And we’re going to send you all back to your seats when I’m done with this. So you can stay right there for now. 2 Thessalonians chapter 2 verse 3 and 4. Let’s read what does it say? 2 chapter 2 verse three. Read everybody. Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and the man of sin be revealed the son of predition.

Next verse who opposes who opposes number one. So that means antichrist will oppose Christ and exalt himself above all that is called God. So not only does he oppose but he wants to replace or that is worship so that he as God siteth in the temple of God showing himself he wants to replace he says you don’t need God you need me and everything God wants to do for you I’ll show you how I can do it better the spirit of antichrist is in the earth today messing with our propensities specifically our leanings. Let me give you an example. Levi the son of Jacob had a propensity for justice and executing God’s justice in the earth.

Satan moved on him and used him to execute his own justice. The propensity is justice. His sister was raped. He and his brother went and executed justice by slaying an entire community because he was bent to deal with justice. and to execute what he believed was right. The problem is he did it his own way.

Later on, the tribe of Levi was caught into the priesthood. That was God’s real plan. And they slew animals all day and executed the justice of God. So either the propensity will lead you towards God’s purpose for it or Satan will replace God’s purpose with his purpose for your own leaning and you’ll be you can be held captive by the distortion of your own propensity.

But God is getting ready to set some people free today from captivity to a distortion of their own leaning. They’re being used with what God said is in them, but simply the wrong way. Some people have a propensity to fear more than others. The answer is not get them delivered from fear. The answer is to teach them to fear God.

Since you’re going to fear, you need to fear God. Cuz if you fear God, then you won’t fear anything else. But if you have a propensity to fear and you don’t fear God, you’ll fear a cat, a dog, heights, height. You’ll fear darkness. God takes your natural propensity and he tries to use it for his purpose.

Satan will try to replace God’s purpose and use it to glorify him. Put some on the screen. I want you to see some of this. We’re going to address Antichrist today. Put this the slide up that I gave you guys earlier.

Notice what this says. There’s a carnal version and a spiritual version. Some people are called by God to leadership, governance, stewardship. For Christ’s sake, the devil will take that same leaning and use them to control everybody. And we’ll say they have a controlling spirit, a witchcraft spirit.

But they were called to lead and to govern. It’s in them to lead. If they’re carnal, they’ll control. If they’re spiritual, they’ll cultivate and edify. And they’ll be held captive in the false distortion.

Some people are called to influence, persuade with diplomacy for God’s sake. But if they get carnal, that same thing will be manipulation. Some people are called to discern for Christ’s sake.

But if they don’t use their discernment for Christ’s sake, they get in the flesh, they’ll be suspicious. They’ll be say, “I feel some. I’m sus. I’m feeling vi. Did you feel all that?” No, no, no.

You’re in the flesh and your gift is perverted and you’re suspicious of everything. I told you some are called to fear in a very high level way and either they’re going to rever God or they’re going to fear everything else. Some people are called appointed to to deal with appointed times for Christ’s sake. You’re called to know times and seasons. And if you don’t walk in God’s times or seasons, you’ll live with disappointment.

Meaning feeling as if you always have missed an appointment. But if you want to get healed today, you embrace God’s purpose for your propensity and break the power of Antichrist. Some people are called to preserve the lives of others for Christ’s sake. If you don’t get involved in that like Joseph, you’ll find yourself operating out of self-preservation. Preservation is who you are at your core.

It’ll go one way or the other. Some people are called to be righteously in to feel be filled with righteous indignation for Christ’s sake. So you can go do something about what’s wrong.

But if you don’t go that direction, you’ll just be an angry person using indignation for your own purpose. That’s Antichrist. To take God’s propensity and leaning for his purpose and have it replaced with something for your own purpose or a satanic purpose is an antichrist spirit at work in a person’s life. Some people are called for divine purpose. If they don’t walk in divine purpose, they’ll walk in their own purpose.

They’ll be selfish. Some people are called for apologetics. And if they don’t walk in that, they’ll find themselves just being argumentative, arguing over which tree is the tallest. You know, people that just argue over everything. They’re really meant to be an apologist in God.

Next slide. Is that it? There you go. Some people are called to be reformers, challenging legitimate systems for Christ’s sake. If they don’t do it, they’re going to walk in rebellion cuz they’re going to rebel against something cuz they’re bent that way.

Some people are called to have conviction steadfast for Christ’s sake. If they don’t walk in that, they’ll be stubborn. Some people are called to pioneer and explore for Christ’s sake. If they don’t walk in that, they’ll live with restlessness. Some people are called to consecrate, to live in solitude, to concentrate for Christ’s sake, they don’t walk in that, they’ll find themselves withdrawing in despair.

Those of you that have a propensity to consecrate like Jesus withdrew and went into the wilderness to pray, if you don’t if you you have a propensity to withdraw for consecration purposes, you don’t use it for the right purpose, you’re going to be withdrawn in your cave in despair cuz you’re going to withdraw cuz that’s your leaning. Some people are called to analyze and be strategic, problem solve for Christ’s sake. If not, you find yourself just overthinking everything. Some people are called to focus, mastery, discipline for Christ’s sake. If not, you’re going to be obsessed with things that have no no purpose.

Excellence, attention to detail, for Christ’s sake. You don’t walk in that, you’ll be walking in perfectionism in the flesh. Some people are called to evaluate, discern, quality control. For Christ’s sake, you don’t walk in that, you’re going to be a critical person. Is anybody seeing themselves in here somewhere?

Next slide. Do I have any more? Some people are called to be sensit sensitive and have hospitality and serve for Christ’s sake. They don’t walk in that, they’ll be people pleasers. Some people are called to be confident and exalt the name of the Lord.

