- 2:49then all servants of God who are here. I believe
- 2:54that the Lord has gathered us tonight. Thank you for
- 2:58the honor you have showed me. But then I know
- 3:01that our lives will never be the same. We're going
- 3:05to be very brief. Tonight is a prayer meeting. Will
- 3:08start with a prayer meeting tonight. But I want you
- 3:11to be.
- 3:12Speaker 1: Very, very sensitive. For the Bible says, now the Lord
- 3:18is that spirit.
- 3:20Speaker 3: There are many spirits, but there is that spirit. And
- 3:26the Bible says where the spirit of the Lord is,
- 3:30It says there is liberty.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Then it says we all.
- 3:36Speaker 3: With faces unveiled, beholding him as in a mirror.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It says, we are changed.
- 3:43Speaker 3: That's what is happening to you right now. In the
- 3:47name of Jesus, who is the Son of the Living God.
- 3:51Please be seated, and God bless you. The Lord puts
- 4:03it in my heart.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I have been.
- 4:07Speaker 3: Responding to a very strong burden of the spirit. In
- 4:17the last say one or two months. The Lord has
- 4:27been laying it very strongly in my heart as to
- 4:31the many things that He is doing across the globe,
- 4:34and the need to build people.
- 4:36Speaker 1: Who have capacity and stature to.
- 4:39Speaker 3: Be able to handle that which God intends to do
- 4:43in this season. And I believe that this conference is
- 4:46no different. That God, even by his spirit, is putting
- 4:51in place all that is needed and all that it
- 4:54would take to fan that flame of reviver and the
- 4:59Lord Granzo's grace. In the name of Jesus, I'm teaching
- 5:05on the Comming Revival, the Coming Revival a conference. My
- 5:11sessions will be a revival series the Coming Revival, and.
- 5:21Speaker 1: Tonight will be part one.
- 5:23Speaker 3: We'll be looking at what a subtitle that I call
- 5:28Penny l Encounter with the God of Jacob, Encounter with
- 5:36the God of Jacob in that experience that he called
- 5:41Penny L the faith of God.
- 5:48Speaker 1: All across the globe, believers.
- 5:52Speaker 3: Have been perceiving at different levels that there is coming
- 5:57a mighty move of God, not just in Europe alone,
- 6:04not just in America, the Caribbeans, Asia, but particularly in
- 6:09our continent, the continent of Africa. Fathers of faith. Some
- 6:16have gone to join the cloud of witnesses. Some are
- 6:19still alive like Daddy. They have prophested side and they
- 6:23have seen by the Spirit of God that the time
- 6:26is coming. In the church age where there will be
- 6:29such an imagines and imagines of men and women, and
- 6:35imagines of people with power, and imagines of people with stature,
- 6:42and imagines of people who have an understanding of God
- 6:48and of Kingdom advance. And for many these prophetic words
- 6:53have become like cliches without a performance, because many people
- 7:00have waited for years and even for decades.
- 7:03Speaker 1: When will this revival come? When will this move of
- 7:09God come?
- 7:10Speaker 3: And how can I be part of what God is doing?
- 7:14How can I be part of this global revival that
- 7:18will usher in the Christ as he returns. And so
- 7:23I've been burdened to teach and share the things that
- 7:27have to do with the move of God and even
- 7:30the coming revival for many reasons.
- 7:32Speaker 1: Number one, because on one.
- 7:34Speaker 3: Hand, there are people who are canal, complacant, tired, worn
- 7:41out like the five Foolish Virgins, and they don't seem
- 7:45to be interested in the things of God.
- 7:49Speaker 1: They do not seem to be interested in prophecy.
- 7:53Speaker 3: Number two, there are those who are sincere, whose hearts
- 7:56are open. They love Jesus Christ and they want to
- 8:00be part of his program, but they have not been
- 8:04methodically mentored to understand the demands.
- 8:08Speaker 1: Of hosting the presence and the power of God.
- 8:12Speaker 3: Even in these end times, I have seen very sincere preachers,
- 8:16sincere businessmen, sincere politicians, academicians, people across different fields of
- 8:22endevl who have very strong Godly and Christian convictions. They
- 8:28know that the move of God is coming, but they
- 8:31are at a loss.
- 8:32Speaker 1: Like the sons of Noah.
- 8:35Speaker 3: The Lord spoke to Noah and said rain is coming,
- 8:37I will wipe the earth in a flowed but they
- 8:41were at a loss as to what strategy would exempt
- 8:44them from that. They needed Noah to come and now
- 8:47begin to teach them that the strategy would be to
- 8:50build an act of Gopher would trace stories, and then
- 8:55to preserve themselves and their families. For those who are
- 9:01comepleasant and not serious with the things of God, just
- 9:05plain religion or do not even they are completely not
- 9:09interested in anything that has to do with Kingdom. Our
- 9:14responsibility to such people is the ministry of prophetic intercession.
- 9:20That we continue to pray that their eyes be opened,
- 9:23that the captivity that the God of this world has
- 9:27brought to their lives by casting a spell upon their
- 9:31hearts and their.
- 9:32Speaker 1: Minds, so that they are not able to see Christ
- 9:35for who he is, that that will be.
- 9:37Speaker 3: Taken away, so that like Paul, they will come into
- 9:41that comprehension of Jesus Christ and that program for their lives.
- 9:47But for those who are already in the faith, preachers, businessmen, congregants,
- 9:55successful men, people who love Jesus some with all your hearts,
- 10:01and they are determined to be part of His program,
- 10:04it is important that there be.
- 10:08Speaker 1: A system of bringing to their minds.
