Right from the time Minister Duncin was Ministry, and I began to sense a clok of the spirit of the prophetic, that prophetic dimension, despite not prophet science. I don't know why God is beginning tonight with Canada by prophetic declarations. But it takes prophecy for the art Head to float. It takes prophecy to call Lazarus fourth, it takes prophecy for the road to both, even though it's not connected. To the Earth. And in the name of Jesus, I decree and declare, as you worship, something supernaturally is happening as you worship. Impartations are happening as you worship. You are beholding and you are becoming. You are beholding and you are becoming. You are beholding and you are coming. You are beholding and you are becoming. In the name of Jesus. The Bible says, now the Lord is that spirit, and that where the spirit of the Lord is there is liberty. That it says, we all with faces on fail beholding us in the mirror of the glory of the Lord. We are changed. We are changed. Someone change. Go ahead and change. Press for the next one two minutes. Change in the atmosphere of worship, in the atmosphere. Of the prophetic. Antella ma capranakatosatusata. You are the great. I am, I am that I have. It's kingdom reigns forever, from everlasting to everlasting, majesty, King of kings. Let's said, he see who comes in the name of the Lord. Semlantapratka arantus theater, Allelujah. I sense in my spirit, and I'm going to declare this before I just allow the men of God go to sit down. I'm hearing in my spirit, I will restore, I will restore. There is a strong grace for restoration people who have lost time. This is not just about things yet. We're talking about time time in Christ and in the economy of heaven. There is hopeful three. Even though it be cut down. The Bible says, at the scent of water, at the scent of water. I decree undeclared. The Lord is speaking particularly to people who have lost time, either as the result of ignorance mistakes. You have made time since you have gone ahead of you. But in this atmosphere of worship, his Majesty has chosen to come as a redeemer. He is restoring time, restore in time. Someone received it is retoring time by the power of the Holy Ghost. Time is being restored for someone. Opportunities are being restored for someone in. The name of Jesus. An opportunity to know God afresh, an opportunity to catch fire afresh, an opportunity to rewrite. Your possibilities are fresh. Receive it by the spirit of grace. Restoration. Now, let me declare restoration of things. Every anth head floating or going under the sea, we command the ants head to float right now. It floats right now. Opportunity is lost. People who have left you and should not have left, We command them back to your life, back to your space. In the name of Jesus Christ. Let's be the name of the Lord. I'll just Addministerducing to just sing that song halli uyah, halleluyah yahweh will worship you just one time or twice, and then we'll be ready to see it. Please don't be distracted in this prophetic atmosphere. Afterwards, Personna will just blow. He's just flowing. I know when he's flowing like a river. This is what I sense in my spirit. There are times God moves as fire, but tonight is moving as a life giving spirit. I mean a river from the east side of the temple is flowing through every life, the Bible says, until the spirit be poured upon us from on high. And then the wilderness someone's wilderness spiritually, a church as a wilderness, a person as a will, as a business as a will done. I say, destiny as a wilderness, a territory as a wilderness. Tonight in this atmosphere. Of worship, and the prophetic is being countered for a fruitful vine, and the fruitful vine is being countered for a forest. Someone engaged in the spirit, engaged by faith, engaged by faith, engaged by faith. Sha come on a lanta. Someone received, someone received, someone received. The wilderness is being countered for a foodful file, and. The fruitful find is being countered by a forest. Shabara the restorized, restoring, restoring dignity, restoring, turning the fullet places into habitable places. In the spirit. La ba shabra, Papa away. You will serve you. All.

Oh well, let the wilderness in contact with put the fine and provide the counter for your forest. As Personnad blows, the world is restoration. Don't lose a word. The word is restoration. And I'm speaking to those who are connected across the globe. You see, the Bible says he that had an ear, he says, let him hear what. The spirit said. There are times that the spirit speaks to an individual, but there are times the spirit speaks to the churches. It says he that had an ear. This is a word of restoration. I don't know why God is beginning like this in Canada. I don't know what you've lost. Some of you have lost grounds, some. Of you have lost mantles that the heir of Samson can grow again under a Suttain condition. Allelujah. You see sounds like this announce seasons. This prophetic sound you're hearing is beyond music. It's announcing seasons. And as person not just blows, We're agreed by faith. Let's exhaust this prophetic grace and then we'll go to the ministry of the world. As he blows. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen. I like you to see with the eyes of the spirit, things lost, opportunities lost, gravitating back to you. Here's how the Bible puts it. Ezekiel was taken in the spirit and he was shown a valley that was full of bones, and the Bible says they were very dry, meaning they had been there for a long time. Then it's a son of man. Can this bones leave again? Can this business leave again? Can this marriage leave again? Can your children leave again? Are we together? Can the program of God in Canada leave again? Can profess leave again? Can that intercessory ministry leave again? Can that prophetic ministry leave again? Can that evangeally come ministry live again? And the prophet said, only. Down know us. And it's a propheside. The Bible says, as I prophest high there was saying sound and bones began to be joined to boats. Everything can come into order when they hear the sound. This