0:17
right in. In the name of Jesus we pray. Can we
0:25
just have our seats briefly? You can actually
0:29
be seated. Be hearing me and still be praying
0:34
in the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.
0:39
Glory to Jesus. You can actually be seated and
0:45
be hearing the message. And Jesus is bringing
0:49
the answers that you've been waiting for. You
0:52
can actually be hearing me. Be taking notes and
0:56
healing comes. Hallelujah. You can actually be
0:59
hearing me. And then certain things that have
1:02
been bothering you for some certain time probably
1:04
made you to be, you know, not to be able to sleep.
1:09
That direction will be received. Father, we thank
1:17
you. Lord, we bless you for we know the spirit
1:20
of wisdom and revelation is at work in our hearts
1:23
and in this atmosphere. As Lord, we hear the
1:26
word. As the teaching of the word is coming by
1:29
your spirit to us, veils are lifted, deeper experiences,
1:37
deeper encounters, answers are received. We have
1:43
a seeing eye. We have a hearing ear. We have
1:47
a perceiving heart through the teaching of the
1:50
word in the name of Jesus. Father, our lives
1:54
are transformed eternally. Father, we bless you.
1:59
Holy Spirit, help us. Please, Holy Spirit, help

2:09
please you help us. Please, Holy Spirit, help
2:12

2:17
Jesus' name, we pray. Hallelujah. I don't used
2:28
to do this, but I will learn it. Amen. I appreciate
2:32
the lead pastor and then all the pastorate for...
2:36
I just thought about it and it seemed good to
2:39
my heart to learn it. Hallelujah. Praise God.
2:43
Yeah, it just seemed good to my heart to learn
2:45
it. Often his pastor, if I see him do that, right?
2:52
Yes, I appreciate the lead pastor and then all
2:56
the pastors for the opportunity to be able to
2:59
teach. Hallelujah. Praise God on this subject
3:03
matter. Amen. Gifts of the Spirit. I trust that
3:08
the Holy Spirit will be able to speak louder
3:11
to us, even that the words that you're hearing.
3:16
Amen. Yes, that he speaks louder. Spirit of wisdom
3:20
and revelation. At work in our hearts all. Hallelujah.
3:25
Often I will say that. As I stand. And speak
3:28
here. I'm also privileged. Because certain things
3:31
I will say. You know. Or most of the things I
3:36
will say. Are a huge blessing also. To me. Praise
3:41
God. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.
3:51
What is the indwelling of the spirit? Let's start
3:53
from there. So today, tomorrow morning and in
3:59
the afternoon, let me tell us how the journey
4:03
is going to be. So we're just going to look at
4:06
the indwelling of the spirit today. Amen. In
4:10
the little time that we have, praise God. Tomorrow
4:13
in the morning session by God's grace, we're
4:18
going to discuss about. what the gifts of the
4:21
spirit are from first corinthians chapter 12
4:23
amen then we have two more sessions amen so the
4:29
two more sessions we have the first session half
4:32
of it we are just going to run over all the gifts
4:38
of the holy ghost we can't exhaust them here
4:40
he says why are we going to do that we are going
4:44
to do that because we need to practice more Praise
4:50
God. Hallelujah. Yes, so what I'm saying in essence
4:53
is that the half part of the first session, the
4:57
second one, we're going to pray all through.
5:03
When we come back after the break, we're going
5:05
to pray all through. Then minister all through.
5:11
Minister healing. Word of knowledge. Word of
5:15
wisdom. The prophetic. Walking of miracles. Gifts
5:22
of faith. So that half session, we will take
5:27
it to run over this. Just to know what is gift
5:29
of faith. What is word of knowledge and its operations.
5:33
So we're just going to look at a gift and its
5:35
what? Operation. A gift and its operation. A
5:39
gift and its operation. Detailed teachings that
5:43
we're going to do on this will come after the
5:46
Kadatismos. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Yes,
5:52
so do we understand how we are going to move?
5:55
Yes, I needed to tell us how we are going to
5:57
move. Praise God. So that our hearts are prepared.
6:00
Build up expectation for the things that are
6:03
going to come ahead. The things of the Spirit,
6:05
right, are not just received casually. The things
6:09
of the Spirit are received upon instructions
6:11
that are given. Silver and gold. we do not have.
6:16
But that which we have, we what? We give unto
6:19
thee. Do what? Do what? What are they telling?
6:24
Instruction. We have something from the supernatural,
6:29
but you will receive it upon what? Working with
6:32
the instruction. Blind bat mouse, what do you
6:36
want me to do for you? Sir, I want to see. He
6:45
said, oh, I've been here 38 years. I have no
6:49
one to carry me. Nobody. Come on, nobody. Nobody.
6:56
So, no relative. No grandfather. No grandmother.
7:00
No wife. No children. Nobody. I don't know whether
7:04
that guy was exaggerating or not. So, the big
7:08
question is, who came and dropped you there?
7:11
Who dropped you by the poolside? You had nobody.
7:14
So who was the nobody that brought you and dropped
7:17
you there that you were on that bed for what?
7:20
38 years. But Jesus said something. Do what?
7:24
What was the instruction Jesus gave him? And
7:27
do what? And carry your... Even when he got the
7:32
instruction, he was still saying, I have what?
7:35
Nobody. We have the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. We
7:42
have the Holy Ghost. So I'm giving us this direction
7:45
because this is how we are going to move. So
7:49
that all of us, you know, it will not be pastors,
7:51
pastors, pastors. Now it's going to be more and
7:55
more from us. So what I'm saying in essence is
7:58
as you are seated, expect the Holy Ghost to give
8:00
you a name in Zimbabwe of what Jesus is doing
8:03
regarding that person. As you are seated here,
8:06
expect Jesus to open your eyes and you will see
8:09
a situation. in Burundi over someone in Burundi
8:14
in a particular village that normally your mind
8:18
will not go there. Expect Jesus to bring that
8:21
instruction in this meeting through you even
8:23
as you are seated. Expect Jesus to bring into
8:28
your heart somebody that you know that has been
8:31
sick and then you take a phone and call the person
8:34
and say, lay your hands there. Because we just
8:37
received a word now that let's pray for every
8:40
sick person and the person would get healed.
8:43
You call the person, you pray for the person
8:46
and the person is up from that bed. That is the
8:50
atmosphere that we are in today. Hallelujah.
8:52
That is the atmosphere of greater works. A realm
8:57
of possibilities powered by faith in the finished
9:00
works of Jesus. And we are in that reality. Hallelujah.
9:07
Glory to Jesus. Yes, are we all there? So, we
9:10
are done with that part now. Ezekiel chapter
9:12
36 verse 22 to 28. Fast. Ezekiel. Everybody,
9:17
let's go there. Okay. Ezekiel chapter 36. Ezekiel
9:30
chapter 36 verse 22 to 28. I read. We know the
9:35
place. Therefore, say unto the house of what?
9:40
Say unto the house of where? Of Israel. Thus
9:44
said the Lord God, I do not this for your sakes.
