Hesed Ojieh leads a Sunday worship service at Welkin Creek exploring how blessings work: God blessing people, people blessing God, people receiving blessings, and people becoming blessings. The service emphasizes spoken words and prophetic declaration, with testimonies of a car accident that led to a financial check and a land-cruiser purchase.

Go with me to Numbers chapter 6. Hallelujah!
Baruch Hashem Adonai! Blessed is he that cometh in the name of our God. Bible says in Numbers chapter 6, call me.
Hallelujah!
Father, today, Lord, open our hearts, open our hearts, Father. Let your word not just stay in the realm of our minds, not in the realm of our soul, but let it reside in our spirit, Father. You are the God of utterance. You are the utterance.
Great through your word.
You spoke your word and never returned void. Father, open our hearts to receive.
Let there be no mind travel. Let there be no distraction. Let there be no tiredness, no lukewarmness, nothing from the pit of hell that will rule and reign over this service.
Holy Spirit, we commit this to you in Jesus' name. Numbers chapter 6. Hallelujah. Shaka dabaya. And the Lord bless you, keep you, make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you. The Lord lift up your countenance. The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you shalom, peace. Start 6 feet away from somebody that read scripture prophesy to person start 6 feet away look at someone prophecy Scripture hallelujah! Look six feet— number of Six prophesy prophecy oh come on speak forth hallelujah!
Speak for him hallelujah!
Come on ramana rama...
May the Lord bless you. Hallelujah! Tell somebody, may the Lord bless you, may the Lord keep you, make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you. Oh God, lift up his countenance and give that person peace. Look at somebody, can I prophesy about that person now? May the Lord bless you. Prophesy, prophesy! May the Lord bless you. I decree, I command, I declare over you, may the Lord bless Bless you, hallelujah, in the name of Jesus. Keep standing, I'll show you the second book. Hallelujah, may the Lord bless you. Do you know that word 'may' is 'permit'? The Lord is permitted to bless you. Ephesians chapter 3, verse 20. Now unto him that is able to do I cannot hear. I cannot hear. I cannot hear.
I can't hear.
That all that you can ask or think according—
I can't hear you—
that is already at work. Hold that scripture. Let's break it down now so that when you are saying that word, you know what it means.
He said, unto him that is able to do exceedingly. He exceeds your expectation.
He exceeds your prayers exceedingly abundantly. Look at that. Look at that. Look at that. What does he say again? More than you can I cannot hear you prophesy. Now hold on, sir.
The blessing of God is in speaking and is in thinking. I didn't hear you. That's right. Yes, the blessing of God is not when you say it. You have to say and think concurrently.
Amen. Amen.
Amen.
Yes, I've already read the Bible.
As far as— look at it again—
more than we can think or ask or imagine. Amen. So if you don't actually say it but you are thinking it, it can happen. Yes. So when you're saying I'm blessed, you didn't say anything, but you are thinking it.
Boom!
That blessing begins to work. Are you here?
I know I'm blessed. So even though you didn't see anything, but when you wake up in the morning, you are thinking blessed.
I'm thinking healed. I think so. Can I say this? That you can think your way into blessing, right? Right. So take your seat.
Kalabadu solo.
Having said that, The blessing of God appears in 4 ways in the Bible. I want you to hear this very quickly. The blessings of God appears, or is pronounced, or is executed, or it is declared, or it is manifested, or it is explained, or it is declared in 4 ways. Follow me this morning. Number 1, the Bible says In Genesis chapter 1, verse 28, the Bible said, and God blessed them. So God can bless someone. I mean, did you hear me? Yes. Well, let me ask you a question. What if I bless you with a Rolls-Royce but you don't know how to drive? Whose fault is that? I can't hear you. What if I bless you with a house and you don't know how to keep the house? Whose fault is that? The fault is not the one that released the blessing. But the fourth is the one that received the blessing. Amen. So God has the power to release blessing. And remember that the word blessing has nothing to do with money, has nothing to do with healing. It has to do with the word called barak, the power to succeed. Amen. Yes, hallelujah. So when the blessing of God comes upon you, you automatically succeed even though you are not trying to succeed. How many of you have eaten without trying to eat? How many of you have eaten without trying to eat? Let me tell you how it works. You go to the refectory to take some drinks, you're eating but you're not trying to eat. How many of you know you take it so that you just drink half of it and keep it back there? You're eating but the protocol of you sitting down is not there, so you are participating even though that you're not giving attention to it. Did you get what I said? So when God said you are blessed, he already automatically put inside of you the prophetic engineering that will make you succeed even if you try not to succeed.
