  Be thou exalted. In Jesus' name we pray. There's
• 1:51
  somebody, probably you're connected to, if you're
• 1:54
  online or you're here, or you know somebody that
• 1:58
  is connected here. Or you're connected to the
• 2:00
  person. Right? But I see or I hear or I perceive
• 2:06
  in my heart somebody with the name Stephanie.
• 2:11
  Right? Probably you know somebody with the name
• 2:13
  Stephanie. Or you're here or you're online, you're
• 2:17
  listening. One of the things that Jesus is doing
• 2:22
  in your life this morning is that he's healing
• 2:26
  you of traumas. You know, I got into this hall,
• 2:32
  I still had it clearly. Jesus is healing that
• 2:35
  person. He's healing Stephanie. Stephanie, whether
• 2:37
  you're online, you're hearing, or you know somebody
• 2:40
  connected to that name, right? Reach out to the
• 2:43
  person. The Holy Ghost is healing the person
• 2:48
  of trauma. Trauma. In fact, I see childhood trauma.
• 2:57
  You have held so much to it. But it's time to
• 3:00
  let it go. Hallelujah. It's time to let it go.
• 3:04
  Hallelujah. Because the Holy Ghost has stepped
• 3:06
  in. Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Yes, we are going
• 3:10
  to hear that before the day runs out. Glory to
• 3:13
  Jesus. Are we all here? Has anyone received a
• 3:17
  word here? Sorry. Any word, any word, any word?
• 3:24
  This is Karatismos. That's how we're going to
• 3:25
  be doing it. okay yes let's hear your word there
• 3:39
  will be free flow of the supernatural way in
• 3:45
  this meeting can we rejoice glory hallelujah
• 3:49
  yes another word again by the spirit by the spirit
• 3:54
  yes sir To do more. Hallelujah. You have been
• 4:21
  desirous. You've been feeling that there is more.
• 4:23
  God is calling you into more, more, more. Hallelujah.
• 4:28
  Yes, so what God is doing in this season is that
• 4:30
  he's bringing strength to you to step out. He's
• 4:33
  bringing strength to you to take action. Hallelujah.
• 4:35
  Can we rejoice? Glory! Hallelujah. Yes, word
• 4:41
  again. Before we start. Yes, sir. If not, when
• 4:48
  we start, everybody will give a word. Hallelujah.
• 4:52
  I think when we trust the end of the prayer,
• 4:55
  one thing that... It came to my spirit is, you
• 4:58
  know, the yearnings and the desires in the hearts
• 5:00
  of majority of people in this room. And the majority
• 5:05
  of us also, we are yearning to see the tangible
• 5:10
  expressions of the gifts and the way by which
• 5:15
  we will remain committed or we will remain active.
• 5:21
  The Spirit will find expression through us is
• 5:23
  when we spend quality time with God. And one
• 5:27
  thing that I saw clearly is the fact that when
• 5:30
  we tarry with the Lord as we are charged up,
• 5:32
  as we tarry with the Lord, we receive directly
• 5:34
  from the mind of God. And when we receive from
• 5:38
  the mind of God, we are able to be a blessing
• 5:40
  to people. We have all the abilities in us. We
• 5:43
  have all the capacity in us. To be a blessing
• 5:46
  in the demonstration of the spirit. In diverse
• 5:49
  ways. In words of knowledge. In words of wisdom.
• 5:51
  In prophecy. In healing. In even knowing things
• 5:54
  concerning people. But what God is bringing us
• 5:57
  into. Is to bring us into our identity. That
• 6:03
  we will see all that he has worked in us. And
• 6:05
  the way by which this will be expressed massively.
• 6:09
  Is by we spending time with him. Even in our
• 6:12
  secret place. That we will have this. ability
• 6:16
  to know how he works he will show us his ways
• 6:18
  and his path and we will be of a blessing to
• 6:21
  many people so the reason why oftentimes we don't
• 6:25
  see ourselves express much more of god is that
• 6:28
  we don't spend time with him so what god is doing
• 6:30
  in this season he's saying that he's bringing
• 6:32
  us into a place that we know all that we have
• 6:34
  all that he has done in us and not only that
• 6:37
  we know but we know how to operate in it and
• 6:40
  the simplest way by which we can walk fully in
• 6:43
  the expression of all that is in us is when we
• 6:45
  depend on him we're spending time with him in
• 6:48
  a secret place and we're not just spending time
• 6:50
  with him just to receive uh just to to present
• 6:53
  our request we are spending time to just hear
• 6:55
  him as he leads us that is how we will see effectiveness
• 6:59
  in our ministry when we spend time with him spending
• 7:02
  time with God, knowing his ways, even the specific
• 7:05
  meetings. As we go out, before we go out, we
• 7:08
  spend time with God. God will show us the things
• 7:09
  to do. He will show us what to do. He will show
• 7:12
  us who to do, who to go to, and what specific
• 7:15
  things we will meet on the path. Our hearts will
• 7:17
  be illuminated with the insight of the things
• 7:20
  that we will come across. And we rejoice. Glory.
• 7:51
  Hallelujah. John chapter 3. John chapter 3 verse
• 7:56
  14. Let's just a little bit retrace backwards
• 7:59
  and then get it from there. I remember I told
• 8:01
  us to write belly, right? Yes. So John chapter
• 8:05
  3. Let's go back to that John chapter 3. You
• 8:08
  know, there has been a conversation between Nicodemus
• 8:10
  and then Jesus, right? About the water and the
• 8:13
  spirit that has to do with being born again and
• 8:16
  then entering into the kingdom. Hallelujah. Yes.
• 8:19
  And then now, we now see what Jesus will tell
• 8:21
  him in verse 12. He said, if I have told you
• 8:24
  earthly things and ye believe not, how shall
• 8:26
  ye believe if I tell you of what? Of heavenly
• 8:29
  things. Hallelujah. And he said, and no man had
• 8:32
  ascended up to heaven, but he that came down
• 8:34
  from heaven, even the Son of Man, who is in what?
• 8:38
  In heaven. 14 now. He said, and as Moses lifted
• 8:41
  up serpent in the wilderness, even so must the
• 8:44
  Son of Man be what? Be lifted up. Glory to Jesus.
• 8:48
  That whosoever believeth in him shall not perish,
• 8:51
  but have what? So, when will we believe, right?
• 8:55
  To have eternal life from the lifting up of Jesus.
• 8:59
  Amen? He said the Son of Man will be lifted up.
• 9:02
  Then whosoever believeth in him will not perish,
• 9:04
  but have what? Eternal life. Then now he now
• 9:07
  says, for God so loved the world that he gave
• 9:09
  his only begotten Son, right? That begotten Son
• 9:13
  now is lifted up. Glory to Jesus. And then now,
• 9:17
  whosoever believeth in him shall not, what? Perish,
• 9:20
  but have, what? Everlasting life. Are we all
• 9:23
  here? Yes. Good. So, and then we now said that
• 9:26
  being lifted up is not as he just, just we see
• 9:29
  just Jesus would just be standing and then some
• 9:32
  form of wind will just elevate him up and then
• 9:34
  he's in the air and everybody that just look
• 9:36
  at him and suddenly, literally as what Moses
• 9:39
  did. Amen. But we see now, Jesus will refer back
• 9:43
  to Numbers, what happened, right? Regarding what
• 9:46
  Moses did to the children of Israel, right? When
• 9:49
  the serpent will now strike them. They look up
• 9:52
  at the serpent and then they are healed. Amen.
• 9:55
  So now, why would Jesus say that John chapter
• 9:58
  12, now let's look at John chapter 12 verse 32
• 10:00
  to see what he meant by saying, if the son of
• 10:02
  man be lifted up as Moses lifted up serpent in
• 10:07
  the wilderness. See John chapter 12 verse 32.
• 10:10
  He said, and if, and I, if I be lifted up from
• 10:13
  the earth, I will draw all men, what? Unto me,
• 10:17
  33. This he said, signifying what dead he shall
• 10:22
  what? What dead he shall what? So, what was Jesus
• 10:26
  saying? If he said, if I be lifted up, he was
• 10:29
  talking about his what? He's talking about his
• 10:32
  death. Amen? So, from his death. From his resurrection,
• 10:37
  whosoever believeth, right, will not perish but
• 10:41
  have what? Everlasting life. So we understand
• 10:44
  what it means when Jesus is saying that if I
• 10:46
  be what? Lift her up. He is signifying his what?
• 10:50
  His death. Glory to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. Yeah,
• 10:54
  so where was he caught in from? Right? Numbers
• 10:58
  chapter 21 verse 9. Everybody, let's go there.
• 11:01
  Numbers chapter 21 verse 9. Numbers 21 verse
• 11:10
  9. And Moses made a serpent of brass and put
• 11:16
  it upon a what? A pole. And it came to pass that
• 11:20
  if a serpent had beaten any man, when he beheld
• 11:23
  the serpent of brass, he what? He leave it. Glory
• 11:29
  to Jesus. Yes, so Jesus was speaking from this
• 11:32
  typology of events. that happened with the children
• 11:35
  of israelites he said the same thing that we
• 11:38
  see that has happened there is the same experience
• 11:41
  or the same event that is going to happen with
• 11:43
  me and people will what will leave but you see
• 11:48
  this kind of living is not the living that the
• 11:50
  children of israelite had because they lived
• 11:53
  and died but he said from this similar event
• 11:58
  that will happen Right? So what he's saying is
• 12:01
  that Jesus will use this earthly event to communicate
• 12:04
  about an heavenly, what? Reality that is going
• 12:08
  to happen. Because now, his point of speaking
• 12:12
  is about eternal life. Glory to Jesus. Yeah,
• 12:16
  so that if I be lifted up, signifying my death,
• 12:20
  burial and resurrection, from there now, people
• 12:22
  will have not life, but they will have everlasting,
• 12:26
  what? Everlasting life. Glory to Jesus. Good.
• 12:29
  So, now, we know what being lifted up is. Are
• 12:32
  we all here? So, now, from that place now, we
• 12:37
  now... We connect back again to where we've been
• 12:44
  reading about water, right? We said that he will
• 12:47
  use the term water to signify or speak about
• 12:52
  newness, freshness. Glory to Jesus. John 7, 37
• 12:57
  to 39. Let's go back to John 7. I hope we remember
• 13:03
  where we came from. We came from Ezekiel, right?
• 13:06
  We came from Ezekiel. And then we are talking
• 13:09
  about the spirit indwelling the believer. Amen.
