Transcript
- 0:00How do you finish praying and fasting and the first person you
- 0:03see are not angels say well done Satan.
- 0:08And when he got there he acted as if he did not know that Jesus
- 0:12was serious with the Father. You are hungry, don't lie, don't
- 0:16deny it, you are hungry. Turn this stone to bread and
- 0:21Jesus said it is written. Then the Bible says he took him
- 0:25to a high pinnacle, the holy city, and say fall down, for it
- 0:29is also written He will put his angels charge over you.
- 0:32Satan is quoting scripture. They will bear you up upon their
- 0:35wings, lest he dash your feet against a stone.
- 0:39Then he takes him into an exceeding high mountain.
- 0:43I don't have the time tonight. These are the three levels of
- 0:46temptation every man must survive.
- 0:49The 1st is about your personal self individualism.
- 0:54Turn this stone to bread, satisfy, use the anointing you
- 0:58have, use ministry for your personal gratification.
- 1:02And Jesus said no, the agenda of the Kingdom is bigger than me
- 1:05alone. Then the next test is your
- 1:07spirituality. Be careless about your spiritual
- 1:11life. You took him up a holy mountain
- 1:13and say fall down. Be careless.
- 1:15After all there are angels who preserve you.
- 1:18And Jesus said no, there is a responsibility components to my
- 1:21work. And the final one, which is the
- 1:25test of influence and dominion. He took him into an exceeding.
- 1:29The Bible did not say he took him around.
- 1:31He took him on a mountain into a mountain.
- 1:35And from that mountain is a spiritual location.
- 1:38You see all the glories of the world.
- 1:41Do you know what that means? That from that mountain you
- 1:44watch the control room of the cosmos.
- 1:47This is what makes other nations blessed.
- 1:50This is what births fraternities and groups.
- 1:53And he said, listen, I am the God of this world.
- 1:55This is a control room. We can negotiate this with you.
- 1:59Ladies and gentlemen, when you truly walk with God, you will
- 2:03get to a level in the spirit where this same offer will be
- 2:06given to you. I promise you.
- 2:09Listen. Listen, it's a difficult offer,
- 2:13except look, if you've not risen to certain levels, this message
- 2:16will not make sense to you. But you will rise to a level
- 2:20where the devil will say you are going to be great anyway.
- 2:23Come, you will now understand why the Bible says.
- 2:27What shall it profit a man if he gains?
- 2:30Hold on gain. Gain is a language of business
- 2:34and for gain to happen there must be an exchange.
- 2:37So who is the other side bringing the gain?
- 2:41Satan will collect your soul and give you the world.
- 2:45Many people on egg today, many of those who celebrate around
- 2:49the world, they were taken to that same mountain and that
- 2:53negotiation happened. Unfortunately, many said what is
- 2:56in my soul take. This is why when Satan sees you
- 3:00prospering even as your soul prospers, there is a problem
- 3:05because two of them should not go hand in hand.
- 3:08You should not prosper as your soul prospers.
- 3:10That means I can verify the source of your prosperity by
- 3:14checking the condition of your soul while you rise.
- 3:18When the condition of your soul goes down as you rise, you are
- 3:21fraternized with Babylon. I'm trying to be as simple as
- 3:34possible. It was not my intention to just
- 3:36there we'll we'll find somewhere and pray.
- 3:42The King, the Savior, the Savior saves with no conditions, but
- 3:51the King does not use without conditions.
- 3:54You are loved without conditions, but you are not used
- 3:58without conditions. God loves everybody without
- 4:02conditions, but He will not. When it has to do with birthing
- 4:06the program of God, it is not without conditions.
- 4:09Please hear me. I'm saying this because in this
- 4:12meeting and in this conference for those who are here and those
- 4:16following online, there is destiny crying from the Spirit.
- 4:21In this end time, God is looking for men and women who He can
- 4:25trust. I will repeat myself tomorrow,
- 4:28but let me just tell you 3 levels of authority that are
- 4:31given to believers in honor, to their loyalty, their surrender,
- 4:36and their obedience to the King experientially, not just by
- 4:40confession. Lord, I love you when it has to
- 4:45do with honoring the King. Is your life that does the
- 4:47speaking, not just your words? Is someone learning number one?
- 4:54The first level of authority that is given to believers in
- 4:58honor to your loyalty to the king is authority over things.
- 5:04Authority over things, the material world, authority over
- 5:09things. Things like finances.
- 5:12Isn't it amazing that that's the least level of spiritual
- 5:15authority? Authority over things.
- 5:19You begin to have a very strange dominion over things.
- 5:26You will call it all kinds of names, but it comes from heaven
- 5:31in honor to your loyalty. The second level, Are you ready
- 5:35now? The second level is authority
- 5:39over nations. When you read the parable of the
- 5:44talents, study what he gave them.
- 5:47The first thing he gave them was things, talents.
- 5:51Then when they qualified, the blessing was you have been
- 5:54faithful in this, I will place you over nations.
- 5:58Do you know what it means to have authority over nations?
- 6:00That means God will never carry out something within that nation
- 6:04ignoring you. Can I hide this from Abraham,
- 6:11that God wants to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, and then he comes
- 6:15to meet one man to last with him, and Abraham says wait, I
- 6:19have an interest in Sodom and Gomorrah.
- 6:22Negotiated the release of Lord authority over people and
- 6:27nations. Look, when this dimension of
- 6:30authority comes upon you, you will command a strange order of
- 6:35influence upon the earth. Many fraternities and groups
- 6:41upon the earth attempt to use divination to simulate this kind
- 6:46of influence. There is a level of influence
- 6:49that cannot happen by social media.
- 6:51There is a level of influence that cannot happen just by
- 6:54lobbying yourself. It is given in honor of your
- 6:58loyalty to the King. Are we together?
- 7:00The 3rd and the highest level of authority that can be given to
- 7:04man is authority over God's program on earth, Authority over
- 7:10His program that God can say for the next 10 years.
- 7:14This is how I am moving in Africa.
- 7:16I put you in charge of that program.
- 7:23Authority over things, authority over nations and authority over
- 7:29His program. You will find out all through
- 7:32Scripture that there were many programs that were done by God
- 7:36and they were individuals who spearheaded that program.
- 7:39If he was Gideon, the destruction of the Midianites, I
- 7:42will together Moses, you find all the individuals who stood
- 7:46out in the Bible. They were not just giving
- 7:48authority over nations. There was a program that God
- 7:52had, and it pleased the Lord that they become the ones who
- 7:55spearheaded that program.
