RE DEFINING THE BLESSING THE BLESSING OF ABRAHAM LEICESTER BLESSING

I give Jesus a big, big, big, big. Harm a man praise the name of the Lord. Well, it's good to see everyone. And the Bible says, onto the Lord shall the gathering of his people being but so daily. Thank you, Wen, you honor your dear wife and the entire leadership. May God bless you in Jesus name. Allow me appreciate Mayor Harold Moore. He flew in from the United States for this. This man is an incredible man. When he called that he was coming, I said, no, no, no, you don't have to fly. And he's been. Around all the sound of revival conferences in North America, and I said, just say, you're a politician, you're mayor. Don't let them drive you because you're traveling doing evangelism. And he didn't even answer me again. Next thing I heard was that he was already in. The plane coming of God bless you. Truly. It's a joy and an honor. By the way, I appreciate and honor everyone, every man of God, every person who is worthy of honor. We give Jesus the praise. I'm here because I believe in what God is doing in your life and in the territory This is why we've been sent. Every time He grants us the grace to strengthen one another and to speak over the territory, we embrace it as an opportunity. I'm here to. Help someone see Clara better. I'm here to help someone access the grace needed for the hour. God sends us as instruments of mercy to help give clarity, perspective, to help build. And it's one of the burden that God has given me this season, a renewed boden to disciple nations. There is need for the Body. Of Christ across every territory to come into the fullness of the stature of the measure of Christ. The Church is at the messy of the men and the women who teach and serve the wisdom and the grace of God. And if we are limited, we will produce a sincere but ill prepared people. We cannot give beyond a level of access, access to light, access to wisdom, access to power. And so every time God provides an opportunity like this to meet people beyond the local assembly, for me, it gladdens my heart because only God can tell who is standing before me. Only God can tell. The Bible says, now are we the sons of God? And it doth not yet appear. You see, you can predict fairly how many foods can come from a tree, but you never can tell how many trees can come from a seed that one seed planted nature. Allelujah. And so my charge for us tonight as we begin these sessions is Number one. Let your hunger eyes. Let your hunger eyes. The word of God produces when it meets a hungry heart. Number two, let's adopt the principle that was given to Moses. For many years. Moses had been in Egypt. In fact, he was being prepared to be the next Pharaoh. But when he encountered the burning Bush, the first instruction. He was given was take off your shoes. Your shoe is a representation of your experience, your knowledge about God so far. Sometimes when you encounter him, he says, take it off, because I'm about to show you something that may be foreign toience, but needed for your destiny. I'm praying that somewhere in the course of this meeting, someone will really find grace, someone will encounter wisdom, that mighty. Men and women will arise. You have invested your time, many of you perhaps have traveled outside of Leicester, some of you within the city regardless, and for those who are fallen online, look beyond the man. Let your eyes beyond Jesus. Let your eyes beyond his wisdom, his light, and he will do us good. Can we lift up our hands in one minute and ask again that the spirit of grace will breathe upon us. Go ahead, Thank you Jesus. Speak to our hearts, light our candles, give us understanding, bring us to a state of maturity and stature. By the speed it empower us. Strengthen the body of Christ within this territory. O God, let your name be glorified. Let your name be lifted. We leave you high, yeahway away, believe high. Yeah away away sing we live you high yeah with away. We'll live you. High, be lived high. We'll live to hah. Ah. Thank you, Spirit of Grace. We receive understanding. Let the book be opened, Let those cross be unlocked. Guide our destinies to a place of perfection and power. In Jesus' name, we pray, God, bless you. Please you may be gloriously seated. Allelujah. I understand we're dealing with the subject of the blessing. For this conference, and. I always like to teach along the team given to me. And but for the purpose of stability, out requests that you allow me just digress for a few minutes to lay a very strong foundation, because you see, as we grow into maturity and stature, one of the things we must learn is the value and the supremacy of the will of God. The will of God. Now everything in the Kingdom revolves and must revolve around. The will of God. What gives value to every teaching, every desire, every pursuit, is that it must be connected directly to the birthing of the will of God. Is someone learning already. So in the Kingdom when you obtain onto maturity as a believer. And let this also be a great encouragement to perhaps a man of God, a woman of God, that in teaching concepts in the Kingdom, you have to first let the people know that nothing in the Kingdom in itself profits the believer except and unless it is connected to the will of God. So if you're teaching healing, if you're teaching prosperity, if you're teaching fruitfulness, if you're teaching advancement, it becomes vanity. If left alone, the strength of that teaching is when you can connect that pursuit that desire to the will of God. Do you understand me so far? That means if you. Just want to prosper for the sake of prosperity, if you want to be healed for the sake of healing, one self becomes the object of the pursuit. Then it is vanity. It holds no weight in the spirit. What gives our pursuit its value is that it is connected to Kingdom come. It is connected to the program of God. So when people understand the will of God and get to a point where they are determined to see His kingdom come and his will done, then you have no restraint in teaching them the things that equip them to do so. Healing prosperity, now you can teach it with confidence knowing that you are teaching a people who are already cultured. They have an orientation that my life and everything about it must be for His glory and for His kingdom. Are we learning now? It is a risk to begin to. Explore certain dimensions of the provisions the riches that are in Christ and to help people understand it without first connecting them to Christ. To his program, to his purposes. What will happen is that that knowledge will become like the tree of good and evil. Number one will bring enlightenment, but with enlightenment to bring corelor. So you will find the people who rejoice at increase, rejoice at prosperity. But Jesus is not at the back of their joy. They're only rejoicing because they have been better equipped to be selfish. They have been equipped knowledge has fortified self in them, so they rejoice because self is finding expression. Are we learning already? I'm saying that as a background because in teaching very delicate subjects like the blessing, it matters to me, and it. Matters you know. The Bible calls us master builders, and the Bible says that every man of God must be a wise master builder. Are we together and you have to build according to pattern? So that whilst people enjoy and receive the revelations and the blessings that follow those revelations, they are not they don't fail self. You bring them to a point where they realize that all of the provisions that are made available for me in Christ, it's not just for self aggrandizement. Are we together that at the end of it, it is to equip me to be an effective weakness and to birth the will of God. Everything around the Kingdom. Now the word gospel, I'm still digressive wherever we stop. Thank God, we have two other sessions, but this foundation is important. The word gospel does not just mean good news. It is a declaration of glad tidings. But in that. According to Scripture, there are seven distinct gospels. The most popular that we know is called the Gospel of Salvation. It's a declaration of the love of the Father revealed in and through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. But one of those gospels for our discussion tonight, is the Gospel of the Kingdom. And although it is by the same Lord and the same spirit, the dynamics differ when you discuss the Gospel of Salvation. In that narrative, Jesus is revealed as savior. Man is revealed as a helpless personality and able to save himself by any work of the Lord whatsoever. The Father in the narrative of the Gospel of Salvation is the initiator of the process that demonstrates his love away together and so man really does not do anything. Man has the privilege of watching a spectacular display of love. That God soul loved the world. And he proved that love by giving his son, and Jesus came, died, paid the price. Are we together? But when you now teach the gospel of salvation in that narrative, Christ is no longer savior, He is king. And the helpless personalities called men, they are no longer helpless because at that point they are saved, they are empowered. Are weay together? But then there is an orientation that they sustain. They now know that God has a program, God has an agenda, and that their lives must. Be about birthing the will of God. And it is from that standpoint that you begin to explore everything in the kingdom, prosperity, health. So if I ask you why do you want to be healed? I am not convinced until your explanation ends up revealing the will of God. Why do you want to prospect? If you say, well, I'm tired of suffering, lets that does not seem to open up. That's a sincere explanation. But it is not kingdom because Christ and his will is not captured in your explanation. It is someone understanding. Now we become a mature people, not just when we have so many scriptures in our minds, but when we get to a point where our wills can die, so that His will is birthed, his will is revealed. And don't get me wrong, if you truly understand the will of God, you will know that the will of God is all about your profiting. So that it does not look like. He's such a selfish person, he says, I know the thoughts that I think towards you, Jeremih twenty ninety eleven. They are thoughts of peace and. Not of evil, to bring you a future and an expected end. So God is all about you. Whilst we were yet seen us, not even asking, not pray, not demanding for salvation, he went out of his way. And if he gave his son, we need not give you all things to enjoy? Are we together? Prays the name of the Lord. Someone say let your will be done? One more time, say let your will be done, And let me just connect that very quickly and then hopefully begin our discussion. What exactly is the will of God for man? We