Good. So from where we stopped today, I just
0:07
wanted to make some things clear, just to add
0:10
more to clarification before we take on. From
0:15
the last place that we stopped on Sunday, we
0:19
had a topic that says all believers have all
0:23
the gifts of the Spirit and should manifest and
0:27
do what? Demonstrate. Hallelujah. And why should
0:30
they manifest? Why should they demonstrate? So
0:34
that they will do what they will profit of. Hallelujah.
0:37
Yes, so let's read 1 Corinthians chapter 12.
0:42
1 Corinthians chapter 12. Verse 1. 1 Corinthians
0:50
chapter 12, verse 1. We'll start reading from
0:53
verse 1 to 11. He said, now concerning spiritual
0:59
gifts, brethren, I will not have you ignorant.
1:05
Ye know that ye were Gentiles carried away unto
1:08
these dumb idols, as even as ye were led. Wherefore,
1:11
I give you to understand that no man speaking
1:14
by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus a curse, and
1:19
that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but
1:22
by what? By the Holy Ghost. This is salvation
1:25
now. Now there are diversities of gifts, but
1:29
the same Spirit. There are differences of administration,
1:32
but the same Lord. And there are diversities
1:35
of operations, but it is the same God who would
1:38
work it all in all. But the manifestation, that's
1:44
verse 7 now. You know, on Sunday, we established
1:47
that verse 7. That word manifestation is what?
1:51
Can somebody help me? The word manifestation
1:54
is what? You can type it. Or you can switch on
2:03
your mic. Let's hear you. That word manifestation
2:05
is what? To reveal clearly. In Greek what? That
2:15
word manifestation is what? And it means what?
2:23
Phanerosis. Yes, phanerosis. Phanerosis. It means
2:27
what? What does it mean? To reveal. Hallelujah.
2:32
To make bare. Nothing to hide. Plainly visible.
2:40
Because that word phanerosis was obtained from
2:43
the word phanero. And the word phanero to make
2:48
visible what has been hidden. Whether by words
2:52
or deeds. Amen. In any other way. The word Phanerosis
2:59
was gotten from the word Phaneru, which means
3:03
what? To make visible. When we say you are making
3:07
something visible, which means that what you
3:10
want to do is that you want a thing to meet the
3:12
eyes. You want the eyes to see it. You want the
3:19
five senses to be able to perceive it. You want
3:24
the five senses to be able to interact with that
3:27
which you are making visible. So now verse seven,
3:32
he says, but the plain revealing of the spirit,
3:39
or we can say, or the visible, can you see? Or,
3:48
but that which has been hidden, Has been revealed.
3:55
Of the spirit. And is given to every man to do
3:59
what? To profit all. And when you get your BLB.
4:07
If you have your BLB. Because we are doing a
4:10
study. When you go to your BLB. Everybody go
4:13
to your BLB. If you have it. You realize that.
4:16
You know the translators. did a good job to be
4:20
able to write 1 Corinthians 7 for us, chapter
4:24
12, verse 11, right? But now, they shifted some
4:29
things because in the original context, right?
4:32
Because on Sunday, I said something that I need
4:35
to bring attention to it, right? And what is
4:40
it? He said, dividing to what? To every man severally
4:45
at what? As he will. And I told us that that
4:51
word he will is not the spirit or rather the
4:56
receiver, the man. Somebody was, you know, probably
5:01
maybe asked the question, but how will you say
5:03
that? Because my Bible is saying as he will.
5:05
English language says it's the spirit that is
5:09
willing. If you read it that way, it means that.
5:14
The Holy Spirit has a choice to give you or not
5:17
to give you. But that is not how that place is.
5:23
So when you go to the original rendition, if
5:25
you have your BLB, let's read it together. Right?
5:30
You will realize in your BLB, it says that dividing
5:34
separately to how many men? To every man as he
5:40
will. Did you open that place, Victory? Did you
5:43
see something like that in your BLB? When you
5:48
open your BLB, you see dividing severally to
5:53
every man. Not dividing to every man severally
5:57
as he will. Dividing severally to every man as
6:03
the man will. Yes, thank you, Takunda. So, that
6:10
word, that word, he will, it means, it means
6:19
based on the desire of the man. So, I make, based
6:26
on my desire to prophesy, based on my desire
6:29
to give a word of knowledge, based on my desire
6:32
to give a word of wisdom, based on my desire,
6:35
right? To give a tongue an interpretation of
6:39
tongue. Based on my desire. Or based on purpose.
6:44
Or based on need. That word. That is as he will.
6:50
But you see there is something unique here. It
6:55
says dividing severally. You know. When you use
6:59
the word. When you use the English word. Severally.
7:03
It means what? Somebody should help me. When
7:05
you use the English word severally, it means
7:07
what? When I say I am giving you money or I am
7:14
giving you my property or I am giving you several
7:16
properties, what do I mean? Oh, class, you should
7:23
help me, my brothers and sisters. When I say
7:26
I am giving you properties severally, you can
7:30
type it, please. Okay, miracle says different.
7:39
Somebody is saying individual. Tapunda says more
7:43
than two. English word says more than two. Many,
7:46
easy, a lot. If I say I am dividing, let's go
7:56
back to 1 Corinthians now. We're going to do
7:58
it now. So I want to clear something to us. When
8:01
I say verse 11, everybody. When I say I am dividing
8:05
to every man severally, as he will. That word
8:11
severally, if you are going to use English dictionary,
8:14
it means many. But when I use the word, I am
8:19
dividing this property, right? To several of
8:25
you. I now mean what? To what? To each of you.
