How To Cleanse And Take Authority Over The Ground Beneath Your Home And Business | Dr Francys Myles

Talking about spiritual warfare and business. How can you do business on land that's wants to vomit you out?

There is an inseparable connection between destiny and land. In Gethsemane, the blood of Jesus came down into the ground. Why? Because the ground received the penalty of the curse. Remember in Genesis 3, the land now shall produce thorns and thieves. There is a direct collection between economic activity of the land and its righteousness. So if the land loses its righteousness, it begins to lose its productivity.

Where did you get this revelation?

In 2015, I was preaching in North Carolina when all of a sudden my phone ding was a text from my brother in the Republic of Zambia. He said to me, "My dear brother, our mother has just gone with the Lord." Called my dad, said, "I know mom is gone. I'm going to get on a plane and I'll be there." We're back from the funeral. I got a call from a white brother who is a missionary. Would love for you to be a keen speaker if you don't mind passing through Zimbabwe. I'll fly you on Monday. While we're driving, I feel like somebody is trying to bury me alive. In my mind, I said, "Okay, maybe these are territorial spirits that are attacking me. So, if I can just get on a plane and get out of this nation, I believe this attack is going to stop." As soon as I saw the plane, the Holy Spirit would speak to me. Francis, a power has come on your body that you have to break while you are in this nation. If you get on that plane, you will die. I turned to security. I said, "Pop an ambulance. I was moved to a hospital." Around midnight, I get a phone call from my wife and a prophet who lives in California. The Lord is telling me that what you are fighting and what has come against you is nothing short of high-level witchcraft. I turn to my brother, you are going to lead us in praise and worship. About 45 minutes into the praise and worship, the voice of the Holy Spirit speaks to me. Francis, it is time for me to deliver you from this. Get out of bed. Tell your brother to walk you into the hospital yard. The Holy Spirit said, Francis, the witches that are trying to kill you, they spoke to the earth and they commanded the earth to swallow your body in premature death. But what do I do? He said, prophesy to it. You guys are losing the battle of dominion because you don't understand the power I gave you and how the earth works. The earth was given to the children of men. He said in the absence of your voice the earth will obey lower voices of dominion because my people who are the real people who are the real power on the earth are not speaking to the land. So the land is moving in the direction of iniquity. That's why all of creation is ruining.

How to practically redeem the land?

Dr. Francis Miles. We're back. We're back. We're back. I wouldn't say round two, but really it's round three 'cause last time we were here, we did two episodes. Yes. I, I need to give you a little bit of an intro for the audience because yes. I was mentioning this to you off camera. So you guys, this this man of God that I'm having on the show again today. His work, his books, the last couple podcasts that we did together, we have a lot of amazing guests on this show pretty regularly. And when people ask me, "Who are some of the best people you've ever had on the show?" It's funny because I say, "One of them is this guy named Dr. Francis Miles." And then most people respond with, "Who's that?" And and so you are, and that's not that's not a dig at you at all, but it's it's really to show that you are an incredible secret that hopefully is not kept secret for too long. Yeah. That's slowly being revealed to America. The the revelations that God has given you is just it's been really it's blessed me tremendously. Um, it's given me a hunger for the word. It's given me a hunger for a deeper prayer life. Yes. And honoring of of how God speaks in dreams. Yes. And it's given me a lot of clarity on my assignment as a marketplace minister. Yes. Which a lot of people who listen to this podcast, not all, but a lot who do. Uh, they fall into that category. Yes. So, what I want to do is I want to do a couple things. I had to bring you back. We did two episodes last time and I hope we can get a couple more today because you wrote a new book, um, called Blood Money. Yeah. The ancient mystery of blood money and its antidote. Yes. The ancient mystery of blood money and its antidote. Yes. That's right. And we'll talk about that right now and we'll get to the next one shortly. But um, here's what I want people to do. I want people to go at some point to go back and watch it was the first one we did together. That's right. Which was about the order of Melchizedek. That's right. Um, the Joseph anointing. What does it mean to have an anointing for business and ministry and politics? That's right. And how that priesthood is actually a more accurate representation of the priesthood that we are invited into. Exactly. As bloodbought, holy spirit-filled followers of Jesus. Who comes as a priest in the order of Melchizedek. That's right. Not in the priesthood of the Levites. That's right. So, and we're doing pretty good. Like recap, we're doing phenomenal. Okay. Cuz I've been studying this like crazy and it's been s I've shared it with so many people as well. Um, but one of the things that has stuck out in my own life and in some of the comments that people have had in that, uh, in that episode is um, actually today I had a coaching call with our community. And I was mentioning this to you just a minute ago and I was like, you have to stop talking because I have to get this on camera. In our coaching community where we're training up, by the way, this must be helpful for some of you. We have a community of people who are called by God into the marketplace. It's called Called Elite Creator and we're training people to be leaders in the marketplace, particularly in the creator economy, creator creating content, building digital businesses, how to do that well, how to how to fund their callings through these businesses. And um, how to have tremendous influence for the kingdom. And so we had a a there's a couple of girls who joined who are from Thailand and their names are Lily and Darling. They're super sweet, but they um, one of them got saved just a little while ago and she had an encounter with Jesus much like you where Jesus literally visited her in her room. I believe it was in her room or it was in a dream, but she didn't know who it was. She said, "There's this man who was dressed in white and and all all the characteristics." Right. Yes. And she had never been to church. She didn't know who Jesus was, but she knew I need to follow this guy. Wow. Yeah. And so she became a Christian, but being in Thailand there, she she uh both of these young ladies, they have shared with me, we experience so much spiritual warfare in business. Yes. Where we live in Thailand, everybody around us is uh Buddhist. I think some are Muslims but mostly Buddhism. Um, and she said I I asked them like, is spiritual is the blend of spirituality and business common in Thailand? And they said overwhelmingly lots of idolatry in these businesses. And she said that there's they're experiencing sort like all sorts of on their on their security cameras. They literally see demons roaming around their business and they catch it on on security footage and their question to me is like, "Cap, we love that you're teaching us content, how to make money, how to build systems, how to use AI, how to consecrate your business to the Lord." They were like, "Cap, we need to know how to do spiritual warfare in business." Yes. And so I'm like, "Okay, let's teach you how to do that." But I'm setting you up for this because not that it's it's going to, you know, touch everything that you have in that book. But what that the reason why the thesis of that book is so interesting to me is because I think a lot of people think of kingdom business just in regards to do a business for the kingdom, make a lot of money, and it's going to be a very easy road. Yes. But what you know and what I know is that in the kingdom business is warfare. It is. And there are uh we need to be properly equipped so that we don't lose those battles. I think the battle for business is way more intense when you're doing it for the kingdom. That's right. Victory victory is promised to us, but victory is not often accessed by us because we don't know the principles of of spiritual warfare and business. So anyway, I thought that'd be a good caveat just to kind of get you talking about spiritual warfare and business and then we can lean into that. But you were you were mentioning a lot about Asia. Yes. In general. So. No, I was saying that Asia is one of the uh uh remaining hotspots in the 21st century that mirrors or mimics the ancient pantheistic cultures of the B of the biblical times where um idols and uh their their statues were framed into every aspect of culture. So that what happens in a case like that is that the I that that the the demonic warfare in cultures that are that pantheistic is that it the warfare becomes almost uh literal. Not only is it spiritual, but it becomes literal because of the fact that when you have idols that are um uh personified like that in brick form or in wood form, you are literally giving the enemy legal rights not only to the persons but to the land itself. So people like that have in they need what they need uh to have breakthrough is they really need the redeeming of the land because people don't understand this that demons occ uh demons uh when if demons don't occupy uh people they occupy spaces and the reason is they know eventually the spaces become filled with people and so that's why the Bible has a lot to say about the redeeming of the And so that's why they can they are finding apparitions of demons being caught live on camera. That's very unusual. It means that the land itself is so defiled by the idolatry that demons feel uh uh the liberty just to walk freely on the land. Wow. So for somebody like that, I'm I'm redeeming the land, you know, uh because those unclean spirits have to leave the land or the warfare is going will continue to be doubly intense than it we it would be in most cultures of the west where somehow in our moni is somehow in the monetization of of the west which are part of it is a result of the gospel that swept through the west. M. You know, because there was a time during the the p the um what is the the pantheistic cultures of the grac of the Greeks and the Romans it was the same you know, because the Romans were like that but when the gospel he hit these uh this idol this um um what is this these uh uh statues to idols began to disappear in the west but in uh somehow in Asia it's not the case that's not the case so that's Why if you go to a Thai restaurant, you're going to find Buddha right in the in the restaurant. It's you know um you know so so it's much more perverse once you are in the of course in the in place like Thailand, Malaysia and different places like that.

