Interrupted Pt. 2 Mother's Day

This is Ronald Hopkins, and thank you for joining the Life Center Church.

Thank you, Father, that not only do you hear us when we pray, but you answer us when we pray.

In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.

Praise Him.

Thank you.

Family, you all can be seated this morning.

Tell somebody hello or something.

Act like y'all a church family.

You know each other.

Thank you all so much for coming out this morning and celebrating mothers to all the mamas, to all the Wawas.

Huh?

Yeah, it's fine.

Um, all the Wawas, the Ainties, the Auntie Lulie Bells, the Nanas, the taxi car drivers, the short order cooks, because I straight was a short order cook the other day.

Everybody wanted something different in the house.

Pastor wants something different.

My son wanted something different.

I was like a short order cook.

We just want to say thank you, mamas, thank you, ladies, for your sacrifice every day that you make for your families to make sure that your families are well.

There is an anointing on us as just women to manage multiple different things.

And so I just want to tell you all, well done, well done.

You might not necessarily be where you desire to be, but I declare in the name of Jesus that today will be a turning moment and that you'll start to see the promises of God become a reality in your life.

Amen.

Receive that by faith.

Receive that.

So for those of you all who are visiting this morning, clearly, I'm not Pastor Hopkins.

Clearly, clearly, uh, he is my phenomenal husband.

And uh as stated again that they are on their way to Nigeria, and I am excited about what the Lord is going to do because I know what happened in my heart when we went to Nigeria and how my life individually and personally was violently transformed as a result of seeing other people in their faith and how they just expected to receive God in unusual ways that I just don't normally see here in America.

And so I I inquired of the Lord.

Well, first I do want to say this how many of you all were at Grow Girl on Friday?

My God in heaven, if I can give you all a sneak peek in regards to what happened, the wind of the Lord came in that place.

The wind of God blew in that place, and people started being delivered.

I'm talking about from all types of things, almost to the I don't know if I was gonna be able to control it.

I was like, I stood back like, what's going on?

What's happening?

What is happening here?

So, to that point, what we did was in the Grow Girl series, and we have one more coming up, and I have a reason that I'm telling you all this, and I'll tell you at the end, because we covered the first part, we covered uh spirit, because I'm very, very interested, ladies, in your spiritual depth and your weight.

I'm very interested in you being weighty in the spirit realm.

Then also we covered the body.

We were breaking some of those soul cycles that kept you all.

Y'all were just cycling, just cycling, wasn't going nowhere, just cycling, just cycling, wasn't going anywhere.

And then uh we covered the body on Friday, and what we did was we covered the different ways that healing can be manifested in the body through communion.

So we took communion through the anointing, all this, because that's Holy Spirit in the bottle, and then the through the laying on of hands, and even we talked about how your body can be healed through God's food, because some of y'all eating snicker bars and all this processed food and it's tearing your body up on the inside, it's tearing it up, and so as a result of that, anytime that you actually teach on a thing or invite the Holy Spirit to come in, he will show up.

And so, as a result, what I if you register, because there were a good number that registered but did not come for whatever reason, if you registered for Grow Girl on Friday and you did not come, then I'm making available to you the packet that we had.

So in the back at the end of service, I want you to have that information because at the end I gave 30 days of declaration over your life and your body.

When we had the women's conference and getaway last year, it was May.

Was it May last year?

It was May last year.

We were at the Grand Travers Resort and Spa.

We had a moment where I had the ladies write down what they were facing on an um a sticky note.

It was different-colored sticky notes.

They came and brought those sticky notes to the altar, laid them on the altar, and we all laid on those things, prayed over those things.

When I got home, I started reading them.

95% of them was about physical healing in the body.

I disease, diabetes, uh uh uh vein issues, high blood pressure.

And here's the thing: every last one of you all, as an individual that's in this room right now, there is a purpose why your two feet stand on this earth.

You are not an accident.

There is a plan that the Lord has for your life, but the way that you execute that plan is through this machine called the body.

This is a machine, it's a very, very, very skillfully crafted machine.

There are 12 systems in this thing called the body, between your skeletal system, your endocrine system, your nervous system, your lymphatic system, and it's all operating so that you can do one thing and that's fulfill the call, purpose, and plan that's on your life.

So, if you did not come, but you registered, I want you to have that information, okay?

Ladies, thank you.

So this morning, some of the fellas like, okay, I heard what y'all did for the girls.

What are we talking about this morning?

It's Mother's Day.

I want to get to the meat of this thing, Minister Adrian.

So this morning, I inquired of the Lord in regards to what he would have us to share on this morning.

And my objective this morning is to weaponize you with power through understanding your words.

Because right now, I think we need to do a little bit of maintenance.

Just like you take your car to get your oil change.

Sometimes I think what happens is if we don't consistently hear teaching on this nature, we become a little laxed and loose in certain areas.

And the one thing that the enemy is after, he's trying to hijack your words, and there's a reason why.

