Rooted and Grounded: Why Covenant Matters More Than Comfort | Rooted | Pastor Sandra Anderson

So we are starting a series the whole month of July on rooted,

being rooted and grounded and actually bearing fruit in the local

church.

And I love what Psalms 92:13 says.

Psalms 92:13

Those who are planted, everybody say planted in the house

of the Lord shall flourish.

Man.

You're going to be bearing fruit.

Those gifts and those talents that's inside of you, they're going

to be released.

The anointing is going to be released inside of you.

And so today we are going to dive deep in the word so that we

can understand what does it mean to be rooted and grounded and

bearing fruit in the church.

Amen.

Listen, Apostle Mike Signorelli, he is raising up an army.

So I'll tell you what it's going to look like when everybody

is rooted and grounded in the church.

Uh oh, are you ready for this?

There's going to be less poopy diapers.

Uh huh.

There's gonna be less tantrums.

Yes, yes.

You know what?

I'm gonna be the favorite of all the pastors today because I'm

gonna be saying things that they have said or want to say and

I'm gonna be their favorite.

So amen to that.

So when you are rooted and grounded, you realize that it is

not about your you anymore.

So you're going to come into the doors, you're going to go and

complete passport.

What you're saying is, God, I want a covenant to you and my church.

I want to submit to authority.

I want to release my gifts.

I want to go through the process, I want to be developed.

I want to have an attitude of humility.

I want to die to me.

And I want to be able to reach the lost.

So here I am, God.

But some people, they have a rogue spirit.

And the rogue spirit says, I don't submit to no one.

I don't need a church.

My church can be in my living room because I am the church.

And they don't want to, period.

Do you know any persons like that?

And you try to talk to them, but they don't want to have it because

they think that they're right.

Well, I can tell you what that is.

That's a little bit of Jezebel, witchcraft, leviathan.

And listen, V1 church.

We are apostolic, baby.

We are fivefold ministry.

And it is an honor and a privilege to be rooted and grounded

in this house.

We have people that want to church hop.

I call them a bunny.

Well, I'm going to go here today because I want to listen to

this pastor.

And then I want to go here because I Want to hear that, Pastor?

And I want to go this third church because I like to worship.

And you just hopping and bopping all over the place.

There's no rooting in you.

And then you've got people that have ungodly soul ties to all

these churches.

And there's bitterness.

Hello.

There's anger, there's offense.

Oh, the pastor offended me and he hurt me.

And the leaders there, they talked to me in the wrong way.

And so you cannot get rooted here because you got to deal with

that.

Who am I talking to?

We cannot get too comfortable.

And so today, baby boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, Gen Z, let me cook.

I'm coming for you.

Don't be looking at me like I'm crazy.

I'm coming for you because I want to help you.

Is that okay?

I don't know.

Is this mic on?

I said I want to help you.

Amen.

Cause I love you.

I didn't get up at 4:30 in the morning for nothing.

So could you please stand?

I want to wake you up a little bit.

See, this is old school.

Back in my day, every time the pastor preached, he would have us

stand for the reading of the word.

Oh, I see some smiles.

Oh, say you must know.

Okay.

It's the reading of the word.

Where's our physical Bibles?

Where's our notebooks and our cute little pens?

Come on, I am empowering you.

Go to Walmart, Target, go Marshalls, go get you a cute little

notebook and a cute little pen and take your notes.

Because these words that all of us pastors give, it is going to

feed you good.

So we're reading from Ephesians 4, 12, 15.

Their responsibility is to equip God's people to do his work

and build up the church.

The body of Christ, that's you.

This will continue until we all come into everyone say unity

in our faith and knowledge of God's Son, that we will be mature,

say mature in the Lord, measuring up to the full and complete

standard of Christ.

Then we will no longer be saved, immature like children.

We won't be tossed and blown away by every wind of new doctrine.

We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies

so clever that they sound like the truth.

Instead, we will speak the truth in love, growing in every way

more and more like Christ, who is the head of the church.

Amen.

