I don’t want to waste time in his presence. If the glory is in the house, I got to turn to that glory. And that’s what gives you power to change. He won’t just forgive you, but in his presence is fullness of joy. In his presence is life forever more.

In his presence is power to be transformed into the same image from glory to glory. You can come boldly to the throne of grace and get that help in the time of need. All you got to do today is confess something. He says he’s faithful and just. I dare you to mention something from your heart that you know you’ve condemned yourself about that you know you think negatively of your spiritual walk about.

You know you see you look down upon yourself. You think you look down. Come on tell God yes it’s me. I admit it. I confess my sin before the most.

It could be a sin of omission. It doesn’t have to just be a sin of commission. What you know you should have done that you didn’t do. You’ll condemn yourself over that kind of stuff and your heart will hide.

But God says, “Come out of hiding today because God has a blessing for your life. Turn. Come on. Turn. Confess and turn.

Turn to him. Say what it is and then say, “By faith, I believe that you’re cleansing me from all unrighteousness.” Come on, say it. By faith, I believe. Say it. I believe you are cleansing me from all unrighteousness.

I receive the cleansing power of the blood of Jesus. Now that I feel clean by faith I’m clean, I declare it. By faith I’m worthy. I declare it. By faith I’m justified.

I declare it. Now I come boldly to the throne of grace. I ain’t got nothing to be ashamed about. I come boldly and I look at God in his face and I ask God to bless my life right now. Somebody come to him with your whole heart and give him a praise from your heart now.

Yes. Come on. Give him that praise from your heart now.

Come on, give him that praise from your heart. I need to hear it. Glory to your name. You I’m not playing the the thous but but don’t worry about glory to his name. God, I thank you.

I thank you. And when the connection happens, then the miracles are getting ready to break out in this place today. God has come to engage us.

But it’s a it’s a heart engagement. Lift those hands and worship him now. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He says, “I want to release my mercy in this house.” Glory to God.

But before we release anything, the connection has to be intimate. I worship you, Almighty God. There is none like you. I worship you. I worship you.

Alm mighty God. There is none like you. I worship you. I need to feel your faith today. Prince of peace.

That is what I long to do. I give you praise for you are my rightousness. I worship you. I worship you, oh mighty God. There is none.

You are my rightous name. I worship you. worship you. Oh mighty God, glory mighty God. There is none, there is none like you. Now the mercy of God is in the house.

And anytime that the Lord releases mercy on a people, he’s attempting to shift their life. This is what he told me. One of the things he wants to accomplish today. Okay, I got to mediate it here.

But he wants to shift our life completely. That’s what mercy comes to do. Generally, people need mercy. It doesn’t just come when you don’t need it. It comes when you need a life shift.

I’m wondering if there’s anybody that needs a shift in your life in the positive direction from the Lord. If I’m talking to you, you need to respond. If you need a shift in your life, oh yes, God needs to know you’re here now. If you really need a shift in the positive direction, God says, “Mercy.” He told me this yesterday. He said, “Send the mercy.

Mediate mercy because I want to shift some people’s lives in a very, very, very positive direction.” I’m not talking hype. I’m talking about what the Lord said to me. And I’m just trying to see if there’s any faith in this house to get a life shift. Glory to God. Glory to God.

I promise you the way he shifts you, he starts spiritually first, then it works out in your natural life. So you come to the kingdom for such a time as this. This was the day to get to the house of the Lord. I was glad when they said unto me, “Let us go into the house of the Lord.” Why? Because anything might happen if you congregate with the righteous.

If you come together with people who love God and calling on God, you don’t know what might come down the pipe. God told me mercy’s in the house today. And thank God you showed up in here. I hope you came with some faith. I hope you came with some praise.

I I hope you came believing and expecting God to do something in your life because he always meets you at the point of your expectation. If you don’t expect nothing, you ain’t going to get nothing. But if you come here saying, “I know my God lives, and I know my God rules, and I know he knows my name, and I know he knows where I’m at.” Yes. And I’m talking to you, mercy is coming your direction. And I promise you, mercy shifts people’s lives in such a way that the devil can’t do nothing about it.

Oh, I feel something rising in the room now. I’ve been waiting on something to rise in this house. Mercy shifts your life. Let me let me tell you. Let me just tell you really quick.

Do you remember Mibos Seth? He should have been a prince. He was a prince, but he should have lived like a prince.