I want to ask you how to how to practically redeem the land. Yes. You're talking about but I want to ask you first. How did you come to that revelation? Because in the west I I had a young lady named Madison Yunt on the podcast the last episode that we did. We we actually talked about that extensively redeeming the land, land defilement. Uh, the connection uh when Paul talks about principalities regionally ter you know uh regionally occupying demons or dark forces, dark spirits that actually rule geographic territories and boundaries. I have never heard any pastors in the west talk about that ever until the past. Yeah. Until like the past six months ago or something like that. Wow. Yeah. It It's really um It's really humbling actually because I think a skeptic would listen to this and they're they're going to ask the question like, "Okay, how does this how is this not witchcraft? How is this not extra biblical? How is this not um actually becoming like turning Christianity or mixing it with more pantheistic uh perspectives or backgrounds and at the same time the more that you look at scripture and you understand spiritual warfare you realize number one how little the church in the west actually understands spiritual warfare. That's right. Like almost never even talked about or or talked about in regards to like it's a distant thing. It used to happen doesn't really happen much anymore and therefore there's not a lot of revelation around it. Um, but then you get into like to this stuff and it's it's almost dare I say kind of like black belt level spiritual warfare when you're when you're doing that sort of stuff. I like that black belt level. You see what I'm saying? Yes. It's not just like you know reading and praying which is obviously foundational. Yes. But it's okay. Now we're going to go and kick kick around some bees beehives. That's right. So when did you get this revelation? Was this something that you that happened uh when you came to the west or was this something that happened when you were in Africa? Well, it happened, you know, uh I I didn't have it when I first came to America, which is 1990. Uh when I Okay. When I finally moved to America. I first came to America 1996. Okay. But I found him found that he moved here 1998. Okay. And I would be a citizen for many years doing ministry in America before I even have the revelation on the on land redemption. You know, and you'll be blown away that the Bible has a lot to say about the the redeeming of the land. Mhm. Now, it's very interesting that the the Bible uses the same connotations of redemption to the land that it applies to men. That's very interesting. It's a very different way of looking at it. You know, uh for instance, people get sick, well, the land can get sick as well because Jesus said that's why the in first in um uh 1 Corinthians he talks about he says, you know, if my second Corinthians, if my people are called by my name shall humble themselves and seek seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I'll hear from heaven and I'll for I I'll forgive their sin, then I'll heal the land. You can only heal land that's sick. This is very interesting. Very interesting. Yes. Wow. So, so but but the but the real revelation that um It doesn't say heal the people. Heal the land. Heal the land. Because it's the land that's sick. Very interesting. And the people are being affected in destiny because the land they're supposed to land their destiny on is sick. See, there is an inseparable connection between destiny and land. The reason why land is called land is because you are supposed to uh land something that is heavenly on it. If the land is not ready, the you could be ready. But if the land is not ready, the Bible even says the land will vomit you out. So how do you do business on land that's trying to vomit you out of business? Oh my gosh. Oh no. This is intense. This is you know you know and um so this revelation on. Real quick. What do you what do you mean by the land vomit? How can you do business on land that's wants to vomit you out? Yes. Explain that please. Okay. In the book of Leviticus chapter 18 verse 25 to 27, God tells the children of Israel to be careful how they deal with the land. Remember the whole Exodus was about land. People forget that as much as it was God redeeming his people from slavery, but God never takes you out unless he can bring you in, you know. And so God uh tells them, "I'm going to deliver you because of my covenant with Abraham, but I'm delivering you to a land flowing with milk and honey." Mhm. But then he begins to then talk to them about the theology of land because the the there's a theology of land, you know, and uh he God begins to tell them in in Leviticus 18, he said he says, "For the land is defiled." Watch what happens when the land is defiled and therefore it it bears the punishment of its iniquity upon it. We think iniquity is only with people. Iniquity can also be with land. What happens when a person has an iniquity of addiction, iniquity of lust? They fight with that because that iniquity is in their bloodline. Well, the Bible takes the word iniquity from man and touches it to land. That's why the the most amazing thing that the Bible treats land in the same way it treats the man. So God says because the land is defiled and it bears the punishment of its iniquity, therefore the land vomits out its inhabitants. So if you don't heal the land, the inclination, the natural the the natural response of the land when it's defiled is to vomit anybody who's on it. Because the land was defiled by people. So if the people that come on the land that has been defiled and God says the land was defiled by those who were there before you. And and then in Leviticus they said, therefore you must now grant the land its redemption. This is interesting. Because remember the earth was made for God. The earth is the Lord and the fullness thereof. So in other words, sin affects the land. Sin sin affects both the land and people. So the land when it's affected, when it's defiled, the natural inclination is to vomit you out. That's what the Bible is saying. What does that look like? I put a business that I'm trying to build. I got everything else. My business is my business plan is in place and all of a sudden all of a sudden my business plan my business begins to collapse. I've actually had people who are doing very well in a small uh uh in a small place. They got big now. Okay, we get we're getting too big for the space and they bought a new land so they can expand. So naturally naturally you would think okay you you are doing too much business in a small place. So it just makes sense you grow. You get more land. Mhm. Well, they got land, this land, and when they took their business there, all hell broke loose, dude. And within one or two years, a business that was doing millions is out of business. How do you explain that? Except for the change in physical location. They didn't change their tactics for sales, their business model, their business strategy, or only thing they changed, they went to a land. Unfortunately for them, they did not discern that the land was already sick before they got there. So if they don't bring priesthood to the land she. Which is to cleanse the land the sickness on the land they'll pay for it with the bankruptcy with failed business deals partnerships breaking people don't understand why. Well, if I sorry to interrupt you, but if I could bring it down more super practically for people. Like if we can think about the most literally the first type of business. Yes. That we see God communicate was in the garden, which was agriculture. That's right. And any farmer, interestingly enough, where I grew up in DC, not a lot of farmers, not a lot of farmers in Miami, where I went to school in Nebraska, farmland everywhere. Any farmer will tell you that there's good soil and there's bad soil. Some soil. Yes. Will will naturally have the nutrients that can actually produce life and some land doesn't. So even at that level that the ability for the land to actually produce something is directly connected to that farmer's income. It's their business. Yes. So it's it's actually it is mystical but it's also not it's also deeply practical if you understand agriculture too. Yes. So and that is just wild. Just keep going please. I'm I'm really enjoying this. You want me to keep going on the land issue? I want you to I want you to unless you have more to say but. That's helpful to understand how that works. I've seen it work that way. Um, I also I've shared this before. I want to show people a picture of this. Have you ever seen. Have you ever seen the border between the Dominican Republic and Haiti? No. Can I show you this real quick? Haiti. So, here's an interesting story about Haiti. So, Haiti, as a lot of the countries in the West, was built off of um in a big part, the slave trade. Yes. So, the French brought over all of these African slaves to Haiti. And then there was this I I I couldn't tell you the name of it. Someone in the comments if you can remember the name of it, but there was a there was a battle. It was like a revolution. Yes. That the slaves, the African slaves in Haiti, um who were outnumbered, didn't have the right tools, they they decided um we need to like rise up against our French captors. Yes. So what did they do? They actually invoked spirits to empower them to fight the French. Yes. They performed idolatrous practices. On the land. On the land. And guess what? They won. They won the battle, but at a cost. Yes. And now you see a country that has been given over to Satanism and voodoo. Yes. For years. For literally centuries. Exactly. And I want you to see this picture. This picture is so stark. This is the boundary between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Wow. Do you see that? The greenery just stops. It literally stops at the border. So you have the Dominican Republic on the side that's luscious and then you have Haiti on the side that was given over to Satanism. Yes. And like if there if that's a picture of land defilement, I don't know. They defiled the land. And when they defiled the land by invoking spirits, the spirits took ownership of the land. Okay? So they so if if there's going to be economic resurgency in uh in Haiti, a a righteous priesthood of a political leaders or even is going to have to rise to deal with the iniquity created by the slaves who in their ignorance and their desire to be free invoked a sanctioned power to deliver them. They they didn't know they could have done the same thing, ask God to do it. But you see you know when people are going through all of that you know you know crazy ideas can come through but in this case they went towards the voodoo gods and they began to make covenant. I I know that some of their founding fathers even made a covenant with Satan on the mountain on one of the mountains in the in Haiti. But you can see the topography of the land just telling you that land can be sick. And when a land is sick it also means it may be a hosting. It may it may also be hosting uh certain spirits on the land. So that when you go on the land just because you bought it from the bank does not mean you bought it from the spirits owning the land. So if what happens if you don't through uh if you you know if you do not dispossess the spirits that are on the land then the land the spirits that are on the land are either going to want to bend you to their will. So you end up worshiping the spirits because that is the culture that is the culture they have installed on the land because they now say we possess it because of the covenants maybe the bloodshed that was done there you know now all of that can be dealt with that's that's why that's why I tell people people when God was teaching me on land uh land redemption he said Francis you have to understand that the earth is very important to man's destiny it is so important to man's destiny. You know, maybe you never thought about this, but I never did until God spoke to me. So, Francis, are you aware that the first creature, the first creature I gave the blood to was the land before I gave it to man on the cross in Gethsemane, the blood of Jesus came down into the ground. Why? Because the ground received the penalty of the curse. Remember in Genesis 3? Yes. The land now shall produce thorns and thesis. So we begin to see that there is a direct connection between economic activity of the land and its righteousness. So if the land loses its righteousness, it begins to lose his productivity. In the same way, when a man begins to lose their righteousness, you're going to begin to see other things, other vices begin to show up. But the land is even more drastic because the land belongs to God. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. That's why the Bible says in Romans 8, all of creation is groaning, travailing. So why would be creation travailing? Is travailing for the manifestation of the sons of God. Yes. To redeem the land. Ah, because the Bible says for or for creation knows. So God put a knowing in creation that when my sons return, my when my redeemed sons begin to arise, they will bring righteousness back to the land and the land will be redeemed from the bondage of its corruption. Oh my gosh. We got some work to do. We got some work to do. So we uh so it it is very I'm telling you it's it's an amazing thing when you see it in the book of Zechariah God talks about it says I will cause the unclean spirit to leave the land. So there was an unclean spirit not on the people on the land. That's in Zechariah 13. Yeah. So, um, I've helped people literally thrive where where they where they said the house was haunted. And I prayed with and after the after our prayer, he said they sleep like babies. We brought ministry to the land because that's what what priesthood is about. Our priesthood as believers is not just to people. It's to the people and to all of creation. Okay. So, now I need you to help teach us how to practically do that. And we'll still get we still got to get to the blood m. This is great but but practically because so. This this revelation is important for every believer, not just business people. Yes. It's particularly important for business people though, especially business people who are called to buy land for redemptive purposes. Yes. Not just to live on but to use for. For mighty exploits. Yes. We can just say it like that. So for somebody who is in the process of acquiring land and has not even considered that or maybe like the two young ladies in my coaching business who are in Thailand surrounded. Yes. By idolatry. And literally see spirits walking around on their business property. Yes. Right now. Yes. How how do we as believers, sons and daughters of the king actually practically redeem the land? What does that look like? All right. In order to be able to get a framework because it's a big subject. So since you've opened the Pandora's the Pandora's box, I might as well go there. Okay. How did I come to get involved in land redemption all over the world? You know, I've churches that couldn't get in buildings, not get into buildings. Um, because of the revelation God gave me, but it came at a very high price. It's uh the revelation is actually contained in a book that is not here, but it's on my website. It own it's one of my bestselling books actually of all my books has published sales more than any one of them and it just created hundreds of thousands of testimonies and that is not braggadociousness it's reality. We are overwhelmed by how many people are saying your book on I speak to the earth changed my entire life our business our family. That's what it's called. Yeah. It's called I speak to the earth. Okay. The revelation begins this way. Uh, in 2015, I was preaching in North Carolina in May, never forget it because of who is connected to that time. My mother um, you know, there are people called mama's boy. I was mama's boy. I was very I love m I I honored my father. We are great friends, you know, but my mother was very important to me. And living in America, I always I always worried that I my mother might go on to glory without me, you know, having that closure. So that always worried me and it happened that way. I was in I was getting ready to go up to the pulpit to speak. I was invited to preach in a church there when all of a sudden my phone dinged and I just turned around to look at it and on the phone was a text from my brother Emmanuel in the Republic of Zambia. He said to me, "My dear brother, our mother has just gone to be with the Lord." Man, I lost it. Tears just flooded. I couldn't stop it, man. So the pastor looks at me and just, you know, the pastor was about to call me up and then looks at me and my face is drenched. So she comes over close to me. She said, "What is going on?" I give her the the uh my phone. She sees the text. She says, "Oh, I'm so sorry. My condolences. What you know what you know what you want to use my office? What do you want to do?" I said, "I need some time by myself, but not the office. Can I go into the parking lot?" And she said, "Yes, I'll keep the service going as long as you need." And so I go into the parking lot and I'm just weeping, brother, just uncontrollably. And the Lord in his eternal mercy does something very supernatural in that moment. He it would be the first time in my walk with God I've actually seen a human being enter heaven with my physical eyes, whether I mean it was that clear. God all of a sudden I'm crying and then I see the pearly gates, you know, I've read about them in the book of Revelation, but then I saw them. You've never seen any magnificent gate like that, my brother. These gates were so regal and so expensive that I had the idea in that moment that you can mortgage all of America and not be able to buy one of those gates. You had that thought in the moment. Yeah. In the moment. Wow. I mean, it was like and then of course the glory of God and the light of God. Uh, I mean bouncing off those gates and the pearls that were in them. The oh was beautiful. Standing in front of the pearly gates was my mother Esther. And it's like the Lord, you know, it's like the Lord must have said something to her because God knew the whole this would leave in my life. And um, he had turned. She turned and boy, she looked at me, you know, and smiled. I'd never seen what the Bible calls joy unspeakable and full of glory in my I knew then I knew I said a thousand lifetimes would not make my mother that happy. I wouldn't make her that happy. The joy of the Lord was overwhelming as she looked like an angel. And I heard the the I heard the voice of the Lord say Francis, her time is done. You know, she's done her part. She's coming to me now. This is was this was for you. She turns and then the pearly gates open and she's swallowed in this massive light. They close behind her and everything disappears. I'm stunned. I'm standing in the parking lot and uh brother cup, all the sorrow gone. The tears stopped. I couldn't cry if I wanted to. Instead, I started laughing. The joy was bubbling over and I was I mean I mean literally it's like any chances the enemy wanted to use to this any anything the enemy wanted to use this trend to traumatize me God says it's not happening. But I went back in that church and I preached up a storm. Got out of it called my dad. I said, I'm sorry, but they were very close. Said, "I know mom is gone. I'm the firstborn son. Don't worry about anything. I'm sending money right away. We're going to give her an amazing homegoing and I'm going to get on a plane and I'll be there." So, I got into the Republic of Zambia. We had a great homegoing for my mother was beautiful. I remember I never forget it was on a Thursday, you know. We put her to rest. On our way back from the the funeral uh from the cemetery, I got a call from a a white brother who is a missionary. Uh. White brother. Yeah. He's a missionary in Zimbabwe. One of the biggest churches in Zimbabwe in America. He's a pastor there. Yeah. Tom Ducha. Oh wow. That's awesome. Yeah. A graduate of Christ for the Nations. Cool. Big mass. One of the biggest churches in Zimbabwe. And he calls me. He says, "Hey, we've heard what has happened. We are so sorry. My condolences on behalf of Celebration Church. We just want to know we are praying for you." And then I said, "Amen." I told him, I said, "Brother, yeah, I we've given an an amazing send off, but something happened. I can't tell you over the phone, but I have no sorrow on me at all. There's just nothing but joy, but thank you for calling." Said, "Well, uh uh" he said, "In that case, uh when are you going back to the US?" I said, "Well, next week." He said, "Oh, next week we have our biggest we have a action conference. We got over 5,000 delegates coming to our church. Would love for you to be a keynote speaker if you don't mind passing through Zimbabwe on the way to America. I said, "Okay, I'll do it." Uh, I said, "I I'll fly in on Monday." Well, so the weekend went spectacular. Uh, I uh on Monday, I called a friend of mine. I said, "Hey, let us go to come and pick me up because we haven't talked for a long time. Might as well use my 45 minutes to the airport for us to catch up." So this apostle came and he picked me up and we were driving. While we driving, it didn't take about 5 10 minutes before I knew something strange was happening to me. As we are driving in the car, you know, brother cup, if somebody took uh took a big shovel and imagine when the when the so when the maybe after just a a little drizzle of rain, how the the land smells and is kind of softish but not very hard. Okay, imagine somebody took a shovel of that and took a took a whole lot of that dirt and then threw it on your sneakers. You're going to feel it the weight of the the dirt. Sure. And the coarseness of dirt. Yeah. Well, I'm in the car. That's the first thing. I thought whoop. I'm like, what's happening? I look around. So, I start doing this. I'm like, what's this? Is weird. He doesn't stop. My friend is driving. He's talking. He's excited. He's he's getting me caught up with what's happening with his ministry. Boom. Some more dead. It's up to here. While you're in the car. While I'm in the car, this never had this happen before. Never happened in my life. I mean, and I've experienced warfare. So, I'm not an officer of spiritual warfare, especially got to my knees. And all of a sudden, I could hardly feel from my knees down. My feet became heavy, almost numbish. That's when I said, "Mm, I can't do this by myself." I said, "Brother, I I don't want to I don't want to I don't I don't want to scare you, but I know you're an apostle. We need to do spiritual warfare right now." I said, "What do you mean?" He says, "I'm in trouble." I said, "I can only tell you." He said, "The only way I can tell you, I feel like somebody is trying to bury me alive." That's how it feels like. Say, "Cuz I've got dirt all over here." And no matter I and now now remember when you've got dirt like that your natural inclination is to push it down. Mhm. Yeah. I would push it like I'm pushing it down. It just go it I mean the sensation of dirt wouldn't leave and the heaviness of it when I try to lift my my my my my foot. It was like I someone had put a chain around them. I'm like oh my god. So we begin to pray as he's driving praying. We prayed up a storm, rebuking everything I could think of. My brother, some more dirt. By the time we get to the airport, the sensation that I'm being buried alive in dirt had reached to my loins and my energy was also leaving. Mhm. When I saw in my mind, I said, "Okay, maybe these are territorial spirits that are attacking me. So if I can just get on a plane and get out of this nation, maybe this attack I believe this attack is going to stop. So that's what I'm thinking now. So I become more determined to get out of Zambia like yesterday when I get off the car out of the car when he drops when he we get when I when I got out of the car but cap I could hardly walk. I my energy was the energy like of an unhealthy 95-year-old man. I was walking like this. I could hardly lift my briefcase, but I was determined. My friend said, "Man, are you sure you want to go?" I said, "Brother, just pray. Don't leave any stay in the parking lot, but I got to go. But but you need to pray." I go through customs. I go through immigrations. I'm the last one. The plane is already full. They're waiting for me. I'm walking like a tortoise. So they send me give me a security man to try to get me to the plane. And uh as we are walking I am just panting like um, you know, like how if you run a 100 miles or whatever you you just run out of breath. Yeah. It was like that. I remember I woke up in the morning feeling like I was Michael Jordan or whatever. My health was phenomenal. So what is this? So, but I kept pushing. So, now the security man sees how I'm panning as I'm walking and the slowness of my walk. He says, "Sir, I don't know you, but if you're my brother or my friend, I will not let you travel like this. You don't look like a man who needs to be going anywhere. You look very sickly. Are you sure you need to get on this plane?" I said, "Yes, I got to do." I was bo I mean I was determined because in my mind I've calculated these are territorial spirits attacking me if I get out of this nation they'll lose. Yeah. So we now get where you can see the plane on the you know near the runway where it's and the steward sees me she's calling for me to come. As soon as I saw the plane this would be the first time the Holy Spirit would speak to me. And he said to me, Francis, a power has come on your body that that that you have to break while you are in this nation. If you get on that plane, you will die. It was not it was there was a certainty to the voice of the Holy Spirit, you die. And he stopped me in my tracks. Don't get on the plane. You got to fight this here. So I turned to security guy. I said, now when I turned to him, I began to fall. So he held me. I said, "Call for an ambulance and please get my bags off that plane. I'm not going to go." He called for an ambulance. An ambulance comes. They with a gunny. They throw me up in there. They put me in the back of an ambulance to the clinic that was at the at the was at the at the international airport in the in the city of Lusaka, Zambia. I have never been an ambulance before. This will be my first time. They are rushing me. They we get to the clinic. There was a female nurse on duty and when she did my vitals but the cup her eyes bouged fear just plastered her face and I knew I said I said that bad. She, you know what she said to me? She said, in my life as a nurse, I've never seen anybody with bad with number with vital numbers this bad who's still talking. You should either be dead or in a coma. I said, "Really?" She said, "Your blood sugar, your high blood pressure, both numbers between, you know, past 200. You should be already in a coma." And I'm like, she said, "So, she begins to pump me with drugs, but I'm going to do whatever I can do." And so, she's pumping me with strong drugs to begin to see if she can move the needle around. And I'm lying on this hospital bed now while she's doing all of this stuff and I hear the voice of the Holy Spirit for the second time. He said, "Francis, let her do her job. But do not worry because by tomorrow this time, I would have delivered you from this. Trust me, she does what she's, you know, she kept giving me more drugs. I called my I used my cell phone. I called the guy who brought me. I say, I'm in the clinic." He came over and he was just praying about why she's doing her thing. Three hours later, she gives up. He said, "Your needles are just moved a little bit, but I'm afraid if you stay here, you're going to die on my bed. You need to go to a bigger hospital where there are bigger equipment and maybe other modalities. I can't have you here." So, I was moved to a hospital called St. John's Medical Center. When I got there, all of my family members were there. They had heard. Everybody was panicking. We just buried my mother on a Thursday. I'm the firstborn son. Now this is happening. I'm I went from feeling fantastic. By the time I get to the airport, I look like a I look like a corpse, man. I'm just Oh, the color is gone. I can hardly walk. You talk to me. I could mumble a few words. It was that drastic of a change. When we got there, there was a female doctor on duty and she did my vitals. She also her eyes popped. She says, "This is bad. Let's admit this man right now. He's not fitted, you know." And so I'm I'm I'm tubed up and they begin to give me all these drugs. We're going to keep you overnight. We need to do something with these numbers because you're not going to make it. I've never in my life ever felt the sentence of death over my life like I did that day. I and I'm like, "Okay, I may not make it." But then I remember the Holy Spirit said, "Trust me, I'm going to by tomorrow this time I'm going to deliver you." So I was admitted for the for the overnight stay. Then one of my brothers by the name of Steven was asked to stay with me because the drugs they were giving me to lower the blood the blood pressures, other things required me to urinate. And so I was I was in one of those hospital rooms.

