I want to have beautiful. You can't wait to share each passing day I'll love you more. This is to say that the Lord has been I will rejoice, I will rejoice, I will rejoice, for for each passing day I love you. But this is the day that the Lord happily I will rejoice, I will rejoice, I will rejoice with you. This is the day and day. This is the day. All right, glory to God, you guys are doing a great job. OK Father, thank you for your blessing in Jesus name, Amen. You may be seated now. Hello. Hello, Hello. Make my thing nice and clear. Nice and clear. All right. Glory to God. Now, what is an atmosphere? An atmosphere? Look, I don't like the sound. Somebody has touched the dials of this one, I tell you. Hello and give me some volume so I don't need to shout hello, right? Hallelujah. An atmosphere is a surrounding is the surrounding. That's one #2 it is a pervading mood. So your surroundings, an atmosphere. This is an English definition of an atmosphere. The surrounding the atmosphere of this Earth is the surrounding gases that we have that we are breathing. We don't breathe oxygen. We breathe a combination of gases that are in the atmosphere. Do you understand? We use some of the things in the atmosphere, atmospheric temperature and pressure and gases. There's not only oxygen that you breathe. Is it only oxygen that you breathe? A lot of different things. So your surroundings, your room is your atmosphere. Your room, your bedroom, where you sleep is your atmosphere. You understand a room is part of the atmosphere. If you are in a jumbled up room, that is the atmosphere. If you are, if you have a lot of boxes in your room, you have the atmosphere of a warehouse or a rubbish damp that has not been fully cleared or a work in progress, you get it. But your surroundings is equal to atmosphere. It's one of the definitions of what is an atmosphere, and it's very, very important. Not just your surroundings can cause you to have certain thoughts. Just your room. Yeah. And that would come to you when you travel a lot or you start travelling, You will realize how you think in different places. Yeah, like you will never know that the atmosphere has such an effect on even the thoughts that are allowed to pass through your mind. Remind me to tell you what happened to me when I went to Argentina. Yeah, OK. But I want to finish the definition because when I go to the right now, it's going to go a long time. The the, the next difference is an environment. The environment. If, if, if you, if you check the web on your on your tripod or your iPad. Oh, I thought I was going to show you a tripod. Oh, somebody brought a tripod and has gone. Remind me to call out on Mary to call whatever to bring the child out. You are all going digital. Just keep receiving this. Don't look listeners, people. People have fought against the Catholic Church for honoring Mary. But long ago, the Holy Spirit showed me that Mary is one of the greatest fantastic figures in the whole Bible. Mary. Oh, yeah. When the Pope died, this last Pope, on his coffin was written a single letter, M for Mary. Yeah. This last Pope, he wrote on his coffin, M for Mary. Yeah, you know, and the Angel said, blessed art thou amongst women to believe such a story and to just so how did you become pregnant? The Holy Spirit? I mean you tried saying that today anywhere and see what will happen. How did you become pregnant? The Holy Spirit, the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit, it's so fantastic. So when I say that you will be fully digital, when the Angel told that these fantastic she said look, be it unto me according to thy words, just look, let it be unto your handmaiden, whatever, I just flew with it. So when you hear these fantastic things, because you may not even know how somebody like you can move digital, do you understand based on your current economic situation, single digit inflation without strong currency? Our strong currency has been devalued in the last four years. It's lost all its value times 100% and became 2 to one started as one to one that lost 100% of its value in four years and a fantastic economic management. Are you listening? So when I great things about when I tell you that your marriage will be better than our marriage, you have to receive. You have to just believe these things. Don't, don't argue in your head. There are people who argue in their head. Anything that is said, they have an argument in their head. It doesn't just enter quietly. There's an argument. How should you argue in your head? Even in your head, why should you argue? It's wrong to argue. Accept good things and believe a good thing for your future. And I've prophesied to you. Just say that it will be on to me. As you have said, you must believe things. And the more you believe, you also have to believe things which you don't understand. And the more you are able to believe things you don't understand, the higher you go with God. Oh yeah, there will be always some things you will not understand. When it comes to those ones, those are the ones