You can be seated.

So what does it mean to be rooted?

I'm so glad that you asked.

V1 Brooklyn it means that you, when you get rooted and grounded

in this House, fivefold ministry.

And you say, I want a covenant here.

I want to become a member.

It's not about me anymore.

I want to serve this house.

I want to build.

I want to do whatever it takes to see this house grow.

That means you're going to start being stable in your life.

You're going to be firmly fixed.

You're going to be steady, and you're going to end up, in decades

from now, you're going to look like a pillar.

Now that's a mic drop right there.

You're going to be a pillar for the house.

When I think about all the decades hence, the gray hair, all

the decades ago when I was just starting out in the Spanish

ministry, and I think about how God had rooted and grounded me

all these years, and now here I am.

I'm a pillar in the church.

I am steady, I am firm.

I am fixed.

I am stable.

I am nourished.

You're going to be nourished in this house.

Matter of fact, you're going to sit at the table.

Come on, we got a table for you.

And you are going to eat filet mignon in this house.

We're gonna give you the meat.

The meat.

We got Pastor Eddie over there.

You want to go theology, you want to go deep?

Raise your hand.

Pastor Eddie.

There he is.

If you had any kind of questions, V1 College, you can challenge

him.

He'll give you the answers.

It's going to be biblically sound.

He's going to flex his muscles.

Now I got some muscles that Pastor Eddie just don't have.

Ooh.

We're going to be nourished when you get rooted and grounded

and you're going to bear fruit.

Why?

Because the word is going to be so ingrained in your belly and

it's going to come out and you are going to bear fruit.

You are going to be unmovable, not capable of being moved or shaken.

Listen, there's an anointing on your life and young kids.

The enemy.

He wants to take you out.

He wants to kill, steal and destroy.

And he wants to make you.

He doesn't want you to be unmovable.

He wants to pluck you up out of the church where God wants to

root and plant you like a tree planted by the river.

By the river bearing fruit.

Listen, there's a river that God wants to deposit in your belly

that will never, ever run dry come hell.

Water.

Come hell or rain, though the mountain be coming against you.

Sickness, disease, whatever it is.

There's a river that's in your belly and Every time you come into

this house, you'll find someone building, encouraging and

edifying you.

Stay the course.

Stay the course.

You're gonna be so grounded, stable, practical, level headed.

Oh, you're not gonna be a mess of confusion.

No, no.

You are gonna be level headed.

We're gonna give you so much wisdom that you're not going to know

what to do with except give it away.

And you're going to walk it out in wisdom, and you're going to

see the fruit of that wisdom in your life.

There's going to be an emotional maturity about you.

You're going to stay calm.

Sh, sh.

Stay calm.

Stay calm.

I know this trial is trying to take you out.

I know the temptation is right at the door.

It's knocking at your door.

Sh.

You're gonna stay calm.

Ah.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

No, that was the old you.

This is the new you.

I'm staying calm.

I'm gonna handle my.

Oh, emotions.

Oh, emotions.

You better get in check.

Feelings.

We do not respond.

We cause our feelings and our emotions to what?

Line up with the word.

So when fear, anxiety, panic attacks, try to get a hold of you.

God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and

a sound mind.

I will trust in the Lord with all my heart.

I will not lean into my own understanding.

But with all of my ways, I will not acknowledge him and he will

guide my path.

Then I'll start speaking in tongues.

I want to change the atmosphere.

I'm gonna change my atmosphere.

The devil ain't gonna have me.

Stay calm, handle emotions, not react out of impulse.

You're gonna have a maturity in the mental area of your mind.

You're gonna think before acting.

You're gonna learn from your mistakes.

Yeah.

I fell down.

Mm.

I fell down.

Oh, the devil got me.

But guess what?

I'm gonna rise up and I'm gonna be stronger.

I'm gonna learn from everything that my campus pastors

are teaching me.

Correcting me, disciplining me.

I'm gonna learn.

I'm gonna put these boundaries, these cones all around

me, just like Pastor Eddie said.