He's trying to hijack the things that you say, he's trying to hijack your perspective so that you can begin to decree them out of your mouth.

Because you, as a believer, when you have the Holy Spirit of God on the inside of you, you're already weaponized.

So, whatever you're saying, you're building, whatever you're saying, you are authorizing it to come to pass in your life.

Your words, it is your words, it is your words, and I'm gonna give you a great example of how important our words are.

Jesus said, Let it, God said, light be, and it just showed up.

And He has given us the same skill and creative ability.

But what happened is we begin to become so loose with it by what we are consuming.

What does your consumption look like?

I was telling the ladies on Friday, and I'm gonna tell you all a story.

This TikTok I saw because I just got on TikTok, y'all.

I just got on TikTok.

And so there was a man, and uh, for the ladies who were here, this is a repeat story, but sometimes people that have not heard it, they need to hear it again.

And I thought the story was so powerful that it bears repeating.

So, this guy, he was on a plane, and there was a woman sitting next to him, and so he just decided to chat it up with the woman sitting next to him, and the woman decided to tell him that she was fasting, and so he was like, he was a believer.

He was like, Oh my goodness! So you must be a Christian, you must be a believer because you're fasting.

Because typically we associate fasting with the Christian lifestyle, correct?

The lady said, No, I'm not a Christian.

He's looking like fasting.

She said, I'm not a Christian, she said, I'm a witch.

I practice witchcraft, and what I'm doing right now is we're fasting to increase in power.

And right now on this plane, I'm headed to a conference with other witches and the hour coven so that we can increase in power.

And see, and she said, We're all fasting.

Your fasting comes by breaking your flesh, and you increase in power when you do.

And so he said, Wait a minute.

So she's a witch and she's fasting?

So she said, Yeah, and there was a reason why they were fasting.

The whole purpose for this whole conference, and the reason why they were fasting and breaking the flesh and trying to increase in power, because the one goal was this to actually put curses on pastors' children.

They had understanding of this instrument that God already preordained for you and I, called our words, the authority in our words, the command that we have, and these things are very, very real, and we deal with them every week here at the Life Center Church.

So today I'm taking y'all to the oil place.

What you call the oil place?

What's the name of that place?

Oil change place.

Okay, that's it.

Y'all was like, what place you talking about?

So if some of you Honda Ford, you all get what I was trying to say.

Who uh um mama said up here, Lexus, don't play with her, the Lexus dealership.

So you all saw the advertisement, and the the meeting this morning is called Interrupted.

And I'm gonna tell you all one other story really quickly about how I became interrupted.

I was at a conference, I was in a season of my life where I was hungry for the things of God, and I didn't know even where the starting point was.

I knew that some things were changing in my life, and I decided to go to this women's conference.

Some of you all might have heard this story before.

And so when I interrupted, and so when I got to this women's conference, the speaker said something that I thought was so powerful that blew the roof off the place, and the speaker said, the enemy wants to keep the word from you because he knows that your answer is in it.

She said, the devil wants to keep the word of God from you because he knows, because he knows that your answer is in it.

And I realized in that moment, based on all of my activities to that point, I had been interrupted because I was on a journey of pursuit for the Father, but things began to come in that took my attention, my attention.

The Bible talks us, talks about to give our more earnest heed to the things that we have already heard, lest at any time we let them slip.

He says, attend to my word, uh give your tend to my word, incline your ear to my saying, and attend to my word.

And the reason why there is a very, very violent agenda is because if he can get your attention, he can get your words, and if he can get you declaring it, because you have authority, he's using your authority against yourself.

Why are words so powerful?

We command demons out every week with our words, even when you went when you received Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior.

How did you do it?

With your words, and with my words, something very unusual happened in the spirit realm.

My name was written in the Lamb's book of life in the invisible realm with my words, with my words.

Some of you all in this place today need to change your words because you've been interrupted by pain.

Some of you all have been interrupted by past traumas, rejection and fear, failed relationships, abandonment, and disappointment.

And now your attention is on the disappointment and not on the solution, it's your words.

And this morning we're going to reroute those things this morning.

Amen.

So, what I my title of the message is this reroute your interruption.

Now, when you look at what the word interruption means, it means to stop in the midst of doing or saying something.

So, why do interruptions come?

They come to delay.

The enemy is coming to delay the promises of God uh from becoming a reality in your life, delaying your forward movement into the call of God on your life.

They're coming to arrest you, and interruption comes to arrest you and keep you stuck in cycles that you don't know how to get out of.

Cycles.

You're stuck in those cycles.

I know.

Interruptions come to separate, they come to sever, they barge in because they don't give a care about what you think about it or your little feelings.

They barge in.

Interruptions, disappointments come between.

And there are two different ways that interruptions can take place.

Number one, when the enemy shows up with an interruption, there's carnage.

There is carnage.

But guess what?

God can show up with interruptions too.

And when he shows up, there's glory, there's rebuilding, there's training.

Just look at the three Hebrew boys in the fire.

Jesus showed up and interrupted, and they walked out of that fire.