that remember that. That's the one. The one that is against your nature and it's flowing against how you feel. These are the ones you have to believe more. Believe it more and you'll be surprised. That keeps going higher. Keep going higher. I'm happy to be in the first lap church and a year ago I was having my quiet time and as I was having my first time, I was in Revelation and then I read the place where it says for me, God speak to me through the Bible. One of my main ways God speak to me through the Bible and through people that I meet is if you read the giant book, when he met all those paths who had fallen and they had gone to heaven, they were in the lowest part of heaven. He was saying that so on earth I have come here to see these things. What about those who are on earth who have never had that vision? What hope is there for anybody who has not had a fantastic vision? And the Lord said to him that if you have a humble heart, every encounter you have and every human being you meet and every encounter you have, if you are humble and your heart is open, you will receive the same lessons that you are having here in the form of a vision on earth. Yeah, and Jesus also said it when the five loaves and the 10 thousand, 5000 fishes, 5000 loaves and so on, he asked them, why is your heart hat, after what happened, suddenly teach you something? So he calls it when you don't learn something from something that has happened, he calls it a heart. Heart. Why is your heart happening? Is that something like this has happened and it doesn't have an effect on you? Doesn't it teach you something you want to learn from the things that are happening, wants to see things and let the Holy Spirit teach you something practically then to be as if you are having a vision. So that's one of the ways the Holy Spirit speaks to me. Things happen and it's God starts to speak to me so much because my heart doesn't. My heart doesn't need to be hardened when I feed 2 fishes and five low 10 to feed 5000 men, 5000 hungry men, not 500 people at the car, 5000 men, 355 loaves of bread, 35000 men apart from the women and children. It's just it should, it should enter your soul and something should be speaking to you all the time and God should speak to you. So every heart is hard, everything happens, things happen, you meet people, things go on, it doesn't nothing occurs, no new thoughts comes to your mind. So one of the ways the Holy Spirit speaks to me is that way, and another is Bible reading. So I was reading my Bible and the Holy Spirit said to me, you have blessed your first love, my first love again. I've been preaching all the way of God. I go here, I've started crusade. What again? What am I not doing again? Because I'm always scared. When I'm afraid, I'm always afraid. No, what am I doing? What am I not doing? Do you understand? So it was still in my spirit, you know, So when sudden events came up and then I said no, I'm going to move in, do a church, you know, again. And then we came and I said, no first laugh. He said, as we have been doing the first about a year, it has also brought so many things up which I didn't even know. Yeah. Are you understanding what I'm saying? So I'm just saying that the holy he speaks to, at least to me, beholding my Bible, I'm reading it suddenly an Angel is standing there as if Jesus has come to stand there. You see, when Papa Haven had the vision while he was in the hospital, he said that, look, the dog was just 5:45 in the afternoon and he was alone lying on the wall in the hospital, and the door was open just a little. Then he had footsteps outside the door. Somebody was coming, so he looked down and he saw a rope and he could see that on the feet, the sandhouse. So he thought it was, he said like he could see open sandhouse. So he thought though it may be a mess. So when the person came in and he looked, he said because he has had a vision of Jesus before, he said it was Jesus physically. And Jesus walked in tight in the afternoon, walked to the foot of the bed and took a chair. He said he was lying on the side. He came in from the right, took a chair and went to the left side and pulled the chair and sat by him on the left side of the bed. I sat down to talk to him, talk to him for two hours, two hours about the ministry and got up and walked out and 8:00 whatever. The Doctor Who had admitted him came for one round and talked to him also. He had no idea. I mean, what I'm saying is that maybe you may not have this type of fantastic experiences, but you may be like this. And when you read the Bible to understand, the Holy Spirit will speak to you through what you are reading in the Bible. Yeah, then you must be open. You must be open. You must be open to God. God is speaking. God is guiding. God is leading, always leading, always, always present. His Angel by your side, His spirit upon you, His spirit babbling out of you, speaking, guiding, influencing, pushing you, pushing you, pressing you this way, this way, to the right, To the right. Papa, he said. He said, when did