- 4:11my God will turn you into a sign and a
- 4:13wonder in the name of Jesus Christ.
- 4:23Speaker 2: So we'll be discussing for a few minutes.
- 4:25Speaker 4: Along your team, we're considering awakenings. And I was very
- 4:32touched when I saw the thing because I'm a student
- 4:36of revival. I have studied the moves of God, and
- 4:39I have seen what God is able to do in
- 4:42the life of an individual, in the life of a
- 4:45people in a territory, if and when we understand the
- 4:50principles that ignite and keep the move of God. And
- 4:55so I want to talk for a few minutes, and
- 4:58I'm hoping that this would be a great con contribution
- 5:00to someone's spiritual life.
- 5:02Speaker 2: In Jesus' name, we pray very quickly. What is an awakening?
- 5:08Speaker 4: You know, we talk a lot about the moves of God, revivals,
- 5:12you know, renewals and awakenings. I define awakenings as a
- 5:18moment of restored or heightened God consciousness. A moment of
- 5:26restored or heightened God consciousness, meaning that this is a
- 5:32moment where God is able to restore God consciousness or
- 5:36heighten God consciousness. It is a moment of passion for
- 5:46God with a renewed determination to love Him, to know him,
- 5:53to live for him.
- 5:54Speaker 2: I'm defining an awakening.
- 5:57Speaker 4: It is a moment that is characterized by passion for
- 6:00God with a renewed determination to know him, to love him,
- 6:07and to leave for him. Let's look at Second Chronicles
- 6:09fifteen from verse twelve. Second Chronicles fifteen from verse twelve.
- 6:18And they entered into a covenant to seek the Lord,
- 6:22God of their fathers, with all their heart and with
- 6:26all their soul, that whosoever would not seek the Lord
- 6:30God of Israel should be put to death, whether small
- 6:34or great. I'm showing you the character of an awakening,
- 6:37whether man or woman, Verse fifteen.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Fourteen.
- 6:41Speaker 4: Now and they swear onto the Lord with a loud voice,
- 6:45and with shouting, and with trumpets and with cornets verse fifteen.
- 6:50And all Juda rejoiced at the oath, for they had
- 6:54sworn with all their heart and short him with their
- 6:58whole desire, the Bible says, and he was found of them,
- 7:03and the Lord gave them rest round about.
- 7:09Speaker 2: Praise the name of the Lord.
- 7:11Speaker 4: Second Scripture very quickly, Efficians, chapter five. So Paul is
- 7:16teaching the church in Ephisos, and then he comes to
- 7:19a very important subject from verse fourteen, Efficient chapter five
- 7:24and verse fourteen. He now says, wherefore he saith a
- 7:29wake dow that sleepest and arise from the dead. Then
- 7:35he says, and Christ shall.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Give the light.
- 7:39Speaker 4: So he's talking to a people who is challenging them
- 7:43towards their spiritual vibrancy, and he uses an expression of sleep.
- 7:48Speaker 2: And I want us to talk a bit about that.
- 7:50Speaker 4: He says, Awake, now that sleepst you who are asleep,
- 7:55the Bible.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Says, and rise from the dead, and Christ will give
- 7:59you life.
- 8:01Speaker 4: In Matthew chapter thirteen, when you read from verse twenty
- 8:04four twenty five, Jesus was given a parable as his
- 8:08custom was. He taught in parables, and the Bible says,
- 8:11are not that parable.
- 8:13Speaker 2: Put he forth onto.
- 8:14Speaker 4: Them, saying, the kingdom of Heaven is likened onto a
- 8:18man which sowed good seed in his field.
- 8:22Speaker 2: Then he says, but while men slept, so that was
- 8:26the issue.
- 8:28Speaker 4: While men slept, someone took advantage of that state of sleep,
- 8:33took advantage of that state of slumber.
- 8:36Speaker 2: And also so terars among the wait and went his way.
- 8:40And you know the remaining part of the story.
- 8:43Speaker 4: Sleep in the Bible generally has been used both negatively
- 8:48and positively. For instance, when the Bible talks about God
- 8:53giving his beloved sleep, that is in a positive sense,
- 8:56but generally speaking, when we talk about sleep, and I'm
- 8:59using that to connect with the subject of awakening. So
- 9:02the Bible says, if a man is not awakened spiritually,
- 9:06the opposite of that is that he's in a state
- 9:08of sleep away together. And there's been three expressions of
- 9:13sleep according to scripture.
- 9:14Speaker 2: I'll just run it quickly. Number one.
- 9:17Speaker 4: When the Bible talks about sleep, it is the natural
- 9:21expression of it, as we know, rest from exhaustion, rest
- 9:26from tiredness after a day's work, and so on and
- 9:30so forth. You find that, for instance, in Some for
- 9:34and verse eight, Some for and verse eight, an example
- 9:38of sleep as we know. Some chapter four and verse eight,
- 9:42it says, I will both lay me down in peace
- 9:45and sleep for down Lord only makes me to dwell
- 9:49in safety. So this definition of sleep talks about rest,
- 9:53the rest that brings refreshing.
- 9:55Speaker 2: Number two, the Bible likens the transition of.
- 9:59Speaker 4: A believer, what we call the death of a believer
- 10:02as sleeping praise the name of the Lord Amen. In
- 10:08Some thirteen and verse three, Some thirteen.
- 10:11Speaker 2: And these three.
- 10:12Speaker 4: I'm just running through this preliminaries thirteen and these three,
- 10:15it says, consider and hear me, Oh Lord, my God,
- 10:19it says, lighten my eyes lest I sleep the sleep
- 10:24of death. So sleep can be likened death can be
- 10:29likened to sleep, particularly for believers who are in Christ.
- 10:33Paul took our time in Firse Thessalonians from verse four
- 10:38to comfort believers by giving them understanding of what happens
- 10:42when believers sleep and what will happen.
- 10:44Speaker 2: At the resurrection.
- 10:46Speaker 4: The third expression of sleep, and that's our concern for
- 10:49tonight is.
- 10:50Speaker 2: A state of spiritual decline.
- 10:54Speaker 4: State of spiritual decline, as we find in Matthew thirteen
- 10:57twenty five and efficients Fife and verse fourteen. So sleep
- 11:02there is not just talking about the rest that brings
- 11:04refreshing nor is it talking about that cessation of life
- 11:08as far as life on earth is concerned. That an
- 11:11individual from a spiritual standpoint can be in a state
- 11:16of sleep.
- 11:18Speaker 2: And if you study sleep.
