Tonight, I want to share very sharp message, very quick message that is needed for the season. And by the way, you are welcome to the Ember month. God does call it month of destruction, month of terror, but for us is a month of supernatural possibilities, many supernatural possibilities. Not one hair of your head will fall to the ground. You will enter dimensions of breakthrough. You will step into realms of glory, you will step into realms of empowerment. You will shift into new dimensions in the name of Jesus, Alleluyah. So tonight, very quickly, I want to share with us on a subject I've titooed, the mystery of the hand of God, because most of us need the manifestation of the hand of God in our lives. The Bible said, the secret things belong to God. It's about the things that are revealed. They belong to us and to our children forever. Deuteronomy twenty nine, verse twenty nine. The secret things belong to God. It's about the things that are revealed. They belong to us and to our children forever. Most of the things that are meant for your advantage are shrouded in mysteries, and they are not shrouded in mysteries because you cannot access them. They are shrouded in mysteries because the devil will have nothing to do about it. First or more, Augustan from Carduna go to see you. You're welcome, glory to God. The reason God shrouds these things in mystery is because of your glory. It's for your glory. And so when a reality shrouded in mysteries, even if the devil tries to stop it, everything he does translate to an advantage for you. So he said, we speak mysteries amongst them that are mature. First Clarentians too. From verse seven to verse nine, he said, these mysteries are designed for your glory. This is the same mystery that made the devil miscalculate his attack on Jesus. If he knew. Better, he would have left him because Jesus needed to be killed so that you pay the price for the sins of men. And so while the devil talked killing him was going to stop him, killing him was actually designed to advance his costs on the face. Of the earth. Say, if the princess of this world had known, they would not have crucified the Lord of Glory. So the power of mysteries is that you can't do anything about it. If you fight it your advances for them. If you leave it, it will still advance. Norwithstanding, And so God has shrouded our blessings in mysteries. It is therefore our responsibility to search them out, he said. The secret of the Lord is with them that fear him. He said, But the honor of kings is to search out the matter. Our responsibility in the Kingdom of Light is to escavate secrets that are meant for our advantage glory to God. And so, when you. Look at Christians who are not necessarily making progress in life, the problem is not their condition. The condition is actually a byproduct of the problem. The condition is an alarm that they have a problem. The problem of many Christians is their ignorance, their inability to access the mysteries that are available to them. So for every one of us. We can access them if we are willing, Because the Bible said that according as its divine power. Second Peter one, verse three and four. He said, he has given on to us all things that pertends to life and godliness. All things has already been given to us. He said, what accessing. It is through the knowledge of Him that called us to glory and to virtue. If you read verse four of this scripture, it will literally scare you because when it spoke about glory and virtue, you think it's just an improved life. That's not. What it's talking about is talking about a class of existence that is at the level of divinity. Because verse four, he said, weereby I give. Go onto us exceeding great and precious promises. He said that by this we might be protect us of the. Divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world to loss. So glory and virtue here is not an upgraded life, it's actually a divine life. Is the ability to express the divine life. That's why I tell you most of the time that Christianity is Divinity expressed through humanity. God wants us to function at the class and the realm of God. But the key is knowledge. He said, according as his divine power, he has given us all things that pertend to life and godliness, and all these things is to bring us to glory and virtue. But he said it's through the knowledge. And so if we don't have knowledge, we'll have a problem. And this is why for the last four to five weeks we've been studying spiritual principles and realities that gives us an advantage as we walk through life. We looked at the fear of the Lord, we looked at intimacy with God, we looked at the blessings of God, and we've been dealing with this subjects one after the other. I pray that God helps you to go back, listen to these messages, study them, and apply them. Your life will not be the same. I've told you time and again that is a place for men to minister to you. But God's superior purpose for your life is to function in the God class. Because the men who are ministering to you, if they are waiting for others to minister to them, they may be in trouble. And I'm not saying there's no godly people don't minister to if you have become so big, no matter how big you are, you are going to have an accountability company of friends and brothers the minister to you. But largely people who make impact they make impact because they found something in God and they keep engaging it. So having people to minister to you sometimes can become a limitation. Jesus himself was speaking, and he said, it is better for you that I depart. He say, if I do not depart from you, the holy goals will not come. I mean, what will be better than having Jesus in bodily formed ministering to you every day. That is God visibly working with you. But God in a visible form says, his presence with you as a man is a limitation. He said, for that it's important for him to go so that the holy gos will come for you to be able to function like him. So, no matter how important men are, and men are really important, I've taught you that many times. But no matter how important men are, you must understand that superior to the presence of men as secrets and principles that you must understand and apply for yourself. Because no matter how important men are, you will not always have them. But anything you have learned, anything you have mastered, remains with you forever, and any day, any time. You can take advantage of it. This is why we are studying these truths and the realities. They are secrets, but they are designed to be a blessing for the believer, and so tonight we want to look at the mystery of the hand of God. Glory to God. Usually when I teach along these lines, I like to take our time to expound on their not told me of God. You know exid Us four, Chapter. Four, from verse fifteen to nineteen, God spoke exhaustively through his prophet to the children of Israel, emphasizing the fact that he doesn't have a form. Glory to Jesus. God kept emphasizing, and he didn't want them to make any image of him because it does not have a form. It's a major emphasis if you study the scriptures from verse fifteen to verse nineteen. Notwithstanding, in Jesus, God decided to take upon the form of a man so that God could relate visibly. Are you following this? The Bible said, they please the Father that the fullness of the god Head should dwell in him bodily. So in Jesus Christ, God adopted the form of a man so that he could manifest in the semilitude of a man in order for man to be able to interact with him. But if you don't understand that the propensity of God's oppression is beyond that, you may be studying Jesus like studying a man and not studying the God, because when. Jesus talks, his words are beyond the. Speakings of man. So you need to understand that in Jesus, God was adopting the form of a man to find expression. But when Jesus returns to glory in the fullness of the god Head, there are propensities that he would not manifest in that form. So if you really want to understand the depths and the dimensions of God, you need to take out time to start these scriptures to understand what every aspect of the figurine of man is so that. You can even appreciate. For instance, Jesus said, the words that I speak, they are not informative. He said, they are spirit and their lives, their life. What does that tell you? It tells you that when Jesus is talking, is beyond a man speaking. He's communicating spirit and life. So it tells you that the wars of God are not the wors of a man. But many people who relate at that level are zum that the scripture is historic, the scripture is informative, but they don't know that the voice of God is beyond communicating facts because they don't understand that Jesus is human form expressing God. But God has dimensions that he will not express in. That form, and so for you to. Understand those dimensions you have to go back to scripture to start the more what am I saying? For instance, if you look at the hand of Jesus, you can compare to your hand and assume this is God's hand. If you look at the face of Jesus, you can compare to your face and assume this is the face of a man. If you look at Jesus's feet and is working, you can assume these. Are two legs. The purpose is for walking, But you do not know. That in this context, Jesus was just trying to express God using human form. But the feet of God is beyond working. That's why John saw him in the Isle of Patmos. Do recognize him because there has been an intensification. That Jesus Is saw in Galilee was not the same Jesus Is saw in Revelation, because God has begun to amplify more. Of himself, more of himself. It's until you go into scripture and begin to such and study beat by bit you will not appreciate Jesus, and you will not appreciate who God. Is in his fullness. Now, if you go into the scriptures quickly, there are few things you are going to discover. For instance, the voice of God. In the context of God's fullness, his rulership. So when God speaks, his voice is not information. His voice is government. So if you don't know the form of God, you may hear God and assume God is educating you, and you may think if God speaks, you have a choice in the