9:48
O house of Israel, but for my what? Holy name's
9:52
sake, which ye have profaned among the hidden
9:57
without what? Ye. That word profaned, it means
10:02
that you treated my name in a common way among
10:06
unbelievers. Hallelujah. You treated it with
10:10
disdain among unbelievers. And I will what? I
10:19
will. You have treated my name as common, right?
10:24
I will do what? Will. So I am the one that will
10:30
do it. I will sanctify my what? Though you have
10:34
treated it, you have profaned it, yet I will
10:37
sanctify my great name, which was profaned among
10:42
the what? Hidden. Which you have profaned in
10:45
the what? In the midst of them. So God is speaking
10:49
through Ezekiel to the house of where? The house
10:51
of Israel, right? And the hidden shall know that
10:54
I am the Lord, said the Lord God, when I shall
10:56
be sanctified in you before their eyes. 24. For
11:01
I will take from what? Among the hidden. I will
11:05
take you, sorry, from among the hidden and gather
11:08
you out of all countries and will bring you into
11:12
your own land. Does this look like salvation?
11:15
Does it look like salvation, everybody? Good.
11:18
And then he said, 25. Now, then I will sprinkle
11:21
clean water. Hallelujah. I will take you. I will
11:26
save you from among the hidden. Right? And I
11:29
will do what? I will now cleanse you. Why will
11:32
God do that? Previously, the house of Israel
11:35
among the hidden have not lived in the ways of
11:39
God. They have disdained, profaned the name of
11:43
God among the hidden. Amen? So what God will
11:45
do is that in his saving, in his salvation for
11:48
the house of Israel, he will clean them. Mind
11:51
you, Where we started reading, he said, I will
11:54
sanctify my great name. So what God is saying
11:59
is that how I will sanctify my great name is
12:03
that the first thing I will do is that I will
12:05
do what? I will pick you. I will save you. Glory
12:09
to Jesus. When I save you, I will do what? I
12:13
will cleanse you. Then now, let's keep reading
12:16
now. See what God is doing in how he is sanctifying
12:19
his great name. He said, and I will bring you
12:24
into your own what? Into your own land. Pastor
12:30
Ephraim has taught us about this. Then I will
12:33
sprinkle clean water upon you and yes, I'll be
12:35
what? Clean from all your filthiness and from
12:39
your all idols. From all your idols will I what?
12:44
So how did they profane the name of God among
12:47
the hidden? They were living in filthiness and
12:51
they were living in what? Worshiping and serving
12:54
what? Idols. So God will remove them. He will
12:59
save them. He will clean them from all their
13:01
filthiness and from all the worship of what?
13:04
Of idols. So far so good. Is it clear what God
13:08
is doing? Good. 26. Then now, after he has removed
13:13
them and cleansed them, see what the next thing
13:15
that God will do now in 26. What will he do?
13:18
Everybody let's read together. I will do what?
13:23
I will give you a what? This group of people
13:28
were living among hidings in filthiness. They
13:31
disdained the name of God. They didn't walk in
13:33
his ways. So what God is saying is that I will
13:37
cleanse you. I will remove you. I will not leave
13:39
you among them. I will not leave you in darkness.
13:42
I will move you from the kingdom of darkness
13:44
and translate you into the kingdom of light.
13:47
So what I will do is that when I translate you,
13:51
what is happening? Even though we are going to
13:53
look at it. Because salvation comes with sanctification
13:56
at the same time. Even though here. Prophet Ezekiel
13:59
is giving them the instruction. It looks like
14:00
when God removes them. Then he will bath them
14:02
with clean water. After he now bathed them. He
14:04
will do a surgery. Remove the old heart. And
14:07
then put a new heart. No. We are going to look
14:09
at it. Because these are prophetic words. Hallelujah.
14:12
They are not literal words. They are prophetic
14:14
what? Words. Denoting what God is doing. Regarding
14:18
the nation of Israel. So he will bring them.
14:22
But you see, because they've lived in filthiness
14:25
for a while, they've lived in worship of idols
14:27
for a while, they have been cultured in that
14:30
way. Their mind is already postured in that manner.
14:33
So what Jesus or what God will do, right? What
14:37
God will do is that he will have to what? Give
14:40
them a what? A new heart. And a what? And a new
14:48
spirit will I put within you. And I will take
14:53
away the what? The stony heart. If it's your
14:56
Bible, you can say, that stony heart, the heart
14:59
of filthiness. The heart of worship of idols.
15:03
That has caused you to profane my name among
15:07
the hidden. So I'm going to give you a new heart
15:09
and I'll put my spirit there. Hallelujah. Then
15:13
now, see what God is doing. I will take away
15:17
a stony heart of flesh and I will give you a
15:19
heart of what? A heart of flesh, 27, everybody.
15:22
And I will put my what? I will put, whose spirit
15:26
is he putting there? I will put my spirit within
15:33
you. And I will take away, sorry, within you
15:37
and cause you to do what? So a new heart, having
15:42
a new spirit. Whose spirit? God's spirit. So
15:49
now they have a new heart and they have God's
15:51
spirit within them. What do you expect will be
15:54
happening? What will now be happening is that
15:57
yea shall keep my what? Sorry, I'll put my spirit
16:01
within you and cause you to walk in my status
16:05
and yea shall keep my judgment and what? So do
16:09
you think that if they will keep God's judgment
16:11
and walk in his status now that they have his
16:14
spirit with a new heart? Are they going to find
16:17
it difficult to do it? Why? Somebody should tell
16:20
me why. Why? Because they have what? They have
16:25
the aiding of the Spirit of God. Another thing
16:31
is that now it would be easier for them to know
16:34
God's status, right? And also walk in His ways.
16:40
28 now, we are going to stop there. And ye shall
16:43
dwell in the land I gave to your fathers and
16:47
ye shall be my what? My people and I will be
16:52
your what? You see, so what validated them to
16:56
be God's people and God being their God is that
17:00
now they have his what? His spirit. We're getting
17:04
it. Let me move fast. So which means that the
17:11
man that has the spirit of God dwelling in him
17:14
is the man of God and God is his God. Do you
17:20
understand what I just said now? So the man that
17:22
has the spirit of God dwelling in him, let me
17:25
put it this way. In Bible language, that man
17:29
is the people of God and God is his God. Do we
17:34
understand? Do we understand everybody? Is it
17:37
clear? Good. Now, upon saying that now, you will
17:44
see that what God is saying is that, I will.
17:47
So when you go to verse, let's start reading
17:49
from verse 22, everybody. You see, what God will
17:52
start saying in verse 22, He said, Therefore,
17:55
say unto the house of Israel, Thus said the Lord,
17:58
I do not do this for your sakes, O house of Israel,
18:01
for mine holy namesake, which ye have profaned
18:05
among the hidden, whither ye went. 23, everybody
18:08
now. First is that you will see, 23 say, I what?
18:13
And I will. The next I will, you will see it
18:20
in what verse? Read your Bible and tell me. 24,
18:25
I will take you from among the what? The hidden.
