Hey everyone!
I’m back with another great Sunday Gospel Message, and this week we have our good friend Pastor Robb back with us!
Kingdom Dominion Through Corporate Prayer
The title of today’s Sunday message is Kingdom Dominion Through Corporate Prayer.
Today’s message is very important for the church in this day and era of time. God is pouring out His Spirit upon all flesh. Revival only comes through Corporate Prayer and intercession. The Wesley brothers would send Prayer warriors into the areas to pray before they would preach the Gospel. I’ve spoken about breaking Down the strongholds that Satan and his minions have places over cities and countries. We have the power and the authority in Jesus mighty name to bring them down.
ADVERTISEMENTI pray that this message will bless you today. May you enter into corporate prayer and see your neighborhood change. It may take some time, maybe months or years but you will see the evil networks coming down. Please also pray for President Trump. Please pray for Noah as he’s battling the evil leftist s that don’t want the truth to be published. He will appreciate your prayer efforts.
Love & Blessings,
Pastor Robb Goodman
Sr. Pastor of Zion Freedom Fellowship USA.

FULL TRANSCRIPT:
Pastor Robb Goodman: Hey everybody, welcome to today’s message. Today is Sunday and it’s a lovely day here. It’s a warm day here in Maryland. And I thank you all for joining me today as I bring forth this message to you today.
Praise be to God. The Lord is good and his mercy endures forever. Amen. His mercy endures forever and ever and ever and ever and ever. Oh, how we all need the mercy and the love of God in our lives.
You know, Jesus loves you so very much. He loved you so much that he was willing to leave heaven, be born as a man, grow up to become a man and lived and walked among humans.
And he called his disciples to follow him and taught them the words of the gospel. So, thank God for the good news of Jesus Christ. All right. Today’s message is titled Kingdom Dominion through corporate prayer.
ADVERTISEMENTYep. Kingdom dominion through corporate prayer. How do we get kingdom dominion? It comes through prayer and tearing down strongholds. So, let’s begin our message today by going to Genesis 18 and we’re going to look at verses 22-33.
Genesis 18 verses 22 through 33. Then the men turned away from there and went towards Sodom. But Abraham still stood before the Lord. And Abraham came near and said, “Would you also destroy the righteous with the wicked?
Suppose there were 50 righteous within the city, would you also destroy the place and not spare it for the 50 righteous that were in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing as this, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked.
Far be it from you. Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?” Well, God is the judge of all the earth. And yes, Abraham had a very strong relationship with the Lord. God said, “I am your shield and your protector.”
He was the first person that God had revealed himself in a personal relationship to Abram. Abraham Abram believed him. Believed God and it was accounted to him as righteousness, right standing with God.
The same as our faith today brings us into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And therefore, we stand before God completely justified. He does not hold our sin against us anymore. Yes, we must confess our sin.
ADVERTISEMENTWe must renounce our sinful ways and our sinful actions. But God, once we receive Jesus Christ and are cleansed with his blood, he redeems us. He bought us back from Satan and redeems us unto himself. Praise be to God.
So the Lord said, “If I find in Sodom 50 righteous within the city, then I will spare the place for their sakes.” Then Abraham answered and said, “Indeed, now I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord.
Suppose there were five less than the 50 righteous. Would you then destroy all the city for the lack of five?” For he said, “If I find 45, I will not destroy it.” And he spoke to him yet again and said, “Suppose there should be 40 found there.”
And he said, “I will not do it for the sake of the 40.” Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry and I will speak. Suppose 30 should be found there.” I mean, this is just amazing when you think about it.
Abram Abraham is going right down to the nitty-gritty. You know, he’s standing before the Lord and interceding for the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Of course, we knew Lot and his wife and children were there.
I mean, Sodom and Gomorrah was a terrible, sinful place. And we get the word sodomy, which everybody knows what that means. I don’t have to explain it, but that’s where we get that terrible word that means something gross and terrible.
Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry. I will speak. Suppose 30 should be found there.” So he said, “I will not do it if I find 30 there.” And he said, “Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord.
Suppose 20 should be found there.” And he said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of 20.” This is amazing. This is amazing. Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more, suppose 10 should be found there.”
And he said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of 10.” So the Lord went his way as soon as he had finished speaking with Abraham, and Abraham returned to his place. What an incredible incredible story this is.
And of course, we also read about Moses interceding for Israel. Let’s go to Exodus 32 and we’re going to read verses 11-14. Then we’re going to go down to 31-34. So Exodus 32:11-14. Exodus 32 and we’re going to start at verse 11.
