"Encouragement In The Last Days"

---

What I want to do today, you know, I wanted 1 to encourage us. You know, as we look at what's going on, because I know one of the things that we are called to do is the church is to address situations in countries in people's lives because people are always in constant need of answers. 

So I wanna just kind of paint a picture for all of us to have a clear understanding of what's going on. And what's really happening then we also know what our role is. Umm so the last days.  

The last days that you hear people talk about the last days. The last days we have done a teaching on this, but this is just a recap. Last day started when Jesus came. When Jesus came and then nailed him to the cross, that was the beginning of the last days. 

And we are still in the last days because the Bible was written specially pertaining the last days, was written round about the time that Jesus was on the Earth.

And that's why the one the disciples are asking when is this, hold on you don't have to worry about that. Paul rise the church in Thessalonian.  

That's 45 AD after Jesus death, talking about the last days. So which means since then to now we are living in the last days. Now, there is nothing that is going on right now that hasn't happened before in our world.  

We are not seeing anything new. The corruption that we are seeing has always been around throughout the Roman Empire.

Throughout human existence, it has always been like this. There is absolutely nothing new. We might not have experienced it, but it doesn't mean it was not there. It has always been like this. 

That's why the scripture keeps warning us says do not be alarmed. Don't be deceived. Don't freak out. Because this is what the devil does. Now since that's the case we can now go back to our scriptures and see that God has always been victorious.  

He has always put people in place to deal with situations or people or with a generation that was experiencing strife like this. We can look at all these politicians, right and somehow think they are powerful, they are not.  

They are only as powerful as we project them to be powerful. They are not powerful because think about what is that. What is power. Where do you get it from? Having money is not power. Having 65 houses is not power.  

Having the ability to fly first class and do all this, that's not power. Because what does that do? What does that do? Nothing. So they are only as powerful as we project them to be. So I want us to realize that we actually hold the power. 

And I'm not talking about masses of people. I'm talking about the children of the most high. We hold the power. Because we know where to stand on, where to run to, and we know who is in us.

Because, as long as you have the word of God inside of you, you have something that is not perishable, that will forever stand the test of time. 

The truth of the word of God is more powerful than any policy, or any law or any executive order that will ever be written. As believers, we cannot succeed and give power away. That's why the Scripture is unto us are given the mysteries of this Kingdom. We have the power. You cannot be alarmed.  

You cannot freak out. You cannot be in the same boat with everybody. My God, look at what they are doing. They are destroying the country. There's nothing new. There is absolutely nothing new alright. 

So we're going to talk about generations, cause I've been asking myself, why is it amongst us, right there is the wise generation amongst us. Like Lord cause, one of the things that we also need to understand as believers, guys, the people you find yourself surrounded with always tells you who you are in Christ.  

You attract people that needs the spirit of God that's in you. It's not just all that's my friend, no. He's your friend because they need something and you also need something in them.  

So it's a question that I ask myself, why do I have relationships with these people, not those ones, not those ones. Why these? What is it about them? And what is it about me that attracts them? And what is it about me about them that attracts me to them?  

Because in that shows us the things either that we need to learn to what God is giving you. And what is cementing inside of you. Now we want to talk a little bit about generation, why we solve all these world problems. 

Psalms 119:89, Psalms 119:89. We know this forever Oh Lord thy word is what settled. It's not debatable. It’s not to be fixed, is not to be altered. It’s not to be doubted is not to be questioned. Thy word is settled where, in heaven. 

Thy faithfulness what word is settled in heaven? Scripture. But particularly as it pertains to this. Thy faithfulness is who is unto us. This is God's faithfulness is unto what, all generations?  

Thou has established the earth and it abides, in other words every generation that will come and exalt the Lord, his faithfulness is settled in heaven for them. God's faithfulness to us is forever settled in spite of what goes on around us.  

God is faithful to his own. You and I. If we love the Lord, if we stay with the Lord his word is forever settled in heaven pertaining us. That’s why he says his faithfulness is from one generation to the next.  

Now Jesus is talking to a group of people in Matthew 12:38. Then some of the Pharisees and teachers of the law said to him, teacher we want to see a miraculous sign from you.  

