Speaker 2: The Bible says, for everyone that asked, receiveth If someone
1:14
Speaker 2: praying ask him to give you an encounter by his word,
1:28
Speaker 2: the Bible says, they go from strength to strength as

2:56
Speaker 2: be seated. Thank you again for this opportunity. I want
3:02
Speaker 2: to request that you please lend me your attention. I
3:04
Speaker 2: want to share something that the Lord plays in my
3:07
Speaker 2: heart that I truly believe will help and add to
3:14
Speaker 2: our understanding as far as the workings of faith is concerned.
3:19
Speaker 2: In this kingdom. We rise upon the strength of the
3:23
Speaker 2: light that we have. Allelujah. The Bible says God called
3:28
Speaker 2: the light day and the darkness he called night, and
3:34
Speaker 2: so day in the spirit. It's not the chronological passage
3:38
Speaker 2: of time, but when your light comes, allelujah. Yeah, he
3:45
Speaker 2: called the light day and the darkness he called night,
3:50
Speaker 2: and the Bible says, weeping en deals for as long
3:53
Speaker 2: as it is night, but joy comes with the morning.
3:58
Speaker 2: So I want us to pay attention. Were exploring in
4:01
Speaker 2: this conference faith in its entirety. When I saw the theme,
4:05
Speaker 2: I was really very encouraged because I think that many
4:09
Speaker 2: believers understand instinctively the subject of faith and its relevance
4:14
Speaker 2: to the believer's life. But most people, and even those
4:18
Speaker 2: who have been raised by those who preach faith, have
4:21
Speaker 2: not really understood the entire dimensions of faith that are
4:26
Speaker 2: responsible for the holistic development and the victory of the believer.
4:31
Speaker 2: And I trust that all through the sessions in this conference,
4:35
Speaker 2: that God will add line upon line, precept upon precept
4:40
Speaker 2: until we have a thorough understanding of the workings of faith.
4:44
Speaker 2: So are you ready this afternoon, I'm teaching on a
4:48
Speaker 2: subject that I titled the Order Side of Faith. Please
4:53
Speaker 2: write it down and please listen. The order side of faith,
5:00
Speaker 2: the other side of faith. The Bible is full of
5:04
Speaker 2: other sides. When you read, I think that's Mark four
5:07
Speaker 2: thirty five, Jesus said, let us go to the other side.
5:11
Speaker 2: There is always the other side to everything. And if
5:14
Speaker 2: you do not understand the other side of faith, you
5:18
Speaker 2: will not be standing on a very strong foundation. Allelujah. Now,
5:24
Speaker 2: let me begin this session by establishing a few things,
5:27
Speaker 2: and please lend me your attention. Number one. I wrote
5:30
Speaker 2: here that the end of the believer's journey with God.
5:33
Speaker 2: Please listen. The end of the believer's journey with God
5:38
Speaker 2: is that you eventually become a manifestation of the glory
5:43
Speaker 2: of God. This is God's goal at the back of
5:48
Speaker 2: his dealing with all believers, regardless your assignment, regardless your background,
5:54
Speaker 2: the moment you begin to journey with God, this is
5:58
Speaker 2: the intent at the back of his mind. Not just
6:02
Speaker 2: heaven are we together, Not just victory over Satan, as
6:07
Speaker 2: it were. But God's goal for every believer is that eventually,
6:13
Speaker 2: in your Christian experience, you become a holistic capture of
6:18
Speaker 2: the glory of God. In Romance, chapter eight, when we
6:21
Speaker 2: read from verse eighteen and nineteen, the Bible says, poorly speaking, now,
6:25
Speaker 2: for I reckon that the sufferings of this present time,
6:29
Speaker 2: he says, are not worthy to be compared with the
6:33
Speaker 2: glory that shall be revealed in us. The next verse
6:38
Speaker 2: is for the expectation of creation are waited, the manifestation
6:43
Speaker 2: of the sons of God. Are we together now? So
6:45
Speaker 2: the Bible tells us that there is a dimension of
6:48
Speaker 2: God's glory that God seeks to be revealed in a believer.
6:52
Speaker 2: In fact, the Apostle coins it beautifully. He calls us
6:56
Speaker 2: living epieceles that means our lives should be an explanation
7:01
Speaker 2: of the multifastseted dimensions of God. Efficients to understand says,
7:07
Speaker 2: we are His workmanship. Are we still together created in Christ? Jesus?
7:11
Speaker 2: He says onto good works which God had before time
7:16
Speaker 2: at full time. It's a preordination. God is not just
7:20
Speaker 2: inventing it, hoping you know that He would make our
7:24
Speaker 2: lives become that He was at the back of his
7:27
Speaker 2: mind at the point of our creation. So every believer
7:30
Speaker 2: must have this that your life eventually should become a
7:36
Speaker 2: manifestation of the glory of God. So regardless where God
7:41
Speaker 2: finds you, when he begins that journey with you as
7:46
Speaker 2: a believer, you must sustain this orientation that, regardless my life,
7:51
Speaker 2: whether it carries any capture of glory and grace or not,
7:55
Speaker 2: that as I begin to work with God, the end
7:58
Speaker 2: product of God's dealing with me away together is that
8:02
Speaker 2: my life will eventually When you know this, it will
8:06
Speaker 2: sustain the staying power. It will give you the ability
8:09
Speaker 2: to continue even when you don't understand what God is doing.
8:12
Speaker 2: Away Together. Now, Yes, when you drive safe from here
8:16
Speaker 2: to the furthest part in Legos, for over ninety nine
8:19
Speaker 2: percent of your journey, you do not see your destination,
8:22
Speaker 2: but the awareness that it is there it motivates you
8:25
Speaker 2: to continue. Are well learning already. So most believers are
8:31
Speaker 2: at a loss as to what God is doing with
8:33
Speaker 2: them exactly. They just know instinctively he's making a profit
8:38
Speaker 2: out of me. He's making an apostle, he's making a
8:40
Speaker 2: business man. I tell you that that is not enough
8:43
Speaker 2: motivation as far as the challenges you will have to
8:46
Speaker 2: overcome to become You need to know that God's goal
8:50
Speaker 2: for me and you in Christ is that we eventually
8:54
Speaker 2: become a manifestation of the glory of God Galatians one
8:58
Speaker 2: twenty four. Most become our testimony eventually, and they glorified
9:02
Speaker 2: God in me. Are we learning already? This is the
9:08
Speaker 2: first point I need to establish. So regardless what you
9:12
Speaker 2: are going through, whether you understand your work with God
9:14
Speaker 2: correctly or not, you must have this at the back
9:16
Speaker 2: of your mind, that the end of every believer's journey
9:21
Speaker 2: is that you and I become experientially a manifestation of
9:25
Speaker 2: the glory of God. I like the way Paul puts
9:28
Speaker 2: it teaching Deficients the Church in Ephisos. In Deficients I Believe,
9:32
Speaker 2: Chapter three and verse ten, he says to the intent
9:35
Speaker 2: that now onto principalities and powers in heavenly places might
9:40
Speaker 2: be made known by the ecclesia the Church. The manifold
9:44
Speaker 2: multifaceted wisdom of God Allelujah. The glory of God is
9:53
Speaker 2: a holistic capture of everything that makes God God, his wisdom,
9:58
Speaker 2: his power, his favor, every dimension, every component in God
10:04
Speaker 2: that makes him desired, that makes him admirable, that makes
10:08
Speaker 2: him worthy of a worship. He intends that it be
10:12
Speaker 2: important and be made manifest in the life of the believer.