- 10:13Speaker 3: And unfeeling of God's prophetic blueprint. What is God doing
- 10:18right now across the globe?
- 10:22Speaker 1: And then what are the demands?
- 10:24Speaker 3: What does it take to be part of God's program?
- 10:30Speaker 1: Are we stay together? You may have heard me say
- 10:36it in any.
- 10:36Speaker 3: Of my teachings that you may have found that there
- 10:39are three levels of the anointing. I want you to
- 10:41please pay attention tonight. Number one, there is the anointing
- 10:46that comes upon the believer, or is at work in
- 10:50the believer by.
- 10:51Speaker 1: Reason of being grafted into Christ.
- 10:55Speaker 3: When you come into Christ, there is a measure of
- 10:58the anointing, the powerment, and the engracing of the spirit.
- 11:02The Bible teaches that is at work in your life.
- 11:07The second level of the anointing is the anointing that
- 11:11comes upon a believer by reason of the office that
- 11:15you occupy, as far as God's program is concerned. So
- 11:20when you find your place in purpose and destiny, be
- 11:23it in ministry, be it in business, be it in politics.
- 11:27Speaker 1: The moment you find your place.
- 11:30Speaker 3: There is the ngrasing send from Heaven to back you
- 11:34and to make for your efficiency as a weakness. That
- 11:37is the second level of the anointing connected to purpose.
- 11:44The third level of the anointing is connected to discernment
- 11:48and alignment. So the first level of the annointing is
- 11:51connected to your relationship with Jesus' new birth. The second
- 11:56level of your annointing is connected to purpose.
- 12:00Speaker 1: The third level of.
- 12:01Speaker 3: Your annointing is connected to discernment and alignment. This level
- 12:06of your anointing does not just come because you are
- 12:08a Christian. This level of the anointing does not just
- 12:12come because you are Godly. This level of the anointing
- 12:15does not even just come because you.
- 12:17Speaker 1: Are saving and you are in the program of God.
- 12:20Speaker 3: This level of the anointing is an honor and a
- 12:22reward to you for discerning what God is doing past
- 12:27season per time and paying the price of alignment to
- 12:32be part of His program. Are we together now? So
- 12:37you will find people who are experiencing the anointing, the
- 12:41measure of grace that comes by reason of being a
- 12:44child of God. Because the Bible says as many as
- 12:48received him, he says, he gave them power. So there
- 12:51is power that was given to them. Then there are
- 12:55those who have found your place in life and destiny,
- 12:58and they have obtained the grace and the anointing connected
- 13:02to purpose. But hear me, in this end time, there
- 13:07are mantles, there.
- 13:09Speaker 1: Are graces, There.
- 13:10Speaker 3: Are anointings that are not just looking for believers, not
- 13:15just looking for preachers, not just looking for God lovers,
- 13:19but looking for people who can stand Like Haber Cook.
- 13:23He says, I will stand upon my watch and I
- 13:26will set myself upon the tower that I will see
- 13:30what the Lord will say. This man will carry strange
- 13:35levels of anointings and will be able to do so
- 13:38much for the Lord in this end time. My assignment tonight,
- 13:45as I prepare us to pray, is to help us
- 13:50understand the demands. What does it take to be part
- 13:55of God's end time?
- 13:57Speaker 1: Move? What does it take?
- 13:59Speaker 3: What will it take for the church in a number state,
- 14:03what will it take for the believer within this territory?
- 14:07Speaker 1: What will it take to host the move and the
- 14:10purposes of God within your territory?
- 14:13Speaker 3: Can I tell you this with all your respect, I
- 14:16submit to you, most of our singing and dancing about
- 14:20revival will only end the songs.
- 14:23Speaker 1: Revival is not a wish. There is a price.
- 14:28Speaker 3: Revival is more than a wish, and awakening, a move
- 14:32of the Spirit across individuals and then territories, a display
- 14:38of the power, the grace, the presence of God.
- 14:42Speaker 1: It takes more than a desire.
- 14:44Speaker 3: That's why I started with that song Revivals.
- 14:48Speaker 1: Okay.
- 14:52Speaker 3: I believe that seated in this beautiful auditorium tonight, I
- 14:57believe that following online across the globe are men and
- 15:03women who have responded to this call by the Spirit.
- 15:07More than just by invitation. It's a call by the
- 15:10Spirit because the Holy Spirit is still searching for men and.
- 15:15Speaker 1: Women who will be available.
- 15:19Speaker 3: In Isaiah chapter six, the Bible says, in the year
- 15:23that King Osiah died, I Isaiah saw the Lord, and
- 15:28that he saw him, he was high and lifted up,
- 15:31and that the train of his rope filled the temple.
- 15:35And then when Isaiah saw all of that. This is
- 15:38what he said, Wo is me?
- 15:40Speaker 1: For I am undone?
- 15:42Speaker 3: He said, I am a man of on clean lips,
- 15:45and I dwell amix the people upon clean lips nerves?
- 15:49Who is that person who will embody our desire? And
- 15:53Isaiah said, I don't know the name of what I
- 15:55was doing before this encounter, But Lord, here am I.
- 16:01The question I would always ask is from chapter one
- 16:04to five, who sent him?
- 16:07Speaker 1: Because he was not a fake process.
- 16:10Speaker 3: The book of Isaiah begins with a prophecy, a genuine
- 16:14prophecy by a man of God. But by the time
- 16:18we get to chapter six, the man is crying again.
- 16:22Speaker 5: Send me, my soul, says Yus, says us, says yes.