• 13:13
  And then the prophecy that Ezekiel gave about
• 13:15
  what God is going to do to the house of Israel
• 13:17
  is that he will do what? He first told them that,
• 13:20
  you know, among the hidden, they profaned his
• 13:22
  name. But what he's going to do is that he will
• 13:25
  what? He will remove them from the hidden. He's
• 13:27
  removing, let me put it this way. He's removing
• 13:29
  them from unbelief. That's what salvation does.
• 13:32
  So salvation removes you from what? From unbelief.
• 13:35
  So he's removing them from unbelief. He will
• 13:38
  cleanse them. He will wash them. He will give
• 13:40
  them a new heart and he will put his spirit in
• 13:44
  them. And then we now see also that what Jesus
• 13:49
  will say in John chapter 4 about the living water
• 13:52
  he is giving. is that I will give you a living
• 13:56
  water. And he said that living water will be
• 13:59
  in whosoever that comes to me to drink it. And
• 14:05
  from within him, right, there will be a springing
• 14:09
  up of well. And then out of, we see, that well,
• 14:14
  he said it will spring up what? Into what? Everlasting
• 14:17
  life. Are we all here? Yeah, so we did that.
• 14:21
  Yesterday, somebody said, why are we taking this
• 14:24
  time? We are taking this time because we are
• 14:26
  building conviction. Conviction upon what? Conviction.
• 14:31
  You have this reality, let me put it this way,
• 14:34
  at the tip of your finger. I think either Pastor
• 14:41
  Victor or Pastor Ima, I think Pastor Victor,
• 14:44
  he said it's not about quoting, quoting, quoting,
• 14:45
  quoting, quoting, quoting, quoting, quoting.
• 14:49
  So after you quote, Then what next? The scriptures
• 14:55
  must become conviction for the believer, not
• 14:58
  information for the believer. Do you hear what
• 15:02
  I just said? The scriptures must become what?
• 15:05
  Convictions for the believer. Because you see,
• 15:07
  this letter, what powers this letter is the spirit
• 15:10
  of God. I think Pastor Victor taught us from
• 15:15
  John chapter, is it six, right? Yes, John chapter
• 15:19
  six. Right? We read that place all through to
• 15:23
  63. The Spirit giveth what? Life. So what gives
• 15:30
  life that we are discussing? Greater works. Yesterday
• 15:33
  I started out by saying that greater works are
• 15:36
  the works of the Holy Ghost in the what? In the
• 15:39
  believer. Or another way you put it, the continuation
• 15:43
  of Jesus' work on the earth in and through the
• 15:47
  believer by the Holy Ghost. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
• 15:51
  Yes, so he's powered by the Spirit of God. So
• 15:56
  John chapter 7 now. John chapter 7. John chapter
• 16:01
  7. John chapter 7 verse 37. In the last day,
• 16:09
  that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and
• 16:11
  cried saying, if any man thirsts, let him come
• 16:14
  unto me and what? And drink. We see water again
• 16:16
  and drinking. He that believeth on me as the
• 16:19
  scripture hath what? Said. Had the scripture
• 16:22
  hath said, Out of his belly shall flow what?
• 16:25
  Rivers of living water. But this spake he of
• 16:31
  the Spirit, which they that believe on him shall
• 16:34
  what? Receive. So he was talking about water.
• 16:38
  But now we see that now in the next communication,
• 16:40
  he's saying that what? That speaking of water
• 16:43
  he's talking about, he's speaking about what?
• 16:45
  The Spirit. glory to jesus for the holy ghost
• 16:49
  was not yet given because that jesus was not
• 16:51
  yet yet what glorified we can if it's your bible
• 16:54
  you can say because jesus was not yet lifted
• 16:56
  up it's the same thing amen well we just read
• 17:01
  now in john chapter 12 that he was signifying
• 17:03
  his what his death if i be lifted up i will draw
• 17:08
  all men what unto me so the spirit had not yet
• 17:13
  been what given because jesus was not yet what
• 17:16
  lifted up and when we say being lifted up we
• 17:19
  mean what his dead burial and what a resurrection
• 17:21
  okay good perfect so now and then we now from
• 17:27
  that place now that we read we now said um we
• 17:32
  wrote a word belly right yeah so the word belly
• 17:35
  is from the word koilia it's not koila that word
• 17:50
  is from the greek word koilia koilia so it's
• 17:56
  not the english term that we use koilia k -o
• 18:01
  -i -l -i -a which implies to mean the womb the
• 18:07
  womb or the innermost being the womb or the innermost
• 18:14
  being where something begins or something is
• 18:17
  born. Glory to Jesus. It refers to or it implies
• 18:21
  to what? The womb where something begins. Innermost
• 18:24
  being where something begins or what? Or something
• 18:29
  is born. It's the same thing that we see where
• 18:35
  we read in John chapter 3. Let's go there very
• 18:37
  fast. In John chapter 3 verse 4, he said, Nicodemus
• 18:40
  said unto him, How can a man be born when he
• 18:44
  is old? Can he enter the second time into his
• 18:47
  mother's coilia and be born? Can he enter into
• 18:53
  his mother's womb, right? Into his mother's belly
• 18:57
  and be what? And be born? So from there now,
• 19:06
  we say out of his belly shall flow. The word
• 19:11
  flow means Rio. So out of his belly, out of his
• 19:17
  womb, out of his innermost being, right? Shall
• 19:20
  flow. So the word flow is Rio. R -H -E -O. R
• 19:26
  -H -E -O. Rio. Which implies giving up, giving
• 19:31
  of something. Pouring something out. Giving something
• 19:38
  out, pouring something out, out of his koilia,
• 19:43
  right? Shalrio, giving something, pouring something
• 19:48
  out. So what Jesus was speaking, he was not referring
• 19:56
  to something literal, just like the river, right?
• 19:58
  I stay around the river side, right? We have
• 20:02
  the river Benue move around our axis. He was
• 20:08
  not talking about literal river. He was not talking
• 20:11
  about out of his belly, out of Custon's belly
• 20:14
  shall flow rivers. Come on now. So imagine now
• 20:18
  you see me as I'm standing here. Water is flowing
• 20:21
  out of me. So Jesus will have not been speaking
• 20:26
  something literal. Glory to Jesus. He will not
• 20:29
  be speaking something literal. So, but hence,
• 20:34
  what Jesus was communicating about rivers will
• 20:36
  flow, he's communicating about there is something,
• 20:39
  there is an abundance. There's an abundance of
• 20:44
  a reality that will flow out of his what? Out
• 20:47
  of his belly. So that word rivers, what Jesus
• 20:55
  was talking about is there will be a gushing.
• 20:59
  Right? That rivers, they say there will be a
• 21:02
  what? a gushing so if you check you see talking
• 21:05
  about there will be a gushing an abundance of
• 21:12
  rio but you see careful now that place he said
• 21:18
  out of his belly shall flow rivers not what not
• 21:23
  river glory to jesus so which means that That
• 21:29
  gushing, that abundance flow, that pouring out
• 21:32
  that will be coming out of his belly, right,
• 21:35
  will be more than what? One place. So when it
• 21:42
  flows, it will be beyond one place. It will be
• 21:46
  happening in many places. Is that clear? It will
• 21:51
  be happening in many places. So a big question
• 21:54
  will be, whose belly? Whose belly? will the rivers
• 21:59
  be what be flowing from whose belly out of his
• 22:06
  belly shall flow out of my belly shall flow rivers
• 22:11
  rivers of living water so is the scripture saying
• 22:21
  that it's out of your belly because that scripture
• 22:24
  says that out of his what belly did he say that
• 22:28
  you are the one did he put your name there did
• 22:32
  he say out of the believer out of the believer's
• 22:35
  belly so whose belly they like changing so many
• 22:50
  songs they'll be changing changing changing changing
• 22:52
  changing we have to change it so that it will
• 22:55
  align With our realities in Christ Jesus. Glory
• 23:01
  to Jesus. So, verse 38 now says, let's go to
• 23:06
  38. He that believeth on me, as the scripture
• 23:08
  has said, out of his belly shall what? Flow rivers
• 23:12
  of what? Living water. Right? But this spake
• 23:18
  he of the Spirit, which they that believe on
• 23:21
  him shall receive, for the Holy Ghost was not
• 23:23
  yet given. Because that Jesus was not yet what?
• 23:28
  Glorified. So he was speaking about what? The
• 23:31
  Spirit. The Spirit will be flowing. Is it from
• 23:35
  you? Because we are talking about the Spirit,
• 23:38
  right? So the Spirit will be. So where will the
• 23:41
  source of the Spirit be from? That's what the
• 23:44
  scripture is saying. Out of his belly shall flow
• 23:46
  rivers of living water. And we say he is speaking
• 23:50
  about the Spirit. So the spirit is going to flow
• 23:54
  from whose belly? Amen. Glory to Jesus. And he
• 24:02
  says that because Jesus was not yet what? Glorified.
• 24:07
  So what that scripture is now saying is that
• 24:09
  because Jesus is not yet glorified, yet we are
• 24:14
  not yet seeing the giving of the spirit. Is that
• 24:18
  clear? Are we all here? Good. So now, what we
• 24:23
  now see again about out of his belly or the belly,
• 24:28
  the word womb, right? What Jesus is speaking
• 24:31
  clearly from this scripture, he's talking about
• 24:33
  is upon my glorification. Because he said now
• 24:37
  that, as the scripture says, out of his belly
• 24:40
  shall flow rivers of living water. This he spoke
• 24:44
  of he, right? But this spoke he of what? of the
• 24:49
  spirit. He is not speaking about custom. He is
• 24:53
  not speaking about color. He is not speaking
• 24:55
  about sweetness. He is not, you know, he is speaking,
• 24:58
  he is speaking of what? He, the spirit. That
• 25:02
  day, that belief on him should what? Receive,
• 25:05
  for the Holy Ghost was not yet what? Giving.
• 25:08
  So the Holy Ghost will be giving upon the reality
• 25:11
  of an event. And that event is that Jesus needs
• 25:16
  to be glorified. Are you all with me on that
• 25:20
  verse? He said, because Jesus was not yet glorified,
• 25:23
  so the Spirit has not been yet what? Given. But
• 25:26
  when Jesus is glorified, the Spirit will be what?
• 25:28
  Will be given. And they that believe on Jesus
• 25:31
  will now receive the Spirit. So what we are saying
• 25:36
  is that Jesus' glorification guarantees the pouring
• 25:39
  out of the Spirit. That they that believe on
• 25:45
  Him will now receive the Spirit. So when he says,
• 25:50
  out of his belly shall flow, he's talking about
• 25:53
  the belly that will pour out the rivers of living
• 25:57
  water will be upon Jesus' glorification. His
• 26:01
  resurrection. So his death, his burial, and his
• 26:06
  what? His resurrection. He says, how did we know?
