Prayer Works Bible Study: March 10, 2024

Created for God's Glory

We are created for God’s glory. Glory is for God. The enemy tries to make it difficult for us to accomplish what we were created to become or do so that God will not get the glory.

In John 17:1, 4, 5, Jesus prayed “Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You,” and “I have glorified You on the earth. I have finished the work which You have given Me to do. And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.”

Although the devil has set up a hierarchy to mimic God and fight us from reaching our destiny, God has equipped us with everything we need to fulfill our purpose. We have to take a stand. Standing our ground only happens through prayer.

Abraham was told by God to build Him an altar and to give Him his very best—his son Isaac. It was a test of faith.

Like Abraham, we also have to build an altar for God. Our altar is not physical but spiritual. It is a place where we have a personal encounter with God. It is a place of forgiveness, worship, covenant with God, intercession, refuge, and comfort.

Hi everybody, you know, I don't know as we are here tonight I want you to think about maybe moving from six to seven because of the daylight changing it kind of got to me. You know, we can think about that, you know, because I know it's going to be lighter than this in the coming weeks. 

But anyway, nonetheless of course, the homework was to look at your gifts, your talents, the things that you are created to fulfill to do because God does not create anybody and never give them a specific task or a job or or a spiritual gift you know to do what they need to do 

Ken  please get on there because I need to see your eyes because this is probably going to be a very heavy, heavy, heavy you know, Bible study. Now that we have these spiritual gifts, these talents, these things that we recognize and identify.  

The scripture tells us that we were created for God's glory and the word glory means you have accomplished something or have gone through challenges or fought and then go to the other side and you now have victory, and that victory is for you, but the glory is for God.  

Why is glory for God is because the manifestations of the gifts that he put inside of you are now on display. So, this is why the issue of purpose in life, what was what am I here for? What was I created for?  

It seems to be a very challenging subject matter as it pertains to our existence, but it's not really bad because the enemy, what's his job to stop God from receiving his glory through our gifts and talent?  

So he's fighting us in the things that we were created to become or to do. So in other words, he tried to oppose those things, to make them difficult and challenging for you. Either to not even know or two then how do I make it difficult for you to accomplish anything through those gifts? 

Because if you don't, then God doesn't get his glory back. Which is watching you excelling. That's what the scripture says we were created for God's pleasure. His will is to watch us succeed so that he can get the glory.  

This is where when you see Jesus, he's about to die. Matthew 17, which is, by the way, the Lord's Prayer, not the Lord's Prayer that we call the Lord's Prayer. The Lord's Prayer, what we call the Lord's Prayer is the prayer for us.  

Where Jesus was teaching us how we need to pray. The times that Jesus prayed are far in between, recorded in the scripture, but we have a full exit of what that was like when Jesus prayed in John 17. So John 17 is the actual Lord's prayer. 

And in there you see, Jesus say now, Father, glorify me. Why is he asking to be glorified? Because what He came to do to accomplish He has done. Now I get the victory so now you can receive the glory of what I came to do.  

This is why the enemy fights us tooth and nail as it pertains to our destiny, our purpose, the things that we need to accomplish because God gets his glory. Isn't it amazing anytime you stand up and you say I want to do something.  

All hell breaks loose, why is hell breaking loose? It's not just opposition for opposition sake. It's opposition because if you decide to do something for God to fulfill God's mandate, you are going to face opposition.  

Not because people don't like you. It's not about people not liking you. It really is not about people not liking you, its about the enemy trying to make sure and to succumb that what God is trying to do in you so that he doesn't get his glory. 

So, purpose really what your purpose in life is so simple. That we convolute it, we make it really difficult. That we end up losing something that is so simple and make it something so difficult and most of you who have been in this Bible study, you understand that your purpose is in life is not your job.  

Your job is just how you earn a living to live in this world. Give unto Caesar what belongs to Caesar. So in this world, you have to work to eat, to go to school, to drive a car. You gotta work. 

