Welcome to track number one is Mission America. Wow. All right. It's great to see you all again. Tell your neighbor, tell your neighbor if you if you are not happy, there may be a problem with you. All right. Amen. All right. Give me, give me volume up here. I can't hear myself well. All right. OK. I I can't hear myself very well. Let us pray. Father, thank you for your blessing.

Please be seated. Wonderful too. Much. Well it is a blessing to be here with you and your in your winter. Your cold weather, where I'm coming from is hot, very hot and I can see that you are freezing, but I, I believe you are not freezing in your hearts. Your hearts are on fire for the Lord. Amen. So this, this camp that we are having is not a healing Jesus. What do we call it The last time Healing Jesus conference. This one is a camp OK so there's a difference. The aim of the meeting is different. When I came here the last time the aim was to help to raise support for healing Jesus campaign. This time I'm not here to raise support for healing Jesus campaign. Although I will take offerings, but, but I, we are here for what I call mission America, Amen. And mission America means mission North America and South America. Anything that is America, any America, Central America, there's a new America, also old America. There must be, there must be something like that. All right. So there must be missions, missions to all these places. You know, I just came from, where did I come from? Denmark. And I saw a pastor, a friend of mine who was in Calvary Rd. When I was also there and he has been there for 20 years, building the church there. And I was greatly touched by the work that he has done and forced to do in that very cold, spiritually cold place where less than 1% point something percent of people believe in God. Yeah, but I was touched because I realized that everybody can be a missionary and do something for God with your life when you are here, you know, and you can also come and go without doing your mission. You understand now the group that I belong to, you know, we all. He was one of the, he was used to saying also, and he used to play, I don't know if he played this, but he used to sing. He was one of the leaders. But out of all that group of fellowship, quite a number of us became pastors of churches, you know, and some didn't become pastors, but a lot, a lot of us became pastors. And we are all older now. Everybody is in their 50s and when you are in your 50s you are getting nearer to the end of your life because there is a strong punishment in the world. Do you see for those of us who are here, because in the days of Adam, Adam and Eve, all the people, Adam, Seth, Adam had Cain and Abel, but Cain killed Abel. And then you know, Cain was also later killed by Lamech if you read a bit around. And we had Seth, and then we had Enos, and then Lamech, Jared, Mithusail, Enoch, Mithusala, and then Noah. Noah was probably alive. Noah probably met Adam. Yeah, from the age, because all of them lived for about 1000 years. Because Adam died about 920 something. Yes. Lamech, all of them. When you read Genesis, it gives their age, but it gives two things. It gives the age at which they gave. They had their child and they all had their children around 100 and 5100 and 52152 years old. And then they had a child and then they lived another 800 years and then did 900 and something. Then they were dead. So no one lived above 1000 because God had told Adam that in the day that you eat this, you will die. And with God a day is as 1000 years. So within 1000 years, everybody was dead. No one, no one lived, no one lived beyond 1000 years. So you'll find out that after that, after that lives were even shortened. The more sin was going on in the world, the more God became angry with human beings and decided to either kill them or make them die quickly so that they wouldn't be there. You, you and death. Death is a blessing sometimes, you know, many times, because if, if certain people were living longer and longer, like Hitler and Stalin, and all these people were still alive and would live for another 400 years and ever be released from prison, you know, the whole world would be in danger. So life was shortened because of the corruption, you know, and God said I would, I don't, I don't want these people to live long. So it's short. Don't live long, you know? And it became 120 years and then it became 70. I mean, we were never supposed to die around the time that we, we die now. Yeah, we're going to live. We're going to live and live and live and live. Our first childhood have been 100 and 21130. Yeah. That you go for outdooring and you'll be fresh. You'll still be fresh when you're 100 years old. Yeah. This was God's plan, you know. But it is not like that anymore. Now, even by the time you are 30, you see that some people are looking old by the age of 30. Yeah. And by the time you get to like 40, you can see that you are you are looking tired. And when you are with your husband or your wife, you don't notice that either of you are getting are changing. But if you meet somebody you haven't seen for a long time, he's usually shocked when he sees you. It's usually shocked, but he can't say this is oh, why I hope you are not streaming, not streaming, OK. Amen. So you are you are usually surprised when you when you the person sees you. So. Oh, why? What is? What is wrong? But he doesn't say it is Oh. Hi, it's a long. Time because you look so different because you are changing, but you don't notice because you are with yourself. So husbands and wives rarely even feel that their spouses have changed, you know, so you don't have to even worry so much that he's looking for somebody else. He hasn't noticed that you have changed. You get what I'm saying? Yeah. There's no cause for alarm. We are. We are used to you as you are. Are you with me? Yeah. So in this camp, I want you to really take what I'm saying very, very seriously because I believe that our lives actually depend on what I'm going to share with you. Yeah, your lives actually depend on it. And I believe that the Holy Spirit impress upon me to come here to have a camp. Amen. So I'm glad for those of you who are able to come in the in the winter, in the snow, and all through all the difficulties, your jobs and all the things that you you struggled with to be able to get here. But I want you to really listen carefully, because there's some people the Bible says, describes, and it says, and they, they come unto thee as the people cometh. Do you, do you say, thou son of man, the children of thy people still are talking against thee by the walls and the doors of the houses, And speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you. And here, what is the word that cometh from the Lord? The people come and say, Let let us go and hear the word that cometh from the Lord. You see, are you there? And then and they come unto. Thee. As the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people, and they hear thy words. Are you listening? Take it off the screen. Take it off the screen, and they hear thy words. But they will not do them. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. You see. And lo, thou art unto them as a very lovely song of one that has a pleasant voice. You see, you are like you are like, it's like something funny that is being said. You get it. And like of one that has a pleasant voice and that can play well on an instrument. For they hear thy words, but they do them not. Wow, this is this is a description because there is nothing new under the sun. We have always had people who come this, this. And they come unto thee as the people cometh, and they sit before thee as my people. They will come, and they will sit, and they will hear thy words. For with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goeth after their covetousness. That is the heart of the people is after something else, you see. And to be a judge, to be a judge, you know, at first I've ever thought much of judges till a few years ago when I started to see understand what a judge, what the, what the work of a judge is a judge. That. Is why judges are considered as very great people, because it's not easy to be a judge because when the person is sitting there with his suit looking very dignified and speaking very. Nicely, you'll be convinced that the evidence is showing something completely different, that the person is a madra, or the person has done this, this and that. Like Hitler when Hitler. Came into power, people supported him, the church endorsed him. The Church of God endorsed Hitler, you see. But when everything was finished, then we saw he caused the deaths of 55 million people, 55 million people died because of him from 1939 to 1945. Fifty 5 million people. So then you begin to see that even Hitler was probably not even just an ordinary man. He may have been a parahuman or a hybrid, a man demon. Yeah, because we have different levels of demon infestation of of people of human beings. Demons really love to be in human beings or animals. A lot of animals are are demon, demon, demon infested. That's why you must always pray before you eat. This is being a demon infested chicken that you are eating. Yeah. The demon have been in this chicken for a long time. And you think it's an ordinary chicken. Are you with me? So there are different levels by which the evil spirits can enter people. Some are just oppressed by devils. Like the Bible says Jesus went about healing all that were oppressed of the devil. Some people are just oppressed. But then some people are possessed. And the madman of Gadara was possessed. He was possessed with the devil, you see, and then there's yet a higher level where the person is not possessed, but the person himself is a para devil, is a para human is a combination of yeah, hybrid, where the devil you know, like the Bible tells us the sons of God came into the women, had sex with them and gave birth. To. Men of renown Giants 3 words are used there. Gibberems which were people that fight wars and then Nephilims which are the fallen ones. Nephilim means to fall and then sins, which are what the Bible calls men of renown. Some of the very men, great men that we know are men of and they are not really human. That's why they can talk the way they do. You know, they really convince people and lead masses, care. They have no feelings and that kind of thing. So we have levels of demon presence and some of the people that we deal with, they are not human. That's why Babo always warns you. You know he says be careful with strangers or some have entertained angels, including fallen angels. Anna W that we have good angels and bad angels before you realize we are entertaining a very bad Angel in your house. What a shock. Are you listening to me? So what I'm saying is to you that you know, be careful, because it says Thou Art unto Them has a very lovely song. And of one that has a pleasant voice and that can play well. For they will. Hear thy words, but they will not do them. They will hear thy words, but they will not do them. So I want you to make yourself people that will not fulfill this scripture, who are bent on hearing the words but will never do. What is being said must be done. Amen. Now. Mission America All right, you can be putting your scriptures on now if you want to. But when we talk about Mission America, we need to look into the book of Matthew, and then we begin to see wonderful things there. Matthew chapter 5. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt hath lost its savour or his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the foot of men. Amen. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on the hell cannot be hid. But let's look at the salt. OK? What does salt do? How important is salt? Everybody here is the salt of the earth. And you must always consider your calling and your ministry in the in the context of thinking of your ministry as salt. Because if you look at the plenty of food that we eat like a big plate, do you see how much of that food is salt? Very small amount. So what it means is that your ministry is something very small. But even though it is small, it. Does make a difference? Do you see, it does make a, it does make a difference. Like the church that I just visited in in Denmark. It's not a very big church. But as I sat there, I appreciated the work that this person has done. I tell you, because if you have been in the ministry, you will appreciate if somebody is able to build a church, any church. It makes a difference. And a lot of people testified how they had been blessed in the Czech for 20 years. Somebody staying in this cold place doing something. Are you with me? Yeah. So your. Ministry is like salt, which is why a lot of people discard it. It's like something small that you do, but if that small thing that you're supposed. To do you don't do that small thing, you become useless. And the Bible says that you are you. You must be thrown away. There's no need of you anymore. If that small thing that you are supposed to do you, you don't do, then you think you are useless. You are useless to to to the person. You are useless to God. You are useless for the purpose for which you are there, even though it's going to be a small thing. Look, Lighthouse is not any big church. But we we, we are important because we are as important as salt. And if that small salt is. Not in the food then there is going to be a problem and therefore there will be no need for a Lighthouse Chapel International. When I came to start this church here, I preached 7 reasons why Lighthouse Chapel must be in America. That was the first message I preached in America in Lighthouse for those who were here all right and there is a reason for us being here. Almost all the people who work with me do something small, but that small thing that they do is is very important but. If they cease to. Do that particular small thing. I don't need them. If Ida is singing and she Can't Sing, I don't honestly need her because she's not my girlfriend. I don't need her for anything. Yeah, I don't need her for anything. I don't need her to do anything. For everything I can do for myself, I can do it for myself. I don't need anybody to help me. Yeah, so if she can sing, no, I don't need it. There's no need for her to be around. And you see, that's how everybody's music. It's like something small. But I'm coming to preach. I don't need a singer. I can preach. I have been preaching where I don't have all my camps. You can listen. There's nobody nobody sings any song. I can do the camp without somebody singing. So if you cannot sing, then I stop. That's the point. You are. I'm sorry. You just cancel. There's no need for you anymore. This is this is, this is how it is. And you 2 are like that. And maybe you and you needed to start a church and have 60 members. What you may say, what is the use of 60 members? What is the use when I have a church with 100 members or when I have a church with 40 members? I can see the Bishop has done a crusade. A lot of people have come. So when I have a church and I have 35 people or 40 people, what is the use? Oh really? So if you can't do that, then you must be hearing the voice of God. That God may be saying that OK, OK, OK, since it's a problem or whatever the reason is, I don't need you anymore. I don't need you anymore. I can't have the. I can't sponsor you. I can't help you. I can't do whatever. Bye. And that's the end of you and that's the end of the church. And that's the end of ministry. Yeah, You see so. While we are here for. A reason and I don't know if any of the founders of this church are around not you have your notes from the first church service 7 reasons why lighthouse must be here perhaps we should go for those seven reasons and ask ourselves whether we are fulfilling those seven reasons yeah should in. Case God. We may be looking at her to say, you know. You know, you, these people, I had a very nice plan. I needed you for something. So since it seems it's a problem and now the preaching and all these things is like a song to you, then I don't need you. Bye. Yeah. Everybody's work. I tell you, when you do a lot, it's small. Let's say, let's take even the people you think are are great, the people you think are great. I'll, I'll just mention three. Let's take TD Jakes and some, most of you think he's a great man of God. The places that I have been to in doing crusades, nobody knows him there. Yes, nobody. Nobody knows. Nobody. Knows him there. He may be great in in Dallas and great on your American scene and more Americans, but if the world was made of 100 people, only 5 would be Americans. It's a very small part of the world. And also this American way of preaching this, it doesn't go easily with interpretation. Like when you. You can't say God is going to do this. Then the interpreter will say how will he say it in whatever it it doesn't work that way. It's just, it's just not. It's just, it doesn't. Throw that way because when you when you translate it, you know the the translator has to have a way of also flowing with the sing song type of preaching. It's not like that. Yeah, I mean, I know places where he's been to where there was interpreter. It didn't work that way. It didn't work at all like the way it works here like how you see him flowing with an American kind of environment. It didn't work translating it into because you have to. Pause. And the person who who say in his own way, yeah. So even though he's he's great, really, when you look look at the overall picture, he's very small. If you take Monkey Reinhard, Monkey, he's great and and all that, but he's hardly known in America and he's hardly known anywhere. In the world, yeah, a few people know him and the Crusades he used to hold in Africa. Anywhere we're going to have a crusade. One of the things we look out for is whether Bonke has been there and and if he was there, when was he there? Because there's no point in going to evangelize places which have been evangelized over and over and over again. So that's one of the reasons why there are certain places we don't even bother to go to because it's what's the point. We are trying to evangelize places that have not been evangelized. So our aim is evangelism. So we know we have we have the list of every crusade Monkey has ever had and all the dates as part of our research that we do before we we choose a place for a crusade. And most of. The places that he has ever been, that even we have ever been to before. He was there 20 years, 25 years ago. Yeah, 30 years and finished. The people who are born, I don't know. They don't know. When I'm preaching, I give this example. Great man of God, I realize I have to stop giving those exams. So a great man like Bunker said, you know, Bunker, we don't know. We don't know who you are talking about. Benny Hin is also becoming like that. Now I go to a place I said, do you know Benny Hin? They'll all be looking at me. You know, I would say Mali. Do you know Benny Hin? Don't know Benny Hin. Mali and even here in America, a lot of you don't know Benihin. You don't know the Benihin that I knew. Yeah, the Benihin that I knew, I mean, I still know. But the Benihin that we that some of us were introduced to is not what is not what we are having now. It's a completely different so every I'm just trying to explain to you that everybody is like salt. Your contribution to the food we are eating is very small. That is my point. Is the point clear? So there is nothing like a small, a church that is too small. Did you hear? And I said there is nothing like a church that is too small. There's nothing like that. It's a demonic thought. Did you hear me? I said It's a demonic thought that there is a church that this church is. Too small. It's nothing like that. Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there. That is what Jesus told us. Where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there. And so there must be missions. There must be missions in America in Jesus name, and it must. Not be a song to you. It must not be a pleasant. Voice to you. So all Bishop, he's coming to make us laugh and he'll mention we're penis vagina and then we'll all be laughing. The as of Bishop, we know him As for he says everything. We are waiting to see what he's going to say this. Time. No, that is not the right thing. There must be missions and that is your relevance, your relevance. Is. Finished when there is no mission I'm telling you don't look at me. You see my prophetic ministry is not when I say that says the Lord, even me. I am afraid of myself when I prophecy. I don't like it at all when I prophecy because I have seen too many of them happening. Then I looked back and I realized that, oh, as someone, I was promising. I was prophesying. I didn't know I was prophesying. Yeah, many, many, many, many times I would be prophesying, but I myself was not aware that I was prophesying. And then when it started to happen, then I found out that I was professor. So if you are with me, you know, don't expect me to shiver or to have a feeling or something will happen. You know, when I went to preaching, then Mother pastor was introducing me saying, you know, he's very unassuming, this and that and that. And that's how always people do. It's like we're expecting something, you know, a certain way. So maybe you are expecting that also with prophecy, you know, but you have to be careful. You have to know how that particular prophet works. When Elijah came to see Neyman, the in Neyman the Syrian came to see Elijah. He said. I thought he would come out, he would strike his hand, he would say something like he's like go and Bath. That was his ministry. And to his surprise, he almost missed that whole prophetic word when he was told to grab back. He was said before he was expecting some wild prophetic words and move. But God is trying to give us a prophetic word today at this time. It's a prophetic word. Yeah. It's it's it's your life. How long you live depends on it. Even you're living. See, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you, when you know God and you realize that God's judgments are mostly life and death. Any time you see death, you, you must always think of God, because our lives are in his hands and you, you, you. One of the ways God passes his judgment or his decisions is to let us die. That's why death is never insignificant. No matter how you want to look at it, it's always spiritual. Death is a very spiritual thing. Your death is a spiritual thing. One day I was talking to one of our pastors who was who was sick dying. Actually, that was the last time I spoke before she died. I said to her, look, your death is a spirit. I went to have her bedroom. I said, your death is a stereotropic because the Bible says that the death of the Saints is precious in the eyes of the Lord. It's very special to God that he will withdraw you. It's like, it's like removing a player, you know, from the field. I'm sure some of you know ASEAN, Michael, ASEAN, he plays for Chelsea. He used to play for Chelsea, Ghana player. He's a a player and his his coach Mourinho, you know who who was who's coaching for them again, really liked him. All these years he liked him. But you know, recently he had to he had to, he had to send him away. And he said, look, I respect him. But his way of playing football, his way of coaching or playing the football is that everybody runs to the front to score. And everybody runs back to defend. That is. I didn't know that that's what somebody was explaining to me. Yeah. That is how he believes in playing. Everybody should run to the front. All of them come here. And when they are defending, everybody comes back. So if you are not. Strong you cannot play in that team because you run so. Much. You understand and if you are older, a little older, you get it. You won't be able to. So I think recently he sent, recently he sent one very good player when everybody was surprised, he said because that guy doesn't want to run. He wants to stand in the midfield and pass the ball. He wants to run in the middle and he passes. Because if you are a midfielder, your value is measured by your passes. When you pass the ball accurately, when you pass, this person gets it, then he can go. If you are a striker, your value is measured by when you when you hit the ball, it goes into the next. So that's how you measure the striker then not measure the midfielder, you get it. So that's this midfielder wanted to stay in the middle and be passing as he has been doing that other places, but this guy Mourinho doesn't. Want that he wants. Everybody to come to the bank. You get what I'm saying? So I forgot him. I was even telling you this story. Your relevance. Yes. So now that he's older, he's older. And he's not running as much because when they finish, they will take a play. He has run 36 kilometers in the match. They they, they do the analysis and put it on the television has run 36 kilometers. And this one has run so much. You, you run. And if you are playing for this code, you run. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Happen now. So he, he, he. Said, look, I respect Asian, I respect him, but it's like the relevance for what's his way is not there, but he really likes him and really respects him. So you see, that's how salt is and that's how you are in America and God really respects you and he really likes you. He really loves you. He respects you. You can look at the snow, you've come, you get it. Look at the weather, Look at your jobs, look at your vacations. It's a it's a sacrifice for you to be here. Come. I can see people from Canada, they come from all over. You understand God really likes. You and he really respects you, but there comes a time where you say, look, you know, I need all of them to go forward. And all of them to run back. And since you are not running back and running forward and running back, I respect you, but I. I have to. I have to let you go. Wow. So, ladies and gentlemen, you really, really, really must understand that God really likes you and wants the church in America. You know he's impressed with your efforts so far. But he seems to want all. To move forward and all to come to the back. Amen. There must be missions, there must be missions, there must be missions. We must step out now. This time I want to make it clear. You see, when we feed you with the Word and the words of God, we are not expecting you to tell us that it was a lovely song. What do you mean by that? You. You take me to be a singer? No. Neither are we expecting to hear that. That is a good a good something, No? We are expecting missions, Amen. And when we feed our chickens and we feed our cows, we water our mango trees, we are expecting fruits from these trees. And anything that we get that is that is not fruit from these trees, we are not happy. Now, I want to invite everybody to come with me. Well, I don't know if I'm going to go there again, but if I'm not going to, you go to Guinea. What is in Guinea? That is not anywhere else in Guinea. Is anybody here from Guinea? Yeah. You see, there's no one here from Guinea. Yeah. What is in Guinea? Is mango trees. They have so many mango trees and so many mangoes that they have mango Stew. You wouldn't, you wouldn't believe it. I have never seen mango trees like that in my life. And the house that I stayed in that we stayed in for the Crusades in one of the towns, I think it was Kindia, had these mango trees all over. And the mango trees are not tall. Before they start bearing fruits, they are not tall. They are tall. Mango trees, but these ones, they don't have to be tall, so tall to have mangoes. And right outside the room where I was staying, because I was staying in the boys quarters of a certain house, right outside there were mango trees about this high, you know, my height to the top, a little above, like this heavy lady with mangoes. Mango here, mango here, the whole trees. Amazing. I've never seen anything like that. So I thought all mango trees in Guinea are full of mangoes. Then I went to the Pastas conference and there was another mango tree. Not a single mango. Then I understood you can have no. In fact, there were. One or two mangoes on it, but maybe 2 mangoes. It was much taller than the other one, the other ones that were around the house. And I realized that there are differences. There are some mango trees, we have watered them, they have received the same rain, they have received the same input, they are in the same Guinea, but there is nothing coming out of them. And some you have fed them, watered them and they are bringing forth fruits. And I realized that I wanted to cut down the tree that was not bringing the mangoes to cut it down. It's a bad. Mango tree. Let's replace it with another mango tree. I was so. Impressed with those mango trees that I exported. 2. Seedlings from Guinea and I've planted them in my house and I hope because this is the second time I've done it. No, I always try farming because it gives a lot of revelation. The first time I planted a mango tree it didn't bear fruit. But I'm praying that these Guinean mango trees. Every day I. Come, I come on my ass. Where are my mango trees? One is the one is the I'm watching. No, I've not given up because that's about a year. A year. So I pray. And if it bears fruits, I will take pictures and show you. Yeah. So you are God's mango tree. Yeah. And you are. God has placed you in Guinea, spiritual Guinea, and is watering you. How many churches have camps? How many churches have camps like this? So camp, camp. How many churches have it like that? How many churches encourage laypeople, people who are who? Who? Work in the secular world. I encourage them to also do something for the Lord. How many churches have young people that are encouraged to rather work for God than to destroy their lives fooling around? A lot of. Parents of Christian parents, they they say, oh, let them fool around, they will be converted because we were also converted. We were fooling around like them. Later we got changed, but they may never change. So. God is expecting us to bear fruit from the Plenty messages and the Plenty preachings and camps that we have. We have held and. Why is that? Because you are receiving an look, let me tell you. In this church, perhaps? You know many of the people who are bishops pastors, they will tell you when I first started to encourage them to do the. Work of God, they did not want to do it and they did not think they were supposed to do, and they felt that I was forcing them. A lot of people thought I was forcing things on them. Yeah. He knows I will give him as an example. So he has offered himself Bishop Joel himself, yes. He thought that I was forcing him because I'm encouraging him and he said maybe you are here to and spiritually you are saying in your heart that you are forcing us to become pastors when we have no plan. We are here as IT consultants. We are here as we are doing our degrees, we are in our schools. We are trying to work. We are forcing us to do something that we are. We, we want to be Christians. We just want to be Christians. You see, you want to be a Christian and God wants you to be what He has called you to be, Why He has blessed you, why He has protected you, why he has loved you, why He has. Shown you kindness and brought you here today. There's a reason for all those good things. When God gives you his love and gives you his heart, gives you his life, his blood, of course there must be a reason. Last week Sunday after church, I took about nine people for dinner. I invited them and it was it was a mixture of people. They didn't know. I just called this person, this person, this person, and I showed them the restaurant. They should come there now. And they didn't know why when they came there also, who's here? Who's here, Who's here? Then they came the the waiter came to take the order. I said order, order, order. Anything you want. So when he had finished taking the order and he went and they were now making the food, I said well as you know, no dinner is free. No dinner is free, you know. There must be a reason why I have brought you here for dinner. Look at an expensive place like this. Would I just come and spend money like that? There must be a purpose. There must be a good reason to gather you here like this. Don't I have something important to tell you? Yes, our dinner is free. So God has laid a table for you in America. Hey, he has blessed you and he has given you green cards, American passports, artificial American accents. Locally acquired foreign accents. Some of you have given you children with genuine American accents. Hybrids, Hybrids. But no Dena is free, yes. No dena is free. No blessing of God is free. In that sense, even when Jesus died on the cross, he was expecting some response from us. He was expecting love in return for love. He was expecting your heart in in response to his heart that he has poured out for you. God so loved the world. That's why Paul wrote and said it is your reasonable service. It's reasonable to respond to God in a certain way. When you do not respond to God in a reasonable way, you become an unreasonable and wicked person. Amen. There must be missions. Amen. There must be missions. There must be the mission of your life, the mission to win souls. A certain number. I tell you, you know, because everywhere I go God speaks to me. And I tell you, whilst in Denmark, I felt the Holy Spirit was telling me, look, this man has done his best here. Hey, he has stood in this town for 20 years, fighting, building, helping, preaching, singing, ministry, No matter how many people are there. He has done a great mission, you know. And I want to say that all of us sitting here have a mission that. You could also embark on. And that after it's all said and done, we can say that yes, you, you, you did your mission, the reason why God saved you, the reason why God helped you. It may not be big so big by its salt, because I always remember that salt is testing something small. When they say we shouldn't eat salt, I don't know what we what what thought to. Do again, because the thought we are eating is very small. Now let's say we shouldn't eat that one too. You get what I'm saying? It becomes a problem, you know, because that's what changes everything. The wonderful soul that God has for us, Amen. So I pray that you will prophetically see that God is really looking for, for you to do his mission, his work. Amen. Now everybody here, how many here are pastors? Raise your hand. If you are pastors, good, put your hand down. If you are not a pastor, put your hand up. If you are not a pastor, you are not a pastor. I'm so glad you are here. I'm so glad you are here because I came to tell you that you can become a pastor. When I say a pastor, a pastor is not a rank. A pastor is not a rank. It's not a position in the church. We are not looking for positions and ranks, but we are looking for fruit bearing mango trees. In other words, I'm trying to say that everyone of you can bear fruit. Yeah, I believe so if. I can bear. Fruit. I see no reason why you cannot bear fruit. I see no. Reason why you cannot be up to today people say he's, I'm assuming you will not think that it's whatever. We were expecting this. We were expecting somebody like whatever and so on because they've they've never chosen me never for anything that's true, never. They just don't. Even afterwards, even all the years, you know, when we have had presidents, politicians, no one has ever, none of the presidents have ever felt that they should come and visit Lighthouse. True, although we are bigger than most of them, even in one church. Yes, our branches are people's headquarters, but it's just something that the person may not choose. So what I'm trying to say is that you may not look impressive. Or you may have been a very bad boy. Or a very bad. Girl, but I tell you, you know, over over the years, I've learned not to discount anybody. Yeah, one day I was going to send a missionary somewhere and we were getting ready. He was just getting ready now. Then he went to fornicate just. Before. He was about to leave just before he was about to leave. Went to sleep with somebody. So, you know, listen. So when I when, when, when I was told about it, I I said, oh, let him go, let him go. He should go for the mission. And he's doing very well. Yeah, he's doing well. He's doing well. Some of these perfect ones, you get it. We have a lecture. These perfect ones, they do nothing with their perfection. You are perfect. The perfection is not helping anybody. Yeah, your perfection. You are perfect in all ways and it hasn't helped anybody. No one has been saved through you with all your perfection and your nice things. Your everything is perfect, exactly correct, The ideal of everything. Yeah. So for me. I tell you, Jacob, I love. That's what God said. He saw I hated him. I hated the perfect guy. Time and time you hear, you see it in the Bible. God will say Jesus will give the example and man came to pray. He said, Lord, I've pasted 3 times this week and I've been fasting every week 3 times. I pay tithes. I am. I come to pray. I do everything God said. I don't. I don't like you. This guy who was beating his chest and saying. Lord have mercy on me, a Sinner. I prefer that guy. Amazing. Yeah. You know why? Maybe some people don't understand why. I'll tell you why. Look. Whether you've actually done it or not, you have done it because the Bible says whoever you see Jesus. Came to raise the standard so high that there is nobody who sort of becomes perfect anymore. There's nothing like that anymore. So whether you actually do things or you don't do them, it comes almost to the same thing. It's only when people know what you've done that the people don't receive you. Yes, but if it is looking at a woman to lust after her in in your eyes, then even people commit fornication while they are preaching some of the fastest. Are you there? Are you still around? I hope my preaching is not like a song to you. Please don't let it be like a