Note Chapter 10 How to overcome the world? First, John chapter 5, this one. I'm just going to introduce the subject at dawn tomorrow morning. We are having our last session before we leave on the Morrow. We have had a powerful camp meeting for whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world. Now notice the second part of First Dawn 54 is the part you are looking for how to overcome the world. The answer is one thing, faith. This is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Turn with me to Hebrews Chapter 11. Hebrews 11. Wow. Hebrews Alavan Now the only way to overcome in this world is, is what? Faith. This is the victory that overcomes the world. Are you understanding this verse a bit more? Like this is the key to the victory. This is the key to the victory that you can have over the world. And that is faith, which is obedience, faith, believing a lot of things. You must be someone who believes things. When you believe things, you'll be overcoming in the world. Yeah, by believing, you overcome a lot of things. By not believing you, you become sort of, what do you call it, like you are submerged by the world, you are drowned by the world, but by believing things, you have victory over the world. Amen. What God has used me to do as a pastor is not because of goodness at all. If it was, then I wouldn't have the need to pray for forgiveness as much as I do. And mercy. How many need to be praying for forgiveness on an hourly basis? How many can sense that on an hourly basis you need some forgiveness? Like when one hour goes by before I realize you've sinned? Yes, no one can do much because you are good. What is rather possible for you is to believe. Yeah, when you read Hebrews 11, you see certain people there. Don't look at their moral lives if you don't want to be confused. In other words, don't look at their sexical history. Tell your neighbor sexical history. Don't look at their sexical history, their history of righteousness, goodness. Otherwise you may be confused. Right from the beginning. He starts to talk about people who have faith. One of the first people is a drunkard called Noah and he says by faith Noah condemned the world drinking. Oh how many people here are struggling with alcohol? Raise your hand. He delivered in Jesus name. Now every day pray about it and every day say, Lord, I'm free from alcohol, I'm free from beer, whiskey, Aqua tashi and everything that there is in Jesus name, Amen. Are you there? You are going home. Listen very carefully. Listen very, very carefully. Amen. Are you listening to me read through? You see Father Abraham, What is Abraham famous for doing? Huh. Lying. Abraham is famous for telling lies. Is that my wife is my sister? Wow, how many are feeling better about yourselves and sleeping with his maid? Wow Abraham. Then we go on to who? Jacob. What is Jacob famous for? Cheating. Cheating is famous for cheating. How many rather that you are also a cheater? Deception Number one dribbler of the world. Then we come to whom Moses. Moses is famous for what? Murderer. Murderer is a murderer. Everybody say murderer famous for murdering, don't look at their moral lives. You may be confused about what God likes. Yeah, you may be confused about holiness code. Yeah, Moses, after killing somebody, came to write Thou shalt not kill. The 10 Commandments was written by this very guy. Is it not amazing? One of the few men of God that we know clearly in history has killed somebody? He is the one who came to write Thou Shalt not kill. So that should encourage you. Some of you think killer because I've done this before and I've done this before and I've done that. I can't, I can't preach. Ask Moses about it. Moses preach as if he had never done it before. Thou shalt not kill. He moved quickly to the next point. Who else are we going to look for? Ah Rehab. Rehab. When they started mentioning women, women, they came to Ahab. She was a serial fornicator. She was a she was a Jericho mattress. Jericho mattress or anybody passing through Jericho sleeps with her and all those who are angry with their wives come and sleep with her also. She's available for the lowest possible price, and she has used her money that she got from her work to build an apartment within the wall. You see, like the Kodesh wall. Yeah, she was living in the wall. Every man has slept with her before. One day one of our church members, she was talking to the pastor, She said I work at the bank. I've slept with every man in the bank. And she said when I was in school, I slept with every meal in my class. There was not even one boy in my class that I have not slept with. That's rehab. Thank you. The nearest sister, I said, sister, I know all about you. If rehab could enter the Bible, then you can enter too. I said the heroes and they said they were good guys, but actually they were believer guys. Like they believe, they inspire and they obey things. Yeah, I got my God tell Abraham I make you a father of nations. Oh, I believe. I believe one day I was moving with one of my friends, not knowing that he was a top class fornicator when I moved him here. Fornicator go to fornicator, different things. And we were all in the Scripture union together. So one day somebody came to talk about his sins and there was a meeting and all his sins came out. He came, he was asked to confess. Well, seven member executives, he confessed all. I've been here with this girl, with this girl, with this long list. I said, hey, this guy was moving with him. I didn't know this guy what he's doing. So the next time he was my friend. So the next time I I met friends, OK, we