Speaker 1 (00:02):
This sermon was downloaded from ww dot. Spirit nerds dot
org will equipt Christians with thousands of strategic spiritual materials daily.
Join millions of Christians around the world who have come
to spirit Nerds to learn about God and his word.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Today, for Jesus' much less name, we have prayed. Ask
him for an encounter by his spirit.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Give me a definite encounter. Go ahead and pray. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The Lord is that spirit, the Bible says. And where
the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Who
shall ascend to the heel of the Lord, and who shall.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Stand in his holy place.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who
has not lived out of his soul onto vanity or
swung this city will, Bible says, shall receive a blessing
from the Lord, righteousness.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
From the God of his salvation. This is the generation
of them that see me, that seek.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Thy faith, Oh Jacob, Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord,
the Bible says, Call on to me, and I will answer.
I will show you, not just tell you. I will
show you great and mighty things which thou knowest not Allelujah.
(01:40):
There is a realm of knowledge that starts by admitting
your limitation.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
When you admit that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You are limited as far as actending, that dimension is concerned.
That awareness sponsors your motivation to call Lord, help me.
I know, but not enough help me. I see, but
not enough. We see in part first Corinthians eight and
US two. And if any man think that he knowed anything,
(02:11):
he knowed nothing yet as he ought to know. There
is a benchmark in the spirit that translates to every
result desired.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There is a light requirement is fixed and non negotiable.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Just because you have light does not mean you have
light enough to be able to translate those spiritual realities.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Into your experience. Someone cry for light tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
My heart is open, my spirit is prepared to access
superior light. That was the true light which lighted every man.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That was the true light. Someone praying.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Alikaparros cartdgeverleat from heaven, light from heaven, coming with glory,
Light from.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Heaven, bringing understanding.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Light from heaven, allowing for abscendence in the spirit.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Lights.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Even among the stars, he said, one deferred from another
in glory, in glory, maybe not in size, but in
glory that among the stars, one deferred from another in.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Glory all Louia praised the name of the Lord. I
(03:56):
just felt starred in my spirit before coming.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
While I was praised preparing for this meeting, I started
sensing a very strong manifestation of the healing anointing. And
I know that the miracle services next week. Yes, but
you see, the thing about the path of the Spirit
is that the Bible says the Holy Spirit has a
(04:19):
unique ability to such the mind of the Father. No
man knows what is in the spirit of man. The
heart of man saved the spirit of that man. The
Holy Spirit.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Has unrestrained access into.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The heart of the Father, and he is able to
draw out that which is consistent with his will.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
The entire economy of.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
The Kingdom revolves around the will of God, so at
every given point, Allelujah, the Kingdom operates with respect to
that which God desires, part time and per season. Any
action that is outside the will of God at any given.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Time, even if it is good, is time rebellion.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Rebellion is not necessarily evil. Rebellion is any activity that
is not sponsored and motivated, whose goal and intent is
not actualizing the will of God.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
A very good.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Project can be rebellion when it is brought within the
lens of the will of God. So it is important
to be organized, but it is also important to be discerning.
It says, I will stand upon my watch, and I
will set myself upon the tower that I will see what.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He will say unto me. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Let me just speak a word over those who are
trusting God for healing. I've explained to you the necessity
of the healing ministry.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
The healing annointing is a.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Unique engraceing of God to the body, because, according to
the dealings of God with Man as revealed inscription, every
man is only even the privilege of one body per lifetime.
Please listen, you are only given the privilege of your
spirit being hosted in one body. And what you call
(06:11):
lifetime is the moment from birth until the day you
are done with your assignment and you transit in glory,
or until the day your body deteriorates to the extent
to which it no longer can host your spirit.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
There is a health requirement for.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Your spirit to remain in your body, and when your
body is deteriorated beyond a certain threshold, it was designed
in the dealings.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Of God that the spirit will have to leave, Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So every time the devil plagues you with sickness, it
is a measure of death attempting.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
To be administered to your body.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The assignment of the healing anointing is to bring your
body back to the will of God and to.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Help sponsor longevity a body. Hast thou prepared for me? Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
When you understand this, your heart to be open to
receive the healing power of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Please lay your hands, whether for you or for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Your loved ones, even if it is for one person
less or not, this instruction, and then will go to
the teaching of tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I believe, I believe Lord, I believe Lord. I believe
such great annointing. I believe. I believe Lord. I believe Lord.
(07:50):
I review that spirit of infamiity right now. I command
every devil that.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Has found is way into the bodies of God's pop
I conditions blood, conditions in the name of Jesus, the
Son of the Living God. I stretched my hands by
faith from nation to nation, region to region, which bring
you life even.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
By the spirit, be healed right now in the name
of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Be healed right now, in the name of Jesus, from
the crown of your head to the souls of your feet.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Can sa be healed? Now? My grains be healed. Now,
I conditions be healed.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Now, blood conditions be healed. Now have tick alsa be healed. Now,
Both conditions be healed. Now turning out diseases of all sorts.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
In the name of Jesus, be healed now.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And we pray for those who are lying down upon
the blood the bed of affliction. Made the same power
that raised Christ from the dead, translated him from Hades,
and brought him back to the earth.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I declare that same power will take.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You from the bed of affliction and keep you standing
on your feet.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Now, in the name of Jesus Christ, and everyone who
came here with any kind of.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Discomfort, by whatever name it is called and identified, in
the name of Jesus, I speak to you the resurrected cheek,
the one who has risen the resurrection and the life.
He ministers. Life to your body. Now weakening to your
body now brand new organs by the spirit, in the
(09:56):
name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Thank you, Father, for in Jesus'.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Mighty and much less name we have prayed. Please be
sited good evening, God bless you. You're welcome to church.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
This is the house of God, and it.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Is always a profound honor to serve God's people.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
With the truth of His word. Because I've always said that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The Church is a very potent force as far as
societal transformation is concerned.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
The Church has a unique convergence of people that represent
all walks of life.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The legal practitioner has no business administering medical solutions to
a sick patient because they are confined. They are limited
to the judiciary. A doctor has no busines business standing
to do a judicial work, for instance. So all other
(11:07):
fields are limited, and they are mandated by the laws
that govern their profession to remain and restrict themselves within
the jurisdiction.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Of their practice.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
But the Church and the ministry of the world as
we know, has a unique ability to serve people from
all walks of life, and this is very important.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It then means.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
That any society at any given time is largely a
product of the orientation that comes, especially from the Church
among many other religious institutions, because many people will make
decisions and those decisions come from the orientation that they
(11:51):
have received in church. It is the reason why the
ministry of the world must be taken with every sense
of seriousness and responsibility, because sometimes destiny defining decisions will
come as a result of the truths or otherwise that
you are serving God's people, And if that which you
(12:12):
call light is not true light, the decisions, hence the
consequences that come from those decisions, will be a reflection
of the limitation of.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The man of God.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So the Bible mandates that we study to show ourselves
approved onto God work men that need not to be
ashamed even as we rightly divide the world. It is
the reason why God has coordinated all grace that is
required for our sufficiency, so that when we stand to
(12:44):
serve God's people, both those who are here online and
the many across the nations of the earth, that even
though we are trapped in human frail vessels, but that
there is the activity of the Holy Spirit that help
us to be to serve the truths of the Kingdom
with accuracy and with confidence.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Alleluyah. This is very important.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I take my job as a man of God very
seriously because I understand not only am I accountable on
to God, but when God gives you the gift of influence. Influence,
I told you, is a very delicate product.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
With it you can destroy, and with it you can build. Alleluyah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yes, So when people become obedient to the faith and
loyal to that which God communicates through you, you must
ensure that you are serving the people truths, indeed, life applicable,
destiny changing truths.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Alleluyah.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And I can assure you by God that there is
no wiki will come here and then leave with your
time I've been wasted.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That every time you come here, you can be sure
that you will be served the truth of God's word
with power, with grace. You will live wiser, you will
live more and graced more. Strategically positioned to number one,
live an effective spiritual life. And then that it translates
to every aspect of your life.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
You believe that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Shout aloud Amen Alleluiah. Tonight I want you to lend
me your attention, lend me your dedicated focus as we teach.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
There are times that Jesus.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Would say, verily, verily, I say unto you. There are
other times he will say, haken unto me. He would
demand their attention because of the preciousness of.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
What he wants to say. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
When it has to do with the ministry of the world,
you can be Mary or you can be Mather. Marther
was worried about so many things, and Mary sat at
the feet of Jesus. I said, Ma, Mater, you are
worried and you are.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Angry about you know. Mary's not standing up to come
and help you.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
He says, but one thing is needful, and that Mary
has chosen to sit at the Master's feet.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You need to learn to sit at his feet and
give your destiny dedicated focus when it has to do
with the ministry of the world. In the name of Jesus,
the Son of the Living God, knowing God accurately, Please
write it down, knowing God accurately. Tonight I want to
(15:41):
show us prophetically the biblical road map to knowing God
and attaining stature and power and grace in the spirit.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
There is a way God designed himself to be known
as far as the world of men is concern, and
it is important for us to know how God prescribed
that He's explored and known, so that we're not in
confusion learning God in very wrong ways. And then arriving
at many erroneous conclusions about God, and that will be
(16:16):
to the detriment of our Christian experience.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Allelujah. Are we together now?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Generally speaking, the Bible lets us know that when it
has to do.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
With reigning in life, reigning upon.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
The earth, the Bible says that the requirement is number one,
that you must become a graceful recipient of the gift
of righteousness, and then number two, abundance of grace. The
Bible says that they who have received the abundance of
grace and the gift of righteousness, he leaves them with
(16:55):
an assurance that they are the kinds of believers who
will reign in life life abundance of grace and then
the gift of righteousness Romans five, p. Seventeen that if
by one month's of friends death reigned by one much
more day which receive the abundance of grace and the
gift of righteousness, the gift of righteousness only comes through
(17:19):
Jesus Christ believing in a substitutionary sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Allelujah. And then the Bible says that when it has.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
To do with dominion upon the earth, you do not
just need grace. You need abundance of grace. It's important
that you have that at the back of your mind.
And then, of course you know that the Bible says
grace and peace. The same grace that the Bible says
we need a lavish proportion of It says grace and
(17:49):
peace is multiplied through knowledge. Allelujah. So there is a
connection between the abundance of grace and the abundance of
knowledge that grace and peace. Second bitter one from verse
two is multiplied through knowledge. Everybody is a knowledge, in
(18:09):
this case the knowledge of God and of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Please take notes the knowledge of God. There
are many things that do not minister grace, even though
they are knowledge. There is an exact body of truth
that translates to grace.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
The Bible says grace and peace. Please keep that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Scripture is not just multiplied through the knowledge of many
good things.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It has to be the knowledge of God and of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So there are many kinds of knowledge that are not necessarily.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
A waste, but when it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Has to do with accessing grace as design in this kingdom,
it is the knowledge of God and of our Lord
Jesus Christ. That means the more you know God and
his son Jesus Christ, the more, indeed and in experience,
you will access grace. Allelujah. This is very important. John
(19:07):
seventeen and verse three. The Bible says, and this is
eternal life. Jesus is praying that they may know thee
the only True God, and Jesus, whom thou hast said.
