[0:00] Hallelujah. We thank God you've tuned into this message by David Entry at Caris Church. No hand can help you with the fulfillment of your destiny, but the Word of God. May God's hand align you further into your destiny through this Word.

[0:17] Amen. Please be seated. That was a very good shout.

[0:30] Amen. Wow. I am about to prophesy.

[0:47] But not the way you think. Not just God is going to give you a shoe. God is going to give you a dada. I'm about to prophesy.

[0:58] But let's read the text first. Hallelujah. How many of us are thirsty for more of God?

[1:10] You will notice that this kind of thirst, it grows. Based on what circumstances you expose yourself to, it grows.

[1:28] And I see the more the thirst grows, the more advantaged you become. Amen. Amen. I see the thirst growing. Hallelujah.

[1:42] Praise the Lord. How many of you got a chance to read your Bible today? Like the Bible, the verse is there. It says that, Blow the trumpet in Zion and sound an alarm in my holy mountain.

[2:00] Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of the Lord cometh, for it is near at hand.

[2:10] God, we are stepping into a certain terrain. In the calendar of eternity.

[2:22] The calendar of heaven. We are stepping into a certain terrain. And God is about to do amazing things. Amen. A day of darkness, a day of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness.

[2:41] As the morning spreads upon the mountain. A great, oh, a great people and a strong. There has not been ever the like.

[2:56] Neither shall be any more after it. Even to the years of many generations. Wow. I'm describing you. Amen.

[3:08] There's a new generation emerging. Amen. Amen. We thank God for the lives of the elders of old.

[3:21] Never take their work and their labors for granted. You will be grounded. Never take people who have been peace setters.

[3:33] Who have gone ahead. Never take their works and labors for granted. The more you honor them. The more you appreciate them.

[3:44] The more you value them. The more you give yourself the right to enter into their labors.

[3:54] Jesus said, I'm sending you to go and harvest John chapter 4. From verse 36.

[4:07] Others have labored. And you are about to enter the labors of others. That's how God works. These are peace setters. If you take them for granted.

[4:19] Maybe they might not even do something that God has called. Every generation has a new assignment. So every generation is supposed to be a plus. Or we are supposed to build on what the previous generation has done.

[4:32] So there are certain revelations about the move of God that are about to step into our generation. That other generations might not have captured it that way. Because every generation. God is always moving in every generation.

[4:43] And there are Smith Wigglesworth's and Count's. Zing, zing, doves, God is raising here. Do you understand that?

[4:56] 200 years later, if Christ carries, people will come and be reading about you. And they will say, well, we have never seen this. The earth has never seen these people's type of anointed vessels.

[5:12] So every generation has its own special group of people. Hallelujah. And so it's always important that every generation, the succeeding generation, gives reverence and value and respect to the preceding generation.

[5:34] It's important. So any community that fails to respect their elders, their community never have any better achievements. One of the reasons why the Jewish community is doing very well, they do well, is because from childhood, you are taught to give respect to elders.

[5:54] So there are people who are ahead, who God will always bring us to step in their labors. It's their labors. They labored, but we are going to harvest.

[6:07] So others have labored. And you've been, bro, it says that, I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labor.

[6:18] Give me New King James, because this one, a lot of people won't understand it. I sent, I sent you to, I sent you to reap that which you have not labored.

[6:29] For, for that which you have not labored, that for which you have not labored. Others have labored. And you have entered into, you can enter into other people's labors.

[6:41] And the only thing that authorizes you to benefit and enjoy from other people's labors is their honor you give to them. Even when they make mistakes, they have made mistakes.

[6:54] So you don't focus on their mistakes and forget how God used them. You will deny yourself from entering their labors. Even if God is going to use you mightily, you, you, you, you, you deprive yourself from entering what they have labored for because of the issue of lack of honor.

[7:13] Do you understand what I'm saying? You will never find me talking against people who God has used to bless me and bless this generation. No, no, no, no. It doesn't matter. Even if they are don't treat change and they go off.

[7:24] It's not for me. It's not my place because it's bigger than me. So that authorizes me to continue from where they left off. Oh, yes.

[7:35] You can step into other people's labors. Anytime people try to make you downgrade the value God has placed on a human being because of the way he used them, those people who are using, instigating you or influencing you to downgrade their value are the ones Satan is using to hedge your future.

[7:52] You will be realized, but you will be disconnected from what could have polished your destiny. So it's important to always remember every generation God raises people.

[8:04] But I said, these people are coming and they are already in this room. Verse 3 said, So you see, the Garden of Eden, let me explain this.

[8:35] It's like before they come. So demonic activities, Satan, things are flourishing. When we come there, by the time we finish, all those things are flourishing like wilderness.

[8:49] Wilderness. We radicalize places for Jesus. Satan will not have a place to put his feet. It's a unique type of people. And so that means that we have to keep pushing and seeking God for a special use.

[9:06] The appearance of them is as the appearance of horses and as horsemen, so shall they run. Wow. They are running normally, but they are like horsemen.

[9:17] You are fasting and not stopping. You are praying constantly and people are wondering. They want to criticize, but they realize there's something on you. You are operating with a supernatural strength.

[9:32] They are like horses and like horsemen. They move like horsemen. Like the noise of chariots on the top of the mountain shall they leap.

[9:44] Wow. Like the noise of a flame of fire that devoureth the stable. As a strong people set in battle array.

[9:56] For their face. Sorry, sorry. Before their face, the people shall be much pained. All faces shall gather blackness.

[10:09] They shall run like mighty men. They shall climb the wall like men of war. They shall match everyone in his way and they shall not break their ranks.

[10:20] Neither shall one trust another. They shall walk everyone in his path. And when they fall upon the sword, they shall not be wounded.