is the sound you're about to hear, is beyond your ears. Your destiny is hearing the sound. Your job is hearing the sound. Your spiritual life is hearing the sound and if you can be designing enough for the next one minute or that. Is prophetic atmosphere. I tell you bonds will be joined to both bones will be joined to post opportunities will meet you. Are you ready to receive right now? That's not yes, the book the brick, Oh, we receive, we receive, We'll received. Someone tag. Ro back t ro baa baa m ba rock cut up ta h and that that bat back back boot, drop back rap baa baa baa boot for your marriage, for your finances, for your ministry, for your spiritual life, for your career. Canada, it comes to you as a restorer, a restorer, a restorer turning the wilderness to a fruitful vibe, and a fruitful vibe to a forest, turning the wilderness to a fruitful vibe and the fruitful vale to a forest. Allelujah, Jemmy. There are problems that will not be used over you again. The word dicaboard will no longer be used. When the globe becomes we know it's the same. Oh m hm, when his glory comes, you'll benowords the same. Let's just press for one minute with this song and We're ready for the word. When the glove becomes benowords the same. M h. A la sa la da Bada da katar Oh, Yes, awesome presence and his glory resting in displace. When the glory comes, there'll be no words to say. Where the Lord becomes, there will be no words to say. Father. Tonight we declare over Canada. We declare over Calgary, that you are enthroned as King of kings. And as Lord of lords. There are names, there are titles, there are offices. But tonight we have come to enthrown you as the King of kings. Take your rightful place in every heart, Take your right full place in every home, Take your rightful place across every strata of human activities. We have come to blow this chauffeur. And to herald again that the Church of God in Calgary, in Canada, is emerging into a triumphant church, out of the ashes of failure, out of the ashes of pain regret, out of the ashes of ignorance. By the spirit of grace. There is an emergence beginning from tonight, the rising of a people who are mighty, the rising of a people who are dex teros, the rising of a people who are full of light, the rising of a people who are full of wisdom, the rising of a people who. Are full of faith. And in the name of Jesus, they will match like an army that does not fear, like the army of Joel. They will match. Before them will be like the garden of Eden, and behind the desolate wilderness they wirect have walk in the kingdom of darkness and enthrone Christ in experience. We declare this, and we decree and declare, let it be so as an ordinance in the spirit that Christ has come to be enthroned experientially over Canada in Jesus' mighty and much less name. We pray. Can we give Jesus a resounding round of applus and please help me appreciate the ministry of Minister Does in mighty prophetic mistrail of God. And then Pastor Nathaniel Bassie, come on, is this how you celebrate grace in the house? Please give them a big God bless you, hallelujah. Welcome to Sound of Revival, Canada, twenty twenty five. Let's give Jesus a big hand of praise. Allow me, for the sake of our time tonight to stand on the existing protocol. I want to appreciate particularly every man and every woman of God who's made the time to be here. I appreciate you also very deeply in the name of Jesus. God's method, like I would always say, is his word. The way that he lives a man is to send his word. By the way, just a moment before I get to the world, how many of you here came from outside of Calgary? Show by wave of hands? Can you imagine that one more time? Let me see your beautiful hands. Allelujah. May the Lord bless you. Good things will find your way from outside your zone until they get to you. In the name of Jesus Christ. So for as series, I'll be teaching on the triumphant Church, and I like you to lend me your wrapped, undivided attention as we lay a few foundations tonight. The Word of God is very important because it contains within it the ability of God. The Bible says in Habakuk chapter. Four, and when you read from verse three, he says in the son like splendor is the hiding place. When you read verse four three and verse four, the amplified rendition will say in the Son like splendor that comes from His hand is the hiding place of his power. So the power of God is hidden in his light. When you find the light of God, their lives the power of God. We receive the word of God, because only the word of God sustains the ability to transform a man. Hallelujah. The Bible says in Acts, chapter twenty and verse thirty two. It says, I commend you to God and then to the world of His grace, which is able. So contain within the word of God is the ability to build you up and then to deliver onto you and inheritance among them that has antified, he says, And as from a child, thou hast known the Holy Scripture, which is able to make you wise even onto salvation are we together. And so it's important for us to tremble at the word of God and to receive the word of God when it comes. The move of God cannot happen outside of the ministry of the world of God. I have taught you, and some of you have heard me say that the power of God is governed by the word of God. That means the word of God. The power of God does not just act arbituaryly or carelessly. It works with respect to the word of God. In fact, the assignment of the power of God is to enforce the will of God as containing his world. Are we together prays the name of the Lord, so like us to pay rapt attention as we discourse on the triumphant Church. For a text, we look at Matthew chapter sixteen and verse eighteen. Matthew chapter sixteen and we was eighteen, so a little theological background. Jesus began to probe them as to who he was. He said, who do men say that I the son of man Am? And then you know, there was silence, and there were chorusing all kinds of things. Afterwards, some say you are Elijah, some say you are one of the prophets, and so on and so forth. And then he says, who do you