Are you hearing me?
A friend of mine was sharing a testimony years ago, and he was so praying to God every day, God bless me, God bless me. God didn't bless him. The only car he had had an accident and somebody smashed the car.
And he never had a car for 2 weeks, and he was complaining to God, complaining to God. Meanwhile, he was owing $18,000 on that car, but no car. He was praying every day, God.
Some of you go through trials and you think that that's just the end. No, the mechanism of blessing is still in the problem that you're facing. And 2 weeks later, they cut him a check of $18,000.
The accident became an incident for God to bless him.
Somebody here, God is going to show you an incident that an accident that will turn out to be your favor, and there'll be no harm in that incident. Anyone that attacks you, God will use it to promote you. Now the Bible says, and God blessed man. So God never gave man the formula to succeed. God never gave man ABCDEF on how to succeed. All he gave man was the power to succeed. Are you hearing me? God does not give you the principles. God does not give you how to cook. He gives you the wisdom to cook. Amen. Are you hearing me? So when God made man, the only thing God did for man was put a label on him, blessed. That means if man cooked, he blessed, he was blessed.
If man did anything, the blessing of God automatically flows in that man.
And let me tell you something, this is where it got me so confused. God did not just bless man, he blessed goats, he blessed cows.
Am I talking to somebody?
And I began to ask the Lord, ask my God, If you bless goats, there's no prayer meeting where goats gather. Goats gather to find food to eat. I didn't hear you. Sir, there's no meeting where dogs are gathered and say, the chief pastor over this dog pen is praying for food to come.
Am I talking to somebody?
And I never saw where lions gather with all the lions to pray and intercede, oh God, we are dying of food. No, the lion has within his capacity the power to hold anything that is inside her, because the power to succeed is not external but internal. So God is saying, I put it already in man, is it you? How many of you have— how many of you—
oh my God, I thought about this a couple of days ago. How many of you see the puppy that you have at home on the dog that when you are eating, the dog begins to cry, 'I'm dying of hunger.' That's what you pray to God, 'God, I'm dying, my bills cannot be paid.' No, the power is the instrument in the success that God has for you. Are you hearing me?
So the first way man was blessed, first way you see blessing in the scripture is God empowering man.
Can I have an amen? Amen. Then the second time you see the word bless is God— man empowering God.
Bible says in Psalm 103, he said, blessed be the Lord. So when man blesses God, it empowers God to be who he is in his life.
Oh, you didn't hear me.
He says, bless be God. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord for my soul will not forget your benefit. So every time man blesses God, every time he say, God, I bless you, I thank you, the power— look at it there— he says, and forget not all his benefits. So when you bless God, the benefit of God comes into your life. Hallelujah! Are you, are you hearing me? You hear people say, oh, bless the Lord, oh, bless the Lord. It's an instrument of power, it's an instrument of prosperity, it's an instrument of healing. Because when you bless the Lord, you are declaring that he is the power to succeed. He is God that makes— gives you the power to succeed. But that is not a good level. When God blesses a man, that is not it.
Oh, come on, what is wrong? Because God never blessed Adam twice. It was when Adam failed that the curse came in. Now let me say that again. God does not, God does not refurbish, repeat, change his mind. When he speaks it, it's for eternal.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you hearing?
When he says you are blessed.
So you know the story, right?
Adam now goes in. But before we talk about that, so when you see man bless God, the power of blessing is released.
Now the third realm is when God sends a man to a man to bless the man.
The Bible says in Numbers—
go with me to Numbers chapter 6. Look at me, everybody. In Numbers chapter 6, the Bible says, hallelujah, the Lord bless and keep you.
