Is the faith training and teaching you things that can change your life forever. Train yourself about God's presence until your proposities are woken. Then train yourself in faith. You know the way God's presence works is if you train yourself to a level, you will notice that the speed which which your transition will be very first. So number one, you can't tell if what somebody is doing spirit to our flesh. Somebody is singing, you just know this is not good, and the song will be very slow and emotional. But you are discerning from another level. And if you'll come and what somebody is doing the spiritu u, immediately things will be Only you can see a vision. You are broken, so broken that you are weeping. You know this is beyond the emotion. The annointing begins to move you just know because. You are active. Then train faith. How do you train faith? You train faith through number one revelation. See any area of your life mm hmm that you know is a significance, Go look for what the Bibles say about it, and master tight until you think that way. Any area of your life that you know is consequential and teaching you how to train your faith. You know we all have faith. The problem of the New Testament Christian is not faith. It's understanding. Lack of understanding. Romans to investory. The Bible said, God tell to every one of us they measure day. That means the faith you require for a successful life was giving to you and every one, Holy sack Christ the measure of faith. And Jesus said, if you have faith as tiny as the Master said, you can move mountains. So the problem you have is not faith. We all have the measure faith, and to even stay your heart much more. The measure is the measure of faith that Christ hard. Paul was speaking in Gnations to twenty is the faith of the Son of God. And Peter was speaking in second Peter one ver one. He said, we all have light pressures faith. So the faith Peter heart is the faith, poor heart, and it's the faith of the son of God. And that's the faith you and I have. And Paul was speaking the Second Conventions for thirteen. He said, according as it is written, they believe and as spoken we have been the same spirit of faith. So your problem is not faith. The problem is that your faith is not trained and it's not exercised. But the first way to train your faith is to give your faith understanding. And the way you give your faith understanding is to recognition. So you go to the Bible and find out what do you do when you are sick? And you look at what the world of God says, and you begin to turn it to your faith. So you can begin by saying, by his stribes, you are healed. Your faith is learning it. This is what must happen to everybody. But but you say participation, only say war faire, because when you want to stay, you will now discover that many things we want you to be an alien of that civilization. Distractions begin to come. If your body at first we read there to that atmosphere, because you are not used to that environment. If you enter the water, now you're not a fish. After a few seconds you start struggling to come out. You know why. Your system is not used to that environment. But if you begin to dive, begin to dive, after a while, you'll discover that your capacity to stay will begin to increase. They said, those who are Navy seals, they can stay under the water for about a minute loss because they have trained for a long time, so they are now used to the environment. If you begin to stay, you will discover that they will bending on in you we break. But that is one thing that you must teach yourself if you will ever become what the Bible says you were Poor said in First Corentance nineteenty seven, you say I beat my body. I bring it on that subjection because when I go to waship, my body wants to watch movie. When I go to pray, my body wants to sleep. When I want to first, my body wants to eat. But I understand that for me to become what God said, I must condition this body to stay in that presence, because I must be taught by the presence, because the presence itself has a language, and that language although in or debut, but this in pact cannot be denied. When you stay in God's presence, a point comes like radiation. The presence of God begins to all even your molecular structure. And the point will come when you can't discern God's voice. You can passive God's presence and you will see that certain dimensions in you that were domant will begin to be activated. Those are the things the Bible cause your wings in the spirit, the things that make you ascend from your realm into cause realm. So you begin to. Function not by the energy of the flesh, but by the abilities of the spirit. That's why I said that wait upon the law. They mount up with wings like the egos. When they run, they are no longer willing. When they walk, they no longer friend. Mean why he told us already that even the utue the young man out handed. For so you are functioning by an energy that is now divine. But for you to get to that level, you must have stayed for a while. And so the ability, the first training that the Christian was built, is the ability to compel himself to stay in God's atmosphere. The easiest way to start is