THE SPIRITUAL GYM

Lelua, can we I don't know her name yet, but I like us to appreciate our sister. If you do business in the deep places, you will know how much a minstrel that knows the ways of the spirit, how you know how much you need such a personality? Can we can we meanwhile see me at the end of this service, in the name of Jesus. All right, we need to pick some prayer points quickly? Can you turn your bible to the Book of Ephesians Chapter three, Chapter three, our le luyer ephicients, chapter three, beginning from verse fourteen. Process. For this cause, I borrow my knees onto the Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and Earth is named, that it will grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by His spirit in the inner man. Might that is the currency of giants. Might, that is the ability that sustains you in the midst of warfare. Might. Can we pray in the moment of time in the words of Apostle Paul, we must be strengthened with my destiny is an undertaking that requires mind. The kingdom of darkness will throw every instrument that you in order to make you feel your own fit to deliver upon your destiny. But when God steps in and he revitalizes your spirit and galvanizes you with mind, there is no situation that you cannot overcome. And many times God does not take away the situation. He only changes you. He adds capacity to you so that the situation becomes unfit according to the calculations of the enemy to be able to stop you. Now, when the devil wants to come against you, he manufactures weapons. These weapons that Seta manufactures are custom mad. They're taken to inventory your dimensions, your capacity, your your ability. But you see what God does is that he allows the devil to form the weapons. Then he adds might to you. It means all the calculations of the devil become wrong. Can we ask for might so that even in twenty twenty five it will be obvious that certain has miscalculated concerning your life, concerning my life. Strengthen me with might, Strengthen me with might. Someone cried to him, Cry to him, Cry to him, Cry to him. Strengthen me with might.

Some of the symptoms of strange if you have received strength. These are the kind of things you do. He said, for by D I have run through a troop, and by my God, I have leaped over a wall. So when contention comes against you, you know. The Bible says that if you fall on the day of adversity, it's an indication of the fact that the measure of your strength is small. That means your height is not the measure of your strength. Your bow tie doesn't give us insight into your capacity, but we know your capacity in the day of adversity. What becomes of the day of adversity is a measure of your strength. And the sam is saying that, by D what did he do? He ran through a troop, not two men or a troop, to show you the engine that he's working with. By my goal, what I have leaped over. These abilities he did not have in himself, but because he was strended. Is there a world that has confined you. You've been quarantined, You've been kept localized. You've not been able to move beyond one spot, beyond one place. You can change the variable by asking God to administer strength, change the variable. You've been trusting God for a certain aspect of your life to open, but there was no energy, so you've been contained by the forces of containment. Saturn has succeeded to keep you on that spot because he has measured your energy in the flesh. So they've changed, and the fetters that he has made is consistent with his perception of your energy. Can we ask God to change the varium. He can change the varum. He can strengthen your spirit. He can strengthen your spirit, and suddenly you discover that you have capacity to go beyond that troop. Suddenly you discover that you have capacity to lip over. Oh my God, I take a lip in twenty twenty five, I leap over in the name of Jesus. I leap over in the name of Jesus. Boselli Cababo Liar prescott a cambella z ra is can't break a tartos caba mantelly. Yes, I need capacity to leap. They are limitations that sickle contain me. Limitations that's sick to quarantine me living, limitations that's sick to confine me. God, I receive strength in capacity, even in the spirit, by the strengthening of the spirit of God, so that I might lip I might lip friends. You can leap, You can leap, you can break through the troop. You can break through the troop. In the name of Jesus.

Let that be evidence in every life, in every destiny, that because you increased our measure, our capacity, we went beyond the expectation of the kingdom of darkness. In the name of Jesus, Thank your Father. In Jesus' mighty name once again welcomes someone to the House of God. So how many of us still remember some of the scriptures that we made reference to yesterday. To introduce the aspect of the lecture that has to do with exercise in your spirit, we consulted with Lok chapter one, verse eighty, and in Look chapter one, verse eighty, the Babu says, and the child grew and worked strong in spirit, and was in the desert till the day of his showing onto is ray air. There was a way he grew. There was an orientation that underguarded his growth. His growth was according to strength in the spirit. Having fully evaluated the prophetic world that went forth over his life, there was only one way he could develop himself in order for him to be fit to prosecute that destiny. It was a development that has a bias for his spirit. For his spirit, the Bible says, he works strong in spirit. And this speaking about John the Baptist, we also saw Jesus in the Book of