Change - Dr David Antwi

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests his word and nourishes our spirits.

[0:12] May the life of God enter into you and you as you listen to this message. Be blessed. Life is in phases. Let's all say that together. Life is in phases.

[0:23] Would you please say it again? Life is in phases. Life is in phases. Life is in stages. In secondary school. Or in school.

[0:37] Year 1. Year 2. Year 3. Have you remembered when you were about to finish your GCSE? Or those of you who grew up in other parts of the world.

[0:49] O levels. When you finish your... You are looking forward to finishing. When you finish it... And then the A-levels.

[1:09] And another one comes. Your first degree. And then those of you who try to do the masters. Those who want to finish it, finish it.

[1:26] We submitted all your papers. And the situation. So life is in phases. Remember those of you who are married. The day they say you are not married.

[1:43] You remember you are no more going that direction. This is where you are going. You remember when you were about to relocate from Birmingham to London.

[1:55] And you were beating your friends bye. Or maybe you were about to relocate from America to London. Your best friend cried and cried and cried.

[2:12] Life is like that. There will always be a departure. In life there will always be a departure. Usually sometimes some departures have a very negative impact on the faint hearted.

[2:28] Some of you who broke relationships properly. You remember when both of you came to a conclusion. I think we have to end this relationship.

[2:42] You had to let her go. You had to let him go. You were wondering how you are going to survive. But God has designed us to be forward moving.

[2:54] And to be able to weather any storm. Never be afraid of change. Someone said something sometime ago.

[3:08] In life. That everything changes in life. The color of your hair. The texture of your skin. Amount of flesh you have on your bones.

[3:24] Where you work. Where you live. Sometimes friends. You've always hung around with.

[3:34] Everything changes in life. It has. Yeah. About three nights ago. It snowed. Today is not snowing.

[3:46] About seven months ago. We were wearing short sleeves. It was cold. Everything is changing. Everything is changing.

[4:01] And he said everything changes in life. The only thing that doesn't change. Is change. That's the only thing that is constant. Change will always be there.

[4:13] Everything changes. But change will always be there. Change will always be there. Because there must always be a change. And if you fear to change.

[4:25] You will not make any difference in life. How long would you stay in secondary school? So. Don't be afraid of change.

[4:40] Embrace change. Embrace change. Some of the changes are just necessary. For your glory. Yeah. Not all the changes that are necessary.

[4:52] For your honor and glory. Seem to be advantageous. From its onset. The way they appear. Just remember. Some changes you went through.

[5:04] Especially. Because I'm speaking to Londoners. And most of you grew up in London. Growing up in London comes with romantic relationship.

[5:16] Desires and drive. Most of you were in some relationships. And relations had to break. It was hard. But now you are so happy. You are just so happy.

[5:29] Shout freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Shout freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Freedom. Years ago my pastor said something which has never left me.

[5:45] My pastor said there is nothing like absolute freedom. Yes. Yes. Yes. Nothing like absolute freedom which I believe and I accept.

[5:59] You are waiting to be free from your mother's control when you leave the house. As soon as you are free from your mother's control you come under the control of your own bills. You want to be free of going to work and someone calling you where are you.

[6:16] You haven't come to threaten you as a dismissal. And what kind of. Your manager is so controlling. You can't wait to start your own company. You move out from one freedom into another bondage.

[6:36] That's what Jesus said. Watch this. It's very interesting. In Matthew chapter 11 verse 28. He says that. All you who labor and are heavy laden. And I will give you rest. Did you see that?

[6:47] So he said I've got rest. Come. I'll keep you free. You'll be free. You'll come and rest. So let's see the way he defines his rest. Look at the next verse. He said. Come. The next verse. He said. Take my.

[6:58] Take what? My yoke upon you. And learn from. For I'm gentle and lonely. And you'll find rest. Yoke. Yes. Yes. Oh yes.

[7:10] Yes. The rest comes with a yoke. What does verse 30 say? For my yoke is easy. Free from demons.

[7:23] Free from Satan. But come for another burden. Because life. There's. In life. There's nothing like. Absolute freedom.

