39. The Powers Of A Cross 3

Welcome to track #39 of the powers of a cross. #33 34, We've done 3435. OK #35 the power of the cross. Hey, volume, please. The power of the cross is the power that enables you to do what is the power of the covenant that can be made between God and man is the power that makes it possible for there to be a covenant between God and man. Matthew 26 verse 28, he said, this is my blood of the covenant which is poured out for they. What do you call it? This is the power of the covenant that can be made between God and man. Are you there? Are you there if you want to get married? I remember one lady, one lady from people proposed to her and she began to laugh at them, the people that were proposing to her. And she would say, I mean how? I mean how, how this guy Pennsylvania, when you look at me and you look at yourself, am I your type? Am I your type? Somebody like you can be married to somebody like me. What do you mean? So she disposed of all these guys who kept coming one after the other. You get it. Now, the reason why she was saying that was a revelation that will help you to understand this verse, that it is this cross that makes it possible for somebody like him to love somebody like you. You see the girls that I mean, I mean, when you look at us, look at me and look at yourself. Can somebody like you love somebody like me, me. I remember when this type of A1 refined sisters. It happened that in her area there was a tailor. Do you know what I mean by a tailor? So in Ghana, So the tailor, I don't know how come, but she was like from an upper class type of family. She came from like an upper class type of family. She was living, I think in one of these, the posh areas in Accra. And it happened that there was a tailor who was also having his shop in that area. And I think they went to the fellowship together or soon as a fellowship. And when you go to fellowship, you can't say tailors to the left, upper class to the right. So with time, the tailor and the elitist A1 girl became close and they now wanted to marry. It was not an easy covenant. The families of the tailor and the families of the upper class sister, upper class sister, and even in the Christian world it was a difficult covenant. No matter for somebody like you love somebody like me now, Someone Like You and God, where do you come to sit at a table, huh? What makes you come to sit at a table? A setting power must be at work. That's why he says that this is the blood of the the sacrifice of my of the covenant. Do you see? This is the sacrifice of the covenant. Are you there? This is the sacrifice of the covenant, covenant between me and human beings. A power has worked. For somebody like him to love somebody like you. Wow. Are you excited about that? Are you happy about that, that somebody like you could love somebody like me? Wow. So many times you just look at the covenant when a specialist is very unequally matched. I remember one sister, she had an accident, and because she had an accident, she became paralyzed. She was in a wheelchair and she could now move her arms. She could now move her legs. So a beautiful girl, beautiful girl, but she could not move her arms, she could not move her legs, and she was in a wheelchair. And so from that time nobody wanted to marry her. But one day a Chinese man came. You see, that is what the Bible says. For God commended his life towards the Wows. We were yet seen. Christ died for us, came to make an agreement with us. So the Chinese man came and he said beautiful American lady, but she was paralyzed, she can't move, she cannot hold. Her husband said honey, I love you or this or even anything. She can't move nothing, just sit down. So the Chinese man came say, I love you, baby. Yeah, I said. Everybody was taught to say so one day the Chinese man said, I want to marry you. Everybody was amazed, was surprised. Can it be? And lo and behold, he had a wedding. Sometimes it causes me to wonder, You are the cripple in the wheelchair, like the frog without legs, and here is somebody who is moving and walking. So he had a wedding and he married her. Then we were all there when we saw that she was pregnant. Somebody who cannot lift up the legs. You see, you are the person who cannot even lift your legs. You cannot even lift your arms to help yourself. And God said I'll marry you. You cannot make even Stew, rice, bread, tea, nothing. You cannot do anything in the world. You cannot even go into bed. You cannot come out of the bed. You only lie. When you are lying down, you lie and somebody says I want you, I mean you. So you people think the person is mad. That is, that is, that is a power that will make somebody be attracted to that person, to marry the person, to have a child with the person. So one day I saw these two people, myself, the man, and then they were talking about their marriage, the wife said. The woman said our marriage was different. The problem that we have is also different because I cannot move. I marvelled. Yeah. So when Jesus littered up his body and said this is the reason why I can marry somebody like you and make an agreement with you, there's only a power. A power, Yeah. You see now when you take your cross and go, you release a power that can make God love Madras and agree to marry a Madras God would agree to marry. I mean down and out armed robbers, thieves, killers, wicked people. Oh is it not powerful? Sometimes it causes me to wonder. Just to think that I was so bad that you knew what about my past, but that didn't make you any different. That didn't make you any. Different you could fix all of that. I got so excited till my heart get escaped the beat. Feel so good to be understood. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes it causes me to tremble. Sometimes it causes me to shed some tears. Sometimes it causes me to tremble when I think that somebody somebody like. If you don't tremble, you are not a tremble Christian. Like. I want to see some trembling. Think that somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like you. Sometimes it causes me to tremble, sometimes it crosses me to shed some tears, sometimes it crosses me to tremble when I think that somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like me. Just to think that somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like me. I was a perfect example. I'm living a life with no blood, a life that was broken and charted in pieces that you put together again. When I'm down, when I feel insecure, it's when your love is going to last. You said your love isn't just that emotion, it's just a matter of fact. Oh, sometimes it crosses me in a trap. Oh, sometimes it causes me to shave something. Sometimes it causes me in a trap. Oh, when I think that somebody, somebody like you loves somebody like me, just to think that somebody somebody like you but loves somebody like me, sometimes it crosses me in a trap. No, sometimes it causes speed to shame. Oh. Somebody. Sometimes it causes speed to trim. Come on and. I. Think that somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. Just to think that somebody somebody like you will love somebody like you. Sometimes it causes me to trim, sometimes it causes me to shed some tears, sometimes it causes me to tremble when