Jesus start by? He said, do you remember? Do you remember? He said, do you remember a church when one day a pastor came to you and he said to you, you go to small churches. He said the guy has about 50 members in his church. That's a few people. He said. The guy said, do you go to? He said that you, you realize that since the guy spoke to you sometimes you keep on remembering that thing He said. He said, that was me. I was the one talking to you. Yeah, I was talking to you since that guy. So I'm telling you go to this church is that I'm telling you good. And this is the last time that I will tell you. In fact, the kind of vision to go, this is the last time from now you have to be like everybody else and follow, learn how to follow the Spirit and the guidance, the influence and the portion of the Spirit. I tell you, I don't even know what you are talking about. Yeah, believe that spirit. OK, so listen. Atmosphere, atmosphere, the environment. The next one is the pervading mood. Mood, mood of the spirit. Hallelujah influence. OK, then the next one is the dominant mood is the dominant and the dominant mood. That is why Moody people often bring evil spirits when we have a dark face. A dominating mood, the presence of your unsmiling face and unresponsive attitude. Look, your attitude, your eyes. You want to preach. I look. I look into your eyes, I look at your face. All the walls, all the walls that were lost, the big, big walls, all came about from a change in something small in the leader. Sometimes the attitude, just the attitude of the person on the level of encouragement or the level of discouragement was a change, like Napoleon, just a change when he started to lose 1 of the main things that he didn't command the army personnel as he used to and his attitude was different. He has married for two years and he was slightly different with a small potbelly because it was before when he was bringing all his slight change in the attitude and then they started start to lose. So a slight change in attitude, a dark mood that you transfer on all of us in the room and we are having a meeting. We feel always to have to explain something to you because you are not smiling, No you don't. You don't look happy anymore and your presence is disturbing all of us. It's an evil thing, but it's the surroundings even more powerful than the trees and the beautiful grass and the lawns and the things that we have around are all cancelled by your presence and the dominant moon that you are transferring onto everybody there. I'm telling you. Some of you, your mouth is like this, this place is down like that. Your mouth is like standard, like the angry standard, like when your mouth is at rest, You see, everybody has a different place at rest. And at rest, at rest, your mouth, your mouth is angry looking. And if at rest your mouth is angry looking, If you want to ask somebody who sees you when you are sleeping, that's how your mouth is at rest. Some people when they sleep, the mouth is open and some people when they sleep, the mouth is closed. It depends on your mouth, but there is an advantage of an open mouth. There are differences. I will tell you if you remind me, I will tell you. You want to know that is not the topic I'm talking about the mood. The mood. So you must reject. I don't accept the presence of somebody who transfers his or her mood onto all of us. How quickly Change your presence. I'll quickly remove you from my company or somebody who doesn't speak at all. It's like you are the silent. Are you the silent visitor? Have you seen that? The silent visitor in every home, The guests, the unseen guests at every meal, the silent listener to every prayer and conversation. Are you the silent listener? No. Where are your comments? Where are your statements? Are you deaf and dumb? We want to know how you feel. We want to know your feelings, how your silence makes us fear you. Fear quiet people and survive longer. Respect them, I tell you. They have thoughts, they have imaginations, they have ideas. So an atmosphere is the dominant mood. So that is why some people, they were employing everybody and they employ 1 sanguine to lighten the atmosphere, Mike Meddock said. He had one person that he employed and he lightened the whole office up. My wife is like that. My wife will laugh at the most serious people, so just just laugh at you. I remember once one set in my mind, very serious with glasses. He wears glasses, very serious. So just laugh at him and say something to him and he's so confused. So such a person lightens the atmosphere. She has constantly lightened and lightened the atmosphere around me since she was my beloved light atmosphere to her Laughing, laughing, laughing, laughing. And. But if you laugh at her, she doesn't like it. She doesn't like it at all. When I laugh at her, she says no, my laughing is serious, mine is serious. There's something serious and it's not a joke. And I don't accept that because you are laughing at me and you also laugh at me. Yeah, but a Moody person darkens the