So very quickly, let's get into the world. I said, I'm going to give us a very brief charge. First Corinthians fifteen, we read from verse thirteen to verse twenty two. I need those on the scriptures to be very first. I need you to see these verses of scriptures. It's important that you see them because what we are dealing with today is the foundation of the Christian faith. If you don't understand it, you may be part of a religion, but you are not. Part of Christ. And the lawyer praise God. So in First Coritians fifteen, from vesse thirteen powers bringing an argument for resurrection and for the resurrection of Jesus Christ. You know, Poe is a lawyer, so his law knowledge gave him an edge in communicating truth. Because when Paul speak is almost like an apologists. And Paul said, if there be no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not reason. And he said, and if Christ be not reason, then is our preach in vain and our. Faith also vain? He said, yeah, we have found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that he raised, of Christ whom he raised, whom he raised, not all if so be that the dead do not rise. Is that clear enough? He say? If the dead does not rise, then Christ is not reason. And he said Christ is not reason, then our faith is meaningless. And he said our faith is not just meaningless. He said, we are also falsely witnessing to God to doing what he did not do, praise God. But Paul went for that to say, for if the dead rise not then it is not Christ raised. He said, And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain, and you are yet in your scenes. These are strong components of our faith. And I'm going to deal with all of them as we teach this evening, because it's also giving you the basis for which you are declared free from sin, from the guilt and the judgment of sin. He said, then they also which are falling asleep in Christ, are also perished. Are you seeing the thing's poise trying to give value to on account of resurrection alone? Number one our preaching and our weakness, Number two our faith, number three the basis for forgiveness of our sins, and number four the hope of our own resurrection poise, tying all of them to the resurrection of Christ. And he said, if in this life. Only we have hope in Christ, he said. Then, aware of all men most miss number five is also telling us about our victorious living. Our victorious living is predicated upon the resurrection of Jesus, he said. But now is Christ's reason from the dead and become the first fruit of them that slept. So it's telling you by authority that Jesus is reason. And because it's reason, you and I would rise eternally. We will not end up in the grave. He said. For since by one man came dead, by one man came also the resurrection of the dead Verse twenty two. For us in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. In this short passage alone, Paul explained to us the basis for five critical components of our belief system. Number one, Paul justified our preaching based on the resurrection. He said, the reason our preaching is powerful, it's not because we're eloquent. The reason our preaching is powerful is because what we are preaching is true. Christ is reason. Number two, post said. The reason our faith produce resort, it's not because of how we feel about it. The reason our faith produced resort is because our faith is built on the Resurrection. Number three, Paul said, the reason you and I will be forgiving or are forgiving of our scenes, it's not because of anything we do, whether confession or whatever. If there was no resurrection, pa said, would have remained in our scenes even if we confess, then a million times so, possaid, the basis for our preaching, the basis for our faith, the basis for our forgiveness, and then the basis for our resurrection. Also, he said, it is all tied to the fact that Christ rules. And finally, Post said, the reason you and I will leave victorious, it's not necessarily because we are smart and strategic people. All of that is important, but postaid, the reason we live victoriously is because in christ resurrection we have been emed powered to leave victorious. You see why the Bible said the race is not to the swift, that the battle is not to the strong. So it is the resurrection that will make you live a victorious life. This scripture alone has given us enough basis to glory in the resurrection of Christ. So if I'm exercising faith for anything, the basis for which my fate will walk it's not me is the fact that Christ rules so anything I'm trusting God for because Christ rules, is. The answered if I'm working through life. The reason why I am bold that neither certain nor men, nor circumstances can undermine my existence is not because of who I know. It's not because I'm skillful. It's because in the resurrection I've been giving victory in life. The reason why I am sure that I will not go to hell, that at the end of time I will live with God victoriously, it's not because of what I do now. God has in his love send the Holy Ghost to empower me to live right and to do good. But the reason why I will live with God in the ever after, it's not because of what I do. It's because Christ's reason. He said, That's why those who are dead will not remain in the grave. That's why you and I will rise. Boy, it's giving us very significant portent reasons why we must understand the resurrection. In fact, in First Corinthians fifteen, verse one to four, before he advanced that argument invest thirteen, Paw already established that Christ both died, was buried, and rose. From the dead. He said, moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preach onto you, which also you have received. And wherein your stand? So where do you stand? You stand in the Gospel. That's where you stand. You don't stand in the church. You don't stand on a relationship with a man. You stand in the truth of the Gospel. If the oppression of the church is captured in the Gospel, then the church becomes a blessing. But if the church becomes about dogmas and human philosophy, then the church will not have an advantage in your life. If a relationship follows the principles of Christ, then that relationship is significant. But if the relationship is based on human wisdom and human essence, then it is useless as far as your life is concerned. He said, it is in the Gospel we stand. And you know in Romance chapter one, verse sixteen, you see the reason why we stand in the Gospel. He said, I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. He said, it is the power of God onto salvation to everyone that believes. So the only thing that encompasses salvation is the Gospel. Now power wants to show us the substance of the Gospel. So in first charrange As. Fifteen, verse two, He said, it is by this gospel also that you are saved if you keep in memory what he has preached onto you, unless you. Believe in vain. So if you don't apprehend this, if you don't live based on these things, he said, you may have believed in vain. Now what is the substance of this gospel? Invest three, Pas said, I deliver onto you first first of all that which also I received, How that Christ died for our scenes according to the scriptures. So po is a femine that has declared by the Holy Scriptures Jesus actually died, but he didn't stop there. It's easy to believe that he died after everybody dies. So Christianity does not begin from the death of Jesus. The death of Jesus is what deals with the penalty for our seings. The death of Jesus is what destroys the flesh. The death of Jesus is what destroys the old man. But if Jesus only died, we would have the old man would have been crucified. But you would not have been able to leave the newness of life. So in addition to his death, Paul said, he was very and he said on the third day, he rose again from the dead, according to scriptures. Now, because of this resurrection, the old man was not just destroyed, a new man was born. The man you call a Christian is the one that was born from the resurrection. He's a new man. And Paul is saying for that new man to maximize everything that life according to God's program, dictate that man must. Believe in the resurrection. He say, if you don't believe in the resurrection, the preaching of the world of God will be useless. He said, if you don't believe in the resurrection, your fate will be vain. He said, if you don't believe in the resurrection, you will remain in your scenes. He said, if you don't believe in the resurrection, you too will not rise from the dead. And he said, if you don't. Believe in the resurrection, you cannot live a victorious life. So the resurrection. Therefore becomes very critical for everybody who says he's a Christian. Now, if you study chart history, one of the biggest debates you will find is the debate of whether Jesus died. And rose from the dead. There is a debate around his divinity, whether he is truly the incarnate son of God. There is a debate around whether he died, and there's a debate around whether he rose from the dead. And these are the foundations of our faith. So when these things are attacked, the fate is destroyed, except as these things have the power to outweigh every attack that is thrown at it. So quickly this evening, I want to show you three things. Number one is the proof of scripture, the proofs of scripture that Jesus rouse. From the dead. Number two is the meaning of his resurrection, the implication of his resurrection. And then number three is to show you how to maximize his resurrection. If you know this, like Pas said, you will truly live a victorious life. So if a Christian is struggling with anything, be it seen, be it certain, be it the word. The primary problem is not how strong those things are. The primary problem is whether or not his understanding is correct. If it's understanding is accurate, fifty percent of the time, he has already secured victory. So it's critical for us to understand and. To believe with all our hearts that when we say Jesus ruse it is not a sentimental position. We are taken because we are Christians. That are undeniable proofs. And then number two, when we say Jesus rules, we must understand the meaning the spiritual implications of that statement, because it's not just a theological worsession, it's a reality in the spirit that holds very very strong implications for those who understand and believe. And then number three, when we know the implications of its resurrection, we need to know what to do with it for it to best smally benefit. Us Glory to God. And so this are some of the things I want to touch this evening as we deal with the spiritual essence of the resurrection of Christ. So that are about eight basic proofs in scripture that Jesus rules from the dead. Number one is the proof of the empty tomb. This has been historically confirmed by historians that when they checked the tomb of Jesus on the third day, it was empty, that his body was not there, even though some more that is confirmed that his body was no longer there. In fact, scriptures record that they bribed the soldiers that were there to lie that his. Body was tolen. So we begin our argument of the resurrection from the fact that the tomb was empty. Look twenty four, verse two to three. Write the scriptures down if you don't know anything as a Christian. No, the death, the perier and the