Luke, chapter two, verse number forty. It's a summary of twelve years of his life. Twelve years of his life. The child grew and worked strong in spirit, filled with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon him. Now I like you to I would like to show you a snapshot of this child that began to grow and this child that works strong in spirit. I like to show you a snapshot of his capacity at the age of twelve. And the reason why I'm doing this is to encourage you that if you have not worked strong in spirit, and maybe you have made some attendments, some academy make attainments, some business attainments, some ministry attainments, and you have not worked strong in spirit, I want to tell you that if you begin to work strong in spirit, the attendments that you are going to see find expression in your life is such that is such measure of attainments that can never result from other forms of development. Outside of spirit development. There is a unique expression, a unique coloration that accompanies a man that has achieved some measure of spiritual attainment. So I like us to look at the life of Jesus at the age of twelve. The summary was that it grew are you there walks strong in spirit, failed with wisdom, and the grace of God was upon it. Okay, come with me to look Chapter two, verse forty one. Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the Passover, and when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast, and when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem, and Joseph and his mother knew not of it, but they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey, and they sought him among their king's foot and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem seeking him. And it came to pass that after three days that found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctor's boat, answering them and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his answers. That let's take let's let's try to understand what this is a snapshot of Jesus the child, someone whose development had a bias in the area of spiritual strength. Are you there all right? Now? You see, in Hebrew culture, in order for you to be proclaimed a man, you must started the Torah, the five books of Moses, Genesis, Exodus, Liberticos, Numbers, and the Autonomy. And you will sit before doctors of the law, and I will ask you a few questions, and you're supposed to provide answers. If you answer all the questions that are thrown not to you, then they will declare you a man. Because in the context of hyperculture, if you become a man, a man is supposed to be a prolific teacher of the customs, the cultures, and the ways of God. So that system of standardization is a system that was put in place in order to be able to produce men that can disciple their children in the way of the law. Do you understand that now? So, Jesus stayed back in Jerusalem so that he could His parents were not aware of the fact that he wanted to take a shot at the table of the doctors, so it was not planned when they left home. They were not living home with the mind that Jesus was going to sit on the hot seat but Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, and this was the nature of his own interview. When he was confronted by the doctors are used they would be forty seven, and all that had him were astonished. No, no, no, les forty six, and he kept to pass that. After three days that found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them and asking them questions. Excuse me on this ceremony. The doctors or the law were the ones supposed to be They were the ones supposed to be asking him questions. But when the parents came, they found out that he was the one asking the doctors questions. And unfortunately for the doctors. The next verse will give you an idea of what happened after I asked them question Unfortunately for the doctors that could not answer the questions. So the Bible says all that had him were astonished at this understanding and answered. He asked the questions the doctors could not answer, he himself had to answer the question. That was a snapshot at the age of twelve, that's number one. So at the age of twelve, he confounded the wisdom of the doctors of the law, if there was vacancy in the school of doctors, you should have been employed because of his dexterity, because of his understanding. And I like you to understand that the source of this understanding that he has is not because he attended the best schools. The reason was because he had developed spirit capacity. See, now you people are not falling if if you developed spirit capacity, they had dimensions of understanding that we come to you. That is not a function of the fact that you appeared before a lecture. No. In fact, there are several things that you cannot even understand except by faith. For the Bible says, by fate, we understand that the words were framed, but the word of God and the things that are seen were not made of things that do appear. It will need, it will require a spirit that has capacity to be able to understand some things that do not appear. So Jesus became a spectacle in the midst of the certification process because of the depth of his understanding. There came by reason of his intactours with the Holygos and his answers. You know, initially when he began to work strong in spirit, the Bible says he was full of wisdom and what the grace of God was upon him. You still remember that scripture at the age of twelve. He was not just full of wisdom, he was full of understanding and is so understood that it could provide answers on