ADVERTISEMENTThen Moses pleaded with the Lord his God and said, “Lord, why does your wrath burn hot against your people whom you have brought out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
Why should the Egyptians speak and say he brought them out to harm them to kill them in the mountains and to consume them from the face of the earth. Turn from your fierce wrath and relent from this harm to your people.
Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you swore by your own self, and said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants as the stars of heaven and all of this land that I have spoken of to give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'”
Wow. This is quite amazing. Quite quite amazing. Let’s go down to verse 31. Verse 31. I’m going to start at verse 30. Now it happened on the next day that Moses said to the people, “You have committed a great sin.
Now I will go up to the Lord. Perhaps I can make atonement for your sin.” Then Moses returned to the Lord and said, “Oh, these people have committed a great sin and have made for themselves a God of gold.
Now if you will forgive their sin, but if not, I pray, blot me out of your book which you have written.” And the Lord said to Moses, “Whoever has sinned against me, I will blot him out of my book.
Now therefore, go lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, my angel will go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit for punishment, I will visit punishment upon them for their sin.”
So the Lord plagued the people because of what they did with the calf which Aaron had made. You know, this is just really something. This is how we sometimes as Christians are. You know, we say one thing, we do another.
We promise to do something and we don’t do it. And you know, it’s really quite a precarious situation because it’s not a good thing. You know, it’s not a good thing to vow to the Lord and not to keep your vows.
The scripture teaches us about that as well. So, we must be very, very careful. Amen. After the Israelites worshiped the golden calf, Moses pleaded with God to show mercy rather than destroying them, appealing to God’s covenant promises.
ADVERTISEMENTWow, this is amazing. Amen. And Job also pleaded for his friends. Job 42:10. God restored Job’s fortunes only after he prayed for the friends who had previously judged him. We must walk in love to those that do know the Lord.
We must walk in love to those who do not know the Lord. We must forgive them. Amen. This is so very necessary that you and I have got to forgive those that don’t know the Lord. You know, Henry Groover, who’s now with the Lord, this man would do prayer walks.
Wherever the Lord spoke to him to go, he would walk and pray, walk and pray, and walk and pray. And he shared a scripture something that Jesus said, “Whosoever sins you remit, they shall be remitted unto them, but whoseoever sins you retain, they shall be retained to them.”
So you and I have the power and the authority to forgive men their sins. Remember when Jesus was in the house and the people let down the paralyzed man through the roof and Jesus said to the man, “I have power on earth to forgive men their sins.”
Well, you know, the religious leaders, they freaked out at that. They freaked out, you know, who are you to call yourself God? and all the things that they said to him. It was just really, really incredible and crazy.
All right, let’s go to Daniel chapter 9. Daniel chapter 9 and we are going to look at verse three. Then I set my face to the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplication with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.
And I prayed to the Lord my God and made confession and said, “Oh Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps his covenant and mercy with those who love him, with those who keep his commandments, we have sinned and we have committed iniquity.
We have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from your precepts and your judgments. Neither have we heeded your servants, the prophets, who spoke in your name, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, and all the people of the land.
Oh Lord, righteousness belongs to you, but to us shame of face as it is this day. To the men of Judah, to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those near and far off in all countries to which you have driven them because of the unfaithfulness which they have committed against you.
You know the prophets, the prophet Jeremiah prophesied over and over to the kings in his time that Jerusalem was going to be destroyed. They did not believe him. They put him in a pit. They beat him. I mean, it was just awful what they did.
You know, you and I have no idea. Us American Christians have no idea what it means to suffer for our faith. Yeah, we may have lost a job. You know, we may have been told that we can’t pray with people at work, you know, and we all get our nose out of joint all because of that.
But why do we allow sin to reign in our lives? Why? Why do we allow it? We must not allow sin to reign in our mortal bodies. We must crucify our flesh and we must obey the Lord.
Oh Lord, oh Lord, to us belong shame of face to our kings, our princes and our fathers because we have sinned against you. To the Lord our God belong mercy and forgiveness. Though we have rebelled against him, we have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God.
To walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants, the prophets. Yes, all of Israel has transgressed your law and has departed so as not to obey your voice. Therefore, the curse and the oath written in the law of Moses, the servant of God, have been poured out on us.
But we have sinned against him. You know, Deuteronomy 28 speaks about the curses and the blessings of the law. When you read those curses in modern day English, I’m amazed at all the things that are listed in the curse.
And we know that Galatians 3:13 and 14 says, “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law. For it is written, cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree.” Cursed is everyone that hangs on a tree.
