A person. Listen, a person that I can tell you will be around for a very long time. It's not a fly in the pan. What you're saying is not just a manifestation of a gift. What you're saying is not where you could say that it's a great It's not just that you're seen manifestation of wisdom. Uh. And when a person carries their gifts with wisdom, then you know that they will be here for a very long time. All right. So back then, there's a saying we're used to, you know, let's call it back then ministries that fly by night. But this is this is going to be. This is a ministry that is deeply rooted. A man who has deep respect for people. Uh. The way and manner in which it treats people with humility, even when I was in the green room behind it, just apologizing to him about the fact that because there was a spillover that there will be a delay. The way he composed himself, you know, shows that he's a man that is working in grace beyond his natural age. And that's welcome to the restaurant. A person. Oliria, praise the name of the Lord. That's my joy. To the year. Thank you, Thank you, Pastor, thank you so very much for this opportunity. Whilst standing just before we sit, I really want to celebrate with Pastor ten years of impact and allelujah. He made a statement just before I came up. Longevity is a product of wisdom. Anything that lasts is because it is standing upon wisdom. Allelujah. So, Sir, we salute you. Thank you for the vision, thank you for your love and for your labor. In the name of Jesus Christ, and for this session, can we lift our hands to heaven and ask the Lord to speak to us. Go ahead and pray. Let it be from the depth of your heart. Speak to me, Speak to me, Speak to me who's lying him? Lion and the Lamb seated on the throne. Mountain Spouda, every ocean rope to the King of Kings, we will pray our Donah from the rising after sun to the end of every day. Prays our Dona, all the nations of deer. Yes, we will pray our Doomah. From the rising after sir, to the end of every day. All the nations out dear to speak to our hearts this afternoon and cause your word to lift us, to change us, to transform us. Let us go from one dimension of glory even to the other. In Jesus' name, we have prayed God bless you. Please be seated. I'm teaching this afternoon. On the Voice of God. I want you to please pay attention because I believe that, in addition to all that you have learned phenomenal speakers, that this is one teaching that for many of us will be an answer to age long prayers. For many of us, this will bring perspective and confidence to your walk with God. The Voice of God, Psalm twenty nine. Let's start from verse three, p. Twenty nine. From verse three, it says, the Voice of God is upon the waters, the God of glory thundereth. We're reading to nine. The Lord is upon many waters. Verse four. The voice of the Lord is powerful. The voice of the Lord is full of majesty. The voice of the Lord break head the cedars. Yeah, the Lord breakad the cedars of Lebanon. He maketh them also to skip like a calf Lebanon and Syrion like a young unicorn. The voice of the Lord divided the flames of fire. The voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness. The Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh. The last verse, the voice of the Lord naked the hinds to calve and discovered the forest. And in his temple dot everyone speak. Of his glory. One more scripture. Isekiel chapter forty three, from verse one and two, Isekel forty three. Afterwards, he brought me to the gate, even the gates that looked towards the east verse two. And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. And his voice was like the noise of many waters, and the earth shined with his glory. The Bible is very. Clear as to the fact that the Kingdom life was so designed that the advancement and the progress of the believer largely principally depends on his ability to be led of God of the spirit. The faith life was designed by God such that there is no possibility for meaningful progress outside of the voice of God Allelujah. The believer was designed to continually depend on the voice of God for leadership and for direction. So even Jesus, when he came in the flesh, he was very very vocal as to his need for the leadership of the Spirit. The Bible would tell. Us that after his baptism, the Spirit drove him into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. Then the Bible says he returned in the power of the Spirit. Hallelujah. Probably one of the greatest psalms that we know, Psalm twenty three is a very profound psalm of David because it captures the leadership of the Holy Spirit and the implication or the leadership of God. Generally speaking, he says, let's look at it. The Lord is my shepherd. He says, I shall not want He makes me. Notice now this same Lord, being my shepherd, he makes me. He leads me. Verse three, he restores, he leads me. Verse four, he guides me. You see, so there is leadership, there is guidance, there is making all by this great Shepherd. It therefore means. That if you do not understand the voice of God and the nature of his leadership, you may be stunted in a position spiritually, and it to affect every other aspect of your life. Allelujah. There are many believers today who have not been able to work in the fullness of their prophetic destinies. Not because of rebellion, but the inability to hear and to understand the speakings of God. Understanding the communications of God, therefore, is