That's my protection.

So I'm going to think before I act, and then I'm going to now make

sound decisions.

So if I got to contact the leader, I need help.

I need to help to make sound decision.

Pastor Eddie, I may need your help, but I'm going to go to a leader.

Leader's like, I got you.

I got you.

We're going to help you work this Problem this situation out.

And then you're going to have a spiritual maturity about you.

You're going to trust God.

You're going to choose obedience no matter what.

And then you're going to see that you're going to bear fruit.

Fruit of the Holy Spirit.

Now, I would love to stay there, but I got to keep this message

moving.

You're going to have signs of maturity when you decide to covenant

and become a member in this house to get rooted.

So what are some of the signs of maturity?

You are going to now take responsibility for your actions.

You mean what?

I can't blame my mommy, I can't blame my daddy, I can't blame

my spouse?

No, it's me, God, here I am.

They may had a little part played into it, but God, it's me.

I'm taking full responsibility for my choices and my decisions.

Doesn't that sound like maturity?

Yes.

And then you're going to walk in the fruit.

You're going to listen more than you speak.

Practice that, man.

If I would have just listened more than my big mouth running, maybe

I would have learned something when I was younger.

So I'm telling on myself.

But when you walk in a level of maturity, you're going to listen

more than you speak.

You are not going to need to prove yourself to others.

You know why?

Because your character, baby, is going to speak all by itself.

You ain't going to have to prove to nobody.

They're going to see your character.

You're going to be quick to forgive.

Do you know that when you wake up, you can say to the Holy Spirit,

I will not be offended.

Period.

Not today.

I will not be offended.

You can actually say that.

And the tests are going to come.

People are going to try their best to get you offended.

But because you said, I choose to not be offended, you're going

to walk that out and see the fruit of it.

You're going to walk in a level of humility and gentleness,

putting others first.

You're going to grow in knowledge of God's word.

You're going to then exercise your authority based on the word

of God because that's power.

The more words you know, the more power you release.

Amen.

And you're going to grow so much in God's word Word that now

you're an evangelist to the lost.

You're going to handle trials now with patience and prayer.

Now, before, you handled trials completely different.

Maybe you went to the bottle, maybe you exited the church and stayed

away and isolated.

But now, because you're Learning to get rooted and grounded.

God is helping you.

You have much more patience.

And now you go to prayer.

I'm going to pray about this.

I'm going to worship my way through this.

I'm going to praise my way through this.

Come on, somebody.

You won't be an easy prey for the false teachers, false doctrine

out there.

At V1, we have many teachers, but we have one spiritual father,

and we have to be very careful with, when we're scrolling on our

phone.

The person that's preaching and teaching, we don't know them.

We don't know who they belong to, what church they come from.

They could be preaching and teaching anything.

And because we think it sounds good, that could actually be a false

prophet or a false teacher.

So we've got to stay within the bounds of.

I like what Apostle Mike has done.

He's brought many outside prophets, pastors, teachers from

other churches.

In here, then.

They preach here.

They prophesy, they do their ministry.

We know that.

That is good seed.

There's a protection there.

At V1, we have no sick babies, like spiritual babies.

Oh, y' all ain't gonna be sick.

We're gonna feed you.

You're gonna be looking like a butterball.

You may once have come in broken and discouraged, but guess

what?

We're a hospital.

And we're gonna make sure that you are gonna get everything that

you need so that you can now walk in wholeness.

Because at the end of the day, you're going to see.

3 John 1:2.

3 John 1:2

Beloved, I wish above all things that you would prosper, even

as your soul prospers, and that you would be in health.

So God wants your soul, which is your mind, will and emotions,

to prosper and your body to prosper.

So your soul, your spirit, your body, it's all connected.

Then you're going to walk out of Philippians 1:6 being confident

Philippians 1:6

of this, that he who hath begun a good work, and you will carry

it out to completion.

God has a ministry for everyone.

He has something for you to do, and he's going to bring it to

fruition.

Your job is not to quit and stay rooted and grounded.