Didn't even smell like smoke when he interrupted.

When he interrupted.

So let's get into this teaching on today.

And I'm gonna jump around a little bit here because I'm already like at the end and the beginning, all those things.

I want to start with 2 Corinthians 2 and 10.

Really quickly, I'm just gonna cover this very basic, but I want to give you all these scriptures so that you can have these in your repository because you need something to fight with because you're in a war, and the enemy knows that you're in it.

But what he wants to do is to keep you darkened in your understanding.

Because when you don't have understanding, then you don't know how to fight.

You're coming into a fight where they have knives, guns, AK-47s, Glocks, grenades, and then here you show up with a butter knife.

What you gonna do with that butter knife?

Spread some butter.

Second Corinthians chapter 2.

2 Corinthians 2 · chapter mention

To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also.

For if I forgave anything, to whom I forgave it, for your sakes forgive I it.

Um let me read this from the ESV.

That's a lot of words.

Anyone whom you forgive, I also forgive.

Indeed, what I have forgiven.

If I have forgiven anything, has been for your sake in the presence of Christ, so that we would not be outwitted by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his designs.

The Bible says that we should not be ignorant of Satan's devices.

It says, lest Satan should get an advantage of us, we should not be ignorant of his devices.

So basically, the scripture says that when we're ignorant of Satan's devices, that he'll get he'll take advantage of us.

We will be outwitted.

But oftentimes we have no clue of all of the resources that we have as believers, and one of those is the power of your command through your words.

The goal is for him to outwit you, to outwit you, to outsmart you.

And there are demonic spirits that have been in this earth way longer than you have been alive.

There are monitoring spirits like cameras that are recording everything that's happening in your home, and they're taking it back as intel to actually demonize and also to uh uh focus in on your destruction.

So let's talk about this this morning.

Point number one.

I'm gonna do like pastor this morning because clearly it's more organized when he does it this way.

Point number one, your mouth is your weapon, it is your weapon, and what you dispense from it, it will come to pass.

Now, some of you all might say, Well, I've been saying this all this time and ain't nothing come to pass.

Well, guess what?

Because when you plant seeds, you don't see the whole thing spring up right away.

When you plant the seed, what happens is your words begin to water the seed, and over time it'll grow up.

And I want to get a little bit legal on this side of this because words are verdicts.

They are verdicts.

Some of you all might say, What in the world does that word verdict mean?

I'm about to explain it to you.

A verdict is a formal, final decision rendered by a jury.

So when you when you decree and say, wealth and riches shall be in my house, this body is healed by the blood and stripes of Jesus.

As a believer, you are already deputized for that verdict to be successfully completed.

Your words are verdicts, they are decrees.

That means you and I have the ability to legislate on behalf of our rights as a kingdom citizen.

Now, for some of you all, you might not know what the word legislate means, so I'm about to explain it to you because we want you all to have understanding.

To legislate in the spirit, these lights are wearing me out.

Is there a way we can turn these down?

Because I am sweating up here.

Okay.

To legislate in the spirit means to enforce.

Is that gonna is that gonna bother the um the camera team?

If not, I'll sweat it out.

I'll sweat it out for Jesus.

Edges and everything.

I got jail in the back.

Okay, my fan right here.

Okay, we good?

Okay.

To legislate in the spirit means to enforce, to enforce God's will, to enforce his purpose, to enforce kingdom values on the earth through spiritual authority.

So when I begin to take the words of God that are already powerful, there's a DNA in the words that when I release it out of my mouth as an ambassador, it has to come to pass.

And the Bible teaches us that when we actually release words into the atmosphere, that angels actually begin to hearken, grab a hold of that word to make sure they get on assignment to make sure it comes to pass.

But the Bible also teaches that there are demons waiting on your words as well, too, because they also have an assignment to make sure that if you begin to say, I have this sickness, my body's rack with pain to make sure that they ensure that you're building that exact same thing that you are speaking in your life.

Because when you speak, your words are building.

Legislation also involves using faithful words and decrees to align earthly realities with divine order.

Your words are spiritual legalities.

They are spiritual legalities.

When we went to Nigeria the first time, uh Pastor Turnbull's driver, uh, his name is Jerry, and Jerry is off the chain.

And how about this?

At that particular church at Winter's Chapel, you have people that are just sitting in the pews can raise the dead, lay hands on uh sick, people they're recovering, just in the pews.

This doesn't also just have to come from the pulpit.

The people are deputized because they have understanding of the word.

So what happened was his son was diagnosed with a disease, and there was a field.

I think Pastor told you all this testimony before, there's a field on the property.

Even when Pastor walked on it, they call it a prayer field.

And Oidipo goes out there, a lot of people go and they just pray on this field, pray on this field, pray on this field.

So much so that the power of God just resides, like the Holy Spirit hovered uh over the uh in the book of Genesis, it just hovers on the property.

So even Pastor had a basketball injury when he walked on that field, he declared his healing with his words, he commanded his healing with his words, he took that sleeve off, he has not had it on since, and we went there three years ago.