If they don’t exalt his name, they’re going to exalt their own pride. Quickest way to kill pride is to exalt his name. Anybody want to kill pride, then you your job in life is to lift him up. I said if you want to kill pride, your job in life is to lift him high.

Come on, let’s crush pride in this place right now in the name of the Lord. Make it your job to exalt the name of the Lord, not yourself, the Lord. and it’ll crush pride in your life. Resource development and wealth and stewardship for Christ’s sake. Some people are called to walk in that. If you don’t, you’ll find yourself walking in materialism.

Some people are called to save, prepare, be resourceful for Christ’s sake. If you don’t walk in that, you’ll be a hoarder. Some people are called to imagine and to have capacity to envision other realities, other dimensions. If you don’t walk in it, you’ll live with escapism. You’ll just be trying to get high and go somewhere in your head.

Some people are called to be visionaries, creative, prophetic imagination. If if you don’t walk in that, you’ll live in a fantasy world. Some people are called to investigate, research, discover for Christ’s sake. If you don’t walk in that, you’ll be dealing with forbidden things. Some people are called to communicate and awareness campaigns to make the community aware of things they need to know for Christ’s sake.

If you don’t walk in that, you’ll be a big gossiper cuz that’s your leaning to communicate what people are doing. That’s enough. Y’all got the point? Lift your hands to him right now. Some people are called for discretion and to protect and to be confidential for Christ’s sake.

You don’t walk in it, you going to be a secretive person. Father, I thank you. God told me that many people have been held captive in a distorted version of themselves. And that’s the first thing he wants to address today. We must renounce Antichrist cuz he’s the one that’s trying to replace Christ with a different purpose for your leaning.

I need you to pull on him right now in the name of the Lord. Come on, pull on him in the name of the Lord. Confess the person you’ve become. Come on. I need you to confess.

Confess. Which oneever? Well, which which one was yours? Say it to God and say, “God, I’m not just going to confess what I did. I want to confess what I’ve become.” Rosha.

See, some people confess quote their sins. They confess what they did. Confessing what you did don’t give you victory over it. It’s confessing what you’ve become. Cuz you got to change what you become in order to overcome what you did.

In the name of the Lord, I dare you to confess right now. Come on, call on him. I’m giving you a chance to call on him. He says, “If you will confess your sins, he’s faithful and just to forgive them, forgive you, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.” Sins are not necessarily the action. It is what should become.

This is a deep work surgery in the house right now. Mandorash. The spirit of the Lord is in the room. Thank you, Lord, for the glory that’s in the room right now. The glory that can transform.

God says he wants to exchange the person we’ve become with the person we were meant to be right now. There’s an exchange that’s getting ready to happen in this room. If you give up that other person, God says, “I’ll drop the new man right now or I’ll activate the new man.” Those of you watching by live stream, I need you to confess something. If you saw that, God wants to make an exchange with you in the name of the Lord. You talking about deliverance, it’s going to happen instantly.

Just like that. When you change the root, the fruit will change. When you change the root, the fruit will change. You get the right propensity for the right reason. You got to say, “I will not serve Antichrist.

I’m here to serve the Lord.” Glory to God. I’m doing everything for Christ’s sake. If it ain’t for his sake, I don’t want to do it. I don’t want money for my own sake. I want to do it for his sake.

Everything, everything I do, I do it as unto the Lord in the name of the Lord. God, I pray that there would be a great conviction come over this room now. Thank you for the Holy Ghost and conviction and fire coming into the room in the name of the Lord. Thank you for the strength of God to rearrange the heart in the name of the Lord. Somebody’s desperate enough in here to want to reach to God to to want to call on his name.

Somebody says, “I need change right now. said, “I can’t go another Sunday trying to hold back this wrong version of me, trying to conceal this wrong version of me. I need an exchange from heaven in the name of the Lord. I need to feel a little more desperation in the house. I don’t know. I don’t know.

I don’t know. I just know if you’re not if you don’t want it, it’s not going to happen. You got to want it. You can’t sit there passive. You got to receive.

You got to open up your heart and declare the new over your life. You got to get aggressive in the Holy Ghost right now. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Father. Thank you, Lord.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you that pride is coming down. Thank you, Lord. God, secretism is coming down. Thank you.

Suspicion is coming down. Thank you. Phobias are being destroyed in the name of the Lord. Thank you, oh God. I declare the judgment of God upon the spirit of witchcraft in this house.

I declare the judgment of God on the spirit of Antichrist in this house. You spirit of Antichrist, the Lord defeated you at the cross. You were judged at the cross and I declare God’s wrath over this spirit of Antichrist. Spirit of Antichrist. I denounce and I break every covenant and tie with the Antichrist spirit.

My body belongs to the Lord. My purpose belongs to the Lord. I will not replace Christ with Antichrist. I declare judgment. Let the wrath of God be upon me to judge Antichrist.

May the rebuke of the Lord rest on this house and rebuke Antichrist and rebuke the devourer in the name of the Lord. I declare the rebuke of the Lord in the house. I declare the judgment of God in the house. I declare the wrath of God in the house against the Antichrist spirit, the rebuke of the Lord, the strong hand of the Lord. All you got to do IS Agree With GOD And get on God’s side and declare the defeat of that antichrist spirit.

We command you to go in the name of the Lord. We command you to loot every household in Jesus’ name by the power of God. Now, I want you to prophesy over your own life. I want you to declare over your own life. Declare your freedom and declare you’re going to walk in God’s will.

You’re going to walk in God’s purpose. Cleanse us right now. Let there be cleansing fire in the house. Thank you for cleansing us in the name of the Lord. In the name of the Lord.

Glory to his name. Glory to his name. Glory to his name. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus.