10:16
Speaker 2: That means, eventually your life should become a sign and
10:19
Speaker 2: a wonder. It is true. This is not just something
10:23
Speaker 2: you claim. It is something you become. Is the end
10:27
Speaker 2: product of a journey, that your life becomes a fearful wonder,
10:31
Speaker 2: first to you and then to creation. This is how
10:34
Speaker 2: God is glorified. John seventeen and verse one. He lifted
10:38
Speaker 2: his voice to heaven. Jesus is praying now, and he said, Father,
10:41
Speaker 2: the hour is come. He says, glorified thy son, that
10:45
Speaker 2: thy son may glorify thee John chapter fifteen and verse eight.
10:50
Speaker 2: Hearing is our Father glorified when ye bear much fruit,
10:55
Speaker 2: So shall you be my disciples. Verse sixteen of the
10:58
Speaker 2: same chapter says you have not chosen me. He says,
11:01
Speaker 2: but I have chosen you and ordained you. You know
11:04
Speaker 2: what it means to ordain to legitimize your operation. I
11:08
Speaker 2: have ordained you and legitimized you to go and bring
11:12
Speaker 2: forth foot, and that your foot will remain. God's goal
11:18
Speaker 2: for you and I in Christ is that we become
11:22
Speaker 2: eventually an experiential manifestation of the glory of God. Allelujah.
11:28
Speaker 2: You must have this at the back of your mind.
11:30
Speaker 2: The second point that I want to establish very quickly
11:34
Speaker 2: is that our work with God and our exploit in
11:38
Speaker 2: the kingdom listen carefully, will always demand partnership with the
11:43
Speaker 2: realm of the Spirit. Our work with God and our
11:48
Speaker 2: exploits in this kingdom will always demand our partnership with
11:54
Speaker 2: the realm of the Spirit. The structure for manifestation is
11:58
Speaker 2: that the Spirit and the ride say come, not the
12:02
Speaker 2: bride alone, not the spirit alone. It is the union
12:06
Speaker 2: of the Spirit and the bride that can say come.
12:10
Speaker 2: Healing comes when the Spirit says come, and the bride
12:13
Speaker 2: also says come. Everything that happens on earth is a
12:17
Speaker 2: union between the Spirit and the bride. So if the
12:21
Speaker 2: Spirit is saying come, if the Spirit is saying be lifted,
12:25
Speaker 2: is the spirit is saying advance and the bride does
12:28
Speaker 2: not sustain intelligence to work in partnership that may never manifest.
12:34
Speaker 2: Are we together now? At every point in your Christian life,
12:38
Speaker 2: there will be a demand for partnership with the realm
12:41
Speaker 2: of the Spirit. Jesus began to teach us this in
12:44
Speaker 2: what we have come to know as the Lord's Prayer.
12:46
Speaker 2: He says, when you pray, pray in this manner, not
12:49
Speaker 2: just by this ricization. In this manner, our Father, he says.
12:53
Speaker 2: Then he says, which at in heaven. Immediately he tells
12:56
Speaker 2: you that he recites in a domain that is beyond physical,
13:00
Speaker 2: So you will need another technology to be able to
13:03
Speaker 2: make that connection. He is not physical like flesh and blood,
13:07
Speaker 2: which are in heaven. Are we together now? That means
13:11
Speaker 2: any discussion between you and God will demand your awareness
13:16
Speaker 2: of the realm of the Spirit. Then in Hebrew chapter eleven,
13:19
Speaker 2: verse three, will go there shortly, the Bible says, true faith,
13:23
Speaker 2: we understand we were not there. But true faith, we
13:26
Speaker 2: understand that the worlds were framed. They had their material
13:31
Speaker 2: expression by the word of God, so that the things
13:35
Speaker 2: which are seen, this is how the Spirit operates, were
13:39
Speaker 2: not made of the things which do appear. John one
13:44
Speaker 2: and verse three. The Bible says, all things were made
13:48
Speaker 2: by him and without him. That means outside of partnership
13:52
Speaker 2: with him, the world was not anything made that was made.
13:58
Speaker 2: Are we together? So you must understand that your entire journey,
14:04
Speaker 2: this has nothing to do with whether you're a man
14:06
Speaker 2: of God in ministry or a business man, a carrier person,
14:10
Speaker 2: a family person. The moment you come into this life,
14:14
Speaker 2: this kingdom life, the demand is that you must consistently
14:19
Speaker 2: work in partnership with the realm of the Spirit. In fact,
14:23
Speaker 2: James put it beautiful in chapter two and verse twenty six.
14:26
Speaker 2: He says he was teaching on faith and works, and
14:29
Speaker 2: he borrowed an interesting phenomenon, and he says for us,
14:33
Speaker 2: the body without the spirit is dead, so faith with
14:37
Speaker 2: that works is dead. Also. That means any time you
14:41
Speaker 2: see a material frame, there is a spirit component that
14:45
Speaker 2: sustains it. If your business only has a body, it
14:48
Speaker 2: will die. There has to be a spirit sustaining it.
14:53
Speaker 2: Are we together? Now? This was what David understood when
14:56
Speaker 2: he stood before Goliad. He said, you are a body
14:59
Speaker 2: that is powered by a covenant. I come to you,
15:02
Speaker 2: he says, you come to me with your fairs, but
15:04
Speaker 2: I come to you in the name this material frame
15:08
Speaker 2: is not what will fight you. There is a backing
15:10
Speaker 2: from the spirit. This is what you was telling Goliad.
15:14
Speaker 2: It would be stupid for a young boy to stand
15:16
Speaker 2: before that beast. Veterans of war were running away from him,
15:20
Speaker 2: and here comes a very young teenager. Your Christian experience
15:28
Speaker 2: will always demand partnership with the realm of the Spirit.
15:32
Speaker 2: This is what necessitates the understanding of the subject of faith.
15:36
Speaker 2: Are we together now? So? Four times in the Bible
15:40
Speaker 2: scripture says that just shall leave by faith. You find
15:44
Speaker 2: that first in Hebrews chapter two and verse four. Please
15:46
Speaker 2: write for reference Hebrews two and verse four. Then Romance
15:50
Speaker 2: one seventeen, then Galatians three eleven. Finally we find that
15:56
Speaker 2: in Hebrews ten thirty eight, Cook Chapter two, My apologies,
16:01
Speaker 2: Haba Cook Chapter twoe, verse four. Did I say haba Cook? Yeah,
16:05
Speaker 2: Romance one seventeen, Galicians three eleven, Hebrews ten thirty eight.
16:10
Speaker 2: All of these together they speak the same language that
16:13
Speaker 2: the just in Christ, whoever is in Christ, we live
16:18
Speaker 2: by faith. Now, let's talk about faith. Are you ready?
16:22
Speaker 2: Hebrews eleven, Thank Jesus, Hebrews eleven. You see why church
16:28
Speaker 2: is a beautiful place there are things you only get
16:31
Speaker 2: in church. I was glad when he said unto me.
16:34
Speaker 2: They said unto me. Let us go to the house
16:37
Speaker 2: of the Lord Hebrews, chapter eleven. This we have known
16:43
Speaker 2: and believed to be about the most concise capture of
16:47
Speaker 2: the subject of faith. Let's look at verse one. Please
16:51
Speaker 2: lend me your attention. This is truly where my teaching starts.
