Hallelujah, Praise the Lord. It's such a great honor to be here this morning. I'm sincerely homebood, sincerely hombood. To be standing on this exhorted platform, such a great honor. I want to appreciate our father in the Lord this morning, our dad in the house, Pastor. Alfred, it's your way. Come on, Is that the best you can't do? Celebrate that glory to God. It's such a privilege to be here this morning. You know that is one of the big names in the gospel in this country. You know you are in the East, so you may not understand. You are in the East, so you may not understand some of us that are far. When we hear names of people who are in the ranks of men like Isaiah Buba, we hear names of people who are in the ranks of the biggest geos like w Kumuwe you know that every time you stand before them, then you are humbled. You are humbled. When you are done preaching, you ask them hope. There's no error both in doctrine and in ethis because by reason of stature, they have attained the rank in the spirit where they can correct, where they can instruct and where they can steward the mysteries of the kingdom. So it's such an honor to be ministering in the presence of our Father this morning, and I trust that the Lord will help us to be blessed ritually once again. Can you please celebrate Jesus for our Father, for his work, for his lap of love. Glory to God, Alleluiah. So difficult to preach on a platform like this. My Father and the Lord himself have been here before, so I wonder what I will tell you. But the world of God is fresh and new every morning. I'm here in the company of my friend bastarchideberier Manor Hallelujah. Can we just lift up our hands and appreciate Jesus one more time this morning. We've come to the last day of the meeting. There's a mystery about the last day of every meeting. It is not just the climax. It's not just the climax. It is a day of resurrection, a day where the fullest dimensions of the oppressions of God are given expression. The last day of every meeting, it's a very important and strategic day. Can you please ask the Lord to minister to you this morning. It's possible to have missed out on the first day, it's possible to have missed out on the second day, but you cannot miss out on the last day. You have to be brutal with your faith this morning. You have to be very decisive. You have to be very conscious and deliberate this morning that I must be blessed. You don't let the windows to close without receiving your own measure of what the Lord have brought you away in this season. Ask the Lord to minister to you by his word, the Bible said in first Sawad of the three verse twenty one, he said, and the Lord appeared again in Shiloh. The Lord revealed himself in Shiloh by the word of the Lord. Can you ask that the Lord we minister to you this morning? What is that mounting before you? What is that challenge before you? What is that thing that have been fighting you from taking depths in the spirit? Can you ask the Lord to reveal himself so that, by the strength of the Spirit, you will conford your limitations. By the strength of the Spirit, you will shatter the impediments that have kept you in one spot for too long. Joseph was in prison for a very long time. He was treating with the Word of God. He was trading with the word of God. What things were not changing until the time that is word came. Can you ask that your ward will come this morning? Can you ask that your ward will come this morning? It's going to be a very short session, but it doesn't take God eternity to do that. Put sitana, It's only a moment of the spirit. And if you can dash into the windows, a lot of things will be alltered forever. Ask the Lord for administration. And so, precious Father, will thank you for this privilege this morning to gather together again under the umbrella of your spirit. We ask that you will instructor us by your spirit. We ask that you impart us by your life and with the energy of your reality, so that as we depart, Lord, we will carry the atmosphere of your spirit to our very sphares of reference. We act that every one of us wholl be inspired deep in our heart to develop a personal relationship with You that is beyond activities, religion and the cliche that is going on in the body. We ask that every one of us we know you for who you really are, and that you begin to help us to walk according to the blueprints of our destiny. Thank you Father in Jesus precious name. Hallelujah, you may be seated God, bless you. Glory to the Lamb, Gluy to the Father. He was seated on the truth. Alelujah, Glory to the Glury to the Father. He was heated on the truth. Don't give me the floating sound. Let's continue. Yesterday we attempted to see what it meant to walk with the Lord. We attempted to see what it meant to be grounded. We attempted to see what it meant to be truly in sync with the Holy Spirit. And I began to establish that there is a place of cerebra doctrina articulation, there is a place for accurate understanding of doctrine. I began to tell us that there is a place for the activity of the mind. But the work of the Faith is not a function of mental inclinations. The work of the Faith is beyond the mind. The mind is included because it is part of our constitution, and in order for us to interact with ourselves in this frame of reference, it's important for us to make use of the mind, and that is why the mind is included in this business. But it is beyond the mind. And in order to validate this position, I showed us a scripture in John chapter three, how that Jesus began to engage Nicodemus. He called him a man, a Pharisee, a ruler, and a Jew. But with all of his credentials, with. All of his learning, with all of his knowledge of the understanding of the Torah, with all of his understanding of the laws of Moses, he did not know what the law he and he did not know the emphasis and the essence of the law. He did not even. Understand whom the law was talking about. When he came face to face with the one he had been researching all his life, he could not recognize who he was because all his businesses, all his work, was subject to mentory God. They were cerebra people. In fact, in the culture of the Jews, before you are considered the man, you must have developed commitment with the Torah until you can recite the Torah. So they understood the position the precepts of God, they understood the laws of God, but they never knew that the emphasis of the Law was to reveal to them