Just right there tells us everything about our current era. People who are not saved. What do they want to see? A miraculous sign.

Somebody who can wave a hand and fix everything that's why they love Trump. Not because he is promising them something. No, because it's a desire for humanity to see miraculous signs.  

Then Jesus answered. A wicked an adulterous what generation ask for signs. But no sign will be given. None will be given except the sign of the Prophet Jonah. What did Jonah do? He refused to be sent by the Lord.  

And he had to go through chaos in order to believe that's what's being talked about here, that all the people that refuses the Lord, the only sign you'll get is chaos in order for you to believe. 

Which is what's going on. People wanted a sign and what they got is what chaos and trouble to lead them to what? To what Jonah did.  

Which is to believe that surely when God calls you, you better listen, verse 40 as Jonah was three days away and three nights in the belly of a huge fish. So the son of man will be 3 days and three nights in the heart of the Earth.  

The men of Nineveh will stand up at the judgment with this generation and condemn it now if you remove Nineveh, you put America there. This also makes 10 the men of America will stand up at the judgment with this generation.  

Which generation? The wicked and adulterous generation and condemn the righteous. Why? Because for they repented at the preaching of Jonah. So I'm doing this study in the scriptures on generations because where we are brothers and sisters by 2030.  

There'll be less than 10,000 baby boomers left in the world. By 2030 my kids will be adults. Setting policies and things for their generation.

This is why if you walk in church right now, if you were born in 1965 or 1955 or back then if you walk in church now, you cannot even recognize the new church in that church and that church behind.  

It's so different. Because this generation is setting in place what church is going to look like for them. The problem is that they are doing it without templates. It's trial and error. And figuring things out, what we used to know as family.  

Back then, is not what we know as family now. Because a new era is rising. But even though what's happening is what society is pushing, the Scriptures to continue to say the same thing.  

Daniel 4: 3, How great are his signs and how mighty are his wonders. His Kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom and his dominion is from what? One generation to the next generation. What is from one generation to this next generation? His dominion.  

We have a responsibility all of us to teach things that have sustained the Kingdom of God from one generation to the next. That's our job, because those things right, if you trust through hard scriptures have always been the weapon that God uses to deal with the emergence of a wicked generation.  

And if we don't know what those things are then we are not going to be able to deal with this situation here. We're not because we're going to tackle the government and Trump and all this other stuff, trying to use our own ideas.

But that's not what we are being asked to do, because his dominion is from generation to generation, what dominion? Of his Kingdom. 

That means that things that have been done throughout the course of men's history in the Kingdom. Those are the things that will forever challenge anything that rise up forever. And we ought to know what those things are. We have to know those things.  

How did Daniel and the boys survive in Babylon? It's a case study that all of us have to know. We have to look at it and study. How did they survive in Babylon? Here's the cycles of generations in our world. There’s the generation of evil.  

The generation of poverty. The generation of curses. Adulterous generation. Perverse generation, a generation of Vipers, evil generation, faithful generation, sinful generation. These are the cycles in the scriptures.  

The world is revolving around these over and over again. Who come from an evil we got poverty. We go to the curses, we go to a generation, adulterous generation, perverse generation, generation of Vipers, evil generation. Faithful generation of sinful generation. This is the cycle of our world. It's in the scriptures.  

But then this Bible says. His dominion is from one generation to the next. Which means every generation that will rise up, whether it is be poverty, curses, adulterous, vipers, evil, sinful. The Kingdom of God always stands against it.  

Now here is what the Kingdom of God powerful generations are. There's the generation of dominion generation of anointing, generational power, generation of prosperity. Then you have a grieved generation.

A generation of Mercy Luke 1:49, I think. Chosen generation. Remember, we are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood.  

That's what we find in the Kingdom and all these generations, right? Spiritual generations, their job is to stand against the we just talked about in the in the past light. 

Here's what I want us to watch out for as we are dealing with all this chaos. Because the devil has one goal kill, steal and destroy so he can either steal from a generation or he can kill a generation or he can destroy a generation.  

Now as a society, we can contribute to his cause by doing five of these things. We can reduce God and make him small. That's why I'm saying we cannot.