• 26:16
  Just simply, 738 says, he that believeth on me
• 26:19
  as the scripture has what? Had said. So that
• 26:25
  phrase, as the scripture had said, Pastor Victor
• 26:28
  emphasized this during his session. He said the
• 26:31
  whole of the scripture has one essence. One message.
• 26:36
  One. From Genesis to Revelation, one message.
• 26:42
  One essence. What's the message? Christ Jesus.
• 26:50
  And we have learned so much in this church to
• 26:53
  know that when we say, as the scripture, when
• 26:55
  Jesus said, as the scripture had said, what do
• 26:58
  you think he's referring to? Huh? Huh? What did
• 27:09
  he say? Genesis to what? To Malachi. I'll say
• 27:18
  something, but I'll not say it. You see, often
• 27:23
  when you see Jesus, when he says something, often
• 27:26
  you will now see that he said this thing that
• 27:29
  it may be fulfilled by what prophet Isaiah had
• 27:32
  said. Often you see the scripture in the gospels,
• 27:35
  right? He said, this happened that it may be
• 27:38
  fulfilled, right? Of what prophet Isaiah had
• 27:41
  said. But now we see that we're not seeing that
• 27:43
  the prophet Isaiah had said. We're not seeing
• 27:45
  Ezekiel has said. But we are seeing Jesus saying,
• 27:48
  as the scripture had what? Had said, out of his
• 27:51
  belly shall flow what? Rivers of living water.
• 27:57
  And we say the scripture has one message. Don't
• 28:00
  ever in this church hold this reality. The whole
• 28:04
  of the scripture has one essence, one message.
• 28:06
  Christ Jesus is dead, burial and what? Resurrection.
• 28:10
  Amen. John chapter 1 verse 45. John chapter 1
• 28:18
  verse 45. John chapter 1 verse 45. Philip found
• 28:27
  Nathaniel and said unto him, We have found him
• 28:32
  of whom Moses in the law and the prophets did
• 28:38
  write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of who? The
• 28:43
  son of Joseph. And Nathanael said unto him, Can
• 28:47
  there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip
• 28:50
  said unto him, Come and what? And see. We have
• 28:55
  found him. We have found him of whom Moses in
• 29:04
  the law and the prophets have what? Did write
• 29:09
  or did speak about. So we say that the whole
• 29:13
  of the scripture has one essence. Christ Jesus.
• 29:17
  And we see them saying, we have found him of
• 29:20
  whom Moses and all the prophets have what? Spoken
• 29:25
  about. So the question will be, what is it that
• 29:27
  Moses and all the prophets have spoken about?
• 29:30
  The scripture? Christ Jesus. Is that clear enough?
• 29:35
  Is it clear enough? John 5, 39. John 5, 39. John
• 29:48
  5, 39. Search the scriptures. For in them ye
• 29:55
  think ye have eternal life, and they are they
• 30:00
  which testify of what? So the scriptures testify
• 30:04
  of who? They testify of Jesus. We have found
• 30:08
  him whom Moses and the Lord speak about. And
• 30:11
  now we are reading John chapter 5 verse 39. He's
• 30:13
  saying that for the scriptures testify of who?
• 30:17
  Testify one essence, one message about Christ
• 30:21
  Jesus. So what are we saying in essence? We are
• 30:25
  saying that now, right? That the scriptures testify
• 30:28
  about what? About Christ. So let me ask us now
• 30:36
  with what we have done. Go to John chapter 7
• 30:40
  everybody. So that we close here. I will not
• 30:42
  tell us. We are the ones that will say it. So
• 30:46
  John chapter 7 verse 38. He that believeth on
• 30:49
  me as the scripture hath said. Out of his belly
• 30:53
  shall flow rivers of living water. So the scripture
• 30:56
  is talking about who? Whose belly now? From who
• 31:03
  will the Spirit be? From where? Christ Jesus.
• 31:09
  He's not speaking about you. Amen? What we are
• 31:22
  singing is that we are not saying that out of
• 31:24
  our belly shall flow. What we are saying is that
• 31:26
  it's a reality of the things of the Spirit will
• 31:29
  flow from our inside. We don't have anything
• 31:34
  against it. But you see, as far as this scripture
• 31:38
  is concerned, you're not the one he's talking
• 31:40
  about. He's talking about Christ Jesus. Hallelujah.
• 31:44
  Because what Christ said, as the scripture had
• 31:47
  what? Had said. And then the next verse starting,
• 31:49
  I say, but this speak he. So he's speaking of
• 31:54
  who? Of Christ Jesus. Because from Christ Jesus,
• 32:03
  the spirit will be giving amen so the communication
• 32:06
  here is about christ is about christ jesus and
• 32:09
  the giving of the spirit and this giving of the
• 32:12
  spirit will happen upon what glorification are
• 32:15
  we done here are we done here glory to jesus
• 32:18
  so we see christ will consistently talk about
• 32:24
  the giving of the spirit the giving of the spirit
• 32:27
  the giving of the spirit the giving of the spirit
• 32:29
  wait let me let me all that we have done so far
• 32:31
  is it clear Is there any confusion? Is it clear?
• 32:35
  You're sure? Is it clear? William, is it clear?
• 32:39
  Is it clear? Okay. So you can explain it. You
• 32:43
  can explain it. You're sure? You can explain
• 32:47
  it. Don't do like this. Nancy, you can explain
• 32:50
  this. Okay. At least if there are two, three
• 33:01
  people. that can explain it in my class not here
• 33:04
  all of us can explain it but in my class i mean
• 33:07
  in class in the university you know pastor victor
• 33:13
  said there are some students that they will never
• 33:14
  understand they choose not to understand what
• 33:16
  you're teaching never so at least if you are
• 33:19
  marking the exam i just see one 195 you are glad
• 33:25
  we are done for the semester You can ask my co
• 33:31
  -laborer, you know, in marking scripts. Sometimes
• 33:36
  when they see some things, they are just frustrated.
• 33:38
  Like, serious? What is it? I can't even read
• 33:42
  it. I always say, two people make your life easy
• 33:46
  when you're marking scripts. The dull ones and
• 33:48
  the excellent ones. You know the dull ones, you
• 33:51
  just go... That's all. What do you do? That's
• 34:01
  all. You are done. Yes. Excellent ones. You mark
• 34:08
  it. You are smiling. You are smiling. Everything
• 34:11
  makes sense. I always threaten them. To whom
• 34:17
  much is given, much is expected. If you are an
• 34:19
  excellent student in my class, I will treat you
• 34:22
  in a hard way. I will ensure I read line by line.
• 34:25
  Oh, Jam, why are you doing this? Yes, yes, yes.
• 34:28
  I expect more from you. He says, do you not mean
• 34:31
  that you should not know us? I say, yes, maybe.
• 34:35
  Glory to Jesus. Yes, so now, all that we see,
• 34:39
  the emphasis from Ezekiel to now is about the
• 34:42
  giving of what? Of the Spirit. And that Spirit
• 34:44
  will be received by those who believe on what?
• 34:48
  On Christ Jesus. Amen. So now, John chapter 14,
• 34:52
  verse 16 to 17. So we see lots of scriptures
• 34:54
  where Jesus will give credence, right, to the
• 34:57
  promise of the Holy Ghost. that will be in the
• 35:00
  believer john chapter 14 verse 16 to 17 see what
• 35:05
  the scripture says and i will pray the father
• 35:07
  and he shall give you another comforter that
• 35:09
  he may abide with you how forever even the spirit
• 35:13
  of truth whom the world cannot receive because
• 35:15
  it seared him not neither knoweth him but ye
• 35:17
  know him for he dwelleth where and where will
• 35:20
  the spirit be and shall be where in you in you
• 35:25
  15 26 15, 26. But when the Comforter is come,
• 35:31
  whom I will send unto you from the Father, even
• 35:34
  the Spirit of Christ that is in you, which proceeded
• 35:38
  from the Father, he shall testify of what? Of
• 35:42
  me. John 16, 7 -15. John 16, 7 -15. Nevertheless,
• 35:50
  I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you
• 35:52
  that I go away. For if I go not away, the Comforter
• 35:54
  will not come unto you. But if I depart, I will
• 35:57
  send him where? Unto you. And when he is come,
• 36:00
  he will reprove the world of sin and of righteousness
• 36:02
  and of judgment, of sin because they believe
• 36:05
  not on me, of righteousness because I go to my
• 36:08
  father and ye see me no more, of judgment because
• 36:12
  of the prince of this world is judged. And I
• 36:15
  have yet many things to say unto you, but ye
• 36:17
  cannot bear them. Howbeit when he, the spirit
• 36:20
  of truth, right, is come, he will guide you into
• 36:24
  all truth. For he shall not speak of himself,
• 36:27
  but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak,
• 36:31
  and he will show you things to come. He shall
• 36:34
  glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and
• 36:37
  shall show it unto you. All things that the Father
• 36:41
  hath had are mine. Therefore said I, that he
• 36:44
  shall take of mine and shall show it to who?
• 36:48
  Show it unto you. Hallelujah. John 14, 1, 2.
• 36:56
  John 14, 1, 2. He that hath seen me hath seen
• 37:21
  the what? The Father. And how said thou then,
• 37:24
  show us the Father? Believest not thou that I
• 37:27
  am in the Father? Right? And the Father in me?
• 37:31
  The words that I speak unto you, I speak not
• 37:34
  of myself, but the Father that dwelleth in me,
• 37:36
  he doeth what? The works. Believe me that I am
• 37:41
  in the Father, and the Father in me. Or else,
• 37:44
  believe me for what? For the very works sake.
• 37:47
  Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that believeth,
• 37:51
  what? On me, the works that I do, shall he do
• 37:57
  what? Also. Let's connect something very fast
• 38:01
  so that we can make this fast. Verse 10. Believest
• 38:05
  not thou that I am where? In the Father, and
• 38:09
  the Father where? In me. The works that I speak
• 38:13
  unto you, I speak not what? But the Father that
• 38:17
  dwelleth in me, he dwelleth what? The works.
• 38:21
  Then go to 12 now. The Father in me doeth the
• 38:25
  what? The works. The words that I speak, the
• 38:28
  Father speaks. The works that I do, the Father
• 38:31
  does the works. Right? Now, 12. See, very. Verily,
• 38:34
  verily, I say unto you, he that believeth on
• 38:36
  me, the works that I do, shall he what? Do also.
