I want us to lift our voices and thank God for the blessings that He has already given to us, the spiritual blessings that He has granted us. Lift your voice and thank the Lord.

Because this is not just any camp, but this is the camp that the Lord has prepared for you and for me, that we shall be blessed because there is a new army that the Lord is raising up. And thank God so much she will counted among that army. Why don't you lift your voice up? God has selected you to be a soldier in His army, to enjoy you, wanted to give you power, wanted to strengthen you before you go. He will not allow you to go just like that. Lift your voice and voice to go. Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Amen. How many of you already came through the presence of the Lord? Only three people. Listen, at every point you must be thankful. I'm telling you, don't think of the previous to determine what is coming to happen. Don't think that way. You must be thankful. And it's even a sign that you have the Holy Spirit in you whereby you not give thanks to God at certain times and at all times. That is why I want us all to lift our voices and thank the Lord. Don't feel so tired and feel so proud. Yeah, I'm telling you, Bishop is sharing something with us which is extremely practical. Most of us are yearning to be anointed, but inwardly inside, since it is still, I realize that pride, pride and evil eyes and evil thoughts alone. Forget about the anointing for now and work on those ones. I'm telling you. Yeah. And young ones, most of us are filled with pride. Yeah. I'm telling you, most of us are filled with pride now when they can easily come to you as a Christian. Yeah, especially if you do something you are known, Yeah, you can easily be thrilled with. Pride to be popped up. Yeah, but you just feel like a balloon, which will be put your best in just a second. If I'm saying I should lift your voice and thank the Lord know the essence of it because you have no idea. Yeah, you have no idea. You have no idea. Let your hands to God. Talk to your heavenly Father. He years to hear your voice. He yearns to hear your voice. He yearns to be close to you. Yes, he. Yearns to be close to you, he yearns. To be close to you, yes. He yearns to be close to you. Thank God his tears are not deaf. His hands are not short. That he cannot hear, that he cannot hear, that he cannot hear. It's. Simply because of pride. It's simply. Because of jealousy? It's simply because of evil. Eyes, it's. Simply because of certain. Things we don't even reference the process of the flood, and we are not so fearful. We are not fearful. We are not. Fearful lift. Your voice and talk to your Heavenly Father, Mama. Sharma Kaya baa ba ba ba. Let. Your voice is just, and let your prayers rise up like an incense. Let prayers rise up like an incense to God because I believe that God would act here for a purpose. And at every point in time, He want us to be thankful. He want us to be grateful. We cannot delete. That's what we must always go to, the realization that we must thank the Lord at every point in time. That is why I warn you. So lift your voice to heavenly Father. Lift your voice to your heavenly Father. And thank you for such a privilege. Thank you for such a privilege. Thank you for such a blessing in the name of Jesus. Oh God, oh Lord. Lord, we thank you for what we are hearing. Lord, we thank you for what we are hearing. Is the name of Twitter because that is where you want to director of Twitter. IO. Hello. Let your voice to go. Mayo. Fire, fire, fire, fire. The. Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah. Listen, Listen carefully every time. You must remember that Christianity, it is not a joke. It is extremely spiritual, Yeah, If the Bible says that we should not be conformed to. This. World, you have no idea. Because we think the same way. The world thinks. We think the same way. People don't know God think the same way. The same way. That even our friends cannot even differentiate us from those that we think that we are not even saved. I thank God for making it possible for me to be here. You have no idea. I'm telling you, if you have really seen that it is really a battle ahead because you cannot just win souls with the with your, with your English soul, with your grammar. You think with your grammar you can win. People forget it if. Jesus told the people. To go and wait for their promise, if Jesus told them go and wait for their promise, the Holy Spirit before you can even go out and start doing something. This, this one. That was the main thing God said to me, that this camp is a preparation camp. Because most of us, honestly speaking, we did not even do anything to go and start a church this semester. What did you do? Yeah, I'm not. I'm Adam. Yeah, I'm praying because just yesterday when I was coming, one of my church members told me that she has made herself up fully. Yeah, I thought by telling you. But she's she's spiritual. She is a spiritual person, but it's even that person could come and tell me that this vacation, I messed myself up. Yeah. And that was what took me into Bishop's book. Spiritual Strange Women. Yeah. Spiritual strange women. I'm telling you. Yeah. Thank God for this. Wise as serpents. You have no idea. So as your Prince some of you are talking about. I feel so. Bad if I should tell you that I should mention and I stop talking and pray. I feel bad because I don't know, but I I will feel bad if I should mention and baby stop talking and be praying. I feel bad. But if you really have an understanding of prayer, nobody will be telling to pray. Nobody won't be coming here. Everybody will start lifting their voice and be praying to God. I'm telling you, this army is going to be empowered. Yeah. This army, everybody, they are going to be empowered. Yeah. God is going to fill us with his Holy Spirit. Yeah. We are not going to slap. We are not going to backslide. I'm telling you. Because. Most people are just dying. Most people are just perishing. Yeah. And we know. We know the. Gospel, but we don't. Even have the edge to talk to someone about Christ. But we know. I was talking to doctor Abby last Sunday, but something when we are on campus, we are on fire for God. But at home, Shelley, we think that the ministry is just campus. But at home, you know someone with a bad. Person at home. And you think that your? People are the only. People on campus going to their world. It's not just campus at all. Sit in your house. I'm telling you, the Bible says that the righteous are as. Bold as. Lions if you are not. Bold you cannot snatch. The people, I'm telling you, if you're going to take it, the devil that will snatch you. Because there are some homes in you. There are some spaces in you and the Bible says that give no place to the devil. Yeah, give no place that you have no idea. Pride, pride, pride. You just lift you up and then release you. You come and fall down just like that. You'll be broken into pieces. You have no idea. I'm telling you. Have a certain mind. What our Father is teaching us. Have a certain mind. Don't be laughing. Don't be laughing, let me do it. Certain things and you should, you should study and then at the point it changes. But at the point it changes, I don't know. People are so sensitive to that one. You know what I'm saying? Pray you think I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm worrying you. I think so if you think that the guy standing here serving wanted to be here. That's what goes in. That's what goes on in your mind. Yeah. That's what I want to talk to you about. The evil souls alone. So that's about the anointing. Yeah. Belittleing people. I'm telling you, you can be nice outside, but in. What leads you are? Nothing. You are nothing the God really help us. I'm telling you, God help us. God help us. I'm sorry. I'm sorry for saying this. OK, I'm. Sorry. Oh, bless her. Jesus bless her. Jesus bless her, Jesus, every single person over here, close your eyes. Close your eyes and see yourself standing in the dark, holding the torture.

