Good morning, everybody! I'm excited to be here.
Now, what we're going to be doing is praying and fasting, meaning that we are in a season of prayer and fasting. There are many of you who are seeing this for the first time. Maybe you were not praying or fasting with us, but the key when you're praying and fasting is aligning yourself to hear the voice of God.
So, the fact that you are here today means that you have been aligned to hear the voice of God. What I want to do is see the people that will share, comment, and like. I want you to participate in this broadcast. Even if it means that you're seeing the broadcast after, it doesn't matter. You have to make sure that you like, comment, and share.
Now, this is going to be just a beautiful moment in the presence of God because there are so many things that we want to say and declare. My prayer is that every person coming in, every individual that is a part of this broadcast, will be able to receive from the Spirit of God.
So, blessings, everybody! Blessings, blessings, blessings!
Now, yesterday before I slept, I was in meditation about what we would be praying for today, and I felt like we should pray to reclaim lost domains. We are praying to reclaim lost domains.
The key scripture for today is Ecclesiastes 10:7, which says, "I have seen servants upon horses and princes walking as servants upon the earth."
Now, that scripture seems simple when you read it like that because it just means that servants are on horses while princes are walking on foot. But what you need to understand is this: for me to fully explain what this means, I need to take you to the story of Mephibosheth.
Mephibosheth was the son of a king, or a grandson of a king, meaning that he was a prince. But when Mephibosheth was staying where he was, guess what happened? The servant that was in charge of his father's household was the one that was in authority. This servant claimed a position of authority and wealth that was supposed to be Mephibosheth's.
Let me give you an example that is easy for you to understand. The Bible says, "An heir, as long as he is a child, is no different from a servant, though he is Lord of all." This means that the heir is no longer in charge of the estate because they are not spiritually mature.
Many of you, there is a maturity that is required for God to release authority to you to reign in this life. Many of you are living as servants, maybe like Mephibosheth, when you are supposed to be a prince. But guess what? Ziba is the one that is in charge and the one that is in authority.
So, when you're looking at that scripture, it shows that princes are in authority while servants are in authority, whereas princes are walking on foot. That's the story for many of you that are hearing me. There are places where you are working where you're supposed to be in authority, but you're a servant. There are nations where you are working where you're supposed to be in authority, but you're a servant.
And we're correcting that today. We are saying, "Father, we reclaim our position of authority. Father, we reclaim our thrones. Father, we reclaim our lost domains." We refuse to live as servants when we are princes.
So, we're going to just pray. We're going to be going back and forth on the teaching because there are things that we need to do, but we're also going to be praying.
The first prayer point is this: it's a prayer for revelation of position and inheritance.
You will say, "Father, open my eyes to the reality of my spiritual position and inheritance that you have given to my forefathers, my family, and even to me. Any unclaimed throne, domain, dominion, or heritage that is key to fulfilling your word, let it be released in Jesus' name."
Let me explain this prayer point. Each and every family has a domain that is theirs. Each and every individual has a domain that is theirs. But many people are walking in poverty when there are domains that they are supposed to be in charge of.
So, you're praying and saying, "Father, open my eyes today so that I can know and reclaim the domains that You have given to me and my family. Any promise that you gave to my forefathers, any promise that you gave to my mother, any promise that you gave to my father, any promise that you gave to a family that wasn't fulfilled, Father, give me access to it. Any claim, anything that is over my life that is not being released, Father, release it to me."
That is what we're praying for.
Let us just pray.
Oh, blessed Father, we thank you and we give you praise. We declare and we decree that, Father, every lost domain, every inheritance, Father, we pray for revelation of our position and inheritance. We pray and we say, "Father, open our eyes to the reality of our spiritual position. Open our eyes to the reality of what we possess and what we have. Open our eyes to the reality of what you have said for us."
Father, we reclaim every domain. We reclaim every dominion. We reclaim everything that you have said for us in the name of Jesus.
And we declare and we decree that by your Spirit, Lord, we declare and say, "Father, open my eyes. Father, open my eyes to the reality of my spiritual position. Open my eyes to the reality of my spiritual position. Open my eyes to the reality of my spiritual position. Open my eyes to the reality of my spiritual position. Show me my inheritance, O Lord. Show me my inheritance, O Lord. Show me my inheritance, O Lord. Show me my inheritance, Lord."
