You see whether you are preaching, whether you are just talking, whether you are conversing, you prophecy, when you are under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So you may be more or less inspired by the Spirit of God. And when you are under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you speak in a certain way. Amen. Are you listening to me? So under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit you speak certain words. So when you are preaching, when you are preaching, you know, and like when somebody says somebody is a prophet, it's like what he says or what he's saying is prophetic. Then we are trying to say that it's really inspired because even though he's reading the Bible and all that, but it's like he's reached a place where what he's saying is exactly what the Spirit was saying.

Welcome to track #13 of the sweet influences of the Holy Spirit. Now prophecy is the same as speaking under inspiration. You see whether you are preaching, whether you are just talking, whether you are conversing, you prophecy, when you are under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. So you may be more or less inspired by the Spirit of God. And when you are under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, you speak in a certain way. Amen. Are you listening to me? So under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit you speak certain words. So when you are preaching, when you are preaching, you know, and like when somebody says somebody is a prophet, it's like what he says or what he's saying is prophetic. Then we are trying to say that it's really inspired because even though he's reading the Bible and all that, but it's like he's reached a place where what he's saying is exactly what the Spirit was saying. So it's like really inspired from God and the more the speech is inspired by the Spirit is what we call prophecy. So when you say the person is very prophetic, it is so accurate, so close, so near, so real, so inspired. And so when the Holy Spirit comes on people the best we just read, he will make you to prophecy. In other words, He will cause you to speak no more just logical words or reasonable things, but things that are under the inspiration of the Spirit, very accurate and close to God. So the more you come under the Spirit. Of. The Holy Spirit or Spirit of God, the more the things you say are inspired and the more they are like even your conversations, like prophecy. Many conversations of an anointed person are prophecies. Yes, even sometimes the moves, sometimes you, you give an example and it's the person. Yeah, that's sometimes so much so that I've become afraid of using people as examples. I've used people as examples sometimes after I start to pray for them after, because not, not not because it will happen or it is true, but because I have a number of strange situations where I use people as examples and it happened and I didn't like it. I didn't like it at all. In fact, those who have known me very well don't like those examples. Even one person. Beg, I beg you. Don't use me as an example of this thing. Please. Yeah, please, please stop. Stop what you are saying. I've had people. Begging me stop I. Shouldn't say I shouldn't say I beg you, don't use this, don't use this example. No, they are afraid that. They've seen it before. They've been in need. This now pull somebody out and say come this and that and that and that and. Before I realize it was happening, and sometimes those things were messages to those people. Yes, they were messages. So I myself, you see, the more you are under the influence of the Spirit, the more you become guided by the Spirit. You are eating your, your words. So that's why these two things, they are the, they are the most instantaneous effects of the influence of the spirit is, is, is your, the words you see and the eyes of your heart. That's why it prophesied. I will power up my spirit. They will see visions, they will prophecy and all through in the book of Acts there are 5 examples where the Holy Spirit fell on the people on all of them apart from Paul. Where in Acts Chapter 9 when Paul received the Holy Spirit, he the Bible doesn't tell us what happened. But later on Paul said that I speak in tons more than all of you. But Acts 2, Acts 8, Acts 9, Acts 10 and Acts 19. They spoke in tons and prophesied, spoke in tons and prophesied. It's like the words they start to speak immediately under the influence of the history, but they have to go to bed before they have their first dreams. So and in the church, obviously they cannot have their dreams and their visions. Yes, but the first thing was they started to speak in tongues and prophecy. Speak in tongues and prophecy. And the speaking in tongues is a kind of prophecy. It's a where that is not coming from logic, from reason, from what you know, but just the Spirit is making you speak it. Yeah. So it's also a kind of prophecy. So tongues is like a, it's like prophecy because tongues needs just the interpretation and it's complete. It's half of a prophecy. So I may be speaking with you, I may be chatting, I may call you, just be chatting with you, call you, talk, be chatting with you. And I may be prophesying because I'm speaking under the inspiration. Yeah. Look, the Mother says he that speaketh prophesied speaketh to men, to exhortation, to edification, and to comfort. If somebody is speaking to you and exhorting you, somebody is speaking to you and edifying you. Somebody is speaking to you and comforting you. According to the Bible, prophecy is made-up of these three things, exhorting you, edifying and comforting you. This is all. So even the conversation to exhort you or to edify you, or to comfort you is prophecy. He that prophecy speaketh unto men to edification, to exhortation, and to comfort. This is all. Yeah, it's not predicting of future events, but speaking to mental edification, to exultation and to comfort. Yeah. So my friends, I tell you, speaking, even conversation, conversation, talking, chatting, you must be careful when you are with a person who is under the influence of the Holy Spirit. His words may be so inspired that you need to be careful, yes, very careful not to decide a word of knowledge about you. You just hey, are you this, this, oh, we do this or that? It's like just you see, you have to be. You have to also know. That's why I'm saying that somebody, some people who who have known me for some time, they know how even how I do both meetings. I'm being a very serious meeting. You see me walking and talking with somebody, Yes, you have no idea. From the time I broke, I went. I'm doing so many things, taking so many decisions, communicating with Brazil, communicating with here, communicating with different decisions all the time. But that's how I do. So I don't go to sit in a room. I cannot, I don't have time. So in the same way you've got to get used to