[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another destiny-changing word by David Entry from one of our Revival Seeking Youth Services. If you want to control your world, catch the word. Be blessed.
[0:16] Last week I was talking about faith. Today I want to talk about a message that God has put on my heart. It's been burning. It's a kind of message that will make a giant, kingdom giant out of anybody.
[0:34] To make a kingdom giant when it comes to the things of God. God, with that, you can become a giant. And what is it? Receive you the Holy Spirit.
[0:46] He said that, how can these things be since I know no man?
[0:57] Luke chapter 1 verse 34. How can these things be since I know not a man? The angel said to Mary verse 35, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you, and the power of the highest shall overshadow you.
[1:16] Wow. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow you. Let's all read that together. The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the highest shall overshadow thee.
[1:32] Yeah. How can these things be, Holy Spirit? Holy Spirit is the sole person responsible for anything God can do with anybody on this earth.
[1:47] Anything. Anything God can do with any human being. It will take the Holy Spirit. So if what you are doing is God who is using you, or who is God who is achieving it, God who is manifesting, or God who is accomplishing.
[2:03] If that thing you are doing is, if it's God, then it can never be possible without the Holy Spirit. Nobody can be a Christian outside of the Holy Spirit.
[2:16] For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are actually the sons of God. Listen, there are people on this earth who are sons of God. Oh, but pastor, we are all sons of God.
[2:26] Your dreams. Jesus. Under what condition? Under what condition? Why would Jesus tell some people that you are of your father the devil? Yep. Yep.
[2:37] In John chapter 8, verse 44. Jesus said, you are of your father the devil. And he was talking to Jews. Wow. No, Jews are the closest to God.
[2:50] Wow. You are either Jew or you are a Gentile. Now, if you are Jew, you are part of God's chosen people. He added those times in Jesus Christ. God's chosen people from Abraham.
[3:02] So, if you are Jew, you are kind of God. That's why Jesus himself was Jew. Jesus had to be a Jew. Jesus had to be a Jew. Because Jews were the only people God was dealing with.
[3:16] Only group of people who were God's people. Jews. So, Bible, these are Jesus' words in John chapter 4, verse 21. Salvation is of the Jews.
[3:29] Salvation. Jesus said that, verse 22. For salvation is of the Jews. I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. For it is the power. Romans chapter 1, verse 15. For it is the power of God unto salvation.
[3:41] Verse 16, sorry. Unto salvation. And then what? To all those who believe. For what? For what? For what? For the Jews. That's what the scripture says. And it says in Ephesians chapter 2, from verse 11, 12, particularly 12 and 13, that you, those of you who were not Jews, you were, it says that you, at that time, you were without Christ, being alienated from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenant of promise, having no hope, without God in this world.
[4:14] So, if you are Jew, you can't be Jew without being circumcised, especially as male. Because that means that now you are in the covenant of Abraham. The covenant God made with Abraham. You have to be circumcised. Circumcision means putting off the foreskin of the flesh.
[4:27] Putting off the foreskin. All right? So, God is making a statement. Abraham, you need to be circumcised because without circumcision, I can't use you. I don't like the flesh. The flesh means that your strength, who you are, the center of your being outside of God.
[4:43] God says, I don't want it. So, for me to be in covenant with you, cut off the flesh. So, circumcision is a sign. And he says that, what advantage, therefore, has the Jew? Is there in it?
[4:54] He said, what advantage there? Give us NIV. Let's see how NIV puts it. What advantage, then, is there in being a Jew? Or, what value is there in circumcision?
[5:07] Look at the answer. Much in every way. What? In every way. So, to be Jewish is a serious thing.
[5:17] And Jesus looks at a group of Jews. And he said, you are of your father the devil. So, if Jews were told that their father is the devil, then you are Gentile.
[5:35] And they said, no, no, no, no. Satan is not our father. We have our own father.
[5:45] Our father is Abraham. If you are Jewish, you are. Abraham is the father of all Jews. So, if you are Jewish. So, they told Jesus. Jesus said, you are of your father the devil.
[5:56] And the desires of your father. Put it on the screen. The father of the devil. He said he was a murderer from the beginning. And does not stand in the truth. Because there is no truth in him.
[6:10] When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources. For he is a liar and a father of it. Those of you have been lying. See your father? He's the father of lies.
[6:22] So, if you lie automatically, you have become a child of the devil. But, and they said, look at the next verse. And because I tell you that you do not believe in me.
[6:35] Let's go to the next verse. Which of you commit me of sin? And if I tell you the truth, why do you not believe me? So, you don't receive the word of God because you are not of God.
[6:45] And the Jews answered and said, do we not say rightly that you are a Samaritan and you have a demon?
[6:58] I can imagine. They said Jesus has a demon. But don't worry about what they are saying about your pastor. Well, so Jesus said you are of your father, the devil.
[7:10] And the point here is that not everybody on this earth is a child of God. Everybody is a creature of God. There's a difference.
[7:21] We are all creatures of God. But we are not children of God. Because John chapter 1 verse 12 says that as many as received him, he gave them the right.
[7:32] To become. So, that means that not everyone has the right to become a child of God. Give them the right to become the child or the children of God. Right?
[7:43] So, we are not all children of God. We are not. And the Bible says that you cannot be a child of God without the involvement of the Holy Spirit.
[7:54] The Holy Spirit is the chief agent that accomplishes anything God on earth in human lives. So, he says that in Romans chapter 8 verse 14, as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
[8:13] Sons, they mean children of God. So, the Spirit must be evolved for you to be of God. So, there's nothing God does on earth in any human being's life without the involvement of the Spirit.
