  Speaker 2: He's not a fly in the pan.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: What you are seeing is not just a manifestation of

  Speaker 1: a gift. What you are seeing is not where you
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: could say that it's a grace, but it's not just that.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: You are seeing manifestation of wisdom. And when a person

• 2:33
  Speaker 1: then they used to say, let's call it back then,

  Speaker 1: ministries that fly by night. But this is a ministry
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: that is deeply rooted.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: A man who has.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Deep respect for people. The way and manner in which
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: he treats people with humility. Even when I was in
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the green room behind there just apologizing to him about
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: the fact that because there was.
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: A spillover that there will be a delay.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: The way he composed himself, you know, shows that he's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: a man that is walking in grace beyond his natural age.
• 3:16

• 5:00
  Speaker 3: we lift our hands to heaven and ask the Lord
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: to speak to us. Go ahead and pray. Let it
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: be from the depth of your heart. Speak to me.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: Speak to me. Speak to me. Who is like him?
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: Lion and the lamb.
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: Seated on the throne. Mountains bow down. Every ocean roar.
• 5:36
  Speaker 6: To the king of kings.
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: Will praise Adonai from the rising of the sun to.
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: The end of every day.
• 5:54
  Speaker 7: Praise Adonai all the nations of the earth.
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Yes, we will praise.
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: Adonai, from the rising of the sun till the end
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: of every day.
• 6:21
  Speaker 8: Adonai, all the nations of the earth.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Speak to our hearts this afternoon. And cause your word
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: to lift us, to change us, to transform us. Let
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: us go from one dimension of glory even to the other.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: In Jesus' name we have prayed. God bless you. Please
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: be seated. I'm teaching this afternoon on the voice of God.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: I want you to please pay attention because I believe
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: that in addition to all that you have learned, phenomenal speakers,
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: that this is one teaching that for many of us
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: will be an answer to age-long prayers. For many of us,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: this will bring perspective and confidence to your walk with God.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: The voice of God. Psalm 29. Psalm 29. Let's start
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: from verse 3. Psalm 29 from verse 3. It says
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: the voice of God is upon the waters. The God
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: of glory thundereth. We're reading tonight. The Lord is upon
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: many waters. Verse 4. The voice of the Lord is powerful.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. Verse 5.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars, yea, the
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: Lord breaketh the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: to skip like a calf, Lebanon and Syrian like a
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: young unicorn. The voice of the Lord divided the flames
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: of fire. The voice of the Lord shaked the wilderness.
• 8:21
  Speaker 3: The Lord shaked the wilderness of Kadesh. The last verse.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: The voice of the Lord maketh the hinds to calve
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: and discovereth the forest. And in his temple doth everyone
• 8:34
  Speaker 3: speak of his glory. One more scripture. Ezekiel chapter 43
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: from verse 1 and 2. Ezekiel 43. Afterwards he brought
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: me to the gate, even the gate that looketh towards
• 8:53
  Speaker 3: the east. Verse 2. And behold, the glory of the
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: God of Israel came from the way of the east,
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: and his voice was like the noise of many waters,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: and the earth shined with his glory.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Verse 3.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: The Bible is very clear as to the fact that
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: the kingdom life was so designed that the advancement and
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the progress of the believer largely, principally depends on his
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: ability to be led of God, of the Spirit. The
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: faith life was designed by God Himself. Such that there
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: is no possibility for meaningful progress outside of the voice
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: of God. Hallelujah. The believer was designed to continually depend
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: on the voice of God for leadership and for direction.
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: So even Jesus, when he came in the flesh, he
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: was very... very vocal as to his need for the
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: leadership of the spirit the Bible would tell us that
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: after his baptism the spirit drove him into the wilderness
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: to be tempted of the devil then the Bible says
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: he returned in the power of the spirit Hallelujah. Probably
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: one of the greatest psalms that we know, Psalm 23,
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: is a very profound psalm of David because it captures
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the implication or
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: the leadership of God, generally speaking. He says, let's look
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: at it. The Lord is my shepherd. He says, I
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: shall not want. He makes me Notice now, this same Lord,
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: being my shepherd, he makes me, he leads me. Verse 3,
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: he restores, he leads me. Verse 4, he guides me.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: You see, so there is leadership, there is guidance, there
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: is making all by this great shepherd. It therefore means
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: that if you do not understand the voice of God
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: and the nature of his leadership, you may be stunted
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: in a position spiritually and it will affect every other
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: aspect of your life.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: There are many believers today who... Have not been able
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: to walk in the fullness of their prophetic destinies. Not
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: because of rebellion. But the inability to hear and to
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: understand the speakings of God. Understanding the communications of God. Therefore,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: it's a very, very important pursuit for any serious believer.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: In fact, the Bible tells us in Romans chapter 8
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: and verse 14 that one of the seals of our
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: sonship is that we have the ability to be led
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: for as many, he says, that are led by the
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: Spirit of God. They are the sons of God. Are
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: we still together? There seems to be a great confusion
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: as to the concept of the voice of God. The
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: average believer understands the implication of being led by God.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: But it seems that largely in the body of Christ
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: there is serious confusion. Our lives and our results or
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: the lack of it clearly show that there is something
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: about this subject that has not been properly understood. Hallelujah.