8:32
But when I say I'm dividing severally, it's different
8:38
from I am dividing this property to several of
8:42
you. Do we understand? So when you go by the
8:46
way of King James Version or New King James Version
8:50
or the version you're using, you're going to
8:53
get that verse wrongly. Because in the original
8:57
context, now when you check your PLB, your PLB
9:00
says that dividing severally to every man. That
9:06
word severally, when you check the original word,
9:09
it means idios or ideals. Ideals means privately.
9:16
Ideals means one's own. Ideals means belonging
9:21
to oneself. So what that scripture is saying
9:27
is that, but all this, that one and the self
9:33
-same spirit dividing privately to every man
9:39
at the wheel. Hallelujah. Dividing what is the
9:44
Holy Ghost to every man. So that which is the
9:50
Holy Ghost, what is that which is the Holy Ghost?
9:53
The prophecy, prophecy, right? Gift of prophecy
9:56
is the Holy Ghost. Amen? What again can we see?
10:02
Word of wisdom is the Holy Ghost. Right? Word
10:06
of knowledge is the Holy Ghost. Gift of faith
10:09
is the Holy Ghost. Gift of healing is the Holy
10:13
Ghost. Working of miracles is the Holy Ghost.
10:17
Designing of spirits is the Holy Ghost. Diverse
10:20
kinds of tongues is the Holy Ghost. interpretation
10:23
of songs is what is the holy ghost nine of them
10:28
so what the scripture is saying that the holy
10:31
ghost is taking what is his own and giving it
10:36
to the believer hallelujah so the holy ghost
10:40
dwells in the believer so which means that that
10:44
which is the holy ghost is the believers also
10:47
can you see it do we understand Please, if you're
10:52
with me, you should indicate. Do we understand?
10:55
That which is the Holy Ghost has now belongs
10:58
to who? It's now belonging to you. Praise God.
11:02
Gift of prophecy. The Holy Ghost has taken what
11:05
is His and divided to the believer and giving
11:10
it to the believer. That was severally does not
11:13
mean that He's dividing each. No, no, no. He's
11:16
saying that that which is the Holy Ghost is given
11:19
to every believer. gift of prophecy, word of
11:22
knowledge, word of wisdom, the gift of faith,
11:25
healing, walking of miracles, tongues, interpretation
11:28
of tongues, gift of faith. The Holy Ghost is
11:31
taking that which it is and giving to the believer.
11:35
So the believer has the gift of prophecy. The
11:40
believer has the gift of word of wisdom. Word
11:44
of knowledge. That is why when we start reading
11:47
from verse 8, he said, for to one is given by
11:50
the Spirit, Holy Ghost. Then the word of wisdom
11:55
to another, word of knowledge by the same Spirit.
12:00
So the Holy Ghost is the one that ensures that
12:05
all his gifts are given to the believer. When
12:09
you check that word, It means one's own. It's
12:15
not your English words. It means belonging to
12:19
oneself. It means privately owned. So that which
12:25
is privately owned of the Holy Ghost is now with
12:29
the believers. Hallelujah. How do I know it's
12:32
the believer's own? Because the Holy Ghost dwells
12:36
in the believer. Praise God. When we now read
12:42
Matthew chapter 9 verse 1. I will just read two
12:45
scriptures for us. And then you can go home.
12:48
And then do some personal study on that. Matthew
12:53
chapter 9 verse 1. And he entered into a ship
12:56
and passed over. And came to what? To his ideal
13:01
city. Hallelujah. He came to his own city. Praise
13:07
God. Belonging to his own. Matthew 25, 14. Matthew
13:15
25, 14. See what the scripture says. For the
13:23
kingdom of heaven is as a man traveling into
13:25
a far country who calls his own servants. Amen.
13:31
His own. He calls his ideal servants. And deliver
13:37
unto them his goods. Praise God. So the Holy
13:43
Ghost dwells in the believer. But the Holy Ghost
13:48
has given the believer. Oh, thank you, Holy Ghost.
13:51
The Holy Ghost has given the believer all of
13:55
the things that he sees. Hallelujah. I have the
14:02
prophetic. I have word of wisdom. I have. word
14:07
of knowledge. I have the gift of healing. I have
14:11
the gift of miracles. I have the gift of tongues.
14:15
I have the gift of interpretation of tongues.
14:18
I have the gift of prophecy. How did I get it?
14:21
The Holy Ghost gave me. Praise God. You see why?
14:30
You see why? It's your will. It's now left on
14:34
your will. When you read it, he said, he divides
14:37
severally to every man as the man wills. Now
14:42
you have them. The Holy Ghost is now on your
14:47
own terms to operate them. Praise God. So now
14:53
you have to act on your will to do what? To operate
14:57
them. You have to make up your mind. On your
15:01
own choice. To do what? To operate them. On your
15:06
own will. On your own. When there is a purpose
15:10
for it. When there is a need for it. The receiver
15:15
is the one. That makes the choice. To operate.
15:18
Hallelujah. That place. 1 Corinthians chapter
15:23
12. See again. Let's go there. We are going to
15:26
stay there. or some things. 1 Corinthians 12
15:30
verse 6. It says, And there are diversities of
15:34
what? Oppressions. These diversities of oppressions
15:40
can only be by the will of the believer. So,
15:50
stir up your mind. Stir up your will. Stir it
15:54
up. Stir it up. stayed up stayed up for there
15:58
inside you is the prophetic i'm giving a word
16:00
now somebody for there inside you is the prophetic
16:03
but they're lying inside you is the word of is
16:06
the word of wisdom but there inside you is the
16:09
word of knowledge but there inside is the gift
16:11
of feeling for there is that is the walking of
16:13
miracles but there inside you is the deal of
16:15
faith hallelujah for there inside you lying his
16:20
bones and interpretation of thoughts act on your
16:23
will dear believer and operate them all. The
16:29
Holy Ghost has taken that which is his and has
16:33
given it to you. Praise God. He has given us
16:36
all. He has given us all. He has given us all.
