[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.
[0:16] Let me share a few things and then we can. Now, I explain how the Holy Spirit is heavenly comfort, not salving comfort.
[0:27] He said, comfort with forte. When it comes upon you, Jesus said, sorrow has filled your heart because I told you I'm going.
[0:43] But it's to your advantage that I go. He said, look at how he put it. He said, because, John chapter 16, 16, 17. Because if I do not go, the comforter, for it is your advantage that I go.
[1:01] For if I do not go away, the comforter, the standby, the helper will not come to you. Think about it.
[1:12] He said, if I don't go, he won't come. He said, I just have to go in your interest. But there's a way when God wants to bless you.
[1:26] It comes across the instructions and the system of God's blessing can come to you initially. It can come as a chore, a challenge, a problem.
[1:40] But it's your biggest breakthrough. Check. Any big major breakthrough comes after a very hard instruction. After a very strict and hard instruction.
[1:57] Or after a very unusual, relentless drive and pursuit. That comes with extreme levels of sacrifices.
[2:09] Extreme levels of sacrifices generated through passion and desire, relented desire and pursuit of God. It releases unprecedented testimonies.
[2:22] Or either that or instructions. When you study the book of what we are reading, 2 Kings, there was always instruction.
[2:35] Do this. Do that. Look at today's. Is it today or yesterday we read about the woman whose child died? Ah, it's today, right? Oh, that was so nice. Her child had died.
[2:48] And Elijah had healed. And brought the child back to life.
[2:59] And the king was being told the stories of what the king called Elijah, my father. Called the prophet, my father.
[3:11] The king. The king. So, they were telling the king things that have happened. The miracles that God has used this man or God to do. And the guy ended up telling him about how a sexy woman whose son died.
[3:30] And then Elisha went in and brought the child back to life. The king said, huh? Did this happen? And while they were talking, the woman was coming to petition the king because she's been out of town for a while.
[3:43] And some immigrants have taken her land. So, she was coming to petition the king that please. And it wasn't something that she was going to get.
[3:56] But not knowing that when God sent the prophets to resurrect the son, it wasn't just one testimony. It was also something that was securing her future.
[4:07] Her testimony was going to become a door for another testimony. That's why you must learn how to share your testimony. Look at how you were so desperate that God, do it for me.
[4:19] He did it and you kept it to yourself. You are not grateful. You've kept it to yourself. And you are hoping that you will do it again. No.
[4:30] This woman's testimony changed her future story. It wasn't only resurrection she got. She also got restoration.
[4:43] The resurrection was a platform for future restoration. I see someone receiving a testimony. Please sit down.
[4:54] So, you can tell that instructions, major testimonies are birthed from instructions or sacrificial pursuits. It's important to understand.
[5:07] So, Jesus said, it is to your advantage that I go. For if I do not go, the comforter, he said, if I don't go, he won't come. That's what got my attention.
[5:19] If I don't go, he won't come. Hey. Jesus, but we want both of you. He said, no. He said, I have to go so he can come. Because he's another comforter.
[5:31] I lost Paracletus. He's our helper. He's our standby. He comes to strengthen us. As I thought some time ago, the Hebrew, there are two Hebrew words for breath.
[5:46] Or, the Hebrew word for breath is the same for spirit. It's the same for ghost. So, breath, spirit, ghost, sometimes wind.
[6:01] The same. The Hebrew words. But there are two Hebrew words for these ghost, spirit, or breath. The first one is neshma.
[6:14] Neshma. How many of us are breathing? And how many of you, sometimes, most of the time, you don't hear the one sitting near you breathing?
[6:27] Because I don't want to ask how many of you can hear. Because somebody might raise their hand. Because someone is snoring next to them.
[6:41] Because when you become obese, sometimes you run out of breath very quickly. And everybody can hear you breathing. That is a sign of lack of good health.
[6:57] No, it's not a sign of good health. Because you are not really neshma-ing. Neshma is silent. What you are doing is ruwaking.