a very very important pursuit for any serious believer. Allelujah. In fact, the Bible tells us in Romance, chapter eight and verse fourteen that one of the seals of our sonship is that we have the ability to be led. For as many it says that are led by the spirit of God, they are the sons of God. We still together, there seems to be a great confusion as to the concept of the voice of God. The average believer understands the implication of being led by God, but it seems that largely in the body of Christ, the serious confusion our lives and our results, or the lack of it, clearly show that there is something about this subject that has not been properly understood. Allelujah. And so I'm hoping that within the times that we'll have to share that God will grant us clarity and understanding us to the. Concept of His voice. If you believe that, please shout aloud, Amen, What exactly. Is the voice of God? The Bible talks about the voice of God, but what does it mean now? Please look up. The concept of voice is not limited to this speakings of God alone. This is the first thing I want you to understand. The Bible generically uses the expression voice, but then it is not limited to the vocal communications or the speakings of God. Are we together? When we talk about the voice of God, it represents you may write this down. If you're writing, it represents all the spiritual channels and the pathways that God uses to communicate his will and his intent. Let me take it again that the concept of the voice of God is not limited to the speakings of God alone, but that it represents. All the spiritual channels. The voice of God represents all the spiritual channels and pathway uses to communicate his will and intent. If you're writing, underline the word spiritual china, underline the word. Will and intent. That is very important, because the whole idea behind the voice of God or the communications of God is to make his will and his intent known. Please look up, Please look up. I need you to understand that the power of God, which is responsible for all the possibilities we enjoy in this kingdom, we together, the power of God is the principal sponsor for every result that we enjoy in this kingdom. But the power of. God has jurisdictions for operation. It does not operate arbituarily. The power of God was mandated by God to only function within the jurisdiction of his will. And his intent. That means outside of the will and the power of God, I mean the will and the intent of God. The power of God does not have any assignments. Meant of the power of God is to make the will and the intent of the Father come to pass. That means you only call for the attention of the power of God to the degree to which you are consistent with the will of God. It's important you understand this. The administration of the power of God only functions and finds expression within the jurisdiction of his will. It says, when you pray, you pray that your kingdom come. How by your will being done in earth as it is in heaven, I will still together. That means if you cannot. Discern, perceive, or receive the will and the intent of God, you may never be able to experience the possibilities of God. This is why the voice of God is so important, because his power follows his voice. You are the one that we pray. You are the one weir all. You give the healing and grace that are. Always hung for all, And so for are we following So far so we have established the fact that the concept of the voice of God is not limited to his speakings, his vocal communications alone, but that it's a holistic capture of all the channels and the pathways that God uses to communicate his will and his intent. Please self, time me, will self, time me intent one more time, say will say intent. The entire scope of the dealings of God with man centers around these two words, his will and his intent. The purpose of spiritual communication from God to man is to make accessible to man the will and the intent of God. Allelujah. So for this session would look at how God speaks, how exactly does God speak, because there are many believers who are at a loss as to how God speaks or how God communicates. The Bible reveals several channels that have been used by God to communicate his will and his intent that we generically call. The voice of God. In fact, Hebrews chapter one and verse one, it says God who in sundry times and diverse manners speak. Take notes of that diverse manners speak. God, who in sundry times and diverse manners speak in time past to the fathers by the prophets, have in these last days. Spoken to us. So you see different channels, sundry times, diverse manners he speak. Now He has spoken to us through his son. So there are many channels for spiritual communication. I'm not discussing them, but let me just list a few of them for your knowledge. Number One, the Bible teaches that the primary channel for God's communication as far as his intent is concerned, is the Holy Scripture. Please write so. The Scripture is the principal channel. It is amazing that the scripture that we have represents the voice of God. Are we together? And that from a child thou hast known. The Holy Scripture which is able to make you wise onto salvation, it says the Holy Scripture. Number two, Dreams. Visions and supernatural encounters. The Bible is. Very clear as to the fact that God uses dreams, visions, and supernatural encounters to communicate his intent. We see this scattered from