What if the breakthrough you’re praying for sits on the far side of a costly yes? We open this message by getting honest about posture—how a right heart, a clean spirit, and reconciled relationships become the frame that can actually carry acceleration and multiplication without cracking. From there, we share a clear prophetic focus for 2025: God is compressing timelines and multiplying impact, but He’s doing it in people who let Him purify motives and burn away pride.

We press into the uncomfortable truth that nothing of weight in the kingdom is cheap. You can’t buy authority with money or personality; you purchase it with endurance, obedience, and a willingness to be misunderstood. A vivid mantle story exposes the myth of power without process, reframing suffering as the training ground where God stretches capacity. Then we trace the pattern through Scripture—Paul’s ledger of scars and Joseph’s long road from pit to palace—to show how pain doesn’t disqualify you; it prepares you. When the accelerating moment finally comes, the heart that stayed soft in hardship can steward influence with humility and clarity.

Along the way, we talk about signs that matter—blind eyes opening, demons cast out, bodies healed—and the hidden habits that quietly qualify us to carry them. This is a call to stop searching for shortcuts and start saying a brave, practical yes: to prayer that outlasts feelings, to fasting without applause, to quick forgiveness, and to staying where God planted you until the work is complete. If you’re hungry for real authority and ready for God to multiply your impact, lean in and join us in that yes. If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs courage, and leave a review telling us where you’re choosing to endure today.

We love to hear from our listeners! Thank you!

SPEAKER_01:

Yahashata Romosiyata Yasanda Lava Sata. Praise God. Praise God. Praise God. Come on, the Lord is speaking to us here tonight. We gotta get a right heart.

SPEAKER_03:

We gotta submit ourselves. We gotta get along with the Lord.

SPEAKER_01:

Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You may be seated. Tonight is is about kingdom positioning. Tonight is about our spiritual posture. Tonight is about spiritual endurance. It's about God setting us up for big things in the kingdom. But not just God setting us up. But us being willing to say yes to the Lord no matter what the cost. It's about having right hearts.

SPEAKER_02:

Right spirits. Right relationships.

SPEAKER_01:

Being aligned in the right posture. So that no matter what God calls us to do, we are ready for what God has in store. And I don't know about you. But I don't want to miss anything in the kingdom. I want to have the right attitude. The right spirit. I want to be in the right spirit. I want to be walking with the Lord and walking right with my brethren.

SPEAKER_03:

So that when God calls me, whatever He says, I am ready to do what the Lord calls me to do.

SPEAKER_01:

Lift up your hands and say, God, whatever. I'm ready to be used of you. Whatever it costs. Whatever you expect of me. Whatever I've got to leave behind. Come on and lift up your voice. Come on and lift up your voice.

SPEAKER_03:

Put aside all the stuff. Say yes to the Lord. No matter what the cost.

SPEAKER_01:

Every year around November. The Lord gives me a fresh vision. A focus, a new focus. A new direction for the coming year. This year, while we were in Panama, the Lord gave me direction. And he gave me two words. He said, These are the two words that are going to be activated in my kingdom in 2025. The two words the Lord gave me were acceleration and multiplication.

SPEAKER_02:

God said, You tell my people that I'm going to accelerate.

SPEAKER_01:

And I'm going to multiply. Spiritual growth. Harvest. I'm going to give you territory. Capacity. God said, I'm going to increase you. I'm going to do things in you. And through you, and through you in ways that you have never experienced it before. God said things that have seemed beyond your reach. Things that historically have taken a lot of time to accomplish. God said in one moment. And I'm going to multiply. And I'm going to make you come alive. And I'm going to show you things. That you've never seen before. And I'm going to do things in you. That I've never done before. And something's going to activate in you. That's never been activated before. God said, because the day comes that the proudman shall overtake the reaper. The trader of grapes, him that soweth seed. God said, I'm going to accelerate things. And I believe God's going to do that tonight. Things you've been praying for. Things that you have whimped in your pillow about. Ministries that you have begged the Lord to be a part of. Tonight God is going to accelerate things. Tonight God's going to multiply in you. And he's going to cause the come down.

SPEAKER_02:

The rain.

SPEAKER_01:

The former rain.

SPEAKER_02:

The latter rain.

SPEAKER_01:

He said, I'm going to cause your floors to be full of wheat. And I'm going to restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten. And the glory of this latter house shall be greater. I want you to lift up your hands right now. And begin to tell the Lord yes.

SPEAKER_03:

No matter what it costs.

SPEAKER_01:

No matter what I have to leave behind.

SPEAKER_03:

No matter what the cost is, I want to be used of you.