their inadequation so that they can turn to the Messiah. And when he stood face to face with the Messiah, he didn't know him. He said, we know that thou hast a teacher come from God. For no one can. Do the miracles that thou do it except God be with him. Excuse Messa, the person you are talking with God is not with him. He is God. But he didn't know that the one he was trying to worship through his body of the world, the one he was trying to worship, being a pharisee, a member of the san hendring correcting doctrine and bringing people to the tutilage of the things of God, was the very one he stood before. But because he did not have a root in the spirit, he could not recognize the Messiah when he showed up. And Jesus did not confront the ruler. Jesus did not confront the member of the son Hendry. Jesus did not confront the doctor of the Law. Jesus confronted the man, and the region Jesus confronted the man was because his very foundation was wrong. Jesus began to tell him that you were not born correctly these matters we are talking about. Before you include the mind, you must have to go back to the root, which is in the spirit. And Jesus said, except. A man be born again, he cannot know, he cannot perceive, he cannot discern, he cannot see the Kingdom of God. You think this business is about the mind, No, no, no, no no. This business is deeper than the mind. The root of this business is actually in the spirit. And it said that which is spirit is spirit, that which is flesh is flesh. Nico demos. Everything you know and have been doing is flesh. Before you can begin and be accurate, you have to come and first of all be planted in the foundation of reality, which is in the spirit. It was because of his inadequasis in the best process that made his efforts to be futile. So I may us understand that you can carry out a lot of activities for God with a pure heart, but if it is not born of the spirit, it will not sustain a texture that emotives. Will approve of. You can be in the choir singing with the wonderful voice, but if your foundation is not of the spirit, even though people we enjoy it it will not pass the taste of the motives. Because Jesus did not just stop at the bed process. Jesus said, as the wind blow it doubt list that's. Not from whence it comments or where it goes. It says, so had they that are born of the spirit. The emphasis of Jesus is that it's not just enough to be. Born of the spirit. Every preceding activity, every preceding function you carry out for God, must also have its foundation in the spirit. We see a churche today where a lot of young people are doing what they are doing, and you can see that the energy that they drove their inspiration from missing the flesh. So when the prayer meeting is going on, the guy it's not praying until you give him the microphone. And then when he's on the microphone, he becomes a wide lion. That is because he has come up the stage. Now everybody can see him now, so he begins to use the energy of the flesh to impress everybody. The prayer can be very loud, but in the. Scales of the spirit, if you see from the vistas of the spirit what is doing, it's actually the noise making because it will not pass the test of the motors, people will not go for evangelism, or people will not be serious with the walk in the church. But the moment they set man comes in, everybody becomes very active. They are subscribing to the energy of the spirit of the flesh. The moment you connect to the. Spirit, the spirit becomes the source of your inspiration, and the spirit also becomes the source of your empowerment. So the more you do it, the stronger you become. The more you do it, the stronger you become. And it doesn't matter who is seeing you, because there is a new consciousness that that which you are. Doing, you are doing before God. That is when your work with God begins to gain texture and value. But we have people today that are disconnected from the spirit. And I told you, if you are disconnected from the spirit, you are like a balloon. You have no reference. What keeps us on ground in this region is the force of gravity. The balloon has lead to or no effect of gravity on it, so it floats about. If you leave the balloon and then you go today, you may find it in five years if it does no explode in Macady, and it will continue going like that. It has no reference. That's how the life of many people is. They float from left to right. They float from right to left. There is no orientation because they are not connected to the spirit. And if you are not connected to the spirit, there is no way you can find your destiny. Because I made us understand that this spirit is the manuir of creation. When man fell, the spirit was withdrawn. The moment the spirit was withdrawn, the prophecy that is upon the human race was that they know not neither could they understand. They walk on in darkness the moment the spirit is exonerated from your life. No matter what you think, you are wrong, no matter how intelligent it you are wrong. Why because there is a knowledge gap, there's a knowledge cap. You cannot actually tell what your life is about, because only the spirit has what it takes to review to you the reason why you were born. You may be in a location and then because everybody there is doing well in business, you follow them. You may be in a location because everybody is taught in medicine, you follow them. You may be in a location because everybody is going to torch, you follow them. You can never know the knowledge that you power your existence, because that knowledge is locktop in the spirit. God deliberately designed it like that, because when man was created, man was created with the imitation. He had a vacuum. He can only express by the inspiration of spirits. So you can never have expression except you connect with the spirit. And the only spirit that can give. You the knowledge that is consistent with your purpose is the spirit that was responsible for your design. So when it was withdrawn, he said, they know not, and because they know not, they cannot understand the true meaning life. If you go to eternity, you'll be surprised. That the people who will be relevant, they are not the people that are big on it. That is why when Jesus chain fisher men were the most significant people in the cave. They were doctors of the law. But they carry fisher men. The world where me and you are going to, the pillars of that world is built by fishermen. And by