God has predestined so many things within every Believer’s spirit man. In order to receive our inheritance from God we must engage our spirit through the word of God
[0:00] Thank you for choosing to listen to today's message by Reverend Dr. David Entry. We know you will be blessed as you seek and serve God. We believe that this message will stir up a desire for more of God even as you listen.
[0:13] Be blessed. For some time now I've been talking about hearing from God, God speaking to us, because you can't claim to be walking with God if you are not hearing from Him.
[0:30] But the two are not compatible. Working with God and not hearing from Him.
[0:42] No, it's incongruent. You have to, you hear from Him in order to work with Him because Bible says that and in the cool of the day, Adam heard the voice of God walking in the garden.
[1:02] So he heard the voice of God. When you get close to God, it's not things you see. You hear from Him because in the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God and nothing was made without Him.
[1:23] All things were made by Him. So God is His Word. God is His Word. And Hebrews chapter 1 talks about how God, who at sundry times spoke to us by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son.
[1:53] He's been speaking and He continues to speak. So you can't claim to know God if you can't hear Him. Because the only way you can know God is by hearing Him.
[2:07] And Revelation chapter 1 says that, I, John, I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day and I heard behind me. A loud voice, chapter 1, verse, Revelation 1, 10.
[2:21] I heard behind me. So if you make an attempt to get close to God, the first experience you have is you hear. God doesn't necessarily have to speak into your ears.
[2:35] He does not need your ears to speak to you. When Jesus said, he who has an ear, let him hear.
[2:54] He was not speaking to deaf people. Deaf people who were deaf. He was speaking to people who were listening to Him. He spoke a parable.
[3:07] And when he finished speaking the parable, he said, He who has an ear, let him hear. Luke chapter 8, verse 8 said, He who has an ear, let him hear.
[3:21] He who has an ear, let him hear. So, in Revelation chapter 2, verse 7, He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.
[3:35] Revelation chapter 2, verse 11, He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation chapter 2, verse 17, He who has an ear, let him hear.
[3:48] Revelation 2, verse 29, He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Revelation chapter 3 verse 13.
[4:01] Can't you notice that your hearing is essential? Revelation chapter 3 verse 22. He who has an ear, let him hear. The only way you can enjoy from God and enjoy God and believe God and be with God is by developing your ability to hear.
[4:22] Because if you don't develop your ability to hear, you will be handicapped. That's what is happening to a lot of people who claim to be Christians. They claim to be Christian, but there's nothing exceptional about their life.
[4:38] So, what's the point? The only thing is they go to church. Going to church is not what makes a person a Christian. Mother does being born in a Christian family make you a Christian.
[4:51] Your father being a preacher doesn't make you a Christian. Your mother being a vicar. Or you were born in the vicarage does not make you a Christian.
[5:05] What makes you a Christian is your believing. And believing in nothing but Christ. You can believe in a lot of other things that don't make you a Christian. You can believe that the church is good.
[5:15] It doesn't make you a Christian. You can believe that church people are nice. It doesn't make you a Christian. You can believe that God created the heavens and the earth. It doesn't make you a Christian. You can believe that Big Bang is a fast.
[5:25] It doesn't make you a Christian. The only thing that makes you a Christian is believing in Christ, a son of the living God, that he died to save us from our sins. And your sins are forgiven because of his death on the cross.
[5:39] And if you put your trust in, that's when you believe it and then you leave that belief out. That's what makes you a Christian. So I suppose those of us here, we are here because we are leaving our beliefs out. So if you just attend a social gathering, a social function, unfortunately some of us have attended churches and what is supposed to be presented as churches.
[5:59] It's a church building, but it's not a church. You went into a church building, but you didn't go to a church. Excuse me. You didn't go to a church because the word of God was not predominant, was not the preeminent thing there.
[6:14] The word of God, Christ, was not the center. It's all about gathering of people and ideologies. It's not church. And some of us used to go to places where there were a lot of Christians, but they were not believers.
[6:28] You went into a church building. The vicar who was leading was a professional. He was trained at school. It's a job. It's a job. It's not a calling.
[6:39] It's a job. I'm not saying every vicar. No. Pastors do. It's all right. The one who was leading, who you thought is a priest, he doesn't even believe in hell.
[6:52] And you think he went to church. No. The one preaching doesn't believe in hell. The one preaching, he said, oh, Jesus can't believe in me. There are things Jesus said, which certain people call themselves preachers, and they don't believe in me.
[7:05] And they unashamedly will say it on interviews, BBC, anywhere. They say, no. Jesus can't believe in me. The Bible can't believe in me. We can't live our lives as a preacher. He's supposed to be a preacher.
[7:16] We can't live our lives based on the Bible. The Bible is very good. Brubbish. And they are supposed to be leading you. The Bible says, if the blind leads the blind, the two will fall into a ditch.
[7:32] Jesus called the Pharisees blind guys. In fact, he called them fools. He said, blind guys. Matthew 23, verse 16, somewhere there, verse 16, verse 19, verse 23, or somewhere there.
[7:47] He kept calling them fools. Blind guys. He said, you strain out a nut. He said, blind. If the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch.
[8:02] Matthew 16 is, I think, the one out there. No, Matthew 23. Yeah, he said, he's there. Matthew 23 called them a lot of the times. Blind. Fools. Hypocrites.
[8:14] Yeah, verse 16. Fools and blind. Oh, come on. That was very unacceptable. He was teaching. He said, woe to you blind guides who say, whosoever swears, that he tells them what they have been doing wrong.
[8:29] And then I think somewhere in the verse 23, 24, it talks about, you strain out, 24 and 25, you strain out a nut but swallow a camel. Scribes and philip.
[8:41] Hypocris. Blind guides. You strain out a nut but swallow a camel. You know where a nut is? No Nathaniel. It's a tiny, you know.
[8:53] And when they are going to drink the water, they make sure they are straining it out. But the whole glass is dirty and filthy. A big, big nut. You swallow it.
[9:04] And not you look out for a nut but swallow a camel. You are certainly blind. So it is easy for blind people to be leading a congregation.
[9:16] And Jesus said in Matthew 15 that if the blind leads the blind, both will fall into a ditch. So we have to revisit. Please, don't follow what society is saying.
[9:32] It's the ultimate. This should determine your judgment. Society, the whole, all of society can be moving in one wrong direction.
[9:43] Later on, probably people will wake up and find out. When there was slave trade, practically, it was normal. Some people were even using the Bible to justify it. So the fact that it's acceptable, it's an acceptable behavior, it's a norm in our society, doesn't make it right.
[10:04] You're a Christian. I dare challenge you. How much of God's word do you have inside you? That's what determine how Christian you are. the Bible, the Bible, you are speaking like the devil.
[10:16] No, you are speaking like the devil, dissing the Bible, dismissing the Bible. That's the devil's number one job. The first time the devil spoke in the Bible was to challenge God's word. The first time we ever knew it was on record in history.
[10:31] The first time Satan spoke in history is, did God really say? Genesis chapter 3, verse 1. And 2.
[10:42] He says that, he came to the woman, and he said to the woman, has God in this said, you shall not eat of every tree of the garden, twisted God's word. Meanwhile, God said, in Genesis chapter 2, verse 16, that in every tree of the garden, you freely eat.