matter. Until you understand God and come back to apply who God is in Christ, you will not really function with God sufficiently. This is why sometimes it's important to study who God is before we will study the. Man Christ, so that we can appreciate. The full import of who he is. The voice of God is his government. Every time the government of God is to find the expression God speaks, you may understand what he's saying if he chooses to grant it. What is beyond understanding, it's beyond fact. I give you scriptures to fascinitate it. Revelations one, verse fourteen and fifteen. When Jesus appeared to John in Revelation, he said his head and his hair were white like woo and white as snow, his eyes as flame of fire, his feet like onto brass, as if they bond. In the fullness. And his voice is a sound of many waters that speaks of dominion. So the voice of God is the expression of his government. If you don't know this, even when you see Jesus, you will not appreciate him well because in the body the form, Jesus was using human figure to express God. But God in his essence is bigger than the figure. That's why he said, I don't have the form. The fullness of God is in Christ. But the expression I am propensities that Christ could not even manifest, because if he did, this head would have melted. For instance, how can you arrest him? That means Jesus decided to shut down the propasity of God. Decided because if he manifested in the fullness of God, you can't hold him. If you are approach him, you will die. So that Jesus we saw in Nazareth is full God, but propensity diminished, so that they can relate with men. Are you following this? If you want to know him, you will have to know him in different layers of glory, like Joe went to the Isle of Partners and could do recognize the man he was working with for three and a half years, because at that point when Jesus spoke, he was in now a conversation between brethren. It was government expressed, and he said his voice was like the sound of many waters. So if you want to start the voice of God. You may need to go deep into scripture to understand what the voice of God means. That means if you don't know God's government, you don't know his voice. Even if he talks to you, you don't know his voice. Auntie, you begin to tremble because you know that his voice is government. You have not known the voice. You can article let few scriptures and say when God talks, I can't pick it. It doesn't mean you know it. You know the voice of God. They did. The voice of God becomes government to you, and that may take you deepstarties in scripture and in the spirit to know it. Number two, the feet of God. The feet of God is not two legs walking. If you see Jesus come to your house and he walked in, you can give him a seat and appreciate him for coming, because he is expressing God through human form. Are you following? But what you don't know is that those two legs walking in the context of deity is deeper than what is carrying him about, because God doesn't need legs to walk, So when you talk about the feet of God, you are not talking what gives him mobility. The feeth of God speaks of dominion. Anyway, God's tafts becomes his. So if Jesus comes to a place, what you may not know is that he has taken over that place is dominion. And somebody may see Jesus walking to a place and still be enslaved in that place because he doesn't know that when God can, he became God's territory because it doesn't know more about the feet of Jesus. So even though he saw Jesus, he still. Saw his two legs giving him mobidity, and he assumed this is all there is about the feet of Jesus or the feet of God. The feet of God is not two legs. The feet of God in spiritual context is dominion. So Jesus use human form to represent feet, but feet is begun walking in the spirit. When we talk about the feet of God, we are talking about dominion. Some one one zero, verse one. He said, the Lord said, onto, my Lord, sit down at my right hand until I make thy enemies thy foots too. So everywhere God puts his legs is dominio. So when we are talking about the feet of God, we are talking about God's dominion. So every thirdy about dominion, it's a revelation of God's fit. Every thirdy about God's or thority and law is the revelation of God's voice. Every stody about God's purity and agelessness is a revelation of his hair. So the heir of God is not the type you go and cut in the barbin salon. The heir of God is beyond what a barbie can caught. Meanwhile, when Jesus was alive, it wasn't cuptured in scripture. But maybe he cut his hair once in a while, and the person cutting it, my say, turned this way, turned that way. He doesn't know what is touching, because this is God manifesting through human form. But what is touching is beyond hair that he is cutting. Because in spiritual con notation, the heir of God speaks of his purity and his agelessness. So every time the Bible talks about God's hair, you are going to see these two factors manifested. So when we say ancient of this, we are referring to his hair. When we say holy, I'm peore, we are referring to his hair. This is what That's why God say have no form, because when you now got put it together, you'll discover this are dimensions co located together. Government and dominion is in his feet, Authority is in his voice. His heir speaks of edgelessness and purity. Let me give you scriptures. Write them down, Go and study Daniel seven. Verse nine, And I beheldy the. Thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and his hair or and the hair of his head like pure woo. His throne was like fairy flame, and. The wheels borne with fire. So you see that every time you talk about God's hair, you talk about edgelessness, you talk about purity. Revelations one, verse four. It was reiterated there the butty, agelessness and purity. So when they so Jesus, they thought he was a young man, because Jesus was God in human form, and Jesus look at them and told them before Abraham was I am. They say you are not yet fifty years and you say you saw Abraham. You are a young man. Why are you blasphemy? They didn't know that the one they were dealing with was ageless, because he was God expressed to human form. If they knew, they would have known that he looks more in stature or his ageless. And so if you don't study the scripture, you will know what everything that God when we talk about God, what they represent. And I'm saying this because I want to talk to you about the hand of God, so that you will know that the hand of God is beyond this. Because you may see the picture of Jesus Christ and see this and think when we say handle God, this what we mean, and there you are won't dreaming, and you imagine God shook you. What we are saying here is beyond this. This is not biology. We are talking spiritual mysteries, Glory to God. Revelations one fourteen. He said his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes as flames of fire. So the hair of God speaks of what agelessness. Every time we say we see God's hair, we're talking about ancient of this. We're talking about agelessness, We're talking about purity. We're not talking about this. Every time we say we saw God's feet, we're talking about dominio. So if God, for instance, steps into. The government of Nigeria and bring righteousness, that revelation is his feet. So when you are talking it's only a spirituma. We understand that you are talking about dimensions in God. And then the eyes of God speaks of judgment. So when a man tell you I saw the eye of God, don't image in two eyes, because the drawing of Jesus you saw were two eyes is deeper than that. Jesus needed this so that man can interact with God. But the dimensions are deeper than what biology can present. When we say we see. The eyes of God, it means we are saying we have seen the judgment of God. So what happened in Sodom was the eye of God. That's why Revelations one fourteen said his eyes were like burning torches. Those are the eyes that God looks upon iniquity, and it's burnt off. When our work on earth is over, it will pass through the Master. When the service are come before the judgment sit or Christ, some people will be shocked at the end of time. Second correctelance five ten. When you appear before Jesus, you will look at his eyes. You now discover the eyes of God are beyond two balls. What you will now confront with the. Judgment and then your walks we pass in a second and you will be judged. You are interacting with the eyes of God. Their eyes are like torches, they are flames of fire. That's what God uses for judgment. And that's not all the face of God tricks of God's presence. If this service come to a point and the presence of God becomes heavy, so heavy that some people can't stand anymore, what is happening at that point is is that God looked upon the service. That's the face of God. You know these things are important because most of us are interacting with God every day, but we don't know because we don't know his dimensions. There are times when God comes into your life and insists that you must do something, and then you try, like Jonah, you try and try say no, you must what you are dealing with. This is fit, that's dominio. There are times when you do something and God comes and rebukes you and brings ten judgment. What we are dealing with that time is his eyes. So if you understand the dimensions of God, you will know that you are working with God on a daily basis. It will help your intimacy. That's why sometimes even when we are wrong, we still have a relationship with God, because when God judges us, we know that his eyes are upon us, and on account of that we can repent, turn to him and have a relationship with Him because now we understand a little bit about his dimensions. There are times when. You we just sense a heavy burden to repent and you are crying and repenting and transforming. That's the face of God because that brings his presence. The face of God is not this his presence. This is divine and not on me. And many who don't know this can have a strong relationship with God because they don't know what they are dealing with. Pattern Exa Dos thirtives twenty. The Lord said onto my Lord, and the Lord said, thou cannot see