[7:35] There's nothing like. Absolute freedom. Nothing like. Absolute freedom. And so you must be willing. To embrace. Change. Most of the time.

[7:47] The kind of freedom. You need. Is the freedom. That will. Help you to fulfill. Your life. Some of us. Are in situations. And. Relationships.

[7:58] That are. Very. Restrictive. When I talk about. Restrictive. I'm not talking about. You are not free. To eat anything. You are not. Even. Remember. If you want to live long.

[8:08] You have to check your diet. You are not free. To eat anything you want. Are you. No. If you like. Try it. Eat anything you want. I know you can say that.

[8:20] I don't have any allergies. I eat everything. No. You eat everything. But you can't eat anything. Every time. No. All the time. You can't just.

[8:32] Live on sugar. You bought brown sugar. Different type of sugar. And then you mix them. And you just. It doesn't happen. You can't. If you want to stay fit.

[8:47] You have to exercise. You have. If you're always watching television. Sleeping. Lying down. And watching television. Not doing anything. You will die very very early. That's not freedom. That's actually another form of bondage.

[8:59] It's bondage. It's worse. Now the freedom you need. Is the liberty. The liberty you need. And the freedom. Is the one that allows you to do. Or fulfill your calling. Fulfill your assignment.

[9:10] Because everybody has got an assignment in life. So. There's always change in life. Life counts with changes.

[9:20] As I've said it a few times. And I'll say it again. There's a Nigerian. Adage. A proverb. Which says that. 20 children. Do not play together.

[9:31] For 20 years. It can't happen. Some of you remember. You used to have some best friends. Now you don't even know where they are. You are busy.

[9:44] Living your life. And fulfilling. You don't have an idea. Where they are. Alright. Change. So change is necessary. Someone say change is necessary.

[9:54] Change is necessary. In Genesis chapter 12 verse 1. Now.

[10:16] The Lord has said to Abraham. Get out of your country. My country. Get out of your country. From your family. That one too. And from your father's house.

[10:29] To a land which I will show you. Then he told him. His intentions. I will make you a great nation. I will bless you. And make your name great.

[10:41] And you shall be a blessing. Wow. I will bless. Those who bless you. And I will curse those who curse you. And in you. All the families of the earth. Shall be blessed. This was the program of God.

[10:54] For him. The intention of God. Could not be carried out. Until. The demands of heaven. Have been fulfilled.

[11:04] Over his life. And you know how God says. It starts by telling him that. Move out. He said. I will bless you. Right. The one who walks.

[11:17] The man who walks with God. Always has. A secure future. Never feel sorry. For a person. Working with God. Can I say that again?

[11:30] Please. Never feel sorry. For anyone. Working with God. Never feel sorry for them. They may be.

[11:41] In a certain. Transitional. Stage. That may look. Sorryful. Pitiable. Or pitiful. But.

[11:56] Once they are. Working with God. He said. Mark the righteous man. Mark the man. He said. His end.

[12:07] Thereof shall be peace. Hallelujah. You are not. Waiting your time. Coming to church. You are saving time.

[12:18] Coming to church. Because time will be spent. One way or the other. But if you don't spend time. Securing tomorrow.

[12:30] You will waste time. Managing tomorrow. When it becomes today. Today. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[12:40] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Because how today turns out. Has everything to do with the way you handled yesterday. Amen. Amen. Amen. Today is a product of yesterday.

[12:53] It is. And tomorrow. It's going to be a reflection of today. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. If you walk with God today. You will have a bit.

[13:06] The tomorrow that you are supposed to have. Amen. It's only God who can guarantee your future. Not your job. Not your certificate. Not your relationship.

[13:19] Not your friends. Not your contacts. It is only God who can guarantee your future. It is only God who can guarantee your future. They make us feel in United Kingdom and in the West and practically now almost everywhere.

[13:36] So in the name of civilization that it is your job and career that secures your future. It's a lie. It's a lie. It's a lie. Here's a way it can have a big impact on your future.

[13:49] But it doesn't secure your future. It doesn't. It never does. It's your. It's fulfillment of your assignment that secures your future.

