Accessing Diverse Miracles

[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.

[0:12] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The best position to be in life is the position of being hungry for God.

[0:27] When your soul hungers for God, there's nothing God cannot do through you. When your soul is hungry for God, there is nothing your destiny hungers for in life.

[0:44] Because when your soul is hungry for God, God is always on demand for you. It's not everything you pray about, you see answers.

[0:58] In other words, there are some miracles and testimonies that will happen in your life without praying about them. The Bible says, before they will call, I will answer.

[1:10] Before they ask, I will say, here I am. Isaiah said, it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer. And it's not just before they call that I will answer.

[1:21] He said, while they are still speaking, I will hear. I see God doing a new thing in your life. He said, it shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer.

[1:34] And guess what? While they are still speaking, while they are still speaking, God said, while they are, so you don't have to finish speaking. You are still speaking.

[1:45] You are still asking for things. You are still, you are still telling things. While they are speaking, are we here? Why? Because when you have a heart for God, it's not everything you pray about before you get answers for.

[2:00] When you have a heart for God, what you haven't asked God, he grants you. In other words, God even gives you more than you ask for. I believe that in this month of kingdom dedication, somebody's commitment and dedication to the things of God is moving you from the tail of the cube and bringing you to the front of the cube.

[2:32] Amen. Amen. Yeah, I'm prophesying. Your dedication to God and his kingdom makes anything that concerns your life, your progress, a priority for heaven.

[2:50] Your dedication to the kingdom of God makes anything concerning your life a priority for heaven. Your concerns become heaven's priorities when you are dedicated to the course of heaven, the course of God.

[3:09] When you are sold out to the course of God, your concern becomes heaven's priority. It says, seek ye first the kingdom of God and the righteous and all these things shall be added.

[3:20] God does the addition. He takes care of some things. He says, do not worry about what you eat, what you drink, because he says, for your heavenly father is happy, is pleased.

[3:33] It pleases the father to give you the kingdom. For heavenly father knows he needs it. Then he talks about, I think, look, how the heavenly father is pleased to give you the kingdom.

[3:44] No, Luke chapter 12, I think so. He's pleased to give you the kingdom. He's actually, he's happy when you get it. But most times people struggle.

[3:56] Do not feel a little for your heavenly. It's God's good pleasure to give you. It's God. God is happy when you are getting some things. I see you getting some things that you need to get in life in the name of Jesus.

[4:08] Second Peter chapter one, verse three and four talks about how he has given us, his father has given to us all things.

[4:19] Somebody say all things. All things. Please repeat it. All things. Say for the last time louder. All things.

[4:30] All things. He says that his divine power is God's power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through the knowledge of him who has called us by glory and virtue.

[4:49] Watch the more you are knowing him. The more you are knowing him, Bible says that his divine power provides all things to you through the knowledge. He provides to us.

[5:01] That is why you can't prioritize singing or music over teaching. it's too costly if you put teaching of god's word you make it secondary and you make other things that might entertain you and encourage you and make you pleased that in yourself and your soul it's too costly because he supplies his power his divine power okay his divine power has given to us all things that pertain things that have to do with life and your spiritual work your church life your godliness and life is already provided and it becomes actualized through the knowledge of him you have to know christ that's why paul said that i might know him all your focus is i want to know him so you hunger and thirst that you might know him because if you know him oh remember that scripture or um for they that know their god shall be strong and doing knowing god is not something to be trivialized knowing god knowing god i'm not talking about knowing theology i'm talking about you walk with him you know him through his word and you obey him through his word the more you obey him through his word the more he becomes real to you you see obedience and practicing of the word of god exposes you to certain depths in life which nothing else can expose you to so jesus christ is this way in john chapter 8 verse 31 he said if you continue in my word then i then i hear my disciples indeed continue someone say continue continue you know when we started encounter first the first message i preached was continue yes continue i might touch on it again tonight so continue if you get to the jews which believe in him if you continue in my word so you can believe and not continue in his word not continue there are people who are who are believers but they want to live like unbelievers enjoy everything unbelievers so-called enjoy that's even not enjoyment is endearment bible calls the pleasures of sin okay so let me put it there enjoy the pleasures of sin we can't pretend as though it's it's not sweet some of the things is nice but it will just cost you the pleasures of sin bible says that uh uh is that in his presence are pleasures forever more i think in psalm 11 or in 3 or something like that in his presence are pleasures forever more forever more pleasures or 16 somewhere there forever more pleasures are in his presence my bible talks about the pleasures of egypt for a season so psalm 16 verse 11 he said yeah you will show me the path of life in your presence is fullness of joy and at the right time what forever more pleasures pleasures so god doesn't have problem for you to enjoy life and have pleasure but there's a problem when you attempt to get it in the wrong way it will be pleasures for a season hebrews chapter 11 verse 24 to 26 it says that moses didn't want to that was he chose the affliction with god's people than to enjoy the passing than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season the pleasures of sin you remember that guy so i tell you it's just for a season the pleasures of sin is for a season yeah you remember used to go to all kinds of places you used to steal