18:32
And then that simply say, and will bring you
18:36
into your what? into your own land. 25. Then
18:41
will I, or we can say, then I will sprinkle what?
18:47
Clean water. Are we all here? From your old filthiness,
18:51
from your idols, then I will cleanse you. Can
18:55
you see what the scripture is saying? I will,
18:57
I will, I will, I will, I will. All through you
19:01
see, I will. So if we check, I will, I will,
19:04
I will, it's about seven times. So what's that
19:14
telling us? That's telling us that God now is
19:18
giving a personal commitment to this promise
19:23
to the house of Israel. He's not leaving it for
19:27
them to do it. He's saying that I am the one
19:30
that will do what? Do it. So when I come and
19:36
tell you that, you know, Christy, don't worry,
19:39
I will. buy you a house in Iskele, I will furnish
19:45
it. I will buy you a Cadillac. Then I will open
19:50
you HSBC account. I will. So that there will
20:00
not be boundaries of Turkey and this thing, you
20:02
know, international. Do you think Christy in
20:08
her mind would be thinking she's the one that
20:09
would do all those things? First she's going
20:11
to look at herself first. Iskele. We never finished
20:16
Lefkosha. Stop that joke. But you see. If Christy.
20:30
Has an understanding of my ability. And who I
20:35
am. And I'm worth. $35 billion. Do you think
20:44
when I tell her that kind of statement, she will
20:46
start doing, ah, sir, ah. What do you think she
20:49
will do? Ah. She's a wise woman, right? She will
20:57
say, ah, sir. Hey, how about my friend, Samantha?
21:05
What do you think, sir? Why? Because she knows
21:10
that everything that I said is not up to $500
21:14
,000. So you see, Christy will not be afraid
21:21
because she knows I am the one that is committed
21:24
to do what? To do it. I don't need her participation.
21:33
All I need from her, all, all I need from her,
21:38
Is what? What do I need from her? For you to
21:44
believe. I don't need anything from her. Because
21:50
I'm the one that will do it. Move her from Sierra
21:59
Leone. Say, no more Sierra Leone. Now, she's
22:11
sure. See, this is how strong what God is saying
22:18
here. This is how powerful. I'm trying to get
22:21
an extreme, extreme strong word. This is how
22:25
committed God is to that promise he was giving
22:29
to the house of Israel. Do you know why? Because
22:33
the spirit of God is involved. He's putting his
22:39
spirit there. He's putting himself there. I'll
22:46
just say something now by the Spirit of God.
22:48
Which means that the man that has the Spirit
22:51
of God, God is committed to you eternally. Nothing
22:59
missing, nothing broken, your life can never
23:03
waste. Never. God is committed. Him is committed
23:08
to you eternally. I'm moving ahead of myself,
23:13
however. So we see God saying, I will put my
23:18
spirit, I will put a new spirit into them. What
23:25
he's not saying is that I'm bringing what? A
23:27
newness to them. I will remove them from their
23:30
filthiness. I will remove them from their idol
23:32
worship. And I'm bringing them into a newness,
23:35
into a new life. I will do something among them
23:40
that they've never experienced before. And when
23:44
I do it, they will be called my people and I
23:46
will be called their God. Hallelujah. That's
23:50
what God is doing. So what can we see from this?
23:59
Because God is redeeming them from the hidden
24:01
and he's doing all these things. So what we see,
24:04
two things we see if you're writing. With salvation
24:08
comes the giving of the Spirit. With salvation,
24:16
with redemption comes the what? The giving of
24:19
the Spirit. Comes with the indwelling of the
24:25
Spirit. Let me put it that way. With salvation
24:29
comes the indwelling of the what? The Spirit.
24:33
Somebody say, how did we come by? Hope everybody
24:36
we understood what prophet Ezekiel said about
24:39
the house of Israel, right? They were living,
24:42
they profaned God's name, living in filthiness,
24:46
in idol worship among the heathens. God said,
24:48
I will remove you from them, right? I will cleanse
24:51
you, give you a new heart, then put my what?
24:55
My spirit. That's where we got this summary.
24:58
With redemption, with salvation comes the what?
25:02
Indwelling of what? of the spirit where did we
25:05
get this from from this same place so you see
25:08
we don't need to go to romans epistles to see
25:13
the salvation of god and then the giving of the
25:16
holy ghost hallelujah are we all here good perfect
25:20
so now ezekiel 37 verse 9 everybody let's go
25:29
there Ezekiel 37, verse 9. Let's read from verse
25:34
5. Let's see another restoration and then, or
25:38
salvation or redemption and then the giving of
25:40
the Spirit. Thus said the Lord God, verse 5.
25:45
Thus said the Lord God unto these bones, Behold,
25:47
I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye
25:51
shall what? Who will do it? I will cause what?
25:57
Breath. Glory to Jesus. 6. And I will lay sinus
26:02
upon you and I will bring up flesh upon you and
26:06
cover you with skin and put breath in you and
26:08
ye shall live and ye shall know that I am what?
26:11
I am the Lord. So I prophesied as I was what?
26:18
Commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a what?
26:22
A noise and behold a what? A shaking and the
26:27
bones came what? Together. Bone to his bone.
26:32
And when I beheld, Lord, the sinus and the flesh
26:36
came up, what? Just like God said it, right?
26:40
Came upon them and the skin covered them above.
26:43
But there was, what? No breath were in them.
26:48
Verse 9 now, everybody. Then God, now say he
26:53
unto me, prophesy unto what? Unto the wind. Prophesy,
26:58
son of man. And say to the wind. Thus said the
27:02
Lord God. Come from the four winds. All breath.
27:06
And breath upon this slain. That they may what?
27:10
That they may live. Ten now. Let's stop there.
27:12
So I prophesied. I commanded me. And breath came
27:16
into them. And they lived. And stood up upon
27:19
their feet. And exceeding what? Great what? A
27:25
me. That word breath. That word breath, B -R
27:32
-E -A -T -H -E, is translated from the Hebrew
27:36
word nafak. Nafak is N -A -P -H -A -C -H. Nafak.
27:48
Nafak. N -A -P -H -A -C -H. It's the same word
27:56
that is also used in Genesis chapter 2 verse
27:58
7. Genesis chapter 2 verse 7. Same word. Somebody
28:04
will say. How are you people checking this Hebrew.
28:06
And this Greek thing that you are saying. From
28:10
interlinear dictionary. Can you see how smart
28:13
we are. We did not go to any Greek school. No
28:20
Greek. Maybe that's the fact that I said. They
28:23
may slap me. If I'm somewhere in their environment.
28:28
That's how we got it. So why are we checking
28:30
the original meaning so that we can understand
28:34
the context? We will not carry advanced learner's
28:38
dictionary meaning and put it there. Merriam
28:41
-Webster's dictionary, no. So when we come to
28:45
the scriptures, we want to understand it in the
28:47
original language that it was written. What was
28:50
the meaning? And what is the context saying?