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: And so I'm hoping that within the times that we'll
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: have to share, that God will grant us clarity and
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: understanding as to the concept of His voice. If you
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: believe that, please shout it loud, Amen. What exactly is
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: the voice of God? The Bible talks about the voice
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: of God, but what does it mean? Now please look up.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: The concept of voice is not limited to the speakings
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: of God alone. This is the first thing I want
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: you to understand. The Bible generically uses the expression voice,
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: but then it is not limited to the vocal communications
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: or the speakings of God. Are we together? Yes. When
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: we talk about the voice of God, it represents, you
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: may write this down if you're writing, it represents all
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: the spiritual channels and the pathways that God uses to
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: communicate his will and his intent. Let me take it again.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: That the concept of the voice of God is not
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: limited to the speakings of God alone. But that it
• 13:53
  Speaker 3: represents all the spiritual channels. The voice of God represents
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: all the spiritual channels and pathways. He uses to communicate
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: his will and intent. If you're writing, underline the word
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: spiritual channels, underline the word will and intent. That is
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: very important. Because the whole idea behind the voice of
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: God or the communications of God is to make his
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: will and his intent known. Please look up. Please look up.
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: I need you to understand that the power of God,
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: which is responsible for all the possibilities we enjoy in
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: this kingdom. Are we together? The power of God is
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: the principal sponsor for every result that we enjoy in
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: this kingdom. But the power of God has jurisdictions for operation.
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: It does not operate arbitrarily. The power of God was
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: mandated by God to only function within the jurisdiction of
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: his will and his intent. That means outside of the
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: will and the power of God, I mean the will
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: and the intent of God, the power of God does
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: not have any assignment. The assignment of the power of
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: God is to make the will and the intent of
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: the Father come to pass. That means you only call
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: for the attention of the power of God to the
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: degree to which you are consistent with the will of God.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: It's important you understand this. The administration of the power
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: of God only functions and finds expression within the jurisdiction
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: of his will. It says when you pray, you pray
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: that your kingdom come. How? By your will being done
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: in earth as it is in heaven. Are we still together?
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: That means if you cannot discern, perceive or receive the
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: will and the intent of God, you may never be
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: able to experience the possibilities of God. This is why
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the voice of God is so important because his power
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: follows his voice.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: You are the one that we praise. You are the
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: one we adore. You give the healing and.
• 16:29
  Speaker 7: Grace that our hearts always hunger for.
• 16:38
  Speaker 5: Oh our hearts always hunger for.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Are we following so far? So we have established the
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: fact that the concept of the voice of God is
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: not limited to his speakings, his vocal communications alone, but
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: that it's a holistic capture of all the channels and
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: the pathways that God uses to communicate his will and
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: his intent. Please say after me, will. Say after me, intent.
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: One more time, say will. Will. Say intent. The entire
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: scope of the dealings of God with man centers around
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: these two words. His will and his intent. The purpose
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: of spiritual communication from God to man is to make
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: accessible to man the will and the intent of God. Hallelujah.
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: So for this session today, would look at how God speaks.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: How exactly does God speak? Because there are many believers
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: who are at a loss as to how God speaks
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: or how God communicates. The Bible reveals several channels that
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: have been used by God to communicate his will and
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: his intent. That we generically call the voice of God.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: In fact, Hebrews chapter 1 and verse 1. It says,
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: God who in sundry times and diverse manners speak. Take
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: note of that. Diverse manners speak. God who in sundry
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: times and diverse manners speak in time past to the
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: fathers by the prophets have in these last days spoken
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: to us. So you see different channels. Sundry times, diverse
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: manners he speak. Now he has spoken to us through
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: his son. So there are many channels. channels for spiritual communication.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: I'm not discussing them but let me just list a
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: few of them for your knowledge. Number one, the Bible
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: teaches that the primary channel for God's communication as far
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: as his intent is concerned is the Holy Scripture. Please write.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: So the Scripture is the principal channel. It is amazing
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: that the Scripture that we have represents the voice of God.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Are we together? And that from a child, thou hast
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: known the Holy Scripture, which is able to make you
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: wise unto salvation, it says. The Holy Scripture. Number two, dreams, visions,
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: and supernatural encounters. The Bible is very clear as to
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: the fact that God uses dreams, visions, and supernatural encounters
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: to communicate his intent. We see this scattered from generation
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: to generation. to Revelation. Whether it is for Abraham, whether
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: it is for Joseph, the earthly father of Jesus. Hallelujah.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Whether it is for Pharaoh revealing that seven years would
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: come with plenty and seven years would come with famine.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: All of these prophetic encounters, dreams, visions, supernatural encounters. Number three,
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: the prophetic now, proper. The prophetic. I think that should
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: be Hosea chapter 12 and verse 10. I hope I'm
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: right on that. It says I have spoken to you
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: by the prophets. So God speaks by the prophets. The
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: prophetic is a channel for his communication. Is someone learning now?
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: I have multiplied visions he says. Let's finish the scripture.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: I have used similitudes even by the ministry of the prophets.
