The-Season-Where-God-Strips-You-Before-He-Trusts-You · Apostle Joshua Selman

0:00
Speaker 1: Number one. Please listen. I'm teaching you, prophetically, people of God,
0:04
believers South Africa. It's impossible. Once you have received that burden,
0:10
you are in one of these seasons. The first season
0:14
that this burden leads you into is called the season
0:18
of separation.
0:23
Speaker 2: Yeah we worship, ah, yeah believe worship.
0:33
Speaker 1: Yeah we worship the season of separation Prohabs eighteen, verse one.
0:43
Speaker 2: Through desire a man, a man of God in the making,
0:49
a prophet in the making, and apostle in the making,
0:53
a kingdom, financier in the.
0:54
Speaker 1: Making, true desire. The first thing that happens is a separation.
1:00
Back to KJV, please and KJV calls it isolation is wrong,
1:05
my God. As you listen to me, there are importations
1:08
that will begin in displace. I'm teaching prophetically tonight, Allenlujah,
1:12
take it hagh for me. Ah, I send this thing
1:15
on me. Now, glory to God. Can you play strings
1:22
for me? Just look for strings and just flow for me.
1:26
Speaker 2: The season of separation the first trimes time the spirit.
1:32
Speaker 1: When you want to travail, when you want to carry
1:36
and burst the glory of God. And I'm going to
1:38
be showing you the things that characterize that season, it says,
1:41
a man a destiny, haven't separated himself. You begin to
1:48
seek and inter metal with wisdom. It's a very strange
1:54
season in the life of any man. You don't go
1:57
in groups, you don't go as husband and wife, you
2:01
don't go as choir members. It's a season where only
2:05
one man is permitted to work. It's a part of destiny.
2:09
They can intersay it for you, but no man, no man,
2:13
you cannot go through that season. You may start as
2:16
a prayer team, you may start as a congregation. But
2:20
the moment you get to the season of separation, there
2:23
are things that God cannot tell you in the public.
2:26
You begin a Johnny where it is you and the
2:29
spirit of God. Now please listen, Please listen. The first
2:41
thing that happens to you in this moment of separation
2:47
is self discovery. You never know who you are until
2:52
you are left alone like Jacob, and you begin to
2:56
do business with God. You never know what you carry.
3:00
People can suggest it, dreams can suggest it. But there
3:04
is something about you and God alone, no packaging, no lying,
3:08
no telling. Whatever it is between you and God. The
3:11
season of separation opens you up to a moment of
3:15
self discovery. Self discovery. That's the first thing that characterizes
3:22
that season. Number two, growth in knowledge and understanding. When
3:29
God is able to successfully separate you, he begins to
3:34
grant to access to light high level spiritual illumination. Some
3:41
of you are in that season right now. You cannot
3:45
explain what is happening in your life, but you just
3:48
know that you are not comfortable being around people, even
3:50
as a man of God. You want to be alone.
3:54
Is not depression. It's not depression. I know there may be. America.
3:58
Is not depression. Confuse it with depression. Depression is a
4:02
demonic poddon. I will cast that one shortly for you.
4:06
But this one is Destiny beckoning on you. This one
4:10
is Prophessy beckoning on you. It is true, oh my
4:17
dea society is true. You don't become a winner in
4:21
the public. There is a place called the Cave of Adullam.
4:25
There is a place called the backside of the mountain.
4:28
That was where David was. David did not train in
4:31
the battle. No, that was a place of execution. There
4:35
is a season when you are pregnant with purdons. It
4:40
leads you to begin to such you such by the
4:43
spirit when others are sleeping you awake. You will stay
4:47
on one verse of scripture for two weeks, and you
4:49
you don't. It's like a well. You find a well
4:52
and begin to draw from. It doesn't make sense to men,
4:56
and truly you don't need to explain to them. Sam
5:03
Turner Pando intense moments of self discovery and then growth
5:18
in knowledge and understanding. Number three. The third thing that
5:21
happens to you when you get to this season is
5:25
personal transformation. You begin to change as you expose yourself
5:31
to prayer, as you expose yourself to the world, the
5:34
flesh begins to die. It's like a snake molting. I
5:39
told you yesterday. You know how reptiles molte. You come
5:42
out of your former self. You come out of your
5:45
canal self. You come out of your fearful self, You
5:49
come out of your doubtful self. You come out of
5:51
your envy, yourself, your jellous self, your lost, driven self.
5:56
There is a new you that begins to emerge in
5:59
that separation. Now let me tell you this God in
6:05
the season of separation, God hides your report card. He
6:10
never shows you your progress, so it does not distract
6:13
you even when you are making progress. He will never
6:16
show you how far you are going. Are we together
6:22
in that place? Listen, there are many of you right now.
