonight. We've come to make this declaration that King Jesus, the King of Glory— come on— the King of Glory shall come in. He shall come to repair. He shall come to recover. He shall come to restore. He shall come to reconcile. We bless you tonight. Y'all may be seated. Let's get into this word tonight. I'm telling you, in this region, in this territory, the Lord is bringing forth a separation. I see the Lord's sickle coming through. Come on, y'all not hearing me in here. And what the Lord is doing is he is dividing the, uh, the pure from the unclean. And this is those that come to name the name of the Lord. For those that name the name of the Lord and either know him or don't know him, he's coming to divide. Uh, y'all not hearing me here. He said you thought he come to bring peace, but he come to bring a sword. Ah, Tomas Kotobo! And there's a sword that the Lord is drawing in this region. I'm trying to tell you, he's drawing a sword that will separate the genuine from the false. And you will see it in the days to come more and more, how the false shall be removed. Come on, somebody! Hallelujah! The chaff is going to be moved. Come on, come on, come on, y'all ain't hearing me here. God is going to make sure that the wheat come forth. It— see, it don't— it don't look like the things that you have been sacrificing for all of this time has made a difference, but God is saying, because you decided to continually be pure before me, I'm going to raise the head of my wheat. See, we have looked at stages and platforms and said, that's God. Oh, y'all not hearing me here, but he's picking you up out of the trenches. He's picking you up from the backside of the deserts. He's picking you up from the realm of obscurity. Come on, somebody. From the realm where you have traded everything unto the Lord and say, Lord, what more should I trade? And Lord said, your life is what you trade. And the more you trade your life, the more I can display who you are. There's going to be a separation of the wheat and the tare in this region. And God is going to start highlighting. I'm telling you, there's going to be mass exoduses that happen where, where there was— there's going to be an exposure of those that refuse to repent and they continue to go the perverted way, the unclean and the impure ways, and they got big platforms and big churches. Y'all not hearing me here. There's going to be a sword that's going to hit this region. And what can be shaken will be shaken. There's going to be a shaking out of false systems, the exodus from the false, the entrance into the real. So Noah, keep building. They're going to need your ark. The rain coming, the rain is coming. Amen. Oh Jesus, trying to tell you, these false apostles, false prophets, false pastors, false everything is going to be shaken in the days to come. God is going to highlight the authentic. Many times we think our labor is in in vain because we're not seeing much fruit from the labor. But God says that the fruit is not in this dimension. And the more you build fruit in another dimension, there's going to eventually going to be fruit for you in this one. I'm telling you, whirlwinds are changing things in this region. It's only so long and so far they can continue to be false and call on the name of the Lord and do it in the name of the Lord. Y'all with me here? Before the sword comes. Y'all praying for them to change. They don't want to change. You better pray for the real to rise, because, because there got to be a remnant that becomes a model of what his standard is for in the church. And many that are on big stages are not the standard. Jesus is the standard, and if we're not looking like him, we're not becoming standards either. Anyway, whatever. 2 Corinthians 10:3, because y'all looking at me funny. Oh Jesus, thank you, Father. I feel the Lord in here. I love this ministry. Of course, I love my spiritual father, Apostle Michael Woods. Hallelujah! Come on, y'all give a hand. Appreciate— I appreciate who you are, sir. Thank you for inviting me in. It means a lot. You don't have to, but thank you for doing it anyway. And, um, hallelujah! Let's get into this word tonight. Thank you all for coming. Give a hand for yourself. We're going to get into this and then we're going to pray for people tonight. Y'all okay with that? For though we walk in the flesh, meaning though we walk in the human body, we don't war according to the human body. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but what are they? Mighty in God. They are mighty, but they are not mighty alone. They're mighty in God. That means that you got to understand something. God himself is a person, right? But God himself is not just a person, he's also a location. That's why I say in him. He is the person who is the location we need to be in. Oh Jesus, hallelujah. Which means that the weapons that you war with only have strength because they're in God's location. And if you're not going to get them in God's location, they're not going to be mighty for you. All right, all right. Hallelujah, guys. See, we, we feel that we can handle things in our own strength. This is why he said not by might, not by what, but by what? His Spirit. His Spirit is on the inside of you to give you the location of in Christ. So come on, somebody. This is why his Spirit lives on the inside of you, so you can get to know his Spirit. Come on, somebody. And getting to know his Spirit, his Spirit introduces you to weapons that are strong in the Lord. A lot of our battles are trying to be, uh, fought by crying. Crying ain't gonna win no battles. Are y'all hearing me here? Hallelujah! Hallelujah! You got to learn how to get out of your emotions. Submit the emotions under God. Come on, somebody! Hallelujah! And watch this, as you submit them unto God, let God build your faith. Say faith. See, out of faith your weapons become mighty. Am I helping somebody? All right, anyway, let me get in this. So we— the conference is called what? Worship and what? Warfare and what? All right, hallelujah. So with that being said, this is what we're going to talk about: worship and warfare. He said the weapons of our warfare— weapons would deal with the tools that you need to advance God's kingdom. The whole goal of the enemy is to fight the very technology of what you have to present in the earth to advance God's kingdom. Are y'all with me here? So God says, I give you weapons, tools, and instruments from my kingdom to advance my kingdom. And so I need to fight against you. So if I fight against you, you can't use what can advance the kingdom. Oh yeah, am I, am I helping somebody today? Because you without God's weapons are— come on, you without God's weapons is that you're just another human trying to have an existence. But God— see, weapons are the equipment. Say equipment. Equipment for me to advance what has already been superior all this lifetime.
Come on, sir. Come on.
So God takes what's ancient and puts it in your now. Come on. All right, come on. Why is it ancient? Because ancient is for every generation, which means the tools that God has in another realm for you, every generation can use them. Come on, somebody. Which means that nothing that is in the Word is outdated if we stay— come on, somebody here— if we stay with the tools that we have in the Word, we'll stay current. Okay, thank you, sir. Hallelujah. Y'all, y'all with me so far? Say, the weapons of our warfare. The word warfare deals with apostolic career, or may apostolic duty. For those that don't believe in apostles for today, hallelujah, uh, warfare deals with your apostolic duty. It deals with the career of an apostle. Y'all with me here? It's the same, uh, it's the same dimension as the military service. Or a military duty or a military career. Come on, somebody. So apostles, or the apostolos, have been sent forth, uh, as flagship ministries or frontline ministries. They've been suited and equipped with weapons. Come on, somebody, to help build something that don't exist. This is why the culture of an apostolic ministry is to get the culture of the kingdom in the earth. This is why they're so adamant. Come on, am I talking to the right people? This is why they're so adamant for you to worship. This is why they're so adamant for you to praise. Why? Because these are weapons. The problem is, without apostolic authority and apostolic leadership, the church becomes an entity to itself. Why? Because now what happens is we become religious without God. So we go through the motions of what church looks like, but there's no thrusting into kingdom, uh, kingdom exercises. Kingdom advancements, kingdom weaponry. I, I, I preach, I don't care who talk. Hallelujah, hallelujah. I listen, I ain't come to give you no collard greens and beans. Hallelujah. So, so as a, as a, as a man or woman serves their country through military service. Apostles have been sent to the planet to serve their country that they come from under military service. One of the word— one of the aspects of, uh, apostolos also means military campaign or military entourage. So they come forth with military status. This is why they are so different from what Pastors are— this is why their pursuit of God becomes militant, because it's in their DNA. This is why they push you like they push you. They push you to get the pacifier out your mouth. Come on, somebody! They push you to stop nursing. Come on, somebody! They push you to get out of that crib. They push you to get out of that walker. They push you to stop weaning on— come on, somebody! See, Pastors keep you weaning on themselves, but apostles say, get off me. Why? Because they want you to swim on your own. This is why they're militant. Are y'all with me so far? And one of the reasons real apostolic ministers carry heavy authority and, and, and heavy, uh, artillery in the spirit is because they have to. They, they are wired to get God's atmosphere and environment into the earth realm. They, they can't live any other way. They— they're the, the environment that they're in. If it don't look like the culture of heaven, they're gonna find a way to break that realm into that realm. Now, y'all hearing me here? And so this is why God raises up ministries like this one and other ministries that might not necessarily have, uh, the numbers, but they got high product— productivity in the realm of the spirit. You're looking at numbers, God is looking at acts. Where is the activities of the Holy Ghost? Hallelujah! Come on, y'all, y'all like that 3 points and 2 hoops and all that. Y'all like that stuff and it ain't advancing you nowhere. It's giving you a good feel-good and then you go the same. Come on, somebody! We need folk that gonna push you in dimension. Say dimension. Y'all don't like me tonight. It's okay, it's okay. All right, I'm gonna keep going. Hallelujah! And so with apostolic ministry, they have to endure a lot of pressures and a lot of warfare that ordinary and traditional ministries will not have to endure. It's— listen, it is no reason what he carries, it is no reason why he should not have a mega ministry now. Now? Because you talking about the tools. He can preach with the best of them. Come on, somebody. He can prophesy. I mean, he heals. These things that he does as an apostle, it's not that he don't have the goods. It's the warfare in the region that opposes— come on, somebody— that opposes real spiritual people.
Yes sir, yes sir.
Pressures in warfare that many don't understand. And what happens is they come thinking it should be regular church, but it's not regular church. And so when it don't become regular church for them, they get offended.
Come on, sir.
Come on, sir.
