Description

When God wants to help you, He will send a prophet your way. The lack of a prophet can also hinder a miracle. A prophet’s role is to speak God’s word. We know from scripture that God does not only confirm the word of his prophets, but sends his word through them. For the word to work for us, we must believe in the words of his Prophets and not become familiar. By doing this and obeying the word of God’s messengers, we shall see our miracles manifest.

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:11] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. This is the day of God's manifestation, the day of God's power, the demonstration of God's power in your life, the day of divine intervention, the day of supernatural turnaround.

[0:34] This is the day where your obstacles will be turned into a miracle. This is the day where every affliction, oppression on your life will be turned around by the power of the Holy Spirit.

[0:48] If you believe it, shout Amen. Amen. I believe that something new is coming your way. I believe that God is doing a new work.

[0:59] God is doing a powerful work. God is doing a marvelous work. And very soon, it shall manifest in your life, and all eyes shall see that God is visiting you and is putting laughter in your mouth.

[1:13] When God puts laughter in the mouth of Sarah, He says that in the mouth of Sarah, people laughed with Him. And He said that he that was barren has born child.

[1:30] The one who has been barren. The Bible says that people will laugh with me and they will see that Sarah has born Abraham child in his old age. Genesis chapter 21.

[1:42] He says that Sarah said, God has made me to laugh and all who hear will laugh with me. Look at verse 5. Verse 7. This is the one I'm looking for. Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would nurse children?

[1:59] For I have born him a son in his old age. Somebody say Amen. Amen. Amen. Born him a son in his old age.

[2:10] Sarah said, I have born Abraham a son in his old age. She said, who would have said that Sarah would nurse children?

[2:23] For I have born him a son in his old age. I see God making you. Look at verse 6 again. Verse 6 is more important. Verse 6. It says that for God has made me to laugh and all who hear will laugh with me.

[2:42] God has made me to laugh and all who hear will laugh with me. I see God visiting you with laughter. I see God visiting you with a change of story.

[2:55] Amen. I see God visiting you with a breakthrough. Amen. If you want to shout a living, Amen. Amen. Amen. God is visiting you.

[3:05] God is changing your story. God is doing it for you. God is putting laughter in somebody's mouth. This evening, I am so confident.

[3:16] And I know that somebody's situation has changed for good. Say, I believe it, Lord. I believe it, Lord. Somebody's situation has radically changed.

[3:28] And God is the same God who did it for Sarah. He is the same according to Hebrews chapter 13 verse 8. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

[3:40] God does not change. He is the same yesterday. He is the same today. And He is the same forever. Hallelujah. Today, I really want to teach you to finish that message about why some people don't receive miracles.

[4:00] Before I go on to that, I need you to notice something. It's very, very important. In the book of Luke chapter 14 verse 17.

[4:14] Luke chapter 14 verse 17. He said, all things are ready. All things are ready. When? Now. They are now ready.

[4:25] Come. For all things are ready. He sent His servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden.

[4:36] Come. Those who have been invited to come for encounter first. Tell them, come. For all things are now ready. I need, I just need you to think about it.

[4:52] It's time for supper. We are about to feast in the presence of God. These are feasts of miracles. Encounters. Encounters.

[5:04] There's somebody, already you feel something all around you. It's like you're not sick. It's like you're shaking. You feel, it's like something has come upon you. It's the power of the Holy Spirit. It's the power of the Holy Spirit.

[5:16] You feel, you feel, you feel something. It's like you're shaking and you feel so tearful. You feel there's something that's a presence. But it's a negative presence. It's a wonderful sweet presence. You feel heavy on you.

[5:29] It will continue throughout the night. It won't stop now. You feel it. God is doing a major work on. It's already coming. It's also coming on another person. You are listening to me on YouTube. It's coming on you.

[5:40] It's coming on you. It's a presence. It's the presence of God. Receive it now. Let the power of the Holy Ghost envelop you and cover you. A lot of things are happening right now. People are receiving spiritual gifts.