6:26
That training God has submitted you to it is equal
6:30
to that of a general overseer. But he will never
6:33
let you see how far you have gone because it
6:35
does not want to distract you. So you will feel
6:38
like you are not making progress. And the devil may
6:41
even lie to your mind and say, what are you
6:43
really moving? Yes you are. He only hed your report
6:46
card because he needs your own divided attention.
6:57
Speaker 2: With someone learning, the flesh begins to die, character.
7:05
Speaker 1: Begins to be built. Usually at that point in your life,
7:11
there are no results to flatter you, there are no
7:13
results to deceive you. And even when you are making
7:16
progress in the spirit, God will hide your bodcat from
7:20
you because he needs your attention nless you be distracted.
7:24
It's a human thing that in the presence of results,
7:27
you become high headed, high minded, and so God will
7:30
withdraw your progress from you. The journeys follow me. You
7:34
will not even know how far you are going. Oh,
7:36
but the Holy goes will like a river. He will
7:39
channel you. You pray and learn the world, and you
7:45
may not even know what progress. You are making no
7:49
basis of comparison. He takes away the results from you.
7:55
A change of mindset. God begins to work on your mind.
8:00
You see that that word travel is not a careless word.
8:02
It's a very deep spiritual discussion. The season of separation,
8:07
you discover your light of who Christ is, and in
8:11
light of your prophetic assignment, you encounter the living Word
8:16
that brings you superior knowledge and understanding. The Holy goes
8:20
in through the ministry of prayer, and the world begins
8:23
to evolve you. The flesh dies, character is built. Let
8:28
me tell you this. By this teaching, you can know
8:31
those who jump the seasons, and you will know why
8:33
they're having problems in ministry and while they're having problems
8:36
in destiny. You can manipulate your way through these seasons,
8:40
but it will catch up with you, even if it's
8:42
after ten years. The protocol is that you must go
8:45
through this season. Some of you. By reason of this teaching,
8:52
God will be showing you messy. And the way he
8:54
shows you messy it is not to give you results,
8:57
is to reschedule the seasons again so that you go
9:01
through the seasons properly. It's someone learning what happens when
9:11
you're in the season of separation. You make very defining
9:21
prayer investments, very defining. It's a season of in ls
9:28
prayer investments, prayers with no prayer points, in tails prayer investments.
9:39
These prayer investments are for intimacy, They are for your transformation,
9:44
and they begin to initiate the process for your empowerment.
9:47
It is this prayer that begins to draw the anointing
9:50
that will be needed for your destiny. Let me tell
9:53
you this. You will not pray two weeks and have it.
9:56
This one has to become an addiction. You stay there
9:59
and stre true. Are we together now? In Ads Chapter
10:05
six and verse four, it didn't say we will pray.
10:07
He says we will give ourselves. The word give yourself
10:11
is the word addiction.
10:14
Speaker 2: That you give yourself, liking to becoming a slave to it.
10:19
Speaker 1: We will give ourselves to prayer continually. Is the reason
10:25
why God does not need distractions. So you pray. Nothing
10:31
seems to happen, but you are praying every night, every
10:35
other day in church alone during your retreat, no job,
10:40
but you are praying. No one knows you what you
10:42
are praying. No one seems to like you but you
10:44
are praying. No one's saying I will marry you. What
10:47
you are praying? Lord, what are we doing, he says,
10:49
keep praying. What is the name of what I'm doing?
10:52
Keep praying. At least give me a clue. He says,
10:54
you keep praying. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen,
10:58
if that season has not happened to you, then you
11:00
are not ready for traveil. This is one of the
11:05
spiritual trimesters. If you really want to give back to
11:09
the glory, he will pray. You will pray. Has nothing
11:14
to do with being a prayer warrior, has nothing to preach.
11:18
It is the protocol. When his heart was exceeding sorrowful,
11:22
the Bible says, he went and he prayed. He came
11:25
back and met this guy's asleep, and he went and
11:28
he prayed, and he went and he prayed, and he
11:32
went and he prayed. Someone shout, I will pray like
11:36
you are receiving the grace for prayer. I say, I
11:38
will pray. Not from a religious standpoint, say I will
11:41
pray alto sagata. Oh, I will pray. I don't know
11:49
what I'm praying about. What I will pray. He gave
11:51
me the prayer language. I will pray, I will pray.
11:55
I don't, I don't. I may not have what it
11:57
is that I'm praying for exactly, I will pray. We
12:00
know not what to pray for us we ought to.
12:02
But I have the advantage of the Holy Ghost, and
12:05
I pray. I can pray out the will of God.
12:07
I'm doing business in deep waters as I pray again say,
12:12
I will pray. Prayer is not for men of God.