the person prophesying and to yourself, you must also know when you are prophesying. Yeah, because you, you start professing just now, you start professing, you start professing. The words you speak will be prophecies. You're preaching. You see, my aim, my aim is that 100% of my preaching from the beginning to the end is prophecy. When I say prophecy, like all that I'm saying is just prophecy, exhorting, comforting, edifying, 100% under the influence of the history. But unfortunately, many times when we preach, a percentage of it is not prophecy. A percentage of it is maybe natural logic, logical, moving even where to start from. You see, when I broke the last meeting, the 1:00, we, we stopped. I broke up because I sensed I was not under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. That's why I stopped because if you remember, I was in the middle of some steps because the anointing lifted once I was once I was speaking and there's an, there's an effect. I will show you the next influence. Yes, during the next influence you will see that that's that's why I stopped. That's why I just stopped in the I just stopped in the middle. I said look, I'm tired, I can't let's go ride in the middle. I never got near to where I was going to and I was ending. But if you are sensed as you, the aim is that even what you start, what you say, what you stay from the beginning under that influence, even you're chatting, you're relaxing, you're talking, you are speaking, you are prophesying the words you are talking always it's under inspiration. So it will be technically called a prophecy, but our human words we will describe as conversation, chatting, relaxing, talking, preaching. But once technically it is under inspiration, technically it is called prophecy, yeah, because it's the words that come from and how that come because of the Holy Spirit's influence and inspiration. So you can detect it and you know you need to, you need to know that influence. Say that my dear, you need to know that influence of the Spirit. Amen. Is it amazing? Now if you are not under the influence of the Holy Spirit, you may be under earthly Senchuan or devilish inspiration. But every time the servants and the handmaidens came under, they prophesied in Acts chapter 19. Taboo says when they heard it, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. And when poor ladies hands on them, the Holy Ghost came on them, and they speak with tongues and prophesied. And all the men were about 12 when Zacharias came under the Holy Spirit. Luke chapter 1 the mammoth says and his father Zacharias was filled with the Holy Ghost and prophesied saying, blessed be the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up a horn of salvation for us in the House of his servants. Hallelujah. As soon as the Holy Spirit came on Zacharias, he prophesied. And what was his prophecy? It was like praises, praises. Blessed be the Lord God. He has visited. Is there a song like that? Don't we have a song like that? Blessed be the name of the Lord. Do you have a song like that? Yeah. You see, now you should, you should pray that 90 Let us say between 70 and 100% of the words that are coming out of our mouth are prophetic words. That's what we cannot say and sing useless songs. The words must be prophecies and speakings and speakings inspired speakings, inspired words, inspired messages, inspired songs, inspired worship leading and it all was a blessed be the name of the Lord God. Don't you have a song like? That blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Blessed be the name of the Lord Most High, Oh, blessed be the name of the Lord, Blessed be the name of the Lord. The name of the Lord is a strong tower. The righteous run into it, and there I say, Oh, the name of the Lord for yeah, a strong tower, tower. The righteous run into it, and there I say. This could be a prophecy because. Zakarans, he prophesied, saying, Blessed did the Lord God of Israel, for he has visited and redeemed his people and has raised up the home of salvation for us in the House of his servant David. That's the prophecy. He speakers to men, to edification, to exhortation, and to comfort. Are we not edified? Are you not exhorted? Are you not comforted? That's it. He has not predicted anything. He has not predicted anything that his words or his songs was a prophetic. So, so you must aim talent 7200% of your speakings, prophetic speakings, your songs, your worship leadings, your everything, your conversation like anger, inspiration, like Caleb when he stood up and he everybody shut up. We can make it he vows and there was a different spirit with him. That was the spirit, the influence of the spirit and he encouraged the people exhausted. We can do it. We can make it. Exhaustion Edification 70 to 100%. You are chatting at home with your husband. You are laughing, you are crackling laughter. Even when you are watching a film or watching television, professing, You should be speaking and singing prophetic things. You are trying to get closer, to be totally enveloped. How many want to be in an envelope? An envelope bully goes envelope envelope. You be inside the envelope. Still under the sweet influence in a package. Not that you are under the influence of. I want more. Wow, is it fantastic. Now the next is the sweet influence of the Holy Spirit on your prayer life. All five different occasions when the Holy Spirit came on the people, they started speaking in tongues or praying in tongues. Anybody who is under the influence of the Holy Spirit prays. What do you think the Holy Spirit is coming to influence you to do, to watch pornography? What do you think the Holy Spirit is coming to influence you to do? It's coming to influence you to pray. And so I'm telling you, you see, I'm, I'm not telling you steps to prayer. These are not steps. There are not ways to pray or how to pray or principles of prayer. I'm telling you that every time the Holy Spirit came on the people five times. Acts chapter 2, Acts chapter 8, Acts Chapter 9, Acts chapter 10, and Acts chapter 192891019. That's the formula. 28910 and 19, that's the formula. These are the chapters in the Bible where the Holy Spirit fell. Acts 2, Acts 8, Acts 9, Acts 10, and Acts 19. OK, it's easy to remember. Even if you are not good at memorisation, you can remember this when you are preaching. You can say confidently and people will think, man, this guy really knows the Bible man, Wow. And I want you to speak in that. Prophetic influence and mention certain scriptures and and it will be. Recognised that you are under an influence of the Spirit? Yes. Yes, inspired under the influence of the Spirit, so every time he came. And he has come to help us to pray. He has come to help us to pray. Our prayer lives are under the influence of the Spirit. You will not pray for 5 minutes a day. No, no, you will pray for at least one hour every day, minimum of an hour every day, every day, an hour, an hour, an hour, an hour, an hour, an hour, and two hours and three hours. The more I came. Under the influence of the Holy. Spirit, the more I found myself praying. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, Yes, yes, yes. The more, the more, the more you come under the influence of the Holy Spirit, the more you pray. Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? Is it wonderful? How many want the sweet influence of I'm not telling you how to pray. I'm not telling you ways to pray. I'm not saying 7 reasons why you should pray. I'm not saying keys to prayer. I'm telling you the sweet influence of the Spirit. If the Holy Spirit is on you, He makes you pray. You see that you have been influenced. You have been influenced. One day a certain brother, he had a beautiful wife. He was living happily ever after. Then one day he said I, I am in love with a man. He said I am in love with a man. I'm talking about my own church member. My own Ghanaian church member. Ghanaian. I'm in love with a man. Hey so something of care to me. Has this guy been under any influence? And then I found out that he has been to a certain nightclub. There's a club in Ghana, isn't it? What is it called? No, there's a there's a club, justice club or something for homosexuals. Yeah. So when I yeah, yeah. And I realized that he had been there and that he had been going there so I could explain how he was turning into a gay or a homosexual person because you have come under a certain influence. So that's what I'm trying to explain to you. It's not about steps to how to become homosexual, steps to doing this. But I'm saying that these influence things. When you come under certain influence, don't be surprised because it does not occur to you that you are a woman. But you go somewhere and then somebody is now proposing to you. Yeah, a man is proposing to you and say wow, I love. What a shock. Man is proposing. It tells you that you are beautiful. But you realise they have come under certain influence and that's what I'm trying to explain to you, that if you are under the influence of the Holy Spirit you will even want to pray. You are not. You don't want to go out. Those of you every day want to go out. Every day want to want to know I'm going out. You can't stay in the house, you have to move out. You can't go, you can't stay. Every day you have to move. You have to move. It's like you are bathing, you are going, you are bathing, you are going. You are changing, you are going, you are going, you are going. It's not the influence of the Holy Spirit. You are an earthly influence, you are under a sensual influence, and maybe you are under a devilish influence. But when you are under the influence of the Holy Spirit, I want to stay. I want to stay, but it's too early. I have to. I need time. I need time, Mama ba. Ba ba, let me lie down on the floor and pray. Yes, it's another interest. You lie on the floor and pray. You don't know how to lie on the floor and pray.

We have you on video, so we shall show you your video in the future. All right, the sweet influences of the Spirit on your physical strength. Now, how many believe that you can have strength from the Lord? A lot of your physical strength comes from the spirit realm, but most people think that it comes from your muscles and the vitamins you have eaten. But I'm going to prove to you from the Bible that a lot of your physical strength, OK, actually comes from the spirit realm, the spiritual state that you are in in it. Somebody pull this back so I can see this side #1 Acts chapter 19 verse 14 says and there were acts of the 19. There were seven sons of Skiva of 1 Skiva, a Jew. I'm showing you that physical conditions and strength comes from the spirits that a lot of spiritual input to your state of strength. Seven sons of Skiva, a Jew and a chief of the priests, which did soon, and the evil spirits answered all right, Maybe I should read a little before. OK verse 13 Certain Vagabond Jews, exorcists took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits, the name of the Lord Jesus saying we adjourn you by Jesus whom Paul preaches. So people were using the name of Jesus to cast our devils. So 7 men. There were sons of a certain man called Mr. Skiva, a Jew, and of the chief of the priests. We did so, and the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus, I know. And Paul, that was mentioned, I also know him. But who are you? Hey. And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them and overcame them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded one man with an evil spirit. This is obviously superhuman strength because even two people can overpower one person. How much more 3 Or how much more four men? Or how much more five men or how much more six men? I mean, this guy was not Jackie Chan or Muslim. He was a man in whom there was an evil spirit, and the evil spirit that was in him gave him superhuman strength that was more than the strength of seven men combined. So the strength that he had was able to remove all the seven peoples clothes and the reason why the Bible says this was known to all the Jews and Greeks dwelling at episodes and fear fell on them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified because it was seven boys. Seven men ran out of a house naked and wounded and injured. Everybody would know about it, and even in this area or anywhere in town, 7 naked men running out of the house, wounded, bleeding and hurt, everybody will know about it. That's how come it's even reported in the Bible, because other people were doing this exorcism. But these seven sons of Skiva, they were exorcists and they tried it and they were beaten up properly by the man with the evils. So you must be careful with people who have certain spirits in them, but the spirits get certain superhuman strength to do certain things that they wouldn't have had if that spirit was not working in them. Yeah #2 Mark Chapter 5, I'm showing you how strength that people have, do you understand, comes from the spirit realm and from the spirit in them. And there was, and when Jesus was come out of the ship, immediately there met him out of the tombs, a man with an unclean spirit, who had his dwelling among the tombs, and no man could bind him, no, not with chains, because he had been often bound. They had tied him many times with fetus and chains, and the chains had been plucked. He plucked chains asunder and the fetus broken in pieces, and neither could any man tame him. He had been tied many times with chains. Wow, how many recognize here that once again, the strength that this man had, the physical abilities that he had was spiritual in origin. I'm just trying to show because most of us think that when people have strength, physical strength to do things, it is always as a result of exercise, diet, this, that, whatever you understand muscles. But in