The Didactics of Apostolic Leadership: Persevering in Faith Through Obstacles & Distractions

In this powerful teaching on apostolic leadership, we dive into the didactics—the discipline, structure, and spiritual framework—required to lead and endure in seasons of pressure.

Every believer and leader will face obstacles, opposition, and distractions. The real question is not if they come—but how you respond when they do.

In this message, you’ll learn how to:

•  Persevere in faith when circumstances don’t align 
•  Stay focused when distractions try to pull you off assignment 
•  Develop spiritual discipline as a leader in Christ 
•  Walk in authority even in seasons of resistance 
•  Strengthen your endurance through biblical principles 

The apostolic call is not casual—it requires focus, sacrifice, and unwavering faith. As it is written in Hebrews 12:1, we are called to “run with endurance the race that is set before us.” This teaching will equip you to do exactly that.

We've been stripped of our culture, therefore we don't know how to behave. Well, go all the way back to the beginning, and you will recognize that it was the first person to sin in life was a black man and a black woman. Let me say that again. The people that brought sin into the world were black people. It was a black man and a black woman. Was it white, they were black. I know that's kind of shocking you, but my God. If he lived in Egypt, I've been to Egypt. And then that's part of Africa. And Africa is supposed to be where dark people live. So if Jesus went to Egypt, Moses went to Egypt. Some of the great leaders went to Egypt. Joseph went to Egypt. My God. When supporting them found Moses, they told their father, that's an Egyptian. Anybody listening? You need to recognize and realize stop reading the scripture culturally wrong. Let me say that again. Stop reading scripture culturally wrong. You need to recognize and realize that not one prophet in the old testament was white. Let me say that again. Not one prophet in the old testament was white. And if they were all of color, that meant God spoke to them. Let me say that again. God spoke to them, and I believe God spoke to this man of color who was a prophet to a nation and a culture of people. I believe Jacob was a man of color. And all of his children were children of color. You know, when you read the word of God, I'm sorry, Trout, I got water right here. Yes, Lord, but I'm gonna drink yours. Come here. Got just some new shoes on? Oh, shoes look new. Thank you, Troil. The Lord reward you and bless you. Take you to the next level. Sometimes God takes a long time to get us to where we need to be. Whenever He takes a long time, it's not because He forgot us, it's just because He's making us. He didn't make you last to forget you, He made you last to prepare you. And He took the last and He made Him first. If you find yourself in a state of being last, then you need to understand He's gonna take you from last to first. But if you are first, you may understand that He's gonna take you to last. One of the first things that a last can learn is how to be first, and the first thing a first can learn is how to be last. Therefore, if you do what you're supposed to do, you can always be who you are. But let's get back to what we're doing. He says, I love you, God says. God says, I love you, said the Lord. Yet you say, now can you imagine the people of God? How many times I've argued with God? You hear that coming through? How many times have I argued with God? I know you've never argued with God, but they said, yet you say. God says, He says, I have loved you deeply, very deeply, said the Lord. But you retort, that's what you say. Now you know these are black people. That's what they said. Really? Y'all know how we do that, huh? Really? We say that to this day. So you know this was some colored people God was talking to. They came back and said, Really? When you loved us, everybody else moving up. And we ain't going nowhere. White people moving up, Chinese people moving up. You know how we talk, Vietnamese people moving up, Hispanic people moving up. And you tell us you love us? Really? I can't tell. Why do you think people are acting a way they're acting in our culture? Simply because we don't see God blessing us as we want God to bless us. And we got the nerve enough to act with an attitude with God. We talk to God like He a chunk. We talk to God like He don't understand what we're going through. Really? I sure can't tell because you don't look like you're doing nothing for us. You're doing something for everybody else but us. That's how we talk. Hello, somebody. So you know these are brown people talking back to God. Amen. Anyway. So you need to understand. They said, yet said they, where uh wherein have thou loved us? Then God comes back and says, you know, uh uh uh Isaac had two children, right? Mm-hmm. One with us, yeah, Esau, and the other one was Jacob. You know that little shyster Jacob, the little liar Jacob, the little deceiver Jacob. I loved him and I didn't love Esau. And guess who you are part of? You're a part of the tribe of Jacob who became Israel. So I love your daddy and not the other person's daddy. Hello, somebody. May I say something to you? God has always loved us. From the foundation of the world, God created us and blessed us. Why do you think we excel no matter where we go? Because the blessings