[9:01] and you thought you're having fun now that you have matured you see that it was quite not wise stuff you do you did pleasures for a season so something that we do against god's word it doesn't matter how much we are enjoying from it they are pleasures for a season pleasures but god has pleasures forever more for us i see you moving towards pleasures forever more pleasures forever more and how do you get precious pleasure for more said in his presence is fullness of joy and at his right time are pleasures no wonder the psalmist said my soul tests for you so i can be in your presence lord i want to be in your presence lord i want to be with you but i want to be with you my soul tell him what i see verse verse 7 and verse 8 said my my soul said because you have been my help therefore uh uh let's look at verse 8 my soul my soul follows close behind you king james please my soul my soul follows hard after you hard following god hard following god hard so he said my my soul tests for you he said i i i test for your presence i long for your presence some 42 verse 1 and 2 he says that as the deer pants for the waters so my soul pants on my so so pants my soul after you oh god the deer has a sense sensitivity for water miles away miles so there'll be water miles away and the deer can say that there is water and the deer will go because they love water and they will run towards water and one of the reasons why they also love water is they i've said this before the deer usually has a very peculiar body odor or body smell so when a a predator is coming to eat it or a lion or a hyena or a tiger or any of those carnivorous animals are coming to hunt for the deer the deer if the deer tries to hide in the bush the lion knows that he's here he's here you see a river fee fee fee fee fee for i smell i smell there's something of a human here so the the deer the deer can smell or so the lion can smell the deer is here the deer also has a peculiar smell so when its life is in danger it doesn't go it doesn't have to look for a place to easily hide because even because even if he goes to hide the lion will find him because the lion will know he's here he's here so what does he do but the smell gets neutralized and um yeah neutralized when he gets the deer gets into water so when its life is at in in danger what it looks for is water because if i can get to what i'll be fine i can get to so there is like when someone is not well an ambulance has to ride them to them if we can get to the hospital quickly it will be okay the deer too knows that my life my the deer can run very fast so when the lion or the cheetah or the tiger or whatever animal is coming after it the first thing he has to do is he has to run towards water and he knows where there's water he can sense there's water miles away so when his life is in danger it doesn't look for a hiding place even though other animals will be looking for a hiding place the deer does not look for a hiding place do you know what it looks for it looks for water and he pants he begins to run pants after waters and the psalmist said the way the deer pants after waters oh boy that is how my soul pants after you i don't have money i'll pant after god