16:40
He has given us all. When it comes to manifesting
16:43
the things of the Spirit, the Spirit has taken
16:47
all of it and has given it to the believer. Hallelujah.
16:53
You have Everything that is the Holy Ghost. You
16:59
have it. You have it. You have it. You have it.
17:03
I'll repeat myself again. You have it. All that
17:06
is the Holy Ghost. You have it. Praise God. That
17:11
was several ideals. Don't forget. The Holy Ghost
17:15
has already willed it and has given it to you.
17:19
Amen. He has given it to you. They are all in
17:27
us. So make a decision today to prophesy. Make
17:33
a decision today to manifest. Make a decision
17:38
to make visible a prophetic word. Make a decision
17:42
today to make visible a word of wisdom. Make
17:44
a decision today to make visible a word of knowledge.
17:47
It's in you, dear believer. Why? Because when
17:53
you do that, you are bringing benefit. Praise
17:56
God. That word, to profit all, or to profit with
18:02
all, it means sumfero. Profit with all. It means
18:07
what? Sumfero. S -U -M -P -H -E -R -O. Sumfero.
18:16
Sumfero. Sumfero means To benefit others. To
18:24
contribute to others. To bear together with others.
18:30
To bring advantage to others. Be better towards
18:38
others. Tumfero means what? To bring benefit
18:46
to others. Do you see? The Holy Ghost has given
18:49
you the prophetic in order to bring benefit to
18:52
others. The Holy Ghost has given you word of
18:55
wisdom to fanerosis towards others. The Holy
19:00
Ghost has given you word of knowledge to Tumfero
19:04
towards others. You see the reason why the believer
19:10
must always manifest the things of the spirit
19:14
because all the things of the spirit has been
19:17
given to the believer in my name you shall cast
19:23
out devils in my name you shall lay hands on
19:27
the sick and the sick will get healed in my name
19:30
you shall speak new tongues can you see It's
19:34
not the Holy Spirit that will come and lay his
19:35
hands there. It's not the Holy Ghost that will
19:37
come and speak the tongues. It's not the Holy
19:40
Ghost that will come and cast out the devils.
19:42
You are the one that will cast the devils out
19:45
because all the gift is in you and you shall
19:50
receive power after that the Holy Ghost is what?
19:54
It's come upon you. So everything is yours in
19:59
Christ Jesus. Hallelujah. The posture that God
20:08
has put the believer in is the posture of benefit.
20:14
Every day the believer ought to benefit other
20:17
brethren. Every day the believer must bring benefit.
20:22
Bring benefit. Bring benefit to your sisters.
20:25
Bring benefit to your brother. Bring benefit
20:28
to your local church. Bring benefit to your pastors.
20:31
Bring benefit to your husband. Bring benefit
20:34
to your wife. Bring benefit to your children.
20:38
All the things of the Holy Ghost are yours. Hallelujah.
20:47
Bring benefit. Acts chapter 20, verse 20. Let's
20:51
see that word. Benefit. Acts 20, 20. And how
20:56
I kept back nothing that was profitable unto
21:00
you. But have done what? I have shown you and
21:05
have taught you publicly. And from house to house.
21:09
I kept nothing. I kept nothing. This is Paul
21:14
speaking. I kept nothing that is profitable unto
21:17
you. All that the Holy Ghost has given you. Is
21:23
profitable to the local church. Don't keep it.
21:26
Don't hold it. Release it. Operate in them all.
21:33
1 Corinthians chapter 10 verse 33. Even as I
21:41
please all men in all things, not seeking my
21:44
own profit, but the profit of many. Hallelujah.
21:49
Seek the profit of your brother. Seek the profit
21:52
of your sister. Seek the profit of your local
21:55
church. Seek the profit of believers around you.
21:58
The gifts of the Holy Ghost are yours. Why should
22:04
I do that? I told us on Sunday to write something
22:07
down. Walk in love. Hallelujah. Walk in love.
22:13
Walk in love. Why? Because you cannot bring benefits
22:20
to the local church if you don't make a choice
22:25
to walk in love. You see? The God kind of love
22:33
is a profiting kind of love. The God kind of
22:38
love is a beneficial kind of love. The God kind
22:43
of love makes the other better. The God kind
22:48
of love tears up the other. The God kind of love
22:53
is the love that ensures that the other keeps
22:57
growing. Everywhere, we're going to see it. Everywhere
23:04
you see the scripture talks about love, you will
23:08
see sacrifice. You will see benefits. I'm going
23:11
to read two, three scriptures and then I'll leave
23:14
off here. 1 Corinthians chapter 13. 1 Corinthians
23:20
chapter 13. When it comes to the operation of
23:27
the things of the spirit, manifesting the things
23:29
of the spirit, love. is the platform. Love is
23:34
the key. Love is the key. Love is the key. Love
23:40
is the key. Walk in love. Walk in love. Walk
23:43
in love. Walk in love. And in walking in love,
23:46
you will see a demonstration of all the things
23:50
of the Spirit through you. You will see the operation
23:53
of all the things of the Holy Ghost through you.
23:57
1 Corinthians 13. He said, though I speak with
24:01
the tongues of men and of angels and have not
24:05
charity, I am become a sounding brass or a tinkling
24:08
cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy
24:11
and understand all mysteries and all knowledge,
24:14
and though I have all faith so that I can remove
24:17
mountains and have not charity, I am nothing.
24:21
And though I bestow all my goods to feed the
24:24
poor, And though I give my body to be burned
24:28
and have no charity, it profited me what? Nothing.
24:32
So which means you can choose to prophesy and
24:36
not walk in love. You can give a word of wisdom
24:39
and you are not in love. You can give a word
24:41
of knowledge and you are not walking in love.
