0:54
Speaker 3: First session, our first our first session this evening.
1:11
Speaker 1: Since you are leaving, we have we have passed off
1:16
from amstup. You actually like to check what I is
1:17

Speaker 6: We have okay, I don't need to introduce him.
1:36
Speaker 3: We have a very powerful voice, Rolded.
1:40
Speaker 1: Now, we have a very a very powerful imagined voice
1:48
in this nation. A person listen, a person that I
1:55
can tell you will be around for a very long time.
2:01
Speaker 6: It's not a fly in the pan.
2:05
Speaker 1: What you're saying is not just a manifestation of a gift.
2:09
What you're saying is not where you could say that
2:12
it's a great but it's not just that you're seen
2:15
manifestation of wisdom. And when a person carries their gift
2:22
with wisdom, then you know that they will be here
2:26
for a very long time, all right. So back then
2:33
there's a saying we're so you know, let's call it
2:35
back then ministries that fly by night. But this is
2:38
this is going to be. There is a ministry that
2:40
is deeply rooted. A man who has deep respect for people.
2:49
The way and manner in which he treats people with humilities,
2:53
even when I was in the green room behind there
2:56
just apologizing to him about the fact that because there
2:59
was a speed over that there will be a delay.
3:02
The way he composed himself, you know, shows that he's
3:08
a man that is working in grace beyond his natural age.
3:16
Speaker 6: Let's welcome to the restaurant. I just forgot to say this.
3:40
Speaker 1: We sat it on Thursday and it really went very far.
3:44
Please just share your the YouTube videos or your worsapp
3:48
groups because it's very really father than last or time
3:52
we did it. I forgot to say it every day,
3:54
so please do that, all right, so that the message
3:57
riches every way.
3:58
Speaker 7: Show rich, God Less, Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord.
4:10
It's my joy to be here. Thank you, thank you, pastor,
4:16
thank you so very much for this opportunity whilst standing.
4:25
Just before we sit, I really want to celebrate with
4:27
pastor ten years of impact. And allelujah. He made a
4:36
statement just before I came up. Longevity is a product
4:41
of wisdom. Anything that lasts is because it is standing
4:46
upon wisdom.
4:47
Speaker 4: Allelujah. So sa we salute you.
4:49
Speaker 7: Thank you for the vision, thank you for your love
4:52

4:58
and for this session, can we lift our hands to
5:01
heaven and ask the Lord to speak to us. Go
5:04
ahead and pray. Let it be from the depth of
5:07
your heart. Speak to me, Speak to me, Speak to me.
5:16
Speaker 4: Who is lying.
5:18
Speaker 7: Him Lion and the lamb seated on the throne.
5:29
Speaker 4: Mountain, spou down every ocean, row to the King of Kings.
5:40
We will pray a door.
5:47
Speaker 5: From the rising after the sun to the end of
5:52
every day. Praise a all the nations of dear.
6:05
Speaker 4: Yes, we will pray a.
6:13
Speaker 5: From the rising after sird till the end of every day,
6:26
all the nations of dear. Speak to our hearts this
6:36
afternoon and cast your word.
6:43
Speaker 7: To lift us, to change us, to transform us. Let
6:47
us go from one dimension of glory even to the other.
6:52
In Jesus' name. We have prayed God bless you. Please
6:56
be seated. I'm teaching the afternoon on the Voice of God.
7:05
I want you to please pay attention because I believe that,
7:08
in addition to all that you have learned phenomenal speakers,
7:13
that this is one teaching that for many of us
7:18
will be an answer to age long prayers. For many
7:23
of us, this will bring perspective and confidence to your
7:28
walk with God. The Voice of God. P. Twenty nine.
7:33
Let's start from verse three some twenty nine. From verse three,
7:40
it says, the Voice of God is upon the waters,
7:45
the God of Glory thundereth. We're reading to nine. The
7:48
Lord is upon many waters.
7:51
Speaker 4: Verse four. The voice of the Lord is powerful.
7:55
Speaker 7: The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The
7:59
voice of the Lord break head the cedars. Yea, The
8:03
Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also
8:08
to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Syrion like a
8:12
young unicorn. The voice of the Lord divided the flames
8:16
of fire. The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness.
8:21
The Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The last verse,
8:25
the voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calf
8:29
and discovered the forest, and in his temple dot everyone speak.
8:35
Speaker 4: Of his glory.
8:37
Speaker 7: One more scripture, Isekel chapter forty three, from verse one
8:44
and two Isekiel forty three. Afterwards, he brought me to
8:50
the gate, even the gate that looked towards the east
8:54
verse two. And behold, the glory of the God of
8:59
Israel came from the way of the east. And his
9:03
voice was like the noise of many waters, and the
9:08
earth shined with his glory.
9:13
Speaker 4: The Bible is.
9:13
Speaker 7: Very clear as to the fact that the Kingdom life
9:17
was so designed that the advancement and the progress of
9:22
the believer largely principally depends on his ability to be
9:29
led of God of the Spirit. The faith life was
9:34
designed by God such that there is no possibility for
9:40
meaningful progress outside of the voice of God Allelujah. The
9:45
believer was designed to continually depend on the voice of
9:50
God for leadership and for direction. So even Jesus, when
9:56
he came in the flesh.
9:58
Speaker 4: He was very.
10:01
Speaker 7: Very vocal as to his need for the leadership of
10:04
the Spirit. The Bible would tell us that after his baptism,
10:08
the Spirit drove him into the wilderness to be tempted
10:13
of the devil. Then the Bible says he returned in the.
10:16
Speaker 4: Power of the Spirit. Hallelujah.
10:21
Speaker 7: Probably one of the greatest psalms that we know. Psalm
10:25
twenty three is a very profound sum of David because
10:31
it captures the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the
10:35
implication or the leadership of God. Generally speaking. He says,
10:39
let's look at it. The Lord is my shepherd. He says, I.
10:43
Speaker 4: Shall not want He makes me.
10:47
Speaker 7: Notice Now, this same Lord, being my shepherd, he makes me,
10:53
He leads me. Verse three, he restores, he leads me,
11:00
for he guides me. You see, so there is leadership,
11:04
there is guidance, there is making all by this great Shepherd.
