• 0:17
  Speaker 1: celebrate our great friend, God, servant Apostle Joshua Selman.

  Speaker 2: Allelujah, Praise the Lord.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: Good morning, everybody. Let's pray. Father, We thank you. It's
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: an honor to be here again.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: Lord.

  Speaker 3: We thank you for house on the Rock. We thank
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: you for the plateau. We pray that you will bless
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: us in no small way this morning. We declare that

  Speaker 3: Jesus forever is lifted and glorified in Jesus' na. I
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: pray a man, God bless you. Please be seated teaching
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: for just a few minutes this morning for this first service.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Who continue from where we leftop yesterday night. So let
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: me encourage everyone who was unable to make it yesterday night,
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: please do well to get the teachings. The Bible says
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: faith comes by hearing and hearing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: By the word of God.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: We began to discuss a subject of encounters. I did
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: tell us, according to Joke forty two one, verse five,
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: I have heard of thee with the hearing of the ear.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: But now my I see at thee.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: So I did tell us yesternight that encounters, our supernatural experiences,
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: experiences that furnish the reality of God, the reality of
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: an idea, the reality of a thing, furnishes it in
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: your spirit. And I said, how that our convictions and
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: are exploits in this kingdom are predicated on the kinds
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and the dimensions of encounters that we have. And I
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: did tell us that there are a number of encounters
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: that we must have as far as kingdom relevance and
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: as far as exploits in this kingdom is concerned. We
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: took two of them yesternight. Number one. The first was
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: the encounter with the Son of the Living God. Please
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: do not forget. This encounter with the Son of the
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: Living God brants us access to his life, his righteousness.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: And his grace.
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: Then we moved over to the second, which is the
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: encounter with the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Allelujah.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: I did say that the Holy Spirit is the confirmer
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: of the Word, the Holy Spirit is the revealer of
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: the Word. The Holy Spirit is the coustodian of the anointed.
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: The administration of spiritual power resides in the office of
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: the Holy Spirit.
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: Allelujah this morning.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Very quickly, let's talk about the third encounter, the encounter
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: with the Word of God, the encounter with the Word
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: of God.
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: John chapter one and verse one.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Very quickly, the Bible says, in the beginning was the Word,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: and the Word was with God. And he said the
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Word was God. He says, the same was in the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: beginning with God. So the Bible starts by telling us
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: the Word was with God in the beginning. Now listen,
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: even though Jesus the person is called the Word, there
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: is the Word of God as the compendium of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: methodologies of the kingdom, the Word of God as the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: compendium of the principles and the mysteries of the Kingdom.
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: So when I talk about this third encounter, I'm not
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: just talking about an encounter with the Son of the
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Living God that leads to the new birth experience. I'm
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: talking about an encounter with the logos of God. The
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: word that is translated word is the Greek word logos,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: and it means the thoughts of a man, the thoughts
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: of a man that seek expression. Bossia, chapter four and
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: verse six. The prophet began to lament, and he said,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: my people are destroyed. They perish for the lack of knowledge,
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: for the lack of knowledge efficients.
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: Chapter four and verse eighteen.
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: I hope you're writing descriptures down efficients chapter four.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: I just quote it quickly for timesake.
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: Paul was mentoring the church in Ephesus, and he was
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: attempting to diagnose their spiritual condition, and he said this,
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: having their understanding darken. He says, been alienated from the
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: life of God through the ignorance that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: Is in them.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Allelujah.