the wall of many nations. They are questions for those of you that are like me from some of the nations on the continent of Africa. You know how many questions we have in our nations and the reasons why the questions have not been answered is because men of understanding have not yet come. We have intellectuals. Oh, you're not with me. We have professors. Those days when I was student in the oil industry, in the cabinet of the Nigerian government, we had technocrats, technocrats that were champions in their own fields in different parts of the country. Because the president at the time believed in professionalism, so he brought champions and captains of different fields and gave them ministerialfolios. That was when we realize that they're boded and what the deviled that nation was spiritual because these guys could deliver anywhere they world. When they were brought into that context, they lacked understanding and answers. Oh you're not with me. You will find the answers you seek this time. People that are devoid of answers are people that have not exercised their spirit. The moment you begin to exercise your spirit, you are brought into a different pavilion. You're brought into a place, a space, a space where you are giving access to understanding so that you can provide answer. This is a different kind of skill. This kind of skill. You may not lend it. You may not you may not acquire it in a school of technology. This kind of skill comes because you have definite looked spiritual capacity. There was once upon a time one of our members in one of the branches. Because I was around, she ran to me and said, hey, my daughter is getting married. Let me bring us for you to bless her. I said, okay, that's a good idea. And when she brought her daughter, I said, this one is dead. Now she didn't believe me. I said this, this is your daughter is dead. I said, okay, let me show you. So. I now began to pray for her. She fell down and you know this black this the eyes, this black what they call it, They thing went up. That was how she was for t ten minutes, said this are normal human behaves. So we had to cast out the spirit of debt. And you need to see the reaction that took place that day just after the casting out of debt. And I told that your daughter is fit for marriage. Now. Now, so what she now asked me when we went to the office was how do you understand these things? There's no school where the lean deliverance. It comes with your spirit, of my If you increase the capacity of your spirit, you will have understanding and what and answers. So that's the first symptom that we're going to see upon your life. Understanding doesn't matter what set and cloths that to you. You have understanding and you have answers. That's a proof that you have bountiful, bountiful spirit capacity understanding and answers. That's the first ability, the first skill that your life will produce. Okay, So number two, verse forty eight. And when they saw him, they were amazed. And his mother said, unto him, son, why as doubt does dealt with us? Behold thy father and I have sought these sorrowing And he said, unto them, how is it that he sought me? Whilst ye not that I must be about my father's business. This this baby Jesus had larity about his destiny. You might see people that have PhD, and I know they are PhD holders among us academic doctors in our miss you might see it's as that I don't want to do this in this class today. Out of course, some of the academic doctors in our miss and I interviewed the quizzed them like the doctors of the law, to see if they had knowledge of their purpose? Are you ad me? It is possible for you to have been in the classroom and you have acquired a PhD degree, and I salute you for that. It took a lot of regor. I remember when my sister is in there was doing PhD. She was calling for prayers almost everything I'm wondering now, So she's a doctor. But the point is this, it is possible for you to have exacted yourself academically to that extent, but yet you are oblivious as to what you have purposed the errand that Heaven dispatched you from above to accomplish upon the face of the earth. The Mother came to him and said, what's this that you have done? To us. You left us sorrowful. And he was amazed that he didn't need know where he was supposed to be. He was amazed, how come you did not know that I was supposed to be in my father's house. He had clarity, so much clarity. Once upon a time in Nigeria, young minister's like myself, the inin thing was to start traveling to some nations so that you can build your CV. You know, I've been to Switzerland. I was in France. Allelujah, you're a tourist. So then I asked me, where have you been to I say, it's not time for that. Two times I had invitations to preach in Germany. I sent our pastor, a pastor in the city of Kaduna, Nigeria, go represent me. I was supposed to go to Spain. I sent our evangelists I was supposed to go to It was not time. It was clear to me that it wasn't time. And then people began to bully me and bulieving that I'm a jew guy, that you are just preaching the village and look at champion. So I now made up my mind that I would prove that I can go somewhere. So got everything together. And then on the day before I traveled and I had a dream that I was at the boot, the custom boot, no, sorry, the immigration boot, in a certain nation. And when I gave them my passport, then I opened it and there was no visit. So I went back to first and God now told me that the fact that you have money to pay for tickets does not mean that I said. I stopped that completely. May you