The experience of eternal life, the activation of the full
potential of that which is captured in the Zoway life,
(19:27):
is dependent on the knowledge of the True God and Jesus,
whom he has said. This is very important in this kingdom.
Knowledge is essential as far as working in dominion and
working in victories concern. No matter how well intention you are,
if and when you decide to dwell in ignorance, there
(19:51):
is no hope for working in the.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Reality of the life of God. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It's important for us and this now Matthew Chapter sixteen,
let's begin with a very interesting discussion between Jesus and
the disciples.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
From verse thirteen.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
It wasn't unusual for Jesus to probe the disciples understanding
by asking them questions, and he would lead them to
just argue among themselves and then eventually he would clarify.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
This was one of such moments.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
When Jesus came to the coast of Caesarea Philippi.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
The Bible says.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He asked the disciples, saying, who do men say that
I the Son of Man Am?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Allelujah? Isn't it interesting?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You would think he already answered his question because he
called himself the son of Man. You would think that
was the answer. Who do men say that I the
son of Man Am? That means he was looking for
something else. There was something he wanted them to understand.
Verse fourteen. The Bible says, they said, some say you
(20:57):
are John the Baptist m some say you are Elias
Elijah now, and others say you are Jeremiah.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
And some are even confused. They don't know. They just
said you are one of the prophets.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So Jesus is asking a question here, who do men say.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That I am?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
In other words, I want to buy from the perspective
of society, what do they think of me when they
see me walk miracles, when they seem multiply bread, when
they see me teach and communicate doctrine with power? What
is their conclusion about my person. And the disciples said,
this is a very good question, because we've also been
asking some say you are John the Baptist, because at
(21:38):
that time John had been beheaded. Are we together now?
So probably they think you are incarnate. Maybe you came again,
you know, and so on and so for others, you know,
because they know again that there is a spiritual protocol.
They have been taught that men can come in the
spirit and power of certain graces and certain mantles, and
they believe that you.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Are one of those. It and others believe you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Are Jeremiah and Jesus now said, okay, you've worked with me,
you have enjoyed the privilege of intimacy.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You are closer to me than those who.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Are Afar, it says, But whom say ye that I
am very important question.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
We're stopping at fifteen. But who say ye? In other words, I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Interested in you show me the advantage that your intimacy
with me has done, as far as redefining.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
My person to you.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now you have an advantage that they do not have.
They are speaking as people who are from Afar, So
we can permit and forgive them because they are speaking
from the lens of your ignorance, alongside the thistalancing relationship.
But now you have had the privilege to be mentored
directly by me. What is your conclusion in light of
(22:51):
the advantage of intimacy. And the disciples were surprised that
even though they enjoyed access and they enjoy intimacy, the
truth is that they did not know him. The same
experience of those from Afar was their experience, even though
they were close, and it was only Peter speaking by
the spirit. He never said we know. He said, I
(23:14):
know whom thou art thou art Christ, the Son of
the Living God.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
He never called him Jesus. You see, so he was speaking.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Not in the flesh, because he was never called Jesus.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Until the world became flesh.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Are we together now, Yes, he never called him Jesus,
thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God. And
he said verse seventeen, he said, blessed at thou Simon,
son of Jonah, for flesh and blood. That means this
revelation does not reside within the realm.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Of flesh and blood, but my father.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And then he continues, now he mentions the word church.
I just wanted you to understand that it is very
important that in the believer's journey to growth, to stature
and living out the fullness of your prophetic destiny, when
it has to do with the subject of knowledge, you
must be guided. No one that Jesus, speaking about the
(24:16):
Holy Spirit said in John sixteen, give us verse eight please,
or verse thirteen.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Let's just go to verse thirteen for sake of time.
How do it?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
In fact, verse twelve says I have many things to
tell you. Jesus is speaking, but ye cannot bear them.
Now do you know what that means? The spiritual equipping that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Will make my word spirit and life to you? You
do not yet have it away together.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yes, I have stretched your ability to receive. Without the
assistance of the Holy Spirit. I cannot go further. If
you must understand anything from this point there is the
activity of regeneration and the infeeling of the spirit.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
That must happen.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
The other things I have taught you is what Paul
brought in the Paulin Epistle. There was no way they
would have understood the dynamics of redemption and how to
live the victorious life in that state. They had to
be translated and God raised Paul to be a continuation
of those things that Jesus told them. You cannot bear
them now, the teachings of Paul. Even for Peter and
(25:19):
the disciples, those mentored by Jesus.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They acknowledge that these sayings were had.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So it would have sounded like nonsense if Jesus tried
to say it.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Are we together now? Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
But knowledge is very important in this kingdom. Now I
have taught you, and I want you to please listen.
I repeat myself many times for the sake of emphasis.
There are six dimensions of knowledge. The believer must pursue
six dimensions of spiritual knowledge if you want to understand
(25:51):
the scope of not just knowing God. There are many
kinds of knowledge that are useful. Some are supportive knowledge.
Please listen before you write.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
There are two levels of knowledge, generally for the believer.
There is what we call.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Foundational knowledge, and there is what we call supportive knowledge.
Supportive knowledge means when the foundation is there, they come
as an added advantage to sponsor your stability.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Are we together?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
If you do not have a foundational knowledge, no matter
what you get as supportive knowledge, your Christian experience will
be lopsided.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Let me give you six of them very quickly. Number one.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
According to scripture, especially the Palling Epistle, we are taught
that these six foundational. I'm not just talking of doctrine
like he will six.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
No, No, I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Not talking of foundational doctrine. I'm talking that in your
pursuit of knowledge. That means if you see a believer
now who is saved and tells you that I want
I want to act to contend for spiritual knowledge. If
you want to guide that person, at first you restrict
that person's pursuing knowledge to.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
These six dimensions. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Number one that you must know God and Jesus his Son. This,
according to the Polling Epistle, is the correct protocol for
approaching spiritual knowledge.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You must know God and then Jesus his Son.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Proverabs Chapter nine and verse ten. Please write it. We're
working this. There's so much to cover. The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge
of the Holy is understanding. That means at the point
where you begin to pursue the knowledge of God, you
are truly having spiritual understanding.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Allelujah. This is very very important.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
In first bitter chapter, in a nearly eleven thirty two
Popular scripture. The bee Pad says, but the people that
do know their God, they shall be strong, and they
shall do exploits. There is an advantage to know God.
I like Ephesians one fifteen to nineteen. This is polygain.
This our polygain mentoring the church in episodes. Wherefore I also,
(28:10):
after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and love on to all saints verse sixteen reading to nineteen,
cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of
you in my prayer seventeen, that the God of our Lord,
Jesus Christ, the.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Father of Glory, may give unto you. Watch this now
the spirit.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of Him, not the knowledge of it, the knowledge of
Him the eyes of your understanding.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Verse eighteen says, being.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Is the riches of the glory.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Of his inheritance and the saints, And what is the exceeding.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Greatness of His power to us.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Word who believe according to the working of His mighty powers.
So six dimensions of knowledge. When you want to pursue
genuine spiritual growth and.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Maturity, you must know God and Jesus Christ is.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
On number two, you must know yourself in light of
who Christ is. You must know yourself in light of
who Christ is. Psalm forty nine and twenty very powerful scripture.
The Bible says, man that is in honor and understand
that not is like a beast that perish it.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Allelujah. Second only to knowing God.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It is important that in pursuing growth and maturity, as
revealed by scripture, you must know yourself in light of
who God is.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
In first few, chapter two and verse nine, very powerful scripture.
It tells us that we are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthoodent holy names, a peculiar people that we should
show forth the praises of Him that has called us
out of darkness and into his marvelous light.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
When you read efficient chapter two, from use one to six,
just rite for sake of.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
For sake of time. Paul took out time there to
begin to give us.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
A very theological background as to the implication I have
taught you here that from a theological standpoint, every time
you discuss man with respect to what Christ has done.
There are only two things that become the basis of
your discussion. Number one is our oneness with Christ, the
implication of our oneness, and number two, our positional advantage.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Are we together now on account of the.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, man has been brought into oneness.
The Bible says he that is joined to Christ is
one spirit. And Paul helped us to understand our positional
advantage that that work together or together with Christ is
a very profound prophetic description of the believer's.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Position now in light of what has happened. So you
need to know who you are in light of who
Christ is.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Number three, you need to know your place in destiny
and in God's prophetic program.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I have taught you this. It's very important. You need
to know your place.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Your relevance is in your ability to keep and maintain
your position. The provisions that are accorded your life are
with respect to knowing your place. It's very important you
must know your place in God's program. You must know
your place in destiny. Look for sixteen and seventeen Jesus
(31:53):
in the temple reading the messianic prophecy that was about
him the Bible, says he found way it was written
concerning him. And then at the end of that rendition
he said, today, is this scripture fulfilled in your ears?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Hebrews ten and seven says low, I come in.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
The volume of the book as it is written of me,
to do thy will, O God, allelujah.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
It's very very important.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Every believer must be trained to know your place in
God's in destiny and in God's prophetic program. Number four
that the second, the fourth dimension of knowledge is that
you must understand the mysteries and the principles of the kingdom.
This is very important. You must understand the mysteries and
(32:46):
the principles of the kingdom. Job thirty eight, thirty three
to thirty five, writing for reference, knowest thou the ordinances
of heaven, and canst thou sets the dominion thereof?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
In the earth it is between God and Joe.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Psalm eighty two, verse five, Popular Scripture. Here they know not,
neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness, and
all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Matthew thirteen eleven.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Jesus is still teaching, for it has been given onto
you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Allelujah. The Kingdom operates using a models operandi.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
There is a pattern, there is a principle, and every
time you want to see the glory of God revealed,
there is a mandage upon you that you must know
the ways of God. Number five, What.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Is the fifth dimension of knowledge?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
If you must press into an excellent spiritual life, you
must understand Man as the highest of God's creation, and
then you must understand the world's system, the cosmos. It
is not enough to understand the Prince of the Kingdom.
You must understand Man as the zenith, the highest of
(34:06):
God's creation, and then you must understand the cosmos. This
is important. When we discuss this, we considered some eight from.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Verse one to six. Remember p. Eight one to six.
