Welcome to track number one of the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit. Amen. All right, let's pray. Father, thank you for this morning. Thank you for today. Thank you for the blessing of this time, this moment. Thank you for the Holy Spirit. In Jesus name, guide us. In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen. You may be seated. Hallelujah. OK, Are you excited? Fantastic. We are on our sweet influences and we are pressing on. Amen. Now, how many of you want to do the will of God? Wow. I believe that the will of God is being done in your life. Amen. Do you believe that? Do you believe? Are you sure you believe? Is it fantastic? Right. Where's Ida? Where are the stars? OK, you know what? I want you to learn how to sing and minister to the Lord, not to perform. You see, there's a difference between doing a performance on some special occasion and then working for God where you are always singing for the Lord. Because when you start singing for the Lord you, when you start working for the Lord, you sing as your work, not as a special day of performing some fantastic something. Are you with me? Are you still here? That's the difference you see. It's like being a beautiful lady who is always nice at home outside, whether you put on makeup or no makeup. But the ones you see that are specially made-up to go out, those are not nice ones. Yeah, don't marry a lady who puts on a lot of makeup. In fact, be careful of them. They are not real people and if you are a brother and you don't know much about makeup, learn it. But I will show you what to do. Just take your finger. Just take your finger and then do this. So there was a mosquito and then check your finger and see whether there is something, some special brown paste on your finger and you realise that as someone the face is not a real face at all. It's not a real face at all. It's totally fisted, the camouflage. So I want you to really be someone you can sing, but it's not for a show. It's not a special thing. It's what you always do and you do it always for all occasions and you do it well on all occasions and you are always ready. Is it one of the abilities of Ida is her ability to remember all songs that I want when I want them? Because you are of no use when I need a song and you cannot sing that song at that moment. You cannot remember the words you understand because your music is a ministry. And if it's a ministry, then it is also joining to help what we are doing. Are you understanding me? OK, so I want the stars to be able to sing all the time, and then as a good star, you must not only sing certain songs when you are here, but you must sing certain songs all the time. That's the song you sing. You cannot say, well, I listen to High Life and the afternoons and then in the evenings I listen to something else and then on Sundays I listen to church music. So at this time we are trying to even out our lives so that we don't have very nice and very ugly in one. If you take, for instance, a grave or a tomb, a tomb, the tombstone is very expensive. It costs a lot of money and it's made-up of marble, made sometimes terrazzo, sometimes some special tiles. It has a plaque, different things. Now you can even sit there. If you go to the cemetery, you see them sitting on them and eating. But if you were to open what you will see, you may not eat for some time, for a long time to come, because the person in there is half decomposed, half of the body is mixed up, half the bones are. It's not like you see. It's not like you see a full body, then you see a skeleton. It's not like that. It's the transition, Yeah. Of rotting. The person gets rotting and it starts just changing. And, you know, you disappear in very, very some way. And smelly. Yeah. I've, I've, I've, I've assumed a dead body before. Yeah. And I've been in the mochi where they bring they brought some somebody that they assume it's not a small thing. Now the Bible says that hypocrisy when he was speaking to the Pharisees, those were the people Jesus didn't like at all. When he came, you know, he said that you are like whitewashed tombs on the outside. You are you are you are shining like this. But then there is another side is the same tomb. It's so completely rotten. So when it comes to serving God, you have to try to even out the out and the in instead of evening out. You are evening out what you are like, are you getting what I'm saying? Evening even out. So that out is similar to in as similar as possible. Did you get it? The out is as close to the in as possible. Stand up, my dear. This is Cardella, right? The out, this is out. She's this is her out should be as close to the in as possible. Yeah, but if when we go in to the house and then there is another and the whole human being is completely different, like the inside of a tombstone, then the out is so different from the inn. And you create a modern day Pharisee. You create a modern day Pharisee. Yeah, that's a modern Pharisee. Yeah. So every aspect of our lives, you see, the out should be as close to the inn. You have to even. I mean, if you look at yourself like she could come. Jesus. Oh, I spot your hair. Jesus, I love you. And then you see another character coming of that same person, and the person is not sweet at all. Very nasty. You know, just press it off. Are you there? Yeah. So we are trying to even out all that we are. And the same thing comes to music. You you have to even out what you listen to, what you like, what you sing. You can't, you can't listen to High life during the day, in the afternoons, in the evenings. You start listening to Maranatha and Integrity music, Hosanna music, are you there or you are going home? So all aspects of you need evening out. And I pray that at this camp we will be evening out a lot of things. Yeah. So you yourself will feel sick as you are so presentable in church, but then behind the scenes you are sick. Is it not true, true or not true? So I'm saying that it is not unusual for you to be not even. This is normal. If you like, look at the person next to you. That particular person is not even out and in. I saw you check in the face. Check, check, check. Is this fantastic? So I am, I'm saying to all of you singers, stars, because by the time we are finishing this camp, everybody is going to have a job. So I need you. I need you to make yourself