[14:01] Some of you. Some of us. We live to chase money. Bible says if you chase money. It's like money makes wings. And how can you. You are walking. You are chasing a bear flying.

[14:13] Is it not true? Yeah. Your future. The security of your future is not in your job. When I learn I won't work.

[14:26] That is even worse. Papa said this. I love it. It's a blessing. Papa said. It is wrong work.

[14:39] He normally says it's work. It is wrong work. That burns people out. Not right. You can't be burnt out doing the right work. No one works harder than nursing mothers.

[15:00] Who have had that like. Two. Three other children under three. But maternal work.

[15:13] Even though it's so demanding. It's so fulfilling and rewarding. Yes. The fulfillment in it. Gives you reinvigoration. So you can't burn out.

[15:25] Being a mother. Doing the mother's job. You don't burn out doing the right work. Change is necessary.

[15:38] And some of us have come to the point. See when we talk about change. People are only looking. Judging from human standpoint. So you are looking for. Maybe a nicer house. A better car.

[15:53] More income. So you can splash it on holidays. Splash it on holidays. And designer wears.

[16:06] Look at the number of clothings you've got. You don't have space for it. There are a lot of people listening to me. You don't have space. For what you wear.

[16:19] The worst makes us feel. Or our morning day makes us feel. Having enough money. Having enough material. Things brings you fulfillment. But some of you have already found that it's a lie.

[16:31] It's a lie. May I submit to you. You should know this by now. If you live. If you are an adult. Okay.

[16:42] You live in London. May I submit to you. There are more people. There are a lot of people. Who don't have. What you have. They don't earn what you earn. They can't afford what you can over afford.

[16:55] And they are happier. Than you. Don't you know that? Sometimes. Just on the train. You can tell that. This person is miserable.

[17:06] You can also tell this person is very happy. Why? Life is interesting. So be careful what you. What you put value on.

[17:18] Anyway. Let me finish this change thing. Change. Someone shall change. God told Abraham. Leave. There are times. God will come and tell you. It's time for change. What you always have to remember.

[17:29] Is the word. That brings the change. Joshua chapter 1. Verse 1. Interesting. Joshua 1.

[17:40] 1. Someone shall change. Change. Joshua chapter 1. Verse 1. What does it say? All right.

[18:01] All right. So after. Moses died. Moses died. Everything must end. Oh no, no. Things we are now about to begin.

[18:13] Work with God. That's it. Moses. You mean Moses. He brought them out of Egypt. God called him. He said, bring them out of Egypt. They go to the Red Sea. They said, Moses, now you brought us in trouble.

[18:25] Pharaoh is behind us. Red Sea in front of us. And on the side, there's no way we can do wilderness. What are we going to do? Moses said, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. For these Egyptians you see, you shall see them again no more.

[18:36] He said that chapter 40. And Moses went and prayed to God. God said, what do you have here? And he said, our Lord. He said, stretch it. Go towards the sea. Stretch it towards the sea. And we did accordingly. And the sea parted into two.

[18:47] And they walked on dry grounds. When they walked on dry grounds, miles on dry grounds, when they came out of the sea, Pharaoh and his child also said, well, how come the sea opened?

[18:59] Maybe it's an extreme weather condition. Let's go inside. They thought it was that. They also went inside. Hebrew says that Pharaoh and his child, the Egyptians, Pharaoh and his child, they are saying, attempting.

[19:15] Hebrews chapter 11, verse 29, somewhere there. He said, by faith, the Red Sea was open. And then, by faith, they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land.

[19:28] Whereas the Egyptians are attempting, the King James, they are saying to do so. The Egyptians are saying to do, we're drowned. The same thing that you are succeeding through.

[19:42] Do you know, you lost your job and look at the way you still look fresh. Others lost their job and they are in hospital. Others lost their job and they lost their marriages.

[19:52] And Moses, he took them. He grew up in Pharaoh's house.

[20:04] He was a prophet. The Bible said he was well-learned in the wisdom of the Egyptians. All the wisdom, Acts chapter 7, verse 22. All the wisdom of the Egyptians, Moses knew it.