[7:09] Everybody in the medical field will tell you that we naturally don't ruwak.
[7:21] You only ruwak. Anytime you ruwak or a child ruwak, people say, bless you. When someone sneezes, the person is ruwaking.
[7:33] He's going back. When someone is about to sneeze, and they go like this. Ruwak is coming, you know? Ruwak is coming. And when it came to using, saying, anytime the Bible is using a word for the Holy Spirit, it never uses neshma.
[7:51] It uses ruwak. Ruwak. Even the Greek, the Hebrew pronunciation of ruwak tells you you need strength. If you have COVID, you can't pronounce it.
[8:04] Ruwak. Ruwak. Ruwak. Neshma. Neshma. Ruwak. And the Holy Spirit is not neshma. It's ruwak. When it comes upon you, something, force comes upon you.
[8:19] Power comes upon you. An ability comes upon you. I see somebody receiving the ruwak. Elohim. Receive the ruwak of the Lord. In the name of Jesus.
[8:31] Shariahs. Ruwak. That's what it is about. The breath of God. Not the normal breath, but the forceful breath.
[8:44] So on the day of Pentacles, you remember, there came a sound from heaven. And the sound is like a mighty, rushing wind. Just a sound. Just in a wind.
[8:54] No wind was blowing. But it was a sound. Like a mighty, very strong, mighty, rushing. That's the ruwak of God. And suddenly, Peter, who was running away, they were hiding.
[9:08] He told the elders, tell us what is right, whether we should obey you or God. Hey. Peter, how are you talking? He was with Jesus. Jesus. And after Jesus died, no one knew he was with Jesus until the Holy Ghost came.
[9:23] When the Holy Ghost came on him and he spoke, the people took notice of him. And they said, this guy has been with Jesus. How come he was with them? He was with him all this while. He didn't show in his behavior until the Holy Ghost came.
[9:35] Jesus said, he is with you, but he's going to be in you. He is with you. The Comforter is with you. John chapter 14, verse 17 and 18. He said, the Comforter, the world does not know, the world cannot receive.
[9:48] But you know himself. Even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive. Because he seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But ye know him, for he dwelleth with you, and he shall be in you.
[10:00] So when they were walking with Jesus, he was with them. The ruwak was with them. Jesus is the ruwak of God. Jesus is the rhema of God. He is everything from God.
[10:11] As they walked with him, he was with him. But there was nothing happening in them until the day of Pentecost. And it came upon them in a forceful way, in a powerful way.
[10:22] Now, Peter says, tell us whether it is right to obey you or God. He says, ye elders of the people. If you are being asked, chapter 4, verse 8, Acts.
[10:36] We are being asked of your good deed done to a man. Be it known to you. Hey, what's happening to this guy? Wasn't all these guys who were hiding? We are afraid.
[10:48] They are afraid. When the Holy Ghost came, they contacted ruwak Elohim. Ruwak Elohim. Ruwak Elohim is the Spirit.
[11:00] Elohim is God. The Spirit of God. I see someone encountering encounters with you. If you don't have a test for the ruwak, for ruwak Elohim, you are missing a big time.
[11:15] These meetings, your biggest thing is, Lord, I need more of you. I want more of you. I want more of you. I want more of you. I want to be more angry for you.
[11:26] I want more of you. Listen to this. There's a prophetic, something strongly prophetic going on. Pastor, it will be long.
[11:37] People here, there are people here. Not one, not two, not three, not seven, not 20, not 50, more. When they stand to speak, a minister.
[11:55] People are wondering, but we've known you, where did this come from? It's like, if they haven't seen the one preaching, they said, oh, that pastor has come here.
[12:06] Pastor David Dempsey is speaking. They go and look. No, it's not him. Testimonies are flowing through your life, and it's not Pastor David that is doing it. But you are operating at the same frequency.
[12:20] Somebody is about to operate at the same frequency, and even more. Somebody is about to operate at a greater dimension. By the same spirit.
