  Speaker 1: many as appear before the Lord in Zion. Someone is praying,
• 1:03

• 1:08
  Speaker 1: minute or two and just praying the spirit to prepare
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: the soil of my heart that as this world comes,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: it will fall on good ground.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Someone prays Atiba shatasaaaa rama shatakara.
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: Baa emotion kamaia yamaha in Jesus might name, We pray, Father,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: we asked that you speak to our hearts. Tonight, we
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: have come to be challenged, we have come to grow,
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: We have come to accent heights in the spirit, so
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: we can do more even for your glory. Therefore, we

• 2:09
  Speaker 2: that the spirit of the Living God.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Will find unrestrained access tonight to the glory of Jesus
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: the son Amen and Amen, please be seated.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: I was very inspired when I saw the theme for
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: the conference audacious, and I thought to myself, I take
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: my meetings very seriously. So I think and pray and
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: wonder if the people really mean what they send as
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: a team. Generally, and so I was very inspired hearing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: Pastor give the charge because the topics like this are
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: very deeper, like he said, than most people see.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: I hope tonight that as I take my session that
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: it will really learned.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Someone in the name of Jesus generally speak posits divine
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: realities in a man. He expects that the fullness of
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: that experience will come on the strength of understanding.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: Allelujah. For instance, the believer receives what you know as
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: eternal life, the life of God.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: At the moment where you confess the lordship of Jesus
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: based on the authority of Scripture, you become a bona
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: fide recipient of the life of God. But the experience
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: of that life is based on a thoroh understanding first
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of God his ways away together, and then the ability
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: to work in that experience. So you can find two
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: people saved by the same Lord and Christ, recipients of
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: the same quality of life, but their Christian experiences would
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: differ sometimes east from the west. The difference is not
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: in the quality of what they received, but that onraveling
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: the riches that comes with that life depends on knowledge.
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: Allelujah, Allelujah.
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: It is painful to know what should be and then
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: not have the knowledge to step into the experience of it.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: This was the case of the man at the pull
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: of Bethesda. He knew that there was potential for his healing.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: He knew that the resources for his healing were available.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: You see that, but there were gaps as far as
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: the steps for his healing to be maximized were concerned.
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: And just the gap of the absence of one man
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: made something that could happen in one minute to linger
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: for thirty eight years. When Jesus came and met him,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the man said, I have no man. This is my
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: only thing. I know where the water would be. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: know what should happen when I get in there. But
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the last step, the absence of a man, prolonged a
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: situation that could be solved within seconds. In fact, allelujah,
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: and prolonged that situation and made it thirty eight years.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: I'm praying that in the name of Jesus, there will
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: be the hearing of faith tonight and with it the
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: working of miracles. Amen and Amen, Romans fifteen and verse four.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: Let's start from there.
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: Romans fifteen and verse four. The Bible says, will media
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: help us? Okay? Thank you?
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Thank you media for whatsoever things were written before time kjv,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: which is my preferred If we have that, that would
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: be fine. Otherwise I'm okay with it. It says they
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: were written at four time.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Thank you.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Romans fifteen four. Thank you for whatsoever things were written
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: at four time. The Bible says they were written for
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: our learning. Pay attention now, so that we do.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: Patience and comfort of the scripture might find hope.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: So Paul is speaking to the church in Rome, and
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: he's giving them a very important information that everything you
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: see captured in scripture, that the intent behind it is
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: that it should school you.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Are we together, it is for our learning.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: These things were documented to help us learn to know
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: God and even to understand his ways. We'll be examining
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: Hebrews chapter eleven. I'll be teaching on the school of faith,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the school of faith, and let's call tonight part one.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: The school of Faith.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: The believers work in life and destiny will always demand
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: partnership with.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: The invisible realm.
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: God so designed the that man will not be able
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: to actualize destiny fulfill purpose to God's expectations outside of
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: his participation with the spirit realm allelujah. In fact, the
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Bible acknowledges that man came from the spirit realm allelujah,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: and so our work on the earth, leaving and then
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: fulfilling our destinies would always desire or demand that we
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: have this awareness that it is in partnership with God,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: in partnership with the realm of the Spirit, that we
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: ever succeed in this realm. This is very important. So
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: let's look at Hebrews chapter one. We read the first
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: four verses. But then we start with the first two verses.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: May I request that we read together? Ready one to
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: read Hebrews eleven and one media. You can correct that
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: back it's eleven and one media eleven.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: Okay, thank you. Read now.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Faith is the substance of things hoped for ahah, the
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: evidence of things not seen. Please read verse one again
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: one more time, the evidence of things not seen verse two,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: for by it the elders obtained a good report. So
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: let's now read three and four. These three now true faith.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: We understand that the worlds were framed by the word
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: of God, so that things which are seen were not
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: made of things which do appear. For it says by
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: by which he obtained witness that he was righteous God,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: testifying of his gifts, and that by it he being
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: dead yet speaking. May the Lord help us in the
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: name of Jesus Christ. A few things we have to
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: learn about the character of faith from de scripture, and
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: the first thing the Bible tells us is that faith
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: is verse one, the substance. The word substance there means
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: that tangibility, the substance of things. We can go back
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to verse one, my dear media people, the substance of
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: things hoped for, the substance of things hoped for. Then
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: it also calls it the evidence of the things that
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: are not seen.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: So the Bible.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Describes faith number one in relation to things. Please follow carefully.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: The first revelation of faith we see here from verse
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: one is as a reality in connection to things, the
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: substance of things and the.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: Evidence of things.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Now, but when we go to verse two we see
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: a very interesting addition that most people do not pay
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: attention to. The Bible now tells you that in addition
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: to things, faith is also connected.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: To a good report. Allelujah.
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: So he's given us an understanding about faith that faith
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: has a twofold assignment. Number one, it's assignment in connection
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: to things, and then number two, it's connection to a
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: good report.
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: The Bible says, by this faith the elder's obtained.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: So what the elders obtained were not just things beyond things,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: they also obtained a good report. Bible, faith does not
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: stop at obtaining things.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: That there is a higher layer.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Are we together now to the economy of faith that
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: at the end of your journey you should not just arrive.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: At obtaining things. You must have a good report.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: So faith from this scripture immediately tells us that faith
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: has two assignments. Number one to help the sains obtain
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: their desires, and then number.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Two to help the saints to have a good report.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: This is very powerful. Notice that most believers in our
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: study or understanding of faith will limit the operation of
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: faith to things. And that is right, but that is
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: not enough. Are we together?
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: So the average believer understands faith with respect to its
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: ability to obtain things, and that is true because the
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Bible leaves a provision for believers to use faith. For instance,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: the Bible says what things soever he desire? It says
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: when he prayed, that you believe that thou receivest them,
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: and thou shalt have them.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So we know that there is a place for receiving things.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: But the Bible tells us that the whole process of
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: faith should not just stop in obtaining things away following now,
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: it then means that every time we study faith, there
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: are two things we should be looking for.
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Its ability to deliver things and its ability to bring
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: the individuals who have a good report. And Hebrews goes
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: further to let us know that there are some times
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: that faith does not deliver things, but it must always
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: deliver a good report. In the workings of faith, a
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: good report is greater than obtaining things. Because when you
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: studied the entire discourse of all those who were called
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: the elders, some of them did not obtain things. But
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: the Bible says all of them obtained a good report,
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: and yet it.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: Called them elders. Are we together? Now? This is very important.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: So everywhere we study faith, we must seek to find
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: desires actualized. But then we must also seek to find
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: where reports were established. Therein lies the disappointment of many believers,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: because we have limited the understanding of faith to things,
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: and once we fail to obtain things through faith, we
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: feel disappointed. And sometimes even women of God will lack
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: the ability to explain to people why they seem to
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: have believed God, but the end of their journey did
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: not end up with getting things. When you understand the
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: way faith works, you will know that getting things is
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: a very is an inferior path of faith, that a
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: more superior approach to faith is obtaining a good report.
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: So by this understanding we see immediately that faith is
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: a platform, but faith is a journey.
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Allelujah.
