Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: So I sell man a man hallo loa yah. You
- 0:07Speaker 1: know I said this.
- 0:14Speaker 2: I said during preparation for these meetings that while I
- 0:19Speaker 2: was praying, God told me that. Well, but it's important
- 0:25Speaker 2: that I sent out my apostles in twos Paul, Paul.
- 0:37Speaker 2: I didn't just call Paul. I said Paul and Banabas.
- 0:41Speaker 2: He said, so what you should do is to pray
- 0:46Speaker 2: in the spirit and Pierre. They annoying things together per session.
- 0:52Speaker 2: So he asked me to Pierre, that's why you'll say
- 0:54Speaker 2: that every time a Grace to the beggar is speaking,
- 1:00Speaker 2: I put a postl Salman also, and.
- 1:03Speaker 1: You can see why.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Now, okay, all right, While I was praying, go miss
- 1:09Speaker 2: TONIGHTO got to me and I told I'd already told
- 1:14Speaker 2: Nathaniel Bassie he was closing tomorrow. While I was praying.
- 1:18Speaker 2: I called him and he said he actually told me.
- 1:20Speaker 2: He said he's on a retreat, but he will show
- 1:23Speaker 2: up for the eighth. So I when I was in prayer,
- 1:27Speaker 2: God said he should be in that meeting on the
- 1:30Speaker 2: seventh with a purscel Salman and pascel grace leveta. So
- 1:35Speaker 2: I told him, I said, I've never asked for favor
- 1:38Speaker 2: like this, and he said he'll be here tonight. So
- 1:45Speaker 2: we're going to have a very strong meeting, all right,
- 1:51Speaker 2: this evening.
- 1:53Speaker 1: All right. He doesn't need any introduction. But I.
- 2:02Speaker 2: Listened to him yesterday, and I don't know what happened yesterday,
- 2:08Speaker 2: but I something struck me, strangling the spirit realm about him.
- 2:15Speaker 2: Because there are things that may be meditating on the
- 2:19Speaker 2: world of God. You'll see, and you just say, look,
- 2:24Speaker 2: let's go.
- 2:24Speaker 1: On with our lives, all right.
- 2:27Speaker 2: But when he started speaking yesterday and he went into
- 2:31Speaker 2: some areas and the way he used, the words that
- 2:39Speaker 2: he used in describing even positioning in the spirit, and
- 2:45Speaker 2: the language that he used as a God's hands on
- 2:49Speaker 2: this man, all right, God's God's hand is on him,
- 2:55Speaker 2: not just to preach, but to help to navigate generation
- 3:00Speaker 2: into something, all right. I saw it very kind, and
- 3:04Speaker 2: I know what I'm talking about, all right. And because
- 3:10Speaker 2: he imagines in this country and imagines globally, has not
- 3:18Speaker 2: followed the predictable pattern of ministry in this country. I
- 3:23Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And so even some principles people
- 3:29Speaker 2: practice and think that this is the only way you
- 3:31Speaker 2: can succeed. His ministry has defied that. So you have
- 3:38Speaker 2: to read the Bible properly again to see what is
- 3:44Speaker 2: going on. Are you following I'm here and understand what
- 3:48Speaker 2: God is doing. That's right, starffit and welcome a post.
- 3:50Speaker 1: Josh for.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Hello Lujah, Amen, please be seated, God, bless you, Good
- 4:18Speaker 3: morning everybody past. Thank you again, Thank you sincerely, and
- 4:25Speaker 3: my love and blessings to Apostle Grace.
- 4:28Speaker 1: My first time seeing him.
- 4:29Speaker 4: I've heard about him once twice, but incredible, man. I
- 4:35Speaker 4: listened to him one time. I think it was on TVN.
- 4:38Speaker 4: Yes and phenomenal Man of God. God, bless you, bless you, yes, a.
- 5:05Speaker 1: Yes you ah. It's the part of the song I
- 5:21Speaker 1: love nine. He's the King dam Yorks. He's the power
- 5:31Speaker 1: New Yorks. He's the globe we forever Yorks. He's the
- 5:42Speaker 1: King dam Yorks. He's the paws ane Lujah. The prophets
- 5:58Speaker 1: that I will reveal.
- 6:01Speaker 4: Speaking by the spirit, he said, I will reveal my
- 6:04Speaker 4: dark sayings upon the heart. So when we sing like this,
- 6:09Speaker 4: it's not about music, it's a spiritual pattern.
- 6:13Speaker 1: Allelujah. Yes.
- 6:16Speaker 4: When it was time for the prophet to PROPHESI he said,
- 6:19Speaker 4: bring me a mistral because the prophetic is atmosphere dependent, allelujah.
- 6:27Speaker 4: And while they began to play the mistral, the hand
- 6:34Speaker 4: of the Lord came upon him, and they said, you
- 6:37Speaker 4: shall not see wind, you shall not see rain.
- 6:41Speaker 1: Yet Yet.
- 6:46Speaker 4: It is your responsibility to not only prepare teachings as
- 6:50Speaker 4: a man of God, but to study the atmosphere that
- 6:54Speaker 4: released the annointing upon those teachings. There are times you
- 6:58Speaker 4: can come and the spirit can move you to begin
- 7:00Speaker 4: a session of prayer, either because of your own personal
- 7:04Speaker 4: positioning or the alignment of the audience that will.
- 7:08Speaker 1: Be receiving from you.
- 7:09Speaker 4: You must be sensitive preparing as someone is only a
- 7:12Speaker 4: minute fraction as far as the ministry of the world
- 7:16Speaker 4: is concerned. Allelujah, Father, help us this morning, yet again
- 7:23Speaker 4: you have brought words with power through your servants even
- 7:26Speaker 4: this morning. Speak to us in Jesus' mighty name. I prayer, Allelujah.
- 7:36Speaker 4: I really want to charge particularly the membership of this church.
- 7:41Speaker 4: And I hope and pray that you would grow to
- 7:44Speaker 4: appreciate the kind and the level of spiritual investment that
- 7:48Speaker 4: is happening through these conferences year after year. I submit
- 7:54Speaker 4: to you that it takes a lot of discernment influence
- 7:59Speaker 4: resources and capacity to be able to pull together ministers
- 8:05Speaker 4: of the Gospel that have been marvelously helped of God
- 8:09Speaker 4: and by God, especially at.
- 8:10Speaker 1: The beginning of the year.
- 8:12Speaker 4: And I think it's worthy of commendation and salutation, especially
- 8:16Speaker 4: to your pastor.
- 8:17Speaker 1: Thank you, sir, and thank you hallelujah.
- 8:28Speaker 4: So for this session, I didn't know that Pastor was
- 8:31Speaker 4: going to speak about tonight. I sensed it my spirit
- 8:34Speaker 4: while I was praying this morning, that there will be
- 8:36Speaker 4: a mightier pouring this night the Mighty. There will be
- 8:42Speaker 4: activations of graces, and it's like positionings.
- 8:47Speaker 1: There are realms and dimensions.
- 8:50Speaker 4: People will be strategically positioned in the spirit.
- 8:55Speaker 1: Allelujah. And so don't be casual.
- 8:59Speaker 4: Coming early is wonderful what you're most come prepared, Allelujah.
- 9:07Speaker 1: Thank you Jesus.
- 9:09Speaker 4: I'm teaching very briefly this morning, and then will pray
- 9:12Speaker 4: in addition to that which you have received on the
- 9:16Speaker 4: pattern for growth and stature, the pattern for growth and stature. Again,
- 9:26Speaker 4: I pray that we pay attention and listen very carefully.
- 9:31Speaker 1: It takes attentiveness to the spirit.
- 9:34Speaker 4: The Bible says they told him look on us, and
- 9:37Speaker 4: he looked at them expecting to receive, expecting to receive.
- 9:44Speaker 4: God is a God of patterns.
- 9:46Speaker 1: Please look up.
- 9:48Speaker 4: God is a god of patterns, and usually continuity in
- 9:53Speaker 4: the spirit and in the kingdom is based on the
- 9:57Speaker 4: capture of the patterns that are responsible for certain occurrences.
- 10:02Speaker 4: You read from the Book of Genesis chapter one that
- 10:05Speaker 4: everything God created, he didn't have to create it the
- 10:08Speaker 4: second time.
- 10:09Speaker 1: Again, are we together now? That every time he.
- 10:13Speaker 4: Would create something, he would we within that creation a
- 10:17Speaker 4: pattern for the continuity of that process. So if you
- 10:21Speaker 4: wanted to see a reputation of certain things, all you
- 10:26Speaker 4: needed to do was to capture the pattern in architecture.
- 10:32Speaker 4: If I want to reproduce this structure right now, say
- 10:35Speaker 4: in London, or in in Abuja, or in in you know,
- 10:41Speaker 4: UK or anyway, I don't need to come and carry
- 10:43Speaker 4: the building.
- 10:44Speaker 1: In fact, I do not even need to be here physically.
- 10:47Speaker 1: Is that true? What I need is the pattern.
- 10:50Speaker 4: The pattern can, with exactitude and precision, grant me the understanding,
- 10:56Speaker 4: architecturally speaking, to reproduce this structure. To extend that if
- 11:01Speaker 4: you were blindfolded and carried away to the other structure
- 11:05Speaker 4: and they open you.
- 11:06Speaker 1: Up, you will not even know you are transated.
- 11:08Speaker 4: That is how powerful and predictable patterns are Leviticals.
- 11:13Speaker 1: Chapter nine and verse six.
- 11:16Speaker 4: The glory, the manifestation of the glory of God upon
- 11:19Speaker 4: the life of an individual, is dependent on our ability
- 11:24Speaker 4: to work in keeping with divine patterns. Here's what he
- 11:28Speaker 4: told Moses nine six Leviticals.
- 11:31Speaker 1: This is the thing it.
- 11:32Speaker 4: Says which the Lord commanded that ye should do, and
- 11:38Speaker 4: the glory of the Lord shall appear unto you. That
- 11:42Speaker 4: means the glory would not just come because you desire
- 11:45Speaker 4: to come.
- 11:46Speaker 1: It responds to certain things that you need to do. Allelujah.
- 11:53Speaker 4: So there are patterns that are allotted for certain spiritual occurrences.
- 11:59Speaker 4: For instance, you can verify if a believer has been
- 12:04Speaker 4: saved by asking him what pattern he followed?
