And you were acquitted by his one offering. And that one offering was for the whole world, ladies and gentlemen. And so this is why we have to tell people your your charges have been dropped if you believe. That’s the good news. You got to tell everybody, listen, your charges have been dropped. Now, you cannot appropriate that unless you believe.
And so Paul is saying, “We’re saved by grace.” And and then uh he he he got concerned about the Antonians uh way of thinking and concluding. And these are uh those who would conclude then cuz he said at the end of chapter 5 he said where sin abound grace did much more abound. He’s so he he’s so powerfully uh articulating the power of grace and he says I don’t care what kind of sin it is if it grows then grace is better than sin. It’s more powerful than sin. There is no sin that’s greater than the grace is what he’s actually saying.
But then the antinoians may believe that well since you’re saying if sin abound grace did much more abound then maybe we should keep sinning because the more we sin the more grace we’re going to get. You know you got always somebody in the crowd that that that know what you mean but just trying to find a way to do what they really want to do. They’re just revealing their heart.
But Paul obliges that way of thinking and he says, “Let me answer them too.” So he starts out chapter number six and verse one by saying, read it again. Chapter 6 verse one. What does he say? Read. He says, “What shall we say then?
Shall we continue in sin?” So he’s answering them really. Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? What does he say? God forbid. How shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?
Then he said, “Let me give you some more theology.” He says, “Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death.” So he’s talking about the death of Jesus, which I’m going to amplify. He says, “Therefore, we are buried with him by baptism into death like Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the father. Even so, we also should walk in the newness of life.” And so, he says, “Listen here. I need you all to know that grace is twofold. Grace is not just to forgive sin.
Grace is also empowerment to to to rise and overcome sin. And some only see the grace of God as just uh a forgiveness clause. And that’s why you can sin and say there’ll be grace. That’s true.
But if you really have the grace of God, it’s going to give you the ability to rise up above the thing that has you bound in your life. Now notice what he says. So, and then he begins to talk about the death. You were baptized into his death.
So, he’s using all of these illustrations. What does he mean by being baptized into the death of Jesus? Well, death means separation. Say it. Death means separation.
When my uh late father transitioned several years ago, because I’m Hugh Jr., uh I received phone calls from a number of people uh who were still trying to do business with him. and they were trying to do business, different kinds of businesses and uh they were trying to do business and this one wanted this and this one wanted that and some even were a little iate on the call and I just let them have their peace and when they finished I said he transitioned and as soon as I said I said oh and they bagged up and it was the end of all of the discussion no rebuttal nothing because when a person transitions or death, it separates them and it relieves them of all obligation that was connected to the former life. So it doesn’t matter. Do you see what I’m trying to say? It doesn’t matter what you owe. Once you transition on the other side, ain’t nobody coming to heaven asking you about no car.
Nobody coming to heaven asking you about anything you owe because death separates you from all obligation to the former existence. There is nothing that you can bring back on that person. The same way with a person who gets married. We marry until death does us part. And that simply means there no more marriage responsibility to someone you were married to once one transitions because death severs responsibility and accountability and opportunity.
Death is the dividing line. So as so many of us as were baptized into Christ were baptized unto his death being buried with him in baptism. So everything that I used to be on that side has no responsibility. I have no obligation. I have no opportunity.
I have no connection. WE’VE Been Divorced. Death Has Separated US. I’M ON The Other Side Now.
SO, I can’t continue in sin because I’ve been separated by the law of sin through death. Are you hearing me? The devil has no authority over me anymore. A husband has authority over a wife as long as they live and they’re married.
But once they are not married, he has no authority over them. And sin has no more authority over you. The devil has no more authority over you because you’ve been baptized into Christ. And death has separated you from the authority that once used to rule your life. It can no longer rule your life Because You’VE Been Born Again.
Somebody say, “Amen. I’ve been born again. I’ve been born again. I’ve been baptized unto his death.” Baptized unto his death. And you don’t want to be baptized. Some do want to be baptized, but you need to be separated from sin.
Just like the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt, they God knew the way to get to the promised land. He knew he knows coordinates, but he says, “Go by the way of the Red Sea.” And so he went by the way of the Red Sea. Open up the sea for Moses and he got in the sea and they went through.
