The Faith That Speaks

[0:00] Thank you for choosing to listen to Reverend Dr. David Engry on The Faith That Speaks. God's servant explains that God doesn't just respond to our crying, but He reacts to our faith. Faith comes by hearing the Word of God, and faith works by the Word of God you speak.

[0:16] As you listen, believe that God is on your side and that it shall be well with you. I want to speak about, this morning, the faith that speaks.

[0:30] The faith that speaks. Have you got anything to say? The faith that speaks.

[0:43] Amen. Amen. Yesterday at the evening prayers, I was sharing about how God is a giver of gifts.

[0:53] God is a giver. So, He gives, I would say He gives us all things freely to enjoy, according to 1 Timothy 6, verse 17.

[1:04] That opening, that text opens with a very interesting, very powerful statement. He said that, warn, He said, warn, command, the same word, King James, I think King James used the word, warn, but command.

[1:21] Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor trust in. The older you grow, the more you realize that riches can be very uncertain.

[1:33] Riches are uncertain. He says, not to trust in uncertain riches. Tell somebody, don't trust in uncertain riches. Don't trust in uncertain riches.

[1:46] Because, now when He said uncertain riches, He's not trying to say some riches are certain and others are not certain. What He's trying to say is that riches by themselves are not certain.

[2:00] So, one of the characteristics of riches is that riches are not certain. So, it's not mean like the ones that are certain. There's no riches that are certain. Apart from the riches in Christ.

[2:13] That one is not material riches. The richness of Christ. So, He says that for Christ, God is rich towards all who call on Him.

[2:25] That riches is certain when you call on Him. But, He said, uncertain every material wealth or material, all material riches are uncertain. So, it is not right to trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God who gives.

[2:46] God is a giver. God is not against you having riches. But, there is a problem when the riches have you. He says that. Who gives us richly all things?

[3:02] Why? Why does He give us all things? Oh, I can't hear. Why does He give us richly all things? So, God is not against enjoyment. God is not against enjoyment.

[3:14] God is not an anti-party God. The highest thing created to bring greatest excitement in life is God who created it. It's not cars. It's not mobile phones.

[3:25] If you take away all other things, the natural thing, even not food, it's nice. But, it's not as... That's the only thing that can ruin a man's destiny.

[3:42] I'm talking about sex. Some of you cannot laugh. So, God gives us all things richly to enjoy. If He gave you a wife, enjoy. If He gave you a husband, enjoy.

[3:55] Enjoy. Enjoy. If He gave you a child, enjoy. Enjoy. He gives us to enjoy. In fact, He created man and puts man in the garden of Eden.

[4:08] Eden means pleasure. Yeah. Wow. But, enjoyment without God is the problem. Because, Satan has a version of enjoyment he will give you to keep you away from the true riches.

[4:21] True enjoyment is with God. The blessing in Proverbs. The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich and it addeth, it adds no sorrow.

[4:35] That's right. So, sorrow is not God's problem. Anything that is bringing you sorrow in life, it is not of God. Even suffering...

[4:47] Listen. The suffering that is making you sorrowful, it is not good. If you claim to be suffering for Christ, suffering for Christ is enjoyable.

[5:03] Suffering for Christ said, I rejoice in my suffering. Colossians 1.24. I rejoice in my suffering for you. So, suffering for God's cause, actually, it's just like pregnancy.

[5:19] Mrs. Kamara. Mrs. Kamara. Come, come, please. Is it burdensome? It's burdensome. It's not every suffering that is sorrowful.

[5:30] It's not every suffering. When a woman is having morning sickness, some of it can be very severe. But really, she's not so worried.

[5:42] The only worry is that I want the baby to be stable. Labor can be intense. So, what I'm trying to say is that if you claim to be suffering for Christ and because of that is showing on your face, it's really not suffering for Christ.

[5:59] What offering are you giving that is making you so morose? It is that offering is not for Christ. No suffering for Christ is sorrowful. Sorrowful.

[6:09] Because God does not like a sorrowful worship. He doesn't accept it. The kind of worship and sacrifice he accepts is a joyful sacrifice.

[6:24] A joyful and a cheerful. He said, because you did not serve me with gladness. Deuteronomy chapter 28 verse 47. Because you did not serve me with gladness, you will serve your enemies.

[6:38] Did you see that? So, gladness. The Bible says God loves a cheerful giver. So, it says, tell them not to put their confidence and trust in uncertain riches.

[6:49] But they should put their confidence and trust in God who gives us all things richly to enjoy. Not endure. To enjoy.

[7:00] May God give you grace to enjoy your marriage. Amen. May God give you grace to enjoy your children. Amen. So, genuine worship. Genuine.

[7:10] This is a good point. Genuine worship is joyful. Genuine worship is joyful. That's why we come and we sing. Those who haven't had encounters with God, they find it difficult to sing unto God.

[7:27] Rejoicing in God is so essential. It's so critical. It's so critical to receiving from God. Some people are praying and praying and not receiving because they are not joyful in God.

[7:42] When you know, when you learn, David said, David was sitting in the wilderness and playing music for God. Lord, I love you. God said, I want this one to be a king of our people.

[7:56] Because he knew how to sing to God. Ephesians says that singing and making melodies in your heart unto the Lord.

[8:08] Ephesians chapter 5 verse 19. He says that speaking to one another in sounds hymn and spiritual soul, singing and making melodies in your heart.

[8:21] So, that party that is godless is where the problem is, but it's not their enjoyment. Do you see the difference? A godless party is a burden to any Christian.

[8:36] Can there be a godless party? Yes. Many. Many. Many. Joyful. Peaceful. Hallelujah. So, it says put your trust in God.

[8:51] Tell someone put your trust in God. Put your trust in God. Because before I go any further, I want to establish the fact that God wants you well.

[9:04] He wants, he means it to be well with you. Amen. Amen. So, if you put your trust in him, keep your trust in him, it shall come to pass. Amen.

[9:15] It shall be well with you. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[9:33] Amen. Amen. gives us all things richly to enjoy. So you have to put your trust in God to continue the supplies. As soon as your trust shifts from God to something else, you stop the continuum or you stop the flow of supply, divine supply.

[9:54] God does not work. Watch this. This is a good point. God does not work because someone is in need. God works because someone is in faith.

[10:08] It's not every step of faith you can explain to people. You just cannot explain to people for them to accept or understand every step of faith.

[10:24] There are people who whose Christianity is predicated on certain moral who are good. So in the morning I'll wake up and come and you are my neighbor.

[10:36] I'll mourn your lawn for you. That kind of Christianity. I'm coming to wash your car for you. Niceness. Niceness. Being nice to people. Many people think that is what God requires of us.

[10:50] You go to hell in spite of that. That means not necessary. It's good. Any common sense even is good. It's just nice to be nice.

[11:03] It's just basic. But salvation is not a function of niceness to people or niceness in life. Salvation is a function of faith in God and in the finished work of Christ.

[11:20] That's what determines salvation. Salvation is a pure function of faith in God. So it says that Ephesians chapter 2 verse 8 it says that for by grace are you saved.

[11:32] How did that happen? Through faith. By grace are you saved. Through faith someone shout faith. Faith. So if God is going to do anything for you or you're going to get anything from God or you're going to have any meaningful relationship with God it's a function of your faith.