- 12:09Speaker 1: Is that true?
- 12:10Speaker 4: Because according to Romance chapter ten, from verse eight down
- 12:13Speaker 4: to ten and then extends to fifteen, the Bible says,
- 12:16Speaker 4: the pattern for the administration of the life of God
- 12:20Speaker 4: into the spirit of a believer is that you must
- 12:23Speaker 4: believe with your heart the Lord Jesus am I right
- 12:26Speaker 4: on that, and then that with your mouth confession is
- 12:30Speaker 4: made even onto salvation. That is the pattern that with
- 12:34Speaker 4: the heart man believes onto righteousness, and with the mouth
- 12:40Speaker 4: confession is made onto salvation.
- 12:43Speaker 1: When it has to do.
- 12:44Speaker 4: With the healing of bodies and all of that, the
- 12:49Speaker 4: pattern is that number one, there has to be.
- 12:52Speaker 1: The hearing of faith. Is that true?
- 12:55Speaker 4: Yes, the hearing of faith in partnership with the anointing
- 13:01Speaker 4: is what would produce that outcome.
- 13:03Speaker 1: So all of the.
- 13:05Speaker 4: Outcomes that we desire in our lives, we are helped
- 13:10Speaker 4: by God to achieve those desires by the revelation of
- 13:15Speaker 4: the patterns that control those results.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Church growth has a pattern.
- 13:21Speaker 4: Financial prosperity has a spiritual pattern.
- 13:24Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 13:25Speaker 4: So your maturity the spirit is not just measured by
- 13:28Speaker 4: your longevity in church, but your ability to have, through
- 13:31Speaker 4: the ministry of the spirit and a teaching priest, access
- 13:35Speaker 4: the various patterns that control the outcomes of your life.
- 13:39Speaker 1: You gain mastery in spiritual things.
- 13:41Speaker 4: To the degree to which you have pieced together these patterns.
- 13:46Speaker 4: Now you can become a blessing because with a doctor's
- 13:50Speaker 4: level of precision, when you see someone, you know what
- 13:53Speaker 4: pattern they are missing immediately, without ambiguity, you can tell
- 13:57Speaker 4: them this is what you are missing. When Satan came
- 14:01Speaker 4: to attack Peter, Jesus knew what to do. He reputed
- 14:05Speaker 4: him and he said, Peter, Satan had desired to shift
- 14:07Speaker 4: you like wit. But the pattern for your deliverances.
- 14:11Speaker 1: I have prayed for you.
- 14:12Speaker 4: So every time believers are afflicted, the pattern that is
- 14:16Speaker 4: responsible connected to that deliverance is prayer.
- 14:20Speaker 1: James five point thirteen.
- 14:22Speaker 4: Is anyone afflicted, he says, let him pray. Are we
- 14:28Speaker 4: learning now, Yeah, So it's important for us to understand
- 14:32Speaker 4: spiritual patterns. And this morning, very briefly, we want to
- 14:38Speaker 4: consider the pattern.
- 14:40Speaker 1: What spiritual pattern is.
- 14:41Speaker 4: Responsible for growth and stature in the spirit?
- 14:46Speaker 1: What do I need to engage to evolve.
- 14:49Speaker 4: Into superior spiritual dimensions?
- 14:53Speaker 1: Because it looks.
- 14:55Speaker 4: Like many believers struggle with the subject of growth, maturity
- 15:00Speaker 4: and stature in the spirit. And sadly many have been around,
- 15:06Speaker 4: you know, the House of God for many years, but
- 15:08Speaker 4: you cannot, based on the biblical indices that measure maturity,
- 15:13Speaker 4: you cannot say they have attained onto maturity. And Galatians
- 15:18Speaker 4: forces an heir for as long as that air is
- 15:21Speaker 4: a child, he says, he differed not from a servant
- 15:25Speaker 4: or a slave.
- 15:27Speaker 1: Are we blessed?
- 15:31Speaker 4: There is a pathway that if and when you follow,
- 15:35Speaker 4: the result is that you must be matured.
- 15:40Speaker 1: You will be a person of stature in the spirit.
- 15:43Speaker 4: And like we always discourse, there are certain dimensions of
- 15:47Speaker 4: your spiritual inheritance. You cannot be given until your maturity
- 15:53Speaker 4: matches the level to which you are able to manage
- 15:56Speaker 4: that gift. The same way a responsible parent would not
- 15:59Speaker 4: give a child of ten years old or five years
- 16:02Speaker 4: old khakis not because you do not love the child.
- 16:05Speaker 4: His level of maturity cannot support that blessing. So we
- 16:12Speaker 4: are unable to work in certain levels of authority in
- 16:15Speaker 4: the spirit. Experientially we keep reading in the Bible that
- 16:20Speaker 4: we should work in those levels, but experientially speaking, we're
- 16:24Speaker 4: unable to because it takes tatcho to receive certain mantles.
- 16:29Speaker 4: It takes tatcho to work in certain levels of the annointing.
- 16:33Speaker 4: If you're with me, please say amen allelujah. Let's go
- 16:39Speaker 4: to Asks chapter six and from verse one to four.
- 16:44Speaker 4: The early Church is a template for us to be
- 16:46Speaker 4: able to follow the Bible says. And in those days
- 16:49Speaker 4: when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose
- 16:54Speaker 4: a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews why because
- 16:58Speaker 4: their widows were next lettered in the daily ministrations we're
- 17:02Speaker 4: reading to four.
- 17:03Speaker 1: Verse two.
- 17:04Speaker 4: Then the twelve call the multitudes of the disciples onto
- 17:07Speaker 4: them and said, it is not reason that we should
- 17:10Speaker 4: leave the world of God and self tables. What level
- 17:13Speaker 4: of focus and discipline and diligence this already I can
- 17:18Speaker 4: stop in verse two, And that can be a message
- 17:21Speaker 4: for men of God.
- 17:22Speaker 1: Be careful with growth.
- 17:25Speaker 4: Growth is able to distract you from what brought the
- 17:28Speaker 4: growth in the first place. Legitimately, so it is not
- 17:31Speaker 4: only seen that distracts men.
- 17:33Speaker 1: Results can distract.
- 17:36Speaker 4: Here is multiplication happening, and they are telling them, listen,
- 17:39Speaker 4: you need to pause what you are doing and manage
- 17:42Speaker 4: a situation here. But they said, listen, listen, listen, we
- 17:46Speaker 4: are not going to be distracted. Will set up a
- 17:48Speaker 4: system to protect our focus.
- 17:51Speaker 1: Verse three.
- 17:54Speaker 4: Give us verst three were still here, He says, where
- 17:56Speaker 4: for brethren, look ye among you, seven men of honor,
- 18:00Speaker 4: honest report, full of.
- 18:01Speaker 1: The Holy ghosts and wisdom.
- 18:03Speaker 4: Can you imagine the requirement in the Bible for being
- 18:06Speaker 4: in the welfare department?
- 18:09Speaker 1: How in the world do.
- 18:11Speaker 4: You make this kind of laborious requirement to serve tables.
- 18:15Speaker 4: You need a discernment, wisdom full of honest reports. Of course,
- 18:24Speaker 4: honest report you are serving people. I understand honest reports,
- 18:29Speaker 4: but full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom whom we
- 18:33Speaker 4: may appoint over this business.
- 18:37Speaker 1: But we this is the pattern.
- 18:41Speaker 4: It was given to us by Jesus himself. If we're
- 18:45Speaker 4: desirous of growth and continuity, it says, but we will
- 18:49Speaker 4: give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of
- 18:56Speaker 4: the world. Pay attention now here the apostles reveal a
- 19:00Speaker 4: very powerful secret that was behind their level of growth
- 19:04Speaker 4: and maturity.
- 19:06Speaker 1: Did you know that.
- 19:07Speaker 4: All through the time with Jesus, this was all that happened.
- 19:11Speaker 4: Prayer and the ministry of the word prayer and the
- 19:16Speaker 4: ministry of the word prayer and the ministry of the world.
- 19:20Speaker 4: It transated these gentlemen from timid confused some visionless men
- 19:27Speaker 4: into mighty apostles of the Lamb. He called them to
- 19:31Speaker 4: be with him, and while they were with him, he
- 19:34Speaker 4: introduced a spiritual pattern. Now the apostles had kept this pattern,
- 19:39Speaker 4: the ministry of the Word and prayer.
- 19:44Speaker 1: Are we learning already?
- 19:49Speaker 4: But then I hope that God will help me to
- 19:52Speaker 4: be able to bridge a very serious, God, Pastor, I
- 19:57Speaker 4: believe that it's widening in the Body of Christ and
- 20:02Speaker 4: creating lobsidedness and imbalance. Knowing then that the ministry of
- 20:09Speaker 4: the world and of prayer.
- 20:12Speaker 1: Are the principal patterns that have.
- 20:14Speaker 4: Been given to the believer for growth, it seems like
- 20:18Speaker 4: something happened through history that diverged people to now begin
- 20:24Speaker 4: to choose the ministry of the.
- 20:26Speaker 1: Word or prayer. Are we together now?
- 20:33Speaker 4: So the dichotomy has been created between the prayer ministry
- 20:37Speaker 4: and then the word ministry. So we have classically speaking
- 20:41Speaker 4: and I'm speaking from a standpoint of love and this
- 20:44Speaker 4: to the Body of Christ.
- 20:45Speaker 1: We have people who would want.
- 20:47Speaker 4: To brand themselves as prayer people, and that is wonderful
- 20:51Speaker 4: and profitable.
- 20:53Speaker 1: Then we have those who would want to brand themselves
- 20:55Speaker 1: as word people.
- 20:57Speaker 4: And this has created a lot of confusion because both
- 21:00Speaker 4: sides have results.
- 21:04Speaker 1: Now, if one.
- 21:04Speaker 4: Side is completely failing, it becomes obvious that you are
- 21:08Speaker 4: missing something. It is difficult to correct a person that
- 21:12Speaker 4: has results. You see failure provokes change, It breaks your pride.
- 21:22Speaker 1: And humbles you. You come to a point where.
- 21:24Speaker 4: You acknowledge that truly I need help, But how do
- 21:27Speaker 4: you help a.
- 21:28Speaker 1: Person who has results. You find that in.
