[0:00] Welcome. Thank you for choosing to listen to another faith-building message by Pastor David Entry. Faith comes by hearing and by hearing the Word of God.

[0:12] May your knowledge of Jesus Christ increase as you listen. Be blessed. Jesus Christ was so saturated with the power of God that people had to just touch the hem of his garment.

[0:25] And power begins to... It's not only the woman with the issue of blood who did it, you know. She wasn't the only one who did it. Afterwards, many others were doing it. As I showed you in Mark chapter 6 verse 50, 54, 50 something somewhere there.

[0:42] Mark chapter 6. There are others who did it. And the Bible said they brought the sick by the wayside so that as many as would touch and begged him that they would touch the hem of his garment.

[0:53] And as many as touched the hem of his garment were healed. Why was that happening? Because he was a carrier of the presence. He was a carrier of his presence. Say the presence.

[1:05] Moses said, God, if I have found favor in your sight. If I have found favor in your sight, show me your ways. In Exodus chapter 33 verse 13 and 14.

[1:20] He said, if I have found favor in your sight, then show me your ways, O Lord. And the Bible says that God said to Moses in verse 14. He said to Moses, and he said, my presence will go with you and I will give you rest.

[1:34] Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. Why? For thou art with me. It's the thou art with me factor that makes the difference. Right?

[1:45] Right? So, God told Moses that my presence will go with you and I will give you rest. If you host God's presence, some things can come around you.

[1:59] That's the truth. Some things can stay around you when you are a host to God's presence. Someone is blessed.

[2:10] I agree. I said, someone is blessed. I agree. Someone is blessed. I agree. So, it's necessary and important to understand that the presence of God makes a huge and a significant difference.

[2:27] It's important to appreciate the fact that Moses told God that, show me your ways. God said, my presence will go with you and I will give you rest. And Moses said in the next verse, verse 15.

[2:39] Then he said to him, if your presence does not go with us, do not bring us up from here. God, don't bother taking us if your presence can't go with us. Securing his presence.

[2:51] I was talking about, so how do you attract his presence? I spoke about how Paul, right, he, the presence was so strong around him that apron from his body, handkerchief from his body was sent and it was healing.

[3:04] That's the presence of God. So, what must I do to be able to secure God's presence around me? What are some of the things I have to do to secure? There must be a desire.

[3:15] In life or in God, God works with desire. Do you want this? Right? Do you want this? Do you desire it?

[3:27] So, I like the way the psalmist puts it. He said, as the deer pants for the water, so my soul pants for you. You alone are my heart's desire and my love to worship you.

[3:42] God wants us to desire him. In the book of Isaiah, it says that God loves to hide himself so that someone can search for him. Seek God.

[3:54] He says that for those who seek me, they will find me. So, you can seek God. There must be a desire because there must be a desire. And I spoke about fasting. Am I right?

[4:05] When you fast, you draw God's presence in a way that is different. Because you separate yourself from normal living unto God.

[4:17] Because of that, that dedication provokes response from heaven. Right? Heaven responds to dedication. That's why when people sacrifice, God moves.

[4:30] Heaven responds to dedication. So, if you place God first, it places you first. In Acts chapter 13, the Bible says that there were prophets have met and teachers.

[4:41] And they were serving God in fastings and praying fastings. And then the Holy Ghost said. Because of the atmosphere. When you create a certain atmosphere, it's easy for the Holy Spirit to step in.

[4:52] When you fast, you access the supernatural faster and in a unique way. Fasting. So, when you fast, it has a way of drawing God's presence.

[5:05] Drawing. Jesus Christ himself. He was the father. Luke chapter 4 verse 1. He was taking drink into a wilderness and he fasted. And he came out full of power. Because he has attracted the presence of God.

[5:18] And Luke chapter 4 verse 1. It talks about being filled with the Holy Spirit. Returned from the Jordan where he was baptized. And was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. Verse 2. He was tempted and he fasted.

[5:29] Being tempted for 40 days and further. And in those days, he ate nothing. And afterwards, when you read Matthew's account, he fasted. So, he ate nothing. Another way of saying he fasted.

[5:40] And then Luke chapter 4 verse 14. Verse 1 talks about he went full of the Holy Ghost. Verse 14. Luke chapter 4 verse 14. He came out. Jesus returned in what?