[20:15] The guy was good. He was eloquent. When he comes to, he understood it. He was very, very well-learned when he came to the wisdom and the way the Egyptians did everything. Talk about who.

[20:25] Egypt was the America of the, better, stronger than America. Moses. Someone say Moses. Moses. Dad. Moses died.

[20:38] Who are we going to cry to? The one who brought us from Egypt. He's taking us to the promised land. He's dead. What are we going to do? Bible says that, after the death, God has to wait for something to die.

[20:53] So that he can tell you the next chapter of your life. Tell someone, don't be afraid of change when you're walking with God.

[21:06] Some of the changes may be abrupt. May be gradual. But it will be certain. To be certain.

[21:20] He said, as for God, his way is perfect. The word of the Lord is tried. Psalm 18, verse 30. The word of the Lord is tried. He's a buckler to them that trust him.

[21:34] He's a shield. He's a buckler. To those who trust him. As for God, his way is perfect. The word God will take you to. The word of the Lord is tried. But God. Fear not.

[21:49] Fear not. You are too afraid. Moses, my servant, is dead.

[22:01] Moses, my servant, is dead. Say, Moses is dead. Moses is dead. But how many of you knew it wasn't a problem for God? No, it wasn't a problem.

[22:13] Actually, it was a necessary face for God's glory. After the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, it came to pass that the Lord spoke to Joshua. All along, God was not speaking to him.

[22:25] Moses died. But Moses died. Now God said, okay. And then he said, Moses, my servant, my servant, not your master, my servant is dead.

[22:36] Now, therefore, arise. Go over this door. And then he said, God, I'm going to go to the land. And then he said, God, I'm going to go to the land which I'm giving to them. The children of Israel.

[22:46] He said, rise and go. We are about to rise and take a step. And towards the end, do you know what Bible says?

[22:58] Joshua chapter 21 verse 43. Joshua chapter 21 verse 43. The Bible says that. So the Lord gave to Israel all the land of which he had sworn to give to their fathers.

[23:10] And they took possession of it. Go to the next verse. The next verse. And the Lord gave them their rest. Now, verse 45. Well, let's just step to 45. Not a word filled of any good thing which the Lord had spoken to the house of Israel.

[23:28] All came to pass. Not a word. Not a word.

[23:39] Everything God said about your marriage. About your health. About your children. About your career. About your business. About your ministry. About career ministry.

[23:50] And about the revival. About the revival. Everything God said came to pass. Shout, it shall come to pass.

[24:05] It shall come to pass. Shout, it shall come to pass. It shall come to pass. Yes. Amen. Whatever God has said to me. It shall come to pass.

[24:15] Yes. Sometimes you don't know how it shall be. But it shall come to pass. Yes. Look at Joshua chapter 6. Joshua chapter 6.

[24:27] Verse 1. Said. God said, take these people across the Jordan. Go and on. On their way going. Now, Jericho was securely shut up because of the children. Oh man, that's bad news.

[24:39] Bad news. Bad news. You know, in the United Kingdom. If you are coming from outside the EU.

[24:51] The laws are different for you. Yeah. Previously, it was kind of general. But now, it's completely different.

[25:05] So then, if they have made a law particularly to exclude you. You know, it's difficult for them to miss you. It was tailor made for you.

[25:19] Your shoe size was taken into consideration. Your iris were taken into consideration. Your fingerprints were taken into consideration. The color of your hair and the length of your hair was taken into consideration.

[25:33] Your physique was taken into consideration. Everything. So when you come, it is you. It says that Jericho, usually they don't shut the gate home. Right. But the gates, the door, Jericho was securely shut up because of the children of Israel.

[25:54] No one was going out. Immigration. They finished. No one was going out. No one was coming. And yet, that's where they were heading. God said, let's go. Now, guess what? Tell someone, God is not afraid of change.

[26:05] God is not afraid of change. Because he holds the future. Watch this. Now, the next verse. Look at verse 2. And the Lord said to Joshua.

[26:18] Did you see that? Yes. Jericho was shot. Moses died. God said to Joshua. Jericho was shot. God said to Joshua. In times like this, what you need?