There's an offense because it's not regular church. There's something that requires something out of you to push you past your comfort zone. Oh boy, y'all is not— y'all ain't liking me tonight. I love it though. 2 Corinthians 12:12. Truly, I'm gonna stop at the first sign. Truly the signs of an apostle were accomplished among you with all perseverance. Say perseverance. Oh my God, you did! Come on, somebody say perseverance. You cannot call yourself an apostle and you can't persevere through the opposition that comes against you for standing with God's culture. Over systems that want to keep you babe status. Bless you. Y'all with me so far? Because y'all looking at me funny. What does perseverance mean? To resolve to maintain territory gained. Once apostles gain territory, they stand with that territory. And this is why, this is why they become revolving doors in regions. You know why? Because once, once they present a standard, they're gonna stick with it. And most people don't want standards in their life. Most people don't want accountability. I'm giving y'all cuss words right now. They don't want accountability, cuss word number one. They don't, they don't want real leadership, cuss word number two. They don't want submission. Cuss word number 3. They don't want obedience. Cussing, man. Oh man. So they like being in big ministries. To hide. They don't care about accountability because they can do what they want to do and still go to church and say, I've been to church. They never truly advance. They, they advance to something that's called carnality, but they don't advance in kingdom things. There are many people who are churched, not changed. Y'all with me so far? So, so many of you know what church is, but you don't know kingdom. Two different worlds. And when I say church, it ain't even the church Jesus building. This is the church that man has made up. All right, I'm going to keep going anyway. I fear the fire of God. So in a military sense, it means soldiers who maintain their positions even in the face of opposition. This is what perseverance looks like. That means that you cannot call yourself apostolic and you easily offended. Come You can't take correction. I'm cussing. That's another cuss word. Correction, rebuke, cuss word. We don't like it. All of those cuss words are words for growth. They're words for maturity. They're for your maturation. But yet we like the opposite. We love encouragement. We don't like correction. Why you think people— uh-oh, here we go. When it comes to the word, Apostle, people tap out. Watch this. When it comes to prophecy, they'll stay all night, all night long. They will stand in the line for hours for prophecy, but when it comes to listening to the word, they out of there. The word is a cuss word. Come on, y'all ain't with me? Because the word is a sword that comes to correct. Anyway, hallelujah. Uh, uh, refusing to surrender to obstacles, staying power. Oh, so you call yourself an Apostle, but you don't have no staying power, which means you can't move like you want to move. Some of y'all ready to pack your bags and go right now, but what's in you says you got to have staying power. I put this in your DNA. You can't just pack your bags and leave like you want to leave. You're not your own. Uh-oh, you can't even— you can't even swap churches like you want to when you're really apostolic. I'm saying apostolic, I ain't say what most believers try to do. Two different worlds. If you understood this man before now— see, he's, he's a lot lighter to y'all than he was to us. Y'all like, ah, he get on my nerve now. Well, Nothing compared to what was, but it strengthened us, it sharpened us, and matured us like never before. He know that why he left. I'm done. My sharp rebuke, pow, right there on the spot. It's over with. But we couldn't just get offended, say I'm out of here. That wasn't— that was not DNA. Believers today, that's their DNA. Soon as you call them out, it's over with. We got such a mamby-pamby generation. We have so many that have weak—
you have—
it's like you're weak in your soul, and when somebody tries to put you on the right path, you can't take it. Matter of fact, the Bible says that real love is not easily offended. So which means that if I am easily offended, I'm not walking in love like I think I am. It is so quiet up in this piece. My God, stay in power. Hallelujah! Power that refuses to break or quit. Uh-oh, I said it again. Power that refuses to break or quit. You cannot be an apostle and quit when you want to. Anyway, it's working. People love pastoral-only churches because they can get away with what they want to get away with. But you cannot do that when you're understanding power, because that type of power, that type of perseverance in your life is going to equip you from the foundation level to grow up into the image of Christ. The more you run from the necessary things, the more you go away from his image. So as he keep— as your leaders keep pushing you into the ascendant realms, you got to keep ascending, you got to keep growing, because the warfare is not going to get easier, it's going to get stronger. And, and the thing about it, when you go from church to church because you can't take what leadership says. Are y'all with me here? It is— it is digging you deeper into demonic holes and you don't even understand you're in. Are y'all with me here? And the more— the deeper the hole goes, the harder it is to get out of it. And what happens is when you can't take it from leadership, it spills over into other areas of your life. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Are y'all with me here? I say it spills over into other areas of your life. And most people who cannot take correction can't keep jobs. Y'all ain't with me here. They can't keep— people who can't take correction can't keep real relationships. They can't keep real friendships. Why? Because they run from everything that tries to challenge them. You can't have a real relationship and it's not challenge you. You run from challenges. It is so quiet up in this piece. We're gonna get free tonight though. Hallelujah! God, that's true. God wants to make us strong. Say strong. Correction is a weapon that strengthens us. All right, accountability is a weapon that strengthens us. Am I helping somebody today? Warfare is also the Greek word stratia. Say stratia, which means in order for us to overcome the warfare of darkness, we need strategies from another world. Watch this. We need— say, we need strategies from another world, and we need to be strategic in those strategies. Strategies from this world will not be effective against the works of darkness. Am I talking to the right people here? We got to become strategic with our strategies. Y'all hear me here? There are certain weapons you need at certain times. Come on, somebody. Am I helping somebody? That, that in certain times, when you use those, those certain weapons, you have a high percentage of overcoming when you use those certain weapons. Hallelujah. Y'all with me so far? Paul equates the strategia or the strateo, which also deals with the word war. He equates it with the life of a believer, putting it in parallel to the discipline and the commitment required of soldiers. Come on, y'all ain't with me here. Which means the new creation life, or the life what we would call Christianity, is a life to be disciplined and committed. The, the reason temptations are easy to believers is because believers are lazy. Undisciplined people enter into temptations easy. Y'all okay today? See, so you gotta understand, you know, we gotta develop discipline even in spiritual matters. Are y'all with me? Even if you got to put yourself on a schedule, something, you gotta, you gotta remain disciplined and committed to the walk of Christ. Because there's, there's going to always be opposition from the realm of darkness to put you off course. The devil targets undiscipline. Are y'all with me here? Hallelujah. It is. Yep. Hallelujah. This is why Paul, he's, he's talking discipline. He says if you walk in the spirit discipline, you won't fulfill the desires of the what? The carnal realm where you're undisciplined. See, it's easy to think carnally. It takes discipline to renew your mind. Oh my God, that's, that's part of the warfare he was talking here. Am I helping somebody? Because strategia also means spiritual warfare, which not only we're battling demons, but we're battling against the carnal mind. Am I helping somebody here? See, we're battling the damages, the wounds, and the unhealthiness of the soul. This is why we can't prosper. Your soul ain't prospering. Let me go around my mouth, cuz y'all— woo, it's quiet, man. God. So watch this. As you growing up, traumas hit your life, abuses hit your life, offenses hit All of this, the unforgiveness, bitterness, grief, all that hits you, right? That's— these are past locations. Say past locations. Say past locations. So God is saying, walk in the Spirit and you won't fulfill the past locations. All right, all right.
Why?
Because the past locations have already been shaping the way you think anyway. So since— excuse me— since the past locations have already been shaping you, you don't even need discipline to think like that because they shape the way you think anyway. So God is— come on, somebody— this is why Paul talking about the weapons pulling down some stuff. Come on, strongholds, arguments. Are y'all with me here? And he said, big why? Because you're already thinking this way. You're thinking like an unbeliever already. So since I'm thinking from the damages and the traumas and the unhealthiness of what Momo and them taught me— y'all not hearing me here. Come on, somebody. Y'all ain't hear me here. See, see, a lot of your momos— come on, somebody— you thought was spiritual, and they were operating in witchcraft. Y'all not hearing me here. And showing you these type of witchcraft stuff. Y'all ain't— y'all ain't— yeah.
Oh boy.
Hallelujah. Shaping your life, past locations, because you never renew your mind or you never get the deliverance you need, you're still presently in past locations. So that's been shaping you. Wounds are your teachers. Yeah, am I helping somebody today? This is why I can say a certain thing. How you doing, man of God? You doing all right? I could say a certain thing and it triggers you. Why is it triggering me? Because it takes me back to a past location. And so now a trigger produces anger, a trigger produces offense, a trigger produces me to want to run and hide.
'Cause why?
I've been shaped by past locations all my life, and because I have not been disciplined enough to get the deliverance, to get the healing, to get the ascended mindset, to renew it, I'm still thinking like this 8-year-old. I'm, I'm 38, but I think 8. See, see, demons, demons, oh, they'll take on a different form, but they got the same character. So how you got influenced by demonic things here, they just gonna take on another form here. But have the same character as— ah, as what harmed you here. They going to bring it in a different light, but the same type of character will trigger what happened at 8. You getting free today. Y'all going to get free See, see, see, listen, listen, listen. Don't blame nobody else. Don't blame nobody else for this. This is our responsibility to partner with God, to be disciplined so that what happened here Come on, y'all ain't hear me? Can become a testimony and not a trigger. See, we'll take on the same blame game as Adam. Somebody do something to us, we don't take responsibility for our actions. We immediately blame them. It's because of you I act this way. Nope, it's because of you, you act this way. Why? Because you fail to be disciplined. There are tools that God has given all of us to change and transform out of this 8-year-old little boy, and I'm 58. Your wife's sitting here looking at you like, oh my God, is this really happening? I mean, she literally looking at you like you acting like a child, and you really are, because the memory called past triggers. You think you grown because you old? No, you ain't grown until you have responsibility from the mindset of changing into an adult. 80 years old but still thinking 10. You grew old but you ain't grown.