- 11:20Speaker 4: I'm not a medical doctor, but then I not this
- 11:23much about sleep that they are two characteristic futures that
- 11:28really show that a person is asleep. Number One, you
- 11:31lose consciousness of your immediate environment. Am I right on that?
- 11:36Now your position doesn't really matter. There are people who
- 11:40can sleep standing, I mean literally.
- 11:42Speaker 2: Am I right? On that you would think they're looking
- 11:45at you.
- 11:45Speaker 4: There are those who even sleep with their eyes open,
- 11:48but they are asleep, and while you are wasting your
- 11:50time talking to them, they're not there at all. Some
- 11:54can just lean gently and you think they're thinking, but
- 11:56they're gone. So the position doesn't really matter. But one
- 12:01thing that characterizes sleep is that you lose consciousness of
- 12:05your immediate environment.
- 12:07Speaker 2: Number two, you lose sensitivity.
- 12:11Speaker 4: It will take an extra effort to wake someone or
- 12:15pass a message across to someone who is asleep.
- 12:18Speaker 2: Am I right on that? Now you're all awake.
- 12:21Speaker 4: If I say, for instance, motion my hand to rise,
- 12:24you see, with minimal effort you understand what I'm saying.
- 12:28Speaker 2: But if you are sleep, I may have to go
- 12:30down and tap you.
- 12:31Speaker 4: And my goodness, there are people who you have to
- 12:33tap and tap and call their names and sing songs
- 12:36and alarm and whatever before they now stretch.
- 12:39Speaker 2: I went together now.
- 12:40Speaker 4: So these things are very important because when the Bible
- 12:43says awake now that sleepest, that already defines a spiritual
- 12:48condition that, by reason of this state called sleep, this
- 12:54man is not even conscious of the spiritual things that
- 12:57are happening around him, nor is he sensity. There are
- 13:00things that can come from the spirit, by the spirit
- 13:04for your destiny, but because you are in a state
- 13:08of sleep, you are not able to perceive. Are we
- 13:12together now pray the name of the Lord? Jacob said,
- 13:15the Lord was in this place, and I knew not,
- 13:18And as a result, he would spend over twenty years
- 13:21in the house of Laban.
- 13:23Speaker 2: By the time the Lord.
- 13:24Speaker 4: Would come back to him in Genesis thirty two, he
- 13:27was prepared. He dismissed every other thing and was sensitive.
- 13:31He held on to him until his name changed from
- 13:34Jacob to Israel. Are we learning now now? Very quickly,
- 13:39very quickly, let's address this issue of spiritual decline. I
- 13:45am very passionate about seeing people vibrant spiritually because I
- 13:51know that when your spiritual life and your spiritual vibranc.
- 13:55Speaker 2: He fails, it's a matter of time. Every other aspect of.
- 14:00Speaker 4: Your life will begin to reflect the bankruptcy of fire
- 14:04and the spirit. Your finances, your health. Are we together
- 14:08prays the Name of the Lord. Yeah, A man's spiritual
- 14:12life controls the health of every other thing around him,
- 14:17And for a while you will think your spiritual life
- 14:20is not connected to finances, Not connected to health, not
- 14:24connected to whatever it is until Satan successfully attach your
- 14:28spiritual life and then you find out that every other
- 14:32aspect of your life begins to decline.
- 14:35Speaker 2: Are we learning now? I want to give us for this.
- 14:38Speaker 4: Discussion very quickly, and this is something that God has
- 14:42taught me. I will show you five signs of a
- 14:46life that is declining spiritually. And as you listen, I
- 14:49want you to use this and examine yourself. And if
- 14:52you find out that any of these five signs is
- 14:55at work in your life or applicable to you, then
- 14:58it's a call for you tonight to pray when we're praying,
- 15:01to receive when we're receiving, to contend in the spirit
- 15:05until your fire is reignited. Who is learning so far?
- 15:08I'm going to give you five signs of spiritual decline.
- 15:12You can use this to test any life, doesn't matter
- 15:15if you're a preacher, doesn't matter, if you are walking
- 15:18in the choir, wants any of these five things, some
- 15:22or all of them are manifesting in your life, then
- 15:26it's a call for serious attention.
- 15:29Speaker 2: Number one, very quickly.
- 15:31Speaker 4: The first sign of spiritual decline is that there is
- 15:34a significant deviation from your love for God and spiritual
- 15:40things is significant deviation from your love for God and
- 15:46spiritual things. Revelations Chapter two. When you read from verse
- 15:50one to four, Revelations Chapter two, from verse one to four,
- 15:55onto the Angel of the Church in Ephesus right these things,
- 15:59said he that holded the seven stars in his right hand,
- 16:03who walked in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks.
- 16:09Verse two, it says, I know your works and your
- 16:11label your patience, that thou cannot bear them which are evil,
- 16:19And thou hast tried them with say they are apostles
- 16:23and are not, and thou hast found them liars. Verse
- 16:25three it says, and now has borne and has patients
- 16:30for my namesake.
- 16:31Speaker 2: You have labeled, you have not fainted.
- 16:34Speaker 4: But verse four it says, nevertheless, I have somewhat against
- 16:39it because thou hast left your first love.
- 16:43Speaker 2: That was the challenge over the church.
- 16:45Speaker 4: In episodes, they were commended for the wonderful things they
- 16:49had done, but it made that emphasis that something remember
- 16:53is this efficient church that you was telling them awake,
- 16:57thou that sleepest. Now Revelation God is speaking to them
- 17:01again and saying, we're still dealing with this problem of
- 17:04your first love. Someone learning now is significant deviation from
- 17:11your love for God. Second Timote, Chapter three one to four.
- 17:15Secondimoti three one to four. Whatever affects your love for
- 17:20God is already on its way to destroy your spiritual life.
- 17:24This know also that in the last days, Perilla's time
- 17:28shall come Verse two. For men shall be lovers of
- 17:32their own selves, covet us, boster us, proud, blasphemous, disobedient
- 17:38to parents.
- 17:39Speaker 2: I'm thankful on holy Verse three, without.
- 17:43Speaker 4: Natural reflection, truth breakers, false accused us, incontinentious, despisers of
- 17:49those things that are good.
- 17:50Speaker 2: Verse four.
- 17:51Speaker 4: Traitors, heady, high minded lovers of pleasure. There you find
- 17:56it more than lovers of God.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 18:02Speaker 4: It matters that God becomes your highest priority.
- 18:06Speaker 2: Ladies and gentlemen.