- 16:33My soul says yes, saysus to her. We my life
- 16:44says yes, saysous says yes. My life says yes, saysious
- 16:58to her.
- 17:02Speaker 3: So my assignment as we begin tonight is to begin
- 17:06to open us up to what it takes to be
- 17:10used by God. Please look up. Let me tell you this.
- 17:14Speaker 1: It is never God's desire, my precious people.
- 17:18Speaker 3: Never God's desire to have only a handful of mighty
- 17:24men and women in ministry. Mighty kingdom, financiers and entrepreneurs
- 17:30in business with the kingdom mindset, mighty men and women
- 17:35in politics, and so on and so forth, frontiering the
- 17:38course of the kingdom, while several believers just remain spectators,
- 17:43clapping for those who are producing on common resolve.
- 17:46Speaker 1: No, it is our corporate heritage in Christ.
- 17:51Speaker 3: Efficients, please give me efficient.
- 17:53Speaker 1: Chapter three from verse ten. I want you to read
- 17:57that scripture with all your heart.
- 18:00Speaker 3: In fact, Efficians three, Let's start from three to five,
- 18:04then would jump to verse ten.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Media, can we walk together? Efficians up the three? Will
- 18:09I have it here? Okay? Beautiful?
- 18:12Speaker 3: The Bible says, let's start from verse three, Epicients three,
- 18:16who do three to five, then will go to verse
- 18:18ten in that order, three to five then verse.
- 18:21Speaker 1: Ten, Apostle Paul is speaking, the.
- 18:29Speaker 3: Power of God is coming on five people. Now I
- 18:32will continue teaching, but this revive. I just saw something
- 18:36that looked like is sicle a hab that sicle, and
- 18:39the Lord is saying, there are five people here that he.

- 25:15a symbol of access, access to realms, access to dimensions.
- 25:21First spiritually, but it's translated into different levels.
- 25:25Speaker 1: Some of you are men of God. Some of you
- 25:27have business people. Peez, I release.

- 27:12Speaker 1: I am a no inter for someone. Hear me.
- 27:17Speaker 3: Don't tell me your limitation is that your parents when
- 27:20to be with the Lord. I sympathize with you. But
- 27:23God is still looking for people in this season. Tell
- 27:29me I have saw you. By God, every great man
- 27:34you celebrate today is only a sample of what is
- 27:37to come. When he sends a ward to Chekhov, his
- 27:44intention is that the entire Israel be enlightened by that word.
- 27:50Let Meterially, financially, there are many people who are trusting
- 27:58God for grace to be the rust of their time
- 28:01to be the financial apostles that God will commit.
- 28:04Speaker 1: The wealth of nations.
- 28:06Speaker 3: There are people who are trusting God to bring levels
- 28:09of the prophetic that we.
- 28:10Speaker 1: Have not seen in modern history. Hear me, beloved, having all.
- 28:15Speaker 3: The dreams and the visions are wonderful, but there is
- 28:18a demand. The first revelation is that being used by
- 28:24God is moderan a gift.
- 28:26Speaker 1: It is a reward for paying a certain kind of price.
- 28:32Speaker 3: The narrative that God just uses whoever he will use,
- 28:36it doesn't matter.
- 28:37Speaker 1: Their level of alignment is not accurate.
- 28:39Speaker 3: For my Bible says, nevertheless, the foundation of the Lord's
- 28:43standard show having this seal, the Lord knows them that
- 28:47are his, and that every man that names the name
- 28:51of Christ must depart from iniquity. Then it noun gives
- 28:54us an analogy.
- 28:55Speaker 1: He says, in a.
- 28:56Speaker 3: Great house there are four kinds of vessels. That there
- 28:59are vessels of gold, of silver, of wood, and of clay.
- 29:04It still cause all of them vessels. He now goes
- 29:08further to say, some vessels are onto honor, and some
- 29:12vessels are onto dishonor condition.
- 29:17Speaker 1: If a man will touch.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Himself, that man will become a vessel onto honor, meet
- 29:25for the Master's use.
- 29:30Speaker 1: What does it take for God to use men?
- 29:37Speaker 3: What does it take for men to inexperience? Be a
- 29:42display of the power, the wisdom.
- 29:45Speaker 1: The influence, the wealth of God, especially in this end time.
- 29:52I will tell you, are you ready for the first price?
- 29:56This will be the first that would take tonight.
- 29:58Speaker 3: Drawing from the story of Jacob, the first price, non
- 30:04negoshable price, is the price of brokenness.
- 30:10Speaker 1: Brokenness is a very.
- 30:13Speaker 3: Old teaching that our fathers and the patriarchs thought. Now
- 30:19is gradually fading. Our advanced and civilized generation is fading.
- 30:24Speaker 1: That reality away. As to the fact that if.
- 30:27Speaker 3: Any man wants power with God, the non negoshable price
- 30:33is tell you very quickly.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Brokenness is a state of realization.
- 30:41Speaker 3: And a state of acknowledgement that outside of the help
- 30:45of God you are limited.
- 30:49Speaker 1: It is a state of realization and a state of.
- 30:53Speaker 3: Acknowledgement that outside of the help of God, fain is the.
- 30:59Speaker 1: Help on the strength of man God theater you want
- 31:07to do mighty things for God. The first price is
- 31:12not getting the name of a ministry or the name
- 31:15of a business. No, the first price none neck godshivil
- 31:21is the price of brokenness.
- 31:24Speaker 3: That you get to a point in your life where,
- 31:26by revelation and by an act of your will, you
- 31:30come to a salese conclusion.
- 31:33Speaker 1: That if God does not help.