have to understand this. What is the will of God? Now? Logically speaking, there are two dimensions of God's will. Number one, that's what we call the written will of God. That means or the generic will of God, the will of God for all men. It is not unique to any individual. Are we together? It is every time you find a man, you can be sure that that is God's will for that man. And it is written in scripture that God desires that all men be saved number one, and then number two, that they come onto the knowledge of the truth. So for every man you see, you can be sure that preaching Christ to them is not going out of the will of God, helping them to be part of a family that builds them spiritually. You don't need a prophecy on that. Are we together now, it is the will of God. So there is the generic or written will of God. As captured in scripture. God desires for all men to come into the fullness of sonship. The Bible calls it the of his calling. That when he got or saved, there was an intent in his heart that we structurally grow and attain maturity through sonship. Because an heir, for as long as that air is a child. Galician Chapter four, from verse one, he differed, not from a slave, even though he be Lord of all. Are we together so. That, even though we are saved, if we remain children, we will never be able to release the riches that are captured in the God life, because the life we have received, manifesting the riches, the glory that is embedded in that life is knowledge dependent and maturity dependent. Knowledge dependent. Some of you right here, as parents in your will, right now you have perhaps you have children who are not even up to teenage, but there is a will for them, but you're not going to give them access to it. Are we together? Maybe not even a will. Maybe you've purchased something for them, some shares in investments, and you are thoughtfully enough, even as much as you love them, you know that until they attaind a state that you consider maturity enough, you will not grant them access to it. So, in as much as we are saved, we have received the riches that have come from this life, it will not profit us. I tell you, and your difference, the difference between you and one who is unsaved, will barely be. It only from a spiritual standpoint that we can really tell the difference. But as far as manifesting victory and dominion is concerned, the difference will not be there because eternal life releasing the riches that eternal life captures is knowledge dependent and maturity dependent. If someone following this over press the name of the Lord, Yeah, that means the more we press to gain knowledge, understanding, and attain on to maturity, the more we are able to release that which is invested in our spirit for the nation's You see, and at the end of it Christ to be glorified John fifteen and verse eight. Hearing, is my Father glorified that ye bear much foot? I hope you know. Fruitfulness is proof that the tree has become matured. A tree only becomes fruitful when is grown beyond a certain limit. You'll be unfair for you to plant, and by next week you expect you expect food. No, you are patient. You know the tree is growing. But then it gets to a point where you begin to see the indecease that attests to the fact that growth has happened. John fifteen sixteen. You have not called me, but I have called you and ordained you that you should go and bear foot, and that your food should remain. If someone is learning, so as amen, prais the name of the Lord. So I'm talking about the will of God. That Number one, there is the generic or written will of God. We still have that all of us. Number two, there is what is called the reveal the will of God. Now this is the revealed of God, the will of God that is revealed to you on demand. Because your destiny will require progressive revelations of God's will. There is a generic will that guides you, but progressively your call direction that which God wants you to do part time and per seizing, and you will need the revealed will of God. And that's where the Holy Spirit comes. Are we together that the Holy Spirit is a revealer of the will of God. No man knows what is in the heart of man, saved the spirit that is in that man. So also no man knows what is in the heart of the Father, save the spirit of the Father. And that the Holy Spirit has the exclusive right to such the mind of the Father, and to reveal to the saints that which has been stored ordained for their glory. Allelujah, the revealed Will of God. And perhaps some of you have heard me teach that in lets the will of God. There are three biblical ways. I don't know why God is just routing me through this path, but there are three ways to accessing. The will of God. Number one scripture. Number two the revelatory ministry of the Holy Spirit. Number three the prophetic. This is how we're able to extract the will of God for our profiting Again. Number one scripture. The first way we know the will of God is by learning scripture. The Bible says in Look chapter four that Jesus stood off for to read that it was given to him the scroll of Isiahs, and he found their way it was written concerning him Hebrews ten seven. Law, I come in the volume of the book as it is written of me, to do your will. Allelujah, prays the name of the Lord. Number two the revelatory ministry of the Holy Spirit, that the Holy Spirit guides. The Holy Spirit reveals. As they set themselves to pray, the who go spoke to them, separate me, Paul and Bannabas. And then number three the prophetic. I have spoken to you in similitudes, and I've spoken to you in dreams. All by the prophetic. The prophetic, if under the influence of the world of God, can produce power in that it is able to bring direction and to bring guidance. It's someone learning praise the name of the Lord. So I'm hoping that as we explore this topic, it would not just be a canal celebration of the awareness of victory. But now with this background everything I'm about to say, because we're going to go deep into this concept of being blessed to really understand what it is. And if you do understand, it will truly change your life. And you will now appreciate this digression that has come as a disclaimer, so that in rejoicing it tams your appetite and make sure that your joy is only refied by its connection to the will of God. So that as you leave this place tonight, you will leave rejoicing knowing indeed that I am blessed. But you will not speak as a canal man. You will speak as one who is enlightened. That Heaven will rejoice over your awareness of this revelation because you would now become an advantage to the kingdom. Are we learning? So can we begin? Let's brain the spirit for one minute. Thank you Father for wisdom, thank you for grace. It is about your glory. To see you high and leave tear up. You are shining in the light of your glory. Pour out your power and love as. We sing, Holy Holy, Oh, we'll see you high. You're shining in the light of your claw. Oh much your power and love as we see. Thank you, Holy Spirit in Jesus' much less name. We pray. So I'll be teaching on the blessing. The blessing tonight. We'll be part one, and we'll take it from there. Wherever we stop, will pray, go home, come back, try again, go home, come back, and then see. How far we're able to cover. Amen and Amen. Anyone ready, I rejoice in advance. I rejoice in advance. Someone's life will change. Allelujah. Okay, efficients chapter one, we're reading the first three verses efficients chapter one. Paul. Now, notice we's talking. He starts by telling you he's an apostle of Christ. By there, does it make sense to you everything we've discussed now, so you can trust everything he's saying, because he's telling you that his life and his apostleship it's not just about the issues is discussing, but that ultimately it is the will of God. The will of God is what drives him. So Paul verse one again, Media, Paul, and I'm not saying verse one. I'm saying verse two. Can we try again, Just do what you did the first time I saw that one. Hallelujah. Okay, no, just just go to verse one. Let's finish verse one. Make it slowly. Thank you, Paul. An apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God. So this is the person speaking. Now who is he speaking to? To the saints who are in Leicester. Now it's important for you to know, so you know whether the discussion is your business or not. There are certain discussions that are not your business. So you have to know who is speaking and who is speaking to. This gives you contextual understanding in discussing scripture. Are we together so to the saints? So if you are the saints, those saved, those who love Jesus, who are faithful in Christ Jesus, then every other thing I'll be discussing is for you. Are we learning so to the saints who are in Ephesus. Now we're in Leicester, so we'll not say Ephesus. The saints in Leicester and the faithful in Christ Jesus. Verse two grace. I like this grace to you and peace from God, our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. Shout us through with me. Please, if you love Jesus, when you see projected media, we're ready for us. Three Ephesians one and verse three. Okay, let's go one to go stop stop stop, stop, stop stop. Do don't rush you, don't rush it at all. Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has Now. There are many things God has done for us. He saved us. Are weay together? But now poly saying he had blessed us, not will bless us. He had blessed us, and then he tells us the extent of the blessing that He's blessed us with every spiritual blessing, every spiritual blessing. But now there's an issue we need to discourse because it tells us the location that these spiritual blessings are in heavenly places. And the code for access is the Christ. So that if your life fails to capture and reveal these blessings, it does not change the fact that God has blessed you with every spiritual blessing. Are we together in heavenly places? In Christ. So let's leave that scripture there to revisiting. Let's go to Genesis chapter twelve. The Bible talks about a very interesting man who is very interesting because the major world religion today, as we know, all came out from that one man. Christianity are we together, Judaism and all its expressions, and then Islam all came out from that one man, Abraham. So the Bible tells us that this was a man. Who was in a nation called war of the Childians. And I don't want to go into the background, but if we had the time, I would have told you and shown you from scripture that the first person to be called was not really Abraham. The first person God called was his father Terror. But for whatever reason, he did not respond. And that tells you how God is. He comes to you and proposes his superior life, but he gives you the opportunity to partner with him. Or reject him. The Bible says, as many as received him, that mays, not all who receive him. Unfortunately, now the Lord said to Abrahm, get out of your country, from your family, and from your father's house, to a land that I will oh you. Verse two, reading to three. It says, I will make you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great. Do you know we can spend all night just discussing what this means. I'm telling you we can take the whole day just discussing verse two. It's a very profound scripture. I will make your name great. You can be great without your name being great. Yeah, if you are great without your name being great, your greatness ends when you leave. How many of you have heard the word JP, Morgan, Chase? How many of you have heard whatever names that represent dynasties. That's a great name. An individual can be great, but if your name is not great, they cannot perpetuate greatness. Nobody can come under the covering of your name. You see in giving in herotance. Don't tempt me to digress. Help me. I'm a pilot tonight. Just help me. Let's fly straight, no detaors, Let's get to where we're going. But I need to say this. One of the things the Bible calls in heretance is a good name. Are we together? Yes? That in all your giving, whatever you give your children or those if you just give them physical things, you really did not help them a good name to be better desired than material wealth. Anyway, So back to our discussion. I will make your name great, and you shall be Take note, you shall be a blessing. I will bless you, and you shall be a blessing. Verse three. I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you. And in you shall the families of the hearth be blessed. If that is you, say amen. Now, generally across the body of Christ we use the word blessed or blessing, bless you. We use it to greet. You know, most of that was an extrap from the way the Jews salute one another, the great Shalom, peace, blessings to you, and all of that. And it was Bible culture to speak blessings. You see. Paul would begin or end his conversations, you know, with blessings and so on and so forth. And the psam is used that a lot. For instance, someone please give it to us, he says, blessed is the man. Blessed is the man someone When you read from verse one to three, blessed is the man who works not in the council of the ung goodly, who nor stands in the way of seinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. I don't want to go ahead of myself. Just leave us one day. By the time we get to verse three, he begins to describe expressions that attest to whether or not that man is blessed. So you can use verse three to verify Verus one. If a man tells you I'm blessed, and eventually you do not find the expressions invest three, something is wrong with his understanding or wrong with that reality. Are we together? So we use the word blessing, or we use the word blessed, And. It's important for us to really understand what does it mean to be blessed? When I say bless you, or God bless you, or you are blessed, or I call you a blessing. We use it in English, we use it culturally, but for. The most people with not taken out time. And I'm telling you, even if you serve as a dictionary, it only goes so far. But it's a very pregnant word that I'm hoping we'll exploiting the course of this conference. Are you ready for it? So the word. Blessed, generally speaking, refers to favor, refers to fruitfulness, refers to advancement, refers to preservation and protection. I'm just broadening the scope for you. So generally when you hear the word blessed, these are the similes that come to your mind. Fruitfulness, favor, preservation, advancement, everything around that is captured in that word blessed. But let's do a little Hebrew and Greek, just to put perspective. So the Hebrew word, there are many Hebrew words. As you know, Hebrew is a very deep word, and the Bible was largely the Old Testament was largely written in Hebrew, and then the New Testament had a combination of Greek, Aramic, and you know, here and there you'll find other expressions, Latin and all of that. But largely is believed and agreed that the Old Testament was largely composed of Hebrew, whilst the New Testament had a lot of Greek expressions. And so the word blessing, really there are many words, but I want to select just one. It's the word barraq be a r a k. The word blessing is the word barrack. There are other expressions like eshah. There are other expressions like baraka that talks about being a blessing. You say blessed, But generally the word barraq, the root word baraq has to do with tuoping down, kneeling down, and communicating honor. Are we together? So when we talk about the word blessing as the world of blessed, barack the Hebrew word, it gives an expression of going down on your knees, bowing down, and communicating honor. Now you can extend that word to me. Kneeling down, stooping down in respect and then giving someone a gift, presenting something of value? Is someone learning now? Yes? So when you kneel down and worship, when we say bless the Lord, how do you bless the Lord by giving him money? No? How do you bless the Lord by you see that the honor the worship is blessing the Lord. So when you go down. On your knees in worship, as you love him, as you just pour out your heart to him, you are blessing the Lord. Is the word barakh is someone learning now? Yes? So that's very important. And then it extends to other words like baraka, we're blessing now. So generally it has to do with praising and it has to do with stooping down to show respect and in that communicating benevolence in terms of gift or whatever it is. But let's look at the Greek word. I don't want to, you know, stretch us beyond necessary. The Greek word for blessing, and there are two of them. One is called elogia. Now, and that's even the root word where you get well, let's leave that, but blessing eulogia if you care for the spelling eu l o g i a eu l o g i a, And it's from two words. I'm not going to go into the details. It simply means a good word, a good word. The Greek does a better presentation of what we are looking for. So the word eu logia means a good word. That means a pronouncement that works for your favor, a pronouncement that leads to your advancement, a pronouncement that brings protection, a pronouncement that brings preservation. Who is learning now, So. The word eu logia has to do with declarations. Whilst barack has to do with worshiping, obeysments and all of that. Your logier has to do with pronouncements that produce effects, visible evident effects, effects of advancement, effects of blessings. Away together, now you understand what the Lord did to man. The Bible says, and God blessed him, and God blessed him and said to him be fruitful. It was a divine pronouncement that must produce an effect. Who is learning? So far? Another word? It's still a Greek word, and I think that's one that now that one really means blessed itself, That means an expression of it. So one Greek word. Your logier has to do it the speakings that produces the evidence, whereas another has. To do it. Becoming an embodiment is the word maccarios. The word marcaryos there does not just talk about the pronouncement. It means living in the evidence. Macaryos means been fortunate. Marcaryos means you have been preferred. That means you have become an embodiment of the favor. It's not just the pronouncement that was made on you, but you have come as the evidence. Who is learning? Now? My carrios means fortunate, It means privileged, it means happy, it means spiritually prosperous. Away following so far, I just needed us to have these foundations for the purpose of our discussion. We're going to dwell on the Greek. Expression because that's what captures all that we're doing, that pronouncement, and then you're becoming an evidence, giving you all of the evidence and all throughout discussion. There are three I'm going to break my discussion into three. Number one, we're going to be understanding what the Bible calls the blessing of Abraham. Number two, we will understand what the Bible calls the blessing. They are not the same. Then number three, who will understand what the Bible calls blessings? Three things one the blessing of Abraham. Number two the blessing. Number three blessings. You see, we use these words in church and in a very well meaning way, but they are not the same. Is the reason why it does not produce power in our lives. Who is hearing so far? Now? I need to tell you this. Both God and men can bless men. God can bless men Genesis one twenty eight God blessed man. Both God and men can bless Blessing is not exclusively. Reserve to God. Genesis one twenty eight, and God bless them. Talk to me who bless them? God bless them and said unto them. In Genesis one twenty two, one twenty two, he blessed creation. He blessed the fishes, and God bless them. I hope you know that the same blessing. This is interesting, isn't it. Most people do not know why the sea, the waters, the air is rich and fruitful. It's because God bless them. Look at it. We focus on Genesis one twenty eight, and that's wonderful, but we forget that something happened in Genesis one twenty two. If it ever works, it's because there is a blessing on it, and God blessed them, saying, be fruitful and multiply and feel the waters. He gave them fruitfulness, He gave them multiplication. But he did not give them dominion. You see, so he said, feel the waters and let the multiply on the earth. Can you imagine? So God blesses creation. God blesses men. How about men? In Genesis one twelve, one and three, we already read that he spoke and proposed a blessing to Abraham. Now let's look at men. Blessing men Genesis twenty four give us verse sixteen Genesis, chapter twenty four. So Rebecca is about to leave her family. Are Bible students, Rebecca is leaving her family to go to Isaac. Finally they found a wife for Isaac called Rebeccah, and they blessed Rebeccah and said, unto her, our sister, may you become the mother of thousands and ten thousands? Can I professor over a daughter of Abraham? Yeah, in the name of Jesus Christ, may you become a mother of thousands? Now listen, listen. Already you are wise enough to know that he's not just saying your womb should give bed to one thousand, even if you get pregnant every week. That already should inform you. You need to understand the thinking of the people who wrote. By what they are saying now, were together the murther of thousands of ten thousands. And may your descendants possess the gates of those who hate them. Ah, this is a good prayer. In the name of Jesus Christ. May your descendants possess the gates of PRIs who hates them. Please be see there, so God can bless and men can bless. Is it in your bible that Isaac was about to die. Then he calls his son isa He says, come make me venice in such as