resurrection of Jesus, the Bible said, they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchle, and the entered in and found not the body of. The Lord Jesus Christ. So his body was not there. The tomb was empty empty, same emphasis in John twenty six to seven. When his disciples came. To the sepulchal they didn't find the dead body, he said, and the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linient clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Next verse, they said, then went in. Also that other disciple, Peter, and one disciple ran to the tomb. So they're the ones the Bible is talking about here, he said, which came first into the sepulchle, and he saw and believed. So when they entered, they confirmed that the body was not there. But you see this argument alone with not suffice, because if you just said the body was not there, it is not a proof that he rose. It's possible that the body was relocated. So while we begin with these there are more convinced arguments. And the second argument is the testimony of the angels. As you read in your Bible in Matthew twenty eighth, verse five and six, you will find that the first testifires of the resurrection of Jesus were angelic functionaries. They said, and the Angel answered and. Said onto the women, because the women came into the tomb, and when they didn't find Jesus, they were weeping. And he said, the anger said, unto them, fear not, year, for I know that you seek Jesus which was crucified. Are you seeing the specificity? Not any other Jesus, the one which was crucified. He is not here, for he is reason, as he said, from and see the place where the Lord live. So the second testimony of the. Resurrection of Jesus is the testimony of the angel. You'll find out also in Luke twenty four, verse six to seven. He is not here except what he is reasing. Remember he speke onto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying the son of Man must. Be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified. The todd day he would rise again. So the second proof of the resurrection is the testimony of angels. Number three. The third proof of the resurrection. Is the testimony of the eye witnesses. You know, when Paul said in One Corinthians fifteen, verse three and four, that Jesus died according to scriptures, was buried according to scriptures, and rose again according to scriptures, he didn't stop there. He went to verse five and six and added the testimony of eye witnesses. He said, first Charentel fifteen said, and that he was seen of Cepphus, then of the twelve. So are you seeing that? In addition to the scriptures veracity of which we cannot argue, there is also the testimony of eye witnesses. He said, he was seen of Cephas, ten of the twelve. And then I said after that he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remained. On to this present, but some are falling asleep. So as at the time Paul was making this declaration, some of the eye witnesses were present, so they received testimony of. Those who saw him. And Paul said, what I am saying here, They are not all dead. Some of them are life with us, and the people he was talking to know those people and they confirmed. So these things are verified in history that people saw him. You know, today sometimes when you said Jesus died and rose from the dead, they will say, bring medical reports. But you see, you. Don't verify historical facts like that. They were not doing autopsies in their days. Neither did they have DNA tests of that magnitude that you could preserve. If I tell you today that once upon a time there was a man called Plato, you won't tell me to bring his DNA. You receive historical facts based on witnesses, of testimonies of eye witnesses. The reason you and I. Believe that there was a philosopher called Plato, it is because those who were. With him said he existed. That's how you verify history. The veracity of history is based on the testimony of eye witnesses. If we said to there that there was once upon a time a philosopher called the call one for me sorry Aristo to you will say where is this madey good report? That he lived? It's a testimony of eye witnesses. That's the same testimony that has been proved and verified to be true. So when we said Jesus resurrected. Number one, there was an empty toode. Number two scripture captures that angel testified to that effect. Number three, there were eyewitnesses who saw him reason and their names were captured. The Bible spoke of Seaphast, the Bible spoke. Of the twelfth Apostles and five hundred orders, Glory to God. And these guys didn't hide They spoke about it, they testified of it, and it was recorded in history. Peter said, Jesus Ruse, he didn't hide it. The twelfth Apostles said, Jesus Ruse. They didn't hide it. And these are documented facts of peace. Peop who hearing them are feeling to it. And they didn't just say it. They came on the pressure. This is where the veracity of their claim is justified. They came on the pressure, even the pressure of death. And not one of them changed their mind. Some were so on a sunda, Some were thrown from cliffs, some were thrown into boiling oil. Some were dragged on the streets by chariots. If it was a cook or a cooked of story, one of them would have panished and said. Please, please, please come, let me tell you the truth. Not one. All of them were killed in the most gruesome fashion. They didn't change their confession. You know, every time there is a coup after a long time, you will hear that somebody said something. In the case of this one, not one said anything different. Because they saw him. They couldn't deny it. There's never a time when people agreed on a. Truth that is a lie. That one person didn't change his mind pressure somebody will say, wait, I no. Go die like this because their death were gruesome. They were stabbed, they were thrown to death, they were thrown from mountaintops. If you didn't see him, you say a way too, I didn't see him. It's what they said me. I was not there. Not one changes mine. So these testimonies are classified documents that stified off in history and cannot be tampered with because they are true. Number four testimony of. The resurrection or proof of the resurrection is the transformation. Of the disciples. Their transformation. The Bible told us number one that they were peasants, there were fishermen, uneducated people. Suddenly they began to communicate a conviction with so much dexterity that they were able to convert their whole generation. I would reveat that these guys were teimid and afraid. In fact, when Jesus died, they locked themselves up in the upper room, afraid of death. Suddenly, these same people, upon seeing Jesus and receiving the Holy Goos, became bold and defied death. And they stepped out and began to preach the gospel. And this gospel was not what Moses thought. They were saying. The person Moses spoke about is Christ. You killed him, He's alive. That level of transformation is uncommon, that fearful men become so bold, only educated men communicating. A conviction, even when their lives were threatened. In fact, when their son Hendrys gathered them and flogged them, they didn't change their minds. They say, you. Choose what you we believe, or what we should do, whether to fear man or fear gold. He said, but we will fear God. And they stood their ground. That transformation was on common, and it was not just bordness. Suddenly they began to walk in supernatural power. Fisher Men sat there, opening blind eyes, raising cripples. Fisher Men sat there gathering multitudes, talking to them, and their multitude were also transformed. In Ats two thirty seven and thirty eight, the Bible said, when they had Peter, they said their hearts were pricked, and three thousand men were transformed by listening to Peter. So they were not just transformed, they began to transform others. The Bible said they put their sick on the streets at five point fifteen, that the shadow of Peter would come upon them, and they the shadow of Peter was raising cripples. The shadow of Peter was opening blind eyes. This is not normal, something supernatural, a must have happened. And these people said, this supernatural thing is attributed to the fact that Jesus has risen from the dead. That transformation gives credibility to their testimony. Fearful men become bored. The narificial men began to do wonders, verifiable wonders. And no other person has been able to have that kind of transformation. It is uncommon. So the fourth proof of the resurrection is the transformation of the apostles. The fifth proof of the resurrection is the fulfillment of prophecy and scripture. In some sixteen best ten, the Bible said, for now we not leave my soul in hell without so far the Holy One to see corruption. In Ads two thirty one thirty two, Peter referenced this prophecy the same way the Sami said. He said, the. Lord see this spec of the resurrection of Christ. That is so will not be left in hell, neither his flesh see corruption. So Peter said that prophecy was fulfilled in the resurrection of Jesus. That's why Paul also said in First Coritians fifteen, verse three and four that Christ died according to scripture, that it rose according to scripture. So the resurrection will be a lie if the scripture is a lie. If you believe that the scripture is true, then you have to believe in the resurrection, because it is the scripture that lends credence to the resurrection. It's the veracity of scripture that makes us believe in the resurrection, because the scripture said it, Jesus affirmed it, and it was proven ddingto scripture. The fifth proof of the resurrection is the veracity. Or the testimony of scripture, or what you call fulfillment of prophecy. The sixth proof of resurrection is the prediction of Christ himself. You know those who say some religions who said Christ it derives from the dead. They affirmed that Jesus is the word of God. They affirmed that Jesus never seemed. Yet they claim that when the time for death came, Jesus escaped. So how do you rationalize it. You said Jesus is the word of God. You said Jesus never seened. So if Jesus never seen, how will Jesus be a deceiver? Yet you say he never seened? Because Jesus himself predicted is death and predicted this resurrection. If Jesus said something in the public and Jesus now runs away from it, is that person not a liar and a deceiver. So how can you now affend in your own. Scripture that Jesus is never seen, but you are accusing him of lying that deception. He'll say that he doesn't add all. So one of the reasons we believe in the resurrection is because Jesus predicted it, himself, said it, and he fulfilled it. Matthew sixteen, verse twenty one, John two, nineteen twenty one. Jesus predicted is on dead except from that time, for it began Jesus to show on to his disciples how that he must go on to Jerusalem and suffer many things of the elders and the chief priests and the scribes, and be healed and be raised from the dead on the third day. So Jesus himself said it that he was gonna be killed and he was going to rise from the dead on the third day. So if you believe that Jesus is an honest person, why will you now doubt what he said? Is it not an affront for you to say, Jesus escape, That's an insult to his person, to his integrity. Praise God. So Jesus declared it. Let's look at. John two nineteen