available to sing, OK? So when I call Ida, Ida Singh, she's pregnant. She's she's tired, OK? She cannot even find a dress to wear. So you just call any of your stars, OK? And they sing for you. OK, So sing a song. Lisa, come on. Oh, I wanna be remembered as the girl who sang the song for Jesus Christ, who was willing to lay down her life and do his will no matter what the price. So I'm singing for the deaf man who can hear about salvation through my song, and I'm singing for the black man who can see the light in me and come along live for Jesus. That's what matters. And when other houses crumble, mine is strong. Live for Jesus, That's what matters, That you see the light in me and come along. There are times when I've been tempted to turn off this very Rd. I travel along. There were times when I said, Jesus, can she find another girl to sing your song? Well, is not that I'm the only one who can sing this melody, but He has chosen me to bless me and to lead me into what is good for me. Live for Jesus, that's what matters. And when all the houses crumble, mine is strong. Live for Jesus, that's what matters. That you see the light in me and the comfort of God. Live for Jesus, that's what matters. And when other houses crumble, mine is wrong. Liberal Jesus, that's what matters. That you see the light in me and come along. That you see the light in me and come alone. That you see the light in me and come alone. Hallelujah. Now I'm going to go through many. Oh, OK, I'm going to go through many influences of the Spirit. OK, now it's not about with the Holy Spirit. You cannot know how things are done. You cannot be given steps to something. Do you understand when it comes to the Holy Spirit who is influencing you, you cannot be given steps on how the Holy Spirit influences you. What you can know as far as the Holy Spirit influence is that these are things that He does. So that once you know what he does, you are open to it. And then when you, when it's happening, you can sense that this is happening and you can flow with it. Do you understand? Because if you do not know what the Holy Spirit is doing and it looks foreign to you, looks strange to you, you, you, you cut it out, you, you object to it, you stop it, and then the Holy Spirit's influence is quenched. That is why the Bible says in referring to the Holy Spirit. Mostly it's quenched notes or despised notes. Mostly it's about quenching or despising. Despising has to do with not respecting. A lot of things of the Holy Spirit are not respectable, as we know. Respectful things, yeah. A lot of the Holy Spirit things are not respectful as long as they have respectability. But they are from him, yeah. From the Holy Spirit, yeah. And a lot of things of the Holy Spirit is about pointing or not pointing. There is nothing about learning how to or steps two. It's either you quench or you. It's just there. So it's about quenching or not quenching, despising or not despising. So it's about knowing that it's there so that you don't quench or knowing that it's there so you don't disrespect it. That's that's when it comes to the Holy Spirit. That's the main thing. Don't you can't know how to do things like how to, let's say certain steps? 2 the influence, getting the influence of the Spirit on this. I, I, I don't know any seven steps. What I know is that he influences that. So when you sense that he's influencing that there are two, only two things the Holy Spirit quench not or despise not. So our main wrong response to the Holy Spirit is quenching and despising, you see? So these sweet influences is it. That's why, that's why I'm calling them sweet influences, because it's like it's a gentle influence of the Holy Spirit on your life. And your response to an influence is to quench or despise. These are the mistakes that we make. And that's why this is the main instruction that he gave. Don't quench it, don't despise it. It's a real thing. He is influencing you. Amen. Now the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit on your destiny, your destiny. And I'm going to start with this. I hear you have a coffee break. So before your coffee break, we are going to know the sweet influences of the spirit of your destiny. Amen. Now, is that already fantastic? Yeah. How many want to know about the influence on your destiny? Wow. Shabaya Revelations Chapter 22 and the Spirit and the Bride say come. The Spirit and the Bride say come. You see, if the Holy Spirit is working and influencing one of the main influences of the Spirit on your life is you will hear him calling you and saying come, come. Yes. The Spirit and the Bride say come. Yes, the Spirit, the Spirit and the Bride say come, Wow, this is what the Spirit says. The Spirit and the Bride are saying, come, come, come, come to me, come to me, come. The Spirit and the Bride say come. So you will see that when you are under the influence of the Spirit more you will sense within you a calling. Come, come. He's always pulling you. He's pulling you towards him. And he says, Let him that heareth say come. That is, those who are under the influence of the Spirit will always sense that come. And I've noticed over the years I always tell people, come, come to the come, come along, let's go, come, come. It's the sweet influence of the Spirit saying come, why not come along, come along so as the influence. What people don't realise is that is why it's not about 7 steps to how to be influenced to here come. I can't, I don't have such a message. I'm just telling you what he does. Yes, so that you don't quench it and you don't despise it. Letting that here take come and letting that is a first come and whosoever will letting take up the water of life freely. Amen. Hallelujah. This is one of the last statements in the Book of Revelation. And it it's so important that it bears enough importance for us to read. For I say unto everyone that can read the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life and out of the holy city. And from the things which I have written in this book, which testifieth these things, he which testifieth these things saith, surely I come quickly. Even so. Come, Lord Jesus, the grace of our Lord Jesus be with you all. Amen. Hallelujah. Now when you are under, since I've been under the influence of the Holy Spirit years ago in Achimoto school, I could hear the word