Once in a why God can use a man or system to intervene. But the journey of life is one that you move made for yourself. Jesus was speaking, and look twenty two, verse forty one. It says Simon, Simon certain desires to have you, to sift you as with it's it. But I have prayed for you that you're faith failed. Not, he said, went down at recover strengthen their brethren. That's the place of covering. That's the place of intervention. Of course, that when I leave you grieve yours work shall come to make disciples after themselves. But you see it, they came when Peter had to pray for himself. A they came when Peter had to learn to walk with God. Because the journey of life is intimacy based. It's not covering based. Covering. It's only an interventive system of advantage. But if it stops you from having the work with God, you were deceived. Prayer system of intimacy, that's where you access the secrets of God. Sah, can I tell you something. You are very poor if you have no secrets with God, no matter the name you have, no matter what you have in your account, Your wealth is the secret that you have with God. Abraham never judges wealth by Curtus. Isaac never judges wealth by Curtus. Jacob never judge is wealth by Curtus. All of those things were by products. You know what this man did. When they want to die, they transferred they areheritage with God to their children. The Bible said Abraham gave gifts to the sons of Keturah, but they said to Isaac, he gave the promise he had something with God. When Isaac was about to die, he said, get for me a savoy vanancy, and we eat, and my soul we bless you. And he laid hands on his son and transferred and inheritance. And when he was about to die, he said, God, around me, your songs of Jacob. I will tell you the things that will be follow you. It was there he made Judai king. He said, decept will not depart from Judah. On ti Shilo comes. What do you have? You are bragging on money that governments of nation put value on. You are bragging on titles that systems put value on. I am manager, I am chairman. What happens if that bank goes down tomorrow? If that company goes down tomorrow? Who are you? Everyone must work with God until he becomes the custodian. And when you work, work with the consciousness that you have something in God. That's the sign that you have paid the price of prayer, because God can commit something to you as a custodian. Finally, prayer gives. You room to participate in the world that is to come, he said. When Jesus was praying, he said, that appeared to him Moses and Elijah, and he was legislating over matters of the ages. That is to come, matters of the world that is to come. When John was carryed to heaven, he was interacting with matters of the ages to come. Prayer will make you, It will immortalize you because some of the things you catch on the authar and some of the transactions you carry even when you are long gone, those transactions with the main did you not read about Abel? The Bible said, even while he was dead, he said, this blood was crying from the ground. The guy had become an immortal through all the interactions, transactions on the authors of God. If all your life is about, it's time based. It makes your life is shocked. Even if you live for one hundred years, your life is short. When men begin to pray and transact on the Orta, they end up with legacies and transactions that I mutter in natural that even when they are long gone, those things will remain as a memorial in the House of God. So the way to elongate your existence is not just by supplements and exercise, is by having investment of the order. Because some of. Us, even when we leave this world heaven, were recognizabs and even need the war to come. You will have the part to play. Why would most this and enlighter come and we will be talking to Jesus about what we do in the generation that was many hundreds of years after they were gone. Because men of the Orta don't die, they remain relevant with God for eternity. I don't know what your. Pursuit are, but if you want to be relevant eternally, prayer must. Go to the foundation of your existence. This is the journey of the of the Christian man. This is the journey of the Christian woman growing into maturity. Every order in finds expression as you begin to grow. And tonight I just want to show you five three responsibilities. There are many by pick three three responsibilities that a Christian who is genuine and growing will pattern his life after. Because it's easy to call yourself a Christian, but it takes grace to live like one. Anybody can say he's a Christian, but to live like one, we take a lot of grace before we ask for the grace. Let's find out the life and the responsibility that God expects of one who calls himself a Christian. Number one is prayer. I always love to begin with prayer because you will hardly get it wrong if you start with prayer. Jesus began with prayer, and he ended on the cross with prayer. If you start with prayer, it'll be difficult for you to fail, it'll be difficult for you to miss it. So when a believer begins to mature, and if you find a believer who is genuine, one thing you will find in his life is prayer. This is why we no longer call it prayer point. We call it prayer life, because when your truly are a Christian, it will be difficult to do with our prayer. Trust me, find any man who doesn't have a prayer life. To a very largest stentes Christianity is fake because anything can pull him down. When a man is burning for God, one of the signs you will see in him