24:44
How do I know what will now come after you have
24:49
given a word of prophecy? How do I know? that
24:55
you're not working in love when you give a word
24:57
of wisdom, selfishness is going to come up. How
25:00
do I know that you're not working in love when
25:04
you operate in the gift of healing? There will
25:07
be divisions. There will be carnality. There
25:12
will be works of flesh manifested. But every
25:16
time there is working in love and there is oppression
25:19
of the things of the spirit, you will see pride.
25:23
You won't see carnality. You won't see self -centeredness.
25:28
You won't see divisions. He said love or charity
25:35
suffered long. It's kind. Can you see? Charity
25:40
envied not. Can you see? Sacrifice. Charity vaunted
25:44
not itself. Charity is not buffed up. Charity
25:48
behave itself what? does not behave itself unseemly.
25:53
It does not speak her own. It's not easily provoked.
25:59
When we keep reading, you keep saying that love
26:03
is not selfish. Prophecy that the Holy Ghost
26:08
has given you, all the gifts of the Holy Ghost
26:10
that he has given you, is not yours to keep.
26:14
It's for you to walk in love with them towards
26:17
the local church. For you to walk in love with
26:20
them towards the brethren. Ephesians 5 verse
26:22
2. Ephesians 5 verse 2. See what the scripture
26:27
says. And walk in love as Christ also at work
26:34
loved us. And have given himself. For us as an
26:40
offering. And his sacrifice to God. For his sweet
26:44
smelling. So what Jesus did. Was to bring profit
26:49
to us. What Jesus did. Was to bring benefit to
26:53
us. What Jesus did. Was to make our lives. Of
26:57
more advantage. Colossians chapter 3. Colossians
27:04
chapter 3. Verse 12. See what the scripture says.
27:12
Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy
27:15
and beloved, power of mercy, kindness, humbleness
27:19
of mind, meekness, long -suffering, touching,
27:22
forbearing one another, and forgiving one another.
27:27
If anyone have a quarrel against you, right?
27:31
Even as Christ, what? forgive you also do yes.
27:35
He was supporting everybody. And above all things,
27:40
put on love, which is the bond of what? Perfectness.
27:48
You see, because you are walking in love. You
27:52
are forgiving one another. Because you are walking
27:55
in love, you are showing mercy to one another.
27:57
You are showing kindness to one another. You
27:59
are humble towards one another. You are meek
28:02
towards one another. You are long -suffering
28:05
towards one another. Hallelujah. When it comes
28:10
to the oppression of the things of the Spirit,
28:14
it's by love. Hallelujah. That is the only way
28:19
you can bring benefit to your brother. You can
28:22
bring benefit to your husband. You can bring

28:47
who desire to demonstrate that which we have

32:35
the Spirit of God and brought joy to the city.
32:40
2 Corinthians 3, verse 17. 2 Corinthians 3, verse
32:47
17. Now the Lord is that spirit. And where the
32:52

33:30
of being filled with the Spirit. There will be
33:33
submission to one another and willing to serve.
33:39
There will be submission to one another and willing
33:44
to serve. Hallelujah. There will be submission
33:48
to one another and willing to serve. When you
33:52
go to Ephesians chapter 5 verse 18 till 21. Submission
33:59
to one another and willing to what? And willing
34:02
to serve. Hallelujah. Nothing should stop you
34:09
from seeing supernatural utterances. Nothing
34:14
should stop you. You're going to experience revelations
34:18
and visions, miracles, signs and wonders, giving
34:23
of thanks, full of joy, submission to one another,
34:28
and willing to what? To serve. Hallelujah. Everywhere
34:33
you see a man that is filled with the Spirit
34:37
of God, look out for these characteristics. Look
34:43
out for these characteristics. Some of the things
34:49
that will hinder us from manifesting the gifts
34:53
of the Holy Ghost. Some of the things that will
34:56
hinder us from manifesting the things of the
35:00
Spirit in this season. You know, number one,
35:03
when we despise the things of the Holy Ghost.
35:09
1 Thessalonians 5, 16 to 20. When we despise
35:16
prophesies, that word to despise prophesies,
35:22
it means when you treat the things of the Spirit
35:25
with contempt, willful ignorance, making a choice
35:33
to despise the things of the Spirit. When you
35:37
suppress the things of the Spirit, you are despising
35:41
the things of the Spirit. Number two, one of
35:48
the things that will stop you from manifesting
35:51
the things of the Spirit, your association. If
35:57
you have a friend that despises the things of
36:00
the Spirit, I give you a little time, you will
36:04
end up like your friend. When you have fellowship
36:11
or move with believers who do not contend for
36:16
the things of the Spirit, when you move with
36:20
believers, When you move with believers that
36:24
do not contend to see the manifestation and demonstration
36:28
of the things of the Spirit, with time, you will
36:32
stop seeing them in your life. When you move
36:36
with believers that their desire and fervency
36:40
for the things of the Spirit is low, you are
36:45
not going to see them soon in your life. When
36:50
your fervency and desire is low, your fervency
36:54
and desire for the things of the Spirit will
36:57
also be low in a short time. Three, when you
37:04
are familiar with the things of the Spirit. Familiarity.
37:10
We know one now. We know, we know, we know. Do
37:18
not be familiar with the things of the Spirit,
37:21
with the Holy Ghost. The flow of the things of
37:26
the Holy Ghost is always fresh. The flow of the
37:33
Holy Ghost in the believer is always what? It's
37:37
always fresh. Desire to see fresh utterances.
37:42
Desire to see fresh move of the Holy Ghost in
37:46
your life. Do not be in familiarity with the
37:51
things of the Holy Ghost. I just gave a prophetic
37:56
word now to someone. Let it be fresh. Desire
38:06
that daily the flow of the Spirit through you
38:09
will be flesh in all your meetings. In any meeting,
38:15
desire to see the flow of the things of the Holy
38:18
Ghost fresh. Four. Number four. One of the things
38:25
that will stop you or hinder you from manifesting
38:28
the things of the Spirit is worldliness. Worldliness.
