Are you ready for the word? Blessed be the name of the Lord. I sense that this conference is going to be one filled with extra ordinary encounters, not just the delivery of the Word, but that whilst the Word is coming, it will be like it were in Arts Chapter ten. The Bible says, and while Peters packed these things, the spirit of God fell upon all day that hurt him. Are you ready to receive? Allelujah? Now very straight to the business of the night. I took some time to study. Whenever we're holding any sound of revival across the region, I like to take time to study the history of the move of God across that territory, if any, so that I can connect to the things that God had done before. And then it would give me perspective as I believer the world. And I was pleasantly surprised at the many moves of God, the reawakenings that have happened across this territory. In fact, it's purported that Scotland single handedly hosts one of the most frequent and the richest moves of God in recorded history. I'm not here to bore you with all the details. When we talk about the move of God, especially in Scotland, most people just think of John Knox, the great Reformer, but he was not the only person who got used. In fact, he stared a reformation. History would teach us it was him who led the Protestant movement and created a system of presbytery in the church, as against the leadership of one person. But in addition to John Knox, there were many other people who let various moves of God, men and women alike. And as I studied, I read a few books online just to give me perspective. And again I'll save you all that detail. But it's incredible how that for every time the move of God happened in Scotland, it translated to many many things. Number one technological advancement, education, the well being of the people. And it was said at a point that many pubs and beer houses were closing because no one would come to patronize them. It was fire falling everywhere, prayer, fire, greater consecration. But eventually, and for some reason, as you'll be learning tonight, there was a decline in the spirituality of a place, for instance, like Glasgow, Scotland. Last I checked, and this was as recent as yesterday. Did you know that statistics shows that about fifty percent of the people in Scotland do not attest to belonging to any religion, at least fifty I think fifty four percent, or they're about to be exact. That means, in feeling any form where there is a provision for religion or faith, they would admit vocally that they did not believe in Jesus. This was a place that was a hobb for the move of God. Allelujah. It's been said that many of the cathedrals around this region are largely empty, and most believers are not interested whatsoever, or those who have a Christian origin are not interested whatsoever in anything Church, anything God, anything Christian activity. But in the name of Jesus, we came by the spirit of God to change that narrative. We came to fan to flames again, the revival fire in the name of Jesus. If you believe that, shout amen. And so for this conference, I'll be staring our hearts through a series of teachings while men slept will be looking at Part one. The goal is to show you satan strategy for tonight, how his sponsors a decline in spirituality. We're going to be studying a few things for the time that we have, and please let me and courage you, particularly if you're a minister of the Gospel, you would want to listen to the things that I have to share. I have been a student of revival by the grace of God and by his mercies. I want to unveil to you the strategy by which Satan uses to sponsor a decline in spiritual vibrancy across a life, across a family, across a region, across a territory. So we're considering while men slept, we look at pat one tonight, and for a sub topic, we're looking at the mystery of spiritual decline. If you already shout a man two scriptures very quickly, Matthew chapter thirteen. Matthew Chapter thirteen. Will look at verse twenty four down to thirty. Matthew thirteen, another parable, putting forth onto them saying, the kingdom of Heaven is likened onto a man which sold good seeds in his field twenty five. But while men slept, take note, his enemy came, and so tars among the weeds and went his way twenty six. But when the blade was sprung up and brought forth food, then appeared the tars. Also, so the servants of the household that came and said onto him, Sir, did's not dout so good seats in thy field? And from whence had it tears? And he said onto them, and enemy had done this. Take note of two expressions. Number one, while men slept, number two, an enemy had done this. The servants said onto him, will doubt them that we go up and gather them up to more verses. But he said, nay. Let's while ye gather up the tears, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together. He says, until the harvest. And in the time of harvest, I will say to the rippers, gather ye first the tears, and bind them in bundles to burn them. But gather the wait onto my band. The Lord blessed the reading of his word in Jesus' name. A second scripture, second Corinthians, chapter two and verse eleven. Second Corinthians two, verse eleven A requests that we read together in concert. Are you ready one to go? Less? Satan should get an advantage of us, for we are not ignorant of His devices. And so history, like I said earlier on, captures strong seasons of the move of God, especially in territories like Scotland. And it also sadly captures a shocked, shocking decline, decline in spirituality, decline in godliness, in fervency, and so on and so forth. And the Bible lets us know that one of the elements, according to Jesus's teaching, that was responsible for this decline was that man slept. It says why men sleep? Let me talk for a minute about that. Sleep in the Bible has both a positive and a negative connotation. When you study scripture, you will find instances of sleep, and for some of them they are positive in their connotations, and then for others they are negative in their connotations. I want to take three of them. Three connotations that sleep represent according to scripture. Are we learning already? Number one, sleep, according to scripture connote rest and refreshing from exhaustion. If you're writing, please write that down. The first connotation of sleep, according to scripture is as a means of obtaining rest and refreshing from exhaustion. When we are exhausted, when we're spent, when we're furnished. Usually the medical recommendation and the natural recommendation is that we sleep. You find that in Proverbs chapter three and verse twenty four Proveraps three and verse twenty four. The Bible says, when thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid. Yeay, thou shalt lie now, and thy sleep shall be sweet. Someone having sleep problems shall amen, amen, meaning you are receiving your healing in the name of Jesus Christ. Scripture number two proverabs shop Psalms Chapter four and verse eight. I'm showing you the connotation of sleep as a means for rest and refreshing. It says, I will both lay me down in peace and sleep, for Thou Lord only makes me dwell in safety. Can I give you two more scriptures p. One twenty seven and verse two. P. One twenty seven and verse two. Yes, what It says it is vain for you to rise up early and to sit up late to eat the bread of sorrow. For so he give it his beloved sleep. Who gives sleep God himself, And the Bible says, every good and every perfect gift comes from above. One final scripture. We find that in fact as a story in Mark chapter four, and we read from verse thirty five down to forty one for scriptures to show you sleep as a representation of a strategy for rest and refreshing. The Bible says, and the same day, when the even was come, he said, onto them, let us pass over onto the other side. And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the sheep, And the Bible says, there were other ships with him, you know, little ships around. And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the sheep, so that it was now full interesting story, the Bible says, And he the heath in Jesus was in the hit that part of the sheep as sleep. Who are sleeping Jesus? Even Jesus slept on a pillow, And the Bible says, they awake him and say, unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish. Thirty nine he arose from sleep, He rebuked the wind. He said onto the sea, peace be still, and the wind ceased, and there was great calm. Two more verses, and then he said onto them, why are ye so fearful? How is it that he have no faith? Final verse And they feared exceedingly and said to one another, what manner of man is this? That even the winds and the waves obey him? So the first connotation of sleep according to scripture is as a strategy for rest and refreshing from exhaustion. If we're still together, say Amen number two. The second connotation for sleep, according to scripture is death, cessation of living in as much as we know, within the frame of this life, when people die in the Bible, especially in christ we say they are asleep. You find that, for instance in Deuteronomy, chapter thirty one and verse sixteen. Deuteronomy chapter thirty one and verse sixteen, the Lord said onto Moses, behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, And these people will rise up and go hourring after other gods of the strangers of the land. With that they go to be among them, and will forsake me and break my covenant. He meant, after you are dead, after you are gone, and God uses the expression sleep. Next scripture Psalms thirteen and verse three. I'm establishing for you the various connotations that sleep according to scripture represent, He says, consider and hear me. The Sami says, Oh Lord, my God. He says, lighten my eyes lest I sleep the sleep of death, the sleep of death. Two more scriptures John chapter eleven were reading from verse eleven to fourteen. This is Jesus speaking concerning Lazarus. The Bible says this thing, said he, And after that he said, unto him, our friend Lazarus sleep path. So he's speaking to the people about Lazarus's condition, and he uses the word sleep. But I go that I may awake him out of sleep. Verse twelve. The disciple said, Lord, if he's sleep, then he shall do well. They were thinking of the first connotation as rest and refreshing. How big. The Bible says Jesus spake of his death, but they thought that he had spoken of taking rest in sleep. So there is rest through sleep or in sleep, and there is the sleep of death. And then Jesus spoken to them plainly, Lazarus is dead. You're learning, let me hear loud believing Amen. I give you a final scripture first, Thessalonian chapter four will read thirteen and fourteen. We're looking at sleep as it refers to death. But I would not have you to be ignorant. Paul, speaking to the church in Thessalonaika, concerning them which are as sleep, he says, that his sorrow not even as others, which have no hope. Fourteen. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again in that similitude, even so them which sleep in Jesus, the Bible says, God will also bring with him. So the first connotation of sleep is for rest and refreshing. Second is death. Number three, and that is our concern for tonight. Sleep also, according to scripture, has been used to refer to a stage of spiritual decline, a state of spirit ual decline. We find that, for instance, in Matthew, chapter thirteen and verse twenty five, the Bible says, we read that earlier. Let's read again, but while men slept. The only authorization for the enemy to have accessed the farm and to sow tears among wheat was that the men were asleep. One final scripture, efficients chapter five and verse fourteen. Paul, speaking to the church in Ephisos, he says, wherefore he said, our wake, dow that sleepers, he says, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give de life. Let me read one more time our wake. He says now that sleepers and rise from the dead, and Christ shall give you light. For the purpose of this discussion, we're going to be looking at the third connotation. We're not looking at sleep as a means for rest and refreshing. We're not looking as sleep as per death. We're looking at sleep as representing a state of spiritual decline. Now, very quickly, I want to for tonight on mask for you Satan's agenda, his plot against the Church, and how he intentionally programs spiritual decline across a life, across a family, across a territory, and any other region for that matter. Are we together for a foundation write this down. God has an agenda for individuals. God has an agenda for families. God has an agenda for territories. He has an agenda for nations. God Almighty has an agenda. He has a prophetic program. We call it an agenda for individuals, including you and I. God has a prophetic program for families. God has a prophetic program for territories including Glasgow, Scotland, and he has an agenda for nations. Three scriptures to explain that. Jeremiah twenty ninety eleven, he says, I know the thoughts that I think towards you. They are thoughts of peace and not of evil, to bring you an expected end. Festimoea, Chapter two and verse four reveals God's agenda for the nations. The Bible says, he desires that all men shout, all men come on Glasgow, like you believe, say all men. He desires that all men be saved and they come onto the knowledge of the truth. So this represents his agenda for the nations. In ASTs chapter one and verse eight ads Chapter one and verse eight, the Bible says, you shall receive power after that the Holy Goost has come upon you, and you shall be weaknesses. And he begins to name territories Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and even to the autumost part of the earth. So God has an agenda. He has a prophetic program for the nations. He has a program for Glasgow, Scotland. He has a program for UK, he has a program for Europe. He has a program for any other nation. Connected you believe that shout Amen, Hallelujah. And in summary, you see God's program is always around and thrown in Christ. In the hearts of men, and throwning his value system in the minds of men were together, and bringing territories under the government of the Christ. If you are to summarize God's program, it's not just about planting churches, stating ministry, holding reviver programs. All of these and those are only a means to an end. God's program ultimately is to have Christ and His purposes and throned first in the hearts of individuals and then across every strata of human activities. If you're following so fast, shout a man. Satan also has an agenda for individuals for families. Now let me have your attention. So it's not only God who has an agenda for individuals and families. Satan also has a prophetic program for individuals, including you and I. He has a prophetic program for families. He has a prophetic program for regions, for territories. First pee to chapter five and verse eight, the Bible tells us to be sober. Then it says to be vigilant. The word vigilant means to be alert, to be discerning. It says, because your adversary doesn't call him, your friend doesn't call him, your business partner calls him, an adversary. The devil, as a roaring lion, walk at about, seeking whom he may devour. Second Corinthians, Chapter four and verse four, establishing the fact that Satan also has an agenda. The Bible calls him the God of this world, and that his agenda and his program, among others, is to blind the minds of unbelievers, less the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine upon them who is following. So far, Satan has an agenda, now believe it or not, whether you admit, whether you accept Satan has a prophetic program with your name on it, with my name on it, with Glasgow there, with Scotland, there with UK Europe. He has an agenda, and it allowed. He will execute that agenda unhindered. But I'm happy to announce to Satan that there is an emergence of people, beginning from tonight, who will stop perpetually the advancement of his program. If you're a part of that army, let him here by a loud shout of a man. Now listen carefully. Every attack of Satan on the saints I wrote here is a progressive attempt to actualize that agenda of stealing, killing and destruction. Every attack on the Saints. Everyone, whether a man of God, whether a business man, whether he comes through sickness, whether he comes through delay, whether he comes through activating yokes and curses, in whatever manner he chooses to come, I want you to know that his attacked, especially upon the Saints, is a progressive attempt to actualize this agenda of stealing, killing and destruction. Let me summarize for you Satan's agenda. It's important you have this as a rule of thumb, so that you know that every time you see Satan around a family, around a vicinity, this is the reason for which he has come. Number one, Satan's first agenda for all men, but particularly believers. Are you ready number one? To stop men from knowing Jesus and accessing the life that comes through the Gospel. I'll take that slowly because I need you to hear and write. Satan's first agenda. Doesn't matter if he's in Glasgow, whether he's in Kuwait, Catar, Nigeria, Ghana, anywhere at all. When you find Satan or as represented by any demonic force, the first port of call is to stop men from knowing Jesus. You can imagine how Satan fought and fort and fort to stop you from coming here. You can imagine how Satan is fighting progressively to stop your loved one from knowing Jesus. But tonight, in the name of Jesus, we call him a liar. We call him a liar. So his first assignment is to stop men from knowing Jesus and accessing the life that comes through the Gospel. Paul says, I'm not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ. He calls it the power of God onto salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jews, to the Gentiles. It doesn't matter. The Gospel sustains within itself, if preached properly, and if received by faith, the power to liberate men. To sponsor a translation the Bible teaches from the Kingdom of Darkness into the Kingdom of God's dear Son. Number two Satan's agenda, I wrote here to cause men to perpetually rebel against the government of Jesus and the culture that comes with that government. You may want to listen, and then I'll slowly guide you to right. His second assignment is to call men to perpetually rebel agains the government of Jesus, and then to rebel against the culture. And when I talk of culture, I don't just mean the rituals. I'm talking about the mindset, the modus operandi, the way of behavior that comes with that kingdom. Now, you're right. His second assignment is to cause men to perpetually rebel against the government of Jesus and the culture that comes with that government. He uses the tool of hate, he uses the tool of wickedness, he uses the tool of witchcraft. Are we together? All of these tools are Satan's arsenals. He helps to program people into hating the God of the Bible and everything that is pro christ everything pro Christian, everything, pro kingdom. Assignment number three, Satan's third assignment is to program every civilization to hate God and fight those who love him. Satan has a unique assignment that he's given himself as an expression of his hatred for God. He has these mandates to program every civilization to hate God. Now think about that for a moment and take note of my choice of words. To program every civilization to hate God and then to fight those who love him to hate God. Little wonder, we have a generation with an increasing hatred for God, increasing hatred for Church, increasing hatred for Christian programs, Men of God. There are people who cannot explain the basis and the motivation for their hatred. They hate men of God. They hate Church was their passing, and they just see a church, a cathedral, in any form of fashion. There's that anger, that annoyance. They don't even know where it came from. I'm telling you it's a programming. It's a programming to hate God, a programming to hate everything spirituality. Let me add one final assignment I'm unveiling for you on masking for you. Satan's assignment that he has an agenda. Satan is not just about looking for people carelessly. He is governed by a vision he's casted before himself. And number one, I said for a recap that his first assignment is to stop men from knowing Jesus and assessing the life that comes