On.
You know what maturity or adulthood looks like? It looks like me conforming into Christ. When I look more like him, I'm, I'm actually becoming an adult. You can pay all the bills in the house and still a baby. Has nothing to do with what you can do, has everything to do with how you think. That reflects character. Paul said, pull these things down, stone pillars, reasonings and arguments. High things that go against the knowledge of God. Then he talks about making sure that disobedient thought come into the obedience of Christ. He's dealing with your thought life because he understands. See, and, and let me get on this. I don't care how gifted we are, because the Corinthian church was more gifted than any church you can look at. But the Corinthian church got rebuked by Paul, and he called them carnal because it had nothing to do with how gifted they were. It had everything to do with the character they displayed from how they thought. He said, you still got strife among you, you still jealous, you still got contention, and you still got confusion, and you still got this discord among you? Oh yeah, you're babes. So we got preachers in the pulpit that are old but babes. And what we do is we anoint people based on gifts but not maturity. Hallelujah! Pick him back up. Do the Benny Hinn, because my God. Woo! Apple style! Apostolic ministry, we fight real devils, but we also fight real mindsets because so many people do not want to mature mentally, emotionally, in their decision-making, which you— again, you You know how to yield to prophecy, but you don't know how to yield to get your mind renewed. Two different, two different worlds. Watch this: one takes yielding, the other takes discipline. Hallelujah! I'mma get there. I'm still on warfare. I'mma get to worship in a minute. Y'all just stay with me. Trying to help us tonight. So the greatest challenge for us is to merge your life in the realm of time to the location you are in heavenly places. Bible said we've been seated in heavenly places with Christ, right? So he's trying to merge the life that you have in the heavenlies with the life that you have in time. Y'all with me? But what happens is the difference between what you are in the spirit is your soul. It's your soul. Say, my soul. My soul. Because in your soul you house patterns and cycles that cause you to repeat things in life that even you desire to break free from. Y'all with me here? Say, patterns and cycles. Patterns and cycles. That causes us to repeat things in life that we desire to break free from. You will do a thing over and over and over and want to break free from that certain thing you do over and over. And all you keep having to do, all you keep saying, and I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, ain't gonna keep getting it. What's gonna get it, what's gonna break it, is forming new habits. Which means that I cannot expect to come out of the I'm sorry zone until I break out of it with discipline. Woo! 'Cause what we do is we'll repeat a pattern and everybody else is our enemy. The enemy is in you. It's the war between what's in your soul that shaped you and what's in your spirit that wants to shape you. That's why he talks about in Romans 12, the renewal of the mind, so that brings transformation. Say, "Transformation." I'm boring y'all, my bad. It's all good. He's telling you, don't be conformed. Why? He's giving you permission to not be a thing that you already are. He said, "Don't be conformed to the world." He's giving you a command, permission. Don't be conformed to what you already conformed by. But he's also pushing you further. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. If you don't transform, you'll stay conformed.
Con—
conformed deals with taking on the same shape of a thing. You— Jesus. Again, The world has ways where you get wounded by the ways of the world. The world is the cosmetic system of carnality. If you want to just put it simply, it's the cosmetic system of carnality, which means it's, it's a system of How can I say? It's a pseudo system. It's a fake system. Come on, come on, come on. It's not the reality of what we originated from. We originated out of God. The world system is anti-God. Come on, somebody. So it presents a system that looks like a system we supposed to be in, but it's not the right system. Are y'all hearing me here? So he said, stop conforming, or stop taking on the same shape of this fake system. But let me give you the, the reality of your originality. Let me transform you. Come on. That means I take on a different form that's beyond this fake system. So let me put a different form in you. That's your real system called the kingdom. So we're trying to become shaped by God without renewing our minds. It ain't happening, 'cause that's where the problem is. I'm gonna give my hug to my classmate real quick. Hey girl, how you doing? We went to school together, y'all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it was middle and high, right? Yeah, yeah, come on somebody, ain't that a blessing, y'all? So the Lord is pulling us out of systems so we can be original. The religious system tries to shape you around more faith. So what happens is you come out of the world and then they put you in a religious system. They bring you out of faith into more faith. So now all you know is faith. You don't know originality. 'Cause what they're trying to do is put you in a uniform that looks like them. Oh my God. See, the originality of Christ— Paul talks about that Christ may be formed in you. He can't be formed if he's not formed. He can't be formed if he's not formed. Y'all okay so far? Patterns. Say patterns. Say cycles. These are decisions that we make from familiarity. These are things that happen like a repeated process. Cycles and patterns. We repeat the same processes because our mind keeps repeating. Whatever your mind repeats, you will repeat. Hallelujah. So as we continue to take on new habits, when you, when you take on a habit, eventually you You come into habitation. You can't have a habitation if you don't have the right habits. The reason your home is how it is is because you have habits that produces the habitation. There are regular things you do at home to make it home. Right, y'all ain't hear me? Which means It's a familiar process. Oh, Jesus. So God is saying, I want you to make new habits in your mind so I can make a habitation there. See, God is already living in you, but you need God to come into your soul. Oh, my God. Oh, Jesus, Jesus. I need God to live in my mind. Come on, somebody. I need God to live in my emotions. Come on, somebody. I need God to live in my will. So Paul said, walk in the Spirit. You know what walk means? I make habits in the realm of God, and eventually that realm will become my habitation. It will become a familiar your processing, it will become automatic. See, we— see, the problem is when you are lazy, you have a default setting. Well, you will default back to the thing that you're familiar with. Y'all with me? Yes, sir. That's why you got to break that setting through discipline. And if I keep consistently being in discipline, I won't default back. Watch this, I'll set a new default. Now my patterns will be prayer instead of worry. You've broken cycles. Oh Jesus. Watch this, watch this. Say that again. Learn to rest. You learn to rest. So the habits will produce rest. That's why he talk about laboring into— ah, laboring means discipline. I gotta put in the work to get the rest. Hallelujah. Again, it takes no discipline to think like you've always been thinking. Got to break the code. You got to decode your old code. To break into a new code, a new set of systems to think in another reality. If not, you will again— you will go back to the old settings, not even the original, because your original was before time. See, your original was before time. Oh, oh, this is why he talks about the old has passed away. So he had to, he had to take out of your spirit the old nature so that now you can become disciplined to think from a new nature. Okay, whatever. Hallelujah. Because when you deal with the word nature, it means something that becomes natural. So I had to take old stuff that was natural to you out of you so that now I give you a new natural. This is why the Bible calls it a new and living way. You ain't been here before. This is unfamiliar and unprecedented territory. This is why— come on, somebody— this is why when you become like this in God's realm, people can't recognize you because they're looking for old. They don't know this unprecedented image that you're walking in. Come on, you're looking for something that don't exist no more. Watch this, y'all. A dog returns to his own— —and a fool repeats his foolishness. What does return mean? To go back to your former place. What does repeat mean? Occurrences that happen over and over. You know, what's a fool? A stupid fellow. I know y'all don't like that word, but the word call you stupid when you become like a dog that repeats the same pattern of going back to its own vomit, going back to your folly or your foolishness, which means your old ways. Going back to your old ways is stupid. You have been put on the planet to evolve into Christ, look more and more like him. Your old ways make you an eater of vomit. Your old way— listen, Going back to your old ways, in the spirit, you a vomit eater.
Wow.
We like being fools. That means you like eating vomit. Now God wants you to become so disciplined you grow out and away from repeating patterns that keep you eating vomit. It's an intelligence issue. It's an intelligence issue. Because a lot of us think we're smart, but if you keep repeating foolishness, you ain't smart. You can be book smart. You can even have a little common sense. But when it comes— watch this— when it comes to the soul ties, when it comes to damages of the soul that have never been prepared. They can make the most intelligent people in the world move with unintelligent patterns. Got a lot of money, which is good. Come on, somebody. You done built some great stuff. You know mathematics like the back of your hand. You done great things. But you keep repeating stuff that's vomit. You're really not that intelligent. I'm talking about all of us now. You know, nobody's excluded because we all do dumb stuff, but we can repent. You can't, you can't repent, you can't repent and not become intelligently higher. Y'all not hearing me here. See, repent deals with returning back to something higher. Penthouse, Pent State. That means that when I turn from it, I'm not turning in the same degree. I'm turning to something higher than what was, because I gotta turn to something higher so I won't return to something lower. God wants to so break you into higher ways of thinking that lower ways will no longer become a reality. Meaning I become consistent in ascended thinking.
Yes, yes.