- 21:34Speaker 4: At chapter eighteen, from verse twenty four, the Bible speaks
- 21:37Speaker 4: about a very intelligent man called Apollos of Alexandria.
- 21:41Speaker 1: Please give it to words.
- 21:42Speaker 4: The Bible says, this man was an eloquent man. Look
- 21:45Speaker 4: at the credentials of this man.
- 21:47Speaker 1: He was mighty.
- 21:48Speaker 4: In scripture, the Bible says he came to ephisos while
- 21:51Speaker 4: reading to twenty eight. The next verse, he was instructed
- 21:55Speaker 4: in the way of the Lord. So he submitted himself
- 21:58Speaker 4: to mentorship. The Bible says he was fervant in spirit,
- 22:02Speaker 4: and he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord.
- 22:05Speaker 4: What more would you require from a man?
- 22:08Speaker 1: But he knew only.
- 22:12Speaker 4: Knowing only you can have all of this, And yet
- 22:17Speaker 4: know only fervent in spirit, mentored build knowing only.
- 22:27Speaker 1: Twenty six.
- 22:29Speaker 4: The Bible says, he began to speak boldly in the synagogue.
- 22:33Speaker 4: One day, two strange people were in his conference. I'm
- 22:36Speaker 4: telling you I learned this early ministry. You must be
- 22:39Speaker 4: aware that you are not impressing everybody that are.
- 22:43Speaker 1: While you are ministering the world.
- 22:44Speaker 4: There are people standing from an elevated altitude in the
- 22:48Speaker 4: spirit Just because they are listening to you does not
- 22:50Speaker 4: mean they're helpless. There are people who This is what
- 22:53Speaker 4: happened in this case. Please give us that scripture. This
- 22:57Speaker 4: guy was ministering, shouting, preaching fire like I'm doing now,
- 23:01Speaker 4: and there were.
- 23:02Speaker 1: Two strange people in that conference.
- 23:04Speaker 4: They start quietly listening to the only that he knew,
- 23:08Speaker 4: a Queler and Priscilla. The Bible says when they heard him,
- 23:12Speaker 4: they commended him.
- 23:13Speaker 1: I like them. They didn't discourage him.
- 23:15Speaker 4: But then they took him onto them and read with
- 23:18Speaker 4: me expounded onto him the way of God.
- 23:22Speaker 1: More perfectly, more perfectly the danger of knowing only.
- 23:33Speaker 4: This is the reason why we must brace ourselves with
- 23:36Speaker 4: humility and have profound regard and respect, especially for great
- 23:41Speaker 4: people whose hearts are open to learn.
- 23:44Speaker 1: I am very vocal when I find things I do
- 23:46Speaker 1: not know.
- 23:47Speaker 4: I'm very I don't tolerate ignorance in my life.
- 23:51Speaker 1: My heart is ever open.
- 23:52Speaker 4: To learn, because God gave me this revelation and it
- 23:56Speaker 4: brought me deliverance. Sometimes you can be so vibrant, but
- 24:00Speaker 4: knowing only, could this have been a message for someone?
- 24:06Speaker 4: Thank God for what you have seen.
- 24:08Speaker 1: What could it be that you know only so let
- 24:12Speaker 1: this year be the year that God will bring prophetic midwives.
- 24:16Speaker 4: Listen to what I'm telling you, like a Quella and Priscilla,
- 24:20Speaker 4: who would help you and expound to you the way
- 24:24Speaker 4: of the Lord more perfectly. Let's go back to our discussion.
- 24:30Speaker 4: So I was talking about the dichotomy. There has been
- 24:35Speaker 4: supposedly one group that places an emphasis on prayer and.
- 24:41Speaker 1: All the supporting.
- 24:44Speaker 4: Spiritual exercises that come with prayer, like fasting and some
- 24:48Speaker 4: other things, but may seem to subliminally or even vocally downplay.
- 24:54Speaker 1: The ministry of the world.
- 24:56Speaker 4: Then, respectfully speaking, on the other hand, we have been
- 25:00Speaker 4: people who exalt the Word. They demonstrate clearly the supremacy
- 25:04Speaker 4: of the world, and may seem to not pay attention
- 25:08Speaker 4: to the ministry of prayer and all the supporting spiritual
- 25:12Speaker 4: exercises that accompany prayer.
- 25:16Speaker 1: Allelujah. And you see, all.
- 25:20Speaker 4: These sites have their consequences.
- 25:24Speaker 1: The key is to study Jesus.
- 25:27Speaker 4: I told us yesterday that there are four biblical channels
- 25:30Speaker 4: for knowing God.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Let me recap Number one. I said, scripture.
- 25:34Speaker 4: The Holy Scripture is one of the biblical pathways by
- 25:38Speaker 4: which we know God. Is that true. Number two is
- 25:43Speaker 4: the names of God. The names of God are a
- 25:47Speaker 4: capture of the various dimensions of Him that were revealed
- 25:50Speaker 4: to men. Every time God revealed new dimensions of himself,
- 25:55Speaker 4: he will be captured in a name, so that when
- 25:57Speaker 4: you want to see that dimension, you start the revelation
- 26:01Speaker 4: behind that name. The third way we know God is
- 26:04Speaker 4: through the revelation of Jesus. The Bible calls him the
- 26:08Speaker 4: express image.
- 26:09Speaker 1: Of the invisible God. And then number four. Like Job
- 26:13Speaker 1: told us his experience.
- 26:15Speaker 4: I have heard with the hearing of the ear, but
- 26:17Speaker 4: now my eye see at thee. So let's tardy Jesus
- 26:21Speaker 4: for a few minutes, and let's see how Jesus brings
- 26:24Speaker 4: with precision the balance between the ministry of prayer and
- 26:29Speaker 4: of the world.
- 26:29Speaker 1: Is someone learning.
- 26:32Speaker 4: In the Book of Luke, chapter two, I'll begin my
- 26:35Speaker 4: reading from forty one look to forty one, so long reading,
- 26:39Speaker 4: please be patient. This is teenager Jesus, now in the flesh.
- 26:43Speaker 4: The Bible says. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every
- 26:47Speaker 4: year at the fist of the Passover a huh. When
- 26:51Speaker 4: he was twelve years old, the Bible says they went
- 26:54Speaker 4: up to Jerusalem after the custom.
- 26:57Speaker 1: Of the feast. Next verse.
- 26:59Speaker 4: And when they had fulfilled the days, they returned. The
- 27:03Speaker 4: child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his
- 27:07Speaker 4: mother knew not of it, but they, supposing him to
- 27:12Speaker 4: have been in the company, they went Ady's journey, and
- 27:15Speaker 4: when they sought among him among the acquaintances, they did
- 27:19Speaker 4: not find him forty five, the Bible says. When they
- 27:23Speaker 4: found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem seeking him.
- 27:27Speaker 4: There's a reason why I started from there, the Bible says.
- 27:29Speaker 1: And it came to pass.
- 27:31Speaker 4: After three days they found him where in the temple
- 27:35Speaker 4: everybody said the word.
- 27:37Speaker 1: So we see from the life of Jesus his passion
- 27:40Speaker 1: to stay, to learn, to grow.
- 27:42Speaker 4: Did you know that many of the things he was learning,
- 27:44Speaker 4: His coming was even to abolish some of them. And
- 27:47Speaker 4: yet even as the word incarnate, he submitted himself to
- 27:50Speaker 4: that learning.
- 27:51Speaker 1: Please give us that scripture, let's finish up.
- 27:54Speaker 4: They found him sitting in the midst of the doctors,
- 27:57Speaker 4: both hearing them and asking them questions next verse, and
- 28:04Speaker 4: all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.
- 28:09Speaker 1: And when they saw him, they were amazed.
- 28:11Speaker 4: And his mother said, unto him, son, why hast thou
- 28:14Speaker 4: thus dwelt dealt with us. Behold, thy father has sought
- 28:18Speaker 4: the sorrowing right. And he said onto them, how is
- 28:23Speaker 4: it that he sought me? Wish ye not that I
- 28:25Speaker 4: must be about my father's business. Two more verses, and
- 28:30Speaker 4: they understood not the sayings, which is speak the Bible says.
- 28:35Speaker 4: And he went down to them with to Nazareth. And
- 28:38Speaker 4: now verse fifty two the verse that we know. And
- 28:41Speaker 4: Jesus increased usually this is where we read, but we
- 28:45Speaker 4: do not know how he increased. I took that, Johnny
- 28:48Speaker 4: to show you that he did not increase just because
- 28:50Speaker 4: he was the son of God.
- 28:51Speaker 1: He submitted himself to learning and to doctrine.
- 28:55Speaker 4: So we see his respectful prayer to the extent that
- 28:59Speaker 4: he he was even affecting his relationship with his parents
- 29:03Speaker 4: in the flesh. He was that determined, and he called
- 29:06Speaker 4: that his father's business.
- 29:15Speaker 1: Mark chapter one.
- 29:18Speaker 4: We read from verse twenty one to twenty eight Marc.
- 29:22Speaker 1: Chapter one. Watch this now, this is Jesus.
- 29:26Speaker 4: And they went to Capanum, and straightway on the Sabbath
- 29:29Speaker 4: day he entered into the synagogue verse.
- 29:34Speaker 1: Next verse. And they were astonished that his doctrine.
- 29:38Speaker 4: Everybody said doctrine one more time, please say doctrine. For
- 29:43Speaker 4: he taught them as one that had authority, and not
- 29:46Speaker 4: as the scribes. And there was in their synagogue a
- 29:50Speaker 4: man with an unclean spirit, and he cried out, saying,
- 29:54Speaker 4: let us alone, what have we to do with the Jesus.
- 29:57Speaker 4: So you see that Jesus grew in the word hard
- 30:01Speaker 4: doctrine with proof. Because exusia, the word that is translated authority,
- 30:07Speaker 4: is derived from the strength of your understanding of the word.
- 30:11Speaker 4: There are forwards that I used to express power and authority.
- 30:15Speaker 4: Two of them are largely known in the body of Christ,
- 30:18Speaker 4: dunamis and Exusia. Exusia is a product of your the
- 30:23Speaker 4: depth of your comprehending the ways and the principles of God.
- 30:28Speaker 1: It translates to authority.
- 30:30Speaker 4: It legitimizes your ability to now stand in the office
- 30:34Speaker 4: of the Christ and to administer authority.
- 30:37Speaker 1: Are we together? I hope you.