But he was living in a place called Lo Debar, which is a barren land. And he was crippled and he was living beneath his design and his calling. He needed mercy. His father was dead. His grandfather was dead.

His family was deteriorating. But there was another king named David who made covenant with his father Jonathan. And David didn’t owe them anything, but he owed Jonathan something because of covenant. And David came to Lo Debbar and said, “Is there anybody in the house of Saul here? I come to show mercy and kindness to him.

And the word mercy there is cessid which means to lift them from where they are and place them where they should be. Kessid means loyal love. It means steadfast love. It means faithful love. He says, “Because of my covenant with Jonathan, I must show kindness to his son.” And I’m getting ready to show steadfast love to Jonathan by finding someone who needs mercy. and he found meth, took him from Loiar, brought him to the king’s table, and allowed him to live the rest of his life out like a prince, the way God intended for him to live.

And David is a type of Jesus. And Jesus has come in this room today looking for somebody crippled, looking for somebody living beneath their privilege and their calling and their design. And he says, “I want to show you kindness, too. I want to pick you up right where you are and place you where you need to be.” Mercy is God’s plan for your next. Mercy is what God has in store for you.

I want you to see one verse on the screen. Just one verse. And then I’m going to let you go back to your seats. It is Lamentations chapter number 3 21. Lamentations 3 and 21.

Notice what it says. Read with me. He says this. Let me preface it first. Lamentations was Jeremiah lamenting over the destruction of Jerusalem, over the condition that Israel had found themselves in because of their sin.

They had fallen beneath their design. Jeremiah is lamenting. But in the midst of his lamentations, he says this. What does he say? This I recall to my mind.

Therefore, I have hope. What is he hoping? Next verse. It is because of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed because his compassion fail not. Next verse.

They are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. That sound like a song we sing, don’t it? The Lord is my portion, saith my soul. Therefore, I will hope in him.

I need you to recall now his mercy. I want you to recall how faithful he is in the midst of lobar. Think about a faithful God in the midst of trouble. Think about that he’s a faithful God and you can trust him. That’s who I’m coming to release mercy on today.

Those of you that say, “I’m going to hope in God right now.” Those of you that can say, “I have expectation in the midst of my crisis. I still expect God to come deliver me in the midst of my difficulty. I have hope. Hope is expectation that God won’t leave you where you are. That God will come right where you are.

Somebody needs to be about like blind Bamarius. Blind Barttous. He was blind. He couldn’t see. He was just saying, “Have mercy on me, son of David.” He was just saying, “Have mercy on me.” They tried to set him up.

He says, “I ain’t shutting up. I’m blind. I can’t see. I’mma cry until Jesus comes. And Jesus came by Barameus and said, “What do you want?

I want to see Jesus healed him.” That’s what’s about to happen in this room right now. If somebody cries out to the Lord, Get your love. Oh God. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. We’re getting ready to release that over this entire house. But I just need somebody to reach out to God and tell him, “Have mercy on my family. Have mercy on my soul.” and tell him, “I have expectation and I believe in your power and I’mma praise you in advance.” Now release that praise in this house. Now oh.

Put something on that altar in your life. Put your kids on the altar right now. Put your marriage on the altar. Put your health on the altar. Put your business on the altar.

Put your church on the altar. Wherever you need the mercy to come, place it on the altar, the proverbial altar, and say, “I offer it up to you, oh God. Do what you will with it. JV, come here really quick and I’mma move. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Oh, hallelujah. All right. I feel something breaking in here right now. Something’s breaking in here. It’s just about time to release this mercy on the house.

There was a there’s a familiar spirit that’s trying to stop people. And we got to renounce a familiar spirit. A familiar spirit is a demonic system that comes into your family, that comes into your life, and is familiar with your daddy, your granddaddy, your uncle, your cousin, and it’s been working in a family bloodline for a long time. And that thing has been coming in some of your dreams, and it’s been talking to you at night. And you thought it was uh you thought it was really grandmother.

It wasn’t grandma. It was a demon impersonating grandma. Familiar spirits can impersonate people in your family and give you false messages to bring confusion in your life. And they cause generational patterns to take place. And God says the familiar spirit must be broken off of your life right now.

I don’t know what’s had your family bound up for generations, but God said there’s an anointing in the room to break the familiar spirit. I need you to say by faith I renounce. Every familiar spirit, every witch spirit, every spirit of divination, I renounce it. Every lion spirit that comes to me in my dreams that gives me false messages, I renounce it. I will not be deceived by it.

