Description

There are many ways that God can allow Himself to impart Himself into someone. God joins Himself to man and man joins Himself to God - this happens more as the believer starts to mature in their Christian walk. As you become more constituted of God, the more God is able to use you, express Himself in you and speak through you to nations.

[0:00] Thank you for choosing to listen to today's message by Rev. 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.

[0:14] Be blessed. God created you to be able to contain Him as the Spirit. So how does He do that? Pastor Show me. Because I really want to be full of God.

[0:26] That's why I'm talking about this. One of the ways God causes us to mature is through prophesying. That's a new thing, isn't it? What do you mean? Most of all, when we hear prophecy, we are thinking about prediction.

[0:39] But when we talk about prophecy, biblical prophecy fundamentally is not about prediction. To prophesy means to speak for God.

[0:51] And not just that, to speak forth God. So when I speak, if I'm prophesying, when I speak, I'm speaking for God. I'm beginning to tell the agenda of God.

[1:02] And not just that, when I speak, I'm speaking forth God. If you keep listening to me, much of God will work into you. You cannot mature without constantly hearing a certain speaking filled with God.

[1:16] That's why we spend much time in church teaching. Teaching so that we can fill people with God constantly. God is coming to you. The more you are hearing the word, that is why in 1 Corinthians chapter 14, he said, as long as the church is concerned, prophecy is what builds the church.

[1:33] 1 Corinthians chapter 14, verse 4 and 5. He said, he that speaks in unknown tongues, edifies them. But he that prophesies, edifies the church. The word edifies, build the church.

[1:43] So it takes prophecy to build the church. So Joseph, God started working on him. God started, how do you know when a person is mature? Listen to them speak.

[1:55] Your speaking reveals who you are. Your speaking reveals what you are filled up with. Your speaking reveals where you are at, your level.

[2:05] So this is how Paul puts it in 1 Corinthians chapter 13, verse 11. He said, when I was a child. Let's all read it from the screen.

[2:16] Let's go. When I was a child. When I was a child. Please read it out loud. Let's go. When I was a child. I still was a child. I understood as a child. And I thought as a child.

[2:28] When I gave man. I put away childish things. So one of the signs of childishness is the way you talk. Do you know that you can, just listening to a man's voice.

[2:39] A person's voice. You will know whether this person is a very old man. Or a very young man. Isn't it interesting? Proverbs says that the glory of a young man is his strength.

[2:52] Youth has to do with doing. Maturity has to do with speaking. That's why as people grow in life. They are able to impact. They speak to the younger one.

[3:03] Tell them. Teach them. You speak. Speaking. Maturity is in speaking. So then you have to look at Jacob. His record of speaking. Wow. Do you know, according to Bible.

[3:16] According to the text. The first recorded statement of Jacob. You want to know? He might have said a lot of other things. But the first recorded statement of Jacob.

[3:26] You know, in the Old Testament. They prophesied. And when you read the Bible. Isaiah chapter. I'll come to Jacob. Isaiah chapter 40. Verse 24. Yeah. Isaiah chapter 40.

[3:37] 24. No, sorry. 10. 24. Isaiah 10. 24. Listen to that. This is how he puts it. Therefore what? Let's not read the first line. Let's read it. Therefore God save. I wish you could have said it louder.

[3:47] Let's go. Therefore God save the Lord. The Lord. The Lord. Therefore. That says the Lord. Let's say that together. Therefore God save the Lord. What's happening to your voice?

[3:58] Now. Therefore God save the Lord. Isaiah 51. Isaiah chapter 50. Verse 1. Let's read the first line. Let's go. That says the Lord. That's it.

[4:08] One more time. That says the Lord. One more time. That says the Lord. Jeremiah chapter 2. 2. Let's read the second line. Jerusalem saying.

[4:19] That says the Lord. One more time. That says the Lord. When you read the Bible throughout. You see. That's it. In the Old Testament. They come to say. So.

[4:30] I come. This is what God is saying. This is what God is saying. They took what God is saying. Of God. In fact. There are places you see. In the Bible. Jeremiah chapter. That's chapter 2.

