Speaker 1: This sermon was downloaded from ww dot. Spirit nerds dot

Speaker 1: org will equipt Christians with thousands of strategic spiritual materials daily.
0:13
Speaker 1: Join millions of Christians around the world who have come
0:16
Speaker 1: to spirit Nerds to learn about God and his word.
0:20
Speaker 2: Today, for Jesus' much less name, we have prayed. Ask
0:28
Speaker 2: him for an encounter by his spirit. Give me a
0:32
Speaker 2: definite encounter. Go ahead and pray. Now. The Lord is
0:36
Speaker 2: that spirit, the Bible says. And where the spirit of
0:40
Speaker 2: the Lord is, there is liberty. Who shall ascend to
0:47
Speaker 2: the heel of the Lord, and who shall stand in
0:49
Speaker 2: his holy place. He that has clean hands and a
0:54
Speaker 2: pure heart, who has not lived out of his soul
0:57
Speaker 2: onto vanity or swung this city will, Bible says, shall
1:02
Speaker 2: receive a blessing from the Lord, righteousness, from the God
1:05
Speaker 2: of his salvation. This is the generation of them that
1:10
Speaker 2: see me, that seek thy faith, Oh Jacob, Allelujah, Praise
1:22
Speaker 2: the name of the Lord, the Bible says, Call on
1:25
Speaker 2: to me, and I will answer. I will show you,
1:29
Speaker 2: not just tell you. I will show you great and
1:34
Speaker 2: mighty things which thou knowest not Allelujah. There is a
1:41
Speaker 2: realm of knowledge that starts by admitting your limitation. When
1:45
Speaker 2: you admit that you are limited as far as actending,
1:49
Speaker 2: that dimension is concerned. That awareness sponsors your motivation to
1:56
Speaker 2: call Lord, help me. I know, but not enough help me.
2:01
Speaker 2: I see, but not enough. We see in part first
2:05
Speaker 2: Corinthians eight and US two. And if any man think
2:09
Speaker 2: that he knowed anything, he knowed nothing yet as he
2:14
Speaker 2: ought to know. There is a benchmark in the spirit
2:18
Speaker 2: that translates to every result desired. There is a light
2:23
Speaker 2: requirement is fixed and non negotiable. Just because you have
2:28
Speaker 2: light does not mean you have light enough to be
2:31
Speaker 2: able to translate those spiritual realities into your experience. Someone
2:36
Speaker 2: cry for light tonight. My heart is open, my spirit
2:41
Speaker 2: is prepared to access superior light. That was the true
2:45
Speaker 2: light which lighted every man. That was the true light.
2:52
Speaker 2: Someone praying alikaparros cartdgeverleat from heaven, light from heaven, coming
3:04
Speaker 2: with glory, Light from heaven, bringing understanding light from heaven,
3:11
Speaker 2: allowing for abscendence in the spirit lights. Even among the stars,
3:19
Speaker 2: he said, one deferred from another in glory, in glory,
3:26
Speaker 2: maybe not in size, but in glory that among the stars,
3:31
Speaker 2: one deferred from another in glory all Louia praised the
3:41
Speaker 2: name of the Lord. I just felt starred in my
3:57
Speaker 2: spirit before coming. While I was praised preparing for this meeting,
4:02
Speaker 2: I started sensing a very strong manifestation of the healing anointing.
4:07
Speaker 2: And I know that the miracle services next week. Yes,
4:12
Speaker 2: but you see, the thing about the path of the
4:15
Speaker 2: Spirit is that the Bible says the Holy Spirit has
4:18
Speaker 2: a unique ability to such the mind of the Father.
4:23
Speaker 2: No man knows what is in the spirit of man.
4:26
Speaker 2: The heart of man saved the spirit of that man.
4:29
Speaker 2: The Holy Spirit has unrestrained access into the heart of
4:33
Speaker 2: the Father, and he is able to draw out that
4:37
Speaker 2: which is consistent with his will. The entire economy of
4:41
Speaker 2: the Kingdom revolves around the will of God, so at
4:46
Speaker 2: every given point, Allelujah, the Kingdom operates with respect to
4:52
Speaker 2: that which God desires, part time and per season. Any
4:57
Speaker 2: action that is outside the will of God at any
4:59
Speaker 2: given time, even if it is good, is time rebellion.
5:03
Speaker 2: Rebellion is not necessarily evil. Rebellion is any activity that
5:09
Speaker 2: is not sponsored and motivated, whose goal and intent is
5:14
Speaker 2: not actualizing the will of God. A very good project
5:18
Speaker 2: can be rebellion when it is brought within the lens
5:22
Speaker 2: of the will of God. So it is important to
5:24
Speaker 2: be organized, but it is also important to be discerning.
5:29
Speaker 2: It says, I will stand upon my watch, and I
5:31
Speaker 2: will set myself upon the tower that I will see
5:35
Speaker 2: what He will say unto me. Allelujah. Let me just
5:38
Speaker 2: speak a word over those who are trusting God for healing.
5:43
Speaker 2: I've explained to you the necessity of the healing ministry.
5:47
Speaker 2: The healing annointing is a unique engraceing of God to
5:52
Speaker 2: the body, because, according to the dealings of God with
5:56
Speaker 2: Man as revealed inscription, every man is only even the
6:00
Speaker 2: privilege of one body per lifetime. Please listen, you are
6:04
Speaker 2: only given the privilege of your spirit being hosted in
6:09
Speaker 2: one body. And what you call lifetime is the moment
6:13
Speaker 2: from birth until the day you are done with your
6:16
Speaker 2: assignment and you transit in glory, or until the day
6:20
Speaker 2: your body deteriorates to the extent to which it no
6:25
Speaker 2: longer can host your spirit. There is a health requirement
6:29
Speaker 2: for your spirit to remain in your body, and when
6:32
Speaker 2: your body is deteriorated beyond a certain threshold, it was
6:37
Speaker 2: designed in the dealings of God that the spirit will
6:40
Speaker 2: have to leave, Allelujah. So every time the devil plagues
6:44
Speaker 2: you with sickness, it is a measure of death attempting
6:48
Speaker 2: to be administered to your body. The assignment of the
6:52
Speaker 2: healing anointing is to bring your body back to the
6:55
Speaker 2: will of God and to help sponsor longevity a body.
7:00
Speaker 2: Hast thou prepared for me? Allelujah. When you understand this,
7:06
Speaker 2: your heart to be open to receive the healing power
7:09
Speaker 2: of Jesus. Please lay your hands, whether for you or
7:12
Speaker 2: for your loved ones, even if it is for one
7:15
Speaker 2: person less or not, this instruction, and then will go
7:18
Speaker 2: to the teaching of tonight. I believe, I believe Lord,
7:29
Speaker 2: I believe Lord. I believe such great annointing. I believe.
7:40
Speaker 2: I believe Lord. I believe Lord. I review that spirit
7:51
Speaker 2: of infamiity right now. I command every devil that has
7:57
Speaker 2: found is way into the bodies of God's pop I
8:01
Speaker 2: conditions blood, conditions in the name of Jesus, the Son
8:07
Speaker 2: of the Living God. I stretched my hands by faith
8:11
Speaker 2: from nation to nation, region to region, which bring you
8:16
Speaker 2: life even by the spirit, be healed right now in
8:19
Speaker 2: the name of Jesus. Be healed right now, in the
8:24
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, from the crown of your head to
8:28
Speaker 2: the souls of your feet. Can sa be healed? Now?
8:33
Speaker 2: My grains be healed. Now, I conditions be healed. Now,
8:45
Speaker 2: blood conditions be healed. Now have tick alsa be healed. Now,
8:52
Speaker 2: Both conditions be healed. Now turning out diseases of all
8:58
Speaker 2: sorts in the name of Jesus, be healed now. And
9:03
Speaker 2: we pray for those who are lying down upon the
9:06
Speaker 2: blood the bed of affliction. Made the same power that
9:09
Speaker 2: raised Christ from the dead, translated him from Hades, and
9:13
Speaker 2: brought him back to the earth. I declare that same
9:16
Speaker 2: power will take you from the bed of affliction and
9:20
Speaker 2: keep you standing on your feet now, in the name
9:24
Speaker 2: of Jesus Christ, and everyone who came here with any
9:31
Speaker 2: kind of discomfort, by whatever name it is called and identified,
9:36
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus, I speak to you the
9:40
Speaker 2: resurrected cheek, the one who has risen the resurrection and
9:44
Speaker 2: the life. He ministers. Life to your body. Now weakening
9:50
Speaker 2: to your body now brand new organs by the spirit,
9:56
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus Christ. Thank you, Father, for
10:02
Speaker 2: in Jesus' mighty and much less name we have prayed.
10:07
Speaker 2: Please be sited good evening, God bless you. You're welcome
10:10
Speaker 2: to church. This is the house of God, and it
10:17
Speaker 2: is always a profound honor to serve God's people with
10:22
Speaker 2: the truth of His word. Because I've always said that
10:28
Speaker 2: the Church is a very potent force as far as
10:32
Speaker 2: societal transformation is concerned. Allelujah. The Church has a unique
10:39
Speaker 2: convergence of people that represent all walks of life. Allelujah.
10:46
Speaker 2: The legal practitioner has no business administering medical solutions to
10:51
Speaker 2: a sick patient because they are confined. They are limited
10:55
Speaker 2: to the judiciary. A doctor has no busines business standing
11:02
Speaker 2: to do a judicial work, for instance. So all other
11:07
Speaker 2: fields are limited, and they are mandated by the laws
11:10
Speaker 2: that govern their profession to remain and restrict themselves within
11:14
Speaker 2: the jurisdiction of their practice. But the Church and the
11:19
Speaker 2: ministry of the world as we know, has a unique
11:22
Speaker 2: ability to serve people from all walks of life, and
11:26
Speaker 2: this is very important. It then means that any society
11:32
Speaker 2: at any given time is largely a product of the
11:36
Speaker 2: orientation that comes, especially from the Church among many other
11:42
Speaker 2: religious institutions, because many people will make decisions and those
11:47
Speaker 2: decisions come from the orientation that they have received in church.
11:53
Speaker 2: It is the reason why the ministry of the world
11:55
Speaker 2: must be taken with every sense of seriousness and responsibility,
12:00
Speaker 2: because sometimes destiny defining decisions will come as a result
12:07
Speaker 2: of the truths or otherwise that you are serving God's people,
12:11
Speaker 2: And if that which you call light is not true light,
12:15
Speaker 2: the decisions, hence the consequences that come from those decisions,
12:19
Speaker 2: will be a reflection of the limitation of the man
12:22
Speaker 2: of God. So the Bible mandates that we study to
12:27
Speaker 2: show ourselves approved onto God work men that need not
12:32
Speaker 2: to be ashamed even as we rightly divide the world.
12:35
Speaker 2: It is the reason why God has coordinated all grace
12:40
Speaker 2: that is required for our sufficiency, so that when we
12:44
Speaker 2: stand to serve God's people, both those who are here
12:47
Speaker 2: online and the many across the nations of the earth,
12:51
Speaker 2: that even though we are trapped in human frail vessels,
12:56
Speaker 2: but that there is the activity of the Holy Spirit
12:59
Speaker 2: that help us to be to serve the truths of
13:03
Speaker 2: the Kingdom with accuracy and with confidence. Alleluyah. This is
13:10
Speaker 2: very important. I take my job as a man of
13:14
Speaker 2: God very seriously because I understand not only am I
13:18
Speaker 2: accountable on to God, but when God gives you the
13:22
Speaker 2: gift of influence. Influence, I told you, is a very
13:26
Speaker 2: delicate product. With it you can destroy, and with it
13:31
Speaker 2: you can build. Alleluyah. Yes, So when people become obedient
13:38
Speaker 2: to the faith and loyal to that which God communicates
13:42
Speaker 2: through you, you must ensure that you are serving the
13:45
Speaker 2: people truths, indeed, life applicable, destiny changing truths. Alleluyah. And
13:53
Speaker 2: I can assure you by God that there is no
13:56
Speaker 2: wiki will come here and then leave with your time
14:00
Speaker 2: I've been wasted. Allelujah. That every time you come here,
14:04
Speaker 2: you can be sure that you will be served the
14:07
Speaker 2: truth of God's word with power, with grace. You will
14:10
Speaker 2: live wiser, you will live more and graced more. Strategically
14:15
Speaker 2: positioned to number one, live an effective spiritual life. And
14:20
Speaker 2: then that it translates to every aspect of your life.
14:23
Speaker 2: You believe that. Shout aloud Amen Alleluiah. Tonight I want
14:29
Speaker 2: you to lend me your attention, lend me your dedicated
14:32
Speaker 2: focus as we teach. There are times that Jesus would say, verily, verily,
14:38
Speaker 2: I say unto you. There are other times he will say,
14:40
Speaker 2: haken unto me. He would demand their attention because of
14:45
Speaker 2: the preciousness of what he wants to say. Allelujah. When
14:50
Speaker 2: it has to do with the ministry of the world,
14:52
Speaker 2: you can be Mary or you can be Mather. Marther
14:55
Speaker 2: was worried about so many things, and Mary sat at
14:58
Speaker 2: the feet of Jesus. I said, Ma, Mater, you are
15:01
Speaker 2: worried and you are angry about you know. Mary's not
15:08
Speaker 2: standing up to come and help you. He says, but
15:11
Speaker 2: one thing is needful, and that Mary has chosen to
15:15
Speaker 2: sit at the Master's feet. Allelujah. You need to learn
15:19
Speaker 2: to sit at his feet and give your destiny dedicated
15:23
Speaker 2: focus when it has to do with the ministry of
15:27
Speaker 2: the world. In the name of Jesus, the Son of
15:30
Speaker 2: the Living God, knowing God accurately, Please write it down,
15:35
Speaker 2: knowing God accurately. Tonight I want to show us prophetically
15:43
Speaker 2: the biblical road map to knowing God and attaining stature
15:50
Speaker 2: and power and grace in the spirit. Allelujah. There is
15:55
Speaker 2: a way God designed himself to be known as far
15:58
Speaker 2: as the world of men is concern, and it is
16:01
Speaker 2: important for us to know how God prescribed that He's
16:05
Speaker 2: explored and known, so that we're not in confusion learning
16:09
Speaker 2: God in very wrong ways. And then arriving at many
16:13
Speaker 2: erroneous conclusions about God, and that will be to the
16:17
Speaker 2: detriment of our Christian experience. Allelujah. Are we together now?
16:25
Speaker 2: Generally speaking, the Bible lets us know that when it
16:28
Speaker 2: has to do with reigning in life, reigning upon the earth,
16:33
Speaker 2: the Bible says that the requirement is number one, that
16:37
Speaker 2: you must become a graceful recipient of the gift of righteousness,
16:44
Speaker 2: and then number two, abundance of grace. The Bible says
16:48
Speaker 2: that they who have received the abundance of grace and
16:52
Speaker 2: the gift of righteousness, he leaves them with an assurance
16:56
Speaker 2: that they are the kinds of believers who will reign
16:59
Speaker 2: in life life abundance of grace and then the gift
17:04
Speaker 2: of righteousness Romans five, p. Seventeen that if by one
17:07
Speaker 2: month's of friends death reigned by one much more day
17:10
Speaker 2: which receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness,
17:16
Speaker 2: the gift of righteousness only comes through Jesus Christ believing
17:21
Speaker 2: in a substitutionary sacrifice. Allelujah. And then the Bible says
17:26
Speaker 2: that when it has to do with dominion upon the earth,
17:29
Speaker 2: you do not just need grace. You need abundance of grace.
17:35
Speaker 2: It's important that you have that at the back of
17:37
Speaker 2: your mind. And then, of course you know that the
17:41
Speaker 2: Bible says grace and peace. The same grace that the
17:45
Speaker 2: Bible says we need a lavish proportion of It says
17:48
Speaker 2: grace and peace is multiplied through knowledge. Allelujah. So there
17:54
Speaker 2: is a connection between the abundance of grace and the
17:59
Speaker 2: abundance of knowledge that grace and peace. Second bitter one
18:03
Speaker 2: from verse two is multiplied through knowledge. Everybody is a knowledge,
18:09
Speaker 2: in this case the knowledge of God and of our
18:12
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus Christ. Please take notes the knowledge of God.
18:17
Speaker 2: There are many things that do not minister grace, even
18:21
Speaker 2: though they are knowledge. There is an exact body of
18:24
Speaker 2: truth that translates to grace. The Bible says grace and peace.
18:28
Speaker 2: Please keep that. Scripture is not just multiplied through the
18:32
Speaker 2: knowledge of many good things. It has to be the
18:35
Speaker 2: knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ. Allelujah.
18:41
Speaker 2: So there are many kinds of knowledge that are not
18:43
Speaker 2: necessarily a waste, but when it has to do with
18:46
Speaker 2: accessing grace as design in this kingdom, it is the
18:51
Speaker 2: knowledge of God and of our Lord Jesus Christ. That
18:54
Speaker 2: means the more you know God and his son Jesus Christ,
18:58
Speaker 2: the more, indeed and in experience, you will access grace. Allelujah.
19:04
Speaker 2: This is very important. John seventeen and verse three. The
19:09
Speaker 2: Bible says, and this is eternal life. Jesus is praying
19:13
Speaker 2: that they may know thee the only True God, and Jesus,
19:18
Speaker 2: whom thou hast said. The experience of eternal life, the
19:22
Speaker 2: activation of the full potential of that which is captured
19:26
Speaker 2: in the Zoway life, is dependent on the knowledge of
19:30
Speaker 2: the True God and Jesus, whom he has said. This
19:34
Speaker 2: is very important in this kingdom. Knowledge is essential as
19:39
Speaker 2: far as working in dominion and working in victories concern.
19:44
Speaker 2: No matter how well intention you are, if and when
19:48
Speaker 2: you decide to dwell in ignorance, there is no hope
19:52
Speaker 2: for working in the reality of the life of God. Allelujah.
19:58
Speaker 2: It's important for us and this now Matthew Chapter sixteen,
20:02
Speaker 2: let's begin with a very interesting discussion between Jesus and
20:08
Speaker 2: the disciples. From verse thirteen. It wasn't unusual for Jesus
20:13
Speaker 2: to probe the disciples understanding by asking them questions, and
20:17
Speaker 2: he would lead them to just argue among themselves and
20:19
Speaker 2: then eventually he would clarify. This was one of such moments.
20:23
Speaker 2: When Jesus came to the coast of Caesarea Philippi. The
20:27
Speaker 2: Bible says he asked the disciples, saying, who do men
20:31
Speaker 2: say that I the Son of Man Am? Allelujah? Isn't
20:36
Speaker 2: it interesting? You would think he already answered his question
20:40
Speaker 2: because he called himself the son of Man. You would
20:42
Speaker 2: think that was the answer. Who do men say that
20:46
Speaker 2: I the son of Man Am? That means he was
20:48
Speaker 2: looking for something else. There was something he wanted them
20:51
Speaker 2: to understand. Verse fourteen. The Bible says, they said, some
20:57
Speaker 2: say you are John the Baptist m some say you
21:02
Speaker 2: are Elias Elijah now, and others say you are Jeremiah.
21:06
Speaker 2: And some are even confused. They don't know. They just
21:08
Speaker 2: said you are one of the prophets. So Jesus is
21:12
Speaker 2: asking a question here, who do men say that I am?
21:16
Speaker 2: In other words, I want to buy from the perspective
21:19
Speaker 2: of society, what do they think of me when they
21:22
Speaker 2: see me walk miracles, when they seem multiply bread, when
21:26
Speaker 2: they see me teach and communicate doctrine with power? What
21:29
Speaker 2: is their conclusion about my person. And the disciples said,
21:32
Speaker 2: this is a very good question, because we've also been
21:35
Speaker 2: asking some say you are John the Baptist, because at
21:38
Speaker 2: that time John had been beheaded. Are we together now?
21:41
Speaker 2: So probably they think you are incarnate. Maybe you came again,
21:45
Speaker 2: you know, and so on and so for others, you know,
21:48
Speaker 2: because they know again that there is a spiritual protocol.
21:51
Speaker 2: They have been taught that men can come in the
21:54
Speaker 2: spirit and power of certain graces and certain mantles, and
21:58
Speaker 2: they believe that you are one of those. It and
22:01
Speaker 2: others believe you are Jeremiah and Jesus now said, okay,
22:05
Speaker 2: you've worked with me, you have enjoyed the privilege of intimacy.
22:09
Speaker 2: You are closer to me than those who are Afar,
22:12
Speaker 2: it says, But whom say ye that I am very
22:17
Speaker 2: important question. We're stopping at fifteen. But who say ye?
22:21
Speaker 2: In other words, I'm interested in you show me the
22:24
Speaker 2: advantage that your intimacy with me has done, as far
22:27
Speaker 2: as redefining my person to you. Now you have an
22:31
Speaker 2: advantage that they do not have. They are speaking as
22:33
Speaker 2: people who are from Afar, So we can permit and
22:37
Speaker 2: forgive them because they are speaking from the lens of
22:40
Speaker 2: your ignorance, alongside the thistalancing relationship. But now you have
22:46
Speaker 2: had the privilege to be mentored directly by me. What
22:49
Speaker 2: is your conclusion in light of the advantage of intimacy.
22:54
Speaker 2: And the disciples were surprised that even though they enjoyed
22:58
Speaker 2: access and they enjoy intimacy, the truth is that they
23:02
Speaker 2: did not know him. The same experience of those from
23:06
Speaker 2: Afar was their experience, even though they were close, and
23:10
Speaker 2: it was only Peter speaking by the spirit. He never
23:13
Speaker 2: said we know. He said, I know whom thou art
23:17
Speaker 2: thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God. He
23:20
Speaker 2: never called him Jesus. You see, so he was speaking
23:25
Speaker 2: not in the flesh, because he was never called Jesus
23:29
Speaker 2: until the world became flesh. Are we together now, Yes,
23:34
Speaker 2: he never called him Jesus, thou art Christ, the Son
23:38
Speaker 2: of the Living God. And he said verse seventeen, he said,
23:43
Speaker 2: blessed at thou Simon, son of Jonah, for flesh and blood.
23:48
Speaker 2: That means this revelation does not reside within the realm
23:51
Speaker 2: of flesh and blood, but my father. And then he continues,
23:56
Speaker 2: now he mentions the word church. I just wanted you
23:58
Speaker 2: to understand that it is very important that in the
24:03
Speaker 2: believer's journey to growth, to stature and living out the
24:07
Speaker 2: fullness of your prophetic destiny, when it has to do
24:10
Speaker 2: with the subject of knowledge, you must be guided. No
24:14
Speaker 2: one that Jesus, speaking about the Holy Spirit said in
24:18
Speaker 2: John sixteen, give us verse eight please, or verse thirteen.
24:23
Speaker 2: Let's just go to verse thirteen for sake of time.
24:26
Speaker 2: How do it? In fact, verse twelve says I have
24:28
Speaker 2: many things to tell you. Jesus is speaking, but ye
24:32
Speaker 2: cannot bear them. Now do you know what that means?
24:34
Speaker 2: The spiritual equipping that will make my word spirit and
24:37
Speaker 2: life to you? You do not yet have it away together. Yes,
24:41
Speaker 2: I have stretched your ability to receive. Without the assistance
24:46
Speaker 2: of the Holy Spirit. I cannot go further. If you
24:48
Speaker 2: must understand anything from this point there is the activity
24:52
Speaker 2: of regeneration and the infeeling of the spirit that must happen.
24:57
Speaker 2: The other things I have taught you is what Paul
24:59
Speaker 2: brought in the Paulin Epistle. There was no way they
25:02
Speaker 2: would have understood the dynamics of redemption and how to
25:05
Speaker 2: live the victorious life in that state. They had to
25:09
Speaker 2: be translated and God raised Paul to be a continuation
25:13
Speaker 2: of those things that Jesus told them. You cannot bear
25:15
Speaker 2: them now, the teachings of Paul. Even for Peter and
25:19
Speaker 2: the disciples, those mentored by Jesus, they acknowledge that these
25:23
Speaker 2: sayings were had. So it would have sounded like nonsense
25:26
Speaker 2: if Jesus tried to say it. Are we together now? Yes?