16:55
Speaker 2: It says, now, faith is the substant of things. Everybody
17:01
Speaker 2: say things, Please one more time, say things, the substance
17:06
Speaker 2: of things hoped for. Then it says the evidence of things.
17:11
Speaker 2: Not seeing one more time say things. So Verse one
17:15
Speaker 2: carries an idea that faith has to do with things.
17:20
Speaker 2: Are we together? The common expression there is that faith
17:25
Speaker 2: is the substance, the tangibility of the things that we
17:29
Speaker 2: hope for. Then it calls it the evidence of the things.
17:34
Speaker 2: So faith has to do with things number one. This
17:39
Speaker 2: dimension is not new one strange to the average believer.
17:43
Speaker 2: We understand that faith gives a man capacity to obtain
17:48
Speaker 2: things away together. But I want to introduce to you
17:52
Speaker 2: another dimension, and this is why I call it the
17:55
Speaker 2: other side of faith. Let's read verse two together. Then
18:00
Speaker 2: let's shout us two together. Ready, one to read for
18:03
Speaker 2: by it one more time. Please, what did the elders
18:13
Speaker 2: obtain a good report? So the Bible tells us that
18:19
Speaker 2: number one, faith is required to deal with the matter
18:23
Speaker 2: of things, but that there is a dimension to faith
18:28
Speaker 2: that many believers do not understand. It does not deliver things.
18:32
Speaker 2: It delivers a testimonial, a good report. It says all
18:38
Speaker 2: the elders in Hebrews eleven they obtained a good report.
18:46
Speaker 2: So from scripture here number one, we see that faith
18:49
Speaker 2: has two assignments. Please pay attention number one. The first
18:54
Speaker 2: assignment of faith is to deliver desires and deliver promises
19:01
Speaker 2: that are consistent with the will of God. The first
19:05
Speaker 2: assignment of faith, as revealed here, is as a platform
19:09
Speaker 2: that delivers desired expectations that delivers promises. But this is
19:16
Speaker 2: not the only assignment of faith in God's economy. The
19:20
Speaker 2: most superior assignment of faith listen carefully, is a platform
19:26
Speaker 2: for obtaining good report. What is good report? A testimonial?
19:34
Speaker 2: Before God, I looked up that word testimonial, testimonial, and
19:39
Speaker 2: let me read for you what I found. Then we continue,
19:41
Speaker 2: is God speaking to someone already? A testimonial is defined
19:45
Speaker 2: as a written declaration satifying to a person's character, conduct,
19:53
Speaker 2: or qualification. I take it again. A testimonial is a
19:57
Speaker 2: written declaration satisfying to a person's character, a person's conduct,
20:04
Speaker 2: or a person's qualification, from which recommendations are made. That
20:11
Speaker 2: means the basis for promotion, the basis for increase is
20:16
Speaker 2: when you examine a man's testimonial. Are we together? In
20:20
Speaker 2: corporate life? You don't promote people emotionally and arbituarly. Know
20:24
Speaker 2: there is a record, are we together? A record of service,
20:28
Speaker 2: a record. It is the recommendation whether to leave that
20:32
Speaker 2: person at that level or promote him to a higher
20:35
Speaker 2: realm is at the basis of examining his testimonial, and
20:39
Speaker 2: the Bible says the assignment of faith is to print
20:43
Speaker 2: out your testimonial what will present before God and life.
20:47
Speaker 2: That necessitates your rising, necessitates your advancement. And the Bible says,
20:52
Speaker 2: with that faith, all the elders obtain good reports. Allelujah.
21:00
Speaker 2: That means, everywhere we study faith in the Bible, you
21:04
Speaker 2: must look out for these two things. Number one, desires
21:08
Speaker 2: and expectations obtained, but number two, reports and testimonials established.
21:14
Speaker 2: If your perspective of faith is only about receiving things
21:19
Speaker 2: and desired expectations. There is a side of God you
21:22
Speaker 2: will never experience, and there is a side of Grace
21:25
Speaker 2: you will never touch. Are we together now? Now? The
21:29
Speaker 2: average believers understanding of faith is just with respect to things,
21:34
Speaker 2: and you are right. It is only that you are incomplete.
21:37
Speaker 2: That's why Verse one starts by telling us that now
21:41
Speaker 2: faith is, and we still together. The substance of things
21:46
Speaker 2: and the evidence of things one more time. The substance
21:50
Speaker 2: of things and the evidence of things and things are
21:54
Speaker 2: very important. Match eleven twenty four. Jesus was teaching, and
21:58
Speaker 2: it says, what things so I ye desire. It says,
22:02
Speaker 2: when ye pray, believe that thou receivest them, and thou
22:07
Speaker 2: shalt have them. So there is a place for obtaining promises.
22:12
Speaker 2: Scripture calls them exceeding great and precious promises. It says
22:16
Speaker 2: that by them we might be the partakers of His
22:19
Speaker 2: divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the
22:22
Speaker 2: world through lost through faith. Many obtained promises in Scripture,
22:29
Speaker 2: but that faith, true faith Bible faith is not limited
22:34
Speaker 2: to just obtaining things. There is a higher and more
22:37
Speaker 2: superior assignment of faith. We by faith obtain good reports.
22:45
Speaker 2: Are we still together? Now? Let's look at Hebrews eleven,
22:48
Speaker 2: My God, verse four. The Bible then to bod thrust
22:55
Speaker 2: this understanding. It leasts for us five people, among others,
23:01
Speaker 2: in fact, many of them, but the first five. I
23:04
Speaker 2: want to examine the first five personalities in the Bible
23:08
Speaker 2: that he calls elders. You will find out that none
23:11
Speaker 2: of them necessarily received any promise, but they all receive reports.
23:16
Speaker 2: Because you will be learning that there are some times
23:18
Speaker 2: in your journey where the promise is not yet in view,
23:21
Speaker 2: and because of that, the devil will make you believe
23:23
Speaker 2: you are not working by faith. Yet there is a report.
23:26
Speaker 2: The whole journey is building a track record. Go to
23:31
Speaker 2: verse four. Let's hurry up for the sake of time.
23:33
Speaker 2: I'm just starting my session now. It says by faith.
23:36
Speaker 2: The first elder that the Bible now begins to teach
23:39
Speaker 2: us faith using his life is the man Abel. He says,
23:44
Speaker 2: by faith, Abel offered onto God, are we still together?
23:47
Speaker 2: A more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained
23:53
Speaker 2: witness a testimonial? What was his testimonial? That he was righteous?
23:58
Speaker 2: That's it. He didn't obtain things but there was a
24:03
Speaker 2: testimony before God that he was righteous, willing to give
24:07
Speaker 2: everything to honor God. And the Bible still calls it faith.
24:11
Speaker 2: This is the number one personality that the Bible you saw.
24:15
Speaker 2: You need to understand the mind of God in discussing faith.
24:18
Speaker 2: Are you ready for number two? Number two is called Noah.
24:22
Speaker 2: Please give it to us. Verse five. Let's hurry up, media,
24:27
Speaker 2: let's work together. Verse five still he Brews eleven and
24:31
Speaker 2: verse five. Okay, Noch, my apologies, the Bible says by
24:37
Speaker 2: faith Enoch was translated. Remember he's telling us elders now
24:42
Speaker 2: that he should not see death and was not found
24:45
Speaker 2: because God that translated him. Read the remaining part. Please
24:49
Speaker 2: for before his translation verse five. Now just keive verse five, Media,
24:54
Speaker 2: for before his translation, he had this testimony that he
25:00
Speaker 2: pleased God. This was his report. Second individual, no mention
25:13
Speaker 2: of things, but there was a testimony. Are you ready
25:17
Speaker 2: for number six? Verse God to verse seven, the third
25:22
Speaker 2: person I believe the man Noah. Are you ready for Noah? Now?
