PREVAILING BY DIVINE PRESENCE

The presence of God is one of the many spiritual resources that has been made available for our victory. We're in a world that is. Under great contention from the realms of the spirit. The visible realm is the last created realm of Divinity. Before the Act was created, the spirit realm and the heaven had been created. Spiritual entities had also been created. In fact, there was already a well established government in the spirit, a government ruled by God long spiritual entities that He had designated different levels of rankings and authorities. So you have what the Bible called thrones. To study Revelationship the four. You find the Bible speak of twenty four thrones upon which sat twenty four elders. And then there were other princes called dominions. There were princes, or they are princes God principalities. They are princes called powers. These are entities of honor in the realms of the spirit, functioning within the context of divine government. And then there are angels that run errands in the spirit realm. So this system was already well defined. In fact, some of those entities were already designated territories in the spirits. Where they ruled over. There were princes that had authority to exercise governance legislation over different territories before man was created. You study Isaiah fourteen from West fwelve to fourteen. The Bible speaks of a prince God, Lucifer, the son of the Morning. If you go down to Wesse seventeen, the Bible called him him that weakened the nations, and they said the princes looked upon him and they were surprised. So they are princes in that realm. There are authorities that are dominions. In fact, in my study of scripture, one of the many reasons why God created man, and I've told you here before God created. Us for the purpose of intimacy. The Bible said in the Eatonometer two verse nine, he said the lost portion is his people. He said, Israel is my inheritance. They lost portion. He created us for intimacy, and that intimacy is to help us gain experiential. Knowledge of Him. And on the strength of that intimacy we can produce divine possibilities. Number Two, I've taught you here that God created us so we could worship him. Isaiah forty three twenty one. He said, these people have I created to show forth my praise. God is seeking through worship us to worship in spirit and in truth. John fourteen, twenty three and twenty four. I've also taught you that God created us to allow us experience and participate in kingdom advancement. Matthew sixteen, Thy Kingdom Come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. So there are many things for which were created. But one of the most cardinal amongst them in my study of scripture is the understanding of the fact that there was an agenda God had when it created this the. Test it that was about to. Be truncated, because in Genesis one verst one is that in the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. So the earth was created after the heavens at the beginning. Then there was chaos because judgment came upon the earth, the Bible said, and the heath was void, and darkness was upon the face of the deep. So the first act that God created was destroyed. Darkness. The word used in that scripture is the word who is emptiness, nothingness, desolation, and chios. That was the situation of the earth. And then God returned and recreated. The face of the earth. That's why you never read. Were light was created from, were darkness was created from, Were water was created from. We are the earth was created from. These things were already created. God only came to restore order, so he separated them. He caught the light out of the darkness. He separated the drygrown from the waters. He called the animals to appear from the earth, and everything that went into chaos. God reordered to have this second face of the earth for this time around. There was no governor to rule. Over this earth because the way God designed the realm, there are princes that he allocated territories to to rule on his behalf. But the first prince that was over the earth was not satisfied. He said, I will exhort my trun I will ascend to the sides of the north and be like the Mosshah. He was giving a territory a jurisdiction for governance, but that was not enough. He wanted to enter the counsel of the god Head, and the Bible considered it to be high treason. And on account of that he was cast from Eden. Does it not show you that there was an Eden before the Eden? You know? And when he was cast out of God's presence. The Bible told us God had to reconstruct the earth and establish a new governor. It was on this strength of that that the creation of man became necessary. So God created those to take on the assignment of representing him in this universe, the assignment of exercising his invincible government on the face of the earth, because that was what the prince that was cast. Out was doing before. And this is why the moment God. Created them, the assignment was priesthood and kinshit trust the guardian, keep it. Trust the Guardian. It's not go about cotting glasses. Trust the Guardian means establish order in the visible realm exactly as it is in heaven. You will not understand that, or the way Moses was to build the Toabancacle. It's a build according to the pattern that was refit to you on the mount. So the way you dress the Guardian. Is to ensure that everything happening in this context is in alignment with the heaven, and that assignment is priesthood. And then keep the guardian. Means exercise my authority or by your jurisdiction. Don't let any foreign government come here to introduce another policy. To introduce another will, to introduce another wisdom. The man didn't understand, and through to it. The serpent came with subtilty. Did God say? Did God say? And he repelled against God because he didn't know that there is a kingdom assignment that requires a king priest. To carry out. You have to be connected to God to exercise it, and you have to exercise God's authority to keep the territory. He didn't know that he was deceived into rebellion, and they had fell again. Or they know not neither we they understand. They walk on in darkness some eighty two, five and six. I have said we are God, because you are the children of the Most High. He said, But you're way far like one of the princes. And because of that, he said, they've foundation of the act is out of course. So the mosquito suddenly began to develop appetite. For Lord. Re lie on that you eat grass, developed appetite for flesh. Suddenly seasons were past, the blueprint of creation had been ordered. A man himself had fallen from glory. So Jesus came on a unique errand to restore man back to his dominion. But now that man has been restored to dominion. He will not just have the life of Christ, but he must also understand the divine ufensies and equipping to be able to exercize dominion, because it was created to connect to God and to control the realm. Praise do this connectivity dominion is other. For him to do that, he need divine utensis. And there are many of sorts that God gave us. The world is one of them. The name of Jesus is another, the blood of Jesus is another. Many weapons, trustness is another. But of all of this there is one that. Is not just a weapon you receive from God to use. There is one that is God