[5:51] People are receiving spiritual gifts. People are receiving encounters. People are, tonight, some people will have encounters. As you go to bed in your dream, you will see, you will see, you will have encounters. You will have, some of you will see God using his prophet to speak to you and show you something, telling you about some things that you have been thinking about and praying for.

[6:08] You will see, some of you will have encounters with God speaking to you. Encounters in the middle of the night, the Spirit of God, the presence of the Holy Ghost is going to be so strong on you. You won't be able to go back to normal living again.

[6:21] People are having encounters tonight. People are having encounters. Why? Because all things are now ready. You are ready now. What?

[6:33] The package with your name on it is ready now. So as you come here, what are you coming to do? You are coming to claim your portion. Why? Because the package with your name on it is ready now.

[6:47] It's ready now. It's ready now. Someone, if you don't mind, and you are not driving, you can lift up your two hands and say, I receive my miracle now.

[6:57] I receive my breakthrough now. I receive my breakthrough now. I receive my testimony now.

[7:10] I receive my testimony now. I receive divine encounters now. I receive my testimony now. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus.

[7:21] Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. It's so important you understand that your testimony is now. In Mark chapter 1, verse 40, a leper came to Jesus.

[7:36] And when the leper came to Jesus, he said to Jesus that, Lord. And there came a leper to him, begging him, beseeching him, and kneeling down to him and saying, saying unto Jesus, If you are willing, you can make me clean.

[7:54] If you are willing, if you are willing. Excuse me. Is God able to do exceedingly, abundantly, above all you can think of, ask of?

[8:05] Yes. Is God able to do a miracle for you? Yes. Is God able to put laughter in your mouth? Yes. Is God able to turn your crisis into a testimony? Yes.

[8:16] So God is able. But the issue is, is God willing? Is he willing to heal your sickness now? Is he willing to change your story now? Is he willing to release your marriage or give you your miracle breakthrough marriage?

[8:30] Is he willing to give you a breakthrough job? Is he willing to give you that breakthrough? Is God willing to give you the supernatural turnaround? Is he willing? If he's able, is he willing? Is he willing?

[8:42] In Proverbs chapter 3, this is very important. Before Proverbs chapter 3, in Matthew chapter 6, verse 9, he said, When you pray, say, Our Father, who acts in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven, verse 11.

[9:00] Give us this day. When? This day. When? This day. When? This day. You have to determine.

[9:12] Don't say, I'm waiting for it tomorrow. I need the healing today. If you are able, Lord, I need my healing. Give me this day. Give us this day.

[9:23] It's a daily necessity. Daily bread. There is something with your name on it for today. If God can do it today, watch this. Why would he say tomorrow?

[9:33] Proverbs chapter 3, verse 27. Look at this. He said, when someone comes to you and asks you for help, and you have the power to do it, do not withhold good from those to whom it is due.

[9:48] When it is in your power, when it is in the power of your hand to do it, is it in God's power to heal you? Is it in God's power to heal you?

[10:02] Is it in God's power to change your story? Is it in God's power to turn your situation around? God said, when it's in your power to do something, don't withhold it and say, I won't do it. Don't withhold it.

[10:14] He said, do not withhold good. Someone shout, good. Somebody, as the louder you shout, the good, the more you see good and you hear good news. Somebody shout, good.

[10:26] Good. He said that, do not withhold good from those to whom it is due. I don't know, but I believe there is somebody, me I know is due, I'm due.

[10:36] I'm due for good from above. Today, not tomorrow, today. Today, I'm due for good from above. I'm due for good from above. I am due for good from above.

[10:48] I am due for good from above. I believe that you are also due for good from above. He said, do not withhold good from people who are due. When it is in the power of your hand to do it, if God can do it, then why will he say tomorrow?

[11:04] Look at verse 28. Verse 28 says that, do not say to your neighbor, go and come back and tomorrow I will give it to you. When you have it, all things are ready now.

[11:21] All things are ready now. Your breakthrough is ready now. Give us this day our daily bread.