25:26
Speaker 2: So we have looked at number one, abell number two Enoch,
25:31
Speaker 2: number three by faith again, noah' been woned of God
25:36
Speaker 2: of things not seen as yet. The Bible says he
25:40
Speaker 2: was moved with reverence. Reverence he prepared an act to
25:46
Speaker 2: the saving of his house, by which he condemned the
25:50
Speaker 2: world and became an heir of righteousness by faith. That
25:55
Speaker 2: was his testimony that he reverenced God. He took God seriously.
25:59
Speaker 2: When God spoke, he did not join the mockers to
26:02
Speaker 2: mock him. Are you ready for number four? Let's go
26:12
Speaker 2: to verse eleven. The fourth personality that in that order
26:18
Speaker 2: is the man Abraham that we know, one called the
26:21
Speaker 2: father of faith. Let's go to verse eleven eleven eleven
26:25
Speaker 2: Hebrews by faith, Abraham, when he was called to go
26:33
Speaker 2: into a place, watch this now, which he should after
26:36
Speaker 2: receive for an inheritance. The Bible says he obeyed, and
26:42
Speaker 2: he went out, not knowing where he was going to go.
26:46
Speaker 2: That's verse eight. Jump to verse eleven. Please jump to
26:50
Speaker 2: verse eleven. Thank you true faith. No no, no, Hebrews
26:53
Speaker 2: eleven and eleven, Thank you true faith. He says. Sarah
26:58
Speaker 2: also received strength watch this to conceive side, and was
27:03
Speaker 2: delivered of a child when she was past her age.
27:05
Speaker 2: What was her report? She judged him faithful that had promised.
27:12
Speaker 2: Is someone learning now? So can you see that the
27:16
Speaker 2: Bible tells us that these elders. Do you know that
27:20
Speaker 2: not all of them obtained promises? You want me to
27:22
Speaker 2: show you the Bible. The Bible talks about women who
27:26
Speaker 2: died who called their dead back to life, and others
27:30
Speaker 2: rejected willingly the promise for a better resurrection. There were
27:36
Speaker 2: those who had the power to receive deliverance, but they
27:39
Speaker 2: chose report more than things. They said in God's economy,
27:43
Speaker 2: having a testimony before God is greater than just obtaining things.
27:48
Speaker 2: And they had the power to be delivered, but they said,
27:51
Speaker 2: will not be delivered. And yet the Bible called all
27:54
Speaker 2: of them elders. Are we learning now? Because you see
28:04
Speaker 2: the character of faith is this? Watch this? The testimony
28:11
Speaker 2: of knowing and trusting God through the journey is more
28:15
Speaker 2: superior to the desires obtained in the journey. The testimony
28:20
Speaker 2: you're becoming with God is greater than your receiving. Both
28:25
Speaker 2: of them are important and needed for your overall excelling.
28:29
Speaker 2: But in order of spiritual priority, the testimony of your
28:33
Speaker 2: trusting God, the testimony of your becoming, that spiritual evolution,
28:39
Speaker 2: is of greater value in the spirit than obtaining things.
28:46
Speaker 2: Are we together any faith, Johnny I wrote here should
28:52
Speaker 2: leave you knowing and trusting God better even more than
28:55
Speaker 2: the results you obtain. So if all you show me
28:59
Speaker 2: in your work with God are the physical materials that
29:02
Speaker 2: come by engaging the word, I will congratulate you, but
29:06
Speaker 2: I will tell you there is a side of God
29:07
Speaker 2: you do not yet know. Are we learning so? Bible faith, therefore,
29:15
Speaker 2: is a combination of reports and promises obtained, not promises alone.
29:22
Speaker 2: Bible faith is a combination of a testimonial before God
29:27
Speaker 2: and then the promises that come. Are weay together? There
29:34
Speaker 2: is faith as a school. There is faith as a
29:38
Speaker 2: journey that helps you know God in his various dimensions,
29:43
Speaker 2: and the Bible says it gives you a noble report.
29:47
Speaker 2: Second Demoute one and verse twelve. The apostle was speaking,
29:50
Speaker 2: and he says, I know whom I have believed. I
29:55
Speaker 2: know whom I have believed. I didn't just believe him.
29:58
Speaker 2: I know whom I believe. You can try to walk
30:02
Speaker 2: out and believe who you do not know. Jesus was
30:04
Speaker 2: rebuking the woman at the well, and he said, you
30:06
Speaker 2: worship you what you do not know, so you can
30:09
Speaker 2: have all of the activities of religion happening, and yet
30:14
Speaker 2: you do not know him. Remember in Athens they were
30:17
Speaker 2: bowing down and wrote an inscription to one unknown God.
30:22
Speaker 2: It says, I know whom I have believed. Are We're
30:25
Speaker 2: still together? It says, And I am persuaded. Please go
30:29
Speaker 2: back to se Contimothy that he's able to keep that
30:33
Speaker 2: which is committed onto him. The end point of this
30:37
Speaker 2: journey of faith with God. When you obtain that testimonial,
30:41
Speaker 2: it plans conviction. That conviction is the raw material that
30:45
Speaker 2: brings promises. Are we together now? Yes? See, when you
30:51
Speaker 2: meet people who just mechanically believe God, you see the
30:54
Speaker 2: difficulty in trying to receive the embarrassment. Their egoist on
30:58
Speaker 2: the line. They are here oping the world does not
31:01
Speaker 2: fail them. There is no testimony yet, they are just
31:04
Speaker 2: trying to obtain as proof that they met God. But
31:07
Speaker 2: a man that has a testimony with God is not
31:09
Speaker 2: embarrassed whether results come or not, because he has obtained
31:13
Speaker 2: a nopular path. And can I tell you for such people,
31:17
Speaker 2: results always happen eventually, HALEI my chaperone Ascavilla Capparo theater.
31:31
Speaker 2: Do you believe what you're hearing? Listen? The Bible lets
31:38
Speaker 2: us know that faith on one hand, let me repeat
31:45
Speaker 2: again for your understanding, is a platform, a spiritual platform
31:50
Speaker 2: that convert spiritual realities. Remember what Paul said that we
31:53
Speaker 2: have been blessed with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
31:56
Speaker 2: in Christ. I have other sessions who deal with the
31:59
Speaker 2: diet of mix of obtaining promises. But to start my
32:02
Speaker 2: session tonight, it's important that we bring this other side
32:06
Speaker 2: of faith because there are many people You've been trusting
32:09
Speaker 2: God as you call it, for many promises to be
32:12
Speaker 2: made manifest. And if they said those who are faith
32:15
Speaker 2: stand up, you may feel embarrassed because you do not
32:18
Speaker 2: have any physical evidence. But I'm telling you that faith
32:21
Speaker 2: does not stop at things. There is a report you
32:25
Speaker 2: have in the spirit. I don't have a job yet,
32:30
Speaker 2: but my prayer life has grown trusting God. I don't
32:33
Speaker 2: have a job yet, but God kept me through twenty
32:36
Speaker 2: twenty three not knowing everyone there is. All the names
32:40
Speaker 2: of God you see were products of experiences. They did
32:43
Speaker 2: not just name him arbituaryly. No, there was an experience
32:48
Speaker 2: that produced the knowledge of Rapha and Girah and seeknom.