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Faith is a platform that helps the believer to obtain
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: promises to actualized desires. But that more than a platform,
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: faith is also a journey, and that in that journey,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the end of it is not receiving things.
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: The end of it is having a testimony. There is something.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: The journey does not affect your hand, It affects you
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: your entire life.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: Listen. If you get what I'm teaching you, your.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: Christian experience will be solid and you will do things
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that only God can do.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: Let's now look at verse three. You will understand what
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: I said Hebrews one or Hebrews eleven.
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Now verse three.
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: Watch this, through faith, we understand that the worlds were
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: framed by the word of God, so that the things
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: that are.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: He says that it did not come from the things
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: that do appear. Verse four. Now verse four, it says
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: by faith, watch this.
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Now Abel offered onto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: Watch this by which he obtained weakness. What did he obtain?
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: He did not obtain things that he was a righteous man.
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: This was the end of his journey for him. Faith
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: was not a platform to receive things. The first example,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: are we together now? The first example of faith in
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the Bible. The Bible says he obtained witness that he
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: was righteous God testifying of his gifts, and that by
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: it even though he was dead. Yet his speaks that
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: the journey of Abel did something to him. He never
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: got anything physical, but he earned a place a good report.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Are we together now? And then you look at the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: next person? Very strangely? Verse five? Verse five? Now by faith.
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: The second example that the Bible gives us is the
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: man Enoch. Enoch was translated so that he should not
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: see death, and was not because God had translated him.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: And before his translation, again, what he had was not things.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: He had a testimony. This was his testimony that he
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: pleased God. Example number three, Are we following tonight? Verse six?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: Please gives us the third example that without faith it
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: is impossible to please him. For him that comment onto
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: God most believed that he is, and then he's the
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Next verse please,
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I want us to see the third example. The third
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: example is Noah. So are we following now? The first
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: example is Abel? Then Enoch then Noah, it says, by faith, Noah,
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: being warned of God.
• 17:45
  Speaker 2: Of things not seen as yet, moved with fear.
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: He prepared an act to the saving of his house,
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: and by the which he condemned the world and became
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: an heir of the right pace justness, which is by
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: faith Noah. Now verse eight, Now you see what happened
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: with Noah. The Bible says Noah did not receive anything,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: but he obtained a good report that he was a
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: righteous man, because when God wanted him.
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: He moved with fear.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: The first time from Hebrews eleven, we see promises, and
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: we see receiving, and we see inheritance started with the
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: man Abraham. Are we together by faith? Abraham, when he
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: was called, the Bible says, he went calling to a
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: place which he should go.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: After he received one inheritance. We now see obedience.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: And then, in fact, the Bible tells us it was
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: not everything God promised Abraham that he received on his
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: saw in his life, because the Bible would tell us
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: that this man did not obtain certain promises. So Bible
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: faith is not limited to receiving things. Are we following
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: the journey now that Bible faith should not just stop
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: in the realm of using it as a platform to
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: receive things. That faith is also the name given to
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: the journey that affects you more than you're receiving.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Allelujah.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Many people are not strong and audacious because they have
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: limited the operation of faith to only become a platform
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: that helps them receive things.
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: So there is faith for reports and then to obtain promises.
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: Let's look at Hebrews eleven, from verse thirty two down
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: to thirty five. This is very profound and bring simple
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: because I want everybody to follow along.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: And what shall I say more?
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: For time will fail me to tell of Gideon and
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Barak watch this now and Samson, and after of David
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: also and Samwel, and of the prophets were reading to
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: thirty five thirty three. Now who through faith, watch all
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the things that faith accomplished, subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtain promises,
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: stop them out of lions thirty four, Quench the violence
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: of fire, escape the edge of the sword. Out of weakness,
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: were made strong works valiant in fight, turned to flight
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: the armies of the aliens.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Now it switches dimensions in verse thirty five.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Women who received their dead to life again. Danny says
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: others were tortured not accepting deliverance that they might obtain
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: a better resurrection.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: You see that now.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: In fact, if we extended to verse thirty six, it
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: gives you a very, very very interesting perspective. Can we
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: add that thirty six Verse thirty six of Hebrews eleven,
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: it says and orders had the trial of cruel mockings
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: and scourgings and so on and so forth.
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: Look at these guys.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: The Bible is telling you that these people who went
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: through scourging, they were not receiving things.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: They were obtaining reports.
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: And the Bible adds all of them, and it calls
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: them elders, and it says all of them manifested faith.
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: That means if your faith just stops or is limited
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: to receiving things, there is a dimension of God's design
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: of faith that you may never step into. Are we
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: together now praise the name of the Lord. I've listened
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: to so many teachings about faith, blessed by them, but
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: I think this limitation in our understanding of faith has
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: affected our confidence, and it has dampened our audacity. We're
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: not able to face life because we have reduced faith
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: only to the realm, where it.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Is a platform that helps us to obtain things.
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: I wrote something here, and I wanted to listen and
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: then write that there is faith as a school, a
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: journey that helps you to know God in his various dimensions.
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: There is faith as a school, a journey that helps
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: you to know God in his various dimensions, and then
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: it gives you a noble report before God. There is
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: faith as a school. There is faith as a journey,
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: and that at the end of that journey, it is
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: not things that you receive. At the end of it,
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: there is an evolution that happens. You are the one
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: who is changed. You see that now your confidence is affected,
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: your perspective is affected. And then there is faith as
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: a plat form for making spiritual realities manifest. I like
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Second Timothy verse one and twelve. Second Timothy, Verse one
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: and twelve. Here's what it says. It says, but I
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: know whom I have believed, Second Timothy one twelve, And
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: I am persuaded, for.
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: I know whom I have believed is that in your Bible.
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: And I am persuaded that he is able to keep
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: that which I have committed onto him against that day.
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: Notice he did not say I have believed. He said
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: I know whom I have believed. The believing came lay down.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: But my encounter, my intimacy, I'm not just believing him.
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I know whom I have believed. Looks like what Jesus
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: was discussing with a woman at the well. He say,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: you worship what you know, not of you are just
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: worshiping as a ritual. But we have come into a
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: place of intimacy where we know the God that we believe, Allelujah.
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: Job thirteen and verse fifteen says, though he slay me,
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Job is speaking, yet will I trust him? Not? Just yet?
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Will I receive from him?
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Job was a man of faith, and he said, though
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: he slay me, yet, will I trust him?
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you that faith is not always about receiving.
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: Faith is also a tool that produces transformation, that helps
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the believer to know and become like God.
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: That in the economy of God, receiving is the lesser
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: part of faith.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: What faith does to you, the confidence it produces out
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: of you, the experience of God, it gives you, the
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: reports that you have before God, is a more superior
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: purpose to the whole subject of faith. Allelujah, prays the
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: name of the Lord. Everybody who begins his work with God.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: You see, when God.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Begins to journey with you two seasons, you are called
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: a man of faith, not by how many things you obtained,
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: but the experiences that you went through and the reports
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: that came out of those experiences. One of it, like
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Persal shared being a man of patience, that something about
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: God you should you wouldn't have known otherwise. I like
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: how the Psalmis puts it. YEA, though I walk through
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: the value of the shadow of death, he never said
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: you took me out. I walked through the value of
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the shadow of death. It says I will fear no evil.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Fear was not something he came into that experience with
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: or courage.
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: He came in with fear.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: But something happened as he began to confront that situation.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: He learned God through that situation, and his conclusion and
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: his report is that I have found out that distinct
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: does not have as much power as it looked before
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I got into that situation.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: One of the ways God makes.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: Us courageous is to create a scenario where we stand
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: before our fears for a long time long enough to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: deflate that fear, and you'll find out that it never
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: really had the power it proposed to have.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: So the believer generally uses faith for avoidance.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: We use faith quickly to prayer and say, Lord, you
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: are God, I'm speaking your ward.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: May I never get into this situation. This is what
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: I want. I describe it by faith, and that is
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: not right. That is not wrong.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: But I'm saying, when God is dealing with you, what
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: he seeks to produce out of you, a noble report
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: will demand that faith for you does not just become
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: a platform, but that it becomes a school, a school
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: where you learn God experientially, you learn God pragmatically. There
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: is something about God that only your tears can reveal.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: There is something about God that only the gift of
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: pain in your life can reveal. This is an uncomfortable truth,
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: but this is how people become champions in the spirit.