[11:31] Give us this day. It's not tomorrow. Don't give me tomorrow, today's bread tomorrow. I want today's bread today. Jesus said, bread and healing is the bread of the children.

[11:44] Matthew chapter 15 verse 26. Healing is the bread of the children. Healing is the bread of the children. It's not good to take the children's bread.

[11:55] So healing is the bread of the children. And he said, give us this day our daily bread. Your daily healing is now. Somebody is already receiving healing. In the name of Jesus, give us this day our daily bread.

[12:11] When it is your power. So the leper came to Jesus and he says, Mark chapter 1 verse 14. If you are willing, you can make me clean.

[12:21] Do you know what Jesus said? Do you want to know what Jesus said? Jesus asked, then Jesus moved with compassion, stretched his hand, his hand, and touched him and said to him, I am willing.

[12:34] So God is able and God is willing. Those who feel God doesn't want to heal me. It's a lie of the devil. God is able and God is willing.

[12:47] God is able and God is willing. Not only healing, but even your breakthrough, your testimony, any crisis in your life is being turned into a testimony.

[13:00] Every crisis in your life is being turned into a testimony. That crisis in your life. If I be a prophet of God, I prophesy. I prophesy the word of the Lord.

[13:11] Hear ye the word of the Lord. That situation you are going through. That crisis you are going through. I speak the word of the Lord against it. And I convert it and turn it into a testimony. Those obstacles turn into miracles.

[13:23] Those obstacles turn into miracles. In the name of Jesus, that breakdown turns into a breakthrough. That breakdown turns into a breakthrough. In the name of Jesus.

[13:34] In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. God is turning somebody's situation around. Hallelujah. God is turning somebody's captivity around.

[13:47] Why is it that some people don't receive miracles? If God is willing. If God is able. God is willing.

[14:00] Then why? Why? As I will not receive them. And one of the things you have to understand. As I read earlier on. He said, tell them. Invite them and tell them to come for a counterfeits.

[14:13] Come for the dinner. For all things are now ready. Now in 2 Corinthians 6.2. In 2 Corinthians 6.2. He said, now is the acceptable time.

[14:27] Behold. Now is the accepted time. Give me the prophetic in James please. Behold. Now. Behold. Now is the day of salvation.

[14:38] Behold. Now is the accepted time. It's the same as the new King James. Let's go to the New King James then. Behold. Now is the accepted time. He says.

[14:49] In an acceptable time I have heard you. And in your day of salvation I have helped you. Guess what? The good news is. Behold. Now is the accepted time.

[15:01] So if he said. In the acceptable time I have heard you. And in that day of salvation I have helped you. Then he is saying that. Now is the acceptable time. Now is the day of salvation.

[15:13] Now. Now. When? No. When? No. I can't hear you. No. No. If you believe me.

[15:24] Let me hear you. When? No. When are you expecting your breakthrough? No. When are you expecting your miracles? No. When are you expecting your healing?

[15:36] No. When are you expecting your testimonies? No. Now. Now is the accepted time. Now. Now. Now.

[15:47] Now. In the mighty name of Jesus. So shall it be. Amen. I want to explain. What else? I started. God is real.

[16:00] And God is here. What did I say. About. why some people don't receive their miracles. Number one is the way to receive a miracle is you have to believe in God.

[16:13] Believing in God means believing in God's word. It means believing in Jesus. All the three are the same. Believe in God means you believe in Jesus, you believe in his word. You know God is able to do it.

[16:24] Like I just said, you believe in God and you believe what the Bible has said, what the word of God has said. You believe it. You believe it is yours and it's working for you. You believe it.

[16:35] So you believe in God and you believe in his word. Listen, believing is fundamental. It's fundamental when it comes to receiving from God. Fundamental.

[16:46] Jesus said, be unto you according to your faith. Fundamental. So believe in God. Believe in God. And number two, I said, so the reason why people don't receive their miracle is because they don't believe in God.

[17:00] The miracle you are not believing God for, forget it. The miracle you are not believing God for, forget it. Forget it.

[17:12] You have to believe God for it in order to authorize God to do it. Believe God for it. Why doesn't some people, why don't some people receive miracles?