to twenty one. Jesus answered and said, not to them destroy this temple, And he said, in three days I will raise it up. Next verse, then said the Jews forty and six years was. This temple in building? Will dowrite up in three days? Next verse he said, but he spec of the temple of his body. In fact, if you studied John three, I think that's verse theteen to fifteen. He says, as Johnah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights. He says, so and so Shad the son of Man being the belly of the head for three days and three nights and rise again. Check that scripture for me. So Jesus declared his own death and resurrection. And so the sixth proof of the resurrection is the death is the prediction of Jesus himself. The seventh proof of. The resurrection is the weakness of the Holy Spirit. See, when we speak about the resurrection of Jesus, the spirit goes to walk to a femide. That's why the gospel may not look so powerful as it were. But when you say it, people are still convicted. Sometimes before you're pretting it is shock what they heard that they were so convicted. You gota read Asks chapter two and tell me what Peter said, that we make three thousand people to be cut in their heart to turn to salvation. Yeah, this is the This is the scripture John two forty. He said for us, Jonah was three days and three nights in the wales belly. He says, so shall the son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. So Jesus spoke of his own death and resurrection. Glory to God. And then the Holy Ghost, Yes, weakness to it. Romance eight eleven said, if that same spirit that raised of Jesus from the dead to wealth in you, he quickens your motor body. He's a testimony that Jesus is reasing. Praise God. He is reason in Adds. Two thirty seven, when they spoke, when Peter spoke, he said, they were pricked in their hearts. That's the Holy Spirit. And they said, men and brethren, what shall we do to be saved? So the seventh weakness of the resurrection is the Holy Spirit. The Holy ghost came to prove and to validate that Jesus is not in the grit, that. Jesus rose as he said. And finally, the at proof of the holy of the resurrection of Jesus is the pat the onward advancement of the church. Our presence here is a proof that Jesus rose from the dead. You know, when the church started, the Pharisees were beating the disciples, trying to intimidate them to keep quiet. One of the wise men said, listen, leave these people alone. Once upon a time somebody came here and said he was somebody, and he rest few disciples. He say, after a while he died. He said, if God is not in this thing, it will die. But if God is in it, you can't stop it. The continuation of the Church is a proof of the resurrection of Jesus. And why is that so? Because the Church began because of the resurrection, and Jesus rose. From the dead. In Matthew twenty eight, from verse eighteen to twenty, he said, all power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. He said, you go in that power. So it was the power of. The resurrection Jesus used to commission the church when he rose. He said, all power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. He said, go in that power, and disciple all nations. So is the power of the resurrection that powers the church. So if the church does not die, it means Jesus is alive. It's a flesh and blood that's not revew this to you, He said, My Father, which is in heaven, has reviewed this to you. He said, Peter, upon the revelation of the Christ, inclusive of his work. Which is resurrection. Upon the revelation of the Christ and his works, he said, I will build my church and invest twenty eight. He didn't do anything until he rose from the dead and in match two twenty eight eighteen. Now that I'm raising, this. Is the power. Heck it start. That's why we are here to today. They are using terror to intimidate us, but we remain seeing stop. Does he not surprise you? We are the one being killed. We are the one dominating. We are the ones being attacked. We are the ones dominating. They say we are not, we are not supposed to exist, that what we are doing. Is a lie. First, Now, if it's a lie, allow us. Let's see whether this lie will last. But they still carry guns, they carry balls, they carry arrows, and they are persuing us to kill us. Does it not surprise you that we allow every other religion to preach increase their nations, but they don't allow us to preach in their own country because if we preach there, they know what we carry, what we carry with what everybody? And now ask them, Let's enter Afghanistan, Let's enter o Man, Let's enter so Malia and preach Christ. You bring your own apostles, preach here. Let's see the word that is true. You don't fight for truth, truth fight for itself. But they will not let you. Do you know that most of these countries. They don't even let Bibles to enter because they know you don't even need to preach, give them Bible to read. As they are reading, they have encounters. Jesus appears to them, Angels appear to them, so they know that what they are doing is a lie. They know what we're doing is the truth. That's why they don't let us talk where they are. They don't let us enter their country to preach, and they don't stop there. They carry guns and their persuonos. They think they can't stop. Us with gons. What is happening here is spirit gone. Can't stop it. The early Church that were oppressed by government, by terrorists, they couldn't stop the church because it's a spiritual movement. Is the power of the resurrection that's sustained comes. Can't stop it. And guess what the time has come for us not only to pray, but to rise up. You know that sort that we put aside. Jesus didn't say we should throw it away, He said put. Your sword aside. Because when Saturn comes spiritually, confronting spiritually, but when it stupidly comes physically, show him that even physically you are not weak. The Arab saying do nothing, do nothing is over. Did you read your Bible? The Bible told us. He didn't say we should not use force. He said horse if prepare for the day of battle, fIF is the lord's It is so we should not have horses. It is so we should not have charios. It all said we shouldn't put our trust there, but we should have it. See any thing you can do to defend yourself. Self defense is not a clime. Don't let any. Vagabond come and kill you where you have purpose to fulfill. In a country like this, where government has failed, they don't even have conscience, they don't have human sympathy, and they are not ashamed they failed and. They are still talking. How can the government be doing all this campaign for second time? Why don't they even have sense to know that effective governance is the biggest campaign for continuity. You are in power, You are fighting for power. Why you are in power, Prove that you qualify to be there. Your records, your impact, your results should make the people say continue. The cute people they think is about speech, and the speech they can't make it. Don't let anybody kill you. Self defense is not what a crime. It's not a crime. If you need to fight in the spirit fight, if you need to fight in the natural, fight all of them in spiritual empowerment. Did you read the Old Testament? How did they fight? David consulted the Urim and to me, and it said, when you see the move very remove, I've gone ahead. So there's one part for prayer, there's another path for WIS talk. That's another part for rob mental connection, that's not that part. For economic power, that's another part form military. Might m HM. In the Ima generation, we rise, you are watching in prayer. You have your weapon by your side. Don't carry only mbamb or see hand. Bamb is important, it's prophetic. But in addition to it, be well armed. When we travel around. You think we just pray and travel, We move heavily armed. We're right to all. They are they all they appropriate authority to receive sufficient cover. You don't, of course, you are in a system that is failing, and those in charge don't have integrity. They don't have People are culled in their hundreds. They think it's about speech making, they think it's about about igh service, about optics. Meanwhile, I hear people saying when this is like this happens. Speak out, speak out. It's not now we should speak out. The problem we talk is that we don't hear you speak out doing a legend. And when those who are leading you spiritually said this is where. You should go, you don't hear. It's my it's my tribe. I'm from this place. Now they are killing people. They don't care which tribe you belong to. The problem is that election. Is still coming. Then we will still talk. You will still say it's my tribe. When they are now killing people. You are saying, where are the pastors? They should speak out when we cop did you hear how many of you followed your pastor in voting? They come and give you two thousand and ira, five thousand. Narra and the are you children? Enough? Is enough? Prepare for twenty twenty seven? While you are praying at defending yourself, be a life to see them voted out. Give the Lord the big hair. You know, I saw something this morning that broke my heart. The war going on between US and Iran. One of the US fighter jets was shut down, I think an F sixteen Ego or something fifteen was shut down. One of the pilots was rescued almost immediately the orther pilot that was behind enemy line. They be lies more than one hundred pestial forces and riached aircraft. Over one hundred soldiers went behind enemy line to rescue one person because human life mattered to them, and because they are in nation that have integrity and dignity, who allow our own to die like that? And they also know that in their country it is your vote that bring them to power, so they need to be accountable to you. But here. Hundreds of people die. All we're interested in is optics. And let me tell you what you don't know. Most of these people, their children are no Nigerians. Who you are the one thinking we are Nigerians. They are children and no Nigerians. Most of them these countries looking around for them. They are looking money for their children who citizens of other countries. You that the country belong to you fight for it and don't die. You think they are children are citizens of this country? They are not. They are not Nigerians. Most of these people. The moment they die, their whole linear it ceased to be Nigerians. So they don't care what's going on. They only see here as a looking ground. Most of their children have not even come into this country in years. And when election come, they will bring two thousands. And you who put you, your children and your grandchildren will remain here. You are not fighting to build the nation. You collect peanut and they live you. After four years they come back. You still listen. That era has ended. Whatever it is that have bewitched and be deviled us is broken in. The name of Jesus. And when you talk, they start, We're hunting you. Before you know, I want accusation, wanting all the other What is shame? People can't even talk and you say, it's the democracy. You have no problem until you said the truth. Then suddenly they start creating lies, start which haunting you so that all thats won't talk. See is better you die on the side of justice than to die quiet or pressed like a man without integrity. You are human, you