himself coming into the scene, and that weapon is what we call the presence of God. You can use the name. Of Jesus because you have revelation and threaten him. You can use the Word of God because He sent it into your spirit as a rama. But for you to walk in the presence, God himself has to be around. This is why one of the most potent instruments for dominion in this realm is the instrument of Divine presence. And every believer who will have consistently is strategic advantage over the enemy all that circumstances, and in addition exercise dominion. Must master how to harness and to walk in the presence of God. It is our inheritance, but there is a protocol of hard nessing and working in it. I want to show you tonight how to harness God's presence and how to deploy it as an. Instrument of prevailing. And then I will show you also benefits of the presence. Because our time is first spent, I won't dwell too much on my points, but you write them down, take them home, pray over them, and you will see the wealth of revelation that the Holy Gools will bring into your spirit. But very quickly, let me shure us what God's presence is and the three basic degrees of the operation of the presence of God. When we speak of God's we are talking about his manifest he manifest expression in the likeness of his character, power and glory, which is perceived spiritually yet tangibly. The manifest expression of God in the likeness of his character, his power, and his glory perceived spiritually yet tangible. When he becomes tangible, then he can become an instrument of war. And an advantage. Because there are. Three basic degrees of the manifestation of God's presence, only one is tangible. The first one is what we call omni presence. God is everywhere, at every time, and in every time. Anywhere God's presence departs from ceases to be part of existence. What animates and substantiates existence is not heir. What and inmates and substantiates existence is the life force of God. And so anywhere that the life. Force of God deplays, will die and speer her into naughtedness. Because creation is actually like a container that God wars. That's why the Bible said. In Him, we live in him, we move in him, we have our being. The Bible is said in Romance one nineteen twenty. He said, the invincible attributes of God, even he se turn of power and god Head is made manifest by the elements of creation. So there is a dimension of God. We got only presents. You have left yesterday. You are in today, trusting God to enter tomorrow. God is stealing yesterday. He's already in today and is already in tomorrow. If God lives yesterday the way you and I left yesterday, we crash and if Yesterday is removed from existence, the execute of existence, we crash. That's why he's called alpha Omega. It's not beginning and end, No, it's actually beginning end. What it means is that he is presently at the end and presently in the beginning. He never moves out of any realm. That's what it. Means for God to be in every time. So he's not just. At every time, he is in every time. He's in yesterday, he's in tomorrow, and he's already today. It's God, the omni present dimension of God. It is just the essence of God that keeps existence in place. But you see, God is only present, but that may. Not affect your individual life. You must understand that this omni present God must be made tangible in your personal life. It's just like anywhere you are on it. You are in the envelope of air. But if air does not enter you and come out, you will die. So there must be a mechanism that makes you touch tangibly the o many present presence of God. But understand this prest that God is only present. Look at the way the Bible puts it. Some one at the ninth verse seven to ten, we are projected. Wether shall I go from Thy spirit? Wether shall I flee from Thy presence? Where can I go next? Us? If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there. If I make my bed in hell, behold thou art there even in hell. Because nothing exits outside of God. He speaks of the or many presence of God. He is everywhere, at every time, in every time. In some I'm twenty four twenty three, in some twenty three twenty four, he said he feels the heaven and the earth. He feels it, he saturates it. But that's not all there is about God's presence. This one speaks of his authority and dominion. But it may not profit you much. For God's presence. To profit you, you. Must step into and not that degree of his presence, And the second degree of God's presence is what we call the induelling presence. In First Corinthians three sixteen, the Bible makes us understand clearly, no year not, that you are the temple of God, and that His spirit to els in you. Now God is only present, but. Not everybody on it is necessarily blessed by God in his specific manner. In fact, not everybody on it. We benefit from the death Verian resurrection of Jesus, because for you to do that, you have to believe in God, then God and tap into you by the Holy Spirit. That's what brings eternal life into you. So a man must have the. Induelling presence of God as the second degree of God's blessing or presence to begin to draw from God's blessing. The difference between you and the unbeliever is that God lives in you. The Bible says Christ in you is the hope of glory Colossians one. Christ in you there is you are sure that at the end of time you will not end like every other person. That there's glory awaitin. You is because of the indwelling presence. That's what makes you a child of God. That's what gives you an inheritance in the kingdom. But again that is an insurance. Is still not enough your need yet and not that degree of God's presence. And that's what we call the manifest presence of God. Do you know that before we came here, God was indistent? Do you know God can be indistant? And they conganize a party here and sing what the song and do all kinds of iniquity. But when we came here through the waship, through the prayer, what did we do? We met Tangibu, the only present to become the chakaina, the manifest presence. People could now pouch, people could now interact with it. So every believer who will prevail by the presence was master how to harness God's presence until it becomes tangible. Exodos thirty three, verse fourteen to fifteen. My presence we go. With you, you already everywhere. He was talking about the tangible presence of God. And you read exa does pirteen twenty one. When they left Egypt, he went with them as a pillar of fire by night and as a pillar of cloud by day. He is everywhere. But for Israel it was a chakaino. He was recovering. He was tangible. This is why. You'll see all the. Massive things that were done in the wilderness, because he was tangible. When Belam was called to cause Israel, he said, there's no enchantment against Jacob, there's no definition against Israel. Why they shout of the kings in their midst there was something tangible happening there. Every believer has the omni present. Everybody on it has the omnipresent. So long as it's. Working in time, every believer has the indwelling presence. Otherwise they could not have been a believer. The Bible says, you do not have the spirit of Christ in you. There you are none of His. So it takes God into living in you to be his. But not every believer have the manifest presence. Only the believer who carries