song. It's like, it's like we are listening to a song. So this is a nice song, no? And those of you who are pastors, do not let it be that people under you will never go on a mission because you see anybody here who is a pastor, who has a church. That church is your mission. You have already embarked on a mission. You see, like me, so have I been to any country before to start a church? I haven't been to any country. I was in Ghana, but that was my mission, my mission. I'm on a mission. You know, but that's not the last mission. If it's the last mission, then there's no point anymore. You can say by mine some of the missions are going to be missions that are done by the people you inspire. That's why I've been inspiring people to be on the mission since. I myself have been on a mission. So I don't want pastors to prevent people and inhibit people from being on a mission. Don't think to yourself that, oh, because I was here, I'm here in America, I don't have the moral right or moral whatever to know then. I don't have the moral right to send, say to somebody, go to Nicaragua or go to Miami or go to Guinea or whatever it was then. I'm also, I've been in Ghana, I've never gone out of Ghana. Then you can say that. How can I send? Somebody to do something I myself am not prepared to do. So when you do that, you are killing. So sometimes you see that the pastor, through intimidation and mental obstruction, will hinder young people and others under him from doing the work of God out of a guilt which you should not even have, shouldn't even have that guilt in you because you are on your mission. And you see, our mission is from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria and to the outermost parts of the earth. And if you want to know when a ministry is going to die, you'd better watch the ministry go in the four phases from Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem. Then it is dead. If you want Lighthouse to die, then you have to watch Lighthouse. Go from Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem. And we will be finished. We wouldn't be here. When I flew to America in 1994 on a mission, I had never been here before and Doctor Nosh came to pick me from JFK in his two door second hand car. Yeah, and drove me from John F Kennedy Airport to his house in New Jersey. I've never been here before. I can remember as it was yesterday. So this is Verrazano Bridge. This is this, this is that. And we were driving through. I've never been here before because the ministry is not from Colegono to Colegono to Colegono to Colegono. Otherwise we'll be dead by now. We'll be finished. If your mission does not continue to go on to the next place, your ministry starts to die. I'm telling you many of the Great American ministries which are shriveling today. Are shriveling and becoming nothing. Right before our eyes. It's because their ministry has gone from Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem and finally to Jerusalem, which is down, down, down, down. I'm telling you that is how to kill yourself. If you want to know how to commit ministerial suicide, then plan the four phases of your ministry. From Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem. When I came to America and I stood here boldly in Manhattan on that 43rd floor, what is it? 40 3rd St. up at the top in that building, a small room, I was trying to give life. Is it to continue? Because God moves, God moves, the Spirit moves when you stay stagnant. And you see, movement is very important even for health. That's why all these fitness things have come, because movement is very important to prevent you from dying prematurely. So when you do not move, you die. That is why I came to America. That's what I used to discuss with Pastor Joel. I said please, you have to go to America. You have to go to America. I want you to go. It is nice what we are doing in England. We had a nice church. He was the assistant Bishop. Joel was the assistant pastor to Bishop Richard. We have two pastors, Pastor Richard and Joel. Mr. Richard was a senior and Joel was the second person there. It was like he was like somebody who was just around Bishop Richard and the church wasn't very big. We were in Tustin Estate Community Center. We're just, we were not even there yet. I don't know if we were even there in a small Community Center. And you see, this is the Holy Spirit was moving me. All these things that I'm doing, like as I've come here and I said Mission America, it's not the Holy Spirit is moving. It's like, you know, it's true. It's true that it's not very big or it's not very established or not whatever. But it's like, you know, you have to move and I was impressing on him, said Joey. You have to go this and follow him with a train. I was like a dog following a master, talking to him from tube to tube, train to train, train station to train station. And you can sense it. You see spiritual things, they are, you can feel it. It's like the person is irritated and. Feels about pressurizing him for something. Why I was pressurizing him? Because the Holy Spirit was also pressurizing me. And in the end, he didn't come. He came. Later he came later, he came later. He had a good job in England. He was selling water, he was selling water. He was a salesman for a water company. What is the name of that company? Huh. Buxton Springs. English Water. Buxton Springs. I am encouraging. You to to. Go forward. And you feel that I'm trying to take something from you. You know. Many of you in America, you have behaved like I'm taking something from you, like I'm trying to take your security, I'm trying to take your great America, your great prosperity. I said I'm taking something from. That's why a lot of you have not moved. It's not. Bad. It's one inch, one inch. You will not do it even from here to here, from here to here. You know, I was speaking to this pastor in Denmark. He was telling me, he said look, even to get people to move from within Scandinavia to just from Denmark to another city so that they would do that. They don't want to do it. They don't want to do it within just the same. Not that from here to the darkest. Part of some jungle. They don't want to go. They don't want to if you want to. Die spiritually or ministerially. Then you can follow Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem. When? I tried to start a church in America. Bishop Joel was very slow to respond and I told Bishop Eddie Sally go to America. And so he. Came here to live here for one year. He lived in America for one year whilst we were waiting for brother Joel to for that. Yeah, it's true. There must be history. Yeah, and that's what I'm saying. Look as if you're trying to destroy somebody's stability. Now I'm doing well in the UK. You know, I have my British passport. I'm OK here and no one is threatening me. Everything is OK. I've got a stable job. I'm selling water, children are going. To school I've given birth. How many have you given birth to in England? One. Yeah. Just one child. We cannot move. Some of you don't have a child, you're not prepared to go. And you have so many in this church. Books. Books are written. You know, I when I was when I was in Denmark, I met a pastor. He told me, he said, Bishop, you don't know. He said, look, your books are manuals for us. We use it as manuals. Yeah. Another Bishop of a very large church. He called Bishop Saki. He told him come and speak to my people, he told. Bishop Saki, that look. You. You don't know the effect of this yourself. I make pastors from all over the world. The same day is a Bishop in Ghana who teaches about loyalty, he said. If he didn't come to do anything in this. World is enough. That loyalty, this thing that he has brought, it is enough. The whole world that is his life, that's all that he's brought into this world. We have things you have things you can do. Fruits you can bear, die, dance. Guidance manuals and you examples, you sit down and you look and it's like, wow, wow. It's like somebody wants to spoil your life. No, I always remember the story, this guy said. I don't know if I remember the real story, but it was like his sons, a man who had three or four sons. And then the sons ran away. They went to a Riverside. They were playing, they went in a boat and then the water took them away and they went down the river and they went to stay with some honey bowels and some wild villain. They used to live in this huge mansion with their father, but one of their sons didn't go with them. So the father was very worried about his children and it was too dangerous to rescue them. So many, many months later and these people got there, he decided to send his the last son to try to see if he could rescue the other boys who had gone when they got there. When this guy got in the boat and he went, father was to try your best to see if you can get this is a boat, it will work, it can come back. When he got there, he was amazed the son. There were three of them. One had married one of the natives there. Yeah, I thought marry one of the natives. Yeah, another was another was had made a heart and was living. Another had gone hunting. So he tried to meet with them, to talk with them. You know what the guy told him. The guy said you are jealous of my house. I mean the the guy in the heart said you are jealous of my house, my heart you are jealous of me. The other one had find this villager. They also are disturbing that they are very happy here and they explained. We said look where we come from, this is not how we are. We are not happy, we are not big savages. The guy's father turned on him like you are jealous of us. You want something from us whenever you go back. At the point they became antagonistic, the guy had to take his boat and sit in his empty boat and and go back. The guy said you are, you are jealous of my, of this, of how I am. And that's how I feel many times when I'm preaching. I feel as if people feel either am I jealous of what they are, what they have. That's how I felt with Bishop Joel. It's like, am I jealous of his water company, of his water job and all these things? Yeah. Look at the big. Big, big ministries that we have in America, you watch some of them, they're shriveling like this and becoming nothing. But there are places in the world, if they had gone there, they would have received them like Jesus Christ himself. In fact, one of them I gave themselves. I said that there is nobody like this man. Who, if he were to step here, here, here, would be received like Jesus Christ himself? But. No, from Jerusalem to Jerusalem to Jerusalem and finally to Jerusalem and finish, in fact, the healing revival that came to America in 19 after the Second World War 1945. There were several, if I can read the names to you, several people. Very few of them. Persisted beyond 1952. And the few one or two that persisted, I'll mention their names because you know them. TL Osborne, Maurice Cerullo The people who went out of America, you know them because they came out of America. The others you don't know because they from Jerusalem, went to Jerusalem to Jerusalem. These guys, you know them because Tia Osborne sat in the boat and came to Ghana. I can show you Tia Osborne in Ghana before independence or just after independence, Ghana did not have a harbor. When you come with a ship, Canus come to the ship. They show the film Canus come to the ship and offload the things into the canoe because we were yet to build a harbor. And you bring all the things to Accra. Fantastic. And that's where he went to Evangeline, to Philippines, to Nigeria. He showed how Nigeria they were 13 themselves and so voodoo and so many things in Nigeria, so many films. Philippines here, here all over. That's how you know TL Osborne, because he went, continued. Going So what I'm saying to you here in America is that, look, we thank God. I thank God for Pastor Francis. I can't see where he is, but I thank God that he went to, what is that place? Las Vegas. He's doing a mission there. I thank God for Kodrowenko went to Memphis and David who went to Minneapolis and so on and so forth, and Patrick in Atlanta and everybody spread out. From the northeast, you know. These are missions. These are real missions. They are not, they are not missionless people. Now, that's not the end. Because you see, there's always the next group and there's the next group, and the next group comes from the from the leader and the leaders. There must be missions. Jerusalem, Judea. Then there must be Samaria. Yes. Latin America, South America, Caribbean. There must be. Where we go, we help, we build churches. It's different from crusades. And you must, you must. You must. You must accept to go. You know, Francis and