The Arena Is Packed

[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for listening to another faith-generating word by David Entry. God has packed life in the words of an anointed man of God. Prepare your heart to receive and for your life to change through this anointed message.

[0:14] Be blessed. Father, we pray that you speak to us.

[0:25] Holy Spirit, I open up myself. Fill me to the overflow as I speak your word.

[0:36] Let my speaking be your speaking. Heal the sick. Deliver the captives. Let your voice be made so clear to us that direction may come.

[0:48] Save the lost. Convict the sinning. Glorify your name. Father, Holy Spirit, if there's anything we desire more than any other thing, it's your voice.

[1:02] We want to hear you. So speak for your servants are hearing. Just a word from you will settle every argument. We thank you.

[1:15] In Jesus' name. Amen. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Tell someone it's nice to see you. It's nice to see you. And to see you nice.

[1:25] And to see you nice. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Sometimes I have so much to say. I know what I'm going to talk about, but I kind of sometimes just think about some interesting titles.

[1:42] I feel like titling the message, which after all, you can find your own title. Okay. But I just feel like titling this message. The arena is packed.

[1:54] Hey. You see? Very interesting title. The arena is packed.

[2:04] Or you can choose a stadium. The stadium is packed. Wembley is packed.

[2:18] When Wembley is packed. When a stadium is packed. When an arena is packed. What does it call out? Huh? What does it call out? What do you say, sir?

[2:30] There is a game on. Why is the place packed? Every now and then I chance on football matches. And then there are times you say the stadium is very empty.

[2:43] But other times the stadiums are packed. Some of the football matches, you look at some of the stands. Even World Cup. You look at some of the stands. Would you not work? And why?

[2:55] What do you say, pastor? The kind of game that is on. The kind of game that is on is what determines how packed the stadium is.

[3:13] It is a very important game. If you are talking about England versus Germany. It is a big one, isn't it? Okay. So England versus Germany.

[3:25] Argentina. Or Argentina. Versus Brazil. The stadium will be packed. But what are people packed in the stadium to do or to watch the match?

[3:38] To do what? How about boxing? Packed. Vladimir and Fury. The place is packed.

[3:48] What for? Big fight. And what are they coming to do at the stadium? At the arena? Huh? To what?

[4:00] To cheer. To cheer who? The one they support. So why is the place packed? To come and witness the one they support win. And if it's a very important match or game, more people turn up.

[4:16] Why? Because this is an important, it's an important game. Our team must win. Tell someone the arena is packed. What most of us don't know is that you are in the arena.

[4:34] Unfortunately, there's no seat for you in the stand. You don't have a seat there. You are on the field. Hey! Thank you, Lord.

[4:48] You are on the field. There's no seat there for you anyway. Because the arena is packed. There's no space. So sorry, you can't get a seat. You are actually supposed to be playing on the field.

[5:01] And they have guarded because of you. Watch me. Tell someone the arena is packed. The arena is packed.

[5:12] All right. Let's go to the stadium. All right. Let's go to the stadium and let's see. I want us to look at the audience first.

[5:26] The audience. All the crowd at the stadium who are coming to watch.

[5:37] Who are they? Hebrews chapter 12. Hebrews chapter 12. Reading from verse number 1. Just reading verse number 1. Hebrews is loaded with therefores.

[5:51] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We are going to read it out loud from the screen. Is that okay? If your Bible is yours, open it. Okay. Let's read it from our Bibles first.

[6:03] Don't put it on the screen. Let's go to our Bibles. Let's read it from the Bible. It doesn't matter what version you have. We are going to read it out loud. And then later on, we all read it from the screen. All right.

[6:13] Are you ready? Okay. I think someone are now opening your Bible. So I'll wait for you. Yeah. The arena is packed. It's packed. We want to check the audience.

[6:25] If there's anyone in the stadium, in the stands, who doesn't have a ticket? I've got a ticket.

[6:39] Let's read from our Bibles. Are you there? Hebrews chapter 12, verse 1. Yes. Everybody in there? Yes. If you are there, say hallelujah. Hallelujah. If you are not there, say help me, Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Okay.

[6:51] Some are not there. Should we wait for you? If you are not there, say, hold on, hold on, hold on. All right. Let's read. Let's go. Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witness, let us lay aside every weight and the thing which so easily beset us.

[7:10] And let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. Wow. Wow. Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

[7:20] Hallelujah. How should we run? Verse 2. Let's go. Looking unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him, endured the cross, despising the sin, and is set at the right hand of God, the right hand of the throne of God.

[7:42] Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen.

[8:12] Amen. Amen. Amen. They are watching you. Run. Come on. Go, David. Finish out. Finish out.

[8:25] You are getting closer to the tip. Finish out. Finish out. And then you see your opponent coming, closing the gap. You run hard.

[8:35] Sometimes you are tired, but you don't say, no, no, I'm tired. Then you stop. We're so great a cloud of witnesses. Let us run.

[8:52] Let us put aside. Because to run effectively, you have to put aside something. Bro? You are too big for the race.

[9:08] You have to shed some load. I'm not talking about physical race. Everybody, as soon as you get born again, as soon as you are born, you are in a race.

[9:23] But you have not started a race if you are not born again. You have wasted all your life. When you die, it says, sorry me.

[9:33] Or you didn't run a race. But when you get born again, you are put in a race. And guess what? The cloud of witnesses, they are observing you run.

[9:46] It's not everybody they are observing. But this is a big match. Okay. So, it says that seeing that we are surrounded. Say, I'm surrounded.

[9:58] Say, I'm surrounded. I'm surrounded. Surrounded by what? Surrounded by what? All right. Put you on the screen. Let's read it from the screen. Hebrews chapter 12, verse 1. Let's go. Therefore, we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily ensnares us.

[10:20] And let us run with endurance the race that is set before us. So, it said we are surrounded with so great.

[10:31] Since we are. You know, it didn't say maybe. It's saying that I suppose you know. Since we are. Since we are. We are already surrounded.

[10:42] It's too late. For you not to want to run. It's too late. It's too late. Since we are surrounded. Since we are surrounded by so great.

[10:53] And this is not a small crowd. Great crowd. That tells you your race is an important race. Since we are surrounded by so great.

[11:06] A cloud of witnesses. Who are these witnesses? Who are these witnesses? We, you can tell. Let us run. So, we are those.

[11:18] At the center of the arena. And then we have these guys. Spectators watching us. They are cloud of witnesses. It's like a baton has been passed on to you. Now, run.

[11:30] A relay race. Run. When they give you the baton. Don't stop the victory. Don't interrupt and interfere with the victory. Because it has been given to you at a good time.