How you work is really nothing to do with what your purpose in life is. Your purpose in life is the true essence of the most. I could say the greatest spiritual gift you possess that edifies you and it also edifies other people.  

Your purpose in life is actually tied to other people's problems. Because when you serve other people. They get to receive the gift of God and then God gets to be glorified. So, if you really want to know what your purpose in life, you just have to look at some of the strongest emotions positive that you carry.  

Your strongest emotion positives that you carry that aligns with your purpose. A person who's grieving needs somebody who's compassionate. And not everybody is compassionate.  

When some people hug you, you want to fight them. When some people hug you, you feel like God himself is hugging because the spirit behind the emotion, the strongest emotion behind that you carry that's your purpose.  

In other words, it's easy just check with your friends. They would tell you what they enjoy the most about you. If they don't, watch out. Get right with God, right. Now in that journey, in that journey of functioning in our purpose the enemy now comes and try to make sure either you don't identify it or two if you do identify it, you struggle in that same area.  

When you struggle in that same area his main goal is to make sure it's not really you. His main goal is to make sure that God doesn't get his glory through your life. The enemy is really mad about God.  

It's somebody is like me, being mad with Mary. Now when I see Mary's grandchild. Yeah, I'm just going to have an attitude too. And I'll do whatever it takes to make sure that, yeah, your grandmother, now you know what, the fruit doesn't fall far from the tree.  

You know, all that stuff we say that's what the enemy does to us. Its God's children yeah, I hate you too because of what he did to me. So you know what I'm going to stop you from going to where you need to go so that your Father doesn't get his glory as it pertains to your life.  

So, in the process of fighting us, right, there's 3 levels of strong men that the devil sends three of them. Jezebel, the spirit of death and hell and the Antichrist. Those are his big guns and below these three there are sub categories.  

Sub categories below these three. Just to stop you from getting to your destiny so that God doesn't get his glory. So, your rulers print and you see the list right in the book of Ephesians rulers, principalities, right.  

You've seen in fallen angels, I want you to hear these guys the scripture mentions in Hebrew 22 innumerable host of angels, right, countless indefinite number large numbers, enormous multitude.  

The Book of Revelations 5:11 it calculates at least 101 million total angels, according to the Book of Revelations. Revelation Chapter 12, these four calculates, at least at least 33,700,000 fallen angels.  

But what this scripture doesn't tell us is how many millions of demons we can only cast out one. Then we find out there is more in a person. We don't know where they came from because we do not have in the scriptures doesn't tell us. 

When demonic spirits were created, it was probably 3 hour existence and they tell you the truth. If you ever cast a demonic spirit it’ll tell you, yeah, I am a demonic spirit. They don't tell us where they came from, but they just tell you.  

Yeah, I am here. And so now we have this world that exists because demonic spirits are not angels. So, we have the angelic fighting us in our destiny. Many of these spirits that are fighting us in our destiny. 

One man in the scripture had 6000, 6000 demons in him. Just think about that, just to stop him from going where he needed to go. That's the opposition that we have and within this structure, guys within this particular structure of angels and demons and spiritual warfare, there is hierarchy.  

At the top death and hell, Jezebel, Antichrist. Below that just as much as there's God and his three angels, He set up his own hierarchy too, just like God to mimic what God was doing. Just to fight you to not get your destiny so that God doesn't get his glory. Yeah. 

Pastor Zee, can I ask you something because you just said I know you said God has three archangels. I know about Michael and Gabriel. And is the other one Rafael, or is that just a myth? No Lucifer. He was one of the three is one of the three archangels. 

OK. No, I mean I I studied other books, so Milton's John Milton's Paradise Lost, and he talked about. So I just wanted to clarify that. So its Michael, Gabriel and Lucifer. So that's the one that loses his position and he drags along everybody under his wing.  

Then he set up his own Kingdom to oppose what God. This is why the first original sin is a mind that exalts itself of for above the knowledge of who God is. This is why the scripture keeps talking about your mind, your mind, your mind.  

