-
designed to uplift and strengthen you in your
-
walk with God. Don't miss out. Stay with us until
-
the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive
-
right in. Acts chapter 2 verse 45. Let's just
-
finish that please. Their possessions. Let's
-
just see 44. And all that believed were together
-
and had all things what? Common. And sold their
-
possessions and goods and parted them to all
-
men as every man had what? Had need. As every
-
man had. As every man had what? And he divided
-
to every man severally as he. wheels right so
-
we are reading here saying that and then they
-
parted it to every man as he has what need also
-
who determine what comes to him let me reduce
-
this who determine what comes to him talk to
-
me everybody talk to me talk to me talk to me
-
thank you for that And they sold their possessions.
-
Let me reduce this to, it's too loud. And they
-
sold their possessions and goods and parted them
-
to all men as every man had need. So, who determines
-
what comes to him? And who determines the quantity
-
of what comes? Huh? Is it the need? Who? And
-
the need, yes, half, half, 50 over 100. Or 80
-
of 100? Who determine? Huh? Is it the giver?
-
The giver does not know who needs what. Right?
-
Yes, so the giver does not know who needs what.
-
So I have, I just have, you have it, I have it.
-
Right? And then she has it, she's having needs.
-
All of us are having needs. But then a couple
-
of people around are the ones that have some
-
possessions and then they sold all their belongings.
-
When they come to share the things so that everybody
-
is fully furnished, right? Who will determine
-
what gets what? The receiver. Amen? Because now
-
if you come, you understand? Because if you come,
-
you ask me, what and what do I need? Right? And
-
I'll say, I need this, two bags of rice, one
-
turkey oil, one this because me and my three
-
children, right? We have not eaten for this.
-
This is what we need. You just give me what I
-
need. So I determine what I receive. Is it clear?
-
You meet another person, the person, so which
-
means our needs. Right? The supply to our needs
-
is determined, right, upon the person that is
-
receiving the supply. Do we understand? Do we
-
understand this place? So every man had need.
-
So every man will receive based upon his what?
-
His need. Is it clear, everybody? Is it clear?
-
Is there confusion? We just ate. So I want to
-
see some ATP. Right? Yes, some adenosine triphosphate.
-
Right? Yes. Except maybe you want me to bring
-
up a Usta in medical biochemistry to come and
-
tell us how many hours the breakdown will be,
-
to what area it will go, how it will affect our
-
mouth and our response. Glory to Jesus. Acts
-
verse 35. And laid them down at the what? At
-
the apostles' feet. Are we all there? Let's go
-
to 34. Help us go to 34. Let's read from verse
-
34 very fast. Neither was there anyone among
-
them that what? That lacked for as many As were
-
possessors of land or houses, did what? Sold
-
them. Right? And brought the prizes of things.
-
Right? 4 is Acts chapter 4. It's the same thing.
Acts 4 chapter mention
-
4 .34. It's almost the same event. And brought
-
the prizes of the things that were what? That
-
were sold. 35 now. And laid them at what? at
-
the apostles feet and distribution was made unto
-
every man according to the people that sold the
-
possession. Is that what he's saying? And distribution
-
was made according, is that what he's saying?
-
How is the distribution done? According to what?
-
As he had what? So who determines what is received
-
during distribution? The man that has what? That
-
has need. Do you know why? Because the receiver,
-
the giver, has already sold the possession and
-
has given. He has given all. So he is no longer
-
in charge of what goes to who. Do you understand?
-
Is that clear enough? So the giver has sold his
-
land, has sold his possession. He is no more
-
concerned about who gets what. Who gets what
-
is determined on who has need of what. Do we
-
understand? Do we understand everybody? Perfect.
-
So now, John 6, 11. So we understand the two
-
references we've had now so far, right? Do we
-
understand? It was divided to every man as he
-
had had need. Right? Because we have a receiver
-
and a what? And a giver. So, the function of
-
the giver is to give unconditionally. He is not
-
in charge also of what? Determining what you
-
what? What you receive. The receiver determines
-
what he gets. You are the one. Glory to Jesus.
-
Good. So, John chapter 6, everybody. Because
John 6 chapter mention
-
that's the last part of this part. John 6, 11.
-
John 6, 11. Good. And Jesus took the loaves,
-
and when he had given thanks, he did what? He
-
distributed to the disciples, and the disciples
-
to them that were what? Were set down. And likewise
-
of the fishes, as much as they what? They wooed.
-
Okay, take it back, sir. ESV. Jesus then took
-
the loaves and when he had given thanks, he distributed
-
to those that were what? As much as they who
-
wanted it. Is it the disciples that wanted it
-
or the people that are receiving from the distribution?
-
Because already the loaves and the fishes are
-
already made available. Glory to Jesus. Is it
-
clear? Is it clear everybody? Is it clear, everybody?
-
That is the man that is receiving the determines
-
and not the giver because the giver has already
-
what? Has already given. Amen? So, having said
-
that now, everybody, let's go to 1 Corinthians
-
12. 1 Corinthians 12. Everybody, let's go back
-
there. Verse 11 now. But all this, what does
-
he mean by all this? The ones that we mentioned
-
before, earlier, right? Word of knowledge, word
-
of wisdom, right? Working of miracles, gift of
-
faith, tongues, interpretation of tongues, from
-
8 to 10, all this. Right? Work it. We take the
-
word work it. Energeo. Right? Something that
-
is effective. Something that is working, active.
