Welcome to track #8 of the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit. The next one, the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit on your talents and abilities. Now some of the talents or abilities that we have, we often think they are like kind of natural. Do you understand me? Like we think they're kind of natural, something just that just happened natural. But I tell you, many of them are not natural. They are actually from the Holy Spirit. I believe that many of the artists. Whom? We have heard about and whom we have known about, who we talked about were given gifts by the Holy Spirit. Yeah, but they, they used those gifts for the world. I believe that. So those of you who can sing, because I Can't Sing the way these people sing. I can't. I I do not. I would. I wish I could. Because if I could, I would sing every time I'd preach. I would sing. Yeah, I'd preach. When I get to the point, I start singing. So instead of going around with a singer, I'll go around with instrumentalists. Yeah. So when I get to a point, then I just stop. Then I sing and wow. I mean, how nice it would be. It would be just supernatural. Supernatural. Are you understanding me? But the Holy Spirit has not seen it fit to give that to me. You can choose to believe what you believe. Like for instance, this world. You know when I saw that snake here, Why don't you open the windows? What's the problem? Ghana girls have closed it. Always feeling cold. We come out in the mountains. Why don't you open the window? What? The use of being here without experiencing the coolness, The sweet influences of the coolness. Are you cold over there? Come to the front. Come sit here. Come. Two of you. Come here. 2 of you now come here. Somebody gets ready to pour some water. And somebody bring your chairs. There's no chairs here. Whose chair did you want to? Who did you want to display? Ghana boy is helping. It's just amazing. See, I have called Bezalil. See, I have called Bezalil my name, Exodus chapter 31, verse #2. See, I have called by name Bezalil, the son of Uri, the son of Ur of the tribe of Judah, and I have filled him with the Spirit of God. Wow. In wisdom and in understanding and in knowledge and in all manner of workmanship. To devise cunning works. To work in gold and in silver and in brass and in cutting of stones and to set them in carving of timber and to work all manner of workmanship. I'm sure, I'm sure Bezalel was a Carpenter or a project manager or a steel Bender or a Mason. And I'm sure you said I went to such and such masonry school, I went to such and such Polytechnic. I did building technology and IT. But the Bible tells us the truth. What happened? He said. I have filled him with the Spirit of God in all wisdom and understanding in all these works. So you need to recognize the sweet like I never knew that I was a leader. Never. I've never, I never knew that I was a leader. No one ever called me a leader. No one ever appointed me a leader in primary school. I went to Chrysler King School. I was never appointed a leader. Yeah, I was never appointed a class prepaid, assistant class prepaid, even the blackboard monitor, I was never given that appointment in, in, in secondary school. I was never given any leadership position in any class ever. Unless I can't remember, but I cannot remember any. And then when I when it was time to be made a prefect, I was not given a post even though I campaigned because I really wanted to sit on the high table because they had different food and, and and they don't. They normally gave made you a prefect when you are from the school. And I was from the school. I was from Achimoto school from 1:00 to 5:00, and I was in sixth form. Yeah. And just out of the hole from 5, only maybe two or three people come to sixth form, because the sixth form is only about eight people, seven or eight of them in sixth form in the House. Yeah. So out in the western compound, we're just like 7 here, 7 there, something like that. And out of us we have to choose prefects. And I should have been chosen. And I was. I was not sure. I campaigned, I did what I tried to do, and I wasn't sure. House prefect, prep prefect, dining hall, prefect, compound, senior senior prefects for the school. Nothing. DSP. That was what we had on the West. DSP deputy senior prefect for the West. Nothing. Never. Then in the Scripture Union, I should have been one of the leaders, but I was not made a leader. Yeah, they chose all the positions, president, vice president, prayer secretary, financial secretary, treasurer, prayer secretary, everything, and they did not choose me. 7 Always we had seven or eight, always they had seven, and they chose all of them. Then it was art and everybody else was made a leader, and then I was made prayer secretary. West. They created a new thing and put me in there. Yeah. Then I joined a group called Calvary Rd. That's where I had them singing. The group that I had that song. So friends, don't think you are alone, for Jesus died for you too. Listen, the group that I had that song, and The Who the group that I had say unto the. A new song to that. I had that song. A group that I had a song. God has called us to his background. You can't go without salvation. They never recorded it, so they don't even respect it