I love, I want to eat that venice in so that my soul will be delighted and will bless you and die. And he so leaves to the wilderness to go and catch Now isn't it interesting that what is so when to look for? Isaac already had in his house. So why did he ask him to go to the field? Allelujah? He wanted to bring him to bring the fruit of his value, so he would. Speak to him. And why has that happened? Unfortunately? Isn't it amazing that this same Rebecca again, she calls Jacob and says, I've heard something. A blessing is about to leave your father. But we have an advantage because he is blind. His blindness can be an advantage. He said that may you not be blind. Because blindness can cost you. It can allelujah. And so he said, okay, I will prepare this for you, and Jacob became afraid. Jacob said, no, my father may be blind, but he will feel me. My brother is Harry and I'm not Harry, said, don't worry, will get something and just create and simulated said please, so I don't end up secure in a course, he said, don't worry. I know it's my husband. I know what to do. And then the Bible says that he went, you find that in Genesis twenty seven. And he goes to get everything and meets his father and said, father, a misu, I brought it somewhere in the course of this conference. I will PROPHESI verse twenty for you, even though he was lying, but there's a powerful principle there, allelujah. And he met him, he said, how is it that you have gotten me so quickly? He said, because the Lord God has brought it to me, even though he was lying. Let me use it as a prophetic world the things that others are looking for. In the name of Jesus, WI letter quickly, because my God will bring you to your How is it that you brought the job so quickly? How is it that the lines you got everything so quickly? I release, Claire is upon you as I speak right now, Claire. Is upon you. Help us on that your notes and in the name of Joseus, please be seen. Stu early. Let's let's let's not let's let's let's leave that Stuelle. Stuelle, he said, because the Lord God has brought. It to me. And so he convinced his father. But he said something, Ah, I have many things to say, Holy Spirit, help me. Verse twenty one. Jacob or Isaac, he said, come so that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really isso or not? Verse twenty two. Leaders. This is one way to discern deception. The voice is the voice of Jacob, but. The hand and the hands of his soul. Can I imagine? He went near to Isaac and said, my father. He felt him and said, no, something in my spirit. It is true that it is the voice betrays you. It is the voice of Jacob. But the hand is true that the other hands of it. So anyway, he now speaks a blessing over him, and Jacob receives it. And as soon as Jacob leaves. The Bible says is or returns and isso says my father brought the meal, and he said, what is this? I mean, what has happened to you? What has happened? I just I was deceived. I have spoken the blessing already. The Bible says, A hard working adult with skill ability to fend for himself began to cry, and I trembled exceedingly Verse thirty three, and said, ooh, where is the one who hunted and brought it to me? I ate of it, and I am blessed him, and indeed he shall be blessed. That's thirty four. When isso had the words? He cried, question, what really is the blessing? Because Issou was not a lazy man. We're not talking of someone who is not productive. We're talking of an adult. What makes an adult to cry with fairy sin in your hand? It means if you don't understand that blessing. There is no guarantee to live in a victorious life. Whatever will make an adult cry and say, father, he said, bless me also find the way of doing it. If it was all about pronouncement, couldn't he just repeat it again? Thy five? He said, your brother came with deceit and has taken away. What did he take away? Thirty six? And Issa said, is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my bet right and he took away my blessing. And he said, have you not reserved a blessing for me. Watch this thirty seven. Then Isaac answered and said, indeed, I have made him your master. When did that happen? I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants with grain and wine. I have sustained him. What shall I do for you now, my son? That's thirty eight? And Issa said to his father, have you only one blessing? My father blessed me also, my father, and Hesa lifted up his voice and cried, I just wanted to show you one scripture, and then we'll get back to a discussion. And Isaac's father said unto him, behold, your dwellings shall be of the fatness of the earth and of the dew of the heaven from above Verse forty. By your sword, you shall leave, and you shall serve your brother. And it shall come to pass. Now we leave this till we get to Jesus Christ. It shall come to pass that under a certain condition, when you become restless, you shall break that yuke. Give us NLT or n IV. It doesn't just call it yuke. It shall come to pass when you become restless, that there is a burden if you can't get it. That's that's fine, allelujah. It talked about breaking the dominion. The dominion. That's the word I'm looking for of your brother over you anyway, I just wanted you to see the implication of being blessed. Adults cried in Bible days because they did not get blessings. Today, most believers just trivialize it, and we generally say I am blessed, but we don't expect anything to happen in our lives as an advantage. Praise the name of the Lord. What I pray that things would change from this conference? You believe that? Say amen? So. In the Old Testament, the blessing was an empowerment to prosper. In the Old Testament, the blessing was largely concerned with being empowered to prosper, empowered to advance, empowered. To be fruitful, and to be preserved. Are we together? So throughout the Old Testament, everywhere you see the blessing, it largely had to do with a priestly and prophetic pronouncement that produced an effect of favor, an effect of fruitfulness. Are we together? It was an empowerment that made an individual, any individual whatsoever, to be preserved. It is safe for you to look at the Bible, and every expression in the Old Testament of preservation, advancement, etc. It was credited to the blessing. Are we learning now now? But something the dynamics of the blessing began to change. As we approached the New Testament. In fact, the foundation of it began with Father Abraham. Now we're delving into the blessing of Abraham. If you're writing, please write that down the blessing of Abraham. I wanted to discusse the blessing of Abraham. Haven't laid the foundation, just a general understanding now most times to the average believer. And please, by no means, don't find any offense at all when we say the blessing of Abraham. Here's what most believers think, cars houses, a job promotion, and they are not necessarily wrong, except that that's not really what the. Bible calls the blessing. In fact, when the Bible mentions. The word blessing, it has nothing to do with material things. Material things only come. As an attestation that you have been blessed. Are we together prays the name of the Lord. So when we talk about blessings in the kingdom or the blessing. Now I like you to take your mind away from a good house, a good car. Those things are by their eventual product. You can have all those things without being blessed. Diligence can bring them. The blessing is higher, greater, by far more superior than any physical or material thing, even though it does control them. Are we together now, let's examine the blessin of Abraham. Is that chapter fifty one, from verse one and two, the Blessing of Abraham. If you're learning so far, say amen, please be patient with me as I build this. We've established a number of things that one the blessings have to do with pronouncements that produce effects, effects such as peace, prosperity, happiness, et cetera. And that God can bless and men can bless. We're still working together on that right. So it says, happen to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the Lord. It says, look onto the rock whence from whence ye were hewn, and to the whole of the pit when ye were digged. Verse two, it says, look onto Abraham, your father. The word look onto means on that study he is the portrait. Of what I call the blessing or a blessed man. If you want to study what it means to be blessed by God in the Bible, your study is not complete until you do a case study. Now, the way God works is that sometimes in helping us understand him, he will call men and deal with those men in a certain way that they become an embodiment of certain possibilities. So every time you don't understand what he's saying, he will refer you to that man. If we are talking about a blessed man, Abraham is the Bible's portrait of a blessed man. If we're talking about encounters, Jacob, are we together. He's encounter in Genesis thirty two is a portrait of what the Bible calls encounter. If we're talking wisdom Solomon, for instance. I see, now, so there are individuals who embody certain spiritual possibilities, so that in studying their lives you can learn the ways of God. So look onto Abraham. The word look there does not just mean you can't even find Abraham now he's long dead, but he means under study him. There is a way that I let Abraham, and if you follow that path, you will eventually arrive an embodiment of a blessed man. It says I called him alone and blessed him and increased him. So let's study the life of Abraham to understand what it means to be blessed. The Bible causes the blessing of Abraham Genesis chapter twelve one to three. Write that for reference. We already read that, won't go back. To it again. Then let's go to Genesis seventeen. We look at six and seven. We're doing a bit of Bible study. And I will make the exceeding foodful. This is still God speaking to Abraham. And I will make nations of thee and now and kings shall come out of the verse seven. I will establish my covenant. Watch this between me and the and I seed after thee India generations for an ever lasting covenant. What is a covenant to be a god onto thee and to your seed? So when you say the God of Abraham, you are not just naming God after Abraham. Are well together. He's saying that I have an everlasting covenant to you and to your seed, that I will be a god onto thee and to your seed. That is after the. Now Genesis chapter fifteen. Please, Genesis chapter fifteen. Let's connect a few things very quickly from verse one Genesis fifteen. From verse one. After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, fear not, Abram, I am thy shield and your exceeding great reward. And Abram said, Lord God, what will doub give me? Remember at this time he's still without Isaac, still a child, What wilt thou give me? Saying that I go childless? And