Thank you for tuning in to this powerful message by David Entry at Karis Phase 2,! Our Christ Centred Youth Services. You can never find Christ outside of the open Word of God. [0:13] May Jesus Christ reveal Himself to you as you listen. As I stepped in and the prayer was going on, I believe God was downloading something in my spirit. [0:24] So I want to talk about that. There is a prophetic atmosphere. [0:39] See, I have a strong theological persuasion. So I'm comfortable to call myself a kind of a theologian. [0:50] And the more theological you are, or the more theologianic you are, the more you don't have time for something. You don't have time for people shaking and screaming. [1:06] Yeah! No, no, theologians, we don't have time for that. Let's get into it. The Bible said A, B, C. A means C, D, R, you know. And the more you study, the more you focus more on that because then you begin to see the value of that. [1:22] The more you study, you give yourself to study of Scripture and do it more and even dig deeper, the more you see the value of so much the Bible is saying that we don't even have space to keep taking it. [1:41] So you don't have time for a lot of things. You just, let's get into it. Because the Bible has more to say than we can take or that we are ready to receive. You can spend your one verse. There's so much in it. [1:53] You can keep digging and digging and digging and digging and never end. So, and the deeper you dig, the more exciting it gets. So really you don't have time for some things. Theologic, those with theological persuasion are very limited in their approach to, you don't have time for a lot of things. [2:13] That sometimes you can be so theological that when it's even time to sing, let's sing short quickly, sit down, let's just, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's, let's get into it. I don't stand here because I have to say something. I stand here because I have something to say. [2:28] That's right. [2:59] Why is he talking about yeast? Is it because he didn't take bread? We forgot bread. Now he's talking about yeast. And I think that verse 11 said, Jesus said, okay, let's take from verse 7. [3:10] Verse 7. So there is one among themselves saying, is it because we didn't take bread? 8. But Jesus being aware of 8 said to them, O ye of little faith, why do you reason amongst yourselves because you brought no bread? [3:24] Have you forgotten I can multiply bread? Do you not yet understand and remember the five loaves and the 5,000 and how many baskets you took? I don't have issue bread. [3:35] If I want us to eat, we will feast. Nor the seven loaves for the 4,000 and how many baskets you took up. Verse 11 says that, how is it that you do not understand? [3:49] I did not speak to you concerning bread, but beware of the living of the Pharisees. The next verse, living of the Pharisees. Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of living of bread, but their doctrine. [4:04] What's another word for doctrine? Teaching. Give us another translation. Verse 12. Then they understood that he was not telling them to guard against the yeast used in bread, but against the teaching of the Pharisees and the Sadducees. [4:20] He said, beware of the teachings of the Pharisees. The teachings. So, teachings are like yeast. It enters your life and it doesn't just stay there. [4:34] It begins to cause a ripple effect. It begins to expand. And it can pollute any little yeast. Bible said, Jesus said in King James, a little living, living at the whole lamp. [4:48] Little. It's not too much. You don't need too much. A little living. In Galatians chapter 5 verse 9, rather. It says that. And let's give us a different version. NIV. Yeah, a little yeast. [5:00] I like the yeast. Bread dough, small. You put it in fire, in the oven. By the time the other husband, it looks so nice. You can't have bread without yeast. [5:11] They put it on less bitter bread. And those bread that you have to tear like material. Like leather. So, yeast is that. [5:22] A little yeast works through the whole bunch of dough. That batch of dough. That's serious. So, a little teaching you expose yourself to is working in your entire life. [5:38] So, wrong teachings don't leave you the same. Wrong teaching. Wrong information. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. You go and listen to some things in your life. [5:49] Some people never recover again. A pure pastor is a teacher. But I'm not just a teacher. I'm a theologian. [6:01] I help you to see things that are buried in scripture. And to explain the theological positions. For you to be solid. [6:12] Because a little living. Yeast. Ruins the whole batch. Ruins the whole batch of dough. The whole dough is salt. Small yeast. [6:24] The whole thing is inside. Because some of you, the people you keep listening to. Some of you. You know, sometimes it's very easy to not to know you don't know. [6:36] Yes. The more ignorant you are, the more you don't know you don't know. The highly educated you are, the more you are open for other opinions. [6:48] The more you don't have space for other opinions. The less educated you are, the more you don't have space for other opinions. The more you know, the more you know there is to know. [7:02] You just know there is more to know. I'm trying to explain