- 30:38Speaker 4: Know that authority is what gives legitimate ground for the
- 30:41Speaker 4: use of power.
- 30:43Speaker 1: You can have power, but authority.
- 30:45Speaker 4: Is what makes the administration of power legitimate.
- 30:50Speaker 1: Allelujah.
- 30:52Speaker 4: You can have a gone that is power, but one
- 30:55Speaker 4: person can shoot it and will clap for him that
- 30:57Speaker 4: is authority. Another person can shoot and end up in jail.
- 31:02Speaker 4: Are we together? Now, it's not enough to have power.
- 31:06Speaker 4: You must have authority, and that comes by growth. It
- 31:10Speaker 4: comes through your comprehending the word. Let's finish that scripture
- 31:14Speaker 4: please verse twenty five now very quickly, And Jesus rebuked him, saying,
- 31:21Speaker 4: hold your peace, come out of him. Next verse, and
- 31:24Speaker 4: when the on clean spirit had turned him and cried
- 31:27Speaker 4: with a loud voice, he came out of him. What
- 31:29Speaker 4: was the result, The Bible says, they were all amazed
- 31:32Speaker 4: in that the question among themselves, saying, what thing is this?
- 31:36Speaker 1: What new doctrine is this? For with authority?
- 31:40Speaker 4: They acknowledge your authority that came from the word commanded
- 31:43Speaker 4: He even they on clean spirit, and they do obey him.
- 31:48Speaker 4: And immediately, on account of the word, his fame spread
- 31:53Speaker 4: abroad to all the regions.
- 31:55Speaker 1: Please jump to verse.
- 31:56Speaker 4: Thirty two for sake of time, I want you to
- 31:59Speaker 4: follow pace. I'm trying to establish Jesus as the pattern
- 32:05Speaker 4: that brings the balance of prayer and the ministry of
- 32:08Speaker 4: the world. Now we have seen the ministry of the
- 32:11Speaker 4: world in his life and the corresponding results that followed.
- 32:14Speaker 4: The Bible says verse staty two. And at evening, when
- 32:18Speaker 4: the sun did set, they brought onto him all that
- 32:21Speaker 4: were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils.
- 32:24Speaker 1: Uh huh, And all.
- 32:25Speaker 4: The city was gathered together at the door.
- 32:30Speaker 1: He healed many who were sick.
- 32:32Speaker 4: Of divers diseases, casting out many devils, and he suffered
- 32:36Speaker 4: not them to speak.
- 32:37Speaker 1: Verse thirty five.
- 32:39Speaker 4: The Bible says, and in the morning, with such phenomenal results,
- 32:46Speaker 4: and in the morning, many of us would not go
- 32:49Speaker 4: back to the ministry of prayer again.
- 32:51Speaker 1: I took time to.
- 32:52Speaker 4: Detail these results, from the dexterity of his communication of
- 32:58Speaker 4: doctrine to the results racus manifestation of authority, healing, signs
- 33:03Speaker 4: and wonders. Now, the Bible says that while he was
- 33:07Speaker 4: early in the morning, rising up a great while before day,
- 33:11Speaker 4: please help me, he went out and departed into a
- 33:15Speaker 4: solitary place, and their prayed, and their prayed, and their prayed.
- 33:27Speaker 1: So he was not just sound in doctrine.
- 33:30Speaker 4: We see his commitment and his discipline to the ministry
- 33:35Speaker 4: of prayer. Is someone learning Matthew Chapter four probably gives
- 33:45Speaker 4: the most, in my opinion, the most intelligent theological defense
- 33:53Speaker 4: that attempts to bridge the gap between the dichotomy that
- 33:56Speaker 4: has been created between the ministry of prayer and the
- 34:00Speaker 4: ministry of the world. I repeat that for many people,
- 34:06Speaker 4: because of the results that come from the ministry of
- 34:09Speaker 4: the world, we may not seem to immediately see the
- 34:12Speaker 4: necessity for a rich and a robust prayer life, not
- 34:17Speaker 4: as a system of managing emergencies, but as a lifestyle.
- 34:22Speaker 4: And then for people who are inclined to prayer, because
- 34:26Speaker 4: of the spiritual blessings that come from the place of prayer,
- 34:29Speaker 4: they might not need to endure sound doctrine to now learn,
- 34:34Speaker 4: because you see, it takes time to be.
- 34:36Speaker 1: Matured by the word.
- 34:38Speaker 4: You can pray in one hour, you can't grow in
- 34:40Speaker 4: the world in one hour.
- 34:41Speaker 1: It will take time.
- 34:43Speaker 4: The Bible talks about men enduring sound doctrine. Are we together,
- 34:50Speaker 4: So let's look at Matthew chapter four. Please again, I
- 34:54Speaker 4: request that you pay attention, Just lend me your attention
- 34:58Speaker 4: and less patiently understand something as we pray Matthew four
- 35:01Speaker 4: verse one. This is what we call the temptation of Jesus.
- 35:05Speaker 4: Follow closely. Then Jesus was led up of the spirit
- 35:09Speaker 4: into the wilderness so we see the ministry of the Spirit.
- 35:13Speaker 1: At work in the life of these Jesus. We're not in.
- 35:18Speaker 4: Doubt as to his submission to the ministry of the spirit.
- 35:21Speaker 1: The next verse, please, verse.
- 35:24Speaker 4: Two, the Bible says, when he had fasted, of course,
- 35:27Speaker 4: that when we prayer forty days and forty nights afterwards.
- 35:31Speaker 1: He was hungry.
- 35:32Speaker 4: So we see that he went to the wilderness by
- 35:35Speaker 4: the leadership of the spirit. We see that he got
- 35:38Speaker 4: to the wilderness. He prayed and fasted forty days. You
- 35:42Speaker 4: know the level of spirit trust coming. I taket to
- 35:45Speaker 4: stretch like that. We're not talking of fasting and breaking
- 35:47Speaker 4: in the night forty days forty nights. As much as
- 35:51Speaker 4: we know, we did not see any food or anything.
- 35:55Speaker 1: They're given to him.
- 35:56Speaker 4: Now when that was done verse three, when the temptar came,
- 36:02Speaker 4: My God, may God open your eyes to say something
- 36:05Speaker 4: here now, when the tempter came, the tempt met the
- 36:09Speaker 4: man who had the word and prayer. The tempt met
- 36:14Speaker 4: the man who had the word and prayer. The tempt
- 36:18Speaker 4: met the man who had the word and prayer. Watch this,
- 36:22Speaker 4: and he said to him, if thou be the son
- 36:25Speaker 4: of God, command these tones that they be made prayed.
- 36:31Speaker 4: Look at the reply of Jesus. Everybody, please read with me.
- 36:36Speaker 4: But he answered and said it is stop. Did he
- 36:41Speaker 4: say I prayed? Did he say I fasted? What was
- 36:45Speaker 4: his answer? But what was he doing in the wilderness
- 36:48Speaker 4: prayer and fasting? You thought that when he met the devil,
- 36:53Speaker 4: he will say, are you in fact?
- 36:55Speaker 1: Shouldn't you be afraid that the prayer.
- 36:57Speaker 4: And fasting of Jesus brought set and close up to him?
- 37:05Speaker 4: You would think that after praying and fasting for forty
- 37:08Speaker 4: days led by the spirit, should Satan be able to
- 37:13Speaker 4: stand such a man.
- 37:20Speaker 1: I leave it to you to use your mind.
- 37:23Speaker 4: The make believe that just because you are praying and
- 37:26Speaker 4: fasting habitterarily, Satan will run away. It's just a consolation.
- 37:31Speaker 4: Believe me, and I know what I'm saying. This is Jesus,
- 37:37Speaker 4: except you don't believe the Bible. Jesus, the word incarnate,
- 37:43Speaker 4: immersed himself in the world now praying, not before the prayer,
- 37:48Speaker 4: not during he was. Don't praying forty days with fasting
- 37:53Speaker 4: and Satan shows up, not shaking nor falling, no year.
- 37:59Speaker 1: And it says you hungry, don't deny it.
- 38:02Speaker 4: You are hungry he's talking to Jesus, and he saying,
- 38:06Speaker 4: use the power you have gotten from your prayer and fasting.
- 38:09Speaker 4: Turnstone to prayer. And Jesus looked at him and said,
- 38:13Speaker 4: it is written, please look up. If Jesus had prayer
- 38:17Speaker 4: and did not have the world, he will fall over
- 38:20Speaker 4: that temptation. The same way someone who did not pray
- 38:23Speaker 4: and fast for forty days he is not knowing scripture,
- 38:26Speaker 4: would have aborted the.
- 38:28Speaker 1: Potency of his fasting and prayer.
- 38:32Speaker 4: If you were to raise Jesus would spend time praying
- 38:35Speaker 4: and fasting, and someone who did not even pray. Both
- 38:38Speaker 4: of them would have fallen over the same temptation. His
- 38:42Speaker 4: basis for security was, it is written, Please give us
- 38:45Speaker 4: that scripture first temptation. It is written, man shall not
- 38:50Speaker 4: leave by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded
- 38:54Speaker 4: from the mouth of God.
- 38:55Speaker 1: Now look at Satan.
- 38:56Speaker 4: It is Satan is every other thing but foolish. Don't
- 39:00Speaker 4: add foolishness to your description of Satan.
- 39:02Speaker 1: You'll be wrong. Allelujah.
- 39:05Speaker 4: The devil took him to a holy city and set
- 39:08Speaker 4: at him on a pinnacle of the temple and said
- 39:12Speaker 4: to him, if thou be the son of God.
- 39:15Speaker 1: Now watch this.
- 39:16Speaker 4: The ministry of prayer is about to come in now,
- 39:20Speaker 4: Satan said, Oh, I see that you are grounded in
- 39:22Speaker 4: the world, so let's go to it is written now?
- 39:25Speaker 4: So it is did Satan also say it is written?
- 39:30Speaker 4: So if all that Jesus had was it is written
- 39:33Speaker 4: without discernment, he would fall like a pack of card
- 39:37Speaker 4: the moment he demonstrated supremacy to the word, Satan also
- 39:40Speaker 4: switched that means I will not make my temptation so obvious.