Oh Lord God, how excellent is your name?
Speaker 2 (34:19):
He says, all of that, when I consider the works
of your hands, and all of that.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
When we get to verse five, he now says, what
is man? Of verse four? What is man that thou.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Art mindful of him? Not the son of Man that
thou visitest him. I hope we're still together. I'm showing
you that if you want to explore your spiritual growth.
It is important that you follow these sequence of the wise,
something will be lobsided.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
As far as your spiritual.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Understanding is concerned. You must know man, because this is
the world of man. Some one one five, verse sixteen.
The Bible says, the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord,
but the eath has He.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Given to the children of men.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
If you must excel in the cosmos, you need to
understand the world of men.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
In fact, in Matthew ten sixteen, I believe Jesus was
teaching them.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
And you noticed when.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Jesus began to teach if you study the Beatitudes theologically,
Jesus began to teach them, relating the kingdom with and
contrasting it with the cosmos.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
There were times where he would teach them.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Things that were largely eternal and spiritual, but in many
instances he would now del to help them understand the cosmos.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
This was one of such discussions.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst
of wolves, he says, be therefore wise as sapens. All
through scripture, a sapent has always been associated with evil, Satan,
the devil.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Are we together now and here Jesus.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Is saying that you need to borrow the wisdom of
the serpent and the character of.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
The dove if you must excel in the cosmos.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Very strange teaching for the simple information that you are
a ship in the midst of wolves.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
He says, there are two.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Dimensions of wisdom and.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Approach you must have.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
You need to be as wise as a serpent, and
you need to be as harmless as a dove.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
And the only place.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
In scripture where you learn the wisdom of the serpent
is Egypt. You will have to go to Egypt to
learn the wisdom of the serpent. Allelujah.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
And the Bible says, as hamless as a dove.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
So number six, very quickly, what is the final dimension
of knowledge that the believer must have?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You must know your adversary, the devil.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I'm doing a recap for those of us who have
been following the series, but this is important. I need
to say this so you understand what I'm explaining today.
You must know your adversary, the devil. The devil is
not your friend, no, sir. The devil is not a confident.
The Bible calls him the thief. John ten ten the thief,
a description that Jesus himself gave many bad names. Satan
(37:22):
is called, he's called a moderer, he's called an accuser
of the brethren.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
He's called a thief. In this case that he comes.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Accept he does not come except to steal, to kill,
and to destroy. First Peter, Chapter five, Apostle Peter was
teaching us. In verse eight and nine, he says, be sober,
first bitter five.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Eight and nine, Be sober, Be vigilant.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
He says, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion,
walked about seeking whom he may devolve. Verse nine he says,
whom resists steadfast in the faith, whom resist it is
within your power.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Let me tell you this, no matter what you.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Know, as far as spiritual information is concerned, if you
do not understand Satan and the dark world, the demonic kingdom,
you will be incapacitated in.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Ways you cannot imagine. Are we together now? Yes?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
When I was discussing this, I taught you that as
an expert, when they teach you about accidents, the goal
is not for you to go and die in a
car crash. But you can never be called a professional.
There is a whole course on plane crashes. When you
study aviation and you have been trained to become a
professional pilot, they simulate many kinds of plane crashes.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
And they teach you how to circumvence them. It is on.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Account of that you are satisfied as a professional pilot.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Are we together? There are many.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Believers, in an attempt to remain positive, have ignored.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
The reality of the dark.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Well, Jesus himself might revealed many aspects of Satan. It
was Jesus, in fact, our understanding about the operation of
Jesus as far as the gospel. Operation of Satan, as
far as the Gospel is concerned, was revealed.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
By Jesus himself.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
And then Paul came and structured the Satanic kingdom, and
is said, do not be unaware of the wilds or
the devices of the devil. Do not be ignorant, he says.
So you must know God. You must know yourself in
light of who Christ is. You must know your place
(39:39):
in destiny and God's prophetic program. You must understand the
mysteries and the principles of the Kingdom. You must understand
Man and the cosmos. And then you must understand your
adversary the devil. Show me any believer who would have
invested a major portion of his work exploring these dimensions knowledge.
(40:00):
I show you one who it will be impossible to
be a weak believer.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Strength in the Kingdom is a cumulative of your knowledge,
the lights that has come from these various dimensions of knowledge. Allelujah.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
And then I also taught you that there are four.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Channels to knowing God. This is very important. I hope
I'm still with you or we're still together. Four channels
to knowing God. That everybody who now wants to know God,
there are four channels.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Number one is scripture.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
The first recommendation as far as the knowledge.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Of God is concerned, is scripture.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Our first part of call as believers who seek to
know God and to know Jesus is scripture.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Allelujah. The Bible tells us in John chapter one.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
From verse one to three, in the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Verse two says the same was in the beginning with God.
Three says all things were made by Him, and without
him was not anything made that was made. So the
Word is God and scripture is very important. Allelujah. This
(41:21):
is very very important. Scripture reveals the character of God,
and scripture reveals the methodologies of God.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Number two very quickly.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
The second channel for learning and knowing God is a
careful study on his names. Remember that the names of
God capture various dimensions of his power and his might.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
The names of God.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Exodus, chapter three thirteen to fifteen. Exodus three thirteen to fifteen,
Moses said, unto God, behold, when I to the children
of Israel, and shall say unto them, the God of
your fathers have sent me onto you, and they shall say.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Unto me, what is his name? What shall I say
onto them? Fourteen Now?
Speaker 2 (42:11):
And God said onto Moses, I am that I am.
He said, thost shall thou say to the children of Israel,
I Am had sent me to you. Fifteen now he says.
And God said, listen moreover to Moses, thirst shall.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Thou say to the children of Israel, the Lord.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, had.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Sent me to you.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
He says, this is my name forever, and this is
my memorial onto all generations. Now go to chapter six,
same Exodus, chapter six. From verse one, then the Lord
said onto Moses, we're reading to verse three. Don't be
tired of writing scripture. Thou shall, he says, Now, shall
thou see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with
(43:03):
a strong hand shall he let them go? And with
a strong hand shall he.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Drive them out of his land? Verse two. And God
spake onto Moses, saying.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
I am the Lord these three, and I appeared onto Abraham,
onto Isaac, and onto Jacob by the name of God Almighty,
he says, But by my name Jehovah, was I not
known to them?
Speaker 3 (43:35):
So God reveals himself according to his names. In fact,
the various.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Names of God that we know from scripture, as you
have been taught, were trapped.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
There were experiences.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Manifestations of the power, the wisdom, the grace of God.
Every time they saw God move in a dimension that
was foreign to them, they would trap it in a name,
build a memorial around it, so that every time you
wanted to learn that dimension of God, you are referred
to that name. That's how we came about with Jirah
s Kennu. Are we together now? And all of these versions.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Of his name. So four channels to.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Knowing God number one, Scripture number two, the names of
God number three, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
This is powerful.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Jesus Christ himself came as an explanation of God. I
told you that Jesus came. Among the many reasons why
he came up to the earth was as a.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Manuscript and a marching script.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
He came as a correction to our understanding about God.
Are we together that the prior knowledge that the prophets
and the patriots.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Had had about God?
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Because until Jesus came, no one could know God accurately.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Until Jesus came.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
There were gaps in the understanding of God. Why because
they had to depend on the perception of any prophet
who was in charge at that time to.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Reveal God to them.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
The possibility of a personal experience with God, as we
know widespread, was not given to them as a privilege.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
There were few people who.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Either by the election of grace or just by reason
of certain covenants, had the privilege of encountering God. But
as a nation and as a people, even though God's people,
they had to interpret. They had to depend on the
interpretation of God that was given to them by the
prophets and the prophets did their best, but they made
(45:37):
a lot of mistakes. There were many things they credited
to God that God had no hand in away together.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
And I hope you know when.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
You study scripture, you will see that even among the
prophetic in the Old Testament, there was a doubling between
authentic work with God, and there were times they delve
into divination. There were times where so there were many
perspectives that they brought together an a nation tis anything
that was beyond the realm of science, and this three
(46:04):
dimensional realm, they largely credited it to God. So Jesus
came as an explanation. He came as a correction of
our perception about God. That means, using the lens of
the person Jesus, we can judge every other prophet and
every other.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Person who has said anything about God.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Whatever they said about God, we bring it to the
lens of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
As the incarnate.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Now are we together, and then we test what they
said God was as against what Jesus came to manifest.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
And anything that we find in defiance or in contrast
toward Jesus was revealing.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Then we knew that something had to be corrected about
their understanding of God is the reason why they got
angry every time Jesus called himself God or the.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Son of God. They said, you were a young.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Boy who was born in our presence here, How would
you dare say that you are God. They were angry,
especially the scribes and the Pharisees. He said, before your
your father Abraham, I was and they wanted to stone him.
They said, this guy's blasphemy has gotten to more.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Let's just kill.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Him before he teaches this nonsense across the city.
Speaker 3 (47:14):
They were uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
But you see, the truth is that Jesus came as a.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
Revelation of the Father.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
You find all that captured in John's Synoptic Account, Chapter one,
from verse one to six, the Bible says, the word
became flesh, and then it dwelt among us, and we
beheld his glory, even as of the only begotten of.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
The Father, full of grace and truth.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
So he was the word incanate he walked upon the
earth he Brews Chapter one, God who in saundry times
and diverse mannerspect to us in time past through the prophet,
had in these last days Verse two spoken to us
through his son, whom he had appointed heir of all things.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
By who also he had made the world's Verse three.
Now the Bible says, who've been.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
The brightness of his glory and the express image of
his person. So Jesus came as the express.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
Image of the Father. That means if you had.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Never seen the Father, you are never related with the Father.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
If you looked at Jesus, he came.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
As an explanation, an accurate explanation of the Father.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Why do we know.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
That Jesus represented the Father properly because the Father himself
gave a public word of commendation. He said, this is
my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, and
he mandated.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Creation to hear him. Are we together?
Speaker 2 (48:45):
So we learn God as we study Jesus. Finally, the
fourth channel for learning and knowing God is through experience.
There is a place for experience Joe forty two and
verse five.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
It was job who taught us this through his pain.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear,
it says, But now my eyes seeet be you can
know God through experience. First John chapter one, from verse
one we're reading to five, Allelujah, praise the name of
the Lord, I'm giving you a lot of scripture. Write
(49:25):
it in Jesus name and your sound doctrine. In Jesus'
much less name, we have prayed. John one, let's do
one to five. You won't believe that I've not even
started my teaching this night, But this is important.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Write it down.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes. Are we together,
which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled
of the world of life?