Watch your mind, watch your mind why? Because it's so easy to exhort yourself for about the knowledge of who God. And that doesn't mean in good things. When God says I can heal your sickness and you says I don't think so.  

Your mind is exalting itself or above the knowledge of who He is. So it's not really about just the positive, it's also about the negatives that we think. So in that whole hierarchy, this is a set up just to make sure you don't get to your destiny to the chain of command. 

So in this in this crazy arrangement, our interference with that comes now when we have to set up spiritual warfare. Some call it warfare ground level warfare, buying these strong men, we have to take part into that.  

How we take part into that is not because we are strong is just let's go back to Mary's grandchild. I'm mad at Mary's grandchild because of what Mary did to me. But that same grandchild, right, they get an inheritance from Mary. 

From Genesis, from what Mary has went for and all the things that Mary has learned in college and now you are equipping your grandchild so that they can become like you. So in the process of us engaging the enemy, God does the same thing with us.  

I will equip you with everything that I designed to make sure that you are also victorious to make sure that when your time comes, you don't have to start from scratch. This is already set up for you, son.  

You already have an inheritance. You don't have to work hard, you don't have to spend money trying to pay for college, we paid. We have a college fund. So, God set up also for us our engagement in this matter is now what Ephesians talks about that.  

We have to take a stand say, hey, this rightfully belongs to me because my grandfather, my grandmother, gave this to me. That's our position, now our standing our ground only happens through prayer.  

You can never engage in a spiritual battle with anything physical. It has to be spiritual, too. That's why we talked about spiritual weapons a few weeks ago. You have to know those. But in the process, in the process of doing all this there is one thing that we always want to make sure is present and is part of this fight.  

Let's look at Abraham. Abraham, God speaks to Abraham, are you going to be the father of faith? I'm going to raise his son through you, who was going to carry your name and established this domain I'm talking about.  

Now as he is on that quest and journey of being faithful to God. The opposition is set up against him in all kinds of ways. From the test of patients, the test of integrity. Can you keep holding on to God's well?  

Now in the same process, let's look at the spirit of of Jezebel not saying that Sarah was Jezebel. I'm talking about the spirit behind. Now the spirit behind says hey, why don't you talk to your maid servants because I don't think you can fulfill this, right.  

Abraham had to fight that. Later on, as he takes his son to go sacrifice him. He is having all kinds of things in his head. Spiritual warfare, Antichrist, coming to oppose what God is trying to do he has to be victorious over that.  

But in the process of all these, God asked him to do one particular thing. It wasn't gathering the firewood. Says I want you to build me an altar in order to be victorious. I want you to be with me an altar and he tells him what he wants on that altar. 

Give me your very best, give me your very best and go on there and sacrifice your own son because I now have to test the faith that you possess. Without faith, it's impossible to please God.  

So it gets to a place now where he is to build an altar. Now, if he is the father of faith, and if we are all His children then. I would like to submit it to all of us. That we also have to build an altar in order to get where we need to go.  

So, we're going to talk about building an altar for God. So we talked about King about Abraham. So let's go through about what's an altar? An altar is a memorial to the place where God meets us.  

Altar presents a place of encounter, the occasion and place where we have a personal encounter with God. The Lord met Jacob when he was in crisis. The next day Jacob built an altar.  

Now we are not going, by the way, let me say this quickly. We are not going to build physical altars but we have to build spiritual altars. And altar symbolizes holiness and it represents the presence of God in our lives.  

An altar is a place of forgiveness, a place of forgiveness. An alter is a place of worship because remember in Genesis 22 when Abraham is taking his son, that's the first time the word worship is mentioned in the scripture.  

An altar is a place of covenant with God, with God, not you, with God makes a covenant with you a promise and He most times He attaches something to that covenant to that promise.  

An altar is a place of intercession. That's where we can go and pray, lay our request before God. An altar is a place of refuge and comfort. An altar is a gateway, it's a gateway into the spirit world to enforce what rightfully belongs to you. 