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: Away together now, so you get to a point where
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: your focus is on the knowledge of God and the
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: reports that you obtain before him.
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: You care less about whether things appear or not.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I will take time to teach about things. Faith was
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: a platform to receive things. But I'm saying, your Christian
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: experience will be a plethora of disappointments.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: In fact, because of the many disappointments as.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: A result of the absence of things, you will not
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: pay attention to the transformation that is happening and the
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: knowledge of God that you are now.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Having in experience away together.
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: So, for instance, I'm trusting God for a job, and
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I've been told that if I believe the world and
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: I speak the word the cattal on a thousands, he
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: will belongs to the Lord.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Is that true God is called the Father of spirits.
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: He can manipulate every human spirit to work his purposes
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: in my life.
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: So in the place of prayer, your focus is things.
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: In this case, the job your whole attention. That means
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: the end point of your faith as programmed by your understanding,
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: is that when a job arrives, God has shown himself
• 28:12
  Speaker 1: as faithful. He has answered me, are we together? But
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you do not know that the job is saying less
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: a part of God's concern. There is something he wants
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: to make out of your life.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: Are we together now? And while your attention is on
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: the job, and now you trusted God and release your faith.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: So the seed spoke the word submitted your CV and
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: in trust that after two months you will get the job.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: Now it's two years, the job has not come, and
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the devil manipulates your understanding to leave you disappointed.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: If they say those who have faith stand up, you're most.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Likely not stand up because your parameter for measuring faith
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: is the presence of things. You will not know that
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: within those two years, God has worked patience within you.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: God has worked contentment within you. God has granted you
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: the strength and the capacity to be able to look
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: at good doors and still don't open them until you
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: verify that God is the one that brought the door.
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: These are things that you cannot get. Just in a salmon,
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: there is a journey, and God is saying that in
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: his economy that journey is also called faith. Allelujah. So
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: most believers measure faith based on the presence of things.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: So if you say those who have faith usually the
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: man with all your respect who has a car, who
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: has flashy clothes, a good house, things. That attends to
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: the fact that the world of God has worked, while
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: some members somewhere who may not have anything but a
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: rich testimony that I have learned how to trust God
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: in spite of my father's departure, my mother's departure. I
• 29:52
  Speaker 1: had twenty Arab by January and I'm still standing by December.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: That person may not know that that is a no
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: blood report before God. Are we together? Yeah?
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: So the one who has only had five members even
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: after two years, the man when he stands with someone
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: who may have a lot more members. Generally our assessment
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to be that this one is doing better than this,
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: and his faith is working more than this. But God
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: has taught this man. He has purified his desire. The
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: pressure of pleasing men is no longer there. It was
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: pruned out by teaching only five people for two years.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: His pride was tongue till he's died.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: Are we learning?
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: Who you become is more important to God than what
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: you receive. I will say it again in the dealing
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: of men with God, who you become. That's why God
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: uses every opportunity to partner with your expectation for your transformation.
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: In God's mind, obtaining things is a lesser concern because
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: he knows that if that transformation happens to you, thinks.
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: The thing you even are looking for.
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: Sometimes it can be because of your former version by
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: the time you are transformed, you will find out that
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: what you were really praying for was unnecessary because your
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: growth will now make it ll necessary. You will soon
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: find out that it was jealousy that created that prayer point,
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: not a necessity for your destiny.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: You were just angry and envious.
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: And God will say, rather than just giving you that,
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: you will keep fweling your continuation in the flesh. So
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: He will use the opportunity, including the disappointment.
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: To grow you to a point where you will now
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: from that.
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: Purified self, that purified version, you will find out that
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: you did not really have many prayer requests. That long
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: list was what flesh gave you, so rather than answering it,
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: he transforms you, and your transformation keeps not out those
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: prayer requests you find out they were not requesting the
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: first place. Do you understand what I've thought so far,
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: so that in God's dealings with men, as far as
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: faith is concerned, his concern is not your hand receiving things,
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Because I can tell you when God begins to work
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: with men, usually because of the flesh and the nature
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: of sin, and it's lost that are enshrined in our hearts.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Most of our.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: Desires are not with respect to him or his program.
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: They are usually fuelled from a standpoint of lust. And
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: that does not mean we're bad. It just means that
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: we're still frail in ourselves. So when God begins to
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: work with a man, his interest is not giving things.
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: His interest is changing that man. Listen.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: This is very important because two believers or two persons,
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: young people, for instance, and start out their lives and
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: after two years one may not seem to have made
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: the kind of progress that he desired.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: And sometimes in church, if we are not careful, we
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: bring people out of a very powerful training they're having
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: with God that this system may not have anything physical,
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: But then she's obtaining is on a journey that is
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: giving her a good report. And sometimes we have bought
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: that journey.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: Impursut for things.
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Your transformation with God is of more value than the
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: things you receive, because many of the things that become
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the starting point for our manifesting faith. You see, when
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: you know God, you will find out that most of
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: those prayer points were unnecessary. Allelujah. When I started my
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: work with God, I started with zealand passion because we
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: were taught that faith.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: Gives things, and it is true. It remains true eternally.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: So our concern with God was how to use faith
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: to get out of this unfavorable condition.
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: We found ourselves as fast as possible.
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: The speed of that manifestation determined the strength of our faith,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: so we taught so that means God, if you can
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: take me out of this property in one week, translate
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: me from one room to a three bedroom flat, wipe
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: my tears, give me visa, change my life. These things
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: are wonderful. We say, I mentioned visa, and someone smile
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: away together visa. So usually when we study the subject
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: of faith, this is what I want, what most I
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: do to make it happen.
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: That is the scope of our study. You see, it
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter what motivated the desire.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: We just believe that faith is a the magical instruments
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: used to fulfill every desire. It doesn't matter how it came.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: So I want to go abroad. Whether it's the will
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: of God or not, that is none of my business.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I was told that faith can help me get a visa.
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: It can force someone at the other side of the
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: counter to stamp my visa. So I now begin to study. Okay,
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: I find speaking as part of the equation, So I speak.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: I find giving as part of the equation, so I give.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I find coming to church as part of the equation,
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: so I come, I find prophetic blessings.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: I engage everything. And now my expectation is to the roof.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: I stand before the counsular and I'm denied the visa
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: and I cannot understand.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: So what was I singing on Sunday? You are God
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: alone from before time? Beager, you are on your throne.
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: Ride the visa office. Now you are God alone, and
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: right now, and as I if that is the end
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: As soon as you get home, you profes side, you
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: drop the seed, and you expected one million to appear
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: for your rent. I was younger, Now I am old.
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: I've not seen the right shows for sake, and not
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: his seed back for bread. And in the presence of
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: your landlord, your account is still empty. And then you say, God,
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: what is the name of what we're doing? I have
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: practiced everything I read in Kenneth Higgins's book. I listened
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: to my pastor diligently. I emptied my account just last week.
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: What are you doing to me?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Oh God?
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: Then, as if that is not enough. Your colleague Jo
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: just passes with a beautiful bmw O beans.
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: I said, how are you? It's so good to see
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: after five years. What have you been up to now?
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: Say I'm trying to go out of this country.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Says well, I know you've always been a Cyrus Christian
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: right on campus. In fact, me, I just got born
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: again two years and thank God for your zeal. I'm
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: sure God will do it. And he haunts you and
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: leaves and now I'm describing for you someone put yourself
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: in the shoes of that someone, and your kicking stones
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: on your way home because you don't have your transports,
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: and you stand at home and say, Lord, am I
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: really a man of faith? And when you come to
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: church and they say all those who are faith stand up,
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: your mind will tell you dare not stand up? Where
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: is the car? Where is the visa? And yet Heaven
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: is clapping for you and saying you are a champion.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: There is a report you are guilding. Are we together now?