[11:42] Run. Run. It's your turn. 2016. There is no excuse to say I am tired.

[11:56] There is no excuse. To say, oh no. I can't. And you, you, what? What did you say? You can't. What do you mean? What do you mean you can't? You can't.

[12:09] You can. Run. The reason why you think you can't. Is because of the wit. The wit.

[12:20] So put aside the wit. Identify what's wit in your life. Do you know some people can eat chocolate? They can eat a lot of it and it doesn't affect them.

[12:33] Some other people do only one bar and then it's already showing everywhere. Even their ears are putting on wit. Someone can eat chocolate. It won't have any impact.

[12:44] But that person may eat a dream cook. It will have an impact. So since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witness. And let us lay aside every wit and the sin that easily beset us.

[12:58] And let us run with endurance. That key, that word is key. Endurance. The race that is set before us. What am I talking about? Now watch this. I found out that this thing is just not talking about ordinary race or anything.

[13:12] What is talking about? Look at the next place. How should we run? Should we run with endurance? In what way? Looking unto Jesus. The what? What does it mean?

[13:23] The author and finisher. Starts it and finishes it. Ah. So this thing. Starts it and finishes it. That's a faith race. It's a race of faith. That run is about faith.

[13:34] Because he said, look, he is the one who starts our faith and finishes it. So this thing is not talking about faith though. It's not talking about food. It's talking about faith.

[13:46] Run with perseverance. The race set before you. Run it. It's a run of faith. It's a race of faith. You have to run. Paul said, I've finished my course.

[13:59] I've run my race. Run it. And I've kept the faith. Run it. 2 Timothy 4 verse 7 and 8. Run it. You have to run.

[14:11] It's a race of faith. And watch this. The arena is packed because certain people, certain people are watching you, keenly observing you, and they are on your side.

[14:24] And he said, watch this. We are surrounded by a cloud. A cloud of witnesses. They are all witnessing. They are all watching you. These are witnesses. They are watching us.

[14:36] And they are cheering us on. Come on. Run, brother. Come on. Run, brother. It's a faith walk. Come on. Go ahead. Don't be afraid. Take the step. Jump. Jump. You can make it.

[14:47] Jump. You can make it. Take a step. You can make it. Go ahead. Op. Get next. Sharing us up. Sharing us on. We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses.

[14:59] And it's a run of faith. now let's find out who these witnesses are Hebrews 11 2 Hebrews 11 2 for by it the elders obtain a good testimony King James says they obtain a good report the elders the elders the elders the elders those who are old those who are ahead they've done it they are the seniors the seniors obtain a good report by faith say the elders then he starts enumerating them or he starts enlisting them he said verse 4 by faith Abel okay verse 5 by faith Enoch verse 7 by faith Noah verse 8 by faith Abraham verse 11 by faith Sarah so then he took he explained Sarah Abraham the story and Abraham and the Israelites he took it and then went to verse 19 alright verse 19 in fact verse 17 talks about how by faith Abraham when he was when he was when he was tested he offered up Isaac by faith

[16:22] Abraham then he spoke about by faith Isaac himself then the next one he said by faith by faith Jacob then by faith Joseph so these are serious guys these are serious they all obtained a good report verse 25 by faith Moses by faith 23 by faith Moses by faith 25 he was not afraid so they talk about Moses then he talked about by faith the walls of Jericho as though the walls of Jericho are persons but the world some things came down for somebody to move on thank you by faith by faith you see he said when they told him that the bosses wanted him he's been there too long in that job he was supposed to be there for two weeks three months three months he's there two years and then he and his colleague were called he knew that no ask for me he started he went there by faith that no one can touch me yeah yeah no one can touch me can't touch this some of you don't know that you are untouchable you are untouchable tell someone I'm untouchable

[17:44] I'm untouchable listen brothers and sisters you must walk with this mindset and then let anything dare try it you will see where power lies don't be afraid the Bible says that by faith the walls of Jericho came down and by faith the Bible says that by faith they went in the midst they passed through the sea on dry ground they passed through the Red Sea on dry ground which the Egyptians Bible King James are saying to do so they were drowned the same thing that killed the others they went through it successfully Hebrews chapter 11 verse 30-31 29 rather they went through it said by faith they passed through the Red Sea as by by dry land whereas the Egyptians that's King James

[18:45] I think King James said assaying that's a I like that assaying to do were drowned they were attempting to do because they saw others doing it they saw you as a business they said oh this it can be done they attempted it and they lost so much money they didn't realize that you are not just doing business but you you are the just shall live by faith it's not money you've just got but it's faith you've got that is what is making it happen for you and now watch this so have you have you noticed the names we've mentioned so far Abel offered Enoch Noah Abraham Sarah Abraham Isaac Jekyll Joseph Moses the children of Israel verse 32 of Hebrews chapter 13 and what more shall I say for time will fail me to tell of Gideon Barak Samson Jephthah also of David and Samuel and prophets who verse 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms wroth righteousness obtained promises stopped the mouth of lion quenched the violence of fire escaped the edge of sword out of weakness were made strong became valiant in battle turned to fly the armies of the and so started enlisting the things that people could do by faith he said time will not permit me to tell you all these guys about all these guys they are amazing guys and then verse verse 40 verse 39 verse 39 he says that watch this all these say all these who are the all these the guys the elders these giants these giants for your information the book of hebrews chapter 11 is the history of faith the photograph of faith the whole of telling about what people could do by faith what does that got to do with me hebrews tell him about how jesus christ died for us and he is a high priest then suddenly begins to tell us that gave us the album of faith the history of faith then he says that all these that's the interesting point what she said all these having obtained a good testimony through faith did not receive their promise now look at verse 40 verse 40 is the most serious one let's all read verse 40 together god provided something better for us that they should not be made perfect apart from us now that word perfect there is not like they are perfect it means that their work is not complete whose work is not all these big guys of faith their work is not complete apart from us so what we are doing is come on go ahead go ahead work hard work hard because if you haven't finished you are not leaving if you haven't finished you are not leaving and watch this as long as they are there watch this as long as they are there our work is not complete what we have done is still not complete because we've got some team some of the guys still on the ground it's like soldiers who have gone to

[22:01] Iraq they are going to release their prisoners but there are two more there who are supposed to come back to base and as long as they haven't we can't announce we are finished so we are still here we haven't finished because of the work we have done we have keen interest in what they are doing now let's share down they have to finish this because if they don't finish we can't finish their message my message is not complete if they don't finish it please let them hurry up go don't be tired go don't be tired don't for the kids don't for the kids don't steal their money don't fight your wife don't insult your husband don't give up move my faith don't stop coming to church no go ahead go ahead don't eat your tight go ahead no don't go for that girlfriend no you don't need a girlfriend your wife is enough hey don't watch porn don't want the pornography oh no sharing sharing you sharing you the arena is packed everybody witnessing you shout hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah so he says that all these they are not complete god has something better for us verse 40 ebrews 11 he said god has provided something better for us that they should not be made perfect complete without us.

