  Hallelujah, Incredible. You cannot tell.
• 0:10
  Hallelujah, Amen. You cannot tell how blessed I
• 0:16
  have been. Just listening to Doctor Andrew
• 0:20
  and then the worship team. You guys are incredible,
• 0:24
  incredible. Hallelujah.
• 0:26
  Praise the name of the Lord. Please help me honor one more
• 0:29
  time Doctor Andrew Sacway and his lovely wife.
• 0:32
  We honor you, Sir. The Lord bless you.
• 0:35
  Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord.
• 0:40
  Pastor, thank you again. Thank you for this opportunity.
• 0:43
  I do not take it for granted. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 0:49
  Hallelujah. Are we ready for tonight?
• 0:54
  Who is like you, Lord, in all the earth?
• 2:25
  Grant us understanding their Spirit of God, and I pray in the
• 2:30
  name of Jesus that indeed will rise and access higher
• 2:34
  dimensions in the Spirit. And to Jesus be all the glory.
• 2:39
  Amen and Amen. Please be seated.
• 2:42
  Hallelujah on this final session with us, the Lord has placed in
• 2:51
  my heart to show us by the Spirit very briefly, and then
• 2:57
  we'll pray how we are able to access help from the Spirit.
• 3:05
  Psalms 18 and verse 29. Let's begin our discussion from
• 3:10
  that Scripture. Psalms 18 It says, for by thee I
• 3:15
  have run through a troop, by my God I have leaped over a wall.
• 3:23
  It is not possible to do this unassisted.
• 3:25
  He said By thee I have run through a troop, and by my God I
• 3:31
  have leaped over a wall. Second Scripture, Psalm 20, from
• 3:37
  verse one to five, 21 to 5, someone be ready to shout, Amen,
• 3:45
  the Lord here in the day of trouble.
• 3:48
  It says the name of the God of Jacob.
• 3:51
  Defend thee while reading to verse 5.
• 3:55
  But my emphasis is the next verse it says send thee help,
• 4:03
  send thee help. Listen.
• 4:06
  That means help can come to you like a messenger, like you send
• 4:10
  someone. It says help can be personified
• 4:14
  and that a man can receive help. Send thee help from his
• 4:19
  sanctuary and strengthen thee out of Zion.
• 4:23
  Verse 3 It says Remember all thy offerings and accept thy burnt
• 4:29
  sacrifice. Verse For now grant, grant thee
• 4:35
  according to thine own heart, and fulfill all thy counsel.
• 4:41
  Verse 5, It says, We will rejoice in thy salvation, and in
• 4:46
  the name of our God will we set up our banner.
• 4:52
  The Lord, fulfill all thy petitions.
• 4:57
  The Bible is very clear as to the fact that there is a limit
• 5:01
  to which a man unassisted by God can go.
• 5:05
  There are certain results and certain possibilities that
• 5:10
  cannot happen to a man unassisted.
• 5:14
  If you make reference to our discussions before now, I think
• 5:17
  in the morning I did share that there are certain results that
• 5:22
  when you see happen in the life of a man, it immediately reveals
• 5:27
  that that individual is in partnership with the realm of
• 5:30
  the Spirit, whether demonically or divine by the spirit.
• 5:36
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 5:39
  Romans Chapter 9 and verse 16 reveals to us our frailty
• 5:45
  outside of the assistance of God.
• 5:49
  It says so then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that
• 5:54
  runeth, but of God that showeth mercy.
• 5:59
  Are we together in Acts chapter 26 and verse 22 very profound
• 6:04
  Scripture 2622 Act it says haven't therefore obtain help of
• 6:10
  God. I continue to this day.
• 6:14
  That means it is not given longevity of impact is not usual
• 6:20
  that when a man sustains that momentum, it is because you have
• 6:25
  obtained help from God to remain in ever increasing dimensions of
• 6:31
  impact. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 6:33
  the Lord in Second Chronicles chapter 2 we read verse 5 in the
• 6:38
  morning. Let's do 15 now.
• 6:40
  Second Chronicles 2515 Hallelujah, the Bible says, am I
• 6:48
  right on that? Second 26 my apologies. 2615
• 6:53
  Second Chronicles 26 and verse 15 Speaking about Uzziah, the
• 7:00
  Bible says let's read together one to read.
• 7:03
  And he made in Jerusalem engines invented by Corning men to be on
• 7:09
  the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and
• 7:14
  great stones without. And his name spread abroad, for
• 7:19
  he was marvelously helped till he was strong.
• 7:24
  That God is able to help men, even ordinary men, by the
• 7:29
  empowerment of the Spirit. So settle it once and for all
• 7:34
  that unassisted by God. There is a limit by default in
• 7:38
  the life of every man. I think in Psalm 121, profound
• 7:42
  Scripture, the psalmist was speaking and he says I will lift
• 7:45
  up my eyes to the heavens. He says from whence comment my
• 7:51
  help? It was a question I will lift up
• 7:55
  my eyes onto the heavens. The heels from whence commit my
• 7:58
  help. Then he says my help.
• 8:01
  That means no assumption. I don't know where yours is
• 8:03
  coming from, but my help comment from the Lord.
• 8:07
  Then he calls him the maker, very powerful name the maker in
• 8:13
  this case of the heavens and the earth.
• 8:16
  But that is not all He makes alone.
• 8:18
  He can make men, He can make destinies.
• 8:22
  When the word became flesh, he told men, Come, follow me and I
• 8:25
  will make you. I will lift up my eyes to the
• 8:31
  heels from whence commit my help.
• 8:34
  And he says My help, not our help, my help.
• 8:39
  Comment from the Lord, the Maker of the heavens and the earth.
• 8:44
  What does it mean to help? To help means to make easy or to
• 8:49
  make possible to make easy or to make possible by offering
• 8:55
  assistance, offering your service, offering your
• 9:00
  resources. The assignment of help is not to
• 9:03
  take over responsibility. The assignment of help is to
• 9:06
  make it easy. Are we together now to provide
• 9:10
  that leverage that sponsors possibilities?
• 9:13
  The Bible says that in the dealings of God with men, men
• 9:18
  can be helped by God, say Amen, businessmen can be helped by
• 9:24
  God, men of God can be helped by God.
• 9:28
  And that when you look at a life and destiny that has obtained
• 9:31
  help from God versus a life that is running in the strength of
• 9:35
  the flesh, the difference is as clear as east to West.
• 9:40
  Hallelujah, praise the name of the Lord.
• 9:43
  Now, according to Scripture, there are three principal ways
• 9:48
  that helps come to the believer. God sends help through these
• 9:54
  channels and I'll talk about just one of them, but I'll list
• 9:57
  all three for you. Number one, the first way God
• 10:02
  helps men is through His mercy. The mercy of God is one of the
• 10:08
  scriptural ways that men obtain help from God.
• 10:13
  I wish we had time would have done a teaching on the mercy of
• 10:17
  God. It is not of him that willeth,
• 10:20
  nor of him that runneth, but of the Lord that helps by showing
• 10:25
  mercy. When God shows a man mercy, it
• 10:31
  opens that man the, the, the. Remember when Jesus was passing
• 10:36
  Jericho, the Bible says there was a mind there called blind
• 10:39
  Battimio. He had been blind from birth,
• 10:42
  and he did not know so much, but the one thing he understood, he
• 10:47
  shouted it with all his heart. Thou son of David, he never
• 10:51
  said, heal me. He said, have mercy on me.
• 10:56
  He said it the more, and he attracted the attention of
• 11:00
  Jesus, and he received his sight.
• 11:03
  Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
• 11:06
  Thou son of David, have mercy on me.
• 11:10
  I don't know so much about you, I don't even know your name, but
• 11:13
  the one thing I know is that you are a merciful God.
• 11:16
  Do you know that the mercy of God was such a formula that the
• 11:20
  nation of Israel. They were taught that when they
• 11:23
  were surrounded by their enemies and defeat was imminent, they
• 11:27
  would shield their swords and began and begin to sing.
• 11:30
  You are good and your messes. And it was not a song, it was a
• 11:35
  formula in the spirit that every time all options fail, begin to
• 11:39
  invoke the mercy of God. That was what happened in the
• 11:44
  days of Jehoshaphat. You are good and your mercies
• 11:48
  endure forever. God's mercy is so powerful that
• 11:52
  it was connected to time. It is renewed every morning.
• 11:55
  It's in your Bible. Is that true?
• 11:59
  The mercy of God, The mercy of God?
• 12:04
  Most believers think that the subject of mercy is only within
• 12:08
  the jurisdiction of sinners. No, granting pardon is just one
• 12:13
  dimension of mercy. Are we together now?
• 12:16
  Yes, I will have mercy upon whom I will have mercy on, and I will
• 12:22
  have compassion on whom I will have compassion on.
• 12:27
  When you find a man who has attracted the mercy of God upon
• 12:31
  his life. In fact, did you know that favor
• 12:34
  only comes when it finds mercy already there?