[10:58] Of every tree of the garden, you may freely eat. So why did he come in verse 3, verse 1? Why did he come and say that, did God really say, of every tree of the garden, you shall not eat of every...
[11:11] God never said that. His primary target is to challenge and attack God's word. So then some of you, as soon as the word of God is coming, he'll make you sleep.
[11:25] Yeah, I'm talking to you. He'll make you sleep. He'll make you sleep. Because he can't afford for you to have word. Satan has sleeping tablets he injects into people.
[11:47] Can you imagine? Jesus was being baptized, and the Bible talks about, the Bible says, in Luke chapter 4, verse 21, and he praying, the people, it came to pass, while the people were being baptized, Jesus was also being baptized, and praying, the heavens was open, the Holy Ghost descended, in a bodily form, and a voice came, and a voice came from heaven, saying, you are my beloved son, that is the word that came.
[12:12] The first time, heaven spoke over Jesus, for 20, for 30 years, he was walking in town, no voice. No voice.
[12:24] The first time, and that's what I'm telling you, if you are walking with God, you hear from him. That's what we didn't hear about, Jesus doing squat, nothing, because he hasn't heard any voice.
[12:37] Going somewhere. He hasn't, he hadn't heard any voice, so he couldn't do anything. It's true. Luke chapter, sorry, John chapter 5, verse 17.
[12:50] Look at how Jesus himself, in his own words. He said, but Jesus answered, the father has been working until now, and I have been working. Let's go on. We are going to verse 19. You see something.
[13:01] Therefore, the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the Sabbath, but also said that God was his father, making himself equal with God. When you say you are the son of God, you are making yourself equal with God, to a certain extent.
[13:16] Amazing. I will explain that in a minute. Verse 19. Jesus answered, Most assuredly, I say to you, the son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the father do.
[13:27] That's very important. That's the thing I'm talking about today. What he sees the father do. For whatever he does, the son also does in like manner. So, you can't do, if God hasn't done, you can't be doing on his behalf.
[13:44] So, Jesus was not a loose cannon, doing his own thing. He had his own vision. He was pursuing his own agenda. No. No. No. He came to fulfill the agenda of God.
[13:58] So, he said that, he said that, so when, for, for, several years, 30 years is a lot, you know. There are a lot of you here, you are not anywhere, you are 30.
[14:11] 30 years is a lot. In the next 30 years, UK will look very different. London will be very different. the next 30 years.
[14:23] That's why we are here, downloading the word into our spirits. Amen. Because if you don't load your spirit with God's word, London will be at stake.
[14:35] Amen. Satan will dominate the skyline. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Already he's doing that. But he hasn't taken over because we are here. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord.
[14:46] Hallelujah. Oh, come on. Satan knows us. He said, Paul, I know Jesus. He knows us. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He knows us. He's aware. Yes, yes, yes. And unfortunately, he can't do anything.
[14:57] He said, I shut and no one opens. I open and no one shuts. Come on. Come on. No. Satan is not running the show when he comes to the church. Yeah. Indeed. Our church building is not in the hands of the devil. Yes.
[15:07] Yes. He can't stop us. Yes. When the time comes, he said, I open and no one shuts. Yeah. And my shut and no one opens. Yeah. That is right. No.
[15:18] Satan doesn't have an authority over the church. No. He's the head of the body. His body. Jesus is the head. So, don't let us talk like Satan has.
[15:29] He fears us. He says that I will build my church and the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church. There's no defense Satan can put up against the church.
[15:40] His defenses are irrelevant. It's just like building a wall to stop the, what do you call it? Jet fighters or American fighters and troops.
[15:52] No. So now we say, could you have built a wall to keep America out? Because they are coming from, and if you build the wall, the tanker will just drive through the wall. Do you understand what I'm saying? Bridges.
[16:02] They'll blow the bridge out or something else. Yeah. So, what the point I'm making is, Bible says, the defenses of hell, Matthew chapter 16, the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church.
[16:13] You want to say cannot prevail? In other words, it cannot continue standing. Yeah. They built it for a purpose. Yeah. But when we get there, it loses its value. That's right. Okay. It can't prevail. It can't be effective.
[16:25] When we get there. So, Satan does not rule, when it comes to church, when it comes to the bigger world, in John chapter 5, 1st John chapter 5, verse 19, he says, the whole world lies under the sway of the evil one.
[16:40] The world. We know that we are of God, and the whole world lies under the sway of the devil. So, when it comes to the world, the devil is ruling. But wherever we get to in the world, he begins to back off.
[16:54] That's our space. Yeah. We, we, we, so people who must be saved, if we can get up and go, he can't stop us. Yeah. He can't say that this one won't be saved. No, he doesn't have that, that pay grade.
[17:05] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Is that one learning something at all? Yeah. We are believers. Say, I'm a believer. I'm a believer. So, Jesus himself couldn't do anything until a word was spoken from heaven.
[17:20] Come on. To validate him. Mm. To impose him. That's why he could do the miracles. That's why he could do what he did. Then Jesus told us, I'm going somewhere.
[17:32] And Jesus told us in John chapter, chapter 14, verse 12. He says that, the miracles, the things I do, you shall, he said, most assuredly, I say to you, who, oh, come on, believing, you can't neutralize belief.
[17:46] You can't deal with God in unbelief. You can't say, you know, God knows my heart, but even though I don't believe, no, no, please, please forget, forget it, forget it. It doesn't work. It's an oxymoron to say that I stopped breathing, but I'm still living.
[17:58] My heart has stopped beating, and the oxygen has stopped flowing in my body, but I'm still alive. I can go. No, no, you can't. I know you've gone under the sea, you are under the river, and you are deep there, but you went with oxygen.
[18:10] Your goodness is running after me. Oxygen ran. You went with your own oxygen. Goodness and mercy shall follow me. Yeah, that's what it means. That means there may not be goodness, but when I come, I'm bringing my own load of goodness.
[18:22] So, don't rule your life based on what they are telling you. If God said, go, keep going, they will tell you, it doesn't work there, nothing will, don't mind them. They have some facts, but they don't know the superior facts you are operating with.
[18:34] You are operating with higher facts. How can someone die and tell the people that I'm going to rise up or rise up again in three days? How? How can you die?
[18:45] And just say, okay, I'm dying, and then you'll kill me, but I'll come back in three days. No one has ever been, there's only one I remember in history, the name is Kung Fu, Kung Fu Anochi.
[18:58] She said she was going to come back. The Ghanaian Ashantis. They are still waiting for her to come back. No, you can't back.
[19:09] You can't be back. You can't be back. No religion can boast and make claims of their leader being still alive. Wow. No religion.
[19:19] Even Islam, even Islam, the main enemies of Christians, the word of God, even Islam, even Islam believe Jesus is still alive.
[19:33] They can't deny it. Even Islam says Jesus is still alive and he's going to come back. Yeah. Even you check any Islamic, even the dammit Muslim will know that Jesus is alive and he's coming back.
[19:52] So you meet there and say, oh no, Jesus is coming back. Don't worry. Talk about the death. When the heavens was opened on Jesus, the first statement that came, Islam can't take that.
[20:02] What was the first statement? This is my beloved son. That is what the devil doesn't like. If he didn't die, maybe he can come back.
[20:15] But if he died, death earns everyone. Death is a terminator. Everybody gets terminated at death. As long as you're a human being.