the manifest presence can. Use the presence as a weapon. This is why, in addition to the indwelling presence, you most master the act of harnessing the presence make him tangible in your life. And so tonight, before I show you how to harness God's presence, let me give you a few blessings of walking in the manifest presence business where believers are separated into kids, same price was paid for all of us. We were all bought with the blood of Gee. God is not a respect of presence. He respects all of us equally. God is not biased. He lost all of us equally, gives all of us opportunities. But how much of it where we make the most off, depends on what we do about these things. For those who carry God's manifest presence. There are pocons that are indicators. There are advantages they enjoy that is exclusive to them. You may envy them, you can't change it, and desire alone can't bring it. There is a protocol that you must subject yourself to. Now quickly, what are the benefits of sustaining the tangible presence of God? But one define direction. A man who has the tangible presence of God is never confused. This is why you look at some people's life. There's so much precision. The entire business uninvested that period they entered, that's where there was a boom, and the moment they pulled out, it crushed. And you wanted how did you know when to buy? And said, this thing is beyond buying and selling. There is a. Spiritual whisper that makes the difference. Script to a quarter for you a moment to go. In Exodus starteen twenty one, why was the pill out fire there? Why was the pillar of cloud there? Amongst other things? The Bible said it was to lead them in the way that they should go. So the presence of God is direction for those who carry it. If you study Isaiah thirty twenty one. If everyone when you are in the wrong. Direction, there may be no proper there to tell you. Is say you hear a voice behind you. That one is not many potents that does that. It's not in dwelling presence that does. That is the tangible dimension of God that you have harnsted that will tell you my song. You are in the wrong direction. This is the secret of invincibility. I tell you here over and over again. If you are in the wrong direction, speed is not an advantage. There's no point heading towards Kenya when your destination is in the opposite. Direction, maybe Zambia. Even if you are flying in. A supersonic jet, every speed ground you cover is to waste the time. So before you talk speed, talk direction. One of the equivalency of divine presence is direction. That's one of the power that Jesus will. The Bible said, he himself knew, what did you do? Anybody who has direction is a commander by default, the Bible said of the children of Isaaca. He said, this be the man that had understanding. First Chronicles twelve thirty two, or Times and seasons. They knew what is they ought to do? The heads of them were two hundred, and they said all their brethren were at their commandment. Don't pursue position when you don't have the capacility to function as the compasses. The one who has the competence for direction is the leader by default. And so when God gives us his presence is to give us directions. And when it gives us directions, he makes us the head, not the tail, because it's the. Head that leads. Number two benefits of the presence is protection and covering from evu and danger. You had me fought a moment ago from one one four, verse one to three. I was sharing with you last week. I told you the man of faith, when it confronts a mountain, he needs to address the mountain for the mountain to move. Jesus said in Mark eleven twenty three. If there's a mountain before you say to that mountain, Bedao removed, and they say, if you do not doubt in your heart, you will have whatever you say. That's the level of the man of faith. Or look at the realm of the man of the presence. When Israel went out of Egypt the house of Jacob from a people of his strange language, the Bible said, Judah help me be first. Judah was a sanctuary, Israel was his dominion. What did the presence do? Verse three to five. There's see said, I'm fled. You don't need to carry a man to and hit the child. And I said the part No, there's a level where they see se parase. There's another level where they see go back. They see saw them and fled. So seas gone wrong. And when we talk see we are not just talking water bodies. In the spirit prophetically speaking sea and water speaks of men, multitude and nations. So what it means is that nobody can gang up against you successful Lisa. If they most gather, they would be wise to. Gather your favor, because the Bible said in Eive fifty four, verse fifteen, he said they gather there be four I was thinking, he said, because of God. He said, for your sake, So what do you carry? It's God's presents. They see saw them and fled. Jordan was driven back, and he said the mountains skipped like rams, and little heels like lambs. And then there was a shock, and they asked the question, what a led d oh thou see that thou flatters? Now? Jordan that that was driven back is the oh yeah, mountains that you skip like rams little heels. Why are you skipping like lamb heard the reply. I say, if you are challenges, have intelligence to know that the foolishness will confront you when you carry God's presence. You think your challenges are not educated? Say their reply, tramble, thou art at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of. The God of Jacob. So why the guy of faith is telling the mountain go out, go out in the name of Jesus. The man of presidence shows up, and when it comes the mountain it has sense to get out of the way. So why you are using faith on the left hand, use the presence on the right hand. Both of them are weapons. Look at the way the sum is put it some ninety one from verse one to eight. Let's be very fast hear that ballet in the secret place of the Most High a buie under the shadow of the Almighty? Is that I will say of the Lord, he is my refuge and my fortress, my God in him, will I trust? See what God's presence becomes for you a fortress? Do you know what a fortress is? A fortress is a forty fied region of safety. Fortress. That's where nations hide their leaders, that's where they the offensive weapons. And this type of fortress no can break it. I'm talking fortress that God himself fortified. You. You, you, you wonder why you're some people things go wrong? They are standing and you said, why are you like this? They are there, they are covered. See, somebody will receive a covering from this. Armies is the sureley. This, mister, assurance on my integrity. I can assure you he shall deliver. The from the snare of the fowler, from the nois on pestilence. He's a covered dy with his letters and on that his wings shut out. Trust. He shall be thy shield and butler. If this come to hit you, God will be the one to resist them. Imagine, imagine the fortification. Thou shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrows that fly by day, nor of the pestilence that walk up in darkness, or the destruction that wasted in noonday. See the one that blew my mind. There's seven eight thousands shall fall by your side. Ten thousands. See, don't make the mistake of saying they have fired everybody. You are not everybody. It is happening to everybody. You are not everybody. This is eleven