[17:22] Because they do not believe in God. Number two, number one, so lack of faith in God. Number two, lack of prophets.

[17:32] They don't have a prophet. If God is going to help you, he's going to use an agent. Yes. God uses agents. Agents. Divine agents.

[17:44] Not estate agents, please. I didn't mean estate agents. Or employment agents. I'm talking about divine agents. Divine agents, they are called, the name for them, okay, the name, the tag is prophets.

[18:01] So a prophet is an agent. Watch this. It's an agent for human help from above. So when God wants to help human beings, he will send a prophet. It's on that premise, I tell you, I am a prophet sent from God.

[18:17] Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. I am a prophet. Now, if you don't know, just go back, listen to the testimonies and see how God has held people through my ministry and my life.

[18:29] And tonight is no different. God is going to help many people tonight. I'm telling you, many people, as I speak already, things are happening. So you, but God uses prophets.

[18:41] God uses human agents, prophets, as his mouthpiece and his channel through whom help reaches to people. So in Psalm 74, I think verse 9 and verse 10, Psalm 74, look at Psalm 74 verse 9, how he puts it.

[18:59] He says that, we do not, we do not see our signs. There is no longer any prophet. Nor is there any amongst us who knows how long.

[19:13] Look at verse 8. Go to verse 8. Let me show you something. They said in their hearts, let us destroy them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting places of God in the land.

[19:24] These are our enemies. And this is what the people of God are saying. The next, the next verse. We do not, we do, we do not see our signs. What, what's happening to us?

[19:35] There's no, there, give me King James please. Yeah, we, we see not our signs. There is no more, any prophet. Because if there is prophet, you remember, as I told you the other time, he said, let him come.

[19:49] 2nd Kings chapter, chapter, chapter, chapter 5, verse 8. Let him come, and he will know there is a prophet in Israel. Let him come, and you know there is a prophet.

[20:01] So, in those days, if you want divine intervention, then one of the things you have to look for is a prophet. Because God uses the prophets as his agents.

[20:12] And he still does it. He said, I am the Lord who confirms the word, the Lord who confirms the word, of his messengers. He confirms the word of his messengers, and he makes divineness mad.

[20:27] He confirms the word, in the book of Isaiah, he said, he confirms the word of his messengers, who confirms the word of his servant, and performs the counsel of his messenger, who says to Jerusalem, you shall be inhabited, to the, to the city of Judah, you shall be built, and I will raise, I will raise her waste places, I will raise up her waste places, verse 27, verse 27, who says to the deep, be dry, and I will dry up your rivers, verse 28, I think, let's go to verse 20, rather, 25, yes, 24, 24, from verse 24, that says the Lord, I started reading it, but I didn't finish, and I left, when I saw Redeemer, I jumped to Job, now, that says the Lord, the Redeemer, and he that formed thee from the womb, I am the Lord that maketh all things, hallelujah, I am the Lord that maketh all things, including your marriage, including your breakthrough, including your healing, including your testimony,

[21:28] I am the Lord that maketh all things, that stretcheth for the heavens alone, that spreads abroad the earth by myself, I don't need anyone to help me, if I say I'm going to bless you, don't worry those who are against you, if I say I'm going to bless you, I don't need your help, I will do it, I stretched out the whole heavens by myself, the whole earth by myself, he said I did it all by myself, the next verse, he said, and then, and what does he also do, he frustrates the talking, the New King James please, he frustrates the talking of liars, he frustrates the signs of the babblers, they are lying, they have signs, things to do, to show that what they are saying is credible, he frustrates it, he makes it not working, and drives divineness mad, you know divineness, divineness, they use spiritual means to chant, they use spiritual, but God drives them mad, this time they are working, their thing is not working, they are doing it every day, they are chanting, they are divining, but nothing is working, God said he makes divineness mad,

