Praise the Lord. Also, once again it's my privilege to be here this morning to bring us the word of the Lord. I appreciate our Daddy in the house God Savant, the chaplain Reverend insa ee Ao, thank you for Jave your great grandson, Raise the Lord. Also appreciate the assistant Chaplain, Reverend Steve Obna, such a great honor. And of course the Chairman of Council and all the elders, thank you for encouraging our generation. We take after you in post of the Lord to for fear His will in our day and time. This morning, again want to look at the scriptures to understand what the emphasis of God is for us in this present time. Just in case you expectant and you lift up your hands toward Heaven and say something to the Lord, do I expect And this morning Bible said the expectation of the rights shall not be caught shot. That means the provisions of God flows in the direction of your expectations. A man without expectation is a man that we have lid to on nothing from God. This is why we come hungry. The prophet said to the widow God vessels the God are not a few their just in case she took him for granted. The Bible said, when the vessels were filled the oil and the crew stopped flowing. This morning, I welcome you to enlarge your heart to receive from God. Thank your Father. We give you praise, we give you glory. We asked that you minister to us again by your spirit, that your world will come alive and it will become the empowerment that we have to confront the darkness of our generation in order to bring the light of your countenance. Even in the name of Jesus Christ, we have prayed. In Jesus' name, we have prayed challenges of my spirit. Open I am with the Father. O no boundaries, no limits, O open. Up led deep, call on too deep, Open. Up channels of my spirit. Oh, open up, I am with the Father. Oh open up, no boundaries, no limits. O open up, lad deep, call on too deep? Open up? Iman lad oo. Cuckoo parada. Imona do. Loo cu coo parada. Imolad oo cuckoo bord. Emore. Oh, where's darkness at the side of the light? It ever porrated other claims of light? You know certain songs are not just songs. We are declarations of worship in recognition of the Etana Council an excellency of God. So when we sing these songs, they become expression of the life of God, from our spirit to the very height of Zion. Some men register their presence in heaven. You can be on edge, but you don't appear in the redar of heaven. There are strategic and well defined means of making contact with Zion. Emma ladle. Oh cu cooparada imo. Oh cu coo parada. Emi lader oh cu coo para. Ima lado oho ba. Thank you, Holy Spirit. In Jesus precious name, you may be seated. I don't know how the youths came about the team of the Conference mhm, but the team of the Conference is a sign that the youth of the church are aligned and they have understanding of the present revelation position of the Spirit of God. There are many things that can be emphasized for time, but what defines accuracy in our emphasis is now our ability to discern what God is doing in a season. Every emphasis in themselves are not wrong, but what we count and strike a chord that is eitana in schools, in our understanding of the present revelation position of the spirit. So the Bible said, the sons of Isaaka, there were men that understood the times and the seasons and knew what Israel ought to do. So knowing what Israel ought to do was a function of discernment. There were the Levites that were the priests that read and recited the Torah for the people of God. But knowing what Israel art to do was a function of discernment. So we saw that generation came and generations went. On. The prophecies were given from heaven, but in the ceasings of manifestation, the body could not discern. Jesus showed up into the world. The Pharisees as cribs. The Sadducees, who were custodians of revelation, could not discern that this season was the season of the appearing of the Besire. So they kept on with politics, they kept on with religious activities. They could not discern. Even when Jesus was brought to the temple, they could not recognize him. Only few in that generation had discern meant to know that the prophecy that lasted for seven hundred years, this was the time of it. For few men. Their lifestyle was different. The Bible spoke of Anna, the prophetess that gave herself to prayer and fasting until she was eighty four years old. Why she was so committed to prayer and fasting was simply because she discerned that no body in that generation will be relevant until they played the part in the coming of the Messiah. And her own responsibility was prayer and faster. And when Jesus came, she was in the temple because she had a part. Simeon, the prophet, gave himself to prayer, and he was in the synagogue all his life. When Jesus showed up as a baby, the Bible said he was praying, but he was laid into the temple by the spirit. The Holy Goos himself came and dragged him. Say no, the hour has come. The reason for this kind of lifestyle and disposition you are choosing is because you discerned that the Messiah is coming now. The messiahs He had come up and he was dragged. He came of all the children that had been dedicated his Soldjesus he knew, He said, this is the salvation of Israel. Charn discern this season was the coming of the Messiah. So even though his father was a priest, they didn't follow the order of the priesthood. The Bible said in Luke one eighty he was in the wilderness until the day of his showing forth onto Israel, because his own responsibility in that generation was to be the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. It was not because then in the wilderness is a doctrine. But he found this place, so it authored its priorities, It authored this lifestyle, It autered this disposition by all means for him to be able to fulfill the counsel of God, which was writing as a cold on the tablet of his heart before the foundation of the world, was his kind of