Breaking Free from Invisible Structures That Shape Destiny
The world trains people to survive through pressure, performance, and self-reliance, yet inwardly many sense that something is misaligned. The weight of expectations, the need to prove worth, and the race to “make it” often feel like chains—subtle, familiar, and silently accepted. This message explores the deeper systems that shape human decisions, bind identity, and quietly steer believers away from God’s intended path. It exposes the mechanisms that blind, uproot purpose, and replace divine dependence with cycles of striving.
These study notes are drawn from the sermon “Systems of the World” preached by Prophet Lovy L. Elias on 12 March 2024:
Study Notes
Leadership & the Origin of Systems
How Leadership Reveals Systems
“A leader is primarily a servant.”
“A servant who has been faithful, and God adds on what they are doing.”
“As God adds on what they are doing, He also adds help.”
Leadership grows through:
Delegation
Merging people into vision
Recognizing that those God sends “usually have something they do that you can’t”
Why Systems Matter
Within leadership, “there is a lot of people you meet, all manner of people… with different philosophies, different backgrounds, different thoughts.”
Through dealing with people, patterns become visible:
“You start discerning how easily people can be kept away from destinies that God has ordained for them because of the systems of this world.”
Observation:
“Some anointed men of God… will never live up to the potential God set for them, because they are caught up in the hamster wheel called the systems of this world.”
Scripture Foundation
2 Corinthians 4:4
Read aloud:
“In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not…”
Key emphasis:
“The devil blinds those who have not come to believe. But what does that blinding entail?”
Clarification of Misconceptions
“The devil’s issue is not really you receiving salvation.”
Many blessings in life came “because of somebody that didn’t know God but gave you an opportunity to see the goodness of God.”
Even after salvation:
“There are men and women who are still blinded.”
“Holy Ghost filled people… and they still don’t know the mind of God concerning them.”
“They will prioritize their job over their destiny.”
Initial Definition
Systems of the world = structures designed to blind, bind, and divert destiny.
The First System: Mammon
The Core Design of the World’s System
“The system of the world has been designed to break you.”
“Number one is to worship a god called Mammon.”
Mammon becomes the center when “your entire life is set on serving money.”
How the System Traps Daily Life
“If you don’t have money, you can’t live, you can’t eat, you can’t do anything… you are crippled.”
“Every time you enter your house, it costs you money.”
“When you turn on the light, it costs you money.”
“You use water, it costs you money.”
“You step out of your house, it costs you money… Uber or gas.”
“Everything you do has bound you. You have completely been tied.”
Money Itself Is Not the Problem
“Is it bad to use money? Absolutely not.”
God has systems He ordained; Satan has systems he ordained.
Misplaced Dependency
The System Makes the Job the Source
“When you believe that your job is your source, you are caught up in the system of the world.”
“It robbed you of your faith in God and established your faith on the system of the world.”
“If I slave, I will be rewarded. Yet the system of God is: if you rely on Me, My grace is more than enough.”
Contrast Between the Two Systems
“The system of the world wants you to be strong so that they can use you.”
“God wants to be your strength so that He can walk and work with you.”
The Real Deliverance Needed
Deliverance Is Often Not From Demons
“Most people think they need deliverance from demons. No, you need deliverance from the systems of the world.”
“Most people need deliverance from the systems of this world, not from demons.”
Blinding Continues After Salvation
“There are men and women who have come to the Lord and they still don’t know what they are doing on earth.”
“They speak in tongues… and still don’t know the mind of God concerning them.”
Priorities shift wrongly:
“They will prioritize their job over their destiny.”
Illustrative Example: King Cyrus
A Destiny Fulfilled Without Religious Activity
Cyrus “was anointed by God” to deliver Israel from Babylon.
“Cyrus himself had never heard the voice of God.”
“Cyrus had never prayed.”
“We don’t even know that Cyrus got born again.”
Yet fulfilling his ordained position caused freedom for many.
Implication
If someone without prayer, encounter, or spiritual discipline can fulfill destiny:
“Now you imagine if you know God, if you can pray, and you know your destiny and you walk in it.”
Why the System Fights Destiny
“The moment you touch your destiny, it is a chain reaction.”
“Souls will receive help.”
“Souls will receive transformation.”
“Souls will get restoration because you entered into your destiny.”
