  Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.
• 0:06
  Make sure to stay with us till the end, where
• 0:09
  we'll share some great resources to deepen your
• 0:12
  faith. Now, let's dive into this week's sermon.
• 0:20
  Hope we've been able to have some time to rest.
• 0:24
  You know, a time is coming where we will have
• 0:27
  it on a calm ground. No going home. You'll come
• 0:32
  with your back and your things. You know, that's
• 0:37
  where everybody will be. You just go home and
• 0:40
  rest two minutes and come back. We'll not be
• 0:44
  closing 5 p .m. We'll be closing like 9 p .m.
• 0:48
  or 10 p .m. You know, so that all of us will
• 0:52
  enjoy what God is doing. Praise God. Yes. So
• 0:59
  we appreciate God for the opportunity to be here
• 1:01
  and then to continue. Amen. Yes, so I believe
• 1:05
  revelational knowledge has come to us. Praise
• 1:09
  God. Hallelujah. We walk in revelational knowledge
• 1:13
  because it's our reality. Amen. Praise God. The
• 1:16
  eyes of our understanding has been flooded and
• 1:20
  it will continue to be flooded with light. Praise
• 1:22
  God. And we know who we are in Christ Jesus more.
• 1:26
  And we know the hope of our calling in Christ
• 1:28
  Jesus. Praise God. Hallelujah. We know what to
• 1:32
  do regarding the work of faith. Amen. When I
• 1:35
  say work of faith, I mean W -O -R -K. The work
• 1:37
  of ministry. Praise God. We know how we ought
• 1:40
  to conduct ourselves in the things of the supernatural.
• 1:43
  Praise God. One of the words I received this
• 1:46
  morning for every one of us is that let's desire
• 1:49
  to operate more in the supernatural. Let's desire
• 1:53
  more, desire more, desire more, desire more,
• 1:56
  desire more, desire more. Let me just put it
• 1:59
  with an example, just like an example in a way,
• 2:03
  you know, in the natural, you know, it's not
• 2:08
  everybody that has desire to be wealthy. You
• 2:11
  know, some people don't desire to be wealthy.
• 2:13
  Some people just desire to just be just normal.
• 2:16
  They don't desire to be on the top list, right?
• 2:19
  But I tell you, nobody desires to be poor. Nobody,
• 2:23
  nobody desires. Even Satan mimics wealth, right?
• 2:28
  Nobody desires to be poor, right? Yes, so everybody
• 2:33
  desires to have a normal life where you eat,
• 2:35
  you drink, you live, you move around, and then
• 2:39
  your needs are met. So that's constant desire
• 2:43
  to ensure that your account has some small currency
• 2:48
  inside, right? Always put us on the move to work.
• 2:55
  So you're either into entrepreneurship or you're
• 2:57
  working for someone and you're being paid. Right?
• 3:01
  Yeah, so that desire is there to just leave your
• 3:04
  bed even when you don't feel like it. And then
• 3:07
  you're up there in the lecture room 7 a .m. You
• 3:10
  know, when you're supposed to be resting, you
• 3:12
  wake up 2 a .m. Till 2 a .m. you're preparing
• 3:14
  notes. Just so that someone's life can be balanced.
• 3:22
  Likewise, when it comes to the things of the
• 3:24
  spirit, desire. Amen. Praise God. Desire, desire,
• 3:27
  desire. Your desire should never grow cold. Your
• 3:32
  desire should always be hot on fire. Praise God.
• 3:35
  Your desire should always be what? Hot on fire.
• 3:38
  Amen. Praise God. Yes. So yesterday we stopped
• 3:44
  at the definition of tongues. Praise God. So,
• 3:49
  we've been discussing about utterance gifts.
• 3:52
  And we say utterance gifts are gifts that do
• 3:54
  what? That say something in or by the Spirit.
• 4:00
  Praise God. Hallelujah. Yes. So, and then in
• 4:04
  utterance gifts, we have three. What and what?
• 4:06
  We have tongues. Interpretation of tongues and
• 4:10
  what? Prophecy. Amen. Hallelujah. Yes. So, we
• 4:14
  laid some foundation. Even though it's not a
• 4:17
  foundation, but we build on what others have
• 4:20
  already laid. Amen? Yeah, so we'll continue from
• 4:23
  where we stopped. Praise God. Yeah, so we stopped
• 4:27
  at a definition, right, of tongues. And we say,
• 4:31
  if you check your notes, we use the word, the
• 4:35
  Greek word for tongue is the word what? Glosa
• 4:38
  or lalia, right? Yeah, so here in my notes, I
• 4:41
  wrote glosa lalia. Just like the word. Amen?
• 4:45
  Yeah, so glossa or lalia, which refers to a dialect.
• 4:49
  Even though when you check language, right, in
• 4:52
  the Greek word is dialectos. Right? You see dialectos.
• 4:56
  So in speaking, you see a dialect slash language
• 5:00
  in speaking, talking or uttering words. Amen?
• 5:05
  Yeah, so tongue in itself is glossa. Right? Tongue
• 5:12
  in itself is what? Glossa. Lalia, the art of
• 5:16
  speaking. Dialectos is language, intelligent
• 5:19
  communication, so that people can understand
• 5:22
  what you're saying. So what you're hearing me,
• 5:25
  why you're hearing me and you're understanding
• 5:27
  what I'm saying, right, is because I'm speaking
• 5:30
  with an intelligent words that your mind and
• 5:35
  your hearing, your perception can relate to,
• 5:38
  right? Yeah, so I'm speaking English language.
• 5:42
  That's what dialectos is. D -I -A -K -L -E -T
• 5:47
  -O -S. Right? Yeah, so that is why you're understanding
• 5:55
  what I'm saying. Praise God. Yeah, so we say
• 5:58
  tongues, right? Hence, it's a primary supernatural
• 6:02
  ability in the spirit of the believer. Praise
• 6:07
  God. Yeah, so tongues is where? In the spirit
• 6:10
  of the believer. We've learned that Tongues is
• 6:13
  a diversity of the spirit in the believer. Amen.
• 6:17
  Hallelujah. So what we mean yesterday, we said
• 6:20
  diuresis, right? We have a singular thing and
• 6:23
  then from it, we have separations, right? We
• 6:27
  have divisions. And then we now taught yesterday
• 6:30
  contextually from 1 Corinthians, you know, 12
• 6:34
  verse 7, right? And what did we learn there?
• 6:37
  We learned that the unveiling of the spirit in
• 6:41
  the believer, right? When the spirit is made
• 6:44
  bare, this and much more are the things we see
• 6:47
  that are made manifest through the believer.
• 6:49
  Praise God. So we said in verse 8, 9, and 10,
• 6:54
  to one is giving this and that. To another is
• 6:59
  giving this, this, this. And we're able to now,
• 7:02
  you know, discuss it and then check the matter.
• 7:06
  And we came to a conclusion. Right? That when
• 7:10
  the scripture said to one, it does not mean he's
• 7:12
  talking about divisions to individuals. Praise
• 7:16
  God. So how did we know that from the scriptures?
• 7:20
  How did we come by that conclusion? All of us,
• 7:24
  we saw it in the scripture. Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 7:29
  So, verse 8, 9, and 10. was a demonstrative pronoun,
• 7:35
  right? To be able to emphasize more about verse
• 7:39
  7. Hallelujah. Praise God. So, the actor in verse
• 7:43
  7 is the Holy Ghost. Amen? The main subject in
• 7:47
  verse 7 is what? Is the Holy Ghost. So, out of
• 7:52
  the Holy Ghost, now we see givings to the believer.
• 7:58
  Praise God. So the Holy Spirit is the gift himself.
• 8:02
  Amen. And so when that gift is open, then we
• 8:06
  begin to see word of wisdom. Then we begin to
• 8:09
  see word of knowledge. Then we begin to see the
• 8:11
  prophetic. Then we begin to see tongues and interpretation
• 8:13
  of tongues. We see healings. We see walking of
• 8:16
  miracles and much more. Praise God. Was that
• 8:20
  clear yesterday? Was it clear yesterday? So,
• 8:24
  you know. that will actually align with all that
• 8:26
  we've been learning that the believer has received
• 8:29
  everything within him. Praise God. So because
• 8:32
  if we say that it's in portions, then that will
• 8:36
  contradict all that we've been learning. So big
• 8:39
  question will be, when will I have my own other
• 8:42
  portion? Do I need to fast and pray for me to
• 8:46
  now have the prophetic? Do I need to, you know,
• 8:49
  some people are still waiting for that day where
• 8:51
  one atmosphere will just come upon them and then
• 8:55
  they will begin to pray in tongues. You know,
• 8:58
  some people are waiting for, he said, why is
• 9:00
  it that you have not prayed in tongues so far?
• 9:01
  He said, I'm waiting for that day. Because I
• 9:04
  know it's not yet my day. Oh, for the believer,
• 9:08
  it's always your day. Hallelujah. Yes, it's always
• 9:11
  our day. It's always our day. Always, always,
• 9:15
  always. We don't wait upon another day to come.
• 9:18
  Amen? Praise God. Why? Because we have a knowing
• 9:23
  that we have received of the Spirit of God all
• 9:27
  things. Praise God. And those things are not
• 9:30
  in the air. They are within our spirit man. Amen?
• 9:33
  And out of them, we now see their manifestation.
• 9:36
  We see their operation. Praise God. So now, having
• 9:40
  said that, right? Let's read Mark chapter 16
• 9:44
  again, verse 17. Mark chapter 16, verse 17. Please,
• 9:49
  don't show this. Thank you. I love you. Thank
• 9:55
  you. Everybody open your Bible. Mark chapter
• 9:58
  16. Verse 17, everybody. Verse 17. He said, and
• 10:09
  these signs will do what? Shall follow them that
• 10:12
  believe. Hallelujah. And we say, who are the
• 10:16
  day? The believers, right? Yes. So the believers
• 10:21
  and Pastor Fred said, even the one that got saved
• 10:24
  now, praise God, not the one that will get saved.
• 10:27
  And then we now say, let her on. Your spirit
• 10:30
  will come. Let her on. Your gifts will, you know,
• 10:33
  when you come into Christ, you know, you have
• 10:35
  to take some time. You know how many years I've
• 10:38
  been in this faith? I've been here for 25 years.
• 10:40
  And my own king, when I clock 20. My heavens
• 10:46
  opened. In fact, they used the word breakthrough.
• 10:48
  My breakthrough opened when I was at 20. That
• 10:53
  was when I began to speak in new tongues. That
• 10:56
  was when I began to cast out devils. That was
• 10:59
  when I took up serpents. That was when I drank
• 11:03
  deadly things that never hurt me. That was when
• 11:06
  I laid hands on the sick and they got recovered.
• 11:09
  At 20 years exactly, not one day extra or one
• 11:13
  day lesser. You see, the way of God is mysterious.
• 11:17
  If mine took 20, yours might be 35. No. Praise
• 11:23
  God. The day you got saved, that day, let me
• 11:28
  say it strongly, the day you got saved, that
• 11:31
  day, you have the ability in you to lay hands
• 11:34
  on the sick and the sick gets healed. Hallelujah.
• 11:37
  The day you get saved, that day in you, you have
• 11:40
  the ability to speak with new tongues. Praise
• 11:42
  God. The day you got saved, that day you can
• 11:46
  cast out devils. That day, on the spur of the
• 11:48
  moment. Let me not use the word day so that you
• 11:51
  not think it is morning you got saved and then
• 11:54
  night, then the thing is happening. Let me put
• 11:57
  it this way so that it will be a current reality.
• 12:00
  At the position where you got saved, as you are
• 12:03
  standing there or you are seated there, you can
• 12:06
  cast out the devil. Praise God. Because the spirit
• 12:10
  of God. It's within you. Amen. So now, he said
• 12:14
  they cast out devils. They shall speak with what?
• 12:18
  With new what? With new tongues. Amen. So let's
• 12:22
  look at Genesis 11 .1. Genesis 11 .1, very first,
• 12:26
  where it was first mentioned, where tongues was
• 12:29
  first mentioned. Genesis 11 .1. And we'll see
• 12:32
  that we understand how it's related to what we
• 12:37
  are discussing this morning. Genesis 11 verse
• 12:40
  1. And the whole earth was of one what? One language.
• 12:45
  Amen. The whole earth was of what? One language.
• 12:50
  Right? And one speech. And it came to pass as
• 12:53
  they journeyed from the east that they found
• 12:55
  a plain in what? In the land of Shinar and they
• 13:01
  dwelled there three. And they said to another,
• 13:03
  go let us make brick. and burned them thoroughly,
• 13:07
  and they had brick for stone, and slime had they
• 13:10
  for mortar. And they said, Go, let us build us
• 13:15
  a city and a tower, whose top may reach up unto
• 13:18
  heaven, and let us make us a name, lest we be
• 13:21
  scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
• 13:23
  And the Lord came down to see the city and the
• 13:25
  tower, with the children of men built it. Six.
• 13:28
  And the Lord said, Behold, the people is one,
• 13:30
  and they all have what? What's your Bible say?
• 13:35
  And they all have what? One language. So Bible
• 13:38
  underline the word language, right? And this
• 13:42
  they begin to do and now nothing will be restrained
• 13:45
  from them which they have what? Imagine. So out
• 13:49
  of their imagination, they came out with this
• 13:51
  because they have one what? Language. Seven.