thousand people falling by your side in one day. He said, none of it. We taught you. Only with your. Eyes you will see and behold the recompense of the weekend. But why is it so? Because you are made God. Even my refuge they most high your habitation. It dwells in the presence. Tavid knew this, and he built his house in Good's presence. Hope you know. David had some of the best warriors that history ever recorded. The Bible spoke of one. He called him a Tony, the s knight. He took a. Spear and slaughtered a whole battalion, he said, and the other the son of Dodo. He carried his spear. He fought from money till night. When the enemies died, he wanted to open his hand, he couldn't. The guy became one with his weapon. He was as swift as a fair. It is that Shammar, the son of Agi, a whole military battalion ran away. He stood as one man, fought from money til night, defended the territory that had the lengthies. So when the armies of David, the Bible. Called them the first three in rank, and there was another three. The Bible said, David desired that they might drink water from the well that was in the garrison of the Finnish Singe, and three men said, is that what he wants? They didn't call any army. Three people, the Bible said, they broke into the garrison of the finishing. Do you know what the garrison is? We don't have time. I would have ask Mama to Heppos, because that's a military general. They would have told you, what are garrison? How many soldiers? Mama, how many soldiers are in a garrison? She's shaking her head. August seven to twelve battalions. Three people entered and broke through. What were they doing to draw water from where? That means? Why one was drawing water? Two were fighting over over twelve thousand soldiers. And when they finished that, one carried the what was coming, and they too fought. They broke through. Again and returned to what girl David when. Collected, he said, look, this is no water important as an oblission. This one is blowed. That was the kind of soldiers that David had forget what. David caused his safety some twenty three, verse one to five. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. The armies may fail, they not just may fail. But the Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want, he said, Do I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. If God is your covering, even we are men that you'll be comforted. Here we are God prosper him. He said, Now thou prepares a temple from me in the midst of my enemies. My cup run it over, and he is having abundance in the midst of enemies. What can make that happen? Except as sabot oh Mah Saboat came out the Majesty the King Gitana. Only him can't do that, no wonder. When David went to Salano Nayad, he said, you come against me with bows and arrows. It's not what I come against you. In the name of the Lord, God of Hosts Boom's army. You have defied. Yah the Hila Comara Kayah. Samoa. I don't know that you are fighting, But as you walk out of this auditorium, tonight, Sabot will appear for you. I f Sabot will appear for you. He can fight battoos with weapons. He can fight battoos of can go. He can fight batos of badliness, which have a kind of battle. He is the Lord of hosts. Oh my God, his voice is upon many walkers. He talked that he divided the flames of fire. He causes the hinds to her, there is none like him. Look at it. Look at the life of Hannah, not chide. The other woman was taunting her, making mockery of her. But when you come to first somewhere Chapter three is they talk not exceedingly arrogantly for the God, the Lord. This is the god of knowledge, and by him actions are way. They say, a way. Enlarge your mouth over your enemies. And we've caused the ball of the mighty to be broken. He lifted up the beggar from the donkey. He lifted up the paw from the dost, that they may stand among princes. And inherit throws, Come on, now, there's nothing impossible for him. Nothing. I speak over you. Every battle you are fighting on there now they are this all. I the Minion requires mysteries. A friend of mine who works with the United Nations HM one boy meeting and they told him to. Prepare yourself because after the meeting there will be a banquet. And he said, every time they recruit top functionaries promote people to certain ranks. They have that banquet. And there's a man that used to come. He's if this guy enters, and you are the one who think life is on about buying a selling, you gotta check some of these billoneas that you know, I'm not saying everybody is. If they don't vow to God, they'll bow to something else. And in this generation they're not even ashamed you're think it's about selling cars alone. There's a place for competence. There's a place for economic intelligence. There's a place for diplomacy. There is a place for capacitive building. There is a place for strategic partnership. All of these things are important. That's the plans for productivity for your remote bridge too. There can be no kingship. This brother entered the meeting. Certainly this man God opened his mose in the spirit and the man was man. And fish and he's a white word. Did this guy come from? That was when somebody has whispered to him that after this meeting they're going to have a session with you. Whatever proposal he gives you, refuse. You know who that guy, he comes from the water. Some of the people you meet in the markets are not human beings. They walk clothes of animals, the weird clothes of men, and you think you are talking English. Another friend went for a board meeting of seeing also banks, and God opened his eyes. He's not one of them. You would take your white suit in the spirit. The guy was tying this old painted with these banks that that warlock's wear. And we as he's talking, his chewing is we white people saw everybody with suit. If we choose and talk, you can't say. No, even if he doesn't make sense, prinstood, that's what brings to me. If you will be protected, you must be covered. And I professy over. Someone the tangible dimension of God's presence, it will envelop you tonight. Please sit down for a moment. We need to move. First, mountains are either removed or they keep out of your prey. Number three, why is the presence I pattern? He brings rest and pieces. We have many responsibilities. Even if Saturn it's not fight you, sir. If you can't do setain responsibilities, all your nerves will go haywire. I just finished a project with one of my friends, Leroy, have you recovered? When we finished it laid down as if he was dying. That said all happen, He said, the whole part of his head is aching. At the same time, I said, one, carry cold water, pour your head for one minute, and put you ahead. This why is not saturn. You have been exposed to pressure beyond you. So that is physical pressure. There's financial pressure, there's political pressure, there's spiritual pressure. You need rest. If you don't Paybut this weekend we are gonna pay salary. The moment the more is coming to an end. You are your table. Every paper coming from every unit is millions, millions, millions. Sometimes when we just the head will become hot. Anybody who talks what cut out? You are not an angry presence? Are the NEPs? The nepts on the threshold. The way you recover is to enter the presence. The Bible said in Acts three. Nineteen times of refreshing comet from the presence of the