alignment on the etereal. And only in the wilderness was that quality of alignment achievable. So he went to the wilderness. When he came out, he was a voice. They say, who are you. He didn't say, I am John, the son of Zacharias, he said, I am the voice of the one crying in the wilderness. They knew what the season was about. And here again we are in the transition seas, where God wants to raise men that will bear the burden of the kingdom, that will receive a pass of authority to advance the frontiers of his kingdom. Many places today emphasisis about what they can get from God. They have no discigned. But this is a generation of people that know that God is looking for a people that will be a witness for his name. So we came up with a team leaving epistress. You can be many things at this time, but discernment will make you know that the only way you can be relevant in Zion is to be a living epistol. Some of us are students, some of us are businessmen. Some of us are footballers like you saw then came in. But we will not be relevant as footballers, will not be relevant as students, will not be relevant as businessmen. Aunt till we be living epistols, because there is a move of God that is coming to the borders of our habitation. You may become big on earth, but very tiny in heaven. That's the greatest risk of life. Not on earth men clap for you, but the angels don't know you, but men of discernment. Their lifestyle is governed by the signals that flow from the command tower of ever and on the strength of that signal, everything that happened to them in time comes on nothing. So the Bible will say poor and Bannabas he said, these speed the men that has saddered their lives for the Gospel. They discerned the seasons they lived in, and in heaven they became mighty men. So God began to reveal to us what it meant to be a living epistle. It is impossible for his spirit to be seen on earth. The only way you can see and identify is spirit on earth is when a mortar vessel. And what is the reality of that spirit? So in living a is not a preacher of the Word of God, and living a piece is not a recite of the Bible, and living a PEACEU is a man that is able to embody the totality of the essence of God and communicate the same to his generation. He may communicate it through wars, he may communicate it through his lifestyle, but by all means he must become a custodian of the life of God. How do we know and identified demons is through the character of the people that are possessed by those demons. So you see a man who is littered with all kinds of uncleaners. You know that this is an unclean spirit. No body except by discernment of spirit I have ever seen a demon. But all of us know demons by looking at the people that possess demons. So it says somebody possessed by the spirit of immorality. Her dress. We speak it louder. She doesn't need to say I carry the spirit of immorality. How war was communicated. The song she sings, we communicated why she has become an embodiment of that filit Why you see a mad man You don't need to find out. You know, this is what I don't clings with. It looks like because that mad man is an embodiment of that failit. So God designs in such a way that even though his dimensions are locked up in heaven, every time they look upon you an eye, they should not say this is Victor when they see you. That you see Jesus. That's a living episode. So you can walk into the lecture hall. People will not see a lecturer. They will see Jesus. You are teaching biochemistry, but true biochemistry Jesus is communicated because you have become a living episode businessman in the market. When they contact you, they contact Jesus. You have become a living episode. This is the only way our world can be colonized. There is the number of churches are growing, the number of prophets, the number of our purstles are growing, but they tear it to is not affected. Is because we are religious people. We come to church and act like God. But when we go out there, our true reality is representative of different spirits. We become people that pursue money, pursue pleasure, pursue all kinds of things. And that is what our territory has as a testimony of the kinds of people that are in the generation. There are no living epistles anymore. So this morning we began to look at what it takes to be a living epistle. We said, the first thing it takes is to interact with the Word of God, because according to the nature of the world of God, the Bible said that Word that was made flesh is the life, and that life is the light, the lighted every man that comes into the world. So even though we were born and sein into a corrupt world, when we begin to interact with the Word of God, the Bible says the Word of God will become life on our inside, and the moment the word of God becomes life on our inside, it reflects through us as light. When that is achieved, I'm trying to do a quickly car before I hit the next one, because it's a second service. When that is achieved, I said, there are three things that is implicative of that reality. The first is that we become witnesses. There can be no witness on it unless we have, first of all, become living episos. This is why we preach the gospel so loud. Yet the impact is not on ground, because we are not what we preach. The Bible said concerning Jesus, while Luke was writ into Theophilus in Look chapter one, verst. Two, he said, of all that Jesus' book began to do and to teach, so he had no authority to teach except as he had become. So he took him thirty years to become and three and a half years to teach. John Chapter nineteen, verse twenty two, he said, fort their sex, I sanctify myself so that they two might be sanctified. So if Jesus spoke to you even if it's not talking sertification, you'll be purged. So he said, the wars I have spoken to you, have watched you. Why because he has first of all become the reality of santification. When we become living a princes. The first dimension