11:10
Speaker 4: It therefore means.
11:11
Speaker 7: That if you do not understand the voice of God
11:16
and the nature of his leadership, you may be stunted
11:21
in a position spiritually, and it will affect every other
11:25
aspect of your life.
11:26
Speaker 4: Allelujah.
11:27
Speaker 7: There are many believers today who have not been able
11:31
to work in the fullness of their prophetic destinies, not
11:35
because of rebellion, but the inability to hear and to
11:40
understand the speakings of God. Understanding the communications of God.
11:50
Therefore is a very very important pursuit for any serious believer.
11:56
Speaker 4: Allelujah.
11:57
Speaker 7: In fact, the Bible tells us in Romance chapter eight
11:59
and fourteen that one of the seals of our sonship
12:04
is that we have the ability to be led. For
12:08
as many he says that are led by the spirit
12:12
of God, they are the sons of God. We still together,
12:18
there seems to be a great confusion as to the
12:22
concept of the voice of God. The average believer understands
12:26
the implication of being led by God, but it seems
12:30
that largely in the body of Christ, the serious confusion
12:34
Our lives and our results, or the lack of it,
12:37
clearly show that there is something about this subject that
12:42
has not been properly understood.
12:44
Speaker 4: Allelujah.
12:47
Speaker 7: And so I'm hoping that within the times that we'll
12:49
have to share, that God will grant us clarity and
12:52
understanding us to the concept of His voice. If you
12:56
believe that, least shout aloud, Amen, What exactly is the
13:01
voice of God? The Bible talks about the voice of God,
13:04
but what does it mean?
13:06
Speaker 4: Now? Please look up. The concept of voice.
13:11
Speaker 7: Is not limited to the speakings of God alone. This
13:15
is The first thing I want you to understand. The
13:17
Bible generically uses the expression voice, but then it is
13:22
not limited to the vocal communications or the speakings of God.
13:27
Are we together when we talk about the voice of God,
13:31
it represents you may write this down. If you're writing,
13:34
it represents all the spiritual channels and the pathways that
13:40
God uses to communicate his will and his intent. Let
13:44
me take it again that the concept of the voice
13:47
of God is not limited to the speakings of God alone,
13:52
but that it represents all the spiritual channels. The voice
13:58
of God represents all the spiritual channels and pathway uses
14:06
to communicate his will and intent. If you're writing, underline
14:11
the word spiritual channels. Under Line the word will and intent.
14:16
That is very important because the whole idea behind the
14:22
voice of God or the communications of God is to
14:26
make his will and his intent known.
14:29
Speaker 4: Please look up, Please look up.
14:32
Speaker 7: I need you to understand that the power of God,
14:35
which is responsible for all the possibilities we enjoy in.
14:38
Speaker 4: This kingdom, we together.
14:41
Speaker 7: The power of God is the principal sponsor for every
14:45
result that we enjoy in this kingdom. But the power
14:48
of God has jurisdictions for operation. It does not operate arbituarily.
14:54
The power of God was mandated by God to only
14:57
function within the jurisdiction of his will.
15:00
Speaker 4: And his intent.
15:02
Speaker 7: That means outside of the will and the power of God,
15:05
I mean the will and the intent of God. The
15:08
power of God does not have any assignment. The assignment
15:13
of the power of God is to make the will
15:16
and the intent of the Father come to pass.
15:20
Speaker 4: That means you.
15:22
Speaker 7: Only call for the attention of the power of God
15:25
to the degree to which you are consistent with the
15:28
will of God. It's important you understand this. The administration
15:34
of the power of God only functions and finds expression
15:40
within the jurisdiction of his will. It says, when you pray,
15:45
you pray that your kingdom come. How by your will
15:49
being done in earth as it is in heaven, are
15:51
we still together. That means if you cannot discern, perceive,
15:59
or receive the will and the intent of God, you
16:03
may never be able to experience the possibilities of God.
16:06
This is why the voice of God is so important,
16:09
because his power follows his voice.
16:16
Speaker 8: You are the one that we praise. You are the
16:23
one weird all. You give the healing and grace.
16:31
Speaker 4: There are always hunger for all solways. For are we
16:46
following so far?
16:48
Speaker 7: So we have established the fact that the concept of
16:51
the voice of God is not limited to his speakings,
16:56
his vocal communications alone, but that it holistic capture of
17:01
all the channels and the pathways that God uses to
17:06
communicate his will and his intent. Please say helf time me,
17:11
will saylf time me intent? One more time, say will
17:16
say intent. The entire scope of the dealings of God
17:20
with Man centers around these two words, his will and
17:25
his intent. The purpose of spiritual communication from God to
17:30
man is to make accessible to man the will and
17:35
the intent of God.
17:38
Speaker 4: Allelujah.
17:42
Speaker 7: So for this session would look at how God speaks,
17:46
how exactly.
17:47
Speaker 4: Does God speak?
17:49
Speaker 7: Because there are many believers who are at a loss
17:54
as to how God speaks or how God communicates. The
17:59
Bible reveals several channels that have been used by God
18:05
to communicate his will and his intent that we generically
18:09
call the voice of God. In fact, Hebrews chapter one
18:12
and verse one, it says God who in sundry times
18:17
and diverse manners speak. Take notes of that diverse manners speak,
18:25
God who in sundry times and divers manners. Speak in
18:30
time past to the fathers by the prophets, have in
18:33
these last days spoken to us. So you see different channels,
18:38
sundry times, diverse manners he speak now, He has spoken
18:42
to us through his son. So there are many channels
18:49
for spiritual communication. I'm not discussing them, but let me
18:52
just list a few of them for your knowledge. Number One,
18:56
the Bible teaches that the primary channel for God's communication
19:01
as far as his intent is concerned, is the Holy Scripture.
19:05
Please write so the Scripture is the principal channel. It
19:10
is amazing that the scripture that we have represents the
19:15
voice of God.
19:19
Speaker 4: Are we together? And that from a child thou hast known.
19:23
Speaker 7: The Holy Scripture which is able to make you wise
19:27
onto salvation, it says the Holy Scripture.
19:32
Speaker 4: Number two, Dreams.