Lord. It comes, and it's when you have found rest that you can access inspiration for the next level. We move by inspiration, but in anxiety there can be no inspiration, he said to Moses after us Tarty three fourteen. My presence, we go with you, and I will give you rest. I we give you rest. I we give you rest. So there is rest, There is refreshing in the presence. That's why most of you who don't say in God's present you will pull out. They can of scandals we keep. It's not about your strengthser it's in the presence. I I I forty thirty one. It's that there that worked upon the Lord. They renewed their strength. They mount up with wings as egos. He said. When they're wrong, they are not really. When they walk, they don't fit. There are times one for three weeks. Every day I'm ministering or traveling back to back to back, and everywhere you come, the people want you fresh, if you like rest. The dead. In the last meeting they don't care. They were not there. This is where they invited you to God show you can't work. God said, I had back Egge, I couldn't come. What is that? We paid flight over ten thousand dollars. They will come and you are saying back egg, good egg. Is that you know you have back Where did you sign for the job? Human must come over? But the government close you and they renewce you like the ego it costed you. See this scripture all is telling you you literally or prays, where God is, because if you read that scripture from. Verse twenty eight, this attributes is God that had them, He that hast thou not known, hast thou not heard that they are? But lasting God, the Lord, the creator of the ends of the head, saying that not. Need I see wally. So this is no human strength, is that there's no such an office understanding twenty nine. He give that power to defend onto them that have no mighty increase their strength. You may read this person and say, yeah, he's talking about old man. It's the old man. There are things that when even if you're young, even if you are wise, so long as you are still at the frequency. Of immortal man, it's that even the youth shall faint, the. Young men or tallyform, because the youth and the young men are the senate manifestation of human capacities. He's ay, even at that level, you will think, but there. Is a strength that never deplets. It's the day that waits upon the law. When the glory comes down, he renews their strength and they enter the God frequency the same way God wrongs and doesn't think, walks. And doesn't get way. He said, that becomes your dimension. So every day you are having to lead different sectors, requiring leadership, wisdom, inspiration, and he doesn't finish. You are in several boards, all of them asking questions. We'll answering. You'll never run out of wisdom. That's not the education. How that can give you that. That's a feel it in the man the breath of the almighty. Keep let him understanding. Traveling from place to place, you don't break down. It's a strand from above. But the presence was the manifest. It gives you rest, refreshing, and it gives you peace. Number four, He empowers you to prosper. Genesis thirty nine, Verse two to five. He empowers you. You don't prosper by luck. You don't prosper by chance, even if your father is a billownear, and it gives you wealth. If you don't have what it takes or sustain it, give it time me to vanish. He takes power to prosper First, the power of productivity, the power of developing, gift things, character, the power. Of investment, negotiation and diplomacy. Then spiritual power to hardness, faithful to harness, good will to harness, strategic discernment. Those ones are not. Read, they are given, he said in Tautronomy eight seventeen. Don't say is with the strength of my hand that I made this fortune? If not, when I remove my hand, you'll be shocked. He said. You shall remember the Lord, your God. It is him that give it the power to get well. He takes power to prosper, and that power is a byproduct of saying God's presence. Look at Joseph. This was a foreigner, not just a foreigner, but the slave that was working as a houseboy. But see what the Bible said about him. And the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man. How many slaves are prosperos in strange lands. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian. So he was the slave, but the prosper because. The Lord was with him. Next verse, the master and the dover his authority to Joseph, and his master saw even that's why I said, this tangible, manifest presence. The Master saw that the Lord was with him, and that the Lord had made him to pro so e. When the Master recognized that the guy prospered. And that was no one blew my mind. And Joseph found grace in his sight and served, and he served him, and he made him over sea over his house and all that the Lord had put in his hand. Since you are prospering like this, you come and be my manager this house. Boys, he won't help me more. You know what Lebn said, I have come to understand by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you. He was telling Jacob the people of the world, No, they can't reach us when you're entered. They know what you can be with apart from your certificate. You need the presence so that you can flourish. In verse twenty one, when Joseph eventually ended in the prison, even in prisony, he prospered. Who prospers in the prison and all of that was just preparation. In some one of five from verse seventeen, he said, the Lord sent him ahead of them, so that was God's errand and he said, when the time that this war came. He said, the war tried him. The king sent for him, lose him and let him go. He made him a lord of his house, ruler of his substance, to bind his princess at his pleasure, to teach his the natal's wisdom. He entered Egypt as a slave. He came out the prime minister. When the man carries God's presence, his beginning might be small, but don't worry. His letter end must greatly increase because the presence empowers you to prosper. This is why you must contend for it. There's nothing, not something that's been more in God's kingdom unless you don't know what to do with God's presence. Number five mm. Glory to God, Joy and fulfillment. And we'll stop here because of time. I told you that at the end of your life, when you look back, only one thing we matter, whether you are fulfilled or not. And when you look forward into eternity, only one thing we matter, whether there's a reward for you or not. Those are the two things at the end of the journey, fulfillment or reward. If you will live a fulfilled life, you must live a pop possible life. But pop possible. Living requires empowerment. That's where presence comes in. So when we speak about joy, it's not happiness. You buy a car, you can be happy. You are promoted, you can be happy. Somebody gives you something, you can be happy. But when you talk joy, it's an economy of the spirit. Only fulfillment can bet joy. And this is why the presence comes handing. The Bible says in some sixteenth that's a level in thy presence, its fullness of joy at thy right hand, pleasures forevermore at s Three nineteen CAUs it refreshing times of refreshing comet. You know that joy is the weapon. There is nothing can shake you. It's because even when outside is purbulent, inside this can wise man told us the ship was designed to float on water, so no water sinks