through the Gospel. Number two, to cause men to perpetually rebel against the government of Jesus and the culture that comes with that government. Number Three, he programs every civilization to hate God and then to fight all those who love him. Number four. His fourth assignment is to stop many from manifesting a life of honor, glory and dominion, to stop men, especially the saints. Now that he could not stop you from being saved, his next assignment is to stop you. Even though you are saved, even though you are born again, he stops you from manifesting a life of honor, a life of glory, and a life of dominion. So everywhere you see Satan, this is what he is about. Fighting your dominion, fighting your loving Jesus, fighting church, fighting priesthood, fighting everything that is pro Christ. Are we learning while men slept? And let me share with you the sequence, the sequence as far as how he carries these things about. Now you will learn from what I'm about to show you how a nation, a territory, a family, an individual can be on fire today and then experience such spiritual decline. Did you know there are people today some of the biggest enemies of the Church were once part of revivals. Have you heard people say that I was part of Soso So and sol revival? But now they hate the Church. They fight everything that is God. When Satan wants to destroy a territory, Please listen. If you're a minister of the Gospel, here I want to give you, by the lens of Scripture, by the privilege of the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, how Satan degenerates an individual, degenerates a territory. When you understand this and you can stand against it, then revival can be preserved within a territory. I want to show you three or four steps. When Satan wants to destroy any territory spiritually, this is what he does. Please pay attention Number one. His first attack is on priesthood. When Satan wants to destroy Glasgow, once to destroy Scotland, once to destroy UK, once to destroy Europe, Nigeria, Africa, any nation whatsoever. Listen. He does not go to the banks, he does not go to the schools. He will visit them eventually. His first part of call is the priesthood within that territory, meaning the spiritual voices across that territory. The Carrier thirteen and verse seven. His first port of call. When he desires to attack God's program and attack the purposes of God within and across the territory, he finds priesthood. He finds the spiritual voices within that territory. That's his first part of call. Read with me ready, want to go. He says, awake, o sword against my shepherd, and against the man that is my fellow, Saith, the Lord of hosts. He says, smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. Smite the shepherd. That means if Satan intends to attack everyone seated here, he will start by attacking the man who feeds them spiritually. Are we together? He attacks the people responsible for shaping their spiritual convictions. Satan will never attack a territory widespread if he has not attacked the priesthood. If Satan progresses with his attacks, it means priesthood has fallen. Are we together? How does he attack the spiritual voices? There are only two areas in the life of a man of God Satan attacks. He does not attack everywhere. It will look like he's attacking every aspect of that man's life. But there are only two areas Satan is interested in to destroy priesthood. One he attracts consecration. Number Two, he attacks your message. Two things. If Satan attacks your consecration and attacks your message, he's destroyed your priesthood. When Satan attacks spiritual voices men and women of God. The first area in their lives. He attacks is their consecration your devotion. He attacks the very spiritual protocol that preserves the glory upon your life. According to leviticals to extradors, Chapter I mean Liviticul, chapter nine and verse six. It says, this is a thing that the Lord commanded that you should do, and then the glory of the Lord shall appear onto you. Let me teach you something. Believer us, please listen, and those online, I plead that you follow with me carefully. The spirit life has a culture that preserves the glory upon an individual. Are we together? When you come into Christ, there is a way the Bible mandates and demands that you behave if you desire to see the glory of God resident and preserved upon your life. So when you come into Christ, you obtain that grace. It's not of works, but once you are saved, the Holy God supplies are not that dimension of grace called the enabling grace. It empowers you. But you take advantage of that grace and you begin to live out the culture of the spirit life. Are we together? Now? It is upon your living that culture of the spirit life that you begin to access strength, access power. That's why you can have two believers say ponnte againe what their possibilities in the spirit will defer. You know why, because one has taken advantage of that enabling grace and he's working in keeping with the culture of the spirit life. The Bible calls it the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus. There is life in Christ Jesus, but there is a law that governs it. The word law there does not mean all New Testament is simply an old word for operation, the operation of the spirit of life. That means sin and death does not just work. There is an operation, and when you partner with that operation, you will manifest that nature. Are we together? The spirit life also has an operation. There is a way you have to engage with the spirit and engage with the world to manifest the spirit life. If you're following me, say Amen, prays the name of the Lord. So when we talk about consecration, we're looking at two things. Number one abstinance. Number two devotion. Now, most people when they teach on consecration, they only dwell across the area of abstinence. Abstinence from everything that is not of God, everything that can corrupt. You know, the purity of your oil and your anointing. And that is true. But that's only one side. A man who avoids evil but is not totally devoted to God is still not consecrated. Consecration goes beyond abstinence. When abstinence is sorted, the next thing becomes devotion. He says, I love you more than my necessary food. How behold or how I love your Lord? Say? They are my meditation always day and night. Many people may not necessarily be having the same problem, but they are not wholly devoted onto God. So when we teach abstinence, or when we teach consecration, it captures two dimensions. Number one, abstinence from evil. The Bible says, nevertheless, the foundation of the Lord's standards show having this seal that the Lord knoweth them that are his. And let every man that named the name of Christ depart from iniquity away together. But then there is the second dimension, total devotion. Total devotion. When Satan wants to affect or attack the spiritual voices, he attacks your consecration, the spiritual conditions that protect and preserve the glory of God upon your life. Number two, Satan attacks your message. In fact, let me back down a bit and tell you the various ways by which he attacks your consecration. There are no number of strategies he uses to attach your consecration. I'll give you a few of them. Number one pride. Pride is one way Satan attacks a man's consecration. Number two complacency, pride, complacency. Number three carelessness. In fact, Satan can even use frustration, he said, watch your separators from the love of Christ. There are times you can be so frustrated because things are not going well with your life, and it can degenerate you. You can get into a state of decline. Hallelujah. Many believers have gone down as far as preserving the consecration within their lives that protect the grace of God. Now, let me teach you something about the anointing. Every dimension of grace and empowerment you acts, it is preserved by a certain degree of consecration. You don't need to pray and say, Father, keep the oil on my head. All you need to do is to work in keeping with the consecration that is connected to that grace. Every dimension of grace and oil has an allotted level of consecration that preserves it When Satan wants to fight the anointing, he does not fight the anointing by fighting it. He fights the consecration that preserves it. If you are something, he will fight your hair because the glory and the strength is connected to your hair. Are we learning now? Prays the name of the Lord. Satan fights priesthood by fighting your consecration. And then when he's done fighting your consecration, he fights your message. Please listen to this. Please listen to this. Particularly if you're a minister of the gospel. You know how he fights your message by adulterating the purity of its content or by ensuring the message is not wholesome and balanced. Satan fights the message of a man of God number one by adult treating the purity of its content. The word adult traits means to make of a lesser quality by introducing an inferior substance. When you adultraate a thing, the goal is to reduce its quality by introducing something for him. Are we together? So, when Satan wants to fight a man of God, when Satan wants to fight a potent message, what he does is number one. He will cause you to adultraits the purity of that message, or number two, if he fails to achieve that, he will cost you to be so lobsided with your message. It is not wholesome and it is not balanced, adds Chapter twenty and verse twenty seven. Please give it to us At twenty twenty seven is said, for I have not shonned to declare onto you all the counsel of God, all the counsel of God. Verse twenty eight it says, take it therefore onto yourselves and to all the flock by which the Holy Goods had made you overseer, to feed the Church of God with wholesome message, wholesome light, which he had purchased with his own blood. I can submit to you that there are many men of God and many ministries under attack and their unaware. Two kinds of attacks with respect to your message. Number one, the purity of your message, and so there's a lot of adult treated corrupt teachings that come from the pulpits are we together, and I'm going to be showing you shortly