We cannot afford to be fearful. Because that means we are reducing God and making him small, belittling God, belittling him or we can shame God, or we can manipulate God.  

The worst one tried to eradicate God out of our daily life. Now I want you to think about this guys, right because we all wake up in the morning and give devotion and you know we pray. We trying to play our part correct.

Now I want you to just think about these guys. I want you to think about the times that we were not doing this. 

Don't you think all those years that we were hands off has contributed to the Devil now standing tall amongst us, threatening because over the years we reduced who God is in our life shamed. We manipulated God. 

We made him small and we decided he's not part of our daily life. And the devil says I will take as much ground as I can. Now we are trying to take back the ground that he has taken and we realize he has taken too much ground and it's a fight now. This is why we have to encourage everybody we know.  

Number one, to not do these things, but two to make sure that they are making God bigger and bigger in their lives. I want you to think about this. If as a parent, you are every day doing worship in the house. 

And you are praying in front of your children. They walk in, they see you praying and you just that means every time they come into this house, they know what the agenda is, right? Whether they are participating or whether they are refusing and they are like, oh, I don't know, I don't feel like it. 

But when they walk in the house, they know oh this what's happening this house? And if you continue doing it slowly but surely, what happens? They don't have a hiding place in this house. because, the scripture says where can I go? Where can I hide?  

That you are not more so in a place where he’s being praised. And that's what we are being taxed to do. To make God bigger in our lives. In everything that we do so that there is no room when the enemy opens his mouth and say, you know what? We are firing everybody who works in the government.  

You'll be like, yeah. Because you know that God is bigger than that. Here's the other thing that kills a generation irresponsible sowing. Bad thoughts and ideas that are injected into the Kingdom in the name of this is new way of worshipping God.  

No new way of doing this. It has always been this way. We have a job to do. We really have a massive job to do because what's going on around us again, you gonna hear me say this over and over again? We are the antidote.  

You know the trick the enemy has used with us. Like man you just leave out here by yourself. You know what do you think you can change?

Do you think you have the authority or the power to change the government? That's the way we talk, right? Like, yeah, it's just me, Nadia.  

Leave out here in. What can I what can I change in Washington. That is, if we don't understand the power that we have. But if you know that my prayer, I can go in that room, close the door and my prayer can reach heaven and God can answer me and fix some things today.  

Today in Washington while I'm here. Then it changes the way we look at things. But again, the the devil's job is to make us feel like what can I do? It's just me. I don't have any authority. You know, I'm not a not a senator.  

Now I'm not this. Until you realize that, oh if his word is settled, if his word is inside of me. That means that what I'm carrying is something that's in not perishable. We cannot be delivered from anything that we think is normal. If you think this is normal.  

Then 1 we can't deliver. We can't be delivered from it then two, we can't fight it. Because it's normal. I want all of us to see what's going on and realize it's abnormal. But the dominion that God has given us is from every generation that ever existed to now. 

And it still stands that you and I, that dominion and power has been transferred from one generation to the next to deal with all the cycles of evil generations that exist in our world. Failure to know it.  

That means we're going to live under duress. I mean these times I'm faced with something sometimes and I'm just like, yeah, then you feel your mind getting tired and you always get to this place of like, wait a minute. I might be tired, I might feel like I don't know, but you know, who knows?  

You know where I can go and get an answer right now to the Lord. The one who created all this. Then all of a sudden you are so revived and you feel you can stand against anything and anybody. Because you know the Kingdom that you are part of.  

The Devil's goal is to make you forget that you are part of a powerful Kingdom. That's his goal because once I have you believing that you, you are not part of that. That means if you are not part of then the dominion here's a case.  

A classics study of this, African Americans are part of this country. In fact, they built this country.

But there's always an agenda to teach people for them to believe that they are not really part of Country because then you're not going to want to change anything that you feel like you're not part of. But that's how the devil does with us.  

You do something wrong tomorrow. Like you know. Do you think God is really still with you? And now you're feeling like you an adopted child. So you feel like I don't know. I don't think I'm. I don't think I can do that. And then you withdraw from what he has given you. 