With own bathroom. But brother Cap, just to get from my bed to the bathroom would exhaust me. It's like I ran another marathon. I was that weak. Energy like you wouldn't believe, almost at zero energy. So my brother would have to hold me, and I would use the restroom and come back. And you know, this would be the night I'm spending.

Around midnight, I get a phone call from my wife and a prophet who lives in California. My wife had not come with me to Africa this time. So she, but she heard from the family members, "Your husband is critically ill." So she calls, she's frantic. She calls me, and but she's got this prophet who's a powerful man of God who lives in Glendale, California. He gets on the phone and proceeds to begin to prophesy. He says, "Man of God, the Lord is telling me that what you are fighting and what has come against you is nothing short of high-level witchcraft. There is a covenant of witches that have said they have made a vow. You are not going to leave Africa alive."

But the Lord is showing me he's going to bring you home back to America.

"Oh Jesus. Just hold on, brother."

"You're going to live and you're not going to die." And then, then what is prophesying, brother Cap? The Lord gives him a word of knowledge right there. He said, "Oh, I'm saying something." He says, "At your mother's funeral, was there a woman who looks like this? Was dressed like this?"

"He's just getting a vision."

"A vision?"

"Oh my goodness."

"He was not at a funeral. He's in California."

"Yeah. Yeah. He didn't know I was in trouble until my wife called him, said, 'Please, your brother is in trouble. We need to pray.' He says, 'He says, was there a woman, brother Cap?' He described the woman like he was looking at a photo. And the reason I remember the woman is because she was the loudest at my mother's funeral."

"That checks out."

"She was near my mother's, you know, out there by the casket, by the head, by the head. She was by my mother's head in the casket, doing the open viewing, and she is crying up a storm. Now, I live in America. So, who, I've been out of my country for over 25 years. So I'm thinking, yeah, my mother had a lot of friends. She must be one of our very good friends who's having a very bad time that her friend is gone."

"That's what I'm thinking. But I had no idea the Lord, in his redemptive mercy, was having me capture the moment. So when the word of knowledge came, I knew this was God talking."

"This is insane."

"You know."

"Holy moly."

"And I said, 'My brother, how do you know she was there, dressed exactly like you're describing her?' He said, 'She's not your mother's friend. She's one of the witches in the coven, you know, and there, she's part of the group that have vowed you're going to die like your mother. You're not going to leave and come back to America, but we're going to break this brother.'"

"Man, that word of knowledge really lifted my spirit. I was still weak, but just to have a man who was not at my funeral give that level of detail of a person he's never met, right?"

"I know this is God."

"Yeah. And he's got clarity."

"Man, man, there's nothing like clarity when you're going through warfare at that moment."

"Seriously?"

"Yes."

"Even a little bit of clarity."

"Yeah. A little bit of, um, a fingerprint, so to speak, that God is still there."

"Yeah."