the effect of such corruption. But number two, and not the layer of it, is that you are not necessarily corrupt. Your message is pure, but it's not wholesome. So you present a lopsided God. And when people embrace a lopsided God, they are programmed to respond to that limited God. Are we together now? Satan attacks priesthood? Who is learning so far? If you're a man of God, I'm showing you what Satan is interested in doing in your life right now, attacking your consecration and attacking your message, the purity of it and the balance of it. I'm passionate as a man of God to seeing that I communicate the whole counsel of God. I have seen firsthand what happens to a believer when they are not trained holistically. The area of limitation in your life is where say and will fashion his percental against you. I give you an instance. If you teach a believer to love Jesus and not be visionary, he will love Jesus, but his lack of vision will be where Satan will attack him away together. If you teach a believer to be very valuable, very gifted, very skilled, and you don't teach him to be passionate about his prayer life, that person will be a very successful business man at the expense of his spiritual growth. The assignment of priesthood is not just to teach it is to ensure that it becomes a well rounded communication of light, so that you build believers holistically. When you study food and nutrition, we teach about six classes of food away together, and it's thought that including water. Do you know you can eat as healthy as you want and don't take water, it will still affect you. Am I right on that you can take water, no matter how pure and purified, and then don't engage the other classes of food. It will affect your growth and affect your development. If you're following. So first, amen, So let me give you the second sequence. I've spoken about his attack on priesthood, meaning if Satan wants to attacked Glasgow. In fact, that's the way he declined this region, with all due respect to the states that it is currently, he started by attacking priesthood. Now, I've studied God's generals, and I've studied a number of revival moves of God and great men and women who carried this revival fire. Usually the revival died during or shortly after they passed. You know why, because Satan left the issue of the revival and started affecting the revival. He so taught shot them either using their health, you know, health issues or family issues, or issues of consecration, or their message or persecution. He did something that degenerated the individual and the move eventually. It is the reason why when you see God using a man, using a people, if you are blessed to your lives, begin to pray for them. Now you know where Satan will come. He will come to attack you by attacking the person who blesses you. He attacks you by attacking the person who lifts you. So when you see a man, watch these ladies and gentlemen. Every time you see that. Satan wanted to destroy the nation of Israel, but he was looking for the Savior, the Deliverer. He first wanted Moses, where is this Moses? Where is this Deliverer? The goal is to destroy God's people, but he wanted to destroy whoever could be savior. It's the same strategy. When he comes into a family, he looks for the most spiritual person, who is the intercessor in this family, who is the person who is most discerning, who has trained himself to dream dreams, to see visions. You find out that there is and I so late an attack on one person, and sometimes we make the mistake of esther. We say, my God, I don't know what is wrong with this guy. Things are not working. No, the attack is supposedly for you. He started with the man, because when he brings down the strongest person, then he can attack every other person. So if you laugh an attack on a man of God, you are laughing at your future, because when the devil is done with him, he will come. You do not yet have the level of spiritual intelligence, the stamina, and the capacity to wage that war in the spirit by yourself. The one who stands for you, stands with you, prays awake while you are sleeping. Certain will launch an attack in the name of Jesus. With the cree and declare every man of God, every spiritual voice in this nation, in this region, who is under attack, for the sake of the people, he or she is leading with decreean declare, let the power of darkness stay away from your life, that it be stared away from your families, be stared away from your destinies. In the name of Jesus. Who is learning Satan does not start by attacking a crowd. It's a fully strategy. No, he looks for the strongest voice, the voice mandated by God to raise, to build, to annoyed. Are we together? Talk to me? When Satan wanted king his thinking to a broad redemption, did he kill everybody he looked for Jesus, except that it was the hidden wisdom of God. When he found Jesus and Jesus declared that he was the son of God, he stopped. He even let Barabbas go because his interest was Jesus. When Jesus died, I could imagine him having a big relief. Suddenly Jesus shows up in Hell and says, you made a big mistake. You killed me for their sake, and you are correct because now you gave me the legititimacy to hand over the righteousness of God in Christ. You see that now it was with his own strategy that he was defeated. Let me tell you this. The moment you begin to be prayerful, to fast and pray, I like you to be vigilant because your dedication is sending a signal in the spirit. And when Satan looks at you, he's looking at ten people behind you who your growth is covering. Are we together? When Satan looks at you as a mother, he knows that your children are not yet born Againe. Your spouse is not yet born again. But he's hearing your prayer whilst you are praying in the night, and he wants to attack you, to send the thats of discouragement. God is speaking to someone tonight to send the thats of a housing problem, a health problem, or the whole calleage to distract you. Now listen. Most believers are not apostolic in interpreting spiritual things, so in the midst of attacks and negative conditions, sometimes they think they offended God because as far as they are concerned, they cannot find anything in their life that should have warranted that attack. Satan is always generational in the things that he does. When he looks at one man, he finds out how many nations are behind you. That determines the gravity of the attack. So you can be as innocent as sincere as you are. Why is the financial problem befalling me? Is because he's seen ten churches through your increase. He's not just looking at your bank account. He's seeing ten churches that will be built when you become a Kingdom millionnaire. That's what he's attacking, not your bank account. Are we together? Why is he insisting that your child becomes autistic because he's seen it. Prophet, It's not about autism. Help that, lady and dadya anointed. He's seeing a prophet, He's seeing an apostle. He knows that there is a script in the spirit that a prophet will arise from this woman. Why is he stopping you from getting the church land? Why is he stopping your husband from a job you think? He does not want you to have a house. That's too small a reason. He wants to sear the marriage apart because he knows through that union there is a sago who will come up. Learn to interpret every attack from the lens of prophecy. You are too small a reason for set and to invest his energy. He's attacking what you represent, not just you, attacking the destinies behind you, not just you. The caparantos sattack, attack, Allelujah, And let me tell you this, ladies and gentlemen, I submit to you by the integrity of God's world. The gravity of the attack represents the weight of glory he has seen. It is true. It is true. It is true. Show me any man who has imagined the spirit without a story of fighting the beast of Ephisos. Without the story of surviving attacks, I show you fake growth. Any one you see carrying an apostolic prophetic mantle. The requirement is that you must have survived all kinds of things. He will attack you. It doesn't matter who you are. He attacked Moses. You know how many children died because he was looking for Moses. You know how many children died because he was looking for Jesus. The dream is not about you, Joseph. The dream is about Israel getting into the world. Is not about you, Joseph. No, you are too small a reason for your brothers to hate you. That hatred was not natural. It was engineered. Because you saw the sun. You saw the moon, and you saw eleven starts bowing well Man slept Allelujah number two. When Satan is done attacking priesthood, attacking the spiritual voices, or you may want to write the strongest spiritual force within any units, any family, any territory. The next part of call is he attacks the church. Notice the progression. The goal is to destroy society, but he starts by attacking priesthood. When he's done with priesthood, attaching your consecration, attaching your message, adult treating it or stopping you all some delivery of truth. His next assignment is to come to the church. Why the church, because the church is called the pillar and the ground of truth First Timoth three point fifteen. A sense the glory of God in this place. I'm telling you, your glory stangible in this place. Lord, you're doing something great awakened supernatural fame. Ah, your glory extangible in this place. Lord, you're doing something great, awakened, supernatural. Sing with me, h. For our fast. Hell, she. Manifest your time from your heart. Now hell. Shut down. Man first, please be seated while you hear me teach. I like you to use intelligence and tell me whether you can see the sixties repeating itself again. You see the pattern is the same. He's done it before. This is not the first time he's fighting a man of God. It is a strategy. It will not change. Now he's fighting the church. How does he fight the church? Listen? He brings division, He brings this unity. He saw seeds of discord. Satan fights the church as the ground and the pillar of truth. Doctor Dela O. Shumac and his PhD. His thesis, and I benefited greatly. His thesis was I think something along, you know, religion and the move of God and so on and