The crown of the Lord’s creation is the new creation. Those who have been born again and God is going to bring what he’s going to birth. He’s going to birth a brand new kind of church. And it’s going to be a church made up of every ethnic group where people find a way to love one another. Where people find a way to fulfill their purpose in Christ Jesus.

And where we move from I to us, from me to we, from ours to mine. And the glory that God’s going to reveal in the world will be through the church of the living God. As a matter of fact, he says in the scriptures that even the angels will see God’s wisdom through the church. All principalities and powers will see how great God is based on what he does through the church. Yet there are still people saying, “I love Jesus, but I don’t love his church.” You need help because you cannot love Jesus without loving his church.

Because the church is God’s masterpiece in the earth that he’s going to use to reveal to principalities and powers and dominions that his wisdom is beyond our understanding. The angels are going to scratch their head and say, “How did you take that person who was down there and bring them up to this status to the point where they’re able to rule over us?” The angels are going to say, “How could you take those that were bound and cause them to be set free and give them power beyond the power you gave angels?” The angels in the entire universe will say, “How did you take nobodies and make them somebody?” How did you take a broken people and make them your masterpiece, God? And they will conclude, “What a mighty God we serve.” They will conclude that he’s greater than anything you know.

And so, there’s a worship that’s about to hit the earth. And this worship is going to be about how great he is. It won’t be about my name. It won’t be about your name. It won’t be about a brand.

It’ll be about his name. It won’t be about an ethnic group. It’ll be about how great our God is to bring forth a brand new creation that the world has never seen before. And we’re in birth pains right now. And God’s about to bring forth something the world has never seen.

And everybody’s going to lift their hands and say, “What a mighty God we serve.” I just wonder if you can catch a glimpse of that glory because that’s the new glory that’s in the house right now. I said there’s a new glory hitting the earth right now. And if you can see it, you can step into it. And that kind of glory has power. That kind of glory will drive the devil back.

That kind of glory will get the sick healed. That kind of glory will crush Satan under your feet. And I’m here to tell you, we’re about to step step step into that glory. Oh, I feel something moving right now. I wonder for real, can you see a catch a glimpse of him?

He’s trying to show us him on another level now. It’s more than he brought me out. It’s what he’s doing through us. That’s what the glory is all about. I wish I had about 400 of you to clap your hands and give him praise for the new glory.

Families are going to come together. How? I don’t know. It’s going to be the glory of God. God’s going to heal the breaches.

He’s going to make up the hedges. He’s going to do what nobody else can do through his church. You’re the masterpiece. We’re the epicenter of what God is doing. And he says throughout the ages to come, he’s going to begin to show forth his grace through his church.

He took nobody’s. The angel said, “What is man that thou art mindful of him and the son of man that thou visitest him? You made him a little lower than the angels, but you crowned him with glory above the angels. They’re going to say, “How could you do it through them?” Satan said, “I did everything to mess that person up. I did everything I could to stop them.

I did everything I could to keep the people divided. I did everything I could do to destroy in the earth. I was a roaring lion seeking whom I may devour. And in spite of all that the devil did, the divine providence of God, the divine providence of God can work through trouble, can work through disappointment, can work through failure, can work through people, places, things that don’t even know God is working through them. God’s going to work through everything in your environment in order to bring us to that place. converence is happening right now.

He’s going to use everything in your environment to get you to where you need to be. I said he’ll use your job. He’ll use your boss. He’ll use failures. There’s nothing off limits.

God says if it happens, I’ll use it for my glory. I need everybody to know we’re going to the mountain top. I need everybody to know God’s word is still is forever settled into heaven. Don’t you worry about a thing. Our God is God.

How is he going to do it? His wisdom is past finding out. I don’t fully understand it. I just know he’s the all wise God. And that all and when you get a revelation of the only of the all wise God, there’s a worship and a praise that’s going to come out of you that the praise team can’t motivate.

It’s a different kind of worship. You going to say, I see him for myself. I wonder if anybody see the Lord. Can somebody see the Lord? There’s a new glory hitting embassy right now.

I promise you, there’s a radical worship that the world has never seen about to hit this place because you seek God for yourself. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. Those have been redeemed from the hand of the enemy. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so. In the last days, say the Lord, I’ll pour out my spirit upon all flesh.

Sons and daughters shall prophesy. Old men shall dream dreams. Young men shall see visions upon the handmade. I’m going pour out my spirit. This is that day.

Receive the Holy Ghost. Glory to his name. Woo! Woo! Woo!

My my my We got a song that the angels cannot sing. I’ve been redeemed. I’ve been redeemed. We got a song that the angels cannot sing. A song that they cannot sing.

I’ve been redeemed. I’ve been redeemed. Somebody say it. I’ve been redeemed. I’ve been redeemed.

Thank you, Father. Hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

God wants us to see him greater than we see him right now. You worship him at the level of your vision of him. The song has nothing to do with it. Your song is really the level of your revelation. And God’s going to allow you to see him greater.

And out of you is going to come a greater praise. Glory to his name. The scales are falling off of somebody’s eyes right now. That I might know you. in the fellowship of your suffering and in the power of your revelation or resurrection. Glory to his name.

How many want to see him higher? Woo. Yes. That’s what’s the convergence. We’re in the season of the convergence now.

Thank you, Father. Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a way that you receive God. Thanksgiving is the way that you embrace God. He says, “I stand at the door and knock.

If any man open, I’ll come in and suck with him.” How do you open the door? Your heart has a door on it. Your heart has a door. How do you open the door of your heart? Thanksgiving.

Anytime you’re grateful, you’re opening up the door of your heart. And you begin to host the wealth of God. God is a wealthy God. His presence is wealthy and he wants to fill his people with his wealth this morning. Before we do anything, before we say anything, before we ask for anything, God wants to impart wealth in your spirit.

He wants to impart the wealth of his own person. So, I’m here to tell you, he’s knocking at the door of your heart now. And if you just open the door and be hospitable to him, thanksgiving is being hospitable. And the word hospitable comes from another word that we get hospitality from and another word that we get hospital from. When you open up the door, you become a healing agent because he fills you with his wealth.