19:34
Speaker 7: Visions, and supernatural encounters. The Bible is very clear as
19:39
to the fact that God uses dreams, visions, and supernatural
19:46
encounters to communicate his intent. We see this scattered from
19:49
Genesis to Revelation. Whether it is for Abraham, whether it
19:54
is for Joseph the Father, the earthly Father of Jesus hallelujah,
19:58
whether it is for Pharaoh revealing that seven years would
20:02
come with plenty and seven years would come with famine.
20:07
All of these prophetic encounters, dreams, visions, supernatural encounters. Number three,
20:14
the prophetic now proper the prophetic, I think that should
20:19
be Hosea, Chapter twelve and verse ten. I hope I'm
20:22
right on that. It says I have spoken to you
20:26
by the prophets. So God speaks by the prophets. The
20:30
prophetic is a channel for his communication. Is someone learning
20:34
now I have multiplied visions, he says, let's finish the scripture.
20:39
I have used similitudes even by the ministry of the prophets.
20:44
Speaker 4: Number four.
20:46
Speaker 7: Another channel for spiritual communication is called the knowing or
20:50
the weakness of the spirit. Fathers of faith who have
20:54
joined the Cloud of witnesses, like Papa Hagen, would talk a.
20:57
Speaker 4: Lot about the knowing of the spirit.
21:00
Speaker 7: The Bible says, the spirit itself bears weakness with our spirit.
21:04
Speaker 4: That we are the sons or the children of God.
21:07
Speaker 7: There is a knowing the spirit can bear weakness with
21:11
your spirit.
21:12
Speaker 4: Hallelujah.
21:13
Speaker 7: There are many other channels, but at least this one
21:17
is just to be able to guide our understanding, to
21:19
see that when we are talking about the voice of God.
21:22
Speaker 4: I repeat again that the.
21:24
Speaker 7: Voice of God is not limited to the vocabulary communications
21:29
of God. Like we know, our concept of voice means
21:33
sound that comes from the lips or the mouth of
21:36
a man. But I'm telling you now that in dealing
21:39
with spiritual communications, the most important thing is the transference
21:45
of His will and His intent to the believer. That means,
21:48
at the end of whatever you call hear in God,
21:51
if the will and the intent of God does not
21:54
get to you, it's not God that you heard. It
21:58
doesn't matter how spirit it doesn't matter how flamboyant. We
22:03
can vet your hearing God, not by the accuracy of
22:06
what you think, not by the charismatism that happened. Remember
22:11
there can be sound and rare, but then the voice
22:14
may not be there. The proof of accurate hearing is
22:23
that we see that your life evolves into the will
22:27
and the intent of God with exactitude and precision. Are
22:32
we together? So how does God speak? What is the
22:39
language of God? Does He have a language? Allelujah? While
22:48
while I was in the green room, I was enjoying
22:51
the praise and the worship, except that for largely for it,
22:55
I really didn't understand what you know from a culture
23:00
our standpoint. Now, I was enjoying it, of course, but
23:03
I didn't know the meaning of the words, because for instance,
23:06
I'm not Eoroba by earthly you know my earthly connection.
23:11
Speaker 4: Now, so there are languages.
23:13
Speaker 7: If I speak something in Eoruba, now I expect most
23:16
of all.
23:16
Speaker 4: Uruba people to be able to respond. Is that true?
23:19
So what is the language of God?
23:22
Speaker 7: If we are talking about the communications of God? Does
23:25
he speak Greek? Does he speak Hebrew? Does he speak English?
23:32
What is the language of God? You will test what
23:38
you are hearing now against many things you have been
23:41
calling God said. So you said you had God? What
23:47
exactly did you hear? You should have the confidence to
23:52
answer this question. What did you hear? For someone who
23:58
will say God told me, I think it's time to
24:01
move left. So does God speak English? Does God speak French?
24:07
It is amazing that every nation he has God. So
24:10
what exactly does he tell them? Please pay attention now
24:16
are we together the language of God? It's not Greek,
24:23
it's not Hebrew, it's not English, it's not Uruba. In fact,
24:29
the Bible tells us Paul was speaking in verse Krinthians
24:32
that in verse one that there are the language or
24:35
tongues of men and tongues of angels. So we know
24:38
that there are languages even in the realm of the spirit.
24:41
But I guarantee you by the integrity of scripture that
24:44
none of these is the language of God. It does
24:48
not mean that He cannot communicate through these channels.
24:51
Speaker 4: But that is not the language of God.
24:53
Speaker 7: The language of God is not vocabulary. The language of
24:59
God is light. Please write it down. The language of
25:07
God is light. First John, chapter one and verse five
25:11
already tells us that God himself is light. This is
25:16
the message he says, which we have heard of him,
25:19
and declare unto you that God is light. Not God
25:25
has light. God is light, and in him there is
25:30
no darkness at all. If it is true that He
25:34
is light, then everything that emanates from him must be light.
25:38
Speaker 4: Are we together?
25:40
Speaker 7: Some one one nine, verse one three zero some one
25:44
one nine?
25:44
Speaker 4: Are we still together? Please? The Bible says, the entrance
25:48
of thy word, give it what.
25:51
Speaker 7: It didn't say it give it information, the entrance of
25:56
thy world. Just follow me carefully, the entrance of thy word,
26:00
give it light. Then there is another kind of giving again.
26:05
It now gives understanding, but leave the issue of understanding.
26:10
Speaker 4: The first thing it gives is light.
26:14
Speaker 7: That means, once that light does not arrive, there is
26:18
no possibility of understanding the entrance of thy word give
26:23
it light? Is someone learning Matthew Chapter seventeen and verse five.
26:36
The language of God is light. The Bible says this
26:40
was at the Transfiguration, that while he yet speak, behold
26:45
a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold a voice out
26:50
of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved son,
26:55
in whom I am well pleased. Then he says, here,
27:00
ye him. My question is where they're not listening? So
27:04
what did he mean by hear him?
27:07
Speaker 4: You would hear?
27:08
Speaker 7: The Bible say again and again that he that had
27:11
an ear.
27:12
Speaker 4: Now, remember he.
27:13
Speaker 7: Was talking to people who were created in God's image.
27:15
So what kind of ear is this, that he that
27:18
had an ear let him hear? What the spirit saith
27:21
to the churches?
27:22
Speaker 4: Are we together?