of the Lord that make us rich and add no sorrow. No matter how they try to put you down, no matter what they try to do to you, and they already know they do all kinds of things to you, but it doesn't advance because the blessings of God that He put up on your great-great great great grandfather, all the way to Adam, is on you. They can't take it all. They're saying in the next 20 plus years, a billion of your children will be born, that you'll be the most people on the planet. No matter what they try to do to eliminate you, that God has already decreed and declared the blessing he put on you, he cannot take off of you. But what he does require of you, that you respect him. And the problem God has with you is that you don't respect him as you should. That's why he cannot honor you because you don't honor him. And we're going to show you in scripture how you don't honor God. So you need to recognize and realize God says, Look, I've always loved you. Do you not realize that the part of Africa they came and picked your people from was the part of Africa that had the most powerful people in it? So when they were selecting them, they weren't selecting the worst of the worst. They were selecting the best of the best. Why? Because God was sending them to a country that was in a raw state and only our people was able to build it. Oh, I wish that. You see, you don't realize and recognize we had already built in Canada. We're already built in Mexico. We're already built in South America. We're already built in North America. By the time they got here, pyramids was already up. Big cities was already in place. So they had to learn how to build cities from us. I wish I was talking to somebody. You need to recognize and realize that they couldn't have never made it in America without us. No one could could pick cotton all day and dance all night, seven days a week. Remember what they said, what Farrell said to the to to your people? He said, look, I'm not giving you no more straw to make brick. You're gonna make brick and go get your own straw. And you're not gonna lose not one town, not one brick. Do you not realize and recognize that your people work better under pressure? You don't crack and fold. You operate and you do more. Michael Jordan was behind. One man took the Chicago Bulls, a team that nobody knew nothing about. And for the time he was there, he took that team and made it the number one team in the nation and around the world. Look at where that team is today, as opposed to when Michael Jordan had it. Michael Jordan, Michael Jackson took music to a level that it had never been before. Michael, Mike Tyson took the boxing world to a place. Mike Tyson beat you way before you got in the ring. He was about to fight one of the Spink brothers, and you could see the art of fear in the man's face before he even got in the ring. Mike threw his fist and the man fell down. Said, I had enough. He ain't got hit yet. Somebody help me up in here. You need to recognize and realize that there have been great leaders. We would never have made it to the moon if those women had not understood the laws that God had taught them from a child. Let me say that again. From a child in a school Toronto that didn't have the right textbooks, but they had the right God. Somebody help me. Who understood computers not by machines, but who understood computers by God teaching them the principles of it? You need to recognize and realize that God has blessed you and you don't need to be blessed. You just need to turn back to God. What is God saying to you? God is saying, this is the last instructions that I'm giving y'all. I need you to turn back to God. What I'm saying to the culture today is God is saying it's time for you to turn back to God, not to another culture, but to God. You have to serve God in spirit and in truth. What other people are teaching you how to do. Oh, somebody help me here. Somebody help me here. Nobody needs to teach you how to play a piano. You already know how to play a piano because you're the one created a piano. Nobody needs to teach you how to play music. You the one created music. No one needs to teach you about war. You the one who made the weapons. Somebody help me up in here. You need to recognize and realize that God has blessed you with every spiritual and physical blessing there is, and you have turned your back on God. You have turned your back on God? How come we were able to feed people poison and kill them without them even knowing how they died? Somebody help me here. How come we knew how to eat certain weed, or what we call weed, but herbs, and we knew that some would kill you and some will allow you to live? How come you knew uh we knew how to fix it so that the taste would be different than everybody else's taste? Why do you think people come from all over the world to come to a place called New Orleans? Because this culture is a black culture, and guess what? We shake, rattle, and roll, but people come here to enjoy what we do and the foods that we prepare in the restaurants everywhere in the city of New Orleans. We don't own those restaurants, but we cook for those restaurants. We add that special touch, that special taste. So the whole world says, man, they call it Creole, they call it this, that, and the other, they call it, they got all kinds of names that they put on it. But do you not realize that he taught you how