• 13:54
  Go let us go down and there confound their what?
• 13:59
  Language that they may not what? Understand.
• 14:03
  So the first time we are seeing language is being
• 14:06
  spoken here is relating to understanding. Amen?
• 14:11
  Yes, so please write it somewhere. Everywhere
• 14:14
  I see language, language equals to understanding.
• 14:20
  Language equals to understanding. You can add
• 14:24
  another equals to again. Edification. Language
• 14:32
  equals to understanding. You can add another
• 14:34
  equal today as what? Edification. You know why
• 14:38
  I asked us to do that. Amen. So the word language
• 14:42
  in that place, the Hebrew word for that word
• 14:45
  language is Sapa. It's not Sapa. S -A -P -A.
• 14:54
  You know, I was going through it. I said, some
• 14:57
  people say Sapa. No, no, no. It's not Sapa. Amen.
• 15:01
  S -A what? P -A. Language. The Hebrew word for
• 15:05
  language from the first time it's mentioned here
• 15:07
  is what? Sapa. S -A what? P -A. Praise God. And
• 15:23
  the word speech. You see it says, verse 1 says,
• 15:26
  and the whole ad was of one language. And of
• 15:30
  one what? Speech. So you see, in language, there
• 15:33
  is what? There is speech. There is speaking.
• 15:36
  Amen. Because once there is no speaking, understanding
• 15:40
  will not be there. Praise God. So that word speech
• 15:45
  there. Amen. Is Daba. Daba, which means a mode
• 15:51
  of communication. Daba is D -A -B -A -R. So we
• 15:56
  have the word language as supper, right? And
• 16:02
  then we have what? Speech, daba, which implies
• 16:06
  what? A mode of communication. Praise God. So
• 16:11
  we saw the whole earth had a mode of what? Communication.
• 16:15
  Praise God. They had a mode of what? Communication.
• 16:19
  There was a manner in which words were uttered.
• 16:24
  So the key issue about language always is understanding.
• 16:29
  Amen? Yeah, so every time I come into this place,
• 16:32
  the only way, if I come here now, I start to
• 16:34
  speak my dialect, right, from my state. Ah, how
• 16:38
  many people can understand now? Okay. Maybe he
• 16:47
  knows one or two things from the past. I don't
• 16:50
  know whether he can really, you know. When I
• 16:54
  come here, for example, I say, who can say what
• 17:00
  I just said now? Oh, I say, what am I saying?
• 17:13
  You sense of me. Oh, you sense of it. How about
• 17:27
  unedo dot? Uh -uh. Uh -uh. Uh -huh. So you see,
• 17:35
  a mode of what? Communication. No understanding.
• 17:41
  But you see, when people start communicating,
• 17:44
  right, a mode of communication that is unique
• 17:47
  to them, what do you expect that will prevail
• 17:49
  in this understanding? Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 17:53
  Hallelujah. So now, let's see 2 Kings 18, 26.
• 18:00
  And then let's see again another word language.
• 18:03
  You realize that everywhere you see language,
• 18:05
  you'll see what? Understanding. Amen. Everywhere
• 18:08
  you see language, you'll see what? Understanding.
• 18:11
  2 Kings 18, 26. Then said Eliakim, the son of
• 18:18
  Hilkiah and Shepna and Joah and Rapshaka, speak,
• 18:22
  I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian, in
• 18:26
  the Syrian language, for we understand it and
• 18:32
  talk not with us in what? In the Jews language,
• 18:36
  in the ears of the people that are what? That
• 18:38
  are on the wall. They want to enter a secret
• 18:41
  mood. Amen. Speak to us in Syrian language that
• 18:47
  we may what? Understand. We may understand. Esther
• 18:53
  1 .22. Esther 1 .22. Somebody should read for
• 19:28
  us very fast. Can you see? He sent the script
• 19:48
  to what? To every empire in what? In their own
• 19:55
  language. And what? And scripts. So if there
• 19:59
  was anybody that was speaking a different language,
• 20:01
  right? The scripts was translated in their language,
• 20:06
  right? So that they could do what? They could
• 20:08
  understand. Praise God. Amen? So one more and
• 20:12
  then we move on. Psalms 114 verse 1. Psalms 114
• 20:18
  verse 1. Psalms 114 verse 1. Are we all here?
• 20:25
  When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob,
• 20:29
  a what? From a people of what? Of strange what?
• 20:36
  Language. A strange language. When Israel went
• 20:43
  out of Egypt, the house of what? Jacob. A people
• 20:49
  of what? Strange language. They had a unique
• 20:51
  language that is different from the societal
• 20:53
  language. Amen. Praise God. Then add this as
• 20:57
  extra Isaiah 36, 13, and then you can be able
• 21:00
  to now put it as an extra reference. I believe
• 21:05
  people online, they are following us carefully
• 21:06
  as we go through the scripture. Yes, so the main
• 21:09
  discourse at the moment is that what? Language
• 21:12
  connects what? Understanding. Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 21:17
  So now, we're going to look at very fast what
• 21:20
  happened because We see in Mark chapter 16. Let's
• 21:23
  go to Mark chapter 16 again. Don't get tired
• 21:25
  of going back there because we're going to stay
• 21:27
  there. Mark chapter 16, 17, it says, in my name,
• 21:30
  they shall cast out devils and they shall speak
• 21:34
  with what? New tongues because now tongues have
• 21:40
  never been experienced on the earth. Amen. Yes,
• 21:43
  that's never been experienced. So Christ will
• 21:45
  say upon my resurrection, there will be a new
• 21:47
  sign that will follow us many that will believe.
• 21:50
  And one of the signs is that what? In my name,
• 21:53
  they shall speak what? New tongues. In what I've
• 21:57
  done in my resurrection, right? The benefit of
• 22:01
  my resurrection, the significance of my resurrection
• 22:04
  to them that believe. One of the signs, you remember
• 22:07
  yesterday we talked about sign, right? Simeon,
• 22:09
  you remember, right? Yes, we say, what is sign?
• 22:14
  What is sign? Yes, an indication, right? Yes,
• 22:19
  an evidence. Amen? Yes, so in my name, one of
• 22:23
  the evidence that will follow them that believe,
• 22:25
  right, is that they will speak with what? With
• 22:28
  other tongues, with new tongues. Praise God.
• 22:31
  And we see he was telling the disciples now at
• 22:34
  the moment, right? And then let's go to now Luke
• 22:37
  now. Luke 24. Let me just jump ahead of myself.
• 22:42
  Luke 24. Luke 24. Verse 48. And here are witnesses
• 22:53
  of these things. 49. And behold, I sent the promise
• 22:57
  of my father upon you, but tarry ye in the city
• 23:00
  of what? Jerusalem, until ye be endued with what?
• 23:04
  Power on high. Praise God. That soon. Sorry.
• 23:09
  The promise is going to be fulfilled upon you.
• 23:11
  Praise God. And then shortly, we see that happening
• 23:15
  in Acts chapter 2. We see that happening in Acts
• 23:18
  chapter 2. He said, them that believe, they shall
• 23:22
  speak with what? With new tongues. Acts chapter
• 23:24
  2. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
• 23:27
  they were all with one accord in what? In one
• 23:30
  place. Praise God. And suddenly, there came a
• 23:34
  what? A sound from heaven as of air. as of a
• 23:40
  rushing mighty wind and it filled the whole house
• 23:44
  where they were what? Sitting. Praise God. And
• 23:48
  there appeared unto them cloven tongues like
• 23:51
  as of fire and it sat upon each of them. I don't
• 23:54
  know how they saw it. And they were all filled
• 23:57
  with what? With the Holy Ghost. And they began
• 24:01
  to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave
• 24:03
  them what? Utterance. And these signs shall follow
• 24:07
  them that what? That belief. In my name, they
• 24:11
  shall speak with what? With new tongues. And
• 24:14
  the first time we have seen such an experience
• 24:16
  happening, right? It's in Acts chapter 2. And
• 24:19
  in his name, they were all together in one accord,
• 24:22
  right? And the Holy Ghost gave them utterance
• 24:25
  as they speak with what? With new tongues. You
• 24:28
  will never see anywhere, anybody, that experience
• 24:30
  happen. This is the first time on the earth.
• 24:34
  That is happening. Praise God. First time. And
• 24:42
  this happens shortly upon Jesus' resurrection
• 24:44
  and ascension. Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 24:49
  So we want to understand what is the event. What
• 24:52
  really happened in Acts chapter 2 because it's
• 24:54
  important. Amen. That will really help us to
• 24:57
  build what we are building now. Because whatever
• 25:00
  we see happening with them in Acts of the Apostles
• 25:02
  is happening with us now. Praise God. Because
• 25:06
  the Holy Ghost that is in them is the Holy Ghost
• 25:08
  that is in us now. Praise God. So now let's start
• 25:11
  from this way in a way of starting. Right? That
• 25:14
  they began to speak in other tongues as the Holy
• 25:18
  Ghost gave them what? Authorance. Because they
• 25:20
  had the Holy Ghost in them. Amen? Amen? So now
• 25:24
  we can say conclusively that if they spoke in
• 25:28
  other tongues as the Holy Ghost gave them utterance,
• 25:31
  then we also ought to speak in other tongues
• 25:34
  because the Holy Ghost is giving us what? Utterance.
• 25:38
  Are we all together on this? Is that an established
• 25:41
  truth? Is it an established truth? It's established
• 25:45
  on this understanding because we all believed.
• 25:50
  Praise God. Hallelujah. Because we all believed.
• 25:57
  You know, the other lady that came out and then
• 25:59
  we're saying that we're prayed for now here and
• 26:02
  then they spoke in tongues. She said, when I'm
• 26:07
  saying it, it's like I don't understand what
• 26:10
  I'm saying. I said, that's it. Because we're
• 26:14
  coming to this place, how does tongue sound?
• 26:16
  We're going to come to it here. I said, that
• 26:19
  is it. He said, it's only one, one or two things
• 26:23
  I'm saying. I said, yes, that's it. You have
• 26:25
  gotten it. I said, he pointed at Pastor Victor.
• 26:28
  He said, my own is not like his own. I said,
• 26:30
  your own will not be like his own because when
• 26:32
  he started out too, he didn't start out this
• 26:34
  way. But I told her, I said, you see, in this
• 26:39
  whole... Nobody started out the way you're seeing
• 26:42
  them. In the house, I don't spend like 30 minutes.
• 26:47
  Maybe I'll just say, and then switch to English.
• 26:50
  I'll just say, I said, that is it. You have gotten
• 26:52
  it. I said, so what will happen is, be bold about
• 26:58
  it. As you continue to say, as you continue to
• 27:02
  pray it out, as you continue to pray it out,
• 27:04
  you get better at it. You get better at it. You
• 27:06
  get better at it. You get better at it. You get
• 27:08
  better. I told her, I cannot remember when I
• 27:10
  started speaking in tongues. What I uttered,
• 27:12
  I cannot remember. Let me say something now that
• 27:18
  happened. So when I was praying with her, We're
• 27:20
  praying. She now started speaking. She was speaking.
• 27:22
  I said, yes, be bold. She was taking it. She
• 27:25
  was taking it. She was taking it. Let me say
• 27:27
  it now, this way now, right? Her syllables began
• 27:29
  to change. She was saying it. She was saying
• 27:31
  it. I said, the way it's happening, that's how,
• 27:32
  now you're saying, maybe it's two minutes. It's
• 27:35
  three minutes. Continue. Continue. Continue.
• 27:38
  It's going to be five minutes. It's going to
• 27:39
  be 10 minutes. It's going to be 30 minutes. It's
• 27:41
  going to be one hour. It's going to be, you know,
• 27:42
  some time ago. We prayed in tongues, right? We
• 27:46
  prayed, prayed, prayed, prayed, prayed. One hour,
• 27:48
  two hours, three hours, four hours, five, six,
• 27:49
  seven, eight, nine, ten hours. Eleven, twelve,
• 27:52
  thirteen, fourteen hours. How does the song,
• 28:00
  the sound or the tongue sound? You get it here.
• 28:06
  Some of you want the tongue to be sweet. You
• 28:10
  want it to be sounding sweet in your head. You
• 28:28
  say, you know, I'm in the spirit now. That is
• 28:42
  when I say, you know, so I think I'm in the spirit
• 28:44
  now because the things I'm saying is making sense
• 28:47
  to me. Hallelujah. Praise God. You know, so when
• 28:58
  I was praying, she said, when I was praying for
• 29:00
  her, you know, I not got a word, right? One of
• 29:03
  the things I saw is that I had in my heart. That
• 29:07
  her mom, right, is into entrepreneurship. And
• 29:11
  then the dad is a civil servant. I heard it.
• 29:16
  How? I don't know. By the Spirit. Praise God.
• 29:23
  And I asked her and she confirmed it. And we
• 29:27
  prayed regarding the direction, regarding that
• 29:30
  information that we received. Hallelujah. Praise
• 29:34
  God. And you know, she's here. And she's willing
• 29:37
  to pray more in tongues. Hallelujah. Yeah, the
• 29:39
  other lady too is here. And they are willing
• 29:41
  today. They are going to pray more in tongues.
• 29:42
  You know, you're not going to only pray in tongues.
• 29:44
  You're going to interpret your tongues. Hallelujah.