so forth. And he sent me an article one time, part of his thesis on the history of the Church the move of God in Nigeria for a case study. And I was almost in tears as I studied it, because I saw a repetition the things that happened before we were born. Sends strategy. He fights priesthood, then he begins to fight the church. He uses the weapon of disunity, he uses the weapon of division, he uses seeds of discord. Let me tell you this, Satan does not fight the church by necessarily bringing an external force. He creates the trouble of the church within the church. In medicine, we call it autoimmune disease. Am I right on that where your body the antibodies that were designed Talk to me, medical people, Am I right on that? That they are supposed to fight the external forces, and yet for some reason they begin to fight itself. And in fighting itself, they believe they are doing God's service. It's an attack, It's a strategy, that autoimmune strategy. The body of Christ globally is going through it right now. So if I fight past or that, and he fights me. What happens with those who love both of us? Are you seeing where the problem is? What happens with those who are benefitted from His worship and benefitted from His apostolic ministry? You keep young believers in limbo confused because of the pressure for o allegiance. I can tell you you studied the move of God in Scotland. This was the progression of the decline. It got to a point where priesthood. You know, when you study God generals, you find out that there was a time this began to happen between Alexander the way a weay together and Maria would want eater Alexander the way. Now history would teach us that you was told that there was a woman who was being mightily used by God, and there were all kinds of transits happening in the ministry, and he felt insulted, and he began to speak against us without verifying what was there. It affected the program of God. The thing that is is, the thing that was. The past holds the key to the future. If you can look back, you will know how to go forward. Are we together? I can tell you the move of God in Glasgow would never have ended, except that war came on the church divisions. Now, don't get me wrong, there are times that there's a need to correct things that are wrong, and so on and so forth. I'm not endorsing licentiousness and saying everything should just go, but we need to be careful. Remember what I taught you now about autoimmune disease. When your body begins to fight your body, and viruses don't need to do much, you are already dead. It's only a matter of time. Are we together? I am for Paul, I am for Apollos. Now those who become victims of these are the sincere members. And I'm praying in the name of Jesus that beginning from Glasgow, spreading across UK, Europe to Africa America, God is going to begin to unite and meets the body of Christ. Are we together? That we may be different in various ways, but that those differences are too smallly reason to sit down and plot the downfall and the antagonism of one another. We must look at the bigger program of God who is learning tonight Satan fights the church. He stands from within. Then when the church begins to fight from within, it legitimizes external forces to join that fight, because now they have the legitimate ground to sell say we have to come, we can come and intrude on this. Does it look like what is happening in the church Now? Anybody can write anything against any church, any pastor anyone you know where they've got that authority from the way we have treated ourselves. When we treat ourselves with dishonor abusing the grace of God upon one another, it gives the cred hens for people who are not of God to make vain contributions. Are we together, please pay attention to the foundation I'm laying tonight. When the church begins to fight itself, it loses credence as a reliable platform for adding value to society. When the church begins to fight itself, the government, institutions, individuals now have a right to say the church's contribution to the state of the nation is not needed because they cannot see any value we are bringing. It begins to legitimize Antichrist policies. That's the third level. The third level is when Satan now destroys the church. You know what he does. He begins to infiltrate institutions, with an Antichrist compromise belief system, believe systems that are Antichrist, believe systems that are against the culture of the kingdom, family, education, politics, government. All of these Antichrist belief systems start coming in, and because they are institutionalized, they will be protected by laws and policies. This is how the program of God dies. When it was time to aboord the program of God over Babylona sat and look for one man, Daniel, is that in your Bible. He attacked that one man, trying to find a place for compromise. As far as consecration and all of that is found. They could not find anything wrong. You know where he went. He went to the government, the parliament, and he said, in not a law or king that for thirty days they'll not be prayer to any God except by you. Because he knew that as touching the matter of his loyalty and devotion, Daniel would not default. Ladies and gentlemen, listen to me. Corrupted or in balanced teachings from the poor Pitch, I wrote here alongside the ideas that come from frustrated believers, now from a new set of largely poisonous value systems, that are absorbed in society. Corrupted or in balanced. Teachings that come from the pool pit, alongside the ideas that comes from frustrated believers, now form a new set of largely poisonous value systems that are absorbed into society. I'll give you an example of those value systems. Poisonous value systems like ignoring prayer are we together because somebody will come up and say prayer does not work. So you see, he sells an idea or she sells an idea that society begins to embrace. And then on the flip side, another person comes up with a very spiritual but destructive value system like relying on prayer alone without responsibility to change society. There are people who believe the only thing that changes society is prayer alone. That is not true. Here is from me that is not true. Prayer is pie fertile to betting revival and advancement in any society, but it is not the only key. A generation that only prays and does not rise up to responsibility will have abondance of prasis that would remain domant. It cannot be engaged. Daniel prayed in the night to receive the secret but you went to stand before the king and to intelligently articulate it. Are we together? Now? So you see the kind of poisonous mindset that destroy the move of God. So on one hand, all coming from the church, you have someone fighting prayer, for instance, and trying to render to make it important and unnecessary. Then you have another person to the other side of the pendulum, exaggerating the concept of it without addition of responsibility. It is always king priest. It is not priest alone. If you are a priest alone, you would die in the temple. If you are king alone, you don't have the spiritual acking. It is king priests. Are we together? Let me give you another poisonous value system that can come when Satan finds the church. The exaggerated prosperity or materialistic gospel. Now that's a serious problem in the body of Christ. In an attempt to teach that you know, abondance is God's will, sometimes you have on one hand of the pendulum an exaggerated prosperity or materialistic gospel. Everything money, everything, money, everything money, doesn't matter whether you are God fearing, just have money. We equate money to spirituality. No, that is not correct. These are the wrong value systems that water down the program of God. Now the flip side, I will always give you balance, the balance in correcting that value system of exaggerated materialism. If we are not careful, we swing to the other side and embrace poverty and mediocrity to demonstrate holiness. Both of them are wrong. Are we together? Now? Your attention should not be on materials and money and all of that. It would destroy your consecration, destroy the move of God. But again, if you reject the abondance that it takes to drive the program of God like sound of revival, you can imagine the kind of resources that have gone in to make this happen. That is because we embrace the whole counsel of God who is learning. Now there are many of you. If only you are settled down to listen to a balanced message on wealth and abondance, you will not be having a problem playing your bills, because within those teachings are the secrets that can liberate you and give you time to save God well. But because you are being programmed that paying attention to these order matters will interrupt yourself of holiness, you have rejected the dimensions of the Kingdom, and it's affecting your entire life. Now, someone shout the whole counsel of God, say it like you are learning, said the whole counsel of God? Are we learning tonight? Let me give you number three? What is the third point? I'm just picking a few. There are so many of them. I'll give you the third over dependence on visions and trances as against the world of God. So that is another corrupted. When Setan begins to fight the Church, these kinds of exaggerations begin to come. Over dependence on the prophetic, over dependence on visions and transits as a way of directing your life without honor to the supremacy of the world of God. You studied the move of God in the fifties and sixties, especially Nigeria. What corrupted the prophetic movement was that Thors who carried that mantle, they were largely uneducated and because they did not pay attention to the supremacy of the world. There was a mix of experiences, both God or then experiences and experiences that came from familiar spirity. They combined everything and called it God experiences. So you find a man manifest as a Christian today and then manifest like you know, some hybat person tomorrow, and all of them are executing what they saw. The realm of the spirit is a complicated realm just because you saw. That's not meanings of God. The word of God is the reference that purifies all experiences. Who is learning? Now? So