[12:31] By the same spirit. That's why we are here praying. That's why we are here pressing. We are pressing. Let the spirit come. Let your spirit fall afresh on us.
[12:42] Shout Holy Ghost. Shout Holy Ghost. Shout Holy Ghost.
[12:53] Shout Holy Ghost.
[13:06] Shout Holy Ghost. Those who are not used to this kind of environment, they think this is hysteria. It's not. It's not. It's Holy Ghost. It's the Holy Spirit.
[13:17] Say, didn't he say in 2 Kings 2, tell me what you want. He said, I want a double. Say, it's their spirit.
[13:30] It's their spirit. It's not my language, my training, not my education. Say, why are you looking on us as though it's by ourselves and by our power?
[13:44] This thing is the Holy Ghost thing. It's the Holy Ghost thing. And God has congregated us here. Many people are looking for testimonies, for money, for job, for husband, for wife, for babies.
[13:57] Those things are definitely going to happen in overflowing abundance. But that is not the main. Because, you see, the main central reason for our being here, it authorizes major testimonies to come.
[14:12] There is a way you can get testimonies. There is a way you can get some major testimonies without praying about them. There is a way you can get it.
[14:24] Without praying about them. We have come into an atmosphere where people, oh my goodness. Pastor, he says that when they saw the river parting, Jordan parting, Dida and Hida, they said, there's our shakadaba.
[14:42] The spirit of Elijah. I see it becoming somebody's testimony. I see people. God is using you for miracles.
[14:53] For signs and wonders. You are preaching the gospel. You are taking over nations. You are shaking cities. You are shaking communities. I see you all over.
[15:04] I see the power of the Holy Ghost. I see the Ruach Elohim coming upon you. The Ruach Elohim. I see coming upon somebody.
[15:16] Receive it now. Please sit down. Ruach Elohim.
[15:33] kid Joach Elohim. Ruach Elohim. Ruach Elohim. Ruach Elohim.
[15:46] Ruach Elohim. Ruach Elohim. Ruach Elohim. Ruach Elohim.
[15:59] conference microphone. Spirit. Word. Word. So, when he comes, he comes upon you, as I explained on, I think, Monday.
[16:31] And when he comes upon you, he compensates for your deficiencies. So, when they saw Peter and John, and they knew that they were unlearned, when they saw the boldness of Peter, and they knew that these people don't qualify, they don't have the dimension they are operating in, they don't have it.
[16:55] They knew that they have been with Jesus. Because the deficiencies they had, had been compensated by the presence of the Ruach Elohim.
[17:10] The presence. When there is revival, when we pray, and we pray and the Spirit of God comes, as I told you, there are things that provoke his coming. Hunger and test, the word of God, prayer, expectation.
[17:26] And when he comes, there are things that manifest in the coming. Some of the things that will manifest is sound, a voice. You hear his voice.
[17:36] You are in the crowd, but you can't hear him. Paul fell from the horse, and he was with the people, but he heard what was being told him. When the Holy Spirit comes, you always hear.
[17:49] Because I said yesterday, we have been designed to hear from God. We have been created. God designed us with an ability to hear him.
[18:01] The fact that you can hear him, but no understand. The problem is sometimes we want to understand. We want to understand.
[18:12] One of the things that help you to hear God clearly and more is not your inquiries or your research.
[18:26] It is your yieldedness. You hear God better when you yield to him. So you haven't even heard the instructions coming, but you are saying, God, whatever it is, I'm ready.
[18:40] You haven't heard these instructions, but you are saying, whatever, even if I don't understand it, I am ready to yield to you. Listen, listen, let me say this and move out. God is always speaking.
[18:51] Elijah would have died if he had stayed with what he had at the brook.
[19:05] The brook dried up and the word of the Lord, the word that came told him to go there. Another word came because God is always speaking. If you don't sharpen your discernment to keep listening to God, you can miss opportunities.
[19:20] You will end up killing your Isaac. Isaac said, oh, thank you, God, that my father never stopped listening constantly.