not be found in the rat race in the name of Jesus. Christ. Jesus was clear. Clarity of purpose was a function of the fact that he had developed spiritual a facity. So we entered upon the emphasis yesterday, the emphasis of spiritual exercising your spirit the Holy Ghost. Are you there? One more scripture? First Correnians, chapter six, verse seventeen. I will never get tired of referring to this scripture. First Corenian chapter sixth, verse seventeen. The bable says, but he that is joined onto the Lord is one spirit. So the investment that Heaven made upon your spirit the moment you gave your life to Christ is that the Lord, who is the Holy Spirit, was joined to your spirit. But that means all that Heaven has to offer the resources, backing reinforcement capacity has been given to you. But and I think we should say amen to that. Just like Jesus was in the boat with the rest of the disciples and there was a storm and they were about to drown, he was sleeping, So Jesus, the sleeping Jesus is of no help to you. The sleeping Holy ghosts is of no help to you. It's in the same boat with you. So if you don't exercise your spirit so that the Holy ghosts will come alive, you might not receive the benefits of His presence and the benefits of this infrastructure that has been set up in the New Covenant, which we call the infrastructure of the Main Good Spirit. This infrastructure guarantees that God is more closer to you than your breath. This infrastructure of the One Spirit infrastructure guarantees that God is more can be more intimate with you than your wife. He can be so close that he can filter his thoughts through your thoughts. If you know where to look, you'll find him. He can be so near that you can sense his movements, you can feel his emotions, you can know when he's happy. He's not speaking, he's just making you experiencing. When you understand the one spirit economy, you will now realize that God has non cognitive communications. He has communicated successfully with your spirit, but he did not take your mind a long you experienced him. But you understanding is own fruitful. That is possible because of the one spirit economy. So this one spirit economy is the height of the revelation of the New Testament. There are four high peak revelations. This is one of them. We need a full a moment when we are ready. Will not do the high pick revelations. This one spirit economy will need to do it for four This the blessing of this reality. Are you there now? But you see, even though God has set up this infrastructure to ensure that none of us can escape him, you bump into him. If you begin to pray, you bump into him. If you begin to worship, you bump into him. You know he said up that thing, but if you don't exercise your spirit, you're not going to see the benefit of that arrangement. Hence, we need to visit the spiritual gym. I was trying to show you some advance is that Apostle Paul gave us the first advice we saw in the Book of Romance chapter twelve, verse eleven is a be not sloughtful in business, but pavent in spirit. So if you choose to be slotful in business, it is counterproductive. You are not going to maximize the provisions that have being made available. The second counsel he gives us is that when you stay up the gift of God, which is in us second Timultive chapter one, verse six, and the seven stay it up. It means that if you decide to align with dormant and you refuse to stay it up, you will not profit from it. You must take the initiative to exercise your spirit before you begin to profit. Please help me preach to your neighbor. You must take the initiative to begin to exercise your spirit to profit from the Holy Ghost. How many of you still remember the scripture that says that the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit with our How many of you still remember that scripture? Do you realize that the scripture says that it is when the Spirit of God manifests that we profit, not when the Spirit of God is domant. It is the manifestation of the Spirit that is given to every one of us to profit from the profit others to profit with it is the manifestation. So we need to exercise our spirit to stay up the operation of the holy ghosts in that staring he manifests and in this manifestation on with profit, they get that. So stay up. And then in the book of Efficients that six I'm still trying to counsel us counsels from the book from the Apostle Paul, Efficients chapter six. In Efficients chapter six, Apostle Paul gives us a full inventory of what we call the armor of God. The question that most believers are not asking is how do you use the ammor Do you still remember David? He was given the armor of the king, but he could use it, so he nam begged the king to later aside because he has not proved it. He has not exercised himself with the ammor many of us, the fact that you have an ammor on doesn't mean you are safe. You need to know how to use it, because the armor can be a trap if you have not proved it. Oh, you know, with me can be a trap. And if for David it is going to be a trap. You see, I have not proved this. If I stand before go Liat, this might be the prison that will make him gain access to me. I know you've heard of the sort of the spirit, the helmetal salvation, the breastplate of righteousness, the belt of truth, the gospel boot. I know you heard of all these things, but you never asked, how do we use it efficiency chatter. I'm still giving you cancel. We have not gone to the gym nesume yet. This counsel just to show you that everywhere you go in scripture, there's an admonition for you to exercise