28:53
Hallelujah. So if you don't have one, download
28:56
it on your phone. That is where we are reading
28:58
it from. Glory to Jesus. Are we all there? Good.
29:03
So Genesis 2, 7 now. I said it was also the same
29:06
word I was using. Genesis chapter what? Chapter
29:09
2, verse 7. And the Lord God formed man from
29:12
the dust of the ground and did what? And breathed
29:16
nafak into his what? Nostrils, the breath of
29:20
life. And the man became a what? A living soul.
29:28
We see a breathing of life. In the valley of
29:35
the bones, we see a breathing of what? Of life.
29:38
And suddenly now, we see them what? Living. Oh,
29:43
let me say this now. I just dropped it in my
29:45
head. The man that does not have the spirit of
29:48
God is not alive. Do you know what I just said?
29:54
The man that does not have the spirit of God
29:56
is not what? It's not alive. I don't mean that
30:01
he's dead walking literally. You go out now and
30:05
then you see these people in the cafe. Or you
30:08
move around. Or you go and see your lecturer
30:10
and say you're a dead man. You will be dead for
30:14
the next 10 years in the school. Or you go and
30:18
meet your boss and say you're a dead star. You're
30:22
gone. No, I don't mean it that way, literally.
30:31
Why we are alive as believers is because we have
30:35
the spirit of who? The spirit of God. So with
30:39
redemption, you will see a breathing of life.
30:42
So what God did or what God prophesied through
30:44
Ezekiel for the house of Israel, right, is that
30:47
I am going to breathe my spirit into you. I'm
30:51
going to put my spirit where? In you. So with
30:55
redemption, with salvation, what we are going
30:57
to be seeing consistently, we're going to go
30:59
through scriptures. You're going to see God put
31:01
his what? His spirit. That's what we are seeing.
31:08
Glory to Jesus. Are we all here? 1 Corinthians
31:12
chapter 6, everybody. Let's see 1 Corinthians.
31:18
So once we see deliverance, once we see salvation
31:21
of God, and then we see The redemption of God.
31:25
What we are going to see. As God is redeeming.
31:27
Right. He is redeeming to himself. Glory to Jesus.
31:31
And how God redeems to himself. Is that he puts
31:34
his spirit there. He puts his spirit there. 1
31:37
Corinthians chapter 6. Verse 19 to 20. 1 Corinthians
31:40
chapter 16. Chapter 6. Verse 19 to 20. What?
31:46
Know ye not that your body is what? Is the temple
31:50
of what? Of the Holy Ghost. Which is where? In
31:56
you. Which ye have of who? So the Holy Ghost,
32:00
you receive the Holy Ghost from who? From God.
32:03
And the Holy Ghost is where? Is in you. And you
32:07
are not your own. Next verse. How is it that
32:11
you have not become your own? He said, for you
32:14
have been bought by a what? You have been redeemed
32:18
with a price. Your body is the temple of the
32:22
Holy Ghost that dwells in you that you have received
32:28
from God. How did you receive it? Because you
32:33
were bought with a what? With a price. Which
32:36
price? Jesus' death, burial and what? Resurrection.
32:42
So the blood was shed. You were bought with a
32:45
price. And the evidence of that price is the
32:49
giving of the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. That's
32:54
the evidence of what God did. Now he now says
32:58
that what? From this knowledge and from this
33:01
reality of what God has done for you, therefore
33:04
you should do what? Glorify God in your body
33:07
and in your spirit, which are what? Which are
33:10
God's. You know, you know we, God just looks
33:16
at the inward appearance. He does not look at
33:19
the outward appearance. Okay. We. God is spirit.
33:28
We. Right? Are spirit. We have a soul. We live
33:33
where? In the body. So which means that we will
33:37
discern your inward appearance and we will also
33:39
see your outward appearance. It's as simple as
33:45
that. Why did I say this statement? I said that
33:49
statement because of this. He said, therefore
33:51
glorify God where? In your body. Some verses
33:55
will now say, glorify God with your members.
33:59
And in your what? Spirit. Which are what? Which
34:03
are God's. So you see, with redemption, we now
34:08
see the giving of what? Of the spirit. 1 Corinthians
34:13
3 .16. 1 Corinthians 3 .16. Just go with me gradually.
34:21
It's greater works. I've already given us the
34:23
curriculum, how we are moving, right? 1 Corinthians
34:27
3 .16. Are we all there? Dwelleth where? In you.
34:43
Hallelujah. Can we see another evidence again?
34:46
Perfect. Acts chapter 20 verse 28. So with purchasing,
34:52
with buying, you know, what we are seeing, that
34:57
word to purchase or what we see the scripture
35:01
will say, God has bought us. Right? It's a language
35:06
of redemption. Hallelujah. It's a language of
35:10
what? Of redemption. So what God did is that
35:14
he will give the blood of Jesus to redeem us
35:19
back to where? To himself. So he wasn't doing
35:23
it like a commodity. You go and buy Beko television.
35:26
No. That's not what God did. Amen? We are coming
35:32
to it. Take heed therefore unto yourselves and
35:35
to all the flock over... The which the Holy Ghost
35:39
had made you overseers to feed the church of
35:43
God. Which he did what? Purchase with his what?
35:47
With his own blood. Because he purchased the
35:50
church with his own blood. That is where his
35:52
spirit is. Glory to Jesus. Are we all here? Perfect.
35:57
Good. So, 1 Peter chapter 1. You can add this
36:01
1 Peter chapter 1 verse 18 to 19. 1 Peter 1,
36:05
verse 18 to 19. Romans 8, verse 9. So all the
36:08
scriptures we are reading, when you go through
36:10
them, you will see that these scriptures are
36:11
consistent with the promise of the prophets regarding
36:15
what God will do through his son, Jesus Christ.
36:19
Hallelujah. Very consistent. Very consistent.
36:28
Then now, let's go to John. John chapter 4, everybody.
36:37
John chapter 4, verse 10 to 14. Say, I have the
36:46
Spirit of God. Say, I have the Spirit of God.
36:50
I have the Spirit of God. I can't hear us. I
36:53
have the Spirit of God. And He dwells in me.
36:57
And He dwells in me. He quickens me to do greater
37:02
works. He quickens me to do supernatural things.
37:06
Glory to Jesus. 10 verse to 14 now. John chapter
37:12
4. See, Jesus answered and said unto her, If
37:14
thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that
37:19
said to thee, Give me to drink, thou wouldst
37:22
have asked of him, and he would have given thee
37:25
what? Living water. Before I move, can everybody
37:29
now explain Ezekiel, where we read Ezekiel 36?
37:34
Can you go out of this place and explain Ezekiel
37:37
36 to somebody? Can we all explain it? How God
37:41
put his spirit? Can we do that? And then we take
37:45
a lesson of redemption and the indwelling of
37:47
the spirit? Can we do it? Can you do it? Can
37:52
you do it, man of God? Okay, good. So now, let's
37:57
now come to John. John chapter 4. We know this
38:03
story, so let's read carefully. Like this woman,
38:24
she's quoting everything. He said, I will give
38:26
you living water. So she's asking, you don't
38:28
have anything to draw. Where are you going to
38:30
get the what? The living? Water. She is very
38:34
literal with him. She is not putting no meaning.