So, Jerry, his son was diagnosed with something, I think it was sickle cell or something, and he said, I took my son to this field because I said, Lord, you didn't promise me a son that had disease, you didn't promise me a child that would be broken.

So I'm bringing him to this field of prayer, not to command and to cry.

He said, I'm bringing him here to legislate, to enforce the thing that you promised me in the spirit that my child will be healed, that my child will be whole, that my child will be well.

I'm coming here to legislate, and you will have things going on in your life, you need to take your authority and begin to legislate.

You enforce the promises of God that they become a reality in your life.

That kid became healed and ended up finding out that whatever it was, it was one of the rarest types of diseases that they weren't even going to be able to find a cure for.

But because he went there, understood his authority, used his words, and legislated.

It brought the promises of God and it became a reality.

That's what happens when you speak, son and daughter of God, woman of God and man of God.

That's why we need to be more mindful of what we put on the inside of us and our words, because whatever we're gonna put on the inside, that's what's going to come out.

I told the ladies at Grow Girl, I'm in this season of ex, I'm in this season of pursuit.

I want to see what I have not seen, so I have to do what I have not done.

So at the first part of May, the Lord, it's not like the Lord said, Hey, I want you to stop watching X, Y, and Z.

All of a sudden, He took the taste out of my my um I don't know, I don't want to say mouth, but he just took my desire to just watch Netflix and secular shows.

And I'm a Netflix girl, I work from home, so that's my coworker.

I done went lit through all the series.

All the mini-series, I done watched all of them.

And so as a result, I just didn't have a desire.

So now what's happening is when I'm at home, when I do turn on things, I turn on things that are gonna make me strong in the spirit, that are gonna make me sensitive.

And I believe that that's why what happened on Friday is what happened because I was consecrated.

I shut down any other thing that was foolishness because half the stuff anyway was foolish.

Them stories they was all over the place, and somebody slept, but this person, they were them stories was all over the place.

But at the end of the day, my words then began to align with what what I was expecting.

Proverbs 18 21 says this death is in your tongue.

Life is on your tongue.

And every time you open up your mouth, you're choosing a side.

Death or life?

But as we learned as well, too, you can actually speak death to things.

I command that cancer cell to dry up and die now in the mighty name of Jesus.

And it has to obey the authority of your words.

What have you been speaking over your life?

If you want to continue to see it, then keep speaking it.

You're not just talking, you're sentencing yourself.

That means your mouth is not just expressing how you feel, it's producing what you will live.

Matthew 12, 37 says, For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.

Job 22, 28 says, Thou shalt decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee.

And how do you decree with your words?

So when you say nothing's gonna work for me, my body is breaking down, you're not just venting, you are decreeing.

And some of you all in here are living in a reality that your words are creating.

I'm just exposing darkness here because you think it's just a moderate speech, it's not.

And now that we are doing deliverance at this church, I have a greater understanding of the power of my command.

Every week here, almost every week, we are saying to demons, come out in the name of Jesus, addressing them by name, and they are expelling because of words.

Words.

So if demons are obeying my words, what else will obey my words?

If disembodied spirits that live in a realm that you cannot see are obeying the words of believers that understand their authority, what else will obey your words?

Genesis 1 says, And God said it, and it was so.

And Adrian said it and it was so.

I have audacity.

You all have no idea this journey that I have been on.

I have audacity.

Adrian said it, and it shall be so, because my God told me that I had authority.

When are we gonna get ourselves to the point in this Christian church in America to believe simply the raw, unadulterated truth that we find in the Word of God?

You all are sitting here as weaponized weapons in the hand of the Lord right now with power to decree and to command.

But what are we doing with that power?

Are you developing in that power?

Are you growing in that power?

Are you growing in your understanding, or are you allowing life, circumstances, things that happen at the hand of other broken people to break you?

What happens is if you don't confront it with your words, you are authorizing its existence.

I told you all this, I think, every time I preach because for me, this was a very, very powerful thing.

A friend of mine who barely even knows Jesus, somebody tried to put a death sentence on her daughter.

Oh, she's gonna have this.

She barely even really knew about the tenets of scripture and the authority that she had.

She put up her hand and she said, I reject that.

Now, for somebody that don't know as much as you know, she said, I reject that.

That shall not come to pass in my house.

Your words are building something in the invisible realm, and you will see it.

You're not venting, you're building.

And today we're gonna revoke every unauthorized word that you all have been speaking today.

Take your life back, take your mind back, take your money back, take your home back, take your healing back.

Matthew 12 37, or we already read that one.

So, point number two do not be silent.

Second Corinthians 4 13 says, We believe and therefore we speak, because I believe it, I'm gonna speak it.

It's just that simple.

Because I believe it, I'm going to speak it.

It says, We believe, therefore we speak.

That's what happens when you believe.

You speak it out.

And what happens is your words, if you walk and even just see like the words that are coming out, it's like there's the Bible says there's spirit in their life.