32:53
Speaker 2: God has not stopped being named your entire spiritual journey
32:57
Speaker 2: should give God a name that should be your gift
32:59
Speaker 2: to it that in my work with God, I have
33:03
Speaker 2: come to learn him. So you can stand like the
33:11
Speaker 2: Samson said, the Lord is my light and my salvation.
33:14
Speaker 2: Of whom shall I be afraid of? It says, the
33:16
Speaker 2: Lord is the strength of my life. This is conviction.
33:20
Speaker 2: Conviction because there are many believers who have been discouraged.
33:24
Speaker 2: There are people post COVID, there are many believers who
33:27
Speaker 2: are trying to recover. I trusted God and yet this
33:31
Speaker 2: person died. I trusted God and disperson battled cancer. And
33:35
Speaker 2: you know, sometimes we just cover it up quietly in
33:38
Speaker 2: church and we say, well, God is faithful. But there
33:40
Speaker 2: are many believers about to leave the things of God
33:43
Speaker 2: because it does not make sense. The reason is because
33:46
Speaker 2: we have given a definition that only ends at obtaining things.
33:50
Speaker 2: I am bringing a dimension for you. Like Job said,
33:53
Speaker 2: do he slay me? Yet? Will I trust him? Listen?
33:59
Speaker 2: This is what gives stability to the believer's experience. So
34:03
Speaker 2: people who ask me and say why do you rejoice?
34:05
Speaker 2: No house yet, no care yet, And you tell them
34:09
Speaker 2: the things have not come. But there is a testimony
34:12
Speaker 2: of sechfulness through the storm. There is a testimony of
34:16
Speaker 2: singing in the midst of the storm. This one is
34:20
Speaker 2: called faith. Allelujah. Listen. Job had things, but Job did
34:27
Speaker 2: not have a testimony. And sat and told God, based
34:31
Speaker 2: on what we read in scripture, he said, He's only
34:34
Speaker 2: serving you because of things. And God said, you can't
34:37
Speaker 2: take the things. Let the man get the testimony, Let
34:40
Speaker 2: the man get the testimony. Let things go away, but
34:44
Speaker 2: let the testimony remain. And the wife of Job said,
34:48
Speaker 2: why do you still hold on to your integrity? Cost
34:51
Speaker 2: God and die? And Job said, all the days of
34:54
Speaker 2: my appointed time there were not things. His body was
34:58
Speaker 2: not healed, but the it was a testimony hear me.
35:07
Speaker 2: And then in Job chapter forty two and verse ten,
35:11
Speaker 2: the Bible says, and God restored things will always happen
35:18
Speaker 2: when the track record is established. Remember, I define for
35:24
Speaker 2: you a testimonial as a credential that is a concise
35:29
Speaker 2: capture of your integrity, your character, your trustworthiness. That is
35:34
Speaker 2: the basis for your being recommended. Can I tell you
35:39
Speaker 2: there are many of you. I have always read the
35:41
Speaker 2: story of Mary. Gabriel comes to Mary and say you
35:45
Speaker 2: are highly favored. I do not see our definition of
35:48
Speaker 2: favor happened for once in the life of Mary, because
35:52
Speaker 2: everything that surrounded her life after that announcement was controversy
35:56
Speaker 2: and trouble. So I don't understand, Gabriel. You came from
35:59
Speaker 2: the press of God and you tell a woman she's
36:02
Speaker 2: highly favored, and the next thing is one trouble after
36:06
Speaker 2: the other. You will be learning that for you to
36:12
Speaker 2: truly be a champion in the spirit, you must have
36:15
Speaker 2: both crowns and scars. Listen the difference between Jesus and
36:22
Speaker 2: the twenty four Elders. All of them have crowns, but
36:25
Speaker 2: only one has a scar on his hand. When you
36:34
Speaker 2: get to heaven and you are searching for those with crowns,
36:37
Speaker 2: Matthias have crowns, elders have crowns. Many have crowns, but
36:42
Speaker 2: search for the one whose car is a testimony of
36:45
Speaker 2: love that he had the option of calling ten thousand
36:49
Speaker 2: angels yet because of his love. So when the Bible
36:53
Speaker 2: says for God, soul of the world, it was not
36:56
Speaker 2: a statement, is a report card. My be love.
37:07
Speaker 3: It is the most beautiful, the.
37:13
Speaker 2: Most tales and thousands, my be the most moto. Go ahead,
37:34
Speaker 2: bless his name, your shoes uh tambou somebots be about
38:04
Speaker 2: Listen to me. There are times, Abraham, your faith is
38:10
Speaker 2: focused on giving back to Isaac, whereas God is focused
38:13
Speaker 2: on changing you from Abrahm to Abraham. The whole Johnny
38:18
Speaker 2: of faith of Abraham. He just wanted to see Isaac manifest.
38:23
Speaker 2: Yet God's interest was making him Abraham, not Abraham. Sarah
38:29
Speaker 2: to Sarah, Saul to Paul, see first to Peter. Every
38:37
Speaker 2: time God met man, his interest was them before their conditions.
38:45
Speaker 2: Because it transformed. You cannot remain in the same condition
38:49
Speaker 2: that met your old self. Do you believe what you're hearing?
38:54
Speaker 2: I'm teaching you authentic Bible faith that makes you a
38:58
Speaker 2: champion in this case them so you can love true storms.
39:09
Speaker 2: And when those who do not ask, they don't love God.
39:12
Speaker 2: They ask you questions. But you just lost your father.
39:16
Speaker 2: Why are you dancing and rejoicing? But it looked like you.
39:19
Speaker 2: I'm in your office, just packed up. Where is your God?
39:22
Speaker 2: The next time they ask you, tell them while things
39:25
Speaker 2: are on their way coming, there is a report and
39:28
Speaker 2: accreditation in the spirit. Who is God speaking to you? Now?
39:37
Speaker 2: I've given you an answer and an answer you have
39:39
Speaker 2: been desiring. What answer do I give men when they
39:43
Speaker 2: say where is your God? Tell them the problem is
39:45
Speaker 2: your understanding. Don't miss any session. I will be teaching
39:52
Speaker 2: you what we call results in the Kingdom, because you see,
39:57
Speaker 2: everything we call results in the Kingdom is with respect
40:01
Speaker 2: to the will of God beyond your desire. While going
40:04
Speaker 2: to examine the subject of results, are we together? So
40:11
Speaker 2: there are some of you while heaven is crapping for
40:14
Speaker 2: you already a champion is imagining the spirit. You are
40:17
Speaker 2: busy saying God, But the car has not called, And
40:20
Speaker 2: God says, you mean the five years training is just
40:23
Speaker 2: to give you a car. Oh come on, no, come on, hallelujah.
40:32
Speaker 2: You've forgotten the discipline of prayer that situation brought for you,
40:36
Speaker 2: that it was on account of it. I know the
40:39
Speaker 2: man eventually died, But how about the three I was
40:42
Speaker 2: prayer every night. Now that the person is gone, it
40:46
Speaker 2: has become inhabiting you. You can'tn't do it again. That
40:49
Speaker 2: is a track record in the spirit. How about your diligence,
40:53
Speaker 2: a heightened level of consecration you came into. Oh God,
40:57
Speaker 2: listen the reason. Most of you do not know why.
41:01
Speaker 2: Sometimes God keeps quiet regardless what you are going through.