a certain position for you. So, I step there and then I realize that there is, ooh, there is a prophetic pool that has been unleashed, opened. [7:19] A prophetic pool in this building. Prophetic pool. I stepped in it. That's why what was happening was happening. People were crying without anyone telling them anything. [7:32] That is when revival starts coming. When people's hearts are beginning to turn. When people's hearts are beginning to respond to God. Sometimes they respond with tears, with cries. Oh Lord, I need you. [7:43] I need you. When people come into a state of humility before God. Brokenness before God. Sometimes they cry. Oh God. Oh God. It's not everybody who is asking for forgiveness. Some are asking, they are desperate for more anger. [7:56] It's an expression of anger. I'm angry for you. A prophetic pool was granted us here by heaven. And when a prophetic pool is granted, what happens is not what happens in the service. [8:15] What's the most important thing is not what is happening in the service. But what is happening in the service is it has a cascade domino effect on people's future. [8:30] How you get it? So this thing that people were crying and then people were, oh Lord, and we are laying hands. It's not here. Give it time. [8:40] Give it time. [9:11] To begin to see things about. I don't see it comprehensively. Because no one can see it comprehensively. That's when you are meddling into demonic environment. [9:22] You want to see it comprehensively. No. But in the atmosphere, God begins to give me a glimpse. So sometimes I can call you out. And I don't have the full picture. But I can see something is trying to lift you. [9:33] Something is trying to. So all I say is that an elevation is coming, a lifting is coming. But I might not be specific because I don't have the specifics. Watch this. [9:45] My job as a prophet is to release the word. When the word is released, it's like destiny is now for grabs. So Bible says by a prophet, God brought them out of it. [10:02] What does prophet, prophet speaks. But when a prophet speaks, something happens. For instance, somebody who, let's say is barren. [10:15] Doctor says he can't give it. And a prophet meets you. Say I'm telling you next year by this time you have a child. Suddenly that word that has been spoken moves and begins to rearrange and realign. [10:27] So watch this. There is always the need when it comes to a prophetic atmosphere. For the prophetic word to be released. Because when a prophetic word is released, the power of God for creation, for miracles, is on. [10:42] Do you understand that? That's why there are times people come to Jesus. Jesus has to say something. The prophet says that tomorrow morning by this time, a sea of fine flour will be cheap at the gates. [10:57] And the guys say, no, how is the prophet? The prophet has spoken. It has begun to change. When the prophet speaks, the things, the elements, things begin to shift. [11:11] This is very important. So they were going to fight. They were going to fight. Our enemy has surrounded them. And they were going to fight. And in verse 15, 2 Chronicles chapter 20, God said, God said, the battle is not yours. [11:25] The battle is God's. The battle is God's. And he says, what should we do? He said, tomorrow morning, go before them. Go before them with singers. [11:38] And as you praise the beauty of holiness, it should be. He didn't tell them the solution. Oh, he said, he gave them the prescription, but not the solution. So go before them, face them. [11:49] And as they went, Bible, and then when he finished telling them, it says that, verse 20, 2 Chronicles. So they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekua. [12:01] And as they went, Jehoshaphat's students said, hear me, O Judah and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem. Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established. [12:12] Believe in his prophets, and you shall prophesy. Why not God alone? Because God uses their prophets. So a word that issues out of the prophet's mouth is an instruction from God. [12:28] Elijah comes to the woman, the widow of Zarephath, in 1 Kings chapter 18. And he tells the woman, give me some water. [12:40] Give me some water. And she was going to bring the water. And he said, can you also add some cake, small cake? The master will say, you got it wrong because I have only small oil and flour. [12:51] And I'm about to make some bread for myself and my son. We eat and we die. And the prophet said, go and do as, that's very funny. [13:03] Go and do as you have said. That's what the prophet said. 1 Kings chapter 17, verse 14. The prophet said, go and do what you have said. Then he said, but make for me first. [13:18] Elijah said, do not fear. Go and do as you have said. But make a small cake from it first. And bring it to me. [13:33] You think the guy is taking advantage of it. Look at the verse 1. Elijah, the teacher, that's when he prophesied that there shall be no rain. [13:45] And then the Bible says that the word of the Lord came. Now go to the brook and I'll sustain you. So Elijah went to the brook. He stayed there. And the Lord was sustaining him. Ravens were feeding him. [13:56] And then he was drinking water. Then the brook dried up. When the brook dried up, the Bible says the word of