this scripture we are recognizing that that thing is coming from the spirit. The evil spirit in the man beat seven men. This spirit in this man full of demons was also able to overcome chains several times. He plucks them off #3. Samson went into Gaza, and there he met a Hallows and went in unto her. And he lay quietly. Are you there? And all the night he was quiet. In the morning they said we shall kill him something late. And I rose at Mida and took the doors of the gate of the city and the two posts as well. You see the pillars? He took the pillars. I'm going to check a certain weight for you. The weight of the columns, the weight of the column up to this height. In tones, Yeah. In tones, yeah. Concrete column, yeah. He took the gates, then he took the columns. Hello. OK, so the column, the gate is here, this is the gate and the column like this up to three meters, that's about there is 3.6 tons. That's the that's the weight of the concrete when you have a column like this. So when Samson took the gate and the pillars, the the columns which are holding the a city's gate, not a house gate, your house gate. Yeah. It's not a small thing. Come and help me with the supernatural. Are you listening to me? Amen. So this is supernatural strength that Samson received. Hallelujah. So I was shocked today when they told me that it was because I was going to preach about Samson tonight. Yeah, three, 6 tons. So as they make it higher, more tons and tons and tons to the top before the thing carries carries the the the the process carried 3.6 tons for three meters of concrete. Big column like that. Yeah. And it's superhuman. And Baba said the spirit of the Lord stared at something. Hallelujah. Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? Amen. Then Jesus became stronger, Amen. In Luke 22, when he was praying, he received strength and the Bible says and Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, being 40 days tempted of the devil, and there appeared an Angel from heaven, strengthening him, strengthening him. So Jesus Christ became stronger and he became more able to physically do what he had done because he had received a spiritual source of strength. Amen. Now this I have laid this background for you to believe. You see I am not giving you steps on how to become stronger physically or spiritually, but I am showing you that there is physical strength that is closely related to the spirit of spiritual things. Like the sons of Skiva have an evil spirit when. One man can make him beat seven men and make them naked and drive them out. Wounded, bleeding and the whole the spirit in one man can make him pluck of chains like this, plucking chains and remove them. And don't think they didn't have metal. The Romans used a lot of metals for healing and fighting the Roman soldiers. So it's they have already developed chains and they used to tie men in chains under in the ship. I told you to watch the film Bent Hair. You see the chains in those days They already have all those things. So when they say they use chains and he plucks it as a Sander. It's not a small thing for something to carry the gates of the city with the pillars and the bars everything away one man. And so you will see many times the Holy Spirit is referred to as the spirit of might and strength. And so you will see many places where you are asked to pray for strength. In Ephesians chapter 3 he said, For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He will grant you according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit. The strengthening will come by the Holy Spirit who is inside you. This is one of the effects or the influences of the Spirit. And so that is why sometimes you will notice that if there is, that you are somebody who is energetic and you are even ministering. You will sense sometimes that when the strength is gone, then you realize that the influence of the Spirit has waned because He will give you the strength to be strong. But when that is how sometimes I would even know. That's why when I realized I was tired, because I normally don't say I'm tired. I can go on and on and on, but I sense that the anointing of the Spirit that gives me the strength has stopped giving me the strength. So I do not want to continue giving points without that supernatural strength that I have to preach for a long time. Are you understanding what I'm talking about? Yeah, and that is why even when people are sick, like Catherine Kuhlman and some of these people who were saying when they come under the anointing to minister, as I said, the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. When you are ministering, the Spirit of the Lord is upon you. When you are in your normal life, he is in you and with you. But when you stand to minister, he is upon you because he must be seen. That's why Jesus when he stood to minister, his first message was that the Spirit of the Lord is upon me. That was his number of his first man Luke chapter 4 after the temptation in the world and as he came to the synagogue first message Luke chapter 4. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. Inform them that I am covered by the Spirit now. Amen. So you see, Paul will pray that you will be strengthened all the things you have to do. So if you pray for the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is going to strengthen you. All Ganga girls will be able to swim. All Ganga girls will be able to walk all the All the Nagas will be able to go out. All the nagas will be able to walk in the sun. We'll walk under the drizzling rain. We'll be able to do everything to bath. All the nagas will be energetic. They will have the. Ability the. Strength will come. Pray for the Holy Spirit. Is it fantastic? Is it amazing? Is it supernatural? Amen. Yeah, strength. Isaiah 11, the Bible described the Spirit of God. He said the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon you. Spirit of wisdom, that is one aspect. Spirit of understanding, that's one aspect. Spirit of counsel, that is one aspect. Spirit of might. See, that one is not wisdom, that's not knowledge, that's not counsel, that's not understanding. That is Mike. That is strength, strength, strength. Because sometimes you may know what to do, but you don't have strength to get up. And I know this from the first time I tried to fast for three days. That's how I have always known. Even if I have not read the Bible, even if I had not read the Bible or seen this in the Bible, I would know. You know, like I heard Kenneth Hagins say, you know, that he doesn't have to read the Bible to know anything about hell. He said I don't need to read the Bible to know anything about hell because I've been there. And he said I don't need to read the Bible. I don't need to read anything in the Bible to know about hell because I have been there. Everything is just there. Now. I don't need to read the Bible to know that the Holy Spirit gives strength. Because of my first experience when I tried to fast for three days, by the third day I could not get up from the bed. From the morning I couldn't move. And in fact, in all my life, I don't remember ever being so paralyzed that even my arm could not move. And my mother came to visit me in school. I was in a Chimoto school. She came to visit me and they came outside my window and they said your mother is here. And I answered backwards to the window. I said tell her to leave, your mother has come to visit you. I said tell her to leave. I can't come out of my house, just from here to here. I don't even know what she thinks, whether she even remembers. I didn't come out because I was fast. I had been fasting since Thursday or Friday. This was the third day. I have not eaten. I have not drank nothing. I was there now. I was with a certain friend, I was with the sediment. The two of us were paralyzed on the bed. I couldn't move. It was my first time, no food, no nothing. 