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: As important has been saved or born again, as we
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: know it to be is when you are saved, and
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you just stop at that realm, you will never be
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: able to attain statue and maturity in the Kingdom. In fact,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: the Bible says it is because of God what commitment
• 6:01
  Speaker 3: to our maturity that he gave on to some apostles,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: He gave on to some prophets, evangelists, past.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Us and teach us.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: He says, for the perfecting the word perfecting, there is
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: the word maturing of the saints. That the saints now
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: being matured, would do the work of the ministry to
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: the end that we all as a corporate body. We
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: come into the fullness of the stature of the measure
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: of Christ. It says, not to to and fro by
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: every wind of doctrine and the slight of men, where
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: in the light to deceive are we together. So an
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: encounter with the world of God is an encounter with
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: the mysteries of the Kingdom. Please say after me the
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: mysteries of the Kingdom one more time? Can you shout
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: to say the mysteries of the Kingdom? In Matthew, Chapter
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: thirteen and verse eleven, Jesus is teaching, teaching a crowd
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: just as and he was introducing them to the lifestyle
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of the kingdom. He began his discuss in what we
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: know theologically to be the beatitudes, opening them up to
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: the way the kingdom functioned. And he said that in
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: verse eleven, Matthew, he said, because it has been given
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: unto you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: So in this kingdom we excel and we reign on
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: the strength of the principles.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: And the mysteries of the Kingdom that we know.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: There is a dimension of Jesus called Jesus the Way.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: He said, I am the Way I am not only
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: the truth and life. I am the way, God's authorized method.
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: Jesus the Way.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: And if you do not encounter the world of God,
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: you will never be able to understand the principles. Listen
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: carefully the patterns and the methodologies of God. Let me
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: tell you something about the glory of God. The glory
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: of God is only revealed as an attestation that His
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: patents have been kept. If you ever see the glory
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: of God revealed in the life of an individual, revealed
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: within a territory, a church, a business, the glory of
• 8:27
  Speaker 3: God comes to confirm.
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: That his patterns have been kept.
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: And so if you do not understand spiritual patterns, you
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: will never be able to host or reveal the glory
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: of God.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: If you're with deeply say amen, whether it's.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: In finances, ministry, career, your influence. Every manifestation of the
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: glory of God revealed in scripture came when His patterns
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: were kept.
• 8:57
  Speaker 4: Now look or please. God is a god of systems.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: That means in his character, every time he is about
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: to introduce a dimension of himself, listen carefully. He would
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: demonstrate or simulate that experience once and create spiritual principles
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: around that experience, so that by engaging the principles you
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: can make for continuity of that dimension.
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: Are we together now?
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: So he made man, and he made woman, and he
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: programmed a principle of reproduction. Are we together so that
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: if you need more man, you will not have to
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: call on him and say, come create new people. You
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: engage the principle. Are you getting me now? So you
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: can be born again? And yet your life will never
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: capture the riches that are in Christ because you have
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: encountered the Son of God. You have even encountered the Spirit,
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: but you have not encountered the logos. There is an
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: encounter with the world of God. The result of this
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: encounter with the Word of God is what leads to
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: what we call dominion. You may have heard me say
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: it again that dominion is not an importation. There is
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: no anointing for dominion. Dominion is the resultant effect of
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: your comprehending the ways of the kingdom. This gives you
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: authority the Greek word exusia, capacity to legislate. Are we
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: together now encounter with the Word of God? Colossial, Chapter
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: three and verse sixteen. Paul was speaking to the church
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: in colossy and by extension the body of Christ. He
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: said it this way, Let the Word of Christ dwelling
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: you richly in all wisdom. That the Word of Christ
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: dwelling you richly and in all wisdom, the Word of
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Christ can dwell in you. But if it's not in wisdom,
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: you will not be able to draw it out and
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: apply it accordingly. There are many people who have access
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: to scripture, many people study their Bibles, but there is
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: no methodical approach to their spiritual growth.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: So if and.
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: When situations demand the release of the Word of God,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: they do not know how to coordinate the Word of
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: God like a system of advantage to produce victory.
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: I give you an instance.
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: The average believer does not understand the forces of redemption
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: and the dimensions of victory are located to them. So
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: if you have a challenge, the average believer would pray
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: at random, pleading the blood of Jesus, calling the fire
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: of the Holy Ghost, touching and a green taking communion,
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: laying hands on one another somehow. You just suspect that
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: one of those principles would work is dangerous to live
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: your spiritual life shadow boxing. You can step into a
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: level of accuracy where you know what spiritual principle is
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: responsible for what outcome.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: This is what is called mastery in the spirit.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: And Paul said, he that strives for mastery is not
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: crowned except.