come, but you don't even hear it audibly, but you sense a drawing because the Spirit is always saying come, come, come closer, come closer to me. I want to feel you. I want to touch you. I want to change your life. Yeah. So you will always, as you serve him, be hearing him say. And right now everybody here who is under the influence of the Holy Spirit can hear him saying, come, is it not true? Is it not true? Yeah, because if you are under the influence of the Holy Spirit, you will hear the Spirit saying, come, yeah, if you are under the. But you can under the influence for the Holy Spirit. From a child this morning I told my little daughter when she finished having a quiet time, I told her all always pray for the Holy Spirit. Yeah, I said, pray for the Holy Spirit. Yeah. And I made her pray for the Holy Spirit. Ask God for the Holy Spirit. Ask God for the Holy Spirit so that you will be under the influence of the Holy Spirit. And she started praying for the Holy Spirit. I read it to her in Luke 11. If you, being evil can give good things to your children, how much more will your Father give you the Holy Spirit? The best thing you can ever have is the Holy Spirit. Amen. But there is one great opposer opposition. Why is it that many people do not obey the voice of the Holy Spirit and the influence of the Holy Spirit? I will tell you the answer today. Don't tell people who will be offended, but I'm telling you, OK, Why do people not obey the influence of the Spirit when God calls them, I have the answer, He wants to know the answer. It's going to shock you. How many want to receive a shock? Are you sure the answer is? Are you sure you want to know? Are you really sure? I'm going to tell you the answer. The answer is. The answer is huh? Do you want to know why many people. Don't tell people who will be offended by this message. Just keep it to yourself, OK? But I don't want you to tell anybody who's going to be offended. The reason why many people do not come and do not respond to the Holy Spirit is witchcraft. How many are shocked? What a what a shock. I mean many of you are thinking to yourself, oh so I mean if I'm a student and I don't obey the call of God and I don't come in the spirit, it implies me coming. Is it witchcraft? Am IA witch? No, I didn't say you are a witch. I said the reason why you do not is witchcraft. Turn with me to Galatians chapter 3. Oh, foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? How foolish Galatians, who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? How foolish Galatians, Who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? Who has bewitched you? You see, people who do not obey the truth are bewitched, especially when the truth is from the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit is the one true power and influence that you must be under. Witchcraft is the release of another power. A power that is not the Holy Spirit is witchcraft. Yeah. So a power that works on you, that makes you do things that is not the Holy Spirit, is what we call witchcraft. Yes, we have sorcery, necromancy and what do you call it, soothsaying and all these other things. They are all powers that people use. But there there is witchcraft which is very, very common in the Church, very very common in the church. And any power that is an influence on your life that is not the Holy Spirit and it makes you do things is witchcraft. So witchcraft can operate in because who has bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? So by this scripture we see the definition of witchcraft that you are under. You see the, the word, the Greek word bewitch, is it? It means to smite the eyes of the person you see. So sometimes you say when a man maybe has a nice wife and he's going after some girl, then he says that the girl has bewitched him, Isn't it? It's like he's come under some kind of influence. Yes, he's kind of he's, he has come under some kind of influence and he's left his nice family and his nice wife and he's going after some cockroach somewhere. So it's like he is under some kind of influence. Do you understand which which is not good and that influence is making him do what he is doing and what influences that? And that's the question that for us asking that who has bewitched you, what bewitchment has taken place? That a clear thing that you should be doing. You see, you are not doing it, but you are going in another way. And what we are saying is that it's not that there is no Holy Spirit or not that there is no influence of the Spirit in your life. The Holy Spirit said that the Spirit and the Bride say come. That's what that is there. They come in there and you can hear him loud and clear over and over, over and over, over and over. The Spirit and the Bride say come. The Spirit and the bride isn't the web come Throughout the Bible you share God using the web. Come, come, come, come unto me. Come, come, come. It is all hundreds of times in the Bible. Come, come. God is always gone. He said, Zacchaeus, come down today. I'm going to stay in your house. Let them come, let them come, come, come. Always God is called drawing people to Him. So the point that I'm I'm explaining to you is that when people clearly do not obey the truth, usually there is another influence that they come under and that is why they don't obey the truth. And what influence is that? What influence is that? That is what we call witchcraft. So according to this definition you find out that. A witch can be even your mother, or your mother may be operating witchcraft because she may be exerting and due influence that is beyond what is supposed to be from a mother. A pastor can be a witch because he may be exerting an influence that is beyond what is normal and what is supposed to be expected from a pastor. Yeah. So a pastor can now operate in witchcraft, and he is exerting some powers over you. Do this. Come here, go here, do this, do this. That is beyond what is expected and what is normal and what is good to a point that you will not even obey the word of God. A husband and a wife. A wife is You see many people say when you hear the word witch you think immediately of a woman. But no, the common person we think about is Jezebel. But the first witch in the Bible was a male. Witch is called a wizard, and the first witch in the Bible was a male. That is Balaam the Sooth