I declare the word of the Lord, the judgment of God against this familiar spirit. The blood is against it. I command it to loose my bloodline in Jesus’ name. Go now. Hallelujah.

Heat. Heat. Heat. I promise you a shift is coming in your life. There’s a major shift coming in your life.

We just got to clean out the debris. We got to clean the junk out the way so God and you can do something great in your life. Let’s clean this place up so God can move in our lives. If the Holy Ghost brings something back to your mind to confess, confess it. Say it out loud and God will turn your heart to him.

Oh, this I recall to my mind. Therefore I have hope. Great is thy faithfulness. Great is thy faithfulness. Great is thy faithfulness.

Great is thy faithfulness. God said, I’mma give you hope. If you believe in my faithfulness, I’m coming down your road. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Oh. Something’s cooking right now in here. I can feel it.

Something’s cooking. He’s making some of you a vessel of mercy. God can show mercy to whomever he wants to show mercy to. He can show grace to whomever he wants to show grace to. And he’s going to make some of you a vessel of mercy that don’t deserve it.

That don’t deserve it. If you feel God wants to show you, make you a vessel of mercy, lift those hands. Riasa ro God release your mercy in the room now. Shift people’s lives. removed them from lob to wherever they have rested and contented themselves with less than what God ordained. Some of you have adapted to foolishness and God brings you out of that house.

He brings you out of the house of foolishness. Some of you have rested in a place of despair. He brings you out of that place of despair right now because of his mercy. Some of you have been resting in a place of sin and a place of sin and addiction.

But today, the anointing brings you out of that place called Lo Diva. And he brings you up to the place where you need to be. He reaches into the fire. Somebody’s into the fire. And he’s snatching you out of the fire right now by the power of his name.

Devil, you can’t have their soul. The devil’s been fighting over your soul, fighting over your family, fighting over you. He’s been waring against you since you was a little boy.

But today is the day that the Lord has made. God is ending that war and he snatches you out. I declare the mercies of God upon your life now. Receive those mercies and receive a shift in your life in the name of the Lord. I need you to declare shift seven times for your life.

Now give him that praise right there. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

Yes. Yes. Yes. I hear the spirit of the Lord saying to you, pastor that there’s a job that God gives you for from him, an assignment I should call it, to raise educational excellence among the youth of today. educational excellence. I know education is your background, but you work you’ve worked for other people.

But God says you’re going to there’s a program he’s put in you. Some would call it a tutorial program, but it’s something greater than that that he’s put inside of you that must come to the surface. I even see in my spirit what they call homeschool stations where people who want to homeschool their children can come to a location and they come and they pay you to be a part and you allow the parents to be involved and you got other people there. There’s such a standard of educational excellence that those who come to you will score high because of what God has put in your spirit. And even the what looks like a tutorial program, there are students that will sign up and parents will sign them up and they and this is part of how God’s going to fund you and fund your ministry where you won’t need to depend on certain things because they’re going to come from near and far because of the educational excellence that God has given you in wisdom and understanding.

And so I’m declaring over your life right now, the excellence of God when it comes to knowledge. The spirit, not just a word of knowledge, but the spirit of knowledge be on you. The omniscient one downloads himself into you as educational excellence right now. Praise it. You won’t just know the Bible.

You’re going to know all kind of things. And you’ll be able to communicate it in such a way where the little ones will get it. And you’re going to be a mover of the state of minorities specifically as it relates to education. God set you apart for this right now. Glory to God.

And I see money coming. I see buildings coming. I see you on talk shows. I see you going around talking about the what you’ve done educationally. and it will open the door for ministry at the same time. You’ve been trying to do ministry to open doors.

God says educational excellence is going to open the doors for ministry and your full ministry will come to pass in the name of the Lord. I declare the omnisient God on your life now and courage to step out. among somebody, clap those hands and let’s give the Lord a praise for a shift in educational excellence. Shift in educational excellence because we’ve got educators in the room right now. If you are an educator, lift your hands right now. God wants to use you beyond what you’re doing at your job.

May God use you to shift the educational level of the kids uh in your circle of influence and break the cycles that have hurt them for years. We declare the grace of the omnisient God on you. the not just the word of knowledge but the spirit of divine knowledge be upon you now and the grace to impart it. Thank you father. Thank you father. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. We’re going to pray for some sick people at some point, but right now I want you to hug someone. Say, “Welcome to Embassy Covenant.” Say, “It’s good to see you.” Say, “I know you just showed up and you didn’t know all this was going to happen, but it’s good to see you right now.” Auntie Ramasa, tell them thank you for joining us. Say, “Don’t be nervous.” Tell somebody who’s new, say, “Don’t be nervous.” Say, “We just do this every now and then.” And don’t be nervous. Hallelujah.