So there is something that invisible that's actually released from your lips every time you speak.

You all need to get your confessions together and begin to command.

Jesus never tolerated a problem silently.

He spoke to storms, he spoke to sickness, he spoke to disease, he was not silent about it.

Jesus didn't even tolerate it silently.

He said, Storm cease, sickness you leave, demons you come out.

He was not silent about what his expectation was.

We have become too complacent in the comforts of our Christianity.

You are in a real war, you're in a real war, and the things that we are seeing as a result of us now doing deliverance, these things are wicked, and they do not have your best interests in mind, and now they're going for the babies, your children in the womb to demonize them.

And some of us have been silently tolerating it.

What God already gave you is authority to confront it.

Today, when you leave here, I need you all to have the audacity to confront the things that are going on in your life.

If you don't like the way it's looking, then confronted with the word, confronted with your words.

Your faith-filled words will turn it.

This is not just some, oh, just a just a little practice, I'm gonna just say it or whatever.

No, every time you begin to speak, that's why the enemy wants you to minimize your understanding in regards to what happens when you begin to speak.

That's a lie.

When it says sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never, that's a lie.

That's a lie.

Because right now, words are wrecking children's lives.

You will never be enough.

You're just like your raggedy father.

Wrecking their life.

Because what happens is it's planted in their soul, and then they begin to stir it around, they begin to get understanding, they begin to water it with their thoughts as well.

Too words carry power.

Uh, what we talked about in Proverbs 18 21.

I want to read it from the Amplified.

It says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it and indulge in it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words.

So either you believe God is true or you believe that he's a liar.

When he's telling you in this book, in so many scriptures, it talks about your words.

There's a reason, it's almost like it's a warning like pull your mouth together because what you are speaking is creating in the invisible, and there are demons that are grabbing a hold of your words trying to get into your house and take your future, Mark 11:23.

Mark 11:23

I tell you the truth, you can say this is just a refresher.

A lot of y'all, I done heard this already.

I know I got power in my words.

Well, then why is there so much hell going on in your household?

Have you taken command of it?

I didn't heard this already.

That's the issue.

This book is so pregnant with revelation, you can take one scripture and meditate on it for 365 days and get 365 different answers.

365.

I tell you the truth.

You can say to this mountain, you better get out of my house, be lifted up, and the Bible says it will happen.

Please believe Jesus.

He says, if you say to this issue, if you say to this circumstances, you better leave now in the mighty name of Jesus.

The Bible said I didn't say it, the Bible said Jesus said it.

The Bible said God said it.

He said, It will leave because I gave you authority to manage your jurisdiction, and your jurisdiction is your life.

Point number three.

Your words are the steering wheel of your life.

Because in the kingdom of God, words are not casual, they're law.

You're legislating every time you speak.

And I believe it maybe that's why the Lord told me for 30 days, don't be watching all them Netflix shows.

Because then I start thinking about crazy stuff, saying crazy stuff, because the shows are crazy.

But here's the thing: I'm not condemning anybody that wants to sit and watch all kinds of movies and shows.

It's just, can I just be honest with you all?

I want something different.

In my life, I want to see what I have not seen.

In my life, I want to see in the invisible.

In my life, I desire to wield a certain level of power to help set the captives free.

In my life, I want to have this power, not even just so I can help y'all, but so I can even be a good mother.

Because what do you do when your children come and they are wrecked with fever and pain or have a disease that the doctor said?

What kind of authority are you taking in your household?

Beyond what the doctor's limited knowledge and understanding can tell you.

Because God sees in the invisible, he sees the root of the issue that the doctors cannot see.

You better confront that thing.

I thank you for the information, doctor.

I will even take the prescription and use it appropriately.

But what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna go and how my ladies from Grover, I'm gonna take my anointing oil, which is Holy Ghost in a bottle.

I'm gonna drink it, I'm gonna pour it on the house.

I told a story on Friday about the anointing oil because the anointing oil is like God in a bottle in Nigeria.

This man was dead, and the the wife said, I refuse to accept that.

She went and poured oil on her husband's feet, and he started moving the feet and got up.

Where are these things happening like this?

Have you all seen that lately?

It's gonna happen here at the Life Center Church.

You have to have expectation for the supernatural, you have to have expectation for the unusual.

Because how do you explain just saying words, you won't know you're going to heaven?

That in this invisible book, my name was written.

In this book, when I said Jesus come into my life with my words, it shows you the power of your words.

James chapter 3.

James 3 · chapter mention

Look at the ships also, though they are so large and driven by strong winds, they're guided by a very small rudder called your tongue.

Wherever the will of the pilot directs, so I'm the pilot, my tongue's the rudder.

Have you all ever been on a cruise?

You see how big those ships are?

There's a very little thing called a rudder that directs where it goes.

Your tongue is that rudder, it will direct where your life goes.

And I'm gonna tell you how how deep this is, and you all already have the understanding.

If I said, say that you have, if I said say out of your mouth right now, I have a terminal disease, you wouldn't do it.