Sayer. He was the first wizard. He is mentioned repeatedly in the Bible trying to exert influence and power to destroy Israel. And when he was unable to do it through necromancy and spiritual prophecies and things like that, he still went down, descended and used women and try to talk to the leaders to send the women to go and sleep with the Israelites and that it would destroy them. So he was always using his power. So the first witch was a male and the second well known witch was a female. So to be fair, the witches are both males and females. Are you? Are you still with me? Yeah. So to be really fair, with witchcraft, it can be male or female. Yeah, yeah. So when people do not obey and are going completely away, you find out that they are under some kind of power that is working. You can have the witch in the form of a husband who is exerting an influence over the wife, so much so that she cannot serve God, she cannot go to church, she cannot even do her work. And it's like, and these type of witches, male witches will use and sometimes in marriage can use the power of the scripture. The devil used the scripture. Male witches use scriptures, female witches use scriptures. And I'm not going to use the word wizard. I'm going to use male witch and female witch because the witch is what you understand. So if you marry a male witch, he can accept power. Especially sometimes people love the Lord. And they cannot even do the work of the Lord. That's because your husband is exerting and do whatever powers over you and saying you must do this as a wife. You must do this as a wife, You must do even beyond anything reasonable. Then also you can have a female witch who can also exert influence which is not the Holy Spirit influence. Now a witch will seek first of all, number one will seek to the witch have two main ways of working. Whether it's a male witch or a female witch. They work in two main ways. And the first way is to dominate you from above and control you. But if it doesn't work, the force doesn't work. Then they they they switch from domination to manipulation. So they they move from below and manipulate you. True insinuations, discussions, meetings, accusations, suggestions and so on. So because if you are not strong enough to dominate, then you switch to the manipulation and then they manipulate from the site. But you see, the person is controlling and doing things all the time from the back, from the back end of the of the website, the back end, because every website has a front and a back end. The people who make the website work at the back end and they change the pictures from the back that the front is what you see. So the manipulation is done from the back on the back end. Yeah. So when you have a witch, female witch, and you've married one and she doesn't want you to do the work of the Lord, she would use a husband. Love your wife. I'm crying, always crying, weeping. I'm not happy. The Bible says this. The Scripture says this. Even calling the pastor, calling the baby, Manipulating, manipulating. Manipulating. Yeah. So watch out for beloved. Who? Even whilst you are beloved, you see that the person is making certain remarks. Yeah, one day a certain missionary went to the mission field and then he had a beloved back home. And as he was out there, he he called his beloved, oh, how we are going on the street and then the, you know, the phone is breaking. He was not hearing was oh, then he was talking on the phone and the beloved was talking from back home in Ghana. So then the beloved said, OK, we are going. So we'll see. I'll call you later. Oh, but I'm talking to you. He is oh, but we are also going to witness. I will call you back. Then it became a beast. You see, you have to watch out for early beasts. There's something we call early beasts. Early beasts is what we call, what do you call the tsunami warnings? Early tsunami warnings, she said. She said it's like as you are talking to me, it's like you have more time for those that beloved said, the missionary said, But I am on the mission field. I have taken my phone and I have called you here. Why are you saying? What are you saying? You see? What are you trying to say? I mean because I agree with this thing and it's like now I rather have taken my Rd. tell him we are going on the road, we are with this thing you rather have now tell the things you don't have time. So after the beast was over, then she sent another message. Forgive me for being a woman, which is a very dangerous message because forgive me for being a woman. It's another manipulative something that is like, you know, I'm just a woman. I'm just a woman. I'm just a human. I'm only human. I'm just a woman. Human, human, woman. Watch out for early tsunami warnings. I'm just a woman. Indeed, you are just a woman. What do me And I'm a what astronaut? I'm an astronaut. You are manipulating the guy from Ghana. You are manipulating the guy over from the back end of the website. You are working on the bus. So now the person is doing witnessing, he's now feeling guilty that he is more interested in some of the sisters and the other people that is doing witnessing. Meanwhile he was the one who called you that chale. We are on the street so we are going witnessing. So now he's feeling bad and guilty that chale Ecola. He has seen one of the sisters the adventure. So when they cannot dominate, then they money. Because if you are a beloved, you have to use mainly manipulation. Yeah, you have to use because you are not yet a wife. You have to, you have to be a specialist of manipulation. And then when you're married, depending on the strength of the person you've married, you use either manipulation or domination. If the guy is, if the guy is strong, you may have to use manipulation. The guy is sweet, you may use domination. So you see that the choleric strong women, they try to dominate their husbands and control them and speak down, and sometimes they even insult them. Yeah. So that they even insult them. They sort them out and they put them down. They degrade their husbands. And they try to because they sense the calmness of the person. Yeah. So many choleric girls are liabilities when you marry them, Messi. I'm just a woman. I'm only human. Are you there? You are going home. Who has bewitched you? So sometimes you see that you would have obeyed the word of