worship. I'm giving you a formula. Now you know what worship is you taking advantage of the strength that others have goad. You know, when somebody worships, he's worshiping from it rain. When you come into that space of that sound, what has happened is that that person has deployed his own strength to you as an advantage. It's like somebody giving you a ladder to climb the building, or somebody is up and he's trying to pull you up. It's not your label. He's the one bringing you to that l That's what worship does. The guy fasted, the guy prayed, and he caught his song in this build and he. Sang that song, and that song became a ladder. So you now some of you. You even finished quarreling with your husband. And then as we were going to the bathrooms to shower, you're not start hearing I need the everywhere and you start crying. You start saying, God, I love you. Your space was you you were hijacked. You are your world is currently contentional. But they brought another bost into your space and I jerked you. You didn't know when you transitioned from animosity and anger into brokenness and whip it. That's because you are tapping from somebody else is energy. That's the easiest way to begin the journey of training yourself. So spend time worship. Worship. If you open my phone now, you are going to see different playlists. There are those that are called hymns. They are high praise. That is their song. By call floating them. The others I call transitions. It depends on the I select the music that have those dimensions and I align them, so I moved from one to the other. I move from one. So there are times when I'm just on my earpiece of my eyes are clues. I'm float with people who have opened the gang in the. Spirit, and they are carrying me. They are carrying me, they are carrying me. And the point comes I begin to hear God, and I can do that for three hours before I start praying. That's the easiest way to transition. You are using somebody as is energy. You are riding on somebody is annointing. You are entering the door that's somebody else opened. But you can't remain there because you may not be very strong. The reason is because when you come to a place where you don't have those access points. You can journey. So when you start that and the rent begins to draw you, there are certain partitions you will receive. On the strength of that, importation moves to the next level. Begin to print toms. While you print toms, you think you have prayed, you're not check it's ten minutes. It shows how rosty you are. It's like a fat man going to Rome when it's breathy, breathy, and you come you may think this guy, have. Gone ten thousand, No, he ran to twenty meters. Their flyfe is much. He's breezy. Have you been running on a matra tone? The matter tom for him is twenty meters if he runs one hundred meters with it. But you see, if he continues, he will do one hundred meters for two weeks. After a while, when he runs hundred meters, it will be tired again. You know why cholesterol has been burned off. The volume of oxygen supply have increased. It's at four hundred. You will not pant like that after a while. It's after two thousand meters it will plant like that. A point will come. If he's consistent, you will see him going for a cross country and then you wanting when did you become like this? They said the elders to us, inconsistency lies the power. So when you do worship where you are aided, and that tongues do you too, pray your way into that way. Pray your way there. As for tongueing, and tongueing and tonguing where you are tired, add some music, receive support, and then continue your tongue in. A point will come. You'll discover your bandwidth in that ram will increase, so you're harrying capacity. We grow. Now your focus is not time. Your focus is transition. But time is something you can't do without because you are a creature of time joining into eternity. So every time you come back there will be a reference. But your idea is where you are going to, not where you are coming from. That's why you won't bench back with time. Make sure transitions are happening. After a while, you discover that they annoyed, will start flow. Train yourself. Train yourself a point become when even if you don't want to, you can't change it. It has become your statuschool. That's why I say train up a child in the way that you should go is when it's grown up that they can make a lot of all that decisions by himself. He say he can't do it anymore, You have no choice but to follow the part that you should it. That's why you see your speedy to be troubling to get justification, and then you educate it further. The reason you were. Successible to sickness in the first place is because you were guilty of seeing, and so seeing exposed you to sickness, and you could not fight seeing, because seeing you could not sickness because seeing the natured do so. The elements of God on your inside that you wore against sickness are no longer there because seeing. The natured you. But now that Christ took away the judgment of your scene, a new nature was installed in you. That nature has the capacity to resist sickness when your faith understands it, any time sickness is coming, even