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: He strives lawfully.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: You are a blessing to the degree to which you
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: can handle the principles and the keys of the kingdom.
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: Are we in agreement this morning?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, so believers have access to scripture, but then many
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: are not able to methodically study and understand the truth
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: of God's would write this down please? Maybe I should
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: just say this quickly. Scripture contains three things. Basically, every
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: time you study scripture, you're exposed to three things. Number one, promises.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Every time you study scripture, you're exposed to the promises
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: of God, tokens of His commitments to you. Number two,
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: every time you open up scripture, you are exposed to principles.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: These principles are hidden in stories. These principles are hidden
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: in parables.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Listen to me.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: If all you read in the Bible says story or
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: a parable, it has not benefited you. The benefit from
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: that scripture or that study comes when you uncover and
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: unravel the mystery behind the story behind the parable. So
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: scripture contains promises. Scripture contains principles. Number three. Scripture contains prophecies.
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: We'll see you high leave Tatra. You are shining in
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the line of your war.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Else your power and love.
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: See Holy Holy, Here is a prayer.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Now listen, open the eyes, my aunt Lord, open the
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: eyes mind.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: I want to see. I want to see Allelujah.
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: Second Peter, Chapter one, from verse three.
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: Second Peit touch apter one, and verse three.
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: In fact, let's start from verse two, second pe Touch,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: apter one and verse two. Yes, what it says, grace
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: and peace be multiplied onto you. So we know chrace
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: can be multiplied. We know peace can be multiplied. But
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: the Bible says through knowledge, chece does not multiply through
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: desire ah ah chrace and peace, grace in ministry, grace
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: in business. Every dimension of grace is knowledge dependent. Through
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: knowledge of God and of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Verse
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: three says, according us its divine power have given us
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: all things that pertain how many things, all things that
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: pertain onto life and godliness. But it now comes through knowledge,
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: the knowledge of Him that had called us to glory
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: and virtue. Verse four it says, whereby are given on
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: to us great and exceeding prescious promises that by this
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: we might be the partakers of His divine nature. Havn't
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: escaped the corruption that is in this world through lost
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: The extent of the grace that we command in this
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: kingdom is dependent on knowledge.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: Listen.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: You have to pray for the grace to conquer ignorance
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: in your life.
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: Ignorance is deadly.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: It will give authorization to the devil and his cohorts
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: to destroy you and destroy your ministry. John one, verse
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: five says the lights shining in darkness, and darkness comprehended
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: it not.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: So.
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: The kingdom is a compendium of infinite.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Possibilities, but those possibilities depend on knowledge. Listen, in this kingdom,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: there is a principle that governs kingdom wealth and abundance.
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: There is a principle that governs restoration. There is a
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: principle that governs influence. There is a principle that governs
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: being anointed. There is a principle that governs longevity. It's
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: not enough to just claim them habituaryly. You must understand
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: the principles that lead to that outcome. Are we together?
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: I give you an example you're trusting God to live
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: a meaningful life. There is a principle that is responsible
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: for a meaningful life.
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: Deuteronomy twenty eight.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: From verse one, it says, it shall come to pass
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: if thou shalt diligently harken to the voice of the
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Lord to do and observe.
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: All that I command you this day.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: It leaves you with a promise that you shall be
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: exalted above the nations of the earth, and that this
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: blessing shall come upon you and overtake you.
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Joshua.
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: Chapter one and verse eight says, this book of the
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: Law shall not depart from out of your mouth, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: thou shalt meditate during day and night down mayas observed,
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: not just to say to do all that is written therein.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: It says, then and only then you will have good success.
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: So you just claim good success. Habituarly is making a
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: mockery of your destiny. You must understand the request, spiritual principles,
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: the encounter with the world.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: It's God's speaking to us.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: There are so many things that happen in our lives,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: and we console ourselves sociologically by saying, how can the
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: air liashiia? Have you heard that kind of statement. It
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: looks very sociologically comforting. But let me tell you, God
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: has no business with many things that are happening to
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: many people. We are receiving the fruits of our ignorance.