the steward of my house is Eliaza of Damascus verse three, reading to six. And Abraham said, behold to me, thou hast given no seed, And lo one born in my house is myn heir. No one, he's trying to say. And behold, the word of the Lord came to him, saying, now everybody, listen, this shall not be your heir, but he that shall come. Out from your own boels shall be your heir. Verse five. And he brought him forth abroad. He said, look towards heaven and try to count the stars. Do you know what he's doing. I'll explain to you shortly if thou art able to count them? And he said, so shall your seed be finally verse six. Abraham believed in the Lord, and it was credited. To him for righteousness. So there was a conversation that happened between God and Abraham. The Bible says that. God kept proposing to Abraham that he was going to become a father of great nations away together. But for some reason, and according to scripture, it took Abraham a long time to believe God because Abraham was not interested in having multitudes children, as the stars or the sea show. He just needed a child away together. He just that all his concern was to have a child, and God was proposing something bigger, better, greater, and it kept it kept, it kept frustrating Abraham, and God didn't seem to get his attention in a green on that promise and that covenant. And here's how God helped him. He called him one night and tells Abraham, look at the stars, try to count them. Then he will count count and then you know, lose counting. He says, that will that's the way your seed will be. Finally, even though he had no child, Abrahm believed God, and the Bible says it was credited onto him for righteousness. Now keep that scripture. Turn with me to Romance chapter four. This is where we thank God for this noble apostle and apostle of apostles indeed begin. From verse one. Paul now makes reference to that encounter, and he now gives us a biblical contextual perspective. What shall we say then, that Abraham, our father, as pertaining to the flesh, has found For if Abraham were justified by works he had wherefore to glory, but not before God. Verse three, for give us an IV. I'm a king, James person. Some of you are not getting the dandal. So just give us an IV or something so that that will help us at least for now. For now we'll go back to work kings, where kings will go back to kjvisel are and ivy. Okay, Abraham believed God and it was credited to him as righteousness. You see that now, So Paul is making reference to Genesis fifteen. Now verse four, verse four, Now to the one who walks, wages are not credited as a gift, but as an obligation. Paulice explaining, however, to the one who. Does not work but trusts God, who justifies the godly Now Paul is telling us that that. Thing has nothing to do with children. The blessing of Abraham is a mystery that was hidden that Paul now was unfailing to us. Are we together that what you call the blessing of Abraham is a mystery. That acts out how to be justified by faith. So the one who. Does not work but trust God who justifies your godly listen, their faith is credited as righteousness verse six. However, David said the same thing, when you speake of the blessedness of the one who got credits righteousness apart from work. Seven. Now is a blessed are those whose transgressions are forgiving and whose sines are covered. Final verse blessed is the one who's seen the Lord will never count against them. So look up, what was he discuss it in that whole conversation. Just just help us under the anointing. Now look at this, he's saying. Paul is teaching us that the issue of stars, the issue of our children, as whatever it is. To the canal man, he's just looking at the story. But Paul is saying, there is a deeper mystery in that story. And if all you look at is the story, then you've not gotten the revelation that out of that story. The mystery is justification by faith. How a man will believe God over something your ability cannot produce, And that the moment you believe God, it is credited to you. That was the formula that was used to impart salvation. So a message comes to believe us, and even though we do not it looks impossible, we believe and we receive the blessing of Abraham. So the blessing of Abraham is not cars, it's not houses. It is justification by faith. Someone learning. Galatians chapter three gave us the starteam, I love love Galatians three, I love your presence. I love, I love, I love you, g I love, I love, I. Love your presence. Now read for you Christ. Paul Againe has redeemed us. He's talking redemption now from. The course of the law by becoming a course for us. For it is. Written cost is everyone who is hung on the cross or on the pole. Toward end fifteen. Give it to us from versa. Let's go back to KJV thirteen fourteen. Let's go back to fourteen. Media that the talk to me everybody, that my common rule. Now questions, how does the blessing of Abraham come upon the gentiles? Because we're not part of his natural descent, So how are we supposed to receive that? If all he was talking about was physical things, you don't qualify to inherit anything from Abraham because we are not used historically are we together? We are gentiles, so that talk should not even affect us. But now he says Christ, he introduces a factor that Christ has redeemed us from the cause of the law being made a cause for us, for it is written, course is he that hangs on a tree. And the reason for all of that verse fourteen is that the blessing of Abraham replace that expression that justification by faith may come upon the gentiles through Jesus Christ. So the next time you hear the blessing of Abraham, what it means is the formula Abraham used to be credited as righteous? Is the gift we are giving? What is the formula? The word is ninety The word comes to you in your mouta and in your heart. If you believe it is credited to you, that you have no power to save yourself, You have no power to lift yourself are we together, but that you can believe in the finished work of Christ, believing that He came as a propreciation for your sin. That you hung upon the tree. Are we together now? Yes, that the verdict is that all have seen and have fallen short of the glory of God. But that you believe that report as frail as you are, not feeling righteous, not. Feeling worthy like Abraham. If you believe immediately, it is credited to you for righteousness. The blessing of Abraham is not curs it is not houses. No, the blessing of Abraham is justificaing by faith. Now, but listen, justification by faith is not the end. It is a means. You see that it does not end there. So receiving the blessing of Abraham is a passage to go further that leads you to receiving the blessing. Without receiving the blessing of Abraham, you cannot receive the blessing. And if you do not receive the blessing, you cannot have blessings. So the journey of a blessed man does not start with intellect in tell no, no, no, no no. It starts with receiving the. Blessing of Abraham. I will show you how this happened. Just just be patient with me. It says that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles through Christ Jesus. Are you saying it there. That we might receive see the promise that already tells you what the blessing is, that we might receive the promise of the. Spirit still true faith. Then it puts a full stop. So the end of that journey is that the blessing of Abraham, or just you into receiving the blessing. Whilst the blessing in the Old Testament ended with supernatural pronouncements that programmed you towards a life of grace, this one is beyond the pronouncement, is a personality alongside all his possibilities, coming to dwell a believer. The Holy Spirit is called the blessing. Now hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, keep your finger here. I hope you like Bible studies. Don't find a way of keeping your finger on this scripture. Because we're coming back. Go quickly with me to some one thirty three one thaty three A learned to sell a caaparata. Give it to us place some one thirty three. Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity? Are we Bible students? Verse two. It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran upon the bed, even Aaron's bed, and went down to his garments. Verse three. And as the due of Harmon. And the dude that descended upon the amount of Zion, How does that do come descending upon the mount of Zion? For there in that corporate gathering away together the Lord had commanded the go to asks Chapter two and verse one. Now you will see a plane out of this adds chapter two. Remember it says when brethren got that together, something happens, whatever descends. It's called what the talk to me? How we Bible students that when they got together that gathering, that state among the many things that descend, like the deal from Zion, is the blessing. Even life forevermore. Now in nine, chapter two and verse one, the Bible says, when the day of Pentecost was fully came, they were together in did they fulfill some one taty three? Now let's see what is about to come. Suddenly there was a sound from heaven as of a mighty Russian wind, and it filled the house where. They were sitting verse three. If you believer, they appeared onto ten proven tongues as of fire, and it sat upon each one of them, number four, And they were off tough with the No, you got that wrong, with the. With the. Someone learning, So someone that he three tells us that in that gathering descending from Zion, like the due of Harmon, God has commanded that the blessing should rest even life or evermore. They're about to act that on the day of Pentacos, never knowing that it was written already. They were gathered in one accord. Suddenly the blessing not a pronouncement. No, in the Old Testament it was a pronouncement, But this time around he was beyond just speaking. It was an embodiment of the speakings of God. A lost Paracletus, they call him. He's the paraclets beyond just empowering you to make progress. It's someone learning. Now. The Bible says he rested on each and every one of them, each and every one of them, and immediately Isaiah thirty two one, verse fifteen became a reality that until the spirit of God is fought from upon us from one high. Then the willderness, it's a spiritual language, shall be counted for a full vine. Three thousand people were saved in one encounter, and from there there was a movement that has become. Atopable force today. If someone learning now prays the name of the Lord, So sit down. Let's go back to Galicians chapter three. We read thirteen to fifteen. Now jump with me to twenty six. We read twenty six to twenty nine. If someone is learning, say amen, and your sound doctrine it. Sometimes the teachings line uponline. Connecting scriptures will take a while, but once you are patient, you now begin to see