before you know your faith with isol you now discover that the rate at which you foresick was that reducing you who used to forsake every week. You discover that it to become two weeks after White, three weeks after White, two months, and your wondering what's going on? Your faith is already risen a defense even without your knowing, because every revelation that went in and energized your faith. And as you are doing it longer and longer and longer, you will see that you are becoming more and more like Him. And then add first, because first thing will help you sustain the atosphere even when you go out from the place of prayer, because the proprisities you have in the flesh, they. Are strong when you are in order, If you eat where, you want to have fresh air. If you eat well, you want to visit a friend. Sometimes the reason we're first, and that's why the old dettament cause it humbly yourself first. Those many ideas you have. You want to work football, you want to go and visit different when you are hungry, they won't be. More So, what you are doing is that you are emitting the capacity of flesh so that you can stay in the spirit. You are limiting the capacity. Have you seen hungry people running around? No, when people are hungry, they are sober. They want to think. So what first thing we do is that the atmosphere you are built in order not to dissipate it. First thing we help you to be big, big big. You'll be organized you by circumspect in your dinner. So put first in your weekly manor or menu. Begin with one one day first in a week. That make it too, That make so that periodically you are exercised onto goldliness. And then meditate or scriptures carry versus of scripture. Be talking it to yourself, be talking it to yourself. The Hindus know this is better. You need to enter. Some monks people chant for sixteen hours because they know the power of these things. When you talk settin things to yourself a point call, those things ll tie your your frequency, your sole this frequency. They can all tire you. This is what folding beings know. But in light we have not understood those things. When you are talking the word of God to yourself, you will enter the frequency of. The rema world. That's why I say this book of the law just one. Do not depart out of the mouth, then meditate upon it day and night. Say say that you observe to do what is written their you say you will make your way prosperous and have good sources. So master those things. These fourteings, they are the trainings of the presence, he said, And somewhere hewn a. Gg to pieces in the present of God. Eh, God is a type of the world system. It's a type of the flesh. It was in the present that somewhere taught him apart. That is how you disinmit flesh, and that is how you become a spiritu a man. I'm telling you the dimension most of you carry. If they wake up, you'll be afraid of yourself. Most of the things we try to force. They are not supposed to be forced. They are supposed to be goutious. They flow out of us. They flow healings you flow out of you. Wisdom sho flow out of you, fairforce you flow out of you. But they are locked. Those champers are now opened up because we have not mastered how to give the spirit man's supremacy. The first way and the first training of a spirit a man is the ability to tame the flesh and insist that the civilization of the. Spirit will not be alien to you. So you must train yourself to stay long enough in God's antemosphere until you gain acquaintance. You know, for those of you who watch football, the moment it is Saturday as you wake up, even without knowing the match, there is a feeling your body they are not to me. The physiology of your body begins to respond to Saturday. So even if you don't know the calendar, when it is Saturday, there is a way or disposition. Is because you are acquaintain too long with football that He has your body gus a response to a. Particular day because of the day of football. Those who watch all kinds of drama online, some of these movie dramas from six o'clock. They watch one episode to seven, they watch another episode to eight, they watch another episode to the moment evening is coming. Their whole body is agitated. Anything they need to do, they quickly stop it. I have his sister and the other sister that was addicted. The moment to come home. When it's evening, you start hearing hindu're speaking India because she's walking one series and you Hindu. A point came with certain knowing or language, even with who are not watching. So when you hear the mass day, you know they are greeting somebody where it was we knew it. It's not like we went to read Indian language, but the activity was so consistent that you could begin to in thirteens. When you hear peer, you know they're talking love because the peer was much every time it's a quintans. She brought the atmosphere to our realm until the team began to pattern us. So even if you're going upstairs sometimes, didn't you hear yourself saying that mastake? The thing has bombarded you to a long so it became normal. A point of who came in the house. When people greet they bull like this. They didn't know when their hands got that together. The teen had promulated. It's