my face for no match, just see me and leave the word faces the world panning. It means presence, presence. That's what brings transformation and transfiguration. And so if you study all of this dimension of God, you will learn how to access them and you will know how to utilize them for your glory and for your success and for your progress in life. So there are many people they've worked with God for ten years, but all they have interacted with. Is his fit. So they are faith is expressed through dominion. They go to their job, they take over, they go to relationship, they take over everything they do. They're just exercising and functioning in dominio. But their character is not changing. And if you ask them, they will tell you they are very spiritual people because they have this victory. They have that. Victory, they have that victory, but you can't see God in their character. That's because for the past ten years they're dealing with only the feet of God. They have not understood that there's a face dimension to God, so there's no transformation in their lives. They don't understand that there's an eye dimension to God, so there's no judgment. They have never had conviction about anything. They don't understand that there is there is they head dimension to God that is ageless, and it demands purity and so every dealing and interaction they have must be governed by purity. It doesn't mean much to them, so they work with God. It is only one side that and they know one aspect of God and that's all they are working with. So the reason we take time to explain this is not to complicate spirituality, but it's to let you know that God has many dimensions and if you are relating with God, you must relate with all of those dimensions of God. This is what makes God who he is. They said, dominion part of God. There is a judgment part of God. There's a transformative part of God. There is a purity aspect of God. There is a judgmental aspect of God. Don't know only one side of God, you will not be strong. And this is the undoing of many believers. They've been Christians for long, but they're not only one side of God. And that's why I'm taking time to explain all of this to you. So when you are reading your Bible and you see the eye of God, the first thing that you come to your mind is judgment. That means our God judges, and it's better you judge yourself before you are judged. If you're studying the scripture and you hear the feet of God, you know it's dominion, and the protocols that governed judgment are different from the protocolst that governs dominion. If you're reading your Bible and you hear government, yes, you no, you are talking about the voice of God. If you're reading your scripture and you hear presence or face of God, you should know he's dealing with God's presence. So that even your understanding of scriptures may become well organized. Because there are times when you see people dealing with God. The Bible is talking about the presence of God, and the way God deals with those people is completely different from the way God deals with other people. And you are wondering, why did God show message to this person? And when it came to this person, God was so harsh, and you are not finding it difficult to ban to balance the scripture. This person did the same thing. This one did the same thing, this one was encouraged. This one was Joe. For example, when Gebrae came to Mary, the self question Mary asked was the same question Zachariah asked. Zachariahs became dumb. Mary received the explanation, and then you're ready your scripture. You're like, is God biased? Now that there are many contexts to that. I'm not going into it. But if you understand God's dealing, you now say, oh, oh, the time God was tricked to me was because it was his eyes that I was dealing with. Oh, the time God was using me to do one, that's what's because it was his feet I was dealing with. You now understand the different protocols for relating with God, and then you'll be able to explain certain things in scripture and your faith will not be contradicted. And all of the aspects of God when mentioned the scripture, you are going to see that they have different explanation, like the heart of God, like the back of God. These are different things that scriptures speak about. You need to take time to study and find out what they mean, because as you deal with God on a daily basis, you are going to see different aspects of his dimensions. You may not be able to. Recognize it in Christ because you didn't understand it from this scriptures before you meet Christ, so you may miss a lot of things. When you are reading about Jesus Christ. It will take your understanding of the Gospel to be able to balance it. This is why many people think that, oh, when you are dealing with Jesus, it's only about messy and forgiveness. When they meet Jesus in eternity, they'll be. Shocked because they didn't know that it was only one aspect of God they were able to inferre from him. But God, Jesus carries the fullness of the God Head. Tonight, my focus is on the hand of God. So I want to take time to expound on the hand of God so that somebody can make the most of it. If I feel led to teach along these lines, I also come back and deal with the face of God. That's where we talk about God's presence, the laws that God man, the presence of God, because there's a way to activate God's presence and there's a way to activate God's power. There are two different things. When you find a spirit to a man who is killed, he can open up any dimension of God that he wants. You can come for certain service. Because you are present in that service, you will leave and discover that the whole of that month you are having victory and dominion everywhere. The guy knew what he tached. You can come for all the services, and for the whole of that month you are weepin and repenting, we pin and repenting for the whole month. The person who was on the altar knew what he was dealing with. He can enter the economy of God's face, and that month can be a month of transformation. He can enter the economy of God's fit. That month can be a month of dominio. All of that is a function of spiritual intelligence, and every Christian must understand how to access the different dimensions of God. There are people who are so transformed, they live so holy, but they are defeated in life because the principles that government transformation is different from the principle that governed dominio. And there are people who are domini everywhere in life, but they can't manage their appetites. If you bring them into business, they takeover. Bring them into a territory, they takeover. But they are struggling with iniquity because they have understood out to access the dominion dimension, but they don't know the transformative dimension. One is the. Feet of God, the other is the face of God. They don't understand this and they don't know why their life is full of contradiction. Power yet function in different dimensions. Look at this electricity, for instance, the same current, one is producing sound, another is producing code. Are using the difference, another is producing illumination, but same correct As we are sitting in this auditorium, if everywhere is lit and there's no sound, will be frustrated in this service. The problem is not that current is not available. The problem is that we have been able to access only one dimension, and they will be light yet, but nothing will happen. And then if we have light and volume and these ass go off in ten minutes, half of the people here we go out. Those who will remain who will be matter us. You will sweat here and you'll be wandering. See some people, we will faint because of the sweat. It's current lacking no dimension. Converters are lacking. And that's the problem with many Christians. Some of you have so much light in your life, but you don't have volume. Some of you have so much light, but you don't have air conditioning system. So you have your light, you have your volume. You are screaming and shouting, but you are dying. If they don't hurry you will faint. There. We need to understand the laws, the protocols of accessing all of the dimensions of God. So don't be holy and suffer, and don't have dominion and be sinful. You need the baller. But they are protocols. Glory to God, Glory to God. All of these things are in Christ. But it will take a wise teacher to dig God of it out and tell you Christ is beyond you are saved. There are dimensions to every aspect of Christ. This is how you deal with God's voice. This how you deal with God hand God's hand. This how you deal with godsfeit. And there you discover that your life will become a holistic success story. Glory to Jesus. Tonight, let's look at the hand of God. When we speak about the hand of God, we are talking about his authority, his sovereign authority, expressing part time. See, there are different dimensions of authority in the spirit. There is the authority of the believer, and I've taught you that extensively. For example, your nature. You are born into the family of God, so you have certain authorities as a born again Christians. You have God's dna, you are seated with Christ in heavenly places. Your revelation of. Where you are with Christ can bring you into certain levels of authority, and then your obedience to the world of God can also confess seting authorities on you. When we talk about the authority of the believer, we are talking about a call an accumulation of the authority he has because of his DNA, the authority has because of his revelation of his position with Christ, and the authority he has because of his work of obedience to the Holy Spirit. These three put together gives you authority in the spirit. As a believer. But there is also a context where God decides to exercise his sovereignty on a man's life. That sovereign expression of God's authority on a man's life part time is what we call the hand of God lod It is an expression when the hand of God is in manifestation. You are going to notice that sometimes natural laws are suspended because that's not the authority of a believer, that's the sovereignty of God walking on the behalf of a man. There are times when the