Stop Denigrating Yourself : You're A Child of The One Tue King

We've had a wild couple of days in the Declaration Church / Decree For the Nations Sanctuary.  We are living in a season of convergence — where signs, wonders, and miracles are being poured out, but along with that outpouring, a separation is happening. This is a summons to respond: to repent where needed, to explain where necessary, and above all, to honor the presence of the living God when He shows up among us.   I specifically asked the Lord for my outburst yesterday - "Do I need to repent?" He said "No, you need to explain".  At the point the recording stopped, the meeting continued another 30 minutes with a massive outpouring of healing and deliverance.  It was very powerful and very supernatural. The whole meeting was filled with truth and power.

What's Happening in Our Sanctuary: Chains Breaking, Oil Flowing Like Honey

Over the last several days we have seen a steady, persistent flow of God's presence. We poured two and a half hours of worship into the sanctuary to prepare a place for Him, and He came. Chains snapped. Deliverance manifested. Healing moved in body, mind, and spirit. The oil that fell was thick — like honey — a picture of God's sweet, powerful presence poured down among us.

These were not theatrical moments or emotional high points without depth. These were encounters with the living God. They changed people. They invited resurrection life. And they demand a reverent response.

A portion of what follows will look like a replay of yestderday - it is not - its a revisitation to set up a powerful conclusion.

The Beautiful Gate Story: Why "Test the Miracle" Matters

I reminded us of the beggar at the Beautiful Gate in Acts. For him, it was just another day until Peter and John arrived. Peter said, "I have no silver or gold, but what I have I give unto you: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk." The man did not remain on his mat — he stood, he walked, and history was transformed through that obedience.

When God gives breakthrough, it is conditional on our faith-in-action. God will not force a miracle through your unbelief or your unwillingness. If you remain on your mat, you will stay lame. If you hear a chain snap and hide, that gift will be wasted. Take the moment. Speak. Move. Test the miracle.

Holy Ground: "Take Off Your Sandals"

Think of Moses at the burning bush. God said, "Take off your sandals; you're standing on holy ground." This same standard applies to our gatherings. Whether we meet in a sanctuary, on Zoom, or in a living room, when God shows up—this is holy ground. It is not a routine. It is not entertainment. It is not to be treated casually.

We prepare the place with worship for a reason. Worship is not ritual; it is invitation. If the Spirit moves, respond. If oil falls and chains break, give testimony. Lift your hands. Don't scoff. Reverence is the currency of these moments.

Reverence vs. Entertainment: The Weight of Stewardship

I know we can have joy and even light-heartedness in God's presence. We laugh. We celebrate. There are moments of levity that help the truth stick. But the purpose of our gatherings is never mere entertainment. We steward people, and when deliverance comes it costs the steward — emotionally, physically, spiritually.

There was a flashpoint recently. The Spirit triggered a response in me because I sensed irreverence. I offered repentance for the flesh that came out of me, but I will not cover over what was an assault on the holy atmosphere. We invite Him and He honors that invitation. We have to honor Him in return.

Love Is the Greatest: A Foundation for Everything

We opened with the words of the apostle from 1 Corinthians 13 about love: even if I speak with tongues of men and angels but haven't love, I'm nothing — a noisy gong or clanging cymbal. If I have prophecy, faith that could move mountains, but do not love, I've gained nothing. Love is patient, kind, not jealous, not proud. Love keeps no record of wrongs. It endures, hopes, and never fails.

I asked the Lord, "Was my moment of righteous indignation a lack of love?" He said, "No. You don't need to repent. You need to explain." I repented for the flesh in me, and I explained why the spirit of outrage rose — because His people were treating His presence as common. There was a flashpoint moment that triggered what followed, but that moment only let loose what had been building for months.  The rebuke came from love, not from a heart of condemnation.

