- 0:06designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
- 0:09walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
- 0:13the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
- 0:17right in. 1 Corinthians 12. Verse 10. To another
- 0:28the working of miracles. And to another what?
- 0:32Prophecy. Hallelujah. Praise God. So today, what
- 0:35we're talking about today to complete the part
- 0:37on the gifts of the prophecy is the gift of prophecy
- 0:40in the believer today. The gift of prophecy in
- 0:44the believer when? Today. Please, if you don't
- 0:48have a writing material, you can use your phone.
- 0:50There's a notes part on your phone. You can just
- 0:52take the notes there because these words will
- 0:55benefit you. Amen. So the church. It's not a
- 0:58place where you come and then do it like concert.
- 1:01The church is a training school for the believer.
- 1:04Praise God. The believer is taught the word.
- 1:06The believer is trained in the word of righteousness
- 1:08and in the word of faith. Amen. The believer
- 1:11grows and he is not only equipped, but that he
- 1:15measures up to the fullness of who? Of Christ.
- 1:18Hallelujah. Praise God. So when you come to the
- 1:22believer's training school like this, on a Saturday,
- 1:25on a Sunday, on a Wednesday, on a Friday. Come
- 1:28for lecture time to be taught and to be equipped.
- 1:33Praise God. So, we read 1 Corinthians 12 verse
- 1:3910. Let me read it again. To another, the walking
- 1:41of miracles. To another, prophecy. To another,
- 1:43discerning of spirits. To another, diverse kinds
- 1:46of tongues. To another, the interpretation of
- 1:49what? Of tongues. Hallelujah. So one of the things
- 1:53that we're able to establish that the word prophecy
- 1:56was translated from the Greek word prophetia,
- 2:00right? Yes, prophetia, which is from the root
- 2:04word prophetio. Praise God. And the word prophetia
- 2:09or prophetio, right? The root word is to prophesy
- 2:14and prophesy means to speak forth. Hallelujah.
- 2:18Amen. If you have seen the documentary of Volcano,
- 2:23right? If you have seen the documentary of Volcano,
- 2:26suddenly there will be a crack on the ground,
- 2:29right? And then there is this molten magma that
- 2:32will do what? That will suddenly what? Erop!
- 2:36Hallelujah. That's the strength of that word
- 2:39prophetio, right? To bubble up with words. Hallelujah.
- 2:44To speak forth. With words. On the spur of the
- 2:48moment. And we say that to speak forth under
- 2:52the inspiration of the Holy Ghost. Praise God.
- 2:57So the source of our speaking is from who? From
- 3:01the Holy Ghost. So when I bubble with words,
- 3:05when I speak forth with words, instantly that
- 3:09inspiration, that utterance is coming from where?
- 3:12From the Holy Ghost. So the believer is a man,
- 3:16when it comes to the gifts of the prophecy, the
- 3:19believer is a man under the inspiration of the
- 3:23Holy Ghost, right? That will always speak. Speak
- 3:27what? The will of God. The mind of God. The plans
- 3:31of God. The purposes of God. So the believer...
- 3:36He's a man under the inspiration of the Holy
- 3:39Ghost. Why the inspiration of the Holy Ghost?
- 3:41Because that is the Spirit he has received. Amen?
- 3:46Yes, so the believer has received what? The Holy
- 3:49Ghost. So the source of his inspiration should
- 3:52not be from another spirit, but from where? But
- 3:56from the Holy Ghost. So however, that is why
- 4:00the believer ought to be careful to be taught
- 4:02and trained. If the believer is not taught and
- 4:05trained in the word of faith, the believer can
- 4:08hear words from demons and still say them. Do
- 4:15you hear what I said? I didn't say the demons
- 4:18are inside him. Amen? I said he can what? He
- 4:22can hear words from where? From demons. One.