[11:51] Your faith is what makes what God has in stock for you happen. So what I'm trying to say is you can behave nice, nice, nice, nice and all that there is to you is about nice behavior but faithlessness you still God is not you're not going anywhere with God.

[12:06] It's first of all starts with faith in God so then if your nice behavior is born on the back of your faith in God then you can say that God is involved.

[12:17] So you are doing it because of your faith in God not because people will see you are a nice person. That is religion. You are joking. God doesn't care.

[12:30] People will be clapping for you and you are still on the elevator going down to hell. They are clapping for you. They are clapping for you. For God so loved the world that he gave whosoever believes.

[12:44] all right so it's important to understand that it takes faith to go any far with God or any further with God. Abraham was a man of faith so he actually is called the father of us all who are of faith.

[13:02] So Galatians chapter 3 it talks I think verse 9 verse 8 and 9 it talks about how so those which be of faith the same are blessed with father children so then those who are of faith are blessed with believing Abraham.

[13:18] So what was unique about Abraham was not his riches was not his niceness was not the fact that he was able to have a child at the age of 100 years was not his ability to fight kings and defeat them.

[13:34] All those things were that was not the unique thing about Abraham. The unique thing about Abraham was his faith. Abraham believed. Now Jacob Isaac was a man of faith.

[13:46] That was said that by faith Isaac by faith Abraham. So and Jacob there's a very interesting thing I want to draw your attention to in Genesis chapter 47 Genesis chapter 47 verse 29 there is a door of favor opening for somebody this way.

[14:05] This first week of October I can sense in my spirit that somebody is receiving a door of favor. The time verse 29 and the time I'm reading from King James and the time drew nigh that Israel must die say Israel must die because everyone who lives dies and he called his son Joseph and said unto him if now I have found grace in thy sight put I pray thee thy hand under my thigh and deal kindly and truly with me bury me not I pray thee in Egypt but I will lie But I will lie with my fathers, and thou shalt carry me out of Egypt.

[14:51] Say, thou shalt carry me out of Egypt. Thou shalt carry me out of Egypt. Would you mind indulging me to talk a little bit about Jacob? I want to talk a little bit about Jacob. Jacob was an interesting man.

[15:03] He was, from the time he arrived from his mother's womb, he knew how to get things done by himself. So when he was being born, when he was in the womb, he was fighting to be the first, to be the first, to be the first.

[15:17] And when they were born, he was holding the heel of his brother. He knew how to get this done. So he managed to get the blessing from his father. He ran away from his brother.

[15:28] He went to his uncle Laban. He went to his uncle Laban. And his uncle Laban said, you, I'm a tight guy. I will show you where power lies. He said, I'm going to marry.

[15:39] He said, I'll marry Rachel. Laban said, you are joking. When, after seven years, he thought seven years was too long for Jacob to accept. He said, no problem. I'll work for seven years.

[15:50] After seven years, he tricked him and gave him Leah. And then he said, I'll show another seven years. He said, I'll work. He managed. So he knew how to get things. But after all that he's gotten all his children, he left his uncle.

[16:03] And he was able to outsmart his uncle. His uncle's business was not doing well. His business was flourishing. Even though his uncle set him up to fail, change his wages ten times. Can you imagine?

[16:16] They change your wages ten times. They say, okay, we have signed a contract. You'll be paid 5,000 pounds a month. After the first month, they say, we think it's too much. So they change it to 4,500.

[16:27] And then after that one, they say, no, I think you're getting too much. They change it to 4,000. May that not be your story? Yes! So he was working with such a crook.

[16:38] But he was able to get more money than a crook. So that's Jacob. Jacob knew how to get things done. And then so when he left Laban, he was going to meet his brother.

[16:50] And he was told his brother was coming with an army to come and attack him. He was afraid. He said, okay, let me strategize. He divided the team. Half go here. Half come here. Half come here. If they kill this one, this one's will.

[17:00] If they kill this one. So Jacob knew how. He didn't pray about it. Then after he drove everybody, then he went to God to go and pray. God said, you, you are too strong. God said, you are too strong.

[17:14] God said, you are too strong. So as he fought with God, God said, you are too strong. And God, the strongest part, joints in your body is here. And so God said, you are too strong.

[17:25] And God gave him a blow and disconnected the place. And God said, your human strength is too much. I want to let you know how to walk, move forward depending on something.

[17:37] So thank you, sir. Please clap for pastor. So from that time, Genesis chapter 32, verse 31. From that time, he was always walking.

[17:48] And as he passed over Penwell, the sun arose upon him and he halted. Well, in other translations, he said, he limped.

[18:00] He was limping. What happened? I met God. I had an encounter. Hey! And I thought God is a God of healing. Yeah, this is why he actually had to me.

[18:10] He didn't even... Because sometimes it's good. God will just have to deal with something in your life so you can let... You are forced to look after him. If he wants to take you further.

[18:23] But if he's not going anywhere with you, he'll just leave you. But if he's going somewhere with you, he'll try. So Jacob was dislocated. And then guess what? His son he loved was taken away from him. What's happening to Jacob?

[18:34] The wife he worked for 14 years died. After he died, his son was taken away from him. Then famine comes. Ah! What's happening to Jacob? God was taking away all his human strength.

[18:45] And guess what? Now, before he died, this man was so much full of God that he had to... He knew how to just depend on God and be a blessing to him.

[18:58] I thought that would have been enough. You know, it wasn't enough. God was... God wanted to kill him completely. So, yeah.

[19:11] Tell me if you didn't notice what we read. Genesis chapter 47, verse 29. Look at this. Is there when the time due near for Israel to die? He had to die.

[19:22] He must die. But do you know there was still work to be done? What was the work? No, no, no, no. It's in the text. Now he had to depend on someone to do it for him.

[19:34] Please, kindly and truly... Deal kindly and truly. Put your hand under my tie. That's where God hit him. He has learned how not to depend on strength.

[19:45] Now, where God has hit me and I believe you, put your hand there. Which is a sign that I have learned how to depend on God. And vow to me that you will deal kindly with me and truly with me. Please, do not bury me in Egypt.

[19:59] When I die, something still needs to be done. But I want to... How many of you know Joseph was a type of Jesus? Joseph was representing grace. So now he had to depend on the grace of God for his future.

[20:14] So he called Joseph, not his other sons. Joseph, who was a type of Christ, please, I commit my future into your hands. When I die, make sure I'm not...

[20:24] Because now, God has brought me to a place where I can't do anything for myself again. But depend on the grace of God to do it for me. So, Jacob learned how to depend on grace.

[20:41] So when he was about to die... Right. Go to the next verse. The last verse. The last verse. And he says that... Then he said, swear to me that... So Israel bowed... So Israel bowed himself on the head of the bed.

[20:58] When he brought Jacob to give him the instruction. And the next verse says that when he heard that Jacob was coming with his sons, he managed to gather himself. But he bowed himself on the head of the bed.

[21:12] Because he was dying. The guy was going. Our energy was going. But according to Hebrews, this act was... He leaned on his staff.

[21:25] So Hebrews chapter 11, verse 21. Hebrews 11, 21. Let's all read the Allah from the screen. Let's go. Some of you are not reading it.