it. The only water that can sink the sheep is the one that enters. What piece does is to secure the integrity of your body's. As thoughts. Even circumstances can make you float. So say all things work together for them that. Love God, who are God. Into the sports, peace, joy, fulfillment, rest. These are not things money come by. There are many rich men who are troubles. So I'm sleeping cottins. Some are running. They don't know what is just in them. But when you find the type. That has God's presence, they are rich and there's no sorrow added because God makes men prosper and the blessings of the Lord make it rich, and God that no sorrow. So be rich in God's. Presence, and be rich in material things, and be rich in good ones. That's the formula glory to God. These are the benefits of God's presence. Now, how do you develop the tangible dimension of the presence? I have ten more minutes, I'll just run through them. How do you hanneess it until it becomes tangible? Number one through a lifestyle of holiness and obedience. When Satan brings rebellion, he's trying. To kick either kick you out of God's presence or suffocate suck out God's presence from your life. Adam was created to live in Eden. He was under the saturated weight. Of God's presence until certain thought in rebellion. All this, Oh, I'm sorry, Lord, you far today, rise tomorrow. God we forgive you. The blood of Jesus makes sure of that. But you may never become great in this kingdom. Maybe you may go to the village with a ram and get the type of money that ads for room. But if it is God, there are credentious. You want to walk in God's presence, There must be a life style of holiness and obedience some twenty four. That's three to four. Here the way the Bible puts it. Who shall ascend the heels of the Lord, who shall stand in his holy place is a hymn that has a clean hand, a pure heart who has not lived up is so in vanity or sworn deceitfully. Holy man carry God's presence. In fact, they don't just carry God's presence. Their presents carry them. Know in this first second puter one, no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. Holy Men of God speak as they removed, But the spirit God carries them. God moves them. He moves them in power, moves them in inspiration. Most them in strategic seasons move to the place of their blessing as the power of God's presence her next true holiness? Number two, How do you develop or her next define presence through a lifestyle of prayer and fellowship. Look at the way Jesus was described John one, verse one and two. In the beginning was the world. The world was with God. The world was God. All things were made by him. Without him, was not anything made. That was made in him was life. The life was the light of man. The light shined in the darkness. The darkness comprehends it. Not you we assume Ah, you are God, you are Creator, you are light. You don't need any form of interaction so long as you're in this body. You need intimacy to manifest God. So that even Jesus. In Mark one thirty five, the Bible said, early in the morning, Jesus went to a solidary place. There he prayed. That was his lifestyle. He built a relationship. In Look five, verse sixteen and seventeen, the Bible said, Jesus withdrew from the people. He went to a solitary place and prayed Verst. Seventeen. As it was titty, the power of God was present to you. It's a technology. In Matthew seventeen, verse two and three. At this letter, he took Peter, James and John to the mountain, and as he prayed, presidents began to intensifive. It was a hardnessing protocol. The version of his countenance was ordered. His reilmant began to glist. When that experience finished, you read the same story in Luke nine to thirty five. Jesus returned from the mountain. Here was his disciples using formula to cast out demos. We did it the last time. Now what they're not going on is not a formula. How much of him do you carry? What the condition of your faith? They kept shouting. They demon wouldn't go. That's what the man to had, no coty non of God. Already struggling. They aren't a shamed sweating at least have them now. When Jesus came, we brought ours all to be who was totally vest of demo? For your disciples? Could you cast. Jesus was so pain and looked at them, You purpast generation. Why the moment Jesus turned the demon could recognize God. Don't just go with the name, go with the formula. Jesus. I know, pa, I know, who are you come with cobring that God's presence beyond your life. But the way to do it is to stay with him. If you don't stay with him, he will rob off on you. Those who carry him, stay there, exit us thirty four twenty nine to thirty. Moses was there for forty days, the Bible said, as they return. If Moses was not aware that something had dropped off, his face was glowing. That glow in your life can be faithful. That glow in your life can be wisdom. That glow in your life can be good will. One of the. Biggest blessing you have in this life is good will. That if you put anything out and your name is on it, people accept it. Oh, every great man as good will as a blessing for these things. Rob off on us. Where were staying God's presents? Some of us can stay there. If when you come to charge and George wants to help cook you after two minutes, let's look at this guy. Is it blue today? You were at home. You couldn't do it. You stay for five minutes, you end up kitchen open port covered, carry's boom. Put there. Now you something is pursuing you from there. This is the disease of the soul. Stay there, he said, to whom belong at, redness of eyes is there the parry, the parry long you take a spirit to just commit himself to you casually, dibo you who is a man? Do you meet somebody five minutes every day? Are you bringing to your bedroom or making a board member in your company? You have to build a ness and stay. That's how it works. Spend time in prayer number three. How do you build God's presence? Make the dead on the wall? When you stay with the world after why will show I'm simplifying this, Please learn it. I'm telling you you will end up either being the architect of your progress or your misfortune. The ramp has become open to everyone the death of ho ess of voice no more. All of us carry the fullness of God. What you make out of it is your choice. In second Timotive for thirteen, I'm fifteen until I come, give a tendance to reading. To exhortation, and to doctrine. If they give thyself holy to this thing, your propity will be made manifest to all the world of God. I told you in us three dimensions, that is the gravee of God. First Timoti three sixteen. That's the reading world that one carries instructions, a carriage, correction. A carriage principles. But there is the logos, which is the wisdom of God. The logos is trapped in the graffe, and then there's the ramma that comes from the. Mouth of God. But the ramma can also be broken. Out of the Graphe this is why you made war, so that you move from the reading to the wisdom and the power. This book of the Law Joshua one, it shall not depart out of the mouth. Thou shall meditate upon it there night, say that you. Obey what is written therein. Then you make your way prosperous. I thought you, we say, God, we make you prosperous. No, you, we make your way prosperous. Then you have good sources. You want to be a carrier of devine. Presence, you must talk the