- 31:34Speaker 3: Me and hold my hand, I do not sustain the
- 31:38power within myself. The Bible says, says, lean not on
- 31:41your own understanding. It says, in all your ways, how
- 31:46many all your ways acknowledge Him, and you shall direct
- 31:51your part.
- 31:52Speaker 1: Verse seven says be not wise in your own eyes.
- 31:56It's a warning. It says, fear the Lord and turn
- 31:59away from evil. Why do we need to be broken?
- 32:06Why does God ensure that I must be broken to
- 32:09be usable? I will tell you because of the tendency
- 32:14that is in the hearts of man.
- 32:18Speaker 3: Scripture is already clear that our righteousness is as filthy rags.
- 32:23Scripture is already clear that all assisted we do not
- 32:28even know what is locktop within our spirits. I want
- 32:32to show you a scripture to brotress on what I'm
- 32:36teaching you tonight. It is God helping someone Second King,
- 32:46Chapter eight. I found this scripture many years ago. Will
- 32:52begin our reading from verse seven. There were three people
- 32:55captured in this scripture.
- 32:58Speaker 1: The Bible. Before I begin to teach on this, the Bible.
- 33:03Speaker 3: Tells us in Jeremiah chapter seventeen, from verse nine and ten,
- 33:07very popular scripture Jeremiah chapter seventeen, from verse nine and ten,
- 33:12He says, the heart of man is desperately wicked.
- 33:17Speaker 1: Have you read that scripture?
- 33:18Speaker 3: Before the heart of any man, any man who has
- 33:25not been vetted and walked upon by God, no matter
- 33:29how since here and how well meaning you look. The
- 33:32verdict of God is that the heart of man is
- 33:37desperately wicked. He said, who can know it?
- 33:40Speaker 1: Verse ten. Now says I the Lord, I such the heart.
- 33:47I tried the reins, he says.
- 33:50Speaker 3: Even to give every man according to his ways and
- 33:54according to the foot of his doings.
- 33:57Speaker 1: Do you know what this means?
- 34:00Speaker 3: When you come to God and say, God, use me,
- 34:03empower me, bless me, annoyings me. Don't you think God
- 34:08is carried away by your cry or you're kneeling down,
- 34:10or you're rolling on the floor. There is a The
- 34:13Lord is telling us that there is a weakness in
- 34:16the mortal mind. So as a preacher, I may not
- 34:22even know the tendencies in my own heart. I may
- 34:27be sincere, but sincerity is not enough. There are tendencies
- 34:32in our hearts that are revealed as we grow. They
- 34:35are revealed as we're exposed. You've heard me say it
- 34:39every time, that there are tendencies in your hearts that
- 34:44can be quiet for thirty years because the opportunity for
- 34:47its manifestation has not come.
- 34:51Speaker 1: So for not come.
- 34:54Speaker 3: So when you come to God, hear me. He receives
- 34:58you as you are, but He does not send you.
- 35:01Speaker 1: As you are.
- 35:02Speaker 4: The first price is brokenness.
- 35:10Speaker 1: Are we together? Back to our text?
- 35:14Speaker 3: Second King Chapter eight. Will begin our reading from verse.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Seven.
- 35:21Speaker 3: Second Kings eight, Verse seven. Three people were involved in
- 35:25this story. Number one was the king of Syria called
- 35:29ben Hadad. This was a story about Ben Hadad. The
- 35:33second person was Hazael has A l attended. It was
- 35:37like an attendance to the king of Syria. And then
- 35:41the third was a prophet called Elijah. Now follow this
- 35:44story very carefully, a revelation of the heart of men.
- 35:50This was King ben Haddad, who was a king over Assyria.
- 35:55Speaker 1: Are we together now?
- 35:56Speaker 3: And then hazaiel was an attendant to him who served
- 36:01him faithfully. But the prophet is about to reveal something
- 36:05about the hearts of men. Follow my reading carefully. And
- 36:09Elisha came to Damascus, and ben Had that the King
- 36:13of Syria was sick.
- 36:15Speaker 1: Are you still here?
- 36:17Speaker 3: And it was told him saying, the Man of God
- 36:21is come hither next verse, and the king said to Hazael,
- 36:26take a present in thy hand, and go and meet
- 36:29the Man of God and inquire of the Lord by him, saying,
- 36:34shall I recover from this disease?
- 36:37Speaker 1: So the king wants to know if his life will
- 36:40end or if you recover. Are you ready now?
- 36:45Speaker 3: So Asael went to meet him and took a present
- 36:48with him of every good thing of Damascus, forty camel's burden.
- 36:54And he came and stood before him and said, thy son,
- 36:58ben Had, that King of Syria sent me to this saying.
- 37:01Speaker 1: Shall I recover from this disease?
- 37:04Speaker 3: Now watch what the prophet says, and then watch his
- 37:07next action. That's my that's where I'm drawing my text from.
- 37:12Elisha said, unto him, go and say unto him that
- 37:16mayor certainly recover.
- 37:18Speaker 1: How be it the Lord has shown.
- 37:21Speaker 3: Me that he shall surely die. He said, listen, I
- 37:25respect him. I can't give him this bad news. Go
- 37:28and tell him that you will recover. But between me
- 37:30and you, God has shown me that that king is
- 37:34going to die. But that's not where I'm going. The
- 37:37next verse is where I'm going. Everybody read the next verse?
- 37:40Please are you ready one to read? And he settled
- 37:45his countenance steadfastly until he was a shamed elisha now and.
- 37:51Speaker 1: The man of God wept. Let me ask for you
- 37:55what you are reading.