atmosphere, frightened the atmosphere. That time I was travelling somewhere, there was somebody sitting behind me. He wasn't speaking. No boy, nothing. Because he was right behind me. I couldn't be standing like this. I couldn't standing like this. So I don't. Since then, I don't allow. I'll choose the person who sits behind me. The one who sits there. I'm sure of the person's attitude. Yeah, the one who sits right behind me, they sit this way. But the one who sits on this side, I have to be sure of you. That's what some moods are called. Dark moods. The dark moods are being transferred on all of us agumin. So that is an atmosphere. Now an atmosphere describes the distinctive quality quality. The quality of a place is defined by the atmosphere. A place changes in value by the atmosphere that is there. So abroad where there is a mountain, there is greater quality of atmosphere. Where there is a lake, there is a higher quality and where there is a sea, there is a high quality. So anybody who built a house, in fact areas has built its house on their highest quality because the atmosphere around the beach, around the lake, around the mountain, around trees. You see, a tree in the house in America can raise the price of the house by more than 10 to 20 thousand U.S. dollars just because there's a big grown tree in the house, because the tree changes the environment. Bush people are those who cut down trees. Bushmen just cut down trees. We just cut it now. So cut this down, it means nothing. You don't know how much the quality of the place changes. So you see, mountains like these were inhabited by the white missionaries. When they came, they came here. But we don't know the value of this place. White missionaries. If you just go a little further down the road, there's a cemetery for all of them. More, all the mountains are full of cemeteries of white German names. German. I've walked through the cemetery. I've walked through the cemetery in latte way up the mountain here you see German names, all Schwartz, Burger, something, whatever. They are all Germans, Swiss, Germans, Acropone across them, all missionaries, all they came here. This is valuable. The mountain is beautiful, the huge trees, if you look at you see some huge trees and growing and vegetation. It's quality. But you see there are some people who don't value such thing. So the beaches, beautiful beaches, don't even know what we have. It's used as a toilet. The next one, an atmosphere is the cracker at a place hand. OK, if you go to a discotheque of darkness and colored light, loud music, all those things make up the character of a disco tech or a yeah, one of those club places. OK so you see some people when they are painting their house, they go and buy blue and pink you see and as soon as you paint your house in blue, give blue and give paint, the value of the house goes down. But they don't know how the color you are painting the house changes then they'll say that but when you paint it to get that it just now. But if this whole place was color blue, deep blue by this color, this blue here, Tana, if the whole place was, you see, the whole place will look different. Yeah, very, very different. You see, So there are so many things that change the color, the character, the atmosphere. Yeah. So I'm going to show you by the time we finish, your room will change, your house will change. So many things will change because we are talking of the atmosphere, the character of the. You see, there are places where you go, you know that a white man has lived here immediately. So a white man lives here or has lived here before. And there are places you go, you know that Sansop have lived there. Yeah. When you enter Commonwealth Hall or Balta Hall and you see first of all when you enter the University of Ghana, you'll see how beautiful the layout is. So when you enter the halls and you start to see the character of the place has been changed by the polytanks and those things which other people have come to lower the quality because you should not see the source of water. You didn't see the tank abroad, There's no tank. See when you go to England, you will not see any polytan, nothing like that. There's nothing like that. The character of the place. When I first went to Water Hall and I passed through and I, I smelled the toilet. But you pass by, you smell urine during the smell of concentrated ammoniac. Ammoniac. That is what beats you before you meet all these beautiful girls who are in the hall. It's amazing. Yeah. And you stand and you see the character and the quality has come down by that smell that greeted you at the entrance. And you see all these things, you will not even get revelation when you are in such a place. You don't get the revelation. It's not an atmosphere or revelation. So that's what an atmosphere is. And you'll be surprised that all these things affect everything that we do. All right, The next one is the atmosphere. Is the general impression that you get in a place the general impression that you have? All right, It's the general