27:24
Speaker 7: I want to explain to you something very powerful now,
27:27
and I'm praying the name of Jesus, the Son of
27:29
the Living God, that your spirit will be alive to receive.
27:33
I stand by the integrity of the Lord to tell
27:36
you this. If you understand what I'm teaching you now
27:39
it will shift the climate of your spiritual experience to
27:43
new dimensions and to new horizons.
27:46
Speaker 4: Are we together? I have established the fact that the
27:50
goal of the speakings of God.
27:52
Speaker 7: Listen carefully is not just to supply information, but to
27:57
supply His intent and his Is it possible to have
28:01
two gentlemen, please?
28:03
Speaker 4: Any two gentlemen? Please come? Thank you?
28:07
Speaker 7: Just stand here, everyone please watch you stand here, sir,
28:12
You stand here, sir, face me. Now, all of you
28:16
watch this. Anything I asked you to do, I want
28:21
you to try to do it.
28:22
Speaker 4: Decipher whatever you think I'm saying.
28:24
Speaker 7: Are we following? Oh, dear, I'm not. What did I
28:34
say so that should come? What did I say?
28:37
Speaker 4: You asked me to move forward?
28:43
Speaker 7: From a vocal standpoint? This one interpreted what I said
28:47
as what come? This one interpreted what I said as
28:50
what But both of them got the intent of my communication.
28:57
Speaker 4: Are you seeing that? Now? Go back again?
29:01
Speaker 9: Watch this? What did I say? He said come forward
29:10
and go left? What did I say?
29:13
Speaker 4: Come again? Spread out? Look at this.
29:16
Speaker 7: So now, if this is the only mentor you have
29:20
to lend the speakings of God, you are already in
29:23
trouble because you are limited to his vocal expression or
29:29
his perception of the intents of God.
29:32
Speaker 4: Are we together?
29:33
Speaker 3: Now?
29:33
Speaker 4: Sit down? Sit down, Sit down, sit down. Let's brain
29:38
the spirit for one minute.
29:40
Speaker 7: Shabbah lacos sap brand de gabel legos here scap brend
29:47
de gabel legoto siatar bando satar. Someone is rising in
29:53
the spirit following from across the nations of the earth.
29:57
Light is coming for you now, luciata, years of confusion
30:05
be mystified in the presence of God.
30:14
Speaker 4: Allelujah. Now watch this.
30:19
Speaker 7: So back to our example, this gentleman, based on his
30:25
perception of what I.
30:27
Speaker 4: Said, he said, come.
30:30
Speaker 7: So if it's to write a book to document this event,
30:34
he will say, and God.
30:35
Speaker 4: Said, come. When you now read.
30:39
Speaker 7: This one, he will say, and God said, step forward.
30:43
You now see why there's the synoptic gospel.
30:47
Speaker 4: Matthew, Mark Luke and John all An.
30:51
Speaker 7: Attempt to capture the speakings of God from listen, listen
31:00
to me.
31:01
Speaker 4: This is very powerful.
31:03
Speaker 7: Both of them are right, except that it is a
31:06
risk to absolutely depend on your perception to understand God.
31:13
The most important thing is not their linguistic progress or
31:18
their vocal ability that can help. But I am satisfied
31:23
working with any of them, big tent, and my will
31:29
was successfully transferred.
31:32
Speaker 4: Are we together?
31:33
Speaker 7: When you study communication now, in English or mass communication,
31:37
they teach you that the goal of speaking, whether it's
31:40
a verbal or nonverbal communication, that the goal is to
31:43
transfer the thoughts of the speaker to the audience or
31:47
the listener the final recipient. Am I right on that?
31:51
So sometimes you may need to use the power of imagery.
31:54
Sometimes you may need to use linguistic communication progress, sometimes
31:59
you may need to use your hands, Like for people
32:01
who are deaf and dumb. How do you tell those
32:03
who are deaf and dumb that while you are laughing,
32:05
they're laughing too? What did they understand by what you said?
32:09
Because while you are laughing they are also laughing. They
32:12
are not at a loss at all as far as
32:14
communicating your.
32:15
Speaker 4: Intent is concerned. It then means listen.
32:21
Speaker 7: Carefully that the language of God cannot be what this
32:26
man said. It cannot be what this man said, although
32:31
everything they said captured his will.
32:36
Speaker 4: Are we together? Thank you, gentlemen. So I said that
32:44
the language of God is light.
32:48
Speaker 7: But let me explain very quickly, what is the dynamics
32:51
of spiritual communication. How does that light become understanding to
32:56
the believer. For you to understand this, you need to
33:00
understandard spiritual composition.
33:02
Speaker 4: The design of man.
33:04
Speaker 7: The Bible very clearly tells us that man is spirit.
33:08
Man does not have a spirit. Man is spirit because
33:11
God is Spirit. Are we together? And that that spirit
33:15
is hosted in a body, and that body and that
33:23
spirit are incompatible because of the rems that they come from.
33:28
Speaker 4: The spirit is from above. This body was made from
33:31
the doctors, so there is no system of compatibility. Are
33:35
we together? Now?
33:36
Speaker 7: The mind comes that sonical component made up of the will,
33:41
the emotions, the intellect. That is what creates the bridge
33:45
between the spirit and the body.
33:47
Speaker 4: The body is an instrument of execution. Are we together? Now?
33:51
That means that which the.
33:52
Speaker 7: Spirit desires, through the faculties of the mind, you are
33:57
able to execute it.
33:59
Speaker 6: This is.
34:02
Speaker 7: So God communicates his intent captured in his light. Please listen,
34:07
let me explain to you now that light is received
34:11
by your spirit man. Your spirit man would have received
34:15
that light, but you see, it cannot be profitable to
34:20
you because at that realm as light, it cannot minister
34:24
to your mind and your body. There still has to
34:27
be a technology of conversion so that understanding can come.
34:32
It is at the point of understanding that faith can
34:35
be engaged. Is someone following Now, there are times that
34:40
you know your spirit has received something from God.
34:43
Speaker 4: You know by the weakness of the spirit.
34:46
Speaker 7: And it cannot profit you because you don't even know
34:49
what to obey. You just know that in the place
34:51
of prayer, your spirit has received something. All the components
34:55
that accompany the speakings of.