the Lord came to him again. All right. So, and then it happened after a while, the brook dried up. [14:08] Because it had not been raining for that long. And then the Bible says that then the word of the Lord came to him saying. What did he say? Go, arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to you. [14:20] And dwell there. See, I have commanded a widow there to provide for you. Then he meets the widow. He said, give me water. The widow said to the, those that prophets have a way that the rest you can identify them. [14:33] He said, oh man of God, water I can bring it. Then when, as she was going, he said, add cake. The woman said, I don't have much to take care of. [14:45] In fact, we are about to die. This is our last meal. So I was, when you saw me, I was gathering sticks as you came and met me. To go and do the last meal. So me and my son, we will eat and die. [14:57] So it's our last meal on earth. We are about to die. That's our last meal. The prophet said, okay, just go and do for your son. But make some small for me first. [15:09] It doesn't have to be big. There needs to be a point of contact. In Luke chapter 4, verse 27. [15:21] The Bible says that, 25, let's start from 25, that makes sense. It said, but I tell you, many widows were in Israel in the days of who? Wow. When the heavens were shut up three years and six months. [15:36] And there was great famine throughout the land. The next verse. But to none of them was Elijah sent except. Elijah was actually sent to the woman who said he was about to die. [15:51] How can someone who was small meal to eat and die sustain you through the famine? She herself doesn't have a future. It wasn't about Elijah. It was about the woman. [16:04] God sent the, God can sustain his prophet anyway. By sending the prophet to Zarephath, to the woman, for him. To sustain. But he said, I've commanded her to feed you. [16:16] Meanwhile, she didn't have food. And yet God said, I've commanded her to feed you. The prophetic is very interesting. It's very interesting. So, I've said all this to just let you know, there's such a strong prophetic atmosphere here. [16:33] I saw something like, you know, when you go to events and then, like weddings. And the bride and the groom are dancing. Then they push that smoke and it's all over. [16:45] I saw something like that kind of smoke. But this one, it is a prophetic atmosphere. I saw it on us. When I came. Do you understand what I'm trying? [16:58] So, we are, so it's like you are in the plane, but you are in the clouds. You are on the plane, you are in the clouds. You are in the clouds. [17:08] When it's raining, you don't feel it. Because you have gone to where the, above the rain. So, what I'm trying to say, I saw an atmosphere. And I said, if I teach the same message I taught this morning, I have the notes. [17:24] But I began to realize, it's an emergency. Teach people how to maximize a prophetic atmosphere. See, so I just said all this just to tell you the topic. [17:41] The title is a teaching on its own. So, maximizing a prophetic atmosphere, a prophetic encounter. Because, you know, remember what I said. [17:54] It's not so much about what is happening here. Yes. But, what is happening here, what it's going to give birth to. We can all be here, but not all will step into the manifestation. [18:10] Do you understand that? Not all will step in. There were so many who came from Egypt, but not all entered the promised land. So, you can step into an atmosphere, and there's something in it for you, but you can miss it. [18:26] So, I want to show you. I'll just run them. If those of you who are not praying and you're watching, you see I was writing. Just dropping my spirit. Let me just show quickly. [18:38] In a prophetic atmosphere. When you step into a prophetic atmosphere, things to do. Number one, it requires a crazy faith. Crazy faith. [18:52] As I lay my hands on you, I saw that God has settled you in us. It's added to you. Amen. But, this can come and pass and go. [19:05] Because, when the word came, 1 Timothy 1, verse 18. It says, this church I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies that were made previously concerning you. [19:20] That by them you can walk. So the prophecies don't just come and then it's there. Prophecies don't fulfill themselves. Prophetic environment, atmosphere, somebody must bear in mind and do take some steps for the fulfillment of the prophecies. [19:43] You might wage a good welfare concerning these prophecies. Number one, as I was saying, it requires a crazy faith. You heard from God, ignore those who didn't hear what you heard. [19:59] Listen to this. God will bless you. Now, some said amen, others also said amen in agreement. [20:12] Others said amen because they feel, that was a prophetic word for me. So whether conditions were convenient, that's a load. That's why here somebody said, the pastor said, and I tapped into that word. [20:26] You know what I'm saying? But how about others? They listened, they agreed, they felt, wow, that's a nice thing to say. Wow, the place is powerful. But they didn't tap into it. The only way you can collect is when you connect. [20:39] Yes! So, it takes a certain level of faith. That is why it is very dangerous to embrace negative stories about your prophet. [20:55] Yes. Yes. Yes. Because it has a way of blocking your heart from receiving openly. Now, listen. If, oh, this is a good illustration. [21:06] Thank you, Jesus. In the kingdom, it's not about buying and selling. Yes. It's about what? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Watch this. Yes. [21:17] Don't mind the people in the world, they don't understand this. Yes. Yes. Yes. How many of you have engaged in the covenant practice of giving before? Watch, watch, watch this. And you saw the reaction, the result was mind-blowing. [21:29] Yes. Giving, those who have not practiced this, they don't know. Those of us who have practiced it, we have seen that it work. Yes. We have seen it work. Oh, yes. [21:40] It's strange. It works strange. So, God is about, let's say, God is about to promote you financially. Yes. Watch this. That's not based on natural trajectory. [21:52] It's based on prophetic word. Amen. There are people, prophets, prophesied to them and within hours or within days, within months, their story has changed. They have become what prophets said. [22:04] That's what happened to David. Then he became a king because prophetic word came to him. If God wants to make him a king, why does the prophet have to risk his life? Because the prophet said that if Saul finds out I'm going to anoint him Saul will kill me. [22:18] But God said, I need you to go. I'll protect you. Because the only way he can be a king is when you go and prophesy to him and anoint him. So, I have to send you to go. [22:30] And sometimes you'll send a prophet, go and say to this person, if God would do it, why doesn't he do it anyway? No. A prophet has to speak. Then, the word that is spoken, that's why you have to be careful for people who speak about you and speak against you. [22:45] Sometimes, that when someone speaks negative about you, that you, you will suffer. Refuse it. Say, I refuse it. That bad auntie, say, auntie, I reject it. Reject it. [22:58] Because, when they speak, they set something in motion, spiritually. And, the words will be hijacked. That's how curses work. Curses are worse. They are spoken against you. [23:10] Negative voices are speaking against you. And, you have given those voices grounds. Because, there is legitimacy. So, powers of darkness, hijack those words and work with it. [23:20] So, when someone, a witch tells you, you, you will see, you have to speak back. That's what David did. When Goliath said, I will kill you, David said, I will kill you back. I also killed you. Because, words are power. [23:33] Words are containers. But, some of the things, you, listen, this is very important. They speak that about you. Don't take it lightly. Fast and break it. [23:44] Even if the person is false, fast and break it. And, reject it. Overturn it. Renounce it. It will not have any negative impact on you. Sometimes, somebody can say something, and the thing will rest your heart. [23:57] For it to trouble you. Because, someone has told you, that when you marry, I see you won't be able to have a child. So, guess what? It will stay with you for soul. When you are marrying, you are thinking, it will stay with you. So, you need to undo it. [24:09] You need to renounce it. And, sometimes, that is what I'm telling you, prophetic atmospheres. Sometimes, you have to seize, opportunity, in a prophetic atmosphere, and take some steps. [24:23] Take some steps, and undo things, that are pending against you. Are you hearing what I'm saying? I'm teaching something very, strong and deep. [24:33] Yes, virtually. I mean, someone, your mother, sometimes, you have to just ask your mother, or your father, family history and things. Because, if your, if your grandfather was a murderer, there's a curse on the family. [24:45] Yes. For anyone who commits murder, is cursed. Mm-hmm. And, curses don't stay with only one generation. Mm-hmm. Curses and blessings. If it's blessing, that's why, if there's a pastor in your bloodline, there's a priest in your bloodline, it stays, some blessings come on the family. [25:01] Amen. Yeah. Yeah. So, in a prophetic atmosphere like this, you have to take certain steps, to suspend, if there's a pending case. Mm-hmm. Or, if there's a prophetic word, for it to manifest, don't think that, don't think that you can just walk into it, because they've said it. [25:19] Mm-hmm. You have to, you have to battle with it. Take steps. The first principle, is, everything is about, being radical in your faith. [25:29] Yes. release your faith. So, that's why, it's very, very problematic. If you are dealing with a prophet, you don't believe entirely. Mm-hmm. [25:40] How can you put, faith in the word? Mm-hmm. Do you understand that? How can you put it? So, I was giving illustration that, God said, you are going to be a, a, a milone. [25:52] Amen. Amen. You know, God, that's the prophetic word. Amen is not enough. That word is hanging, but it doesn't mean it will happen. Amen. Yeah. [26:03] You have to now wait more. Yeah. Bear that in mind. Instantly do something. Amen. Sometimes you can go into prayer and fasting, based on the word, that you have heard. [26:13] You are fasting, Lord, let your word come to pass. Even that, you will not see it immediately. But, you don't govern your life. When God is going to give you prosperity, it means that you are going, you should