• 38:44
  So, what's Jesus saying there? Connect verse
• 38:47
  10 to 12 now. Connect 10 and 12. What's he saying
• 38:50
  there? I am in the Father, the Father in me,
• 38:54
  the words that I speak, he speaks through me,
• 38:56
  the works that I do, he does the work through
• 38:58
  me. And then verse 12 says, if you believe on
• 39:00
  me, the works that I do, shall you do also. What's
• 39:03
  that place saying now? 10 and 12. Yes, my helpers,
• 39:08
  helpers. Okay, the Father unites with, I mean,
• 39:12
  in the aspect of works now. The Father will be
• 39:16
  there. The Father is the one working in what?
• 39:19
  In the believer. I am in the Father. The Father
• 39:29
  in me. The words that I speak. The Father speaks.
• 39:32
  The works that I do. The Father does the work.
• 39:34
  But now he's not saying that. If you believe
• 39:36
  in me. What Jesus said now. If you believe in
• 39:40
  the Father also. So the Father will be in you.
• 39:45
  You will be in the Father. The works that you
• 39:48
  have seen, I have done, which the Father doeth
• 39:51
  the work, so also you will, what? Do the work.
• 39:55
  So what Jesus is saying in essence there, is
• 39:57
  that the Father is the one that will be working
• 39:59
  through you. Glory to Jesus. But he didn't only
• 40:06
  stop there. He said, and greater works than these,
• 40:10
  shall he, what? Shall he do, because I go on
• 40:14
  to what? My father. So the father is in the man
• 40:20
  that believes doing the work and also greater
• 40:23
  works. That's why I say greater works are the
• 40:28
  continuation of Jesus' work in and through the
• 40:31
  believer by the Holy Ghost. Do you hear what
• 40:35
  I just said? That greater works are the continuation
• 40:38
  of what? Jesus' work in and through the believer
• 40:42
  by The Holy Ghost. Are we getting where we are
• 40:48
  going? Are we getting it? Glory to Jesus. Because
• 40:56
  all that we've read, now you now see that, he
• 40:58
  said, believe also in me, right? Or believe in
• 41:03
  me, or believes me. Or, yea, believe in God,
• 41:11
  also believe in me. Believe it on me or believe
• 41:14
  me. You see, all these words used. Right? For
• 41:18
  the man that will be in Christ Jesus. John 14,
• 41:29
  12 now. Again, where we are. It's just the way
• 41:33
  we are. It's a very, very, I say unto you, he
• 41:34
  that believeth on me, the works that I do, shall
• 41:36
  he do also. And greater works than these shall
• 41:38
  he do. Because I what? I go to the Father. Big
• 41:42
  question will now be, what work? What work? What
• 41:45
  work? We're going to run over this now because
• 41:48
  we've learned a lot extensively on it. Amen?
• 41:51
  So we're not going to dwell so much on it. John
• 41:54
  10, 38. John 10, 38. John 10, 38. But if I do,
• 42:02
  let's read from verse 37. If I do not the works
• 42:08
  of my father, believe me what? Believe me not.
• 42:10
  But if I do the works of my father, do ye believe
• 42:13
  not on me? Believe the works that ye may know
• 42:19
  and believe that the father is in me and I what?
• 42:23
  And I in him. So the works that I do testify
• 42:28
  that the father is in me. And I am where? I am
• 42:32
  in the Father. I just said something now. The
• 42:37
  works that the believer does should testify that
• 42:41
  the Father is in the believer and the believer
• 42:45
  is in the Father. How? By the Holy Ghost. Glory
• 42:49
  to Jesus. And that's why we're asking, what works?
• 42:56
  John 9, verse 1. Because the communication started
• 42:59
  from there. And Jesus passed by, he saw a man
• 43:03
  who was blind from his birth. Right? And his
• 43:07
  disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did
• 43:10
  sin? This man or his parents, that he was born
• 43:14
  what? That he was born blind. We have learned
• 43:16
  here. So often when they see some of this kind
• 43:19
  of manifestation, they believe that it's a product
• 43:21
  of sin. Right? In verse 3, Jesus answered, Neither
• 43:27
  had this man sinned, nor his parents, but that
• 43:30
  the works of God should be made manifest where?
• 43:34
  In him. We are coming from somewhere. The works
• 43:38
  that I do testify that I am in the Father, and
• 43:40
  the Father is what? Is in me. He said, believe
• 43:43
  me on these works. And if you believe me, the
• 43:46
  works that I do, you will also what? You will
• 43:49
  also do. And greater works than this, you will
• 43:52
  also do. And then now, in verse 3, Jesus is saying
• 43:56
  that, neither had this man seen nor his parents,
• 44:00
  but that the works of God should be made manifest
• 44:03
  in who? In him. Verse 4 now, everybody, pay attention.
• 44:08
  He finished speaking about the works of God should
• 44:10
  be made manifest what? In him. Now see verse
• 44:12
  4 now. He said, I must work the works of him
• 44:16
  that what? That send me while it is day, the
• 44:20
  night cometh when no man can what? Can work.
• 44:24
  We started out by saying, what work was Jesus
• 44:26
  referring to? In verse 3, One of the first works
• 44:31
  that we see that is happening in John 9, 3, we
• 44:33
  see the work of healing. Hallelujah. We see the
• 44:38
  work of what? Of healing. You will never see
• 44:42
  in this scripture, in this whole scripture, right?
• 44:47
  God making provision about sickness. Never. What
• 44:54
  do you see? God is making provision for what?
• 44:56
  For healing. You will never see any promise made
• 45:04
  by God about sickness. But you will see promises
• 45:08
  made by God about what? About healing. In fact,
• 45:12
  let's just cast your mind back to Ezekiel. You
• 45:17
  disdained me. You profaned my name. You lived
• 45:22
  in filthiness. You worshipped idols. You left
• 45:25
  me. But yet, I have turned back again to say,
• 45:30
  I, I, your God, will remove you. I told you to
• 45:34
  be saying, I will punish you. I will ensure enemies
• 45:38
  kill all of you. No. So what works are we seeing
• 45:43
  in verse 3? We are seeing the works of what?
• 45:46
  The works of healing. Neither had this man seen
• 45:50
  nor his parents, but that the works of God should
• 45:52
  be made manifest where? In him. So we see the
• 45:58
  works of healing. Being made manifest. John 14,
• 46:09
  12. Where we just came from. The works of him
• 46:16
  that send me. John 14, 12. So upon my going unto
• 46:38
  the Father, all these events will be a reality
• 46:41
  to the man that believes on me. Hallelujah. The
• 46:44
  works that I do, you will also do. Because I
• 46:47
  go unto what? My Father. So the understanding
• 46:52
  that I've gone to my Father, right? will give
• 46:55
  you that authority to do the works that I what?
• 46:58
  That I do. And even greater. Glory to Jesus.
• 47:07
  I'm trying to see how I can run this because
• 47:09
  we have already done it here. John 14 2 now.
• 47:13
  Do I need to do this or let's do the revision?
• 47:15
  I think it's revision. Yes, because we know this
• 47:18
  now. John 14 2. In my father's house are many
• 47:21
  mansions. Yes, house, house, house, house, house,
• 47:23
  house. His revision. House. Should we close for
• 47:32
  the day? We need coffee break. Okay. Yes. In
• 47:40
  my father's house. Yes. What's house? Oikea.
• 47:44
  Okay. Oikea means what? Huh? Household. Okay.
• 47:52
  How many mansions? Mansions? Monet. Monet means
• 47:56
  what? Dwelling place. Okay, so you have helped
• 48:03
  me cover now a chunk of my work. Amen? So which
• 48:08
  means that now we just need to establish that
• 48:10
  from the scripture. 14 .2 now says that in my
• 48:14
  father's house are many mansions. If it were
• 48:15
  not so, I would have not told you. I go to prepare
• 48:18
  a place for what? For you. Amen? I go to prepare
• 48:22
  a place for you in verse 3. And if I go and prepare
• 48:25
  a place for you, I will come again and receive
• 48:28
  you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may
• 48:33
  be also. This communication, hold it carefully.
• 48:37
  Because Jesus has already said something. He
• 48:41
  said, you are in me. Oh, I am in the Father.
• 48:44
  The Father is in me. The words that I speak,
• 48:47
  he speak at them. The works that I do, he is
• 48:49
  the one that is doing the work. Amen. And then
• 48:52
  now he's not saying, if you believe also on me,
• 48:55
  these works that I do. Amen? He said, the same
• 48:58
  work that I've done or I'm doing, you will also,
• 49:01
  what? Do the works and greater works. So now
• 49:04
  he's not saying that, right? 3, John 14, 3. He
• 49:09
  said, and receive you unto myself, that where
• 49:12
  I am, there ye may be, what? Also, so you see
• 49:16
  that what Jesus will say. The works that I'm
• 49:19
  doing, you will also do because you and Jesus
• 49:21
  are in the same place. Hallelujah. Yeah, so why
• 49:25
  you will do the works? Because you and Jesus,
• 49:28
  what? You are in the same place. This is important.
• 49:31
  Then now, we have already mentioned what oikia
• 49:34
  is. Oikia means house, right? John 4, 53. John
• 49:46
  4, 53. John 4, 53. Conviction upon conviction.
• 49:53
  Jesus said unto them, John 4, 53. So the father
• 49:56
  knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus
• 50:00
  said unto him, thy son liveth, and he himself,
• 50:03
  and he himself believed, and his what? And his
• 50:08
  what? And his whole house. So do you think it's
• 50:14
  the whole building that believed? When he says,
• 50:19
  and his whole house believe. Is he talking about
• 50:22
  the roof, the windows, the doors, the rats, the
• 50:25
  chickens, the lizards? When he says his whole
• 50:28
  house believe, what does he mean? His family.
• 50:34
  So we see household speaking about people. Amen?
• 50:41
  Same word, oikia, household. Talking about what?
• 50:45
  Talking about people. So in that place, the question
• 50:50
  is not about what? A place, but about what? People.
• 50:56
  Mark 3, 24. Mark 3, 24. Please, we have been
• 51:05
  taught so much about context, right? So stay
• 51:07
  with it. Mark 3, 24. And if a kingdom be divided
• 51:11
  against itself, the kingdom cannot stand. 25.
• 51:16
  And if a house be divided against itself, that
• 51:19
  house cannot stand. Do you think he's talking
• 51:20
  about a house breaking itself? What's he talking
• 51:24
  about there? Huh? He's talking about a place
• 51:29
  of people. He's talking about people. Hallelujah.
• 51:33
  So because literally a house cannot divide against
• 51:35
  what? Itself. So we now see a household again.
• 51:40
  So if his household is divided against itself,
• 51:43
  it cannot what? It cannot stand. The same word.
• 51:47
  Mark 6 .4. Mark 6 .4. But Jesus said unto them.