to cook? He taught you how to eat, he taught you what to put in it, he taught you how to put seasoning in stuff to make it have a unique taste. People from all over the world, wherever I've been, to China, I've been to every continent except for two, and I'll be going to one, so I'll be in six continents. Everywhere I've gone, everybody loves the food in the city of New Orleans. You know why? Because black people know how to. Oh, I wish I could help somebody up in here. God loves us. It's not a problem that God has, it's a problem that we have turned away from God. And now we're trying to be what we're not. We're trying to behave like a. You know what I like about the basketball players? They all have a certain kind of hairstyle. They can finally look at history. I went to Egypt, and the way the Egyptian hair is in that tomb is the same way your children's hair is today. They told us to get that stuff off of our head. Every two weeks I had to have a haircut because my father was embarrassed because I had something called Jesus called, Jesus' hair was called curled, you would have called Jesus' hair nappy. So if my hair was nappy and Jesus' hair was nappy, that must have meant I look more like Jesus. Oh, I wish I could help somebody up in here. You need to recognize and realize there's absolutely nothing wrong with you who have dark skin, dark complexion. You're not ugly. How could God create an ugly person? God created you beautiful. What did the Bible say in the book of Song of Solomon? I was black and And he says beautiful. Hello, somebody came along and said, Say it proud. The prophet said, Say it proud loud. The prophet came along and said, Said loud. One more time, the prophet came along and said, Said loud. And all of a sudden, something happened. The light-skinned people wanted to act like it was black. The black people wanted to act black. All of a sudden, we found ourselves becoming who we always were meant to be. There's no excuse for you trying to be something that you're not. Act like I was in a white culture. They didn't want us to sing, they didn't want us to do the things we did. But just because they didn't want it didn't make them right. Hello, somebody. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being who you are. They wanted you to believe that black was evil, but black is not evil. Oh Lord Jesus. Jesus was black. So if black was evil, then Jesus is evil. Lord have mercy. The angels of the Lord are black. So if black is evil, the angels of the Lord's evil. But I'm not talking about all of that. I'm just adding that to the conversation. Amen. That's free, y'all. You're gonna pay for the rest of this. You need to recognize and realize all I'm saying to you is this God's always loved you and he's proven to you. My God, my God, in the 36 Olympics, who was the fastest man on the planet? The white man sitting there with with with Hitler. It was a black man. And when the black man beat all of his white leaders, he walked away and would not acknowledge him. My God, I thought he was creating a race of people that was greater. Come on, somebody, you cannot listen to me, hear what I'm saying. God loves you so much, you cannot create a race greater than black people. Let me tell you that again. You cannot, everything that God cre let me see, everything that God put in a human being, He put in a black person. The darker you are, the more of God you have. The darker you are, the more of God you have. The darker, the darker your melon is, the more powerful you are. Everybody knows that for you. You're trying to put white power, like power, and all kinds of power on you simply because you don't want to be who you are. They are trying to act like you are not the great person you are, but you are. The lighter you get, the weaker you are. The more intimidated you are. You don't see dark-skinned people being intimidated. You got to beat them down to the ground. You got to whip them like a dog. And all that you do to them, they still stand up at you and say, hmm, I ain't feel that. Is that all you got? Hello, somebody. Y'all got me on another subject here. All I'm telling y'all is this God still loves us. God said, I love you. And look at what I did for y'all. I hated this group and I love you. I poured all myself into you, and you act like you can't lift your hands and tell me thank you. You can't say that word, I love you. You know it's hard for a culture of people to say I love you. You need to learn how to practice saying I love you. I don't care if it's a white person, you have to say that too. A black person, you have to say that because you represent the love of God. All the things that He's done for you, and you can't say you love, you need to practice that at home. You need to write it down. Say you want somebody to love you, you need to write down I love you and start practicing it. Say it to the people around you, say it to your neighbors, say it to people who you can go to work. That times I go to the restaurants, and the Lord will give me a word for the waitress. God will give me a word for the people. My, my, my, my, my. I was at I was at uh last night at the Hispanic Plaza, Plaza, at this, it is a plaza, Hispanic church. And the reason why I was there because the baby that I prophesied over made a year. The mother had a child. She was wanting a a a girl instead of a boy. And I looked at her, her stomach. I said, the