25:31
Speaker 2: But knowledge is very important in this kingdom. Now I
25:34
Speaker 2: have taught you, and I want you to please listen.
25:36
Speaker 2: I repeat myself many times for the sake of emphasis.
25:40
Speaker 2: There are six dimensions of knowledge. The believer must pursue
25:46
Speaker 2: six dimensions of spiritual knowledge if you want to understand
25:51
Speaker 2: the scope of not just knowing God. There are many
25:55
Speaker 2: kinds of knowledge that are useful. Some are supportive knowledge.
25:59
Speaker 2: Please listen before you write. There are two levels of knowledge,
26:03
Speaker 2: generally for the believer. There is what we call foundational knowledge,
26:08
Speaker 2: and there is what we call supportive knowledge. Supportive knowledge
26:11
Speaker 2: means when the foundation is there, they come as an
26:15
Speaker 2: added advantage to sponsor your stability. Are we together? If
26:19
Speaker 2: you do not have a foundational knowledge, no matter what
26:22
Speaker 2: you get as supportive knowledge, your Christian experience will be lopsided.
26:27
Speaker 2: Let me give you six of them very quickly. Number one.
26:31
Speaker 2: According to scripture, especially the Palling Epistle, we are taught
26:36
Speaker 2: that these six foundational. I'm not just talking of doctrine
26:39
Speaker 2: like he will six. No, No, I'm not talking of
26:42
Speaker 2: foundational doctrine. I'm talking that in your pursuit of knowledge.
26:46
Speaker 2: That means if you see a believer now who is
26:48
Speaker 2: saved and tells you that I want I want to
26:52
Speaker 2: act to contend for spiritual knowledge. If you want to
26:55
Speaker 2: guide that person, at first you restrict that person's pursuing
27:00
Speaker 2: knowledge to these six dimensions. Are you ready? Number one
27:03
Speaker 2: that you must know God and Jesus his Son. This,
27:09
Speaker 2: according to the Polling Epistle, is the correct protocol for
27:14
Speaker 2: approaching spiritual knowledge. You must know God and then Jesus
27:19
Speaker 2: his Son. Proverabs Chapter nine and verse ten. Please write it.
27:23
Speaker 2: We're working this. There's so much to cover. The fear
27:26
Speaker 2: of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the
27:30
Speaker 2: knowledge of the Holy is understanding. That means at the
27:34
Speaker 2: point where you begin to pursue the knowledge of God,
27:37
Speaker 2: you are truly having spiritual understanding. Allelujah. This is very
27:43
Speaker 2: very important. In first bitter chapter, in a nearly eleven
27:49
Speaker 2: thirty two Popular scripture. The bee Pad says, but the
27:52
Speaker 2: people that do know their God, they shall be strong,
27:56
Speaker 2: and they shall do exploits. There is an advantage to
27:59
Speaker 2: know God. I like Ephesians one fifteen to nineteen. This
28:03
Speaker 2: is polygain. This our polygain mentoring the church in episodes.
28:08
Speaker 2: Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in
28:11
Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus Christ, and love on to all saints
28:15
Speaker 2: verse sixteen reading to nineteen, cease not to give thanks
28:18
Speaker 2: for you, making mention of you in my prayer seventeen,
28:21
Speaker 2: that the God of our Lord, Jesus Christ, the Father
28:24
Speaker 2: of Glory, may give unto you. Watch this now the
28:28
Speaker 2: spirit of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the
28:33
Speaker 2: knowledge of Him, not the knowledge of it, the knowledge
28:37
Speaker 2: of Him the eyes of your understanding. Verse eighteen says,
28:41
Speaker 2: being enlightened, that you may know what is the hope
28:45
Speaker 2: of his calling, and what is the riches of the
28:48
Speaker 2: glory of his inheritance and the saints, And what is
28:51
Speaker 2: the exceeding greatness of His power to us word who
28:55
Speaker 2: believe according to the working of His mighty powers. So
29:01
Speaker 2: six dimensions of knowledge. When you want to pursue genuine
29:05
Speaker 2: spiritual growth and maturity, you must know God and Jesus
29:09
Speaker 2: Christ is. On number two, you must know yourself in
29:14
Speaker 2: light of who Christ is. You must know yourself in
29:19
Speaker 2: light of who Christ is. Psalm forty nine and twenty
29:24
Speaker 2: very powerful scripture. The Bible says, man that is in
29:27
Speaker 2: honor and understand that not is like a beast that
29:32
Speaker 2: perish it. Allelujah. Second only to knowing God. It is
29:38
Speaker 2: important that in pursuing growth and maturity, as revealed by scripture,
29:44
Speaker 2: you must know yourself in light of who God is. Allelujah.
29:51
Speaker 2: In first few, chapter two and verse nine, very powerful scripture.
29:55
Speaker 2: It tells us that we are a chosen generation, a
29:58
Speaker 2: royal priesthoodent holy names, a peculiar people that we should
30:02
Speaker 2: show forth the praises of Him that has called us
30:05
Speaker 2: out of darkness and into his marvelous light. Allelujah. When
30:12
Speaker 2: you read efficient chapter two, from use one to six,
30:15
Speaker 2: just rite for sake of for sake of time. Paul
30:19
Speaker 2: took out time there to begin to give us a
30:22
Speaker 2: very theological background as to the implication I have taught
30:27
Speaker 2: you here that from a theological standpoint, every time you
30:31
Speaker 2: discuss man with respect to what Christ has done. There
30:35
Speaker 2: are only two things that become the basis of your discussion.
30:38
Speaker 2: Number one is our oneness with Christ, the implication of
30:42
Speaker 2: our oneness, and number two, our positional advantage. Are we
30:47
Speaker 2: together now on account of the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ,
30:52
Speaker 2: man has been brought into oneness. The Bible says he
30:56
Speaker 2: that is joined to Christ is one spirit. And Paul
31:00
Speaker 2: helped us to understand our positional advantage that that work
31:04
Speaker 2: together or together with Christ is a very profound prophetic
31:09
Speaker 2: description of the believer's position now in light of what
31:14
Speaker 2: has happened. So you need to know who you are
31:17
Speaker 2: in light of who Christ is. Number three, you need
31:23
Speaker 2: to know your place in destiny and in God's prophetic program.
31:27
Speaker 2: I have taught you this. It's very important. You need
31:32
Speaker 2: to know your place. Your relevance is in your ability
31:36
Speaker 2: to keep and maintain your position. The provisions that are
31:40
Speaker 2: accorded your life are with respect to knowing your place.
31:44
Speaker 2: It's very important you must know your place in God's program.
31:48
Speaker 2: You must know your place in destiny. Look for sixteen
31:52
Speaker 2: and seventeen Jesus in the temple reading the messianic prophecy
31:57
Speaker 2: that was about him the Bible, says he found way
32:00
Speaker 2: it was written concerning him. And then at the end
32:03
Speaker 2: of that rendition he said, today, is this scripture fulfilled
32:08
Speaker 2: in your ears? Hebrews ten and seven says low, I
32:13
Speaker 2: come in the volume of the book as it is
32:16
Speaker 2: written of me, to do thy will, O God, allelujah.
32:22
Speaker 2: It's very very important. Every believer must be trained to
32:26
Speaker 2: know your place in God's in destiny and in God's
32:30
Speaker 2: prophetic program. Number four that the second, the fourth dimension
32:36
Speaker 2: of knowledge is that you must understand the mysteries and
32:40
Speaker 2: the principles of the kingdom. This is very important. You
32:43
Speaker 2: must understand the mysteries and the principles of the kingdom.
32:49
Speaker 2: Job thirty eight, thirty three to thirty five, writing for reference,
32:53
Speaker 2: knowest thou the ordinances of heaven, and canst thou sets
32:57
Speaker 2: the dominion thereof? In the earth it is between God
33:01
Speaker 2: and Joe Psalm eighty two, verse five, Popular Scripture. Here
33:06
Speaker 2: they know not, neither will they understand. They walk on
33:09
Speaker 2: in darkness, and all the foundations of the earth are
33:12
Speaker 2: out of course. Matthew thirteen eleven. Jesus is still teaching,
33:16
Speaker 2: for it has been given onto you to know the
33:19
Speaker 2: mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven. Allelujah. The Kingdom operates
33:26
Speaker 2: using a models operandi. There is a pattern, there is
33:29
Speaker 2: a principle, and every time you want to see the
33:32
Speaker 2: glory of God revealed, there is a mandage upon you
33:37
Speaker 2: that you must know the ways of God. Number five,
33:41
Speaker 2: What is the fifth dimension of knowledge? If you must
33:46
Speaker 2: press into an excellent spiritual life, you must understand Man
33:51
Speaker 2: as the highest of God's creation, and then you must
33:55
Speaker 2: understand the world's system, the cosmos. It is not enough
33:58
Speaker 2: to understand the Prince of the Kingdom. You must understand
34:01
Speaker 2: Man as the zenith, the highest of God's creation, and
34:07
Speaker 2: then you must understand the cosmos. This is important. When
34:11
Speaker 2: we discuss this, we considered some eight from verse one
34:14
Speaker 2: to six. Remember p. Eight one to six. Oh Lord God,
34:18
Speaker 2: how excellent is your name? He says, all of that,
34:20
Speaker 2: when I consider the works of your hands, and all
34:23
Speaker 2: of that. When we get to verse five, he now says,
34:26
Speaker 2: what is man? Of verse four? What is man that
34:30
Speaker 2: thou art mindful of him? Not the son of Man
34:33
Speaker 2: that thou visitest him. I hope we're still together. I'm
34:37
Speaker 2: showing you that if you want to explore your spiritual growth.
34:41
Speaker 2: It is important that you follow these sequence of the wise,
34:44
Speaker 2: something will be lobsided. As far as your spiritual understanding
34:48
Speaker 2: is concerned. You must know man, because this is the
34:52
Speaker 2: world of man. Some one one five, verse sixteen. The
34:55
Speaker 2: Bible says, the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord,
34:58
Speaker 2: but the eath has He given to the children of men.
35:03
Speaker 2: If you must excel in the cosmos, you need to
35:06
Speaker 2: understand the world of men. Allelujah. In fact, in Matthew
35:13
Speaker 2: ten sixteen, I believe Jesus was teaching them. And you
35:16
Speaker 2: noticed when Jesus began to teach if you study the
35:20
Speaker 2: Beatitudes theologically, Jesus began to teach them, relating the kingdom
35:26
Speaker 2: with and contrasting it with the cosmos. There were times
35:30
Speaker 2: where he would teach them things that were largely eternal
35:33
Speaker 2: and spiritual, but in many instances he would now del
35:37
Speaker 2: to help them understand the cosmos. This was one of
35:40
Speaker 2: such discussions. Behold, I send you forth as sheep in
35:45
Speaker 2: the midst of wolves, he says, be therefore wise as sapens.
35:50
Speaker 2: All through scripture, a sapent has always been associated with evil, Satan,
35:57
Speaker 2: the devil. Are we together now and here Jesus is
36:00
Speaker 2: saying that you need to borrow the wisdom of the
36:03
Speaker 2: serpent and the character of the dove if you must
36:07
Speaker 2: excel in the cosmos. Very strange teaching for the simple
36:13
Speaker 2: information that you are a ship in the midst of wolves.
36:17
Speaker 2: He says, there are two dimensions of wisdom and approach
36:22
Speaker 2: you must have. You need to be as wise as
36:25
Speaker 2: a serpent, and you need to be as harmless as
36:28
Speaker 2: a dove. And the only place in scripture where you
36:32
Speaker 2: learn the wisdom of the serpent is Egypt. You will
36:36
Speaker 2: have to go to Egypt to learn the wisdom of
36:39
Speaker 2: the serpent. Allelujah. And the Bible says, as hamless as
36:47
Speaker 2: a dove. So number six, very quickly, what is the
36:51
Speaker 2: final dimension of knowledge that the believer must have? You
36:55
Speaker 2: must know your adversary, the devil. I'm doing a recap
36:59
Speaker 2: for those of us who have been following the series,
37:01
Speaker 2: but this is important. I need to say this so
37:03
Speaker 2: you understand what I'm explaining today. You must know your adversary,
37:08
Speaker 2: the devil. The devil is not your friend, no, sir.
37:11
Speaker 2: The devil is not a confident. The Bible calls him
37:15
Speaker 2: the thief. John ten ten the thief, a description that
37:19
Speaker 2: Jesus himself gave many bad names. Satan is called, he's
37:23
Speaker 2: called a moderer, he's called an accuser of the brethren.
37:26
Speaker 2: He's called a thief. In this case that he comes
37:29
Speaker 2: accept he does not come except to steal, to kill,
37:33
Speaker 2: and to destroy. First Peter, Chapter five, Apostle Peter was
37:38
Speaker 2: teaching us. In verse eight and nine, he says, be sober,
37:41
Speaker 2: first bitter five eight and nine, Be sober, Be vigilant.
37:45
Speaker 2: He says, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion,
37:51
Speaker 2: walked about seeking whom he may devolve. Verse nine he says,
37:56
Speaker 2: whom resists steadfast in the faith, whom resist it is
38:02
Speaker 2: within your power. Let me tell you this, no matter
38:06
Speaker 2: what you know, as far as spiritual information is concerned,
38:10
Speaker 2: if you do not understand Satan and the dark world,
38:15
Speaker 2: the demonic kingdom, you will be incapacitated in ways you
38:19
Speaker 2: cannot imagine. Are we together now? Yes? When I was
38:23
Speaker 2: discussing this, I taught you that as an expert, when
38:27
Speaker 2: they teach you about accidents, the goal is not for
38:30
Speaker 2: you to go and die in a car crash. But
38:32
Speaker 2: you can never be called a professional. There is a
38:35
Speaker 2: whole course on plane crashes. When you study aviation and
38:40
Speaker 2: you have been trained to become a professional pilot, they
38:43
Speaker 2: simulate many kinds of plane crashes and they teach you
38:47
Speaker 2: how to circumvence them. It is on account of that
38:50
Speaker 2: you are satisfied as a professional pilot. Are we together?
38:54
Speaker 2: There are many believers, in an attempt to remain positive,
38:57
Speaker 2: have ignored the reality of the dark. Well, Jesus himself
39:01
Speaker 2: might revealed many aspects of Satan. It was Jesus, in fact,
39:07
Speaker 2: our understanding about the operation of Jesus as far as
39:10
Speaker 2: the gospel. Operation of Satan, as far as the Gospel
39:14
Speaker 2: is concerned, was revealed by Jesus himself. And then Paul
39:19
Speaker 2: came and structured the Satanic kingdom, and is said, do
39:23
Speaker 2: not be unaware of the wilds or the devices of
39:27
Speaker 2: the devil. Do not be ignorant, he says. So you
39:33
Speaker 2: must know God. You must know yourself in light of
39:36
Speaker 2: who Christ is. You must know your place in destiny
39:39
Speaker 2: and God's prophetic program. You must understand the mysteries and
39:43
Speaker 2: the principles of the Kingdom. You must understand Man and
39:48
Speaker 2: the cosmos. And then you must understand your adversary the devil.
39:52
Speaker 2: Show me any believer who would have invested a major
39:55
Speaker 2: portion of his work exploring these dimensions knowledge. I show
40:01
Speaker 2: you one who it will be impossible to be a
40:04
Speaker 2: weak believer. Allelujah. Strength in the Kingdom is a cumulative
40:10
Speaker 2: of your knowledge, the lights that has come from these
40:13
Speaker 2: various dimensions of knowledge. Allelujah. And then I also taught
40:18
Speaker 2: you that there are four channels to knowing God. This
40:22
Speaker 2: is very important. I hope I'm still with you or
40:27
Speaker 2: we're still together. Four channels to knowing God. That everybody
40:31
Speaker 2: who now wants to know God, there are four channels.
40:35
Speaker 2: Number one is scripture. The first recommendation as far as
40:41
Speaker 2: the knowledge of God is concerned, is scripture. Our first
40:46
Speaker 2: part of call as believers who seek to know God
40:49
Speaker 2: and to know Jesus is scripture. Allelujah. The Bible tells
40:54
Speaker 2: us in John chapter one, from verse one to three,
41:01
Speaker 2: in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was
41:03
Speaker 2: with God, and the Word was God. Verse two says
41:06
Speaker 2: the same was in the beginning with God. Three says
41:10
Speaker 2: all things were made by Him, and without him was
41:13
Speaker 2: not anything made that was made. So the Word is
41:17
Speaker 2: God and scripture is very important. Allelujah. This is very
41:22
Speaker 2: very important. Scripture reveals the character of God, and scripture
41:26
Speaker 2: reveals the methodologies of God. Number two very quickly. The
41:31
Speaker 2: second channel for learning and knowing God is a careful
41:36
Speaker 2: study on his names. Remember that the names of God
41:42
Speaker 2: capture various dimensions of his power and his might. The
41:46
Speaker 2: names of God. Exodus, chapter three thirteen to fifteen. Exodus
41:54
Speaker 2: three thirteen to fifteen, Moses said, unto God, behold, when
41:59
Speaker 2: I to the children of Israel, and shall say unto them,
42:03
Speaker 2: the God of your fathers have sent me onto you,
42:05
Speaker 2: and they shall say unto me, what is his name?
42:08
Speaker 2: What shall I say onto them? Fourteen Now? And God
42:12
Speaker 2: said onto Moses, I am that I am. He said,
42:17
Speaker 2: thost shall thou say to the children of Israel, I
42:20
Speaker 2: Am had sent me to you. Fifteen now he says.
42:24
Speaker 2: And God said, listen moreover to Moses, thirst shall thou
42:29
Speaker 2: say to the children of Israel, the Lord, God of
42:33
Speaker 2: your fathers, the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac,
42:37
Speaker 2: and the God of Jacob, had sent me to you.
42:40
Speaker 2: He says, this is my name forever, and this is
42:44
Speaker 2: my memorial onto all generations. Now go to chapter six,
42:48
Speaker 2: same Exodus, chapter six. From verse one, then the Lord
42:53
Speaker 2: said onto Moses, we're reading to verse three. Don't be
42:55
Speaker 2: tired of writing scripture. Thou shall, he says, Now, shall
42:59
Speaker 2: thou see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with
43:03
Speaker 2: a strong hand shall he let them go? And with
43:06
Speaker 2: a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land?
43:11
Speaker 2: Verse two. And God spake onto Moses, saying, I am
43:18
Speaker 2: the Lord these three, and I appeared onto Abraham, onto Isaac,
43:24
Speaker 2: and onto Jacob by the name of God Almighty, he says,
43:30
Speaker 2: But by my name Jehovah, was I not known to them?
43:35
Speaker 2: So God reveals himself according to his names. In fact,
43:41
Speaker 2: the various names of God that we know from scripture,
43:44
Speaker 2: as you have been taught, were trapped. There were experiences
43:50
Speaker 2: manifestations of the power, the wisdom, the grace of God.
43:53
Speaker 2: Every time they saw God move in a dimension that
43:56
Speaker 2: was foreign to them, they would trap it in a name,
44:00
Speaker 2: build a memorial around it, so that every time you
44:03
Speaker 2: wanted to learn that dimension of God, you are referred
44:06
Speaker 2: to that name. That's how we came about with Jirah
44:09
Speaker 2: s Kennu. Are we together now? And all of these
44:13
Speaker 2: versions of his name. So four channels to knowing God
44:18
Speaker 2: number one, Scripture number two, the names of God number three,
44:23
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. This is powerful. Jesus Christ himself came as
44:29
Speaker 2: an explanation of God. I told you that Jesus came.
44:33
Speaker 2: Among the many reasons why he came up to the
44:36
Speaker 2: earth was as a manuscript and a marching script. He
44:40
Speaker 2: came as a correction to our understanding about God. Are
44:44
Speaker 2: we together that the prior knowledge that the prophets and
44:49
Speaker 2: the patriots had had about God? Because until Jesus came,
44:53
Speaker 2: no one could know God accurately. Until Jesus came, there
44:57
Speaker 2: were gaps in the understanding of God. Why because they
45:01
Speaker 2: had to depend on the perception of any prophet who
45:04
Speaker 2: was in charge at that time to reveal God to them.
45:08
Speaker 2: The possibility of a personal experience with God, as we
45:11
Speaker 2: know widespread, was not given to them as a privilege.
45:15
Speaker 2: There were few people who, either by the election of
45:17
Speaker 2: grace or just by reason of certain covenants, had the
45:21
Speaker 2: privilege of encountering God. But as a nation and as
45:25
Speaker 2: a people, even though God's people, they had to interpret.
45:29
Speaker 2: They had to depend on the interpretation of God that
45:32
Speaker 2: was given to them by the prophets and the prophets
45:35
Speaker 2: did their best, but they made a lot of mistakes.
45:38
Speaker 2: There were many things they credited to God that God
45:41
Speaker 2: had no hand in away together. And I hope you
45:43
Speaker 2: know when you study scripture, you will see that even
45:46
Speaker 2: among the prophetic in the Old Testament, there was a
45:49
Speaker 2: doubling between authentic work with God, and there were times
45:53
Speaker 2: they delve into divination. There were times where so there
45:56
Speaker 2: were many perspectives that they brought together an a nation
46:00
Speaker 2: tis anything that was beyond the realm of science, and
46:03
Speaker 2: this three dimensional realm, they largely credited it to God.
46:07
Speaker 2: So Jesus came as an explanation. He came as a
46:11
Speaker 2: correction of our perception about God. That means, using the
46:15
Speaker 2: lens of the person Jesus, we can judge every other
46:19
Speaker 2: prophet and every other person who has said anything about God.
46:22
Speaker 2: Whatever they said about God, we bring it to the
46:26
Speaker 2: lens of Jesus as the incarnate. Now are we together,
46:31
Speaker 2: and then we test what they said God was as
46:35
Speaker 2: against what Jesus came to manifest. And anything that we
46:39
Speaker 2: find in defiance or in contrast toward Jesus was revealing.
46:43
Speaker 2: Then we knew that something had to be corrected about
46:46
Speaker 2: their understanding of God is the reason why they got
46:49
Speaker 2: angry every time Jesus called himself God or the Son
46:52
Speaker 2: of God. They said, you were a young boy who
46:55
Speaker 2: was born in our presence here, How would you dare
46:57
Speaker 2: say that you are God. They were angry, especially the
47:00
Speaker 2: scribes and the Pharisees. He said, before your your father Abraham,
47:05
Speaker 2: I was and they wanted to stone him. They said,
47:07
Speaker 2: this guy's blasphemy has gotten to more. Let's just kill
47:10
Speaker 2: him before he teaches this nonsense across the city. They
47:14
Speaker 2: were uncomfortable. But you see, the truth is that Jesus
47:18
Speaker 2: came as a revelation of the Father. You find all
47:22
Speaker 2: that captured in John's Synoptic Account, Chapter one, from verse
47:26
Speaker 2: one to six, the Bible says, the word became flesh,
47:31
Speaker 2: and then it dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory,
47:35
Speaker 2: even as of the only begotten of the Father, full
47:38
Speaker 2: of grace and truth. So he was the word incanate
47:42
Speaker 2: he walked upon the earth he Brews Chapter one, God
47:46
Speaker 2: who in saundry times and diverse mannerspect to us in
47:49
Speaker 2: time past through the prophet, had in these last days
47:52
Speaker 2: Verse two spoken to us through his son, whom he
47:55
Speaker 2: had appointed heir of all things by who also he
48:00
Speaker 2: had made the world's Verse three. Now the Bible says,
48:03
Speaker 2: who've been the brightness of his glory and the express
48:10
Speaker 2: image of his person. So Jesus came as the express
48:14
Speaker 2: image of the Father. That means if you had never
48:17
Speaker 2: seen the Father, you are never related with the Father.
48:20
Speaker 2: If you looked at Jesus, he came as an explanation,
48:23
Speaker 2: an accurate explanation of the Father. Why do we know
48:27
Speaker 2: that Jesus represented the Father properly because the Father himself
48:32
Speaker 2: gave a public word of commendation. He said, this is
48:35
Speaker 2: my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, and
48:39
Speaker 2: he mandated creation to hear him. Are we together? So
48:45
Speaker 2: we learn God as we study Jesus. Finally, the fourth
48:51
Speaker 2: channel for learning and knowing God is through experience. There
48:57
Speaker 2: is a place for experience Joe forty two and verse five.
