OVERCOMING

We were on a journey, recommenced. Johnny yesterday, and I'd like to continue from where we start. We were attempting to investigate. The temptation of Jesus Ali Lujah. Okay, so we'll just start from the Book of Hebrews Chapter Hebrews, chapter four, Hebrews chapter four. The Book of Hebrews chapter four. Will begin our reading from vest number fourteen, just to bring us. Back to speed. With where we left off yesterday Hebrews four, verse fourteen. Seeing then that we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast to our profession, for we have not an high priest which cannot be touched by the feelings of our infirmities, but in all points tempted like us. We are yet without sin. Now according to the Book of Hebrews, there is a disclosure of the fact that Jesus is capable of identifying with our weaknesses, our insufficiencies, our situations as circumstances. And the reason for which he can actually understand and identify with us in our situation is because he was tempted at all points. He was tempted at all points. So if our Master was tempted, we are going to be tempted. However, when the case of the Master was described, an emphasis was unveiled, tempted at all points. So we will need to look. At the points of temptation as our way of coming back into the lecture that we started yesterday. The points of temptation. Now come with me to the book of Genesis, chapter three. Let us begin from there. It will give us an insight into a broad spectrum of possibility, and from that point we can have a reference point to analyze the temptation of Jesus. Now, the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said onto the woman, ye had God said, ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden. And the woman said, onto the serpent, we may eat of the fruit of the trees which is of the garden. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden. God had said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall you touch it lest you die. And the serpent said, unto the woman, ye shall not surely die. For God don't know. That in the day that he eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and he shall be asked God's knowing good. And evil. The stirty six is by emphasis. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof and did eat, and gave also on to her husband with her, and he. Did eat. First of all, we need to begin with the serpent. There is a description of the serpent that is given in the Book of Genesis, chapter three, verse one. The Bible says that when God created every creature, there was an ability that he gives to the serpent in a superfluous manner. It means that the serpent vested every creature in the creation of God in that ability. And the ability of which I speak is subtilty. But the Bible reveals that the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field that the Lord God had made. So, first of all, what is subtlety. Subtlety is one of the qualities that confast the highest level of opportunities to manifest deception. You know when. A serpent might be targeting Philip now my son Philip, and this way Philipp is seated the serpent. We begin to go in this direction so that you will not perceive the intention that the serpent has in mind. The serpent is a perfectionist when it comes to concealing his intentions, so it is difficult for you to discern what he has in mind. So that tendency, that capacity, that ability. God in creation decided to afford the serpent the capacity for subtilty much more than any creature that the Lord God had made. So it was because of the serpent's capacity for subtilty that made him a preferred option of selection. Now you see. Demons, including Satan, they are persons without bodies. Are you with me? They are full personalities, but they do not have a body. That were bereaved of their spiritual bodies when they were cast from out of the service of God. So part of the things that demonic entities will need to play within the framework of a three dimensional existence is a body. And I'm just trying to explain to you how that Satan had in numerous assortment of bodies to select from, but he decided to select the serpent because of equality that the serpent has, which is his capacity for subtelty, and subtilety gives the serpent the ability to conceal is motive to conceal is intention. So you do not know where he's going. And that's why Jesus did not teach us how to communicate with demons, how to transact with them. Where are you from? Why are you in this family? Ah? Because it's a master craftsman in terms of concealing intention. And you might think you're actually communicated, you might think you are receiving intelligence, but you don't know the creature that you're dealing with. Of all the numerous assortment of creatures with bodies in that ecosystem that he had the opportunity to choose from, it was the serpent that was of interest to him because of a quality a serpent which is sortilty. So in how I investigation and we like you to begin to pick some guy, I don't know how far we can go to this, but the Lord heppos, the Lord hepples, So let's underline sorbtilty. So subtilty happens to be one of the potentials that the devil required in order for him to carry out his intention. Sorbtilty. So what he did when the serpent allowed him to possess its body was that he now had the advantage of subtilty in the expression of his intention. So that potential that the serpent has, in a superfluous fashion, became a hideout for Satan in order for him to implement his intention. Please help me Preacha, your neighbor. When Satan comes your. Way, he will hide when certain comes your way. He doesn't want to be visible. He wants you to see circumstances. He wants you to see situations. He wants you to see people. That's certain because he needs an undercover kind of opression in order for him to hack into your mind and to deceive you to think that he is not the one that is involved. So certainty is a potential that is highly valued in the kingdom of darkness, and so set and saw a creature that had that capacity, And in his selection, which was very intentional, he chose a creature that will give him the cover of sertilty as an advantage in his project of deception. Now, the Bible says the serpent was more subtle than all of the beasts of the field, which the Lord God had made, so he took his covering in the serpent, so his intentions were completely hidden. What he wanted to achieve was completely hidden. But I would like you to see so subtlety is one of Satan's weapons number two. When he came into the Guardian of Eden Seturan, even though the. Man was there, Adam was there because when the fruit was taken, when the fruit was taken, and Adam perlsy part took. If partook of the fruit, he gave to the man that was with her. So Adam was there all along. But Saturn would rather engage in a discussion with Eve and not with Adam. And