-
Right? Energema. Right? That's true what? One
-
and self, same what? So, same spirit, the Holy
-
Ghost. Right? Working all this. Glory to Jesus.
-
How is he doing it? He said, He is dividing.
-
We check dividing, right? We check dividing.
-
Yes or no? Yes or true? Yes, it's there. We check
-
dividing. To every man severally as what? As
-
he will. Amplify. Say all these things, the gifts
-
are brought about by one and the same what? Holy
-
Spirit. Distributing to each one individually
-
as he what? As he wills. So who wills. During
-
the distribution. Who wills now. Please. Next.
-
I will have said no lunch tomorrow. Maybe that
-
will now make us more active. You know they say.
-
Where hunger makes you active. You will just
-
be restless. Who wills. During the distribution.
-
The receiver. Why? Because the giver has already
-
given unconditionally. What did we say about
-
that giving unconditionally? Check your notes.
-
Without condition. Didomai. He has already given
-
without condition. What has he given? He has
-
given an ability, a charisma. And he didn't give
-
some, he didn't give two, he didn't give three.
-
The scripture says he gave us all. And because
-
he has given all, he expects that the believer
-
has received all. The believer has lambano, how
-
many? All. So he that wills, when it comes to
-
the things of the spirit, his willing is to the
-
end that he receives what? All and not a few.
-
Glory to Jesus. When I come and tell you, I have
-
this, this, this, this, this, this and that and
-
all I am giving you. Right? You have a will to
-
choose whether you are taking two out of it.
-
Amen? Or you are taking how many? You want to
-
take all of it and maximize it. So now, when
-
you only see the manifestation of prophecy, prophecy,
-
prophecy, catatismus one, prophecy. Two, prophecy.
-
Three, prophecy. Four, prophecy. Five, prophecy.
-
Six, prophecy. They say, what of knowledge? Ah,
-
we have not yet got there. What of wisdom? Ah,
-
we are yet there, yet there. He said, what kind
-
of miracles? Ah, leave it for Brocris. Ah, you
-
know. Ah, by giving of faith. Ah, Pastor TK.
-
Ah, that one there, he finished giving of faith.
-
The challenge, is it with the Holy Ghost or with
-
you, the receiver? The receiver. Another thing
-
I will say is, and that is why the believer,
-
if you write this, write this always. See, I
-
am learning this thing also that I am about to
-
say. That is why the believer always ought to
-
will to see all the manifestation of the gifts
-
of the Holy Ghost. The believer ought to always
-
what? Will to see all the manifestation of the
-
gifts of what? Of the Holy Ghost. Don't be cold
-
on it. Don't be cold on it. Don't be cold on
-
it. Don't be cold on it. Don't be cold on it.
-
Don't be cold on it. Your desire ought to be
-
fervent. Your desire ought to be at the edge.
-
Your desire ought to be on fire. Always to see
-
all the manifestation of what? Of the gifts of
-
the Holy Ghost. desire to see more tongues and
-
interpretation of tongues. More tongues. More
-
tongues. More tongues. More tongues. More tongues.
-
More tongues. More tongues. More tongues. Desire
-
to see more word of knowledge. More word of knowledge.
-
More word of knowledge. Remember I say, it's
-
given to every believer to profit what? To profit
-
with all. Desire that you're going to bring more
-
advantage. More. More. More. More. More word
-
of wisdom. More word of wisdom. We get into a
-
place, you know, When you hear too many things
-
and then you stay on them, they affect your faith
-
in seeing signs and wonders. They'll say, oh,
-
you know, actually, walking of miracles is only,
-
you know, special for some selected few. Now
-
what? What condition did they meet? Okay, let
-
me say it this way. If they've made a condition
-
and then they have happened to be the selected
-
few, you're also the believer. Meet the condition.
-
However, there is no condition for any selected
-
few. Hallelujah. We read it in John 14. That
-
in my Father's house, right, are many what? Are
-
many mansions. And I go to prepare what? A place
-
for you. That where also, when I go to my Father,
-
I will also come back unto you, right? And I
-
will receive you to myself. And where I am, that's
-
where you will be. Whatever. Let me ask us a
-
question. Do you think Jesus enjoyed all the
-
gifts of the Holy Ghost? Have you seen... Now,
-
aside tongues, I need a preacher of tongues.
-
Right? Because that's another discussion for
-
another day. Have you seen healing in Jesus'
-
ministry? How about word of knowledge? Word of
-
wisdom? Have you seen walking of miracles? Gifts
-
of faith. So if Jesus is standing there and you
-
are standing with him, what does he mean? You
-
have few or all? You have all. Because where
-
he is standing, that is where you are also what?
-
Standing. And he said, the works that I do, you
-
will also what? Do it. You will do it. I just
-
got a word now from somebody. Be bold. Be bold
-
by the Spirit of the Lord and get into places
-
and manifest all the gifts of the Holy Ghost.
-
You are not too small for it. You are not. I
-
desire to see miracles upon miracles. I'm trying
-
to remember the name. Somebody gave a story of...
-
Is it Robert Shula or something? Or Shambach?
-
One of them. He said, in his crusades, he went
-
and bought 1 ,000 wheelchairs. Not to fake miracles.
-
Sick people that cannot come to his meeting.