"Because, man, I was like, it was so bad, brother Cap. I was so bad. You know, have you ever been so sick where you start to fantasize about how it will be like to actually be in heaven?"

"Oh, yeah."

"That's where I was."

"I've had that moment, whether it was sickness. I've had that moment in, uh, having such bad anxiety from a business situation."

"Yes."

"Where I've literally thought, I've had thoughts that were so, I had thoughts very similar to Elijah's thoughts when he had such intense, he experienced such intense, intense warfare that he began to fantasize."

"He began to fantasize, just, 'God, just take me.'"

"Which is actually a symptom of witchcraft. It is. It has you so banged up in your body and in your head. Yes. You'll begin to give into it because in your mind, after all, if I die, I'm with Jesus. What's that? That's not real bad. That's where I am, brother Cap. I'm now fantasizing. I'm like, Lord, I'm fought. Remember now, by the time it's midnight, I've been fighting this thing for hours. I'm tired. I'm like, so, so this will be the first time I have a glimmer of hope because before then I was like, Lord, it don't be so bad to die. You know, I might be, Mom, Mommy, Mommy will be like, 'Why are you coming so soon?' But at least I'll be with Jesus. But then that glimmer of hope comes in, and he, and he prays for me. And when he prays for me and against this, I feel like this cloud of witchcraft or this blanket of witchcraft began to lift, uh, over me. I could feel a lifting of it. Not a total lifting, but a lifting where you could feel like, okay, we're beginning to take back ground that the enemy took from us. So when the phone call ends, I turn to my brother. I said, 'Brother, when Paul and Silas were in the dungeon, they didn't feel sorry for themselves. One of the weapons that they, they used to get out of there was praise. I don't care who wakes up now. It's about 1:00 in the morning. I don't care who wakes up in this hospital. You are going to lead us in praise and worship.' So, man, we begin to sing songs to the Lord. I was weak, but I tried, man. I was keeping up with, I'm trying because to me, this is part of my fight to get out of this."

"Wow. About 45 minutes into the praise and worship, the audio, the voice of the Holy Spirit speaks to me almost in an audible fashion. And here's what he, he says, 'Francis, it is time.' I said, 'Time for what?' 'Time for me to deliver you from this.' I said, 'Glory to God. It's about time.'"

"It's about time, you know."

"And he, and he said to me, 'Get out of bed. Tell your brother to walk you into the hospital yard.'"

"So I turned to my brother, Steven. The Holy Ghost has said, 'Get me out of here into the hospital yard. The time for him to deliver me has come. I don't know how, why you have to go outside.' But that's what he said. So I was wearing those hospital gowns that you know, that day. You know those funny hospital gowns that cover your, cover everything except your butt. You know what I'm saying? Those ones. It's like hospitals have the same tailor. They will never finish school."

"So he always makes the same garment. So I'm having to hold for dear life on the back while my other hand is tightly clutched to my brother's neck as he's dragging me into the hospital yard. But the cup, now we are in the hospital yard. It was a half moon. The, the security lights were on, so visibility was not bad. So I'm holding on and I'm still very weak. And I say, 'Holy Spirit, I'm outside.' He said, 'Now tell him to take you to the flower bed.' 'Flower bed?' I said, 'Hey, Stephen, the Holy Spirit says I want you to take me to the flower bed.' He said, 'Really?' Now he's looking at me, but he knows my priesthood before this. So even though he was, said, 'I was kind of worried whether I should call the doctor or call the family. Maybe you're hallucinating now because the sickness has really advanced.'"

"But I know you. So I just said, 'Okay, uh, let's go to the flower bed.' You know, let me say this before I tell you what happened at the flower bed. During this intense time of warfare, which is the most intense warfare I've ever had up to this now, up to this time, I discovered something that day that has become so precious to me. I discovered that day, brother Cup, that the voice of the Lord is its own doctrine. As I actually did a study after the fact on the voice of the Lord, do you know how many scriptures talk about the voice of the Lord? It will blow your mind. It's his own doctrine. The voice of the Lord melts the mountain. The voice of the Lord opens the waters. The voice of the Lord, it's the voice of the Lord. And that day, had it not been for the voice of the Lord, I would not be on the directed life."

"Oh my gosh."

"I was directed. The name of your program, brother."

"Yes."

"I was directed by the voice of the Lord because every spiritual warfare, uh, uh, methodology, I had used it, brother. Everything I could think of that was spiritual warfare, I had thrown at this thing. Nothing was working. And when the brother, you know what, what it feels like to be at a place where where you thought you are the spiritual warfare expert, now the two boxes empty and you are still not even many times."

"I've been there many times. I, I get it. It's like I didn't make a dent except, except for a little bit of a dent. So basically, I am, I don't know what to do. I am in the place called 'I do not know what to do,' except for the voice of the Lord."

"My gosh."

"So, uh, he, he brings me to the flower bed. So we stand at the flower bed and I say, 'Holy Spirit, I'm here.' And then he says, 'Okay.' He says, 'In order for me to deliver you, I have to reveal the mystery of what they did to you. It's in the unveiling of the mystery of what they did. That's where your answer to your deliverance is because you are going to have to reverse what they did.'"

"Oh my gosh."

"And then the Holy Spirit said, 'Francis, the witches that are trying to kill you, they spoke to the earth. They spoke to the dirt and they commanded the earth to swallow your body in premature death.' And then he says, 'And that is what she's been trying to do all this.'"

"Wow."

"Now, you need to know my theological opinions. I'm a theologian by trade. I'm a theologian. As much as I love the supernatural, they must be guided by theology. I'm a very disciplined theologian. You know, I'm not a revelation junkie. I, I, I feel that revelation must be constrained by the parameters of theology. But that day, I learned something about theology and the voice of the Lord. And which is this, the voice of the Lord will take you where your theology hasn't been yet. But when the theology gets there, it finds out the voice of the Lord did not violate scripture. You do not just, you did not just know enough."

"Oh my gosh."

"That's why people are dying by theology because they won't listen to the voice of the Lord to take them further."

"Yes."

"Yes. I, it's, it's the, it's the, the tension or the harmony. Let's, I think harmony is a better word, because they don't work against each other. They work with each other. It's the harmony of the logos word of God and the rhema word of God."

"Exactly."

"The written word of what God had said."

"Yes."

"And the rhema word of what God is saying."

"Yes."

"And it's never going to contradict. But there, but it will stretch you."

"There wasn't, you didn't have a theology for the warfare you were going through. So God had to actually walk you through that."

"Yes."

"Which is why, which is why it's so important in Acts 2."

"Yes."

"That the Holy Spirit falls upon the church. And it's, and Peter says that this is a fulfillment of Joel where it says the spirit will fall upon you. Your sons and your daughters will have will prophesy. Old men, young men, dreams, dream dreams, have visions. Why? Because the Holy Spirit needs to take you somewhere where no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and not have entered into the hearts of man in order to fulfill the things that God has prepared for you."

"Exactly. Oh man, that's a perfect scripture for that, brother."

"That's where I am. I am in that place you have just discovered where there are things God has prepared for me, but my theology was the hindrance that night. My theological training as a, as a, a doctor in divinity and theology is screaming. Everything about my theology is screaming. And you know what he's saying to me? This is crazy. Except the voice of the Lord was so clear and the peace that came with it. So I knew the voice of the Lord. He says to me, 'Francis, here's what happened. The witches spoke to the earth and they commanded it to swallow your body in premature death. That is what she's been trying to do. Now I'm thinking, she, why is the Lord calling the earth a she? And why is he talking about the earth as if she's alive?' These are my, this is, these are the ping pong going on in my head while I'm while I'm listening. My theology is kicking back."

"Mhm."

"And these are the questions that are coming up."

"Mhm."

"And he said to me, 'Francis, pick up the dirt because you are going to do what they did, except in reverse, and you'll be free and you go home to America.'"

"So I picked up the dirt. He said, 'I said, Lord, what do I do?' He said, 'Prophesy to it. Tell the earth who you are in the kingdom, what I've called you to do, and then tell the earth she has no right to work with witches against the redeemed of the Lord. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof.'"

"Mhm."

"He said, 'Prophesy, my brother, the strongest prophetic anointing I've ever had in my life was not over a human being. It was that day over the earth. And out of my mouth, these words come: "Oh earth, O earth, hear the word of the Lord." I have no idea. I'm quoting Jeremiah 22:29. Never read it before. Really? It's actually in the Bible. Oh earth, O earth, hear the word of the Lord. I am Francis Miles, an apostle to America. And God told me I'm going to touch the world. I'm going to preach the gospel. I'm prophesying to the earth. That and you told me I'm going to have a long life. I'm, I mean, the prophecies are coming of what God has told me. I'm speaking to the earth, and therefore you have no right to swallow my body in premature death. So whatever the witches told you, I cancel it in the name of Jesus.'"