[26:31] God said. What has God said? Hey, hey, listen. Doctors have said, oh, for you to get the word of God. Read your Bible.

[26:42] Listen to messages. Read your Bible. Listen to messages. Read your Bible. Listen to messages. Other than that, the predictions concerning your future is what you will get. From the aspects or from your family members, you need the word of God.

[26:58] Amen. Yeah. Hallelujah. So the word of God came. You see, God who calls things that be not as though they were. That's the kind of God I'm talking about.

[27:10] Romans chapter 4. He said, God, he calls things that be not as though. And gives life to the dead. Or quicken the dead. Romans 4, 17. Now, put it back on the screen. Joshua 8, chapter 6, verse 2. It says that the Lord said, see.

[27:21] He's telling you. See. I've given Jericho into your hand. Its kings and their mighty men. I have given them. But he's shot. He said, no, don't. Leave that. I said, see. I have given it into your hands.

[27:35] God is not afraid of what you are afraid of. Yes. Yes. Yes. You're so concerned. What if I don't get married?

[27:45] What if I don't have a child? What if I don't get a good job? What if? What if you do?

[28:00] Because you are going to do. Yes. You're going to get it. I'm going to get it. Say, is this going to happen for me? Yes. It will happen. Now, I'm going to give you that.

[28:10] How the guarantee. What is the guarantee that it will happen for you? So, quickly. Jericho was reaching this challenge. First of all, I want to draw your attention that change is normal with God. God came to Abraham.

[28:22] He was minding his own business. Hebrews 11, verse 8. The Bible says, by faith, Abraham moved. Hebrews 11, verse 8. By faith, Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should receive after for an inheritance, obeyed and went.

[28:38] What? Where did he go? Where did he go? How many sons of Abraham do you have in this house? Pay. Pay.

[28:49] Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Pay. Thank you, sir. Undefined destination. Does that mean God? What? Not with him?

[28:59] No. No. Actually, that was the move of God. Yes. The move of God. The move of God. The move of God. God wants sometimes God. Ah, I'm saying.

[29:09] Sometimes God wants you to learn how to look up to him and let's not just look at your destination. That's right. He asked you the bus was coming. He said, go on board the bus. Say, but which route is this?

[29:20] There's no number. Say, but he said, go on board. So you just go based on his saying, not because you are so familiar. Sometimes we make decisions based on the familiarity of the destination, the route.

[29:33] But you must familiarize yourself with the word of God, not the route of life. The word of God. What has God said is more important than how you know things work.

[29:48] Because how many of you know that the way things work always change. Things don't always work the way it always works for others. Maybe even for you.

[30:00] Some of you should know this already. For you alone, most of the times, anytime everybody is doing it. When you do it, everything. The brother said that every time I attempt to travel, if I go with some people, they won't travel.

[30:14] If they go alone, they will travel. If I go with them, they won't travel. You are too used to the way things work. So you are not exposing yourself to enough of God's word.

[30:29] The guarantee of your future is in God's word. As for God, his way is perfect. I'm prophesying to somebody. So, Abraham went, don't forget this, not knowing where he was going.

[30:44] But how did he go? He went by faith. And today, we are all singing his success story. People will sing your success story. People will sing your success story.

[30:57] The world will hear about you. The world will hear about us. The world will hear about us. The world will hear about us. Not because everything looks rosy, but because we are working with God.

[31:12] Because we work with God. Because we work with God. The world will hear about you. Shout yes. Yes. Yes. Thank you, Lord.

[31:23] Yes. Don't fear. Don't fear. Fear about the future of your job and your children. My children. My children. Huh? They are so sick.

[31:34] My children. They are future. Hey. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's so bright. You need sunglasses to look. Listen.

[31:45] Your children are okay. Your children. For God said, Jonathan. Jonathan. I want you. Jonathan. Jonathan.

[31:56] Jonathan made a mistake. He messed up. And God said, Jonathan. Jonathan. But for your father David's sake. Your father.

[32:07] May God say that about your children. May God say that about your children. The future of your children. Because of you. God will spare them. God will spare your children.