-
He gave free 1 ,000 wheelchairs. They should
-
bring them from different locations to come for
-
the meeting. So that they will receive what?
-
The healing power of the Holy Ghost. That desire
-
is to the roof. Have you ever watched and seen
-
healings and the hairs on your body rise? Tears
-
start flowing in your eyes? I watched a documentary
-
of A .A. Allen. The leg was like this. They brought
-
the guy, he cannot move. He didn't think it.
-
He did not think it. You know, I saw that. I
-
saw every faculty inside me rose. The guy said
-
he has not eaten for several weeks. He said,
-
is there anybody that has bread or snack or something
-
or drink? They said, you're going to eat today.
-
You're going to eat today. Lay that on him. The
-
guy finished the thing and finished the drink
-
and wanted more. If I was in that place. You
-
know, let me say something so that some people
-
can get stirred up. I'm in that atmosphere. You
-
know, they are holding another crusade somewhere.
-
Me, in my small area, I'll be looking for sick
-
people. Let me reduce the work for man of God.
-
Yes. Because it's happening there and I'm seeing
-
it. I'm seeing such manifestation. And the scripture
-
says it's for every believer. So which means
-
I'm not exempted. I'm not. That's what's happening.
-
That's what's happening. Hallelujah. So we are
-
not limited. We live here to our rooms. I said
-
a testimony here. We've been praying for someone
-
that had issue with the brain. You know, we spoke
-
of a recent. When the thing happened, even communication
-
called. Now his communication is clear. Memory
-
is coming back fully. What we are trusting God
-
for is that now, let writing come back fully.
-
You see, with healing, there are some that you're
-
going to see it happen instantly. There are some
-
you're going to see, One percent. Forget it.
-
It has started. Hallelujah. You know, we can
-
be in a meeting like this, pray for somebody
-
that is sick, and the person that will still
-
wheel the person out of this place, and tomorrow
-
morning you will see him back on his feet. I
-
will tell you, when I was a parking lot, I said,
-
if you allow me, I will stand up. And then the
-
person just stood up, and that's all. Manifestation
-
of the Holy Ghost. What am I saying in essence?
-
Will, will, will to see. Tongues and interpretation
-
of tongues. Will to see. Desire. That word there
-
is desire to see. That's what Paul is saying
-
to them. Glory to Jesus. Desire to what? To see.
-
Desire to see. So now. Are we all here now? So
-
far so good. Are we on the same page? So far
-
so good. Are we on the same page? Who has all
-
the gifts? Who has all of them? Do you need to
-
do 16 hours encounter to see them? Do we need
-
to fast 365 on quarter days to see them? When
-
do we need to see them? Imagine The disciples
-
came to beautiful gates, right? And then the
-
man was there. And then they look at him. And
-
then he say, silver and gold we do not have,
-
but give us 30 minutes back. And then they came,
-
enter into, because they were going at the hour
-
of prayer, you know? And they imagine and they
-
say, ah, we have not prayed too much this morning,
-
you know? Morning devotion, no day. You know,
-
last, yesterday, even the VG, we were sleeping
-
all through. So, to just quickly, Let's enter
-
and finish the hour of prayer, right? I just
-
got a word now for somebody. When you are encountered
-
with situations where the manifestation of the
-
gifts of the Holy Ghost need to be made manifest
-
through you, don't doubt it. Don't give conditions
-
for it. Because the more you give conditions
-
for it, the more you don't see them because unbelief
-
will come in. Imagine now they now run inside
-
at the hour of prayers because they want to sanctify
-
their power. Let me use that word. Right? And
-
then, you know, maybe that day, normally maybe
-
during the hour of prayer, they are just, they
-
are disciples now. They are apostles. They've
-
been with Jesus. They say, we've been with him.
-
We've seen him. So maybe let's assume they just
-
enter inside and then the person that will lead
-
prayers will just lead and then they will just
-
go out as just normal men. But that day, because
-
they want to sanctify the event that is outside,
-
they say, thanks. That day. Because the picture
-
that will be before them is the man at what?
-
Because when they come out, the man will ask
-
them, how far? Right? Silver and gold they have
-
not given him. They say they have something to
-
give him. So they went inside to get the thing
-
they have. They sweat. And then they come now.
-
They say, rise up and walk. The guy does not
-
walk. Rise up and walk. They drag him up. He
-
runs back. Let me say this. This is what Satan,
-
will do to the mind of believer whenever he thinks
-
it's his works that will make for the manifestation
-
of the gifts of the Holy Ghost. He will ensure
-
that whenever there is opportunity for you to
-
see the power of God in manifestation, to see
-
and hear, right? He will bring unbelief and condemn
-
you and begin to make you feel you are not fit
-
enough. To see this thing happen. There is somebody
-
that is sick for you to lay hands. He will make
-
you feel you have not prayed enough. You have
-
not fasted enough. You told a lie yesterday.
-
In fact, you are the worst of people to experience
-
this power. I bring good news to you. I bring
-
good news to you. That the spirit of God dwells
-
in you. In fact, let me tell you. You can eat
-
a bowl of food. And then heal the sick. I'm telling
-
you the truth. And that's why I'm saying let
-
your desire be on the edge. Glory to Jesus. Let
-
your desire what? Because the word I'm getting
-
is that because God is not only preparing you
-
for this place. God is preparing you for your
-
family. I see a couple of us. God is preparing
-
us and building us for what? For our family.