No.

No matter what the storm, no matter what the test.

Amen.

So a church full of spiritually strong people who feed

others, not just themselves, you're gonna walk in unity, and you're

going to grow in love.

Listen, we have to understand that we are a family.

I'm your mama, I'm your nana.

Okay?

We are a family, and we need each other.

So we've got to stay together.

One of the enemy's tactics is to get you to isolate.

Well, you know, they hurt me.

They said something.

Okay, I'm going to isolate.

I'm done.

What kind of attitude is that?

No, you're not done, missy.

Right here.

Take the seat.

Take the seat.

We're gonna help you.

We're gonna help you.

Unity and love.

Rooted people are not easily offended or divided.

They recognize the need.

Are you ready for this?

You better be ready.

Discipline, correction.

Pastor Eddie.

Go ahead.

Correct me.

Correct me.

Correct me as many times as you need to.

Pastor Jocelyn disciplined me as many times as you need to.

I embrace it because I'm walking in a level of maturity.

I once was all crazy and wild, but my butt needed to be broke like

a horse.

But Pastor Jocelyn, here I am.

Discipline me because I'm at a place now that I want to walk in

maturity.

I want to be accountable.

Pastor Jocelyn, I gotta tell you my business.

Yes, girl, you do.

Cause you wild and you crazy and you're confused.

Sit down.

Sit down.

Pastor Jocelyn.

I want to be accountable.

Give me a leader.

Oh, because the next time that that man tries to come and knocking

at my door, I want to have something sex with me.

I'm gonna call my leader.

If I can't handle it, that's accountability.

We don't want to know your business, but we do want to know

your business to help you.

Then you're not going to fall in the trap that the enemy has for

you.

This is being rooted and grounded, baby.

Make me accountable.

Oh, I know it's uncomfortable.

Come, Come to my deliverance the first Wednesday.

I'll get you delivered.

I'll cast them demons out so you can get mature.

So you can start getting rooted and grounded.

Can I get an amen?

Do you still love me?

So we submit to delegated authority right here.

Delegated authority.

We submit.

Well, you know Pastor Jocelyn.

I passed her, and she didn't even say hi to me.

I'm mad at her.

Get over it.

Maybe.

There's a lot of 10 things that Pastor Jocelyn has on her mind.

Let's pray for her, let's encourage her, and let's be the bigger

person.

So submission, discipline, correction, accountability, submission.

That is God's way to protect us.

I'm protected now.

I'm protected.

The Lord corrects the people he loves and disciplines those he

calls his own.

We receive correction from parents, spouses, bosses.

Oh, but we get into church.

I don't know who you talking to, Pastor Jocelyn.

I don't know who you was talking to.

And we just want to have these attitudes.

Pastor Jocelyn told me to go clean the toilet.

Eye roll.

Doesn't she know that I'm called to preach?

I roll.

Come on now.

We have these attitudes in the church and you know it.

Here's the chair.

Take a seat.

We're about ready to school you.

Who?

It's getting hot in the kitchen today.

We finna cook today.

But yet when we come into the church, we can't tell you nothing.

I had a woman on zoom.

It was a soul care zoom.

And it was two hours.

I devoted my time for two hours for this teaching.

And the poor woman, she had a lot of things going on.

And so I let her speak, but I couldn't let her speak for 30 minutes,

20 minutes, 15.

It was a lot because we had a two hour Zoom.

And she got so offended.

That said, I'm leaving the church and I'm not giving V1 Church

another dime.

Oh, I'm sorry.

I thought you were giving it to God.

I said, I told her.

I said, I'm so sorry.

I said we have a time frame.

I tried to be very gentle and kind.

I'm sorry for what you've gone through.

I want to help you, but if you could please understand, we only

have so much time.

We can't have you share your whole life story.

Maybe just a portion within the time frame.

Oh, no, no.

I'm leaving the church and I'm taking my money with it.

And I'm going to tell Apostle Mike what happened.

Okay, well, go ahead.

But I tried to help her.