the threat. Do you know why I'm stretching you. Like this because conviction is built on understanding. It is not what you do that produces power. Is the understanding that supports what you do. So that when you tell someone be blessed, or you say I am blessed, these are the revelations that frame. They are like the bulls that tie your faith. It becomes anchored, unmovable. For year. All children of God, how. Faith in the similitude of Abraham? Are you saying that now. You became children of adoption by faith in Christ Jesus twenty seven. For as many of you who have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ, there is neither you nor Greek. There is neither bond nor free. There is neither male nor female. For year all one in Christ. Jesus shout verse twenty nine. If you a believer, want to go and if he be Christ, then I ye Abraham seed. I'll explain to you what that means. That you had no business even studying everything God told Abraham because it was between him and his seed. Unfortunately, the seed was not Isaac. It was his strategy. If the seed was Isaac, God meant Isaac was one child who came. So Abraham taught God meant him and Isaac. But Paul came by the spirit and said, no, I have investigated this spiritually. The seed was not Isaac. It was Jesus. Because Isaac does not have the capacity to bring everyone into that blessing but through Christ, so that the one who is a Jew connected by natural descent and the one who is alienated. And the proof. That we all came to Christ was in axt chapter ten, because that was when the salvation of the gentiles was started. Until then even the Gentiles did not believe. Remember Paul was angry, I mean Peter. Now Peter's having a sees and all of a sudden a trance comes before him and he sees all kinds of unclean animals, and he's told to kill. And it is no, no, no, no, no no. I'm a Jew. We don't do all these kinds of things. They never call clean onclean what I have called clean? What's the meaning of this? There's someone waiting for you. Go down and meet them. You will go to the house of Cornelios. Are we together now? And when he went there, he now said, wow, will. Peter yet speak these things? The Bible says the blessing like it came. I hope you know that everyone who received the Holy Goes in Acts chapter two was a Jew. There was no gentile there. Now the same Holygoes exactly like it happened. And Peter said, what happened towards Shoes has now happened to the Gentiles, even without circumcision. He said, truly, God is no respect our passivis. This was his radics. What he does to the British, it does to the Africa. Don't worry we're coming there. You will now see that Christ has become the equalizer of all things. I can be disadvantaged by my natural dissent, I can be disadvantaged by my background. But when I come into Christ, my goodness, the spirit of God in my life has become the advantage, the redefiner of my destiny, the redefiner of my possibilities. We believe that shot a man at person. I came from a family of idn't worship. You are right until you bring Christ into the equation. And possibly I know that by my background, we have a we have a truck record of diabetes, we have a truck record of failure. You are right. But once the Blessing of Abraham wants to hear the gospel, preach that Jesus loved you, listen, listen. When we go around. Preaching the gospel, it's beyond just Christian fanatism. We are bringing people into the blessing. The only way to come into the Blessing is to follow the pattern of Abraham. You hear that report, then you believe. You don't deserve it. What you believe and like straight through Abraham, it is credited immediately. It's a spiritual fact. Your body may not show it, your mind may not yet show it, but it is a reality, and immediately the Holy Ghost. Is ready to Entwell, you now. Hopefully would would fight a place to pray today. Don't miss the remaining part. I will show you how to release the blessing and you will see that having the blessing is like having a brand new phone. But releasing the blessing you can have a brand new phone and keep it. There forever are we together? Yes, you see what defines our possibilities in life. Many times it's not the love of God, because he loves everyone equally. But our possibilities are defined by the extent and the depth of our spiritual understanding. What you understand is what can rewrite your possibilities. So you can find two believers save but one is taking advantage of these resources that reside in heavenly places in Christ, and with those resources is. Commanding such dominion. And to the other one, you are wondering, God, why does it look like you are helping one fellow. You are helping one brother, You're helping one sister. You are uniquely annointing this man of God. And I am here, No, it is not the love of Jesus. M it is the depth of your understanding. I submit to you without sounding arrogant. There are certain things that cannot happen to me. My frame of understanding has reason beyond. If Satan will attack me, he will use another strategy. Not certain things. No, the revelation is a defense. It's going to be a waste of his. Time to come through certain things. Are we together? There are scriptures that are being implanted. They shoots like arrows. You saving minister deliverance to people and do all of these things. The reason is because a man of God is like a midwife. You are helping people through the passage until they get to that set of perfection. The set of perfection is not to be praying deliverance and to be no no no, no, no no. There is a state of victory where the reality of your victory in crisis seated established. But on your way there, we will continue to help you while we teach you. Are we together now? It's like someone having a dream. Now, Apostle, I saw a course on your life or whatever it is. I honestly I'm not even going to pray about it. The reason is it's not pride is that there's no possibility for imagining that. Again, I have built a garrison of revelation. Now it takes a while. It takes a while. It's like calling me a baby, like an infant, and then I feel offended. Are we together? Show has convinced there's no way of my mind thinking of myself as a baby looking for breast milk. Again, that's what God is doing to you, some of you. By what you are hearing. You will check and find out that certain diseases. I hope you know that certain fashions attached based on our gaps in knowledge. He does not just attack you. He studies your frame of revelation. What do you not know that defines the way he attacks you? When Jesus was hungry, how did he attack him with the matters of food? So Satan does not just come and attack you. Know, he profiles your spiritual understanding because understanding is light in the spirit. It's not hidden. To the degree to which you have understanding. We can know in the spirit when we look at you spiritually. Satan has regarded many believers. To think that the way to work in the blessing is just to believe that a car will come, favor will come. And there's nothing wrong with that, except that you see, we have a more superior expression of the blessing. They never had the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, but they had speakings, and He backed that speakings. But for us now beyond just a word, the pronouncement still stands, but it is more superior because the Holy Spirit. He indwells every single good. Believer, so that if you will never have a chance in your life for someone to make a pronouncement on your life, if you are saved and you have the Holy goes. Now the Holy Goes came to cure. The reason why is. Or cried this Or cried because the pronouncement was limited. It had left the Father. Are we together now? We don't have to cry. You can't say God born again at forty You are not too late. No, because it came on taty people. You are not too late. The issue of Isaac and Jacob was that it could only come on one person. But now in Christ, my brother, my sister, Lester, UK, Canada, everywhere someone learning, ladies and gentlemen, listen to me, I explained to you, as we prepare to pray one of the reasons for the powerlessness of the Body of Christ is that we jump at so many things that we've not taken time to build a strong foundation of understanding. There is no strong doctrinal understanding. So as much as we rejoice yes and one with Christ and this, there's no depth of conviction. And so while we direct and jump in church, in the realm of the spirit, there is no power to produce an effect. Help that, lady, Dadi annoyty, Are we together? You seem when you revelation is like an electromagnetic It's like it's fair when you come into a place, you also bring your possibilities with you. That's how it works. That's how it works. Are we together? Preachers lend this when you're coming. It's not just a message we're bringing. No, you are bringing your cloud, your atmosphere, your possibilities. There are things that have no business happening to people. But because you have come, Ah, the Holy Goost is writing through the vehicle of your knowledge, and he's blessing other people. I'll show you an example. How many people prayed in the prison and sank. Was it not just two people, but how many people benefited? Carl and silas alone pray. It was not everybody who was praying, but at least they did not fight them. But when that Charkina came, the Bible said, all doors. The jailer was about to kill himself, and he said, no, we're all safe. We're all safe. We're not in a hurry to go out. We understand that the will of God is connected to this deliverance. Let's go to your house. It's about the salvation. Now, let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen. You see the reason why pastosa, why they're healing ministry seems to have diminished. You know why, because we're more interested. In being called healers than being transmuters of his life. Most of the people, and your pastor has done an intelligent dissertation on the move of God, and all of that was part of his PhD. I am a student of revivals, and I have studied the move of God for a bit. I know a bit about the move of God. I can't tell you the reason why we fail to see the power of God. The reason why the average believer cannot rise to efficiency and stature is because there's been a compromise on the formula for growth. Do you know that there are certain foundations. If you do not understand, you will never really get anything right again in the kingdom. It matters who mentors you. It matters what they tell you about God. It matters what they tell you about salvation. This is why we travel around not only ministrying to God's people, but strengthening men and women of God to say, come, let's sit on the drawing board. Let's with all humility examine these things. The powerlessness of the Body of Christ is largely the powerlessness of the teachings. That