[23:55] Because of that, the next verse says, look at the next verse. Therefore, we also, since we are aware that they are watching us, we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witness.

[24:08] The crowd is so thick, it looks like a cloud. So, since, therefore, watch this, therefore, listen, remember, people have paid the price for you to complete their work.

[24:28] And this is a work of faith. Why are you so quick to give up? Why are you forming alliance with unbelievers? You are making their labor in vain.

[24:42] And they can't give up on you, unfortunately, because you are so much part of their success. We read about them, didn't we? By faith, Enoch, but they are all, you actually make Abraham complete.

[24:56] Your work of faith is what makes Sarah complete. It's your work of faith that makes David, that makes Samson, we're talking about Samson, you are more important in this race than Samson.

[25:12] That's what he's saying. God has provided something better for us. So we are reading about them. Why are we reading about them? Because they are the cloud of witnesses.

[25:24] They are the spectators. The arena is packed. They are finished. They are watching you and they are cheering you up. Come on, finish up. Finish what? The faith walk. The faith walk.

[25:35] 2016, the faith walk will prevail. Finish up. Amen. Amen. It should never be said of you that you missed a service. Amen.

[25:46] Please, if you consider, factor that in. Listen, I don't see myself and it will not happen and I'm not ready for that. I don't see myself spending time in hospital.

[25:58] Why? Because I have to be in church. I have to be in church. I won't spend a day in the hospital, especially if it's church time. Because it's part of my covenant.

[26:09] That's what I am doing. You see, many poor underestimate and the trivialized church thinking, just a gathering, you just sing and go home. You see, you are an unbeliever. That's why you think like that.

[26:19] Right. Right. You are an unbeliever. You don't know that when we gather here, it's not just asso. Yes. They are all, Bible said that, they are all coming together.

[26:29] The assembly of the firstborn whose names are written in heaven. Hebrews chapter 12, verse 20, 20, 21, it said, but you have come to Mount Zion, the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels.

[26:47] That's what is happening. Yes. They are all angels. They are all around. All around. And guess what? Not just that. Look at the next one. Yes. It said, to the general, do you know what general assembly is?

[26:58] Yes. It's like, when the queen is coming to parliament, Yes. Yes. But when they say United Nations General Assembly, that means that everybody, everybody is coming. Yes. Yes. They don't leave, which is different from security council.

[27:11] Yes. Yes. It's not everyone who can be there. Yes. But this is a general assembly. Everybody. It's just like when the queen is going to parliament to go and read the, uh, uh, present. The, everybody must be there.

[27:24] Yes. Everybody. Oh, you must be there. Prime minister, opposition. Everybody must be there. Because the queen is coming. In the same way, he said, you have come into the general, why are you not here?

[27:36] Mm-hmm. General Assembly and the church of the firstborn, whose name, are, who are registered in heaven? Are you registered?

[27:47] Yes. I'm registered. Tell someone, I'm registered in heaven. I'm registered in heaven. No. This is serious. When you say, whose name are registered, that means that not everyone's name is registered. Yeah. Yeah.

[27:58] The fact that you are human, doesn't mean your name is registered in heaven. It's only those who have been washed by the blood of the lamb. Yes. Those who have been washed by the blood of the lamb, who are called the brothers of Jesus, who are called the sons of God.

[28:11] It's only them. Those are those whose names are registered. And church is for those folks. Praise God. Church is not another social means for social gathering. Sometimes those things can come in handy.

[28:22] Yeah, it's good. But that's not why we come to church. We come to church because we are reporting in the General Assembly. That's right. That's right. We report in the General Assembly. Thank you, man.

[28:34] And then what we report? They are witnesses. They are also here. Look at it. It said, and the spirits of just men made perfect. And to the spirits of just men, the just men are, the just shall live by faith.

[28:46] Those who have finished their work and their spirits. So their spirits, their spirits are here. You can't talk to them. But they are witnesses. So they are here. The spirits of just men, they have been made perfect. In other words, they have finished their work and gone.

[28:58] But their spirits, they are witnesses, witnessing what is on. Listen, this is a big crowd. The arena is really packed because of you. Tell someone, finish hard.

[29:11] Finish hard. Now, how do you go about this work of faith? Because that's what, work of faith, it's placed out in different ways. But I want to give you an aspect of the just shall live by faith.

[29:24] In 2 Corinthians 5, verse 7, it says, for we walk by faith and not by sight. This whole thing is a faith walk. This whole thing is a faith walk.

[29:36] So that grace can work. You need faith. It's just by the grace of God. It's just by the grace of God. It's just by the grace of God. But why is it not happening? Why is it not showing up in somebody's life?

[29:48] Because it takes faith to enjoy the grace. In Romans chapter 4, verse 16, it says, therefore it's of faith that it might be according to grace.

[29:59] So for grace to work, faith must come into play. Grace sets the table, sets the banqueting, but it takes faith to eat. From the banqueting table which grace has set.

[30:11] So you didn't bring anything to the table. You didn't bring anything. Everything has been provided. That's grace. But for you to eat, you need the spoon, the spoon and the cutlery and the plates of faith.

[30:24] Hallelujah. Amen. This year, your faith will work for you. Amen. How are you supposed to work your faith this year? It's very important. Now, Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1, it said, now, faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

[30:41] Those of you who came for the faith seminar, I explained the substance, hopostasis. Okay, the actual Greek is hopostasis which means that it's not just substance.

[30:52] What is this? This is a Bible. Do you agree with me that it's a substance? It's a Bible. It's a substance. Okay. Now, once I, if I don't have this Bible, I don't have the substance.

[31:04] But, holding it, touching it, is what, it's like, I am substantiating it. I'm substantiating it. I'm experiencing their substance.

[31:16] Faith is the act of experiencing a certain substance that exists. Where does it exist? In what God has said. I'm going to show you something I found about faith, very interesting.

[31:29] Something I discovered about faith. When you have faith, when you have genuine faith, sometimes you can't explain it. Most times. You can't explain it. You can't define it.

[31:39] You can't let people, you can't tell people, like, try to make them understand. But, for some reason, you know it. If you are genuinely born again, sometimes it's difficult to tell people.

[31:52] When I say tell people, it's like, tell exactly what has happened to you. It's like, I just know it. I know it. I can't explain it, but I know it. That's, you've touched something.