I think of somebody, somebody like you but love somebody like me. Has to think of somebody somebody like you but love somebody like you. I can't imagine how a king believes thrown to die for me on the cross. He didn't condemn me nor put me down. He just loved me. Turn my life around. Sometimes it causes me to tremor, sometimes it causes me to shed some tears. Sometimes it crosses me to travel and I think that somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like me. When I think of somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like me. Sometimes it causes me to travel, sometimes time because the speed is shed some tears, sometimes because the speed is tremble and I think that somebody somebody like you love somebody like me. That's the thing that somebody, somebody. Like you, love somebody like you. I think that somebody somebody like you will love somebody like me. Just to think that somebody, somebody like you will love somebody like. Me. Sit down. Hey, the blood of Jesus is powerful. Oh, the cross of Jesus is powerful covenant. Who has released the power to make such a covenant between God and somebody like you? And that's the kind of power. That's why there are a lot of drunkards in Catherine Kuhlman's ministry, a lot of them drunkards who gave their lives to Christ and were changed power. May God and the drunkard work together. Now there's another power that is released, one more power, La, the power of the cross is the power that provides the basis for our justification, juicy justification. And the verse I want you to look at there is Romans chapter 5, verse 9. Much more than being now justified by His blood, we shall be saved from wrath through Him. Romans chapter 5, then nine verse 9, being justified by His blood. We justify everybody say justified. How are you justified by the blood? The blood of the cross. There is a verse in Colossians which describes the blood of Jesus as the blood of the cross, the blood of the cross. Anytime you see the cross, the blood, the blood is the blood of the cross. Amen. Are you there? OK, now what is it that makes you justified? Let me show you this verse in collusions. Collusions, chapter one, verse 20. And having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him, to reconcile all things unto himself, by him, I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven, it calls the blood of Jesus. The blood of what? I can't hear you, the blood of his cross. Amen. The blood of the cross, blood of his cross. So whenever you see the blood, it's the blood of the cross. It's not that the blood of the Lamb, but it's the blood of the cross. Amen. It's one of the descriptions of the blood of Jesus. It's the blood of his cross and it's found only in this vest collusions. All right, now, whenever you see people, have you noticed on Sky News, they have these people whose relative has been killed, child has been killed and they found the killer and they are going to court, isn't it? Have you noticed a lot? They have it a lot and they and they really want the guy to be put in jail. The reason is that they feel justified. They don't feel any sense of wrongdoing. They feel they are good and this is a very evil man. Who has done this or done this or done that? So there's that sense of justification, all right now it comes from not being conscious of your sins. Sometimes we realize that this justification that God gives to us is something that we need greatly to be able to do well. Strength comes with justification. When you are very conscious of your sin. If you're past sin, sometimes you can't do very well. And you're talking about some things. You say this is me, La. You don't can't preach about certain things, you know, OK, but there is a power that can make you, having been even a murderer, to speak about murder and be strong. There is a power that having destroyed marriages, you can speak with strength into such issues. There is a power that having been an adulterer and a fornicator can give you strength. Still to be a what a powerful helper of people who have had such, who have such and with strength and justification as though you see justification. They always used to tell us when, when SU. It means just as if you didn't do it justification. Remember that definition from Scripture Union to be justified means to be just as if you didn't do it. How many are glad that it's just as if, and I'm here to give you or pray for you or help you to be strong and to have in your within you a strength about everything, even if you have done one or two to all, four to one or 200. Hey, I can't hear it well, I said I can't hear it well. Now I'm going to show you one of the greatest examples of justification. I don't think you've seen it before. How many want to see? Do you want to see justification? Hey, God is wild. Oh, the power is too wild. OK, Matthew 26. Now Peter, Matthew 26, verse 69. Are you there? Have you found 69? Now let's look, let's look at Peter. Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant girl came to him and said, You too were with Jesus the Galilean, but he denied it. Now circle the word, deny that he denied it before all of them, saying, I do not know what you are talking about. When he had gone out to the gateway, another seven girls saw him and said to those who were there, This man was with Jesus of Nazareth. And again, again, everybody say again, how many want to be justified about something that you've done? Again and again and again, over and over again and again. He denied it with an oath. I do not know the man, I don't know him. A little later the bystanders came up to Peter and said, Surely you 2 are one of them. For even the way you talk now, you must talk. When you belong to a church, you must talk in a certain way. I said. When you belong to attach human talk in a certain way, la, that is what shows that you are from there la, true la. Even the way you talk la, it shows, it gives you away. You know, one day I met somebody who wanted to marry somebody. I was trying to assess the person and I thought I was going to have a difficult time to assess the person. But after I talked for just a few minutes, a few words, la that the person that I realized or the person is in the house because there is a way you talk, la then you see the person is from the house, la Yes, but no, 2 words. One day one of our pastors went to preach in the prison. There's a lot of prisoners. When he was as he was preaching there, somebody started to forgive him. He said, Are you here, LA? The lassie was pretty. Some people shouted Messy, messy. There were no two members in the prison. So, and you can tell when somebody is not really part of the house, even a church, you can tell whether a whole church is not really part of the house. And the way the church is and how they talk, like you can tell it's a message. It's a sausage with some small bacon. They said even the way you talk gives you away. Then he began to kiss. I swear, I swear my mother, I swear my father, I swear God. I do not know him. I've not seen him before and immediately a rooster crewed and Peter remember the words which Jesus had said before a rooster crews you will deny me three times. And he went out and he wept bitterly. Hey, Peter was he was just like Judas only that he