US 25 years. Ago this. Was the same way. We also started 25 years from now. Let's praise to God. That we will still be found in the faith. 25 years. To come. Let it not be. That you would have been somewhere and you will say that you don't know God. And we always think that it is the whites who are atheists. We always say that the whites have said that they don't believe in God. I don't think that you. Are standing to uprise you. Nothing can move you. Nothing that way. Yeah, nothing that you are strong and nothing can move you. Yeah. Listen, most of the time we deceive ourselves, thinking that some small tanks that you can speak. And some small. Word. That you have it is enough. You think it's OK? Yeah, Most of us, we are not even prepared. We are not even prepared before you go to preach. We used what we know already. But God wanted you to speak something different. He wanted to speak to you and. He thought you knew. Some scriptures and you could speak. In tongues and your. Tongues are so powerful, yeah, then. There will be no need. For the Bible to tell us that we need to renew our mind, He. Says that we. Knew your mind What do you renew your mind with the word of God so. I think you know. One or two scriptures that when it starts something you can do drunk broadcasting and sweat. So you think you have done it. Yeah. OK. Colossians 316. The Bible says that that we should be filled with the Word of God teaching and admonishing. Some people will teach. Them other people, we admonish them. Those who know already, we admonish them. Those who don't know, we teach them. So first we are. We are so we. Are so proud. We are so if only we could. Just divide your energy to and see the things inside we will see and project it on the wall we will see. Listen. I I have decided to make myself into the lowest kind of human beings and be respectful to people. Yeah. You may not know my. Age. I may not know your age. I cannot come to you to that. I am this years old. Obey me. I can't come and. Say that you are this year old so that you obey me. I'm telling you, hey. Don't be deceived though. Don't be deceived a bit. In this life. That you have gotten there. You have gotten. There you. Want to be a? Missionary ask help you by this message will always be with me. If you want to be a missionary, you don't even know the attributes of God. They don't need you, they need God. If you're not ready to go and preach God to them, you're going to preach yourself to them. Forget it and sit in your room. That's why we. Need to study to show ourselves approved we need to. Meditate. On God's Word day and night, Mark Chapter 7. Listen to Mark 7. Quickly verse 21, but from within. Out of the. Hearts of men proceed evil thoughts. This should be a memory vest. Today should memorize this vest. From. Within, out of the hearts of men, proceed evil thoughts. How many of you evil thoughts come out of your mind? We are Christians, all but evil thoughts. Evil thoughts When someone is doing something we despise, we undermine and we despise. We mock other. People in our heads, we write down the wrong things that they have done. We write them down. And we discuss. Them. Thinking that we know evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication is that we know them, but evil thoughts. You may think. I don't have evil thoughts. You always. Look at fornication. Adultery to judge yourself. You don't do them, so you're free. You're clean. Self convertiousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness and evil eye blasphemy. My favorite is the next one.

Just given to us so we can pray and then get to that point. And you must have a certain understanding, yeah, that you are building yourselves up. I'm telling you this, young generation, God loves us. God loves us. That's. Why our father can sometimes put certain things down and organize a camp for us. Because it does. Not want us to be shallow people. Yeah, and in Ezekiel. 33 verse 31 The Bible says that they come, they sit down, they hear. But one thing they don't do yeah, they come, they sit, they hear the word that has been told them that they don't do. We. Want to do Hallelujah we. Want God to replace? All these evil things, blaspheming, deaths, covetousness, pride, we want God to replace them with the fruits of their spirit. The fruits of their. Spirit you have. No idea. Love, love. I mean, most of us, we don't love. We don't love hatred, hatred, hatred. I won't go to fill us with the fruits of the Spirit less than the Galatians high. Let's read the scriptures. The Bible says that. If anyone hates his brother, that person is a murderer, but that person can be a preacher. It's a preacher. Murderer because you hate. Nature that is always there, we hate. We hate, we hate and we despise. And we undermine people, they are on top and we are removing the sand under them. We are undermining them. We want them to fall there. We can laugh at them. If this can even happen among Christians, among Christians, because when he read with John his book, he said that so that even there will be a conflict between a pastor and a church member. A pastor. And another pastor. Because it's working. In our midst. It's in your mind. That you'll not be on good terms with someone. But you're all Christians, you're all praying, Shabala ba ba ba. So I'll pray, but deep down it is hatred. Hatred. Never say he died. He has no place in the Kingdom. So you can be. Preaching powerfully, but if you hate, we must learn to walk in love. We must ask God to teach us how to walk in love. Young ones there are problems are pride, pride, pride, pride, pride. Pride. And despise it, I won't go. To fill us the fruits of the Spirit, Hamlet won't go. To feel the fruit of the Spirit. I won't go. Call on God, right? Right now, call on God, tell, tell him to feel him with the Spirit, the Spirit, the fruits of the Spirit, that you will love, that you will love, that you will love, and you will not hate. She will.