hand of God is in manifestation, and you will notice that even creation recreation can take place. Things that don't exist can be brought into existence. Those things are not the prerogatives of a believer. There are dimensions in God that can be hosted on men from time to time. That's why you read your Bible. You're here and the hand of God was upon him. That is God deciding to put his sovereignty on you momentarily. And it's a dimension of authority that we must wield from time to time. See, there are certain situations you will get into that you may not have enough revelation to be able to generate the power to do it. There are certain situation you will enter. Your obedience potion will not be enough to handle. There are certain situation you enter that although you know you are born of God, you may not be able to handle. It is in such instantaneous places that God moves his hand, and when the hand of God moves, all imaginable things happen for that period that his hand is at work. Is sovereign authority expressed not through God but through human vesul Now, when we speak of sovereign authority, we are talking about authority that exclusively is expressed by God. Any time God decides to allow a man function in that sovereign authority. It's called the manifestation of the hand of God. It is beyond what is delegated to humankind. This one is a reality that is in the God class. But a man has been permitted to function in part time. It is called the hand of God. And as you read the Bible, both all the New Testament, you will find it that once in a while, men tap into sovereign dimensions. When Gideon says to the son stands still, says to the moon, don't move, those are sovereign dimensions. It is not part of the believers of authority to rule the constellations. Those are the powers of God. But there are times when God allow men to Did you read that scripture? He said, there has never been a day like that, And he said, neither would there be in the day that God hacking to the voice of a man. So God decided to submit his sovereignty to a man part time. It's literally saying a man became a God for a moment. That's what this authority represents. And he said dimension God has allowed us to tap into from time to time, And as you walk in life, you will need it. Look at the apostles of Jesus and ask that the fall. After they preach Christ did miracles and a lot of things. They were arrested, They were beaty, and certainly their authority depleted, confidence, faith, everything depleted. And they went back to their company and prayed. And what was the prayer? They says, straight for thy hand. We want you to manifest your sovereignty for this season. Strat for Thy hand that science and wonders may be done in the name of the Holy Child. So there are times when God decides to release his sovereignty. It's not what God does all the time, because if God begins to do it all the time, he will take over creation. Creation will now be run by God. So God does not manifest his sovereignty at all times because he doesn't want to run creation. He wants men to run creation. But there are times when if God does not stepping things, we go wrong. At those times God steps in. We call it the hand of God. And there are five dimensions of the hand of God. When it comes upon a man, five things happen. And you need it. Believe me, believe me, believe me, you need it. The prophets needed it. Their persons needed it you we need it. I'm telling you. First dimension of the hand of God is creative power. When the hand of God goes. Into manifestation, creative power, the power of creation is released. Your way discovered that what was not can be introduced into the equation. You know that that's the hand of God at work. Did you remember when King Hezekiah received the judgment that he was going to die, and the man turned and wept and told the Lord, I have served you with the perfect heart. The Bible said. Before the prophet walked out of the place, God told him go back, tell him I've added fifteen years to his life. He did, is say, I've given him fifteen years. He said, I've added that fifteen years to his life. So if he was to leave sixty, I've made it seventy five. That means you will not only die, you will live to your age, but I've added fifteen years to that lifestyle. So there is addition. What was not is brought into equation. It's called the hand of God. And we will need There are times when you need those dimensions for things that are not see. There are some of us here that some things are. Happening in your life. That were not part of your prophetic destiny? Did you read your bible? The partible of the talent? He gave one five le The guy treaded and got another five. He said, take tensities. The one that he gave one didn't do anything. When the master came, he now gave a law. He said, to him that has and desires to have more, he said, him that does not have and does not desire to have, He said, let they need to he has be taken from him, and give it to the one that has and want to have more. That means that one that that thing was not part of his destiny. But there is a recalculation of possibilities in human interaction, that something what was in this man's destiny was to rule tensities, but somebody else had one city and he didn't do anything with it. God now said, your destiny, because of your success, is to rout tensities. Now we are making it a level because somebody has failed. So we are taking from him and adding to you. This is not part of your your ordination, but we are adding to your ordin. So there's a possibility where what was not in your destiny can be brought in those are creative powers. And only when the hand of God manifest will some things happen. And so you need these things from time to time as you walk through life. Let me show you a few things some ninety five vers. Five. Because creation itself there is an expression and operasion of the hand of God. He said, the sea is his, and he has made it. And they said, and his hand formed the dry ground. So the power for creation is in the hand of God. And so every time the hand of God is in manifestation, creation is possible. Isaiah forty eighth, verse thirteen. My hand also had laid the foundation of the earth, and my right hand has spanned the heaven when I called onto them up together. So everything about creation, it's a manifestation of God's hand. When we say possibilities can be borne, it's because we are saying there is a caveat in God's interaction with man where his sovereigntic and step in, and where things that are not can be brought into the equation. He said, although the valley may be empty, the heavens there may be no cloud, they said, but they will be feed with water. Where did that water come from? That one didn't it's not a product of of evaporation and the what's the world now? Evaporation and condensation. That's a product of creativity, he said, As thou know it not how the bones are formed in the womb of her that is with child, he said, So so know it not doubt the ways of this feeling. There is a dimension of creativity in this realm. That's why Jesus said, my father work at until now I also walk. So the same work of creation that God did. God is siri re creating things. God is the reproducing things. God is the altering things and rebalancing things in creation. Man doesn't have that authority. That is not within the context of the authority of the believer. But when the hand of God moves, creativity is possible. Creation is possible, and things that are not can be brought back. Have you not seen some prophetic dimensions where somebody looks at you and said, this thing is not supposed to be there. They said, But in the name of Jesus, let it happen. And it begins to happen. Those creative dimensions I product of the hand of God. They don't happen every day, but they can be provoked from time to time, and there are certain aspects of your life where you need those invocations, those provocations of the spirit. When it happens, it's called the hand of God. Glory to God. So the hand of God sponsors creative powers. Number two, supernatural speed is a product of the hand of God. There are times. When God moves you beyond the laws of principles. There are times when God moves you beyond the laws. That govern creation. You know, the Bible says see time and harvest, shall not see as far as they act remained. That means in this regn no matter what you think, what you saw is what you reap. And if you don't sow, you will never reap. So if you are lazier and you are sleeping, and you say, oh, if I don't do anything, something we happen. Nothing we ever happen. As those who think like that, they ended up in poverty. But there is a possibility when the handle God moves, that God can bring a mind. When the hand of God moves, this is not something that happens, it is not part of principle. But when the hand of God moves, there's a possibility for you to sow to reap where you did not. So you know why we will not teach that because it's not captured in principle. We teach only things that are principle. Because they are universally applicable. But we also know that we are not limited to principles because there are certain manipulations that take place in the spirit realm that brings us an advantage. Jesus was telling the disciples, he said, I have brought you to reap where you did not, so I have brought you to take from where you best told. No labor, I am not violating the laws of the spirit realm. Have just upgraded you to a new realm in this moment. So there are times when the handle God moves and you are brought into possibilities that you don't merit when you see those things happen in a man's life, not that the hand of God is upon him and we need it. I'm telling you see, there are so many times in life when you are overwhelmed. Oh, You've tried everything and. Nothing is working, either because you adversaries are superior to you or because the systems have repeared against you. There are many who have been there. Everything you taught them to do. They have worked hard, they have worked smutly. They have honored people that they should honor everything. They have been fretful, freithful for decades. But what is working for others is not