[20:27] Hebrew chapter 7 talks about, that's a very funny scripture. Hebrews chapter 7. It says that, the high priest, they could not continue because death didn't permit them.
[20:40] From verse 21. It says, there have been many high priests. There have been many high priests. Why? Because it says that, for they have become priests without an oath. Okay, let's go to verse 22.
[20:53] By someone, this says, but okay, 23 and 24, that's why. Also, there were many priests because they were prevented by death to continue. That's why we had many priests in the Old Testament.
[21:05] Because that's why we have many, when you look at the royal lineage, there are a lot of kings and queens that have come and gone. You can't be a permanent queen. No, our precious queen, one day, maybe in the next 25, 50 years, if God permits, she will have to go.
[21:22] I will be pastor forever. One day, I'll be gone. If Christ tarries, one day, I'll be gone. And some of your children will be the powerful men of God. Amen.
[21:36] So, no human being is permitted to continue because of mortality. So, the high priest, like the way, he said, death prevented them.
[21:49] They were, they were prevented by death. They wanted to continue like an African government. They were, they didn't want to leave their throne.
[22:00] They were, they wanted, but death, excuse me, oh boy, you have to go. Castro, oh boy, you have to go. The other one. No Mugabe. No Mugabe. Oh, no, no, no.
[22:13] Southern America, that guy who died, Venezuela, that was his name again. Hugo Chavez. The power is powerful. I'm surprised he died. I mean, that guy was very powerful.
[22:25] Very powerful person. Even Pope John Paul was loved by everybody, but death could not allow him. Death prevented him. Go back to the text again.
[22:35] There were many. The reason why there were many because death prevented, other than that, they would be like African government. So death prevented, a high priest, they don't return you. You stay till you are there. Okay, go another person.
[22:46] Many of them. But 24 talks about something interesting. But he, because he, oh my God, because Jesus continues forever. Hallelujah.
[23:01] He has an unchangeable priesthood. You can't defend. He's there. He's not going anywhere. He said, nobody has to take, I'm here. He called, I feel like Richard, you know.
[23:13] But he, because he continues forever, he has an unchangeable priesthood. So, so that gives us an advantage.
[23:24] He said, therefore, he's also able, he's able to save fully, to the uttermost. He's not saving only your soul, but he has your spirit. Saving your soul, embody, saving your marriage, saving your job, save, ah, save today.
[23:39] Because he's always there. He won't live for someone to take over a new garment. No wonder, Philippians 1, 6 says that, for he who has, began a good work, kata, tata, tata, shakaya, shall, shall accomplish it, or shall perform it, unto the dead.
[24:01] He hasn't stopped with you. God hasn't finished with you. Amen. Hallelujah. Because he has, an unchangeable priesthood. Now, so, even Islam believes, and knows, that Jesus is alive.
[24:17] And they tell you, he's going to come. I remember when we went to Birmingham, to go and preach, four years ago. Some Muslims. Birmingham has a lot of Muslims. So, politically, politically, if you're a politician, you won't vote, you have to speak that language.
[24:34] So, the worst thing, democracy, with time, is going to begin to bite the worst. God, democracy, is human institution.
[24:49] Okay, I'm not against it. Our time, our freedoms, the freedom of speech, the freedom of religion, is coming after us.
[25:03] Because we are giving freedom to people who don't believe in the freedoms we believe in. But because of our laws, we have to give them the freedom to operate.
[25:13] And their modus operandi, their way of operation, is to attack you. And yet, you have your liberty. So, we have to try and keep changing our laws to contain them.
[25:27] But, you can, you can make laws to accommodate people, but you can make laws to change their hearts. And it's a very difficult thing to fight with someone who wants to die.
[25:39] That's why Christianity is losing grounds, because all the Christians want to live. You are afraid of sacrifice.
[25:54] Any sacrifice that adds to a drop of blood, you say, no, this one, Tafiaka, God forbid. I will not give my blood for anything. My best life now, I have to enjoy life now.
[26:04] Ah, I'm believing God for breakthrough. You want me to sacrifice my life? Some of us should be willing to go to some place for mission work. You must be willing, but you, you love your job.
[26:17] You are like Ephraim. You love your idols. You love, love your idols. Chapter 4, verse 17 of, I even forgot the minor prophets.
[26:33] Uzziah. Yeah, I think one of them. Verse 17. He said, leave Ephraim alone. Ephraim is attached to his idol. Yeah, Hosea 4, 17. Ephraim is joined, attached to his idol.
[26:43] Let him, leave him alone. Some of us, that's what God has said about you in heaven. Leave him alone. He likes his job. He's attached to his boyfriend. He wants to just, all he wants is marriage. Leave her alone.
[26:55] All she wants is marriage. All he wants is, thinking of buying houses. Leave him alone. Because he's good for nothing so long as my kingdom is concerned. Because he's too protective of what his personal interests are.
[27:09] You are attached to her. Some of us, everything about your life is your child. Your child's school. So if we ask you to go to Scotland, because God needs you in Scotland, he said, God forbid.
[27:22] God use somebody else. He said, come on, we can't, hey, hey, hey, God, you get me this house, I'm not moving. I'm free. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, leave Ephraim alone.
[27:34] He's attached to his idols. May heaven not say that about you. You must be in a position, if you're a believer, you must be in a position that Lord, whatever, the song we're singing, your goodness is running, is running after me, the other side.
[27:50] With my life laid down, I surrender, I give you everything. That's what we don't want, Christians. Modern day Christians are so Westerners, materialistic, and all we are looking for is how we can enjoy life to the maximum and everything.
[28:09] We need more, we need cars, we need some powerful cars, more houses, business, big business things. We need this, yeah, yeah, yeah. You know why the West doesn't really like war?
[28:22] Because we have too much material things. You have to attack us. But you see, the Afghanistan, and the Taliban, they don't have a lot. They have nothing to lose, so they will fight. They will fight.
[28:35] They will fight. They will fight. If you are fighting with somebody who doesn't have anything to live for, you have to advise yourself and pull back because they don't have anything to lose.
[28:50] You have so much going for you, so it has really become your biggest setback in serving God. serving God. You have to lay down your life.
[29:02] If you can't lay down your life, you're actually not living a Christian life. Ah! Except a grain of fruit falls to the ground and dies. It abides the loan, but if it dies, it brings forth much fruit or much grain.
[29:16] So, all right, let's get back to the word. So, Jesus was being baptized and the heavens was opened and the Holy Spirit came on him and he couldn't even move because a word must come from God.
[29:38] The voice came from heaven and the voice came from heaven and said, you are my beloved son. That's where Christianity differs from other religions who sometimes claim they also believe the things we believe to a certain extent.
[29:58] And sometimes they want to say, we are all serving the same God. your God has no God and son. Shut up. Thank you. Thank you. It can't be the same God.
[30:11] You describe him as this. I also describe him. Our descriptions look the same, but let's look at their characteristics. He said, yeah, that's the way.
[30:21] Even the Jews were upset with Jesus because you are breaking the Sabbath day. That's a big issue, big issue, but not just that in John chapter 5 verse 18.
[30:33] Not just that. He also called God his father equal to me, which means implications. He said, you are equal to God. That is a bigger problem. Calling God your father.