38:38
No nothing. Amen. Then now she said. Are thou
38:42
greater than our father Jacob. Which gave us
38:45
the well. And drank thereof himself. Ancient
38:49
well. It's an ancient well then. And his children.
38:51
And his cattle. And probably they must have been.
38:55
Priding themselves in that well. Right. Then
38:59
now. Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever
39:03
drinketh of this water from the well of your
39:07
forefathers, Jacob, that you are feeling, you
39:10
know, you are trying to exaggerate and talk about
39:14
it, feeding of his cattle. Whosoever shall drink
39:17
of this water shall do what? Shall thirst again.
39:20
But whosoever drinketh of the water I shall what?
39:26
That I shall give him shall never what? But the
39:32
water that I shall give him shall be in him a
39:36
well of water springing up into what? Everlasting
39:40
life. So what can we see here? Pastor Fred told
39:46
us. Pastor Victor told us. We see Jesus used
39:50
earthly things to communicate what? Heavenly
39:53
realities. So what Jesus? Jesus is taking the
39:58
use of water. right to communicate what a heavenly
40:02
reality to the woman and that is why no wonder
40:05
the woman will say please so you don't have anything
40:08
to draw what even from this well so how can you
40:11
draw living water and then give us to what to
40:15
drink. In fact, Jesus now made it more complicated
40:17
for her. He said, this water you are drinking,
40:20
you will drink and come back in five minutes.
40:22
But there is one I will give you. When you drink
40:24
it, you will not thirst again. In fact, your
40:27
reality will not stop at not being thirst again,
40:30
but from within you. If I'm there, I'll be wondering,
40:34
so, please, so, can you tell me what kind of
40:37
water is that? Or maybe I'll say, see, you're
40:42
confusing me the more. So we see Jesus will take
40:48
use of the water to teach what? To teach about
40:52
a heavenly reality. What is he teaching about?
40:56
He's teaching about newness. Where we are coming
40:59
from, from Ezekiel. He's teaching about what?
41:02
Redemption. He's teaching about salvation. He's
41:06
teaching about what will happen. What will happen
41:10
in the man that will take part of this water.
41:16
That's what Jesus was telling her. You see, he
41:20
said, Whosoever shall drink it from what? From
41:24
this shall never what? Tast again. Then he now
41:29
said, Whosoever that has taken of this living
41:32
water, from him shall be a springing of this
41:38
living water unto what? Everlasting. Can you
41:43
take note? Can you see what Jesus will say now?
41:46
He said that this water, is it going to be poured
41:51
on him or he will bath with it? Where is it going
41:56
to happen? The water. Let's read from here. In
42:03
fact, let's read from everybody. But whosoever
42:06
want to go. Who shall do the giving of the water?
42:15
Who will give the water? Good. Yes. Shall never
42:19
what? Continue about there. But the water that
42:27
I shall give him, he shall use it to brush his
42:29
teeth. He shall use it to bath. The water will
42:33
be where? Where are we going to find the water?
42:36
In him. And shall be a what? A well of water
42:43
springing up into what? So a water within you
42:48
now becoming a well and springing up to what?
42:53
Everlasting life. So question is, will Jesus
42:56
be speaking about literal water? No, reason with
43:01
me. Don't be mindless. Reason with me. I now
43:04
meet you and say, Pastor TK, you know yesterday
43:08
I just branched somewhere and I got this water
43:10
in bottle. You know, if you just take one shot,
43:13
you know, that one shot can stabilize you and
43:18
not only stabilize you. Anytime you want stability,
43:21
just do like this. Because that water will form,
43:25
that one shot will form a well of shots inside
43:28
you. What do you think Pastor Tiki will be thinking
43:32
I'm doing? You know? Jesus would have not been
43:41
speaking literally that he will give you water.
43:44
The water will now be a well of water inside
43:46
you. And then now he's connecting the well of
43:50
water to everlasting life. Or to everlasting.
43:54
It will not make sense. It will not add up. I
43:57
drink water, it becomes a well. And that well
44:00
now is on to what? Everlasting. He must be communicating
44:04
something. And now Jesus will say, it shall be
44:08
in him. You know where we're coming from, from
44:10
Ezekiel. He said, I will put my spirit and where
44:13
will my spirit be? My spirit will be in them.
44:19
So the indwelling of the spirit is always where?
44:23
In the believer. Take note of that because that
44:26
will connect us to something that is coming ahead.
44:29
The indwelling of the spirit of God is always
44:33
where? In the believer. In the believer. So what
44:42
Jesus was symbolizing from that place is that,
44:45
you see what we read? He said, I am the one that
44:47
will give you the water. Right? So question is,
44:51
where will Jesus come from heaven? Or where will
44:53
Jesus come? Is he buckets of water as he has?
45:00
He will not be speaking about water. Glory to
45:02
Jesus. So what Jesus was speaking about, Jesus
45:05
was speaking about what? Spirit. He was speaking
45:11
about the Holy Ghost. He says, how do we know
45:14
that Jesus is speaking about what? The Holy Ghost.
45:18
We are coming to it now. But before we go to
45:22
that now, go to John chapter 3, verse 3 to 8.
45:24
Everybody, let's be fast so that we see the use
45:26
of water, water, water, water, water, water,
45:28
water. Jesus was not literally speaking about
45:38
literal water. I was talking about what? The
45:42
spirit. Question is, how did you know it's the
45:44
spirit? We're looking at scriptures now. Everybody
45:47
follow the scriptures. John 3, verse 3 to 8.
45:50
Are we all there? Are we all there? Let's start
45:55
reading from verse 1 to give us context. There
45:57
was a man of the Pharisees named Nicodemus, a
46:00
ruler of the Jews. The same came to Jesus by
46:02
night and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that
46:04
thou art a teacher come from God, for no man
46:06
can do these miracles that thou doest except
46:08
God be with him. Three. Jesus answered and said
46:11
unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except
46:14
a man be born again, he cannot, what? See the
46:18
kingdom of God. For Nicodemus said unto him,
46:21
How can a man be, what? Born again? You see,
46:25
every time Jesus speaks, they take his words,
46:28
what? Literal. Then now, when he is old, you
46:35
see, Jesus is talking about born again. Him,
46:38
he's talking about, what? entering the womb,
46:40
and then what? Be born again. Be given birth
46:44
to. He said, how can you be born again when he
46:47
is old? Can he enter the second time into his
46:50
mother's womb and be born? Jesus said, verily,
46:54
verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born
46:57
of... Let's read it now, this class. Except a
47:01
man be born of water and of... The spirit, he
47:07
cannot enter where? Into the kingdom of God.