your spirit. That they benefits that grace brings to you will not be active if your spirit is not excesscise. Can you I don't know how to preach it to you, but preach it to your neighbor. Exercise your spirit. I remember as a family, we were on that torment, all kinds of devils, terrible things taking place. Then one day my dad just say, you know what, let's begin to pray. Let's begin to pray, Okay. I mean this is the same intellect of my dad, the great mind, the one that has an explanation for why everything is happening here will when something comes you, we just come from one anger, say you know the reason why this is happening. So for that great mind to come and say, you know what, let's pray, it was an economy because we used to pray and hide. Why do you pray when the great mind is telling you he knows why everything? When he terribleut it, you said no, you say that you know you see you guys are not observed. You are not observed. See this this one here, that is why this You know in this have you read? You will quote somebody quote according to this. In nineteen ninety four, my brother was sick. Even the doctor said all of the tests came out clean. When he came back with the test results home, he got all of us. I say it is time to pray. And it was a welcome call from that moment with the gang, So it was no longer a legal to pray. What do you know that the whole family changed till today just because we say we exercise our spirit as a family, our corporate ability became enamous. But we didn't know that the teens were afraid of we're actually afraid of us. Oh my god, why is it we still on tail with that? In efficients chapter six verse eighteen. This is the key to opperating the armor is praying always with all prayer and s applications. Where praying and watching are the two ways to use the armor, it still has to do with exercise in your spirit. It means that God has paid the price to make the armor available to you. But the armory is not going to be effective. It's not going to be functional. It's not going to be useful if you are not praying always with all prayer, not just the prayer of faith, not just the prayer of thanksgiving, all prayer, all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching the on to with all invariance. That means with all consistency and supplication for all sins. That if you are operating like this in an automated, spirit energized environment, the weapons will be operational. So you cannot operate the weapons with a docile spirit. And that's why I say be not slot for in business. So all of these are counsels given to us by the apossible. They are designed to invite us into the gymnasium of the spirit to exercise our spirit capacity and see the wonders of the Holy goes within us. Made manifest I don't know how many believers all over the world will accept this call to enter into the gym the same way, the same way you entered into the gym. I told you that my trainer came. He said, raised. I raised like this. He said, raise here. I raised like this. He said, you like this, real like this. When I finished the drill, he said, you're sixty years old. That means that means I was far from feet. But when we began the process, the stiff places give way. I never knew that I be like a mustang. Oh my god. And after a while I looked at myself in the mirror. You know I do that a lot. I called my wife, said, are you seeing what? Holy lawyer? Are you? Hey? I saw a golden frame coming out. You may not believe it. Don't worry. I'm convinced by myself because I exercised myself and I was wondering, how old are you in this? Some of you are ninety five years old. In the Swritish Steve, Steve, Oh my god, Steve. When we run an analysis, Hey, no you're not. You're in the Swedish. Even the tongues they are old, and the oil is not circulated this old. So there's an invitation for us to come into the gymnasium to exercise spirit the same way they work strong in spirit because of exercise. It is not natural you will exercise yourself onto it exercise. So a prophetic person is given to deliberate intentional spiritual exercise as a normal part of his or her life. Deliberate intentional, not when you feel like it. No, it's deliberate. It's part of the drill. If you have exercise your spirit for twenty years and she has exercise has spirit for ten years, it will be obvious that you ha seen you. When you stand in the area of your grace, your horn, your authority, and you manifest from that area, it will be obvious that you are. You can be edge mates, but not spirit mats based on exercise. So we exercise ourselves onto this. Even even godliness, when you give your life to Christ, you're not just become godly. No, you will exercise yourself onto it when you give your life to Christ. If you were heavy on alcohol, you still want to hold the green bottle, and the day you hold it, the Holy Spirit will now express it displeasure. You'll not know ah, this bottle and the Holy Goos cannot mix. So you exercise. You will still see the bottle the next day and you will like it. But because you want to continue your journey with Holy Goos, you stay away from that which it doesn't like. You're exercising yourself onto godness. A time will come. Even if you see the green bottle, it doesn't attract you because of exercise. Are you there? So every form of advancement you make in the teens of God is going to be by reason of the fact that you have found the mind of God in Scripture. And then you begin to exercise yourself towards it, and then the grace of God begins to feel you up. The grace of God doesn't come instantly. You begin to