themselves. Yeah. A group that I had. Take up your cross follow. Me deny yourself not not only not only the group that I had. I was there the day the the the one who composed it came to teach us. He said he came. He came. I said I have a new song and he played every instrument. He said Sam sat behind the keyboard, said play like this. I was playing the keyboard. Some other guys, two were two of us and so this is. What you should play He showed that bass guitar, he showed that drama, everything. Then he taught all the parts. And he says if any man wants to come after me, I will receive him in peace to my rest. Only he should know that any man who holds the plow and looks like he isn't fit for my Kingdom. Living for Jesus isn't easy, but God has promised to sustain. Don't be afraid, for He is faithful. Wow, I was there, now yourself. He can't be taught us. He taught us how to play. That group, I've been I was in the group in that group for as long as whatever they never appointed me as any form of fashion of leader in the group. Yeah, till I left. Any time I became a leader in that organization, I formed a group. Like I formed a group on leg on campus and I formed the group. So I was the leader. Then I went to Colibu and I formed the group and I was the leader. So I I never knew that I had I had a gift to live. I believe that every ability is from the Holy Spirit and people are given those abilities by God and Bazalil had it. So you need to check up what abilities you have. Yeah, because it's from the Holy Spirit that you can choose to use it or lose it or use it for the devil. But I believe it's from the Holy Spirit. I believe that Michael Jackson had a gift. From the Holy. Spirit. Yeah, to sing. And he used it for the world. Whitney Houston, I believe she had a gift. I don't. I don't know. I don't know her and I don't know what song she sang. I don't even know a single song that she sang. But I believe she had a gift from the holy. She was great. Yeah. I believe Lionel Richie had a gift. Hello. Is it me you're looking in my eyes? Sing it. Tell. Me how to win your heart because I don't know what to do and I just want to say I love. You, we had a gift and you see, you sense they are tracing the the consciousness of God. Even Michael Jackson, when he did the film trailer, he wrote on it. Due to my strong religious convictions, I do not believe in the occult or anything like that. He wrote it before the film started. Thriller. Yeah. And Lionel Richie, he composed the song Jesus is Love. And when Michael Jackson died at Michael Jackson's funeral, he was called to sing any song. Jesus is love at Michael Jackson's funeral. You see, the God part is not far, especially with the black people. They were down and under. Yeah, God bless them. So that made me respect Andrew Crouch even more. I realized that he was just one of the many black people whom God gave a gift. To. But he he. Uses his. I've never had any halfway song. By Andrew Crouch No, no, no, no, no. No, his songs are clear. There's no crossover appeal at all. It's Christian song. And when Michael Jackson, he said, I see, I see Michael Jackson as a son. And when Michael Jackson died, he he sang and Brie Craft sang at Michael Jackson's funeral, at the opening song, and he sang. Soon and very soon, we are going to see the king. Soon, and very soon, we. Are it's one of the best funeral songs you can have. No more crying there. We are going to see the king. No more crying there. We are going to see the king. No more crying there. We are going to see the king. Hallelujah, Hallelujah we are. It's one of the best funeral songs. No more dying there. We are going to see the king no more die in there. We are going to see the king no more die in there. We are going to see the king. Oh Hallelujah. You feel the ghost pimples. It's one of the best funeral songs. No more sorrow. There we are going. To see the King. No more sorrow there, we are going to see the King. No more sorrow there, we are going to see the King. Wow. Hallelujah, Hallelujah we. Are going to. See. What did you do with your gift? You thought it was a funnily ability. You thought it was genetic. What you can do that some people cannot do, You have assumed that it is a genetic or some other kind of feeling that you have. You are joking. Exodus 28 And thou shalt speak unto them that are wise hearted. In whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may make Aaron's garments, sewing, sewing, sewing to consecrate him. Doctor Ghose, Seamstress, Designer. That he may minister unto me in the priest S office. Thou shalt speak. Unto them who are wise hearted, whom I have filled with the spirit of wisdom, that they may. Make Aaron S Garments the Carpenter and the Nation and the Project Manager and the seamstress, the Taylor filled with the spirit of wisdom to sow Aaron's garments. Those of you who can hear music, you know I never I, I. You know, I, I, I, I understand. Music A. Little differently as I keep going on. One day I heard Helen Baylor giving a testimony and she said, you know, she was in the world and she used to sing in nightclubs and so on. Then she explained why it was working in the nightclubs. She said I was fast, I was good. That's what she said. I was fast, I was good. I always remember that I was fast