Judgment. Divine judgment against Antichrist. Divine judgment. trying to exalt yourself above the knowledge of God. You prideful spirit, God will bring you low today. Divine judgment trying to take God’s stuff.

God said he’s a thief because he doesn’t have anything of his own. And when a thief be caught, it’s got to pay back. He’s been devouring your life, said the Lord. He’s devoured what belonged to you.

But God said, “Today, the thief has been caught because now you have understanding.” And God’s going to cause the thief to pay back. And I speak to the earth, cough it up. Cough it up. Cough it up. Cough it up in the name of the Lord.

Everything that’s been stolen by me walking in an alternate reality with a wrong distorted picture of myself, I declare is coming back sevenfold. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I’m commanding the thief TO CAUSE IT UP. Antichrist is a thief. cause of my resources, CAUSE OF MY PURPOSE, BECAUSE OF MY YEARS, CAUSE OF What Was Lost. IN THE name of the Lord Jesus Christ, somebody help me intercede right here. Somebody help me pray for God to cough it up.

Make the devil cough it up in the name of Jesus. Yes. I need about 300 intercessors to to go mayhem on the devil right now in this place. Yes. Yes.

We’re almost there, but we’re going to stay right here until something breaks in this house. We’re going to stay right here until something breaks in this house. The Antichrist has people in captivity, but God said, “Today, the captive is going to be set free from distortion in their person. The Day You Come Out of that grave.

Today You Come Out of prison. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

I need somebody to command Antichrist to go find you a partner and together two of you. He says, “If two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done of my father which is in heaven.” I want you to find a partner and together rebuke the spirit of Antichrist in the name of the Lord and to declare no more distortions and declare the thief has been come and declare payback is imminent. No more distortion. Payback is imminent. Yes.

Yes. Command the spirit of pride to come down. Declare, “I’m going to lean the right direction for God’s purpose.” Woo! There’s the glory coming in the house right there. death. I am crucified with Christ.

Nevertheless, I live Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Yes. No more distortions. No more distortion. And you break it by simply committing to honor God with everything that you are. Everything is for his purpose.

I won’t sing for the flesh. I won’t play for the flesh. I won’t preach for the flesh. I won’t do anything for the flesh because Antichrist is trying to replace Christ. Once he do that, I’ll lose out on many things.

So, we declare the defeat of the Antichrist spirit over this house and over the who are under the sound of my voice. We declare freedom to be what they were meant to be. No more slavery in the name of the Lord. You will not pip my gift. You will not pip my purpose for your kingdom.

I rededicate my mind. I rededicate my life. I rededicate my purpose. I rededicate my leaning. This is a day of rededication.

In the name of the Lord, I’m declaring a rededication right now. I’m rededicating my gift. I God says if you rededicate your gift, a fresh wind is coming. If you rededicate your marriage, a fresh wind is coming. If you rededicate your finances, A Fresh Wind IS COMING.

You say, “I’M GOING TO BE A TITHER.” A fresh wind is coming. Whatever you dedicate to God, he says, “I’mma breathe on it in this season. Oh yes. Yes. A fresh win to everything that’s rededicated in this season.

Rededicate your career. I hereby rededicate everything that I am to the Lord, the most high, the possessor of the heavens and the earth, the redeemer of all mankind. I give my life to him again. Oh yes. I don’t love us.

Felicia, can you come here just for a second? Stand right here, please. As I hear the Holy Ghost saying that there have been stumbling blocks in your path for many years. And the Lord says he never allowed them to be stumbling blocks. They were meant to be stepping stones.

But because you saw many of them as stumbling blocks, you allowed it to direct you a certain way. But today, God is reorienting your mind. And right now, for everything that’s thrown in your pathway by the enemy or whomever, God says it’ll be fuel to you in this next season. It’s only going to fuel you to go to the next place in him. And you won’t see it as a threat.

Neither will you see it as a stumbling block. And you won’t waste any energy on any of those things because God says all of your energy is for the next place. You need the fuel to go to the next level. And he knows what fuels you. He knows what activates you.

And God’s doing that. And also, there’s a grace coming on your life to speak words to reveal people’s hearts. God says there’s a discernment that’s been there.

But now, he’s going to allow you to speak words to reveal people’s hearts for the purpose of helping to turn their hearts toward the Lord. God says only he can turn the heart. The heart of the king is in the hand of the Lord and he can turn it any way he wants.

But he also has a team on earth that works with him. And he says he makes you a part of that team right now. And he’s going to cause you like a prophet to turn the hearts of people a certain direction for the Lord. And one of the ways you’re going to do it is you’re going to speak words. The Lord said that’s going to cause their heart to be revealed.

And when people see what’s really in their heart, then you’ll speak words of comfort and turn their heart to the Lord. So the Lord makes you an instrument right now for his purpose. And he allows your ministry to come out of the shadows in the name of the Lord. And he brings your ministry to the forefront because he’s ordained you for this hour. He’s seen your sacrifices.

He’s seen your pain and your sufferings and your trials. He says, “But now, as I told you before and I tell you again, it was never a stumbling block. It was all a stepping stone. And now you’ve come up to the level that he’s ordained. And he’s ready to commission you in a very special way.

And he’s going to bring you forth. And he’s going to change your garment from a garment of woe, a garment of pain, uh being identified with the pain that you’ve experienced. He wants to put a brand new fragrance around you that does not smell like where you’ve been. God is changing your fragrance in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. And I declare the spirit of humility over your life because he’s going to do a wonderful thing.