[8:33] Last Thursday, as I was teaching, I said in the book of Judges. That Bible says that, and the Spirit of the Lord came. In fact, in the book of 1 Samuel chapter 16 verse 13, and they anointed David in the presence of his brethren.
[8:46] And the Spirit of the Lord came upon him from that day forward. You have to take notice of the fact that the Spirit of God can come upon people. Is that not what the angel told Mary? Mary said, how can this be?
[8:58] He says, the Holy Ghost shall come upon you. That should be your greatest desire. That the Holy Spirit shall come upon me. The Holy Spirit shall come upon me. So, he says, the Holy Spirit shall come upon you.
[9:10] That's what he told Mary. And in 2 Chronicles chapter 20 verse 14, as they prayed, the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jehaziel, the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jael, the son of Mataniah, a Levite from the sons of Asaph in the midst of the assembly.
[9:32] The Spirit of the Lord came upon this guy called Jehaziel. The Spirit of God comes upon people. The Spirit of God comes.
[9:42] In Isaiah chapter 11 verse 2, it says that the Spirit of God will be upon him. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. The Spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. You know, in the book of Genesis, in the days of Noah, Genesis chapter 7 and chapter 8, when the ark, they were about to come out of the ark, I think particularly in chapter 8, Noah sent a bird, sent a raven first.
[10:10] He went and Noah sent a raven. Then later on, he sent a dove. Sent a dove. Then he sent a raven, which kept going until the waters had dried up from the earth.
[10:24] Then he also sent from him a dove to see if the waters had receded from the face of the earth. Verse 9. But the dove found no resting place.
[10:35] What? For his soul. For the source of a food. And she returned unto the ark to him. This is serious. The raven didn't come back. But the dove returned to the ark.
[10:46] Why did the dove return from this text? He found no resting place. So, the dove went back. The dove went back to Noah.
[10:58] Because he found no resting place. Look at Isaiah chapter 11, verse 2. I just quoted it. The dove that had no resting place, the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him.
[11:08] Now, in the book of Genesis, the reason why the flood of Noah came was because the sin of man has escalated.
[11:24] Man has become like our modern day America, UK, and Germany. Man has become, we don't care about God. We don't care about God unless we do anything we want.
[11:38] Amen. So, Bible says in Genesis chapter 6, from verse 1, 2, 3. Verse 6 and 7 talks about how Noah found. And now it came to pass.
[11:49] When men began to multiply on the face of their daughters, were born to them. That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were beautiful. And they took wives for themselves.
[12:02] Now, in verse 3. And the Lord said, my spirit shall not strive with man forever. Why? Why? For you to be. So, you see why I told Abraham, take off the foreskin of your flesh.
[12:18] He's so independent of me. How can I? So, from that time, the spirit of God couldn't settle on a man to do anything. Wow. Wow. Then, when you read down, the Bible says, God said, I regret for me, came on.
[12:33] That's another theological. Then, the Bible says, verse 6 and 7, said, but, Jesus. But, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. But, Noah found grace in the earth.
[12:43] What happened that in the multitude of millions of people who were all of one man just found grace?
[12:54] Wow. Not because he behaved better. But he found grace. There are two different things. You must always desire that grace will find you. Amen.
[13:06] Desire that God, show me your grace. The Bible says that it's by grace that you're saved. Ephesians chapter 2, verse 8. By grace. So, Noah found grace before God.
[13:18] And God told Noah, you know, build an ark. Because I'm about to wipe humanity out of the earth. Tell God that he doesn't know how to practice human rights. As though you know how to practice God right.
[13:33] Wow. So, God said, I created human beings for a purpose. Now they've gone past their self-identity. It's no use.
[13:44] They won't save me. My spirit cannot be with them. I'm going to wipe all of them out and start afresh. So, that's why he wiped everything. Then, everybody was gone. Those in the ark, they were bound to start new life.
[13:58] And Noah, he's been like a prophet. Sends the dove. To go. See. If there's a place the spirit of God can find and rest of.
[14:09] But there was no nothing. And so, God gave Isaiah a message. That this Messiah who is coming. The spirits of the Lord shall rest upon him.
[14:23] But, he said, that is not a spirit. Don't worry, you understand. He said, the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him. Then, John the Baptist was sent by God to come and carry out baptism.
[14:34] And, John the Baptist, I like this phrase so much. In John chapter 1, verse 31 and verse 33. John the Baptist said, I knew him not.
[14:46] How would I know he's the one? I don't know him. He said, I will show you him. He said, how would I know? I will show you. God said, no, I will show you. He said, how would you show me? He says that the one upon Luke, verse 33.
[14:56] I did not know him. But he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, upon whom you see, watch this, the spirit descending and what? Remaining.
[15:08] Wow. It's like suddenly the spirit has found a resting place. Upon whom you see the spirit descending and remaining.
[15:20] So, in Matthew chapter 3, verse 16. Yeah. Let's look at that. And when Jesus came immediately out of the water, and behold, the heavens were opened upon him.
[15:33] And he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and doing what? The spirit settled. The spirit settled.
[15:44] It came like what? A dove. You remember the dove? A dove couldn't find a resting place. What? Couldn't find a resting place. The spirit couldn't.
[15:55] For he said, I destroyed man. I destroyed the earth. I wiped humanity. Because man has become flesh. And my spirit cannot strive with man. So, I destroyed everything.
[16:06] And then when he finishes, he says, okay, let the spirit go again. Let's see what happens. And the spirit goes and says, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-uh. But now there's good news now. When the spirit of God comes to K-P-T-U, there will be a lot of resting places.
[16:19] Amen. That's why I'm teaching this message. God's spirit wants to rest on you, girl.