41:04
Speaker 2: It's not that he's irresponsible. He has found your confusion
41:08
Speaker 2: as a healthy tool that leads you to his presence.
41:11
Speaker 2: He would prefer to leave you there until you get there.
41:14
Speaker 2: As he trains you. He will give you a higher perspective.
41:17
Speaker 2: And he's not afraid of time passing because he can restall.
41:21
Speaker 2: He's not afraid of things living because he can restall.
41:26
Speaker 2: Listen all through the time that Job went through his tragedy.
41:32
Speaker 2: God never spoke until chapter thirty eight. And when God
41:39
Speaker 2: shows up, you would think you would comfort Joe and said, Joe,
41:43
Speaker 2: by you understand, He said, who is this that d
41:45
Speaker 2: connect counsel without knowledge? Harma, that's so Priday for luck
41:54
Speaker 2: with Satagata SCARBERI shut my raptors frack and parosiac paractors
42:03
Speaker 2: can crash the recosia time. This is the frick to
42:07
Speaker 2: me that overcome or even I'm a fake Hamanakaparakatsiata. Are
42:13
Speaker 2: you taking a minute or two to absolve this reality
42:18
Speaker 2: as a name print upon your spirit? Shaag recatas Cora
42:27
Speaker 2: ra cat Tapa talks cock Allelujah. Listen to me. I
42:43
Speaker 2: hope you know that Jacob's frustration in the Bible Watch
42:48
Speaker 2: this now. In chapter twenty eight of Genesis, the Bible
42:52
Speaker 2: says Jacob came to a place called Laws, and he
42:56
Speaker 2: lay there to sleep. And then the Bible tells us
43:00
Speaker 2: watch this that he saw a ladder that went to
43:05
Speaker 2: the heavens and angels, ascending and descending. He was not
43:09
Speaker 2: transformed with that encounter, because all he was looking for
43:13
Speaker 2: was things. The next thing that will happen to Job's
43:17
Speaker 2: life was his tragedy in the house of Laban, and
43:20
Speaker 2: Laban began to manipulat him against the indices of things.
43:24
Speaker 2: But by the time we get to Genesis chapter thirty two,
43:27
Speaker 2: the Bible says for him to receive an encounter, he
43:30
Speaker 2: had to dismiss things, cows go away, wives go away.
43:35
Speaker 2: When he was alone, no things, God said, you are
43:40
Speaker 2: ready for a report now. And he came to him,
43:43
Speaker 2: and in all of that encounter there was nothing about things.
43:47
Speaker 2: He said, what is your name? Oh? It bless me? Oh?
43:53
Speaker 2: And God says, let me show you how we're blessing
43:55
Speaker 2: the kingdom. We give you credibility in the spirit. Hear me,
44:00
Speaker 2: Let me speak to a man of God here you
44:03
Speaker 2: ministream may not look like it is working. But there
44:06
Speaker 2: is credibility, what establishing in the spirit. This is what
44:10
Speaker 2: the Bible means when he says, Jesus, I know it,
44:13
Speaker 2: tall I know. They are not known in the spirit
44:17
Speaker 2: because they have They are known in the spirit because
44:20
Speaker 2: of what they have become. There is a registering in
44:23
Speaker 2: the spirit where the rankings of men are recorded. This
44:28
Speaker 2: is what translates to authority within the cosmos. You don't
44:31
Speaker 2: just tell people be healed just because you saw it
44:34
Speaker 2: in scripture. Believe me, you'll be disappointed. There is a
44:37
Speaker 2: level of stature that is establishing the spirit on account
44:42
Speaker 2: of your becoming. Let no man trouble me, he said,
44:45
Speaker 2: for I bur in my body. There is a record
44:48
Speaker 2: that I saved God in the midst of play. Take
44:57
Speaker 2: his half on me. It is God speaking to someone,
45:07
Speaker 2: for by it the elders optare. There are many elders
45:13
Speaker 2: that did not obtain anything in terms of promises. The
45:17
Speaker 2: Bible still asked them. There were others who were brought
45:20
Speaker 2: back to life, but there were others who refused. They
45:24
Speaker 2: rejected deliverance, and the Bible still called all of them elders.
45:29
Speaker 2: The one thing all of them had was faced. Then
45:33
Speaker 2: in verse thirty seven, it says time will fail me
45:36
Speaker 2: to talk of Gideon and Jeffta and Barack. It says,
45:41
Speaker 2: men who to fait some two kingdoms who are getting
45:44
Speaker 2: there shot the amounts of lions rod righteousness obtained promises,
45:53
Speaker 2: but then it does not stop there. Verse thirty four
45:56
Speaker 2: it says, quench the violence of fire escaped the edge
46:00
Speaker 2: of the sword. Out of weakness were made strong words
46:03
Speaker 2: failiant in fight turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
46:07
Speaker 2: Thirty five women who received their dead back to life,
46:11
Speaker 2: and others were torched on watch. This not accepting delivers
46:16
Speaker 2: that they might obtain. So they still obtain something. The
46:21
Speaker 2: Bible calls it a good report. Allelujah. Do you know
46:29
Speaker 2: how they are annoyncing how olive is made? You carry
46:33
Speaker 2: the olive and then in the squeezing and in that pressing,
46:38
Speaker 2: they will keep going around and pressing it. When you
46:44
Speaker 2: sympathize with the condition of the olive, oil will never come.
46:50
Speaker 2: There are many the human spirits never truly yields itself voluntrely. No,
46:57
Speaker 2: there are situations that compare you yours is to give
47:02
Speaker 2: God permission to have access to that making process. So
47:12
Speaker 2: while the devil is mocking you and saying your life
47:15
Speaker 2: is not rising, no job, no money. You have broken
47:19
Speaker 2: and your entire six hours prayer is full of a
47:23
Speaker 2: determination to force things to manifest. God, the same things
47:27
Speaker 2: will come. They will so come, but not to this
47:30
Speaker 2: version of you. You are the one I want to change.
47:36
Speaker 2: I will change you to a version that cars will
47:39
Speaker 2: not stop coming to. And that is when before you
47:42
Speaker 2: call you will answer. He will give the Heathen as
47:45
Speaker 2: an inheritance for you. Do you believe what I'm saying,
47:50
Speaker 2: Man of God, there is a version of you that
47:53
Speaker 2: members have been sent to come to. Not this version. No,
47:57
Speaker 2: not the weak and the lazy version, not the competitive
48:01
Speaker 2: and the jealous vershion the whole. So while you pray
48:04
Speaker 2: and say Lord, bring increase, he announ says, go for
48:07
Speaker 2: seven days. First thing. And at the end of it
48:09
Speaker 2: you are disappointed because you think in that instruction he
48:12
Speaker 2: will tell you the strategy for George growth. And you
48:15
Speaker 2: will never hear anything about George growth. Your disappointment because
48:20
Speaker 2: part of the raw materials for your making. Now you
48:24
Speaker 2: understand that the Bible says, for we know that all things,
48:29
Speaker 2: all with the mastery of a chef, God is able
48:34
Speaker 2: to make all things, your pain, your disappointment. They all
48:39
Speaker 2: become ingredients to produce something that is presented to the
48:43
Speaker 2: nations as a trophy. We call it glory, the glory
48:47
Speaker 2: of God in and through your life. Can I tell
48:50
Speaker 2: you show me any man in scripture, in modern history,
48:55
Speaker 2: and in the church should day who is a champion
48:58
Speaker 2: of faith? If the only thing you see is promises,
49:01
Speaker 2: run away, runnaway. When you listen to great men, you
49:08
Speaker 2: don't listen just about the promises. The promises are flashy,
49:13
Speaker 2: but the report is why the promises remain. Are we
49:18
Speaker 2: together if we answer, support you now to tell us
49:22
Speaker 2: the story of his journey of Dischurch and his journey
49:25
Speaker 2: with God. You are going to find many points in
49:28
Speaker 2: the history of Dischurch where certain promises. When the promises
49:31
Speaker 2: don't come, they are on their way. Sometimes they are
49:35
Speaker 2: not delayed by demons, they are delayed by the laxity
49:38
Speaker 2: in your transition. This is why it's important you manage
49:44
Speaker 2: your prayer about God destroying enemies, because maybe you will
49:49
Speaker 2: be learning in the course of this conference who an
49:52
Speaker 2: enemy of God is. An enemy of God is not
49:54
Speaker 2: someone you hate. No, an enemy of God is anyone
49:59
Speaker 2: who be comes a consistent interruption to the manifestation of
50:03
Speaker 2: his will, even if it is Jonah. The jealousy of
50:11
Speaker 2: God fights anything that takes his place and interrupts his purposes,
50:16
Speaker 2: even if it is something he gave. That is why,
50:19
Speaker 2: in the realm of the spirit, promises don't amount to much.