be sowing a lot. [26:27] That's how prosperity, prosperity doesn't answer to prayer, prayer and fasting. You are fasting, so you'll be, no, you don't fast to be prosperous. Covenant prosperity answers to giving, and sowing. [26:38] So, then, then you begin to, now, somebody whose word is not, is not that person's word, might think, what is it? If it doesn't happen, it doesn't affect them, but you. [26:49] That is why, a covenant son, a covenant daughter, must learn, how to operate fully, by faith, and leave those who ridicule. There are always people, who don't believe. [27:01] When Jesus was preaching, and a lot of disciples left, because he taught something, they didn't believe it. Paul was speaking, after he preached, and people got born again, they had to stone him. So, the Bible said, but those who didn't believe, they spoke evil of them. [27:18] When people don't believe, they don't even keep quiet. Yeah, Acts chapter 19, verse 9, I think so. But when some were hardened, they did not believe, but spoke evil of the way, Paul withdrew the disciples. [27:30] They speak before others. They don't keep it to themselves. They be told, why is this that? Why is the pastor preaching that? Why did they tell you to shout? Why did they tell you to jump? Why? I don't, some people out of unbelief, not inquiry. [27:43] Out of unbelief. And you can tell when somebody's operating in unbelief. You don't have to explain why you sow seeds to someone who is in unbelief. You don't have to explain it. [27:54] They will see your results. Your results will explain. Amen. Amen. So, number one, in 2 Kings chapter 2, verse 14, when he got to the Jordan, he took Elijah's mantle, and he approached it, because he saw Elijah do it. [28:15] So, now he's returning. He did it, and he went, the cross. Now he has to cross and go back. So, now here, all he had was mantle. He took the mantle, and he struck the waters, just like, just like Elijah did. [28:30] He didn't waste time to say, okay, so what should I do? God, if you are with me, he knew that, when the ongshin comes, strike. Strike. [28:42] Don't waste time. Act fast. Every prophetic word, comes with an instruction. If God said, you, are going to be so blessed this year, you, you'll be all right. [28:57] That means, you yourself, as you are hearing it, you, the next thing you should say, what am I supposed to do now? What step should I take? Don't be saying, amen, and just that. Amen is necessary. [29:08] The expression of your faith. But, as you are saying, amen, you are thinking, okay, what are the steps I have to take? What are the steps to take? Covenant blessings, respond to steps. [29:23] Every time God gives you a promise, look for the steps. Look for the, it's only magicians who do all things without steps. You don't have to take steps. [29:33] But when it comes to God, take steps. So, he took the mantle and swept the water. In 2 Kings, chapter 13, from verse 14, it's a very beautiful story. [29:48] Elisha was sick, and the king came to him, said, my father, my father. The king called the prophet, my father. Don't mind those people who say, I call him, yeah, papa. Wow. He said, oh, my father. [30:01] So, then, Joash, the king of Israel, came down to him, and wept over his face, and said, oh, my father, my father, the chariots of Israel, and their husband. [30:13] That means it's no good news, because our men are going down. But Elisha said to him, take a bow, and some arrow. So, he took himself a bow, and arrow, some arrows. [30:25] Then he said to the king of Israel, put your hand on the bow. So, he put his hand on it, and Elisha, put his hand on the king's hand. That's divine backing. [30:37] Yes. Somebody came here, one way, you're going to go out with divine backing. That, that relationship, that didn't work, because demons were fighting you, and so many things were going on. [30:59] It's because you didn't have divine backing. From this moment, after the prophetic word, you are going with a prophetic backing. and the king put his hand, and he said, shoot, and then he shot. [31:20] He said, shoot, and then he shot. Open the window, and he opened it. Then, Elisha said, did you see that? It's full of instructions. Elisha said, shoot, and he shot, and he said, the arrow of the lost deliverance, and the arrow of the lost deliverance from Syria. [31:38] For you must strike the Syrians at Asak, Afek, till you have destroyed them. The next verse, that's where it's going to get interesting. Then he said, then he said, take the arrows. [31:50] So he took them, and he said to the king of Israel, strike the ground. So he struck the ground three times, and stopped, and the prophet was angry. You are not smart. [32:02] You are not smart. You are just interpreting this normally. The prophet was angry. He said, the man of God was angry with him, and said, you should have struck five or six times. [32:16] Strike. When the destruction comes, move, but don't move normal. Don't move normal. You need some crazy faith. Somebody is trying to deceive you. [32:29] Oh yes, let me be deceived. Trust God. So, he says that, you should have struck six or, five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you have destroyed them. [32:40] But now, you strike them only three times. That's when, and then the prophet died. The prophet, he