ward too. The ward ate it until he chokes and saturates you. In someone verse one to three, he said, blessed is the man the work at not in the counsel of the on God, nay, nor stand that in the way of sinners, nor is seated in the seat of the sconfo. He said, but his delight is on the law of the Lord. On this law he made the death day and night. He is like a tree planted by the rivers of living waters. He produced or produces his fruits in his season. He said, whatsoever you do, it is shall prosper. You come to a level of your life where there's no good season or bad season. You are just man that goes from glory to glory. It's possible. Did you read your Bible? The flood that was killing people was what was sustaining the. Arc of Loa. So even bad season can be a good season. What do you carry? And what is carrying? Blessed that doubt? If it's God's presence? Number five, how do you develop the presence? Or no? And red friends for God? I read to you Genesis thirty nine, verse two and four. You had that God was with Joseph and prosperty. Did you ask how? In verse nine? But the first wife threw herself at him, and Joseph said, no, not so much. Not so your husband gave me everything authority over everything in this house except you because you. Are his wife. How can I do this evil and sin again? I won't do it, even if it takes him to prison. He will stand this girl. I would rather leave your house and go to prison and keep God's presence. That will stay in your house and lose God's presence. He knew what was more important. But eventually even Partifi Joseph became greater than him. Don't compromise where you are. That place will soon be beneath you. But if your compromise, that would be your highest platform. Just that would have been the most senior houseboard in Partifa's house forever. He would have. Partied a breathing, but that would have been signing off the position of a prime minister. People don't fear God. That's why we are shouting, screaming, making declaration. Nothing is happening in the days of our fathers. Go read the Bible. A monk who walked to a king. And said, before God, whom I style, they're not the presence first King seventeen. That's one you don't dare if you don't know where he was talking from, the shaping nor rain, Nor do you except by my word. You know what it means. You are in government, but we rule this land. The king thought he was a madman, and there was no drama. He finished talking and left a few months later. What that didn't change? Again, it's thell not supposed to be any ceasy. What's going on? They call all the geographers six months one year. What did does man say his name mean? Is again? See? Because of what you carry, they will look for you. A point came, but. The king and Obadayah, because they saw that that was the closest present, they started looking for him from it for everywhere. But this man had mastered the presence. He was no longer working in the presence. The presence was now carrying him, so much so that when Badayah saw him, it's okay, God, tell the king I'm coming. Oh bad say God forbid that I leave you. You think I don't know you? If I don't, now the presence of God will carry you. The presence became a lighter chariot. That's dominions. And guess what Alja showed up. I said, now rain way come, but you must either use God or bad who gets King's conditions. When you carry god presence, it makes you an authority. And he said, no, we won't do it privately. If we do it privately, propaganda is also a weapon. When we go to the mountain, the patent who claims he. Has a living God will prove it. He that cast got fire from heaven. He's the one that has gone. Now have you experimented this? Why you stad there? They will show you inventions that are. Not in time. Hope you know when Dania entered the palace, everybody. Was in crisis. A hand came from somewhere a road. We don't know what it is. We don't know where it came from. We can't read it, let alone it to bridges. The ancient showed off and looked at the king. Before he looked at the hand, he said, God gave you a kingdom that expanded from one part of the head to another, for you choose to worship the god of tona Io. This is why the hand king. So let me tell you why the hand came first. Now that I've explained, let's look at the world. Right. I know where this hand came from. I lived there. Many Manai tach care over seeing. You have been charged. You have been weighing the balances tonight. Your kingdom shapp it divided between the medicine and depressions. Dominion comes from the presence you are doing yourself at this pebble. If you are not harnessing it, we wait for men for six weeks one year with dehumanize ourselves to win the approval of men. The Bible say, how can you believe when you desire the honor of men more than that of God. Don't despise man, honor men, God use this man. But listen, let nobody take the place of God in your life. Other wise you have finished. Is the one who never changes. I am the Lord. I change it not dear for you, sons of Jakob, I'm not consoled. Presence, we don't have honor. That's why everything cause us. They went to the mountain and like you gave. Them money to night and was mocking them. Maybe your God traveled. I was asking myself, that's it is this? What if you do it and it doesn't work, it cannot not work. I live where fire was created. I live there. When the time came in order for you not to say the coincidence, power water and fill the trenches. When they put the water, the man who was educated we are. The ancient ones to. Wear showed off, and he began to invoke all. Paths of their fathers. He elected twest tones, and those tweest tones are the covenants of the twelfth Trivees. Of israel Ah. When he finished, you needed to hear all tramps that is not taught in the school. He began to involve the jealousy of God, and before he finished wire this is ten deaths from revel. I speak over someone from today. The impossible we begin to happen in your life when you talk systems, we share. When your protocols to be broken. In the name of Jesus Christ. Please be down. But it takes oh no, oh no, oh no. God in your hats are. God is not your colleague. God is not your friend. He's not your neighbor. He can allow you to build relationship. With him, or you must remember that you are like clay in his hands. He's your maker. He can break you and it can make you. There's too much on the mining dis honor and irreverence. In our generation. We are the men who can show up and said, before God, do my stand and it will matter. Israel was fighting a battle. Joshua saw that if night comes they will be disadvantaged. And in Joshua ten twelve, a motor man stood top and said to the constellations, let this son remain upon the mountains of a Chalon, Let the moon remain upon the value of giving on. And it said the son did not make aste to go down? What kind of power is that this guy stands somewhere? The grace to remain steadfast in God's presence it rests upon you from tonight. How do you build God's presence? Number six order It takes order to sustain God's presence some one or two. Verse sixteen. He said, when the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. God is a king. If things are not or daly, he will show up first in your heart, then in your environment. It takes order your heart, most sustained decor, room. Of honor, or purity of worship. And