And if I told you to say that seven times every day, you wouldn't do it because there's something in you that really does know, it really does know that my words have authority, but we've been so cavalier with whatever else we've been thinking, watching, reading, seeing, speaking, listening to, you wouldn't say that, would you?

If I said say that seven times every day, you would not.

Then why are we so cavalier with everything else?

Because the same power that you know it will show up and manifest is the same power that everything else can manifest in your life.

You already know it.

The Bible talks about in Romans 1 that Jesus already put a knowing on the inside of every human being, a knowing of who he is.

But what happened is life came in to reroute, redirect, take focus off, all kinds of things.

But there's a knowing.

That's why you can have an atheist.

I don't believe in God, I don't believe in God.

But as soon as something violent happened in their life, the first time, what the first thing they do, can somebody pray for me?

Exactly which exactly which God, exactly which one am I praying to?

Because in Romans 1, the Bible says, every human being, every human instrument, he already placed the knowing on the inside, but information came to reroute you, derail you.

So, oh my goodness, I went all the way back to the start of my message and it went off.

What point was I on?

This is some good stuff here on Mother's Day.

I was on through.

Thank you, mama, up here.

Point, there's a steering wheel and a rudder.

That was James chapter three.

Bottom line is if your words don't change, your life will not change.

Whether you believe that or not, it is an immutable fact because the Bible teaches it.

It's an immutable fact.

The enemy's trying to get a hold of the rudder in your life.

He's trying to get a hold of the rudder in your life, which is your tongue.

And if he can change the if he if he can get a hold of the rudder, he can change your life.

And it might show up in a small way, but what happens is consistent increments over a period of time.

It's called consistency compounded.

Small changes over a period of time will create violent, violent, drastic changes.

It's the same way.

And you all know it because you made that transaction when you said, Jesus, come into my heart, come into my life.

I receive you now.

It's a law.

It is a law that you can legislate and you can enforce healing.

It's a law that you can legislate and you can enforce your prosperity.

It's a law that you can legislate and enforce you coming out of a crazy situation where your mind feels like it's in a hive of bees and you are confused, you are stressed, you are disappointed, you are wracked with trauma, you are wracked with pain, you have been abused, you have been raped, you have been molested.

You can come out.

And I can say that boldly because I'm seeing it now with my own two eyes, my own human eyes.

I'm not just up here giving y'all some type of fluff or some surface understanding.

I have seen with my own two eyes how these things get in and how they can come out, and you cannot convince me otherwise because I've seen it.

That's how I know what type of authority that you and I carry.

But the enemy's job is to have you darkened in your understanding so that he can keep you stuck in cycles.

Proverbs 6 and 2.

Thou art snared with the words of your mouth.

That is so self-explanatory.

You are snared with the words, with words, with words.

I'm doing this on purpose.

Words with words of your mouth.

With words, and if you can be trapped with words, you can be delivered with words, with words, with words, with words, with words.

Some of y'all thought, I thought I was gonna come here to Mother's Day, we're gonna talk about mothers and and caring for people and nurturing and all that stuff.

This is caring for mothers.

My husband had a dream.

I told the um the ladies at Grow Girl, Grow Girl number two, and he saw a sea of women.

If you all know that the the the ministry here, uh the women's ministry is called Supergirls, and he said, I saw a sea of just women.

He said, and they all put on their capes and they tied them in a bow and then they saluted.

I'm not interested.

I'm not interested in entertaining you, I'm interested in you knowing and having weight in the spirit.

So at three o'clock in the morning, when that demon tries to crawl in your bed, when you get that call that takes your attention off of the Father and His will and puts you into a line of flesh, then you know how to get out of that bed on your own and pick up your sword and fight and fight.

But the enemy has a very specific assignment, he's trying to keep these Christians darkened because he has seen what you cannot see.

He was there in heaven with the Father, so he knows wow, if Jesus spoke and it showed up, and if they're in Christ and Christ is in them, when they speak, it'll show up too.

So let me get them darkened in their understanding and keep them ignorant of my devices so they don't know how to fight.

Hebrews 11:3.

Hebrews 11:3

Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God.

So if God framed the world with his words, then your world is being framed by yours.

Point number four.

Because we're almost done, y'all.

The name of Jesus enforces your decree.

Do not play with me on the name of Jesus.

Thank you, Jesus.

The name of Jesus enforces your decree.

Every week we say, Come out in the name of Jesus, be healed in the name of Jesus.

The name of Jesus enforces your decree.

It is a very, very supernatural name.

It is not a normal name, it is not just something on paper, it is a very, very supernatural instrument that enforces your decree in the spirit realm.

Was talking to Mayanna, she's reading this book, so I bought the book too.

It's called Set the Captives Free.

And correct me, Mayan, if I get the story wrong, because I'm gonna read the book.

I haven't read it yet, but she read it, so I'm gonna just tell the story anyway.

Because I'm when I get the book, I'll read the same story.

There was a home, and um, there were believers in this particular home.