12:19
It is a protocol to breathing the glory. The season
12:23
of separation demands prayer investments. I tell you, the Holy
12:28
Ghost will wake you while others are sleeping.
12:32
Speaker 2: He will touch that boarding again and you will stand
12:34
up and you will say, pray.
12:36
Speaker 1: There are times you will soak in worship for hours.
12:39
You are not a musician, You're not a worshiper. And
12:43
I tell you one of the ways you know there
12:45
are certain songs in that season that staying in your life.
12:50
You put them on repeat. No other song will minister
12:53
to your spirit. Sometimes it can just be a line
12:56
of that song, just one line, just one line, and
12:59
you stay there because there is a transaction. That song
13:03
is a ladder in the spirit, is opening you to
13:05
a dimension. I mean to preten for you what happens
13:08
in the spirit. It is true, it is true. Sometimes
13:14
it can be a verse of scripture. And you just
13:16
stay there, for we know that all things and the
13:19
scripture you've preached about, you know about life, comes from there. Sanna,
13:29
sobranteka paran luciaterlatos help those somebody annoying it shaprata blantas, Allelujah,
13:45
thank you. You must make pray investments, hear me, ladies
13:54
and gentlemen, I submit to you when you step in
13:59
two seasons of maney station, that's not when to build
14:03
the foundation of prayer. That's when to consolidate on the
14:07
years of prayer. He tapped Elijah and he said eat.
14:13
He ate a little and went back to sleep, and
14:16
he tapped him and said, listen, if you don't know
14:18
how far you're going, eat again. And the Bible says
14:21
he got up and he ate. For a young lady.
14:24
God is speaking to you before marriage comes, begin to invest.
14:28
You don't know what it means to combine motherhood. You
14:31
may not have that time. You need to build stamini
14:34
in the place of prayer. For a gentleman. Now that
14:37
you don't have a job. Instead of getting angry, why
14:40
don't you convert your pain to power and begin to
14:43
invest that time in prayer. South Africa say I will pray.
14:48
House of Treasure, shout, I will pray. Past Or, say
14:52
I will pray. Business Man, say I will pray every
14:57
spirit of prayerlessness over your life. I cast it right
15:02
now forever, I cost it, right now, forever, every prayer
15:06
less ministry. I came to introduce fire upon your altar.
15:10
Let fresh fire, prayer fire, Let fresh fire, apostolic fire,
15:17
rest upon your altar. In the name of Jesus, year me. Listen.
15:25
There is no gift of prayer. Pray, I say sacrifice, pray,
15:30
I say discipline. There is an increasing for you do
15:34
the pray.
15:42
Speaker 2: It is in that dimension that you understand the scripture
15:46
that says, call on to me, and I will answer
15:49
it says, I will show.
15:51
Speaker 1: You a body of knowledge called great a mighty things
15:57
connected to your destiny. Profit you don't know how far
16:01
you are going, stay in the place of prayer and
16:04
see great and mighty things. Imagine, my dear sister. You
16:08
may not know how far he's taking you, but you
16:10
stay and call on to him. Some are learning. I
16:19
learned to scapriators. Shannamanaba, call on to him, call on
16:25
to him. I remember season in my life where I
16:29
wake up in the night. I would go somewhere and
16:31
elevated place. From there, I could see a very large landscape,
16:36
and while people are sleeping, I'm there praying Lord, what
16:40
are we doing? I had snippets of where he was
16:42
taking me to, but I did not know how far
16:45
prayer investments.
16:47
Speaker 2: In prayer, you redeem years. In prayer, you redeem decades.
16:53
Speaker 1: Business Man, let me tell you this, you don't know
16:55
the challenges that are coming before you pray. Mother, you
17:00
don't know the challenges that are coming when your children
17:03
become teenagers. When that boding is there, pray, pray again, shout,
17:09
I will pray. Please be seated, Please be seated. There's
17:14
a lot I can unpack there, but I'm giving you
17:16
a summary of it. So the first trimester, the first season,
17:23
that burdens lead you into God ordained, God initiated burdens.
17:29
They lead you into the season of separation. Please do
17:33
not forget the things that characterize that season. I told
17:36
you Number one self discovery by the spirit, not by
17:39
social media takes away the noise and tells you who
17:42
you are in light of your prophetic destiny. Number two
17:48
a season of high level spiritual illumination, growth through knowledge
17:55
and understanding away together. Number three of personal transformation, where
18:03
your flesh dies, where character is built, and where your
18:07
mind is transformed. Number four, It's a season where you
18:13
begin to make very strategic prayer investments, like a man
18:19
sending vapor to your clouds, because one day it will rain,
18:23
and that is the rain that will turn your wilderness
18:26
into a fruitful vine. The Bible says, if the cloud
18:29
be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.
