  1. Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.

  2. Make sure to stay with us till the end, where

  3. we'll share some great resources to deepen your

  4. faith. Now, let's dive into this week's sermon.

  5. 1 Corinthians chapter 12. 1 Corinthians chapter

    1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention 1 Corinthians 12 chapter mention

  6. 12 from verse 1. Please let's pay attention to

  7. the reading of the word. Now concerning spirituals,

  8. brethren, I will not have you ignorant. So concerning

  9. the things that pertain to the Holy Ghost, I

  10. will not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were

  11. Gentiles carried away unto these dumb idols,

  12. even as ye were led. So he was referring to about

  13. their past life before they got saved, right?

  14. He said, wherefore, I give you to understand

  15. that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth

  16. Jesus accursed. And we say Holy Ghost meetings

  17. are meetings where things are being spoken. The

  18. Spirit of God has been given to us, we said on

  19. Sunday, that we may become speaking spirits.

  20. Hallelujah. We may become speaking spirits. Last

  21. few meetings, we said that we have the Spirit

  22. of God dwelling in us. We are spiritual. And

  23. when we say we are spiritual, what we mean is

  24. that we have the Spirit of God dwelling in us.

  25. We have the Spirit of God dwelling in us. We

  26. read in Corinthians also that our body is the

  27. temple of the Holy Ghost, right? So it's a no

  28. man speaking by the Spirit of God. So a man will

  29. speak by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God

  30. will be dwelling in us, is dwelling in us, and

  31. then he speaks through us. The Spirit of God

  32. speaks through you. I need to emphasize that.

  33. The Spirit of God speaks through you. The Spirit

  34. of God speaks through you. He does not only dwell

  35. in your inside, but he also, what? Speaks through

  36. you. Hallelujah. And then he said, call it Jesus.

  37. No man can say that Jesus is Lord. You see another

  38. saying again, but by the Holy Ghost. Four. Now

  39. there are diversities of gifts, but the same

  40. Spirit. And there are differences of administrations,

  41. but the same Lord. And there are diversities

  42. of operations, but it is the same God who worketh

  43. all in all. Verse 7, everybody now. But the manifestation

  44. of the Spirit. That word manifestation there

  45. is phanerosis. From the root word pheno, right?

  46. Phanerosis, P -H -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -A. P -H

  47. -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -S is from the root word

  48. phaino, P -H -A -I -N -O. And what does it mean?

  49. It means to make something visible, to shed light

  50. on something, having an evidence to show for

  51. something. Something that meets the eye. That

  52. let the eye see it. Manifestation. Something

  53. that is seen. Is not hidden. So we have the spirit

  54. of God in us. But do you know brethren. That

  55. the spirit of God. Cannot be hidden in us. There

  56. are certain activities. Demonstrations. Operations

  57. of the spirit of God. In the believer. which

  58. we are going to continue reading now, that should

  59. not be hidden. It should meet the eye. When people

  60. come around you, they know that these things

  61. are visible. That's another word for pheno. Visible.

  62. Visible. Visible is not hidden. Shedding light

  63. on something. To appear, to be seen. Amen? He

  64. said, but the manifestation of the Spirit, can

  65. you see? He said that the manifestation of the

  66. Spirit, if we use that word there, the evidence

  67. of the Spirit, the visibility of the Spirit.

  68. So the things of the Spirit are visible in the

  69. believer. Hallelujah. This thing must stay with

  70. us because in coming weeks into Catatismus, these

  71. are some of the realities that we're going to

  72. walk inside. That the things of the spirit in

  73. the believer are what? Are visible. Hallelujah.

  74. They are visible. They are to be seen. They are

  75. not to be hidden. The prophetic is to be seen.

  76. Word of wisdom is to be seen. Word of knowledge

  77. is to be seen. Gift of healing is to be seen.

  78. Gift of faith is to be seen. Tongues is to be

  79. seen. Hallelujah. Interpretation of tongues is

  80. to be seen. Designing of spirit is to be seen.

  81. Evidence. You know. He says, giving to every

  82. man to do what? To profit all. To profit with

  83. all. For to one is given by the Spirit the word

  84. of wisdom, to another word of knowledge by the

  85. same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit,

  86. to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit,

  87. to another the working of miracles, to another

  88. prophecy, to another designing of Spirit, to

  89. another diverse kinds of tongues, to another

  90. the interpretation of tongues. But all this...

  91. All these gifts work at that one and self -same

  92. spirit, dividing to every man severally as what?

  93. As he will. Hallelujah. So the man wills them.

  94. The man wills them because the spirit of God

  95. has given the man all the gifts. Praise God.

  96. But the manifestation, that's the word there.

  97. The manifestation, the demonstration, the visibility

  98. of the gifts. Hallelujah. You see, the more the

  99. believer makes them visible, let me say this

  100. word, he becomes profitable to the local church.

  101. He profits. He profits the local church. He profits

  102. his brother. He brings direction to his brother.

  103. He brings increase. In fact, that word profit

  104. all is to make advantage. You bring advantage.