49:01
Speaker 2: It was job who taught us this through his pain.
49:03
Speaker 2: I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear,
49:07
Speaker 2: it says, But now my eyes seeet be you can
49:11
Speaker 2: know God through experience. First John chapter one, from verse
49:15
Speaker 2: one we're reading to five, Allelujah, praise the name of
49:23
Speaker 2: the Lord, I'm giving you a lot of scripture. Write
49:25
Speaker 2: it in Jesus name and your sound doctrine. In Jesus'
49:29
Speaker 2: much less name, we have prayed. John one, let's do
49:33
Speaker 2: one to five. You won't believe that I've not even
49:36
Speaker 2: started my teaching this night, But this is important. Write
49:40
Speaker 2: it down. That which was from the beginning, which we
49:44
Speaker 2: have heard, which we have seen with our eyes. Are
49:48
Speaker 2: we together, which we have looked upon, and our hands
49:52
Speaker 2: have handled of the world of life? Verse two. For
49:56
Speaker 2: the life was manifested, and we have seen it this way, eyewitnesses,
50:00
Speaker 2: and bear witness, and show onto you that eternal life
50:05
Speaker 2: which was with the Father and was manifest onto us.
50:08
Speaker 2: Use three that which we have seen and heard. Declare
50:12
Speaker 2: we onto you that ye also may have fellowship with us.
50:17
Speaker 2: And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with
50:21
Speaker 2: his son Jesus Christ. Two more verses, and these things
50:25
Speaker 2: right we onto you, that your joy might be full.
50:29
Speaker 2: The last verse. Now, this then is the message he says,
50:32
Speaker 2: which we have heard of him, And declare unto you
50:36
Speaker 2: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
50:39
Speaker 2: Apostle Johnny, saying, listen, we were eyewitnesses. We worked with Jesus,
50:44
Speaker 2: we sat with him. He taught us. We were direct
50:47
Speaker 2: products of his mentorship. And so when we teach you,
50:50
Speaker 2: you must be able to believe. Believe that we're not
50:53
Speaker 2: just teaching you cunningly devised fables. You can know God
50:58
Speaker 2: through experience. Allelujah. I will still together. Let's pray the
51:07
Speaker 2: spirit for one minute. Jesus Si la ka po sapran
51:12
Speaker 2: da Cappalaco theater. Thank you for understanding. Allelujah. As chapter seventeen,
51:27
Speaker 2: something happened in Athens. As chapter seventeen, Let's begin our
51:32
Speaker 2: reading from verse sixteen to seventeen. Then we jumped to
51:35
Speaker 2: twenty two to twenty four. Now watch this. The Bible says,
51:39
Speaker 2: while Paul waited for them at Athens, his spirit was
51:44
Speaker 2: tard in him when he saw the city wholly given
51:49
Speaker 2: to idolatry. This was Paul Apostle. He entered into Athens,
51:54
Speaker 2: and he saw that the people were given to idolatry
51:57
Speaker 2: verse seventeen. There for disputedly in the synagogue with the
52:03
Speaker 2: Jews and with the devout persons, and in the market
52:07
Speaker 2: daily with them that met him. He kept at you,
52:10
Speaker 2: and I said, listen, something is wrong you people are
52:13
Speaker 2: zealous people, but this is idolatry. Jump to verse twenty two.
52:18
Speaker 2: The Bible says, then Paul stood in the midst of
52:23
Speaker 2: the mass heel and said, ye, men of Athens, I
52:28
Speaker 2: perceived that in all things ye are too superstitious Verse
52:33
Speaker 2: three twenty three. Now, for as I passed by, he says,
52:38
Speaker 2: and beheld your devotions. So these were people who were
52:42
Speaker 2: zealous and committed. I found an altar with this inscription
52:48
Speaker 2: to the unknown God, whom ye therefore ignorantly worship. This
52:56
Speaker 2: ignorance your devotion shipping an unknown god, he says, I
53:02
Speaker 2: have come to give you clarity about that God, because
53:05
Speaker 2: when I came into Athens, I saw a lot of religiousity.
53:09
Speaker 2: He said, you were even too superstitious. Use the mind
53:14
Speaker 2: of your imagination to imagine a city. Everywhere you went
53:17
Speaker 2: there were monuments, there were traditional practices. Everybody was suggesting anything,
53:23
Speaker 2: and they had to build an altar. They said, we
53:26
Speaker 2: know this much, whoever this god is, and they put
53:29
Speaker 2: in an inscription there we don't know you, but will
53:32
Speaker 2: keep worshiping you. What a tragedy to the unknown God.
53:37
Speaker 2: How do you become so devoted to an unknown god?
53:41
Speaker 2: Worshiping an unknown God. How do you know he has
53:44
Speaker 2: answered you? How do you know you are not in error?
53:48
Speaker 2: Who corrects who? And by what standard? Keep that scripture there, please,
53:55
Speaker 2: I want you to look at that scripture very carefully
53:57
Speaker 2: as I passed by. You know what that meant? Paul?
54:01
Speaker 2: I like Paul. Paul just kept going around Athens, from
54:05
Speaker 2: one region to the other, and he said everybody was
54:08
Speaker 2: bowing down, worshiping others, had a set of knowledge, there
54:13
Speaker 2: were ideas, people were mentoring others, and yet there was
54:17
Speaker 2: widespread ignorance in Athens. And Paul said, you even did
54:22
Speaker 2: an altar and you openly wrote an inscription on it
54:26
Speaker 2: to the unknown God. In other words, we are so devoted.
54:30
Speaker 2: We love this God and we wish we could know him.
54:33
Speaker 2: But since he has chosen not to review himself to us,
54:36
Speaker 2: our devotion continues even in ignorance. Does that sound like
54:40
Speaker 2: a generation? Does that sound like an individual? If a
54:43
Speaker 2: whole territory can worship an unknown God, there are many
54:47
Speaker 2: people today who have died to a unknown God. There
54:50
Speaker 2: are many people today who have argued about an unknown God.
54:56
Speaker 2: There are many people today, respectfully speaking, preaching about and
55:00
Speaker 2: unknown God, advocating doing and even doing evangelous into an
55:05
Speaker 2: unknown God, bringing seeds, tiding, giving to an unknown God.
55:11
Speaker 2: And Paul said, I have come to declare him to you.
55:15
Speaker 2: Let's look at verse twenty four. It says God that
55:19
Speaker 2: made the world and all things therein, seeing that he
55:23
Speaker 2: is Lord of heaven and earth, dwell let not in
55:26
Speaker 2: temples made with hands. And when you begin to read,
55:29
Speaker 2: he started explaining to them. Now he was bringing perspective
55:34
Speaker 2: to this unknown God. Please look up. Do you know,
55:37
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, that what happened in Athens is still
55:41
Speaker 2: true in many, many lives today. There are many people
55:46
Speaker 2: who have written songs to an unknown God, received all
55:54
Speaker 2: kinds of pain to an unknown God, serving in a
55:58
Speaker 2: church that they believe his own by an unknown God,
56:01
Speaker 2: writing books that they kept to an unknown God. This
56:05
Speaker 2: is from a standpoint of love. I hope you understand me.
56:08
Speaker 2: The goal is to give us perspective. It's not amazing
56:11
Speaker 2: the zeal of the average Christian in Africa. Africa is
56:16
Speaker 2: about one of the most religious continents, passionate people. I
56:22
Speaker 2: mean you, is this spiritual exercises of widespread fasting? Is
56:28
Speaker 2: this spiritual exercise of or not to spiritual authorities. I mean,
56:32
Speaker 2: you find the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ in
56:34
Speaker 2: many regards. In Africa, you find it down middle is
56:38
Speaker 2: there is devotion in a way if you've had the
56:41
Speaker 2: privilege of traveling across the globe, even whether it is
56:44
Speaker 2: in your mind or physically, it will still achieve the
56:47
Speaker 2: same results away together. And you see the kind of
56:50
Speaker 2: devotion there are priests across the globe, in the christiandom,
56:56
Speaker 2: in every other religious expression, you will see the sacrifices, consecrations,
57:02
Speaker 2: first things, abstinence devotion. And you are wondering this widespread devotion.
57:09
Speaker 2: There are parents who have quarreled their children. Bear well,
57:13
Speaker 2: God is not happy with you. The question is which God?
57:20
Speaker 2: How about we servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. We
57:23
Speaker 2: have taught serious and serious about God. We have spoken
57:27
Speaker 2: about Heaven. We have cried on crusade grounds backconing on thousands,
57:33
Speaker 2: praying for millions to come to this God, and they
57:37
Speaker 2: respond faithfully. Then they walk up to us, and then
57:41
Speaker 2: we lead them with they say of turning God or
57:44
Speaker 2: their Lord Jesus. And at the end of it, respectfully speaking,
57:48
Speaker 2: largely both the preacher and the new converts are not
57:52
Speaker 2: even aware of who they are talking to. Allelujah, no wonder.
58:06
Speaker 2: There is usually a problem of conviction in light of situations,
58:12
Speaker 2: in light of you know, negative situations, especially so you
58:16
Speaker 2: find out that there is a vacillation of convictions. Today
58:21
Speaker 2: we stand strong, I know God will heal me. I
58:24
Speaker 2: know it shall end up in praise. And then eventually
58:28
Speaker 2: our convictions begin to dwindle because in truth we are
58:31
Speaker 2: not sure. We made both full statements, but now we're
58:34
Speaker 2: not sure again. You see, it's already happening to so
58:37
Speaker 2: many people. On one hand, we say, no, this God,
58:40
Speaker 2: if it is my God, I know him, I know
58:45
Speaker 2: he will come true for this family. I know he
58:47
Speaker 2: can't leave me down. And then eventually we begin to
58:51
Speaker 2: negotiate so many things and say I don't even know again, God,
58:54
Speaker 2: is it your will? There are many people angry with
58:57
Speaker 2: God today because they were taught to live in an
59:00
Speaker 2: unknown God, and they believed in that unknown God, and
59:05
Speaker 2: many things that they believed he would do were not done,
59:09
Speaker 2: and in anger. Now there are many many people who
59:12
Speaker 2: do not even want the mention of church, do not
59:14
Speaker 2: want the mention of anything. They say God has failed me.
59:17
Speaker 2: I have a pleasfora of failure. There's too much failure
59:20
Speaker 2: in my life. What kind of a God is this?
59:23
Speaker 2: I read in the Bible that he is almighty. I
59:26
Speaker 2: read in the Bible that he is all powerful. I
59:28
Speaker 2: read in the Bible that the cattle on a thousand
59:30
Speaker 2: he will belongs to him. And here am I serving God,
59:34
Speaker 2: loving him in church. And then it looks like he
59:37
Speaker 2: does not want to attend to me, do you know?
59:39
Speaker 2: Respectfully speaking? Sometimes people send me text messages and I
59:42
Speaker 2: know their dorenis incerely They say apposal, since God has
59:45
Speaker 2: not had me. This is my prayer. Request at me
59:47
Speaker 2: and tell him that we need Yes, sir, and now
59:53
Speaker 2: you don't laugh at them. At least I admit my
59:57
Speaker 2: ignorance that I don't know him. You who claims to
59:59
Speaker 2: know him, please help me. The most important thing is this,
1:00:02
Speaker 2: yeest not who is talking. Letting just be aware that
1:00:06
Speaker 2: there are needs in my life like this. As simple
1:00:09
Speaker 2: as this message is, ladies and gentlemen, what I'm about
1:00:12
Speaker 2: to share with you will bring you liberation. There is something.
1:00:16
Speaker 2: If you do not know God in truth, your life
1:00:19
Speaker 2: and your Christian experience will be full of assumption and gaps.
1:00:24
Speaker 2: You will keep being promoted ministerially until the day you
1:00:28
Speaker 2: hit a wall, and all those who are following you
1:00:30
Speaker 2: will which God exactly how we're worshiping. And then I
1:00:35
Speaker 2: hope you know. Last I checked, I hope my facts
1:00:38
Speaker 2: are still right. There are about four thousand religions and growing,
1:00:43
Speaker 2: and many of them are becoming similar now because there
1:00:46
Speaker 2: are pseudo expressions of one another. So how do I
1:00:49
Speaker 2: know I am not in error? How do I know
1:00:52
Speaker 2: the God I'm serving is the God of the Bible.
1:00:55
Speaker 2: There are all kinds of arguments and debates about God.
1:00:58
Speaker 2: I like Paul. Paul, he's teaching us something today that
1:01:02
Speaker 2: he taught the believers in Athens. And so he gathered
1:01:05
Speaker 2: the people and said, there is need for a conference immediately.
1:01:08
Speaker 2: And he said, ladies and gentlemen, first, let me commend
1:01:12
Speaker 2: your zeal. I say that you are even so superstitious.
1:01:18
Speaker 2: Imagine that you went to Athens and he said this
1:01:20
Speaker 2: God wants you to give you money and everybody will
1:01:24
Speaker 2: comme and so, oh yeah, God, where are you. Another
1:01:27
Speaker 2: person who says God does not need your money, said, God,
1:01:29
Speaker 2: give me back my money. I was told that you
1:01:31
Speaker 2: are too rich. Another person says God wants you to
1:01:34
Speaker 2: first and pray. Another person says God is not interested
1:01:37
Speaker 2: in firsting and prayer. Another person says God demands consecration
1:01:43
Speaker 2: and devotion respectfully, and then another way say it doesn't matter,
1:01:47
Speaker 2: so believe us. Are now confused because remember, all of
1:01:51
Speaker 2: this is to please this God, and for many he
1:01:53
Speaker 2: still remains an unknown God. Someone says, if you want
1:01:58
Speaker 2: him to bless you with increased do this. Another person says,
1:02:01
Speaker 2: just believe him and gift things. And many believers are saying, God,
1:02:04
Speaker 2: can you come and help us? Cleary heir? Who is right?
1:02:07
Speaker 2: And for God? We want to believe you sincerely, But
1:02:11
Speaker 2: who are you? No one that Moses asked that question?
1:02:14
Speaker 2: He said, who we like? One? Tell Pharaoh now, I
1:02:17
Speaker 2: hope you know Moses was trained in Egypt. He was
1:02:20
Speaker 2: supposed to be the next pharaoh, but he ran away,
1:02:24
Speaker 2: so he's that if I wan't tell Pharaoh, God has
1:02:26
Speaker 2: sent me. Pharaoh said, dear preacher, I hope you know.
1:02:29
Speaker 2: There are many gods in Egypt. Which of them now
1:02:32
Speaker 2: has sent you? And Moses said, before you send me,
1:02:36
Speaker 2: before I go and disgrace myself and cause pain to
1:02:39
Speaker 2: the people, please reveal yourself to me. Let my confidence
1:02:43
Speaker 2: be anchored upon the truth of the God I have met,
1:02:46
Speaker 2: and God said, I am that I am, I am
1:02:51
Speaker 2: that I am. Ladies and gentlemen, every generation that are
1:02:55
Speaker 2: men and women who shook that generation, especially spiritual. Their
1:03:00
Speaker 2: impact and their exploit was directly connected to their genuine
1:03:05
Speaker 2: encounters with God. Make reference to my teaching the value
1:03:09
Speaker 2: of spiritual encounters. But it's important for you to understand this.
1:03:13
Speaker 2: Many people have not taken the time to know God.
1:03:17
Speaker 2: We can know about God, but the knowledge of God. Now.
1:03:22
Speaker 2: Just as an example, if someone suddenly sent you a
1:03:25
Speaker 2: text now and says, a personally is in us right
1:03:29
Speaker 2: now and it's about to preach in a conference because
1:03:32
Speaker 2: you know me and you know that. Accept Otherwise every Sunday,
1:03:35
Speaker 2: I am here, something about me with respect to my
1:03:39
Speaker 2: assignment will make you will not It will not even
1:03:42
Speaker 2: be a prayer point. Are we together? Now? There is
1:03:45
Speaker 2: something about God when you know, even the prophetic will
1:03:48
Speaker 2: not threaten you again because you can judge it from
1:03:51
Speaker 2: the lens of your knowledge of God. There is something
1:03:54
Speaker 2: about God when you know here dies immediately because there
1:03:59
Speaker 2: is something about God that if you do not understand,
1:04:02
Speaker 2: he will look like a chila who can destroy you.
1:04:05
Speaker 2: And then in another place it looks like it's indefinitely merciful.
1:04:08
Speaker 2: And yet the Bible captures all these dimensions of him.
1:04:13
Speaker 2: I say lion, and I say, Lamb, you still find
1:04:16
Speaker 2: it there. I say warrior, and I say, messiful God,
1:04:19
Speaker 2: you still find it there? And we together. There were
1:04:23
Speaker 2: people that God took things from, and there were people
1:04:26
Speaker 2: God gave things to. So which God should iself? The
1:04:36
Speaker 2: songs we sing, they all belong to you, and even
1:04:47
Speaker 2: the we pry it after singing that beautiful rendition. And
1:05:01
Speaker 2: then an intelligent person who says, but please, my dear brother,
1:05:04
Speaker 2: can you help me describe or explain for me this
1:05:08
Speaker 2: God you have served for twenty years. I'm listening, talk
1:05:12
Speaker 2: to me. What are you going to say about him? Oh,
1:05:14
Speaker 2: he's the creator of the heavens and the earth. I
1:05:16
Speaker 2: can tell you this God is mighty. And he says,
1:05:18
Speaker 2: that's not what I'm asking you. Who is he? If
1:05:23
Speaker 2: it is true that he wants to be known, if
1:05:26
Speaker 2: it is true that he wants to be served, if
1:05:29
Speaker 2: it is true that he has sent me, how do
1:05:31
Speaker 2: you represented God? You do not know? Now? You say,
1:05:34
Speaker 2: he has called you light, He's called you salt he is,
1:05:37
Speaker 2: and I'm bad You're sent to us an ambassador. You
1:05:40
Speaker 2: even claim that he has sent you to your family,
1:05:43
Speaker 2: like he sent Moses to Egypt. So you stand before
1:05:46
Speaker 2: the altars that have plagged your family for years. The
1:05:49
Speaker 2: happlice knows who he's serving, and he will tell you
1:05:52
Speaker 2: I know him. We were introduced there. Now you have come,
1:05:56
Speaker 2: and you want to dislodge his power. I don't argue,
1:05:59
Speaker 2: but who is the god? The prophets of bel they
1:06:04
Speaker 2: got to a point where they knew Bell so much,
1:06:07
Speaker 2: and the Bible says they called upon Bell, and they
1:06:10
Speaker 2: were surprised, probably for the first time in their prophetic
1:06:14
Speaker 2: Johnny Bell disappointed them. Bell, we do not. We didn't
1:06:18
Speaker 2: expect that you would disappoint us to a point that
1:06:21
Speaker 2: they lacerated themselves devorce on to an unknown God. And
1:06:26
Speaker 2: Elijah said, call him louder. You claim you know him,
1:06:30
Speaker 2: Let him come and defend his name. And when it
1:06:34
Speaker 2: was time, Elijah said, now you watch the living God.
1:06:37
Speaker 2: He set up twelve storms. He said, for what on it?
1:06:41
Speaker 2: This one is not experiment. There is something about God.
1:06:44
Speaker 2: You must know. Poor what a fire is about? To call?
1:06:47
Speaker 2: He said, at it again? Seven times, and then he said,
1:06:50
Speaker 2: clead away, and he lifted up his eyes. He did
1:06:53
Speaker 2: not pray twice. He did not pray three times. The
1:06:57
Speaker 2: Bible says fire came from heaven and licked up the water, allelujah.
1:07:07
Speaker 2: When David stood before go Liard, God, Liard looked at
1:07:11
Speaker 2: him and said, am I a dog Israel with all
1:07:14
Speaker 2: my might and experience? Who bring this small boy? You
1:07:17
Speaker 2: want me to chill him in the way that will
1:07:19
Speaker 2: leave you with bad memories? And when he was done talking,
1:07:22
Speaker 2: I will show you the scripture later on. David looks
1:07:25
Speaker 2: at him and says, that is none of my business.
1:07:26
Speaker 2: You see, I did not come with your sword. You
1:07:28
Speaker 2: should be afraid already that I'm coming to fight you.
1:07:31
Speaker 2: And I did not come with your sword. Can you
1:07:34
Speaker 2: imagine that you come to me with your boes and
1:07:37
Speaker 2: your fairst. But there is something I know about God.
1:07:39
Speaker 2: I have come to you in a name. He never said.
1:07:42
Speaker 2: I came with a sling. I came with a name
1:07:45
Speaker 2: that he has revealed. I know what he can do.
1:07:50
Speaker 2: I know what he can do. Those who know God, Indeed,
1:07:53
Speaker 2: they shall be strong. Truly, they shall be strong that
1:07:57
Speaker 2: you can sit death to the face and say I
1:07:59
Speaker 2: know who said believer us, Please yar me. Our stability,
1:08:05
Speaker 2: especially in the days that are coming, will not just
1:08:08
Speaker 2: be based on your connection to a man of God.
1:08:11
Speaker 2: You to be based on your connection to the God
1:08:14
Speaker 2: you know. The God you know is the God you
1:08:16
Speaker 2: will serve your generation with. And this discussion tonight is
1:08:21
Speaker 2: to help you take away the haziness. We have made
1:08:24
Speaker 2: a lot of bald teatements. God will not tell me,
1:08:28
Speaker 2: and yet we're failing. And so people say, okay, I
1:08:31
Speaker 2: was patient to listen to you for twelve years. Where
1:08:34
Speaker 2: is this God? And you too, Now you have to
1:08:36
Speaker 2: go back and say, God, truly, where are you? You
1:08:44
Speaker 2: can know God accurately. Let's discuss this God now. The
1:08:51
Speaker 2: first thing I want you to know about God is
1:08:55
Speaker 2: that the Bible records that God is in finite. Please
1:08:58
Speaker 2: listen in finite Isaiah forty and verse twenty eight, pleasen them.
1:09:04
Speaker 2: He says, there is no suching. Hast thou not known?
1:09:08
Speaker 2: Hast thou not heard that the everlasting God? Notice now,
1:09:13
Speaker 2: the everlasting God. He calls him the Lord. Away together
1:09:17
Speaker 2: three names at once, Everlasting God, the Lord, the creator
1:09:22
Speaker 2: of the ends of the earth. He fainted not neither
1:09:26
Speaker 2: is he weary. Then the Bible gives us a very
1:09:29
Speaker 2: profound information about God that from the start of your
1:09:33
Speaker 2: journey you should know that the best of your exploration
1:09:37
Speaker 2: will not do justice to who God is. He says,
1:09:40
Speaker 2: there is no suching of his understanding. He leaves you
1:09:45
Speaker 2: with that disclaimer that no matter how you are diligent,
1:09:50
Speaker 2: there is only a small portion of God you will
1:09:52
Speaker 2: end up knowing relative to the vastness of His person.
1:09:57
Speaker 2: You will never arrive in that journey. Encourages you to
1:10:02
Speaker 2: go ahead with your exploration, but he leaves you already
1:10:05
Speaker 2: with a message not to discourage you, that this journey
1:10:09
Speaker 2: you will never arrive in it. There is no end
1:10:12
Speaker 2: to the such of God. Are we together? Now? That
1:10:16
Speaker 2: does not mean you should not start, But he's only
1:10:19
Speaker 2: informing you that you will ask you so. John, In
1:10:23
Speaker 2: learning and knowing God, you will come to the conclusion
1:10:26
Speaker 2: that there is no suching of his understanding. The second
1:10:31
Speaker 2: thing about God you need to know is that there
1:10:35
Speaker 2: are three qualities of God that standing out above all men.