- 18:07Speaker 4: Then the character of God in dealing with men is
- 18:11that anything that you exhaust above him is considered your
- 18:16God and is considered an idol.
- 18:18Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 18:19Speaker 4: It's not enough to say God is in your life.
- 18:21His position matters. He can be in your life as
- 18:24number thirty five, number thirty six, He's there.
- 18:29Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 18:30Speaker 4: He desires to be the highest priority, and for many believers,
- 18:35especially for those who want to be greatly used by God.
- 18:38Speaker 2: They do not know why they seem to not see
- 18:42the hand of God as they should.
- 18:46Speaker 4: The might of God upon the life of a man
- 18:48is connected to the depth of your passion, your love
- 18:53for God, and your love for the things of God.
- 18:55Show me a man who is genuinely in love with
- 18:58Jesus ministry, genuinely in love with Jesus beyond church, genuinely
- 19:05in love with Jesus beyond pretense. I show you a
- 19:08man who cannot go down. I show you a man
- 19:11who has found his way to a life of excellence,
- 19:14regardless what the situations are. The key is to love him,
- 19:19not to use him. The key is to love him,
- 19:22not to use him. You can use God to get things.
- 19:26You can use God to get fame. You can use
- 19:30God because you need power from him. But those who
- 19:34will last doors, who will try a man who love
- 19:37him beyond money, love him beyond titles, love him beyond ministry.
- 19:42Are we together now? Someone shout, I love Jesus, say
- 19:46it like humanit I love Jesus. The Bible says, no
- 19:54I have seen, no ear has heard, neither has it
- 19:57come into the heart of any man. God has installed
- 20:01not just for them who come to charge, for them
- 20:05that love him. This is a love affair, and I'm
- 20:08praying for someone. I don't know what has come to
- 20:11steal your love. It may be the vicissitus of life,
- 20:15maybe the desire to make it, the desire for a job,
- 20:18for marriage, for children. As important as it is, those
- 20:22things can creep into your life and still his place
- 20:25in your life. That he becomes your highest priority. Nothing
- 20:33and no one sustains the power to take.
- 20:36Speaker 2: His place in your life.
- 20:40Speaker 4: I'd rather give up ministry a thousand times than let
- 20:44anything take his place.
- 20:45Speaker 2: You believe me on that, give.
- 20:47Speaker 4: Up preaching it thousand times for someone you need to
- 20:55fall in love with him again again again. I'm deep
- 21:02in love with you, Ah, faed, I'm deep in love
- 21:11with you, Loo.
- 21:14Speaker 2: That's a prayer for someone.
- 21:16Speaker 4: Ha'mndy in love with you, pracious geesus, ha'mnde in love
- 21:26with you, Loa. There is a rem where only lovers dwell. Ah.
- 21:35Speaker 2: There is a rem that is beyond just charge. There
- 21:39is a rem.
- 21:40Speaker 4: Beyond the realm of a prayer warriors, a rem of
- 21:43a lover. God will open up his heart to you
- 21:47and show you things. God will take the prayer request
- 21:50of a man and give you us a gift because
- 21:53it's a love affair. I tell you this, I tell
- 21:56you this.
- 21:57Speaker 2: I tell you this.
- 22:00Speaker 4: You will get blessings in your life you cannot account for.
- 22:04You can't tell how they arrived. It was a gift
- 22:06of love. You can receive one million err as salary,
- 22:12but I can come to someone I love and give
- 22:15that person one million. Both of you are not holding
- 22:18the same thing. No, no, don't let the amount receive you.
- 22:22One million as salary and one million as a gift
- 22:26is not the same. One may be holding one million
- 22:29as a testament of pain, anger, compromise. Another is holding
- 22:34it as a reward. Another is holding it as an
- 22:40expression of love for someone. I'm telling you, as you
- 22:44fall in love with the Lord afresh, you will see
- 22:47there are graces, there are dimensions.
- 22:50Speaker 2: See let me tell you this. The thing about love
- 22:53is that.
- 22:55Speaker 4: And permit me for a minute. Let me use marriage
- 23:00gets married to his wife. Eventually, because of the health
- 23:06of intimacy, the woman becomes pregnant. Her pregnancy is a message.
- 23:12It's a product of intimacy. If you tell me you
- 23:16are in love and you've been in love for a
- 23:18while and you are the bride. Show me what you've
- 23:21carried as proof of that intimacy. Show me the vision,
- 23:26Show me the destinies.
- 23:28Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 23:30Speaker 4: The child that is born from the man and the
- 23:33woman has what belongs to the man and has what
- 23:36belongs to the woman.
- 23:37Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 23:38Speaker 4: There are things that should have come out from you
- 23:41as proved that you have been with him genuinely.
- 23:44Speaker 2: I pray for you. I don't know what has tolen
- 23:47your passion.
- 23:48Speaker 4: I came here in the name of Jesus, standing in
- 23:50faith with your pastor. Oh, let a fresh passion for Jesus.
- 23:55Let it rest upon you, Let him rest upon you.
- 23:59Let it rests upon you that He becomes your everything.
- 24:04In the name of Jesus, please be seated. The second
- 24:10sign very quickly of a spiritual decline. Are you ready?
- 24:17Speaker 2: Progressive growth of self?
- 24:21Speaker 4: The progressive growth of self to the degree to itself
- 24:26is growing in you is a sign that you're dying spiritually.
- 24:30Self or self centeredness as.
- 24:32Speaker 2: You call it. Let me tell you this.
- 24:35Speaker 4: One of the implications of having a healthy relationship with
- 24:39Jesus is that self dies. It doesn't matter how long
- 24:44it's been. If it's the God of the Bible, you
- 24:47encounter self dies, you begin to leave beyond yourself. It's
- 24:52not all about what I want. Here's the language of
- 24:56spiritual man. Nevertheless, not my wehel yours be done. I
- 25:03say that you claim to have an encounter with God,
- 25:06but self is still alive and self is growing. No,
- 25:13the progressive growth of self is a major indication of.
- 25:18Speaker 2: A spiritual decline. Are giving them a three? Quickly?
- 25:22Speaker 4: What's the third sign of a spiritual decline? Consistent ever
- 25:28increasing compromise of your values and godless standards. Consistent ever
- 25:36increasing compromise of your values and your godly standards. When
- 25:44there is a consistent, ever increasing compromise of your values
- 25:50and your godless standards and you're not convicted afterwards, it's.
- 25:54Speaker 2: A sign that you need help quickly. Who is learning now?
- 25:59It is true? It is true. Number four.