is a sign of prayer. And when a man begins to fall in grace, the first sign you notice is that prayer will be withdrawn. Because one of the greatest indicators and parameters that shows that your life is being lived for God is that that life will be spent pray. This is one where you find genuine christian If you meet anybody, no matter what is telling you, if you can't see prayer, please be careful because this thing is not just about a religious ritual. Is the wouing of the spirit. If then the fire on the autum must not be put out, the Christ must put food on it every morning. Make sure help the sister there, make sure that the world is lighted with fire. That fire comes from the attar. When you're study, when your meditated, HDD some tones, add some tongues, so that the one who is the world we speak to your ears. That's what we bring distinction to your destiny. Go and ask every champion. They will tell you. Gord told me everybody has a proceeding war. That's what defines your destiny. If you have not caught it, your destiny will be without the direction, and you will be confused, even with the many phasis of scripture that you have in your head. So the second thing prayer doll is that it grants you access to the proceeding war. I can tell you every level of my life what God would me. I didn't come here by mistake. I came here by hearing. I love the song that you feel a sun. I came by prayer. I will them in prayer. Where are his word? I will go? I can't pray. Prayer? Why this word? Where I can't prayer prayer? Leave this world? Where please hear me? Thank God for in partesson. But you must go to the rev for yourself. If your life will count, you must travel. There are pleasans where learn here the whispers of God at that level. God talks to everyone. When you cook yourself from the attar. When you are coming, every demo nose, they know who carry fire. They know if there's one thing demos knows the one who carries fire. And when you show up, you don't need drama when you talk your world because like you old prayer, it's one of these the test responsibility of a genuine Christian. And I will show you why prayer is so important several reasons. Number one, when. You pray, you exercise your spirit so that all your potentials can find expression. Every believer is packed with a normous potentios. I have taught you here before all of us sitted here, we have the Holy Spirit, and so by extension, the nine gifts of the Spirit can manifest through us. Because when we talk about the gift of the Spirit, it's not that the only ghost is giving faith giving. This no is manifesting different the gift of the Spirit. It is centially called the charisma of the Holy Ghost. So the way you find a footballer one is doing hard man, another one is. All those things are charisma. So what of knowledge is a charisma of the spirit, What a wisdom is a charisma. Healing is a charisma. So the Holy Ghost flows through you depending on which one you give a low one to. The gift is not healing, it's not word of knowledge. The Holy Ghost is the gift. But the mind are trapped. In the Holy Ghost, and the actually more than nine. So everybody sitting here have the. Capacity to manifest all the gifts of the spirit. Number two, you have an anointing on your life that should make you do mighty works. In Acts ten thirty eight, and say how God anointed Jesus with the holy ghosts and power. In Acts one eighth he say you too, not many days from now, you shall be anointed with the Holy ghost and power. So is the same anointing on Jesus that's on your life. And then the faith of Jesus is the same faith you have. Second Puter Chapter one, verse one, he spoke to us, he said, we have light, precious faith. And in Galatians to twenty Paul said, I have the faith of the Son of God. So the faith you have now is the faith of Jesus. In Romanster the twelve vers three, he said, God tell to every one of us a measure of faith will require for a glorious destiny. And you, God did, is stop there. You have the life of Jesus, the very life, the power of Jesus. That's the life you have. E said, this is the record first John five. Level whoever have the song has life, And it said these things have I written on to you Vest. Thirteen, that you might know that you have eternal life. So you have the life of Jesus. You have the faith of Jesus, you have the anointing of Jesus, you have the spirit of Jesus. You are too low, dead with potentious The challenge is that you are not exercised. You hear that two three people sold lands. It will encourage your faith. But ask yourself how many people have lands that they have no suit. You're here that. Ten people, twenty people, thirty people are healed. Ask yourself how many six people came there. You're here that God opens door for ten people, for fifteen people. Ask yourself how many people are in obscurity. This is why, in addition to the prophecy, in addition to the lay of hands, go and find your order, Go and find your word, so that you don't fall into the probability of those who are blessed from those who are not blessed. The only way to insist that it must be you is that you dig your knee into the order and you stay there, because if you are there, God will appear. You will never deny himself. Most of you you come to. Men of God. My family. Nobody is married, nobody is property. We will pray and God answers many, but there are minimal that are not answerty. This is why you must find your order. Stay there until life comes. Prayer it's for legislation and it's for litigation. Number five. Prayer