Come on, love on somebody. Say, “Praise the Lord.” Tell them, “Our God reigns.” Our God reigns. Our God reigns. Oh, yes. Hallelujah.

Yes. I said, “Our God reigns. He’s the King. There’s only one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God. He’s above us all.

He’s in us all. And he works through us all. His name is Jesus, mighty to save, the redeemer of all mankind, the most high God, the possessor of the heavens and the earth. He’s worthy of our praise. Yes, he is.

I said he’s worthy. He’s worthy. He’s worthy of praise. He kept me alive when the devil wanted me dead. He kept me alive.

It was mercy that kept me alive. I promise you, it was mercy that kept us alive. Some of us barely got out. Some of us just barely barely barely got out. God snatched us when the devil thought he had.

Oh. Oh, you know how you bar you know you barely got out cuz the people that were with you didn’t get out. I got a whole lot of folks that were with me. They didn’t get out and I did. It must be the mercy of the Lord.

Shaka because there was no difference in me and them. We were all doing the same stuff. But somehow I made it out. Glory to his name. He keeps doing great things for me.

Yes, he does. It’s because of the Lord’s mercy that we are not consumed. It’s because his compassions fail not. Great is thy faithfulness. Hallelujah.

You’ve been so As I can see how it Even the wrong. You never left me alone. You forgave me and you kept on blessing to my mind. I hope it is because of your mercies. feel like soon because there every morning great is amazing. Oh yes.

As I look back over my life, I can see I can see how your love has guided me. Even though I’ve done the wrong alone, you forgave. You kept on and you kept on blessings. I never is because of your mercies because thy compassions fell out there every morning. Great faithfulness.

Praise your faithfulness. Lord, you been so long. You been singing Sing, Lord. Lord, you’ve been so faithful, Lord. Lord, I thank you, Lord.

You been so faithful. You been so faithful. You been You’ve been so faithful. You’ve been so faithful. To those of you that are guests today, I’m just going to ask you to stand.

Everybody else have a seat really quick. If you’re a guest today, stand so I can acknowledge you. I see you there. I see you there in the back, sir. Was in the first service.

I see you there. I see you there. I see you there. Thank you for coming, sir. Thank you.

Thank you for being here. Listen, we have a guest reception right after service if you’re interested in meeting myself, my wife. You go through those doors and there’s a green room there and we will connect with you right after service just to make a connection. If you if you choose not to do that, you can fill out a QR code here and follow the prompting and you can stay in touch with what we’re doing here as well. Um, what I want to do right now is pray the prayer of importunity.

Importunity. It’s a prayer that we must learn to pray. If you read the scriptures where we were ministering for the last eight weeks, we were talking about spiritual uh wrestling and we were ministering out of Ephesians chapter 6. Ephesians chapter 6 verse number 18 after all of the armor of God is discussed. It says that we we should pray.

Tells us to pray. That’s why we’re doing this kind of service today. We’re practicing part of what we preached. Ephesians chapter 6:18, put it on the screen. It says, it says, this is after the armor is discussed.

It says, “Praying always with all prayers.” The word all prayers means all kinds of prayers. See, sometimes we only use one kind of prayer and we can’t break through. The sufficiary, the strategims of Satan are complex. And if we are going to war against and win, we must learn to pray all kinds of prayers. I’ve outlined at least 10 kinds of prayers that every believer must learn.

We’re sharing that in with the federation. And those of you that come out to that, you’ll learn the 10 types of or kinds of prayers. If one prayer is not working, don’t say, “God didn’t answer.” Maybe you need to use another weapon. Look at somebody say, “Find another weapon.” Some people pray the same prayer all the time. Some people have been speaking in that same tongue since they got saved.

Uta, whatever it is, same. Same. Nothing’s changed. Eventually, the enemy adapts and he knows what you’re going to do and you can’t get through. So Paul says you got to mix it up and pray different kinds of prayers.

He says verse 18 again he says praying always with all prayers or all kinds of prayers and supplication. Supplication is the word that means you’re praying from a place of need. I have a need. That’s why they pinned the song I need thee all. I need thee every hour.