That's why the scripture says my people perish because they lack knowledge. What knowledge that you're part of a powerful Kingdom. That is dominion over every generation that was ever going to be created in this Earth. 

Now, if you don't know that, you're not going to participate in that power. Jesus tells the disciples I give you this power. Matthew 10 the realization comes after he's dead. All the way in the book of Acts over there.  

That's when they realize, Oh my God. Truly, what we were given in Matthew 10 we now have it and once they knew that that's when they started talking like, well, I don't have silver and gold. But you know what can give you.  

Not what God can give you. What I can give you same guy. A few chapters before, he couldn't cast out the boy, a devil in a boy. Now he's telling this guy I can give you because he came to a realization of what they possessed. One can chase 1000, two can chase. 10,000.  

Now how does that make sense unless there is a power behind that that you and I have to access when we come together. That's the truth, right?

That when two people come together and they believe in Christ there's extra power that can chase 10,000 people. That's just to show us what's available to us. That's the power.  

The goal today is I want us to realize how much power we have at our disposal. That's what we have but it does not matter if you don't know that you actually have that power. We can’t shrink. We can’t shrink.  

We cannot shrink. We have to exact the force of this Kingdom because the devil has one goal.

Yeah, make you normalize this habit, and then you'll never change it because you think it's normal. You think it's normal. And if it takes an inch or the following day, if he comes back, that's why the scripture says.  

What does the scripture say if you cust the devil and it goes, it comes back. If it comes back and realize, oh, there's a clean space here.

He goes and take what? He doesn't come back and take one inch. He's gonna take a whole entire yard and then he goes and gets more powerful demons. Hey there is space here.  

Let's take the whole entire field. And then the scripture says that person is worse than the first original state they were in when they encountered the devil. This is why we can't afford to shrink back or to walk around thinking that we don't have power.  

We don't have dominion. It was given to us. It was given to us in our hands. We are carrying it right now. We are just either don't know it or don't believe it or we are just not using it.

Few stories my grandmother and grandfather lived in a very witchcraft infested village and I'm talking about serious witchcraft.  

Where my grandmother, when we go to visit, she tell you can’t shake that dude's hand. You can’t shake that, you can’t go past that house. You can’t go over here because if you go I can guarantee you this on your way back.  

You either hands are gonna be swollen or one eye is gonna be shut. She live in a village where people who tell you point blank. I will wipe your family out and I used to ask my grandmother.  

Why can't you just leave this village? She's like, yeah, this is land of our forefathers. This was given to us from our ancestors. If I leave this, where do I go? I'm like you didn't go anywhere.  

She's like son, what makes you think that wherever I go, this does not exist there. And I'm like, you know what you might be right, then the second my grandmother, I remember this saying it to me vividly she’s like son, do you know who I am in Christ? I was like, you know what I didn't think about that.  

So I'm running away from these little people and I'm like, yo, I'm scared of these people. She was like I was like, I ain't scared of them. So they are afraid of me. They don't want to see me come over there to their house because they know that oh, you can't go over there. 

And my grandmother I'm telling you this, my grandmother watched people die left, right and center in this? Losing property, losing I mean you name it. She stood tall until she died at  89. She says, son, I would never be afraid of evil, ever.  

Says doesn't matter what form it comes in. Because I know where I am standing and I know what I'm part of. And she's just, like, just you and me, right we can go in there and shut the door and pray. And get in touch with God and this whole village will be shaking in 20 minutes.  

Do you understand that boy? I'm like you got it, Granny. That’s, the knowledge that we are being taxed to understand. I want you to imagine Jesus walking in the earth.  

How many offers would go to a tomb where we know there's a man with 6000 demons. Who's living over? They've tried to bound over and over again. Breaks chains and nobody ever want to see this dude. If we hear that, we'll be like. 

I mean, how many of us will go and stand in front of Hitler? Given an opportunity to. But Jesus says let's go to the other side.  

He doesn't even tell these guys why they are going over because probably if he does, they're like we're not going because Legion lives over there. Just say, let's go. There's no idea there's a confrontation that's happening.  

He doesn't even talk to the demonic Spirits 6000 of them talks to him. Says why have you come to torment us before my time? And he makes a show of them.