[4:42] Okay. So. Chapter. Chapter 2. Verse 1. What does the verse 1 say? Verse 1. What does the verse 1 say? Moreover. The word of the Lord came. Shh. The word came.

[4:53] All right. To me. The word came to me. The word came to me. Jeremiah chapter. One.

[5:04] Is it chapter 1 verse 1? The word came to me. So. The word kept coming to them. And then they say. This is what God is saying. The word kept coming to them. That's the Old Testament prophecy. But the New Testament principle.

[5:16] Is about. More about incarnation. Where. God. And man. Or God. Comes into man. And man. Comes into God.

[5:28] So God. Joins himself with man. Man is joined to God. So in the New Testament. Maturity. Is more about. Not. I'm speaking for God. But as I speak.

[5:38] Is God who is. Oh. We'll get to that. We'll get to that. Maturity. Say maturity. So. Jacob. First recorded statement. Of Jacob. In the Bible. Do you know what he says?

[5:49] You like it. It's in Genesis chapter. 25 verse 31. Genesis chapter 25 verse 31. It's already allowed. Please. Alright. Let's go. What was the first recorded statement.

[6:07] Of Jacob in the Bible. What was the first recorded statement. Sell me your. You see. He was always thinking about himself. Give it to me now. Give me your birthright now.

[6:17] Give me. Please. If there's something you are losing. In Christ. Never sell. And miss. Miss your birthright. In Genesis. There are four cases of birthrights. That were swapped. The first one was this one.

[6:28] Jacob and Esau. Esau was the one who was supposed to go to. But Jacob got it. Because Esau was not serious. The second one. Is in Genesis chapter 38. Is about Tamar.

[6:39] Tamar had children. Zara and Perez. Zara was the first one. Perez was. Genesis 28. 38. 37. 38. 27. Perez had the first.

[6:50] The birthright. And. And. Zara missed the birthright. The next case of swap birthright. Was Joseph's children.

[7:01] Manasseh and Ephraim. Manasseh was the first. And Ephraim was the second. In Genesis chapter 48. From verse 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. Manasseh was supposed to have gotten.

[7:13] The first. Bones blessing. But he didn't get it. Because. God had a different plan. For Ephraim to be the. The leader. To catch it. And then the third.

[7:24] The fourth. Case of swap birthright. Is the one that. Most of us. If we don't take care. Our society is preparing us for. And you know what.

[7:36] What happened. It is. Reuben. The first son. Of. The first son. Of Jacob. Jacob. Do you know who Jacob is? Jacob.

[7:47] Is a great personality. You are going to find out in a minute. Jacob's first son. He was supposed. Because. He was supposed to catch. The. Best right. Do you know why he didn't get it? Because of.

[7:58] Sexual immorality. Uh-huh. Ephesians 5.5. For this you know that. No. No fornicator. Unclean person. Now covetous man. Who is an idolater.

[8:09] Has any inheritance. You can lose your heritage. Now. What's it called? Reuben. Went. To sleep. With his father's concubine.

[8:20] Genesis chapter 35. I think verse 10. Somewhere there. He went. And had a go. Or 35 verse 22. Yes. Verse 22. It happened. When Israel. Jacob. Dwelt in the land.

[8:31] That Reuben. Went and lay with Bilal. His father's concubine. And Israel. Heard about it. That's what they said about it. Through fornication. He lost his birthright.

[8:43] Because. Fornicators. Lose inheritance. In the kingdom. So. If you. The way you like her. You like him. Why don't you convert the fornication into. Convert the woman into a wife.

[8:56] And it will no more be fornication. Marriage is honorable in all. And the bed. Is not defined. The honorable. The God says. Ah. This is good. He created it. But then.

[9:07] Anything outside of that. Bible said. The adulteress. This is it. Fornicators and adulteress. What happened to them? And now. So Jacob. His first son. Lost his birthright.

[9:18] Because of sexual immorality. And. His second son. And third sons. Were very. Emotionally charged. They went and killed people.

[9:29] Crills of. Instruments of cruelty. And then his fourth son. Who is Judah. Was supposed to have gotten the birthright. But. He lost it.