47:12
That which is born of the flesh is flesh. And
47:14
that which is born of the spirit is what? Is
47:17
spirit. Where we are coming from in John chapter
47:32
4, he talks about, I will give you water. And
47:36
when I give you that water, that water will spring
47:39
up to everlasting life. And then now we are seeing
47:42
him now in another event. He's relating water
47:45
to give him back. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.
47:51
Do we understand? So now, have you read that
47:55
now carefully, everybody? Right? When we now
47:59
read, let's go back there so that we can just
48:01
pay attention to that because we're going to
48:03
build on that. It's going to help us in the coming.
48:06
Things that we're going to do. Verse 4, everybody.
48:12
Let's read verse 4. Nicodemus said unto him,
48:16
carefully everybody, read your Bible. How can
48:19
a man be what? Born when he is old. Can he enter
48:24
the second time into his mother's womb and be
48:26
born? 5. Jesus answered, verily, verily, I say
48:29
unto thee, except a man be born of Water and
48:35
of the Spirit. So do you think Jesus is talking
48:38
about you will be born twice? There will be a
48:41
first. You will go and be born of water. Then
48:45
you'll be a Mami Water child. Right? You know,
48:48
in our place, Mami Water, people that live around
48:51
the Riverine area, they say when they give birth,
48:52
they will carry the child and go and then either
48:54
they throw him inside the water or they point
48:56
him to water. I don't know. Whatever. Right?
48:59
Yes. Woman of God is smiling about this thing.
49:02
You know, the people from my area are close to
49:04
that experience. Is he saying that you will first
49:09
be born of water? Think about how possible it
49:13
is. I want you to engage your mind. Everybody,
49:15
don't be mindless here. Think about how first
49:18
they will born you with water, right? Then after
49:21
they born you with water, then they will now
49:23
born you with what? With spirit. Then you have
49:29
now entered into the kingdom of God. You know,
49:32
we still have some certain photos that will go
49:34
to Salamis area to confirm. Yeah, public confirmation,
49:40
you know, of how, but we are not following scripture
49:45
because we are doing spirit before water. You
49:48
know, so I don't think we have entered into the
49:50
kingdom. Damn, okay. Right? So, we will go, you
50:00
know, Me at that time, I even say, I think if
50:04
they don't immerse me, when the trumpet sounds,
50:08
because the one in our area, they will carry
50:11
a cup of water and say, they will just sprinkle
50:14
on you when you are a child. They will just pour
50:16
the thing. Say, no, it's not complete. We want
50:20
to experience the one that they will put us inside.
50:22
When they put you inside and then you jack up,
50:24
then a bird will just come and descend on your
50:27
shoulder. They now took me to Yarem Down and
50:33
then they dipped me inside the swimming pool.
50:36
When I came out, nothing happened. We can dip
50:46
you in River Jordan. Right? I don't know whether
50:50
that's the, based on that's the, Victor can tell
50:54
us. I don't know which of the rivers there again
50:56
is sacred. We can dip you in River Jordan. Close
51:00
to where John the Baptist was. And bring you
51:04
out. If you don't believe in the death, burial
51:07
and resurrection of Jesus. You don't have his
51:10
spirit. So Jesus was communicating a reality
51:15
here. Amen. He was communicating a reality. So
51:20
now. Back to what we are doing. So we see now
51:24
there's an article that Jesus will now point
51:27
to. Everybody, let's go there carefully because
51:29
we're doing Bible study now. Then Jesus said,
51:31
verily, verily, I say unto you, except a man
51:34
be born of what? Except a man be born of water
51:40
and of the, and of the. So every time we see
51:46
the spirit, what does it connot? When we see
51:51
the spirit. How about when we see a spirit? What
51:56
does it tell us? When we see a spirit, it means
51:58
what? There are other spirits. How about when
52:04
we see the spirit? What does it mean? It's specific.
52:09
It now tells us the article definitely for the
52:14
word spirit. But you see when he was talking
52:16
about water, he didn't say the water. Amen? We
52:21
are coming there. He didn't say what? The water.
52:24
He said of water and of the spirit. So when he
52:31
will say that, he is now making an emphasis not
52:35
on water, but he is making an emphasis on where?
52:38
On the spirit. So the question will not be, why
52:41
is there water there? Why is there water? If
52:48
you have KJV, good. Give us that KJV. I don't
52:51
know whether this has it. So, if you check the
52:53
original rendition, if you have your Septuagint
52:57
Bible, check it. If you check the original rendition,
53:00
you realize that in the original rendition, the
53:03
word of is not there. Amen? This word of, where
53:09
is it? Except a man be born of water and of.
53:16
That word of, when you check the original context,
53:19
that word is not there. It says, except a man
53:24
be born of water and the Spirit. Hallelujah.
53:32
Check it. You can verify it is there with you.
53:35
That word of is not there in the original rendition.
53:40
Glory to Jesus. How did he come there? You have
53:44
learned a lot in this church. A lot. So when
53:48
we see such words added to scriptures, I will
53:50
not say the answer. What does it mean? It was
53:54
added by translators. God bless you. Ah, my pockets
53:58
are empty. You know? Yes, so it was added by
54:03
what? By translators. In the original context,
54:06
that word is not there. So now, that means that
54:11
Jesus was not talking about two different things
54:18
he wasn't talking about two different things
54:21
are we all here he wasn't talking about what
54:25
two different things please don't lose your mind
54:28
in this discussion and get your brain acts i
54:31
don't want you to to just take and get your brain
54:34
read into the lines and everything we are doing
54:37
the believer must be very intellectual when it
54:43
comes to the scriptures Pastor Emma said something.
54:46
He said, we must ask questions. Some other doctrines,
54:52
some other religion, they will say, don't ask
54:54
questions. But you see, when it comes to this,
54:56
our own faith, we must ask what? We must be very
55:00
intellectual. So I will not come and say, except
55:04
a man be born of water and of the spirit. You
55:08
see, that spirit there is talking about a dimension.
55:11
Can you see the dimension? Because, This water
55:14
talks about a portal. Because for you to enter
55:18
into the kingdom, there has to be a portal. And
55:21
that portal is through the water. And that is
55:23
why even satanic forces have used water to be
55:27
their portal. And you know, and somebody will
55:40
say, I've never had this. Ha, it's too deep.
55:49
Let me say like the way my pastor would say,
55:52
moo, moo. They've used your brain. Be very intellectual.
56:01
So when they are leading it, lead it. If he's
56:03
not there, just tap your nail, but that pastor,
56:05
that thing is not there. So, and of what? So
56:11
which means that Jesus is not talking about what?
56:14
Two different things. He's not talking about
56:15
water and also talking about what? Spirit. Mind
56:20
you, we came from John chapter 4. We said Jesus
56:23
is using earthly things to communicate what?
56:25
Heavenly things. So he can't be talking about
56:28
spirit and then at the same time he's talking
56:31
about what? Water. If he's talking about water,
56:34
something physical, and then he's talking about
56:36
spirit, something heavenly. The next question
56:40
that should come to your mind is that he cannot
56:42
be talking about two different things at the
56:44
same time. Are we all here? Are we all here?