- 26:06Speaker 4: A decline in your spiritual convictions. A decline in your
- 26:12spiritual convictions meaning you are no longer sure of what
- 26:17you once believed.
- 26:18Speaker 2: First MOOTI four, verse one. A sign of a spiritual decline.
- 26:23Speaker 4: In addition to a compromise of your values and your standards.
- 26:27Speaker 2: You get to a point where you are not even
- 26:29shore what you believe. Again, the Bible.
- 26:31Speaker 4: Says, now the spirit speak it expressly that in the
- 26:35latter time some shall depart from the faith and shall
- 26:39give heat to seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.
- 26:44Speaker 2: They shall depart from the state the faith.
- 26:49Speaker 4: So you find out that today people believe in prayer,
- 26:52for instance, And by next week have you seen people
- 26:56fight the things they once believed?
- 26:58Speaker 2: Today their love?
- 27:00Speaker 4: By tomorrow day they don't only hate prayer, they hate
- 27:03everyone who prays. Today they love the word of God.
- 27:07By tomorrow they said, leave that thing. We did it before,
- 27:10we did it. It is confession we did it.
- 27:13Speaker 2: Once. You find people speak like that.
- 27:15Speaker 4: They may not be wrong, but it's a sign of
- 27:18spiritual decline. Like you go to a doctor and they
- 27:22measure your vitals, and they can tell you something is wrong.
- 27:26Speaker 2: Even if you feel healthy, they tell you you are dying.
- 27:29Something is wrong. Are we together?
- 27:32Speaker 4: When spiritual things look like nonsense to you, it's a
- 27:36sign that you are going down spiritually. The confession of
- 27:40the world, fasting, prayer, and so on and so forth.
- 27:43Let me give you number five very quickly, apologies that
- 27:47I'm having to just rush.
- 27:52Speaker 2: Number five.
- 27:54Speaker 4: The fit sign of spiritual decline is a decline in
- 27:59your passion for the House of God. Your decline, decline
- 28:05in your passion for the House of God, allelujah. Some
- 28:12one twenty two, verse one, Some one hundred and twenty
- 28:18twe verse one. I was glad when they said, unto me,
- 28:22let us go, let us go. By the time you
- 28:29stop being glad when they tell you, let us go
- 28:31to the House of the Lord, it's a sign of
- 28:33an attack, a real attack on your life.
- 28:36Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 28:37Speaker 4: There are things that only happen when you are in
- 28:41the assembly of God's people. No matter how healthy you
- 28:45are spiritually in isolation, there is a limits to which
- 28:49you can rise.
- 28:50Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 28:51Speaker 4: The Bible says in some one touty three, How good
- 28:54and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity?
- 28:58He said, it is like the oil that comes from
- 29:00the head of aaron. You know, the priest to his garment,
- 29:05his cat. The Bible says, for there the Lord have
- 29:08commanded the blessing even life forevermore passion for the House
- 29:15of God. There are people who don't care they come
- 29:19to church, or they don't. It doesn't really affect them.
- 29:22Is a sign of a spiritual decline? Is someone learning now?
- 29:27Speaker 2: Now?
- 29:28Speaker 4: The theme awakening is beyond the theme of a conference.
- 29:32Speaker 3: It is a call.
- 29:33Speaker 2: And here's where I want to dwell a bit.
- 29:35Speaker 4: As I pray, just preparing on what I would share tonight,
- 29:39the Lord quickening it in my heart to challenge us.
- 29:42Speaker 2: To be awakened in four areas.
- 29:45Speaker 4: There are four major areas, and I believe this is
- 29:48a prophetic instruction for us, those who are here and
- 29:51to the many who are connected online. Number one, the
- 29:55first area of awakening that we need to pay attention
- 29:59to in this season and in this prophetic season. Really,
- 30:04in light of what God is doing, are we together?
- 30:08The first area of awakening is greater passion for Jesus.
- 30:14Speaker 2: Greater passion.
- 30:15Speaker 4: I spoke about that earlier on. You must be awakened
- 30:19to a greater passion for Jesus. A deeper consecration will
- 30:25lead to greater passion for Jesus. Now, when we talk
- 30:28about the word consecration, there are two expressions.
- 30:33Speaker 2: With number one.
- 30:34Speaker 4: The first dimension of consecration has to do with obtaining grace.
- 30:39To abstain from obtaining grace to abstain from the walks
- 30:45of the flesh and sinful losts. But the second dimension
- 30:50of consecration is devotion onto, so you can obtain grace
- 30:55to abstain from. But if you are not devoted onto,
- 30:59you are still not con created, unfortunately, are the larger
- 31:04part of our understanding of consecration just has to do
- 31:07with abstinence, and that's.
- 31:09Speaker 2: Wonderful, But we stop there.
- 31:11Speaker 4: If it stops that abstinence, then your definition is not wholesome.
- 31:15It must also go into devotion, total devotion. The Lord
- 31:21is calling us as a body of believers to rise
- 31:26and to be awakened.
- 31:27Speaker 2: To greater passion for Jesus.
- 31:30Speaker 4: Greater passion for Jesus, loving Him, loving his house, loving
- 31:36his program, beyond our personal agenda, beyond the things that
- 31:41we want for ourselves, that our eyes on Him not
- 31:45just to receive, but to understand that we are also
- 31:48partakers of that heavenly calling. We love him enough to
- 31:52know him, will love him enough to serve his purposes.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Who is learning tonight? Number two.
- 32:02Speaker 4: The second area of awakening, as a Lord put in
- 32:05my heart to bring to the body of Christ and
- 32:08to bring to the family that I here represented a
- 32:12higher level of prayer, to be awakened to a higher
- 32:16level of prayer and fellowship. And now this is a
- 32:21praying church. I like to talk to people who pray.
- 32:25It's a praying church, and I'm happy that this is
- 32:29a praying church. Ladies and gentlemen, The move of God
- 32:32will be stifled when God does not find a people
- 32:36who understand.
- 32:37Speaker 2: The mysteries of the altar.
- 32:38Speaker 4: Your personal efficiency as a person will fail until you
- 32:43understand the mysteries of the altar. Look eighteen and verse one.
- 32:47He spake a parable to the end that men ought
- 32:50always to pray. Are we together now? Mark eleven twenty four. Verily, verily,
- 32:55I say onto you what things soever ye desire. It says,
- 32:58when ye pray, believe that thou receivest them, and thou
- 33:02shalt have them first. As Salonians five seventeen, he says
- 33:06to pray without season, to pray without season at chapter
- 33:12six and verse four.
- 33:13Speaker 2: The early church, that was the pattern.