God, but you come under a new influence. Another influence has come and because of that influence, that's it. Yeah. And that's what I'm saying, that when when you see a young man, you've got a nice husband or beloved and you are moving on a wife, that's like the person is now following something. And then when you sit back, you look, it doesn't make sense because everything then you ask yourself, the guy is bewitched. See, that's what we mean. That's what I'm talking about. And in the Greek, it means to smite this the eye. Or do we say the guy is blind or the guy is a fool? That's why Paul called them, oh, foolish Galatians. So the guy is a fool, the guy is blind. You see so many people, when the influence of the spirit comes and you disobey it, you don't go. You actually sometimes are actually following a bewitchment. Strong bewitchment. Yeah. Are you there and you are actually following something into a terrible delusion of your whole life before whose eyes Jesus Christ has evidently set forth, crucified among you. Now I need you to turn with me to see why Satan wants to bewitch you through whoever. It may be a beloved, it may be a brother, it may be of your own father, it may be your mother, it may be anybody. You must distinguish between the voice of your father and the voice of God, the voice of your mother and the voice of God. My father wanted me to be go to Oxford University when I finished Ghana Medical School. Yes, I could have also been a president after that. But I had to distinguish between the voice of my elderly father and the voice of God's calling in my life. If you can't distinguish between voices, you cannot hear the spirit's influence because his influence is sweet. It's so gentle. It can be quenched. It's sad that you can easily not respect it. These are the two main things. You either quench it. It's so quenchable, and it's so easy to disrespect it. That's why many people don't know. It's the slightest influence you can ever have. It's like a dove. It's like a bed. Yeah, so you, that's why I can't give you steps, but I can tell you that it exists, so you can be careful. And when you hear the spirit say come, then you just go. And you have already heard the spirit say come. Now, since Satan wants to harm you, since Satan wants to harm you, and he wants to be with you, it will be of interest to you to know why. Do you want to know why your life will be destroyed when you don't obey His calling? Now Romans chapter 8 verse 28 gives you the reason why Satan does not want you. So he knows. He knows. He knows what a good life you are going to have. I said he knows what a good life. He knows what a good life you are going to have when you follow his call. Yeah, he knows the Scriptures better than we know. Don't ever try to do a Bible study with the devil. He knows the Bible more than you. Look, somebody who could quote the verses to Jesus 2008 years ago, he's been quoting Scriptures to people for years. Yes. Don't ever try to do a Bible study with the devil. Yeah, he knows the Scriptures more than you do. Yeah. Now this is the best you all know Romans 8, 28 there's a keyword in there, and that word is a word called. Is that called? There? Is that called There Is that called there? Is that called in that verse? OK, what? What is the good thing that is destined for the people that are called? What is the blessedness that has been prophesied over people that are called and we know. As I said, don't try to do Bible study with the devil because he knows it before you even know it, before you were born, he knew it. And he has camouflaged and sent witches, male witches and female witches to influence you away from the core and from the influence of the spirit. And we know that all things work together for good for Christians, for members, for, for those washed by the blood, for the leaders. And we know and the devil also knows that all things work together for good to them that love God, and to them who are the called according to His purpose. All things expect even your mistakes to work together for good, even your mistakes. When you are called and you are obeying the call of God, expect even your mistakes to start organizing themselves for a reversal of evil. This promise is for cold people. If I find you pursuing your agricultural Korea at Wisconsin farms in the United States of America in the next 25 years, you are there as a farmer. When I see you, I don't think I will be able to say this is somebody who has been called now I will say this somebody who is a farmer. It's an ordinary farmer, but if I find you after 25 years holding a Bible, talking to people, people are listening to you. After 25 years, I think I can better describe you as the call. This guy is one of the guys who has been called. That's a fact. So the influence of the Spirit was bringing you to a certain kind of. Life. That can never be found anywhere. You just, you just think about the mistakes you have made and you are going to make. Look, let's take one of your exams, OK, within two hours, look at how many mistakes you make and you sit down to do an exam. Within two hours you have made so many mistakes. Take about it. You sit down. Just two hours have finished and you have made so many mistakes. How much more if a whole day goes by? How much more if three days go by? How much more if one week goes by? Are you not going to make mistakes? Oh, but I have even you see, this is even the chicken feed of the blessings of of certain things about people that are called. This is even chicken feed for people that are called. People that are called are not ordinary people. People who have listened to the Spirit saying come, the Spirit said, come. And they said, yes, here am I, here am I, I can hear you say, come, hey, this is nothing because I don't have to go far. I just have to know. I have to just read that very next verse. I'm talking about people that have called. I just have to go to the next line. I'm talking about the sweet influences of the Spirit that says, Come, come, come. For whom He did for know He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the first born among many brethren. Moreover, whom he did predestinate them, them, them, them, them. He also calls. That word is there again. That word is there again because God does about 3 or 4 things before He calls you. So yeah, He accepts several