1:10:40
Speaker 2: The single love difference between God and man. It's not
1:10:45
Speaker 2: just that He's creator and man is the creature. No,
1:10:49
Speaker 2: that God is omnipresent. I have taught you only potent
1:10:56
Speaker 2: and omniscient. These are the three attributes of God he
1:11:00
Speaker 2: did not share with man. So when the Bible says
1:11:02
Speaker 2: we are partakers of his divine nature, I hope you
1:11:06
Speaker 2: know that our protection of his divine nature is not absolute,
1:11:10
Speaker 2: is shared. It is not every part of his divine
1:11:13
Speaker 2: nature we're brought into. No, there is a dimension of
1:11:19
Speaker 2: God that no man has tasted, his omnipresence, his omnipotence,
1:11:25
Speaker 2: and his omnissions. To be omnipresent means to be everywhere
1:11:30
Speaker 2: at the same time. There is no man in recorded history,
1:11:34
Speaker 2: not from scripture and not from history, who has been
1:11:37
Speaker 2: given the privilege of enjoying omnipresence. Where can I hide
1:11:41
Speaker 2: from your presence? Even if I go to hate is
1:11:45
Speaker 2: the place of the death? The Sami says, still you
1:11:47
Speaker 2: are there. The closest person who perhaps would have qualified
1:11:50
Speaker 2: to experience it was the Psalmist, But even him was
1:11:53
Speaker 2: not granted that access. He was only shown the things
1:11:56
Speaker 2: that would come prophetically, And yet that was entire and shadows.
1:12:01
Speaker 2: God is only present, meaning all places at the same time.
1:12:06
Speaker 2: God does not have to move to see He has
1:12:09
Speaker 2: the all seen eye right from where he seeks. There
1:12:12
Speaker 2: is nothing. The Bible says, even the hair on our hair.
1:12:15
Speaker 2: You the owner of the head, how many hairs on
1:12:18
Speaker 2: your head? And yet the Bible says that eyes she
1:12:23
Speaker 2: can see, she knows when we hair fall. Is it
1:12:28
Speaker 2: that idle that he can count the hair? Even if
1:12:32
Speaker 2: it was one person? As a project, you will still fail.
1:12:35
Speaker 2: I'm explaining certain things for you about God. His only presence,
1:12:39
Speaker 2: the ability to be everywhere at the same time. Number two,
1:12:44
Speaker 2: God is only portent. The word portends means all powerful.
1:12:51
Speaker 2: Man is not all powerful. Our dominion, authority, and power
1:12:55
Speaker 2: is derived. It is always in partnership with the Holy Spirit.
1:13:00
Speaker 2: In isolation to the Holy Spirit, or in isolation to principles.
1:13:05
Speaker 2: We do not have power. The power that man wilds,
1:13:10
Speaker 2: whether scientifically or supernaturally, is always derived. Please understand this.
1:13:16
Speaker 2: So man is not only important. This is the reason
1:13:20
Speaker 2: why it is possible to pray for a hundred people
1:13:23
Speaker 2: who are sick, and sincerely, even if you find eighty percent,
1:13:26
Speaker 2: they might be one person. You see that. Now, Yes,
1:13:30
Speaker 2: there is a level of accuracy as far the dispensing
1:13:33
Speaker 2: of power that no man has as yet attained onto.
1:13:38
Speaker 2: The Bible tells us there is even a dimension of
1:13:40
Speaker 2: power reserve for an age that is not our own.
1:13:43
Speaker 2: He says, it's called the power of the Age to come,
1:13:46
Speaker 2: but that true diligence and alignment, men can taste of
1:13:49
Speaker 2: that power even within this age. I'm sure that those
1:13:54
Speaker 2: are the dimensions that will be important to sponsor the
1:13:57
Speaker 2: end time. Reviver the power of the Age to come
1:14:01
Speaker 2: away together. God is omnipotent, and then God is omnitient.
1:14:09
Speaker 2: It was Apostle Paul who was mentoring the church in courage,
1:14:12
Speaker 2: and he brought them into this understanding that we see
1:14:15
Speaker 2: impact and we prophesy impact. Can you imagine that that
1:14:19
Speaker 2: means the best of our revelatory grace, the best of
1:14:23
Speaker 2: whatever it is that we have, is still a part
1:14:25
Speaker 2: and a portion. This is profound. We know impact and
1:14:30
Speaker 2: we prophesy impact. Like I taught you when we're discussing.
1:14:34
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that I am now in this place,
1:14:36
Speaker 2: there are several overflows to the basement and perhaps outside
1:14:39
Speaker 2: of the many who are connecting from across the globe.
1:14:42
Speaker 2: Can you imagine that if I am to interpret the
1:14:45
Speaker 2: crowd of people here, I can only work based on
1:14:47
Speaker 2: what my eye has seen. Do you know why you
1:14:50
Speaker 2: do not have eyes all over you to remind you
1:14:53
Speaker 2: that you are finite, finite insight, finite envision. You would
1:14:58
Speaker 2: think God would have put an eye like a crown
1:15:00
Speaker 2: all around you so that you don't have to turn
1:15:02
Speaker 2: to the back, But even at that you will still
1:15:04
Speaker 2: be limited. Next time, you are looking for the difference
1:15:12
Speaker 2: between man and God, even if you do not know him,
1:15:15
Speaker 2: know this for a fact that there are things He
1:15:18
Speaker 2: did not share with man. It is what makes him exclusive.
1:15:21
Speaker 2: God by himself, he is only present, He is omnipotent,
1:15:27
Speaker 2: He is omniscient. You don't need to mentor God. There
1:15:31
Speaker 2: is no book in heaven where God reads to get
1:15:33
Speaker 2: more knowledge. No, all that are documented in heaven is
1:15:37
Speaker 2: for the saints. Are we together now? Yes? Who will
1:15:40
Speaker 2: mentor him? Have you ever seen him in a lecture room?
1:15:43
Speaker 2: Jesus only received knowledge and lecture when he became a man,
1:15:46
Speaker 2: because he came as a patent man to help men
1:15:50
Speaker 2: assent to the heights of God. But as God, God
1:15:53
Speaker 2: does not know. His knowledge is not progressive, it is absolute.
1:15:56
Speaker 2: All things come from Him. It is in his light
1:15:59
Speaker 2: that we see lights. So what you call past present
1:16:04
Speaker 2: and future. It's only a reality that was framed to
1:16:07
Speaker 2: help you relate with God. The truth is that that
1:16:10
Speaker 2: reality does not exist with God. God does not even
1:16:13
Speaker 2: dwell in the realm of eternity because eternity is still
1:16:16
Speaker 2: a function of time. It's just a summation of time
1:16:19
Speaker 2: without end. God lives beyond eternity. His rem is now, Allelujah.
1:16:28
Speaker 2: All things are present before him. So what you call
1:16:32
Speaker 2: future and what you call yesterday yesterday only left you.
1:16:36
Speaker 2: In God's mind Yesterday and tomorrow his hands can reach
1:16:39
Speaker 2: into them. There is no difference. Technology has help you
1:16:44
Speaker 2: to understand how God relates. You can rewind a movie.
1:16:47
Speaker 2: There's something called rewind. Is that true? There's something called
1:16:50
Speaker 2: fast forward. These are all agencies to help you manipulate time.
1:16:54
Speaker 2: So if you saw something and escaped you, you can
1:16:56
Speaker 2: enjoy it and rewind it as many times. Unfortunately, that
1:17:00
Speaker 2: only happens with a movie, not your life. When it
1:17:02
Speaker 2: passes is gone. Only the God of Heaven can reach
1:17:05
Speaker 2: back into time. Allelujah. I wrote here, and I want
1:17:17
Speaker 2: you to write please for our profiting and dominion here
1:17:22
Speaker 2: on earth. There are three aspects of God we must
1:17:26
Speaker 2: focus on. Having established the fact that there is no
1:17:30
Speaker 2: such an of his understanding. Having established the fact that
1:17:34
Speaker 2: learning God and knowing God is an eternal pursuit, that
1:17:37
Speaker 2: even in heaven, there are a series of lectures through
1:17:40
Speaker 2: all the ages that will keep helping us to know God.
1:17:44
Speaker 2: Where there is no darkness, where there is no evil,
1:17:46
Speaker 2: where Satan and all demon spirits have been dealt with,
1:17:50
Speaker 2: a new age has come. The activity in heaven will
1:17:53
Speaker 2: not only be worshiping God. We will still be learning
1:17:56
Speaker 2: God knowledge for the believer remains. Are we together? It
1:18:02
Speaker 2: will never come to an end. There will never be
1:18:04
Speaker 2: anything like perfection of knowledge of God. We will have
1:18:08
Speaker 2: perfect knowledge of all things as far as the world
1:18:11
Speaker 2: God created, but not his person. As far as his
1:18:15
Speaker 2: person is concerned, we will learn him through all the ages.
1:18:19
Speaker 2: What kind of a God is that there is no
1:18:23
Speaker 2: such of his understanding? Ladies and gentlemen, what you are
1:18:28
Speaker 2: learning tonight was a personal conclusion of my own journey.
1:18:32
Speaker 2: I got to a point where I was not satisfied
1:18:35
Speaker 2: with my knowledge of God. I was tired about talking
1:18:38
Speaker 2: about a God whose certain dimensions had not seen And
1:18:42
Speaker 2: many people ask me several questions and said, Apostle, how
1:18:46
Speaker 2: come I want to know God, but I don't know
1:18:49
Speaker 2: what to do for someone. You say, Okay, go on first,
1:18:52
Speaker 2: you will know God. And at faster and I still
1:18:54
Speaker 2: do not know God. I want to know God. Another
1:18:57
Speaker 2: person says, read your Bible. He says, no, I understand,
1:19:00
Speaker 2: and all this I want to know him. I want
1:19:02
Speaker 2: to be confident. And then the Holy Spirit began to
1:19:08
Speaker 2: leave me through a journey that arrived at this message
1:19:11
Speaker 2: tonight that as far as the profiting of the believers
1:19:15
Speaker 2: concerned on earth, the interest of God, as far as
1:19:19
Speaker 2: knowing Him, is only captured in three dimensions. If you
1:19:23
Speaker 2: press to know these three things, sufficient is that pursuit
1:19:26
Speaker 2: of God within the frame of this lifetime. Can I
1:19:30
Speaker 2: give them to you? Number one, The first aspect of
1:19:34
Speaker 2: God that God desires all sains to know is his character.
1:19:39
Speaker 2: Please write. When God mandates that we know him, the
1:19:45
Speaker 2: first thing he demands that we know one understand about
1:19:48
Speaker 2: him is his character. Please write it down. I'm taking
1:19:52
Speaker 2: away the confusion about knowing God. Every time the Bible
1:19:56
Speaker 2: demands that the Sains know God. Every time your hung
1:19:59
Speaker 2: gy in the spirit presses that you know God, I'm
1:20:03
Speaker 2: taking away the confusion. The first thing you should press
1:20:06
Speaker 2: to know is his character. Exodus chapter thirty three, eighteen
1:20:12
Speaker 2: and nineteen, his character Moses said, and I beseech THEE
1:20:19
Speaker 2: show me your glory. Moses is crying now for the
1:20:22
Speaker 2: glory of God nineteen and he said, I will make
1:20:27
Speaker 2: all my goodness, Please say all my goodness. What kind
1:20:32
Speaker 2: of description is that? That means the goodness of God
1:20:35
Speaker 2: as an aspect of his character. It's even dimensional. So
1:20:39
Speaker 2: when you claim you have seen the goodness of God,
1:20:42
Speaker 2: is only an aspect of his goodness. I will make
1:20:45
Speaker 2: all my goodness to pass before THEE. What did Moses
1:20:49
Speaker 2: ask for his glory? The glory of God is all
1:20:53
Speaker 2: that makes God God. And he says, no, Moses, I
1:20:56
Speaker 2: discern your heart. I know what your heart seeks to understand.
1:20:59
Speaker 2: I will let all oh my goodness, ladies and gentlemen.
1:21:02
Speaker 2: Genesis to Deuteronomy came from this encounter. Just an aspect
1:21:08
Speaker 2: of God's goodness being revealed was what Moses saw. And
1:21:12
Speaker 2: from that encounter five books came out. Moses was not
1:21:19
Speaker 2: there from the beginning. He was not there all through
1:21:22
Speaker 2: the time of you know, all through Scripture, Abraham and
1:21:25
Speaker 2: the rest. He was not there. Yet look at the
1:21:28
Speaker 2: accuracy of his writing simply because a dimension of his
1:21:31
Speaker 2: goodness passed before him. Either chapter forty, we read twenty eight. Already,
1:21:42
Speaker 2: let's do to thirty. It's God helping someone. So when
1:21:45
Speaker 2: you know God, you desire to know God. The first
1:21:49
Speaker 2: thing you should pursue is the knowledge of his character.
1:21:53
Speaker 2: Verse twenty eight. Now hast thou not known, hast thou
1:21:57
Speaker 2: not heard that the everlasting God, the Lord, the creator
1:22:02
Speaker 2: of the ends of the earth, fainted? Not neither is
1:22:05
Speaker 2: he weary. There is no searching of his understanding. The
1:22:08
Speaker 2: Bible says twenty nine. He giveth power whoever that he is.
1:22:13
Speaker 2: Give that power to the faint, and to them that
1:22:16
Speaker 2: have no mighty increase that strength. Rechatting with me, even
1:22:20
Speaker 2: the youth shall faint and be weary. Are we together?
1:22:24
Speaker 2: And then he says that the young men shall a
1:22:28
Speaker 2: tally fall, the young men shall or tally fall. Look
1:22:33
Speaker 2: at what God does. He gives power to the faith,
1:22:36
Speaker 2: to them who have no mighty increases strength. These are
1:22:40
Speaker 2: all expressions of his character. We are piecing together the
1:22:44
Speaker 2: various manifestations of his character, and with the imagination of
1:22:48
Speaker 2: an artist, we are drawing a personality using his character.
1:22:52
Speaker 2: Are we together now? As an artist, work with me.
1:22:57
Speaker 2: If I tell you draw a man for me, give
1:23:00
Speaker 2: me a pictorial image of a man who is kind, loving,
1:23:05
Speaker 2: probably holding his children. Now I'm helping your mind to
1:23:08
Speaker 2: be creative. Are we together now? As an artist, Immediately
1:23:12
Speaker 2: you can use a man's character as the tools to
1:23:16
Speaker 2: paint a picture of him that even though you have
1:23:19
Speaker 2: never seen him, I can describe for you a man.
1:23:23
Speaker 2: And using the character of that man, you can go
1:23:26
Speaker 2: into an office and start looking and you say, this
1:23:28
Speaker 2: most likely is a man. Based on what you said,
1:23:31
Speaker 2: the man always likes to wear a white suit. It
1:23:35
Speaker 2: is usual for him to wear a white suit. Most likely,
1:23:38
Speaker 2: if he sees you, you will greet you and say
1:23:39
Speaker 2: have you eaten? I have fed you with the knowledge
1:23:42
Speaker 2: of that man's character. When you step into that office,
1:23:45
Speaker 2: you are looking at everybody who behaves like that. And
1:23:48
Speaker 2: when you certainly find a man coming with a white
1:23:50
Speaker 2: suit and says, young man, have you eaten? You can
1:23:53
Speaker 2: with confidence said, good afternoon, mister James, and he says, afternoon,
1:23:57
Speaker 2: how are you? How did you know the knowledge of
1:23:59
Speaker 2: you character? Are you learning now? The character of God
1:24:05
Speaker 2: is very profound in Psalms one forty five. Let's go
1:24:11
Speaker 2: to verse eight. Please work with me. The Holy Spirit
1:24:14
Speaker 2: is teaching of something now. The Lord is gracious. I'm
1:24:18
Speaker 2: showing you a concise display. You see why this Psamish
1:24:22
Speaker 2: guy was very powerful. I don't know what business he
1:24:25
Speaker 2: did with God, but this guy explored God. He was him.
1:24:29
Speaker 2: The Psalms gives us about the rich capture of the
1:24:33
Speaker 2: entire character of God. You really want to understand the
1:24:37
Speaker 2: character of God, in fact, even more than the paullin
1:24:40
Speaker 2: Epistles the Psalmist the Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
1:24:46
Speaker 2: slow to anger. You are describing God now and of
1:24:50
Speaker 2: great mercy. Start working with your imagination. This is the
1:24:54
Speaker 2: God you are called to serve. Verse nine. The Lord
1:24:59
Speaker 2: is good all wow and his tender mercies are over
1:25:04
Speaker 2: all his works. There is a dimension of God's compassion
1:25:08
Speaker 2: that everything he created most experience. No one that even Satan,
1:25:12
Speaker 2: has a length of time before his destruction. This is
1:25:15
Speaker 2: consistent with how God works, meaning it is not usual
1:25:18
Speaker 2: for God to judge, goodge and destroy people because he's angry.
1:25:22
Speaker 2: God always allows time for repentance. If you know this
1:25:25
Speaker 2: about God, certain dimensions of here dies immediately. Verse ten,
1:25:32
Speaker 2: all thy works shall praise thee o Lord, and the
1:25:35
Speaker 2: same shall bless the Please be patient. Let's read eleven. Now, Media,
1:25:39
Speaker 2: let's work together. They shall speak of the glory of
1:25:42
Speaker 2: thy kingdom and talk of your power. Verse twelve. To
1:25:46
Speaker 2: make known to the sons of men He's mighty act
1:25:49
Speaker 2: and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Aha. It says,
1:25:53
Speaker 2: thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endured
1:25:58
Speaker 2: throughout all generations. Fourteen. The Lord of holded all that fall,
1:26:05
Speaker 2: and raise it of those that be bowed down. He's
1:26:08
Speaker 2: painting the character of God. The unknon God is now
1:26:12
Speaker 2: beginning to find form in your mind. The unknown God
1:26:15
Speaker 2: is beginning to be described, so that he's no longer
1:26:19
Speaker 2: You are not building an altered devotion and worship to
1:26:22
Speaker 2: an unknown God. Every time you say Father, your mind,
1:26:25
Speaker 2: your spirit is connecting to somebody if you have used
1:26:30
Speaker 2: his attributes to painted picture that your mind can relate with.
1:26:33
Speaker 2: Let's finish the scripture. The eyes of all weight upon
1:26:39
Speaker 2: thee and thou givest them their meat. In due season,
1:26:45
Speaker 2: Thou openest thy hand and satisfy at the desire of
1:26:49
Speaker 2: every living thing. Seventeen. The Lord is righteous in all
1:26:54
Speaker 2: his ways and holy in all his works. Eighteen The
1:26:58
Speaker 2: Lord is nigh onto them that call upon him. This
1:27:03
Speaker 2: alone gives you confidence in prayer that it is inconsistent
1:27:07
Speaker 2: with his character to be far from you while you pray.
1:27:10
Speaker 2: That every time he hears prayer coming from a sincere believer,
1:27:13
Speaker 2: he is nih them that call upon him, and then
1:27:16
Speaker 2: to them that call upon him in truth. So if
1:27:20
Speaker 2: you are calling upon him and he looks like he's
1:27:22
Speaker 2: not hearing, verify truth in what you are doing. He
1:27:26
Speaker 2: will fulfill the desire of them that hear him, and
1:27:30
Speaker 2: also will hear their cry and will save them. The
1:27:34
Speaker 2: last verse, the Bible says, the Lord preservet all them
1:27:38
Speaker 2: that love him, and all the wicked will he destroy.
1:27:41
Speaker 2: That means there is dead in loving God. The Bible says,
1:27:45
Speaker 2: preservation is an advantage that is given those who love God. Allelujah.
1:27:52
Speaker 2: Say his character. You want to know God accurately, The
1:27:58
Speaker 2: first part of call is to seek to know his character.
1:28:03
Speaker 2: To seek to know his character right for reference, we're
1:28:07
Speaker 2: not reading but some one O three from verse one
1:28:10
Speaker 2: to twenty two, But allow me read one to five
1:28:13
Speaker 2: with you Psalms one O three, one to five. Hallelujah.
1:28:18
Speaker 2: We sing it as a beautiful hymn, unfortunately still to
1:28:23
Speaker 2: an unknown God. Bless the Lord, he says, all my
1:28:27
Speaker 2: soul and all that is within me, bless his holy name.
1:28:31
Speaker 2: Verse two, Bless the Lord, oh my soul, and forget
1:28:35
Speaker 2: not his benefits. Say benefits. That means God never caused
1:28:39
Speaker 2: the seed of Jacob to seek him in vain. Every
1:28:42
Speaker 2: time you keep seeking God, know that you are seeking
1:28:45
Speaker 2: him number one because you love him, but that He's
1:28:48
Speaker 2: benevolent enough to leave benefits. And there are five of them.
1:28:52
Speaker 2: Number one, the Bible says verse three, Now who forgive
1:28:56
Speaker 2: that all the iniquities, that is the first benefit? Number two,
1:29:01
Speaker 2: who he led all thy diseases. Number three, who redeemed
1:29:07
Speaker 2: thy life from destruction. Number four, who crowned thee with
1:29:12
Speaker 2: loving kindness and tender messes honor? Number five, who satisfied
1:29:18
Speaker 2: thy mouth with good things, so that thy youth is
1:29:21
Speaker 2: renewed like the eagles. Keep it there. You can use
1:29:25
Speaker 2: SAMs one or three, one to five to paint a
1:29:28
Speaker 2: picture of the kind of God you want to be living.
1:29:33
Speaker 2: So he forgives, so he heals, so he redeems. Now
1:29:38
Speaker 2: that I'm having some growth, Ah, I can come boldly.
1:29:42
Speaker 2: I know that He heals. So when Jesus showed up
1:29:45
Speaker 2: when he's saw sick people to prove that God loves
1:29:49
Speaker 2: to heal, to prove that God loves to forgive, he says,
1:29:52
Speaker 2: your sins are taken away from you. And the people
1:29:55
Speaker 2: did not understand what she was doing. It was more
1:29:57
Speaker 2: than just speaking to the man. He was valid dating
1:30:00
Speaker 2: the character of God. If Jesus never made that statement,
1:30:04
Speaker 2: would doubt God's ability to forgive, because it must be
1:30:07
Speaker 2: captured in the life of Jesus. If it is true,
1:30:11
Speaker 2: he forgives, he heals, he delivers, He crowns you with
1:30:17
Speaker 2: loving kindness and with glory, tender mercies, and verse five
1:30:21
Speaker 2: the Bible says, he satisfies your mouth with good things.
1:30:26
Speaker 2: I don't know about you, but ladies and gentlemen, my
1:30:28
Speaker 2: Christian life changed when I truly understood the character of God.
1:30:33
Speaker 2: I took our time to study away. Together. I can
1:30:38
Speaker 2: teach you about a God that I know, and your
1:30:41
Speaker 2: entire theology, your praise, your worship, your attitude will reflect
1:30:47
Speaker 2: the description of God that you have been taught. Are
1:30:50
Speaker 2: we together now there are songs that when I sing,
1:30:55
Speaker 2: I believe what I'm saying because I have an idea
1:30:59
Speaker 2: by the spell quickened by the Holy Spirit. I know
1:31:03
Speaker 2: the kind of God that I'm speaking to. Allelujah. I've
1:31:06
Speaker 2: told you this. I know that God loves me. I
1:31:09
Speaker 2: don't know what He did to me, but I have
1:31:11
Speaker 2: been so indoctrinated by the love of God for me.
1:31:15
Speaker 2: If I hear a voice here and he says I
1:31:18
Speaker 2: love you, I will reply him and said, thank you.
1:31:21
Speaker 2: I know you were speaking to me, even if it's
1:31:24
Speaker 2: not my name that is called. Are you that confident
1:31:29
Speaker 2: about the love of God? No one that the apostles said,
1:31:32
Speaker 2: the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God,
1:31:36
Speaker 2: and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit. Let that consciousness
1:31:39
Speaker 2: remain with you, dear preacher. Let me tell you, when
1:31:42
Speaker 2: you understand the character of God, there is no limit
1:31:45
Speaker 2: to what you can do. Jesus, representing God, said, I
1:31:48
Speaker 2: will never leave you. Is that true? He says that
1:31:52
Speaker 2: a comfort I will come. I know that I am
1:31:54
Speaker 2: never alone. The character of God has given me confidence.
1:31:59
Speaker 2: When and said there is a casting down, I said,
1:32:02
Speaker 2: there is a lifting up. God loves me. God loves me.