Saved but Still Captive
Spiritual Blindness After Salvation
“You can be saved and be blinded, and that itself is scary.”
“Because you’re saved, you think you’re safe.”
“You can be a saved captive and never know it.”
“You’re in captivity, but you say you’re saved, and you really think you’re free, but you’re completely tied to the system.”
“You can’t even conceive what life apart from that system is.”
Faith Requires a Different System
“Our very faith as people of the kingdom is supposed to be a different system.”
If the systems of the world shape the mind, “we’re not even truly saved by definition, because then we don’t even understand that it’s a different system that we should operate by.”
Why the Mind Must Be Renewed
The Scriptural Emphasis
“The Bible focuses more after salvation.”
“The word of God focuses more on the renewal of the mind.”
Reason: “From when you were born, you are supposed to go to school… your parents want you to be a doctor, a pilot, an engineer, or a lawyer… then you have made it in life.”
“They are not even considering what are the natural things God has given you.”
Early Indoctrination
“From conception, you are being indoctrinated into a system.”
Human development is shaped around expectations—not calling.
Cultural patterns enforce direction long before personal purpose can be discovered.
The College Example
Misalignment Between Education and Calling
“I was having a talk with my son about college.”
“If you want to go to college, cool.”
“I’m a successful guy that started college and I pulled out, and I’m very successful.”
“If you already know what God wants you to do, you are off investing yourself in what God wants you to do.”
“Majority of the people only accumulated debt… they went into college and they came out still not knowing what they are supposed to do.”
The System Trains Competition, Not Destiny
“Most of the people you will ever work for—if you remain in the system—are people that broke out of the system.”
“You will never be wealthy or rich doing a job. No one has ever been rich doing a job. It’s impossible.”
“The system is not designed for that.”
The Marketplace Trap
Competition for Skills, Not Purpose
“The system is meant for you to fight in the marketplace with people with the same skill.”
“All of you are fighting for the same positions.”
“The one who is benefitted is the one who ordained the system, not you.”
“If they don’t like you, they can replace you with somebody who was trained to do exactly what you do.”
Identity Becomes Disposable
“There is nothing unique about you.”
Success becomes dependent on:
being liked
being cheaper
being replaceable
“The system is full of people who want to make it through the system.”
The Structure of Education Itself
Misdirected Learning
“All the subjects you learn from school… some of the things you never use them after you read them. It was a waste of time.”
Affirmation: “I have nothing against education. People should be educated 100 percent.”
But the system’s structure is misaligned: “Everything should have been tailored according to the giftings of people… people’s callings.”
Competing Systems
“The world… because the system is ruled by the god of this world. His duty is to blind you.”
Systems are engineered to steer people away from purpose.
The True Nature of the Battle
Influence vs. Possession
“Fallen angels are not interested in possessing you.”
“That’s a limitation to them.”
“They would rather influence you than possess you.”
Historic example: “Persia… was ruled by the prince of the powers of the air. One fallen angel controlled the whole territory.”
Systems Are Supervised Spiritually
“One controlled the systems of that nation to make sure that the children of Israel remained in bondage.”
The Hardest Deliverance
“The most difficult thing in life is to free a free slave.”
Psychological Bondage in the System
The Cow and the Rope Illustration
The professor’s experiment:
A cow is tied to a post daily for three days.
On the fourth day, no rope is tied.
“The cow will stay there because in his mind you put a rope on his neck, yet there’s no rope.”
Application:
“Jesus took out the rope, the chains. But because you are chained for so long in the system, even though there is no chain, you still live according to…”
Christians Bound Without Chains
“That’s the biggest battle that Christians are facing today.”
The mind remains conditioned even after Christ removes the bondage.
Misunderstanding Calling
Default Belief: Everyone Must Be a Preacher
“By default, once we get saved, we think that God called us to just work inside the church.”
“Everyone thinks they’re supposed to be a preacher. That’s bondage.”
“Most of the people become saved and they think they’re supposed to be pastors.”
Prophetic Words Misinterpreted
Repeated messages people hear:
“You’re going to serve God.”
“God’s going to use you.”
“He’s going to send you into the four corners of the world.”
“You’re going to preach the gospel.”
This produces a fixed expectation… yet not everyone’s calling is pulpit-based.