"And then the Holy Spirit says, 'Francis, she has heard you.' 'What?' 'She has heard me?' 'Yes.' He says, 'Do you want to prove it?' I said, 'Yes.' He says, 'Put back the dirt. If she has heard you, the dirt that's all over your body is going to fall to the ground. She'll take it back.' And I took the dirt that was in my hands and I put it back in the dirt. What happened next is as consequential to me today as when I first saw the light and received Jesus as my Lord and Savior. It was that real. It happened to me. As soon as I put back the dirt, oh, by the way, by that time the dirt had grown up to here. I could, the sensation that I'm being buried alive. It was going up. And I had the notion, I had the idea that if this thing gets to my nose, I'll suffocate. That's why I'm going to die."

"God wouldn't stop it. So that the witch's curse was actually being fulfilled in that moment that you wouldn't leave Africa alive."

"Yes. That is the crazy. What the? What?"

"So, so, so check this out. So I put back the dirt in the flower bed. God says she has heard. But I had no idea what's going to come next, what that looks like. Like I told you, this was not my theology. As a matter of fact, my theology at the time would have called that witchcraft."

"Right. That's the problem."

"Absolutely witchcraft. The theology I had."

"Yes."

"Out of out of the room and feeling justified. That was witchcraft. Speaking to the earth, speaking to dirt, you don't do that. Now, I am shocked that we never saw it. As a matter of fact, for your viewers who are watching us, this is why we are losing the battle of dominion because we misunderstand dominion. That day is the day I understood dominion. I read and I preached on Genesis 1:26-27. Never understood it. That's when I understood it. What dominion meant to Adam and what it should mean to us. I put back the dirt, uh, the in, in, whatever. In less than 30 seconds, I waited, and it happened. All that dirt that was covering me up to here fell to the ground with a thud. Ah, and I was released. And from my toes, the Zoe life of God began to percolate from my toes. It came up like electric current up my body. By the time it hit me over here, brother Cap, I was Superman. I had so much energy. I could have run a mile and not felt it. The transformation was that quick, was that, uh, was that immediate, it was that potent, it was that powerful. I knew then I'm going to leave and not die. I'm so excited. In my excitement, I told my mother, 'Stephen, God has done it. Let's go back in the hospital.' So I, I begin to go back to the hospital. I am not aware that I'm walking so fast with a new supernatural energy that my brother, who was the healthy one, who was my crutch, the whole time I was sick, couldn't keep up. It took him two minutes to get to the room, and I was waiting. He come, said, 'Whoa, what was that? I've never seen a man walk with those kind of strides.' I said, 'Oh.' He said, 'Oh my God, what happened to you?' I said, 'Stephen, God delivered me.' He said, 'Really?' I said, 'Deliver me. I'm done.' He says, 'I feel so fantastic. I've never felt healthier in my entire life.' But then, so I said, 'See, now it's 3:00, about close to 3:00 in the morning.' I said, 'Sid, sleep. You haven't slept. I don't need you anymore. I'm not a sick man. Go to sleep. Me and the Lord have some talking to do.'"

"Because that's the theologian in me."

"Yeah."

"I got to figure out what just happened."

"Yes."

"I've got to have word by word, precept upon precept."

"Yes."

"For what just happened."

"I need understanding is what you're thinking. Like you need."

"I need understanding."

"Wow."

"Especially if God wants me to take this to the world. I have a responsibility to make sure it's theologically accurate and will not take people into fetishism or witchcraft, which I hate with a passion."

"Right."

"All right."

"Right."

"And so I sit on my, on my hospital bed, my brother like this. I mean, feel like a million bucks, but but troubled theologically."

"Yeah. Yeah. I get."

"Grateful I'm delivered."

"Great."

"But troubled theologically."

"Yes."

"Because you can't deny what just happened."

"I can't deny what happened. It happened to me."

"Yeah."

"Going outside was not my idea. Talking to the, talking to dirt, to the soil, to the earth was definitely not my idea. All of it. And now I feel like this. How can I deny God did it? I know God did it. I was in a holy moment, but there was no theology for the experience. So I said, 'God, we need to talk.' And he said, 'I was expecting it. Why do you think I allowed it?' He says, 'You guys are losing the battle of dominion because you don't understand the power I gave you and how the earth works. You are losing to lower powers who understand what you don't understand.' And you, they almost killed you. And I said, I said, 'Okay, I'm waiting.' And the first question I asked God was, 'What was that? What was that?' You know what he called it, brother? You know what he called it? He said, 'Oh, that.' He, he said, 'Oh, that.' He said, 'That is the nuclear arsenal of the kingdom of God.' That's what I call it. It's a nuclear arsenal of the kingdom of God that my children are not using in the battle of dominion. And that's why they are losing nations. That's why they're coming second. That's why they're always the tail in the company of wizards because they, they don't understand the mysteries of creation, but those who hate them do. And he said to me, 'Francis, he said to me, "Open your Bible because we are going to talk because you're looking for the theology of it." I said, "Yes." He says, "I'll give it to you tonight." And mother opened up my Bible and the Holy Ghost started to teach. He said, "Francis," he said, "What you did outside there looks weird to you because you don't know I was the first one to do it, and I'm not weird."'"

"So good."

"'I'm the developer of the product.' It took me to Genesis 1 verse 11, as many times as I've read it. See, this is the power about revelation. You can read the information of the text and it has not yet been revealed to you."

"Right?"

"Because the day it's revealed to you, you will say, 'Oh my God.' You mean this is what it's been saying all this along? That's when revelation comes."

"Yep."

"And I saw it. Here's what he says. And God said, and the Holy Spirit said to me, 'Who is talking in the text?' I said, 'You.' Then he says to me, 'But to what?' I said, 'You are speaking to the earth.' Or you mean like you did outside. And God said, 'Let the earth bring forth grass and fruit trees whose seed is in themselves.' He said, 'Francis, why would I speak to the earth?' Number one, if the earth is dead. So, you know what your problem is? You think the earth is dead? He said, 'Francis, how can a God of life produce death? I am life. There's no death in me. Even the stones are alive.' My son told you, 'If you don't press me, even the stones will cry out.'"

"Mhm."

"He says, 'There is life in different dimensions. Yours is human life.' Yeah. So life has many variations. Even a fish has life, but it's not human life. So life is in many forms."

"Right."

"He says, 'The earth, he said, the first thing you must acknowledge if you are going to be restored to a place of dominion over the planet I gave you is understand how I designed it, 'cause I'm the designer, and now I'm explaining the design, and the design is the theology you're looking for. So let's start with me. Who am I speaking to?' I said, 'You're speaking to the earth.' 'Why would I speak to the earth if I never gave the earth a capacity to hear the voice of a speaking spirit? Is that not crazy?' I said, 'Yeah.' He said, 'Okay.' They said, 'I spoke to the earth, but that's not enough. If the earth can hear the voice of a speaking spirit, then it must respond because response is the acknowledgment that you've heard.' He said, 'What did I say to the earth? Grass, he trees.' So if the earth gives me what I asked for in the exact order I asked for, did you hear what I said?' I said, 'Yes.' Said, 'Look at the scripture. In verse 11, I'm speaking, and then I get quiet because in verse 12, I'm waiting for the product to respond. And the earth brought forth grass, he fruit trees, and then God said, "It is good." So you know what, what, what I mean by "it is good"? I'm certifying the product because no manufacturer ever m releases a product before it has been, it has passed testing. He says, 'I knew you were coming. I knew that on the sixth day of creation, I'm going to create my son and I'm going to transfer this authority that I have over creation to him. So just like I speak to creation to make it do what I want, the dominion I gave man is one of speech, and you guys don't speak.' He said to me, 'Francis, if you had not spoken to the earth outside there, you'd be dead. You come to heaven prematurely. I'll receive you, but you'd have missed much of your destiny. But aren't you glad you spoke?' Then he said to me, 'I, I know you're asking, do you know, do you want to know why I couldn't speak? I had the solution, but you know why I couldn't speak?' 'I couldn't speak to the earth myself.' I said, 'Wh says?' 'Because that would be cheating.' 'So what do you mean?' He says, 'I transferred the authority to speak to the earth to man on the sixth day of creation. Read your Bible. And God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. Let them now have dominion over what?" The earth. So now I gave the power to you. So if you are lazy and you don't talk to creation, you can't blame me if creation doesn't obey you.'"

"Which is why God told Adam to name the animals."

"Exactly. Man of God, that day changed my life."

"Holy moly. It changed my life, you know."

"Oh Jesus. Listen."

