A man. Amen, my friend Rick is here today. I think the Rick is a sign that God wants me to be in Minnesota. Haly lujah. So we are going to pray a few prayer points just to be sure that as we are doing the teaching, everyone that is coming to partic of the moment is also deliberate about exercising his or her spirit Hardlyluia as a harleeluis. So. Jesus says that the light of the body is the eye, and if your eye happens to be single, then your body shall be full of light. If we make Christ our unique goal, if we make his kingdom our unique goal, then we begin to understand the context. Of every aspect of our being. Challenge of humankind is the challenge of pursuit. In what direction should we go? At what speed should we go? And Jesus gives us that's the only time in the Bible, if I'm not mistaken, in the Greek that the word proton was used. Seeky first the Kingdom of God, and the word first there in Greek is proton. You need to be a chemist to understand that if we make him our unique goal, then there is every possibility that through his light, every aspect. Of our being will be illuminated. So if we take Abraham's life as a case study, after working with God for a long time, the Bible reveals that there was no aspect of his life that did not reveal the blessings of God. Can we pray tonight that in twenty twenty five, Lord, help me to make you my unique goal. Now I know you're not hearing what I'm saying, but I'm trying very hard. Unique goal. We started a charge sometime in Nigeria, and we started with a handful of people ready to intercede. It's an Apostolic center, so when you get there's like a cantonment, a training ground, a military center. It was not for comfort, it was not for to heal people's emotions. It was for soldiers. Yes, So we began to build and at some point some people felt that they were supposed to be given some form of attention which did not happen in our miss and they got offended and they left. We still continued running the cantonment. Eight years later, one of them crawled back from I don't know where he crawled back from, but Satan has had had spent over time on his case. He felt that we're myopic because we make Christ our unique goal, and he wanted to look for what was not lost. Eight years later he had not found it. The issue of the proton what takes the first place is critical in your pursuit, Alle Lawyer. Critical in pursuit. At some point Satan comes to you and makes you think that there was something you left out, There was something you forgot go in pursuit of it. What is trying to do is to ensure that your eyes be not single and the moment your eyes are not focused completely on Jesus, you put it on circumstances you are lost in the wilderness. Some never recover themselves at all. They're just in that visuous cycle of manipulation. If your eye is single set and knows that you will, you will understand your place in the Kingdom of God. You will know the purpose of your finances. You will understand the kind of tag team that you and your wife are supposed to be in kingdom service in order to bring to God the highest measure of profit possible on the account of the investment of His grace upon your life. So Satan comes, It comes, and it moves your attention away from the law, and many times he can bring legitimate things up, very legitimate things. But have learned over time as an intercessor. When you are pursuing God and something goes wrong, pursue him more. Yes, pursue him more, and allow him to be the one that will fix what is going wrong. So these guys left. Six years later, one of them came back, and they all come back in the same way, half date looking for someone to raise the date, because Satan knows that the moment you who lose your focus and Christ is supposed to be a golden focus, the Kingdom of God is supposed to be a golden focus. When you lose that focus, life no longer has meaning. You have entered into the space of relative division. Once upon a time, you know, we began this tend our prayer campaign just so that people can exercise their spirit and then begin to find God on a more experiential level. And all that minutes of the Gospel passed by saw or spraying, and he said, he say, stop this thing, go and look for money. We did not heed this advice. What's he doing? The same person came back many years later. He was old and he's very old. Now he say we were foolish. You're the one that was wise. If your ah be seeing, your body shall be full of light. Please help me tell your neighbor that if you are not sure, it means you did not spend enough time. There is a currency that God gives everyone that is a seeker of His face. Are you there, Ah, there's a currency. One of those currencies of conviction is what we call assurance. If you have not arrived at the corridor of assurance, it means that your prayer, your prayer. Diet was not balanced. It wasn't balanced. We are not. We're not. We're not trying to guess. You know, try an error? Should we do? With? No? No. If you spend enough time, there will be light. And the Bible says that light is that which makes manifest. So if something is concealed, it's not because the thing is not there. You don't have the substance that makes it manifest. That's why you can't see it. So if you're not sure, you've not stayed long enough. Are either. I told you my story how that every young minister of my age wanted in Africa, wanted to have a ministerial cv that captured the nations. They've gone to preach. So it's like what you boast do it. So I was in Switzerland, I was in Kenya. I was then I asked me, where have you been? I said, I've not been anywhere. So they felt I was said, the truth of the matter is I stayed long enough to know that it was no time. Anyone that has not received light will be running the rat race of his generation. His life will be an expression of the confusion that is found in his age. So when we say going to the gym and begin to exercise your spirit, one of the powers that your spirit is going to crystallize is a knowledge of your timing. You know, Jesus said you shall receive power after that the Holy Gos has come upon you. Right. So that's one of the products that comes out of that consistent engagement of mechanical power inside. As you keep allowing those elter motion to continue, mechanical energy is being converted to kinetic energy, converted to power. The power with which you drive your life comes out of applying yourself in that electric motion. So in the twenty four hours of a day, I stopped counting how many hours are speaking