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: Ignorance has a cost. It can cost you your lifetime.
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: It can cost you your relevance, It cost you your influence.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: The Bible tells us in Jeremiah, chapter twenty nine and
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: verse eleven, the will of God for us is not
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: left in the dark. I know the thoughts that I
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: think towards you, said the Lord. He says, they have
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: thoughts of good or peace, and not of evil. To
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: bring you a future and an expected head. We need
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: to trust God for the grace to become like spiritual
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: archeologists searching for the mysteries of the Kingdom, the principles
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: of the Kingdom that are responsible for the outcomes that
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: we desire. I give you another example. Are you still
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: getting blessed this morning? Many people sah, especially at this
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: time of you know, recession across the globe and then
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: the pandemic has brought a.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Lot of.
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: A lot of setback for many people, especially financially.
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: Now you're trusting God for increase.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Wishing and claiming and complaining and getting angry and blessed people.
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: Will not produce that result.
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: You have to go back to Scripture, the Manual for
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: effective living, and find out God's idea.
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: The Bible says it this way Isaiah fifty one.
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: He says, look on to Abraham your father, and to
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Sarah your mother.
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: That betty. He says, I.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Called him, and I blessed him, and I increased him.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: That means, under study his life as my idea of
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: what it means to be blessed.
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: Are we together?
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Then you begin to study the principles of scripture, and
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: you see scattered through scripture the keys that control the
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: blessing of the Lord upon the life of an individual.
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: Then you begin to study truths like there is here
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: that's cutter it and yet increase it.
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: There is here that with.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: All that modern is meat and tends to poverty, the
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Bible says it diligent and shall be made fast?
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Is that true?
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: You begin to study scriptures like he that works with
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: a wise shall be wise, but a companion of fools,
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: the Bible says, shall be destroyed. Then you begin to
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: learn that there is favor as an equation for success.
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: In the Kingdom. Exodus three and twenty one.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: The Bible says, I will give these people favor in
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: the sight of the Egyptians, and it shall come to
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: past that as ye go, ye shall not go empty. Now,
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: when you find that truth, you obtain grace to work
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: in keeping with the conditions that release a blessing. And
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: personally looks like everybody does not like me. It looks
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: like all the helpers of my destiny are not here
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: to help me. I sympathize with you, But that is
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: not a correct statement, because the Bible says, whoever wants friends,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: you must sow that seed of friendship by becoming friendly.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: Are we together?
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Now?
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: There is a lot of ignorance in the body of Christ.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Please listen to me, well intentioned people, sincere people. Respectfully speaking,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: there are so many well meaning believers across the plateau
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: becoming victims of situations and circumstances, and many people get
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: angry and offended with God. Why should I have this
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: kind of treatment? I love Jesus with all my heart.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: I'm a believer. You will say, I'm a Christian. I
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: go to church. It takes more than going to church.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: It takes more than getting born again. You must encounter
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: the world of God, the methodologists of the Kingdom.
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: Then you will lend his ways.
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: In fact, Prophet Micah propheside that in the last days,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: the mountain of the Lord shall be exalted above all
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: the mountains and above all the hills. And it says
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: all nations will flow through it. It says they will
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: tell one another. Come, let us go to the mount
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: of the Lord, to the house of Jacob, he says,
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: and there he will teach us his ways. That is
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: what we're going to learn. He will teach us his ways.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: You know how the disciples became apostles. It was not
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: just by importation services. For three and a half years
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: they were immersed in a body of spiritual information. It
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: took only one day for their importation, but it took
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: three and a half years they anointing. Will you annointest
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: my head, not my cop What needs the miraculis my head,
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: and I see the result of what happened on my
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: head through my cop We need know, only we need knowledge. Collosuons,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: chapter one and verse nine. Apostle Paul again praying over
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: the church and Colossay. He prayed to the Father that
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: they might be filled with the knowledge of His will
• 24:17
  Speaker 3: number one, number two all wisdom, number three spiritual understanding,
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: and that from a child thou hast known the Holy
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: scripture that is able to make you wise even onto salvation.