here we have, by the attack of Satan over the church, we have an exaggery and over dependence on visions and dreams. I can tell you this. There are many people today who got into trouble because they had a vision that says to do what them into trouble. They honor the vision without honor to the world who is learning. There are preachers today whose lives entirely revolved around trances and visions. And you find out that they score well today because they see correctly, and then when they delve into erronious visions, because Satan can appear as an angel of light forever. Oh God, not visions, not transs. Your world is settled. If someone learning, I'm showing you that all these problems to see in the body of Christ was planted by Satan. Wild men slept. Now the flip side to this is over intellectualizing spiritual things with no allowance for the prophetic, almost balance that. There are people on the flip side in an attempt to balance visions and transits and supernatural experiences. They hate everything prophetic, They hate everything visions, they hate every once it is not one plus one once it is higher than science and higher than brain work. They fight it. Those people remain grounded, someone can tell them I see an attack on your life, and they despise prophet signs and die by the next day. Such a man was the man who the king leaned on in Samaria. In Laisha came and said by this time tomorrow. And the man said, don't bring this your nonsense prophetic things. And the prophet said, not everybody is fake. Because you have despised you will see it what you will not eat of it? Can I tell you this within the limit of balance, the prophetic and supernatural experiences is a bailout system. In one moment, your life can be delivered of a miriad of troubles. Take it from me, who is learning. I'm a product of prophecy. I'm a product of prophecy. Sound of revival you see is a product of prophecy. However, the way to engage the realm of the spirit properly is that the Word of God must be exalted at both every other vision, every other experience. You have heard me say, it is written is greater than I saw. It is written, is greater than I heard. Meaning if you see something negative about me, even if you are correct, I can use it is written and override it. So the prophetic should not scare me if it is negative and it interrupts what the world of God says should be, I take the written word and over write any vision whatsoever. Who believes that, if you're learning tonight, say amen, let me tell you this. Many believers are in a maze of confusion as to which of these various thought lines these belief systems were brace, because all of them are marketed from preachers and by preachers, and all of them supposedly have their proof. The man who does not pray claims to have this proof. The man who prays only claims to have his proof. The man who prophesies only claims to have his proof, the man who uses brain work only claims to have his proof. Who is learning now? And so, in the midst of supposed evidences, most believers are in limbo. They don't know who to believe, they don't know what to believe. And some of those people I'm talking about are you right here and looking at me? Because today you love the prophetic. When you see something in you want to reach out. But then your educated self justice forget that nonsense. You see that. Now behold the glory here the Lord behove, Oh, the glory of the Lord. Something is happening to you tonight. Behold the glory, the law behoved, the glory, hallelujah. Now hold on. Let me give you the last belief system that comes as an attack. This is by no means all of it. I just picked out a few to show you the confusion when Satan attacks the church. These are the kinds of things we see. The last confusion or the last attack is the church dissociating itself from matters of economy, matters of government, and matters of policies. It has been one of the greatest unbecoming of the church in the twenty first century. We claim it does not matter what decides what's concerning us. And today we have become victims away together because when there is nobody defending the interests of the church, in parliament, defending the interest of God in high places. There are times you can be Joseph. You don't have access to Pharaoh. You need somebody already in the palace to talk to Pharaoh about you. The many economic issues that the Church dissociated herself from were paying the price today, many people who had opportunity to be in the place of power, but we frown that politics, calling it a debt again. And when on believers decide your destiny, they can lock up your church overnight because they have no respect for your convictions. One time I told you, apostle, do not be afraid. I have many people in that city. Your advantage is number many who are obedience to the faith. I promise myself, as a man of God, that I will never raise the people who are only spiritually vibrant. I will raise the people who are influential, who will occupy the strategic positions and can defend the interests of God. And let me speak over someone already made that grace that illocate you to the place of influence, so that you can preserve the program of God. I pray from my heart made that grace rest upon you. Alleluia. Police be seated. You have heard me teach, and let me say this as an attempt to wrap up. Now, there was a man called Joseph of Arimathea in the Bible. That was the man who used his influence to receive the body of Jesus. No one else had your dacity and the relationship to talk to Herold to release the body of Jesus. Jesus would have died on the cross there you never would have been able to say, oh, grave, where is your victory? Or death, where is your sting? He had to be buried in a virgin tom But someone of means, with capacity had to use his influence to speak for power. I'm praying that God will raise people from the Church who have the where without economic where without political wherewiou are we together who can stand darkness, not by fighting it fanatically, but by agreeing as a majority to pass a policy that defends the next fifty years of the church. You believe that? Shout amen. Let me tell you, ladies and gentlemen, if the Church refuses to engage herself in matters of state and nation building, there will rise and not that pharaoh who does not understand the covenant that birth Joseph, and there will turn people who came to find food to become slaves. Allelujah. I have seen the benefits of being apostolic. I have Our next teacher would be on Apostolic Christianity. I want to show you what it means to be an Apostolic Christian is beyond I receive, is beyond give me. It comes with an orientation that produces a weakness. Are we together prays the name of the Lord? So Satan fights the church. Let me give you the last key, a sense of stronger nointing about to fall in this place. Let me tell you what Satan does. He infiltrates the various institutions. This is the third way he attacks the program of God. He infilstrates the various institutions that make up society with an anti christ value system for instance, family for instance, education for instance, government for instance, economy. You know what he does. He infiltrates these institutions with compromise value systems, so that those value systems do corrupt, those Satanic become protected, defended, and difficult to contest with. That's how he destroys the move of God. If you think Satan is going to come to a crusette ground and fight the program of God. You are mistaken. He does not fight the program of God on cusde grounds. Satan is wise enough to know that a cruset ground can ignite the move of God. What a crusete ground does not protect the move of God. What protects the move of God is the ability to be apostolic in your kingdom. Understanding, we together and put the structures that protect and preserve them the program of God. Show me a territory whose priesthood is strong, Show me a territory whose church is united, Show me a territory with a strong spiritual afford. No matter what said and does, the move of God will not die. So, if you've been asking how the fire of God that was set up by John Knox, set up by all of these men, how we died, this is the formula. There was an attack on the consecration of priests. There was an attack on the message that the message you started with. Because of economic issues, or because of ego or carelessness, you're no longer able to preach the purity of that message of the Gospel. Did you know? It's surprising right now, and with all due respect, that in many secles, you don't hear another call a gain, even on crusett grounds. A crusade ground becomes like a business seminar. And after it, the man of God called Joshua Selman, after preaching it, says, well, now that you have heard me, I hope that what you are, how you do something about it? Why did you come there? A cru said, it's not a workshop. The singular assignment is a harvest of souls. But you see, when Satan has corrupted your own passion, you will lose the passion for souls. So you cannot transfer that passion to bring the loss although you are still in ministry. When we love to raise money more than we love to win souls, when we love to have reputations more than we love to hide behind the cross, and see Jesus revealed, these are some of the things that will corrupt the move of God. Ladies and gentlemen, hear me. I have revealed to you tonight the strategy of Satan. And it is happening again. I see it happening in Nigeria. Sadly, I see it happening in many parts of Africa. I see it happening across I see a battle over priesthood. Satan is fighting the spiritual voices, fighting their consecration and fighting balance. I say set and fighting the church, selling divisions, believing we are doing God's service, creating an auto immune condition where we become the reasons for the pain of one another and we rejoice over it, selling all kinds of mindsets in balance, corrupted value systems, swinging to one side of the pendulum. Look at me. Do you know why there is widespread in balance in the church. I will tell you why. Because we have refused to listen to one another. Our pride has educated us into believing that we know God alone and so another