But then here come the 600 choice chariots from Pharaoh’s army to bring them back into Egypt. But God closed the sea up on them. And he says, “These enemies you’ll never see again.” What am I trying to say? When you go through the baptism, there are demons and there are enemies that have been pursuing your life.
But once you die, glory to God. Once you die and once you deal with the death, God will close that thing up on them. That chapter is over. They have no legal right to your life anymore. Who’s been baptized in here? who’s been baptized into Christ.
Into Christ. Into Christ. Now that we’re on the other side, we’re free. We’s free now. We’s free now, master. We free now.
We can do what we want to do. No, no, no, no. Now we can worship the Lord. You got to understand, he didn’t free you to do what you want to do. He freed you so you can worship God because you couldn’t worship God when you were on the other side because sin had us bound.
Sin had a mind messed up. What is sin? Sin means missing the mark or transgressing the law. Missing the mark. What mark? the mark of what you were created to be.
The mark of what he designed for you. The mark was his will for your life. And as long as you’re in sin, you going to miss that target. I don’t care how hard you try while you’re in sin, you can never fulfill God’s purpose for your life. And isn’t it a tragedy to be successful at the wrong thing?
Isn’t it isn’t it isn’t it a shame to be successful at something and people calling your name over something you were never designed to do? It’s a shame to be great at something that was not your purpose or your calling. And that’s where a lot of people live. They live in a success that’s not ordained by God. So it’s not success at all.
It’s just success to the people who are shallow in their understanding. But if you really understand what real meaning and real success is, it’s fulfilling the purpose in which you were created. And you cannot do that while you are in sin because sin keeps you bound and keep you away from that purpose.
But once you step in baptism and get divorced from sin, he frees you to worship. He frees you to praise. He frees you to walk in purpose. He frees you to walk in destiny. That’s why some people can’t even praise God.
Sin can have your hands heavy. Sin can make you fall asleep in church. Sin can have you so messed up where you don’t even want to be here. Sometimes the glory can get so strong that you’ll run out of here cuz sin say we can’t handle that.
But when you get set free, there’s a praise that will break out in your spirit. Somebody say, “I’m free to worship and to do his will.” That’s why he sets us free. He sets us free to worship and to do his will. I’ve been pastoring long enough to know that you can’t do his will if you’re bound. So all these churches where people are bound, they’re not doing the will of the Lord because Jesus made it clear if you going to come after me, the first thing you got to do is deny yourself. Then he said, “You got to take up your cross, which represents death again.” Then he said, “You can follow me.” So if you’re not if you haven’t done those things, you are not following him.
You might be in the church, but you’re not following him. And what sense does it make to be in the church if I’m not following him? That’s what you call dead religion. That’s what you call boring church. I need a church of ministers who all have their own cross.
Ain’t no sense in me asking for your cross and no sense of you asking for my cross. I need my own cross with that says I am crucified with Christ. Nevertheless, I live NOT I But CHRIST Lives in me. And the life I live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the son of God who loved me and gave himself for me. If I carry my cross, I can walk in purpose.
One of the reasons that some people have not walked in purpose because they haven’t carried their cross. There has to be a death. We must identify with his death. That’s what sets us free. You can go through all the deliverance services you want.
This don’t have nothing to do with the devil. You can cast the devil out, but if you don’t die, the devil’s coming right back. Hello. I’m back. And I got my buddies with me. Come on, somebody.
I need you to understand the death of Jesus Christ was meant to create a reality for the believer where there is no curse, there’s no condemnation, and there is no bondage to Satan. I’m going to say it again. The death of Jesus Christ was intended to create this gospel reality. A people who walk in a world where there is no curse, there is no condemnation and a world where there is no addiction, no bondage because I am not under the authority of sin. I have been separated from the taskmaster of sin. NO BONDAGE IN MY LIFE. Doesn’t mean I won’t sin, but it means I’m not a slave to sin.
I’m not under the bondage of sin. You can’t hold me if I want to go. Some people are sinning because they want to sin. Not that they have to sin. They just want to sin cuz they like what they’re doing.
But the moment they stop liking what they’re doing, they can break out because they were never under the bondage because he set you free from bondage. No curse, no condemnation, no bondage. Say it. No curse, no condemnation, no bondage. Say it again.
No curse, no condemnation, no bondage. One more time. NO CURSE, NO CONDEMNATION, no bondage. Now clap your hands there and give him a praise. Satan has been defeated by the death of Jesus Christ.