• 51:56
  A prophet is not without honor. But in his own
• 52:00
  country. And among his own king. And in his own
• 52:05
  house. What do you think that scripture will
• 52:08
  be talking about? Same thing. And among his own
• 52:12
  household. His own people. So we can now safely
• 52:18
  say that when we say oikia, speaking about house,
• 52:23
  we are talking about what? Household, people.
• 52:26
  Amen? Glory to Jesus. He now says, in my father's
• 52:31
  house, there are many what? There are many mansions.
• 52:36
  Don't forget, we are talking about oikia. He's
• 52:39
  talking about household, people. In my father's
• 52:41
  family. In my father's people. In my father's
• 52:45
  family. In my father's what? People. Don't forget,
• 52:47
  there's a reason for that. Now, there are many
• 52:49
  what? Mansions. If it were not so, I would have
• 52:54
  not told you I go to prepare what? A place for
• 52:58
  you. So, when Jesus says, in my Father's house,
• 53:04
  let's say for instance now, right? We are speaking
• 53:10
  with you and then you tell me, in my Father's
• 53:14
  house, We have a helipad. You know, two of the
• 53:22
  choppers my father has. One is for me and one
• 53:26
  always, you know. We have a garage with fleets
• 53:31
  of cars. However, every of those descriptions
• 53:35
  are in my father's house. So what does that tell
• 53:39
  you? When you say in my father's house, it tells
• 53:43
  you of what? Please, when we do Bible studies
• 53:49
  like this, don't take your mind and be thinking
• 53:52
  of something supernatural, something big is happening.
• 53:56
  You know, please bring your mind here. When we
• 54:00
  say in my father's house, bring your mind. You
• 54:04
  belong to the house. Thank you. I dropped all
• 54:11
  my currencies in my back there. Amen. Yes. It
• 54:26
  talks about relationship. You see, Jesus will
• 54:30
  say that the father is in me and I am in him.
• 54:34
  I'm not saying that in my father. It tells you
• 54:37
  that I have a relationship with who? With my
• 54:40
  father. This is a relationship. So it's not just
• 54:45
  a family, right? That everybody is on his own.
• 54:49
  Because we just read that if a family is divided
• 54:52
  against itself, it shall not what? Stand. No,
• 54:54
  but this type of family, there is a unity. There
• 54:57
  is a union. There is a relationship. So we said
• 55:04
  the word mansion. I need to say that. Mansion,
• 55:07
  we said the word is what? Mone. Mone is M -O
• 55:10
  -N -E. Right? Mone, M -O -N -E. John 14, 23.
• 55:20
  Let's see where he says that again. John 14,
• 55:23
  23. John 14, 23. He says this. He said, Jesus
• 55:27
  answered and said unto him, If a man love me,
• 55:29
  he will keep my words, and my Father will love
• 55:32
  him, and we will come unto him and make our abode
• 55:37
  with him. That word abode there is the same word
• 55:42
  mone. Amen? It's not speaking literal mansion
• 55:48
  that is in our head. A guy going to Iskele and
• 55:53
  buying a space on the ocean and then sand filling
• 55:57
  it and then building something that is out of
• 55:59
  city. No. The Greek word for that money is not
• 56:05
  talking about that that is in our mind. But rather,
• 56:09
  that word mone, if you check it in the Septuagint
• 56:11
  also, you realize it's talking about a staying
• 56:13
  place, a dwelling place. Amen? And in fact, it's
• 56:20
  not only a dwelling place, an individual dwelling
• 56:23
  place. So in my father's family, there is what?
• 56:31
  There is an individual dwelling place. There's
• 56:39
  a place where an individual stays. Hallelujah.
• 56:43
  In my father's family. That's the word mentioned
• 56:50
  there. The word prepare. The word prepare means
• 56:54
  hitoi mazo. It actually means to make ready.
• 56:59
  To make ready. Verse 2 says, I go to prepare
• 57:07
  a place for you. In my father's household, in
• 57:11
  my father's family, there are many spots, individual
• 57:16
  places. If it were not so, I would have what?
• 57:22
  Told you, I go to prepare what? A place for you.
• 57:27
  So what Jesus is saying, is that I go to prepare
• 57:31
  spots, places, that many will come into this
• 57:36
  family. Glory to Jesus. It will not only be me
• 57:40
  and the Father. It will not be a relationship
• 57:43
  between only the Father and myself. But now it
• 57:46
  will be a relationship, what? Of many. That's
• 57:48
  why you see, you say, whosoever thirsts, shall
• 57:51
  come and drink. Whosoever thirsts, shall come
• 57:54
  and what? Drink. It will be... A place for many,
• 57:58
  many, many. In fact, the way I was preparing,
• 58:01
  it came to my mind. He said, in God's family,
• 58:05
  we have money that can take the 7 point something
• 58:09
  billion of us on the earth. Glory to Jesus. So
• 58:15
  you see, why we now say, with me. God wins billions
• 58:19
  of souls with me. He takes over territories.
• 58:23
  What we are saying in essence, in our father's
• 58:26
  family, billions of souls can still join that
• 58:30
  family. What are we saying? We cannot exhaust
• 58:36
  that. Hallelujah. So what we are saying in essence,
• 58:48
  that in my father's family, we will be many.
• 58:51
  Hallelujah. We will be what? We will be many.
• 58:54
  Greater works. We will be many. It will not just
• 59:00
  be a few of us. We will be many. So he says,
• 59:08
  if I go, that word, if I go to prepare, I say
• 59:11
  that word prepare is what? H -E -T -O -I -M -A
• 59:15
  -Z -O. H -E -T -O -I -M -A -Z -O. It means I
• 59:19
  go to make ready. I go to make ready. That's
• 59:26
  the word hitomazo. H -E -T -O -I -M -A -Z -O.
• 59:30
  I go to make necessary preparations. I go to
• 59:36
  get everything ready. Hallelujah. I make everything
• 59:47
  ready. I make it fit. For every one of us to
• 59:51
  dwell in. Then he now says. Where I am. He says
• 59:58
  where I am. There ye may be what? Also. Where
• 1:00:04
  I am. Where I stand. That is where you will what?
• 1:00:09
  You will stand. Where are we going to stand?
• 1:00:11
  In the father's family. Hallelujah. So you see
• 1:00:15
  now. That will validate where we're coming from.
• 1:00:18
  When Jesus will say, I am in the Father and the
• 1:00:21
  Father is in me. And when you believe, also you
• 1:00:25
  become part of what? The family. So the works
• 1:00:28
  that I do, the Father does the work. Now the
• 1:00:30
  work you will do, right? Also the Father will
• 1:00:33
  do what? Will do the work through you. Because
• 1:00:36
  you are part of the family. So the works are
• 1:00:42
  not left only for Jesus, but the works also will
• 1:00:45
  continue in the believer. Hallelujah. They will
• 1:00:49
  continue in the believer. So where Jesus is standing,
• 1:00:57
  there also I am standing. Glory to Jesus. John
• 1:01:02
  14, 11, see. He said, believe me that I am in
• 1:01:05
  the Father and the Father in me, or else believe
• 1:01:07
  me for the very what? For the very work's sake.
• 1:01:12
  And we say, where is Jesus? Jesus is in the Father.
• 1:01:16
  The Father is in Jesus. I am in the Father. And
• 1:01:19
  the Father is in me also. Glory to Jesus. John
• 1:01:27
  14, 18 now. John 14, 18. I will not leave you
• 1:01:31
  comfortless. I will come to you. Yet a little
• 1:01:34
  while, and the world will see me no more. But
• 1:01:37
  ye see me because I live. Ye shall what? Ye shall
• 1:01:40
  live. Also. 19. Yet a little while and the world
• 1:01:45
  will see me. No more. And ye see me because I
• 1:01:47
  live. Ye shall what? Live also. 20. At that day,
• 1:01:52
  ye shall know that I am in the Father. Ha! And
• 1:01:56
  ye in me. And I where? And I in you. Let's read
• 1:02:02
  it again carefully. 20. At that day, ye shall
• 1:02:08
  know that I am what? And ye in, and I in, and
• 1:02:16
  I in you. 1426. So how is this reality going
• 1:02:24
  to happen? But the Comforter, who is the Holy
• 1:02:28
  Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name,
• 1:02:30
  he shall teach you all things and bring all things
• 1:02:34
  to your remembrance, whatsoever I have what?
• 1:02:37
  I have said to you. 15, 26. We read it again.
• 1:02:43
  We are going back to it. But when the comforter
• 1:02:45
  is come, whom I will send unto what? Let's connect
• 1:02:50
  this now, carefully. Everybody, let's connect
• 1:02:53
  it. John 14, 11. Pay attention. John 14, 20.
• 1:03:00
  Sorry. 14, 20. At that day, ye shall know that
• 1:03:04
  I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in...
• 1:03:10
  The father in me. I am in the father. And I am
• 1:03:14
  in. In you. Then now I now say. Let's read. John
• 1:03:20
  what? 1526. But when the comforter is come. Whom
• 1:03:24
  I will. Whom I will. Send to who. Let's talk
• 1:03:32
  now. Whom I will send. From the father. Even
• 1:03:36
  the spirit of truth. Who proceeded from the father.
• 1:03:38
  He shall what? Testify of me. I will send him
• 1:03:43
  where? To you. 16, 7. Nevertheless, I tell you
• 1:03:49
  the truth. It is expedient for you that I go.
• 1:03:51
  For if I go not away, the comforter will not
• 1:03:54
  what? Can you see? Consistency. I will send him
• 1:03:58
  to you. He will come to you. He will be in you.
• 1:04:04
  Amen. So what Jesus is saying, by saying that
• 1:04:07
  I will be in you, I will be in you through the
• 1:04:11
  comforter. Hallelujah. Are we all on the same
• 1:04:17
  place? Are we all on the same place? Good. Because
• 1:04:25
  that's 16, 16. Let's check 16, 16. John 16, 16.