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: Number four. Another channel for spiritual communication is called the
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: knowing or the witness of the Spirit. Fathers of faith
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: who have joined the cloud of witnesses like Papa Hagen
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: would talk a lot about the knowing of the Spirit.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: The Bible says the Spirit itself bears witness with our
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: spirit that we are the sons or the children of God.
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: There is a knowing. The Spirit can bear witness with
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: your spirit. Hallelujah. There are many other channels, but at
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: least this one is just to be able to guide
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: our understanding to see that when we are talking about
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: the voice of God, I repeat again that the voice
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: of God is not limited to the vocabulary communications of
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: God like we know. Our concept of voice means sound
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: that comes from the lips or the mouth of a man.
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: But I'm telling you now that in dealing with spiritual communications,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the most important thing is the transference of his will
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: and his intent to the believer. That means at the
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: end of whatever you call hearing God, if the will
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: and the intent of God does not get to you,
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: it's not God that you heard. It doesn't matter how spiritual.
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: It doesn't matter how flamboyant. We can vet your hearing God.
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: Not by the accuracy of what you think. Not by
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: the charismatism that happened. Remember there can be sound and rain.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: But then the voice may not be there. The proof
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: of accurate hearing. Is that we see that your life
• 22:25
  Speaker 3: evolves into the will and the intent of God. With
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: exactitude and precision. Are we together? So how does God speak?
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: What is the language of God? Does he have a language?
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: Hallelujah.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: Hallelujah.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: While I was in the green room, I was enjoying
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: the praise and the worship except that largely for it,
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: I really didn't understand what, you know, from a cultural
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: standpoint now. I was enjoying it, of course, but I
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: didn't know the meaning of the words because... For instance,
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: I'm not Yoruba by earthly, you know, my earthly connection now.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: So there are languages. If I speak something in Yoruba now,
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: I expect most or all Yoruba people to be able
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: to respond. Is that true? So what is the language
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: of God? If we are talking about the communications of God,
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: does he speak Greek? Does he speak Hebrew? Does he
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: speak English? What is the language of God? You will
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: test what you are hearing now against many things you
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: have been calling God said. So you said you had God.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: What exactly did you hear? You should have the confidence
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: to answer this question. What did you hear? For someone
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: who will say God told me. I think it's time
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: to move left. So does God speak English? Does God
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: speak French? It is amazing that every nation hears God.
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: So what exactly does he tell them? Please pay attention now.
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: Are we together? The language of God is not Greek.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: It's not Hebrew. It's not English. It's not Yoruba. In fact,
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: the Bible tells us Paul was speaking in 1 Corinthians
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: 13 verse 1 that there are the language or tongues
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: of men and tongues of angels. So we know that
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: there are languages even in the realm of the spirit.
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: But I guarantee you by the integrity of scripture that
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: none of these is the language of God. It does
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: not mean that he cannot communicate through these channels. But
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: that is not the language of God. The language of
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: God is not vocabulary. The language of God is light.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Please write it down. The language of God is light.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: 1 John chapter 1 and verse 5 already tells us
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: that God himself is light. This is the message it says,
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: which we have heard of him and declare unto you.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: That God is light. Not God has light. God is light.
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: And in him there is no darkness at all. If
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: it is true that he is light, then everything that
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: emanates from him must be light. Are we together? Psalm
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: 119 verse 130. Psalm 119. Are we still together please?
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: The Bible says the entrance of thy word giveth what?
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: It didn't say it giveth information. The entrance of thy word,
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: just follow me carefully. The entrance of thy words, give
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: it light. Then there is another kind of giving again.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: It now gives understanding. But leave the issue of understanding.
• 26:10
  Speaker 3: The first thing it gives is light. That means once
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: that light does not arrive, there is no possibility of understanding.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: The entrance of thy word, give it light. Is someone learning?
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Matthew chapter 17 and verse 5. The language of God
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: is light. The Bible says this was at the transfiguration.
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: That while he yet speak. Behold a bright cloud overshadowed them.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: And behold a voice out of the cloud which said.
• 26:52
  Speaker 3: This is my beloved son. In whom I am well pleased.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: Then he says hear ye him. My question is were
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: they not listening? So what did he mean by hear him?
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: You would hear the Bible say again and again that
• 27:10
  Speaker 3: he that hath an ear. Now remember he was talking
• 27:13
  Speaker 3: to people who were created in God's image. So what
• 27:16
  Speaker 3: kind of ear is this? That he that hath an
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: ear let him hear what the spirit saith to the churches.
• 27:22
  Speaker 3: Are we together? I want to explain to you something
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: very powerful now and I'm praying in the name of Jesus,
• 27:29
  Speaker 3: the son of the living God, that your spirit will
• 27:32
  Speaker 3: be alive to receive. I stand by the integrity of
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: the Lord to tell you this. If you understand what
• 27:38
  Speaker 3: I'm teaching you now, it will shift the climate of
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: your spiritual experience to new dimensions and to new horizons.