tongues many years ago? Because in world matter I speaking in tongues attack it. You might look advantage of one of the mad men of the city. He doesn't match. Oh I'm speaking in tongues looking for turn my ways. Oh my god, your selter. Emotion must continue. And as I'm exercising, exercising, exercising, suddenly light just come up my frenchif model in Oklahoma. I wasn't thinking about him, and then suddenly, Pam, something just comes up. Something's wrong with him, something's wrong with it. It just came up. I was not thinking about it, but it was light. I was in Walmart, and then the light just came about him. Then I begin to pray, specifically, seching my spirit through the Holygost is set it? What is this problem? What's happening to my friend? What's going on there? I lose all sense of time. The part of Walmart I find myself is worthy selling Pots meanwhile made the log give you or understand meanwh I had not. My My adventure in Walmart had nothing to do with pots. I strayed in the natural abod. I was in the right location in the spirit. What go all was doing at that time, was that he wanted He wanted support to shield Mado in our clack room. It doesn't make sense to the motal mind. But anytime you are doing business with God, the evidence that you are still on track is light. Please reach again to your neighbor. If you're not sure, you didn't stay longer. You didn't stay longer. Certain is not that strong. It's just that believers of our day have lost the act of perseverance. It's one of the skills in prayer. According to what Jesus said in the Book of Look Chatter eighteen, even if God is not willing to do it, if you persevere, he will say, can't we do it later? I know it's my will. We can do this thing later. You if you persevere, say all right, all right, it's okay, okay. So I've seen people prophesy to me before this thing. This is not time. I went to God. I said no, no, he happened. I don't believe you're prophets. Can we cry today? You are crying for capacity so that you have stay in power. Many of you quit too quickly. You quit too quickly. I've seen a lot of people that have concluded you are still alive and you have concluded your life. Someone came into your life and then left your bruise, and then you think your life ended. Why is God still making you breathe? As long as you don't go into the sanctuary, you will never understand. Truth will be kept from you. Darkness will become your philosophy, and then you'll be pierced with all kinds of sorrows in your soul. Because everywhere you turn that there is no light, you feel more hopeless. I do business with light. My business is with the God of light, the one in whom there is no variableness, the one with whom there is no shadow of turning. My journey is to not be in the shadows, and we walk in the light of day. Oh my God, Oh my god, Oh my god, oh my God. Can you exercise yourself? Receive capacity, receive strength, receive what it takes to do business with God. God has promised that in our lifetime will see a reviver, a move of his spirit. We will see the effect of His handiwork in our day. Oh courier, simobadies asimo babombre kubsbo corri I see my delisgo probenasi copendo mei fablos kito pre couria bambasute caba man dali worri I mean corso bonde who told you that you have come to the end of your journey? God is about to begin. When man comes to the end of his capacity, then God's I've seen so that he can take the glory. Doctors have failed, the expossa failed, missles have failed. What God is about to step in. He will not let you down. Who kumi badashata board mamriskofablamo cosita aria tabako samata agra simo bus rats tamadaya commosia. He a singing hosanna in the hag? Who's who sana in the highest? Sing who sarada? Who sadugging him? Who san nagging. In her? I see him? O' targa hit the high. Shut dug in the. Oh sharnag and the high I sing who sang the who in my name? Callous honey girl. That man hid in the name of Jesus, come about. Amabas oh sir. Amar singer who sat sea blarsa called the bumpy, the nine cycle, the mountaya seven At the last, Sir. Come in sa Wanda ma siaaa. Sularly, he will give you assurance. Assurance becomes one of the currencies that men of fate trade with. The moment the sense of assurance is received, it means you have translated into the place in the spirit called rest. Well, we're still going on in the study. These are the elementary aspects of the prophetic story. This we'll move gradually. I don't want us to be in a hurry. Those of us that are minisoder. We'll be doing this probably still for the rest of the year on the prophetic So we're just building. These are basics. Then we begin to build into other matters. They are deep aspects of this reality. But if we don't lay the foundations properly, to be difficult for you to identify a false prophetic personality. If you don't have a proper foundation on this subject, you are welcome to church once again. Please make welcome your neighbor as you take your see. Welcome your neighbor as you take you see. All right, So yesterday we saw that there was need for us to visit the gym. And the first thing you do when you get to the is that you begin to exercise yourself in the spirit by praying in the Holy Ghost. That's a very critical matter. The Bible say, is beloved, building yourself in your most holy faith. Train in the Holy Ghost, Haly lou Yah. Pray in the Holy Ghost. So when you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are building yourself. You are building a very sensitive faith. Capacity is being built when you pray in the Holy Ghost. And you will notice that haven't prayed in the Holy Ghost. You are actually on a certain faith level and you are capable of several things and certain things that you are not likely to be capable of if you have not prayed in the Holy Ghost. It is because as you exercise your spirit praying in the Holy Ghost, you you are moving from one level of faith to another level of faith. Halleluj. Yeah, So I need to give you a few points here. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are praying God's perfect will. Just a few reasons why you need to pray the Holy Ghost. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you're praying God's perfect will. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are edifying yourself. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are strengthening your spirit. When you pray in the Holy ghosts, you are stimulating your faith. When you praying the Holy Ghost, you are building your spirit man. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are magnifying the move of God within your human spirit. When you pray in the Holy Ghosts, you are unruth You are on root and encounter with divine revelation. Allelujah. That supposed to be in the lecture yesterday, but we used up all the time, so I just wanted to add that to your notes today. Let me do it again. When you pray in the Holy Ghosts, you are praying God's perfect will. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are edifying yourself. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, you are strengthening your spirit man. You are strengthening your spirit man. When you're praying the Holy Ghost, you are stimulating your faith, simulating your faith. Your spiritual migration is to the degrees of faith. You see when you're moving from the flesh into that space where you can handle spiritual things. Your movement is in degrees of faith. Are just in case we want to calibrate your spiritual movement. Last minute, you went the flesh fighting on the streets, and you want to migrate. So we now recovered you from the fight, brought you back, and then we we calmed you down and it was all right, let's pray. You'll be migrating from where you are in the flesh. In calibrations of faith. Do you understand that? Calibrations of faith. So your movement is in calibrations of faith. So when you begin to pray in the Holy Spirit, you stimulate your faith. You stimulate your faith. Amen. As we were praying and singing and worshiping, my faith was stimulated, stimulated enough for someone to receive a miracle. We may not pray for the sick, but I'm just telling you where I am now, where I am now, someone can receive a miracle. Where I am now, I'm just telling you're just an announcement. It may not be important, but I'm just telling you that I migrated enough to reach the place where someone can get a miracle. And just in case, we have five minutes towards the end of the service, we can actually practice that, we can insist on that and someone will go home with a miracle. It's in calibrations of faith. Okay, So when you pray in the Holy Ghost, you build up your spirit man. Your spirit man is being built up with all the capacities that come with your spirit man. Every aspect of your spirit man receives a building up. The fellowship chamber in your spirit man receives a building up. The intuition chamber within your spirit man receives a building up, The conscience chamber within your spirit man receives a building up. So every aspect of your spirit man receives building up. Anytime you decide to exercise yourself praying in the Holy Ghost. When you pray in the Holy Ghost, the activity of God within your human spirit is magnified, is magnified. There is a possibility for you to become more conscious of what God is doing down your spirit when you pray in the Holy Ghost. And I said finally that when you ra the Holy Ghost, you are on the route to divine revelation. Okay, so that's the first class in the gym. The second class in the gym is what I titled raising spiritual weights. You know, when you get to the gym, there are some items in the gym called the dumb bears. The dumb bells are graduated according to weight You have the five kilogram dumb bells, you have the ten kilogram dumb bells, you have what the fifteen kilogram dumb bears? I don't know. Then I also noticed there was a fifty kilogram dumb bell there, and I noticed it because I've never used it, and I'm not sure anybody in this auditorium has ever used fifty kilogram. So don't look at me. You've never used it. You've been seeing it as a piece of furniture, all right. So lifting spiritual weight, that's what I called it. There was no way I could put it. I had to live bor in prayers to you know, to put it that way, Lifting spiritual way, Lifting spiritual way. Matthew, Chapter seventeen. Matthew Chapter seventeen. Matthew, Chapter seventeen, beginning from this number fourteen, Matthew seventeen. Beginning from this number fourteen. And when the Way come to the multitude, they came to him and setting man kneeling down to him and saying, Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is lunatic and so vexed, and oft times he falled into the fire and oft into the water. And I brought him to your disciples, and they could not cure him. Then Jesus answered and said, oh, fitless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I sptire? You bring him hither took me? And Jesus rebuilt the devil, and it departed out of him, and the child was cured. From that very hour. And the disciples then came to the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, why could we not cast him out? And Jesus said, onto them, because of your own belief. That's number one. For veriably I say unto you that if you have faith as a grain of a must seed Anisha, say onto this mountain remove, thence to yonder place, and it shall remove, and nothing shall be impossible onto you. How bit this kind go? It knock out bought by what of first in the eyes of his disciples, because when Jesus are you? Are you here? Meanwhile, I don't like the way the man, the man that had a six son. I don't like how he presented this case to do Jesus, because in his presentation it was as if he demeaned the abilities. He would have just said, my son is sick, please help me, and that would have been proper communication, but he involved the inability of the disciples. But I don't want to go into all of those details today because many of you may not even understand why Jesus cried out as a oh, fitless and perfast generation. What has that got to do with this context. I will not go there today. I'll just stay on the track of my emphasis. But you will notice that the disciples had made some attempts at lifting some spiritual weight, and they came to the discovery of the fact that it was fifty kg. And you don't just wake up just because you have zeo and then you go to the fifty kg chamber. It will tell you that you may not have trained your biceps sufficiently well to be able to handle this type of weight. So the first thing that you do in the gym is that you begin to exercise yourself. Make sure that you are fit, make sure that you are okay. And part of the evidences of fitness is that you begin to stumble upon light. And what I mean by light. Those of you in the class know what light is, But just in case you we're not in the class. When we talk about light, we're talking about when God moves to give you spiritual knowledge. Spiritual knowledge is not that knowledge that you can learn in the library. You