Lord's saying that that's a boy inside of you. She said, You're crazy. Because she was bleeding for a girl. I said, No, that's a boy. Well, she carried it. Well, her water bag broke. The baby was months old. Baby came out with all kinds of problems. She messed up. I just happened to go there one Sunday. That she was looking sad. I didn't know, you know. She never really came around me, so I didn't be, I wasn't, you know. But I just saw something on her. It's like the king saw something on the Amaya. I just saw the face wasn't the way it was supposed to look. I said, come here. And I began to speak life to her. And I told her that was the boy inside of her. And then she had the problems. The baby stayed in the hospital uh about seven, eight, nine months. Last night the baby they drew a party. They must have had every Hispanic person in the world there last night. They wanted me to come see the baby. That was the first time I ever saw the baby. And I was thinking, thankful to God because God gave me a word that I spoke into the existence in the life. Here's what the doctor told her. The doctor told her to go ahead and let the baby die. I told her the baby was going to live. It wasn't me, it was the word that God gave me. You need to recognize and realize that God has given us so much. I've gone around the world and spoken into the lives of thousands of people, so many people, I can't even begin to tell you. People walk up to me. We were in Africa. Theopolis was there. The man came over to me and called me apostle. That man in Africa speaking into another language, saying Apostle. Man didn't know me. I had never seen him. He never saw me. But he said to me, He said, I saw you last night in a dream. The Lord sent you to this country to help the people of this country. I thought the man was a part of the ministry. He was not a part of the ministry when he didn't know nothing about the ministry. I thought that was interesting. You need to recognize and realize when God called you, he called you because his purpose is inside of you. His purpose doesn't come when you go get education in a white college. His purpose was inside of you way before you went to college. When you came out, uh Malachi was a prophet called a messenger. He was just not a particular prophet. He was, I mean, he wasn't just any kind of prophet. He was a particular prophet. He had the oracle of the prophetic message for Israel. Not only for that day, but he saw Israel 400 years later, even though they did not listen to him. He prophesied that the day would come that they would turn their hearts back to God because God was going to send a prophet in that generation, hundreds of years later, that will all be like Elijah, that will turn the hearts of the people. Why did people come? Come to John the Baptist because his job was to turn the hearts of the people back to God. After 400 years, America, I'm decreeing and I'm declaring that God is going to raise up preachers that will turn your hearts back to God. You will no longer serve God the way you want to serve him, but you will serve God in spirit and in truth. You will no longer be culturally correct. You will be spiritually correct because God will live inside of those that worship him in spirit and in truth, but not culturally correct. Anyone listening to what I'm saying here today, I decree and declare that the time is, this is the season, this is the last season before Jesus Christ comes back. I am decreeing and declaring that God is going to raise up that no, no, no, no, that God is raising up prophets to the nations, prophets to the whole nation, everywhere we are. They will not sell it sold out for a Mercedes-Benz, they'll not sell it sold out for a Gucci belter, they'll not sell itself out for a watch or a ring. But there will be men and women of God that will love God with all their hearts. Many of you started off loving God, but you got caught up in the culture, and the culture has led you astray. And now what God has to do is erase you and bring up a whole new generation. But I want you to understand, don't be like the old prophet that God no longer uses, and then a young prophet comes along and you manipulate him and control him so God don't have to kill him. If God has to remove all the old prophets out the way so that the new prophets can come along, I decree and declare that that'll happen because you will not misuse the new culture that God is going to raise up. They will not prophesy for money, they will not prophesy for fame. They will not prophesy for for a better life. They will prophesy and say what thus said the Lord, because inside of them they will recognize that they are a messenger. Inside of them, they will have the oracle. Inside of them, they will have the prophetic message that God wants. They won't come to your church to prophesy cars and houses and who you're gonna marry. That ain't got nothing to do with God. Cars and houses and who you marry has got nothing to do with God. But they're gonna prophesy, thus said the Lord, whether you like it or not, whether you want to hear it or not, but they're gonna turn God's people back to God because there's a billion of them that's gonna come forward in the next 20-something years. And I decree and declare that they're gonna be true prophets and true apostles that will eliminate the old fake apostles and prophets, and they will say, What thus saith