- 39:45Speaker 4: I will use things that are scriptural. So I took
- 39:48Speaker 4: you to a holy temple since I spoke about canal
- 39:52Speaker 4: things your belly. Now I see you are spiritual. Let's
- 39:55Speaker 4: talk about spiritual things. I also know it is written.
- 39:58Speaker 4: This is where the this salment and the stamina that
- 40:02Speaker 4: comes from prayer now helps you to survive. Is someone learning? Now,
- 40:08Speaker 4: please give it to us. It is written. He shall
- 40:12Speaker 4: keep his angels. Look at the accuracy of quoting this scription.
- 40:16Speaker 4: He shall keep his angels charge over you.
- 40:19Speaker 1: You see, let me tell you.
- 40:23Speaker 4: The truth can also destroy. Just because it is the
- 40:29Speaker 4: truth does not mean it to bless you. The truth
- 40:32Speaker 4: must be rightly divided and accurately communicated. This statement you
- 40:38Speaker 4: see watch this now was not a lie. Satan was
- 40:43Speaker 4: quoting verbatim, but the basis of that quotation was the
- 40:47Speaker 4: Bible called the entire process temptation, and yet scripture was
- 40:51Speaker 4: part of the tools that were used for that temptation.
- 40:55Speaker 4: So when Satan tries lost, or he tries stealing, and
- 40:59Speaker 4: he said, no, I am a child of God. He
- 41:01Speaker 4: tries church, he tries a lot of other things to
- 41:05Speaker 4: this is where.
- 41:05Speaker 1: The stamina that comes from the place of prayer.
- 41:08Speaker 4: And the ability to discern and perceive. If you are
- 41:12Speaker 4: using physical results to gauge whether a thing is of
- 41:15Speaker 4: God or the devil, you will fall like a pack
- 41:17Speaker 4: of God. There are many good things that were designed
- 41:21Speaker 4: to kill you. Sometimes Satan can use even compassion to
- 41:24Speaker 4: destroy you.
- 41:30Speaker 1: Someone learning.
- 41:33Speaker 4: He used Peter's compassion. Did what was Peter's offense that
- 41:38Speaker 4: Jesus rebukes Satan from him trying to refute him from
- 41:41Speaker 4: going to the cross. That was compassion. And he said,
- 41:44Speaker 4: get behind me, Satan, And Peter said, what did I do?
- 41:48Speaker 4: He said, Peter, Satan has desired.
- 41:51Speaker 1: It's not only evil.
- 41:53Speaker 4: Remember it was the tree of the knowledge of good
- 41:56Speaker 4: and evil. They were all part of one tree. Good
- 42:01Speaker 4: and evil come from one tree. The other three is life,
- 42:04Speaker 4: not good, not evil, So be careful with good things.
- 42:09Speaker 4: They are connected to the same tree. What Jesus came
- 42:13Speaker 4: to give us is not good. He came to give
- 42:15Speaker 4: us life. We look to the our way.
- 42:26Speaker 1: Yeah, where our whole piece? Yeah way, yeah way. We
- 42:37Speaker 1: look to be away Yeah where fever Yeah away someone
- 42:55Speaker 1: learning in this service.
- 42:59Speaker 4: So here we Jesus teaching us the various rules that
- 43:03Speaker 4: the ministry of prayer and the ministry of the world
- 43:07Speaker 4: play as far as defending you and securing the manifestation
- 43:14Speaker 4: of the life of God that is in you. To
- 43:16Speaker 4: the one who has downplayed the relevance of the ministry
- 43:20Speaker 4: of prayer, you are making a wrong step, and eventually
- 43:25Speaker 4: the tempter has a way of navigating through your weakness
- 43:28Speaker 4: until he brings you down to one who has the
- 43:32Speaker 4: emphasized the supremacy of the world of God. I will
- 43:35Speaker 4: be wrapping up by showing you the assignment of prayer
- 43:42Speaker 4: and the assignment of the World of God in the
- 43:44Speaker 4: life of a believer. Most people do not know what
- 43:47Speaker 4: prayer was meant for and what the ministry of the
- 43:50Speaker 4: World of God, what does it achieve? Seeing that it
- 43:54Speaker 4: is a pattern for growth and stature. When I submit
- 43:58Speaker 4: myself to the ministry of prayer, what happens to me?
- 44:01Speaker 4: What are the dimensions of the relevance of prayer in
- 44:04Speaker 4: my life? Why should I submit to prayer and then
- 44:08Speaker 4: sub me to the world. I'm hoping that by this
- 44:11Speaker 4: teaching God will bring it a serious deliverance for a
- 44:15Speaker 4: person a ministry to say, listen, we need to be
- 44:18Speaker 4: able to capture the whole counsel of God, not to
- 44:23Speaker 4: ignore the ministry of prayer, not to ignore the ministry
- 44:26Speaker 4: of the world.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Allelujah, this is very powerful. Shallasso Brandy Gabelliacatos.
- 44:38Speaker 4: So the second temptation he took him, and Jesus said,
- 44:41Speaker 4: it is written again the third temptation.
- 44:44Speaker 1: The Bible says he.
- 44:45Speaker 4: Took him into an exceeding high mountain, and that he
- 44:48Speaker 4: showed him the glories the kingdoms of the world. This
- 44:52Speaker 4: is another discussion for another day. Ladies and gentlemen, I
- 44:55Speaker 4: hope you know by now you are an intelligent church
- 44:58Speaker 4: that is full of the world. You know that it's
- 45:00Speaker 4: not just an elevated altitude. There no where he took
- 45:04Speaker 4: him to. This location is a spiritual location. Where do
- 45:08Speaker 4: you stand upon that, you see the glories of the world.
- 45:12Speaker 4: It's not a mountain. He took him into and showed him.
- 45:17Speaker 4: He says, all have been given to me. Jesus did
- 45:19Speaker 4: not say it's a lie because Adam gave him.
- 45:23Speaker 1: He said, bow down to me.
- 45:26Speaker 4: When the Bible tells you, watch Arlie profit a man
- 45:28Speaker 4: when he gains the whole world. That mountain is the
- 45:31Speaker 4: place of that business. You don't sell products there. It's
- 45:34Speaker 4: a transaction between your soul and the world. And many
- 45:38Speaker 4: people have been taken to that mountain till today.
- 45:43Speaker 1: There is a threshold level of success.
- 45:45Speaker 4: You cannot attain until you pledge your allegiance clearly to
- 45:50Speaker 4: one of these governments.
- 45:52Speaker 1: It's like a spiritual meter. The devil is watching you
- 45:55Speaker 1: when you strike that cord. Here they come.
- 45:59Speaker 4: There has to be a system of negotiating your soul. Yes, sir,
- 46:04Speaker 4: when you read Revelations nineteen, I wish we had time
- 46:07Speaker 4: that Harlot that rides upon the horse having the blood
- 46:10Speaker 4: of the Matthias.
- 46:11Speaker 1: Are we together now? When you read the many things
- 46:14Speaker 1: that she sells, you will see there that she sells
- 46:16Speaker 1: the souls of men. That's where she got the souls
- 46:19Speaker 1: of men, those who came to exchange your souls.
- 46:22Speaker 4: That's why the apostle said, I desire. I wish above
- 46:27Speaker 4: all things that you prosper, but that while you prosper
- 46:30Speaker 4: and ensure that your soul also prospers. So I can
- 46:34Speaker 4: vex the basis of your prosperity by checking the condition
- 46:37Speaker 4: of your soul while you rise. If you are losing
- 46:40Speaker 4: your touch with God as your wealth is increasing, your
- 46:42Speaker 4: fraternity is with Babylon.
- 46:53Speaker 1: We don't clap for people for being prosperous in the
- 46:55Speaker 1: kingdom until we ascertain the state of your soul.
- 47:00Speaker 4: If we find out that the higher your glory increases,
- 47:02Speaker 4: whether financially speaking, your life is going down, you need
- 47:05Speaker 4: to go for a retreat and that who is sponsoring
- 47:08Speaker 4: those possibilities because Satan will never allow you to rise
- 47:13Speaker 4: as your soul prospers.
- 47:16Speaker 1: It is the reason why the principles of prosperity for.
- 47:19Speaker 4: A believer is very different from a nonbeliever and does
- 47:23Speaker 4: not make sense because until we explain the side.
- 47:26Speaker 1: Effect of prospering the world's way, there.
- 47:29Speaker 4: Is no of your side effect except we checked from
- 47:32Speaker 4: the realm of the spirit.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Are we together?
- 47:40Speaker 4: So what is the assignment of prayer. Let me wrap
- 47:44Speaker 4: up what is the assignment of prayer. I want to
- 47:47Speaker 4: make a statement that I hope will not be misunderstood.
- 47:51Speaker 4: Prayer is not the only key in the kingdom. There
- 47:57Speaker 4: are keys of the kingdom. There is one key to
- 48:00Speaker 4: the kingdom, Jesus, and then when you come into the kingdom,
- 48:05Speaker 4: there are many keys off the kingdom. Prayer is a
- 48:09Speaker 4: foundational funda mental key. But it is an error to
- 48:14Speaker 4: believe that prayer is the only key in the kingdom.
- 48:17Speaker 4: Prayer must be involved in every process.
- 48:20Speaker 1: Of the kingdom, but it is not the only key.
- 48:24Speaker 1: I will clear on that. It is true.
- 48:28Speaker 4: If you come into a house, you come through the
- 48:30Speaker 4: main door, which is Jesus. There are rooms in that house.
- 48:33Speaker 1: Is that true?
- 48:34Speaker 4: If you have the key to the restroom alone, you'll
- 48:36Speaker 4: be in trouble when you are hungry because you have
- 48:39Speaker 4: the key to you are in the house. We are
- 48:41Speaker 4: not doubting it. But now you are hungry and the
- 48:44Speaker 4: only key you have is to the restroom. Or if
- 48:47Speaker 4: you have the key to the kitchen alone, if you
- 48:50Speaker 4: need to use the restroom, the key to the kitchen.
- 48:54Speaker 1: As portent as it is, may not help you. So
- 48:57Speaker 1: he gave us the keys. The keys are we learning now?
- 49:04Speaker 4: One of the fundamental major keys of the kingdom is
- 49:09Speaker 4: the ministry of prayer. I needed to say that I'm
- 49:12Speaker 4: a man of prayer, so you know that I'm not
- 49:15Speaker 4: down playing it at all, but it is important to
- 49:18Speaker 4: bring us. It is such revelations that have made us
- 49:21Speaker 4: downplay offen.