now say that I the son of man Am? And none of them could speak except Peter. Peter now spoke up and said, I know who thou art. He says, thou at Christ, the son of the Living God. He now says in verse seventeen, Simon of son of Jonah, flesh and blood hath not revealed it onto you, but my father which is in heaven. And then he says, I say unto you that thou art Peter. And upon this revelation, I will build my church. I will build my church in such a way and a manner that the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. You believe that scriptures say amen forever ground. The Bible lets us know from Genesis one and verse twenty six that God gave man dominion. So the Bible is clear. So the fact that God created man in his image and after his likeness, and he gave man dominion. The Bible says, over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the things that creep, the cattle, and over everything that is upon the earth. Psalm eighth reads it beautifully from verse four to six. You know the Psam He said, when I consider the heavens the walks of your hands. He now says, what is. Man that thou hat mindful of him? Nor the son of man that thou visitest him? He says, you have made him a little lower than the Angel says the word ello him. And you have crowned him with glory and honor. Allelujah, that you have put all things you have given him dominion, and you have put all things under his feet. All was speaking to the Hebrew Church. And he made reference to this, and he says, but we do not yet see all things under his feet. In John chapter fifteen and verse sixteen. This was Jesus teaching now. And he began his discussion from verse one, saying that he was a vine, and that believe us as the church. Remember he was not just speaking to an individual. He said, I am the vine, and you, as the church, the ecclesia, you are the branch. And then he says, every branch in me that does not bear fruit, I will court, and so on and so forth. When we get to verse eight, he now. Says, here in is my Father glorified that ye bear much fruit. So shall you be my disciples. And then you now move to verse sixteen. John fifteen and verse sixteen, he says, ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you. And ordained you the word ordained their means to legitimize an operation. I have ordained you that you should go forth and bring fruit, and that your foot should remain. Away together praise the name of the Lord. And so it's important for us to realize that God has an intent and he has an ordination for the Church. Now as individuals, God has his expectation for us, and it's been clearly revealed from scripture. God desires for every individual that we step into what the Bible calls the hope of his calling. That means we attain experientially onto a point where we as sons. Indeed, the Bible says for the expectation of creation Romans eight nineteen awaited the manifestation. Of sons away together. So God's goal for us is that we step in experientially into sonship where we can now be committed the things of the kingdom, where we can legislate on behalf of Heaven in experience. But as a corporate body, we have a mandate, and the mandate is not just one statement, is a number. Of instructions and expectations. Among them number one, that through us all men might be saved away together and that they come onto the knowledge of the truth. The Bible says so. So world evangelization, like we have learned, and then discipleship and then territorial transformation is a corporate mandate of believers. But it's also called us to be fruitful. He's called us to manifest dominion over the cosmos, over systems and structures, and thrown in Christ, first in the hearts of men and then across every strata of human activities. It's important for you to get this background, prays the name of the law. So the church has a corporate mandate, and our mandate is to en thrown Christ in the heart of men and then across every strata of human activities and wilds. We're about that, listen, wildsware about that assignment. He expects us to live victorious lives. It's important for you to understand that God's desire of victory for the believer still remains enforced in as much as that is not ultimately everything. The victory is supposed to be a means to an end away together, the end being that through a life of victory and dominion, we put systems and structures under pressure until Christ is enthroned above them. But that while we are about that, he expects us to live fruitful lives. He expects us to live victorious lives. If that will be your testimony from tonight, shout amen. Unfortunately, the current state of the church, and this is the Church global. Whether Canada, North America, Africa. Unfortunately, the current state of the church is not a true representation of God's design. It is not a true representation of God's expectation. There's a lot I can tell you about the current state of the church, but we should care less about darkness. Our assignment is to. Introduce light tonight away together. But you can have this at the back of your mind. And this for sure that the. Church as it stands, the corporate body of believers, we are not yet. A perfect portrait of God's expectation. When you look at the Church, the body of Christ, we are found wanting on many grounds. And this goes to show that there's still much to be done. And I'm trusting that in the course of this conference, God will help the church to evolve and to do so quickly until we become a perfect portrait of His expectation. If you believe that, shout amen. There are a number of reasons as to the current state of the church. I think it was last year or earlier this year we're in not actually leads leads in the UK, and I was teaching as to why many believers don't seem to be interested in the church. I'm sure that Canada would have those kinds of experiences where you have young people not interested in church again and interested in anything God. There is an explanation, are we together? Yes? So, generally speaking, there are three major reasons. Why the church is still in its current state, and this message