38:37
Carnality. Worldliness. When you begin to hear
38:42
some sort of doctrine that plays down on the
38:46
love of God, on the love work and honor for the
38:50
body of Christ. Wordliness. Wordliness. When
38:56
you begin hearing some doctrines that plays down
39:01
on the love of God. that plays down on the things
39:05
of the spirit, that plays down on honor for the
39:09
body of Christ, worldliness. When you begin to
39:16
listen to people and friends that quench your
39:21
pursuit for the supernatural, please, I want
39:25
to speak to someone here. Stop listening to people
39:29
that always are around you to quench your desire
39:33
for the supernatural. Stop listening to them.
39:38
In fact, let me say this, it's coming to my heart,
39:40
leave them. Any friend that will quench your
39:45
quest, your pursuit for the supernatural power
39:48
of the Holy Ghost, leave that friend. It's not
39:51
a supernatural friendship. Number five. Prayerlessness.
40:03
Prayerlessness can cause your fervency for the
40:06
things of the spirit to be low. Prayerlessness
40:10
can cause your fervency for the things, demonstration
40:14
of the things of the Holy Ghost, the manifestation
40:17
of the things of the Holy Ghost, your fervency
40:20
for them to be low. So now, We say characteristics
40:29
of the things of the Holy Ghost. We say when
40:32
you are filled with the Spirit, number one, what
40:37
did I say? When you are filled with the Spirit,
40:39
number one, let me know whether you are with
40:43
me. You are giving to supernatural utterances.
40:46
You are giving to supernatural utterances. God
40:49
bless you. So, we are going to pick that one,
40:54
number one. When you are filled with the Spirit
40:59
of God, the first evidence we see scripturally,
41:04
can you hear what I'm saying? The first evidence,
41:07
one of the initial evidence that we are going
41:10
to see at work in your life as a believer is
41:14
the supernatural utterance. Supernatural utterance.
41:20
Supernatural utterance. Speaking, speaking, speaking,
41:26
speaking, speaking. Acts chapter 2 verse 4. Acts
41:32
chapter 2 verse 4. And they were all filled with
41:38
the Holy Ghost and began to speak with other
41:42
tongues as the Spirit gave them. utterance speaking
41:50
as chapter 4 verse 8 then peter fear with the
41:56
holy ghost spoke unto them speaking when you
42:02
are filled with the holy ghost the initial first
42:04
evidence we are going to see is supernatural
42:08
alterance acts of the former study one Acts chapter
42:14
4 verse 31. And when they had prayed, the place
42:18
was shaking where they were assembled together
42:20
and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost
42:25
and they did what? And they spake the word of
42:30
God with holiness. Speaking. Acts chapter 10
42:38
verse 45. Can you see? Speaking. Acts chapter
42:44
10, verse 45. And they of the circumcision we
42:52
believe were astonished as many as came with
42:54
Peter because what? That on the Gentiles also
42:58
was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. See
43:01
46, everybody. For they did what? For they heard
43:06
them speak with tongues. Hallelujah. Write this
43:16
as additional scripture. Acts 19 verse 6. Acts
43:20
19 verse 6. Acts 11 verse 24. So. When we say.
43:29
The utterance gift. Of supernatural utterance.
43:34
We mean. Speaking in tongues. We mean. Prophecies.
43:52
Tongues are supernatural utterance. And the believer
43:57
is the one that makes choice to speak. He's the
44:02
one that acts on his own will to speak. Why?
44:12
Because being filled with the Spirit of God,
44:17
I said on Sunday that somebody will ask a question.
44:20
So how can I be filled with the spirit of God?
44:23
And I told us that being filled with the spirit
44:25
of God means what? Manifesting that which is
44:28
the Holy Ghost from within. Demonstrating the
44:31
things of the spirit. So how can that be possible?
44:35
By speaking. Hallelujah. By speaking in tongues.
44:40
How can I stay off the things of the Spirit and
44:44
I see a demonstration of them? By doing what?
44:46
By speaking. Speaking in tongues. Giving a prophetic
44:55
word. When we read 1 Corinthians chapter 14.
45:04
1 Corinthians chapter 14. What do we see? In
45:09
the whole of 1 Corinthians chapter 14, Paul was
45:12
addressing the church to bring order regarding
45:16
the oppression of the prophetic. And he began
45:25
that chapter, every one of us, let's go there
45:28
because we are coming to that place now. He said,
45:33
follow after charity and desire spiritual gifts.
45:36
But rather that they may what? prophesied, for
45:40
he that would speak it in an unknown tongue,
45:46
speaking unto men or unto God, for no man understood
45:51
him, how being in the Spirit he would speak at
45:56
mysteries. But he that prophesied, speaking unto
46:01
men, verification and exhortation and comfort
46:04
was for everybody. He that speaketh in an unknown
46:08
tongue hath defied himself. But he that prophesied
46:13
hath defied what? The church. So what is prophecy
46:18
in chapter 14? When you read, prophecy is tongues
46:22
and interpretation of tongues. Tongues plus interpretation
46:27
of tongues is equal to prophecy. What is prophecy?
46:34
Prophecy is supernatural utterance in a simple
46:37
language that the audience can receive it and
46:42
be edified. Let me repeat myself. Prophecy is
46:46
supernatural utterance in simple language that
46:52
the audience can receive that utterance and what?
46:58
Be edified. This is a summary of prophecy. We're
47:03
going to come with time and teach on prophecy,
47:06
gift of prophecy, word of wisdom, word of knowledge.