- 49:23Speaker 1: I wonder what.
- 49:24Speaker 4: Jesus was teaching them that, even after he resurrected, he said,
- 49:28Speaker 4: get back, let's continue the lecture for forty days. What
- 49:31Speaker 4: else was he teaching them? If he was the ministry
- 49:34Speaker 4: of the world, he had taught them. If he was prayer,
- 49:36Speaker 4: you are taught them. So what else was he teaching them?
- 49:42Speaker 4: Until the Church embraces the entire counsel of God, we
- 49:46Speaker 4: will not attain onto a state of maturity. So you
- 49:50Speaker 4: see various versions of lopsidedness in the body of Christ,
- 49:54Speaker 4: which are a testament to the fact that we have ignored,
- 49:57Speaker 4: ignor certain dimensions. Maybe, since this is why God put
- 50:01Speaker 4: conferences like this to be able to bring to speed
- 50:04Speaker 4: and bring us to a point of balance, so that
- 50:07Speaker 4: you see when you read revelations, he said, come and
- 50:09Speaker 4: I will show you the Lamb's.
- 50:10Speaker 1: Wife, He said, he showed me a city that was.
- 50:14Speaker 4: Equally length, equal in depth, equal in.
- 50:17Speaker 1: Height, no imbalance. That is the Lamb's wife. Are we together?
- 50:23Speaker 4: So when it comes to the ministry of prayer, you
- 50:25Speaker 4: are robos on fire when it comes to the ministry
- 50:28Speaker 4: of the world and all the other dimensions of the kingdom.
- 50:32Speaker 1: This is why he gave on to some apostles and prophets.
- 50:35Speaker 1: Is that true.
- 50:36Speaker 4: Evangelist teach us and all of that for the maturing
- 50:40Speaker 4: of the saints, that the saints, now being matured, will
- 50:44Speaker 4: do the work of the ministry.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Let's finish up. What is the assignment of prayer?
- 50:52Speaker 4: I will not be teaching, but I'll just list it
- 50:54Speaker 4: just for us to know. In addition to all we
- 50:57Speaker 4: have heard from the great and amazing men and the
- 51:00Speaker 4: women of God that God has brought, including that which
- 51:02Speaker 4: we heard from God's servant this morning, what is.
- 51:06Speaker 1: The assignment of prayer and the life of the believer.
- 51:09Speaker 4: I have studied my Bible, and I'm still a student learning,
- 51:12Speaker 4: but I have found four principal assignments that the ministry of.
- 51:17Speaker 1: Prayer accomplishes in the life of the believer.
- 51:20Speaker 4: Number one, the first assignment of prayer that the Bible
- 51:24Speaker 4: reveals is for transformation. Look chapter nine and verse twenty nine.
- 51:29Speaker 4: The Bible speaking about Jesus again, our pattern man is said,
- 51:33Speaker 4: and as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered,
- 51:37Speaker 4: and his raiment was white and glistering. The principal assignment
- 51:43Speaker 4: of prayer is not even for petitions. It is a
- 51:46Speaker 4: tool that was given to help you evolve to superior
- 51:49Speaker 4: spiritual dimensions. Show me a believer that just came into Christ,
- 51:53Speaker 4: and let that person submit himself through methodical mentorship to.
- 51:58Speaker 1: The ministry of prayer. I show you a fading.
- 52:01Speaker 4: Version of that man, and like the eagle, a new
- 52:04Speaker 4: version a week. You can become a strong you when
- 52:07Speaker 4: you pray. A timid you can become a powerful you
- 52:11Speaker 4: when you pray. Are we together now and undiscerning canal?
- 52:17Speaker 4: You can become such an individual with high level spirituality
- 52:23Speaker 4: when you pray. In look chapter eighteen and verse one.
- 52:26Speaker 4: Jesus spake a parable. The Bible says to the end
- 52:29Speaker 4: that men, not some men, men, provide that you are
- 52:33Speaker 4: a man.
- 52:34Speaker 1: He says that you ought to pray and not to faint.
- 52:37Speaker 4: First the Salonians five seventeen, he says to pray without ceasing.
- 52:42Speaker 1: It means to be consistent in your prayer life. Are
- 52:46Speaker 1: we together?
- 52:46Speaker 4: So the first assignment of prayer is for growth and
- 52:50Speaker 4: transformation Number two. The second assignment of prayer, as revealed
- 52:56Speaker 4: from scripture, is for obtaining requests and for making petitions.
- 53:02Speaker 4: The second assignment of prayer to the believer in Christ,
- 53:06Speaker 4: as revealed from scripture, is for obtaining requests and making petitions.
- 53:11Speaker 4: Mark eleven twenty four. It says, and what thingsoever ye desire?
- 53:17Speaker 4: Mark did I get that right? Yes, when ye pray,
- 53:20Speaker 4: not if ye pray, It says, believe that ye receive them,
- 53:25Speaker 4: and thou and.
- 53:26Speaker 1: Ye shall have them.
- 53:28Speaker 4: Jesus was speaking and said, he that told you have
- 53:30Speaker 4: not asked me anything. It says, ask that you may receive,
- 53:35Speaker 4: because the lawyer is said Matthew. Chapter seven, from verse seven,
- 53:39Speaker 4: it says, as can you shall receive? Say can you
- 53:42Speaker 4: shall find knock? It says, and the doors shall be
- 53:44Speaker 4: open onto you. I like verse eight. It says for everyone.
- 53:48Speaker 4: There are some things that are for some in the Bible.
- 53:50Speaker 4: But when it has to do with the ability to
- 53:54Speaker 4: receive through prayer, everyone that has kept receive it.
- 53:58Speaker 1: He says, ye have no, because he asked not someone
- 54:03Speaker 1: say prayer? Are we learning.
- 54:07Speaker 4: So? Number one for your transformation? Number two for obtaining requests?
- 54:12Speaker 4: Number three the third assignment of prayer, as revealed from scripture,
- 54:17Speaker 4: is for warfare and intercession. Warfare and intercession, there is
- 54:23Speaker 4: a warfare dimension to.
- 54:25Speaker 1: The believer's life.
- 54:26Speaker 4: Pauline giving us his exegesis in the Book of Efficients.
- 54:30Speaker 4: The entire six chapters are broken into three theologically speaking,
- 54:35Speaker 4: that teaches the believer to understand number one his positional
- 54:39Speaker 4: advantage in Christ. Number two the work of the believer
- 54:43Speaker 4: in terms of character. But number three the ability to
- 54:46Speaker 4: stand against the wilds of the enemy.
- 54:52Speaker 1: Are we learning now? This is very very important warfare.
- 54:59Speaker 4: Jesus did not in the dark as to the fact
- 55:01Speaker 4: that the whole world lies in wickedness. Paul was teaching us,
- 55:05Speaker 4: and he said, we wrestle not against flesh and bloody says,
- 55:08Speaker 4: but against principalities powers. Is that true rulers of darkness
- 55:13Speaker 4: and spiritual wickedness that reside in the heavenly Jesus himself
- 55:18Speaker 4: is called the head of all principalities and powers. He
- 55:21Speaker 4: didn't deny their existence in teaching his parable, he said,
- 55:26Speaker 4: while men slept, the enemy came. So you are not
- 55:29Speaker 4: the only farmer you saw. And another farmer can come
- 55:32Speaker 4: and saw something you did not sow. It's Hekel chapter
- 55:36Speaker 4: twenty two. When you read, I think verse thirty. Now
- 55:39Speaker 4: he said, and I sought for a man. I hope
- 55:41Speaker 4: I got that scripture right. I sought for a man
- 55:44Speaker 4: among them that should make up the hedge and stand
- 55:48Speaker 4: in the gap before me, for the land, that I
- 55:50Speaker 4: should not destroy it. But I found non prayer becomes
- 55:54Speaker 4: an instrument, a potent instrument for intercession.
- 55:59Speaker 1: You see, the a.
- 56:00Speaker 4: Genuine apostolic and prophetic intercessory ministry is founded.
- 56:05Speaker 1: Upon two things. Number one, your love for God and people.
- 56:10Speaker 1: Number two, the principle of shared dominion.
- 56:13Speaker 4: If you do not love God and people, you cannot
- 56:16Speaker 4: truly engage the dimension of warfare and intercession.
- 56:20Speaker 1: And then the principle of shared dominion.
- 56:22Speaker 4: The Bible says, the heaven of heavens is the Lord's,
- 56:25Speaker 4: but the heath has he given on to the sons
- 56:27Speaker 4: of men. That means nothing happens on earth without the
- 56:30Speaker 4: participation of a man.
- 56:33Speaker 1: Let them have dominion.
- 56:35Speaker 4: He said, Allelujah, I hope that I will still out
- 56:42Speaker 4: five minutes from my time this night, and would trust
- 56:48Speaker 4: God to pray and speak over Nigeria in the mighty
- 56:52Speaker 4: name of Jesus Christ. Hoping and wishing and praying and
- 56:57Speaker 4: saying things would changes a joke. And don't let any
- 57:00Speaker 4: body laugh at prayer going on, because it matters. Like
- 57:03Speaker 4: I said, it is not the only keyboard. It is
- 57:05Speaker 4: a potent key. If we don't pray, we're going to
- 57:07Speaker 4: be in trouble.
- 57:08Speaker 1: In fact, the cure for temptation, the Bible says, watch
- 57:11Speaker 1: and pray.
- 57:12Speaker 4: That means your mind and your spirit. Watch dear, means
- 57:16Speaker 4: don't throw your mind away. You will need discernment. There
- 57:19Speaker 4: is an intellectual component to your safety. But in addition
- 57:23Speaker 4: it said pray. So that's number three. Have we been
- 57:29Speaker 4: blessed today? The fourth assignment of prayer, as revealed from scripture,
- 57:38Speaker 4: is for spiritual legislation, the ability to create possibilities in
- 57:42Speaker 4: your life. I like you to please pay attention if
- 57:45Speaker 4: it is true that God is creator. The first revelation
- 57:48Speaker 4: of God from scripture was not a healer, was as
- 57:52Speaker 4: creator Genesis one versus one. The Bible says, now the
- 57:55Speaker 4: earth was dark and void. Is the Hebrew word to
- 57:58Speaker 4: who are who? Confusion and chaos.