Genesis to Revelation. Whether it is for Abraham, whether it is for Joseph the Father, the earthly Father of Jesus, hallelujah. Whether it is for Pharaoh revealing that seven years would come with plenty and seven years would come with famine, all of these prophetic encounters, dreams, visions, supernatural and Coco number three. The prophetic now proper. The prophetic, I think that should be Hosea, Chapter twelve and verse ten. I hope I'm right on that. It says I have spoken to you by the prophets. So God speaks by the prophets. The prophetic is a channel for his communication. Is someone learning now I have multiplied visions, he says, let's. Finish the scripture. I have used similitudes even by the ministry of the prophets. Number four. Another channel for spiritual communication is called. The knowing or the weakness of the spirit. Fathers of faith who have joined the cloud of witnesses, like Papa Hagen, we're talking a lot about the knowing of the spirit. The Bible says, the spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are the sons or the children of God. There is a knowing the spirit can bear witness with your spirit. Hallelujah. There are many other channels, but at least this one is just to be able to guide our understanding to see that when we are talking about the voice of God, I repeat again that the voice of God is not limited to the vocabulary communications of God. Like we know, our concept of voice means sound that comes from the lips or the mouth of a man. But I'm telling you now that in dealing with spiritual communications, the most important thing is the transference of. His will and his intent to the believer. That means, at the end of whatever you call hearing God, if the will and the intent of God does. Not get to you, it's not God that you heard. It doesn't matter how spiritual, it doesn't matter how flamboyant. We can vet your hearing God, not by the accuracy of what you think, not by the charismatism that happened. Remember, there can be sound and rad but then the. Voice may not be there. The proof of. Accurate hearing is that we see that your life evolves into the will and the intent of. God with exactitude and precision. Are we together? So how does God speak? What is the language of God? Does He have a language? Allelujah? While while I was in the Green room. I was enjoying the praise and the worship, except that for largely for it, I really didn't understand what you know from a cultural standpoint. Now, I was enjoying it, of course, but I didn't know the meaning of the words, because for instance, I'm not Euro but by earthly you know my earthly connection. Now, so there are languages. If I speak something in Eurroba, now I expect most of all Yurroba people to be able to respond. Is that true? So what is the language of God? If we are talking about the communications of God? Does he speak Greek? Does he speak Hebrew? Does he speak English? What is the language of God? You will test what you are hearing now against many things you have been calling God said. So you said you had God? What exactly did you hear? You should have the confidence to answer this question. What did you hear? For someone who will say God told me, I think it's time to move left. So does God speak English? Does God speak French? It is amazing that every nation he has God. So what exactly does he tell them? Please pay attention now, are we together the language of God? It's not Greek, it's not Hebrew, it's not English, it's not Euruba. In fact, the Bible tells us Paul was speaking in First Corinthians that in verse one that there are the language or tongues of men and tongues of angels. So we know that there are languages even in the realm of the spirit. But I guarantee you by the integrity of scripture that none of these is the language of God. It does not mean that he cannot communicate through these channels, But that is not the language of God. The language of God is not vocabulary. The language of God is light. Please write it down. The language of God is light. First John, chapter one and verse five already tells us that God himself is light. This is the message he says, which we have heard of him, and declare unto you that God is light. Not God has light. God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all. If it is true that he is light, then everything that emanates from him must be light. Are we together? Some one one nine, verse one three zero some one one nine? Are we see you together? Please? The Bible says, the entrance of thy word, give it what it didn't say it give it information. The entrance of thy word just follow me carefully. The entrance of thy words give it light. Then there is another kind of giving. Again, it now gives understanding. But leave the issue of understanding. The first thing it gives is light. That means whilst that light does not arrive, there is no possibility of understanding the entrance of thy word give it light? Is someone learning Matthew Chapter seventeen and verse five. The language of God is light. The Bible says this was at the Transfiguration, that while he yet speak, behold a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold a voice out of the cloud, which said, this is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased. Then he says, hear, ye him. My question is where they're not listening? So what did he mean by hearing him? You would hear the Bible say again and again that he that hath an ear. Now, remember he was talking