  105. You become an advantage to the local church.

  106. You become an advantage to your brother. You

  107. become an advantage to your husband. You become

  108. an advantage to your wife. You become an advantage

  109. to your sister and to your brother. We pray the

  110. prayer now. You know, thank you, Sister Judith,

  111. for that, right? That's one which we will look

  112. at it. But when we come to the program, more

  113. I believe that there will be lots of teachings

  114. that are going to build on it. You cannot make

  115. manifest these gifts of the Holy Ghost without

  116. love. Hallelujah. That love drives each and every

  117. one of them. So the visibility, the proof, the

  118. evidence, all of them have been driven through

  119. love. I bring prophets to the local church because

  120. of what? I'm walking in love. I bring profit

  121. to my sisters and brothers because I'm walking

  122. in love. So let me say directly that is that

  123. manifesting the gifts of the Holy Ghost is walking

  124. in love. Praise God. He's walking in love. And

  125. let me say the other way around. Refusing to

  126. manifest the gifts of the Holy Ghost is not walking

  127. in love. And the Spirit of God has been given

  128. to the believer not to be hidden. So the believer

  129. should not always act on his will to restrict

  130. and limit the manifestation of the Spirit through

  131. his life. So what is the Holy Ghost meeting?

  132. In the last time we met, we said two things are

  133. happening in the Holy Ghost meeting. That the

  134. Word of God is given first place in teaching

  135. and preaching. The word of God is given first

  136. place in teaching and preaching. The word of

  137. God is given first place in teaching and preaching.

  138. Let me repeat myself. In Holy Ghost meetings,

  139. the word of God is given first place in teaching

  140. and preaching. So important. Because the foundation

  141. for the demonstration and manifestation of the

  142. gifts of the Holy Ghost are all from God's words.

  143. Let me say it again. There is no manifestation

  144. that you see that is outside God's words. If

  145. you see a manifestation and you see a demonstration

  146. that is not in God's words, then that is a demonic

  147. manifestation you are seeing. Because God's words

  148. gives life, validates every manifestation you

  149. see. So the Holy Spirit cannot act out of God's

  150. words. The Holy Ghost cannot manifest apart God's

  151. Word. It's not possible. In fact, let me say

  152. it this way, that the teaching and preaching

  153. of God's Word automatically is a manifestation

  154. of the Spirit of God. So we don't need to start

  155. seeing the prophetic flow. We don't need to start

  156. seeing eyes open. We don't need to start. The

  157. moment you begin to hear teachings are given,

  158. the Holy Ghost is already manifesting. You see,

  159. so that does not give you the option to choose

  160. the things. Some people come to church to choose

  161. the part of service they want. They say, me,

  162. you know, I don't like that preaching time. I

  163. like the worship time because that is when the

  164. spirit moves me. You are lying. You know me,

  165. I don't like, I just like that prayer time. For

  166. every other thing, I shut down. You see, if you

  167. understand meetings in the local church, you

  168. will know that the Holy Ghost is manifesting

  169. in all the meetings that we gather. Every meeting

  170. we gather, the Spirit of God is manifesting.

  171. So you don't choose which meetings as it were,

  172. or rather participate in all meetings. So teaching

  173. and preaching, important. We took time and talked

  174. about teaching meetings. And we read Acts chapter

    Acts 10:34

  175. 10, verse 34 and 46. One of the things we got

  176. from that place is that the teaching of God's

  177. word gives back to the demonstration of the things

  178. of the spirit. Hallelujah. The teaching of God's

  179. word. While he yet spake, that's what the scripture

  180. says, the Holy Ghost fell on all of them. Praise

  181. God. In cataclysmos, what will be happening is

  182. that while the teaching is yet ongoing, that

  183. the Holy Ghost will be falling on many. Hallelujah.

  184. We're going to be seeing so much demonstration

  185. without necessarily time given for different

  186. instructions will be given. The eyes of many

  187. will be open. People will see by the Spirit.

  188. People will hear by the Spirit as the teaching

  189. is going on. There's no yet any call made or

  190. any instruction given as it were for us to edify

  191. each other in the prophetic or in spiritual songs

  192. or in word of knowledge or in word of wisdom.

  193. As the teaching is coming, hallelujah, that we

  194. are going to be seeing so much sharing happening.

  195. And the spirit of God is moving across everywhere.

  196. The atmosphere, the presence of God, glory clouds

  197. everywhere. Where people are set up, convictions

  198. are set up, you know, much more passion is set

  199. up in the hearts of people. People are being

  200. convinced about the call of God in their lives.

  201. And after the meeting, we're going to see people

  202. testify and say, sir, you know, during the teaching,

  203. as the teaching was going on, the Holy Ghost

  204. was working out a whole lot in my heart. Suddenly

  205. my eyes opened and I saw A land. And I saw a

  206. place. And I saw a group of people. And I heard

  207. the voice of God in my heart. Saying that these

  208. are the things I want you to do. As the teaching

  209. is going on. That's what happened in Acts chapter

    Acts 10 chapter mention

  210. 10. And we read about Jesus also. As Jesus was

  211. teaching. The power of God was what? Was available.