34:57
Speaker 4: God are their joy peace. I know that I've.
35:00
Speaker 7: Received something, but what exactly have I received? There must
35:06
be a system of conversion. Now watch this. This is
35:11
where your mind comes in in the body of Christ.
35:16
We have taught people how to grow their spirits, but
35:19
we have ignored the place of the mind. We have
35:22
ignored the fact that the mind has a vital role
35:26
to play in interpreting the speakings of God. Now you
35:30
are about to see the role play that as robots
35:34
as your spirit man is receiving the lights that comes
35:38
from the communications of God will not give you the
35:41
basis to manifest faith properly if there is something wrong
35:45
with your mind. The mind consists of the will, the emotions,
35:53
and the intellect.
35:55
Speaker 4: Now watch this.
35:57
Speaker 7: Your mind, through learning here and through environmental conditioning, has
36:05
associated certain words an expression with certain feelings. Let me
36:10
explain to you what I mean that, through learning, going
36:14
to school, any kind of education at all, and through
36:17
your environmental conditioning, you have associated certain words.
36:23
Speaker 4: Are we together now?
36:25
Speaker 7: Certain vocabulary expressions to certain feelings.
36:28
Speaker 4: For instance, if I say ball.
36:31
Speaker 7: You can't think banana because you have associated that object.
36:35
Speaker 4: Are we together? Now? This is powerful.
36:39
Speaker 7: That means the healthier your mind is, the more it
36:43
can create the vocabulary expressions that interpret the light.
36:47
Speaker 4: You have received. Are we together? Now? Listen? If you
36:51
understand this, you will.
36:52
Speaker 7: Know what apple respectfully speaking to the fathers of all.
36:56
They receive many things from God, but because they not transformation,
37:01
they were not able to interpret the speakings of God
37:04
with accuracy. So their prophetic actions came with.
37:08
Speaker 4: A pleantorah of error.
37:09
Speaker 7: There was no purity in their interpretation because they ignored
37:13
the place of transformation. And it's a mistake that many
37:19
spiritual people are making their feel it is in.
37:23
Speaker 4: Contact with God through prayer.
37:25
Speaker 7: They ignore the role that the play in accurately interpreting
37:31
the speakings of God. I always wondered why Jesus the
37:34
word incarnate when he came in the flesh at age twelve.
37:38
Speaker 4: The Bible tells us that he was in the temple.
37:40
Speaker 7: Is that in your Bible learning under the Pharisees and
37:44
the scribes?
37:45
Speaker 4: Why would the world be learning again? No wonder? When
37:49
Satan came, he said, it is.
37:56
Speaker 10: HM.
38:03
Speaker 7: The assignment of your mind therefore is to give the
38:07
light of God for expressions so that understanding can be established.
38:14
Speaker 4: Let me take it again.
38:16
Speaker 7: The assignment of your mind with respect to the speakings
38:19
of God is to give the light of God that you.
38:24
Speaker 4: Have received in your spirit for.
38:26
Speaker 7: Tabulary expressions, so that understanding can be established.
38:33
Speaker 4: In if you accept five, I believe Verse.
38:35
Speaker 7: Sixteen, the Bible tells us we can understand.
38:38
Speaker 4: The will of God. Did I get that seventeen? Be not?
38:43
Speaker 7: Therefore, on wiseboard understanding what the will of God is.
38:47
There is no basis for manifesting faith until and unless
38:51
there is understanding. If you do not understand the instruction
38:55
I gave you, how can you obey? Because faith, in
38:58
one word, is obedience any other thing that is captured
39:03
in your fake equation. If obedience is missing, you did
39:06
not manifest Bible faith if it be dow bid me come.
39:10
He only came because he understood what was said. Like
39:13
my example with the gentleman, remember you say that your
39:16
obedience was almost effortless because your understanding was fruitful. That
39:22
means what men I. The laxity in obedience is not
39:26
necessarily rebellion on your own part, is that you do
39:29
not even understand what God is saying. Hallelujah, yes hal
39:39
Sir Brandakpole's theater. The assignment of your mind is to
39:44
give the light of God that captures his will and
39:48
his intent to give it vocabulary expressions. Now watch this
39:54
from the example I gave the gentleman, based on their
39:58
level of intellectual exports, are we together? There are levels
40:02
of orientation that was what was responsible for interpreting.
40:07
Speaker 4: What I said.
40:09
Speaker 7: So if this gentleman is more enlightened than this one,
40:13
chances are excellent that his interpretation will be a lot
40:16
more intellectual and meticulous because he has an array of options.
40:22
You will now know why the Bible says to be transformed,
40:26
because your transformation puts you in a position where you
40:30
have an array of scriptural options to accurately interpret that
40:35
light you receive from your spirit. I presume that everyone
40:40
here has a phone. This is the same technology that
40:45
is used. Watch this now, how many of you remember
40:49
a phone called what they call it tatty three ten?
40:53
Come on, taty three ten? Have you forgotten so early?
40:58
Are we together?
40:59
Speaker 4: Now? Watch this?
41:01
Speaker 7: And then many of you know the concept of MMS?
41:04
Is that true? There are times when I may want
41:07
to send you and MMS, maybe a picture saying I
41:12
love you, God bless you, and it is.
41:14
Speaker 4: Captured in pictorial form.
41:16
Speaker 7: Is that true? I can send it to you? Now
41:19
watch this. The goal is for you to know that
41:22
I care. Don't forget the moment I pressend, does it
41:27
leave as a flower?
41:29
Speaker 4: No? It leaves us what waves?
41:33
Speaker 7: Notice that you are not interested in the waves.
41:37
Speaker 4: You are interested in.
41:39
Speaker 7: Capturing the intent that flower to give you a feeling
41:42
of being loved and accepted. But it comes to your
41:45
phone now. Notice it will now depend on the configuration
41:51
of your phone for the accuracy of its interpretation. By
41:56
the time those waves come into your phone, the quality
42:01
of your phone can misrepresent what I send.
42:05
Speaker 4: Is someone learning? Now?
42:08
Speaker 7: The phone will do its best to use whatever tools
42:12
are within it's rich to interpret what it thinks I send.