You read that scripture, right? Look at me. So firstly, this morning, God's major assignment was to bless man, which he did. God's major assignment was for man to bless him always.
When you fall, say, Lord, I bless you. When things don't work, I say, Lord, I bless you.
When you don't understand the situation, you release the blessing.
Hallelujah!
When you want to succeed, you release the blessing.
Hallelujah!
And look at everybody, this is so— this is so unbelievable.
Do you know that some of you just woke up in the morning and start morning?
Ah, it's morning.
You know the Bible says in Genesis chapter 1 that God blessed the day.
Amen!
Yes. Now, when last did you bless your day? When last did you speak to 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock, 4 o'clock? When last did you sit down and speak the blessing, the power to succeed upon every day, upon every week?
Some of you say, 'Thank God, it's Friday.
I can relax and pull back and watch some Netflix.' Why don't you say, 'God, I thank you for this weekend.
I bless your name for this weekend,' because you have to pronounce the authority, the power to let God come in and Blessed that day. Hallelujah. Now let's go deeper. So Bible says in Numbers 6:24, and look at everybody, the priest will always go in.
Hallelujah.
And most of the time they're going before the service. Hallelujah. And begin to release pronunciation blessing. It's called the benediction of God. Hallelujah. They will begin to pray over the parishioners and pray over the members of the church. Even now they still do. Years after I pronounce blessing upon the male, upon the children, you are blessed, but the Lord causes his face to shine upon you. And I want you to remember that blessing that God gave to Moses to pray over Aaron and the children of Israel, it was powerful. And even generation after, it becomes an edge in people's lives that you must— God sends men to bless you. You need to have men in your life who pronounce the blessing of God upon you, who pronounce the benediction of God upon you. That word benediction means the closing, the opening and the closing of the blessing of God. It's called the benediction of God. So they would always pray over the people, pray over your children. When you have a child who is stubborn, just call the child, begin to pray the benediction. A man said a story very Powerful story that his son was always struggling in school, struggling in school. He did everything, did everything, did everything. And one day God said to him, you are the father. The Bible says let the seed produce after its kind. There is a law of reproduction in the things of the spirit that you can begin to pronounce benediction. And every day he says he will call the son and pronounce benediction. May the Lord bless you, may the Lord cause his face to shine upon you. And all of a sudden he realizes that the thing, the voice of disobedience And the voice of struggle in the child's mind began to break, and the benediction of the Lord began to penetrate the heart. And that child grew up and became an A-class student and ended up becoming a medical doctor. Why? Because of the pronunciation, the release of the benediction upon that child. The blessing is in power. So you know, through the scripture, hallelujah, even Elijah, Elijah, anyone in the scripture, God would always send them to go and pray for this person and bless the person and bless the person.
Well, let me tell you, it's a terrible life to live if you have nobody blessing you.
Some of you don't even know how to bless. How many of you remember the story of Esau and Jacob?
Right, how many of you remember?
Hallelujah.
How many of you know that when the father pronounced the blessing upon the son—
I think it was Esau—
when Esau came back, the father couldn't do it again. Couldn't do it again.
Why?
Because once the blessing is released upon you, it can never be reversed from you.
Wow.
When someone says you are blessed, how do you know that the curse in your—
our lives is because of the lack of blessing?
The space the blessing should stay is where the curses are staying. Do you know there's nothing legal on earth that can curse you except you open the door for the curse to come? But if your heart and your life is full of blessings, there's no curse that can come. They can gather in Alaska, come together, Kampala, wherever they are. Once you are blessed, you are blessed. And the Bible says The father said, I cannot— oh, this is so powerful— I cannot release curse upon the one that I blessed. And he ran with it. Oh, this is so powerful. Let me tell you something now. I want to say this very carefully. You must have people— oh my God— you must— the people that God has assigned to you, you must know what it takes to release the blessings from their mouth. It was the mother that knew how to release the blessing upon the son. Amen. Many of you come in the company of greatness, people who should bless you, keep talking, talking, talking, talking, talking. You miss the moment that you should have been blessed, empowered, spoken over. The mother knew how to intercept the prophetic blessing upon his son. Many of you come into a prophet's garden, you come into a place and you just talk and talk your story. The story you are talking about don't even matter, doesn't even concern the prophet, does not concern the pastor. You should come in the company of a man greater than you and be quiet. The Bible said let the less be blessed by the better. When you come in the company of mantles, you release yourself, say bless this Speak over me because it engineers, it empowers you. Hallelujah! Don't come into the company of greatness and begin to talk.