can get in a classroom, you can receive in a lecture. No, you can get from a book. Spiritual knowledge comes only from the Holy Ghost. When the Holy Spirit decides to hand out a spiritual emphasis to you. Are you there and if your spirit is not, If you do not stare up your spirit, you are not enrooted stumbling upon spiritual knowledge. So you say, when you come into the gym, you begin to exercise yourself. One of the signs of spiritual health is that you receive spiritual knowledge. God punctuates your spiritual exercise again and again to provide spiritual knowledge to you. This afternoon, we were just a few of us just got out together just to pray. And the moment we begin a prayer, the Lord will punctuate and tell us what to pray about, and tell us the reason why we should pray this prayer. And then we begin to engage the prayer. Then it non brings another prayer point. He now tells us what to pray about. He now tells us why we shouldray about that that spiritual knowledge. The Bible said that we know not what we should pray. We do not know the prayer point to pray. We don't even know how to prosecute the prayer point if we had known it, and even if you were told that in two hours prayer will prosecute the prayer point that you have known, the bably says, saying, you don't even have the entrance with wish to do that kind of business, because it's the Spirit that now provides the otrans in gronings that motiles cannot utter. If you know how infamed you are, you would depend on the Holy gooos. Many of you. Because you were able to study engineering in University of Minnesota and you graduated with the distinction. It gives you an idea of the fact that you're capable of something. Until you're confronted with a situation that is orchestrated from the remote spirit with a drip hanging here and your legs are connected to a common computer. They you now realize that the substance the content of your brain has not affected the delicate balance of the affliction that you carry. Many Lord give your understanding. I've come to the understanding of how limited I am. That's why when I pray. I pray with my life. This is my life. Without this, I'm not much. Oh are you there? So exercise yourself, and God knows you a need of spiritual knowledge of ones. And again you will punctuate your prayer. And if you are not prayer or you're sleeping, you will send an angel to invade your subconscious and drop a picture, so that when you wake up you already have an insight of how to engage, what to engage, and you'll be ten steps ahead of the devil. Every time, there's. One guy I don't want to mention because it's online. I know it's online. I don't want to mention his country and his name because he will know I'm using him. I'm preaching about him, but he might find out. I don't know, but the Lord will help us. January, you don't serve me a prayer point. I'm in serious trouble. But that's how the whole of last year is. Every month he was in serious trouble. And in this January we're about to start. First he sent me another lot. I said, I say, you know what, you don't need me, you need Jesus. So exercise yourself. He's going to begin to punctuate you, and it will give you wisdom beyond what is operational in your mind. And he said, with that wisdom, you stay ahead of the death, and for a long time you e won't look for the devil and you're not finding not because it's not trying. It's just that he arrives where you are, not Alex Louis. So when you now get used to exercising your spirit, then the next thing you need to think of doing is lifting weights. So this guy now came to the disciples. He is that you guys have been with Jesus for a long time, just moving around with him. I know you have picked one or two things. I don't want to disturb him because the crowd is pushing on him. Can you deal with the issue of my son, he's lunatic? Do you know the meaning of lunatic? Not? Today? Part of this prophetic school will require that I teach you about demons, how they all prayed and all of that. It's a long class. I don't know. It will take us weeks to establish. Are you here? So it will take us weeks to establish that body of truth, and then you will now discover that in the eyes of Jesus. Sixty percent of human troubles associated with demonic actor. And I'm going to show you how that Jesus spoke more about demons than he spoke about engels in the Bible. The reason why it's giving us that bias in information, that bias in emphasis, is because he wants us to understand that if we're going to live human life purposefully, we must know how to exercise authority over demonic activity. If not, you might be caught up in satanic quarantines and you will use up your energy shadow boxing fighting the wrong thing if you are not educated about how our enemy works. So part of the insights that you need to get about the un scen dimensions and how to handle the on scen things also has to do with handling devils. So when we come into that class, I will now explain what lunatic means, because when demonic activity begins to find expression, satain takes advantage of the elements. It takes advantage of things that are natural. It takes advantage of things that you know, things that you understand from the natural framework of things. For instance, are you there. Lunatic means smitten by the moon Satan can take advantage of the potential of the moon to bring an adverse effect on the life of a man. I'll go depar into that when we come for the aspect of that lecture. And I need to tell you this, and the authority with which I speak of these things, the authority of the missionary that has that is well traveled, not as a tourist, but in apostolic capacity, expelling. Demons in people and in cities. So I have a setain area of competence, which is the gift of discernmental spirit. I can't discern a territory if that gift is operational. Not every time, but when that gift is operational. And since I came to America, I can tell you that I've spotted more devils. I spotted more devils in Houston, spotted more devils in New York, in New York than than than have ever spotted the only equivalent I have. Okay, let me not mention because I'm already saying that this is a multi national, multicultural, multiracial assembly. I don't want to fall into Okay, Okay, if if we if you're offended, we can set to at the end of it, there is a place in Cameroon. I won't finish it because Cameron and Bread then I've already So it's hey, it's called by. Esus Christ. I saw the same intensity closed out devils in New