• 1:04:29
  He said, a little while and ye shall not see
• 1:04:31
  me. And again, a little while and when ye shall
• 1:04:33
  see me. because i go to what i go to the father
• 1:04:37
  so that what a little while means temporal temporal
• 1:04:43
  a little while you will see me a little while
• 1:04:47
  you will not what see me temporal temporal 22
• 1:04:57
  now 16 that's 16 20 sorry john 16 20. Verily,
• 1:05:03
  verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and
• 1:05:05
  lament, but the world shall rejoice, and ye shall
• 1:05:08
  be sorrowful. But your sorrow shall be turned
• 1:05:10
  into what? But your sorrow shall be turned into
• 1:05:13
  what? Hallelujah. A woman, when she is in travail,
• 1:05:17
  had sorrow, because her hour is come. But as
• 1:05:22
  soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembered
• 1:05:24
  no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born
• 1:05:28
  into what? 22. and ye now therefore have what
• 1:05:33
  but i will see you and your heart shall and your
• 1:05:39
  joy no man what take care it what away from you
• 1:05:45
  hallelujah away from you so that what little
• 1:05:53
  i said what temporal in greek it means micron
• 1:05:56
  or micron m -i -k -r -o -n is from the from the
• 1:06:03
  root words micros or micros m -i -k -r -o -s
• 1:06:07
  little micron from the root word micros m -i
• 1:06:14
  -k -r -o -s same spelling and i told i missed
• 1:06:18
  temporal it means short time small time a short
• 1:06:24
  distance so what jesus was telling them in a
• 1:06:27
  short time you will not see me and in a short
• 1:06:30
  time you will what You will see me. So it's the
• 1:06:35
  same word that is used in Matthew 26. Write these
• 1:06:37
  scriptures. Matthew 26, 39. Matthew 26, 39. Matthew
• 1:06:43
  26, 73. Matthew 26, 73. It's the same word. Have
• 1:06:56
  you written that down? Then now, John 15, 26,
• 1:06:59
  where we read, he said, I will... John 15, 26.
• 1:07:05
  He said, I will send the comforter unto you from
• 1:07:09
  what? From the Father. Hallelujah. Same place
• 1:07:15
  in John 6, 7. He said, I will send the comforter
• 1:07:18
  unto you from the Father. So what Jesus meant
• 1:07:22
  by saying a little while or in a short time,
• 1:07:25
  microns, microns or micron, right? In a short
• 1:07:28
  time, in a short distance, I will go, you will
• 1:07:33
  not see me. And then you will now what? See me
• 1:07:36
  again. What he was talking about, he was talking
• 1:07:38
  about that three days you will not see me. In
• 1:07:42
  three days and three nights, right? In my death,
• 1:07:46
  burial and resurrection, you will not see me.
• 1:07:48
  And yet what? you will see me again we're gonna
• 1:07:59
  quickly just put put a stop to this and then
• 1:08:02
  we we move on write it a little while what he
• 1:08:07
  meant by saying in this temporary time he was
• 1:08:10
  referring to about what the three days and three
• 1:08:13
  nights of the event of the cross the three days
• 1:08:16
  and three nights of the events of the cross He
• 1:08:24
  said, when I go, you will sorrow because physically
• 1:08:26
  you will not be with me. Right? You will sorrow.
• 1:08:30
  That sorrow is not talking about spiritual sorrow.
• 1:08:32
  No, it means you're going to cry. You're going
• 1:08:34
  to miss me. He said, but no, that's not what's
• 1:08:36
  going on. In a short time, you're going to also
• 1:08:38
  what? See me because I'll come to you. He said,
• 1:08:42
  your sorrow will be turned into what? Into joy.
• 1:08:46
  John 20, 17. John 20, 17. Everybody. Jesus said
• 1:08:52
  unto her, taught me not for I am not yet ascended
• 1:08:55
  to my father, but go to my brethren and say unto
• 1:08:59
  them, I ascend unto my father and your, I ascend
• 1:09:04
  unto my father and your father and to my God
• 1:09:09
  and your, and your God. I have not yet ascended.
• 1:09:17
  Let's reverse back again. To John chapter 7.
• 1:09:24
  Let's reverse back to John chapter 7. Verse 39.
• 1:09:28
  But this spake he of the Spirit, which day that
• 1:09:32
  belief on him shall receive. For the Holy Ghost
• 1:09:35
  was not yet given, because that Jesus was not
• 1:09:37
  yet what? Glorified. 17 now. Where we now? Sorry,
• 1:09:43
  John 7, 39. Because Jesus was not yet what? Glorified.
• 1:09:46
  20, 29 now. Is that 2029? 2017. And Jesus said
• 1:09:52
  unto her, Touch me not. This communication now
• 1:09:55
  is upon his what? Resurrection. He now said,
• 1:09:58
  Touch me not, for I am not ascended unto my Father,
• 1:10:01
  but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend
• 1:10:04
  unto my Father, and your, and to my God, and
• 1:10:08
  your, and your God. Now we see glorification,
• 1:10:14
  right? Yes, we see glorification. So verse 19.
• 1:10:23
  Of that same place. Then the same day. At evening.
• 1:10:29
  Being the first day of the week. When the doors
• 1:10:31
  were shut. Where the disciples were assembled.
• 1:10:35
  For fear of the Jews. Came Jesus and stood where?
• 1:10:40
  In the midst. And said unto them what? Peace
• 1:10:44
  be what? Unto you. The same statement he spoke
• 1:10:48
  unto them. Has he been fulfilled? He told them
• 1:10:51
  a little while, I will not be with you. And a
• 1:10:56
  little while, I will be with you. So he wasn't
• 1:11:01
  talking about something far -fetched. What he
• 1:11:03
  was saying is that upon the event of the cross,
• 1:11:06
  I will not be with you. But now after my resurrection,
• 1:11:10
  I will what? I will be with you. Now he met her
• 1:11:15
  and told her, tell my brethren, I am coming.
• 1:11:18
  But I have not yet ascended to my Father, but
• 1:11:20
  I will come to them. Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus.
• 1:11:24
  Are we there? So we now see that Jesus' resurrection
• 1:11:29
  is an important activity. Amen? Yes, so him being
• 1:11:36
  raised from the dead is very vital. It's a very
• 1:11:41
  key fact. Pastor Emma taught us that throughout.
• 1:11:46
  We looked at different belief systems, right?
• 1:11:51
  Jehovah Witness, Mormon, we looked at it. And
• 1:11:54
  some of the things that they are holding on to.
• 1:11:57
  That will help us in apologia. Hallelujah. Amen.
• 1:12:03
  So we now see, he says something that is important.
• 1:12:07
  Ascension. He said, I have not ascended to my
• 1:12:09
  what? To my father. So what we see, right? We
• 1:12:14
  see events, two events. Resurrection and what?
• 1:12:17
  And ascension. Resurrection and ascension are
• 1:12:25
  not two different realities. They are not two
• 1:12:29
  different what? I think we have treated it, sir.
• 1:12:32
  We've treated ascension in detail. It's in the
• 1:12:34
  cell. Yes. So now, John 14, 2. John 14, 2. John
• 1:12:52
  14, 2. In my father's house there are many mansions.
• 1:12:55
  If it were not so, I would have not told you.
• 1:12:58
  I go to prepare a what? I go to what? Prepare
• 1:13:03
  a what? A place for you. 13. 3, sorry. And if
• 1:13:09
  I go and prepare a place for you, I will come
• 1:13:11
  again and receive you unto myself that where
• 1:13:13
  I am, there ye may be what? Also. So what will
• 1:13:20
  give the authority, the right to be where I am
• 1:13:25
  in the father's family, right? Is that I will
• 1:13:29
  go and prepare what? A place. When I go and prepare
• 1:13:34
  a place, right? He said, I will come again. Does
• 1:13:41
  it look same communication with what he was telling
• 1:13:43
  them? That a little while you will not see me
• 1:13:46
  and a little while you will what? You will see
• 1:13:48
  me because I go to the Father. The same thing.
• 1:13:52
  He said, I will go and prepare a place for you
• 1:13:55
  and I will come what? Unto you. And not only
• 1:14:02
  come again unto you. He said, I will receive
• 1:14:05
  you unto what? Glory to Jesus. I will receive
• 1:14:12
  you unto myself. Then where I am, there ye also
• 1:14:18
  may be. What? There ye may be also. We've learned
• 1:14:30
  in our cell right during the teaching of ascension.
• 1:14:35
  That often what we think is ascension is that
• 1:14:39
  in Acts, right? In Acts chapter 1, after he finished,
• 1:14:43
  he went on to the Mount Olives, right? And then
• 1:14:46
  from there... In fact, that kind of messed us
• 1:14:55
  up more, right? From Sunday school, you know,
• 1:14:58
  the books that we often will use, they will show
• 1:15:02
  us the picture, you know. some two angels are
• 1:15:05
  standing by the left and right i don't know about
• 1:15:07
  your book but as i remember my book you know
• 1:15:10
  they always they print those things from just
• 1:15:12
  for us yes it's from just they always print those
• 1:15:15
  things right yes pastor fred is shaking his head
• 1:15:19
  so you show us angels two on the right and left
• 1:15:23
  and then they'll say this is how jesus went up
• 1:15:27
  to heaven yes amen so Now, let's look at Acts
• 1:15:36
  chapter 2, verse 32. Yes, we're on point. Acts
• 1:15:40
  chapter 2, verse 32. Thank you, Holy Spirit.
• 1:15:51
  Let's read from verse 31. He, seeing this before,
• 1:15:55
  spake of the resurrection of Jesus Christ, that
• 1:15:58
  his soul was not left where? In hell, neither
• 1:16:02
  his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus had
• 1:16:05
  got raised up. Amen. Can you see? This Jesus
• 1:16:08
  has got what? Raised up whereof we are all what?
• 1:16:13
  Witnesses. Therefore being by the right hand
• 1:16:15
  of God exalted. We've treated right hand, right?
• 1:16:18
  Place of authority. And having received of the
• 1:16:21
  Father the promise of what? He said, having received
• 1:16:27
  from the Father the promise of what? Remember
• 1:16:30
  in John where we read, he said, I will send you
• 1:16:34
  the comforter that will come from the Father.
• 1:16:38
  Amen. And now Peter is teaching here. He said,
• 1:16:42
  have you received? Are we all here? Where are
• 1:16:49
  we? Which verse? Which verse? That's three. And
• 1:16:51
  have you received of the Father the promise of
• 1:16:54
  the Holy Ghost? So now, let's go back to out
• 1:16:57
  of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
• 1:17:01
  Can you see? That the Spirit, he said, these
• 1:17:05
  he speak of the Spirit that shall be given to
• 1:17:09
  them that what? That shall be leaf. Amen? So
• 1:17:14
  now, having received of the Father the promise
• 1:17:16
  of the Holy Ghost, he had what? Everybody see
• 1:17:19
  now. He had what? He had shed forth the Holy
• 1:17:23
  Spirit. Which ye now see and what? And hear.
• 1:17:29
  So when was the Holy Spirit shared? When was
• 1:17:34
  the Holy Spirit shared? Let's come back now.
• 1:17:39
  31. We must get this now because this is where
• 1:17:41
  we are stopping now. 31. He seen this before.