[32:04] It's called the, the, it's not the natural sense. Okay. You use your eyes to look at, to see light. Without your eyes, you can't see light. Am I right?

[32:16] Try it and see if you close your eyes. You won't see anything. Without your eyes, you can't, you can't see light. Without faith, you can't see God. You can't contact God. So, the way the eyes to light, the eyes is to light, the same way faith is to God, so long as human beings are concerned.

[32:32] Without your faith, you can't contact God. That is why it's a race of faith. They are cheering you. Don't give up on your faith. Push, because anything God can do for you is predicated on your faith.

[32:47] Now, how does this work? Once you have faith, you contact faith, there is something inside you. People sometimes may mock you. People may look down on you. They may not understand why, in spite of the challenge, the sister, if she was sleeping with somebody, she would have said, the person would have said, you know, take time, sleep, don't go to church, pray tonight, because she said she wasn't well at all, but she started declaring by faith, seeing the messages in his head, instead of staring something up in her, she went.

[33:16] The lady said she woke up, her head was just pounding, pounding. That was a nice encounter, you know. Her head was pounding. She went to bed again, and she had an encounter that God's servant was speaking to her, praying for her, and says, now you're okay, get up.

[33:34] And she gets up, and is gone. How do you explain the way these things happen? How can you explain how these things happen? Oh, it's hallucination what? Yes, hallucination actually increased the headache.

[33:51] All right, this is tangible healing. Tangible healing. We are talking about instantly, because she had an encounter, and she was believing God.

[34:02] faith is, watch this, there is a realm that we haven't contacted. We are all in a certain realm. Are you aware that there are some designers you don't know about?

[34:19] Yeah, they are for certain people. They are for some exclusive guys. When you are planning to, maybe, for a big event, you are going for your OBE.

[34:33] For those of you who have that dream, you are going for your OBE, and then they say, don't worry, I will take you to a certain tailor. He's the one who sows for most of those who go for the, you go there, you are shocked.

[34:43] Is that, is this a shock? Does this exist? Say, no one knows. They don't advertise. You just walk in. There is a lot you are not aware of. There is a lot.

[34:55] There is a lot. Listen, there is a lot you are not aware of. And we are just restricted to the things we know. And if you make all your decisions in life based on just what you know, you will know that you will suffer a lot of losses.

[35:10] You will suffer. Many people lose certain cases because of what they don't know. Some of you decided to go and represent yourself at the court. You lost bad. You fell flat because you didn't know the Lord well.

[35:24] The lawyer, you had a case but you didn't know how to argue it out. That's a lot. Now, he says, faith is the substantiating of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

[35:43] The evidence of things not seen. So, it's there. I mean, if the thing doesn't exist, why do we have evidence? It's there. Good to see you, Pastor.

[35:55] The evidence of things not seen. So, listen, 2016, there is so much ready for you. This year, it is there.

[36:06] But, I want to, with the few moments I've got, teach you how to access it. It is there. Someone shout, what is there? It is there. It's there.

[36:16] It's there. He says that, verse 3, by faith we understand that the wells were framed by the word of God so that things that, things that, things that are seen, so that things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.

[36:39] so then, he's talking about seeing things and invisible things. He's saying that there are, watch this, I like this, there are invisible things that are making the seeing happen.

[36:57] There are invisible things. So, these giants of faith, the people who have finished their fight of faith and their race of faith, they are cheering you on because they know their thing is there. they know it's there.

[37:11] Sometimes, you are getting so close and you didn't realize that you are that close because you didn't know the finishing thing but you didn't realize you are so close so you feel like giving up but they are standing around the corner and they know you are just close by.

[37:24] Don't give up. Don't give up. Maybe you are digging through a tunnel. You've dug and dug and dug and dug and dug and you are just a meter away from daylight but you are not now so tired.

[37:36] you try and give up. It's like you waited for the bus 27. Waited and waited and waited. It didn't come. It decided to move to go and stand over there to get the bus 122. And as soon as you moved for the bus 122, bus 127 came after waiting for 30 minutes.

[37:54] You tried to run back but that bus driver was a very strong one. He actually went through the water, splashed water on you. And then you are saying, oh, I should have waited.

[38:07] That's how it is. The witnesses have seen you are so close to a miracle. You are so close. Listen, this year, it's for you. But if you don't take care, fear will detach you from what has been reserved for you.

[38:25] It's there. How do you know it's there? It's there by faith. We understand. The words were framed by the word of God. So the things that are seen were not made by things that are visible.

[38:36] So there are invisible things that are responsible for the things that are seen. But how do you contact these invisible things? It takes the sense of faith. Because faith is another sense.

[38:47] It's a sixth sense. Physically, you can touch some things, you can experience some things and make decisions by the things you, what you smell, what you see, what you hear, what you feel, you know, and what you have tasted.

[38:59] Five senses. But there's another sense, which is the faith sense, which you are supposed to make major decisions by without not seeing them physically. But the faith sense is stronger than the natural sense.

[39:14] That is why it says, for we walk by faith and not by sight. Remember, in 2 Corinthians 4, verse 18, it says that, for the things that are seen, no, it says, for what we look not at the things that are seen.

[39:26] So the seen, remember, it said, the things that are seen were not made by things that are visible. So that, if you only make your decisions based on the way you are feeling, if you make your decisions based on what you are seeing, if you make your decisions based on what they are saying, you will miss out on destiny.

[39:46] That's what I'm here to tell you. 2016, I stand here as prophet of God and I tell you, it's a good year. It's a good year. It's a good year. Go for it.

[39:58] It's a way for you. It's a good year. Shout hallelujah. Shout Lord, I believe. Shout Lord, I believe. It said, 2 Corinthians 4, verse 18, it says that, we do not look at, whilst we do not look at the things that are seen, but the things which are not seen, that is where human beings start getting problems.

[40:20] Those of you who are surrounded ourselves with unbelievers, because you are looking at things that are not seen, they will have problems with you. Because the Bible says, whilst we look not at the things that, so the things that are seen, you don't look at that one.

[40:35] You rather begin to make decisions, focus on the things that are not seen. The unbelievers will have problems with you. Some carnal believers, they'll say, I've been in church longer than you.

[40:48] All this thing, I may understand. What you are doing is nonsense. It is nonsense. Who told you? The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 2, verse 14, that the carnal mind cannot pick up the things of God, cannot understand because they are foolishness to him.

[41:02] He said, but the natural man does not receive, the what? The what man? The what man? I can't hear you. Natural man. What's the meaning of natural man?

[41:14] Being natural, let's be real here. I'm natural. You are thinking like everybody thinks, behaving like everybody behaves, doing like everybody does. That's how it works. So natural. And he says that, put it back on.