- 33:15Speaker 4: But we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to
- 33:20the ministry of the world.
- 33:21Speaker 2: In Acts chapter two and verse forty two.
- 33:23Speaker 4: This was an Apostolic model that was left with the church,
- 33:27and they continued steadfastly in the apostles, doctrine, and in fellowship,
- 33:32in breaking.
- 33:33Speaker 2: Of prayer, and in prayer shout, I will pray.
- 33:37Speaker 4: The devil did not hear you say I will pray
- 33:40like you are serious, say I will pray.
- 33:46Speaker 2: Allelujah.
- 33:48Speaker 4: The man who prays has capacity to discern the doings
- 33:52of God, to discern the speakings of God. Are we
- 33:55together now? The Bible tells us that no man. Now,
- 34:00there are many I shouldn't. I shouldn't be teaching.
- 34:02Speaker 2: You're not.
- 34:03Speaker 4: You're not ignorant at all. Your pastor has invested so
- 34:06much teaching you on prayer. But I'll tell you a
- 34:09few things about prayer. One of the greatest demonstrations of
- 34:13pride in a believer's life is prayerlessness.
- 34:17Speaker 2: Prayerlessness is pride.
- 34:19Speaker 4: It's a declaration of your independence out of the assistance
- 34:24of Heaven. Allelujah. And I wish I had the time
- 34:31to tell you why the Bible insists that we pray.
- 34:34Speaker 2: But among them, you need to understand that God gave
- 34:38man a will.
- 34:39Speaker 4: This will God gave man makes his scripturally incorrect. For
- 34:44God to step into a man's life and make any
- 34:48adjustments without him calling the fact that He gave man
- 34:52a will. Are we together praise the name of the Lord. Behold,
- 34:58I stand at the door of your heart and knock.
- 35:01Even though I created, I will keep knocking until you
- 35:04use your will to open that door. The will of
- 35:07mine is powerful. Every time you pray, you are verbalizing
- 35:11your dependence.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Every time you pray.
- 35:14Speaker 4: On legal basis, you are calling that Heaven.
- 35:16Speaker 2: Comes to assist you. This is how it works.
- 35:21Speaker 4: In my study on prayer, I found at least for
- 35:26assignments of prayer in the life of the believer. Assignment
- 35:30number one of prayer is for your growth and transformation.
- 35:34This is the highest and the richest assignment of prayer.
- 35:37More than receiving things. You pray yourself into a more
- 35:42powerful version. You pray yourself into a more sensitive version.
- 35:47You pray yourself. I liken it to molt in. You
- 35:50know how reptiles mold, that a snake can mold, and
- 35:54then remove it for myself and have a new, bigger
- 35:58fresher self. That's what prayer. A weak believer can mold
- 36:02out of fear, you can mold out of flesh, You
- 36:05can mold out of limitation, until you become a man
- 36:09or a woman of stature and power. Look nine twenty nine.
- 36:14The Bible says, and as you pray, the fashion of
- 36:17his countenance was His garment became white and glistering. The
- 36:23fashion of his countenance was altered.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Number two.
- 36:29Speaker 4: The second assignment of prayer is as a channel or
- 36:32a platform for obtaining requests and making petitions.
- 36:39Speaker 2: Mark eleven, twenty four.
- 36:40Speaker 4: The Bible says, whatsoever thinks ye desire when ye pray,
- 36:46not if ye pray, when ye pray using the platform
- 36:50of prayer, believe that you receive it, and then you
- 36:54will have it. The third assignment of prayer is for
- 36:59spirit legislation, that in the place of prayer, you create
- 37:03possibilities in your life. You change narratives, you redefined possibilities.
- 37:09Speaker 2: Are we together now?
- 37:10Speaker 4: Prayer is like a man holding an eraser and a
- 37:13bira at the same time, I mean an eraser and
- 37:15a pen. You find what is not consistent with the
- 37:19Word of God in the place of prayer, you sustain
- 37:22the power to clean it and say, not so, I
- 37:25do not agree this verdict is inconsistent with the Word.
- 37:29Speaker 2: And you begin to rewrite things.
- 37:32Speaker 4: There is nothing like too late for a man of prayer,
- 37:35no no sah no sah Allelujah, praise the name of
- 37:43the Lord. Finally, the fourth assignment, at least for prayer
- 37:49is as a tool for spiritual warfare and intercession. You
- 37:53need to understand the dynamics of warfare. The Bible is
- 37:56very clear to the fact that the believer of sustaining
- 37:59telligence to be able to appropriate that which is finished
- 38:03in Christ over your atmosphere as touching demon spirits and
- 38:08their determination to destroy your destiny. It says, the whole
- 38:12world lies in wickedness. When you learn how to pray,
- 38:15and you know how to pray with intelligence, are we together?
- 38:19It says, I desire to come to you, even I
- 38:22pall once and again, but Satan hindered us. Favor desire
- 38:27to come to you. Blessings desire to come to you,
- 38:30but Satan hindered us. Philippians one. I think verse nineteen,
- 38:38it says, and I know that this shall turn to
- 38:40my salvation through your prayer and the supply of the
- 38:44spirit of Christ Jesus. I know. I am confident that
- 38:48in the place of prayer it will turn to my salvation.
- 38:52Someone again shout, I will pray. So when we are
- 38:56talking about an awakening in addition to your passion for Jesus.
- 39:01It must be an awakening onto prayer, not as a
- 39:05religious activity. No prayer that produces power, Prayer that produces results.
- 39:12The Bible says, the pavent effectual prayer of the righteous.
- 39:18Speaker 2: I've failed much. I've failed much.
- 39:21Speaker 4: Amplified sayss produces tremendous power, that is dynamic and it's working.
- 39:32Show me a man who prays, Show me a man
- 39:34who understands the mysteries of the altar. Prayer is an equalizer.
- 39:39It balances every disadvantage you have in life. It doesn't
- 39:43matter what the disadvantage is. Give yourself to prayer and
- 39:47watch the balance scale up. It doesn't matter whether I
- 39:50say poor background, whether it's lack of education, whether it's
- 39:54lack of an advantage. Prayer becomes for you an equilizer.
- 39:58If you submit.
- 39:59Speaker 2: Yourself to prayer, I tell you it's impossible to.
- 40:02Speaker 4: Remain in an entity. Again, shout, I will pray. By
- 40:07this declaration. I pray for someone that the fire upon
- 40:11your altar, for whatever reason that is found its way down.
- 40:16I decree and declare, let fresh fire rest upon your prayer.