You got to become so high in your thinking that lower ways become disgusting to you. You know how y'all like, uh, uh, vomit, uh, uh. You know how y'all thinking like that? Y'all are looking at natural vomit, and because you know what vomit is— come on, somebody— in the natural, you know it's nasty, right? That's because your mind thinks higher than the vomit now. But in the spirit, the vomit in the spirit, your mind have not ascended past. So you keep repeating stuff that's— that you keep eating that's nasty, cuz your mind have not ascended past to think that's nasty. Woo! Don't you know no good Say, "Two different intelligences." I'm trying to make you laugh because some of y'all just— my God, your faces. I don't even want to look that way. I'm cussing y'all out. Two different intelligences. It's the intelligence of the intellect, and it's the intelligence from the mind of Christ. God wants the intelligence of the mind of Christ to override the intelligence of the intellect so that the intelligence of the intellect can think like the mind of Christ. So he wants you to be smart, book smart, and all the smart— smart you got in your intellect, but he wants you to have the mind of Christ with it so that his character can be displayed along with how book smart you are. Oh man, come on, come on, come on. See, God, God didn't put you in church to stop thinking. That's a— we ain't got a church stop thinking. We need to throw all our brains out. Hallelujah. He ain't do that. He just want the higher reality to align with that reality so you can build skyscrapers and yet keep relationships. Come on, somebody. He don't want you out here building cities but your marriage tore up. You out here the best employee at your job, but you can't keep no friends. Two different intelligence. Unintelligent decisions by intelligent people. You're intelligent in one realm. You have not allowed the other realm to invade, but you have this realm. Oh my God. You know what vomit is? Vomit is something that the stomach has rejected and cast out. Now, the stomach is the inner place in the body. So spiritually, vomit will represent the things your inner man or your spirit man has rejected and cast out. So when you keep going back to foolish ways, you are, you are going back to what your spirit man has rejected and eaten it. You know what lazy You know what sin is? Unintelligence. I ain't talking about, you know, you need some rest and you get the rest. I'm talking about you loving sleep and you never do nothing else. The Bible talks about loving sleep gonna bring poverty upon you. You see what I'm saying? There's a difference between you needing rest and you getting it, and you just love and sleep, and you ain't doing nothing, and poverty hitting your life. That's what you would call lazy. And we wonder, like, I don't want to keep repeating these cycles. What are you doing to shift your mind to where you can come out of this? Because if you still think there, you will continue to be there. You will continue to repeat there. It takes discipline to get your mind out of the lower places. I'mma keep cussing you out. Hallelujah. I can cuss you in a good way. Hallelujah. So I sold because of default, our souls always will revert back to what damaged us. When your soul does not align with your spirit man, it will always revert back to what wounded us, offended us, damaged us. Go and take a introspective of your life. And see how much you've always reverted back to certain things because of certain things. A lack of discipline. See, I can get prophesied to all day long. Apostle prophesied to me about I needed to write 2 books this year. That's what he said. He said I needed to write 2 books. Matter of fact, I brought my book books about. So if people want to get them, get my books. Hallelujah. But he prophesied last year, right, about me writing two books. Y'all with me? Now, I could have been like, yeah, okay, and not written nothing, which was undisciplined. That means the prophetic word was not false, right, right, right. That means I didn't put in the discipline to partner with the word. Our problem in the church, we love prophecy but we don't want to put in the work. That's it. And so now every, every prophet and prophetic word is false because we don't put in the discipline. To partner with what's spoken so that it can come to pass. Stop blaming the prophecy, blame your work ethic. Foolishness means stupidity, means that these are the results that are formed from a lack of wisdom, a lack of forethought, a lack of judgment, a lack of caution. Foolishness is also a result from the weakness of the mind. You cannot have a strong life with a weak mind. You know where strength comes from? When your mind becomes repaired. Whew! When the soul gets repaired, you become strong. All right, I'm going to leave you alone. Not quite. The mind— the mind— I'm going to continue cussing you out. I like it. I like cussing you out. The mind of man unaligned with the mind of God— watch this— the mind of man unaligned with the mind of God It wants to be its own god in the realm of man. See, the mind of man makes men lovers of themselves. Alrighty then, I'm gonna get off here and get into worship. Woo! The heaviest— listen, there are 3 warfares that gonna be heavy in your life, especially dealing with apostasy. I'm going to mention. Number 1, let me see, that's 3 or 4. I'mma see how many I'mma name. But number 1, spiritual warfare, which deals with— all of it is spiritual warfare, but I got to just name them. Number 1, deal with devils. Devils, watch this, devils create systems and mindsets. Y'all not hearing me here. See, you think, you think, you think like you do on your own. You don't. You're influenced to think like that. All of the, all of the worldly types of mindsets come from devils. All of the characteristics you take on that's of the carnality and of flesh, it comes from devils. I'm trying to help you. See, 3 things that apostles and apostolic ministries war against: spirits, systems, mindsets. That's what we war against. Say spirits. Say systems. Say mindsets. So you got the war against devils, number 1. Number 2, the soulish war. Mental, emotional. You know, see, y'all be like, oh, my heart is broken. Your heart ain't broken. Your emotions got affected. It's your emotions that's out of whack and out of balance. Matter of fact, when you allow your emotions to have lordship, you will continue to be hurt. It's the wrong decision-making. That's the soulish warfare. Number 3, relational warfare. Trying to relate to people is a whole warfare by itself. But hold on, how can you say you love a God you can't see? This is Bible. So when you tell me I love God but I can't stand people, the Bible calls you a liar. Matter of fact, I beg to differ to say you don't really have a real relationship with God. Because if you can't deal with people like God deals with people, how are you going to like God but you don't like his image? We talk about, I wanna be a prophet, I wanna be an apostle, I wanna be a You don't like people, you can't be none of that. You might as well stay in your cave by yourself. But your relationship with God is poor. If you're not a person that can relate to people, because God made God made you for relationships. God made you to fellowship. He designed you for intimacy, not just with him. That's why he told Adam, who had it all— Adam, who had it all. No, it was just— it was Adam, birds and the bees. It was Adam, animals and land, earth, and God. That was it. God told Adam, meaning we were all designed, we were not designed to say, "It's just me and God, nobody else." Y'all not hear me? That was never your design. You were always designed to have a vertical healthy relationship and a horizontal healthy relationship. When you talking about, "I can't keep friends," it's not friends' fault. My Bible said, "For those that desire friends, you must show yourself friendly." There's something in you that's full of pride and you need to deal with it. And it comes from something of your past location that still triggers your pride now. Oh, sir, you do not have a good relationship with God. It's reflecting of how you deal with your relationships in the earth. Let's get it right. People shouldn't keep leaving your life, and you shouldn't keep running from people. That's a damage that you need to get healed. How you going to— every ascension gift from apostle on down was supposed to be in the midst of the body. How you going to equip the body? You ain't with the body. Cuz our growth in God will show through the healthiness, healthiness of our souls coming under his health, which we can deal with people that healthy manner. That's what maturity looks like, y'all. And it's a warfare because we're fighting past locations. We— watch this— we're bringing those into our present versus God saying let's renew our mind so we can look healthy and not— and watch this— no longer look like our past. Ah, don't have no mighty ministry but you fail in relationships and don't even match. Got to be different, y'all. It is so quiet. It is quiet. It's the mind of man unaligned with the mind of God. Let's get right, y'all. Amen. See, the dispensation shifted. It's a, it's a New Covenant. Prophets are supposed to be with the body. See, the reason they were alone then is because they were hiding from people trying to kill them. They was in caves cuz they were trying to get away from folk that tried to murder them. Ain't nobody trying to murder you now. God said, I'm trying to heal your heart or heal your soul so you can actually be among people without feeling a certain type of way. Amen. Oh my God, deliverance is in the room!
Woo!
Some of y'all getting delivered without even have to throw up in the bucket.
A whole mind shifting right now.
All right, let me end it with worship, and then Apostle and myself will pray for people tonight. Romans 12:1 say, I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present— say present— your bodies a living sacrifice. How you going to be a living sacrifice and you still think you belong to you? That's priestly terminology. No priest belongs to himself. Present your bodies as a living sacrifice. Holy, set apart. Okay, set apart, meaning I didn't set myself apart. Somebody else did. That means I belong to the one that set me apart for his purposes. Yes, sir. Uh-huh. Which means that I gotta obey what he say. I can't make up my own theology. Right. Come on, sir. I can't give myself excuses and think God is accepting this stuff. He's not accepting your terms. He's accepting his terms. Y'all not hearing me here. Most of us are not hearing God's voice. We're hearing the voice we want to hear and say is God, because you've You think God is living on your terms. If he's living on your terms, that mean he ain't God. Acceptable to God. You know what acceptable mean? Well pleasing. It's the same well pleasing as God told his Son. You are my Son, you are well pleasing. It's the same well pleasing. So he's telling you If you present your body and you present it in a manner where I have set it apart, now you come under the standard of being well pleasing. Then he said, which is your what? Reasonable service. Reasonable. This means you don't get— oh Jesus, you don't— oh, here we go. This means that you don't get no extra extra rewards for being what you're supposed to always be. See, we become so entitled in the church, and we think because we did a little something-something, God need to give me something extra. No, that's your reasonable service. You're supposed to do it. You are a priest and a sacrifice. it's supposed to be your lifestyle. Another word for "readable service" means "intelligent worship." So when I present my body as a supernatural priest, dedicate my life to him, he said that's intelligent worship. It makes sense to another world. And if you renewed your mind, it'll make sense to you.
Woo!
This lifestyle of worship is a dedication. It's a decisive dedication. I got to decide to dedicate myself daily to him. Man, I'm talking. Am I helping somebody today? So what, what is real worship? Worship is when my life is a commodity of submission. Adama su hapakanti kufa katesi. Where there is no submission, there is no worship. Ah, see, worship is a trading system. Worship is more about what we are giving, what we are exchanging, and what we are trading for. See, singing, dancing, lifting our hands are only measures of worship, because if you sing and your heart is not giving, your heart is not exchanging, your heart is not trading while you sing, it's not worship. You're just singing. This is why folk call worship their favorite song, and if their favorite song ain't on, they can't worship. That's because you ain't worshiping. You're waiting on to be entertained. You're waiting on a concert. See, if you learn how to trade, you can trade through a sound. You learn how to trade, you can trade through no music. Because, uh-oh, Pastor, because many people in church— Apostle, I told you to go on. I don't know if they gonna like what I gotta say. I'm gonna look at you because, Apostle, many people in the church worship worship.