I need thee. That’s supplication. And you identify what your need is. And then you move toward him because you can’t pray from a distance. That’s why confession was important.

Your heart has to turn toward him to pray. You can’t pray to God with your heart facing another direction. That’s why you confess all the time. And true confession will turn your heart And once the heart is turned and you’re there close to him, you share your petition or your need, your supplication. Then there’s the prayer of importunity that comes into play.

That’s what we’re going to pray right now. Opportunity has to do with audacity. It has to do with bold persistence. You put it up just a little too early. Wait for me to call for it.

But I appreciate you anticipating. Thank you. It has to do with persistence in prayer. Jesus tells the story in Luke and I want you to put that on the screen. Luke chapter 11.

The Lord strengthened the singers to stand for the whole service. Amen. The worshippers, not the singers. Luke 11 verse one. Let’s read together.

And it came to pass as he was praying in a certain place when he ceased, one of the disciples came unto him. Lord, teach us to pray as John taught his disciples. Everybody has to be taught to pray and how to pray. And he said unto them, read, when you pray, say, Our Father, which art in heaven, that’s always relational. Prayer is relational.

You don’t go into prayer asking for nothing. You got to connect first. Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. It’s about his name. I’m praying to get to know him, his character.

I don’t bring any of my needs to prayer. I connect with him first. Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done. Come on.

As in heaven, so in earth. The first part of the prayer is about him, his person, and his will. I don’t bring up none of my stuff cuz it’s about relationship. Everybody say relationship. Then I can get to once I’ve connected with him.

I’ve turned my heart to him. I can say what? Give us this day our daily bread. Forgive us our sins. For we also forgive everyone that is indebted to us.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. And he said unto them, this is verse what I want you to see. Prayer of opportunity. Which of you? So he he he’s talking about prayer, the context.

Then he says, which of you shall have a friend and shall go unto him at midnight and say unto him, friend, lend me three loaves. If you got a friend knock on your door at midnight and say, I need some bread. You’re asleep. Your children are asleep. Someone’s knocking on the door.

A friend from the church, Brother So and So, and you come to the door. Say, “What they doing out there this time of night?” They said, “I need some bread. Verse six, for a friend of mine in his journey has come to me and I have nothing to set before him. He’s telling you he’s got visitors and he don’t have nothing to be hospitable hospitable with them for or with. Verse seven.

And he from And he from within shall answer and say, “What you going to say? Trouble me not. The door is now shut. My children are with me in bed, and I can’t rise to give you nothing.” You’re going to say, “Man, get out of here. You should have come in the morning.

But verse eight gives us the key. I say unto you, though he will not rise and give him because he is his friend yet. So being friends won’t make him do it.

But what will yet because of his there’s the word because of his what? Everybody say importunity. He will rise and give him as many as he needed. Immortunity. Opportunity means persistence, audacity, bold, shamelessness is what it means.

People who see I I didn’t pray this prayer much. And that’s why I’m giving it to you cuz I didn’t because I I was the kind of person that ain’t you know I you don’t want to do cool. If I think somebody doesn’t want to do something, I probably wouldn’t ask them.

And some of that has to do with my personality, not trying to cross boundaries with people or be perceived a certain kind of way. So because I have that as a personality, there are some things I’ll never experience. But there are times in your life where you have to have audacity. There needs to be a sense of shamelessness.

Now, I’m just going to say this. No. Yes. I have three girls and all of them have distinct personalities. My oldest daughter, she’ll ask for things when she need it.

The youngest daughter won’t ask for nothing. But my middle girl, she don’t mind when it comes to me. She’ll ask expecting me to give. She understands importunity. Sometimes you have not because you ask not.

You’re concerned about how somebody thinks of you or what they feel about you or the interaction is uncomfortable. So you live without but because of opportunity. The scripture say he goes on to say ask he he goes on to say in verse 9 and I say unto you ask and it shall be given. Seek and you shall find. Knock and it shall be open unto you.

For everyone that askketh receiveth. Him that seeketh findeth. And to him that knockth the door is opportunity means not that we can get God to change his mind. Because what God’s going to do, he’s already settled with that.

But it does mean, God, I need you to keep creating conditions in the earth so that people will cooperate with your plan. God’s providence can create conditions. His providence is how he operates in history, how he operates with human beings. The prayer of opportunity is God, I need you to create the conditions for this to happen. And time goes by and people are not cooperative.