tell your environment must be built in such a way that all of the glory goes to God. A chaotic system can't host the majesty of that king. Eitana. Look at what mostly said. Letity costs nine very six. This is what the Lord commands that you must do. Then his glory shall appear. So these people know what to do for God to manifest. Talking or order. That we are to spontaneous things can be defied. Investi Manty three fifteen persons until I come, if I tarry to come, know how you should behave yourself in the house of God, which is the charge of the Living God, the ground and the pillar of truth. He said, let all things be done the sentry first Corinthians fourteen forty and in order. In your personal life, let that be order. If you want God's presence, there should be a time where you spend with God. There should be a time for your business. There should be a time for your family. Some people wake up. The moment they wake up, they curified and begin business. If after two weeks you'll remember, Kyle, morning in the morning is devotion or no, And they do it for one week and scattered, How will you create a highway for the king to enter? Their great fathers knew they have order. The Bible said three times in the day, turn me a pray facing Jerusalem Jesus, he said, any in the Morney mark one thirty five, he went to a solitary place. He prayed. There was order. There should be time for your business. Like the brother who was testifying, he said, he closes the show and goes for evangelicsy. That's not other. Don't close your shop and go for evangelousy. That is passion. But there's no wisdom. God may be allowing people to come while you close it. But it won't continue like that. So don't just wake up randomly I say, I want to wish. So and close up. No, sir, there should be a time of the week. In fact, storty your business unless if you are part of a corporate system where you go out once in a why or the wise. If it's personal evangelousy, storty your business. Find out when you have the least sale. I know the place of sacrifice. What that means is that if you have to, you will. But if you don't have to, and there is a wisdom when you can check your time, when you feel that activities are low, you can't go and do your business. And again you can chose to use the whole of Sunday for evangelism. We need order, we need structure. Go wan church Jesus' ministry. The Son of God had order. The Bible said in the Church of Jesus, there was the five hundred, there was the one, twenty, there was the seventy, there was the twelfth, there was the three, there was the one. No body mixed up. You don't just work up and no, you don't send out the seventy you said, you don't send out the five undred, you send the seventy. You don't send the five founder to the opera room, You'll send them one twenty. God Church, Jesus' ministry. Every time men came to see Jesus, Philip and Natania reappear. You never had Peter's name there. Every time they need that food, Philip and Natania will appear, not as stewards. When there was money, Judas was there, and when there was leadership for Apostolic governance, Peter, James and John were there. There's all the sun. God doesn't show up where there's chaos is Let everything be done in order, and it should be done. This sent me. And as I roundo. You want to see God's presence, there must be intense worship and praise. You don't honor him, he won't show up. You want to see him, worship him, honor him. Second Chronicles five, that's thirteen and fourteen. The presence hit the temple so much people could don't stand, and it came even to pass. As trumpeters, as singers were as one to make sound to be heard, impreising and thanking the Lord. And when they lifted up their boys with the trumpets and symbols and instruments of music and praise the Lord, saying. For is good. His mercies endured forever. Guess what happened? Then? The house was filled with a cloud, even the house of the Lord. When you're present, he saturates you, It saturates your environment. Be not drunk with wine Efficients five, eighteen and nineteen. We're in this excess, it said. But be feed with the spirits. Be feel being filled with the spirit, speaking to yourself in sounds in him. Since spiritual song, make him melody in your. Heart to the Lord and giving terms. You are filled. You want to see God's presence due the lifestyle of worship and praise from today. If your life doesn't carry the tangible presence of. God is because you don't want to. You know how? Now can we rise off today's thanksgiving? So let's experimend the last one. God already began with us this morning this evening, rather with intense presents, not by worshiping Him and things move. Can you left those hands and give him thanks. I've taught you how to thank God before Number one had pushed you off gratitude. Number two songs of praise number three, a dance in honor number four, presenting your substance before him, The Bible hurt. Let the people press thee and then they act. Shall you that increase? Because you have. Pressed in I degree and declare everything you lay your hands to do, It's commanded to prosper, he said. The twenty and four elders, they fell on their faces, they. Cast their clowns, and their remain relevant. Because you have reverence in. This is the beginning of your relevance. Your horn is exhort head, your position is established, your natural is guarantees in the name of Jesus. Right even in prison, Paul and Silas praed, and Sank praises, and the Bible said, the gates of the prisony opened. As you have lifted your voice in praise. Anything that has incaprated you, all incapacitated you or overwhelmed you, they are commanded to collapse. Now in the name of Jesus, the Bible said. Jesus lifted five loaves and two fish. He gave tongues, and he motiplies evon Aron's staff. Put that in the presence, because you have common that this atmosphere of God's presence. I speak prosperity over your life. Let your businesses motifly, Let your career flourish. Let your career flourish. Prosper in the name of Jesus christt Finally, when they give hands at the tomb of Lazarus, the miraculous open, even the dead came back to life. Whatever you have lost, I speak restoration over you. Now in the next seven days, everything you have lost is rounded back to your life in the name of Jesus. Let God become your helper. Received the help of God. Receive the help of God. Let my lette my let me my tame my God, or became the game? Was that my God? The time? Acona beacona better my con. I need the bandy room, everything that creek would you, everything that oppressed you from today, when you're short, they will vanished. How power then, prosper in Jesus might in me as I stepped down. You are here tonight. You have not made Jesus your lord. You can never have God's presidents. You want to make that decision. Lift your hands. We don't have the time to call you out. I'm seeing hands already. Lift it up. You want to surrender to Jesus, place. Your right hand on your chest, and say this prayer on ground in the overflow online. Dear Heaven, live Father. I believe with all my heart that Jesus is your son. I believe it died for my scenes. Tonight I confess. With my mouth that this same reason, Jesus, it's my Lord and Savi you, I receive it, turn alive into my spirit. I am borne. Thank your Father for receiving me. Jesus' name I have declared