Speaker 3 (49:55):
Verse two.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
For the life was manifested, and we have seen it
this way, eyewitnesses, and bear witness, and show onto you
that eternal life which was with the Father and was
manifest onto us. Use three that which we have seen
and heard. Declare we onto you that ye also may
have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with
(50:19):
the Father and with his son Jesus Christ. Two more verses,
and these things right we onto you, that your joy
might be full.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
The last verse. Now, this then is the message he says,
which we.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Have heard of him, And declare unto you that God
is light, and in him there is no darkness. Apostle Johnny, saying, listen,
we were eyewitnesses.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
We worked with Jesus, we sat with him. He taught us.
We were direct products of his mentorship.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
And so when we teach you, you must be able
to believe. Believe that we're not just teaching you cunningly
devised fables. You can know God through experience. Allelujah.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
I will still together. Let's pray the spirit for one minute.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
Jesus Si la ka po sapran da Cappalaco theater.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
Thank you for understanding. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
As chapter seventeen, something happened in Athens. As chapter seventeen,
Let's begin our reading from verse sixteen to seventeen.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Then we jumped to twenty two to twenty four. Now
watch this.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
The Bible says, while Paul waited for them at Athens,
his spirit was tard in him when he saw the
city wholly given to idolatry.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
This was Paul Apostle.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
He entered into Athens, and he saw that the people
were given to idolatry verse seventeen. There for disputedly in
the synagogue with the Jews and with the devout persons,
and in the market daily with them.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
That met him.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
He kept at you, and I said, listen, something is
wrong you people are zealous people, but this is idolatry.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
Jump to verse twenty two.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
The Bible says, then Paul stood in the midst of
the mass heel and said, ye, men of Athens, I
perceived that in all things ye are too superstitious Verse
three twenty three. Now, for as I passed by, he says,
and beheld your devotions.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
So these were people who were zealous and committed.
Speaker 4 (52:44):
I found an altar with this inscription to the unknown God,
whom ye therefore ignorantly worship.
Speaker 2 (52:56):
This ignorance your devotion shipping an unknown god, he says,
I have come to give you clarity about that God,
because when I came into Athens, I saw.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
A lot of religiousity. He said, you were even too superstitious.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Use the mind of your imagination to imagine a city.
Everywhere you went there were monuments, there were traditional practices.
Everybody was suggesting anything, and they had to build an altar.
They said, we know this much, whoever this god is,
and they put in an inscription there we don't know you,
but will keep worshiping you. What a tragedy.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
To the unknown God.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
How do you become so devoted to an unknown god?
Worshiping an unknown God. How do you know he has
answered you? How do you know you are not in error?
Who corrects who?
Speaker 3 (53:49):
And by what standard? Keep that scripture there, please, I
want you to look at that scripture very carefully as
I passed by. You know what that meant? Paul? I
like Paul. Paul just kept going around.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
Athens, from one region to the other, and he said
everybody was bowing down, worshiping others, had a set of knowledge,
there were.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Ideas, people were mentoring.
Speaker 2 (54:15):
Others, and yet there was widespread ignorance in Athens. And
Paul said, you even did an altar and you openly
wrote an inscription on it to the unknown God.
Speaker 3 (54:27):
In other words, we are so devoted. We love this
God and we wish we could know him.
Speaker 2 (54:33):
But since he has chosen not to review himself to us,
our devotion continues even in ignorance. Does that sound like
a generation? Does that sound like an individual? If a
whole territory can worship an unknown God, there are many
people today who have died to a unknown God. There
are many people today who have argued about an unknown God.
(54:56):
There are many people today, respectfully speaking, preaching about and
unknown God, advocating doing and even doing evangelous into an
unknown God, bringing seeds, tiding, giving to an unknown God.
And Paul said, I have come to declare him to you.
Let's look at verse twenty four. It says God that
(55:19):
made the world and all things therein, seeing that he
is Lord of heaven and earth, dwell let not in
temples made with hands. And when you begin to read,
he started explaining to them. Now he was bringing perspective
to this unknown God.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
Please look up.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
Do you know, ladies and gentlemen, that what happened in
Athens is still true in many, many lives today. There
are many people who have written songs to an unknown God,
received all kinds of pain to an unknown God, serving
(55:57):
in a church that they believe his own by an
unknown God, writing books that they kept to an unknown God.
This is from a standpoint of love. I hope you
understand me. The goal is to give us perspective. It's
not amazing the zeal of the average Christian in Africa.
Africa is about one of the most religious continents, passionate people.
(56:21):
I mean you, is this spiritual exercises of widespread fasting?
Is this spiritual exercise of or not to spiritual authorities.
I mean, you find the Church of the Lord Jesus
Christ in many regards. In Africa, you find it down
middle is there is devotion in a way if you've
had the privilege of traveling across the globe, even whether
(56:44):
it is in your mind or physically, it will still
achieve the same results away together. And you see the
kind of devotion there are priests across the globe, in
the christiandom, in every other religious expression, you will see
the sacrifices, consecrations, first things, abstinence devotion. And you are
(57:06):
wondering this widespread devotion. There are parents who have quarreled
their children. Bear well, God is not happy with you.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
The question is which God?
Speaker 2 (57:20):
How about we servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. We
have taught serious and serious about God. We have spoken
about Heaven. We have cried on crusade grounds backconing on thousands,
praying for millions to come to this God, and they
respond faithfully. Then they walk up to us, and then
(57:41):
we lead them with they say of turning God or
their Lord Jesus. And at the end of it, respectfully speaking,
largely both the preacher and the new converts are.
Speaker 5 (57:52):
Not even aware of who they are talking to. Allelujah,
no wonder.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
There is usually a problem of conviction in light of situations,
in light of you know, negative situations, especially so you
find out that there is a vacillation of convictions.
Speaker 3 (58:20):
Today we stand strong, I know God will heal me.
I know it shall end up in praise.
Speaker 2 (58:26):
And then eventually our convictions begin to dwindle because in
truth we are not sure. We made both full statements,
but now we're not sure again. You see, it's already
happening to so many people. On one hand, we say, no,
this God, if it is my God, I know him,
I know he will come true for this family.
Speaker 3 (58:46):
I know he can't leave me down. And then eventually
we begin to negotiate so.
Speaker 2 (58:51):
Many things and say I don't even know again, God.
Speaker 3 (58:54):
Is it your will? There are many people angry with
God today because they were taught to live in.
Speaker 2 (59:00):
An unknown God, and they believed in that unknown God,
and many things that they believed he would do were
not done, and in anger. Now there are many many
people who do.
Speaker 3 (59:12):
Not even want the mention of church, do not want
the mention of anything.
Speaker 2 (59:16):
They say God has failed me. I have a pleasfora
of failure. There's too much failure in my life.
Speaker 3 (59:21):
What kind of a God is this? I read in
the Bible that he is almighty. I read in the
Bible that he is all powerful. I read in the
Bible that the cattle on a thousand he will belongs
to him.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
And here am I serving God, loving him in church.
And then it looks like he does not want to
attend to me, do you know? Respectfully speaking? Sometimes people
send me text messages and I know their dorenis incerely
They say apposal, since God has not had me, this
is my prayer. Request at me and tell him that
we need Yes, sir, and now you don't laugh at them.
(59:56):
At least I admit my ignorance that I don't know him.
You who claims to know him, please help me. The
most important thing is this, yest, not who is talking.
Letting just be aware that there are needs in my.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Life like this.
Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
As simple as this message is, ladies and gentlemen, what
I'm about to share with you will bring you liberation.
Speaker 3 (01:00:14):
There is some
This sermon was downloaded from ww dot. Spirit nerds dot
org will equipt Christians with thousands of strategic spiritual materials daily.
Join millions of Christians around the world who have come
to spirit Nerds to learn about God and his word.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Today, for Jesus' much less name, we have prayed. Ask
him for an encounter by his spirit.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Give me a definite encounter. Go ahead and pray. Now.
Speaker 2 (00:35):
The Lord is that spirit, the Bible says. And where
the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. Who
shall ascend to the heel of the Lord, and who shall.
Speaker 3 (00:48):
Stand in his holy place.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
He that has clean hands and a pure heart, who
has not lived out of his soul onto vanity or
swung this city will, Bible says, shall receive a blessing
from the Lord, righteousness.
Speaker 3 (01:05):
From the God of his salvation. This is the generation
of them that see me, that seek.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Thy faith, Oh Jacob, Allelujah, Praise the name of the Lord,
the Bible says, Call on to me, and I will answer.
I will show you, not just tell you. I will
show you great and mighty things which thou knowest not Allelujah.
(01:40):
There is a realm of knowledge that starts by admitting
your limitation.
Speaker 3 (01:45):
When you admit that.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
You are limited as far as actending, that dimension is concerned.
That awareness sponsors your motivation to call Lord, help me.
I know, but not enough help me. I see, but
not enough. We see in part first Corinthians eight and
US two. And if any man think that he knowed anything,
(02:11):
he knowed nothing yet as he ought to know. There
is a benchmark in the spirit that translates to every
result desired.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
There is a light requirement is fixed and non negotiable.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Just because you have light does not mean you have
light enough to be able to translate those spiritual realities.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Into your experience. Someone cry for light tonight.
Speaker 2 (02:38):
My heart is open, my spirit is prepared to access
superior light. That was the true light which lighted every man.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
That was the true light. Someone praying.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Alikaparros cartdgeverleat from heaven, light from heaven, coming with glory,
Light from.
Speaker 3 (03:06):
Heaven, bringing understanding.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
Light from heaven, allowing for abscendence in the spirit.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
Lights.
Speaker 2 (03:17):
Even among the stars, he said, one deferred from another
in glory, in glory, maybe not in size, but in
glory that among the stars, one deferred from another in.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Glory all Louia praised the name of the Lord. I
(03:56):
just felt starred in my spirit before coming.
Speaker 2 (03:59):
While I was praised preparing for this meeting, I started
sensing a very strong manifestation of the healing anointing. And
I know that the miracle services next week. Yes, but
you see, the thing about the path of the Spirit
is that the Bible says the Holy Spirit has a
(04:19):
unique ability to such the mind of the Father. No
man knows what is in the spirit of man. The
heart of man saved the spirit of that man. The
Holy Spirit.
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Has unrestrained access into.
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The heart of the Father, and he is able to
draw out that which is consistent with his will.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
The entire economy of.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
The Kingdom revolves around the will of God, so at
every given point, Allelujah, the Kingdom operates with respect to
that which God desires, part time and per season. Any
action that is outside the will of God at any given.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Time, even if it is good, is time rebellion.
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Rebellion is not necessarily evil. Rebellion is any activity that
is not sponsored and motivated, whose goal and intent is
not actualizing the will of God.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
A very good.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Project can be rebellion when it is brought within the
lens of the will of God. So it is important
to be organized, but it is also important to be discerning.