there are many reasons why Saturn operates that way. He will, first of all, Adam was the original person. And I'm not here to fight my sisters just because I'm noticing that sisters are becoming very sensitive at this point. But there's no I have no such intention to begin a war. Ali Lawyer. Now Saturn knows that Adam was the original person that received instructions from God with respect to how to relate with the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil, Saturn is not likely to prosper much if he directs his conversation to Adam, because Adam was antiquately instructed. His teacher was God. But Eve was not as advantageous as Adam was, because Eve's teacher was Adam. And I'm going to show you some of the things that Eve. Said in a response to the questions of Satan in the Body of the Serpent that will suggest to you that Adam was not a good teacher. So Adam, Satan already perceived a possibility of an omission in the educational system that was granted to Eve. That means Satan is a highly analytical entity. Highly analytical entity, Saturn needs information about a person in order for him to be able to attack the person successfully. Saturn works with an information bank. The other day, we were compelled to do a study on spiritual warfare, not just spiritual warfare and. The broad strokes of warfare, but warfare. Within the context of witchcraft attacks. We are to assolate the peculiarity of witchcraft attacks and the warfare that is associated with it. And you see, the thing is that for most of us, not just on the African continent, because based on my experience now I and say the world over, I can say to you that the religion or the fallen man is witchcraft. So it doesn't matter whether you were born to a family that is in Ohio. There is some form of witchcraft within your contexts. So we designed it to zero in on this reality and to establish people with the knowledge that it. Will take to combat witchcraft. One of the things that I believe I was strongly led to discuss in that lecture was the fact that if you want to win a battle against a witchcraft front, you must learn how to staff the witches and the wizards of information Setain needs information because weapons that are that are coming against you have to be formed, they have to be manufactured, and some form of dimensions are needed for the manufacture of the weapons that Satan will use against you. Many times Satan is ill informed to fast track to facilitate and attack against you because his information bank has been staffed. So in a situation where Satan's information bank has been staffed, when he shows up, he's likely to come up with a question, just like he did when you came up in the Garden of Eden, and the question was what, yeah, libt best one? I'm stilling the best one? Now. The serpent was more sorbtle than any beast of the field what the Lord God had made, and he said, onto the woman ye had God said that you should not eat of every tree in the guarded. So this guy is stabbed of information. There's been a classified secretary, classified passage of information between God and Adam. Unfortunately Adam, we need to transmit the information to Eve. And he found that. The weak link in this secretary will be Eve because at least Adam will be his instructor. Is to not be God. So the instructions that God gave him about how to relate with the trees were given to him before Eve came into the picture. So he knew that there was gonna be a gap in the disc in the information information range is gonna there's gonna be a gap there. This guy was tabbed of information. So he came with a question. Certain shops for questions. It shops with questions. Sorry, it shops with questions? Did? God said? Because he doesn't know. And most of the time he creates circumstances that are manipulated because he wants to you to be the person that will help him with the information that he needs to make the weapons or to form the weapons with which we attack you. And that's why we need to label to be spiritual people. We need to label to be spiritual people. The reason is because in most cases, certain gets the information that he used to attack you from you, because he. Shops with questions. He's not omnipotent, he's not omniscient, he's not omnipresent, so he's disadvantaged. He's a creator being, and there are many secrets in God that were set in motion before Satan was created, before Lucifer, who eventually. Became Satan, was created. See, there's already a gap, and that's why the Bible is full of the miscalculations of the devil. How many of you in this place have ever been involved in a motor accident? Like me, I'm one of them. Yes, And I know that my friend Gideon, because there was a time he was wearing one white cap to preach. It was not fashion, it was the accident climbed to his head. So let's try again. How many of you have ever been involved in a motor accident? Wow, that's a number. And I like you to understand that Satan's intention was not to give. The vacuate dent. No, that was not the intention that your new cart, we're driving you just on the street, and then you'll look here here to know who is looking at the vehicle, and then there was a crash. It was not and you were you were angry because they that was no certain intentions. In fact, that is a manifestation of a miscalculation, meaning that there was a deficiency in the data that was received to form a weapon against you. Is not. An omniscient creature, but he needs information to attack you, to come against you, to find you, to distract you, and to defeat you. So he shops with questions. There are five common questions that Satan comes with in in Eve's case, can you see how you framed the question? Had God said when I when I started the scripture? What I see in this scripture is it's as if Satan had the visual but Cetain did not had the audio. You know when you watch a movie and you see the pictures but you don't get to hear the audio. That's that's the kind of thing I think took place here, because it's what as if God was telling Adam when he was teaching is Adam here this is a three pointed. Adam bad no audio. Okay, so that's what I see in my head. So Satan I said, it was difficult for him to design the communication. So he came up and said. And God said that you should not eat of every tree in the garden. He didn't know that there was a specific So Saturn is always on the broad strokes. Satan doesn't know the specifics. If Satan is going to get the specifics, he needs your health, he needs your partnership, he needs your wisdom. He needs to know what you know from God. I. Meanwhile, it's interesting to know that Satan doesn't have any discussion at all. If God had not spoken his discussions, they're not You're not for him. His discussions have built around discrediting God's discussion. So just in case God has not discussed, Satan has no discussion. But in his investigation, as