The Lord is that spirit, And where the Spirit of the Lord is there is. Liberty, it says, And we all with unveiled faith. Beholding him as in a mirror. It says, we are changed.

And it's my joy and honor to be in your minst. Allelujah. Help us Holy Spirit in Jesus' much less name. We pray. Now please, may I request this sited that you lend me your attention. We have a few minutes together. He had this session, and I believe in the power of God's word. God's method has always been his word, his method to lift, his method, to bless. His method, to empower. He sends forth his word, the Bible says, and his word healed them and delivered them from all of their destructions. Allelujah, he says. And now I commend you to God asks chapter twenty and verse thirty two and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up its head, and to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified. Allelujah. A quick recap on yesternight's teaching are begun by discussing number one, that every believer in Christ is destined onto glory. Please pay attention that every believer in Christ is destined to a life of glory. The Bible says, according us, his divine power hath given us all things that pertains onto life and godliness through the knowledge of Him that has called us into glory and virtue. Then, the Bible says, whereby we are giving these exceeding, great and precious promises, that by them we might be partakers of its divine nature. Haven't escaped the corruption that is in the world through lost are we together? So it is clear from scripture that every one of us has been called to a destiny of glory. Now, that is regardless what your ourrent situation is. For the Bible says that while we look not at the things that are sein, but the things that are unseen. It says, the things that are seen are temporal, subject to change, but the things that are un sein are eternal, regardless the pressures, regardless the challenges that may currently be around your life, the word of God still remains true, that you and I have been called and destined to a life of glory. You believe that, shout a loud amen, shouted like the believer that you are Allelujah. The Bible says, behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us that we should be called the sons of God? Then it says, now are we the sons of God? And it doth not yet appear what we shall be like. In other words, just because you have not yet evolved in experience to become that instrument of glory, it does. Not mean the word of God lies. Let God be through and every man, including every situation, be a liar. Do you believe that? So settle it once and for all, dear people of God, that you and I have. Been called preordained to a life of glory and a life of excellence efficiency. After two one, verse ten, the Bible says, for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus. Are we together? Now? Yes, we are created onto good works. Which God had for ordained before, ordained that we should work in them. In other words, God is not scratching his head wondering what to make out of your life. That there is the scripts that has been written as far as your glory, and you're excelling His concerned. Now whether you work in that reality or not is another discussion. But settle it for a fact that God has called you and I to a life of glory, You and I to a life of excellence. Are we together? Now? The word glory comes from the Hebrew word cupboard. The Greek is doxa. The word glory simply is an attempt to describe the value or the wealth of a person or a thing. It was an ancient way of measuring wealth. In ancient times they use gold and metals to measure wealth. So the weightiness, the weightier the metal, the more valuable it was. So the word doxa or caupboard literally means the weightiness of God. It is a summation of everything that makes God, God, his wisdom, his goodness, his power, his grace, his favor. So when we say the believer should be a manifestation of the glory of God, it means that your life. Should be and remain a living epistle. That people can look at your life and learn God. You become a continuation of their Bible study. When they look at you. Are we together that your life is literally scripture in motion. If they do not know what favor looks like, God can refer them to your life, that by looking at your life, they will understand what it means to be favored of God. If they do not understand the manifold wisdom of God, like efficients. Three Unus ten says, it says now. To the intents that now onto principalities and powers that might be made known by the Church, the multi first sected wisdom of God. In other words, if men and women are in doubt as to how wise one who is under the influence of God can be, he can refer them to your life. The excellency of the wisdom that emanates from your life becomes a testament that you are a manifesto of the glory of God. Are we together now? The purpose of glory. The purpose of glory is to magnify. Listen carefully. The purpose of. Glory is to show the excellence and see of the object or the creativity behind that glory. Say, for instance, the glory of this phone is in exploring all the first features that are in the phone are we together its ability to browse, its ability to be fast, and so on and so forth. The glory of his vehicle is to be able to explore all the features that are there so the glory of God. To understand the glory of God, you will need to study the character of God one by one, his wisdom, his goodness, his favor. Then when you are exhausted, you cannot understand the first nature of His glory. And the Bible says every believer has a divine mandate to be a representation of a dimension of God's glory. Allelujah. And then number two we established yesterday that as through as the aforementioned statement is that you do not just stepping obituarily into glory. Working in the experience of a glorious life demands that you follow a pre defined pathway. Please listen, it is not enough to confess or to know or to rejoice over the fact that the destiny of glory has been a portion for you and I. You must understand the pathway that leads to glory. For the Bible declares that there is a way that semen rights onto. A man, and we still together. It says what the endea of other ways of death, the ways of destruction? There is a pre defined pathway that, when you work in keeping with you will naturally evolve into a glorious vessel. And I did tell us yesterday. We discussed a few things. I'm just doing a quick recap, so I'll take it from there that the first pathway for anyone who wants to work in glory, you must encounter the Son of the living God together. Now, yes, in the experience that we call salvation or new birth. Now, as basic as this is, you ignore it. And there is no potential for glory for any students. To become a bona fide student of any college, you must be admitted. Into that institution. Am I right on that? So you are issued what we call an admission letter. But receiving an admission letter does not turn you automatically into a doctor. Or an engineer. It only tells you that now you are in a position where you sustend a potential to eventually evolve. Am I right on that? So it is possible to have the admission letter and yet not attend lectures. It is possible to. Have the admission letter, and yet not even study. It is possible to have admission letter and to fail your exams. The admission letter is valid, but you will never be satisfied as a doctor or an engineer, or whatever it is you're pursuing. Am I right on that? So salvation becomes your admission into the kingdom. In John chapter three, our discussion begins from verse one. Nicotimus comes to Jesus by night, and he says, Rabbi, we know that thou at a man, sends from God. Verse two says, for no man can do these miracles. Accept God be with him. Jesus now replies and says, verily, verily, I say unto you. Except ye be born again, you cannot see the kingdom, he says. And Nicotimos says, shall I at this age and time to my mother's womban second time? And then he says in verse five, except ye be born of water and of the spirit, you