It says, I will stand upon my watch, and I
will set myself upon the tower that I will see what.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
He will say unto me. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Let me just speak a word over those who are
trusting God for healing. I've explained to you the necessity
of the healing ministry.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
The healing annointing is a.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Unique engraceing of God to the body, because, according to
the dealings of God with Man as revealed inscription, every
man is only even the privilege of one body per lifetime.
Please listen, you are only given the privilege of your
spirit being hosted in one body. And what you call
(06:11):
lifetime is the moment from birth until the day you
are done with your assignment and you transit in glory,
or until the day your body deteriorates to the extent
to which it no longer can host your spirit.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
There is a health requirement for.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
Your spirit to remain in your body, and when your
body is deteriorated beyond a certain threshold, it was designed
in the dealings.
Speaker 3 (06:39):
Of God that the spirit will have to leave, Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (06:43):
So every time the devil plagues you with sickness, it
is a measure of death attempting.
Speaker 3 (06:48):
To be administered to your body.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
The assignment of the healing anointing is to bring your
body back to the will of God and to.
Speaker 3 (06:57):
Help sponsor longevity a body. Hast thou prepared for me? Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
When you understand this, your heart to be open to
receive the healing power of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
Please lay your hands, whether for you or for.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
Your loved ones, even if it is for one person
less or not, this instruction, and then will go to
the teaching of tonight.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
I believe, I believe Lord, I believe Lord. I believe
such great annointing. I believe. I believe Lord. I believe Lord.
(07:50):
I review that spirit of infamiity right now. I command
every devil that.
Speaker 2 (07:56):
Has found is way into the bodies of God's pop
I conditions blood, conditions in the name of Jesus, the
Son of the Living God. I stretched my hands by
faith from nation to nation, region to region, which bring
you life even.
Speaker 3 (08:17):
By the spirit, be healed right now in the name
of Jesus.
Speaker 2 (08:22):
Be healed right now, in the name of Jesus, from
the crown of your head to the souls of your feet.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
Can sa be healed? Now? My grains be healed. Now,
I conditions be healed.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
Now, blood conditions be healed. Now have tick alsa be healed. Now,
Both conditions be healed. Now turning out diseases of all sorts.
Speaker 3 (08:58):
In the name of Jesus, be healed now.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
And we pray for those who are lying down upon
the blood the bed of affliction. Made the same power
that raised Christ from the dead, translated him from Hades,
and brought him back to the earth.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I declare that same power will take.
Speaker 2 (09:17):
You from the bed of affliction and keep you standing
on your feet.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Now, in the name of Jesus Christ, and everyone who
came here with any kind of.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Discomfort, by whatever name it is called and identified, in
the name of Jesus, I speak to you the resurrected cheek,
the one who has risen the resurrection and the life.
He ministers. Life to your body. Now weakening to your
body now brand new organs by the spirit, in the
(09:56):
name of Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
Thank you, Father, for in Jesus'.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
Mighty and much less name we have prayed. Please be
sited good evening, God bless you. You're welcome to church.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
This is the house of God, and it.
Speaker 2 (10:17):
Is always a profound honor to serve God's people.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
With the truth of His word. Because I've always said that.
Speaker 2 (10:28):
The Church is a very potent force as far as
societal transformation is concerned.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
The Church has a unique convergence of people that represent
all walks of life.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (10:46):
The legal practitioner has no business administering medical solutions to
a sick patient because they are confined. They are limited
to the judiciary. A doctor has no busines business standing
to do a judicial work, for instance. So all other
(11:07):
fields are limited, and they are mandated by the laws
that govern their profession to remain and restrict themselves within
the jurisdiction.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Of their practice.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
But the Church and the ministry of the world as
we know, has a unique ability to serve people from
all walks of life, and this is very important.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
It then means.
Speaker 2 (11:30):
That any society at any given time is largely a
product of the orientation that comes, especially from the Church
among many other religious institutions, because many people will make
decisions and those decisions come from the orientation that they
(11:51):
have received in church. It is the reason why the
ministry of the world must be taken with every sense
of seriousness and responsibility, because sometimes destiny defining decisions will
come as a result of the truths or otherwise that
you are serving God's people, And if that which you
(12:12):
call light is not true light, the decisions, hence the
consequences that come from those decisions, will be a reflection
of the limitation of.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
The man of God.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
So the Bible mandates that we study to show ourselves
approved onto God work men that need not to be
ashamed even as we rightly divide the world. It is
the reason why God has coordinated all grace that is
required for our sufficiency, so that when we stand to
(12:44):
serve God's people, both those who are here online and
the many across the nations of the earth, that even
though we are trapped in human frail vessels, but that
there is the activity of the Holy Spirit that help
us to be to serve the truths of the Kingdom
with accuracy and with confidence.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
Alleluyah. This is very important.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
I take my job as a man of God very
seriously because I understand not only am I accountable on
to God, but when God gives you the gift of influence. Influence,
I told you, is a very delicate product.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
With it you can destroy, and with it you can build. Alleluyah.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
Yes, So when people become obedient to the faith and
loyal to that which God communicates through you, you must
ensure that you are serving the people truths, indeed, life applicable,
destiny changing truths.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Alleluyah.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And I can assure you by God that there is
no wiki will come here and then leave with your
time I've been wasted.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
That every time you come here, you can be sure
that you will be served the truth of God's word
with power, with grace. You will live wiser, you will
live more and graced more. Strategically positioned to number one,
live an effective spiritual life. And then that it translates
to every aspect of your life.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
You believe that.
Speaker 2 (14:24):
Shout aloud Amen Alleluiah. Tonight I want you to lend
me your attention, lend me your dedicated focus as we teach.
Speaker 3 (14:34):
There are times that Jesus.
Speaker 2 (14:36):
Would say, verily, verily, I say unto you. There are
other times he will say, haken unto me. He would
demand their attention because of the preciousness of.
Speaker 3 (14:46):
What he wants to say. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (14:49):
When it has to do with the ministry of the world,
you can be Mary or you can be Mather. Marther
was worried about so many things, and Mary sat at
the feet of Jesus. I said, Ma, Mater, you are
worried and you are.
Speaker 3 (15:05):
Angry about you know. Mary's not standing up to come
and help you.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
He says, but one thing is needful, and that Mary
has chosen to sit at the Master's feet.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (15:18):
You need to learn to sit at his feet and
give your destiny dedicated focus when it has to do
with the ministry of the world. In the name of Jesus,
the Son of the Living God, knowing God accurately, Please
write it down, knowing God accurately. Tonight I want to
(15:41):
show us prophetically the biblical road map to knowing God
and attaining stature and power and grace in the spirit.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (15:54):
There is a way God designed himself to be known
as far as the world of men is concern, and
it is important for us to know how God prescribed
that He's explored and known, so that we're not in
confusion learning God in very wrong ways. And then arriving
at many erroneous conclusions about God, and that will be
(16:16):
to the detriment of our Christian experience.
Speaker 3 (16:19):
Allelujah. Are we together now?
Speaker 2 (16:25):
Generally speaking, the Bible lets us know that when it
has to do.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
With reigning in life, reigning upon.
Speaker 2 (16:32):
The earth, the Bible says that the requirement is number one,
that you must become a graceful recipient of the gift
of righteousness, and then number two, abundance of grace. The
Bible says that they who have received the abundance of
grace and the gift of righteousness, he leaves them with
(16:55):
an assurance that they are the kinds of believers who
will reign in life life abundance of grace and then
the gift of righteousness Romans five, p. Seventeen that if
by one month's of friends death reigned by one much
more day which receive the abundance of grace and the
gift of righteousness, the gift of righteousness only comes through
(17:19):
Jesus Christ believing in a substitutionary sacrifice.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
Allelujah. And then the Bible says that when it has.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
To do with dominion upon the earth, you do not
just need grace. You need abundance of grace. It's important
that you have that at the back of your mind.
And then, of course you know that the Bible says
grace and peace. The same grace that the Bible says
we need a lavish proportion of It says grace and
(17:49):
peace is multiplied through knowledge. Allelujah. So there is a
connection between the abundance of grace and the abundance of
knowledge that grace and peace. Second bitter one from verse
two is multiplied through knowledge. Everybody is a knowledge, in
(18:09):
this case the knowledge of God and of our Lord
Jesus Christ. Please take notes the knowledge of God. There
are many things that do not minister grace, even though
they are knowledge. There is an exact body of truth
that translates to grace.
Speaker 3 (18:26):
The Bible says grace and peace. Please keep that.
Speaker 2 (18:29):
Scripture is not just multiplied through the knowledge of many
good things.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
It has to be the knowledge of God and of
our Lord Jesus Christ. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
So there are many kinds of knowledge that are not necessarily.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
A waste, but when it.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
Has to do with accessing grace as design in this kingdom,
it is the knowledge of God and of our Lord
Jesus Christ. That means the more you know God and
his son Jesus Christ, the more, indeed and in experience,
you will access grace. Allelujah. This is very important. John
(19:07):
seventeen and verse three. The Bible says, and this is
eternal life. Jesus is praying that they may know thee
the only True God, and Jesus, whom thou hast said.
The experience of eternal life, the activation of the full
potential of that which is captured in the Zoway life,
(19:27):
is dependent on the knowledge of the True God and Jesus,
whom he has said. This is very important in this kingdom.
Knowledge is essential as far as working in dominion and
working in victories concern. No matter how well intention you are,
if and when you decide to dwell in ignorance, there
(19:51):
is no hope for working in the.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Reality of the life of God. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (19:58):
It's important for us and this now Matthew Chapter sixteen,
let's begin with a very interesting discussion between Jesus and
the disciples.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
From verse thirteen.
Speaker 2 (20:11):
It wasn't unusual for Jesus to probe the disciples understanding
by asking them questions, and he would lead them to
just argue among themselves and then eventually he would clarify.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
This was one of such moments.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
When Jesus came to the coast of Caesarea Philippi.
Speaker 3 (20:26):
The Bible says.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
He asked the disciples, saying, who do men say that
I the Son of Man Am?
Speaker 3 (20:35):
Allelujah? Isn't it interesting?
Speaker 2 (20:37):
You would think he already answered his question because he
called himself the son of Man. You would think that
was the answer. Who do men say that I the
son of Man Am? That means he was looking for
something else. There was something he wanted them to understand.
Verse fourteen. The Bible says, they said, some say you
(20:57):
are John the Baptist m some say you are Elias
Elijah now, and others say you are Jeremiah.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
And some are even confused. They don't know. They just
said you are one of the prophets.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
So Jesus is asking a question here, who do men say.