the Lord, they will not sell out for a dollar, they will not sell out for a gold watch, they will not sell out for a diamond ring, they'll not sell out for a better lifestyle, but they will be sent from the heavens above to clean up the mess that has been made in this generation. I decree and declare that it shall be done according to the mind and the will of God. Somebody give God some praise up in here. You need to understand God love us and is not finished with us. God love us. Come on, black America. Come on, you need to recognize and realize you don't need permission. You are permission. You are the permission of God. Don't get caught up into the foolishness that will cause you to lose your soul. My God, what will it profit a man to gain the world and lose his soul? Black America have done so much to lose their culture, lose their soul. But I decree, I'm not prophesying because prophecy will take too long. But I'm decreeing and I decree that it shall happen now, so that the foundation will be laid, so that from this day forward you will see a turning around in a place called the church. You will see young people running to the house of God and they're not gonna have to do what nobody says. They'll do what God is telling them. You'll see babies born that will be so prophetic that they'll the one of the first things uh they won't be able to talk, they'll be able to point and it'll happen. They'll be able to put their hands on stuff and they'll be healed. They'll be able to do things spiritually that you've never seen before because they're gonna be like Jesus. Uh, you don't know much about Jesus as a child, but Jesus was a great child at the age of 12 years old. He was ready to go full-time in ministry. Why did he have so much wisdom? He didn't get wisdom at 12. He had wisdom all of his life. Somebody help me here. He was able to lay hands on the sick. Uh, he was already something uniquely different. He came out uniquely different. When he came out, the stars in heaven did something they never did before. You need to recognize men came from all over to come see who he was. You need to recognize and realize uh when Jesus played around dead people, they came back when he was a child. Jesus didn't play hot scot. He didn't play uh football and basketball. He stayed connected to the Father and he learned obedience through the things he suffered as a child. He learned how to do things that was unique and different. His brothers knew he was different. While they were sawing wood, he was in the backyard raising up birds from the dead. Somebody help me here. He was laying his hands on the sick and watching them get recovered. They already knew who he was because uh he didn't become who he was when he was a man. He was born. You shall call his name Jesus because he shall save his people. He shall be Emmanuel, meaning God with us. Emmanuel wasn't God with us at 30. Emmanuel was God with us when he put uh Emmanuel inside of Mary. And when she came out, uh the sun and the moon changed. When he came out, my God, all of creation changed. You need to recognize and realize that you didn't just get when you got saved, whatever it is you got. You had it when you came along out of the glorious power of God. He sent you as his messenger, he sent you as his deliverer, he sent you as his preacher. Stop trying to act like somebody else and act like the person that God called you. Kanda Lobraka. Lord Jesus, somebody help me up in here today. You need to recognize and realize you're trying to behave like somebody else. Uh, you had that thing around your neck. Come on, get it off. Uh, they used to put chains around our neck. Now you put collars on your neck. Somebody help me up in here. You dress like an old person going to a graveyard. Change your clothes. Somebody help me here. You need to recognize and realize. Stop trying to be like everybody and spend time with God and let God do what he's gonna do. You were something. When I was 12 years old, a lady told me that Bar's gonna be a preacher one day. I'm in the St. Bernard project, don't know nothing about God, church, or nothing. How come that old lady knew something was in me that I didn't know? How come she knew something was in me? My mama didn't tell me, my daddy didn't tell me. You need to recognize and realize it was always there. I came from heaven to be who I am to this day. I don't need recognition from man. I have a I have recognition from God. I gem uh uh Malachi was a messenger from the heavens. Oh my God, lift your hands one more time, lift your heart one more time and tell God, thank you. God says, I love you, I love you, I love you. I've proven even in slavery, I prove to you that I love you. You don't hear about all of the great people that God brought and raised up in slavery because they eliminated them in the natural, but they couldn't eliminate them because history is history. My God. History is history. And now that we have the ability to find out who we really are and what we've already accomplished, you didn't know anything about those women who was able to send uh uh John, whatever that man that put a man up in the air. He said, I wanted if she said it's right, is right. They had computers, them women had that spirit. Somebody help me here. Over and over, over and over. The man who played the piano, they called him Shovan or whatever he was, he was black. They won't tell you that. So