And as they were in the home, there were demons trying to actually access.

And because they were praying, people angels showed up, and there was a full-out brawl going on.

You know what I'm talking about?

There was a fallout brawl going on in the driveway.

But while this family is inside, playing Monopoly, because they had already said, I plead the blood of Jesus, cover this house, the name of Jesus is protected, it caused angels to show up.

And when the demons tried to come in and access, it was a full outbraw on the driveway while the family was inside, sipping their cocoa and all of that, because at the name of Jesus, angels will show up and they will fight for you.

There was a full-out bra with angels and demons in their driveway, and the angels said, You cannot enter this home.

This home is covered and it is protected by the blood of Jesus.

And they pulled out their swords and all our bra while the family inside, like you don't know what's happening in the spirit realm when you begin to decree this realm, it is real, it is real.

It's called Set the Captives Free.

You all can go get the book on Amazon.

It talks about this woman, and she uh came out of a witch's coven, and she's talking about her journey of how she demonized homes of Christians.

They sent spells and curses.

I have to talk about these things because we haven't talked about them enough.

And when we don't talk about them, the Bible teaches us do not be ignorant of Satan's devices.

Oftentimes we might have been in certain churches or whatever, no shade, but all we learned was one side of the spectrum, but never heard about what am I really fighting?

I got all these women, but what am I really fighting?

Why can't I?

I don't even I don't even know.

But here's the thing if you're on a football team, don't y'all watch film of the other team and their strategies and how to attack?

If you're on a basketball team, don't you watch the other team you're about to play to see what their strategies are?

In the same way, we should have understanding of what the enemy possesses so that when that Joker shows up, we will pull out our words, we will pull out our sword, we'll pull out the blood, we'll pull out the name.

But what happened is if we don't do the work, that's the issue.

We're not doing the work.

Do the work.

Get up in the morning and allow God to speak to you in prayer.

Do the work, pull out your Bible and read a chapter a day.

Do the work, sit before the Lord in silence and say, Father, your servant is here for you.

I just want to hear what you have to say.

Do the work, but that's where we fail, and that's where we're attacked most, and that's what we'll see mostly is people that are not doing the work.

I'm just being honest.

Can I be honest, y'all?

Because it's a war going on.

I don't have time to really pity pat you all.

I really, really don't.

Do the work.

That's where you're failing at.

Do the work.

Do the work.

Get up and put down your plate.

Do the work.

You got witches on planes going to conferences so that they can cast spells, fasting, so that they can increase in power.

But we fast 15 minutes.

Let me get a chicken bone.

Give me that chicken bone.

Give me that chicken bone.

Let me have some of that chicken.

Let me go ahead and get that burger and fries.

Point four.

The name of Jesus enforces your decree.

The name of Jesus carries supreme authority.

It compels all things to bow.

The name of Jesus compels all things to bow.

The name of Jesus compels all things to bow.

When you come on the scene and you say the name of Jesus, it has to bow under the authority of the king.

Of kings, no matter if it's cancer, rejection, disappointment, drama, abandonment, or an abuse, it has to take a knee.

And when you believe it, it has to take a knee.

Because here comes Jesus walking in there with his right robe and his drain and filling the temple.

Every knee bow.

Wherever he's at, it's just bowing, bowing, bowing.

The name of Jesus carries supreme authority.

I want y'all to get that.

The name of Jesus carries supreme authority.

It also has legal, it's your legal backing as a believer.

And it gives you authority to act.

It authorizes you to act.

If you don't get anything that I said today, the name of Jesus carries supreme authority and it authorizes you to act.

The name of Jesus carries supreme authority and it authorizes you to act.

The name of Jesus carries supreme authority and it authorizes you to act.

The name doesn't negotiate, it enforces surrender.

You demonic superior, you better surrender under the power.

The name of Jesus enforces and it causes people and things to surrender.

It does not negotiate with sin.

It does not negotiate with your limited understanding.

It doesn't know the Lord, I the Lord know my heart.

No, what he knows is the word.

If your heart is not aligned with the word, no, he doesn't know that.

You know what you're right?

He does understand your heart, that your heart has been darkened in your understanding.

Yeah, he understands your heart alright.

But that's not his what he understands is his word.

He said, if I said it, that is my decree.

He said, If I have I not said it and I won't make it good, I am not a man that I should lie, neither the son of man that I should repent.

Have I not said it and won't make it good?

You issue the command, you back it with the name.

Because the name does not negotiate, it enforces surrender.

It gives you and I the right to demand results.

The name is backed legally by heaven.

And when you speak it, it enforces.

John 14, 13 says, Whatsoever you shall ask in my name, that's what I'm gonna do.

A lot of these scriptures are familiar to you all.

But it's a difference of having mentalism and you knowing it in your mind than having understanding.

So when I say, Oh, this thing is gonna back up my result.

I pray it in the name of Jesus! Yeah, Jesus.

Do you really have understanding?

When you speak the name of Jesus, you're involved with the highest authority.