  212. Was present to heal. He wasn't healing yet. He

  213. was just what? Teaching. Let me say this. Teaching

  214. and preaching is as powerful as the manifestation

  215. of the prophetic. Teaching and preaching is as

  216. powerful as word of wisdom. Teaching and preaching

  217. is as powerful. So don't say, hey, me, I'm waiting

  218. for, you know, I'm waiting for the time of power.

  219. So we see the word of God giving first place.

  220. So teaching and preaching gives precedence to

  221. demonstrations or activities of the spirit. And

  222. what do we say are demonstrations? What do we

  223. say are manifestations? And we say that demonstrations

  224. and manifestations are the evidence that the

  225. Holy Ghost is present. Hallelujah. Because they

  226. are physical. They are tangible. They are evidence

  227. that what? That the Spirit of God is what? Is

  228. present. When we come in a meeting, as teaching

  229. is going on, Holy Spirit, I know as teaching

  230. is going on, then suddenly, you know, a call

  231. is given that there are two blind people here.

  232. Can you come out? Or if you know someone is sick

  233. here, can you just come out? We're going to lay

  234. house on you right now and healing is going to

  235. happen right now. You know, many sick people

  236. run to the front and hands are laid on them or

  237. words are given and instantly you begin to see

  238. eyes are opening. Instantly you begin to hear

  239. ears are opening. You hear a shout there. I can

  240. hear, I can hear, I can hear. You begin to see,

  241. oh, the eyes are open, the eyes are open. Why?

  242. Because I know her. She is my neighbor. She has

  243. been blind from childbirth. But as hands were

  244. laid on her, suddenly there was a recreative

  245. miracle and then eyes came to her. There are

  246. evidences. So demonstrations are evidences that

  247. the spirit of God is present. Hallelujah. Demonstrations

  248. are manifestations of the spirit. shows the glory

  249. and the power of the Spirit of God that is in

  250. you. Let me repeat it because we need to hear

  251. this line now. That demonstrations, manifestations,

  252. they show the glory and the power of God that

  253. is in you. It's not a potential energy. It's

  254. not a potential evidence that is hidden. It's

  255. a moving evidence. It's a physical evidence.

  256. So when I say I have the glory of God, when I

  257. say I have the power of God in me, what I am

  258. saying in essence is that I am going to give,

  259. I'm going to give opportunity for a free flow

  260. for the manifestation of that power within me.

  261. So how can people know you have the spirit of

  262. God through the manifestation? Hallelujah. How

  263. can people know you have the spirit of God through

  264. the demonstration? So when we come to a meeting

  265. and then an instruction is given, can you give

  266. a prophetic word? You know, we have had lots

  267. of these testimonies in our meetings in Catholicism.

  268. Lots of people, even in prayer groups, we have

  269. had lots of testimonies. People, we know when

  270. people are grouped in a 2 -2 or 3 -3 or 4 -4

  271. or 5 -5. And then they say, can you take some

  272. time and pray in the Holy Ghost? Pray in the

  273. Holy Ghost. Pray in the Holy Ghost. Five minutes,

  274. 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes,

  275. one hour. And we say, can you give a prophetic

  276. or a word of wisdom? Or can you give a word to

  277. your brother and to your sister? Do you know,

  278. for the first time, people that have never experienced

  279. the manifestation of the prophetic, they find

  280. themselves prophesying. For the first time, people

  281. that have not heard God's words specific for

  282. individuals. And you know, that experience alone

  283. changes all about them from that meeting. So

  284. the spirit of God in the believer should be visible.

  285. Should be visible. Should be visible. And that

  286. is why we say demonstrations of the Spirit of

  287. God in the believer shows the glory and the power

  288. of God that is in the believer. Romans chapter

    Romans 8:14–16

  289. 8, verse 14 to 16. Romans chapter 8, verse 14

    Romans 8:14–16

  290. to 16. Romans chapter 8, verse 14 to 16. Therefore,

    Romans 8:14–16

  291. as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they

  292. are what? They are the sons of God. For you have

  293. not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.

  294. Hallelujah. What have we received? We have received

  295. the spirit of adoption. Whereby we do what? We

  296. cry. Hallelujah. Our father, the spirit himself,

  297. beared witness with what? With our spirit that

  298. we are what? The children of God. Hallelujah.

  299. So manifestation and demonstration of the things

  300. of the Spirit are witnesses in the believer's

  301. life. Do you hear what I said? They are what?

  302. They are witnesses. In fact, let me say them

  303. this way. That the gifts of the Holy Ghost in

  304. the believer are witnesses of the Holy Ghost

  305. in the believer. The gifts of the Holy Ghost

  306. in the believer, their manifestation, their demonstrations

  307. are what? Are witnesses in what? In the believer.

  308. So what do we see? We see that an inward witness

  309. in the believer should produce an outward activity.

  310. An inward witness in the believer should produce

  311. an outward demonstration, an outward activity.

  312. Say, sir, you know me, sir, my spirit, you know,

  313. sir, you people, you like to show, you like to

  314. show. You know, the last time I saw the pastors,

  315. sir, you know, we are only in the inside, in

  316. the inside, bro. The spirit of God in the believer.