[19:34] Because he had right to kill me, to sacrifice me. But God said, no, it's okay, I don't need it. What if he had not heard that one? He would have been right in the first hearing.
[19:46] But the second hearing, he missed it and killed Isaac. Yes. Why are you taking the word from my mouth? Faith comes.
[20:02] He didn't say, most of us have always understood and seen it that when you hear God's word, faith, no. Faith comes by hearing. And that hearing comes by hearing the word of God.
[20:17] Faith comes. So, if you stop hearing, you don't have faith. Yesterday's faith, it is not powerful enough for today's testimony.
[20:29] So, you have to constantly be walking with God. Hearing. Hearing. Hearing. Hearing. Hearing. And the word of the Lord will keep coming to you. And what you heard yesterday is good, but he's going to say something again to me.
[20:42] And tomorrow, God is about to say something again. And the day after tomorrow, he's about to say something again. And you keep growing in faith and moving by faith because you keep hearing.
[20:54] Faith comes by hearing. Every time the Holy Spirit is moving, first thing that happens, you hear. You hear God's word. Second thing that happens quickly.
[21:08] A desire. Stronger desire. Say, stronger desire. You generate a stronger. All along, you have been very thirsty for God.
[21:19] I want God. Suddenly, Holy Spirit comes upon your life and you even want him more. Suddenly, a lot of other things don't matter anymore. I can tell you.
[21:31] They are believing God. Let's say they are believing God for marital breakthrough. They have gotten to the stage. You know, a woman can get to a stage where it's like, this thing must happen now. It's like, it's natural.
[21:44] It's natural. So, they have gotten to the stage. Let's say they are believing God. Everything. They are serving in God. They are testing. They are sowing seeds. They are coming to church.
[21:54] Their prayer is God. If God says, what can I do for you? Only one. Marriage. Now, you are, let's say they are at that level. And they come in. And they are praying.
[22:05] They are seeking. And the Holy Ghost comes upon this person. Suddenly, by the time you realize, it's not, it doesn't care about marriage.
[22:17] I just, I, and this one is still praying. It's not wrong prayer. But it becomes old school. It's still praying, Lord, my marriage.
[22:28] But this one has moved further. And he comes to a place where I say, whether I marry or I don't marry. And genuinely, now is no one. Whether I marry or I don't marry.
[22:41] And it's not because no one is coming. But it's because, it's because, spirit has come. There's a certain desire. And it's that desire for marriage or for money or for a job or for healing has been replaced or overshadowed by a stronger desire for God.
[23:01] That's when, that's what happens when the Holy Spirit. So, you don't come to the Holy Spirit. And after the meeting tonight, you say, I'm not sure tomorrow, maybe.
[23:13] Tomorrow, I just want to take it easy. You haven't made the spring. Because you planned everything tomorrow towards Valentine's Day. And you come into the meeting. And by the time we are finished, the Holy Ghost comes upon you.
[23:25] And you know what? You don't even, tomorrow, you won't say, I'm, I'm, I'm, tomorrow. In the meeting, you start making, I'll be here tomorrow. Some of you decided you won't miss any of the meetings. In the meeting. In the meeting, it wasn't outside.
[23:38] Outside, some decisions for God cannot be made. There are certain decisions for God that can never be made outside of a certain environment.
[23:49] Because flesh and blood cannot produce that decision. It's when the Spirit comes upon you. When the Spirit comes upon you, a certain desire is generated.
[24:00] And it gives you the audacity to say, no, from today, I'm going to do this. I'm going to pray every evening. I'm going to fastball. I'm going to do three days fasting. I'm going to start winning.
[24:11] So, that is the problem I have with people who are not regularly in an atmosphere like this. And when they show up, they think everything is the same.
[24:24] They think so. They just, oh, it's normal. It's not normal. Especially in an atmosphere like this where people are praying and pressing for the Spirit. It's not normal. It's not normal.
[24:36] Your absence will show in your desire. It will begin to talk. Does that mean everybody must be present?