• 29:46
  You're going to give us a word of prophecy. The
• 29:48
  two of you. By the Spirit. Don't be doing like
• 29:51
  this with your eyes. She's doing like this with
• 29:53
  her eyes. The same way you spoke in tongues.
• 29:57
  The ability to prophesy is inside you. Praise
• 30:00
  God. Let's hear Pastor Kosti. Yesterday you said
• 30:07
  you'll be serious. And now, this is what you
• 30:11
  are doing to us. So the first time we see tongues
• 30:14
  was ever experienced in Acts chapter 2. Amen?
• 30:17
  Yeah, I'm back to my serious face. Yeah, so the
• 30:19
  first time we see tongues was ever experienced
• 30:21
  in what? Acts chapter 2. And what we see, what
• 30:25
  we see, first that we are seeing, is that the
• 30:28
  Holy Spirit didn't come to hold. You see, when
• 30:31
  Christ said that, in my name, They that believe
• 30:36
  shall speak in new tongues. He didn't say that
• 30:42
  in my name, I have a system that I will come
• 30:45
  and take hold of their tongue and begin to pray.
• 30:49
  No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He didn't say that.
• 30:53
  And if you see, Jesus was careful with his words.
• 30:56
  He said, they are the ones that shall speak.
• 31:02
  However, within them, there will be an ability.
• 31:05
  Amen. And that's my spirit at work in them. But
• 31:08
  they are the ones that will do what? That will
• 31:10
  speak. And we see, because they had Jesus' instructions
• 31:15
  in detail and carefully. So they knew that they
• 31:20
  were filled with the spirit of God. And they
• 31:22
  knew that all trans has been given to them. So
• 31:24
  what was the next thing that they did? They began
• 31:26
  to speak. Hallelujah. Praise God. Today you know
• 31:31
  that the Spirit of God is in you. Hallelujah.
• 31:33
  And today you know that all trans is given to
• 31:35
  you. Hallelujah. And what you're supposed to
• 31:37
  be doing is that you should be participating.
• 31:39
  Praise God. You should begin to speak. You should
• 31:41
  begin to prophesy. You should begin to lay house
• 31:43
  on the sick. You should begin to give word of
• 31:45
  wisdom. Begin to give word of knowledge. Because
• 31:47
  you know that the Spirit of God is within you.
• 31:50
  Hallelujah. So now, verse 4. And they were all
• 31:57
  filled with the Holy Ghost and began to speak
• 31:58
  with other tongues as the Spirit gave them what?
• 32:01
  As the Spirit gave them utterance. Praise God.
• 32:05
  Hallelujah. Now, let's just read a little bit
• 32:08
  down. Five. And there were dwelling at Jerusalem
• 32:11
  Jews, devout men out of every nation under heaven.
• 32:15
  Praise God. Now, when this was noised abroad,
• 32:19
  the multitude came together and were confounded,
• 32:22
  confused at what they were saying. Right? The
• 32:25
  first time they came to that atmosphere, they
• 32:27
  saw them. That was what was happening. They were
• 32:33
  first confused. They were confounded. They were
• 32:36
  confounded. Amen. But now see what happened now.
• 32:39
  See the next statement. Because that every man
• 32:45
  had them what? Speak in his own what? Language.
• 32:49
  The first thing they saw from that atmosphere.
• 32:52
  You see, in fact, that statement say. It was
• 32:55
  noise abroad. The people there didn't give us
• 33:00
  the exact thing that was happening. And information
• 33:03
  went abroad. But what was the first thing they
• 33:06
  saw? They had them, they spoke in what? In tongues.
• 33:09
  Hallelujah. But the next thing that now they
• 33:12
  began to hear was not tongues again. Praise God.
• 33:15
  What they had was now they are what? Their language.
• 33:18
  From what we have discussed over when these statements
• 33:21
  say they had them speak in their own language,
• 33:23
  what comes to your mind? So which means what?
• 33:27
  They understood what they were saying. Praise
• 33:30
  God. So there was a time where they didn't understand
• 33:32
  what they were saying. But now later on, they
• 33:35
  now understand what they were what? They were
• 33:37
  saying. Praise God. And what were they saying?
• 33:40
  And they were all amazed and marveled, saying
• 33:43
  one to another, behold, are all these what? Are
• 33:47
  not all these words which speak Galileans? And
• 33:51
  how hear we every man in our own words, language
• 33:54
  wherein we were born? Praise God. Parthians,
• 33:58
  right? Medes, Elamites, and dwellers of Mesopotamia,
• 34:03
  and in Judea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,
• 34:07
  Phrygia, Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in parts of
• 34:09
  Libya, Abbas, Syrian. And strangers of Rome,
• 34:12
  Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we
• 34:14
  do hear them speak in our tongues. The what?
• 34:18
  The wonderful works of who? Of God. So what did
• 34:23
  they hear them speak in their own language? The
• 34:26
  wonderful works of who? Of God. This is important
• 34:30
  to what is happening here today. Pay attention.
• 34:35
  Praise God. Pay attention. So we see a fulfillment
• 34:42
  of that which Christ has spoken. In Mark chapter
• 34:47
  16, where we've read in Luke chapter 24, 49,
• 34:51
  even in Acts chapter 1, verse 8, we see a fulfillment
• 34:56
  of what Christ instructed them, told them. From
• 35:00
  Mark chapter 16, in Luke chapter 24, we read
• 35:02
  it, right? And then in Acts chapter 1 verse 8,
• 35:06
  you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost
• 35:08
  has come upon you and you shall be my witnesses.
• 35:11
  Amen. We see a fulfillment of that scripture
• 35:14
  upon them in Acts chapter 2. Praise God. So now
• 35:19
  when we go back to Acts chapter 2, one of the
• 35:21
  things we started seeing first, he said, and
• 35:23
  suddenly there came a sound from where? From
• 35:26
  heaven as of a rushing mighty wind. Amen. That
• 35:33
  filled the house where they were sitting. And
• 35:35
  there appeared upon them cloven tongues like
• 35:37
  as of a what? Fire. Praise God. So we see that.
• 35:48
  Let's go to Ezekiel chapter 1. We now realize
• 35:51
  why Luke had to give us this rendition. Ezekiel
• 35:59
  chapter 1. Ezekiel chapter 1, everybody. Ezekiel
• 36:05
  chapter 1, verse 3 to 4. The word of the Lord
• 36:10
  came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son
• 36:14
  of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the
• 36:17
  river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was what?
• 36:21
  Was there upon him. This discourse will be explained
• 36:24
  much more later, right? But the hand of the Lord,
• 36:28
  just talking about the presence of the Lord,
• 36:30
  was upon him. Amen? Right? And I looked and behold,
• 36:33
  a wild wind came out of what? Out of the north.
• 36:39
  Now, that's verse four. Rendition is to be able
• 36:43
  to say what is happening as the hand of the Lord
• 36:45
  came. Amen? A wild wind came out of the north,
• 36:49
  a great cloud and a fire enfolding itself and
• 36:54
  a brightness was about it and out of the mist
• 36:57
  thereof, as of the color of amber, out of the
• 37:00
  mist of what? Out of the midst of fire. And also,
• 37:04
  out of the midst thereof came the likeness of
• 37:09
  what? Of four living what? Creatures. What he
• 37:13
  saw. What he saw as the hand of the Lord did
• 37:17
  what? Came upon him. Praise God. Then we now
• 37:21
  see Exodus 19, 16. You see, you now clearly understand
• 37:27
  why Luke had to be able to paint. Almost similar
• 37:31
  picture for us here. Exodus 19 verse 16. Thank
• 37:39
  you, Holy Spirit. And it came to pass on that
• 37:41
  third day in the morning that there were what?
• 37:44
  Thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud upon
• 37:49
  the mount and the voice of the trumpet exceeding
• 37:52
  loud so that all the people were what? That was
• 37:56
  in the calm, they were what? They were trembled.
• 38:00
  Hallelujah. This was at Mount Sinai when the
• 38:03
  Lord came down. Praise God. Amen. So also what?
• 38:07
  Saying and depicting the picture of events, supernatural
• 38:12
  events. Amen. So now this will give us an idea
• 38:16
  why Luke will have to write or report such a
• 38:19
  similar event as such. Because Luke was not there
• 38:24
  when this event happened. Amen. He received a
• 38:28
  report about that, which we know now in this
• 38:31
  church about that. Amen? So now, he will now
• 38:34
  write it. Right? He now went down to write it
• 38:39
  as such also. He said, let's go back to Acts
• 38:43
  chapter 2 so that you will now see how now Luke
• 38:46
  also wrote that. That Acts that we've been reading,
• 38:52
  don't get tired of because we are going to stay
• 38:54
  here all day. See now. And he said, and suddenly
• 38:58
  there came a sound from what? From heaven as
• 39:02
  a what? As a mighty rushing wind. Does it sound
• 39:06
  like where we are coming from? Does it look like
• 39:09
  where we are coming from? Does it look like it?
• 39:12
  Good now. See now. And it all filled the house
• 39:15
  where they were what? They were seated. And there
• 39:18
  appeared unto them cloven tongues as of what?
• 39:21
  Fire. Does it look like where we are coming from
• 39:23
  now? Yes. Praise God. So we see that speaking
• 39:28
  about light and fire, right? That he was writing
• 39:32
  about was to signify God's presence. He was signifying
• 39:40
  what? God's presence. An event that is supernatural.
• 39:44
  Hallelujah. An event that is what? Supernatural.
• 39:52
  An event that is supernatural. So now Luke will
• 39:57
  now use figures of speech to be able to now write
• 40:01
  such a communication. A sound from heaven as
• 40:05
  of a mighty what? Rushing wind. As of a mighty
• 40:11
  rushing wind. That word as of implies it wasn't
• 40:17
  literal. You know, we handle that in the cell
• 40:22
  meeting teaching. You know, when we say something
• 40:24
  is literal, what do we mean? Help me out. Allah,
• 40:32
  Allah. Taking, yes, no hidden meaning. Yes, same
• 40:44
  way. Praise God. Hallelujah. So, it was not literal
• 40:49
  from the word as of. It's a figurative statement
• 40:55
  that implies it wasn't what? Literal. In other
• 40:58
  words, there was no actual rushing mighty wind.
• 41:02
  Do you know, actual rushing, it will take the
• 41:05
  roof off. Amen. That word as of, a mighty rushing
• 41:13
  wind is a figurative statement. Amen. Because
• 41:17
  Luke was writing, he was writing. The event that
• 41:22
  happened. And he had to capture that event within
• 41:25
  the context of the whole scripture. Praise God.
• 41:29
  So he could not go and write it out of the scripture.
• 41:32
  Amen? So we see events like as we've read in
• 41:38
  Exodus and Ezekiel. And then we see Luke also
• 41:41
  writing in such a communication. That we see
• 41:44
  God's presence come into the room. We see these
• 41:47
  people filled with the spirit of God. And these
• 41:50
  are... And this and this happening to them. So
• 41:53
  it happened as a mighty what? Rushing wind. We
• 41:57
  see thunders. We saw lightnings. We saw earthquakes.
• 42:01
  Right? And then the voice of God came. Did they
• 42:07
  actually see earthquake? Amen. So it's like meeting
• 42:13
  somebody in this room. Right? In the next hours
• 42:16
  that we're going to be praying. And then the
• 42:17
  presence of God, feel here the glory of God revealed
• 42:20
  everywhere. There is so much strength inside
• 42:23
  us. And we are praying. Then somebody just walks
• 42:30
  in up here. He said, you know, when I got into
• 42:32
  this place, you know, there is so much power
• 42:36
  I saw. I saw lightnings everywhere. I saw fire
• 42:40
  everywhere. You know, the people will use fire
• 42:43
  because the energy they saw. Yesterday the man
• 42:47
  here came. He saw us were praying. He stood by
• 42:50
  the door and he was doing like this. And I woke
• 42:54
  up to him. He said, what is this happening? I
• 42:58
  said, we are praying. And I look, he smiled.
• 43:01
  He said, where are we? Because they understand
• 43:04
  more Orthodox and Protestant. He said, where
• 43:07
  are we? What he meant is that we, what kind are
• 43:11
  we? Are we Orthodox? We are protesting because
• 43:15
  they are used to that around here. I told him
• 43:18
  we're in the middle. He said, oh, he's carrying
• 43:22
  shit. He's a mix of this. I said, yes. That's
• 43:26
  the one that his mind can carry. If I begin to
• 43:30
  explain the Holy Ghost to him, I begin to, you
• 43:33
  say it's a mighty rushing wind. Someone that
• 43:38
  will now see that will what? Will pen that event.
• 43:42
  But you know what they saw? They never saw mighty
• 43:44
  rushing wind as of. Amen. The next line now,
• 43:47
  they never saw, they said there appeared unto
• 43:51
  them cloven tongue as of what? Fire. Never literal.
• 43:55
  What they saw in that room was just tongues.
• 44:00
  Praise God. It's just what? Tongues. Hallelujah.
• 44:06
  Praise God. What they saw is what? Tongues. So
• 44:15
  we see Luke will now pen that in his writings
• 44:17
  for us. One amazing, powerful thing is that no
• 44:25
  one in that room was exempted from that experience.
• 44:29
  Hallelujah. Everybody in that room spoke in other
• 44:35
  tongues to validate Jesus' statement that upon
• 44:41
  whom That believe, whosoever believe in my name,
• 44:45
  they shall speak with what? With new tongues.