because you see, there's speed in the ability to learn a song. It's part of the being a good singer. The slower you are to learn a song, Juicy reveals a lesser musical gift. Yeah, that is why when I gave you the songs the first time, the stars, I gave them songs and I came the the next week. They didn't know the songs. Some were holding sheets of paper. Some could not remember, Some didn't know the way the song was going. But I remember Ida when I met her, when I gave on Sunday, I told her Sunday. I said, do you think you can sing this song? She said I can sing it. I said, can you sing? Can you learn it? And. She said I will let. I can Tuesday, isn't it? You sang for me on a Tuesday. Sing what? You sang for me. Come stand here. She, I gave it to her. I gave her the CD on Sunday. And then on Tuesday she came to sing. She stood there in front of the whole church and she sang it. The. Jesus, lover of. My. Soul. Let me to thy boozer fly while the mirror. Waters rose. And while The Tempest still is high, hide me old high. Save your high till the storm of life is past. Save into thy haven, guys, or receive my soul I. Hello, still support and comfort me all my trust on these days, all my help from thee. Fantastic. Is it fantastic Even so, all those. So I believe the Holy Spirit put a gift in Ida. She's fast. Put a gift in Danny Boy. He's able to play it what I want all the time. Yeah. Yeah, it's wonderful. But what will you use it for? What will you use it for? That is the abilities. Because, you see, you have to believe that the Holy Spirit gave it to you. So I believe the Holy Spirit had given me the ability, certain abilities, Amen. Look at Genesis 41 and you notice the Spirit. The Holy Spirit. Is not helping people to be seamstresses and tailless? And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Where can we find such a one as this, A man in whom the Spirit of God is? And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, For as much as God has showed thee all this, there is none so discreet and wise as thou art. Thou shalt be over my house, and according to thy word shall all my people be ruled. Only in the throne will I be greater than thou. Can I find somebody in whom the Spirit of God is? And the Spirit of God gives people the ability to be leaders. So God has put in me the ability. The ability to be a leader and that ability I could choose to be a leader in so many different spheres. I remember one time I went to have a crusade in Tacorati and there was a gentleman who belonged to the CPP party and he was related to some relatives of mine and he spoke to some relatives and said man. I came to the crusade and I saw the organization, I saw the crowd. I mean, if this guy was to be part of the party, I mean, he would be able to help and be able to do so many things. But I'm sorry, Mr. CPP, my gift is not for CPP. My gift is not for CPPPPPPPNPP or NDC or DDT. I'm using it for Jesus. All. The way to my last day, no crossover appeal. My gift is for him. Who gave it? Andre Crouch. When he was interviewed, he said It's far the whole what did he say? His father said to him, if God gives you a gift, will you use it for him? And he said I will. And his father said receive your son and said his father said his father. Come tell me you interviewed Andre. Did you interview Andre Crouch? Come here, my dear. Yeah, she interviewed Andre Crouch. Did you speak to him personally? They went, his father went to preach in a church. There was no one to play the piano. So his father called him and said, if the Lord gave you the gift to play the piano, would you use it for his service? Then he said he would. So he laid hands on him and he prayed for him and said, receive the gift. And from there, he said, sit behind the piano and play. And he played. He had a pop. The Pop. In his ear and from there he could hear all the notes. Music. There's something called hearing, you see. If you do music. For instance, the music exam OK, they they will, they will play apart from playing. Can I come this way? Apart from playing, They'll play something and then ask you to sing it, sing you, sing it. Not everybody can sing that. I see. Yeah. Another one. Something like that. And it takes a particular year. All right, glory be the God. Is it fantastic? Is it amazing? Is it supernatural? And then you can hear and there are people you can sing to them. Sing this after me, Jesus the lover of my life. And they say Jesus the lover of my life. No, no, no, no. Say Jesus the lover of my life, Jesus the lover of my life. Look, it's like this. Jesus. The lover of my life. Jesus. The. Of my life, So you see, you may never know limited that these things which are natural are gifts. Pop pop. And you can hear, you can sow, You can act. You can speak. You can preach. You can lead. You can sing. You can organize many things you can do. God gave it to you. Our people don't know that is the Holy Spirit who gave them a sweet influence. Put that on you. So you, you, you don't joke. So I believe that I have a little bit of musical gifts, and that little bit part of it is organizing them. Even song choosing is also a gift. Yeah, and knowing what people can do and what makes them nice and good. This is a small, small one. Yes, that's the small one. I can, I can add. So I'm careful