[21:35] Let's all read, please. I have faith in the Lord when he was dying. Let's teach all the sons of Jesus. And worshiping, leaning on the top of the staff. Leaning on the top of the staff.

[21:47] The staff he had to depend on. It said... So by saying... It said, God is my shepherd. Actually, he said it in chapter 48, verse 15. That God is my shepherd. So leaning on the staff.

[21:58] Depending on God who has been keeping me. Guiding me in all my journey. By faith... This is where I want to draw attention to. Let me go. By faith... When he was dying...

[22:09] Blessed. Each of Joseph's sons. End. And what? Worship. I can't hear you. Worship. And what? Worship. What faith was singing when he worshipped?

[22:22] By faith... When he was dying, he still was worshipping. He wasn't saying... Ow. Ow. Ow. Oh, God. Why? He was singing.

[22:33] He was singing. I love you, Lord. Jacob. I love you. I love you. Jacob. Jacob, by faith... When he was dying, he was worshipping. Some people...

[22:45] If they clamp their car, they say, I won't go to church. I... Some people say... You don't know what I'm going through.

[22:58] Because we really don't have to know. You... You... Who are saying you don't know what I'm going through. The one you are telling... Do you know what they are going through?

[23:09] I'm telling you. Do you know what they are going through? You are bleeding. Your little toe has... It's just broken or cut and bleeding.

[23:22] So you are in A&E. But somebody has been in hospital for three weeks. And the doctor said they can't trace their blood. They don't know what's going on.

[23:34] So you are bleeding. So you think yours is very... A&E doesn't mean your situation is that bad, though. It's just an emergency. There are people.

[23:48] There may not be intensive care. Or they may even be working. Going home and coming. But the doctor said what we have seen... We have to do different tests.

[23:58] Because likely you have six weeks to leave. And they are going and coming. Because you are in emergency, everything must stop. You are telling me, you don't know my life. I've just got my life. Oh, crap. Jacob worshipped, leaning on the staff.

[24:16] Worshipped, leaning on the staff. Didn't he have energy again? But he was still worshipping. That's a true worshipper. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. By faith. You can't do anything for God without faith.

[24:28] If you attempt to do anything for God without faith, you will be stopped somewhere on the way. Because Satan will supervise your...

[24:39] Your Brexit. Your Brexit. Just let me make sure you continue. So, if you want to do anything for God, first of all, have faith in God.

[24:54] Faith in God. And or not, you'll be tired. Some of us complain too much. We have to add complaint to your name. Oh. I want me to tell you something.

[25:07] Someone shout faith. Faith. All right. Let's go into the faith that speaks. So, faith is so essential with how God can deal with you. There are two people I want to draw your attention to in Matthew chapter 8.

[25:23] One... This has a response to these people. One was... The response was in Matthew 8.13. Matthew 8.13. Two categories of people.

[25:36] Matthew 8.13, Jesus... Then Jesus said to the centurion, Go your way as you have believed, so let it be done for you.

[25:49] And his servant was healed that same hour. Jesus said, Go your way as you have believed, let it be done. Kind of. Oh, stop patting on the back. Well done.

[26:00] You've got it. All right. How about verse 26? 13 times two. Yes. But he said to them, Why are you so fearful? Why are you fearful?

[26:10] Oh, you of little faith. Then he arose and rebuked the winds and the seas. And there was a great camp. So, what did... What did these people do for Jesus to say to one...

[26:26] Well done. Let it be. And for him to say to the other one, What's wrong with you? Because they must have done something before. Yeah. So, Jesus' response. And as I was checking, I realized that it wasn't so much what they did.

[26:42] Let's look at the verse before this one. 25. Then his disciples came to him and awoke him. So, Pastor Philly, come and awake me.

[26:54] Please. So, Jesus was resting on the boat. I can use this one, isn't it? Yes. He was resting. He was in the boat resting. That boat must be comfortable.

[27:07] On the pillow. I'm telling you. And then there was a storm. And he was still asleep. That place would be very comfortable. So, he was still asleep. Wake me.

[27:17] Wake me. Wake me. Master. Master. Care is not that we die. And then he woke up. You think that's all they did? No. And what did they do again?

[27:30] So, they woke him up. Why did they have to wake him up? Sorry? To a die. Why did they have to wake him up? No.

[27:41] They woke him up and did something to him. They woke him up. So, when he woke up, what's wrong? And then they said. What did they say? Why should I save you?

[27:55] Hey. So, they said we are dying. That was the key thing. It wasn't the waking up. Because you can wake someone up to eat. Don't you? You can wake someone up to watch.

[28:07] Oh, watch that movie. You can wake. This one day woke him up to tell him something. And you know what they said? Hey! We are dying! Hey!

[28:19] Hey! Hey! Hey! Jesus said. Why are you so fearful?

[28:30] So, they didn't just say. Some of you think God come this way. Master. Master. Master. We are. It looks like we have perished. No, no, no. That's not fear.

[28:41] Yeah. Master! We are perishing! Very erratic. Very erratic. I hope your seat is okay. It's not right. Now, let's look at the other gentleman.

[28:55] Chapter. Verse 8. Verse 8. The centurion answered and said. Jesus said, I'm coming home. He said to Jesus, Lord, I am not worthy that you should come to under my roof.

[29:08] But only speak a word and my servant shall be healed. What? The next verse. For I'm under authority. I'm a man under authority. I say to this one, go and this one.

[29:19] Okay. Go to the next verse. Let me show you something. When Jesus heard it, he marveled and said to those who follow. As surely I say unto you, I have not found such great faith.

[29:32] Now, what was his faith? Faith. Faith. Faith. Faith. What was the manifestation of the faith? Just what he said. Just what he said. Just what he said. These other guys, they woke him up and said.

[29:43] Right. And then when this guy said, those guys said, and he parted this guy for what he said. Right. And Jesus said, this is faith. Yeah, right. He said, I'm not worthy.

[29:54] Jesus, I said, I said, when Jesus said, I said to you, I said to you, I have not found such what? Faith. What has the man done? What he said was manifestation of faith.

[30:06] Okay. Faith will always speak. Faith will always speak. Always. You want to know who has faith? Watch what they are saying. Listen to people when they talk.

[30:18] That will tell you what faith they have. So when they spoke, Jesus said, ha? You said that? There's faith. Jesus saw their faith. I've never seen.

[30:30] How do you see their faith? They're talking. They're talking. And he said, well, let it be done unto you as you have believed. And the miracle happened instantly.

[30:41] Yeah. While the other guy, he said, you guys, what's wrong with you? And he got up to do it. He rebuked their stuff. Not because of their faith.

[30:52] Faith will speak. Listen. Faith is not just wishing. Right. I'm hoping. Let me try. No. Listen. Who?

[31:03] Who? Who? Who? Who? Who? Hey. Romans, that thing is coming. How much time have I got? 20, 15 minutes? 20. Let me just. Because somebody's faith must come alive.

[31:14] Listen. If your faith comes alive, Satan is losing. Yes. The only thing Satan can use against you is your unbelief. Yes. It's a serious statement I just made.

[31:26] The only thing Satan can use against you and make it work against you is your unbelief. Amen. Oh, how about the bad things I've done?