cannot enter the. Kingdom of God. Are we together? He says, that which is flesh is flesh, that which is spirit is spirit. So it is important that you encounter Jesus, the son of the Living God. Now, when you encounter Jesus, the Son of the Living God. You are exposed to certain ministries that you must submit yourself to. Number one, the Ministry of the Holy Spirit. I wish I had all the time. We could spend a whole day discussion on the Holy Spirit. Because Jesus himself introduced the Holy Spirit to the disciples. He said, I have many things to tell you, but he cannot bear them. Now, how be it? When he, the Spirit of Truth is come. He says that he will guide you into all truth. He will guide you into all truth. He will guide you into all truth. Allelujah. The ministry of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of the Word. The Holy Spirit is the confirmer of the world. Now, the Holy Spirit essentially has a threefold assignment. Please listen carefully. I just listened all of the principles yesterday, but now now I just want to boat rest on. Them a bit. So let's talk a bit about the Holy Spirit. Who is the Holy Spirit? The Bible calls him God. The Holy Spirit is not an archangel. The Holy Spirit is not one of the spirits in heaven. In fact, he is the first dimension of the God had revealed in scripture In Genesis chapter one, from verse one, the Bible says, in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Verse two says, now the earth was dark and void and formless. Is the Hebrew Word too, who confusion and chaos. And then he says, and the Spirit of God hover around the face of the waters. That means every time there is darkness and chaos in your life, he is that dimension of the god Head that is released to your life the moment you see. The Holy Spirit comes. He is a master at turning darkness to light, is a master at managing chaos. Jesus himself, even though the Word inconnect Jesus could not do anything on earth until the Holy Spirit came upon him. The Bible tells us that for thirty years he lived an ordinary life, and then he comes to John to be baptized, and haven't been baptized of John, The Bible says, he came out of the waters, and the heavens were opened, and the Holy Spirit descended upon him in the similitude of the dove. And there was a voice from heaven saying, this is might be loved son, a we together. Then the Holy Spirit drove him into the wilderness, he prayed and fasted, was tempted of the devil. Then the Bible says he returned in the power of the Holy Spirit, and the exploits in his ministry begone. Asks chapter ten and verse thirty eight. He says, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power. He says, he went about doing good and healing all day that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him. Now listen, The Holy Spirit has a threefold ministry. Can we do a quick crash cost on the Holy Spirit? He has a threefold ministry Number one. The first dimension of his ministry is to creation. The Holy Spirit has a ministry to the entire creation. He is the life force behind creation. You would think that life works just because of the sun and the moon and the stars and water. Life works, as we know. It's simply because the Holy Ghost is still in motion in the earth. We draw the Holy Spirit and leave every other element in place, we will still die. The Holy Spirit is the life of God. Are we together? So his ministry is not just to men, plants, and animals, and every element of creation depends. On the Holy Spirit. For survival. This is powerful. When there was darkness and chaos before God, he said, let there be light, he was and he still remains upon the earth. So the Holy Spirit has a ministry to creation. Number two, the Holy Spirit has a ministry to unbelievers. The second dimension of his ministry is to unbelievers. What is his ministry to unbelievers? The Bible says that he will reprove the world. You find that in John chapter sixteen, that he will reprove the world of three things number one of sin, number two of righteousness, and number three of judgment. That means every unbeliever. Enjoys that ministry, the convicting power of the Holy Spirit. That whilst the world is coming as you are hearing me teach, or under the influence of our father's teaching, the Holy Ghost is working upon the hats of. They that have not experienced the life of God. This is the reason why after the discussion and the preaching, when an altar call is made, someone is able to leave his sin and come out. I hope you know that no man can be convinced that Jesus. Is Lord except by the Spirit. Are we together? So the Holy Spirit has a second dimension ministry to unbelievers. My interest was discussion is the third dimension of his ministry. He has the third dimension of his ministry to believe us. Hallelujah. The Holy Spirit has a ministry to believe us. What is this ministry to believe us? A He has the singular responsibility of activating your spiritual organs so that you become alive onto God. Without the Holy Spirit, you cannot perceive spiritual things. For the Bible says the natural man. Listen carefully that the natural man cannot understand the things of the spirit. It is Spirit who quickens you so that statements like giving will makes sense to you. Praying in the spirit will make sense to you. If you are an unregenerate man and you listen to these conversations and these Christian concepts, they do not make sense to one who has not been quickened by the spirit. How do you tell me to start us so that I will increase? How do you tell me to dance my way out of pain and trouble? That does not make sense. It is the ministry of the Holy Spirit to quicken you so that you now understand the ways of the Spirit. If you're with me, say amen. B His second ministry to believe us is to reveal the Word of God. He is responsible for impacting knowledge and understanding in partnership with scripture. Without the Holy Spirit, there is no possibility for having accurate knowledge in the scripture. You can touch the scripture and you will end up coming up with. A compendium of misguided statements, lays with a lot of controversies. And you would just open books of the Bible it to end up making you doubt God. Without the Holy Spirit, you will see a lot of supposedly these jointed statements that do not make sense. The Bible is more than a book of history. The Bible is more than a piece of literature. The Bible is more than a compendium of a theology. It must be opened, but the seals must be broken. Are we together, It is your responsibility to open the book. It is his responsibility to unlock the seals. If the seals are not unlocked, you will open the book and simply be reading an instrument of history, understanding understanding. In Isaiah chapter eleven, when. You read from verse two, it begins to least what we call the sixfold manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Number one, the Spirit of the Lord. Number two, the spirit of wisdom and understanding. Number three, the spirit of counsel and might, and then the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. And it says verse three that you shall make him. Of quick understanding, of quick understanding. Ellie who said in Job chapter thirty two and verse eight, when you read that there is a spirit in man and the inspiration the breath of the Almighty can make men of understanding. Lay your hands on your head in one minute, and I like you to declare the name of Jesus that from today I am of quick understanding, intellectually, academically, spiritually, is someone praying and for those following online, lay your hands and make that declaration. By the spirit of the Living God, I am of quick understanding, extraordinary supernatural intelligence. Allelujah. Prays the name of the Lord. See the word Ministry of the Holy Spirit. To believe us listen carefully. Is the ministry of empowerment. The ministry of empowerment. I'll talk a lot more on that. If we're not able to comment that this afternoon or this morning would deal with it in the evening. Empowerment. Pry ye until ye be empowered. Hallelujah. When you read