Ephesians 6:8 (TPT)
Galatians 6:6 (NKJV)
Set yourself up for increase.
Drs. Frederick KC Price and Betty Price have taught me for years and for years we have been sharing all of what their teaching has produced in our lives. The scripture says let those who have been taught the word as a result of your good lives communicate back to the teacher.
Proverb 11:24-25 (NKJV)
Dr. Dee Dee: Sometimes it takes someone else to expose you to do more in order for you to be more and take you to the next level. In order to get more, you must understand the law that you have to sow more. Apostle Mike demonstrates that to me.
Apostle Mike: I demonstrate that. Whomever your mentor, leader, Pastor, or significant other happens to be, they should make you better. You have to be led by the Spirit with regard to who you can be around who’s trying to get you to come up.

Proverb 11:25 (TPT) This is where Dr. Betty comes in, we are living to bless her. When you turn 90, there is someone looking to bless you. It’s a setup.
We (Faith City Central) will present Dr. Betty Price with a gift of $90,000 for her 90th birthday.
Three things you must learn to master:
- Change:
Pastor Dewayne: Change is unavoidable and if you don’t master change, change will master you. Get ahead of the game, prepare, and plan for change.
- Time Management: mastering and managing your time is necessary.
- Self-awareness: You must know about yourself (dispositions, postures, and how you react when certain things are said about you)
II Peter 1:8 (NKJV) You cannot get it until you have it.
Mark 4:24 – 25 (NKJV) In order to get healing, you have to have it before you get it. This is what the whole life of faith is all about. It is necessary to lean into the word, so you can have what you want before you see it.
I stopped running after success and I became it. What you become, you will begin to attract. You can’t keep wanting something you aren’t willing to become. You want success but you aren’t working on becoming it.
There are 168 hours in a week and most people give less than 8 hours to listen to God’s Word. Now, how do you think those 8 hours will compete against the 160? If you don’t change that, what do you think is going to change in your lives?
Pastor Dewayne: When you look at the Bible, Jesus says whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe that you receive and you shall have it. When you believe that you receive, you should know you have it. Because you have it, you will see it in your hand. Don’t attack people who are walking in success because you will not attract what you attack. You can’t attack someone’s success and expect to be successful.
II Peter 1:8 No knowledge no fruit. You have to have it before you get it.
Your objective or motive should not be to get something from somebody, but to see them blessed.
In football, they have this route that’s a timing route. The quarterback doesn’t necessarily throw the ball to the receiver. But he throws it to a spot. It’s the receiver’s job to break through the opposition to get to the spot. When he gets to the spot, the ball will be there. When you get to your spot… BAM!
II Peter 1:11-13 (NKJV) “An entrance” I see doors and windows of opportunity that are being supplied that will give you entrance into the supernatural lifestyle.
All the money you get is not for you. But if you don’t have money (I’m not talking about in your pocket) I’m speaking about in your spirit. If you are poor in spirit, you will hold on to every dime you get.
Pastor Dewayne: An entrance will be supplied for you abundantly. When things are yours and they abound, there is access given.
Things to remember as we move along in 2024:
Growth and Sustainability (GAS)
Overarching Theme: Prioritize, Practice, and Perfect
We are not starting over; we are building on. These lessons are designed to build your lives. Then you will be able to teach it. Take screenshots or pictures of the slides and go over them at home.
Apostle’s Objective: To create a success map or plan for every partner to prosper. If you succeed enough, it will become difficult or possibly even impossible to fail.
Apostle Mike: You’ll start succeeding in life so much that failure will not be an option.
Pastor Dewayne: If someone creates a success map for you, whereby you can prosper, why wouldn’t you follow the directives? Why would you use all of your energy to try and come up with another plan? Instead, use the map of someone who has already been to the promise land, has come back and given us a map to get there. Life would be a lot easier if we would humble ourselves and obey. Some Christians believe they know everything, and they think nobody can tell them something. But, when they look at their life, their life is telling them they don’t know. Let’s grab this success map and be students of it.
And if these be yours.
This kind of lifestyle will permeate or infiltrate your subconscious mind and you will have this massive mental stability established by the stands of God’s word if you succeed enough.
In other words, you will be so impregnated in your subconscious mind where now, you will have this massive mental stability with agreeing with God. When something comes along that may try to get me to disagree with God, there is an alarm that goes off.
Pastor Dewayne: We have been talking about agape and honor so much. I have esteemed that so much, it’s like when you’re squeezed that’s what comes out of you. The reason why it comes out of you is because you have embraced it. You have meditated on it, and it is yours. It is locked in your subconscious, it becomes automatic.
This position, posture, and or disposition towards agreeing with God will establish an internal awareness. Self-adjusting mechanism guided by Holy Spirit.
When you are a little concerned about something in life, if you just press in a little bit, Holy Spirit will start adjusting the lens of how you see things, how you respond to things and take the right picture for you.
“You and I have the capacity to agree with God perpetually and in perpetuity. Imagery establishes your identity that helps us understand our capacity.” – Pastor Brelyn Bowman
Do you not know you can obey God every single time? We discovered at bible study on last Wednesday that the reason why we don’t agree with God every time is because we don’t want to. That self-adjusting mechanism. It’s your own fleshly desires, but if you practice enough righteousness/succeeding. The reason why you’re failing in temptation is because you’re not practicing righteousness enough. You don’t practice overcoming the temptation enough.
We deduce that we don’t agree with God because we don’t want to. The only solution to being divided from God is agreeing with God. How can two walk together except they agree?
Jesus is coming sooner than we all think. It’s going to get so nefarious. Your babies will run back to this place like in droves trying to escape the corruption of this world. There will only be one light that is in the earth and that will be the light that you possess. Let your light so shine that men and women will see your good works and they will glorify the Father. You better know by the Spirit of God where you belong.
Our wants can be stronger than His wants for us.
We agree to, that we don’t surrender simply because we don’t want to. Now, you must figure out which areas are you not surrendering to and start dealing with them.
So, how do we want more of what He wants than what we want?
How do we get to the place where we are more concerned with what He wants than what we want?
Romans 7:15-23 (TPT)
- Make Him Lord
- Deny yourself
- Be led by Holy Spirit
Every lesson unlearned in repeated. This lesson is bigger than your “I surrender all” song. Let’s start taking introspection, a spiritual audit of our lives. Ask yourself, how surrendered am I in this area?
Pastor Dewayne: Everyone that goes home and puts this to work, you will see
supernatural things to take place in your life that you have never seen before.
Apostle Mike: You have to go home and have these discussions, talk about what’s acceptable and unacceptable in our house and for our lives, and how we will dictate the terms of our agreement. Example: no more cursing.
Where are the standards? What are the guidelines? How does your house look like your neighbors and they aren’t saved?
Where is the difference? Come out from among them. This holy lifestyle will show up in your life if you continue to hang out here.