working for them. And everything they need to do they have done, but nothing is happening. In such situation, God comes in to balance the equation is sovereignty, because if it doesn't, they're certain people that they justice system will not favor. And so when God says that, what God does is that he releases his hand so that the ad speed to their life. Although if I leave you, this team may take you a lifetime and you'll not get there. But there's a system in the spirit. I can put speed on you that you didn't merit. I can put speed on you that is not a function of your energy. It's not a function of your calculation. It's God, the hand of God. And those who know how to provoke the hand of God. This is what happens in their life. And others sit down and they're angry. This person just came yesterday. Why see they want doing This is the hand of God. Don't fight, go and look for the secrets. I'm telling you see this spirit, their spirit drevem is a deep read. It's not everything that we can sit down. You know. This thing is the even share. I'm careful to say it because if you don't say it well, it can become like a blasphemy of some sort. God, these are realities in the spiritual. I'm telling you, they are deep realities in the spiritual. You find certain people forgotten at their back. Thirty years, you think their life is over. Forty years, you think their life is over. Certainly, the hand of God comes upon them. They move to the front and they do in three years what their colleagues use fifty years to do. And then what is going on is the operation of the hand of God. This is why you need the hand of God in your life. It is an expression of his sovereignty. And within the context of God's sovereignty, it can be wrong. He's not violating the law, but is transcending the law. He's operating beyond the law. When Jesus has senter to Heavil, he didn't break the law of gravity. He just went higher. He went higher. So the hand of God causes you to function at higher realms, higher tresshood, so that laws and principles can bind you. Is an operation in the spirit. See our Christianity will become consequential when, in addition to the principles we practice, we also begin to take advantage of the mysteries that are available to us. The hand of God he gives a man speed Isaiah forty six eighteen, rather from verse forty one to forty six, or let's go to forty five. I'll come back to that scripture later. Say the hand of God at work here, Isaiah eighteen forty five and forty six. Where are these white people? Now? Get this scripture? Isaiah, sorry forgiving me first kings eighteen forty six, he said, And the hand of the Lord was upon Elijah. That was all, even if he was lame. It's not a facto. It's no longer about legs. It's no longer about what you are writing. And the hand of God was upon Elijah. And he gided up his lords and ram ahead of Arab even to the entrance of Jesuy. This was Elijah that said, God, tell Arab to go, there would be a bonds of rain. And he was still there. Now you know that the king has the best chariot, The king. Does he ride the same horse as anybody. The best of the chariots is what the kings ride. And King has. Gone ahead long ago. And suddenly and the hand of the law was upon Elijah, and the king turned and saw somebody passing, meet me at the gate? With me at the gate? What's going on here? He was functioning at another frequency. If the hand of God doesn't come on you in some aspect of your life, if God is messive with your children, that will take over. Because the warfare that has been ganged up against you, your revelation can undo it. Your faith can't handle it. And these people want to kill you and kill your son and frustrate your grandson. How can you turn the table around except by the hand of God. They went and locked you with a bad lock. And somebody is finding. It every day every day, and you don't have faith to deal with it. You don't have consecration to do with it. And thirty years have passed. You are already old. Your son is also growing old. Your grandson too is going into is going beyond teenage age. Have you not seen people like that? Fat I is seventy five, son is fifty nine, grandson is forty two. All of them are looking at themselves like this. Three generations in one house and the enemy we lost tom. Sometimes what God does, He just puts his hand upon one of them and three generations are recovered in one day. That's the power of the hand of God. See, there are some things that happen to you even if you are delivered your life as we're wasted. Have you not seen people who are receiving deliverance at eighty the pass is seventy six, that's when it was delivered. What will you do at seventy six? Your life has already gone. But when the hand of God comes, it injects speed into your life. The way does it is Number one, It can trigger restoration. That means all the. Seasons that passed the hand of God can cost all of them to pass in one day. Seasons that took ten ten, ten years to pass four forty years ceasy can pass in one day, so that your whole world can be replayed in one day and you can maximize it. Oh, it can move you ahead of time so that you can achieve in one day what you could do achieve in forty years. It said technology of the spirit. How do you think God would have carried Elijah into the city. No horse could do it, nothing could make it happen. But when the hand of God comes, the laws of nature are suspended. Their laws are suspend. There the guy out run. You can be better than the king if the hand of God comes upon you. I meet some people who are in ministry. They've been in ministry for party years. They've not even as much as one up to fifty souls. They don't even have where to keep. The few souls they have will teach the world of God, not because they are not sound forces locked. Then when the hand of God comes on the man's life, you will see this person who could make progress in thirty years, suddenly in three months the whole outcome changes. And you are wandering, why did the partners suddenly appear? Why the resources suddenly sure? Why did the miracles as that the happening over night? It's the hand of God who Gloria hen. Oh well be for when he. Before say down for a moment. See I began by telling you the secret things belongs to God. But the things that are revealed, they belong to us and to our children forever. There are times when the only thing you need is for God's sovereign to do show up in the form of authority. It's called the handle God. Imagine a sister that a witch in the village I put a spell on, and she didn't marry until she's fifty five or she's sixty. Which one is a testimony? Is it a marriage? Or is it to die in peace? Even if she gets married, do you know the warfarees that are already accumulated. Even if she gets married at sixty. Number one, people will be talking. It may be difficult for her to have peace. Number Two, she may not be able to give that because the biological get to ways have shut down. Number Three, the person she gets married to, if that person continues to love her in the midst of the talk of people, it will be by the messy of God. So which one without that kind of person called miracle. It's not for the hand of God, but the way God does it. If God enters the matter, she will not just get married. She will give bed the same year. She will not just give bed. God will now bless them financially, relocate them to a place where that we live like kings we are. Nobody can even conclose to talk. All the people that will conclose, we need help, and they will help them. So you will see that twenty miracles happening at the same time. That is the hand of God. Life is colored. And when she gives bet, she won't give back to one, you'll give back to four. And all of those children when they are nineteen, they are all graduated from the university. One is doctor, one is lawyer, one is prophet, another one is governor. And there you understand that the year is that the Parma woman's eating, the year that the caterpillar woman's eating, the year that the locals woman's eating has been got that together and shot into that person's DESI. There are things that. Oh, it's not exercise fate, exercise faith. Is that God show up. They are certain. Iniquity in people's lives, certain wickedness in. People's life that God we said, let's go. Down and see this one if we live it for their faith, their butter is too much. You don't you know you have some batos. There are too many that even though you are experiencing victory, the victory and in consequential you will need and twenty things to happen at the same time to be able to overrun the crisis that you are in. That's why you need the handle God. That's why you need the handle God. I was watching a documentary the other time. A man was wrongly accused and was sentenced to prisy. It was after I think thirty years or so that they some of you know, some of those sites, that they brought the case fire out and vindicated you. When he went to prison and came back, civilization had changed. There was no Internet when he went to prison. There was no handset. Now what will he do? Even the training and the education he had when he went to prison, it's no longer elevant for the world he's coming into. So there's not a miracle unless God. There's many things at the same time. That's why you need the hand of God. I don't know where you are, but I prophesied over someone in this point of September, the hand of God will come upon you. You umber, Gloria, heavy you, Oh, maybe for. Before or sit down? Because of time. I'll give you only three. I have about nine of them here, but because of time. The third manifestation of the hand of God is judgment or your enemies. You know, New Testament theology. The spirit that we have, it's not the spirit that judges. It is a spirit that forgives. Is a spirit of messy. John and his brother the source of thunder law. Leave us, let's cut down fire on this woman. He says, stop that you don't know the spirit that you are off. So in the New Testament, if your brother is against you, seventy times seven times forgiving. So we are called to forgive, to show messy. But the problem is that some people's presence is the death of many others. So you find that you