seeks to bring awakening, to help the church to rise, to get to that position where in experience it be called the triumphant Church Psalm. Forty nine and verse twenty. Who is understanding me, so as say, amen, so our lady, foundation that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ has been ordained by God to be a church that is indomitable, victorious about the purposes of God, establishing Christ in the hearts of men and across every strata of human activities, and of course becoming a true portrait of victory, dominion, power, and wisdom, the glory of God. In short, but as it stands, the Church of God is not yet a perfect representation of what Jesus died for. And I'm trying to identify three reasons. Number one, very quickly, let's look at Psalms forty nine and verse twenty. Yes, what it says man that is in honor and know it not is like a beast in the field that perished. That means a man who's been ordaigned to work in honor, dominion, power, wisdom, grace, authority. But if that man is not aware that these are the provisions made for him or her, he says that man will be likened to a beast in the. Field that perished. Number One. The first reason for the current state of the church in Canada, in North America, and generally speaking the church global Are you ready praise the name of Lord, is that there is little or no revelation, little or no revelation of who we are in light of who Christ is. You would think that because of the many sermons, the many books that are being written, particularly about the believer's identity, it is shocking that very few believers truly understand who they are in Christ, who they are as her as the Bible's description is concerned. So the first reason why the church is still in her current state is because there is not sufficient revelation as to who we are in light of who Christ is. I'm not saying who you are as social media has told you. I'm not saying who you are as culture has told you, are we together? The average believer cannot articulate intelligently and spiritually who he or she is in Christ. And for those who have been educated, we can mechanically say a lot of great things. I am light, I am this, but it's not distilled into our spirits as a revelation. The reason is because any other opinion that sells you an idea about yourself, you fall for it immediately. It then means that your conviction as to who you truly are is not yet settled. Are we learning now? It's important for believers in our desire to become a triumphant church, we must have a revelation of who we are in light of who Christ is. This is profound. This is profound. We live in a world where there are all kinds of visitors and all kinds of opinions as to who you. Are as to who I am. The social media has its narrative about you. Are we together? The reality of the times your boss can give this narrative is verdict is conclusion as to who you are. And sometimes, because we are not grounded in the world, we fall for this plethora of narratives away together and we begin to change according to people's expectation, and before you know it, we yeer off and then you do not even know who you are. So we become this today and that tomorrow based on popular opinion. But the Bible says to be steadfast, it says to be unmovable. There is a level of stability God expects from the believer, and that comes by getting you grounded. Among the revelations that gets you grounded is a revelation of who you are in Christ, who is learning now. This is the first reason why the church is the way it is. There's a popular story. I don't know if you've heard it in Canada. I presume you have. I think it's a fiction just to express a point. So that an eagle, an eagle, you know, hatch the egg, and the egg, for whatever reason, found itself among chickens, and so the eaglet was grew up together with the chickens. And for a long time the eaglet walked with the chickens, you know, and so on and so forth. But the eglet just knew that something was different, the configuration, the confidence, et cetera was different. And then one time, as the eagle grew it looked to the sky and it saw a full grown eagle just swaring around. And it looked at itself, and it saw that there was a lot more similarity between itself and the eagle flying as against itself and the chickens. And one day, as the story says, that, it just attempted to fly, and it discovered on like chickens that fly for a while and land. It flew and it could continue, and now it could soar. It now discovered that even though it had been among chickens, it was not destined to be there. Hallelujah. It's someone learning now, the Bible says, man that is in honor, and know it not will be like a beast in the field that perishet. So the first reason as to the current state of the Church is that there is a major identity crisis, a major identity crisis. If you're writing place, write that down. This is the first challenge with the Church. We truly do not know who we are. And so, with all due respect, the government of nations institutions can look at the Church, and sometimes they can be vocal about it and look at us and think of us and conclude on us as a New Zance to civilization. There are many territories where the Church is seen as a news and to advancement, meaning if you want to go forward. Do away with the church. And it seems like when you do away with the church, technology will go forward and all of that will go forward. And we are the ones who have endorsed that kind of narrative. But God is changing it. Even over Canadi. Do I have a believer and a receiver. God is changing that narrative in the name of Jesus Christ. It's important for us to know who we are in light of who Christ is, man that is in honor and know it not is like a beast in the field that ferished. Let me give you the reasons and then we'll go into looking at who we really are. So the reason number one, the reason why the church is in its current state, it is because we have little or no revelation of who we truly are in Christ. And where we have access to that knowledge, it's not become deepened in our hearts to be a