impression you have of a place. Come to a place. You have a certain general impression. That general impression, you get it. It's the atmosphere the song has suggested. Riches, quality, prosperity, beauty, achievement, greatness. You have these feelings when you enter the place. So what feelings do we have when we enter your kitchen? A kitchen that you are operating in confusion. And you can have an idea of what kind of food is coming out of that place. That's why a lot of people don't eat everything that some people don't need. They'll know where, when. When Benny Hinn came to Ghana, he sent people to the kitchen, the kitchen Those security guards saw they, they came to the kitchen where we were going to step food. They came to inspect it themselves. We came to see where this stuff, whatever, before they would even allow him to be dished any food for him to even taste it. The next one is that it is the emotional tone. Emotional tone of a work of art is an emotional tone of a work of art. You see, every work of art brings an emotional tone. That is why hotels always, always have paintings or some kind of whatever in the hotel room. All have a certain type and they have a certain type of artwork. The artwork creates an emotional tone when you enter and emotions of calmness, homeliness, restfulness, qualities, expense, royalties are created to who you are welcoming. Yeah, we all have it. It's the emotional tone that is created by a work of art, by music. Music creates a certain emotional tone to a place. It's true. Are you there? Are you listening? All these are the atmosphere. Now as black people, we must be conscious of the atmosphere, including the natural atmosphere because see, the natural atmosphere causes us to be in a certain way. Now when you live in a place like the University of Ghana where they have toilets that do not flash and you have SOS, do you know SOS? Do you know SOS? Ask your neighbor what is SOS. Listen, listen, it will not help. Look, have you not noticed that people who come from different places are different? And you notice that all those who come from here are like this. All those who come from here are like this. All those who come from here are like this. So it's like the tomatoes that are grown from here are like this. The mangoes that come from here are like this. The pineapples that come from here are like this. So it's like the environment is producing a type of person. It's true. Many of my pastors have had to take them abroad over and over and over. Even the architects, those who did architecture, most of them, I can't work with them almost 100% I'm unable to work with them. It's only one, one or two. In fact, my engineer is even more of an architect than the architect they are. So they are so non architectural. So sometimes I ask them, I say do you not do art before you do architecture? I mean when you are going to do architecture, did some guy say whether you've done any kind of art? Isn't it? Yes and they are so unable you get it to do. I mean, the first time I suggested to an architect that I'm going to build something here, right? They said no, no, no, no. You see, it would be whatever. See, there's the mountain, the hill. Then I just took the architect, the architect that I work with, I said I'm going for a campus suit and come with me. And I told them I'll have the camp in the mountain. They have the place where they do it. So I went with him. He goes to the mountain. You see that the place steep like if the mountain, you see that the hall from half of the hall, then the mountain has started from here like this. Yeah. And the hall, the mountain is half is inside the mountain, see it is mountains and that they are full of houses. But our minds are just so narrow. So even when somebody is suggesting, so there are people who tell these tech architects, they tell them that look, you are used to as a draftsman, you cannot be, you are not an architect, you be a draftsman. And people who are experienced, they don't even use the method, they make it in their brain. It's not you who are coming to tell me what to tell or design it like this is what I say. I've built a lot of houses. It's not you are coming to come on, do it like this. This is what I say. They don't know much. So what I'm sharing with you, it's very important because many of us, we lack so much. They are so limited and you need exposure and environmental expansion of your thinking. It's true. Some of you ladies, I mean you have come out of a home of death and confusion in the kitchen. You see, we have types of kitchens. We have types of kitchens. There are kitchens where I myself will go cooking and doing themselves. That's one or two things I can cook. Yeah, one or two. Not many. One or two. That's true. What I can do, I do, but I need a certain environment in that environment so that I don't go there. I can't go to a kitchen where they just finished killing a chicken inside the kitchen, kill the chicken in the kitchen or kill the goat in the kitchen. It's a wrong that Muslim will not