come because people are empowered by the words. Are we together now? The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, but they can also be weapons of mass destruction. Something you can hear in one salmon will make you a powerless believer forever. Something you can hear through one salmon will make you become a mighty person. If someone learning tonight, so you see, if you really understand the blessing, it should not lead you to just jumping and shouting about cars. It should draw you to the Holy Spirit. Truly, he is the Blessing. Ah, Yes, sir, he is he is. And now the richness of your fellowship with him comes, power, comes, wisdom comes, grace comes favor. Now there are many people who want favor isolated from the Holy Spirit, the one breakthrough isolated from the Holy Spirit. Did you see that if the teaching of the blessing was done correctly, it will produce a generation that is deep in their intimacy with God, not just people who want things. Because the Blessing of Abraham has nothing to do with material expressions. It is a. Formula within that discussion. The conversation between God and Abraham was hidden a mystery. That Paul unraveled. That is not about the stars, it's not about the sun. It's a formula where God justifies the on Josh, a formula that leads you to meet the Holy Spirit. As mighty as Jesus was and is. He could not do anything until the Holy Spirit came, and he said, I have many things to tell. You, to teach you, but he cannot bear them. Now, how be it when he the blessing the spirit of truth. Now you understand him as an empowerment, but he's more than a pronouncement. In the Old Testament, they did not have the possibility of the Holy Spirit in dwelling them. He would come and leave. So the sam is to say, cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me, because he came to rest upon them, perform a task and leave. But now to the believer, we have become his habitation. Now he comes to rest. But utilizing his ministry is a separate dynamics that you'll be learning in the course of this. When you say I am blessed, if you mean I have some money in my account, no, no, you. Didn't get that right. If you say I am blessed meaning I have some academic papers before me, well that's fair, but that's not really it. The correct protocol is the depth of your relationship with the Holy Spirit. Then it now translates, no matter how rich you are, if you do not have the blessing of Abraham justification by faith, you are not blessed. You say that we misuse that word. Blessed means wealth, bless means. All of that. But in Bible language, when we say a man is blessed, yes, what we mean the man is saved by hearing the gospel and applying the faith like Abraham did. Are we together now justified? In Christ number two? That man has received the person and the ministry of the Holy Spirit, and in partnership with the Holy sp he is now accessing the resources that have been kept for us in heavenly places, the resources of faith, the resources of wisdom, the resources of the world, the resources of power. And with these resources you begin to play life like a chess. You many first a level of prominion and power, and power and power. He blessed them by saying, but this second edom and the seed that I have come from him. He did not bless us by saying. He blessed us by giving a were together. He made a pronouncement on the first edom. But to the second adom he went beyond speaking. He gave. He gave every time you mentioned the word blessing, see the cross. Every time you mentioned the word blessing, see the spirit of God. Every time you mentioned the word blessing. See that you have legitimate. Access to wisdom, to favor, to defense, to power. Yes, sir, Now does that mean pronouncements don't work? No, no, no, no no. We will talk about the activation of the blessing because it was while Peter speak. Don't forget that speaking does not end. But while he speaks, it is more than just oil that comes. It's the Holy Spirit. God has given me an assignment through the theme of your conference, to help you truly understand the blessing. For some of you, you are both happy and disappointed because you see the idea you came with about the blessing is just to speak upon you that cars should come and houses, and you will get all that. Let me tell you more than it. You will get what brings it. Allelujah. What you are receiving tonight. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen. That's what the Bible costs, true chees. I call it the capital that buys money, because money itself is a. Product and there is something that buys it. Believers must be grounded, Pastor thank you for this conference. Believers must be mature. Look at me, believers, we're about to pray. Hear me. One of the things I hope you learn in this. Conference is to go back to the root of your spiritual understanding and begin to investigate the things that you have built your faith upon. Do not be ashamed to start again. There are many people, I tell you sincerely, they're building on shadows. Now. I don't mean to speak against past us and all of that. I'm all for the body of Christ. But perhaps you were safe and you never had the opportunity to be under a system of structured spiritual guidance, to learn doctrine methodically. Line uponline. You will be surprised how many pastors do not understand the readiments of salvation. Do you talk of the business of power and then to be trusted with God's program across the nations. No, it takes more than the awareness of His love for you. There are things you must know. I write these things to you that he may know, He may know, Allelujah. So let me summarize it this way. Outside of the blessing of Abraham that leads you to the blessing, there is no possibility to truly be blessed. The only one who can say I am blessed is the one who has partaken of the blessing of Abraham, and through that has received freely of the blessing. To such a one you can say, I am blessed. I see that now. So the one who is blessed, it's not just the one who is rich without Christ, not the one who is prosperous without Christ. Absolutely you can get all these things without Christ. But you see in describing for you the expressions of the blessing. Hopefully tomorrow you will see the things money cannot buy. He says, peace. I give you my peace, not as the world gives. And then you will bear witness to me by tomorrow. How many wealthy people you know who cannot sleep because there is a dimension of peace. And joy that is of the Holy Ghost. The ability to laugh through storms, These are things money cannot buy. How about the fruit of the I thought you would get it right, the foot of the These are things you cannot buy. The food, the life of Christ, that character apostle. I came from an angry family, and guys, we are like that. Once I'm angry, I give it to you. No, when you encounter the blessing, he begins to culture you see the blessing, the Holy Spirit comes upon you and is likened to alllive. He releases something. There's a hell that is released. It's called your nineteen. Within him, it begins to do a work in you, ladies and. Gentlemen, to produce that christ like character. And then, because of the presence of the blessing, the Holy Spirit capacity is given to you to both know the will of God and understand the modus soperandi of the kingdom. Now you can begin to engage the kingdom with intelligence in a way that produces dominion, victory, and profit to your Christian experience. Then you begin to. Bear fruits thirtyfold, fruits sixtyfold, and fruits. Listen, it is. At that level you will lay up wealth God like dust. Most people think God does not prosper, God does not lift, God does not favor. You are joking you you know the God of the Bible. Are we together? Yeah? But what he needs is your heart and your understanding, and then you will see levels of favor that you would never imagine. You meet me on these ladies and gentlemen. Now let me wrap up in business. For those of you who are business oriented, there's a law in business. We call it different names. We call it the law of attraction. And it's also a law that has been received in physics, chemistry, you know Newton's law of gravitation. Remember this is a campus Praise the Lord. Yeah, I'm wrapping up with this. I want to tell you something that's very powerful, and I'll just leave it on that note. And then we'll take it tomorrow. People call it, others call it all kinds of things. They call human beings. So the law of attraction for parts that men exhibit magnetic properties, and they say that in relation to wealth and opportunities, and they credited to the cosmic forces, they credited to modern nature. The concept is not wrong. It is who or what they credited to that is wrong. It is not the universe. No, there is a God. All blessings come from God. Are we together? But here's the part of it. Allow me for a moment to borrow and draw from the wealth of science as a wrap up. Isaac Newton, in studying the cosmos and in studying bodies, among the many postulations that he came up with was one that we know for those who are science based, as the universal. Law of gravitation. And yes, what he said, that everybody in the universe attracts every other body right which, for any two bodies, it says, it's directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. Let me summarize that. It means that everything you are looking for is also looking for you. Hold on. But there is something it is looking for in you, and instruction has been given creation that the things you look for should only follow you when they find out that certain things are intact. I pray that you find the world of believing this. The Jews understand this. This is what makes certain people exhibit magnetic properties. So a person can come into a land like Leicester and find out that just when they arrived, a helper also arrived. It looks like it's coincidence. No, it's a law in the spirit. I show you the implication of the blessing in physics again, please forgive me. That's what we call the law of resonance. Are we together that when you hit a tuneing folk at a certain frequency, every other body within its vicinity that is at that frequency will vibrate without being touched. This is how it is. As you rise in the spirit knowing God, there is literally an energy that comes from you and it regins to resonate with the possibilities that are connected to your destiny. I really want you to believe. This is why a man of God can step into a land all of a sudden a keyboard, This comes, a guitar, risk comes a media person comes and you are thinking, how did they get them? You don't get them. They are attracted by the health of your relationship. And listen, the deeper you are with the Holy Ghost. The more you exhibit those magnetic properties. Have you seen how go to the port, the seaport, You have a number of them here. Have