56:47
Good. So now. That word and here. Except a man
56:54
be born of water and. Already we say of the spirit.
57:00
When you check the original of is not there.
57:02
Amen. So but when you check and. When you read.
57:09
We have learned it in this church. When you see
57:11
and with the Kairul, right? That word and, when
57:14
you check your Septuagint dictionary, you realize
57:18
that it can be used, right? As what and what?
57:21
I will not say it. As a conjunction and for explanation,
57:27
for emphasis. Amen? So, but we see, what Jesus
57:33
was now using here, he cannot be using water,
57:36
earthly, right? And then he will now say, conjunct
57:41
with spirit. It will not make sense. Because
57:47
Jesus will not be communicating that. So what
57:50
Jesus is communicating is a heavenly reality.
57:53
So what he will now do to give emphasis, he will
57:56
now say, except a man be born of water, which
58:01
is the spirit. So he's saying that Nicodemus,
58:08
I'm using water at least so that your mind can
58:12
understand. But what I am talking about is what?
58:16
The spirit. Are we all clear on this? Anybody
58:21
is confused? Can you explain it? If somebody
58:25
meets you on the road now, you can explain this
58:27
place. Okay, good. So now. So now, let's read
58:34
it now. He not say that now. He say, except a
58:38
man is born of water. Now, we'll read it after
58:40
saying this now. Except a man is born of water,
58:43
which is the what? The spirit. He cannot what?
58:48
Enter into what? The kingdom of God. Remember
58:52
in Ezekiel, we said that God will put his spirit
58:55
in them, right? And he said, they will be my
58:59
people and I will be their what? They are God.
59:03
So which means that the man that must enter into
59:06
the kingdom, the man that must experience the
59:09
kingdom must have what? Access to the kingdom.
59:12
How? Spirit. So what Jesus was communicating
59:18
about being born again there is talking about
59:21
an experience with the spirit. Glory to Jesus.
59:25
Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Are we all there?
59:31
Good. Somebody will now say, how, how, how? See
59:36
verse 12 now. John 3, 12. He has talked about
59:39
water. He has talked about, he tries, he says,
59:41
Nicodemus, okay, let me use water, something
59:44
you can relate with to talk about spirit. And
59:47
then the kingdom, right? See verse 12 now. Having
59:50
all the discussion, verse 12 now, he says something.
59:53
Let's read verse 11 so that we'll get the context.
59:56
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, we speak that
59:59
which we know, and testify that which we have
1:00:02
seen, and ye receive not our what? Our witness.
1:00:06
Twelve. If I have told you of what? Can you see?
1:00:11
What earthly things did Jesus use there? Water.
1:00:14
Thank you, ma 'am. If I have told you earthly
1:00:17
things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe
1:00:21
if I tell you of what? Heavenly things. So we
1:00:30
see Jesus will use earthly things to speak about
1:00:34
what? Heavenly things. So Jesus was not endorsing.
1:00:43
Let me say, let me ask us. Was Jesus talking
1:00:46
about baptism here of water? Is this scripture?
1:00:50
Please, you are intellectual Bible scholars.
1:00:54
Is this place, is this place from where we read
1:00:56
verse 1 when Nicodemus asked him a question?
1:00:58
Was it about water baptism? Did Nicodemus come
1:01:02
and say, Master, you are a good man. You do miracles.
1:01:05
Only you are from God. However, I have a question.
1:01:08
This idea on water baptism, can you give us your
1:01:11
own standpoint? Is that what happened in that
1:01:13
context? No. So Jesus was not, because lots of
1:01:19
people that also use water baptism use this scripture.
1:01:24
So they will immerse you to fulfill all righteousness
1:01:27
that connects your salvation. Then they will
1:01:33
now connect it to a heaven's revelation that
1:01:36
somebody saw. How they went, they had a divine
1:01:40
revelation to hell and they saw some people that
1:01:43
didn't make it to heaven because of water baptism.
1:01:48
What now happens? Everybody will be deep inside
1:01:51
water. They will dip them inside water and they
1:01:54
are not saved. I told man of God. They carried
1:01:59
us. We went and then dipped some people inside
1:02:01
ocean. We saw them online. They were just palasparizing.
1:02:07
You know? In Nassau, there's something called
1:02:09
palaspa. Palaspa is maximum enjoyment. Like maximum
1:02:13
flex. After baptism, we baptized them. They did
1:02:18
some prayer. We sang some hymn. I played guitar.
1:02:20
Man of God is there. They did everything. Weekdays
1:02:22
like this, they were online. May the Lord give
1:02:25
you understanding. You know? He'll give you understanding.
1:02:34
So now, big question is, what are the heavenly
1:02:36
things that Jesus was talking about? See verse
1:02:39
14, everybody. You see, we have now left John
1:02:41
chapter 3. So we've talked about born of the
1:02:45
Spirit, right? He was not talking about water.
1:02:47
He was talking about the what? The Spirit. Is
1:02:50
that clear? Good. Then now we now say, he said
1:02:53
that if I speak to you of earthly things and
1:02:55
you don't believe, how about if I speak to you
1:02:57
of heavenly things? Will you also what? Believe?
1:02:59
So question is, what are the heavenly things?
1:03:02
Verse 14, everybody. And as Moses, 13, let's
1:03:05
read 13. And no man had ascended up to heaven,
1:03:08
but he that came down from what? Heaven. He was
1:03:11
speaking about himself now. Even the son of man
1:03:13
who is in what? Heaven. 12. And as Moses lifted
1:03:16
up the serpent in the what? Wilderness. Even
1:03:20
so must the son of man be what? He is talking
1:03:23
about heavenly things now. At this point, Nicodemus
1:03:26
is out. 15. That whosoever believeth in him shall
1:03:32
not perish but have what? Does this look like
1:03:35
where we read in John chapter 4? What I will
1:03:39
give him will be an everlasting life. Does it
1:03:43
look like it? Does it look like it? Okay, good.
1:03:47
So now, 16 now. We'll just stop at 16. For God
1:03:52
so loved the world that he gave his only begotten
1:03:54
son that whosoever believed in him should not
1:03:58
perish but have what? Can you see? So he said,
1:04:02
if I speak to you about earthly things you don't
1:04:03
understand, you don't believe, how is it that
1:04:05
if I speak about heavenly things? He said, okay,
1:04:07
let me tell you a little about the heavenly things.
1:04:10
The same way that Moses would lift up serpents
1:04:13
in the wilderness and the children of Israelites
1:04:16
would look at it and be saved. right so also
1:04:20
the son of man must be what lifted up so jesus
1:04:25
is already communicating about a heavenly reality
1:04:27
glory to jesus glory to jesus and he said that
1:04:33
now upon the lifting up of the son of man whosoever
1:04:36
believed what in him will not perish but have
1:04:40
what everlasting life question now will be is
1:04:45
jesus talking about literally, the way they put
1:04:48
serpents, then they will just carry him up as
1:04:51
he's speaking now. They will just carry him up
1:04:53
and just lift him up and he will stand up on
1:04:56
the three. And then suddenly now when you look
1:04:59
at it, you say, oh Jesus! And then you have eternal
1:05:02
life. Is that what is happening? Mind you, Jesus
1:05:06
speaking earthly, right? They take it literal,
1:05:11
but he's speaking about heavenly what? Realities.