of God that breaks out of us is that we become witnesses on earth. A witness is the proof that God exists. There's no war. There's no way the war we believe that God exists unless you have become that proof that God exists. And the world is not only interested in knowing what you have to say. They are looking at you to see what you express and say lifestyle. So the reason it looks as if the war doesn't believe in God is because there are no sufficient witnesses. Every time the devil shows up, the devil is making a statement that God doesn't exist. So all of our interaction is to prove to the world that the devil is a liar. Because when you see sickness, the devil is saying God does not exist. Why because God said everyone that believes is healed. So you now see a believer who is sick. The devil is saying God is a liar. But When a witness shows up, he enforces what God has spoken. So if you see him that was sick become well, then it's a proof that the God that said they believer is you is real. The devil comes to make it looks as if it's impossible to live right trustly because this world belongs to him. Then you look upon the man and you check him there is no sin. That man is making a statement that God is real. Every time the devil comes to force you into sin, is trying to get you concur with him, receive your agreement that God is not real. So every time you commit that scene, you are in agreement with the devil that God is not real. But our rebellion against the devil is a statement in the spirit that we are telling the world that our God is real. The world do not believe when you tell them he is really unless you are able to demonstrate that which is consistent, which is reality. A witness we may be on earth. We think this is a religious activity. When the heavens are open, then you understand that what we are talking about is the politics that takes place in the heights of the heavens. The Bible spoke about job in Job chapter one, verse one, to threat, he said, there's a man of us in the religions of the east. He said, he feared God and is too evil. He feared God and is tood evil. And in heaven the devil came to God, let's prove what you are saying if it's true. And in these six he said, if he strike Job and takes everything he has, he will not believe in you, because Job is not really a witness. And God, they go ahead, and the devil went took everything Job had, and Job's too. The devil came Job two, verse one. He says, skin for skin, a man will give everything for his skin. God say, go strike's born and in flesh and his flesh, but don't kill him. The devil went stroucking Judge tis tooth. So Job made a statement in immortality that life is not a function of possession. Life is not a function of self, that life in itself is giving expression to the life of God. The will of the Father living now through a mortal entity is the proof that is alive, and that kind of life becomes a witness. His life was a proof that God is real. And those kinds of men we say God himself make a boast of them. God does improg with you because you are you are an accountant. It doesn't improve with you because you are a doctor. He only brags with you because you are a witness. So when he sent his son into the world, he could send him as a lawyer, he could send him as a doctor, but he sent him as a witness, because that's the only kind of life that resonates in sion. But unfortunately most of us don't understand the implication. So we need for ourselves, and the Bible say him that lived in pleasure is dead even while he work it. Britain oxedging for ninety years. But you were dead from heaven from the day you were born, because you never appeared in the reader of heaven. And when we looked at the life of the patriarchs of that God wrote about them, we discovered that there was nothing written about their lives until they became witnesses. Marcies was im easy. For forty years nothing was written about him. They did Moses became a witness, the angels that were the scribes of his destiny began to write. No lived for more than one hundred and twenty years. Nothing written about him, until when he said God spake and in move with fear, these cribs began to write. So a man who has not become a witness, there is no document about him in Zion. So you want to be relevant eternally. The first point of reference is to become an agent that brings God to the sin. It's easy to live in sin. It takes the life of God to live a righteous life. It's easy to fight, it's easy to gossip, it's easy to keep moneys, it's easy to steal, it's easy to fornicate. But it takes the life of God to do other wise. So whenever men see you doing other wise, they will say this perssing is not normal. This one is a God among men, because this lifetime only gods lived that way. So when they saw the believers in Antioch, they said, this one's a little Christ. But today we enter our territories. I went for visit Tavian. I saw more than three clergymen. They were on there, the word, there, the castle and everything was there to create depression that they were they were men of God. But in the days of the fathers, when they spoke to you, God, we entire your spirit. They didn't need to wear any garment. Peter came out and when he spoke, he said, three thousand people were pricked in their hair. They say, men and breath, When what shall we do to be saved. They want people to look at the ethnic garment. But the witnesses is sufficient. I heard the story about ring Hard Bunky. He went to South Africa to buy something and he stood at the shop. Finally was talking to the man selling. The man began to cry, and he asked God, why is he crying? And God told him he saw me in your eyes. He was not talking, he was emitting God as an energy. This kind of man God is jealous for them, is jealous. He is jealous. God. We fight their battles because so long as God will be known on it, if God will ever be known on it, is because those kinds of men are still walking on