was coming to the end of his life. And he came to Elijah. [32:51] Then he lied. So he didn't die because of the man, but he was dying, but he wanted to give this man an upper hand. But he was too comfortable. That guy was too comfortable. He wasn't going far enough. [33:02] Strike. When a prophetic season comes into you, strike. Strike. And don't strike small. Don't strike normal. [33:12] Strike wild. Strike wild. Strike. When a prophet, how can, listen, why are you crying in a prophetic atmosphere and you finish, you get up, all you do is wipe your tears and it's finished. [33:29] Ah! Look for opportunity. What should I do? Strike! Don't get up and wipe your tears and then that's all. So what's the point of crying? [33:41] I felt something. So move. It's a prophetic atmosphere. Move! Move! You see, there was a message. The message is yours. [33:52] Take it best now and see if your story will not change radically. Without the help of man, if help comes, fine. [34:02] But when God says to be done, the one who is supposed to help him, they don't help him. God will even raise a stronger help. Amen! Amen! Somebody say strike. Strike! In a prophetic atmosphere, what do you have to do? [34:16] Strike! In a prophetic way it comes to you, strike. Number two, I just have four. Number two, oh, I like this. Make haste. [34:30] Quick! It's not time to delay. Before the naysayers begin to make you think, ah, move fast. Haste. [34:42] In 1 Kings chapter 21 verse 8. The last line says that, okay, David said to Abimelech, is there not there on hand a spear or a sword? [34:59] For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapon with me. Why? Because the king's business requires haste. [35:10] Wow. The king's business just move. He left his sword. He left his sword because he moved so quickly when he got there. Remember, do you have any spear, sword? [35:21] Do you have any spear? spear? Because the king's business requires is I left without thinking I've left something I don't need. The hastiness made me move when it comes to prophetic where sometimes you can move in haste. [35:38] when they say somebody jump and shout. You jump forgetting that your wig can't stay. You understand? It's after you finish you remember it. Because you are so absorbed into the movement you allow yourself to move fast. [35:55] That's why some of you here when I finish preaching I'm going to call you if you want to give your life genuinely to Jesus move fast. You're running out of time. Move fast. Move fast. [36:07] Haste. You have to do so quickly. When God told Abraham sacrifice Isaac to me. Early in the morning. Genesis chapter 22. [36:20] So Abraham rose early in the morning and sat on the donkey and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son and they set out. Early in the morning. [36:32] They didn't tell Sarah. Listen. There are some things you know. I said it. I said it. I don't know how many got it. But I know you got it. There are things God tells you to do. [36:43] Sometimes it's better don't explain it to certain people. Don't explain it. God they don't understand. They don't. They were even not there when God spoke to you. They don't share your convictions. [36:56] They don't share your convictions. How can they understand your steps? Remember when it comes to perfecting things we move based on convictions. They don't share your convictions. [37:08] How can they share your steps? Were there not twelve disciples in the booth and Jesus said come? It was only Peter who did. [37:20] What were the rest doing? They were spectators. They were watching. Only one. Peter said if you tell me to come. And Jesus didn't say Peter come. He just said come. [37:32] Everyone come. Only Peter. God they didn't share his convictions. But the truth is sometimes you can't explain. [37:45] I mean your brother is a theologian. He doesn't understand prophetic things. Come to tell him that I feel God has led me. He will tell you you are going out of your mind now. [37:57] Listen. Listen. Listen. You are taking it too far. Your mom is planning to do a big 60th birthday and then suddenly you tell him the church is buying a building and the money we wanted us to use to buy the house down payment. [38:16] I feel God is telling me I should give. Mom will say eh. Wait for what is coming. naturally the way she will react it doesn't matter she can be a pastor but she will react because it's affecting her personal interest and her personal safety. [38:37] She has plans for this. How? She's depending on you. How can you say that? God said God said no no no no no no no I'm telling you me to hear from God then she also threw her own in. [38:52] Sometimes fathers when they are spiritual they will be careful. They will not agree but they will be a bit careful. Fathers are usually slightly careful before they challenge what your convictions are. [39:06] Mothers usually the once is not favorable for them. That's how God has made us. We men and men we are different. Yeah. Someone learning something. [39:19] Learn how to move wild. Learn it. Sometimes you have to learn it. If I can share my heart with you. I pastor different people and I see things turning for them. [39:35] if you struggle to be a giver it will be very difficult for God to bless you in a certain way. If you struggle to let go by faith