• 12:38
  If mercy does not find favor there, I mean his favor does not
• 12:41
  find mercy there, it will not go.
• 12:44
  It is mercy that attracts favor to come, is it not?
• 12:47
  In your Bible? Thou shall arise and have mercy
• 12:51
  upon Zion. Not because Zion needed mercy
• 12:55
  the time to favor her, but mercy must first proceed.
• 13:00
  Yeah, the set time is come. When He arises to favor you, He
• 13:06
  first shows you mercy. It is even the mercy of God that
• 13:10
  sponsors encounters. It says below the Cheryl Beams
• 13:14
  are both the messy seat there. I will meet with you and I will
• 13:18
  come in with you face to face. You are the one that we pray.
• 13:28
  You are the one we adore. You give the healing and grace
• 13:37
  that our hearts always hunger. Oh, our hearts always hunger.
• 13:51
  The mercy of God is mysteriously powerful.
• 13:55
  When a believer receives the mercy of God, you know,
• 13:59
  respectfully speaking, I will tell you as I look at my life
• 14:04
  and look at the things that God has done and then that which He
• 14:07
  does in the life of others, beyond grace, beyond
• 14:12
  achievement, all I see is His mercy.
• 14:17
  Happy is the man that has found mercy before God.
• 14:20
  Your life becomes a mystery, a living epistle.
• 14:24
  You will know. It becomes clear.
• 14:30
  Are we together now? Yes, this is an orientation you
• 14:33
  must have tonight. That for your destiny to ever be
• 14:38
  actualized, if you must rise to a place where your life becomes
• 14:43
  an effulgence of God's glory, you cannot ignore the help of
• 14:47
  God. And that the first way God helps
• 14:50
  men is by showing them mercy. Someone say mercy.
• 14:54
  Say it with understanding. The call for mercy is not for
• 14:59
  weak people. The call for mercy is for wise
• 15:01
  people, men who understand that outside of the assistance of
• 15:06
  heaven there is a limitation. We have a system of advantage
• 15:11
  programmed in our work with God. The first of them is the mercy
• 15:16
  of God #2 very quickly forsake of time.
• 15:24
  How does God show men help the second way that the Lord helps
• 15:29
  men to rise and to accelerate is through the gift of men.
• 15:36
  The second way God helps men is through men.
• 15:40
  Please do not forget this teaching men men strategic
• 15:47
  relationships. I did teach you, I think it was
• 15:49
  yesterday or this morning, that there are three kinds of
• 15:53
  relationships, general relationships, seasonal
• 15:56
  relationships, covenant or destiny relationships.
• 16:01
  And I told you that when God wants to help a man, God will
• 16:05
  bring destiny. Help us to your life.
• 16:07
  Men ordained, please listen. Men commissioned and mandated to
• 16:13
  support your rising. They are not people who
• 16:16
  freelance into your life. They may not even know they were
• 16:19
  called, but they were ordained by God.
• 16:23
  That was the mistake. That was the predicament.
• 16:27
  The real problem of the man at Bethesda was not his limitation.
• 16:33
  It was the absence of help through the ministry of men.
• 16:37
  Mercy was already there by the the pool, but the second level
• 16:43
  of help was not there and so he was even in it 1 push into the
• 16:48
  pool and he remained there for 38 years.
• 16:51
  Mercy abundant, but the absence of men.
• 16:55
  When Jesus came and said what is your problem?
• 16:57
  He said my problem is there is mercy, but I have no man, I have
• 17:03
  no man meaning everyone who enjoyed that mercy was supported
• 17:07
  by the ministry of men. Jesus on his way to Golgotha as
• 17:13
  prophecy said would be, and the Bible tells us that he was so
• 17:16
  weak from the bleeding that has had come from his body, He
• 17:20
  collapsed on the way. Jesus, your Jesus did not have
• 17:24
  the strength by himself even though the word of God now in
• 17:29
  the flesh, now he had become the embodiment of sin.
• 17:32
  He did not have the strength to go down to Golgotha with the
• 17:36
  cross and he collapsed there. I hope you realize that if Jesus
• 17:39
  died on the ground, He could not save your sin because it is
• 17:43
  written Cursed is he that hanged on the tree, that the blessings
• 17:47
  of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles to the end that we
• 17:51
  might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
• 17:54
  That's what the Bible teaches. So if Jesus fell on the ground,
• 17:58
  he would just be an innocent man who was victimized till he died.
• 18:03
  The entire purpose of his death will be robbed if you did not
• 18:07
  hang up on the tree. But there was help, a man was
• 18:11
  brought to him called Simon of Cyrene and that man helped him.
• 18:19
  You would think because he was God.
• 18:20
  He said, I know as God he did not need help, but when he
• 18:24
  became a man he needed a man. Please listen very carefully.
• 18:29
  You are as powerful as the man that God puts around your life
• 18:34
  to support your journey to greatness.
• 18:37
  I have told you, if God says yes and in this world of men, men
• 18:41
  say no, your yes remains in the realm of the Spirit.
• 18:45
  All blessings come from God through men to men.
• 18:50
  All destructions come from Satan through man to man.
• 18:55
  In any case, men are the prophetic midwives that can help
• 18:59
  people to actualize destiny or otherwise.
• 19:02
  Are you understanding me? The Bible talks about a very
• 19:05
  strange man in the Bible called Mephibosheth.
• 19:09
  Have you heard of that man? The man did not commit any
• 19:12
  crime. His only mistake.
• 19:15
  No, not a mistake. His predicament was because of
• 19:19
  the carelessness of a midwife. That was it.
• 19:21
  And he became crippled for the rest of his life.
• 19:24
  The woman sent to help the safe delivery, for whatever reason,
• 19:29
  she made a mistake. The Bible notes her mistake the
• 19:35
  mistake of a midwife crippled a man with the potential for a
• 19:39
  great destiny for life. The mistake of a midwife someone
• 19:46
  say man it's important for you to know how God answers your
• 19:51
  prayer. The moment you pray and ask God
• 19:54
  start looking around. Men are like trace in the
• 19:57
  spirit. They come buffet of
• 19:59
  possibilities. You need to have that
• 20:02
  discernment. Men are sorrowful.
• 20:04
  The psalmist was contemplating this and he said what is man?
• 20:08
  I would quote it this way. What is in man, Lord?
• 20:11
  What did you hide in man that even man is not aware of?
• 20:15
  Men are a compendium of possibilities when you see them
• 20:20
  come. God hides His anointing in men.
• 20:23
  He hides His wisdom in men. Did your Bible not say there is
• 20:26
  this treasure, but that it is hidden in effing vessels?
• 20:32
  Do not forget this teaching that when God wants to help a man to
• 20:36
  rise to the place of destiny, number 1, He grants you access
• 20:41
  to His mercy #2 gift of men. Are you ready for #3 the third
• 20:48
  way that God helps man is by the ministry, the Holy Spirit.
• 20:53
  He's called the helper. And I just want to talk for a
• 20:57
  few minutes here and then we'll wrap up.
• 21:00
  Doctor Andy just began to discuss that so intelligently
• 21:03
  and powerfully. I was so blessed in my spirit.
• 21:06
  I said he's already begun the decision.
• 21:09
  The Holy Spirit, the Bible calls him the helper, the helper, his
• 21:17
  many things. But my, my interest as far as
• 21:21
  this discussion tonight is concerned, is the Holy Spirit as
• 21:25
  helper. Second Corinthians chapter 3 and
• 21:30
  verse 5. Apostle Paul is mentoring the
• 21:34
  church in Corinth, and here's what he said.
• 21:36
  Not that we are sufficient of ourselves.
• 21:40
  Is that your Bible? I already explained to you that
• 21:43
  the word sufficiency means the ability to to have capacity
• 21:49
  always rising to the occasion, never disappointing.
• 21:53
  He's saying when you see us always meeting up standards,
• 21:57
  it's not because we have an intrinsic ability as such.
• 22:01
  He says our sufficiency is of God.
• 22:06
  That means the the factor in our lives that seem to make us
• 22:11
  invincible is our partnership, our partnership with God.
• 22:16
  The Bible says next verse, verse 6, It says who have made us able
• 22:23
  ministers, able ministers, able ministers.
• 22:31
  Hallelujah. Jesus began to talk about the
• 22:35
  Holy Spirit. In fact, before I get there in
• 22:37
  Ephesians chapter 6 and verse 10, Apostle Paul is teaching the
• 22:41
  disciples and then when he's done with all his discussion.
• 22:45
  Now theologically speaking, it is believed that the book of
• 22:48
  Ephesians contains about the most balanced exigencies of the
• 22:54
  entire believers journey. Are we together because Paul
• 22:58
  gently and toss the believers in Ephesus from verse one and two.
• 23:02
  He reveals to them their position on account of the
• 23:05
  finished work of Christ. Then he helps them to understand
• 23:09
  the dynamics of walking worthy of their call.
