Dr. Dodzweit’s Podcast

There is no title higher than being a servant of God — not doctor, not pilot, not president. In this powerful opener to our new series "Serve the Lord," we dive into the life of King Uzziah, a 16-year-old who rose to the throne and chose to seek God above everything else.

✨ Why serving God is the highest calling you can ever walk in
👑 How ordinary people, millionaires, and even politicians in the Bible served God without compromise
📈 The 5 benefits Uzziah received because he sought the Lord — prosperity, gifts, a far-reaching name, the grace to build, and marvelous help
⚠️ The warning behind his tragic downfall when pride crept in
🗣️ A call to declare: "As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord!"

🎙️ The Contradiction of Sinners | Hebrews 12:1-3

If you've ever felt like the world is against you — misquoted, misunderstood, or written off for standing on your faith — you're in good company. Jesus faced it too. His words were twisted. His miracles were called witchcraft. Even His resurrection was covered up with a bribe. And yet He never stopped being who He was.

In this message, we walk through Hebrews 12 and ask what it really means to "consider Him who endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself" — and why endurance, not retaliation, is the strategy that wins. This one will challenge you to stop running from the noise around you and start standing firm in who God says you are.

You can have talent, education, and all the right connections — and still be dry. The anointing is what changes everything. It's the supernatural capacity to do what is naturally impossible, and in this powerful Transform Summit message, Bishop unpacks exactly how to receive it.

From Old Testament kings and priests to Jesus himself returning from the wilderness in the power of the Spirit, the pattern is clear: the anointing doesn't fall on the passive. It comes to those who chase it.

In this message, you'll discover five keys to catching the anointing:

🔥 Intense desire — You cannot receive what you don't actively pursue. Like Elisha who refused to stop following Elijah, hunger determines how much you carry.
🙏 Prayer and fasting — The anointing has a price. Jesus didn't return from the wilderness saying "The Spirit is upon me" without first spending 40 days in the place of prayer.
🤝 Close association with anointed vessels — There is an impartation that comes through proximity. Who you stay near shapes who you become.
👂 What you listen to — The voices you feed daily will either stir the anointing or dry you out completely.
🙌 The laying on of hands — Impartation is real. But protect your head — not everyone who reaches for you carries what you need.

Whether you've felt stuck, dry, or like your gifts aren't breaking through, this message will ignite a fresh hunger for the oil that breaks every yoke.

🔑 Key Scriptures: Isaiah 10:27, Luke 4:14-18, Acts 1:8, 2 Kings 2:9, James 5:14-15, 1 John 2:26-27

#HowToCatchTheAnointing #TransformSummit

Goliath was the enemy you could see coming. The enemy within was the one hiding at your own table. But there's a third enemy David had to face — one that doesn't show up until your strength has already started to fade.

In 2 Samuel 21, an aging, battle-worn David grows faint in combat for the first time in his life. As he weakens, a new threat emerges: Ishbi-Benob, a descendant of Goliath, who waits patiently for David's prime years to pass before making his move. This sermon unpacks a sobering truth — some enemies don't attack your strength, they attack your decline. They study you, they wait, and they strike the moment your guard is down.

We'll explore who Ishbi-Benob represents in our own lives, why the things you once conquered effortlessly can become a fight in later seasons, and most importantly — how David survived this twilight-years ambush. You'll learn three keys to outlasting the enemy that targets you in your weakest, most vulnerable moments:

⚔️ Strategic foresight — staying one step ahead, like David did against Ahithophel's counsel
🛡️ A loyal circle — surrounding yourself with mighty, faithful warriors who fight for you
👁️ Recognizing the season you're in and refusing to let your guard down

Whether you're in your prime or already feeling the weight of years and battles fought, this message will prepare you to finish strong and defeat the enemy assigned to your twilight.

🔑 Key Scriptures: 2 Samuel 21:15-17, 2 Samuel 23, 1 Chronicles 11

#TwilightYears #DavidSeries #COTC #CityOfTransformationChurch

Last week, David faced Goliath — an enemy he could see, name, and confront. This week, he faces a far more dangerous enemy: one living in his own house, eating at his own table, and sleeping under his own roof. King Saul, once David's protector and surrogate father, becomes consumed by jealousy after the women of Israel sing David's praises above his own — and that jealousy turns deadly.

In this powerful message, we trace Saul's transformation from ally to adversary and uncover the unmistakable marks of an enemy within: proximity, pretense, and a hidden plan for your destruction. We see how Saul used betrayal, manipulation, and even his own children as instruments against David — and how David survived it all.

You'll discover the three things that kept David alive in the face of betrayal:
🛡️ A genuine friend (his "Jonathan") who protected and warned him
👁️ Vigilance — staying spiritually alert even in seasons of celebration
💍 A protective spouse who chose loyalty over family pressure

This message is a call to discernment — to recognize that not every enemy comes from the outside, and not everyone smiling in your face is for you. Get ready to be strengthened, sobered, and equipped to survive the enemy within.

🔑 Key Scriptures: 1 Samuel 18-19, 1 Peter 5:8

#TheEnemyWithin #DavidAndSaul #COTC #CityOfTransformationChurch

Everyone is fighting something. A health crisis. A financial war. Forces of darkness. A Goliath that has been mocking you for 40 days, 40 months, maybe 40 years.

But here's what God wants you to know — you are more than a conqueror.

In this powerful message drawn from the story of David and Goliath, we unpack 5 battle-tested strategies to help you overcome every giant standing in your way:

✅ Accept the Challenge — Stop running. Your Goliath won't be defeated by someone else.
✅ Ignore Your Critics — Eliab, Saul, even Goliath himself tried to disqualify David. Don't let critics steal your focus.
✅ Use What You've Tested — Don't go into battle with untested equipment. Know your tools, know your strengths.
✅ Remember Your Past Victories — The God who brought you through before is the same God fighting for you now.
✅ Fight in the Name of the Lord — It's not your power, your plan, or your sling — it's the Name above every name.

Your victory is not just for you. When you win, you embolden everyone watching. Don't give up — you have the DNA of a victor inside of you.