Nothing permitted to resist it, and nothing is permitted to resist the name of Jesus indefinitely.

So you almost say, I say the name of Jesus 15 times and nothing happened.

But nothing is permitted to resist it indefinitely.

We do it in deliverance all the time.

You have no idea.

Deliverance is simply this come out in Jesus' name 15,000 times.

Come out, come out, come out, lose them, let him go, come out, come out, come out, lose them, let him go.

And then when we find our names that's in there, oh okay, sadness come out, abuse come out, come out, come out, come out, Leviathan, come out, Jezebel, you come out, Ahab, you come out, come out, come out, come out, come out, come out, come out, come out, I'll come out, come out, come out, come out, come out, come out.

But if you as we keep going, it weakens them.

It weakens them and they start coming out.

So I'm gonna close here.

So let's cut off this lifeline that you all have already started with your words.

Let's cut the life off of the negative words that you've spoken.

So if you all can stand on your feet, oh my goodness, I'm putting my glasses upside down.

That's not good.

You all can stand on your feet.

Let's cut it off now.

Are you all ready to cut it off and redirect your life?

Now, what we're about to do is we're about to decree words that are backed by the authority of Jesus.

And when you release those words from your mouth with faith, things will begin to shift in the atmosphere, and that is not a cliche, it is an immutable fact backed by scripture that we just read.

And if you don't want to see nothing changed, don't say nothing.

If you don't want to see something changed, don't say nothing.

Keep your mouth closed.

But if you want to see it change, I need to lock in right now.

This is your moment with the Father.

Lock in, lock in, lock in.

Repeat this after me.

Every negative word I have spoken, I revoke it now in the name of Jesus.

Every curse, every careless word, every agreement with sickness and defeat.

I cancel you now, in the name of Jesus.

I am justified by my words, not condemned.

I break agreement with fear, I break agreement with symptoms, I break agreement with lack.

Death and life are in my tongue, and I choose life.

I silence every wrong decree already in motion, and I override it with the word of God.

Every tongue, including mine, that spoke against me, is condemned.

In the name of Jesus, I decree now by his stripes, I am healed, by his stripes, I am healed.

His word is working in me right now.

My body aligned, my mind restored, my life responds to the word.

I will not speak defeat, I will not speak fear, I will speak what God said in the name of Jesus.

It is done now.

Give him glory.

Take your life back, take it back on purpose.

Take your life back, take your life back, take your thoughts back, take your mind back, take your future back, take it back.

The Bible says the kingdom of God suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.

That word take it by force means to seize on purpose, seize it now, seize your life, it is yours.

You got one shot at this, you got one life.

What are you gonna do with it?

You got one shot, just one, just one life, just one.

What are you gonna do with it?

You have one shot.

You today is a day that you have never seen before, and it is a day that you will never see again.

What are you gonna do?

You have one shot, and when you stand before the Father, would He say, Well done?

You built my kingdom, you loved my people, you built me a house where my people could come in and be free.

What is the Lord gonna say to you?

I'm after that, well done, and I don't give a care what nobody thinks about it.

And my decree is that we all will go there together and receive that well done.

Take your life back, use your words, find out what the word of God has to say about it, and you decree because what's gonna happen is heaven's gonna back up the word of God, not your multi-million dollar desires.

Now he'll still do that.

You find it in the word, he'll back it.

But I'm not talking about selfish ambition, align with what God has for you, he has a plan for your life.

I know a lot of this information a lot of y'all have already heard, but you needed to get an oil change because you needed to hear it again.

Because guess what?

You're not doing it.

Your words are your words are trash, your words are not producing life in your life, your words are not even producing life in your body.

You needed to hear it again, and you need to hear it again, and again, and again, until you align with the authority that God has placed in the rudder in your mouth, and you take it back on purpose, as Felicia says, on purpose with a purpose, but yeah, God give it purpose.

Every head bow, every eye closed in prayer.

If you're in this place right now, I need you to obey the authority of Jesus.

If you have not given your life to the Lord and you want to be born again, raise your hand high and be bold about it and give your life to Jesus today.

If you're not sure where you're going to spend eternity, should you uh you're you would uh close your eyes on this side and wake it up on the other side.

Raise your hand now with boldness.

Forget about every other person here and get what God has for you today because today was a message for you specifically.

This is an individual journey you're on with God.

This has nothing to do with your family or your spouse, you're on an individual journey with God, you're on an individual journey with God, you're gonna stand before Him individually.

My second invitation is this if you are in this place today, you say, you know what, Minister Adrian, I've already given my heart to Jesus, I am born again.

But life has happened, and I know my decisions have not lined up with the purpose and plan for my life, and I know that um I need to make some different decisions, and I want today to be a defining moment that I give my heart and my life to Jesus, and I repent and turn away from the things that I have done.

Repent simply being said, Father, I'm sorry.

I'm making new decisions.

If that's you and you're in this place today, make today that defining moment of you and Jesus.

Raise your hand right now with all folks.