is for intimacy and for deep intercourse with the spirits of God, because there are secrets in God that are not for the public. I've taught to you before about the tabannaccurs of old. That is the outer court. We are the whole congregation Godda. There is the inner court where only the priest can go to. The outer court is illuminated by the song. That's why you can come to church. You have people with different philosophies and different ideologists. They are illuminated by the sun. Society can see inspire them. But when you go to the inner court, the rays of the sun are not permitted. It's only the Menorah. The lightest man there, the light of the government of God. And there is yet another place deeper than the inner Court. It's called the Holy of Holies. Only the high priest goes there, and the man who reaches the Holy of Holies knows the China by experience. For him, it's not something he reads in the book. It's a being that he encounters and everyone who wants to grow in God and become the joy of many generations most beauty, intimacy, prayer. He's like a young man who goes to a gym. He may go there lanky, give him ete months. All he needs to do is to carry ion. I says, carrying iron, he's putting pressure on the muscle. He's putting pressure on the muscle. After why the. Muscles to become stiff. A friend of mine who is a footballer, he came to my house and he told me, ah, why are you like like this? I said, what do you mean? He taught me, say, abbah abba, this one is bread. Now is this a man's skin? I said, what do you mean? He touch me. When I touched him, his body was like block. I now taught myself truly, my body was like foam. Ah, he said, taught my stomach. As I touched the stomach was like concrete. I said, what is this? He said, let me show you. He now sat in a posture, hung his leg and his hand. He said, do it. I did it for five seconds. By d. He said, you put pressure. Put pressure. So when they carry iron, when they are running on the trademill. They are putting pressure on the lungs, and they are putting pressure on the muscles. It's God, cut your vascular fitness and cut your muscular fitness. One perfoos your muscles, another one perfools your lungs, your blood vessels, so. That you become like a road. And if you do it for eight months, for one year, for two years, when you come out, they will no longer recognize you, the people that were trying to bully you before. All you need to do is to remove your shirt and just find yourself when they see what's happening that we know that you went somewhere. You are a change man. Meanwhile, all of that potential was there, but we take raisins and metals to put pressure there. So the Bible said, infestimoive for it, he said, bodily, exercise, profited little. He said for godliness. Profited more for it profits in this life and in the life that is to come. And one of the dimensions of Godliness that bults you up. In Jude verse twenty, it said, building up yourself, or upon your most solifaid. Praying in the holy goes. When a Christian begins to pray, it's. Like he has entered the gym that your your spiritual senses that at all keep jimming there. After three months the sense we begin, the antenna will come out. The antenna we come out. After six months, you will start picking frequencies. Is asking how does God speak to men? Nobody will tell you. They don't introduce men to it. And there way come somewhere. You rely on the altar when the evin lamp is put out, and you will hear a voice call your name, even if you don't know it's God, you will hear it. You can't deny it because something has happened to you. Your spiritual pretentious and propensities have been a welcome building up yourselves upon your most solifaid praying in the Holy goes. That's when you know that there's favor on your life. That's when you know. That you too can see visions. That's when you we know can I okay? Let me show you to dimensions of strength that this exercise will give you. Number one is discernment in Jeremata three vers three. Its a call upon me and we answer. But I don't only answer when I am done. Answer you, then I will take you to where things are shown to men. They say, I will show you great, a mighty things that you know not of. So when they must start praying after a why the strength that comes to his spirit is God discernment. Here is that seeing things in the spirit. That's when your life will no longer be by luck and chance. When you want to go right, you will know me that's the wrong direction. So you will lift your leg, you will bring it back down here and move. Precision will come to your life. People will say, how did you know? I don't know how I know, but my spirit knows. Aya spend time to pray. There are too many doman potentials. That's why I said I work. I work now that slippers they say on Christ will give you light. I work from the Islamba. Too many as swampering away their destinies. So you see generous, you see leaders, You see it burn that you change their generation helplessly begging because they are not a reason in Christ. You say, a right sigh, highlight is gone. Prayer is a way of gimming your spirit. What's the second benefits of prayer? Prayer helps you to access the proceeding world in much chapter four four s a man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeded from the mouth of God. Meanwhile, the proceeding word is what makes you invincible. Don't make the mistake of thinking if you have genesis to revelation in your head, you'll be wise. Go on, meet some theologists. You will see how terreblic