42:17
And there are times you will be offended over something
42:19
that should bless you. Could that be what has been
42:23
your situation with God? That there are many times God
42:26
is saying, listen, the direction is left, but because of
42:29
the absence of transformation, you.
42:31
Speaker 4: Hear something else.
42:36
Speaker 7: When you upgrade that phone to a better phone, you
42:41
will be surprised that you now see that mms. Oh,
42:47
this is what you wanted to say. Now you can
42:49
respond with joy. So the Bible says Philippian chapter two,
42:53
from verse five, it says, let this mind be in you,
42:57
which was also in Christ Jesus. There was already a construct,
43:03
an intelligent word based construct that even though Jesus was
43:08
the word internet, he paid the price to equip his
43:12
mind with the requissigned vocabulary that interprets the speakings of
43:16
God with accuracy and pauly saying let this mind be
43:21
in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Someone can sleep,
43:29
and there's what people call sleep talking, you know that
43:32
where people just say a lot of nonsense while they're sleeping,
43:35
and if they wake up they can deny it. Now,
43:39
chances are excellent that if someone is shouting and talking about,
43:42
say a masquerade, or something.
43:45
Speaker 4: Someone who lives maybe somewhere in the US, was never
43:48
seen a masquerade.
43:49
Speaker 7: Chances are excellent in his sleep talking, he may never
43:53
mention the word masquerade because it's not captured within the
43:57
frame of his understanding.
44:00
Speaker 4: Are we together now? Believe us? Please hear me?
44:03
Speaker 7: For as long as we ignore the supremacy of the world,
44:08
for as long as we do not contend for transformation,
44:12
there will be gaps in our perceiving the will of God.
44:16
As far as spiritual communication is concerned, the more you
44:21
immerse yourself in the world, the more you are giving
44:24
your mind held these scriptural tools which wish to interpret
44:29
the speakings the light of God. So many believers assume
44:44
this is one of the reasons why I get concerned
44:49
when people who do not respect the world claim the
44:51
are hearing God, and even claim you're hearing for others
44:55
the imagine of error. I will not trust that hearing.
45:00
Do you know why now I'm saying this is this
45:02
is an opinion that is based on scripture. I will
45:05
not trust that hearing because the word of God is
45:08
not the basis of your vocabulary composition. Chances are excellent
45:13
that there will be gaps in your interpretation is the
45:16
reason why, respectfully speaking, the prophetic has both blessed and
45:21
cut people because the light comes in the place of prayer.
45:25
But because there is no actrequate transformation, the interpretation of
45:30
the speakings of God end up deviating people from the
45:33
ways of God.
45:39
Speaker 4: Listen carefully.
45:41
Speaker 7: I believe in the prophetic, but let me tell you
45:44
our generation, and I'm speaking prophetically to the body of Christ,
45:48
especially those who are called into the apostolic and the
45:52
prophetic ministry. Press into the dimension of prayer will expose
45:57
us to the realm of the spirit. And like you'll
45:59
be learning in myself subsequent sessions, there are.
46:01
Speaker 4: Many voices, Paul said.
46:03
Speaker 7: There is, as it were, many voices, and none of
46:06
them is without signification. So we need to verify word.
46:10
What you heard is God, and we can verify just
46:13
by the pleasantness of what you heard. We first need
46:17
to vet the word component that was resident in your
46:20
mind as at the time you heard. Because Satan can
46:27
appear as an angel of light. Listen, we are living
46:32
in very perilous times where there.
46:35
Speaker 4: Is a heightened.
46:36
Speaker 7: Need for discernment, and discernment is not by superstition. Discernment
46:41
happens at the instance of your stability through the world.
46:45
Speaker 4: You are grounded through the world, and on.
46:47
Speaker 7: The basis of that stability, you can decipher by the
46:51
character of.
46:52
Speaker 4: Scripture what is of God and what is not.
46:55
Speaker 7: For the Bible says the Spirit speaking expressly that in
46:59
the latter time shall depart from the faith, and they
47:02
shall give it to seducing spirit. And the doctrine of demons.
47:07
The character of said doction is that you must desire
47:11
what it is bringing for it to be called said doction.
47:17
There are many people who went to the place of
47:19
prayer and return back with speakings that were not of God.
47:24
Speaker 4: When you judge it from.
47:25
Speaker 7: The lens of the authority of Scripture, it is found
47:28
one thing.
47:30
Speaker 4: And they two steps based.
47:32
Speaker 7: On their interpretations of what they felt God was saying.
47:36
Speaker 4: And the result that we see is not the glory
47:39
of God.
47:44
Speaker 11: And we will never sayttle less we know there's more
47:53
that's family you.
47:57
Speaker 7: And we will have serfuss.
48:03
Speaker 4: When we know they're small as valid.
48:10
Speaker 11: And I will neverver serrifus.
48:17
Speaker 4: I know there's small as value. I've studied a bit.
48:27
Speaker 7: On the history of the church in Nigeria. I'm a
48:29
student of history, and I'm a student of revivals. The
48:34
reason is because I desire, by the grace of God,
48:38
like Pastor so graciously prayed and said, and I'm so
48:41
grateful for that that compliments are. We intend to last
48:45
and stay for a long time. So the goal is
48:49
to find out the ingredients that sponsor longevity. And the
48:53
way you do it is by following some them who,
48:57
to faith and patience have obtained There are people who
49:00
ran this race when others were laughing at them, ignoring
49:03
the world. They stayed on the stability of scripture. And
49:07
when the dos settled, like the house that was built
49:10
on the rock, most of them are standing today.
49:16
Speaker 4: Please hear me, whether you are called.
49:18
Speaker 7: Into the apostolic, the prophetic, evangelical, the pastoral, if you
49:23
do not contend for transformation, I guarantee you you are
49:27
at the risk of aborting longevity, whether in life and ministry.
49:32
Speaker 4: Gifts will come and go.
49:34
Speaker 7: Celebrity ministry will come and go.
49:37
Speaker 4: What will keep you?
49:38
Speaker 7: The Bible says, the rains came, the floods came, all
49:42
kinds of things came, But it was the house that
49:46
was built. Both houses were built. The problem is not
49:49
the building. The problem is what it is built on.