he's shopping with questions, you will notice that his presentation is always. Broad stroke based, broad stroke based. When we go on, you will find out that temptation is broad stroke based. In the midst of this broad stroke based temptation, Satan will discover your peculiar lines. Of loss by trial and error. Because he doesn't know the specifics. If we look at this arrangement, we see that Saturn is so disadvantaged. So whenever set, whenever temptation catches, whenever temptations succeeds in heaven. They are surprised. Why because Saturan did not have enough information to pull that off. But see, what makes us victims of Satan schemes is our tendency to operate in the flesh. He his nature is what is trapped in the flesh, so he knows that nature more than you. It's a tendency to operate in the flesh. That is empowerment of Saturn. If we decide that we are not going to operate in the flesh, we're not going to function in the flesh. We have relieved Saturn of his ability. We have. Dispossessed certain of his ability to trick us. Are you still with me? He builds his discussion around God's discussion. I remember. When we're done with youth service and all of that, and I had fantastic promises from God about my future because I spent the whole of my youth service time first in praying first, in praying first, in praying first, all true so and the truth of the matter is that if if you are in alignment, and what I mean by that, what I mean by that is you don't have any bitterness in your heart. You don't have anything you are holding on to that will make God not to disclose this had to you. You are not practicing rebellion by being making a deliberate and perpetual practice of sin. It should be easy for you to know the will of God. If you begin to. Present to God, it should be easy. It should don't be a task. What makes it longer in most cases, not in all cases, anyway, What may make it longer is that they are strongholds. There are things that you're holding onto. There are things that are holding on to you that you have refused to dispose of. And when God sees all the things that is holding on that are holding on to you, he feels that if he amps you with the intelligence that you seek, your commitment to all of those strongholds is going to make it impossible for you to fulfill what it takes to enter into the level that in intelligence is inviting you into. So it becomes a struggle. First of all, is trying to take away those hindrances, and sometimes it can take a long time for God to convince you that you are moving the wrong direction. Have you realized that people in ministry, Maybe I'm close to doctor Joshua, and then when I have a challenge in our relationship and we partways for wanting not the other, and then ten years later, it is as if God. Is with doctor Joshua. The evidences that show that there's a favor on him, there something on his life. It is speaking, it is creating influence. I folove. And the way God is dealing with him, this is the way God is dealing with me, suggests that God is with him. Feel do you know that it's very difficult in ministry. It's very difficult for someone in my situation to go and apologize to him say, I don't know what, I don't know why I wei, but I have seen that the Lord is with you meanw my own believers in the Bible saw people and knew people that the Lord was with Even Pharaoh could discern, and he did not go to his oracle to consult. There was no breaking transmission in the He could discern the hand of God on Moses. It's not too difficult to discern the hand of God on people. But you will find out that Saturan has found a way to keep people in their desert when it becomes clear to them that the way God will day to take them out of the desert. From the beginning was that I should have something to do with Pastor Joshu. Satan is not that strong, but it goes around with hand coffs to tie you to strongholds that will keep you on the same spot. But I pray that God helps us in the name of Jesus Christ as I'm saying all these things. And I believe the reason why I made this example is because of people in this congregation. And people that are listening to me are not the sound of my voice. And there's a divinely orchestrated relationship that God has brought into your life. And the reason why God brought that relationship is so that you can escape a season of drought that is ahead of you. And because of. Your pride, you mismanage that relationship and all these symptoms of drought has caught up with you and you don't have the much needed humidity to say a Lord message, I'm going to even if you need to buy dark bones and go and dark spectacles. You know those types that you're using carry over classes, that's the type I'm talking about. You look for one in terminus. They are quite Just get one and put it on and trace yourself, trace your way. God has no plan before you. That's the way if you decide. Oh my ah. And many people have accepted to die in the wilderness than to so. For such a person, Satan has hand coffed him. I went to meet Uncle Toldia, and it was Toldia that said, we were only told how to bind Satan. We were not told that Satan buyings. And he showed me preachers that Satan had bound. And he knows the background story behind the bondage. And for all these stories, he told me, the chain with which they hand coff was manufactured is pride. I think we need to pray in the moment, just quietly, that God will deliver us from pride. Can we can we pray moment pride. That the Lord God Almighty. Would deliver us, who set us free from the bounds of pride, so that we can be lighted and foolish enough to accept God's wisdom that he had established ordained since the foundation of the world for our advancements for our good. Oh God, Oh God, we detrune the bountain of pride. So that we can receive help from you, so that we can receive grace from you in the name. Of Jesus Christ. Once upon a time where in our monthly meetings we call them contact contact meetings. We do them every month. So a certain minister will come for that meeting. Are you there, check into a hotel and be attending the meeting. Then at the end of the meeting, you will now come to me and say, the bill. Is so and so. Have you ever exprains such, doctor Joshua, I know you have not experienced that. Okay, okay, not next month is coming. In fact, in some of the cases, he arrives my city on the last letter of fuel. You know, when the car. Begins to produce red light that they said challenge, there's a scarcity of just in case you want to continue this journey, there's the prayers will be made upon the manifestation of this red light, so that the vehicle will at least arrive my city. If you're not careful, everything about that arrangement is wrong. But you if you are not careful, you will not know that Satan is asking a question. Let me stop. You know, I wanted to give you five types of questions that certain