[9:39] Because. He too. He went. Into a prostitute. Don't know. That was. His daughter-in-law. Daughter-in-law. Now. In Genesis chapter 38. He went.

[9:50] So. See. But. So do you know who got the birthright? It's Joseph. Because Joseph passed. The moral test. And so. In. In. First. First.

[10:02] Chronicles. Chapter. Five. Verse. One. To four. It says that. The birthright was given to. So. Joseph. All right. So. Now. Watch this. Joseph. The first thing.

[10:12] Jacob said. Sell me your birthright. Then. Bible didn't say. He spoke too much again. The first thing he spoke about. Was. I need it. Then. I'm talking about.

[10:22] The speaking. Of. Jacob. As. God was maturing him. Maturity is God. Working himself. Into you. Okay. So. That gets to a time. You become. Constituted with God.

[10:33] That your entire reign. Is so filled with God. That's what I'm trying to talk about. So. How did God do it? He started working on Jacob. And then Jacob. The next time he spoke.

[10:45] Again. He spoke a little bit. But the main speaking. Was a very bad one. In Genesis chapter. Genesis chapter 27. Genesis 27. Verse 19. Jacob said.

[10:56] To his father. Go to verse 18. Look at this. Verse 18. Verse 18. Verse 18 said. So he went. To his father. And said. My father. And he said. Here I am. Who are you?

[11:06] My son. Does Isaac ask Jacob. Who are you? Do you know what he said? Verse 19. So Jacob said to his father. I am Esau. Oh. Jacob. Jacob. And yet.

[11:17] God called himself. The God of Jacob. When you look at the way. He used to talk. And his behavior. If anyone amongst us. Behave like that. You would doubt. If the pest is born again. I am.

[11:31] I am Esau. You are not the firstborn. He went to lie. I am Esau. Your firstborn. I have done just. As she told me. You told me. Please arise. Sit and eat. And I go to the next day.

[11:41] And see. But Isaac said. To his son. How is it that. You have found it so quickly. He said. And he said. Because the Lord your God.

[11:52] Brought it to me. The God of Jacob. Can you imagine.

[12:04] The Lord. He said. God brought it to me. You sent me. But God made it happen. The Lord said. The Lord said. But Isaac said to his son. The next verse. Isaac said to Jacob.

[12:15] Please come here. That I may feel you. My son. Whether you are. And so when he went in here. He felt him. And he said. No. The. The. It feels like Jacob. He felt. He said that.

[12:26] And he felt him. And said. The voice is Jacob's voice. But the hands are. It's of size. The man was blind. So he could tell. Jacob. He would do anything to get for himself.

[12:37] Remember that. Sign of immaturity. Is that. It's always about you. It's always about you.

[12:48] About you. About you. About me. Give it to me. When he went to live by himself. Give me that woman. Oh. You have to work for seven years. No. I'll work for her. To get there. They tricked him. They give him the other one.

[12:59] He said. Still. I'll work for her. So. It's all about me. He left. He said. I have to leave. Because I have to go and provide for my own. And then. So you see. In chapter 31. Chapter 32. You can hear the talkings of Jacob.

[13:11] But when he listened to his talking. It was about him. It was about. Then chapter 35. When his daughter was raped. In chapter 34. Chapter 35. He begins. Language begins to change.

[13:22] He said. Let us go. So I can build an altar for God. The guy was changing. He was changing. He said to his family. Genesis chapter 35. He said. Let us go.

[13:32] To Bethel. So I will build. And I told them. Put away. The foreign gods from amongst you. Because we are going to Bethel. To build for me. To build an altar for God. Where he appeared to me.

[13:43] So now. He is beginning to talk. About God. Let us do it for God. Let us do it for God. When he met Esau. He said. Oh my Lord. You know. My Lord. He was lying. He was just lying. Then look at the story.

[13:54] I like this. I like this. Then he was told that Jacob. Joseph your son is alive. And the Bible says that. His heart was numb.

[14:06] But his spirit was revived. When you are young. It is your spirit. Your spiritual man. That can help you get numb. By your heart. His heart was rather numb.