Talk?
What are you talking?
That's how Noah entered the ark and came out. Came out? I don't know if he came out. Who wants to know that? Life is full of challenges.
Life is full of trouble.
Make sure that every day someone is blessing you. Make sure you are open to receive blessing. And the mother knew that the only thing that would changing someone's life was the blessing of the father. And that's so powerful. And the Bible says this is so powerful, she begins to mimic, practice that if the father would touch the head, he would think he's the son of birthright. Let me break that down. There are sons that are sons of the spiritual birthright and the sons of the natural birthright. You understand me? That the mantle of the Father only comes upon you when you are able to understand the systems.
Hallelujah!
See, there are systems that guides every anointing. Now hear everybody, how many of you remember that broke the alabaster oil? She didn't just come and say, guess what, I got some oil from Macy's, I got some oil from Macy's, this is my last oil. No, she knew that the protocol to receive a blessing was to release that oil.
And Jesus said to the disciples, guys, I've been here 3 and a half years, you couldn't even know that I needed preparation. Terrible.
You must be like that woman to understand the transportation when your life needs an oil.
Don't even say, just say, pour on me. Let me tell you something, the one bring upon you doesn't matter. Bible say that Elijah said to the prophet, go into the house of Hesed Ojieh, that when you are known to run away, the man praying for you doesn't matter. You might like his color, like his shape, like his face, don't matter. You matter because he's a transporter of what you need to transport yourself to the next level. I don't like him, he's black, green, yellow, fat. No, that's not important.
The blessing is what you need. So God says, man, that is another form, but this is where we stop. This is the problem. We stop there. A man of God comes in town. I hear Michael Jackson is in town.
You go.
I hear Billie Jean is on Facebook Live. You put your hands. You hear rock and roll Steve Jackson is there. You go. How many heads are they blessing?
Am I right? Yes.
Okay, guess what, guess what, guess what, guess what? If you see, if you see this preacher on Facebook, oh wow, I'm following her, you are following someone that is not following you.
Come on.
Can I preach?
Yes.
If Elijah has to prophesy over you and pray over you, if you like, meet Prophet Testita, she will not, she will not do anything because in the order of God, somebody is assigned to to bless you.
Amen.
Do you know that when Jesus Christ met John the Baptist, John was boasting, the one who is to come, I cannot lace up his shoes, right? And in the midst of Jesus Christ complaining that I can't even do this oil, this, this baptism, Jesus Christ says, do it that the scripture be fulfilled.
So he knew, Jesus knew that his gateway, his gateway into that city was John the Baptist.
Hallelujah.
Even though John was confused, he knew. You have to know where the oil is is. You have to know where your blessing is. Hallelujah! And you go after it. Hallelujah! And that's why I keep telling people, for me, I don't listen to more than one person. I listen to one person over and over and over and over. Only one preacher I listen to over and over, over and over. If he smiles, I smile. Why? Because his blessing is what is missing in my life.
Let's go deeper. That's the problem. So we always chase, we always chase. Than it was. In the Old Testament, we have to go for the blessing.
In the Old Testament, we have to receive the blessing. All of the benediction prayer was to receive.
All of the—
all of that.
There is no blessing you need to receive. You are the blessing. Yeah, amen. Look, let's go. So the last one is you have to be the blessing. Look at Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3. Ephesians chapter 1, verse 3. He said, blessed be the God, the Father of our Lord Jesus, who hath blessed us.
He has blessed us.
He has blessed— are you there? Ephesians chapter 3. Ephesians chapter 3.
Are you there?
Yes. He says, who has— someone read for me—
who has—
I cannot hear you—
bless us, bless us with all spiritual blessings. If you are right there, shout amen.
