And as I've been praying, I've been saying to the Lord, "Father, show me what you want me to speak about to your leaders.

Let me give them something that they need, Lord God." And so he said, "Before you give them something that you need, I'm going to give you something that you need." And what I have been praying very specifically for my leaders have been about business. Like Lord, I want to run my business. I want to run this coaching business. I want to sell books as an author and I want to serve your leaders. But father, I want to do this in a kingdom manner. Lord, I I don't want to be conformed to the ways of this world. If I'm going to do business, I needed to be kingdom.

We're going to be in the book of John, chapter 17, and we're going to read nine verses. And before I begin reading, I want to say this.

Okay.

Lord God. Father, as I speak this word today, Father, allow me to speak to the area of what it means to reveal Jesus Christ. Why we need to do that for such a time like now. Heavenly Father, open the ears of this leader so that they can hear the words today. Lord God, open their hearts, Lord God, so that this seed could be planted in their soil and produce a hundfold. I want a hundfold. I want a hundfold increase produced in this leader today, Lord God. Father, we surrender our will to you. We surrender our desires to you.

We submit our hearts to you today, heavenly father, so that we can receive this word. Lead us, Father. I'm praying for a leader right now that needs your word. They need your truth, heavenly father. They've been praying. They've been praying. They need your remma words, Lord God. They're looking for direction, Father. They're saying, "How can I move with your authority? How can I move with your power, Lord? How can I move with more grace, heavenly father? So today, give them the word that they have been speaking to, Lord. Not me speaking out of the flesh, but you speaking from the spirit, speaking from your word, heavenly father.

Speak life into him. Speak life into them today, heavenly father. And I just pray that you will use me today to pour into your leaders, Father. We're in expectation of what you're about to do. Your word says that it is impossible to please you without faith and that those that come to you must believe that you are, and you are a rewarder of those that diligently seek you. Father, I I declare and I decree this leader right now loves you so much. They're diligently seeking you.

They're diligently seeking you right now and they're in expectation because they've been waiting on a word and this is going to be a word that's going to set them up for what you are calling them to do this season. Father, I rebuke any confusion. You're not the author of confusion. So, I rebuke the confusion that has been trying to take over your leaders this season. So, Father, we just want to say thank you. I plead the blood of Jesus over the mind of this leader. I pray for peace to fall on this leader right now.

Father, I pray that you would use my mouth and my tongue to speak life and not death. So I rebuke that spirit of death right now. And I send that spirit back to hell where it came from. And so we uplift the name of Jesus right now. And we thank you for what you're about to do and what you've already done. In Jesus mighty name we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. Yo, my leaders, check this out. I want you to open up to the book of John and I want y'all to open up to chapter 17. We're going to read nine verses.

And in these nine verses, it was given to me because I had asked the Lord. I said, "Lord, I want to do this business the righteous way." And he revealed to me something. so profound and something so deep. And I want to reveal these things to you. And I want to read I'm gonna be reading out of the KJB version. Okay? This is Jesus Christ looking up to the heavens heavens and he's praying and I want you to hear the words that Jesus Christ is saying right now. Okay? He says this.

She says these words spake Jesus and lifted his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, "Father, the hour is come. Glorify thy son that thy son also may glorify thee as thou has given him power over all flesh." So this word power is also the word authority. authority. No, Jesus Christ has been given power over all flesh. Jesus Christ has been given authority over heaven and over earth. Hallelujah. Authority and power over serpents and scorpions, right? Power to cast out demons and to cure all diseases. Jesus Christ has been given power. And that same power that Jesus Christ has been given because we abide in him and he in us.

We've also been given that same power. I I like that word. What does the word say? He has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love, and a sound mind. We could just talk about power all day because power is authority. Okay? It's the Greek word authority. So now verse two, as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou has given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth.

I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. So first and foremost, the work of Jesus Christ was to glorify the father. Okay, on the earth, that was his work. That was his assignment, okay? And as you move in the spirit, the spirit is going to testify of this truth. the spirit is going to desire, okay, and yearn to propel you towards glorifying the father. Okay, so this was the work and we're going to talk about this very specific because when we if we go back it says and thou hast given him as thou hast given him.

So there are a certain number and specific people that we're going to keep reading about that thou has given Jesus. Those are the individuals that are going to come to believe in the name of Jesus Christ. So verse four it says I have glorified thee on the earth. I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. So Jesus, even Jesus Christ had an assignment. assignment. Not the one that he gave himself to do, but Jesus Christ finished the work that the father gave Jesus to do.

And now, oh father, verse five, glorify thou me with thine own self, with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. So, Father, give me the same glory. Put me in the same position that I was before you even formed the world. world. Back before Genesis 1 verse one, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Verse six, this where we start getting a little fun. It said, "I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world." So this is where we get the title of today's message. That word manifest in Greek is the word revealed.

