Thank you for choosing to listen to another word-filled message by David Entry. Preaching is the means by which God manifests his word and nourishes our spirits. [0:12] May the life of God enter into you anew as you listen to this message. Be blessed. In Joshua chapter 1, sorry, chapter 6 verse 1, Jericho was straightly shut. [0:24] It wasn't random. The law was passed because of them. It wasn't like they passed a law and they happened to be. No, the law was passed because of you. [0:36] He said, Jericho was straightly shut up because of the church. It wasn't like incidental. It was bespoke to keep them out. I mean, what kind of victory can you get outside of this? [0:52] You can't get victory within this because the problem was created. It's still made for you. And I'm based on what we're saying. The problem was created. [1:04] Most of us, the problems we have is incidental. It's not bespoke. When it is bespoke, wherever you find yourself, it follows you. Because others come, it works. [1:16] You come, it doesn't work. Because it has been programmed to work against you. Jericho was straightly shut because of the children of Israel. None went out and none came in. [1:29] No traffic. He said, this family, nobody gets married. Because they are demonic entities that have been programmed to make sure you, your marriage, will never come on. [1:42] And when you try to refer you to your mother, they refer you to your sisters. They refer you to your grandfather. No, it doesn't happen like that. Jericho was strictly shut because of the children of Israel. [1:52] And it's interesting, when the trouble was made with you in mind, God still will speak. When you find yourself in a crisis situation or trouble, look for what God is saying first. [2:12] Amen. Because when, Bible says that, and the word of the Lord came to Elijah, Elijah, again. The brook dried up in 1 Kings chapter, I think 17 or chapter, yeah, 18 or somewhere there. [2:27] The brook, 17, the brook dried up while Elijah was being hosted. God said, go and hide there. And while he was hiding, the brook dried up. [2:38] And Bible said, and the word of the Lord came to all. It's like the word of the Lord all has fruits. And it came to pass, I was a brook dried up because of verse 17. Next verse. [2:50] And the word of the Lord came unto him. When you come to church, make sure the word is coming to you. My purpose here is not just to pray for you. [3:04] There is a prophetic dimension where I prophesy. But even within the prophesy, it's not everyone who catches a word. Because when we speak, a word is released. And the word of the Lord is finding somebody. [3:15] Oh, come on. Don't forget what he said in Isaiah chapter 55 that, As the rain comes down and waters the head, Snow comes and have effect on, So shall my word be. [3:29] Verse 11. So shall, Isaiah 55, 11. So shall my word be. So shall my word be. [3:44] What kind of word be. It's like the word that leaves me. The word that goes out. Somebody, the word of the Lord is coming to you. [4:02] Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. So shall my word be. [4:13] Someone say, So shall your word be, O Lord. So shall your word be, O Lord. [4:24] What is the so? So is comparison. So have you ever seen it's raining and the ground it didn't get away? And then after it rains, Oh wow, you see the grass and the plants and the leaves and the weeds. [4:38] They begin to come. Because they've come into contact with rain. It says that, What is interesting in that text is that, The rain make it. [4:53] I know some of you didn't hear it. The key word now is make. The rain make it. It's not like the earth wants to do it. The rain will make you do it. It's make it the earth to bring forth and to part. [5:15] There are things buried in the earth. The earth cannot do anything. When rain comes, When it says, Earth, come on. It costs it to come. And it says, When the word of the Lord comes to you, The word of the Lord make it your earth. [5:27] Your life is like the earth. You just met with the soil. It make it things that are in your life. That must show forth. I see your testimony. I see things showing forth. [5:38] I see the word of the Lord making things to happen. I see the word of the Lord making things to happen for you. Shout yes Lord. Shout yes Lord. [5:49] Shout yes Lord. [6:19] To explain how things work in the spirit. Yeah. He uses physical things to explain spiritual things. So he says that, As the rain. [6:33] That's how he started the conversation. He said, As the rain. So he's just using the rain as an example. That's right. For as the rain comes down, And the snow from heaven, And return not dither, But watereth the earth, And make it. [6:51] He said, The rain doesn't come, And then you don't see effects. One, You will see effect that the earth has been watered. Number two, Watch this. Number two, Number one, You will see effects that the earth has been watered. [7:06] But number two, It's make it the earth that has been watered, To bring forth bad. To bring forth and bad. The earth bad. And the earth is pregnant. Bring forth. [7:18] You know, He made us from the soil of the earth. It took human nature. Human being is soil. He said, Dust thou art. Genesis chapter, I think, I think, You don't hang them. [7:45] We bury them. Because you have to go back to them. And it says that, When the word of the Lord come unto this dust thing. When the earth come unto this earth. You know, Remember 2nd Corinthians chapter 4 verse 7. [7:56] It says that we are earthen vessels. We are earthen vessels. So we have treasure in earthen, earthen, earthen, earthen, earthen, earthen, made