are going here. And he told me, let us pray. I said, hey, I said, yeah. I mean, like he said, he was a man of faith, you know, Sir? But people said that they have more faith. Yeah, the guy was into faith. He said let us pray. I said pray. I said pray for transport. Yeah. He said, Father send us a car now in Jesus name, Amen. So I said I will stop a taxi. Don't stop a taxi. A car is coming for us. A car will come for us. Just now I was standing there, he just saw an air conditioned car come. He just put his hand in. The guy just stopped. And so we are going here and the man said come in. We sat at the back and there was the guy was sitting in the front. The guy, he told me that's our driver and that's our bodyguard sitting in the front there. He said wow the guy is the was the man of faith. Yeah those of you who are so super holy, the Bible says be not over righteous neither make thyself over wise. Why shouldst thou destroy thyself? It destroys you when you are over righteous. It's better to know that you are a Sinner and keep moving. Now let's move to the next character. David Singer the singer. David the singer David sing one of David's songs. The Lord is mine. I was glad. I was glad when they said unto me. I thought he was tightening his trousers. Let us go into the House of the Lord. He like God. Our feet shall stand in thy game. I'm coming to. Your. How many also like God? Jerusalem is built as a city, that is a territory in it. For without the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, to testify unto Israel, to give vent unto the name of the Lord. For there is a seat of judgment, even the seat of the House of David. Oh, pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They shall prospire that. Love thee while peace. Be within thy walls, and plant just grace within thy palaces, for my brethren and companion say, I will wish ye rust everything. Yeah. Because of the House of the Lord our God, I will seek to do ego. Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be worlds without end. This is this guy killed his associates. He murdered his associates and married the associate's wife. I mean, we have a few pastors today who killed the associates and marry their wives. It's fantastic. These are the characters the Bible says we see the good reports. Samson. That's that's too bad. He used his power to take off gates. When he's going to fornicate, he removes the gate of the city that he's so full of testosterone that he just removes the gate and rushes in. Wow. But Bible says all these overcame by faith. So, my sister, you are going to overcome by your faith. When you even try very hard, you'll still not be very good. Yeah, that's a reality. The goodest person is not good enough. All your righteousness are like filthy rags. One day I fasted for seven days. I felt, you know, that fasted feeling. I could feel the fasted feeling from my forehead, through my nose and down to my body. I felt fasted, finished. It was 6 to 6, but always. Go beyond 691011. On the last day, something appeared on my side. I don't know whether it was the Lord or an Angel, but it was white, shining white. My immediate reaction. Maybe that's the Lord appearing to me, but my immediate reaction on the 7th day of my fast was I'm dirty. You know, after 7 days of fast, I should have been clean by the seven day of fasting. I was praying for seven days. I was waiting on the Lord up and down. I should have been feeling righteous. But when the Lord appeared, the feeling immediate was reversing about myself. I never forget that. It showed me that look when I try all my very best righteousness with fastings and all kinds of oblations, sacrifices before the altar and after the altar, still I don't make it except by the blood of the Lamb. So what can I do is what made me saved in the 1st place, My faith by believing in that God has called me darky with males. I can obtain a good report just by believing that call. And I walk by it. All my things that I've done in my mind, with my hands, with my feet, with my eyes, with my body, with my imaginations, and that I've done practically physically. All those things by the believing, keeping in something that is good that I'm called, I can rather overturn all those things. Not that it wipes away the same so, but it gives you a good reward. If you like stay there and don't believe, stay there and don't believe. You see better confess in the last few minutes before you die. If your last confession was three weeks, I can't even tell whether you can make it into heaven. Let's say your last confession was three weeks before you die. You'll be surprised. Your last confession within a day. Can imagine between tonight and tomorrow. By the time you come, Longicho say he's always casting demons out of himself. Say the morning he casts out demons. In the evening he casts demons out of himself. Hey. And you, you not cast out demons of yourself. Wow. Tell somebody. Look, I'm going to make it in this world in a very wild way by faith. I'm going to believe when God says something good about me, I'm going to believe him. How many know that one of the most difficult things to believe is something good, huh? Tell me, tell me, is it not true? Like if God says something good about you, it's like it, it is my imagination that is saying something goodbye. God is not the one saying that good thing. God will never say that about you. You know it. It's a it's a thought. You have manufactured thoughts and you say that the Holy Spirit is putting that thought in your head and you know yourself. God will not say that about you because God knows