Mechanic some of you as we pray. There will be something inside of you. It is going to just rise up and say enough of these friends around me. I don't want these guys. Around me, I'm going to make new friends, some of you as you pray new decisions are going to be made inside. Of you, are you prepared? To pray right now. I can't hear you, I said. Are. You ready to pray right now? Lift your hands, Father, we pray we are coming to you. Your word says we should be wise as servants. Yes, we thank you for the color of the serpent, the yellow, the pink, the black, the white, the mosaic. Nature of its hide. But we pray. That what is inside that makes a serpent a serpent and not a lizard? What is inside that makes a serpent a serpent and not a worm. Father I. Thank you for my callus, for my third complexion, for my dark complexion, for my. Eyes, but right now. Your word says that if a. Father will not. Give a son a stone if he asks for bread. How much more will you not give us freely? All things. The Holy Ghost, we are going to pray. After this prayer there. Will be something inside of you. Yeah, when we see you lying there, that sister take your. Matter somewhere, but. This particular girl. You can't joke with her Father. We ask for strength to pray. We are coming to. Scream. In prayer, something must give, something must change. Our destiny depends. On something inside my brother, when you open your mouth, what comes out? What scriptures come? Out what? Wisdom. Comes. Out of you. But as we pray. The power of. God from on. High is entering you. As it is entering. You begin to open. Your mouth and begin to pray and. Say Lord something. Within, begin to pray. Matkala Baba. You are becoming a different person, different from the way your classmates. Know you different from the way your roommates knows you pray. Kabala kabaya sambala babaya. De shamalola Bosa. Inside. Inside, send some prayer. Inside send some. Prayer inside. Send some prayer inside. It is. What is inside that? Changes a person. ET tolomo SA. Kalababa. Balalaba, Satan. In Belle Pepe Pepe Pepe Pepe Pepe. In Dalaba, Satalaba, inside inside the power will be gentleness, kindness, holiness, the power within. Yes, when? We see you. We shall not just. See Hair we. Shall not just see legs. The power within. Jesus. Yes, if prayer can change things, prayer will change. You to. Today, prayer will change you. Today, if prayer can change things, something inside of you is changing. When we see you, we are not just seeing a guy. We are not just seeing a handsome boy. We are not just seeing a a tall guy. We are not just seeing a short sister, we are not just seeing a beautiful face, something from within. The. And he said that which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. And yesterday, Bishop said if what comes out of a man can defile a man, then what comes out of a man can also build, increase, enlarge a man. This camp is about something inside of you. You see, I, I, I really like the choice of this particular snake because as it lies here, it looks very beautiful. It's not beautiful. I mean, look at the colour. I mean, an actress cannot even give us this impression. This is natural, natural, very beautiful. So beautiful that. This rudder should. Cause us to be. Attracted to it this rudder acid lies I mean, I would love. To have this in my bedroom. I would love to. Have this in my sitting room. I would love to. Have this in my car if it. Is just the car less? I would love to have this. Line at the back. Of my car. If it's just a callus, isn't it beautiful? But. Suddenly. Something inside changes the your attitude towards it, how you approach it, how you respect. It see some of you success. What is outside is what has destroyed you. Yeah, it is. It is what has become the main thing of your life, how you make your face nice, how you make your head. And there's nothing wrong with that. Because God made this snake. Beautiful, but a lot. Of your problems has been because there has been nothing inside of you. To counterbalance. The beauty without So when we see. You a nice nice. Girl and when we approach you. When the guy. Comes when the friends come there's nothing from within to make them fear you yes the. Day I saw that. Lady preaching to the girls. I certainly away. Distance yourself. Distance yourself from this girl. You can take your nonsense somewhere, but not here. Not here. Something about her Drew. Me to her. But something from inside. Such a. Don't joke, don't joke and I'm. Telling you that if you are going to last in the ministry and God is going to make our lives beautiful. Oh yes, He's going to make our lives beautiful. He's all said yesterday the one at PNT will live in a house. We'll. Drive a car. We'll take his children to school and pay Scoofies. We will also. Live in a. House drive a car. And pay Scoofies. And in addition have a. Place in heaven so. God tell your friend. God will make your life nice, but the problem is, will there be some I. Mean if you're. As I'm standing, I'm seeing, I mean, beautiful, gorgeous sisters. Baby woo. But is that all? That is it. About you Is that all we have to see? About you, God. Is going