you seen magnet lift cars? Very heavy cars, very heavy? You know, maybe bosses whatever it is, And you're wondering, I mean, it just turns itself on it and picks it up like a fly and moves it somewhere else. Pick containers. That's how you can be. You can grow. Your relationship with the Holy Ghost to a point where you exhibit such strong magnetic influences, not just to heal, not just to prosper. When you step into a territory is like a sound. Deep calls onto deep. Every body and everything that must partner with your best. Piny starts to grab the tate towards you. It is true. So the next time you ask, how shall these things be? Seeing that I know not a man, the answer is still what Gabriel told Mary, the Holy Ghost it will always be him. You can't take him away, and we're not just talking of falling down and standing up. No, we have sobbed undilutilized his ministry, especially Pentecostals and Charismatics. We've reduced him to some kind of Penecostal gibberish. We've not tapped into the wisdom the health of that relationship. You can prove that you are blessed by the dominion that your life commands. You can prove that you have met Christ. You can prove the health of your relationship. I receive, I manifest your palth. And eloisom till the nations cigs. Lived there, so that I received. I'm man faith, You're power, and you read. To the chance seizes lifted up. Someone's self. Tell me I'm blessed. Now you know what you are saying. Say I'm blessed. If you mean I'm rich, you are not wrong. If you mean I'm favored, you're not wrong. If you mean I go forward, you're not wrong. Put them who are the called according to his purposes. Say I am blessed because I'm like a tree that is planted by the river side. I don't I don't wither, and I bear my fruit in season. Everything I do cross I say I'm blessed because I may not see the wind, I may not see rain, but by the Holy God, my faly shall be killed by I can't say I'm blessed, because by that energizing I can run through a troop, and by. My God, I can live over a wall. Say I'm blessed. Because I'm a channel of blessing everyone's and I shake. I'm a transmit of life. I can be a cause. I'm not a pardon to my world. I'm a blessing. Say I'm blessed, blessed. This right here is a theology of the blessing. Thank you Jesus, Thank you, Jesus, Thank you Jesus. Hallelujah. So we're tied here for now. Let me encourage you make whatever sacrifice you can to be here tomorrow. But just tonight, we just laid a few foundations so that when we build, you'll be like one of your buildings, the tallest. That from that altitude you will watch life and take it like an animal. I truly believe that there will be remarkable testimonies some of you between tonight and tomorrow. Believe me, and I speak to you by the spirit of God. You see one of. The ways to receive from men is to find out whether they are blessed. If they are, then trust what comes from them, because the Holy Goost becomes in us a river that flows, and the Bible says it gives life Ezekil forty seven Revelations, John chapter nine. It gives life, Allelujah. Allow me for. One moment to make an autar call. We spoke about the blessing of Abraham. That's where it starts. If you ignore the blessing of Abraham. It's not about the name. It's about the protocol, the strategy. It was just credited to one man. Are we together? Like? Imagine you call this hole Joshua Sealman Hall. Whether I'm alife or dead, you just gave me the honor for whatever reason. That's what it means. The blessing of Abraham does not just mean it is Abraham's blessing. His name was tied to it in honor to the fact that you obeyed God, he heard God. Are we together? I'm going to make the outar call in one minute, and please let's minimize any movement. There will always be an opportunity for someone to make it right. I'm not just calling you to be a Christian. I'm not just calling you to be a fanatic. I'm not calling you tonight to be another religious person. The blessing of Abraham is the key. Now I've explained it, you can begin to come everom before I make the call. Hold on, let me just express what I'm saying. God, bless yourself. You're coming. Please come, you can make your way to the front. Come allelujah, and all others would need to join him, begin to join him before I make that call. You are receiving tonight the blessing of Abraham. You are following that pathway that will show me the path of life. It is in your light. God, bless you. Come. I see my precious brothers and sisters coming. Are you celebrating them? Come? Thank you. He gives you a new beginning. There's always a new beginning with him. Come, come, Come, let's encourage him. Let's let them know that this promise is unto you and to your children and to your children's children. Everyone listen. Let's let them know that they do not have to cry the cry of Isou again. No, it's in abundance. For everyone's our cried because it was one pronouncement and it went to Jacob. But today we can rejoice from end to end, from north to southeast and west. Everyone can be a partaker. This is powerful. Listen by the message of God. I've traveled around. The world taking this glorious gospel, the wisdom the life of Jesus. Can I tell you something I've learned fast. Or people are not really rebels, is that they do not understand the gospel. Every time the Gospel is presented with intelligence, with clarity, I can tell you this from everywhere, Jesus will always. Be received if He's presented properly. The problem is the presentation. To my brothers and my sisters, those of you who have come, I salute you, Thank you for the courage. I tell you this. Jesus came to give us beyond a religion. He didn't just come to make us Christians. The word Christian was a testimony from unbelievers. They looked at those who were possessors of the life of God, and they had to look for a name to call them. Nothing wrong in being called a Christian, you see. One of the difference between the faith life and every other faith practice I know is that it goes beyond the realm of rituals and proposes to you a relationship, a relationship. That is personal personal. Like we said back home, when you go to a habber list or some diviner, you don't need a relationship. You don't need to know his name. Just obey the rules. And if it's to tell you something about your destiny, they turn the ball and do whatever and tell you what they tell you, and you leave. But when you come to Jesus, he does not give you things, gives you himself. Himself is the gift. He gives you his life. Then he gives you access to His spirit, to my brothers and sisters who are here. It doesn't matter what you have done or what you have not done. I still sense that there are a few people who perhaps are still contemplating joining them. Don't be ashamed. I will always say this is like calling you to receive an award, only that this is the no bless you can never find in this side. Of God's kingdom. Perhaps you are seated and you are still dely darling. You are an apostle. I came out the other time, but as it stands, I cannot say that my life is working consistent with God's desire you at liberty to join them before I pray that prayer. This is a family. Nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever my Bible says. For God so loved you, He loved me. God, bless yourself, and he gave his son. You know why he gave his son because there was a verdict that all men had seen every one of us, that we've fall in short of that standard. But that he gave his son as a demonstration of love. And here's the point. Whoever believes in him believes what believes. Number one, that he loves you. Number two believes that he has your interests at heart, and that he's demonstrated that by giving Jesus, And that if you believe that report at that. Instant like you, will be happening to you. Shortly you may not feel. It, but this is an eternal fact that whosoever believes in him should not perish. But have life everlasting. I describe for you in one minute what will happen to you as you make this declaration. Eternal life, the very life of God, not the God kind of life, the very life It's so planted in your human spirit and the Holy spirit. Now has access to dwell within you. He begins to culture you, he begins to lead you. He guides me through the path of righteousness. For his namesake. One more time, I want to say thank you for the courage. I don't know you, but I love every single one of you. It always pays to start with Jesus, and for some to start afresh. Let me request that you lift your right hand as a sign of surrender to this Jesus you imagine. Just take me out of the sin and just imagine the lover of your soul, the one who died for you when he hung upon that cross. It was not the nails that held him. He saw you. You were worth the death. Even if you were the only person on earth he would still die. What love You have trusted things of lesser value with your life, your time. Give him a chance and let him turn you to a sign and a wonder. Say this after me, as loud and as clear as you can, and let me speak to someone who is connected online or by television. Here in Leicester. Jesus is winning, saving, leading, drawing many to himself. I like you to join these are precious ones and say this after me. Say Lord, Jesus, tonight, I have heard your word. I've heard that you love me. I've heard that you died for me, and I believe that report. I believe you are the son of God. I believe you died for my sin. I believe you rose again for my justification. Right now I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior. My Lord. That's the Holy ghost we just thought about him. Remember I told you the justification by faith gives room to the blessing. He's just giving witness to it. Let it not distract you. Say from tonight, I'm a child of God, washed by the blood of the Lamb. I live for Jesus all the days of my life. Amen. With your hands lifted, I pray for you, Father, Thank you for these precious ones. The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will in no wise cast away. These ones have come, declaring your lordship over their lives. Therefore, I declare this instant that the power of sin, satan, hell, the grave, addictions, every kind of thing whatsoever that does not represent the Christ. Let it give way right now in the name of Jesus Christ. I call you bona fide recipients of the life of God. And I decree and declare that the joy of salvation is yours. From hence you will live for Jesus all the days of your life. In Jesus' muchless name. We pray now praise the name of the Lord. Here's a favor I want you to do for me. There are counselors who have been trained to have a word with you. Do pray with you, just for a minute or two. Thereafter you'll be back to your seats. Please do cooperate with them. Let me request that you move to. My right, and then you just follow them. Those on the