it will be difficult. [39:53] Those tiny tiny attempts you better turn it around because all have moved on. All have been settled. [40:03] All have been settled. all have been settled. All have been settled. And I've seen them getting settled one after the other. All have been settled. All the brothers are raised together. [40:14] All have been settled. What is it? It's not your health. It's your practice. There are things you are not doing. So there are things they are doing that has given them an upper hand and speed. [40:31] Hmm. The only thing is when you are exposed to a prophetic environment it's a big opportunity for you to change the trajectory of your life else in few years it will be showing. [40:45] Yeah. Someone receiving something. Oh yeah. So number one is what? Strike. This is how to exercise crazy faith. To maximize the moment this is how to exercise your crazy faith. [41:00] Strike. Number two. Haste. Number three. Yay. Are you ready for this? Slaughter. Slaughter. In 1st Chronicles chapter 21 1st Chronicles chapter 21 verse 24 to 28 David made a mistake and counted the people of Israel and there was the anger of God was against Israel and people were dying. [41:26] The angel of death was killing people. They were dying. David said God please have mercy. David didn't know what to do. And then he remembered I will use the means of sacrifice. [41:38] So David went to Arona Amnon verse 24 then the king said to Onan he wanted to buy the land to use it for sacrifice for God. [41:55] And he said the king is buying from me. No, no, no. It's like after church if I ask you to buy me milkshake from McDonald's somewhere would you take the money? [42:06] Ah, what's that milkshake please? You even buy three. Every flavor yeah. Every flavor they have. [42:17] You strike yes. So the king says I want the land. He said oh, take it. Take it. You are the king. Take it for whatever. David said no. [42:29] I'll pay full price for it. I will not take it. What is yours for the Lord because I won't give your money as offering. That's not my offering. [42:42] So he said I will not take what is yours for the Lord nor offer burnt offerings which with which that which cost me nothing. This must cost me something. [42:53] I must feel it. Yes. Yes. I must feel it. I must feel it. I must feel I've done something. I must feel it. I have to this was not killed. Slaughter. [43:07] Then and he said to the king give him the price and the king bought it and when the king bought it he paid for it and then watch this and then and David built an altar to the Lord and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings and called on the Lord and he answered from heaven by fire on the altar of burnt offering and look at what happened then the Lord commanded the angel that return return yourself stop it angel is enough this slaughter has moved me this sacrifice has moved heaven angel is enough in 2nd Kings chapter 3 when they were going to war the kings were against them and then the prophet Elijah said verse 17 you shall not see rain you shall not see wind but the valley will be full of water and then he told them God will give the Assyrians or your enemies in your hands God he told them God will give them your hands so they went for the battle and then the battle was fierce and then let's go to verse 24 so when they came to the camp of [44:15] Israel Israel rose up and attacked the Moabites and saw that they fled before they came and they entered into their land killing the Moabites then they destroyed the cities and each man threw a stone on every piece of the land go to the verse 26 26 and this is what I'm looking when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him he took with him 700 men who drew swords to break through to the king of Edom but they couldn't now this is getting bad he used his last resort the best men who drew sword let's go but they couldn't then realized that now now now now we are being narrowed our backs are being picked so then he took his eldest son who should reign in his place and offered him as a burnt offering upon not to the lord it's just spiritual sacrifices work so he took his son you know what it means your son now when you are not there all the work you have done he's the one who is supposed to continue it the one who should reign he took him he said this is the best ever thing in my life he took his son and snorted him and what and there was great indignation against [45:32] Israel the people God was with everything turned against them why because that sacrifice was too powerful everything turned so so Israel departed from him and returned and the guy escaped power of slaughter power of slaughter whatever is fighting your marriage the slaughter must speak and some of you are getting it some of you are getting it slaughter some things are fighting your destiny your ministry your family no one goes past a certain point this prophetic atmosphere has brought you to the place where you are about to close the line you are about to close the line you are about to close the line slaughter slaughter took his first son and slaughtered him slaughtered him and suddenly there was great indignation against Israel so Israel back off [46:42] God told them I have given them to you defeat them but they back off because a sacrifice this is too