God intensify the conditions for this to happen. Some people are becoming willing, but not all. Turn it up, Father. and you continue to ask him to turn up the conditions and the providence until people are made willing to walk in his plan. I pray that prayer all the time now. And I’ve seen people who said no turn around and say yes because God created the conditions that fit with his providence, not me.

Because it would be witchcraft. It would be witchcraft if I’m doing it for me in the flesh because witches operate like that too. Create conditions to get people to operate a certain way. It would be witchcraft.

But if I say according to your providence, meaning your plan, your eternal purpose, turn the conditions up and get them to walk in your will, the prayer of importunity, and be persistent with God like that. and he’ll begin to create cooperation among the people around you that are stubborn. Now look at the people around you. Say, “God’s going to get you to move if I pray. God’s going to bring you into order if I pray. If I pray, if I pray opportunity on you, oh, you’ll be saying yes.

I don’t know when. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I don’t know the providence. I don’t understand all that.

But before he gets done, you going to be just like me. That’s opportunity. That’s opportunity. Glory to God. And God says there are things that he’s trying to get done in your life, but you don’t have the cooperation of the people he assigned to you.

That’s what I come here to pray today. Some of the stuff that God ordained should have happened a long time ago. But God said the people around you are not cooperating because of their own issues. And he says you need to pray importunity today. Glory to God.

And if you pray it and be consistent with that prayer and be audacious with that prayer and release it to his divine providence, God will create cooperation in your life so that his purpose can come to pass. Somebody say amen right there. There are some things that are about to shift in your life. Some things can’t happen without people around you. They can’t happen without cooperation.

You’ve been in place for a long time. But now, he’s going to get your team in place. He’s going to get your family in place. He’s going to get the people around you in place so they can help you bring God’s will to pass. And your prayer is going to make this thing happen today.

Who wants to release this prayer up before God? Who wants to bring order in your world? If you have been in the situation where you’ve been working by yourself or working against people or people working against you or simply leaving you out there by yourself, then you need to respond back to me and let me know who I’m talking to in the house. If this is you, you need to say, “Yes, yes. I I’m tired.

I know God has a better plan than this. I know there has to be some people around me that get what you gave me. That I know the vision wasn’t just for me. It was for some people that were around me and you getting ready to call them into place and make them soldiers in the army of the Lord. Glory to his name.

Put your faith on that right there. Come on. Put your faith on that right there. You got to be audacious to pray this prayer. You got to be bold and shameless to pray this prayer.

You can’t stop praying this prayer until you see something happen. Elijah prayed this prayer. It was God’s will for it to rain. It had been it had been barren or it had not rained for three years because God was trying to prove to them that he was God and not Baal. And God wanted to prove to them the false prophets in Israel that he was the God of fertility.

And so Elijah prayed that it don’t rain and it didn’t rain for three years. Then God says, “Now let me show them that I can make it rain.” And so he says, “Okay, it’s going to rain by my word.” Elijah said, but he had already gotten a word from the Lord. And the Bible says he put his head between his knees and he started praying opportunity. He prayed for the conditions to be right for rain. And he bowed his head and he prayed and he sent his servant and said, “Go look and see.

Has anything changed yet?” His servant went out to look and say, “No, nothing changed.” He said, “Well, we got to pray again. We not going to stop praying until the conditions changed.” And he had his head between his legs, praying, praying, praying, praying. He said, “Go look, go look again.” He went to look again. He said, “Nothing, Elijah. Nothing.” He says, “Okay, well, we know God has already done this thing, and we ain’t going to change God’s mind.

We need conditions to change.” So he said, “Go pray again.” And he prayed. He prayed a third time. Go look. Nothing yet. Nothing yet.

He said, “This ain’t going to make me doubt my God because ain’t nothing happening. I’m praying in opportunity. I’m persistent. I’m shameless. I know my God heard me.

I’m bowing my head a fourth time in prayer.” And the Bible said he prayed. He said, “Go look.” He said, “Yeah, I see a cloud about the size of a man’s hand.” Isaiah said, I mean, Elijah said, “That’s all I know. The conditions have changed.” And he announced, “Get ready for a drought.” Is I mean, not a drought, but a flood is about to come from rain on the land. There’s getting ready to be a rainfall that we’ve never seen before. And I believe if you pray right now and you stick with your prayer of opportunity to change the conditions, you see one sign of the change.

It means it’s about to happen in your life. If one person cooperates, it means God is on the move. And God want us to pray that prayer today to turn something around in your life. Somebody shout opportunity. Say, God answers prayer.