Father, open my eyes, Almighty God. Father, open my eyes in the name of Jesus to my inheritance, to my spiritual position in the name of Jesus.
Now we're praying, we're praying, we're praying.
Now we're declaring this: the Bible says servants are on horses while princes are walking on foot. What does it mean? It means that the servants are the ones in authority.
Let me explain again. The Bible says, "An heir, as long as he is a child, is not different from a servant, though he is Lord of all, but is under tutors and governors."
Meaning that if you do not have maturity, if you're not mature as a Christian, what was yours is given to others. Why? Because of your immaturity.
Now, as I was meditating yesterday, I asked myself, how does a Christian mature? Many Christians assume that maturity comes from reading the word of God and from prayer. Not really. Spiritual maturity doesn't come from reading the word of God nor from prayer. It comes from reading the word of God and receiving revelation.
It's about prayer and having understanding. You can read the word of God and fail to comprehend. Many people read the word of God from a place of religion. They wake up, say a demon wanted to attack them. No, you're reading from a place of religion. You are not reading from a place of being enlightened or awakened to the reality of what the scripture says.
The Bible says, "The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life." So, the word of God is more than just a way for you to read. It's a portal, a gateway to have access to the full blessing of God for your life.
So many people are reading the word of God, but they are not... How can I say that? Yes, reading the word of God is key to your growth, but the way that you're reading is wrong. You're reading from a place of religion. You should read to receive revelation and understanding.
Read so that God speaks to you through the word. Read so that God reveals Himself through the word. After prayer, prayer is a place of discovery where I discover the voice of God.
So, spiritual maturity comes, yes, from reading the word, but not just reading the word, but having understanding and revelation through the reading of the word. Many read the word of God religiously; that's why they are not growing.
But what I want you to do today is say, "Father, I'm going to grow up. I'm going to come into maturity. I'm going to grow up."
Come on, share this live broadcast!
Father, I'm going to grow up. I'm going to grow up. I'm going to grow up. I'm going to grow up. I'm going to grow up.
And the Bible says, "An heir, as long as he is a child..." What I want you to declare over your life is, "I will refuse to be a baby. I refuse to be a baby."
Father, open my eyes to the reality of your word that I might come into maturity. Father, help me to come into maturity. Help me to come into maturity. Help me to come into maturity. Help me to come into maturity. Help me to come into maturity. Help me to come into maturity.
In the name of Jesus, I want you to declare, "I'm coming up to maturity." As you're declaring this, you are sharing in the name of Jesus.
Let me just say something that will shock you. Do you know that when you're reading the word of God, when you are in fellowship with God through His word, yes, the discipline of just reading the word of God every day is necessary. But do you know that you can read the Bible every day from January to December, but yet there is a day that you just read the word of God, and then all of a sudden, it’s as if your eyes have been opened?
It's as if the way that you understood the scripture is different. It's as if how God was speaking to you is different. Why? It is because the scripture has come alive.
Have you ever read something? I've done that. I've done that where I'm reading the word of God every day, then I suddenly read just a scripture, and all of a sudden, what God is saying to me through that scripture is different. It's different. It's like I'm receiving fresh understanding, fresh revelation.
It's like He is speaking to me in a new way. You know, you can read the word of God, which says, "The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want," and then as you're reading it, you say, "But why am I in poverty?"
You say, "Oh, why am I in poverty? The Bible is saying, 'The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.' Why am I in poverty? Why do I have want?"
Then all of a sudden, you say, "No, I refuse to be poor. I refuse to be poor." And then all of a sudden, you recognize that you have a certain posture, a certain understanding, a certain revelation that is key to your next level.
You say, "Father, reveal Your word to me. Cause me to come into maturity. Cause me to come into maturity. Cause me to come into maturity. Cause me to come into maturity."
I claim the domains that God has given me. I claim the domains of media. I claim the domains in the name of Jesus. People are coming. I claim the domains of wealth. Declare it! I claim the domains of wealth. Wealth, money is coming.
Don't lose hope! You have authority. Speak from the place of authority. Don't be a victim. You have dominion. The challenge is we are being victims as Christians. Don't be a victim. Speak from a place of dominion.
No, don't be a victim. Don't be a victim. Do you know who you are? You are a prince!
We are speaking about authority, and you're like, "I'm about to lose hope." How can you lose hope when you're a child of a king? Speak to the situation!