18:34
For some of you listening to me right now, in
18:37
this prophetic season, you are in a season of separation.
18:42
You have cried, you have sought for answers, and God
18:45
created and granted access that you came for this conference
18:50
so that you will learn He is giving language to
18:53
your experiences. You've gone through it, but you cannot really
18:56
explain what it is. This is the assignment of the
18:58
apostolic and the prophet to give language and definition to
19:02
your spiritual experiences so that it will comfort you. It
19:05
will help you very fine. Whether it's initiated of the
19:08
devil or initiated of God? Is someone learning now number two?
19:14
Very quickly? The second season likened to the second trimester.
19:19
Who is ready? This season is very strange. The season
19:27
is called the season of silence. This is where you
19:31
live in the silence of God. Pay attention and let
19:34
me teach you something very prophetic. Silent years. It is
19:40
the second season. You will learn to live in the
19:43
silence of God. For Moses, it was forty years, forty
19:50
solid years at the backside of the mountain, roaming around
19:53
like a fugitive. Yet that was the deliver of Israel.
19:57
For Israel, it was four hundred thirty years, and it
20:01
looked like the promise had failed. Where was God? As
20:05
they were being oppressed? They were all of those things
20:09
four hundred and thirty years. If someone learning prays the
20:15
name of the Lord, John was in the wilderness. The
20:21
Bible does not give us his exact timing, but we
20:23
know that he remained in the wilderness. That should be
20:26
Luke one eighty. He remained in the wilderness. Give it
20:30
to us. Look one eighty. He remained in the wilderness.
20:37
He was in the desert until the showing forth to Israel.
20:43
He remained there. That was the man who was accredited
20:46
by God to be the greatest of all the prophets.
20:49
Imagine if you stroll around the wilderness and you met
20:51
John eating locus wildhorney, receiving prophecies and roaming around, and
20:55
then it tells you, do you know that God has
20:58
ordained me to be the greatest prophet? Those who become
21:02
it usually don't look like it. The silence of God.
21:06
Listen for Jesus. You're Jesus, you would think because you
21:11
were the son of God and came as the Word incarnate,
21:14
he would be spared of these seasons. No. From age twelve,
21:19
we never hear about Jesus again. Never. We don't hear
21:23
anything about Jesus again. The next time we hear about
21:26
Jesus is thirty years old, eighteen solid years, and we
21:31
don't hear about the Savior. I mean, if I come
21:33
to the earth as a savior, you will hear me
21:36
from when I'm a baby. You have to listen to
21:38
me that I came to die for you. How does
21:42
the Savior go missing? Go silent? And Mark, Matthew, Mark Luke,
21:48
and John none of them could give us an explanation
21:52
where did he go to still a subject of argument
21:56
till today among theologians.
21:58
Speaker 2: How could a man suppose waste eighteen years of his
22:02
life when he came to carry out a serious assignment
22:07
like saving men? Never call your time of silence a waste. Listen, listen.
22:14
I don't know about you, but I know I'm speaking
22:16
to intelligent people. I cannot come for a thirty three
22:21
year old time span of assignment, and of.
22:25
Speaker 1: That thirty three years a toirty three years old, eighteen
22:28
years of that time. Don't you think that sounds like delay?
22:32
Don't you think that sounds like weakness? If you waste
22:35
eighteen years out of thirty three years, it's enough to
22:38
call you a failure. I'm sure you spiritual things. But
22:45
out of those eighteen years, three and a half years
22:49
came out, and those were the years of.
22:51
Speaker 2: Glory, and the assignment ended full stop. Let me comfort someone.
22:58
Speaker 1: It looks like five years has gone, three years, ten years,
23:01
and you're saying, Lord, is it that you don't know?
23:03
Don't worry. Out of those silent.
23:05
Speaker 2: Years, one year of glory will come out of those
23:09
silent years and will swallow up all the time of waiting.
23:13
Speaker 1: Who am my prophet signed to I'm speaking to a
23:15
man of God. I'm speaking to Do you believe this?
23:23
It's true? Please be see that the silence of God.
23:35
For Paul, it was about three years in the wilderness
23:39
of Arabia. In total it was about nineteen years, but
23:43
particularly I think that should be Galatians one eighteen give
23:46
it to us. Three years in the wilderness of Arabia
23:51
as an apostle. I hope you know this was after
23:53
he met Jesus. Then after three years, that's right, he says,
23:58
I went up to rules Sealem to see Peter and
24:02
aboard with him fifteen days. Three years. How do you
24:07
encounter Jesus? And then as soon as you encounter Jesus
24:11
you go to the wilderness of Arabia roaming around for
24:14
three years. But out of those years came the epistles,
24:22
those encounters when he began to make defense of his
24:27
apostleship in Efficient chapter three, from verse three down to six,
24:33
they came out of those three years. Most of Paul's
24:36
time we hear him teaching. Question when did he learn
24:40
those things he taught? Because there were not just things
24:42
he learned to subscribed and Pharisee, do you know, the
24:45
Bible does not detail for us his time of learning
24:48
and studies. We just know that he was disgingal revelations,
24:51
correcting everything, arranging everything. How that by revelation he says,
24:58
he made no known to me. The question is where
25:00
did that happen?