[13:06] i don't have a wife i'm panting i need a husband i pant after god i need a job i pant after god things are hard for me my life is i'm very worried about my life i pant for god things are so difficult for me i pant for god so your life pants you pants you pants so psalmist said as the deer pants for the water books so my soul god i love to be in your presence and counterfeits what does what does it does it start seven i'll be there 6 30 i'll be there 6 15 i just can't wait i can't i just can't wait and when we are even about to close i feel like oh i want it to continue my soul pants after you and i started by saying your biggest advantage in life is your desire for god your desire for god so he says that he says that if you if you um john again in john chapter 8 verse 31 he said if you continue in my word then are ye my disciples indeed for real then are ye my disciples for real and guess what then the next the next word that follows is and so you have to be a real disciple and then you will know the truth so the truth this truth is not just based on reading is based on practice the truth you will know that sets you free is the truth you know by practicing oh i i am i making sense somebody because that if you continue in my word in other words if you practice my word then you are my disciples indeed and you will know the truth because you will know the truth by living in the word by obeying the way by practicing the way you will know the truth some of us who have put god's word into action you see the manifestation of it and sometimes it's like wow it's like wow this is amazing this god you are too much when you work with god you are dedicated to the things of god i'm i'm about to drop this thing in again there are some of us here you actually don't have a big plan to be fully and yieldedly dedicated to the things of god is a real concern for your destiny it's a real concern for your destiny because your dedication to god is what determines heaven's attention on you what determines how far heaven can how far heaven can promote you and the extent to which heaven will do things for you your dedication your commitment to the things of god and when you are committed to the things of god the the possibilities in god are endless when you pray it gets answered quickly easily now when you when you begin to practice god's word and you do some of the things and you begin to see the the answers it's like wow this is just too beautiful i am madly madly uncontrollably committed to the work of god i love it i love to die for the gospel what i love to do and it's been like this with me for the past 30 years i've loved it and brothers and sisters i'm loving it i'm loving it i'm loving it i'm loving it i'm loving doing god's work i i love it i love it even if god doesn't bless me says that i'm not blessing you no problem even the chance to do god's work oh i love it hallelujah and that is what will place people like us ahead of a lot of other people because they are not dedicated to the things of god when you are dedicated it starts with you you actually want to be with him and you want to do for him you want to be with him and you want to do for him or better still you want to be with him and for him to do through you for him to do through you

[17:07] and bible says in romans chapter 8 verse 32 he who did not spare his son his only son but gave him you see he he he that spared not his own son but delivered him out for us how shall he not with him also freely give us all things i want to say all things oh there are things once you are born again god is happy to freely give you all things god is working in our midst in a very a very powerful way he is working in a very powerful way and i see you moving from glory to glory glory to glory glory to glory glory to glory now in hebrews chapter 2 um verse 3 let's let's take it from verse 2 uh for if the word spoken to angels was steadfast and every transgression and disobedience receive a just recompense of reward how shall we escape if we neglect so great salvation which has begun to be spoken by the lord this salvation began to be spoken by the lord and one was confirmed unto us by them that heard him so god jesus started speaking and his apostles preached the same thing look at the next verse by them that heard him god also bearing witness both so when jesus started speaking it it was confirmed by his apostles when he left them they also started continually speaking the same thing jesus has been speaking if a bible talks that bible calls it i think in first timothy one ten i suppose talks that the words of jesus christ the wholesome ways the the words that are called to the i think six three rather and very i think i believe it's first timothy six three yeah or one ten talks about um yeah so if any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholesome ways even the words of our lord jesus christ and the doctrine which are called to god these are words of jesus christ then those are the same thing we continue to teach okay now he said jesus started to speak and it was confirmed by his apostles and who who it was confirmed by his apostle and then god also bearing them witness so god you know how god bears god bears witness he's saying i'm a witness i'm going to stand in the witness box and as the pastor is preaching this pastor as he preaches the words of our lord jesus christ i'm also going to bear witness god bearing them witness both with signs and wonders and diverse miracles and gifts of the holy coast according to god's own will so as we preach the word god bears witness to them the the purity authenticity and the power of his word nicodemus said to jesus christ how can anyone do all these things if john 3 2 no one can do these things except god be with him no one there are some things that god himself does to prove his engagement and his involvement and he always proves himself bible said god also i like that that word also so adesadam did their own god also does his part hebrew chapter 2 verse 4 god also god also bearing them witness he said i am going to testify i agree i i learned my credit i learned my my ascent to it given my backing that this is of me god also bearing them witness how does he do that how does god bear witness both with signs and wonders and with diverse miracles oh god i believe we are about to step into another phase because uh encounter first today is day number 10 we are about to step into another phase of diverse kinds of