- 40:20Alter fresh fire upon your prayer. Alter fresh fire upon
- 40:27your prayer, altar, please received it. Can I tell you
- 40:32the truth? There is a dimension of faith that only
- 40:37prayer can receive for you. When you meet people who
- 40:42are men and women of prayer, their capacity to believe
- 40:46God becomes expanded.
- 40:49Speaker 2: They can receive things.
- 40:50Speaker 4: When you hear their plans and goals, you will be
- 40:53afraid they are able to afford to receive that ambitious
- 40:57blueprint because prayer has a under their capacity. The Bible says,
- 41:02building yourselves on your most holy faith.
- 41:07Speaker 2: You see.
- 41:08Speaker 4: One way you know it is God talking to you
- 41:10is because he will never tell you what you can do.
- 41:14Speaker 2: It will tell you what He can do to you.
- 41:18If God gives you a plan and a.
- 41:19Speaker 4: Blueprint and it's already possible, you most likely had a
- 41:23familiar spirit. Because in obeying God, the discipline that you
- 41:30go through is more important.
- 41:32Speaker 2: To God than the result.
- 41:35Speaker 4: He will give you instructions that will stretch your faith,
- 41:38stretch your believing that stretching is really where the blessing is.
- 41:45Speaker 2: Someone learning I pray for you, obtain grace to pray. Listen.
- 41:55Speaker 4: Your prayer life will not produce results until it is systematized.
- 42:02If prayer is not systematized, it cannot produce results. In
- 42:07the Bible, they called it the hour of prayer. And
- 42:10that's why I salute your pastor and those who are
- 42:13connected to this vision, because you have a system that
- 42:17has helped to produce consistency.
- 42:19Speaker 2: Praying only when you are aware of danger. Is praying
- 42:22too late? Praying too late?
- 42:28Speaker 4: If someone learning, you must discipline yourself and create sessions
- 42:35of prayer. Let it be a healthy ritual, a ritual
- 42:39that is bound by a covenant. There's no gift of prayer.
- 42:43It requires discipline. You are ngraaced to pray. But prayer
- 42:49is not convenient. It is the awareness of what it
- 42:52can do that gives you the staying power. Are here, yeah,
- 43:03way we worship hale here ailu? Yeah?

- 44:04I want to transfer something to someone's spirit. I want
- 44:07to transfer something and energizing of power of grace. I
- 44:12stretch my hands. I pray for you. Let power from
- 44:16heaven rest on you. Rest on you, rest on your life,
- 44:21rest on your destiny. In the name of Jesus, that
- 44:26a thousand cubis be measured. I push you by prophecy,

- 46:32you as a business man. Then throw you like that riever,
- 46:37begin to change things around you. Allelujah, Please be seated.
- 46:48Let me find somewhere to pray. The Lord is asking
- 47:01me to speak to someone, and I want you to listen.
- 47:06Do you believe in the graceful speed?
- 47:11Speaker 2: You believe it? In the name of Jesus, I decree
- 47:38this for someone.

- 52:54I know, oh, I know he does heal.
- 52:57Speaker 2: It does heal.
- 53:00Speaker 4: I'm sensing in my spirit that it's not only that
- 53:04God is healing, but from the many who are got here,
- 53:08I sense that an anointing. Some of you are prayed,
- 53:13some of you are fasted, desired sincerely the healing power
- 53:18of Jesus. Maybe not everybody, but I'm standing in faith
- 53:22with your Man of God, and I'm praying for you

- 54:41Speaker 2: My time is on. I have to finish. I have
- 54:46to finish.
- 54:49Speaker 4: I have to finish. There is a gentleman and a lady,
- 54:53two of them. They will shout loud under the anointing.
- 54:56Please bring them for me. I want to a gentleman
- 54:59and a lady. The power of God is coming mighty
- 55:02on them. A gentleman and a lady that will shout
- 55:05loud to the hearing of everybody. I want to speak
- 55:08to them. If you can find them, let me just
- 55:13speak to them quickly. God does these things so very quickly.
- 55:18Let's take number three. I have to work with time.
- 55:23Please me see that if you can living by faith.
- 55:26First John, chapter five and verse four. It says, whatsoever
- 55:30is born of God over come at the world. It says,
- 55:36and this is the victory that overcome at the world.
- 55:40Help him in the name of Jesus. I say, even
- 55:43your faith, the victory that overcomes the world. Even your
- 55:48faith and praying for someone. Let the spirit of faith
- 55:51come on you. Let the spirit of faith to do
- 55:55impossible things in the name of Jesus. In the name
- 56:00of Jesus, let the spirit of faith rest upon you,
- 56:04Rest upon your business, rest upon you.
- 56:08Speaker 2: In the name of Jesus Christ by faith. Listen, just
- 56:23let me your attention. Bring her.
- 56:28Speaker 4: That's the second lady. Please don't be distructed.
- 56:31Speaker 2: Sids six.

- 56:52of your spirits. Now the heart be hits of heaven.
- 56:57Let us you feel the way love you other feel
- 57:06the way, love your spiririt now the heartbeat of Heaven.
- 57:12Speaker 2: Let us you so lea way, learry way.
- 57:25Speaker 4: Oh hell lay Allelujah, allelujah. That's the reason why adds
- 57:51that two of them would come. The Lord says, I
- 57:54should speak to them. Remember you not the former things,
- 57:58nor consider the things of all in this season for
- 58:01you and for your families, God is doing a new thing.
- 58:06What it says to one, he says to all, My
- 58:08God is doing a new thing, doing a new thing.
- 58:12I stand in faith, with the grace of God upon
- 58:16your pastob and I declare new things, new dimensions, new things,
- 58:22new dimensions, new things, new dimensions, new things. For someone
- 58:28means a new job. It means a new hole. It
- 58:33means new possibilities. Receive it in the name of Jesus.
- 58:41Please be seated, Please be seated. The third awakening is
- 58:47an awakening to know how to live by faith. How
- 58:51bes does family hear me? That you are here today
- 58:55by the spirit of God is a testament of the
- 59:00fact that your Man of God has demonstrated the power
- 59:04of faith. Can I tell you this, ladies and gentlemen,
- 59:08Faith always walks Bible faith, Bible faith, The time will
- 59:17fail me to talk of Gideon and Jafta and barakh
- 59:21Man who through faith some two kingdoms. Roth righteousness shut
- 59:27the mouths of lions. Faith can truly move mountains. I
- 59:33tell you what it means to be awakened onto faith,
- 59:38that you move past the rem of acting on the
- 59:40world of God, to live in by.