• 23:12
  Then he teaches them how to stand against the Wiles of the
• 23:16
  enemy. Are we together now?
• 23:18
  Now when we get verse 6, he says finally in conclusion, haven't
• 23:23
  taught you all the other matters of the Kingdom.
• 23:26
  He said, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, be strong in the
• 23:32
  Lord and in the power of his might.
• 23:35
  Please give was amplified if we can find that very quickly
• 23:38
  amplified says draw your strength from your union with
• 23:41
  him. Finally, brethren, he says in
• 23:46
  conclusion, be strong in the Lord.
• 23:47
  He empowered through your union with him.
• 23:52
  Draw your strength from Kim. That strength which is boundless
• 23:56
  might provides be strong in the Lord and in the power of his
• 24:02
  might be strong in the Lord. Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 24:08
  the Lord. So Romans chapter 8 and verse
• 24:11
  26. Let me take it from where
• 24:15
  Pastelos while he was teaching here, he said likewise.
• 24:19
  That means similarly as in the the pretext before this, that
• 24:25
  same vein, the spirit helpeth. Do you see the word there?
• 24:31
  The Spirit helped our infirmity, the word firmity.
• 24:35
  There is not the word sickness. It's not related to sickness in
• 24:39
  this context at all. The word infirmity, there is
• 24:42
  bodily limitation. The limitation that come to us
• 24:46
  by reason of wearing a mortal body.
• 24:50
  He's saying unassisted by there are limitations.
• 24:53
  For instance, we know in part and we prophecy in part is a
• 24:57
  limitation. Hallelujah.
• 25:02
  But the Bible says the Spirit helpeth our infirmity, that the
• 25:07
  Holy Spirit can provide a leverage and advantage to the
• 25:11
  believer and the Bible calls it help.
• 25:16
  How does the Holy Spirit help the believer?
• 25:19
  Can I run through the list very quickly #1 The Holy Spirit,
• 25:23
  according to Scripture, helps the believer by revealing the
• 25:27
  mind or will of God to the believer.
• 25:31
  It is important to know this. In this Kingdom, the will of God
• 25:36
  is very important. You only succeed to the degree
• 25:41
  to which your life gravitates towards the will or in fact, the
• 25:45
  assignment, the jurisdiction of the power of God, the
• 25:49
  administration of the power of God, is to bring all things into
• 25:53
  the will of God. Did you know that the assignment
• 25:56
  of the anointing is to bring every anomaly in your life into
• 26:01
  the will of God? So for the anointing to walk, it
• 26:04
  has to vet what dimension of your life is inconsistent with
• 26:08
  the will of God. And then it exerts a force, an
• 26:12
  energy that brings your life to the will of God.
• 26:15
  The end point of the manifestation of the power of
• 26:19
  God is that you walk entire in the will of God.
• 26:23
  If you understand that, say Amen in Colossians chapter 1 and
• 26:27
  verse 9. Paul was mentoring the church in
• 26:30
  Colossae. Please give us that scripture.
• 26:31
  Colossians chapter 1 and verse 9.
• 26:33
  Here's what he says for this cause also, since the day we
• 26:38
  heard it, do not cease to pray for you, he says, and to desire
• 26:42
  that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will.
• 26:46
  Is that in your Bible? It was the desire of Paul that
• 26:50
  you might be filled with the knowledge of his will.
• 26:55
  No, I come in the volume of the book.
• 26:58
  He says to do your will. Jesus found from shore where it
• 27:04
  was written concerning him. The Bible says it was give him
• 27:08
  the scroll of Messiahs Luke chapter 4 and he stood up for to
• 27:11
  read and he began to change the messianic prophecy and he closed
• 27:16
  the book and said, this day is this Scripture fulfilled.
• 27:19
  They fastened their eyes on him and he began to walk wonders and
• 27:23
  miracles. Someone said the will of of God
• 27:27
  one more time say the will of God Hallelujah.
• 27:31
  This is very, very powerful in first Corinthians chapter 2 one
• 27:35
  verse 10, still speaking about the will of God.
• 27:38
  The Bible says no eye has seen, no ear has heard what God has
• 27:43
  prepared to install or has installed them that love him but
• 27:50
  Hallelujah. But under normal circumstances
• 27:53
  it is too deep, too high, too vast.
• 27:56
  But next verse verse 10. Now please go to verse 10 go to
• 28:04
  understand, but God had revealed them to us how by his Spirit
• 28:10
  because the Holy Spirit has the unique advantage of searching
• 28:14
  all things, including the big things of God.
• 28:18
  That means the Holy Spirit is able to search the mind of the
• 28:21
  Father and to reveal to you the book Prince per time per season
• 28:26
  is a risk to assume a path and believe that that was the path a
• 28:30
  mat for you because the Bible is there is a way that sits met
• 28:34
  right onto a man, he says, but the end thereof are the ways of
• 28:38
  destruction. The Holy Spirit reveals the will
• 28:42
  of God. We had a little tour of your
• 28:45
  beautiful facility after service and I listened to pastor as he
• 28:50
  shared, you know, I'd like to hear the stories of men how this
• 28:53
  came about and the summary of everything was the the mastery
• 28:58
  of hearing God. And Doctor Andy taught us again
• 29:01
  very powerfully, walking in the will of God, provided you're in
• 29:08
  the will of God, there is immunity.
• 29:11
  When you walk in the will of God, you are at risk when you
• 29:14
  are outside the will of God, the jealousy of God is mandated to
• 29:17
  defend you within the jurisdiction of his will.
• 29:23
  Do you understand this? The will of God.
• 29:26
  It is the assignment of the Holy Spirit, in partnership with the
• 29:29
  word God, to make known to the believer the will of God, the
• 29:35
  will of God, the will of God #2 The Holy Spirit helps the
• 29:42
  believer by providing direction and guidance.
• 29:48
  Direction and guidance. This is very powerful.
• 29:52
  John chapter 16 reading from 12 and 13 John 1612 and 13.
• 30:00
  Jesus said I have many things, I have yet many things to say unto
• 30:05
  you, but ye cannot bear them. Now do you know the many things
• 30:08
  he had to tell them? Those were the things that were
• 30:11
  revealed by Paul. Imagine the gospel without the
• 30:13
  epistles. We would never even there was no
• 30:16
  mention of our position in Christ.
• 30:18
  The implication of the realities of redemption.
• 30:22
  The Gospel is the foundation for understanding, but the Pauline
• 30:26
  epistle gives us clarity and perspective.
• 30:29
  It was Paul that began to help the believer understand, giving
• 30:32
  us a sound exergesis of the the implication of the death, burial
• 30:38
  and resurrection of Jesus to the believer.
• 30:40
  It was Paul who mentored us to understand the dynamics of
• 30:44
  walking in the Spirit. It was Him who arranged
• 30:47
  methodically the operation of the Holy Spirit in the life of
• 30:51
  the believer. The assignment of Paul was to be
• 30:55
  used by the Spirit to bring the many things Jesus wanted to tell
• 30:59
  them, but they could not bear because the Holy Spirit was not
• 31:02
  in them. Are we together now?
• 31:05
  I have yet many things to say unto you, but He cannot bear
• 31:09
  them now. I love the next verse.
• 31:11
  How be it when He the Spirit of truth is come?
• 31:15
  My Bible says He shall guide you into all truth.
• 31:19
  Say all truth, not some truth, all truth.
• 31:23
  Very instructive statement here. Just because you are around
• 31:28
  truth does not mean it will bless you.
• 31:30
  You must be guided because the devil can use truth to destroy.
• 31:35
  I hope you know truth is like a knife.
• 31:37
  It depends on how you use it. When Satan came to tempt Jesus,
• 31:45
  temptation 2 and 3 was based on it is 10.
• 31:51
  It is written shall keep his changes charge over you.
• 31:56
  They shall barely upon their will, lest you dash your feet
• 31:59
  against a stone. It is written Hallelujah.
• 32:05
  The Holy Spirit guides you in all truth.
• 32:07
  Remember in Acts chapter 16 if your Bible students the Bible
• 32:11
  talks about a damsel who was prophesying accurately all did
• 32:16
  under the spirit of divination and that by that prophet she
• 32:20
  brought dead grains. So if you were following the
• 32:23
  correctness or the accuracy of the speech, she got it right.
• 32:27
  This were holy men of God, but it will by the influence of
• 32:30
  divination is a familiar spirit. When the spirit of truth is
• 32:36
  come, He will guide, he will guide you many things that look
• 32:41
  right, he will still guide you. He will activate your organs of
• 32:47
  interacting with the realm of the Spirit so that for a reason
• 32:50
  you cannot explain, A proposal can be all excellent, but you
• 32:54
  will still be constrained to go for it, and you do not even know
• 32:58
  why. The guidance of the Spirit
• 33:00
  leading you through the paths of life and your destiny will
• 33:04
  continue to spell excellence in ways that even you can explain,
• 33:08
  because you have submitted to the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
• 33:12
  Let me tell you what it means to guide and to direct.