[31:37] I said your unbelief. Hmm. Hmm. Your unbelief. Your bad things, most of them are a function of your unbelief. If I'm not supposed to be eating this and I eat it, that means that they tell me don't eat this.

[31:54] If I believe that I'm not eating this, I'll still be okay. I won't eat it. But I thought that I have to eat this to be okay. I'm not supposed to eat it, but I have to eat it to be okay. So my focus is being okay.

[32:07] Not just the eating. Yeah. What I get when I eat. The results of my actions is what my focus on, not just the action. If you let that man go, no one will marry you.

[32:18] But I know God said that I can't be in a bad relationship. Right. Ah, but God, you know, God, you should understand. Just touch his heart for me. Wow. Thank you.

[32:30] He is removing your heart. You are also saying God touch his heart. So, faith. Now, in Romans chapter 10, verse 8.

[32:46] I think I would like us to read this from the screen. Verse 8. Let's all go. Let's read it. Let's go. Have faith in God. Have faith in God.

[32:57] Romans chapter 10, verse number 8. It would be nice if you all stayed there.

[33:07] So, just open your Bibles. Are you there? Yes. Let's all read from our Bibles or whatever.

[33:18] Let's go. For what? Say. The word is nighly. In your mouth. In your heart. In your heart. The word of faith which we preach. So, there, there, it says, he calls it the word of faith.

[33:32] Say the word of faith. The word of faith. Say the word of faith. The word of faith. Faith is word related. Hmm. So, how does faith come?

[33:43] Verse 17 on this. How does faith come? By hearing. How does faith come? By hearing. Let's go. Let's go. Louder again.

[33:59] Some of you are not reading. Why? Let's read it all together. Let's go. Henry. By the word of God.

[34:09] So, that's how faith comes. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. Faith works by speaking the word you have heard. Faith comes by hearing.

[34:20] Faith works by speaking. So in the verse 8, he said, what does it say? The word, what does it say? The word is near you.

[34:32] Where? In your mouth and in your heart. That is the word of faith which we preach. That if you, verse 9, that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart.

[34:45] What he's trying to say is that whatever you are saying, for it to be genuine faith, must resonate and agree with what is in your heart. You can't be having something in your heart and saying something else and say that's faith.

[34:58] No, faith is not just mere talk. It is heart talk. It's coming from the heart based on the word that has entered the heart. So when you believe in God's word, from your heart you speak the word you have believed.

[35:12] That is faith. And faith, heaven respects faith. This is what my mother didn't tell me.

[35:25] My mother was always going to church. So I grew up in church environment. And my mother, very religious, very good. But what she didn't tell me is that, and because she didn't know, that God does not respond just to crying.

[35:42] He reacts to faith. Instead of crying, you can faith. And God react. Oh God, look at my situation. Do you know where God will be moving most if he reacts to crying and need?

[35:58] Somalia. Somalia. And the other place. Where is it? Well, near Africa. The Horn of Africa. That place. No, no, no, no.

[36:08] Oh, this Saudi Arabia and people are fighting there. Yemen. Yemen. Yemen. Yemen. God will be moving in Yemen very well. Because people are in need.

[36:20] Yeah. Cholera. Cholera outbreak. Seriously. So that is why people say, if there is God, why are people suffering? If you want to start with that, the sufferings you have caused, you have a former girlfriend, see what you did to her.

[36:36] You should ask that question first. And if there God, God, strike me, let me have a liver disease if you are dead. The way I've treated, I've not treated this girl. Some girlfriends would like that, didn't they?

[36:49] Ex-girlfriends. The way I've treated, I've treated this woman. The way I've treated this stepdaughter. You've forgotten about all that.

[37:01] And you have the unmitigated, unashamed, or that's it to say, if there is God, why are people suffering? But you have caused a lot of people suffering. You have participated in creating a lot of suffering for people.

[37:14] When you are changing the figures, people are buying from you and you are selling the right thing. You go and buy it from China and you pretend it is from Germany.

[37:25] You should be the last person to come and ask, if there is God, why are people suffering? You should be asking, if there is God, why hasn't he killed me and I'm causing people suffering?

[37:39] If you are a man, I ask that question. You are working in the city. Changing figures and affecting people's lives.

[37:51] Smoking all kinds of time and taking Coke. And you have the audacity to say, if there is God, all this crap, if there is God. That's your pomposity.

[38:02] God doesn't owe you any proof. You would die to find out and realize that God is real. You are just proud. And God has not had time for you.

[38:15] He has reserved a certain day. He will deal with you. But the truth is, God reacts to faith, not to suffering.

[38:30] Remember that. Remember that. God reacts to faith, not to suffering. Because there are people who suffer just like everybody.

[38:44] But God doesn't do anything. But you do it for some other people who have faith. I pray that you grow in faith. Now, for your faith to work, it must be a speaking faith.

[38:58] According to 2 Corinthians 4, verse 13, it says that as it is written, I believe that we, oh my God. And since we have the same spirit of faith.

[39:10] Someone say spirit of faith. Spirit of faith. Shout spirit of faith. Spirit of faith. Shout spirit of faith. Spirit of faith. Faith is a spirit. It's a spirit.

[39:22] It's not some mental exercise. Positive thinking. You know there's a difference between boldness and bold face. Yes. Some people have bold face.

[39:36] They have bold face. They look very formidable. So they hear there is a rat. Boldness is different from bold face.

[39:50] It is necessary to understand that God reacts to faith. Faith is the spirit. It's not some mental exercise.

[40:06] Faith comes by hearing. See, the one, that's why you must be concerned about pastors who don't preach from the Bible. They are killing people. Yeah.

[40:16] Yeah. That's true. Yeah. Because, you see, God can't help anyone without God's word. So a pastor must be a master of God's word.

[40:27] A pastor, master, God's word. Yeah. To a certain dimension. So when you open your mouth and you speak to people, it is God's word you are speaking to them.

[40:38] So that when the word hits them, it hits their heart. Faith can be born. And then when faith is born, God can be manifested.

[40:48] Yeah. But that pastor who wants you to believe that me, I am the one who is God's assistant. Faith can be born. You just, anything I say, that's it.

[40:59] Come, I'll pray for you. Come, I'll pray. We are managing to raise people who don't have a relationship with God, but just depending on a certain man of God for their lifestyle.

[41:12] Or for their godly supplies. It is not Christianity. No. At all. We need to teach faith. Because faith comes by, according to Romans chapter 10, verse 17, faith comes by hearing of the word of God.

[41:30] We need to preach the word. Say preach the word. Preach the word.

[41:41] The word must be preached for someone to have something to say. Because, oh, according to John chapter 6, verse 63, Jesus said, the words that I speak to you, they are spirits and they are life. And faith is a spirit.

[41:53] The spirit of faith. So for you to have faith, you must have it from God's word because the word is a spirit. So he said, we, as it's written, 2 Corinthians chapter 4, verse 13, as it's written, we have the spirit.

[42:09] Since it has, we have the same spirit of faith, according as it's written, I believe, therefore, I spoke. I believed, therefore, I spoke. We also believe and therefore, speak.

[42:22] We have entered a glorious month. Amen. The last three months of this year, you have to reign through speaking.