the earth. God looked at the earth at one point and it was as if there was no witness and it said in Genesis chapter six, from verse five, he said, it's repented God that he made the heath. And God said, we wipe out the whole earth, including man, beast, and everything that is on the earth. Because they aith itself. It's not valuable. The earth is not relevant. They eth is not needed, except that they are witnesses. But when he looked again, saw one man, and he said, God found favor grace with Noah. Noah found grace with God. And because of one witness, the whole earth was preserved. And God will not destroy the earth because of one man a witness. You want to be relevant with God and gain e Turner ranking and stature. Where it begins from is to stand for him. The world is in darkness. We need light to shine. And then we saw that what God is also doing in us is to build us up as his house. So Paul said in First Corinthians thirty nine, said that we are God's building. And I say, you look at that scripture and you take it for granted, and you think it's a theological piece. And see when the realm of eternity is open, that is when you discovered that the house. Paul said, he meant it, because when the New Jerusalem appeared, the Bible revealed to us that everybody that lived as a witness of it is a block in that building. So he said, the name of the twelve apostles of the Lamb in Revelationsatter twenty one ver. Fourteen was in the foundation of the New Jerusalem. So their life, every I think God was doing with them was part of that structure that God was raising. And I told us this is where sometimes it becomes a bit difficult, when God tries to shape and chiast only man so that they can fit into the building. And that's where it becomes difficult. That's where God shows up and tells you, because He has checked your heart, there is lost for money. So after you got that the money for one year, he say, carry the money, go and put it in the offering basket. Don't even tell the past off it shouldn't be aware. Then you now discover that what you say the love of God, that your quote is on your lips, is not in your heart. Meanwhile, it's not because God wants you to favor the church. God is building you as his tone. That you were using his house. Lost that is in your heart for money. We not allow you fitting because that lost. We always make you oblong you will not have a place in that house. And the only way God can break that loss is to destroy that with your flesh and causele. So it tells you take the money you we want that for three weeks, why you may drop that one Another one comes lost and say drop it. I got up as a young man because I read the Bible and I go speakingly. I stood up. I said, which we will shake this word. I was in one spot for thirteen years. For thirteen years, who were pretty in mycody. You have all the publicity on Facebook. When you upload it, you see three likes. So I now realize that in this kingdom, social media doesn't make men. Only God makes a man. I know a lot of my friends now because they saw see us traveling everywhere. Even if they cough or they got that three people, they put it on Facebook. They think it's Facebook that make men. You will be buried at the backside of the witness, Auntie. God shapes you because what God is doing his put in the house in SiO. And when God really is a man, even if he talks for five minutes, somebody will hear it in Afghanistan and repent because he has become an echo of SiO. So Peter said, we are lively toes, we are lively stones. God is chesling our soul because the infrastructure his beauty. Some of us will be Pilus, some of us will be the foundations. Some of us will be the edge of the war. But the garbage of the four cannot allow us fitting. So God, we come to Jesu loos. Every man that God ever used and had the turner relevel, God trimmed him. In the witness. John was to be a voice. It was possible for him to sit in his father's out and go out and said, the Messiah is coming. He was carried to the witness when he came up from the widderness. He had no value for anything anymore. His life was perpetually and errand from the Father. Every where he went. He kept crying. He kept crying, You can't You can't please that kind of man with money and position anymore. Because when God shaped him, the only thing that echoes on the tablet of his soul is what God's fo concerning him before the foundations of the world. This is where competition dies in the church. I'm not hustling to be on the microphone. When I checked with God that time was dreamed, I discover my place was to be an intercessor, so I may comfort the service when people are coming up with suit and shining. I am at the back in the room, praying somewhere that the hand of God will come. If I see the hand of God, I'm satisfied. You may never know the intercessor and he may never climb the pulpit all his life in the church, but he knows his place because he has been chiswood. Even why are you giving the microphone? He will tell you, no, no, no, no, I don't thank you. What somebody is who is full of flesh is struggling. He thinks is in the choir. You have not told her to lead song for three weeks, so the next days will not greet you because he thinks. He says, it's about a show. But a man who has been tried, he only does what the fact that wants to do, and every time he's in the hand of God is about to ask. That's the kind of man that can come up and sing a song for five minutes and somebody falls down, crying and repenting. The person didn't know what he or she had, but life was communicated. Because that person is a life. His tone, God can shoot him as a weapon of war. He can entire territory. And then he just in his house praying, and then one person joins. If two people join him, fifty people join him. On a move of God begins. Because the one who is talking every time he lifts his voice is an echo in Zion. He's a lively stone. God can depend on that one because he has