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: Are we together? I have established the fact that the
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: goal of the speakings of God, listen carefully, is not
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: just to supply information, but to supply his intent and
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: his will. Is it possible to have two gentlemen? Please,
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: any two gentlemen, please come. Thank you. Just stand here. Everyone,
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: please watch. You stand here, sir. You stand here, sir.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Face me. Now, all of you watch this. Anything I
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: ask you to do, I want you to try to
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: do it. Decipher whatever you think I'm saying. Are we following?
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: Oh dear, I'm not. What did I say? I said
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: I should come. What did I say? You asked me
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: to move forward. From a vocal standpoint. This one interpreted
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: what I said as what? Come. This one interpreted what
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: I said as what? But both of them got the
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: intent of my communication. Are you seeing that now? Please
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: go back again. Watch this. What did I say?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: He said come forward and go left.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: What did I say? come again and spread out. Look
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: at this. So, now, if this is the only mentor
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: you have to learn the speakings of God, you are
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: already in trouble because you are limited to his vocal
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: expression or his perception of the intents of God. Are
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: we together now? Sit down, sit down, sit down. Sit down.
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: Let's pray in the spirit for one minute. Someone is
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: rising in the spirit. Following from across the nations of
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the earth. Light is coming for you now. Years of confusion.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Being demystified in the presence of God. Hallelujah. Now watch this.
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: So back to our example. This gentleman, based on his
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: perception of what I said, he said, come. So if
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: he's to write a book to document this event, he
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: will say, and God said, come. When you now read
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: this one, he will say, and God said, step forward.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: You now see why there's the synoptic gospel, Matthew, Mark, Luke,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: and John. An attempt to capture the speakings of God
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: from the.
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: Listen. Listen to me. This is very powerful. Both of
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: them are right. Except that it is a risk to
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: absolutely depend on their perception to understand God. The most
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: important thing is not their linguistic prowess or their vocal ability.
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: That can help. But I am satisfied working with any
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: of them because my intent and my will was successfully transferred.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: Are we together? When you study communication, now in English
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: or mass communication, they teach you that the goal of speaking,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: whether it's a verbal or non-verbal communication, that the goal
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: is to transfer the thoughts of the speaker to the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: audience or the listener, the final recipient. Am I right
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: on that? So sometimes you may need to use the
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: power of imagery. Sometimes you may need to use linguistic
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: communication prowess. Sometimes you may need to use your hands
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: like for people who are deaf and dumb. How do
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: you tell those who are deaf and dumb that while
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: you are laughing, they are laughing too? What did they
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: understand by what you said? Because while you are laughing,
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: they are also laughing. They are not at a loss
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: at all as far as communicating your intent is concerned.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: It then means... Listen carefully. That the language of God
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: cannot be what this man said. It cannot be what
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: this man said. Although everything they said captured his will.
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: Are we together? Thank you gentlemen. So I said that
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: the language of God is light. But let me explain
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: very quickly what is the dynamics of spiritual communication. How
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: does that light become understanding to the believer? For you
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: to understand this, you need to understand the spiritual composition,
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: the design of man. The Bible very clearly tells us
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: that man is spirit. Man does not have a spirit.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Man is spirit because God is spirit. Are we together?
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: And that that spirit is hosted in a body. And
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: that body and that spirit are incompatible because of the
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: realms that they come from. The spirit is from above.
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: This body was made from the dust. So there is
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: no system of compatibility. Are we together? Now the mind comes,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: that solical component made up of the will, the emotions,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: the intellect. That is what creates the bridge between the
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: spirit and the body. The body is an instrument of execution.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: Are we together now? That means that which the spirit
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: desires through the faculties of the mind, you are able
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: to execute it. This is.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: So God communicates his intent captured in his light. Please listen.
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: Let me explain to you now. That light is received
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: by your spirit man. Your spirit man would have received
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: that light. But you see, it cannot be profitable to
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: you because at that realm as light, it cannot minister
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: to your mind and your body. There still has to
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: be a technology of conversion so that understanding can come.
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: It is at the point of understanding that faith can
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: be engaged. Is someone following now? There are times that
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: you know your spirit has received something from God. You
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: know by the witness of the spirit. And it cannot
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: profit you because you don't even know what to obey.
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: You just know that in the place of prayer, your
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: spirit has received something. All the components that accompany the
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: speakings of God are there. Joy, peace. I know that
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: I have received something. But what exactly have I received?
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: There must be a system of conversion. Now, watch this.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: This is where your mind comes in. In the body
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: of Christ, we have taught people how to grow their spirits.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: But we have ignored the place of the mind. We
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: have ignored the fact that the mind has a vital
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: role to play in interpreting the speakings of God. Now
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: you are about to see the role... play that as
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: robust as your spirit man is receiving the light that
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: comes from the communications of God will not give you
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: the basis to manifest faith properly if there is something
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: wrong with your mind the mind consists of the will
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: the emotions and the intellect now watch this your mind
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: through learning I wrote here And through environmental conditioning has
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: associated certain words and expression with certain feelings. Let me
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: explain to you what I mean. That through learning, going
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: to school, any kind of education at all. And through
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: your environmental conditioning you have associated certain words. Are we
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: together now? Certain vocabulary expressions to certain feelings. For instance,
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: if I say ball, you can't think banana because you
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: have associated that object. Are we together now? This is powerful.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: That means the healthier your mind is, the more it
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: can create the vocabulary expressions that interpret the light you
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: have received. Are we together now? Listen, if you understand this,
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: you will know what happened, respectfully speaking, to the fathers
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: of old. They received many things from God, but because
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: they ignored transformation, they were not able to interpret the
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: speakings of God with accuracy. So their prophetic actions came
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: with a plethora of error. There was no purity in
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: their interpretation because they ignored the place of transformation. And
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: it's a mistake that many spiritual people are making. They
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: feel because my spirit is in contact with God through prayer.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: They ignore the role that the Lord has given them.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Play in accurately interpreting the speakings of God. I always
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: wondered why Jesus, the word incarnate, when he came in
• 37:36
  Speaker 3: the flesh at age 12, the Bible tells us that
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: he was in the temple. Is that in your Bible?