"I'm so, oh my gosh."

"Are you catching this?"

"Yeah. It's like as soon as you said that, you ever see like a firework go off and then the firework shoots off other little fireworks that explode? As soon as you said that, I'm thinking that's why Jesus came in the form of a man and spoke to the fig tree and told it to wither. That's why he rebuked the storm."

"Oh man, I love the word. It just connects."

"It all connects. It, it's, uh, there was another, there was another one that came to my mind too. Um, oh my gosh. Oh no. It's, it's fading away. It was so good. It was, uh."

"It's why you would also be able to speak to the wind."

"Spoke to the wind. It's why in Psalms it says that God, that the, that the earth was given to the children of men."

"It's why it says in first John, the devil is the lowercase G God of the age who stole that from. That's why Jesus in Revelation comes back as the lamb that was, uh, to take the title over the place or the, the, the parables when Jesus likens his father to a businessman who goes away and gives the authority to the servants to the servants of the vineyard."

"You messed me up, man."

"Oh man, I was, Jesus messed me up that day. The Holy Ghost messed me up and changed my life. Now, one of the things that comes out of this, I said to the Lord, I said, 'Lord, in, in the, the encounter I just had, why did you keep, uh, calling the earth? Why did you keep addressing the earth in feminine, in feminine terminology, like she and her?'"

"He says, 'Why would you call the earth a she?'"

"Mhm."

"You know, and God said to me, 'Because that's what I call her in the Bible.' And he took me to it. Can I read it to you?"

"Mhm."

"Genesis 4:8. Cain, which we'll talk about in the Blood Money book. It's all about Cain and Abel. So Cain just killed Abel and he thinks he got away with it because he doesn't know the earth was designed as a living creature, which it can also be a witness. That's why the Bible says in Deuteronomy, 'I place heaven and earth as witness against you this day.' Anything that can witness can be dead. Must be something to it. So watch this. How about this? This is, this is Gen, this is Genesis chapter 4. Oh my God. When you see it, I know you're going to go cra, you're going to go, you're going to go crazy in the Holy Ghost. Let's put it that way. Like I did. And Cain talked with Abel his brother. Watch this. And it came to pass when they were in the field, Cain rose up against Abel his brother and slew him. And the Lord said unto Cain, 'Where is Abel thy brother?' And he said, 'I know not. Am I my brother's keeper?' Now watch God change his language. Mhm."

"M."

"He begins to reference a witness that Cain was not aware of because Cain thought this is, see, this would be the perfect murder. There's no security cameras. There were no witnesses, and yet there was a witness. The earth was a witness."

"The land."

"The land was a witness."

"So if you kill somebody on the land, people may not know about it, but the land keeps a record. Verse 10. And he said, 'What have you done?' The voice. You think you got away with it, boy. You don't know how, you don't know how I designed creation. I am a genius God. It's nothing you can pull. You can't pull a wool over my head. You're too human to put a wool over the eternal counsel. It's like what God tells, is what God telling Job. 'Who is this who darkens counsel?' God's counsel is first finding out."

"Wow."

"You think you can pull a wool off my head? Do you know I, you living in a world I designed? You think I can be a victim in a world I designed? We just don't know the design. And he said, 'What have you done?' The voice of thy brother's blood cries to me from where? The earth, from the ground. And now watch this. This is, here comes. Now here it comes. When I saw this, I screamed in the hospital 'cause I never saw this before. 'And now thou art cursed from the earth.' He say, he said to me, 'Wait there.' He said, 'Francis, what did he say? "Now thou art cursed from the earth." He says, "So there are curses that don't come from God. They come from the earth. And if you don't know, you'll be praying to God instead of breaking the curse that came from it. Don't confuse the two." God said to me, "The reason I couldn't deliver you is because the curse that was about to kill you came from the earth. You had to do it." Now that I cursed, now, now thou cursed from the earth. God never cursed Cain. He's telling him what cursed him. The earth. People say, 'Oh, God cursed Cain.' No, he didn't. He judged him, but he never cursed him. He, he told him what cursed him, though. The earth has cursed you because you forced the earth to drink innocent blood, and she hates it.'"

"So she's a witness against you now in the courts of heaven. 'Now, thou art cursed from the earth.' Now, here comes the feminine phrase, 'which hath opened her.'"

"No way."

"What?"

"'Which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from your hand.' God caused the earth in feminine phrases. And I said, 'Lord, why?' He says, 'Because I built her. I built the earth on feminine technology.' So he said to me, 'As a matter of fact, he said to me, Francis, the earth and women are the same.' I said, 'What do you mean?' 'They are the only creature that have the gift of womb. You can't be a her unless you can prove womb. And womb is the intelligence to know what to do with seed. So when you give a woman sperm, she knows how to make a baby. You give the earth potato, she knows how to give a tree. You give her mango, she knows how to give a mango tree. Because the earth and the women share one gift, womb, that men don't have. So she's a sheep by by design because God wanted the earth to be exploited for harvest. How can she if she was built on masculine technology? So God built her on feminine technology so she can receive seed from a farmer and give him a harvest. Seed from this one and give you a harvest. If she didn't have womb, she couldn't produce the harvest.'"

"Brother."

"Wow."

"Are you catching this?"

"Yeah. I'm catching all of it and I'm going to, I'm going to be up all night now reading the word. This is insane."

"This is, you know, uh."

"Overwhelm. I'm so in the glory right now."

"You are in the glory. Amen. But man, but but but but you are in the glory. But but there's something you're also feeling. It's, it's what people feel when this revelation comes to them. Do you feel the dominion?"

"I feel a couple things. I feel a tremendous sense of authority."

"Yes."

"And a tremendous sense of a fear of the Lord."

"Yes."

"And the fear of the Lord is, you got to wake up and you got to redeem the land. You got to get to work."

"You see how that, how that one leads to the other?"

"Yes. Because the land can only be redeemed by God's children when they speak to, when they speak life into it. You see, the Lord said to me, 'The earth does not respond to prayer. You're wasting your time. Men respond to prayer.' He said, 'The earth only responds to speech because that's how I designed it.' God never, you never find, every time you find God with the earth, he's speaking to it. Why are you praying to? Why are you praying? Oh, are you? No, no, no, no, no, no. Speak to it. If it's, if the land is dead, I speak no more death in the land. The earth will respond because that's how she was designed to respond to speech, not prayer. So, I've heard people turn haunted houses into places of peace by speaking to the land. He said, 'But we've been praying.' He said, 'The earth does not respond to prayer. She responds to speech.' Let me give a couple examples. I had, um, I had a brother right now, Senior Jacobs, and I last year we were in Kenya dedicating a 3,000-member church, beautiful, in a very expensive, the most posh neighborhood of Nairobi where presidents, former pres, when they retire, all the upper echelons live there. So because of that, the zoning for a church is almost impossible. But this brother got a miracle. He was given because God had given him a promise 10 years ago that he's going to have a church in that area. How, Lord, it's almost impossible. These guys, they lock you out 'cause the rich people don't want noise. But he got some land. But here's the problem. For four years, he couldn't seal the deal. And so the one who was selling it to him got a new buyer, said, 'You know what?' And here's why they couldn't seal the deal. Every time they would go to try to, when, when they go to survey the land in order to, to go to the council so that you could finalize the deal, they, they had to be able to mark the parameters of the land, which, which they call, you have to find the beacons. In Africa, they call beacons. I don't know what they call in America. These are the points of where the land goes. So they'll be, the way they divide land in Africa is they put a beacon here, so, so then you follow the beacons to say, okay, this is my piece of property. So now the survey diagram now has this diagram around around the beacons and then goes presents, said, this is land, so you don't encroach on somebody's property. For 4 years, they couldn't find the fourth beacon. They would, they would look, they couldn't find that. That's not, they. So one day, one, you know what it is? One day I was so desperate, I went and lived on the land and I fasted 40 days. Nothing still changed. Then I came to his church, he's telling me about it. I said, 'I know why nothing has.' 'So what do you mean?' 'You are praying. Prayer is good for revival. Prayer is good for changing people. Not the land. You're not reading the Bible.' 'What do you mean?' I said, 'Have you spoken to the land to reveal the beacon? Why is it hiding from you? Speak to the ears. The land knows where that beacon is. Are you speaking to the land?' 'No.' 'I, I know you good.' I said, 'Take me to it.' He pokes me in the cup. God is my, my witness. So now we go to the land. We drive to the land. Beautiful land. Lot of trees and a stream in between that, like a stream that goes. So we're rare. And I said, 'Just pick up the dirt and won't even be along. I'm sure it's going to happen. God's going to surprise you.' So he picks up. I said, 'Pick up the dirt.' He says, 'You've been praying over the land, but the land has been longing to hear your voice because that's how God treats the land. He speaks to the land. You don't change what God created. God said the protocol, not you, and the land belongs to God. The earth is the Lord's. So she only listens to the protocol God gave her, which is speech. So witches don't pray over the land. They speak to the land. That's why they are cursing you all over the place, cursing your business, whatever. They just speak to it. So you speak.' So he got the dirt and I led him in a prayer. I said, 'Tell the earth the prophecy God gave you about the land. Earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord. The Lord, the Lord who created you gave you to me and my ministry for the kingdom. So you can't hide the fourth beacon. Wherever it is, it must be revealed. I command it now.' We prayed. I said, 'It's over.' He says, 'Just the prayer was less than 10 minutes.' Brother Cap, now he's this guy who's been fasting 40 days on the land, looking like skin and bones, trying to have a breakthrough. AND HERE I COME. IT'S ALMOST LOOK LIKE I'M I'M PLAYING JOKES 'CAUSE ONLY LESS THAN 10, 10 MINUTES. WE'RE DONE. WE'RE DONE. We begin to drive off the property. We didn't go far. We get a phone call. He has to turn around. See, you can't believe this. What? As soon as we left, watch what happened. When, uh, watch this, a python was discovered. The one of the biggest pythons to be discovered in that neighborhood was found by the workers. So they caught the zoo place. The zoo people, they came and picked up the python. Guess where the house of the python was? On the beacon they could never find. My friend closed the deal in about a month."