47:10
The last prayer groups that we had, some of us
47:13
were giving prophecy, some of us were giving
47:15
word of wisdom, some of us were giving word of
47:17
knowledge. However, we're all mixing it together,
47:19
but we're going to come and then be trained and
47:21
taught. So you see an emphasis by Paul on speaking
47:29
in tongues. Oh, my dearly beloved brethren on
47:33
this platform, I encourage you. Pray in tongues
47:37
more. Pray in tongues more. Speak in tongues
47:40
more. Speak in tongues more. For in so doing,
47:43
you're going to make so much adventure in the
47:46
things of the Holy Ghost. For in so doing, you're
47:49
going to see an increase in the demonstration
47:52
of the things of the Holy Ghost much more. For
47:55
in so doing, you're going to see the manifestation
47:59
of the things of the Holy Ghost. See how many
48:04
times Paul, Had to mention tongues. 1 Corinthians
48:11
chapter 12 verse 10. He mentioned tongues there.
48:18
To another, the walking of miracles. To another,
48:21
prophecy. To another, designing of spirits. To
48:24
another, diverse kinds of tongues. To another,
48:29
interpretation of what tongues. 1 Corinthians.
48:35
12 verse 30. Have all gifts of healing? Do all
48:40
speak with tongues? Do all interpret tongues?
48:47
13, 1 to 2. 1 Corinthians 13. Do I speak with
48:53
tongues of men and of angels? Verse 2. And do
49:01
I have the gift of prophecy? tongues first Corinthians
49:07
14 verse 2 though I speak in an unknown tongue
49:12
verse 4 he that speaketh in an unknown tongue
49:19
verse 5 I would rather that ye all speak with
49:27
what speak with tongues hallelujah See verse
49:33
6, everybody. Now, brethren, if I come verse
49:37
6 to 11, from verse 6 to 11 is the battle. Verse
49:43
13, go to verse 13 to 14. Wherefore, let him
49:47
that speaketh in an unknown tongue pray that
49:52
he may what? He may interpret prophecy. Hallelujah.
49:57
Verse 14, for if I pray in an unknown tongue,
50:01
can you see how many times Paul has made mention
50:05
of tongues? Emphasis on tongues, tongues, tongues,
50:09
tongues, tongues, tongues. He said, for I thank
50:16
God that I pray in tongues more than ye are.
50:23
Tongues. Tongues is in the spirit. Hallelujah.
50:35
Can you hear what I'm saying, everybody? Tongues
50:39
is in the spirit. And if tongues is a manifestation
50:44
of the spirit, then you must value the things
50:50
of the spirit. It means that you must value tongues.
50:57
am in the spirit and tongues is in the spirit
51:00
so I ought to value it. Let me repeat myself.
51:05
I am in the spirit and tongues is in the spirit
51:09
so I ought to value tongues. Hallelujah. By tongues
51:18
we can make adventures in the spirit. By tongues
51:23
we can make adventures in the spirit. By tongues
51:28
we will stay aflame. By tongues we will stay
51:32
fervent. Will we stay long enough? Praying in
51:39
tongues. We will see more demonstration. And
51:43
manifestation of the Holy Ghost. Let me repeat
51:46
this line again. When we stay long enough. Praying
51:50
in the Holy Ghost. We will see the demonstration.
51:54
And the manifestation. Of the things of the Holy
51:57
Ghost. Much more. Okay. Praying in tongues. Find
52:05
Jesus. In the spirit. Do you hear what I said?
52:09
Praying in tongues fine -tunes us in the Spirit.
52:19
This that I'm about to say is someone's answer
52:24
right now. When you pray more in tongues, your
52:30
experiences in the things of the Spirit will
52:33
begin to change. These just answered someone's
52:39
questions about revelations and visions. Who
52:45
is the person? There's somebody on this platform.
52:49
You've been having a question and much more regarding
52:53
revelation and vision. Who is the person? You
52:57
can just indicate on the chat box. This is your
53:00
answer. When you pray more in tongues, your experiences
53:05
in the things of the spirit will begin to change.
53:11
So go extreme in tongues. Pray in tongues more.
53:18
Think also in tongues more. Give a hymn. Spiritual
53:27
tongues. spiritual songs sing in the spirit much
53:35
more the interpretations are going to come for
53:39
in so doing direction will come For in so doing,
53:44
comfort will come. For in so doing, healing will
53:48
come. For in so doing, that fire that you seek
53:52
will be set up again. For in so doing, you're
53:56
going to set up so much revival in your inside.
54:02
So you must be filled and full of the things
54:07
of the Holy Ghost. How? By praying in tongues.
54:11
How do I get filled with the Spirit of God? By
54:15
praying in tongues. By speaking much more. So
54:27
you need to have fervency when it comes to the
54:31
flow of the Holy Ghost. Do you understand what
54:34
I said? You need to have what? You need to have
54:38
fervency. Oh, your fervency must be on the edge.
54:44
Please, hear this thing I'm saying. Many people
54:48
have walked up to me and asked me, Sir, how is
54:51
it that you seem to flow when you just come into
54:56
a meeting? The meeting will be so dry. And then
55:00
when you stand up, there seems to be a steering
55:05
that is different that just catches people. A
55:11
couple of people have had the privilege, we've
55:13
had the privilege to go to some certain programs
55:16
around on this island and the meeting was as
55:19
dry as anything. And by the feeling with the
55:25
Spirit of God, we came up to the minister and
55:29
that place was on fire and the flow of the things
55:33
of the Holy Ghost. How? is this possible by staying
55:42
fervent when it comes to the flow of the Holy
55:46
Ghost? Brothers and sisters, stay fervent. Oh,
55:50
dear husband, dear husband, listen to me. If
55:55
you want to see much more of the Holy Ghost demonstration
55:59
in your family, stay fervent to the flow of the
56:03
things of the Holy Ghost. Dear wife, if you want
56:06
to see much more the flow of the Holy Ghost in
56:10
that family, stay fervent when it comes to the
56:14
things of the Holy Ghost. One of the things I
56:18
will tell you, how to stay fervent. Number one,
56:23
your desire must not be ordinary. Do you hear
56:29
what I said? Your desire to see the demonstration
56:32
of the things of the Holy Ghost must not be what?