work for me. So you need, you need expansion. You need expansion of your mind. I'm telling you, you may not know, you may not. It really effects you. And so for some of us, you see, to be a total person, you are going to have to grow and develop. So as you come to church, you hear all these things you have to say, look, I want to learn, I want to learn. And when you see and learn, learn it and learn it well and let it enter you. Let's grow, develop, accept new things. I have different people that are with me. They learn different things. And I myself have been good. One day I was with somebody, he told me. I said, look, when you go somewhere and even you know certain kinds of food, it shows even where you are from. Yes, they will watch and see whether you eat what you eat, whether you know certain things. It's true. So I open your heart and your mind. So many of us from a wrong environment and God wants to upgrade you. Are you ready for an upgrade now? Without certain atmosphere, certain things will not come to you. That is the importance of the atmosphere. Turn with me to Revelations. Have you found Revelations? Go to Chapter 1. Listen, what is an atmosphere? Say it again. It's a pervading 1 is the one. It's a dominance. One mood. Wow, the next one, the one quality of a place is this. A quality place is this quality. You can see gradual the quality is coming. Even once it is being developed, you can see that the quality is coming. Yeah, next one, the character that I played has Wow, The next one, the general impression you have of a pretty. Yeah, the next one, emotional tone. OK. The next one is the physical surroundings. The physical surroundings is part of the atmosphere, physical surroundings. The next one is the level of death, of cleanliness, of a place. Death. Yes. Then the next one is the level of newness, or the level of oldness. So when a place is new, the newer a place is, the better the atmosphere in the places. Yeah, When you go to a place and the toilet is old or it's old, when you press play it goes down top and then pull the things or do some go and get some buckets, various things. The feeling that you have is a completely different feeling from something that is new. You just touch it that up all the things go away. So the level of newness and the level of or the level of oldness of the place. Yeah, in the level of cleanliness, the level of of death. So when you go to a place, I don't like hotels with carpets because a carpet has drank. Somebody's so many things. When you test, you see so many things are in the carpet. Oh yeah, people have vomited on it. People have. I mean, I don't want to say so many things are in it. Then atmos, if we have put a carpet here by now you will not be happy with the place. Yeah, as some of us told that when there's a carpet, there was a carpet in the house so that I've come to a nice St. and there was a carpet inside. The whole place is carpeted. The whole place is ready to soak so many things and have been soaking. All right. Now the next one is that it is the spiritual quality of the place, spiritual quality of the place, spiritual quality, so the natural quality and then the spiritual quality. So every place has both spiritual and natural, physical qualities, physical and spiritual, because they are also spirit and we are also physical. Now when a place is somewhere, it affects everything, natural and physical. That is why you will notice from our African environment, we have rarely invented anything. It's certain ideas don't even occur to us. Our mind doesn't reach there. That's why you need to travel. A person who has never traveled is not really educated. You can write it down as a person who has not traveled. It's not really educated. You need a travelling experience to make you rounded, well educated. I mean some of you. You have not been outside that crowd before now. John. Revelations chapter one verse 9 Atmosphere for Revelation. This is the atmosphere for Revelation. I, John, who also am your brother and companion in tribulation, and in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. What in the Isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. And I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet, saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the 1st and the last. What thou seeest, write it in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia. Amen. And I set to see there's two of the boys that speak with me. And when I came, I saw 7 golden candlesticks. Wow. And there began the Book of Revelation. Now you see that he didn't just tell us the revelation that he had, he thought that the atmosphere that he was in, do you understand? He told us the atmosphere that he was in before the revelation came because the atmosphere is very important and linked to the kind of revelation that he had. Today the island of Atmos is near Athens. Our ferries have go from the main ports of Athens to the island of Pathos and there are a lot of huge monasteries and cathedrals there because of John, in commemoration