York. So just in case you say, oh, we are Americas, there's no demons. Here, I as show you. I as show you as a missionary that has operated more in the suburban areas, operated more in the countryside than in the city centers. I assure you as an intercessor and a watchman. What you have in New York. May the Lord give you Understanday, So. Whether you like it or not, according to Jesus, you will live some spiritual with at some point. And this guy brought his son to his disciples. There's a wait here. And those of you that have developed spiritual competence are the ones that are experts in this matter. Can you help me lift this demon out of this man? If you notice the question that the disciples asked Jesus, because the Bible says that they drew him a part he was teaching on the cruise, and give us one minute, and then the issue of their lack of competence must not be public know only, so they moved him, moved him my part and said, why could we not? Customer? Do you know the meaning of that? It means everything Jesus did was everything they did. So there was nothing that Jesus. It was not in the way he said it. It was not. It was exactly the same words Jesus use, but the effect was different. There was so trouble that they could not allow Jesus finished his summon the certain moment. And took him apart. Why could we not cast him? Then Jesus began to give us insight into some additional things that are needed in order for us to be able to live. Spiritual weights. And I assure you there are spiritual weights in your family that needs lifting. Oh, I assure you there are spiritual weights and territories that need lifting. And as we speak right now, and people have gone to Jesus to tell Jesus that they came to us to lift the demonic stronghold on that Minnesota and we could not, So they are beckoning on him to come step into the matter. They've reported you. What I'm saying is that your report has gone to Jesus already. The report of your incapacity of your inability that you've been following in for twenty five years. Yet when you were confronted weight live fifty your biceps were not developed enough to handle fifty k post. In the name of Jesus, please forgive me a missionary, a man, I'm a missionary. My my gospel doesn't sound like the American gospel is designed to build people, not to make them look well, not to make them feel right. I remember this one song they brought that we should saying, Ah, God a feeling. Three things cannot be now, calm down. The way things will become all right is that we're challenge the devils and cast them out. Don't ever think that once one energetic song can solve any problem. Learn how to lift. Please add me to your level. Learn how to lift, with lift, with lift the weights. That's how things get better, all lawyer, So Jesus now reveals a little more insight. First of all, he identified a challenge. The first challenge that you identify was the issue of unbelief that you're going to live to it. You must be spiritually fit, and you must be a preating from the realm of assurance. You know I told you that when you are building up yourself training in the Holy Spirit, you are actually advancing in calibrations of what of faith, in calibrations of in calibrations of faith. So when you see that in the Bible, Jesus will just be walking on the street and then they will bring someone to him that is sick, and then instantly Jesus will say, and the person will behaved. You know how those things happen. Jesus, before the morning broke, he had already calibrated his faith to the highest level through speaking in tom and he will maintain that fellowship with his Father throughout the day. That is the description of a spiritual man. So anything that comes his way, he can meet with it at that point. Even me, I'm not on that level yet. I'm still developing, because there are sometimes before congosos, I said, can we can you give me three days because I'm not three days that you go to the gym and not great of great or great of great. Then you come in the height of your capacity, I said, waiting for you. But we are looking for a situation where as you're moving on the streets and the things come ya your answering them. Jesus was even eating. Was eating by this eating, and then they brought a case that I have done that a few times. It's powerful. Well, so we finished the meeting. So they brought strawberry. I was eating. So they brought someone that was afflicted, and the annointing was still there. I said, loose him. He fell off and the demon left. I was. But I saw you. It's a very good thing to do. It's a powerful thing to do, but you need to be feet to do. So Jesus made a few statements I like to draw your attention to as we continue. First of all, there's an issue of own belief, and that issue of own belief is pointing to the fact that your spirit has not been experiencing consistent exercise in. The way of speaking in tongues. Speaking in tongues happens to be the only spiritual gift the Holy Spirit gave us that we can operate at will. And so in the book of First Current chan To fourteen you find a possible power making statements like I will pray with in my spirit, I will pray in my understanding. Also, it means that it's not up to God, it is up to you. So your current spiritualustate is what you desired. What you hungd for is where you are today. Because if you have hung God for something better than what you have, it was always up to you and not up to God. And that's why God gave you the refinery that you cannot break at will. You can engage your spirit at will. And the level of spiritual agility spiritual capacity that you have is a function of how much exercise you were willing to invest. Are you there? So he pointed first of all to unbelief, which is a point out to the fact that there was not a consistent, a consistent application of the spirit in the way of praying in the Holy Goos. For verily, I say unto you, if we have faith as a grain of a mustard seeds, so Jesus is studying us the capacity that we have to move spiritual things to move things. This is the principle behind lifting weights. Is the principle. Meanwhile, in terms of lifting weights, because I'm going to give you an assignment those days when we train people, disciple people, part of what we tell them is that the only way we'll know your capacity is when you start lifting with So go into the congregation ask these people what their needs are. Take one need, go into your closet. See what your prayer can do. We ask that person every week. Is that problem still