look chapter one, please give us verse thirty four. So the angel Gabriel comes to this young virgin who is espoused to marry Joseph, and he brings her clad tidings of great joy, But then a statement that made her afraid that she was going to be with child without the assistance of a man. Mary replies the angel, and she says, how shall these things be? Seeing that I know not a man? The anslize in verse thirty five, hallelujah, It says the power the Holy Ghost shall come upon you. Next time, men say, how shall these things be that by the end of this year I will own my own property? How shall these things be that in spite of the confusion around my life? I will stand tall and stand blessed? The next time you do not have an answer, You do not know how it will happen. I want you to know that there is one who has been a sign. How shall these things be that Saul becomes Paul? How shall these things be that see first becomes bitter? How shall this thing be that the baron becomes a joyful mother of children? How shall these things be? Leave that to the office of the Holy Spirit. Next time the devil comes with the voice of doubts and fear, Listen carefully, I like you to give him. Look Chapter one and verse thirty five. The Holy Ghals, Hallelujah, shall come upon you, Man of God. How shall it be that you will suddenly become the anointed version of yourself? The Holy Ghals shall come upon you, the Holy Ghost. When the Holy Ghost comes upon men, he can turn every desert land. Did the Bible not say in Isaiah? That is two one, verse fifteen, Until the spirit be poured upon us. From on high? Then he says, the will that has will be counted for a fruitful fine, and a fruitful fine. Be counted for a forest. That is the assignment of the Holy Ghost. He is able to dry away barrenness, dry away lack of results. That every time men say where is your God, they are simply said, where. Is the Holy Ghost? Where did you leave him? We call God in Manuel? But Jesus said, I am going, But I will not leave you comfortless. There is one who will come and continue my ministry. He's shot being you and with you. The Lord walking with them confirming the world with signs following. This I believe this. I believe that the Holy ghosts can trans Listen, everywhere you see an extraordinary manifestation of the glory of God. Everywhere you see. Men and women who is as thought they are no longer a human. It looks like a transition has happened to them. I am telling you that the face behind every exploit in the Kingdom, that invisible force, is the Holy Spirit. He's the one who turned a timid person, who ran away. These disciples ran away, but when the Holy ghosts came upon them. Let's finish that scripture. How shall these things be? Saying that I know not a man look chapter one and verse thirty five. Gabriel replies, and he says that the Holy ghost look one thirty five, shall come upon you. Give us that scripture. Please. It says, I'm the power of the Highest, shall overshadow you. The power of the Highest, shallow, but shadow you. Feel me up, feel me up, feel me up, feel me feel me up, feel me up, feel me up, feel me. That's our prayer this morning. Feel me up, lie overflow. I wannabuno wanna run old, feel me up, fly. Flo, I wanna about I wanna run can I. Tell you you can say a Lord, but when the Holy goes holds your hand, regardless the background, the man speaking to you is a living testimony that when the Holy Ghost holds your hand, he will turn you into a sin and a wonder, regardless what the limitations are. I came this morning to profess high over someone. The devil has falken over your life and made you believe that you will remain a failure. But I bring you good news. The Bible says. Now, thanks be to God, which causes us always to triumph, and that happens by the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit working with men, turning ordinary men to become science and wonders. You are a man of God. Here, listen to me. It will take more than the exegesis of men's philosophies to transform. He is the invisible, the invisible force behind our speakings. The Bible says, on the day of Pentecost, when the Holy Ghost came upon the disciples who would now be called apostles, they looked at them and said, they said this. Men were drunk with new wine, and Peter said, you're making a mistake. This is that Profet Joel prophesied about it and he said, in the last days, I will pour out my spirit upon our flesh, and your sons and daughters will professed high. Your young men will see visions. When he was done speaking by the Holy Ghost, they were got to the heart, and they said, men and present, what do we do? Is that belief? And thou shall receive this gift for the promises unto you and to your children, to your children's children. As many as the Lord will call. We read about men and women in history as we can frail as they were, what they submitted themselves to this paraclet. The Spirit of God right here in your nation is an archive of. Men and women, ordinary people who believe the Holy Ghost enough, and he turned them into global wonders. Our father and the Lord is a testament of what God can do with a man. To pick a man from your lonly estate. Listen, you do not laugh at any man who has held onto the hand of the Holy Spirit, because you will bury your head in shame forever. The Holy gout is the next part in turning chaos. Believe me, this is beyond motivation. I am not teaching you conningly devise fables that if you submit yourself to the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Regardless the failures past, he will so elevate you you will need a telescope to look at your former self. You will not find that fashion again. Someone shout Holy Spirit one more time, Say Holy Spirit. For the last time, Say Holy Spirit. This is a path that leads men to glory. Ordinary men lifted by the spirit, ordinary men helped by the spirits, ordinary men empowered by the spirits. They looked at any who had said, you are such a young man. From whence did you have this intelligence? Instead? I wanted to speak, but because I was surrounded by elderly people, I couldn't speak. But there is a spiriting man. There is a spirit in man. There is a spirit in man, and the inspiration the breath of the Almighty can make men of understanding. I profess high to you that from today your life becomes a sin and a wonder. Please be seated, Please be seated. Ama Shinkha Paru theater the spirits of the Living Girl. You can fail alone, but not with him. Many of you have failed because you are doing business alone. Many of you have failed because you are school alone. Many of you have. Failed because you are running your home alone. The Bible says, with God. With God means involving. Him and allowing him to take the lead all things. All things are possible. All things are possible. You can fail alone, but I assure you you cannot fail with Him. America, listen to me. The Bible says in Proverbs, Chapter three and verse five, trusting the Lord with all your heart. He says, and lean not onto your own understanding. Verse six says, in all your ways, acknowledge Him, and he shall direct your path. Verse seven says, be not wise in your own eyes. It says, hear the Lord, and turn away from evil. I believe in the power of the mind. I believe in intellectual prowess. What can I tell you when we become a generation that over depends on our mind as against the leadership of the Holy Spirit, we will only schedule ourselves for circles of pain and disappointment. I hope you know that before time began he was, He has lived with men. The Holy Spirit is not an apprentice as far as making men greatest concern. Read your Bible and watch the ordinary men who yielded themselves to him, and watch what he turned. Their lives to. Become the Holy Spirit. Can we continue? The second ministry that we must submit ourselves to is the ministry. Of the world, the ministry of the world. In John Chapter one, from verse one, the Bible says, in. The beginning was the Word. In the beginning was the Word, and the word was with God. And he says the word was God. Verse two says the same was in the beginning