[16:30] Amen. I know you are not good with maths. I know you might not be good with makeup. I know you might not be good with making friends.
[16:42] I know you might not have a lot of social media likes. I know you might not have that. You might not have that. You might not have that. But it's not the problem. God says, I want my spirit to settle on you.
[16:57] So, many years before then, God spoke to one of the prophets called Joel. And it says in Joel chapter 2 verse 28 that it shall definitely happen. That's what it means it shall come to pass.
[17:09] It shall definitely happen. That afterwards, that I will pour out my spirit. He said, I will pour. This time, I'm going to take my spirit like a barrel.
[17:19] And then, boom. He said, it shall come to pass. It shall come to pass afterwards.
[17:32] That I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will come to pass. Your old men shall dream dreams. And your young men shall see young people.
[17:47] Young people. All people are busy sleeping and dreaming. But young people are not sleeping. They are seeing things. All as a function of the Holy Spirit coming upon people.
[18:02] So, on the day of Pentacles. Before the day of Pentacles, they were busy. They were eager to go out and preach. Jesus said, hey, hey, hey. I know you have heard my message.
[18:14] I know you understand the theology behind what we are doing. I know you've been well taught. The Bible says that. When they saw the boldness of Peter. Verse 13. Verse 13.
[18:24] Verse 13. Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John. And perceived that they were not. They were uneducated and untrained men. They marveled.
[18:35] And they realized that they had been with Jesus. Now, watch this. There are two things here. What did they see? They saw the boldness of Peter and John. The way these guys were talking.
[18:45] How many of these guys, they have not had formal training. But the way they were talking, they had on point. That means that they had the understanding right. Yeah. But Jesus said, in spite of the understanding you have got.
[19:00] Don't attempt to try and do my work. Wow. Wow. Because you don't do my work based on human strength. Wow. You said, don't.
[19:10] You don't. Because. So. In Acts chapter 1 verse 4. He said, when he had assembled with them. Oh. Jesus liked assembly. Jesus.
[19:22] Another word in the Bible for assembly is church. Jesus liked our gathering. So. When being assembled together with them. He commanded them.
[19:34] Can you imagine? There is this great commission. You know the great commission? The great commission is go. Matthew chapter 28 verse 19.
[19:46] Go ye into the world. And. Go ye therefore. And teach all nations. Baptizing them in the. This is the great commission.
[19:58] The great commission has become the greatest omission in the church. You know what it is? People are not going out. People are not winning souls. The great commission has become the great omission.
[20:11] We have two. Two greats. The great commission. And the great commandment. The great commission is go out into the world. And we do. The great commandment is that this is the greatest of all commandments.
[20:23] Matthew chapter 22 verse 38. 37. 38. It says that this is the greatest. Let's go to the 38.
[20:33] Jesus said. This is the first and the great commandment. What's the great commandment? 37. That shall love the. Oh. Chapter 2. That shall love the Lord.
[20:45] Your God with all your heart. With all your soul. With all your mind. Don't divide your mind into a. For a girl and a boy. And then. You said love God with all of it.
[20:58] Love God with all your soul. Love God. When you love God with all your soul. Even someone tries to break your heart. It won't break. Because God has already had.
[21:10] God has it. Love the Lord thy God. With all your heart. But. If you love the Lord.
[21:21] You'll go with all your heart. You can break it. It's important to understand. That. You. We love the Lord. With all.
[21:31] Our heart. He said. This is the greatest commandment. The greatest commandment. So we have the great commandment. And the great commission.
[21:44] And the great commission. Is to. Go out. You can't. You can't say. You obey the great commandment. And ignore the great commission. And you can't really fulfill the great commission.
[21:58] Until the great commandment is in place. Wow. You love God. I preach the way I preach. Because I love God. Yes. Listen guys. I am addicted. Yes.
[22:09] I am very addicted to this God thing. Yes sir. This God thing. Yep. I will die any day. Anytime for it. I will. I will die for it.
[22:21] Listen. I love God. I'm not faking it. Yes. I love God. Can you? I come alive.
[22:32] When anything church brings me alive. Anything the word of God brings me alive. Apart from this. There's nothing else to my life.
[22:43] That's why. All my best clothes. Every important thing I wear to church. Because there's no other place. There's no other place. All my best clothes.
[22:54] My best shoes. My best hairstyle. My best anything. Listen. What you see me wear in church. That's all I've got. My life is buried in the soil of the work of God.
[23:08] My life is buried in the soil of the work of God. Nothing. My friends are based on how much they also love God. So I can't have a friend who is not into the things of God.
[23:21] I can't. I can't. I don't know how we can get on. I don't know how we can. I don't know. I don't know how we can get on. Love the Lord your God with all your hearts.
[23:38] And say, I've been doing this from my youth. From my youth. Some of you. I'm older than your father. That means I could be your father.
[23:50] And I started loving God with all my heart way before you were born. And I have not gone down one bit. Listen.
[24:01] The way I'm preaching today is not because you come to sit here that I'm preaching like this. I was even wilder. It got to a time. It got to a time.
[24:11] I was a junior in school. Senior see me. So when you're a junior. You see a senior come. You run away because they will bully you. But right that day now we're running away from me. Sit down.
[24:25] Sit down. I'm just. I'm just. I'm begging you. I'm just trying to let you know. It's not because I'm in UK. When I didn't have shoes. When I didn't have anything.
[24:35] When I didn't have money. I've been on fire. Fire for Jesus. I practically got half of the school converted for Jesus. Yeah.
[24:46] I'm telling the genuine truth. My whole class. Almost everybody got born again in my form. My class. Almost everybody got born again. Speaking in tongues. That's why when it comes to pray for people to receive in tongues.