That’s the gospel reality where he is a defeated foe. And that’s what the death actually means. He defeated him in our life. John 16:11 really quick. John 16:11 John 16 what does it say of judgment because the prince of this world is when Jesus died it judged the prince of this world and so as a pastor I’m watching so many people live in bondage live with condemnation live with curses when the gospel has come to free them from that and I said, “God, what’s the problem?” He says, “We need a priesthood that can appropriate this gospel in their life.” That’s the next step for the church.
No addiction. Doesn’t matter what the addiction was. I’ve been separated from it. Oh, no pornography addiction, no sexual addiction, no food addictions, no people addictions, no idol or fame addictions, no self addictions. When you’re set free, ladies and gentlemen, you can see Jesus now.
Addictions blind the mind, blind the heart, keep you confounded with so much junk that it’s hard to worship. Now, I told you you can be set free and voluntarily recommmit yourself to the master. You have individuals who have been extricated from prison after 30 years of serving and all of that and choose to go back because they have been institutionalized and they find it easier on the inside. I know somebody who literally got out, spent years in there. He got out and he wanted to go back and he did a crime and went back on purpose because he was institutionalized.
And there are individuals who are more familiar with sin than they are with freedom. And so they know that territory. That’s why every time you talk to me say, “No, I’m going to tell you why I used to be.” We don’t care how you used to be. We want to hear what God is doing. Not what you used to do.
We do care about your story, but not We’re not bragging on the past. We’re not bragging on unfruitful works of darkness. Everybody’s got that in their life somewhere. We’re concerned about where we’re going.
And so we can all go back and re-surder if we choose to. But I need you to know that’s precisely what you’re doing. Let me show you Romans 6. Boy, I need to hurry, hurry, hurry. Romans 6 and 12.
Go to verse 12. Romans 6 and 12. Uh, you can yield yourself. The scripture uses the term yield. Everybody say yield.
Notice what he says. Romans 6:12. What does he say? Read. Let not sin therefore reign in your In other words.
See, sin has no authority over you. And you’re not supposed to allow it to rule you. That’s what it means. You can stop it from ruling you. Therefore, let not sin therefore reign in your morty bodies. read that you should obey it in the lust thereof. 13 read, neither, here’s the word, yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin, but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.
Verse 14, here it is again. Three, for sin shall not. So what’s the issue here? He’s trying to let you know sin is not your boss. Sin does not have authority over you.
Missing the mark. You can hit the target if you want. You don’t have to keep missing the mark about who God created you to be. You can hit the target. And people who need to see you hit the target will be blessed by you showing them who God intended for you to be.
I think you owe it to your family to hit the target a couple of times. You owe it to your spouse to hit the target a few times so they can see something other than the perverted side of you. They need to see the part of you that God ordained for you to be. You don’t have to keep missing that target. You can hit that target if you want because sin does not have dominion over you.
You supposed to rule over it. It not rule over you. But is your choice. You Can Yield IF You Want. You didn’t have a choice when you were a slave. But you are no longer a slave to sin. Say it.
I’m not a slave. I’m not a slave. I’m not. Say it again. I’m not a slave.
Now, it takes a lot of people a long time to get the slave mind out of them. You can be physically removed but still think like a slave. Watch verse 14. Read. For sin shall not have dominion over you, for ye are not under the law, but under grace, which is the power to overcome that sin. Verse 16. Read verse 16.
Know ye not that to whom ye yield yourselves servant to obey his servant ye are whom ye obey, whether sin unto death or obedience unto righteousness. And so what I need you to know, it’s all about everybody say yielding. Paul uses the theological term yield. And what it actually means is to make yourself at the disposal of another. When you make yourself at the disposal of a person, they can use you according to their desire. You got to be careful who you yield yourself to.
When you yield yourself to somebody, you say, “I am at your disposal.” What you’re really saying, you’re you’re saying, “I’m present. I’m here present and accounted for and at your disposal.” Paul says you’re not supposed to yield to sin because sin will abuse you. And there are some people here have already understood that you’ve yielded yourself to the wrong person and and you have suffered some levels of abuse. Who knows that to be true? You can yield yourself to the wrong man and find yourself in a pickle.