- 4:27He can also hear words from non -believers. And
- 4:34he will do what? He will speak them. So if the
- 4:38believer is not taught and trained, the reality
- 4:43and the source of inspiration can change. So
- 4:47what is going to happen is that he will despise
- 4:49the source of his inspiration, the Holy Ghost,
- 4:52and he will look for another source of what?
- 4:55Inspiration. So in the gifts of prophecy, the
- 5:01believer must be careful to stay on the source,
- 5:05to stay with the source, who is the Holy Ghost.
- 5:09Hallelujah. That is prophecy. Amen. Speaking
- 5:13forth, bubbling forth with words. However, on
- 5:17the spur of the moment. Do you know what I said?
- 5:20On the what? On the spur of the moment. The words
- 5:23you are speaking, they are not plain words. Amen.
- 5:28That is why one of the things that will deprive
- 5:31you from receiving from one another is familiarity.
- 5:36Is he not pastorifying? I know him and I know
- 5:39he knows all my troubles and fears and concerns.
- 5:42So I know if he's going to speak now, he is going
- 5:45to speak from the abundance of his heart because
- 5:48he knows me. Pastor Victor says something. He
- 5:53says something that every time we meet, we are
- 5:56meeting to do what? In fact, let me add one word
- 5:58to bring value to the other person. Acts chapter
- 6:041. Let me say something here. Acts chapter 1.
- 6:08See what the scripture says about Christ. Acts
- 6:10chapter 1 verse 3. had given commandment unto
- 6:27the apostles, whom he hath, what? Chosen three
- 6:30now, to whom also, Acts chapter 1, from verse
- 6:341 to 3, to whom also he showed himself, how?
- 6:39Alive, after his, what? His passion, his death,
- 6:43burial, and what? And resurrection, by how many
- 6:46proofs? By many infallible, what? Proofs being
- 6:51seen of them 40 days and speaking of the things
- 6:55pertaining to what? To the kingdom of God. When
- 6:59you now go back to Luke 24, you will see some
- 7:02of the things that he had to show them for them
- 7:04to know that Christ... Luke 24. Now see the infallible
- 7:09proofs now. Some of the infallible proofs now.
- 7:12One of the proofs which we know in this church
- 7:14is that he taught them. Hallelujah. And his teachings
- 7:17that he taught them, he opened their understanding.
- 7:19All the things that the prophet has spoken concerning
- 7:22what? Concerning him. He brought those things
- 7:24open, bare unto them. Amen? That is the major
- 7:28proof. Any other proof we are going to talk about
- 7:31here are minor. For example now, right? Luke
- 7:3424. Luke 24. Verse 36. And as he and... As their
- 7:42thoughts spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst
- 7:44of them and said unto them, Peace be unto you.
- 7:46But they were terrified and affrighted. And suppose
- 7:49that they had seen a what? And he said unto them,
- 7:53Why ye trouble? And why do thoughts arise in
- 7:56your heart? Behold my what? My hands and my feet,
- 8:01that it is I what? Myself. Handle me and see.
- 8:08For a spirit hath not what? flesh and bones,
- 8:12as ye see me have. And when he had thus spoken,
- 8:15he showed them his hands and his feet. And while
- 8:17they had not believed, not for the joy wondered,
- 8:19and he said unto them, Have ye here any what?
- 8:22Any meat. And they gave him a piece of broiled
- 8:26fish, and of a what? And a honeycomb, and a what?
- 8:30And he took it, and did eat what? Before them.
- 8:36By now they now believe that he is not a spirit.
- 8:39After they now believe there is not a spirit,
- 8:42since spirits don't eat this kind of food. Spirit
- 8:46cannot eat fish and broiled fish and honey. Right?
- 8:50Then 44 now. He now said, and he said unto them,
- 8:55These are what? These are the words. Hallelujah.
- 9:00Do you know that Jesus is still alive today with
- 9:04infallible proofs? Ha! No, no, no, no, no, no.