- 59:43Speaker 2: The Word of God.
- 59:45Speaker 4: Acting upon the Word of God is like someone who
- 59:48is sick but not interested in his health. You can
- 59:52receive drugs to just be fine for that moment, But
- 59:55the person who lives by the Word is the one
- 59:58who takes all the health measure to make sure you
- 1:00:01don't even fall sick in the first place. Most believers
- 1:00:05are only conscious of acting on the world. But the
- 1:00:09Bible talks beyond acting the word Matthew four four. It says,
- 1:00:14man shall leave you. See that now you must know
- 1:00:19that it takes beyond bread. Bread means that which is
- 1:00:22of man made origin.
- 1:00:26Speaker 2: Man shall not.
- 1:00:28Speaker 4: Live by bread alone, but by every word. To live
- 1:00:32by faith means to submit to the supremacy of the
- 1:00:36Word of God. God is not a man that he
- 1:00:38should lie you believe me, ladies and gentlemen, Not the
- 1:00:42son of Man that he should repent.
- 1:00:44Speaker 2: If it tells you you are the head, you believe him.
- 1:00:47Believe him.
- 1:00:48Speaker 4: If it tells you you are above only don't mind
- 1:00:52social media.
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: You believe him.
- 1:00:54Speaker 4: If it tells you you are above and not beneath,
- 1:00:57you believe it. If it tells you listen, there is
- 1:01:00a gentleman. The Bible says, by you, I can run
- 1:01:04through ad troup, and by my God, I can live
- 1:01:08over a word. Believe it, believe it, believe it. Faith
- 1:01:19goes beyond believing the word. Faith moves you past the
- 1:01:25realm of believing to finding out how to stand in
- 1:01:30partnership with the Word, so that you commit God's integrity
- 1:01:34to perform. You can believe God genuinely, and yet you
- 1:01:38have not completed your faith equation. Believing is part of faith,
- 1:01:43but it does not end with believing. Faith is a
- 1:01:47name given to the action you take as proof that
- 1:01:51you believe God. In one word, faith its obedience. In
- 1:01:59one word, faith is obedience.
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: I have to give you number four.
- 1:02:07Speaker 4: This is the fourth and final instruction the Lord gave
- 1:02:09me to be awakened. Number one onto a greater passion
- 1:02:18for God. Still remember number two, prayer onto prayer systematized, consistent,
- 1:02:28heartfelt prayer. The third area of your being awakened is
- 1:02:32how to live by faith. You will fail wofully in
- 1:02:36life if you do not learn how to live by faith.
- 1:02:39There are no guarantees anywhere, no guarantees. The concept of
- 1:02:44a guarantees an illusion. Men are too emotional and too
- 1:02:48inconsistent for you to rest upon them. Someone can say
- 1:02:53I will bless you today and change their mind overnight.
- 1:02:59You need to rest your fae faith upon the integrity
- 1:03:01of the world of God. And then number four. The
- 1:03:04fourth area, and this is a very serious one, is
- 1:03:08to learn to walk in love. This is the fourth
- 1:03:12area of awakening. To work in love. Ephicians five one
- 1:03:17and two. We're about to pray Ephicients five one and two.
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: Work in love. Work in love.
- 1:03:30Speaker 4: It says, be therefore followers of God as their children.
- 1:03:35Verse two it says, and walk in love. It's an
- 1:03:40instruction to work in love. Can I tell you this? Listen,
- 1:03:45hold on for a moment. I want to tell you
- 1:03:47a very big secret. I don't know everything about spirit life,
- 1:03:52but I can tell you this. There are certain dimensions
- 1:03:57of trust you will never get from God until you
- 1:04:01learn to work in love.
- 1:04:04Speaker 2: There are many many people who pray.
- 1:04:07Speaker 4: There are many many people who first but the cancer
- 1:04:12what limits they are being trusted by God with great
- 1:04:16things is that they do not understand the law of love.
- 1:04:21Love looks very feminine, looks very casual. But that's what
- 1:04:26defeated death on the cross. Where power failed, love continued.
- 1:04:32You have to respect love, the Bible says, there remaining
- 1:04:35these three faith that moves mountains hope. That makes not
- 1:04:40a shame, It says love but the greatest. I've seen
- 1:04:46many prayer warriors who knows hatred. I've seen many church
- 1:04:50people who they don't know what attracts all kinds of
- 1:04:53de money things in their lives. To work in love
- 1:04:57is a choice. To work in love is a choice.
- 1:05:01He has nothing to do with feelings. The Bible says,
- 1:05:04to all, no man, nothing but love. The love of
- 1:05:09love is powerful. When you work in love, that's the
- 1:05:14realm of power. It's a realm where Satan will not
- 1:05:17know what to do with your life again, because your
- 1:05:19possibilities become endless.
- 1:05:22Speaker 2: Is someone learning now? Believers need to work in love.
- 1:05:26Speaker 4: Some of the greatest pain believers have received in their lives.
- 1:05:31Speaker 2: Came from church, not outside of church. Are we together now?
- 1:05:36Speaker 4: Yes, so whilst we do all the importation and people
- 1:05:40grow in revelation. There must be a restoration of love,
- 1:05:45and it must be both vertical and horizontal. If you
- 1:05:49love Jesus and you hate men, your love is not genuine.
- 1:05:53The Bible says, how can you say.
- 1:05:55Speaker 2: You love God? Are we together.
- 1:06:00Speaker 4: Whilst you hate your brother God, who you do not see?
- 1:06:05I mean, there's too much hate thread and well, thank
- 1:06:07God that God is helping the body of Christ. Too
- 1:06:10much hatred. People just smile in the open, but their
- 1:06:13hearts are full of hatred. No, it shouldn't be. No,
- 1:06:17it shouldn't be By this Shall all men know that
- 1:06:22ye are My disciples? Not when you pray, not towards
- 1:06:26when you give. When you love Andelujah, and love has indecees,
- 1:06:34love has indecease. The highest index for measuring love is sacrifice.
- 1:06:42There are heights and depths, and length and breadths of love.
- 1:06:47Passion is a dimension of love. Commitment is a dimension
- 1:06:51of love. Pleasure is a dimension of love. Sacrifice is
- 1:06:56a dimension of love. The highest is sacrifice.
- 1:07:00Speaker 2: Greater love.
- 1:07:01Speaker 4: Have no man than this than a man laid down
- 1:07:05his life, love Jesus, love your pastor love yourselves. Love Jesus,
- 1:07:16love your pastor love your leaders. Don't just obey them,
- 1:07:21don't just respect them. They are preachers who are following.