• 44:49
  Everyone that was in that room spoke in what?
• 44:51
  In tongues. Tongues is for everyone that believes.
• 44:58
  Praise God. Everyone that believes. They were
• 45:06
  all filled with the Holy Ghost and they speak
• 45:09
  and they began to speak with what? With other
• 45:12
  tongues, as the Spirit gave them what? Utterance.
• 45:18
  So, verse 2 and 3. Amen. Are you all with me?
• 45:22
  Verse 2 and 3 just describes their experience
• 45:27
  of being filled with the Spirit of God. And that
• 45:30
  experience is speaking in tongues. Verse 2 and
• 45:34
  3. Right? Mighty rushing winds, as of a fire.
• 45:38
  Right? Describes their what? Their experience.
• 45:42
  And what is the experience? What is the experience?
• 45:46
  They were all speaking with what? With other
• 45:49
  tongues as the Spirit gave them what? Authorance.
• 46:04
  Probably one of these meetings, one of these
• 46:06
  days you have had an experience. Let me say it
• 46:08
  now as I'm just passing by as an example. Maybe
• 46:11
  you just... You're praying, you're praying, you're
• 46:18
  praying. Suddenly, like something changed inside
• 46:21
  you. Like gears have changed. And then there
• 46:25
  was this energy that just surged inside you.
• 46:29
  There was this strength that surged inside your
• 46:32
  inner man. From nowhere, you increased the tempo.
• 46:35
  You increased the tempo. It's increasing. It's
• 46:44
  increasing. Someone saw that. You knelt down.
• 46:47
  And you kept praying. You kept praying fervently.
• 46:52
  Somebody will come in there and see that experience.
• 46:56
  And say, you know when I saw praise? Prince was
• 47:00
  just shaking. There was this shaking all around
• 47:03
  him. Let him say, I saw him praying in tongues,
• 47:07
  straight. He said, there was this shaking, shaking,
• 47:11
  shaking. You know, he knelt down. He was just
• 47:13
  shaking. He was shouting, to all the gods. He
• 47:17
  was shaking, you know. And he stood up and began
• 47:19
  to prophesy to everybody in the room. You see,
• 47:24
  all these things were all to describe what? The
• 47:29
  posture of his prayers. The experience. So verse
• 47:34
  2 and 3. Right? Was to describe what? The experience.
• 47:38
  In verse what? In verse 4. Amen? And that experience
• 47:42
  is that what? They were speaking in what? In
• 47:46
  tongues. And all of them were speaking in tongues.
• 47:49
  All of them. All of them. I keep saying it. All
• 47:52
  of them spoke in what? In tongues. All of them.
• 47:55
  This is why I'm saying that. All of them spoke
• 47:57
  in tongues because all of them believed. So everyone
• 48:01
  that believes. These signs also what? Follow
• 48:06
  them. Are we all here? Are we all here? So the
• 48:11
  spirit gave them utterance as all of them what?
• 48:15
  Speak. Praise God. That word gave in verse 4.
• 48:19
  That word gave means didomai. That word gave.
• 48:25
  D -I -D -O -M -I. Didomai. Or didomi. I don't
• 48:29
  know. It's not my language. Didomai. Gave. That
• 48:37
  word gave. Didomai. You know, you understand
• 48:40
  why. Everything that we are doing here, please
• 48:41
  pay attention to it. Didomai. That word gave.
• 48:45
  And it means to offer unconditionally. To give
• 48:51
  unconditional supply for one's advantage. Didomai
• 48:58
  is to what? To give unconditionally, right? For
• 49:03
  one's advantage. To supply to one unconditionally
• 49:08
  for his what? For his advantage. Praise God.
• 49:12
  So the Holy Ghost gave them utterance for their
• 49:15
  what? Advantage. The believer has utterance from
• 49:19
  the Holy Ghost as his what? Advantage. Unconditional.
• 49:22
  When we say something is unconditional, it means
• 49:25
  that you never worked for it. You never worked
• 49:29
  for it. There is nothing you have done to earn
• 49:32
  it. Praise God. So the Holy Spirit supplied utterance
• 49:37
  unconditionally. And they understood that there
• 49:43
  is a supply. What is the next thing they began
• 49:45
  to do? They began to speak. Praise God. So we
• 49:52
  have received from the Father His Spirit unconditionally
• 49:57
  that we may know all the things that have been
• 50:01
  freely what? Given to us. So what we are going
• 50:03
  to do? We are going to jump at it and participate
• 50:06
  and enjoy it. Hallelujah. Because it's for our
• 50:08
  advantage. Praise God. So that word didomai,
• 50:12
  it means what? Unconditional. An unconditional
• 50:18
  supply for one's advantage. So in other words,
• 50:22
  we say the spirit received within the believer
• 50:24
  gave them unconditional supply of utterance.
• 50:27
  He gave them unconditional supply of what? Of
• 50:30
  utterance. Praise God. And then we see, that
• 50:33
  is why we see Luke will refer to this experience
• 50:37
  as that it is given and what? And received. Praise
• 50:44
  God. So when you give something, what happens?
• 50:47
  On the other side, it has to be what? Received.
• 50:50
  Praise God. So these men were filled with the
• 50:53
  Holy Ghost. They know the Holy Ghost has given
• 50:55
  them what? Utterance. And they have already what?
• 50:59
  Received it. So what will they do? They operate
• 51:02
  in it. Praise God. Let me say something now because
• 51:06
  so that, you know, your mind can relate with
• 51:10
  it. Don't laugh. Imagine you just woke up to
• 51:14
  this conference now. Unconditionally. You are
• 51:17
  a student. And then just by the downstairs, You
• 51:21
  met me, right? And I say, oh, Samantha, you're
• 51:26
  looking good. How are you? Fine. I say, you see
• 51:30
  that Range Rover Vela? This morning, I just came
• 51:34
  with it and the key is yours. Ha! He said, sir,
• 51:39
  eh? I said, no, no, no, I'm serious. He said,
• 51:42
  Papi, see, I've come again. This is your joke.
• 51:46
  And then I take the papers. I show you. You see
• 51:49
  your name. You see your surname. You see all
• 51:52
  the documents of the car. It's yours. Now you
• 52:00
  see, her mind can relate. Even though you don't
• 52:06
  have a driver's license, you now rush up, pray
• 52:08
  as what's going on, you didn't care. Whether
• 52:11
  prayers was going on or not, you didn't care.
• 52:13
  You look for Kolade because you know he has driver's
• 52:15
  license. He said, come and drive me. Let me test
• 52:17
  this car. And then now, instead of testing the
• 52:22
  car, you ask him to go and park it in your house.
• 52:28
  And you carry the key. You ask a taxi to drop
• 52:31
  you. I'm taking it extreme now so that you understand
• 52:34
  something. To take you to Kyrenia, you go to
• 52:38
  the beach and throw the key into the ocean. And
• 52:41
  you come back home. And then you go about saying,
• 52:50
  Sir, do you know that I have a Range Rover? And
• 52:55
  when you were saying this, both of you are inside
• 52:57
  school bus. Nobody will believe you. So the only
• 53:08
  way we will believe you that you received an
• 53:11
  unconditional gift of a Range Rover, right? Is
• 53:15
  that when we see you, even though you don't have
• 53:17
  the license, right? but there's somebody driving
• 53:21
  you. And then, you know, in Africa, I don't know
• 53:23
  who told us that sitting at the back, it means
• 53:25
  it's owner's corner. I don't know. I don't know
• 53:28
  who told us that. You know, it has caused so
• 53:31
  much problem. I don't know who told us that it's
• 53:35
  when you sit close on the right side, it means
• 53:38
  that the car is yours. Okay, let's assume she's
• 53:41
  from Africa. She sat on the right side. You know,
• 53:44
  so when she comes and says, sir, you know, You
• 53:48
  know, last week I got a gift. I never, in fact,
• 53:51
  you say, where is this? I say, yeah. In fact,
• 53:53
  you know, she will not even, she will come and
• 53:54
  drag Pastor Victor. She will drag everybody to
• 53:57
  come and see it. Why did I make this? I say this.
• 54:04
  She believed that what has been given, she has
• 54:06
  already what? Received and is hers. You know,
• 54:11
  if it's somebody, somebody like me can do it.
• 54:14
  I can go to this, I will walk with the car papers
• 54:16
  in my pocket. I've received it. It's mine. Hallelujah.
• 54:24
  It's what? It's mine. I'm not keeping it anywhere.
• 54:29
  I'm using it around the city. So it is. What
• 54:35
  Luke wrote is that something was given to them
• 54:38
  and they did what? And they received it. They
• 54:40
  didn't hide it. They showed it. They manifested
• 54:47
  it. They acted upon it. Praise God. Everything
• 54:52
  you have received from the Holy Ghost, everything
• 54:55
  you have received from Jesus is not to be hidden.
• 54:58
  It's not to be kept. It's to be what? It's to
• 55:01
  be shown. The scripture just came to my head
• 55:05
  now. 1st Peter chapter 2 verse 9. But yea, a
• 55:09
  chosen generation, royal priesthood, and a holy
• 55:12
  nation. 2 verse 9. A peculiar people that yea
• 55:15
  shall show forth the praises of him who hath
• 55:19
  called you out of darkness into his what? Into
• 55:22
  his marvelous light. Show forth to display so
• 55:28
  that he can meet the eyes. Oh, let me say it
• 55:31
  as it's coming to my spirit. Now, the things
• 55:34
  of the spirit ought to be displayed. They are
• 55:40
  a sign and signs are not hidden. Have you ever
• 55:45
  located a place and then that place, they say,
• 55:49
  I'm going to Kyrenia and in Kyrenia, I'm looking
• 55:53
  for so -and -so place. Do you have the, what
• 55:56
  and what can I use? He said, no, just walk on
• 55:58
  the road. When you arrive there, you will know.
• 56:05
  Never. So tongues ought to be displayed. Interpretation
• 56:08
  of tongues ought to be what? Displayed. Prophecy
• 56:11
  ought to be what? Displayed. Laying on of hands
• 56:14
  ought to be what? Displayed. Word of wisdom ought
• 56:17
  to be what? Displayed. Do you see what I mentioned
• 56:23
  here? She never cared whether we were praying
• 56:26
  or not. All that she's concerned is that she
• 56:29
  has received something. Hallelujah. When it comes
• 56:31
  to the supernatural, don't care. Don't care.
• 56:33
  Don't care. Don't care. Don't care. All that
• 56:36
  matters is that show it forth. Show it forth.
• 56:43
  Show it forth. Don't keep it inside. Hallelujah.
• 56:55
  Don't do what? Because you have received it and
• 56:59
  it's yours. Say it's mine. Say it's mine. The
• 57:02
  Holy Ghost dwells in me and all his gifts is
• 57:07
  mine. Hallelujah. So we saw him recorded that.
• 57:15
  Amen. Hallelujah. Praise God. We have an advantage,
• 57:23
  right? So that word utterance. He said he gave
• 57:27
  them what? Utterance. So something unconditional
• 57:29
  was given, right? And then what was given that
• 57:31
  was unconditional? Utterance. So what is utterance
• 57:34
  now? Let's look at that word. We are still in
• 57:37
  Acts chapter 2. Utterance. That word utterance
• 57:41
  is from the Greek word aptegomai. A -P -P -H
• 57:46
  A -P -P -H T -H -E Don't worry, I'm going to
• 57:55
  say it a couple of times. A -P -P -H -T -H -E
• 57:58
  -G -G -O -M -I. A -P -P -H -T -H -E -G -G -O
• 58:04
  -M -I. And this word implies a kind of speaking.
• 58:14
  A kind of speaking. A kind of speaking. That
• 58:26
  refers to an elevated discussion. A kind of speaking,
• 58:30
  which is what? An elevated discussion. A kind
• 58:36
  of speaking, which is an elevated what? Discussion.
• 58:39
  It's contrasting our everyday discussion, you
• 58:42
  know, the way we are speaking English language
• 58:44
  now. This kind of speaking is not our everyday
• 58:47
  what? Discussion. It's an elevated kind of discussion.
• 58:55
  People that are doing computer language, you
• 58:57
  know, we have programming languages, right? Right?
• 59:01
  Is it not? So we have codes. Yeah, you heard.
• 59:04
  Right? So when we do the codes and codes, only
• 59:08
  people that have been trained in the codes can
• 59:10
  understand it, right? It's a kind, it's an elevated
• 59:13
  kind of discussion. Praise God. It's an elevated
• 59:19
  what? Kind of what? Not a normal day discussion.
• 59:24
  Praise God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So these
• 59:30
  people received that from the Holy Ghost. He
• 59:33
  gave them what? Alterance unconditionally. He
• 59:37
  gave them an elevated kind of discussion. We're
• 59:39
  going to look at that in 1 Corinthians 14. You
• 59:42
  understand why it has to be an elevated discussion.
• 59:45
  A discussion that the mind, the normal mind cannot
• 59:50
  be able to watch. I gave us an example, just
• 59:53
  a lower version of the example with my tribe
• 59:55
  or with my dialect. However, some of you sense
• 59:59
  on me. Right? But when I now move higher, you
• 1:00:04
  cannot catch up. Right? So the believer has received
• 1:00:13
  from the Holy Ghost. Let me put it this way,
• 1:00:17
  the way it's coming to my spirit. A God kind
• 1:00:20
  of language. A God kind of language that permits
• 1:00:25
  him to have an elevated discussion with the Father.