- 9:09Do you know that Jesus is still alive today with
- 9:13infallible proofs? But the proofs are not eating
- 9:17food now. They are not honeycomb. Amen? We read
- 9:25somewhere in Acts chapter 4, verse 29. It said,
- 9:29Lord, behold their what? Threatenings. Grant
- 9:32unto thy servants that with all boldness that
- 9:35we may what? That we may speak. You can put it
- 9:37up. Acts chapter 4. Right? That we may speak.
- 9:40Stretch forth your hands. Hallelujah. Do what?
- 9:45Stretch forth your hands and heal in the name
- 9:51of thy holy son who? Jesus Christ. How is God
- 9:55stretching forth his hands? Through us. How is
- 9:59the infallible proof that Jesus is alive happening
- 10:03today? How is this happening today? Through whom?
- 10:07Through us, believers. So the gifts of prophecy
- 10:13in the believer is one infallible proof that
- 10:16Jesus is alive. Do you hear what I said? The
- 10:24gifts of prophecy in the believer is also what?
- 10:27One infallible what? Proof. Because when it comes,
- 10:31it reveals the mind of God. It reveals the purposes
- 10:36of God. It reveals the will of God for the believer
- 10:39now. Praise God. So one of the things that we
- 10:47see also that the scripture has told us, which
- 10:48we've learned here, that the prophets spoke as
- 10:51they were inspired by who? By the Spirit of God.
- 10:54Amen? So that which way that the prophet did,
- 10:57same root word. In prophecy, same root word.
- 11:01There is foretelling and there is foretelling.
- 11:05Prophecy has two meanings. There is foretelling,
- 11:09F -O -R -E, foretelling, and there is what? Foretelling,
- 11:15F -O -R -T -H, telling. Foretelling, F -O -R
- 11:20-E, and there is foretelling, F -O -R -T -H.
- 11:26Foretelling is what we saw or what we see in
- 11:30the scriptures that Moses, right? And the other
- 11:34prophets spoke about God's plans that will be
- 11:38fulfilled in Jesus Christ. So foretelling was
- 11:41revealing. The prophets were revealing the things.
- 11:43It's a futuristic, the things God is going to
- 11:47do. God's commitment for humanity, but happening
- 11:50in the future. In who? In Christ Jesus. But foretelling
- 11:58is not in the future. It's when? It's now. So
- 12:05the gift of prophecy is what? Foretelling. Now
- 12:11reality. So the believer is not going to prophesy
- 12:16that another Jesus will be given birth again.
- 12:20Do you understand? So the believer is not going
- 12:23to say there will be another woman, a virgin,
- 12:26she will be from Casablanca. You know, some people
- 12:33have, before I say Casablanca, some people have
- 12:35mentioned Casablanca. You know, a virgin from
- 12:38Casablanca, right? In the village of Timbuktu.
- 12:44You know, and then she will, there will be a
- 12:47child, he will be in a manger and they will go,
- 12:50hmm, hmm, speak papa. The gifts of prophecy for
- 12:59the believer went today, now. All of God's promises,
- 13:06his plans, his commitments for humanity. has
- 13:12been fulfilled in Christ Jesus. You need this
- 13:16now because of the things I want to say. All
- 13:19of God's promises, his plans, his commitment
- 13:23for humanity has been fulfilled in who? In Christ
- 13:26Jesus. So, Sama, what will gifts of prophecy
- 13:31do to us? If they have been fulfilled in Christ
- 13:36Jesus, gifts of prophecy, when the believer speaks
- 13:39it, will reveal those plans for the now. Praise
- 13:42God. Hallelujah. Oh, it will bring direction
- 13:46now. It will bring clarity when? Now. It will
- 13:50bring comfort when? Now. It will bring instruction
- 13:53when? Now. But all of these things that are coming
- 13:56are happening in who? In Christ Jesus. It's important
- 13:59that it must happen in Christ Jesus. It's important
- 14:04that it must happen in who? In Christ Jesus.