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Learning under the Pharisees and the scribes. Why would the
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: word be learning again? No wonder when Satan came, he said,
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: it is. Hmm. Hmm. The assignment of your mind, therefore,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: is to give the light of God for expressions so
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: that understanding can be established. Let me take it again.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: The assignment of your mind with respect to the speakings
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: of God is to give the light of God that
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: you have received in your spirit vocabulary expressions. So that
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: understanding can be established. In Ephesians chapter 5, I believe
• 38:35
  Speaker 3: verse 16. The Bible tells us we can understand the
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: will of God. Did I get that? 17. Be not
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: therefore unwise but understanding what the will of God is.
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: There is no basis for manifesting faith until and unless
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: there is understanding. If you do not understand the instruction
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: I gave you, how can you obey? Because faith in
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: one word is obedience. Any other thing that is captured
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: in your faith equation, if obedience is missing, you did
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: not manifest Bible faith. If it be thou, bid me come.
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: He only came because he understood what was said. Like
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: my example with the gentleman, remember? You see that their
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: obedience was almost effortless because their understanding was fruitful. That
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: means what many, the laxity in obedience is not necessarily
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: rebellion on your own part. is that you do not
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: even understand what God is saying.
• 39:31
  Speaker 5: Hallelujah yes the assignment of your mind is to give
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: the light of God That captures his will and his intent.
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: To give it vocabulary expressions. Now watch this. From the
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: example I gave the gentleman. Based on their level of
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: intellectual exposure. Are we together? Their levels of orientation. That
• 40:04
  Speaker 3: was what was responsible for interpreting what I said. So
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: if this gentleman is more enlightened than this one, chances
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: are excellent that his interpretation will be a lot more
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: intellectual and meticulous. Because he has an array of options.
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: You will now know why the Bible says to be transformed.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: Because your transformation puts you in a position where you
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: have an array of scriptural options to accurately interpret that
• 40:35
  Speaker 3: light you receive from your spirit. I presume that everyone
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: here has a phone. This is the same technology that
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: is used. Watch this now. How many of you remember
• 40:49
  Speaker 3: a phone called, what they call it, 3310? Come on, 3310.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: Have you forgotten so early? Are we together? Now watch this.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: And then many of you know the concept of MMS.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: Is that true? There are times when I may want
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: to send you an MMS. Maybe a picture saying, I
• 41:12
  Speaker 3: love you, God bless you. And it is captured in
• 41:15
  Speaker 3: pictorial form. Is that true? I can send it to you.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Now watch this. The goal is for you to know
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: that I care. Don't forget. The moment I press send,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: does it leave as a flower? No. It leaves as what? Waves.
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: Notice that. You are not interested in the waves. You
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: are interested in capturing the intent. That flower to give
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: you a feeling of being loved and accepted. But it
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: comes to your phone. Now notice. It will now depend
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: on the configuration of your phone. For the accuracy of
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: its interpretation. By the time those waves come into your phone.
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: The quality of your phone can misrepresent what I sent.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Is someone learning now? The phone will do its best
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: to use whatever tools are within its reach to interpret
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: what it thinks I sent. And there are times you
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: will be offended over something that should bless you. Could
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: that be what has been your situation with God? That
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: there are many times God is saying, listen, the direction
• 42:28
  Speaker 3: is left. But because of the absence of transformation, you
• 42:31
  Speaker 3: hear something else. When you upgrade that phone to a
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: better phone, you will be surprised that you now see
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: that MMS. Oh, this is what you wanted to say.
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: Now you can respond with joy. So the Bible says,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: Philippians chapter 2 from verse 5. It says, let this
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus Christ.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: There was already a construct. An intelligent word based construct.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: That even though Jesus was the word incarnate. He paid
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: the price to equip his mind. With the requisite vocabulary
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: that interprets the speakings of God. With accuracy. And Paul
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: is saying. Let this mind be in you. Which was
• 43:22
  Speaker 3: also in Christ Jesus. Someone can sleep. And there's what
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: people call sleep talking.
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: You know that?