You can yield yourself to the wrong woman and find yourself in a dreadful state. You can yield yourself to the wrong church and find yourself in a worse condition. You got to be careful who you yield yourself to because if you say I’m at your disposal, they may use you for their intent and it may not be to your advantage.
And some people have done that in their life. They’ve yielded themselves to a financeier or they yielded themselves to an office or whatever they did to some doctrine or some university, some thought, some organization and you’ve walked away broken. And so many people are broken today for that reason because you chose or I chose to yield myself to the wrong thing.
And so they walk away saying, “Well, I ain’t yielding myself to nobody after that. Nobody’s going to be able to rule my life.” And now they won’t yield themselves to no one. That’s not the answer. He tells us you got to yield yourself to the right thing. Ladies and gentlemen, because you only compound the power in your life when you yield yourself to someone who has your best interest at heart and they have power in their life.
They will benefit you more than the other person destroyed you. So we must learn what to yield ourselves to. Paul says yield in the world of psychology they would use what you yield yourself to or what you repeat in your life repetition you will form habits and psychology believes that human beings are formative creatures who become what they repetitiously do if they do it enough the thing that they’re doing will eventually rule over them. It’s called habits. They become automatic behavior.
You can start by saying, you know, a little curse word as a teenager. Just slip a little curse word out at somebody. 12th grade. See how not 12th grade. Let’s go back to sixth grade. See how that feels.
And then the next day, you can say it. And it gets easier and easier because repetition is creating a a a habit which is forming the person and you catch them a year later they just saying everything just like this because they continued in the repetition. That’s psychology. Everybody say psychology. Uh it’s it’s behavior that forms a person.
Also reinforcement behavior can also form a person. If you do something and you get a positive reinforcement from it, the tendency is to keep doing it to get that reinforcement. And now every time you want reinforcement, you’re willing to do that thing. And this is how people are conditioned. And this is how people are groomed.
If they like shiny things and they’ve been conditioned to respond to shiny things, those that want to use you and traffickers will offer you shiny things. and they will respond because they’ve been conditioned like that. That people actually groom people to operate a certain kind of way. That’s psychology. It’s is habit forming. We’re told allegedly that you can do something for 21 days and form a habit.
I think that’s an oversimplification to be true about it cuz sometimes it takes longer than that. Depends on what it is. But if you keep doing anything long enough, eventually it forms you into that thing. And that’s why you got to be careful because if you don’t go to church that often, you’ll form into a person that don’t go to church. Yeah, that’s true.
That’s true. That’s true. Some of y’all used to go to night service. Some of y’all used to go to day service. Some of y’all used to go to Bible class.
Some of you used to go to Friday night service. Some of you used to go to Tuesday night prayer. You was in church all week long. Now you’re saying, “We got two services this week.” You was formed, but now you’ve been reformed because you’ve stayed away. And that’s a behavior.
And you’ve created a habit of not coming. The more you don’t come, the easier it is not to come. Prayer is not hard for people who pray. I pray every day. I can’t imagine a day without prayer.
I can’t even conceive of not praying. That’s only because this is what I’ve been doing for the last 30, 40 years. But individuals who don’t pray will find it hard to pray. So your first your first attempt at something, your first prompting is hard. And then you do it again, it gets it’s still hard.
But the more you do it, the easier it becomes. So you can train yourself to praise. You can train yourself to give your tithe. You can train yourself to forgive. Practice it and eventually it becomes second nature or a habit.
Whatever you yield yourself to will have authority over your life. That’s the point I’m trying to make. Neurologically, the same thing is true. Whatever you yield yourself to will create new synapse in your mind. neurons that fire together will wire together. What the more things you do, it’ll create new pathways in your brain.
And so if you yield to it, it will control you eventually. Doesn’t matter what it is. So you don’t have to give yourself over to sin or adultery or fornication or lies.
But if you practice it, it will rule over you even though you have been set free by the blood of the lamb. But just as bad behavior can shape you, good behavior can also shape you. So as opposed to yielding to what’s wrong, he tells us to yield to God, yield to the Holy Spirit, yield to good advice. It may be hard the first time they tell you to do it, but if you do it one time, it gets easier the second time. Yield to wisdom.
Yield to love. Yield to blessing and positive words. You’re supposed to be in a reality where there is no curse, where there is no bondage, where there is no condemnation, where there’s only forgiveness. Yield to that way of thinking and prepare yourself to fly. Yield to success.