[24:58] I've been doing it for so many years. In my class. Everywhere. Darned room. Everywhere. Dermatries. Wow. Am I saying this? I have been doing this thing for so long.
[25:10] And I genuinely love God. This thing is genuine. It's not a nine day wonder. It's not a kerosene revival.
[25:21] It's been many years of consciousness. I love God. With all my heart.
[25:31] I would have married a woman who didn't love God. Doesn't matter how pretty you're looking. I don't care. To remain relevant in my life or around me.
[25:42] You better keep your love for Jesus going. Because it's not what you give me that makes you important to me. I can't be bothered. Something has already got my heart.
[25:54] So anything you do doesn't. I don't care. You don't. Your value to me has everything to do with your passion for God. Wow. A passion for God.
[26:06] So the great commandments and the great commission. You can't be willing souls when your heart for Jesus is low. Now. You cannot do God's work.
[26:20] You cannot be used by God. Sir. When from the early days I got born again. My biggest prayer. Lord use me. Lord use me. And this is about. Over 30 years ago.
[26:31] And now I'm seeing the results. So. Don't pray today. Expect the results tomorrow immediately. There are a few immediately in the Bible. Instantly.
[26:41] Suddenly. But it's not everywhere. But. God requires. Your consistency. Some of us.
[26:52] The real test in your life. Is the test of consistency. The test of reliability. Dependability. The test. The test of being constant. Doing the right thing.
[27:04] In Galatians chapter 6. It says 9. It says that don't be weary of well doing. It says. Let us not grow weary of. While doing good. No.
[27:14] Give me King James. I like the well doing. Let us not be weary of well doing. When they say well done. That means you are doing well. So that's why. Don't be doing. Don't be weary of doing what people will tell you well done.
[27:28] You have been serving well. You have been winning souls. Well done. Don't be tired of it. Because. Because. It says that. Why should it be tired for. In due season. You will reap.
[27:40] The condition is. If you don't stop it. So if Satan wants you to lose your harvest. He will affect you. Do anything. And you say. Ask for me. When somebody talks to me like this.
[27:51] He has crossed their line. Satan will make sure someone will cross that line. Satan will make sure he will use it. He has found that Achilles heel. He will pray. He will hit it.
[28:03] And he said. Ask for me. Oh yeah. Because Satan wants you to lose your reward. But he says that. Don't be weary. And he said. For in due season. There's a time coming.
[28:14] In the rather appointed time. In due season. You will reap. If you faint not. So. That every one of us.
[28:25] If you want to be used by God. To fulfill the great commission. And. The great commandments. You can't do it by yourself. You can't do it.
[28:38] How well. Can you dance. To impress. The best. Dancing officer in the world. Do you understand what I'm saying?
[28:52] How well can you impress him? Let alone. How well can you behave. Do you. So as to impress. God. The perfect God.
[29:03] There's nothing. So good about you. That God. This is nice. You can't impress God. You can't impress God. How many of you are aware of that? You can't. I can't impress God.
[29:14] God. I can't. So. How can God smile over my life? First of all. I need the spirit of God. So. He says that. In the spirit of the Lord.
[29:27] Isaiah chapter. 11 verse 2. The spirit of the Lord. Shall rest upon. The spirit of wisdom. And understanding. The spirit of. Of counsel. And might. The spirit of knowledge.
[29:38] And of the fear of God. The serving spirit of God. He shall rest upon you. The spirit of God. Rest upon people. In Judges chapter 14. Verse 6. And verse.
[29:49] Verse 16. It talks about how. And the spirit of the Lord. Came mightily upon. Upon Samson. And he told. Watch what he did. He told a lion.
[30:00] Like. I told a lion. Apart. The lion apart. As one who. Have torn apart. A young goat. Lion. Lion. Is the fiercest animal.
[30:11] Lion. Lions. They are very strong. When you talk about strength. Lion. A lion can eat an elephant. An elephant can be.
[30:22] Three times the size of a lion. But the lion can kill it. And eat it. It doesn't even need help. It can kill it alone. That's a lion. And if a lion. He hits you. If it's well. You won't survive.
[30:33] No. It's even better than. If a horse. Hits you. It's even far less. Than a lion. A lion. Swipe one.
[30:46] Lion is stronger than a bear. Yeah. Or. But a lion is stronger. That's why the lion. Is the. Is called the king of the forest. The king of the jungle.
[30:56] Bible talks in. I think in Proverbs. Is that. The lion. Turns back for nobody. Yeah. Proverbs 30. 30. A lion.
[31:07] Which is. Mighty. Among beasts. And does not turn away. From any. You can't make a lion. You intimidate a lion. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. No. Comes like. And then something.
[31:18] Sees. A lion sees something. And he said. This is good. Meals on wheels. Yum. Yum. Yum. Yum. And the lion. Draw. And came after him.
[31:29] And something. Bible says. That when the lion. Came after something. The spirit of the Lord. Came upon him. Ah. Hallelujah. And the spirit of the Lord.
[31:40] And Bible says. The spirit of the Lord. Came mightily upon him. And he took that lion. And. Choked him like goats. Hallelujah.
[31:51] Can you imagine. He tore the lion apart. As one would have. Turn apart. A young goat. Though he had. He didn't have. Any weapon in his hands. Bare hands.
[32:01] Bare hands. Bare hands. Without gloves. Without weapon. Bare hands. He took a lion. Choked him. He just held a lion. Throw him away. And he's stuck on. Go in.
[32:12] How can any human being. Achieve this? The spirit of the Lord. The spirit of the Lord. The spirit of the Lord. Say the spirit of the Lord.
[32:24] The spirit of the Lord. Look at verse 16. Or 19. Look at verse 19. And the spirit of the Lord. Came mightily upon him. And he went down to Askel.