to people who are created in God's image. So what kind of ear is this, that he that has an ear letting me hear? What the spirit saith to the churches? Are we together? I want to explain to you something very powerful now, and I'm praying the name of Jesus, the Son of the Living God, that your spirit will be alive to receive. I stand by the integrity of the Lord to tell you this. If you understand what I'm teaching you now, it will shift the climate of your spiritual experience to new dimensions and to new horizons. Are we together? I have established the fact that the goal of the speakings of God. Listen carefully is not just to supply information, but to supply His intent and his will. Is it possible to have two gentlemen, please? Any two gentlemen? Please come? Thank you? Just stand here, everyone please watch you stand here, sir. Down, yes, sir, face me. Now, all of you watch this. Anything I asked you to do, I want you to try to do it. Decipher whatever you think I'm saying. Are we following, Oh, dear, I'm not. What did I say so that should come? What did I say you. Asked me to move forward from a vocal standpoint? This one interpreted what I said as what come? This one interpreted what I said as what But both of them got the intent of my communication. Are you seeing that? Now? Please go back again? Watch this. What did I say? He said, come forward and go left? What did I say, come again? It spread out. Look at this. So now, if this is the only mentor you have to lend the speakings of God, you are already in trouble because you are limited to his vocal expression or his perception of the intents of God. Are we together? Now? Sit down? Sit down, Sit down, Sit down. Let's brain the spirit for one minute. Shaba lacos, sapran de gabel Legosia scap brend de gabel legoto, siatar bando satar. Someone is rising in the spirit following from across the nations of the earth. Light is coming for you now Shapraakuciatar. Years of confusion been miss mystified in the presence of God. Allelujah. Now watch this. So back to our example, this gentleman, based on his perception of what I said, he said, come. So if it's to write a book to document this event, he will say, and God said, come. When you now read this one, he will say, and God said, step forward. You now see why there's the synoptic gospel. Matthew Mark Luke and John all An. Attempt to capture the speakings of God from listen, listen to me. This is very powerful. Both of them are right except that it is a risk to absolutely depend on your perception to understand God. The most important thing. Is not their linguistic progress or their vocal ability that can help. But I am satisfied working with any of them, big tent, and my will was successfully transferred. Are we together? When you study communication now, in English or mass communication, they teach you that the goal of speaking, whether it's a verbal or nonverbal communication, that the goal is to transfer the thought of the speaker to the audience or the listener the final recipient. Am I right on that? So sometimes you may need to use the power of imagery. Sometimes you may need to use linguistic communication progress. Sometimes you may need to use your hands. Like for people who are deaf and dumb. How do you tell those who are deaf and dumb that while you are laughing, they're laughing too. What did they understand by what you said? Because while you are laughing they are also laughing, they are not at a lot at all. As far as communicating. Your intent is concerned, it then means listen. Carefully that the language of God cannot be what this man said. It cannot be what. This man said, although everything they said captured his will. Are we together? Thank you, gentlemen. So I said that the language of God is light. But let me explain very quickly, what is the dynamics of spiritual communication? How does that light become understanding to the believer. For you to understand this, you need to understand the spiritual composition, the design of man. The Bible very clearly tells us that man is spirit. Man does not have a spirit. Man is spirit because God is Spirit. Are we together? And that that spirit is hosted in a body, and that body and that spirit are incompatible because of the rems that they come from. The spirit is from above. This body was made from the doctors, so there is no system of compatibility. A we together? Now? The mind comes that sonical component made up of the will, the emotions, the intellect. That is what creates the bridge between the spirit and the body. The body is an instrument of execution. Are we together? Now? That means that which. The spirit desires, through the faculties of the mind, you are able to execute it. This is. So God communicates his intent captured in his light. Please listen, let me explain to you now that light is received by your spirit man. Your spirit man would have received that light. But you see it cannot be profitable to you because at that rem as light, it cannot minister to your mind and your body. There still has to be a technology of conversion so that understanding can come. It is at the point of understanding that faith can be engaged. Is someone following Now there are times that you know your spirit has received something from God. You know by the weakness of the spirit. And it cannot profit you because you don't even know what to obey. You just know that in the place of prayer, your spirit has received something. All the components