25:01
Speaker 2: Certainly was not in public, as I wrote a four
25:04
in few words that when you read verse four, verse four,
25:09
when you read, you may understand my knowledge. In the
25:12
mystery of Christ, it was downloaded onto him, which in
25:15
other ages was not made known to the sons of men,
25:18
as it is now revealed onto his.
25:20
Speaker 1: Holy apostles and prophets by the spirit. Now let me
25:25
tell you what this season carries very quickly. I hope
25:28
you're learning. It's a very strange season because, like I said,
25:33
you learn how to work by faith. You will live
25:36
in the silence of God. And there is a strategy
25:40
for surviving that season. Because Satan is an opportunist. If
25:44
you are not mentor to understand spiritual things, he will
25:48
cash in on that season and make you a bought
25:51
something you were doing right, because you see, he will
25:55
interpret the silence of God there's something wrong with you.
25:58
It will threaten yourself of righteousness is someone learning Now,
26:04
if it is true that God is calling me to
26:06
be a great man, why is he silent. I'll tell
26:11
you this, ladies and gentlemen, and I speak both from
26:14
experience and from the world of God. This is the
26:19
season where your actions are right, but you don't see results.
26:23
Everything is right, You don't need to change anything. Now.
26:26
We have this illusion that every time results don't come,
26:29
change what you are doing. It's not always so. There
26:32
are times you just need to keep going. That's it.
26:35
There is absolutely nothing wrong. Listen when there is a
26:38
contrast between your good doings, your alignment, the sincerity of
26:43
your obedience, and the results. You are praying, but you
26:46
are not seeing results. You may be a man of
26:50
God for one year. You are praying loving God, but
26:54
you have only five ten members. They come and they go.
26:57
Sometimes it's not about changing things. Just stay there.
27:01
Speaker 2: This is where you appreciate the staying power, the stamina,
27:05
the grace to remain. It's not always about changing things.
27:09
You are not always wrong. Imagine that a woman enters
27:13
a second trimester.
27:14
Speaker 1: And she begins to show all the constraints. What does
27:18
she need to do? Keep going? That's it. You are
27:21
doing the right thing. The constraints are not unusual. So
27:24
the Bible says, I reckon that the constrains, the sufferings
27:28
are we together?
27:29
Speaker 2: Now? There was a time in my life. Looking from hindsight,
27:35
I can tell you by the messy of God everything
27:38
was done right. The result had not just come. At
27:43
such times Satan begins to lie to you.
27:47
Speaker 1: Are we together? And at such times he begins to
27:53
give you inferior alternatives, and you are bought pressure. Seasons
27:57
haven't come so far. You how to live in this season?
28:02
You must learn patience and persistence Hebrews ten thirty six.
28:08
Let's hurry up. We have to pray patience and persistence. Everyone.
28:14
Please read this loud and clear, never forget it for
28:17
the rest of your life. Want to go for ye
28:20
have need of patience. Ahah that after you have done
28:25
the will of God. Notice that there is a gap
28:30
between doing the will of God and receiving the promise.
28:34
You have need of patience. After you have prayed, you
28:38
are fasted, you have given, you have obeyed the word.
28:43
Some of you have been made, for instance, to stop giving,
28:46
because truly you gave. But not knowing this season, the
28:50
devil began to say, so, where are the foods? Not
28:54
knowing that there's a spiritual DHL on its way to you,
28:58
and you want to have bought this season. Let me
29:01
speak to someone. The prophetic word for this season is stay. Stay. Stay,
29:08
Man of God. Stay. Don't compromise. You are a genuine prophet.
29:12
Just stay. Don't compromise, you are a genuine apostle. Just say,
29:17
no invitations yet, but stay, No notoriety yet, but stay.
29:22
You don't know who your husband is yet, but stay.
29:24
You don't know who the wife is Stay, no child yet,
29:28
but stay. You have given and given and giving, But stay,
29:34
I say, walkin in this ministry. You have served so lavishly,
29:38
You've celebrated the testimony of others, and you are beginning
29:42
to ask you is something wrong with me? Nothing is wrong. Stay.
29:46
Learn to live in the silence of God. Allelujah. Stay.
29:57
Turn to someone and says stay. Becoming prophet says Stay.