56:35
Must not be ordinary. 1 Corinthians chapter 12
56:40
verse 31. Everybody see what the scripture says.
56:44
1 Corinthians 12 verse 31. He said, but what?
56:51
Convert endlessly the best gifts. Hallelujah.
56:58
When it comes to the things of the Holy Ghost,
57:00
you have to convert how? Earnestly. 1 Corinthians
57:06
14, 39. 1 Corinthians 14, 39. Wherefore, brethren,
57:15
convert to prophesy, and forbid not what? To
57:20
speak with tongues. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 1.
57:27
1 Corinthians 14, verse 1. Follow authority and
57:33
desire spiritual gifts. Hallelujah. Romans chapter
57:41
12, verse 11. Romans chapter 12, verse 11. Let's
57:47
see there, brethren. Romans 12, verse 11. See
57:52
what the scripture says there. Not flawfully
57:56
in business. Serving the what? In spirit. Serving
58:06
the Lord. Serving in spirit. Thou wilt to convert
58:11
earnestly. Are you here with me? Thou wilt to
58:15
convert earnestly. The Greek word there is zilo.
58:19
Zilo. Z -E -L -O -O. Convert endlessly. Zeal.
58:27
It's the same word with be fervent. The same
58:31
root word, zeal. It means to burn with zeal.
58:37
To burn with zeal. Be fervent means to boil.
58:44
Have a zeal that is unquenchable. Have a zeal
58:49
that is boiling. the fire of the spirit so your
59:00
desire must not be ordinary your desire must
59:07
not be what ordinary be flexible to the holy
59:11
ghost so your pharmacy and flexibility To the
59:19
Holy Ghost. And to the things of the Holy Ghost.
59:23

59:29
be built upon. These things I'm about saying.

In words, in prayer, and in meditation. 1 Thessalonians
1:00:06
5 verse 17. 1 Thessalonians 5 verse 17. See what
1:00:13
the scripture says. Glory to God. I just perceive
1:00:19
more that there are many people on this platform
1:00:22
that are already stirred up in the spirit. 1
1:00:27
Corinthians 5, verse 17. From verse 16. Rejoice
1:00:32
evermore. Pray without what? Ceasing. Regular
1:00:37
devotion in prayers, in the word, and in meditation.
1:00:43
Luke 18 verse 1, and Jesus gave this parable
1:00:48
unto them, saying, men ought to always pray and
1:00:53
not faint. Ephesians chapter 6 verse 18, praying
1:01:01
always with all manner of supplication in the
1:01:04
spirit. Romans 12, verses 1 to 2. Your mind be
1:01:15
transformed on the word. So your frequency and
1:01:21
flexibility to the flow of the things of the
1:01:24
Holy Ghost must be built on what? Regular what?
1:01:27
Devotion. In prayer. In the word. And in what?
1:01:31
In meditation. Secondly, in your participation.
1:01:36
In Holy Ghost meetings. In your participation
1:01:41
in what? In Holy Ghost meetings. You see, why
1:01:48
all of them were able to flow in the things of
1:01:50
the Holy Ghost in Acts chapter 2 verse 4 is because
1:01:54
they were all together in one place. Always participate
1:01:59
in believers meetings. Your fervency will be
1:02:04
on the edge. Your fire will be on the edge. Your
1:02:09
desire will not be ordinary. You will find men
1:02:13
that are like passion like you. You will find
1:02:16
men that are like passion. Men that have same
1:02:20
passion. Men that are burning. Men that are converting
1:02:24
endlessly. Just as you. So make a choice. You
1:02:33
have to make a choice to start out on the things
1:02:36
of the Holy Ghost. When it comes to the flow
1:02:39
and manifesting the things of spirit, you have
1:02:42
to start out. Please, don't be afraid. I just
1:02:47
hear in my heart a word for someone now. Don't
1:02:50
be afraid to start something. Don't be afraid
1:02:53
to start out on the prophetic. Don't be afraid
1:02:56
to start out praying in tongues. Don't be afraid
1:02:59
to give out that word of knowledge. So make a
1:03:03
choice. You are the one to start it out. 1 Corinthians
1:03:09
14, verse 26. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 26. How
1:03:16
is it, brethren, when you come together? Every
1:03:21
one of you had what? Had a thumb. Every one of
1:03:26
you had a doctrine. Every one of you had what?
1:03:29
Interpretation. Can you see a Holy Ghost meeting
1:03:32
there? Let all things be done unto what? A defiant.
1:03:42
So stand it up. 1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 14.
1:03:49
1 Timothy chapter 4 verse 14. See what the scripture
1:03:52
says. Neglect not the gift that is in you which
1:04:00
was given thee by the prophecy with the laying
1:04:05
on of hands of the world of the presbytery. Neglect
1:04:09
it not. You do not neglect the gifts that are
1:04:13
with you, in you, sorry. You do not neglect the
1:04:16
things of the Holy Ghost that are in you, that
1:04:19
are yours. Do not neglect it. Do not what? Neglect
1:04:26
it. 2 Timothy chapter 1, verse 6. 2 Timothy chapter
1:04:36
1. Do not neglect. Do not neglect the things
1:04:39
of the Holy Ghost. Flow in the things of the
1:04:42
Holy Ghost. Flow in the things of the Holy Ghost.