to use it because if God gave you 10 talents, it's going to judge you for 10. It's not going to say, look, the judgment only concerns 3 talents. I mean, when you do physics, there's nuclear, light, electricity, mechanism, and when you go, the exam is only on nuclear and light. Hey, why 10 talents exams on 10 talents? So if you are a singer, you are going to have examination on 10 talents including singing talent. Not only pastoral talents, you are going to have your exam on music as well. You wait till you get to heaven thinking that your things are just going to be shepherding. Have you been doing your art of shepherding and so on. So I want you to respect these gifts and I, I want you to never use your gift for the world. You know, if I was, if I was using my, my talent, I could use my talent for Barclays Bank to make Barclays Bank the greatest bank in Ghana. Like as a leader, the chief executive, I'll make Barclays Bank the greatest bank in Ghana. Or. I could use my talent to make an NPP the greatest party ever in the history of Ghana. Yeah, or I could use my talent. To. Build a business, do you get it, that deals with medical equipment, The greatest business ever to exist in Ghana. Or I could. Build the best private hospital ever to be built in Ghana. Or I could. Use my leadership. Skills for so many. Different things, but I, I prefer to use my leadership gifts. It's, it's, it's a, it's an endowment. It's, it's, it's a blessing. And I, I, I thank God for the opportunity to use it in the House of the Lord. What do you think? Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? Now what do you think you can do for the Lord? What do you think you can do? What special talent do you have? Now, those of you who dance, where's Mark? Come give me a little dance, boy. Give me a little dance. Wow, wow, wow, wow. Where, Where? Where the? What, what? What group was that? The last? The last dances. That went out of the. What are they called? Was it lizardo or coup makers? Come and do that for me. Or you need the music. Are you the lizardo or you are the dreadful noise coup makers? Hills on wheels. Wow. OK, do. Let's see. Jim. The. Wow. What a gift. Can you remember how to do all these things? I mean after three. Seconds. You cannot know what you are doing next. Hey, there's a gift. Yeah. It's also a Grease. Amen. Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? I am very sure that if You Can Dance like that. You can easily get a job. Is it? That is what I. You see, when you have a gift, it pays for itself. Yeah, it pays for itself. That's how gifts are. Gifts can look after you. Yeah. You see, one day a certain rich man, he went out onto the sea and he was in a boat, and some pirates came and they caught him and the others, and they brought them to the land and put them in a prison. You see this man was a rich man and he was, he was, he was his. His gift was painting. So the pirates who had caught him, they considered him as one of the common people, and they had him there in the prison and his hands were retired. So the painter, what he did was one day he was seen whatever way he could get free. He took Taco and painted the chief pirate on the wall, the one who had caught him. So when the guy. Came and he saw, he said. What? He said. Oh yeah, I'm an. Artist And so the guy was amazed and he said I needed to do paintings for me. So they released him from the place to come and do the paintings. And it's like they do the paintings and he set him free and he did the paintings and he was set free. Yeah, you see, your gift can make a room for you somewhere. What these guys did, you cannot do it. I cannot do it. One day I was trying to dance in a church and a certain sister, she made a certain comment after I finished dancing. And since that day, all my dancing skills are finished. Oh Ghana girls. From that time I developed a complex sequence the dancing skills. So when I see this dancing, I say wow, what a beautiful doll. How many want to see the dance again? I think so. We should see it again before we go. It's too fantastic. Hey, how many are surprised at this Holy Spirit? When we take a song like We are the Church, we are just. Saying that you misuse the gift, use it for the wrong thing. So we are just correcting the misalignment of that song. The song was misaligned in the wrong direction. You just bring it by, realigned it. The song was given to you to minister to millions, Yeah. And to change. Lives, so we are realigning the song back to its original purpose. Hallelujah are. You there you are going home. Influence the sweet influences of the Spirit on your willingness and eagerness. Now, somebody who is willing and eager, you may think it is because he is just naturally flowing, but you're going to find out. That it is the presence of the Holy. Spirit that makes people eager and flowing and wailing. Wow. Exodus 35 verse Exodus 35. Glory thy God and they. Came. Exodus 35, Exodus 35. I think we should read from a little before Exodus 35. Glory thy God. OK and Moses got this one. Gather the children, the five. Take you. And Moses speak to the congregation, saying, This is the commandment of the Lord. Take from among you an offering unto the Lord. Whosoever is of a willing heart, let him bring it an offering of the