- 14:07Praise God. Hallelujah. Purpose of the gift of
- 14:13prophecy. Purpose or purpose. Purpose. Okay.
- 14:22Let me say the way we say in my village. Purpose.
- 14:27Praise God. You know, I have an English teacher,
- 14:30Mr. Jabez, but he let her change his name to...
- 14:34No. He changed his name to God... Is it God Will?
- 14:40Or God knows. Or God something. He changed his
- 14:43name to God something. Because his name Jabez
- 14:46continued to produce suffering. Seriously, oh.
- 14:51He was the senior staff in my secondary school.
- 14:54But he was the miserable staff in my school.
- 14:57My principal called him Jabez. He is the one
- 15:00that will run. Coppers, they will call them.
- 15:02They will not run. Go to my office and get Cain.
- 15:05This man will run from the assembly ground to
- 15:07the principal office. Get something. I don't
- 15:11know what's the spiritual thing behind it. But
- 15:13immediately he changed his name. He married.
- 15:17I'm serious. When he changed his name, I don't
- 15:20know anything spiritual about Jagat. I don't
- 15:21know. I'm just saying what we saw. When he changed
- 15:24his name, he married. When he changed his name,
- 15:27he built his own house. When he changed his name,
- 15:30his life changed. Sincerely, I cannot tell you
- 15:34anything about it. For whatever reason, I don't
- 15:43know. So, but you know, this man, he was our
- 15:53English teacher. So he was teaching us English
- 15:56phonetics. He say, he's not, once you say, popos,
- 16:00you said, Takunda, give Kolade a knock. He said,
- 16:11it's not purpose, it's purpose. I said, hey.
- 16:17Praise God. The purpose. My wife said, please,
- 16:25I hope you know you will become global. All this
- 16:28is your Newman English. The purpose. You know,
- 16:32I saw Pastor Victor's video. It was just his
- 16:35English. I said, ah, my brother. Hallelujah.
- 16:46That was a joke. Amen. The gifts of prophecy
- 16:50has a purpose. Hallelujah. Praise God. So let's
- 16:53look at the purpose of the gifts of prophecy.
- 16:55Please, as we are discussing this, pay attention
- 16:57because now you will begin to know why the gifts
- 17:00of prophecy are important and why the believer,
- 17:03when he is given a gift of prophecy, what we
- 17:06should begin to see as the content of what he
- 17:09is saying. When we say a purpose of a thing,
- 17:11what do we mean? The function of a thing, yes.
- 17:17The reason for a thing, yes. The why of a thing,
- 17:22yes. Another word? The importance of a thing,
- 17:33right? Good. So which means that Acts chapter
- 17:371 verse 8. Acts chapter 1 verse 8. Acts chapter
- 17:461 verse 8. See what the scripture says. But ye
- 17:50shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost
- 17:52is what? Is come upon you and ye shall be what?
- 17:57Witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem and in all
- 18:00what? Judea and in what? Samaria and unto the
- 18:03uttermost part of what? Part of the earth. Right?
- 18:06And that word witness is the word matiah. Right?
- 18:10When you check the word witness, it's the word
- 18:12what? Mattiah. And Mattiah is not somebody that
- 18:15they say he laid, put his head and they cut him.
- 18:18Right? When you check the meaning of Mattiah,
- 18:20it's not a person that put his head and then
- 18:22they do what? They slaughter and say, ah, this
- 18:25man, he died for Jesus. That word Mattiah, when
- 18:29you check it, it's a legal word. Amen? It's a
- 18:34legal what? When we say you are a witness, it
- 18:38means that you have seen something, you have
- 18:41touched something, right? And you are the only
- 18:44person that has been legalized to have a proof.