And your presence becomes like a hospital to other people. You become a soother because of your presence. I dare you to open up the door of your heart and begin to tell him thank you. When you mix your prayer with thanksgiving, when you mix your praise with thanksgiving, when you mix everything with thanksgiving, you open up the door of your heart and you host the wealth of God. And God told me to tell you, you are about to host his wealth right now.

If you get be thankful in the room, in your own way, tell him thank you. Glory to God. Glory to God. In your own way, just tell him thank you. You’re hosting the presence.

Thanksgiving is the open door. That’s why the Bible says give thanks in all things. See, it could be a bad thing, but if if I can find something in it to say thank you, then he comes in and I host him and he helps me overcome the bad. The devil wants you to become bitter. He said in the last days children and people will become unthankful ingrates.

The moment you say you have nothing to be grateful for, you can’t see the value of God or anything. And that’s when you begin to sink into despair. Some people don’t see the value of their own life. You wake up in the morning, you have to look at the sun, you have to look at the children, you have to hear the beautiful sounds and say thank you. And when you say thankful, you bring in wealth because thanksgiving is showing appreciation.

Appreciation has to do with value. And the more you appreciate, the more value you take inashto. Somebody ought to thank God. Thank you for your children. Thank you for your life.

It may not be perfect, but don’t let one thing that’s messed up cause you to ignore the other part that’s well. The devil wants to focus your attention on 20 20% of what’s wrong with your life. So, you can be ungrateful for the 80% that’s right with your life. And if you’re ungrateful for the 80% that’s right, because of the 20% that’s wrong, you’ll forfeit the wealth of your own life. And God said there are many people in the house forfeiting the wealth of their own life because of the few things they don’t like.

You’re being unthankful. Thank God for the 80. That’s right. And then use the wealth to help to fix the 20. And never go to people in your life in any relationship and only talk about what’s wrong.

And don’t first talk about the 80% that’s right. And show gratitude for what’s right. Cuz nobody wants to hear you talk about what’s wrong and then don’t acknowledge what is right. Somebody shout shift. There’s a glory in the room right now.

Somebody’s whole world changed if you pick that one up right there. You can fix anything that’s wrong if you acknowledge what’s right first. Glory to his name. Hallelujah.

So, are you grateful? Well, you got some things to do today, but I just feel he wants to put a little more wealth inside of somebody. Why don’t you receive the wealth of your own life right now? Think about all the good God has done. Did you know if you read a book and got inspired, you ought to be thankful to the author cuz somebody labored to write the book.

But somebody in your past did anything for you to build you up. You ought to be thankful for that person in the past. If there’s a school teacher, an educator, anybody that came across your path that has done anything to cause you to be better, you need to be grateful. Because if you’re grateful, you’ll still you’ll receive the wealth of your path. This is a wealthy place.

I said this is a wealthy place. Glory to God. Come on. If some old grandparent helped you out, say thank you. Oh yes.

You couldn’t be where you are if it wasn’t for their contribution. Somebody prayed for you. Somebody had you on their mind. Somebody helped you go to college. Somebody blessed you some kind of way. be grateful.

Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Glory to his name. Ah, I feel God is moving in this space right here. He’s breaking ungratefulness right now.

You won’t be a part of the last day generation that is ungrateful. Say, “I renounce ungratefulness. Glory to God. I reject I reject bitterness. Unthankfulness.

The moment that you embrace gratitude, you move from lack to wealth. Your mind moves from what’s missing to what you have. I need your mind to shift right now. Shift. Oh.

Oh. Oh. from what you’re lacking to what you have. As long as you’re ungrateful, you’re focused on what you don’t have. And you’ll live a life of lack for the rest of your life because that’s your focus.

But God says you need to shift right now. He brought you here to shift from lack and look at all God has provided for you and tell it. And the more you see, the more you receive. The more you see, the greater your gratitude, the greater your wealth. Internal wealth precedes external wealth.

Hallelujah. Be grateful. Thank you, Father. The spirit of suicide that has been haunting people is tied to the inability to see the great the beauty that God has given. is tied to the inability to see the wealth of their own person, the wealth of their own life, the value of the people around them, the value of their own existence. The devil will lie to people and cause them not to see it to the degree they say it’s not worth living.

But today, we’re shifting Not one person in here will commit suicide if you I said not one. Not one. How many believe that? I said not one. Not one watching by live stream shall commit suicide.

We rebuke the spirit of untimely death and the spirit of suicide in Jesus mighty name. Devil go back to hell right now. I need somebody to help me praise him on that one. If you don’t have it for yourself, praise him for a teenager. Somebody’s cutting themselves.

Somebody’s self mutilating. Somebody’s destroying their own life because they don’t see the value of their person. But you got to tell them that there’s something to be thankful for. He’s given us all things pertaining to life and godlikeness. Glory to his name.

I feel like praying for somebody. If there’s anybody struggling with that thing, I need you to run up here real quick. that there’s anybody struggling with that spirit of suicide, you need to get up here quick. That’s right. We going to deal with this thing today. We going to deal with this thing today.

Shandor, I tell you, come on up here. Says, get closer. About right here in the name of the Lord. Right here. God’s going to heal all three, all four of you.

Come on up here in the name of the Lord. In the name of the Lord, come on up here. All five of you, come on up here. It doesn’t matter who comes. Come.

God’s going to break this thing off of somebody in the name of Jesus. All six of you get on up here. I said God’s going to break it off because Jesus is Lord. Because Jesus is Lord. I said Jesus is King.

And they got to get a revelation of Jesus. They got to get a higher revelation of the Lord. They got to get a higher revelation of what he’s already done for them. I didn’t say going to do what he’s already done. We going to make sure that some of you see these people, you need to mentor them after this is over.

Some of you people that got revelation of Jesus, you need to attach yourself to some of these that are up here right now and say, “I got to show you Jesus as I know him.” Cuz all they need is a revelation of Jesus on a higher level. And you’ll see value. You’ll see value in your own life. So I take authority over the liar in the name of Jesus Christ. The devil has lied to all five or six of you up here.

And we take authority. He’s the father of lies. When he lies, he speaks of himself.