conviction. It's not becoming a stronghold in our hearts identity. Christ's number two. The second reason as to the current state of the Church in Canada and the church globally are ready. We have little revelation of our mandate, our purpose, and our commission. We have little or in many cases no revelation of our corporate mandate, our purpose, posts and our commission. This is a very big one. So, in addition to identity crisis, the average believer, and I say this respectfully, the average believer. You random' pick believers, good church goers. They cannot intelligently articulate why the church is here, why the individual the believer is here. Most people would tell you things like I'm here to worship God, very vague general statement. Others will say I'm here to praise God. Orthers will say I'm here to raise a family. So the extent of cluelessness as to why we are here is responsible. For the current state of the church. Are we together? Advancement at any level is vision dependent to the degree to which there is clarity and defination as to why we are here. Are we together? It gives us the staying power to run on course. Every pilot in flying the airplane, there's no prilot who just begins to fly around with no knowledge of destination, even if it's twelve hour flight from the start, the pilot is aware, and all through navigating the weather, the guide is aware that whatever happens, this is my goal. The average believer, I tell you, cannot articulate with spiritual intelligence why we are here. So there is gross bankruptcy as to our mandate, as to our purpose and our commission. That's the reason why we're preoccupied with ambition. We're preoccupied with so many things. And after investing many years of our lives, we discover that from a kingdom perspective, we have not done much in bringing glory to the name of the Lord who is learning tonight very important. I submit to you, and that with every sense of respect that even passed us men and women of God, with all you respect. You sample a number of past us and ask them why does the church exist? And you find out when you look at how clueless they are. Then you ask them, okay, so why do you run the services that you run? And say, well, God called me, all right, he called you to do what They can say things like you called me. To raise the people. And that's true. But that's just a subset of the bigger picture. So what is the bigger picture? Is someone learning the reason why the gates of Hell seem to be prevailing over the Church is because we are not a people corporately driven by vision, corporately driven by a common mandate. Do you know one of the reasons. Why hell progresses seems to progress so much? And it's the same reason why terrorist groups progress because there is such there is such clarity of definition a terrorist group, for instance, before they begin to launch their attacks, they indoctrinate themselves as to why they exist. So it doesn't matter if the terrorist appears as a doctor, appears as an engineer, appears as a whatever, a political person. They have it at the back of their mind that this is why we exist. Now I ask you, the believers, why do you exist as the Church. You will be surprised that many of us do not have the answers. So thank God for Sound of Revival, because you will find the answer here and you will leave this place with clarity and precision. In the name of Jesus, I tell you why this is important. You do not need annointing, you do not need prosperity, you do not need influence, you do not need advancement. If you do not understand this, this is what gives credence to the pursuit of those other things. So attempting to seek money, influence, power, fame without first understanding the mandate, the purpose are we together and the assignment of the church will end up destroying us. Is the reason why many good things seem to destroy believers, because there are supposed to be tools that serve this bigger purpose. So if a believer begins to pursue save prosperity, as important as that is. Now what happens when he now becomes wealthy, because there is no goal bigger than himself, it begins. To destroy him. Is someone learning now? So someone contends for influence, then he becomes influential. And because he is not governed by the orientation of the kingdom, that God has a desire, he has a burden, he has an assignment. And because that believer, whoever he or she is, does not know the mandate, the assignment, the purpose of the Church, that individual will wish that opportunity. I'll give you an example. So there's a woman in the Bible called her Dasa, you call her esther were still Bible students. The Bible says that woman, I hope you know that Modecai. Is not recorded that Modecai had the time to tell her anything about her prophetic destiny. Virgins were called to replace Vashti, and she happened to be one one of those lovely ladies. And for the sake of the favor that was upon her Esther Chapter two and verse seventeen, the Bible tells us that the king loved Esther more than the virgin. She found favor in more than all the women. And then he put a royal crown upon her head and caused. Her to replace Esther. Now watch that scene one. It was over. But for a long time Esther did not know that beyond beauty and beyond being queen, she was put there by God for a prophetic assignment. And she was about to miss that opportunity. Her man was there plotting the annihilation of the Jews, and he was doing it exceptionally well. And except that God in tanveined it would have happened. The date had been fixed, the strategy had been invented. It was by divination they got the date to destroy the Jews? Are we learning now? And then the Bible now says mother Kai, knowing that this was going to happen. He began to push Esther do something about this situation, and for a while Esther seemed very like most believers. She did not. Understand that her purpose for getting there as queen was beyond beauty and beyond being a wife. The same way your purpose of getting there as a director, getting there as a whatever it is, is. Beyond the job. There is a bigger, greater, no black