this period, the things they attered they are studied in schools of theolo duty. Today professors cannot discern them because came they drew knowledge from that which has an ethanoscope. They had an understanding that transcend time. They are transistor to They are base studied, and we can still not understand them, because they're as deep as the one that gave it to them. When God gives you knowledge, the knowledge you receive it's as deep as God. And that knowledge does not just come to inform you. That knowledge comes to transform you. It is a kind of knowledge that is called in the Greek epignosis. It's an experiential dimension of knowledge. You interact with it, and after why you discover that you have become like that which you know, that was what man did not have because the man was withdrawn. They know not neither we they understand. It's say therefore they work on in darkness. That choice you made apart from the spirit. Is darkness is wrong. You'll be surprised that you choose to study medicine without the Holy Spirit. That medicine you have choosen have taken you away from your destiny forever. It is only when you come back to. The terminal in eternity that you discover that you went like this. If by salvation and by grace you are brought back all the root you are supposed to follow, you exempted it, so in time you will have no value. So in the world to come, you'll be the least. Because Until you follow the compass of the Spirit, you cannot for few purpose, And if you do not for few purpose in eternity, you have no value, even if grace takes you there. That's why it becomes important that Christianity begins on the foundation of the Spirit. And I told you there are a lot of things we know that looks intelligent, so robust and profound, but they do not pass the scales of the motives. When Jesus said, who do men say I am? In Madud chapter sixteen best fourteen, they brought the. Conclusions of the doctors of the law or the school of thought in their generation. They got their conclusion. He says, some say you are John the Baptist. Why John the Baptist was the herald of the Messiah. There was darkness in Israel for four hundred years until John the Baptist began to profess her There was no profit in the land for four hundred years until John the Baptist came. So he was the only prophet that that generation knew. When he died. Eventually, and somebody has showed up with science and wonders, they now concluded that this man must have been John, because he was the prophet. He went back to the land of the dead, and now he has come back with power as intelligent as it looked. It was an error. It's a Some say you are Elias, because according to them, a liars was a prophet that operated in the strongest dimension of the supernatural. He could caut. Down fire from heaven at his weir. If somebody can operate like this, this per say, has no match, must be a liars. They were wrong. These were not the conclusions of the disciples. These were the conclusions of the different schools of thought of their generation, the different sects of the Pharisees, the Sadducees. These were their conclusions. Is there something you are Jeremiahs They were wrong. Some say you are one of the prophets. They were all wrong, But they're A man stood up by the Holy Ghost and made a statement, a statement that was not up to fifteen lines. He said, now at the Christ, the. Son of the Living God. He spoke from the foundation of the spirit, And one fisherman was more accurate than more than four hundred doctors of the law put together, because he was speaking from the foundation of the spirit. So if you will labor to achieve anything in your work with God is to have alignment with the Holy ghosts. If you must labor to achieve anything with God, you must come into experiential relationship with the Holy Ghost. We have many prophetic colleges today. The best they do is to cust people out of the Holy Spirit and depend on a man. So somebody wants to travel, he wants to hear from a prophet. Meanwhile, our dispensation is a dispensation that have a prophetic orientation. Everyone has the Holy Ghost in him and because of that they can hear the voice. Of God for himself. But we have not been trained the prophets that are supposed to make us come to maturity. In defeat, they have made up beabes forever. So somebody wants to hear God, he goes to a man. It is an error, and that is because our Christianity is now trying to survive apack from the Holy Spirit. So you come to church. We try to make up for our inadequationis so we develop geologists that stare the emotions of people, and we try to create an atmosphere that stared the emotion. And because people are liquid on the floor everywhere, we say God is there. And at the end of the day, the same people that fall down ten times in ten meetings they go back and they are as bad. They devil himself. You open the hearts of many people. It is iniquity that controls them because they don't understand that the iniquity is a mystery. It is not an act. It's called a mystery. And until you invoke the mystery of Godliness, you cannot challenge the mystery of iniquity. The Bible spoke about Jesus. He said, the prince of this world come met to me and find that nothing. Why because he lived by the power of the Holy Spirit. That power was called the Spirit of Holiness. It was because of the oppression of the Spirit of Holiness and Jesus that he could not see. So he did not engage life based on what he knows. He engaged life based on what was working on in inside. So he said, the words that I speak is the Father that is. In me, that is working. Jesus gave reference to the foundation of the spirit. He was always connected to the spirit, because apart from. The Spirit, you cannot survive. And I asked us a question yesterday, when was the last time you heard the voice of God? What was the last thing you did? And you did it because God told you to do it? What was the last when you check that, we give you an idea how far you are from the spiritual so of For us, the last time God gave us an express instruction was four years ago. That means for the past four years you have been living your life based on tryan error. Hallelujah, Glory to the Lamb, Glory to the Father. You were seated on the troll. How disconnected we are, no wonder every one of us is so overboding by names. And I told us the implication is this, if you're not connected to a spirit, you will be a slave of another spirit. Because man