[14:20] His spirit was revived. The sign of maturity. He was growing. And then. Quickly. Fast forward. He went to Pharaoh. He went to Egypt. When he was taken to Pharaoh. In Genesis chapter 47 verse 7.

[14:32] See what he said. We know how people are maturing. By what they say. Can we all read it together please. Let's go. And Joseph brought in his heart Jacob.

[14:43] And said to you all Pharaoh. And Jacob blessed Pharaoh. When he got there. He started blessing. Look at verse 10. Look at verse 10. Let's go. So Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

[14:54] And went out. Blessing is the overflow. Of the life of God. So you must first of all. Be filled with God. So that it can overflow. So the dimension. To which you are filled with God.

[15:04] Is what determines. How you can bless others. An empty vessel. Can't give any water. So you first. Must be filled with God. Then out of the overflow.

[15:15] Once God saturates you. You get to a place in life. You are not contending with people. You are actually blessing them. When you speak. God is entering them. Blessing. Blessing.

[15:25] Blessing is to bring God to man. And bring man into God. For him to enjoy God. As grace. Love.

[15:36] And fellowship. Blessing. Through New Testament blessing. Is to bring God. Man. And to bring man. Into God.

[15:46] To God. For him to enjoy God. As grace. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. As love. The love of God. And as fellowship. Bless others. To bless others. Is to bring them.

[15:57] Into God's presence. And to bring God. Into them. As grace. Love. And fellowship. That they might enjoy. A trinity. They might enjoy God. So. Is to bring.

[16:07] People. Into the presence of God. Or bring God. Into people. And then. Then bring them. Into God. That they might enjoy God. That's a true blessing. See when you are blessed.

[16:18] When you are blessed. You are Godful. Like the New Testament blessing. It's not so much about material acquisition. But it's so much about God. Godfulness. Joseph was in prison.

[16:30] But he was prospering. Prison. How can God be with you. And you are in prison. It's the prison. It's our problem. But his problem was Godlessness. So even if he had to stand for God. And enter into prison.

[16:41] He knew that God would be with him in prison. That's the blessing. But some of us. We want the material. The physical. Opportunity so much. So even if we have to lose God. To get it. No problem.

[16:52] Never lose your Christian stand. To get a man. You won't be able to keep him. It is headache you have gone for. It's not a blessing. Because the blessing is not inside.

[17:04] The blessing is not inside. Some of us went for men. Or women. Went for things. And the blessing was not inside. Now you are in church with it. We are working the blessing into it for you.

[17:17] Say amen. Amen. It's true. So you who. Say, pastor. Why are you always talking about it?

[17:27] Because see. To have marital peace is a blessing. Oh yes. A blessing. So it's better to wait. And get it right. Oh yes. Than to jump into it.

[17:38] And then start. So Jacob when he appeared. Now in Genesis chapter. Now. He appears before Pharaoh. Abraham didn't bless anybody. Jacob appears before Pharaoh. He blessed him.

[17:49] Then he. In Genesis chapter 48. Verse 9. He tells him his son. Joseph. Bring your sons. That I may bless them. Bring them closer. Bring them. Bring them.

[18:00] That I will bless them. Hey. This man is not thinking blessing. He's no more thinking about what is him. And then. Verse 15. Bible says that. And he blessed them. He blessed Joseph. Verse 15 says that. And he blessed Joseph.

[18:11] And said. So blessing has to do with. Also speaking. Speaking for God. The overflow of God. Now. Watch this. So have you noticed the trend of that.

[18:21] Jacob spoke. But you can tell. His speaking was changing. His speaking was changing. That was the sign of maturity. And now. The final straw. You want to know this. This is. What made me.

[18:32] Almost title the message. The prophetic blessing. Because now. Every time he shows up his blessing. Look at Genesis chapter 49. And I'm done. Are you interested in this?

[18:42] Yes. Genesis chapter 49. The guy was about to die. He was weak. Physically frail. Verse 1. He was physically frail. And Jacob called his sons.

[18:53] And said. Gather together. That I may tell you. What shall befall you. In the last days. He said.