goal than a job than a businessman. Are we together? So you don't allow the joggraphy of your weakness to define you. You are a weakness not just because of what you do. It's a mandate. You are using what you do as a tool to fulfill a bigger goal. Who is learning now and by the time made a profound statement. He said, Esther, if you do not take advantage of disposition paraphrasing to redeem God's people, God will raise salvation from somewhere else away together now, perhaps it was for such a time as this God brought you to the palace. And Esther suddenly realized that my assignment here is. Bigger than being a beautiful woman sitting by a king who is king over one hundred and twenty seven provinces, I have a mandate and if it depends on me, Esther was the only person in a position to be able to influence the king, and Esther said, but their struggle now, because, according to the customs of those days, even though she were his wife, if he did not invite her to the Inner Chamber, it could cause her death, and so it was a suicide mission. But knowing that the program of God. Was bigger than her personal convenience, she said, let's declare first. I will also first. It's someone learning now. And then she said, if I perish, I perish. My question, is this shit perish? Peter attempting to work on water to obey Jesus? Did he perish? And it was true, Esther, Her man was georged. God's people were redeemed, and there ends a story. Could it be that God raised you brought you to Canada? Now, please don't feel insulted, But did you know that there are many of you who are not really leaving your prophetic mandate for coming to Canada. You didn't just come because you got your visas damned. No, there was a vacancy in the spirit and God sent you like an arrow from a man's queiver. And for some of you, you've been here two years, three years, four years. You've gotten a job, congratulations, You've gotten a house, congratulations. But I want to explain to you, prophetically, the reason why you are still empty. Because there is a. Mandate bigger than a job, a mandate bigger than a car, a mandate bigger than a house away together, a mandate bigger than pr And I tell you, if you don't press to fulfill that mandate that is bigger than you, that mandate that enthrones Christ, that emptiness will remain. Is someone learning the church is largely not vision dependent. We do not yet have a very concise revelation of our mandate, our purpose, and our commission. Number three, the third reason why the program. Alongside the dynamics of activating those resources, the third reason why the church seems powerless, the third reason why the church seems to be very slow in fulfilling that kingdom mandate. There is little or no knowledge of the spiritual resources that we have alongside the dynamics of activating those resources. Efficients chapter one, let's read verse three, and then we jump to verse nineteen. I like reading the Book of Ephicians because Paul took his time to make a strong I mean is believed theologically to be one of the most the most wholesome presentation of falls Apostolic ministry, because there he takes the time to help the believers understand who they are in Christ, their work of faith, and how to stand against the wilds of the enemy. So verse one and chapter one and thes three, here's what Paul says. Let's read together. If you see it projected, ready, one to one more time, like you are learning, say all spiritual blessings. So the Bible says you have blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ. So they are blessings, but they are spiritual and they're reside in the heavenly places in Christ. They are there. It's a fact. But you need to understand what it is and the dynamics of activating it in your life. Is someone learning. You can be called of God, you can be a sincere Christian, a well meaning Christian. But if you do not have knowledge, listen, you do not have knowledge of the first spiritual resources, the arsenals that make for victory, that have been given to you by God in Christ or through Christ, then you will never be able to live a life of dominion and power, working in victory whilst serving the purposes of God. The Bible caused them exceeding great and precious promises. It says that by them we might be partakers of His divine nature. Havn't escaped the corruption that is in the world through lost I give you an example of those resources, the power of the world. I give you an example of those resources, the name that is given every believer. Are we together? I give you an example of those resources. The blood of Jesus that speaks better things than the blood of Abel. I give you an example of those resources. The Holy Spirit himself, the paraclet I taught that in New York, the helper, the advocates, the strengthener. The Bible says, we know not how to pray, for, for instance, as we ought to. There is no way of outsourcing intelligence beyond the realm of science to the natural man. But the Bible says, the Holy Spirit comes for the belief as the advantage. I have many things to tell you, but ye cannot bear them. Now. How be it? When he the Spirit of truth is come, he shall guide you. Is someone learning. Now, there are many resources that God gave the Church that should make for our victory. An example the power in unity Some one thirty three. How good and how pleasant it is when brethren dwell together in unity. The Bible says, it's like the oil that comes from the head of aaron to his bird to his cat away together, like the due of Harmon. He says, there in that state of unity the Lord there, the Lord had commanded the blessing even life, everlasting. Did you ever read in your Bible that if two shall agree as touching anything, that it shall be done for them, exceeding great and precious promises. Now it is your assignment under the system of strong mentorship. This is why I say this, and I don't want to get emotional about this. I have learned by experience and Canada please hear me. Every believer is as fortunate as the kind of pastor who teaches you the world and exposes you to the Kingdom. Your life is as blessed