Thank you for choosing to listen to this Spirit-filled word by David Enshree. When you catch a word, you have called God. May you catch a word today that will cause God to change your story. [0:14] Be blessed. Acts chapter 10 verse 28-29 I was fasting and it says that the Corinthians said, Four days ago I was fasting until this hour. [0:27] I was fasting until this hour. And at the night hour, I prayed. When you are fasting and you get to the hour of prayer, there are doors in heaven that are opening supernaturally. [0:45] He said, I prayed in my house and behold, a man stood before me. There's an angel. And the same story, verse 1. [0:56] It says that there was a certain man called Cornelius. It was an Italian. A devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the poor and prayed to God always. [1:12] Now look at the next verse. This was about the ninth hour of the day. He saw clearly in a vision. The Bible is narrating what happened. [1:25] He said, what time did he see? Ninth hour. What did he see? How did he see it? Clearly. In a vision. What did he see? An angel of God coming in and saying to him, Cornelius. [1:41] Cornelius. The angels know your name, oh. The angel came the same way. He said, God sent an angel called Gabriel to a city called Nazareth to a virgin called Mary. [1:55] It was specific. The angel came and he said, Cornelius. Called him. He says that your prayers and your giving, your almsgiving, has arisen to God as a memorial. [2:11] It stayed in the presence of God. Wow. He says that, so he says it to me. Your prayers and your alms are canonical for a memorial. Because of that, you need a prophet. [2:22] He said, therefore, send to Joppa and send for Simon, whose surname is Peter. Go for him. Send to Joppa. Why? [2:33] Because your prayers have been answered. Peter said he was minding his business. He went to the rooftop to go and pray. [2:43] Verse 5. Now send to Joppa. Verse 6. He was lodging at all exactly where he was lodging. And then, yes. And when the angel spoke to the father, Cornelius called. [2:55] All right. Go to the next verse. The next day. As they went on their journey and drew near to the city, Peter. So it's there. As they were moving, Peter went up onto the housetop to pray. [3:09] And about the sixth hour, the next day, not the same day, the next day, he also fell into. So could we see what happened? In verse 10. [3:20] Then he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were cooking, so he was hungry. While he was waiting. You see, when you're hungry, it's easy to enter the spirit. [3:33] He fell into a trance. Do you know why he fell into a trance? Yes. Because Cornelius has been fasting. It wasn't about Peter. So somebody's fasting. [3:45] Fasting. Which will take about two days, Jenny. Because when Peter got there, he said four days ago. Four days ago. So he. [3:56] And he sent the guys. He said. But you know when you read verse 1 and 2, it doesn't say he was fasting. He just said that he was at the ninth hour. Okay. Okay. He says that. Verse 2. And I don't fear God and all that. [4:09] It said about him. Generals. Then the next verse says that. About the ninth hour of the day. He saw clean. And he. So. But then when Cornelius was telling his story in the verse 29, 30. [4:21] He said. I was fasting. Until this hour. Four days ago. I was fasting until this hour. And at the ninth hour. [4:32] I prayed. What am I trying to tell you? We have been fasting until this hour. And then this time we are praying. That means that some people are about to have trance. [4:44] Shout hallelujah. Hallelujah. Listen. About the ninth hour. At this hour. When you are fasting. God begins to move. Especially in the atmosphere of prayer. [4:56] In the atmosphere of prayer. And when you are fasting. God begins to move. I see God moving on your behalf. I see God moving on your behalf. [5:08] Some people are about to have a dream about you. Some people are about to have a vision about you. Some people are about to just bump into a message. That has been sent to them about you. [5:18] And they've forgotten. Some people are about to receive. See that email that you sent. Which they haven't seen already. Hey. Hey. Hey. Any letter. Any phone call. Any message of favor that belongs to you. [5:30] Which does who have you haven't seen yet. I prophesy. It's coming back alive. In the name of Jesus. Shout out to me. Amen. I think in Isaiah chapter 43 or somewhere there says that, I will give, verse 4 rather, Since you are precious in my sight, You have been honored, and I have loved you. [6:02] Therefore, I will give men for you and people for your life. Shout out to me. At the same hour, as I prayed, angels started moving. [6:15] Watch this. Angels move. People were hungry. Food was delayed. They fell into trance. I mean, all kinds of things and heaven