are in a fix, you forgive that person. For two years, five people have died, and it's not willing to repent, and you will not take laws into your hand and start killing. You will have to forgive. You have to show messy. But the more you are showing messy, the more people are dying. He say, somebody that show messy, and the person looks the money that is meant for a whole constituency and stuck is co found with cars and it's going on holidays every day in Dubai. Meanwhile, because of the things that he's doing, costpitos don't have light. People are dying in the in the middle of a pressure, and he has so established himself that he will. Remain there tea he dies. There are certain men. That if you forgive them, is a plague of humanity. But you cannot become angry and say I will forgive them. So you need God, who is the George, to come in, the one who has the rights to george to move, to move. There are some analysts that if they refuse to return, they must die. They must die. That's why I tell you these things are mysteries. If I'm teaching you doctrine and I'm talking from the standpoint of the new creation, I will tell you messy forgiveness. But when God comes in is the one that decides what they can do. And sometimes when it comes in, the thing is so far not the witch to leave. The ahead has to be caught off. That's when you know the prayers of the hand of God. Can I tell you something. There are some people in your family that if they don't die, the next generation no body with life. You will find twenty young men, all of them graduates, no job. He has got into a tree. They are padlocks on those trees. Destinies of young men and women are there, and you are forgiving and forgiving and forgiving. But he can't repent from his wicked new If God is the charge does not come in and say your cop is full, there will be a problem. This is why, from time to time the hand of God needs to man to men, so that judgment will call exced Dos three verse twenty. He said, I weigh stretch forth my hands, and I wigh George Egypt. I will strike them with all my signs and my wonders. I will charge the gods of Egypt, and we kill all their firstbon soon. It's not within the right of Mosses to say all the firstbond soon should die. But when the sovereign comes, he's just when it shows up, he's right. Imagine a woman who has been dating somebody's husband for twenty years. There has not been peace. The woman's children can go to school because this foolish husband will carry the whole money and go and spend on this woman who is not his wife. And this woman does not want to repent. God takes her to many meetings. They are rebuilking people who. Are breaking home. Her heart is like rock, and somebody else is wheeping and crying her children's destinies. I've been frustrated. Meanwhile, there's one stupid gear who is buying iPhones every year with the money. That's your trained children of another family. And you think God will show up When those points become thieves, there will be a problem to society. But it's not their thought that they are thieves. If because their father was foolish and then Jezbel trapped him on her unpit, those are times when they monarch will show up and they will kill that kind of girl and kill her as an example so that others like her will not die it. You will be panned, but you can't kill her because you are not God. But there are times when they handle gods show up, and when they handle God's show up, you will receive prophets will rise, It will become judgment. And the people will die shamefully. It does not contradict the spirit of grace. It is the sovereignty of God that is at one. Acts of their persons starting God read the Bible. Paul was talking to a governor trying to win this man to Jesus, and their sorcerer who has kept that city in Brandy, was with standing poor. He will talk the man we counter, He will talk the man we counter. Don't you want this land to be served? Men at that wicked And then suddenly the hand of God moved and saw toned and said, listen, the hand of God is upon you, you son of wickedness. He said, you shall be blind for his ceasing, And immediately the man was struck. Listen, our enemies, some of them cannot repent. They must be charged because their presence is an affliction to society. I speak over you every dimension of God that needs to appear for the enemies of your destiny, who refused to repent to God. Made it come upon you now. Tjutment. This is what brings the children of God, that of captivity. Think Pharaoh wants to change his mind. Pharaoh, he will never change his mind. Being bonded for four hundred years. Pharaoh enjoys it. In fact, if you discuss about your freedom, you have caused problem. Pharaoh will say, hello, you are thinking of liberty where we don't do your pains. And if they were flogging you with cococo, they will use copy on day so that you are frostrated, never to take It is in such situation that God stretches his heart so that the whole captings of Egypt will be wiped out. It's called the hand of God. I will stretch forth my hand and I will strike Elegypt with all my signs and my wonder. That's why I. Told you the hand of God is not the authority of the believer. Is the or the suffering authority of God manifesting pattime. It can manifest through a believer, and it can even manifest through a donkey. What is the hand of God? Some of you need speed, but others it's not speed you need. You need and needs to be judged. People who are who have vowed that you will not amount to anything over their dead body. Their wishes are granted this night because they will die. Marla Corey, save my ducky. Can you pray the Holy Gods for one minute? Said he a re attacker to al Attire. Shaha Shannah Saada Bella. Let Lord come Vica say say say s carry you back. Some of you. God has helped you, so you don't know. We can't mess it. Those days in Benue. This man first, he's brought us children frost, streight them. When the toil and toil, and toil and toil. If it's about to die, and we go to the Weka covu and exchange their lives for his own. And you see a young person with die. And when they are burying people, those theirs. They will put torch on the left hand, put cotlers on the right hand. Don't let the person that kill you sleep, pur shoot them everywhere. This man had their superior technology. When they bury them, the guy will go through sorcery and then will assume the body. Ah, people don't know. We can death my big brothers. Here. You will see people in the evening. Somebody will be walking and then another person will be coming behind. That's a dead man. They remove them from the grave and they carry them to a location where they are bound darkness. Sometimes when we were young and these people are decious, all those places where they drink gluku too, they will bring the person will sit down there, will save drink. It will look at it like this, it too empty. When they finished, they'll walk with them away and go and bind their soul so that they can't comment them. And they will repeat it chata four years. They will repeaty tat another four years until the whole family is wiped out. When they now suspect those people, sometimes when they comfort berrier, they will beat the elders and you see somebody confess it and the one meanwhile, three people, four people have been killed. You know, wickedness, ice profess over you tonight, every body that has filled a siege that you were not a. Man to anything. As the sun rises tomorrow, their stories end. I was speaking to a woman that had over five miscarriages seven months. They will keep to the child several months, then will eat the child, and. This woman is weeping. That's their joy. There will pass. You were told you you will suffer until we came with judgmental prayers and the spirit of God struck some strong men in the house. That was when the baby was able to cry. So five destinies have been eating on because of somebody's wickedless and what is the problem. Sometimes they said, when she was married into this house, she didn't come to honor us. You are you are? Who are you? She didn't come to greet you. Because of that, you will kill five in us and children. That's the wickedness of men. So when we are talking about these things, it's because there are destinies that will not be realized except as God stretches his hand. There are so many heroes that we're not just die. There will be struck with one that well decay on their throne. Imagine, because he killed James and they saw that the team pleased the Jews. He wanted to kill Peter. You know who Peter is. Because he pleased the Jews. You want to kill Peter. And then if he kills Peter, here. We go for for for for Paul. Such men God stretches. So that they don't just die, they rot and their death becomes. A tale in the in the in the wicked confraternity for orders to tremble at. The mightiness of God. Do you know how many give that people who are standing here this evening, who if they were to manifest, even Nigeria can be delivered. But forces of darkness they will see you tracking for thirty years. You're a think that we have sympathy. Their conscience is like a dead a rock. They feel nothing. In fact, some of them where your track and trek. They will call you and give you a cold water. As they drink. You think they are nice? Where you are going? They say you have not seen anything. You will see trek for another thirty years. That's the wickedness of men. I decree over you every strong and never strong force standing against your destiny. Then we go down for you this morning. Sit down for a moment. Those who say you will not Succeedy, I have made a mistake. The hand of God. Let me add one to help you, the hand of God's pomp sauce, signs and wonders. Because it's one thing to be delivered, it's another thing to manifest the glory of destiny. There are dimensions in your life that will be provoked when the hand of God comes upon you. It's at the hand of God came upon something. He took the gate of the city and climbed to a rock and kept the bear in the mountain. Supernatural feat is carried out by the hand of God. When you see the life of people commanding certain excellences that you can explain, know that something happens to them is called the hand