[22:29] I think I prefer the King James again, he makes divineness mad, that frustrates the talking of liars, and makes divineness mad, and turns wise men backwards, that's aspects, what the aspects have said, God makes them get confused, he turns them wise men backwards, men who know what they are talking about, they are authorities in their field, they are wise in this area, in this territory, and whatever they say is final, and they are saying one thing, but they are confused, because they are saying something else, they are seeing something else, they say one thing, but God turns them backwards, when is they say, God turns them backwards, I see God turning backwards, the negative verdict against your life, that negative verdict, of the lawyer, of the judge, of the doctors, of your openness, of the company, that negative prediction against your life, they said by aspect, but God is turning it backwards, God turns it backwards, and make their knowledge foolishness, did you see that, he makes their knowledge foolish, that is the no, now it doesn't work, because your case, your case will make, will put question, question mark, on the knowledge of the aspects, they will examine your case, they look at the previous evidence, and they look at now, after prayer, and after encounter phase, they are wondering, or after the encounter, with the prophet, they are wondering, what's happened, what's changed, wow, this is, their knowledge, has been made foolishness, they told you, you will never amount, to anything,

[23:55] God will make, their knowledge foolishness, they told you, you are useless, and as for you, nothing good, will come out of you, God, those same teachers, who told you that, those same teachers, who told you that, they will come looking, for a job from you, they will hear about you, you are breaking through, you are doing well, you are a world class, world class force, to be reckoned with, in the name of Jesus, so God, God, God, turns wise men, backwards, makes their knowledge foolish, and not only that, and what, and then, that confirms the word, of his servant, did you see that, so he confirms, the word of his servant, after doing all these things, now what his servant has said, is what he's confirming, so, as he's confirming, the word of his servant, he's making wise men, backwards, he's making divineness man, mad, he's frustrating, the talking of lies, so he frustrates, the talking of lies, makes divineness mad, turns back, wise men backwards, make the knowledge foolish, and then he confirms, the word of his servant, and performs, the counsel, of his messenger, when the pastor, was preaching to you, serve God, it will secure your future, listen to it, because that is what,

[25:03] God will confirm, you go around, messing up, go around, say to me, check this, not my thing, I'll do it when it's convenient for me, go around, hanging around somebody's husband, go around, hanging around somebody's wife, you pair, with your future marriage with it, you will never get that, you might never get another chance, to ever be married, because you have, you have compromised, the health of your future, and it might even go as far, as compromising, the health and safety, of your own children, I know I am prophesied, I am prophesied, God confirms, the counsel, of his messengers, the messengers, the counsel they are bringing, that is what God confirms, that is what God confirms, so you need a prophet, to speak the word of the Lord, and believe in the prophet, that this is a prophet, from God, this is a prophet, and I receive it, when he says, I receive it, believe in his prophet, and you will prosper, believe in God, and you shall be established, believe his prophet, and you will prosper, I prophesied to you, that it is well with you, I prophesied your healing,

[26:05] God confirms, the word of his messengers, the reason why some people, don't have a miracle, the reason why, they don't receive a miracle, is because they don't have, their prophet, they don't have a prophet, to speak into their life, they have not come into contact, with their prophet, when God wants to help you, he will send you a prophet, he will send you, Bible said, Jesus could do no many things, because they didn't believe, in him, and Jesus said, the Bible says, that he marveled, in Mark chapter 6, verse 5, he marveled at their unbelief, he marveled at their unbelief, did you see that, he marveled at their unbelief, he marveled at their, because of their unbelief, and went about the religious teaching, he marveled, because he couldn't do much miracles, he could not do much miracles, say he laid hands on a few, so people came with cancer, leprosy, blindness, sickness, he couldn't heal them, because their unbelief, was too much, he couldn't, he was shocked, these people, even the things, you have heard about me, you still say, oh this is a copy test, and we know him too much, all these small, small pastors, we know that's how, they do their things, this is how they preach, this is how they do,