things emotion before He interrupts your life with a calling. Yeah, several things have been said. So when you set aside the call of God, you are a full capital. Plus it's a very wild thing to set aside the call because the call has interrupted about four things which have already been done for for you. So when you just take your karate chop and just do something to the call, it exists. Only witchcraft and foolishness can be used to describe what you are doing. Because he says then he also called and whom he called he justified. And he said joke and whom he justified he also glorified. It's like a joke. I said it is like a joke. I said it's like a joke. By the time God is calling, he's about to call you. He has done a number of things, yes, He said #1 whom he did for know. So he knows. It's like he knows you. He knows about you. It's like he has taken a special knowledge about you. Only you. What is your name? Richmond yeah, he's not yet called you. He's not going to call you yet. He has to 1st for know you so so God you understand what is happening. He says first he has to know you know about you and know you very well. He will not just get up and call you just you see calling is down then the next step. But first of all, he's taking special knowledge about you. God doesn't just get up and start calling. Can't you see? You know, This is why people really, some people really feel like Calvin, really feel that a lot of people cannot be saved because it's like for somebody to be saved. It's like if you preach to 100 people, maybe just about 8 of them will actually listen or be saved. It's like I'm preaching. They don't they don't even understand it and and and you can have thousands and thousands of Christians. Few people can even ever hear and understand the call of God. Few are like that. Then I'm talking about the influence of the spirit on your destiny. When he has taken a special, you see, Tamara come here, If I take a special interest in her, maybe I want one day to call her to work for me. But she doesn't work for me. She works in the hospital. She goes to school first, First who I need to know. So it's like I've taken an interest because I'm explained to you that Kali is not an accidental. It's not like there's as of God, He has a big trumpet, Papa calling call PP. No, he will take you. Yes, and he will know you. OK, then predestinate that is have some FISA plans, future, future protection for the having you called a person, having you called a person also special program in my mind, calling hasn't come, calling hasn't come, calling hasn't come. It is in my head, it is in my head, it is in my plans, it's in my plans for help. I've taken a plan. Wow. That's when you see somebody who is just making rubbish of the corn of God and saying I'm going, I'm doing something else, I'm going to do whatever. You don't understand what you are doing. You have thrown away a very big plan. I said you have thrown away a very long time plan. That was planned Caleb long ago. Colin hasn't come yet at all, but I want to know your name and look, what's your name? What's your name? And I know her name. Then I'm going to make a plan for you. I'm going to make a plan for you. So you are in my project now. So now I'm thinking of what I'm going to say about the object of my thinking. I said call has it come? Call has didn't come. Nobody has called anybody yet whom he did for. No, he did predestinate destiny. That's too fantastic because the Spirit said come and you, you say what? Karate. Karate me, you karate me. I had a plan, a nice plan. Hi there. I had a nice plan and I plan predestinates that you should be confirmed to his image so that you will be the that Jesus will be the first one among many brethren. So I plan to bring you, upgrade you. You do understand what I'm talking about. I plan to upgrade you to be like Jesus so that you and Jesus will be like brothers. I plan to upgrade you. I thought that I was to teach you certain skills and to just upgrade you. I wanted to upgrade you from a certain low level to be like Jesus so that you will be you. Jesus will be the first amongst a lot. So it'll be just like Jesus. Yeah, that was the plan. That was the plan then. No, calling hasn't come. You have not been called, he's not getting called. You've just been known about God has chosen from your his from your your your mother's womb somewhere or from some other place. He's taking a space out of your family. Look at your look at your look at your family members. Look at the people, look at the people. I I feel like looking at the Scripture that I. OK, now Colin is coming. Whom he did for know he did predestinate. Moreover, whom he did predestinate, then he also called. So now he's calling you. He's now calling you. So all of you who are hearing the sweet inference of the speaking call calling you. It has taken God a long time to work on you. He has organized so many things, change things, move things around, play some games, play some cards, rearrange people, make things go a certain way. Then He has a big plan. Then you start to hear for the first time such a consideration as a call of God. It even comes to your head that it will even come to your head when it doesn't come to people's head at all, that it has come to your head. You don't have any idea what it means that God may have been calling you to work for Him and to do something for Him. Now it's getting better because the rest, the rest of it is like magic. I mean, I don't even know. I don't even know what to say. And whom He calls bad people, then he also justified, justified, justified. Hey, look at you and me. Very bad people. And it's like, you see, that is why you can never please God by the works you do by faith when you obey his court. You see, if you read the Bible, all the famous people, they did very little. Their work was like, no, I just built the ark and got drunk after him. That's all. He's in the Bible. Very, very. Everybody did something small. I'll say it again, everybody did something small. The small thing they did, they did it out of faith. They believed. That's the point. They believed something. That's why you may, you may be someone who will even do more, but you'll be doing it out of your self righteousness. But somebody will do little. But he really believes in God and he believes in the call of God. So that says