On your ability to love. Now we are getting this is one of the last sessions we are coming to your ability to learn. Now most people are loveless. What a shock. Did you know that? How many know that most people are godless? That's why you don't disagree. First John 47 says, Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, love is of God, and he that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. Hey, and how many will agree that most people are godless? So if they are godless then they are loveless. What a bomber, what a bomber, I say. What a bomber. So you see, now most of us are disappointed about the love that we've had. When somebody said I just called to say I love you didn't understand what he meant and he didn't understand what he meant what he was saying. I love, Amen. I sex you. I sleep with you. Is it true or it is not true? Hey, most men, Oh, what's happened to my Yeah, most men are God less or God free. God free, free of God out God godless not have God. Love is something so important and so special that the Bible says God is love, God is love, and everyone that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. Now, when is oh, but my, my, my, my parents were not believers, but they loved their children. Yes, what they did is what what they had is not love. What they have is what wild animals have for their offspring. Every animal, every wild animal has for their offspring is a natural protection and instinct to look after and protect the offspring. It's with every animal, whether it's cows, whether it is antelopes, buffaloes, you see them defending their young from lions at the risk and peril of their own lives. That's not love. Love is of God. There is something else called love. I'm not talking about protecting your offspring. That's why you can have a lady who loves her children, but she doesn't love the church members because she doesn't have she has what wild animals have for their offspring, what wild animals have for their young. That's that's not love. I learned that from EW Kenyon. Yeah, I learned that from EW Kenyon. He was teaching about love and he said what we have is what wild animals have for their young, for their offspring. But that's not love. Love is of God. It's something that comes from God. So most men have not God, and therefore since God is love and love is of God and they do not have God, they do not have what is of God, which is love. So most of the songs, most of the songs that have been sung, they were heavily charged with lust. And that is why those of you who were in the discotheques and the nightclubs, dancing your lives away until Christ, the grace of God that bringeth salvation, appeared to you, teaching you that you should live a godly life and creating you to be a peculiar people and to himself. Until that time you thought you had known. And many of you know these songs. Doctor Edwin, did you know these songs? Did you know such songs? What songs did you know when you were in the discotheques? Songs by Commodores, Such as Which song Richie sang? This one's Hello. Hello. Is it me you're looking for? Yes and Kool and the Gang. All right. Such as what song? Get down on it. What a song get down on what? Get down on what it hey, get down on what on it. Sorry on it what a. What a bomber. These songs were charged with last charges, and most people were led into instant fornications and instant adulteries and instant acts of lasciviousness. Having sex in discotheque, in dark places, on street corners, in cars, in boots, back seats, in back seats. You're talking about love. We're talking about love. We're talking about God. Love is of God. Love is something that God has. That is why most most people are disappointed when they get married because what they are going to get is not love. That's why she doesn't want to go out anymore. She doesn't want to do anything because she got what she wanted. She didn't love you. She wanted a spam, she wanted a child, she wanted a name and she wanted a ring and she got all four and she doesn't. She wanted one, a picture on the wall to show I got married on this day. That's all. It's over. What a shock. But you don't believe it. She didn't love you. She was looking for a sperm donor. Gloria, do you love your beloved? Come, Do you love your beloved? Yes, Bishop. Pardon. Do you love your beloved? Yes, Bishop, I do. I can't tell, I can't tell, can't tell. I can't tell that she loves her beloved. It's true. How would I know if she loves her beloved? She's had a How many years have you had your beloved? For four years? Four years? I cannot tell if she loves her beloved, honestly. She's nice, she's smiling, she's around, she's blowing. But I cannot tell if she loves him when she gets married and she gets the 3-4 things that she wants. After that, we shall see whether she lives. She would need him for anything shortly. That's a plight of Ghana boys you would need. Your usefulness is very limited. Senor PTA PTA Society impressions A ring on the finger, a name Spam donor picture on the wall. Finnish children spam donors for the children. Spam gives you the chance it's over. And then because every woman has a switch. Did you know that every woman has