-
Through you, salvation will come to that home.
-
Through you, stability will come to that family.
-
Through you, all the members of your family will
-
get saved. Through you, you will see commitment
-
and consistency to the things of Jesus. Glory
-
to Jesus. So your desire must be on the edge.
-
Lambano on it. Take hold of it and maximize everything.
-
Everything. Is yours in Christ Jesus. So. Let's
-
rush over. Autoran's gifts. Autoran's gifts.
-
We are just going to. Autoran's gifts. They are
-

-
what happens, I must constrain myself. We must
-
take hold of what we have had so far and pray
-

-

-
few cataclysms, I don't know, two or three cataclysms
-
that we had in Yarmdoun. Then I used to go to
-
school and come back because of the work and
-
summer school. But I came back. Some people will
-
do it like this. That they prayed and prayed
-
and prayed and prayed and prayed. They said,
-
please, can we sit? I said, no, no, no, no, no.
-
Stand, stand. They prayed and prayed and prayed
-
and prayed and prayed. After the meeting, they
-
themselves were not only feeling, definitely
-
their body felt it, but they were transformed.
-
I remember I came back as I got into the place.
-
Everybody was praying. Everybody was praying.

-
person? I see such a spirit. He's walking with
-
something. In fact, I perceive that he's walking
-

-
tongues are also signs to them that what? That
-
believe. So which means that when I see a believer,
-
one of the signs that I will know is common to
-
believers is that I will see them, they will
-
have what? They will manifest new tongues. Tongues,
-
right? Good. 1 Corinthians 14 .2 now. We say
-
for he that speaketh in an unknown tongue, speaketh
-
not unto men, but unto God. for no man understanding
-
him how be it in the spirit he speaketh what
-
mysteries the word tongue the word tongue means
-
glossa or lalia the word tongue right means what
-
glossa yes we have doctors here they will tell
-
you anatomical name right yeah the word tongue
-
means what glossa i'm just remembering my My
-
small anatomy knowledge. Right? Yes. Glossa means
-
what? Glossa means tongue or what? Or lalia.
-
Glossa, G -L -O -S -S -A. Lalia, L -A -L -E -A.
-
Which means language. Dialect. Right? Language.
-
Dialect. Used in speaking, in talking or uttering
-
words. So we now say, for he that speaketh in
-
an unknown tongue speaketh not unto what? Not
-
unto men. He that speaketh in a language. A supernatural
-
ability called tongue speaketh not unto men,
-
but unto who? But unto God. How be it in the
-
spirit he speaketh what? Mysteries. Acts chapter
-
2 verse 1. Everybody. Acts chapter 2 verse 1.
-
Acts chapter 2 verse 1. And when the day of Pentecost
-
was fully come, they were all with one accord
-
in one place, yes? And suddenly there came a
-
sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind,
-
and it filled the house where they were all what?
-
Sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven
-
tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon how
-
many of them? So which means all of them that
-
were inside the room had this experience. Amen?
-
There was none that was exempted. Glory to Jesus.
-
Good, next verse. Good, now to validate that.
-
For, and they were, how many? They were what?
-
All filled. Can you say we are all filled with
-
the Holy Ghost in this place? Can you say we
-
are all filled with all utterance in this place?
-
Can you say we are all filled? With signs in
-
this place. We are all filled with the gifts
-
of the Holy Ghost in this place. They were all
-
filled with the what? With the Holy Ghost. Began
-
to speak with other tongues as the Spirit gave
-
them what? Utterance. Verse 5. And there were
-
dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of
-
every nation under what? Under heaven. So what
-
can we see here? I don't want to go back now
-
to many things that we have done. They were filled
-
with the Holy Ghost. Amen? And they began to
-
speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them
-
what? Utterance. This is to validate where we
-
are coming from that is given to every man severally
-
as he what? As he will. Because these men now,
-
they acted on their will. The Spirit of God gave
-
them utterance. You see? He said, they spoke
-
as the Spirit gave them utterance. He giveth
-
severally to every man as he will. So, the issue
-
has never been with the giver. It has never been
-
with the Holy Ghost. The Holy Ghost gives and
-
gives again and gives again and gives again and
-
withholds at all. So, when I don't see it, it
-
does not mean the Holy Ghost is not giving. So,
-
Who spoke? Did the Holy Ghost give and still
-
got into them and then brought out utterance?
-
Who spoke? Who did the giving? So, if they spoke
-
and the Holy Ghost gave, it means that they received.
-
Amen? And because they have received, how we
-
knew or how we know that they have received is
-
that there was what? Utterance. Glory to Jesus.
-
Then now. And when they spoke, one of the things
-
that we will see in utterance is that you will
-
hear it. You know we say it's relating to what?
-
To speaking. And we say tongues means what? A
-
language or what? Dialect. That when you speak,
-
You know, it will be what? It will be heard.
-
So that means that in Acts chapter 2, when there
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
was utterance, people what? People heard them.
-
Verse 5 now. See verse 5. Okay, yes, verse 8.
-
Thank you. And how here we, how many men? Every
-
man in our own what? In our own tongue wherein
-
we were what? We were born. Go back to verse
-
7. And they were all amazed. and marvels saying
-
to one another, Behold, are not all these what?