[42:32] Amen. I came to give you the master key for having authority and audacity. Reign through speaking, but don't just speak your wishes.

[42:45] Speak his word, which you believe. And sometimes conditions may be difficult. Conditions may be contrary. But don't change your confession. Keep speaking the word. Keep speaking the word.

[42:56] Keep speaking the word. Keep speaking the word. Your child is failing, but keep speaking the word. The child, the seed of the righteous is blessed. The seed of the righteous is blessed.

[43:07] You are in pain. Keep speaking the word. The word is my healer. The word is my healer. The word is my healer. The word is my healer. You feel, you feel that situations are so bad in your health.

[43:19] Sometimes, how many of you know, sometimes you can feel so bad in your health. You know the devil is telling you, you're about to die. You're about to die. You're about to die. You have to be able to look at death in the faith or the trust of death and declare, I shall not die.

[43:33] But I will live to declare the works of the Lord. I shall not die. Speak it out. Speak it out. Speak it out. Speak it out.

[43:46] Come on. Come on. Don't remain silent. Come on, God. Speak it out. Come on. Speak it out. Speak it out. Speak it out. Don't say God knows what is in my heart.

[43:58] He said it's in the heart and it's in the mouth. Faith that saves is the faith that is coming from the heart and showing up in the mouth. You got to speak out.

[44:10] I want to, I want to debunk that fake Christianity people have believed. You have to take responsibility with your work with God. Abraham worked with God.

[44:22] Oh, my. You know, my. They worked with God. When Abraham was sending his servant to go and get a wife for his son, Isaac. Yeah. He said, when you go, Genesis chapter 24 verse 40.

[44:35] He said, my master told me when I come. He said, how would I know? He said, go because the God, he said that the Lord before whom I walk. God has, Abraham has been walking before God.

[44:51] So he sent his servant, go and get a wife for my son. The servant was saying, how can I get it? He said, don't go. Don't worry. The God before whom I walk. Walk before God and begin to speak out.

[45:04] Begin to. Some of us, we don't have confidence in God. That's why he's showing in your talking. You have more confidence in the doctor. You have more confidence in the government.

[45:14] You have more confidence in the report. You have more confidence in the economic situation. But if you can have confidence in God. What I'm trying to say is don't say me, I believe and be quiet.

[45:30] Hey, don't do that. Speak what you believe. Speak what you believe. Speak what you believe. Speak what you believe. Yes.

[45:42] Yes. Speak what you believe. Because when you believe what God has said and you speak it, you are releasing God's creative power.

[45:53] So it doesn't matter what is not there. As you speak. Let me show you Jesus how Jesus did it. And I will close. Are you interested in knowing what Jesus did? In Mark chapter 11, verse 17.

[46:04] Then, Mark 11, verse 17.

[46:23] Go to the next verse. Verse 18. And then, let's grab some cheese. All right. Let's go to the 19. I want to show you this. I should have started before. When evening I come, it went out of the city.

[46:35] Okay. The next verse. And now, in the morning, as the... Okay. Keep it from 15 so that it can make sense. Okay. Go to 15. So they came to Jerusalem. Then Jesus went into the temple and began to drive out demons.

[46:47] I like that bit. Yeah. I like that bit. It's nice to drive out demons. Yeah. Yeah. It's nice to drive out demons.

[46:59] Listen. If you're a Christian and you move to a new home, don't be afraid. Yes, sir. Pray about the place. Drop out demons. Yeah. They say it's a haunted home. But you have also come to haunt it.

[47:10] Yeah. I want to haunt it. I want to haunt it. I want to haunt it. You haunt it. You haunt it for a house. Yeah. And then you found the house. They say it's a haunted home.

[47:21] And so what? I want to haunt it. I want to haunt it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm telling you. We have too many faithless believers. Yes. Believe God.

[47:31] You watch your marriage is going down and you won't speak. I'm not saying go to a counselor. Speak out what God has said. Yeah. And back it with your behavior.

[47:42] I'm sorry. Yeah. Yeah. Because some of us... All right. I began to cast out those who...

[47:57] The next verse. Verse 16. And it will not allow... All right. Okay. I think it's verse 11 I'm looking for. I'm sorry. Verse 11. And Jesus went to Jerusalem.

[48:08] Is it verse 11? Yeah. Yeah. So when... I already... Okay. Okay. Go to the next verse. Verse 12. Now the next day when he had come out of Bethany, he was hungry. This is what I was looking for.

[48:19] He was hungry. He was hungry. Go to the next verse. And seen from afar a fig tree having leaves. That tree had leaves.

[48:31] Yeah. Okay. Which was very promising. He came to the... And when he... And went to see if perhaps he would find something on it because he was hungry.

[48:43] When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves. Right. For it was not the season for figs. I don't entertain excuses. Wow.

[48:54] I am hungry. There must be delivery. Jesus Christ does not take fruitlessness lightly. No. Listen to me. Listen. I want to say this.

[49:05] Let me look at your eye directly. Hey. Listen. Listen. For those of you whose credential, Christian credentials has been...

[49:21] Me. I have been a Christian for a long time. Please. Please. With God. It's not the longevity. Methuselah activities.

[49:32] Methuselah doesn't count. Yeah. It's Enoch who counts. Yes. What do I mean? You have been in church.

[49:43] You are making... Sometimes people, they say, oh, but I talk to Christianity. Yep. And you want to use your longevity to intimidate my fruitfulness. Yes. Yes. Yes.

[49:53] Yes. In Christianity, it is fruitfulness that counts, not longevity. Some of us, we are not useful in the hands of God at all. I challenge you.

[50:05] What have you done to add to the church? No, but you know, no. I've been with... I've been claiming my neighbor's lawn. Anybody at all can do that. Jesus didn't die for your neighbor's lawn.

[50:16] Yes. Lawn or garden. Jesus died for the church. Ephesians chapter 5. He died for the church. And what you do for the church is what he counts.

[50:28] He said, he wants you to be fruitful. I am happy to challenge you. on the fact of your Christian fruitfulness. Stop making noise about how long you have been in church and start concentrating on how fruitful you are in church.

[50:47] Oh, you are not receiving it. I'll say it even louder then. Pastor, I'm not happy about what you said.

[50:58] I'll even say it louder. You, you are useless if you are fruitless. Useless in the...

[51:09] You don't like it. I'll say it again. You are useless in the hands of God if you are fruitless in the church. Yes. Yes. I'm not expecting everybody to clap.

[51:20] But how... How... Tell him what he said. How can you be saying these things? People have left their homes. They want to hear the word of God.

[51:32] Yes, that's the word of God. That's why I can't toy. Because I'm not a politician. I'm not looking for votes. No. I'm working so that when you get to heaven, you are happy.

[51:44] Yes. Because your car will not follow you to heaven. Your house, your nice shoe, you came to church with such a nice shoe, nice hairstyle, but you are fruitless.

[51:57] Ah! Ah! You have been born against a big yes now. And we can't see, you can't count any fruit you have left in God's house. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.

[52:07] Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Barrenness. No! He blessed them and said, be fruitful and multiply. Yes! The blessing of God is for fruitfulness.