Caroline, they were, that's Caroline here. They were settled in New York as specialists, 2 specialists receiving specialist dollars, two of them. They were very stable then. You know, because at different times I've come here, I'm always encouraging. You know, that's my ministry, that's my call. When you see me, I will always. Encourage you to work for God and you will thank me when they give you your gold and so on in heaven. Make sure you bring me some small percentage. Yeah. Hallelujah. There must be missions. Yeah, there must be missions beyond what we have done. There must be missions from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria, to the uttermost parts of the earth that you have to overcome inertia. You have to overcome fear. You have to overcome many things so that you can bear fruits that are befitting and correspond to the blessing that God has given to you. You got it. American passport that you are holding. American passport. You have given up so much to be American, including telling giving up the truth. It's true. Amen. Now, when the Holy Spirit is in you, you will become intensely missionary oriented because the Holy Spirit is the one who inspires us to go on missions. Amen. Now that is not the same as leaving the church. I think I should make that point clear. Or taking the church. Yes, there are different. Things. Amen. Because there are always people like that, all right? And that is something that we are not encouraging is the mild way of saying it. But the real way is to say that we are greatly opposed and antagonistic to such things, and you will spark off a war when you try, because it takes a lot. You know, I've been on a plane since whenever coming here, when I told my wife that I don't know. This time I've now reached Chicago. I'm from Chet service to here on Sunday, Chet service in their time. So everybody's telling me you have to rest, you have to relax because I've not been feeling so well at that point. You have to take your time. You have to take a break. You have to do this as I've been coming here. It's not also just for nothing. Yeah, it's not a. Song. Yeah. So I want you to really listen to what I'm going to say. So starting a church or going ahead, and I'm giving this responsibility to the pastors. The pastors here, those of you who are here don't think that I don't even know the towns that are in America and the countries that are in South America. I'm expecting the pastors to know instead of sitting there just feeding your people, encourage them. There must be missions. Yeah. You see, some of you, if somebody else had been your pastor, you would not have become a pastor. You know that? You know that. And the same kindness that has been shown to you that has allowed you to become a minister, you must show the same kindness to others by encouraging them, telling them better. No one is perfect. Try to do something for God once you have the chance. Can I have an Amen from somebody? So pastors, please, you must allow Amen, allow people to do well. Amen. Now. Leaving a church, I just want to say start with this. Leaving a church and going ahead with you need to go out. We'll give you a break shortly, very soon. Are there people outside or let them come in? Now I just want to give this as a background. This is just an important background. The Holy Spirit is the one who inspires us to be missionary minded, but another spirit inspires us to leave the church and to break away. So I want you to know because you can't see spirits, but from the Bible we can know what spirit it is. So the first spirit that works in people who break away from churches is the spirit of Lucifer. Why do I say that? Because in Isaiah 14, the the Bible says Lucifer said, I will ascend, I will exalt my throne, I will ascend above the height. I'll be like the most high. Now you'll notice that these people when they want to leave the church are filled with the spirit of bigness. You know, it's like the person is like bigger than an ordinary pastor or bigger than an ordinary lay minister. It's almost like he is like he has a real calling and you, you are not really. Called and that's that's where you hear this. This phrase I will ascend, I will do this. I mean my calling, my calling, my call is to go higher is to go further, is to do, is to do more. Now you see, this is where we differ. Because greatness does not mean you are out of the fellowship. You know, I'll tell you something, and I didn't think I would ever tell you because it's not something that I tell people. I wasn't going to tell you, but I'll tell you because of what I'm saying. One of the greatest days of my life happened recently. Yeah, one of the greatest days of my life happened recently. Do you want to know why It was one of the greatest days of my life? Yeah. It was a day that I went to preach at Action not long ago. A few. It wasn't long ago. It must have been in December. No. Was I there? You were there. OK. Yeah. And when the Archbishop was introducing me to speak to his church, he said something that made it one of the greatest days of my whole life, for which I really thank God. Do you know what he said? He said. And it's the first time anybody has ever said anything like that to me. Yeah. No one has ever said anything like that to me. Before that, maybe I would. I would hear, yes, he said. This is one of the humble people that you can have. He introduced me as a humble person. When I heard that one, I said, me humble. Today's today. It's a great day. Yes, Yeah. Because pride is not something you can see easily. And when you are proud and you are becoming big, there are always reasons for your bigness. You don't really know why you're shouting at people, talking, saying things you don't even know. So for him to introduce me, I said that he's a humble person, very humble. I said oh God, when I went to how I thank God it's a great thing for. Somebody to think that you are humble? Yeah. And not proud. I'm telling you that was one of the greatest days of my life because the Bible says the greatest in the Kingdom is humble. It's humble like this child. So I hope it is true. Anyway, that's also a man's opinion, you know, You never know. But when the spirit of lucifies him, you almost come and say. The Lord spoke to me last week and I saw certain tense. I know that you will not understand what I'm saying, but it's because of your calling. It's a different calling from my calling. Wow. And you see they become strong, big, very powerful. And it's like, it's like you are some ordinary person. It's like they seem to have some spiritual calling which you don't even understand. Wow. Watch out for the spirit of Lucifer, because Lucifer. Listen, people, let me tell you something, people, your understanding of angels is a little limited. Angels are seen as some perfect creatures which can never disobey God. They don't have sex. They don't. All those things are not true. Angels can't. Disobey God. Otherwise why would Luciferase called the cherub the cherub that covereth, and the Bible calls him the devil and his fallen angels? If they could not fall, how did they fall? How did they fall? Angels can have sex and probably have sex. That is why the Bible says they came down on earth and when they saw that the women were beautiful in Genesis 6 verse four, they went in unto them and had sex with them and gave birth to the Nephilims, the giants, and the Eljos. You know what an? Eljo, they are all creatures. Offsprings that were the giants. Yeah. Babel said we cannot, the Angel cannot marry. So when you go to heaven, you be like the angels, which do not marry. Yeah, but you did not have sex before you married, remember? You were not married, but you were having sex. So you don't need to be married to have sex, isn't it? Yeah, you don't need to. Why do you think Angel needs to be married To have sex? Maybe it happened. You have sex with us, have marriage. That would make it heavenly. Yeah. So Lucifer. Had the opportunity Some people believe that the four living creatures that we see were actually 5 living creatures because they covered the. Throne of God and in Isaac Lucifer is called the Cheruba tawareth. Like he was supposed to be tawering but he apparently left. Yeah. And he seems to be so high and so great. Perhaps that explains why he's free. And even his punishment seems to be in such stages. And he's so limited. I mean, even though he's cast out and all that, he's in operation. As soon as Jesus came on earth, he took him up in the desert himself and tempted him properly and tested him and LED people to murder him to the end. There's a nice book that you should read. It's called The Fall of Lucifer, if you are interested. The Fall of Lucifer by Wendy Alec. Yeah, It's a very nice book if you are interested. Are you listening? Yeah. So, brothers and sisters, what was I telling? You are you going to focus the first liver, The first liver, the first breakaway was Lucifer. So since he left and since he broke away and since he departed. There have been many livers, breakaways, departees and when you do that you become one in a long list and #1 is Lucifer. Whatever is wrong with this church, we are still working on the church to make the church better. Any all our faults, we accept that we are not perfect. Please don't take us to court for not being perfect. We have admitted guilty. How many agree that we are not perfect straightaway? Fine, we are sorry and we are going to work on it and we are praying about it every day. OK. Is it a deal? So pray, but that does not mean that you should turn into Lucifer's disciple. I'm a disciple of Lucifer, that's why I'm breaking away, he started. Break aways from the house and I've joined him and you think you are mature? Yeah, watch out. So I'm just saying this because when I talk about missions, I'm not talking about breaking away. I'm talking about going deeper and doing more. I'm talking about as a church taking over Lighthouse Chapel, taking going further as Lighthouse Chapel. You see, when you start a church, you realize that you are your own. If you like, die and see if you like, try dying as a pastor of that small church that you've started. You realize. That there's a difference. Between being part of a big family and being on your own. Yeah. Recently we had one pastime. He broke away and so on. And he came. I think he realized that he. I don't know whether he realized. He can see that the horizon is coming on him. You know, the dusk is approaching, that the sun is setting. You know, came to see. He went to see people. Oh, I want to be part of your trainer, but I can't be. Michel. Doug is my friend. I cannot be. How can I be the whatever of your trainer? Go back to him. Go back there. Well back when you were, when you were breaking away. What has he done? Look, just decide I will not be a Lucifer spirit. Amen. Now another spirit, this is a very strong spirit, is the spirit of false prophecy. That is the spirit that is operating in people. Who break away from churches and spoil churches because they often claim God has spoken to me. God has spoken. Either they will come up with a dream or a vision. One pastor came up with a dream. He said he has had a dream in the dream, this and this and that. So it means that this and that. So he's living. Another pastor, he was from Nigeria, he said when he went home for holiday. And he, he was going, he met somebody, met him and told him, I see a new dimension, but it's a new dimension that I'm talking about now. But they told you, I see a new dimension, I see a new chapter, I see you going into something new. All things are passed away. Behold, all things have become new. If you want to go into a new dimension, that's the mission that I'm talking about now. This is a new, new mission, yeah. Don't try to make those of us who are faithful look as though we're there. We don't think that is why we are in the church. People who leave the church often look back. And want to somehow. In a way insult us for staying and they say you, you are a fool, you don't know they are using you, you don't know you are a child, you don't know this and that, this and that. It's like they are spiritual. Read your Bible. Clearly. When Ahab was going to die, the spirits met in heaven, and even God said, who will convince this guy to go out so that he will die? I need somebody. And a spirit came and said, I will convince him to go out, and he will fall down and he will die. And sometimes when an evil. Spirit has been sent against you. You see that he's convincing you to go out. Why? To make you fall down on your face and to die and to be destroyed. So you must be. Careful, you see the Lord. Said to him. I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. A