-
Which speak what? Galilean? Yes, it. And how
-
hear we every man in our own tongue wherein we
-
were born? Nine. Persians, Medians, Elamites,
-
and dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea and
-
Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia, Phrygia, Pamphylia,
-
in Egypt, and in the party of Libya, and strangers
-
of Rome, Jews, and proselytes. How we hear them?
-
Amen. Verse 11. Cretans and Arabians. What were
-
they hearing them say? From that utterance. We
-
do hear them speak in our tongues. The what?
-
What were they speaking? In verse 1, 2 and 3.
-
The scripture says. He gave them utterance as
-
they speak. Right? But now we are hearing now.
-
In further verses. That what they were speaking,
-
they were declaring the what? The wonderful works
-
of who? Of God. Because the question is now,
-
even the hearers are wondering, how do we what?
-
Hear them. So they spoke in tongues, but we hear
-
them speak in our own language. Question will
-
be, does it mean that the tongues they were speaking
-
was our own language? Amen? No. Praise God. Hallelujah.
-
Hallelujah. Glory to Jesus. So mind you, the
-
audience that were in that atmosphere, you know,
-
we're what? We're Jews. Glory to Jesus. I'm trying
-
to rush this because we know this now. right
-
we are jews so when we start reading from verse
-
chapter 1 verse 12 right chapter 1 verse 12 you
-
see the scripture says that then return day unto
-
jerusalem from the mount called what olivet which
-
is from jerusalem a sabbath days what journey
-
pastor victor has taught us how to be able to
-
discover and check distance geographically amen
-
So, now we now see them returning back to what?
-
Jerusalem because of the feast that is ahead.
-
chapter 2 where everybody came for the feast.
-
Acts chapter 2, let's start reading from verse
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
5. And they that were dwelling at what? Jerusalem,
-
Jews, devout men out of what? Every nation under
-
heaven. Pentecost, which we know, the feast,
-
50, right? Yeah, so during the Pentecost, everyone
-
from every part, every Jew that is staying away
-
from home, and it's like a homecoming. Yeah,
-
that's the right word, right? It's a homecoming
-
what? Event. So everywhere you are, Jews that
-
have naturalized, Jews that are staying in Iskele,
-
Jews that are staying in Lefke, Jews that are
-
staying in Girne, everybody will do a homecoming
-
back to Lefkosha. Is that clear enough? So from
-
every part that they are staying around, from
-
every nation globally, every one of them, right?
-
They will come back to what? They will come back
-
to Lefkosha. Glory to Jesus. So why will they
-
come back to Lefkosha? They will come back to
-
Lefkosha because there is a feast. Amen? And
-
everybody is coming back to celebrate that feast.
-
During that event, then we have this event happening.
-
Amen? So now, why were they amazed? They are
-
amazed because they know these guys that are
-
speaking, they are also speaking what? They are
-
Jews. They are our brothers. Glory to Jesus.
-
However, see something now. Let's go to Acts
Acts 2 chapter mention
-
chapter 2, everybody, so that you can see something.
-
Are we all there? 12 now, verse 12. 2 .12. And
-
they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying
-
one another, right? No, no, verse 11, sorry.
-
Verse 11 now. Cretans and Arabians, we do hear
-
them speak in our tongue. The wonderful works
-
of what? Of God. Okay, let's do this so that
-
we bring a clarification to it. Let me not run
-
away from it. Eight now. And how we hear every
-
man in our own tongue? wherein we were what?
-
We were born. Right? When they say in our own
-
tongue, what does it mean? Which means they were
-
speaking what? We hear them speak what? What
-
is their language? What is their language? Come
-
on now, help me now. Okay, good. So, everybody
-
now, go to your notes now, see. And then 6 says,
-
when this was noised abroad, right? The multitude
-
came together and were confounded, because that
-
every man had them speaking his own what? Language.
-
7. And they were all amazed and marveled, saying
-
one unto another, Behold, are not all these which
-
speak what? Can you see the language? So are
-
they not all of them speak Galileans? Right?
-
8. And how we hear them speak? How we, every
-
man, hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein
-
we were? Born. Nine. Now, Parthians, Medes, Elamites,
-
dwellers in Mesopotamia and in Judea, mind you,
-
they say that wherein we were born. So there's
-
an identity of this group of people. Amen? Good.
-
So, Parthians and this group of people that are
-
saying wherein we were born, all of them have
-
same identity. Glory to Jesus. Amen? And then
-
now, verse 8. 9. Patians and Medes, Elamites
-
and dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judea, and
-
in Cappadocia, and Pontus, and what? Asia. It's
-
not telling us that these are different languages.
-
No. It's telling us that these same people with
-
same identity, with same tongue, are dwellers
-
in all these different regions. Amen? Good. Let's
-
keep reading down now. Phrygia, Pamphylia in
-
Egypt and in parts of Libya about Cyrene and
-
strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Cretes
-
and Arabians. We do hear them speak in our what?
-
In our what? So which means all these people
-
speak a common tongue. Are they not which we
-
hear them speak Galilean? They speak our own
-
language. They are our brothers. But what we
-
hear them declare, It's the wonderful works of
-
who? Of God. 12 now, everybody. And they were
-
all amidst and in doubt, saying one to another,
-
what meaneth what? This. 13. Others were mocking
-
and said, these men are full of what? Let me
-
read another version here. But others were laughing
-
and joking and ridiculing them, saying they are
-
full of sweet wine and are what? And are drunk.