1:32:06
Speaker 2: I am not only a child of God, I am
1:32:09
Speaker 2: evolving in experience to becoming a friend of God. And
1:32:13
Speaker 2: most people have no idea that being a friend of
1:32:16
Speaker 2: God is a noble status. Not many people in scripture
1:32:20
Speaker 2: where ever called a friend of God, because there is
1:32:22
Speaker 2: a friend that even sticks closer than a brother. Do
1:32:25
Speaker 2: you know what it means to be a friend of God?
1:32:28
Speaker 2: That means God takes away the restraint as far as
1:32:30
Speaker 2: showing you the mysteries and the secrets that are concerning
1:32:34
Speaker 2: your life and any territory. When you become a friend
1:32:37
Speaker 2: of God, it becomes impossible for God to visit the
1:32:40
Speaker 2: territory and not consult with you, not because you are
1:32:43
Speaker 2: going to give him permission. Shall I hide this from
1:32:46
Speaker 2: my friend Abraham? I am a friend. I am a
1:32:54
Speaker 2: friend of girl. I am a friend. He calls me friend.
1:33:06
Speaker 2: I am a friend of I am a friend of God.
1:33:14
Speaker 2: I am a friend of God. He calls me friend. Allelujah.
1:33:24
Speaker 2: If you have a vision about me today and you
1:33:26
Speaker 2: see me dying, and you say, Apostle, I saw an obituary.
1:33:29
Speaker 2: I saw you dying, It's not whether you are fake
1:33:32
Speaker 2: or real. No matter how real you are, I will
1:33:35
Speaker 2: love you and congratulate you and hog you and say
1:33:37
Speaker 2: thank you for showing me this. But there is something
1:33:39
Speaker 2: I know about God. Hezekiah knew this about God. And
1:33:44
Speaker 2: even when a genuine prophet came and said, put your
1:33:47
Speaker 2: house in order, I'm sorry to tell you you will
1:33:50
Speaker 2: not recover. He was only a messenger. The Bible never
1:33:53
Speaker 2: calls Isaiah a liar. Isaiah was a prophet with integrity.
1:33:57
Speaker 2: But Hezekia, I said, I've listened to you God on
1:34:00
Speaker 2: his face of the world. He says, God, Remember there
1:34:03
Speaker 2: is something I know about your character. Let me tell
1:34:06
Speaker 2: you this. Share will give you heart attack and chill
1:34:09
Speaker 2: you for nothing except you know the character of God.
1:34:13
Speaker 2: Yay do I walk through the valley of the Shadow
1:34:16
Speaker 2: of Death. I hear no evil for thou hold on,
1:34:20
Speaker 2: hold on, who is the tao omnipotend omnised Thou art
1:34:25
Speaker 2: with me. I have loved you with a never lasting love.
1:34:30
Speaker 2: I expect faithor every day of my life. That is
1:34:33
Speaker 2: not the basis of my working with God. But I
1:34:36
Speaker 2: know that there is no genuine love without giving. And
1:34:39
Speaker 2: since his love is eternal, his favor and his benefits
1:34:42
Speaker 2: must be eternal. They go hand in glove. I'm sharing
1:34:45
Speaker 2: with you my orientation about God. Allelujah. There are many
1:34:58
Speaker 2: of us who are still worshiping and no God. And
1:35:01
Speaker 2: while God has positioned us as men of God to
1:35:03
Speaker 2: help give perspective to your knowledge about God, nothing will
1:35:07
Speaker 2: truly give you confidence until you are guided to know
1:35:10
Speaker 2: the character of God. There are men that if they
1:35:13
Speaker 2: tell you anything about them, the first thing you would
1:35:16
Speaker 2: be glad to say sorry later. But you say, I
1:35:18
Speaker 2: know this person. Forget it, You are just talking nonsense. Allelujah.
1:35:23
Speaker 3: Ah.
1:35:23
Speaker 2: This man collected a bribe of five thousand, This man
1:35:25
Speaker 2: that I know well where all humans were until proven
1:35:28
Speaker 2: not the wise. I know this director. You will not bribe.
1:35:32
Speaker 2: Do you know God enough to stand and tell the
1:35:36
Speaker 2: dream that you saw that in that dream you saw
1:35:39
Speaker 2: everybody going down? And if Spirit appears and tells you
1:35:42
Speaker 2: God said, you say, hold on with God. If it's
1:35:46
Speaker 2: another God, that's fine. But to me, my al tie
1:35:49
Speaker 2: is not to one non God. My al tie is
1:35:51
Speaker 2: to a loving God, a compassionate and messy for God.
1:35:55
Speaker 2: And you can arise as a warrior, so when the
1:35:57
Speaker 2: devil comes to threaten you like like like the patriarchs
1:36:01
Speaker 2: of all you can arise the fullness of my days
1:36:05
Speaker 2: a will fulfill I lay me down and I slept
1:36:08
Speaker 2: for the same God sustain me. Allelujah, He of olds
1:36:15
Speaker 2: all things, including the gates of the grave, by the
1:36:18
Speaker 2: word of His power. For I am a man on
1:36:23
Speaker 2: the authority. The centurion said, I know the integrity of
1:36:26
Speaker 2: the Roman government. And on the strength of my consciousness
1:36:30
Speaker 2: of your power and your integrity, I can set to
1:36:33
Speaker 2: one go and he goeth to another comm and he
1:36:35
Speaker 2: cometh Jesus, I know you. You are a man of
1:36:38
Speaker 2: the authority. And Jesus said, I've not found this kind
1:36:41
Speaker 2: of faith, this orientation. No, not in Israel. Can I
1:36:44
Speaker 2: tell you. I used to live a life full of
1:36:47
Speaker 2: here and uncertainties, but something about the character of God
1:36:51
Speaker 2: gave me stability. Apurse of what gives you hope that
1:36:55
Speaker 2: Coinonia will remain serving the purposes of God and rising.
1:36:58
Speaker 2: If I tell you, because I'm annoying that I give
1:37:00
Speaker 2: you a foolish answer that is too small an answer
1:37:03
Speaker 2: to sponsor longevity in a world that you do not know.
1:37:07
Speaker 2: I don't know the future, but there is something I
1:37:09
Speaker 2: know about God Alpha Omega God. When that's a thing
1:37:17
Speaker 2: He's able to finish number two. There is something I
1:37:21
Speaker 2: know about God as revealed by the apostles. It says,
1:37:26
Speaker 2: listen carefully. It says that I how did we put
1:37:31
Speaker 2: in an I am persuaded. Help me with that scripture.
1:37:35
Speaker 2: Now my mind is trying to get the scripture. Yes,
1:37:39
Speaker 2: that he is able to keep that which is committed
1:37:42
Speaker 2: onto him against that day? Do you know? Yes? Thank you?
1:37:47
Speaker 2: I know whom I have believed. That's what the scripture
1:37:50
Speaker 2: was looking for, and I am persuaded. It says, faithfully,
1:37:55
Speaker 2: see that connects you who will also do it? So
1:38:01
Speaker 2: when we start out building project, no matter the millions
1:38:04
Speaker 2: of dollars, faithfully see that call it? Who will do it?
1:38:07
Speaker 2: You will watch with shock and with wonder as the
1:38:10
Speaker 2: faithful man arises. Why do I know that every day
1:38:14
Speaker 2: you will keep coming to be blessed as much as
1:38:16
Speaker 2: you know this platform remains. Do you know why? Because
1:38:20
Speaker 2: everything God gives Endels, ladies and gentlemen. Are you kiding
1:38:25
Speaker 2: your life on sand? Or are you building it on
1:38:28
Speaker 2: the rock? I know that I am an eternal blessing.
1:38:33
Speaker 2: Why do I know that? Because God is not a
1:38:36
Speaker 2: man that he should lie? And when he called Abraham
1:38:39
Speaker 2: Genesis after twelfth two and three. He said, I would
1:38:41
Speaker 2: bless them that bless you, and curse him that curses you.
1:38:44
Speaker 2: And then he says, thou shall be a blessing. And
1:38:48
Speaker 2: he says, indeed, shall all the families of the earth
1:38:51
Speaker 2: be blessed Galicians three twenty nine. And if ye be Christ,
1:38:55
Speaker 2: then are ye Abraham's seed and heirs. According to the promise,
1:39:00
Speaker 2: everything he told Abraham routed to Christ is my reality today.
1:39:05
Speaker 2: So I am a blessing. I cannot be a curse.
1:39:08
Speaker 2: Any nation, in any place is a blessed is he
1:39:11
Speaker 2: who comes in the name of the Lord. Every time
1:39:13
Speaker 2: I step into a nation, I step in with a
1:39:16
Speaker 2: spiritual shout of Ho's Hannah. Is always a triumphant entry
1:39:20
Speaker 2: because it is blessed is he who comes in the
1:39:24
Speaker 2: name of the Lord. Your spiritual life will change when
1:39:28
Speaker 2: you understand this. Allelujah. My life changed when I understood
1:39:34
Speaker 2: the character of God. Another revelation about God that he
1:39:38
Speaker 2: is a lifter of men. Ah. Yeah, if you ever
1:39:41
Speaker 2: doubt him, look at the present speaking to you. How
1:39:44
Speaker 2: dare you say God does not lift. God is the
1:39:48
Speaker 2: lifter of men. Like he's lifting you? Now? I said,
1:39:53
Speaker 2: like he's lifting you now. It doesn't matter who believes
1:39:58
Speaker 2: it or who does not believe. It is none of
1:40:00
Speaker 2: your business. Like he's lifting you now by your spirit.
1:40:10
Speaker 2: I will write from the ashes of defeat the rest.
1:40:18
Speaker 4: He's rest in your name, my calm, a life.
1:40:24
Speaker 2: To declare yourty, to read the.
1:40:29
Speaker 5: Period, your me, my common life, to declare your thing
1:40:38
Speaker 5: to the rest.
1:40:41
Speaker 2: It's read regards not to mom in my enemy. Now,
1:40:48
Speaker 2: there is something about God that I know. There is
1:40:52
Speaker 2: something about the lift that I know. My family may
1:40:56
Speaker 2: be the lowest, but I know something about God. I
1:41:00
Speaker 2: am not saving an unknown God. My alta, my devotion,
1:41:04
Speaker 2: is not an unknown God. He is the rewarder of
1:41:08
Speaker 2: them that diligently takey hallelujah. Hear me when they say
1:41:16
Speaker 2: has come to you, and say you've been saving God
1:41:18
Speaker 2: for twenty years? What is the benefit God rewards? He
1:41:23
Speaker 2: does not pay Salary's salary, that is monthly. God's reward
1:41:27
Speaker 2: may look like it's not coming, but in one day,
1:41:30
Speaker 2: after twenty years, even if you are Abraham, he may
1:41:34
Speaker 2: take twenty five years. But ladies and gentleman, when the
1:41:38
Speaker 2: reward comes, he will come with his reward and his
1:41:42
Speaker 2: benefits and make your life prays to the relations allelujah.
1:41:51
Speaker 2: For many years we saved God and gave him everything,
1:41:54
Speaker 2: and there was no comeliness and nothing in our lives
1:41:57
Speaker 2: that look like God rewards. But something about you his
1:42:00
Speaker 2: character for someone who have been praying and fasting and
1:42:04
Speaker 2: pressing in life and ministry, because God said He's giving
1:42:09
Speaker 2: you the mantle and the mandate of a deliverer. Do
1:42:11
Speaker 2: not allow ignorant person confuse you about this God who
1:42:15
Speaker 2: are serving. The reward is on his way to you.
1:42:17
Speaker 2: Yours is to be diligent. Others we're bribing in the office,
1:42:21
Speaker 2: and you refuse to bribe. Now you are chilling, stupid,
1:42:24
Speaker 2: because you would have lived in a duplex by now
1:42:26
Speaker 2: you would have had cast even only you caught corner.
1:42:33
Speaker 2: I'm taking away the haziness from this God. He is
1:42:37
Speaker 2: not an unknown God. He can be known using the
1:42:41
Speaker 2: vista of his character. You can know God by knowing
1:42:45
Speaker 2: his character. It is true that God destroys, but who
1:42:50
Speaker 2: does he destroy? Let me tell you three categories of
1:42:53
Speaker 2: people in the Bible that God destroys. Number one enemies.
1:42:57
Speaker 2: And when God destroys enemies, it's not just something that
1:43:00
Speaker 2: happens enemies there. Let it define for you who God's enemies. Ah,
1:43:04
Speaker 2: this is not my discussion, but I want you to know.
1:43:08
Speaker 2: God's enemy is not just the person who fights you.
1:43:12
Speaker 2: God's enemy is anybody who perpetually interrupts the manifestation of
1:43:17
Speaker 2: his will. God's definition of an enemy is not based
1:43:21
Speaker 2: on sentiments or biases. You can become God's enemy if
1:43:26
Speaker 2: you consistently become an interruption to his will. If he
1:43:31
Speaker 2: loves you because he's you're his child, he may not
1:43:34
Speaker 2: judge you in terms of thraw you, but you will
1:43:36
Speaker 2: be edged out of the position that creates that interruption
1:43:40
Speaker 2: by giving your bishopric to another. This is how God works.
1:43:45
Speaker 2: I thought you this order already our last discussion. Are
1:43:48
Speaker 2: we together now? Yes? So when you say all rise
1:43:53
Speaker 2: and let your enemies be scattered, make sure you are
1:43:55
Speaker 2: not part of them first. That's why the Bible talks
1:43:58
Speaker 2: about righteousness. Who shall sent to the heel of the Lord.
1:44:01
Speaker 2: Don't just pray blandly and the victim of your prayer.
1:44:04
Speaker 2: You see that there's a lot of prayer fulness, but
1:44:06
Speaker 2: in ignorance many people prayer miss. You think just because
1:44:10
Speaker 2: you hate a man, God hates the man you can
1:44:12
Speaker 2: be said, Oh, God, kill that director for me. Now
1:44:14
Speaker 2: help me and kill this man. And God he said, no,
1:44:17
Speaker 2: even though he's not my son. He says, Cyrus that
1:44:19
Speaker 2: have ordained, and for as long as this system works,
1:44:23
Speaker 2: it is in honor to them that you will rise.
1:44:26
Speaker 2: There are cyrus cit who, although they are not in Christ,
1:44:30
Speaker 2: they have, through the sincerity of their heart, are line
1:44:33
Speaker 2: struck technically to God's program. You will not take them out.
1:44:36
Speaker 2: He will leave them there. Their relevance is too important.
1:44:39
Speaker 2: This is a mystery. In God's end time programs, you
1:44:44
Speaker 2: will see many people who are not of the faith
1:44:47
Speaker 2: playing sensitive roles because the most important thing. Listen. When
1:44:51
Speaker 2: he appeared onto Joshua, do you not read your Bible?
1:44:54
Speaker 2: He said, are you for us or against us? What
1:44:56
Speaker 2: was the answer? He said, neither. No, This is not
1:44:59
Speaker 2: how I work. I am for anything that is prone
1:45:02
Speaker 2: my will. So he said, who is on the Lord's side?
1:45:05
Speaker 2: Get my message? Who is on the Lord side? You
1:45:08
Speaker 2: have to before you invoke God's judgment, verify your position.
1:45:12
Speaker 2: Many believers have become casualties of careless prophetic speakings. Lord,
1:45:20
Speaker 2: this Troy, any body that stops your program, destroy anybody,
1:45:25
Speaker 2: and God is say, I'm warning you, you don't know
1:45:27
Speaker 2: what you are doing. Very five, before Moses invoke judgment,
1:45:33
Speaker 2: he said, who is on the Lord side, Let me
1:45:35
Speaker 2: give you a chance if you are for him. And
1:45:38
Speaker 2: Elijah said, if God be God this way, if the
1:45:41
Speaker 2: God will always give an opportunity for the will of
1:45:44
Speaker 2: man to willfully reject him before judgment is messed upon people,
1:45:50
Speaker 2: are we together? Now? We see his character in niver again,
1:45:54
Speaker 2: as as I don't let trust, and as stiff necked
1:45:57
Speaker 2: and stop on as they are. He said Jonah, he
1:46:00
Speaker 2: loved Yonah, but Jonah's life went down and said, genuine prophets,
1:46:05
Speaker 2: you don't have to be faith to destroy, You just
1:46:07
Speaker 2: have to be out of the will of God. Many
1:46:10
Speaker 2: good people will be corruptors of God's program simply because
1:46:14
Speaker 2: they do not understand the power of alignment. This is
1:46:16
Speaker 2: not about being real fake. This is about being If
1:46:19
Speaker 2: you are Jonah rejecting the call of God and running away,
1:46:23
Speaker 2: you are putting Niniveh at ransom. God wanted to met
1:46:26
Speaker 2: out judgment or otherwise, because he sits on a throne
1:46:29
Speaker 2: that is made of righteousness and justice. I hope you
1:46:32
Speaker 2: know that the very thron God sits on is an altar?
1:46:36
Speaker 2: Are we together? And Jonah was delaying the manifestation. He
1:46:41
Speaker 2: needed to give them a chance to choose him or otherwise.
1:46:45
Speaker 2: And look what God the dealing that God had to
1:46:47
Speaker 2: go through with Yonah. Jonah entered the value of the fish,
1:46:51
Speaker 2: caused people to lose until he repented, realigned, and the
1:46:55
Speaker 2: same instruction again, and he went to Niniveh. Jonahs refused
1:47:00
Speaker 2: was because of something about God. He knew. He knew
1:47:04
Speaker 2: that God was messyful, and he roped that his delay
1:47:07
Speaker 2: would make God angry and ponies because God does not
1:47:09
Speaker 2: forbear with iniquity indefinitely. So he was running and says
1:47:13
Speaker 2: strategy that the evil will continue to rise as an
1:47:18
Speaker 2: indignation and God will be angry and punish them. But
1:47:22
Speaker 2: God said Jonah go, And the moment Jonah spoke to them,
1:47:26
Speaker 2: the king said everyone please turn man declare first, and
1:47:30
Speaker 2: Jonah was angry. What read your Bible? The entire discussion
1:47:33
Speaker 2: was the anger of Jonah. He said, I know you
1:47:35
Speaker 2: this is what This is why I ran because I
1:47:39
Speaker 2: knew that if they now repent with all this wickedness
1:47:42
Speaker 2: they have done, you will still forgive them. Do you
1:47:44
Speaker 2: know that about God. If you know that about God,
1:47:49
Speaker 2: you can still reach your ownbelieving grandfather. After doing which
1:47:52
Speaker 2: crad for thirty five years, you can still tell him
1:47:55
Speaker 2: before you pass onto glory. Let me give you a
1:47:57
Speaker 2: chance to love Jesus. And he says, you don't how
1:48:00
Speaker 2: many people have chilled, He said, does not matter. The
1:48:03
Speaker 2: moment you declare the lordship of Jesus over your life.
1:48:06
Speaker 2: The Bible says, there is a translation from the Kingdom
1:48:08
Speaker 2: of darkness, Allelujah, please be seated. The character of God
1:48:17
Speaker 2: is someone learning. Explore the character of God as a preacher,
1:48:22
Speaker 2: as a business man, as a family man, and certain
1:48:26
Speaker 2: fears will die. Your confidence will be restored. Like that
1:48:31
Speaker 2: of those who are in Bible days. The church of
1:48:34
Speaker 2: the Lord Jesus Christ is largely powerless and conviction because
1:48:38
Speaker 2: there is something about the character of God we do
1:48:41
Speaker 2: not know. Number two, what is the second aspect of God?
1:48:45
Speaker 2: We must explore his ways? Please write his ways his
1:48:50
Speaker 2: ways Psalm twenty five, four and five. You want to
1:48:54
Speaker 2: know God, second to the knowledge of his character. The
1:48:58
Speaker 2: second thing you need to understand how he operates. His
1:49:02
Speaker 2: character talks about who he is. His ways talk about
1:49:06
Speaker 2: how he operates. The secret to discernment, in addition to
1:49:11
Speaker 2: the gift of discernment by the spirit, is a thorough
1:49:14
Speaker 2: knowledge of the ways of God. When you know how
1:49:17
Speaker 2: God acts, you will know how he does not act.
1:49:21
Speaker 2: Show me thy ways, o Lord, teach me thy paths,
1:49:26
Speaker 2: Lead me in thy truth, and teach me. For Thou
1:49:30
Speaker 2: art the God of my salvation. On thee do I
1:49:34
Speaker 2: wait all day? Never forget this cripture Psalm twenty five
1:49:37
Speaker 2: four and five. He says, show me your way, teach
1:49:42
Speaker 2: me your path. There is a gentleman, when there is
1:49:46
Speaker 2: inaccuracy in your representation of God and his purposes, it
1:49:52
Speaker 2: may be derived from an inaccurate understanding as to how
1:49:57
Speaker 2: God works. Now please look up. There are things God
1:50:00
Speaker 2: will never do, even as prophetic actions. Number one, God
1:50:04
Speaker 2: will never manipulate the will of man. The first thing
1:50:08
Speaker 2: God gave man. Watch this now, when God created man
1:50:11
Speaker 2: as the zenith of his creation, he said, let them
1:50:15
Speaker 2: have dominion. From that time make reference to my teaching
1:50:18
Speaker 2: the series let them have dominion. It became scripturally incorrect
1:50:23
Speaker 2: for God to superimpose anything upon man. Even at the
1:50:28
Speaker 2: detriment of your eternal destiny, he still left you to choose.
1:50:32
Speaker 2: You can reject him. The Bible says as many as
1:50:35
Speaker 2: received him, meaning not everybody will receive him. Can you
1:50:40
Speaker 2: imagine that that God, in his mind full of love,
1:50:44
Speaker 2: he's watching someone now go to hell and is saying,
1:50:48
Speaker 2: I give you an option. You can choose me that
1:50:50
Speaker 2: you will leave. When he set up the Brazen Serpent,
1:50:53
Speaker 2: remember in the days of Moses, he said the instruction
1:50:57
Speaker 2: was to look and leave. I cannot force it on you.
1:51:00
Speaker 2: When he met the people who needed healing, he asks them,
1:51:04
Speaker 2: how do you see a man who has been important,
1:51:07
Speaker 2: a man, a woman with the issue of blood, and
1:51:09
Speaker 2: all kinds of people, and then asks them what they wanted.
1:51:12
Speaker 2: Let me tell you this eternally, God has bound himself
1:51:16
Speaker 2: to respect the will of man. If you notice about
1:51:21
Speaker 2: the way God behaves his modus operandi as a leader,
1:51:26
Speaker 2: you will never force people and you sob upon their will,
1:51:30
Speaker 2: whether it's a ministry or whatever it is. If I
1:51:33
Speaker 2: want to prophesy to you, you have a right, as
1:51:36
Speaker 2: an act of your volition, to say, I appreciate you,
1:51:39
Speaker 2: but I'm not ready to receive, and I must respect it.
1:51:42
Speaker 2: If I know the ways of God, allelujah. Leadership is
1:51:48
Speaker 2: very poor in Africa, and respectfully speaking, in many, many
1:51:51
Speaker 2: circles of the church, because there is something about the
1:51:54
Speaker 2: modus operandi of God that we do not know, and
1:51:57
Speaker 2: we have observed given here on this platform that one
1:52:00
Speaker 2: of the mistakes of the prophetic ministry is that many
1:52:04
Speaker 2: are assigned from the absence and the bankruptcy of consecration.
1:52:09
Speaker 2: One of the mistakes of the prophetic ministry is that
1:52:11
Speaker 2: men and women have not subjected themselves to understand the
1:52:15
Speaker 2: ways of God. And the prophetic by design is very complicated.