exercise yourself first, and then subsequently the grace of God will begin to feel you. Most of you here don't know that I was born in Stammarai. If there was anybody that was supposed to preach, it was not me. But the call kept haunting me in the university and all of that. And when I accepted the call, I tried to exercise myself and it started getting better. I started overcoming the stammary only when I preach, and have one exercised myself for so many years, even when I'm not preaching, I have overcome the stamminy. The grace as overflowed. Exercise yourself when I saw your worshiping today, because you can't worship like that if your spirit is not okay. You you know your craft, you know it, and you might see it and then you say, oh, she is so gifted. Indeed she is. But listen to me. Do you know how gifts manifest is the product of exercise. She has found out the exercises she needs to put in place to be on that. They cannot be of the inspiration of the Holy goos to bring first things from heaven. That's not natural. It's by exercise. Sometimes I'll be starting the Bible or come my wife, I said, can you interpret this verse? You say, we are like beds when you finish, God are in it our marts old just put it there. Because she knows this is the area of my grace. I should be the one exercising myself in nat regard. She's an intercessor. She knows her trade. Are you there me? I can stay all night on the Bible. After doing that one, then in the morning, I have to speak in tongues to digest what I studied, so that he becomes living and active. It's alife, not just the logos, but they live in word of God. I exercised myself to this level, and the last time God came to assess me, he said, you are just that. So that means I still need to remain in the gym. Please help me tell your neighbor remain in the gym. All right, let's go to the gym. The first equipment we need to pick from this gym. How many equipments are in this gym? Well, first equipment is the Book of Asks Chatter one, verst eight Acts, Chapter one, Verse number eight. First equipment. We are going to look at just the first equipment. Tonight Tomorrow we pick the second equipment. And please as we begin to unveil the equipment. When we do the unveil the direct equipment here, go home and practice it. So we're expecting that at the end of the first thing, those of you that have two and a half packs like me, out of the six packs you have to and a have, we're expecting that at the end of the first thing, your golden frame in the spiritual come out, allelujah, so that when we said check like this, the results will come out. Where in the name of Jesus. Okay, in actual one Perse eight, the Bible says, this is Jesus speaking one of these days. You know, I told you that the Book of Access are textbook where emisteries of reviv' that's our business revival and the textbook of how to turn the nations to the Lord for all tongues and all tribes begin to function according to the nation. The prescription of all of the acts in the Book of Acts that passes, and we'll find time to do some detailed panoramic view off the Book of Acts. It's a wonderful piece and somewhat of my best book in the Bible. Okay. So in Acts chapter one, as you will see when we come for the full exposition of the Book of Acts, what is taking place in the Book of Acts chapter one is a lecture ite, a capacity building forum. We are going to peep into Jesus's lecture notes subsequently, and then you will see all the things that it taught them in his capacity building enterprise and the reason for the capacity building was because he was going to be taken into the heavens and his disciples, We're going to be the functionaries that were responsible for extending the frontiers of the Kingdom of God. Are you there? So now, in view of the above, we had to educate them. We had to build capacity among them so that they will understand what it means to extend the frontiers of the Kingdom of God. In Acts, Chapter one, verse eight, he confronts them with a very strong beginning, a very strong beginning statement. And what it confronts them with is that we cannot extend the frontiers or the Kingdom of God outside of power. Power is a most relevant resource. If we are expecting two extend the influence of Christ upon the face of the earth, the place of power cannot be over emphasized. God knew that Facebook will come, He knew that YouTube will come. But kingdom advancement Facebook does not replace power. It's Cetain minutes of the Gospel. He normally makes investments Facebook investments, and the reason for the investments is so that Facebook can help him spread. They advertised the church all over the world, in Asia, in everywhere, and Facebook was faitful to the contract. I don't know how much he was paying, but Facebook was quite faithful to the contract. And at the end of the day, when you're analyze to see that there's been highten number of views and possibly likes, which is the substitute for power in our time, views and likes. Unfortunately for him, he studied the algorithm and they began to mine the data, and he found out that he had a sizeable number follow us in a certain city, and that informed the need for him to visit that city. Unknown to him, Facebook did not capture the statistics of demons in the city. May they long give your understanding? Instagram did not capture the number of warlocks that were into private practice in that you know. Uh. When he came back from that mission, he stopped paying Facebook money. May they lot give your understanding? Play sabretary or neighbor, you sh power? Mm, So we need