there? Is that problem still there? If it still there, it means you have not prayed enough. Go back and learn how to lift the weights of people. Very soon you will become the world champion holder on weightlifting. We don't have believers that can't live to it anymore. In an average church, sixty percent of the members are depressed because we are no longer doing the works of Jesus. So set and needs to give out all the assignments. So we're doing. We are depressed. How many ways have you lived there? We say, move into the congregation. Find terrible situations that woman cannot live. Take our own case. They've injected her with all kinds of stuff. She's tired of the injections. She wants to be free, and she has a right to be free because she's a daughter of Abraham. Take her weight, take it, take it and learn. So we started from picking little from people. From there, we began to grow in weightlifting until the season came when if we enter into nations, the leaders of those nations will come with the weight of the nation. Those are meetings where you don't go with your phone. It doesn't matter how when I sneak in to the nation, they're know they come with wits. Some of those men will not come to church. It's in my hotel room that I lead some of them to Christ. Say, you know, in lifting this with the first thing you need to do is we need to knee before Jesus. They won't come to church. But I've met them all over the year world. But we started by lifting weights from people in church, exercising that was spirit to exact this influence to take away mountains, and Jesus gave us the principle of the workability, of this principle of this possibility. So I need to ask you a question because most believers so they just live for themselves. Your finances are in good shape, your family is in good shape, your children are growing well. You know, your wife is good and fine every day have faces on Facebook. So that's the that's the idea of that's the concept, that's the believer's idea of what Christianity is about. How many ways have you lived? The man came to the disciples and said, I brought I brought this weight. The reason why I didn't try lifting is because it's not We're not I'm not trained for this. It's not it's not. It's not my call. And I've felt the guys that I've been moving around with you for three years have developed their biceps. And no, but I was wrong. I was wrong. And Jesus cried out because he knew he had he didn't have much time. He knew, no, he knew, he knew. The Cross was calling him. He said, oh, faithless, oh faithless, generous. I'm praying that Jesus would not make that remark anymore because you and I are here. So the average believer doesn't train himself to be able to lift with doesn't train himself what Jesus said, I say unto you that if we have feet as a green of most that seed, he shall say onto this mountain. Removings to yonder a coup. Those days, I used to walk in Legos and came back just for the weekend to visit with my family. My son was sick, everybody was sick. I said, no, we will not treat these one with drugs. I went to where my son was, I prayed in tongues, I touched the stomach, I prayed in tongues, I touched the stomach. I touched him. The third time, he stood up. That's how we went and started lifting waits, waits. Wait. Those days, my house was a four bedroom flat, and when we hold conferences, people come from different places and come from the villages and come from other cities. And the only accommodation available then was my house. So sometimes we are sixty nine in my house. And my wife became a cook that would cook in a very massive pot. Because after the conference, everybody, oh, my god, in my city room. It's a hostel. You need to if you want to go through it, you have to tiptoe, because my god, the one we finished from the conference and come home, they're still wait waits. Among the people that came from the villages, one day they came with one guy. They say he's restless. Since since it became two years, he's restless. It's restless day night. If he sleeps, you'll sleep in the daytime, but in. The night he's Uh. It was a devil, and I rebuked that spirit and the weight was lifted, and the parents slept even the morning session of the conference. There was there were if we had left them, they were that sleptop because they have no slept for a long time. Waits can take sleep. Wait. Wait. One of those times we finished from the conference, I and my wife we just drove home. There were there the people in the hostel, our house or the hostel, so taking food and all of that, moving around. And I came and stood in the sitting room and the annointing was still on me and the people among the one thing with us that hard devils began to manifest. We started the delivery service at home, casting out devils. It became too late. I lost my appetite. It waits in the gymnasium of Christ. Sometimes your appetite will go because you are lifted, you're taking away, you're moving things around. And the Bible says we have such capacity by faith and the major effeith that can move the size of a mountain is just a grain. So when you see in the church and we don't have corporate ability to move anything, it means there's no grain left. There's no grain left. And when there's no grain left, what you have is philosophy, all kinds of philosophy, the mind of men communicated to the minds of men. That's not how Jesus preached. Jesus the fountain that they carried was in his spirit pointing out to the spirits of men. The twelve disciples he had were the worst of men that were available. They had rejected them, and he took them and invested in them, and they lifted the boarding of the gospel. And that's why you hit the gospel today, because that did not fait. We're going to live some wiys tonight. Are you with me? All right? So push with me, Push with me. Let us do first somewhere, Oh my God, my time is flying. Sure time out, Oh first at chapter seventeen. First somewhere, Chapter seventeen thirty four, First Summer, seventeen thirty four. When you come, make sure you come with your bible, come with your notebook, your pen, so that when you get back home you read the things we are teaching again, started them, accept the challenges that are coming through the deliveries, and begin to exercise your spirit. What we want to do today to raise a cantonment where everyone is a fit member of the army of Jesus Christ, because we want to take things down in Minnesota. I want to take some installations down when the place of prayer. One of