[32:18] Because of you. Say hallelujah. Hallelujah. Say. He said, I've been young and now I'm old. Ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka, ka.

[32:30] Never have I seen the righteous forsaken. No, he said. Make, make. Ka, ya, ka, ya, ka, na, ba, ba, ba, ba. No, he said. It is you and your descendants.

[32:44] It is you. So some of you. So some of you. Your investment in God is securing the future of your children. What you don't want. Is to be nearing the end of your life.

[32:58] In regret. Because your children are failing and messing up. That's what you. But I am glad to announce to you that it will never happen to you.

[33:15] You will be there to give your daughter a marriage. You will be there to see their marriage anywhere. You will be there to move your grandchildren first.

[33:27] You will be there. You will be there. Because God is with you. Say hallelujah. Hallelujah. We worry because of tomorrow.

[33:45] But don't worry because of God. Because of God. Don't worry. The tomorrow sometimes makes you feel worried.

[33:57] But because of God. Don't worry. Baby don't worry. Because of God. Don't worry. Because of God. Don't worry. Because of God.

[34:07] Don't worry. Don't worry. They once said it can't happen for you. They should come and see. They should come and see one.

[34:19] You remember when once. You were so down. Frustrated. Nothing seemed to be working. You were not getting a job. Now you are. You are. You are. Intervenable for a job. Have you forgotten? When you were in the wilderness alone.

[34:34] All by yourself alone. And the enemies. And the lions were after you. And the bear. And how God preserved you. And has kept you. Now you look back. It was like. It never happened. I'm telling you.

[34:44] The problem you see today. In future you look back. And it will be like. It never happened. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[34:54] Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yeah. Though I walk.

[35:06] To the valley. Of the shadow of death. I feel. Hallelujah. He said.

[35:22] Be content. Be content. Be content with such things that you have. He said. Don't be covetous. But be content with such things that you have. Hebrews 13.

[35:33] Verse 5 and 6. For he has said. I will never leave you nor forsake you. So we may boldly see.sticks. Amen. O seer say. The Lord is with you. The last.

[35:43] I will never leave you. I will never leave you. What I want us to do. What. What. What. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk.

[35:54] Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. Walk. This is going to be for you. Thank you. He hunting for you. Show him. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[36:05] Medical 전에. What can man do to me? In Luke chapter 18, Jesus said, why are you so fearful?

[36:19] What's your problem? Luke 18, I think 25 or 26, why are you so, Luke 8, why are you so fearful? Why are you so fearful?

[36:36] Somebody is blessed. So, he brings you from one state to the other. But sometimes, if you don't keep your eye on him, because you will not be familiar with the root, you will panic.

[36:54] You will panic. You will complain. You will murmur. Once you begin to panic and murmur and complain, you become vulnerable. You become a victim, cheap victim. Change always.

[37:05] There will always be change. Moses died. For your information, Moses died. And in John chapter 16, verse 5 downwards, very interesting text.

[37:18] Huh? John chapter 16, verse 5. But now, I go away to him who sent me. And none of you asked me, where are you going? But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart.

[37:35] Nevertheless, nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go. What is making you sorrowful is actually supposed to make you joyful. But it depends on your interpretation.

[37:51] Because then, you are operating as an ordinary human being, so you are reacting like ordinary human beings react to situations. That is why you are sorrowful. But it's that you are at the brink of a change, and it's not supposed to be sorrowful.

[38:06] I remember when we finished school, everybody was happy, rejoicing. Hey, liberty now. I finish now.

[38:17] I finish now. I finish now. That is how, when you are working with God, any change hits you, you begin to rejoice, because you know, God is about to pull one of his stuff. God is about to display.

[38:30] Jesus calls, he is going to the cross. He describes it as, the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified. John chapter 12.

[38:41] He said that, I think verse 23, 22, 23, somewhere there. 23 particularly, John chapter 12. But Jesus said, the hour has come for the son of man to be glorified. Then his next statement is, except a grain of wheat falls to the ground and dies.