- 37:57Speaker 3: So Hazael comes to choir whether King Benhadad will live
- 38:03or die?
- 38:04Speaker 1: And he says, to respect him. I can't face him.
- 38:07Speaker 3: To tell him he would die, So tell him you
- 38:08will leave. But Hazael, between me and you, as a prophet,
- 38:12that man will not recover.
- 38:14Speaker 1: You will die.
- 38:14Speaker 3: And the prophet put down his face and began to cry.
- 38:18What made the prophet cry?
- 38:20Speaker 1: Next verse? Verse twelve? Are you ready one to read? Again?
- 38:27Speaker 3: And Hazael said, why we paid, my lord? And he answered,
- 38:33because I know the evil that thou will do onto.
- 38:36Speaker 1: The children of Israel. There are strong holds. Will you
- 38:40set on fire their young men? Will you slay with
- 38:44the sword? Thou will? That's their children? And RePOP their
- 38:48women who have children?
- 38:49Speaker 3: Hold on, who was he talking to an innocent sincere
- 38:55man or pedient man send by the king. And he came,
- 38:59and the I forget what you are saying. Now, I've
- 39:02seen the version of you that will be evil. You
- 39:04will hear women who.
- 39:05Speaker 1: Have children in your stomach.
- 39:09Speaker 3: You would have looked at Hazael and said, Hazael, you
- 39:12are a good.
- 39:13Speaker 1: Man for the king to send you, and you can
- 39:16come and be obedient. The heart of man is desperately wicked.
- 39:23Speaker 3: Next verse thirteen, and Haael said, but what is thy
- 39:30servanted dog?
- 39:33Speaker 1: He's fighting the prophecy now that he should do this
- 39:36great thing.
- 39:38Speaker 3: And Elisha said, the Lord has shown me that you
- 39:41will be king of Assyria.
- 39:45Speaker 1: Hasiel.
- 39:46Speaker 3: You look like a sincere man now, and you are
- 39:49even sympathetic. I just described something you will be doing
- 39:52a few years later, and you said, God forbid. God
- 39:56has shown me that when you become a king, something
- 40:00that is hiding in your heart now that you do
- 40:02not even know, will be revealed. If someone following my
- 40:07story go to Second King's thirteen from verse twenty two
- 40:12to twenty four. For the sake of time, Second King's
- 40:15that teen, let's say the manifestation of that prophetic word. Remember,
- 40:20Hazael refused and said no, no, no, no, no, no no,
- 40:23this cannot be. The Bible says, but Hazael, king of Syria,
- 40:30or press Israel in the days of jehojahs the same
- 40:36Hasael that year, said God. The prophet told him that
- 40:40you look like a sincere man now, but the way
- 40:44you are going.
- 40:44Speaker 1: Except God's step sin in the future, you will be
- 40:48a wicked man. Hazael said no.
- 40:50Speaker 3: Now, the Bible is saying that Isael or pressed Israel
- 40:54the same way the prophet said. And the Lord was
- 40:58gracious onto them and had compassion on them, and had
- 41:02respect onto them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac
- 41:06and Jacob, and would not destroy them.
- 41:08Speaker 1: Neither can see them from his presence.
- 41:11Speaker 3: As yet the last verse, he says, So Asrael, king
- 41:16of Syria, died, how did God have messy.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Upon them by killing has Ael?
- 41:23Speaker 3: Can you imagine that that he was so wicked God
- 41:27had to kill him so that his people will find rest?
- 41:31Speaker 1: Look up place.
- 41:33Speaker 3: If I told you today respectfully speaking, or if God
- 41:37told you today, man of God, you are a motherer,
- 41:41You say, God forbid me.
- 41:43Speaker 1: I have never held a knife.
- 41:45Speaker 3: I am innocent. God, Just give me a church with
- 41:48ten thousand people. I am a man of integrity, and
- 41:51God says, go on first. There is guile in your heart.
- 41:56You usually will not agree. Can I tell you this,
- 42:00I have learned something as a principle. Every time you
- 42:05want to know the true report of who you are
- 42:07and how your future will be.
- 42:09Speaker 1: If God does not help you, go to his presence
- 42:12and tell.
- 42:13Speaker 3: Him, Lord, reveal onto me what are the tendencies in
- 42:17my heart? There are many people when they were staying
- 42:20in rented apartments, they will not miss church. They will
- 42:24not miss anything prayer and fasting there there, and you
- 42:28would call them committed brothers, even considering making them past
- 42:33us until they got a job. There are people who
- 42:38their lack of being employed can deceive them into thinking
- 42:41they are spiritual themselves. It's just that they have a
- 42:44lot of time and nothing else to do. So meanwhile,
- 42:48while they are waiting for a blessing, they seem to
- 42:51be committed. But let a job come, let marriage come,
- 42:56let children come, let listing come. Can I tell you
- 43:00you know those who love God not just when they're idol,
- 43:03when they have what cannot to pie them, and they
- 43:05still keep His place. They deserve your respect. If someone learning. Yeah,
- 43:16the HASI never knew, dear has He never knew that
- 43:22there was that lost in him to the point that
- 43:25he could inherit leprosy.
- 43:28Speaker 1: He didn't know that.
- 43:31Speaker 3: You would call the Hazy a faithful servant, you would
- 43:34call him a potential prophet until he saw gifts in
- 43:38the House of Nama, after they gave gifts, after they
- 43:43gave all those things, and he said no, no, no,
- 43:45carry your things. The man said, no, we can't leave
- 43:47this thing like that. Do you know why I'm teaching
- 43:49you what I'm teaching you, my dear people, Many people
- 43:53have started well but failed God on the way because
- 43:57they jumped the class of the spirit, the class of broken.