those days, and then the man came and he found an idol somewhere in his house that he rented the house, moved into the house, and then he found an idol. The reason why he came to us is because he has noticed that we pray every day. We stop him with our prayers. So now you pray happy. But this is your job. I'm not a prayer person, but this is a spiritual matter. This is an idol. It is in your court. Those of you, those of you that are typical Americans, they don't know what an idol is, not the American idol that they're no, no, no, no, that's not what we're talking about. An idol is the imagery of a deity, a demonic deity. You have no idea. The moment you touch that thing, you and the deity have a conversation. Except you're stronger than the deity. That's why you can touch that idol and go free. So the man who happens, the spiritual man, maybe has down business with some my doors before, because how they didn't know that I was an idol? You know, he was supposed to be interrogated, but we were full of faith, so we did remember to interrogate. I got. Moved there. When we got there, he was trying to explain. I carried the hooting and I carried it. I carried it, I moved it up, I took it. That's hows some people give their life to Christ when they see that there's something you have that is more. Powerful than this. Now this is this is the idea. This is what happened in the Book of the First Summer chapter seventeen thirty four. And David said on to Salve that Somenant kept his father's ship. And there came a lion and a beer and took the lamb out of the flock. And I went after them and smoote him and delivered. It out of his mouth. This is his story. There was a time I. Engaged the beer, I smote it. I engaged the lion, I smosed it. I smotted. And that is the reason why I believe that this is all circum sighted phyllis that will be like one of them said, notice he had the history. First of all, he lifted something before a woman's husband died, and she said that they should not bury her bury him, that is going to. Pray and she will rise that he cannot die. Then I asked the people that knew the woman and she killed a beer before because she did there was no record about her beer. She never killed any ber, never killed a lyon. Then she wants to contend with the uncircumcised felist. Her prayer admitting did not finish before we went to help for the barrier because when we knew that she was not fit for that work of it. She had no history in weightlifting. May not give you understanding because some of you I said, oh, your pastor, you were not sympathetic. You were not. No, that matter is weightlifting. She has no record of smiting a beer, no record or smiting a lion. She doesn't stand the chance with the uncircumcis for you LISTA. So what I came to tell you today is I'm going to assign you. You need to out a have to assign you a wait to test your capacity, test what your prayer can do, to test what your first thing can do. If you focus, what can you do? What can you do? We went for a crusade to preach in a place in northern Nigeria. Most of you know Northern Nigeria is Islamic, so we were opportuned to be given an opportunity to hold the crusade in a place. It's a rare sight for you to want to hold the crusade in northern Nigeria. You can be killed. So that's an opportunity we may not have ever again. But it was given to us, and why we set up everything. And they gave me the microphone. I just heard it like this, and he began to rain, I mean heavy rain. Then I lifted up my hands. I said, Jesus, you sent me here. Let the rain go. You know what happened. You not believe it. The rain where we were holding the crusade ended, but the rain was still falling. But this place was dry. There was no rain, There was no reinder. That was how a great preacher in Nigeria from the north. That was the day he gave his life to Christ. I don't want to call his name. All kinds of people gave their life to Christ that night. I was not the first time I stopped rain. I knew it was possible because I have done a similar thing before. The problem with the churches that the average never has no experience. The only thing we do is just sing Jesus lawyah no lift also lift lift, stand for us to lift too many weights on, checked, too many weights on, touched. Time to lift. The rain stopped on the field today, but if you walk away from the field, you enter into the And it was like that for a long time. Even the people on the field knew it was a miracle. We went again to Portacot. You know, Potacotic can rain anytime, and the moment they gave me the Mincypican to ring, it was open air. I said, Jesus, you know I'm on duty. The rain stopped. Well. We finished the crusade by twelfth midnight. I wanted to sleep. Jesus and kept me and whispered. I said, whenever you stop the rain and you're finished doing what you're doing, release it. I said, I'm sorry, sorry, oh rain, They ain't came back. He came back. He came back. He came back. Because that was not the first time. That was not the first time I was in that. I went I went to I went to I went to South Africa, and the Great Jesus whispered to me. He said, tell her to stand up it was a big meeting, very big meeting, he said. He said, face that woman and tell the woman stand up. You need to see how the legs were. The legs were dead. I removed my eyes from there, I said, I spoke in Tom and I went here. The action was here. I moved this a way. The Holy gonna say, you know what, turn back, go to that woman. And tell her to stand up. I've seen creeples on curtious walk before that time, a lot of them my blocks come, but I've never seen a creeple on a white chair walk. And the woman's leg was too dry for her to walk. And the Holy ghost won let me. I tried to convince him that there's a revelation I need to preach. Ah. He said, lift that weight. And what I did was that I closed my eyes and I told the woman and I pointed like this woman rights and her lex. We came to shake her lex. We came to shake. So when I saw the legs were shaky, I became bold. I said, a woman rise. Before you knew it, she put her right leg on the ground. It was shaky. They took up from the wheelchair to exercise her legs. She put the left on the ground. She did not fall. I spoke in terms because I was my faith had gone Jesus. Then she began to I couldn't preach that my revelation again that day. The whole place, the whole place scat that. I went back to my room and then I said, sorry, I'm sorry about what happened. What happened because I want to lift my weight. So this week, if