30:01
Galatians six and verse nine. The Bible says, and let
30:04
us not be weary. It's a season where there's weariness.
30:09
It will tell on your human nature. Even as a
30:12
man of God. You will cry. Let us not be
30:19
weary in well doing.
30:20
Speaker 2: Talk to me believers for in any season, in any season, No,
30:27
that is what we call dew season.
30:31
Speaker 1: And for someone who knows whether this years edition of
30:36
this conference is a signing the spirit that you are
30:40
finally stepping into your due season. I feel like prophets
30:44
signed to someone and I'm not motivating you, man of God,
30:48
And it seems to me like you came for this
30:51
conference to receive the mantle, the grace that announces you.
30:55
You have come again and again around Jesus, praying with Jesus,
31:00
loving Jesus, southing Jesus. Ah. I'm telling you this, ladies
31:04
and gentlemen, there is a you season in the spirit
31:08
where your destiny collides with the grace, collides with the anointing,
31:12
collides with the mantle. You believe that, Shout yes, shout
31:17
like you belief. Say yes, shout like you are receiving.
31:21
Say yes yes to that anointing, Yes to that season. Allelujah. Listen,
31:47
what do you do in that season? Fix your eyes
31:50
on Jesus, fix your eyes on your vision. Don't bend,
31:55
don't change, don't waste your time explaining your life to others. Oh,
32:00
I'm all right, it's us that I don't know no, no, no, no,
32:08
You don't need to explain your life. Who is learning.
32:13
You must learn to walk by faith. Ladies and gentlemen,
32:17
when God is silent, keep moving. Work with the last
32:21
instruction that came, and keep moving. When God is silent.
32:26
Let me teach you something the Lord taught me many
32:29
years ago. There are times you will not hear his voice.
32:34
When you don't hear his voice, trust his presence. Now listen,
32:42
the Bible says, we don't have the time. Please sit down.
32:47
Jesus entered the boat. Listen, and they said, let us
32:51
go to the other side. Are we together the land
32:54
of the gatherings? The Bible says. While they were on
32:57
their way going, Jesus was asleep, and there arose a
33:02
boisterous storm of wind. It shook the boat. Water began
33:07
to enter the boat, and the disciples were trying to
33:10
pour the water out.
33:12
Speaker 2: In that chaos, Jesus was sleeping. The disciples were perplexed.
33:16
They were angry. What were they angry about?
33:19
Speaker 1: His silence? And they went to wakehim. They said, chiless,
33:23
not doubt that we perish? Are you that? Are you
33:26
that insensitive to the reality of the situation? They would
33:31
have found comfort that even though they could not hear
33:34
his voice, he was still in the boat. God speaks,
33:39
but he does not always speak. He did not guarantee
33:43
that you will hear him every day and every time,
33:46
but he guaranteed his presence all the time. Is someone
33:51
learning the tuonome that you one five and six? God
33:56
is comforting someone the toronomey that one five and very quickly,
34:01
Thank you Lord Jesus. As soon as Zion travails give us.
34:08
Verse six, he says, be strong and of good courage,
34:17
fear not, not be afraid of them. It says for
34:21
the Lord that God. He is he that DoD go
34:24
wet with thee. He will not fail thee. He will
34:28
not forsake you. Let me speak to someone. When you
34:34
do not hear his voice, trust his presence. He is
34:39
not speaking. But just know that the fact that you
34:42
started that journey with him. The trouble is if you
34:45
started that journey on your own, before you start rocking
34:50
your boat, verified that Jesus is there, even if it's asleep,
34:55
it's a sign that you will not die. Let me
34:59
tell you this is a sterio season. This is not
35:01
a person's conference, but man of God I encourage you
35:04
because there are sometimes you can be ministry, and this
35:07
season can come upon you. God will not say a
35:11
word to you, But when someone comes for counseling, there
35:15
his voice comes. You will solve their problems and leave
35:19
and say God, what about me? And he comes back silent.
35:25
The silence of God is a language itself.
35:28
Speaker 2: He's teaching you to walk by faith, by faith, no guarantees,
35:38
but trust him.
35:41
Speaker 1: Fear not. Have redeemed you, He says, I have called
35:43
you by name. You are mine. When you walk through
35:46
the rivers, I will be with you when you pass
35:49
through the waters. It will not overwhelm you. It says,
35:51
when you walk through the fire as I forty three
35:55
one and two, it will not burn you. Fear not.
35:59
Fear not God for someone. Fear not. You've been talking
36:03
to God about this issue of a job. He's not
36:06
replied you. Fear not. You are a prayer warrior. You
36:09
are a prophet. You will receive prophetic words for others,
36:12
accurate prophetic words. But you've been saying Lord, are you
36:15
not saying that I go childless? Don't worry, Abraham, He
36:18
is coming. Your case is on his file. He will
36:21
visit you listen. God used listen to this. Listen to this.