[19:03] Bring them. Come. Come. And I may. He didn't say. I will bless you. Speak forth. Your future. This gentleman. Whose first language.

[19:14] Was sell me the birthright. Whose second main communication. Was lies. I am Esau. God has worked on him. Worked on him. Worked on him. Worked on him. When he became full of God.

[19:25] He was so constituted with God. God's plan for your life. Is to fill you with himself. To constitute. So he becomes your constitution. To rearrange you with him.

[19:36] That's why I started by Genesis. He created us. To fill us. That's God's plan. So you are born again. Not just to go to heaven. You are born again. So. As you walk with him. He is washing you.

[19:47] By the washing of the. He is cleansing you. By the washing of the water. Of the word. And the more. John said. I must decrease. And he must increase. So that you can decrease.

[19:58] And he will increase in you. A time comes. When it will be like the story of Enoch. And Enoch worked with God. And he was not. Enoch worked with God. And he was no more.

[20:08] God. Want to fill you with himself. Fill you with himself. That you become more of him. And less of you. That's mutual maturity. Jacob. Watch this. Jacob.

[20:19] Said. Let me tell you what's going to happen in the last days. He was. He was frail. But. Four things I want you to know. He knew God. And then number two. He knew the people.

[20:30] His sons. The condition of the sons. And then number three. His spirit. Was in line with the purpose of God. And then number four. He even though he was physically frail.

[20:41] He wasn't spiritually frail. So he was spiritually fervent. And he began to speak. Now this is very important. Look at verse two. Gather together and hear. You sons of.

[20:53] This contains a lot. Let's not read the alarm. Let's go. Gather together and hear. First thing. Gather together and what? And hear. Gather together and what? And hear. When you are growing.

[21:05] It's what you are speaking. Gather. Let's go. Gather together and hear. You sons of. I can't hear you. Let's go. Gather together and hear.

[21:16] You sons of Jacob. And listen to Israel. Your father. Ah. Who should hear? Sons of Jacob. I can't hear you. Who should hear? Sons of Jacob.

[21:28] Who should they listen to? Israel. Your father. He was the begotten father. The begotten father is the fleshly Jacob. But the prophesying father is Israel.

[21:39] Someone who has met God. Someone who has had an encounter with God. He stood in the position to prophesy. Yes. I am your begotten father. You know me in the flesh as Jacob.

[21:51] But listen. I'm coming to speak to you about your future as Israel. Gather yourself together and hear.

[22:03] Sons of Jacob. The begotten father was Jacob. But the blessing father was Israel. And Israel, he says, as for as a prince, you have fought with God the man and you have failed.

[22:15] God. That's Israel. That one who has prevailed. He's the representative of God. I'm not speaking to you as your natural father. I'm not speaking to you for my humanity. I'm not speaking to you for my flesh.

[22:26] Because now my flesh gave birth to you. But something has taken over me. Something has taken over me. I'm full of God and I just prophesy. So when I'm blessing you, I'm not just saying to be well with you.

[22:39] I'm prophesying the outcome of your future and your children's future. Look at verse 28. It was blessing. It was going to bless. Look at verse 28. All these are the 12 tribes of Israel.

[22:50] And this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them. So in the speaking, he was blessing. But in the speaking, he was prophesying. The one person in the scriptures who prophesied without a gift.

[23:04] Can I tell you some second thing about this? Jacob here. Say, Jacob's hammer shot dead by God.

[23:16] This is strong. This is the last, practically the ultimate verse. The book of Genesis. So after this, Genesis chapter 50, that's it.

[23:26] So that's what the end of Genesis. And this man spoke. Watch this. The things he spoke about his sons. That from Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy.

[23:39] Throughout all the Old Testament. And not just that. Throughout all the New Testament into Revelation. Was filled with the manifestation of his prophecy. Everything from then on was the manifestation of what Jacob said about his sons.

[23:56] The Bible is filled with the manifestation. And the playing out. And the execution of Joseph's prophetic blessings.

[24:09] Jacob's prophetic blessings. What he spoke. This man was so constituted of God. Listen, listen. You don't have to miss this. He was so constituted of God.