49:56
Hear me, if I never heard the voice of God
50:00
in my spirit, and I can respect the authority of
50:03
the world of God, it is accurate enough to lead
50:06
me with precision, prophetic precision. I'm not down plaining gifts.
50:14
Listen carefully, the Bible says to convert Ennestley. But I
50:18
can tell you every other gift has not been tried.
50:21
But the word of God has been tried seven times.
50:24
In fact, the Bible calls it the mar shure word
50:28
of prophecy. I respect your administering spiritual gifts to the
50:33
degree to which you respect.
50:35
Speaker 4: Your authority of scripture. Ali Shai capranda capo theater.
50:45
Speaker 7: I'm saying this respectfully, especially for younger ministers that are
50:49
coming up. The deception of gifts. Can it can abort
50:54
a great destiny? Overnight set to with the world, obtain
50:58
grace from God to do with the world.
51:01
Speaker 4: Let the world dwell in you richly, says.
51:07
Speaker 7: The degree to which the world of God has dwelt
51:10
in you richly in fact, and Chapter twenty on Statitude says,
51:15
and now I commend you to God. Paul was speaking,
51:19
and to the word of his grace. He says, which
51:22
is able to build you up and to give you
51:25
an inheritance. Among them that are sanctified efficients for eighteen
51:33
says having their understanding darkened, It says, been alienated from
51:37
the life of God through the ignorance that is in
51:40
them because of the blindness of their minds.
51:48
Speaker 4: Is someone learning. So the voice of God.
51:56
Speaker 7: Represents every spiritual channel that God is able to use
52:02
to communicate his will and his intent. The most important
52:07
component in the voice of God is not the speakings
52:11
of God, but the safe transference of his intent from
52:15
his heart.
52:16
Speaker 4: To your heart.
52:17
Speaker 7: If that arrives safely, all the channels that midwife that
52:22
process are only enhanced by the health of your mind.
52:30
No matter how much you claim to hear God, if
52:35
we do not see His will being done as you
52:38
obey what you perceive that you heard, we have a
52:42
right from the authority of Scripture to vet it. Are
52:48
we together the voice of God will always birth the
52:53
will of God. I started by telling you that the
52:56
power of God is principally responsible for the manifest station
53:00
of all the possibilities that we find in the life
53:03
of the believer, but that the power of God is
53:05
jurisdictional in its operation. The jurisdiction of the power of
53:10
God is the will of God. The power of God
53:12
is not mandated to function outside the will of God.
53:16
And if ever it functions outside of the will of God,
53:19
is to bring that person or that situation into the
53:23
will of God. The end of the administration of the
53:28
power of God, the end of the speakings of God,
53:32
is that the will of God.
53:33
Speaker 4: Be establishing the life of the believer.
53:37
Speaker 7: If we're together, say amen, We need to return back
53:44
from this session and begin to pay a.
53:49
Speaker 4: Healthy respect for the word of God.
53:54
Speaker 7: It is important that we respect the word of God,
53:57
especially respectfully speaking for those of us who labor us
54:00
in the vineyard. We must love and appreciate the ministry
54:03
of the world beyond preaching. I found your word and
54:09
I did eat it, and it was a joy and rejoicing.
54:16
Speaker 4: Possible.
54:16
Speaker 7: I've been trying to hear God while you are waiting.
54:19
Let the world dwell in you, so that when he speaks,
54:22
your interpretation will not retrogress.
54:26
Speaker 4: It will not.
54:26
Speaker 7: Retrogress you again because of poor hearing. Hearing that does
54:34
not come through a transformed mind will carry a side
54:38
effect of error.
54:40
Speaker 4: Even if it was God that spoke.
54:43
Speaker 7: Because one of the ways I did a teach you
54:47
one time knowing God as we prepare to pray.
54:50
Speaker 4: One of the ways, there.
54:52
Speaker 7: Are four ways, according to Scripture, that we know God.
54:56
Speaker 4: Number one is too scripture. Scripture. It's elf.
55:04
Speaker 7: Scripture reveals the character of God, so that by the
55:07
study of scripture we are able to learn how God
55:10
operates the modus operandi of the Kingdom. The second way
55:15
that we learn God, as revealed in the Bible, are
55:17
through his names. The names of God are a capture
55:20
of the various dimensions that are contained in God, that as.
55:24
Speaker 4: We learn his names, we also learn him.
55:27
Speaker 7: Number three we learn God by studying Jesus. The Bible
55:31
calls him the express image of the invisible God.
55:35
Speaker 4: So as we study.
55:36
Speaker 7: Jesus, we have a right to vet everything the prophet
55:40
said using the reference of Jesus. That means everything they
55:46
attributed to God. If we did not see it in
55:49
the life of Jesus. We have a scriptural basis to
55:52
say the way in error or it was a human limitation.
55:55
For instance, when the Bible says a lying spirit came
55:59
out from God, remember that scripture. Yes, now we do
56:03
not see that there is any darkness in Jesus, full
56:08
of grace and truth. That is the character of the
56:12
Christ that was revealed. That means we have a right
56:14
to say either the interpreters were wrong or the prophet
56:18
who received that word was limited. And you are not
56:20
in error using the reference of Jesus. And the last
56:25
and final way we learn God, according to.
56:27
Speaker 4: Scripture, is through experience.
56:29
Speaker 7: Job said, I have heard of thee with the hearing
56:31
of the ear, but now my eyes see it thee.
56:38
Speaker 4: Ali salika brandakabaria.
56:41
Speaker 7: You can imagine how powerful it is to come and
56:43
sit in a conference like this and in a moment,
56:45
light enters your spirit.
56:47
Speaker 4: For some of you by reason of what you have received.
56:49
Speaker 7: Now, in addition to all that you have heard, you
56:52
will know how to reject the speakings of Satan, because
56:56
you see, for our focus is on getting God to speak,
57:01
not necessarily building capacity to interpret his speakings. And since
57:05
your passion is to get God to speak, Satan will
57:08
help you and also speak.
57:11
Speaker 4: Hear me, God.
57:14
Speaker 7: Speaks, settulit. The question is not whether he will speak.
57:19
The question is to work on your ability to accurately
57:22
perceive his communications and do not limit him to a
57:27
unique mode of operation. Because for many of us, you
57:32
are looking for God to communicate in a certain way.