But you see the attitude when you are not rooted and grounded,

all kind of ugly, messy attitudes within the church.

And we want to help you to what?

Walk in maturity.

And so get ready for when the correction comes.

Oh yeah, correct me.

Here I am.

Because, man, I want to grow, Pastor Justin.

I want to grow.

I want to learn.

I don't want to stay at this level anymore.

I want to go higher and higher and higher.

From faith to faith and glory to glory.

Cause there's a calling on my life.

I know I'm anointed to do something for God.

There's greatness that's in my belly.

So if that's what it takes, baby, discipline me and correct me.

I will sit in this chair as long as it takes.

As long as it takes.

Because I have not arrived.

I don't know who I'm talking to, but stop fighting the delegated

authorities.

Stop fighting your leaders.

Stop fighting your campus pastors.

Stop fighting and say, God, it's Me.

It's me.

I'm not trying to figure it out anymore.

I am going to say submit to the process.

You are the potter and I'm the clay.

I give you permission to mold me, break me, shake me, prune me,

cut me, cut me, God, whatever you gotta do, cut me, break me, shape

me, prune me.

Here I am.

Now, I said that kind of prayer decades ago, and I meant it.

I was a runner.

And every time somebody said something that I didn't like, I had

a hard time because I was broken.

I was bruised.

I had so much trauma and pain.

And I had to learn to sit in this chair and go through the process.

And there's some things that the pastors are going to say that

you're not going to like.

Oh, well, get over it.

They're trying to help you.

They love you.

No one is against you here.

We love you.

We have patience and long suffering, and we want to see you

come through to fulfill your purpose and destiny.

Whoo.

It's getting hot in this kitchen, y'.

All.

But here, people that are easily offended.

I want you to get this.

They normally have an orphan spirit.

There's rejection, abandonment, an orphan that you're

dealing with.

There is no maturity in their emotions, so therefore, they just

talk any away because there's no.

They're led by their feelings, they're led by their emotions.

And they feel rejected all the time.

They think everyone is against them and they overreact and there's

low self esteem and they have trauma, probably from the past, and

they're highly sensitive, and they take things way, way, way, way,

way too personal.

You know anyone like that?

But we've got to come to a place where we say, God, it is not

about me.

Oh, man.

Oh, thank you, Holy Ghost.

Ooh, man, I've been having myself on the throne.

I've been entertaining.

I need deliverance from Leviathan, from Jezebel.

Huh?

Mentu.

I got gossip, bitterness, anger, unforgiveness, low self esteem,

rejection, condemnation, guilt, shame.

I mean, I got it all.

And I bring all that into here.

And I expect my pastors to be so perfect and just say the right

nice thing to me.

But no.

Pastor Eddie.

Oh, my goodness.

He's not talking so nice to me.

Actually.

He's talking the word as a father should.

But I perceive it as, I'm rejected.

He's mad at me.

I can never measure up.

I'm a disappointment.

What am I doing in this church?

I don't belong here.

I'm just a failure.

I'm an orphan.

And I just want to throw in the towel and quit.

I'm done.

I can't get it right.

And that is how I perceive a healthy.

A healthy father Pastor.

But all of a sudden, when I allow Pastor Eddie and Pastor Jocelyn

and the leaders in this house to actually, I take the seat, I'm

gonna sit my big butt down.

Well, actually, it's a little butt, but it's a little butt.

Wish it was a big butt, but it's a little butt.

And I'm gonna sit my little butt down.

Okay.

Ain't got no butt, y'.

All.

None.

And guess what?

I'm gonna wait.

I'm gonna take notes.

Every time Apostle Mike preaches, I'm going to gleam from

that.

And then I'm not going to be easily offended.

I know the trap.

I know the trap.

It's a bait.

Bait, bait, bait.

I'm not going to let the enemy bait me.

And yes, am I going to see Pastor Moses for deliverance?

Oh, you bet I am.

And I'm gonna repent and renounce all these demons that I

have allowed in my life, right?

And then I'm gonna take correction and discipline.