So I have manifested, I have revealed thy name unto the man which thou gavest me out of this world. So out of this world, the people that you have given me, I have revealed you to them. I've made your name known. I've made your presence known. I've spoken about you. I've spoken about those hidden mysteries. I've given you the honor. I've praised you in front of man. I All things that I have, I've I've pointed it back to you. I didn't honor myself. I didn't glorify myself. myself. I didn't increase myself. I decreased myself and I increased your name. So I have manifested.

I have revealed thy name unto the man which thou gavest me out of the world. It says that thine they were. So yours they were. And thou gavest them to me and they have kept thy words. Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are thee. So whatever I have, whatever you've given me, they know now you gave it to me. For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed believed that thou did send me. So check this out.

Verse eight, for I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me. So one thing that I want to point out here in John is that if we go back to John 14 which is very crucial. So John 14 this is God revealing Jesus revealing that hey listen the Holy Spirit I'm going to send the Holy Spirit. I'm going to send the helper. And Jesus calls the helper the comforter. Okay?

And the comforter specifically, if we look at what the comforter is to do, if John 14:26, in John 14:26, it reads this, "But the comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you." you." The Holy Spirit is here to reveal the things of the father. The Holy Spirit is said to discern even the things of God. Okay? Okay? Jesus Christ goes and he sends the comforter to us.

When we begin to move in the spirit, we're only going to truly begin to desire to do the things that the father would have us do. And we're only going to begin to say the words that align with the father. This is how other believers could discern. If you are speaking from the flesh, from a demonic spirit, the antichrist, or if you are speaking from the words of the father. And how do we know? Well, in that same chapter, this is how we know. This is how you test the spirit right here.

If you go to John chapter 10, okay, okay, John chapter 10 and if we go to verse is let's go to verse two and actually I'm going to read from verse one of chapter 10. And it reads this. It says, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that enterth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he that enterth in by the door is the shepherd of the sheep." To him the porter, which is doorkeeper, open it, and the sheep hear his voice. and he called it his own sheep by name and leaded them out.

And when he put forth to his own sheep, he goeth before them and the sheep follow him and they know his voice. So one thing about being a part of the flock of God and about is that you know the voice of God. You know it. You hear the voice of the Lord, but you also know the voice of the Lord. And check this out. It says in verse five, "And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him, for they know not the voice of strangers." We can go back to John 17. So the sheep know not the voice of strangers.

Okay, this is very vital because what we got to realize as well when we read this verse again, he said in verse eight, for I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me and they received them. So the only reason why they were able to receive the voice of Jesus Christ is because they also receive the voice of the father, the one that sent Jesus. Okay? And And as we keep reading, he says this, "Which thou gavest me, and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou did send me. I pray for them.

I pray not for the world, but for them which thou has given me, for they are dying." And once again, if you keep reading, you'll see that the same way as Abba, our heavenly father, sent Jesus forth into this world, Jesus Christ has sent us into this world. And because he has sent us into this world, and he's given us the the pericletos, he's given us the comforter, he's given us the Holy Ghost, the true counselor.

Now when we begin to speak the sheep, okay, those who have been called, those who are to receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, whose home is in the heavenly realm, who are to be saved, they're going to hear your voice. And it's not that they hear your voice. They're going to hear the voice of Jesus. They're going to hear the voice of the father. Okay. Why is this so vital as I'm reading this? Well, here's why this is so vital. It's vital because I asked the Lord. I said, "Man, um, Father, how do I serve your leaders? How do I help them?

What way can I really surrender my life and start to move in a way of helping everybody? everybody? And so what I was trying to do, I said, "Man, look, I just want to help the world. I want to save the planet, okay? I want to save the world." But what he revealed to me is that, hey, Mike, you don't have to overdo. You don't have to overexaggerate yourself. You don't got to try extra hard. You won't have to do the most. You don't got to do none of that. You see, here's the deal. I've given you an assignment assignment and I've placed you in a particular area.

I've given you a certain drive. I've given you certain desires. I've given you a certain place to have dominion over and a place to subdue. Okay? I've fearfully made you. So, I've crafted you uniquely and different from everybody else. And all I'm asking you to do is when you go out into the world and when you go out to wherever I send you, all I'm asking you is to reveal Jesus Christ, bring forth the revelation of Jesus. This is about three things that the Lord revealed to me. This is about authority. This is about literally alignment. Okay? But first, assignment. And this is about alignment.

So, first one is authority, assignment, and alignment. We've been given the authority because of Christ who abides in us. We have the Holy Spirit. Okay? We're feasting on his word. We know his word. His word actually is what is what is penetrating in our heart. As a man thinkketh it in his heart so is he. So as this word penetrates the soul in the heart. Okay the soul and the spirit. The word is planting seeds in our heart. And now that is planting seeds in our heart. Our soul begins to express what's inside the heart.

So now now wherever we are because we've been feeding in this out of our mouth will just flow truth. truth. Okay? And this word is power. This word is authority. So now you've been given this authority. And when you speak now, those who know God, these people become your assignment. You don't even have to actively just go crazy and pursuing and just let me go out and let me let me talk to every single person I know. No, no, no. Some of us don't have a schedule like that. So, you may feel like you may feel guilty because you see some people evangelizing every day.