you huh? They told him, Y'all, they don't tell you that. They don't want you to know that. They want you to believe that it was somebody else. But it wasn't somebody else. It was the people that God said, I love. In spite of, I still love you. Can I get you to recognize and realize that if you allow the love of God to come inside of your heart, you will rise to the occasion that God, you will never look at yourself and say something bad about yourself. You will never look to get permission because you will recognize you are permission. Everywhere I go, I stand as a man of God in cultures all over the world. In China, whether I was in China, people came outside to come see a black man that they had never seen before. The old people was crippled, coming down with their canes. Their whole neighborhoods, the whole community was coming to see a black man, somebody they had never seen before. The people that I was with, they said, Man, you make us feel like we are powerful people. I said, What y'all talking about? They said, Man, they have never seen nobody black before. You make us feel important. How come one black person in a country with a billion of them can make them feel better? And I'm only one black person. Somebody better understand what I'm saying here today. You need to recognize and realize it only takes one of us to outdo all of them. Kaleba Satala Braqa, Christopher Columbus did not discover America. But what he did was he used the maps that the black people had already created to come to this country. We had already come back and forth from Africa. The current of the every year, next month, every year, we'll have a wave come off the African coast. How come every year, for thousands of years, if you get on a boat, that boat will find its way into America. It might take three or four months, but it's on the way. Every year they're able to map out the waves off of the African coast. They'll say two weeks it'll be here. They'll tell you exactly where it's going. You know why? For thousands of years it's been doing the very same thing. My God. God makes sure that what happens to America starts over in the place called. They renamed it and called it Africa, but that's not what God called it. The first name we know about that country is called Eden, the Garden of God. Oh, somebody help me here. They have taken Africa and called it Africa where black people are and said that they're evil, but it's called the Garden of God. It is where God decided to come down and live, not live, but come and visit. It's not in Europe, it's not in China, it's not in Australia, it is in the Garden of God called Africa. And you need to recognize they changed the name, but they can't change the heart of the people. I decree and declare I have something. I said in a white church that I wasn't supposed to be able to teach white people because white people at that time didn't believe black people had nothing to say. Guess who had the largest class in that white church? Guess who they wanted to hear from? You need to recognize and realize God was using me with gifts and abilities that I didn't even know I had. My God. And they didn't know I had it either. The word of wisdom, the word of knowledge and prophecy was coming out. I laid hands on them, something happened. I don't know what happened, but I know something happened because everybody wanted me to lay hands on them. Somebody helped me here. Wasn't that I went to school to get it? They went to school to get what they got. I went to God to get what I got. I'm still connected to the Father. I want you to recognize and realize that God Almighty loved us so much that He deposited Himself in us. Lord, somebody help me. Let me say that one more time. I hope you felt it. God love us so much. God loved us so much. Why do you think you hate it? God loved us so much. That black piece of dirt he deposited himself in. If that black piece of dirt was dirty, if that black piece of dirt was no good, if that black piece of dirt was wrong, how come God came and lived inside of black dirt? Somebody ought to be shouting all over. My God, my God, you don't need permission. You are permission. Why do you think you upset everybody all over the world? Because when God decided to create man, he did not create no other color man but a black man. And that black, and that and let me say this to you. See the front of this? That's what color he was. He was so black, he put all of himself because watch this, watch this. Only black black can hold the power of God. What'd you say? Oh picture on my picture? Oh yeah, praise the Lord. Only a black person could hold God. No other color could hold it. He had to make sure hear what I'm telling y'all. He loved us so much that he had to put a had to make us soul pure black because only black, what could hold a star in the sky with no chain and no weight on it to hold it up but black darkness. Somebody help me here. Nothing's holding this earth up but black darkness. God had to create an entity called black. White people want you to believe, excuse me, other people want you to believe it's evil. Well, if it's evil, you're in trouble with God because God created it, and the only color you see in scripture is black. No other person is called any other color but black. Why? God wanted you to understand the only thing, oh Jesus, somebody help me. The only container, Toronto, that could hold