57:36
Your faith and probably limited mentorship has still ted you
57:40
to understand the speakings of God only through certain ways.
57:46
He has the authority as God to use a plestora
57:49
of options. Your assignment is to make sure your spirit
57:53
is robust. This is why fasting and prayer helps you
57:57
to gain that acceentance. Like a transistor radio, there's waves
58:02
all the time, but if your transistor radio cannot receive
58:06
it is because you are not tuned to the frequency.
58:09
And do you know, sometimes you are just a few
58:12
digits to the frequency, and yet the radio will still
58:15
be making a lot of noise. But the moment you
58:17
cune it and get there. This is the assignment of
58:21
prayer and fascin to build your spirit to rise to
58:24
the frequency of the communications of God. But if you
58:28
stop there, you are in trouble. But we will give
58:34
ourselves continually asks chapter six and verse four to prayer
58:41
for the accendance of our spirit man, but to the
58:44
ministry of the world for the transformation that interprets his speakings,
58:49
so that we can receive His communication with balance. Exactitude
58:54
and precision. Have you been blessed? Please rise upon your feet.
59:02
Speaker 4: You are the one that we pray you are the world.
59:12
Speaker 1: You give the.
59:18
Speaker 4: Pas. Always hear me.
59:29
Speaker 7: God, if you are the one I must see through
59:32
a dream that is limited spiritual understanding. So you have
59:37
been waiting for a dream for five years, and God
59:40
used many other Chinese to say, I'm waiting for you.
59:43
It is important to stop pegging God at certain operations
59:47
now because his father based on relationship, it is possible
59:51
for you to sincerely from your.
59:53
Speaker 4: Heart because the character of Father.
59:55
Speaker 7: Who according to scripture, is not just having children but benevolence.
1:00:00
If you've being evil, know how to give. There are
1:00:02
many times He will overlook and honor the simplicity of
1:00:06
your faith, even if it is in ignorance. But when
1:00:09
you rise to maturity in the spirit, you must be
1:00:12
able to allow the world of God put you in
1:00:15
a position where whether it comes by the weakness of
1:00:19
the spirit, whether it comes through dreams, every other spiritual
1:00:25
operation that God speaks to you through must pass through
1:00:28
the sieve of the world for its accurate understanding. So
1:00:33
if you have a dream, look at me, I'm rapping up.
1:00:37
I shared it with my people many times. If I
1:00:39
were Joseph, please look up. If I were Joseph and
1:00:43
Pharaoh called me and said I had a dream seven cows, seven.
1:00:49
Speaker 4: Lean ones, my mind will go straight to witchcraft, not famine.
1:00:53
Speaker 7: How does cows represent years? How does plans? I would
1:00:57
just say this, this is destruction. But because he had regard,
1:01:03
even though they were in the old, it is amazing.
1:01:06
You have given many things interpretations.
1:01:09
Speaker 4: Because you have used brain work, not scripture.
1:01:15
Speaker 7: Watch this three or us can see a chain in
1:01:18
the spirit, it does not mean bondage. Ornaments are also
1:01:23
made of chains, so don't just say because you saw
1:01:26
a chain it is bondage. No. No, you can see
1:01:36
someone naked in the spirit and say something is wrong, shame.
1:01:39
Speaker 4: No.
1:01:40
Speaker 7: Nakedness also means intimacy. Listen, the basis of our remaining
1:01:53
in accuracy and with precision as we minister the world
1:01:58
and as we guide God's people to your spiritual experiences
1:02:01
would not be the gift on our lives. No, as
1:02:04
wonderful as that is, and it will not just be
1:02:07
opinions that have come based on age. Long respectfully speaking,
1:02:12
limited mentorships. We must return to the world of God
1:02:16
and obtain grace from God to begin to bring accurate
1:02:19
perspectives to spiritual speakings so that God's people are built holistically.
1:02:28
Speaker 4: One last example, and then we pray.
1:02:31
Speaker 7: Assuming that because of my work with God, God gives
1:02:34
me an instruction and says Joshua Salman, you will never
1:02:38
have more than three cars.
1:02:40
Speaker 4: Now, that is not a doctrine.
1:02:42
Speaker 7: It is a personalized dealing because based on my work
1:02:45
with God, he has vetted me to see that if
1:02:47
I have more than that, it can distract me. So
1:02:50
he created a unique limitation to help my efficiency. So
1:02:55
by my obedience you will see me excelling.
1:02:58
Speaker 4: If you come to ask me.
1:02:59
Speaker 7: What is the secret of your results, I would tell you.
1:03:02
Speaker 4: I have on literally cars.
1:03:03
Speaker 7: Your mistake now would be to copy me FABERTI. No,
1:03:09
you must discern the essence of what God did, not
1:03:12
just the action. That the goal was that He wanted
1:03:16
to constrain me to be effective. You will now go
1:03:19
to God and receive your own version of that dealing.
1:03:26
We have copied people blindly, and what has worked for
1:03:29
one based on the unique construct of his ministry, has
1:03:33
become the limiting factor for another.
1:03:37
Speaker 4: I hope you are blessed to night. Father, I obtain grace.
1:03:40
Speaker 7: Someone, pray, I obtained grace in the name of Jesus,
1:03:44
to contend for transformation by the world.
1:03:47
Speaker 4: Go ahead and pray.
1:03:48
Speaker 7: I submit all my spiritual experiences, no matter how great
1:03:53
they are, no matter how suspectacular they are, I submit
1:03:58
them to the authority.
1:03:59
Speaker 4: Of Scripture for proper interpretation, for proper vetting, so that
1:04:05
I do not work in error.
1:04:09
Speaker 7: The imagine of safety for the believer is dwelling with
1:04:12
the Word.
1:04:19
Speaker 4: Someone is pray.
1:04:21
Speaker 10: Shaddyata Allelujah, one last prayer.
1:04:38
Speaker 4: Father, the grace to be a student of scripture.
1:04:43
Speaker 7: Plant a hunger in my heart for the Word, so
1:04:47
that I contend for transformation, giving you the tools to
1:04:52
accurately interpret the light that comes upon my spirit. Someone
1:04:56
lifts your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
1:05:00
Leave your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
1:05:15
Thank yourself.