asks in order for him to guard that information, to equip his data bank, in order for him to be able to make a weapon that is formed against We were the ones that claimed, we're the ones that prophesied that God has given us a calling, a calling that will attract men from all over the world and they will come and camp in our city. We're the ones that professed like that. Okay, okay, And now there's one, just one. Even though everything about the person's way of going about it is wrong, because it's possible for you to call us, I say we're coming, and we don't have and then we know we're expecting you. But that aspects, so forget about the person is wrong. That's what I learned in working with God. You'll be right. So for all the times, and these comings was for four years. My witnesses are in the congregation, at least some of them are already understanding what I'm talking about. This comings were for four years, and there sometimes in pastor's meeting the issue would be raised. It is matter. Because it seems to me like a test because it's not reasonable. A human beings did not behave like that. But we're already in this situation. How do we analyze it? Do you know how to analyze the situation and see from God's side? Oh my, that's the technical aspect of this teaching. I came to give you new eyes, a new lenses. Ten later, you know, that thing continued for four years. Then in an addition, now six years, we now started having international delegates come for our meetings. So that was our own outcome, the real thing that that situation was preparing us for, because we were seeing with God's eyes and God's lenses, we end had into it six years later. Are you following? Then the guy that was the object of this. Challenge, in the six years that we were entering into the thing that God uses misbehavior to prepare us for, you're not for him. In that six years, he evolved a new teaching, a strange doctrine, and he began to teach it. And we called him sat like this in a conclive to discuss this new revelation that he had contacted. And he couldn't defend the revelation. I bullied my friend. He was in that conclict. Let us discuss this. We've heard you teaching some let's discuse this matter. He became angry and caught off from us. So in the six years that his misbehavior prepared us six years later, he's four years of misbehavior prepared us for our own destiny six years later. And while we were entering into the destiny that his misbehavior prepared us for, he himself founded a first doctrine. So he was going down because what he was doing was wrong. What he was doing was wrong, but how we interpreted it was not with a flesh. We entered into our destiny. That is, misbehavior prepared us. We enlarge our capacity to accommodate all kinds of stuff, and that capacity was needed for us to host people from different cultures all over the world. So by the time people started coming and our now prepared food and spiced it with alligator pepper, the food was shining, that is, and then people ate it and they couldn't eat it. Some of them were coffee because they don't know what pepper is. So when we made those mystics, we. Knew how to adjust because we've been in a situation. Oh man. We enlarged because the way we saw the situation. We didn't see it from the flesh. The natural reaction would have been to attend to that situation from the flesh. If you don't have money, don't come again. But if that is your reaction, God will not look at you. I say this man. If I bring people. Weary people from the ends of the head, he doesn't have the capacity to be the nurse that is needed to bind their w There is a lens that you need to analyze things from so that you will not be a victim. Set time. We use people to activate flesh response from you? Can you can you contain that kind of misbehavior for four years? Four years, twelve months, four years? That's how many times? Help me with the calculations. Please, What for the eight forty eight times? Forty eight times of that misbehavior was what it took to develop the capacity to host the nations. It depends on how you see. Satan wants you to respond in the flesh because it wants to enthrone a damn ad Damn is the personality that is money fested. When we yield to the flesh, did God say, even in our house now in America, there's a. Room anyone can pass by. We lend that lesson in our practice of ministry? Did God say he wants to gather information that will equip him to attack you all, lawyer? And the woman said, onto the serpent, we may eat of the tree the foot of the trees of the garden. But of the foot of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God had said, ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it. Lets you die. I told you before Setan knew that it was Adam that brought education of what God told him to Eve, and he was expecting some form of inaccuracy so that they can leave rage or need to sell his deception. And when you see these three critically, you would see that there was an addition in the presentation that Eve gave, because if in her delivery she said, God also said that she not touched the tree. So those are the scriptures that make me I imagine, I imagine the guarding of it, because I had an imagination about the scripture, and my imagination was this Eve was sweeping close to the tree, and then she a stone was like she now stepped on, and she fell and touched the tree, and she did not die, so that one happened many moments before thanking. You're not following me. You see, sometimes when I start the scriptures, especially playing scriptures that tell stories, I want to transport to where that event took place. I want the only is to freeze out all the characters. Then I will come and I want to go there. And there's a preacher that opened that dimension of transport by imagination. It puned it to me. That's a preacher. I listened to that preacher preach. And when I listen to preacher's preach, I'm not necessarily hearing what they're saying. I'm trying to find the technology that how do they see this scripture that gives them this outcome? Only only the elders know what. I'm talking about. That's how you're going to improve your teaching. You must hack into that person's system and know the eyes by which the person sees the scripture. That's the only way you can teach like the person, at least teach by the person's die. If storm pulled on the tree and she didn't die, so she now doubted the first aspect of the presentation too, that if I didn't die, and God said we should not touch it. I touch it, I didn't die. It means that even if I ate it, I will not die. But that happened like three months before Satan came to was processing it in her heart, and then Satan now say. You know. You will not surely die, and she she connected with him because she has also presumed that it is so, seeing that she touched the tree and she did not die. Listen to me, if God