[30:45] And then he came to teach us that when you pray, say, ah, this guy is spreading this whole thing. You understand why the Jews couldn't stand Christians? Yeah. They couldn't stand because in their law mind and the carnal mindset, a lot of the things that is Christian cannot be.
[31:06] In Matthew chapter 9 verse 2, the Bible says, Jesus look at somebody and he says, son. He says, look at Jesus. He said to the son, be of good cheer. You are seen before.
[31:17] Hey, what's the meaning of that? Who are you? Who gives you a dust? Jesus says, you see, the kingdom operation is very antithetical to the world system.
[31:30] Most of us have come into the kingdom and still applying world system. Listen, I'm about to say something. It's not nice, but let me see.
[31:41] I think it's the truth. So, you are in the kingdom trying to apply world system. It will blow up in your face. It will work. You are looking for your husband because why you came to church.
[31:52] It's not kingdom you are looking for. Husband, God will not give you. He will not give you. He is not a distributor of husbands.
[32:05] You are better of logging on, signing up for dating. It's easier than to come to church and not serve God and come into future.
[32:18] No, it's not for that. God will not be behind it. And the Christian girl will also not follow you. And the Christian man, the one who is following you, this is not a Christian you have got. You didn't get a Christian.
[32:31] You got a churchgoer. Some of you are not happy with me at all. but I'm sorry. I'm very happy you are hearing it and you can understand what I mean.
[32:46] I can't be bothered about whether you like it or not. I mean, I'm glad that God is making you hear these things. And you can't say you didn't know because you'll be judged based on what you have been told. It's too late.
[32:57] You have heard it now. You'll be judged based on what you have been told. Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! So, alright, alright.
[33:10] Can you imagine I have not preached my message? I should have, you know, the introduction, the body, and the conclusion, you know.
[33:24] Exegesis, I should exegesis the word, stand there quietly and what's this guy just walking around and just talking, talking freestyle, talking. Is somebody talking in the west?
[33:50] Are you talking in the west? Please be seated. I am tracking the word.
[34:06] The gentleman, I'm going to make some comments about his, because his testimony fits into what I'm teaching. He said, I need Sunday off. And his joy is that now I can come and sack in the word.
[34:23] That's right. We are talking about Christian. That's a Christian confession. If you're not a Christian, you can't think this way. You can't think the way he's thinking. It's only for Christians to think this way. They come into church.
[34:34] I know, please change their job. I've been doing this for many years. I want to really go to church. And go to a superior, tell them, I'm a child of God, and God wants me to go to church.
[34:50] 15 years. He's only a Christian. I'm just trying to help some of us to have a little idea about what a Christian actually is, or what Christianity is actually about.
[35:03] Because most of us, what we think is Christianity is far from the reality. It's just nominal religion or religious approach. Well, so a word came over Jesus.
[35:15] Holy Ghost came. Heaven's opened. Holy Ghost came. And then a word has to come. So a voice spoke from heaven, and he said, this is my beloved son in whom I am well pleased.
[35:30] Then Bible says that after that, he was 30 years old. That's when he began his ministry. Then they gave his genealogy. So really, you can take out the genealogy and continue from chapter 4, verse 1.
[35:45] And being led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness, where he fasted. Return from the jungle, led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness. And then the next verse says that being tempted 40 days by the devil.
[35:59] In those days, he ate nothing. And we don't know what the temptation entailed. The Bible was silent about it. But the first time the devil spoke to Jesus was to challenge God's word.
[36:11] The first time. Oh, the Bible, yeah. That's why I said you are talking like a devil. The first time the devil spoke in the Bible was to challenge God's word in a twisted fashion.
[36:27] He behaved like, oh, I also know the word, but God said it. How did he know God said it? God spoke to Adam. But how did he know God said it? So they will tell you, I went to, Bermian we were preaching and I said, mostly I think it was an imam.
[36:41] He said, Jesus said, Jesus didn't say bring your Bible. I said, that's not only I could the Bible. He pulled out a Bible from his pocket. Yeah. I said, oh, you have so much time. You've got a Bible too.
[36:56] I will insult myself going, getting a Quran and working. What? I'm too busy and intelligent. There's so much I need to hear from God. Why would I need to be reading from the Quran?
[37:07] Except I'm an expert Christian trying to explain things to him. That's not my assignment. My assignment to teach the word. There are people who are pastors, Christians, but they have to know a bit because of their particular assignment they have.
[37:19] I wouldn't read the Quran for anything. But you have to know what I do. I don't need to know. All I need to know is what God's word says. So all I need to know is God's word.
[37:31] Oh, no. You can't say all you need to know. Listen, listen. I'm not a professional. I'm a preacher. Yeah. Yeah. So you don't have a broad mind. With your broad mind, tell me, show me your results.
[37:43] Yeah. Yeah. I want to draw your attention to something. That for you, the Christian, most of us are operating with a worldly system.
[37:54] Yeah. We use worldly phraseologies constantly. Yeah. And we are very bankrupt on biblical phraseologies. Yeah. Confession of God's word is very rare in our mouth.
[38:09] It's very rare. But when you open your mouth, your terminologies, I can't believe that happened. I can't believe. Sometimes in a day you say, I can't believe about 80 or 20 times. I can't believe that.
[38:19] I can't believe that. Oh, Jesus. I can't believe this. You can't believe. You are called to be a big. Ah. So you see, it doesn't look harmful.
[38:32] But you are programming yourself with certain terminologies. That will not give you an upper hand. Because in Ephesians chapter 4, verse 29, it said, let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth.
[38:48] Some things are not. If you want to see God at work in your life, you got to hear from him. And not just hear from him. Some of us are busy memorizing scriptures.
[38:59] Ha ha. Ha ha. Listen, when you are hungry, it's not the potato, fish and chips menu and the pictures you have in your mind that will work for you.
[39:10] Ha ha. You have memorized the way it looks like. You can draw it any time. Listen, that will not do anything for you. Ha ha.
[39:20] Ha ha. You have all the recipes in your head. Remember, listen, that still doesn't feed you. Hmm. Hmm. So just memorizing the word of God.
[39:32] John 3, 16. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son of God. Who said, John 10, 30. I am my father. I want some 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want Matthew chapter 6, verse 9.
[39:43] That was. And we pray after this man, our father. Who art in heaven, there lobe in thy name. If God be for us. John 1. John chapter 4, verse 4. Sorry. Romans chapter 8, verse 31. If God be for us, who can be against us?
[39:53] Romans chapter 8, verse 28. All things work. We know that all things work together. Romans chapter 8, verse 26. That the spirit himself helps us in our infirmities. Romans chapter 8, verse 16.
[40:05] The spirit bears witness with our spirit. You can be quoting Romans chapter 8, verse 1. There is now therefore no condemnation for those who are joined. Romans chapter 3, verse 26. For the wages of sin is death.
[40:16] And the gift of God is death. All have sinned. So all have sinned. And fallen short of the glory. You can just be quoting and quoting and quoting and quoting. You have memorized scriptures. But we can't see it in your life. We can't see it in your life.
[40:30] Because you are not living scriptures. The word is not for memorization. It's for feeding. This book of the Lord shall not depart at eye of mouth.
[40:46] It works when it's in your mouth. But what is in your mouth is the worldly terminologies. Keep repeating your problems.