- 18:48If you say that thing, everybody will believe
- 18:50it. You are the only person that can stand for
- 18:55a case and the judge can give a verdict on that
- 18:59thing. Why? Because you have seen something,
- 19:03you have touched something or you have an information
- 19:06and that information is a high priority information.
- 19:12And anytime and anywhere you say that thing,
- 19:15nobody can say you are what? You are lying. So,
- 19:21when they bring them to court, they will enter
- 19:23a box and they will make them to do what? To
- 19:26swear. When they swear, they are bound under
- 19:30a legal authority. That everything I will say
- 19:35here is true to this case. The presence of the
- 19:41Holy Ghost in the believer has legalized the
- 19:46believer to have a proof that Jesus is alive.
- 19:52So we are not mere men roaming about the surface
- 19:56of the earth. without a legal authority bounding
- 20:00over us. He said, ye shall receive what? Power.
- 20:05After that, the Holy Ghost is what? It's come
- 20:07upon you. Let me repeat what I said. So which
- 20:09means the believer, the believer is a man that
- 20:14is legalized by the Spirit of God to prove that
- 20:20Jesus is what? He's alive. So connect this thing
- 20:26that I just said now to the purpose of the gift
- 20:29of what? Prophecy. So which means that the believer
- 20:35is not just prophesying. The believer is giving
- 20:40proofs. Hallelujah. Praise God. And that proof
- 20:46is to better the local church. That proof is
- 20:50to better the what? The local church. 1 Corinthians
- 20:5314 verse 3 now. 1 Corinthians 14 verse 3. After
- 21:02this particular topic, every one of us would
- 21:06desire it more. Hallelujah. 1 Corinthians 14
- 21:09verse 3. But he that prophesied, speaketh, will
- 21:15read. Okay, let's retrain. But he that prophesied
- 21:22speaks what? Speaks, speaketh unto men. To who?
- 21:30He that prophesied speaketh unto who? He that
- 21:34prophesied speaketh unto who? So your prophecy
- 21:37is for who? Your prophecy is for who? And when
- 21:42you prophesy, what happens? See what happens
- 21:44now. For their edification and exhortation and
- 21:48what? And comfort, straight. Now let's start
- 21:51this class very fast now. What is the purpose
- 21:54of prophecy? Edification and exhortation and
- 22:00comfort. Hallelujah. So when somebody walks up
- 22:03to you and gives you a word of prophecy and then
- 22:07tells you it's by the Spirit of God, what you
- 22:09should be setting out in those speakings are
- 22:12what? Edification. Hallelujah. Which is what?
- 22:16Which is exaltation and what? And comfort. Hallelujah.
- 22:21So now, you will see why Paul will say prophecy
- 22:25throughout 1 Corinthians 14 is about edification.
- 22:29Edification. Edification. That word to edify,
- 22:32which we know here, is oikodomio. Or oikodom.
- 22:38Why are we going back to the root words? We are
- 22:40going back to the Greek words. Right? So that
- 22:43we will know the context of why that word is
- 22:46used. Amen? That word oikodomeo is O -I -K -O
- 22:51-D -O -M -E -O. O -I -K -O -D -O -M -E -O. Oikodomeo.
- 22:57And it means to build. Ah, I just got something
- 23:03now. It means to what? To build. that every time
- 23:08I come to Pastor Imah and I'm speaking the words
- 23:11of the prophecy to him by the Spirit of God,
- 23:14kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick, kick,
- 23:18I'm building, I'm building. Oh boy, with my mouth,
- 23:23say with my mouth, say with my mouth, by the
- 23:26Spirit of the Lord, with my mouth, I build lives.
- 23:30I don't tear down lives. I don't tear down places.
- 23:34I build lives. So every time you speak under
- 23:38the inspiration of the Spirit of God, you are
- 23:41building lives. You are building systems. You
- 23:45are building people. You see, your words are
- 23:50not ordinary. So don't just look at situations.