opened and God started rebuking Peter. [6:27] Yeah. Why? Because of Cornelius fasting. Wow. Yeah. Peter saw a vision. God said, eat. He said, no, no, I can't eat. He said, eat. He said, don't go unclean what I have got clean. [6:39] Because God was about to send him to a Gentile. Saul was happy. Ah, my daughter likes him. Good. How happy. Bible said, it pleased Saul. [6:51] It pleased Saul that this thing is going to happen. He pleased. He was happy. Michael Saul's daughter loved David and they told Saul and this thing pleased him. Look at the next verse. [7:02] That's where the next verse. Why did he please him? So Saul said, I'll give here to him that she may be a snare to him and that the hand of the Philistine may be against him. Therefore, Saul said to David the second time, you shall be my son-in-law today. [7:19] Do you know what David said? David said, hey, me, me, oh my gosh. It was a trap. Pray that Lord. Anything that has been planted in my life which looks like it's rather something that I treasure but it's meant to be used by the enemy to hurt me. [7:37] You want to pray? And when we start praying, you want to pray that Lord anything that is being used to lure me into trouble. that's been used to lure my destiny out of direction. [7:53] Anything that is being used, Father, I overturn. I overturn. Let it be paralyzed. Let me escape it. Let me escape it. Let me escape. This isn't God who calls you to escape. [8:06] God who calls you to escape. God who calls you to escape. You escape from the snare of the fowler. From the snare of the fowler. [8:17] From the snare of the fowler. From the snare of the fowler. Saul said, I will give her to him that she may be a snare to him. [8:27] Anything that has been sent in your direction to be a snare to you, you will escape. You will escape. You will escape. You will escape. You will escape. You will escape. [8:39] You will escape. Rick, I pray that this hour of fasting, at this hour in this fasting, you shall not be a victim. You shall escape. You shall escape. [8:50] You shall escape. You shall escape. Any job situation, relationship, accommodation, housing, offer opportunities, that seem to promise you what you want, but it is a trap. [9:07] I pray that you shall escape. I pray that you shall escape. I pray that you shall escape. I pray that you shall escape. You are your household. [9:19] You shall escape. You shall escape. Come on, somebody pray. I escape. I escaped with my children. I escaped with my children, with my family. I escaped. [9:30] In Jesus' name. Now listen. Bible says that the women they, when Saul was coming they cut that and they started singing his praises. [9:45] They were singing his praises, singing. Oh. But the lyrics of the song became like made David like a collateral damage. [9:57] So the women sang as they danced and said Saul has slain his thousands and David has slain his David's his ten thousands Saul has slain his thousands and David his ten thousands Hey! [10:17] And when Saul heard that it's a nice music he likes it when the women are singing to him but no, no, no, no, no this guy Now, David didn't do anything wrong from that time the problem then Saul was very angry about it and the saying displeased him and he and he said they have ascribed to David ten thousands only a time now they are going to give him the kingdom this is not a good political move collateral damage David didn't know he would have told the women don't sing please sisters don't sing don't sing don't say it sometimes somebody somebody may be saying something good about you at work did you know that what they are saying is rather exposing you yeah yeah so what happened see so Saul now listen [11:18] David is from a poor home he said it David said I think in verse 26 or somewhere he said my house is poor my family is nothing we are from poor so David is from he said and David said does it seem something delightful to be a king's son-in-law see I'm a poor and a light hey so David and then the king set his eyes on David can you imagine David didn't have a chance he wanted to eliminate him so David went back to be doing his job in the palace and then he took a javelin shoot at David but because of the spirit of God upon him he died yeah look at verse 12 that's what I want you to see now Saul was afraid of David why because the law that is what this fasting is meant to do for you yesterday I spoke if God be for us who can be against us [12:28] David faced Goliath and he said the Lord is with me he will deliver you to my heart I'm telling you that the God factor the God factor sister there is a oh there is a God factor brother there is a God factor that will make a difference in your life don't abandon the God factor don't abandon the God factor receive grace receive grace when I stand here when I stand here and I begin to speak I'm