In order for you to walk in what he’s doing, you must maintain the humility that’s in your spirit. And I declare the spirit of wisdom on your life to know how to speak to reveal the hearts of men. And I declare confidentiality in your life for you will know what’s in men’s heart. And God says you won’t tell a soul unless he gives you permission to speak. And God says you must obey him for the day that you break your covenant with him. and begin to speak things that you should not speak, then God will come and chastise you.

For he will reveal he will he will reveal information to you that is classified. And he says he did it so you could pray and so you can speak and so you can reveal people’s hearts, but never to gossip. And I declare the spirit of gossiping is broken in the name of the Lord. Not that you was never a gossiper, but because that spirit can sometimes get confused with people who have a lot of insight. You’ve got insight knowledge and you must you must maintain that knowledge with a sacredness.

Yeah. Everybody lift your hands to him. Glory to his name. I worship you almighty God. There is none like you. from the top.

I worship you. I worship you, Almighty God. There is none. There is none like you. I worship you.

I worship you. Oh prince of peace of peace. That is what I long to. I give you praise you praise for you are my righteousness rightuousness. Oh I worship you.

Worship you mighty God. I see God. There is none. There is none like you. Sing I worship you.

Worship you. Mighty God mighty. Oh there is none. There is none like you. Oh, I worship you.

Worship you. Prince of peace. Prince of peace. Oh, that is what I long to do. I give you praise.

Praise. give you praise. Oh, you are my righteousness. I give you praise everybody. I give you praise. You praise.

You are my rightousness. I give you praise all the way in the back. Everybody, I give you praise. You praise. You are my righteousness.

Yes. You are God’s name. Sing I worship you. I worship you, Almighty God. Mighty God.

There is none, there is none like you. Amen. I want you to greet someone and say, “Welcome to Embassy Covenant Church. Good to see you. Thank you for coming today.

So happy to see you. Praise the name of the Lord. Say Jesus is Lord. He’s King above all. Hallelujah.

Hallelujah. Tell them there’s nobody like our God. I said, tell them there’s nobody like our God. If somebody’s getting healed, I need you to get up. Tell them there’s nobody like our God.

He’s a healer. He’s a deliverer. Whatever you need, Jesus is here to do it by the Holy Ghost. If the spirit comes on you, that’s what he’s probably doing in your life. He’s probably healing you of something.

Glory to his name. You got to know how to receive. Everybody say receive. Receiving is active. Receiving is not a passive thing.

It’s an active thing. When you receive something, you grab it. You possess it. You seize it. The Bible says the kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violent taketh it by.

If you’re going to get something from God, you got to take it by. You got to take up a mantle. God said there are mantels in the house right now. I feel it in the Holy Ghost. A mantle is a responsibility for continuity in history.

God starts something in the past and he wants to continue it in the present and the future and he needs somebody that’ll take the responsibility. Those that are willing to take the responsibility for what God started yesterday, they are picking up a mantle. They don’t just fall on you. You got to take it up. You got to take the responsibility of what somebody else was shouldering.

And when you see a mantle at work because of proximity, you see how it moves on somebody. You see how it moves them. And you say, “I’m taking up that responsibility. I’m close enough to take it up. I’m committed to God that that won’t die with that person.

I’m going to carry it into the next generation.” You can take up a mantle in this place right now. I’m declaring that what God has started years ago, I picked it up and I’m carrying it right now. But I’m not by myself. There’s some others in the house right now. You’ve already picked up a mantle, but I’m calling on some other people in here.

Pick up responsibility and there’ll be a transfer of anointing on your life. I’ll pray all night. I’ll fast all for for a week straight. I’ll dedicate my life. I’LL DIE TO my flesh.

Take the responsibility and you get the mantle. I know a lot of people talk about getting mantels without responsibility, but they will never transfer until you take it up. And God says you got about 30 seconds to make up your mind if you want to take up a mantle because he wants to transfer something to you right now. Heat. Heat.

Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up. Pick it up.

Pick it up. I said pick up a mantel right now. Glory to God. Hallelujah. All you need to pick up a mantle is proximity.

I watched Bishop Norman Wagner for years and I God gave me proximity with him to him and I was able to pick up some of his mantle. I’ve watched Bishop Tuda of Bismar for years. God gave me proximity and I was able to pick up mantles and then that which he gives you all mixed together but without responsibility. You’ll walk away with an emotional feeling and no mantle. Glory to God.

His truth endureth. Tell your grandkids to serve you. Not in a negative way. You know what I mean? Tell them to support your vision, your dream.

Help them learn how to support your vision and dream. And that proximity will allow them to take responsibility. People who don’t take responsibility for nothing can never carry a mantle. And they have to start over in life when God intended them to stand on the shoulders of another. You don’t have time to start over.

Someone asked me the other day, “How did you have a church at 25 years old? What did you know at 25?” I said, “Very little. Well, how could you have a successful church at 25 and you knew very little because I took the patterns of the father. Everything that the father said do, I used their patterns. I used their wisdom until God gave me my own.

Hear what I said. But if you have to be original, then you will waste years in your life cuz you don’t have time to do it all. Grab the patterns of the fathers and the mothers. Use them in your life until God gives you what you have and together many things will happen in your life. Glory to God.

Who got a mantle today? Did anybody make a decision to carry something? I just want to see if you’re a guest today. I want you to stand so we can acknowledge you. And I’m just like, wow.

All over time, I see that. But I need to acknowledge our guest. I knew you guys were coming. We’re going to pray for you before you leave. Bless you.

Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. Thank you for coming. I see you in the back. Thank you.

And if you would like to meet with us right after service, we’re going to be doing a guest reception in the green room right out those doors to my left. My wife, well, not my wife and I. I’ll be there alone today. Pastor Letha is in is in uh Fort Worth, Texas today uh at a Mary Kay convention. And uh she’s having a wonderful time.