whom he called. Then he justifies. Oh, you are clear. You are clear. Even me. You know, so many people that I've tried to work with have invited. They wouldn't come. The people that have accepted me, accepted my invitation to work with me. They, they, they, they there's a way. There's a sense in which they are justified to me or they are good to me. Justified means like you have become a good person. Yeah, you've been sort of like, you are like a good person to the person. Yeah. If I take my Lou here, Lulu, I mean, she's a little girl. She was in the school. You have greater people than her. But there's a sense in which the person becomes good to you and nice to you. Yeah. Just by saying, yes, Lord, I don't know even how to sing. I'm not anything. I'm like this. Oh, you are very good now. So sometimes you are surprised when the person seems to even believe in you more than you believe in your. You are justified in a way. You are sort of like good to the person, even though by legal things, you've done this before. You've done twenty of these, 35 of these, fifty of these, sixty of these. Thought he called, he justified. But it's getting even better after justify. It should have been OK, but he said and thought he justified. He glorified. It's like a joke. I mean, it's like a joke. Don't whom he justified, he glorified. It's like glory, glory, glory, glory, glorified. Hey, glory, heaven. How? Why? Justify would have been OK. How many would agreed that Justify would be OK? Justify would have been OK. Justify would have been OK if we could just go through justification. I suddenly we are seen as OK. That would have been cool. But now it says that those he justified, he glorified this is this is now going too far. How many agree this is going too far? It's too fantastic. I mean, is somebody telling a lie? Is somebody telling a lie? It's too good to be true. One day, Rick Joyner went to heaven. He had a vision and he saw a great man of God, good man of God. I've had so many problems and he met Paul, he met Jonah. He met so many people who spoke to them different things, which is biblical. It's biblical because in the Bible Jesus met with Elijah and Moses and talked to them. It's biblical to meet people who are dead, wine, ancient patriarchs and whatever. There's nothing wrong with that. As it was going, he pointed to a man sitting in a throne, and he said, do you know that man? And he immediately recognized him. He was a great, he said, evangelist. I don't think he was an evangelist, but he said he was a great evangelist. And this man has had so many problems before he died. He was glorified up in the throne. And then he wanted to go and talk to him. I said no, no, no I cannot talk to him and he said he said I wanted, I just wanted you to see where he was, where he is. I just wanted you to see where he is in glory. I just want you to see because you see those whom he he foreknew. He destined them to be like his Son so that they will be upgraded. Do you understand to be upgraded? Yes, they are Jesus brothers. Then with that plan decided to call and when he called he those who responded to the call decided to justify. So that's even they say yes they are justified that those who he justify is the abernath of. I think he's a bit too much. What a call. He decided to glorify them. I tell you that is why people have not understood when you say many are called. People don't understand when you say many, many are called. God has called you. God has called many people. It's not a small thing. One day, give me your book. This book. Yeah. Sorry for what I'm going to do. One day I went to preach somewhere. When I finished preaching, Beautiful message on loyalty. The assistant pastor of the church, he came to the senior pastor and he held the book loyalty. He said this. He's not a book because he was, he's very educated. He's a very educated. He was an assistant pastor, very educated. He had the book. I said I've read many books. He's not a book. Then he threw the book on the ground and then he stamped his stamp. He stamped on the loyalty and his loyalty stamp on it. He stamped on it with his leg like that. Yeah, practically he said this is rubbish. It's not a book. He threw it down in front of the past. You see, many people receive wonderful gifts, but this is how they like this one is happening. Practically, they have a message, a word, a gift, a book, a call, and they just say this is not. And he treated in front of the pastor. The pastor was telling me a few days ago. He was. He has told me before, but he described it again. He said he uses his step. This is not a book. Yeah, yeah. You've got to be careful what you do with the gifts that God gives you. Some of you are planning to throw it to the floor. That's not a book. Because he was somebody who had been to the university and he was even qualified to teach in the university. Yeah. This is not a book. Stamp on it. Stamp on it again. Yeah. This is what we do to the core and the good things that God gives to us. Yeah, So I hope you realize that to be called. It's not a small thing. What's your name, my dear Regina? It's not a small thing. How many are going to say yes, Lord? Amen. Are you excited about this column? How many? I've had enough to go home already. You can. How many realize that? I mean, if you just go home now, it's OK. Yeah, it's amazing. It's in the Bible. It's right there now. Yeah. Is it not? Amazing. I'll tell you a vision and then we'll take our coffee break. Is your coffee ready? Is it ready? OK. Don't go out. Don't move. One day I had a vision, A dream. A vision. In the vision I saw a man of God. Then I saw a huge building that he had built or that had been built, that he was the one in the vision. Fantastic. It was so glorious that it had towers and arches and different things and it was wonderful. And this person was acclaimed. Then as I was looking at it, Sammy said, look, look a little closer. Look closely at the building. See what is the building? As I looked at the building from above, you could only see it from above. From above it looked different. What has been built with the towers using very complex designs. What has been built? One side looked like male genitalia. Yeah, it was like the tower was a male genital. When you see it, I said look at it close and say, ah, what is that? And then another side of