[32:34] And killed 30 of their men. Took their apron. And gave the changes. The changes of clothing. To those who were. Explained everything. So his anger was aroused.
[32:46] And he went back to his father's house. And then. I think. Chapter 12. Or something like that. He went to. Spend all night with the prostitute. Something.
[33:02] Hey. They went there. They were twerking for him. They were doing everything. And he finished.
[33:13] And then the enemies realized that. Something is there. So they went. And locked the city gates. Because we will finish him tonight. Yeah. He went down to Askel. They went to Lord Gaza.
[33:24] Something came here. And surrounded the place. And laid weight on. So they. They were quiet all night. Saying. In the morning. When they like him. We will kill him. So they went and locked the city gates.
[33:36] And then when he got there. They have locked the gates. Of the city. See. This is the. The interest. Some of their things in the Bible. Then he arose at midnight.
[33:47] Took hold of the door. Of the gate of the city. And the two. And the two posts. And pulled them apart. Yeah. And pulled them up. By and all. And carried them.
[33:59] On the shoulder. And carried them. To the top of the hill. Just threw it away. So. Delilah said. I want to ask you one question.
[34:11] Do you love me? Some say. Yeah. You know. Do you really. Really love me? He said. Tell me. The secret of your strength. Where lies your strength?
[34:23] Because the guy was not mature. You're so ordinary. But you could do things. That you can't tell. Where this thing is coming from. That's what happens. When the Holy Spirit comes up.
[34:35] You look so ordinary. But your results are extraordinary. Receive you the Holy Spirit. Does that make sense?
[34:48] When Jesus said. After he resurrected. He comes to them. And he said. Peace be upon you. As the Father sent me. So I send you. John chapter 20.
[34:58] Verse 19. 20. 21. 22. Verse 22. He breathed upon them. And he said. Receive you the Holy Spirit. But what.
[35:09] Why do I need the Holy Spirit? That's why he said. When they had assembled. In John. In Acts chapter. One verse. For. When he has assembled to them. He warned them not to depart from. Jerusalem.
[35:21] Yeah. But wait for the promise of your father. Which. If which you have heard me say. And he was talking about the Holy Spirit. Go in Luke chapter. 24. Verse 49.
[35:31] It said. You shall receive. You shall be endued with power. You shall be enveloped. You shall be covered with power. After the Holy Spirit comes upon you. In Acts chapter. One verse. It says. You shall receive power. After the Spirit of God.
[35:42] The Holy Spirit has come upon you. You know. So. Jesus told them. Wait. Don't go. But when the Holy Spirit comes. That is the only time. God can accomplish things. Through your life.
[35:53] Because. You are not good enough. I need you to help me do something. Tell somebody. I'm not good enough. Unless you are deceived. To think that you are. That. You are all that.
[36:03] And a bag of chips. Tell someone. I'm not good enough. That's why I need the Holy Spirit. I need the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit. I'm not good enough.
[36:15] I've been telling you. I've been born again. I've been doing this. I've been doing that. I've been. For 30 years. I hope. Please. All that is crap. Without the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit. So. I really can't take credit. For others.
[36:27] I've also been doing other things. 30 years. And it's nothing. So. Holy Spirit. Jesus said. Wait. Wait. Don't go. How? So in John.
[36:38] Chapter 16. Verse 7. He said. It is expedient for you that I go. For if I do not go. The comforter. The comforter is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit.
[36:49] The comforter. Will not come. But if I go. I will send him. And then in verse 13. He says that. When the spirit comes. When the.
[37:00] How be it. When he. The spirit of truth. Is come. He will guide you into all truth. He shall not speak of himself. But whatsoever he hears. He shall speak. That shall he speak.
[37:11] And he will show you things to come. The Holy Spirit. When. They were about to do God's work.
[37:22] They were waiting in Jerusalem. For a long time. Raining for 50 days. 49 days. On the 50th day. After Jesus resurrected. On the 50th day. They were sitting in one place.
[37:34] Acts chapter 2. Suddenly. They came. Bible says. A sound came from heaven. And they filled the whole place. Where they were sitting. And literally. Something like fire. It's not fire. But it looked like fire.
[37:45] Sat on every one of them. And. And Bible says that. And. And they were. Verse. For. And they were all. Filled with the Holy Spirit. Ah. Wow.
[37:57] They were filled with the Holy Spirit. In Acts chapter 6. It says that. Choose people. Men. Who are full of the Holy Spirit. They have to do the church work.
[38:09] Because the church work. Is done. With the impartation of the Holy Ghost. You know. I'm a singer. I have. I have. Attended. Bridge school.
[38:20] And. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. I have. To join the choir. Please. You might be. An accomplished singer. Out there.
[38:30] But it doesn't mean. You can do anything for God. Because your singing is flesh. You can sing people who say. Ah. That's nice. But. As soon as they leave church.
[38:41] They're forgotten. It doesn't have any impact on anyone. You can. You can. You can make an impact. On anyone. You can never impact anybody for God.
[38:53] Without the Spirit. You can't impact anybody. You are as zero. By yourself. In spite of your exposure. In spite of what you know.
[39:04] You are as zero. It's the Holy Spirit. That makes you a hero. It's the Holy Spirit. Upon your life. That makes you be able. To make an impact. For the kingdom. Stop trying to pray.
[39:16] For people to like you. I never swore the Holy Spirit. I just swore the Holy Spirit. I really want. More of the Holy Spirit.
[39:28] And Bible says. In the book of Acts. Chapter 4 verse 8. And Peter. Full of the Holy Ghost. It's after when he spoke. Full of the Holy Ghost. That's when they said.