[41:25] He said, the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him. That means that if you are going to walk by faith, you will look foolish in the eyes of certain people.

[41:37] You will look very foolish. But it doesn't matter. Now, you don't just do things through assumption and hoping that is faith. No, you will be making a serious mistake.

[41:49] So before you say I'm walking by faith, you should have contacted something in God's word. Something in God's word, which is the substance. Something that you are working with.

[42:00] Something that you are working by. You need a word from God to step on to be able to move from one level to the other in spite of the negative prevailing conditions. You need a word.

[42:13] You need a word to walk by. You need a word to live by. Remember, the arena is packed. They are watching you. Take their word. That is why we come, one of the major reasons why we come to church, to hear God's word.

[42:27] The reason was we have fellowship to be able to speak, encourage one another so that one another can run. Shout hallelujah. Shout hallelujah. So, it's so important to understand that the natural man cannot perceive the things of the spirit for their foolishness to him.

[42:46] And I like the way he puts it. Nor can he know them. Why? Because you need spiritual sense to pick them up. They are spiritually discerned. Is someone learning something?

[42:59] These things are spiritually discerned. Let's look at Jesus. How he exercises faith. Two ways, quickly. Two types of faith. We have the dominating faith and creating faith.

[43:12] Dominating faith and creating faith. Let's all say that together. Dominating faith and creating faith. Dominating faith and creating faith. The dominating faith is the faith that dominates circumstances in spite of time constraints.

[43:30] It dominates. Time is not, it doesn't matter. As I said a few days ago, John chapter 11, verse 25. Lazarus was dead.

[43:41] Jesus was not dead. Verse 23, Martha said to Jesus that if you, Martha said, I know that you write, but verse 23, from verse 23, this is, all right, go to verse 22 quickly and let me show you that.

[43:54] Verse 21, from verse 21. It says that, then now Martha said to Jesus, Lord, if you had been here, say had been here. Had been here. Oh, I can't hear you. Had been here.

[44:05] I know because of the Christmas you, some of us ate a lot and so, it has made you any little thing you are hungry. Wait, wait, you have to shed that weight off.

[44:18] All right, let's go back here. Let's go. Verse 20, verse 21, it says that, Lord, if you had been here, my brother wouldn't have died. So, she was talking in terms of time, time frame.

[44:30] If you had come earlier, I know you would have broken, but now it's too late. Now it's too late. And then Jesus said, he said, but even now, I know whatever you ask God, he will do it, but not including my brother coming back to me.

[44:44] It's interesting how sometimes we can be very religious, but we cut some things out. I know, I believe God for a house, but, but, but, but, you know, at least I, I, I need some, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I believe God will supply all my needs.

[45:01] I, I need God, I believe God will supply my needs. But, this, this thing about offering and tithe, I have to wait, because I need to pay the phone bill. But you said God will supply all my needs.

[45:13] Yeah, I know that. So when he supplies my needs, then, like someone who was believing God for, I think, a thousand pounds to travel to, and back on a journey. And, he prayed, and then, God, somebody, he was praying, believe God, and someone brought him 900 pounds.

[45:27] He said, thank you, Lord, you already taking your, your, your tithe. You know? Now, I can use them. If, even now, what have I asked? Look at verse 23.

[45:37] Look at verse 23. Jesus said, let's already, let's go. Jesus said to her, your brother will rise again. What did Jesus say? Your brother will rise again.

[45:47] I can't hear you. Your brother will rise again. So, say again. He will rise. Now, this theological matter, said, I know he will rise.

[45:58] He said, and Martha said, I know that he will rise again. in the resurrection, at the last day. Time. If you had been here, it wouldn't have happened.

[46:09] But now that you have come, it's too late. So, we have to now wait, for the last day. Jesus said, hey, I am that last day. I am the resurrection. He said, I am the resurrection, and I am here.

[46:22] So, I am here. Now, watch this. In the book of, in the book of Isaiah, chapter 46, verse 9 and 10. Put it on the screen. Let me show you something. Say, time is subject to faith.

[46:33] Time is subject. I can't hear you. Time is subject. Say it again. Time is subject. Don't panic. Don't panic. I don't need to talk. No, don't panic. Just make sure you run a lot of faith into your life.

[46:44] Time is subject to faith. He said, this is what God is talking about. He said, remember the former things of old. For, for, I am God, and there is no other. I am God, and there is none like me.

[46:56] Look at him. He said, you like this one. Declaring the end from the beginning. So, before the beginning, when the beginning was that, he has declared the end already. Okay? Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times, things that are not yet done.

[47:11] Look, before you showed up, he has actually declared things that are going to happen for your grandchildren. Time is in his hands. Said, things that are not yet done.

[47:23] Saying, my counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure. So, time is not a problem for God. If you can log on to the God, if you can log on to God factor, by faith, I told you, without faith, you can't connect to God.

[47:38] That's why I said, it does not take time. I said, it doesn't take time. If you log on to God, time will be subject to circumstances in your life. Jesus told her, Jesus told her, I am the resurrection and the life.

[47:51] So, don't be talking about the last day. I'm here. It's going to happen for you now. That's it. Hallelujah. I'm here. So, time is subject to faith. Yes. If you can believe in God, but, Pastor, Bible says, by faith, in Hebrews 11, 11, today, I feel like quoting a lot of 11s.

[48:10] Can I do a lot of 11s? In this few moments, I'm going. Hebrews 11, 11, what does it, let's not read the alarm from the screen. I like that one. Hey, let's go, let's go. When did she bear a child?

[48:30] When did she bear a child? When she was what? Passed the age. Ah, passed. She's gone past that limit.

[48:41] But faith brought it back. Faith will dominate time. No, this one is someone who has passed the time.

[48:51] He brought it back. Lazarus is someone who is not yet time for him to realize. Jesus brought it forward. Whichever, wherever you stand, on the time of, the sound of time, or the timeline, wherever you stand, faith will make it now.

[49:12] Hebrews chapter 11, verse 1, he said, look at the first word there. Hebrews 11, verse 1, let's not scream the first word there. The first word there. Listen, if you don't expect it to work for you now, don't say it.

[49:25] But if you expect it, what does it, win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win!

[49:35] Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Now, faith is, 2016 is the now we are talking about. It's the now we are talking about.

[49:48] It's the now we are talking about. You can dominate and you can rule by faith. Yes. The just shall live by faith. You can rule by faith.

[50:00] You will reign by faith. It doesn't matter what the story is like last year. It does not matter. Suddenly, everything can be overturned. We are written and overruled. Show the ears!

[50:10] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! In Mark, did I talk about 11? Yes! Yes! Okay, let's look at Mark 11. Mark 11.