God is a black container. Can you imagine if God would have made any other container, they would have oozed out all over because of the greatness of God. But God had to create a container so powerful, so strong, so magnificent, so marvelous, that a black container, we're the only container. That's why when you try to beat the hell out of us, it's not hell that's in us, it's God in us. That's why we understand we understand your language when you won't understand ours. Oh, somebody help me here. That's why we are able to tell you where you what you're about to do before you do it. That's why we know how to do what we know how to do. That's why we know how to get around what you don't know nothing about. That's why we can come live in your culture, but you can't come live in our culture because we know how to adapt to every situation, because the God that's inside of us is greater than anything you can imagine. What God says, I love you, and he says about Esau, I hate them. I hate them. God says, Not only do I hate them, he says, I hate the mountain that they live on, I hate the children that they have, and I'm gonna destroy them. I'm gonna send our animal to destroy everything about them. Verse 4 says, Whereas Eden said, We're in poverty, but we will return and build the desolate places, thus said the Lord of hosts. They shall want, that's verse four. They shall build it, but God says, But I will throw it down. They shall call them the borders of wickedness. Can I say something to you? They call themselves the little world. God says, Don't worry. I'm gonna deal with it, I got it. Oh my god, don't worry, I got it. I shall throw it down. God says, I'm gonna deal with it. What's those next two words? How long one more time? For your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, the Lord will be magnified from the borders of Israel. God is going to do something. God is gonna do something. God is gonna do this. Is what the prophet is prophesying. This is what's gonna take place, this is going to happen. God is going to do something. Y'all need to recognize and realize that this is what's happening. May I say something to you? The prophet Enoch prophesied something that that's taking place even to this in this day and time. God spoke to those prophets uh of what John, the revelatory preacher, saw was for this day and beyond. Some of the prophecies that God has given to men was beyond their lifetime. May I say to you that's some things that I've said that's beyond. I saw the internet before the internet was created. I told you about the internet, something was on the way, something was coming. I told you that men would marry robot women. I told you I saw stuff all in the technology world that had no name at the time, but I saw it not understanding it, and now it's already here. But the day is going to come, it's gonna be more prevailing than you've ever seen before because that's where God is taken. The greatest war that's going to take place in the heavens will be against the AI technology world and God. What's going to happen when the man brings his robot wife to church? What's going to happen when the man gets his robot wife to preach? Oh, I wish I was talking to somebody up in here. And you're going to be sitting there with your spirit and yourself talking about you judging them. They don't even care because it's already happening. And I'm decreeing and declaring you're going to see more and more of it because everything is out of control because you decided that women don't want to be the woman that God has called her to be, and men don't want to be the men that God has called them to be. So they're going to create another kind of man and woman. Just like it happened in Noah's day, it's going to happen today. But this time it won't be coming out of the heavens. It'll be coming out of the heaven in imagination, but it'll be coming into from the heavens into the things of the earth. It's happening right now. There are people like Elon Musk, there are people like those that God has given that ability to create, not because they're safe, not because they love God, but because they're taking an evil imagination and using the ability to invent stuff, and they're going to invent a world that you and I will not even recognize. Can you imagine this guy? If he was to go to Mars or the moon, he can own it and be the first one up there. And when you get up there, he'll charge you rent because people will one day live on those places. Somebody better hear what I'm saying today. They don't want to be around you, so they will create a world to be away from you because only the rich will be able to go up there. The only reason why you go up there is because you will be a servant or a slave on the moon or on Mars. That's the only reason why they'll take you so that you can serve them up there because they want to be separate from you. But no matter where they go, no matter what they create, they don't recognize and realize the Christ in you is the hope of glory. Oh, somebody give the Lord a little praise here this morning. I need you to understand that God is doing something. Those of you that's there, I want you to understand. My God, my God, let me say this to you and I'm closing. Verse 6 says, A son honor his father. Can I say this to you, culture? Can I say it's time for you to honor God? I'm not talking about honor a church. I'm not talking