have nobility in your spirit. Let's get back to our message. Jesus is alive. Give him a big hand. Okay. You know, sometimes these things are so hard, they are the top so deeply that you just leave the fathers to talk. You just pray, because we don't break ranks in the kingdom. But there are times where you know I left just on Sunday. I told you we were supposed to have an evening serviceus it's a storm, very powerful storm came tattat day stage and everything they passed on our card and said answer the evening session. The evening session was supposed to be a worship concert. Meanwhile, we're at that meeting was held. Was the road that led to that and Warukuba and the pastor told me that some guys were coming to ask how many people we got that the next day, so they were looking for where they will cost have all God sentenced tom to scatter day meeting. What's in just that we can I flew in that afternoon. People who don't have sense, who don't have purpose, paraly gods move about and their kidney. People with vision, you will not die. You will live to declare the goodness of the Lord in the land of the Living. Now, let's let's just look briefly into the essence of the resurrection. Please, I need you to understand that the power of what I want to share with you now is the efficacy of scripture and the power or the authority of the Holy Spirit. You don't need to feel anything, just believe it, act based on it, and you'll be shocked that everything promises it. Deliver. Praise God. The resurrection is not meaningless. Is a spiritual truth that holds a lot of spiritual implications. And very quickly, I want to show you six implications of the resurrection. Number one, the resurrection is the validation of Jesus's sonship and the lordship. The resurrection is the validation of Jesus's son sheep and lordship. You know, I told you. That Jesus is known within the context of four offices. Number one as God the Son, And I said, what that means is that he is the living Word of God eternally coequal with the Father and the Spirit. John Chapter one, Verse one. He said, in the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the world was God. So Jesus is God the Son, the second passing of the god Head, eternal echo, equal with the Father and the Spirit. I said, Jesus is also a son of God. As son of God, he is the one who runs the errands of the Father. Because when God wants to do something and it doesn't want to use. Creation, God does it himself. But the way God walks within the context of divine administration. Is that God we say what he wants to do, and the word of God spoken, we go and do that in empowered by the Holy Spirit. That's why I said, in essence God is one, but in manifestation he manifest in three peasins. And I showed you here that God himself told us that we could understand this truth from looking at nature Romance one twenty. He said, the invincible themes of God, even in the turner power and god Head, is made manifest by the things He created. So in nature we can see some things that helps us exemplify measures of the realities in the God Head. And so I said, water, for instance, is H two O in essence. Whichever state you find water, whether steam, whether liquid or ice block, the essence of water or chemical composition of water is two atoms of hydrogen one atom of oxygen. But I said, in manifestation, water although one one molecule H two O, and manifest in three forms. It can manifest as ice, it can manifest as steam, and it can manifest as liquid. Ice is not steam. For instance, you cannot put steam in a bottom into vaporize, but you can put water in a bottom, so the physical qualities are different. You cannot drink steam, but you can drink water. You cannot chew water, but you can chew ice. So you see that although one reality but manifesting in three forms, that steam is not ice and ice is not water does not mean ice stream water is not water. So God is one being in essence, but manifest in three peasins, which is Father, son, and spirir it. Now water cannot exhaustively explain it, but this can show you the behavior around manifestation. In the same way, God is one being but a manifest as Father, Son, and Spirit. In eternal reality, the son, which is the word, is eternally equal with the Father. But in manifestation, the son is the one who runs the errand of the Father. That's God's administration because the Son is the word, the Father is the abba. So when God wants to do something, is the responsibility of the son to run the Errand when the son is running an errand, his scope of oppression is reduced to that Errand within that period that the son is running an errand, the son is not as great as the Father because he's doing only one thing at that time. Are you following the Father who is handling every other thing? Ministrate is greater. So within the seizing that the Son is running the errand of the Father, he is no longer God the Son. He is now Son of God as God the Son. He is a eternal world equal with the Father and the Spirit. As Son of God, he is the one running the errands of the Father. And then I said, it doesn't stop there. He is also son of Man, a son as son of Man is the one who bears the dominion of God for man, meaning he represents man in the realm of God. So if you study Dan here, chapter seven, verse thirteen and fourteen, you'll see that when the Son of Man approached the ancient of this dominion was giving to him. So the reason you and I can reign on earth is because Jesus is representing us in heaven. The reason we talk here and Heaven backs it up is because Jesus is their son of Man. He is our rep. He's the one that stands in the gap for us before God. So Jesus is God the Son, his son of God. He is son of Man, and he is also Messiah. As Messiah, Jesus becomes the embodiment of the empowerment of God that makes man able to represent God. This is why the word Christ is the word the anointed one and is annointing. He's an office. It's beyond running ran for God. He's an office that empowers anybody who is included to be able to represent God. That's why when he said you are the Christ, is upon this revelation of pute my church. That means, within the context of the revelation of the Christ, man can represent God. If you don't know these revelations, you can interact with Jesus in his fullness. They are those who know him as God the Son, they worship him. For those who don't know. Him as God the Son, they say he's a prophet. They don't worship him. So if you go to Israel today, for instance, they don't believe it's God the Son. They say he's their relative. And they are those who know him as Son of God. So they believe that everything God wants to do in the realm of man, Jesus adequately represents God. That's why the Bible said in John one fourteen, the world became flesh and dwelt amongst us, and we beheld him the only Begott, his son of God. So he is the one who represents God among men. He's the one who runs the errand of. God or man. Then, as son of Man, he's the one who represents man before God. Then as Messiah, he creates an empowerment for you and I to become extensions that can also represent God. So when I go out, the reason I can stand for God is because of Christ. That's why the world anointed, which is the word machiac is the word used every time men were empowered to stand on behalf of God. In the Old Testament, when kings were ordained, they were maschi act. When prophets were ordained, they were maschi act. When plat were ordained, they were maschi act. Meaning when you come into the Christ, that office fortifies you to be able to stand on behalf of God. So if you know him as God the Son, you will worship him. If you know him as Son of God, you will be at peace that everything God wants to do for you he has brought. If you know him a son of Man, you will be at peace because you are adequately represented in the realm of God. But if you know him as Christ. Then you now can represent God. So when we travel from nation to nation and we are not afraid of anything, it's because we know Christ. But you see in the resurrection, the son sheep and the lordship of Jesus as first to later be in scripture is validated. If Jesus died and didn't rise, he wouldn't have qualified to be called any of these fourteens. He would have been called a fraud. We believe that Jesus occupies all these offices is because he defied dead. He rose from the dead. Only a divine dean could do that. So the first essence of the resurrection is that the resurrection validated every claim about Jesus's sense to be defined in his manifestation. The reason I know Jesus is divine, either a son or as lord. Is because he rose from the dead. So when I'm worshiping Jesus, when I'm going in the name of Jesus, I hold no doubt. I know he is divine. And it is what the Bible said. Romance won verse three and four. See what the Bible said, he said concerning his son Jesus Christ our Lord. Are you saying sonship lordship. This is what the Bible said about him. But how was he validated? Read on concerning his son, Jesus Christ, our Lord, which was made of the seed of David according to the flesh verse four and declared. So the validation that this Jesus that is called son and thought Lord, they proved its resurrection and declared to be the son of God with power according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead. If Jesus didn't rise, it would be an error to call him Lord. It would be an error to call him son of God. Because everything the prophet said within that regard the Bible said, it was proven in the resurrection. So anybody who after the resurrection does not recognize Jesus as Son of God and as Lord, as aid, the resurrection is the validation that what the prophet said is true, what the word of God said is true, and that we should believe him. That's why our salvation is tied to this romance tenth verse nine and ten. He said, if you believe in your heart the Lord Jesus, and confess with your mouth that God raised him from the dead, because it's at the resurrection that his sonship and lordship is validated. So the first essence of the resurrection is that jesus Is claim about himself was substantiated. So we don't call Jesus son of God or Lord out of sentiment. He proved it by the resurrection. That's why we call him Lord. That's why we call him son of God. In Philippians two, if you read from verse five to verse ten, I'm gonna see the word the Bible puts it. He said, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ. Jesus. He said, who being in the form of God, taught it not robbery to be equal with God. We were not there when all this one happened. This was when he stripped himself of divinity. So we were not there. But this was what he did. We believe it by the spirit and by the word. Nonetheless, he needed to prove that this is true in resurrection. The Bible said, he made himself of no reputation, took upon him the form of a savant, and was made in the likeness of men. So God took the form of a man. That's what he's saying here. He said, I'm being found in the fashion of a man, he about himself and became obedient onto death, even the death of the cross. So he is God, for he decided to take the form of a man. But he still needs you to believe that although he has the form of a man, he is God. But how will you believe? It is only in the resurrection. So the reason we can look at him, although