[50:20] Yes! Yes! Mark 11. Yes! I feel like starting from verse 11, but it doesn't make sense. Yes! So, yes, let's go to verse 12. Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!

[50:31] Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Praise and viaje. I have seen a fig tree, In different forms of gabinet while my friend said inom ear sharpsen, ntsinnit, inquiry vaulting, in response irWheness mélken, lumEımek He spoke back.

[51:08] Life is always talking to you. Life is always throwing statements at you. Throwing statements at you. You will fail. I told you it won't work for you. You see, you are going down. You see, it won't work for you.

[51:19] No one likes you. No one will marry you. You won't get anyone to marry. Your hair will dry out. I will respond. Doctors are giving you report upon report.

[51:33] Report. He said he was supposed to go in. But he took time. He was taking care of his colleague. Let me take it. Because me, I'm sorted.

[51:44] He was responding before he got there. Because he was operating by faith. Faith is advanced. Faith is advanced knowledge. Faith is higher intelligence. It's God's kind of intelligence.

[51:57] You are operating within a different realm. Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Did you hear the lady's testimony? I like that lady's testimony. She said that we prayed. We prayed at the altar.

[52:08] Pastor was declaring that your family will not be a victim. We connected. Prayed at the altar. This Ebola thing, it was reckless. Killing anybody can lay hands on. And at the time, at the prime of Ebola, their mother was there.

[52:21] And he said, everybody around us, none was victimized by Ebola. And she said that I know it's because of the declarations by faith.

[52:33] I know it. This is how faith works. Faith works by declaring, by speaking. This year, you have to be full of speaking.

[52:46] That's where I'm leading this whole thing to. You have to be full of speaking. Speaking. So Jesus Christ got there. There's no... In response, Jesus said, me. In response, Jesus said to it.

[52:59] Said to the tree. Can you imagine? People would think he's getting out of his mouth. Because the natural man would think this is foolishness. But Jesus, let no one eat from you ever again.

[53:11] Say ever. Ever. You must be able to speak to certain conditions in your life that this thing will never happen again. It will never happen again. Some of you this year, you must be able to say that hospital visitation is over.

[53:27] It's over. You've gone to hospital too much. Too much every time you are sick. Every time you are unwell. Today, if it's not behind your tie, tomorrow is behind your neck.

[53:38] If it's not behind your neck, it's behind your teeth. If it's not behind your teeth, it's on your back. If it's not on your back, it's under your hair. If it's not under your hair, it's at the back of your eyeballs.

[53:49] Why? Why? Why? There is always something. There is always something. The doctors are using you for their money. I like the way Papa said it.

[54:02] It will not be a source of income for doctors. Others will be okay. Sit up. You will not be a source of income for doctors.

[54:14] How does that happen? You have to start speaking. Did you see what the lady did? She spoke. She spoke over her health condition. Spoke over her health condition. No way.

[54:25] I'm healed. I'm well. Speak it. Declare God's word which you know. Speak it. And as you speak, because faith is creative, it begins to create things. It begins to create things.

[54:36] Watch this. That thing is there. That thing is there. That's why they are cheering you up. So speak it. And as you speak it, you are drawing it. You are pulling it into your situation. You are pulling it. You are dragging it.

[54:47] It's coming. You can't speak and it won't respond. When you speak, it will respond. So it doesn't want to go. You speak. It's trying to move away from you. Health is trying to move away from you.

[54:58] You say, I am healed. Then he's coming back. You say, I am healed. I am healed. I am healed. I am healed. I am healed. The next day, Monday morning, still feeling pain.

[55:09] You say, I am healed. So the pain is there, but the health is coming. Your confession is bringing the health. Your confession is bringing your marriage. Your confession is bringing your job. Your confession is bringing your house.

[55:21] Your confession is bringing your children. Your confession is bringing that promotion. Your confession is bringing it. As you declare, it is so. In the name of Jesus, shout, I am blessed.

[55:38] That's how it works. That's how it works. So, Jesus said in response, may no one eat from you ever. Ever again. And what happened?

[55:49] Verse 20, and the disciples said, the disciples heard him. I don't hear you. Don't be afraid. Speak it out loud. Don't be afraid. Who is not listening?

[56:01] Don't be afraid. I feel charged. Don't be afraid. Listen, do your own thing.

[56:14] Let them think what they will think. Remember this. Remember, sir, we live in United Kingdom. You try mocking them. They haven't seen you. You don't matter.

[56:26] In the same way, you have to speak. Anyone who is looking at you from the dead, don't matter. They don't matter. They don't matter. People who don't have the genuine thing are even proud of their faith.

[56:41] You are wearing original Rolex. You are allowing those with replica to be displayed. Remove your own to begin to display it. Display it comfortably. Because your own is not replica.

[56:52] It's genuine. I said it's genuine. Say hallelujah. Hallelujah. Speak out the word. Homologia.

[57:02] Speak the word. Speak the word. Hallelujah. The word of God is not for just listening. You hear it so you can speak it. You hear it so you can speak it.

[57:14] Some of you have been deceived, thinking that it is the prayer of a superstar, preacher. That will change you. I don't even understand why you should be switching, running on radio stations and TV stations, looking for someone to pray for you.

[57:31] What's wrong with you? Get your word. Speak the word out. Speak the word out. When you speak it, you don't see it. Keep speaking it, and I guarantee you will see it.

[57:42] Never tell the confession. Keep speaking. Keep speaking. Now let me show you something. Verse 20. Verse 20 of Mark chapter 11. Then when they're mourning, as they will pass by, they saw their victory tried down from their roots.

[58:00] Peter. Peter remembering. Because they hate him. They will come back and say, you are an amazing person. Like the sister, the sister, he said that, she said now, now when it's prayer time, her family is asking her to pray.

[58:13] Because people can see the difference. And they will let them also pray. But when you pray, they can see that it's working. He said when for a wedding, and a child was sick, he prayed for it.

[58:25] They're now looking for him because the thing is working. There's power in your mouth for. Because of the word of God you have in your heart, there's power. But if you speak negative things, you give certain ammunition to work against you.

[58:39] And we speak it because we want to fit in. We speak it because we are full of fear. So either fear or negative speech gives certain advantage over you. I'm telling you, it doesn't matter who is praying for you.

[58:52] If you don't take responsibility, if you don't, your dentist can be the best in the world. But if you don't take responsibility, your teeth will be rotten. Take responsibility.

[59:05] So Jesus said, Peter said, remember in verse 21, he said, Master, Master, Rabbi, look, the victory, your curse, is winning the way. Jesus said, look out, he said, have faith in God.