-
If we hear that they are mocking at them and
-
saying that they are drunk, does it mean that
-
they were speaking intelligible words? No, they
-
will not be speaking words that are common English
-
language. Come on, let me say this. When I come
-
now and say, sir, you know, God is good to me.
-
God is good. God is this. I've been to declare
-
the wonderful works of God in English language.
-
Will you mock at me? You will not mock at me
-
because the words are what? Yes, are sensible.
-
But when I now come, right? I come in Atama language.
-
And then I began to speak. Everybody is waiting
-
for me to speak. I refuse to speak. And then
-
I begin to speak. And then I begin to speak.
-
And then suddenly you say, ah, Kostin is declaring
-
the wonderful works of God. The question would
-
be, how did you know that it's a wonderful work?
-
Do you know whether I'm negotiating now they
-
should sell you? But you see, because you don't
-
understand what I'm saying, it's easier for you
-
to do what? To mock at me. Sir, are you okay?
-
You start touching me. It means that what they
-
heard them, they were speaking, In 1, 2, 3. Cannot
-
be a common language. Because if it's a common
-
language that is sensible to them. There will
-
not be room for them to mock at them. Are we
-
all here? So. Now. They were hearing them. Speaking.
-
A gibberish tongue. What I'm saying gibberish
-
is that. They were speaking words that were not
-
what? That were not. Making sense to the mind.
-
Question now will be, then how did they come
-
by saying that these people now are speaking
-
the wonderful works of what? Of God. This is
-
where tongues and interpretation of tongues now
-
sets in. Hallelujah. What they had that they
-
made a conclusion that they were declaring the
-
wonderful works of God is that This man, mind
-
you, in Acts chapter 1, in 2, 1, 3, said that
Acts 1 chapter mention
-
they spoke in what? In tongues, as the Holy Ghost
-
gave them what? Did he say that they spoke in
-
Jewish? In Hebrew? In Galilean? No. Hallelujah.
-
They spoke in a supernatural language that is
-
not common to that society. However, the society
-
now will mock at them, yet at the same time,
-
say we hear them speak the wonderful works of
-
who? So a question should be running in your
-
mind. How is it that they will mock at them and
-
at the same time affirm that we can hear them
-
speak the wonderful works of God? So what was
-
happening there is that there is a tongue and
-
what? Interpretation of what? Of tongues. So
-
the events that came upon them, right, didn't
-
only brought tongue to them, didn't only bring
-
the experience of tongue to them, but also there
-
was an experience of what? Interpretation of
-
what? Of tongues. 1 Corinthians 14, everybody.
-
1 Corinthians 14. 12 minutes. 1 Corinthians 14.
-
Verse 2, everybody. Verse 2. Don't worry. We're
-
going to have a detailed, detailed precept upon
-
precept teaching on this. 2. For he that speaketh
-
in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto who? Not
-
unto men, but unto who? But unto who? When they
-
began speaking in tongues, were they speaking
-
to men? But how is it that men now say that we
-
hear them declare the wonderful works of God?
-
Amen? See now, now, continue. But unto God, for
-
no man, what? Understandeth him. No man will
-
understand him because no man cannot relate to
-
him. So the easiest thing is to mock at that
-
man. That is why till today, people mock at tongues.
-
They mock at it. Because it's not a language
-
for the man to understand. However, we are bringing
-
balance to him. How be it in the spirit, he speaketh
-
what? Mysteries. 1 Corinthians chapter 12. Do
1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention
-
we see that the Holy Ghost will manifest tongues
-
in the believer? So if the believer speaketh
-
tongues, right? Is he speaking it in the spirit
-
or is he speaking it out of the spirit? In the
-
spirit because that is a manifestation of the
-
gift of the spirit, right? Good. Perfect. Then
-
now three. But he that prophesied speaketh unto
-
men to what? Edification and exaltation and comfort.
-
Four now. Everybody see now. But he that speaketh
-
in an unknown tongue edified what? Himself. But
-
he that prophesied edified what? The church.
-
Five. Five now everybody. I would that ye all
-
speak with what? Do you think he was writing
-
to an unbelieving church? He was writing to a
-
what? To a believing church. And if he says,
-
I would that ye all. If he says, ye all, means
-
what? Come on now. When he says, ye all, means
-
what? Everyone. That everyone should participate
-
in the speaking of tongues. But rather, that
-
ye may what? Prophesied. For greater is he that
-
prophesied than he that speaketh with what? Tongues.
-
See now, everybody. Except he what? Everybody,
-
except he. So, where there is tongue and interpretation,
-
what we will see is that the church will receive
-
what? Edifying. Because when it comes to utterance
-
gift, tongues, it relates to what? Speaking.
-
Speaking in the spirit. In and through the spirit.
-
Now, it does not stop there. You remember we
-
said that he gave it to every man to profit what?
-
To profit with all. Right? So, which means that
-
that profit with all, if we carry it and put
-
it here, we can equate it to what? Edifying.
-
Because now, that profit that the man will bring,
-
that profit will be to edify. The church. So
-
every time there is tongue and interpretation
-
of tongue, what we see is what? Edification.