Why is an altar necessary? To worship, praise and communicate with God. Can we communicate with God all the time? Yes. But brothers and sisters, let me submit to you, there are times that we have to take a journey.  

Even though God can talk to you in your house, in your car, a job, but there are times ask Moses. He was speaking to Moses anytime anywhere, as long as he was working with him. But when it came to the time to give this man the 10 Commandments that will govern our world for the rest of its existence, Moses better climb Mount Sinai.  

We are not having this conversation while in your tent. You gotta come up here. So the man has to climb and take a journey to remove himself, Abraham to remove himself. So what I'm saying is it pertains to that is that once in a while you have to have some time that you can remove yourself from the world around you.  

So God can give you instructions and I would like to suggest to you every seven years of your life. You have every seven years from 7,14,21,28,35,42. What's the next one? 49, 56 you know the number, right.  

In all those years, you need to set some time aside. Every seven years, because your life changes every seven years, changes. So you have to set these times, mark your calendars like man I gotta get away, I got to remove myself.  

And just spend some time with the Lord, because look, the scripture says your word is a lamp unto my feet, right, the journey is marked by God's word. Now our lives are lived on levels experienced on stages.  

So, when you get to the next level, whatever that level is, you can't enter there without instructions. We've been talking about the Book of Proverbs. You can't go to the next level without instructions of sustaining that level.  

Because when you get up there, you're going to meet a whole different set of problems you have never dealt with. It's easy to be a janitor cause you just finished and go home but it's not the same thing to run the whole department.  

Because you're going to have to order some stuff, you're going to have to make sure everybody's paid. So, while everybody's sleeping, there's a whole different world all together that are wait for you.  

Different set of problems now you're going to have to fire some people. And in the process of doing that, you realize the person you want to fire just lost his son a child, and all this stuff is happening their life and you're like, man, can I do that? 

It's a whole different spiritual war that awaits for you. So in order for us to enter and by the way, right, this stuff is so easy to see that you are about to get into the next level. Opposition just kind of arises but what do we do?  

We either faint rather than build an altar. The passageway, a gateway to get to where we need to go. So, altars are necessary to worship God for thanksgiving, to make vows consecration unto God not to men unto God.  

Because Proverbs 10 is telling us this, we've been reading the book of Proverbs, right? It says, don't make vows to men. To God and if you make a vow to God, you best keep it because he ain’t playing with you.  

Altars are necessary to live a victorious life. Romans 8:37 for Thanksgiving Psalms 100:4. Altars than necessary for a blessed and satisfied life. Altars are necessary to meet God for divine intervention and breakthrough.  

Altars are necessary for healing, deliverance, provision, breakthrough, etc. Let me speak to Monica here for a little bit. We all know Monica's story, the whole of last year man, I'm looking for a job, I'm looking for a job. How many months was that, Monica? Six months. 

Six months of trying like Lord, what's going on? What's happening? And then remember when she came, she's like, well, I got a job, I'm moving to Huntsville. When you see stuff like that, Monica that's not where we fold our arms.  

That's where we're like God, I gotta build you an altar and thank you. I gotta build you an altar and bless your name. I gotta build myself an alter and thank God for provision as I'm entering into this next chapter.  

In so doing, you are now making an announcement that I have arrived. I now need instructions to function at this level. I'm finding it hard to sleep these days and I know why sometimes I find myself just sitting here down here, just weeping and praying to God. 

Because if something is coming and you know it and you can feel it build an altar, build an altar. If everything is breaking around you, yeah, something is coming. Altar is a place where one gains stability.  

It anchors you. I want you to imagine what your life will be like if you once you feel the presence of God and then you do it at these gems is where you can point. Isn't it amazing how all of us here, I know this for a fact all of us here we have stories.  

About man, I was going through this this time, and the Lord surely show up, right. And we can almost pinpoint difference. And if you actually study these things, you realize it happens at particular junctures of your life and it's not by mistake.  