as unfortunate as the teaching priests who guides you. It matters who reveals Christ to you, and it matters what you are told. Please listen, are we together now? It matters who reveals Jesus to you. It matters who shapes your spiritual understanding. Is the reason why men of God will be judged. We will be George for having access to the minds of people. The orientation you give the individual is what frames their convictions, and if you build them on error, they will be on a landslide to destruction. Not because of God in their own heart. They were simple, ill trained. He says, I will give you past us Jeremiah three point fifteen, who are according to my heart? Are we together? And that they will teach you. They will feed you with knowledge and with understanding that David shepherded them with the integrity of his heart, but also with the skillfulness of his hands. So two believers, let me digress to make a point. Two believers can be saved. Listen, Canada burn again filled with the Holy Spirit. In fact, and for the one he can be fortunate to sit under a pastor with intelligence, with knowledge, and with a heart to teach and train, to mold and to build, whereas the other person, even if well intentioned, may not have the spiritual wherewithal to be thorough in the job of building that individual. Give them two. Years, perhaps three years, maybe five years, and you will see a striking different and same salvation, same holy Spirit, but different possibilities. And that is directly traceable to the kind of pastor. Is the reason why I salute every man of God who's taking the time to be here. I truly, truly salute them. I think we should give them a big round of applause, not just those in front, those scattered across, and. The many who are fallen online. Do you know the. Responsibility of pastoring people and raising people, in my opinion, is one of the nobless responsibility. That can be given to any man. You literally have the power to decide the spiritual trajectory of the people who are under you. You can give them one poisonous information that destroys them for the next ten years, or you can methodically line upon line, preserved upon preserved, build those believers. A weak believer under a mighty, powerful, away together loving shepherd can become a mighty man. And yet a mighty man who comes can be so weakened by the ignorance of that pastor until he looks like him. Many of us here right now, and I say this sincerely, Perhaps the. Reason why we are where we are. It may not necessarily be because we do not love God. Is that we've been around an atmosphere of insufficient spiritual knowledge, or that our knowledge. Is not structured enough to produce a wholesome. Powerful, balance and efficient witness. This is one of the reasons why God has sent us here and in the name of Jesus and praying for someone, both the shepherds and then those who sit under the shepherds, there will be a shift in the spiritual climate of Canada. You believe that shout Amen, shout Amen, like you are a weakness, Amen, like you are receiving Allelujah. So when the young people have a disinterest for the things of God, I can tell you there is a presentation of the Gospel that may have been found wanting. Because the Bible is called good news, and as far as I am aware, I don't know. Anybody who runs away from what is good good news. There is a way we can serve the grace of God that drives a generation completely away from God the content, and then when it is bankrupt of power and does not have the ability to transform, we turn it away the same way we threw away typewriters. Is someone learning now. Or there are resources that have been given to the believer. A man can be anointed, an ordinary man can be anointed, and ladies and gentlemen, that annointing can become the difference in your life. A chapter ten and verse thirty eight, I'm sharing with you the third reason why the church seems helpless and powerless. We've not tapped into the vast resources. First, we are not even aware. And for those who are aware, they are not aware of the dynamics of making these resources available on Jesus. Isn't it interesting, ladies and gentlemen, that even though he came as the word in candidate, he needed to tap into this resources first and foremost. The Bible says in. Look two fifty two that Jesus increased in wisdom ah ah, the fountain of life, the all wise God. But when he became a man, aware that without. These resources he would not be able to fulfill his divine plan, he increased in wisdom, he increased in stature, away together in favor with God and with men. And then later on, by age thirty, the Bible tells us the Holy Ghost came upon him. Can you imagine that? And then you would think that way enough, he still needed men. He took the time to pray, learned prayer, went to the temple to learn the world at age twelve. Remember, do you not know that I should be about my father's business? So not even Jesus was exempted from painstakenly putting together these resources that make for a victorious life. It was on the strength of these resources that he finished his assignment. Ladies and gentlemen, if the Church does not come into a thorough comprehension of the exceeding great and precious promises that have been given to us by God, we will keep confessing victory, but never work in victory. I'll give you a few more. Are you ready to get more? So? The Bible, in describing the believer as a warrior, says that there are there is an armor that the believer can wear. He calls it the full armor our Bible students, now yes, and he begins to list them. He talks about the shield of faith. He talks about the breastplate of righteousness, the helmet of salvation that our shoes gathered with the preparation of the Gospel of Peace. Are we together? And then the sword of the Spirit the shield of faith, where will be able to quench all the fiery ducks. Of the enemy. They say, well, I know that God will help me help those under the announty. Are we together now? Listen, ladies and gentlemen. Do you understand the name of Jesus and the power containing that name? Can you use it to