[40:59] That this thing is troubling me. This sickness is so bad. Every time I get sick. Every May. I have to be in hospital for three days. Every time it's my birthday. I get sick and I'm so confused.
[41:11] And that's all that is in your mouth. A man shall be satisfied with the good by the fruit of his lips. We have been created to speak.
[41:23] And God has the world or the creation responds to speaking. So Jesus said.
[41:37] I'll come to that just in a minute. But let me just finish that. Son of God. So he went to the wilderness. He went to the wilderness. Satan tempted him. And the first statement Satan made was. If you are the son of God.
[41:51] But can you imagine when he was going to the wilderness. He went with such confidence. Confidence. He was feeling so good. And what would be the point? Wow. I'm the son of God.
[42:03] Hallelujah. I'm the son of God. So you come to church. You hear a word. You go out with the word in your heart. And then Satan comes. He said. The Bible talks about how. The devil comes to steal the word that falls by the rose.
[42:15] Luke chapter 8. Verse 12. Yeah. Verse 12. Verse 12. He says that. Then the devil comes and takes away the word out of your heart. So he came.
[42:26] He did the same thing to Jesus. As soon as God's word comes to you. Satan will try and come and. And he's thinking. You know when a lion wants to catch a rabbit.
[42:38] He's timing. Some of you is already on your phone. He's waiting. When I finish preaching. He's going to find a way of thinking. Someone has sent you a link.
[42:50] To some daguerreization music. Bashment songs. Yeah. Bashment songs are going to come. When we finish. We're sitting in your car. You begin to.
[43:01] Yanga, yanga, yanga, yanga. Yanga, yanga. Satan says. Go ahead. Go ahead. Go ahead. Whilst you are listening. Yanga, yanga. It comes. It steals the word from your heart. And then you are telling me. I've been going to church.
[43:12] I have nothing is happening. You. You. They are stealing the word from you. Wow. Satan's number one target.
[43:25] That's where I started from. His number one target. Is God's word. That's his number one target. If he can get the word out of you.
[43:36] He can do anything with you. So his assignment. His first. His first speaking in the Bible. Was to attack God's word. His first speaking to Jesus.
[43:48] Was to attack God's word. What makes you think that he won't come. He won't use the same trick on you. So. When you hear people saying. As for the Bible.
[43:58] It's men. It's men who read. Ah. You know where this thing is coming from. Yeah. This old time. Devil has started speaking through this person. The person may not be devil.
[44:10] He is not. But Satan is. God. Jesus told Peter. Get behind me. Satan. Peter just said. Jesus. You just said Peter. Thou art blessed.
[44:22] That's the Matthew chapter 16 verse 16. Blessed art thou. Simon by Jonah. For flesh and blood has not revealed these things to you. I'm telling you. You are Simon. You are Peter.
[44:33] And upon this rock I have built my church. And the gates of hell shall not prevail against the church. Whatever you burn on earth is bound. Whatever is loose on earth is loose in heaven.
[44:44] And the Bible says. From that time. Jesus began to teach them. And tell them. How the son of man must go to Jerusalem. Be handed over to the priest. And be killed. And the third day. He will raise. Then Peter takes him aside.
[44:56] And is bound to rebuke him. Then Jesus also reacted back. You can't steal the word from me. And anyone who steals the word. Is an operation. Satan is the one who operates through the person.
[45:08] How do you know Satan is operating through a person? Check the way they attack God's word. One of the acid tests of where the devil is working. Where God's word is attacked.
[45:21] So there are certain churches where Satan works comfortably there. Because the preachers are always attacking the word of God. How can a preacher say that I don't believe in hell? Oh yeah. You are an agent of the devil.
[45:34] Because Jesus spoke about hell more than anybody. Hell is not an Old Testament concept. You don't hear much about hell in the Old Testament. No. What he wants or twice.
[45:45] Even David makes statements like. You don't hear about hell. In the New Testament. Jesus is the one who spoke more about hell than any other person. So if you are a follower of Jesus. You have the audacity to say I don't believe you.
[45:59] You are not a follower. You are a traitor of Jesus. Yes. I hope you are learning something. I'm just helping people.
[46:10] Because we live in a society. I just cannot just come homiletically. I can do esegesis easily. That's my copy anyway. You know the pastor who came and visited us? The apostle.
[46:21] Yeah. I forgot to tell you. The apostle was telling me about. I was telling him that. Because he knew me years ago. You know. He was one of the guys around us years ago.
[46:32] And he forgot it. So. And he was telling me that. You know. I told him that people. A lot of people didn't know. The leaders. You know. They didn't know I could teach.
[46:44] And I even was thinking that. Even my. The spiritual father I served at that time. He knew that I was a powerful praise and worship leader. That can move my city wide crusades. That's for me.
[46:55] But. I. I don't think he possibly knew. If I could teach that. And then the guy made a statement. He was surprised. Oh. Who didn't he know? Because all those of us close to you.
[47:07] We've always known it. You woke me up. I thought people didn't remember. And he said. You were always. Sometimes we are. When we are about to part. We go. We're going to be. About to part.
[47:18] And one thing. Then you open the Bible. You say. Wait. Wait. For one hour. You'll be teaching. See. You see. You see. See. See. He was saying that. And this is. I'm talking about 25 years ago.
[47:28] He said. You always be telling us. And. And. I was telling. If you sit in my car. And you ask one question. I'll pull the Bible. And give it to you. As I'm driving. Open to Matthew chapter 5. And 17. And then we'll be talking. I said.
[47:39] Okay. Look. I just love. We can pack. And for two hours. Just be talking about the Bible. So when it comes to exegesis. Breaking the text. It's actually my hobby.
[47:50] If I started. Oh yeah. In fact. When I was on TV. For. How many years. Pastor Frank. Two years. Or three years. Two years. I was teaching. I was able to.
[48:00] I did. Efficient chapter 1. Chapter 2. Chapter 3. And I couldn't finish chapter 3. Two and a half years. Just. Just. Just.
[48:11] Two and a half years. I was teaching. And my program was Monday. Tuesday. Wednesday. Thursday. Friday. And I couldn't finish. Efficient. So I left TV. And then.
[48:24] In courage. I started Hebrew series. I got to. Chapter 3 or so. Last year. The whole last year. The whole last year. My theme was Revelation. I got to Revelation chapter 3.
[48:37] Even that one. It was just last two weeks. Or three weeks. I finished. We can continue. But I want someone.
[48:48] To know Jesus. And to have a better understanding. Spiritual understanding. Of how things work. It's very important. So let me run it out.
[48:59] God. If you are walking with God. He will speak to you. You can't claim you know God. If you don't hear him. And some of us. Our biggest problem is. We can't hear God. So pastor.
[49:10] You keep talking. On God speaking. I also would like to hear God. How can I hear from. I've thought about it. Ways through which God speaks. Right. And how you. How to know. What is not of God.
[49:21] And I spoke. Significantly. About the fact that. If God is going to speak to you. Actually. I didn't even mention. Dreams. But that is not his favorite means. Of speaking to us. Even though he spoke to Joseph.
[49:32] In dream. Take the boy out. Go and marry. Had he not spoken to Joseph. In a dream. Mary would have. He would have divorced Mary. And Jesus would have grown up. Without a father. And that would have aborted God's plan. Because every person.