But all you need is a little bit of truth. That truth will break the lie every time. So I need you all begin to renounce the lie. Say, in the name of Jesus, I renounce every lion spirit that has attested itself to my mind. I renounce every lion spirit that has attached itself to my heart.

And I break the power of that lion spirit. I break agreement with that lion spirit. And I command the lion spirit to loose me in Jesus’ name to the point where I get sick when I hear a lie. To the point where I my head hurts when I hear a lie. Let there be physical signs in my body when I hear a lie.

Let an alarm go off in my spirit to the point where I want to fight because I hear a lie. That I won’t receive a lie. That I have a hunger for the truth. Hey, let there be such a hunger for the truth that I cannot be deceived. God, stir up a hunger for the truth in them now.

The truth which is Jesus, the eternal truth, the big plan, the big picture, the big purpose. Why you were born, why God brought you here, why you’re male, why you’re female, why you were born, the year you were born, the day you were born, because you are a deliverer. I just heard the Lord say you’re like Moses. Glory to God. They tried to kill Moses from day one.

They tried to kill Jesus from day one. Deliverers are attacked early in life because if you ever get up, if you ever get up, God’s going to use you to save somebody else. And you’ve been under attack for a long time.

But today, today is the day of salvation. Heat up here. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat.

Heat up here. Heat. Heat. I want everybody to intercede for them right now. Come on.

I want a 100% participation. intercedes for everybody at this altar that they would get a higher revelation of the Lord for themselves and that will cause them to see their value. Come on, go in. Go in. Go in. Go in all the way in.

Heat. Heat. Come on. A few more minutes of intercession. And while you’re praying, pray for your grandchild.

Pray for your children. Pray for Gen Z that the spirit of suicide would be broken off of their life and that they would see their value in their world and why they are necessary. That that thing would fill their heart. They would see why they have to be here because they’re deliverers. The devil’s been after you, preacher, for a long time, but God said you’re a deliverer.

You got to make it. Moses made it. They put him in a Nile full of crocodiles, but God kept him alive. He He grew up in Egypt where he could have got influenced with all kinds of arts and and teachings that are wayward.

But God kept him. His little sister watched over him, and she got her own mother to nurse him because God kept him. That’s divine providence. God has kept you. And then when he became 40 years old, it kicked in.

He says, “I know why I’m here. I’m here to deliver the children of Israel.” It took him years to figure it out. But once it kicked in, his whole life changed. And God says, “It’s about to kick in, Andrea. It’s about to kick in.

And you’re going to recognize while you’re here, and something’s going to change. Everything the devil did, you going to say it didn’t work because God kept me deliverers. Deliverers to their people, to their generation, to their family. God has assigned people to all of them here. They tried to get Jesus when he was born.

And they killed all the other two year olds trying to get to one. The spirit of assassination always comes after deliverers. And you all have been fighting this for a long time.

But God says he got you. God has you. Divine providence. As they get up, I want y’all to give them somebody give them some love. as they get up, go back to their seat and just tell them, “You’re necessary. You’re necessary.

You’re necessary. You’re necessary.” Everybody else, shake somebody’s hand and welcome them to Embassy Covenant and tell them you’re necessary, too. Glad to have you in the house. Glad to have you in the house. We can’t do it without you.

It takes all of us. It’s a we thing. Everybody has a role. Everybody has a purpose. It’s necessary.

You can’t die on me. You can’t quit on me. I can’t make it without you. I need your prayer. I need your praise.

I need your service. Oh. Oh. Woah. Yes.

Oh yeah. Mama deliver it. deliverance. Oh, deliverance is in the house. Deliverance is in the house. Stretch forth your hand.

Deliverance is in the house. Be healed. In the name of Jesus, deliverance is in the house. Be healed. Look at somebody and say, “Be healed in Jesus name.” Tell somebody else, “Be blessed in Jesus name.

Heat. Heat. Y’all listen to me. There is no sin that’s greater than the gospel.

And sometimes people feel that they’ve blown it because they’ve done certain things that don’t nobody know about but them and a few people and they live with that shame and they think they’re rejected because of that. But God said there is no sin greater than the blood. That’s what that’s part of the revelation of Jesus. You got to understand the redeemer. The redeemer.

We’re going to ask you guys go back to your seat. The redeemer. The redeemer. There’s no sin greater than the blood. Say it.

No sin. It’s greater than grace. The grace of God is greater. Where sin abound, grace did much more abound. Grace did much more abound.

This is why the apostle said in Romans chapter 1 verse 16, put it on the board. 1 verse 16, what does he say? I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power of God unto to everyone that believeth to the Jew first and also to the Greek. The word salvation stoia means to save. Soozo means to save.

Soia means to save, deliver, set free, cleanse, purge, heal, benefit. When we speak of getting saved by the gospel, we are not just referencing getting into a church and getting fire insurance for he for heaven so we won’t go to the lake. That’s that it’s more than that. Say it. It’s more than that.

When we talk about getting saved, we’re talking about being completely set free from glory to glory. We got saved, but we’re being saved every day. Say it. We’re being saved every day from something. The only hold that Satan has ever had on humanity, The only hold that Satan has ever had on humanity was sin.

And Jesus did what? He died for our sins. Say, “Jesus paid the debt.” When the Lord paid the debt, you know what that means? That means Satan has no legal right to any believer. Say it.

Satan has no legal right. Satan has no legal right to my soul. If you’re born again, he has no legal right to you because Jesus paid the price. The only way the devil can have access to a believer, the only way is if we grant it to him through agreeing with his principles. Did you hear what I just said?

We can bestow or give him a gift of access to us by coming into an agreement with him. This is why the Bible says in Ephesians 4:2, I want you to see it. We have to break all agreements. What does he say? Read.

Wherefore putting away lying? Why? Because if I if I engage in line, I’m in agreement with the father of that’s how we give him access. Speak every man the truth with his neighbor. Read, for we are members one of another.

Watch the next verse. Read. Be angry and sin not. Let not the sun go down on your wrath. You can be angry, but if your anger leads you into prolonged anger, prolonged grudges, you give, you bestow a gift for the enemy to come into your life.