been tried, he said Intili chapter seventy invest and he says, ay the Lord, I tried the hard and I test the leams to give to every man as his way. He should be. The preacher who is making wave is not making wave because he's an auditor. He s a tried stone. I lay Zion a precious tone him that believe will not make histe. He can stay until God choose to launch him. And when he's launch he's a witness. And I said tadly, when we become witnesses and lively doors, then God invests authority in our lives. One of the most precious commodities we have in time is authority. This is why the people who in darkness they fight, they kill, they sacrifice to gain authority, because they know without authority no purpose can ever be fulfilled. You can have the best interest to change Calaba. If you don't have authority, it will never happen. It will die with you. This is why the people in darkness they are asparts of these things. Men can kill their children to have authority because they know nothing happens in time unless it is packed with authority. But believe us, we never yield themselves to God so that authority can be invested in their lives. We come around with gifts and charisma, so we are superficial. When we talk, it doesn't echo. In the military, the demons can hear, the principalities can hear. We got that together. We are praying and shouting. Let the lad turns. They don't hear. There's no authority. But authority is only invested when we become livelyss thores. God knows how to chease the man. Yours may be pride God with with it. On the crashes, Jacob was the only Coustodian of the Abrahamic Blessing as the son of Abraham that Isaac released the blessing support everything God promised Abraham was resting on Jacob's head, but it will never come to pass until he was broken and he rested with the in Jay all night. When the Aji could not handle the matter anymore, he touches Type one and broken. And when he was broken, he said, as a prince now has power with God and with men, and has prevailed. That was when Jacob rose up and became a constodian of authority. At that time, Jacob doesn't need to struggle for the dynasty of Abraham to encapt to cover the earth anymore. He will show up and say, God around the you, sons of Israel, and I will tell you the things that will happen to you. That's a man of authority talking. If he says you are blessed, it doesn't matter. You can go to a land where there's no food or water, you will prosper. They know how to dominate the earth. They know how to rule over the earth. They know is by the wisdom of authority. So Abraham we bless Isaac with the name of Elpshadai. Isaac was in Gera. Everybody was running to Egypt to survive, and God says Tastyar in Gherra. And the Bible said that same year he soled and he reaped a hundred food harvest. How do you reap a hundred food havest in the dry ground. Authority backs you up. We are people without authority because we live for ourselves. When we are not witnesses, God will be lost from our world. When we are not witnesses, God will be lost from our families. When we are not witnesses, God to be lost from our lives. This is why the devil have authority to play many families, not because he's strong. There are no witnesses when you rise up. The tyranny of darkness ends. When there are no witnesses, the people of this world will not find God and they will be justified. This is why you have many eightees everywhere, not because God is not Really there are no witnesses they look for God could do find him. They only made liars men that told them about God with so much vipocity. But when time came to demonstrate God, God was not found. When there are no lively stones, then there will be no relevance in Zio. So what makes you an eye relevant in Zio. It's not because we accepted Jesus. What makes us relevant in Zio is the degree to which we are pliable with the hands of God. He jesues us, and he gives us our place. Tuu was one of the twelfth, but he could not be chistwood. So even though Jesus told them that we sit on twelfth throns to join the twelfth tribes of Israel, Juda lost his seat because only a man can be chistwood by God. He doesn't have a place in eternity. And when there is no authority, the purpose of God cannot be fulfilled in time. This is not a breed to make us more, to make us poor, to make us weak and vulnerable. This is just a way of showing us how God honors and lank men. The Bible spoke of many mighty men in scriptures, but in hebrews aftire level from Vesse thirty three down to thirty seven, he began to speak of from settain people and when he went down, he said some of them were sown asund He said, this kind of men the world is not worthy of their navy. It's when you get to heaven that you will know the men that are truly mighty on the head. You will think men are mighty on the head because they speak to ten thousand. When you go to heaven, you will see the men that are truly mighty. Some of them their names were not mentioned on it. It's insiere. You will see them furtly this morning. I want to add one more because I want us to pray at least for ten minutes. Time is a body. When we become witnesses and lively stes in the hand of God, then God is at liberty to place the blessings upon us. When men truly prosper, it's when their prosperity comes from God. And there are many indicators that a man is blessed. When we look up at the life of the men that God tried, we saw the nature of blessings that God gave them. The first kind of blessing God gives them is that they become ruless among men. And kings come from the allowance. He said to Abraham in Genesis chapter seventeen, verse six and verse sixteen. He said, kings will come out of D. That's not a man trying to be mighty. It is from Him that mighty men are born. And now we make of D exceeding fruitful. And now we make nations of D, and kings shall come out of D. You want to end insignificance in your lineage. The path to follow is not to run after a