• 1:17:47
  Speak of the resurrection of what? Christ. So
• 1:17:50
  underline the word resurrection of what? Christ.
• 1:17:53
  Now he quoted that place also from Psalms. That
• 1:17:57
  his soul was not left what? In hell. Neither
• 1:18:00
  his flesh did see what? Corruption. We see resurrection,
• 1:18:03
  right? Then now, from there now, 32. This Jesus
• 1:18:08
  has got what? Raised up. Whereof we are all what?
• 1:18:13
  So he was saying something that he also witnessed.
• 1:18:16
  He saw. Because Jesus came unto them. He told
• 1:18:19
  them a little while I will not be with you. And
• 1:18:21
  a little while I what? I will be with you. He's
• 1:18:24
  told them that we are witnesses that he was with
• 1:18:26
  us. We are witnesses that God raised him from
• 1:18:30
  what? From the dead. Then now, 33, everybody.
• 1:18:35
  Therefore, being by the right hand of God exalted,
• 1:18:38
  place of authority because Jesus has already
• 1:18:41
  taught them upon this. Right? He said, and having
• 1:18:44
  received of the Father. He said, therefore, being
• 1:18:49
  by the right hand of God. exalted, right, is
• 1:18:54
  the same event by saying that he has received
• 1:18:57
  of the Father the promise of what? The Holy Ghost.
• 1:19:00
  Are we all here? What did he do with that which
• 1:19:04
  he has received? He shed forth the Holy Ghost,
• 1:19:09
  which ye now see and what? They are now seeing
• 1:19:14
  and hearing of the Holy Ghost. from the tongues
• 1:19:20
  and interpretation of the tongues that just came
• 1:19:23
  upon them during the Pentecost. So what Peter
• 1:19:28
  is saying there is that what you see, that you
• 1:19:32
  guys are saying that they are drunk, right? And
• 1:19:36
  all of them are saying gibberish. And they don't
• 1:19:39
  know what they are saying. He is saying that
• 1:19:40
  what you are now seeing and what you are hearing,
• 1:19:45
  is as a result of the Holy Ghost that has been
• 1:19:48
  what? That has been shed forth. Glory to Jesus.
• 1:19:52
  So what we are saying in essence, the giving
• 1:19:59
  of the Holy Ghost, let me connect it because
• 1:20:01
  it's the next thing we're going to look at. The
• 1:20:03
  giving of the Holy Ghost, in the giving of the
• 1:20:05
  Holy Ghost or in the shedding of the Holy Ghost,
• 1:20:08
  right? What we will see, we will see new experiences
• 1:20:12
  in the believer. One of the new experiences in
• 1:20:17
  the believer, we are going to see tongues and
• 1:20:20
  interpretation of what? Of tongues. Prior to
• 1:20:27
  now, it has never happened. See, I hope you know
• 1:20:30
  they've been holding Pentecost upon Pentecost.
• 1:20:32
  But they've never had a Pentecost where they
• 1:20:36
  now see a group of people, right? Or their own
• 1:20:39
  group of people gathered in one place and suddenly
• 1:20:43
  speaking, you know, With utterances that every
• 1:20:47
  one of them will gather and say, these guys must
• 1:20:49
  be mad. They must be drunk. This is the first
• 1:20:54
  Pentecost in all their Pentecost that they are
• 1:20:57
  seeing such an event happening. And Peter will
• 1:21:01
  tell them that this event you now hear and what?
• 1:21:04
  And see is an event of the Holy Ghost. So in
• 1:21:08
  the believer, right? We will see an event of
• 1:21:11
  the Holy Ghost called tongues and what? Interpretation
• 1:21:15
  of tongues. Glory to Jesus. Mark 16, 15. So upon
• 1:21:23
  Jesus' resurrection and ascension, what we see
• 1:21:27
  is that what? The Holy Ghost has been shed. The
• 1:21:31
  Holy Ghost has been given. Mark 16, 15. Oh, sorry.
• 1:21:43
  Mark 16, 15, okay? And he said unto them, do
• 1:21:47
  what? Go ye into the world and what? And preach
• 1:21:51
  the what? The gospel to every creature. 16. He
• 1:21:56
  that believeth and is what? Shall be saved. But
• 1:22:01
  he that believeth not shall be what? Shall be
• 1:22:04
  damned. 17, everybody now. You remember in John,
• 1:22:07
  you remember he said that the works that I do,
• 1:22:10
  if you believe in me, you will also what? you
• 1:22:13
  will also do, and greater works than these you
• 1:22:16
  will also what? You will also do. So, now 17.
• 1:22:20
  And these signs shall follow them that what?
• 1:22:23
  That believe. In my name, they shall do these
• 1:22:27
  works. Now, let's begin to underline it. One
• 1:22:29
  of the works they shall do, they shall what?
• 1:22:32
  First work they shall do is that they will preach
• 1:22:34
  the gospel. Amen? He said, go here into the world
• 1:22:37
  and what? So, the first work we see they will
• 1:22:40
  do here. that is the work of jesus is that they
• 1:22:42
  will preach the gospel two second what we can
• 1:22:46
  see that they will do here is that they will
• 1:22:48
  cast out devils did jesus also cast out devil
• 1:22:52
  yes so they will cast out devils they shall speak
• 1:22:56
  with what with new tongues So in greater works,
• 1:23:01
  one of the new things that is happening with
• 1:23:04
  the believer upon receiving the Holy Ghost as
• 1:23:07
  a consequence of salvation is that the believer
• 1:23:09
  will speak with what? With new tongues. 18. They
• 1:23:14
  shall take up what? Serpents. And if they drink
• 1:23:19
  any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They
• 1:23:23
  shall lay hands on the sick and the sick shall
• 1:23:26
  what? Shall recover. Peter will say upon his
• 1:23:37
  resurrection, this Jesus you now see is seated
• 1:23:41
  at the right hand of God. Hallelujah. He is seated
• 1:23:45
  at the place of what? Authority. Which is that
• 1:23:49
  he has received the promise of what? Take us
• 1:23:53
  to Acts chapter 2 verse 33 so that we can see
• 1:23:55
  what I'm saying. Because there's something I
• 1:23:58
  want to say now. Therefore being by the what?
• 1:24:03
  Let's read it together. Therefore being by the
• 1:24:07
  right hand of God, what? Exalted, which is also
• 1:24:11
  he has received from the Father the promise of
• 1:24:13
  what? The Spirit. What did he do with it? He
• 1:24:18
  has shed forth what? These which you now what?
• 1:24:22
  Let me say this now before I say the next thing.
• 1:24:24
  Is that the man that has the indwelling of the
• 1:24:27
  Spirit, the actions of the Spirit of God in the
• 1:24:30
  believer. are actions that will be seen and heard
• 1:24:33
  hallelujah when our brother was leading us in
• 1:24:37
  the prayers this morning he said that we are
• 1:24:39
  going to have what utterances we are going to
• 1:24:44
  have supernatural experiences so we will hear
• 1:24:47
  and we will what we will see He said he has shed
• 1:24:53
  for this. What Peter was saying there is that
• 1:24:56
  these men that you have seen or you have seen,
• 1:24:59
  they have received the promise of the Holy Ghost.
• 1:25:05
  And what he meant also by saying is that now
• 1:25:09
  these people are also at the right hand of God.
• 1:25:13
  What? Exalted. Jesus is in the place of authority.
• 1:25:21
  They are also in the place of what? Authority.
• 1:25:24
  Because Jesus received the promise of the Holy
• 1:25:27
  Ghost, right? And he has shed it forth. They
• 1:25:31
  have also received that what? That promise. I
• 1:25:35
  am in the Father, the Father in me, and I am
• 1:25:38
  in you. So how are we in the Father and the Father
• 1:25:43
  in us? We are in the Father and the Father in
• 1:25:46
  us through what? Through the Holy Ghost. So I
• 1:25:50
  can preach. Or I will preach the gospel because
• 1:25:53
  the Father is in what? Is in me through the Holy
• 1:25:56
  Ghost. I will cast out devils, right? Because
• 1:26:00
  the Father is in me through the what? The Holy
• 1:26:02
  Ghost. How did I get the Holy Ghost? I got the
• 1:26:06
  Holy Ghost, what? At salvation. When I believed.
• 1:26:10
  I will lay hands on the sick. You remember what
• 1:26:13
  we read in John chapter 3? He said that it's
• 1:26:16
  not his parents that sinned, right? But this
• 1:26:19
  has happened that the works of God may be made
• 1:26:22
  what? Manifest where? In him. And we say that
• 1:26:25
  one of the works that we are seeing of God made
• 1:26:26
  manifest is the work of what? Healing. So Jesus
• 1:26:30
  will also tell us that in my name, when you lay
• 1:26:32
  hands on the sick, the sick will what? Will be
• 1:26:34
  healed. But you see, that healing is happening
• 1:26:39
  by the ability of what? The Holy Ghost. Sorry.
• 1:26:45
  With you now what? See and Praise God. So now,
• 1:26:54
  what are we saying in essence? Write this now.
• 1:27:02
  Having come across all this from Ezekiel to now,
• 1:27:05
  what we are saying in essence is that the believer
• 1:27:10
  is one with Jesus. Hallelujah. What we are saying
• 1:27:16
  is that the believer is in union with Jesus.
• 1:27:23
  What we are saying, the believer is what? Is
• 1:27:26
  one with Jesus. Is in union with Jesus. Is in
• 1:27:30
  relationship with who? With Jesus. How? Through
• 1:27:35
  the indwelling of the Holy Ghost. Because what
• 1:27:38
  we see is that Jesus received the promise from
• 1:27:40
  the Father and he has shed it forth. He said,
• 1:27:43
  go into the world and preach the gospel that
• 1:27:45
  whosoever believes is saved and whosoever does
• 1:27:47
  not believe is damned. Right? Yes, so that I
• 1:27:50
  believe in Jesus. And where all we read in John,
• 1:27:53
  you keep hearing, believe on me. Believe on the
• 1:27:56
  works. Believe on the one that has sent me. Oh,
• 1:27:58
  Philip, why is it that you still ask that you
• 1:28:00
  want to see the Father? He that has seen me has
• 1:28:04
  seen what? Has seen the Father. Because the works
• 1:28:08
  that I do testify of what? Of the Father. So
• 1:28:16
  there are works that I see in the believer that
• 1:28:19
  will testify of who? The father. One of the works
• 1:28:23
  that we will see in the believer that will testify
• 1:28:25
  of the father is the preaching of the gospel.