was not designed to order steps. It's not giving to man that work it to order his steps. In this world, you cannot leave apart from a spirit. And I told us, on account of the four there are different governments that have been put in place, the government of the Holy Spirit and the government of all the celestial spirits that fail from heaven. I said, they are called principalities and powers. They are called the rulers of the darkness of this war. They are called spirit to our wickedness in. The heavenly places. By the way, while you can cast out the demon, you cannot cast out the principality, because the principality does not possess people. A principality rules over territories. So when you come to a territory, you are already under an influence. The only thing you can do is to soak into the spirit until you are removed from that influence. That's why the way we talk, the way we think, the way we act, the way we dress, all of them are inspirations. But if we are not taught, we will not understand that we have empowered by spirits. I told us the first in principalities to when they come to a territory is that they raise men who we help them create a civilization. And I took us back to the days of Moses, how that the wise men beaut the civilization. I took us back to Babylon, how. That the wise men astrologers. They could gaze at the moon, and by the alignment of the moon, the sun and the star, they will tell you when to design the festivals that will take place in the season. They will tell you when to enact loss, they will tell you the kinds of loss were not. So if you are in Babylon, you're already under the influence of a prince. And when Dannie had tried to challenge it, he confronted with the Prince of Passia, because it was not the Buccanniza that was ruling the land, it was the Prince of Pasia. Because pirits controls civilizations, they raise witches, they grow into warlocks, they grow into sages, and they shape territories. Before you ever walked into it, the foundation of that territory has already been shipped. So when you are in the Easter and you love Bunny, it's not because you're a man who lost money. There is a force walking in the atmosphere. If you're in the is and you think value is only by mon is not like that. It speriod have shaped the atmosphere already, So when you come on that that atmosphere, it begins to regulate your mind. Even the most ended nations in this world are built by powers of principalities. I told you, I gave you a logical plantation that you saw. Most of you have watched Melan. Those are the times when the foundation of Great Britain was built. They are built by warlocks. A warlock is more than a which A warlock is a witch that have grown in ranking and they cannot participate with falling angaels. So falling angels teaching the technology of shaping the territory, so they manipulate the kings, They manipulate the loss of the land. They maney pulled the atmosphere. When you come onder that territory, you must suck into another period that have authority beyond the technology that warlock have instituted by the intelligence of a fallign angel. That is the only time you can see. God and work for him. When you see men rise, they will tell you the dreams they confront any time that has time, let him tell you what it meant to build an auditorium like this. Then you understand it's not about how to preach. Where you collide with beings in the spirit, even if it's business you are doing. There's a threashold you will not cross. If you read that tresshood is spirit to appear to you. You must end time to fraternity with this spirit before you can cross a level of life. Because period governs the oppressions of men. But we have a Christianity where we think it is about the mind. We go and read books and then we come to talk. Nobody has a root in this period, No wonder, many churches, many pastors, many evangelists, many prophets that what the world is growing darker? It's growing darker. They teach you how to survive apart from God. They make you think your value is in your education. They make you think your value is in your beauty. It's a lie. You cannot be defined by a certificate. As beautiful as education is. You are bigger than certificates, as beautiful as some of us look. We are bigger than our looks. But we are not taught correctly that value is actually in this spirit that is walking on the wine side. What is the spirit that walk in you? That is the true measure of your life. If the spirit walking in you is the Holy Ghost, then you can stand in the class of God. And every time you come to a place God, we back you. If it's business, you are doing the favor of God, we back you. If it is preaching, you are preaching the power of God, we back you. Why because the spirit you are aligned with It brings you into His realm of reality. But most of us don't know God. We know about God, but we don't know him. Those were the liberals. I try to establish yesterday so that you will go back and find out what it means to know God and to live by God. The great men of faith they lived by God, they live by God. How many of us here know the voice of God? How many of us here leave by the instruction of God? That is what Christianity means. It's not a religion where you join because we were born into it. It's not a religion you join because it's modest. It's not a religion where you join because it's good and knives. No, it's a life, a life that is administrated by spirit. And if you have not come to terms with that spirit, you have not begun to leave. I told you the day you begin to walk by the Holy Ghost, that is the day your life begins to have meaning. Because meaning cannot even be calculated in time. Meaning can only be calculated in eternity. It is in eterality that meaning is calculated. People may judge you by the number of cars you have, but the houses you build they perish. I told you to go back and take an analysis of the buildings that were built fifty years ago. If those men know the more you know now, they wouldn't have wasted their times on building. Now. I'm not saying building is bad. What I'm telling you should not define your essence. You may be young, but because you came fifty years after them, you now realize that car this was a waste because most of the building are already dilapidated. You don't build your life on things that perish. You build your life on a scale that isna. That's why your journey in life was beginning with alignment