I called and she didn’t answer. She called me too though. I’m just playing with you guys.

But uh she’ll be back Tuesday and so I’ll be there if you want to meet with us. If you don’t, there were QR codes that you could follow the prompting with as well. Um I want to mediate. I was supposed to be mediating faithfulness.

And so before we go, I need to do that because God says he wants a richness, a royalty in our spirit today. And I’m going to release that. Then I’ll pray for you and then we’re going to have to call it today. Um, you guys got time for me to do this? Okay, that’s you up front.

What about you in the back? You guys got time for me to do this? I need to know. I don’t want to scratch where people aren’t itchy. Good to see you sitting up front heads.

I like that look on you. Praise the Lord. Look like a preacher. I’m just messing with you. Listen to me just for a moment.

Faithfulness comes from the Greek word pistis that means faith actually. Pisto is faithfulness the adjective and it means trustworthiness. It means reliability. It means credibility. if it’s faithful, is trustworthy, is credible, is solid.

So, it speaks to solidity. Anything that is faithful can be trusted. And because it can be trusted, it’s valuable. It’s valuable. Things that you can trust are meaningful in your life. and what God and so therefore it’s a richness that has to do with it.

It it has worth attached to it. Actually, faithfulness is one of the what the Bible calls the true riches. True riches. Faithfulness is more valuable than gold. Gold is hard.

Gold is reliable. Diamonds are hard. Jewels are reliable. Foundations that are built with stones are how hard. You can build things on faithful foundations, solid ground.

If you build on the sand, your house will shift. You build a relationship on something that’s not trustworthy. Storms can cause corruption. Corruption speaks of things that break apart. Corruption is the opposite of faithfulness.

If it’s corrupt, it’s not held together and it’s weak. It has no integrity. And you can’t build on corruption. So God, I pray, oh God, you remove the corruption from our lives. Oo, glory to God.

Remove all corruption from our lives because I need to be solid. I need to be reliable. I need to be consistent. I need to be faithful. I need to have worth.

Corruption has absolutely no value. People who are corrupt can’t be trusted. You can’t build a marriage on corruption. You can’t build a life where there’s corruption because it cannot hold found. It cannot hold structures.

And so the Lord says today, he wants to release fidelity in the house. Woo! Glory to his name. He wants to take the very faithfulness that he is and blow it into our life. For the fruit of the spirit, part of that fruit, the Bible says, is faithfulness.

It doesn’t come from us. He says he will join his faithfulness with our spirit and cause us to become faithful like he is. And he says when you become reliable, you become solid. You be you have when you have credibility, he says your social credit is going to skyrocket. Everybody say social credit.

That means when you speak, people will say that your voice is worth something. If you’re on the team, your presence means there’s something valuable going on. Oh, I feel the Holy Ghost right there. There’s going to be so much integrity, so much faithfulness in some of you that when you show up, God makes the whole event credible because you are a part of it. And God wants and people will people will want you on their team because of your social capital.

You won’t have to knock on doors. They’ll be coming to get you. I’m declaring attraction. And I’m declaring people will be in demand as a result of their faithfulness, their credibility, their reliability, their consistency, their solidity, their their their ability to uphold things. I want you to look at Luke 16.

We’re going to mediate this in just a moment, but I want to give you the picture. Luke 16:10. Let’s read together. What does it say? He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.

He that is unjust in least is also in much. Next verse read. If therefore ye have not been faithful in unrighteous mamine, that means the material possessions of this world, who will commit to your trust, notice the word, true riches. True riches. True riches.

So there are there’s material possessions, riches of this life, and then there’s what we call true riches. And God says if he can find a faithful person, he’ll trust people’s souls to you. He’ll trust the future to you. He’ll trust gifts of healing to you. He’ll trust a ministry.

He’ll trust a business, something of great value in the earth. He’s looking for people that are trustworthy. God loves us all. Somebody say, “He loves us all, but he does not trust us all. And what comes into our life by God is either our ability to receive it or his ability to trust us.

And he wants to us to be in a place and this is what’s getting ready to happen to embassy. Many of you are going to become so credible. Ooh. So credible that God’s going to trust us with much and trust you personally with much. And your there’s going to be a richness about your person.

There’s going to be a wealth inside of you that demands respect that commands dollars, that commands things to happen. Because you’re on the team, stuff is going to work just because you showed up. Somebody’s going to put your name on their letter head and their business will do well because your name is on their letterhead. your name is going to he’s about to make somebody’s name great in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Not because he’s trying to do it in a carnal way, but because of the wealth of faithfulness that that you have become. If that’s you, you need to lift those hands to him.

If that if you sense that that your words need to matter to your children, your words need to matter to your neighborhood, your words need to matter. Ooh, glory. If you’re tired of saying the same thing a hundred times, if your words need to carry weight in the name of the Lord, God says he’s going to put something in your character, something in your fragrance that will cause people to respond to your word. There’s a weight of glory about to hit your life in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.

I want to show you. I want to show you how faithfulness is connected to jewels. Let’s look at it. Malachi 3:13. Malachi 3:13.

Read. What does it say? This is God talking to the nation of Israel. Your words have been stout against me. These people are upset with God, sayeth the Lord.

Yet ye say, “What have we spoken so much against thee?” What do we say against you, Lord? He says, “Ye have said it is vain.” There are some people who walk with God for a season and they conclude it is vain to serve God. They didn’t get out of it what they thought they were supposed to get. They didn’t know how to go behind the scenes. That’s why we’re doing these kind of services so we can see how to go behind the scenes and how to work with God, how to get what’s ours.

They didn’t know how. So, they concluded falsely that it was vain to serve God. And these were the leaders. And you have leaders today who have concluded that serving God does not pay off as if God is not faithful. Two kinds of people in the church.