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: That the person who has a car in a house
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: has an obvious reason to roll on the ground during worship,
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: but that you, who may not have anything, you are
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: learning to trust God in the midst of pain and
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the name you called him. Even in the midst of
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: your disappointed expectation, you did not change that name. You
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: still called him faithful and true. There is a report
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: you are building. Many of you here administrators. How do
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: you write a report? Do you summarize a report? A
• 38:06
  Speaker 1: report is a labor ity. It takes a while.
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: You describe things.
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: The Bible says you are obtaining a good report. So
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: you find out that what made you cry last year?
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: If the landlord comes back, you are still eating, I'm
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: going to call police, and no problem, you're already You've
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: been threatened with police. That year has gone away. You
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: tell the man places and we're all humans. If you
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: won't take me to the police, I'm saying going it's
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: not desperation, it's growth. Something has happened to you that
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: what would have made you have this magical fear driven
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: first fear, different prayer that is not of faith. There
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: is a purification that has happened to you. You get
• 38:49
  Speaker 1: to a point where you say, Lord, I trust you,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: but I want you to know that if I have
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: to work out with my children and my luggage, I
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: will stand in the midst of the shame and I
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: will still call you faithful. My description of you has
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: now come as a result of conviction. I have an
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: experience with you that is greater than things. And if
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: everybody says, where is your evidence? I would tell him such,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: my spirit beyond my bank account, my evidence for knowing
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: and trusting and working with God. Listen, when your faith
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: stops at the realm of things, it will affect.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Your Christian life.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I believe in things, so I'm coming there while just
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: climbing the ladder gradually that in working with God, your
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: attention must go beyond things. So many believers waste the
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: journey of faith because the devil cheats them through their
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: limited understanding.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Where is the faithful God?
• 39:52
  Speaker 1: By now you should have had a child, you were
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: prayed for, everything happened, you were prophesied upon, and now
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: it's two years, it's five years, and you are so embarrassed.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: You don't know how to explain to people. So you
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: stop going to church because that is a remedy because
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: and it's not your fault, because the members comet. It's
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: just it's out of concern. Is it that this your
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: own God, God no answer? Or is it that you
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: are not trusting and sometimes women of God.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: With all due respect, we help again to divert the
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: people from the path that is correct that they're following,
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: because we say something must be wrong with your faith.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: What I'm showing you now that faith is number one
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: the substance of things, the evidence of things. But number two,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: it is a journey that leaves you obtaining a good report.
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: And that not all men in the Bible obtained things,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: but all men had good reports. It says for by
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: it the elder's all of them. There were promises, there
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: were people who died without receiving the promise. Yet the
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: Bible calls it faith. When you know this, ladies and gentlemen,
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: certain scriptures, now, certain scriptures begin to make sense to
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: you that our light affliction, which is bought for a
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: moment here this walk at en not give it to us,
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: work at.
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: Ens a far more exceeding weight of glory.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: That while we look at the things that are, we
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: look not at the things that are seen, but the
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: things that are unseen. For instance, your prayer requests that
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: the things that you are seeing are temperile, but that
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: there is a no blood transformation. There is something else
• 41:38
  Speaker 1: God is doing in you allelujah. When I started ministry,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: one day they called me to go and raise the
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: dead body. You know this zealand fire of faith, all
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: things are possible, goodness. I mean, we advocated that from
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: the depth of our hearts.
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: Now watch this.
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: I remember getting into the mutuary and they were dead bodies.
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Which one am I going to raise? Because it's not
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: just one or two? And you know how these dead
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: bodies were already embammed. So they took me to the
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: one that I'm supposed to raise. I didn't know what
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: part of that body I would lay my hands on,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: because every part was like a stone.
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: Which part do you lay hands on? The head?
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: All the scriptures had read on resurrection filed into my spirit.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus, I decree come back to life.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: Absolutely nothing happened in.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: The name of Jesus Christ. As a servant of the
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: Lord Jesus, come back to life. Okay, what did I
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: say wrong? When Jesus stood at the tongue of Lazarus,
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: he called.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: The name, what is the name of this guy?
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: Was died?
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: So so and so back to life? Yet in my
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: mind I thought I was failing. I did not know
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: that I was growing there's someone learning now that I
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: left that place not obtaining things, but there was a
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: good report. Because what you do after disappointment is really
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: what shows whether you believe God. What you do after
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: the name you call God, after your tears, where you
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: go to after everything fails. So many believers leave church
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: and they say, you know what, I've been there and
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: my life has not changed.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: What they mean is that I've not gotten the things
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: that sometimes my loss has programmed has prayer request and
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: we put pressure on men of God to say, if
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: you are really powerful, let your God make the things
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: that have put on my prayer requests come to pass immediately.
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: And so our measure of faith is the speed with
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: which we take those lists, not just our transformation. I'm
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: showing you now that the nobler part of faith, it's
• 44:00
  Speaker 1: not just obtaining things, but what God is doing in you.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: Many years ago I preached a message called knowing God Experientially,
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: and I thought that there is a dimension of God
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: you will never know by theory.
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: You will have to pass through fire, you will have
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: to receive the gift of pain to know God.
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: In the midst of that, the Angel appears to a
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: young virgin called Mary and says, you are favored.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: I've studied Mary's life. I still do not know what
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: looks like favor.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: You study her life from the day the angel met
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: her till upper room. I don't see anything spectacular happening
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: in the life of Mary that describes our idea of faivor.
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: Yet the Bible says it's not just favor, but highly.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: The next thing that follows that statement is a controversy,
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: and she's about to lose her husband. Suddenly her stomach
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: is portrusion, and Joseph says, well, this is a meaning
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: of this.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: You are a virgin. Yes, what happened my stomach? I
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: met an angel? Since here I'm telling you, this is
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: an angel that appeared to me, and he said the
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Holy Ghost would come upon me.
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: Imagine telling you're in lost that kind of thing. It's
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: better to keep quiet and even to sound stupid. You see,
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: sometimes we think that these things are just parables. You
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: think that Mary was just a quiet lady who just
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: endeared until the pregnancy came. The Bible says Joseph was
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: planning to live at peace. He didn't want to embarrass
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: a public people. He said, I can't take this I'm
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: on my way going. It took God intervening. How about
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: all that naysayers within the society, they will see answer,
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: highly favored, stupid woman. You better confess the rabbi or
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: describe all the Pharisee better use were bad people. The
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: whole society knows you that has claimed you are a
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: nice person. Look at it now, in all of our madness,
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: we did not have children out of and yours. Now
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: you claim you're a woman of God. And then she
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: had to endy on the Bible says Mary kept these
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: things to herself, and yet the Bible calls it highly favored,
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: ladies and gentlemen, based on your knowledge.
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: Of favor in relation to things. What did she obtain.
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: That the day she gave back to Jesus it was
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: even an uncomfortable thing. And then after that she hears
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: that they are looking to kill all children from two
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: years and below.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: What looks like favor in that story, I will tell
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: you where the favor is. A day will come people
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: who call to the table of greatness, those who have
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: a kind of pain that only you have, And you'll
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: be the only one to be able to stand them.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: When you get to heaven, among the many ways we
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: know Jesus. It's not just by the crown.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: The twenty and four elders also have crowns. But there
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: is a car that only one person has. That what
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: is a basis for shame today will be what you
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: will be proud of tomorrow. And the Bible calls it faith. Now,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: faith is the substance of things, the evidence of things.
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: We usually stop there, so our mind is programmed towards things, cars, houses, nothing.
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: Wrong, breakthrough, increase.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: And then the Bible says more than things, that there
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: are times you may not get things, but your attention
• 47:36
  Speaker 1: must go to the report. And the Bible gives us
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: an example. The first three people had nothing to do
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: with obtaining things. Abel Enoch, Noah. All of them obtained reports,
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: either as righteous people or whatever it is that happen
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: to them. It's only when we get to Abraham that
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: we now see that Abraham believed. We now see the
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: word obedience, we see the word believe, we see the
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: word receiving. And even for Abraham it was not everything,
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: because the Bible says in t shall all the families
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: of the earthy place, he never saw that one he died,
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: he saw Isaac, but he.