Jesus hung on that cross to redeem us from every curse of the law. He redeemed us from it. He bought us back. And now we belong to him. And he has confirmed his words which he spoke against us and against our judges who judged us by bringing upon us great disaster.
For under the whole of heaven, such has never been done to what has been done in Jerusalem. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this disaster has come upon us, yet we have not made our prayer before the Lord our God.
That we might turn from our iniquities and understand your truth. Therefore, the Lord has kept the disaster in mind and brought it upon us. For the Lord our God is righteous in all his works which he does, though we have not obeyed his voice.
And now, oh Lord our God, who brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made yourself a name as it is this day. We have sinned. We have done wickedly.
ADVERTISEMENTOh Lord, according to all your righteousness, I pray, let your anger and your fury be turned away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy mountain, because of our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers. Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all those around us.
Wow. It’s just amazing. It is just amazing how even here intercession is made. Amen. Intercession is made. Daniel is making intercession for Israel because Daniel was one of those when he was young was carried away captive and he was made to serve the king.
Absolutely incredible how God used this mighty man, a prophet of God. And we have many, many end days prophecies that Daniel spoke about. Praise be to God. The Lord is faithful and worthy, worthy, worthy, worthy.
Daniel confessed the sins of his nation and asked God’s mercy and restoration of Jerusalem. We as believers have the power to change the future of our country and intercede for those who are lost and do not yet know the Lord.
We must pray for great revival. Praise be to God. Praise be to God. All right, let’s look at Luke chapter 23. We’re going to look at verse 34. Luke 23:34.
Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do.” Now, imagine this scene here. We’re all very familiar with it. Jesus is dying on the cross. He’s been whipped, beaten, scourged, mocked, hanging on that cross half naked.
I mean, it was just terrible what they did to the son of the living God. And here he is. He cries out to God and says, “Father, forgive them for they do not know what they have done.” Wow. What amazing mercy that Jesus had.
What amazing mercy. It’s just really incredible when you think about it. Absolutely incredible. Excuse me. Jesus practiced intercession by asking the father to forgive those who were crucifying him. Amazing.
Let’s go to John 17. We’re going to start with verse 12. While I was with them in the world, I kept them in your name. Those whom you gave me, I have kept and none of them is lost except the son of perdition that the scripture might be fulfilled.
But now I come to you and these things I speak in the world that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them your word and the world has hated them because they are not of the world just as I am not of this world.
ADVERTISEMENTI do not pray that you should take them out of the world but that you should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world just as I am not of the world. Sanctify them by your truth. Your word is truth.
Wow. As you sent me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes, I sanctify myself that they may also be sanctified by the truth. I do not pray for these alone, but I pray for those who will believe in me through their word.
And you know Jesus, this is amazing. Jesus is praying for all the future disciples and followers of Jesus Christ. He prayed for us on that cross. We never knew that we would ever exist, did we? But Jesus knew.
That’s amazing to me. It just amazes me how he prayed for his disciples and those that would believe on the word that we speak. And we need to pray for those who will follow us even after we’re gone maybe.
Although I don’t think we’ve got that much time left, but you understand what I’m trying to say. I do not pray for these alone, but I also pray for those who will believe in me through their word, that they all may be one as you, Father, are in me and I in you.
That they also may be one in us, that the world may believe that you sent me. And the glory which you have given me, I have given them that they may be one just as we are one. I in them and you in me and that they may be made perfect in one.
And that the world may know that you have sent me and have loved them as you have loved me. Amazing, isn’t it? Absolutely amazing. Father, I desire that they also whom you have given me may be with me where I am.
That they may behold my glory which you have given me. For you loved me before the foundation of the world. Oh righteous father, the world has not known you, but I have known you and these have known that you sent me.
And I have declared to them your name and will declare it that the love which you have loved me may be in them and I in them. Isn’t that wonderful? That is so so beautiful and precious. Praise be to God. God is so awesome.
Jesus prayed for his disciples and all the future believers asking for their unity, protection, and sanctification. Absolutely amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Amazing. Let’s go to Acts 12 and we’re going to look at verse five.
Peter was therefore kept in prison, but constant prayer was offered to God for him by the church. And we know this story. It’s amazing to me how the church was praying for Peter. It’s just absolutely amazing because they prayed, God answered.
Peter is released from prison and he goes to the place where the disciples were praying. As he stood at the door, the person that answered the door did not believe that it was Peter. It’s amazing when you think about it.
Here they are praying, right? It’s like us, you know, we’re praying for something, but are we really believing that it’s going to happen? So, when Peter shows up at the door, they’re like, “Huh? Where’d you come from?”