He says they said ye have said it is and God knew they said it cuz this is God repeating what they’ve done. God knows what you said in your heart. He says it is vain to serve God. And what profit is it that we have kept his ordinances and that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts? What profit did it bring us?

God heard you when you said it. If you said it. Next verse. What does he say? And now we call the proud happy.

In other words, we’re saying the sinners are the one that’s happy. Them people doing that other stuff. Look how happy they are. Yeah. They that work wickedness are built up is what that means.

They’re built up. Their lives are going up. Yeah. They that tempt God, even when they tempt God, God seems to let them go. They escape.

I don’t see any judgment coming on them. Anybody feel like that? Has anybody ever felt like that? Well, the Lord heard it. I just need you to know.

I ain’t judging you. I just want you to know the Lord heard it. Next verse.

But watch this. This is the other group. This is the other group. Then they that fear the Lord spake often to one another, and the Lord hearkened and heard it. So you had two groups.

One was saying, “It’s vain to serve the Lord.” But there was another group in the midst, too. They were called those that fear the Lord. They spake often to one another and and the Lord he hearkened and heard it. And the a book of remembrance was written before him for them that fear the Lord and that thought. So while the others were he he is not uh a great God and it doesn’t profit.

There’s no profit in serving him. The other people were saying his name is great. He is a great God. He is sovereign. He will work everything together for the good.

There’s He is faithful. When I can’t trust his hand, I’ll trust his heart. What group are you in today? Where where you where you fitting? Where are you in this here discussion?

I’m almost done. Next slide. And he says, “And they shall be mine, sayeth the Lord of hosts, in that day when I make up my notice what he calls them. The faithful people are called jewels. Precious stones, solidity, reliability, value, jewels.

He called them his treasure. I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serve him. Verse 18, then shall you return and discern between righteousness and and between him that serveth God. So the key to those who are really serving God, they are faithful. The servants of the Lord are faithful in good times, faithful in bad times.

The servants of the Lord talk often one to another. They know who to call up when there’s trial in the land. They know who not to call. You don’t call the other group that says there’s no profit in serving the Lord. You got anybody to call?

Does anybody got anybody to call? Is there anybody you can call? And you know what you going to get on the other line? Say, “He’s a good guy.” Yes, he is. He’s showing up a good God.

You can call up something like you can call up brother Dutley for sure the way he came up here and testify. You can call him up and he’s going to tell you what God can do. You can call up the right person and that strengthens and God writes a book of remembrance meaning he brings them out and he delivers them. The last verse I want you to see and we’re going to pray 1 Corinthians 4 1 and 2. 1 Corinthians 4 1 and two. Let a man so account of us as the ministers of Christ and stewards of the only way I’m going to be a steward of the mystery of God is if he does what?

He has to trust me with it. Moreover, it is required in stewardship that a man be found faithful. This is what he wants to impart today. Who wants to receive this impartation? He’s going to make you wealthy on the inside.

And then he’s going to commit to you true riches. True riches. And it’s going to cause your name to be credible because putting confidence in an unfaithful person, the Bible says, is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joint. The most painful experience you can have is trusting an unfaithful person causes pain in your life. The Bible says faithfulness is rare.

Y’all, y’all need to see that verse, don’t you? Let’s see if we can find it. Proverbs 20 and 6. Let’s go there first. Proverbs 20 and 6 real quick.

Proverbs 20 and 6. Read everybody. Most men will proclaim everyone his own goodness, but a faithful man, faithfulness is rare. Say it. Faithfulness is rare.

Proverbs 25 and 19. Read Proverbs 25:19. Confidence in an unfaithful man in the time of trouble is like a broken tooth and a foot out of joy. Serious pain. Because they can’t hold up what we’re doing.

They will let everything down. I want you to stand to your feet if you want to receive this right now. Glory to God. Glory to his name. Faithfulness.

Faithful is our God. And if God is faithful, he wants a people who reflect that image. Faithful is the people of God. Put the prayer of confession up there. The prayer the the prayer that I asked you to place up there.

The prayer of consecration. We’re going to consecrate ourselves to him and we’re going to believe him for faithfulness. Before we read that though, I just want you to prepare yourselves to receive his faithfulness. Everything in your life is getting ready to change. Woo!

Glory to God. Value. You are the jewel. You are the jewel. you become credible. You’re not going to have to cause people to, you know, to argue with how how credible you are.

Your name will precede you in this next season. Woo! You’re not going to have to break doors down. They going to have your seat ready before you get there. Glory to your name.

I I promise you there’s there’s something getting ready to shift for the faithful. Faithfulness does pay off. Tell somebody, “Faithfulness pays off.” It does. Faithfulness is currency. It’s wealth.

The Lord said, “If you walk before the Lord in your integrity or faithfulness, then your children will be blessed after you.” Oh, the children think they’re blessed because of what they’re doing. But what they don’t know that you’ve walked before the Lord in your integrity and God has promised to bless your children after you. Somebody better grab that. That’s wealth. That’s wealth.

That’s wealth. I’m declaring riches on the inside. Glory to God. A wealth that oozes out. You can put on a suit from Walmart, but because you’re so wealthy on the inside, people just assume that suit cost $1,000 because you’re the one wearing it.

They don’t know it came from Walmart. Come on, somebody. There’s a level of wealth you can have on the inside of your person that people assume what you say is right. They Just Take You at your word because of the wealthiness and the excellence of your person. Who wants that in their life?

In the name of the Lord, God’s getting ready to change something in your life. Oh yeah. Some of y’all trying too hard. God says stop it and receive the spirit of faithfulness. Glory to his name.