  317. Should be manifested. The spirit of God. Has

  318. and should always. Be giving free course. For

  319. demonstration. Then the second thing I said.

  320. Is that the Holy Ghost. In Holy Ghost meetings.

  321. The Holy Ghost is giving a free room. To demonstrate

  322. himself. That's the second thing. In Holy Ghost

  323. meetings, the Holy Ghost is giving a what? A

  324. free room to demonstrate himself. And we're going

  325. to build on that now. And when we say he's giving

  326. a free room, we are saying that, Lord, that we

  327. create an allowance for the Spirit of God. We

  328. give room for the Spirit of God. We give opportunity

  329. for the Spirit of God. So how does the Spirit

  330. of God demonstrate himself in Holy Ghost meetings?

  331. Number one. How does the Spirit of God demonstrate

  332. himself in Holy Ghost meetings? Number one. Does

  333. the Spirit of God or the Holy Ghost demonstrate

  334. himself in utterances? In Holy Ghost meetings,

  335. one of the things we are going to see is that

  336. the Spirit of God will be demonstrating himself

  337. in what? In utterances. And when we say utterance,

  338. what we mean by saying utterances in Holy Ghost

  339. meetings is that the Spirit of God is going to

  340. speak. Things are going to be said in Holy Ghost

  341. meetings by the Spirit of God. Things are going

  342. to be said. Let me say it again. Things are going

  343. to be said. When we say utterances, we mean what?

  344. Things are going to be said. Things are going

  345. to be spoken under the inspiration of the Spirit

  346. of God. So when the Holy Ghost is giving room

  347. in utterances, He gives us things to say. He

  348. gives us things to say. He gives us things to

  349. say. He gives us things to say. He speaks through

  350. us. He brings comfort through us to people. He

  351. brings direction through us to people. He brings

  352. comfort, strength to people. He brings confirmations.

  353. He brings reassurances through us. But how? Through

  354. things that have been said and spoken. He gives

  355. us something to say on the moment. Not premeditated

  356. things. Hallelujah. That is why we are saying,

  357. through the inspiration of the Spirit of God,

  358. not premeditated things. No, no, no, no, no,

  359. no. On the moment. Things that eyes don't know

  360. about. Ears don't know about. Heart don't know

  361. about. People around don't know about. On the

  362. moment. Or at the moment, he gives us things

  363. to say. So it's not a regular discussion where

  364. I know my wife and I know lots of things about

  365. her and then I come to say those things to her.

  366. No. And when we say utterance, there are three

  367. utterances the Spirit of God is going to give

  368. in Holy Ghost meetings. Three utterances we're

  369. going to see him move. We're going to see him

  370. move in the prophetic. We're going to see him

  371. move in the prophetic, the prophecy. We're going

  372. to see him move in tongues. We're going to see

  373. him move in interpretation of tongues. We see

  374. the Holy Ghost gives utterances, things to say

  375. via the prophetic, things to say. Via tongues.

  376. Things to say. Via interpretation of what? Of

  377. tongues. Hallelujah. When we read 1 Corinthians

    1 Corinthians 14 chapter mention

  378. chapter 14, we will see that tongues and interpretation

  379. of tongues is equal to prophecy. Because when

  380. we pray in tongues, when we sing in tongues,

  381. as it were, in 1 Corinthians chapter 14, it says

    1 Corinthians 14 chapter mention

  382. we edify ourselves. But when we pray in tongues,

  383. when we speak in tongues, and we interpret those

  384. tongues, what it does, it does what? It edifies

  385. the church. So likewise, prophecy also what?

  386. Edifies the church. So in Holy Ghost meetings,

  387. let me say this now to us now. In Holy Ghost

  388. meetings, prepare your heart, prepare your mind

  389. that the Spirit of God is going to speak through

  390. you. Hallelujah. The Spirit of God is going to

  391. give you things to say. And when He gives you

  392. things to say, please don't shut your mouth up.

  393. He's going to give you things to say via prophecy.

  394. He's going to give you things to say via tongues.

  395. He's going to give you things to say via interpretation

  396. of tongues. So we say the Spirit of God, let

  397. me tie it again from where we had last week.

  398. We say the Spirit is given to us to become speaking

  399. spirits. So the Spirit, or the things of the

  400. Spirit, or the gifts of the Spirit, or the demonstration

  401. of the gifts of the Spirit are preceded upon

  402. speaking. All the gifts of the Holy Ghost find

  403. expression through how? Through speaking. Healing

  404. will take place through what? Speaking. Gifts

  405. of faith comes to people through what? Speaking.

  406. Word of wisdom, word of knowledge, through what?

  407. Speaking. See, the spirit of God in you has made

  408. you to be a speaking spirit. So take advantage.