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: Never saw the salvation that would come through him.
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: How about the women who had the opportunity to experience life,
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: but the Bible said they rejected deliverance because there was
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: something nobler. The report was of greater essence to them
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: than receiving things. They had the opportunity to use the
• 48:38
  Speaker 1: power of the Holy Goos to command deliverance, but they
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: said no, I'd rather be called them attire than to
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: be called someone. They chose that report. It's a very
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: hard teaching to accept. You see how it's affecting you. Now,
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: what about my prayer request? I came with it this
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: in my pocket leaving there. We're going to pray on it.
• 49:01
  Speaker 1: There's nothing wrong with your prayer request, but that if
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: your faith, if your work with God is simply tied
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: to the God who can be compelled by principles to
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: respond to your prayer request. There is a side of
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: God you will not know, and many good things that
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: are happening in your life will be mistaken for evil.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: You will call God on faithful on many grounds, whereas
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: Heaven is clapping for you because you are growing back
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: to a statement that passed or made the first crusade
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: that we went for as a ministry. I'm not sure
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: we're more than fifty. We prayed and fasted, God gave
• 49:45
  Speaker 1: prophetic words. We woke up with dreams almost every day.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: You know how you pray to a point that you
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: are dreaming every day and going for that crusade. The
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: crusade will start about five o'clock. Around two, we're still
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: on the wa and the car spoiled. There was no
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: chance of even saying getting any car because we did
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: not have money. Yet We're going to show them a
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: god of science and wonders. In the crusade ground I
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: were together. I had asked the sound people to be
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: on their way. We are great then for one hundred
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: and fifty thousand. Believe me, it was a very expensive amount.
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: Go by Fate will pay you before the end of
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the crusade. So the guys were on their way there.
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: It took us singing and praying for that car to
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: get back to life. As soon as we arrived there.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: True story, our ladies had to climb the tree to
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: plug for a wood to make everybody was in every department.
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: Worship team was also in welfare. You cook and then
• 50:42
  Speaker 1: you go and prepare to sing. There's nothing like a
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: location of everybody was in every department. If it's time
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: to pray, you pray. If it's time to sing. If
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: they're not complete, somebody, you join them and sing true story.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: I was standing and shouting on that crusade ground.
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: There's strange thing was miracles were happening and my sound
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: people that I was owing one and fifty thousand, they
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: were also their witnessing the power of God. I preach
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: with power, I preach with grace.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: Where we were lodging the team, we didn't have money
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: to give even advance, and we needed to go and
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: greet the traditional ruler. Where is the God that can
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: raise somebody out of a wheelchair? What does it take
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: to touch somebody's heart to help us for God's sake?
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Now the crusade was over and everybody was living. No
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: transport to convey the team back to Zaria. I had
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: to negotiate with the driver and said, I promise you,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: by the time you get to Zaria, your money will
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: be waiting for you there. Just use your money and
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: buy fuel on the way. Finally, after a lot of argument,
• 51:47
  Speaker 1: he agreed. Now you imagine a preacher that was wearing
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: suits two days before or a day before, shouting on
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: a crusade ground. And then the next woman, you are
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: begging the persson and say the unbelieving drive now said.
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: What kind of a confusing God? Are you saving? Yes, sir,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: I'm taking now time to share this with you to
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: encourage you, because we'll pray shortly.
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: And when they left, I remember I needed recharge card.
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: Then phone just came out. I remember I was looking.
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: I said, God, you have to do a miracle where
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going to get the charge card to trout in
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: my fok. I can't remember what happened, but I finally
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: got charch card. I pleaded, I said, how do I
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: do this? Because I needed I had to dismiss the
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: whole team and stayed back so that they don't say
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: a man of God came you preach and ran away.
• 52:42
  Speaker 1: The hotel bills were there. We could not pay one
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty. The sound people were angry.
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: They said, what is this?
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: You mean even ten thousand you cannot look forward to
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: give us. I had to call somebody who was my
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: teacher before. I'm begging now, I'm not as a man
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: of God to beg the presenter place, can I find
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: twenty thousand? Or I can't remember how much I ask
• 53:04
  Speaker 1: him for? Say faith, say it again as soon as
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: we returned that the long story is just a miracle.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: Let me not for you, or you can imagine how
• 53:22
  Speaker 1: I came out of that situation. Then God gives an
• 53:26
  Speaker 1: instruction and says, next year.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Go back again for that same who said, Ah, by God,
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: my parents are alive. What is the meaning of this job?
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Because I chose to serve you, I've just got to
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: the job and leave a happy, peaceful life.
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: Go back again. I said, all right.
• 53:47
  Speaker 1: I escaped prison, I escaped all of these things. I
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: was waiting for my scholarship so that I would pay
• 53:56
  Speaker 1: the sound people. The thing was delayed. It didn't come.
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: I didn't know how to beg them. Someone wrote a
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: postdated check and gave They went back to Carduna to
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: cash it. It was it was what they call the thing,
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: the dot checker. They reversed back from Cardulla to Zariah.
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: No shadow you, one lier mounting you on climber, coming
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: after me.
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: This is not a special number for you. Now.
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: Unknown to me, I didn't realize that through those storms,
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: I was not obtaining things.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: But there was a report. There was a report.
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: How does God give you an instruction to go back
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: again to that same place. What are the pastors that
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: worked with you that you could not even encourage them?
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: You know, pastors from PFM to say thank you for
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: helping us, You just wave them and say, may God
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: help you. We're all serving the Lord. And the next
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: day you want, the next year, you want to call
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: them again.
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: Yah.
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Though I walk through the valley of the Shadow of Death,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: I start by fearing evil, but I stay at evil,
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: and then for a long time it doesn't come close
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: enough to hurt me, And then I say, what was
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: the fear?
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: After all? There are times you don't go out of
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: the storm.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: There are times the Fourth Man is there with you,
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: because the miracle is only appreciated in the storm. If
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: they threw the three Hebrew boys and they suddenly found
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: them outside the fire, the testimony would not be notable.
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: It was the presence of the fourth Man in the
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: midst of the fire that caused a boocket Neza to
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: write a decree, are we together now to cut the
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: long story shorts? After that time, I remember the midst
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: of my pain, I went to the Lord train and
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: saying things your true story. I said, Lord, it is
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: an honor for me to be able to serve you,
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: regardless what shame and what pain has followed it. I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: am happy and honored to be called your servant. A
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: good report, and I remember God spoke some things from
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: me in that experience and said, you will never beg
• 56:17
  Speaker 1: for money for ministry again, and you will never have
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: to borrow money.
• 56:20
  Speaker 2: For ministry again. That was the last time till Jesus returns.
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: Now it's easy for people to see what God has
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: done today and what God is doing without humility, and
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: just believe that all I did was just to open
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: Hebrews eleven, saw it, confessed it, and then it worked.
• 56:40
  Speaker 2: No, sir, there is an experience with God.
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: Your good report enhances your obtaining things because you have
• 56:47
  Speaker 1: gotten to a point where having it or not having
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: it does not change your disposition with God.
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: Are we together? One other time in my life where
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: my focus now was on my.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: Growth and my relationship with God, it didn't matter to
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: me again whether ministry grew or not. Honestly, not from
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: a standpoint of carelessness. It was no blood for me
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: to know Jesus, to love him, to live for him.
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: Whether the nations knew me or not, whether I was
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: a man of God accredited by men or not, that
• 57:18
  Speaker 1: was no longer my concern. It was to know him,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: to love him, to serve him, and to see that
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: I was in his will per time. When God got
• 57:26
  Speaker 1: me to that point, he said something to me. He said, son,
• 57:30
  Speaker 1: if you will let men see me, there is nothing
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: I will not give you.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: The greatest results in my.
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: Life started when my focus shifted from them to Him.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: The greatest miracles in my life started when my focus
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: shifted on the pressure of proving that I was anointed
• 57:51
  Speaker 1: to being concerned about Jesus. If the man on the
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: wheelchair is not Hell, I'm sorry. I did my best.