as someone that should balance your understanding, you have rejected it with the detriment of your growth. And as the shepherd, so goes the membership. So if I teach on consecration and power and miracles, but my people are broke and hungry, there is another vessel within the body, raised by God to teach economic empower men the right way. If I ignore that person, my members would be punished financially, because there will be a replica of my pride, a replica of my limitations. Flip to the other side. God raises a man to be excellent and administrator, but it does not have the grace to call people to prayer and consecration. Now, if I do not open up my hand to receive the supply that comes from that grace, that strain that man of God, that ministry, you know what happens. I will raise business more goals great people who are taught tally Antichrist in their belief system. Every membership reflects the humility or the pride of the vessel that leads them. If the man of God is open attack to embrace the whole counsel of God, that's humidity. That disposition becomes a blessing to the people he's raising. No matter how I sing, I don't have the grace to lead worship like person Nathaniel. It is not a suggestion God raised him. He didn't raise him to hold a trumpet. He raised him as a trumpet. Are we together now? And so when PERSONA is ministry, I don't see that was the host. No, I don't fool myself waiting for my tongue to preach. My heart is opening. I open, and I'm receiving from a vessel anointed by God. Or then by God. You watch him sitting while I'm preaching, and you think it's not the person or not. You know, it is the wisdom that preserves the move of God. There are many pastors here who have left your shadows, left a lot of things, not to come and preach. They didn't. They just come to honor me. They came to receive. You think they're not anointed. You look at the works they are doing. There are many thousands of ministers connecting right now, great servants of God, doing great things. But they know that there is more. When we learn to respect the investment of the spirit across the body, this autoimmune condition will stop leave society. Society does not have the power to fight God. There is an autoimmune problem within the church that needs to be solved, that mutual respect for the graces that are being invested. I came with a number of our leaders here from a buja. If they are leading prayer or they're leading whatever, I don't stand here and said I'm a man of God. These are my sons. No, they are ministering in the capacity of the grace of God upon your life. And even though you raise them, you humble yourself and receive a dimension of God committed to them who is learning tonight. You've heard me say it, and I will say it openly. If the whole world is calling on your alone, we're in trouble because there are dimensions not committed to me. It then means I will sell a sincere heart, but it will come with the limitation that will stop the body from growing holistically I were together. No matter how I love you, I can't teach you a marriage and relationship in a way that will bless you. I can't teach you and it would turn to a who said ground. You know, while I'm teaching, you will start shouting all night at nunting and I will cooperate to the Holy Spirit and sing and dance till you are there. You see that now. Now I'm not apologetic about it because it's not my colleague. So when I here, the one who has been called in that dimension with proof, you sit down and listen. You are a man of God, but respect the the area of grace that is outside of your jurisdiction. You see all these instrumentalists and this gentleman, every one of them, every single one of them, is functioning in the grace allotted upon them, and they are also contributing to the spiritual energy that you are receiving. If I ignore the investment of God upon their lives because of pride, I'm causing an auto immune problem. Don't forget what I taught you. Our pride, our prejudices is causing a spiritual auto immune problem where the body fights itself and Satan is having a field day while we rejoice in pride, believing we are the only ones doing what is needed to be done. No colnonia has come to Glasgow, not delivering the whole counsel of God has a contribution. When we are done, God will raised others to us who are there to to continue. Am I right on that? Allelujah? Praise the name of the Lord. I said it one time when I was back home. Imagine if I were vested with the responsibility of decorating the stage, what do you think will be here? A big Bible I will open to some one one night. That would be the decoration. I'll place it here to set your gaze on Jesus. But now you look the beauty that we experience here. That's because someone within the body is not causing an auto immune problem. How do you know there's an autoimmune problem within the body. No growth, no wholesome growth. I'm saying this because we are going to pray for the body of Christ. Let me wrap up so that we pray a stretch enough for tonight. Write this down and please listen. When Christ gets compromised or falls below God's standard, when priesthood gets compromised or falls below God's standard, when the Church fails to be the light, and when institutions embrace value systems and policies that fight the program of God, God's program suffers. I'll take it again, slowly. This will be my final thought, and then I'll speak over your life. When priesthood, i said, gets compromised or falls below God's standard, when the church fails to be the light, especially by creating an autoimmune problem, when institutions embrace value systems and policies that fight the program of God, then God's program, God's salvation program, God's revival fire program immediately or gradually dies. These ladies and gentlemen, is the mystery of spiritual decline, from the priest, to the church, to the institutions, and then the fire dies. Look at me again from the priest to the church, to the institutions. Then the fire dies. He finds the priest. If he prevails, he finds the church. If he prevails, he finds institutions. If he prevails, I don't care how powerful that revival started, it will die. What do you think therefore, is the key to sustaining revivals? Let me go ahead of myself. It means you have to master the systems that protect the consecration of the priests. Are we together? You have to understand how to keep the church healthy and strong, and buy influence, protect the programs and the policies that are sold to institutions. That's how you preserve the program of God. God is counting on us. John Knox has gone to be with the Lord. Many of the men and the women who were used by God in Scotland, across every other and every other region, they've gone to be with the Lord. There are a few of them who are old now, gray and old. They do not have the energy. Now the button has been passed to us. If all we do is to just jump in ignorance and say I'm a revivalist, revival will come, will follow the same pattern, and eventually we will walk sadly in our lifetime, the decline of faith, the decline of spirituality. But tonight I bring you a message. We will not sleep. It is while men slept that Satan came and fought priesthood. It is why men slept that Satan came and fought the church, planting a seed within the church, making her fight herself, and then fighting from the external. It is why men slept, not understanding the kingdom, not understanding the apostolic order of Christianity, that they left the various strata of human activities bankrupt of defenders of the faith, and Satan hijacked these institutions, and today his enacted policies that are punishing the church. One policy can stop programs from happening like this. Did you know that? So while we first, while we pray, while we build, we have to trust God for the strategies. And tomorrow morning and then the evening, the evening where went to have a time of prayer were wing to have is going to be a knight of worship, and extend that time of prayer and worship the prophetic. When you learn what you learn, you will be receiving the impartition that will take you to be a witness in the name of Jesus. I pray for you that the version of you that came for this conference is not the version that will return in the name of Jesus Christ. Can we arise and pray for five minutes. Please be upstanding, hold hands with someone if you can, let's connect by faith again. I'm going to ask person not to just play for one minute. He's just going to play whatever worship God puts in his heart. Listen, I'm soaked for one minute. There is an adversary. The Bible calls him the devil. There is a plot whilst the Church slept, slept through history, both ancient and modern, whilst the Church is sleeping right now, unknown to the church, Satan is sowing tears among wit but God, by his predeterminate counsel and by his wisdom, his ordained sound of revival UK twenty twenty five, to bring that clarion call, he says, I'll wake down that sleepest, and Christ will give you light. We're going to pray some prayers for a few minutes, and I'll allow person not just for a minute or two, to just allow the sound of the trumpets speak to your spirit. And when that happened, I'll lead you to a few prayers. Bless you for the night, and we're done. Yes, Sir shame Sam Brandy. Let that be your prayers. You listen to the trumpet ship brand. He escape as. I lift your voice. In one minute, I'd like you to begin to pray for men and women of God, missionaries, past us, apostles, teach us. Go ahead and begin to pray. Everyone online connected. Make sure you are praying. Pray for your pastor call him by name. Pray for the man of God here represented. Pray for Joshua Slman. Pray for person Nathaniel Passy, Pray for every man of God you know and love. Live your voice, and begin to pray. That God will protect the consecration of christood, that God will protect our devotion. That said and will not gain an entrance. Go ahead and pray that there'll being no sleep, There'll be no slover upon any man that appears the vessel of the Lord. Pray in the name of Jesus for those who are fallen. Pray in the name of Jesus for those who are this poage that God will grant them grace, that they will