And in those moments, we need to recognize Lord, I'm going to build you an altar. So an altar has ingredients, Abraham's given ingredients this is what I need you to do, right? We as Christians do not look to be sacrificial system of the Old Testament for salvation.  

We see that altars point to Jesus, Hebrews 13:10. In the Old Testament, altars were made of stones, wood but now the well the word teaches John 4:24. God is a spirit, A spiritual being and those who worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  

Consider the following passage scriptures, Genesis 12:6-9, right, Genesis chapter 13:4-18. It kind of gives us a layout of what was so read those as your homework. So here are the factors that are necessary in order for you to build yourself an altar at home.  

In your praying time where you set sight time aside where you were going through consecration. Genuine salvation, I mean this stuff that we were hearing, I was talking to Veronica last week.  

There's a pastor who just gave up his job a few months ago, and he decided he wanted to be an atheist and he is producing TikTok videos, just cursing God going nuts. And in less than two weeks, he has gained 2,000,000 followers, that man was not saved, he wasn't saved.  

Because the reality is that salvation is very difficult to lose. The only way you lose salvation if you violate the Holy Spirit. Because one scripture grabs hold of you, it institutionalizes you.  

You know how people go to prison and you hear somebody who's been institutionalized? Let's take for example, somebody who goes to prison for 35 years. How many people who come out of prison who've been there for 35 years can survive in this environment?  

What do they do, some of them actually go to length of trying to steal and go back because they've been institutionalized. So when you hear, Paul says I Paul a prisoner of Christ, he's telling you that I've been institutionalized in the word of God.  

That even if I go away from it for a bit I long for it that I just want to go back. That's all you want to do. So, that's why I say keep reading the word of God, because once it grabs hold of you become a prisoner to it.  

That even if you just spend a week without praying your heart starts feeling like you're you need to go back to prison, you can't live in this environment. So genuine salvation is necessary. Passion, hunger for the presence of God is necessary.  

1 Kings 5:5, King Solomon did what his forefathers could not do. I'm going to build God a place. Faith is important because in order to please God in anything you have to have faith that what I'm doing right now is going to get God's presence to come down here.  

Holiness and altar is a sacred place. You can’t just build an altar with filthy hands. That's why David could not build the church the sanctuary because, man, you killed somebody. That's where we need to be holy.  

In order for us to build a holy altar, we need to sanctify ourselves. We need to ask for forgiveness. So we can build ourselves a place where we say, Lord, now I need you to come down.  

Every person, if you're going to do this, you have to begin by yielding your heart and spirit unto the Lord. You have to yield your heart in spirit unto the Lord. Daily purify yourself, pray ask for forgiveness.  

So, in order to do this successfully, the first thing is to recognize that your life is an altar. Because the scripture says your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, right? That your body, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit.  

I heard one story, You know, I don't know why the Lord is doing this to me. I keep hearing very sad stories about pastors. I guess this is just to make sure hey, this can happen to anyone.  

He's a man of God from Florida. He decided that he wanted to go indulge himself. And nobody knows how long he's been doing this, but he did with somebody else somewhere. He had a heart attack and he dies.  

So I want you to imagine the last thing this man saw on earth before he  went to the other side and met the Lord. This subject matter, guys, when I'm saying that the enemy he is working relentlessly to stop you from going where you need to go so that your life doesn't give God's glory.  

That's why he even went to God before God about Job. So I know this man's life is giving you glory, but if you consider that if you remove all these things around him that all this glory will be taken away from him.  

So, we have to build altars of righteousness because they therefore build these altars. He does and some of them are live for us on TV. We are literally now watching people perform rituals on the Grammys because that's an altar.  

Isn't today Oscars, right? Yeah, that's an altar. And look at what they just show you to just show you how the devil mimics what the Lord does. Isn't it amazing you hear somebody says Oh once you get an Oscar Oh everything opens up for you, right?  

That's what they say in that world. Why is everything opening up for you because now you are being enshrined in this altar, so that whatever that is are waiting for you on the other side await for you.  