• 57:57
  Speaker 1: You can go home, come back again. But if at
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: the end of it, I can love Jesus when he
• 58:04
  Speaker 1: sees that you have allowed faith as a journey as
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: a school to build you, the end of your faith
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: pursuit should not be it.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: It should be your transformation. You get to a point
• 58:19
  Speaker 2: where it is true that you desire results.
• 58:23
  Speaker 1: It is true that you want to obtain things science
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: and wonder's prosperity and all of these things, but that
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: you have come to a point where you are not
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: embarrassed at all. Your greatest pain is not when you
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: fail to obtain things, but that if for any reason,
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: you find out that your relationship with the Lord Jesus
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Christ has been disturbed by anything that becomes your concern.
• 58:45
  Speaker 1: The Bible talks about Abel, though dead yet speaking. The
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: Bible talks about people who went through pain and tragedy.
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: At the end of Job's life, in the midst of
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: all that happened, the Bible says, he about down and
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: he worshiped.
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: How do you wash when you are getting a report.
• 59:01
  Speaker 1: That your children just died, your estate got destroyed, some
• 59:06
  Speaker 1: wind came to destroy your farm properties, and that Job cast.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Himself upon the earth and worshiped.
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: God wants to bring you to a point where things
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: it doesn't become the object.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Of your love and your worship and praise.
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: So if God gives me a car now, by the
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: way I have told you my other stories, I'm sure
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: that many of you have heard it in my teaching.
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: As we prepare to pray for many years.
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: Even when God started blessing me, God will not allow
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: me move to a bigger house. God do not allow
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: me buy the kind of car. I could buy any
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: car that I wanted to. I would climb a bike.
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: You can imagine service with a crowd of people and
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: you hear the sound of a bike, you think they're
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: dropping someone who came to charge late.
• 59:52
  Speaker 2: That was me.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: My suit was more expensive than the bike. It's not pride,
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: it was not luck. God, But what are you doing
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: to me like this? I remember times when women who
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: come together and come to meet with just as mother,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: as concerned to know whether maybe there was something worry
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: me that I could not share with somebody. In many
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: less die hearing you know how women finish may praise,
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: and what I know is my house.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: They are now coming to what is wrong, and I say,
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 2: I'm fine.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: You are paying two bedroom flats for people, three bedroom
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: flats for people, and here you are in one room.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: I would travel for ministrations with convoys driving me and
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: return back home in one room, and I.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: Was proud of it. That was where. Look, when you
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: say you're a man of God, it's not just that.
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: You are ordaining to ministry, that you have died to
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: a point where you can live for Jesus.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: The truest description of a man of God is not
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 2: just one who can preach.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: It's one who has so died he has now come back,
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: but not with his life again that he lives to
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: project the image of the Christ. Are we together? I
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 1: remember for a long time one day, honestly speaking, I
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: got concerns toward Say God, is it that if I've
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: seen against you? I'm sorry? The Lord is gracious and compassionate.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: What is my own say that you cannot? And God
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: made a statement that time. I remember he told me
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: my house was not built yet, and I sat down there.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: People will bring cars and God will asked me to
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: just pray for them, bless them, give them back the
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: key to return.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: You know how painful that is. I know you can
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: easily clap and say you love God. You tried let
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: somebody come to meet you. And I'm not talking of a.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: Card that is almost dead, serious card that will give
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: God glory if you drive it and then you pray
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 2: over it and give the person to go back.
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: And there you are seated, sleep will not come, the
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: appetite to eat will not come, and he say, what
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: is the name of what we are doing?
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: Allelujah? And then people are hearing you are paying too bad?
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: Room flat It becomes believable to say, are you sure
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: this man isn't my eye? Doesn't this look like somebody
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: who is doing something? Alleluyah.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 1: I found out that most of the things I would
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: have wanted as results have never had to pray for them.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: When I obtained that good report, that good report became
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: like a magnet. It drew many things beyond the things
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: I would have prayed for. And I'm telling you this
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: truthfully and honestly, ladies and gentlemen, I can't tell you
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: your becoming is greater than your receiving. You're becoming that conformity,
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: that confidence, your true audacity comes in your encounter with God.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: Now on the strength of that the God you have
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: no and you have encountered. When he sends you, you
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: can stand and tell the sick be healed. And you
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 2: are not speaking and hoping? You know him? Are we together?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: Your pain has revealed him, Your hunger has revealed him,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: Your desperation has revealed him. You can believe him for
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: anything anything. I was honored to have passed thor around
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 1: during a conference when the Lord gave me the instruction
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: and he said, I want to do something through your life,
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: and he gave me that instruction to go and organize
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: the conference there. I don't even want to begin to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: tell you the bills. This is an intelligent church. You
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: have an idea, there are things. If you don't know
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: God back, don't try it. You will become not just
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: an embarrassment to yourself, but a lesson to generations that
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: every time people want to teach on the punishment and
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: individual receives for not knowing God, well, you are the
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: person who will be used. That is a global risk.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: You destroy yourself and everybody who has invested trusting you. Allelujah.
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: Then the Lord allows us to put a program in
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: a weekday in Europe, a week day over two thousand
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: plus workers to feed them. And then he says to
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: not collect offering know nothing. So when the Lord brought
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: glory to his name and people were saying all those
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: things and threw away the phone, and I was flat
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 1: on the ground that your boy you once trained. Thank
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: God for the honor of his service to you and
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 1: to the kingdom.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: My becoming is of greater value to me everything I have.
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 1: So whatever I obtain or don't obtain, it is I
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: cannot because something did not come into my life, say God,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: where are you that language?
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 2: I divorce myself from that language.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 1: My relationship with the Lord Jesus is greater than the
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 1: arrival or the departure of things. When things coming or
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: things living have no effect in you, on you, you
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: have broken the power of Satan over your life because
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: you see Satan leverages on your disappointment. He uses the
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 1: arrival or departure of things. Who try to describe God's
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: faithfulness or otherwise when you get to a point now
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 1: where nothing that comes or nothing that goes affects your
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 1: knowledge of God?
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Are we together?
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 1: So someone is sick in the hospital. You reach out
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 1: by faith and you lay your hands, believing that the
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 1: God of Heaven would heal the person, but that if
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: you hear that the person has passed on to glory.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: In the midst of your tears, say Father, I give
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 1: you thanks. Not that you begin to ask and say, God,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 1: where are you?
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: You have failed me.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: No, in the midst of your pain, you have grown
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: with God to know that God loves you and in
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: him there is no evil. In Him, there is no
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: shadow of turning or variableness. That even when you cannot
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: give a name to what is happening, to you, you
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: can call God in the midst of it and say
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 1: you are faithful. When that happens to you, you have
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 1: gotten to a realm where you frustrate Satan for the
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: rest of your life because there is nothing he can
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: hold onto with you.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: Again, what is it going to use to say God
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: that's not been faithful? Or a child?
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 1: You're tell him I love God Mother than a child,
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 1: a job. I love God Mother and a job. Now,
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 1: when you are praying for a job or you are
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 1: praying for a child, listen the correct and I round
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 1: up with this will pick it from there, hopefully tomorrow.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: The correct basis for wanting things is the desire to
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: use them as a tool to reveal Jesus.
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: Through your life. Did you get that now?
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: When your pursuit and your desire becomes building your conviction
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: from knowing Him? Now when you want a car, when
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: you want great membership, when you want a great name.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: It is not because of the pressure of showing that
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 2: the world is working.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: No, the world has been proven to work before your arrival,
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: and your experience is too small to negate the power
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: of the world. Let God be true, he says, And
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: all men liars if I never get healed.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 2: Today God is still a healer.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: My experience is too small to councel out the integrity
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: of the world.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 2: That has been proven through the years. Are we together now?
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: But now when I bow my knees and I say, God,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: heal the people, it is more than a man of
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: God trying to look for defense for his anointing.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Aha.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 1: I have found out that it is a desire to
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: be able to obtain this results so that the name
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 1: of Jesus can be lifted. I'm showing you Bible faith
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 1: that works. So when you write your requests, Lord, give
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: me twins. Lord, give me a house in my timer.