- 58:01Speaker 1: And then verse three he says, and yelo him, the
- 58:04Speaker 1: talking spirit said, light be are we together now? And
- 58:09Speaker 1: there was and what he saw was good. So we
- 58:16Speaker 1: were created in the image and the likeness of God.
- 58:19Speaker 4: And we must also function as talking spirits, the ability
- 58:23Speaker 4: to legislate to create our possibilities. The Bible says in Proverbs,
- 58:27Speaker 4: I believe is a job twenty two twenty eight said
- 58:30Speaker 4: declared that thou might test be justified.
- 58:34Speaker 1: Where the word of a king is, thou shall also
- 58:36Speaker 1: decreate thing, Yes, and it.
- 58:37Speaker 4: Shall be established unto you can I tell you never
- 58:41Speaker 4: downplay the place of confession. But the challenge, and I
- 58:45Speaker 4: said this respectfully to the body of Christ, is that
- 58:49Speaker 4: confession without the whovering.
- 58:51Speaker 1: Of the spirit is empty words. This is the technology.
- 58:55Speaker 4: The Bible reveals God never spoke until he ascertained that
- 59:00Speaker 4: the movement of the spirit had set the atmosphere. It
- 59:04Speaker 4: was the spirit that took Ezekiel. When you read Ezekiel
- 59:07Speaker 4: thirty seven in the Value of the Dry Bones, please
- 59:10Speaker 4: pay attention. The spirit of God took him there. I
- 59:14Speaker 4: professed sid as I was commanded the atmosphere had been created,
- 59:18Speaker 4: and there was a sound. Most times we just make
- 59:21Speaker 4: empty confessions. That's why it does not work. You must
- 59:24Speaker 4: ascertain the hovering of the spirit is the union of
- 59:27Speaker 4: the hovering of the spirit and the spoken word.
- 59:30Speaker 1: That commands creation.
- 59:33Speaker 4: I would learn that practically in a rein hard bunker
- 59:35Speaker 4: crusade many years ago.
- 59:37Speaker 1: I was in that crusade, you may have heard my story.
- 59:40Speaker 4: Thousands of people and I was standing watching that great
- 59:43Speaker 4: man of God. I was also a man of God.
- 59:46Speaker 4: But I had to throw all of that because you
- 59:48Speaker 4: don't receive from colleagues. You must submit yourself. That spiritual
- 59:53Speaker 4: potential difference must be there. And I preached the very
- 59:59Speaker 4: sample message, almost annoyingly simple. And while he was done,
- 1:00:06Speaker 4: he was taking a glass of water so that he
- 1:00:08Speaker 4: would now minister the baptism and healing.
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: And the Lord opened my eyes. That was my first
- 1:00:13Speaker 1: visionary encounter of the person of the Holy Spirit.
- 1:00:16Speaker 4: I saw a gigantic bird, without exaggeration, it would be
- 1:00:20Speaker 4: as big, probably as this auditorium, just hovering round with
- 1:00:24Speaker 4: some silvery things tied with the wings.
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: It was just soaring. I thought, everyone was what is this.
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: By the time I returned from that vision I had
- 1:00:37Speaker 4: backed the stage I was. I was already facing, you know,
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: facing the people while.
- 1:00:43Speaker 1: I didn't even know.
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: And that was where the Holy Spirit took me to
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: Genesis one two and said, the union of the hovering
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: of the spirit and the spoken word is what bird's creation,
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: not just confession. You now understand why the samon to
- 1:01:00Speaker 4: say bring me or the prophet to say, bring me
- 1:01:02Speaker 4: a mistrel.
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: You even see this pattern.
- 1:01:06Speaker 4: I wish we had time, you would have seen what
- 1:01:09Speaker 4: happened after time. Saul, the son of Chiesh met with prophets,
- 1:01:13Speaker 4: sawhere away Bible students.
- 1:01:16Speaker 1: One of the signs that he was.
- 1:01:18Speaker 4: Given was that as you return number one, restoration had happened.
- 1:01:22Speaker 4: What was missing had now been found. Number two, honor
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: and favor. You will meet three men holding two loaves
- 1:01:28Speaker 4: of bread that will salute you and gift to you, and.
- 1:01:30Speaker 1: It says received.
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: Then number three, you will come to the garrison of
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: the Philistines and you will see some prophets and they
- 1:01:36Speaker 4: will be holding instruments of music.
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: What we're they doing with it walking on the street.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: It is a law. It's a spiritual law.
- 1:01:48Speaker 4: There is no man I know that works in superior
- 1:01:53Speaker 4: dimensions of the miraculous that does not have an inclination
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: to the atmosphere of worship. Let's wrap up, what then
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: is the assignment of prayer, the assignment of the word.
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: Like prayer, I have found from Scripture for principal assignments
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: of the Word in the life of the believer. Do
- 1:02:25Speaker 4: not forget what we're discussing this morning, the patterns that
- 1:02:30Speaker 4: make for growth and for stature. And we identify two
- 1:02:34Speaker 4: principal patterns according to Acts six four.
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: The ministry of prayer the ministry of the world.
- 1:02:41Speaker 4: And my assignment was to help to breage that gap,
- 1:02:44Speaker 4: that age long divide that has been in the body
- 1:02:48Speaker 4: of Christ. Whether you are given the liberty to choose
- 1:02:50Speaker 4: prayer or the word, we are never giving any liberty
- 1:02:55Speaker 4: of such, according to Scripture. So we use Jesus because
- 1:02:59Speaker 4: if we use a prophet or any other person, Jesus
- 1:03:03Speaker 4: is our pattern man. At least God credited him and
- 1:03:06Speaker 4: said I am well pleased. So if you study Jesus
- 1:03:10Speaker 4: is perfect theology.
- 1:03:13Speaker 1: Number one.
- 1:03:14Speaker 4: The first assignment of the world of God is to
- 1:03:16Speaker 4: build the character of Christ in the believer. My apologists,
- 1:03:20Speaker 4: I have to rush the first assignment of the world
- 1:03:24Speaker 4: of God is to build the character of Christ in
- 1:03:28Speaker 4: the believer.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: This is what you call transformation.
- 1:03:32Speaker 4: Transformation is the name given to the process that makes
- 1:03:35Speaker 4: you become like Christ in experience, it says, my little children,
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: of whom I travail until Christ be formed in you.
- 1:03:44Speaker 4: That formation of Christ is what we call character. Character
- 1:03:50Speaker 4: is not just about resolutions. It is something that comes
- 1:03:53Speaker 4: from within you. You will make resolutions and break them
- 1:03:57Speaker 4: until something dies within you.
- 1:03:59Speaker 1: And assignment of the Word of.
- 1:04:01Speaker 4: God is to grant you that capacity to evolve. Hallelujah.
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: Number two. The second assignment of the Word of God
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: is for the renewal of your mind. The renewal of
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: your mind, the Bible says in Philippians, chapter two and
- 1:04:20Speaker 4: verse five. It says, to permit this mind to be
- 1:04:22Speaker 4: in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Jesus did
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: not just excel because he was the son of God.
- 1:04:29Speaker 4: There was a mental construct. He had allowed the Word
- 1:04:32Speaker 4: of God to build, a kind of thinking, an approach
- 1:04:35Speaker 4: to life that gave the Holy Spirit room to do
- 1:04:38Speaker 4: mighty things through him. And he says, let this mind
- 1:04:41Speaker 4: be in you, which was also in Christ. Jesus in
- 1:04:44Speaker 4: Roman chapter twelve. When you read from verse one and two,
- 1:04:47Speaker 4: he such, I besiege the brethren by the messes of God,
- 1:04:50Speaker 4: that ye offer your bodies onto God living sacrifice. Holy
- 1:04:54Speaker 4: unacceptably calls it your reasonable act of worship. Verse two says,
- 1:04:58Speaker 4: and do not become.
- 1:05:00Speaker 1: To this world.
- 1:05:01Speaker 4: The word world, Yes, the Greek word aon. It means
- 1:05:04Speaker 4: the thinking pattern that comes with the age.
- 1:05:07Speaker 1: It says.
- 1:05:07Speaker 4: But be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind?
- 1:05:13Speaker 4: Are we together? Number three? What is the third assignment
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: of the world? The Word of God is the principal
- 1:05:21Speaker 4: channel for accessing wisdom and understanding.
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: The wisdom that comes from above.
- 1:05:29Speaker 4: In Second Timota chapter three, verse should that be fifteen
- 1:05:34Speaker 4: or so, it says, all scripture, No fifteen, Let's try fifteen.
- 1:05:39Speaker 1: Did I get that right? Yes? I'm that from a child.
- 1:05:43Speaker 4: Thou hast known the holy scriptures which are able to
- 1:05:47Speaker 4: make the wise.
- 1:05:48Speaker 1: You are made wise.
- 1:05:50Speaker 4: Yes, there is the spirit of wisdom and all of that,
- 1:05:53Speaker 4: But there is the stability. Let me tell you the truth. Honestly,
- 1:05:57Speaker 4: the Word of God contains the wise perspective on all matters.
- 1:06:02Speaker 4: If you submit yourself when you find people demonstrate certain
- 1:06:07Speaker 4: levels of godlike wisdom beyond that which is affordable as
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: far as our civilization is concerned, it was outsourced from
- 1:06:16Speaker 4: above through the world. The world can make men wise,
- 1:06:20Speaker 4: it can culture your approach to life.
- 1:06:22Speaker 1: It can bring dexterity and order to your life. Are
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: we together wisdom and understanding?
- 1:06:32Speaker 4: And finally, the fourth assignment of the world has reviewed
- 1:06:37Speaker 4: from scripture, is that it empowers us to work in authority.
- 1:06:42Speaker 4: It empowers us to work in authority. It empowers us
- 1:06:47Speaker 4: to work in authority. Everyone, especially in the New Testament
- 1:06:53Speaker 4: and afterwards, who work in authority. There were men and
- 1:06:57Speaker 4: women of the world when the Holygos came on the
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: day of Pentecost. They thought that they were drunk with
- 1:07:04Speaker 4: new wine. And Peter said no. He stilled them and said.
- 1:07:08Speaker 1: This is that.
- 1:07:09Speaker 4: And he began his exegesis right from Prophet Joel to
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: the Psalmist. And he said, this same Jesus, whom you
- 1:07:16Speaker 4: have crucified today, has been exalted as both Lord and Christ.