confused. They are. Jesus made the far e seas say you set the scripture because you think in them you find eternal life. It said, but they speak of me. So you can read the whole scripture and not find Jesus until the proceeding world comes to you. That's what we make. That vest makes sense. That's what we make. That chapter makes sense. So when you are don't praying, reading, studying, meditating, you most at prayer. When you're now at prayer, what prayer does is that it gives you access to where the scriptures came from. That's why it's the computer one twenty. He said. Knowing is first. No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. It's a holy man of God. They spect as they were carried by the spirits of God. These men were moved they were moved. They came to a point where they John need to wear life twelves. So they understood the scripture because they accessed in the spirit. It was John that was speaking in Revelations, chapter one, verse nine and ten. He say, I, John, I'm your intribulation. And he said, I was on the eye cockpath most and I was in the spirit on the Lost Day. And he said, suddenly I heard a sound as of a trumpet. The guy had the Red Bible, but now he needed to interact with the living War. I was in the spirit on the Lost Day, and I had a sound as of a trumpet. He say, as I turn'd he now went to where the scriptures came from. I saw seven gold in lampstand, and he said, in between them, I saw one walking even Jesus. He read his scripture. He now met him in glory. He didn't do him anymore, because now what is reading is not Lucos. He has been brought to interact with the living War. And Jesus had to introduce himself again. I am Alpha, oh Mega, I am the one who was, who is and who is to come. I'm the one who was dead. But now I leave forever more, and Jesus began to explain to him, this is the mystery of the seven stars, this is the mystery of the seven candos. Is when the proceeding word begins to that's when you become wise. That's why you become powerful. This is why it's not enough to load yourself with logos chalk, prayer with the word, because as you pray, he doesn't only answer, he shows you great a mighty things that you know not of. So pray abuse the sun men. The second thing prayer does is that prayer charges your spirit. Prayer and then changes your spirit. There's such a thing called the staring of the holy gooes. Sometimes I'm invited to preach, and I know that I'm tired. I know that I need high wisdom to prayer. I read the Bibleok, I flip from this book, flip to that book, flip to the other book. Nothing is coming. I just locked myself and I charge my spirit. One hour, two hours, three hours, four hours. I stand up. I'm going to the meeting. I've not had anything, but I have charged. There is footage here now. Sometimes when you climb the autar, the moment you carry the microphone, you. Were now here we see not our signs. Ah a whisper, We come from yonder and as your glide on that even the odds lands will come to you. You who didn't know what to say, certainly you become like a lion. Your wings come to you, and you so are beyond the most knowledgeable person there. And then will ask you how did you know these things? I don't know it. I'm on this head. That's the strength, that's dring is what we. Carry you for many days. Imagine how many those of. You who understand English language. See figures of speech, see geomatic expression, see the things the guy was pulling. He caught him Lord, he caught him shepherd, he caught him, sore, restorer, he caught him, his protecto, He caught him his annoyed. Why are you getting those inspirations? Because dynam is like the ointment pod. For so you cannot but respond with geologists. You cannot but respond with a response of prayer, prayer, prayer, Oh my God, no wonder. The apostles said in as Chapter six, verse four, we cannot do any other thing. Prayer has damaged us. When we encountered this God, something came alive from our inside so even when we are in the market, our thoughts are on him. When we are on the job, our thoughts and on him. So they said, the only thing we can do is to give ourselves top prayer, top prayer, and to the ministry of the world. We are drunk with this God. In fact, a point came pod said to the church in Tarsalonica in first the Salonica chapter five or seven three. It said, pray with ou cizy. This did is not about prayer. Point, this is not about prayer. Attack. He is a liver that flows endlessly, endlessly, because sometimes you stop praying on your lips, your heart takes over. You let the prayer orter Mandata. You have prayed for ten hours. As you now close your mouth your song now your hat now begins mandy akra. You are hearing it went it becomes too loud. You have to add your voice again as your stalk your heart takes over. And then sometimes when you are don't talking. Then they had begins to chant. Ah. You know, you know the Hebrew guys, they don't read. The sounds they chanted because they know they are obrances of intimacy. They don't read it. Ema works up in. The money, And as he rises from his part, the Lord is my light and my salvation of food. Shal if here the Lord is the light of my life of food. Shall I be afraid? And he just keeps talking, And he just keeps talking. He wakes up another day. It's a him that well in the secret place of the most High, a pies on the shadow of the Almighty. And he shall say, of his God, it's my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom will I trust, eight thousands four by my side, ten thousands by my writer, And