that accompany the speakings of. God are their joy peace. I know that have received something, but what exactly have I received? There must be a system of conversion. Now watch this. This is where your mind comes in. In the body of Christ. We have taught people. How to grow your spirits, but we have ignored the place of the mind. We have ignored the fact. That the mind has a vital role to play in interpreting the speakings of God. Now you are about to see. The role play that as robots. As your spirit man is receiving the lights that comes from the communications of God will not give you the basis to manifest faith properly if. There is something wrong with your mind. The mind consists of the will, the emotions, and the intellect. Now watch this. Your mind, through. Learning i wrote here, and through environmental conditioning, has associated certain words and expression with certain feelings. Let me explain to you what I'm being that through learning. Going to school, any kind of education at all, and through your environmental conditioning, you have associated certain words. Are we together now? Certain vocabulary expressions to certain feelings. For instance, if I say ball, you can't think banana because you have associated that object. Are we together? Now? This is powerful. That means the healthier your mind is, the more it can create the vocabulary expressions that interpret the light you have received. Are we together? Now? Listen? If you understand this, you will know what apple respectfully speaking to the fathers of old, they receive many things from God, but because they eat not transformation, they were not able to interpret the speakings of God with accuracy. So their prophetic actions came with a plectora of error. There was no purity in their interpretation because. They I not the place of transformation. And it's a mistake that manly spiritual people are making. They feel this is in contact with God through prayer. They ignore the role that the play in accurately interpreting the speakings of God. I always wondered why Jesus the word incarnate when he came in the flesh at age twelve. The Bible tells us that he was in the temple. Is that in your Bible learning under the Pharisees and the scribes? Why would the world be learning again? No wonder? When Satan came, he said, it is HM. The assignment of your mind therefore is to give the light of God for expressions so that understand can be established. Let me take it again. The assignment of your mind with respect to the speakings of God is to give the light of God that. You have received in your spirit. For tabulary expressions, so that understanding can be established in efficient Ceapter five. I believe verse sixteen the Bible. Tells us we can understand. The will of God? Did I get that seventeen? Be not? Therefore? On wise but understanding what the will of God is, there is no basis for manifesting faith until and unless there is understanding. If you do not understand the instruction I gave you, how can you obey because faith, in. One word, is obedience. Any other thing that is captured in your faith equation. If obedience is missing, you did not manifest Bible faith. If it be, dow bid me come. He only came because he understood what was Like my example with the gentleman, remember. You see that their obedience. Was almost effortless because their understanding was fruitful. That means what man is. The laxity in obedience is not necessarily rebellion on your own part, is that you do not even understand what God is saying. Hallelujah yes Hali sa Brandakapo's theater. The assignment of your mind. Is to give the light of God that captures his will and his intent to give it vocabulary expressions. Now watch this from the example I gave the gentlemen, based on their level of intellectual exposure, are we together their levels of orientation? That was what was responsible for interpreting. What I said. So if this gentleman is more enlightened than this one answer, it's are excellent that his interpretation will be a lot more intellectual and meticulous because he has an array of options. You will now know why the Bible says to be transformed, because your transformation puts. You in a position where you. Have an array of scriptural options to accurately interpret that light you receive from your spirit. I presume that everyone here has a phone. This is the same technology that is used. Watch this now, how many of you remember a phone called what they call it? That is reten? Come on, that is reten? Have you forgotten so early? Are we together? Now? Watch this? And then many of you know the concept of mms? Is that true? There are times when I may want to send you and MMS maybe a picture saying I love you, God bless you, and it is captured in pictorial form. Is that true? I can send it to you? Now watch this. The goal is for you to know that I care. Don't forget. The moment I presssend, does it leave as a flower? No? It leaves us what waves? Notice that you are not interested in the waves. You are interested in capturing the intent that flower to give you a feeling of being loved and accepted. But it comes to your phone now. Notice it will now depend on the configuration of your phone for the accuracy of its interpretation. By the time those waves come into your phone, the quality of your phone can misrepresent what I sent. If someone learning now the phone will do its. Best to use whatever tools are within it rich to interpret what it thinks