• 1:00:31
  You have an ability that is God's kind. A kind
• 1:00:35
  of speaking that is only common to you and the
• 1:00:38
  Father. Praise God. Hallelujah. So, where we
• 1:00:48
  have read, are we all here, everybody? Are we
• 1:00:51
  all here? Yes. So, are we all here together?
• 1:00:55
  Praise God. So, Acts chapter 2 now. Where we've
• 1:00:58
  read, there were a couple of people that were
• 1:00:59
  there. One of the things we see in verse 6, Acts
• 1:01:02
  chapter 2, verse 6. Now, when this was noise,
• 1:01:04
  I brought the multitude, came together, and they
• 1:01:05
  were confounded, because that every man had them
• 1:01:07
  speak in his own, what? Language. Verse 7 now.
• 1:01:10
  And they were all amazed, and marveled, saying
• 1:01:12
  one to another, Behold, are not all these we
• 1:01:14
  speak, what? Galileans, and then the communication
• 1:01:16
  continues. Amen? But the first thing that we
• 1:01:19
  saw here is that they were all what? Confounded.
• 1:01:22
  Praise God. All the people that were there that
• 1:01:25
  heard them were confused because they heard them
• 1:01:28
  speak, right? In tongues. Amen? Amen? But let's
• 1:01:34
  turn. They now heard them speak again in their
• 1:01:36
  own what? In their own language. And they were
• 1:01:40
  all amazed. What did they hear? They were speaking
• 1:01:42
  the wonderful works of who? The wonderful works
• 1:01:46
  of who? Of God in verse 11. Amen. Yeah, so that
• 1:01:50
  is what we see happening in Acts chapter 2. Praise
• 1:01:55
  God. So these people will not have just come
• 1:02:00
  there and see them speaking in tongues and they
• 1:02:02
  imagine that these people are speaking our language.
• 1:02:05
  So, for example, when I come, Please, in this
• 1:02:18
  room, this language is for who? It's from whose
• 1:02:20
  tribe? Whose tribe? Whose tribe? Who understood
• 1:02:23
  what I just did now? That is your tribe. So,
• 1:02:28
  you see? That's the spirit. So, imagine now,
• 1:02:33
  they say, everybody around the world. came. And
• 1:02:36
  then they came and then it was noise abroad.
• 1:02:39
  Rekapalada, Jabalagada, Irabalada, everybody.
• 1:02:42
  Elevated discussion. High -end discussion. Ayakapalada.
• 1:02:46
  And then everybody, hey, he's speaking Galilean.
• 1:02:49
  Hey, he's Jew. Hey, this is Medes. And they were
• 1:02:53
  just 120. So how could 120 speak all the languages
• 1:02:58
  around? Praise God. Something must have happened
• 1:03:04
  by the Spirit in that atmosphere. For them to
• 1:03:07
  be able to decipher and hear and understand that
• 1:03:11
  these people are speaking our own words, language.
• 1:03:14
  And what they are saying is what they are declaring
• 1:03:17
  the wonderful works of who? Of God. Praise God.
• 1:03:21
  Are we all here? Are we all here? Are we using
• 1:03:25
  our brain? Is it getting clearer? Praise God.
• 1:03:30
  Perfect. Now. What we see, 1 Corinthians 14 verse
• 1:03:36
  2. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 2. 1 Corinthians 14.
• 1:03:44
  For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh
• 1:03:47
  not unto what? Not unto man. Hallelujah. But
• 1:03:51
  unto who? But unto God. This same tongue Jesus
• 1:03:55
  said in my name, if you believe you shall speak
• 1:03:58
  in new what? In new tongues. Acts chapter 2,
• 1:04:01
  we are seeing the first experience, right? And
• 1:04:03
  then now we are seeing Paul writing here in 1
• 1:04:06
  Corinthians 14 verse 2. He's saying that when
• 1:04:08
  you speak this kind of speaking, you are not
• 1:04:11
  speaking unto men. You are speaking unto who?
• 1:04:14
  Unto God. He said, for no man will what? Understand.
• 1:04:20
  How be it in the spirit. Pastor Victor said spirit.
• 1:04:24
  How be it in the spirit he speaketh what? Mysteries.
• 1:04:30
  Praise God. Why? Because tongues are unintelligent
• 1:04:35
  communication to the human mind. They are what?
• 1:04:40
  Unintelligent what? Communication to the human
• 1:04:42
  mind. Praise God. Unintelligent communication.
• 1:04:49
  So, What will Paul write? Since they are unintelligent
• 1:04:53
  communication to the human mind. 1 Corinthians
• 1:04:55
  14, 14. He said, for if I pray in an unknown
• 1:04:58
  tongue, my spirit, what? Prayed. But my understanding
• 1:05:02
  is what? Fruitful. How be it no man understand
• 1:05:05
  what? It. So my understanding. You remember we
• 1:05:10
  are coming from language, right? And we say everywhere
• 1:05:12
  there is language, the next thing we should see
• 1:05:14
  is what? Is understanding. But we can see Paul's
• 1:05:18
  writing. He said that when I speak in tongues,
• 1:05:21
  I speak unto God. So when we say I speak unto
• 1:05:25
  God, so what does he mean? So which means what?
• 1:05:31
  God understands. How be it? No man will do what?
• 1:05:38
  Understand what I'm saying. For in the spirit,
• 1:05:41
  I pray. And what I'm praying is mysteries. You
• 1:05:45
  understand why we say it's mysteries. Hallelujah.
• 1:05:48
  So what is happening in Acts chapter 2? As the
• 1:05:51
  Holy Ghost gave them utterance, when people come
• 1:05:54
  there, they will not what? Understand them. But
• 1:05:56
  later on, they understood them, speaking in their
• 1:06:00
  own language. And they say, hey, these people
• 1:06:03
  are speaking in our own language. And what they
• 1:06:06
  are declaring is the wonderful works of who?
• 1:06:09
  Of God. So something must have happened for their
• 1:06:13
  mind to understand that communication. Praise
• 1:06:16
  God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Are we all here?
• 1:06:22
  So the only way the human mind can understand
• 1:06:25
  tongues when it is uttered is when it is interpreted.
• 1:06:32
  The only way the human mind can understand praying
• 1:06:36
  in tongues is when it is what? Interpreted. Hallelujah.
• 1:06:42
  That is when understanding comes. That is when
• 1:06:46
  understanding comes. That is when understanding
• 1:06:52
  comes. The only way the human mind can understand
• 1:06:55
  such an elevated discussion is when it is what?
• 1:06:59
  When it is interpreted. So, you can put it this
• 1:07:04
  way. Autorants or tongues, put it this way, tongues
• 1:07:12
  plus interpretation is equal to prophecy. Tongues,
• 1:07:19
  Plus interpretation is equal to what? Prophecy.
• 1:07:24
  Put it this way. You know why I said that. So
• 1:07:31
  at this point now, which means the human mind
• 1:07:33
  what? Understands. So the human mind can receive
• 1:07:36
  and understand what has been uttered. Are we
• 1:07:40
  all here? So you know Jesus said in Mark chapter
• 1:07:50
  16 verse 17. Let's go there. Mark chapter 16
• 1:07:54
  verse 17. Let's go back there. All this while
• 1:08:03
  we've been talking about tongues. Amen. About
• 1:08:05
  what? About tongues. Mark chapter 16 verse 17.
• 1:08:08
  And these signs shall follow them that believe
• 1:08:10
  in my name. Shall they cast out what? Devils.
• 1:08:12
  They shall speak with what? New tongues. If it's
• 1:08:15
  your Bible, underline the word new. The word
• 1:08:20
  new is from the Greek word kainos. Kainos. K
• 1:08:26
  -A -I -N -O -S. Kainos. Which means novel, uncommon,
• 1:08:35
  unheard of. Kainos. Something novel. Something
• 1:08:45
  novel. Uncommon. Unheard of. And it means that
• 1:08:51
  prior to this time, such a language had never
• 1:08:54
  been heard. Kainos, novel, uncommon, unheard
• 1:09:01
  of, which implies that prior to this time, such
• 1:09:04
  a language had never been what? Heard or spoken.
• 1:09:08
  Never. New tongues. A kind of speaking that has
• 1:09:15
  never been heard. A kind of speaking. That has
• 1:09:19
  never been spoken. Hallelujah. Praise God. So.
• 1:09:29
  When we say something has never been heard. Or
• 1:09:32
  spoken. And it's new. Kainos. It means that.
• 1:09:37
  The day you start speaking it. Nobody taught
• 1:09:40
  you. Hallelujah. The only way. We have a student
• 1:09:47
  becomes a teacher. A professor becomes, let me
• 1:09:52
  use the word, a student becomes a professor is
• 1:09:54
  that another professor must what? Must have taught
• 1:09:57
  him. And that professor received that teaching
• 1:10:01
  also from another professor. For example, our
• 1:10:06
  father, we call him our father, my professor.
• 1:10:10
  It happens that we happen to be among his last
• 1:10:13
  children. In his three of professorial cadre,
• 1:10:17
  he's an emeritus. We happen to be out in the
• 1:10:20
  last generation. Right? Maybe he might have one
• 1:10:27
  more generation. Right? Because he's already,
• 1:10:31
  oh, he's 80 something now. Getting to 90. I saw
• 1:10:40
  him, one of his students. She became professor
• 1:10:43
  since she was, maybe, as of when I was reading
• 1:10:47
  her. She was, I think, 40 -something. And she
• 1:10:51
  was already tired of being a professor. She had
• 1:10:53
  become a professor maybe when she was 32, 33.
• 1:10:58
  And so when I was reading her website, she has
• 1:11:01
  already raised people that are already professors.
• 1:11:07
  So we can't call that a new thing. Amen? So when
• 1:11:12
  I had a professor come out of me, I can't call
• 1:11:15
  it a what? A new thing. You see? Already, for
• 1:11:18
  example, I'm also on the way of raising professors
• 1:11:20
  in a short time. I can't call it a what? A new
• 1:11:24
  thing. Because it's already heard. It's something
• 1:11:27
  that is common. It's not novel. I have 10 professors.
• 1:11:33
  Go and see them. It's not novel. So, but you
• 1:11:39
  see, what Jesus is saying here is that it has
• 1:11:43
  never what? It has never been heard. It has never
• 1:11:46
  been what? And let me say it. When Christ spoke
• 1:11:51
  this statement, he didn't say that you're going
• 1:11:53
  to learn it. Do you know what I said? He didn't
• 1:11:57
  say that you're going to what? Learn it. He said,
• 1:12:00
  let's read it this way. And he said, in my name,
• 1:12:03
  they shall cast out devils and they shall learn
• 1:12:06
  how to speak in new tongues. Is that what the
• 1:12:09
  scripture says? He said, they shall do what?
• 1:12:11
  They shall speak. The complete curriculum is
• 1:12:15
  inside you. You will just speak it. You will
• 1:12:21
  not learn it. By the Spirit, you will do what?
• 1:12:23
  You will speak it. It has never been heard. It
• 1:12:29
  has never been seen. It has never been spoken.
• 1:12:32
  But that experience is going to happen to you
• 1:12:34
  on the spot. Hallelujah. How will it happen?
• 1:12:38
  By the ability of the Holy Ghost in you. So the
• 1:12:43
  Holy Ghost inside you is not coming to begin
• 1:12:48
  a day. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. He said, you're
• 1:12:52
  not learning it. Then they will now write a quiz
• 1:12:55
  and you get zero. If you are from my kind of
• 1:12:57
  primary school, they will now put E on the zero.
• 1:13:00
  You know, and put big, big I. So that the thing
• 1:13:02
  will pay you. You will not be afraid to take
• 1:13:09
  it home. Because you know, when you take it home,
• 1:13:12
  You know what you will receive back? No, no,
• 1:13:17
  no, no, no, no, no. That's not the kind of experience.
• 1:13:20
  What Jesus was saying or he's saying is that
• 1:13:23
  you're going to receive it. It will be given
• 1:13:26
  to you and you will receive it and you will what?
• 1:13:29
  You will act on it. Simple. Hallelujah. That's
• 1:13:33
  uncommon. Novel. It comes to you and it's not
• 1:13:36
  to be learned. You know, when I was in the university,
• 1:13:40
  there was a place, I will not say the name of
• 1:13:42
  the church. When you go there, they say school
• 1:13:45
  of tongues and something, something. When you
• 1:13:47
  go there, they say shabalaga, shabalaga. Everybody
• 1:13:49
  will do shabalaga, shabalaga. Okay, let's say,
• 1:13:53
  let's do it. That's human tongues. It's not the
• 1:14:15
  Holy Ghost. That is human giving men utterance.
• 1:14:26
  Praise God. The kind we are speaking about is
• 1:14:29
  the one that is not learned. That's why when
• 1:14:33
  I was speaking yesterday with my sister here.
• 1:14:36
  Sorry, I have to keep this. You know we're going
• 1:14:39
  to pray more today in tongues, right? You know,
• 1:14:41
  right? Yes. I love you. I'm going to walk closely
• 1:14:46
  with you. You and the other sister. Two of you
• 1:14:50
  are going to walk closely. Today, all of us are
• 1:14:54
  ministry partners. Praise God. Hallelujah. Are
• 1:15:04
  we reading that? So hence, they were all filled
• 1:15:07
  with what? With the Holy Ghost. So what was happening?