Yes, they do.
Yes, sir. They don't worship him.
They worship worship.
So the music becomes a crutch. Because I don't know how to exchange. I don't know how to trade. I don't know how to give. When God— When God gave his only son, that was an act of worship. He was given in exchange. Oh my God, y'all okay today? Woo! Oh man, all right. Hallelujah. We can never truly worship the Lord Jesus without revelation. We cannot do it. He is a God that doesn't want anyone to make natural images of himself, which means that whatever image that he wants you to know about him is the image he wants to reveal. You take that image and you worship it. His image. You can make, you can make all the natural stuff that you want. He ain't even in it. He's in only in what he reveals to you. So you cannot really worship if you don't have a revelation of him. 'Cause soon as you think you've captured him, he just shifted. So you gotta understand, God, when the lady was talking to him in John 4 and she was talking about, well, you know, we wanna worship, you know, this mountain, that mountain, she was thinking about a geographical location. The location Jesus was talking about was in the spirit. Y'all hear me here? Jesus, Jesus shifted your location so you won't have to depend on a geographical location. He had to change you to spirit so you can see image. And you know what truth means? God's reality. He wants to make himself real to you. Come on, hallelujah! He wants to make him a reality just for you. See, can't no other religion— no other religion say they know their God. Y'all not hearing me. That's good, that's good. We are the only species of beings in the earth realm that has a God that becomes tangible to us. He puts us in his location so we can experience a reality of who he is. This is why you can lift your hands in a sign called surrender. Come on, y'all ain't hearing me here. Cuz why? I got a revelation.
I have a reality of him.
You know what this means in the Hebraic culture when you lift your hands? You know what this means? It means yes. Oh, y'all ain't get that, did you? When you lift your hands before God, it means— it deals with the why. It means the life of the yes. It's a priestly duty. It's a priestly functionality. It's the lifestyle of the yes. Oh God. Say, he put me in his location so I can experience his reality. See, when he came to see Adam, he was coming to walk with him, which was worship. Because when he told Adam to tend the garden, the word tend means worship. It's me— it means the service as a priest. Every priest worships a god, whether they are false priests with false gods, or you are a priest unto the living God. You gonna worship God. Whatever you consider as a god, you're gonna worship that god. Are y'all with me today? So when he came to fellowship with Adam, he said, where are you? He says, you're not in the location you've always been. We are not yoked together no more. We ain't walking the same pace no more. He wasn't talking about where Adam was in the flesh. Come on, somebody! He was talking about Adam's spiritual location. You lost it. Where you at? I come to be yoked and you ain't in the yoking. See, when you yoke with something, you go the same pace as it. Come on, somebody. You go the same speed in it. Come on, somebody. Adam and God was walking in the speed of glory. You lost your location. Now you're walking according to the flesh. You're too slow. See, you used to be hidden in me. Now you got to hide yourself. So when you don't walk with God, you got to put on false coverings. Lema tu vakatata. Worship is ancient, meaning worship will go through all times. See, you don't even understand how valuable worship is. Even the world— because Lucifer is so deceptive— the world understands worship better than the church. Let me show you. The world— because Lucifer, remember, he used to be what? A covering cherub. So used to— Lucifer knew the glory. Matter of fact, he He was— this is why he had jewels in him, because he was a priest. Matter of fact, he was a high priest. Y'all ain't hear me? He fell from a position, we took it up. That's why he don't like you, because you took his position. Now instead of him worshiping, you get to worship. Instead of him being a priest, you get to be a priest. Y'all not hear me here. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. See, he knew he couldn't overthrow God, so he want to overthrow throw God's image. Are y'all with me here? So anyway, he understands music, he understands worship, he understands trading better than— that's why I said die trafficking. It means die trading. You got uplifted in it, right? He understood what trading looked like. This is why we got sex trafficking now, drug trafficking. He started that. All of his priestly functions you don't even know. Trading systems. That's a trading flow in heaven. That's why it talks about if you give tithes and offerings, it opens up the window. That's the financial window in a trading system. Come on, y'all ain't hear me. God knows stocks and bonds better than we do. Come on. It's a financial trading window. So once you give tithes, the window opens so you can put your offering in there. See, folks that fight over tithes don't understand trading. We don't know our Melchizedek order. We don't know the priestly function. This thing, this thing predated Levi. Yeah, Melchizedek, which we're under that order now. So we shouldn't be fighting over something that we need to trade with. The problem is you just, you have a poverty mentality. The problem is you're stingy because When you trade with God, it breaks off greed. So stop blaming the preacher, saying the preacher greedy. No, you're greedy. You're more greedy than you know. That's why you try to argue against any type of giving, because you are greedy. Trading with God breaks that stuff off of you. That's just like— this is trading. Say trading. It's just like honoring somebody above yourself. It keeps you from self-idolizing. So God puts systems in place to keep you from yourself. That's why we don't understand, because our minds are not aligned with God. They're aligned with man. So we argue against the systems of the kingdom, which can't be shaken when every other system can be shaken.
Anyway, whatever.
'Cause y'all was shouting for a minute, now y'all look at me like, "Oh, he talking about money now." I sure am! 'Cause where you store your treasures is where your heart is. Testing where your soul at. You know, poverty is a damage to the soul. Poverty is more about your soul than your pockets. Woo! Matter of fact, I'm writing a book on poverty, so hey, we gonna talk about that. So anyway, Anyways, you— the world understands worship better than the church. The world can gather people in a concert, get people to lift their hands, get people to repeat the rituals because they understand worship. Because the more they repeat the rituals, the more they lift their head, the more they do what the person on the stage tells them to do, it opens up demonic portals. And they understand it better than the church. Get in the church, you don't want to lift your hand, but you go to a concert and get your dance on and all that, trade with your nasty the dancing, twerking, tweaking, twinking, all that. Trade, trade is worship. You're just worshiping a false God. You don't even understand. These songs got you repeating rituals. And these folk are now revealing all of that stuff. They're telling on themselves on how much rituals they do behind the scene. And we love them. You love these people that mock your Jesus. They mock your Jesus and you're in love with them, sitting there repeating what they're saying, sitting there, sitting there getting their environment. Because the more they get to sing to you, they create an environment for you. And you wonder why you can't tap in. You wonder why you lost when it really time to worship. You wonder why you are fluctuating when it comes time to being at church. You wonder why you don't like prayer no more, you don't like the word no more, because you've been repeating rituals that's been influencing your soul. You better get that witch Beyoncé out of your tracks. She's a whole witch and her husband is a warlock. Get that out your playlist. Cardi B telling you she get influenced by demons, full of them. These folks sitting there telling you how they make it to the top. They call it being butt broken, trading. To get success. So you listen to all this perversion and letting perversion dictate your atmosphere, and you wonder why you're not in love with God or the things of God. Wonder why you can't heal. You wonder why you can't grow. Steady feeding on language that steady feeds your damaged soul. I remember I listened to a song, and it was a good beat. You know, like, okay, okay, the beat. Then he started singing. Oh Lord, heard the words. The beat was banging. Then all of a sudden he said, too late to apologize. Oh, is it too late to apologize? So this man is sitting here spewing unforgiveness out. Put it in a song to make it tight, and we repeat it. And you wonder why your relationships are damaged. I see why I was attacked last night. My Lord.
Shabba.