with God. Verse three says, all things were made. I like this scripture. All things they all things that includes your finances, say, all things that includes your job. All things were made by Him and without him, meaning outside of the influence of the world. Was not anything made that was made. I like that. Outside of the world, was not anything made that was made. The Word of God is a maker Collosians one and verse sixteen. Let me show you the excellency of the world Collosians one and verse sixteen. Please write and then look up when it's projected Colosians one and verse sixteen. By him, the him being the Word of God. All things created that are in heaven, that are in the earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, whether they be dominions, whether they be principalities or powers, All things were created by Him and for him. The Word of God. Listen, the word of God reveals to us the ways of God. If you're writing, please write that down. The word of God reveals to us the ways of God. When you give diligence to the study of scripture, you learn the ways of God, the motives of perandi of the Kingdom. Hallelujah, you learn the mysteries of the Kingdom. Matthew thirteen and verse eleven. Matthew thirteen and verse eleven. Jesus is teaching and is said, because it has been given onto you America, to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Rats. By laws and by principles. Are we together, And the principles of the Kingdom are captured in scripture. Oftentimes you would see Jesus use stories and parables to show us the principles of the king Kingdom. And that from a child now has known the. Holy Scripture, which is able to make you wise onto salvation. Am I right on that when you submit yourself to scripture, it will turn you in partnership with the ministry. Of the Holy spirit to a sign and a one that listened to me in this kingdom. The manifestation of eternal life is knowledge dependent. Please listen. The manifestation of eternal life is knowledge dependent. Now you can buy me the latest iPhone. Say, imagine that I received a gift from you. You brought me the latest iPhone. Now, how many of you know that that gadget has a lot of abilities. There are many things it's able to do. Are we together? But whether or not I am able to operate it effectively depends on my knowledge. You will be surprised that, in the presence of such a sophisticated gadget, the only thing. I might use it for is to make calls. I am under utilizing potential that is in that gadget. So there are many people who are not able to manifest the fullness of the life that they have received. And it is simply because we are bankrupt of the requiside level of spiritual knowledge. Say knowledge, please shouted, say knowledge. Let the devil hear you say knowledge. This kingdom is knowledge dependent. Efficients chapter four and verse eighteen, the Bible says, having their understanding backend been alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their minds. So when you live in ignorance, you will be shortchanged and never be able to manifest the reality of that life you. Have received ignorance, ignorance. Many believers are ignorance as to the ways of God. And for a few believers, like you may have heard me say in my teachings, we have little knowledge, but it is not sufficient to command the kind of results. That we desire. Now, please look at me. I presume that many of us here, you know, have passed through the educational system that we have here. How many of you know that there is a great system in every college? Am I right on that? At least we know that it ranges between A for distinction and F for fail? Am I right on that? Now, when if students cause F, it doesn't mean the students called zero. It just means it means that he did not pass enough. Are we together now? The student who did not write the exams, and the student who's got ten percent, and the student who's got thirty five percent, they all God, f can you imagine that? So do not say I know something. There is a requisite level of knowledge that is connected to every manifestation of glory. So first contern Chapter eight and verse two leaves us with a caution and an instruction. He says, if any man thinks that he knows anything, he says, let that man know that he knows nothing as he ought to know, as he ought to know. I know something little about prosperity. I know something little about divine health. I know something little about influence. I know something little about prayer. I know something little about victory. That will only leave you a frustrated Christian. You must contend for high level spiritual illumination. My Bible, says John one and verse five. It says the light shined in the. Darkness, and the darkness comprehended it. Not if this entire beautiful auditorium were completely dark and you put on the light from your phone. I hope you know that is light, but not light enough to turn this place into day. For many of you. The reason why there still. Lingers around your life the dominion of darkness, is that your light is not bright enough. You need to settle down and contend for knowledge. Knowledge. What does it take to prosper what does it take to be lifted? What does it take to be favored. Do not say the nation and the gates of America isn't treating me well. No, no, no. You define your possibilities based on the truths that you know. The Bible, says an Isaac. Soul in that land and received in that same land the hundred fold, and the man began to prosper. He went forward to the extent that the Phinnish times envied him. Plain a strange land. I am in a foreign land. Go and read about Joseph One, who went into Egypt as a prisoner, but on the strength of what he knew, he rose until he became the prime minister. Go and read about Daniel, who reigned and excel through the dispensation of three or four kings. Regardless of policies, he rose above them. There is a factor that leads men and both systems and structures, is called favor. So my chance for you is you need to contend for higher levels of the world, higher levels of the world, higher levels of the world, higher levels of the world. The study of one verse fat they will not empower you to reign. You need high level spiritual illumination. Isaiah, chapter sixty and verse one. It says our rise, shine for your life is come. Please say it after me, our eyes. You are speaking to your destinies. Say our eyes, say shine one more time. Say arise, say shine. Call your name, Joshua, tellman, arise, Shine, Arise, Shine, Arise Shine. But the sense for your light is calme. You do not arise because you are tired of the ground. You do not arise because you've been there a long time. Even if you've been there for thirty eight years. Sympathy will not take you up. It takes light light of the world. You step down into darkness. Open my hair, lend me. That's a prayer this morning. Will you open my hair, lend me. You're the lights of the world. You step down into darkness. Oh my lend me see allelujah. Knowledge is powerful, Ignorance is connected to fear. Will always hear what you do not understand. You will always share what you do not understand. Dominion in this kingdom is the products of your comprehension of the Word of God. Dominion in this kingdom is predicated upon high level spiritual illumination. The Lord is speaking to someone this morning. Submit yourself to the ministry of the world. Submit yourself to the ministry of the world. There are so many people who are looking for anointing and power, and that is wonderful. But you see the value of the anointing is that it comes upon a vessel that is filled with the word if. The word of God. If you are not full of the world, you will short change the potential of the anointing. Are we together? The oil will always assume the shape of the vessel. If the vessel is small, the oil will look small. So the prophet said, the problem is not the oil. Go and borrow vessels. Expand your understanding, it says, borrow not a fhe. What do you know about favor? What do you know about speed? What do you know about restoration? What do you know about Jesus? What