• 33:15
  They are not the same thing. To direct means to show you the
• 33:22
  path that leads to your destination.
• 33:25
  To guide means to show you the steps that leads to your
• 33:29
  destination. So if I'm to direct you out of
• 33:32
  this auditorium, I will say go, there is a door there.
• 33:36
  If I see well there is another door there, go and turn left.
• 33:40
  That is direction, not guidance. If I'm guiding you, I will let
• 33:44
  you know that there is a depression here.
• 33:46
  You may fall even though looking at the right direction.
• 33:49
  So the assignment of guidance is to play the understanding for
• 33:54
  the steps to take while direction forces on the
• 33:57
  destination. Guidance focuses on the process,
• 34:01
  and the Holy Spirit both directs and guides.
• 34:08
  Is someone learning? Most of us have opened up our
• 34:12
  spirits to be directed but not to be guided.
• 34:16
  So we say, I know what God has said, that by the end of this
• 34:20
  year this is what I will become. But do you want to understand
• 34:23
  the dynamics of your daily work that eventually leads you to
• 34:26
  that prophecy? The Holy Spirit provides
• 34:32
  guidance. Holy Spirit provide guidance.
• 34:36
  The Holy Spirit provides guidance.
• 34:40
  The Holy Spirit guides #3 How does the Holy Spirit help men?
• 34:47
  The ministry of empowerment It is exclusively within the office
• 34:52
  of the spirit to empower the now.
• 34:55
  There are two dimensions of grace that the Bible teaches.
• 34:58
  The first is called saving grace.
• 35:01
  The grace of God that bring get men to salvation are we together
• 35:06
  has appeared unto all men. That dimension grace appears to
• 35:10
  all men and you do not grow in that dimension of grace because
• 35:15
  the assignment is to sponsor administering the life of God to
• 35:19
  you. And once that happens, it's
• 35:21
  exhausted. It's validity in your life.
• 35:23
  The second level of grace is called enabling grace.
• 35:28
  Philippians 413 I can do all things.
• 35:34
  That is a very, very arrogant statement.
• 35:37
  How does a man stand to say I can do all things?
• 35:40
  Do you know how many things there are to be done in your
• 35:42
  lifetime? And yet he says I can do all
• 35:45
  things. But he says through Christ,
• 35:49
  through Christ that strengthens me.
• 35:52
  Through Christ that strengthens me, there is an enabling grace
• 35:58
  price. Paul besought the Lord over the
• 36:01
  turn in his flesh and God's reply to was my grace is
• 36:05
  sufficient. Are we together?
• 36:09
  So you do a doing, but the empowerment comes from the
• 36:12
  Spirit. Extraordinary manifestations by
• 36:16
  the power of the Holy Spirit. How does a man use the jawbone
• 36:20
  of a donkey and would single handedly slay 3000 Philistines?
• 36:25
  He did the fighting, but the empowerment was of the Spirit.
• 36:29
  Is someone learning now? So the Holy Spirit empowers us.
• 36:35
  He brings us into maturity. He helps us by the Spirit to
• 36:40
  walk in power. Supernatural power.
• 36:44
  Power is so important that the Bible is not silent as to the
• 36:49
  fact that believers need to be empowered.
• 36:52
  Jesus for 3 1/2 years had mentored the disciples and
• 36:55
  transferred sufficient knowledge, but he still told
• 36:58
  them until ye be endued with power from on high.
• 37:03
  When Jesus resurrected, he called the disciples to continue
• 37:07
  the final phase of his actors before his ascension to heaven.
• 37:11
  Hallelujah. And when he began to teach them
• 37:14
  in Acts to 1. Because you see, their idea was
• 37:17
  that Jesus was going to come and restore the nation of evil.
• 37:21
  As we know, that happened in the 1940s.
• 37:23
  Historically, they thought that that would happen within that
• 37:26
  time. That was why they were
• 37:28
  negotiating political positions for themselves.
• 37:32
  They left fishing not because they wanted to go to heaven or
• 37:34
  they wanted to be apostles. We're hoping that by walking
• 37:38
  with Jesus they would earn a very comfortable position when
• 37:43
  he's finally done with Caesar and all of these people.
• 37:46
  Now Jesus told them he was going.
• 37:48
  That was why they were angry. Going to where to live?
• 37:51
  You cause trouble. We're we're enemies.
• 37:54
  We don't have families. Again, you are not.
• 37:56
  It was not compassionate. They were not missing.
• 37:58
  We were angry. We left everything to do and now
• 38:02
  you cause chaos all around Rome and you said you're going.
• 38:06
  Peter said you're not going anywhere, you're not going.
• 38:09
  That was why when they came to catch Jesus and he gave himself,
• 38:13
  they were disappointed. They expected to shake them off,
• 38:17
  walk through them and he gave himself.
• 38:20
  Peter ran away when Jesus died. He was disappointed.
• 38:24
  Managing his disappointment in John 21, he said I go out
• 38:28
  fishing and the people said we go with you.
• 38:30
  We see in your Bible I go often. Let me go back and do what I was
• 38:36
  doing for three years before this man deceived me.
• 38:39
  I hope you know Peter had a wife, he had responsibilities.
• 38:45
  So Jesus comes to them in John 21 and Peter in his frustration.
• 38:50
  Listen, there are times where everything is right, but minus
• 38:55
  God you will still fail. Look at Peter at sea.
• 38:58
  Remember he returned back in anger to fish.
• 39:01
  The boat was there, the skill was there, the net was there,
• 39:06
  the sea was there, even the fish was there, but he could not
• 39:10
  catch it. There are times that every
• 39:13
  parameter is right. Your skill is there, the boat is
• 39:18
  there, the net is there. The experience, the fish he was
• 39:23
  looking for was there, but he could not catch it.
• 39:27
  Here comes Jesus, little children, have you any catch?
• 39:32
  And he looked, not knowing it was Jesus.
• 39:34
  He's a Castro net to the right side.
• 39:36
  This is Jesus now and the Bible says when he casted the net they
• 39:41
  could not leave the net because he was about to break and Peter
• 39:45
  was watching himself. He realized it was Jesus and he
• 39:48
  said depart from me for I'm a Sinner and Jesus said no that's
• 39:51
  not the issue. Come, Simon, Bajona, lovers,
• 39:54
  down me more than this, he said. Feed my lamp.
• 39:58
  And then the discussion continued.
• 40:00
  Peter was so broken by that encounter, the same Peter when
• 40:04
  the Holy Ghost came in Acts chapter 2, they thought that
• 40:07
  these men were drunk. Now there was no time to run
• 40:09
  away. He said calm down, let me
• 40:11
  preach. This is that that prophet Joel
• 40:14
  said. And from Joel to David he began
• 40:17
  the same man who was running away confused.
• 40:20
  But when power came upon him by the ministry of the Holy Spirit.
• 40:25
  Are we together now? When he began to speak, he
• 40:29
  rounded up with Sam by saying, Let it be known to you that this
• 40:33
  same Jesus whom you have crucified has now been exalted
• 40:37
  as Lord and Christ. The effect.
• 40:39
  The Bible says they were caught to the heart.
• 40:41
  And they said, men and brethren, what shall we do?
• 40:43
  He says repent for the remission of your sins, and then you shall
• 40:47
  receive of this promise for the promises unto you, your
• 40:51
  children, your children's children, as many as are far
• 40:54
  off, even those that the Lord will call 3000 people came and
• 40:58
  the ministry the same Peter the Bible says handkerchiefs and
• 41:02
  aprons. Look at this guy that the shadow
• 41:04
  of Peter, all the extraordinary manifestations by the Spirit.
• 41:11
  Weak men become strong when they are with the Holy Ghost.
• 41:14
  You see, let me tell you the truth, Jesus said the Holy Ghost
• 41:19
  is with you and shall be in you. It's important you understand,
• 41:24
  and Doctor Andy explained it so powerfully.
• 41:27
  Union and partnership. Are we together now?
• 41:32
  Yes, that union is a state, is a spiritual reality when you are
• 41:36
  in Christ. But your partnership requires
• 41:38
  the active participation of your will continually and
• 41:42
  consistently. It takes partnership with Him to
• 41:47
  change your thoughts. And like Pastor taught us, there
• 41:51
  are three indices according to Scripture that describe the
• 41:55
  maturity of the believer. You find that in First
• 41:57
  Corinthians 13 and verse 11. When I was a child, he said, I
• 42:02
  spoke like a child, I understood like a child, I thought like a
• 42:08
  child, he says. But now that I am a man, I lay
• 42:11
  aside these childish things, childish speaking, childish
• 42:15
  thinking, childish understanding, Hallelujah,
• 42:22
  praise the name of the Lord. Then He begins to bide you.
• 42:26
  Then He empowers you. Ladies and gentlemen, let me
• 42:29
  tell you sincerely, when the Holy Spirit comes in and upon a
• 42:36
  believer, even in His power, your life becomes a sign and a
• 42:40
  wonder that you embrace the help of God.