shall not come near me. With my eyes I shall see. And behold the recompass of the weekend. What are you saying? Where are you talking from? Ah? Y are. So? If a man has not touched him, he's looking for what to say. But when you're touching himself becomes an inspiration. He flows out of him. He flows, he flows. See this is why you need grace to be a genuine Christian. This is not something you do mechanically or try to create a pressure. As those so pray, they will tell you it's a life, it's a. Woe, it's a realm, it's a river. As you are praying the point will come, the prayer will overtake you, and you are praying for you discover you are now writing on the prayer because when you pray for a why the prayers that praying you? I wish you noticed this. And so the second thing prayer does is that it grants. You access to the proceeding ward. Please sit down there. Taught in prayer does for you is that. Prayer and gender's transformation and transfiguration. How can you imagine that the pharacies knowing every literally every verse of the world, yet they were full of flesh and mischiemity because they didn't interact with the one they were tardying about. When you begin to pray. Transformation and transfiguration begins. To take place. And Jesus reveal some of. These things to us so that we can pattern our lives, and for these of you who pray, lend these things so that you know what to focus on when you are praying. When you are praying, your goal is to build capacity, not to create impression. Eight thousand people, a million people, we clap hands for you. It doesn't mean you are mount to anything. Down't waste your existence. Prayer is to ngender capacity. Prayer is to bring you to the proceeding world. When you are praying, this is what you are looking for. We have distracted people who. Even though they want to pray, they do it Canady because they don't know what to look for in prayer. It's not a grunt for gymnastics. It's a place to encounter God. And number three, when you pray, transformation, transfiguration takes place. In matter of seventeen be'st to the Bible. Said, after eight days Jesus took Peter, James and John to the mountain, and it said, dear as he prayed. After six days, he said, as he prayed, he said, the fashion of his countenance was all that he said. This railmant began to glitter, and even the clothes Jesus war began to shine. So Jesus knew the organic technology of transformation, that when a man begins to pray, things begin to happen. And it was in the latter verse of that scripture that we now saw white transfiguration was taking place, because when you start praying, you begin to behold, and any realm and any being you behold, you are transformed into that realm or that being. Because the Bible said they. Appeared before him, Moses and Elijah. So he had to take his gloryform in order to commune at that level. He said, does not yet appear what we shall be like, he said, but when we shall see him, we shall be like him. This is why Second Corentians three. He said, we are with open physics. Why is our face open? Because we have torn from the law. We have accepted the Gospel. He said, we now behold. Beholding is the upple prayer, where you see your spirit so that you can see what God is saying, so that you can see where God is going. The Gospel has removed the veil, for prayer will help you to behold. It's like the mystery of a converging lens, those of you who are physics students. When you carry the lens and you are just in it, he hits a fucker point where the ray of the sun is converged to a light that is as sharp. As they need to. That light can set anything on fire. So your eyes have been unveiled by the Gospel. But if you don't pray, you will not behold. Because beholding is a prayer technology that assumes your frequency until you become one with God's frequency. And he said, when you hit that frequency, something happens. He said, you are transfigured. You are met first into the glory that you see Abraham come out of that country. You're thinking, ah, he was lucky. He was pressure. And then you go to Genesis twelfth, verse six. Abraham entered better. He raised an author. Genesis twelve seven, he raised an author. Genesis thirteen eighteen. He came to memory, he raised an orthor. You now know that one constant that you will find in every genuine passing across the generation was prayer. And when Jesus the Lord himself came, he prayed prayer. He lived prayer, and that was how he ended his work. If you not the cross my Lord and my God, he was connected my Lord and my God at every face prayer. The only girls came announced him, this is my beloved song. You think you're going swe a new suit? Did you know why? You know? At the Jordan, I was the one that woke about No. He went to the widerness forty days prayer and fasting. He returned to the Synagore. You'll think, ah, heyway, God, prayer, prayer, prayer, every off the way he will leave a crusade. You would think he's going to sleep prayer. Jesus will with drop. From a crusade and go straight to the room and pray the next morning. And that you are wanting, what is in this thing that you are doing. That's where the life of the believer is. Heat is on the order. God will hid it. There many talkers, but few people praying. That's why there's nothing to show. When I went to the redemption camp, I said, okay, I have just two sessions. If I finished, i'll see God Samantha leave. They told me he just landed from Israel yesterday and he won't come out the day he's preacher. You know where he went to. He went