he looks like a man, but will say this is God, is because he rose from the dead. That's what the Bible is telling us. He said, we are for God also have highly exhorted him and gave him a name that is above every other name. This is at the death Urian resurrection. That at the name of. Jesus, every mishould bow in heaven, and things in the earth, and things all that the earth the name of Jesus, he said, And that every tong till confess that Jesus is Lord. So it was at the premise of the resurrection that God gave the command all of you must call him Lord. So his lordship and sonship is validated by the resurrection. The resurrection, they called him carpenter, called him, their brethren acord him name. But the momentary resurrected he became an error to address him as a carpenter. He became an error to address him and just the man. He became pruful to be the son of God and Lord. Now most of you don't know that this is a spiritual legality. That's why when you stand before anything and you want to enforce the lordship of Jesus, you are freed. So a demon is making noise. You're saying the name of Jesus. You are steep panicking because you don't know that upon the resurrection he is lord. To that demon. Business is not working. You're saying the name of Jesus. You are panicking. You don't know that upon the resurrection is lord over your circumstance. Say, these revelations look simple, but this is where viiritual power is locked. Some of you, your life is in danger. You're saying the name of Jesus. You are steep panicking because you don't know that at the resurrection he was lord. Really, any where you bring his presence he takes over. Only where you introduce him he takes over. He said, let every knee bow, let every tone confess that Jesus is Lord. That's the first meaning of the resurrection. So if you know the resurrection, the proof is not shown that you said you know. The proof is demonstrated in that anywhere you caught Jesus, you know he takes charge. If you cannot caught Jesus in a crisis and believious taking charge, if you cannot caught Jesus in a situation and believious taking charge, you don't know the meaning of the resurrection. And there are many Christians who are celebrated Palmsonday, celebrated Holy Toss, they celebrated Good Friday, celebrated He. Stops on day. But they don't know. So they are going to problem. They are shouting Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. When they finish shouting, they tell you nothing. Happle is where for those who know the moment they said Jesus, they see him take. Charge, They find peace, they find rest. See why do you think sometimes we are casting out devils. You're saying the. Name of Jesus, get out. Then the devil begins to add drama. He we jump, he will shout, He wants to intimidate you. If you don't know the resurrection and the lordship of Jesus, you start panicking. And Satan can play play you to hell. Those days one we're learning how to cast our devils set and messed us up. You were saying the name of Jesus, the person who asked as if he or she is touched. Then after a while do you start laughing, ha ha ha, and then you start again. You can't stay here, you can't stay here. You must go now. No, when you said it once he left that your second prayer, now is what told the devil that you thought he didn't live, So he will come back. So we will cast out, will bring them back. We'll cast out, will bring them back. We prayed there sometimes for hours. There were occasions where we came back and prayed for days. We didn't know. We didn't understand lordship, and we didn't know that lordship was sanctioned not by our experience, but by the resurrection. Our experience can fluctuate, but the resurrection is constant. I may not feel it, but it happened. I prayed for somebody here to be healed of an informity. Three days later the person came and said, the team never go. So if we pray again, I say, I won't pray it twise because there's no need because it's the same place I'm praying for. It's not the number of times I pray the matter. It's my understanding and my faith the matter. If I think I will pray more, I will pray to eternity. And the person was disappointed and left. Two days later, the person got you because if I say in the name of Jesus, it doesn't happen. Whoach other name will I use? And if I pray again, am I increasing his rank? Because his rank was not enough. The only reason why we pray again is if I didn't believe what I do. See, don't let your circumstance manipulate your life. Don't let your feeling manipulate your life. At the Resurrection, Jesus became lord over every name, over every knee, over every tongue. So anything that talks, anything that has a name, and anything that exacst authority came on. That Jesus. Answer came on, that Jesus diabetis came on, that Jesus hepatitis came on, that Jesus fairly h came on, that Jesus fear came on. That Jesus or less does he have a name, A tongue. Or a name. This is the meaning of the resurrection. If you don't know this, you can be a fasting machine, a script chocolate tea machine, a prayer warrior. You'll be helpless. This is why we move mountains. Is the resurrection. Number two. What's the significance of the revelation. It's the foundation of our faith. Please lend this. You look simple for lend it. This is the foundation of our faith. See the problem you we have, especially if I consecrated believer. I noticed in my journey with God that most believers, the more consecrated they become, the more powerless they become. It's an ironic, but it's true. They give their hands to Christ. They manifest their power. Now that they are living for Christ. They are no longer seeing the power. I experienced it. You know why, as you start working with God, your faith, if you are not careful, start shifting to your prayer life your faith, start shifting to your first thing. Your faith starts shifting to your giving. How those things are important, for those are not the foundations of your faith. Those are the proofs of your faith. I prayed because I believe. I pray because I am access I pray because I'm one with God. I am not praying to believe. I'm not praying to accept. I am not praying to be one with God. I'm praying because I'm that. So my prayer will stand me up. My prayer can even stan my faith. But my prayer is not built. My faith is not but on my prayer. The reason I believe I cast our devils is because when he rose, he defeated Saturn. The reason I believe I will not be sick is because when he rose, he defeated sickness. The reason I believe I will not fail it is because when he. Rose, he can should failure. The reason I believe I will keep going up it is because when he rose, he went up. This is the foundation of our faith. This is why Paul, speaking in First Corene fifteen fourteen, he said, if Christ is not releasing, if Christ is not reasy, he said, then is our preaching pain. There's nothing you can tell anybody in the name of preaching that if resurrection is excluded, can betfeit if you like, talk about praying on the mountain, talk about essential, talk about encounters, talk about ranking. It would be useless unless is if us resurrection is at the foundation. He said, christis not reason. Our preaching is our faith is fain. I know consecrational, I teach it. But consecration is born from love and understanding of who you are in God. So you are not living for God. Then you begin to believe in your consecration, you will be shocked. Galicians three from Besse one to three to four, see what the church in Galicia? He said, How foolish Galicians? He said, who has been reach to you that you should not obey the truth? Before whose eyes Jesus Christ has been evidently set forth crucified among you? Verse three He said this only I. Will learn of you receive her the spirit by the walks of the law, or by the hearing your faith exaid? Are you so foolish? Have you begne in the spirit? And you are not perfected in the flesh? So poise saying, anytime you now trust your consecration above the finished works of Christ, you have moved from spirit to flesh. Does this mean you shouldn't pray? Does this mean you should do first? No, you pray and first it there's your spirit. But the foundation of your faith is what Jesus did verse five, He said are you? He said he Therefore the meanings started to you the spirit and work at miracles among you do work it by the walks of the law, or by the hear or say you don't see wonders, you don't see power. You don't see miracles because of your walks. You see miracles because of your faith in Christ. It's why you believe in Christ, that you live for him. Do you think you have more consecration than Moses than Elijah? You go read about them, will you will be humble. So consecration does not change, it remains. But our faith is rooted in the resurrection. If your faith is not in the resurrection, your Christianity will be like this. The day you first you feel close to God, you will feel powerful, You will feel accepted. The day you don't fast, you will feel far away from God. Your feeling will be wont your outcome. But the Bible says we walk by faith, not by sight. So I live consecrated, I live fasting, I live praying. I need giving, but my faith is in the works of Jesus. That's why day any time I give commands like a commander, you never hear me talk defeat, talk weakness, talk failure. Because any day, any time, my faith is in Christ. This is the foundation of our face. Find anybody who is doing great things for God. This is where the secret of his faith is unchored. The first they pray, they give, but they will never trust those things above what Jesus did. If you don't first, if you don't pray, you may not be stared up. You may not see certain things because you need to stay stared up, you need to stay conscious. But if you put your. Faith in those works to be justified, you have missed it. You know why most of you don't dare challenge things. It's because when you study your life, you say, it's in me like this that will rebuild cancer. When you now look at us, so are men of God? Somewhere in your head you are saying they are encountered in jails. Damn man, damn man, That man sleeps in heaven. No course, that it is you're telling yourself. When you look at men of God, you are saying, do you know where he sleeps? In this spirit? Do you know where he came from? We live for God. I see Ennaple source by Chris, But I tell you everything. We stand here and declare and do is based on what Jesus did. And if you too can believe that outside the fact that the Holy Ghost will tell you to live for him, you will make declaration based on this true You'll be shocked your outcome. You know. I hear people say, all this man of God who said they are doing miracles should go to the hospital. If we are left to we will. But the point you need to understand is that we are not doing miracles to prove we are men of God. The Bible said these signs followed them that belief every believer should do miracles is a shame of you who is telling a man of God to go and prove that it can work miracles because miracles are not for men of God. Miracles are for those who believe. But the point is this, every time we demonstrate the power of God to miracles, we are not doing it to prove we are men of God. We are doing it to prove that Jesus rose from the dead. When we operating the miraculous, the