The Power of the Tongue and Communion: A Testimony

I want to tell you about a real situation I had to intervene in delicately and urgently. A woman called me in despair over her daughter, who was hospitalized in Indonesia with a laundry list of diagnoses. As she spoke, her fear and negative confessions were creating additional spiritual strongholds. I literally arrested her - stopped her from speaking further. I told her what I had to say about the power of the tongue and that she was actually creating more of the problem she was trying to pray away — it may have sounded harsh — but it was love that compelled me to arrest her tongue.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. If our confession is cursing the situation, we will sabotage the breakthrough God is sending. I led her into declarations and taught her how to speak life. I prayed with fervor. The Holy Spirit moved. The woman wept and said, "Thank you."

Patricia Bailey took communion with that woman and interceded. The next day Patricia told me the woman was vastly different — set free from the hysteria that had been driving the problem. This is spiritual stewardship in action. We don't sugarcoat truth. We confront it with love, truth, and deliverance through prayer and communion.  I want to remind you:
I AM NOT A PASTOR.  I can have moments of pastoral care when it's needed.   I am an Apostle, a sacred cow kicking, a money changer whipping, table turning task master, and a culture shifting servant of God who refuses to accept compromise in these spiritual matter.  I am blunt, bold, and unconventional but no one can truthfully say I do no not love.

Stop Denigrating Yourself: Rise to Who God Says You Are

God spoke to me about people who undervalue themselves. He spoke specific names into my spirit — not to shame, but to call. Stop surrounding yourself with those who only see your past. Stop thinking you're less than. If God said you're precious as rubies, then stop acting like you're common.

Gideon thought he was the least in his family, yet God called him to great exploits. You are not defined by your history, your failures, or other people's opinions. You are defined by the One who made you. Rise. Prepare. Glean. Be noticed by God and men. The door of elevation is open, but you have to step through it by faith.

Forgiveness Is Spiritual Warfare: The Erica Kirk Example

Forgiveness is not weakness. It is warfare. Erica Kirk's testimony — forgiving her husband's killer publicly — stunned the world because it was a strength the world cannot comprehend. Forgiveness breaks chains that have waged war on YOUR soul. If you do not forgive, you build a prison for yourself far darker than that which imprisons your offender.

I recently heard from Cheryl Smith. She had thought she was free from a grievous wound decades ago, only to discover raw hatred resurface when honesty was required. She came to the Lord and was fully delivered. She now stands free, her burden lifted. This is the last chain for many of you: forgive the one who hurt you, forgive yourself, forgive the systems and structures that misjudged you. Forgiveness frees you to walk in your destiny. God will take care of the rest and God will deal with your offender.  Leave it to Him and walk free.

Practical Steps: How to Respond When God Moves
Remove your sandals — humble yourself. Recognize you are standing on holy ground.
Test your miracle — if you feel the chain break, acknowledge it aloud and act in faith.
Speak life — retrain your tongue with declarations and thanksgiving.
Forgive — not for the offender, but for your own freedom and to break the chain that binds your soul.
Surround yourself with truth-tellers — choose company that highlights your potential, not your past.
Hold onto deliverance — discipline yourself to keep the breakthrough you received.
Conclusion: The Moment Is Now — Pick Up Your Mat and Walk

We're not in kindergarten. This is serious. I have led thousands of meetings and I have stewarded the flow of God's presence faithfully. If God is offering you resurrection life today, do not shrink back. Pick up your mat. Carry it. Speak. Act. Walk into the promises He has for you.

I repent for the fleshly portion of my response yesterday, and I explain why the holy ire came upon me: because of irreverence in the face of real mercy and power. I call you higher. I call you to faith. If you've been delivered here, hold on to it. If you're skeptical, be open. God loves to surprise the resigned and rescue the desperate. He is calling a remnant to rise.

Come to worship with expectancy and come prepared to respond. Don't make God a routine. Let us honor Him when He moves. The Father is issuing decrees that set captives free — shock waves to the captors, releases for the oppressed, and elevation for the humble. Receive it. Walk into it. The freedom is real. The door is open. Pick up your mat and walk — and thank God as you go.