Mislabeling Gifts as Demonic
Artistic Gifts Misunderstood
“God gave somebody the talent of music.”
“You called the gift demonic.”
“Acting… is pretend. Have you ever seen a zombie? Acting is pretend.”
“All these giftings you are given, they are a platform to touch somebody in the world.”
Artists and Creatives
“I have such an understanding of artists, creatives, because I’m one of them.”
“I wish you knew how many have come to Christ without you knowing.”
The real issue is not artistry:
“When you are controlled, you are under a spell. That is the definition of witchcraft.”
What Bewitching Looks Like
Biblical Pattern
Bar-Jesus “bewitched the whole city” not by spells, but because “men looked at him and said, ‘This is the power of God.’”
Bewitching = manipulating perception.
Church Culture as Witchcraft
When believers see someone worldly and respond with judgment instead of compassion:
“I am also bewitched.”
“Jesus came for the lost. Where is my heart for the lost?”
Failure to reflect Christ’s compassion is evidence of being shaped by the system.
Expectation as a Form of Witchcraft
Unrealistic Spiritual Standards
“When we see someone born again one week, one month… we expect them to be at our level.”
Expectation becomes a weapon:
“You are bewitched.”
Comparison to Personal Experience
Teachings like:
“My pastor told me…”
“My experience was like this…”
Internal correction:
“Your testimony is not mine.”
The Holy Spirit and Misunderstood Theology
Examples from Scripture
Samson:
“The child that is inside of your womb already has the Holy Spirit in them.”
“Already in covenant.”
Jesus:
“Born of the Spirit of God… all he needed was the Spirit upon.”
John the Baptist:
“Already full of the Holy Spirit in his mother’s womb.”
Misjudging Others
“Prophet TB Joshua said, ‘I got born again in my mother’s womb.’
That is not the protocol of the church… I’m like, you people are idiots. You don’t read your Bible.”
How Witchcraft Operates in Church Structures
Control Through Norms
“If you don’t fit into these boxes…”
Speaking in tongues is treated as the evidence, even though Scripture says:
“They spoke in tongues as the Spirit gave utterance.”
“They spoke.”
“The Holy Spirit just gave them utterance.”
Evidence of the Spirit
“If you are supposed to be in the Spirit and you end up in the flesh, you have been bewitched.”
Distortion Through Comparison
Inherited Pressure
Stories of children discovering calling differently.
Emphasis: callings differ; experiences differ.
Spectacular encounters do not define legitimacy.
A System That Divides
“Those things bring divisions and they bring sects.”
“If you don’t fit these boxes, you are removed, labeled: mark and avoid.”
Systemic Witchcraft Inside the Church
A System That Labels and Excludes
“In the church, we don’t have systemic racism; we have systemic witchcraft.”
“If you don’t subscribe to this culture and this way of doing church, you are removed.”
“You are labeled. Mark and avoid.”
Impact on Destiny
“If this can happen in the church, what is happening to your destiny?”
“What is happening to your calling?”
Misjudging Callings Outside the Pulpit
Actors and Multi-Gifted Individuals
“I have sons and daughters who are actors, but they can also preach.”
“God can give you grace to do both of them.”
When concerns are raised about acting roles:
“Acting is pretend.”
Music and Creative Industries
“I’ve never met any artist and told them, change your music. Why would I do that?”
“God will do that if He feels like it. It’s not my duty to do that.”
Restricted Thinking
The church destroys destinies by demanding conformity:
“We are out here destroying destinies of people who are supposed to bring millions and millions of souls to Christ.”
Appearance, Culture, and False Markers of ‘Holiness’
Judging Things God Does Not Judge
Examples from comments online:
“How can you have tattoos and serve God?”
“You can’t be a man of God because you have this.”
Correction:
“My God, did you just miss what God did? You are bewitched.”
Historical Examples
Samson: “He had locks… matted hair.”
Religious culture demands clean-cut appearances, but Scripture demonstrates diversity.
Shallow Focus
“God is healing people. God is delivering people. People are growing in their relationship with Christ. You—your issue is that hair.”
“You—your issue is why did you put tattoo on your skin?”
Disruptors Break Systems
The Assignment to Disrupt
“God has made me a disruptor.”
“He’s using me to disrupt systems.”