[38:56] It abides alone. So Jesus was not looking at the death, but he was looking for the joy that was set before him, and John the cross, dispersing the shame. He was looking at the results.

[39:06] He was looking at the destination in God. Listen, that is why he told them, let not your heart be troubled. Only believe in God, and believe also in me, for I'm going to repair a place.

[39:17] If it was, in my father's house, there are many mansions. If it was not so, I wouldn't tell you. John chapter 14, verse 1 and 2, and then it opens up a discourse. It opens, listen, listen, it opens up a discourse.

[39:29] And they were asking, but where are you going? The way you are going, we don't know. The way we don't know. He said, listen, I am the way. I am the truth. I am the life.

[39:40] No one comes to the Father except by me. Do you know what he was saying? He said, as long as you are looking at me, I am the destination and the way. Listen, if you have Jesus, you have arrived.

[40:02] You are on the way to your destination and you have arrived. He is the way and he is the destination. Because if the way is a person, then the destination is equally a person.

[40:17] He said, oh, okay, you are saying that where you are going, but we don't even know where you are going. How can we know the way to that? He said, Thomas said, Lord, we don't know where you are going.

[40:29] And how can we know the way? He said, I am the way. I am the way, the truth, and the life. Then he said, okay, okay, enough of that. Okay, you just show us the Father.

[40:40] Just show us the Father and it will suffice for us. And he said, Philip, I have been with you all this while and you don't know me. He who has seen me, fear not.

[40:59] The change is, oh, I like this one. Oh, oh, one of the major important reasons of change when you are working with God is this.

[41:13] Because when you can't see where you are going and all you have is a word from God, so how do you embrace a change? How do you take advantage of change when you are working with God?

[41:25] Number one, a word from God. When you are working with God and it's taking you to somewhere you don't know, what happens is that your determination to hold on to God helps you build some muscles.

[41:41] Hallelujah. Because I told you I was going, sorrow has filled your heart. But you didn't realize that it's expedient for you that I go.

[41:55] because this change is necessary for you to be able to gain an upper hand in life. God always starts from, even in courage ministry, we have come to a stage where, oh, you remember, we are about to move.

[42:10] We are about to do a change. Hallelujah. It gets me excited. It gets me excited. Hallelujah. I'm telling the truth. It gets me excited because it is expedient for the nature of the revival.

[42:27] How can the world come here? The world can fit here. We are moving to revival center. This is great land, but we are moving to Kaba Baba Baba.

[42:44] Kaba Baba. Revival center. Come out of your father's house.

[42:55] Where are we going? I don't know. We are going to, because Abraham, Bible says that by faith, Abraham dwelt in tents. Hebrews chapter 11. Hebrews chapter 10.

[43:06] By faith. Listen. By faith. Abraham obeyed. By faith. Verse 9. He dwelt in tents. Dwelled in the land of promise as in a foreign land. Dwelling in tents with Isaac.

[43:17] Isaac and Jacob. The earth of the same promise. Go to Luke 1st. Why? For he waited. He waited for a city which our foundation whose builder and maker was God.

[43:34] Shout hallelujah. What does this mean? He left his comfort state. He left his small home. He left his country. And he went.

[43:45] But as long as he knew he hasn't arrived where he was. Guess what? He didn't know where he was going. One. Two. Because he didn't know where he was going, his spirit knew something.

[43:56] But if his spirit hadn't got the witness, he wasn't setting. So he dwelt in tents. Tent. Tent. Temporal accommodation. Temporal place.

[44:08] Temporal place. Temporal place. Not with the earth of the promise. Isaac and Jacob came and continued. With him in the tent.

[44:20] They were there even though Jacob was not born. Jacob was with him in the tent. They were there. They were there. You need your earth of promise to travel with you in tents.

[44:36] We are about to move into the tent ministry. Check out through history. Every revival had some tents connected to it.

[44:50] Check through history. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Shout hallelujah. How can you tell me you have been conferring revival and you just want to stay in the room?

[45:04] There are transitional moments. It comes through sentents. There are transitional moments. There are moments of change. But in the tent, Isaac is not ashamed to be in the tent.