• 42:46
  Elevation Church today is beyond the testimony of an intelligent
• 42:51
  man. Even that, even though that is
• 42:52
  true, is beyond the testimony of a great man who has endured so
• 42:57
  much. That is true.
• 42:58
  But I can tell you all that you see, that you celebrate and you
• 43:02
  are part of right in this place and globally speaking is a
• 43:06
  testament that when the Holy Ghost holds the hand of a man,
• 43:09
  incredible things happen. Let me give you one story.
• 43:13
  I'm not very good in sharing my stories for whatever reason, but
• 43:16
  let me share one and then we'll pray.
• 43:18
  Are you ready to hear Story Story now?
• 43:22
  Once Upon a time, listen very carefully.
• 43:25
  No, no, no, no, no. That's Hallelujah.
• 43:37
  So one day I had a vision, and this was the vision that has
• 43:43
  become the bedrock of what God is doing today.
• 43:46
  In that vision, I was in a room, it was an elevated, like a story
• 43:51
  building, and I ran into that room because of fear.
• 43:56
  In that vision there were people who were looking for me as
• 43:59
  though to destroy me. And I was in that room and all
• 44:03
  of a sudden through the window, I looked out and I saw an
• 44:07
  endless sea of people. It was a whole generation
• 44:10
  crying. And then it began to zoomed to
• 44:15
  me and I was talking with the people, the the ones who were in
• 44:19
  front and they were crying. And I heard what they said, no
• 44:22
  food and no water. And I said, who is the 'cause I
• 44:26
  was so grieved in my spirit. And they unanimously pointed to
• 44:30
  me. I said no, I can't be that
• 44:31
  wicked. I can't be that heartless.
• 44:34
  And then I made-up my mind. I said I will come down and do
• 44:37
  whatever it is within my power to help you.
• 44:40
  But I remembered in that vision how frail I was.
• 44:44
  I took the step of faith and I opened the door.
• 44:47
  Here's where I'm going. As soon as I opened the door,
• 44:50
  there was this giant grey bearded man who stretched his
• 44:55
  giant hands and said give me your hands.
• 44:58
  And my small tiny hands held his hand and we began to walk
• 45:04
  together. We were jumping from building to
• 45:07
  building. There was a ladder.
• 45:09
  I couldn't jump so he would jump and smile at me while I'm
• 45:13
  walking on the ladder to connect to him.
• 45:15
  I didn't know that was the Holy Spirit.
• 45:19
  It was a revelation of the Excellency that can emanate from
• 45:23
  the life of an ordinary man when you are in partnership with the
• 45:26
  Holy Spirit. Listen to me, ladies and
• 45:28
  gentlemen, the Holy Spirit is not for preachers or those in
• 45:34
  the fivefold. They are just the ones who are
• 45:36
  most conscious of His ministry. That is why it seems that He
• 45:40
  seems to find greater or the greatest expression with them.
• 45:45
  As I'm speaking to you now, I just sense that there is an
• 45:48
  anointing, there is a glory. The Holy Spirit is searching for
• 45:51
  men and saying, would you give me a chance to make a wonder and
• 45:56
  a sign out of your life? Look what he's done to men in
• 45:59
  Scripture, ordinary men who walked with the Holy Ghost.
• 46:02
  They became powerful men. Are we talking of women?
• 46:06
  The Bible archives them in Hebrew.
• 46:08
  Chapter 11 it says time will fail me to talk of Gideon,
• 46:12
  Jetta, and Barack. Even though it was truth, faith,
• 46:15
  but it was by the Spirit, because it is not by might, it
• 46:19
  is not by power, it is by the Spirit.
• 46:24
  Mary, the young virgin, a young lady who was happy like any
• 46:29
  other lady, preparing for her marriage with Joseph.
• 46:33
  All of a sudden she receives a strange salutation. 1 morning
• 46:36
  Gabriel comes to her and gives her a disturbing salutation.
• 46:41
  Let's say that you are among women, you are highly favored.
• 46:44
  And she wondered what kind of salutation this was.
• 46:47
  Then he tells her that she's going to be with child, however
• 46:51
  without the assistance of a man. And she asks a very, very
• 46:55
  profound question. How shall these things be,
• 46:58
  seeing that I know not a man? Paras Kubaliata, how shall these
• 47:04
  things be? How shall it be that I will
• 47:06
  build the business in six months without certain people, without
• 47:11
  belonging to certain groups? How shall it be that from a
• 47:15
  family that does not seem to have any pedigree of honor?
• 47:19
  How shall these things be, seeing that I know not a man?
• 47:23
  I'm about to give you an answer that you will give men when they
• 47:26
  say, How did this happen? How did it happen that Saul
• 47:29
  became Paul? How did it happen that this
• 47:32
  ordinary lady, how did Esther suddenly become?
• 47:36
  How did this happen? How shall it be?
• 47:47
  How will these things be? Saying that I know not a man
• 47:52
  watch this Gabriel's answer is my message tonight.
• 47:59
  The Angel answered and said, The Holy Ghost look 13435 Ah, the
• 48:07
  The Angel answered, Thank God that you are a virgin.
• 48:12
  Thank God that you are a wonderful lady.
• 48:14
  But this kind of possibility is beyond the scope of your
• 48:18
  preparation. It is a Holy Ghost.
• 48:22
  How shall it be that an ordinary preacher would lay hands on
• 48:26
  another and bring someone out of a wheelchair?
• 48:28
  How shall it be that you speak to nations and program a
• 48:32
  spiritual climate of possibilities over people?
• 48:36
  How shall it be that you say, let it be and it will be?
• 48:40
  The centurion said, I know you, you're a man on the authority.
• 48:44
  There is the influence of the Spirit upon you.
• 48:46
  Please have that Lady. It says I said to 1 go and you
• 48:50
  go to another come and he comes speak the word only.
• 48:55
  He said how shall it be this things be seeing that I know not
• 49:03
  man. And it says the Holy Ghost give
• 49:06
  us that scripture. The Holy Ghost, Luke chapter 1
• 49:11
  and verse 35 shall come upon you, and the power of the
• 49:15
  highest He didn't say will come upon you, will over shadow you
• 49:20
  is the word baptizo. You are immersed, immersed in
• 49:24
  that glory, immersed in that power.
• 49:51
  Elohim, Elohim, Elohim, on this final night, it was by the
• 50:11
  Spirit that Doctor Andrew began to teach you about the
• 50:15
  leadership of the Spirit. And now I am telling you that
• 50:18
  the Holy Ghost is the factor that turns ordinary men into
• 50:23
  signs and wonders. The Holy Ghost does not just
• 50:26
  over shadow men. He overshadows things like your
• 50:30
  business, things like your family.
• 50:34
  Handkerchiefs and aprons, is it not?
• 50:36
  In your Bible? We're taken from out of the body
• 50:39
  of Paul. Handkerchiefs and aprons.
• 50:44
  The Holy Ghost overshadowed Mary and a vision was birthed.
• 50:49
  The world became flesh by the Holy Ghost.
• 50:52
  The Holy Ghost is not an Angel. Listen to me ladies and
• 50:55
  gentlemen, The Holy Spirit is not one of those deities.
• 50:59
  He is God. He was sent by Jesus.
• 51:02
  He is the believers advantage. Even the scripture that you read
• 51:06
  was a possibility because of his presence.
• 51:09
  Man, holy man wrote as they were inspired by the Holy Ghost.
• 51:15
  To ignore the Holy Spirit is to ignore your possibility for
• 51:19
  rising, for lifting. Listen, watch this.
• 51:23
  You're Jesus, you're Jesus. My God, I just saw like a dolph
• 51:31
  and I'm seeing the number 9. It's coming on nine people right
• 51:35
  now. I stretch my hands. 9 Paroske
• 51:39
  Pariketa, help them please, in the name that is above all
• 51:42
  names, Haka Shoto Pasceta, I bring you the ministry of the
• 51:47
  Holy Ghost in the name of Jesus transforming you.
• 51:51
  Turning to a sign and a wonder, listen, your Jesus walked under
• 52:01
  a close heaven. For 30 years, even though He was
• 52:05
  the Word Incarnate, the Father never uttered a word because he
• 52:11
  had not received the ministry of the Holy Ghost.
• 52:13
  He was born of the Spirit, but that was not enough.
• 52:17
  That is a kind of new birth. But now he needed to receive of
• 52:21
  the Spirit. The Bible says when he came to
• 52:23
  John, John spoke rightfully. So behold the Lamb of God that
• 52:28
  takes away the sins of the world.
• 52:33
  But then when he baptized John, it's in your Bible that when
• 52:36
  John came out of the waters, your Bible says the heavens were
• 52:40
  opened and the Holy Spirit in the similitude of a dove, came
• 52:46
  and descended upon your Jesus. If Jesus needed the Holy Ghost,
• 52:52
  Businessman, you need more than a proposal and an idea.