1:52:19
Speaker 2: It is your knowledge of the ways of God that
1:52:22
Speaker 2: helps you define the coordinates of your seeing and your hearing,
1:52:25
Speaker 2: so that even as a prophet, you know what to
1:52:27
Speaker 2: reject and what to receive. Are we together? Just because
1:52:31
Speaker 2: you are open to the realm of the spirit does
1:52:33
Speaker 2: not afforded the opportunity to fish to your life and
1:52:36
Speaker 2: to orders everything you see and hear. The realm of
1:52:39
Speaker 2: the Spirit is a vast realm. It must be sieved
1:52:42
Speaker 2: from the lens of the not just the character of God,
1:52:46
Speaker 2: but the way God operates. Allelujah. So if for instance,
1:52:51
Speaker 2: I see a revelation right now that somebody here the
1:52:54
Speaker 2: spirit of death is coming, you see that may be
1:52:57
Speaker 2: an accurate revelation, but just a thing to you that
1:53:00
Speaker 2: you are going to die. I have not edified you
1:53:03
Speaker 2: because the major purpose of the prophetic for exhortation are
1:53:07
Speaker 2: we together for comfort? That purpose has been defeated. In
1:53:11
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, I leave you with fear. I leave
1:53:14
Speaker 2: you with doubts. I have not helped you. And because
1:53:17
Speaker 2: we have been called corporately as believers to the ministry
1:53:21
Speaker 2: of reconciliation. The Bible says it is not God's desire
1:53:24
Speaker 2: that even the wicked should perish, but that everyone would
1:53:27
Speaker 2: come to the saving knowledge of Jesus. That must inform
1:53:31
Speaker 2: my administration of the prophetic. So hapen't declared to you
1:53:35
Speaker 2: what I see that the devil wants to do. I
1:53:38
Speaker 2: must now use scripture and show you a recommended path
1:53:43
Speaker 2: of obedience that leads to your victory. Allelujah, Are we
1:53:49
Speaker 2: together the ways of God? The ways of God. One
1:53:57
Speaker 2: of the rules of tom that you must never forget
1:53:59
Speaker 2: about God is that God encourages people, He challenges people.
1:54:05
Speaker 2: He can provoke you. But so whenever you sub and
1:54:09
Speaker 2: manipulate your will, that means, I say, husband, you are
1:54:13
Speaker 2: manipulating the will of your wife and your children. You
1:54:15
Speaker 2: are not behaving like God. You are manipulating the wills
1:54:18
Speaker 2: of people in society. You are not behaving like God.
1:54:21
Speaker 2: People must be given the room under sufficient knowledge to
1:54:26
Speaker 2: make their choices. There are two point six billion professing
1:54:33
Speaker 2: Christians in the world as we know statistically today, and
1:54:38
Speaker 2: you can imagine that. As mighty as God is, he
1:54:40
Speaker 2: did not just wave his hand to say, everybody, by
1:54:44
Speaker 2: the end of September, you must be saved. I am God,
1:54:47
Speaker 2: no show. What's the ancient per Will you lead us
1:54:57
Speaker 2: along eternal highway? We want to fallow the way, Serve Jesus,
1:55:04
Speaker 2: we want to enter your rest. Listen, let me say
1:55:09
Speaker 2: this respectfully speaking. You say and I say this generally
1:55:13
Speaker 2: to the body of Christ, but with a by us
1:55:14
Speaker 2: to men and women of God. Let's trust God for
1:55:17
Speaker 2: grace to work in integrity, especially as to things like
1:55:23
Speaker 2: challenging God's people to soul and to give. I believe
1:55:26
Speaker 2: in giving. I believe in challenging God's people to give.
1:55:29
Speaker 2: That is the way God designed for resources to come
1:55:32
Speaker 2: into the House of God. But anything that carries the
1:55:36
Speaker 2: extra luggage of manipulation and lies and falsehood and false
1:55:42
Speaker 2: prophecy and deceit. Number one, God's people are not stupid.
1:55:47
Speaker 2: The more they stay in the presence of God, they
1:55:49
Speaker 2: receive wisdom. They know when truth comes or otherwise. One
1:55:53
Speaker 2: of the things I've learned, especially in leadership, is love
1:55:56
Speaker 2: people and serve them sincerely and truthfully. And when the
1:56:01
Speaker 2: moment comes when you need your help and cooperation in
1:56:04
Speaker 2: any way, tell them sincerely and WA's what they would do.
1:56:07
Speaker 2: They will surprise you beyond your imagination. Allelujah. So for
1:56:12
Speaker 2: people who may be practitioners of this error, God is holiness.
1:56:16
Speaker 2: And when I say things like this, you see me
1:56:18
Speaker 2: say us because that body consciousness is what we seek
1:56:23
Speaker 2: to contribute to the Body of Christ. Pointing fingers does
1:56:26
Speaker 2: not provide any profiting. The most important thing is a
1:56:29
Speaker 2: holistic growth of the body through knowledge. Allelujah. But it matters.
1:56:36
Speaker 2: When you know how God operates, you will know how
1:56:39
Speaker 2: He does not operate. Allelujah. Yes, rather than embarrassing somebody,
1:56:48
Speaker 2: the Bible says to rebuke, not an elder in public.
1:56:52
Speaker 2: That is how God works. So if a man of influence,
1:56:55
Speaker 2: a man who's saying anything about him will cause a
1:56:58
Speaker 2: serious problem to his family and maybe to a church
1:57:02
Speaker 2: or whatever it is a man of influence, I will
1:57:04
Speaker 2: not come and prophesse I doom to the person. I
1:57:06
Speaker 2: would rather say, do you know what seeming the office
1:57:09
Speaker 2: or simulator on, and then you can discuss that just
1:57:12
Speaker 2: because you saw it. It is intelligence of the ways
1:57:15
Speaker 2: of God that guides how you dispense it. So you
1:57:19
Speaker 2: say that these are mistakes that sometimes we make in
1:57:21
Speaker 2: the name of being bold. We say certain things that
1:57:24
Speaker 2: end up destroying people. Because you are talking to a
1:57:27
Speaker 2: CEO whose employees are there, you are talking to a
1:57:30
Speaker 2: governmental official, you are talking to kings and to nobles.
1:57:33
Speaker 2: It is the mistake that many have made, and they
1:57:36
Speaker 2: have lost strategic people in their lives because of the
1:57:39
Speaker 2: bankruptcy of discernment. Allelujah prays the name of the Lord.
1:57:44
Speaker 2: We must be very wise. Knowing the ways of God
1:57:48
Speaker 2: helps you to balance how to function. We function in
1:57:52
Speaker 2: the kingdom based on the knowledge of the ways of God.
1:57:57
Speaker 2: Jesus spend time everything is said about the beatitudes. Was
1:58:01
Speaker 2: helping the believers understand how the kingdom works. Are we together? Now? Yes,
1:58:06
Speaker 2: he said, this is what your law says, but this
1:58:08
Speaker 2: is what I now say. He gave them room to
1:58:11
Speaker 2: ask him questions, questions, Q and A, and he explained
1:58:15
Speaker 2: certain things to them. They asked him questions on money,
1:58:18
Speaker 2: on family and marriage, on children, on this you know demons.
1:58:22
Speaker 2: They answer him questions, and he answered all that he
1:58:25
Speaker 2: was attempting to do was to help bring them to
1:58:28
Speaker 2: a point where they know the ways of God. Are
1:58:31
Speaker 2: we together? On the day of Pentecos when they saw
1:58:34
Speaker 2: the disciples, they said, these guys are drunk with Peter said, ah, baha,
1:58:38
Speaker 2: you are seeing us Philly the Holy Spirit about to
1:58:40
Speaker 2: declare good news, and you are saying, we're drunk with wine.
1:58:44
Speaker 2: But this is that? And then he began his discussion.
1:58:48
Speaker 2: I'm praying for somebody here that, in the name of Jesus,
1:58:50
Speaker 2: your life will begin to be so accurate because you
1:58:53
Speaker 2: will function within the confines of the ways of God.
1:58:58
Speaker 2: If we're a businessman, where preacher, you are a leader
1:59:03
Speaker 2: of any sort, once you have subscribed to the government
1:59:06
Speaker 2: of Heaven, you must limit your operations to be consistent
1:59:10
Speaker 2: with the ways of God. We must edit our principles
1:59:14
Speaker 2: and practices. Are we together now to ensure and insist
1:59:18
Speaker 2: that we are always within the boundary of that which
1:59:21
Speaker 2: is consistent with how God acts? Matthew, Mark, Luke, and
1:59:25
Speaker 2: John is a concise and sufficient compendium of the earthwork
1:59:30
Speaker 2: of Jesus. It was not just one verse, one chapter,
1:59:33
Speaker 2: difference scenarios, and you would see the way Jesus responded.
1:59:37
Speaker 2: That should be a lesson to us when you are
1:59:39
Speaker 2: becoming a believer in experience, a matured believer would I say,
1:59:44
Speaker 2: you need to understand that you must constrain yourself to
1:59:48
Speaker 2: live by the modus operandi of the kingdom. It is
1:59:53
Speaker 2: inconsistent with the way God works that when you see
1:59:56
Speaker 2: somebody in need, especially if it's something that the not
2:00:00
Speaker 2: cost you anything to help and provide that need, and
2:00:02
Speaker 2: you ignore it. The Bible says, how does he put it? Now?
2:00:06
Speaker 2: He says, do not withhold that which is good when
2:00:08
Speaker 2: it is within your power. A small child is crying
2:00:13
Speaker 2: and fifteen IRA can solve the child's problem. But then
2:00:16
Speaker 2: you shout and say, I'm a Christian, I'm a prayer giant,
2:00:19
Speaker 2: and you pass the person. He gave the story of
2:00:21
Speaker 2: the Good Samaritan as a lesson. There were three people,
2:00:24
Speaker 2: the priests, the Levite. They were focused on religiosity and
2:00:27
Speaker 2: spirit spirituality, and they ignore the man dying, and then
2:00:31
Speaker 2: there was a Samaritan. You see that. Now, remember that
2:00:34
Speaker 2: the Samaritan and the Jews, they had nothing in common.
2:00:37
Speaker 2: They were always at points of conflict. But now he
2:00:40
Speaker 2: saw this man who was bitten and left or dead.
2:00:42
Speaker 2: The Bible says he bound the person, treated the person,
2:00:45
Speaker 2: took him to a hotel and kept him there, and
2:00:48
Speaker 2: told the man, please take care of him if there
2:00:50
Speaker 2: are any extra bills on my return. And Jesus said,
2:00:53
Speaker 2: among all of them paraphrasing, who demonstrated godlikeness? True spiritual
2:01:00
Speaker 2: is beyond just pray and fasting. It must be demonstrated
2:01:03
Speaker 2: in our ability to keep the character of love, which
2:01:07
Speaker 2: is the foundation of the Christian faith is on giving.
2:01:11
Speaker 2: You are not called to solve everybody's problem, So let
2:01:13
Speaker 2: me balance it so that cheerless people don't write on
2:01:16
Speaker 2: this message and become a burden to people. There are
2:01:19
Speaker 2: people who will like what I've said now and say
2:01:21
Speaker 2: on who you see a post who has said you
2:01:23
Speaker 2: must pay my who f is pay my house rents
2:01:26
Speaker 2: while we are crossing your hand and being irresponsible. Now,
2:01:29
Speaker 2: as much as God is love, God does not endust irresponsibility.
2:01:34
Speaker 2: Say amen and a lujah, because you know the Bible said,
2:01:40
Speaker 2: be careful how you hear. There are people who hear
2:01:42
Speaker 2: all kinds of things. While a preacher is shouting and
2:01:45
Speaker 2: laboring that you receive truth, they just here the parts
2:01:48
Speaker 2: that relates to their lost and they now go around
2:01:52
Speaker 2: harassing people and saying, you claim to be a Christian.
2:01:54
Speaker 2: You have the money to just buy a house for me. Allelujah.
2:02:02
Speaker 2: The world is enough for the wise. So his character,
2:02:07
Speaker 2: his ways. Let me give you the last one, and
2:02:11
Speaker 2: then we'll pray to the unknown God. You want to
2:02:17
Speaker 2: demystify ther known God as far as our work in
2:02:20
Speaker 2: the earth is concerned. The last dimension of Him that
2:02:23
Speaker 2: you must press is the knowledge of his power. The
2:02:29
Speaker 2: knowledge of his character, helping you to understand who he is.
2:02:35
Speaker 2: The knowledge of his ways helping you to know how
2:02:38
Speaker 2: to function in the kingdom within the limit and the
2:02:41
Speaker 2: boundary of his will. Now the knowledge of his power.
2:02:44
Speaker 2: Please listen to this one, because here is where the
2:02:47
Speaker 2: administration of your authority and your power, the zenith of
2:02:52
Speaker 2: your dominion is at the messy of this knowledge, the
2:02:55
Speaker 2: knowledge of His power. Some sixty three and verse two,
2:03:03
Speaker 2: Alla God dos theater. Verse one says, Oh Lord, give
2:03:07
Speaker 2: us Verse one let's do one and two. Oh God,
2:03:10
Speaker 2: thou at my God, early will I see t So
2:03:14
Speaker 2: he's seeking God my soul. First step four d my
2:03:18
Speaker 2: flesh long get for digging it dry and thirsty land
2:03:22
Speaker 2: where no water is Why verse two to see Thy power,
2:03:28
Speaker 2: not just to see your face, not just to know
2:03:32
Speaker 2: your ways, but now to see your power. God's power
2:03:36
Speaker 2: can be seen and thy glory. So I have seen
2:03:39
Speaker 2: thee in the sanctuary, you can know his power Matche
2:03:44
Speaker 2: twenty two and verse twenty nine. Here's what Jesus said,
2:03:48
Speaker 2: Ye do air, not knowing the scriptures, not the power
2:03:55
Speaker 2: of God. What is the word air? You will walk
2:03:58
Speaker 2: in error. You will work in confusion. You will work
2:04:02
Speaker 2: in defiance and in deviation to God's preset pattern. When
2:04:07
Speaker 2: you do not know His ways like I thought earlier,
2:04:10
Speaker 2: and you do not know his power. That means the
2:04:13
Speaker 2: power of God can keep a man in the will
2:04:16
Speaker 2: of God. In fact, the assignment of the power of
2:04:19
Speaker 2: God is to bring all things in alignment with the
2:04:23
Speaker 2: will of God. I have taught you here that outside
2:04:26
Speaker 2: of the will of God, the power of God has
2:04:28
Speaker 2: no assignment. The assignment of the power of God is
2:04:32
Speaker 2: to bring all things into the will of God. The
2:04:35
Speaker 2: power of God's only stops walking when triggered by faith.
2:04:39
Speaker 2: It only stops walking when that issue, that matter, or
2:04:43
Speaker 2: that person has come into perfect alignment with the will
2:04:47
Speaker 2: of God. So when you see a sick person and
2:04:50
Speaker 2: you release the healing power, the healing anointing, what is
2:04:54
Speaker 2: the assignment of the healing power? The healing power does
2:04:57
Speaker 2: not It doesn't just come there to heal the person.
2:05:00
Speaker 2: It scans that man's life and since what aspect of
2:05:03
Speaker 2: his health is inconsistent with the will of God. And
2:05:07
Speaker 2: like a drug in your body, it begins so correct.
2:05:10
Speaker 2: Depending on the dimension and the gravity of the power released,
2:05:15
Speaker 2: it can bring you into perfect alignment. Do you understand
2:05:19
Speaker 2: what I'm sharing with you? You want to know God?
2:05:23
Speaker 2: You have not truly known God as far as it
2:05:26
Speaker 2: is given to us, if you do not know his power.
2:05:30
Speaker 2: Efficients one eighteen.
2:05:35
Speaker 4: I love you forever, I love you forever. I love
2:05:42
Speaker 4: you forever, Love I love you forever, I love you forever.
2:05:55
Speaker 4: I love you forever.
2:06:00
Speaker 2: If you're speaking to the church in Episods, this Paul
2:06:03
Speaker 2: was a powerful man that the eyes of your understanding
2:06:06
Speaker 2: being enlightened. What's all the things he wants them to
2:06:10
Speaker 2: know that he may know. Number one, what is the
2:06:14
Speaker 2: hope of his calling? Number two, what is the riches
2:06:18
Speaker 2: of the glory of his inheritance? In the Saints read nineteen.
2:06:22
Speaker 2: If you're a Christian, please ready one to read. What
2:06:25
Speaker 2: is the third thing he wants us to know? What
2:06:27
Speaker 2: is the exceeding greatness of His power to us world
2:06:32
Speaker 2: would believe according to the working of his mighty power.
2:06:36
Speaker 2: Let me stretch it to twenty one, verse twenty, that
2:06:39
Speaker 2: mighty power that was exerted which he wrote in Christ
2:06:43
Speaker 2: when he raised him from the dead and set him
2:06:46
Speaker 2: at his own right hand in the heavenly places twenty one,
2:06:50
Speaker 2: far above principality and power, and might and dominion and
2:06:56
Speaker 2: every name that is named, not only in this world,
2:06:59
Speaker 2: but even that which is to come. Do you know
2:07:01
Speaker 2: the implication of obeying Paul's prayer or praying that Paul's
2:07:05
Speaker 2: prayer becomes your prayer? Let me tell you the truth.
2:07:09
Speaker 2: There is no weakness for the believer who knows the
2:07:12
Speaker 2: power of God. And this is beyond the realm of
2:07:18
Speaker 2: miracles and science and wonders. There are infinite possibilities that
2:07:24
Speaker 2: can flow through the life of a believer, Paul is saying,
2:07:27
Speaker 2: I see your weakness. In terms of your weakness, you
2:07:30
Speaker 2: are not able to be effective weaknesses. At chapter four
2:07:34
Speaker 2: and verse starty three, the Bible says, and with great
2:07:37
Speaker 2: power gave the apostle's weakness of the resurrection of the
2:07:40
Speaker 2: Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. When
2:07:44
Speaker 2: it has to do with being a weakness, it is
2:07:47
Speaker 2: good to know God's character, it is good to know
2:07:50
Speaker 2: God's ways. But in the face of curses and yokes,
2:07:55
Speaker 2: and the assentance of darkness, the gates of hell that
2:07:59
Speaker 2: wants to prevail over God's people, ladies and gentlemen, you
2:08:02
Speaker 2: need to know his power. You need to know his power.
2:08:08
Speaker 2: It is the revelation of God's power that brings you
2:08:12
Speaker 2: into a questionable dominion. First Samuel seventeen forty four to
2:08:19
Speaker 2: forty seven the story that I started earlier on, And
2:08:23
Speaker 2: the Philistine said to David, come to me, go liat now,
2:08:30
Speaker 2: and I will give thy flesh to the fouls of
2:08:33
Speaker 2: the air and to the beasts of the field. Look
2:08:36
Speaker 2: at the reply of a young boy who had then
2:08:39
Speaker 2: countered the power of God. Then David said to the Philistine,
2:08:44
Speaker 2: and ladies and gentlemen today, that philistine can be anything
2:08:48
Speaker 2: that speaks to you. It can be sickness, it can
2:08:52
Speaker 2: be life, it can be limitations. David replied the philistine,
2:08:57
Speaker 2: thou comest to me with a sword and with a spare,
2:09:02
Speaker 2: and with a shield. But I come to thee in
2:09:06
Speaker 2: the name of the Lord of Hosts. We can spend
2:09:10
Speaker 2: all night teaching what this name is, the Lord of Hosts.
2:09:15
Speaker 2: The literal Hebrew translation is the Captain of the Angel Army.
2:09:20
Speaker 2: Some versions who say the the the captain of the
2:09:25
Speaker 2: Angel Army. If you read versions like maybe The Message
2:09:31
Speaker 2: or New Living Translation, they will give you greater perspective
2:09:36
Speaker 2: as to this. It says, beautiful, I come to you
2:09:39
Speaker 2: message now in the name of God of the Angel Armies.
2:09:43
Speaker 2: Do you know what that means? It is an office
2:09:46
Speaker 2: that every president has in Nigeria, we call it the
2:09:49
Speaker 2: Grand Commander. You see that. Now, that's the us that
2:09:54
Speaker 2: is given a civilian, even if he becomes president. You
2:09:59
Speaker 2: are in charge of the entire am forces. And it
2:10:03
Speaker 2: is only at your final command that war is executed
2:10:07
Speaker 2: or prohibited. So he say, I come to you in
2:10:10
Speaker 2: the name there is something I know about God and
2:10:13
Speaker 2: his power that when he gives a command you are dead.
2:10:17
Speaker 2: It is in that name I come. Let's finish the scripture.
2:10:20
Speaker 2: Back to KJV forty five one Samuel seventeen forty five.
2:10:26
Speaker 2: Now you understand I come to you in the name
2:10:29
Speaker 2: of the Lord of Host, the God of the armies
2:10:33
Speaker 2: of Israel, whom thou hast defied. Watch this reading forty six.
2:10:37
Speaker 2: Now this day, this sent to man is not just prophesying.
2:10:41
Speaker 2: He's speaking from the abundance of his revelation about the
2:10:45
Speaker 2: God who gave him the bear, the God who gave
2:10:48
Speaker 2: him the lion, that he taught the lion and the bear.
2:10:52
Speaker 2: If you meet a blend the forest, run as you pray,
2:10:55
Speaker 2: Run as you pray. Don't pray lorn as came there.
2:10:57
Speaker 2: Run as you pray, because you're most likely may not survive.
2:11:01
Speaker 2: Those animals are vicious and wars is a lion. Do
2:11:05
Speaker 2: you climb the tree to be safe? Do you jump
2:11:08
Speaker 2: into the river to be safe? Number one? What we
2:11:10
Speaker 2: even take you there? That's what we must prove. What
2:11:15
Speaker 2: took you there? Most likely disobedience would have taken you there. Alleluyah,
2:11:24
Speaker 2: are we together this day? The Lord will deliver thee
2:11:30
Speaker 2: who else in the Bible made this kind of bull
2:11:32
Speaker 2: statement Bible knowledge. Shadrack, Masshack and a bat Negal, those
2:11:37
Speaker 2: three young boys when they stood before nebucad Niza, staring
2:11:40
Speaker 2: at that idol that ninety feet touch are made of gold,
2:11:44
Speaker 2: they said, old King, We've been taught to honor, but
2:11:46
Speaker 2: in this matter we will not respect you. On that
2:11:49
Speaker 2: our God is able to deliver us, and he will,
2:11:51
Speaker 2: but that even if he does not deliver us for
2:11:54
Speaker 2: sure bowing down to you. Yesterday, I was tired and
2:11:59
Speaker 2: I was just resting in the living room just for
2:12:02
Speaker 2: a while, and then I saw this children's cartoon and
2:12:05
Speaker 2: that was super book, and it was that story. I
2:12:08
Speaker 2: decided to watch it preparing for this summon. I said,
2:12:10
Speaker 2: thank you Jesus. And you see the children's cartoon, you,
2:12:14
Speaker 2: I mean, you needed to see what the power of
2:12:16
Speaker 2: God did in that cartoon. Rob Beach, that funess for nothing.
2:12:20
Speaker 2: And the fourth man who was in that fire, I said, oh,
2:12:23
Speaker 2: that force man, Please sturn with me or tomorrow as
2:12:25
Speaker 2: I teach Allelujah. Hey man, let's finish that scripture we're
2:12:30
Speaker 2: reading to forty seven. I hope you are learning it
2:12:33
Speaker 2: says I will give the prophet signed to go Liat.
2:12:36
Speaker 2: Now I will smite thee and take your head from you,
2:12:40
Speaker 2: and I will give the cacassis of the host of
2:12:43
Speaker 2: the Philistines this day to the fouls of the air
2:12:46
Speaker 2: and to the wild beasts of the heath, that all
2:12:48
Speaker 2: the head may know that there is a God in Israel,
2:12:52
Speaker 2: not just that there is a mighty young boy who
2:12:54
Speaker 2: is standing to face a giant, it says, And all
2:12:58
Speaker 2: this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with
2:13:03
Speaker 2: sword and spare, but the battle is the Lord's, and
2:13:07
Speaker 2: he will give you into our hands. There are many
2:13:13
Speaker 2: mountains and many battles you will confronting your life as
2:13:16
Speaker 2: a believer. Many of you are standing before them now,
2:13:20
Speaker 2: financial battles, marital battles, health battles away together, and all
2:13:25
Speaker 2: kinds of things in these days that there are mysterious,
2:13:28
Speaker 2: devily sicknesses. Someone just wakes up in the morning and
2:13:32
Speaker 2: you feel pain. Here you just go to the hospital,
2:13:35
Speaker 2: thinking they will tell you you didn't rest well. And
2:13:37
Speaker 2: those we don't like what we're seeing in this machine.
2:13:39
Speaker 2: When did you start having this pain? He said, just
2:13:41
Speaker 2: last week. Say this is already stage two. In the
2:13:44
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, the revelation of God's power will terminate
2:13:48
Speaker 2: everything my Father has not planted in your body and
2:13:55
Speaker 2: a luyer to know the power of God. To know
2:13:59
Speaker 2: the power of God, you cannot bear witness to the truth.
