Galatians 6:7 • If you've been anywhere near a school hallway, a grocery store, or a bleacher in the last year — you've heard it. Before the chant went viral, God already owned the address.

⛪ Preached at Pilgrim Baptist Church • Cookeville, TN • February 22, 2026.

Something grabbed a number, packaged it in a melody borrowed from the most-watched children's song in internet history, attached it to a self-admitted Santería priest, and sent it into the mouths of an entire generation. Christian parents called it "brain rot" and moved on. Pastor Fortunato says: look closer.

This message walks through every 6:7 address in the Bible — from Genesis to Galatians — to show that whatever came to claim that number arrived at an address God had already been living at for a thousand years. This isn't a message of panic. It's a message of authority.

The rapper behind the trend is a self-admitted initiated priest in Santería who sacrifices animals, dedicates his music career to orishas (false deities), and openly places the works of darkness on display. And children across America — including children in Christian homes — can't stop repeating it. Jesus named this exact mechanism in Matthew 6:7. The enemy didn't invent a new strategy. He put God's strategy in reverse.

This expository sermon walks through Scripture address by address, explaining:

• Exodus 6:7 — God staked his claim on your children before any principality did

• Deuteronomy 6:7 — God's command to parents to fill their children's minds first, through daily repetition

• Matthew 6:7 — Jesus names vain repetition and identifies it as the heathen method — before it ever went viral

• Genesis 6:7 — The pattern and consequence when heathen customs become normalized in a generation

• Isaiah 6:7 — God offers the coal to the unclean lips before the wrong chant fills them

• Mark 6:7 — Jesus releases authority over unclean spirits before the principalities showed up

• Galatians 6:7 — God is not mocked. You cannot brand a generation with a number God already owns.

The right response isn't dismissal (the sleeping church) and it isn't panic (a church that forgot who it serves). It's authority — seated far above all principality and power in the name of Christ.