I'm going to allow them to help me to grow and mature.

And then I want to start serving.

Pastor Jocelyn, Pastor Eddie, with your permission, do you think

that I'm healthy enough to serve?

Start serving because I want to.

And when they release.

Yes.

So guess what they're going to say.

Probably go to V1 Kids.

Where's Ms. Mallory Hayward?

That's the director of V1.

Ms. Mallory, if I meet all the requirements, can I be a part of

this man?

I want to help the next generation.

Can I preach or teach or prophesy pray for these children,

Ms. Mallory?

Oh, yes.

Let's do it.

I will equip you.

I will build you.

I will take you through the guidelines.

But see, we can't be rogue so much in this house.

There's work for everybody.

Is that right, Pastor?

Is that right?

There's work for everyone.

Where's the nanas and the grandpas?

Where you at?

Where you at?

I'm coming for you right now.

You need to go and V1 kids.

And you need to start praying.

Once you go through the steps.

Once you go through the steps and be a blessing to those children,

some of you young kids, I'm coming for you.

Go, go.

V1 kids.

They need much more workers in that department.

That's the next generation.

That's where I started in the children's ministry.

I'm not Trying to boast, but them children love me.

I'm just not.

I'm not trying to boast, but they did.

And I would get down on their level, and I would talk to them,

and I would look at them in the eye, and I would break the word

down to where it was real fun.

Can you please, please come back?

Oh, you bet I can.

Because I'm rooted and I'm grounded.

Oh, you bet I can.

See, they'll start loving you, but we have to do it.

And when you're rooted and grounded, man, you're going to say,

oh, when's the offering coming?

I want to give my first fruits because I'm rooted and I'm grounded.

And I want to give to God's house.

Oh, I'm not going to tip God.

Oh, people that aren't rooted and grounded.

Hey, I'm feeling good today.

I'm going to give God a 20.

Oh, okay, that's good.

That's good.

But rooted and grounded people, they know what the word says.

You cannot pay me to not tithe.

Oh, you got a million dollars.

Keep it.

Because my God, he's got more than a million.

And I'm trusting him every time.

I put my first fruits and my offerings in the place at V1 Church.

Because I'm giving to God, baby.

I'm giving to God, and I'm trusting him with everything that

I have.

And God says that he's gonna make the windows overflow, the heavens

overflow.

He's gonna open up the windows and cause blessings to come when

you are faithful.

Faithful, faithful, rooted people, grounded people.

Oh, where's my paycheck?

Number one.

God.

God number one.

Everything else, I don't know if I can afford it.

That's not my problem.

That's not my problem.

My problem is put God first.

That's his problem.

Oh, that's a mic driver.

That's not my problem.

God's going to teach me how to steward my money.

God's going to help me to pay all of my bills on time when I put

him first.

We have people here that can help you get your finances in order.

Amen.

And then the last one.

We are rooted and grounded people.

They serve.

What you mean when I come in here, I want to be served?

I want the right song.

I want the right word.

I want my coffee when I want it.

Like I come to be served.

Get out of here with that junk.

We rooted and grounded people.

How can I serve?

How can I serve?

It's not about me no more.

What's the Sacrifice.

Oh, I'll pay it.

I'll pay it, man.

This is a level right here.

To be behind this pulpit and this mic, baby, that decades and

decades and decades and decades and decades of being rooted

and grounded by praying, sacrificing, saying, God, put me

in.

Coach.

I just want to do your will.

I want you to stand.

It's time to stop running.

I don't know who I'm talking to, but you are a runner.

It's time to stop running.

I cut that cord off of your foot.

Foot.

Now, in the name of Jesus.

That demonic cord, I cut it off in the name of Jesus.

Some of you are so much into your emotions and your feeling.

I break that off of you now, in the name of Jesus, you're about

to come into a place of maturity.

When you do the work, you bring that notebook, you take notes

on your phone, whatever it takes.

God, I'm going to rehearse this word every single day.

Day.

Some of you are so.