Yield to transcending. Yield to living above the fray and not like everybody else. Yield to a higher life. Yield to a greater life that God intended for you to live. If you can come up that high, God can change your life forever. I need you to lift those hands right there.
And I want you to worship him and tell God, I’m going to yield to you. That’s what this is about. I’m going to yield to you. I’m going to yield to you.
Now, I’m going to make my final point here. I’m going to yield to you. I want you to see this. I want you to see this.
And so anytime a person yields to God and he does the will of God and the an eternal purpose comes forth in their life, anytime any eternal purpose comes forth in a person’s life, it rebues the devourer. You see Jesus death has rebuked the devourer at the cross. Satan is defeated.
But in order for us to rebuke him in time, we have to release the will of God in our life. So the will of God will rebuke the devour. What is the devourer? It’s that activity that feels like something is eating up everything you have, eating up your strength, eating up your resources, eating up what God has given you. It’s like something is chipping away at the fruit of your life, at your productivity.
It’s chipping away. It’s called a devour. It means to swallow things up. And the Lord told me that many believers are in that space right now that they’re experiencing some activity that feels like a devour that has been loosed in their life. And God sent me here this morning to tell you how to defeat that devour.
Is there anybody here that can testify that something’s been eating away, chipping away? A devourer can also devour time for the years that the cankerworm have eaten up that that’s a devouring spirit but is eating up somebody’s time. You looked up and you say, “How did I get here? How and I haven’t got this done yet. It looks like time is slipping away.” But God says we’re about to check that devour in this service.
And just give me a few more minutes. We’re getting ready to check something. Something’s getting ready to shift in your life. I can feel it by the power of the Holy Ghost. That thing that’s been eating is going to have to stop.
As a matter of fact, you going to eat up what’s been trying to eat you up. You getting ready to swallow what’s been trying to swallow you. You’re getting ready to overcome what’s been trying to overcome you. We’re not afraid of a devourer, but there’s just something we got to do to stop it in time. It’s already been rebuked in eternity, but now GOD Says You Must Stop IT. in time. I’m going to give you an example really quick.
And really quick, I need to give you this example. Ah gosh, why is it so late? Revelations 12:1. You got to see this. The message won’t be complete unless I make this point. Then I’ll stop.
Revelations 12:1. Read what does it say? And there appeared a great wonder in heaven, a woman clothed with a sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head crowns of 12 stars. And she being with child cried travailing in birth and pain to be delivered. Read.
And there appeared another wonder in heaven. And behold a great dragon having seven heads, 10 horns, seven crowns on his head, and his tail drew third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast him to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered. Why did he stand there? For to devour her child as soon as it was born.
And she brought forth a manchild who was to rule all the nations with the rod of iron. And her child was caught up to God and to his throne. And the woman fled into the wilderness where she had a place prepared of God that they should feed her three and a half years. All right. So the point is this.
This is a chapter an account in the book of Revelation that shows us what happens behind the scenes. There’s always something that happens in the heavens that actually causes history to take place in the earth. And what we see here happening in the heavens is there were two wonders. One was a woman was with child and that child with Jesus. This is a scene of in heaven that caused the birth of Jesus to take place and everything in Christ that will be birthing.
And then the dragon was Satan because he knew that if Jesus is born, he’s going to rule over me and my destiny is sealed. So his strategy always is to stop eternal plans from entering the earth because if he can stop eternal plans from entering into the earth realm, he can continue deceiving and doing his work. So he declared, “I’m going to devour this thing.” So Harriet, King Harriet gets the same wrath in him and decide when Jesus is actually born in time, we got to stop this thing from coming into the earth and he going to kill all of the two year olds and under. That’s devouring, ladies and gentlemen. There was a a a devouring spirit trying to get to Jesus.
But but the purpose always gets delivered. God says, “Go down into Africa and there I’m going to preserve you.” And Jesus didn’t come back until Harriet was dead. The same thing was true with Moses. Another deliverer was getting ready to hit the earth. And Moses got that same, not Moses, but Pharaoh had the same spirit that says, “Kill all the manchildren.” And there were midwives who feared God more than they feared the king’s edict.
And they hid Moses 3 months and eventually Moses got through because you can’t stop eternal purpose from entering into the earth. Regardless of how many people you kill trying to stop it, a devouring spirit is a desperate devil. When he knows that something’s coming and I got to stop it, but I don’t know who it is. I don’t know who it is. I don’t know where it is.