straight to the prayer. Room at the age of eighty two, and he prayed there on tee Tuesday. We went on Tuesday. He came and went straight to the prayer room. Even his wife knows that she has to wait. And he was there toy testday when he was supposed to preach. He came out and took a shawer and went to the oat. How you think, Why do you think they're invisible? The deception of our generation is for you to think that because you're in a church of power, your life will go forward. It's for you to think because you're in a prophetic church you. Will have direction. Listen, they are possible, They prophet, they pastor can do so much. But in the face of the challenges, preventing challenges. So much is so little. What happened fifty thousand people gather and you'll see two hundred people come out and they are shouted, God touch me, Thank God. That's a mighty move of God. But what is two hundred and a month fifty thousand? Do you know that probability? It is highly in consequential. This is why we thank God for what he has done. You must insist. I must journey with God. It was that journey that the sun is them backed upon, and he said, the Lord is my chepherd. I don't know about Israel, all of us and their classia, but for me, the Lord is my chepherd. So when you see it, godless generation in to a very largeesten this is because prayer has been removed. There are few who are beholding. We look first book and we enter pornography, enter all. Kinds of godless practices, and we are wandering. Why we're struggling with masturbation, that's what you are beholding. Why am I struggling with immorality? That's what you are beholding is the law of giggle. What you're go going is what you go go out. You know are not different from what you see and hear. And so what you need to do is to censor your atmosphere through prayer. And when you sensor it and the ram. Coverts you, you cannot but live like that. Rem It's not everybody that struggling. Everybody who is struggling struggling because he's seen and hearing the wrong thing. But for those who have made up their mind to live beholding every day new level of glory comes out of them because if you pray, you will see I caught that for you already to rematter at the reverse three say ask of me and we answer, and I will show you. You can't pray and not see. This is why some of us. Our prayer don't end with time, end with visions. When I got to pray, I must say something. Sometimes I'm praying for three hours. My mind is one thing around. I know prayer has not started. I will be there until my heart becomes silent, and the moment you hit the frequency of silence, God begins to speak, visions begins to open, and when you come out, you will be what you saw, You will be what you hear. This is how Christianity is practice, and this. Is why prayer is the responsibility of every spiritual man. Everyone who prays is not only transformed, he is also transfigured. Number four, Why is prayer in tootle. And why must we pray? Legislation and litigation is not possible accept by prayer. What is litigation is the act of probing, is the act of chudging, and is the act of enforcing the laws of God, the will of God, the mind of God. That's litigation. What is legislation is the act of enacting laws, is the act of writing laws, policies in the spirit. Everybody who prays can bring the law of God over a system. He can bring the law of God over territory. You can see somebody who is dying of sickness. You know that what God said is held. The only way you can move him from sickness to health is when you know the way of prayer, Because that's how you enforce the will of God. It's God legislation and litigation. So number one, you can judge that sickness. You can judge the demon responsible. And when you are don'e dealing with the demon, then you now insist on the will of God. This is why we pray. If you don't pray, the will of God will not happen. When Jesus was Chapter six, our Father, which are in heaven, give us this day our delibread our Father, which are in heaven. I'm gonna be the name that kingdom com that will be done on it as it is in heaven. So it is prayer that establishes the will of God which is in heaven on ed. So if you are not seeing the will of God in your life and your family, one of the majorities in why it is so is because you have not begun to enforce it in prayer. You didn't see Elijah rights up by it. The journey is great. Sometimes as you are going you're a mid pack fighters, they will shoot arrows into your heart. Sometimes as you are going you see these colleges there were said things that will weaken you. Sometimes as you are going you see men that shot thaws. That's why you need sufficient energy, and the place to build that energy is on the author. And this energy is not a TP is the tearing of the spirit. It's like what the military guy caused morale when he wants to go to war. He knows he has been trained in the. NDA, he knows he has some battes before. But every war has this peculiarity. And so before you go to war, thank God for your training. But you will need Murrah so that you are not this courage, so that you are not broken. And sometimes when they are already arrayed in the battlefield, then they will bring an auditory. The job of the only toys to stand them, stand them. When the order to finish talking, you will see this army that is obviously out number. They will leave the assault and. Said to the death. They are no longer thinking they are charged. But when you are charged, even your enemy will know that it's finished. Because