You are so rejected, abandoned and orphaned.

I can feel you in the spirit.

And you get so offended at anything and everything.

I break that off of you now in the name of Jesus, Devil, you will

not have God's people in this house.

In V1 online, I'm speaking to you, and I decree in the name of

Jesus that you are going to flourish.

Every campus at V1, I'm speaking to you, and I declare that

you.

You will flourish.

When you get rooted and grounded, God's got more for you.

There is greatness locked up inside of your belly.

Greatness.

And if you'll stay the course, if you'll say God, come hell or high

water, sickness, disease, whatever it is that the enemy is

trying to come against you.

If you'll say, God, this is where I'm going to get rooted and

grounded.

This is where me and my house, we're going to flourish.

This is where I get to serve.

I get to.

I get to serve.

What an honor and a privilege that I get to serve.

I get to submit.

I get to be disciplined.

What an honor that I need that I get you some into authorities that

know just a little bit more than me that will help me, that I

can learn and grow and be stable and calm and walk in victory.

Victory.

Victory.

One victory after another.

One victory after another.

I just keep seeing young people and the enemy's words waiting

for you at those doors.

He's waiting for you because he wants to kill, steal, and destroy

you because you're right here.

You're here in this house.

This.

This is Apostolic.

I'm telling you, this is a level.

This is an apostolic house.

And the enemy hates an apostolic house because we're global,

we're international, we're everywhere.

And Apostle Mike is building churches.

He is a builder.

That's an apostolic pastor.

He's an apostle.

So the fact that you're here, young man, you right there in the

blue shirt with the brown hair.

You right there.

Yes, you.

The enemy hates you and he wants to take you out because you

are here in this house.

But I cancel every contract and every assignment sent from the

enemy over your life now, in the name of Jesus, and I release

a fresh anointing over you now, in Jesus name.

I'm a warrior.

I'm a general.

And I will fight.

I will fight.

I don't care how long it takes.

I will fight until every demon is out.

And you are walking in victory.

And young people, you look at me.

You look at me in my eye.

Millennials, Gen Z, Gen X, Gen Y, baby boomers.

I don't care who you are, you have a purpose.

You have a destiny to fulfill.

You are not an accident.

God has a book written with your name on it, things that you

will fulfill in your lifetime.

And the key.

I'm giving you keys right now.

And I'm coming to a close.

You're gonna take the key and you're gonna say, this is where you're

gonna make that choice.

I'm not telling you what to do, but if you feel like this is

your home and you want that fivefold apostolic ministry in your

life, you say, this it.

I'm drawing a line.

I'm drawing a line in the sand.

And I decide today I'm going to join teams.

I'm going to go through passport.

I'm going to covenant, become a member.

I want to put God first in my family finances.

I want to serve with everything within me that I'll serve

and have a toothbrush ministry.

When I came here, I came here cleaning toilets, loading loadout.

I served in V1, kids ministry, the prayer ministry, anywhere and

everywhere.

Put me in apostle.

What do you need?

What do you need?

Here I am.

Here I am.

Now, I may not have the muscles like Pastor Eddie to do that,

but I did it.

And I didn't even hurt myself.

Because, you know, bones my age, you got to take care of them.

So did you get something out of this man?

I couldn't sleep last night because all I kept thinking about

was people not wanting to sit in the chair, not wanting to be discipled,

not wanting to come under accountability, wanting to be rogue,

wanting to just run at every little offense.

Let's let God do what he wants to do in our life.

Amen.

So, Father, I thank you for every person that's here online and

in every campus.

I bless them in the name of Jesus.

I cancel contracts and assignments from their life.

I plead the blood of Jesus over every family, children, grandchildren.

And I thank you, God, that we're going to have so many teams

that are going to flourish.

But volunteer serving, the generosity is going to go off the

charts because we're going to start walking in obedience and we

are going to Covenant and become a member at V1 Church so that

we can bear fruit in Jesus name.

Amen.

Thank you, Jesus.

Nobody but Jesus.

Jesus.
