40. The Powers Of A Cross 4

Welcome to track #40 of the powers of a cross. Have you heard that question before? Really. Forgive mercy. People's minds are some will, it's mysterious. And when you also give your life and you take up your cross, you, you also come into a certain ownership of things that you didn't have before, Amen. That's why if you are even transferred, you see that there's a certain pain like when Prophet Kakra was leaving Kumasi, it was not easy. It's like his living son that belongs to him, you see. And all through the ministry, God will always show you that yes, it belongs to, but it doesn't belongs to, it belongs to me. It's like the check no matter what. That's why the check does not belong to me. There's nothing the check that below. But in a sense, I have a steady kind of ownership. But actually, even legally, I don't own anything in the church. I have written my will. You know, if you own anything, you should write a will. I've already written my will and I change my will from time to time. Yeah, but in my will there is not even, huh, not even one of the church properties and buildings, not even a Pew or even one organ for my son. And I give one organ, church organ, to my son to sell. Or one of the buildings or a chair or the church carpet. Nothing. There's nothing because the church is not mine. So in a sense, it's yours, but it's also not yours. Yeah. There's nothing in the church that is for anybody. Has a gravity, a church building in life, there's nothing. It's not. I have nothing that of the church that belongs to, there's nothing. It's just a church because you came and you are. You are used to build his church and his churches for him. You just move on. That is why even as we do the work, God gives us certain ownership. Gustav, you have a certain ownership in Leeds, isn't it? The people belong to you. You. You say come. You are their pastor. Yes, Because, I mean, you went there, you see? Is it not true, La? Who are the leads people? Can I see you? He owns you in a way, he said come, you come. Go to the right. You go. Yeah. Where's Pasta de MU? John. OK, there's a John. You call him. All right, All right. Good. All right. You sit down. Sit down. OK. What do you think? Yeah. True. LA So prevail and allow God to give you something that in a certain sense is yours. I mean, it's, it's yours to the extent that it can be yours because ultimately it's not yours. It's all for the Lord. He is a real eternal owner of all of us. But when you sacrifice your life, you come into a certain ownership, which is fantastic. That is why the books that are written, they do not belong to me. They have a lot. So I, I, I, it's not something that I can sell. Do you understand? It's something that he brought through me. So I don't see it as something that I can sell. And I always wanted to be like that. That's why I see this even to even receive an office complex thing, a lot of thinking. You see complex thinking, plenty thinking all the time, but it's a blessing. It's a blessing to think so that you will not be too sure of yourself and become a fool. What do you think? Is it a blessing and a message? What about some bacon? It's a sausage with some bacon and a meat pie #46 The power of the cross is the power that gives you access to holy places and the holy people. Having Therefore brethren, He, He gives you access. How many want to have access to holy places and holy people? Amen. Hebrews chapter 10, verse 19. Having therefore brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus. Boldness to enter the holiest How by the blood of Jesus. Access. One of the great privileges that I have experienced in my life is the access that God has given me to holy people. It's it's a very great privilege that I've seen. I've sat with so many great men of God whom I've read about, heard about. He has given me the privilege to sit with them, talk to them. Idahosa. Yeah. The other day I was sitting in Indonesia with Reinard Bonke. I was sitting here and Reinard Bonke was sitting there and we were talking. Yeah. And how did I get there? That I was chatting with him. Huh. What do you think? Yeah, I was sitting with him and talking with him. What do you think? Is it a powerful thing? Yeah, Yeah. As I was flying and I was sitting with Jack Hayford. Jack Hayford was on the plane. If it was there and I was there, yeah, sitting with Yongicho, Benny Hinn. I was talking with Benny Hinn. In fact, I was at a dinner and I was leaving and he sent someone to tell him not to leave. I need to speak to him sometimes. Hey, I said. Sometimes it causes me to wonder. Just to think that I was so bad that you knew all about my past but that didn't make you any difference. You said you could fix all of that. I got so excited till my heart didn't escape me. Feel so good to be understood. Do you know what I mean? Sometimes it crosses 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 would love somebody like me. Just to think that somebody, somebody like you would love somebody like me. No, 