[39:38] When they realized. The boldness of Peter. Yeah. Yeah. Acts 4 verse 8. And I like that. Then Peter. Filled.
[39:49] Peter. How do you describe Peter? Filled. How do you want to be described? Filled. Filled. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[40:02] They're chuffed Stephen because they're choose people who are full of the Holy Ghost to do the work of God. Peter was filled with the Holy Ghost. Peter was filled with the Holy Ghost.
[40:13] Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, said to them, rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if you have been questioned about somebody's healing, let it be known to you.
[40:24] It's by the name of Jesus. I spoke. I said, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, they realized that these guys have been with Jesus.
[40:38] When they saw their boldness, when they saw their boldness, they realized that there's something different.
[40:50] There's something different. It's about time. You go for a top up, a boost of this, your Holy Ghost life.
[41:03] You need it. You need it. You want to pray for people to be healed? You want to preach for people to give your life to Christ? You want to achieve things for Christ? You want the enemies?
[41:14] You see, Satan has a way of when he sees some people, he can't even back off. Because you are a fire career. Yeah. And what I like about God is, you don't have to be a male or female.
[41:27] He said, I'll pour my spirit upon... Oh. Then it's just your sons and daughters. All you have to be is a son or a daughter. Oh.
[41:38] Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. You owe me. That's what it takes. Be a son. Be a daughter. He said, Oh. And your sons and daughters. Right. And daughters.
[41:51] So, anything that can be done by God on earth is a function of the Holy Spirit. The modern day church has been silent on the Holy Spirit. Many of the churches that are dying is because the fire of the Holy Spirit is not dead.
[42:08] You can't even be preaching and teaching theology until the Holy Spirit is on it. You'll be killing people. Because the Bible says in 2 Corinthians chapter 3, verse 6, the letter, kill it!
[42:25] Do you know what gives life? Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. Spirit. The letter, kill it! Wow. So, you have become, now you are doing research to know a lot, to know a lot, so you can say a lot.
[42:38] Hey! Please, get a lot of the Spirit and the little you say will make a lot of impact. Need the Spirit.
[42:50] So, Paul, who was homilical Saul, Acts chapter 13, verse 9, he met this guy, they were trying to preach to the governor and there's this alimas, this guy was trying to be politically and block them.
[43:02] Paul was upset and the Bible said, and Saul, who was called Paul, fear the Holy Ghost. Fear the Holy Ghost. Looked at the man intensely and said to him, you son of the devil.
[43:18] So, you'll be blind for a season. The Bible said, immediately, a mist fell upon the guy. Somebody help me. Somebody help me. Yeah. The Bible said, and now indeed, the hand of the Lord is upon you.
[43:32] Yes. There are times God's hand can be upon you and it will hurt you because you are trying to hurt his work. The hand of the Lord is upon you and you shall be blind, not seeing the sun for a time.
[43:45] And immediately, a dark mist fell upon him and he went around seeking someone to hit him. I can't see. I can't see. I can't see. I can't see.
[43:55] Paul, fear the Holy Ghost. Fear the Holy Ghost and you can't stop the work of God. Fear the Holy Ghost. Some of us are praying the wrong prayers.
[44:06] Wow. Wow. Start praying for the Holy Spirit. All right. How, Pastor, okay, how do I get the Holy Spirit? How do I have it? Because, now, speaking in tongues is one.
[44:19] The other one, because in Acts chapter 4, okay, let's actually go to Acts chapter 2 first. Then we'll go to chapter 4. So, Acts chapter 2, verse 4, they were all filled.
[44:34] They were all, how many of them? Oh. Oh. How many of them were filled? Oh. Wow. So, if you are dead by mistake, Oh. Oh. Oh.
[44:45] Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. Acts chapter 10, verse 44. Ross Peter yet speaks this word. Oh. The Holy Spirit fed upon.
[44:57] Oh. Yeah. Acts chapter 19, verse 6. When Paul and Lady, the Spirit of God came upon them and they spoke with tongues.
[45:13] Wow. Those were listening. They were all. All. All. All.
[45:25] If you are there, you are part of the all. In Acts 4, verse 31. And when they had prayed, the place where they stood.
[45:36] Oh. Ah. Will you be there? I will be there. Will you be there? I will be there. Will you be there?
[45:47] I will be there. Say hallelujah. Hallelujah. Just in case you are wondering, why are they so excited? Because you are also excited about something.
[46:00] We are excited because we love Jesus. That's one. And two, everybody has what excites them. We are just looking for the Holy Ghost.
[46:13] Just let me tell you this. Don't let any human being. Don't give them the right to intimidate your excitement about God. They are on the loose.
[46:26] Loosing end. Don't let anyone. Because someone is there. You want to hear a shout. Ah. When it's time to show you excitement about God. I love God with all my heart.
[46:37] Yeah. Yeah. Bible says in verse 31 of Acts chapter 4. When they had prayed. The place where they had assembled. Yeah. The place where they had assembled.
[46:50] Together. Was shaking. And they were. Oh. Oh. Yeah. How about those who are not praying?
[47:02] Please leave that alone. They were. Oh. That's why you. Don't exclude yourself. From Christian gathering. You are. You are doing injustice to your destiny.
[47:14] And don't let the devil tell you you are a hypocrite. You don't deserve to be there. Let the devil. The devil is the biggest hypocrite. Don't.
[47:26] Don't allow anything to stop you. Because God is the all inclusive God. So as long as you are there. When the Holy Spirit.
[47:36] Because. In Acts chapter 2. Verse 7. It said. It shall come to pass. Says the Lord. That. In the last days. That our poor.