what wins a battle, it's not the sword just that are more numerous, is the ones that I'm more moraut, It's. The ones that are more charged. When you carry sufficient charge, no power on earth can bring you down. This is what intoxicates us. And when we collide with problems, what what I see as their end, we'll see as a platform for essential prayer. Is what empower as a Christian, he said. Both in the exercise profits, little imagine all the benefits of bodily exercise compared to what you we get when you're charging the spirit, He says, little, do you know the benefits of physical exercise. When you do exercise, your blood streams open so that blood can flow away, so you will happily have issues with blood pressure. You will hardly have issues with hipotential. When you do enough exercise and blood flows to your brain. He opens your brain up to think, well, some hormones are activated when you are doing exercise. You'll find out that you are more excited, and as you are more excited, you are easily inspired. All of those things are part of bodily exercise. As if that is not enough, When you do exercise as flows normal, he breaks every tendency of tumors, so you hardly have issues like cancer and every kind of tumor. It class your body. As you are doing exercise, your muscles are develop you. Are more physically fit. All the problem of back pen neck pain you're not feeling when you are eighty years old, you were very strong at eighty. But it said all these things put together is nettle. And you are here. You are crying. I'm defeated. No, you are not defeated. You are not exercising. Go to the gym of the spirit. Carry ten hours of prayer for two months, carry five hours. For six months, carry. Seventeen hours for ten months, and see what happens to you. The things you call it challenge you. We wake up, they will disappear on their own. I'm telling you most of the battles I fought, I didn't have to fight. When I cook myself, if I come out, That's when I knew that demos have intelligence. They know who to fight because they don't have enough resources to waste. When they know. That you have charged, they flee. And as you show up the moment they appear the anchor only ancher wait with you. We respond, They will know that kai where came long? Did you not see what I put to Jesus? After faster than prayed for three days? The te who came to bring him down when he tried, he tried. They thought that Jesus said, however from me, there was fire in the spirit. The man fled if you don't take off, you're in trouble. Meanwhile, you for you for ten years. One demon is hanging doing nonsense. You are not charged. You are not charge. Go and charge, go and charge, charge, charge. You will see what your life will become. The phone you are having he can untouched, he can do internet service, he can make costs. But when the battery is dead, everything goes off. The moment the phone becomes charged, the wireless can function, the touch can function, they call can function. So all of the potential of the. Phone was tied to his charging. This is why most of us sitting here should be changing our world. But we as this leaves because we don't know the place of the other. Listen, when you leave this meeting tonight, tell yourself. I've had enough people lay hands on me. I've had another ninety oil on my life. Let me go to the utter aware men are cooked. Even Jesus himself had to find the author. And if you go there, trust me, you will not recruit. I quoted for you already from some ninety one. Say what the Bible says. I will show you how God becomes a personal god, not a congregational god. He said, he that don't let the secret place of the most time shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. He said, he because this is a journey for every individual. It's not we, it's not them. He that Dwilett in the secret place, and then says, too, it is they shall say. They say, I will say of the Lord. The Lord is the lord of everybody, but everybody may not have the authority. To say it. I will say of the Lord, he is my he say, he's our refuge. That's why ten thousand people can be in the church. One person has never seen an affliction, but you see a hundred others. Because he's not we. We say, of our refuge. I we say, here's my refuge. And then they went further and my fortress. This is the one that blew my mind. My God in him, well, I trust. When you begin to journey with God, he's no longer the God of Abraham. He's no longer the God of Isaac. He's no longer the God of Jacob. It's no longer the god of a person. Michael Ku. He becomes my God. So you are no longer trusting in the God of Abraham. You are no longer just trusting in the God of Isaac. You can now say, my God, in him who I trust, and because he has become your God, you can define the different dimensions of his faithfulness. You can know that this business cannot collapse, not just because I got that the versse of spiritual, because I have seen my God show so much faithfulness, so I know this business cannot go down. This is the journey of intimacy. This one is not for a congregation. It's for every individual. If we get to that point where it can become my God, then you must be ready to travel in the place of prayer. I'm telling you you look at some people who said they are lucky. Who is lucky? No God is locky. You think the devil knows anything like Locke who is talking lock The devil wants every one of us dead, he said. The devil combat number for to kill, to steal, and to destroy. That's the plan of the devil, he said. The devil is