• 1:28:30
  Then let me summarize it now by saying miracles,
• 1:28:33
  signs and what? And wonders. Then we now see
• 1:28:40
  what we are going to talk about. The giftings
• 1:28:42
  of what? Of the Holy Ghost. Because when we see
• 1:28:45
  all these operations, we know that what? They
• 1:28:47
  testify of the Father in the believer. Say, I
• 1:28:52
  have the Spirit of God. I have the Spirit of
• 1:28:55
  God. And He's indwelling in me. And I do greater
• 1:28:59
  works because I believe in Jesus Christ. I'm
• 1:29:02
  in union with Jesus. I'm in union with Jesus.
• 1:29:06
  I am one with Him. Glory to Jesus. Can we pray
• 1:29:10
  in the Holy Ghost, everybody? 2 verse 38 gifts
• 1:29:13
  of the spirit and i said something before i said
• 1:29:17
  we should write gifts of the spirit i said salvation
• 1:29:20
  right the man that has come into christ at salvation
• 1:29:24
  right salvation is the believers starting out
• 1:29:28
  or is the believers wow the english now how will
• 1:29:31
  i put it because it's not in my note i'm just
• 1:29:33
  saying it now from my heart is this english correct
• 1:29:40
  is the okay is the starting out of a believer's
• 1:29:43
  life okay i'm getting english now thank you okay
• 1:29:46
  starting point okay glory to jesus okay so salvation
• 1:29:51
  is the starting point of a believer's life or
• 1:29:55
  journey in christ jesus i'll write that because
• 1:30:03
  now that life will be a life aided by the spirit
• 1:30:06
  of god you know what i just said Because that
• 1:30:10
  life will be a life what? Aided by what? By the
• 1:30:14
  Spirit of God. Remember we came from somewhere
• 1:30:16
  where Jesus said, the works that I do, the man
• 1:30:20
  that believe with me will also what? Will also
• 1:30:22
  do the works. So when you are saved, you are
• 1:30:28
  not saved to just remain where you are. You are
• 1:30:31
  saved to do the works of Christ. So salvation,
• 1:30:37
  is the starting point of a believer's life to
• 1:30:40
  do the works of Jesus and greater works. And
• 1:30:44
  these works are the works that will be performed
• 1:30:48
  by the Holy Ghost in the believer. Do we understand
• 1:30:51
  the connection? Yes. So, Acts chapter 2, verse
• 1:30:56
  38. Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be
• 1:31:00
  baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus
• 1:31:04
  Christ, for the remission of what? Can you see?
• 1:31:15
  That the preaching of the gospel, what the preaching
• 1:31:18
  of the gospel offers to the unbeliever is the
• 1:31:21
  gift of what? Of the Holy Ghost. So what we are
• 1:31:25
  saying in essence, that when the gospel is preached
• 1:31:27
  and a man believes on the gospel and he saves
• 1:31:30
  what he receives, right? As a gift. To satisfy
• 1:31:36
  and validate that he is saved is what? The Holy
• 1:31:41
  Ghost. You see, Peter would have said, then Peter
• 1:31:45
  said unto them, Repent and be baptized every
• 1:31:47
  one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the
• 1:31:48
  remission of your sins. And ye shall receive
• 1:31:50
  mansions and money and cars and wives and families.
• 1:31:54
  And there will be this abundance elevation that
• 1:31:57
  will come to you. Let me say this so that we
• 1:31:59
  can laugh. Ye shall receive your keys. And then
• 1:32:05
  the Jews will go, yay! If you're online, you're
• 1:32:13
  hearing me. What you receive as a gift in salvation
• 1:32:17
  is what? The Holy Ghost. Do we not need another
• 1:32:23
  thing? You don't need anything. What you receive
• 1:32:27
  is the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost is the one
• 1:32:31
  that will produce the works of Jesus in you and
• 1:32:35
  greater works in you. So now, what is the word
• 1:32:49
  gift? What is the word what? Gift. Say, I have
• 1:32:55
  the gift of the Holy Ghost. Say, I have the gift
• 1:32:58
  of the Holy Ghost. Say, I have the gift of the
• 1:33:00
  Holy Ghost. And because that I have the gift
• 1:33:02
  of the Holy Ghost, I do works of Jesus and greater
• 1:33:06
  works. So what is the word gifts? The word gifts
• 1:33:11
  in Greek, it means Doron. D -O -R -O -N. Doron.
• 1:33:18
  D -O -R -O -N. Which means to be offered freely.
• 1:33:27
  Don't worry, we're just introducing this. In
• 1:33:30
  the next two, three minutes, I will stop here.
• 1:33:32
  We'll pray for two minutes and then we have the
• 1:33:35
  worship team help us. The word gives is what?
• 1:33:39
  Doron. Doron is D -O -R -O -N. Are we being blessed
• 1:33:44
  so far? Is there clarity so far? Why we took
• 1:33:48
  this time on that? Because of the things that
• 1:33:49
  are going to happen in the few sessions we have
• 1:33:51
  ahead. Amen? Hallelujah? Yes. Is there anybody
• 1:33:57
  that has not been blessed so that we give your
• 1:33:58
  transport money back? Okay, everybody is blessed.
• 1:34:02
  Okay, we keep our money. Yes. Amen. So the word
• 1:34:07
  gives is what? Doron, which implies to be offered
• 1:34:10
  freely. To be offered what? Freely. It describes
• 1:34:25
  The quality of the gifts rather than the act
• 1:34:28
  of the giver. It describes the what? The quality
• 1:34:34
  of the gifts rather than the act of what? Of
• 1:34:38
  the giver. So you see why God will give good
• 1:34:42
  gifts. Hallelujah. And what he will give the
• 1:34:46
  believer is his life. Amen. It describes the
• 1:34:50
  what? The quality of the gifts. Rather than the
• 1:34:55
  act of what? The act of the giver. So, from that
• 1:35:02
  same place, just like we had, when you check
• 1:35:04
  your dictionary, by now when I say dictionary,
• 1:35:09
  I don't mean your Merriam -Webster. Right? Or
• 1:35:14
  advanced learners. They are learning but in an
• 1:35:18
  advanced way. Okay. when you check that particular
• 1:35:23
  context right you realize that the word of in
• 1:35:29
  between gifts and the holy ghost the word of
• 1:35:32
  right that word is absent there which we have
• 1:35:38
  already established here when we see that uh
• 1:35:41
  what it means we say it was added by translators
• 1:35:44
  for interpretation purposes so we can toss reads
• 1:35:50
  acts chapter 2 verse 38 this way give us our
• 1:35:52
  place let's read it everybody let's read the
• 1:35:55
  place we said the word off it's not there right
• 1:35:58
  so let's read the place everybody want to go
• 1:36:00
  then peter said unto them let's read it want
• 1:36:03
  to go wait wait wait i can only hear pastor chidi
• 1:36:11
  and aida can we read it all together Many are
• 1:36:24
  tired. Few are hungry. Can we say it again? Damn
• 1:36:34
  Peter. Let's say it like we mean it. Baptize
• 1:36:38
  every in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission
• 1:36:43
  of sins and ye shall receive the gifts the Holy
• 1:36:47
  Ghost. Hallelujah. Ye shall receive the gifts
• 1:36:51
  the what? The Holy Ghost. The word receive there.
• 1:36:59
  The word receive. Oh, thank you, Spirit of God.
• 1:37:04
  The word receive is from the Greek word lambano.
• 1:37:09
  L -A -M -B -N -O. Lambano. L -A -M -B -A -N -O.
• 1:37:19
  Lambano. It implies. To take hold of. To take
• 1:37:26
  hold of. It's a very strong word. To take hold
• 1:37:31
  of. You know, when you take hold of, you don't
• 1:37:35
  let go. Hallelujah. So what he's saying is that
• 1:37:39
  what? The what? The Holy Ghost. Nobody ever take
• 1:37:58
  hold of something mindlessly. Imagine woman of
• 1:38:03
  God. You know, I just come like this and just
• 1:38:05
  put my hands. That reminds me woman of God. You
• 1:38:08
  know, I like making these instances because our
• 1:38:11
  minds can relate to it. You know? And I say,
• 1:38:14
  ah, woman of God. You know, I just have one small
• 1:38:17
  gift for you and it's outside. You say, really?
• 1:38:20
  I say, yes. You are trying to know, what is this
• 1:38:23
  person that wants to bring? And then suddenly
• 1:38:26
  now, I just brought out a key. And then on the
• 1:38:29
  key, you see R. You know it's Range Rover. You
• 1:38:34
  know? And then on this thing now, it's autobiography.
• 1:38:38
  2026. July. 15. You know, I say, ah, one of God.
• 1:38:47
  It's just a small, it's a small gift that I'm
• 1:38:50
  giving you. When this kind of gift comes, are
• 1:39:01
  you going to just do? Okay, sir. Give me, sir.
• 1:39:04
  Is that how you're going to take all of it? I
• 1:39:09
  know one of God will first say, sir, wait, wait,
• 1:39:10
  wait. Let me call pastor. I love the way the
• 1:39:26
  woman of God. She said, I will collect it. I
• 1:39:30
  will take all of it. Because I know the quality
• 1:39:36
  of the gifts. I may come here and present the
• 1:39:42
  gifts to her with just a shirt, polo, and slippers.
• 1:39:47
  I may not even brush my teeth. I may just even
• 1:39:50
  be unserious. The act of the giver is not what
• 1:39:54
  matters. It's the quality of what? Of the gifts.
• 1:40:00
  She will take hold of it. The believer ought
• 1:40:05
  to know that he has received the Holy Ghost.
• 1:40:11
  And that is what we are discussing. Because we
• 1:40:13
  need to know the gifts that we have received.
• 1:40:17
  There is no works and greater works without the
• 1:40:21
  understanding of the gifts you have received.
• 1:40:24
  Do you hear what I just said now? Yes, we just
• 1:40:27
  have a few seconds. There is no works and greater
• 1:40:29
  works for the believer without the understanding
• 1:40:33
  of the gifts he has what? He has received. So
• 1:40:37
  when we say you should pray in tongues, and there
• 1:40:41
  is this fervency that is coming from your inside,
• 1:40:44
  that fervency is not coming because The prayer
• 1:40:47
  point says, you shall not die next week. You
• 1:40:51
  know, often there are prayer points when they
• 1:40:53
  are set, they just change the air. No. That prayer
• 1:40:56
  point or that fervency is coming because you
• 1:40:59
  have an understanding of the quality, the gifts
• 1:41:02
  that you have what? You have received. Can we
• 1:41:05
  pray in the Holy Ghost, everybody? We appreciate
• 1:41:09
  you being here today. We hope you carry this
• 1:41:11
  word with you throughout your week. Until next
• 1:41:27
  time, stay blessed.
