Operating wonders by the word

And counters. They do the quality of our lives and Goud that's going to reveal to us the futility of life without God. And as we activate potmos and calling in our lives and just going to restore intimacy and fellowship. The land of Zebula, the land of Naftali, by the way of the sea beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles. The people which sat in darkness saw a great light. And to them which sat in the region and the shadow of death, light is stronger. Encounters come to restore intimacy. Encounters come to reveal to us the futility of life. If you don't have a relationship with God, anything of value can become God to you. Welcome to encounter Jesus Ministries, sustaining and experiential knowledge of God and walking in the fullness of our eternal or the nation. Now listen to God's servant apostle or Ropo Michael as it takes us through an encounter with the word. Thank your prescious Father, We give your glory, we give you praise, We magnify your name. Pressureus, Lord be God again, to draw from your spirit, to draw from your world. We asked that you show yourself strong tonight, bring men into the blessed place, cause them to flourish, cause them to prosper, and cause them to live in the liberty that you have procured for us in Christ. Father, Do this and take the glory in Jesus' precious Knae you babysitter. Thank you so much, God, bless you for the oh as for me. My glory. I'm the lift of. My for that. Are for me, my glory, and the lifts are of. My You know there are many forces trying to bury you in shame. There are many forces trying to bury. You in sorrows. Can you work on this? Sound please? There are many forces trying to bury you in disgrace, but you are not without. A witness you. All songs like this are also prophecies. So when you sing them, don't sing them absentmindedly. As you sing them, you discover that the anointing will well open your inside, and that which you declare we begin to find expression thru you my glory underlief Taroh, oh my SMI said, many a day that have riasen up against me. He saidbout that Lord, Thank God, there is a God in heaven some of us who have been buried. You know, the Bible said, the thousands shall falk by your side. He said, ten thousand by your right hand, as the minimum number of attack you received in one day. In the minimum eleven thousand, he said, none of them shall come near you. So the attacks that come near you are the ones allowed to beauty your faith. The things that should kill you were not permitted. If they were permitted, you will not be here. That's why anything the devil throws at you and the Lord allows you look at it as a platform for manifestation. If if we kill you, it will not come near you. He say, thousands shall fall by your side, ten thousand by your writer, He said, he shall not come near you. So anyone that comes near you is already a testimony, I professor over someone. Everything you are going through now, in. The next seven days, they will become platforms for testimonies. I say, in the next seven days, they become platforms for testimony. In the name of Jesus. Sit down for a moment tonight. I just want to share with us briefly on one of the channels God uses to empower us. So I'm going to look at operating wonders by the word. The Word of God is a fortress for those of us that believe on this name. But before I show you what the world will do, I've taught several times some of my people who have taught. I would like to expray a few things that are surrounding you, trying to negate your glorious existence, so that as you receive the Word, you will have the consciousness of what the world will do for you. Do in you, and do through you. Glory to God, Hallelujah, Praise God. Some seventy four or twenty. Let me begin from there. Because of this song that we've sun, he said, have respect onto the covenant, he said, for the dark places of the earth are filled with the habitation habitations of cruelty. Have respect onto the Covenant. The dark places of the earth are filled with the habitations of cruelty. And when you read this scripture, you would want to say, Ah, I feel for those who in the dark places of the earth. I pity those Why in the dark places of the earth. You now go to Isaiah sixty from the one. Let's see where the dark places of the earth is, he said. Arise, shine, he said, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is reason upon thee he said, for behold, the darkness shall cover the earth. So when it speaks about the dark places of the earth, it's not a few places here and there. Anywhere you don't see darkness prevail is because somebody has a reason. Everywhere in the earth is part of the dark places. The only places where there is no darkness, at the places where suns who have risen by the word refused darkness from exercising dominion. Arise shine, for thy light is come, he said, For behold, darkness cover the earth. And you think that is bad? And now goes farther to tell you gross darkness shall cover the people. Gross darkness, but those of us who are exonerated from the powers of darkness, at those upon whom the Lord has a reason, at. Those upon whom the glory of God the bannacus. And so if you don't know how to draw the glory, if you don't know how to make the glory you're dwelling, just know automatically you are under the influence of darkness. And they showed us from some seventy four ver twenty that anywhere there is darkness. There is cruelty. Darkness comes to destroy and to mess up your life. And so the things I'll be sharing