heavy weight in the spirit slaughter slaughter slaughter let me give you the last point crazy obedience yeah you believe this is what God says I don't care I don't care anything I obey God I obey God God told me to go and kiss him God didn't say that it's madness listen when God wants to bless you he will grant you access to his voice yeah you will know God is telling you something some of you when I finish preaching I'm going to call you for it to pray for you you want to obey Jesus for the rest of your life you want to serve him you know God is talking when God wants to bless you he will grant you access to his voice how do you know his voice because you will know that this one God is talking to me when God is talking to you you will know [47:50] God is telling me something you will know it because this is what yesterday you were thinking about how come the pastor is talking about it wow and there's no if he's sometimes not only one he's speaking about something else that you were just thinking about it this morning with your friend what am I going to do and the pastor comes talking about it and sometimes where he comes to stand and he's pointing your direction you know that no this way I can't escape you know God is talking to you the best blessings God can give anybody is access to his voice that's why you don't have to miss church because church is we make room for the voice of God is there a possibility God is going to you access to his voice don't harden your heart instead of being offended in what the prophet said open your heart God is talking to you instead of being offended now you are thinking why did he have to say that to me maybe you are going you are gone years will come and you realize nothing has changed you are reading into a prophetic statement [49:00] Elias said make for me first don't ask just make for me first that's why it's difficult to enjoy from a prophet you don't believe in you see how things change so quickly when your heart disposition got intense you said you are my prophet for life suddenly God remembers you God remembers you this is supposed to be the year this was the year crazy obedience some people Abraham they said sacrifice your son he said okay I'm taking my son Abraham now you have taken this thing too far God God said Abraham you did this that's crazy you did this now I know you fear me like he didn't know something previously no not that he didn't know but your statement has proven without a doubt to angels history [50:09] God said in blessing I will bless you because thou has done this thing because thou has done this thing it was a prompt instant obedience crazy obedience crazy obedience is there something that you are supposed to do for God which you yourself sometimes feel like am I not doing something too much as long as you are doing it in faith and it's not against scripture in faith not in fake to impress! [50:44] this it's interesting these things I'm teaching why because I was coming to teach on great awakening but God gave me a word everything I'm teaching I wrote it when I was on stage because of the nature of the prophetic environment started downloading this is the step every prophetic environment requires a step strike and don't be afraid strike hard don't strike soft strike hard move extreme move extreme for extreme results Abraham obeyed God in a radical fashion and Naaman he went for healing 2nd Kings chapter 5 verse 10 the prophet said go and dip yourself in Jordan the prophet said to Elijah sent a message he didn't go directly he said go and tell this powerful man that [51:48] I don't have to see him he should just go and wash seven times in the Jordan and his flesh shall be restored your flesh shall be restored to you and you shall be clean that's all the guy! [52:00] said what what kind of instruction is this this is nonsense instruction he was little girl told him that you are going back with your sickness what's wrong with trying just do it maybe you never know so verse 14 says that so he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan according to the saying of the prophet and his flesh was restored like sometimes it doesn't take too much there's a curse on your life but you can suspend the curse with certain prophetic actions because you can repair the past but you can do something to stop the past the results of your negative past to execute against you you can seize it you can seize it he said go and watch seven times what kind of obedience is this his colleagues will be laughing at him he said we have better one but you know what he said that's what he said you let me do it if he doesn't appear [53:17] I go and kill him and he did it he obeyed it's called crazy obedience you can't explain it to people they will think you are becoming a fanatic you are going too far what's wrong with you what's wrong with you what's wrong with you they will tell you what's wrong with you prophetic environment don't leave this environment and go back there saying thank you for choosing to listen to this message by David Entry we hope you are blessed by it you can connect with David Entry on all relevant social media platforms including TikTok and threads there's also many more messages to listen to from David Entry on all relevant streaming platforms and on the Karish Church app be blessed