3 days and I was on the third day. I couldn't move and my friend could not move either. The two of us. So I sent a message that I could only move my mouth. I said tell her that I can you give whatever to you. I never got out till 6:00 in the evening. Then moved like this to the sun. Yeah, we couldn't move. So the next time I was going to fast. I was afraid of this, but I thought of something. I said I will rise up and pray. So this time, instead of just starting at that, I rose up at 4:00 AM and prayed the what? What knocked me out. I was moving normally, Normally that I had no symptoms. I was strong. I was strong and it was because I realized the difference between someone who prays and you tear up the spirit and the Holy Spirit comes and strength comes into you and someone who is without that physical, you see that it affects you physically. So I don't need to read the Bible to know that there's a spiritual root for causing strength, but it's all over the Bible. Whether it's something, whether it's evil spirit, whether spirit even. That's why you can even learn that even when the Spirit, the Bible says the body without the spirit is dead as soon as the spirit goes out. Even that when you even die completely. So there's the effect of what is in view on your movement and your life. Yes, when the spirit goes out, you die. That's what I would say. The body without the spirit is dead. So even though you think that you are beating, you are working because your heart is beating everything. The actual thing that is keeping you alive is the spirit in you. Not your heart that is beating, but the spirit in you. That's why. As far as the Spirit. Goes out, you die. What are the other conditions? Yeah. Are you listening? Yeah. Are you tired? Are you receiving strength now? So I pause and I pray that you'll be strengthened, strengthened, strengthened, strengthened. Some of these players will not understand them, but your capabilities, your abilities, your dunamis, powers, they come from the Holy Spirit. That's what the power says. And you shall receive power or abilities, abilities, dunamis. After that, the Holy Ghost after, after you will be capable, you will have abilities, you will be strong. Are you listening to me? You're listening to me. Amen. So I'm telling you most of the things that you find difficult, if you were to pray to the Holy Spirit, you will see how stronger you will become. Yeah. You see, look, there are many things you can never change. You, you see, all my life have come to see that things don't change. People don't change. Things can change, but the Holy Spirit can help you. This was. So those of you who are in relationships, whatever, saying that, oh, things will change. Things things don't change. Oh, what you must know is that until the Holy Spirit really helps you, you move according to your temperament, your background, your mother, your Father, your experiences, your life. Things don't change. As it is, so shall it ever more shall be. And that is why you need strength. Some of you. You are so traditional that it takes so much supernatural power to change your culture. Yes, it's true. It will take supernatural. I mean Uganda girls, I tell you, you need strength, spiritual strength to like mountain climbing, skiing. You see, some of you, you think what I'm saying is not important. If you study Princess Diana, you see that before she came on the scene, she was like a Ghana girl in a certain sense, dressing just a mespot, dressing, looking nice, joy in prayer, impressing people, people like you, etc. That is Princess Diana. Yeah, that's how she was. But before she came on the scene, the Prince had friends and he was into horse riding, polo playing, mountain climbing, going out. This was what he liked. Now you have come, you like dresses, you like impressions, you like being the Princess, people taking pictures, people are liking you and so on. Hey, smiling. Going to hold the baby, the people say. Oh, you are so kind looking, never nice, gentle. What are you? So you see when they show. You see that at a point in which he said, look, before they might say, oh, she will do all those things. She will learn how to ride, she will learn how to do, But this is what the man whose life he wants, this is what he wants to do. But she didn't do it. So as he was, she didn't change. So as he was going out, horse riding was going out. The person that his mind was moving where they were going to. What do you call it? Climbing, running with horses. She was in the house crying. Why is he? What is he doing? He's doing this so she will be. At the castle. In one of the rooms in the big castle, you won't go out. You won't go out. The sun is too hot. The horse, I'm afraid. This and that, this and that. Oh, shan't go, won't go, can't go. Oh God, I guess shant want don't, can't, ain't shant. Hey, if you don't pray to the Holy Spirit to help you honestly you will see that many things you cannot do them whilst you are alive. Shant won't, can't, don't, ain't, will NT Wow. Something that what I'm saying is not important because God, May God may you may change your life, your destiny. Maybe some Christian is going to come. Maybe the person will come from Germany or from Holland or from somewhere. The person will be someone who grew up. He was experienced for missionaries. Maybe I'm prophesying now. You see, this will be prophesied. I'm speaking under the inspiration. Yeah, Yeah. And then choose you. And when he marries you, the only thing he wants to wear dresses. Want to go to the shops? Go and buy this. Impress People say click, click, click. Oh, you are beautiful, You are kind. You are this. That's all. Now he said, let's go and climb the mountain. Let's go and sit in the boat. I'm afraid I cannot swim. Let's go here. I'm tired. Let's go out. What is left of you? Only Joe in prayer. They don't fast. It's getting worse. We have to end soon, otherwise there