1:05:15
So when he's saying, If the son of man is lifted
1:05:18
up, do you think he's talking about the way Moses,
1:05:20
let me use the word, put the serpents there on
1:05:24
the tree and people just look and then they are
1:05:26
saved. Is that what is going to happen? Do you
1:05:28
know if we take literally for us to be saved,
1:05:31
do you know the body of Jesus needs to be mummified?
1:05:35
Do you know it needs to be mummified? So now
1:05:37
what will happen is every president in the world
1:05:40
will go and lobby with the president of Israel
1:05:43
now. He say, My country, we are 200 and something
1:05:47
million. Please, for the next 10 years, it's
1:05:50
our turn. Because all of us, we need to go and
1:05:53
look. When we now look, we are what? We are safe.
1:05:59
Do you think that is what is going to be happening
1:06:01
literally? No. So question will be, so what will
1:06:07
Jesus be communicating by saying such statements?
1:06:09
That's the question you should be asking. Amen?
1:06:12
Glory to Jesus. So now, what is the heavenly
1:06:17
things that jesus is referring to what is the
1:06:21
heavenly thing that jesus is referring to you
1:06:28
can write it somewhere let me just move ahead
1:06:31
so what jesus is referring to about the heavenly
1:06:33
things here is his dead burial and resurrection
1:06:35
his dead burial and resurrection he says how
1:06:43
he said He said, as Moses lifted up serpent in
1:06:47
the what? In the wilderness, so the son of man
1:06:50
be what? Lifted up. That word lifted up that
1:06:54
Jesus spoke about, he was talking about what?
1:06:57
His death, burial and what? And resurrection.
1:07:06
He said, so how do you know? Because when you
1:07:08
read that place now carefully, he said now, whosoever
1:07:12
believeth in what? In him. So you see, what will
1:07:16
bring eternal life? Let me just do something
1:07:20
logical for us so that we can get what I'm saying.
1:07:23
He said, if the son of man be what? Lifted up.
1:07:27
And then and yet, he now say, if you believe.
1:07:30
Question will be, will Jesus just be lifted up
1:07:33
and then I believe and I'm saved, I have eternal
1:07:35
life? Do you understand what I'm saying? No,
1:07:40
it cannot be that. So what Jesus is saying is
1:07:43
that I will die, I will be buried, I will be
1:07:46
raised from the dead. If you believe in that,
1:07:50
then you have what? Eternal life. We are coming
1:07:54
to that. Hold that because we are discussing
1:07:56
greater works. All that we are going to do from
1:07:57
tomorrow is precedent upon this reality. Glory
1:08:01
to Jesus. Hallelujah. So now, question now will
1:08:07
be, There's a place that says, for God so loved
1:08:11
the world that he gave. Big question will be,
1:08:13
when was Jesus giving for the world? When was
1:08:20
Jesus what? Giving for the world. Because Jesus
1:08:23
is speaking about heavenly things. And he said,
1:08:25
I'll be what? Lifted up. When I'm lifted up,
1:08:29
then you believe you have what? Eternal life.
1:08:32
16 now says, for God so loved what? The world.
1:08:36
He talks about Moses lifted up serpent. I will
1:08:39
be lifted up. Then next 16 just say, for God
1:08:41
what? Soul of the world. And he gave. So when
1:08:47
was Jesus giving for the world? Are we all there?
1:08:59
Jesus, you can write that. Jesus was giving for
1:09:02
the world. At his death, burial and resurrection.
1:09:14
He was given for the world at his death, burial
1:09:17
and resurrection. And I told us that that word
1:09:29
lifted up from the earth. Lifted up means his
1:09:31
what? His death, burial and resurrection. Let's
1:09:33
look at John chapter 12 verse 32. We see another.
1:09:36
mention of that word, fast. I just have some
1:09:40
seconds and then I would like us to just pray
1:09:42
for the five minutes left to prepare us much
1:09:46
more for tomorrow. John chapter 5, sorry, John
1:09:51
chapter 12, verse 32. 12, verse 32. Am I too
1:09:58
fast? Are we moving on the same pace? Is it clear?
1:10:03
If you meet somebody today, Outside this place.
1:10:06
Can you explain these things to him? Glory to
1:10:08
Jesus. Good. So John chapter 12 verse 32. See
1:10:14
what the scripture says. And if I be lifted up
1:10:17
from what? From the earth. I will do what? So
1:10:23
I will draw all men unto what? Unto me. So he
1:10:33
will not be speaking about him just being carried
1:10:35
into the air. He is talking about a heavenly
1:10:39
reality. His death burial and what? And his resurrection.
1:10:43
Glory to Jesus. John chapter 7 verse 37 to 39.
1:10:48
John chapter 7 verse 37 to 39. Let's read the
1:10:53
scripture and then we close for today here. John
1:10:58
chapter 7 verse 37. Are we all there? In the
1:11:01
last day. That great day of the feast, Jesus
1:11:04
stood and cried saying, If any man thirsts, let
1:11:08
him come unto me and what? Does this look like
1:11:11
John chapter 4? The water I will give you. When
1:11:14
you drink, you will not thirst again. See Jesus
1:11:17
making an invitation again. If any man thirsts,
1:11:20
let him come unto me and what? Drink. 38. He
1:11:24
that believeth on what? On me. As the scripture
1:11:28
has said, out of his belly shall flow what? Rivers
1:11:34
of what? Living water. But this speck here of
1:11:38
the spirit, can you see again? Can you see water
1:11:41
and spirit? Right? But this speck here of the
1:11:45
spirit, which they that believe on him shall
1:11:48
what? Receive. Who are the people that will receive
1:11:51
the spirit? Who are the people that will receive
1:11:54
the spirit? They that but? Believe on him for
1:11:58
the Holy Ghost was not yet what? Given because
1:12:00
that Jesus was not yet glorified. Hallelujah.
1:12:06
Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. So write this
1:12:12
word belly. Write this word belly. That's where
1:12:16
we are going to hold it from tomorrow morning.
1:12:19
You see, we are gradually coming to a place.
1:12:22
If you are paying attention, we are moving somewhere.
1:12:25
Right? So write the word what? Belly. That will
1:12:29
say, out of his what? Belly shall flow what?
1:12:34
Rivers of living water. You see, where we read
1:12:38
in John chapter 4, he said, I will give him living
1:12:40
water. Glory to Jesus. So we can see water, spirit.
1:12:50
Water, spirit. Water, which is the what? The
1:12:55
Spirit. Can we rise to our feet everybody? We
1:12:59
appreciate you being here today. We hope you
1:13:02
carry this word with you throughout your week.