Be angry and learn how to overcome the situation. Address the situation as soon as you can so you won’t get infected. Watch the last verse 27. Read, neither give place to the devil. You know what that means?

Don’t give him a foothold. Agreement gives him a place in your home, in your life, in your mind, in your family. So the scriptures admonishes the believer to break all agreements. If I fornicate, I enter into an agreement by my actions. Jesus has forgiven all sins.

But I bestow a right, not a right, but I give him a passcode into my life. And so today we want to break all agreements. This is part of cleansing. Anytime you come before God, it is necessary to cleanse your spirit, to cleanse your soul so that you can be a receiver of the things that he wants for your life. when the mind is dirty because we’ve given him access through conversation, through something I watched on television that is against God.

But I set the wicked thing before me and I laughed and I enjoyed it. When the movie’s over, I’m in alignment. And now what what was ever on that thing, what spirit it was, it has access to me. I gave it alignment. Some people say, “I can watch it.

It doesn’t bother me.” That means you’ve gotten numb to it. You’ve become desensitized because the closer you get to his purity, when you see it, it irritates. It agitates you. You say, “I can’t have that in my life. I don’t want it blocking because it creates a shadow here and a blind spot there and a dullness there and you’re not as pure anymore.

And we’re only doing it for entertainment.” It becomes an idol or either entertainment becomes the idol. whatever it is that’s being exalted above the knowledge of God. And if Satan can’t stop you, which he can’t say it, he can’t stop us, you he will then try to corrupt us where we stop ourselves. This is precisely what he did to the children of Israel. A false prophet named Balam was hired to curse the children of Israel. And every time he went out to curse them, blessings came out of his mouth.

You can’t curse what God has blessed. Say it. You can’t curse what God has blessed. Every time he tried to curse them, blessing came out of his mouth. So he went back with the ne the second strategy.

It was to introduce them to the women of Moab and to cause them to seduce them. So they would fornicate and corrupt themselves with fornication and with the idols of the ladies of Moab. And they went in, they fornicated, and they began to idol worship. They corrupted themselves and they suffered a severe loss. And God said, “This is Satan’s strategy in this season because he cannot stop you, but he wants you to corrupt yourself by coming into an agreement with dark things.

But today, God has called us to renounce. To renounce. Jesus died on the cross and he defeated Satan. He rebuked the devour. And God wants you to come into an agreement with that.

You got to say, every day of your life, I’m in agreement with the fact that Satan is defeated and the devourer is rebuked. I come into an agreement with God’s hatred of the carnal mind. I say that every day. I’m giving you all insight on how to do this thing. See, sometimes you need to know how to operate in the kingdom.

Say, “Kingdom operators, I’m a kingdom operator. I want to teach you how to operate the power of the kingdom.” Every day of my life, I I say, “God, I thank you for your hatred of the carnal mind, and I’m in agreement with that hatred. So let your hatred for the carnal mind rest on me and let it move through me and destroy anything that’s carnal in my life. Pray that prayer. I say, “God, I thank you for your defeat of Satan, and I’m in agreement with Satan’s defeat.

So let your hatred of Satan rest on me. And let the rebuke of the devil rest on me. So when I step into a room, let there be power on me that hates the devil and that’s rebuking him without me opening up my mouth. Can anybody come into an agreement with that kind of prayer? That’s what I’m talking about.

You got to come into an alignment with the rebuke of the devourer because there’s some things devouring your money. There’s some spirit devouring things that God has produced in your life. Something’s trying to devour your health.

But Jesus has rebuked the devourer. But it won’t work in your life until you come into agreement. Say it right now. I’m in agreement with God’s hatred of the carnal mind. I’m in agreement with the rebuke of the devourer.

I’m in agreement with God’s hatred against Satan and the demonic kingdom. May this hatred against Satan rest on me and destroy his power in my everyday life. I’m in agreement.

Amen. Amen. Oh yes. That’s what it looks like when you’re in agreement. It’s a rebuke.

So repeat after me. I renounce water spirits. Marine spirits, mermaid spirits, baptism into the demonic kingdom, demonic seals, genetic and ancestral curses, Moby Dick spirits, Jezebel, witchcraft, Ahab spirits, sexual sins, masturbation, exhibitionist spirits, Every foul unclean spirit that has attached itself to my bloodline, I renounce it in the name of the most high God. I reject it and I command it to loose me in Jesus’ name by the power of God’s purity, by the power of God’s holiness. Let God’s holiness burn in my mind in Jesus name.

Amen. Oh, somebody praise him right there. I tell you, you pray prayers like that every day, something will break off of your life. Something will break off of your life. If you prayers like that every day, something will break off of your life.

Somebody say, “I hate the devil.” Come on. I hate demonic spirits. I renounce I renounce lion spirits, fake spirits, hypocritical spirits, fraudulent spirits, pseudo spirits, false ways, false doctrines, every deception, every lie. I declare the truth. Let it burn in my mind and drive out the lie.

Go in Jesus name. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Something’s going to break in this house.

Yes it is. You can’t keep praying these kind of prayers without something breaking. In the name of Jesus. Come on. I renounce every spirit of death, every dying spirit, every spirit of sickness and disease, every spirit of infirmity, every kind of spirit of decay, corruption, premature death.

I renounce it. I renounce it. I declare life, life ever more. life from God against death, against premature death, against sickness, against disease, against spirit of infirmity. I declare life. I break your power.

I command death to bagg up in Jesus’ name. Go. Oh, we ready to rumble. This is about warfare. This is about kingdom operating.

We’re operating the power of the kingdom. We’re not just going to preach it. We going to operate it. We going to do it in the name of the Lord. In the name of Jesus, I renounce grave spirits, grave clothing, decay, and corruption of the grave.

I renounce every spirit of sabotage, containment, dark spirit that holds me back. Python spirit, I renounce it. B constricting spirits that try to contain me. I declare freedom that’s in Jesus. Liberation, advancement, upward mobility.

I declare the power to soar against every containment spirit. I break that yoke off of my bloodline. I command the grave clothes, the grave spirit to break off of my life and I declare liberty go in Jesus name. I wish somebody praying another tongue as the spirit gave them others. I is there an utterance in the house in your belly somewhere?