didn't kill himself and he didn't have money involved, but he denied knowing Jesus then with me to Acts, Acts chapter 3. You know this story a certain man was laying and Peter and John verse one went up to the temple at the hour of prayer being the 9th hour. Are you there? And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple, which is called beautiful. So ask alms of them that entered into the temple. Who's seen Peter and John about to go into the temple? Ask an alms. And Peter fastened his eyes upon him with John said, Look on us. And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. And then Peter said, Silver and gold, have I none but such as I have gave I thee the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Rise up and walk. And he took him by the right hand and lifted him up. And immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength, and He, leaping up, stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God. And all the people saw him walking and praising God, and they knew it, that it was He which sat at the arms, sat for arms at the beautiful gate of the temple. And they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened to them. And as the lame man which was healed help Peter and John, all the people ran together, and to them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wandering. Now when Peter saw it, now it was time to preach. Now he answered and said unto the people, Ye man of Israel, why marvel ye at this, or why look ye so earnestly on us? Ever look at me and say, Peter was now preaching with confidence, Or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we have made this man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, and the God of our fathers has glorified His Son Jesus, whom ye delivered up and denied him. You denied him in the presence of pilots, when he was determined to let him go. Now look at first, there's 40. But you deny the Holy One, and adjust, and desire a murderer to be granted unto you, and kill the Prince of life, from whom God has raised from the dead, whereof we are witnesses. Look at somebody who is preaching about denying of Christ. I can't hear the thing very well. I said look at somebody who is preaching about denying of Jesus Christ. You deny, you deny, you deny with strength, just if its only a setting power that can make you just as if you are not the one that is in the preaching. Just as if, just as if deny Christ three times, then when you see people, when you see people and you are coming to preach to them instead of speaking gently, you said by the call of Abraham, the call of Isaac has glorified his Son Jesus, whom you delivered and denied him in the presence of Pilate when he was determined to give him up. He has mentioned denied once and he continues, I want to emphasize on the topic of denial of Christ. So he mentioned him in verse 13. Then he goes to his next point which is in verse 14. He said, But you deny the Holy One and the just, and desired a madra to be granted unto you, and kill the Prince of life, whom God has raised from the dead, and through his name and faith in His name God has made this man strong. This is the power of the blood of Jesus Christ, so he said. We are justified through the blood of the cross, just as if just as if you never touched it before. This is the power that God can give a person. You deny if he was You are the first denier. You are the first denier in the history of Christianity. First person to deny. Even yours was prophesied and you you fell into it directly. You were told you were won't and you were advised and you did it. But he stands just as if he hadn't done it before. That's how God is making you out there. Just as if. Just as if you were a virgin. Yeah, you'll be just as if you were a virgin. Just as if you were a virgin. Just as if you were holy. Just as if you're not a liar or a thief. Just as if you're not a wicked person. You see, that is why the devil accuses you when you decide to go and preach. He tries to bring up things, not you, not you. Let others speak. So he will tell this role. Don't speak. If you tell, don't speak. Let these people speak. But he's also telling these people, don't speak. Let these people speak. He's also telling these people, no, no, not you, not you, you know yourself. Let these people speak. So he's telling everybody to shut up, not knowing that he's saying the same thing to ebb. So it's just a few people who can break out and say, hey, hey, hey, I'm justified just as if I never did it. And you preach with strength, and say you are deniers of Christ, you deniers of Christ, you are deniers of Christ, just as if the power of is the powers of a cross. The blood of Jesus there is something new. The cross of Christ is something cross of Jesus. That's why Paul said, me, I determined to know Jesus Christ and him crucified. This is what I came here to discuss yes, for my topic is Christ and him crucified. That's what can qualify every single one of us listening here to stand here and speak about holiness, speak about God, speak about heaven, speak like as if you are an Angel standing a point to the wheel. Deny, deny. Nice. Hey, it's fantastical. It's amazing. How don't you give Jesus a clap often? 37, I'm sure. And you know, we are not going to finish. To be continued another time. OK, OK, OK. The power of the cross is the power, all right. The power of the cross is the power that gives the evidence that God will bless you with everything that you need in this life. Power of the cross. Yeah. It's the greatest evidence that God is going to give you everything, anything. Car, house, cross is rather the highest message of prosperity. The highest message of prosperity. What do you think? OK, OK. Romans 832. Have you found Romans 832? He that spared not his own son, that delivered him up for us all, How shall he not with him freely give us all things? All right, What do you think? Now, as soon as you see that the Cross has not been stopped from you, has not been withheld, Christ's cross was not withheld, but you should know that there is nothing else that will be withheld is evidence because the biggest thing has been given. The rest are small, small Donuts and pies. Yeah, yeah. Just something not small. If somebody says I'm going to give you 100 and 17,000 and it sends 107 thousand, what do you think about the 10? Because the big one, when you send me a 10, the reason why my answers are very short. You see all these are people different, different issues. Tanzania here, Accra, Cape Coast, these there are different things. So when you get an answer, wow, good. Nice. You should be very happy. But how can I sit down? Somebody said that asking me that in prayer. Should you pray to the Holy Spirit, to the Father or to the Son? How can I answer? I don't know what I'm doing. Are you there? OK, OK, OK good good. Now the big one has been sent, the small ones are on their way. House is on their way car It was already given now. I remember when I started the ministry, my dream car was a Pijo 4/05 there was a golden brown now. No, no, no. I remember in yeah, I remember in Akuse, the person was working for VRN, he was selling a car, Golden Brown and I was at Percedes House, he was working at Akuse there. And I would, I would get up in