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: I'm trusting that in this first service the Lord will
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: plant in us an appetite for scripture, not learning to preach,
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: not learning just to preach in a conference.
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: This is for your life.
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: They are life to those who find them, the Bible says,
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: and health to their flesh.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: I detest ignorance.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not ashamed of any area where I'm in ignorance.
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: In fact, many times I pray and I tell the
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: Lord reveal to me the areas of ignorance in my life,
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: so that I can contend for light. We rise in
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: this kingdom by light. Paul said, I went up by revelation.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: We go up by revelation, not desire. Desire only pushes
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: you to the place where you begin to engage revelation.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: According to Proverbs eighteen and verse one, it says, true
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: desire a man haven't separated himself, seek at and intermedlet
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: with all wisdom.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Desire separates you.
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: But it is knowledge that gives you authority in this kingdom?
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: Are we blessed?
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: There are three blessings that come to the life of
• 25:57
  Speaker 3: any believer when you encounter the word of God. Number one,
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: the first blessing you receive is the blessing of understanding.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: Write that down, Please.
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Understanding the fortitude to comprehend Luke, chapter nineteen and verse
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: forty two. When you read that scripture, the Bible says,
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Jesus student, wept over Jerusalem, he said, Oh, Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: If only you had known in this by day the
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: things that make for your peace, he says, But now
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: they are hidden from you. Understanding is a real miracle. Luke,
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: chapter twenty four and verse forty five.
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: Please give it to us. Understanding, the Bible says.
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: Then open here their understanding that they might understand scripture.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: I think we should turn this verse into a prayer
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: in one minute, Lord, open my understanding. I'm tired of
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: looking but not seeing. I'm tired of hearing but not comprehending.
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: I'm tired of shadow boxing my way through destiny. Grant
• 27:23
  Speaker 3: me accuracy of perception and understanding. If someone praying you
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: came to church, I was glad, he said. When they
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: said un to me. Let us go to the house
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: of the Lord. Because you learn the ways of God.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: You do not learn the ways of God in a bank.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: You do not learn the ways of God in a parliament.
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: The Church is the only authorized institution that conmento and culture. Believers,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: lift your voice and pray, Lord, grant me understanding. Grant
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: me understanding. Allelujah, look at me. Spiritual understanding is a miracle.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Just because you are educated inasmuch as secular education is concerned,
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: does not mean you understand spiritual things. Do not confuse
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: secular education and enlightenment with spiritual understanding. Isaiah twenty nine
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: and verse eleven. Let me show you an interesting scripture
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: Isaiah twenty nine and eleven. Is it possible that we
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: read it together? Can you see it from where you're seated?
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: Or let's try one to read? And the vision of
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: all is be common to you as the words of
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: a book that is sealed, read on which men deliver
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: to one who is learned. Was his reply, saying, read this,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: I pray thee And he said, I cannot why, for it.
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: Is sealed, not closed. Sealed.
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: Just because the Bible is open does not mean that
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: the seals have been broken, it can be open, and
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: yet it is sealed.
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: Next verse verse twelve, and.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: The book is delivered to him that is not learned,
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: saying read this, I pray thee And he said, I
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: am not even learned in the first place.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: So there is a.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Realm where both the larnet and the unlearnet have to
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: depend on the Holy Spirit.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: He's the one who opens you up to scripture.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Interpreting scripture just from an intellectual standpoint will only lead
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: to legalism and confusion. Because when you read the Bible
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: from an intellectual standpoint, let.
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: Me tell you what you will meet.
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: You will meet a plethora of confusing statements. You will
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: meet a plethora of statements that cancel out one another.
• 29:55
  Speaker 3: At the end of it, you will hate what you
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: are reading because what you see here is not just
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: a book like a novel.