Then let it come out of your belly right now and pray in the Holy Ghost and build yourself up on your most holy faith by praying in the Holy Ghost right now and speak mysteries. Speak your future. Speak tomorrow. God will give you revelation of what’s going to happen tomorrow. Let it come out.

Get rid of that same dry tongue. Let it come out of the depth of your belly. God wants to give somebody a new tongue. They gather together and God they got filled with the Holy Ghost. The second time, the third time, there’s a fresh wind in the house.

There’s a fresh move of God. I dare you to let God give you glossia. Oh, bye. My my We’re pushing in the spirit is what we’re doing, saints. We’re pushing in the spirit.

This is how I fight my battles. We have to first win them in the spirit before we go to the meeting. We have to win them in the spirit before we go out in the natural. Paul, I know. Jesus, I know.

But you got to be known in the world, in the heavenly world. And you’re only known when you get up into that realm and start making some noise and start challenging powers of darkness. You got to make your presence known in the heavens. Come on. Then then the devil will respect your territory cuz he knows you know how to cast him out.

Say, “I renounce blindness of the mind, blindness of the heart. physical blindness, glaucomia, eye disease, brain damage, Alzheimer’s, natural and spiritual, memory loss, thought theft, thought perversion, uncircumcism of the mind, uncircumcism of the heart. I renounce every heavy spirit that blinds me from seeing the truth. You blind spirit, I renounce you. I command you to go with the light of God, with discernment, with the burning eyes of God, with the judgment of God. I command the lie.

May God’s heavy hand rest on this house. I declare miracles for those that will believe it. I declare miracles for those that will trust God. May the miraculous break out in this house for those that have faith. In the name of the Lord, I declare power.

Oh, somebody shout, “Power, power, power, power, power to live right. Power to rebuke the devil. Authority over Satan is on my life.” Say, “It’s on my life.” The power is on my life. The power is on my life now. May the gift of faith rest on this house.

May there be supernatural faith that rest on us to believe the truth that we need to believe in this season of our life. Supernatural faith. Let it rest on us now.

So, you don’t have to do nothing in your own strength. You got to put on Christ. Can’t you see what I’m doing? I’m just showing you how to put Christ on. I put him on every day fully inside and out.

He didn’t ask us to do it on our own. He said, “Put me on.” Glory to his name. Father, we worship you. I want to wear Christ every day. You put on his faith.

You put on his power. You put on his healing. Gifts of healing. Oo. May the gifts of healing rest on us now in the name of Jesus.

May somebody have faith for the gift of healing to rest on us and to begin to operate in their life right now in the name of the Lord. May gifts of healing rest on us and operate for those that can believe. Oh God, you’re putting Christ on. It’s his healing. We don’t beg him for healing.

We put on healing and we operate. Whatever you need, it doesn’t matter if you’re weak or strong. Put on Christ and everybody’s strong. May the gift of the apostle rest on this house. or the grace of the apostle I should say rest on this house that’s him that’s how I walk in apostolic power I I believe God for the grace of the apostle to rest on it’s a mantle it’s not a doctrine that you study all it’s something that has to come on you glory to his name may the grace of the prophet rest on me what prophet Jesus is the only prophet may the grace of the prophet of Jesus, rest on me now. There’s only one prophet.

There’s only one apostle. There’s only one pastor. There’s only one evangelist. There’s only one teacher. His name is Jesus.

But let his grace rest on us. Oh God, if you get the grace, you can walk in the power. If you get the grace, you can walk in that mantle. Glory to his name. God, we worship you.

What grace do you want on your life is what this is about. What grace do you need operating on your life? You receive it in Christ Jesus in your prayer time. This is what I do in my prayer time. Just showing you it out here.

When you come out of the prayer closet, you come out another person. You’re not in there begging God for nothing. You’re in there beholding him and putting him on. Glory to his name. Glory.

We almost there. Glory to his name. Glory to his name. Hallelujah. Glory to his name.

Thank you, Father. God, I love you so much. Jesus, I love you so much. You’re the only entity that can satisfy my soul. I find no pleasure if you’re not in it.

I don’t care what it is. I can’t find pleasure unless you’re in it. I can’t find peace unless you’re in it. This is why I would spend time with you first so I can deal with whatever’s happening in society. I need you.

I need you. Oh, I need you every hour. I need you. Glory to your name. Glory to your name.

May your spirit resurrect in me. May your spirit of love resurrect in me and abound in its operation in the name of Jesus. And here’s one I want to mediate. May your spirit of self-mastery, catch me now, your spirit of selfmastery resurrect in me. Say it.

May your spirit of selfmastery resurrected me and abound in operation. Let me tell you what selfmastery is. Jesus mastered himself. Incratia is the Greek which means selfgovernance. He was able to govern his emotions, his life, where he should go, where he should not go.

He could discipline himself. Selfmastery creates a very disciplined person where you can do the things you ought to. And God said in the next season of your life, you’re going to need the ability to master yourself. You’re going to need discipline on another level.

But you can’t do it with just human discipline. He says, “I’ll let my spirit of self, the selfmastery that I use, I’ll resurrect in you and allow my spirit to help you govern yourself.” Let me show you how it works. I learned this years ago after I would pour out in ministry and deplete myself and virtue would leave me. Right after that, I noticed that my thought life would be reaching for things to replenish. There was a consciousness that I was empty.

And I learned that I need to replenish myself. But before I understood how to handle those moments, I noticed my thought life was strange. If I saw food, it seems to be like I really needed it a lot. It wasn’t the food. It was me trying to replenish my spirit.

So the tendency would be to overindulge because my spirit was empty. whatever I was doing in those moments, it would it would be exaggerated because I was trying to replenish something that was spiritual. And then the Lord said to me, “Son, after you pour out like that, that’s how a lot of preachers fall too, by the way. They fall after they deplete themselves and their spirit is reaching out to replenish and it sees the wrong thing sometimes and it takes in the wrong thing to replenish their spirit with something in the flesh. This is why you pray for ministers after they pour out.

But the Lord told me that what you need to do is you need my selfmastery. So when you’re done, you need to get a thought from me about your thoughts. See, Holy Spirit will help you see how you think. Holy Spirit will help you watch yourself. Some people just function in life.