They only got that idea, they may not even know that's what they are doing, but they only got that idea because that's how God disseminate information to us. So, we too can build altars of wickedness.  

But we need to really start realizing that yearly when we start our year guys and we go through concentration and sometimes at the end of concentration, we just ready to be over and done with it.  

Instead, for us to really like man, let me put an order here. So that I can just stand out. Altars have power to bless or curse. So it's a place that can either attract blessings, or it also can attract curses.  

Altars can and do speak for generations. There's generations in the scriptures where God says now that you have come out here, I want you to build me an altar as a memorial of what I did here.  

The day we walked into this house. We are living in now, we stood down there and said, Lord, we want this house to belong to you. This is your house, we don't want any spirit that does not belong here to live here.  

Everybody who comes into this House, I want you to bless them. I want them to leave here with something tangible they can take to their own home, that's an altar. When God blesses you, don't be so quick to run to vacation and enjoy yourself.  

Put a memorial to thank Him. Spiritually, who can build an altar? Anyone can usually an altar is built after a revelation of God. So when God reveals something to you, God does not give revelation because he has nothing better to do.  

He gives you revelation because you want something done. Hence, it's not wise to build an altar when you know God is not about to reveal himself to you, or you don't know that this is the season for me to do it.  

God knows what can come and sit on that altar. Have you ever noticed someone who God is using, right and word gets out that men God is moving over there. Have you ever noticed that person is automatically start getting invitations to appear in certain places.  

Now there's a lot of people that lack wisdom in this because they're like, oh, man, oh, my star is rising. No, your star ain’t rising. Then therefore knows what card to play. So all of a sudden, oh man oh we inviting you to come to the Breakfast Club. Ah man, what an opportunity. 

Nah, it's not an opportunity, that's not an opportunity you are going at an altar because the devil knows. How can I get you, going in an altar. This is why you always realize when that happens peoples lives then always tend for the worse, always the results are endless.  

We can look at our culture always turn for the worse. And you always hear these stories oh man, he was really rising things were happening for him and boom. Cause you sat at the wrong altar, sat at the wrong altar.  

Because I'm telling you, the devil is always looking to attach himself with someone who's going somewhere. If he can get you, if he can get you, I'm going to source seeds in your field.  

And for the rest of your journey, you're going to be dealing with these weeds. I'll be dealing with them that's why you should never cut corners. That's why you should stay sometimes in struggle instead of wanting to get out of it fast because, well, the pain is too real.  

Imagine if Isaac after he's dead, he tied him on his hands and he's laying over there. What if the boy just he said no, I'm not doing this can you imagine the fight between him and Abraham? 

Even the lamb that was caught in the Bush, who probably like I gotta get out of here. All this is to recognize that our journey as gifted, as equipped as we are. The devil wants to make sure that your life does not give God glory.  

So I want to get you, how can I get you. And then sometimes we're thinking it's about us it's not about us. Now, how many times should we go to the altar or a place of meeting when you get a revelation from God when he's showing you that I'm with you, I'm present.  

Is that the best time to go spend time with him? Scripture says in the time of rain, ask for rain right when you feel the presence of God, I'm telling you, let me tell you guys. Let's say you're praying or you are in worship at the house.  

And you really feel the presence of God. You know, those times you are in your own little corner, crying, weeping, singing non-stop time just stops. Do not run out of that rather, actually forgo some things.  

If you were supposed to go to the supermarket to buy groceries, just push it for tomorrow. Because in those times, right, we have to maximize, Amen. All right so as often as you can when you get Gods revelation and when you feel the spirit is moving.  

You gotta have alright. Here are a few things always have your spiritual playlists of music. That if you really want to worship the Lord, know your songs. Know which songs take you there, you gotta know it, you gotta know.  

Five at least, I got mine. I have my playlist that when I really feel when I want to go somewhere. Yeah, this is my go to move. That's your ingredients, know which scriptures which Bible chapters that you go to in your times of study.  