Grab your neighbor by the hand. Pro Lord by faith. Thank you for faithfulness. Thank you for the Holy Spirit comes to comes to bear the fruit of faithfulness in our life.

So, Holy Spirit, I give you permission right now to begin bearing the fruit of faithfulness in my life. Take God’s faithfulness and start working it in my life. Eternity mixed in with time. See, faithfulness, it can only happen when eternity enters into time. And I’m declaring eternity is getting ready to break into your your world time and produce the fruit of faithfulness in your life and people are going to see your value.

Some of you are so upset that folks don’t see your worth and you doing your best trying to get people to see how how great you are. Stop it, sayeth the Lord. Bear the fruit of faithfulness. Glory to God. And they’re going to be calling you from a a far off.

Not because of your talent, but because they trust you. You don’t have to be the most talented person when they trust you. And the closer we get to the end times, the more you’re going to see corrupt, unfaithful people. So faithfulness will be a rare thing. You’ll be afraid to get married because you don’t know if the person has any integrity.

The first thing you need to ask people is, are you faithful to anything? Because if you’re faithful to little, then you can be faithful in much. But if you can’t be faithful over that little thing you’re doing, I can’t trust you with my heart. I can’t trust you with my heart. I’m watching the way you treat your dog.

I’m watching how you treat your children. I’m watching how you treat yourself. So why should I trust you with my heart when you’re that abusive to your own self? Oo, glory to his name.

But God’s getting ready to change all this today. Are you hearing me? There’s a shift coming in our life. Wealth upon wealth. Wealth that comes out of heaven is getting ready to explode in your soul.

Glory to God. I got a treasure on the inside. You got a treasure in this earthn vessel. And I need you to produce faithfulness through me cuz my credibility needs to grow. I want to be so credible to this generation that they’ll respond to what I have to say.

And God wants you to have the same kind of credibility. Quit begging people. You’re not a beggar. Quit begging people. You’re not a beggar.

God says you’re credible in this next season. And if you’ve already credible, God wants to take it to another level. Jacob was so credible as a patriarch that he went into Pharaoh’s house and Pharaoh called him his father. Credibility has nothing to do with your position. You may not have the top position, but you got you’re the most credible person in the room.

People think because they got the high position that makes them credible. No, you got a lot of people with high position are totally corrupt, no integrity. The most credible person in the room is the faithful one. And they are the most valuable person in the room. And they’re really the one holding things together.

Father, we call on your name. Oh yes. Thank you Jesus. Thank you Jesus. Oh thank you for Thank you.

Tell that person I’m praying for you. By squeezing their hand. Let them know I’m praying for you. I’m praying for the overcoming of corruption. We renounce corruption.

We renounce compromise. We renounce mixtures. We renounce Satan. We renounce antichrist. We renounce rebellion.

We renounce all of that carnal stuff. We renounce the carnal mind. Thank you for your judgment against the carnal mind. Thinking that the carnal mind was crucified with Christ Jesus. Thank you for the carnal mind.

The carnal heart was the carnal nature was crucified with Christ Jesus. I ain’t got it crucified. It was already crucified. I am crucified with Christ. I accept that that that thing is defeated.

Thank you that Satan was defeated at the cross. You have no legal right to me. I declare the blood of Jesus over my life in the name of the Lord. I’m cleansed. I’m delivered.

I’m set free. And I come into an alignment with your finished works even right now in the name of the Lord. And I declare God and I are connected by covenant. God and I are connected. I’m his son.

I’m his daughter. He’s my father. He’s my father. He’s my creator. He’s my source.

Yes, he is. He’s my source. His life is flowing in me right now. His life is flowing. He gave me the Holy Spirit.

I have the Holy Spirit, not the unholy spirit. I’ve got the Holy Spirit. I got a sacred spirit in me. I got a spirit that came from heaven on the inside of me right now. The very spirit of the most high lives in my heart, lives in my mind.

And if I agree with that spirit, the Holy Spirit will produce faithfulness in me. And by faith, I’m declaring faithfulness is growing right now inside of me. This integrity, this lack of integrity, this corruption is being healed. It’s being driven out like a germ. It’s being driven out like a virus.

It’s being driven out like a corrupt thing. There’s a healing grace in the house right now. God’s healing corruption, compromise at the job, compromise in the family, compromise in relationships. God’s healing all compromise, all fakeness, all false ways, vain attitude, pretense. God’s healing all of that stuff, pretending to be what I’m not.

Misusing people, abusing people, not treating my covenants right, God’s healing all of that. My wayward attitude, he’s healing it in the name of the Lord. I declare fire, fire, fire. I declare the fire of God. I Declare The Fire OF GOD Fall IN This House.

WE ARE those that fear the Lord. We know that there’s value in serving God. Serving the Lord is not a vain thing. We are those that will talk one to another while the others are talking about God. We’re praising God.

While the others are saying, “God is not who he said he is.” We’re lifting his name high. I’m on the Lord’s side. I dare you to said, “I’m on the Lord’s side.” Woo! Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

Now, loose those hands and clap them and give God praise right there. Oh yes. Oh yes. Now watch. Let’s pray.

Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before you in gratitude for your mercy, your grace, the finished work of Christ. Today, today I present myself to you. I present myself to you. I place my entire life at your disposal as a living sacrifice. Holy and acceptable unto unto you.

There’s the word, faithfully. Say it faithfully. Say it faithfully. She standing up. The Lord’s moving in your life or you just standing over there.

Okay, I had to check. I present my future to you. I present my future to you. I surrender my personal ambitions. Wherever they conflict with your eternal purpose, let the life you conceive me for in Christ become increasingly manifested through me.