They don’t wash themselves. They just be functional. They don’t know why they do what they do. No introspection. And they don’t know themselves.

They just function. But when you say, “Holy Spirit, I want your spirit of mastery to resurrect in me.” Then he’ll come there and he’ll see you functioning. And then he’ll illuminate you and let you see how you’re functioning. He’ll help you watch yourself. This is what I do.

I say, “Lord, what do you think about my thoughts?” Then he’ll tell me his thoughts about my thoughts. Lord, what do you think about the way I’m moving right now? He’ll tell me his thoughts about my behavior. And then he’ll say, I don’t like that or I like that or I think you should do it this way. And when I embrace his thoughts about my thoughts, his thoughts about my behavior, then his thoughts help me govern myself.

Did anybody hear what I just said? The key to selfmastery is to find out what God thinks about your thoughts, what God thinks about your behavior, what God thinks about what you’re doing and what you’re not doing. And soon as you get that, whatever he says, you grab those thoughts and those thoughts will help you master yourself. You just try to master yourself, you’re not operating with the spirit of his spirit of of self-control.

But today, God wants you to embrace the spirit of self-control. And during the course of the day, you’re going to stop and say, “Holy Spirit, what do you think about the way I’ve been thinking for the last half an hour?” And if you ask him that question, he’s going to tell you. Then if you take his thought, cuz you ain’t taking nobody else’s thought, so you might as well ask him. If you take his thought, you can use it to master yourself. I do that all the time in the middle of the day.

What do you think about what I was thinking the last five minutes? Is that what you think about my thoughts? Well, give me your thought. I’ll take it and then I’ll make the adjustment. Lift those hands to him.

Everybody stand to your feet right there. Stand to your feet. I want to mediate the spirit of selfmastery to you right now so you can begin to ask God. How many are willing to ask God what he thinks about your thoughts? You you serious about it?

I mean, it don’t matter what you’re doing. If you just get an empty feeling, say, “God, what do you think about my thoughts and my behavior right now?” Don’t try to figure out yourself what you think he thinks. Ask him whatever he tells you. Use that thought and it will govern your situation. We’re getting ready to see change in this room right now.

You do this, you’re you’re going to see a new discipline come on your life. I was eating I was eating some things. I said, Lord, what you think about me eating this for real? I’m serious. He said, you know, why you eating it?

Cuz you should have prayed and filled your spirit and now you’re trying to consume something in the flesh cuz you didn’t feel like praying. I said, you’re right, Lord. You got me. You got me.

So, what I’m supposed to do now Go get your spirit together. That’s what you need to do now. And if I receive that thought, it gives me power to master the moment. I can say, “I’m done.” And then people say, “Oh, he’s disciplined.” No, he’s disciplined. He’s disciplined.

Holy Spirit has thoughts about all of your thoughts. And he has thoughts about all of your ways, too. You do something, you say, “Holy Spirit, what do you think about the way I did it?” He goes, “I don’t like the way you did it. You had nasty spirit. That wasn’t my spirit the way you did it.

You should have did it with the spirit of love.” You say, “Yes, take the spirit of love and now go fix it.” Selfmastery. Holy Spirit comes alongside to aid us. He ain’t just a jump in a shout of speaking in tongues. He comes for selfmastery. And in this end time, in order for you to go to the next place, you’re going to have to master your propensities.

That means your leanings. You’re going to master your proclivities. You’re going to have to master your desires, your freedoms. because this is a day of precision. Father, thank you. God, how do you receive something?

You just start thanking him for it. Woo! That’s how you receive. Say, “Lord, I thank you for that the spirit of self-control is resurrected in me right now.” Woo! Your spirit of self-control, not my spirit, the fruit of your spirit.

May the fruit of the spirit of self-control resurrect in me right now in the name of Jesus. And I thank you for the resurrection of your self-control in my spirit, man. To the point where it bears fruit in my life to the point where I can ask you about my thoughts and you’ll tell me. And your thoughts will help me govern myself. And I will become more disciplined in this next season.

I want you to thank God for the resurrection of Jesus Christ in your spirit. Thank him right now for the resurrection of Jesus in your spirit. Thank him. Yes. Thank him.

Thank him for the resurrection of Jesus in your spirit. Resurrection of Jesus as self-control. That’s the key though. Ask self-control. Ask.

You got to hang with it for a minute. So you guys academic people, y’all do it in your head and you think you’re done. You got to do it till you feel something in your heart. You got to keep saying it until something rises in you. It’s not just a concept.

He’s a person. Do you feel him rising in you yet? Well, you keep thanking him until something rises on the inside. That’s why prayer takes a long time. You got to stay in there until he moves in your life.

Can we give God a little more time to thank him for the rise of selfmastery in our spirit man? In the name of the Lord, I’m getting ready to master my life. I’m getting ready to master my future. I’m getting ready to master my emotions. I’m getting ready to master my world because the master is rising in me right now.

Yes, he is. and his thoughts will give me the ability to govern myself. I’m becoming more disciplined. I thank you for the discipline that’s coming by faith. I’m going to discipline my eating habits. I’m going to discipline my body.

I’m going to discipline my health, my exercising. I’m going to discipline my life. I’m going to discipline my study habits. Yes, I am. I’m going to discipline my work life balance, if that’s such a thing.

I’m going to discipline discipline discipline. I’m going to discipline my world. Yes, I’m going to speak just enough, not too much. I’m going to speak when it’s time. I’m going discipline my time.

I will be known by my discipline and I’m going to hit the target and I’m going to get the job done cuz God says I don’t have much time. God says you don’t have much time as you think you have. You don’t have time to start over again. You don’t have time to do over again. He says you got to get it right the first time.

So, I’m declaring the resurrection of the disciplined one on the inside of your life. believe your God right now and thank him for it in Jesus mighty name. Now clap your hands over your people and shout unto God. Yes. Yes. Yes.

Yes. We’re going to ask the school teachers to come in just a moment and the and the children in just a moment. Just a moment. Uh but before we do, sit down again. Sorry.