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 1: Lord give me a visa, Lord, give me another citizenship.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: Do you know the reason why you are confident that
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 1: God will answer it? Because number one, you have so
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: died that answering it or not answering it does not
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 1: affect your relationship with Jesus. But then number two, you
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 1: are saying, Lord, here is an opportunity that in answering
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: this request, you are giving me an opportunity to allow
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: your name to be lifted and exalted.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: You have come to a point in the spirit that
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 2: the Bible calls.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: Faith every desire in your life is not isolated from
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: the revelation of Jesus. Now you can pray with confidence,
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: you can ask for the twins. You can say, Father,
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: make me a kingdom below here.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: And this is not just lost speaking.
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 1: And the only way to test whether it is lost
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: speaking or not is that your disappointment does not affect
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 1: your relationship. So many people who say I am a
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 1: man of faith in the body of Christ. The truth
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: is that when you vet it from the lens of this,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: do you have the honor shameedness to.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: Forgod things to obtain a good report?
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: And when you want to now obtain things, is your
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 1: desire and motive just to use them to show whether.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Or not God is faithful.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: God is faithful from the time your pocket is empty
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: until it is filled with all the money in your life.
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 2: Is somebody getting that now? So when I pray for.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: People, whether to be healed or speaking over your life,
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: I help them understand that the answer to it is
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: the testimonies that they receive is beyond just an attestation
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 1: that this is a man of God. I bring them
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 1: to a point where their requests and their desires are
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: connected to kingdom, come connected to the revelation of Jesus.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: Now I can pray with confidence, Lord lift this woman,
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 1: Lord give this woman twins, Lord make this person a millionnaire.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: And I will not prayed with any apology.
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 1: I pray when I'm teaching about finance, I teach it
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 1: that if that's the only thing to be taught when
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm teaching about other aspects of the kingdom life, because
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 1: now I have brought the people to a point where
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 1: their desires are now in unison with God's will.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: Here's what the Bible says.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: This is the confidence we have that when we ask
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 1: anything according to His will, we know that He hears us.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: Faith was never supposed to be an isolated platform to
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 1: just receive things, regardless whether it is connected to God's
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 1: will or not.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: You see that now.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: So the missing ingredient that we need to correct is
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 1: number one, that faith is beyond receiving things.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 2: The nobler reason.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 1: For faith is obtaining reports that your journey of faith.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 1: The school of faith should help you at the end
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 1: of your faith. Johnny, if all you show me is
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 1: a car and a house, I will not be very
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 1: impressed at the end of your journey.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: If I stand before you in.
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 1: The midst of the car, in the midst of the result,
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 1: in the midst of the designers. I should see you
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: go on your knees and call a God that you
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 1: have come to know through your pain, a God whose
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 1: name when you call, is not just because a worshiper
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 1: gave you that name to call your pain and your
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 1: experience has brought conviction to you and put the strength
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 1: of that conviction. When he commands you, you say yes, sir,
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: you will do or that's shot things and people will
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 1: look at you.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: You do not add up, and they will.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 1: Say, from whence is this confidence? The confidence is beyond
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 1: just confessing scripture. Believe me, you have had an experience
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 1: with God, and shame died in that experience. Ego died
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: in that experience. Lost died in that experience. Your passion
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 1: is to see Jesus revealed. So if God says move,
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: you are moving, because you already died in the first place.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: So whether an embarrassment happens or not, your ego is
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: not tied to it. Now you can believe God in truth.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: Now faith is left me wrap up the substance of things,
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: the evidence of things. There was no garantee scripture that
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: all the people call elders obtain things. But this one
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: thing the Bible said about them. It says, for by
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: it verse two. Go back with this scripture tonight, for
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: by it faith, not just as a platform to obtain things,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: as a journey and as a school.
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 2: Verse two. Please media give us verse two. So go
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 2: wrap up with verse two.
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: By it, he says, the elder's the elder's obtained. So
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 1: whether the house comes or not, good report, being called
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 1: a patient person before God, being called a righteous man
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: before God, being called a true Christian, being called one
• 1:13:21
  Speaker 1: who loves Jesus, regardless the vicissitudes of life, is a
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 1: no blood report before God.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: You see, when you have that, it will no longer
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: be a due or direffair.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 1: The only do or dire phair your life will be
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 1: your lover and your pursuit for Jesus. When this is
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 1: brought and reintroduced back to the body of Christ, I
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 1: assure you we will see miracles in the.
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: Way we have not seen before. We will see prosperity.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: This thing we call prosperity. The truth is that many
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: people have not truly handled kingdom wealth.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 1: You are really wealthy to the degree to which you
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 1: can give to the program of God without in affecting you.
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: For angers you still fear giving. You are not yet wealthy.
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: You see, yes, that who have experienced a level of overflow.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 1: By the spirit of God, that no amount of giving
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 1: to the Kingdom becomes a source of pain and makes
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: you to lose sleep.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 2: First, because you love God. What number two? He has
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: opened your eyes to see what others do not see.
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 2: We are going to pray for by it.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 1: Ladies, gentlemen, We started our journey with God not obtaining things,
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: but obtaining a good report. And that good report before
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 1: God and before men, has brought things things beyond our
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 1: prayer request. It has given me the confidence to believe
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 1: God today the bits that we are doing for the Kingdom,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 1: and the privilege of serving Him in whatever capacity He's
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 1: chosen to bring us to, and that he's taking us to.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 2: My highest desire is not to have things. My highest
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 2: desire is that I love Him.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 1: The proof of faith for me is not the arrival
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 1: of things expected. It's wonderful and will deal with that tomorrow.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 1: But the greatest proof of faith is if you find
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 1: me knowing God and trusting Him more today than I
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 1: did yesterday, then I'm a.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: Man of faith.
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: If I trust God at the same level today that
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 1: I started this year with. My faith has not grown.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: It does not matter what else came. So Heaven treats
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: the subject of faith by your growth and the confidence
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 1: that is important to you based on the knowledge of
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: God and pastor shared something beautiful. Don't waste your pain,
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 1: don't waste your experiences. Don't allow the devil lie to
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: you that your faith is not working in the midst
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: of the tears. Rejoice because He is giving you an opportunity.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 1: You are in the school of the spirit obtaining a
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 1: good report. I prayed for this person and he died.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 1: Focus on the report beyond the promise.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: I trusted.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 1: By now October I should have gotten the job. Focus
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 1: on the patience that has been built. Focus on the
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 1: purifying of your heart that has happened. It is still
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 1: called faith. I trusted that the ministry would have moved
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 1: set to her permanent side. I trusted that God would
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 1: have multiplied membership, more money would have come, more members
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 1: would have given, But it seems to not have happened.
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 1: Focus on the report. You have become a more spiritual you,
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 1: the you that does not cry anyhow. Again, you used
• 1:16:42
  Speaker 1: to waste your tears, but now you know the value
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 1: of your tears. You only cry in his presence, not
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 1: before the devil. That growth happened because faith built you.
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 1: This is a good place to pray. This is how
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 1: God trained us. The object of shame and ego died
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: in the journey. What do people say, Ah, that board
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: dinner was delivered from it years ago. You do things
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 1: because you fear the Lord, because of a sense of conscience,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 1: and posterity.
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 2: Is someone learning. So that way you can trust God
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: for grace.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 1: If God says, empty your account and bring it and
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 1: drop it at the feet of the Man of God,
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 1: you will not be casting his voice because of lust,
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: I cast that voice.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 2: It can be God. God cannot be telling me this
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: by October. God doesn't work like that. He is love.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: You have so died that all you have belongs to
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 2: him as a man of God.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 1: After ten years pursoning five members, you would teach them
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 1: with that zeal and not vent your anger upon them
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 1: because of the absence of growth. You are teaching them
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 1: with passion. And you're wondering where you are getting this
• 1:17:56
  Speaker 1: passion from. And you say I landed from Jesus. Whether
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 1: he was speaking to one woman at the well or
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 1: he was speaking to the pharisees, he was speaking on
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 1: a crusade ground. His passion never changed to him. He
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 1: was doing ministry. His reputation was a least of his concern.