tonight at things you don't just receive what things you receive and trade with aggressively, because this is warfare. Only those who are aggressive in their operation we see the desired results. Darkness is here to mess us up. But thanks be to God, he has created many systems to exonerators from the powers of darkness. Now let me explain a little about darkness. I think the first time I thought this was somewhere in Legos. And a couple of times I've taught it. But in order to give you understanding of what we are saying, let me first of all explain darkness from two dimensions, so that you know the one we are talking about. So you don't read the Bible and then you begin to You know, the scriptures are not to be interpreted with your brain. They are revealed by the spirit. Because sometimes you read the Bible, you see something in one place, and then you see something that appears to be an outright contradiction on the other place. It's not a contradiction when it begins to appear like a contradiction. Then it's a mystery. You need the holy goals to give you understanding. And God does it that way because dear ing is your glory preserved. He said, we speak wisdom amongst them that are perfect. He said, they are not the wisdoms of this world that the princes know except but they are the wisdoms of God. And he said, we do this so that. Your glory can be secyre, the glory that was meant for you before the foundations of the world. So the reason God does this is to secure your heritage. Hallelujah. So when we talk about darkness, the first dimension of darkness are the mysteries of gods of the spirit that can never be known no matter how much your. Study, except God reveals them to you. You know, they turn on twenty nine. Twenty nine says the secret things belong onto God, he said, But the things that are revealed, he said, they belong to us and to our children forever. So there are things God hides so that Saturn will not be able to corrupt them. That's why First Corinthians too, where I just got it from, from verse six to verse nine. See the way the Bible puts it. It is, how be it we speak wisdom among them that are mature or perfect? He say, Yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world that come to nod. Verse seven he said, but we speak the wisdom of God in the mystery, even the heed in wisdom wich God ordain before the world onto our glory. So there's such a thing called the heat wisdom of God. Those are the mysteries of God. So when we are referring to darkness, there is a dimension of darkness that refers to the hidden wisdom of God that cannot be studied. This is one of the dwelling places of God. God hides himself in mysteries. You know when you. Read Firstimoltich after six verse sixteen. Let me explain to you what I mean by sometimes scriptures appear to be contradictory, but they are not. Is a concerning God, who only had immortality, dwelling in light which no man. Can approach onto. Are you seeing that? So the Bible says, yeah, that God dwells in what light which no man can approach onto. Now God to. Second Chronicles the six verst one, and see what the Bible says I'm trying to show you that there is a dimension. Of darkness that is the mysteries of God, he said. Then Solomon said, the Lord said that he would dwell in tick darkness. So first, what is six sixteen says he dwels in light. The prophet is talking by the spirit, and he said, God says he dwells in tip dark tick darkness. Now look at some eighteen verse eleven. He say he made darkness his secret place, his pavilion round about him. We are dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. Ah. So does this contradict the first? No, when we are talking about darkness, darkness is not just a covering that tries to shield light. No, when we are talking about darkness in spiritual context, we are talking about the mysteries of God, the secrets of God on one side, the things that cannot be understood. Except they are revealed. That's why God dwells in thick darkness. So it's not just about a cloud. It's about secrets, the shrouded dimensions of God's wisdom that no man can access. In Exodus twenty twenty one, most Is said, I will step into the deep darkness. We are God dwells most is stepped into the deep darkness. We are God wars. In physical sense, a dark cloud can come, but that's not what it's talking about. It's beyond the dark cloud that appears on man Sini. It's about the. Secrets that shrouds go that makes it impossible for you to approach you, that makes it impossible for you to access the realities, so that these wisdoms are preserved. That's why to you tomorrow, when we talk about spiritual things, the people of the world things we are brainwashed. They think we are foolish, so that we will be advising us that we should not allow ourselves be brainwashed. They don't know that. They are the ones who don't understand because they can't know it. On Ts revealed first. Quarrenteans two from twelve to fourteen sent we have not received the spirit that is of this world, but we have received the spirit that is of God, that we might know the things that are freely given to us by God. Invest thirteen. He said, which things the Holy ghost teaches? He said, we speak not with words that man teaches, but which the Holy Ghost teaches. Comparing spiritual things with spiritual invest fourteen. He said, But the natural man, the guy who thinks it's all about intellectual capacity, He said, this man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God. He said, neither can he know them, because they are spiritually