[49:44] Needs the presence of a father. It was a very necessary. I hope the man has heard me. This time. So. So. So. So.
[49:54] He spoke to him. In a dream. All right. All right. And. Peter saw in a trance. Acts chapter 10. So God. When he wanted. The. The message.
[50:05] The Christian message. To go to the Gentiles. It was Peter. He went to first. But God had to convince Peter. In a trance. Acts chapter. 10. He saw in a trance.
[50:16] Just before he ate. Sometimes. When you have it. It's in. It's a good state. For God to speak to you. Yeah. Yeah. I mean. In a more. A mellow state. So he spoke to Peter.
[50:28] In a trance. I'm just trying to. Draw attention to. Various means. God has spoken to people. Spoke to Peter. In a trance. He spoke to. He spoke to people. In dreams. All right.
[50:38] He actually told. Miriam. That. If they are prophets. I speak to them. In dreams and visions. But Moses. I speak to him. Face to face. That's even. A theological.
[50:48] Serious thing. Face to face. Because. The Bible. The Bible said. No one sees the face of God. That lives. So. Face to face. That's another. So. God spoke to you. And I told you. God speaks through your conscience.
[50:59] When you are not. When you are not a believer. The only way God can speak to you. Is through your conscience. So. A conscience. Is a warning signal. God has. Inbuilt warning system.
[51:10] In everybody. Which alerts you. What you are doing is wrong. What you are doing is right. But as I told you. Conscience can be seared. Conscience can be damaged. Conscience can be defiled.
[51:20] But. According to. Titus chapter 1 verse 15. So if your conscience is defiled. Then what is even bad. You may think is good. And you are genuine about it. Because you are operating with a defiled conscience.
[51:32] So if you depend just on the conscience. You. You will be stranded sometimes. Because. You may think it's a genuine conscience. But when you become born again. Like Paul said. He says that. My conscience is clear.
[51:43] I do everything to keep a pure conscience. Clean conscience. Void of offense before God. A man. Acts chapter 26. I think verse 14. Or so. So. It is. 24 verse 61.
[51:54] So it's necessary. To have a good conscience. Bible says. The end of the law. Is a good conscience. The end of the law. First Timothy chapter 1 verse 5. It says.
[52:05] The end of the law. Is faith. Out of. Autority. The purpose of the commandment. Is love from a pure heart. From a good conscience.
[52:15] Verse 19 says. That people who have left good conscience. And faith. Have made shipwreck of their faith. Alright. Having faith. And good conscience. Which some having rejected.
[52:27] Concerning the faith. Have suffered shipwreck. So conscience. Is a major aspect of your work with God. It's interesting. How are modern political elites.
[52:39] Are now. Trying to. Vandalize people's conscience. And impose their ideals on people. In spite of conscience. You know. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We. We can't. Circumvance.
[52:50] The conscience is a very important part. Of a humanity. Right. If. We attack people's conscience regularly. We may end up giving them depression. Or mental health challenges.
[53:01] Because the conscience is so inbuilt. It shouldn't be tempered with. We. So. Our conscience is not 100% reliable.
[53:12] Even though God uses conscience to speak to us. When you are a believer. God will use your conscience. And if he wants to convict you of something. He will convict you from your conscience. And your conscience will prick you.
[53:23] Bible talks about in John chapter 8. But. Verse 9. Jesus. After Jesus said. He who is without a sin. Let him throw the first. Cast the first stone. Than those who heard it. Being convicted.
[53:34] How? By their conscience. Jesus spoke. They are not believers. Jesus spoke. They were convicted. By their conscience. So God speaks to us. Through our conscience. But the chief means.
[53:45] God speaks to us. Is his word. Is his word. Now. Everything. Has been written. In his word. Everything. You need to know.
[53:55] About God. Godliness. And direction. You have to go. So long as your work. With God is concerned. How else. Can be traced. Straight into the word. Now. If the word of God.
[54:05] Is not in you. There is no reference point. From. Through which. Or by which God. Can speak to you. So if the word of God. Is not in you. And you don't ask for me. I don't like reading the Bible. I don't like listening to preaching.
[54:17] I just like prophecies. Satan will prophesy to you. Satan will be. Satan will be very happy. Actually he will pay you. He will pay you for.
[54:27] Not liking. That. All right. So. You need the word of God. To constantly. Come into your spirit. So once it comes into your spirit.
[54:38] Man. Watch this. The word of God. I found out. As well. That the word of God. Doesn't only work. In your spirit. It works on your soul. And works in your body. You are a system.
[54:50] You are a human system. So in science. In biology. We are told. There are organs. And there are systems. In the body. There are systems.
[55:02] In the body. Respiratory system. Digestive system. Reproductive system. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Do you understand that? And what. There are five systems.
[55:13] Circulatory system. Circulatory system. Yes. The central nervous system. These are systems. But as a whole. As a human being. You are a system.
[55:24] Made up of a spirit. A soul. And your body. And the word of God. Affects every aspect of your system. But it starts with your spirit. Then the heart of your spirit.
[55:37] You draw. Into your soul. And into your body. Oh. I like it when he says that. Proverbs chapter 4. Verse 20. He said. Give attention to my words.
[55:50] My son. Give attention to my words. Incline your ear to my sayings. That's good. Do not let them depart from your eyes. Keep them in the midst of your heart.
[56:02] Ah. It's coming. For they are alive to. Those who find them in health. The Hebrew word health. Also means medicine. Medicine.
[56:14] You know medication. The word medication is good. There's no amount of word going inside you. So how does it work? If it's medication. How does it work for you?
[56:25] That's where I'm going. How does it work for you? Memorizing is not how it works. You have to meditate it. Let it enter your heart.
[56:36] And then speak it. Speak it. That's exactly what. Come. That's exactly what this guy did. Brothers and sisters. He went to his superior.
[56:47] In UK. Not in Jamaica. Not in Africa. Asia. Or Asia. Somewhere. In United Kingdom. Go to your employer.
[56:58] Your superior. And tell them. Listen. I am a child of God. They will think it's a mental health issue. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Straight away. You will be classified.
[57:09] You will be classified immediately. And you are subjecting yourself to ridicule. That's what most of us are afraid to do. So you are. You stop short of speaking God.
[57:22] You are not speaking. That's why you are not seeing the results. He spoke it. The man said it's not possible. But he has released something that is a governing system of the kingdom of God. It's a governing.
[57:32] We have the governing. We are the governing force. What we speak is what happens for the kingdom. So until you speak. You bring your life.
[57:43] In alignment with what is written. Feed it in your spirit. For it to become the word of God. This is not. This is paper. It's written word of God. If you bend it.
[57:54] You haven't bend the word of God. You haven't bend the word of God. If you put it on your head. You have not put the word of God on your head. Are you getting what I'm saying?
[58:06] The word of God. God. It's a spirit. Jesus said. John 6. John 6. He said. The words that speak are spirit.
[58:18] It's not paper. It's not paper. This is the seven books of Moses. I'm reading. Some people are going to tell you. I'm already reading the psalm. I read my Bible. I read the psalms.
[58:32] So. He. Watch this. He. Spoke out of. Watch this. The depths of his spirit. What he believed. In God's words. And that made him look.