- 44:01They didn't miss the class of power. They didn't miss
- 44:05the class of revelation. They didn't miss the class of leadership,
- 44:09they didn't miss.
- 44:10Speaker 1: The class of influence. But they missed the class of brokenness.
- 44:15Speaker 3: And they're carrying over in shame today because they did
- 44:19not allow him to break their hearts. As at the
- 44:22time they were seeking God and rolling on the ground,
- 44:25they had only a bike, and they said, Lord, there
- 44:27is nothing I would not give you. And God said,
- 44:29let us see the first one million that entered their hands.
- 44:33God said, gave it, and I mean give it, give
- 44:35it away. He demanded that they will give it, and
- 44:38they cost him.
- 44:38Speaker 1: I rebuked that voice. It can be God.
- 44:42Speaker 3: Where asking his destiny. He was supposed to be a
- 44:45kingdom Biloonnare. It was only a test to see what
- 44:48was in his heart.
- 44:57Speaker 1: The young boy.
- 44:58Speaker 3: They did it in that little obedient shepherd boy was
- 45:02an arrogant king. Was a murderer only in one person,
- 45:08but you would never see it at that point. There
- 45:14are people today who.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Have failed God in ministry and in business.
- 45:19Speaker 3: If you saw Judas when Jesus was selecting the disciples,
- 45:23do you know what it meant for Judas to qualify
- 45:26to be Jesus's treasurer. Jesus would not give a weak person.
- 45:30He was a competent man. There is no record that
- 45:34he was careless with keeping the finances. He was only
- 45:37a thief. But the thief did not show up immediately.
- 45:42The thief showed up three years later.
- 45:45Speaker 1: So you have come for this conference. And while you
- 45:47are sitting down and saying, Lord, give me the power
- 45:50to go to the nations, God is saying, listen, if
- 45:54I do not break you and walk on you.
- 45:56Speaker 3: That day fame comes upon this your life. You will
- 46:01become a casualty and a lesson to the body of Christ.
- 46:05You will become a discouragement to christendom.
- 46:10Speaker 1: Are we together now? Brokenness a person no man is perfect.
- 46:21I agree, But let me tell you this.
- 46:25Speaker 3: Until God breaks you, you come as you are, but
- 46:29you are never used as you are. You come as
- 46:33you are, and then you go to the school of
- 46:35the Spirit. In the school of the Spirit, it is
- 46:38not annointing that is given to you. You begin a journey,
- 46:42a journey of pulling, a journey of curtain away the flesh.
- 46:48Let me tell you this, This is about.
- 46:50Speaker 1: The hardest journey in a Christian's life.
- 46:54Speaker 3: You may not like what I'm telling you, What if
- 46:56it is revival and power you want. I'm sure some
- 47:00of you seen people on that you're annointing.
- 47:02Speaker 1: Now all you think it takes to produce his results
- 47:06is that an annointed person lay hand on you and
- 47:08you drop offering on his leg. You are joking. You
- 47:11are joking again. Think again. You can receive impartition, you
- 47:16can't receive a track record him.
- 47:26Speaker 3: Watch this now, this man is having an encounter with
- 47:31God and the first thing God does is to touch
- 47:35the strongest part of his body, that which makes for
- 47:39his support.
- 47:40Speaker 1: Do you know what that means?
- 47:42Speaker 3: God's idea of blessing a man is bringing that man
- 47:46to a realization that except I help you, you cannot
- 47:49stand on your own.
- 47:50Speaker 1: The Bible says that is how God blesses man in
- 47:53the kingdom.
- 47:54Speaker 3: What kind of strange blessing is that, Jacob, you seem
- 47:58to stand.
- 47:59Speaker 1: With that my assistance.
- 48:01Speaker 3: I will touch you so that forever you will need
- 48:04a staff as a reminder that if I do not
- 48:07help you, you do not have the ability to stand
- 48:10and have stature and balance.
- 48:12Speaker 1: And the Bible calls it a blessing.
- 48:17Speaker 3: That when God blesses you in the Kingdom, it's not
- 48:20always about giving you things. God blesses you in the
- 48:24Kingdom by bringing you to a state where you will
- 48:27never depend on your strength outside of His assistance. It's
- 48:31called brokenness that when men clap for you and say,
- 48:34man of God, Joshua, Selman, look at what God is doing.
- 48:37Speaker 1: You remember the tide that has been touched.
- 48:41Speaker 3: That is because I am standing on this task thyrod
- 48:44and thy staff, I have mastered the act of depending
- 48:47on the spirits that my result is not just derived
- 48:51from my intelligence, is derived from my perpetual dependence.
- 48:56Speaker 1: He calls it a blessing. Please look up. The character
- 49:01of brokenness is that it leaves that.
- 49:04Speaker 3: Believer in a state where you are perpetually inadequate, and
- 49:10that the people who look at you, they know every
- 49:13time they see you that this results are not a
- 49:17total expression of your ability, that there is an invisible
- 49:21hand behind you that is producing these results.
- 49:25Speaker 1: Those who will.
- 49:25Speaker 3: Host the move of God in this end time, those
- 49:29who will command power in ministry, those who God will
- 49:33trust with wealth over nations. Beloved people, hear me. They
- 49:37are not just men who pray and first. They are
- 49:40not just men who's taught this scripture. There are people
- 49:43who will allow the Lord to take away that which
- 49:47represents their highest point of strength, and he becomes that strength.
- 49:58Speaker 1: Do you know what happens to you?