you. Stop telling lies. That thing is not from God. This is your own imagination. You are trying to cover up for your sins. Shut up there. How many? I've heard that one before. Hey, God will say I've called. You said it's not the call. God calls pure people. God calls good people. You know yourself. What do you mean by call? If you are called, then witches are called, then demons are called, then Satan is also called. If you are called. Hey, how many? I've heard that one before. How many? I've heard God telling you something nice. My son, I'm pleased with you. And then the devil will say to you, shall I please? With what? Pleased with what? Look around and see those he's pleased with. Except you. Have you heard it before? Have you lifted up your hand to worship the Lord? The devil say put, put your hand down, put your hands down. You know yourself, you know yourself. Put your hands down. Who has heard it before? And then today you've heard it. Do you understand? I'm telling you this because this was happening to all of us. Every time God speaks us, the devil will come and flag us with so many things. Shut up. Everybody should not accept you. You shut up. You know yourself. Come on Who? You know yourself. Be quiet. You say you are calling. People are talking about calling and they will say the devil will tell you that Bishop is called. The Bishop is also saying, Lord, it's my call, Adam and Eve. It's not easy for them all. Since we came out of the garden, we are not seeing things clearly, small, not that we are confused. We think that the right is wrong and the wrong is right. Tell somebody I've just discovered the key for overcoming I must believe. We must believe in something good. God is saying. Coming to think about it, you know most of the things God says to you, they're actually good things though. And it's like you can't believe it. It's like it's a great thing when you really believe in a good thing. Like believe I'm anointed, believe that I'm called, believe that God has sent me, believe that. I mean God likes me, God loves you. So many times I've prayed. Lord, you like me. Don't say anything to me. You don't say anything to me. You don't, you don't. You don't say anything to me. All day I'm deceiving myself. When I come, you blast me. You, you beat me. You suck me. You don't like me. Lord, you like me. Lord, show me that you like me. Then we will all be there quietly. Nothing. Nothing is happening in the room. Have you experienced it before? Have you wondered that God like me, all those at about you, dear God likes you. You are very sure from here, from this, from here. These people are different. This you there you are very pure. Challenge, pray for us. We need your prayers. Pray for us because challenge your purity is so great. Your purity is too great. Stretch out your hand and pray for us. Pray for us. Those of us from the front. Hey, you won't pray for us, OK? Wow. Tell you. That's why you have to say good things to your neighbors. You are a nice Christian. I mean, think about the camp. You since Tuesday you've been here. If you don't love God, will you be here since Tuesday? At least there's some evidence that you like God. Say something nice and something good to the person standing by you. Wow, wow. Will you remember today? Will you remember today when the devil is trying to discourage you and say Charlie, will you get out of here? Will you get out of the chest better people are in the chest and you have also come to the chest. Why you come to the chest and why are you praying? Why are you lifting up your hand? We know you, we know you. We know you this one of step down favorite comment. We know you, we know you who you are. Jesus came say we know you pocket that, we know you favorites. We know you go out, go away. God likes you telling me Satan has insulted me since I became a Christian. So, so insults. Insults. I've been getting insults trying to let me be quiet. Don't talk. But I decided I believe, you know, the day I stood under that light when I said I believe I'm caught, so many things were going. My hair was paining me. I said, you said you said I was feeling slapped in my head. You said, you know you are called. You are. God wants you to believe a good thing. In fact, it's one of the highest acts of faith is to believe a good thing that God says to you about you. Yeah. When God, when when God called Abraham, he says something good to him about him. He said, I've made you a brother of Nazimir from the world. Look at my old wife. The the breasts have turned into a talawati. All her hairs are Gray from the head to all over the body are Gray. Gray hairs. 90 white. It became white at the age of 60 and has been white like snow. The last time we had sex was we were 62. We are now 90. God comes to you and says something good to you about you. You can't even believe it. And one of the great ways to work with God is to believe, listen no not to believe something good about something like God will actually say something to you that is good about you. God told Ibrahim. Maybe a father faces from the way when Joshua was going to stand the the Lord, the hosts appeared to him, spoke to him. Jacob appeared to him, spoke to him. A thief, somebody who has cheated his brother of his inheritance, of everything he has stolen, all his bad things and has span away. The Lord appeared to him. The Lord was here. I didn't know. Say he is. The Lord is with you when Mary was in the room. The Lord, the Lord is refused. Faith. Holy Mother, thou hast favored among me. What? No, No. What type of salutation, Woman? Mary. Mary, what a salutation. Blessed