"Wow."

"And now he's built a 3,000 facility on it. That's beautiful. And I went to dedicate it with Cindy Jacobs."

"My gosh."

"Holy moly."

"That's the dominion we have that we are not using. There's something about the cup, you touched into when you, when your light bulbs began to go off. Yeah."

"It's a scripture you touched. I want to connect to that so that, uh, we can maybe move on from this. This is so, when you go here, you might not, we might not get out of here, but I want to get to the blood money. But we got some time too. So."

"You remember you said, you, you mentioned a scripture, 'For the earth, he has given the children of men.' You mentioned it when your, when your daughters were connecting."

"Yes."

"Well, that's a scripture that the Lord gave me when I asked him this question 'cause I was mad, in a way. I was, let me say, my religious spiritual pride was hurt by the experience I just went through. Here's why it was hurt. 'Cause I, I'm a man of God. I live, I live the, I live the walk. I'm not pretending. I have a prayer life to back it up. And then I've seen witches give their life to Christ in my crusades. So dealing with witches was, was not a new phenomenon for me. But these witches almost took me out. And I said, 'God, what door did I open? What happened?' He said, 'No, there are two reasons why it happened.' He said, 'Number one, I allowed it because how else would I reveal the mystery of dominion that you are not using, except I allowed you to feel the power of the earth when it's spoken to by somebody in spiritual authority.' You felt it. He said, 'Number two is because of Psalm 115:16.' And then I read it. He said, 'Francis, what does he say?' 'The heavens of heaven belong to the Lord, but the earth he has given to the children of men.'"

"Yeah."

"And then the Lord said to me, 'Francis, where in that scripture does it say the earth was given to born-again Christians?' And I saw it. I said, 'Lord, it doesn't say that.' It doesn't. What does it say? The earth was given to the children of men. And he says, 'Are the witches who try to kill you by speaking to the earth, children of men?' I said, 'Yes.' Then the earth had no choice but to obey the protocol I designed it for until your voice came in the field. He said, 'You see, in the absence of your voice, the earth will obey lower voices of dominion because my people who are the real people who are the real power on the earth are not speaking to the land.' So the land is moving in the direction of iniquity. That's why all of creation is groaning. It's like the, it's, it's like saying like this, I don't want to do this. I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS. I WAS MADE BY A RIGHTEOUS GOD, BUT YOU ARE MAKING ME DO WITCHCRAFT. YOU'RE MAKING ME DO DESTROY PEOPLE'S BUSINESS. WE, the earth does not want to cooperate with witches, but she has no choice because by God's word, she was given to the children of men. But the Bible says the Lord has put hope in all of creation, and the time is coming when the sons will rise, will understand who they are, and then all of creation will be delivered from the bondage of corruption by what? The rising of the sons of God. That's what Romans 8 says. Amen."

"That is so intense."

"So in a nutshell, a practical, you ask me redeeming the land."

"Yes."

"You repent. You, when you, here's how you redeem the land. Here's how you redeem the land in one, two points. So that people have that."

"Okay."

"Whenever you go, when you go to the land, you always have to assume there's iniquity on the land. Never assume the land is clean."

"You have to assume there's iniquity in the land."

"Yes. Yeah."

"Because you're better off assuming it."

"But if he doesn't have it, then you have no problem."

"Great."

"But if he does have it and you ignore it, you're going to have a problem."

"Got it?"

"So I always assume the land."

"It's really helpful, actually."

"I always assume the land is defiled."

"Okay."

"Okay. So when I go there, I assume the land is defiled. Then I go into the court of heaven because iniquities on the land create legal rights for Satan. And Satan and you see, spirits are not emotional. They're legalistic. M."

"God is legalistic, and the devil's legalistic, or you know, legalistic. So that's why Paul says, 'Do not give place to the devil,' because you, if you give him a legal right, he's going to use it."

"He's going to use that."

"So I, when I'm on the land, I go in the court of heaven."

"Why?"

"Because only a court of law can remove the regal rights of a spirit."

"And you can't take a spirit to the, to the U.S. Supreme Court. They will try to run you out of town, they'll think you are mad, because that's a human court."

"Mhm."

"Spirits must be taken to a spirit court, which is the courts of heaven. So I go there and I begin to repent on earth."

"How do you go to the courts of heaven?"

"By faith."

"Okay."

"By faith. So in other words, you enter that because remember, the courts of heaven, like God, are 24, are 24, the court because God, let me put this, God is the court. Daniel 7:10. And the court was seated. The, and the ancient of days was seated. And then the next verse says, 'And the court was seated because the ancient of days is the court.' Just like the judge is the court in any courtroom."

"Holy moly."

"So when you, so you step in by faith before the, the righteous judge, who's our heavenly Father."

"Yeah."

"And you simply say, 'Father, by faith in the finished work of Jesus, because that's the only reason why we have access to God, because of what Jesus did.'"

"Yep."

"You know, I step in the court of heaven by fa, in the court of heaven."

"I'm like, I'm trying to make this extremely practical. Forgive me for stopping because this is where people can get kind of hung up. Yes. But, um."

"So literally, this is, you're sitting down."

"You're just praying this."

"Yes."

"You're praying and you're saying, and, and you're saying what again? Give that, give that."

"Yes."

"That framework again."

"So the framework is always assume the land is defiled."

"Okay."

"That's number one. If the land is defiled, then somebody has to take initiative for the iniquity on the land."

"Okay?"

"So because you are a priest, a priest always takes initiative because the priest's anointing is standing in the gap."

"So now I stand in the gap for the land."

"My goodness. Wow."

"As a priest, that's the work of a priest."

"Yeah. So I, now as a priest, I enter the courts of heaven and I say, 'Lord, on behalf of the people who lived here before I got here, just in case they shed blood, just in case they were involved in witchcraft, I know all of those things are an abomination to the Lord. If they did any of those things, Lord, I know this land is sick, it's defiled, and so any legal rights the devil was given by those acts, today, as a priest, I petition you to cleanse those, to destroy those legal rights by the blood of your son Jesus, who redeemed all of creation.' It's pretty simple."

"It's pretty simple. And any spirit that's on the land because of those legal rights that have now been canceled by the blood of Jesus, I now command you, get out of here. That's it."

"Whoa."

"And the land is redeemed."

"Whoa. So, do you need to own the land?"

"You don't have to own the land."

"You don't have to own the land. Okay."

"Because, you know what? Your Father owns the land. The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof."

"Wow."

"But if you own the land, you have double rights because you, you own it by legally. So you have double rights."

"But we don't have to, because our Father owns it already. The earth is the Lord's. You see, God gave us dominion over the earth. You know what? He never gave us ownership."

"He still retains ownership."

"Yes. Yes. Yes. I'm so glad you made that clarification."

"Yes."

"He didn't give us ownership. He gave us dominion."

"Yes."

"Wow."

"And you'll be amazed how this simple formul, this simple, um, spiritual, um, protocol has turned a haunted house where where people were sleeping and they could hear things moving."

"Oh yeah."

"And all of a sudden, everything is gone. It's peace and quiet. Just that. Just that. Businesses that were struggling begin to prosper on the same property. Just that. Wow. I am so encouraged. Amen. Okay. Go redeem the land."