  409. Posture yourself. Position yourself to enjoy

  410. the flow of the Spirit of God through you. So

  411. let's just track back a little bit. And then

  412. let's look at how the work of the Spirit throughout

  413. the spiritual. Just some examples. We're going

  414. to look at some examples until we continue. And

  415. we're going to see that the Spirit of God comes

  416. upon us. And one of the things we're going to

  417. see that is prevalent, one of the things that

  418. we're going to see that is obvious and evident,

  419. right, where the Spirit of God is, is what? Speakings,

  420. utterances. So you see how we are building now.

  421. We are going back to now see from the Scriptures.

  422. These are just, you know, Examples that we're

  423. going to see, the walkings of the Spirit, so

  424. that do not be at distance, are for 1 Samuel.

  425. Thank you, Holy Spirit. 1 Samuel, chapter 19,

    1 Samuel 19:20

  426. verse 20. 1 Samuel, chapter 19, verse 20. And

    1 Samuel 19:20

  427. then let's see what the scripture says. And let's

  428. start from verse 19, everybody. 19, 19. And it

  429. was told Saul saying, behold, David is at Nioth

  430. in Ramah. And Saul sent messengers to take David.

  431. And when they saw the company of the prophets

  432. prophesying and Samuel standing as appointed

  433. over them, the spirit of God was upon. the messengers

  434. of Saul, and they shut their mouth. Is that what

  435. your scripture says? What happened to them? Because

  436. the spirit of God was there, they prophesied,

  437. speakings, utterance. Hallelujah. The spirit

  438. of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they

  439. also what? Prophesied. Messengers. Messengers.

  440. They were messengers sent. But the Spirit of

  441. God came upon them and what happened instantly

  442. to them? They began to speak. Inspired speakings.

  443. Prophecies are inspired utterances. Inspired

  444. speakings by the Spirit of God. 2 Samuel chapter

    2 Samuel 23:2

  445. 23, verse 2. 2 Samuel chapter 23, verse 2. The

    2 Samuel 23:2

  446. Spirit of the Lord. 2 Samuel chapter 23, verse

    2 Samuel 23:2

  447. 2. The spirit of the Lord speak by me. His word

  448. was in my what? In my tongue. Hallelujah. The

  449. spirit of the Lord speak. The spirit of the Lord

  450. speak by me. Gave me in spiral trances. Why?

  451. Because his word was in my tongue. In cataclysmos.

  452. Many and all of us. The word of the spirit of

  453. God. Will be in our tongue. And we will be speaking

  454. them out. Hallelujah. He spoke by me. For his

  455. word was in my tongue. We see an activity of

  456. the spirit of God. Numbers 11. Verse 25. Numbers

    Numbers 11:25

  457. 11 verse 25. Numbers 11 verse 25. As we are reading

    Numbers 11:25

  458. these scriptures. Directly. Just start seeing

  459. yourself much more. Much more the spirit of God.

  460. Is giving words much more through your mouth.

  461. That there will be so much. Abundance speaking

  462. is happening through you. In the Catholicism.

  463. Abundance speaking is happening through you.

  464. In cell meetings, abundant speaking is happening

  465. through you. On Sunday, during the service, abundant

  466. speaking is happening through you. The Spirit

  467. of the Lord giving you words, giving you direction

  468. for your family, direction for your father, direction

  469. for your mother, direction for your siblings,

  470. direction for your friends, and you are altering

  471. them out. Numbers 11, 25. And the Lord came down

  472. in a cloud. and spake unto him and took of the

  473. spirit that was upon him. We're talking about

  474. Moses now. And took of the spirit that was upon

  475. him and gave it unto the 70 elders. And it came

  476. to pass when the spirit rested on them. What

  477. happened to them? They prophesied and did not

  478. see it. Hallelujah. So we see. Where the Spirit

  479. of God is, we are seen in spiral torrents. Immediately

  480. the Spirit of God rested on them. What happened

  481. to them? They began to prophesy and did not cease.

  482. In fact, let's keep reading now. 26. But there

  483. remained two of the men in the camp. The name

  484. of one was Eldad. And the name of the other Medad.

  485. And the spirit rested upon them. And they were

  486. of them that were written. But went not out unto

  487. the tabernacle. And they prophesied where? In

  488. the camp. So everyone. That is part of the believers

  489. meeting. Everyone that is part of the Holy Ghost

  490. meetings. Hallelujah. Inspired utterances. Inspired

  491. speaking by the Spirit of God. Nehemiah 9 verse

    Nehemiah 9:30

  492. 30. Nehemiah 9 verse 30. And we keep going through

    Nehemiah 9:30

  493. so many of these scriptures. Nehemiah 9 verse

    Nehemiah 9:30

  494. 30. Yet many years did not forbear them. And

  495. testified against them by the Spirit in thy what?

  496. In thy prophets. One of the teachings that we

  497. had concerning spirituals, the first teaching

  498. we had concerning spirituals, you know, in the

  499. self -pity, we said the Spirit of God has been

  500. on the earth. The Spirit of God didn't show up

  501. during the day of Pentecost. And we read... evidences

  502. from the scriptures. And one of them, we said,

  503. we see the activity of the Spirit of God upon

  504. prophets, upon priests, upon kings. We remember,

  505. I know we should not forget the teaching. Right?

  506. So, and we see it here. He said, it testified

  507. against them by the Spirit in what? In thy prophets.