power to do in fact in the eyes of Jesus, and not for you to prosecute natural life. You need power. When he was trying to give us a description of the people that believed in him, it says, these are the science that will follow them that believe in my name. They will do cast art devils. These are not natural science. Those are super natural science. So Jesus is saying that the way you know my people is by supernatural science, is by power. This is their most natural state of existence. In the motor park. When they find people with devils, they can cast out devils. They don't need the service to be able to cast our devils. They don't need are you doing? That's what they do. I remember those days in the oil industry. I was the senior staff, so we there is a specification of the kind of office that I can be in. So when the cleaners are coming to clean, they're afraid of us. And one cleaner looked at me for a long time and came one days, I know you are passed. This is my problem. We did a deliverance session copy in the office my cap if the kingdom we advanced, and that's a very sophisticated corporate environment. By the time that it was spread abroad that deliverance services were available in the facility, you might see people so high in the ranks they actually need deliverance. They need they're in trouble. That I can tell you this because I was there in that reason of the corporate world, and you need power. So Jesus told them that, say, you can't do this business without power, and it will be necessary for us to investigate for the conduct and linguistic investigation. Because in the Greek there are four words for power. So which word did Jesus use in this particular sculpture? Are you there? If you click on the lexicon, your finder is dunamis, So Jesus said, you shall receive dunamis. After that the holy ghost is come upon you. Now, Dunamis has two meanings in the Greek language. The first meaning of dunamis is inherent ability inherent ability. The second meaning of dunames is potential ability, potential ability. Okay, so words past to Mike. What kind of phone do you use? There? iPhone, Apple Phone? I don't know that one. The phone I know is Samsung. Samson has an Android operating system. And if you want an application for some song, you go to Google Store. Then you find the application you downloaded. When you download it, it has downloaded for twenty five percent, for forty percent, for eighty five percent, and then four hundred percent. The moment you achieve that download, that application becomes part and parcel of your phone. It is inherent with your phone. And the meaning of that is that you don't need to go to Google to ask them for permission to use the application. Yes, you ask for permission, they actually do comply, agreed to imply with our terms and conditions. Say yeah, and now the only permission you needed the moment becomes inherent with your phone. You don't need to go to Google say I want to use your app. In fact, no, no, no, it's already inherent with your phone. The meaning of that is that you will use the app at will. Thereafter exactly good, there's this dimension of the Holy Ghost that is going to come upon you. It's going to be inherent with your spirit. So you don't after you get baptized in holy spirit, you don't go to God and ask him for permission to use the investment because it's already inherent with your spirit. You cannot pray in tongues at will. That's no moment. It means that God has transferred the responsibility of the usage of that application to you. The extent to which you decide to use it is the degree to which you will discomfer His ability and its power. So when you find a believer in trouble, the first thing is this, he's part of the trouble, no matter the trouble, because this inherent ability has not been maximized in its life. That's what it means. Number two, do not mess means potential energy, but nothing. Anything you have that only has potential usage is not useful. Think about it. I was in the oil industry and we we were refining crude oil, and crude oil happens to be a complex mixture of hydrocarbons. When you introduce crude oil into the fractional distillation column that you call the refinery, and you begin to manipulate the temperature and the pressure. I've forgotten all my figures. The way my brain does this, I can tell you the temperature. The first product that comes out of the refinery when you introduce frute oil that is low on solvefur, first product that comes out, and the associated gases. Imagine the lighter products come out first, The heavier products come out subsequently, So the associated gases are the ones that come out first. Are you there? How many of you use gas to cook, So that gas that you used to cook is the ted layer of gashos products that come out of that way. Finally, after the guys that you used to cook. When when that one comes out, then the first liquid product will not come out. And the first liquid product that comes out is what we call aviation to buying kerol, the carolsine that is used to power jet engines. After eighty k then you have PMS premium motor spirit. That's what you call petrol or gasoline in America. Are now so see this scripture. This scripture we're reading here is a refinery. He said, ye shall receive power. How after that the Holy Gooes is wait, you're not fully come again. I said, this is what refinery. The word power that is dunamis that power is one of the products that come out of the refinery. There are many products that the refinery can produce. Because it's a complex mixture that you are introducing. The