You have to have them. Know your favorite prayers in the scriptures and there's thousands of them in the scriptures, memorize them. Mine is Psalms 91, know it in and out. Cause those are your ingredients.  

Know, your ingredients, what are my ingredients? We can't be Christians for years and not know the ingredients of building an incredible altar for the Lord. We've got to know this stuff, right.  

Conditions for the altar, it must make contact with God. It must move God to take action, right. Abraham built his, it was really done well. And when Abraham was getting ready for God, I was like, oh, wait a minute God takes action, right.  

Your altar must leave an impact to you and to the people around you. They have to notice listen. When Moses went up Mount Sinai, when he came down, the scripture says the children of Israel could not look him in the eye.  

So they couldn't look him in the eye, Why? Because he was in the presence of God, so his face is glowing. Now we should hear in our in our 21st century churches always here, you know. This one is gone on sabbatical, this one is gone on sabbatical. 

And they come back you're like, huh? where is the glow? Where is it? We don't see it. We don't feel it, we don't touch it. Listen, if any one of us here spends a week weeping and crying in prayer for God. 

I can guarantee you that the moment you show up on this screen, we will know. We will know. We must succeed in connecting with God and leaving until he comes. See Jacob fought an Angel all night, all night. 

He's like I ain't letting go until you bless me, I ain’t moving until you bless me. Then you must listen to the Holy Spirit. That's part of the ingredient, listen to the Holy Spirit. All right, in a few weeks time yeah. Veronica, please, remind me. I'm probably going to forget this.  

We'll look at breakthrough altars, righteous and evil altars, right and what else did I put here, effective altars. Because I want us to really understand that this month that we have this year possess so much power, so much power.  

I don't think we understand what this thing can do this year. I don't think we understand. And we need to recognize how powerful our mouths are. If we learn to build, now imagine if you learn to build an altar and then you can open your mouth and pray on that altar.  

What level of impact can you carry and then am I good on time? You are good. The goal is to grow guys. Don't want to just be yeah, I'm a Christian, no, no, no we want to be impactful people.  

Our families need us, our children need us, grandchildren needs us. Our Co workers need us and what's coming need us. We can be weak Christians, we want to be strong. Wouldn't it be amazing if you can just walk in the hospital and just lay hands on people? Say in the name of Jesus, be healed. 

You guys are meeting people with gun violence some don't want to do Jack or change, and you can just lay your hands, say in the name of Jesus, transform this man. And you don't have to have a lot of conversations. 

One of a telltale sign that you are in the word of God and that you're walking circumspectly before him. You spend less time counseling people because the word of God is enough, it's really is enough.  

When you're trying to add your own little sauce, something has gone wrong somewhere. The problems that are coming our way, the generation that's behind us and what they are facing needs us to go to a higher level.  

The problem with 21st century change has looked at the next level as blessing driving a better car, living in a better house isn't that a waste of anointing? Can you imagine spending years and years praying to God, going through what you go through to get anointed so you can drive a better car?  

That's, this is how we think, this is how we are thinking. Living in a better neighborhood, how about lay hands on the whole hospital and get healed? Wouldn't that be a greater cause?  

How about laying hands on cancer patients and they recover, isn’t that a greater cause, greater use of anointing. Rather than you know what yeah, I'm going to build an altar to God. I need to go to the next level, what's the next level? 

I can go shop at whatever Sephora I don't know whatever people's shop from. That's what we are using the anointing for. That's what we used in the anointing for. Of all the problems that are in the world, that's the next level? 

Just think of all that especially I'm telling you, grandmothers grandfathers here. Please, Mary Hear me, ok. Mama, Sergeant, Papa Sargent hear me and hear me well. Don't get to the end of your life and leave this world without leaving a spiritual legacy, don't do it.  

You can do anything else, but just don't do it. That's where we need to build these altars. So that our spiritual legacy that we leave for our children and our grandchildren to know that 4 generations from now Mary, they will walk in this Kingdom because I left a legacy.  