[52:19] Yes! Come on. Pastor, because of my lifestyle and when I don't... Hey! You better find time. If you are so busy, you can't even feed your children.

[52:31] You are too busy. Yeah. That's the wrong thing. There must be balance. Yes. What kind of work is it that doesn't give you opportunity to breathe? Ah! It's fine! It's a simple.

[52:43] You? Yes, thank you. It's a shackle. It's not a job. It's bondage. It's slavery. Enslavement. You are a slave to money. Right. No. Sir, there are so many people on the streets of London.

[52:56] Yeah. So many. Go to Victoria. Monday morning. Yeah. Tuesday morning. Yeah. On the tube. So many. Slaves of money. Yes. There's no allowance for God in their life.

[53:09] No. Let's see. And there are people who are Christians and they claim to be Christians and there's practically no allowance for God in their lives apart from Sunday morning.

[53:20] And even when they come, we must sing the song they like. Yeah. We must preach the message they want to hear. Yeah. We must play the tune they want to hear.

[53:31] Yeah. Yeah. Everything must be done to make them happy as though they have gone to and so they have gone to a theater. A show.

[53:46] That is the pornographic concept of Christianity. Hey. You are preaching. What is your enjoyment? Yes. You are just watching for enjoyment but you are not participating.

[53:58] Pornography, that's how it is. Yeah. But God wants you to be involved. Yes. Get involved. Get involved. God said, come, come. Let's reason together. Let's do it together.

[54:11] No more encouragement for pornographic Christianity. Amen. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Please.

[54:25] I told you. I, you know what I'm happy about? I'm happy God has given me the audacity. When I was going to preach, I knew God told me, today I'm going to speak to the world.

[54:38] Yeah. So you think it's about you. It's about God and God's plan for human beings. Amen. Be fruitful. You have, you have been called to be fruitful.

[54:51] John chapter 15. It said, you did not call me. I called you. John 15, 16. I called you to bear fruit that your fruits will remain. Your fruits will remain.

[55:04] I said the other time, in the book, Synoptic Gospels, theologians called Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. There is no way. God, Jesus told them, Matthew, Mark, and Luke. He said, go and preach, preach, preach, preach.

[55:15] But in John, in John, he never told them to go and preach. He never said preach. He said, be fruitful, be fruitful, be fruitful, be fruitful. So Jesus, Bible says, when God created man in his image and his likeness, and Bible says in Genesis chapter 1, verse 28, and when God created them, then God blessed them, and God said, be fruitful and multiply.

[55:41] Be fruitful. Does someone be fruitful? Be fruitful. Fruitful. Not making money. It's good, because you need money to live on earth.

[55:53] But after that, what next? God is going to judge us based on what we did so long as his assignment for our lives are concerned.

[56:07] Be fruitful. Jesus came to the fig tree and he didn't see tree. He said, hey, how dare you tell me, oh. And seeing the fig tree came, and when he came, he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not there.

[56:25] Verse 14. Verse 14. In response, Jesus responded to the tree. Wow. He responds to fruitlessness. Jesus responded to the tree and said to it, let no one eat fruit from you ever again.

[56:43] Wow. And the disciples heard it. Then verse 20. So let no one eat anything again. Now in the morning, as they passed, they saw the fig tree had dried up to the roots.

[56:55] Within 24 hours, it has dried to the roots. And then Peter said, Master, Master, look, the tree you cast, Peter said, remembering, said to him, Rabbi, look, the fig tree which you cast has withered away.

[57:12] The fig tree has, the fig tree has withered away. And you know what Jesus said? He said, have faith in God. Is it why, what he did to that fig tree, do you know why he did that?

[57:29] Because of you and I to teach us a lesson. That was the lesson. First, have faith in God. And when you have faith in God, you know what happens. Go to the verse 23. Let's all read verse 22 together.

[57:41] Verse 22, 22, 22. Let's read. So Jesus, Master, said to them, have faith in God. Again, have faith in God. One more time.

[57:51] Have faith in God. Say it. Have faith in God. Lower down. Have faith in God. Now, we are going to do it this way. Lift up your right hand and say, I have faith in God.

[58:03] I have faith in God. Say it again. I have faith in God. So, when you have faith in God, men, in God, men don't determine your destiny.

[58:14] Right. Yeah. And you know, it's, it's not God per se. It's your faith. Jesus said, be it unto you. So, Jesus said, have faith in God.

[58:25] Now, let's see what he said. Go to the next verse. Ah, what time? He said, for assuredly I say to you, whosoever says to, and he pointed at a sentence, mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things which he says, ah, will be done.

[58:46] He will have whatever he says. Yes. Think, think, pause. Jesus said, if you believe in your heart, and what is in your heart, you say it, you shall have whatever you say, based on God's word that has entered you.

[59:08] So, that's what it means to have faith in God. How come you are telling me I have faith in God, and I can't hear you speak? Satan has not, Bishop, the Pope will say this, this way.

[59:18] Satan has not heard you speak. That's why he has not stopped harassing you. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Satan must hear you speak.

[59:30] Bible says that Satan was tenting him, and afterwards, when he was hungry, Satan came to him, and he said, if you are the son of God, command this, Matthew chapter 4, verse 4, command this stone into bread, and then Jesus said, it is written.

[59:47] Jesus spoke back, and then he went, Satan took him again, he said, if you are the son of God, jump from it, Jesus said, it is written. Then the third time, Satan comes again, he said, if you are the son of God, Jesus said, it is written.

[60:00] Satan actually even quotes back, he said, for it is written. So he says, Jesus quoted, it is written. Then the verse 11, Matthew 4, 11, Satan liberated. Satan hasn't heard you speak.

[60:11] That's why he hasn't left. Wow. Then the devil, you see, Satan will leave you. I said, Satan is leaving your health. Satan is leaving your marriage.

[60:25] Satan is leaving your children. Satan is leaving your finances. In the name of Jesus. How does that happen?

[60:36] He must hear you speak. Not once. You say it once and for all. No, once and again. Speak it. Speak it. Maintain your confession. Speak it. I shall not die, but live to declare the works of the Lord.

[60:48] I shall not die. I am the head and not the tail. Someone, no, no, your child is not supposed to be failing in school. If he's failing, there's always the tail of the class.

[60:58] Let it be clear that there is a believer in this house. Don't be upset. Correct the child where you need to correct. But begin to speak into their destiny.

[61:09] You shall excel. You shall excel. Amen. According to God's work. When they are going to school, you see the reports. You know, this can't be for my child. I know this is what's coming. But it's changing. Report, you are changing. Report, you are changing.

[61:20] When you see medical report, look at the report. Speak to the report. Report, you are changing. Report, you are changing. Report. Some of you are looking for a prophet to profess. The devil is alive. Prophesy into your own situation.

[61:31] Prophesy into your own situation. He said, and I prophesied as I was commanded. Son of man, shall these bones leave? Son of man, shall these bones leave?

[61:42] He said, Lord, you know. And he said, prophesy to the dry bones and say to the bones, bones leave. And I prophesied as I was commanded.

[61:53] You have to learn how to prophesy. You have to learn how to speak the word of God. You have to learn how to speak the word to your situation. Don't remain silent. Don't remain quiet.

[62:04] Speak the word. Speak the word. Have you got anything to say? I believe God. Speak the word.