prowling like a rousing lion, seeking who in with divar There isn't Some of us are standing. This because he tried. They couldn't. We're not the way of prayer. When we see something that is not consistent with the will of God. We know what to do about it. Sometimes you lock your door for three days. You are insisting that this poverty must break. You are insisting that this sickness must end. You are insisting that this embaco on this family must talk. Is when you win on the authar that you win in the natural. So for us, prayer is not drama. Prayer is not caricature. Prayer is a way of changing things. And I can tell you how many things have changed in my family. All my other sisters were in. The attatis thirty two thirty four beautiful and a godueb women. Nobody was looking at them. What's the meaning of this? I now knew that, oh, a prince have put the cob web up there. See, if you don't. Know the prayers litigation, that's why you. Can be acting drama. For some of us, when we are praying, we are fighting. So we are sensitive of our weapons because we need to bring something down. A mountain must go down. And I wait, war there, wait, war there, and wisdom kept coming ONTI one day finally God's talk, and when I administer it, I now gave them a law. Because after you litigate your legislative. When you charge the spirit, you now write your own law. I told them before this year is over. All of you are married, and today they are married with children. Imagine if we were waiting that if God wants it to happen, we would that still be waiting and hoping. But that are those who say enough is enough. They are those who said no to the devil. But they were to say no. It's not by prothe it's by praying. You we entire different places. You're a prayer to a ram, your laugh, your prayer to another rem you'll cry your. Prayer to another them you are oney, You're praid to another thing? Who are fighting? Why you finish? You now? You just started. You're knelt down. You're first the war somewhere. Dear, sit down, let's add some speed. I need to keep my soul in order so that we can go for time is a body, every genuine Christian. It's a man of prayer. Go write it down. And if you are not praying, your Christianity is a fake. Trust me, you have not just faced a. Circumstance that we reveal it, but they dare the circumstance. That we revee How fake you are comes you before. I'm telling you. These are insurance systems. Of a godly life. The way the life of God walks and you is to ventilate through prayer. And you cannot but pray. Check the scripture from Genesis to Revelation. Everybody that's stood for God was a man of prayer. And say, from the days of Enos, men began to call upon the name of the Lord. Genesis fought when disease and it continued like that. Noah found grace with God, and you thought he was lucky. And you not come to Genesis A twenty to twenty two, He said, no, abuilt and order. Did you see what happened in Acts of their Persons? Chapter three, when Peter and John came to the temple, the Bible said, the important man sat at the gate, and when he saw that, he begged them to give him arms. And Peter made a statement, he said, look or no, there is a place where is us, but there is a place where it must become I. And you know what he said, silver and gold have I know? He didn't say, have we know silver and gold? Have I know? He said, But such as I have, there is something God That's given me silver and gold. Have I know? He didn't say, have we know? John knows what he has, but me, there is something I have. And he said the name of Jesus, rise up and walk, and he lived. The man of strength entered it because there was something he had. There was something, did you not read? In asked chapter five or fifteen? All of them came out from prayer. But the Bible said the shadow of Peter. He didn't say the shadow of the apostles. There were at least twelve apostles, And he didn't say only Peter came out. He said, when the time of prayer was over, everybody came out from prayer. He said, but they laid the sick and the importance on the street. Not that the shadow of Bato Loomi, Not that. The shadow of Timothy, Not that the shadows of But what's their name now, Matthew, James, John, No, he said the shadow of Peter. And he said, everyone that the shadow of Peter fell on was made whole. Well, they're not twelve apostles. But there is a God such as I have. There is a general thing, God give all of us. But there is a such as I have. If your life we count you too must have such as I have. It was letter that we now saw that John too hard such as I have. Because why Peter was working miracles. John was as cavetting mysteries. He say, I was in the spirit on the last day, and I saw so John was a heier. Peter was a worker of miracles. Meanwhile Paul was a custodium of revelation. All of them are passus, but everyone had something. Prayer it's a way of spiritual exercise that abuse, dessernments and strength. Prayer is a way of assessing the proceeding word of God. Prayer is the way of engendering transformation and transfiguration. Prayer is a two of legislation and litigation. Prayer is a way of building intimacy with God. And prayer is system of securing immortality. As far as divine administration is concerned, we are you standing, how toy is your author? And what is the wit of your consecration? That's what determine the very essence of your existence. You know the. Unfortunate thing about many Christians, they never pray. Bow your heads, Let's pray. Choose the way of the a require Why I choose the world,