I send. And there are times you will be offended over something that should bless you. Could that be what has been your situation with God? That there are many times God he said, listen, the direction is left. But because of the absence of transformation, you hear something else. When you upgrade that phone to a better phone, you will be surprised that you now see that mms. Oh, this is what you wanted to say. Now you can respond with joy. So the Bible says Philippians, chapter two, from verse five, it says, let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. There was already a construct, an intelligent word based construct that, even though Jesus was the word internate, he paid the price to equip his mind with the requissigned vocabulary that interprets the speakings of God with accuracy and poorly saying let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Someone can sleep. And there's what people call sleep talking, you know that where people just say a lot of nonsense while they're sleeping. And if they wake up, they can deny it. Now, chances are excellent that if someone is shouting and talking about, say a masquerade or something, someone who lives maybe somewhere in the US, has never seen a masquerade. Chances are excellent, in his sleep talking, he may never mention the word masquerade because it's not captured within the frame of his understanding. Are we together now? Believe us? Please hear me? For as long as we ignore the supremacy of the world, for as long as we do not contend for transformation, there will be apps in our perceiving the will of God. As far as spiritual communication is concerned, the more you immerse yourself in the world, the more you are giving your mind held these scriptural tools which wish to interpret the speakings the light of God. So many believers assume this is one of the reasons why I get concerned when people who do not respect the world claim you're hearing God, and even claim you're hearing for others the imagine of error. I will not trust that hearing. Do you know why now I'm saying this is this is an opinion that is based on scripture. I will not trust that hearing because the word of God is not the basis of your vocabulary composition, chances are excellent that there will be gaps in your interpretation. Is the reason why, respectfully speaking, the prophetic has both blessed and cuse people because the light comes in the place of prayer. But because there is no adequate transformation, the interpretation of the speakings of God end up deviating people from the ways of God. Listen carefully. I believe in the prophetic, but let me tell you our generation, and I'm speaking prophetically to the body of Christ, especially those who are called into the apostolic and the prophetic ministry. Press into the dimension of prayer will expose. Us to the realm of the spirit. And like you'll be learning in my subsequent sessions, there are many voices, Paul said. There is, as it were, many voices, and none of them is without signification. So we need to verify word. What you have is God, and we can very why just by the pleasantness of what you heard, we first need to vet the word component that was resident in your mind as at the time you heard. Because Satan can appear as. An angel of light. Listen, we are living in very perilous times where there is a heightened need for discernment, and discernment is not by superstition. Discernment happens at the instance of your stability through the world. You are grounded through the world, and. On the basis of that stability you can decipher by the character of scripture what is of God and what is not. For the Bible says the Spirit speaking expressly that in the latter time some shall depart from the faith, and they shall. Give it to seducing spirit and the doctrine of demons. The character of said doction is that you most desire what it is bringing for to because a doction, there are many people who went to the place of prayer and return back with speakings that were not of God. When you judge it from the. Lens of the authority of Scripture, it is found one thing and they two steps based on their interpretations of what they felt God was saying. And the result that we see is not the glory of God. Hm Hen we will never settle for less we know there's more that's family you can we will never ces when we know there's small as family. Hannay will sets and valu. I've studied a bit on the history of the church in Nigeria. I'm a student of history and I'm a student of revivals. The reason is because I desire by the grace of God like past also graciously prayed and said, and I'm so grateful for that compliments a we intend to. Last and stay for a long time. So the goal is to find out the ingredients that sponsor LONGIBT. And the way you do. It is by following some them who to faith and patience have obtained There are people who run this race. When others were laughing at them, ignoring the. World, they stayed on the stability of scripture. And when the. Dost settled, like the house that was built on the rock, most of them are standing today. Please yar me, whether you are called into. The apostolic, the prophetic, evangelical, the pastoral, if you do not contend for transformation, I guarantee you you are at the risk of a body longevity, whether in life and ministry. Gifts will come and go, celebrity ministry will come and go. What will keep you? The Bible says, the rains came, the floods came, all kinds of things came, But