Now the same man comes and says my power, my peace I give to you. How then? How, then can we be? Fearful, nervous, freak out. How they're taking Social Security? Take it.  

They want to do all this other ok go ahead. Because we have example after example that the power lies with us, with us, Nadia, the power lies with you. 

Trump has no power over you. Lies with us from generation to generation, the same power is available for our children to deal with evil, adulterous, wicked generation.  

We cannot be afraid. We cannot freak out because God has done so much in us and through us. You know, is it 2 weeks ago when you guys were sharing? No, last week, that's when we did what are we thankful for right?  

You know, and everybody is gonna giving their edited version of their story. Right, little edited version. You know that God has done this for me now I was thinking when I was listening to that because I happen to know your stories individually in a much greater detail and I'm sitting there and I'm thinking.  

Collectively, the things that we all have been through and I realized, man, what kind of power, who exonerates Sarge from the little boy, he was and all that transpired in his life to make him stand today in his sane mind, married, loving God, being a father to many and then when you hear his story. Angel, like man, it can only be God's power.  

Then you talk to Vee and she tells you all her stuff. What she's been through. Then you talk to mother Carrie. You talk to Mary, you talk to Nadia, losing her husband in that manner. In a right mind, standing, smiling, worshiping God.  

I'm sure the day it happened, you probably said I don't know what I'm gonna do tomorrow. You talk to Daniel. He's on here. You talk to Ronita.

I mean, you talk to Ronita. And has, I mean, listen Ronita makes me cry all the time. Because I was in the same office with Ronita. Watching this girl pretty much every day slammed and I'm thinking.  

She might die here today. And for years, I'm not talking about just one year decades of maybe I'll die tomorrow. If I don't get a transplant. Even if I'm to get a transplant, it has to be something really unique. You talk to Calvin, talk to April two years of doesn't even know what happened. 

Memory wiped out, you talk to Danielle mental illness and the horror stories she had to live, survived because I know all these stories like to the detail and then you think about the power that has this ability to clean every single one of us, make us a family.  

And then God says the same power I give to you man. You think about dodge whatever Dodge is and what God did for him, for Ronita compared to dodge. It's ludicrous.

So when he's saying in Daniel 4 that my dominion is from generation to generation. It's a reminder that the power, the true power we hold it.  

It belongs to us. We have it. We are walking with it but our knowledge of that power is the problem. Right now as a group, if we don't want Trump in the White House, we can literally pray him out today. It's given to us. 

Again here the cycles of the world, so we all don't think we think this is unique. Generation of poverty, generation of curses, adulterous generation. Perverse generation, a generation of vipers, evil generation, sinful generation but in all these cycles of generations that exist in our world 

We have been given Dominion and God has proven it over and over again throughout history. Think about it Noah was found righteous in the midst of a evil generation, sinful generation, wicked generation, adulterous generation.

And through him, God says, I'll save the whole world, what kind of power is that. We hold the power. We hold the power. 

You know this is why sometimes you hear me when I when I'm talking to different ones like, oh, this child is giving me problems. Like. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no go in there and grab the child. And tell them who has the power.  

Isn't it amazing that when we put our foot down you can see the devil wilting so fast that you like, wait a minute. I thought this was going to be that difficult. One last story we're in an all night prayer.

Here, out here in Birmingham. And this guy is laying on the floor and he starts growling like a lion.  

Ronita might have been in that all night prayer. Growling like a lion and he's trying to take off his belt and pull off his pants in the church.

There's actually everybody's grabbing him and you can see this is a show to everybody. And of course they come get me, pastor Zee come, ok what’s up with this.  

And he's rolling and rolling and rolling all the way. They come back rolling this way and come back rolling this way.

And you can just see this is this is just and of course people are like, Oh my God, I was like, Oh my God, what? All it took was everybody don’t him. Hey get up. What are you doing? Let's go sit outside.  

Tell me what's the problem? Then you realize how people sober up fast. Once we understand the power that we possess and carry, it's not is it's the one that who is in us. Our job is just to show him. This is who I am carrying.  

Have you seen those people that get stopped and the wife gets stopped by police, but the husband is the deputy sheriff of the city. 