[58:45] Like. A mentally deranged person. In our society. But. Guess what? He spoke it. And the man said. It's not possible.
[58:56] And. I like what he said. He said. I didn't know what to say again. Because. This is the main reason. That. That. So. He didn't have. Any other reason. Apart from God. Some of us. It's only lies. You go.
[59:10] Because you don't believe. In the word of God enough. You are. What proceeds. Out of your mouth. It's not. God's word. And yet.
[59:20] You expect. God. To act. How? Is someone. Get to what I'm saying. Yes. When he shared the testimony.
[59:41] I sat at the back there. And I said. Wow. This is exactly what God showed me. To teach this morning. That if we. Can put the word.
[59:52] In the heart. And from our spirit man. Release the word. From your spirit. As a. Your. It's a conviction. It's not an ideology.
[60:04] Because. And you can't do that. Outside of the spirit. So. The spirit. In your mind. That's why. You don't speak in tongues. I really feel sorry for you. You'll be full of ideas.
[60:16] You'll be full of. When you speak in tongues. You begin to place. A demand. On the spirit man. Once you speak in tongues. It says.
[60:26] That he that speaks. In an unknown tongues. Does not speak to men. First Corinthians. Chapter 14. Verse 2. Does not speak to men. But speaks to God. And he says that. For no man.
[60:37] Understands him. How be it. In the spirit. Inside it. Get into the spirit. And operate from there. As soon as you begin. To speak in tongues. As soon as you enter.
[60:47] As soon as you enter the spirit. And I. You are loaded. In your spirit. Not in your mind. In your spirit. He has given.
[60:59] To us. All things that pertain. To life. And God. Where? It's in your spirit. That's right. That's right. First. That's first. Peter chapter. Seven. Peter chapter. One. Verse three.
[61:09] He has given to us. All things that pertain. To life. All things. That pertain to life. And godliness. Where he has given back. I'm finding. It's there. In your spirit.
[61:22] It's in your spirit. Your marriage. It's in your spirit. Your healing. It's in your spirit. If you are a believer. It has already been given to you.
[61:35] Your success in life. It's in your spirit. It's already given. It's in your spirit. Ephesians chapter one. Verse three. Says that. Blessed be God. And Father of our Lord.
[61:46] Jesus Christ. Who has blessed us. With all spiritual blessings. He has. Not will bless us. He has. Who has? We are already blessed. Shout out and blessed.
[61:57] I'm blessed. You are blessed. And loaded in your spirit. Your advantage is. When you are a believer. Your advantage is. In your spirit.
[62:08] Not your suit. Not your certificate. Not your ability to speak. Your advantage in life. As a believer. Is in your spirit.
[62:20] Oh my God. I feel like preaching this morning. Your healing. Is not. Ah. Is not in the hands of a pastor. Your testimony.
[62:32] Is not in the hands of a preacher. A preacher can not really help you. You know. When Satan is on your case. Your breakthrough.
[62:43] Is not in the hands of a man. If you are a believer. You are already loaded. You are loaded. It's in your spirit. It is there.
[62:53] In your spirit. So when the word of God comes. It finds this way. It's straight into your spirit. And as you.
[63:05] Anytime you speak in tongues. You enter the spirit. You want to hear from God. You want to hear from God. On certain critical matters. You see.
[63:18] There are some Christians. We don't believe in speaking in tongues. Listen. I have been there. And I am here. They have not tested this one. I have tested. Speaking in tongues. I have not spoken in tongues.
[63:29] And I can tell. There is a vast difference. This man you see here. When we went to the camp. He received the Holy Good baptism. No wonder he was able to preach from his spirit. He has been in this church.
[63:39] How long? Four years. Four years. How come. And he has been working on this. How come he didn't do anything about it. Because. He had not received the word from his spirit. That's what Jesus did.
[63:54] Can I show you something. Before I have to end it. But I need to show you this. It's boiling in my. It's shaking in my bones. Hey. Is someone sucking in the word? Now watch this.
[64:06] In Mark chapter 11. Mark. Please keep standing. Because I want to preach with you. Mark chapter. Because we have the living evidence here. My mom used to say. A liar will always tell him.
[64:17] My evidence is at home. My evidence. Evidence. And go to him and say. I'm a son child of God.
[64:27] And he wasn't speaking from his mind. Speaking from his spirit. For he who is joined to the Lord. Mark.
[64:38] I was going to the first Corinthians. But I didn't finish that one. Because he said. If when I. First Corinthians chapter 14. Verse 14. For if I speak in tongues. What happens to me?
[64:48] My spirit prays. What happens to you when you speak in tongues? My spirit prays. So don't mind those people. Who have all kinds of ideas about tongues. Leave them. You want to experience God?
[64:59] Get on. Get on the business. Get on with business. People are filled with all kinds of ideologies and opinions. God is a spirit.
[65:09] If I speak in tongues. My spirit prays. And all your equity in life from God is loaded up in your spirit. Everything you are entitled to in life is already given to you.
[65:22] It's in your spirit. His freedom on Sundays to really serve God was given. It was already in his spirit. But he could not.
[65:34] Cash it out. Unless he has now heard from God in his spirit. Because most people are approaching it from a mental standpoint. So watch this.
[65:47] Mark chapter 11. Verse 11. I'll be ending on this. Is the word of God not sweet? I see you receiving your testimony.
[66:01] I see somebody going out of here and beginning to speak. That says the Lord. And not because you are speaking it from your mind. Because you are speaking it from your spirit.
[66:12] Paul said in Acts chapter 26 verse 19. He said, Oh, can I grip her? I was not disobedient to the heavenly. See, what you have seen in your spirit, no one can convince you otherwise.
[66:25] No one can convince you. As I keep making reference to it. When we had not had a child yet, after five years of marriage, I keep saying that it's not possible for me not to have. Because I've seen my children already.
[66:36] I didn't say I've seen my child. I've seen my children already. I see. We had not children naturally without the intervention of medicine or any medication. No. I'm not saying don't.
[66:50] See it in the spirit. Listen, I was real. You may say, I don't need IVF. I don't need this. But the word has not started in your spirit.
[67:01] Jesus said the son can do nothing. Except you haven't seen the father doing it. So if God hasn't manifested it to you, don't operate because someone said it. That person may be operating with revelation.
[67:14] You'll be operating with information. And you'll be stranded. When you have revelation, you don't need people to convince you.
[67:26] When you have revelation, you are sowing your seed. You don't need anyone to convince you. You just know that this is what you have to do. You know it. And then you can choose to disobey it. But you know you are convinced.
[67:38] The thing is coming from your inner man. Spirit man. Let me show you what Jesus did. It's very interesting. Jesus Christ. Look at verse 11.
[67:49] I think this is sweet. It's sweet. We told you church is boring. Tell me. And Jesus entered into Jerusalem and into the temple when he had looked around about all, about upon all things.
[68:11] And now the eventide was come. He went out unto Bethany with his disciples. Where did he go? Before Bethany. He said he entered Jerusalem. And where did he go?
[68:22] And what did he do at the temple? What did he do? Upon all things. And then when the evening was come.
[68:33] So it looks like the whole day when he went to the temple. He was just looking at the temple. And then when evening came, what did he do? He went out to Bethany. Is it not interesting?