So, I’m just going to start killing everybody random. And when random crazy things happen, you got a desperate devil on the loose because he knows that somebody’s carrying purpose. Somebody in Christ is about to deliver something. Somebody else already delivered. They just raising it.
Somebody’s about to present themselves. Some of you are carrying purpose right now. There’s a divine thing God’s about to do in your life. And that’s why everybody in your family’s getting hit. There’s a divine thing that God’s getting ready to do in your life.
That’s why your uncle getting hit, your aunt get hit. Cuz the devil doesn’t know who it is. So he just spraying the whole house.
But GOD Has You Safe. Because When You Come Forth, you’re going to change the game. You’re going to change the game. YOU’RE GOING TO Change The Whole Game. LADIES and gentlemen, I’M Declaring Purpose Shall Come Forth.
Purpose Shall Come Forth IN The Name OF Jesus Christ. The devil can’t stop though there’ll be casualties. Everybody stand. Because you are anointed, other people get hit. Because you’re carrying something that’s going to change your world. That’s why I’m so compassionate for people around me cuz I know many of them take hits because of what we’re trying to deliver.
Every two year old was under attack because of Jesus. Every male child was under attack because of Moses. You have to be careful when you hanging out with people who have big callings on their life. You have to know how to shore up. You can’t just be going for the ride.
You got to be spiritual yourself. You got to be praying yourself. cuz you see well what they they after you. You don’t want to be catching no stray bullets from a desperate devil.
But I need you to know all of those who are collateral damage or casualties are put in God’s plan as well. God allows them to fall on the sword and he uses their blood to hasten his purpose and he rewards them immensely on the other side. So each one of those kids that had to fall on their sword at age one, age two are held up in glory as martyrs for the cause of Christ. You got to have a bigger perspective than what’s happening in time. You got to be able to see what’s going on behind the scenes and what’s happening in time.
The death of Jesus Christ was meant to produce a reality where there’s no curse, there’s no bondage, there’s no condemnation. And there’s no devoured purposes. No purpose can be devoured. Just because you’re feeling the pressure, that’s what many of us are. you’re feeling the pressure is an indicator of a desperate devil because he knows somebody’s getting ready to deliver something and he just aimlessly shooting anybody he can.
But once those purposes were delivered and they came forth, he had to change his strategy. Deliver the purpose and it’ll disrupt satanic plans. So whatever you got to do, stay focused. Stay focused. Tell somebody, stay focused.
Just push. Just deliver. Just care for the baby. Care for the baby. Care for the baby.
Don’t let the baby die. Whatever you do, don’t let the baby die. Don’t let the baby suffer. Because what you’re getting ready to deliver is going to change the whole game for a lot of people. Whatever you do, be like Mary.
SAY, “I’M Carrying Something sacred in my heart.” PUSH. Somebody Shout, “PUSH. PUSH.” SOME OF You Need TO Deliver Right Now. SOME OF You Need TO get it out of your spirit right now. Push that thing out.
Don’t ever stop. Don’t ever give up. I know you’re tired. I know you want to quit. I know you want to throw in the towel.
I know you don’t have understanding. I know you think it’s it’s crazy. But I want you to know I showed you what was going on behind the scene. You are carrying destiny in your heart and you’re getting ready to change the game for your whole family. So stand still And See The Salvation OF The LORD.
OH, I feel maturity coming on this house right now. The devil thought he had you, but now you understand. And you’re going to hold on to that baby.
Come on, say, “I’m holding on to my baby and I’m going to deliver this thing.” And maybe you already delivered. I’mma raise this baby up. I got to hide it for 3 months, but I’mma raise this baby and feed this baby though. They don’t even know the baby exists. This is the world changer, but you don’t even know he’s alive.
And then I’m going to put him in a I’mma put him in a Nile River with crocodiles and trust God to keep this baby when I can’t keep him myself. I’M Going Turn Him Over TO The LORD Because GOD Birthed This Baby and this thing is going to work. Glory to his name. Glory to his name. The devil IS WAITING TO DEVOUR.