called the Queenes. The Bible said they had the weight upon the Lord. Something happens to them, He said, the mount top with wings. Where does the win come from? You never you didn't know when the metamorphosis took place. You didn't know you had win. Those potentious were the You know, before God told you that you were like him, he installed something in you. He was. It's not just speaking by his sovereignty. He's also speaking by the activity of the Holy ghosts. And what the Holy ghost did, like you mentioned, was that certainties were installed on your inside. Eternal life was installed, the nature of God was installed. But it is your participation in this realm that we energize it. So when God is talking, he's talking. Because of what he has installed. So he aspects you, through the Holy Ghost to participate ontil those things are animated. If you walk past the market, if God's presence is in any location, you can't discern it. People are not singing, they're not playing keyboard. But if you pass, you will know that something happened here. If an angel is turning in the place. If you come there. You will know that an entity from another dimension is here. You know those days have being trod. The past will be pretty I say, ah. An angel longeer, when they did come here? Oh God, Turke it is you did danger come here so quick? And supernatural things who begin to happen and don't show could dip that what this man said is true. And I will just live in that confusion. You can't discern it because you are using emotion. You're using suspicial Those things can't walk in that room. You have all the senses that are dormant. If you clear yourself long enough, you wake up. When I came into the UK, let me even give you what happened today. I went, I came into the room. My friend came and he said, ah, this is the right temperature, room temperature. I said, what you mean room temperature? I'm wearing three garments. You say this is the right temperature. I don't look that. I say, you give me a badly A year ago, what's going on? Some months ago? You are not where we're in. You know what happened is even the brain, the brain is not sending these signess that this guy is in the new territory, so the physiological processes have been altered. Now for him, seven degree is normal, but not. For me because I've not been here long enough. But if I stay here for five months, you'll be shocked. You'll see me with polo and I'll be how you doing, you, you will happen. I stayed. As I stayed, things began to happen. That's what happens to you in goods presence. When you stay long enough, you we know that, you too can see in jelly beans. You will know that when the Holy goes speak, you too can tell. You can discern when the power of God is flowing and you can't channel it. It's called the training of the spirit, Arman. This is what makes us become mighty, representing God anywhere we find ourselves. Begin to train yourself with the presence of God. But there's a way of the spirit. This is how we become in this killnot some of you as somebody. As somebody stood up and walk, you must turn. That's how you trail yourself so you can't evan talk even in God's presence. That's the same way you need to train yourself with spiritual things. When you train yourself. You can't help it. It will flow out of you. If you don't trail yourself to stay in God's realm, you will discover that you'll be frustrated even when you read the Bible, because you'll be seeing what the I would say is that you cannot confirm in your own lifestyle. You cannot confirm in your own experience. This is where the first warfare of victory and transition begins, from the capacity to beat yourself to stay. See when you get there and distraction comes, stay there until the distraction dies down. If you feel like sleeping, sleep and wake up. The Bible say why men's left? The enemy sued, So if the devil walks, why men's left, God will walk even much more. There's nothing wrong in sleeping in ghost presence. When you are done sleeping, stand up, continue because you are trying to cultivate something. If you don't, If you don't know this, you will run in and run out and your life will remain the same. They will impact you. It won't change your story. You will quote scriptures. It won't change anything because you have not been caught chared to function in the civilization that God brings to you. And so the first type of training that everybody wants developed is the training of. Stings, the way God taught to me. Because when I started strang stretch was a bit difficult. So God taught me to break it into hours. And so we stay for thirty minutes and do what I want to do for two hours, come back, stay thirty minutes. In the day, I discovered I've been able to stay for three hours, and as I mustered after a while, God increased the duration. I will stay for one hour in three hours, one hour in three hours, and God kept beauty a point. Now came I can lock my door and stay there for three days, and I don't even know it's three days. As I came to London. Now this is the first time I'm coming out of. The room since yesterday. I don't need to go anywhere. There's time being there in ghost presence. I have trained myself