will be nothing left of your left is just 1% now. 2 to 122%. You see, you are our sisters, you are our daughters. We don't have anywhere to go, so we want you to change. That's why we are pretty anywhere. We don't know any other people. Other people that we know. We need you to change. Don't have anywhere. Don't have anybody to go to. Lifestyle, lifestyle, lifestyle. Spirit of Might, Spirit of might help the Ghana girls, help the Ghana boys, help the young people. Shabaya. How many realize the sweet influence of the Spirit is making you stronger and stronger? To be holy, holy, holy, holy. I recently discovered the meaning of holiness and I was amazed. I found it fantastic and I think I should I should just read it to you because it may be of use to you, specially recognized as secret. Amen. Specially recognized as sacred. Hallelujah. Specially recognized as sacred. Yeah, I've got it. Are you ready to write it down? Something that is holy is considered to be special because it relates to God or to a particular religion. Amen. Something that is holy is considered to be special, Hallelujah, because it is related to God. Amen. Hallelujah. Now come. What is your name? Isaac. Stand here. Are you holy? Please, no. Now, would you say if this brother is special because it's it's related to God? Yeah. Is special as it relates to God. Now you see, why did you say you are not holy? Why do you say you are not holy? I I said I'm not holy because I believe that I'm not actually working rightly with God. God, no. I actually don't understand what holiness means. First, I don't know. Yeah, and Michelle, if you don't want to answer, just say what after the session, OK? Bring the microphone. Give it to your neighbor. Are you holy? No, I don't think I'm holy. Bishop, you are not holy. Why? More? Because from your definition, you said holiness, something special and it relates to God and they and because of certain things that I do, I've done and do like telling lies, like lying. You know that I think I'm not good. Is it amazing? OK, how many feel that you are not a holy when you have lustful feelings? How many things that that is your number one and the holiness? Wow, so how many will be happy to be one day away from the possibility of lustful and bad feelings and thoughts? Is it amazing? So why do we say God is holy? Because he doesn't fornicate. You see, to be holy is to be special in relation to God. You may be special in relation to Pamikruma University because maybe you run 100 and 1500 meters there Anyone. So your name is on a board or something. They are special to the university or in relation to the university, or you may be a lecturer there, so you are special there, but you are not special in lighthouse, or you may be a Bishop in lighthouse or whatever. You are special as far as lighthouse is concerned. You understand now when you come to the Lord, you become holy or special as far as God is concerned. Now a special person has certain special things the person does or does not do. If you take your as a brother who has a multi directional interest in girls multi directional, I mean which animal have you seen? There are only a few birds. There are only a few birds who have one partner. There are some beds like that. They have one partner, they just stay with the one partner. But mostly you never see a lion or a tiger or a horse or a cow. Even our cows that we have on the field here, I mean we had a male, 1 male and then a number of females and the male became so aggressive, it was causing so many problems. So we ate it. But before we could eat it, some of the females had given birth to children. Now we now knew that because we had our male, our bull was dead, these cows would never give birth again. But to our amazement, without going to bring another bull, we saw that the cows were now pregnant again, and we realized that the children. What a shock. The children have grown up and given that with their mothers, Water, water, water, you see. So this is male. Male is indiscriminate, multidirectional affection. Female girls also like boys far more than Boys Like Girls. You may never know limited, but when you come to God and you are going to live a life of holiness, you are going to live a life of being special where you will be different. Do you understand? And that difference is shown in so many ways. That difference is shown in many, many ways. And the key revelation, it's not that you do not do. You do not have last, because you will never be without last. Even at the most holiest time, most special time of your life and ministry, you will be with last. I'm sorry to tell you this, but Elijah was a man of light passions. He was a passionate man with passions. Passions. Elijah, wow, he had passions when he said, oh, this is a passionate woman. Wow, this is a passionate woman or this is a passionate man. He's a man of passions, feelings, a feeling. Elijah, do you feel such things too? And Elijah said yes, I do. In spite of being Elijah, you see, and Elijah too, because he was now operating in the same 10 * 2 And there was a woman who was living near a Tsunami woman. She was living nearby and she told her husband, this holy man of God passes by every day. Let's make a room for him. And let us see what she was saying. Was that not that this man without passions, this man without feelings, this man without sensations, this man without any sexual, I mean erections. No, it's a man with erections, a man with everything, but he's special in relation to God. I mean, it's in the dictionary. If you say a man is something is holy, you mean that it is special. So if you say it's a holy garment, a holy this, a holy that, a holy whatever, it's something that is special. It says dress that is special. Yes, and it is seen as a special thing. Now, if you are special to God, there are certain things you will not do or you will try not to do. But it's not that you will not. Feel like doing all your life, you will feel it. One day a certain pastor went to commit fornication and after committing fornication he was very discouraged. Why? Because this was about that several times. He does. He's been doing that several times. One girl, then another, then another like that. So one day he came to see me. He said pastor. I have decided. I said, decided what? I don't want to be a pastor. He didn't want to be a pastor anymore and he said that he wants to know if he can be castrated. He wants to be castrated. He wants to be castrated because when you are castrated, all your feelings will go. You become a eunuch. So that's why the eunuchs were used to back the Queens. You have to scrap them on the back. You got a feeling, Your Highness, will you turn around, please? And they take their scattering brush and they scrap them. Water. So this gun, I wanted to to be different from Elijah. He didn't want to stay in this world again with feelings. And if you want that, we can