• 52:57
  Please listen to me politician. You need more than intelligence
• 53:04
  to just formulate policies. It was by the Spirit of God that
• 53:09
  Daniel excelled even in Babylon. I bring you the ministry of the
• 53:13
  Holy Spirit, the believers advantage.
• 53:19
  It is a way God helps man. When God looks at a man in his
• 53:23
  lowly estate, Listen, you know we're going to pray shortly.
• 53:28
  My God, there's such. There's such an impartation of
• 53:32
  grace. You will never be the same.
• 53:34
  Never, never be the same. I am speaking to you by the
• 53:38
  Spirit, your life, your ministry, your family.
• 53:43
  Never be the same. The Holy Spirit behind every
• 54:00
  preacher doing great things for the Kingdom is the Holy Spirit.
• 54:05
  Behind every businessman doing exploits for the Kingdom is the
• 54:10
  Holy Spirit. Behind every family thriving and
• 54:14
  excelling in spite of the vicissitudes of life, is the
• 54:18
  Holy Spirit. Again, how shall these things
• 54:23
  be, seeing that you know not a man?
• 54:26
  Elijah speed was sponsored by the Holy Ghost, the Bible says,
• 54:30
  and the hand of the Lord came upon Elijah.
• 54:33
  Is that in your Bible? That means the hand of the Lord
• 54:36
  can come upon you and cause you to begin to run and overtake the
• 54:40
  Chariots of Aha, even down to Israel.
• 54:43
  That 10 years can be put in one year by the Holy Ghost, by the
• 54:48
  Holy Ghost, by the Holy Ghost. Listen, the Bible is not just a
• 55:03
  book of history. It's not just a book of
• 55:06
  archaeology. It's not just a book of
• 55:08
  literature. You can open the Bible, but it
• 55:14
  must be opened and the scroll must be unlocked.
• 55:18
  Just because your Bible is open does not mean you will see.
• 55:22
  It is your assignment to open the book.
• 55:24
  It is His assignment to unlock the scrolls.
• 55:27
  That is the only condition for your eyes to see.
• 55:31
  Hallelujah. Now the Lord is that Spirit, He
• 55:35
  says. And where the Spirit of the Lord
• 55:37
  is, there is liberty, liberty, liberty.
• 55:45
  Someone is a man of God here. Thank God for all the principles
• 55:49
  that make for excellence in ministry.
• 55:51
  Do not downplay them. But all of them stand limiting
• 55:56
  outside of the superior authority of the Holy Spirit.
• 56:02
  Hallelujah. Yes Sir, He came upon Mary and
• 56:07
  Jesus arrived. Even Elizabeth, the one who
• 56:10
  prophesied to Mary. The Bible talks about John who
• 56:14
  was filled with the Holy Spirit from his womb coming in the
• 56:18
  Spirit and the power of Elijah. Those of you in worship
• 56:24
  ministry, let me tell you the truth, no matter how
• 56:27
  artistically competent you are, the life giving factor in your
• 56:32
  singing is His presence and the power that comes from it.
• 56:37
  Those of you in business, don't submit a piece of paper called
• 56:41
  proposal, place His presence on it and submit them together.
• 56:45
  Places power on it and submit them together.
• 56:48
  You've been having bad reports returned to you because you've
• 56:51
  been submitting papers. Did your Bible not said the Lord
• 56:56
  walking with them, the Lord walking with them, the Lord
• 57:01
  walking with them, confirming the word with signs following
• 57:07
  Hallelujah. You ask me the one secret behind
• 57:11
  my life. I may not tell you that I have
• 57:16
  not studied. I'll be lying.
• 57:17
  I will not tell you that I'm not a student of history, but all of
• 57:21
  those things I count but Dong for the Excellency of my
• 57:24
  relationship with the Holy Spirit.
• 57:26
  It is the one secret. It is the one secret.
• 57:30
  Help two people who begin to run now coming out.
• 57:33
  They are lit by the Spirit. Please hold them so they don't
• 57:36
  injure themselves, but they are really literally going to run or
• 57:38
  help them. Help them just hold them so they
• 57:41
  don't enjoy themselves. This, this is a ministry of
• 57:43
  science and wonders. There's, there's nothing
• 57:45
  unscriptural what you are watching when the Holy Spirit is
• 57:49
  in a place. You see, the Bible says to be
• 57:52
  carnally minded is death, but to be spiritually minded is life
• 57:56
  and peace. Just like you were told to jump
• 57:58
  a few times. It does not make sense.
• 58:00
  God uses the foolish things you see.
• 58:03
  It may not make sense, but this is where yielding to the
• 58:06
  minister of the Holy Spirit comes.
• 58:09
  In fact, the Bible says the Spirit buried witness with our
• 58:13
  spirits. Hallelujah Again.
• 58:18
  Doctor Andy explained it so powerfully here with our spirit
• 58:23
  that we have become one. In theology, we call it the
• 58:26
  doctrine of interpenetration. It's the mystery by which two
• 58:30
  entities become one. That is what is Adambrated in
• 58:33
  marriage, where the man and the woman become one.
• 58:36
  In the Spirit they are still distinct individuals, but in the
• 58:40
  Spirit they have become one. He that is joined to Christ, the
• 58:46
  Bible says, is 1 spirit. My time is up.
• 58:50
  There are three things we're going to do very quickly within
• 58:52
  the time that I have. I want to respect the time #1 is
• 58:57
  that the Lord wants to activate something that has been locked
• 58:59
  up within your spirit. Within your spirit man, there is
• 59:05
  an investment of the Spirit that is about to rest upon you like a
• 59:09
  hen resting upon her eggs so that it will hatch and produce.
• 59:14
  That's what God wants to do Hallelujah, praise the name of
• 59:18
  the Lord. Did you know that the Holy
• 59:20
  Spirit is the creative dimension of the Godhead every time there
• 59:24
  is need for creation and the manifestation of the power of
• 59:27
  the Godhead? Gentleman, jump in, lift your
• 59:31
  hands. I just saw fire coming on you
• 59:33
  and the Lord is saying you are stepping into a new season in
• 59:36
  the Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ I decree and declare, Let
• 59:41
  it be unto you as the Lord has spoken by the power of the Holy
• 59:45
  Spirit in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 59:48
  Hallelujah. Genesis 1 and verse one.
• 59:52
  In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
• 59:56
  Verse 2 says now the earth was dark, it was void, it was
• 1:00:00
  formless is the Greek word tohuwabuhu.
• 1:00:03
  Confusion and chaos. Every time there was confusion
• 1:00:08
  as we see in the Bible, it was the Holy Spirit.
• 1:00:11
  The Spirit of God hover around the face of the waters.
• 1:00:16
  Don't discuss your confusion and tragedy and pain.
• 1:00:19
  Introduce Him to hover over it, because every time the Holy
• 1:00:22
  Ghost hovers over that unemployment over over that
• 1:00:27
  family issue, there is about to be creation.
• 1:00:30
  This is what the Bible teaches. Even God did not speak till He
• 1:00:34
  verified the presence of the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit
• 1:00:37
  was there, the Bible says, and God said so before you say,
• 1:00:42
  verify that he's there. It is the union of His presence
• 1:00:46
  and your skin that produces creation, not just your
• 1:00:49
  speaking. Your speaking will be empty and
• 1:00:52
  barring except the Holy Spirit leads away.
• 1:00:55
  Lift your hands in one minute and thank God for tonight.
• 1:00:58
  Someone is praying Eva Shalika Parouska Fredesca Bellicotos
• 1:01:05
  praying the Spirit. All the experience centers those
• 1:01:09
  following online. Go ahead and pray in the spirit.
• 1:01:13
  Hey Pasha kaparakos katapras kadesh K press katapaka tosh

  Kari paras kafas katapada katapa rata kaparatos katapakos.
• 1:01:27
  Take a minute or two and invest in your destiny as you pray in
• 1:01:31
  the Holy Ghost. It says, what be ye beloved,
• 1:01:34
  building of yourselves on your most holy faith.
• 1:01:38
  Praying in the Holy Ghost is someone praying in the Spirit.
• 1:01:43
  Pray, pray yourself in superior spiritual dimensions, dimensions
• 1:01:58
  of power, dimensions of grace, dimensions of light, dimensions
• 1:02:03
  of influence, and send Rams in the spirit.
• 1:02:06
  He said come up, hit her and I will show you the things that
• 1:02:10
  will happen afterwards. Please pray Hallelujah, praise
• 1:02:36
  the name of the Lord. Can I take a minute to speak
• 1:02:40
  over those who are trusting God? I know that I've been prayed
• 1:02:44
  for, but I just want to, generally speaking, speak over
• 1:02:47
  your life, whether it's infirmity or any situation at
• 1:02:51
  all that has mocked God in your life.
• 1:02:55
  You've taken the pain and the sorrow away.