the morning at dawn and go for a prayer walk. But my prayer work would end up at the house and I would stand out early in the morning when people have not got up and I would look at the gate. You could see through the gate and that walls are very short. I saw the car standing there, brown 4/5. Wow. I don't know whether it was air conditioned, but just pijo. Wow. These are why God doesn't want you to struggle over. What's a car, it's nothing for God, what's a husband, it's nothing. What's a child, it's nothing, it's nothing. Is there anything too hard? When he has given his son, If he did not spare, the word he used is spare. When he was giving you, he did not spare his son. He could have spared his son. As I will not spare him, then there is nothing that is good that he would. So if he hasn't given it to you, then it's not good yet for you. That's all. That's it. It's not good and maybe he has to time it well and maybe it's the best thing for you. There are some stories we can't share, but some of the worst things in your life are the best things in your life. You see, there are people who are disappointed that you were born in Africa with an African face with a black skin and therefore you are despised. You know, sometimes you see these people in this hotel, the way they talk and their behavior, so you can see how they have an attitude straight away, you know, but if you had had the white skin, you may be sitting up there somewhere else not even believing in God. And because you are who you are, you have the humility to be here and to listen to preaching. Is it not better than going to hell? Think about it. So, so sometimes what you think is your greatest disadvantage in this world is actually this is really this is really your main gift. The main gift of your life is that thing. So some of the unfortunate things in our life which have directed us into 70, they're actually the main thing, the main thing of your life. Without it you wouldn't. I mean when, when, when, when I was brought here, my uncle wanted me to stay in Newcastle, Sunderland, to go to school. I said no way, I want to stay here. See, by that time, God already touched my heart. He meant more to me than any of these things. He meant more to me. You get it? He meant more to me. Go to medical school here. No, no, no, no. God meant more to me. Yeah. I'm blessed that I serve the Lord. Happy the Seniazos of my life, they have been the greatest blessing of my life. The Orangus, They have been a nice humbling experience of man. They gave me a book to write when I speak to you must have been through a lot. You sound so an old person, very experienced at your age, seem to know so many things, one story after another. Every time you know something somebody did, this happens. Certain man is certain, ladies, sometime, one time this. And every time you hear a new story that you've not heard before. Yeah, all those things, they are painful when they happen and they are funny when you are telling them one day. And so you should look at all your painful things and sometimes you should be a bit light hearted. Make fun of yourself. I mean, don't take yourself too seriously. Take it easy, LA. I said take it easy la. You're too serious about everything. Too serious. Why relax? So he has not withheld, he has not spared, he has not spared his son. But a house is not something he will struggle over to give to him. And a car. He will not struggle about giving you a car. He's not going to struggle to give you money. No, no, he didn't spare. The word is spared, not give spare. When his son was begging him, he just when his son was begging him. And the prayer that Jesus prayed is what made me know that it was a real prayer. He said that I know that with Thee all things are possible. That means that I know that with God there is another way that can be possible. That was a prayer that He prayed to God. It shows you that it was a real prayer. It was a serious bargain and a plea and God his father kept quiet. His father did not spare him for you. What again is he going to withhold? So you tell me what is going to withhold from you? So when he calls you and said take up your cross, by taking up your cross you are and him not sparing you your life, it shows you that there is nothing, that since he's not sparing you, there's nothing else that he cannot spare for your sake. I cannot give to you. Yeah, but he does not spare. It's a sign. Yeah, it's a sign. Once you see one day you see a person withhold something, you know. Yeah. Even a man's life, you can see. Before you marry him, you can see some evidence of how he is depending on what he will spare when he buys you perfume. Instead of buying Gucci, you buy Poochie or Calvin Clinton instead of Calvin Klein. He has gone to buy Calvin Clinton because he wanted to spare his money. So you you can see Coco Chantelle instead of Chanel Coco Chantelle because he wanted to spare his money. So you see, you can sort of have a feeling if he spared that $100, you can show that when he gets married, he's going to withhold a whole lot of things from him instead of buying Calvin. But what? Calvin Clinton? Calvin Clinton, Calvin Clinton perfume. Hey Calvin Clinton. You withhold it and it shows that when you get married you will withhold. You will never buy anything for your wife. Yes, you will never buy and we are going to suck you from our association. Christian's husband. You are a shame to Christian husband. When was the last time you bought a dress? Do you even know your wife's size? I'm calling your mobile directly. But you know the size of Oprah Winfrey when you see her on television. They don't know her size, the size of her panties, and the size of other things. You know only your size, only your own size, Shay. You bought, you bought perfume, Tesco flowers, perfume. So Tesco flowers, Tesco flowers. Then when your wife opens that you bought a perfume, then she finds that it is a refresh now that I've got no perfume. Perfume. Because you want to spare you. Want to spare a few pounds? Oh you are? Say cancel this. None. Are you listening? What you spare is she says something about you. You take your wife to the restaurant, order some food, everything that she wants. You say no, it's expensive. No, no, no, no, this one, this one is expensive. No, no, no, no, no. When they bring the food, you say we can buy a whole chicken with this money while she's ordering drink. He said no, no, no, no water. Better to drink water as you do want sparkly or still. So no tap tap water. You are sure you want to spare your 10 pounds, 20 lbs? Hey, So what you spare is a revelation about your love and what generosity to expect. Oh yeah, what to expect in the future. You see, like people counting things. No, no, no. I wonder, even when you go to McDonald's and you say Big Mac and super size. No super size. No, no, no. Big size, small size. Everything small, Small size. Everything small. You're wasting money. You're wasting the money. It's a revelation. It's a revelation about your kindness. That's why when God did not spare his son, it was a very wild revelation of what he will not spare. Oh yeah. That's why his servants when when he sends his servant and he sends his servant, he does not spare any good thing from them. That's not withholding. There's