of soil. [8:09] So we are vessels, But this vessel is earthen. However, It says that there is treasure. There is treasure in the earthen vessel. So that the excellence, The glory will be of God. [8:19] There are things inside you. It's called, Because you are earthen vessel. Earthen vessel. However, God has also put treasure in you. And this earthen vessel, The treasure in it must bring forth, Must part. [8:35] And what makes, What is inside you, Loaded in you, Buried in you to part, Is that the word of the Lord, When the word, Ah, Ah, When the Lord, The word comes to you. [8:46] When the word is released, Into your life. So shall my word be, It shall accomplish, That which I please, And it shall prosper, In the thing where, In other words, No word spoken by God, Will be in vain. [9:08] Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. [9:18] Yeah. Yeah. No complication, No complication, No complication, No complication, In your life, Can invalidate the word of God. He said, God said, My word will prosper, It shall prosper, In the thing, With that, To I sent it. [9:38] God knows, That they said, You can't give it, But he will send his word, There. God knows there are complications around your health, yet he will send his word of healing there. [9:53] God knows there are complications around your finances and your career and yet he will send his word there. Pastor, he said, profess you to the dry bones and say, hear you the word of the Lord. [10:12] He said, say unto them, oh dry bones, hear ye the word of the Lord. Hear ye the word, the word, the word. [10:23] Hear ye the word of the Lord. When the word comes and you can hear the word, whatever is buried in your life, whatever is going down in your life, whatever seems to be dead in your life, I see it springing forth. [10:36] I see it springing forth. I see it springing forth. Shout ye. Yeah. In 1 Kings 8, verse 15, 1 Kings 8, verse 24, 2 Chronicles 6, verse 4, 2 Chronicles 6, verse 15, verse 15, he said that what God has spoken with his mouth, his hand has asked all. [11:16] Thou which hast kept with thy servant David, my father, that which thou hast promised him, and speaketh with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand. [11:29] What his mouth speaks, God's hand can move until his mouth speaks. That which you have spoken with your mouth, you will fulfill with your hand. [11:45] Amen. Amen. I've gone farther than where I thought I wanted to go. [11:57] Something provoked me. But, but Elijah, in the time of fasting, the brook dried up. And Bible says that when the brook dried up, and the word of the Lord came, the word comes. [12:12] Here in Isaiah, it says that it shall accomplish, with that to whatever, it shall prosper in whether to ever, I have sent it. [12:23] God sends his word. In Psalm 105, it said, he sent his word, and healed it. So, Psalm 107 said, God sends his word. [12:37] He sent his word. God sends his word. And when God sends his word, guess what? The word comes to you. And when the word gets to you, and you embrace the word, it will make the earth bad. [13:00] So, what the word does first, is it waters the earth. An unwatered earth cannot bad. [13:12] And bring forth. The earth must first be watered by the word. And after it has watered the word, it will make the earth, it will make the earth, bring forth and bad. [13:25] You know how you get watered? When you are here, first of all, the word is coming. It must water you. [13:36] You must feel like something has come to you. That's it. That's the watering process. And you can, that's why you are not ready for a miracle if you have not received the word. The word must water you before it must bad. [13:48] That's why when you come to church, you have to, one, you have to try and come early so you don't stay at the back. Unless you're a nursing mother. You have to try and come early so you don't stay at the, people who love the back, I don't know what's wrong with them. [14:03] There's never, you can never, you can never pay me to like the back. Now, I'm not saying being at the back is wrong. But what I'm looking for from God, I want as minimal distractions as possible. [14:15] I see you burdened. I see your life bringing forth. Before you take your seat, Joshua, Jericho was strictly shat because of the children of Israel. [14:33] None went in and none came out. And, look at the next verse. Ah. See, and the word of the Lord came to Joshua. [14:45] The Lord said unto him, see, I have given, eh? Jericho, that is shat, yeah, because, so shall my word be. The problem is not a problem. [15:01] If you can be watered. So, Joshua have to guess on watering. God watered him with his word. [15:12] And his word came and said, it, he said, my word shall prosper in the thing we there so ever have sent. It shall prosper in the thing where to I have, whatever the calling, once I send the word, the word prevails. [15:31] I see the word of God prevailing in your situation. I see the word of God prevailing in your situation. And turning your situation around. [15:44] And turning your story around. Receive your miracle and testimony in the name of Jesus. So, the word of the Lord, the Lord said to Joshua, see, I have given into thy hand Jericho, and the kings thereof, and the mighty men of Vela, all of them, to run your hands. [16:09] A word has come. What? So, what should I do? When the word comes, there's always instruction that follows. Look at the next verse. And he shall compass the city, all ye men of woe, and go around, go around about the city once. [16:25] You shall do it six days. And the seventh day, seven