designed. That's why when you talk about. Gods supernatural ability to heal the sick, they tell you, bro, just relax, go to a hospital. We are not against seeing the doctor. We are not against going to the hospital, but we know that God heals the sick, because if hospitals don't exist, it doesn't mean we're hopeless. If doctors are out of town, it doesn't mean we are finished. Our confidence is not in men. Our confidence is in God. And God demonstrated it from the days of the prophets, in Christ, Jesus, in their pursus, and. Till this day, He's healing the sick. But there are many people who think that anything you talk about divine healing is gimmick, and they go extra mind to discredit it because they don't understand that these things are revealed. You can't study them out. They are part of the mysteries of God. When you talk about God prospering people, you hear them telling you things like go and better look for an investment, or buy and sell something, or produce something. We know those things. Those are natural laws. For you to prospine this world, you have to do one or two investments because you must read what you saw. For you to prostpine in this world, you have to produce something because you must offer value. For you to prosper in this world, you must have a wisdom that brings you into realities that others don't know. And you must have a gift or a talent that you market very well. We know those things. But the Bible said, my God, just supply all your needs according to not your investments, not your giftings, according to not who you know, according to what his riches, not in your country in glory. There is a riches that comes from glory. And as you begin to work with God, he causes the lines to fall for you in please and places. That's why Jesus said, I have told you you will read from where you do know. So so natural laws. Are correct and must be applied. But there is a realm beyond the natural laws. We are things happen to you beyond what you qualify. For that one is not natural. Ordinary men can see. They are part of the mysteries of God. And once and again we teach these things, we practice them because they give us an advantage when we have to function with. Those in the world. If all we do is all the people of the world that are doing, what then is the advantage. We have an advantage in the spirit. We have an advantage in the secrets of God. So there is a darkness that is designed for our glory. That's what separates us from the people. That's what ditinguishes us. That's what makes us stand apart regardless of circumstances. It say, as thou know it not how the bones are formed in the womb of. Heart, that is with child. He says, so also know it not now the ways of the spirit. So we are not against people seeing doctors to be improved, but we know there is divine he need. We are not against people investing in producing something using their giftings. But we know there is a riches that comes from the glory of God. He say, it is the blessings of the Lord. The neck cat rich and add that no sorrue. So that is a riches that comes from the blessings of God. He can choose to deploy through wisdom, through favor. He can choose to deploy through enemies. But there is the riches that comes from the blessings of God. All of these are the mysteries of God. They are not available to the people of the world. So when they argue these things with you, don't waste your time. Show them the scripture. If they can't get it, leave them. The natural man receiveth not the things of the spirit of God. He said, neither can he know them. They are not understood through mental power. They are spiritually designed. So when you explain the Bible and they can't get it, it means their discernment is low. Leave them. Pray for them anytime God opulls their eyes. Fine, but you are operating a ram that is beyond the natural. So I teach you here. Most of the times I say, engage what men engage. But in the situation where what men engage is no longer working, switch gear, don't trap yourself. Only at the realm of men. Glory to God. So there's a. Dimension of darkness that deals with God's secret wisdom. But that's not all there is about darkness. There is not that dimension of darkness that has to do with evil and wickedness. That's the darkness we want to trust the world of God to deal with tonight, and many are not aware that this darkness exists. The things that happen in life are a set of luck or coincidences. Nothing happening here as a coincidence. Everything you see happening here where deliberately, okay, straightened from the spirit realm. The natural realm is the realm of manifestation, so things are concluded in the spirit before they happen in the natural. You will be greatly mistaken to assume that the things happening here are a set of coincidences. That would be the greatest deception that you have adopted in your life. Things happen because they were orchestrated, and if they are evil, then know that evil spirits are behind it, either. Directly or indirectly. And the way these beings work is in a very organized way. Demons, principalities, powers, and not have hazard beings. They are very intelligent beings. You will be acting funny if you say Certain stupid. You will be very deluded to say Certain doesn't know what is doing. These are very smart beings. Creating structures and systems designed to destroy even the best of men. That's why we don't fight them by our mental powers. The only advantage we have against them is when we tap into God's frequency. Now, let me show you four kids