- 50:00Speaker 3: You will see results that you cannot fully account for.
- 50:04You will know that there are gaps in this equation.
- 50:08When men clap for you, you say, hold.
- 50:10Speaker 1: On, hold on, hold on, You will be on fair
- 50:12to give.
- 50:12Speaker 3: Me all the credits I can tell you, this is
- 50:15how far I came as to who fill this other gap.
- 50:18There is an invisible hand. There are people here who
- 50:24are seated in this place. You may be ordinary, but
- 50:27because you are subscribing to brokenness, God will begin to
- 50:32do things through you that in a few years, when
- 50:34we come to a number and see the fire of
- 50:37revival and the points the person who is beheading that move,
- 50:40you will not look like it.
- 50:42Speaker 1: People say I thought I would meet one great man, and.
- 50:45Speaker 3: You will tell them there is this treasure in ethan
- 50:47vessels that the excellency.
- 50:49Speaker 1: Of power may be of God. Can I be sincere
- 50:53with you?
- 50:54Speaker 3: You always know broken vessels because they don't adopt to
- 50:58their results.
- 51:00Speaker 1: When you look at them, you will know they don't
- 51:03add up to the results.
- 51:05Speaker 3: My life is a testimony when you see the things
- 51:09that God does in and through our lives. Beloved people,
- 51:13you can look at us and see the limitations that
- 51:15we have, yet you can see the mighty power of
- 51:18God at work in our lives. It is the reason
- 51:23why when the nations clap for us, we become like
- 51:26aushus and will let them know that we are not
- 51:28ashamed to declare His praises to the nations. Because I
- 51:32was nothing when He found me. You see when you
- 51:35are broken. No matter how high you right, you will
- 51:37still remember. Those who forget are not broken. Many of
- 51:43you here are focusing in the school of power, and
- 51:46that is important. All you want is the power of
- 51:49the Holy Spirit to do mighty things. Some of you
- 51:53are focusing in the school of wisdom. You just want
- 51:56revelation and access to depths and mysteries. In the kingdom
- 52:00is profitable, but in order of priority, when you want
- 52:04to do business with God, your first part.
- 52:07Speaker 1: Of call is death brokenness.
- 52:16Speaker 3: That when they look at you, you would have gotten
- 52:19to a rem called Galatians to.
- 52:21Speaker 1: Twenty, I have been crucified with Christ. Nevertheless I leave,
- 52:28Yet not I look at me.
- 52:31Speaker 3: Do you know.
- 52:33Speaker 1: If you are not fully broken?
- 52:36Speaker 3: The side effects of doing business with God without being broken.
- 52:42Speaker 1: Is the excessis that we now see in our world, from.
- 52:46Speaker 3: Pride to lost to all of these attributes this sight,
- 52:51these are luggages that going is. All you press towards
- 52:54is power and revelation and importation.
- 52:58Speaker 1: And you ignore broken.
- 53:00Speaker 3: You will carry with your results luggages that will counsel
- 53:04out everything you have done.
- 53:07Speaker 1: So you find great people.
- 53:09Speaker 3: After many years of rising, you are getting blessed from
- 53:14your lives.
- 53:15Speaker 1: But they are full of pride and full of themselves.
- 53:19I tell you what is wrong. The diagnosis is they
- 53:22jump that class of brokenness.
- 53:25Speaker 3: I forgot to tell you that brokenness does not happen
- 53:28only once. Brokenness happens for every season. You are entering
- 53:35a new level in the spirit. So just because God
- 53:39dealt with you yesterday, the rem that you enjoyed yesterday,
- 53:44the brokenness that came with this was sufficient.
- 53:46Speaker 1: But now you are rising higher, there will be a
- 53:49greater level of trust from God. He brings you to
- 53:59a point in your life where you love him.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Modern ministry where you love him, modern business where you
- 54:07love him more than science, and wonders where you desire him,
- 54:11modern fame, where you desire him more than any one.
- 54:16Speaker 1: Of these things.
- 54:18Speaker 3: Listen, if there is anything you have seen in the
- 54:22life of this man that stands before you that is
- 54:26worth clapping for, I submit to you, by the grace
- 54:30of God, that it is not just because I am the.
- 54:34Speaker 1: One who praised the most, or.
- 54:36Speaker 3: Fasts the most, or study scripture the most, but it.
- 54:41Speaker 1: Is the messy that accompanies brokenness.
- 54:45Speaker 3: Your life will be a wonder and a sign first
- 54:49to you and to all around you.
- 54:51Speaker 1: If you subscribe to brokenness, brokenness is painful. Brokenness will
- 54:59cost you your ego. It will be a season where
- 55:02you listen. When you are in a season of brokenness,
- 55:05you will live in the silence of God.
- 55:07Speaker 3: Do you know what means to live in the silence
- 55:08of God? Where God does not speak. As a man
- 55:13of God, you can be in that season. Your life
- 55:16is full of problems, yet you are solving that of others.
- 55:19And you will not hear a prophetic word for yourself.
- 55:22But as soon as someone enters your office that gifts
- 55:25this operation, now you bless him and he goes and say,
- 55:28what God, what about me?
- 55:29Speaker 1: And Heaven is silent. Let's take it down. We're going
- 55:36to pray. If you came tonight.
- 55:40Speaker 3: Because you desire God to use you, then I want
- 55:46you to know.
- 55:48Speaker 1: That the prist God is introducing to us tonight is brokenness.
- 55:54Speaker 3: I have cried or working with God. Let me tell
- 55:57you the truth. If anybody tells you working with God
- 56:00is just full of laughter.