are thou among the sisters. Most of God coming to you is something good to you about you? If you like, you can write it down like God speaking in the Bible to people. My son, I've called you my son this blessed are among the people you are blessed. Wow, fantastic. Be not of a righteous 1. Don't destroy yourself, your ministry. When you go out of here, devil will come to you, speak to you, say you. You just come from a camp. You know yourself but are different from the others. Immediately shout, sit and shut up. Have I told you that story before? I told you that story, I was working with my friend. We're just walking quietly like that. Come, I just working quietly. Then he shouted. Satan shut up. Satan was talking to him about something. He shouted underground, the Tube in London. Satan shut up. Shut up, Satan. God is calling. God likes me. Believe it. Hillary, believe it. Nana believe it. Ajwa believe it. People believe it. Let me believe it. Sicho believe it. Believe it. You got to believe it. Believe something good. And the devil has his agents to talk. Chalene, pray that you never become a talker for Satan. You'll be speaking for him and saying bad things about people. May you never be employed. Father, touch our heart to work by faith and overcome the world. In this world, grant us the upper hand over the people, the places, and the systems that we find ourselves born into in the name of Jesus. In the name of Jesus, receive an impartation of the grace of God and escape, Escape the snares of wickedness, the snares of darkness. Be loosed in Jesus name. Yes, yes. Thank you, Lord, thank you, thank you. Thank you for mercy, Lord, thank you for mercy. Thank you for mercy Jesus, you are grateful. Jesus mighty name, Amen. Listen, this camp can benefit you when you remember and when you listen and that is why you have the camp after on podcasts on other things you live, but you will not remember most of the things when we are saying chapter you don't say, but this chapter we were there for a long time. You get what I'm saying? As you go, you soak him. You can catch the anointing. Remember the times that the Lord spoke to us, blessed us, ministered to us? He's raising you up as an aneur. You may be. You may be wild like David, not drowned like Moses, drunkard like Noah, fornicator like rehab, because they are like you. I like you. He knows your frame, He knows how things are because he's been here. He was here, He walked where we walked, he talked where we talked. He felt what we feel and he knows what it is about. One day God showed me somebody who couldn't stop saying and told me, give, give him money, give him. And I said, Lord, when I give it, he will use it to do something bad. And the law said you give him, look after him, he cannot stop. You see God and he knows our friend. I gave him money until he died. Every week say come for man, I will give you. I will give you money every week. It's your pocket money to eat. And I knew he wouldn't use it to eat or whatever he would use it for. He didn't have anything. I look after him. Go say there are people who cannot change. Just show them love. Yeah. Wow. Sit down. Now, now listen, tomorrow morning we are going to try again to wake up around 3330 again, OK? Can we try again? And the reason why we do it is because that one I wanted to teach you by your practice of actually waking up, you know, even if you sleep at 11 or 12, you just wake up around 3330. Set your phone to wake up, Ping, ping, ping, ping, ping. As soon as tell yourself, You see, Kenneth Higgins said he doesn't use alarm clocks because his spirit man is born again and his spirit will wake him up. And the time, his spirit knows the time. So he doesn't use alarm clocks. Yeah, I tell you so. Usually when I set alarm clock, I feel that I'm not walking in the grace of God that has appeared. But sometimes when I'm very tired, I feel that even when the grace appears, my flesh may not be able to respond. But other than that, I also let my spirit call me, Wake me up. My spirit will wake me up. Get up. I said I I tell, I tell. I speak to my spirit. Wake this time. It's a good time. And my spirit agrees about the time that my flesh shall rise. So you produce my my flesh to get up. How many are going to learn that your spirit will call you, wake you up first? You are three in one. Yeah. It's powerful. Remember. Do you remember when you were safe and the joy you felt inside? Do you remember you were born again and you went around telling everyone? Do you remember coming to church? He was friends. He was all day long. Do you remember I seen that the quiet came to church almost every day? Remember time I spoke to you. Remember the time. Touch your heart. Remember the time Jesus saved your life. Remember the time. Do you remember when God called you? You said I'll go to the end of the world. Do you remember what you said to him? Said I'll take off my cross and I'll follow you? Do you remember the dreams you had and the visions you share with us? Do you remember hands laid on you, therefore they you were unknown? Go ahead, Remember the time God spoke to you. Remember the time you touch your heart. Remember the time Jesus saved your life. Remember the time those sweet memories of the call of God. We'll never leave your heart, for because of God is without we can't touch. Remember the time let's talk to you, the temperature you touch your heart. Remember the time you save your life. Remember the time. Remember time, that's what do you do you remember time? Do you remember at the camp, in the church and the boss, you and God? What about that? Do you?