to call something inside you see always and. There's a statement, Bishop. Made, he said. The power of your life is the power of what is inside the power. Of your. Life is not the. Gate of your hips. It's not. It's not how well. Oiled your lips are. I'm telling you, the power of your life is not the texture. Of your. Smile the texture of your smile, because some sisters when they smile. At you. Oh. You can really. Forget your name. But the power? How many of you want? Power in your life. How many brothers want power in your life? Is the power within always, and Bishop has taught us this for many years, But always you see two people. They have. Different responses to the same thing. A certain man had two sons. One of them was a fool. One was Why? Why was it the house they were living in? Was it the food they were eating? What was it? Something inside one of them is what changed it. You can be two friends. Two friends here. There were two thieves. On the cross. I'm telling you. Think about it. 2 thieves. On the cross, but. Something inside. One of them. Had an eye. To see a Messiah on the. Cross. The same thing that. Has the power to. Lift one up has the power to bring one down. May you be the. One who will be lifted up, I said. May you be the one who will be lifted up all through life. You see that? It is always something. In a person. Your. Wisdom, your knowledge, your decisions. Inside of you and. We are going to ask the law further increases increase the potency of my venom. Yes, without using Knowledge A. Scripture A. Council A. Camp an environment you increase the the the. The. Potency. The potency. Yeah, the one you strike. One tally. You are a different person and some of you, the devil can easily come to your life and mess around and go away, can just come, just do whatever he wants to do, leave you lying there he goes, comes back again, but it's changing. I said, but. It's changing. Because what it is? We are going to praise the Lord. Increases, increases, everything can increase. The. Title of your gentleness can increase. The amount? Of holiness in you can increase as we are there. Some of you, some sisters here are struggling with relationships. You are you are genuinely struggling. But it's not something from without. I tell you, it's not even advice from without. Have you not seen even advice? You've had the best of councils, the best of it, but you are still who you are. Because until something from. Inside that the prodigal. Son, he said, he said. I will arrive. There is something inside that speaks, that speaks. I said no, no. Enough of this nonsense. I won't take this again. I see anger rising. Up in you. Whatever God has. Commissioned you to do to become something inside of you. Ever. Even as I stand. Even me there, there is something inside of me that must increase in number and increase in. Size otherwise. I won't rise to my next level and you cannot be in all these camps and end up in the. Bed of an allergy. Just because you were a beautiful girl with a beautiful nose, nice lips. No, no. We thank God for your beauty. One of these days we shall see you. Beautiful girl wearing a white robe and. Preaching to 5000. People with your beauty. You will be in the bed. Of an unbeliever. Lift up your hands and say, Father I. Receive an increase. I receive an increase. An increase. In Venom. Whatever is inside that I had in. Small amounts as I pray it is going to go higher. It is going to increase. What makes a snake? A. Snake. What? Makes a. Viper. A Viper. It's not its color, it is what is inside powerful, potent, and today. As I. Pray anything that. Is good, that is powerful, but is in small amounts. But has been diluted. By sin. By wrong decisions. By rock environments as I pray it is becoming concentrated. It is increasing in. Amounts in volume. Begin to pray right now. Begin to pray, right? Now, Mako.

Of you can change your life. In fact, the power you will have in your ministry will be. Why do you think we have gathered here? Why have we come into this room? Why are you in first love? Somebody's words, his words. Not his car, not his house. At the end of the day, if you are a minister, it boils down to your. Words. Yes, I've been. To many places where I was not respected. Many. When I finished speaking, the respect level had gone. I went to a wedding about a year ago at Medina. I saw the pastors. The governor of the Bank of Ghana was there. I went to shake their hands. Small boy. Whatever. When I finished preaching at the wedding, I was fellowshipping with the bride and the groom. Outside. At Medina and the vice president, the former. Governor, the governor. He walked up to me and said, Gentlemen, who are you? That was a very. Powerful sermon. Are you in Accra? I'm here. I'm in Accra. They may see you as a lanky. Big headed.

But why are you? Following her what? Comes out of her. Mouth, her mouth, and. Many places you will not be respected but when you finish speaking. Some of you to you be greatly respected. But when you finish speaking, and we are. Praying the Lord. May my appetite for the Makanai, may it cost me to have powerful things coming out of me. Begin to pray.