• 1:15:09
  In Acts chapter 2 verse 4, it's supernatural.
• 1:15:11
  Praise God. Never natural. Have you seen yesterday
• 1:15:15
  I said something? All that we've discussed from
• 1:15:17
  Pastor Fred, to Pastor Victor, to Pastor Emmanuel,
• 1:15:21
  to now. Have you seen anything natural about
• 1:15:23
  it? All of them are what? Supernatural. Salvation,
• 1:15:28
  supernatural. Laying on of hands, supernatural.
• 1:15:32
  Yesterday, Pastor Emmanuel introduced supernatural.
• 1:15:36
  Amen? We are building. Supernatural. The life
• 1:15:39
  of the believer is what? Supernatural. So we
• 1:15:47
  see in Acts chapter 2. Let's go there. The people
• 1:15:50
  that were present there. The people that were
• 1:15:53
  present there. In Acts chapter 2. Are we all
• 1:15:58
  here? In Acts chapter 2. Acts chapter 2 verse
• 1:16:12
  5. And they were all dwelling at what? Jerusalem.
• 1:16:17
  Devote men out of every nation under what? Heaven.
• 1:16:20
  Now when this was noise I brought them all two
• 1:16:21
  came together and they were confounded because
• 1:16:23
  that every man what? Had them speak in his own
• 1:16:26
  language and they were all amazed and marveled
• 1:16:28
  saying one to another behold another all these
• 1:16:30
  which speak Galileans and how here we man in
• 1:16:32
  our own language wherein we were born. 9 now.
• 1:16:36
  Are we all there? We're going to stop at 11.
• 1:16:39
  Patience. Medes, Elamites, dwellers in Mesopotamia
• 1:16:44
  and in Judea, Cappadocia, in Pontus and in Asia,
• 1:16:48
  Phrygia, Pamphylia, in Egypt and in the parts
• 1:16:52
  of Libya, about Cyrene, strangers of Rome, Jews
• 1:16:56
  and what? Proselyte, Cretans, Arabians, we do
• 1:16:59
  hear them speak in our own words, tongues, the
• 1:17:02
  wonderful works of who? Of God. So we see all
• 1:17:07
  of these people, we see the Jews, are what? Proselytes.
• 1:17:12
  So, what do we see? Who are proselytes? Just
• 1:17:15
  quickly learn it so that you write it because
• 1:17:17
  it may not be part of the book. Let's write it
• 1:17:19
  so that it will help us. So that as it's coming
• 1:17:23
  to my heart, whether you're from a Pentecostal
• 1:17:26
  church or you're from Protestant or Orthodox
• 1:17:29
  or any part of the branching, everyone ought
• 1:17:36
  to speak in tongues. Hallelujah. Praise God.
• 1:17:40
  Because it's scripture. Amen? Amen? So who are
• 1:17:45
  proselytes? Proselytes are non -Jews who converted.
• 1:17:52
  Right? They are what? They are non -Jews. Who
• 1:17:56
  what? Who converted. They learned the Jewish
• 1:18:00
  language. Right? And they now were converted.
• 1:18:05
  So in essence, they naturalized. So you have
• 1:18:10
  learned Turkish language, learned Turkish language,
• 1:18:12
  learned Turkish language, you can speak it now.
• 1:18:15
  Then one of these days, you make up your mind
• 1:18:17
  to naturalize. Because you don't like what you're
• 1:18:21
  hearing about your country. It will never change
• 1:18:24
  because I had that, what had been happening many,
• 1:18:27
  many years, even before we came. So it's a system,
• 1:18:31
  it's a cycle. So they are converts, right? They
• 1:18:38
  are converts to the Jewish faith. So, we now
• 1:18:44
  see that this event that happened and we see
• 1:18:48
  everybody gathered. Are we all here? In Acts
• 1:18:54
  chapter 2, it's not that these men had them speaking
• 1:18:58
  some sort of languages or their own native language,
• 1:19:03
  right? So what we see that all these nations
• 1:19:08
  that are listed were referenced to different
• 1:19:10
  places of the residence of Jews. You understand
• 1:19:13
  why? All these places. It's not that we have,
• 1:19:17
  where is it from? Patians, Medes, Elamites, dwellers
• 1:19:24
  in Mesopotamia, Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus, Asia.
• 1:19:29
  No, no, no, no. It's giving different locations
• 1:19:32
  where the Jews were what? were settled. Because
• 1:19:36
  at this point now, because they came at the day
• 1:19:38
  of Pentecost, right? Yeah, they were all gathered
• 1:19:42
  at the day of what? Pentecost. So all of them
• 1:19:45
  came back for celebration. Praise God. So and
• 1:19:48
  from the different locations where all of them,
• 1:19:50
  you know, so this gathering were just a gathering
• 1:19:53
  of Jews and proselytes. Proselytes are what?
• 1:19:56
  Converts. Amen? So everybody, so they didn't
• 1:19:59
  only learn Jewish language, but they also embraced
• 1:20:02
  Jewish traditions. Right? So everybody came back
• 1:20:06
  home for the what? For the day of what? Pentecost.
• 1:20:11
  Amen? And they were all gathered. So that is
• 1:20:15
  why now you will see, for example, right? In
• 1:20:18
  Acts chapter 2 verse 14, but Peter standing up
• 1:20:21
  with the eleven, lifted up his voice and said
• 1:20:23
  unto them, Ye men of what? Judea and all ye that
• 1:20:28
  dwell at Jerusalem. Be... These known unto you
• 1:20:34
  and hearken to my what? And hearken to my what?
• 1:20:38
  Words. He said, yea, men of Israel. Hear these
• 1:20:44
  words. See Acts chapter 2 verse 22. See 22. Yea,
• 1:20:49
  men of Israel. Hear these words. He was addressing
• 1:20:54
  all of them, Jews. Yea, men of Israel. Jesus
• 1:20:58
  of Nazareth, a man approved of God way. Among
• 1:21:02
  you. In 29. Acts 2 29. Men and what? Brethren.
• 1:21:11
  He addressed them as what? Brethren. That word
• 1:21:16
  brethren means we have done it here. Right? Adelphos.
• 1:21:21
  Which implies from the same womb. From the same
• 1:21:26
  lineage. So Peter will rise and address all of
• 1:21:30
  them. Ye men of what? He said, my people, brethren.
• 1:21:35
  He said, my own. So we see all of them that were
• 1:21:41
  gathered were what? Jews. They came back home.
• 1:21:46
  Hallelujah. So the audience that we see that
• 1:21:49
  were around the 120 were what? Were Jews. Praise
• 1:21:54
  God. Hallelujah. Are we all here? Just a minute,
• 1:22:11
  please. Let me just establish something. I need
• 1:22:38
  to check my notes. Okay. So now, when we see
• 1:22:52
  now, we stop at, he was talking about brethren,
• 1:22:57
  right? Adelphos. Are we all there? Are we all
• 1:23:00
  there? Perfect now. So we say that the men that
• 1:23:03
  gathered all around at the day of Pentecost,
• 1:23:05
  right, were Jews and proselytes. So the different
• 1:23:08
  places that were mentioned, what he was talking
• 1:23:10
  about, they are what? Their location. Where all
• 1:23:12
  of them were. Yemen of Israel. men and brethren,
• 1:23:15
  to address them as his own people. Right? So,
• 1:23:20
  but question is, how is it that they say that
• 1:23:22
  we heard them speak in our own words, in our
• 1:23:25
  own language, in our own tongue? Amen? Yeah,
• 1:23:31
  so, what happened? 1 Corinthians 14 verse 2,
• 1:23:35
  we say, for he that speaketh, we've read it,
• 1:23:37
  1 Corinthians 14 verse 2. We say, for he that
• 1:23:40
  speaketh in an unknown tongue, You see, when
• 1:23:55
  Luke wrote this, he didn't tell us that there
• 1:23:58
  was an interpreter that interpreted what was
• 1:24:01
  said. The people just, he just wrote that they
• 1:24:05
  all said, these people are speaking, we hear
• 1:24:08
  them speak in our own words. In our own language.
• 1:24:12
  And what they are saying is that they are declaring
• 1:24:14
  the what? The wonderful works of who? The wonderful
• 1:24:17
  works of God. So now, it's important for us.
• 1:24:24
  And we've read 1 Corinthians 14 verse 5. Let's
• 1:24:27
  go there everybody. Please don't lose the line
• 1:24:31
  of thought because we are talking about tongues.
• 1:24:36
  1 Corinthians 14 verse 5. I would that ye all
• 1:24:40
  speak with what? With tongues. But rather that
• 1:24:43
  ye what? Prophesy. For greater is he that prophesied
• 1:24:46
  than he that speaketh with what? With tongues.
• 1:24:49
  Except he interprets. Who interprets? The speaker.
• 1:24:55
  That the church may receive what? Edification.
• 1:25:01
  So, we now see. Are we all there? Are we all
• 1:25:05
  there? So we now see now, when Peter stood up
• 1:25:07
  now, have you read 1 Corinthians 14 now? For
• 1:25:10
  he that prayed in other tongues should also what?
• 1:25:14
  Interpret the tongues so that the church can
• 1:25:15
  be what? Edified, right? Acts now, let's go back
• 1:25:18
  to Acts chapter 2. And then now let's see what
• 1:25:21
  Peter will rise and say in Acts chapter 2 verse
• 1:25:27
  14. But this is that which was spoken by prophet
• 1:25:45
  Joel. Joel 2 .28 Joel 2 .28 Joel 2 .28. I will
• 1:26:08
  there. See Joel 2 .28. He said that this was
• 1:26:12
  what was spoken by prophet what? A fulfillment
• 1:26:15
  of what prophet Joel spoke. And he came and he
• 1:26:19
  shall come to pass after what? After what? That
• 1:26:23
  I'll pour out of my spirit upon all flesh. and
• 1:26:25
  your sons and daughters shall what? Prophesy
• 1:26:28
  your old men shall, your young men shall, and
• 1:26:33
  also upon the servants and upon the handmaids
• 1:26:35
  in those days will I pour out of my what? Spirit.
• 1:26:40
  Amen? So now, having said that, now let's go
• 1:26:45
  back to Acts so that we continue reading our
• 1:26:47
  conversation. In Acts chapter 2 now. He said,
• 1:26:53
  but this is that which was spoken by who? By
• 1:26:56
  prophet Joel. Right? And when we go to 17. And
• 1:27:00
  it shall come to pass in the last days. Is that
• 1:27:03
  what was spoken? Said God, I will pour out of
• 1:27:05
  my spirit upon all flesh. And your sons and daughters
• 1:27:09
  shall. And your young men shall see visions.
• 1:27:12
  And your old men shall dream dreams. And upon
• 1:27:14
  my servants and upon my handmaidens. I will pour
• 1:27:16
  out in those days out of my spirit. And they
• 1:27:19
  shall what? Prophesy. So what do we see, right?
• 1:27:24
  Is that what? By the Spirit of God, all these
• 1:27:28
  are made possible. Praise God. Hallelujah. So
• 1:27:31
  the how of prophecy, right? You know, he said,
• 1:27:35
  they shall prophesy. So we now see tongues and
• 1:27:40
  interpretation of tongues. We are coming to it
• 1:27:43
  now, clearly now. You know, I told us to write
• 1:27:45
  somewhere. There's somewhere that you wrote tongues
• 1:27:47
  plus interpretation is equal to what? Prophecy.
• 1:27:50
  You wrote it somewhere, right? Good. Perfect.
• 1:27:53
  So, we see that what? Tongues. We see prophecy,
• 1:27:57
  right? Or we see tongues and interpretation of
• 1:27:59
  tongues becoming what? Prophecy. From where we
• 1:28:04
  read in 1 Corinthians chapter 14. Don't worry.
• 1:28:07
  We'll be going back there and becoming. We'll
• 1:28:09
  be going back there. I will that, verse 5, that
• 1:28:13
  ye all speak with what? But rather that ye So
• 1:28:27
  tongues and interpretation of tongues is what?
• 1:28:31
  That the church may be what? So every time prophecy
• 1:28:34
  is given, it's so that we are what? Edified.
• 1:28:39
  Every time tongues and interpretation of tongues
• 1:28:41
  comes, it's so that we are what? Edified. So
• 1:28:45
  do you see why I said? Tongues and interpretation
• 1:28:47
  of tongues is prophecy. Are we all clear? Are
• 1:28:51
  we all clear? Okay, praise God. Hallelujah. So
• 1:28:55
  we now see that after saying all these things,
• 1:28:58
  then it will be that on that day of Pentecost,
• 1:29:02
  where the 120 were gathered, right? And they
• 1:29:07
  spoke in tongues, both men and women, and they
• 1:29:11
  heard them declaring the works of God. What will
• 1:29:15
  be happening? There will be tongues and what?