And they see driver's license and they look at it. And they're like, oh. You can see the policeman so aggressive, but once they realize and I sorry, sorry, sorry Ma'am.  

They said apologize. Like wait 2 seconds ago, you were aggressive. Now that you've seen who is whose name is on the thing all of a sudden now you are apologizing. That's how we should do with the devil. Show who we have at any given moment, this is who I am carryin.  

Because Dominion and authority and power has been given to us. We have to know it. We have to walk in it. We cannot, we cannot, we cannot walk around looking defeated or worrying like everybody else because, that's exactly what the enemy wants us to do. Because once you worry, you always forget who you are.  

We cannot. Don't freak out. Not having something to eat, it just means not having something to eat. Doesn't mean the sky is falling. Getting $2000 less in taxes, that's what it just means, it doesn't mean nothing.  

Because Dominion and power and authority has been given to us. Because that have saved every single one of you and I really, truly encourage you guys. I know last week Veronica was pairing people. Please open up to somebody.  

That's how we show this power because if you know if you just sit and talk to somebody and they hear your story. That's why, he says we overcome by the word of our testimony, because that testimony makes God looks bigger.  

And once he is bigger maybe what we should do, you know in the summer. We should just get everybody to just, hey, this is your weekend share with us where you've been with God. Because the stories you will hear just hear, they will encourage you. 

The days that you'll be freaking out and you just think of Nadia. You like you know what? Get over yourself. Get up and go.

If she can survive that. I mean, you can reconcile your brother killing your husband. How do you reconcile dealing with that? And then you still have to love your brother knowing of what he did and be in your right mind.  

Love God, raise them kids. All power, all power, all power in all mysteries of this Kingdom have been given to us. Not forget that, shut out this noise. Shut out this noise because the whole entire world is depending on us.  

The grace to heal a nation was not given to politicians. It was given to us if my people, who are called by my name, humble themselves turn from their wicked ways, seek my face. I will hear from heaven and heal the land.  

All smart people come together and created incredible policies. I will hear from heaven and heal their land. Not what it says. So which means all this stuff they are doing in the name of trying to fix the country.  

We all know it's wrong, why? Because that's not the methodology that God put in the scripture. His word is forever settled in the heavens. That's what it says. It's not changing because there's an orange guy.  

No, that's not how it works. It’s only going to work if you and I continue to carry the responsibility of carrying his dominion from one generation to the next. That's all. That's our responsibility.  

So we're going to end here. I don't want you to freak out you. We've already we talked about this last year that we're going to hear some crazy stuff. Just laugh it off because that’s the enemy trying to say hey and you know why the enemy is doing what he's doing now? 

Because the church went to sleep and forgot the Dominion and power that we possess, we started hanging out with them. So now instead of telling people to repent or we're gonna pray for you that God gives you more years.  

For what? To torment us? Just think about how are we praying for that? There's no responsibility. Let’s know the power that we carry. And once you know that access it, use it, use it, use it, use it because the devil is so quick to shrink. 

Once he knows that, you know very quick Amen, so I wanna encourage you guys if you are not the pairing that Vee put out last week, we have to be aggressive about this word and this Kingdom because I'm telling you, this year the goal of the devil is not to play games with us. 

It's to isolate you as much as he can because if I can do that, I'm good. He's got you so we got to get out of our comfortable zone. I had a pastor the other day preaching at the church.

He says if you are part of this church and you tell me you are in this church for six months and you don't have friends, I have a problem with that.  

So the reality, right? Let's continue from where we left last week, right where we paired the names that were paired. Did people get in touch with one another. If you didn't, please do because your stories are important and I know that.  

You know from last week, let’s continue from last week. Please, please, please, please share your stories. Or since I know the stories, yeah, I'm actually getting an idea since I know the different stories I'm going to assign.  

I'm going to assign people based on what I know because I think there are some people that need to hear other stories.

Now that I'm looking at it, I'm like, yeah, there's some people who need other stories and there's some people who need to feel a motherly love. Motherly touch.  

Yeah. So, so that's what I'll. I'll do this tonight before I go to bed and then I will send or I'll put two and two in a group text and me in it, right. So if I if I'm to text, let's say Nadia in Mother Mary, then I'll include all three in there text.  