miraculous is a proof that our God is not dead. He is alive. When we call his name, he answers. So the prinsis of the miraculous is fed in the resurrection, so you too can address a situation. It will respond if you know you are calling on a living God, not the dead God. The reason I. Can stand here and tell you if you are deaf, let that open is because I know I'm calling a living God. If I'm not sure Jesus is alive, i won't call him an address the situation. If I'm not sure Jesus is alive, I won't call him a make a declaration. When I say, in the name of Jesus' eyes open, I am a family that I know he is alive. So when I call him, he will answer. So the miraculous is not about me. It's about him. He is reason. It's not enough to say Jesus is reason. These are the things you do that proof that you believe he is Reason. Number One, you call him Lord. Number you dare to exercise your faith. Number three. The essence of the resurrection is that you become aware that you are a man of authority. The resurrection confess authority. There's no believer who is without authority. Every born again Christian has been initiated into the corridor of authority because of the resurrection. You may feel it, you may not feel it. It doesn't change anything. A resurrection declares you a being of authority. Matthew twenty eight, verse eighteen and nineteen. The moment Jesus rose from the dead and appeared to his disciples, he said, all power in heaven and on earth has been given to me, a saying, you go in that power. So the resurrection is your inauguration into authority. And you know, authority is not a function of feeling, is a function of awareness. If you are not aware, you will manifest it. It's an authority that is tied to our calling as ministers. But the authority to work wonders and represent God generically is. From the resurrection. Don't wait for a pastor to show up before demons are cast out. Don't wait for a pastor to show up before the sick is prayed for, because when the pastor comes, is that authority of the resurrection primarily that he will use. He said, power in heaven and on earth. Is given to me. He said, go in that power. So if you know Jesus is reason. The proof that you know is that you become conscious of your authority. In efficients to the six he said, we were quicking to get that with him and raised together with him to sit in heavenly places. We were raised to sit in heavenly places. You are currently sit at the heavenly places. The moment you're saying the name of Jesus. You are operating from your authority in Christ. But many are not aware. Christianity now has become largely a move of sensation. So people do everything to feel something. If you have a feeling, enjoy it. But this thing is not about a feeling. It's a legality. If you win a case in court, you can be happy, and you may not be happy. It doesn't change the verdicts. The vedict is not based on your feeling. You need to see people singing today. They want who feel something. People praying, they want to feel something. People preaching, they want to feel something. People does listening to the world. They want to feel something. So long as they're not feeling something, there's no power. Nothing is happening. Go and listening to the tips of our fathers. See how see me dry their meetings were, but they knew what they carried. I watch sometimes or a robots meetings. He will finish preaching and everybody will sit down. He will put a chair and sit and be laying handsome people. Times will be healed. Nobody's feeling anything, but he knew he had authority. In fact, after doing that for many years, he started having showed that pain from lay hands on thousands of people, thousands were healed. If you feel something, enjoy it. But your goal shouldn't be feeling. See nowadays, when I see people worshiping, praying, or preaching, I can't tell that is a feeling they're pursuing. You just know. And when they have that feeling, they think they have crescendoed in the spirit. Then at the end of the day, our lessness no manifestation anywhere. Because we are living the major and we are maturing in the minor, Feelings can comb. Feelings are not the goal. That's why it's in our generation. People fall and stand up and have no encounter, no transformation, no healing. I preating they fell with they stood with it. In fact, before you come, they're already preparing to fall. They already something is wrong. We are anchoring on the wrong things. See, I enjoy feelings, don't get me wrong, Oh, I enjoy it when I'm preaching. Sometimes I sense the fire they are when the autrance comes, like honey, even me, the words are coming to me the way they are coming, I love it. What do you see? You can't have those feelings every day. So if you are based on feelings, your manifestations will be downsized. See when you go to your office, no, you went with power. When you are in your house, no, you are living there with power. Know it. Let it be your consciousness. This is the resurrection. The resurrection battered you into power. You are racing with him. You are sitad with him in heavenly places. He's a rank where nothing that is not of God is admitted to exercise dominion. Anything that is not in that class can exercise DOMINIU. That's why demons can exercise dominion. Where you are, you. Are sitad above them. Snickness can exercise dominion. All these things they're near success syndrome, bad luck. You an't know those things. People will come to you and say, every time I dream, I see myself in my primary school and I lose this, that's your consciousness. I've dreamed many times I was in primary school with my friends. I laughed with them. I woke up I said, now I'm back to reality. I'm back. I'm back, sir. I don't How can I dream have more power than the scripture? Dream cannot have more power than the scripture. Not in my life. See, I have dreamt before I saw the dead, I stood up, I was still moving forward. You see people I dreamt I saw, see I pray for them, or I know those manipulations they are real. I'm not saying they are not real, but you see, it depends on the light you are walking with. If you are using candour in the night, you can hit your leg on the store. A snare come, come and bite you. But if you are with flood light, you you can play football in the night. It depends on the light. I lost my brother many years ago. I dream up sometimes and I see him. When I see him in the dream, and anything worked me up, I go back. I want to continue missing man. I don't think tat I catch one with him, talk with him. When I wake up, I say, Lord, thank you for giving me the opportunity to see this man again. Until we meet in heaven. He doesn't have any power to come on. Hey minute, it's going back, and this will never no. I don't operate by dreams. I operate by scripture. It said, thy word is a light on to my feet and lamp onto my fire. I walk by the word, except by thy light, I walk through darkness. E said, the light shines in the darkness. Why are you I don't understand. See if you have sort dreams and you are there at that level, we. Pray for you. But for some of us, dreams don't manipulate our destiny. Our part is said, the part of the choice. It's a shiny light. It shines brighter and brighter onto the Perfectay, I shine righter right right? If this exist. But whether the hold power ohiver you or not. Is a function of your understanding. They say, if you're eating the dream, it's bad luck. Give me good food and see me finish it. And we whack everything, re ca anything that is available. When I wake up, I'm back to reality. The Bible didn't say that that heaven and heir will pass away, not dream we pass. No is what is the world? Is the world? I stand on the world. Do I believe those things exist? Yes? Today affect people, yes, but not me. That's me. When I see my loved ones who are dead in the dream. I'm grateful to God for allowing me to see them. It helps me not to miss them. But I wake up, I enter the frequency of revelation. I live by light. Give me food in the dream. If I love it, I eat everything. Well. Is this he said that prepares a table for me in the presence of my enemy. I did read anywhere in the Bible that set and cook for people. I don't even know if he knows how to cook. Please don't get me wrong. These things can be forms of the. Money projection, astrap projection. They do it. But I already know not arrow on against me, Shah prosper. But that is in the natural. In the dream, the verdicta has been passed. No weapon fatch on against me, sha proper. Is that the devil comes in in one way, it flees in seven way. Is that the enemy comes in like a flaw. The spirit of the Lord live proppest under. I already know the end. So Satain can come in the dream. He can come in the natural. All things work together for good to damn that love God to damn who are called according to his purpose. M hm, come on, come on, come on. This is somebody's deliverance. So I just handed you your deliverance in a passle. This is your deliverance. That's why for some of us set and does no ways time coming through dreams because he knows it doesn't make sense. The resurrection, the resurrection, it's authority. I rule over Certain in the reward and in the dream world. If Certain cook, if it doesn't even give me, and I'm meet him in the dream, I will call let it. It's got Dominio, We've got let it. What are you doing with food here? Don't you know that they head they are not permitted to drink water? Who gave you this abundance? Bring it here? Ah? Me are here? Some people are eating food in the dream and had miscarriage. Some am eating food and had cancer. Not me, No, No, I'm an impregnable fortress, impregnant. Because Jesus has been to hell. He has reasen. We have gone past hand and can't affect us anymore. Whatever comes from there cannot affect us. Let you you, The resurrection is life beyond the grave. It's life beyond Saturn. It's life beyond that. Don't give Certain too much. Meanwhile, there are books now over a hundred books in the market about don't know anything in the dream, and the people have not known the resurrection. With a lot of prophetic interpretations. Some people dream in the night. They said they must beat in the night at the river with soap. Why do I need to bait with soap? When the Bible said the wars you have had. Have washed you. He said that that might tast cleanser by washing with water by the world. I've been washed by the world. I don't need your soap. That's why they are selling soap now from heaven, key of David, water from zion O. Thanks of this a be sore. I don't need those things. I'm telling you. Somebody has just been delivered from now or you will see you will have those dreams that we mean nothing, and you will say, ah, so what this so strong? I gave it an interpretation, so he was using it. Meanwhile, when it becomes violent in the dream, then weapons will come out of you. When it comes violent, you become violent. See allow this gospel to choke you. Let it in non date, you let this saturate you. You're a victorious simony. You're subconscious. Number four was the implication of the resurrection it procures you the life of God. We call it the realm of the newness of life. Romance six 's four. And eight to e level those with scriptures now because of time, therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death. That