Holy Goest is a compendium of all the things that Heaveyne wants to give you. It's a complex mixture. But you need to introduce that complex mixture into the refinery. And it happens to be that the refinery in this case, when you receive the Holy Spirit, the baptism or the Holy spirit. The initial evidence is your ability to speak in tones. That's your refinery. When you begin to speak in tones, the holy goes within you. You start processing that complex mixture, and various products can come out of this refinery. But only one was mentioned here. What is it? Power? Various products? I remember those days we were praying for power. Okay, first Lord, we will not stop until. In fact, me and my friend made the covenant that will not get married until we see the power of God. I went to school. Before I came back, he had married and it didn't see power. Before I got back, he had clipped to a damsel. Meanwhile, we told ourselves to live before me before me I got married. I saw, I saw it. I saw small, small power. In fact, before I left the university, I touched that power. It's not that I didn't know how the team works. I'll not be preachy. People will start falling. I said, how did they? When they asked me, how did they fall? I say, don't know. So the only spirit used to do it without me. I said, don't do it without me again. Can we discuss bless discourse so that you will tell me what to contribute to this thing? Don't be just be doing things. So then I say, okay. So when I started telling me how the thing works, and I'm still learning till today. In that school, only Jesus is the professor, So all of us are. We are still students, still learning, still learning how God administance the blessings that accommodate his spirit, that accompany his spirit. So this is the refiner. If you can exercise your spirit, you'll be capable of producing some strange products, depending on how to the extent to which you are willing to exercise your spirit. So the first item in the gym, he's speaking in tongues. I like us to try ourselves out for a moment. We hear people like Apostle says, I thank my God that I speak in tongues more than he. All you will hear the Bible speaking about Jesus, that he went into a solitary place and there he prayed. I was now wondering why Jesus will stray away from where his disciples are sleeping for him to go and pray, and they pray close to them, so that we begin to lend the world things. Let you know why he was baptizing Holigos they were not baptized yet, so he was going far away to speaking tongue or their own time had not yet come. They won't understand it. It will be a confusion set time where you confuse them completely. So he was going far away from them so that he can exercise his spirit. So his routine was given to us in scripture that he wakes up a great vib before day and he goes into a solitary place to pray. That was the success, the secret behind his victory, he said to the day before the day began every day. The fact that you brought your teach yesterday doesn't mean your own brought today. There are some things that are routine things. Spiritual development as spiritual exercise is a routine matter. It's a routine matter. It's a routine matter. When I realized these thing is, and I discovered that it's even easier to teach the young ones to begin to exercise their spirit before they get to your age. The things that they would have accomplished, you be amissed because you gave them a head start. My son, Joshua can't hear God, My daughter can hear God? They come and said tell you things an accurate, accurate, accurate. My son had a dream and came to me and say that I saw you. They were giving you an award. H And I didn't tell him that they had written me at that time to give me an award. And then I didn't tell you. I just say, pray about it. And it came to pass out of nowhere the state of Atlanta, and I called me and my wife life and gave us honorary citizenship award. They gave us that award in the Senate in Georgia. Can you exercise your spirit? You will realize that the things that you're afraid of, let us do it this year. See, let's test this year. You say, oh, there's one impossible problem. Oh, nobody has ever come to you to tell you that you want to get married to you. Give me this year, Give me this year, give me this year. Let's press this year and let us see what will happen. Let's trust God this year, and you'll be amazed. Are you here? Common exercise a spirit in the moment you see they are products that should come out of your refinery. I went to meet a pastor in Cardiff in the United Kingdom, and they were telling me the things that wanted to invent. I said, yes, your spirit is working, A product is coming out of your refinery. And now that they came to be part of this prayer, I saw that they have already started creating those apps. And in fact, they were writing some programming languages. No, I don't know those languages, but I know the spirit realm, let me stay away. They wrote some So this computer that we are using, we are not maximizing it too, because it's the programmers that Jesus Christ things are coming out. It's the songs of Zion that are designed to save this world with different strands of the beauty of the grace of God that flows out of your vessel. If you can only only accept that, you will visit the gen. The dimensions of God that will break out of your system. Grace will break out of. Your system, The hand of God will becomes stronger, your spirit will hold more temciously to the things that pertain to your destiny. Can you rise on your feet? Want to exercise ourselves?