do you know about Satan? What do you know about flure? What do you know about success? What do you know about lifting my goodness? What do you know about victory? You must become a student of scripture. The difference between a French graduate from a medical school and a consultant is knowledge and experience. While the former, even though might be confused over certain cases, they would need to refer that case to a consultant, and with mastery and confidence he can look at you and say, I know what is wrong with you, and begin to write you a prescription without fear. Knowledge gives you confidence. The Bible says, wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your times. Isaiah's sixty and US one, that amplified rendition says, arise from the depression and the prostration. That circumstances have kept you. It says, rise to a new life. Can I tell you the knowledge of the world is an equalizer. It brings every destiny to have the same access to greatness regardless your limitations. You may not have the leverage of a wealthy family to start which you may not have the leverage of time. Perhaps you began to post your destiny late. I have hope for you. I have a word of hope. Once you can lean to the word of God, it will elevate you as to you in a lift, and it will lift you in no time to rise to a position of greatness. This I know, this, I believe. I believe the word of God. I commend you to God and to the word of his grace. Again, let me repeat that the word of God reveals the ways of God. Shotting the Word of God is the modus or parandi of the Kingdom. It helps you understand how the kingdom functions. Allelujah. An attack on your word study life is an attack on your destiny. Please write this very quickly. Let me give you a threefold approach to maximizing the word of God. Let me give you, am I wasting your time this morning? A threefold approach to maximizing the word of God. Number one, The first thing you do with the word of God is to study it. The first thing you do with. The word of God in order to be a manifestation of the glory of God is to study the word of God. This is very important. Study the word of God. Study the word of God. It says, study to show yourself approof onto God. A workman that needed not to be ashamed. Rightly dividing the word study, study, it's a product of your mind. You will have to sit down and invest truth, discipline, and responsibility. Are we together? Study the word of God. Get materials that can help you. It says, buy the truth and sell it not. There are many currencies that you can use to buy the truth. Number one. The currency of hunger number two, the currency of humility. Number three the currency of diligence. These are all currency with which you will use to buy the truth by the truth, he says. And tell it not. So you study the word number two. What do you do with the word in order to maximize the ministry of the word. Listen to the word the hearing that produces faith. Please write, this is the training this morning. You don't just study the word. You hear the word. You hear the word. And God said, and God said, as soon as Adam in Genesis one twenty six to twenty eight, as soon as Adam was from the first thing he heard was the voice of God. And God blessed him, saying, saying, Abah, coach Shephaiah, saying, it matters what you hear, the Bible says. And the Lord was walking in the cool of the day, and he said, Adam, where art thou? And Adam repat him. Now in a fallen stage, I. Heard your voice, but I hate because I was naked. Here was a question. Who told you? You've opened your ears to another influence. Your life has now begun to move in the direction of another influence outside of my voice. You must be careful what you hear, because what you hear has the power to channel the cause of your destiny. What you hear, even the dry bones in Ezekil thirty seven, they became an exceeding great army because. Of the power of sound. I profside as I was commanded, and there was a sound. Let me speak over someone, whatever has made your ears to be dull of hearing spiritually, in the name of Jesus Christ, let that ear be open now. The Bible says he that has an ear, That means not everybody has that kind of ear. He was speaking to people. Who were alive. There is a kind of ear that needs to be open, and that happens when you hear scripture. In the name of Jesus, I'm spriaking to someone death years. Be open now, so you starty the word of God, and you hear the word of. God, not place it down. Psychologists agree, even with religion, on this that your life will revolve around and towards. Your most dominant thoughts. Am I right on that this is true. This has been intellectually established and confirmed that what becomes your dominant thoughts the possibilities in your life, will be an eventual reflection of the content in your mind. That is true. Many of us occupy ourselves with all kinds of negative information, antiized information, and then you find out that your life begins to revolve and it moves around a trajectory that you do not want. You have a responsibility to buy the truth. Listen to teachings, Listen to scripture. Today's world provides us on advantage as fun in the scripture is concerned. All you need to go is to go online, and you will find bibles a your bibles and all kinds of death. In fact, you even have the words of Jesus that has been singled out that you listen again and again and again and again and again because faith Bible. Faith comes a hearing, and the hearing that produces understanding. There are two kinds of hearing. The first produces awareness, the second produces understanding. So you study the scripture, you hear the scripture. Are you ready for the third dimension? You speak the scripture. This is powerful. The Bible says, Let the Redeemed of the Lord help me say so, not wish so, not just think so. Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so. Let the healed of the Lord stay. So, let the blessed of the Lord. Say so, let the victorious of the Lord stay. So, let the triumphant in destiny say so. Say so that I am the head and not the tale. Say so that the favor of God is around me as a shield. Say so that the. Townsand shall fall by my side, and ten thousands by my right side. But none shall harm me with my eyes. Will I see and behold the reward of the wicked. Says so that my life is pulah, and hepstipah. Say so that the favor of God is upon my life. Say so that I rise and shine, for my light is come, and the glory of the Lord reason upon me. Say so that the Lord is my light and my salvation. Of whom shall I be afraid of? The Lord is the strength of my life. Say so that they may come against me one way, and that in seven ways, so that I shall be exalted above the nations of the earth, and all these blessings shall come. Upon me and overtake me. Say so that in the name of Jesus, I am like a tree that brings his fruit in season, whose lives does not with her. And everything I do prospers. Say so, I'm speaking about myself. I don't know about you, but that in. The name of Jesus Christ, no we punt fashion against me will prosper, and that every tongue that rises up against me will fall in judgment. Say so, I am the head and not the tail, above and not beneath. Say so, Let the Redeemed of the Lord. Please listen to me. Do not treat your lives the power of speaking the word. Do not treat your lives the power of speaking the world. The word is so powerful. God calls himself the Word. He doesn't call himself prayer, he doesn't call himself fasting. He calls himself the world. Allelujah. Right from my lowly estate, I began to speak the word of God, that the gates of the nations are open for me, and there is no limitation. Whatsoever, in the name of Jesus Christ, he says. Let the Redeemed of the Lord say so, where the word of the King is that your bible not say there is power? Is it true according to Revelations five and ten, that we have been made onto our. God, Kings and Christs, and that we reign on earth? How do you reign. Kings reign by their words, it says, declare, year that dow might test be justified. See the character of the spirit