rise over again as reservers of God's problem, are you pray? Pray for the masters in Glasgow, for the mascors in Scotland, the missionaries. Every one who serves and does the work of the ministry. You're sending prayer. More head of prayer, Lords out, lords after, Let your messages remain God, Let your messages remain your over their eyes to the other tiations they have not seen all they do not know. To the one that does not. Undertand prayers for the start prayer to. The one who the friends of ramlation know. When your eyes access comination, who the worldhood does. Not understand excellence with their eyes when wars excellency to the world who does not understand influence, open their eyes. An sets influence. Let the Christ be strong. Let your bristo excited that man love Jesus and suning with utanity. What takes me after, Well, it's like our churches by an as the church where for the PRIs nomination is no man show them by day in the name of Jesus, got in you of them where the church winds the church in the name of Jesus, that we can't disagree in love, we. Can't complete like as a completion and still. Is that love is your spirit of heat in the church, banish ills, freakingness what you kids, and that's another man, is your spirit of fly saying kill me, let it be fun. Of church ship happens your come on, going on your prey, that believers f love themselves. Brave godless your detriss, that believers look for refe another and allow one another. Or tell me come into the schoolness of the natural about the nature of price shame I got, come back, come back, that's quite like a can transfect them. Start out for the church in Glasstom, that you come a night with you in Jesus. Here we pray, Please don't be tired us your pray. Whether I say white church, whether I say black church, that all of these limitations that divide us, that God will hear it, like the curtain was told from talk to bottom. Who is agreeing with me, regardless of the denomination. Now the truth is that listen, listen. The truth is that we may disagree just defiably. So there are churches and individuals who need to upgrade your understanding. There are churches and individuals whose lifestyles are questionable. When I talk about the unity of the church. I don't talk about embracing everything. Please do not get me wrong. There are people whose values, teachings, and lifestyle truly demand loving them from a distance because they have not demonstrated consecration, They have not demonstrated a willingness to love Jesus. Don't confuse what I'm saying. There are people I love sincerely, but I love from afar. They cannot be my friends. I don't hate them, but we do not share the same values. Are we together now? So the message is not a message of universalism to embrace just any body and anything. What I'm saying, regardless the differences, is too small a reason to hate. Hate is not God's strategy. It is not part of God's assent. Now. When a church, a denomination has a problem, the Bible says, after we heard this, we cease not to pray. That is the biblical response. Are we together that when you hear that a man of God, a church is going through crisis, you don't rejoice and say, after all, they don't have lights. No, you pray. That is the character of a believer. That autoimmune problem can be beginning from here. Are we together now? You don't rejoice over the downfall of another denomination another man. I have friends and people, some Catholics. There are people following the Catholics, Presbyterian, Anglican, Pentecostals. It doesn't matter provided we stand behind the cross lifting of the name of Jesus. We don't need to agree in everything to be one. We just need to agree that Christ is above us. Are we together now? Are you ready to pray one final time before I speak over your life? Pray over the institutions in Glasgow, family education, finances and saying the name of Jesus, we declare an evation of King. Don't mind that our Postolic believers into these systems. The churche will rise in influence. We will not just be priests, we will also be kings. Open your mount and praying one minute everyone prayed shabaaaaaata. The government will not in any policies that finds the program of God the family set it in Glasgow, in Scotland, in the UK will not have at antichrist value systems have found that value systems the scientists of marriage to be restored, the scientige of parents who to be restored. We reser the educational institutions. They will not sell an idea that produces, and people who hate God. Pray for the business world. It will not just be filled with men and women who are compromised with millonnaires, compromise pillonneiers, but that God will find himself a people concentrated, blessed, holy to certain part. Wise no intends Allelujah. Listen to me, ladies and gentlemen. The Bible declares that there is no owner name under Heaven given onto men by which we must be saying. Let me have the attention of everyone here, and that includes those who are following online. The greatest way to sleep is not to die, is to reject Jesus. When you reject Jesu, thouse you are in a state of slumber with no hope of waking up. The man who dies in Christ only slept for a while. He will be resurrected. But the man without Christ, even though alive, the Bible says, he is dead already. John chapter three and verse sixteen says for God soul of the world, that he gave his one and only begotten son, that whosoever believed on him should not perish, but have life everlasting. But seventeen says for God did not send his son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world, through him might believe. We're speaking about finding the flames of revival, stopping men from the spiritual slumber that gives sat And access to destroy individuals, lives, and families, Ladies and gentlemen, is started with this declaration of the lordship of Jesus. A generation that rejects Jesus, his love, his substitutionary sacrifice is the generation that will partner with Satan in a boughty quenching, destroying the move of God. The Lord called for this solemn assembly this first night, and scattered across these thousands of people are men and women in desperate need of salvation. What does it mean to be saved? To acknowledge the lordship of Jesus over your life, declaring him as Savior, as Lord and King, receiving of that free gift of his life that came through the substitutionary sacrifice of Jesus. Give me the honor tonight, Ladies and gentlemen, wherever you are, you are in this place, and whilst you help me teach the Spirit of God began to speak to you, perhaps orn knowing to you, you are being a contributor to destroy the move of God, the program of God. The reason is because within your destiny is a great man and woman of God, a great vessel. But it cannot happen when you are outside of Let me all show you today into this new experience. We call it the new birth. We call it salvation, where you are saved by declaring the logic of Jesus over your life. I'm going to count one to five for sake of time. There are thousands of people, and I believe hundreds ready to make this decision, and then thousands of others by way of Internet and television. As I count one to five, if you've been convicted by the Holy Spirit and losn Apostle, give me a chance to make it right tonight. As PERSONA leads us through this song, someone's knocking at your door. I pray that you don't allow him to keep knocking. I count one to five. I want to see the first few people bold, strong, courageous to say I want to make it right with Jesus tonight. Make your way to the front. As I begin my accounting, someone is running. God bless you someone is running to Jesus, I begin my accounting. Now what two come on, colling on your let's celebrate that. There's the harvest of souls. Cops, once come to Jesus. God, bless you, God bless you. Keep clapping as a cop, Keep clapping as a cop, keep clapping as a coffee. God is finding an army of men and women tonight. A brother who is on a shave, the sister who is on the shame, a general in the making, a kingdom financier in the making. Makes your way to Jesus. No. Two, he's been from so three. Keep coming. Don't say I'm too far. We lost seeds from the father's house. Get your way to the front. Jeee Esus, geez us, jeez. Jesus, it's at the door. If someone is winning that war finally tonight, allelujah, my goodness, are you celebrating a harvest of souls already tonight? This is on to Jesus. This is on to Jesus. Hallelujah. Ladies and gentlemen, please look at me, and I want to listen to me someday. This is not my first time saying it, but I'll say it again. Someday we will stand before Jesus, not in a conference like this, and then we'll see every single one of these persons, and some of them will look and say thank you personal, thank you Apostle for preaching every look, warmness, every laxity out of my life and giving me an opportunity to love Jesus. My brothers and my sisters, please look at me. I salute and congratulate every one of you for the boldness, the boldness, the boldness to make this decision. Some of you are crying. Don't be ashamed of your tears. The Bible says, as many who will come to him, he will in no why it's cast away. Let me request that you live for me your right hand. Let it be high above your head, and then say this after me, as loud and as clear as you can. Realize that you're speaking to Jesus. You're Jesus, the one who died for you. Say this as loud as you can, say Lord Jesus again, like you understand what I said. Say Lord Jesus, tonight I have heard your word. I love you with all my heart. I believe that you are the son of God. I believe that you die for my sin. Right now, I receive Jesus into my heart as my savior, my Lord, and my King. I declare that the power of Saint Satan, Hell and the grave is broken over my life. From tonight I'm a child of God. I declare that I go from glory to glory and grace to grace. Amen, keep your beautiful hands. I'm praying for you now, Father, thank you for these ones. The Bible declares that as many who will come to you, you will know whi it has cast away. These ones have come declaring your lordship over their lives. I pray that the grace that keeps may that grace keep them even to the very end.