[47:52] Oh. Oh. Oh. Oh. That's why on the day of Pentacles. They were all filled. With the Holy Ghost. Now. Now watch this. So. In Acts chapter 2.
[48:04] Verse 4. They were all filled. In fact. It's interesting. The Bible says that. The place where they stood. Verse 2. It says that. And suddenly there came. A sound from heaven.
[48:14] And filled. The house. Where they were sitting. And they were. And they appeared. The Bible sat on each one of them. Then it talks about.
[48:25] Then they were all filled. Now. So watch this. They had the feeling. If you are full. Will you take more? You can't take more. When you are full.
[48:35] If I have a container here. And I'm pouring something into it. And it's full. It can't take more. But in Acts chapter 2.
[48:46] Verse 4. They were all filled. Then you go to. Acts chapter 4. Verse 8. And Peter. Filled with the Holy Ghost. And then you go to.
[48:58] Acts chapter 4. Verse 31. When they have prayed. The place shook. And they were. All filled. So when does the feeling end? It never finishes. Thank you Lord.
[49:11] It never finishes. They were filled. They were filled. Filled. So. In Ephesians chapter 5. Verse 18. When it says that. Do not be filled with wine. Wherein is excess.
[49:23] But be. The word. Said. And be not filled with. But be filled. The Greek word translated. Be filled with the. Ah. Yo yo yo.
[49:34] You can be filled with that. Wow. You can be filled with that. Then why don't you. Look for that. You are getting filled. With all kinds of things. That are not.
[49:45] It will be helping your life. You can be filled. With the spirit. Jesus was filled. With the spirit. The apostles. Were filled with the spirit. Samson was filled.
[49:55] With the spirit. Elijah was filled. With the spirit. David was filled. With the spirit. Moses was filled. With the spirit. You look through our scripture. They were all filled with the spirit. Filled with the spirit. Filled with the spirit. Filled with the spirit.
[50:06] Paul was filled with the spirit. People were filled with the spirit. And they did things. And now it's your turn. And God. And God has promised that. I will pour my spirit on all flesh. Why won't you seek.
[50:21] To be filled. With the holy spirit. Well. It says that. Don't be drunk with wine. Wherein is it. But be filled with. The Greek word translated filled.
[50:33] The way it was. Translated in English. I don't know if. Maybe ESV or something. Have it slightly different. But it is. Be. Being filled. Some translations.
[50:44] My. The original Greek is. Is present continuous. So it's not. Yeah. So it's a. But be. Yeah. But ever be filled. And stimulated.
[50:54] That's amplified. So. Ever be filled. So it's like. You are always getting filled. You are always getting filled. You are always getting. Because there is no saturation level.
[51:07] There is no point. You get into your life. Where you have been. You have been. Filled to the breath. You always have to be filled. He can fill you. Because. It's always. He's pouring out himself.
[51:19] The holy spirit is like. Oil. He's like water. He's like fluid. It's important. That's why Bible says that. I will pour. My spirit. I will pour.
[51:30] My spirit. I will pour. My spirit. I will pour. My spirit. I will pour. Oh. Receiving the holy spirit. Receiving the holy spirit.
[51:44] Receiving the holy spirit. What must I do to receive the holy spirit? Coming up. Number one. Expose yourself to anointed speaking. Expose yourself to anointed preaching.
[52:03] Because in Acts chapter 10. Verse 44. It said. While Peter yet speak. He didn't have to finish speaking. As he was speaking. The holy ghost fell.
[52:16] Watch this. Watch this. Fell on who. All those who heard. So at that moment. All you have to do. Is to hear Peter speak. That's why I'm confident.
[52:29] Some people are catching something. They're catching something. As you are hearing the word of God. They're catching something.
[52:41] Catching something. So number one. Expose yourself to anointed teaching. Number two. Bible says that. It came to pass. In Luke chapter 3 verse 21.
[52:53] Whilst the people were being baptized. Jesus also. Jesus also being baptized. And was praying. There's something about prayer.
[53:05] And the holy ghost coming. In Acts chapter 4 verse 31. The Bible says. And when they had prayed. The place. The place. The place. When they had prayed. The place.
[53:15] Where they were. Assembled together. Was shaking. And they were all filled. The holy ghost. The holy spirit responds to praying. I didn't say. Responds to prayer.
[53:28] Responds to praying. Praying. So. It's not the answer. To a prayer. Per se. No. It's praying. The act.
[53:39] The activity. Of praying. Being in the atmosphere. Of prayer. Being in the atmosphere. Of prayer. Will expose you. To the spirit of God. Coming upon you. So.
[53:52] Number one. How? Anointed. Anointed. Preach. Number two. Pray. Number three. Is so crucial. That's why. I am very happy.
[54:02] About KB2. Most of you here. Even. If you want to fail in life. It's not too late.
[54:16] Because. You are biting into something. That. You will be hooked on this thing. For the rest of your life. You can't shake it off you. You can't shake it off you.
[54:28] You are. You are biting into something. Something has acted. Because of the assignments. Of your future. Because of what God wants to do. With your future. Something. So. Now.
[54:38] What is it. About KP2. That makes you pastor. Because. In KP2. Encourage in general. But KP2 especially. They have what it takes. That thing. There is something.
[54:49] That. That attracts the Holy Spirit. More than any other thing. That should have been number one. But because of what I was saying. I just kept the other one. One and two. But really number one.
[55:00] If you want the Holy Spirit. You must desire the Holy Spirit. You must desire. I want. Yes Holy Spirit. I want you.
[55:11] I want the Spirit Lord. I want the Spirit Lord. You must desire. In John chapter 7 verse 37. Bible says. The great day.