it was the house that was built. Both houses were built. The problem is not the building. The problem is what. It is built on. HEMI if I never heard the voice of God in my spirit, and I can respect the authority of the world of God, it is accurate enough to lead me with precision, prophetic precision down plain gifts. Listen carefully. The Bible says, to convect nnestley. But I can tell you every other gift has not been tried, but the Word of God has been tried seven times. In fact, the Bible calls it the mar shure word of prophecy. I respect your administering spiritual gifts to the degree to which you respect your authority of scripture. Alice Shai Capranda capo theater. I'm saying this respectfully, especially for younger ministers that are coming up the deception of gifts. Can you can abort a great destiny over life? Set to with the world, obtain grace from God. To set to with the world. Let the world dwell in you richly, says. The degree to which the Word of God has dwelt in you richly. In fact, A chapter twenty on versetaty Tude. Says, and now I commend you to God, Paul was speaking, and to the world of his grace. He says, which. Is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance. Among them that are sanctified. Efficients for eighteen says having their understanding darkened, it says, been alienated from the life of God through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness of their minds. Is someone learning So The voice of God. Represents every spiritual channel that God is able to use to communicate his will and his intent. The most important component in the voice of God is not the speakings of God, but the safety transference of his intent from his heart to your heart. If that arrives safely, all the channels that mid while that process are only enhanced by the health of your mind. No matter how much you claim to hear God, if we do not see his will being done as you obey what you perceive that you heard, we have a right from. The authority of Scripture to vet it. Are we together. The voice of God will always birth the will of God. I started by telling you that the power of God is principally responsible for the manifestation of all the possibilities that we find in the life of the believer, but that the power of God is jurisdictional in its operation. The jurisdiction of the power of God is the will of God. The power of God is not mandated to function outside the will of God. And if ever it functions outside of the will of God, is to bring that person or that situation into the will of God. The end of the administration of the power of God, the end of the speakings of God, is that the will of God. Be establishing the life of the believer. If we're together, say amen, we need to return back from this session and begin to. Pay a healthy respect for the word of God. It is important that we respect the word of God, especially respectfully speaking for those of us who are labor us in the vineyard. We must love and appreciate the ministry of the world beyond preaching. I found your world and I did eat it, and it was a joy and a re joice. Possible. I've been trying to hear God while you are waiting. Let the world dwell in you, so that when he speaks, your interpretation will not retrogress. It will not retrogress you again because of poor hearing. Hearing that does not come through a transformed mind will carry a side. Effect of error, even if it was God that spoke. Because one of the ways I did a teach you one time knowing God as we prepare to pray. One of the ways, there are four ways, according to Scripture, that we know God. Number one is too scripture. Scripture itself. Scripture reveals the character of God, so that by the study of scripture we are able to learn how God operates the models opera of the Kingdom. The second way that we learn God, as revealed in the Bible, are through his names. The names of God are a capture of the various dimensions that are contained in God, that as we learn his names, we also learn him. Number three, we learn God by studying Jesus. The Bible calls him the express image of the invisible God. So as we study Jesus, we have a right to letch everything the prophet said using the reference of Jesus. That means everything they attributed to God if we did not see it in the life of Jesus. We have a scripture of basis to say the way in error or it was a human limitation. For instance, when the Bible says a lying spirit. Came out from God. Remember that scripture. Yes, now we do not see that there is any. Darkness in Jesus, full of grace and truth. That is the character of the Christ that was real. That means we have a right to say either the interpreters were wrong or the prophet who received that word was limited. And you are not in error using the reference of Jesus. And the last and final way we learn God, according. To scripture is through experience. Job said, I have heard of you with the hearing of the ear, but now my eyes see a thee. Alie Sally Cabrandakabaria. You can imagine how powerful it is to come and sit in a conference like this and in a moment light enters your spirit. For some of you, by reason of what you have received. Now, in addition to all that you have heard, you will know how to reject the speakings of Satan, because you see, for our focus is on getting God to speak, not necessarily building capacity to interpret the speakings. And since your persion is to get God to speak, Satan will help you and also speak. Hear me, God