a switch? It's just like that on and off. It's switched on and off after the donation is switched off and switched off. Post donation neglect syndrome. It's called PNDS, post donation PDNS, post donation neglect syndrome. Yeah, you wait as you write it somewhere, write it somewhere, come back, you see PDNS, post donation neglect syndrome, Top up, top up. Really take your time. Wow, is it fantastic? Is it amazing? Hey, post donation neglect, Neglect syndrome, PDNS. It's a syndrome. It has a it has a time that it it comes on, a time that it starts, a time that it works. Hey, it's amazing. Is it fantastic? Is it supernatural? It's wonderful. I just called. I lost you. That's what you should have said. I just called to say I need something. Yeah #2. Many people have fear instead of love, and many have lusts instead of love. So instead of loving you, lust. Most of the brothers who say I love you, lust you. Brothers, tell the truth. Is it true or it's not true? We lost you. That is what we do. We don't love you. We lost you. Forgive us, sisters, do forgive us. You can't also do without us. You need us. And most sisters are filled with fear instead of love. Just as the brothers are filled with lust, the sisters are filled with fear. Fear that they will not get somebody. Fear that this, fear that you are like somebody else. Fear that this will happen. Fear of this, fear of that. So they hold on with fear. It's not love. They can grab you stronger out of fear. Sisters, is it true or not true? If you analyze yourself, you see. So that is why the Bible says that love is of God. And that's why the Bible says perfect love casts out fear. And that was as if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lasts of the flesh. A person you love, you will not sleep with, fornicate with. Wow. I'm talking about love. How many realize that you don't have much love? What do you have to offer? Very little love. Is it amazing? Is it fantastical? Hey, turn to yeh. Ending whoso keepeth His word in Him, verily is the love of the love of one, the love of God perfected. Amen. Wow, here's John 5/3 For this is the love of God that we keep His commandment. Wow, keep His commandments, and His commandments are not grievous, Amen. Now through the help of the Holy Spirit, we can walk in Lamb. Romans chapter 5 verse #1 Romans chapter 5 verse #1 we are ending. Therefore, being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. By whom also we have access by faith and to disgrace wherein we stand. And not only so, but we have glory. We glory in tribulations also, knowing that the tribulation worketh patience and patience, experience and experience hope, and hope maketh not ashamed, because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost, which is given unto us. The love of God, wow, the love of God. So God S love has been shed abroad and shed into your heart by the Holy Spirit. Romans chapter 15, verse 13. Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ sake, and for the love of the Holy Spirit and for the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God. Amen. And Colossians chapter one verse 5, he says, as you also lend up in verse 5 for the hope which is laid up for you, which is common to you as in all the world, and bringeth forth fruit as it does also in you since the day you heard of it and knew the grace of God in truth. As ye also learned of Epaphras, our dear fellow servant, who is for you a faithful minister of Christ, who also declared in verse 8 unto us, your love in the spirits. So ladies and gentlemen, we want us to realize, Amen, that God is making you walk in supernatural love. Amen. Love is from the Holy Spirit and it's from God. It's a God thing. God is love. Most of what we call love is fear. Most of what we call love is lust. From the man's side. What we men have is lust. That's what we are. We are. We are full of lust. Ladies are full of fear and insecurities. Let's take Prince Charles. Prince Charles, his I his real apparent girlfriend, or the one he was following was Princess Diana's sister. Yeah, that's what I I think. That's what I I hear. And then he saw this one. What is he following? He didn't know. But she's just a beautiful girl. So what he was, you see that the human beings natural following its lusts because the actual person that he liked was an elderly lady and an older, an older woman. Now what did she also have full of fears and insecurity that will she leave? Will she leave her? Does he like somebody else? She wrote it in her memoirs, she said when we went on a honeymoon, she said I thought that every 5 minutes he was getting up to go out of where I was sitting to go and send a text to Camilla. That was all she was to say. Mind is not full of only that there is another person that that is the pain that she actually likes. That is all that she had to offer and they fought over that to her for years until everybody went separate ways. All she had to offer was fears and insecurities, and what he had to offer was last. So even though it was a wonderful wedding, which is why the wedding is nothing, it looks like a great thing, but it's nothing. It's a man full of lust and a woman full of fears and insecurities. Do