[24:21] That when he spoke. God spoke. He didn't come to say, does say it the Lord. He didn't come to say, the word of the Lord came to me.

[24:31] He said, come and let me speak to you and tell you. Thank you. And let me tell you what will befall you. Can I take it a little deeper as I close?

[24:44] I'll show you I'm ready for this. Because we have to bring it in the New Testament context. First Corinthians. Are you sure you're ready for this? I'm ending it now. First Corinthians chapter 7. Apostle Paul shows up.

[24:55] Filled with God. The one who said in Philippians chapter 1 verse 21. For me to live is Christ. To die is gain. My living is Christ.

[25:07] He said, I'm ready to be poured out. I'm being poured out as a drink of. He said, I'm ready to be spent. First Corinthians chapter 12 verse 15. To be spent and be spent.

[25:19] In Acts chapter 21. He said, don't intimidate him by telling him. Don't go to Israel. Because there's a prophecy. That way you go, you'll die. I'm not. You'll suffer. I'm not only ready to suffer. I'm ready to die for the name of Christ. Paul.

[25:30] Paul. They beat him in one city. They stoned him. He didn't die. Got up. Went to the next city. Went to preach. Hallelujah. Paul. A Roman citizen. Was arrested.

[25:41] For preaching. For casting out a devil. In Acts chapter 16. In the region of Thessalonica. In the city of Philippi. He cast a devil out. And they wrongly accused him.

[25:54] And beat them. And put them in prison. When they were putting him in prison. He knew that he was a Roman citizen. And you dare not treat a Roman citizen like that. But guess what? He didn't use that car. Because he was willing to sacrifice.

[26:06] To go to prison. Because the jailer must be saved. He was beaten. Put in prison. And Bible says in Acts 16.25. At midnight.

[26:16] Paul and Silas. They prayed. And praised God. And there was an earthquake. And the prison doors were open. And the chains of all the prisoners fell. And then when the chains fell. The man woke up.

[26:27] And came. And the doors were open. He thought all the prisoners had escaped. Because when you are a prison jailer. And prisoners escape. The punishment is execution. A bitter one. So he said. I never kill myself.

[26:38] Before they come and get me. And torture me. So he took the knife. He was about to kill himself. And Paul spoke from the darkness. He said. Do yourself no harm. For we are all here. None of us have escaped. And the man trembling.

[26:49] He said to them. Acts 16.31.32. Men and brethren. What shall I do to be saved? Paul said. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ. And you shall be saved. You and your household.

[26:59] And that very night. The man believed. And they were baptized. And he washed their wounds. He gave them food. And then in the morning. The magistrate sent. And said. Let the men go. There is no need.

[27:10] We take them to court. Let them go. And he said. We are not going anywhere. You put us in prison. Romanticism. Without trial. You are telling us to go. We need you to come. And beg us. And release us yourself.

[27:21] So Paul knew the law. But he didn't use the law. Why? Because he wanted to be in prison. For the salvation of the jailer. Paul. He said. He said.

[27:32] I rejoice in my suffering for you. Buried in my flesh. The afflictions of Christ. He rejoiced.

[27:42] Colossians 1.24. He was happy to suffer for someone to grow. This Paul. He was so constituted with God. I'm talking about. The God constituted person.

[27:56] Someone who is so constituted. Saturated. Filled with God. That's what I'm talking about. And Paul. Also constituted. In 1 Corinthians. Chapter 7. Verse 10.

[28:07] Do you want to hear what he said there? He said. What I'm saying. Is a commandment. From the Lord. Am I right? Do you see how he put it?

[28:18] He said. Now to the married. I do what? I can't hear you. I can't hear you. I command. Who commands? Who commands? But listen to the next one.

[28:29] Yet not I. But the Lord. So who is doing a commandment now? Commanding. He said. I command. Yet it's God who is commanding. As I'm commanding. So he starts by saying.

[28:39] I command. And he said. Yet not I. It's God. Look at verse 12. Look at verse 12. Who? But to the rest I say. Not the Lord. To the rest I.

[28:50] Not the Lord. Say. So it's not God who is speaking now. Now I'm telling you. So which one is. And when you read the things he said. Talking about divorce. The things he said after this.