like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father. Even so we also should work in the newness of life. We have been a woken to a new order of life, which is the God life. We have been brought into a new kind of life we have. Death has no dominion. In John five twenty four, and say here that believed in the worlds that I speak has passed from death to life. In the rest resurrection. He sanctioned it. See the ram where we live, that does not have power, that does not have authority. Nothing dies where you live. It's a resurrection, because. The resurrection is life beyond the grave. So the life God gave us was life beyond the grave, is a life that has already overcome death. So anything death represents no longer have power over you. From sickness to condemnation, all those things no longer exists where you live. See did you not read Jesus said, if you drink any deadly thing. He called it deadly. He said what he can know, halt you, meaning even if death is injected into you, that we die. I've seen people before who had diseased organs but lived to old age. Even doctors can explain it. They said, this person is lungs. It's not supposed to walk away. We have seen this, we have seen that. But the person is britting normally. I'm Britain and growing intoward age and wanting what's going on? Was shot to this person? He should have died. We can't remove it. A guy is living well, so on one side his deliference from death, but on another side is the presence of death in CONSEQUENTI that's the life you've been brought into. They say, your liver, your lungs, your kidney are supposed to be diseased. For you are living no. Man ten years, twenty years, thirty years, forty years, And they say, what is going on? Won't you die again? You can't die. I told you a story here of a man who was sick. His friends, out of law and compassion, say let's celebrate and take a picture. They celebrated. They snapped a picture so that if he dies, they'll remember him. Forty years later it was the sick man that was left with the picture. The friends who wanted to remember have gone his stee Here death no longer has power. You have been delivered from the body of death, the Bible said, because of the resurrection romance eighty leven. He said, that same spirit that raised of Jesus from the dead lives in you. He said, the spirit we quicking your motor body. That's why I see. Sometimes certain things happen to you before you know. You're already killed. If you are very conscious of this truth, it's not everything we rebucal. There are certain things that enter your body before you say, ah, what is happening? It has gone. Because you are You are according to life. You are brought into a new order. And I told you this thing. Imagine, can an angier have malaria? Why not? The order of life where the. Angel lives and operate, Malaria can be supported. When God said you are brought into the newness of life, it means you have been brought into an order of life we are. Anything that is not of God cannot be supported. Cancer cannot be supported in my system. Failure cannot be supported. In my realm. I've been brought into life. See, most of you are where you are because you are conscious of failure, You are conscious of sin, you are conscious of defeat. It shows even in your prayer. Somebody leans down to pray thirty minutes, he's binding devils. He is fighting every attack on my life, every confusion, every demon, every devil. Every thirty minutes prayer, all is praying against against, against against. Now there's nothing wrong in raising a defense, but there is a way you do it. It shows your consciousness is failing. He shows your consciousness is fear. He shows your consciousness his defeat. Say some of us when we pray is full of thanksgiving. I thought I was the only one like that. I met someone yesterday evening in Johannesburg. The guy ran to me and said he just felt him, he saw me, and he wanted to sew. He came with his family for the Instat holiday and he said I passed. He now called the person with me. I said, please, I might stay around. He just told himself, how can I leave in God like that? So he wanted to show a seed and I was there with personsonic. When we came back, I said, what you want God to do for you? I want to pray for you. The guy taught. He said, Man of God, to be honest with you. In the last five seven years, I don't have any need. All my prayer is thanksgiving. Ah, I said, no, anything you want God to do? He say, I can't think of anyone. I'm doing well. I said, okay, let's ask your wife. The wife too, she couldn't think of one. They are full of thanksgiving. See some of us when will go to pray, Thank you Father for victory, Thank your father for dominion, Thank. Your Father for life, Thank you for the glory, Thank you for open doors. We do all Remember what Saturne is doing? Is it because Satan is not there? No, he's there, But what he's doing is irrelevant. If you are in an aircraft that is operying by aerodynamics, are you troubled about gravity? The system you belong to already took care of limitation. So focus, focus. You have a life that has defeated dead. You have a life beyond failure. You have a life of glory. Focus. Instead of praying every sickness in my body die, I rather pray Father, thank you for your spirit. That is vitalizing my motor body sickness. Don't survive here. Instad of praying. Every arrow shot against me, die by fire back to sender. Now, if that's your revelation, do it. So we are sent to different people. I'm talking to my own people me. I will not pray like that. I will pray I'm sitated with Christ in heavenly places. Demons don't operate here. Arrows don't come here. No too high, too high, too high. I'm out of range. I'm out of range when you start the warfare. One of the things that the army do is they get the range of the missiles of the enemy. So if your enemy missiles stop here, put your worship here. That's what they do. They put their their own worship beyond the range. So shoot one thousand arrow they will fall here. Then may I will shoot one and destroy you. I'm out of rage amount of range for devils. When they shoot out their arrows, they fall, and I would look at it. No one that I said, no weapon fashioned against you. Prosper He said, A thousand and four by your side, He said, ten thousand by your right hand. He said, shall not come near you. So the devil is firing, no doubt, But I'm out of range. That's life, out of range, amount of range. The resurrection took you out of range, out of the range of cancer, out of the range of failure, out of the range of death. I'm out of range. You know, I was following this, this war going on in the midle East, and I had They said, the Iranian Revolutionary God shot hundreds of missiles towards the US's Gerald four, that's one of their warships, their carriers, aircraft carriers. They now shifted, I mean now shifted backward by some meters where the missile reach. That means if you shoot missiles now, you're worthy your amor a more. Rich Here. In the resurrection, you went out of range. Don't let Certain think see has power. You are out of range. His arrow of sickness can't get you, his arrow of death can't get you. But you must stay out of range through your consciousness. That's why we stay here. I'm not arguing that Certain is not fighting. I'm not arguing that Certain is not shooting. He's working harder than we can imagine. But we're out of range. So long as we stain the resurrection, it's called the newness of life. That's why we make progress and impact so much so it looks like certain does not exist out of range because of time. Finally, the Resurrection saycurres your priesthood and commissions you for impact. Hebrew seven twenty five. He said, we are for his able also to save them to the utmost that come on to God by him seeing he leave that to make. Intercession for them. Before I pray, the intercession and the works of Jesus already covered me. So my prayer is to agree with what he has said and what he has done. That's why the Bible said he has said that we may broadly say. So when I say I am healed, before I ever say I am healed, he already said I was healed. Before I say I am the head, he already said I was the head. Before I say I am victorious, he already said I'm more than conqueror. So all my intercession are sacros sand because of his intercession. So my prayer, I trust my prayer because of his prayer. There's nothing I am saying that he's out of the syllables or what he has already said. In fact, before you even go to God and say forgive me, Lord, he already said you are forgiven. Before you say, Lord, trustper me, he already said you are prosperous. Before you say, Lord, give me victory, he already said you are more than conqueror. So the reason we pray and have freed in prayer. Is because he has prayed all the syllables or prayer that will ever pray. I was discussing about forgiveness with past of Godwill recently, and I told him one of the biggest arguments about forgiveness is forgiveness of future scenes. When you say somebody's future scenes are forgiven, they say you are giving them ticket for lasserviousness. The first thing is that. Now that you have not told them, are they're not seeing whom they're seen in the future. And if future scenes are not forgiven, are we not condemned already? Because what are we going to do about our things? So the people who argue that future scenes are not forgiven, the reason they're arguing it, Number one is for the moral persuasion that people should not now become lass civious, and number two is because we feel good when we think we also contribute to our forgiveness. So The guy who is saying future scenes are not forgiven believes that future scenes are forgiven, but he thinks that he needs to confess and repent so that it feels that he did something. But the question is all the scenes we sened are in the future, because before you and I was born, the Bible already said. We were forgiven. We have not seen. We have not even been born. Hope you're not. These scriptures we are using is what our children we also use when they see the one we have not given bed to. The Bible already said they are forgiven. This is the same scripture we will read to them and tell them your sins are forgiven. They are not yet born. That means their forgiveness has already been released before they were born. Are you following? Why am I saying this anything we ever pray for, Jesus already covered for it before you pray it. So the reason your prayer is potent, it is not because of you, It's because of Him. That's why when you pray, believe it. When you put hand on your stomach and you say pain, get out, believe that prayer we walk because before you prayed, Jesus already addressed that pain. If you stand and say, no weapon fashioned against me, we prosper believe it because before you said it, Jesus said it. If you stand and say, my business, this ministry, we prosper believe it because Jesus already declared that you will prosper. If he didn't pray, your prayer would have been defective. But if you know that he has prayed, when you pray, believe the prayer, believe it. Why do I want my boat to say my sins are forgiven? Because he already prayed my forgiveness before I prayed it. The Bible said in Arts of the Apostles, chapter three, verse twenty three. If you read to verse twenty seven, you will see what the Bible said concerning our forgiveness, and