nothing to him. When I gave my son whatever these ones are nothing. It's just, I mean, £20.50, that's nothing. You get a feeling. What type of patient is this? And I ordered said no don't order this. These ones are expensive. This one is 150. This one is £131.30. This one is £1.50. Buy the £1.30 Calvin Clinton Chantelle, Chantelle Coco Chantelle. When you marry such a person, you must know you are going to eat Gary in your house forever. Sit down. All right, all right, all right. The power of the cross is the power that can provide all good things for us. Is it not a powerful thing? The power of the cross is the power of the healing ministry. Power of the healing ministry. Healing is in the cross. The more the sacrifice of your life, the more of healing. Anointing the cross released the healing power, but he was wounded for our transgression. He was wounded for our transgression. He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement of our peace was upon him. Come in Marcella, what is the same of the song? I expect a miracle. How many know that when Jesus Christ comes, that is why when when the Lord sent me to half crusades, he told me pray for the sick. I must pray for the it's very important to him that I pray for the sick and that I do the healing aspects. It's very important to the Lord because, you know, sometimes you, you have somebody and you tell the person, look, I've paid for this, I've paid for this, so get it. I've paid for it. You don't pick it up, you know? Yeah, I paid for it. Just take it. And you don't, you don't go and get it. It's very something, especially if it was an expensive thing, you know? So he brought out transgressions on the tree, and by his stripes we are healed. And I expect a miracle today and go. And I expect a miracle today. If nothing is impossible, if you just believe and say that I believe God's word is still the same and I expect a miracle today. Woman with the issue of the life, she said to herself, If I can touch by his clothes, I know I will be home. She pressed through the crowd from behind. She touched his clothes. Her blood began to dry. She knew she received the miracle she needed that day. The centurion with the servant who was ill heard that Jesus had the power to make him well and he said to the Lord, if you just speak the word, I know my servant will be healed. Jesus can't go your way. Just believe you will find your Servant healed and free, because you came expecting your miracle from me, and I expect my miracle today when nothing is impossible. If you just believe and say I believe God's Word is still with yourself, I expect my merry heart to die. You may feel any end of your own. Circumstances don't provide you much hope, but your heart is sad. I know they're great and I know what the Word of God will always stand short to know what He said He will do you just expect Him to. A miracle will happen to you, so don't be moved. Things that you see, look to Jesus and what your face believes that Jesus is the same as he was yesterday and he was miracles for those who still believe to speak the word out of faith and you will see your life began to change because you came expecting a miracle to tell. Oh Lord, I expect my miracle today for nothing is impossible. And I just dream and say that I, I believe your word is still this day. I expect my miracle today. Do you expect your miracle today? For nothing is impossible when you just believe and say Lord. I believe your word is still the same I expect. My miracle. Wow. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful, beautiful. It's beautiful. Is it not beautiful? And that's what God wants us to do to, to go because he paid. It's also one of the things he paid for. You know when sometimes we go to a place and we at the hotel and they tell us to order, order what you need. It's all part of it. Breakfast. It's part of go eat. You get it Ramada, go eat, eat, eat. If you, if you, if you don't eat, you are losing on something important that has been paid for. You get it. So this is what God does. He has paid through the power of the cross for healing. Now, before you will have healing, it means you will also have to take a cross and healing will come. That cross is the cross of shame. Not only I want to preach someone, you know, that thing, I have to be healed of it. For somebody to say, oh, just a headache or just like this or nobody's healed or somebody you know, or just a little, it's not a real healing. You need to take that thing on. And that's also something that actually keeps most pastors out of healing and out of praying for the sick as well as their own sicknesses, which they are unable to cure. It's another cross. And until you take that cross, you will not actually see. It's been a big journey for me to enter into miracle ministry. Yeah. I'm just about to start some new miracles there. Nothing is impossible. Miracle service in the Kodesh. Yeah. So that is the main thing is to take up that. I don't care. I don't care what you think of me. I don't care what? I don't care what, sorry. I don't care what you feel. I don't have power. I am nothing. It's this, it's that it's a shameful sort of feeling of whatever. It's a cross you have to have. No, that's how you have to be. And without that cross, you get it. You never really walk into. You can't stay. You may enter and you return. You go and come. Thank God it's not easy to stay there. You see, Philippa, you can have a monthly miracle service in your church. Yeah. Monthly miracle service. Don't come for me. Pray for you. Pray for the people. Yeah. Now, you see, you have to put aside all shame. You are a doctor. You have to say, oh, my head was, I was feeling dizzy at this place. It's gone. I had a pain that went to the right, to the left, and it came to the side and it came up again and it has gone. And you ask yourself, what is this? What is this? It's like you are a fool, like as if you haven't been to school before because the cross make when you're hanging on the cross with your panties or even without panties. Are you not a fool? Are you not a case? And that is what God wants us to take. Foolishness. He has chosen things that are despised. And I tell you, look at the crusade. I've got another film. I'll not show you this time. Maybe another time. Next time you see somebody in this last crusade. He came from his para waiter. When he heard that we were there. You see him testify, say he could not walk, he could not walk. He came, he was whatever and he was healed. He said where He said he said I am God to him. You just look at this person. And he came to Donko Chrome from far away in the eastern region where we had had another crusade just to be there with a delegation. We were healed that that crusade. Yeah, it's amazing. And you see that this last crusade we had wheelchairs, cripple nights, were cripples after cripples, could not walk, walking, I remember only in a wheelchair for years. She go the first day she came out, just like this Grace, you remember. And the next day, by the next day she came, she was jumping on the stage. Somebody would have been paralyzed in a wheelchair for years. You see. You can never see these things unless you are not as shy. The shy ones who come and then you do it. The testicles coming out