[29:01] It's exactly what Jesus said. In Matthew chapter 5. Verse 31 and 32. That don't divorce your wife. In Matthew chapter 19. 3 to 9. That don't divorce. That Moses permitted divorce.

[29:13] Because of the hardiness. Now. This guy was speaking the opinion of Christ. He was speaking the mind of Christ. And yet he said. I say. This is not commandment from God. I. Not God. First he said God.

[29:24] Now he said. I. Not God. How about verse 25? This one he said. I don't have a commandment. This is my own opinion. So you see. He spoke at three stages. The first stage.

[29:36] God is saying. He didn't say. That's the Lord. You see that. He didn't say. In the New Testament. It's not about. That's the Lord. It's God speaks to us. When you are more.

[29:47] The more you are saturated with God. The more God speaks to you. You're speaking. Because becomes the speaking of God. Spiritual maturity. So. In verse 10.

[29:57] He says that. I. Command. Not I. But the Lord. Verse 10. He said. This one. I'm saying. Is not the Lord. And then verse 25.

[30:09] He said. I don't have a commandment. From the Lord. Concerning virgins. I have no commandment. From the Lord. Yet. I give my judgment. I give my opinion. And guess what. This is scripture. The opinion.

[30:20] He said. My. Which he said. My opinion. Was scripture. So now. Where is Paul. And where is God. Paul was in God. God was in Paul. And when he spoke.

[30:31] God was speaking. So in the verse 40. Look at verse 40. He said. Me too. I have the spirit of God. I thought I have the spirit of God. Verse 40 said. But she. Verse 40 said. But she is happier.

[30:41] If she remains. As she is. According to my judgment. And I said. You know what. And I think. I also have the spirit of the Lord. He's talking about my judgment. But he's trying to say that.

[30:53] This judgment. And my opinion. Is not practically. Just my. Detached opinion. My. Let me put it this way. It's my opinion. In Christ. Amen.

[31:04] Wow. Thank you. Thank you. The God constituted person. When you bless. You are prophesied. Wow.

[31:15] When you speak. God speaks through you. Yeah. And how do you get to that level? You have to keep feeding yourself. With the word of God. Grow. Grow. The more you are growing.

[31:27] The more God is speaking through you. It's not a Bible school. That makes you constituted with God. Wow. It's not. It's not theological training. It's constant spending time with God. In the presence of God.

[31:38] Bible says Moses. He spent so much time with God. When he came. From the presence of God. They couldn't look at his face. They had to get. They had to cover his face. Because people couldn't. Because the. The glory of God was oozing out of his face.

[31:50] Because he had spent time with God. That's the word. 3 verse 14. Bible said Jesus called the 12. That they might just be with him. If you stay with Jesus long enough. That's it.

[32:00] You speak like Jesus. That's it. He said. And then he appointed 12. That they might be with him. That he might send them. Not come and do for him. Just be with me first.

[32:11] So in Acts chapter 4. Verse 13. Bible says that when they saw the boldness. Of Peter and John. They took notice of them. That these guys have been. He said.

[32:23] Now. When they saw the boldness. Of Peter and John. They perceived. That they were. Uneducated. And untrained men. They. And they perceived. And they perceived.

[32:33] That they were. Uneducated. They marveled. And they realized. That these guys. Have been. It's about time. People look at you. And realize that no. There's something not ordinary about you.

[32:45] There's something supernatural. That the supernatural manifestation of God. In your life. The hand of God. Is upon your life. Shout yes. No man can do these things.

[32:57] Except God be with you. I pray. That my God has shared. About so bad. I pray that God. Will find you. That he will saturate you.

[33:09] So much with himself. That you allow yourself. To be saturated by God. That God will fill you. With so much of himself. I pray for you.

[33:19] That every situation. You go through in the flesh. Will be. Will be a training ground. For God to fill you more. With himself. To fill you more. That when people say.

[33:30] I don't believe there is God. Just you. They come into contact with you. Begin to make them know. There is something supernatural. There is something supernatural. We thank God for using the servant.