• 1:03:00
  You've given me peace. Sunday night, there's no need to
• 1:03:06
  cry 'cause you're always with me.
• 1:03:40
  You've given me peace, undeniable.
• 1:03:50
  You're my Father. Let me pray for you.
• 1:03:57
  The Holy Spirit is that powerful.
• 1:04:01
  The Holy Spirit is that powerful, able to sponsor
• 1:04:05
  salvation even to the uttermost, able to bring healing to your
• 1:04:09
  body, able to rewrite the narrative of your life and your
• 1:04:15
  destiny. And here at this conference,
• 1:04:18
  we're trusting God to accent heights in the spirit, levels of
• 1:04:22
  grace, even by the Spirit, Zechariah said.
• 1:04:25
  It is not by might, it is not by power, but it is by the Spirit,
• 1:04:32
  by the Spirit, by the Spirit. Ezekiel chapter 2 from verse
• 1:04:37
  one, it says, Son of man, stand up upon your feet.
• 1:04:41
  And it did not have that power, that energy.
• 1:04:44
  Verse 2 says, And the Spirit entered me when he speak unto
• 1:04:49
  me, and set me upon my feet. In the name of Jesus, the Son of
• 1:04:53
  the living God, I decree and declare over every ministry here
• 1:04:58
  represented, every business here represented, every family here
• 1:05:03
  represented, and every challenge here represented by the power of
• 1:05:08
  the Holy Ghost. In the name of Jesus, find rest
• 1:05:12
  now, find rest now, find rest now, find rest now in the name
• 1:05:20
  of Jesus Christ. The Bible says in Genesis
• 1:05:25
  chapter 24 and verse 1, he says now Abraham was old and well
• 1:05:30
  stricken in age, he says, and the Lord had blessed him in all
• 1:05:35
  things, all things, all things, not some things.
• 1:05:41
  There was a man called Naman, the captain of the Syrian Army.
• 1:05:44
  The Bible says he was a valiant man in war, but he was leprous
• 1:05:50
  in the name of Jesus. Everything that is Antichrist,
• 1:05:55
  everything that is anti destiny roaming around your life.
• 1:05:59
  I stand under the corporate anointing in agreement with
• 1:06:02
  every servant of God here represented and we decree and
• 1:06:06
  declare, let it roll out of your life right now.
• 1:06:10
  Let it roll out of your life right now.
• 1:06:13
  Let it roll out of your life right now.
• 1:06:15
  Let it roll out of your life right now in the name of Jesus
• 1:06:19
  Christ. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, the
• 1:06:29
  Bible says in Revelation chapter 3, he says I am he that was dead
• 1:06:34
  and now he's alive, he said. And I hold the keys, the holder
• 1:06:39
  of the key of David. The key of David is a mysterious
• 1:06:43
  possibility in the Kingdom. He says I'm by that key.
• 1:06:47
  I open a door that no man can shut.
• 1:06:50
  Can I declare the opening of doors?
• 1:06:53
  Listen, a door is an authorized point of access.
• 1:06:58
  If someone comes into your house through the fence, he's in your
• 1:07:02
  house, but he's not welcome because your fence is not the
• 1:07:06
  authorized access point. Jesus said I am the door.
• 1:07:10
  That is how important doors are. But doors and gates can also be
• 1:07:14
  barriers. They limit access when they are
• 1:07:17
  closed. A door that is there is a
• 1:07:21
  potential for access. Doors, midwife realms, your
• 1:07:25
  kitchen, your living room, your bathroom.
• 1:07:28
  They are separated by walls and separated by doors.
• 1:07:32
  If you want to midwife or transit from one part of your
• 1:07:36
  house to the other, you don't walk through the wall, you walk
• 1:07:39
  through the door. But how many of you know that as
• 1:07:42
  as powerful as you are, you can misplace the key to your door
• 1:07:47
  and it can keep you outside for a long time?
• 1:07:50
  Can I declare the opening of doors in the name of Jesus, the
• 1:07:54
  Son of the living God? Every door, every gate before
• 1:07:58
  you that has remained closed, I speak to it now.
• 1:08:03
  A Fatah, be open. A Fatah be open carry out doors
• 1:08:09
  be open carry our doors be open family doors be open financial
• 1:08:16
  doors be open in the name of Jesus Christ, Son of man.
• 1:08:26
  Can this poems leave again? It says only down the West.
• 1:08:31
  It said prophecy to this poems, and tell them all bones share
• 1:08:35
  you the word of the Lord, that God will cause flesh and sinus
• 1:08:39
  to come upon you. But the flesh was there, but it
• 1:08:42
  was lifeless. It's a son of man.
• 1:08:44
  Call the four winds and say all wind breathe upon this lane, and
• 1:08:49
  they became an exceeding great army.
• 1:08:51
  I declare, let the wind of the Spirit blow upon everything dead
• 1:08:56
  in your life, blow upon everything dead in your life,
• 1:09:00
  blow upon dead finances, dead marriages, dead wombs, dead
• 1:09:06
  organs. Come back to life by the Spirit
• 1:09:10
  in the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah.
• 1:09:17
  For the sake of time, I made a request in the morning.
• 1:09:19
  We may not have the time to collate them, but please lift
• 1:09:22
  your prayer requests and your expectation cards.
• 1:09:25
  Can I speak over them please? If you have it, if it's in an E
• 1:09:29
  version, just lift your phone or just stand by faith.
• 1:09:32
  And for those who are connecting, distance is no
• 1:09:35
  barrier at all. All of the experience centers
• 1:09:38
  and then those who are connecting from across the
• 1:09:40
  globe, this is how powerful God is.
• 1:09:48
  Hallelujah. Pray in the Spirit.
• 1:09:50
  In one minute, a miracle is about to happen to you.
• 1:10:00
  Just do what I'm asking you to do.
• 1:10:03
  Philippians chapter 4 and verse 6 says be anxious for nothing.
• 1:10:07
  It says, but in everything by prayer and supplication with
• 1:10:11
  Thanksgiving. Let your request be made known.
• 1:10:14
  Don't assume that He knows. Let your request be made known.
• 1:10:23
  Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Now keep it lifted.
• 1:10:28
  Please help them. I'm about to pray for you and I
• 1:10:33
  please want you to believe. I want you to believe.
• 1:10:38
  I'm standing under the corporate anointing here and I want to
• 1:10:41
  speak over this Creator of the universe.
• 1:10:48
  What can you do? What can't you do, Jesus?
• 1:11:33
  Keep your hands lifted. Jesus told us that when the
• 1:11:37
  Spirit of God comes, He will testify of Him.
• 1:11:40
  He does not have any agenda on His own except to reveal Jesus,
• 1:11:44
  to reveal Him as the way, to reveal Him as the truth, and to
• 1:11:48
  reveal Him as life. Everywhere you see the Holy
• 1:11:51
  Spirit is assignment is to reveal Jesus in His entirety.
• 1:11:56
  I want to pray for you right now.
• 1:11:58
  Please believe. Believe in the name of Jesus.
• 1:12:01
  Take your mind away from the long standing issues and let
• 1:12:04
  your attention be on Jesus. In the name of Jesus Christ,
• 1:12:08
  shout aloud. Amen.
• 1:12:10
  In the name of Jesus Christ, I decree and declare by the power
• 1:12:19
  that raised Christ from the dead, that every prayer request,
• 1:12:24
  every expectation here lifted in the name of Jesus.
• 1:12:28
  We turn it to testimonies now, We turn it to testimonies now.
• 1:12:35
  We turn it to testimonies now. We turn it to testimonies now.
• 1:12:40
  We turn it to testimonies now. We turn it to testimonies now.
• 1:12:46
  In the name of Jesus Christ, Hear me for someone.
• 1:12:52
  Here is your prophetic word. You will not see wind, you will
• 1:12:55
  not see rain, yet your valley shall be filled with water.
• 1:12:59
  I decree it unto you. You will not see wind, you will
• 1:13:03
  not see rain, but your valley shall be filled with water.
• 1:13:09
  In the name of Jesus Christ, Hallelujah for another person.
• 1:13:17
  Here you will experience the mystery of Aaron's rod, that
• 1:13:21
  even though it is not connected to the earth, it was still
• 1:13:24
  bored. I decree and declare, you may
• 1:13:27
  not have any regular advantage, but may the Holy Ghost be your
• 1:13:31
  advantage in your office. May he be your advantage in
• 1:13:35
  Lagos, in Abuja, in Nigeria, in Europe, in America.
• 1:13:41
  May he be your advantage in the name of Jesus Christ.
• 1:13:48
  Hallelujah. The lifeless body of Jesus is
• 1:13:53
  lying in the tomb of Joseph of Arimathea.
• 1:13:57
  And my Bible says, if that same spirit that raised Christ from
• 1:14:04
  the dead, that if that same spirit resides, hold on.
• 1:14:08
  That means anywhere that dimension of the spirit is, it
• 1:14:11
  raises whatever it rests on, anything.