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: It's a mystery that is encoded in a book.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: And the Holy Spirit will have to open your eyes
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: that you may behold the wondrous things out.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: Of His law are way together.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Yes, so understanding number two very quickly, as we prepare
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: to rapple. The second blessing that we get from an
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: encounter with the Word is faith. Bible faith is a
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: product of an encounter with the Word of God Romance,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: Chapter ten and verse seventeen. Faith faith Romance ten and
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: verse seventeen is a so then faith cometh. Wow, look
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: at me, Paul personifies faith. Faith is alive like a messenger.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: It can come.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: That means until it comes, you don't have it. Faith comment.
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: There is something that calls faith into your life. Faith
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: comment by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: Faith comments.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: It can come to your life, It can come to
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: your ministry, It can come to your business.
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: But it comes by hearing Bible faith. Listen to me.
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: I submit to you with every sense of responsibility and
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: every sense of respect. Many of the things that we
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: practice that we call faith is not biblee faith.
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: Believe me when I tell you this.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: This is an uncomfortable truth, but it is true. Most
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: of the things that we do the Bible does not
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: call that faith. Faith works, real faith produces results. Let
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: me define for you what faith is based on Scripture
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: and my experience. Faith is the name given to the
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: action that you take based on your conviction of who
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: God is and the integrity of His word. The name
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: given to the action not the believing. Believing is not faith.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: It is part of the process of faith. If all
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: you do is believe, your faith is not complete. You
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: have to understand this. Most of what we do is believing,
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: then we speak No, that's not faith.
• 32:46
  Speaker 4: Faith is the name given to the action you take.
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: That action of obedience derive from your understanding, derive from
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: your conviction.
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: Look at this. Let me have one man, Can I
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: use you?
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: Sir?
• 33:01
  Speaker 4: Come watch this.
• 33:04
  Speaker 3: Please stand here, everyone look at this as far as
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: your eyes can see all this, sir, this is what
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: you're looking for. The handkerchief. Are we together now? Here's
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: what many of us do. In the name of Jesus.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: This is my handkerchief. You are not lying. It was
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: destined to reach you. In the name of Jesus. This
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: is my handkerchief. Are we together now? And while we
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: are saying this the condition that was meant for receiving
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: that handkerchief, we don't find out what it is. And
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: we just said this is my handkerchief five years, This
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: is my handkerchief fifteen years. This is my handkerchief. You
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: are not lying, but it doesn't mean you have it.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: And someone comes out, someone will come from behind and
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: while he's saying, this is my handkerchief. He's working, and
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: in two months he will pick word. For fifteen years
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: you kept watching. Now you get angry and you said
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: this is not fair. For fifteen years I've been seeing this. No,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: just believing and speaking will not give you your results.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: This is a deliverance for someone. Until action is engaged,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: you have not manifested faith. Every promise in the scripture
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: has conditions attached to it. Until those conditions are fulfilled,
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: you have not committed God's integrity.
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: Please understand this.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: Just the awareness of the possibilities does not bring its manifestation.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: You must not requisite condition attached to it.
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: There are conditions. There are conditions. Thank you, sir, Thank you.
• 35:07
  Speaker 3: So it's not enough to just see what is yours
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: in Christ and speak what is yours in Christ? You
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: must take it a step further to find out. This
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: is the benefit of meditation. You are not done meditating
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: until your responsibility, your participatory responsibility, is revealed. If you
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: do not find your responsibility, you have not done meditating.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Meditation is not just to make you aware that this
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: is yours. Every dimension of resulting. The Kingdom will require
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: a role to play there is a participatory role that
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: you have to play. The cheapest of the blessings in
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: the kingdom, as far as receiving is concern is salvation,
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: and even that one is not impattered to you automatically.
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: The gift is free, but it must be received based
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: on a condition that with your heart you will believe
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: onto righteousness and then reverbrilize your commitment by making Jesus Lord.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: So whilst an altar call is made, for instance, if
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: you remain there and hope and wish you are saved,
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: you will still go to hell. Even though the substitutional
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: is sacrifice of Christ is a reality, but it may
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: not be reality in your life. Hear me, The Bible
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: says forever all Lord, that word is settled in heaven.