with the spirit. If you have not aligned, you have not started living. This morning, I want to show you some of the gates of securing in alignment. Unfortunately we don't have time. Maybe i'll just speak one so that I don't tell you. It's about spirit, spirit pity, and you don't know how it is achieved. There's a way you. Get there, an it must take responsibility on your part. The preacher will show you a lot of things. The preacher can even push you by prophetic powers. But if you don't take responsibility in this kingdom, you'll be lost. You'll be without reference. You take personal responsibility to press into God so that you can know him for who he is. That's why your life takes you. One of the ways to achieve intimacy with the Holy Ghost, one of the ways to achieve establishment in the spirit is the way of the world. Somebody said, the way of the world. Ah, you said. The Bible said something. It's a war onto the man. The word wo means. Costs a cost. Be the man that trusteth, a man. That make it flesh his arm, whom's heart departed from the Lord. The moment your trust is a man, the Bible say, your heart have automatically departed from the Lord. You don't need to check the momentary man trust in another man? He said, what his heart is already departed from the Lord? How many of us are our hearts departed from the Lord? Now you know you can't deceive everybody. But it's difficult to this yourself, because if you check, you know where your trust is standing. Men are challenged through with God bless us. But men should not be the source of our confidence. Corst Be the man that trusteady, man that make it flesh his arm, whom's ha departed from the Lord. He said, he shall be like the heat in the desert. He will not see good when he comet. He said, it s a dwell in the patch places of the widerness is. Short land not inhabited. That is God talking. How do you put your confidence in God? How do you build your life upon God? Many don't know it, and many know it, but they don't engage it. God is not committed to what you know. God is committed to what you practice, because until you engage, spirits don't go. A lot of us know a lot of things, but it doesn't change anything in our lives. For example, you know God heals, but you are sick until you engage the loss of healing. God, we're not procure healing for you, even though it's already available. In the spirit. So what you know, we not change you. What you know, we're not transform you. What you know, we not change your situation. What you do with what you know is what art has a constant for good. The way of the world is the way of being planted in the spirit. You want to be planted in the spirit, you must know it and you must do it. And if you are not planted in the spirit, your life is already a waste. While you are at you are as good as dead, even while you live. It's that the man that live that for pleasure is dead, even why he lives, because as far as the economy of the divine is concerned, you are wist. So even while you are pretty, you say you are dead. You're not relevant. How can we live for ourselves? How can we plant our confidence on things? It's a waste of life. It's a waste of divine resources. Do you know what it means for you to say alife? The day you are attacked, you will know that there's no amount of money that can keep you alive. It is a divine investment to be alive. You can't afford to waste it. How can a man be planted in. The spirit. Proverbs four, verse twenty, My son, attend to my words, give thy ears to my sayings, Let them not part from thy eyes. Put them in the midst of thy heart. They are life to them that find them and help toward their flesh. I shan't I tend to my words, pay a tenshan Get thy ears to my saying, Let them not depart from thy eyes, Put. Them in the midst of the heart. You must make a practice of sitting under the word daily. You hear it every day on the enters you. You must look upon it, and you must do it. In Jeremy fifty sixteen, he said, I found thy word. I didn't eat them, and they became the joy and the retortion of my heart. You eat the world every day. In Matthew sixty level, he said, give us. This day, I wur telly bread Matthew Father's four. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed from the mouth of God. If you eat food every day, you must eat the word every day. Else why float in balloon this yourself? I say you anointed, you have no reference. You eat, you sit, and you dwell on the world. In first emotion of the four seventeen, to succeed until I come, give a ten dance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine. You read it every day. That's how you internalize it. You sit down, you gather the messages, you hear them. Give attendance to reading, to exhortation, and to doctrine. Do not neglect the prophecies that were spoken concerning you. What you put on you by the layout of my house. He said, In doing so, you be both safe thy self and to them that hear thee. You don't have the word of God in your spirit. You are floating balloon. You have no reference. The word spirituality is top ping sensation. I can come and say you're blessed. God is doing something ness way and everybody is shouting because of our books appetite for things. But when you show people how to pursue God to become, they cannot face their legal If I tell you God is giving you a can, that's week you would jump in your head. We go over the building. But can you count the shoes you wore last year? Can you remember the shoe you brought five years ago that you were dancing for? If you live your life for things, that is how your life would perish. It's a waste it with every way you sit on the wall. Why you begin to look at the world daily, then you begin to. See beyond the letters. He said, in the beginning was the world? The world was with God? Don't this one? The world was God? They said, what was with God? In the beginning? All things were made by him? Without him? Was not anything made that was way. In him was life. The life was the light of men. The life signs in the darkness, the darkness of comprehended did not invest nine, he said, he came on to his own, and they knew him. Not he came on to it. So even though he made the world by himself, they received him. Not, he said, But as many as received him to them the authority, power, the excusion to become the sons of God. Why you stay there there, you become as you look upon the world, that you become an offspring of the world. As they received