  508. Yet would they not give in their forgiveness

  509. thou them into the hands of the people of what?

  510. Of the land. When we read throughout the scriptures,

  511. we're going to see kings. We're going to see

  512. prophets. We're going to see priests. As the

  513. Spirit of God comes upon them, one of the first

  514. things that happens to them is that you will

  515. hear them give inspired utterances. By the Spirit

  516. of God. Acts chapter 1. Verse 16. Acts chapter

    Acts 1 chapter mention Acts 1:16

  517. 1, verse 16. There are a lot of scriptures here,

  518. so I'll just call 2, 3, 4, and then we'll just

  519. look at it, and then we keep building. Acts chapter

    Acts 1:16

  520. 1, verse 16. He said, men and brethren, these

  521. scriptural needs have been fulfilled, which the

  522. Holy Ghost, by the mouth of what? David. Did

  523. what? The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David,

  524. did what? Speak. Hallelujah. The Holy Ghost,

  525. by the mouth of Custon, speak. The Holy Ghost,

  526. by the mouth of Pastor Chidi. Speak. By the Holy

  527. Ghost, by the mouth of Pastor Victor, he's speaking.

  528. The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Queen, he's speaking.

  529. The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Prince, he's

  530. speaking. The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Samuel

  531. Lawatt, he's speaking. The Holy Ghost, by the

  532. mouth of Dunkard, he's speaking. The Holy Ghost,

  533. by the mouth of Joy, he's what? He's speaking.

  534. The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Takunda, he's

  535. what? He's speaking. Before concerning Judas,

  536. which was God's death, the one that took Jesus.

  537. This same scripture, I would have read it from

  538. the Old Testament, as it were, Old Testament.

  539. However, we see the Spirit of God in David giving

  540. him what? Inspired utterances, the prophetic.

  541. Acts chapter 4, verse 8. Acts chapter 4. Or let's

    Acts 4:8 Acts 4 chapter mention

  542. read Acts chapter 2 before we read Acts chapter

    Acts 2 chapter mention Acts 4 chapter mention

  543. 4. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,

  544. they were all with one accord in one place. And

  545. suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of

  546. a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole

  547. house where they were sitting. And there appeared

  548. upon them cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat

  549. upon each of them. See verse 4, everybody. And

  550. they were all filled with what? With the Holy

  551. Ghost. See the next thing that began to happen

  552. to them. Everybody. And they were all filled

  553. with the Holy Ghost. And began to what? Speak.

  554. Hallelujah. They began to speak with other tongues

  555. as the Spirit gave them what? position yourself

  556. that in catatismus, I am filled with the spirit

  557. of God and I will speak as the spirit gives me

  558. utterance. Hallelujah. I will not shut my mouth

  559. off. I will not be hearing. I will not go to

  560. the back and keep quiet and just be an onward

  561. looker or a spectator somewhere. I will participate.

  562. And my participation is what? In speaking. In

  563. speaking. In speaking. As he gave them utterance,

  564. they didn't hold back. What did they do? They

  565. spoke. They spoke in other tongues. As he gave

  566. them utterance, Peter stood up. He didn't go

  567. back to hide. What did he do? He spoke by the

  568. Spirit of God. That's what the Father said. Then

  569. Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, kept quiet

  570. and thought in his heart, Ye rulers of the people

  571. and the elders of Israel. Is that what the scripture

  572. says? He said, Peter filled with the Holy Ghost.

  573. What did he do? He said unto the people, Hallelujah.

  574. He said unto them. Koston, filled with the Holy

  575. Ghost, said unto them. Gabriel, filled with the

  576. Holy Ghost, said unto them. Gatenia, Maria, filled

  577. with the Holy Ghost, said unto them. We see speakings,

  578. speakings by the Spirit of God. 2 Peter chapter

    2 Peter 1:8

  579. 1, verse 8. Let's read it. I know we know the

  580. scripture, but let's read it. 2 Peter chapter

    2 Peter 1:21

  581. 1 verse 21. For the prophecy came not in all

  582. time by the will of man, but the holy men of

  583. God speak as they were what? As they were inspired

  584. by what? By the Holy Ghost. Oh. The Catatismus

  585. meeting is going to be a meeting full of inspiration

  586. by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah. There will

  587. be massive, so much speaking by the Spirit of

  588. God. From the teaching sessions, to the prayer

  589. sessions, to the practice sessions, so much speaking

  590. by the Spirit of God. So we see God give his

  591. people his spirit throughout the scriptures.

  592. And they never kept quiet. They have been speaking.

  593. So God gave me his spirit to speak. Hallelujah.

  594. God gave me his spirit to what? To speak. To

  595. bring order to where there is chaos. To declare

  596. salvation to where there is darkness. To announce

  597. much more freedom to them that are under the

  598. bondage of Satan. To speak. So change things

  599. by your declaration. Change things. Change things.