You know, let let me tell you, last week there was a big funeral in my family. So my mother came to Accra and she's told me that she's going to show me something very wonderful this evening. One of the evenings. I said, what is it said somebody is coming here. When you see her, you'll be surprised. I'm going to teach you something. So in the evening we're there and a car came. She said this girl who is going to come here is your niece. You've not met her before. And she said she has not been to school before. Her mother was a fishmonger in Liberia, happy very ten children she could. She didn't have time. None of the children went to. But this particular girl, you watch her, she's not been to school before, never, not even kindergarten. She was mid 20s. But then the evening, this girl, beautiful girl, 25 or so, she greeted my mother and this other English, English, impeccable vocabulary, a girl who was not the the daughter of a fishmonger. So later I was taking her to a place to pick a car and I said, how do you speak English so well? I decided that I have to better my English by watching American movies. She's 25. The last time she was working in a Holiday Inn. My niece no school. She has watched movies soaking in just last week. Not that they say. I myself, my own personal niece in Nigeria, we say my personal church, if somebody who has not been to school before can watch films to a point where she speaks. I mean, my mother is a teacher. She speaks good English. They they chatted. She's not senior before. Apparently she was named after my mother, so they were chatting, talking about two hours hours somewhere about pass by and just be listening English. Even you you say you have you have finished university yes, but what am I saying what you soaking? I'm telling you what you keep watching 2nd Corinthians 318 but we all with open face beholding in a glass the glory of God. I change into the same image. The things you watch will change you. I beg you, we are pledging again. Lift your hand to God. No, please. If your intention is maybe you came to see off your friend, but if you are really a minister, ministry is on your heart. You want to serve God. You want to preach. What comes out of you will be determined by what you have soaked in. Let your hands gently pray and commit your life to watching. I'm telling you, if you want to meet her, I can arrange for you to meet her. English. And you are going to be a preacher when you hold the microphone. And you are pretty sick. What? A little girl like. This she may be little on the outside, but something on the inside is explosive. Pledge your commitment to watching of Octazia. You will have it. Constantly watching, constantly watching. Lift your hands and pray constantly listening. A serpent is a serpent because of what comes out of it. Our respect and our fear for a snake is the venom from within. Pledge yourself, yes, in your room. Somebody here wants to pray and say, Lord help me to have a device that will help me to watch the Optazia anywhere. Anytime. I tell you, what comes out of you will determine what type of ministry you will have. You can deck your church hall with every flower in the world, the best instruments in the world. It is what comes out of you, your decisions. Praise the Lord, I'm committing myself to listening to the Machinae. It's now not an activity. It's a lifestyle, lifestyle. It will change you. It will change you what you watch. You are changed into the same image. It will change you. It will change you talk to God. Gently talk to God and say Lord. At this camp, I've learned something, that the power of my life is the power that is within. The next time I open my mouth, some of you will say, Lord, next year, same time when I open my mouth in front of 20 members to talk to them, it will be a different Evelyn. It will be a different. Evil. It would be a different stellar, yes. Makotasapakaya Rabasa Mayanda, pray to God and say, Lord, give me an open face. But we are with open face, beholding us in a glass, beholding as in the television, the glory of God that comes through the preaching of God's Word. We are changed. We are changed into the same image. You are what you have been watching. I am what I have been watching. There is no secret anywhere. Maka tabosa, rendo lobosa shimale lebos le maka tabolima. If you are not tired and you can lift your hand for just a minute or two to say, Lord, let me soak in wisdom so that when I'm squeezed, what comes out of me will be wisdom. Deliver me from area. Boys and area girls. People whose words kill your zeal. People whose words deem your destiny. Take them far from me, Lord, Far, far. But rather. Let me surround myself with instruments of wisdom. Oh God. Give me an appetite to watch camps, Evening services, impartation services, shepherd services. Pray, pledge, commit yourself that I'm leaving this camp, with this decision, I'm leaving this camp. Maybe I've not gone to school before, not even to kindergarten. But as you watch, as you watch.

Kota Bala Basaka. How old am I? Yesterday, Bishop, read this verse. Thou hast loved righteousness, keep standing, and hated iniquity. How many of you want to be promoted in the ministry? You want to go higher from where you are, therefore God, Say God. Are you aware that nobody can promote you, Only God can promote you? Yes, not even a title will promote you. I'm telling you, In fact, you have the title because you were promoted already by God. Therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above, above, above thy fellows. In three years time, you'll be higher than your classmates. In 10 years time, you and your classmates will be in different containers. You they cannot mix you with them. Why? Because of what you have loved and also what you have hated. We are praying all of us that we will hate anything that will poison the power within. It's not just what you love, is there because you have laughed and hate it. Lift your hands. We are going to hate pornography. We are going to hate useless movies. Yeah, you can soak the McKenna all day, but one movie you will watch can dilute everything. Yes, yes. 5 minutes clip of Russian pornography will dilute will dilute a whole day of the Mckennae. That's why I said because you have loved. Righteousness and. Hated. It's not just what you love. Your promotion doesn't come from only the things. You love, I love Mckennae, I love to watch. This I love to read my Bible, but you must also have a list of things you hate and you are going to make your list. Right I I I have got my own list. You to make your list, but lift your hands and say, Lord, I'm taking these things away from my life. I'm hating no matter. What you have loved. If you don't hate certain things, there's no promotion for you. Begin to pray right now. Mention them by name. You can begin by giving them quotes. And pray. If you don't want your friends to listen that you are mentioning pornography, give it a call. Pornography is number 13. Father, I hate #13 In the name of Jesus, open your mouth and pray you. Must hate certain things, some friendships, some environments. Movies. Useless chatting kibalo Baba sabala bakata Kim mele Mama kibala bosa. Re. Mamayan dala Baba now. Open. Your mouth properly and.