Everybody on your feet right there. I tell people all the time, don’t mess with me. I’ll start praying importunity prayers. You got me freezing in here today, y’all. while I’m sweating. Lord, we worship you.

Not because you are unwilling. But because I desire to faithfully cooperate with your administration in the earth, reveal to me any additional obstacles that require prayer require.

Amen. Amen. Now, clap those hands and give God a shout right there if you believe God heard your prayer. Hallelujah. That’s a prayer written, but you must pray that prayer in your heart now.

And the Holy Ghost says, “Pray that prayer in your heart for at least 6 months about a situation. Go check and pray. Go check and pray. Go check and pray. And when you see a sign, now you know you don’t have to pray anymore.

It’s about to go down. Pray until you see a sign. It may not last 6 months. May happen relatively fast. Father, thank you.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. You can have a seat right there. Thank you, Jesus. If you have any sickness in your body and you need us to lay hands on you, I want you to come up here right now.

I feel an anointing to lay hands on the sick and just line up across this floor. Glory to his name. Gosh. Hallelujah. We’re going to believe God.

We’re going to believe God. Altar team, help them make a straight line. Somebody help them straighten up. Hallelujah. Glory to God.

Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord.

Now, you know, for us to minister to all of you individually would take a long time. So, we’re going to believe God. That disease is being defeated and has been defeated in the name of Jesus. And you’re going to use your faith. And I’m going to use my faith to believe God.

Put Isaiah 53 on the screen. Isaiah 53. Because God is our healer. Isaiah 53. We’re just about done today.

Well, we’re going to have to stop. The team has been doing a great job in the back. Let’s continue. Isaiah 53. Glory to his name.

And verse number four. What a healing Jesus for such a time as this. What a healing Jesus I found in you. What a healing Jesus. Restore, refresh, and renew.

You’re my healing Jesus. For such a time as this, oh rise on healing wings, son of rightousness. Isaiah 53:4 says, “Surely he has borne our griefs.” And keep plain. beautiful and carried our sorrows. Yet we did esteem him stricken and smitten of God and afflicted. Verse 5, but he was Come on, read everybody.

He was wounded for our transgressions. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. and with his stripes we are healed. Matthew 8:16. This is the New Testament quoting the Old Testament.

Notice what he says. Read. When the evening was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils, and he cast out the spirits with his word, and he healed all that were sick. Next verse. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaas the prophet, saying, he himself took our infirmities and bared our sicknesses.

Do you see that? Isaiah prophesied it in the Old Testament. And when Jesus came in the new, he healed the sick and he spoke and said, “I was fulfilling what he said.” The same Jesus that healed the sick then is here right now. And all you have to do is believe in him and trust his power. He’s healed me from so many diseases.

Pastor Raj, I was at Mantle Conference and Jenny Weaver’s husband came up to me and said, uh, he enjoyed our session or something like that. And I talked with him for a minute and his wife was standing or sitting near him. And I went to her and I told her, I said, “Listen, I’ve been watching your testimony online cuz she’s had the same condition as yours.” And I thought she was a white person because when I met her, she was all white. And she says, she started talking. She shared her story and she talked about how she started believing God. and she said her legs was white, everything was white, and her color started returning.

If you look at her testimony online, she’s it’s not 100%, but it’s a miracle before our very eyes. And I thought about you when I was talking with her. And so, we want to believe God today to start a work or continue a work cuz you came down for this prayer. I want you to lift your hands right there. Woo God.

Don’t be afraid or uh any of that right now. Trust him. It’s about trust, not fear. You’re not begging him for something. He already purchased healing.

Healing is a part of redemption. He purchased it. I know the body is mortal and the body has conditions and it goes through decay and all of that, but he can quicken the mortal body. Woo. And that’s what we’re going to believe him to do, to quicken the mortal body so the condition in you will reverse in the name of the Lord.

As a matter of fact, I declare the judgment of the Lord against sickness and disease in this house. The wrath of God be poured out against all disease that’s at this altar in the name of the Lord. I mean, God’s hatred for disease be poured out in this place right now. God’s hatred for Satan’s work be poured out in this place in the name of the Lord. I need somebody to come into an agreement with me to receive God’s judgment against sin and God’s judgment against disease and God’s judgment against sickness and God’s judgment against the kind of sickness that’s in this room right now.