Amen. Look at it, where?
In heavenly places.
Hold on, sir. So look at this, let's talk about this. So You are in Houston, but God has given you all the blessings, right?
Right.
Can we talk?
Yes.
So if God has given you all the blessings, why have you been complaining that you're broke? I have given you all. So look at me.
So something is missing. If you are not the blessed, you didn't receive it.
Not because he's not released. He has released it. God says, I have given you. One time I preached in Fresno years ago. I always tell the story. And when we got there They were writing checks, checks, checks. I was the last, so they gave the guy huge check, gave that guy huge check, and then the guy will calculate by scriptural positioning. Do you understand what that means? If you give a pastor, you won't give an apostle the same level. Because a pastor oversees the congregation, right? And apostles travel around the world, right? So if you give the pastor $10, it won't work on apostle because he has churches to plant and pastors to raise. That's why the seniority in the kingdom, the apostle is the one that goes, right?
So I knew in that gathering there was no apostle.
I could be the apostle. You have to understand.
So everybody was pastor, but I was prophet. So when I saw that amount, I knew that by seniority, not by congregation, because those were mega churches, right?
And when they wrote, the guy gave me check and they got to me, I stopped it. I stopped. Because I saw the number I gave them, some good numbers. That kind of amount, you need to work on it for 2 years. But I understood that my blessing is greater than what he wants to give me. I can direct how I'm blessed.
I did not hear you. You can't—
if somebody comes and give you what you are over, say no, sir, this is another level. I'm downgrading what God has for me. I did not hear you.
You expecting God to bless you with a car, somebody comes with a tricycle.
And come and take it. Say, I am one of the testifiers.
Because I did not request, but I said a car. So you must understand the revelation of your blessing. Amen.
Am I talking?
So when it got to me, I stepped aside.
He says, he said, he says, sir, what's wrong? I said, I'm feeling in my spirit He was writing hefty, hefty checks, hefty ones, some good numbers. Some of you are wondering how much was the number. I can see your eyes. The first guy, he gave 10, 15, I think 18, and he got to me. It's a boss. So I pulled back because I understand blessing and I understand the rankings of blessing.
Can I have an amen?
I said, sir, stop. He said he thought I thought he thought I wanted to tell him don't give me. Then I said, Mama, you bet devil. I said, sir, make it 25.
Amen.
And I wiped my face, wiped my face, and I was calling it boldly, 2500. I said it with all audacity. And I want him to apologize for giving me only 25 because I'm higher. When God reveals to you your blessings in spiritual places, nobody can determine how much you get. You determine how much you get. If you want a one-bedroom with a rotating— stay right there, that's your blessing. If you want God to supply all your needs, say, God, this is the level. He said to Abraham, as far as you can see—
no, not what I'm giving you, no. Not what I have for you. No, God has nothing for you. He has given— God has no car, no house for you. He has given you— you can see that God did not— what you are seeing. Am I talking to somebody? And he wrote the check, and I took the check. I said, I'm putting it in the ministry's name.
Put it in my personal name. There's no tax return. Some of you give God $50, I want a tax return. I'm so sorry, you didn't give up to $50.
You're asking God to return what you gave God?
That's powerful, that's powerful. Forgive me, forgive me, I just needed to say that. You know, when you give a million, you take it back, return, and write it off.
Am I right? Not when you give your give is not up to $500.
The pastor, can you email, can you email?
No, when God has blessed you, you will not become the custodian of everything that God has, hey, and everything that God has. Hallelujah! He said you are blessed, I have blessed you. See, there's no blessing coming, you are the blessing. When you walk up, because it's pulled from the spiritual realm, you declare what I want. I don't like the this job. I want a better job because that's what I deserve. I am blessed. My name is blessed. I am called blessed. There's no blessing coming. I am the blessing. When they call blessing, that's your name. He has blessed you. He has blessed you.
And ask the Lord, why did you put it in the heavenly places?
He says, so you can't see it. With some physical eyes.
Some of you want to see it. God is not in your account and the rent is next week. Lord, I don't know what I'm going to do.