in half. Assini Yeah. You saw it on the Where do you see testicles? No testicles. It came. No testicles. It came. There were two, There was one. We've had one somewhere and we had two in half. Assini, There was a guy who had none other two. Power has come. The cross has brought us healing by his wounds we are healed. Amen. OK, OK. The next one, the power of the cross, is the power to reconcile as to God. Romans 510. Now is that #40 no #40 Oh, sorry, 39 Sorry, I was on 41. The power of the cross is the power that releases eternal life into the souls of people. For God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So it's the power that release eternal life. And as you go to places and you work for God, and you suffer, and you give your life, and you give up everything, many people will have eternal life #14 the power of the cross is the power to deliver us from this present evil age. Is this not a present evil age? Tell me, are there not present evil ages around? What is happening? Have you found this evil in Galatians chapter one, verse 4? What does it say? OK, what does it say? Who gave himself for our sins so that he might deliver us from this present evil world? Wow. According to the will of God and our Father. Are you glad about that? God gave himself for us in order that he may deliver us from this present evil world of homosexuals of I mean, Madras, pedophiles, drug addicts, I mean, are you not delivered from all these things? So I mean, that's the power that has been released in your life. Think about it. Think about how you how many realize that you started on that road small or even big and then through a power I said through a certain power you were removed from that road and put on another Rd. delivered from the present evil age. Is it not fantastic? Is it not amazing? Glad for Jesus. OK, can I have three people who think you would have been drug addicts come to the front? You'd have been drug addict in this present evil world. Come, come, 123. Quick, quick, quick. Yeah. How many did you think you would have been drunkards? Come drunkards. Also join those who think you would have been drunkards. Homosexuals. How many think you would have been homosexuals if you think you'd have been homosexuals to come? If you think you'd have been adulteress to come? Adulteress you see some of you, you, you are, you are men, but they've told you that you look like a girl or that your face is femalish. You see all that you have whatever. And then adulteress how many think you would have been what again? Paedophiles. Paedophiles Sleeping with children. Sleeping with children. OK, Prostitutes, you tell me you have also been a prostitute. Come quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick, quick. Look at how many. The rest of you are all holy people, all holy, holy people here. All of you are holy people. There's nothing wrong with you. There have been anything. There have been anything but Christ through his cross has delivered you, all of you, from this evil wells. Give Jesus a mighty shout and a clap offering Hallelujah. How many know that there is a crowd like this in Paris and in France who are waiting to be delivered from this evil world? How many know there's a crowd like this in Czechoslovakia and Poland and Uzbekistan and Ukraine and Belarus and Russia who are waiting to to be deleted from this current evil world? Have you ever watched a documentary on abortion in Russia? Oh, abortion is like shaking hands. Every woman come, No. Open your leg. This scrapes, scrapes. Then you go out all the time. Every man, they come scraping, scraping, scraping. Open your leg. They put this like a fork. They put you in the script. Scrap the baby out there you go. You bleed for some time, then you go come all the time. No, I said that's how they just clear the babies all the time. Come. And we script for you all the time. China twists like that. Yeah. This desert, this evil world. And some of you have done abortions. And so Can you imagine if you're doing it on a monthly basis or two every two months? It wouldn't be nice. Thank you, Jesus. That is the meaning of thank you Jesus. How many understand the meaning of the word Thank you Jesus. This is the meaning of the word thank you Jesus. He has delivered us from this present evil age through his cross and his powerful sacrifice, we have been set. That's what we call my Lord and my God and my Deliverer, my Saviour. You understand and say my Saviour. Yes. Let's think about our God, our Saviour and our King, the one who gave it all. He gave up everything, now we should be his friends, his friends until the end. Wow, clap for Jesus, clap for Jesus. You may go back to your seats and the righteous ones are greet them when you get back. Those who didn't need salvation, they are all in their chairs. I. OK, OK, OK, OK, good, good. Now 41 the power of the cross is the power to reconcile us to God. For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God, Romans 5 verse 10, we were reconciled to God. I'm going to give you 3 in a row. So I think we can finish. We can try and scan through some quick ones. OK, OK, OK, Good, good. The power of the cross is the power to reconcile us to God. OK. Romans 510 When we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son. We were reconciled by what? What reconciled us by the death of his Son. You see, what I'm sharing with you is showing you the effect of the death of Christ. Very wild thing. He reconciled us by the death of His Son. It is all in this cross, and the death and the blood and the sacrifice contains your reconciliation. We were reconciled by the death of His Son. Every single verse I've given you shows you a specific effect of the death, the blood, the cross of Jesus Christ in its different effects. Reconcile making the ability to make a covenant with two unusual partners, like a cow and a frog getting married, a frog and a cow joining and having a baby. And every time the frog has to pick up his wife, the the the cow has to pick his wife. The frog Is the effect of this cross plan. Forgive to justify make you as if as if as if you never you stand and you'll be talking. So yeah, sometimes you know the way you do not even care to the people to ask you. But you lie. You lie. No, you can't. OK. You're so pure. You're so angelic one day. That was one of my pastors. He has an angelic face. Yeah, whenever I see him, he's so angelic. But my greatest surprise was when he said that he was a drunkard. I have several former drunkard pastors. If I actually know my mind has come to two angelic looking pastors. Both of them look angelic and they were both wild drunkards. I mean drunkards manifest, become unconscious. I mean, do foolish things and you see them angelically looking around the blood, the cross a a powerful a power to create an unusual group of people zealous of good works. Amen. OK, OK, good, good power to reconcile us the next one, the power to bring us to God, which is similar to reconcile first Peter 3 verse 18. For Christ also has suffered once for sins. He has suffered for sins, for the just and for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit. Amen. What do you think #43 the power of the cross? Is the power that brings a person near Ephesians chapter 2, verse 13, he says, But