[68:46] Thank you, Jesus. And on the morrow, the following day, when they were come from Bethany, he was hungry. That's when he saw the fig tree. And he said, Hey, you give me food.
[68:58] You are cursed. And Jesus answered, No man shall eat. Verse 15. Verse 15. And they came to Jerusalem. So first verse 11, he came to Jerusalem, went into the temple, and in the evening, he left.
[69:12] The next day, he came to Jerusalem, verse 15, went into the temple, and began to cast out... When he went the first time, didn't he see that?
[69:25] Yes. Didn't he see? He spent a lot of time watching upon everything. But he couldn't do anything. Do you know why?
[69:35] The key is in John chapter 5, verse 19. That's why I told you earlier. The son can do nothing of himself.
[69:48] He couldn't just go and be telling anybody, give me your arm and your arm. He couldn't by himself. So Jesus himself, he went to the temple, he saw what they were doing, they were selling them back.
[70:02] He didn't react. He can't do anything. If there was something, he should have done it then. Can you imagine, you go to your house, or you go out, and someone is trying to open your car, and you can't do anything.
[70:15] No, he said, excuse me, excuse me. Yeah. So, so, Jesus goes to the temple, and if it was his kebab, he should have fucking. Why is it that someone was eating his kebab, and he didn't say anything?
[70:28] Because, he only operates based on certain conditions. That's what I'm trying to draw your attention to. And you have to look for that condition, and operate from that.
[70:40] It will always give you 100% results. So, let's quickly go, but I have to end up. Watch this. Watch this. Is someone learning something? Yes. Mark chapter 11 again.
[70:53] And so, verse 16. And will not suffer that any man should carry any vessel through the temple. He started lashing them, turning them out. Watch this.
[71:03] Let's all read verse 17 together. Let's go. And the end of this.
[71:18] The next verse. Before then, verse 17 again. What did he do? What did he do? After he cleared the thing he taught. Go to the next verse.
[71:30] Read it. Astonish of his teachings.
[71:43] In the temple. The next verse. What happened? So, the whole day he was in the temple teaching.
[71:55] Allow me to teach this thing. But look at the point. Look at the point. I'm ending now. Look at the point. Jesus goes into the temple. He saw everything they were doing.
[72:08] Why did he act? He went, loaded the word of God in his system. He fed himself, fed the spirit with God's word. And when he came back the next day, now the word was the one that taking the actions.
[72:23] So, he cleared the people and then taught, started teaching. And he taught the whole day because his spirit was loaded. with the word. So, he operated from a word loaded spirit.
[72:35] You are talking and there's no word. Empty words, no results. Heaven is not backing what you are saying. If you are a believer, load yourself with the word because all that you need in life is already within your spirit.
[72:49] Now, you have to push, load the word and the more the word goes, the word prepares it and you draw from there. I'm talking, it's not the word you memorize in your mind that makes the difference. The word you speak from your spirit mind is what brings the results.
[73:03] And you can't speak from your spirit mind if you have not heard from God. God speaks. When he speaks, it comes straight into your spirit. The word of God is loaded in your system.
[73:15] Loaded. You will not have, you will have 100% success rate. Because Jesus never had 1% or point, not, not point or whatever.
[73:28] Zero, one. Failure. 100% everything he said happened. Why? Because he was a man full of the word.
[73:41] And he operated from the spirit. You can't operate from your spirit if the word hasn't ended.
[73:52] That's one. And guess what? You can't be a believer or a man or a woman of faith if there's no word for the spirit to use. So the power with which you get things done is called faith.
[74:06] Faith comes when the word has hit you and the spirit has taken over the world. So you are at the mercy of circumstances if you don't operate by faith and you can't operate by faith outside of a word that you have heard.
[74:21] Then when the word hits your spirit the rich deposits in your spirit begins to come out and manifest as you speak it. As you speak it.
[74:32] The Bible said and he looked at the storm in Mark chapter 4 and he said peace be still and they marveled in verse 42 and they marveled and they said what manner of man is this that even the waves and the storms obey him.
[74:48] He spoke he commanded the waves because his spirit was so loaded when he spoke it was like creation. When he spoke and Jesus told us that the things that I do you can do also because the good news is that the Holy Spirit is coming into you he will teach you all things he is the majesty veritatis the only one who can teach the truth he is the master of the truth John chapter 16 verse 13 he said but when he the spirit of truth is come he will guide you into all truth for he will take what is mine and give it to you he speaks of things to come he begins to teach you 1 John chapter 2 verse 20 you have an unction from the holy man only one and you know all things you know it in your spirit something is already deposited in you when the Holy Ghost comes he comes with the information he comes with the directions he comes with the wisdom he comes with the understanding no wonder the Bible says that but we have the mind of Christ you have to begin to operate based on the word from your spirit and then faith and belief is in force and things begin to change things begin to answer to you life begin to answer to you shout yes an unbeliever cannot do this an unbeliever cannot do this someone who is not a son of God cannot do this because your spirit cannot do that somebody
[76:25] God is that's why I quoted that scripture let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth what are you saying thank you sir what are you saying that guy went to his boss and said what the convictions of his spirit they said it can never happen because my job is on the line but he came and said sign it as to what happened we don't know we don't want to know the details we don't want to know the details because where the guy spoke from it only guarantees 100% well thank you Jesus I can go on and on but tonight we're going to continue tonight I will not teach much because tonight we are coming to speak the word we are coming to homologia homologia homologia homologia you are speaking the same thing
[77:32] God has said that has entered your spirit said the son of man can do nothing by himself except that which is seen the father do so he went to the temple he didn't act the thing must be in his spirit first and went and then he came and reacted no one could stop him because when you pray from your spirit based on God's word and faith in God you only have 100% success some of us are wealthy in the spirit some of us are below in the spirit some of us are wonderful husbands in the spirit wonderful wives some of us you are oh you think marriage will never come you don't know listen you're already married it's all provided for you begin stop talking like the world and start talking what the word is saying and believe it believe it believe it some of us we have too many unbelievers telling us ideas about life and about the bible close it sometimes
[78:42] I won't even allow I won't give anybody the privilege to speak into my ears if you don't have the no no something if you are coming to speak against the word of God or my spiritual fathers and spiritual praise I'm not interested don't speak shut up shut up shut up get out of my praise I have to find a nice way of rejoining from your presence because you are a pollutant some of us the TV the pictures we keep watching the images the things we keep listening is what is polluting and choking the word choking the word so the word cannot bring forth fruits hundredfold sixtyfold and thirtyfold we want to pray briefly and say God give me the grace to hear you more to work in faith and obey you how many of you want to pray that prayer I want to pray Lord I want to believe more I want to obey more I want I want to go further in you I want to see your manifestation in my life I want to see your manifestation in my life Lord help me Lord I receive grace
[79:42] I receive grace to start to operate from the spirit please lift up your hands and begin to talk to God Lord help us help us help us to walk in obedience help us to walk closely to you help us to feed more on your word help us to load our system with your word help us help us help us to believe help us to obey help us to move in your direction we thank you Lord thank you Jesus we thank you Lord you said in your word now thanks be to God which always causes us to triumph in Christ Jesus and makes manifest the saver of his knowledge by us in every place we thank you Lord that you said in your word that thanks be to God who always gives us the victory in Christ Jesus Lord we thank you that you always cause us to triumph you always give us the victory thank you