of evil or darkness in the negative supernatural. The first is that darkness are. Entities in the spirit realm, demonic entities. The same way in light, there are songs of light. In darkness, there are also songs of darkness or evil ones. You know, the Bible Cousus invested as Alonia five five that we are the children of light. So there are beings that are called light, there are also beings that are called darkness. Any entity that is primary preoccupation is to work against God, and this program is a being of darkness. Any entity. It can be a man, it can be a demon, it can be a falling nager. But if your primary preoccupation is to work against God and it's a gender building and creating wickedness towards men, just know that you are an entity of darkness and the Bible is replete Matthew thirteen, verse nineteen. And I'm saying this today is not that you be careful because One of the things darkness does is to steal the world. The word of God is coming to you. When they come to you, one of the things they steal from your wards remmer world that your spirits has caught darkness can come and contend with you and receive it. That's why some people come from meetings like this. They believe they are healed. They know their healed. Sometimes their symptom actually leave them, but they walk out of the auditorial and they start. Wandering, could this be true? And that ground of contention opens up a gate for darkness, and that world that produce silly certain will steal it from them. And after one month they go back to the same condition and they say that thing was has come. Maybe I was just excited because they don't know the operation of darkness. Look at what this scripture said. He said, when anyone heard the word of the Kingdom and understand that did not, he said, then come met the wicked one that is darkness, an entity, and catchat away that which was sown. In his heart. So the world had already entered the heart, but because he didn't understand it, he couldn't interact with it. And said, when that entity comes, he will stee that word from his heart. He will collected, and the healing will be lost. And this person can go to a television station and say, forget everything they're doing. George says calm. He didn't know that his lack of. Understanding open the gate for the evil one to steal that world. And when that word was tolen, the healing stopped, the prosperity stopped, the breakthrough stop. This is why you must pay. The price to keep everything you receive from God. Because these entities are working day and night like roaring lions. John Fortyves thirty. Darkness is an entity. I'm taking time to explain it like this because I want you to receive what you receive tonight by faith. Engage your spirit and take it by faith. I don't want to function tonight by the annoyan they say. Hereafter, I will not talk much with you, he said, for the prince of this world come next to me and find that nothing. These are entities of darkness. When it's talking about the prince of this war is the prince of the power of the air officials to two that causes men to walk in rebellion. When it's talking about the prince of this warld's talking about the God of this WARLD, that blinds the heart. Of men from receiving the Gospel. Second Correnials four, vers. Three and four. Even Jesus, these beings went to him, he said, But when they came, they found nothing. There was no ground for them to function. So darkness is first of all a wicked, evil entity that walks against God and his programs. The program of God for your life is for your prosperity, it's for your growth in the things of the kingdom. It's for your glorious existence. But these things will negate it. That's why some of us are sick here today. It's not just because you drank bad water. It's not just because Mospito bet you all of those things can cause sickness. But most times the things that happen to us and entities behind it. And if you don't rise up to war against that entity with the world, he will be shocked that after you do all the treatment that. You are told you deal with that issue, it will not work. Then you now discover that what's going on here is beyond physiological and our biological process. Something has gone wrong. A being is behind it. That's why Act Tentatyar. The Bible said, how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the holy ghosts and power, who went about doing good, healing all that were oppressed of the devil, for God was with him. You know how many people Jesus you Some had accidents, some were dead, some were born with things. That you will call natural arcosis. The Bible say, all of that is the oppression of the devil, because if it's not dead directly, he's dear indirectly. Darkness at work. Number two. Darkness is a government. That's why I told you these beings are organized. They don't just fight too individually. They create systems of authority around your life to work against your will in case you want to rebel. That's why this battle is one that is very fierced. Some of us are falling into the hands of darkness, and we think anytime we want to come out. It's not easy like that too. It will take the power of the Holy Ghost, the power of the world, or the power in the name of Jesus to come out. Because they are not just entities. He's a government. All the testimonies you had here when they were happening. Some look like coincidences, but it's when they began to try to get the results they were looking for and the results were not forthcoming. That was when they discovered that this thing