day, and the seven priests shall bear before the ark, seven trumpets of ram's horn. And the seventh day, he shall compass the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the trumpet. [16:43] Now, look at the next verse. And he shall come, this is the word of instruction, the word of the Lord came to him. And he shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with their rams on, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout, and the walls of the city shall fall down. [17:05] You see, you see, they built their wall, but God's now sorted this wall out. The problem of taking Jericho is the wall. [17:17] Because it was built to keep them out, and they put borders and gates. Immigration, no problem, if God is with you. So, they built the wall, and God, after the, God waited, when they finished building everything, and it was working. [17:34] Solid systems. And God came to Joshua. He said, Joshua, see, I've given to you, not only the city, the kings, and the mighty men, I've given you your hands. [17:45] Let's go! So shall my word be. When you are confused, look for a word. [18:01] When you are in trouble, look for a word. When you are sick, look for a word. When you are troubled, look for a word. When you need a miracle, look for a word. When you need some help, look for a word. [18:11] When you need an encounter, look for a word. When you need God in your situation, look for a word. When God must intervene, look for a word. What you got to do? Look for a word. The man came to Jesus. He said that my servant lies home sick. Sick. [18:32] And it was the automatic, Matthew chapter 8 from verse 7. Automatic conclusion is, okay, there's a problem at home. Everybody normally tells Jesus, come home. So Jesus said, okay, I'm coming. The man said, no, no, you don't have to come. I'm a man under authority. [18:45] I'm a man under authority. And I said to this one, go and so you don't have to. He said, only speak the word. Wow. He said, don't come to my heart. [18:56] I'm not worthy that you should come to my heart. But only speak the word. But speak the word only. Just all the word. All I need is a word. Somebody, as I'm talking, God has already spoken to you. [19:15] Why do you think he said, he that has an ear? What do you do with your ears? God has spoken. [19:26] Your word has already come. You are wondering. You are wondering. Is that all? Yes. Is that all? Yes. [19:36] In 2nd Kings chapter 5, a man, a captain, a general, general, Syrian army, he was leprous. [19:49] And someone told him, there's a prophet encounter. There's a prophet in Israel. A servant girl said, there's a prophet in Israel. If you can get to that man, you'll sort you out. [20:02] And so, he went to his king. And the king gave letter to the king of Israel. That, I'm bringing this, my general, his, his, his general, his leprous. [20:14] Sort him out. As soon as the letter got to the king, the king said, this man is looking for trouble. How can you ask me to heal a leper? I mean, what can I do? So, the prophet said that the king is crying. [20:26] He's in trouble. He said, what is it? Let the man come. And when the man came, he didn't let him come in. He was standing there. He said, go and tell him. Go and tell him, go and wash seven times in the river Jordan. [20:42] And you know what? May man said, excuse me. He said, I thought he would come out. I thought he would surely come out. [20:53] Did you see that? He would definitely come out to me because I'm a general. I'm very important. I thought he would come out to me and not just come out to me and he would call on the name of the Lord his God because they all knew that prophets call on the name of the Lord. [21:09] So, he would call on the name of the Lord his God and strike his hand over this place and over the... Receive it. Take it. Take it. [21:20] He said, well, the word has come. Wow. What the man needed was encounter with the word. [21:33] But he thought he needed all the power. Take it. One. Take it. Two. Take it. he said I thought he would come out he only sent the word give me an instruction because the word is enough that's why a church that doesn't focus on the word is a very useless church it's not a church it's a club God can't operate without his word if you silence the word you have silenced God if you mute the word close the bible you have muted God that's exactly what I was about to say how can God water without the word he said that he might sanctify him with the washing of water by the word [22:37] Ephesians chapter 5 verse 26 that he will sanctify him with the washing of water by the word the water is the word or the word is the water when the word comes somebody is getting watered I can tell someone I can tell Satim Polakachin how? [22:58] how? how? because I can see the way this lady is getting watered if you can't get watered you will bring forth if you can't get watered you will burn you will burn if you can't get watered your story will change receive the word when you come to church thank you when you come to church you have to master the act and the game of ignoring people what do I mean by ignoring people? [23:34] people who sometimes you think they might think whatever they think is hard to them everybody thinks everybody thinks they might think you are so desperate for marriage no problem yes and then they will be looking at you when you are shouting they won't be shouting they are looking they are looking at you that's what happens since the days of wait wait wait since the days of blind Bartimaeus watch this people have not learned that if I were one of those in the multitude as soon as I