politician. I tell you you will waste your destiny. There are many young people here you want to end in significance in your lineage. The path to follow is the part of dealing where God makes a man. Because when you're making processes complete, you become a progenito of kings and rulers. This is what makes insignificant men become mighty if you trust back the history of men shaking this world today, some of them thirty years ago there were nobodies. But it is God that exhorts men. He makes one to rise and he brings another down. What is what compels God to make a man? It is the path way of making, the process that God carries you through. When your soul is Jesue, God can trust you, and then he can invest his power in your life. In verse sixteen, he said, even your wife, Sarah is ay, kings will come out of her. When a man follows God and allows God to chesue him and to make him that man now so have authority over rulers in this world. See why men fraternize with spirits. There are certain men that are never and will never be governors of the state. But untie, they say this is the governor, he can never be governor. They are king makers. They sit in their house and they determine what happens in the state. You may pass by a thing there, ordinary people. You don't know where they are standing in the spirit for them. Some of them are in league with principalities and powers. Some of them are in league with the rulers of douktness. So you may not see anything about them, but they follow the law of that spirit. Some of them for fifteen years, every night between one am to four am, they sleep in the coffee because that's the law that spirit give them. And if they obey that law, they cannot be a governor in your state unless they say, this will be the governor. The same way we can become king makers. But the possibility we only lie if we come under the government of God, if we become lively stores. A point comes when God can make us to determine the things that happen in our territory. A kind of authority that you have never experienced will be conferred upon your life, and you will mother, you will mother. I know these things by experience. When I speak about a weakness. I know it by experience. Committed myself to pray for the city of Macadi for eight months, and I was in prayer until I didn't know what I was doing at some point, because why you begin naturally we struggle because every connection between you and the world, the first of all be broko. I struggled with the prayer for some time until I hit a cruise mood, and I didn't know that at that point everything I was doing was resonating in the spiritual until one day I sat. I laid on the ground praying in my room, and then a being walked out of the war I taught demonology was theology. A being walked out of my war and I was nott in trans My eyes were open. I tried to jump up. That was when I discovered I was immobilized, and this being was a woman naked, carryingly read apron on her shoulder, and she walked around me. I kept struggling to rise. I couldn't, and when she came close to me, I looked. I discovered her head was the head of a man. That was when I knew that immorality in Benwiste. It was under the Prince of Pavashon. A point came when they being bade me visit because maybe I didn't know the rain where I was transacting. And when she came, whether she or here now sat on my chest. I tried to push his personality no way and now tried to bite her on the back. Did even notice somebody was talking her. That was when I realized the importance of scriptures. When he said the name, the name of the Lord shall be saved. Now say Jesus save me, and light. Light came out of the ceiling and scattered this being and they being in my realized for the first time, and I understood that whenever you call the name of Jesus, it was not a theological act, it was not a religious activity. You're actually engaging the supernatural if you do it. A point we come when you we see things in the spiritual. You now understand the things that govern your family, why things happen in your family. God, we take you beyond the wail to reveal it to you. For two weeks every year I saw, I wanted to hoger because I made contact with the principality of perversion. I understood that these things were real. God wanted to raise me. I thought becoming a popular preacher was about memorizing scriptures. I memorized scripture for many years. Nothing happen until I committed myself to prayer and told God, whatever you have me, do, how we do. And when I prayed for a long time, suddenly, in the place of prayer, the war of my room vanished, and I saw my compound in the village. What is the meaning of this? Instantly I saw two creatures. Them had ten hounds. The other one looked like a creator that was exhumed from the grave. I could see through the bones, and fear greets me. What is this? And he said, these are the principalities that rule the destiny of many your family. I say, I thought I was born again, Whether I say christ Usus is a new creation. I didn't know the laws that governed the spiritual. He said, whoever you yield yourself sadan to obey the savant of him you are, even if you're a believer. Because Paul was writing to believers, and he said, these guys, they are authorities enacted through four gates. One is pride, two immorality, three lying four his drunkenness. He say, if you avoid these things, they will not have authority over you. So I say, wow. So even if I'm a preacher, a principality, can many pulate me? Yes, if I violate the laws that governed the spiritual I understood what it meant to be a witness. So now you can come for a meeting and say Jesus love you and go home people who have encounters. Most times I come from meeting, I talk about prosperity, and I tell people God break their heart now, and people begin to cry because I have entered into rems of authority. A man who comes on that this government, God giving God gives him authority over kings and