of depression is to bring you to a state of silence. Do you know that when a man is depressed, Satan is after your words, Because if he can manipulate you to get to a point of silence, then he can destroy your life. I refuse to be silent. I refuse to be silent. My Bible says the shouts of joy and victory shall not depart from the tent of the righteous. Someone in one minute, old as with someone by your left, and begin to make any decree of the scripture you can remember. In the name of Jesus, I am blessed in the city, blessed in the country. Put this toward their people in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The hand of the Lord is upon my life. I am a well watered garden. When men say there is a casting down, I decree and declare that there is a lifting up. I go from strength to strength. I go from grace to grace. In my name of Jesus Christ. I go from strength to strength. Someone pray, I go from grace to praise. The favor of the Lord is upon me. I arise and I shine in the name of Jesus Christ, exulted in every nation, finding favor in every nation, blessed highly favor. Go ahead and declare, Go ahead and declare. You're not wasting your time. Give your destiny the gifts of a few minutes of prophetic speaking. I profess high as I was commanded, and there was a sound. Someone professed high. Don't be silent. I profess high as I was commanded. Speak to those pills, speak to that health situation. In the name of Jesus. You are out of my life life and out of my destiny. Casting down every imagination and every high thing that exhorts itself above the knowledge of Christ. Bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. The gods of America open for you, Open for your children. Someone declared in the name of Jesus, fayvor in the city, pay for in the country, by the power of the Holy Spirit. Favor in Texas, by the power of the Holy Spirit. The lines have fallen from me in pleasant places. I have a goodly heritage. In the name of Jesus Christ. Hallelujah. Prays the name of the Lord. Now listen to me. When you learn to study the Word, when you learn to share the Word, when you learn to I think the Word that is a miracule on his way too manifest. That is a sign and a wonder and is way too manifest. The ministry of the Holy Spirit guiding you, helping you in addition to the ministry of the Word. Diligent study, listening to the Word, programming your destiny by the Word, and now making faith filled declarations. Can I give you two more? Please be seated. Someone's life is changing already. My assignment is to make you angry at your current level in the name of Jesus Christ. The Word of God. Number three, the ministry of prayer. This is how we evolve into science and wonder. The ministry of prayer. Allelujah. There's no time I have to work with the time allotted. But according to scripture, please look up. Prayer has four major assignments in the life of the believer. Please write this and never forget it for as long as you live. Prayer has four assignments. First and foremost, do you believe in prayer so that I know that I'm talking to a people who are believers in the ministry of prayer. Let me give you three scriptures that help to settle your passion for prayer. Number one is found in Luke chapter eighteen and verse one. The Bible says, he speake this parable to the end that men ought always to pray and not to fail. Men ought always to pray and not to face. Second scripture first Thessalonians five one, verse seventeen. The Bible says, pray with that out season, pray without season, meaning be. Consistent in your prayer life. James chapter five and verse thirteen, the Bible says, is any man afflicted, he said, let him pray? Is any man afflicted, let him pray. When you read from verse sixteen down to eighteen, the Bible says, the pavant and effectual prayer of the righteous have they led much? The pavant and effectual prayer of the righteous have they led much? Are we together? Jesus was speaking, and he said, He's that told you have not asked for anything. It says, ask and ye shall receive, that your joy may be complete. In Mark chapter eleven, when you read from verse twenty four, Jesus was teaching on faith, and then he introduces the ministry of prayer. It says, very very ica on to you, what things soever ye desire when ye pray, not if ye pray, when ye pray, believe that thou receivest it and thou shall have it. Hallelujah. Prayer is very powerful is one of the foundational principles for the manifestation of victory and glory in the life of the believer. But for the sake of our discussion this morning, let me give you four assignments of prayer in the. Life of the believer. Number one, the first and most superior assignment of prayer, in order of priority, is for. Your growth and transformation. Write that down, please. Most believers do not know that other dimensions of prayer are lesser dimensions relative to this. The primary assignment of prayer is as an agency for your growth and for your transformation. We find that in Luke chapter nine, Please give us first twenty nine. Jesus is in geth semny and he's praying, the Bible says, and as he prayed, or the amount of transfiguration as he prayed, not before he prayed, not while he was wishing to pray, as he prayed, two things happen. Number one, the fashion of his. Countenance was all that. Number two, his raiment became white and glittering. Say transformation. Prayer can change you from a weak you to a strong you. Prayer can change you from a timid you to a powerful you. Prayer can change you from a flesh driven you to a spiritu value. Prayer, if done properly, is powerful. The first assignment of prayer is as an instrument of growth and transformation. Jesus teaching the church and chorins on prayer has this the same He says in First Corinthians. When you read from fourteen and verse two then four, is that he that speaketh in an unknown tongue and defied himself and defied himself should one and then verse twenty says, what ye beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying praying, building up yourselves praying. An attack on your prayer life is a real attack. So the first assignment of prayer, very quickly is for your growth and your transformation. Can I give you the second very quickly? The second assignment of prayer is for making requests and obtaining requests and making petitions write that down. Obtaining requests and making petitions. The biblical platform to call for the assistance of heaven at any given point is to engage to prayer, making requests, and obtaining petitions. The Bible says in Mark eleven and verse twenty four, we read that it says, whatsoever thinks ye desire. When you desire, do not wish. When you desire, do not hope in vain. The Bible says, pray, pray, pray. Jesus was teaching us in what we call the Lord's Prayer Matthew chapter six. It says, pray after this manner our Father, which in heaven, hall, Lord be your name, your kingdom. Come. Your will be done in earth as it is in heaven. Are we together? Then it says, give us this day? How do you ask for your daily bread in prayer? Not by wishing? Give us this day, Give us this day our daily bread. What is your daily bread, that which is required for your sufficiency? Give us this day our daily bread. And that's the second assignment of prayer to obtain requests and. To make petitions. Number three. The third assignment of prayer is for creation and spiritual legislation. This is the prophetic dimension of prayer for creation. You create your realities, You create your destiny. Are we together and you legislate as a king and as a believer that you are for creation and spiritual legislation. The Bible says, where the word of a king is, there is power. Where the word of a king is, there is power. Where the word of a king is, there is power, very very important. Where the word of a king is, there is power. Declare you that that might test be justified. You can create possibilities like we did earlier on in the place of prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ, doors are opening for me. I decree and declare. The Bible says, even God who