Things that Generate Testimonies part 1

[0:00] Thank you for tuning into this message by David Entry. Every true revival is a product of the strong preaching of God's word. May you receive a word from this message that will spark a revival in you.

[0:13] ! That release.

[0:32] Number one is their Holy Spirit. Somebody say their Holy Spirit. Their Holy Spirit. Yeah. Their Holy Spirit. An angel came to Ananias and said, Your prayers and your arms have come before God for a memorial.

[0:55] In other words, God has heard your prayers. Amen. Amen. God has heard your prayers.

[1:05] Amen. God has heard your prayers. Amen. And so send to Joppa for Peter. And when Peter comes, Peter begins to speak.

[1:18] And in Acts chapter 10 verse 44, it says that whilst Peter was speaking, it looks like that's why Peter came.

[1:32] Whilst he was speaking, if I told, the angel told him, send Peter, he will come and tell you what to do. In Acts chapter 11, it says, send to Joppa for Peter. He will tell you words by which you will be saved.

[1:46] Words. Acts chapter 11 verse 5. It says that he will tell you words by which you will be saved.

[1:58] So Peter was supposed to go and speak words. But in Acts chapter 10 verse 44, we hear that whilst he was speaking, the Holy Spirit fell.

[2:10] So this whole thing starts with the Holy Spirit coming upon somebody. Amen. Your real glorious face in God, your real amazing testimony in God starts with the Holy Spirit coming upon you and into the situation.

[2:30] The Holy Spirit when it was time for Mary to have that wonderful testimony that will change his head. Mary said, behold, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.

[2:44] Wow. Luke chapter 1 from verse 47, 46, 47, 47. He said, from henceforth, all generations shall call me blessed.

[2:55] 48. For he has regarded the lowly state of his male servant. For behold, from today onwards, all generations, not only in this time, all generations are calling me, what?

[3:09] I believe from today onwards. You know, we all have a lineage. Your great-grandfather or great-grandparents gave birth to your great-grandparents, and your grandparents gave birth to your parents, and your parents gave birth to you, and you give birth to your children.

[3:32] Your children will give birth to your grandchildren. Your grandchildren will give birth to your great-grandchildren. Your great-grandchildren will give birth to your great-great-grandchildren. Your great-great-grandchildren will give birth to your great-great-great-grandchildren.

[3:47] I mean, it continues like that. There are things that have not existed in your family line from your great-great-great-great-grandparents. but it's about to start from today.

[4:00] Now I'm speaking as a prophet. Whether you have a child or you don't have a child, something is about to come upon you that is changing and is shifting the game in your family line, in your family tree, in the name of Jesus.

[4:23] Shout a glorious amen. Please be seated. So he said, Henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

[4:36] Why? Because he that is mighty has done great things for me and holy is his name. For he who is mighty has done great things for me, verse 49, and holy.

[4:49] What are the great things? The great thing that was about to happen at that time Mary was singing this song. Jesus was not yet born, but she said, Generations shall call me blessed and he that is mighty has done great things for me.

[5:04] Now, when did the great things start? The angel told her, You have found favor and a testimony is coming. But Mary in the verse 34 said, No, how can these things be? Because there's a problem.

[5:15] This, there's a block. This thing cannot happen. But angel said that, Do you know where testimony starts from? Do you know where testimony turns from? Verse 35, it says that, The Holy Ghost shall come upon you and the power of the highest shall overshadow you.

[5:30] Shout yes! So, it says that, The holy, the angel said, You don't have a problem. What you don't have, who you don't know is not your problem.

[5:42] It's if the Holy Ghost can come upon you. And today, I'm announcing to somebody, because of what is about to happen on your life, by virtue of the Holy Ghost, all generations, all generations, shall call you blessed.

[5:57] If you believe in, shout and believe in, Amen! Now, he says, even Jesus couldn't start his work, also the Holy Ghost came upon him.

[6:09] And the Holy Ghost comes, the coming of the Holy Ghost is easier in certain environments. Number one, in the environment of prayer, in the environment of prayer, especially when fasting has gone on, like in the collineous case.

[6:29] Number two, in the environment of Word of God being spoken, when the Gospel and the Word of God is being taught, it creates an environment for the Holy Spirit to fall on people.

[6:46] Number three, in the environment of desire and thirst, when somebody is thirsty, he said, he has filled the hungry with good things.

[6:57] When somebody is thirsty, blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness. Matthew 5, 6, and then Luke chapter 1, verse 53, he has filled the hungry with good things.

[7:10] My soul thirsts after you, Psalm 63. The Holy Spirit works better or flows better in the atmosphere of thirst.