now in Christ Jesus, ye who was sometimes far, far off, are made nigh by the blood of Christ. You are made nigh by the blood sacrifice makes you near. Yeah, I remember when Pastor Obi was here, I told him when you go to Kenya or when you go out there, you'll be closer to me than when you are in London, even though I have not seen you in London. Yeah, because there is a certain fellowship that exists between people who have given up everything that you can't have between people who have not given up everything. It's true. I mean, it's a reality. When we were in medical school, there was a certain fellowship that exists between medical students that does not exist between medical students and English students. Lots of students. We were not that close. But those of us who were suffering in the school, we became close, Closer and closer. We are squeezed together. Yeah. So there's a certain way of talking and understanding things that comes when you have given upsetting. So it has a power when you give up your credit to bring you nearer to something that you are not near to. Now you can only sit back and analyze it and say this, this, but there's a certain nearness and coming close, it's the power to bring you near, bring you close, you that are far, brought new. So when you take up your cross, cross has the power of bringing you nearer. Even those of us who have come to the camp, we are ready to sacrifice Monday's work, Tuesday's work and Wednesday's work. And the white people will count it and deduct it and add it to that thing and fix it on your life, then change your holiday and deduct this and do this whole. But not everybody's prepared to do that. But for those who are prepared to do that, LA, there's a certain fellowship. And those of us, even those of us who have been at certain camps and we have been through, there's a certain fellowship that exists. Yeah. So don't resist the cross because the cross, your cross, is giving you access to certain people that you would never have thought you would ever be close to. Something that looks becomes so close to you. I remember one of the people that worked with me so as far and in another in another branch, I never ever spoke to the person or anything. One day I met a person, I was introduced a person. I shook the person's hand. She did not have her bath for the next couple of days because I have shaken her. That's a kind of reference. I shook her hand. She didn't bath the next day. She didn't bath because the hand that was shaking. Yeah. And when she gave up her job, she became near to what looks so far. Yeah, came near. Is it not amazing that giving absence can suddenly transport you from a distant location and deposits you at where it looked so extreme? Extremely. How can I ever talk to such a person? Wow. This is the power of the cross. You see, when you Pastor Joe, you were not prepared to give up. You get it. In those days, it took you far. You were near and it took you fast, so as you were even being ejected, or not even, you were ejecting yourself forever. The people at the meeting were all asking you why? Why? Why do you want to go away? Are you understanding the sausage of the message? OK, OK, we are going to have a break in a few moments. How many are enjoying the powers of a cross? Are you surprised that the cross is powerful? You are surprised the powers that are in the cross, it's more powerful than any of us ever knew. Reconcile us, bring us to God, make a cow and a frog, marry and live happily ever after. A covenant. That's what Jesus said. This is the blood of my of the covenant. A new of this work can make such a covenant possible. A holy person, wicked, mad dress, lion thieves, every I can marry them. How many do you have? 4344 The power of the cross is the power that enables us to belong to God. Now how many would like to be owned by a rich person? I mean by God if you were a dog and your owner was a poor man at Nima residential area of Ghana. Oh, I don't know what residential area you have in Zimbabwe, but and your owner was a millionaire in Yorkshire or Bournemouth. Would you like to be a dog in Nima in Ghana or a dog in Yorkshire? Hey, you get a nice cushion to eat, to sleep on. You have your own personal doctor. If you are a dog here, you have your own dog hospital, Their own what? Dog saloon. Yeah, your dog insurance. Look, dog passport. You have your own passport. They'll take you for a walk on the back. If you are owned by a millionaire in Yorkshire, that if you are owned by a poor man, a watchman, security guards somewhere at ABBA Blushi, before you realize you'll be the way you do. Whoa, whoa. They'll say, hey, kebab come and they will make you into kebab right now. They will add you to the beef that they are selling. Hey, I said, hey, one day I invited somebody to come somewhere, I forgot where, who, maybe I'll remember. And the person said it's just one problem for me, for us to come. Ah, yes, I remember now where this one was. Switzerland. It's our difficulty is that we have to take our dog to a hotel. It's a hotel for dogs. As I'm coming and pay hotel bills for the dogs to travel. For me to travel and come, I need to take my dog to a dog's hotel. Yeah, there's all those bills. You can't just leave the dog outside and go and come. No, no, no, no, no. When you come to Africa, who let the dogs out? Who let the dogs out? They are all out. It's not about who led the dogs out. They are out already. How many would like to be owned by a millionaire? Let's read it. That's what the power of the cross has done in First Corinthians chapter 6. What was it? Second First Corinthians 6 here know, you know that your body is the temple of God, which is in you, which you have of God, and you are not your own, for you are bought. You are bought How many? I'm happy that you've been bought with a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body and in your spirit. So you have changed ownership after being at Kenyan Nairobi Slams. You have been transferred to a millionaire's house in Switzerland. Now you have insurance, you have your own passport, you have your own hotel. Bubble bath dogs, bubble bath dog shampoo. You not bathe with rainwater again, You not bathe in a gutter again. You bathe with shampoo, special shampoo from special designer shops for dogs. Pedigree, What charm. That's what you eat. Tin. They buy a food tin Food dog toothpaste. You have toothpaste to brush your teeth, Mr. Dog, because a new owner has bought you. I have good news for you today. God has bought you out of the hands of darkness and out of the hands of the devil. He said He has bought you. And what was the price that he paid? He bought you. He has purchased you with his own blood and the cross. So now I have a new owner, a new boss. This is one of the things the Cross has done. You have been transferred and been made into the you are now owned by a rich, great, powerful person. So you now have your own shampoo, you have your own bubble bath, your own hotel. And they will, when they die, I leave all one man. He was, have I told you that story before? He was very, very, very distant with his wife. He was not happy with that. So when he died, he wrote in his will, my house, my days, my days, all those things. So he left everything to the cat. And then he left only one thing, his wife. The Bible for her to change her ways. It's a sausage. He left a Bible for his wife. He left the house and everything to the cats. Look at another verse in Acts chapter 2220. The power of the cross is the power that enables you. 20 verse 28. Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the Church of God, which he has purchased with his own blood. He said, Be very careful with these people, very careful. Tenderly, now gently, he has bought them. With his blood He has bought them. Christ came to buy us back through his blood. He repurchased us from ownership. When the devil stood on the pinnacle and showed that Jesus the world, he said all these are mine. It's mine to give you. He owned the world. That's why that song is not completely correct. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hands. He's got the whole world in his hand. He's got the whole world in his hand. The devil is the God of this world, and many of the things in this world are in the control of the devil. And that's why he pointed out that is why not all money comes from God. Yeah, when you think that you have received money and you are rich and you're like, it's not all money that comes from God. A lot of money comes from the devil, and that is why he governs the use of it. And he doesn't allow it to come into the Kingdom and doesn't allow it. And he uses it to destroy the people that he gives it to. He gives it to them to destroy them. Many people are destroyed by money because not all money is not, is not easily released into the hands of God's people. Yeah. Rarely do you find people who have money and who allow it to be used for the work of God or for God. Amen. So take heed now, careful how you handle me because I've got an owner. Sometimes I'm in the house and I hear my daughter cry. She knows when she cry. Then who is making her cry? Una is there now. Why? Why are they crying? Who is crying? What are you doing? Why? Why wake up and crying? Why crying? Don't like crying? You see, God is listening to that cry. Why? Who is making him cry? I don't like that. Who is making him cry? Your owner is watching over you. I said your owner is. That's why I said take him to the flock of which he purchased with his own blood. The power of the cross enable you to be bought. It was a legal transaction and when you take up your cross it will have the legal powers and financial backing to purchase Polish people, Chileans, Brazilians, Spanish speaking Africans, Asians, power to purchase them from the grips of the devil. When we went to is it Bolivia? Bolivia, where we went to eat by some traffic light. Pastor Richard, you remember there were some children standing. Is it Bolivia, Cochabamba. You see in the night, midnight, you see a child like this little girl, little girl, standing by the traffic light alone. You pass another, you see another child. They're like dogs in the city. I tell you. Foxes. They're like foxes in London. You see little. I'm talking this height, this height, and there's nothing like that I've seen in any part of Africa. One they move in the city, there are foxes. They have no owner, no father, no mother. You don't know what they are doing. They run sometimes 3-4. We were sitting in the restaurant, we're eating. They came to stand there in the window, one money, one of the way we're going. We saw some of the traffic lights. I'm here all over. Hey, all these people are waiting. They say Satan has taken these children. He has taken the parents. He's destroying them. You see when Satan owns, when you are the wicked owner, you see the the the the dog of a wicked owner or the cat of a wicked, You see lean bones. The dog eats only lizards in the house that it can catch. That is all that it can eat. That's God's power through your sacrifice will purchase these ones from the streets, from the hands of Satan. I saw a brother after he said, he said to me, I want to go with Pastor Quico to Brazil. I said go, God will bless you. Go, go keep your life for some better reason, because I'm telling you, you and the person who stays you will all eat, you will all drink, you all sleep somewhere, you all have a house to stay in, you all have a car, and most of you will have nothing to give to your children when you die. That's the truth. True love. It's the lot of 95% of all human beings. Yeah, we brought nothing. And most of us take nothing out of this world. Messi, you may not want to think about what I'm saying, but what I'm saying is the truth. When your father died, did he give anything to you? Was there anything in your mother? Did she have anything for you? Lola. Bills I re has to be paid. Yeah, that's the lot of most people. So why not? OK, if he's going to be eating, drinking, sleeping, staying somewhere, driving a car, moving, why not do all that for a reason? So that at the end of the day, we are all the same. But I use my years and my life for that cross. And one day you stand before him, and you'll see angels move to meet you. You think you are, you know, there's sometimes, sometimes God gives you a picture. You wonder who you are because you've seen it. So you find that you have suddenly become important when you live a life of known importance in this world. And suddenly you find out that you are now so important. For what? For nothing, for just believing. Heaven is for all because it's for those who believe. It's not for those who are wise, clever, good. This is for people who can believe. That's why we can all go to heaven. God so loved the whole world that he gave His only because that whosoever believes should not perish, but have everlasting life. Amen. Stand up on your feet, love for Jesus. To come into ownership you. You own things through your sacrifice. Amen. Through your sacrifice. You even own people through Christ's sacrifice. He owned, He owned. He owned what? He owns us. So through my sacrifice in the ministry, I also own, in a certain sense, I own people. They literally belong to me. Yeah, they virtually belong to me. Yeah. Yeah, they virtually belong to me. Do you understand? And people don't understand the level of ownership and commitment that you exert, do not understand where it's from or what the base. Is it financial? Like when somebody was coming to work for me, they were asking what are they offering you? What are they giving you? How much are they offering you? You know, they can't sort of understand it, but when your owner has called for you out of the bank, you come out, you get it. Have you finished distributing the books? Did you all give me one too? I also like to have one. I'm also blessed. I hope you are all going to give a good offering to the author because you should have given the offering. I shouldn't have linked it to the book, even just offering. It's not it's not linked to the book. It's not linked. OK. The book is just a usual gift, camp gift. OK Normal camp for coming to the camp. Pardon. We we, we. Yeah, your own. When you say, oh, it's like it's almost absolutely under your control. You see, Come, come, go, go. Sing, sing, stop, sing, don't sing. Change it like that. And people hate it. There are people who criticize. Sometimes the people say ah, why you worship him or what? This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