[27:14] I know, I know, it's your familiarity, that is hurting you, it's your familiarity, with the prophet, that is hurting you, it is dangerous, to be familiar, with someone, a messenger, who carries your testimony, it is dangerous, and so the same person, whom others are feeding from, and receiving testimonies, the same person, someone is, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, Jesus, even Jesus himself, many people didn't believe him, Paul, after he healed a cripple, they came to, they were coming to sacrifice, bulls, they called the, the Hermes, the God of Hermes, and, sorry, the priests, to come and sacrifice, the Zeus, and Hermes, to come and do sacrifice, for Paul, Paul tore his clothes, he said, no, stop this, stop this, verse 15, he said, this is what we are telling you, to turn away from all these dumb, and useless things, and turn to the living God, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, so they wanted to sacrifice, a few verses down the line, some Jews came and polluted the people, and these people who were coming to, they caught Paul, beat him, stoned him, and threw him out of town, and stoned him, they thought he was, they dragged him, they thought he was dead, they said, this is just four verses, four verses after, there's some people who were saying, this is my man of God, this is a great man of God, in fact, they didn't even say, they're a man of God, they said, the gods have come down to us, in human form, the gods have come down to us, in the likeness of men,

[28:44] King James, the gods have come down to us, in the likeness of men, yeah, the God has come down to us, I think it's the NIV, one of them says, in human form, it's the same thing, the God has come down to us, in human form, he said, gods have manifested, so they came and do sacrifices, look, this, after this, verse 19, they stone him to kill him, so, Paul in chapter 19, went and did some miracles, in the, after people received Holy Ghost baptism, Acts chapter 19, verse 6, verse 7, Bible says, some people spoke evil of the way, they started speaking evil, so Paul separated the disciples, it was always like that, there are some who will not believe, but when some will not believe, you see, but when some were hardened, and will not believe, did you see that, they spoke evil of the way, so what I'm trying to say, is that, you have to be careful, identify the prophet, through whom God is visiting you, and be careful, the information, or the negative influences, that others will use, to make you, to desensitize you, or make you become familiar with him, or make you familiar with him, or the vessel,

[29:47] I know I'm preaching worldwide, it's going all over the world, and I'm speaking as a servant of God, there are people who are saying, where is God, where is God, God is in the prophet, you have abandoned, your God, is trying to reach out to you, through the prophet, you are forsaken, through the prophet, your own prophet, he sent you, whom you have abandoned, God is trying to reach out to you, your fasting will not do it, your enough, praying and screaming will not do it, locate your prophet, locate your prophet, there are some things, it will require, the voice of a prophet, they were about to die, they said, is that not a prophet of God, in this land, why are we going to die, Joseph 1 said, no we can't die like that, 2nd King chapter 3 verse 11, is that not a prophet yet, is that not a prophet yet, in 1st Samuel chapter 9, they were looking for the donkeys, Saul said, now we can't find the donkeys, let's go home, and the servant said, no no no, we don't have to go home, there is a prophet of the Lord, in town, let's go, he said, those that you call them as well, seers, there is a seer, in 1st Samuel chapter 9, there is a seer, let's go, and then Samuel said,

[30:56] Saul said, oh but we don't have anything, we can give to him, when we go, because when you are going to the prophet, it's good to honor him, so we don't have anything, to give to him, and the servant said, don't worry, I have something I've hidden, verse 7, Saul became concerned, he said, let's go back home, because by now, my father will be looking for me, or something like that, and then the servant said, no we can't go, let's, I think, let's go to verse 6, he said, look, verse 6, and he said, look, there is in the city, a man of God, he's an honorable man, he's a genuine guy, he's not one of those four, four or nine guys, he's a genuine guy, honorable man, all the things he says, surely come to pass, let us go there, perhaps he can, he can show us, he can show us, why do we go back without a testimony, when we have access, to a man of God, so, you, number one, believe in God, number two, believe in his prophet, number three, the prophet must be genuine prophet, with a word, credible word, when he speaks, it's not his ideas, but he speaks, the word of the Lord, he speaks, the word of the Lord, he speaks, the word of the Lord, he speaks, the word of the Lord, the word of the Lord, is in his mouth, hallelujah, thank you for listening, to hear more from David Entry, follow him on Facebook,