[59:19] What are you talking about? This is how the faith thing works. This is how the faith thing works. Have faith in God. Then verse 2, verse 2, he said, for as far as Shola says to you, that whosoever says to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the tree and does not doubt in his heart, but believe those things which he said, you have to believe that this thing is working.

[59:42] Say it, but don't be quiet. Some people only believe, they say, I believe in my heart. One day, no, no, no, no, you are missing it because, they say, it doesn't matter how much you believe in your heart. If it doesn't come out of your mouth, it doesn't work.

[59:53] It does not work. It does not work. You have to speak out. You have to speak out. This year, sometimes, anything, listen, from tomorrow, anything you want, you are expecting this year, keep speaking it.

[60:08] Now, I've just told you, I've just given you the reason why you didn't get married last year. Because you were too quiet and you were saying some negative things.

[60:19] That's why there was marriage ready for you. There was a new business ready for you. New employment, new house ready for you. But you kept saying the negative thing.

[60:30] And listen, the problem is some of us have trained ourselves, listen to this, thank you, Jesus. We have trained ourselves not to say the negative. But you are not saying the word. Not to say the negative is good, but it's not taking you anywhere.

[60:45] It's not taking you, because, listen, listen, Satan, because of Satan's program, life and issues, favor, works away naturally. Like weeds, they grow naturally.

[60:56] So naturally, your health is working away. Now, if you say, this health is killing me, it goes faster. This health is not going better, it goes faster. But as you say, I am healed.

[61:07] It can't go. It's trying to go, it's like someone on an elevator going the opposite way. So it's trying to go, but something is bringing it back, striking it back.

[61:17] And you are speaking, speak, the more you speak, the intensity with which you speak, the more it's coming. I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed. I am blessed.

[61:29] I am blessed. I am blessed. When I tell you, realize, it has grabbed you. You are blessed. Everybody sees the blessing of God upon your life. So I am blessed.

[61:45] Hey! Hey! If you keep quiet, if you keep quiet, Satan will win the battle.

[61:56] But you are in the arena. It's a match. It's a competition. It's a fight. Does it make sense when Bible says that fight the good fight of faith?

[62:07] Hmm. Ooh. Surely I say unto you, if you have, whosoever shall say to this mountain, be removed and be cast into the sea. And there's no doubt in his heart, but believe that whatsoever he saith will be done.

[62:24] He shall have whatsoever he saith. So why are you not saying it? Why are you not saying it? You have what you say. Jesus Christ was with that woman and the woman was delaying his journey to Jairus' house in Luke chapter 8.

[62:40] And, oh, it should have been in Luke 11. But let's move. I don't have time. Luke chapter 8. And the woman was delaying him. And, Bible says that in verse 48, verse 47, 48, he told the woman, that woman, your faith has made you well.

[62:59] And, the next verse, which is verse 49, while he was still speaking, some came from the ruler of the synagogue's house saying to him, the ruler of the synagogue, your daughter is dead.

[63:12] Do not trouble the teacher. It's late. Someone say it's late. It's late. Say it's late. It's late. That's what they'll be telling you. Sorry, we can't give you a job. Don't worry about that.

[63:23] Say that, I'm getting that job. Sometimes you can look at the boss. Sorry, we didn't get it. No, you got it wrong. I'm coming up. So, no, no, we don't have vacancy.

[63:33] I have a vacancy there. There is a vacancy there for me. I'm coming back. You don't have anything to lose. Some of us, you see, this generation is so image driven.

[63:45] You are always thinking about what people think about you. But they are laughing at you in their head. Already. Yeah. They are laughing at you anyway because don't you realize their situation is miserable? That miserable situation makes them laugh at you.

[63:59] So, you better try doing something about it. They may laugh at your attempt, but they will salute your results. They will salute your results. If you are worried about mockery, you are not coming up.

[64:14] people. Because if you try to climb out of that pit, you are in you and your family members. You are the one who is trying to climb up. If you try to climb up, there will be people who will laugh at you, including your family members.

[64:26] Their family head will be saying, what is this? Look at you. People will laugh at you. My friend, give me a break. All this in your church. Now, you see, it's getting out of your mind. They told Paul, this thing is going to your mind.

[64:37] You are getting out of it. They will tell you. They will tell you. Now, look at the story. So, they came and told Jesus in verse 49, that the man, that your daughter is dead. Verse 50, Jesus said, look at, Jesus said, answer saying, do not be afraid.

[64:52] Only believe and she will be made well. The daughter, Jesus, you didn't hear what they said there. He's dead though. He said, don't worry. I said, she will be made well. If you can believe it, she will be made well because there's no time boundary.

[65:07] Faith is working here. You are also talking about time. By faith, Sarah gave birth when she was past the time. By faith, Abraham had a child when he was over 100 years old.

[65:19] How could that be? By faith. You are also talking by time. You are talking by time. This year, you are going to dominate the year with faith.

[65:30] Let me finish this. Listen to this. Put it back on the screen. Let me finish. Verse 51. When Jesus heard it, he answered and said, don't be afraid. 51. When he had come into the house, the house where the dead person was, he permitted no one to go in except Peter, James, and John, and the father and the mother of the girl.

[65:49] All the crowd, everybody wait. Sometimes you have to separate yourself from the crowd. except you are not, you are not, you are not on the catwalk. It's your destiny that will be on display.

[66:01] They will see it. But if you try and put yourself on the catwalk, meanwhile, your destiny is in the jungle. Your destiny is stranded somewhere and you are going, it's like going for a catwalk to go and display a shoe.

[66:14] But actually, you don't have the right shoes. And you are going, people will be wondering, what's this one doing here? You are trying to get the attention, but they feel sorry for you because they know you are misplaced. Don't be in a hurry to impress people.

[66:26] Sometimes you come to church and you hear God's word, take an action now. I feel shy. Somebody may think, people will always think anyway. People will always, they are entitled to their opinions.

[66:39] And so, whether you permit them or not, they still have their own opinion about it. You think your hair is nice, but they are thinking, what kind of hair is this? You think your shoe is nice, they are thinking, what is this? You think your tie is nice, they are wondering, what kind of tie is this?

[66:53] You think that car is nice, they are thinking, why is that guy wearing this red shoe like that? So, you think that it's nice and it's nice, but someone doesn't see it as nice.

[67:05] Someone, your hair is that which you are so excited about because of which you can't worship God. Somebody is looking at, but why would someone do such a hair? And they will tell you what they see, say, why?

[67:19] Why? Why? Sometimes, you have done this, your eyelash, it looks like grabbing brush, yes. No, no, very old toothbrush, two years old toothbrush. Yes.