Some of you start telling God all the problem you're going through. God, you know, the Lord, you know I have headache, I don't have money, I don't like the way I feel. Some of you change the way you smile.
Some of you just Begin to cry fake cry.
Oh Lord, no, it don't matter what is in the account, it's what is in you that matters. It's what you think that matters, it's what you say that matters. The blessing of God is spoken and it's taught. You cannot be blessed until you think, I am so blessed, because God says he has blessed you.
Hey!
My God. So hold on. So you mean when I cried, it was just a display of emotion?
How many of you cried this month?
How many of you felt bad when your money was going down? But it's quiet.
How many of you, how many of you, as soon as your check got into your account, as soon as the bills are paid, This week, no, no, no drive-through this week.
Just eat anything in the refrigerator. But when you know you're the blessed, what is in the account don't matter, because if you are thinking it and saying it, that God has blessed me with all blessing.
And it's not just you think it, you say it. You think it, you say it. You walk like it, you smile like it. They said— I was reading a psychology book few days ago— they said the way poor people smile is the way— the way poor people laugh. Poor people laugh is different from the way wealthy people laugh. That's true. When you see somebody who— my pastor used to say, if your head is so big and nothing is in it, is low, you can't walk. But if it's so big that there's something you treasure, you hide it, you keep it at home, you don't want anybody to touch it, right? Because when you know you are valuable, when you know you are dignified, when you know that you are in another level, it don't matter what people say to you, you just laugh because you know who you are.
You are blessed. Don't allow anything to change that.
Don't allow anything to say—
like if, for example, now it's tax time, that's how you see people having a list. When the tax return returns back, it finishes. No, you are blessed. When you walk into the office, everybody knows he has come, he has come, he has come, he has come, he has come.
Why?
Because listen to me, Hesed Ojieh.
Oh, let's go deeper.
Do you know that it is unscriptural to pray for people who you have not yet fed or fed after you pray for them? What tongue are you speaking when you can't buy something? Lunch, you're panicking. You should tell one friend, everybody at your office, you know, it's the blessed man's day. That's when you buy drinks and water, let them take home. What are you doing? You are oiling the blessing in your life. Am I talking to somebody?
Go to a shop, buy something for to somebody. Become a giver intentionally, not just carry yourself.
Oh, they say people who dress themselves always end up not being dressed when they die. That's deep, because all the dress you want is gone when you're gone.
No, but when you leave tangible, when you walk into the house, let everybody know that you came with something.
Am I talking? Am I talking to somebody? Not when you come home, you tell your wife 'You cook.' That's the only language every day. 'Did you make something?' 'No.' Why don't you say, 'Girl, today is my turn. Every Friday is the man's time. We go out.' Why? You're exercising your blessing. Hallelujah! Oh my God, not when you and your wife go to shopping, that's when your wallet is left behind. You just pay for me, I'll pay you back.
That's all you know, your wallet is always missing when it's time for you to pay, or you begin to— am I talking to somebody? No, the Bible say you are the blessed, you are blessed. Walk like it, talk like it. Smell like it. If you don't have a perfume that worth $5,000, go to Walmart and buy spray and spray yourself and spray for breeze before you come to church. Walk in the place and let people feel that you are blessed. Hallelujah! Make your hair— even if you can't make the hair— make your hair stand.
Wow!
I want to ask you, tell them that's the latest style of the blessed folks. You have to make sure that you are so blessed. Don't walk in like you're dead. What thing will defeat you? That's time.
Combine your flows well, because what's the difference between you and those that are not blessed? Am I talking to somebody?
You're laughing, but it's the truth.
Just straight ahead, come here. No, take your time.
You are carrying blessing, you are walking blessing. Am I talking?
You are thinking blessed. I was telling sister, she was telling me, oh, I don't like, I don't like my car.
I said, girl, you don't like your car because you are ungrateful. You're not even finished making the note of the car, you are already disrespecting the car that God gave you as a miracle. No, bless the car. Tell the car, car, you are blessed. Somebody said to me, oh Prophet, the gas is so high. But you still drink McDonald's, you still buy Starbucks, you don't eat.
Am I talking to somebody, right?