him, he made them to become the offsprings of the world. Everything the world is, you become it. Why because you received it, And as you receive it, I begin to see it. Then suddenly you see beyond the letters, he said, And we beheld him the glory as of the only begotting of the Father. A man who doesn't behold the world continues they cannot see the glory. The glory is not for everybody. The glory is for the man that beholds every day. So when he's saying he gave them power to become the sons of God, he was actually saying he gave them power to become a manifestation of his glory, because our destinies onto glory. He said, man fell from glory where he's seen, for all have seen and fall in shot of the glory of God. So according to the blueprint of the design, you and I are supposed to be the manifestation of the glory. So when we see the world every day, we behold the glory. And in second Concils is said, as. We behold, we are transformed. As we behold, we are transformed. The reason you are struggling with that scene and you have made it the secret, is because you are not beholding. You are trying to use your will. Your will has been compromised. There are three religions in the soul. The deepest part is your will. The outermost part of your soul is your emotional That's why your first reaction is on your emotion. The deeper part of your soul is your mind. You analyze things based on logic, but your will is the deepest part. Why your will is compromised. Don't waste your time struggling with your will is corrupt, and that is why the economy of salvation was only prosecuted on the WII, not on the emotion. Their will is the most significant part. When you are falling into seeing, your will is already compromised. So you say a wish to use your will to struggle with the matter. Forget your will and go for the world in someone one night vest than nine eleven? How ten shall the young one keeps ways before they? By taking it onto the wall? He said that water am I put in my heart that we're not seeing against you? You put it in your heart? Why you put it in your heart? It becomes a. Refinery of life. God, your heart, you thought diligence out of it are the issues of life? How did your heart become the issues of life? My son, attend to my walls, give attendance to my saying. Let the multipart from the midst of the heart, eat it every money. It's after you do that that your heart becomes a ground to proceed the issues of life some of us, some of us say, our heart is it is of corruption. The only thing that can reconfigure that Didna chod protocol that is in our heart is not to be put in new substance. It is called the word of God. The holy ghost will not help you put it there. It's your duty to put it. After you have put the war there, then the Holy Goos begins to walk. The Holy Ghost is the administrator of the world of God. It is the duty of the man to put the world in his heart. It is the duty of the Holy Goes to administrate the world. In June of the sixteen, that's thirteen, he said, how be it when. The spirit of truties come? If we guide you into working, he will not speak of himself. He said, what he has heard, it will tell you. And he said, he will take off me. That's fourteen. He will take off me and reveal to you. It is the duty of the only Goest to take off the world and reveal to you. But if the Ramaterier is not in your heart, the Holy Goost is handicapped. That's why most of us have the Holy Spirit. But we are steep purpose in the hands of the devil, because the Holy Goost is there, but the raw material for him to work, it's not there. You put it every morning, let it cost of the six vers twelfth it said the fire on the otter must not be put out. They paced must put wood on it. Every money. Just let the fire on the atter, be parning. You know how the word of God in your heart? How can you be established by the spirit. There's no magic in Christianity. Christianity is based on reality. There's no magic. People saying they want to get married. I'm thirty five. I want to marry man, not God hed me. What does God say about marriage? You don't know one. You are waste. Man of God. I want to move in the annointing. What does the Bible say about the annointing? You know not one. You are waste. There's nothing the Holy Goods can do about it. That must be the place of the Word of God in your heart. There are persons were not mighty men just because they were all tained to be. They were mighty men because they knew the secrets and they traded with them. In Acceapter six, Versse four, he said. We we will keep ourselves to prayers and to the ministry of the world, to prayers, and to the ministry of the world to prayers. They knew, they did, they disconnect from prayer and the world. They are finished. Apples. Peter will become an nary man. We will give ourselves continually, continually, continually to prayers and to the ministry of the world. Most of us. They want to go for evangelism. We can't because the energy that we have is already subdued by the loss of this war. The only thing that we make, that thing we desire to come my life is when you put another source of energy. It's called the Word of God. The Word of God. You sit on it every morning. You are not studying it to quote and impress people. You are just looking at it. You are just looking at it. You are just looking at it. And suddenly, why you are on the bike going, why you're in the car going, and illumination comes. It pops up, it pops up, and you begin to enter into dangerous dimensions of the spirit. Dimensions of the spirit. Because you have given the Holy goes in raw material for administration, the Word of God. How much of it do you have in your spirit? You red, You ain't shansi your arms King, cry out, go Dush. You are mighty on your. True, your real. You ain't shansi your arms King, ryout ca Dush. You are mighty on your truth. You real, younsire, your arms king, you. The mountain. We not depart until the Word of God enters into your heart. I'm putes faith in you. Whatever is born of God over comet the world. First John chapter five is four. Whatever is born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that overcomes the world evil our faith. How does faith come? Faith combat by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Romans one seventeen. Whatever is born of God overcomes the war the mountain we not go, and not the faith is born. You cannot see the arm of God who has believed our report. Unto whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? One? Faith, Come, then you can see the arm of God. And when the arm of God is vid to you, then you are born into the realms of science and wonders. In Exodus chapter three, verse twenty, he said, I will straightforth my hand and strike Egypt with all of my signs and my wonders. When he moves his hand, the mountains are leveled. In Job twenty eight, verse nine, he said, he puts his hand upon the rock. He overturned the mountains by the roof. But it's only a function of the world. There are many who carry the world on or in their brain, and they are good. They never meditated, They never put it inside themselves consciously. They're gonna pick one today. I won't go and tell people it doesn't change anity on the fate proclamation comes from a heart, that the world have been incubated. It has no power. Life and death is in the power of the tone Proverbs eighteen twenty one very correct. But out of the hat proceeds the issues of life. So the empowerment of life is in the tongue, but the energy of life is in the heart. So until the word proceed from the regions of energy, it has no power on the tongue. You put it there every morning. Every morning is your responsibility. If you want to shift from where you are to where. You ought to be, then the world. It's because what you do business with every day, some of us do business with it. Once in the mond, what is in your heart, it tames your flesh. What is in your mouth tags your mountains. So you must put in your heart for your mouth to autter it. If it's not in your heart, talk your mountains will remain. What is in your heart tames the flesh. What is on the mouth turns the mountain. Poor said, casting down the imagination that is what is on your mouth. I'm bringing it captive it. All things the obidios of God, he said. But when your own obedience is complete, that is when you can avenge or that disobedience, say gold Corengians chapter Tember threet five. You have not in your heart. Stop talking. You're wasting your life. Put it. Put it where you carry the word of God. Read it to yourself for a long time. The one that proceeds from the heart is the Holy Goowth that inspires it, not you, I said. The Holy goost is the administrator of the world. You can put a thousand volume of the world in your heart by talking it to yourself. That is meditation. But when they say challenge, you. Wait for the remma. Wait for the remma. That's when the holy gooths begins to walk. You walk during the Chronos time. The Holy ghost walk during the Chiros time. The Chronos time is the long time. That is when you have to invest in your heart. The Chiros time is the window of opportunity. That's when the Holy ghost begins to walk. That's when the labor come from your heart. Moses tarried with him for forty years. The day he confronted Redsi. He turned to God. He said, no, go. Forward, go forward, stretch for that road, stretch for the role antify the reds. When Moses stretches row, it was the blast of God's knows train that patters the Holy goes walks during the cross time. If the world is not in your heart, you will begin to analyze with your mind in the face of circumstance. It will not suffice. What if the world is in your heart, the one that is designed to address that. Situation jumps out of your spirit. That is why Paul said in second corrections for that he said, according toc it is reaching I believe in as spoken, we having the same spirit of faith we want believe and therefore speak. So it is the spirit of faith that is walking the auchance. We are not talking it because we have calculated in our head what we should say. For now. No, there spirit of faith is walking the auchance. And why did they have that kind of confidence? Why we look like at the things which are saying, but the things that I'm seeing, the things that are seen their temporar But the things that I'm seeing the itana Where do you see the things that I am seeing? They are in the world of God, for He made all things by the world of His power. We have a generation that is impoverished of the world of God. Impoverished. You have been a Christian for ten years, but there's not one scripture that inspires your philosophy for life. Everything you know and do is what your four fathers did. So you see a young man of twenty eight twenty five, if he wants to marry, he said, don't give this women a chance. So if you give them a chance, they will rule over you. Where did you learn it? From? Hell? Learned it? That is? That is the addition that have lasted in his lineage for many years. Ah, don't give what you have sa say it of it? What would you be given like that? Are you a foolish man? That's what it was taught. Can't all you get? And get all you can? But the Bible said there it's one that withhold it more than it's necessary and intended onto penury. There is no scripture that designs the philosophy of your life. You are floating in limbo. You will not know until the day of trouble. You know why it say if you faint in the day of trouble, your strength is small. It's in the day of trouble that you will realize how empty you are. You may be the one they. Call the apostle. When you come to church. You don't smile, it don't move like this, so that everybody will say, cad car this man fast and fasting. The first thing is much or when people are praying, you are praying like this. When the day of trouble comes, we know who is trong. Is the world that incubits you against the forces of life. It incubits that which is born of the world. Overcome at the world. The world is against your destiny. The world is fighting your relevance. When you are born again. The devil knows it will be hard to take you from the hand of God. So what it we do to you he so that even though you are in the hand of God, you will never be relevant with God. You will never be relevant. It will fight you to the last. But the only way you can have victory is to begin to consciously do business with the world. My soul. Attend to my words. How do you attend to eat by reading it? Every morning? Give attention to my saying, How do you give attention to it? Gother the exhortations of God and hear them. I listen to messages every day while I'm traveling in the car. I'm here it even when I'm sleeping, it's playing. My friend told me, is that ible say? Why men slept? The enemy so tires among the weed, among the third weed, among the tires. He said, the enemy has done this. So if the enemy can sow wise