It is high time that we mature as Christians. We don't speak from a place of defeat. We don't speak from a place of weakness. We speak from a position of wealth, a position of influence.
Now, there's the second prayer point we're going to pray.
Prayer number two: Pray to activate buried gifts.
Pray and say, "Father, any hidden gift, Father, any gift that I have hidden, buried, or neglected due to ignorance, which is vital for my lifting and purpose, allow me to activate it today in Jesus' name. Any gifting that is vital to my lifting, allow me to activate it in the name of Jesus."
Any gifting that is vital to my lifting means that God, when you were in your mother's womb, gifted you and gave you a gift and a talent that is key to your next level. Meaning that you carry a gift. You are enabled by the Spirit of God to walk in certain giftings.
Let me just repeat: I want to help people today. When we are praying from a scripture that says, "I have seen servants on horses," a horse is a place of authority.
Then he says, "I have seen servants on horses and princes walking on foot," meaning that the servants are in authority because the princes are immature.
So we are saying we need to grow up. One of the ways that you grow up, or one of the areas that you grow up in, is by understanding the gifting that you carry.
You are gifted! I want you to say to yourself, "I am gifted." Say to yourself, "I am gifted."
But as you are gifted, it's not enough to be gifted. You need to understand your gifting.
The challenge that we have... I remember that I taught on spiritual gifts. The challenge that we have is we are blinded to what gifts are in Christ.
Do you know that you can have a gift of just being someone who communicates? You're able to communicate with others well. You're able to put things together. That's a gift!
Gifts are not merely tools that are used in the church. Gifts are enablements that God has given you for your success.
We hear the Bible of people that had so much wisdom. Do you know that there is a person with a gift of wisdom? I've got a gift of wisdom, meaning that if God allows me to speak to any person, even a king or a president, I'll carry wisdom in that realm that they have never heard before.
I've got a gift of wisdom. But the key is when you are gifted, it's to pray to realize your gift and for God to release you in an area where your gift matters.
So we are praying for spiritual maturity, but we're also praying for you to mature in your gifting and your area of purpose.
So you're going to pray with me and say, "Father, every gift that is hidden that I have intentionally hidden, Father, let it be unlocked in the name of Jesus. Let it be unlocked in the name of Jesus. Let it be unlocked in the name of Jesus."
Come on, share this live program! Let it be unlocked! Raise your voice in prayer!
Any hidden gift, Lord! Father, any hidden gift, Lord! Father, any hidden gift, Lord!
Father, someone says, "Pray that I'll be able to get out of a wheelchair. I've been in the wheelchair and I want to pray that I'll get up in Jesus' name."
One of the signs that will come right now is your hearing me. To show that you're going to walk up from that wheelchair, you're going to feel heat on your spinal cord, on your back. There will be heat that you're feeling. The heat is coming from the presence of God because God is touching you.
The heat is going to be just a bit intense on certain points, like three points on your back, because that's where the healing is required, and God is perfecting you.
So, guys, we are still praying.
Prayer number three: Pray for maturity through revelation.
Now, I'm going to go back to what I was saying. Do you know that many of you, when you receive a word... Let me just give this a simple scenario. When you receive a prophetic word, what it is, it is revelation.
But sometimes it's receiving revelation which doesn't have foundation. So sometimes what you then do is you put your foundation under the revelation to support it so that the foundation or the word shall not be lost.
So let me read this: "Father, allow me to mature through revelation of your word. Position me to take realms and places of authority you have ordained for me to walk in today. I declare that every delay is broken, and I walk in dominion in Jesus' name."
Every delay is broken!
You're praying to receive revelation. You're praying to receive understanding.
Let me explain. I was saying that you can read your Bible from Genesis to Revelation but yet not receive revelation when you're reading it. Why? Because you're reading it from a place of religion.
Do you know that I'll give you an example? How many have read the Bible in the book of Chronicles? The first Chronicles, when they'll be saying those names, how many say, "You know what, man of God, the truth is that place is a bit boring"?
Because you'll be reading, "This one begat this one, and this one begat this one," especially the beginning of Numbers. You'll be like, "What's wrong? This one begat this one, this one begat this one, this one begat this one."
And you know what? I don't know what's wrong with the body in this generation.
Terry, Apostle, it's a bit different than all the other places that you've been in. You have to be a student.