of John. So it's a place to tourists go to. I've never been there, but it's a famous place because of John. The place it's an island, it's right there. So one day we can go there, one day we can go there. I clean time. It was not you that I saw as you, I saw something in this area. You give me my personal bottle. I need one personal bottle of water. Is it? It's too. I need the hand. Very good. I don't have a problem. Look, if you don't want to be wet, I'm just promising you that I'm going to make you totally soaked. Yeah. Those who are there will be no message. So if you don't like fasting, you may move to the there's a sit at the back there, then lift it up so they can see that there's an empty chair. There's an empty chair by you there. There's a one year on there. Yeah. So all those I don't want you to change my message or shorten it or divert it, please. So, and after this, I'm going to fund you with Coca-Cola. You'll see that sugar is on your on your body. You'll see that sugar hands will bite you in the night. I need 1 bottle, 1 bottle of Coke. OK, after that, who's that? The band. I need one bottle, 1 bottle of Coke. Do I have a bottle of Coke there? Yeah. OK. So then after the break I'm going to find you with Coke. So now you see sugar coated. OK, back to the island. We are back on the island. We are in an atmosphere. It's an island atmosphere. It's an atmosphere for revelation, an atmosphere for being in the spirit. It's an atmosphere of the last day, not just an ordinary day. It's on the last day, yes, the last day. Not just every day. I was on an island and I was on an island. You see the sea. It's different. It's in, it's a certain atmosphere isolation. Yeah. So when you look at about the sudden atmospheres of Jesus, you see that Jesus always sought for sudden atmospheres. You see, going to the wilderness and in the desert place and in the mountains and by the sea and these kind of places, going into a quiet place. He was always moving the garden, not about the way he wants to go. They didn't just stay at the place where it was. This house was in Kapenum. When you go to Israel, you go to there and destroy a city. It's called, you say this is Kapenum. That is where his headquarters was, man. He wasn't staying there. If you see where there was on a very fast, you see the weather Mountain was fine and this was Jesus. It wasn't just in one place or there are different places. You need a certain atmosphere, both natural and spiritual. I, John, your brother and companion in tribulation and in the Kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ. I was on the Isle of Patmos on the Lord's Day in the Spirit. Then I heard a voice saying the things that you are going to see. Write it and send it. Write it in a book and send it to the churches. That's why I go to places to pray. You will not easily see me praying. Yeah. All through my life, I've always been going somewhere to pray. Yeah, I've always found different places. Go and pray. You may not know. Yeah, I have different places where I meet the Lord. Yeah, I have different. I meet the Lord. Amen. They are the most important places to me in my life. Yeah. And without those meetings and without those islands of Patmos, Patmos Islands, Gardens of Ketamini, without those mountains, after he went into a mountain to pray and continued there all night until the morning. Without that, there is no way you can have a certain kind of contact with God. Yeah, there is no way. Are you listening to me? Do you want to have revelation? Do you want to know God? Do you want to get closer to God? You want God to be your friends? You want God to speak to you? You want God to guide you? You want God to tell you what to do? Then find the island of Patmos. Yeah, Not as a tourist by your own Isle of Patmos, where you can serve the Lord. Find the Lord and you will be in the Spirit on the Lord's day and he will start to speak to you. Yeah. And what is this you must do? Amen. Are you listening to me? Yeah. You see, if you want certain results, you have to know that there are certain methods by which you are going to have those results. So you cannot just have God by being with, look at your room, your room, your room. How much can you pray in your room? Your room? How much can you pray in your room? I mean, let's be honest, in your house, when you go home to your house, how much space is there in your house? How many rooms are there? How many, how many people have a room to themselves? And even your room, you say be so hot you can't even stay there. So a lot of atmosphere there. The atmosphere will not even let you. Instead it will not let you be happy. So maybe your person, we are prayerless, prayerless. 00000 God must be sought in the atmospheres where he can be found. God must be sought in the atmosphere where he can be found. And if you are not prepared to seek God in the atmospheres where God can be found, then you don't understand God. Are you listening to me? Take your hand and ask God to guide you into such wonderful situations and atmosphere.