[62:17] There was a time, they were on the high seas. It's like you almost dipped into my message. They were on the high seas in Acts chapter 27. And Bible says, my Bible says, there was a shipwreck.

[62:29] And for 14 days, they didn't see night, nor day. And they were, they are not eating anything. In Acts chapter 27, reading from verse 20, kapatakata katakata katakaya, rapakatakatakatata, makatata, now, now, when neither sun nor star appeared, for many days, and no small tempest beat all us, all hope that we will be saved, was finally given up.

[63:00] Think about it. Hope that we will be saved, was finally given up. So all of us, we can tell there's no hope. They didn't know where the ship was. They didn't know where it was heading. But tempest, it was dark.

[63:12] Tempest was beating upon the ship, beating left to right. And our hope was gone. Listen to what happened. Verse 21. But after a long abstinence, from food, then Paul stood in the midst of all of them.

[63:29] You keep quiet in your family. Your family boat is sinking. They need a believer to rise up and speak. Paul stood in the, I mean, he said, man, you should have listened to me.

[63:44] He referred them. He knew the situation. You should have listened to me, and I've not sailed. You should have sailed. So that's the problem. You should have listened. I told you shouldn't go in. But now, look at the next verse. That's what I want.

[63:55] I'm not interested in the other one. He said, and now I ask you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life amongst you, but only the ship. Listen, how can we be in the ship, and the ship will be destroyed, but we are saved?

[64:10] It's the ship that is carrying us on the water. Now you are telling me there will be no loss of water, a life, but there will be loss of ship. So are we going to be swimming? What's going to happen?

[64:21] On the high seas, when all hope that will be saved was lost, Paul stood in the midst of them. He didn't hide in the toilet, and call somebody, and say, you know, I'm thinking, no, he stood in the midst of them, and he said, and he said, I'm telling you, there will be no loss of life.

[64:40] I'm telling my family, there will be no loss of life. I stand here as a prophet of God. Between now and the end of the year, there will be no loss of life. There will be no loss of life.

[64:52] You shall not be hospitalized, except for delivery and baby purposes. I stand here as the prophet of God, and I prophesy over your life, there will not be loss of life.

[65:04] It shall be well with you. I prophesy, I prophesy, so shall it be. Listen, speak out the word.

[65:23] Hey, that's one of the main reasons why we come to church. So that on Monday, you are ready to speak out. On Tuesday, you are ready to speak out.

[65:34] God gave you your mouth to speak, not just to eat. Satan told Jesus.

[65:49] Then the stone starts eating. He said, I'm not eating, I'm speaking. Because man must not live by, the mouth is not only for eating, the mouth is for the word.

[66:02] The mouth is for the word. The mouth is for the word. I don't know why you are not speaking the word. You don't need to have theology. You don't need to know everything.

[66:14] One thing you know, that Jesus saves. One thing you know, from God's word. If God's word says it, and you can believe it, then when you speak it, it shall happen.

[66:26] Katababa, ba, ba, ba, shout, Lord, I believe. Amen. Amen. You, when we say, say it, you stand there.

[66:39] Hey. I believe. It's, it's the religious people who come to church, like, you take your car to the garage for it to be, they work on the car, the car drives back. No.

[66:50] In churches, you come to have a meeting. Yes. You come to have a meeting. So, not just the people, but with God. Get involved. Talk back to God.

[67:01] Don't just be listening, but speaking to God. Communicate with God in your heart. When we say, shout, shout it. When we say, jam, jam. When we say, say, I believe, shout, I believe. Someone who believes, shout, Lord, I believe.

[67:14] I believe. Shout, Lord, I believe. Lord, I believe. I feel the power of God in the house. I see miracles in the house. I see breakthroughs in the house.

[67:25] I see supernatural move of God in the house. It is happening for somebody. It is happening for somebody. If I be a prophet, I release your miracle.

[67:37] I release your testimony. I release your breakthrough. Receive it now. Jesus said, assuredly, I say unto you, that whoever shall say, shall say, put it back on it.

[68:07] Whoever, not a pastor, not a prophet, whoever, whoever, whoever, whoever, whoever, whoever, whoever says, watch this, whoever says, he shall have whatever he says.

[68:29] Wow. Yeah. Whoever says, shall have whatever he says. Whoever says, you see how damaging religious Christianity have done to many of us oh the prophet must speak and that's it no you must speak sometimes you may not meet a prophet but you must prophesy God created us to speak that's why he said let us make all the things he said let there be let there be but when he got to man he said let us make man in our own image so that they can be speaking he calls it the word of faith it comes by word and it works by word the word of faith let me finish this text in Acts 27

[69:42] Paul said that thing is serious pastor this man see some of us we can't speak you must get to the state where you tell everybody in the family quiet quiet enough is enough we are not burying this family member they will tell you what do you know do you know what the doctor is saying tell them that I said we are not burying her I said we are not burying anything not by might not by power but by the word of God but by the word of God I said we are not burying anybody then they will ask you who do you think you are you tell them you find out very soon some of us are so much afraid of unbelievers or if not unbelievers carnal religious Christians who don't have anything to say because there is no word in their heart and they don't understand how God works

[70:53] God works by faith so Paul this is you or say Paul it was different if maybe he saw the shores so okay there is light coming and I say guys you see no when still there was no light darkness in the midst of it Bible said he stood in their midst and said you should have listened to me but do you know what I'm telling you watch this he said I'm telling you there will not be loss of life but the sheep meanwhile he was talking to people who knew not thoughts they knew that all hope was gone experienced sailors including the master of the sheep and he says that there will not be but the sheep look at the next verse verse 23 for there's two what Paul why are you saying this why are you talking like this what are you talking about he said for there stood by me tonight the angel of God who whom I belong and to whom I belong and whom I serve makatakataka you see it's good to serve God you see it's good to serve God he says listen if you are here never make a pastor's work difficult by making him feel that he needs you the devil is a liar that is Satan's plan to destroy your life yes sometimes pastors behave like they are so needy you know a pastor he's always asking for money from you borrow me this borrow me this you have a consent but you know the hand of the Lord is on his life you know the word of the Lord is on his life ignore the idiosyncrasies ignore the human side and believe that this man

[72:41] God can use him to help me some of us think that when you come to church you are doing a pastor a favor that is why I talk the way I talk you need me my preaching to survive in the days ahead I am telling you I am telling you I come to you as a messenger of God I come to you as an angel of God to give you the audacity so that in the midst of the shipwreck in the midst of hopelessness you can say the angel of the Lord stood by me and told me the God whom I serve I stand here as an angel from God I stand here as a prophet from God and I speak to you it shall be well with you it shall be well with you it shall be well with you it shall be well with you if you believe shall Lord I believe it shall be well with you it shall be well with you it shall be well with you but your absence wouldn't stop the work do you know what Monday is coming with?