Reactions When the Mold Is Broken
“These people were coming up; they don’t even know me. But when they talk about me, you think they’ve known me.”
“When you break the mold, the system will try to wheel you back in.”
Independence from Public Opinion
Personal statement:
“Does it mean I will forever have dreads? No. Maybe there’s a time I’ll cut them off… maybe remove tattoos… but that won’t determine whether God uses me or not.”
The System’s Attempt to Control Expression
Control as Witchcraft
“When you are controlled, you are under a spell.”
Control operates through:
expectations
culture
religious norms
demands for conformity
Divine Unpredictability
“God is not controlled by cultural boxes.”
“When you break the mold, the system will try to wheel you back in.”
The Call to Authenticity
The call is for people to become themselves in God—not replicas.
Disruptors expose:
false spiritual standards
surface-level holiness
the insecurity of systems
the fear behind control
Knowing Calling Determines What to Refuse
Clarity Brings Boundaries
“When you understand what you are called to do, then you know what to say no to.”
“If you don’t know what you’re called to do, you say yes to everything.”
Bound by Old Yeses
“I had said yes to too many things when I didn’t know what I was called to do.”
When it was time to say yes to God, “all the other obligations I had placed in my life prior started calling my name.”
Past Attachments Pull Back
“Hey J.”
“Alfred James… come back.”
Opportunities, salaries, and commitments begin to summon a person backward.
Block 6 — Opportunities Carry Spirits
Discernment of Attachments
“When opportunities come, you know what spirit is attached to it.”
Some open doors are traps disguised as blessings.
“We can sometimes be blinded by the salary.”
“We need to understand what spirit is attached to that salary… what spirit is attached to that opportunity.”
False Promotions
The system can “keep us bound a lot longer, even when we’ve said yes to God.”
Many believers are “subjected into a system where it’s almost like I have to finish this contract.”
Declaring Freedom
“I am declaring and decreeing that God is going to break every single thing the enemy has tried to place over your life to keep you bound in the system that you were not called to.”
The Cost of Leaving One Master
A Spiritual Law
“If you abandon a master, you don’t take his benefits with you.”
“If I abandon one master, he will take his things with him.”
“That’s how Satan operates.”
Contrast with God
“The only one who gives gifts is God.”
“Even if you leave Him, He leaves you with a gift that you remember that He was good.”
“That is why God is called a good God.”
Practical Example
“When you lose your job, they take their insurance.”
“Some of you have remained in certain employments because they pay your insurance.”
Fear-Based Living
“Notice the system has made you believe you will get sick.”
People keep insurance for fear of future breakdowns: “Yet from the time you’ve had insurance, maybe you’ve used it one time.”
Warning Against Impulsive Decisions
No Blind Steps
“Somebody watching this will say, tomorrow I’m quitting my job on faith. Please don’t do it.”
“We haven’t finished speaking.”
“There is no such thing as blind faith.”
“Faith is precise. Faith is definite.”
Life Analogy
“You don’t assume you’re breathing. You know.”
When You Leave the System, It Takes Its Tools
Consequences of Defection from Darkness
“You leave one master—he takes his stuff away.”
“You don’t walk away from Jesus and you still have eternal life.”
“You don’t denounce your citizenship and expect the nation you used to be in to serve and protect you.”
The Occult Example
Why Many Lose Their Minds
“Most of the people you see on the streets crazy… lost their mind… didn’t lose their mind.”
“Most of them were actually in the occult.”
“When you try to defect, they take your mind.”
People screaming, “They are chasing me! They are coming for me!” are often describing real spiritual entities they once served.
Not All Mental Collapse Is Psychological
“Some of them… it’s not that they have a broken soul.”
“Some of them were actually in the occult.”
Loss That Hits When Calling Emerges
The Testimony of Sudden Collapse
When the shift to God begins, battles intensify:
“That’s when my divorce happened.”
“That’s when I lost everything.”
“Everything that could go wrong in my life went wrong.”
“Everything happened like a tsunami at the same time.”
Competition for the Soul
“It’s almost like a competition for your soul. Not like — it is.”
The Soul Reveals Its Captivity
How to Measure Who Has You
“How do you know that your soul is being captured? It is who has your attention.”
“If your mind can go carnal, then somebody has you.”
“To be carnally minded is enmity with God.”