about honor your leader. I'm talking about honoring God. I need you to go to the word of God and study it to the point that you understand what God is saying and doing, not tradition, not religion. Too many religions, too many churches. You got the Catholic Church, the Baptist Church, the Methodist Church, you got the Church of God in Christ. All of that is trash. Thousands and millions of people following a denomination that's moving them away from God. Oh my God. You need to go to the Word of God and find out what the will of God is for yourself. And you need to teach the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to help you, God. You people are in religion so that they can continue to do what they want to do and call themselves saved and call themselves chosen of God. May I say to you, they're chosen by the enemy and chosen by their own flesh. They're hirelings. They're men that want to manipulate you and control you. I'm not talking against anything. I'm talking about a spirit that's in the world today that have raised up religion by the thousands and the millions and the billions people are following. That has absolutely nothing to little to nothing to do with God, but all about a tradition and a doctrine and a tr uh tradition and a doctrine that moves them away from God. But I'm decreeing and declaring the day is going to come, you're going to honor the Father. I decree and declare you're going to honor God. Not what men say you ought to do. We're all going to dress a certain way, walk away. You already a robot. No, you're going to do what God is saying because this is the day that God is going to restore people back to Himself. Stand on your feet. Stand on your feet. Those of you that can't, stand on your feet. I want you to understand that a new day is coming to us. A new day is coming. God, before Jesus Christ comes back, he is going to raise up men that will not be bought. He's going to raise up men that will not sell out. He's going to raise up men that don't have to have a certain look. My God, they don't have to wear gold. They don't have to wear diamonds. They don't have to wear a car. They don't have to live in a certain neighborhood. They're going to be men sold out for God. And they're going to be connected to the Father and tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. When you walk by them, their shadows will heal you. My God, when they look at you, something of the conviction will fall. The power of God will be so radiant on the inside of that dark-skinned person that God's raising up all over the world that you will sense and feel and know the power of God. They will not sleep with everybody in the church. They'll not use people and manipulate them and control them. Oh my God, they'll not be controlled by silly women in the house of God, but they'll be controlled by God. I decree that there's a new generation that God is birthing in the world today that will serve the Lord God and only Him. Randal Silly Brachah, I decree and declare that they're going to serve God and only God. And Father, I thank you. I give you praise, honor, and glory in the mighty name of Jesus. One more time, give God a praise. I trust and praise that you've enjoyed this teaching this morning. And if you are hearing me or seeing me or watching me for the first time, maybe you've never given your life over to Jesus. Maybe you don't know anything about him. But in the book of Romans, chapter 10, verse 9 and 10, it says, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, then that is the door that opens you up to salvation. And I trust and pray that this morning that you will turn your heart back. If you are a leader and you don't know what to do, if you're a leader, you've lost your way. You can go to our find us somehow and all of that technology stuff. You can find us, Light City Church in the city of New Orleans. We're here to help you. We're here to work with you. If you are a leader in our country, we're here to let you know you're not by yourself. God sent you to that community, to that country, to that land, so that you could be a light in the midst of darkness. We want you to know that we love you. We thank God for you, and we give God the praise, the honor, and the glory in Jesus' name. Come on, somebody again, give the Lord a hand. I want to do one more thing. Those of you that's gonna sow, this is the time to sow. Everybody say so. You you got a word this morning. You can't put a value to that word because I know it was powerful. But I want you to sow, so, so. I want you to sow. I want you to sow. I want you to sow. You can go to my Cash App Chief Lucas and sew that hundred dollars, that thousand dollars. You can sow that you say, why you say$100 or$1,000? Well, because I know that'll change your life. When I sold a thousand dollars, something took place inside of me that changed me forever. I want you to understand when you give, the more you give, it comes back. Good measure. If you are a minister, you want another shift to take place in your life. I want you to sow. And when you do that, I'm gonna reach out to you and minister to you because it's a new day coming to you. I trust and pray that you recognize and realize what God wants to do in your life. God bless each and every one of you. See you next week at 8 o'clock. Don't forget, stay tuned. We'll be back at 11 o'clock today with a powerful service. Amen.