Terry Ted says, "Apostle, I have no hope." I said, "Terry, at times the challenge we have in Christianity is we don't know that we have authority. We have been given authority."
I know we'll be going through situations, but there are times when you have got to stand in a place of authority, not in a place of defeat.
Yes, you have no children, you have no this, you have no that, but in this place where we are teaching about authority, it is the right time for you to speak over your life, not to tell us what the enemy has done, but tell us what you want God to do.
Stand in a place of authority!
The challenge we have in this day and age, especially in Christianity, is we are raising victims—people who are dependent. "Man of God, just pray for me."
My sister, my brother, you have authority! You have authority! You have authority!
The Bible says, "All power has been given unto me," and then He gave us the authority. He gave us the power.
So stop being a victim! Stop being a victim!
Some of us enter into prayer and we're like, "You know, Father, I'm suffering. Father, things are not well."
Pray for revelation and understanding!
Stop being a victim! Stop trying to get people to understand your situation. Stop trying to get people to sympathize with you. You have authority!
Now, I was speaking about the Bible. Sometimes when you get in the word, you get to this one begat this one, this one begat this one, and it seems as if there is no revelation there.
Many of you skip the names, but you know what God did one day with me? He said, "Take each name."
Because we're speaking about revelation, read the meaning of the name of the father and the meaning of the name of the son.
Do you know that the name of Methuselah means "son of war"? The son of Enoch, his name is "son of war."
And then other people say, "When he dies, it will come." So the name of Methuselah is prophetic.
You're thinking that the Bible is just telling us names? No! The Bible is not telling us names; it's speaking about how each name had a prophetic importance to the destiny of the generation that would come.
So when you're reading the word of God, it is telling you to pay attention to the names that are above you.
Some of you, your family names—no, not the one that you know, not the one that you know—the family names.
Some of you, do you know that you have got names over your family that you don't know? Names that were said over your family that you don't know? Things that were said over your family that you don't know? Covenants that were said over your family that you don't know that are responsible for some of the delay that you've been facing?
So the Bible, when it is showing you this one begat this one, is showing you that a name is the one that is giving authority to the enemy to do certain things in a person's life in a certain season.
So what do you do when you are praying? Then all of a sudden, God changes your name.
Why did God push to change the name of Abraham? Because He understood that his name was speaking over his destiny.
Why did God change the name of Sarah? Because He understood that the name was speaking over her destiny.
Why did God change the name of Jacob? Because He knew that the name was speaking over his destiny.
So there are names that are speaking over your destiny. There are names that are speaking over your life that have to be corrected so that you walk in the authority that God has ordained for you.
You walk in the authority that God has ordained for you.
So I want you to say to yourself, "Father, give me revelation that I might know."
Give me revelation! Give me revelation, Lord! Open my eyes to know!
Oh Lord, Father, help me to mature through revelation. Help me to mature through revelation.
Father, help me to mature through revelation. Father, help me to mature through revelation.
In the name of Jesus, Father, we pray!
Father, we pray!
That's deep! That's deep!
There are things that we... In the afternoon, we were not going to have prayer. We were going to replay this specific teaching, but we're going to be having communion in the afternoon because there are some of you that are going to break away from certain limitations that have been over your life.
So today, at 3 p.m., we're going to be having communion, and I'm going to teach a bit on communion in the afternoon, then we have communion because there are things that we are correcting, imbalances that we're breaking that need to be broken today.
So we're going to have communion in the afternoon.
So when we have communion, I remember there is a man of God who says that at their church, they'll be having prayer and fasting, let's say, from 6 to 6.
Some of the people, when they are taking communion, they'll bring a loaf of bread like this for them to have communion. But we're just going to have communion. It's going to be simple, it's going to be plain, it's going to be easy, but it's going to allow us to be able to tap into what God is saying.
So today, I seem as if I'm slowing down a bit, but I'm not.
There is a blog that is going to be sent to your emails that is on our website, which is titled "Servants on Horses: The Urgent Call to Spiritual Maturity."
So it's a teaching that is key for today's prayer and fasting. Apostle Alice will teach because I believe that in the teaching ministry, that is where people are equipped.
Some people enter into prayer, but what they are praying is they are affirming the bondage that they are in and they are strengthening the chains of the enemy over their lives, even in prayer, because they are coming into prayer defeated.