said don't touch mhm, don't touch, you gotta said don't eat, don't even build business around the thing. That God has set a disclaimer over. Are you there people who call you. A Jew that you are trying to self righteous? No, there's a terminology one of our friends used against me, say self righteous. I think so. I think one of our friends self right. Uh. The colleges of names. If they don't call your names, it means there's something wrong with Meanwhile, you need to be insecure for you to want the people's opinion to furnish your conviction. It means you're an insecure person. You're not actually in the service of Jesus. This whole generation of seven billion people, they can have a view that is different from my own. It won't change my conviction. I am not. Are you there afraid or ashamed to be on the side that it's unpopular if I know that I'm in accuracy with God. Cetin said, shall not surely die? Are you seeing in subtilty? And then it looked like a confirmation in its art. I thought, that was what I was thinking for the past three months. And if she was thinking nothing for the past three months, she must have discussed if that man Adams said no, no, no, that's not you know, And there maybe there were arguments that were like that, because I noticed that when she ate of it, sat and said, what confirmed her position? And she ate of it and gave the man. The man did not resist because there was an argument about that. This one, I'm telling you is what I traveled dead, when I traveled to hidden, when I traveled to Eden. This is what I saw. That's what I'm telling. You and your many scriptures that I've traveled into. The man did not contend, because they have talked about it. He had a different view, and Satan that was not there now came with something that sounded like a compromish. Bigally they moment you enter into the flesh, you will find compatibility with the enemy, and the things that Satan are saying will be accurate with the position of your flesh. Any time you find compatibility with Setur and you're in the flesh. Then finally, in verse six, which is my emphasis, and when the woman saw, because the Bible says that Jesus was tempted at all points, she saw that the three it was good for food, so lost of the eyes, and that it was pleasant, No, was good for food, loss of the flesh, It was pleasant to the eyes lost of the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise pride of life. Points if we go to the temptation of Jesus, you are going to say the same points. If that would be the Son of God turned these stones and make them. Bread, lost of the flesh because he was an hungerd. Andelujah, something like a questionaier that was administered. In this questionnaire that was administered, I don't know how large the sample space was. I don't know how large the people that filled out the firm was. But this was the question, your last temptation. How did they come about? And they only gave men the question, are. Are you with me? Surprisingly, of the slips. That came back was tied to loss of the eyes. So the people. Conducting the research now said they came up with a postulation that a man that does not fall because of the teens he sees. Will not fall again. Man. This matter of eyes, according to the research, is a man matter man. Man. And some of the men that feeled that questionnaire, they were actually fast when they saw they. Think that became they are'n dooing. I just added that it's a quiet it's not part of the lectures. Just say it's a quiet presentation, so that we can pound that deeper. So I need to ask all the men what did you see? What have you seen? And that's the question you need to ask yourself every day, Bernard. You speak to yourself as say, Bernard, what did you see today? Because sixty of your troubles will come through lost of their eyes. It is a point of temptation, but that point prospers more with men. Packed my question yesterday why was it necessary for Jesus to be tempted? In our definition of temptation, we said that there was an element of the temptation called lost is a desire that has gone overboard. And when Setan noticed that you have sustained the desire that has gone overboard, he comes to entice you along the lines of that desire. Are you there? I hope we know that Jesus was a perfect man. That means he was a man. That was saturated by God. Follow me, No, he was a man that was what saturated. Because he was saturated with God and saturated by God, infused with God, infused by God, all of his desires were bridled. And so in Jesus he never exercised a lost. So if Jesus never exercised a lost, why was it still necessary for Jesus to be Oh, you're not for my dear this question. He never exercised a lost, never had one. He was a perfect man. He was filled with God. He was infused with God. Everything he said as an answer, as a response, as an opinion, as a strategy, it was God that was on display. And that's why in the in the Book of Hebrews, chapter one, he was called the brightness of the glory of God. He was called the express image of God's presence because God was fully adequately to the fullest extent, God was displayed in his every day, this perfect man, he was laid by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the death. It means that. Based on spirit agender, the temptation was the next point on the agenda, go and be tempted. That was what it was. So someone happened quickly. Wh when a perfect man need to be tempted? There are two reasons. I hope you know you are imperfect. Jesus was perfect. I know, Bernard, maybe he's his perception of himself is that's a perfect man, but that may not be very accurate. It was Jesus that was perfect, and that's why he's an example to us for everything that pertained to life and to godliness because he was effect This response was what God would have said, God the Father would have said, the way if you were fiscally present. His approach, his strategy, his style, his option, his choice. Was perfect. So he's a perfect example for us. So we need to know why Jesus was tempted, and we need to know why you, that you are imperfect, will be tempted because we saw yesterday that temptation is a when. Means it will come. Is it the same reason for when Jesus was tempted that you are going to be tempted number one, Matthew, Chapter twelve, ver twenty nine. Please give me on the screen so that I don't do was time Matthew twelfth, twenty nine. Okay, give me twenty eight. First, But if I cast out devils by the spirit of God, then the Kingdom of. God is come unto you. Now Jesus at this point was accused that he. Was casting our devils by bells above. Then he now told them that the house that is divided against itself shall not stand the house in conflict with itself, because he considered the devanced ministry to be an open conflict between kingdoms. And if it's the same kingdom that can entertain this level of conflict, it means that