SPEAKER_01:

I want acceleration. I want multiplication. I want to be used of God. Lift up your voice and begin to speak with other cows. Go ahead. Reach out to God. Reach out to God. Transformation. Transpiration is in the atmosphere. Acceleration is in the atmosphere. Multiplication is in the atmosphere. You have gathered here this week in El Salvador. You could have been celebrating with family over Thanksgiving. But you gathered here. Because you were desperate to be mightily used of God. Because you desired for God to accelerate something in you. You are here because you determined to see an unprecedented demonstration of the spirit and the power. The lame get up and walk. The demons are cast out. The blind receive their sight. Backs are healed in just an instant. The miracles manifest on mountaintops. If that is you, lift up your hands. That is my desire. That's what I'm hungry for. I want that transformation. I want that impartation. I want to walk in new dimensions. I want to activate the kingdom. Lift up your voice and speak with tongues. Lift up your voice and pray relatively in the Holy Ghost. You're here because you don't want to sit out of you. You're here because you want to be the tip of the spear. Lift up the voice and cry unto the Lord. Nothing that is great in the kingdom of God. Nothing of value in the church. Nothing that turns the world upside down.

SPEAKER_00:

Nothing like that is cheap.

SPEAKER_02:

Nothing is gratis.

SPEAKER_00:

It's not on sale.

SPEAKER_02:

No is not in promotion.

SPEAKER_01:

You can't get it at Walmart. It's not free.

SPEAKER_02:

No, it's gratis.

SPEAKER_01:

Stuff like kingdom, power, and authority. To be mightily used of God. You must be willing to pay the price. It's the willingness to pay the price that separates the pew from the pulpit.

SPEAKER_02:

It's la voluntad del que está disposed to pagan precious.

SPEAKER_01:

It's that willingness to pay the price that makes the difference when you want to be used of God. It's the willingness to pay the price. It's the deseo depot that moves you from spectating on a pew to being apostles and prophets and evangelists and pastors and teachers. It's the willingness to pay the price that positions you to activate and operate the fullness of the gifts of the spirit. It's the commitment to endure hardness as a good soldier that qualifies some while disqualifying others. But it's the difficult road. It's the road linen with rejection. It's the road that makes you weep in your pillow at night. That qualifies you to operate in dimension and power that few ever taste of. Somebody who's willing to take the road less traveled. Somebody who's willing to suffer. Somebody who's willing to endure. Would you lift up your hands? And say, God, I don't want something cheap. I'll pay the price. I'll endure the suffering.

SPEAKER_03:

Whatever it costs, whatever it takes.

SPEAKER_01:

Come on, you wonder. You wonder why you are going through so much junk. God has been setting you up. You wonder why it's not been easy. Because they say cheap. There's power that God wants to give you. That can only be proven to pay. When you say yes to pain, you're saying yes to power. When you say yes to rejection, you're saying yes to authority. When you say yes to suffering, God is setting before you open doors that no man can shut. Somebody who wants to be used of God. Lift up your voice and cry under him. Lift up your voice and say yes. You don't know what the suffering. You don't know the hurt and pain. You don't know the rejection. But God has a store for them.

SPEAKER_02:

God has a plan.

SPEAKER_01:

Come on, you're not alone. You're not alone. You're not alone. You're being set up by God.

SPEAKER_03:

You're being set up by God. All that pain has a purpose. All the pain has a purpose. Don't reject suffering. Don't reject suffering. Don't look for the easy road.

SPEAKER_01:

The apostle Paul said that I may know him in the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of his suffering. Paul said, I don't just want to walk in the easy road. But I want to walk in the fellowship of suffering. Because there's things in the kingdom that can only be purchased with pain. Some things can only be purchased with pain. We were just talking about the kingdom. I didn't have anything to contribute to the conversation.

SPEAKER_00:

I was listening to the apostle speak.

SPEAKER_01:

He was talking about kingdom things. And it was just an organic conversation. I wasn't even asking questions. It was just things were popping up in the spirit. And the doorbell rang. And Brother Cole said, go answer the door. And I opened the door and there was a young man at the door. And Brother Cole loved young ministers. He'd make room for any of them. And he loved to talk to young ministers. I remember that young man coming in the door, so excited to be in the presence of Billy Cole. Brother Cole asked him, you know, what his ministry was. He said he was a singer and a preacher. Brother Cole said, Well, sing for us. And he lied about one of the things.

SPEAKER_00:

He wasn't a singer. But I had my eyes closed and I was trying not to smile.

SPEAKER_01:

Couldn't keep the smile off my face, so I just put my head down so that he couldn't see that I realized he was a liar. And he said, That's enough, that's enough. He said, uh, he said, so you're a preacher.

SPEAKER_02:

He said, I am.

SPEAKER_01:

And he said, Why have you come here today? The young man looked at Brother Cole and he said, I want your mantle. I want to do what you do. I want to see what you see. I want to see an outpouring of the Holy Ghost that's uncommon and unprecedented.

SPEAKER_00:

I want to see blinded eyes opened.

SPEAKER_01:

I want testimonies like you have testimonies.

SPEAKER_00:

He said, I want your mantle.

SPEAKER_01:

He said, You can't have my mantle.

SPEAKER_00:

The boy was so adamant, he said, No, no, I want your mantle.

SPEAKER_01:

Brother Cole said, No, no, you don't want this mantle.