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: Where people just say a lot of nonsense while they
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: are sleeping. And if they wake up, they can deny it. Now,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: chances are excellent that if someone is shouting and talking about, say,
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: a masquerade or something. Someone who lives, maybe somewhere in
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: the US who has never seen a masquerade. Chances are
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: excellent in his sleep talking, he may never mention the
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: word masquerade. Because it's not captured within the frame of
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: his understanding. Are we together now? Believers, please hear me.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: For as long as we ignore the supremacy of the word,
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: for as long as we do not contend for transformation,
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: there will be gaps in our perceiving the will of
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: God as far as spiritual communication is concerned. The more
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: you immerse yourself in the word, the more you are
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: giving your mind healthy scriptural tools which wish to interpret
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: the speakings, the light of God. So many believers assume
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: this is one of the reasons why I get concerned
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: when people who do not respect the word claim they
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: are hearing God and even claim they are hearing for others.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: The margin of error, I will not trust that hearing.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: Do you know why? This is an opinion that is
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: based on scripture. I will not trust that hearing because
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: the word of God is not the basis of your
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: vocabulary composition. Chances are excellent that there will be gaps
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: in your interpretation. It's the reason why, respectfully speaking, the
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: prophetic has both blessed and cursed people. Because the light
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: comes in the place of prayer. But because there is no...
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: Adequate transformation. The interpretation of the speakings of God. End
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: up deviating people from the ways of God. Listen carefully.
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: I believe in the prophetic. But let me tell you
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: our generation. And I'm speaking prophetically to the body of Christ.
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: Especially those who are called into the apostolic and the
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: prophetic ministry. Pressing to the dimension of prayer. Will expose
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: us to the realm of the spirit. And like you'll
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: be learning in my subsequent sessions. There are many voices
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Paul said. There is as it were many voices. And
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: none of them is without signification. So we need to
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: verify whether what you heard is God. And we can't
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: verify just by the pleasantness of what you heard. We
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: first need to vet the word component that was resident
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: in your mind as at the time you heard. Because
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Satan can appear as an angel of light. Listen, we
• 46:31
  Speaker 3: are living in very perilous times where there is a
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: heightened need for discernment. And discernment is not by superstition.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Discernment happens at the instance of your stability through the word.
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: You are grounded through the word. And on the basis
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: of that stability, you can decipher by the character of
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: scripture what is of God and what is not. For
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: the Bible says the spirit speaketh expressly that in the
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: latter times some shall depart from the faith and they
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: shall give heed to seducing spirits and the doctrine of demons.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: The character of seduction is that you must desire what
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: it is bringing for it to be called seduction. There
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: are many people who went to the place of prayer
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: and returned back with speakings that were not of God.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: When you judge it from the lens of the authority
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: of scripture, it is found wanting. And they took steps
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: based on their interpretations of what they felt God was saying.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: And the result that we see is not the glory
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: of God.
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: Hmm.
• 47:44
  Speaker 7: And we will never settle for less. We know there's
• 47:53
  Speaker 7: more that's found in you.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: And we will.
• 47:59
  Speaker 9: Never settle for less when we know there's more that's
• 48:07
  Speaker 9: found in you.
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: And I.
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: I've studied a bit on the history of the church
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: in Nigeria. I'm a student of history and I'm a
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: student of revivals. The reason is because I desire by
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: the grace of God, like pastor so graciously prayed and said,
• 48:40
  Speaker 3: and I'm so grateful for that compliment, sir. We intend
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: to last and stay for a long time. So the
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: goal is to find out the ingredients that sponsor longevity.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: And the way you do it is by following some
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: them who through faith and patience have obtained. There are
• 49:00
  Speaker 3: people who ran this race when others were laughing at them,
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: ignoring the word. They stayed on the stability of scripture.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: And when the dust settled like the house that was
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: built on the rock, most of them are standing today.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: Please hear me. Whether you are called into the apostolic.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: the prophetic, the evangelical, the pastoral. If you do not
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: contend for transformation, I guarantee you, you are at the
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: risk of aborting longevity. Whether in life and ministry. Gifts
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: will come and go. Celebrity ministry will come and go.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: What will keep you? The Bible says the rains came.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: The floods came. All kinds of things came. But it
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: was the house that was built. Both houses were built.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: The problem is not the building. The problem is what
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: it is built on. Hear me. If I never hear
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: the voice of God in my spirit. And I can
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: respect the authority of the word of God. It is
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: accurate enough to lead me with precision. Prophetic precision. Precision.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: I'm not downplaying gifts. Listen carefully. The Bible says to
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: covet earnestly. But I can tell you, every other gift
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: has not been tried. But the word of God has
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: been tried seven times. In fact, the Bible calls it
• 50:26
  Speaker 3: the most sure word of prophecy. I respect your administering
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: spiritual gifts to the degree to which you respect the
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: authority of scripture. I'm saying this respectfully, especially for younger
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: ministers that are coming up. The deception of gifts can
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: abort a great destiny overnight. Settle with the word. Obtain
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: grace from God to settle with the word. Let the
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: word dwell in you richly, he says. The degree to
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: which the word of God has dwelt in you richly.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: In fact, Acts chapter 20 and verse 32 says, and
• 51:15
  Speaker 3: now I commend you to God. Paul was speaking. And
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: to the word of his grace, he says, which is
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: able to build you up and to give you an
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: inheritance among them that are sanctified. Ephesians 4.18 says, having
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: their understanding darkened. It says, being alienated from the life
• 51:37
  Speaker 3: of God through the ignorance that is in them because
• 51:41
  Speaker 3: of the blindness of their minds. Is someone learning? So
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: the voice of God... Represents every spiritual channel that God
• 52:00
  Speaker 3: is able to use. To communicate his will and his intent.