HE wants to see what’s coming out of your womb. He’s ready to devour. But Before HE Can Grab IT, GOD Grabs IT And Takes IT UP TO GLORY. A reality where no purpose is Devoured Belongs to you. Everybody who died along the way are a part of that victory and shall be handsomely rewarded on the other side.

Now, I’m imparting wisdom to you concerning life and what happens in the walk with God. This is a priest administering and and and appropriating wisdom that belongs to you.

He said, “As often as you do this, you show his death until he comes.” That means often is good. often is good. God moves in your life according to consciousness. The more conscious you are of who he is, what he’s doing, the more you will experience. So these kinds of services enhances consciousness so you can have greater reception. The apostle Paul spoke of this in 1 Corinthians 11 23.
He says, “For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed, he took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “Take, eat. This is my body which is broken for you. This do in remembrance of me.” Consciousness in remembrance. Consciousness. After the same manner, he also took the cup.
And when he had sucked, saying, “This cup is the new testament in my blood. This do ye. As often as you drink it in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you do so the Lord’s death until he comes.” And so the bread typlifies the body of Christ and Christ body itself which was bruised for us. He took 39 stripes and he suffered disease so we could be healed.
Our sins were placed on him. He suffered the penalty as we taught today so we could be delivered. The bread also represents our union with each other. We are a body that is converging together for corporate capacity. Together we will deliver eternal purpose that will disrupt the demonic kingdom.
The church is coming together. Every race, every ethnic group, every creed. Before the world was, he designed a people to be together, which is his body. Body also represents his purpose, his fulfilling, his fulfillment of purpose and his provision. Father, today as we consecrate the bread, we pray as we partake some of us would enter into the fulfillment of purpose, the bread of presence.
Others would experience covenant connections and corporate capacity. And some would simply just get healed by your stripes. Father, we pray this would not just be a ceremony, but it would be a reality that we would walk in oneness, provision, the oil would rest on the body. We dedicate this to you in Jesus’ name. And in like manner, he took the cup and he called it a cup of blessing.
It was his life. He said it was the new testament in his blood. It represented his life. that was poured out once and for all for eternal redemption. The one offering purchased redemption eternally for us. Meaning once you believe, nothing can separate you from God.
No guilt, no shame, no curse, no devourer, no bondage. All because of the blood. He that is born of God is become one life with Christ. What he is, we are. So we’re declaring that his life is our life.
His wisdom is our wisdom. His truth is our truth. He is us and we are him. And all sins are forgiven. We belong to him forever.
We thank you for this covenant. We dedicate these elements to you in Jesus name. Amen. Oh, the blood of Jesus. Oh, the blood of Jesus. Oh, the blood of Jesus.
It washes white as snow. Everybody say, “Oh, the blood of Jesus.” Oh, the blood. Oh, the blood of Jesus. Oh, the blood of Jesus. It washes white as soul. Oh, the blood. Oh, the blood of Jesus.

And so we get ready to celebrate his victory. And his victory is going to strengthen our life. Glory to God. Somebody help me celebrate the victory of Jesus over everything right now. Joy, joy, joy, joy bells ringing in my soul.
Joy, joy, joy, joy, joy. I said, joy bells ringing in my soul. When the priest used to go into the holies of holy place, they had to put a rope around him. And they had bells at the bottom of the garment. And the people on the outside says, “As long as we hear the bells chiming, we know that he’s in there doing redemptive work.
But if the bells stop chiming, he’s dead.” And so when you hear the joy bells in your heart, you know Jesus is work on your behalf. I hear joy in my soul right now. Come on. Can we break into that? You got to know how to step into a thing.
God’s trying to lift the heaviness out of your spirit. The pipe priest is still at work. The blood still works. Redemption still works. As long as you hear joy in your heart, you know he’s doing his work on your behalf.
Yeah. Woo. Woo. Woo. Woo.
Oh yeah. Life can get tough sometimes. But greater is he that’s in me than he that’s in the world. In this world you shall have tribulation, but be of good cheer. Jesus has overcome the world.
You are an overcomer today because of what he did in your life. So I’m going to praise him until I feel joy in my heart. I’m going to declare his name until I feel joy in my soul. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Hallelujah.
Ain’t he all right? Ain’t he all right? Ain’t he all right? Oh yeah. Hallelujah.
I feel like preaching right now. Yeah. Woo. This joy I have, the world can give it and the world can’t take it away. What kind of joy are you talking about, preacher?