rulers. Enlargement is a function of you deness. You don't become a living epiece, so you have nothing to say about God. You may read about him, you may hear somebody talk about him, and at the same you are joking. A point came. I was following so close I could decode. I could encode and decode these messages and quote to the scriptures he quoted. But the more I quoted, the more he suffered and languished in pain on your head. His story, he said, he went to the mountain to pray and fast for three days, and on the third day an injury appeared to him and said, today I have taught your tongue with the cold fire. As you say, that is what you see. And now new wives of men go to the shrine, they speak, the shrine, go down, orders, go to the shrine, they speak. They're paralyzed. It's not because God is not strong. There's no plability in the hand of the Holy Spirit. And now knew why three people will go for interview. One of them came early, answered all the questions. They collected the CIV and threw away. Meanwhile, somebody has kabulate and they collected the CIV. They say, go home and give him the job. Manipulations in the heavenness. You want to have authority among men, you must become a perpetual personality on her that fraternizes with spirits. That's when God makes you a ruler. Your bath kings are your command kings. You tell them what to do. A point comes in your life where you are going somewhere and you say, this is what will happen, and it will happen because I'm the Lord that performed the words of my servant, and confirmed the counsel of my messengers, the fathers of all new distincts. So Elijah will go to tell the king in his pallas and say, so long as I live, not so long as God lives, there shall be no rain, Or do you except according to my world. He knows what it means to become a puppet in the hand of God. When a man becomes a puppet in the hands of God, he's a ruler mong men. He can't speak, and even the kings of the earth with power to him. The reason why we don't have influence and empowerment is because we are not sufficiently submitted to the government of God. Exactly when a man does this, God himself blesses him. God himself is committed to blessing him. You see, certain man, God is jealous about them, You wonder, is God by us? No? They know the buttings to press in the spiritum? And why you prasis those butties? God has no choice. For instance, all the men we spoke about here, like Abraham, like Joe in Job forty two, we stand the Bible said the Lord visited Joe again, and he gave him table for everything he had lost because he had passed the test enlarge men. You see certain men breaking foot on every side. Don't go on envy them. You may do the same thing they are doing. You're weedy because he's a labor of the foolish, he said, the labor of the foolish will every man of them because they know not how to enter the city. The man is not a millionnaire because he's a professor. Start there and become a professor, and you will see that millions don't come to you because they're a professor. The man is not a millionnaire because his trade issues want statue business, you will top. That's why you see certain people they do five business in ten years. They don't know that. This thing is a function of fraternity with spirits. Fraternized with the spirit, that's spirit is committed to blessing you. It is a law in the spirit realm. You want God to bless everything you do, you must first of all come under His government. We do what we do, and we want God to place his blessing upon it. He's a joke. There are men that God himself is committed to press God himself in some one one two, verse one two three, he say, praise be ye, the Lord blessed is the man that feared the Lord, delighted greatly in his commandment. And then you see a numeration. His seed shall be mighty upon the earth. The narration of the op right shall be blessed, he said, weld and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness endure it forever. Who is that man, the man that feared the Lord and delighted greatly in his commandment. If prosperity is far from your quarters, is because you have no commonder government. It doesn't matter what you do, you will reduce to nothing men that have their riches and their prosperity and their righteousness enduring forever. He said. They are people that are that fear the Lord. They delight in his commandment. The word of the Lord is their greatest delight. Such men have no choice but to be mighty. I head Beidable say something some time ago, and I said, now can a man talk like this? I said, is this correct? I became afraid. I was praying for him. He said, even if I want to be poor nice too late? You hear you think it's arrogance. He knows the key, he said, even if I want to. He now made a statement, I'm not surprised where we are today if we were not out of being surprise. A man is prosperity. He is unapologetic about it because he knows the laws of the spiritual God himself, is committed to fulfilling it, because he spoke it, and he's under his own laws that he deliberately choose to stay under his world. Men that move the hand of God, there are men that understands secrets that govern the realm. In Exodus twenty nine to twenty nine, he said, the secret is belong to God. But the things that are red, they belong to us and to our children forever. The secret of eternal prosperity is to come under the government of the Messiah. He will furnish you with the spiration. He will cause men to lose their peace, but to bless you no wonder. I say, your sons and your daughter, as we come from a fast strangers, we stand to build your world. How come there is something walking in your life, something working in your life. People will look at you and just want to bless you. If you're at them. They don't know why there is something at work you have traded with the economy of the Spirit to a level were even the realm have no choice but to obey you. The secret of everlasting prosperity, the