What I'm trying to teach somebody here online is that most of the time, what we have produced are Christians that are weakly and that are sickly.
I'm sorry to use these words, but that is the reality—people who are defeated.
Someone enters into prayer. Let me give you an example. A lot of Christians, even after prayer, will be like, "Things never work out for me. I've tried. Things don't happen for me. I don't know why. I always pray and things don't work out."
So why are you praying? Why are you praying if you say, "I always pray and things don't work out"?
So meaning that you're praying wrongly.
So we have got people that are very prayerful but that are very defeated. Why? It is because your prayer is not what gives you authority; it's your understanding.
The revelation that you receive during prayer awakens you to the domains and the dominions that you're supposed to have access to.
So many of you, the challenge is though you're very prayerful, you don't understand the posture of authority that you're required to have for you to walk in victory.
So we are raising victims. We are raising defeated people. Why? It is because people are refusing to stand in a place of authority.
David had people that we call the Mighty Men of David. One of these men killed 800 men with one spear.
How can you kill 800 people with one spear? These were strong men, men that were enabled by the Spirit of God to do and to accomplish the impossible.
We are in a generation that is supposed to accomplish the impossible.
Joy, dear daughter, in this coming season, joy in this coming season because you came to see me with your husband. There is increase that's coming over your lives.
Guys, even from the time that you saw me, there is a shift already that has begun to happen.
It is time for you not to be victims anymore to the situations and the circumstances that you've been through.
It is time for you to be awakened to the reality of the place of blessing that you've been called to walk into.
The first thing that I pray for you is restoration.
I know I'm always speaking about the property business, but I see God giving your husband in this coming season a truck.
I don't know how it's going to happen, but I see God giving your husband a truck.
You know, sometimes we go through certain situations because already in the timeline of God, you are supposed to already have a... not a trucking company, but you know, sometimes because we don't push enough in the spirit, we live defeated lives.
And because of the defeat, we don't claim the inheritances and the blessings we're supposed to claim.
Many of you, there are inheritances that are tied to your maturity spiritually.
When we're talking about spiritual maturity, we're talking about posture and position that is key for you to exercise the dominion that you've been given.
But I said spiritual maturity doesn't come from reading the word of God in prayer alone. It comes from reading the word of God and revelation from the word.
Because some of you, you have skipped certain postures of the Bible because they were...
I remember a few days ago, I was reading, and I was sitting and I was asking a question. Then God says, "Go to the Book of Ezekiel."
In the Book of Ezekiel, there is a part in the portion which says, "The water came to the knees, the water came to the waist."
The water raised, and when the water was at a certain position, it began to flow all over the city.
The water that flowed from the east caused healing into the sea.
You know, there are portions like that when you're reading, measuring the cubits of the church, and then the water rising.
It can be frustrating, but the reason why God is pushing you to read that is because it's trying to make you understand that I am a God of instruction.
If I'm going to tell you to rebuild your life, I'll give you the specifications from detail to detail, from point to point.
So it's not about reading just to know how God rebuilt the Temple of Jerusalem. There's no way that it edifies you or helps you, but it's about reading and understanding how God is specific when He's rebuilding your life.
It shows you the specifications of God's ways when He's rebuilding your destiny.
So many people, they read the word of God from a place of religion where they want to quote what that scripture is saying.
But we are at a posture and at a position that allows God to help us to understand who we are by looking at the details that are in scripture.
I hope you understand what I'm saying.
So today, we are taking a posture where you're saying, "Father, give me revelation so that I might mature."
Let me read the next prayer point.
So you're going to read the blog after this. You're going to read the blog after this, and it's going to be just amazing.
It's going to be amazing. It's going to be amazing.
Maturity comes through revelation. It's not enough to simply read the word of God or engage in prayer without understanding.
True growth happens when the word of God becomes alive in your spirit.
The Bible declares, "The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth life."
Revelation transforms information into power, equipping believers to walk in their given authority.
So that's in the blog for today, so please go to the blog, and it's going to bless you.
Now, prayer point number four: Prayer to refuse servanthood and embrace sonship.
Prayer to refuse servanthood and embrace sonship.
Come on, share this live program if it's blessing you! Share this live program if it's blessing you!
On YouTube and on Facebook, make sure you hit the thumbs up. Make sure you keep on commenting.