- 23:55I got this now from somebody. The next time you
- 23:58have an opportunity to speak, don't say negative
- 24:00things. Hallelujah. Don't say what? The more
- 24:05you say negative things, you tear down those
- 24:07people. The more you say negative things, you
- 24:09tear down that system. The more you say negative
- 24:11things, you tear down the entire environment.
- 24:14Don't say negative things. Remember that words
- 24:18from your mouth should edify, should build. They
- 24:23should build. They should build. They should
- 24:27build. They should what? They should build. Have
- 24:37you ever seen anybody takes time to build? You
- 24:42know, we have been reading Matthew 24, 1, 2,
- 24:453. And when Jesus told them, he said, each of
- 24:49these stones you see, all of them will be what?
- 24:51Will be thrown down. They say, you don't know
- 24:54what you're talking about. It took us 46 years
- 25:00to build this. And you tell us. In three days,
- 25:06let's pull it down. You must be kidding us here.
- 25:13Go to salamis. You have an idea of what they
- 25:15are saying. Those stones are not the bricks in
- 25:18your house that if you do, it will break. It
- 25:23will take something unusual made by man to bring
- 25:28those stones down. The scripture says, majestic
- 25:36buildings, impressive decorations. And Jesus
- 25:41said, all these things will do what? Will come
- 25:43down. Every time the believer speaks under the
- 25:48inspiration of the Holy Ghost, he is bringing
- 25:51the beauty in the life of others that is already
- 25:56in Christ Jesus. He's bringing them out. You
- 26:03see, what I just said now should inform you that
- 26:05you don't see anybody and begin to just say,
- 26:07your life will waste. Do you know that your life,
- 26:11the way you continue like this, with this your
- 26:14brain that is empty. How can somebody have head?
- 26:18You know there is brain inside. I say the brain
- 26:20is empty. When you see empty brains, put something
- 26:27inside. Do you know what I said? When you see
- 26:30empty brains, do what? When you see wayward lives,
- 26:33correct them. By the Spirit of God, I just heard
- 26:36this. Learn to bring order, not chaos. Learn
- 26:40to bring order, not chaos. With your words, bring
- 26:43order, not chaos. With your words, bring what?
- 26:46Order, not what? Not chaos. Write this now. In
- 26:58verse 3, in verse 4. In verse 5, in verse 12,
- 27:02in verse 17, in verse 26. We are going to see
- 27:05the words now. Verse 3, 1 Corinthians 14, verse
- 27:093. Verse 4, verse 5, verse 12, verse 17, verse
- 27:1826. Let me say it again. Verse 3, verse 4, verse
- 27:235, verse 12, verse 17, verse 26. All these places
- 27:29talks about the word edify, edifies, edification,
- 27:36edifying. And all of them are connected to prophecy.
- 27:45Edify, edifies, edifying, or what? Edification.
- 27:50Verse 3. But he that prophesies speaketh unto
- 27:52men to edification and exhortation and what?
- 27:55Verse 4. Verse 5. Verse 12. of the church verse
- 28:2317 for thou verily verily give us thanks well
- 28:26but the order is not edified 26 how is it then
- 28:30brethren when you come together every one of
- 28:32you had a psalm had a doctrine had a tongue had
- 28:35a revelation had an interpretation let all things
- 28:38be done unto what edifying so take the original
- 28:42word building and put all in these places building,
- 28:46building, building, building. You see, what Paul
- 28:49is emphasizing is that every time you gather
- 28:52in fellowship, let there be what? Building. Let
- 28:55there be edification. Brother, edify the other.
- 28:58Sister, when I stood there, one of the words
- 29:00that I got, he said, husband and wife don't marry
- 29:03because they should just marry. No, no, no. God
- 29:06first will bring you to edify one another. My
- 29:10responsibility as a husband is to what? due to
- 29:12my wife. Her responsibility is to what? Due to
- 29:15me. You have not borne me even straight. You
- 29:21have not borne me this way. You have not borne
- 29:23me. You have not borne me this way. You have
- 29:25not borne me. Me, oh. Me in this house, I will
- 29:27not cook again. Me in this house. Me in this

- 29:36Give. Give. Give. Say, I have been created by
- 29:40God. I have his image. I have his image. And
- 29:46I know the lifestyle of giving. Every resources
- 29:52God has put inside you is to be released. Hallelujah.