• 1:29:18
  Interpretation of what? Of tongues. You know,
• 1:29:21
  we read from 1 Corinthians 14 that the one that
• 1:29:24
  speaks in tongues should also interpret the word
• 1:29:27
  so that the hearers are what? Edified. Praise
• 1:29:32
  God. So now, on that day in Acts chapter 2, the
• 1:29:37
  Jews or the men of Israel, as they heard first,
• 1:29:40
  they said they were confounded. Right? But later
• 1:29:43
  on, they say, oh, we heard them speak in our
• 1:29:46
  own what? Language. And what they are saying,
• 1:29:50
  they are declaring the what? Oh, glory. Oh, they
• 1:29:54
  are declaring the wonderful works of God. We
• 1:29:57
  can hear them declaring it. The hearers are now
• 1:30:01
  what? Edified. On the first, they were confounded.
• 1:30:05
  But later on, they are edified. Hallelujah. Why?
• 1:30:08
  Because interpretation what? Has taken precedence.
• 1:30:14
  So we see. What Christ has said. They shall speak
• 1:30:20
  with what? With new tongues. Happening in Acts
• 1:30:22
  chapter 2. But much more was also happening.
• 1:30:26
  That they were not only speaking in tongues.
• 1:30:29
  But they were also what? Interpreting the tongues.
• 1:30:32
  Hallelujah. Can you say I speak in tongues? I
• 1:30:36
  also interpret the tongues. And the church is
• 1:30:39
  edified. Say, I bring edification. I bring edification
• 1:30:43
  to my brothers and sisters. Hallelujah. Praise
• 1:30:48
  God. Are we all here? Are we all here? So having
• 1:30:52
  said all these things now, who should speak in
• 1:30:55
  tongues? Answer. Huh? All? Okay, now. Further.
• 1:31:02
  I love this class. I love this class. All believers.
• 1:31:06
  Right? Because we see. The 120, all of them did
• 1:31:10
  what? Spoke in tongues. None was missing. Praise
• 1:31:14
  God. None was what? Was led. So who should speak
• 1:31:19
  in other tongues? And we say, how many believers?
• 1:31:23
  And you see, when they were there, in Acts chapter
• 1:31:27
  1, let's go to Acts chapter 1. Me, I think these
• 1:31:32
  tongues is only for men. I think it's for pastors.
• 1:31:35
  You know, the way I saw Pastor Fred was praying.
• 1:31:37
  I know this thing must be a special gift. This
• 1:31:42
  all continued with one accord. Acts chapter 1
• 1:31:44
  verse 14. This all continued with one accord
• 1:31:46
  in prayer and supplication. With who? With who?
• 1:31:52
  With who? With the women and Mary, the mother
• 1:31:57
  of who? And with his what? And with his brethren.
• 1:32:03
  Hallelujah. Was there anyone left? Was there
• 1:32:08
  in Acts chapter 2 verse 1. And when the day of
• 1:32:10
  Pentecost was fully come. They were all. They
• 1:32:14
  were all. They were all. Men and women were all.
• 1:32:20
  All of them spoke in tongues. All of them interpreted.
• 1:32:24
  Hallelujah. And the audience had them declare
• 1:32:27
  the wonderful works of God. And through your
• 1:32:30
  mouth today. The wonderful works of God will
• 1:32:32
  also be declared. Praise God. Praise God. Praise
• 1:32:37
  God. Praise God. You see that place in Mark chapter
• 1:32:42
  16. There was no place where Christ said some
• 1:32:46
  set of special people are going to speak in new
• 1:32:48
  tongues. He said in my name and this I shall
• 1:32:51
  follow them that what? That believe in my name
• 1:32:54
  they shall cast out devils. They shall speak
• 1:32:56
  with what? Who are the day? Who are the day?
• 1:33:01
  Who are believers? Who are believers? Huh? Me,
• 1:33:07
  yes. Who will believe us again? All, all, all,
• 1:33:10
  all. Same men and women. Everybody. Yes, me,
• 1:33:16
  yes. Me, you. But now you don't understand what's
• 1:33:19
  happening. But in a short time you will understand.
• 1:33:25
  Now he can only say me. He does not know what
• 1:33:27
  the me is. You know. His brother is saying yeah,
• 1:33:33
  yeah, yeah. So. They don't understand what's
• 1:33:36
  happening. But somebody like exploit understandings.
• 1:33:41
  Praise God. Hallelujah. Somebody like what? Exploit.
• 1:33:51
  You know, yesterday I was praying for her and
• 1:33:53
  I was telling her somewhere there. I said, when
• 1:33:55
  you see your friends, you know you can lay hands
• 1:33:58
  on them and get them filled with the Spirit of
• 1:34:00
  God. And so I was praying for her here. I was
• 1:34:05
  also telling her, praise God. Some of you are
• 1:34:13
  coming late, but you came early at the same time.
• 1:34:17
  Because as you're hearing it now, it's so that
• 1:34:20
  you can correct things later. Paul told Timothy,
• 1:34:25
  he said, from your young age, from tender age,
• 1:34:30
  those things that you have been taught, those
• 1:34:32
  things that you have learned, From what? From
• 1:34:35
  tender age. So which means that from a young
• 1:34:41
  age we can learn these things. You're a father
• 1:34:45
  here. You're a mother here. Right? It's not always
• 1:34:49
  cocoa melon. Cocoa, cocoa. Giddy, giddy, giddy,
• 1:34:53
  giddy. Giddy, giddy, giddy, giddy. He said this
• 1:34:56
  is what they want. No, that's not what they want.
• 1:34:58
  They want the things of the Holy Ghost. She has
• 1:35:05
  attended how many catatismos now? Four catatismos.
• 1:35:13
  Yeah, she was like the other brother. You see,
• 1:35:21
  they are coming to catatismos now. I saw Tito
• 1:35:22
  this morning. I told him, we miss you. He says,
• 1:35:27
  no, no, no. When we start to tell them now, you
• 1:35:30
  know, it's too early. Well, lying with Satan
• 1:35:36
  is from the womb. And the better, the faster
• 1:35:44
  you know, the better for you. If you're online
• 1:35:47
  and you're hearing me, you have children and
• 1:35:49
  say, it's too early. Let them reach to the age
• 1:35:52
  of accountability. Oh, they will be accountable
• 1:35:55
  to Satan by then. Praise God. From young age.
• 1:36:03
  Introduce them into it. Amen. So all of them
• 1:36:09
  spoke in tongues. All of them spoke in what?
• 1:36:13
  In tongues. All with one accord in one place.
• 1:36:18
  Acts chapter 2 verse 1. And suddenly all of them.
• 1:36:22
  That word all of them. Means all of them. Verse
• 1:36:26
  4 said. And they were what? Only the men were
• 1:36:30
  filled. Is that what the scripture says? Only
• 1:36:32
  the women were free. Is that what the scripture
• 1:36:33
  says? How many of them? All of them spoke. And
• 1:36:40
  all of them interpreted it. How do I know? How
• 1:36:46
  did I know? Go to Acts chapter 2. Let's see it.
• 1:36:50
  How? Are we all in Acts chapter 2? Acts chapter
• 1:36:58
  2 verse 7. And they were all amazed, marveling,
• 1:37:01
  saying one to another, Behold, are not what?
• 1:37:05
  All these. See verse 6. Now when this was noise
• 1:37:14
  abroad, the multitude came together and were
• 1:37:16
  confronted because that how many people? Every
• 1:37:19
  man had his own what? Language. And they were
• 1:37:23
  all amazed and marveling, saying one to another,
• 1:37:25
  Behold, are not what? All these which speak what?
• 1:37:30
  And see verse 8, everybody. Then how here we
• 1:37:35
  what? Every man. All of them. Every one of them.
• 1:37:45
  So in this room today, every one of us, we have
• 1:37:49
  the ability to interpret tongues. Hallelujah.
• 1:37:52
  We have the ability to prophesy. It's in our
• 1:37:55
  spirits. Are we all here? So who should speak
• 1:38:04
  in tongues? Believers. Who should speak in tongues?
• 1:38:07
  All. Who should speak in tongues? All believers.
• 1:38:14
  No disciple of Jesus should be exempted from
• 1:38:17
  speaking in tongues. Do you hear what I said?
• 1:38:20
  Know what? Let me say it this way. Let me modify
• 1:38:24
  it. No disciple of Jesus should be exempted from
• 1:38:28
  the things of the Spirit. Let me make it better.
• 1:38:32
  No one should be exempted. Every one of us. The
• 1:38:37
  scripture says that we are drunk of the same
• 1:38:39
  spirit. Hallelujah. Every one of us. Are we all
• 1:38:46
  here? Are we all here? Praise God. Praise God.
• 1:39:02
  So, did Paul speak in tongues? Because as he
• 1:39:06
  is writing like this, did he speak in tongues?
• 1:39:08
  Because it's important to note. Amen? But before
• 1:39:28
  we go to that, Amen. Okay, we'll do that later.
• 1:39:35
  1 Corinthians 14, 18. 1 Corinthians 18. Who should
• 1:39:44
  speak in tongues? All believers should speak
• 1:39:48
  in tongues. Amen. Is that clear to everybody?
• 1:39:51
  Is that clear to everybody? Okay, 1 Corinthians
• 1:39:54
  14, verse 18. I was 18. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
• 1:40:00
  I thank my God. I speak with what? I speak with
• 1:40:05
  what? I speak with tongues. More than what? I
• 1:40:09
  think we had that on... Was it Sunday? Was it
• 1:40:21
  Tuesday? Was Tuesday? You see sir, this week
• 1:40:26
  has been supernatural. That everybody is mixing
• 1:40:29
  the days. All the days are looking alike. I thank
• 1:40:34
  my God. I speak with tongues more than what?
• 1:40:38
  So what will that statement tell us about Paul?
• 1:40:42
  Huh? C19. Yet in the church, I had rather speak
• 1:40:48
  what? Five words with my what? Understanding.
• 1:40:51
  That by my voice I might teach others also. And
• 1:40:54
  10 ,000 words in and what? Unknown tongues. So
• 1:40:56
  that tells us about Paul's private life and also
• 1:40:59
  what? His public life. Praise God. That oh boy,
• 1:41:04
  this man speaks, he prays in tongues. Hallelujah.
• 1:41:08
  That he what? That he prays in what? In tongues.
• 1:41:12
  Acts chapter 19 verse 6. Acts chapter 19 verse
• 1:41:16
  6. Acts chapter 19 verse 6. And when Paul had
• 1:41:25
  laid his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost what?
• 1:41:29
  Came on them and they spoke with what? With tongues
• 1:41:34
  and what? And prophesied. From verse 4. Then
• 1:41:40
  said Paul, John verily baptized with what? With
• 1:41:45
  the baptism of what? Repentance. Saying unto
• 1:41:49
  the people that they should believe on him that
• 1:41:51
  shall come after him. That is on Christ Jesus.
• 1:41:54
  When they had this, they were baptized in the
• 1:41:56
  name of who? The name of the Lord Jesus. And
• 1:42:01
  when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy
• 1:42:03
  Ghost came on them and they spoke with what?
• 1:42:06
  Can you see? And they spoke with what? With tongues
• 1:42:10
  and words. So, we'll keep reading places in Acts
• 1:42:14
  of the Apostles. You'll be seeing tongues, prophecy.
• 1:42:16
  Tongues, prophecy. Tongues, declaration of God's
• 1:42:19
  wonderful works. Tongues. Everywhere you're seeing
• 1:42:22
  tongues, you'll be seeing interpretation of tongues.
• 1:42:24
  Or once you see prophecy, know that that tongue
• 1:42:27
  has been what? Interpreted. Hallelujah. Praise
• 1:42:30
  God. Hallelujah. So what we see in this Acts
• 1:42:35
  chapter 19 is a conversation of certain disciples
• 1:42:38
  of John. Praise God. Amen. And then we see Paul
• 1:42:42
  now laying hands on them. Now bringing what Pastor
• 1:42:45
  Victor has taught. That we can receive the baptism.
• 1:42:48
  Right? with the Holy Ghost by laying on of what?
• 1:42:53
  Of hands. And Paul, we read this place during
• 1:42:57
  his teaching. Amen? Paul laid hands on them.
• 1:43:00
  And what happened to them? What happened to them?
• 1:43:04
  What happened to them? Yeah, they spoke in tongues.
• 1:43:08
  And also what? Every time, let me teach us this.
• 1:43:12
  Every time you are saying, speaking in tongues,
• 1:43:15
  take it further, much more. Say what? And prophecy.
• 1:43:19
  Praise God. Every time you say tongues, always
• 1:43:22
  add what? Prophecy. Every time, I'm saying this,
• 1:43:26
  everywhere you go on this earth, I'm saying this
• 1:43:30
  now because that is to set the posture of our
• 1:43:33
  heart. Every time you say tongues, every time
• 1:43:36
  you think tongues, the next thing should be what?
• 1:43:40
  Prophecy. Interpretation of that tongues. Why?
• 1:43:43
  So that edification will what? Will come. Amen?
• 1:43:47
  Are we all here? So now, 1 Corinthians 14 now.
• 1:43:56
  1 Corinthians 14. We are going to dwell on this
• 1:43:58
  now in detail. So this is where we will now talk
• 1:44:10
  in detail now to clarify some things much more
• 1:44:14
  about tongues. So all this while, what have we
• 1:44:16
  been talking about? Tongues. Hallelujah. In fact,
• 1:44:20
  if we close here, you already have full knowledge
• 1:44:22
  about what we're about doing. Amen? Praise God.