quick connect the dead and collect the things that be not as. Though they were. It's that in your Bible. So you can use prayer as a platform to call things program realities in your life. For instance, you can tell yourself every day of this year, favor follows me. You are scheduling a season, allelujah. And then number four, the fourth assignment of prayer has refused from scripture, is for. Warfare and intercession. Warfare and intercession. Warfare and intercession, warfare and intercession. It is he Keil chapter twenty two and verse thirty. It is he Keel twenty two and verse thirty. Please give it to us? Is he Keel chapter twenty two and verse thirty. The Bible says, and I sought for a man who would stand in the hedge? Do we have that? Is Hekeel twenty two, twenty two two to two and then three zero. Is he Keel twenty two and verse thirty. I sought for a man who would stand in the hedge that I should not destroy it, and I found none. Prayer is a platform for intercession. Are we together now that you can be here right now, and you can be interceeding for your son somewhere, And by the power of prayer, even intercessory prayer, the spirit of God can go and fish that son from wherever he is and cause him to encounter Jesus. And to return home like a prod Allelujah, and then warfare. Listen. The Bible did not leave us in the dark as to the fact that our world is surrounded by all kinds. Of evil and wicked forces. Script choice reclaire as to the fact that we wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, powers, rulers of the darkness of this world and spiritual wickedness in heavenly places. The Bible says, the whole world lies in wickedness. Is that I desire to come to. You, even I Paul once and again, but Saytann hinder us. You can pray every kind of negative climate out of your life. You can engage in the place of warfare, establishing the victory that has been wrought in Christ, making it manifest here and now. Here and now here and now. You must learn to pray. Listen to me, Satan is not going to fall these arms and allow the gates of your destiny to be open. No, not without warfare. Warfare is establishing the victory that is in Christ experientially wording of all the spiritual limitations that stand to impede or destiny. I made up my mind that in my lifetime no devil nor demon will stand the way to my manifesting the glory of God. For as long as I have the power to pray, I will pray failure out of my life. I will pray weakness out of my life. War Besides the spirit that is sent to block my way because by the power of prayer you can't tell every mountain be lifted. Allelujah. You can take the time to intercede. You can take the time to engage in warfare. Believe us. I bring you a word. If you will be powerful even in America, you must submit yourself to the ministry of prayer. Occasional prayer does not produce a powerful believer. Your prayer must be systemic, and it must be consistent. In Ads Chapter three, Peter and John, we're going to the temple to pray. The Bible says at the hour of prayer, say after me the hour of prayer. You must create through discipline and responsibility, your version of the hour of prayer. Do not allow your job to be an excuse for prayerlessness. I said it yesterday that prayerlessness is pride. Prayerlessness is proof that you do not need the assistance of the government of heaven. And the Bible says, by the arm of flesh shall no man prevail. Say I will pray, prophsie to yourself. Say I will pray. Say it again, I will pray. Say I will pray in the name of Jesus Christ. So obtain grace to pray. Father's in America. Pray mother's in America. Pray. Young people in America pray. Students pray, business man pray. Don't just leave it for men of God. Prayer is for all men. Prayer is for all men. Wake up in the morning and begin to pray. This is the day the Lord has made. I rejoice and I am glad in the office. Pray while you're working. Pray. The first response to anything that is Antichrist in your life and anti prophecy is to pray, even if you do not know what to do. You were laid off or fired. Before you start runting and complaining, pray in the place of prayer. Direction will come, the Bible says, and as they prayed the fasted, the Holy Gooal said to them, separate me, Paul and Banabas. Direction comes in the place of prayer. Lord, should I remain in this city or relocate to another side of America, don't assume there. Is a way that seemeth right. Don't to a man. Let your decisions pass through that demigration system of prayer, so that only that which is consistent with the will of God is allowed to find expression. Pray before you send your children to school. Pray before you decide the college to study. Pray before you decide where to stay. Don't assume the flesh can deceive. Pray for someone. God may tell him go right. But for you God who says stay. In Egypt, and so in Egypt, and the Bible says an isaac sword. In that land. Business Men, pray. Don't just say this is making money. No pray, because, as you will be learning in my later session, it is what is upon your head that governs. What is in your cop that annoying tests my head with oil. He does not annoint your cop. Your copy is a report God. He tells us what is on your head. When your copy is empty, don't blame the job. When your copy is empty, don't blame text us. They are reflections of the bankruptcy of empowerment. That is why I know that tonight, in the name of Jesus, as that Christ comes from someone, your cop will begin to run over, run over, run over. In the name of Jesus Christ, let me give you the last time. Then we'll pray. So I've spoken about the ministry of the Holy Spirit, guiding, leading, empowering you. The ministry of the world, helping you to comprehend the ways of God, and that in engaging the world, we study. We listen. We speak now prayer sponsoring your transformation as you engage it, especially praying the spirit helping you to obtain requests and to make petitions, an instrument of creation, engaging the prophetic dimension of prayer, and then finally as an instrument for warfare and intercession wording of all the demonic arsenals. That are sent to stand the way of your destiny. The last key that I will give you is the corperate fellowship of the brethren. All of this that I mentioned you will find it in Acts, chapter two, hun verse forty two when you read down to forty seven. This was the culture of the early Church. The Bible says they continued steadfastly in their apostles, doctrine, and in breaking of bread like we experienced yesterday, and in fellowship. And in prayer and in prayer. This was the protocol, the pathway that the early Church followed to be mighty men and women, hallelujah, listen to me. The corporate gathering of believers is very important for. Your holistic spiritual growth. There are dimensions of God you will never experience in isolation. You would have to be part of a larger community of believers. Please listen to me. Listen to me. The Bible says in summer hundred and thirty three, it says, how good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity. Says, it is like the oil that comes from the head of eron. Watch this. I will always give this example. So you're in the bathroom about to shower. Watch this. Did you know that your legs do not have to go above your head to experience that process of the shower. It just needs to be connected to the body. Am I right on? That? The part that faces the showers your head. Yet every part of your body, including your feet, benefits because of its connection. If your legs are away from your body, that part of your body would not experience that shower. So you do not need to keep turning around or lifting your legs. No, no, no, no. All you need to do is to make sure every part of your body stands us one and that shower gets to every part of your body. Believe us. When when you watch someone about to cook, I know a lot of you. You barbecues outside and then you use chuck hole and all of that. Now watch this. How many of you know that if you kick one red hot coal and you bring it out and drop it, it begins to grow