Speaker 3 (21:16):
That I am?
Speaker 2 (21:16):
In other words, I want to buy from the perspective
of society, what do they think of me when they
see me walk miracles, when they seem multiply bread, when
they see me teach and communicate doctrine with power? What
is their conclusion about my person. And the disciples said,
this is a very good question, because we've also been
asking some say you are John the Baptist, because at
(21:38):
that time John had been beheaded. Are we together now?
So probably they think you are incarnate. Maybe you came again,
you know, and so on and so for others, you know,
because they know again that there is a spiritual protocol.
They have been taught that men can come in the
spirit and power of certain graces and certain mantles, and
they believe that you.
Speaker 3 (21:59):
Are one of those. It and others believe you.
Speaker 2 (22:02):
Are Jeremiah and Jesus now said, okay, you've worked with me,
you have enjoyed the privilege of intimacy.
Speaker 3 (22:09):
You are closer to me than those who.
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Are Afar, it says, But whom say ye that I
am very important question.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
We're stopping at fifteen. But who say ye? In other words, I'm.
Speaker 2 (22:22):
Interested in you show me the advantage that your intimacy
with me has done, as far as redefining.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
My person to you.
Speaker 2 (22:30):
Now you have an advantage that they do not have.
They are speaking as people who are from Afar, So
we can permit and forgive them because they are speaking
from the lens of your ignorance, alongside the thistalancing relationship.
But now you have had the privilege to be mentored
directly by me. What is your conclusion in light of
(22:51):
the advantage of intimacy. And the disciples were surprised that
even though they enjoyed access and they enjoy intimacy, the
truth is that they did not know him. The same
experience of those from Afar was their experience, even though
they were close, and it was only Peter speaking by
the spirit. He never said we know. He said, I
(23:14):
know whom thou art thou art Christ, the Son of
the Living God.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
He never called him Jesus. You see, so he was speaking.
Speaker 2 (23:25):
Not in the flesh, because he was never called Jesus.
Speaker 3 (23:29):
Until the world became flesh.
Speaker 2 (23:31):
Are we together now, Yes, he never called him Jesus,
thou art Christ, the Son of the Living God. And
he said verse seventeen, he said, blessed at thou Simon,
son of Jonah, for flesh and blood. That means this
revelation does not reside within the realm.
Speaker 3 (23:51):
Of flesh and blood, but my father.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
And then he continues, now he mentions the word church.
I just wanted you to understand that it is very
important that in the believer's journey to growth, to stature
and living out the fullness of your prophetic destiny, when
it has to do with the subject of knowledge, you
must be guided. No one that Jesus, speaking about the
(24:16):
Holy Spirit said in John sixteen, give us verse eight please,
or verse thirteen.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Let's just go to verse thirteen for sake of time.
How do it?
Speaker 2 (24:27):
In fact, verse twelve says I have many things to
tell you. Jesus is speaking, but ye cannot bear them.
Now do you know what that means? The spiritual equipping that.
Speaker 3 (24:36):
Will make my word spirit and life to you? You
do not yet have it away together.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
Yes, I have stretched your ability to receive. Without the
assistance of the Holy Spirit. I cannot go further. If
you must understand anything from this point there is the
activity of regeneration and the infeeling of the spirit.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
That must happen.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
The other things I have taught you is what Paul
brought in the Paulin Epistle. There was no way they
would have understood the dynamics of redemption and how to
live the victorious life in that state. They had to
be translated and God raised Paul to be a continuation
of those things that Jesus told them. You cannot bear
them now, the teachings of Paul. Even for Peter and
(25:19):
the disciples, those mentored by Jesus.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
They acknowledge that these sayings were had.
Speaker 2 (25:24):
So it would have sounded like nonsense if Jesus tried
to say it.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Are we together now? Yes?
Speaker 2 (25:31):
But knowledge is very important in this kingdom. Now I
have taught you, and I want you to please listen.
I repeat myself many times for the sake of emphasis.
There are six dimensions of knowledge. The believer must pursue
six dimensions of spiritual knowledge if you want to understand
(25:51):
the scope of not just knowing God. There are many
kinds of knowledge that are useful. Some are supportive knowledge.
Please listen before you write.
Speaker 3 (26:01):
There are two levels of knowledge, generally for the believer.
There is what we call.
Speaker 2 (26:06):
Foundational knowledge, and there is what we call supportive knowledge.
Supportive knowledge means when the foundation is there, they come
as an added advantage to sponsor your stability.
Speaker 3 (26:17):
Are we together?
Speaker 2 (26:18):
If you do not have a foundational knowledge, no matter
what you get as supportive knowledge, your Christian experience will
be lopsided.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
Let me give you six of them very quickly. Number one.
Speaker 2 (26:31):
According to scripture, especially the Palling Epistle, we are taught
that these six foundational. I'm not just talking of doctrine
like he will six.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
No, No, I'm.
Speaker 2 (26:42):
Not talking of foundational doctrine. I'm talking that in your
pursuit of knowledge. That means if you see a believer
now who is saved and tells you that I want
I want to act to contend for spiritual knowledge. If
you want to guide that person, at first you restrict
that person's pursuing knowledge to.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
These six dimensions. Are you ready?
Speaker 2 (27:03):
Number one that you must know God and Jesus his Son. This,
according to the Polling Epistle, is the correct protocol for
approaching spiritual knowledge.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
You must know God and then Jesus his Son.
Speaker 2 (27:20):
Proverabs Chapter nine and verse ten. Please write it. We're
working this. There's so much to cover. The fear of
the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge
of the Holy is understanding. That means at the point
where you begin to pursue the knowledge of God, you
are truly having spiritual understanding.
Speaker 3 (27:41):
Allelujah. This is very very important.
Speaker 2 (27:45):
In first bitter chapter, in a nearly eleven thirty two
Popular scripture. The bee Pad says, but the people that
do know their God, they shall be strong, and they
shall do exploits. There is an advantage to know God.
I like Ephesians one fifteen to nineteen. This is polygain.
This our polygain mentoring the church in episodes. Wherefore I also,
(28:10):
after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ,
and love on to all saints verse sixteen reading to nineteen,
cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of
you in my prayer seventeen, that the God of our Lord,
Jesus Christ, the.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Father of Glory, may give unto you. Watch this now
the spirit.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
Of the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge
of Him, not the knowledge of it, the knowledge of
Him the eyes of your understanding.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
Verse eighteen says, being.
Speaker 2 (28:42):
Enlightened, that you may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what.
Speaker 3 (28:47):
Is the riches of the glory.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Of his inheritance and the saints, And what is the exceeding.
Speaker 3 (28:52):
Greatness of His power to us.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
Word who believe according to the working of His mighty powers.
So six dimensions of knowledge. When you want to pursue
genuine spiritual growth and.
Speaker 3 (29:06):
Maturity, you must know God and Jesus Christ is.
Speaker 2 (29:10):
On number two, you must know yourself in light of
who Christ is. You must know yourself in light of
who Christ is. Psalm forty nine and twenty very powerful scripture.
The Bible says, man that is in honor and understand
that not is like a beast that perish it.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Allelujah. Second only to knowing God.
Speaker 2 (29:38):
It is important that in pursuing growth and maturity, as
revealed by scripture, you must know yourself in light of
who God is.
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
In first few, chapter two and verse nine, very powerful scripture.
It tells us that we are a chosen generation, a
royal priesthoodent holy names, a peculiar people that we should
show forth the praises of Him that has called us
out of darkness and into his marvelous light.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (30:12):
When you read efficient chapter two, from use one to six,
just rite for sake of.
Speaker 3 (30:18):
For sake of time. Paul took out time there to
begin to give us.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
A very theological background as to the implication I have
taught you here that from a theological standpoint, every time
you discuss man with respect to what Christ has done.
There are only two things that become the basis of
your discussion. Number one is our oneness with Christ, the
implication of our oneness, and number two, our positional advantage.
Speaker 3 (30:47):
Are we together now on account of the.
Speaker 2 (30:49):
Substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus Christ, man has been brought into oneness.
The Bible says he that is joined to Christ is
one spirit. And Paul helped us to understand our positional
advantage that that work together or together with Christ is
a very profound prophetic description of the believer's.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Position now in light of what has happened. So you
need to know who you are in light of who
Christ is.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
Number three, you need to know your place in destiny
and in God's prophetic program.
Speaker 3 (31:27):
I have taught you this. It's very important. You need
to know your place.
Speaker 2 (31:33):
Your relevance is in your ability to keep and maintain
your position. The provisions that are accorded your life are
with respect to knowing your place. It's very important you
must know your place in God's program. You must know
your place in destiny. Look for sixteen and seventeen Jesus
(31:53):
in the temple reading the messianic prophecy that was about
him the Bible, says he found way it was written
concerning him. And then at the end of that rendition
he said, today, is this scripture fulfilled in your ears?
Speaker 3 (32:10):
Hebrews ten and seven says low, I come in.
Speaker 2 (32:14):
The volume of the book as it is written of me,
to do thy will, O God, allelujah.
Speaker 3 (32:22):
It's very very important.
Speaker 2 (32:24):
Every believer must be trained to know your place in
God's in destiny and in God's prophetic program. Number four
that the second, the fourth dimension of knowledge is that
you must understand the mysteries and the principles of the kingdom.
This is very important. You must understand the mysteries and
(32:46):
the principles of the kingdom. Job thirty eight, thirty three
to thirty five, writing for reference, knowest thou the ordinances
of heaven, and canst thou sets the dominion thereof?
Speaker 3 (32:58):
In the earth it is between God and Joe.
Speaker 2 (33:02):
Psalm eighty two, verse five, Popular Scripture. Here they know not,
neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness, and
all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
Matthew thirteen eleven.
Speaker 2 (33:15):
Jesus is still teaching, for it has been given onto
you to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Speaker 3 (33:23):
Allelujah. The Kingdom operates using a models operandi.
Speaker 2 (33:27):
There is a pattern, there is a principle, and every
time you want to see the glory of God revealed,
there is a mandage upon you that you must know
the ways of God. Number five, What.
Speaker 3 (33:42):
Is the fifth dimension of knowledge?
Speaker 2 (33:44):
If you must press into an excellent spiritual life, you
must understand Man as the highest of God's creation, and
then you must understand the world's system, the cosmos. It
is not enough to understand the Prince of the Kingdom.
You must understand Man as the zenith, the highest of
(34:06):
God's creation, and then you must understand the cosmos. This
is important. When we discuss this, we considered some eight from.
Speaker 3 (34:13):
Verse one to six. Remember p. Eight one to six.
Oh Lord God, how excellent is your name?