- 56:01Speaker 1: You're joking. It's not the God of the Bible. You
- 56:03will cry many times.
- 56:05Speaker 3: There are times you will not understand God when you say,
- 56:08explain it to me, He will say, follow me.
- 56:10Speaker 1: You will understand five years later. Trust me enough to
- 56:14follow me. There are some of you right now. You
- 56:18don't even know the name of what you are doing
- 56:20with God. God. I want to get a job, he says,
- 56:24Stay here, God. My colleagues have gone ahead of me.
- 56:27He says, stay here, God. What is the name of
- 56:31what we are doing? He says, stay here. Have you
- 56:34done the seven days? First thing? Yes? Are twenty one days? More? Lord?
- 56:38What are we doing? Am I going to be a
- 56:39man of God? You're praying?
- 56:42Speaker 3: What you will become is not as important as who
- 56:44is working with you. Just pray, and you may not
- 56:48even know what God is doing.
- 56:49Speaker 1: Let me tell you this.
- 56:50Speaker 3: If you don't understand these seasons, your colleagues will come
- 56:54and push you and say you.
- 56:55Speaker 1: Are wasting away. You will feel stupid for trusting him.
- 57:04Let's take a look for me.
- 57:06Speaker 3: There's a song that is boiling in my spirit, and
- 57:08I want to scare me to say, before I started ministry,
- 57:12we're going to pray now I remember when God will
- 57:17hide me in a corner. My dear people, listen to me.
- 57:21We're dealing with matters that make for the move of God.
- 57:24I will hide in corners, and several men of God
- 57:27will come and meet me and say, you are wasting
- 57:29away at this your capacity in ministry. You should be
- 57:33a pastor somewhere. And I tell them God, that's not
- 57:35giving me any direction. He's just asked me to sit
- 57:38down here and to pray.
- 57:41Speaker 1: I submit to you with every sense of respect and regard.
- 57:44Speaker 3: Many of those people today, some of them are not
- 57:47even in ministry again.
- 57:49Speaker 1: The horrid seasons.
- 57:52Speaker 3: When you are in that season of brokenness, many times
- 57:55you will cry and say God, where are we going?
- 57:58Speaker 1: And it will tell you stay. Others will move ahead
- 58:02of you, and you will look like a fool.
- 58:05Speaker 3: They will look at you and say, look at how
- 58:07you're wasting your life. And you will say, God, what
- 58:09should I do? And you will say, still stay. What
- 58:12can I tell you when that season comes one end?
- 58:17Speaker 1: In one day, my God. I don't know about your God,
- 58:21but in one day, God will leave to like a
- 58:24trophy that he has made and announce you to the nations.
- 58:28Speaker 3: And you hear people say I used to know this person.
- 58:36God brought me to a point where I had known
- 58:39life of my own again. He literally was my everything.
- 58:44He still is I stand before you, believe us, and
- 58:48I submit to you that nothing and no one can
- 58:52take his place in my life.
- 58:54Speaker 1: I love him more than fame. I love him more
- 58:57than preaching.
- 58:59Speaker 3: I would give up ministry eight thousand times to maintain
- 59:03my relationship with him. I love him more than Greek
- 59:06and Hebrew. I love him more than Nyirah and Copple.
- 59:11I love him more than the fame and the obsession
- 59:14for ministry. I will close down the ministry he has
- 59:18given me a thousand times with no apology, to maintain
- 59:23my relationship with him. This is what He has become
- 59:26for me. Why has God godad us tonight to reveal
- 59:31to us that number one, his movie is coming. Whether
- 59:35we are ready or not, there will be such an
- 59:37outpouring and the move of God's spirit even across an
- 59:41ambrastag Those who have gone ahead of you have left prophecies.
- 59:47It has not happened, but it will happen. But number two,
- 59:50he's telling you that if you want to become part
- 59:52of his program, you can pray on first full of
- 59:57pride and hannal in yourself. You will be surprised is
- 1:00:00that that move will come and edge you out more
- 1:00:03than spiritual activities. God is looking for people who are broken.
- 1:00:09What then, is our prayer tonight. I will only give
- 1:00:12us two prayer points. Prayer point number one.
- 1:00:16Speaker 1: Father, I lay it all down again. So he said
- 1:00:27that your friend help me find the way. Will you
- 1:00:38bring me back to you your road life? What your word?
- 1:00:59Man need?
- 1:01:05Speaker 3: Cry your heart to him, Say Lord, I release everything.
- 1:01:10Just two three minutes and we're gone. Let it be
- 1:01:13from the depth of your heart. Lord, I surrender everything
- 1:01:20to you. Take away the pride, take away the flesh,
- 1:01:25everything that has taken your place in my life. Let
- 1:01:29him give away. Right now, someone is praying. You came
- 1:01:34for this conference, and God is opening your eyes to
- 1:01:38see you may be a man of God, you may
- 1:01:45be a business man, but he's calling on you. God
- 1:01:49needs more than your offering. God needs more than your
- 1:01:53prayer life. God needs more than your fasting. God needs
- 1:01:57more than your singing. God needs more more than your
- 1:02:00Bible study. He sees all of you in its anxiety.
- 1:02:11Last prayer point, Father, I am available. I am available.
- 1:02:17Someone cried that prayer from the depth of your heart.
- 1:02:20Whatever it takes to be part of what you are
- 1:02:24doing in this season, I am available, Go ahead and pray.
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: Let it be from the depth of your heart. I
- 1:02:33am available. Ahead and pray for some few more minutes.
- 1:03:03Go ahead and praying songs for some few more minutes.
- 1:03:09They least go for us to take him