-
So you can write it this way, mathematics. Tongues
-
plus edification plus interpretation of tongues
-
is equal to what? Edification. And don't stop
-
there. Art again and equals to prophecy. Tongues
-
plus interpretation of tongues is equal to what?
-
Edification. And is equal to what? Prophecy.
-
So what is tongue now? Let me quickly rush this
-
now. I'm not going to my notes so that I can
-
rush this. Tongue is that what? The scripture
-
says in that verse too. How be it I don't speak
-
unto men, I speak unto who? Unto God. So at what
-
point do I speak unto men? When I begin to bring
-
what? Interpretation. Then she begins to say,
-
Glory! Edification comes. The same thing equates
-
with prophecy. He said, I would that ye, go back
-
to verse 3, verse 4. Verse 4. He that speaketh
-
and uttereth himself, but he that prophesied
-
what? Edified. Please, if it's your Bible, underline
-
the word. He that prophesied, edified the church.
-
Next verse now. Next verse, C. Next verse, from
-
B. For greater is he that prophesied than he
-
that speaketh with tongues, except he what? Interpret
-
that the church may receive what? So, the same
-
thing that we find when there is tongue and interpretation
-
of tongue and the church is edified, from verse
-
4 now, so also we see that prophecy brings. Why?
-
Because prophecy, right, is speaking for the
-
mind of God. Right? In a language that is common
-
to the understanding of man. Do you hear what
-
I just said now? I'm running, I'm running now.
-
Prophecy, right? Is speaking for the mind of
-
God. Right? In a language that is common to the
-
understanding of what? Of man. So which means
-
if I want to prophesy, or there's a manifestation
-
of the gift of the Spirit, Right? In prophecy,
-
I will not come to man of God and say, You know?
-
Okay, let me not go there. You know? And then
-
I go, Say amen. And then leave her. I've left
-
her in more confusion than I met her. But you
-
see, what prophecy will do is that prophecy will
-
come with English language that she understands.
-
If it's Igbo, if I understand Igbo very well,
-
she understands Igbo very well, I say, you know,
-
and then I begin to speak Igbo. When I finish
-
speaking Igbo, you know, when I finish, She'll
-
go, glory, glory, glory, glory. She'll say, ha,
-
God is speaking to me. You see, the same joy
-
that she did is the same with tongues. So when
-
we say pray in tongues and interpret the tongues,
-
let me say something now that just came to me.
-
When you come to interpret tongues, The interpretation
-
of tongues comes in the language that is common
-
to the receiver. Do you know what I just said
-
now? Interpretation of tongues comes in a language
-
that is what? Common to the receiver. If the
-
receiver understands Igbo, well, interpretation
-
should come to him in what? In Igbo. If he's
-
in Kinyarwanda, in Swahili, it should come to
-
him in what? Swahili. Because the end of it is
-
that the church may receive what? A defying.
-
Glory to Jesus. Hallelujah. Do you understand?
-
Is it clear enough? Is it clear enough, everybody?
-
Yes, so. So which means that in the next minutes
-
that we have ahead of us, we're going to have
-
tongues. We're going to have what? Interpretation
-
of tongues. And we're going to have what? Prophecy.
-
Right? So let me just add this for us so that
-
we can quickly add it regarding prophecy. Long
-
teachings. Write this now. Just add this as part
-
of the operations of prophecy, everybody. So,
-
in prophecy, how we will know the operation of
-
prophecy? Everybody can just write this down.
-
Right? Which can also happen with tongues and
-
what? Interpretation of tongues. Amen? By the
-
way, let me say this before I say this. That
-
all the manifestation of the gifts of the Spirit,
-
they are operations that will happen at the spur
-
of the moment. You don't need to plan them. They
-
are not pre -planned things. You go and plan
-
something. somewhere in their house. You know?
-
That's what fake prophets do. They will plan
-
it. You know? They will check, check, check,
-
check, check, check. Okay, they will know that
-
their name is Simon. They will know that their
-
name is this. They say, okay, Simon, when I call
-
you, right? Say, hey, oh, pa, pa, pa, pa, pa,
-
pa, pa, pa. When I say, eh, so, so, so, so, so,
-
in Zimbabwe or Tanzania, they say, yes, daddy,
-
yes, daddy, yes, daddy. That is not how the gifts
-
of the Holy Ghost work, oh. There is no prior
-
knowledge. Or prior information when the manifestation
-
is in operation. Amen? I needed to say that because
-
it's important. Because often when people see
-
this, they say it's already planned. How is it
-
that he knew that the person is from Tanzania
-
specifically? This church, can you see? You know
-
some people, they say, even in this end time,
-
even in this small church, they are still faking
-
prophecy and faking things. Let me not say what
-
I want to say. Add this now to prophecy. That
-
in prophecy, I've said that to you, it implies
-
to speak forth by the spirit or by the inspiration
-
of the spirit at the spur of the moment. To speak
-
forth by the spirit, by inspiration at the spur
-
of the moment. Right? The spur of the moment.
-
About things that will happen. About things that
-
will what? That will happen. About things that
-
will happen. Are we all there? Yeah, so we're
-
going to have lots of things that will happen,
-
instructions that will come to us, right? That
-
will happen, that God will bring to us in the
-
next hours that is coming upon us. Amen? Glory
-
to Jesus. Glory to Jesus. In revelational gifts,
-
word of knowledge, word of wisdom, and discerning
-
of spirits, right? What is word of knowledge?