rewrite the destinies of men? Do you understand the power of the world and its ability to build you until you become a wholesome, dexterous believer. Do you understand the blood of Jesus and its efficacy, especially. In spiritual warfare? A man who wants to break free from yolks and curses and does not understand the power of God's messy and the power of the blood, will be joking around. And you see Sat and praise upon our ignorance. Let me have your attention, Sat and praise over our ignorance. So when Satan comes, he does not attack at random. He sees the gap in your spiritual understanding, the fact that you are unaware of these spiritual resources, and you will take advantage. Oh, let's Satin. Should take advantage of us, apostle said, because we are not ignorant of his devices. Someone learning light. There are resources that can turn an ordinary believer to an invincible witness that when you stand before situations and circumstances, you don't cry like others cry because you realize you see, David knew. He did not just know the covenant he had, He knew the resources he had. God Lion did not just fall because the little teenager was bold enough. No, he had something away together. And when Saul wanted to give him another provision, he politely told Saul, I love you, I respect you, but I have not been trained with this. And the Bible says Saul allowed him. And when he stood before Goliad, Goliad said, am I a dog? Israel? Is this the best you can bring to come and confront me? Am I a dog? And David looked at him and said, you come to me with your bows and your spears, but I come to you six fingers and six toes. And here's a young teenager standing with a sling. But it was not a sling. It was a sling that words you are justified, and by your words you are condemned. When Goliad spoke, he spoke back. He said, listen, Goliad I will bring you down with this sling, and I will use your own sword to take off your head. And with one sling, ladies and gentlemen, he brought down the head of Goliad. Tell me, intelligent people, that is sling brings down a giant. No, you're wiser than that. The same power that brought Goliad is the same power that caused Peter to work on work. That's the same power that is at work in every believer who is learning tonight. Praise the name of the Lord Canada. Praise the name of the Lord Man that is in honor. And know it not is like the beast in the field that perished. So the Bible says, we have been given great, exceeding, great and precious promises. Now very quickly, who are we? From the Bible's description, let me attempt to remedy the first issue, the issue of identity crisis. It's important for us to understand who we are, not just in terms of biology or physiology. Who we are in Christ Number one. The Bible calls us sons of God, Sons of God. This I believe. John Chapter one, twelve and thirteen. The Bible calls believers he calls the Ecclassia the church. He calls us sons of God. Here's how he puts it. But as many as received him, including those who be receiving him tonight, the Bible says, he gave them. Power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed on his name. Verse thirteen. It says, which were born not of blood or of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but that they were born of God. Whether you are male or females, shouted with revelation, Sam a son of God. The word son there has nothing to. Do with jeny. True knowledge has been exalted to be a reflection of the one who gave bad to him. It's the reason why when Jesus called himself son of God, they. Said he made himself equal with God. So son of God does not just mean the begotten of God. It also means one who, through revelation has risen to a point where you can function in the class of God Sons of God. Romance, Chapter eighth, eighteen and nineteen. Here's what the Bible says eighteen and nineteen. For I reckon poorly speaking, that the sufferings of this present time that they are not worthy to be compared with the glory that shall be revealed in US. Verse eighteen nineteen. Now for the ernest expectation, can we have any modern version and IV NLT I like you to see what it says, any modern version. At all, else will just continue for the expectation. N expectation KJV says of the creature waited for the manifestation of the sons of God. One of the versions to say creation is waiting to know who the sons of God truly are. Truly are waiting to know who the sons of God truly are. Ladies and gentlemen, I announce to you that, in the name of Jesus, one of these days, Canada will be aware that there are witnesses here, because there will be a suddenly emergence. If you belong to that army, shall amen, shout a man with power and conviction, Sons of God. You are not an ordinary homo sampian. It doesn't matter whether you came originally from Ghana, Nigeria, South Africa, wherever it is Europe, somewhere North America. I'm not asking of your natural descent. The Bible says we have been called out of every tribe and every tongue and every nation. There is now a new identity in Christ. And among the many descriptions, he calls us sons of God who believes that in the name of Jesus, meaning those who function in the God class begotten of the Father. What does the Bible call the believer? What does the Bible called the church? The Bible calls us the righteousness of God in Christ. Do you believe that? Second Corinthians, Chapter five and verse twenty one. There are two dimensions of righteousness, as the Bible teaches, one the gift of righteousness that comes as a nature, and then the the outwalkings the fruits of righteousness, where you take advantage of the enabling grace given to you and you produce fruits away together that reflects that nature. The Bible calls us the righteousness of God. You first have to believe in. The nature, else the capacity to produce the fruit will not be there. There's a difference between uprightness and righteousness. Righteousness is a nature. No one is able to earn that nature by himself. Who is following now? The Bible says, give it to us. Romance made him to be seen for us who knew no sane that