of God. That's why their purstons prayed in acts for thirty that you want it, say straightforth to your hand, that signs and wonders may be done in the name of the Holy Child. And in thirty three they say, and the Lord brought them witness by signs and wonders. And they said, great grace, what's upon them? Some of us need to manifest brilliant colors that men cannot gain. Say, there are certain dimensions that will come out of you. Some of you is dimensions of wisdom in Africa here that they say nothing good can come out of you. Can create something that the white man will take reference from. Some of you is favor faivor that opens doors of nations, commands the allegiance of kings. It's the hand of God. When it comes upon your life, you'll become a wonder to your generation. And how many of us need to be wonders? He said, this science and follow them that belief. We need to carry signs supernatural science that even if they hate us, they can't stop us. Then we die with their pains, Then we die with their wickedness. But that is a circumferends of the supernatural around your life, that their hatred and wickedness can do nothing about it, because you have a reverse protocol. When they set up darkness, you are tied to light because you carry the power for science and wonder is the operation of the hand of God. Come to that point where God breaks out of you in the way that even if your generation hate to you for few destinies, how do you think Jesus subsidient? Even there was healed turned against him. But the animosity counter for nothing, because what was upon this life was superior to the country. First of his generation is the hand of God. And you will not leave this meeting altil those dimensions are provoked in your life. You will come to a point where, even if your whole father's house hate you, you will become bigger than your whole father's house. You will come to a point you are even if your state hate you, you will become bigger than your state. You will come to a point where, even if your country hate you, you will become bigger than your country. Did you not read about job as a own nation despised him, first his father's house, then his nation. But something came upon his life. The elders of Israel got that and went to beg him, come and help us. I prophesy over someone. The hand of God will make a wonder out of your life, that you will become bigger than your adversaries food together. If they are your father's house, you become bigger than your father's house. If they are your state, you become bigger than your state. If they are your nation, you become bigger than your nation. In the name of Jesus. Start in the life of Isaac. The phillish things hate that ding, but the man was unstoppable. A point came. It became so big that the kings came to him and said, you are bigger than us. That's the testimony of somebody from this service. Sit down for a moment, let me round. Though. Although the hand of God is the sovereign expression of God's authority, it can be provoked. They can be provoked. This is why some people live a superior life, because they know what to do to provoke the hand of God. The first way to provoke the hand of God is by deliberately asking for it in your life. See this is why most of you that praying tongues, it's good or in fact, pause said, with your praying tongue more than we pray, no understanding. Don't make the mistake of only praying in tongues. Pray you're understanding. Also, I encourage praying more in tongues. I teach it and have thought it over and over. If you can't praying tongues, because you can't be wrong praying tongues. When you're praying tongues, you pray the mind of God. But also learn to pray you're understanding. There are many pristerers who can't pray their understanding for five minutes, and so most of the specific things that they need to make demand for, in fact, they never do. Look at their postles acts four. Look. I read it from vers. Twenty six. The hand of God is provoking prayer. So when you see people that things happen in their lives, they fum sol it in prayer. God. Go to verse twenty five. Let's take it from there to give it context. They were beaten, and they returned to their company, and when they were with their company, they began to quote the Book of Psalms chapter two. Okay, let's start from ver twenty three. It's just about ten chapters by the way he said. And being let go, they went to their own company and reported or that the chief priests and elders have said unto them twenty four. And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said they prayed in their understanding. He said, Lord, thou at God, which has made heaven and hearth and the sea, and all that is in them, is who by the mouth of the savant David had said, why did they hidden rage? And the people imagine vain things? The King of the Edge too, the kings of the Edge too. Thom and rulers were God together against the Lord and against his anointed, for of a troops against the Holy Child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herold and Pantus pilot with the Gentiles and the people of Israel. Where God see the people that mounted up against one person. You don't know the men fight Herold want to spin it Gentiles and Israel or one person. This is the kind of battle we fight, executive, legislative, and multitude of different racis gang doop against one person and one who take your battles for granted. He is there for to do whatsoever the hand and the council determined before to be done. And now Lord, they have done the one that you're permitted. This one they are doing now is not in your counsel, so we need you to act. Jesus allowed them because that was in your predeterminate counsel. This one they are doing now is not in your predeterminate counsel. So we want it stopped. And the only way is by the hand of God. They checked their faith, their faith could do carry it. They checked their connections. Their connections could carry it. So they knew that only the hand of God could. And they made us understand in this creature that the hand of God can be provoked. You don't just wait for it to manifest, he said, Lord, behold their threatenings. Grant onto thy servants that with all goordness they may speak thy world the status my emphasis, he said, by stretching for Thy hands to heal, and that science and one that may be done in the name of the Holy Child. They knew that the hand of God. Could be provoked, and the way to provoke it is by making demand in prayer. Listen, when you're coming to a place where you don't have what it takes to contend, bet time, make demand on the hand of God. Father, stretch your hands and rise, Oh God, let your enemies be scatter. There are times to pray those prayers. There are times when you function by your authority as a believer, you are literally invincible. But there are other times where you will have to make the man, Lord, where is that mighty hand? What was Gideon's lamentation? They say, where is the God that did want? That's with our fathers. You can't pray that prayer and be stranded. Most people that you say God supernatural and intervening in their matter. God intervenced like that, not because it's biased towards them. It is because they know how to place demand. Most of us don't know how to place demand. Things are going, heir wire. You are dear saying it is where? What is where? They want to disgress you. They want to frustrate you. They want to shut you down. Your eyes are open one years, past, two years, past, three years, past, four years, five years. You are dear saying it is where? It is, not where a lies? O Lord, let thy enemies be scattered. Stretch forth thy hands, two signs and wonders, bring jog. This went upon the weakhad. Let your counsel find expression men who see. The hand of God. This is what they pray. We provoke it. Somebody will provoke the hand of God today, this stomach egg that will never go, this tagnation that will not go, this reproach that will not go. Father, every body and every force that has risen up against me, made them be scattered by your hand tonight. You will pray it. See it's not what we do all the time, but there are times when we do it so that we can occasion Divine intervention on the scale of His sovereignty. Number two, how do you provoke the hand of God by receiving prophetic words? Because most times when God's fixed, he stretches his hand to back it up. Ezeki one, verse three. The word of the Lord came x pressley onto Ezekier, the priest, the son of Buza, in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Kiber, and the hand of the Lord was there upon him. Oh, my God, you don't know why Jesus said, man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. If you are careless when God is speaking, you will lose everything. Most times, the move of God's power as strongest when God is talking, because God will not allow his word for to the ground, so he releases all his sovereignty to defend the integrity of his world. That's why one of the easiest way to see God's hands is when he speaks. Those of us who are ministers, we know when you are operating like this and teaching and you start picking words of knowledge. That's the easiest way to see power, because if God says it and you pick it, it happens at speed that is unbelievable. The sum may say has the lost focus. He said, but twice I heard that power belongs to God. When God speaks, his hand is released. And this is why every Christian must master how to receive God's war. For some of you, you receive God's world in the way in the place of worship. Some of you receive God's war in the place of prayer. Some of you receive God's war as teachings go on like this. Any system that's fun sources God's word in your direction. Addict yourself to it, because if the hand of God will follow you, it is from the place of the world of God. Some of us receive God's world when we are quiet in prayer. That's why my prayers ninety percent of the time I'm alone sometimes even light is noise. I offer everywhere. When it is dark, I hide there and I am communing with God. And the words keep dropping. Because I leave, you shall leave also. And when that world drops, Oh Jesus, you will light up, and all the forces of heaven we