Is is Brie Willer in the house? I mean, Brie Armstrong, I’m sorry. She just left. Is Jessica uh Willer in the house? Tell her to come in for a minute.

I want to speak into her life real quick. I wish Brie was here. This one is for her, too. She She If she’s in the building, she need to get up in here, right? There’s Jessica.

How are you? Come on up here. Just stand right here. I know you’ve been with the kids and all that, but the Lord gave me something for you. Stand right there.

That’s fine. Come here, Bri. You got twin prophecies for you, too. Why don’t you step in the middle? Come over here.

Slide over a little more, Jessica. This way. Yeah. Y’all stand next to each other. There you go.

Really? I hear the Holy Ghost. Hear the spirit of the Lord saying that in this time in your life, he must to awaken you to a teaching a teaching ministry beyond this stuff we’re doing here. A very very strong teaching ministry. Maybe even a call to the ascension gift as a teacher.

But the kind of teaching that I see in the Holy Ghost comes from revelation. There’s a fire that God wants to burn in you. Remember when the men walked with Jesus on the road to Emmas after his resurrection? They didn’t know who he was. You guys are teachers, you know that story, right?

After Jesus finished talking, they said, “Didn’t our hearts burn within us?” As he spoke along the way, there’s a revelation grace that God wants to release on your life. So your teaching is not just letter, but your teaching is alive, animated, lifegiving. And God wants to use you to root people in the things of God to create permanency. And God wants you to ex help people get established not because of academic verses and chapter. They can get that on the internet, social media.

But there is an anointing that’s going to come that’s going to activate and it’s a fervent fire that needs to burn on the inside of you. But there are things that have happened to both of you all to where you haven’t fully released the fire inside of you because of things that haven’t been permanent. And you both have longed for permanency and for things to be established and things not to be wishy-washy up and down so you can relax and be established. And you’ve longed for that in your own life, but God’s going to cause you to cause it to happen in other people’s lives.

But there are people that want permanence. There are people that want things they can depend on, things that will be there when they come. And God wants to use the both of you all through the word of the Lord to create a sense of permanency in people’s life by establishing truth that will not change. You’re going to help people build their life upon the rock, which is Christ Jesus.

But in order for this fire to burn in you, there’s a shift that has to take place in your life. You’re going to have to let down the guards and you’re going to have to let down your structure for you’ve created your own sense of permanency because this is what you needed. But God says he wants to create a sense of stability inside of you. He wants you to rely on him for stability. He wants you to trust him for your future, your past, your present on another level.

Because if you do so, you get revelation about how he is your stability. Then there’s going to be a fire that’s going to be kindled inside of you. And I’m declaring the kindling of that fire even right now in the name of the Lord. And part of that fire starts with a fervent love. And this is where you’ve been kind of wishy-washy about.

You know the love of God. You believe the love of God. You teach the love of God.

But the love of God will make you uncomfortable. God’s going to have you love people that don’t love you. God’s going to have you reach to people that are not reaching to you. God’s going to have you reach to people that have even done you wrong sometime.

But God said if you let his love, that’s going to be permanent. If you let his love flow through you, you’ll burn forever and God will secure you in his love. The very love that you give others, God will give back to you a hundred times over in the name of the Lord. So he says if you can trust his love for you and give that love away, the fire will never go out in your life. Everything is about love.

And you’ve had some people in your past that have done you wrong and some things that have happened and you’ve put borders around yourself. But God says your new protection is the love of God. So, I’m declaring a revelation of the love of God right now. This is the revelation he wants you to get. The breath, the depth, the height of his love.

And when that love hits you, it’s going to compel you. There’s going to be a ferveny in you that you’re going to go out and you’re going to teach from the hot hearts, a fervent heart. And God’s going to do miracles in your teaching. And I see God bringing you up. And if you just study the things that I’ve studied, things that I preached here in this church, if you study the revelation that I preach here, and you present it in a teaching format, God’s going to lift you up and make you a teacher to the body of Christ.

And he’s going to send you to a generation that needs stability. Are you willing to receive this in the name of the Lord? In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I declare the rise of two teachers in the ascension gifts on a very very high level in God.

But nothing happens in without a burning love. So I declare their hearts be set on fire in this very moment. That they recognize how much God loves them to the degree that they lose a sense of self-preservation. They lose a sense of self-preservation. They trust God cuz they can’t trust anybody else.

Satan, the Lord rebuke you in Jesus name. You will not shut them down. You will not cause instability of their past to allow them not to embrace what God is doing right now. And God’s going to make you one of the most stable people that people have in their life. God’s going to cause you to be a solid rock for so many people.

And you’re going to produce after your own kind. and you’re going to raise up children and raise up adults and raise up young adults wherever he sends you and stabilize unstable environments. He says you shall be the stabilizer in chaotic times in the name of the Lord. I declare that fire on your heart right now. The love of God, let it burn. Let it burn.

Let it burn. May God’s love burn like it has never burned before. May the may the mantle of the teacher come upon you. There’s only one teacher. His name is Jesus.

May that mantle come upon you now. Let’s give the Lord a praise for these two teachers that have come in the house. Hallelujah. Oh, hallelujah. And if you’re a teacher in the kingdom of God, you need to receive that and start walking in love and God will raise you to great heights.

Nobody needs an academic dead teacher. We need a teacher with love for students. A teacher with love for God. When there’s passion for God, it makes your message come alive. I want all the children to come up now in the name of the Lord who want us to pray for them.

And we’re going to get ready to dismiss. All the children who are coming for prayer. Thank you father. Thank you father. Glory to God in the highest.

All the children Got a lot of children in this church, huh? And I’m going to ask if you’re an educator, please come and stand too behind them. All the educators, bless you. We want all the educators to come too. Thank you, Father, for all of the students and all of the educators.

We’ll wait. Make room for the ones that are yet still coming. While we’re waiting for them to come, I want to thank God for what happened here last week. Um there was incredible evangelistic outpouring uh last week and I was so proud of Elder Drew and Prophetist Tea and so proud of Mikella and her entire team and I sit home and watch the whole thing after I got out of church or after I got home. I was somewhere else preaching.