Don't always look at negative talk like, oh, gas is so high, gas is so high. Thank God my income raised.
Am I talking?
Oh, do you know everybody's gas is down? No, mine is not down. He said my blessing is in spiritual places. I call it forth. I can buy gas high, $7, but in a few hours God will bless me with $700. That will make me catch up, because my supply is in heaven now. It has nothing to do with here because I'm blessed.
Walk like you're blessed. Don't walk like— don't walk like you don't know what happened to me.
I'm so down.
Down how?
When God put his blessing Hey, do you know that angels are looking at you?
Do you know that angels have— angels have no right on earth?
Do you know that devil has no right on earth? He said, occupy till I come, not complain till I come. Hallelujah! You keep saying, God, I might have been in my worst season, but I see a comeback. I know there's a comeback. I might have lost my job, but I know that I'm blessed. I'm the head, I'm not the tail. It has nothing to do with my degree. It has to do with my level of revelation. I'm the head and not the tail. I cannot be defeated because greater is he that is in me. There is nothing evil can touch you except it touches your mind.
Leave this place this morning knowing that the money might not be in your pocket, but it's in your mind.
Amen.
Might not be in your wallet, but it's in your mind.
Amen.
And all you're saying, I've got money. Yes, I'm so blessed. I'm buying it. I'm buying it. Some of you say, I can't afford it. There's no dictionary word, and there's no word like that in the Bible. I can't afford it is an economic word. I can't afford it. I can do all things through Christ. We can afford it. That's why you can't afford anything in life. We can afford it. That's why you you can't afford anything in life. One day, one day I went to Boston to buy a 1998 Toyota Land Cruiser that didn't have an engine on. So I decided I finally got a Land Cruiser, finally! I began to negotiate with the owner of the car. That was like a few years ago.
Whoa, we got it!
It has no engine, no engine. But the man told me So how are you going to pick it? I said, don't worry, I'm on my way. I just want to go there. That's what I wanted, island cruiser. And I'm just imagining because somebody has given me $1,800, I think, as a gift. So I needed to invest that money. True story.
So we got— we get this place and we get lost.
We get this place, get lost.
We get this place, get lost. And the lady was driving me, I said to her, what's wrong with you? Don't let this guy sell the car.
And I was rushing, so they kept on passing one small unused road. I said, what's going on here?
And she said, this is where the GPS is taking us to.
And now again, and I hear the devil rumbling and attacking me, say, today you're finished because you wanted a Land Cruiser. Now you're going to be landed and cruised over. So I go in, I'm getting there. Hey, and I realized the reason that road, that gate is all filled with grasses is because this is the community where all of them goes with their aircraft.
All have hangars, so they don't drive cars. They have their own hangars. When they come in, they fly, they take their car, their Rolls-Royce, that road.
Only folks that are coming with a Toyota Land Cruiser XLE goes through that kind of direction.
Am I talking to somebody? And when I got there and I saw the mass aircraft, I asked the guy, sir, what's going on here? So you don't know this community? Well, 120 owners in this place, all of us have our own personal aircraft. So they don't build roads, they don't build— we don't go to the normal road, we go to a different route because all of us to come into this community must have your own aircraft. and some of you don't even have garages in your house. They have garages, are you hearing me? 5 garages with a handkerchief. So they come in, brother, and park their car. When I got there, I told the guy, sir, stop that Land Cruiser, hold it there.
And I leapt down and I asked God, God, how can you bless somebody so well and my own not well? You know, we didn't talk about Land Cruiser, we didn't talk about any Toyota Land Cruiser. I sat on my car looking at this brother, trying to figure out that if he has two heads and four hands and two legs. I realized that he was just like me, and he looked at me and said, "Hahaha, how are you going to take the car back to your house?" And I said to him, "Sir, I didn't even think about that. I was just rushing to buy the car." And the guy looked at me and said, okay, that's not— that's okay, I call my drivers to tow it. And I said, sir, how you going to tow it? He said, no, also have a tow— a dolly tow truck underneath our house that we used to put on our boat when we're going swimming. So I said to you, sir, do you have all the means of transportation here? He said, yes, I have car, I have boat. The only thing we don't have is train tickets.