cold. Am I right on? That it is in the togetherness that that strength and fire remains. So when the devil one s tol destroy a believer, he uses offense, He uses all kinds of things to iso let you away from the. Larger body of believers. Now let me tell you this, when certain ones would destroy you, he will make sure that everyone who can help you spiritually and otherwise, he will create a reason to be offended in them. When you are now a load, then. He strikes you because war Besides that man who is alone, it says two are better than one. If one falls, there will be another to lift him up. There are believers who do not care about church. There are believers who do not care about the things of God. Thank God for the Internet. What can I tell you? The larger body of believers? You must practice habitually the convergence of believers. Everywhere your parish is represented. You owe it as a duty for your own spiritual growth to make sure you are connected tractically to a body of believers, they return to their company. The Bible will say community living. Community living is the key to sustaining Kingdom values. In isolation, you may not have. The courage to do some things, to say no to evil, but as a team you can say no. Together. Are we together? It is His will there every piece supply you are import and to me, I need to survive. I pray for you, you pray for me. Love, I need to listen. There are times you come to church discourage, and from the first song of worship, while everybody is smiling and still greeting, you are crying because that's the answer to your prayer. That only happens in church. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a cinema hall. The Church of the Lord Jesus Christ is not a museum to come and spectate. It is a place where God has chosen to make us his habitation. Can I tell you that church. Every church may have issues here and there, but you must look past every limitation and see Jesus. When you look for Jesus, you will always find him in every true church. Finding perfection as a requirement to be a faithful member of any congregation will only leave you deceived that eventually in pain. Look beyond the limitations and you will see Jesus, Jesus, you believed. That Hai higher, believeded higher. Jesus, you believed it high, Hi Higher believed it high. Let I can believe there. Oh, I'm about to round up. I want you to listen very carefully. Do you know when you come to God, Please listen carefully. When you begin your work with God, purpose and your assignment is not your priority at that point. God does not call men and they come and go on with this. No, when God calls you, he calls you to himself. He does not call you to an agenda. Follow me, not follow it. When I make you, I can send you. There are many people who are following it. That's why they do not find Jesus. Follow me. As you follow me, you will begin to find your place in me. Callosians. After four and verse seventeen, he says, stay onto occupas, take heed to the ministry that thou hast received in the Lord, not from the Lord. To receive in the Lord means you have to be in relationship with the Lord. You can receive from me without contact with me, but you cannot receive in me. Carry your food in the kitchen. That means you have to enter the kitchen to pick it. But carry your food from the kitchen. Someone can help you. God is not just looking for accomplishments. He's looking for relationships. Follow me. I know eventually you will be a prophet, but start by following me. I know eventually you will be an entrepreneur. But start by following me. You do not follow it. You follow me. As you follow him. Looking onto Jesus, who is the author and the finish of our faith, you begin to evolve. And as you follow him, he will now divert you to the geography of your weakness. It is in following him that you begin to know in Him that you were meant to be a prophet. Look up. Every name you see in the Bible is not just the name of a believer. Every name you see in the Bible is also a spiritual pathway that when you follow, you will become a certain kind of believer. So when you see Abraham, Abraham is not just the name of a man. Abraham is a capture of a journey that you can follow God in a certain way and become the father of nations. Elijah is not just a prophet. Elijah represents a spiritual pathway that, when you follow, you can become a mighty. Prophet over nations. Esther is not just the name of a woman. Esther said definition of a kind of call and assimate that requires you interacting with royalty to preserve the purposes of God. That means, as you begin to work with God, eventually there is a name in the Bible that starts reflecting to your life and destiny. That is the pathway and match for you to follow. Listen carefully, there are many of you. As you begin to work with God, you see your life looking like Esther, and you know that that is the formation of your destiny. You discover your destiny as you follow him. You don't just invent and say I can't talk well, I think I'm a preacher. No someone learning. So as you work with God, you will find out that your life is. Looking like Joseph A first all, I love the Lord with all my heart, but even those who are close to me have betrayed me, and I keep moving. From city to city. Does that look like the young boy who had a dream saying the sun, the moon and eleven starts vowing you can't find the parallel of your destiny in scripture hidden in the names of men that you call Peter, that you call Andrew. I used to hate church, I used to hate the things of God. You may say I used to hate anything spiriritual. Does that sound to me like Paul who let her be him the great Apostle? Now that you are safe, no wonder. Your passion seems to be greater than everyone. At the end of your life, your name should not just be a description of you. Your name should have been a pathway that you live for generations that when they want to learn God in a certain way, when they said Joshua Sellman, you see so you can say, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, this has spiritual pathways to learn in God? What pathways your name creating for the generations to come? There are names you do not want to be associated with, for instance Jezebel, because Jezebel is also a pathway, for instance Delilah. Why they represent pathways of the douction, destruction, Sein. And hell and death. Can we pray for a few minutes as we wrap up the morning, Please rise Allelujah. We're going to pray. No, don't stop. I just been taking higher for me. Oh been lifted above a love us. We lay in our crown and were shap you. Oh be lifted above a love. We lay in our grounds and. Share all gloriousca We pray, we lay. Listen today, how glorious God save? We praise your name. We lay right word hear me America. For every one of us who is standing here under the sound of my voice, and the many who are following by way of television or Internet, I want you to know that God is counting on you. It is not just in Manuel God with you, but that you become a reflect of His glory. Not everyone had to climb the mountain to see God. One man called Moses went up and saw the glory of God, and it leaped upon his face such that every other person. Who saw him also saw God through him. Listen carefully. There are many, many, many people who are depending on the revelation of God through your life to them. The Bible calls us living epistles that your life becomes a Bible. Someone may not buy this, but they can watch this and see the excellency of the glory of God in and through your life. I do not know. What may be going wrong in your life right now. For many, you are yet to even make Jesus a lord of your life in the first place. For others, you are genuinely saved, but you have not been intentional about your growth. I have shown you by the spirit a roadmap. The ministry of the Holy Spirit, the ministry of the world, the ministry of prayer, the corporate gathering of believers. These are the elements that produce mighty men in this kingdom. There is no other way. It is an ancient parth. It is a landmark that should. Not be shifted.