Hit the thumbs up! Share! Comment! Thumbs up! Share! Comment! Thumbs up!
That's the key for us to be able to grow on our page.
Already we carry a message that has to be heard. Now God is making room for that message to be heard.
Let me read the next scripture.
It says, "Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood when you have called me to reign as a son. I declare that this is my season to mature and walk in the authority you have given me in Jesus' name."
Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood.
Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood.
Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood.
Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood.
That's the prayer that you're praying.
Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood.
And as you're declaring that and as you're decreeing that, the Father is removing you from a position of servanthood.
You're going to walk in authority. You're going to walk in power.
Let us just pray.
Terina, pray for yourself. We are praying together. Pray for yourself right now.
Declare, "Father, I refuse to remain in a position of servanthood."
Pray for yourself and declare that for yourself.
I saw a battle in an arrow in your family. I don't know why, but I saw an arrow. Someone as if once had a mental breakdown.
But even as you're praying, you're praying against that spirit and you're declaring that no one in my family shall be a victim to any demonic system that causes stress, anxiety, and mental issues.
And as you're declaring this, the Lord is causing your family to be removed from any form of bondage in the name of Jesus.
And every person that is hearing me, God is giving you an advantage.
God is giving you an advantage.
God is giving you an advantage.
God is giving you an advantage.
God is giving you an advantage.
God is giving you an advantage.
God has given you an advantage in the name of Jesus.
We're embracing sonship, not servanthood.
We are becoming sons, not servants.
We are becoming sons, not servants.
Now, prayer point number five: Father, pray for spiritual growth and strength.
That's it!
Only you know sometimes when you pray with Apostle, you'll be like, "Lord, how?"
How many have been fasting with me? You remember the last fast that we had? Even the recent fast, Apostle prayed strange prayers.
Apostle prayed strange prayers because most of you, you know sometimes when you have prayer and fasting programs, there are certain prayers that you're used to.
There are certain prayers that you're used to, and it's always strange how the things that Apostle prays for when we are fasting and praying and the teachings that we'll be having are strange, right?
I remember once, I love prayer. I love prayer.
So I was... Terina, if I would pray for your relationship, you might not like the prayer, so don't push me to pray.
I'm just having fun. We'll pray for your relationship. Don't focus on that. Focus on the teaching.
Focus on the teaching!
Pray for my relationship! What for? What do you really want me to pray for?
Because if I pray for the will of God, then the relationship will go like this.
So the key is to just relax a bit.
Let me teach you now.
So Apostle is different. Sorry for that.
So I'm always joking.
I'm joking! I'm joking! Relax!
So whenever we are praying, I was speaking about how we pray sometimes, right?
How sometimes the prayer that Apostle prays here is a bit different.
I remember once I was in prayer because I was going to a prayer meeting. You know, sometimes you just need to pray with others.
So the first day, we were destroying and we were dealing with certain witchcraft systems. It was powerful.
The second day, we were dealing with witchcraft systems. I said, "Maybe they are setting up witchcraft systems."
We're dealing with the third day.
So the third day, I'm praying about warfare again.
The fourth day, we pray.
I said, "Lord, no, no. I thought these people we defeated them the first day. Why are we still fighting them?"
I said, "Ah, no, no. For me, I don't know why I'm impatient with certain types of prayer. I'm impatient. Why? Because we cannot be repeating, 'Today I killed a witch, tomorrow I'm killing a witch, the day after I'm killing a witch.' How many witches am I supposed to deal with?
How many? How many?
Tell me the number! We deal with them once and for all!
How can I today, Father, every witch? Tomorrow, witch? How many witches are in your village?
Is there evidence that any of them is dying? Any evidence at all?
So first day, we pray against witches. Second day, we pray against witches. Third day, we pray against witches. Fourth day, we pray against witches. Fifth day, we pray against witches. Sixth day, we pray against witches. Seventh day, we pray against witches.
So when are we going to pray for our maturity?
When are we going to ask God to even release anything to us?
So for me, I feel prayer for me is a place of fellowship.
Like when we're praying for spiritual growth, the key to anything that you want in life is your growth and your maturity.
So you are praying.
So when you're praying, you're praying from a place where you are...
It's easy to blame someone for the position that you're in, but when you're praying, you're praying from a place of truth, a place of reality.