50:23
Speaker 2: Not that they are inconsequential, they are needed, but your
50:28
Speaker 2: track record, your testimonial in the spirit. My dear sister,
50:33
Speaker 2: please hear me. Whilst you are trusting God to give
50:37
Speaker 2: you a job in legos, whilst you are trusting God
50:40
Speaker 2: to manifest certain things, I want you to not disrespect
50:44
Speaker 2: the health in your prayer that has come as a
50:46
Speaker 2: result of that, the health in your word study life.
50:50
Speaker 2: Somebody told you, well, come, I will sleep with you
50:53
Speaker 2: and give you a job, and you refuse. And now
50:55
Speaker 2: you are feeling stupid for refusing, because there are many
50:59
Speaker 2: people who are called shots of things and they're saying
51:02
Speaker 2: what is there? And they're saying God, God after refusing.
51:06
Speaker 2: When when Joseph refused, there was the name of that
51:10
Speaker 2: woman forty first wife, you would expect God to just
51:14
Speaker 2: in taveain and reward him immediately. Do you know how
51:17
Speaker 2: many years he spent in the prison for refusing. That
51:21
Speaker 2: was his track record. You say the pattern. Now, there
52:15
Speaker 2: are many times believers think just because of standing for righteousness,
52:20
Speaker 2: certain promises manifest immediately. They will come, but you will
52:24
Speaker 2: celebrate they are coming when you change. That is when
52:28
Speaker 2: you see the beauty of the manifestation. Can I tell
52:31
Speaker 2: you there are many people's Christian lives today who have
52:34
Speaker 2: become defeated because promises were manifested to the wrong versions
52:38
Speaker 2: of them. The version that received the one billion was
52:44
Speaker 2: not a consecrated version. The version there are certain temptations
52:49
Speaker 2: who have no business going through if God grants you
52:52
Speaker 2: grace to change. So there are times who are saying, God,
52:55
Speaker 2: just give me this one billion, and God says it
52:58
Speaker 2: is in your destiny to have it. But you don't
53:01
Speaker 2: know the temptations that come into the realm of a
53:04
Speaker 2: one billion owner. You don't have the stamina to survive
53:09
Speaker 2: the attacks. Lord promotes me to this office, and it
53:14
Speaker 2: says it's in your journey. So you may go to
53:16
Speaker 2: the place of prayer and promotion is at your mind.
53:19
Speaker 2: It is not wrong, but you will find out that
53:21
Speaker 2: God's interest is not the promotion. And the more you
53:26
Speaker 2: yield to that becoming. The faster the promise is coming. Listen.
53:33
Speaker 2: For many years I studied why a lot of people
53:35
Speaker 2: who have balloon results. Today you are up, tomorrow you disappear.
53:39
Speaker 2: The reason is because most people do not understand the
53:42
Speaker 2: power of this heritage of a spiritual testimonial. I will sing.
53:53
Speaker 3: I will pray, even in my darkest through the soul
54:01
Speaker 3: and the pain, I will see.
54:07
Speaker 2: My word.
54:10
Speaker 3: I left my hands to honor you.
54:14
Speaker 2: Because your word is true.
54:16
Speaker 3: Listen, I leave my hands to hona you because your
54:22
Speaker 3: word is true. Sing it.
54:24
Speaker 2: I left my hands to wada.
54:28
Speaker 3: Because your word is true. I leave my hands to
54:33
Speaker 3: honor you because your word is true. I will sing.
54:41
Speaker 2: Can I tell you sit and because or tally frustrated
54:47
Speaker 2: of my life that values reports beyond things. Because the
54:54
Speaker 2: business of lost these things, the business of the ex
55:00
Speaker 2: selling of temptations over men, is their passion for things.
55:04
Speaker 2: James said, From whence comment this thing among you? Does
55:07
Speaker 2: it not come from the loss of your heart? He say, ye, desire,
55:11
Speaker 2: and you have not. When a man focuses on becoming,
55:16
Speaker 2: you have mastered the art of frustrating satan becoming because
55:22
Speaker 2: he knows that having it or not having it will
55:25
Speaker 2: not affect your prayer life. Having it or not having
55:29
Speaker 2: it will not affect your world life. Having it or
55:33
Speaker 2: not having it will not affect your coming to church.
55:36
Speaker 2: If the guy is not there, you will trek with
55:38
Speaker 2: honor and rejoice while you are on your way to church,
55:41
Speaker 2: and no body will know while you are celebrating the day.
55:44
Speaker 2: You give testimonies men who say, by your behavior there
55:48
Speaker 2: was nothing that showed that there was the ups and downs,
55:51
Speaker 2: And you will tell them it's because I have learned
55:53
Speaker 2: that the most superior divension to faith is my spiritual evolution.
55:59
Speaker 2: But can I tell you you for everyone who remained
56:03
Speaker 2: alife in scripture, who contended for a good report, eventually
56:09
Speaker 2: promises came without end. I like the way the Book
56:12
Speaker 2: of Job concludes, he says, And Joe God turned the
56:17
Speaker 2: captivity of job. Give us place. As I wrap up
56:20
Speaker 2: forty twe verse ten, And Joe God turned the captivity
56:26
Speaker 2: of job. When he prayed for his friends, he got
56:31
Speaker 2: to a point where he said, do you know what?
56:33
Speaker 2: I trust God. I'm no longer the issue. God, Just
56:37
Speaker 2: keep take responsibility over what you are doing. Let me
56:40
Speaker 2: focus on my friends because I want them to also
56:43
Speaker 2: have that transition that I'm having. Let me intercede for them.
56:47
Speaker 2: There was a dimension of God job only knew through
56:50
Speaker 2: the storms and through the pain, and the Bible says,
56:53
Speaker 2: let's finish it so that you will see that God
56:56
Speaker 2: is faithful. He does not scam people. He's not a
56:59
Speaker 2: fraud style. His word can be depended upon. It's just
57:03
Speaker 2: the dynamics of his operation that many people do not know.