-
Because we had this not long ago. Word of knowledge,
-
what's word of knowledge? Word of knowledge is
-
revision. This one is revision. I will not do
-
anything about it. Word of knowledge. Huh? Word
-
of knowledge. Not word of wisdom. Word of knowledge.
-
Past and present. Right? Yes. An event that is
-
happening now. Right? From the mind of God. Without
-
prior knowledge. No arrangements. You see, yesterday,
-
I didn't know anybody that had a symptom of hynea.
-
No prior knowledge. Yesterday, I didn't know
-
anybody that had a symptom that has to do with
-
obstructive whatever. Right? This morning, I
-
don't have any knowledge about who is Stephanie.
-
Amen? I don't have all this knowledge. But one
-
thing I know from the mind of God is that God
-
had already what? Attended to it. Amen. Word
-
of wisdom. Yes. So word of wisdom can come with
-
a condition or without condition. So often you
-
will hear, you know, there has been a struggle
-
in your heart regarding the instruction God has
-
given you, right? To start out a work of ministry.
-
However, this is the direction that the Lord
-
is bringing. He said that he will lead you to
-
this person, to this. Sometimes it will come
-
with specifics. to this person, to this person,
-
and you will know it by this and this and this.
-
You see? So, the person, no prior knowledge,
-
but yet God is revealing it and even giving more
-
direction on what to do. Glory to Jesus. Designing
-
of spirits, we've learned it. One of the last
-
things we did, right? Is what? Yes, to distinguish,
-
to see into the spirit realm. We say that there
-
are different spirits. We are not the ones there
-
alone. Amen? Yes. Pastor Emmanuel taught us on
-
power gifts. Gifts of healing. And what we learned
-
in gifts of healing, I don't want to go back
-
there. What we learned in gifts of healing, right?
-
Gifts of healing has to do with what? Physical
-
ailments, diseases. Right? That we see the power
-
of God bringing healing. Suddenly a body is sick
-
and then hands are laid and we see instant wholeness
-
come to the body. Glory to Jesus. Amen? Yes.
-
Now we say gifts of faith. Gifts of faith is
-
what? Ah, we need to do a thorough revision on
-
this. Detailed one. Gifts of faith. Huh? Hallelujah.
-
The gifts of the Spirit when in oppression is
-
that you can receive for me a miracle. Hallelujah.
-
You can give or receive for me a what? A miracle.
-
Working of miracles. Yes ma. When you suspend.
-
I must get something in this season. No. Yeah,
-
I have to get it. God is the best student in
-
this class. I must get it. On a serious note,
-
I will get it. No. She has imparted me in spiritual
-
and now with these answers, I will impart her
-
immaterialities. I will minister to her canalities.
-
Walking of miracles is the supernatural superimposing
-
over the natural. There is no wine in the feast.
-
And Jesus now brings what? Wine into what? The
-
feast. He said, go and borrow vessels, not a
-
few. Borrow, borrow, not a few. What do you have?
-
Borrow more vessels. From the little oil, now
-
we have all the vessels are filled with what?
-
Oil. Say, carry them, sell them. And do what?
-
And pay up the debt. Working of what? Miracles.
-
Working of miracles with healing. Organ is dead.
-
Kidney is gone. And then we lay hands there.
-
Amen. Kidney is gone. Oh, bad kidney. We lay
-
hands there and then a new kidney comes to the
-
person. The person goes to the hospital and the
-
doctors declare, when did you have a transplant?
-
Because you didn't hold it in this hospital.
-
As long as our record is stating you had your
-
last dialysis last two days. How is it that a
-
new kidney came? Working of miracles is that
-
the man comes blind into a conference like this.
-
And hands are laid. He receives healing and he
-
receives a new eye. Supernatural, superimposing
-
over the what? The natural. All these are working
-
by self -same what? Spirit. Unlimited supply
-
of the power of the Holy Ghost. So what I'm saying
-
in essence now, we're praying right now. What
-
I'm saying in essence is that the gifts of the
-
Holy Ghost, the manifestation of the gifts of
-
the Holy Ghost in the believer has no limits.
-
Do you hear what I just said? Has no what? Has
-
no limits. Get into cities. Get into houses.
-
Get into places. Get into nations with so much
-
boldness by the Spirit of the Lord and see a
-
greater manifestation of the power of the Holy
-
Ghost. Every day I wake up, I desire that soon
-
it will be seen, it will be heard. You know,
-
I will gather a crowd unnumbered. Crusades will
-
be held. Short meetings will be held. Where two
-
or three are gathered will be held. I keep telling
-
myself, whether it's two people, it will be with
-
the same intensity. Whether it's 2 ,000 people,
-
it will be with the same intensity. Whether it's
-
2 million people, it will still be what? The
-
same. Even if he's exploit and early know that
-
they say, sir, can you come and speak with them?
-
It will be with the same what? Intensity. The
-
expectation will not grow low. What I'm saying
-
is that the will to see more, the desire to see
-
more. Call that your dad that is sick. Call that
-
your mom that is sick. Call that your friend
-
that is sick. Lay hands, you will see healing.
-
Just yield more to the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit
-
will give you instruction for that your stubborn
-
friend. Through that instruction, that friend
-
will be saved and delivered. Can we pray in the
-
Holy Ghost everybody? We appreciate you being