saw blind Bartimaeus shouting I will also join in their shouting because there is something about shouting there is something about getting involved shout yes Lord [24:35] I see I see God is turning your captivity around I see situations hey hey hey I see situations turning around I see conditions turning around I see conditions turning around I see conditions turning around What the enemy uses to trouble many people is. [25:16] But I've, for the past four years, I go every time. I keep shouting. I keep shouting. I keep shouting. I keep shouting. I keep shouting. I know people who have been married for 15 years. [25:31] From day one, they kept shouting. No child kept shouting. No child kept shouting. The same thing they've been doing, but one day after 15 years. [25:45] You don't say, you don't say we have been trying and nothing as we have been for the past three years. So we stop it. What's wrong with you? One of these days, one of the trying, one of the trying will become the accent. [26:02] One of the trying will become the means. Shaka da ba ba ba ba ba. Shout yes Lord. Yes Lord. Yes Lord. Jericho was strictly shot because of the children of Israel. [26:25] None went in, none came out. And the Lord said to Joshua, see, this day I have given Jericho into your hands. The kings, the mighty men of valor. [26:36] It says that, tell the people, verse three. It says, and he shall come past the city. And then, verse five, on the seventh day, verse five. And it shall come to pass that when it's, when they make a long blast with their arms on. [26:52] And when you hear the sound of the trumpet. All the people shall shout with a great shout. And the wall of the city shall fall down flat. And the people shall ascend up every man straight before you. [27:07] You don't have to go, they're clear before you. You don't need to just make adjustments. [27:19] Wherever you are, it's a victory location. He said, all the people shall shout. [27:30] And everybody's position will be converted into a testimony position. You just go straight ahead and pick it up. So, we don't shout because we have the victory. [27:42] We shout to release the victory. That's what I'm telling you. May, may drop moments of changes. [27:57] Don't come. No one who will be telling you, you just have to be gentle in the same God. No one who will be telling you. No one who will be telling you. When they tell you that, check their track record of testimonies around their speaking. [28:12] Do you hear what I said? When they water this whole thing down to be some religious jamboree or exercise. Oh, you just have to be, no? They use human thinking, projecting it on. [28:26] They lack insight. Don't let any. Now, this is not an ordinary service. No. These services are programmed to deliver encounters hands down. [28:46] So, what we do here are unusual. You see somebody just, will just jump up and scream and run around the place. [28:56] Because, these are unusual moments, unusual times. Don't let anybody's presence or absence intimidate you. [29:10] And do not allow the issues you are dealing with when you are coming here. Don't let, don't allow it to determine how you get watered. [29:21] Don't let anybody's của Walk Twins new. Is that cord toiling if you don't catch a miracle? [29:34] I do. Think it? Think it? Think it? God there are things to do to catch a miracle there's so many illustrations in scripture and every evening I'm just drawing somebody's attention to the protocols that warrant supernatural interventions and encounters there are protocols if you get the protocol right you'll get the encounter show you'll get sure encounter protocols so sometimes someone need to help you to get the protocols and then after you are taught then you have to now humbly because sometimes humility is very scarce because we are human beings and human creatures we always have the propensity of being conscious of how people perceive us so sometimes in the midst of a move of God when your spirit has sensed [30:43] God is moving you are about to dive in by your thinking oh they will think I'm doing something too much what if you are not wrong what if blind by Timayos had stopped because of what people were thinking he would have two things would have happened to him we wouldn't have known about him there were people who were supposed to have shouted like him in those days so we don't know about him we are not making noise we are making history when we shout some of us all this noise no we are not making noise we are making news news some will sit down quietly and there is nothing wrong in sitting quietly it is just normal and standard procedure so it is ok it is ok it is ok to be normal and calm and standard until you have an abnormal condition if you have an abnormal condition if there are big boils in between your legs listen you can't sit and cross your leg no no no normally you sit and cross your leg but at this juncture what you are dealing with is not a log crossing situation are you getting what I am saying every evening miracles happen so who are those who have been getting it and who are those who have not been getting it you have to query it because the pastor doesn't say you get it you get it you get it no he says to everyone according to their own faith thank you for listening to this message by David Entry to hear more from David Entry follow him on Facebook [32:49] Instagram Twitter and LinkedIn you can also subscribe to Carish Church on YouTube don't forget to share and subscribe to our podcast so you are always up to date be blessed so you are always up to date and I'm not going to share you karena