lot of prophets have lying spirits in their mouths and they come to you with lies and they tell you that, says the law. I've had a dream. Look you. You cannot as you look at me. I am a man. I have dreams. I. Have dreams and I have visions. You see, when you have dreams and visions, like having nuclear bombs, you, you must know how to use them. Because if you don't take it tomorrow, you have a dream. The dream is telling you that hey, this and that and that. And before I realize a new thing is happening and the Bible says do not meddle with people who are giving to change, it's like suddenly they are changing something. Yeah, I am always, I am always changing everything. But there are things that are always the same. You know, there are things that don't change. What changes? The family that God has put you in doesn't change. The tree to which you belong doesn't change. The garden in which you are planting planted doesn't change. The House of which you are either the toilet or the sitting room doesn't change, or which you are. The roof or the foundation doesn't change. There are things that don't change. God has made us part of a tree, part of a branch. That doesn't change. Your prophecy does not supersede. The word of God. You have to be careful with prophecies. Don't look when you want to. That's why I don't want to speak in a, in a negative way about prophets or prophecies because I believe that I myself am a prophet to some extent. Yeah. And you can know that by the things that I have said that have come to pass. You should watch this. That's how you know a. Prophet don't say how shall you know a prophet? When he says something it comes to pass, then you know that he's a prophet. So I'm saying to you don't think you are more spiritual than the than the one who brought you up. You know, that's why I say that when the Archbishop called, when the Archbishop called me and introduced me, he said he has more. He would say he has more churches than me. He has. I don't know where that thing is. If you play, you hear that introduction. I hear they didn't record it. You'll be surprised. And the other day. Monday, I was on the golf course and he called me around 3:00 in the afternoon. I saw him call and I said, look, let me answer this call. So I spoke to him. He said, yeah, where are you? I said I'm somewhere. He said talk, talk, talk, talk, talk. He said, look, I need you to come for a meeting. I said meeting where I am resting. I'm doing something, you know, he said. I need. You. He spoke for a long time when he was speaking and I knew that he was convincing me to come for the meeting. When he finished talking, I said, Bishop, honestly, I can't come for the meeting. I don't want to be like he said no, no, no. I say you are coming. You have to come for this meeting. I said I'm coming, I'm coming. Finish. Yeah. And I had no plans of going to, so I wasn't feeling well. I didn't want. But when he says come here. So OK, I'm coming. Yeah, you see this, whatever you are. And you have it doesn't make you too big for. Certain things, it's a certain. Bigness. When you see, you should become afraid. Hey, my mother, when my mother calls me, do you think she calls me Bishop? She said Dad, I said. I said yes, Mommy, just tell me straight away she's my mummy and she's. An unhealthy son. So you have to watch out for bigness, eh? Always try to notice bigness, that you become a little bigger than how you used to be before. But at first they could call you. At first they could say something, but now cannot, cannot. Too big too. Whatever he said to me. Look. I say I need, don't say. You cannot come, so sometimes you say you can't come and I like I said, this one will come and I wait and I tell you the purpose for the meeting. So I wasn't happy at all. Hallelujah. So watch out for the spirit of false prophecy. Amen. Another spirit that often operates is the spirit of greed. Financial gain financial. Usually there is a financial element when people are leaving churches. Amen. You see? Somebody said. Oh, God has spoken, but actually money has spoken. God has spoken, but actually some financial Maybe you look at the churches and say about this church craft. If I also collect all the. Types. Personally I think I would be better off, I'm struggling and so on. And you've got to watch out because if it was for money, if it was for money, you would you would not like this church anymore. I'm telling you, if I'm here to to rape. You of your money. If I'm here to rape you of your money and to take as much as I can from you, you will not be happy to see me. When I came, you were clapping to see me. I was. I was touched. You are happy to see me. I was touched. You see, even when I'm, when I'm raising funds from you, you don't think that I'm coming to take money from you. Yeah, so I'm touched. And I'm telling you, if it was different and you know that this man, all that is after is stopping money, all that he wants is money, he would not have any good feeling. And that is no pastor should be like that. It's just not a good thing. That I am looking for the people's money. Please. Amen. We are blessed. Hallelujah. The one who is taking my volume down should be very careful. Be very careful. Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. So let us, all of us, be wary of people who rise up to do this. Say, brother, there are three spirits that I'm questioning you about. Number one, the spirit of Lucifer, A Number 2, the spirit of false prophecy and #3 the spirit of greed. Yes. You must watch out. That is why churches which have their origins in Africa or Ghana are rarely able to sustain a branch in any wealthy country like England or America. They cannot sustain the branches because the pastors are not faithful like these persons have been faithful pastors. Faithful. Yeah. You know, the other day I was talking. To my friend Reverend Steve, Reverend Steve Mezza, and he asked me where are you? I said I'm at, I'm at a funeral. He said which funeral, which funeral are you attending? Myself was our church member's funeral. That's Angie and whatever the Harris Sawyer funeral. Then another time he comes, where are you? So I'm at a wedding. He said, hey, every Saturday you are somewhere. I have to be somewhere, they said. Then one day I goes, where are you, Sam? Here. Then he said, you know, I've noticed that there are certain strategic important places you will always. Go there, you know, like some funerals, weddings. Oh, yeah, There are some that are very important. Like when Lily died. Yeah, after me. I'm not a funeral, but I don't have that culture at all. If you ask me to funeral, it's the last place that I would like to to attend. Go for one week celebration, two weeks celebration, three weeks funeral. No, no, no, no, I don't. I don't have that culture. But the faithfulness of the people. When Lily. Lily. From the first day, the first day, this church in America, she was there and she was so fake. She convinced her husband she don't know. This is a good person. It's not a bad, it's not a bad person. It's a good no, it's a good person. We have to be here, 6 people. We have to be in the church. Wow, Is it not a faithful? Why would I? What would our homies remember her? I would come personally. Yeah, you see, and what I'm saying, what I'm trying, I'm trying to say that it is a blessing to have people who are faithful. They are not working in the church out of money. And when Lily died, people said, this is our mother. She has been talking to us, preaching to us, teaching us, even up to the. Last day, not for money. I didn't come for money. And Lily did not become a pastor to get money from somebody, never for a day. Yes, you'd rather give her money and her husband would rather give his money. So this ministry work we are doing is not to get things when you seem to be blessed and you rather seem to get something. Through. What you are doing, praise God, it is an extra something that goes fix something as a blessing extra. This is not intended. And I honestly, I don't work with all the people that work with me. I don't work with them for money. Honestly, I don't know how that relationship is. It's very difficult for me. I'll always be afraid of you that how much is it? How much was the last place? What have you heard in town that they are paying these days and maybe you are getting less? I become scared. I'm not used to that. All the people that I work, if there's nothing like that, you understand? So no, no work of God should be done with this money spirit in you. And so you watch out. Anybody who say I'm taking over this church, you must rise up and say look. Maybe you were not at the camp, but we were there. You were described in detail. You seem to be following all the steps exactly. Hey, you start the person. I've never seen somebody who has fulfilled their prophecy exactly like you. Now, will you get out of this chair before I deal with you in a way that you will not like? Yeah. Don't allow them at all, I said. Don't allow them at all. Not even for one minute. The next very important evil spirit than birth is an evil spirit of evil. Independence. Yeah. Independence. It is independence. Huh. Is there any woman here who is pregnant? I want a pregnant woman. Somebody with a big stomach. Please, please be here. Please be here. I need one pregnant woman. Can you come to me? If you have a pregnant, do you mind? Unless you are newer, maybe it'll be a problem to you. But if you don't mind, I need your stomach badly. Wow. Which test is this, huh? Rochester. Wow. How many? OK, but you don't know how many weeks. How many months? 4. Months. Wow. And you're not sure whether it's twins, right? Let's say it's twins, Peter and John. OK, now let's say it's twins Peter and John. Supposing Peter and John, she says maybe four months. Supposing Peter and John say, you know, we believe we are also individuals. We are individuals. That's why there's a law that sometimes in some countries, a law against abortion. But we ask human beings, yes, we have lunch. We have hats, we have kidneys. We have everything. Once it's three months, we have everything. All the organs are formed by three months. Ah, my heart beats. Your heart beats. What's your name? Princess, Wow, that's a good name, Princess, Princess. And he said, well, Princess is loving it over. Us. She's always above us. You see You are above. And when you are going somewhere, we always have to follow you, isn't it, Peter and John? You have to go with you. You don't ask us. And also because we are, we are dependent on you. We are in darkness. We want light, we want independence. So Peter will tell John. John, hold one side of the Ambilaka cord. Peter, hold one side of the Ambilaka cord when I say pull, When I say pull then you pull hat, and then when I say kick then you kick and pull. Ready study, go stop. Peter and John are pulling and kicking. And then they say, you know, we want to cut this and be like a cord. Yeah. And then they will all be asleep one night and they will hear princesses running around. What did she run about? Why she run about? I heard her telling her mother that she swallowed something by mistake. She has swallowed a blade by mistake. Let us. See if we can cut that. Cut that blade inside and use it to cut so they'll put their hand out to take their bed. They cut it because we want to be free. We want to be our own self. We always have to tell us what to do. We'll be under you. Why do we have to be under you? Hey, there's some evil spirits. Can you now let us say that. OK, Peter. Was very happy to be inside Princess but John keeps on talking to Peter and telling Peter look Kelly we could. Be on our own. We could be on our own. Yeah, we could be on our own. Yeah. There, there are lights you don't see. There are things we don't experience. Why don't we experience it for ourselves? Let's let's let's be free. Let's be our own man let's express ourselves. We are giving books. They say preach from this book do this to the why do we have to do what you say wow they say that there and they. Come out. You see, it's an evil spirit because when you cut the ambilight accord when you are not supposed to cut the ambilight accord, you are finished. OK, OK, OK. We are not in the womb. We've come out. We are two years old now. We've been here for two years. I understand. Why do we have to be with you? We want to be on now. Oh, we know our way around. Now we can walk. We know our way around. Why should we follow this Princess? She feels too big. She's called herself Princess. Wow. You see, this is what people do when God hasn't called. And that is why when you go, my friend who was with in Denmark, he was telling me and in Switzerland