- 1:07:21Speaker 4: The Bible says when they heard it, they were caught
- 1:07:23Speaker 4: to the heart, and they said, manam brethern, what do
- 1:07:25Speaker 4: we do? And he said, repent for the remission of
- 1:07:27Speaker 4: your sins? And you shall also receive this promise, he says.
- 1:07:31Speaker 4: For this promise is unto you and to your children,
- 1:07:33Speaker 4: your children's children, even to as many as are far
- 1:07:36Speaker 4: off those that the Lord will call. It is impossible
- 1:07:39Speaker 4: to work in authority outside of the world. My change,
- 1:07:43Speaker 4: therefore is that we will obtain grace from this teaching
- 1:07:48Speaker 4: and all of the teachings before now and after now,
- 1:07:52Speaker 4: and submit ourselves to learn respectfully speaking, especially if the
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: call of God is on your life.
- 1:08:00Speaker 1: Whether you have begone.
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: Ministry or not, you never outgrow learning the world of God.
- 1:08:05Speaker 4: Your authority is a measure of the world of God
- 1:08:08Speaker 4: that is resident within you.
- 1:08:11Speaker 1: It is written. You may have heard me say, it's
- 1:08:13Speaker 1: greater than I saw. It is written. It is greater
- 1:08:17Speaker 1: than I heard.
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: No matter what you see and hear, it is written,
- 1:08:22Speaker 4: is above it you can use.
- 1:08:23Speaker 1: It is written to rewrite any narrative. So if I
- 1:08:28Speaker 1: wake up and have a negative dream, I saw what
- 1:08:33Speaker 1: I can use.
- 1:08:33Speaker 4: It is written to phto the outcome. Your life is
- 1:08:37Speaker 4: at a risk. If all you have is I saw,
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: your life is at a risk.
- 1:08:41Speaker 1: And you see.
- 1:08:41Speaker 4: Prayer helps you to see, Prayer helps you to hear.
- 1:08:46Speaker 4: But I hope you bring that prayer under the dominion
- 1:08:48Speaker 4: of the world. Because I tell you it is written,
- 1:08:51Speaker 4: is greater than I saw. It is written, is greater
- 1:08:55Speaker 4: than I heard.
- 1:08:56Speaker 1: I saw I heard. Can carry several imagines of error
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: based on your level of transformation.
- 1:09:03Speaker 4: When you grow later, you find out what you saw
- 1:09:06Speaker 4: was not correct. But this that is written remains even
- 1:09:09Speaker 4: in the realm of the Spirit. Colossians one, verse sixteen
- 1:09:13Speaker 4: let me wrap up exalts the word of God and
- 1:09:17Speaker 4: shows the level the extent of the dominion of the
- 1:09:21Speaker 4: world of God. It says, for by Him, where all
- 1:09:23Speaker 4: things created that are in Heaven and that are in
- 1:09:26Speaker 4: the earth, visible and invisible. The scope of the impact
- 1:09:31Speaker 4: of the world of God is beyond the visible realm.
- 1:09:34Speaker 4: It says, whether they be thrones, dominions, principalities, or powers,
- 1:09:39Speaker 4: all things were created by Him and for Him.
- 1:09:45Speaker 1: My charge.
- 1:09:47Speaker 4: Is that we obtain grace from God and breach the
- 1:09:51Speaker 4: age long gap.
- 1:09:53Speaker 1: Never watch people praying.
- 1:09:55Speaker 4: And say, these guys are just prayer prayer people, They
- 1:09:58Speaker 4: are just fanatics. Be care because there may be something
- 1:10:02Speaker 4: you are missing. There are many things you will never
- 1:10:04Speaker 4: understand about the realm of the Spirit until you submit
- 1:10:07Speaker 4: yourself to exten dead periods of prayer. Take note of
- 1:10:11Speaker 4: my choice of words, extend dead periods of prayer. I
- 1:10:15Speaker 4: submit to you by the integrity of God's word. There
- 1:10:18Speaker 4: are certain realms you may never understand the dynamics of
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: their operation. There are certain levels of the presence, the
- 1:10:25Speaker 4: cha kaana, the manifest that presence of God that may
- 1:10:28Speaker 4: never find expression in your life until you submit yourself to.
- 1:10:31Speaker 1: Prayer with fasting.
- 1:10:36Speaker 4: If I had the time, I would have told you
- 1:10:38Speaker 4: what the fire of prayer does, because the Bible says
- 1:10:41Speaker 4: when they are caught, they fell.
- 1:10:44Speaker 1: Would remember in the Book of Art, there was.
- 1:10:46Speaker 4: A viper hiding there, the vipi he because the wood
- 1:10:50Speaker 4: was so cold. The moment it was lit with fire,
- 1:10:53Speaker 4: the viper that.
- 1:10:54Speaker 1: Was hiding came out.
- 1:10:56Speaker 4: It is impossible for anything to hide when you are
- 1:10:59Speaker 4: on fire. In fact, Jesus was speaking about the deliverance.
- 1:11:05Speaker 4: He said, when a spirit leaves a man, it goes
- 1:11:08Speaker 4: to a desert region, and without anybody casting it from
- 1:11:12Speaker 4: the desert, it will run back to the man because
- 1:11:14Speaker 4: a desert is a hot place.
- 1:11:17Speaker 1: It was just a prophetic message.
- 1:11:19Speaker 4: He meets you called, even though swept and empty, it
- 1:11:23Speaker 4: will gather orders and bring there. No matter how mad
- 1:11:26Speaker 4: a man is, he does not enter fire by mistake.
- 1:11:31Speaker 4: And listen, Jesus speaking about prayer, said my house, not
- 1:11:38Speaker 4: just the temple he's talking of.
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: You shall be called number one. Hold on, hold on.
- 1:11:43Speaker 4: He leaves you with two options. You are either called
- 1:11:46Speaker 4: a house of prayer or a den of Roberts. Because
- 1:11:50Speaker 4: the thief is there ready to steal. So you are
- 1:11:53Speaker 4: either a house of prayer, or your coldness makes you
- 1:11:57Speaker 4: a den of Roberts. He will steal your joy, still,
- 1:12:00Speaker 4: your health, still any other thing. You are either a
- 1:12:03Speaker 4: house of prayer or a den of Roberts. I choose
- 1:12:07Speaker 4: to be a house of prayer.
- 1:12:13Speaker 1: But then I trust God for grace, and we thank
- 1:12:18Speaker 1: God for.
- 1:12:18Speaker 4: The remarkable apostolic works that great men like perssupport. You
- 1:12:22Speaker 4: are doing across with warf beg to be able to
- 1:12:25Speaker 4: breede the gross ignorance that is in the body of Christ.
- 1:12:29Speaker 4: I apologize. Please lend me one minute. Let me press
- 1:12:31Speaker 4: on this. This is very important. I submit to you
- 1:12:34Speaker 4: that there is a lot of random, uncoordinated knowledge within
- 1:12:38Speaker 4: the Body of Christ. Knowledge must be sequentially arranged. You see,
- 1:12:43Speaker 4: knowledge is like a building. The Bible calls of spiritual houses.
- 1:12:48Speaker 4: Do you build a foundation and put a sink on
- 1:12:51Speaker 4: it just because it is required in the building. There
- 1:12:54Speaker 4: is timing and there is sequence. It is lying upon line.
- 1:12:58Speaker 4: So most believers free life as their knowledge. They add
- 1:13:01Speaker 4: anything upon anything, and it does not equal to the
- 1:13:04Speaker 4: glory of God.
- 1:13:06Speaker 1: It is time for us to reset.
- 1:13:08Speaker 4: Literally, some of us may need to go back to
- 1:13:10Speaker 4: the drawing board and begin to examine the pillers. The
- 1:13:14Speaker 4: Bible says in Hebrews chapter six six foundational doctrines that
- 1:13:19Speaker 4: make up the believers foundation, six of them.
- 1:13:23Speaker 1: Are we together? Now?
- 1:13:25Speaker 4: From there, it says, let's move on to perfection? There
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: are other aspects. What first things First, it's a waste
- 1:13:31Speaker 4: learning about prosperity where you are not saved. You've not
- 1:13:34Speaker 4: learned about character. You are learning about money. You want
- 1:13:37Speaker 4: to die to kill you. You must understand death to
- 1:13:40Speaker 4: the flesh. Then that will profit you. Are we together?
- 1:13:43Speaker 1: Now? You are praying for.
- 1:13:46Speaker 4: Increase, and you have not built capacity in the spirit.
- 1:13:49Speaker 4: The challenges that come with that increase, you will not
- 1:13:51Speaker 4: be able to endure. So I'm hoping and trusting, and
- 1:13:57Speaker 4: I pray that God will help all of us, including myself,
- 1:14:00Speaker 4: men and women of God across Nigeria Africa in this
- 1:14:04Speaker 4: prophetic wave of revival, that we must return to the
- 1:14:07Speaker 4: place of doctrine. We must obtain grace to leave this
- 1:14:11Speaker 4: celebrity Christianity and get serious with building God's people. According
- 1:14:16Speaker 4: to Jeremiah three fifteen, that we become pastors according to
- 1:14:20Speaker 4: God's heart, who will feed God's people with knowledge.
- 1:14:24Speaker 1: And with understanding. Let me rest my case, Please rise
- 1:14:27Speaker 1: upon your faith.
- 1:14:34Speaker 5: Ah ah, just one prayer point, Father, I obtain grace
- 1:14:57Speaker 5: to submit myself to pray and the ministry of the world.
- 1:15:02Speaker 1: Please lift your voice and pray. Let it be from
- 1:15:04Speaker 1: the depth of your heart.
- 1:15:06Speaker 4: Where I have de emphasized or over emphasized. I obtain
- 1:15:11Speaker 4: grace to balance my coordinates, to make sure that I
- 1:15:15Speaker 4: am robust and sound in the ministry of prayer, with
- 1:15:19Speaker 4: fasting intimacy with the Spirit, and then the ministry of
- 1:15:24Speaker 4: the world. I submit myself to learn doctrine. I submit
- 1:15:28Speaker 4: myself to be methodically mentor. I obtain grace from you
- 1:15:33Speaker 4: that I would be like the Lamb's wife, equal in length,
- 1:15:36Speaker 4: equal in preath, with no exaggerations