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: The most important component in the voice of God is
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: not the speakings of God. But the safe transference of
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: his intent from his heart to your heart. If that
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: arrives safely, all the channels that midwife that process are
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: only enhanced by the health of your mind. No matter
• 52:31
  Speaker 3: how much you claim to hear God. If we do
• 52:35
  Speaker 3: not see his will being done. As you obey what
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: you perceive that you heard. We have a right from
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: the authority of scripture to vet it. Are we together?
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: The voice of God will always birth the will of God.
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: I started by telling you that the power of God
• 52:57
  Speaker 3: is principally responsible for the manifestation of all the possibilities
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: that we find in the life of the believer. But
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: that the power of God is jurisdictional in its operation.
• 53:08
  Speaker 3: The jurisdiction of the power of God is the will
• 53:11
  Speaker 3: of God. The power of God is not mandated to
• 53:14
  Speaker 3: function independently. Outside the will of God. And if ever
• 53:17
  Speaker 3: it functions outside of the will of God. Is to
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: bring that person or that situation. Into the will of God.
• 53:26
  Speaker 3: The end of the administration of the power of God.
• 53:29
  Speaker 3: The end of the speakings of God. Is that the
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: will of God. Be established in the life of the believer.
• 53:37
  Speaker 3: If we are together say Amen. We need to return back.
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: From this session. And begin to pay a healthy respect.
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: For the word of God. It is important that we
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: respect the word of God. Especially respectfully speaking. For those
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: of us who are laborers in the vineyard. We must
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: love and appreciate the ministry of the word. Beyond preaching.
• 54:08
  Speaker 3: I found your word and I did eat it. And
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: it was a joy and a rejoicing. Apostle, but I've
• 54:16
  Speaker 3: been trying to hear God. While you are waiting, let
• 54:19
  Speaker 3: the word dwell in you. So that when he speaks,
• 54:22
  Speaker 3: your interpretation will not retrogress. It will not retrogress you
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: again because of poor hearing. Hearing that does not come
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: through a transformed mind will carry a side effect of error.
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: Even if it was God that spoke. Because one of
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: the ways, I did a teaching one time knowing God.
• 54:49
  Speaker 3: As we prepare to pray. One of the ways, there
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: are four ways according to scripture that we know God.
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: Number one is through scripture. Scripture itself. Scripture reveals the
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: character of God so that by the study of scripture,
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: we are able to learn how God operates. The modus
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: operandi of the kingdom. The second way that we learn
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: God as revealed in the Bible are through his names.
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: The names of God are a capture of the various
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: dimensions that are contained in God. That as we learn
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: his names... We also learn him. Number three, we learn
• 55:29
  Speaker 3: God by studying Jesus. The Bible calls him the express
• 55:33
  Speaker 3: image of the invisible God. So as we study Jesus,
• 55:37
  Speaker 3: we have a right to vet everything the prophet said
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: using the reference of Jesus. That means everything they attributed
• 55:46
  Speaker 3: to God, if we did not see it in the
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: life of Jesus, we have a scriptural basis to say
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: they were in error or it was a human limitation.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: For instance, when the Bible says a lying spirit came
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: out from God. Remember that scripture?
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: Now we do not see that there is any darkness
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: in Jesus. Full of grace and truth. That is the
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: character of the Christ that was revealed. That means we
• 56:14
  Speaker 3: have a right to say either the interpreters were wrong
• 56:17
  Speaker 3: or the prophet who received that word was limited. And
• 56:20
  Speaker 3: you are not in error using the reference of Jesus.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: And the last and final way we learn God according
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: to scripture is through experience. Job said, I have heard
• 56:30
  Speaker 3: of ye with the hearing of the ear, but now
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: my eyes see at thee. You can imagine how powerful
• 56:42
  Speaker 3: it is to come and sit in a conference like this.
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: And in a moment, light enters your spirit. For some
• 56:47
  Speaker 3: of you, by reason of what you have received now,
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: in addition to all that you have heard, you will
• 56:52
  Speaker 3: know how to reject the speakings of Satan. Because, you see,
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: our focus is on getting God to speak, not necessarily
• 57:02
  Speaker 3: building capacity to interpret his speakings. And since your passion
• 57:06
  Speaker 3: is to get God to speak, Satan will help you
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: and also speak. Hear me. God speaks. Settle it. The
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: question is not whether he will speak. The question is
• 57:20
  Speaker 3: to work on your ability to accurately perceive his communications.
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: And do not limit him to a unique mode of operation.
• 57:31
  Speaker 3: Because for many of us, you are looking for God
• 57:33
  Speaker 3: to communicate in a certain way. Your faith and probably
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: limited mentorship has tilted you to understand the speakings of
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: God only through certain ways. He has the authority as
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: God to use a plethora of options. Your assignment is
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: to make sure your spirit is robust. This is why
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: fasting and prayer helps you to gain that ascendance. Like
• 57:59
  Speaker 3: a transistor radio. There's waves all the time. But if
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: your transistor radio cannot receive it, it's because you have
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: not tuned to the frequency. And do you know sometimes
• 58:10
  Speaker 3: you adjust a few digits to the frequency and yet
• 58:14
  Speaker 3: the radio will still be making a lot of noise.