speaks, settulit. The question is not whether he will speak. The question is to work on your ability to accurately perceive his communications, and do not limit him to a unique mode of operation. Because for many of us you are looking for God to communicate in a certain way. Your faith and. Probably limited mentorship has still ted you to understand the speakings. Of God only through certain ways. He has the authority as God to use a plethora of options. Your assignment is to make sure your. Spirit is robust. This is why fasting and prayer helps you to gain that accentance. Like a transistor radio, there's waves all the time, but if your transistor radio cannot receive it, it's because you have not uned to the frequency. And do you know, sometimes you are just a few digits to the fun see and yet the radio will still be making a lot of noise. But the moment you cune it and get there, this is your assignment of prayer and fasting to build your spirit to rise to the frequency of the communications of God. But if you stop there, you are in trouble. But we will give ourselves continually asks chapter six and verse four to prayer for the accendance of our spirit man, but to the ministry of the world for the transformation that interprets his speakings so that we can receive His communication with balance, exactitude, and precision. Have you been blessed? Please rise upon your feet. You are the one that we pray. You are the word person. Hear me. God, if you are the one I must see through a dream that is limited spiritual understanding. So you have been waiting for a dream for five years and God used many other chinness to say I'm waiting for you. It is important to stop pegging God at certain operations now because his father based on relationship, it is. Possible for you to sincerely from. Your heart because the character of Father whod according to scripture, is not just having children, but benevolence. If you've been evil, know how to give. There are many times you will overlook and honor the simplicity of your faith, even if it is in ignorance. But when you rise to maturity in the spirit, you must be able to allow the world of God put you in a position where whether it comes by the weakness of the spirit, whether it comes to dreams, every other spiritual operation that God speaks to you through must pass through the sieve of the world for its accurate understanding. So if you have a dream, look at me. I'm rapping up. I shared it with my people many times. If I were Joseph, please look up. If I were Joseph and Pharaoh called me and said I had a dream seven cows, seven lean ones, my mind will goes straight to witchcraft. Not famine. How does cows represent years? How does plants? I would just say this, this is destruction coming. But because he hard regard even though they were in the old. It is amazing. You have given many things interpretations because you have used brain walk not sure. Watch this Three or. Us can see a chain in the spirit, it does not mean bondage. Ornaments are also made of chains, so don't just say because you saw a chain it is bondage. No. No, you can see someone naked in the spirit and say something is wrong, shame. No. Nakedness also means intimacy. Listen, the basis of our remaining in accuracy and with precision as we minister the world and as we guide God's people to hire. Spiritual experiences would not be the gift on our lives. No, as wonderful as that is, and it will not just be opinions that have come based on age long respectfully speaking, limited men toships. We must return to the world of. God and obtain grace from God to begin to bring acturate perspectives to spiritual speakings so that God's people are built holistically. One last example, and then we pray, assuming that because of my work with God, God gives me an instruction and says Joshua Salman, you will never have more than three cars. Now, that is not a doctrine. It is a personalized dealing because based on my work with God, he has vetted me to see that if I have more than that, it. Can distract me. So he created a unique limitation to help my efficiency. So by my obedience you will see me excelling. If you come to ask me what. Is the secret of your results, I will. Tell you I have only three cars. Your mistake now will be to copy me. Faber ting. No, you must discern the essence of what God did, not just action, that the goal was that he wanted to constrain me to be effective. You will now go to God and receive your own version of that dealing. We have copied people blindly, and what has worked for one based on the unique construct of his ministry, has become the limiting factor for another. I hope you are blessed night Father. I obtain grace. Someone, pray. I obtain grace in the name of Jesus, to contend for transformation by the world. Go ahead and pray. I submit all my spiritual experiences, no matter how great they are, no matter how spectacular they are, I submit them to the authority of Scripture for proper interpretation. For proper vetting, so that I do not work in error. The imagine of safety for the believer is dwelling with the Word. Someone is pray. Shade yata allelujah, one last prayer. Father, the grace to be a student of scripture. Plant a hunger in my heart for the Word, so that I contend for transformation. Giving you the tools to actuately interpret the light that comes upon my spirits. Someone lifts your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray. Lift your voice and pray.