- 29:58To build others. And we've learned here, I'm
- 30:05going to, in the next two, three minutes, we're
- 30:07going to stop here for today. And we've learned
- 30:09here that the word, Comfort and exhortation.
- 30:13Edify is to build, right? And that word edification
- 30:17is a compound word for comfort and what? Exhortation.
- 30:21The word comfort is to provide help. Amen? The
- 30:26word comfort is to do what? To provide what?
- 30:30Help. Comfort is not pity. Do you hear what I
- 30:35said? Comfort is not what? Is not pity. The word
- 30:40comfort is to provide what? To provide what?
- 30:43Help. Hallelujah. And then the word exhortation.
- 30:49The word exhortation, it means to stand by someone.
- 30:54Praise God. To do what? To stand by someone.
- 30:59So which means that when prophecy is given, it
- 31:03brings direction, guidance, help, and encouragement.
- 31:10When prophecy is given, right? When gifts of
- 31:13prophecy is in operation, it brings direction,
- 31:17it brings guidance, it brings help, it brings
- 31:22encouragement. Let me say it again. When prophecy
- 31:28is given, it brings direction, it brings guidance,
- 31:33it brings help, and it brings encouragement.
- 31:37Purpose of what? Of the gifts of what? Prophecy.
- 31:51Hallelujah. Let's read this and then we stop.
- 31:541 Corinthians 14 verse 6 now. Now, brethren,
- 32:01if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what
- 32:06shall I what? Profite you. What he's saying is
- 32:10that how can I build you? Hallelujah. How can
- 32:13I benefit you? Except I shall speak to you either
- 32:17by what? Revelation or by knowledge or by prophesying
- 32:22or by doctrine. Hallelujah. Because all these
- 32:27words find expression through intelligible words
- 32:33that the mind can understand. Hallelujah. Amen?
- 32:39So when we come, by God's grace, on Wednesday,
- 32:41we're going to exhaust this purpose of the gifts
- 32:45of prophecy and then we're going to do how to
- 32:48judge what? Prophecy. Then we'll practicalize
- 32:52it. How to judge what? Prophecy. Then we'll do
- 32:56what? We'll practicalize it. Maybe, not in this
- 33:02church however, because we'll be taught. Amen?
- 33:05He said, my children, my children, don't be afraid.
- 33:12For I also am also afraid. But know that I am
- 33:18with you. If you are close to the person there,
- 33:25just hold the hands of the person and just keep
- 33:29him in the sight first and say, don't be praying,
- 33:31just be watching us. Because we have to start
- 33:39checking which source. Like that young man that
- 33:46they say, do you have a word? He came up here.
- 33:49I can't see him again in our church. He said
- 33:52to all the fine ladies, God says he's with you.
- 34:03Praise God. Say I have the gifts of prophecy.
- 34:07Say, I have the gifts of prophecy. Say, I have
- 34:11the gifts of prophecy. One of the words I got
- 34:14in the course of preparation, which we will talk
- 34:17about it on Wednesday, is how every one of us,
- 34:20we have to be mindful of our words. Hallelujah.
- 34:23We have to be what? We're going to read a couple
- 34:26of scriptures on Wednesday, and I believe the
- 34:28Holy Spirit will bring so much revelation at
- 34:30work in our hearts, and you will go about saying
- 34:33the right things by the Spirit of God. Can you
- 34:35just bless God, everybody? Can I just bless Scott?
- 34:40Say, Father, thank you for I have the ability
- 34:42to build. I have the ability to build. I have