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: But the moment you tune it and get there, this
• 58:20
  Speaker 3: is the assignment of prayer and fasting. To build your spirit.
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: To rise to the frequency of the communications of God.
• 58:28
  Speaker 3: But if you stop there, you are in trouble. But
• 58:34
  Speaker 3: we will give ourselves continually. Acts chapter 6 and verse 4.
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: To prayer for the ascendance of our spirit man. But
• 58:44
  Speaker 3: to the ministry of the word. For the transformation that
• 58:47
  Speaker 3: interprets his speakings. So that we can receive his communication
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: with balance, exactitude and precision. Have you been blessed? Please
• 58:58
  Speaker 3: rise up on your feet.
• 59:02
  Speaker 8: You are the one that we praise.
• 59:07
  Speaker 3: You are the one we adore.
• 59:12
  Speaker 7: You give the healing and grace that our.
• 59:18
  Speaker 8: Hearts always hunger for.
• 59:22
  Speaker 5: Our hearts always hunger for.
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: Hear me. God, if you are the one I must
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: see through a dream, that is limited spiritual understanding. So
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: you have been waiting for a dream for five years
• 59:39
  Speaker 3: and God used many other channels to say I'm waiting
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: for you. It is important to stop pegging God at
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: certain operations. Now because he is father, based on relationship
• 59:51
  Speaker 3: it is possible for you to sincerely from your heart.
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: Because the character of fatherhood according to scripture is not
• 59:57
  Speaker 3: just having children but benevolence. If you being evil know
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: how to give. There are many times he will overlook
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 3: and honor the simplicity of your faith. Even if it
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 3: is in ignorance. But when you rise to maturity in
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: the spirit, you must be able to allow the word
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 3: of God put you in a position where whether it
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 3: comes by the witness of the spirit, whether it comes
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 3: through dreams, every other spiritual operation that God speaks to
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 3: you through must pass through the sieve of the word
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: for its accurate understanding. So if you have a dream,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 3: look at me, I'm wrapping up. I shared it with
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: my people many times. If I were Joseph, please look up.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 3: If I were Joseph and Pharaoh called me and said
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 3: I had a dream. Seven cows, seven lean ones. My
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 3: mind will go straight to witchcraft, not farming. How does
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 3: cows represent years? How does plants? I would just say
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: this is destruction coming. But because he had regard. Even
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 3: though they were in the old. It is amazing. You
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 3: have given many things interpretations. Because you have used brain work.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: Not scripture. Watch this. Three of us can see a
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 3: chain in the spirit. It does not mean bondage. Ornaments
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 3: are also made of chains. So don't just say because
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 3: you saw a chain. It is bondage. No. No. No.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: You can see someone naked in the spirit and say
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 3: something is wrong. Shame. No. Nakedness also means intimacy. Listen.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 3: The basis of our remaining... In accuracy and with precision.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: As we minister the word. And as we guide God's
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: people to higher spiritual experiences. Would not be the gift
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: on our lives.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: No.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 3: As wonderful as that is. And it would not just
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: be opinions that have come. Based on age long respectfully
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 3: speaking limited mentorships. We must return to the word of God.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: And obtain grace from God to begin to bring accurate perspectives.
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: To spiritual speakings. So that God's people are built holistically.
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 3: One last example and then we pray. Assuming that because
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 3: of my work with God. God gives me an instruction.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: And says Joshua Selman you will never have more than
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 3: three cars. Now that is not a doctrine. It is
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: a personalized dealing. Because based on my work with God.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: He has vetted me to see that if I have
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 3: more than that. It can distract me. So he created
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: a unique limitation to help my efficiency. So by my obedience,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: you will see me excelling. If you come to ask
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: me what is the secret of your results, I will
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: tell you I have only three cars. Your mistake now
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 3: will be to copy me verbatim. No, you must discern
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: the essence of what God did, not just the action.
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 3: That the goal was that he wanted to constrain me
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: to be effective. You will now go to God and
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 3: receive your own version of that dealing. We have copied
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: people blindly and what has worked for one based on
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 3: the unique construct of his ministry has become the limiting
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: factor for another. I hope you were blessed tonight. Father
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: I obtain grace. Someone pray. I obtain grace in the
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 3: name of Jesus. To contend for transformation by the word.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: Go ahead and pray. I submit all my spiritual experiences.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: No matter how great they are. No matter how spectacular
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 3: they are. I submit them to the authority of scripture.
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: For proper interpretation. For proper vetting. So that I do
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: not walk in error. The margin of safety for the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 3: believer is dwelling with the word. Someone is praying. Hallelujah.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: One last prayer. Father, the grace to be a student
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: of scripture. Plant a hunger in my heart for the word.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: So that I contend for transformation. Giving you the tools
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: to accurately interpret the light that comes upon my spirit.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: Someone lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