men are sleeping, God also can sow white men are sleeping. So even when you are sleeping, the world is playing. Your spirit doesn't sleep. That's why you receive ministration. Even when you are sleeping. Your spirit man doesn't sleep. It was created in the image of God, and he that keep it is rare. Neither sleeps nor slumbers. Your spirit doesn't sleep. You invest in it continuously. Saturate yourself. Choke yourself. Somebody say, great men are not dressed in gold. When you scratch them, you discover they are made of gold. There are people here sitting with t shirt and we're in a suit. Some of them can pay me for ten years today. So if you based on what you are wearing, you have ed be choked with the word of God. Jerimia said, I did find that war, and I acted it, and it became the jaw and the rejoicing of my heart. You must begin to do business with the world. I don't have time to talk about prayer and obedience. If I begin to talk about prayer and obedience, most of us we begin to cry. Well, they allies, how far we are from God? Well, realies, how far we are from God. There's no time to talk about prayer and obedience. But let me tell you something. The same way witches, wizards, warlocks and sages shape territories, that is the same way they try to control the lives of men. Want to live above the influence of the spirit of this age, you must connect very deeply to the reality of the Spirit of God. Only the Spirit of God transcends time. He was present before etality began, and he's the end of etality. If you connect with him, then you go above the influence of the spirit of the age. That is why you must make a conscious effort to work with Jesus. And working with. Jesus is not closing your eyes and crying. Working with Jesus is doing business with his world. He's doing business with prayer, and he's doing business. With the Holy goes through obedience. Jesus was the word of God. What he was yet obedient, He came to John in John in this Baptiste Ma service, it says, so far it to be so, For now does it becomes of us to fulfill all righteousness March chapter four P's one. He said, and this drive him into the wilderness, not to enjoy, to be tempted of the devil. He knew that the Holy gows was leading him into temptation. But when he followed in obedience Invest. Fourteen, the Bible said, he returned in the power of the Spirit, that is by be fulfilled that which was spoken by Asia as the prophet. In the land of Zebulon, in the land of Naftali, by the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Calily of the Gentile. The people that are sad in darkness have seen a great light. They that sat in the shackles of death behold in great light shine forth. If you want the light of your destiny to begin to shine, then it's time to begin to do business with the Holy Spirit. Let's be outstanding as with prayer. Ah Bosh, you are mighty on your turn. You and. You a sansa. You as king. Cry out, you are mighty. Your you read you read. You ACESI wi jun. You ride your read, your read. You ACEENSI. You are by your dad. You're read you. You say, we. Don't have time this morning for any special immune situation. I want to pray for a few persons. You want to make the decision to start transacting with the world of God. You know you don't have the energy to do it. In fact, you have tried before, but it didn't work. You started one day, you read ten chapters and the next day you close the Bible for the next three weeks. I want to join faith with you this morning as you to God to help you. You are in that category. You know you have dumped the world. Of God, and you may even be a leader in the church. But this morning you want to go back to begin doing business with the world. Come forward, Let me pray with you in the next two minutes, and then we'll round up the service. I've always told you don't come in the flesh. It's not about number. It's about people who are willing to make a conscious decision. You see, yesterday while we were talking, the power of God was siting people but we have come to realize that people all their lives and they go back to their old ways. We have come to realize that people are slumped, but they go back. There's no transformation. So this morning I came to do a business with people who want to engage their will consciousny consciousness. You want to engage your will of consciousness. Engage your will consciousnes. Talk to the Lord, tell him your heart desires. It is God that makes it happen. No man can do these things. Accept God vibyy. No man accept God bebyy. No man accept God beavity. No man can do these things. Accept God vited it said, my son, eat that honey, for it is good to the taste, and the honey comb, for it is good to this. So he says, show that the love of wisdom be when you have found it, there shall be a reward, and the expectation of the righteous shall not be cultural. H And you asked this morning to act. To quicken you, to quick there's a quickening of the spirit that comes upon a man and he's changed into another man. So came to somewhere gradually, but somewhere said, as you go beyond the garrison of the Philistine. He said, the spirit of the Lord will come upon you, and you will be changed into another man. That is quickening. In Second Kings, chapter eighteen. Verse forty six says, and the hand of God came upon Elijah, and the outrun the charity of her even onto jesreel. It's a quickening. It's a quickening. It's a quickening in Jesus' name. I'll pray for you now as I pray for you, what we have. A lot of you. As the sign is that your heart will be broken. Your heart. You will suddenly begin to see your rebellion, and you begin to repent, and some of you begin to cry, not because it's emotional, but your heart to begin to break. You have seen how many times the Holy goes have summoned you. You begin to cry, You begin to cry. Stop the keyboard. Now, pressure's holy Spirit. Look upon your hearts and begin to quicken them. Begin to quicken them by your spirit. Begin to quicken them. It's not a falling down meeting. Now, it's a heart business. Begin to quicken them, Begin to quicken them. Begin to stead your hats, stead their hearts. Now stead their hearts, stead their hearts. Onto genuine repentance. And energize them, and aegize them, and energize them, and energize them, Lord, and energize them by your spirit. The Lord is beginning to minister to you. In Jesus' name. We pray, Father, I pray that you will give us the strength to let your words settle