• 1:14:16
  If it rests on a body, it quickens the organs.
• 1:14:19
  If it rests on finances, it compels multiplication.
• 1:14:23
  If that same spirit, that spirit is a razor, it does not leave
• 1:14:27
  anything at the level it met it. If that same spirit I sense in
• 1:14:34
  my heart to declare over your finances, please listen to me
• 1:14:38
  and don't allow anybody lie to you.
• 1:14:40
  That is not important. No, there is a prophetic
• 1:14:44
  dimension to wealth. Wealth answers to value, it
• 1:14:47
  answers to productivity, it is true.
• 1:14:50
  But there is a dimension of wealth that comes by the
• 1:14:54
  prophetic. It says believe in the Lord your
• 1:14:58
  God, so shall you be established.
• 1:15:00
  Believe is prophets, so shall you prosper.
• 1:15:04
  The prophet said by this time tomorrow there was no economic
• 1:15:08
  manipulation that would turn Samaria to a place of abundance
• 1:15:12
  in 24 hours for the prophetic and that by the Spirit.
• 1:15:16
  Let me speak over someone's wilderness according to Isaiah
• 1:15:20
  32 and verse 15, it says until the Spirit is poured upon us
• 1:15:24
  from on high, and then the wilderness shall be counted for
• 1:15:27
  a fruitful vine, and a fruitful vine be counted for a forest.
• 1:15:31
  Everywhere there is drought, even financially.
• 1:15:35
  I command abundance now, abundance through the ministry
• 1:15:40
  of mercy, abundance through the gift of man in the name of Jesus
• 1:15:46
  Christ. And for someone lifting your
• 1:15:52
  request, I speak to you. This Egyptians you see today,
• 1:15:57
  you will see them no more forever.
• 1:16:00
  You will see them no more forever.
• 1:16:07
  In the name of Jesus. My final declaration over your
• 1:16:11
  life. Dead.
• 1:16:13
  Prayer lives dead what study lives dead.
• 1:16:18
  Passion and appetite for the things of God.
• 1:16:21
  It says that the fire upon the altar, it must burn day and
• 1:16:25
  night for some of you. You came for this conference.
• 1:16:30
  It's a renewal conference for you because your prayer life
• 1:16:33
  until you came here was dead or dying.
• 1:16:37
  Word, study life, dead or dying, passion for spiritual things,
• 1:16:41
  dead or dying, it doesn't matter what category.
• 1:16:45
  By the spirit of the living God, we find your prayer life back to
• 1:16:49
  flames. We find your word study life
• 1:16:52
  back to flames. We find your passion for God,
• 1:16:56
  for the things of God, for the House of God, back to flames in
• 1:17:00
  the name of Jesus Christ. Wave your hands to Jesus.
• 1:17:09
  Wave your hands to Jesus as an offering in faith, believing it
• 1:17:15
  says what things so ever ye believe.
• 1:17:17
  When ye pray, believe that thou receiveth them and thou shalt
• 1:17:22
  have them. Is someone saying thank you
• 1:17:25
  Jesus? Thank you for the healing, thank
• 1:17:28
  you for the new dimension, thank you for the flight in the
• 1:17:31
  Spirit, for in Jesus much less name, we have prayed.
• 1:17:37
  God bless you. Please put your hand down.
• 1:17:39
  Keep standing for one last minute on this final night.
• 1:17:42
  It's my honor to make one last time an altar call.
• 1:17:46
  I believe Jesus said this about himself.
• 1:17:50
  He said I am the way. That way leads you to reality,
• 1:17:54
  the truth, and finally administers life unto you.
• 1:17:58
  Listen to me. Please minimize movement.
• 1:18:01
  In every gathering such as this, there are always men and women
• 1:18:06
  sent by God. The Lord added daily to the
• 1:18:09
  church as many as should be saved.
• 1:18:13
  It is the will of God number one that all men be saved, and then
• 1:18:17
  #2 to come into the knowledge of the truth.
• 1:18:21
  Transformation is only a second experience.
• 1:18:23
  Salvation is the first experience in order of priority.
• 1:18:28
  Jesus is speaking to Nicodemus in John 3 and 16 and he says for
• 1:18:31
  God so loved the world that he gave his then one and only
• 1:18:35
  begotten Son. Now we know he's the first
• 1:18:38
  begotten among we the brethren. He says that anyone, whosoever
• 1:18:42
  that blessings for whosoever believeth on him should not
• 1:18:46
  perish, but have life eternal. Verse 17 says For God did not
• 1:18:50
  send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the
• 1:18:55
  world through him might be saved.
• 1:18:57
  Listen to me, Jesus can be a final resting place.
• 1:19:02
  From every burden, every pain you have trusted your life and
• 1:19:07
  your destiny to thinks of lesser power, lesser wolf, lesser value
• 1:19:11
  with no verification whether they love you or not.
• 1:19:14
  Give Jesus a chance. The Bible is a compendium of his
• 1:19:19
  integrity. It is true when he says I have
• 1:19:22
  loved you with an everlasting love and I have drawn you with
• 1:19:25
  my loving kindness. You can choose to reject Jesus,
• 1:19:30
  but I assure you by the Spirit of the living God that He's able
• 1:19:34
  to give you a new beginning, first spiritually and then by
• 1:19:37
  His Spirit to redirect the course of your life.
• 1:19:40
  Or perhaps you are here on ground, on sight or following
• 1:19:43
  online and you're saying, apostle.
• 1:19:45
  I remember I've made this call, but as it stands now, I cannot
• 1:19:49
  truly say that my Christian experience is rich enough to
• 1:19:53
  speak about. He's able to give you a new
• 1:19:56
  beginning. Hallelujah.
• 1:19:58
  Praise the name of the Lord. It says in the day that you hear
• 1:20:01
  his voice harden, not your heart.
• 1:20:03
  I'm going to make a final call for this session tonight,
• 1:20:07
  counting one to five. I'm only looking for one sincere
• 1:20:11
  person who is saying apostle. Sincerely, I want to make it
• 1:20:15
  right with Jesus. I know that He can give me a new
• 1:20:17
  beginning. My sins can be washed away.
• 1:20:20
  I can start afresh. I'm not ashamed of Jesus.
• 1:20:24
  Wherever you are, I want you to run and come and stand here.
• 1:20:28
  I begin my counting now. One, Let's celebrate them as
• 1:20:32
  they come. 2 Come, come, come. Where would I be?
• 1:20:50
  If you left me now? Where would I be?
• 1:20:57
  Come, come to Jesus, where would I be.
• 1:21:09
  Celebrate them as they come for you.
• 1:21:14
  Who waited. I'm about to pray, so if you are
• 1:21:32
  joining them, please make that fast.
• 1:21:34
  And for those falling online, all the experience centers, I
• 1:21:37
  believe that there might be someone, some officials who can
• 1:21:39
  guide you on what to do. Those who are falling online,
• 1:21:42
  here is your chance to make Jesus Lord of your life.
• 1:21:45
  Even if you're following by way of a rebroadcast, this is still
• 1:21:48
  an opportunity to make Jesus Lord of your life.
• 1:21:51
  It is never late to make Jesus Lord of your life.
• 1:21:55
  Hallelujah. The Bible says there is no other
• 1:21:58
  name on the heaven given unto men by which we must be saved.
• 1:22:01
  Those in front, I salute you for your courage.
• 1:22:04
  May I please request that you lift your right hand high above
• 1:22:07
  your head as a sign of surrender.
• 1:22:09
  Please say this after me. Say, Lord Jesus, tonight I have
• 1:22:13
  heard your word. I declare that I love you with
• 1:22:18
  all my heart. I receive Jesus into my heart as
• 1:22:25
  my Savior, my Lord and my King. I declare that the power of sin,
• 1:22:34
  Satan, hell and the grave is broken over my life from tonight
• 1:22:42
  and forever. I am a child of God.
• 1:22:45
  Amen. Keep your hands lifted Father.
• 1:22:47
  Thank you for these precious ones.
• 1:22:49
  The Bible says no man cometh to the Father except by Jesus.
• 1:22:55
  Lord, I thank you because you have drawn these ones to
• 1:22:57
  yourself. I declare by the authority of
• 1:22:59
  Scripture that your sins are forgiven and in the name of
• 1:23:03
  Jesus, the Son of the living God, you enjoy the life of God
• 1:23:07
  from tonight and even forever. May the Lord bless you.
• 1:23:11
  You go from glory to glory in Jesus matchless name.
• 1:23:15
  I pray, all right, there are councillors waving the placard.
• 1:23:20
  May I please request that all of you in concert, please follow
• 1:23:23
  the gentleman waving the placard and there will be a group of
• 1:23:26
  officials who will have a word with you.
• 1:23:28
  Let's celebrate them. Let's celebrate them.
• 1:23:32
  Elevation Church, thank you so much.
• 1:23:33
  I love you. May God bless you.