so even if the noise is going on outside, I'm more refused to what is happening inside than what is happening outside. And we go out when I have business. I don't go to wander around. There's nothing out there that satisfies more than what is inside here. I'm telling you the visible world was crystalized from the invisible world. If you're thinking there's beauty in the world, such God's presence, he say, what eyes have not seen? What E is I've not hed? They do end in that way. And as we begin to stay after a while, your senses will be activated God to begin to show you things. God to begin to wish part things to your spirit, and even dimensions, saying you begin to wake up. And you now discover that the Bible is not allow the first training that you must give to yourself. Listen. This is different from Bible school. This is your own journey with God. You must beat yourself master the presence. It could be prayer, it could be meditation, It could be worshiped, it could be fasting. I don't want to red whichever God begins with you. Just make sure you are able to subdue your flesh. Let the abandion of your flesh die. The Bible said, the flesh wars against the spirit. And they said the spirit against the flesh. And he said they two are one against the order. But you must make sure that your spirit win the battle. And the place you win the battle is not when cristis comes in the presence. That's where the battle begins from. I'm telling you when you get home now, try to pray for thirty minutes. You will see the ancient battle that exists between spirit and flesh. We wake up immediately. They are runner for that word friends in the presence. It doesn't happen anywhere else. But for you to become what God says you are, you. Must find that back to their Make sure this speedit has supremacy. This is the first training that every spiritual man was on the go, the ability to win the battle over the flesh in the presence of God. And that's the only way, the only place flesh can be modified. This is one area that is deficient in our Christianity. In Proverbs twenty three vers. Twenty nine, the Bible said to whom belonged redness of eyes. That's a negative scripture, but it gives you an idea of what interaction does to a man. He says that carry long in the wine. That means your eyes have the potential of becoming red. But that potential can be realized if you stay in the wine long enough. As you continue to ingest wine, a point will come when the impact will begin to reflect even in your natural body, and your eyes will become red. So carry long in a place has the putentia of making you to be acquainted, and that acquaintance will affect. Even your morphology. That's what the scripture tells us. And that's why he quoted from Isaia, chapter forty, from verse twenty eight. The Bible said, have you not heard? Has it not been said to you that they have a last thing? God fainted not nieda? Is he really? So? He's talking to you about the prowess the capacities of God. He said. He gives their power to the faint, onto them that has no mind, increase the strength. So what God has he doesn't want to. Keep for himself alone. His libra enough to want him to share, he said. But for those who we. Partake of that with God has a day that wait upon the law. See it's like the way Ai walks. When this ai is are designed, they have very dangerous capacities, but they train them, they give them instruction, they practicing. The way the Ai trains is that if you. Design an ai, let's say a basketball in Ai, and you want it to net the basket, you put it in different locations and give it the basketball. It will throw it. Anytime it nets, it will record that program. Anytime in missus, it will record it. That pathway that missed, it will never repeat it again. That's what That's what increases the precision of an AI. The one that it misses, that part. Will be blocked forever. So anytime that AI is in this location, if we only use the path to way that netted, it will never use the paths that missed. So if the AI is standing there, ten out of ten it will net. So the way you train the AI is that you make sure every part of the field the AI must throw the ball on the net. So anywhere that AI is now standing, only the peraps that net will be active. All the paths that they will never be active. If you don't take that AI around the whole field, it will still be missing until it goes everywhere, and it's a quinted with everywhere, so it will delete the paths that missed and save the path. That called, and so the AI will become contrect percent effective. That's how they train AI machines. The same thing applies to your faith. If you don't teach your faith, what the Bible said, your faith will not be active. So the first thing you need to do is to show, is to educate. It is that by his stribes we were healed. So our predominant confidence is not drugs. Our predominant confidence is the strife of Jesus. In the natural, we train ourselves to become. You are what you are today by reason of many trainings that you have gone through. You are what you are today by reason of many exercises that you have subjected yourself to. But when it comes to the world of God, we either don't train ourselves