  600. Bring direction to friends by your declaration.

  601. Ephesians chapter 5 verse 18 to 20. Ephesians

    Ephesians 5:18–20 Ephesians 5:18–20

  602. chapter 5, verse 18 to 20. See the scriptures,

  603. everybody. Speakings. We are still on that first

  604. point. He demonstrates himself. Hear what? Utterance.

  605. Hallelujah. Speakings. Ephesians chapter 5, verse

    Ephesians 5:18–20

  606. 18 to 20. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank You Holy

  607. Spirit Thank You Holy Spirit Ephesians chapter

    Ephesians 5:18–20

  608. 5 verse 18 to 20. to God and the Father in the

  609. name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is our reality

  610. in catatismus. Hallelujah. We will be speaking

  611. to ourselves in psalms, in hymns, which are spiritual

  612. songs. We will be singing. We will be making

  613. melody in our heart unto the Lord. We will be

  614. submitting ourselves one to another in the fear

  615. of God. Where we see the infilling of the Holy

  616. Ghost, where we see the sharing of the Holy Ghost,

  617. we're going to see inspired utterances. We're

  618. going to see the prophetic. We're going to see

  619. tongues. We're going to see interpretation of

  620. tongues. Somebody just asked a question. Okay,

  621. so how are we going to know prophecy, tongues,

  622. interpretation of tongues? Don't worry. The teachings

  623. are going to come. There is nothing we will practice

  624. in Catholicism that will not be taught. In fact,

  625. let me say it this way before we come to it.

  626. You see, the gifts of the Holy Ghost, they function

  627. much more by instructions. We're going to get

  628. instructions first from the teachings and preaching.

  629. You see, that is why you can't remove teaching

  630. and preaching from the Holy Ghost meeting. If

  631. you remove teaching and preaching for a Holy

  632. Ghost meeting, I don't know, that is like a similitude

  633. of a shrine. You consult oracles and oracles

  634. just speak and you carry your load and go. I'm

  635. going to say something you understand why the

  636. teaching of God's word must first take place.

  637. So we see the infilling of the Spirit of God

  638. results to us, all of us, speaking about the

  639. inspiration of the Spirit of God. Hallelujah.

  640. So we will pray in tongues. We will sing in tongues.

  641. We will interpret the tongues. All by the Spirit

  642. of God. So the second thing we see by the Spirit

  643. of God, the Holy Ghost demonstrates Himself in

  644. revelations. The Holy Ghost demonstrated himself

  645. in what? In revelations, in a Holy Ghost meeting.

  646. So we said in utterance, when we say the Holy

  647. Ghost is demonstrating himself in utterance,

  648. it means that there are things that are going

  649. to be said by the Spirit of God, right? But now

  650. when we say in revelations, we mean that there

  651. are things that are going to be seen. In utterance,

  652. things will be said. In revelations, things will

  653. be seen. Hallelujah. Things will be revealed.

  654. Things will be unveiled. Many things will meet

  655. the eye. Three of them, we see word of knowledge.

  656. We see word of wisdom. We see discerning of spirits.

  657. There are also three. So the Holy Ghost will

  658. demonstrate himself in revelations. What do we

  659. mean by in revelations? Things are going to be

  660. seen. Hallelujah. In cataclysmos, we're going

  661. to see people are going to see by the Spirit

  662. of God. There will be speakings as a result of

  663. seeing. So we see three of them. Word of knowledge,

  664. word of wisdom, and discerning of spirit. So

  665. when we say things are going to be seen, it's

  666. that things are going to be revealed that we

  667. don't have information about. Hallelujah. We

  668. have never encountered the things. And those

  669. things will be made bare to meet the eye. So

  670. we're going to see God give us things that are

  671. going to happen or things that are happening

  672. or things that have already happened in the past

  673. and God wants to speak or reveal those things

  674. because he wants to do something now with them.

  675. Hallelujah. So things will be seen. So we're

  676. going to receive things that were not there before.

  677. Hallelujah. Things that were not there before,

  678. we're going to see those things. Those things

  679. will be revealed by the Spirit of God. Third

  680. thing, the Holy Ghost is going to demonstrate

  681. himself in power. He's going to demonstrate himself

  682. in power, which means that things are going to

  683. be done. Things are going to be established.

  684. In utterance, things are going to be said. In

  685. revelations, things are going to be seen. In

  686. power, things are going to be done. Hallelujah.

  687. Oh, glory to God. Cataclysm is supernatural.

  688. Cataclysm is supernatural. We are saying things

  689. by the Spirit of God. We are seeing things by

  690. the Spirit of God. And many things are done by

  691. the Spirit of God. By the ability of the Spirit

  692. of God. So things are going to be done. We will

  693. see them visible. So three of them also. We are

  694. going to see them in healings. We are going to

  695. see them in healings. We are going to see them

  696. in walking of miracles. We are going to see gifts

  697. of faith. Hallelujah. We are going to see them

  698. in healings. In working of miracles. And do you

  699. know everything that I'm saying is the reality

  700. of what will happen in Katatismos? All that we've

  701. been saying so far, they are things that are

  702. all our reality during the Holy Ghost meeting

  703. that is ahead of us. Hallelujah. Healings, working

  704. of miracles, and gift of faith. We see the power

  705. of the Holy Ghost coming upon people. Things

  706. are going to be happening supernaturally. Fourth,

  707. the needs of people are always met in Holy Ghost

  708. meetings. Fourth, the needs of people are always

  709. met. Healing needs. Ignorance needs. That is

  710. why teaching must come. Healing needs. Ignorance

  711. needs. Direction. Comfort. Deliverances. Convictions.