Lord. Gold, silver, brass, purple, scarlet, blue, fine linen, goat's hair, ramskin, dyed red, badger skins and shitting wood and oil for the light, and spices for the anointing oil and the sweet incense and Onyx stones and stones to be set for the effort, and the breastplate. And every wise hearted among you shall come and make all that the Lord commanded. And the Tabernacle is 10. His coverings, there's 12. The ark, there's 10. In the table there's four. In the Candlestick there's 15. The incense, all the there's 16. The all the burnt offerings, verse 17. The hangings of the court, verse 18. The pins of the Tabernacle, verse 19. The clothes of the service, there's 20. And all the congregation of the children of Israel departed from the presence of Moses, verse 21. Verse 21. And they came, They came everyone whose heart stared him up, and everyone whom his. Spirit. Made willing, the Spirit made him willing, and they brought the Lord's offering to the work of the Tabernacle of the congregation. And for all his. Service and for all the government and they came, both men and women. And as many as. Were willing hearted. They brought bracelets and earrings and rings and tablets. And every man. Offered an offering of gold unto the Lord. Wow, look at this 21 And they came, everyone whose heart stirred him up. Wow, is it not amazing? Is it not fantastic? Home is spirit. Now that spirit, some people think it's the spirit of the person, but it's also the spirit of God because you can't tell we spirit it is right spirit. Big or small, it's up to them, but the Spirit of the Lord has made him willing. Not touch the heart to be willing to be flowing, yes. So flowing people are people that are interested sometimes the spirit. Makes you like. Something makes you flow, makes you agreeable, makes you flowing, makes you so many of you. You see young people, you are flowing. Many of you are flowing. And the reason is because of the sweet influence of the Spirit. Now, as time goes by, things are going to offend you. And so through the offense and the hat. OK, the Holy Spirit will be leaking out and the influence. Of the Holy Spirit will be replaced by influence of evil spirit and earthly and sensual spirit. So you see that you are not so flowing as you get older. You are not so eager. You may say what a shock you will say. You may say what a shock, but you will not shock, say what a shock. You say what a shock, but. Because if I say what a shock in the kodesh, what I say what a shock did they just look at it? But if I say over here what a shock, it's like an explosion and an abso shock. Yeah, you are willing, because the Holy Spirit is. But I I do not think, I do not think that you you need to be because I'm almost 50 years old. Yeah, I'm almost 50 years old. And I can still shock. So I, I I do not believe that you. Need to freeze up. Just because you are a few years older than 25. Yes. Whom his spirit made willing. Whom is Spirit made willing? The Spirit made him willing, The Holy Spirit made him willing, the Holy Spirit made him eager. And you'll notice when people are cool when you say. What it shows they look there's another. Spirit in them. There's another spirit in them. Careful now there's another. Spirit, A cool spirit. A spirit of assessment, a spirit of questioning, a spirit of Are you sure? A spirit of analysis. Now, one day. Moses had an idea and he said, you know what? We've come out of Israel. All so many people have died since I became the leader. Yeah. So many people have died since I became the leader. And have an idea and the people said what is your idea? He said come, come, give me another microphone, one more and he said look, look through his binoculars. What do you see? What do you? See there? Can't you see the city with the wall? I do, I see the city was a wall. You see the city. Was a wall. Very high wall. Most of them have an idea I want. Us to invade that city. I know that we are farmers, we've been farting by the river now, but I want us to invade that city and break down the walls. What do you think? Look again and the guy says Are you sure? Let's see, Look at it. Can you see? Yes. I do see it. Is it big? It's big. Big How are the walls like? That's so huge. So huge that people's houses are in the walls because rehab was living in the wall. Remember a wall? Was a house wall. Was a house houses huge tall gate houses. That's where I have the idea to do the kodesh the the wall is the house and 12 spice cap 12/12/12 how many do we have? 1-2 Look, you see, can you see? Can you see? And you know what time I'm done with thinking this man is? Crazy. This guy is going to kill all of us. He's going to get all of us killed. Look at that. We have service. We were slaves. We have no equipment, we have no weapons, we have nothing. Look at the idea that he's bringing up and he's sending us to our death. You see this is. How people are negative. But I want you to know there was a guy called Caleb. And where is Joshua? I need a Joshua. Is there any Joshua here? Come, Joe, you sit down, man. You are not Joshua. I need a Joshua and a Caleb. That's why a lot of people name their children Joshua and Caleb, because they have something different. Do you want to know what? Something different. Do you want to know what? Something different. Wow. Then I