SPEAKER_00:

They thought about this verbally for a few moments.

SPEAKER_01:

And finally, Brother Cole submitted.

SPEAKER_00:

And he told the boy to get on his knees to lift up his hand that he was going to impart to him his mantle. I have to admit, I was very jealous. Because I had never thought to ask him for his mantle. Never occurred to me that I could ask for a mantle instead of a conversation. I never thought I could get a mantle instead of correction. I never thought I could have a mantle instead of instruction. Never crossed my mind I could have a mantle instead of rebuke. But this boy came in and asked for the mantle and he was gonna give it to him. I remember that boy getting on his knees and lifting his hands. And he started weeping. And he was speaking in tongues. I can see it like it was yesterday. And walked over to where this boy was knelt on the floor. And he laid his hands on his forehead. And he said, By the authority of the word of God, by the power of the name of Jesus.

SPEAKER_01:

I impart suffering into you. I impart pain into you. I impart the rejection of men into you. I impart the betrayal of your brethren. I impart disease into your body. All of a sudden, this boy just ripped Brother Cole's hands off his forehead. And he said, No, I want your mantle. Brother Cole looked him in the eye and told him. You can't have this mantle if you're not willing to take this pain.

SPEAKER_02:

It's not free.

SPEAKER_01:

No is gratis. You can't buy this with money. You got to be willing to say, Yes, God.

SPEAKER_02:

Yes, God.

SPEAKER_01:

Every great biblical servant of God has their own story of pain. Every apostle, every prophet, every evangelist, every pastor, every teacher has had to suffer. It was suffering that qualified them. And suffering that unlocked for them uncommon and notable miracles. The Post Paul spoke of his suffering.

SPEAKER_00:

He said, I've labored more abundantly.

SPEAKER_01:

I've been beaten more than any of you. I've gone to prison more frequently. I've faced death more often. He said, five times I received 40 stripes.

SPEAKER_00:

Thrice, three times I was beaten with sticks.

SPEAKER_01:

Once I was stoned. Three times shipwrecked. He said, I've journeyed often. I've been in perilous waters often. I've dealt with robbers. Thieves ladrones. My own countrymen. The heathens have attacked me. I've been under attack in the city. Under attack in the wilderness. Under attack in the seas.

SPEAKER_02:

In Los Mares.

SPEAKER_01:

I've dealt with false brethren. I've been weary.

SPEAKER_02:

I've had pains. I've been hungry.

SPEAKER_01:

I've been thirsty. I've fasted so much. I've been told, I've been naked. Then I got the things of the church. Said all these things I endured.

SPEAKER_02:

But I counted all joy. I counted all joy. Because it set me up. It positioned me.

SPEAKER_01:

It purified me. It made my heart right. It made my spirit right. It took the pride out of me. It took the arrogance out of me. He said, I don't run from the pain. I don't reject the pain. I know that I couldn't have done these things without the pain. The testimonies that I bear witness of.

SPEAKER_02:

The miracles I've seen.

SPEAKER_01:

The harvest I've experienced. The nations that have been opened.

SPEAKER_02:

The revival we've had.

SPEAKER_01:

All of it was purified through pain. Even Joseph. Genesis chapter 37. All these dreams wanting to be do great things. Jealous brethren. Hateful brothers. People conspiring against them. Thrown into pits. Sold as a slave. Just when things look good.

SPEAKER_02:

Somebody starts telling lies.

SPEAKER_01:

And momentum is lost again. And he's hurt.

SPEAKER_02:

He's alone.

SPEAKER_01:

All of a sudden he's forgotten. Even his gifting doesn't seem to be making room for him because even the baker forgets him, and the cup bearer forgets him. Years of suffering, rejection, and pain.

SPEAKER_00:

But in one accelerating moment. One multiplying moment. What seemed lost? Forgotten.

SPEAKER_01:

One single moment.

SPEAKER_00:

And he's pulled up out of a prison. And he's standing before Pharaoh. And all of a sudden God is able to use him. And all the pain.

SPEAKER_01:

All the grief. All the suffering. Took all the pride.

SPEAKER_02:

All the arrogance.

SPEAKER_01:

All the flesh. Up out of the servant of God. And he was able to say with purity. You thought evil against me. But God meant it unto good. To bring to pass multitudes being saved. Multitudes are saved. Because I said yes to pay. Tonight is an accelerating moment. God said, every man in this room, every woman in this room, every young person in this room that will say yes to suffering. I will accelerate things in you. But you have only dreamed of. Whatever the price. Whatever I gotta give up. Whatever I've got to do. I say yes to suffering. I know it's gonna unlock the kingdom. I know it's gonna purify my soul. I know it's gonna purify my motives. I say yes to suffering tonight. If that's what God's calling me, if that's the key, I say yes. Come on and lift your voice. Come on, lift your voice. Come on, say yes, say yes, say yes. I don't want an easy road, I don't want nothing cheap, I don't want nothing free, I want to pay the price, Shandalamasa.