57:07
Speaker 2: I said, rejoice not over me, my enemies. This is
57:11
Speaker 2: what gives believers the staying power, so that the day
57:15
Speaker 2: they call you, I said, the promotion has come, you say,
57:17
Speaker 2: all right, I'll respond to you. I'm in church walking
57:20
Speaker 2: And they say, where is your excitement? They say, no,
57:22
Speaker 2: I had it, since my growth is more important than that.
57:31
Speaker 2: Do you believe this. Let's finish that scripture. I have
57:39
Speaker 2: to wraple have about three minutes left. The Bible says, also,
57:43
Speaker 2: the Lord gave Joe twice as much as he had
57:49
Speaker 2: before twice Verse eleven. How did it come there came
57:56
Speaker 2: on to him all his brethren and all his sisters.
58:00
Speaker 2: Brethren and sisters. Where did they suddenly go to during
58:04
Speaker 2: the time of his traveil? And the Bible says all
58:09
Speaker 2: day who had been of his acquaintance before, And they
58:12
Speaker 2: did its bread and bemoan him and comforted him over
58:15
Speaker 2: all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him.
58:17
Speaker 2: I'm sure you have a better spiritual understanding to that expression,
58:20
Speaker 2: the Bible says. And every man watched this gave him
58:24
Speaker 2: a piece of money. So his money was already in
58:27
Speaker 2: the hands of men. The things you are praying for
58:30
Speaker 2: are not in heaven. Believe me, they are already in
58:34
Speaker 2: the hands of men, because the earth has it given
58:38
Speaker 2: to the sons of men, and the earth is still full.
58:41
Speaker 2: There are four elements of dominion, according to Pe twenty four.
58:45
Speaker 2: Number one is the earth. Number two is the fullness
58:48
Speaker 2: the resources there. Number three is the mindset that governs
58:52
Speaker 2: the cosmos. Number four are the inhabitants. When God wants
58:56
Speaker 2: to give a man true dominion, he connects you to
58:59
Speaker 2: our authority across these four areas, the earth, land, the
59:05
Speaker 2: resources that are in the earth. As for the earth,
59:08
Speaker 2: out of it comes bread, he says. The increase of
59:10
Speaker 2: the earth is for all that even the King is
59:12
Speaker 2: fed by that which comes from the field. You don't
59:18
Speaker 2: find money in heaven. You don't find all of that
59:21
Speaker 2: they all reside within the cosmos. Your promotion is here already. Listen.
59:26
Speaker 2: When the Bible says all things are yours, I want
59:29
Speaker 2: you to believe it. The delay in its arrival is
59:34
Speaker 2: not necessarily you're not understanding God. That's not the only reason,
59:38
Speaker 2: but the major reason for most believers is that God's
59:41
Speaker 2: interest is not just to give you things. You see,
59:44
Speaker 2: when you are really inclined in the realm of the spirit,
59:48
Speaker 2: you will see that things do not have so much value.
59:50
Speaker 2: Satan was willing to give everything to Jesus if you
59:55
Speaker 2: would just bow down. He showed him the glory of
1:00:00
Speaker 2: the world is that in your Bible and said, all
1:00:02
Speaker 2: these things have been given, All these things have been given.
1:00:07
Speaker 2: Just bow have a report that you've worshiped me. Since
1:00:11
Speaker 2: you are the express image of God. Let me have
1:00:16
Speaker 2: it that you are that week and you have acknowledged
1:00:18
Speaker 2: My superiority, and things can go. This is the system
1:00:22
Speaker 2: of negotiation. When Satan consul men, do you know how
1:00:25
Speaker 2: men lose their souls? The Bible says, what shallly profit
1:00:29
Speaker 2: a man if you would gain the whole world and
1:00:31
Speaker 2: lose your soul? The question is there is a relationship
1:00:34
Speaker 2: between gaining the cosmos and losing your soul. Gaining in
1:00:38
Speaker 2: the cosmos is transactional. It will always be at the
1:00:41
Speaker 2: expense of your soul. You can know a man who
1:00:44
Speaker 2: has been blessed by God because in prospers even as
1:00:48
Speaker 2: his soul prospers. This is the one thing you cannot
1:00:50
Speaker 2: have with Satan. The moment you prosper by Satan, the
1:00:56
Speaker 2: focus is on your getting things. That's what made men,
1:01:00
Speaker 2: makes men rich fools. You now understand the problem of
1:01:04
Speaker 2: the rich fool. He had things but no track record.
1:01:07
Speaker 2: He said, my soul find rest on things. And God said,
1:01:11
Speaker 2: this is a foolish man. So when God wants to
1:01:14
Speaker 2: work with you, the first thing is not to give
1:01:17
Speaker 2: you a candy house. Don't think that I hate cars
1:01:20
Speaker 2: and houses, so I hate poverty more than you. So
1:01:23
Speaker 2: don't think that I'm talking with some kind of no
1:01:27
Speaker 2: But I want to show you a more excellent way,
1:01:29
Speaker 2: because when you understand faith, there is a grace that
1:01:33
Speaker 2: gravity takes things to you. I want you to believe this.
1:01:36
Speaker 2: There was an anointing when Noah had and a track
1:01:40
Speaker 2: record with God. There was an anointing that came upon
1:01:43
Speaker 2: the act. All the animals without being called, they began
1:01:48
Speaker 2: to come by themselves. This is the reason why the
1:01:54
Speaker 2: lives of many people look mysterious. From nowhere, someone who
1:01:58
Speaker 2: stand up and hold your hand and in ministry and
1:02:01
Speaker 2: self will help you, and I will support you. And
1:02:03
Speaker 2: you are wondering where is this coming from. It is
1:02:07
Speaker 2: because once there is that track record in the spirit,
1:02:10
Speaker 2: then you will understand the dynamics. So all that we
1:02:14
Speaker 2: have learned, as far as obtaining promises are concern, they
1:02:18
Speaker 2: are valid and powerful and true, consistent with the operation
1:02:21
Speaker 2: of the kingdom. But I'm showing you are not a
1:02:24
Speaker 2: layer to it, not a replacement, but an addition, a
1:02:29
Speaker 2: more superior addition that in the economy of God, before
1:02:34
Speaker 2: we now deal with the matters of confession and the rest,
1:02:38
Speaker 2: I will teach you all those dimensions in addition to
1:02:41
Speaker 2: all that you have learned, but that at the back
1:02:43
Speaker 2: of all you're manifesting what you call faith. There is
1:02:46
Speaker 2: a set to understanding that it is not the result
1:02:50
Speaker 2: that controls my knowledge of God's faithfulness. No, can we
1:02:55
Speaker 2: pray please rise. I will hold on through the storm,
1:03:05
Speaker 2: and I will hold on to your word.
1:03:11
Speaker 3: My life will soon reveale You're the letter of Man
1:03:19
Speaker 3: the lit.
1:03:21
Speaker 2: In one minute, my time is over. I want you
1:03:23
Speaker 2: to pray and say, Lord, I contend for a testimony
1:03:27
Speaker 2: in the spirit, a testimony of my love for you,
1:03:32
Speaker 2: a testimony of my honor for you. Regardless what happens
1:03:36
Speaker 2: around my life, I believe you for the best as
1:03:40
Speaker 2: to claim by your work. You are not a man
1:03:42
Speaker 2: that you should lie, not the son of man that
1:03:45
Speaker 2: you should repect. But I add to my fake experience
1:03:49
Speaker 2: today the other side of faith, beauty, testimonial, Send the
1:03:54
Speaker 2: spirit that I love you. Four