May you pour out your wrath against every demonic spirit of infirmity. May you pour out your wrath against everything that brought this condition on. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, we declare the wrath of God, the fire of God at his altar right now. The fire of God be at his altar. The fire of God be at his altar.

The wrath of God against spirits, demonic spirits, curses, hex, things you were born with. Whatever opened the door, we declare the wrath of God against it now. Judgment against it. This is judgment day against disease. This is judgment day against sickness.

This is judgment day against your that disease that’s cleaving to your body. Your body belongs to the Holy Ghost. Your body belongs to Jesus. We renounce disease in the name of the Lord. I need you to renounce disease.

We separate oursel from it in the name of the Lord. We declare it is not my disease. It came from hell and we command it to go back where it came from. It doesn’t belong to this body. We declare the word of the Lord over this body.

Jesus spoke his word and his word healed the sick. So we declare the word of the Lord of healing on you now in the name of Jesus Christ. We speak he was wounded for your transgressions. He was bruised for your iniquity. The chastisement of your peace was upon him and with his stripes you were healed.

We declare in his burial he took sickness away from you. He took disease away from you as far as the east is from the west. We declare that reality over your life that Jesus has taken disease away from you right now. I declare his hand is taking it away right now. And you got to release it then.

Release that disease now. Give it to Jesus and let him bury it in the sea of forgetfulness. I declare the removal of sickness and disease from everybody at this altar by the power of Jesus’ name right now. And the faith to believe it. May the gift of faith come upon everybody at this altar.

And may we release disease in Jesus’ name. chronic disease, Alzheimer’s be released. Heart disease be released. Bone marrow disease be released. Birth disease, birth effects be released. Blood diseases be released.

Every cancer be taken out of here. Rheumatoid arthritis be taken out of here in the name of the Lord. Every kind of brain damage go in the name of the Lord be released by the burial of Jesus Christ. Every kind of disease, every kind of knee disease, every kind of thy disease, every kind of kind of foot tumors be released in the name of the Lord. Thyroid conditions be released in the name of the Lord.

Diabetes be released in the name of the Lord. Every kind of eye disease be released. Every kind of ear trauma be released in the name of the Lord. We command it to go. We have authority over sickness and disease.

We order you go in the burial of Jesus Christ right now. Come on. There it is. This is a new reality. We declare the gospel reality.

We declare heavenly places. You’re in heavenly places right now. Step into it and believe you’re God. If I didn’t call your disease, call it yourself and say, “Be released. Oh yeah.

Oh yeah. Heat. Heat. Oh no. Jesus.

Yeah. Oh. Hold someone’s hand. We’re going to believe God to touch Woo! Cuz it’s already done.

We’re going to believe God to accept the fact that it’s been taken away. I need you to leave this altar accepting that it was taken away. That it was taken away. I said it was. It was.

Peter said, “With his stripes, we were healed.” He said, “Were healed.” It was taken away. It was taken away. We coming into an agreement with what happened. I need you to come into an agreement with what already happened. Rakoto, he said it was taken away.

That’s how I got healed. I went to wasness. You got to go to a place called wasness. What was done? What was done?

Go there. And when you get to wasness, that’s when the miracle happens. If you’re at Come on, pray until you get to wasness. You pray. I’m going to lay hands.

You pray until you get to that place called was. It’s a land called was. When everything is perfect, there’s a land called was. When everything is healed, Yeah. Heat.

God is doing great things in our midst. And he told me we need to do a few of these services in between the long series so we can experience what we’re preaching about. That’s what this is about. Encounters, experiencing the God you hear preached. So we might run it back next week, too.

So, just in case you didn’t get prayed for today or to get what you need, we’re going to linger in this space until God finishes doing what he’s doing. Amen. Are you good with that? If we run it back next week and and maybe bring a different kind of prayer. I told you there are 10 kinds of prayer.

So, at the same time, we’re showing us how to reach to God and how to receive from God and then experience him. And what you do here, you take to your personal life and you learn your own devotional life with the most high. And you can have this same experience at home once you learn how to deal with him. All we’re doing is taking I’m taking my personal prayer life and I’m showing it outward. Everybody can talk with God and experience him.

You just got to know how to approach him and know how to deal with him. You learn that is good. He’s in the room. You know, we can go all day like this. See, because he don’t get tired, but our bodies do get tired.

And so, we’re going to just put a butt, a pin on it there, pick it up next week, and let God finish doing what he started. Amen. Hallelujah. I want you to bring your friends. Bring everybody.