speaking on the behalf of heaven and I release God's grace and power as the words come and as you open your heart and receive it I see it working for you I see it working for you people will begin to fear you because God is with you because God is with you God is with you and the next verse we are going to verse 15 therefore Saul removed him from the prison because this guy I'm afraid of him so don't come to the palace again made him a captain over a thousand and he went out and came in before David and the people rather ended up like look that's the next prayer therefore Saul removed no the next verse verse 14 and David behaved why you see [13:49] God was with him but he also behaved yeah behaved wisely there are some people you can't befriend yeah he behaved himself wisely sometimes you may not be happy about something but behave yourself wisely therefore when Saul saw that he behaved himself wisely so two things that made Saul fear David one he saw God was with him but secondly he saw David's behavior he was afraid of him verse 16 yeah but all Israel and Judah listen who loves him at this the verse 26 26 he wanted to trap him the guy is bad okay no look at verse 22 verse 21 said the guy will be so he'll be a snare to him go back 22 and Saul commanded his servants communicate with David secretly and say look the king has delighted in you and all his servants love you now therefore become the king's son-in-law because he was trying to now use lobby to make [15:03] David accept the offer and he gave the woman to somebody and then the next one he said I'll give you verse 26 I'll give you my daughter and then when he said I'll give you my daughter so when his servants told David was pleased well pleased to become the king's son-in-law now the days had not expired now go to the next verse quickly therefore David arose and went he and his men and killed too now what happened was that Saul said I want to give you my daughter but you don't I know you are from a four family so you don't have to pay anything but only on one condition you go to the Philistines the men go and kill them and bring their foreskin that means that a man's yeah you know when the sacrifice baby they take their foreskin and then the the skin covering a man's manhood say go and bring it to me I need 200 of them can you imagine this man was wicked because he knew that David would never survive that he said go into where there's danger soldiers go and fight them kill them remove their even if you don't kill them just bring me so when [16:20] David was told look at the next verse 26 and when he said it pleased David that he became the king's son-in-law so what he did you look at the next verse therefore David arose and went and he and his men and killed 200 men of the philistines and David brought the four skins and gave them in full count to the king that he might become hey David how can you do this if the hand of God is not on you because it wasn't his desire it was a trap then Saul gave his daughter to David the next verse that Saul saw and knew that kind and the daughter saw knew that God was with David look at the next verse is that the next verse and Saul was still more afraid of David so he became David you are afraid of him and he became his enemy whatever he was doing there was a factor two things that have drawn your attention actually three things number one this big thing [17:27] God was with David so his enemies shame number two David behaved himself wisely number three the people loved David these three things you have to believe God for God this first thing I'm calling be with me but also there's a way you are supposed to behave yourself that will give you an advantage oh yeah that will give you an advantage in life sometimes some people you don't have to be their enemies because it's not worth it it's not worth it we want to pray this last prayer God these three things ask me fast today any request watch this any prayer request you have it can be your health it can be your relationship it can be your finances these three things if it kicks in it will advantage you if God is with you if people love you people love you when is not your time for medical attention they will just go don't worry [18:28] I'll explain it to their boss you can go they'll push you through their system yeah when people like you but when people don't like you even when you are qualified only one thing one thing let's say the ribbon is torn but the bible they say no no we don't like you again one thing when people don't like you so you have to believe God that Lord people who need to like me for my destiny let them start liking me let them start liking me do you think it's a good prayer people who need to like me for my destiny let them start liking me lift up your voice and begin to pray that prayer right now and Lord give me