2:14:02
Speaker 2: You cannot prove a God that you have not seen
2:14:06
Speaker 2: and known his power. When he told Moses, I am
2:14:09
Speaker 2: that I am, it did not stop there. He told him.
2:14:11
Speaker 2: He said, all right, here's what will happen. Moses. What
2:14:14
Speaker 2: are you holding in your hand? He said, a road.
2:14:16
Speaker 2: He said, cast it down. When Moses threw it down,
2:14:19
Speaker 2: it became a serpent, and Moses moved away from it.
2:14:21
Speaker 2: He said, draw naile, don't be afraid. Pick it from
2:14:24
Speaker 2: the tail. And Moses picked it and it became a road.
2:14:27
Speaker 2: And he said, hold this road wherewith you would walk
2:14:29
Speaker 2: signs and wonders. Put your hand in your bosom, brought
2:14:33
Speaker 2: it out and it was lepros. Put it back, brought
2:14:35
Speaker 2: it out and it was normal. That means anything you
2:14:38
Speaker 2: see Pharaoh doing, don't be afraid. I have used your
2:14:40
Speaker 2: own body to act out my power to you. Moses
2:14:43
Speaker 2: was on his way. He went to Nott, said, the
2:14:46
Speaker 2: Lord God of the Hebrews, let my people go and
2:14:48
Speaker 2: Pharaoh said, look at this stupid guy. You ran away
2:14:51
Speaker 2: for forty years to the wilderness, and now you are
2:14:54
Speaker 2: back looking like somebody who was rejected with some careless
2:14:59
Speaker 2: message that the God of the Hebrews you think we
2:15:01
Speaker 2: are stupid people in Egypt. Mother, he said, I don't
2:15:03
Speaker 2: have time to waste discussing with you. He threw his
2:15:06
Speaker 2: rod on the ground. Pharaoh looked at him and said,
2:15:08
Speaker 2: shame on you. If this is what you brought to
2:15:11
Speaker 2: make me bring God's people out China's chambers, bring your rod.
2:15:16
Speaker 2: And they threw their rods. And when he became a serpent.
2:15:19
Speaker 2: Do you know how if you don't know God well,
2:15:24
Speaker 2: when the devil does what you think God can do,
2:15:26
Speaker 2: you will now run away because that thing was a
2:15:32
Speaker 2: replica of what God could do. So you tell somebody
2:15:36
Speaker 2: only God prospers. And he said, okay, I'm going to
2:15:38
Speaker 2: the habbablist in open. Let's check ourselves by December. By
2:15:42
Speaker 2: December you come you are prosperous and the person is
2:15:45
Speaker 2: prosperous through And he says, so what is the difference.
2:15:48
Speaker 2: You need to know God enough? There are nine plagues,
2:15:51
Speaker 2: ten plagues. Just because you saw one does that mean
2:15:54
Speaker 2: that it's all. There is a plague that Pharaoh and
2:15:57
Speaker 2: his wizards cannot reproduce after nine plagues and stop Boron.
2:16:02
Speaker 2: Pharaoh said it's not enough. God said, I know what
2:16:05
Speaker 2: to do. They know the implication of first bondes. Don't
2:16:08
Speaker 2: worry allow them. And that night the Angel of Death
2:16:12
Speaker 2: swept over Egypt. They woke up with a lamentation. The
2:16:16
Speaker 2: first bones were all dead. When you study now, you
2:16:20
Speaker 2: study these things with caution. Don't just want to read
2:16:22
Speaker 2: something that will make you start seeing spirits. Are we
2:16:25
Speaker 2: together now? When you are exploring extra biblical materials, you
2:16:31
Speaker 2: do it with maturity and with wisdom. Are we together now?
2:16:34
Speaker 2: A believer who just got born again? There are books
2:16:36
Speaker 2: you should not expose yourself into. You would destroy yourself
2:16:39
Speaker 2: and you would windle your faith. But when you study,
2:16:42
Speaker 2: even if it's Egyptian scientology, you know that they dedicated
2:16:45
Speaker 2: their first bonds to God. There was a mystery of
2:16:48
Speaker 2: the strength of Egypt that was shouded in their first bones.
2:16:52
Speaker 2: You could kill all their children, go ahead, but not
2:16:55
Speaker 2: their first bones. So when God was visiting the first bones,
2:16:58
Speaker 2: there was something that happened there. And at the end
2:17:01
Speaker 2: of it, Pharaoh said, go give them gold, give them anything,
2:17:05
Speaker 2: let them go, let them go, Please leave this place.
2:17:08
Speaker 2: And as soon as they left, he came to pursue
2:17:10
Speaker 2: them again. And this time around God made he did
2:17:14
Speaker 2: something that Pharaoh wondered. The Red Sea opened, and when
2:17:19
Speaker 2: they stepped into it, the reds he buried them completely.
2:17:29
Speaker 2: If the Red Sea cany can bury Pharaoh, there is
2:17:33
Speaker 2: nothing he cannot bury, every spirit and every manifestation of
2:17:39
Speaker 2: darkness that keeps saying, I will keep you bound. Your
2:17:42
Speaker 2: children will join you here, Your grandchildren would join you
2:17:45
Speaker 2: here in the name of Jesus. The same way that
2:17:49
Speaker 2: sea opened jether and titther and buried Pharaoh and his
2:17:53
Speaker 2: armies everything that is not by my God, from my God,
2:17:58
Speaker 2: and with the permission of my but I decree and declared,
2:18:01
Speaker 2: let him be buried forever. Now you understand, David Danson,
2:18:12
Speaker 2: only a shoe will rain for we to She's kingdom helping.
2:18:21
Speaker 6: No.
2:18:24
Speaker 2: There is a third part I have not learned. That's
2:18:26
Speaker 2: the part I wanted to sing. I always sint as.
2:18:29
Speaker 2: I wanted to sing it for us the change, listen
2:18:34
Speaker 2: the courses. But no evil can stand your power. Only
2:18:44
Speaker 2: a shoe weill ray for to his king helvy, no
2:18:56
Speaker 2: listen to me. Power is the ability to cost change
2:19:02
Speaker 2: many times, the ability to force change. P. Sixty six
2:19:07
Speaker 2: and verse three say, unto God, how terrible art thou
2:19:11
Speaker 2: in thy walks through the greatness of thy power? Shall
2:19:16
Speaker 2: thy enemies submit themselves to you? There is a gentleman.
2:19:20
Speaker 2: The End Time Church is a church of power. Power
2:19:24
Speaker 2: not just to become, but power against. Power to become
2:19:29
Speaker 2: is the engracing that makes you become like Christ. In
2:19:32
Speaker 2: terms of transformation, power against reveals the warrior dimension of
2:19:37
Speaker 2: the believer. The Bible says, to put on the whole
2:19:40
Speaker 2: armor of God. You know how you put the whole
2:19:42
Speaker 2: armor of God in your mind and by your speakings.
2:19:46
Speaker 2: That is how you put the whole armor of God.
2:19:48
Speaker 2: The whole armor of God is a consciousness, and then
2:19:52
Speaker 2: the reality of it is activated as you speak with understanding.
2:19:58
Speaker 2: So Paul tends a the picture of a warrior, the
2:20:01
Speaker 2: blessed split of righteousness, the shield of faith, the helmet
2:20:05
Speaker 2: of salvation. He gives you the description of a warrior
2:20:09
Speaker 2: because he reminds you that the earth is not just
2:20:11
Speaker 2: a playground. The truth is that the Bible says that
2:20:15
Speaker 2: the flesh losted after the spirit, the spirit losted after
2:20:19
Speaker 2: the flesh, and that consistently Day two. The mystery of
2:20:23
Speaker 2: cana and Abel. There is a contention of the old
2:20:26
Speaker 2: and the new Man, Satan, the gates of hell, fighting
2:20:30
Speaker 2: the church and the purposes of God. Believe us, you
2:20:34
Speaker 2: can be wise in terms of the knowledge of principles,
2:20:38
Speaker 2: But can I tell you the truth? The days that
2:20:40
Speaker 2: are before us, Please listen to me. We're about to pray.
2:20:43
Speaker 2: The days that are before us are times that will
2:20:46
Speaker 2: necessity power, power, genuine spiritual power. You want to see
2:20:53
Speaker 2: the sick killed. It takes more than sympathy. You need power.
2:20:58
Speaker 2: How God anointed Jesus of naz I read Ants ten
2:21:00
Speaker 2: thirty eight, with the Holy Ghost and with power. My
2:21:04
Speaker 2: Bible says he went about doing good and healing all
2:21:09
Speaker 2: day that were oppressed of the devil, for God was
2:21:13
Speaker 2: with him. At chapter eight, from verse five, Philip went
2:21:18
Speaker 2: down to Samaria and preached Christ onto them. The next
2:21:22
Speaker 2: versus the people gave heed with one accord to those
2:21:26
Speaker 2: things which Philip spake. Why because they heard and they
2:21:30
Speaker 2: saw the miracles that he did. A generation of power
2:21:36
Speaker 2: will also be the generation of glory to see your
2:21:39
Speaker 2: power and your glory. You cannot see glory without power. Allelujah.
2:21:46
Speaker 2: The spirit of glory was also the spirit of power.
2:21:50
Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen, please yar me. I have told you
2:21:53
Speaker 2: again and again, and I will repeat it. Ladies and gentlemen,
2:21:56
Speaker 2: please hear me. Do not begin your faith at venture
2:22:00
Speaker 2: in this kingdom, especially within this complicated time as a
2:22:05
Speaker 2: man of God, a businessman, a leader, without shorting the
2:22:08
Speaker 2: revelation of genuine power. Accessing power is progressive, but there
2:22:14
Speaker 2: is a threshold measure of spiritual power. You need to
2:22:17
Speaker 2: begin your journey because we are treading very very complicated
2:22:22
Speaker 2: and delicate spiritual terrors. Satan will kill anything he can kill,
2:22:28
Speaker 2: destroy anything he can destroy. And power is what may
2:22:32
Speaker 2: afford you the longevity of stay and impact. Allelujah. There
2:22:39
Speaker 2: are forces I we're having a wonderful time with our
2:22:42
Speaker 2: School of Ministry students. By the way, I hope you
2:22:44
Speaker 2: are warming up for their graduation coming soon. We're going
2:22:47
Speaker 2: to announce. It will be a beautiful time. These people
2:22:50
Speaker 2: have been I think we shill appreciate them. They have
2:22:52
Speaker 2: been so committed and very very diligent. Allelujah. I have
2:23:01
Speaker 2: not only read that there are spirits. I have seen,
2:23:06
Speaker 2: spirits I have encountered. I've shared with you some of
2:23:09
Speaker 2: these encounters in the bits of time that God has
2:23:13
Speaker 2: given me serving His purposes in ministry, I have minister
2:23:18
Speaker 2: to people, and I have seen the extent of darkness
2:23:21
Speaker 2: and evil and wickedness. I have seen a bit of
2:23:25
Speaker 2: how Satan can go, how far he can go, as
2:23:28
Speaker 2: far as destroying glorious destinies and concern. And there are
2:23:32
Speaker 2: times that I have seen graciously and with all humility,
2:23:36
Speaker 2: the power of God. You don't know why I get
2:23:38
Speaker 2: excited about the Miracle services. All services are, you know,
2:23:41
Speaker 2: services that bring blessings. But because we have dedicated the
2:23:45
Speaker 2: Miracle service to minister to God's people that in a
2:23:48
Speaker 2: moment and age long captivity lives just like that power. Allelujah.
2:23:56
Speaker 2: Many of you, this is why you came to church tonight.
2:23:59
Speaker 2: I do not doubt you encounter with the character of God.
2:24:03
Speaker 2: There are things about God that you know, but there
2:24:06
Speaker 2: are things about God you do not know. Some of
2:24:08
Speaker 2: you you are yet to encounter His power. Please try
2:24:11
Speaker 2: to listen to my message the value of encounters. You
2:24:16
Speaker 2: need an encounter with the power of God if you
2:24:19
Speaker 2: want to so John, in this wicked world, it takes
2:24:22
Speaker 2: power to clear every mountain that stands before you and
2:24:26
Speaker 2: to keep making strategic kingdom progress. There are forces that
2:24:32
Speaker 2: will not rest till you are brought down. And may
2:24:35
Speaker 2: God help you that you rise to the highest position.
2:24:38
Speaker 2: We're discussing this with our pressure students yesterday. I think
2:24:41
Speaker 2: he was, and we're talking about the reality of the
2:24:44
Speaker 2: evil of the times. This is not to scare you,
2:24:46
Speaker 2: but the truth is the truth. Allelujah, Praise the name
2:24:51
Speaker 2: of the Lord. I think he was someone I prayed for.
2:24:54
Speaker 2: I don't know if I've shared the story here. And
2:24:56
Speaker 2: this person just hit his tone. Just something that looks
2:24:59
Speaker 2: like it stone and then the leg begins to swell,
2:25:02
Speaker 2: and then you treated in the hospital and it does
2:25:04
Speaker 2: not go down. Is that a stone you went to school?
2:25:08
Speaker 2: Is that a stone? Arrows that fly by day, noise,
2:25:13
Speaker 2: some pestilences, destructions that waste in noonday and in the
2:25:18
Speaker 2: name of Jesus, and praying for someone here if for
2:25:21
Speaker 2: any reason you have been a victim of any of
2:25:23
Speaker 2: these absonance of darkness, My Bible says, now, thanks be
2:25:27
Speaker 2: to God which causes us always to triumph. I decree
2:25:31
Speaker 2: and declared in the name of he who died and
2:25:34
Speaker 2: is today exalted and seated at the throne of the Father.
2:25:37
Speaker 2: They delivered this moment. Now allelujah. There are regions where
2:25:47
Speaker 2: people do not rise. There are territories where people do
2:25:51
Speaker 2: not rise. There are regions. Help that, gentleman. There are
2:25:54
Speaker 2: regions where ministries do not rise. Help that lady. Please,
2:25:57
Speaker 2: we'll go to pray. Are we together now? Yes, I
2:26:01
Speaker 2: have seen regions. There are territories that have territorial spirits
2:26:06
Speaker 2: that define that civilization or otherwise, you do not understand power.
2:26:11
Speaker 2: You taught those regions you will look like the city.
2:26:14
Speaker 2: They will bring you down to reflect the city. There
2:26:18
Speaker 2: are families where men are the women and women are
2:26:21
Speaker 2: the men. And those who dare to rise beyond a
2:26:24
Speaker 2: certain threshold are caught shots in shame on timely deathful reasons.
2:26:29
Speaker 2: You cannot explain. This is not to scare you. So
2:26:33
Speaker 2: you can find people who stay a broad for twenty years,
2:26:35
Speaker 2: thirty years, and they return back with nothing. Forces are real.
2:26:41
Speaker 2: Jesus did not hide the fact that those forces were
2:26:44
Speaker 2: on earth, and they are everywhere. The whole world lia
2:26:47
Speaker 2: in wickedness. This is where the ministry of power comes.
2:26:58
Speaker 2: No matter the quality ingredients you have to cook. I
2:27:01
Speaker 2: taught you, if you don't set it on fire, there
2:27:05
Speaker 2: will not be a meal there. Mix the tomato, mix
2:27:09
Speaker 2: the rice, all of them will be at the messy
2:27:12
Speaker 2: of fire. Is fire that does the remaining business. There
2:27:16
Speaker 2: is what your knife cannot do that only fire will do.
2:27:20
Speaker 2: There is what your chefry crowess cannot do. Only fire.
2:27:26
Speaker 2: Are we together? Now? Your knife cannot turn solid to liquid. No,
2:27:33
Speaker 2: but put it on the fire. And what's what happens?
2:27:36
Speaker 2: It is only fire that can expose the viper that
2:27:40
Speaker 2: is hidden in the log of wood. When fire comes,
2:27:43
Speaker 2: every viper hiding it must come out and be revealed
2:27:47
Speaker 2: to be dealt with. For as long as there is
2:27:49
Speaker 2: no fire there, the serpent will be masquerading there, moving
2:27:53
Speaker 2: it in your body from hair to toe. And you
2:27:56
Speaker 2: are wondering, what is moving in my body like this?
2:27:58
Speaker 2: And the only thing that telling you is that something
2:28:01
Speaker 2: is growing within your system. Allelujah, the fire of the
2:28:07
Speaker 2: Holy Ghost and encounter with the power of God. Let
2:28:13
Speaker 2: me recap one last time, and then we'll pray that
2:28:16
Speaker 2: if you want to transit your knowledge from the unknown
2:28:20
Speaker 2: God like the man in Athens to a God that
2:28:23
Speaker 2: you know, that you serve, that you can boldly tell
2:28:26
Speaker 2: the world. Come and join me. Serve this God. Come
2:28:30
Speaker 2: and join me. Serve this God. Come and join me.
2:28:32
Speaker 2: Give to this God. Come and join me. Love this God.
2:28:36
Speaker 2: Come and join me. Worship this God. Come and join me.
2:28:40
Speaker 2: Exhalt this God. Come and join me. Speak the purposes
2:28:43
Speaker 2: of this God. If you do not want to mislead
2:28:47
Speaker 2: a generation to ignorance, then you must transit your knowledge
2:28:52
Speaker 2: and stop building an altar committing your devotion to a
2:28:56
Speaker 2: unknown god. He can be known, can make him known.
2:29:02
Speaker 2: His ways is one way he can be known. And finally,
2:29:06
Speaker 2: his power. Can I tell you you don't see wind,
2:29:09
Speaker 2: but you can see the effect of wind. It will
2:29:12
Speaker 2: pick up his sing. You watch tornadoes and they will
2:29:15
Speaker 2: sweep buildings that were put with smelt and sweep them
2:29:19
Speaker 2: like children playing football. Hallelujah. This is the God we serve.
2:29:29
Speaker 2: You want a generation to turn away from idol, and
2:29:32
Speaker 2: to turn it from other gods and look to the
2:29:34
Speaker 2: God of the Bible. It takes more than an evangelistic discussion.
2:29:39
Speaker 2: You will need to tell a generation behold the power
2:29:42
Speaker 2: of this God who center us that power is translated
2:29:46
Speaker 2: in healings, miracles, restorations, that whole families come under that
2:29:55
Speaker 2: influence of His power, and in one day, one moment,
2:30:00
Speaker 2: captivity is taken away from people. Healings are happening. You
2:30:04
Speaker 2: speak to someone, can I tell you on account of
2:30:07
Speaker 2: that manifestation of power in one day, by the time
2:30:11
Speaker 2: God helps you as a preacher, as a businessman, as
2:30:15
Speaker 2: a politician, as a believer, as a witness, and you
2:30:18
Speaker 2: would demonstrate certain levels of His power. I know people today,
2:30:23
Speaker 2: with all due respect and humility, is not because they
2:30:27
Speaker 2: saw a display of God's power through the level that
2:30:30
Speaker 2: don't founded their minds. They would never come to church,
2:30:33
Speaker 2: they would never come to God power. It is not
2:30:36
Speaker 2: just in terms of transformation creating change that someone who
2:30:43
Speaker 2: will tell you I had HIV. This is the medical report.
2:30:46
Speaker 2: I didn't believe in God because I was angry. Now
2:30:49
Speaker 2: here is my result. I had cancer stage four. Now
2:30:52
Speaker 2: look at it medically verify. How do you deny that
2:30:58
Speaker 2: someone you know who was on a wilch today pushing
2:31:01
Speaker 2: his wheelchair somewhere running around healthier than you, someone grounded
2:31:06
Speaker 2: and left for dead, raised up by the power of
2:31:09
Speaker 2: the Holy Spirit, there is a gentleman. We need our
2:31:11
Speaker 2: generation to see a display of his power. Again. Power
2:31:15
Speaker 2: reminds all men that there is a God that sits
2:31:17
Speaker 2: in heaven. When men forget God, he uses his power
2:31:21
Speaker 2: to remind them of his person. There is a generation
2:31:24
Speaker 2: that may not seem to really respect character. As important
2:31:28
Speaker 2: as that is, God has never used character to call
2:31:32
Speaker 2: the attention of a rebellious generation. He uses his power.
2:31:36
Speaker 2: When he gets the attention, he now begins to teach
2:31:39
Speaker 2: them his ways and then finally brings them into conformity
2:31:43
Speaker 2: with his character. Are we together now when a rebellious generation,
2:31:48
Speaker 2: or a generation that is bedeviled in any way, when
2:31:52
Speaker 2: God wants to call your attention. Elijah did not stand
2:31:56
Speaker 2: their singing, praises and dancing. It was the power of
2:31:59
Speaker 2: God with Gideon, same with the three Hebrew Boys. The
2:32:03
Speaker 2: pattern has always preened first a display of his power.
2:32:09
Speaker 2: I'm the only one who is saved in a family
2:32:11
Speaker 2: of ten people. Let them see a demonstration of God's power.
2:32:15
Speaker 2: Beyond falling down and standing up, beyond just speaking. Giverish
2:32:19
Speaker 2: as a preacher, power, supernatural solutions by the spirit of God.
2:32:24
Speaker 2: That a man who you knew at January could not
2:32:27
Speaker 2: pay his house rand was not serious, but he started
2:32:30
Speaker 2: coming to Churche. By June. God has lifted him, changed
2:32:34
Speaker 2: his story, wiped his tears, heal the sick, happer ladies
2:32:38
Speaker 2: and gentlemen. Men have not grown to a level of
2:32:42
Speaker 2: civilization where the power of God becomes of non effect.
2:32:45
Speaker 2: The power of God is at the fact break of
2:32:48
Speaker 2: human living and it will be forever. You may not
2:32:52
Speaker 2: need a typewriter, and now again, you may not need
2:32:55
Speaker 2: certain things. You may not need certain elementary basic kinds
2:32:58
Speaker 2: of phones because technology as God. But one dimension that
2:33:02
Speaker 2: will never be outdated is the power of God. If
2:33:06
Speaker 2: you have the power of God, you are calling for
2:33:08
Speaker 2: all seasons. Allelujah. There are things that if you studied
2:33:15
Speaker 2: before with respect to the world, now you may need
2:33:18
Speaker 2: to reinvent yourself, but not power. It's a language that
2:33:22
Speaker 2: is understood in all realms. As for me, Oh, I
2:33:28
Speaker 2: told you last week, I have made a commitment under God.
2:33:32
Speaker 2: I am not satisfied with the level of power. I
2:33:35
Speaker 2: thank God for the wonderful things he has done. But
2:33:38
Speaker 2: with respect to the heights and the dimensions we seek
2:33:41
Speaker 2: to step into to represent the purposes of Jesus, there
2:33:45
Speaker 2: is a dimension of God's power that can save a
2:33:49
Speaker 2: nation in one day. We need to tap into that frequency.
2:33:54
Speaker 2: You're a man of God. You must thank God for
2:33:56
Speaker 2: what he has done, but not camp around it. Oh
2:33:58
Speaker 2: a man evangelist. I go to preciate our five people
2:34:01
Speaker 2: get in safe, thank God for it. But you cannot
2:34:04
Speaker 2: stay like that. Five people in a territory full of idolatry.
2:34:09
Speaker 2: Idolatry are all kinds of things, no RADI your Bible
2:34:14
Speaker 2: and see how nations were saved in one day. By
2:34:17
Speaker 2: the time five dead people rise up in one week,
2:34:21
Speaker 2: verified through your hands under God, with the glory going
2:34:25
Speaker 2: to God, it becomes too notable to be ignored. I've
2:34:33
Speaker 2: seen these things in my vision. So there are days
2:34:36
Speaker 2: before us. But it takes tamina and hunger and press.
2:34:41
Speaker 2: I pray to God many times and say, Lord, take
2:34:43
Speaker 2: away anything that will bring complacency in my life, the
2:34:48
Speaker 2: cancer of our rifle mentality. Drive it out of my life.