Just go back and listen to the carnal stuff you're listening to. These are carnal people. These are people who have an unrenewed mind, and they steady make it sound good through beats and their voices. They bring you in. That's what attracts you first, them beats. Oh, oh, oh, then all of a sudden they talking about this whatever. I'm like, oh Lord. But they get you with the beat because the devil knows music. He knows worship. He knows how to trade. And we be like, oh, just music, you dummy. It's beyond just music. You are trading stuff. You know, don't you— don't you know your soul is a commodity? Commodity of exchange. That's why he talks about trading your soul to gain the whole world but then lose it. Come on, it's a trade. So you said you want to be like unrenewed carnal folk. And I ain't— listen, I ain't— listen, listen, I'm even going back to the Isley Brothers. I know they sound good, but watch this. You go back to a photo, all that zesty stuff phone down. I'm talking about they— now y'all not hearing me here. They got this— it's a certain photo, they looking like women on there. All that makeup everywhere, wearing these clothes, look like— uh-huh. But they sound good. Y'all not You just— you got to be— we got to be more observant. Stop falling in love with idols. Get yourself in love with Jesus and let him— let him shape the real you. You are not— the real you cannot be shaped listening to all this trash, unredeemed stuff. It's just not going make you original. It's going to continue to feed you falseness, falsehood, fake stuff. Which brings me to my next point: if you're going to be a worshiper, worship requires authenticity. I'll say this again: worship requires authenticity. You cannot fake angels. You can fake people, can't fake angels. Beings know when your worship is not authentic, 'cause they will only allow what's authentic into the realms of God. You know why? Because the realms of God are the realms of truth. If there's no truth, you can't enter in. There are certain realms that'll be blocked to you because you're not exchanging with truth. That's why he say worship you in spirit and in truth. If you ain't exchanging with truth, there are certain realms you can't get into. Worship gives us access access into bed chambers, which means locations of intimate details, secrets. So the more we worship the Lord, the more secrets we can enter into. Y'all okay back there? Y'all with me so far? All right, I'm almost finished because I see y'all tapping out on me over here. Uh-oh. Every offering of worship the Lord does not accept. Just because you singing don't mean he accept it. It's the thing, and I like giving the example of Cain and Abel. Abel, right? Cain gave what he wanted. Abel gave what God required. Two different dimensions. When you get what you want, you get rejected. When you get what he required, you get accepted. So now you're wondering why so many folks are running past you and tapping in pass you, but you can't go nowhere because you're giving God what you want and not what he requires. See, God required blood, not what's from the ground. How you gonna give the blesser a curse? Giving what he required, which was blood. Oh, we got to learn the legalities. Say legalities. Legalities. Say legalities. Legalities. Man, I'm talking better than y'all saying anything to me. Our worship creates environments that qualify us for God's habitation just as well as witchcraft realm produces environments when they summon evil entities. Your worship creates environments where God can rest. Listen to me, God would never rest where he's not reverenced. He can never rest when he's not reverenced. We don't show God his reverence, he will not rest in your environment. That's why so many churches have a form, they don't have him. You got the dance, the whole thing down, bucking, shouting, spitting, blowing bubbles, flipping, everything you can do. God ain't there. There's no authenticity because you have learned from a fake system how to— how to have the, uh, religious activities, the performance, but you have not learned how to engage God, pray, trade with God. Two different worlds. So now I'm trying to perform to get God instead of being authentic so I can wait on God. Yeah, yeah. And so you see, you see people on big stages sing well. I mean, can sing the paint off the wall and great singers, no oil. They don't build altars in the spirit. They figure out ways on how to entertain you. Oh, all right. Y'all with me so far? Y'all good? What you behold, you can become. What you behold, you can become. You with me? Which means what you worship, you become like. You with me? See, men would take animals or other men and make sacrifices upon the altar of their gods. They believed that their offerings identified them with their gods. This is why worship is so important, because it helps you to become like what you worship. As you worship, you're now identifying with, merging with, and aligning with the blood sacrifice that has already been offered by Jesus. So your worship is blood on the altar. That's what your worship is. Your worship— matter of fact, your worship pleads the blood. His blood on the altar is identifying with the Lamb that was already slain before the foundation of the earth. So as I worship, I identify with what he already did for me. So we see, we worship to see him, hear him, experience and encounter him. And the more you experience him and encounter him, the more you become like what you see, hear, and experience. You are a reflection of him. It's the whole goal. It ain't to entertain you. It's for you to become like him. Yes. Exchange. I need a good old uplifting. Get your butt in him. The Bible said he's your glory and the lifter of your head. So let me tie this worship into warfare real quick. The word prune, P-R-U-N-E, prune in Hebraically means to cut away the bitterness. Pruning And it's also the same concept as music, which means worship removes bitterness. Bitterness is the word bitter, bitter rebel, which means you are a man or a woman filled with chaos. Y'all with me? We see this in David and Saul. Saul was a bitter man, full of chaos, but when David played the harp, when he worshiped— come on, somebody— deliverance hit Saul and refreshed him for a temporary amount of time because the blood was shed for make it permanent. But for a temporary amount of time, when David played with his hands or his fingers, it was war. It was worship that war against the spirit that came upon Saul, cast that spirit out for a temporary amount of time. It pruned the bitter man. So worship will prune your bitterness. You know, bitterness, gall— gall means poison. So which means there is poison in your soul from past encounters that you continue to hold on to, and you hold them against other people. So when somebody new try to come into your life as a destiny helper, you run them away because you're full of chaos. A worshipper gets the chaos out, refreshes your soul. Last but not least, watch this. Psalm 18:34. He teaches my hands to make war. Worship. That's what David did. He used his hands to make war in the spirit. Worship. Oh, this is good. Weeping may endure for a night, but what come in the morning? What come in the morning? This is the word in Hebrew, reena, R-E-E-N-A. It means shout or song of joy. Y'all not hearing me here. Which is violent praise or violent worship. Woo, come on, y'all ain't hearing me here. It's another word for daybreak. So daybreak turns me into violent joy. Oh my God, y'all ain't hearing me. So you got to understand, morning is not another day. Morning is a realm. Come on, somebody. You, you may be sad in a moment. Y'all not hearing me here because night came. Come on, y'all ain't with me here. But then watch this. Soon as you break into violent worship, break into violent praise, now morning comes. You ain't had to wait till the next day. Come on, somebody! You just had to have a realm come upon you. Oh my God, come on, somebody! You can get the spirit of heaviness off of you. Why? Come on, I got to put on another garment. Say another garment. You got to break forth out of the realm of darkness that continues to weigh on you. Come on, you got to get out of that depressed place and put on violent praise, violent worship. Come on, somebody! And as you put on the violence of God, it breaks you out of one realm and puts on another realm. Oh my God! Tiki-tiki-yato-sa. Can you play man of God in your own mind? Hallelujah. Y'all okay so far? He says, Psalm 27:5, for in the time of trouble God shall hide me in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle he shall hide me. He shall set me high upon a rock, and now my head shall be lifted above all my enemies. Enemies all around me, but it didn't stop there. This is the key. Therefore I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tabernacle. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the Lord. There are realms in the spirit that will hide you. Rims in the spirit that will cloak you. Rims in the spirit that will cause you to no longer be located as a demonic target. See, hiding yourself in the secret place must become a safe haven when— watch this— high-level attacks become the consequence of being anointed. Because you're anointed, high-level attacks are going to come against you. Are y'all with me here? But he said there's a place you can hide yourself in him that you'll no longer be a demonic target, and the devil can't locate you in that place no more. See, we become located because we're too low, but God wants to— God wants to raise us in ascension where we can be cloaked in him, clothed and hidden in that secret place in him. See, your secret place ain't a natural realm. It's a, it's a habitation you carry with you. It's realms you go into that covers you. Korabande voko vakande ketiko vanga. Zuteven de de voko vanga ke ke. You gotta let God hide you in this hour. There are rooms in the spirit. There are doors in the spirit. Come on, y'all ain't hear me. This, this is the realm called secret. There are gates in the— gates in the realm of the spirit. They're not too far. There's an ascension that out of your worship and out of your praise, as you enter in, as you enter into the realms of God, he will place you into high places that will become secret, that only you and God and his entourage will have access to. Come on, come on, ask the Lord to hide you in this place, hide you in his rooms, hide you in his doors, hide you in his gates, hide you behind his garrison, his wall, his stronghold. Come on, come on, give your worship unto him. Come on, trade with your Father in the Spirit. I know you may be tired of your body, but your body don't run you. You are not body ruled. You are spirit rule. Your spirit rules you. Come on, your spirit is one with the Holy Ghost. Come on and give him another yes in the room. Come on, hide me, oh God, hide me in your pavilion, hide me in your secret dimension, hide me in realms where the enemy can't locate me no more.
Hide me, oh God!
Let the whirlwind take you up, Papa. Come on, go in, go in, go in, go in, go in by yourself. You don't need nobody to coach you. You go in. Come on, let the glory take you up. He is the glory. He is the glory. Go into him. Go into him. Go into him. Go into him. Go into the location with him. Come on, come on, come on! Press in, press in, press in, press in, press in! Come on, tell your body you ain't ruling me tonight. I'm going to go high, I'm going to go high, I'm going to go high, I'm going to go in hide. Come on, go and hide somewhere with God. Come on, the glory says these enemies you see before you, you won't see them no more. You won't see them no more. You won't see them no more. You won't see them no more.
No more, no more, no Come on, let the Lord drown you with the waters of God.
Let him drown your enemies tonight. Let him drown your enemies tonight. Let him drown the enemy of sickness and disease. Come on, let him drown the enemy of poverty. Let him drown the enemy— come on, divorce, whatever you're facing tonight, whatever enemy you're facing, let him drown the enemies tonight. Come on, worship the King. Worship your King. Give him another yes. Surrender tonight. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Come on, come on.
Come on, worship him, worship him. If you got to walk around, if you got to lay out, if you got to get on your knees, I don't care. Come on, just worship your king in this place.
Kanye.
You won't see those enemies no more. Let them drown out the enemies of your soul. Let them drown out the bitterness. Let them drown out the traumas. Let them drown out the offenses. Let them drown out the unforgiveness. Let them drown. Let them drown out the anger. Let them drown out the witchcraft! Let them drown it out, drown it out, drown it out, drown it out! You won't see these enemies no more, no more, no more, no more, no more! Come on, let him drowning, let him drowning, let him drowning whatever separates you from people. Come on, let them drowning today. Dratoma— let them heal them with the rivers.
Let them heal with the rivers.
Let them heal with the rivers. The rivers of living water. Let the leaves, let the leaves. Come on, come on, eat from the leaves tonight, the healing leaves. Eat tonight. Come on, worship, worship, worship. Come on, come on, worship your King in this place. He is so worthy, he is so mighty, he is so glorious. See the enemies no more. No more, no more, no more. Come on, worship, worship. Jesus, we worship you, we worship you, we give you all the glory. Glory. Woo! Come on, let the glory be your rearward guard. Just go ahead and surrender. The glory will fight for you. Go ahead and surrender. The glory will be your rear guard. You ain't got to worry about your back. The glory will guard your back. Go on, go on, go on in, go on in. Don't be afraid, just go on in. He's training you on how to trade with him. The more you tell your body, I don't care how I feel, I'm going to trade with God, I'm going to worship him. The more he's training you to trade, the more you trade, the more you can reign with him in the earth. Omamande yodo siede. It's going to take a disciplined lifestyle to consistently trade with the Lord, to come out of low-level thinking and low-level living and low-level character. It's going to take discipline.