[45:14] Jacob is not ashamed to be in the tent. Because they were the heirs of promise. They were the heirs of promise. They were the heirs of promise. Shout hallelujah. By faith.

[45:32] By faith. By faith. By faith. It can only be done by faith. employees. By faith. By faith. God di gon ma gak shetags.

[45:44] молод diye of faith. We progress by faith.

[45:56] We take over the city by faith. We go to the Red Sea by faith. We enter Kenyanland by faith.

[46:07] By faith. We obey God by faith. We move by faith. Shout hallelujah.

[46:22] Shout hallelujah. Everybody will go through some changes but we are glad to do it by faith.

[46:37] We don't judge the way ordinary people judge. And guess what? God sends a prophet to lift you. Now this is a prophetic move of God.

[46:48] That means that people are about to change. And it's always, we always go further and better. The time has come.

[47:04] The time has come. We are not a monument you look back to remember. We are a movement. What is this?

[47:15] It's a revolution. I don't hear. I say, what is this? It's a revolution. This is not an ordinary church over you. Get it? We can set up a tent ministry on the street.

[47:28] Anyway, we are a bunch of crazy Jesus people. a man. Hey! You can't stop us.

[47:40] You can't intimidate us. We are crazy. We are mad. We are hungry. We work by God. We work with God. We work by faith.

[47:52] And not by science. So yes. We are a free people. Nothing can imprison us. Give up!

[48:05] One thing I will leave with you. When the change is due, what gives you an advantage is your work of faith. Fear will paralyze you.

[48:19] Fear will give your opponent an advantage. When David met Goliath, Goliath spoke and kissed him by his cause. David said in 1 Samuel 17 from 40 downwards, David said, you come to me with a spear and an arrow and a bow, but I come to you in the name of the Lord God Almighty, the God of Israel, whose armies you have defiled.

[48:44] Today, I'm going to kill you and I'll give you. He said, Goliath said, I am a dog. You are coming to me with a character. David said, you wait. I'm going to kill you. You philistus. I'm going to kill you.

[48:55] David said, you come to me and David said to him, you come to me, come to me and I will give your flesh to the best of the air and the beasts of the field. And David, what did he do?

[49:05] And David, the student said, David said to him, you come to me with a sword and a spear and with a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of, the armies of Israel, whom you have defiled.

[49:20] And then what happened? David ran to him and this day, God will deliver you into my hands and I will strike you and take your head from you.

[49:31] And this day, I will give the carcass of your come, of the come of Philaean to the best of the air and the wild beasts of the air that all the air may know that there is a God in Israel.

[49:47] Shodian! That's faith talking. Bible said, by faith, that will not permit me to tell you about David, about Gideon, about Jephthah, who through faith subdued kingdom.

[50:03] Ephesians, Hebrews 11, 32, who through faith subdued kingdom, quench the mouth, the violence of fire, subdued the mouth of lions, were made valiant in battle, wept righteousness.

[50:16] What are you talking about? Through faith. David, this is the most mention. That's how it will go last. Faith. Verse 45 of verse 117. Verse 45.

[50:26] He says that, you come to me but I come to you in the name of God. Verse 46. Verse 46. Verse 46. This day, God will deliver you to my hands. Go to verse 47. Quickly. Then all the assembly.

[50:37] God, people who know that there's a God in Israel and not just that, people who are standing here too, they'll know how God saves. That God doesn't save through source and spear but God, for the battle is the loss and he will give.

[50:54] Tell someone I'm not afraid of change. I'm not afraid of change. Because I'm a woman of faith. I'm a woman of faith. That's it. That's it. Tell someone, bring it on.

[51:04] I'll be able to do that. Let me finish this. Look, look, go to the next verse. Go to the next verse. So it was when the Philistines came to meet David, that David hurried and ran towards the army of Israel.

[51:19] He ran towards him. Brothers, we have to run towards the future. We are running towards the future. Don't fear. Don't fear. We are going with joy and excited. Running towards the future.

[51:31] Running towards the future. Running towards the future. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry. To hear more from David Entry, follow him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and LinkedIn.