want you to turn with me to Numbers Chapter 14. Truly. Have I lived? As I'll be filled with the glory of God. Verse 22. Because all those men which have seen my glory and my miracles, which I did in Egypt and in the wilderness, and have tempted me now these 10 times, and have not hacking unto my voice, surely they shall not see the land which I swear unto their fathers, neither shall any of them that provoked me see it that. That that was 24 my servant Caleb, because 1 he had another spirit, another spirit with him. Not that he was a different person, but there was another spirit with him. That gave him a different attitude toward the idea that had just come. He had a different spirit. God bless with him. He was. They have a different. You preach. And you see this one has a different spirit. This one has a different spirit. And this one is eager. Yeah. Let's go. We can do it. Why not? Let's try it. Why don't we go? We can go. Let's do it now. Why not? I We have. It's a good idea. And why not? He had a different spirit and has followed me fully. Whom will I bring into the land? And He? Said It's a different spirit. You are dizzling with people with different spirits a #13. The Bible says that they told him we came to the land, but our. Centers. Are these these 12? People, and the people are. Strong, you know. And the Malachi fella in the South. Jebusite, I'm all right. They are in the. Mountains canonized up by the sea, and there's no way as far from the sea or the mountains in the plains. I'm all right here, the Jebusite says Malachi. I'll be telling it's very dangerous. It's very dangerous, these ideas you have suicidal ideas, you won't get us all killed. Let's study. But Caleb? Steal the people. You see, every time you make a speech, God hears you every time you speak in your room with people. Groups of people and you say something, you stand up and you say, listen, this, this, listen, this, this, listen, this, this, this, this. I don't think it's a good idea. Every time there's a meeting, you get up and you contribute. God hears your contribution and see the spirit that you bring to the meeting, the spirit that you bring to the whole idea that has come onto the table. What you say? Caleb got up and said. Steal the people in front of Moses? They was not the leader, he's a man's go up at once and process. We are able. Don't talk about morite in the sea, Amalekite in the mountain, Debusite on the plane, This one here, this one here site. So I've listed all these problems, mountain problems, this. When we go to the mountain, we will die. When we go by the sea, we will die. When we go by the plane, we will die. There's every problem there. But the man that went up with him said no, no, no, no. They had another. Spirit, we cannot. Sorry, that's a bad idea. That's why I called you Come. Look, what do you see? Huge wall. Huge wall of what? Of. Houses, Can you see people coming in? Around Giants. Giants, is it a bad idea to go there? A. Bad idea, Kenneth, What do you think? What do you think? Is it a good idea or a bad idea? A. Great idea, A great idea, a great idea. Don't you think we're going to die? Oh. No, we can take it. We're well able. We can. We are able. Different spirit and see God hears all these meetings comments. That you make. One day I went to preach somewhere. When I finished preaching, a pastor took my book that I preached from and he stamped the book with his leg and a pastor was describing it to me. He said he stamped it like this. He kind of a. Forward kick like this and S, he's disturbed. So he threw it on the floor and he stamped and another passer standing by said that that was the leg that was cut off because that leg was cut off. Yes, yes, yes. A person standing by. He just made a book. There were three of us and he was describing it and he said he stumbled and the person was he stumbled and said, yeah, he said that was the leg that was cut off. Cut off the leg you see. All the things. That we are saying and the things that we are doing. Killeth stood up and spoke that way. God had it too, so later on this one is number 13. But killer that speech. That he made. That speech when he spoke at the meeting, he has a different spirit altogether. That thing that he said he's the only person who I'm allowed to go. So then whatever that thing that he said after I heard it, God, he hears the things when the thorough Phoenician woman said, when the woke finds thorough Phoenician, Jesus told you are I cannot give my bread to dogs. She said I have said I'm a dog but deep in the dogs. And Jesus says I thought this by saying this thing that you said, but we have to be very careful when we are speaking. Jesus appeared to carry a take and he told him, he said last week you were talking with some people and you told them that you were a teacher and a prophet. He said, when I heard it, I realized you have misplaced your callings. That is why I've allowed your hand to be broken. Yes. You said last week you were meeting. With some people, you told them that you were a teacher and a prophet. If I was you, I'll be afraid. Even when you are talking, God hears you. Start complaining, Start saying this, this, this, that. He has it, He has it. So you have to be careful. The person said that. Was the leg, but they cut. They cut it