So I know that thing.
I realized that God wants to bless some people. God has the blessing in them, but the problem is that they see life from lack, poverty, and struggling. Today God says, change your perception, change the way you think, change the way you talk.
You don't need to do any other thing. That's all. It's as fast as you can think. Think it and say, I'm thinking my way to healing. I see myself healed. I'm thinking my way to healing because God has given me healing already. You see yourself blessed. I'm thinking my way to blessing. I've already thought about it. I'm not—
is this arthritis or vein pain? That's what you think.
You think sickness. You think sickness.
Some of you begin to say, I think that's migraine. No, that's not migraine, that's high blood pressure.
Are you listening to me?
You start thinking, I think— then tell you, it's the medication, take it, you've missed it.
Then you rush, you leave what you're doing immediately, rush to your mirror, and you open the mirror that has the medication looking at you, written with your name on it and the heavy name that you don't even know what the medication means. And now after they take the medication, then you come to, you come to Brother David. Can you join my faith with your faith for God to heal. What the medication is in your mind, you are thinking what is not right, but God says you say as you're taking the medication, say, Father, this is my last day, I'm already healed. I believe in the supernatural power of God. You are taking medication, but you are speaking healing until the doctor says we're taking you out because you are healed and you are blessed. I want you to stand up this morning.
Thank you, Jesus.
You're blessed. I cannot hear you. I'm blessed.
I cannot hear you. I cannot hear you. Say, God has blessed me. I am so blessed. Oh, come on, say, I'm so blessed.
I'm so blessed.
Now let's do something. Let me teach you something. Think it as I'm saying it. Think it. I'm so blessed. Declare, I'm so blessed. Oh, I'm so blessed. Come on, say it loud. I'm so blessed because God has blessed me. With all— I can hear all blessing, and I'm experiencing it. Do you know I'm experiencing all the blessing God has for me? Declare: Do you know I'm experiencing all the blessing God has for me?
Pastor, you know my blessing is pressed down, shaken together, You are so blessed that my blessing is looking for a way to add more. I am pressed with blessing. I cannot hear you.
I am pressed with blessings, shaking together. Blessings are running over me. Come on, declare, declare it. Don't look at me. I'm constantly consumed by the blessing of the Lord. At work constantly consumed, is pressed down, shaken together, running over me. I am pressed down, so blessed. Do you know, do you know, do you know that my checking account—
do you know my checking account? My wife's family is pressed down, shaken together, rolling over.
I cannot even So if you, if you don't have an account, don't say anything. If you have an account, call on account. My dad, whatever account you have, declare, declare. Give me some hallelujah. I prophesy, my account is constantly, completely pressed down, repressed, shaking over, rolling over in the name of Jesus. I am so blessed. Declare this morning, hallelujah!
Hey, we're talking about the power. Where Prophet?
Come on!
Just a mention makes a way. Giants fall and strongholds break. There is healing. That's the power that I bring. It's the same that rolled the grave. There's no power like the mighty name of Jesus.
We declare this morning, ayaba!
For your sake, I fell as you rose again. Your spirit breaking out, your kingdom opening. Your victory claims the ground that the enemy has seized. Hesed Ojieh, you will do what you say.
Lift up your hand and bless his name. Let me hear your voice. Let me hear your voice. Let me hear your voice. Let me hear your voice.
Let me hear your voice.
Let me hear your voice. In the name of Jesus, give him praise. Give him praise. There is no name like the name of Jesus. Give him praise. Give him praise.
Just keep standing. Hallelujah. At about 4 PM yesterday, at about 4 PM yesterday, I showed Pastor Tina, we started talking. The Lord took me to Philippines about 4 PM, and I saw it very clearly. And I said, ask Pastor Tita, who is she dealing with that has the name, the letter B? So tell Pastor Tita there's somebody in the Philippines, her name, the person's name begins with a B, and she's in close contact And Pastor Tina, who is that person?
Bernard.
Bernard.
Who is Bernard?
My brother-in-law.
Now tell me what claim you have with him quickly.