That's the next level, not to drive a cute car and electrical car. Pastor Zee, can I tell you something? That's what I'm trying to do right now, but I need Veronica, you gave me your phone number I gotta ask you something. 

And I know it's embedded in my e-mail. I know this is not the time to be interrupting, but this goes with what you're saying about leaving a legacy. Kendra just informed me she's got my video ready for my YouTube channel so that I can help people to write.  

It’s only just to help people to write their stories, but I want to branch out to create a memory journal, memory book for people who are in grief counseling and everything I want it to be big.  

But anyway, Veronica, I got a question because I think maybe you and Calvin can help me. And can you send me your phone number again yes, yes, I'll put it, I'll put it in. Yeah, it's in my e-mail somewhere, but I don't feel like looking. It's OK. I'll put it in the chat for you. 

Oh, ok, thank you. I'm sorry to disrupt you, but this is what you were talking about. Leaving a legacy Pastor Zee, this is what I've been working on. That's why we need to really get on this year, you know. 

Get on this year, let's get on it, let's get on it. You know, we have children that are growing. All of us Kim Kimberly Hutchings, you have a daughter growing. Grandkids will be coming in a few years time, Latoya same thing.  

All those are milestones, your child turning 18 is a milestone. Pray don't throw, we throw parties that we buy balloons, we buy all of that stuff but the necessary spiritual things that we need to make sure that all these are milestones, right.  

You turning 40, 50, it's a milestone. Don't just throw yourself a party take some time and just build an altar, thank the Lord. I'm 70 now, thank the Lord that I went through civil rights. I went through the drug addiction in the 80s. 

I went through presidents being shot. Aids pandemic, COVID pandemic, Adopting kids all that. Those are milestones that we need to set aside some time to just build ourselves in altar because we are going to the next level when you do that.  

The blessing of the Lord makes us rich and adds no sorrow. If you gain something and its adding sorrow, not of the Lord. Let us pray. In fact, Kimmy from North Carolina. Can you can you do me a favor?  

All right, before I go to before we go to guys starting next week, right, we're in the book of Proverbs. I hope all of you have signed up to take a day and just share one of the chapters of Book of Proverbs. 

If you haven't I'm not asking you, I'm telling you because I want all of us to grow. Because you know, it's part of our job for all of us to grow. So Kim has seen the John's family, LaToya.  

If you can grab a day and just say on this day this I'm going to, I think we're going through the entire book of proverbs. We can pick a chapter and just share. You know, let's hear you, what the Lord is saying in your life and encourage us.  

We are all needy. We all need to hear from each other. So, Veronica how many people you got? We have, let's see on this call we have oh miss Dorothy, Debbie, Miss Ware. I'm missing someone I'm missing someone, Oh, yeah. Dorothy, Kim, Debbie, Miss Ware.  

All right, Monica, you have a day. Sorry, the Lord has done so much for you, you got a day. Any day of the week of the 25th. Because that’s what Kim has. 

You know, I'm playing the Big Brother bully card now. Kim, you know, e-mail Veronica and pick a day that you can share one of the proverbs. Latoya, same thing. Laris too same thing. 

God has, listen, God is using all of us and part of your growth is being able if in fact you have no choice because the older we get, we have to teach, we have to, it's our responsibility.  

All right, Kim, Kimberly from North Carolina. Pray for us and then the other, Kimberly, pick a day because you are sharing in the morning, one of the early morning calls. 

Dear heavenly Father, We come today to give You things to give You glory, to give You honor, Father God, we give You thanks for Pastor Zee. We thank You we ask that everything that he poured out to us today, that it will be applicable to our lives and that we will apply it daily, Lord God,

Just to rest, rule and abide in each and every one of us. Anoint our heads with oil, let our cups overflow. Let's share word Lord God full from us Lord God, let it be like rivers of living water. 

Lord Jesus, we are asking you right now, let it be like fire shut up in our bones. Write Your word on the contents of our hearts that we sin not against You. In His name Your name Jesus as we ask these things, Amen.