[10:36] And an army is rising. They shall run to and fro in the city.

[10:47] Landing and everywhere in Faram. You say landing. They shall run upon the wall. They shall climb up upon the houses.

[10:58] They shall enter into, in at the windows like a thief. They can't stop us. Before they realize we are already in. He said they shall enter like a thief through the windows.

[11:14] It's an anointing. Somebody say it's an anointing. It's an anointing. Say it's an anointing. It's an anointing. Somebody is catching that anointing. Shout hallelujah.

[11:26] Hallelujah. Oh, thank you, Lord. The earth shall quick before them. The heaven shall tremble. The sun and the moon shall be dark.

[11:37] And the stars shall withdraw. They are shining. These people are wild people. These are miracle workers. Today, God spoke to my heart.

[11:49] As I know that, he said, I saw. He spoke to my heart. The overflow anointing. Amen. Say, I received the overflow anointing.

[12:00] I received the overflow anointing. Verse 11. And the Lord shall utter his voice before his army. For his camp is very great.

[12:12] For he is strong that executed his word. For the day of the Lord is great and very terrible. And who can abide in it?

[12:24] Therefore, now this is what we have to do. Therefore, also now, says the Lord, turn ye even unto me with all your hearts. And with fastings.

[12:36] And with weeping. And with mourning. And rent your hearts, not your dress. Does this when they are sad? They will, rah. He said, I don't need that one.

[12:46] It's your heart. Rent your heart. Let your hearts be broken. Not your emotions. Your hearts. There is not the music that is moving your heart.

[12:57] Something must break in your heart. God said, give me your heart. So, and then, time will not permit me. When you go to the front, verse 25 is amazing. My people shall never be put to shame.

[13:09] But, now, the prophetic indications I was getting from the Lord is very overwhelming and very strong. Very overwhelming and very strong.

[13:20] The anointing to operate miracles. I see it growing in this building.

[13:33] I'm not saying I'll be doing miracles. It's coming on you. You will be working miracles. Operating in the gift of the Spirit.

[13:44] Please sit down. Sit down. I've got a few things to cover. The Lord, the Lord spoke to my hand that an anointing is breaking loose in this place.

[14:02] Amen. And God is giving people what seemingly they are not qualified for.

[14:16] Don't take elders for granted. Anointing decision. Maybe if you blow air. 700 demons are flying. They blow air.

[14:27] Nothing is happening. Even flies are not falling. The elder lays hands. No one is crying. You just do this. And 80 people are falling and crying.

[14:39] So you can tell the intensity of the anointing, so never think you are at the same level with an elder. Anointing-wise, yes, but equity-wise, being an elder is equity.

[14:55] And there are labors that elders engage in that sometimes you might not notice. But over a period of time, it procures a blessing.

[15:05] Every move, God raises elders for every move. And the elders may not be the foot soldiers, but God has a way of heavily making sure that they benefit enormously in their natural lives and their family lives.

[15:25] From the blessings of God that comes upon a group of elders, that comes because people are seeking God. Clap for Jesus. Please be seated.

[15:37] Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

[16:11] Thank you. Thank you. anointing I see happening here. There's an overflow anointing. Say, I receive it in Jesus' name. Listen down.

[16:23] Miracles. The working of miracles. Gift of the Spirit. Some of you, by now, I won't be surprised you've started seeing dreams. I won't be surprised.

[16:34] It's going to be, say, it's going to be very intense and some of it is going to look a bit scary. The only condition is give Him all your heart. And keep yourself clean.

[16:45] And then, like, separated. And the points I shared yesterday, the separation aspect, the separation aspect, the consecration aspect to fuel your expectation.

[16:57] So, sorry, the dedication aspect. When you become, excuse me, dedicated, feeding your spirit and yourself with things that God has done, what it does is, it begins to fuel your expectation.

[17:13] Your dedication will fill your expectation. But your separation and consecration will create a platform for such a flow of God over your life. God doesn't use exceptionally unsanctified vessels.

[17:31] a friend of mine, we have a chat many years ago, he says that holiness is a booster for anointing.

[17:43] Holiness, a booster anointing. So, some of you, God has actually given you victory over sin. Let me put it this way.

[17:53] Victory over your struggles. Those sins, you know, the things that you've been struggling. Within this season, God has given you, stay there! Don't go back to what triggers it.

[18:07] Because it will come with force this time. It will come with extra force. Because I know people have gotten victory. It's deliverance, actually. This season, some people, if you have got deliverance, that means that God is calling you to a higher plane.

[18:23] This is because there's a bigger assignment for your destiny and you're about to step into it. So, don't think it's just coincidental. No. It's God, God-sidental. God is at work.

[18:37] I saw anointing overflowing. Listen, I saw people's, you see when you, when you dip your hand in, um, honey. Oh, you're for flowing in people's hands.

[18:52] But I saw something very, you see, if you watch Safari, and the lion has just finished eating buffalo. Oh, buffalo.

[19:07] I agree, that's how we say it. Lion has just finished eating a big antelope. When you see the lion, you know that it's just finished eating. What do you see?

[19:18] Oh, blood. Something like that, but this one is oil. Oil. A don't. anointing. One of the things that is good is when you begin to have tests for anointing.

[19:33] Oh, it's good. It's good to test for anointing. Listen, it's a gift from God. If you don't have a desire for the anointing, that is also not a blessing.

[19:45] But you are just, you are being normalized. When you begin to desire, develop a test for anointing, it means that heaven is trying to favor you.

[19:56] God, those things don't come naturally. No natural human being would desire or test for anointing. But sometimes God will use pictures and scenes to help stir an anointing in your life.