there are authorities behind it. And that's why you must know. It's all that you know how to fight. Some of you are too Lacarjessica with spiritual teens, because you don't know that darkness is a government. You think they are just entities that you walk away from. No, it doesn't work like that. Look at the scriptures. Second Cornians, chapter ten, verse three to five. He said, though we walk in the flesh, we do not war. It's not a conversation is war. We do not war after the flesh. Next verse he said, the weapons of our warfare, they are not cannon. This is where the world of God for you is not for education, is a weapon. So when God says you are their head, are not the tay. It's not something you recite. It's something you carry as a weapon of war, because something we come to force you to be a tee. When that thing comes, you say, no way, I am their head. I am not the teche. At that time, the world of God sees this from educating you, it becomes a double. Bady, a weapon of war. And if you don't know how to switch from an information to a weapon. When darkness is a government, you have a challenge. He said. We do not work after the flesh, he said. The weapons of our warfare are not cannon, he said, but they are mighty true. God to the pulling down of war strongholds. Those are established institutions of the spirit, casting down imaginations and every high standing team. When he's speaking about high standing, he's talking to you about excellencies in the demonic rem structures that neget an attempt to neget everything God wants to do in your life. He says, you pull it down, because these are institutions, these are philosophies, these are ideologies, these are concepts that have been built as structures. That will never let you walk into your glory. They say, you pull them down and bring them into captivity, because this is like. A kingdom, so you have to subdue it and bring it into captivity. That is the second definition of darkness. It's a government, is an authority. It's a system of power designed. To frustrate your existence. And then number three definition of darkness is that darkness is a civilization because when it comes as an entity, he builds a system around you. Then it enters into you and creates an ideology in your spirit, in your soul. Rather so that you begin to think in that order. That's why some people have a thinking that they are never good enough. At this point, now it's not anybody oppressing them more. They're the one who decided that they are not good enough. It has become a civilization, a system of thinking, and a lifestyle. There are some people that have concluded that they will never be beheldy. It has become their thinking process. They have made up their mind now that until they leave this world, they will be sick because they don't think it's even possible to live healthy. If you say you can be healthy, they say no, forget about it. In fact, on their own once the why they just take drugs, no symptoms, They just say, wait, wait, wait for the past one month, I don't know what I'm drinking for the past one month, is that I've been exposed to mosquito. They don't won't have any symptom. If you have symptoms, you can see a doctor. If that's your level. Of faith. But this one's don't even't have any symptom. But so long as it's one month, they must take. How do you call it down, doctor? Is it prophilatic? Profile people? Doctors have a name for it. The prophilatic cannot treatment. You just take the drug because it's a system. Now, there are. People here who believe that it seemed possible to live without sent to a perversion. He seems when you tell them that someone is a virgin or somebody is not giving to immorality. They say, a relast, we know this thing? You know? Is it? What is? Where? So talk what you want. As far as they are concerned, that ideology is how they team. So for some people they are falling his scheduled and they cannot put up a battle because they already believe it's impossible. So that's how they think. These ones are not just under government. They have become citizens of that kingdom. There are people who don't believe they can be rich no matter how you shall prosperity they say, niga the word things are here, you know easy if you have ful to it, just thank God. In fact, if you say God is prospering two people here, they would think it's the person by the right and the person by the left. It cannot be them. So there is a way darkness can bring you there that you can prosper. You can't be healthy, you can never be the one who is making the difference. It's a civilization. This is where the devil is trying to take us to. That's why for some people, before you even attempt to pray for them, you have to carry them through a healed school. So first of all they program they're thinking, because then we resist the annointy, then we resist the world of God. They are already citizens of another kingdom. They don't believe this thing is true. Galatians one, verse three and four. He said, grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. What did it die for? Who gave himself for our scenes that it might deliver us from this present evil world? If you check that word is the world an. It means an evil generation, a people who have been bound by his civilization and a way of life. So the words of God, it is not just to deliver us from demonic entities. It's not just to deliver us from demonic powers. It's also to deliver us from demonic civilizations. That's why you hear the gospel, so that you are reoriented, so that you are reindoctrinated, so