the same thing applied to everything. Before you ever ask for healing, he already provided it the same way he provided for your healing. That's how he provided for your forgiveness. So when we are dealing with future scenes, is about receiving forgiveness, not whether or not is provided. It's already provided. Your future scenes are already forgiven. Whether you receive it or not is your choice. Your future healing is already provided. Whether you receive it or not is your choice. Your future breakthrough is already provided. Whether you receive it or not is your choice. There's nothing God is. Doing now. In Christ, he has done everything. Our job is to keep taking, is to keep receiving, is to keep collecting. That's what we are doing here. But all of that is possible because of resurrection. That's why you. Don't need to add drama. Where you are praying, pray from rest, Pray from faith. I know people who will naked themselves around twelfth midnight, stand before the moon. Don't make any principality appear to you. You are not an astrologer. Father, say my nakedness. Did you read anywhere in the Bible that your nakedness move things in the spirit? Did you see anywhere in the New Testament that if you're when you are naked, then it begins to move things? Where do where do we get these things from? They will go to the river and said the way the river is flowing when they path inside in the night, or their problem we flow away. Where did you read it? It looks like when God makes it simple, we say it's too simple to be true. When we enter two hundred level. We were doing the court card ordinary differential equation. The first thing the electoral I told us is here one plus one is two. Don't come and say no, this is ad one plus one can be too. There's something, let's look for it. What is what are they trying to do? He said, no, there are. Complex things here. But if you see one plus one one plus one is. Two, take it like that. I looked at somebody came and say, as you pray for him and saying the name of Jesus, you are healed. Person looked at me and says that or what else can I do that is more powerful than the name of Jesus. You know what he wants me to do? My lege say quack quack. Then now we hogging and oh. And shap. Shake glass. If I'm led by the Holy Girls, that will do it. But if I'm not lad in the name of Jesus, be healed in. The power is in the name of Jesus. The power is in the Gospel. If God makes it hard, you can't pay. Now that they has made this simple, accept it. Hope. You know God wanted to forgive them in the wilderness. The moment Moses came. They said, whatever God said we should do, we will do. God say, tell them to stay back. God nam began to read our commandments. No one kept it. Jesus came. He said, decline the name of Jesus or lay hands on the sick. You want to lay yourself. You want to use your need to climb mountain first. If God make it hard, can you pay hope? You know the price Jesus paid. He died on the cross. He was buried for three days. He rose from the dead for sickness to be healed. Can you rise from the dead for that cancer to go? The gospel is simple. That's the beauty of the gospel. This simplicity that right now, where you are seated, you don't even need to talk. Based on what you have heard. You can look into your spirit and say this pain go forever in the name of Jesus, and you'll be shocked it we go. You can say this repeated pattern of reproach. I command you to break forever and it will go. You can say this too, more, I'm in the realm of life. Leave in the name of. Jesus and it will leave. You can say this bone degenerate bone. I command you receive strength, and you can't receive strength. Is there no better than offering elephant? Somebody called me recently and said she wants to give me prophetic direction. He said, any ought. I believe me as you take a cow and go and slaughter dead. She got it in the place of prayer, and she leave me out of compassion. She says she's seen a pattern and anti I sacrificed that cow. I said, no, God, I've sacrificed something bigger than the cow on my behalf. I don't need a cow a girl. Jesus has died for me. There's no cow that can be equal to Jesus. I accept the sacrifice. See, accept it as simple as it is. How many of you are ready? How many are ready? I don't know. See you don't know what your problem is. But it's not bigger than the power that rose Jesus from the dead. And if God tells you he has brought you to authority, better believe it. If God tells you he has brought you to the newness of life, better believe it. If God tells you that Jesus is praying for you, so be bold to pray. Believe it. Believe it, believe it, believe it. It will work. Can we pray for one minute, whatever your own problem is, forget the next person by your side. The Holy God is already wi sparring into my spirit some of the things that is already doing. See that's the benevolence of God. The moment to make up your mind to believe, God begins to act even before you act. God is gracious, God is whispering. Place your hand on your chest. Whatever that challenge is. It can be a tumor, it can be a blurry vision. It can be a pain on the body. It can be a broken bone, It can be a circumstantial issue. Whatever it is. I want you to believe this gospel by putting it to work yourself. Please, as much as it's within your power, put away destruction. It doesn't matter how long that thing has been there. It doesn't matter who told you. Whatever this is what the word of God said, believe it. In one minute, you are going to make a declaration. He ela you a hello. Has he. You are. My she said you you send to your words. You hear and you hear my disease. You are the Lord, You are the money. Oh you are the Lord. You are the Lord that by that you are the Lord. You are hell, my my heed. You said you want. You send to your words, you hear, and you heal my disease. You are. My my. You sent your world and you healed my disease. You are alone. You are my head. She sent you. You send your word and you and you healed my disease. You are alone. You are why He How do you receive? Believe the gospel. Allow it to form your consciousness. Don't let any other philosophy control your mind. I know some of you must have heard what's happening to you. You need to go to your village. You need to apologize to elders. You need to FECh some remove those things from your head. Just believe when he rose from the dead, he took away sickness, It took away death, It took away sin. Believe that it brought you into authority. Believe that it gave you a life that is above death and reproach. Allow that to form your only consciousness. Now, when you get there, then declare what you want consistent with what he did. And when you finish declaring, act it out. Meaning you may have an injury in the leg. You believe you were healed because it died and rose from the dead. You believe nothing else can stop that healing. And then you declare. For the injury to go. And when you declare, start walking. It is believing, consciousness, declaration, and corresponding action that releases the power. Anybody working in power knows this formula. Believe, be conscious, declare, and act. Nothing can stop the manifestation. Put your hand on your chest. Whatever that challenge is, you don't need to shout. It's not in the volume. It's the supply of the spirit. I want you to address that team by name and command it to leave you, now, not later. Now go deep into your spirit. Shut your eyes, Shut out every distruction. Whatever it is that has followed you, that's made it impossible for you to set to them maritally when people come, they're missing to pretty you. Whatever it is that has kept that fibroid, kept that tumor, Stop that eyes from seeing, stop that ear from hearing. Today is the last day. Command that thing to leave you forever. In the name of Jesus, commanded his Lord. He brought you into authority, He gave you life. Nothing can stop you as you are praise some of you, the anointing will come on you. Cast it to leave you. Whatever has moved ahead of you, blocked roads, block those of opportunity, your struggle, struggle, you can't enter. Command it to disappear. Now. Whatever has hindered your promotion, whatever force, whatever power commanded to go, be serious. Now address it like you are giving a command. He can't stay. He died, was buried, rose from the dead. You don't need especially anointed person for your life to go forward. When you meet one is a blessing. But whether you meet one or not, the Gospel has fortified you. Keep Brother Dave the mic he He he has rereathed from the dead. He is Lord Fludia, every. Ship, every. Card, some of you demos will leave your body now we sends them go out of you sees Lord.

In Romance Time verse nine say, if you believe in your heart the Lord Jesus, confess with your mouth you shall be saved. You believe it dominates your consciousness. You confess you walk into your salvation. Nothing stops it. Heart, problems disappear, two months disappear, pains disappear, doors open, And when you now see it walking every day of your life, you can engage it in your shop, in your family, everywhere.

Now lift your hands toward heaven. All your healings are permanent. In the name of Jesus. What happened to you? What happened to you? So my dad has a pertial stroke, yes, and he was a tomb Sometimes it can stand as you start unating on his body. So I gave you a wit with the body in the estable to pray. It's very hard for me. So as you say, we should keep declaring. All of his sudden is like a heavy weight and load from my heart. Just drop out. We stand between faith. We declared. It's done in Jesus' name. What happened to your brother? So difficult? It in breathing. Difficulty in breathing. Let's year him like. Yesterday I came back from work. I had something else, had to coming home. I came back and I was freeing. I was reele chalking kind of so I. I played up lad and I slept. So this is when I woke up this one trying to get to once again. Then I said better, it looked like I get to church in money. It stopped. Let that little start again. So little I entered year. I was still virgin. So literally said, well you shoot, we are lost.

Lift your hands and honor him. You can return to your seats, giving God glory. Gift your right hands to what heavened. I want to speak over you. When I was meditating preparing for this service, the Lord dropped in my spirit the word victory. And so I know this month for us is the month of victories, is the month of victories. Victory in your health, victory over scene, victory over devils, victory in relationships, victory over all forces that. Contend with you. I stand by the authority of the prophetic word, and I decree that this month of April shall be a month. Of victory for you. The same way dead could not hold him captive. Nothing shall by enemies keep you captive. In the name of Jesus Christ, every body you have fought until now, arise and come out victorious. Arise and come out victorious in the name of Jesus Christ. When he rose from the dead, he wrote, with all power in the name of Jesus, in your going out and coming in, let it be by power power to. Give you victory. Fiftory of our positions of men, vitree of our positions of nature, vitree over contrady circumstances, vitree over demonically engineered thecumstances. Receive it in the name of Jesus Christ.