[5:52] In the power of the Holy Spirit. Verse 1. What does verse 1? Let's all read verse 1. Let's go. Verse 1. Luke chapter 4 verse 1. Let's read it. That Jesus be filled with the Holy Spirit. I want you to read it out loud.

[6:03] Okay, let's go. That Jesus be filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus what? Being filled with the Holy Spirit. Returned from the Jordan and then went into the wilderness. Now, let's see when he was living in the wilderness.

[6:14] Verse 14. Let's read it out loud. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you. How are the Holy Spirit? Your God. God and His Son. Thank you. Thank you. God and His Son.

[6:25] He didn't have to pay for admittance. You need to carry His presence. You carry His presence. And everyone wants a bit of you.

[6:36] Not because of how you look. But there's something about you. There's something about you that attracts destiny helpers to you. Yeah. it's called the presence Jesus returned in the power of the Holy Ghost and watch this, he returned in the power of the Holy Spirit and news I like that word and news of him went out through all the surrounding regions they knew he had come out how? something something made people talk advertise you, have you seen that guy I think we should consider that one this guy, that new job position that is coming we have to give it to this guy person we have to give it to this person others are dying and paying and trying to lobby around you don't even know you are still somewhere and they are looking for you because you carry a presence and Bible says he went to the synagogue he took the scroll, he read it when he finished, he gave it at verse 19 or so he gave them back the scroll and then verse 20 says that, and then when he closed the book he gave it back to the attendant and sat down and what happened?

[7:44] all eyes of those who were in the synagogue were fixed on him because why is it that he went and sat down and all eyes were on him so it's important to understand that when you fast you engage heaven show me someone who fasts and is working in the principles and I'll show you someone who attracts God's presence you don't fast because you want to lose weight we fast because we are dropping weight that weight on your shoulder down of my shoulders people you you you you you enjoy divine liberty there's there's there's there's there's there's something that's so nice about freedom freedom so it's very important to understand that when we fast we provoke God's presence fasting makes us shine fasting makes the presence of God the glory of God to be a reason on us and then I want to add this when you fast curses lose their hold on you he said that in Galatians 3 that he said

[9:21] Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law now you know what the curse of the law is that one is the curse God said must come on you if you break the law listen to that very carefully the curse of the law is the curse endorsed and sanctioned by heaven and Bible says that heaven has sanctioned a curse but Christ has redeemed us from that one so which other one then can still linger is permitted to linger when the biggest the the main authority has has overruled a curse on your life when you fast it brings you into an atmosphere supernatural atmosphere that any curse that must might have been lingering around your family and it's been transferred from mother to daughter or father to son or it's it's running through the bloodline some of you know what I'm talking about those things can be terminated through fasting you break it and you stop its flow doesn't matter how long it's been in the family three for it stops on with you it stops with you it stops with you amen and bible talks about how numbers chapter 23 numbers chapter 23 i think verse 6 and verse 7 someone was employed to go and curse them numbers that's the last scripture and he returned to him and there he was standing by his band's offering he and all the the princes of Moab then verse 7 and he took up the oracle and said

[10:57] Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram from the mountains of the east come curse Jacob for me that's the Israelite okay and come denounce Israel he was employed he said I mean if a king employs you to do something for him you must be good at what you do yeah you must be an expert for a whole government to employ you to do that for them so the king employed him to come and curse these people listen it doesn't matter how powerful those who are working against you are now watch this let's finish that look at verse 7 put it back on the screen quickly and then so verse 8 says that what and he said how shall I curse whom God has not cursed and how can I shall I disnow whom God has not denounced because do you know what it's not that now that he's saying he tried it it wasn't working so his employer said what's wrong we are losing money here things are going bad what's going on what's wrong and he said boy I can't curse the guys because God has blessed them he said

[12:09]  I cannot curse whom God has not cursed or who God has blessed he says the reason Jesus came to die for us is so that the blessing of Abraham can come upon you now if you haven't come into Christ then this thing I'm talking about you may receive some blessings here and there or something but it's not resident because it's not your heritage it's not your heritage and Satan will be beating you no it's not everyone who can easily be a victim it's not everyone who can suffer some things you are not permitted to suffer some things that others suffer you are not shout yes Lord thank you for listening to hear more from David Entry follow him on Facebook Instagram Twitter and LinkedIn why don't you subscribe to our YouTube channel at Carish Church and subscribe to our podcast so you are always up to date be blessed you and