remove all the aspects that bring feeling. That's why they were doing female circumcision. But the only aspect of you that brings feelings is that thing. That's why they cut it off. The clitoris, They cut it off. A clitoris is a female penis. It's the same thing. And it would have formed into a beef. You had the ex Y gene to have elongated and become a pince. So that's why they feel that girls are bad girls when they have it and they use it. So they take a knife and then they hold and they cut it off. Yes, what a. But this is going to be by the grace of God, you are going to be able to stay in the world and be able to be unusual. Like everybody is not a virgin, but you are a virgin. Everybody is doing this, but you are not doing this. Everybody is drinking, but you are not drinking. Everybody is stealing, but you are not stealing. That's what makes you special. It's not, it's not sex specie. As for the feelings and the desires and the sensations and whatever, it's just one of, but the fact that you don't even steal when everybody steals and you don't lie when everybody lies, it is like you are now a special person to God. Somebody in whom he can find truth, somebody who he can find even the efforts, somebody who can find let's say, eagerness or willingness that makes you special. Everybody is negative. You are positive. It makes you holy. So. Several things. Make anything that makes you special. As far as God is concerned, it's making you holy, and it's not easy to be special or different. Yeah. So out of. All the people in the university you come and you want to be a lay missionary, you want to be a missionary and you see that you come and it's like if there's a certain you are certain you are there's a certain holiness or specialness about you. As far as God is concerned, maybe as far as the school you are not any whatever like doctor go what somebody told you what he has lost confidence in what? What did he say? He said he. Had great admiration for me. I was a very good lecturer, I could teach the students very well and also he was a consultant somewhere and when he had problems with CT scans and so on in the department, I was the one who came for discussions and he said he had great respect for me until he head somewhere that I was following Dagwood meals. He lost all this respect for me. What? A now look at First Peter chapter one, First Peter chapter 1. First Peter, chapter 1. Peter. First Peter chapter 1 Peter an apostle to the stranger. Peter is describing himself to the strangers scattered through Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Dithenia. He was writing to these people. Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father through the sanctification of the Spirit. Sanctify His Holiness of the Spirit unto obedience and the sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ. Grace unto you, and peace be multiplied. If you read it in the American Bible, it says according to the foreknowledge of God and by the sanctifying work of the spirits, the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit. You see, the sanctifying work there is a sanctifying work. The Holy Spirit helps you to be odd. Yeah, it. Is the Holy Spirit who helps you to be odd? Yeah, because the holiness is to be special in relation to God, and one of the meanings of special is odd, strange or set apart or unusual. So it's the Holy Spirit, but it's not easy to be an odd. One out. For Caleb to be here as a man from Scotland here, it's a holiness, it's special. It's not easy to be odd. It's not easy for me to be 1/2 caste. It's not easy for me to be called quasi broni every day even. Yet 2 days ago I was called quasi broni just upstairs here and they said hey, quasi broni, quasi broni, That's all. It's not easy to be a virgin when everybody is not a virgin. It's not easy to not to have a beloved when everybody has a boyfriend or a girlfriend. It's not easy to say I'm going to the ministry when everybody is going to do PhD. To be special in relation to God is what is holiness. Because you see what you are thinking is last. Many of you don't actually, it's actually not last. It's actually a desire for a man or a boy, but it's not really last in the sense of desire for sex. You discover it as you go along. You realize that when we say sex last, we mean an animal desire for sexual indulgence. That's the definition in the nation, an animal desire for sexual indulgence. And very few ladies have an animal desire for sexual indulgence. It's a mere thing more that you actually. It's your desire for boys or for men or marriage. That's what you call last, but it's not actually last. But there's something real, real last. It's different. Few girls actually have last. They are usually very bad girls. I mean, they are very experienced, very dangerous, strange Vipers. I tell you what a onanca spirits. What a shock. You see some of these girls who come from Wesley Gulf, prim and proper, this, they don't do this, they don't do this. They don't even have a feeling for certain things. Are you saying that they are more holy because we will have a passion and they don't have those passions and they are. Then it means that God is not even treating us fairly and they don't have all these things. They don't have all these things. We have all these problems and feelings and passions. They don't have all these feelings. These Wesley girls, people, they don't have feelings. They don't have the lip, pure lip, right straight. They always close their legs. They do everything they say. Hey, holiness is not defined by your current particular pressure. That's your receive. Holiness is if you are holy, you are special in relation to God, then of course if you are special in relationship. But he said, OK, don't sleep with women. It's OK. Everybody is sleeping well, not sleep with women. He says don't do this. I don't, I don't do this. What he says you do OK, do go here. So I don't do it. That makes you holy. So that's why the woman said this holy man of God is passing by, this holy man of God full of like passions. As for the passions, they are there. But as you grow and become more and more special and unusual to God, becoming more and more holy, becoming more and more holy, as you become more odd, more strange, more peculiar, and following God's destruction, it becomes. That's why Jews are strange. Anywhere you see Jews, you know there is a Jew with their beard, with their head, head from Australia, England, America, anywhere. If there is a Jew, there are Jews in Ghana. That is why after the Second World War, some of the Germans who killed a lot of Jews came to stay in Ghana. The Germans? Yeah. And they were staying in the water region. Yeah. The doctors who did operations on people, they would do operations on twins. They would do operations. They would take human skin, use it to make a lamp shade, do experiments on people. Terrible things, the Germans and