fear of the Lord is brokenness, is to stay under the government of God. With laboring. Your effort cannot make you prosper It is the blessing of the Spirit that is upon your life that will make you prosper. Go and ask every body that made it in this world there is a spirit they fraternize with. They say, threashood. You cannot go beyond unless you come onder a government of a spirit, whether in light or in darkness. He said, it is the blessings of God that make it rich, and added no surol to it. So this thing is not just about eternity. Eternity eternity even in time. This is how it works. You cannot be big in time unless you are under the government of a spirit. There is nothing like luck and chance in time. Everything in time is orchestrated. Wise men don't wait for those things anymore. They know how to make it happen. So they live their lives barely making things happen in their favor. When they speak their voices become like the voice of a spirit. That's why the Bible say when we speak, we should speak as the custodians of the oracles of God. This afternoon, I want us to borrow our hairds and prayer. Every one of us know the areas of rebellion. I say always that these things are not doctrines. These things are consecration based. Wherever you are today in this world, if you're not under the government of the Holy goes, it's a risk. Poor was telling Timothive. It says not to exhort the novice, because when it becomes great, that is when the devil will attack him and make a mess of him. You may have lived by luck and chance, and now you are thirty years you have fifty years, and you say, but I have prospered. The Bible say there is an evil day for every man. I've seen people that raise families children mighty, just on their way for Christmas, and they are crossed on the road because what they don't know is that that day was the day the devil appointed. He waited for them to become mighty. So he sends a witch of ten years old to go to do it with them. So the It was to clear whole family from the road. It's a risk to live in this world without the government of God. It doesn't matter what you think is happening for you. It is spirits that rule this realm. It is spirits that regulate the happiness in this realm. It is spirits that govern this realm and tends be to God. We have a free ticket to fraternize with the Holy Spirit. But when the Holy Goos comes to us, there are different points of contacts. Some of us the point of contact is the Holy Goes telling us to keep sponsoring the walk of the Kingdom. It doesn't make sense, but it is called life in the spirit. You gave today, tomorrow say gifts. That's tomorrow, and say gives. What is doing is that it's walking on your soul so that your soul can become a lively stone. That is what we make. You have his stake in Zion. Some of us is prayer. You are praying, and he said, keep pray. The day you want to live is a pray. More is walking on you because there's a place in Zion that you cannot stand until your paying time. Some of us is firsting. Some of us it's missions like our brother, whatever it is, the Holy Gooes is bringing upon your life that it will not change his mind. That is the government of God that will make you eternally relevant. This is where you don't need to read the Bible to become great, because the elders of old, when they work with God, there were no Bibles. It was their life tide that became scriptures because they understood the intelligence of spiritual government. In the days of Abraham there were no scriptures. In the day of Ennock, in the days of Noah, there were no scriptures. What they did were the things written down as scriptures for you and Ah. And the Bible said in fifteen before he said, the things that we were written afore time. They were written for our learning, so that we true patients and comfort of the scriptures might have hope in first currential standing level. He said, the things that happen to them happen as an example and to us. On the end of the age is come. This is where we journey past doctoring into life, because our consecration is what we make us eternally level. Tell the Lord you repent, Tell the Lord you commit to him. You did not realize his government. But now you do and you are going to make that government the definition of your life. Can we pray a little more? We like all of us this afternoon to ask God to eve us light For many of us these things have come like information, and our souls have been touched, or the desire of the Almighty is for us STIs to be impacted, or what we have had with our natural years to permate our souls and get into our spirits. Light must come. Can we, all, brave fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, Father, give us. Light more light? By that what we have heard, we begin to enter. For Scripture says the entrance of the world, give light. God has not come to inform me, It has come to transform me. Is it possible for us to raise a cry onto God for the next five minutes? The Bible says, this poor man cried, and the Lord head, this poor man crying, and the Lord Head of our souls have afflicted us until this time. Is it possible for you to cry where you are? Cry where you are? Don't let me go back the where I came from. They go from strength to strengths, every one of them, and Zion appeared before God. If it is to Zion we. Have come, then they should increase in strength. I haven't had contact with God. Can we pray? Can we pray fervently? God, my Father, by reason of this revelation, you have brought upon us, to the rise upon us like never before. Let my spirit within me be engulfed in the flames of these revelations. I'm glad you're praying. What can you prayle tomorrow, Father, let your hand lay hold upon me and bring. Me deep into these things. Mm hmm, bring me deep into these things? Oh God, Hello, he don hell he shape you know God? Hellui my donor? Hello he we woll ship you most. Cordos, condo cad. Ellum don't know? Hello, be ship you.