Speaker 2 (34:19):
He says, all of that, when I consider the works
of your hands, and all of that.
Speaker 3 (34:23):
When we get to verse five, he now says, what
is man? Of verse four? What is man that thou.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Art mindful of him? Not the son of Man that
thou visitest him. I hope we're still together. I'm showing
you that if you want to explore your spiritual growth.
It is important that you follow these sequence of the wise,
something will be lobsided.
Speaker 3 (34:46):
As far as your spiritual.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
Understanding is concerned. You must know man, because this is
the world of man. Some one one five, verse sixteen.
The Bible says, the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord,
but the eath has He.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
Given to the children of men.
Speaker 2 (35:03):
If you must excel in the cosmos, you need to
understand the world of men.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (35:12):
In fact, in Matthew ten sixteen, I believe Jesus was
teaching them.
Speaker 3 (35:16):
And you noticed when.
Speaker 2 (35:17):
Jesus began to teach if you study the Beatitudes theologically,
Jesus began to teach them, relating the kingdom with and
contrasting it with the cosmos.
Speaker 3 (35:29):
There were times where he would teach them.
Speaker 2 (35:31):
Things that were largely eternal and spiritual, but in many
instances he would now del to help them understand the cosmos.
Speaker 3 (35:40):
This was one of such discussions.
Speaker 2 (35:41):
Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst
of wolves, he says, be therefore wise as sapens. All
through scripture, a sapent has always been associated with evil, Satan,
the devil.
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Are we together now and here Jesus.
Speaker 2 (36:00):
Is saying that you need to borrow the wisdom of
the serpent and the character of.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
The dove if you must excel in the cosmos.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Very strange teaching for the simple information that you are
a ship in the midst of wolves.
Speaker 3 (36:17):
He says, there are two.
Speaker 2 (36:19):
Dimensions of wisdom and.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Approach you must have.
Speaker 2 (36:23):
You need to be as wise as a serpent, and
you need to be as harmless as a dove.
Speaker 3 (36:29):
And the only place.
Speaker 2 (36:31):
In scripture where you learn the wisdom of the serpent
is Egypt. You will have to go to Egypt to
learn the wisdom of the serpent. Allelujah.
Speaker 3 (36:44):
And the Bible says, as hamless as a dove.
Speaker 2 (36:48):
So number six, very quickly, what is the final dimension
of knowledge that the believer must have?
Speaker 3 (36:55):
You must know your adversary, the devil.
Speaker 2 (36:58):
I'm doing a recap for those of us who have
been following the series, but this is important. I need
to say this so you understand what I'm explaining today.
You must know your adversary, the devil. The devil is
not your friend, no, sir. The devil is not a confident.
The Bible calls him the thief. John ten ten the thief,
a description that Jesus himself gave many bad names. Satan
(37:22):
is called, he's called a moderer, he's called an accuser
of the brethren.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
He's called a thief. In this case that he comes.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Accept he does not come except to steal, to kill,
and to destroy. First Peter, Chapter five, Apostle Peter was
teaching us. In verse eight and nine, he says, be sober,
first bitter five.
Speaker 3 (37:42):
Eight and nine, Be sober, Be vigilant.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
He says, because your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion,
walked about seeking whom he may devolve. Verse nine he says,
whom resists steadfast in the faith, whom resist it is
within your power.
Speaker 3 (38:04):
Let me tell you this, no matter what you.
Speaker 2 (38:06):
Know, as far as spiritual information is concerned, if you
do not understand Satan and the dark world, the demonic kingdom,
you will be incapacitated in.
Speaker 3 (38:19):
Ways you cannot imagine. Are we together now? Yes?
Speaker 2 (38:23):
When I was discussing this, I taught you that as
an expert, when they teach you about accidents, the goal
is not for you to go and die in a
car crash. But you can never be called a professional.
There is a whole course on plane crashes. When you
study aviation and you have been trained to become a
professional pilot, they simulate many kinds of plane crashes.
Speaker 3 (38:46):
And they teach you how to circumvence them. It is on.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Account of that you are satisfied as a professional pilot.
Speaker 3 (38:53):
Are we together? There are many.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
Believers, in an attempt to remain positive, have ignored.
Speaker 3 (38:58):
The reality of the dark.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Well, Jesus himself might revealed many aspects of Satan. It
was Jesus, in fact, our understanding about the operation of
Jesus as far as the gospel. Operation of Satan, as
far as the Gospel is concerned, was revealed.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
By Jesus himself.
Speaker 2 (39:18):
And then Paul came and structured the Satanic kingdom, and
is said, do not be unaware of the wilds or
the devices of the devil. Do not be ignorant, he says.
So you must know God. You must know yourself in
light of who Christ is. You must know your place
(39:39):
in destiny and God's prophetic program. You must understand the
mysteries and the principles of the Kingdom. You must understand
Man and the cosmos. And then you must understand your
adversary the devil. Show me any believer who would have
invested a major portion of his work exploring these dimensions knowledge.
(40:00):
I show you one who it will be impossible to
be a weak believer.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (40:07):
Strength in the Kingdom is a cumulative of your knowledge,
the lights that has come from these various dimensions of knowledge. Allelujah.
Speaker 3 (40:17):
And then I also taught you that there are four.
Speaker 2 (40:20):
Channels to knowing God. This is very important. I hope
I'm still with you or we're still together. Four channels
to knowing God. That everybody who now wants to know God,
there are four channels.
Speaker 3 (40:35):
Number one is scripture.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
The first recommendation as far as the knowledge.
Speaker 3 (40:42):
Of God is concerned, is scripture.
Speaker 2 (40:45):
Our first part of call as believers who seek to
know God and to know Jesus is scripture.
Speaker 3 (40:52):
Allelujah. The Bible tells us in John chapter one.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
From verse one to three, in the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
Verse two says the same was in the beginning with God.
Three says all things were made by Him, and without
him was not anything made that was made. So the
Word is God and scripture is very important. Allelujah. This
(41:21):
is very very important. Scripture reveals the character of God,
and scripture reveals the methodologies of God.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
Number two very quickly.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
The second channel for learning and knowing God is a
careful study on his names. Remember that the names of
God capture various dimensions of his power and his might.
Speaker 3 (41:46):
The names of God.
Speaker 2 (41:47):
Exodus, chapter three thirteen to fifteen. Exodus three thirteen to fifteen,
Moses said, unto God, behold, when I to the children
of Israel, and shall say unto them, the God of
your fathers have sent me onto you, and they shall say.
Speaker 3 (42:06):
Unto me, what is his name? What shall I say
onto them? Fourteen Now?
Speaker 2 (42:11):
And God said onto Moses, I am that I am.
He said, thost shall thou say to the children of Israel,
I Am had sent me to you. Fifteen now he says.
And God said, listen moreover to Moses, thirst shall.
Speaker 3 (42:29):
Thou say to the children of Israel, the Lord.
Speaker 2 (42:33):
God of your fathers, the God of Abraham and the
God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, had.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Sent me to you.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
He says, this is my name forever, and this is
my memorial onto all generations. Now go to chapter six,
same Exodus, chapter six. From verse one, then the Lord
said onto Moses, we're reading to verse three. Don't be
tired of writing scripture. Thou shall, he says, Now, shall
thou see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with
(43:03):
a strong hand shall he let them go? And with
a strong hand shall he.
Speaker 3 (43:09):
Drive them out of his land? Verse two. And God
spake onto Moses, saying.
Speaker 2 (43:17):
I am the Lord these three, and I appeared onto Abraham,
onto Isaac, and onto Jacob by the name of God Almighty,
he says, But by my name Jehovah, was I not
known to them?
Speaker 3 (43:35):
So God reveals himself according to his names. In fact,
the various.
Speaker 2 (43:42):
Names of God that we know from scripture, as you
have been taught, were trapped.
Speaker 3 (43:48):
There were experiences.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
Manifestations of the power, the wisdom, the grace of God.
Every time they saw God move in a dimension that
was foreign to them, they would trap it in a name,
build a memorial around it, so that every time you
wanted to learn that dimension of God, you are referred
to that name. That's how we came about with Jirah
s Kennu. Are we together now? And all of these versions.
Speaker 3 (44:13):
Of his name. So four channels to.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
Knowing God number one, Scripture number two, the names of
God number three, Jesus Christ.
Speaker 3 (44:24):
This is powerful.
Speaker 2 (44:26):
Jesus Christ himself came as an explanation of God. I
told you that Jesus came. Among the many reasons why
he came up to the earth was as a.
Speaker 3 (44:37):
Manuscript and a marching script.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
He came as a correction to our understanding about God.
Are we together that the prior knowledge that the prophets
and the patriots.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Had had about God?
Speaker 2 (44:51):
Because until Jesus came, no one could know God accurately.
Speaker 3 (44:55):
Until Jesus came.
Speaker 2 (44:57):
There were gaps in the understanding of God. Why because
they had to depend on the perception of any prophet
who was in charge at that time to.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Reveal God to them.
Speaker 2 (45:08):
The possibility of a personal experience with God, as we
know widespread, was not given to them as a privilege.
Speaker 3 (45:15):
There were few people who.
Speaker 2 (45:16):
Either by the election of grace or just by reason
of certain covenants, had the privilege of encountering God. But
as a nation and as a people, even though God's people,
they had to interpret. They had to depend on the
interpretation of God that was given to them by the
prophets and the prophets did their best, but they made
(45:37):
a lot of mistakes. There were many things they credited
to God that God had no hand in away together.
Speaker 3 (45:43):
And I hope you know when.
Speaker 2 (45:44):
You study scripture, you will see that even among the
prophetic in the Old Testament, there was a doubling between
authentic work with God, and there were times they delve
into divination. There were times where so there were many
perspectives that they brought together an a nation tis anything
that was beyond the realm of science, and this three
(46:04):
dimensional realm, they largely credited it to God. So Jesus
came as an explanation. He came as a correction of
our perception about God. That means, using the lens of
the person Jesus, we can judge every other prophet and
every other.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
Person who has said anything about God.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Whatever they said about God, we bring it to the
lens of Jesus.
Speaker 3 (46:27):
As the incarnate.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Now are we together, and then we test what they
said God was as against what Jesus came to manifest.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
And anything that we find in defiance or in contrast
toward Jesus was revealing.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Then we knew that something had to be corrected about
their understanding of God is the reason why they got
angry every time Jesus called himself God or the.
Speaker 3 (46:52):
Son of God. They said, you were a young.
Speaker 2 (46:54):
Boy who was born in our presence here, How would
you dare say that you are God. They were angry,
especially the scribes and the Pharisees. He said, before your
your father Abraham, I was and they wanted to stone him.
They said, this guy's blasphemy has gotten to more.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Let's just kill.