it looked like female genitalia. It's like, what a shock. Yeah, the building got complicated things. So what is this? At first I didn't, but I said I was talking. Look, but that is a, that is a vulva, that's a vagina. It's like what? And then look at the CUJA professor. So it's like from heaven. It's like the president has actually made a pornographic castle. That is how I haven't seen it. That's how it looks like from heaven. It's like you what you are doing is something. And then the Holy Spirit said to me, when you are doing something that is great, but if not the Holy Spirit, this is what you built, you will be building, people will be praising, but I've happened to say, look at you have built a tower. Look at the tower, look at the tower. Look at what they are doing. Horrible. People are clapping, people are clapping. That is what you see. It's easy. You didn't see the pattern from above. One day I took her from the New Jersey airport. I mean, New Jersey, very complex airport. Every time I go there, it's like what confused place is this New Jersey, Newark, Newark Airport. When I flew up during the day one day and I looked down, I was amazed from up. You see how it is designed. It's a very beautiful design. Circle goes here, 1 circle goes here, 1 circle goes very symmetrical, perfect. I realized that I can never see that way from the ground. In fact, I always remember that in looking at Newark Airport, I said what a beautiful airport, But if you go to it, you cannot suggest something small. So you see, if you don't follow the sweet influence of the Spirit and you follow another influence, a witchcraft influence, whether it's a man or a woman or a Christian or a pastor or this or whatever, you may think I'm building my beautiful life, but from above what you are building is so ugly and so obnoxious. God really allow you to build. The angels will be watching. You'll be adding blocks. This tower. Do you know what you are building and you are building a tunnel. Do you understand which has a kind of there was arches and different. Oh no. What are you doing to your life? What are you doing with your life? What are you building? What are you doing? What does it look like from heaven? How does God see it from above? You see, many, many, many things are acceptable and pleasing to men. Men will clap for you, but God is not clapping. God is not clapping. People are clapping, but God is not clapping. People are praising that God is not praising. People are saying you are doing well, that God is not impressed. In fact, if you would take you up OK in a near. I was amazed. No, I mean, I don't care that ever. I'm such a big shit. And it was a bit clearly and the things was in callous white, red. Yeah. So you see, you wouldn't easily see. Yeah, the best I can liken it to be like Disneyland for those palaces, something like that. So I was like, look close, closer. Then I saw the act. I said what is this? I will tell you many times our lives we think we are just taking a decent course. Many times with our lives we think we are just taking a normal course. Many times the disobedience to God is like, just like some kind of this is just something normal, natural, but actually it's obnoxious and horrible for the God who has done so much for you, for the God who has for known you, pretesting you, then he called you and then planned to justify you and then glorify somebody like you for you to set it aside and to build something. And people will be praising you now. That is why I've always been afraid of buildings. Yeah, projects, people praising you. You are doing well. This is nice. This is great. This is good. Oh, you are a man of God. All those type of praises. There's a song that I heard. Is God happy with our praise? Did you know how to say that, Sir? Is God really happy with our You know how to sing it sing. What if God is unhappy with our praise? What if He is not pleased with the words we say? What if He takes away His love and His spirit from our birth? What if God is unhappy with our praise? Verse 2 What if God is unhappy with the way we live? What if he is not pleased with the way we give? What if he takes away his love and his spirit from above? What if God is unhappy with the way we live? We must change the way we walk. We must change the way we talk. We must live a life that's pleasing to our King. We must read God's holy Word and let His praises be heard. Lord, just be pleased with our praise. Listen, when God showed me that vision, I was amazed because the person that I saw in the vision gives you a picture of decency and honor. Yeah. And I realized that I wouldn't associate the two. In fact, initially I did not even associate the two. So I don't know why this person is around in this this dream. What is he doing here? It's like you don't have anything here. You see your decent life, your goody, goody life. You understand you're being good and being nice and being great. If you were to see it from above, you see that this thing that I'm building for myself is on earth. People will call you the biggest profane. What profane architects? I mean, they will say you are based, you are like you are the based you are, you are. You are. You are, you are perfected. You are, you are. I mean you are. There's something wrong with you say cut and you make a tower. It's like instead of the tower just having a roof, you you turn it into a, what do you call it, glance. No, no. So acceptable it cannot work. Is it fantastic? Sit down everybody. So we are blessed, Amen. And we are going to take our first break now. We are, we are already good to go. How many are going to build a beautiful pornographic tower of your life for God? Is it not fantastic? And what you are doing, Can you imagine arriving in heaven and God shows you what you built. This is what you built. This is what you did. We were watching from heaven and say, ah, what is the guy doing? What is he doing? And everybody sees as decent, nice, good, clean, perfect. What a shock. This was nuclear. Nuclear. Waves, waves of shocks. Waves. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What if God is not happy with my good Mr. Unrable, Mrs. Madam Decent Missus, Goodness Missus Wesley girls perfecto Hey lift pure and what? Right, wrong. Speak true. Follow the king. Which king? Wow, May God help us and give us grace in Jesus name, all right.