It’s so funny, I think. It just amazes me. But that’s what we are, you know. Oh, you know, and we say things like, “I can’t believe that happened.” Well, you prayed for it, didn’t you? You got your answer and your only reply is I can’t believe it.
Too much, right? It’s too much. Oh, thank you, Lord Jesus. You’re so good and faithful and kind. So good and faithful and kind. We know what Ephesians 6 says about the armor.
And then in verse 18, it says, “Praying with all kinds of prayer, supplication, and in the spirit.” Praise be to God. God is so, so faithful. Paul frequently instructed believers to pray for one another and prayed constantly for the churches that he served.
Amen. Another person that we can talk about, I’m not going to spend a lot of time here today because I’ve talked about this in the past, but Esther, Queen Esther, who became queen to King Ahasuerus.
She was willing to go before the king and risk her life to intercede on the behalf of her people. And praise be to God, God answered her. She fasted and prayed without food and water for three days. Three full days.
And she asked all of the Jews to pray with her. And then she walked into the king’s court while he was on the throne. And she could have been killed walking in there without being invited. God showed her mercy.
She was willing to risk her life. What are we willing to lay down our lives for the kingdom of God? Times of intense persecution will come in the days that lie ahead of us. How will we respond?
What did Esther say? This is what she said. “If I perish, then I will perish.” We must ask for a spirit of holy boldness to come upon all of us. And we all need a fresh baptism of fire. Praise be to God.
Let’s go to Matthew chapter 3. Thank you, Lord. Matthew chapter 3 verse one. In those days, John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.” Now John himself was clothed in camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist.
And his food was locusts and wild honey. Then Jerusalem, all of Judea, and all the region all around the Jordan went out to see him and were baptized by him in the Jordan confessing their sins.
But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, “Brood of vipers, who has warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore, bear fruit worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’
For I say to you that God is able to raise up children to Abraham from these stones. And even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Therefore, every tree which does not bear fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. But he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I’m not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
His winnowing fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor and gather his wheat into the barn, and he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.” Wow, this is just an amazing, amazing, amazing story here.
The call to repentance is important and must not be neglected. It is entirely accurate to say that this is the first word of the gospel. Listen to what I’m going to say, folks. Repent was the first word of John the Baptist in the Gospel of Matthew.
Repent was the first word of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew 4:17 and Mark chapter 1:14 and 15. Repent was the first word in the preaching ministry of the 12 disciples. That’s in Mark 6:12.
Repent was the first word of exhortation in the first Christian sermon in Acts 2:38. Repent. Repent. We must preach repentance. You and I are called to share the gospel with everyone that we meet because they are not going to know if we do not share it with them.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand and he will thoroughly clean out his threshing floor. And Isaiah 4 verses 3 and 5 says this.
“And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem. And when the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning.”
Fire is necessary. You and I must preach the gospel with fire. Fire that cannot be extinguished. We use the term, you know, “Oh that young man, he is on fire for Jesus.” Well, what about you and me in our 60s? Are we on fire?
We’re needed. You know, my wife and I were talking the other day and she made a comment about something that Pastor Tucker said once. He was the leader of Zion at that time. And he said, “Zion has many teachers, but we need more fathers.”
Wow, that is so true. You know, the older men and women of the faith are to be fathers and mothers. It is so very important that we are fathers to the younger folks. Those who are serving the Lord in ministry must encourage them no matter where they are and what they are doing.
So the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning. Then the Lord will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion and above her assemblies a cloud and a smoke by day and a shining of a flaming fire by night.
For over all the glory there will be a covering. Oh, praise be to God. Thank you Jesus. Lord, let your glory come upon the church. Let your glory come upon the church. Baptize them in fire.
Holy Father, baptize them in fire, fire, fire, fire, fire in the name of Jesus Christ. Fire come upon you right now. Fire, fire, fire. The baptism of the Holy Spirit in fire in the name of Jesus.
For I the Lord am calling my church. I am calling my church to be baptized with fire and power. Power from on high. Power that will shake the nations. Power that will send you forth in awesome anointing and power.
Fire and power. Fire and power. Fire and power. The Lord says, “Fire and power upon my church, for I have loved you and I have cleansed you. I’ve called you by my name. You church belong to me.
Be cleansed. Be cleansed. Let the fire come upon you. Let it burn brightly. Let it burn brightly. Let it burn brightly. For I, the Lord, have my winnowing fan in my hand.
Oh, I’m going to cause the fire to come upon my church in these days. I’m going to…