that kingdom cannot stand. That was his argument. But if by any means I cast devils but the finger of God, then is an indication of the fact that the Kingdom of God is come to you. What does it mean by that? It means that there is another kingdom that now has authority superior to the authority of the devil, and the Deliverance ministry is an evidence of the presence of that kingdom that has superior authority to the kingdom of darkness. When you see that authority exercise, it is because the Kingdom of God is present and is active and is functional among you. Having made this statement, he now makes a statement in verse twenty nine, which I need to draw our attention to. Or else. Who can enter in true strong man's house and spoil his goods except he first bind the strong man, then he would spoil his house. Who were all victim slaves under the hands of darkness. And Jesus was determined to free us from the grip of the depth, and so they had to be a contest. They had to be about a battle, a confrontation. Now that he was filled with the Holy Spirit, he was galvanized with all spiritual capacity. The next thing to do was that he needs to stand before set up and the outcome of that conflict. Who set the piece for a victory soon to be secured at Calvary. So there was no way he could miss this contest. Hallelujah. So the strong man must be bound. If you're noticed after that battle, I think it's in the Book of Look chapter four, verse fourteen. You will now see the publicity strategy of the ministry of Jesus. The momentic came back from that battle having defeated the devil, you will notice that there was an amplification of his ministry. The fame of his anointing spread abroad. So if you succeed in defeating the devil when he comes with his schemes of temptation, what you have done. Is that you have gained extra rank. So as Tony is hiding him and accorded, they set time with small good a temptation to him, and Jehovah will allow him give him express access. Jehovah believes that what he has done in the life of Pastor Tony should give him the capacity to overcome that temptation, so that he can have cheap access to the next level of spiritual authority in the line of his destiny. God will not use a stone that he has not tried. Someone was telling me that his desires that he wants to. Go to a cave. He wants to leave civilization and retreat into a cave. For many years. And I told him that when you come out after twenty years, you'll be on fit. You'll still be very, very unfit because you are not where Satan can tempt you. Your muscles will not, your spirit will be anointed, but your rank wouldn't have changed considerably. When you come out of the cave, Setan will accumulate all your tests, and it is the outcome of your testing that we result in your ranking. So close the door of the cave, your temptations are structured within your location, and your statoos will be determined by the outcome. And I'm not presenting a case against short retreats and all of that. The reason why you're going for the retreat is so that God can fill you up and throw you back into the crisis. You want to leave the crisis. You want to leave the fight. You want to go farther away from trouble. But I tell you that it's in the fullness of trouble that God raises champions forges amistriss of his kingdom. You're looking for soft landings, You're looking for easy paths. You're looking for highways that luck without danger. Ah, except you and a strong man, you cannot spoil his goods. Ali Lawyer number two. There are three very long scriptures we are supposed to read for number two, and we already have forty minutes, so I will just explain and then I will show us two reasons why you are going to be tempted. There are two things God. Has in mind for which he allows you to undergo temptation, and he doesn't insulate you from it. In fact, in most cases, he can even advertise you before setup and accertain whether he has. A case with you. Alle lawyer, you would remember that the moment. Adam was tested, was tempted by the enemy. What resulted was that his authority passed to Sittu. The idea is this, if you still remember the as a lecture I did on spiritual laws, I think law number three was a law of servitude that says to whosoever you yield yourself as a servant to obey the servant of him, you shall become to him that you obey is a love of servitude. Anyone you serve, he becomes your master. If you serve fornication, the spirit behind funication becomes your master. You cannot deny him his will. When he insists that you have a service to perform, you become a victim. You become a slave. So if you don't want to become a servant to a setain spirit. Don't serve that spirit. So Adam did not know this, and Adam obeyed the devil. Meanwhile, God had an. Opportunity to adjucate Adam on what to do and what not to do. Set And had an opportunity to educate Adam on what to do and what not to do. So the question was balanced. Everybody came with his own manifesto to. M veil their ways. At the end of the day, Adam found more compatibility with the devil's manifesto because he his lens. Was the flesh. So he became a slave of Satin. And the authority that Adam was supposed to wield became an authority that was available to set and to wield. As you can see in the Book of Luke, chapter four, verse five and six, a dyamic authority was handed out to Saturn, and the devil taken him up into a high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world. In a moment of time these six and. The devil said, unto him, all this power I would give thee and the glory of them for that it for that is delivered onto me. For that is delivered onto me. It was delivered onto me. I am in possession of it right now. So his authority passed on to Saturn, and Satan began to operate a damic authority. So everything that you see set I'm doing is within the dymic scope of authority. Oh, I don't have time. Have you ever had that title by which Satan is called the prince of the power of the air. What's the meaning of that? The spirit that work at and the children of disobedience? Ah okay, maybe not today. Maybe in another boot camp will take time and explain adamic power. Then we can explain to us the context of the new creation. Everything he wills is adamic power. So if you see which is, which is can move from one place to afflict people in another location. Adamic power. An entity that has a spirit like you. I hope you know you have this. An entity that has a spirit like you cannot have a problem with distance and time. It is that you have not unlocked our full potential. Saturn operates adamic power, and witches can fly from your village and trace you in America on adamic power. Saturn operates adamic power, and it can bring someone into poverty that was destined to be weld adamic power. I think we need to have a rethink on the potential that God was bestown upon man, and Satan said, it