begin to work in your favor. God will tell you your will. Sometimes they will come in form of visions. You will just see yourself operating in certain dimensions. And as you wake up from there, forces are mobilizes to make it happen. Because the hand of God has gone to walk, most of us don't see the hand of God because we are burying of the world of God. If the world comes, the hand we show. Asaiah vers level for the Lord spoken to me with a strong hand. The Lord spoken to me with a strong hand. He can't speak without his hand. His hand always goes forward when he speaks. You want to provoke God's hand or pull yourself to the Rema world. When the Rema world comes, the hand comes? Number three, How do you provoke the hand of God by yielding to the Holy Spirit? Second Kings three, Verse fifteen. And Laishah wanted then of God to come upon him. He said, but now bring me a minstrel, he said, and he came to pass, he said. When the ministry played that the hand. Of God. Came upon him. Everything that moves or provokes the move of the spirit causes the manifestation of the hand of God. Most of us don't know these things. See, men are powerful to the degree of their understanding. If you understand anything, it puts power on your life because you can wield dimensions at will, at will, at will. So a man who has to see the hand of God every month can provoke it. If he's engaging the order and making demand, making demand and it's not showing forth, he begins to create atmospheres for the move of the spirit. If it doesn't show far, he begins to open himself to the world of God. He's starting the world. He's listening to samoth one way or the order. Something was activated, and then every month you see them man scaling heights, scaling heights, and you are wanting, how is your life like this? There's something is activating. This is Christianity. Christianity is not coming to change, to gather in a multitude. Christianity is for people to have an intimate work with God, so that God can manifest through them so much so that anywhere they appear is as though God has appeared. That is Christianity, the hand of God, the hand of God. You need it, I need it. Sometimes the people you think are do it well, they need it more because you will not even see. But until start making impact. You are the floor you say you are fighting, come up, and then you will see they leave battles. There are weapons that are not made for failures. There are certain weapons that are only designed for champions. If you use it on failures, it's a waste. And certain knows that you are already failing without any attack. You think, Ceta, we use his best weapons for you. He's looking for that guy who has a vision to take in lission, and he's looking for that guy who has the audacity and the temerity to follow through that vision. And he sees the guy makes one impact, two impact, three impact. Then next time, hell we rise off. If we leave this one, it will cost us a lot of pain that will not recover from. But you know what, everybody listening to me here tonight is a champion, and that's why all of us need the provocation of the hand of God. Can we pray in the spirit for one minute and makes specific demand, Father, let your hand manifest upon my life. Father, release your hand upon my life. Father, stretch for your hand over my circumstance. Can we pray like people who want to see manifestation? My mom? Do some. Blast me. Up? And you know you know, said. Sunny boy sun by a body so cred ship shut shut up by. That? Can Posso said, when I leave its school? Are we go in prim. Time? Second need this woe? How we go? In press campaign said I got my dog stamps and I was there in the barn where stood it's almir. Can we pray like a people that spit up for a ship? Say? Come on, in the name of Jesus. You know why we teach like this. When we teach like this, we put your possibility in your hands. That means it's what you choose that you have. See, we have Jesus in his fullness, and Jesus is the fullness of God. But if we are not careful when we have all of that and still not make the most of it, this is why you lend truths like this. The eyes of Jesus is beyond. This is God's tool of judgment. The feet of Jesus is beyond this is God's system of the you. The hand of Jesus is beyond this is God's instrumental authority. The hell of Jesus is beyond this is God's purity. And agelessless So when you say I have Christ Christ, it means the hope of glory. You should know that Gos to million is starting you. God's authority is taught in you. God's purity is installed in you. God's dominion is says start in you. God's judgment is installed in you. Your duty now is to master how to provoke them and tonight their well. To provoke God's authority is what I've shown you, either by prayer or by the world, or by you into the Holygos. Can you pray for one minute like someone who wants to release the authority of God, that is of holy life. Can you pray like that person? Maybe you're got, you know, challenges. Maybe you didn't come. Here with this. Bea THEA points yeah, this. Go yeah, Sahila Corratavic. Can I tell you something. Most believers. Don't know what they carry. That's why they are where they are. I entered Zambia. I preached the first night, release the power of God. A woman dropped crotches, cancer stayed four pressed terminated. I came back the next day and they were expecting me to manifest more. When I was done teaching, I told them that I'm doing what I'm doing because of what I have and they have the same. And on that to said all the testimonies. On the second day, I didn't pray for one claud coma vanished, paralysis, gone two more on the next gone things were just vanishing. Their testimony the second day was almost twice that of the first day. If you don't awaken to what you have in God, you will call yourself a Christian. But they will mess up with you. Do you know why I'm telling you to ask for the hand of God. This is miracle, Savis. You're expecting me to pray and your take testimonies. If you pray the hand of God, you will use it against the challenge you came here with. So in the next one minute, pray with your understanding Lord, let your hand be made manifest of my life. Now pray that prayer. Now forget you're challenges for now, for now. Manti man Mati herd on the hand of God, Latim mati man. The handle card is uppop me. The Adom card is. A fronded me. The Adom card is not company. I know it like I know my do. Yeah, sh. Shut, shut out, shadow. You have asked for the hand of God. Now I want you to address and need challenge you came here with. Because the hand of God is for judgment. The hand of God is for signs and wonders. The hand of God is for creative power. If it's a tumor, commanded to live now. If it's a pain, commanded to live now. If it's an eye condition, commanded to God now. If it's a circumstantial challenge, address it now. If it's a gang gob scatter, that gang gob now scat tied by the spirit. If it's an old gang condition corrected now. If that live is too bad, then you want to be giving. If that eye is too bad, then you want to be given. If that kidney is too bad, then you want to be given. The hand of God is upon you. This is war. This is war fighting the spirit. I'm teaching you how to be strong so that your life will not be dependent on the man. Ah yes, Sah. Comes every siste rising against me. I put them under pressure by the hand of cop every can cop I cast me. I scutt them by the hand of com every we can that's a cast me. I shut it down by the hand of com every force of circumstance. Why I guess me, my dear, I just had it by the number gone a le catapura bata. Got shoe. An't detecting a ca an't. Defecting my boy. I've connected town by that. I'm not gone by this. I'm not gone. Got tell that fruit. Syndicating the last the hats. Perry, Gotta mid mana Lils, lilychktina. Thank your Father, Thank your Father. In the name of Jesus. Listen, you need to understand spiritual things spiritually. That's why you're mature. Understand spiritual things spiritual. See, that's why I began by telling you that the Jesus your soul, was God taking up human form to manifest himself. But the dimensions of God are superior to that form. So when when Jesus stretches his hand like this, if we tell you this is not my hand, this is the container that carries my hand. My hand is the authority, the sovereign authority of God. They we tell you this am not my feet. These are the containers that carry my feet. My feet is God's dominion. I will tell you this not my face. This is a container that carries my face. My face is God's presence. Iver tell you this, not my eyes. These are the containers that carry in my eyes. My eyes are God's judgment. You need to know it that way so that when the Bible says christ in you the hope of glory, don't be assuming there's another man standing inside you. Christ in you is not and not a man standing on your inside. Christ in You means by the spirit, God's dominion has been installed in you. God's presence have been installed in you. God's judgments have been installed in you. Gods authority have been installed so that you can provoke them. Other words, christ in you will be theology in your head. The hope of glory means I can bring to men or not of me. I can bring God's presence out of me. I can provoke God's authority. I can provoke God's life. That's what it means. It means every dimension of God. The same way that We're in the container of Jesus's body. They are belished thought. The Lord isid. That's how God can live in you. Because God is not a formed being. He is a complete a co location of spiritual dimensions and possibilities. What is a person? Glory to God. As you walk out of this service, carry that consciousness, Carry that consciousness and live in perpetual victim. If you were blessed by this message you just listen to and you wish to make Jesus your Lord and personal savior, kindly repeats the prayer after me, Dear Heavenly Father of believe in your son Jesus Christ, and that he for my sins he was raised from the dead for my justification. I therefore confess with my mouth that Jesus is the Lord of my life. I receive eternal life. Into my spirit. I am born again. Thank you Father and Jesus' name. Amen.