When I got back, I was watching the entire thing and I’m sitting there, they singing all them old school songs and I’m I was having church right with him. Living he loved me. I was ready to go and uh it was really invigorating for me to see how organized they were. The deacons did an outstanding job in taking care of all the baptisms. I mean, it was just beautiful.

I was watching everything and uh saw some people get baptized and I was a little surprised that they got baptized, but uh it was just wonderful to see God do the things he did. Wonderful. So, let’s thank God for Elder Drew and Prophetist Tea Gangs over there. Excellent job. Excellent job.

And also Mikaella who’s not here today, but we thank God for their leadership. For the first time in this church, maybe for the first time, it feels like evangelism has risen to the same level of the rest of the ascension gifts. And this is what we’ve been waiting on for a long time where all five ascension gifts are functional in their own right. Now you’re going to see power hit this church. We’re clicking on all cylinders when that happens.

All right. We want to pray for these children and for the educators. Um my prayer is first of all that all of you would be safe uh all year long. That there would be no uh shootings at your school and no one would uh you know be injured in any kind of way. We’re also going to be praying that learning takes place cuz that’s the reason we go to school.

We go to school to learn and that you would become brilliant in your understanding of the subjects. You would master your subjects and you would be inspired to go on into a profession and become an expert. Everybody say experts in the house. This is what we need in the kingdom. Brilliant experts in a certain area that can contribute to the whole of society.

We need some people to be experts in the medical profession, some to be expert in the engineering area, some to be expert in whatever area it may be uh the legal area. some to be expert even with skilled trades if that’s where it is. But I want everybody to have an expertise. Say everybody expertise. I pray God you would give them understanding of why why they’re at school and so they’re learning the fundamentals today for what they’re going to do on tomorrow. And I pray that each educator here would fall in love with all of their students because teaching doesn’t take place until there’s a heart for the student who’s trying to learn.

Love will cause you to be able to navigate their need and know how to get the message to them. Cuz every child is not the same and they don’t learn the same. But if you care enough, you’ll find out how to unlock them.

But if you don’t care, if teachers don’t care, they need to quit and retire. That’s really my position. And today I don’t care up here, I need to quit and retire because you can’t minister life if you don’t care. So we pray that all the educators here pray for their kids, love those children, and will find ways to impart the truth to them. because I believe everybody can learn. All you need is the right instructor.

Now, we also got to pray for the educators because they they they’re some of them are called to make bricks without straw almost. They they they they have schools that don’t provide everything they need. And so, we have to pray that that God would give them some support. And maybe some churches need to adopt some of these schools and help with supplies and all of those kinds of things so that they can have the tools they need. And also sometimes they need more staff in the classroom cuz the kids is doing you know all kinds of things while you’re trying to teach and the teacher should not have to be a disciplinary and an educator at the same time.

So, there are a lot of barriers to this thing called education, but we want to offer it up to the Lord. Amen. Are you all ready to pray? Y’all want to join me in prayer? Let’s stretch forth your hands this way.

Father, in the most high name of Jesus, we first of all bring all of these children to you, the young ones and the teenagers and the high schoolers. we and all that are here. We bring them before your throne right now. And God, you know each one of them by name. And we’re asking God that you would have a special plan for each. I know you have a special plan, but you would make that plan known to the parents and make it known to the teachers, the educators what God is trying to do in the life of these children.

They would not just be treated any kind of way. But I pray for revelation on each child and how they are bent. Or you said train a child in the way should go and so they will be trained according to their bending and their leaning. Give the teacher educators that kind of insight in the name of the Lord. I pray that you would open up their understanding.

These little ones and these teachers these I mean these students open up their heart to hear. You gave Solomon a hearing heart. You gave him understanding. And I pray for understanding for each person here. Break that yoke off of their mind.

Whatever is hindering them from seeing and understanding, we pray there would be an enlightenment that would take place. We pray for an enlightenment in their souls and in their minds where they would be able to absorb and learn all that is set before them. And we pray for that they would become experts in their field. you would put them on a track and they would be successful and they would begin to love learning and grow as a result of the things that they learn in the name of the Lord. We pray for everyone of their safety. We pray that no harm would come to them this year.

We declare the blood of Jesus over them right now over their travel back and forth and even while they’re in the school that there would be no ruckus in the school that would discourage them. there would be no violence in the school that would deter them, but there would be a peaceful learning environment. We pray for a peaceful learning environment for all of these children in the name of the Lord. We pray against distractions that would come, girlfriends and boyfriends and all other kind of things sometimes that might distract them from their learning. We pray, oh God, that wisdom would be a part of their life and somebody would gently guide them through some of these difficult years if they’re teenagers, but they would not be distracted and no one would end up with child before their time. In the name of the Lord, we pray against all of those kinds of disruptions and distractions in the name of the Lord.

There would be no kind of sexual activity at a young age messing with these K children with same-sex uh activity and all of the other things that happen in the school. We declare purity over their life now in the name of the Lord. Purity and protection of their mind. And they would not be kids get sending them pictures of naked their nakedness through their phones and all of those kinds of things, things that they have access to. God, shut it down in the name of the Lord.

Cause a educator to see it and shut it down. Cause a parent to discern it and shut it down. Don’t allow these kids to be corrupted by so many things that they have access to. In the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for the educators. We pray for the parents.

And we command blessing on this 2026 27 school year. In the name of the Lord, we declare blessing upon this 26 27 school year. In the name of the Lord, let there be breakthrough. Let there be increase. Let there be abundance in their life.

Let there be supernatural growth. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

Amen. Amen. Let’s thank God for the kids. They thank God for the educators. Thank you for your service.

Embassy family, as we continue to receive guests from across the body of Christ, we want to make sure we honor our visiting leaders with excellence and proper protocol. If you are inviting or aware of a senior pastor, overseer, bishop, apostle, dignitary, or other ministry leader who will be joining us for Sunday worship, please let our office know in advance.

You may do so by completing the guest form on our website located in the footer of the website homepage or by contacting the office directly. If they arrive the same day, please have them sign the guest book and indicate their leadership role. This will help make Bishop aware so that he may properly acknowledge and honor them from the pull pit. Thank you for helping us receive our guest with order, warmth, and excellence.