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 you love somebody like me. Have to think that somebody somebody like you love somebody like me. I was a perfect example of living a life below black, a life that was broken and charted pieces. And you put together again. When I'm down, when I'm feel insecure, that's when your love is gonna last. You said your love isn't just that devotion. It's just a matter of fact. Hold up. Sometimes it comes to me to travel. Sometimes it comes to me to shed some tears. Sometimes it comes to me to travel when I think that somebody, somebody like you loves somebody like me. Just to think that somebody, somebody like you loves somebody. Like you hold your neighbor sometimes, sometimes. It causes me to travel. I need to shed some tears sometimes. It causes me to tremble when I think that somebody, somebody like me loves somebody like me. Just to think that somebody somebody like me loves somebody like. Me. Hey singer for the lifestyle. Come on. An elephant has proposed to a frog. An elephant has proposed to a frog that I want to marry you. It causes me to tumble. An elephant has been down and say I love you baby. Will you marry me, baby Froggy, do you like me? Am I too big for you? Now the blood, through the blood you have access to the holy place. Where is it boldness to enter into the holiest through? Through what? A blood of the cross. Everybody say the blood of the cross. Amen. A cross once again has allowed somebody like you to come to a place where there are holy people, holy things, hey, somebody like you love somebody like me. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder, said the elephant as he stood to kiss the pig. When the elephant was tooping to kiss the pig, they were wondering why he said no beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I know what I've seen in the pig who has just come from the gatta. God knows what he has seen in you, I said. God knows what he has seen in you beauty eyes, in the lies, in the eyes of the beholder, said the elephant as he stooped to kiss the pigs. I have seen that it's beautiful. I know why I want to marry or why he stooped to kiss the frog so small. How will you give birth to elephant with this frog? You pick the frog with your nose. That and you put it on your hand. Oh, OK, OK, OK. 47 The power of the cross is the power to bring about resurrection. Romans chapter 6. That's fine, for if we have become united with him in the likeness of his death, we have been united in the likeness of his death. Certainly, certainly, certainly that means if you have experienced death with Christ, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection if we have been unite Romans 65, if we have been united with God, with Christ in the death side. So if unite with Christ in the cross, you unite with him in the coming out, OK. And that is the reality that anyone who participates in the cross participates in a new life resurrection. So once we have participated in the blood of Jesus, we expect to participate in the resurrection from the dead, now your cross. When you participate in the dying, in the losing of your life, expect to participate in the coming of a new life different from what you ever had, better than what you ever had, nicer and what you ever had. The cross is the way to a new life. Yes, You see, I have a certain feeling right now in my spirit for the people that are going to give themselves to this mission to Europe, Eastern Europe, Western Europe, South America and all these other Caribbean. God is going to give you a new life because you are participating in the dying. Expect only we say certainly, expect something new. New life. Expect to be part of a new world. I'm telling you, expect it, expect it, expect it. I feel it in my heart. Your whole life will be passed. I've lived in London before. Today, living in London, it's a completely different experience for me. Yeah, I've been here, I've been in there. I once had a friend, they told me that I've got a job at, I think it was McDonald's. I have some tube station somewhere far, far away and he said I can give you free hamburger. I said, because I could not even believe the blessing and the greatness of having two hamburgers. I said, is it true? He said yes, If you come, all I do is I just take it and I give it to you. Just yeah, there are plenty there, beggars. So when I'm giving you your pack, I just add some to it. I said I can. I'll give you his name. Begins with an A, my friend. I took the tube. I'm telling you my life, my life story. I took the tube and I went there because of this hamburger. I, I travelled when I came and I, I came to the prison. I saw him in there and I saw I, I stood behind the people where I stood. I said, and he also should I come, say come. I joined the queue when I gave the he gave me and he gave me extra and I went back with joy. I've received a great thing hamburger. For which I would travel with you to go and get it. I've been there. I tell you as I've been there in the lowest part