1:04:45
2 Timothy chapter 1 verse 6. Wherefore I put
1:04:49
thee in remembrance, NECF Church, that thou share
1:04:55
of the gift of God which is in you by the putting
1:05:00
on of my hands. Who is the one to steer it up?
1:05:04
Please, President, answer me. Who is the one
1:05:06
that will steer it up? Who? Me. Thank you, Takunda.
1:05:16
Me. Steer it up. And I have this word now. Anytime
1:05:21
you neglect the things of the Holy Ghost, it
1:05:26
will be difficult for you to steer them up. Do
1:05:31
you hear what I said? Every time you neglect
1:05:34
the gifts that are within you, it will be difficult
1:05:39
for you to do what? To stir them up. It will
1:05:42
be difficult for you to manifest them. It will
1:05:45
be difficult for you to what? To demonstrate
1:05:47
them. Every time you stir up the gifts of the
1:05:51
Holy Ghost, let me say them again. Every time
1:05:54
you neglect the things of the Holy Ghost, it
1:05:57
will be difficult for you to manifest them. It
1:06:01
will be difficult for you to flow in them. Because
1:06:05
the more they are stirred up, you are practicing
1:06:09
them. You are practicing them. You are practicing
1:06:11
them. You are practicing them. You will get better.
1:06:18
at it when it comes to the things of the holy
1:06:23
ghost do not have a pattern do you know what
1:06:26
i said do not have a what do not have a pattern
1:06:29
be flexible do you hear what i said be flexible
1:06:33
be flexible be flexible be flexible that's how
1:06:40
the flow of the holy ghost is You will get to
1:06:44
a place and you will hear a sharing of much more.
1:06:48
You will see a living much more. You will see
1:06:52
much more that is stirred up within you to lay
1:06:57
hands on the sick and they get healed. You will
1:07:01
get into another place. It's not a laying on
1:07:04
of hands. It's a prophetic word. You get into
1:07:10
another place, it's a walking of miracles. You're
1:07:13
going to see creative miracles happening through
1:07:16
your hands as Jesus writes them. So contend for
1:07:24
the flow of the things of the Holy Ghost. Contend
1:07:27
for the manifestation of the things of the Spirit.
1:07:30
content for the demonstration of the things of
1:07:32
the Holy Ghost. Dear brethren, dear believer,
1:07:35
dear sister, dear brother, content to see the
1:07:40
demonstration and the manifestation of the things
1:07:43
of the Holy Ghost. Lastly, lastly, you can check
1:07:49
your pharmacy. If you're with me now, you can
1:07:53
check how fervent you are regarding the things
1:07:57
of the Holy Ghost, or you can check your fervency
1:08:00
regarding the manifestation and the demonstration
1:08:03
of the things of the Holy Ghost by your attitude
1:08:08
and your actions towards the things of the Holy
1:08:11
Ghost. How? Let me repeat myself. You can check
1:08:15
your fervency. By your attitudes and your actions
1:08:21
towards the things of the Holy Ghost. How? Number
1:08:25
one. Your affection for the things of the Spirit.
1:08:31
How is your affection? How is your love for the
1:08:36
things of the Spirit? Is it growing cold and
1:08:39
cold? Is it getting low, low and low every day?
1:08:46
Number two. Your readiness always to jump into
1:08:52
sharing of the things of the Spirit. Your readiness
1:08:56
to jump into sharing of the things of the Spirit.
1:08:59
How ready are you? How ready are you? When you
1:09:03
say, give a word of prophecy, how ready are you?
1:09:06
When we say, give a word of wisdom, how ready
1:09:10
are you? When you say, sing, give us a song,
1:09:14
give us a hymn, how ready are you by the Spirit?
1:09:22
Can you trigger the flow of the things of the
1:09:25
spirit by how passionate you are? Can you get
1:09:33
into a place? Let me repeat the line. Can you
1:09:36
trigger the things of the spirit by how passionate
1:09:41
you are? When you get into a place and the place
1:09:45
is dry, the atmosphere is dark. The atmosphere
1:09:48
is so choked. Can you be able to start out a
1:09:53
move of the Holy Ghost? Can you be able to start
1:09:55
out a flow of the things of the Spirit? You can
1:10:03
check your fervency by how daily you practice
1:10:06
more and more the things of the Spirit. You can
1:10:15
check it, how daily you practice more and more
1:10:18
the things of the Spirit. When it comes to the
1:10:22
flow and the manifestation of the things of the
1:10:25
Spirit, you start it out. You have to start out.
1:10:30
Have a kind of attitude that initiate the things
1:10:34
of God. Have a kind of attitude that initiate
1:10:37
the flow of the things of the Spirit. When you
1:10:42
get into a place, Haven't we read in Acts chapter
1:10:46
6? He said, let's get amidst us men that are
1:10:50
full of faith. Men that are full of the Holy
1:10:53
Ghost and wisdom. Men that can start out the
1:10:59
flow of the things of the Spirit. Men that are
1:11:02
yielded to the things of the Spirit. Men that
1:11:05
can easily be moved by the impulses of the Holy
1:11:09
Ghost. Always have a hunger. Always have a hunger
1:11:16
by yielding to the Holy Ghost more. And then
1:11:22
lastly, always be ready to use your faith, brother.
1:11:27
Always be ready to use your faith, sister. Always
1:11:32
be ready to put your faith into action. Always
1:11:35
be ready to put your faith into action. Be on
1:11:39
the front on the use of your faith. Be on the
1:11:42
floor on the use of your faith. Regarding the
1:11:45
things of the Holy Ghost. Regarding the manifestational
1:11:48
things of the Spirit. You are the one to stay
1:11:52
up. You are the one to flow in the things of
1:11:55
the Spirit. Can we pray in the Holy Ghost, wheresoever
1:11:58
you are right now? Can you pray in tongues? Can
1:12:02