Prayer as an Indicator
“How do you know your soul is under attack? When you can’t pray.”
“You want to pray but you can’t.”
“You attempt to pray but you don’t have the strength.”
Strength exists for entertainment, but not for prayer:
“You have the strength to watch a show, to go out with your friends.”
Signs That Drifting Has Already Happened
Spiritual Dullness
“When you want to pray… let me look at what’s going on on Instagram.”
“Your attention is pulled. Somebody has you.”
Prayer Network Disconnected
“You are just saying it but you are dry.”
“The network is not reading.”
“You have one bar and it’s going into SOS. One bar SOS is bad.”
Self-Deliverance Requires Effort
“It will take a lot more pushing for you to self-deliver.”
“Not all deliverance is from demons. Sometimes the deliverance is of your attention.”
False Security and Fighting Against God
Misplaced Sense of Being ‘In Purpose’
Testimony shared to illustrate self-deception:
“If you had asked me at that time, I would have said, ‘Oh no, I am in the will and purpose of God.’”
Correction:
“You told me that… you needed deliverance of five-fold ministry.”
Bound by a System While Thinking You Are Free
“You cannot fathom security in God.”
“Your mind has been blinded.”
“How can you not see that God is more secure and more safe than what you think you are giving to yourself?”
Mercy as the Only Explanation
“It is truly the mercy of God.”
“Because you are fighting against God.”
The Relocation Testimony (Illustration of Breaking the System)
Houston Encounter
Meeting occurred during UFC fight week.
Description:
Sweet African food
Unawareness of coming transition
“I told her a lot of things, but she didn’t get the picture.”
Prophetic Warning
“You are not going to be here as long as you are thinking.”
“She didn’t know what was coming.”
System Shaken
“The winds shook the place so much.”
Sudden crisis triggers awakening.
Journey to LA
“Yeah, I just want to come and visit you for one week.”
“She said she was going to drive… she doesn’t know she is coming but she is not going back.”
Car dies in Amarillo:
“My car is dead but it died by a dealership.”
“Go in, I am buying you a car.”
Eyes Opened Upon Arrival
“When she got here is when her eyes were opened.”
Realization:
“I was suffering because I was foolish.”
Cultural Note
“In our culture… older brother or younger brother.”
Deliverance from Grinding, Entering Rest
Compulsion to Earn Everything
“The idea of rest… that mental deliverance was so hard.”
“I have to make it happen… I have to figure it out… I have to get it together.”
System Conditioning
“Those skills were picked up out of suffering… thinking you were building, but you were not building. It was just survival.”
Shift from Grinding to Functioning
“God is wanting to take us from a season of grinding to functioning.”
Grinding = depending on ability
Functioning = depending on calling
Clarity Produces Ease
“When you are doing the things that God has called you to do, you don’t have to worry about the results because He is responsible for the results.”
False Productivity
“You can be busy doing nothing.”
Transition Into Rest and Provision
Provision Without Striving
“For the first time in her life… dreaming and seeing the goodness of God… struggle is gone.”
“Wake up and do the will of God while you prepare yourself for the next things God is going to bring.”
Destiny Ripple Effect
“If I remained in the system, then my little sister would still be in the system.”
Misaligned Prayer: When Prayer Becomes Unbelief
Hustling in Prayer
Illustration of intense, dramatic praying:
“Father, my God, my God…”
“Interrupt my prayers.”
“What are you fighting about?”
Correction:
“There’s a time for that, but now you are just wasting.”
Fasting Without Alignment
“I tried to fast… I felt my spirit was disconnected.”
“I felt like my prayer life is dying… my fasting life is done.”
Upgrade Misinterpreted as Decline
“It was literally an upgrade, an elevation.”
Prayer Out of Unbelief
“Her prayer was actually unbelief.”
“Not praying out of rest.”
Dependence on Systems Even in Spirituality
“Your security is in applying the system of prayer… you have to pray so that you are secure.”
God’s Proven Care Redefines Prayer
Rest Instead of Ritual
“God has cared for you, seen you, heard you before you ever prayed a prayer.”
No Fear-Based Night Prayers
“I don’t pray for God to protect me when I’m going to sleep.”
“That’s nonsense.”
“God gives sleep to His beloved.”
“I am God’s beloved. I’m knocking out.”