German. You see so many small, small, small, small, small churches. This one has broken away. This one used to be you ask me. If we are all on the same road and you are in this church and then the next one you break away and then you are on the same street just 4 kilometers away. What is it that you have achieved? It's only independence you have achieved, but nothing. Yes. And it's an evil independence and you don't care what? Happens. Sit down my dear. Thank you. Now I want to use somebody as an example, but I don't want, I don't want to get even one person to use as this example. So if I ask you to come, say no. If I ask you say no, who will volunteer? I want a man and a woman. I'll pray for you after I cancel it. You want to come? Then I need a woman. You want to come? I told you to say no, but if you if you say yes, you come, come. I'm just going to use your knee for something. And then for the lady, I'm going to use your breast for something. So just come. Wow. What's your name, brother? Mackenzie. Wow, are you from Scotland? What's your name, Marion? Glory to God, Mackenzie. Do you like your legs? Supposing your knee says the look. I'm restricted by these trousers. Skinny jeans. I want to feel free. I want to be myself. I want to express myself. I want to become. Bigger because I feel a. Call. Can you imagine if this knee feels a call to become bigger? Would you like that? Huh. Give him the microphone. Do you know what it is called? When we have an independent knee? It's called. Osteosarcoma. Yeah, use the mic knee. This one. What is your doctor? What would you do with this knee? When you see this guy with this osteosarcoma of this knee, it has become independent as it's growing. It's on the same St. as it's on the same St. as the other knee. He wants to just. Be. Develop independently of all the others. What will you do with him? Take him out. How? Which one would you take out? It's quite big. Like this size. Now. The rest OK. I finish. You are done for now you come. The breast you have. You have breasts. OK. Now don't go. I have to pray for you. Supposing your right breasts says I don't like what are the sizes of breasts? How do they say? What do they say? 20 CABCDE OK, now let's say this one is C average C You got an average C but it says I want. D. Double D Double. DI want to feel powerful. I don't feel powerful at AC. Yeah, I want to express myself and. Just the right side decides to start. Growing and get bigger. Bigger independently of this one. Not that 2 are going the right one is going on its own. Doctor, what is that one too called? A microphone. Would you like that? You would like to have a no no. No, no, no. OK, OK, not a problem. She says she doesn't want. What about both? Both. If all of you get bigger together, your face, your body, everything gets you don't want to grow bigger. OK, like this. No problem. Doctor, what would you call that? If one side gets wow, what are you going to do? Threatens the rest of her body. Why? It's just a small fight here that is growing independent. How can this threaten the rest of us? If you are having one little branch, if you are taking one little section to grow separately, how does it threaten the rest of us? You see, you see that it threatens the rest of us. You see that it threatens the rest of everybody else is not just stressing just your little corner that you are doing what you are doing. It affects all of us. All of us are affected by that thing. The girl is in danger of dying. The whole body, the whole body is in danger of dying. That is why we cut it off. That's why we that's why we are radical. That's why we are not gentle over those things. We don't accept it. That's why we preach against it. We don't want it because it is It is dangerous to her. Yeah, Yeah. Whether it is your friend. Who is doing it or not? It's a dangerous thing to the rest. Of us, it threatens everything. That we stand for and everything that we have. Doctor has it trusted everybody. Wow, I saw a young girl 25 years old like that 25 she had it 1. W became Independent 25 and my professor said do you see how they don't even grow lean? It looks like it's normal. And look at it, it was threatened. Her whole life was threatened and she died. And I saw a guy with a leg like this when they did the test that Doctor Notch said the thread had spread. There was some in the liver, there was some in the brain, there was some everywhere. Today he's dead. But it started with the knee. So if we as a church don't give it the right name and the right treatment for what it is, it was spread. And before I realized the whole body is in the grave. The whole body is in the grave. Yeah. So I want you to say pastors, you know, there are people who don't appreciate these things when we teach them. But as you grow older, you know we are all getting older. You know, you'll realize that, look, this thing is spoiling everything. And anybody you know who has cancer, you'll always remember. You say, hey, this thing threatened the whole yes when Lily got sick. I knew from yes, and I knew that her life was threatened by that thing and I always used to pray for her in Ghana. I prayed for her in America because she was threatened, right and tells that she knew that she was under threat. When you have the smallest section of the body of Christ threatening to be independent and trying independent in the name of whatever spiritual reason they gave. What's major reason can you come this Brexit for saying I'm going on my own now? I mean what you ask me what are the reasons you want? To give for this, what is it going to do for us? Yeah. So you've got to watch out. None of us is on an island. You are not on an island, you are. Part of me, you know you belong to me and I'm also belong. Anything that happens to me, you think it will not affect you, it will affect you. You see that it will affect you and anything that happens to you will affect me. So I was talking. To someone I said, I told the person, the person to say oh this giving some, I said look within 5 minutes. If you die within 5 minutes I will be told. And even all of you here within fight, that's how news is now within fight, which I will be called, I will be called, I will be told, I will be in bed. They will come from my house. They have instructions no matter the day or night time or day. I've even given a special way they can reach me in my room. I've got a special bell to call me. Anybody who calls me say I'm a doctor. So there's nothing like I have to sleep till the morning and when I wake up, there's nothing like that. Any time of the day or night, you should call me. If I'm needed, I will get up. I'm not a lawyer. I'm a doctor and a pastor. I'm a pastor. Most of all, there's lawyers who have to be driven around in cars. So don't say my life is my life. Your life is not your life. Your life is our life. If you like, take a knife and remove just your small toe. This event, see whether you sleep, whether you can sleep today, see whether you can sleep. Just take off your toe and see whether your toe does not affect you, just your toe. OK, Don't take off your toe. Take off the nail, the nail. Let's remove the nail and keep the toe and let's see whether you'll be happy today. Father, we cancel every cancer from this one in the name of Jesus. Thank you for your power in Jesus name, Amen. Wow, Independence. So anybody who tries any of these funny tricks, unless there's anybody outside, just let them be coming in. Otherwise, they've missed the camp. Hey, are you there? You are going home. Oh, all right. Now, I said the Holy Spirit influences missions and evil spirits influence breakaways, departures, confusion and rebellion. There are two things. Yeah. One causes mission. You see that the person has gone out, you see, and we are not looking for you to like, stay there so that you, you pay tithe. We'll be happy for you to be out there doing. Something great for the Lord and sitting down there. Playing tight, it's not a breakaway, it's a mission. There are two different things, and that's why I'm laying this very important foundation. The Holy Spirit inspires us to do missions #5. The Spirit of. Selfishness influences people often who are breaking away and going. Now the cancer that I just described, is it not selfishness? You grew, but what happened? The rest of us died. The rest of the body suffered. You had your way. You. Had your way, isn't it? Isn't it? You did what you wanted to do now. Now what has happened, it has affected the rest. One pastor, he broke away. I told him don't do this or don't do it. He did it. When he did, he wanted me to come to his church that he had broken away from. I said I can never come to your church. And he wanted me to ordain him. I said, how can I ordain you? Then it means what I'm saying to you is that this is the right thing and I'm blessing the cancer and I'm not going to do that because you broke out. I told him my members are in your church, my members are in your church, and you have. Destabilized the church. Because when you leave, you always have to give a good reason. So. Selfishness. You can have your way, but it's not like that. I told you, you have spoiled your lifelong relationships. All the gangs in this church are in the directed towards that thing. So tell myself, what type of church is that? When you when you leave, it's like nobody will flow with you again. I told you, look, listen, when I went to Korea, Seoul, Korea, they explained to me, said look, the number of guns that are facing Seoul because the border with North Korea is just at Seoul. He said. All the guns of North Korea are facing there, ready for pain, and then they shoot. And all the guns in South Korea are also facing Pyongyang, ready to shoot. So I was explaining to this brother that all our guns are facing Orangus and departees and breakaways and rebellion. So as soon as you go and scan, if all the gangs are facing there, you go and position yourself there. All the preaching will be against you and you will think that somebody hates you or somebody's using you as an example. Somebody's using you as an example if I preach about dangerous sands. When did I preach about it? One day I went to preach somewhere about loyalty and display and there was an old man sitting there and he went and he got asked someone give me the book, give me the book. And he went and got the book. And you know what? He checked in the book, he went to check the date it was published when it was written. He was. Yeah, he was amazed. He came in after he said you know this. Book was not written because of us. It was already written. Yeah, I was. Nobody has ever said anything said. Look, I realized that this man didn't write this thing. Now, whether he wrote it some time ago, something that is there. Yeah. So what I'm saying is that nobody is going to write a book specially because of you. The thing is written already. It is there. So when you go and position yourself there, you say, ah, why are you writing? A book. I'm not writing a book about you. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing it? Before we had the first Orango in this church, loyalty and disloyalty was already taught. And even the first person who became rebellion taught these stages of disloyalty. Before he left, he taught it before he left. After teaching it, then he left. Mercy. Wow #7 or 6 Spirit of deception. Now why do we say deception? You see, deception often hovers around thinking or believing something that is not true, often believing you are bigger than you are, believing that you are something that you are not really believing, that maybe you must be on your own to do what you have to do. You don't. I thank God I'm part of Lighthouse because you know, because I'm part of Lighthouse, I can even as I do Healing Jesus Crusade, who supports me to do Healing Jesus Crusade. I'm glad I'm part of the I'm part of Lighthouse. I've felt like leaving Lighthouse before, but I thank God I'm still in Lighthouse. Yeah. I thank God I'm still part of it, and I hope to die as a member of the church. Yeah. I could have broken away and started a new church. Yeah. Healing Jesus Chapel International. Yeah. But I'm glad I'm part of it and. You will also be glad that you are part of it. But you see, the deception leads you to think I gotta go. I'll be better off when I'm gone. Some of you were deceived before you came to America. You thought America was this when you came. Oh man, some of you were deceived before you came here. Some of you were deceived before you got married. She was so beautiful. She looked so soft, but she was actually hard. She looks so gentle, but she was actually wild. She's Wilder than you by far. Hey, after you've. Been in the church for some time. You are not deceived by the gentle looking ladies. Many of my administrators are women. They are far stronger than some of the men. They are not man woman. They are woman, woman. But they are strong. They are real women, but they are strong and they use the strength at their work. I hope they don't use it in the house. Hey, pray that you are married to a soft lady because in marriage you don't need hardness. You need softness and flow and gentleness. Somebody who says yes, somebody who says no problem and somebody who smiles. Wow. And if you have somebody who is always angry, always with a face. One day I visited an old man and an old woman in their house, and when the old lady went out of the room, he took his walking stick and he pointed. Angry, angry, always angry. He spoke in another language. Who is angry? Because you see now he was not well, and she was the nurse and the mother. Matron of the House. It wasn't easy for him at all. So watch out when you are going to marry these gentle looking ladies. Not as gentle. Some are not as gentle. Some ladies are unmarriageable. You can't marry, it's true. I know a number of ladies who are unmarriageable, not for any other reason but hardness. You are too emotionally Bony. You are an emotional bone. That's true. There are two emotional no one can pair with you. You see, for instance, when some people cannot be pregnant, sometimes there are some immune factors around the cervix that prevent the sperms from entering. Immunologically, they are so opposed that there's resistance, you see, for the sperm to even come before it will even meet and they'll be pregnant. So some people, they have some immunological existence, you see, like, yeah, to a man and to control or to instructions that any man who comes, then they also come. It's like, it's not easy. You cannot use that to marry and stay. Then one must be the head and one must be not the head. Yeah. Without that, you'll see that you may want to marry. You may even get somebody who will be deceived enough to marry you. But after a while, you realize that you can't stay together because you are too hard to be compatible. Yeah. Are you there? So I'm saying this because there's somebody here, like some people like that here you are immunologically. You see, one day, one day I had a friend of mine, he had a kidney transplant and he was not getting well, The wound was not getting healed. So I told the relative, I said, well, they should take vitamin C to help with the wound healing. Then they told and then the people said no, no, no. Vitamin C Vitamin C will increase the immunity of the person and make the person reject the kidney. Yeah. Vitamin C increases your immunity and it rejects it. Something that you need, you reject it. And that's what it is. When your immunity is too much for a man or for control. No, no. No, don't, don't, don't talk that way. I don't want that at all. One lady she got. Married. The first day she took her ring off, she threw it. Don't worry, you'll find it. Don't steal it off. Yeah, I got it. He took his. She took her ring off. She threw it. She threw it on the floor, She said. I don't take nonsense. Yeah, that was her opening statement. I don't take nonsense. Yeah. I don't take nonsense. It's a warning shot. I don't take nonsense. Anybody who doesn't take nonsense cannot marry. Marriage is full of nonsense. Wow. Are. You still around while you're going home? The next, and very important, is the spirit of ungratefulness, who's so rewarded evil for good. Evil shall not depart from his house. So a spirit of ungratefulness often inspires departures, which is different from missions, which is different from reaching out, which is different from continuing to plant churches. Wouldn't you be happy if we have 100 churches in South and Latin America? Wouldn't you be proud of yourselves and say, look, Mission America is? Working. Yeah. You must be proud of yourself for that. And all the states in America that we don't have churches. There must be missions. There must be. You can do something. For the Lord. Amen. The spirit of ungratefulness causes operates. In those who are not, what do you call it? Those who break away. Not the Holy. Spirit, a lot of people are ungrateful. Yeah, just being grateful for all that God has done for you, even through the ministry, He would not do that to hurt the hand that has looked after you. The mother that has fed you, you don't slap her. One day a certain brother was angry with his mother. I think they were doing some kind of business and he took the mother was wearing a wig. You know, you wouldn't know that she was wearing a wig. He took the wig off her head and slapped her with a wig. You don't do that to the woman who looked after you. Have you seen a woman giving birth before? How many have seen it before? How many have not seen one before? OK, you are standing there. You see the baby coming out. Oh, you will have respect. It is the most frightening thing initially when you haven't seen it before. You can't even believe that it's going to end well. I can't even believe that good will end well. It's too scary so. Don't be ungrateful. To the one who fed you, some of you have fed, you have preached to you have taught you don't be ungrateful. Some of you are not Christians. You changed, you did this, you did that. A lot of things in the chat for years must be grateful. Sometimes out of gratefulness, you say, you know, let me just be a faithful person because this person has been good to me or God has been good to me. Let me be a missionary, Amen. And #9 spirit of pride #8A spirit of pride. A spirit of pride is one of the spirits that leads to breakaways. Breaking away pride, remember? All. Of Satan's children are the children of pride Job 41 verse 34 he beholdeth all high things. He Leviathan is a king over all the children of pride. The children of pride are the children of Leviathan or the devil. OK, he's the king. If you read the whole of Job 41, you see he was talking about Leviathan the devil, and it described him as the king over all the children of pride. Are you listening? Amen. So God is trying to tell us that we must not be a child of pride. And I spoke to you about Lucifer. Lucifer is the spirit of pride. You can be poor, you can be young, but you can be filled with pride. Watch out for those who are filled with the spirit of pride. Are you listening to me? And finally #10 #9 the spirit of depression, spirit of depression, Isaiah 61 verse one and the three spirit of depression. Now the Bible says, and I will give you a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness. Now this I am saying, you may wonder why does the spirit of heaviness make people leave churches or depart in rebellion? First of all, from even from experience, people who become quiet and think in their heads without asking questions, they are the ones who become more rebellious because you see when you don't talk or you share what you are thinking about or your question or your concern. That it multiplies in your head and you begin to have reasons why you think what you are saying is right, but you haven't even spoken about it. And you'll be surprised to hear the other side of the story. So people who don't talk. Much and are. Always thinking deeply within themselves, forming conclusions about things you shouldn't conclude about. You are often in danger. Of doing something wrong. You are in danger of mental illness. Yeah. That's why God said it is not good that a man should be on his own. It's not a good thing. When you are on your own, there's no money to talk to. And all the thoughts that come in your mind go through your mind, go through your mind, go through your mind. You think about this, Why this? Why didn't he say this? But what is that? He meant me. Listen, now, if you were to ask questions, you find out it's not like that at all. Hey, you're so wrong. It's not like that at all. But you're full of those thoughts. So people who are quiet, you know, like somebody you see basically becomes quiet. He doesn't talk anymore. He doesn't ask any question about anything anymore, not knowing that all this is going on. Then when you hear said what? But why didn't you ask? Why don't you know that this is what are you thinking? I mean, how can you even think like that? But that's how they think, because their tendency is quietness and moodiness and thinking about things themselves. Very dangerous, very dangerous. So I have. Watched people over there, that's why. I'm not comfortable with people who don't talk. I must be honest with you, but if you don't talk much, I'm not comfortable. There must be talking, There must be talking. One day I took a certain bother. You know, I always like to move around with people for good reasons. And when I did, I travelled and I traveled for a long time. And then this brother was sitting behind me in my car, and my car had three seats, so I was in the second he was behind me. Hey, every time I will be going like that and then I will say then I will say, So what do you think? Brother Suzu, he was behind me. Brother so. Since I don't let people sit behind me. So what do you think, Brother Suzu? Then he will say something. We'll be quiet now, you know. What do you think about it? You say something small. Hey. By the time we were coming back, I was more nervous and I said to myself I will never travel anywhere with this guy again. And that's the last time I don't wanted to travel with him anywhere. I was feel nervous. What is he going to say? Why doesn't he say OK, what is he? Thinking Is he happy? Have you heard me asking that question before? Are you happy? Are you OK? It's one of our important questions in the chat. Are you happy? What do you think? Is everything OK? What do you think the answer is? I think so. I'm OK I think. So here's an answer. Yeah, I'm always quiet thinking. So these are the. Spirits, you see they are working in people and before I realize He will rise up and start to manifest. Yeah, it's not that the church is a place that you cannot. As for Lighthouse, you cannot live. You can live, you can live. I can mention people who have left quietly and peacefully, but if you want to take even one, just one member's finger like this, we will not even let you before the whole member. We will contend with you because we are shepherds, and a shepherd will fight for the sheep. Hey, and if if my friendship with you is not, you have not enjoyed it. You want to enjoy my enmity, I don't mind. I will because that is why. That is why the Bible says that one will come against you one way and you will scatter in seven different directions. I will invoke that spirit that you will scatter in confusion. Yeah, but I will not curse you. You already kissed. Yes. I don't kiss my children. You kissed. No, no, no. Don't kiss. You have worried yourself. I'm not going to add a feather. Worry. And you don't kiss. They are all my children. I pray for them. There are people they won't. They'll be surprised to hear me in my study in my house, or mention their names. Or mention all their notified. I pray for. This one. You walking up and down the name of Jesus Father, amazing that because God has filled my heart with love for them. They are all my children. Now I'm saying to you, I'm saying to you that do not let evil spirit lead you to destroy a very important thing that God has given to us. You should not spoil the church. We should do missions and we shouldn't spoil the church and don't destroy relationships, ha. Are you a child? Relationship God gives us, We keep them forever. Forever and forever. Death will separate us. Period. I must be at your funeral. And you must be at my funeral or your representative. Amen. What do you think to your feet and let's thank the Lord. So there must be missions, not break our ways. Just pray for yourself for a moment. The Lord himself is going to establish you in His will, in His plan to do His will. My God, thank you for your blessing. Thank you for your wonderful help that is coming to us at this time. My God, my God, my God, my God, my God, my God. Mandola Moschande. Lebeke, Mandela. Pray, pray for a moment. Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be the name of the Lord. Thank you for your gift. Thank you for your help. Thank you for your power. My God, my God, my God, my God, thank you Lord for your gift, your blessing. Pray, pray, pray, pray in Jesus name Father, we thank you for helping us at this time to understand the difference between a mission and a breakaway. We are grateful. Build your church. We ask in a special way, Build your church. Thank you Lord, in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated. We're going to take a.