[24:46] No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, not at all. It's not realistic. It's not realistic that everybody will be present. But some people, you will cancel everything even if it means some things are at risk.
[25:01] You will cancel because a desire has come upon you. A desire has come upon you and you can't. You just cannot afford it. A test.
[25:11] When the Holy Ghost comes upon you, there's a stronger test and hunger. Someone catching something? When the Holy Spirit visits a people in an atmosphere, decisions.
[25:26] Someone say decisions. That's when people make decisions. There are some decisions you can only make. There are times we have to make a decision concerning maybe church or something.
[25:37] And maybe some of the leaders might ask, so what are we doing? Or my wife will be asking what I... I said, no, you let's wait. I just need a certain atmosphere. Many decisions that have to do with the move of God, I cannot make it outside of an atmosphere.
[25:53] No, no, no. I can't make it outside of an atmosphere. Any decision that's made outside of an atmosphere will not enhance the prophetic move of God. You need certain encounters, certain connectivity with the Spirit.
[26:09] At certain times, and you know when you make the decision, you are not sorry about it. Because it doesn't matter how it looks like. You are certain. Because you knew that this decision did not come from flesh and blood.
[26:24] Decisions. So if you are coming here, you are praying, and the Holy Spirit is following you. The way you are crying and shaking, definitely a decision must be made. If you get up and no decision has been made, what you did is hysteria.
[26:39] It's hysteria or like a jamboree. Having a jamboree is not... If it's of the Spirit, it's some decisions we made.
[26:51] You come to a conclusion, I'm making this decision. And that decision is so godly. That's how... Ah! Did you remember I told you that we are going to extend the prayer?
[27:02] Yes. Yes. But I wasn't even sure whether it's 48 or 49. But I said I will know. Why? Because I'm looking for the atmosphere. Once I enter into the atmosphere, I will know.
[27:13] And then when I got it, I was on Amigo. Somebody was like, but why not 50? It's not 50. It's 49. It's not 50. It's 49. It's 49. And I know that it's 49.
[27:25] Maybe by the time we are getting to the 49, I will hear. You cannot have a prophetic advantage if you stop hearing.
[27:39] And sir, when I hear from God, now it doesn't matter the cost in obeying. It doesn't matter the inconvenience. We just know that this is it.
[27:53] And once you begin to move, God goes ahead and makes the way. Our church can never be the same again. Our branches can never be the same again.
[28:07] He said, the spirit of Elijah does rest on me. I need to quote this scripture before I move on.
[28:18] In Numbers chapter 11 verse 17. I will come down and talk to thee.
[28:29] And I will take the spirit that is upon you. And I will put it upon them. Scientifically speaking, it should be, God said, okay, if these are the people I'm going to use, let them get ready.
[28:49] I will just pour the spirit upon them. No. There is a spirit that is operative in this commission. He said, I need to replicate it. He said, go and borrow vessels.
[29:02] Go and borrow vessels. And that oil, that small oil. Oh my goodness. That small oil you have. All you need is extra vessels.
[29:14] The oil will never run out. The oil will never finish. Just keep pouring the oil. Get more vessels. As soon as the vessels finish, the oil ceases.
[29:24] What's happening here is God is gathering vessels. He told me, I know it. I know it.
[29:34] And how did you know? In the atmosphere. When you enter an atmosphere, certain atmosphere, you begin to see the transactions of heaven. That is why many people are, they are so kind of, but they don't know.
[29:46] When you enter an atmosphere, when you walk in a certain atmosphere and you penetrate into the realms of the spirit, you begin to see when people are behaving. You can see that it is off.
[29:59] That's how come sometimes I can stand here and I can look inside the congregation and I can tell some people are very off. Very off. But you have to leave it because the realm, you don't force people into that realm.
[30:12] But you just notice where people are at and you relate with them from where they are at because where you are operating from is a different dimension. It says that bring them and I will take that spirit that is upon you.
[30:28] Anointing is flowing. Anointing is flowing. Anointing is flowing. Anointing is flowing.