of this kind of life in this type of place, the lowest, the lowest. I think if I can get an extra I've been there that do not keep up back in it with them and add some more meat to this thing that. I've been there. Hey, I mean, I've been in there before. I've been there, I said. I've been in there. I've been in there in the darkness, in the poverty, in the lack, in the desire of things which are beyond your reach because of the kind of life. But I've seen some other life I hated. I'll tell you, I hated London when I left. I hated this place. I will not lie to you. Yeah, but as the Lord gave me my cross and in my cross was a package that I will never travel again. I'll never have a house, I'll never go abroad again and I received it and the laws OK, now go abroad this time in a different. You see that as I participated in that dime, he says certainly you participate in another raising of your life to another level. Oh yeah. So then when I see the McDonald's, I look at him. I say, you. Many years ago, I would travel to participate in an extra hamburger, go one hour, 1 1/2 hours standing away. I'm here. I've been there. When somebody told me I have a job at McDonald's in Stratford, I said you are pleased. So I said do you eat? We eat. I said bless you. I can't even imagine it. It's all for me. Hey, I've been there. When I received £10 and I started jumping on Finchley Rd. My salvation has 10 lbs. One zero in an in a letter. Yeah, I've been there. You don't know. Yeah. And you see, when I took up the cross finish with travelling finish, never stay in house. Never have this. OK, I said different life. I travel in a different way. Yeah. Are you there? So when you participate in a dying expect, because the word used as certainly, certainly expect the resurrection and expect even in this life like like like Paul said, nevertheless I am, I am alive, he said. I am crucified. I died, but the mystery is that the one who is dead is nevertheless alive. And the life I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of God. Today, if I say I want hamburger from all of you, give me just one hamburger. How many will go and get me just a hamburger? Hamburger. Yes, specially wrapped hamburger. Now pile them up. Hey, I'll get so many hamburgers. I've been there, I said. I've been in there. I've been there. Sometimes when I say some of you feel sorry for me of those days, it feels, huh? Yeah, it's like suffering. But still I'm saying that you see, God can do for you what you cannot do for yourself. You're hustling, you're trying, but at the end of the 95% of you eat, what are the five things you do? You eat, drink, wear clothes, live in the house, drive a car and then you die and 95% will not have anything to give to those that come after you. Many mortgages will be re returned with your life savy and the morgue in the house and all, and you'll be just like the person who has just come and your name will be added to a list of people who must not be, must not lend money to them. I'm not kissing you, I'm just telling you something. You see, one of the things is that if you read the Bible, the prophets of God, they were not just prophesying. It is good, it is good quite read Jeremiah and all these things. They were telling the word of the Lord and the truth. Many people don't like truth through life. How many want to participate in resurrection of your dead life? Your depression is going to go this type of depressed life, always crying, always crying, always crying. Your life is going to change to happiness, happiness, joy. Are you not happy at the camp? You don't even want to go home. When you go home, some things are waiting there. Oh, let us. God is going to give you a new type of life. The life I now live. The life I now live, I live by the faith of the Son of allow the Shepherd of your soul to lead you. I said this is an another all out camp. Allow the Shepherd of your soul to lead you to a good play. Wherever you will lead I will go. Amen. Shepherd of my soul, I give you full control. Wherever you may lead, I will fall alone. I have made a choice to listen for your voice. Wherever you may lead, I will world. It's in a quiet past. My gentle stream, the shepherd of my soul is by my sight. Should I face the mighty mountain or a valley dark indeed, The shepherd of my soul will be my God. Share that of my soul. I give you full control. Wherever you may lead, I will fall alone. I have made a choice to listen. Boy, oh boy, wherever you may lead, I will go. Oh, in a quiet pasture, by a gentle stream, the shepherd of my soul saw my sight. Should I face a mighty lighting, or by the dark indeed the shepherd of my soul? Save your life and shepherd, leave us washed in in thy blessing pasture feet. The world I you start lovingly. Listen, Jesus. Listen Jesus. Thou household us, I need our heart. Listen, Jesus. Listen Jesus. As what does thy knee thy thy thy deep? See us when we go straight, as in Jesus, as in Jesus. Hear thy children when they pray, as in Jesus yes, and Jesus, be my children