36:29
God used Abraham to solve Lot's problem. Lord became abundantly
36:35
blessed because of Abraham, and Lot left, but Abraham was
36:40
still left to this issue. And Abraham went to God
36:43
one day and said, Lord, you've not said anything, seeing that,
36:46
I go childless. Okay, here is elias a, here a
36:50
discipule in my house. Use them and at least give
36:52
me a See. I'm becoming an old man every time
36:58
your humanity takes over. Don't give up. Don't be discouraged.
37:04
God is not mad at you, but learn to lean
37:07
on Jesus. Hallelujah, Praise the name of the Lord. I
37:16
used to sing a song back home. I will sor
37:19
with you above the storm. Father, you are king over
37:27
the floor. I will be stee and know you are
37:36
my soul.
37:37
Speaker 2: Be stee and know you am ministering to you. I
37:43
will be stee, Man of God. The ministry will blossom.
37:48
Speaker 1: Don't worry, prophetess, and they will come. The nations will
37:53
receive of your grace. Many times when you watch people, minister, yeah,
37:58
you see your future and you are saying how long.
38:01
The Bible says we see not our signs, and we
38:05
do not know how long. But I bring you a
38:07
word of comfort. You are in the season where you
38:10
are dwelling in the silence of God. It's not because
38:14
it's mad at you. It's not because anything has happened
38:17
to your righteousness. It is not because of lack of obedience.
38:22
It's a face. There is what you are learning there
38:26
in Hebrews eleven. We call it a good report. I
38:30
preach the message on this called the other side of faith,
38:33
that there's a dimension of faith that is not about
38:35
obtaining promises. It's about having a testimonial of trusting God.
38:41
There are times listen to me, ladies and gentlemen, for
38:44
the sake of your integrity. You can ask the Lord,
38:47
can you cause this man to not oppress me in
38:51
this office? And yet God keeps quiet, and then they
38:54
eventually suck you after praying. Listen, when prayer not produce results,
39:01
just give thanks because it means the wisdom of God
39:05
is working out something. Listen, this is spiritual education. This
39:09
is how maturity happens. The Bible says, for we know
39:13
there is an information we have in Christ. We know
39:16
that all things He didn't say all good things, all things,
39:20
all things. I'm comforting someone. Perhaps you have a sick
39:25
person at home, and the more you pray, the more
39:28
your health Decterial rates. Give thanks. Never charge God with
39:32
on faithfulness. It is the wisdom of the spirit. He
39:35
knows what he is doing. You trust that God, and
39:38
you believe that you would not lose the job. But
39:41
right now you've been jobless for one year and God
39:43
is not saying anything about it. The last time he spoke,
39:46
he said, go and work in church, And you're saying, God,
39:48
you mean, of all the things we have been discussing,
39:51
this is what matters to you most. I want to
39:54
sing that song one more time and comfort you.
39:57
Speaker 2: Even if I don't pray for the sick. If I
40:00
can't end here, I will leave satisfied. When the oceans
40:09
rise and turn the rule, I will soar with you
40:16
above the storm.
40:20
Speaker 1: Father, you are king over the flood.
40:26
Speaker 2: I will be still and know you, our God, my soul,
40:33
be still and know you. I will be still and
40:41
know you are God. I will be still and know you.
40:54
Business Man. The dream will come to pass. Joseph. You
40:59
are and the pit, and you are in the prison.
41:02
We don't know how long Joseph stayed in the prison.
41:04
Speaker 1: We know that no matter the years, two years were added,
41:07
this was the man who would deliver Egypt. And yet
41:11
there was silence. He would wake up every day and
41:14
go back to sleep, remembering that the sun, the moon,
41:18
and eleven stars bowed. I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen,
41:22
the one who can survive the silence of God is
41:25
ready to birth glory. You see by the message of God.
41:29
There are some of us who, because of that training,
41:33
we never ask God whether we see it. We've left
41:35
that realm He's called faithful in our lives. There is
41:40
a dimension you get to in God where you lose
41:42
the ability to complain. You have trained yourself to always
41:46
see His faithfulness, and even when there are no answers
41:49
for you, it's thanks, thanks, thanks that even though he's
41:53
slay me, yet were like trust him. I'm showing you
41:56
how people become men of stature in the spirit.
42:02
Speaker 2: I will be histing and know you, my God, my soul,
42:10
beting and know you.
42:15
Speaker 1: Allelujah. We walk by faith. When God is silent, trust
42:22
his presence. Even when you don't hear his voice. There
42:29
are times God is mysteriously silent.
42:32
Speaker 2: You ask questions and cry, and even meet someone who
42:36
is prophetic and say, please, can.