Ah, glory! Come on, worship! We love you, Jesus. We love you, Jesus. I want to do one thing, just one thing real quick. As Apostle was teaching, I just want to go back to something he was teaching in the beginning. It's so powerful. And one of the things I want— keep playing, Pastor, keep playing, keep playing— it's so powerful. Because this meeting is designed— I wanted you to be able to take things out of here that you can use right now. And one of the things Apostle taught is how trauma from your past, things you've gone through, behaviors that you've gone through, they show up in your life now. And those are literally not just traumas, they're curses. The curses that are spoken by words, the curses that are entered into your life through behaviors. And I want to make sure we break that tonight. One discipline we must practice— that as Apostle was talking about discipline, I believe church folk can be some of the most undisciplined people on the planet. We have good church and we never show up in the world. But one of the disciplines you can practice on a daily basis that will change your life forever, and it'll keep the enemy off of you, and that's the discipline of prophetic decrees, of making prophetic decrees out of your mouth, saying what God says, declaring what's already yours. A decree is a disciplined word that brings a manifested promise to your life. So when you decree a thing, the Bible says it shall be established. So I want to decree prophetically tonight, and I want you to repeat after me because you can have what you say. And I want to activate this in your life in the spirit. We want to break every curse, every word curse, And we're going to decree tonight that after we say these things, the enemy will have to back up and leave us alone for good. As a matter of fact, I declare that everything that shows up in your life that does not belong, it will have no more authority.
It will no longer have a legal right to challenge you again.
It's going to be over forever because some of your financial difficulties, it's a curse connected to it. Some of your health issues, there's a curse connected to it. The bitterness, that's a— it's a curse connected to it. But we say, touch your belly, say, I got prophetic power and I'm about to decree a thing and it shall be established.
So say this, when we say in the name of Jesus, say, I decree that my feet are set free from any demonic influence as a result of contact with contaminated grounds I have walked upon. Say, I decree and declare That the plots for my premature death and satanic diseases within my body or my mind as a result of contact with contaminated territories are immediately arrested and aborted right now. In Jesus' name. Say, I decree and declare that satanic infiltration and demonic penetration assigned against me are blocked right now in Jesus' name. Say, I arrest satanic invasion of what concerns me. Say, I arrest and overturn it now. Say, my hedge is sealed by the blood of Jesus. Say, I decree tonight that demonic forces assigned to set traps to snare my feet are intercepted and arrested. I declare now in Jesus' name that every snare set for me is broken even now in the name of Jesus. Let the shackles break. Let the nets be destroyed. I deploy the hand of God to break satanic cords. Set for me in Jesus' name. Say, I command pits dug for me to be blocked and traps to be destroyed by fire in Jesus' name. Say, I escape satanic landmines and I declare In the name of Jesus, they are diffused right now. In Jesus' name, say, I decree and declare my heels escape satanic nets and my feet are released from satanic plots and satanic devices. I deploy The blood of Jesus to silence demonic incantations, counter occult spells, to destroy demonic arrows, to boomerang satanic webs and cause them to be destroyed. I declare tonight that any demonic influence that has showed up in my life to hinder my spiritual ascension will be blocked in the name of Jesus. Say this, say, in the name of Jesus, I decree tonight that the ground where I stand, the ground where I live, the ground where I worship is consecrated unto the Lord. In Jesus' name, I declare wherever I tread, the ground is holy. And I declare that the atmosphere that surrounds me is cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Say this: I rebuke every demonic force, every veil demon that attempts to intrude my atmosphere. Say, in the name of Jesus, I dust myself from the stress of yesterday. I erase my footprints, my fingerprints, my voice prints, and any form or any means by which I can be demonically identified, I decree now that they are perpetually wiped out in the name of Jesus, that they are perpetually destroyed in the name of Jesus. And I decree and declare that the devil has no more right to attack my life, to attack my children, to attack my family, to attack my body, to attack my finances. For I will ascend, for I declare the devil is defeated and God is exalted in Jesus' name. If you believe what you just said, open your mouth and shout about it. Hallelujah! Hallelujah! The devil is defeated and God is exalted. You can ascend, you can go to other levels and dimensions, you can enter new rooms in the spirit. Everything Apostle taught We have access to it. Lord says tonight, you have access to me.
The question is, he's asking you, do I have access to you? He says you have access to me, but do I have access to you? Have you surrendered your heart? Have you surrendered your mind? Just for a few moments, I want you to lift your hands. Just a few moments. Spirit of the Living God is here. Somebody say, we've been here a long time. But you can't hurry God. You got to be able to wait on him. We got to stop putting time limits on God. You can sit up and binge-watch a show for 10 hours but can't tarry in the presence 3. Yes, Lord, it takes time to get out of time. That's so true, Apostle. God is here and he wants to do something for you. That word was so rich. And I pray you've received tonight. And this is why, you know, many times me and Apostle get together, we pray for people, we prophesy. But I believe that that word was so solid tonight, that the prophetic word was poured into you through the teaching, and you should receive that tonight. See, we can really get religious with prophecy. And we're paralyzed because we feel like we need to perform for you. Are y'all hearing this? But when you're mature, you can receive the word, you can eat that, and you can walk that out. I'm telling you, we win. We've already won. Amen. Are y'all hearing this? Glory to God. Lift those hands for me, please. Just a few moments, just a few moments. Remember, Apostle said, which is so true, Spirit and Truth deals with the idea that your heart is connected to a truth about him that you found value in. So you worship because of that value you found. It's hard to worship him if you don't see no value in him. But just for the next 2 minutes, while Pastor Jeffrey is playing that melody that sounds like a harp— it's heavenly— I want you to lift your hands up and just begin to give the Lord the fruit of your lips. Come on, from your heart. I just want us to take a moment and give some heart worship. While, while I was sitting there, one of our, our members was in traffic and a car was on fire. They had been in traffic on the way to church, just sitting there for 2 hours, about as long as Apostle was preaching, on their way to church, and they still hadn't moved. And I want us to begin to worship that something miraculous would just happen at that crash site right now, because cars were on fire. We want to trust God that humans will live and death would be rebuked.
Come on, just begin to worship God now.
Their lives will be spared. Father, we worship you because you're the life giver.
You're the life giver, God. God is in you, we live.
It's in you, we move.
And it's in you, we have our being. And so, Father, we thank you for giving life, even at that accident scene.
We rebuke death.
Even if someone already died, we command them to get up and live now in the name of Jesus. But we decree and declare that their death was premature. And Father, so we worship not for ourselves, but we put ourselves on the altar and we give you the sacrifice of worship even at this late hour, because we want life to happen, we want deliverance to happen. Glory to the name of God. Somebody down the street, God, is getting ready to do crack cocaine in their house. But God, in the name of Jesus, while we worship in here, we declare that angels are being released and dispatched to that house now. And God, we thank you that they're putting the crack pipe down, and they're gonna understand that it was God that intercepted their addiction tonight. And even in their home, they'll be delivered, they'll be set free, and they'll find their way into this place, and they'll testify that it was 10:30 at night, I was about to do drugs, and something began to go through my body, and I put the crack pipe down, and I'm here because I want to be with God.
Oh God, we thank you, we thank you.
See what your worship, it transcends this space. Somebody told me last night that something was happening with their sister inside of the marriage of the sister. But I dare you to worship God tonight. God will begin to arrest that husband and arrest that bitterness that's in him. Arrest that anger and that violence that's in that husband and bring deliverance to his life. And he'll stop abusing that wife, and he'll give that wife boldness and strength to understand that she needs to get herself out of that space until he gets right. God, I give you glory as we worship you. Kilata mando. God, we worship you tonight because as people who are on welfare are losing SNAP benefits and food stamps, God, but I decree and declare that as we worship, there'll be a shift in this region, a mindset where we won't need Hallelujah! To think of concerning SNAP and welfare, but we'll move from welfare to God fare. And we thank you, God, in the name of Jesus, that single mothers and people that need it, but they'll lean on supernatural provision, and you'll make ways out of no way.
As we worship As we give you glory. Somebody's wrestling with stage 4 cancer. As we worship, we thank you that the cancer is dried up.
We declare now in the name of Jesus. Somebody's career has been stuck and at a standstill. As we worship tonight, we declare breakthrough in the career. We declare that the career will be loosed. We release promotion, for promotion come not from the east or the west, it come not from the south, but promotion come from you, Lord. And as we worship tonight, we declare that your people are being promoted.
Whoosh! In the name of Jesus, I heard that, Father. The Lord said, as we worship, there'll be no more dry seasons.
No more dry seasons.
Your worship shall exchange for you Seasons of abundance, seasons of breakthrough and increase. We give you glory, God. We— We give you the honor. Glory to God. Thank you, Jesus. We give you glory. We gonna get out of here because all some of y'all gonna do is go home and watch TV anyway. You know, before you got saved, you were just— what is it, 11 o'clock? You were just going to the club. Now, and we come to church and be ready to go, but God is so good. Did y'all receive tonight? Glory to God! What a great God we serve. What an amazing God we serve. Apostle, you got something else? I'm telling you, that was solid. That was what we needed. We're going to take this opportunity to give really quickly and we're going to go. If you guys will put the ways Give up on the screen. Glory to God. There are about 5 ways you can give to this church. Glory to God. Wonderful Savior. Giving— listen to me before you do it— is an act of worship. I'll say it again, it's an act of worship. It's a part of the exchange system. I love investing in the natural, but in the realm of the spirit, giving is my greatest investment. I make money when I invest in the natural, but let me tell you something, this investment in the kingdom is my greatest investment. Are y'all hearing this? I'm blessed to invest things to— in things in the natural because I invest in the kingdom. My barns are filled with plenty because I'm an investor in the kingdom. And we have to learn to not be intimidated when it comes to giving. You should be happy when it's time to give. Okay, I'll say that again.