when they pray, O blessed Jesus, yes, and Jesus thou hast for us not be on the less than Jesus. Thou has bought us thine. We are any man. The power of the cross is the number 48, the power to disable and to disarm evil spirits and demons that seek to destroy you. Through the cross you disarm evil spirits that seek to destroy you. Amen. Ha shaplaka rasapata, the spirit of dispersion has come upon you. You shall be dispersed into the world to bring forth fruit. Much fruit shall come from your departure. Much fruit come shall come from your journeys, much food shall come from your activities, which you shall undertake on behalf of the name of Jesus and on behalf of the cross of Christ. For your journeys into the world shall bring forth a new life. They shall bring forth a new way of doing things. They shall bring forth a peace that passes understanding, a joy that cannot be found in earthly things, a joy and satisfaction and peace that comes only from the cross and only from day that bear the cross of Christ for His namesake. Father, thank you for your blessing. Amen. Colossians chapter 2, verse 14. It says Blotting out the handwriting. 214 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances. That was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross, and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them, openly triumphing over them in it. Notice He took the ordinances. That was the list of your sins. Nailed it to the cross. And then having spoiled you see this act spoiled powers and principalities and and made us triumph over them. Having spoiled principalities and powers. Are you are you reading it clearly? Yes, yes. What a beautiful verse, nailing it to his cross semi colon and having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a show of them, openly triumphing over them in it. Amen. You triumph over the devil in your life and the demons in your life when you take up the cross. When Jesus came to the cross, he destroyed demons, demonic powers, and he made an open show of the destruction of devils. Now a type of demons was Pharaoh. Satan is a type of Pharaoh. He wants you to work for him. He wants you to build his imaginary buildings, the places where he will keep his dead, his pyramids, and he wants you to develop them nicely so that you'll be a very good pyramid construction engineer. He doesn't want you to leave any of the sand castles you are developing. When you are asked to leave, he will say no. He will give reason. He said don't be extreme. Don't go too far. Leave your children, go back, leave your business. Don't involve your business and your livelihood in this idea. Leave your money. Don't go too far. That is the message of Satan Pharaoh. Now when you finally manage to get a breakthrough, he will send after you hordes of his soldiers, which are demons, to chase you all the way. Now, as you go along on your journey, serving God and following Him, you will come to a Red Sea, which is water, and that water is a sea of death where you are supposed to die, and you are supposed to go in and die there, OK? Meanwhile, the demons are coming behind you to destroy you. Sicknesses, diseases, cancers, troubles, robberies, thefts, losses, poverty, cases, they're coming. They're chasing you. So when you get to the river, the place of death, you either go through or you stay behind. So suddenly God makes it possible for you to go through what would have normally killed you because they stopped there, because they couldn't go further, because what, they couldn't go with the abused children and they couldn't walk through. They had no boats, so it was going to be definitely death. So when you get to that point, God somehow makes an opening somewhere and he says go through, go through, go through. This is your greatest chance to escape from the demons that Pharaoh has sent to chase you and to finish you off. So you must go through, go through the water, go through that miraculous window that has appeared in the river, that has appeared in the sea. Enter, my friend, go to escape, pass to go out. What is it that is making a way for you to enter, go through, and when you go through, that will be the end of the demons. And as they went through the House of demons, spirits and evils and things that were to kill you and to destroy you, they also try to go through, but they cannot go through, and they all perish in the water. And that was the end of all those things. So when you are following God and it brings you to a place of death, a place of time, a place of risk, a place of risk, what a risk. If this water comes down, we have not seen it before. Who has seen something like this before? Many times God will take you to a thing that you have never seen before. It's not only things you have seen before that you will do that are things that you haven't seen before. They are the will of God for your life. When you see a crack, when you see the water is going, it's I can see some sun. I think this may be it. Brothers and sisters, come on, let's go through and it go through. That's your chance, brother. Take your chance. Now what do you have to lose? Pass through. When you go through this is where Satan cannot follow you to the cross. You leave behind so many things that would have finished you off if you had stayed behind. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. So Bible says that he nailed those things that were against us to the cross and he spoiled principalities powers and made an open show. Pharaoh was defeated openly. The demons were defeated openly. The Chariots were floating on top of the water openly. I had somebody gave me a film of that chariot. This new animated thing they've done of Moses, beautiful. They died publicly. They died openly. God will show openly that He has separated His servants from cases and that He has saved His child and His servants from the Chariots of the devil and of demons openly. Masuka FA anama sode fadalama Pete fanalama chandola Baba, don't hesitate when you come to the water, don't discuss that. We have not seen it before because you see, the water is going to come back. Doors are called doors because they swing open and close. That's why every shop has closed and open, open and close, open and close. Door is for closing and also for opening. The kitchen is as important as a toilet. Subtraction is as important as addition. There is close, there is open, there is a today is working. Tomorrow is not working. The same thing that worked yesterday. It will not work today when there's a window and you see, oh Lord, this is it. Rise my dear sister, rise my dear friend, start running. Via His grace, via His mercy, you will make it through to the other side. You shall not die in it. The devil will be telling you die in it. And you see, all you need is analysis. That's why I say that people who don't think deeply cannot work in full time ministry. When you think deeply, you realize that when we stay here, they are going to catch us. When they catch us, they may not kill us here, but they will kill us. They will kill a lot of us on the way for trying to live. They will leave our our children, our women. They will rape them, they will whip them, they will beat them. And when they when they take some of us back, they will torture us more. They will imprison us. It's going to be well. So when you analyze it, you realize that look, actually you have nothing to lose by going through this water. That's why I say that. That's why what I keep on telling you that 95% of you, you will eat, you will drink, you will buy clothes. I have clothes. I, I still have clothes since I came into ministry, I have clothes still. I have clothes. I have shoes. Where is where are they? I have shoes by the grace of God. It was so difficult for me to buy shoes years ago. In my old life it was difficult. I was in London, I had no money and I desperately needed shoes for some months. I needed but I could not because if I did, it could not work. That is when I had to go for a repairer repair shoes. So keep it going like this, go down. I keep going. Repair the shoes. I've been there. I tell you I walk like this, walk like this because when I leave this, it goes open. I walk like this every day. Every day. Yeah, I've been there and God, 'cause he said come, you know, think about it carefully. Says, look, when I don't go through, I don't have shoes. When I go through the West is that I can lose the shoes, but when I'm leaving stinker, there's no shoe I prefer to go through. And I prophecy to you the things you used to see. You will not see those particular things. You know, I still have problems and I still have challenges. Oh, I have a lot of demons working against my life. It's a different kind of demon. It's a demon defending their territory. You see Pharaoh, when they left Pharaoh and they crossed, they met the Amalekites and the Amalekites used to follow the Israelites from behind and catch the weak ones. Those were the far at the back. That's why when Saul came, God told him kill all of them because of what they did to Israel when he was coming out. You will see another trouble and another enemy, but not that type. Yeah, it's not like you have no problem. You will, but it will be a different kind of problem. I do still have problems and I do still have needs by it's an Amalek or Jericho who are defending themselves against our forward movement. But it's not about because I don't know how much a hamburger is today. I have a different kind of problem and because of I can call for hamburgers and bring me bring, I have problems. Not that problem, not shoe. Shoe is not my problem at all by his grace, but I've been there. We talk about shoe repairing. It was a major discussion and I had to when I was down and we climbed the stage when I get there and I just do this and I just slide it backwards so I just, you'll never see it. I had a quick way of going the steps and I go to the drums and I play or I go to the piano. I had a little small grand piano. This message continues on the next track. Keep listening.