• 1:44:26
  1 Corinthians 14, verse 2 now. Well, let's start
• 1:44:37
  reading from verse 1, everybody, so that we can
• 1:44:39
  have a huge context because it's going to be
• 1:44:41
  a long reading. Follow after what? Charity and
• 1:44:45
  desire and desire. spiritual gifts, but rather
• 1:44:50
  that ye may what? Prophesy. For he that speaketh
• 1:44:54
  in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but
• 1:44:56
  unto God. For no man understandeth him, howbeit
• 1:44:59
  in the spirit he speaketh what? He speaketh mysteries.
• 1:45:05
  Right? You remember we said tongues is not a
• 1:45:07
  regular language, right? It's an elevated what?
• 1:45:11
  Discussion. Are we all here? Are we all here?
• 1:45:15
  Yes. So, and it's not only that. Where we read
• 1:45:18
  about 1 Corinthians 14, that Paul talked about
• 1:45:21
  in 18, I thank my God that I speak with tongues
• 1:45:25
  more than ye all, just tells us that tongues
• 1:45:27
  should be a regular activity of the believer's
• 1:45:30
  life. Hallelujah. It should be what? For Paul
• 1:45:35
  to come to this point, where he could say, I
• 1:45:37
  thank my God I pray in tongues more than ye all,
• 1:45:39
  it ought to be what? His regular what? Activity.
• 1:45:45
  Don't be afraid. Don't be afraid. In your room,
• 1:45:50
  pray in tongues. On the street, pray in tongues.
• 1:45:56
  In your quiet time, pray in tongues. Everywhere
• 1:45:59
  you are, pray in what? Pray in tongues. Say,
• 1:46:04
  I don't know what I'm speaking. You're going
• 1:46:05
  to know what you're speaking in a bit. Pray in
• 1:46:07
  what? Pray in tongues. It's not my words. It's
• 1:46:13
  the scripture. How be it you don't speak to men?
• 1:46:17
  You speak unto who? Unto God. Are we all here?
• 1:46:24
  Are we all here? So, that word speaketh. That
• 1:46:32
  word speaketh. For he. that speaketh. Well, let's
• 1:46:49
  start picking it from the beginning, actually.
• 1:46:51
  We already have done a word study yesterday about
• 1:46:54
  for. You remember for? You remember for? What
• 1:46:58
  is for? What for? God. Praise God. And we say,
• 1:47:03
  what does it imply? Eh? Yes. Thank you. Reason.
• 1:47:08
  Explanation. Right? Good. So, when we see verse
• 1:47:12
  2, we say, for he that What is that place supposed
• 1:47:16
  to mean? That what is happening? What are we
• 1:47:20
  learning from there? Read verse 1 and then verse
• 1:47:25
  2. Thank you, sir. The reason for what? For the
• 1:47:33
  end of what? The communication from verse 1.
• 1:47:35
  Right? Okay. So, don't worry. We are coming to
• 1:47:41
  verse 1 and we are going to deal with it. Amen?
• 1:48:01
  Yes. So, we said that word for, we've handled
• 1:48:06
  it, right? Yes. So, regarding what? So, we said
• 1:48:09
  now. For he, that word, speaketh. Are we all
• 1:48:14
  here? Are we all here? That word he, it means
• 1:48:17
  we have done it too yesterday. Right? Yes. So,
• 1:48:21
  ho, H -O, the word he in verse 1. In verse 2,
• 1:48:28
  sorry. That word he, oh, it implies the one,
• 1:48:32
  a particular person. Right? For that particular
• 1:48:36
  person that speaketh in what? In an unknown tongue.
• 1:48:40
  And we know the he here. Who is the he? Who is
• 1:48:43
  the he? The believer. Praise God. Hallelujah.
• 1:48:48
  Good, that's perfect now. We are all here. So,
• 1:48:54
  the word speaketh. which we have already treated,
• 1:48:58
  is lalio. You remember we talked about glossolalia,
• 1:49:01
  right? Yeah, so the word spigot is lalio. Lalia,
• 1:49:05
  lalio. Which means natural and regular actions.
• 1:49:13
  It's used for speaking. Speaking, lalio, speaking.
• 1:49:18
  Right? It's for what? Speaking. For the man,
• 1:49:23
  that what? That speaks. A regular action. Regular
• 1:49:30
  speaking. You see, tongues ought to be regular.
• 1:49:34
  Praise God. Can you say I regularly speak in
• 1:49:37
  tongues? Say I regularly speak in tongues and
• 1:49:41
  I prophesy. Hallelujah. That's our reality. So
• 1:49:51
  now, we now see from that now, speaker, we know
• 1:49:55
  the believer is the one that ought to be what?
• 1:49:58
  Are we all here? Are we all here? So, because
• 1:50:01
  you now see also in verse 5. See verse 5 now.
• 1:50:04
  I would that ye all speak with what? With tongues.
• 1:50:07
  But rather that ye what? Prophesy. For greater
• 1:50:10
  is what? He that prophesied and he that speaketh
• 1:50:14
  what? With tongues. Except he what? Who should
• 1:50:19
  interpret? The man that is what? Speaking in
• 1:50:23
  tongues. That the church may be what? May be?
• 1:50:27
  Edified. Hallelujah. So what we see, Paul will
• 1:50:31
  say in verse 5. See the starting of verse 5.
• 1:50:33
  I will that ye all. If it's your Bible on the
• 1:50:37
  line, the word all. You see, he still says what?
• 1:50:39
  All. We established that from Acts chapter 2.
• 1:50:42
  All of them spoke. All of them interpreted. All
• 1:50:45
  of them. They had them declaring the works of
• 1:50:47
  what? The wonderful works of the Lord. Amen.
• 1:50:50
  And we see Paul again writing in verse 5. I will
• 1:50:53
  that how many people? all speak with what? With
• 1:50:59
  tongues. So all of us ought to be speaking in
• 1:51:04
  tongues. So Paul is saying that all of us should
• 1:51:09
  be speaking in what? Tongues. Who? All the believers.
• 1:51:15
  In fact, that is the same thing he rendered in
• 1:51:18
  Acts chapter 14 verse 18. I thank my God that
• 1:51:22
  I speak in tongues more than what? Ye all. He
• 1:51:26
  wasn't saying that all were not speaking in tongues.
• 1:51:30
  That's not what Paul was trying to communicate.
• 1:51:33
  Paul was communicating his private life also
• 1:51:36
  to them. That even in my private life, I also
• 1:51:38
  do what? Speak in what? In tongues. Praise God.
• 1:51:47
  In 26, how is it then brethren, when ye come
• 1:51:50
  together, every one of you, Not two of you. Not
• 1:51:55
  three of you. Not four of you. How many of you?
• 1:51:58
  Verse 26. 1 Corinthians 14. Every one of you
• 1:52:03
  had a what? Had a what? Doctrine. Had a tongue.
• 1:52:09
  See the next thing. Had a revelation. Had an
• 1:52:13
  interpretation. Every one of you can do this.
• 1:52:20
  Every one of you. So which means every one of
• 1:52:27
  us has a psalm. Praise God. Every one of us have
• 1:52:30
  a tongue. Praise God. Every one of us has an
• 1:52:33
  interpretation. Praise God. In fact, you see
• 1:52:37
  the way he ended and say, let all things be done
• 1:52:40
  what? Unto edifying. Because every one of you
• 1:52:43
  has all these. So when you come and when you
• 1:52:47
  come to meet together, let everything be done
• 1:52:50
  unto what? Edification. Because inside me is
• 1:52:55
  all. Inside you is what? Is all. Inside her is
• 1:53:00
  what? Is all. Praise God. But he will say that
• 1:53:07
  because there's something he wants to adjust.
• 1:53:09
  We're going to come to it. Praise God. We're
• 1:53:12
  going to come to it and build on it. Amen. Are
• 1:53:15
  we all here? Are we all here? So we see 1 Corinthians
• 1:53:20
  14 .39. He said, wherefore brethren, convict
• 1:53:24
  what? To prophesy and forbid not what? To speak
• 1:53:29
  in tongues. So which means everybody should speak
• 1:53:31
  in tongues. Hallelujah. Everybody should what?
• 1:53:35
  Should speak in tongues. He was addressing the
• 1:53:41
  whole church. So no one should be excluded. No
• 1:53:47
  one. Because the church. Everyone in the church
• 1:53:51
  believed. So no one should be what? Should be
• 1:53:56
  excluded. Praise God. Hallelujah. Are we all
• 1:54:01
  here? Are we all here? So let's go back to verse
• 1:54:10
  2 again. Because we are talking tongues now.
• 1:54:18
  He said, for he that speaketh in an unknown tongue,
• 1:54:20
  speaketh not unto what? Not unto men. That word
• 1:54:25
  men, we already know who is the he, right? We
• 1:54:28
  already know the meaning of speaking, right?
• 1:54:31
  Laliu, right? Other words. We know it, right?
• 1:54:34
  We know the he there means who? The believer.
• 1:54:37
  Praise God. So that word men means anthropos.
• 1:54:43
  Generally for humanity. Anthropos. Anthropology.
• 1:54:48
  Anthropos. Humanity. So for he that speaketh
• 1:54:56
  in an unknown tongue, speaketh not unto anthropos.
• 1:55:00
  Not unto what? Humanity. So in other words, when
• 1:55:06
  a believer speaks in tongues, it's not addressed
• 1:55:08
  to anybody in humanity. Praise God. Now this
• 1:55:14
  is already answering questions in people's hearts.
• 1:55:17
  When you speak in tongues, you are not addressing
• 1:55:19
  any humanity. Hallelujah. In other words, when
• 1:55:25
  a believer speaks in tongues, it is not addressed
• 1:55:27
  to anybody in what? In humanity. It is not addressed
• 1:55:32
  to any anthropos. We are establishing a solid
• 1:55:38
  doctrine here. So let's pay attention to it.
• 1:55:43
  And the word God, he said, how be it? Right?
• 1:55:46
  He said, but unto who? But unto God. The word
• 1:55:51
  God was translated from the Greek word theos.
• 1:55:53
  T -H. Okay, did I say the spelling of Anthropos?
• 1:55:58
  A -N -T -H -R -O -P -O -S. A -N -T -H -R -O -P
• 1:56:05
  -O -S. That's Anthropos. And then the word God
• 1:56:08
  was translated from the Greek word theos. T -H
• 1:56:12
  -E -O -S. Which implies deity. Hallelujah. Divine
• 1:56:19
  deity. So in other words, when we put all this
• 1:56:24
  together, we will say, when the believer speaks
• 1:56:27
  in tongues, he creates an audience only with
• 1:56:30
  God, not with anthropos. Amen? So when we say
• 1:56:36
  speak in tongues, please, the first thing that
• 1:56:39
  should come to your head, then say, ah, now,
• 1:56:42
  if I now start speaking now. People will say,
• 1:56:45
  what am I saying? No, no, no, no, no. It's not
• 1:56:48
  what I'm saying. What we are establishing here
• 1:56:50
  is that you create an audience with God. That's
• 1:56:54
  that verse 2. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 2 says,
• 1:56:57
  For the believer that speaketh in tongues speaketh
• 1:57:03
  not unto humanity. Praise God. So what I'm saying
• 1:57:08
  in essence is that everywhere you are, including
• 1:57:12
  this location, When you start out, I'm not speaking
• 1:57:25
  to Pastor Victor. I'm not speaking to Pastor
• 1:57:27
  Frederick. I'm not speaking to Pastor Chidi.
• 1:57:29
  I'm not speaking to Samantha. I'm not speaking
• 1:57:31
  to any humanity. But unto who? But unto God.
• 1:57:39
  Every time you set out to pray in tongues, Know
• 1:57:43
  that you already have created an audience with
• 1:57:46
  who? With God. You remember we talked about tongues,
• 1:57:50
  right? It's an elevated what? Discussion. High
• 1:57:53
  -end discussion. This high -end discussion or
• 1:57:57
  elevated discussion first is a discussion between
• 1:58:00
  you and who? And God. Not with humanity. Is this
• 1:58:07
  clear? Is this clear? Do we understand where
• 1:58:10
  we're coming from? And where we are going now?
• 1:58:13
  Praise God. So, now, we now say, for no man understandeth
• 1:58:21
  him. For no man. So, for no humanity understandeth
• 1:58:27
  him. That word understand is the Greek word,
• 1:58:32
  A -K -O -U -O. Ako. A -K. A -K -O -U -O. A -K
• 1:58:42
  -O -U -O, which implies to comprehend. A -K -O
• 1:58:49
  -U -O, which implies to what? To comprehend.
• 1:58:53
  That means that no one can intelligently understand
• 1:58:59
  what you're saying. So the meaning of tongues
• 1:59:11
  cannot be understood from the sounds that are
• 1:59:14
  being uttered. The meaning of tongues cannot
• 1:59:19
  be understood from the sounds that are what?
• 1:59:21
  That are being uttered. This is important. Very
• 1:59:24
  important. The meaning of tongues cannot be understood
• 1:59:28
  from the sounds that are being what? Uttered.
• 1:59:31
  The word understand is what? It means to comprehend.
• 1:59:38
  So when the scripture says no man understand
• 1:59:40
  it, it means that what? It means that the mind
• 1:59:46
  cannot what? Intelligently what? Understand the
• 1:59:50
  sounds. Praise God. So let's go for a short break
• 1:59:52
  after which we'll build on this and then we'll
• 1:59:57
  quickly get into interpretation of tongues. Hallelujah.