So it says today we're saying, "Father, as your word declares, strong meat belongs to those who are mature, who have exercised their spiritual senses by reason of use. I choose strong meat today."
Imagine that!
"I choose what? Strong meat today! I choose to grow in understanding and revelation of your word. I refuse to remain a spiritual babe. Help me to grow into the fullness of your plans for me in Jesus' name."
Help me to grow into the fullness of your plans for me in Jesus' name!
The one that has been saying, "Pray for my relationship," that guy is not faithful.
So you know sometimes many people, you know already, T, that this guy is not coming back.
The only thing that he'll do, he'll come back and he'll give you another child, and you'll be frustrated.
He is not faithful! He has cheated on you a few times. He is not faithful!
So sometimes you know the reality of what you should pray for, for God to release you from the bondage of that relationship.
But sometimes we want to hang on to things that we know are not working.
So we be in prayer, you are distracted. Instead of praying for you to mature spiritually, you're praying for someone to come back who you know is not faithful and is not consistent.
So sometimes we are distracted from the true picture of what God wants to do.
So that's why sometimes I try to ignore, but you know if you're persistent, then I have to be a bit truthful to tell you that that guy is not helpful at all to you.
So the best thing is to walk away.
But it is not my job to tell you that; it is your job to realize that.
So the prayer that we're now praying is this:
"Father, as your word declares, strong meat belongs to those who are mature, who have exercised their senses by reason of use. So I choose strong meat today. I choose to grow in understanding and revelation of your word. I refuse to remain a spiritual baby. Help me to grow into the fullness of your plans for me in Jesus' name."
Come on, pray! Come on, pray!
"Father, as your word declares, strong meat belongs to those who are matured. I choose strong meat. I choose to be mature. I choose to use your word, Lord, exercise your word, Lord, that I might come up unto maturity.
I choose to exercise your word, Lord, that I might come up unto maturity.
I choose to exercise your word, Lord, that I might come up unto maturity."
Father, I refuse to be a spiritual babe. Help me to grow into the fullness of your plans in Jesus' name!
In the name of Jesus!
Father, we give you praise! We thank you!
Now, the last prayer point: Declaration of Thanksgiving for maturity and authority.
Father, I thank you because I'm becoming... I'm coming into maturity.
As I grow in understanding and revelation, I declare that I walk in authority and the inheritance ordained for me and for my family.
Thank you for positioning me to fulfill all that you have proposed in Jesus' name!
So thank you! Thank you, Lord!
You're maturing! Princes will no longer be walking while servants are on horses.
You're maturing!
I want you to declare that, "Father, thank you! I am maturing today!"
And so today, it's more of a reclaiming of a position, but this reclaiming comes from coming into maturity.
Coming into maturity! Coming into maturity!
You know, it's easy...
The reason why Apostle is like this is we don't deny that spiritual warfare is real. No, we know it!
We don't deny that witches are there. We know they are there!
But we pray from a position of authority.
We need wisdom!
We don't just speak; we speak from a place of wisdom.
Do you know sometimes one of the most powerful prayers is a prayer that someone prays with understanding?
Pray knowing what you're dealing with!
Pray knowing what you're calling!
Pray knowing what you're birthing!
Yesterday, we prayed prayers that were very powerful.
There were very powerful prayers that we prayed yesterday.
Today's prayers are even more powerful.
Tomorrow's prayer will be deeper because there are things that God is positioning us for that are key for our increase, that are key for our elevation, that are key for the level that God is bringing us into.
We refuse to remain a church that is a baby's church!
We refuse to remain in that posture!
So guys, thank you so much!
Every time that we have a program, we always find ways for us to give.
Now today, we're going to just... I'm going to just push you to do something.
Now, this is our second day of prayer, and it's the seventh—two and seven, right?
Two is a symbol of multiplication; seven is a symbol of perfection.
So today is the seventh, and today is the seventh, but this is the second day of our fasting and prayer.
So we're going to just raise... you're going to give a seed.
I love giving instructions; that's how I love doing things.
You're going to give a seed with a two and a seven.
Why specifically a two and a seven? Because we are standing in alignment to the second day of our prayer and fasting and the seventh day of the month.
So we're going to give. You're going to just rush to your website, and you're going to give from there.
You know, other people, they usually have issues if someone is giving specific numbers like this because they will say, "But why are you doing that?"