was handed over to me. So it was with adamic power that Satan came to confront Jesus in the wilderness. If I take you on the journey in scriptures, which is what I don't want to do, but I can give you the scriptures so that you. Can go read it. Romance of the five verse twelve to seventeen, First Corinthians, Chapter fifteen, verse forty five. Please, in your. Quiet time, find occasion to read new scriptures. Then you will see the geological argument that a possible makes, how that because of one man that's seen Adam that scene, all of us became sinners. It means that you're there. It means first of all, that Adam is the federal head of the following humanity. And because it's the federal head of the following humanity, his choices, his decisions, his transactions will influence every human that is under that federal head. You get it, if by any means are you with me, Kin and Abel and the rest of them, were already on ground. Are you following me? They were already present when Adam sinned. Those ones who have been spared from that scene because they are no longer in his lawins. But unfortunately Adam seen when all of humanity were still in his lawyers. So he as feder head, his errors were their erros. In the same way Jesus his obedience. Are you there? Because his federal head of our own race, Oh, they're not follow. His obedience is imputed to. You the moment you believe in him, because his obedience is supposed to. Cover for you. Are you there? You did not go to the cross to die, but he went to the cross to die in obedience, and that has a consequence that has influenced you now. Because he's a federal head. I was supposed to explain this federal head this matter more deeply. But there's something I want us to do. For twenty minutes, and he started two minutes them. So Jesus had to stand before a damn. I called him a damn because it was ademic power that Satan came to confront Jesus in the wilderness. And until Satan makes Jesus to do the same things that a damn deed that made him fall. Satan cannot win this new federal ahead. So he came with the same points of temptation. If that would be the son of God. To this tone into bread. Now, this is what he was saying. You're hungry, you need food, even though I know that your father is not sensitive enough about your condition to tell you how food will come to you. But I have an idea. I don't know if you're a disn of God. I've been hearing that there's something like God, but I'm not sure if it's However, if it is true to your dishn of God, they must have been statutory authority that is assigned to your office, and you can operate a part from your father apart from God, and use that authority to meet your needs. The first thing he was selling. To Jesus was a possibility of him to operate apart from his father, because he needs to make Jesus make the same mistakes of a damn. That is why are you there now, That's the idea behind the points of temptation. He wants you to uppread a part from God. He wants you to decide to function a part from him. I'm just letting the foundation. In my next session, I'm going to show you the reason why I began this teaching is because of three matters. Let me mention the three matters, No, hunger and taste for the water God. There are three matters. There are three matters. So in our next in our next session where I will start day matter, Saturan wants you to make the same mistake I damn me. Operate a path from God. And I'm going to build this issue of operating apart from God. When we mentioned the first principle, the first principle behind the first temptation, there are three principles. That's Saturn, that is the operating system. The foundation of the three temptations is based on three principles, and we're going to put it in place so that you will see when when those principles are in line, you can judge your life every day. You have the lenses and the eyes to see, to perceive, to understand, to know when to stand, to know when to sit, to know when to walk away, and to know when to ron Korea Silima operating a path from God. That is the creation that sat And wants you to be a being that can walk a path from God. And that's why Jesus' response was, I was there when the vision about man was conceived. I was in that council, the Council of God, when the agenda was let us make man. So I know the man we wanted to make. That man was not designed to live by Brady Loom, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. And in that context, he considered himself a man. So man was not designed to leave a path from God to take decisions that will take him apart from God. The only thing that should motivate man to take an action. Is the proceeding word of God. And that matter of the proceeding word of God. We look at it when we start those three principles. It's a deep path. I was looking at it today in scripture. I had to give time for meditation because what the scriptures were saying was too difficult for my mind to comprehend. A path from God, A part from God. He wants you to read apart from it brought us started the ministry. How did he start? It was his wife that encouraged him to start. This is not me thinking, it's him that came. I was telling me why some of our plans that we had to get that won't work again because his wife. His wife. You know, wives are blessings, there, support systems, wonderful companions, and we know that if we go out there and people insult us, there's one person that will not insulting. I don't need to preach someone. Before she's interested in me, because before her eyes, I'm always a champion. I know the position of wives. However, a wife doesn't have the authority to send you into ministry. But this pastor was telling me that his plans change it properly because his wife and I have no trouble with wives. I have no trouble. I'm just telling a story. Man. Man, Man is. A special creature, and in our design for man, the vision we had was a creature that would respond to the proceeding world of God. He comel, that's the. Proceeding word of God is the only propeller that can set us in motion. My hunger doesn't have enough authority to set me motion. I know you picked it right. I'm hungry, but that's not enough reason to act. Satan must have been really, really center back, because he actually believed that. That stroke. That trow always walks because he has dealt with all men for thousands of years, and any time he brings that stroke, it's like a joker. You can use that to knock any man down. But here was a man that's his flesh was not enough reason for him to set out emotion. He had a government over his life, and that government will determine what he does, what he says, what he does not do. And Satan was meeting a kind of man he had never met before. This one has a king over him, he has government over him. His hunger has not risen to the point of having the capacity to control him and to command an