You may see some people doing mission trips and they going out to the far ends of the earth. Okay? You may feel guilty. You may be like, "Dang, what's my portion? I should be doing more." But see, here's the idea. The idea is that there's 99 that are good and one has went astray. And God rejoices so much even over that one. And that one that has gone astray, that one may be at your job. That one may be at the church in the hallways after church. That one may be at the gas station. That one may be in your family right now.

That one may be in your small group community. That one may be at the gym that you go to all the time at the library library on that vacation while you're out spending time with your family or your wife or your husband. That one is is somewhere. And what we got to be tuned in and alert is to recognize where that one is. That one may be the five views of your latest video that you felt like nobody watched. Speaking from personal experience, that one one is very important to God. God rejoices when that one when one soul is saved.

The heavens rejoice when one doesn't say when that 10 is saved. No, no, no. When one just one lost sheet comes back home, prodigal son, there's a there's a party. There's a rejoicing. This is why we have to tune into the to the perspective of assignment. Jesus says to those that you gave me, meaning there's a particular portion of people that are going to believe in Jesus Christ. And hey, we we know this that there's many things, miracles that even Jesus couldn't do. He says because of unbelief in his own hometown.

So as he was speaking the word and he was speaking out of authority and as he was speaking the truth, there were some folks who did not receive it. Okay? There were some folks who did not receive it. And these that did not receive it were not from they're not a part of the flock. They're not a part of the fold. Okay? And check this out. Some people that you're speaking to right now, you may be the one that plants the seed. Somebody else is going to do the watering. But don't give up in planting the seed. This is our assignment.

Our assignment wherever we are is to reveal Jesus Christ at the most foundational level. Why? Because we want souls. Heaven wants souls. souls. Heaven wants literally heaven wants to be filled up. And the way that we do this is by saving souls. It says that don't be afraid of the one that can kill the body but can't kill the soul. Can't sell the can't send the soul to hell. There's a death in the flesh and then there's a second death of our soul. God wants to save our soul. This is what this is about. This is why we've revealed Jesus Christ in any form, shape, or fashion.

Uniquely tailored to you. He made us a fisher of men. Meaning, you have something so unique. When I tell y'all about a vision that God has shown me, I'm going have to save it for a different video. But he's made you so special. I just wanted to share that with you right now. And then the next one is, all right, we talked about authority. Talked about assignment and alignment. When you are in alignment, those who will hear are going to hear. So this is just taking away the pressure of of evangelism, taking away the pressure of us even doing our businesses.

The word says a laborer is worthy of his wages. So God wants to reward you physical wealth as well too for your work. Absolutely. Okay. A lot of time we just put too much pressure on ourselves to save souls when it's like listen just just talk about Jesus. Glorify the father. What has he done in your life? Something simple. Thank Jesus when good things happen in your life. It's some sometimes it's the simplest thing to glorify the father. And he revealed this to me. I'mma close because I just said, Lord, he shifted my mind, friend.

And he made me realize, hey, Mike, when you're out there and you're doing your business, when you're serving your books to the community, like that's what you're doing. You're serving. You're planting seeds. You're actually serving people, right? And the way that you serve people is by sharing your testimonial, revealing Jesus Christ. Y'all know my testimony about suicide and depression. When I talk about these and I share my testimony, a lot of times it draws the people that I'm supposed to minister to. It draws them in, it draws the men and we get to really talking about God and his goodness and what he's done because I'm still here.

I'm still alive and so are you. There's many of y'all who've come to me and man, if Jesus was not there, you wouldn't be here today. You would still be addicted to the drug, to the alcohol, right? to the sexual immorality whatever it is you would still be a bounty of chains but it's Jesus Christ that has freed us from these bondages this is what it feels like to speak about and glorified the father my leaders I needed to share that because that was very much on my spirit today I said lord what can I speak to your leader and the word was reveal Jesus Christ reveal him. Reveal Jesus.

Heavenly Father, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, Lord, we just first and foremost want to thank you for this word. Thank you for this message. Thank you for your revelation in the book of John chapter 17 on what it means to glorify the father. But I just pray that as we begin to move forward, we all begin to finish the work that you've called us to do. That's all we want to do. We want to finish the work that you've called us to do and we want to go back home to be alongside you. That's what we want. We want a good, well done, faithful servant.

That's what we want, Lord. So, Father, I just pray you give us the conviction to speak about you more, share our testimonials, stand our ground, Father. That's what we want to do. and just give us the courage, give us the boldness, give us the confidence, and give us the discernment, Lord, to be able to know when there's people around us or in front of us that we need to serve, that we need to help. Show it to us, Lord. Give us the sensitivity, heavenly father, if we don't already have it, increase our sensitivity to those that we are called to serve. We want to serve, Lord.

We want to glorify your name. So, Father, I just pray that after this video, there's going to be a new conviction in how we show up to reveal in Jesus Christ. We thank you for this message. We glorify you. It's in Jesus mighty name that we pray. Amen. Amen. Amen. My leaders, I love you, but Jesus Christ loves you more. We out. I'm in.