42:37
Speaker 1: God use your prophetic gift? And the man who say,
42:40
I can't lie to you. I didn't see anything. I
42:45
didn't see anything. I didn't see anything. Every time you
42:51
do not hear God, stay in the place of the
42:53
last instruction, stay there, Stay there for someone I came
42:59
to minister comforughts to you. You have cried, but stay.
43:03
He's faithful. You've cried, but stay. Stay. Every time righteousness
43:10
leads you to trouble, rejoice every time you're loving Jesus
43:16
lands you in trouble. Was it not the diligence of
43:19
Daniel that got him in the lions den? Was it
43:22
not the integrity of Joseph that led him to prisons?
43:26
I think I said it here the last time I
43:27
was here. Beware of two places, the prison and the cross.
43:32
There are too mysterious places. Never george anyone you see there,
43:36
because you may be judging Joseph.
43:38
Speaker 2: The prison is a mysterious place. It's a waiting room.
43:42
The prison is not.
43:44
Speaker 1: Always a place where cremin up stay. God disguises the
43:48
prison also as a waiting room. There are men in
43:51
the prison who did not get there by stealing that
43:54
got there because the word of the Lord is still
43:57
trying them. So while you are realizing and calling everyone
44:01
a prisoner, make sure you don't accuse yourself. The second
44:06
place where you have to be aware of is the cross.
44:09
Not everyone on the cross is a thief. You may
44:12
be insulting your savior because he joined the thiefs on
44:15
the cross. Many many people historically always persecute your saviors
44:22
because somewhere in the saviors making, he finds himself together
44:28
with criminals. Not because you sin, but because you are
44:31
carrying a burden. A burden can make you look like
44:36
a criminal. Sometimes you are subjected to the disciplines of criminals.
44:41
I mean, I'm just imagining it. I'm looking at the
44:44
cross in my vision, and of all the people hanging there,
44:47
I see the King of Glory at the epicenter of
44:51
the cross. Was it a scandal? Was it an accusation?
44:55
Was it prayerlessness? My interpretation, if I were in the
44:58
days of Jesus, would say his back's leading Jesus. Something
45:02
happened to you. You've left the annoying team. Where was
45:05
your prayer team? As you were being flowed sometimes it
45:09
is prayer that takes you there. I will be still,
45:21
know you are God, my soul. Be steem and.
45:30
Speaker 2: Just sing it one more time, and we'll go to
45:32
the third. I will bete and know you God, I
45:41
will bete.
45:43
Speaker 1: And know you. Hallelujah. So a pregnant woman called Zion
45:51
has made progress. The first trimester preparation, the second trimester,
45:58
the season of silence, learning to walk by faith. Let
46:02
me tell you how you know you have finished that season.
46:04
You no longer care whether the result happens or much
46:08
they will come. You go to God and say, Lord,
46:10
have come to a point where whether the sick are
46:12
healed or the moment results. Listen, the moment your joy
46:17
becomes disconnected from the coming in or the going out
46:21
of things, you are becoming a winner. That season has
46:23
come to an end. I'm showing you this. This is
46:26
a prophetic teaching. You will remain in that season until
46:30
you become detached to results. The call of that season
46:34
is to bring death that produces glory.
46:37
Speaker 2: Your ego will be stung and stungu and stung and
46:41
stung again. If that's a point where you no longer
46:44
care whether the results happen or not.
46:47
Speaker 1: Your joy is now connected to Him, not things. Yeah,
46:57
someone learning. If you can relate with what I'm saying,
47:03
then truly God is raising you in a very unique way.
47:08
Listen to me. Those who eventually obtain are those who
47:13
have the power to lose. This thing called the power
47:17
to lay it down happens during that season. You get
47:21
to a point where you say, Lord, at this point
47:24
in my life, it is no longer about results. I
47:28
want results. A child or no child, you are still
47:32
my God. Marriage or no marriage, children or no children,
47:37
a job or you see one who is a baby Christian.
47:40
When he hears you praying like that, you say, this
47:43
man does not have faith, Ladies and gentlemen. At that
47:46
point you have gotten into deep waters in the spirit
47:50
where the arrival or the departure of things no longer
47:56
affects you. You are ready to be a witness, the
48:00
point where God can say, give that car. And you
48:02
remember that he trained you before. I mean, my joy
48:06
and my reputation cannot be tied to it away together.
48:11
When God trains you well, you get to a point
48:14
where you become a celebrity without a celebrity mentality, whether
48:20
it's a crowd or one person. It doesn't matter that
48:23
that appett I died when you went through the second
48:27
trimester A t Skia Barrant, Sat Roberta and Docusa, are
48:39
you ready for the third one? And then we'll pray
48:42
glory to Jesus as soon as I'm on travel