you think this one latest one, the heart, Princess Kate and William or whatever, Do you think the girl is not afraid of the same thing that happened to Princess Nana, who happened to her? She's afraid of it, thinking about it, worried about it. Suddenly sit there in the house. What about this? What about if this? They cannot sleep fierce, all kinds of things. This is all that you have to offer. Instead of being happy and just. You are the Princess, you are having the wedding, be happy. You are not happy. You are thinking that this is happy. The person is like this this. You cannot even enjoy one day of it. Fantastic. What I'm saying is not understandable. Instead of enjoying something for one day just to be happy, sometimes people even relationship they start early ministration of last versus ministration of fear. You see them thug of war change change change change change change change change. They are not even married. Thug of war What a. Hey, the Bible says perfect love casts out fear. I mean, you never understand that scripture till you understand that women have fear to minister. Yeah, when I does he really like me or I don't please him, or maybe he's thinking of somebody else or maybe this or maybe he's thinking this or maybe he wants to do this or where is he going? So what is he doing? Why is it that's all that we have and our love is from that angle. So you hold the person tight like somebody who is loving but is actually out of something else. And the person is no more enjoying your, your presence, holding you down tight. But it's the same tightness of love. It's the same tightness of fear. Because when you fear, I'm holding out. If I fall outside, if I fall outside, hold it tight. It's the same tight. If I love you, I'll hold you tight. I'll hold you tight, I'll hold you tight. It's the same tightness. Tightness of fear or tightness of love is the same. So sometimes somebody holds you tight out of fear, but not that the person loves you. Oh, so you see, you may be holding on to tight to your beloved for four years. Not that you love him, but you fear maybe I won't get somebody or maybe this or maybe that, or maybe that I'm growing or maybe oh true or not true. And he is also holding on to you because he's seen you. He's seen your breast, he's seen your body stocking and he's zoofoosh, He's licking his lips. What are they going to have? So he's holding on time. So a man full of lust and a woman full of fear, and they collide into an explosion. Briders, is it true or it's not true? Look, without the Holy Spirit, you cannot love. Yeah. You think about the things that God says he does that I love. God so loved the world that what he came to have sex with, he came to have sex with in the world. God so loved the world that he he was afraid. God so loved the world that he was afraid. No, not at all. Amen. Are you listening to me? Have you been able to kill that fly? Jesus said if you love me, keep my commandments. If you love me, keep my commandment. So now what we think is love, it's not at all love. So pray for the Holy Spirit so that you can have more love. What happens when the sweet influence of the Spirit comes to bear on your character? That will go. It's right there in the Bible. But the fruit, the fruits of the Spirit is Lovejoy with a good attitude, peace, not cantankerous, peace peaceful. So I'm always quarreling and those some of those things is inherent. And let the Holy Spirit help you quarrel till you die. Are you listening to me? Yeah. You were quiet and you die, Lovejoy. Peace. Patience. You impatient brat. Can't wait for anything. Gentleness, no taking of time, goodness, fruits of this, which is when you say fruit, when you say the fruit of this tree, what do you mean? Is that the long standing effect of something is the fruits of that thing? So the long standing products for long term product of something is the fruit of that thing. Do you understand? So when you see a tree, mango tree and it's producing mangoes like that long term. In fact we have 1 mango tree here in the garden. It it for years it's never been mango, but now it will give mangoes in the mango season. Mangoes will become the long term products so when the Holy Spirit is on you, the long standing effect of the Spirit not initial the initial speaking in town prophecies so but long term you see that Lovejoy joy is doesn't say that the attitude even just being happy in the spirit peace, gentleness, goodness, goodness, faith, temperance, huh meekness. All this is and the Holy Spirit is so new that this is the long term influence of the spirit. All these aspects are going to come out of you. Is it amazing? Is it fantastic? Is it wonderful? How many are going to pray for the Holy Spirit every day of your life? Hallelujah, Amen. And finally, finally, finally, I believe that we are blessed. Amen. Before I go to finally, I'm going to let the stars sing for the last time. And then I'm going to show you how to multiply the influences of the Spirit in your life. Do you want to know how to multiply the influences of the Spirit in your life? Wow, what a shock. OK, so let's walk out the stars, give us a last song and. None. I'll be thinking of you.