[67:33] Your eyelashes, and you are so happy about it, when you blink, any child who comes around you may suffer severe scratches. But you are wearing it, you are happy.

[67:44] You think it's so good and someone is looking and you're feeling sorry for yourself. What has this lady done? So, the point I'm trying to make is everybody will have an opinion about you.

[67:56] If you are concerned, when I finish, I'm going to pray for anyone who wants to make a commitment to Jesus. Be wise. Forget about what anyone is thinking about you. After all, do we go to a hospital together? Be wise.

[68:08] Take wise decisions. Wise men seek Jesus early. Be smart. At least if you have not done anything smart in your life, for this year, be smart and work with God by faith.

[68:20] Hallelujah. Say, when they came to the house, Jesus moved the people out. And when he went there, he met some people too. He reduced the crowd, but he went to meet the real dangers.

[68:32] Look at this other script. He said, now, all wept and mourned for her, but he said, do not weep. You see Jesus? You see his confession? He said, don't weep.

[68:43] She's not dead, but sleeping. Remember, they were mourning. Usually I'm going to die and then Jesus said, don't worry, she's not dead, she's sleeping.

[69:01] The world doesn't look at this fool. See, the natural man is foolishness. The talk of faith is foolishness to the natural man. They were laughing. They were laughing. laughing.

[69:17] Why? Because Jesus said, the girl is not dead, she's sleeping. Do you know why? Because remember, he had told the father, when he heard the news, he started talking this long time ago.

[69:33] He said, only believe, your daughter will be made well. Well, and so he didn't change. He made people, some of you people, you'll be quiet. Because you don't want them to know that you're every Christian. You don't want them to know that you're a believer.

[69:46] You're afraid of mockery. No wonder your breakthrough has also been afraid to show up. That's how it works. That's how it works. Be bold. So let me finish this thing. And then, they mocked him.

[69:59] But he put them all outside. He said, put them out. Put them out. Put those guys, your life is too crowded. I don't know why you asked an intelligent young man, young woman, you've given certain people so much credit and audacity in your life.

[70:18] You can't do anything if they are not in favor. You can't even go to jail if they say, no, I don't think you should go to jail. Anything, you can't do anything as old as you are. You need the permission of people to wear a shoe.

[70:32] You know what I'm talking about. Some of us have bad influences around us. These people mean so much to you, but you know, in the bigger scope of things, they don't because your destiny is better. But they are a block on your journey to destiny.

[70:45] And yet, you have still given them the audacity, the right, and the ticket to exist in your life to dictate how things should go. Take your life into your hands and move on the word of God. Move by the word of God.

[70:57] Listen, because the way you are going, it's likely you may not marry you now. Because of your confession and the people around you, put them out. Put them out. Yeah, I know, I know, but that's my best friend.

[71:10] We grew up together sometimes. That's my auntie. No, me and my auntie are very close. That's my dad. That's my mom. But your mom is so blind. She is killing your potential.

[71:21] She is killing your potential. She is telling you, insult this man. He's a foolish man. And because of her advice, your husband can't stay at home and still you can't see it. Because my mom, he goes to your husband, my mom said you are not a man.

[71:37] And you, you are so addicted and attached to your mom who is destroying your chances in life. It's about time you cut that umbilical cord. Cut it. Cut it.

[71:49] Cut it. You know. I'm professing to somebody. You know. You know the thing is pulling you down. You know. You know. This is not professing. You know. No. That relationship is not helping you.

[72:01] Get jettison that boy out of your life. Spit him out. And be free to move on. And now begin to speak what God the word is saying. Don't be afraid. Believe. Just just pull them out of the room.

[72:14] Those who are mocking. Some people, they don't have to know what you are doing because you know they are mocking. Don't tell them anything. When you are pregnant, don't tell them. Don't tell them you are pregnant again.

[72:24] Don't tell them. They will see the baby one of the baby's wasa. One of our brothers who is here to give his testimony. He said there are all kinds of negative people around him.

[72:37] Every time he wants to travel to be with his wife things are blocking him. And he said when he finally prayed through and he secured his documents to come to be with his wife he didn't tell anybody.

[72:50] When he arrived they will know that he is over there. Now if because of that they don't like you that means they have never liked you anyway. That's right.

[73:01] They have never liked you. Kick some people. Bro, this year for it to be different you got to kick some people out. And make sure the people who are stopping you from serving God going to church every time they have something negative to say about you going to church.

[73:19] They have said they always have something to say about you going to church. Haven't you noticed them? Kick them out. Kick them out. Kick them out.

[73:35] And they said let's go to the room. Clear them out. And what did he do? When he got to the room what did he do? That's already out. Let's go. He put the blood in all of us to care by time and for save live them and rise.

[73:49] And what happened? Time is not there. It's immediately. She arrived at once immediately. Now, remember what he did?

[74:01] He put them out. First, when he got to the house he spoke. They laughed at him. He put them out. He went and spoke. So he spoke to the parents. He came to the house. Spoke to those who were so-called concerned and crying.

[74:13] When they laughed at him he moved them out. Then went to the girl and spoke to the girl immediately. He didn't change the confession. He didn't change the confession. Keep speaking.

[74:24] That is how you reign by faith. You have to keep speaking. But the problem is that what would you say if you don't have the word inside you? That's a bigger problem.

[74:35] He said, he took me to the valley of dry bones. Took me to the valley of dry bones. And he said, son of man, can these bones live? He said, Lord, do you know it? He said, yeah, they can live. Ezekiel 37, he said, speak to the dry bones.

[74:47] Prophesy and say, hear the word of the Lord. Not my own word. Hear the word of the Lord. And he said, I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, I heard some noise. Bone came to bones. Sineus came to sineus.

[74:58] It was an army. How? I prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. Shall prophesy. I give you the audacity to be a prophet over your life.

[75:10] This year, if you don't prophesy, and you keep complaining, and keep talking about the problem, we can't help you.

[75:21] We can't help you. But what you got to do, speak what God's word is saying. Prophesy to the dry bones. Prophesy to the dry bones. Prophesy to your situation.

[75:34] Prophesy the word. Prophesy the word. Prophesy the word. Prophesy the word. And I see your miracle coming. I see your breakthrough coming.

[75:45] I see your promotion coming. I see your healing coming. I see your marriage coming. I see your financial release. Prophesy.

[76:28] You can win being quiet. You have to win speaking God's word. This year, never be caught without a word from God. In your mouth.

[76:40] This book of the Lord shall not depart out of your mouth, nor your head. Your mouth. Thou shall meditate upon it. And observe to do all that is written.

[76:53] Then, you will make your way prosperous. And have a good success. That's it. You have to prophesy.