[7:23] In Luke, John chapter 7, verse 37, on the last day, the great day of this feast, he stood down with a loud voice and said, if any man, that is the condition for the Holy Ghost to come upon somebody.

[7:37] If any man thirsts, it's not for everybody, it's only for those who are thirsty. It's for the thirsty. It's for the thirsty. It's for the thirsty. Sharia!

[7:50] Sit down. And the Holy Spirit also flows well. So, what are the conditions that make it easy for the Holy Spirit to come? Number one, prayer. Number two, the word.

[8:03] Number three, desire. Or thirst, desire. Number four, number four is encounters with divinely appointed vessels.

[8:16] or so you can use, you can say, to make it short, appointed vessels. Samaria had received the word. Peter and John got there.

[8:29] They received the Holy Ghost. God sent Ananias to go to Saul. Acts chapter 9, verse 17. And Ananias went in because he was going for him to receive the Holy Ghost.

[8:46] Verse 16 says that, actually verse 17, he says that, the Lord who appeared to you on the road has sent me, the Lord, the Lord who appeared to you on the road to that, has sent me that you may receive your sight and be filled.

[9:00] That's why I came. I came for two reasons. Your sight, that physical thing has happened, but the Holy Spirit is about to fall upon somebody. Appointed vessels, and then let me add one more.

[9:18] Laying on the fence. Laying on the fence. When I talk about the Holy Spirit, I'm not only talking about Holy Ghost baptism, I'm also talking about spiritual gifts.

[9:29] I have a strong conviction that some people are receiving spiritual gifts. Some of us, your heart desire has been God. anoint me with supernatural gifts to do unique things for you.

[9:42] So I can accomplish strange things for you. That's one of the, one of the best things to desire. That Lord anoint me to do great things for you.

[9:53] And those, those kind of desires, you easily get it answered. Amen. Please be seated. So, one, to provoke testimony or to generate testimonies, it is a function of the Holy Spirit.

[10:08] Jesus said, don't step out of Jerusalem until you are endued with power by the Spirit. Until you are endued with power from on high. It takes the power of the Holy Spirit.

[10:20] Luke chapter 24, verse 49, and Acts chapter 1, verse 4. it says that, don't depart from Jerusalem. Wait for the following of the Father which you have heard of me say.

[10:35] And then in the verse 8 it says that, you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost has come upon you. Somebody say power. Power. So he taught them, wait first because you need this impartation for the work ahead.

[10:50] You need this impartation. So, back to Acts chapter 10, when Cornelius sends, the angels asked Cornelius to send for Peter to come. When Peter came, when Peter came, as he spoke, the Holy Ghost fell upon them.

[11:06] In Acts chapter 11, verse 15, it says that, and when I speak, as I was speaking, it says that, as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them as upon us at the beginning.

[11:23] Acts chapter 19, verse 2. Paul, having met some disciples, asked them, have you received the Holy Ghost since you believed?

[11:33] Have you received? And they said, we don't know because after you believe, the first thing, the next thing that must happen is the Holy Spirit. In Acts chapter 8, verse 14, when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria has received the word, they sent, apostles who heard that Jerusalem heard that Samaria has received the word, they sent unto them Peter and John, who, when they came, prayed that what?

[12:02] That was the main reason why they came. Because after you have been born again, the next step is Holy Ghost baptism. Acts chapter 10, verse 45.

[12:15] But those of the Christian who have been, as many as came, because, were astonished because the Holy Spirit has been poured out on the Gentiles also. How did they know? The next verse says that because they heard them, for they heard them speak with tongues and prophesy.

[12:29] Simon the Sosha, how did he know that the people have received the Holy Spirit? The Bible says in verse 18 of Acts chapter, let's start from verse 17, Acts chapter 8, and when they had laid, and then we laid their hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit.

[12:43] Then verse 18 says, when Simon saw that through the laying on of the apostle signs, the Holy Ghost was given. What was the initial outward evidence that people could see?

[12:54] Do you understand that? They could see when they saw, oh wow, something has happened. Oh wow, today a wow factor is about to happen in somebody's life. When they saw it, when someone saw it, said, ah, I also want this thing, that whoever I lay hands on, they will also receive it.

[13:12] Hallelujah. And so, there's always an initial outward evidence by Acts chapter 19, verse 6 says that, and when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit fed upon them and what happened?

[13:23] They began to speak with tongues and prophesied Acts chapter 2, verse 4, they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak with tongues. Hallelujah. Thank you for listening to this message by David Entry.