[74:01] you dare not enter Monday with lessness with wordlessness with wordlessness you dare not enter October without a word from God it's a risk it's a risk because Satan is bound to show up somewhere along the line and he sent me with a word for you to deal with October a word for you to tackle November a word for you to tackle December let me finish this and Paul put it back on the screen Paul said the angel of God to whom I belong and whom I serve that's where it starts from when I finish I'll give somebody the opportunity to say Lord I want to belong to you listen me living in United Kingdom spiritually is helping this country but but but let's put spiritual let's say not spiritual physically my being here is not boosting the economy or collapsing the economy so somebody can choose me I'm not going to UK you are so poor not going to UK it doesn't affect the government so what makes you think that you with your poverty can make a difference financially in UK life you can't most of us can't even put life together and you think the church needs you to survive oh

[75:40] Satan has deceived you Satan has spoken to you he wants to destroy you you need the word from God what what's this what you need is not prayer that we pray for you no you need a word that can make you stand on your feet you need the word tap someone and tell the person you need the word from God do you know why do you know why some of us you try and go and stand in the midst of some family members or some colleagues and tell them that don't worry the business is not going down what makes you say what you say before you say that you must have a backbone so Paul said the reason why I'm telling you is the night for there stood by me this night an angel from the Lord go to the next verse go to the next verse and he told me do not be afraid

[76:45] Paul you must be brought before Caesar and indeed God has granted you and all those who sail with you God has God indeed God has granted you all those who the people who are traveling with you are you okay pastor why are you talking like this because the angel of the Lord stood by me that's why I called the young lady and laid my hands on her he has given me the authority audacity and the mandate to undo the work of the devil don't leave don't leave the place of safety and go to where you don't know what lies ahead don't leave the place of safety for some of us listen those of you who have been around a little longer

[77:56] I'm a pastor who is not desperate for church members I'm really desperate for Holy Ghost I'm desperate for the Holy Spirit because listen it's like a bus driver it's not the people the passengers on the bus that determine salary I'm telling you I work hard what gives me greater joy is your miracle that sister stood here they said you would need blood transfusion she dragged herself to church and after church Pastor Frank was there Pastor chance was there I prayed that woman the lady I prayed for her yeah and then when I prayed for her I told Akwesi let her do the summary of the message she did the recording today when I go home late at night she sent a test that we have been asked to report back to the hospital I didn't call her back do you know why I knew I had prayed for her you can't come you can't come and serve God do a recording to bless people and they finish and go and lie in hospital the devil is a liar not under our watch not under our watch not under our watch not under our watch because we serve the living God shout yes Lord see Paul said see what Paul said have you got anything to say have you got anything to say

[79:38] I believe Paul now he says that do not be afraid that's what the angel told Paul do not be afraid Paul you must be brought before Caesar and indeed God has granted you all those who sail with him go to the next verse now this is what Paul said say therefore therefore say therefore therefore so therefore take heart relax relax he told them chill out chill out relax because God has told me that's why I'm saying it but if you don't say it if you don't say it what God has said cannot happen somebody has to open your mouth and say it so Paul said I have got something to say in the midst of the storm in the midst of the crisis I have something to say have you got anything to say I believe Paul what have you got to say I believe Paul Paul said man for I believe

[80:40] God that it will be to me just as it was told me that is why I am speaking to you speaking faith you got to speak it out you got to speak it out you cannot end up in hospital your marriage is not breaking down sister brother you got to speak it out shout I believe God that is what faith is about it is the faith that speaks even when everything is gloomy all hope is gone faith will keep speaking what the word faith will still be declaring the word speak the word sister don't be afraid that pain you are having in your body it happens to people and some ended up on the theater table but you are different from them do you know why because

[85:20] Only believers speak out. People of faith, fear not. I stand here and I announce that United Kingdom shall be saved. United Kingdom shall be saved.

[85:34] They shall be revived. They shall be revived. They shall be revived. They shall be revived.

[85:45] United Kingdom shall be saved. Europe shall be saved. England shall be saved. London shall be saved.

[85:56] I believe God. I believe God. God. If you miss a call from the hospital, don't be worried.

[86:19] Say, I believe God. I believe God. Some of us, we go to the doctors and they tell us everything they want to say.

[86:30] And you are quiet. What are you saying? Speak my apple. In fact, somebody was telling me recently, the doctor said, the doctor said, you have to go through surgery.

[86:43] She said, no, that's not for me. We are telling you. You said, no, I'm also telling you. Francis is here. The doctor told her, you have to have another chemo.

[86:56] She said, I am not having another chemo. I am not having. The doctor said, you have. Say, I'm not having another chemo. I'm rather having baby. I'm not having chemo. I'm having baby. I'm not having chemo. I'm having baby.

[87:07] The doctor told her, you may not even live to take care of the baby.

[87:19] She said, I will live to take care of my baby. After she said that to the doctors, less than a month later, the sicker said, the sickness, lupus was healed.

[87:47] Please don't act so posh as though everything is okay with you. I know you actually need God. And if you need God, he will not force himself.

[88:01] You have to engage God. How do I engage God? Believe in your heart and speak it that God, I trust in you.

[88:12] I shall not die. I shall not go through surgery. I shall not go down. My children will be okay. My finances will be okay.

[88:23] I'm not losing my house. I'm not losing my child. I'm not losing my job. Come on. You got to speak it out. Final thing I want to draw to your attention.

[88:38] It is not about prayer, but it is about speaking. I want you to know tomorrow, whatever comes your way, look at it and tell that thing that you, who are you?

[88:53] Oh great mountain before Zerubbabel, you shall be leveled out. And when you say, believe it and don't change your confession. People ask you, how are you? Don't say I'm dying.

[89:04] The devil is a liar. They ask you, how are things going? Tell them God has taken care of it. God has taken control. You shall hear my testimony very soon. You shall see the result very soon.

[89:16] Speak what you believe. Let your faith speak. Let your faith speak. Have you got anything to say? I believe for all. Have you got anything to say?

[89:27] I believe for all. Thank you. Please be seated. I believe God.

[89:39] Bow your head with me. You want to say, Pastor, I want to be fruitful. I want to start afresh with Jesus. I know I need Jesus.

[89:52] So I want to invite him into my life. I want to start afresh. I know God is speaking to me and I can't pretend anymore. I can't postpone it.

[90:03] That's your genuine prayer. You want to say, Pastor, please pray with me. I need Jesus. I want to invite him. If that's your genuine prayer, you want to say, Pastor, pray with me. I need Jesus. I want to start serving him and bearing fruit.

[90:17] I want to start a new relationship with him because I know my relationship with Jesus is not good. I want to start afresh. I want to be born again. I want to invite him. If that's your genuine prayer, lift up your right hand and I'll pray with you.

[90:29] You know now you don't care. You want to believe God. It starts with making it plain. It starts with it. Just lift in your hands, which is a statement from your heart.

[90:40] The Lord, I'm ready. That's why you're going to pray after me. When I say, say after me from your heart, lift up your two hands as a sign of surrender. Please say this after me.

[90:51] Say, Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner and I've sinned against you. But I believe that you died on the cross to save me, a sinner from my sins.

[91:05] I ask you to come into my life. Wash me with your blood. Make me new. From today, I make a commitment that I will save you.

[91:17] I'll put all my faith in you. I'll trust you. I'll walk with you. I'll bear fruit for you to the glory of your name. Thank you for this opportunity.

[91:28] In Jesus name. Amen. If you said that prayer, congratulations. You are now born again. Our pastor always says, it's not enough to believe, but you must belong.