2:34:52
Speaker 2: Let me seek you like I've never found you. Let
2:34:54
Speaker 2: me seek you like I do not know so much,
2:34:57
Speaker 2: because it is true I do not know much. There
2:34:59
Speaker 2: are still the heights. This was the hunger of Paul
2:35:04
Speaker 2: that I may not him, that I may not him,
2:35:08
Speaker 2: that I may know him. A man who was killed,
2:35:12
Speaker 2: he got up, dos set himself and came back to
2:35:15
Speaker 2: life until his assignment was over. Have you tapped into
2:35:19
Speaker 2: that realm? Only a shoe will reign forever to your
2:35:28
Speaker 2: kingdom they'll be No.
2:35:33
Speaker 4: There are names, there are tiles, there are.
2:35:40
Speaker 2: Legends and tales of strength. But only a shoe we'll
2:35:48
Speaker 2: pay for.
2:35:51
Speaker 6: To his kingdomty No, Only a shoe will to estreme
2:36:07
Speaker 6: shoeing esteem.
2:36:16
Speaker 2: Help me in one of my visions were wrapping up
2:36:21
Speaker 2: many years ago. I was in a building. No, I
2:36:25
Speaker 2: came out of a building and it was like coffee
2:36:28
Speaker 2: was declared in a territory, and I was standing there
2:36:33
Speaker 2: and every normal, healthy human being had gone inside. The
2:36:37
Speaker 2: only people who were outside are people who were deformed
2:36:42
Speaker 2: named distressed. They were sitting in match and lined up.
2:36:47
Speaker 2: I found myself in the midst of people with all
2:36:50
Speaker 2: kinds of pain and sorrow, not just medical situations, not
2:36:54
Speaker 2: just biological deformities. But these were people dejected, like the
2:36:58
Speaker 2: men of David. And when I looked at them, I said,
2:37:03
Speaker 2: what kind of thing? I mean? It was an ugly description.
2:37:06
Speaker 2: It's not something anybody who loves God should see and
2:37:09
Speaker 2: be happy. No matter even if your heart is the
2:37:12
Speaker 2: heart of stone, it would be croustill it becomes a
2:37:15
Speaker 2: heart of flesh. And I saw them, they were helpless,
2:37:19
Speaker 2: and I remember hearing a voice, an audible voice in
2:37:23
Speaker 2: that vision, and he spoke to me, and he said,
2:37:26
Speaker 2: heal them all. This is not just physical healing, the
2:37:30
Speaker 2: healing annointed alone. That was one of the things that
2:37:33
Speaker 2: made me to go and start looking for the materials
2:37:35
Speaker 2: of Charles and Francis Hunter and Ampy Simple Macphesson. And
2:37:39
Speaker 2: I said, no, there's something a generation has not touched.
2:37:42
Speaker 2: Let's go back. The secret of the futureice in the past.
2:37:45
Speaker 2: We need to go back. And I began to study.
2:37:48
Speaker 2: I still have their materials. Today is still a project.
2:37:51
Speaker 2: I'm on. I don't know what those people did with
2:37:54
Speaker 2: God that brought them certain levels of grace. Alli Loud,
2:38:01
Speaker 2: certain levels of chrace. This man carried grace, They carried grace.
2:38:07
Speaker 2: Make God revivals or may God revivals in the name
2:38:11
Speaker 2: of Jesus, May God revive us. May God revivals and
2:38:14
Speaker 2: make us e power to be able to heal our land. Allelujah.
2:38:21
Speaker 2: Some of the miracles we celebrate today sincerely. They were
2:38:25
Speaker 2: the people who were the workers and the ushers in
2:38:28
Speaker 2: those ministries that worked in it. Now we thank God
2:38:31
Speaker 2: for what he has helped us do. The things we
2:38:33
Speaker 2: celebrate today will not even be clapped at during their days.
2:38:37
Speaker 2: They were men who were like gods. Smith Wiggo's what
2:38:41
Speaker 2: raises somebody who was dead and kept the person and
2:38:44
Speaker 2: tells him to jug back to life. He falls down
2:38:46
Speaker 2: like a pack of card, lifts him again, he falls down,
2:38:50
Speaker 2: and by the third time the man sniffs, and then
2:38:53
Speaker 2: he comes back to life. That was a casual miracle.
2:38:58
Speaker 2: A group of people look at not Catherine Coleman, now
2:39:03
Speaker 2: what's her name, the other woman Maria would want eat her,
2:39:08
Speaker 2: and they insulted her, and she just looked at them
2:39:11
Speaker 2: and said, the Lord, judge you. And the tongue of
2:39:13
Speaker 2: one of them protruded like a cancer and remained there
2:39:16
Speaker 2: till a committee came together and brought her to come
2:39:18
Speaker 2: and apologized, and she just slapped the tongue and it
2:39:21
Speaker 2: went down documented in history, and she came upon all.
2:39:27
Speaker 2: You see that now the mockery that has come to
2:39:30
Speaker 2: the House of God is because one person has not
2:39:33
Speaker 2: been used as a warning that there is sanctity and
2:39:37
Speaker 2: honor that surrounds priesthood. And that is not just by
2:39:41
Speaker 2: debate and shouting and all of that. You see, there
2:39:45
Speaker 2: is a gentleman, I'm challenging you tonight. There is power
2:39:49
Speaker 2: that can come upon you as a businessman. You will
2:39:52
Speaker 2: do business like a spirit, not like an individual. Again
2:39:55
Speaker 2: that there are heights you will scale. You will do
2:39:58
Speaker 2: certain things that will supper men and people who have
2:40:01
Speaker 2: to ask you and say how are you doing this,
2:40:04
Speaker 2: and you will tell them that beyond my intellectual progress,
2:40:08
Speaker 2: which is important, there are certain graces that are being
2:40:12
Speaker 2: stored to be bought like files from heaven upon a generation.
2:40:17
Speaker 2: My change for you tonight is that you decease from knowing,
2:40:21
Speaker 2: from advocating an unknown god, a god that is filled
2:40:26
Speaker 2: with gaps in your conviction, gaps in your confidence, that
2:40:30
Speaker 2: your life is played with all kinds of fear. You
2:40:33
Speaker 2: may preach with confidence, but living fear. You may talk
2:40:37
Speaker 2: with confidence, but living fear. COVID was a strong lesson
2:40:40
Speaker 2: to us that something was wrong with our convictions, that
2:40:44
Speaker 2: something about our confidence needed and upgrade only will rain
2:40:52
Speaker 2: for to his king and helving, no holy shoe will
2:41:04
Speaker 2: read for to his cheer healthy. No three more times
2:41:12
Speaker 2: holy shoe what will read for it.
2:41:18
Speaker 5: To his cheener, belthy, No holy shoe out shoes painful
2:41:30
Speaker 5: to his chen belthy, No.
2:41:35
Speaker 2: Shoe up will wad for all? Let him God ask me.
2:41:48
Speaker 2: This is now the reason why I asked you to start.
2:41:51
Speaker 2: When I was praying, the Lord told me that there's
2:41:54
Speaker 2: a few people that He's going to be raising as signs. Listen,
2:41:59
Speaker 2: they are we to be demonstrators of His power, signs
2:42:04
Speaker 2: a few people. And I first prayed for myself. I said, Lord,
2:42:08
Speaker 2: I must become one of such people. Now I want
2:42:11
Speaker 2: to pray for you. Lord. I pray that you find
2:42:14
Speaker 2: men and women in the midst of your people, men
2:42:17
Speaker 2: who will be signs, sign posts showing men the possibilities
2:42:23
Speaker 2: that are captured in this divide life. Therefore, I stretch
2:42:27
Speaker 2: my hands in the name of Jesus Christ, by the
2:42:31
Speaker 2: election of Christ, I decree and declare that the grace
2:42:35
Speaker 2: that makes you a sign and a wonder in ministry,
2:42:39
Speaker 2: in your profession, in business, in family, may that crazy
2:42:43
Speaker 2: rest upon you now. May that crazy rest upon you
2:42:50
Speaker 2: now rest upon you. Now your life ceases to be
2:42:55
Speaker 2: ordinary from tonight, a sign and a wonder. Your life
2:43:01
Speaker 2: becomes a Bible for many to read, a compendium of
2:43:06
Speaker 2: the manlyful wonders of God. In the name of Jesus Christ.
2:43:12
Speaker 2: Only we'll wait for two is kin healthy. No. For
2:43:23
Speaker 2: some of you, the sign that will rest from you
2:43:27
Speaker 2: is the favor of God. For some of you, the
2:43:29
Speaker 2: sign that work we rest on you is the healing annoysing.
2:43:33
Speaker 2: For some of you, the sign that will rest on
2:43:36
Speaker 2: you is strenge influence inexplannable influence. For some of you,
2:43:41
Speaker 2: the sign that we rest on you is that cannot
2:43:45
Speaker 2: be described. For some of you, the sign that wo
2:43:48
Speaker 2: rest on you is the demonstration of the gift of
2:43:51
Speaker 2: the Spirit at the level that men have not saved.
2:43:55
Speaker 2: For some of you, the sign that God will give
2:43:58
Speaker 2: you is empire. How I maintain your mind extra honorary intelligence,
2:44:05
Speaker 2: But by all means may that sign be represented in
2:44:08
Speaker 2: your life. I am the children as the Lord has
2:44:14
Speaker 2: given me. The Bible says we are for signs, for signs,
2:44:19
Speaker 2: for times that are worship us. That who becomes signs
2:44:23
Speaker 2: you will not just sink songs. There will be mysteries
2:44:26
Speaker 2: from your voice to the nation that are preachers that
2:44:29
Speaker 2: will not just be preachan as it were, but signs
2:44:32
Speaker 2: and wonders. Your life becomes a case study that men
2:44:37
Speaker 2: use your life to learn cards. Financial signs arise, favor,
2:44:44
Speaker 2: times arise in access or times arise. In the name
2:44:50
Speaker 2: of Jasons Christ, listen, when you want to go to
2:45:02
Speaker 2: a restaurant that you have never been before. When you
2:45:06
Speaker 2: are close to the Vicinity and you are in doubt
2:45:10
Speaker 2: as to whether to turn left or right. You may
2:45:13
Speaker 2: not have seen the actual building, but you look for
2:45:16
Speaker 2: the signpost. The signpost number one tells you you are near,
2:45:20
Speaker 2: and then it directs you more accurately into it. I'm
2:45:23
Speaker 2: about to pray that prayer that someone who is confused
2:45:26
Speaker 2: about God, confused about how favor works, confused about how
2:45:31
Speaker 2: consecration works, confused about how the spirit of revelation functions
2:45:35
Speaker 2: in a man, confused as to how men can because
2:45:39
Speaker 2: toodians of the mysteries of God, confused as to how
2:45:42
Speaker 2: God can trust men with nations. In the name of Jesus, tonight,
2:45:47
Speaker 2: may your life be an explanation to divine mysteries. May
2:45:53
Speaker 2: your life be an explanation to define mysteries. In the
2:45:59
Speaker 2: name of Jesus. The last prayer I speak over you
2:46:05
Speaker 2: free his character, knowing God, his ways, knowing God, and
2:46:13
Speaker 2: then his power. For many of us who have desired
2:46:16
Speaker 2: to know God, you are firsted. You have prayed. Now
2:46:19
Speaker 2: God has created a fearing for you. This tree is
2:46:23
Speaker 2: not all to know about God. But as far as
2:46:26
Speaker 2: this dimension of our existence is concerned, God will only
2:46:30
Speaker 2: be captured and reviewed to men under these three channels,
2:46:34
Speaker 2: his character, his ways, and his power. Any route to
2:46:41
Speaker 2: knowing God beyond this, as much as skipture reveals, will
2:46:45
Speaker 2: only tild you to error and divination. That any man
2:46:49
Speaker 2: who seeks to know God must explore God through the
2:46:53
Speaker 2: platform of his character, the platform of his ways, and
2:46:57
Speaker 2: the platform of his power. I decree and declare every
2:47:02
Speaker 2: dimension of that revelation that is currently deficient in your life.
2:47:06
Speaker 2: I call upon my God, who is also your God,
2:47:09
Speaker 2: that by his Spirit, who has been mandated to be
2:47:11
Speaker 2: the revealer of all things, even the deep things of God,
2:47:15
Speaker 2: made the spirit of revelation rest upon you. Made the
2:47:21
Speaker 2: spirit of revelation rest upon you. In the name of
2:47:26
Speaker 2: Jesus Christ. You can know God accurately when you know
2:47:33
Speaker 2: his character. You can know God accurately when you understand
2:47:38
Speaker 2: his ways. You can know God accurately when you know
2:47:43
Speaker 2: his power. The proof that you have encountered His character
2:47:47
Speaker 2: is that there is a conformity in your life to
2:47:51
Speaker 2: become like Jesus christ Inexperience and experience and shall conformity
2:47:57
Speaker 2: is proof that you have encountered His character. And then
2:48:01
Speaker 2: the absence of fear. Fear is replaced with reverence in
2:48:05
Speaker 2: your life that you refer Him, but not here after
2:48:09
Speaker 2: the flesh. Number two, when you understand the ways of God,
2:48:14
Speaker 2: the proof is excellence as far as living in the cosmos,
2:48:18
Speaker 2: the superiority of the way of God. When you know
2:48:22
Speaker 2: the way of God, are we together? Now you will
2:48:25
Speaker 2: triumph as far as destiny, actualization, and fulfilling the purposes
2:48:30
Speaker 2: of God is concerned. But then your dominion in experience
2:48:35
Speaker 2: is established. When you know his power. Now you access
2:48:41
Speaker 2: in truth the grace to demonstrate and to validate as
2:48:45
Speaker 2: a witness that He is King, that He is Lord.
2:48:49
Speaker 2: And this one is very important, especially because of the
2:48:53
Speaker 2: context of the world and the civilization that we live
2:48:56
Speaker 2: in now. This world needs to see the power of
2:48:59
Speaker 2: God falling down beyond rising up. As wonderful as that is.
2:49:04
Speaker 2: Supernatural solutions, super imposing systems and structures, that your words
2:49:10
Speaker 2: no longer become barring, no important, Your life becomes an
2:49:16
Speaker 2: explanation to define mysteries. That as she takes you from
2:49:20
Speaker 2: nation to nation, you literally entire nation and keep it,
2:49:24
Speaker 2: that it standstill, not just in terms of the canality
2:49:28
Speaker 2: by the flesh, but that your life is you become
2:49:31
Speaker 2: such a longstern a weakness. Indeed, there are many many
2:49:37
Speaker 2: Christians in Abuja, many children of God, sincerely so, but
2:49:43
Speaker 2: there are few people who have truly known God in
2:49:48
Speaker 2: his character, who have understood his ways. There are many
2:49:52
Speaker 2: things we complain about that should never be prayer points.
2:49:56
Speaker 2: The answer to them are shrouded in knowing the ways
2:49:59
Speaker 2: of God. And yet in the midst of all our
2:50:04
Speaker 2: services and all that we do respectfully, it looks seems
2:50:08
Speaker 2: to me like evil continues to multiply within our horizon.
2:50:13
Speaker 2: It seems they have no honor and regard for our consecration.
2:50:17
Speaker 2: It seems they have no honor regard for our loyalty,
2:50:19
Speaker 2: our profession of faith. Something is wrong. There needs to
2:50:23
Speaker 2: be a restoration of authentic power the Church or the believers.
2:50:29
Speaker 2: The men in Heathens, they were devout superstitious, religious, zealous,
2:50:36
Speaker 2: sincere dedicated. But all that was to an unknown God.
2:50:41
Speaker 2: Now he calls us to take away that inscription and
2:50:46
Speaker 2: to rewrite for ourselves and for a generation to see
2:50:49
Speaker 2: that God can be known and He can be known accurately.
2:50:53
Speaker 2: If Paul did it, we can do it. We can
2:50:56
Speaker 2: disciple and mentor a generation methodically to know God by
2:51:01
Speaker 2: revealing his character, showing them his ways, and ultimately demonstrating
2:51:07
Speaker 2: his power. May that be our reality beginning from now,
2:51:12
Speaker 2: in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray, let me
2:51:17
Speaker 2: make the altar call. You are here and you've heard
2:51:20
Speaker 2: me teach, and Jesus is speaking to you that it
2:51:23
Speaker 2: is time to make it right with him. You want
2:51:26
Speaker 2: to know God John seventeen three. Jesus said, this is
2:51:30
Speaker 2: eternal life, that they may know thee, the one True God,
2:51:35
Speaker 2: and Jesus, whom thou hast sent. It is always a
2:51:38
Speaker 2: joy to make this altar call. And there are many
2:51:41
Speaker 2: people who came to church and you need to run
2:51:44
Speaker 2: to Jesus. I'm going to make two calls in one.
2:51:47
Speaker 2: You have never made this decision genuinely, and you are saying, Appostle,
2:51:50
Speaker 2: please give me a chance to make it right with Jesus.
2:51:53
Speaker 2: Or number two. You are saying, I want to re
2:51:55
Speaker 2: dedicate my life. I begin my counting now one to five.
2:51:59
Speaker 2: Please with your seat and wrong, with boldness and confidence.
2:52:02
Speaker 2: Come and stand here. Let's celebrate them as they come.
2:52:05
Speaker 2: Do not wait for someone to be the first. Please stand,
2:52:08
Speaker 2: God bless you, Corinonia. Is this the best you can do? Come?
2:52:13
Speaker 2: Come true? Run to Jesus. The Bible calls him the Way,
2:52:20
Speaker 2: the truth, and even the life. It says, as many
2:52:23
Speaker 2: who will come to you, you will in no wise
2:52:25
Speaker 2: cast away? Are you still celebrating salvation? Come to Jesus,
2:52:30
Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen. He's able to give you a new beginning.
2:52:33
Speaker 2: Doesn't matter how you have moved in defiance, as far
2:52:37
Speaker 2: as the will of God is concerned. Come, God bless you,
2:52:48
Speaker 2: young and oh come, male and female, Come from all
2:52:54
Speaker 2: walks of life. So joy and a pleasure for me
2:52:58
Speaker 2: to lead you to this Jesus. Now he is not
2:53:00
Speaker 2: an unknown god. He seeks to be known as great
2:53:04
Speaker 2: and manifold as he is in his wisdom and his ways.
2:53:07
Speaker 2: Inasmuch as there is no suching of his understanding, I
2:53:10
Speaker 2: want you to know that he can be known. Do
2:53:13
Speaker 2: not ever leave your Christian experience with this gap and
2:53:17
Speaker 2: this ignorance that God does not want to be known
2:53:21
Speaker 2: as mysterious and as mighty, as manifold, as vast as
2:53:24
Speaker 2: he is. It is true that we will never exhaust
2:53:27
Speaker 2: learning Him, but He designed a curriculum for us in
2:53:31
Speaker 2: this side of his kingdom that can help us know
2:53:34
Speaker 2: him sufficiently. Beyond the shores of this our civilization. We
2:53:39
Speaker 2: will be given a nothermn manuscript as we advance in
2:53:43
Speaker 2: knowing him. But for now he has left us with
2:53:46
Speaker 2: a compendium of his character, his ways, and access to
2:53:50
Speaker 2: his power. You're joining them, Join them quickly. I want
2:53:53
Speaker 2: to lead you to pray and all the overflows. Please
2:53:56
Speaker 2: do same. Walk to the front of your projector's creen,
2:53:59
Speaker 2: and for all who are fallen from across the globe,
2:54:02
Speaker 2: any nation watching by television, watching by Internet. Is my
2:54:06
Speaker 2: joy and honor to lead you to this Jesus the Father,
2:54:10
Speaker 2: and even his son, whom he sent as a mediator,
2:54:14
Speaker 2: a reconciler. He's brought us now through a new and
2:54:17
Speaker 2: living way. We do not work in fear again. We
2:54:21
Speaker 2: are now the family of faith. And for these precious
2:54:24
Speaker 2: ones who are coming after your declaration of faith, and
2:54:27
Speaker 2: by the integrity of scripture, the Bible lets us know
2:54:30
Speaker 2: that a translation happens from the kingdom of darkness to
2:54:34
Speaker 2: the kingdom of His yes son. Thank you, by the
2:54:36
Speaker 2: way for making this noble decision. Thank you for someone
2:54:39
Speaker 2: in the courage to come. You're doing this before Jesus.
2:54:42
Speaker 2: Please lift your right hand high above your head as
2:54:45
Speaker 2: a sign of surrender. And I want you to say
2:54:47
Speaker 2: this after me, believing with all your heart that He's
2:54:50
Speaker 2: hearing you. Say, Lord Jesus, tonight, I have heard your word.
2:54:56
Speaker 2: I believe in you that you are the Son of God.
2:55:01
Speaker 2: I believe that you died for my sin. I believe
2:55:06
Speaker 2: that you rose again for my justification. Right now I
2:55:12
Speaker 2: receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord,
2:55:18
Speaker 2: and my King. I declare that the power of sin, Satan, hell,
2:55:28
Speaker 2: and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight,
2:55:35
Speaker 2: I'm a child of God. Can you hear me? From tonight?
2:55:40
Speaker 2: I'm a child of God and I go for whatever
2:55:46
Speaker 2: in Jesus. Apologies for the breaking sound, my sincere apologies.
2:55:54
Speaker 2: I'm sorry that something may have happened. Please accept our
2:55:56
Speaker 2: kind apologies. In Jesus' name, Allelujah. Now here's what I
2:56:01
Speaker 2: want you to do for me. There are counselors that
2:56:04
Speaker 2: buy my right, which will be all left. Please, all
2:56:07
Speaker 2: of you in concert, would you move and you'll have
2:56:10
Speaker 2: a quick word. They'll have a quick word with you
2:56:12
Speaker 2: and you'll be back. Let's all know them as they go. Cooynonia.
2:56:15
Speaker 2: Is this the best you can do? Allelujah? Praise the Lord. Amen,
2:56:23
Speaker 2: please rise up on your feet now. Just two announcements
2:56:27
Speaker 2: very quickly allelujah. By the way, my apologies again, I'm

Speaker 2: sure something may have happened with the power. I'll do
2:56:36
Speaker 2: it proper announcement by next week. The miracle service, but
2:56:41

Speaker 2: and Sunday together. Saturday is going to be a worship experience.
2:56:54
Speaker 2: Our worship team, together with yours, Allelujah, is going to
2:56:59
Speaker 2: be a reign of God's glory in displace. Worship people.

2:57:23
Speaker 2: And then by the miracle service next next week, I
2:57:27
Speaker 2: will come with a word, especially for our American and
2:57:30
Speaker 2: Canadian families. I know that many of you have been
2:57:33
Speaker 2: in suspense for when we're going to come. My sincere apologies.
2:57:38
Speaker 2: We're global family, and so I will just give a
2:57:40
Speaker 2: word just to guide and help us know what it
2:57:43
Speaker 2: is that we need to do. And all other regions,
2:57:46
Speaker 2: several regions are said, how about us, by God's grace,
2:57:48
Speaker 2: will go around it, whether virtually or physically. The most
2:57:52
Speaker 2: important thing is that Jesus comes through us. Praise the
2:57:55
Speaker 2: name of the Lord. And so please be patient any
2:57:58
Speaker 2: region that God has not granted us grace to visit physically.
2:58:02
Speaker 2: We're not exalting other regions above others. We know that
2:58:06
Speaker 2: God will grant us grace. And remember this assignment is
2:58:09
Speaker 2: for the whole body of Christ, so we only have
2:58:12
Speaker 2: portions of it, and our mandate is to be obedient
2:58:15
Speaker 2: within our job description. Allelujah. But eventually the knowledge of
2:58:20
Speaker 2: the glory of the Lord will cover the whole earth
2:58:22
Speaker 2: as the water has the sea in Jesus' name. So
2:58:26
Speaker 2: next week is our miracle service. For the month of August,
2:58:29
Speaker 2: there will be a time of prayer the word healing
2:58:33
Speaker 2: and deliverance. Please make sure that people who need a
2:58:36
Speaker 2: touch from heaven that you bring them your loved ones
2:58:39
Speaker 2: and even people you do not know, Allelujah. And families
2:58:43
Speaker 2: you know who have been under all kinds of bondages,
2:58:47
Speaker 2: invite them. And for those who are online, make sure
2:58:50
Speaker 2: that as many connect by faith. Unlet's exalt the name
2:58:53
Speaker 2: of Jesus as we see that His kingdom come in