My storage is empty. My storage is empty. And I am available to you. This is a apostolic team that has come to be a part of this service and also come for prayer for the work that they do to our churches with churches. This is Stephanie Woodson, the daughter of Elder Woodson and Elder Woodson over there and she’s here.

She frequents the church from time to time, but she has her team with her. So, I want you all to help us pray for them because they do work in building churches and strengthening ministries and moving them from level to level. Is that right? All right. Let’s believe God for the work that they’re doing.

You’re the captain of this team, right? All right. in my hands to reach out to men. Thank you, Father. To show them your love. Let some of the grace that’s on this house be on this team.

Glory to God. Let them build churches, strengthen ministries, open dimensions with wisdom. Talk to leadership. Reconcile the church on earth with the plan in the heavens. Release heavenly patterns to this ministry so they can see what God had ordained for each house they walk into.

I pray, oh God, their eyes would be open to spiritual things. Their ears would hear prophetically. There would be great rank to go into regions and address principalities and powers in the name of the Lord. Power to pull people out of captivity. Most of all, let them be a witness of your resurrection.

Let resurrection power be in their ministry. Let dead churches come back to life. Let pastors that are tired get new energy and new strength. Let them uncover gifts that are not being used in the house. The lost coins.

I hear God saying that you’ll discover recover lost coins in houses. Things that should be in circulation should be in operation, but they’re covered in the dust of the church and the tradition of the church. And God puts a broom in your hand and you’re going to sweep the house until you find every lost coin in their house and assemble them for strength. In the name of the Lord, we command the blessing of the Lord upon you. We command the strength of the Lord upon you.

Wisdom and knowledge beyond your years. May you use every pattern that God has shown you over the years from your fathers and your mentors and your leaders and connected to what God has given you to put you at the front of the line and be cutting edge in this day in the name of the Lord. May the Lord protect you personally. And may the blood of Jesus cover you and yours. And may you not fear what any enemy can do or say.

And may every word spoken against you fall down before your feet in the name of the Lord. I thank you for ordering their steps in Jesus name. to you. I’ll do what you say you to show someone the way and enable me to share. My storage is empty and I and I am available to you. See, Lord, I’m available, Lord.

I’m available to you. Oh, my will. I give I give I give I’ll do what do you me to show someone the way and then me to say my story and I am available and I am master. You can use me Lord. I’m your will but yours be my surprise.

It’s empty and I’m available. Say my STORAGE I am available. Have you my storage is empty and I am and I am. Oh my use me Lord. to me. I’ll go my soul.

And I am and I am love you. Apostle, let me lay hands on you real quick. Yes, please. God says that we only have so much time to make this connection right between you and I. And I know we’ve been trying, but God says we’ve got to forge this relationship, right? because there’s a few patterns that I have that belong to you.

And these patterns that I have connected with what you already have is going to cause you to experience a surge. But God said the clock is ticking. The onus is on me and the onus is on you. And you got to find your way into my world and find out how to connect in our flow because you got to get these patterns because the clock is ticking. We only have so much time before it’s going to say end of time.

Lift your hands to God. Jesus, you’re Lord over this experience. We say that it’s not going to be lost. We say we’re not going to lose the purpose. We say the purpose shall come to pass.

And God shall use you to help people get off of drugs. I hear him saying it right now. And God shall use you to help the addicted be set free in the name of the Lord. Because in this next wave, a lot of addicted people are going to come into this church addicted to all kinds of things. And God puts a sword in your mouth right now. and the sword is going to cut them free from these kinds of bondages.

And there is an apostolic work that you must do in people’s lives in this area. And there’s a foundation you must lay inside of them that will cause them to be free forever. I’m declaring permanence on you. And I’m declaring the spirit of faithfulness on you on another level. And riches belong in your heart and in your house.

I wish we had more time, y’all. Uh, it’s kind of late cuz I know God has so much he wants to do in everybody’s life. So, I don’t know what we’re going to do about that, though. I really don’t know. In the days of old, they would just come back the next day and the next day and the next day and they what they call revival and stuff like that.

The blessing of the Lord be upon Dr. Preston. Look at him over there. I see you. Faithful people.

Marcus, that’s your message. Faithful man. That’s why you’re so valuable. I thought about you when God was talking to me about that message. Lift your hands, sir.

Glory to God. That’s a wealthy man on the inside in the name of the Lord. And that same wealth is looking for him on the outside in many ways. And you’ll be a pattern for those who come behind you. And you’ll save them years of trial and error.

So God has to put you out front so they can see you. Like Moses when he was up in the mountain, they won the battle in the the valley when his hands was up just like you. God’s going to put some people around you to hold your hands up in the name of the Lord and to cause you to be up on a mountain for people to see. So this is a time of ascension in your life. I declare it in Jesus’ name.

Glory to God. Because of faithfulness. Hallelujah.

So, what y’all going to do about this? We got a problem. You said, “Run it back. We got a problem. God wants to do more than we have time.” That’s our problem.

Cuz the Holy Ghost is nowhere near done. We just starting to We just We just kick. We just, you know, and I haven’t even released the rest of these gifts. We got all kind of gifts that have to participate. So what we going to do about this, y’all?

Now I really need to know. See, some of y’all speaking for yourselves, but I’m trying to hear the rest of the church cuz they say, “Y’all hold church too long over there.” That’s what some people say. A church alive though is worth the drive. And a church with sight is worth the flight. I got to come up with something for holding church long.

Let me see. I haven’t come come up with something. And I’m going to be saying that, too.

But it’s got a rhyme, so I got to work it. Let’s receive our offering. I’m going to get you out of here. Come on. Let’s receive our offering.

And we’re going to get out of here today. Thank God for this team. They stand up the whole service. Look at them just like, “Are you tired? Want me to pray for you?