that you are recolonized, because we are already you already have been enslaved. By another system. It is darkness at work. When he said darkness covered the earth and gross darkness the people as that's sixty best two. He's talking about the civilization. I say, it took me years to believe that me too, I can be prosperous. There's a classtances around me suggested that it was impossible. I'm talking. This thing is not about educational. You can have master's degree, master's and your biggest breakthrough is that you are now the hatred physics I'm telling you, and that you will be there for forty years. You don't know how many first class students have been teaching in kind that too, first class in radiology, first class in mathematics. Fact and what he said, he has been in kindatoo. He has taught there for ten years now. I appreciate little beginning. If that's where you start from, that's good. But these people will never think that there is a better life anywhere that will never take any step. As far as they are concerned. Their fight every two years is for their salary to increase, and the salary increment is five thousand and I er, he's a civilization. I'm telling you, and I was there. You needed to have seen me when I became hatred chemistry. I used to wear three peace suits to school. When I come, I will sit down. And I used to stay in the lab because I didn't want to stay with all the teachers in the staff room. They talk to more. They talk on necessity. So I will wear my suit as staying the lab. As hatod. I was taking my lectures, my classes in the lab. During break time, you was throw around like a knowledgeable man. Meanwhile, this is somebody that. Should give employment to thousands of people. But I was robbed into a civilization. I was robed. I couldn't imagine it. See I try. This is why you need to receive the word of God. Because when the Bible said they that observe lying vanity, they forsake their messes. All I was looking at was how to get a better job. Who will help me come out of this? Until the world of God began to come to me. The word of God began to come to me. That word created a way where there was no way. That world became a tacase that brought me to where I am, and we are still growing by that world. There was a time when I was in one hundred level with the university. Every day I must have headache on one side of my head. This strange my. Brain, it just comes. So I started leaving with parasitamon. That was the story I told you sometime ago. I said, when I started learning it, I used to put Bible with word our insert bibe and a couple and drink. If this world can't tell me, let's put it physically. I thought I would have to live with it for a lifetime. Meanwhile, they save me. Now have become like an ion. The people who travel with me know we will travel back to back to back for months. Give me two hours if I lie down stretch, I am reborn. But I was living on drag as my sustenance. And it became my thinking that it's not possible to live without this day. It's darkness. It's a civilization. It will rope you into a thinking system and that will become your think. It's your reality. That's why you need the world of God. It will show you and not that dimension of reality. And then number four, Darkness is an operasion. Oppression of sickness, oppression of poverty, oppression of ignorance, oppression of death. It's an operation. Anywhere you find sickness, anywhere you find poverty, object poverty. They don't have breathy they need to do. All the money he has he has invested. Nothing comes out of it. Why is like an angel? If it talks, you are wondering where did he get this wisdom? Nothing comes out. Some people go as far as producing something, nobody is interested in it. The only person who is interested in it buys the teen or steals the tea and turn it to his own. And you are wondering what is This is darkness at work. That's why there must be a system of property beyond the natural, because that one comes with power. You shall remember the Lord your God. It is seemed that given the power to prosper, it's an oppression. Have you not seen families where every perst soon gets mad at twenty every lady at twenty five, they already have fibroid. And you are wanting, what's going on here. It's an oppression. All of these things are. The world of God will come to you as weapons to fight you fight entities, fight governments, fight civilizations, and fight operations of darkness. Unto your emancipation this show. Hear me, brothers and sisters. It doesn't matter what is happening around you if you will go for the world of God. If you catch the world and the world and touch your spirit, it will change everything around you. And that's not even the goal of the world. That's where the world begins from. When it changes everything about you, it will now transform you and make you a change agent because the world has the capacity. How do you why do you think God talks the way he talks because he knows how this thing works. Listen to it the way God speaks. Jeremater twenty nine ers e level. He said, I know the thoughts that I have towards you, says the Lord of Hosts. He said, they are thoughts of peace and not of evil. To give you and expect that end. How can you be thinking and expected end when nothing is working? Some of you listening to me, now, you already know in your spirit that you should have a multi million dollar company that has branches all over the world. But as I speak now, you don't have a job. So although your circumstance is back, but somewhere your