Witches and Nightmares
“You covered your house in the blood, but you’re still having nightmares… being choked.”
“Where is the blood that you applied?”
Evaluating Your Prayer Life Realistically
Prayer That Produces Nothing Must Be Examined
“I’ve been praying like this for this amount of time. What has changed?”
“If nothing has changed, then I need to change my approach of prayer, or I need to change how I am.”
“My approach, what I am saying, my heart — I need to make an adjustment because God is not a liar.”
“If I’m not getting anything, then there is something I am not doing.”
Nonsensical Prayer Habits
“In church we just use: ‘Yes Lord, yes Lord, You will do it Lord.’”
“You didn’t say anything in that moment of prayer.”
“You are just chanting, breathing, and wasting the electricity because you didn’t accomplish anything.”
Empty Phrases
“Yes Lord — did He say something?”
“‘Have Your way Lord’ — right now Lord, right now Lord… right now what?”
Comparing with Scriptural Models
Scripture Shows Functional Prayer
“Observe Moses’ prayer, observe Jonah’s prayer, observe David’s prayer.”
“Look at the Psalms. Nobody was doing the nonsense we are doing.”
The Ghana Prophet Illustration
Inherited Tongues and Performative Prayer
A mighty prophet in Ghana gave a prayer point: “Lift your voice and pray.”
The prayer team responded: “Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!”
Reaction: “What is this? I will slap you.”
Correction: “Can we pray seriously? What is ‘A-a-a-a’?”
Explanation:
“Maybe the first one was actually praying in tongues.”
“Then it became a culture — it’s no longer your prayer.”
“Every prayer has the same tongue.”
The False Strength of Formula-Based Prayer
African Prayer Groups Example
“People will take towels.”
“Stand for eight hours straight, no breaks.”
“Sweating… sauna has nothing on them.”
“But poverty is still there. Struggle is still there. Nothing is changing.”
Lack of Self-Assessment
“No one is wise enough to say: hmm, maybe I’m not praying the correct way.”
True Prayer: Balance of Spirit and Understanding
Tongues and Understanding
“I believe in praying in tongues.”
“But I also believe in praying in your understanding.”
“There are certain things you can pray in tongues, you pray in your understanding.”
When Grinding Enters Prayer Life
Prayer Becomes Labor Instead of Relationship
“When the system has entangled you, you will start even grinding in prayer.”
“Yet prayer is an act of rest.”
Prayer Defined
“Prayer is an act of rest.”
“Come unto Me all you who are heavy burdened…”
“We are trying to get trophies for how long we can fast… how long we can pray.”
Prayer Results Are What Matter
“Is prayer about you or about the man who will answer you, who is God?”
“Your prayer is as effective as the person that will answer you.”
“If I can pray for 10 hours, and Jesus can say one sentence and get results… something is wrong with my prayer.”
Mimicking Godliness Without Power
Intimacy vs. Performance
“Where there is no intimacy, we begin to mimic.”
“A form of godliness, denying the power thereof.”
Prayer Time vs. Prayer Outcome
“Somebody praying 30 minutes is better than you.”
“Something is wrong.”
Correction of Misaligned Fervency
Unbelief Mistaken for Warfare
“Her prayer was actually unbelief.”
“Not praying out of rest.”
“Praying out of a system.”
False Sense of Securing Yourself
“Your security is in applying the system of prayer… so you think you have to pray so that you are secure.”
God’s Care Precedes Prayer
“God has cared for you, seen you, heard you before you ever prayed a prayer.”
God’s Protection Without Rituals
Confidence of Sonship
“I don’t pray for God to protect me when I’m going to sleep.”
“God gives sleep to His beloved.”
“I am God’s beloved. I’m knocking out.”
“He watches over Israel — does not sleep nor slumber.”
The Ineffectiveness of Ritualistic Coverings
“You covered your house in the blood but you’re still having nightmares… being choked.”
“Where is the blood that you applied?”

We honor Your vessel in this church.
And Lord, we say that all to do with us this week shall not only be blessed,
but Father, it shall prosper so that the world may know the One that has made us well,
the Lord that has sent us to a world that is dying to know You.
We thank You, Lord Jesus.
We bless You.
And we ask that You would keep each and every person here
until we meet again tomorrow morning for Prophetic School 8.0.
In Jesus’ mighty name.