thou can'st believe, Jesus said, all things are possible to him not believe. And you know that that obedience opened the door to another dimension of the miracle ministry. To me, yes, now there's nothing I'm I'm afraid of, not including dead copsies that have seven days dead. That's not an I'm afraid of. If the Holy Gooest is the one that is directed, count me in. I am there already. We need men that are fit that can lift the said. Such men have a history, he said, I took out the beer, I took out the lion, and this uncircumcised philistine will be like one of them. Can you do like this? I'm going to take out my beer in the name of Jesus Christ. So now I'm supposed to show you three levels of weights. But I think you already get my message. So no need for us to go into that three levels of weights that you're supposed to lift. But I will show you the last one, number three. I won't show you want to. You have already gotten the message. So it is left for us to begin the weightlifting. Now, weightlifting, there are things. There are weights in Minnesota that we need to lift their weights, and before this year runs out, we startlifting them. That. Weightlifters need to raise some things so that the destiny of some cities can be open. Weightlifters need to take some things out so that the destiny of some families can be open. If there are no weightlifters, what you have people like that man that can only carry his son around? All right, second, correngeans since you because it is time, actually, and I'm regulated by time. It's actually I've used up. No, we can stop here today. We can stop here today. I've used up all the time that I'm supposed to use for this presentation. We're going to spend the moment just praying. Spend a moment just praying. Alleluya. I came to tell you that that medical report that you have received can be reversed. It's a weight. It's a weight that can be lifted. Your faith can sponsor it. Your capacity in the spirit can sponsor that movement, can sponsor that displacement. Can reject what the devil straying at. You can reject what the devil stroying at your finances. Your capacity and in the spirit can shield off that way set and wants to release into your family. Your capacity in the spirit can become the antidude from the patterns that you're seeing in the life of your children. You can reject it and lift that wi set and it's placing upon those precious ones. Oh my god, Oh my god. David said that I took up the bear. He said, I took out the lion. We want to pray this as a lord. I want to, I want to. I want to take things out this year. I want to take these things out this year. Can your hand be upon my hand? Can your voice be upon my voice? Can your spirit be upon my spirit? Because I want to take things out. And just in case there are things that are in your way, and maybe you once and again you've built a relationship trust in God for marriage. It didn't add up a marriage. It's a weight and you can lift it. If there's a weight before you, right now, and begin to attend to that weight. I say, Lord, put your hands in my hands so that I can lift this weight. Put your spirit upon my spirit so that I can live this weight, every form of deposit, every weight, everything that is contractary through the promises of the scriptures that is hanging around my life. Lord, empower me, empower me. Strengthened me with mind by your spirit in my inner man. Strengthened me with capacity, Strengthened me with capacity, strengthened me with mind.

It's not time to throw in the towel. I challenge you. This is the time for the reliance of God to our eyes. The Bible says that save us, that will come out of Zion.

Oh Jesus, is that a twenty six from verse sixteen, Just please project it on the screen. Isaiah twenty six, Verse sixteen, but you can write the reference down. Isaiah twenty six, verse sixteen. Can you put that on the screen? Watch this? It's a load in trouble. Have they visited day? They put out a prayer when they chastening was upon there. Now listen to me. Do you know with me? Those people that decide not to visit the gym, and it was in the day of trouble that they visited God. They were not exercises. In fact, there's one equipment in our gym at the estate that one you you'll be pulling. It like I didn't know what it was for. Wanted this guys visited God in trouble. They became prayer warriors when they are chasting began next verse. Let me show the outcome. It isn't like I said, whoopen with child that Rodney the time of our delivery is in pain and cried out in our banks. So have we been in the side of law next verse we have with child? We are being in pain. We have, as it were, brought forth wind. The people that that begin prayer when there's struggle, they don't have results. I'm just telling you, just in case you don't like the gym. This is your story. That's not all of their only personal prayer point was not answered. Number one. Number two, he said, we have not wrought any deliverance in the ad. That's number two. They will lack the ability to lift the weights that then deliver us in their generation. That's number two. The number three, neither have the inhabitats of the world fully the giants that I read themselves before them, they will not fall in their lifetime. That these are the three fits that before a man that refuses to accept the call to visit the spiritualgy I will not become so in pray afferable. The average believer opperates that way. First of all, you will bring forth wind. You will not be able to rot deliference in your generation, and the giants of your time will not fall by your soul. I would not wait for danger, I would not wait for crisis. I would build myself in my most holy faith. I will exercise my spirit. That's the posture of an enterprising Christian. And that's why one of the metaphors of a Christian. My preference. As I'm praying, my body was going to sleep. I beat it. I put it in subjection. I put it in subjection, I stay in the spiritual gym so that my life will not become a contradiction to the message that I preached. Whenever you see a man whose lifestyle is different from his message, it means he left the gym so he can become a liar. Can we pray to night, Please don't forget the scripture. I was about to come into the car so that we'll drive here. Then the scripture came. I delayed the We have been with child, we have been in pain. We have as it were, brought forth we we have not wrote any defiference, and yet neither have the inhabitants of the world falling my Lord. Here was Jesus name H