Speaker 2 (47:10):
Him before he teaches this nonsense across the city.
Speaker 3 (47:14):
They were uncomfortable.
Speaker 2 (47:16):
But you see, the truth is that Jesus came as a.
Speaker 3 (47:19):
Revelation of the Father.
Speaker 2 (47:21):
You find all that captured in John's Synoptic Account, Chapter one,
from verse one to six, the Bible says, the word
became flesh, and then it dwelt among us, and we
beheld his glory, even as of the only begotten of.
Speaker 3 (47:37):
The Father, full of grace and truth.
Speaker 2 (47:40):
So he was the word incanate he walked upon the
earth he Brews Chapter one, God who in saundry times
and diverse mannerspect to us in time past through the prophet,
had in these last days Verse two spoken to us
through his son, whom he had appointed heir of all things.
Speaker 3 (47:59):
By who also he had made the world's Verse three.
Now the Bible says, who've been.
Speaker 2 (48:04):
The brightness of his glory and the express image of
his person. So Jesus came as the express.
Speaker 3 (48:14):
Image of the Father. That means if you had.
Speaker 2 (48:17):
Never seen the Father, you are never related with the Father.
Speaker 3 (48:20):
If you looked at Jesus, he came.
Speaker 2 (48:22):
As an explanation, an accurate explanation of the Father.
Speaker 3 (48:26):
Why do we know.
Speaker 2 (48:27):
That Jesus represented the Father properly because the Father himself
gave a public word of commendation. He said, this is
my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased, and
he mandated.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
Creation to hear him. Are we together?
Speaker 2 (48:45):
So we learn God as we study Jesus. Finally, the
fourth channel for learning and knowing God is through experience.
There is a place for experience Joe forty two and
verse five.
Speaker 3 (49:01):
It was job who taught us this through his pain.
Speaker 2 (49:03):
I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear,
it says, But now my eyes seeet be you can
know God through experience. First John chapter one, from verse
one we're reading to five, Allelujah, praise the name of
the Lord, I'm giving you a lot of scripture. Write
(49:25):
it in Jesus name and your sound doctrine. In Jesus'
much less name, we have prayed. John one, let's do
one to five. You won't believe that I've not even
started my teaching this night, But this is important.
Speaker 3 (49:39):
Write it down.
Speaker 2 (49:40):
That which was from the beginning, which we have heard,
which we have seen with our eyes. Are we together,
which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled
of the world of life?
Speaker 3 (49:55):
Verse two.
Speaker 2 (49:56):
For the life was manifested, and we have seen it
this way, eyewitnesses, and bear witness, and show onto you
that eternal life which was with the Father and was
manifest onto us. Use three that which we have seen
and heard. Declare we onto you that ye also may
have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with
(50:19):
the Father and with his son Jesus Christ. Two more verses,
and these things right we onto you, that your joy
might be full.
Speaker 3 (50:29):
The last verse. Now, this then is the message he says,
which we.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Have heard of him, And declare unto you that God
is light, and in him there is no darkness. Apostle Johnny, saying, listen,
we were eyewitnesses.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
We worked with Jesus, we sat with him. He taught us.
We were direct products of his mentorship.
Speaker 2 (50:49):
And so when we teach you, you must be able
to believe. Believe that we're not just teaching you cunningly
devised fables. You can know God through experience. Allelujah.
Speaker 3 (51:04):
I will still together. Let's pray the spirit for one minute.
Speaker 2 (51:09):
Jesus Si la ka po sapran da Cappalaco theater.
Speaker 3 (51:15):
Thank you for understanding. Allelujah.
Speaker 2 (51:24):
As chapter seventeen, something happened in Athens. As chapter seventeen,
Let's begin our reading from verse sixteen to seventeen.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Then we jumped to twenty two to twenty four. Now
watch this.
Speaker 2 (51:38):
The Bible says, while Paul waited for them at Athens,
his spirit was tard in him when he saw the
city wholly given to idolatry.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
This was Paul Apostle.
Speaker 2 (51:52):
He entered into Athens, and he saw that the people
were given to idolatry verse seventeen. There for disputedly in
the synagogue with the Jews and with the devout persons,
and in the market daily with them.
Speaker 3 (52:09):
That met him.
Speaker 2 (52:09):
He kept at you, and I said, listen, something is
wrong you people are zealous people, but this is idolatry.
Speaker 3 (52:16):
Jump to verse twenty two.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
The Bible says, then Paul stood in the midst of
the mass heel and said, ye, men of Athens, I
perceived that in all things ye are too superstitious Verse
three twenty three. Now, for as I passed by, he says,
and beheld your devotions.
Speaker 3 (52:40):
So these were people who were zealous and committed.
Speaker 4 (52:44):
I found an altar with this inscription to the unknown God,
whom ye therefore ignorantly worship.
Speaker 2 (52:56):
This ignorance your devotion shipping an unknown god, he says,
I have come to give you clarity about that God,
because when I came into Athens, I saw.
Speaker 3 (53:08):
A lot of religiousity. He said, you were even too superstitious.
Speaker 2 (53:12):
Use the mind of your imagination to imagine a city.
Everywhere you went there were monuments, there were traditional practices.
Everybody was suggesting anything, and they had to build an altar.
They said, we know this much, whoever this god is,
and they put in an inscription there we don't know you,
but will keep worshiping you. What a tragedy.
Speaker 3 (53:36):
To the unknown God.
Speaker 2 (53:37):
How do you become so devoted to an unknown god?
Worshiping an unknown God. How do you know he has
answered you? How do you know you are not in error?
Who corrects who?
Speaker 3 (53:49):
And by what standard? Keep that scripture there, please, I
want you to look at that scripture very carefully as
I passed by. You know what that meant? Paul? I
like Paul. Paul just kept going around.
Speaker 2 (54:03):
Athens, from one region to the other, and he said
everybody was bowing down, worshiping others, had a set of knowledge,
there were.
Speaker 3 (54:13):
Ideas, people were mentoring.
Speaker 2 (54:15):
Others, and yet there was widespread ignorance in Athens. And
Paul said, you even did an altar and you openly
wrote an inscription on it to the unknown God.
Speaker 3 (54:27):
In other words, we are so devoted. We love this
God and we wish we could know him.
Speaker 2 (54:33):
But since he has chosen not to review himself to us,
our devotion continues even in ignorance. Does that sound like
a generation? Does that sound like an individual? If a
whole territory can worship an unknown God, there are many
people today who have died to a unknown God. There
are many people today who have argued about an unknown God.
(54:56):
There are many people today, respectfully speaking, preaching about and
unknown God, advocating doing and even doing evangelous into an
unknown God, bringing seeds, tiding, giving to an unknown God.
And Paul said, I have come to declare him to you.
Let's look at verse twenty four. It says God that
(55:19):
made the world and all things therein, seeing that he
is Lord of heaven and earth, dwell let not in
temples made with hands. And when you begin to read,
he started explaining to them. Now he was bringing perspective
to this unknown God.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
Please look up.
Speaker 2 (55:37):
Do you know, ladies and gentlemen, that what happened in
Athens is still true in many, many lives today. There
are many people who have written songs to an unknown God,
received all kinds of pain to an unknown God, serving
(55:57):
in a church that they believe his own by an
unknown God, writing books that they kept to an unknown God.
This is from a standpoint of love. I hope you
understand me. The goal is to give us perspective. It's
not amazing the zeal of the average Christian in Africa.
Africa is about one of the most religious continents, passionate people.
(56:21):
I mean you, is this spiritual exercises of widespread fasting?
Is this spiritual exercise of or not to spiritual authorities.
I mean, you find the Church of the Lord Jesus
Christ in many regards. In Africa, you find it down
middle is there is devotion in a way if you've
had the privilege of traveling across the globe, even whether
(56:44):
it is in your mind or physically, it will still
achieve the same results away together. And you see the
kind of devotion there are priests across the globe, in
the christiandom, in every other religious expression, you will see
the sacrifices, consecrations, first things, abstinence devotion. And you are
(57:06):
wondering this widespread devotion. There are parents who have quarreled
their children. Bear well, God is not happy with you.
Speaker 3 (57:14):
The question is which God?
Speaker 2 (57:20):
How about we servants of the Lord Jesus Christ. We
have taught serious and serious about God. We have spoken
about Heaven. We have cried on crusade grounds backconing on thousands,
praying for millions to come to this God, and they
respond faithfully. Then they walk up to us, and then
(57:41):
we lead them with they say of turning God or
their Lord Jesus. And at the end of it, respectfully speaking,
largely both the preacher and the new converts are.
Speaker 5 (57:52):
Not even aware of who they are talking to. Allelujah,
no wonder.
Speaker 2 (58:06):
There is usually a problem of conviction in light of situations,
in light of you know, negative situations, especially so you
find out that there is a vacillation of convictions.
Speaker 3 (58:20):
Today we stand strong, I know God will heal me.
I know it shall end up in praise.
Speaker 2 (58:26):
And then eventually our convictions begin to dwindle because in
truth we are not sure. We made both full statements,
but now we're not sure again. You see, it's already
happening to so many people. On one hand, we say, no,
this God, if it is my God, I know him,
I know he will come true for this family.
Speaker 3 (58:46):
I know he can't leave me down. And then eventually
we begin to negotiate so.
Speaker 2 (58:51):
Many things and say I don't even know again, God.
Speaker 3 (58:54):
Is it your will? There are many people angry with
God today because they were taught to live in.
Speaker 2 (59:00):
An unknown God, and they believed in that unknown God,
and many things that they believed he would do were
not done, and in anger. Now there are many many
people who do.
Speaker 3 (59:12):
Not even want the mention of church, do not want
the mention of anything.
Speaker 2 (59:16):
They say God has failed me. I have a pleasfora
of failure. There's too much failure in my life.
Speaker 3 (59:21):
What kind of a God is this? I read in
the Bible that he is almighty. I read in the
Bible that he is all powerful. I read in the
Bible that the cattle on a thousand he will belongs
to him.
Speaker 2 (59:31):
And here am I serving God, loving him in church.
And then it looks like he does not want to
attend to me, do you know? Respectfully speaking? Sometimes people
send me text messages and I know their dorenis incerely
They say apposal, since God has not had me, this
is my prayer. Request at me and tell him that
we need Yes, sir, and now you don't laugh at them.
(59:56):
At least I admit my ignorance that I don't know him.
You who claims to know him, please help me. The
most important thing is this, yest, not who is talking.
Letting just be aware that there are needs in my.
Speaker 3 (01:00:07):
Life like this.
Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
As simple as this message is, ladies and gentlemen, what
I'm about to share with you will bring you liberation.