off. Zebra Caleb, he had a different spirit with him, but my servant Caleb, numbers 1424, because he had another spirit with him. The effect of the influence of the spirit on your eagerness and your willingness as people become less eager, less willing, less flowing, less ready to go on missions, less ready to go anywhere, for that matter, less ready to do anything. Any new idea anyone ever as they become more that way? Less and less. Of the Holy Spirit influences on their lives, that's what. What else do you want in Ghana? Ghana. There's church everywhere. There are places there's no church couldn't do. Once again we have to go. The world is shutting down in by seasons. The season will come that Ghana gospel may not work. Yeah, as it has come in many places that the gospel is not working. But there are places where the door is open currently, where the gospel is working and can work but they need laborers. There are places we cannot go. I will not advise you to go to Abuja. I will not advise you to go to the north of Nigeria. It's a no go area now. Yes, these are places, but maybe for now, Syria may be open here may be open. Here they go and it clamps. Down at the point. The season, because Jesus said after the season sentence God has placed it in his hand. If you go to Europe, it doesn't work. The gospel doesn't work there. Something has to happen before the gospel will work fastest. There are many process whose ministries have died because they have tried. They want to be in Europe by all means. When the Holy Spirit is no not moving there. One day somebody asked me about a friend that I had. This friend was a pastor in Europe. So where is he? I said. I don't even know where he is. He has completely disappeared, Completely disappeared. And you see that pastor was a Swiss man. And one day he came to Korea with other members of his church, Swiss people. When they came to Korea, they came to pick him with a car and they were treating him very nicely. They're his members, one of his members. And they said. Hey over here, you are a big man. Over here, you are a big man. It's like, I mean, it's only here. You can come and behave like this and people are treating you in a certain way and whatever, Switzerland, we are not like that. It's finished. It's over. I don't know where he's located now I set for his church. Everything is nowhere to be found because the spirit of eagerness and willingness gone, not there. And that is why even though you don't have money or don't have much, I'll prefer to be with you than to be with people who a different spirit with them. They are not eager for it. When you when you bring an idea, they will be thinking about something else. I wanted to build churches. Somebody was asked why do you want to build churches? You should build a headquarters church. That's how we are not building. I want to build branches. I wanted to do crusades outside. I said why do you need to go outside Ghana? We have so many souls in Ghana. There are people who are unwilling for everything. I see the Holy Spirit on your life, making you willing. Amen. Sit down. Is it fantastic? Is it amazing? Why the song? Lord is my life and my salvation. Shall I be? He's the strength of my life. Day and night. You need to be afraid. The Lord is my life and my salvation. Yeah. Who shall I be? Oh yeah, Jesus, strength of my life day and night. No need to be afraid. I have a favorite place where I see God say. He gives me. Peace on my Trump and mine. He carries me on the mountain. He comforts me through the valleys. When I'm going through a soul, I'm protected in his own mouth. Oh, my father loves me. That's why I think the Lord is my life, my salvation. Yeah. Whom shall I be? He's the strength of my life. He's the strength of my life, day and night. No need to be afraid. But when evil tried to destroy me and try to make me fall, he puts me on a rock all the rear. It's all them all. When my enemies tried to hurt me, I don't have to worry how many is care. Not just teeth, but everywhere I am going to that hiding place where I see my girl's face. I find the strand to grow. Don't you know he carries me on the mountain, He comforting through the valley. When I'm going to a storm, I'm protected in his own. Oh, my father loves me. That's why I'm saying the Lord is my life, my salvation. Who shall see? He's the strength of my life. He's the strength of my life, day and night. No need to be afraid. When evil tries to destroy me and try to make me fall, he puts me on a rock out of the Ridge. All the more when my enemies try to hurt me. I don't have to worry. I'm in his care. Not your teeth, but everywhere I am going to the hiding place where I see my girl's face. I find the strand to grow. But you know he carries me on the mountain. He comforts me through the valleys. When I'm going to a storm, I, I'm protected in the time. Oh, my father loves me. That's why I'm saying the Lord is my life, my salvation. Shall I feel? Oh yeah, He's a strength of my life, day and night. No need to be the break. The Lord is my life. The Lord is my life and my salvation. Whom shall I be? Oh yeah, He's the strength of my life, day and night. No need. To be afraid. Oh yeah, that Lord is my life and my salvation. Salvation shall be. He's the strength of my life. Day in life.