Then you we can start from there, Amen. So Veronica and Calvin, they're going on a two week break, all right. I have a question Mississippi, you good, Debra you good? I have a question, yes. 

I have a question, Pastor Zee. You have a question I can hear you, sis. I have a question about the pairing up. Yeah, are we talking, praying about things that's going on in our lives? 

Are we talking about our past? Are we talking about? Just whatever the Lord, the Holy Spirit, I'm sure will tell you what to share? 

Like, again, I'm just saying to you guys, right? I know your stories for example, let me let me say this for example.

The reason and I'm sure most of you call me a friend. A brother is, you know, a son, right?. And the reason you we have this relationship that we have is because I know your story.  

You know my story, right? And the reason why we have this special bond where I can call you or you can ask me to do stuff or you can say hey can you do that is because we, it's called communion, common union, right. The spirit that's in you is the same spirit that's in me. If we are all born of Christ. 

So we are family in that regard because when Jesus came he came to start a whole entire family and his family is of believers. So just I don't want it to be like law, just let the Lord lead you.  

Because when the Lord leads you, you're going to discover something that you're like, Oh my God, I didn't know God could give me that. Example you always hear Veronica say Nadia, my daughter and Nadia is you know, talks to Veronica and Calvin when they come here.  

They go visit, you know she cooks over there, all kinds of stuff, right? Nadia's daughter comes over spend the night. We do whatever we do and the reason for that is because we know each other stories, we have accommodated each other's in life and hence has made this journey easy, easy.  

Because I can get in the car and drive to Nadia and say I'm hungry and she'll whip up something and that’s what it is? Because I know her story, she knows my story. So if that's across the board right then this life becomes easy, right. 

Because we are building the body of Christ. That's what we are doing. That's what we're are building a body of Christ. He says by this people would know that you are my disciple. Amen. Alright, so is everybody happy because, I'm happy. 

I'm happy Mother Carrie is happy, mother Carrie is happy then everybody should be happy. She is the seniors amongst us. So mother Carrie is happy, so everybody is happy. 

That's right Pastor. Mother Jones is good. Ronita good to see you, sis al right. Anything from me before we pray. Once, twice, here we go. Heavenly Father, we come before you. We thank you for your goodness and your mercy towards us. 

We stand here today understanding fully well. Who we are in you, what we possess and what we hold in our hands. As we soldier along this life with all that's happening around us. We thank you that we hold the keys that you left in our hands to access this Kingdom at will at any given moment.  

In fact we are carrying this Kingdom in our hearts. So I pray, Lord, that as we carry this Kingdom around the force and the authority and power it possess, we want it to be felt, touched, seen, experienced through us.  

Pray for courage, boldness, determination that God, we will know our rightful place and we’ll exert the force of this Kingdom through the blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. We thank you for making us a family.  

We were once strangest but now fully part of this community, the body of Christ that you are building through us, I pray for every family represented here. The challenges that we are experiencing or that we see.  

Thank you for reminding us that we are the antidote to those challenges. Pray for wisdom for every single here I pray for wisdom to execute and to do things that you have called us to do.

Pray for our children safe guard them protect them from harm seen or unseen. And may we adults teach our children and grandchildren the statutes of this Kingdom. 

So that when their turn comes they will also receive dominion and authority of this Kingdom, from our generation to their generation. There will be influences because of the blood of Jesus Christ.  

I pray for healing for sicknesses and disease. That God, none amongst us, would deal with challenges, physically or emotionally that seek to derail our lives. I pray that none amongst us would die prematurely.  

But God will live out the rest of our lives, whole, strong as we do the will of the Father in the earth. Now lead us in this coming week as we continue to execute the agenda of this Kingdom. Strengthen us in our minds.  

Strengthen us emotionally as we deal with all the different things that are thrown at us every single day, remind us as we hear and as we see that we hold the power because it has been given to us. Pray now for sweet dreams, inspiring dreams.  

So that we continue to be whole in you. We bless you and honor you for every family, every family, bless our children mightily with good jobs, good marriages. Thank you in Jesus name, Amen.