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 1: The will of God was his primary purpose. So John
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 1: three sixteen came out of a discussion with one man.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 1: The whole template of worship that has guided the church
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 1: was not a discussion on the crusade ground.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 2: It was Jesus discussing with one woman. Many of the
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 2: powerful scriptures.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 1: In the Bible did not come from him talking with
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 1: the crowd. He was talking with individuals faith, Bible faith.
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 1: I hope this is a good way to start a
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 1: conference that you have so desired and labored and opened
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 1: up your heart, so that every other addition that comes
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 1: to this conference falls upon a hand that already understands
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 1: God's intent. That any conference, every prophetic word you'll be receiving,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 1: every principle you'll be learning, whether in business I have
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 1: seen you know the plethora of seasoned visionary men of
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 1: God who will be standing upon this other all through
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 1: the weak. Have this at the back of your mind
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 1: that the assignment of a man of God is not
• 1:19:20
  Speaker 1: to endorse the loss that is already there. So the
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: Spirit of God is beginning with us and bringing that
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 1: circumcision in our hurt from tonight to help us understand
• 1:19:30
  Speaker 1: that faith is not just as a tool to manipulate
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 1: God using scripture so that our will and our desire
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 1: be met by all means that is not faith. The
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 1: primary assignment of faith is to help you obtain a
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 1: good report, a standing building character, helping your understanding in
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: the spirit. And then from that standpoint, he now teaches
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 1: you how to obtain promises with respect to making those
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: promises a tool fulfiling his will.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 2: That way, you can ask for the car, you can
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 2: ask for the house, you can.
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 1: Ask for the children, and it is not lost because
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 1: it is not just to satisfy your desire.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 2: It comes into your life as a tool to help
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 2: you reveal Jesus.
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 1: When you say, Lord, give me one billion, he looks
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 1: at you, and he's not constrained to give you because
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 1: he knows that everything that comes into your heart and
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 1: your hand is falling upon a life that is ever
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: committed to see Him revealed. At that point, you will
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 1: see signs and wonder's. Indeed, you will see dimensions of grace,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 1: You will see levels of power. You will see favor, influence,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 1: prosperity beyond your imagination. Men will look at you are
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 1: not They will.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 2: Try to such, how is this result happening?
• 1:20:47
  Speaker 1: And you will tell them this result is a product
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 1: of an understanding that faith is not limited to obtaining things,
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 1: but it is that you have a good report.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 2: Your confidence is not from what God does or not.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: Your confidence is from who you become, whether God does
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 2: it or.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 1: Doesn't do it. Please rise upon your feet. Can you
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 1: hold hands with someone? Are your left and you're right?
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 1: If you can, Let's just take a moment to just
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 1: reflect for a minute. Thank you for your time. I
• 1:21:21
  Speaker 1: want you to think in one minute. I know we're
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 1: going to pray, but thinking one minute about everything that
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 1: I've shared. For some of you, it's a reorientation about
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 1: faith that God is giving you right now. For many
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 1: of you, now you are appreciating the journey that you
• 1:21:37
  Speaker 1: started with the Lord from January till now October. What
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 1: you call disappointment that you are not even a shamed
• 1:21:44
  Speaker 1: You are shamed of telling people. You are learning now
• 1:21:47
  Speaker 1: that This has been your no blessed year spiritually speaking,
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 1: in terms of obtaining things, not much may have happened,
• 1:21:56
  Speaker 1: but that every salmon passed or preached, this is what
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 1: it was accomplishing in you. You already began to feel
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 1: disappointed to say, I mean, come on, persis professign, people
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 1: are testifying.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker 2: How come I didn't have a chance to climb this altar?
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 1: Because God doesn't just want you to have testimonies to
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 1: the testimony. You are the testimony yourself. A more patient
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 1: you has emerged, A more loving you has emerged, A
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 1: more spiritual you has emerged.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 2: That it is not lost that drives you for a retreat.
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 2: Now your retreat is fixed, whether results come or not.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 1: You can lock yourself for three days, not just because
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 1: you were threatened in the office that you'll be downsized.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 2: Prayer, prayer.
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: In one minute, Father, help me to love you beyond
• 1:22:48
  Speaker 1: the things that manifest or otherwise in my life.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 2: Go at and pray. Go ahead and pray. Help me
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 2: to love you.
• 1:23:00
  Speaker 1: Bring me to that point and that plain in the
• 1:23:03
  Speaker 1: spirit where my faith is viewed and centered around You,
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 1: not centered around things.
• 1:23:10
  Speaker 2: This is the school of faith. Lend me one minute
• 1:23:12
  Speaker 2: to a pray.
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 1: That obtaining results or otherwise will never affect my relationship. Ironically,
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 1: it is this temperate that will bring you to a
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 1: realm of fear full results, or that shorst thrives. In
• 1:23:33
  Speaker 1: the spirit, you will do things that honorary men are
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 1: not able to do.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 4: You will say things, You will do things that will
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 4: surprise you and surprise many resolves that only God can
• 1:23:45
  Speaker 4: produce will be brought through your life because your focus
• 1:23:50
  Speaker 4: is on Jesus his kingdom, your growth.
• 1:23:54
  Speaker 2: More than the appearance of things. In the name of
• 1:23:59
  Speaker 2: Jesus Christ.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 1: Now tomorrow, by the grace of God, during my session,
• 1:24:04
  Speaker 1: we're going to be examining the other dimension of faith.
• 1:24:07
  Speaker 1: And I trust that by the Spirit I'll be showing
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 1: you something a mystery that controls obtaining results. In the spirit,
• 1:24:14
  Speaker 1: haven't established your heart. Make no mistakes about the importance
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 1: of results in the life of the believer. I think
• 1:24:21
  Speaker 1: I need to just take a minute to say this
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 1: so that your understanding is balanced. Do not think I'm
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 1: rejecting results.
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 2: God is placing our hearts.
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 1: John fifteen and verse eight says, hearing is my Father glorified.
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 1: When ye bear much food, so shall you be my disciples.
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 1: John fifteen sixteen says, you have not chosen me, but
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 1: I have chosen you and ordained you that you go
• 1:24:46
  Speaker 1: and bear much food, that your food should remain alle Lujah.
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 1: The Bible says, were his workmanship created in Christ Jesus
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 1: onto good works which God had free.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Or that we should work in them.
• 1:25:01
  Speaker 1: But this is the correct protocol for accessing and approaching
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 1: the subject or results. It is your heart being right first,
• 1:25:11
  Speaker 1: Jesus being the center point. And then everything you obtain,
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 1: you have it at the back of your mind that
• 1:25:17
  Speaker 1: it must be used as a tool to glorify Him.
• 1:25:20
  Speaker 1: Now you can teach faith as a platform for obtaining
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 1: and you can let.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: The lead of You can teach it and stretch people,
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 2: knowing that it will not become a disaster.
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 1: You will not regret teaching them because their minds have
• 1:25:33
  Speaker 1: been so fashioned to see Jesus revealed.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 2: I pray for you that God will help you. In
• 1:25:39
  Speaker 2: the name of Jesus.
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 1: I stand in faith with the Angel over this house
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 1: and all the vessels of glory that I here represented,
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 1: and I speak.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Over your life that in the name of Jesus, the Lord.
• 1:25:50
  Speaker 5: Himself will reposision your heart to a point and a
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 5: plain in the spirit, where you're standing before God, it
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 5: becomes of greater.
• 1:26:01
  Speaker 2: Value than the arrival of things. Receive that grace in
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: the name of Jesus, and may the Lord bless you.
• 1:26:08
  Speaker 2: May the Lord lift you, may the Lord cost you
• 1:26:11
  Speaker 2: to see ma the.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 5: Lost things is the workings of His hand in your
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 5: life in Jesus might be lame.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: With grace, Amen and Amen.