as hateless people. So when after the war, some of them came to Ghana, they went all over the world, scattered and said one came to stay in the border region. But there are Jews here too, and they knew that they were here and Pam and Kuma refused to give them up. The doctors, the doctors, they were working there. No, when Pam and Kuma was overthrown, immediately they asked them, they came like me, they came and they took them out of that place, out of the hospital where they were working. And doctors like German doctors that are working in Ghana, Yeah, Jews. You see, there are some unusual people and you will feel there unusual anywhere by their dressing, by their life, by how they move together, how they don't mix with people, how they separate, how they are rich, how they pay heights. You see when the member says that? And the grace of God which brings us salvation has appeared unto all men, teaching us that leading a leading a righteous and godly life, we should be peculiar. We should be a peculiar people to him. He got the holy. He's presented as blameless, holy and blameless before him in love. It's like he's planned for some special people who will be special and different from everyone. Not that just fornication. Because a whole group of us even as we get older, fornication, the desire for it will be less and less and less and less. And it cannot be that fornication is holiness. Anti fornication is holy. Then all ladies are holy. For those who don't communicate, they are all holy. But I have seen people who they don't commit fornication, but their other things are more Wilder than those ones. Terrible. Are you there? Are you still around while you are going home? You are going home, but you are still here for now. Amen. God has always planned to have a special group of people. Amen. Are you there? Amen. Are you still around? So the sanctifying work of the Spirit is fantastic. Now if you turn to Galatians chapter 5, it talks about all the things that everybody does. The 16 this I say then, doctor, go walk in the spirits, flow with the spirits, be under the influence of the spirit. What does walk in the spirit mean? Be under the influence of the spirit, and what will happen? You will not fulfil the last of the flesh. Once again, the Holy Spirit is the key to these works of the flesh, which we are afraid of and we are all afraid of. Hey, adultery, Amen, as is Lord. How can the Holy Spirit help me in this adultery? Fornication and cleanness, lasciviousness. There are four of them 4 Adultery, fornication and cleanest lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, dominating and manipulating idolatry is money. Everybody in the world you can describe all this. Any unbeliever is normal. Hatred variance. I mean you can see it in Ghana. Hatred between NBC and NPP. They can't stand each other. They are ready to fight and bend down the whole of Ghana for their own self again. None of them loves Ghana. Very few politicians love us. If they loved us, they would continue the project that this one stopped because they know that the project is good for us. And when they came, they would have just finished it. But they would leave it and leave it and they would finish roads during election year and then be dedicating the roads and opening the roads and say because it's election years. Wicked people, I tell you. I mean, if you come into power and somebody has started a road that you didn't start, I mean a road that the money has been given and the money is there to do it, you will not do the road. And leave the. People, the poor people of Ghana will suffer. No water, no Rd., no anything. Wicked men, I tell you, just just more and more, just for the sake of the power that they will get. Some of them even, they don't even need money. It's just the power, emulation, strife, wickedness, that is all. But that's a normal man. But when the Holy Spirit, when you start walking under the influence of the Spirit, it starts to make you develop. Look, adultery empathic is not a special sin. It's the most natural thing to do. If you grow up, if you are a beautiful girl, I mean, it will be unusual that you have not. When the Holy Spirit comes, then it starts to make you unusual. Yeah. Other than that, it's normal for you to have multiple partners. Multiple, multiple, multiple. Why? What is restraining you? Why not? Hey, you have to experience love. So boyfriends, girlfriends, go out. Do the. I mean, what? To restrain you? Yeah. I mean, what's what's what's I mean, why? Why are you holding back? Holding back from love? Are you singing some songs? Hello. Is it me you're looking for? I can see it in your eyes. I can see. It in your smile all I ever wanted. Tell me how to win your heart. Because I. Tell me how to win your heart. Because I haven't I. Haven't got a clue. And I just do not obey. I love. You and I guess what? So let. So let me stop by saying I love you. I love you. Let me start by saying I just want to start by saying I love you. Hello. Is it me you're looking? For raps also raps. And if you ask a girl, you are enjoying all these raps. I mean, when they talk to you that way you like. When they sing to you, you like it and you are happy. You see, Dana, boys, these are what the girls want. You want somebody who sings, somebody who is exciting, somebody who makes you laugh, somebody who is interesting. You are too boring and too dull and too Bush. Yeah. Don't you want somebody who sings to you? Don't you want somebody who sings? Hello. Is it me you're looking for? And I see it in your eyes, I can see it in your smile. And my arms are open wide. I mean, they want somebody who is interesting. Somebody will pick up the phone and say I just called to say I love you, bye, bye. Then you put on the phone. That's all. They will be amazed. What kind of person is this when you when you see that he sees. Please call me when you put on the process. Hello. Then he's gonna say I just called to say I love you Bye bye. See you later. Wow wow. Then you'll be there. Then you get another call. I just called to say how much I. Care. You would die for them. How many sisters would die for them? And I need you from the bottom. I need you. I need and I mean it and I mean it. So you take your phone for a tab call. Hello. And I mean it from the fire. Fire. Oh God, no voice. Why are you so boring? Why are you so push? Why are you so boring? Why don't you have rocks? Why are you so boring? Oh Ghana boss, why can't you say? Why can't you say? Why are you so boring? Oh Ghana boys, Oh, Ghana boys, what is that of you? 90 percent 90% 90% Ninety percent 90% Ninety percent 90% Because of the influences of the Holy Ghost of your life. 90% is left on you because of the ointment. The virgins do love me. What a shock. Sit down. It's a fantastic. I'm going to give you another book. Will you read the book? What is that of you? Oh, I like it. Oh Ghana boys. Oh, boys and girls.