action, to command a response. Man shall not leave by prayer, helone, Oh my God, this it remainies. I want us to try to do the experiment as you rise. As you rise on your feet today, remember every time Satur orchestrated the situation and made you to make a statement when the Lord had not spoken. He made you to respond when Jehovah had not quickened the deal. He made you to fight when it was not Jehovah's was. Man shall not leave by bread alone, but. By every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. We're gonna pray. Remember that time you moved. It was just you and your wife and you you frowned your face and you were like that for three days, just to prove a point. Ah, you acted a Lord. God was not in it. He was not in support. Can we ask that the Lord will win us. We us of the ways of the flesh, the wisdom that is behind the ways of the flesh. Can he wei us out of it? So that you can be a depiction of the. Exact portrait that God had in mind when he conceived his dream about man. A creature that will not act independent of him, a creature that will not speak when God has not spoken. A creature that is supposed to be a theater through which God can manifest his schemes. A creature that is a platform for God to speak, for God to act, for God to do his deeds, for God to fulfill his place of Manzorently. Hi, yeah, ay. I want to be bound with him like hand and glove and extension of himself. I want to be his sword that he will pull out when he wants to strike in the face of the battle. I want to be his instrument. Manchin on leave by brad a law h I want to sign with his glory. I want to be the vice that he will use. To speak to my generation. Do says the law. For mans are not leave my prayer alone. He will leave by the every word that comes from the mouth of his governor. He's a creature of obedience. His full potential will be manifested. When he leans the wall of obedience. For Adam modeled the example of rebellion, but. Jesus modeled the example of obedience. Man shall not leave my brain alone. I want to be a next tension of your hand. I want to be the sword that you will wield in the dear. Battle when you fight for territoriests, when you fight for naissance, when you fight for lands and tribes. I want to be that soldier in your quiver that you will unleash, fearless, a weapon of grace, fully governized with the strength that is in. The Holy spirit. Men sah not leave by prayer alone. Eli copiele Suvilanbokombaski, la furiabisvo Vita Bucodola and Pulasco Babelli Atobocca Mancelli. There are many territoriests that I need of men. The population is in the hundreds of millions, But there is no man. Because the man that God call conceived is one that does not leave my bread alone, one that functions according to the proceeding word of God, makes sense in desperate condition and calld this in his such I sought for a man. I sought for a weapon. I sought for a deliverer, one that cannot be deceived for the devil, one that will not act until I speak. He leaves just for me and for me alone. The devil cannot borrow him, Circumstances cannot bend him. He is set in his ways. He will only hear my commands. He will only do my will. He yes strengthened by my power. Man, Man, Man, And even today he looks for that man. Man, what pesci what pepper mankoo ruskitopibatala. If you can't find that man, no matter how that the territory might be, he becomes his weapon. He becomes his strong man, He becomes his extension. He becomes the reason why there will be reching within that line. I leave for you.

There is a space there, Please move the brother or their sister to that area for adequate expression ventilation, were not against ventilation. Listen, Jesus said, h no. Satan said, yeah. It was delivered onto me adamic power, adamic authority. It is with adamic authority. He became the prince of the power of the air. It means that the jurisdiction of a. Damns what is wrong today. There will be no administration from my own daughter until Sunday morning, because I want us to understand. Where we are. By adamic power, he was able to her nest. The power of the air. And I don't have time to take you to the book of Job and showed you to show you how some of Job's children died. According to them, it was the wind that came and destroyed the attempt. All of that is adamic power. The ability to start the potential of the wind and to write on it like a child is adamic power. Is adamic power. That which is are using to for transports adamic power. And sat And came to confront Jesus in the wilderness with adamic power. All those things you say, which is do adamic power. And that's why the visits that God brought to Adam in the garden in the cool of the day were educational visits was for education, so that he can know how to take full advantage of this scope of his potential. And one day God came with blackboard and chalk and could not find his students because he had he had another teacher. H At the moment Saturn was able to get the position of that teacher. Of man, he taught him about nakedness. Nakedness? Why was it that the first lecture, certain thought Adam was on the subject of nakedness? Oh h mm hmm. On the subject of nakedness, he said, who told you that? It means you have a new teacher? Satan seized the place of instruction quickly and introduced terminologies that that was not found. In the ecosystem of life, of the divine life, even in witchcraft. You today they are there's a lamblorate education. People being taken to. Govenors every night for education from the age of five age of seven because Satan. Satan invests so much in education. So my question is, why was the first lecture that Saturn took why was it on the subject of nakedness? He was trying to recolonize man to accept a new reality. That reality that resulted after his powers were transferred for him to be at home with it. That is who you are in naked pin Yah naked. H h. So the police came to arrest the pastor and they waited for him to mount the puppets before they arrest. There were various points. You would have been arrested in the office. Hmm. But Satan wants you to be acquainted with your new reality. M So you have to be arrested from the puppets in order to show that you are naked. H h. He wants you naked, He wants you with a cover, he wants you vulner him. He wants you exposed, and he wants you to. Accept the fact that you are exposed. Kest sleeping with his church members, sleeping with his church members. He didn't know that one of them he slept with was under sixteen. So that's no longer. That's another matter. Those of you that know law, no, because the idea is to make you naked. You claim you are called, you claim you are anointed. But the way I want you to be is way nick. The moment God interacted with them again, God now had to make garments because God is against nakedness. Before we sign off today. Make pray, I say Lord, may I never be naked.