- 1:07:24Let me give you a secret. Don't just desire to
- 1:07:27preach to people. Love them genuinely. There is an energy
- 1:07:31that comes from love. People are not stupid. They know
- 1:07:35when you sincerely love them. Allelujah.
- 1:07:40Speaker 2: Someone learning.
- 1:07:41Speaker 4: Now when you love, you can bend over backwards with
- 1:07:46joy away together. Now, the character of love is that
- 1:07:51love and self cannot coexist. My definition of love is
- 1:07:55the absence of self to the degree to itself dies
- 1:08:01in you. That is a degree to which love is
- 1:08:04a life in you. Are we together? When you genuinely love,
- 1:08:08you look towards the interests of others more than it
- 1:08:12is your own interest. Church is quiet love of love.
- 1:08:21We're about to pray genuine love. Don't hate on people.
- 1:08:25Don't join some of this this, these childish things you
- 1:08:27see going on online, don't do that. Love genuinely. Let
- 1:08:32your words minister love, Let the minister hope. People are
- 1:08:36already wounded, They're already dealing with too many things in
- 1:08:39their lives. Don't add to people's headache. Are we together?
- 1:08:45Love genuinely? The work has in this ministry love yourselves
- 1:08:53the membership, love yourselves genuinely. Does that mean you will
- 1:08:58not offend one another many times? But you see, forgiveness
- 1:09:03is the highest form of giving. The highest form of
- 1:09:07giving is forgiveness.
- 1:09:12Speaker 2: Are we together? I can tell you this when you
- 1:09:15study the moves of God.
- 1:09:18Speaker 4: One of the major reasons why the moves of God
- 1:09:21died asigdned from other things, like you know, flesh and pride,
- 1:09:26was that lack of love, hate tread that brought competition, jealousy, backbiting.
- 1:09:32Once there's no love all manner of the works of
- 1:09:36the flesh, you will see it manifest. The fruit of
- 1:09:39the spirit, the Bible says, is love, and then that
- 1:09:42love is manifested in all its variety.
- 1:09:45Speaker 2: A true Christian is not just known by your prayer life.
- 1:09:48Speaker 4: A true Christian is not just known by first and
- 1:09:51Muslims first, Unbelievers first, Buddhists first, other people first. There
- 1:09:56are people who fast for years. There are people who
- 1:09:59work up breathaans. They don't eat. They believe they live
- 1:10:02on cosmic energy. They literally can eat once in five years.
- 1:10:06They first. Love is my greatest prayer for myself beyond power,
- 1:10:15that I will be one person who loves the Body
- 1:10:17of Christ, loves God's people.
- 1:10:19Speaker 2: Are we together?
- 1:10:21Speaker 4: Someone say I work in love. Say it again, I
- 1:10:24work in love. We're about to pray shortly, but say
- 1:10:27I work in love. Say no offense. Say it again,
- 1:10:31Say no offense. Say consciously reject offense. Listen what demons
- 1:10:39could not do to John, offense.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: Did for him.
- 1:10:43Speaker 4: John, the Bible tells us that of all the prophets,
- 1:10:47you know the kind of mighty prophets when the Old
- 1:10:49Testament that none was as great as John, the man
- 1:10:54who or dangesus in ministry.
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: But Offense came in and incent his disciples.
- 1:11:01Speaker 4: He said, go and ask Jesus heard the voice of Offense,
- 1:11:04are you the Messiah? Or should we expect another? Jesus
- 1:11:08would have said, you and John, two of you are stupid.
- 1:11:10Go and tell you know and all of the No, no, no, no,
- 1:11:12He didn't say that.
- 1:11:14Speaker 2: He healed the.
- 1:11:15Speaker 4: Sick and did all of that, and said, go and
- 1:11:17tell John what you see the blind see the death
- 1:11:20here and all of that the gospel is preached.
- 1:11:22Speaker 2: Then he said, bless said.
- 1:11:24Speaker 4: Is he who is not offended in me and on
- 1:11:29the planter of offense. Look how the prophet died, one
- 1:11:33of the greatest prophets. It was a little girl who
- 1:11:36demanded his head as a bad day gift.
- 1:11:42Speaker 2: Make up your mind.
- 1:11:44Speaker 4: You have tried hate, you've tried resentment, you've tried offense.
- 1:11:49Why don't you trust the law of love? The love
- 1:11:52of love is powerful. It is therapeutic. You know what
- 1:11:56it means to go to bed knowing your conscience is free.
- 1:12:01That's the reason why many people cannot sleep even amno
- 1:12:04intact people. They roar from left to right because they
- 1:12:07have all kinds of books in their hearts. I'm praying
- 1:12:10for you, anyone here having any yoke of unforgiveness of fense. Now,
- 1:12:16don't get me wrong. Listen, Sometimes men can hurt in
- 1:12:21such a way that you almost want to kill yourself
- 1:12:24and kill them.
- 1:12:24Speaker 2: I understand.
- 1:12:26Speaker 4: But the Bible save commands to love. The love comes
- 1:12:30by the Holy ghost. Say I work in love. I
- 1:12:35know it's painful, But say I work in love. You
- 1:12:39decide to work in love and watch the power of
- 1:12:42God all no man, nothing but love. Do not be
- 1:12:47part of those who cause pain to others. No, are

- 1:17:44Please lend me your attention. This kingdom begins with knowing
- 1:17:50Jesus and submitting to his governing authority. You can be
- 1:17:55around church. You may even be a woke up perhaps
- 1:18:00maybe here or any other ministry connected, but that's not
- 1:18:03my question tonight. The call tonight is for those who
- 1:18:09have come to a realization that your life is truly
- 1:18:11empty without Him, who want to move past the gate
- 1:18:15of religion and church into a true fellowship with Jesus
- 1:18:22that translates to a life of victory.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: Honor, and glory.
- 1:18:27Speaker 4: The Bible says God, soul of the world, that he
- 1:18:29gave his only begotten son, that whosoever that blessing is for,
- 1:18:35whosoever believes in him, should not perish, but have life
- 1:18:40everlasting Verse seventeen. God did not send his son to
- 1:18:45the world to condemn the world, it says, but that
- 1:18:48the world.
- 1:18:48Speaker 2: Through him might believe might be saved.

- 1:19:11for God you do not love, and you cannot love
- 1:19:14it God you do not know.
- 1:19:16Speaker 2: It starts with knowing Him. I want to give you
- 1:19:18an opportunity.