or we don't even know how to train ourselves. And so when I come next week, I will take time to go deep into this matter. But to give you an idea of what I mean, I just want to show you three areas of training that you must begin to subject yourself to. You will become everything the Bible says you are, because the Bible tells us clearly that God cannot lie, and so everything he says it is as he said it, And it's better you discover it here than discover it in eternity because everything you don't discover here when you cross to the other side, you will discover it. It's a most God will prove himself one way or the other. You need to educate your face. Most of us have domin faces that are not educated. And so in the middle of crisis we want to believe, but we don't know how. And then finally you must master to take action. If you don't take action, you will never become what the Bible says you are. In James after two, verse nineteen, he said that believers that there's only one God. He said, out do as well, he said, the devils who believes and trembles he said, But oh yeah, vain man, he say, don't you know that faith without works is dead. That means you may have faith, but he may be liking to a dead faith if he has no action. In verse twenty six, he say, as they speed it without the body, as the body without the spirity is dead. He says, so also faith without words is dead. So it's telling you that action is in most for you. You say you are favored, but you have not attempted anything to see the power of favor, and you have not put demand on favor. How will that favor speak? You say you are anointed, you have not prayed for any sy percy. How will you know if that anointing is there? You say you are the light of the world, you have not gone out to win souls. How will you know you are the light? And so there are dimension sitting in you, but they are not deployed. If you want to train yourself, you must train yourself with action. I started praying for the sick, no one was healed. It took a long time before I started seeing the sik get healed. And the more I prayed, the more healing increased. The more I prayed, the more healing increased. If you want to become what God says you are, you must train yourself to dwell in his presence until you become used to His presence and until your propensities are activated. If you want to become what God says you are, you must educate your faith through definite revelations. And if you want to become what God says you are, you must master the art of taking actions corresponding actions to faith. This is how we become in this knot. Otherwise you will come to churds, hear messages, go back, and never become a point become when crisis hit you. You become angry with pastors and say, these people, like the Psychtos when there was crisis, we didn't see any of the results they spoke about. In fact, those things are not true, and you'll be justified in your anger to yourself because all you know is all you think there is. So the realization of what God says is a function of the animation of the things that are on your inside. This is why you are called the witness. You are to confirm and to prove that what God said is true. But you see, you have a journey as a witness tom back upon, and that journey begins with participation in gothlel And so the first thing about participation is to stay until you beIN acquaintance. When you stay longer enough evel humans. When you stay longer enough with people, you can perceive the hour from them. You can perceive their body. You know aroma, the moment they're around. You know if you pick any ship that they were, you will know who wore it. You can tell when they speak, You can discern their voice from among a million people. The reason is because we've been around and most times it's not us. The ability to discide when they speak. There is an emotional cliquer that comes out of you when you are around people who are kind to you. Anytime you remember their name, you smile. You don't even know where the smile comes from. That smile is an efforgence. It's a response of who they are as you have passived them. Said, he has given on to us all things that pertains to life and to Godliness, through the knowledge of Him that called us to glory and Petro. And you are wondering, I've known Jesus, I've been in charge for a while. How come I don't have all things that pertend to life? How come I still struggle with issues that border on godliness? Is this scripture real? And then you go to the net verse, and he said he has given us exceeding, great and precious promises. He said that by them we might become partakers of His divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lost And then you're asking yourself, have I actually escaped the corruption. That is in the world? Because when you see seeing all over the place, it looks like everybody's struggling with seeing. You see sickness, you see the failure of humanity, and then you're asking yourself, have I really escaped the corruption that is in the world. Thrue lost Father. We asked for a shift, that is a shift, indeed For every hand lifted up here tonight, Lord, I ask that in the next seven days, give them a definite visitation