You should be happy when it's time to give.
God loves a cheerful giver. Hilarious in Greek, which means you are overwhelmingly excited about releasing a part of you.
So tonight, I want you—
I want you to pray about what you give. I don't want you to give haphazardly. Joyfully-yam. I want you to make a sacrifice. Some of y'all ain't paid tithes since the war. So a good place to start is to give God what you owe him. Are you hearing this? Because it's hard to get blessed off a seed if you're not a tither. Because if you're not a tither, you're cursed. Oh, it's real quiet. Okay, I'm gonna go, but you know, two things in church folk don't want to talk about. Two. One, sex. We want to talk about sex at church, and we don't want to talk about money. But here's the problem: we want some of both of them. Yeah, okay. Yeah, look how y'all looking. It's the truth.
Well, let me talk for me.
I want some of both of them. Matter of fact, I want a whole lot of both of them, and that's why I'm married. Are y'all hearing this? That, that's why I, I do business the way I do, because I want to operate in the realm of blessing. Are y'all hearing this? We have to get comfortable with money. And in order to get money from God, you got to get in position. You can't $5 God to death and expect your harvest to be greater than your seed. Your harvest is always proportionate to your seed. So I want you to get a sacrifice tonight. I'm not going to tell you what to do, but I want you to make a sacrifice unto the Lord because we want to make sure we meet the budget of this meeting. Glory to God. And take care of Apostle— we want to be a blessing to him. And we want you to move in overflow because you chose to trust God. Those of you watching us on YouTube. We're streaming by 3 Facebook pages right now, Instagram, wherever you're watching. We want you to participate in this time of giving. Let's pray and we're going to worship the Lord now. Give it. So Father, in Jesus' name, we thank you for the man of God. We thank you for what we received last night and tonight. So many things coincided and aligned. God, teach us to rest in you. And to trust your word. And Father, even as we give tonight, we believe that giving is an act of worship. Your word says that we give, it shall be given unto us good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall men give to our bosom. The word also says whatsoever we sow, that shall we reap. So Father, tonight we thank you that we will honor your word, we'll rest in it, We'll take what we have and we'll give unto you, and we'll expect you to take that seed and turn it into what we need. And we declare it tonight in the mighty name of Jesus. So be it, and thanks be to God. Amen. Would you clap your hands and give God praise? Glory to God. Oh yeah, yes, yes, for sure. Yep, these them two books I prophesied that Apostle would write this year, and they both are amazing. I read them, they both are amazing. So you need to get them in your life. Amen. So Apostle has these with him. We're going to give you some on the table. You want to put them out there, Apostle, you can, uh, His armor bearer Wendell is here. Oh, and Pastor Rochelle, they will take care of you. But what— and Apostle say he'll sign it. So these two books, one is called Tongues: The Language of the God Class. This is your heavenly language. Glory to God. I was talking to a pastor last week and he was talking about how he preached this message against tongues. He was I'm talking to the wrong person. I just started speaking in tongues while he was talking. Are y'all hearing this? Glory to God. But the reality is, if you read this book, you're gonna immediately be inspired to pray in the Spirit. So you need it in your life. Amen. And I believe if you've never prayed in the Spirit, pick this book up. I believe there's fire on it. And while you read it, you'll be filled with the Holy Spirit and you begin to speak in tongues. Hallelujah. Now this one is called Fire from Above: The Lifestyle of Burning Ones, and this is really a part of Apostle's life message. Glory to God. And all of us carry fire, right? We are burning ones. So get these books in your life. I promise you, they're They will bless your soul. Let's pray over all of it. Has everybody given, huh? Oh, some people have natural money. Thank you. Yes. So if you own— if you want to do it on the way out, you want to do it now, you can. If you have physical money or a check, you can bring it and drop it in there. Make your check payable to Rhoda Church. Glory to the name of God. All right, we're gonna get out of here tomorrow morning. We'll be back in this place, uh, if you registered. We got a good lineup of workshops that we've scheduled for you on tomorrow, and, uh, you need to be in the building. We're going to start promptly at 10. Uh, we're going to start off talking about casting out demons, and then the next session we're going to talk about— Apostle covered a lot of it tonight So we're just gonna kind of let it flow. Tomorrow we're gonna talk about the weapon of worship, and then we're gonna talk about— glory to the name of God— air traffic controllers in the spirit, what that looks like, what that means. And then we're going to activate what we teach in your life in the last section, because we want you again to use this stuff. We got lunch prepared for you. So please come so we can not have all this food left over. So make sure you come so that you can be a part of what God's going to do on tomorrow. Then we're going to close this out on Sunday morning at 10 o'clock, um, and Apostle Lyons, just— we're just going to kind of tag team and minister together on Sunday. So it's going to be great. So please come. Don't listen— I know someone said, well, tonight was enough. We've been here all night. Now, somebody told me the last time Apostle was here— this is what somebody actually said— they said, I went to church enough that night for the rest of my life.
That's, that's what they said. Did he not say it? He said— and we ain't seen him since.
He really meant that word. Glory to God. But thanks be to God, you got to be hungry. When you're hungry, you'll sit and eat. Listen, when you go to a buffet— and I hate buffets— but you ever notice when people go to a buffet, they, they stay there, number one, long as they can. That's why they're there. Now, I don't understand, you know, you could be here till the place closed. You take your plate and you go up there and stack everything on the plate. You got everything on the buffet on your plate, and you trying your best to get all you can eat on that one plate. You can go back, you can stay there long as you want. And we got to get like that, really though, about church. I We got to be able to just take all we can. Now, if nothing's being said, I'm, I'm all for let's go home. But tonight the word was rich and it was exactly what we needed. Amen. Glory to God. Y'all stand, we going home. Apostle, did you see Prophetess Grant over there? Oh, did you? Okay. Glory. Yeah, she, she, she, she be beginning out, man. But we thank God a lot. And, and I, I pointed that out because just you and her being in the same room, it just bring back so many memories for me, you know, just training y'all and watching y'all come up and to see what God is doing in both of y'all life now. It's just amazing, man. When Apostle first came to our church in Jackson, Mississippi, Apostle didn't really want to hold the mic nothing. He won't do nothing now. He don't want to put the mic down, but we thank God. He claimed he got that from me, but I will— we— that's another conversation for another day. Glory to God. Praise God. But we thank God. Thank God for all of our visitors. Give yourself a hand if you're visiting with us. Glory to God. Thank God for Myrtle's husband. She told me you was coming. Good to see you, sir. And welcome to Rudder Church. Thank you. I pray you were blessed. Glory to— glory to God. I hope we can see you again. Y'all, all of y'all, y'all, we want to see y'all again. Glory to God. Y'all come back and see us. We're building something here very special. I, um, and I'm gonna let you go. I was on my way over to the church earlier today, and there's about 35 acres of land about 3 minutes from here, and I just begin to decree and declare that that land is ours. Amen. And I begin to call it into what God has called us to do in Ellenwood. Because when God told me to plant this church, this is where he told me to come. He said, this is where it's going to happen. We don't have church everywhere in the city, but he said, this is where it's going to happen. And Apostle, I'm going to buy them 33 acres. And we're going to build a kingdom embassy, embassy for God right here in Ellenwood, and we're going to see the glory of God. Amen. Come on, Prophet Shannon, say the final word and dismiss us.
Glory to God.
I'm kind of drunk, so y'all gonna have to bear with me. That was an awesome word. Came in here throwing bowls, Apostle. But we thank him for what we needed. We need it. And in this season that we're going into, truth is needed, purity is needed. So amen and ouch for all of it. All right, we'll pray. My God, thank you, Lord. Thank you for the wisdom and revelation that came forth. We thank you for chains broken just by your word. We thank you for deliverance that happened just by your word. We thank you for mindset changes just by your word. We thank you for hearts being healed and mended and put back together, fragments being brought from the past being made whole. We thank you for that in the name of Jesus. We thank you that your word performed surgery on places that we wouldn't let you touch, Father. We thank you for the atmosphere where we could be safely open and vulnerable so that you could come in and do the necessary work in our hearts. And we thank you that this weekend, everyone who is faithful and disciplined to attend will leave it whole and healed. Father, we ask that you cover Apostle Brandon, my dad, that you refill him, refuel him, and give him back everything that he poured out I plead the blood of Jesus over him. I declare and decree that he is hidden as he stays here in Atlanta, Georgia. I thank you that he will have sweet sleep and sweet rest, that he will not toss or turn. We thank you, Lord, that you will minister to his heart in his sleep and in his dreams. I thank you, Lord, that he will have the best rest he's had in a long time. I thank you, Lord, that as he sleep, that you will give him wisdom wisdom and revelation for the things that you have set forth for him to do for the end of this year and going into the next. Lord, I thank you, Father, that the work that you have for him here, Lord, it will be established, it will be accomplished, it will not be aborted. I thank you for Rodda Church. I plead the blood of Jesus over— I thank you for sending your sentries to set guard so that nothing will be stolen, nothing will be misinterpreted. And I thank you for covering us, Father. And I pray that you go with us as we leave this place, but never your presence, that we all make it to our destination safe and sound, and that you will bring us back here tomorrow morning refreshed and ready to receive. We bless you and praise you in Jesus' name. Amen.