hat. Your expected end is to be a global entity. You cannot find the connection better where you are and what you think. The only bridge that will take you there is the world of God. That's why God speaks the way he speaks. Some of you listening to me now, you know you have a voice that your generation should hear. But the church you are doing, the church you are heading in the village where people don't need transport to come. You have been fifteen for ten years and you wondering what is going on? What do we shift you from where you are to where you ought to be? Is the verico of the world. So when God speaks like this, he's telling you that although your circumstances may be bad. He said, don't worry that vision I have put in your spirit. There's a way to get there. If you will follow him, he will take you there. And I met both to Prophessy to someone that this service is an induction into your new level. I met both or tell someone. That although everything around you is bad, frustrating, But this is the emancipation service that will take you from where you are to where you ought to be. Say down for a moment. This is why we look up to him four vers five. He said, they looked up to him, and their faces were radiant, and they were not ashamed. They looked up to him, and their faces were radiant, and they were not ashamed. One of the scriptures that blesses me somewhat is Malachi chapter two from verse fifteen check verse sixteen or seventeen now or is it three check three. For me zoe zoe? Why zoe zoe check seventeen? Mm hmmm. Where's that scripture that says, although the fIF three shall not blow the ha back cock chack had back cock three fifteen for me to seventeen. So where he said, although the fifth three shall not blows on neither chaffruit be in the vine. He said, the labor of the olive chaf fail, and the field shy yield no meat. The flock shall be cut off from the food, and there shall be no head. In the stores. Next verse is saying, yet I will rejoice in the law, and I will joy in the God of my salvation. Listen, not be walking around you. It doesn't mean you are hopeless. Hopelessness is not defined by circumstances, is defined by mindset. If you know that you have the God of salvation, everything happening around. You could just become your platform of manifestation. Everything happening around you could just become the ingredient that you beautify your testimony. Otherwise your testimony would have been weak. Is said, I will rejoice in my God, the God of my salvation, num. Verse twenty one, verse eight or nine. And the Lord said, down to Moxes, this is the key. The way out is to look up to him, he said. They looked up to him, say four verse five. Their faces were radiant, and they were not ashamed. Now the children of Israel rebelled against God, and serpens came out and began to bite them. And this is the key of God gave Moses. Don't do anything about this happens. You can't even do anything about it, he said. And the Lord said, down to Moses, make thee a feary serpent, and set it upon a pole. And it shall come to pass that every one that is beating, when he looks upon it, shall leave. So the key to come out of any oppression of darkness, be poverty, be it sickness, be it ignorance, be death, is to look up to him. That was pierced because he's not talking about the devil. Was Snick's talking about Jesus, who was crucified. And that's why in John chapter three, if you read. From verse fourteen, Jesus was reference and seeing this same crypture. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so most the son of Man be lifted verse fifteen. He said that whosoever believed, So the way you look onto him is not by looking up, is by believing with your heart. He said, whosoever believed in him should not perish, but have everlasting life, for God so loved the world verse sixty. Most of you call that scripture, I don't know. This is the foundation. He showing you the way out of your cordmire. He show you the way out of your frustration in life. The same way the serpent was lifted in the wilderness, and anybody who looked upon was safe. He said, that is how the son of Man was lifted. So any time we preach Christ crucified anytime we advance the world of God. No matter what your circumstance is, you can come out of it. The only reason you may never come out is and instead of looking at. Him, you are looking at your circumstance. You know the problem with many people, Their focus is on their crisis. This is my cancer, this my headache, this my poverty, this my sickness, this my frustration, that's all they are saying. But those who know how the technology walk, he said, where you are beating, don't look at where you are beating. I know your circumstance is difficult. It is real. Everybody can see it. We have seen how you have toyed all night, yet you have not caught anything. But if you keep looking at that frustration you we keep being frustrated. We know how you are struggled. You have taken medicine for ten years. We've heard you cry. But that's not the key. The problem with us is we are looking for human sympathy. So we carry our frustration. We make a crown out of it, and we put it on ourselves so that people will say, oh sorry, oh sorry, it won't take you nowhere. The key is to look away from. Your crisis and begin to look at the word. And the way you look at the world is to believe what the world said. Why do you believe the word? I give you four reasons very quickly. Number one, the Word captures the promises of God. And we know that God is faithful. He can't deny himself.