[55:21] The last and the great day of the feast. Jesus stood up with a loud voice. And said. If anyone tests. The condition is test. Ah. The condition is your test.
[55:34] Yeah. My friend. Are you that thirsty for the Holy Spirit? Yes. Yes. Yes. The way you are so well behaved.
[55:47] When an atmosphere of the Holy Spirit is being created. Ah. And you are so poised. You are so cool. You are so put together. I doubt if you are that high.
[55:58] Because anything you are passionate about. You tend to lose your cool. When that is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
[56:10] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Some of you is football. Yeah. Look at. Look at. Look at how dignified your father is. But because he was.
[56:21] He's a football fan. When they are playing football. Sometimes he can't even see anything in the house. He's standing. What? Some of you ladies.
[56:32] You can spend. Hours upon hours. Of watching. Same clip. Of how to do edges. Yeah. That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. That's true. Tutorials. You can spend time.
[56:44] Because you are so passionate. You never get tired. So. When you are passionate about something. You. You can't hide it. Yeah. You can't hide it.
[56:55] Wow. Because when you are really into something. You tend to lose your composure. Yeah. Oh. You. You claim you are hungry for the Holy Spirit. When we say speaking.
[57:06] We pray. When you are standing there. You are still chewing. God. You don't like him. You are not hungry.
[57:17] You are not desperate. You are not desperate. You are too gentle. Don't tell me. Naturally that's how I am.
[57:28] It's not true. One of the greatest things I've discovered. That attracts the Holy Spirit more than anything. Is desire. Genuine desire.
[57:38] Genuine hunger. Genuine thirst. David said. Ask the dear pants for the waters. So my soul burns after you. Genuine thirst.
[57:50] You are not that quiet. You are not that gentle. It's just that God has not got your heart. If God has got your heart. You'll be sweating more than I am doing. Because there are places you've been sweating.
[58:03] Come on. You've been sweating at the gym. You've been sweating on the bed. You've been sweating. Oh, you've been sweating at places. Because that's where your heart is. That's where. You've been sweating watching boxing.
[58:16] Yeah. You've been sweating. Playing football. Yeah. Yeah. So don't claim. It's not for me. God is actually.
[58:27] I'm making a statement. God, stay out. It's about time. Let down your guard. When you come to God. Let down. Say, God.
[58:37] I want to express myself. Yes. Because some of us. What you need. Is an opportunity to be you. To express your love for God. Society has intimidated you so much.
[58:49] Your background. Your tradition. Your philosophy. Your ideas. Have intimidated you so much. That there's a genuine soft spot for God in you. But you are trying to always suppress it.
[59:02] Surpress. Because you don't want to look fanatic. You don't want to look like the other guys. Because you have a cousin who is so annoying. Every time. Very soon. You're also going to be. The Holy Spirit reacts.
[59:17] Thirst. Thirst. Thirst. Are you thirsty for him? The psalmist said in Psalm 42 verse 1. As the deer pounce for the waters. So my soul pounce after you.
[59:28] My soul. I can't have you enough. I can't have enough of you. Lord. I want you more. I want you more. There's nobody who has wanted more of God. And never got it. Nobody.
[59:41] Nobody. And you will not be the first. Once more. So test. Test. I'm thirsty for you Lord.
[59:53] I'm thirsty for you Lord. And when we say pray. Express it. Don't stifle it. Don't suppress it. Because you don't want to look at that. Who cares? Who cares?
[60:05] Who cares? It's about time. Jesus said. Luke chapter 11 verse 13. He said. If you being evil. Know how to give good gifts to your children.
[60:19] Watch this. How much more will your heavenly father. One of the things you have to realize is. God is the one who gives the Holy Spirit. Pastor can't give you.
[60:32] A pastor cannot give you the Holy Spirit. It's God who gives the Holy Spirit. He said. How much more will your heavenly father. Give the Holy Spirit to those who.
[60:46] That's an expression of desire. Expression of desire. Ask. I want. I want. That you give me. God. God. God.
[60:58] Holy Spirit fall upon me. Holy Spirit fall upon me. One of the signs of people crying out for the Holy Spirit. Is raise hands. This is like. Imagery.
[61:09] The imagery. When you see people with hands lifted. Most of the time. Is crying out for the Holy Spirit. I will leave this. End with these three. Prayer.
[61:22] Or anointed preaching. Prayer. And desire. I've said the other one. So let me add it. Number four. Company. It came on all. All.
[61:33] All. The company you keep determines what accompanies you. All. All. All. All. Magashana. Magashana.
[61:46] If God can ever use you. It's not because you have always been clean. Listen somebody. Hear me right.
[61:58] God doesn't use people. Because they are clean. Because they are clean. Amen. In Acts chapter 4. Or I think chapter 3, verse 16.
[62:11] He said. Peter said. Why do you look on us? Not that one. Go to the verse before. Why do you look on us? Verse 15.
[62:22] Why do you look. Yeah. Why do you marvel at this? Why look you so intently as though by our own power or godliness?
[62:35] Now we have made this. It's the only thing we use that, not because we are so godly, but we have been so available. We have been so available. So some of us here listening to me, your history is not good.
[62:51] You have such a bad spiritual credit history. Some of it from generations. You are so bad.
[63:04] You are so bad. Angels get confused. They got confused when God said, let him go to church. Angels are saying, this one, what can you do out of this? And I heard one angel telling another angel, don't forget, the Holy Ghost can come upon him.
[63:21] the Holy Ghost can come upon him. Because God said, from the day Jesus died, now, the Spirit of God has got a resting place. In the past, the Spirit of God never had a resting place that can rest on people.
[63:38] But now, he can rest on people. And I'm glad to announce to you, you are one of such. God bless you for listening to this powerful message.