Sometimes God allows us to administer our gift according to how we want to administer.
So at this moment, that's how we're doing things.
So you're going to just go give, and then we'll be back just now.
So let me put up the offering banner, and we'll be back.

Come have communion!
I was just speaking to people on TikTok and I was saying in the afternoon at 3 p.m., we're going to be having communion.
I thought that I was going to do a rebroadcast of this specific teaching, but I felt like we need to do communion because there are things that we need to correct, things that we need to just deal with a bit.
And we need to exercise a bit of authority in certain domains.
So definitely, we're going to be seeing you later, and it's going to be powerful.
So thank you so much on every platform. God bless you!
So, who's got a question for Apostle before I jump out of here?
You know, you're praying and fasting. Maybe you received a dream, maybe you received a vision that is key.
So just post up your question, your vision, or your dream.
This is the confidence that when I saw three amber red gifts...
So an amber is just a flame that is starting. So it's something that God is starting, but that is key to your perfection.
An ember is just like a fire that is starting. It's something that you're starting, but that is key to your perfection.
I pray that those ember gifts, those ember things will be awakened in Jesus' name!
Say the dream: I was inside a very fast speedboat.
I would say to you, Baky B Collections, go to my website. You'll find a section which is written "Cars and Transport."
Read everything that is under speedboat.
Read everything that is under speedboat because if I explain to you, you'll not receive full revelation of what is happening.
But if you go read, you're going to receive the full revelation.
So my website is www.apost.com, and then on the dreams directory, there are cars and transportation.
Read that, and it's going to bless you.
There are so many things that are written there.
Who else? Who else? Who else has a question for me or a dream that they need to ask?
So a vision of a nectarine being washed with sparkling water in a silver bucket.
Hey, that's a very powerful dream!
Just the symbolism in that dream... it's a very powerful dream.
And a nectarine is... it looks like peaches, but it's got a bit of... or it's got passion.
Oh yeah! Meaning that there is something that you're passionate about.
You're passionate about something, but you know, it's more like a gifting.
So if it's being washed by sparkling water, it means that God is amplifying your gifting.
Meaning that you've got a gift that is natural.
There is a gift that is very natural that you carry.
Maybe you are a singer, maybe you are... but it's a natural gift.
Meaning that it's naturally communicated.
So it's something that you're also passionate about.
I'm not sure what it is, but the dream suggests that it is being perfected, but in a kingdom system, a godly system that is key maybe to your elevation and your promotion.
So it's a call for you to pay attention to what God is doing, especially in this season.
Pay attention to what God is doing.
He's perfecting your gifting and your purpose.
Somebody says, "Apostle, you were right about the angel trying to talk to me."
Apostle, oh, amazing!
God bless you!
He's going to begin to speak to you more.
I dreamed of new shoes on top of a bed, size seven, and I wear size six.
But when I fit, they were fitting.
So meaning God is just perfecting you in your marriage or in your relationship.
Six, you were making an effort to do things by your strength, by your flesh.
But now God is allowing you to increase through His Spirit.
You're being perfected, but it's in the area of marriage. That's where the perfection is.
Somebody says, "I was supposed to transport a baby in a bus, then ended up living with him since he was alone."
So meaning it's something that you're inheriting, a responsibility, a business, something that you're inheriting that is key maybe to your promotion and your increase.
So pay attention to what you're inheriting.
Pay attention to what you're inheriting.
But I believe it will be well.
So thank you so much, guys!
It was beautiful!
For those that are going to go give, thank you so much to those that are giving.
Make it a habit!
Be a giver!
Be a person who gives!
Be a person who partners!
Be a person who is a part of everything that God is doing!
So reminder, today's seed is a two and the seven—a two and the seven.
So thank you so much, everybody!
This was a beautiful program!
I can't wait to see you!
I can't wait to talk to you later!
So today, we're going to see you a bit later at 3 p.m., and it's going to be powerful!
It's going to be deep!
Let me just pray for everybody before I jump out.
Father, thank you for every person that you connected to this live program.
Father, thank you! They are coming out to maturity, and as they are maturing, Lord, You're releasing the inheritances, the blessings, and the purpose that they carry in Jesus' name!
Amen!
Thank you so much, everybody!
Looking forward to seeing you later at 3 p.m.
God bless you!
This is the confidence that when...