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: No, not your life in heaven.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: It takes faith and the operation of the Word for
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: it to become a reality in your life. So Jesus
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: teaching us to pray, said this, where you pray, say
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: your kingdom come by your will being done in earth
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: as it is in heaven.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: We must trust God for grace.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: If there is anything to take home in this morning
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: service is that there is a responsibility component as far
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: as dominion in this kingdom is concerned. It is true
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: that God can answer prayer, but just believing he will
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: answer prayer just because you are in trouble, the Bible says,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: the Lord is not them that call upon him, not
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: them that are in trouble. Just because you are in trouble,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: does not mean you will experience his salvation. You must
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: call upon him. That's the condition attached to receive his help.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: Call upon me, he said, and I will answer. Then
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I will show you greater and mighty things. If you
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: do not call upon him, he has to respect your will.
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: Is safe to assume you do not need his help?
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: Are we blessed?
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: Yes?
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Let me give you an assignment.
• 37:49
  Speaker 3: Please go back home and write all the dimensions of
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: the kingdom, the dimensions of results and spiritual possibilities that
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: you seek to step into, and through meditation and prayer
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: to study of the Bible primarily and then relevant materials,
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: find out the conditions connected to that promise, and then
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: obtain grace from God to what in keeping with those conditions.
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: Let me tell you this, truly speaking. When you fulfill
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: the conditions are located for the manifestation.
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: Of a promise, there is no power in existence.
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: That sustains the ability.
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: To stop you from entering that truth. Are we blessed? Finally?
• 38:42
  Speaker 3: Then we pray what is the third blessing that follows
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: and encounter with the Word of God.
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: Stability? Write it down.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Stability, as that chapter thirty three and verse six says,
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: wisdom and knowledge, he says, shall be the step ability
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: of your time. Your life is as stable as the
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: knowledge and the wisdom that you have when you are
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: pertabed by the vicissitudes of life, is proof that you
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: are not crownded yet in fact, years, how as Paul
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: puts it, please give us First Corinthians, chapter fifteen and
• 39:20
  Speaker 3: verse fifty eight. First Corinthians, fifteen fifty eight. Therefore, my
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: beloved brethren, look up, Please be stad first, unmovable, always
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: abounding in the work of the Lord. There is a
• 39:37
  Speaker 3: dimension of spiritual stability that you must attain, and it
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: is knowledge that gives you that stability. The Bible says,
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: if you turn aside in the day of battle, it
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: is that your strength is small. The wife of Job
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: came to him at the height of his predicament and said,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: why don't you just cause God and die?
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: And Job said, no, though.
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: He slay me, I will trust him all the days
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: of my appointed time, he said, I will wait. I
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: know something about God, Allelujah, understanding faith and stability. But
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: I think for many believers that challenge there is the
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: faith part, because we keep doing a lot of things
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: believing we are manifesting faith, and then we are surprised
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: and then angry that our.
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: Lives do not reflect what the Bible says should be.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: If it is Bible faith, I will say it again,
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: it always produces.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: Bible faith produces. There are many.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Young people today, respectfully speaking, do you know the reason
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: why their lives are full of tragedy? This the Bible says,
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: honor your father and your mother in the Lord, that
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: it shall be well with.
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: You, and you shall have the length of days.
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: The level of dishonor that it is almost marketable to
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: practice dis honor is the reason why many people are
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: surrounded by eels. They cannot explain because scripture cannot be broken.
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: You can be a prayer warrior.
• 41:28
  Speaker 3: You practice this honor and watch the pletora of troubles
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: that stand before you. Allelujah. You must embrace the fool
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: as far as producing results is concerned in your life,
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: and as we prepare to pray and wrap up this
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: morning service. In addition to your encounter with the Son
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: of God giving you life and peace, then you encounter
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: with the Office and the Person of the Holy Spirit
• 42:07
  Speaker 3: giving you direction, giving you guidance, fellowship, and then empowerment.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: You need this encounter with the Word of God giving
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: you faith, giving you understanding that translates into real authority
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: in the spirit, and then stability in your life so
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: that after ten years you don't turn back and tell
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: us I've been pretending.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: I don't I'm not sure of what I was teaching.
• 42:41