  712. Needs are going to be met and are always met

  713. in Holy Ghost meetings. That's the third one

  714. now. So after the teaching of the word, then

  715. we see the demonstration of the spirit of God.

  716. Then the fourth one, the third one is the need

  717. of people are met. Then the fourth we see is

  718. that the believers, let me clarify myself so

  719. that we can get it. Number one, we say in Holy

  720. Ghost meetings, the teaching of God's word is

  721. given what? priority number two the holy ghost

  722. is giving room for demonstration right and we

  723. say in the point for holy ghost giving room for

  724. demonstration to manifest right we say he's going

  725. to manifest himself in utterance he's going to

  726. manifest himself in revelation he's going to

  727. manifest himself in what in power amen and so

  728. though all these points are sub points under

  729. The Holy Ghost demonstrating himself. So the

  730. third thing is that the needs of people are met

  731. in Holy Ghost meetings. And the fourth thing

  732. we see is that all of us are edified. In Holy

  733. Ghost meetings, the meeting that is ahead of

  734. us, all of us, we are edified. We are strengthened.

  735. And the last thing that will be happening to

  736. us, glory to God, we will leave the Holy Ghost

  737. meeting rejoicing. Hallelujah. We will leave

  738. every day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,

  739. Friday, Saturday. We are exiting that door rejoicing

  740. every day. Hallelujah. Rejoicing every day. Rejoicing

  741. every day. Why? Because the word of God has its

  742. place. The Holy Ghost has demonstrated himself

  743. in utterance, in revelation, in power. Why? Because

  744. needs have been met by the Spirit of God. We

  745. are edified. And when we are edified, what do

  746. we do next? We rejoice. So we leave always out

  747. of that door rejoicing throughout that one week.

  748. So in Holy Ghost meeting, let me reiterate myself

  749. again. In Holy Ghost meeting, what do we see?

  750. The preaching of God's word is what? Is giving

  751. what? Is first place. That's number one. Number

  752. two, the Holy Ghost is giving free room for what?

  753. For demonstration. Hallelujah. Number three,

  754. we see that the needs of people are what? Amen.

  755. Praise God. Number four, what do we see? That

  756. we are edified. Number five, what do we see?

  757. That we leave that atmosphere, what? Rejoicing.

  758. Praise God. Hallelujah. So all these things,

  759. when we join them together, We can term them

  760. as experiences by the Spirit of God. All that

  761. we have discussed, when we join all of them together,

  762. we can term them as what? Experiences by the

  763. Spirit of God to the believer. So what the Holy

  764. Ghost is doing for every one of us is that He

  765. is giving us or He is taking us into all these

  766. experiences. So our lives cannot be devoid of

  767. experiences. Where the word of God is given its

  768. first place, where we see a demonstration of

  769. the spirit of God, where we see needs are met,

  770. where we see we are edified, our lives will not

  771. be devoid of what? Of experiences by the spirit

  772. of God. So you can term Catartismus as a week

  773. of experiences by the Spirit of God. Monday,

  774. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,

  775. deeper experiences by the Spirit of God. From

  776. one level to another. Experiences upon experiences.

  777. Encounters upon encounters. So we see because

  778. these experiences, directly or indirectly as

  779. it were, even though we will not be able to explain

  780. some of them, but as we continue to submit ourselves

  781. to teaching, certain things that are going to

  782. happen to us, the knowledge will come to us.

  783. Hallelujah. You see, that is why you cannot attempt

  784. karatismos and after that meeting, you just run

  785. away. Stop coming to meetings. No. You keep coming.

  786. You keep coming. You keep coming because certain

  787. experiences are going to be defined and explained

  788. through the teachings that you will keep getting.

  789. So let me say this now. What are some of the

  790. things that we can do? Or what are some of the

  791. things that we should not do to hinder the flow

  792. of the things of the Holy Ghost in a Holy Ghost

  793. meeting? I just have a few minutes left. Probably

  794. I will just say them and then we can write them.

  795. What are some of the things that we should not

  796. do that will hinder the flow of the things of

  797. the Spirit? in a Holy Ghost meeting. You see,

  798. all the things that I've said should already

  799. inform us on how we ought to behave in the meeting

  800. that is ahead of us. Hallelujah. That when we

  801. come, how we should participate, how we should

  802. yield ourselves. You should know that when I

  803. come to a Holy Ghost meeting, one of the ways

  804. I should participate is that the Holy Ghost is

  805. going to speak through me. So I need to posture

  806. myself in hearing instructions. Because through

  807. me, needs will be met. Through me, someone will

  808. be edified. So what are some of the things? Number

  809. one, in Holy Ghost meetings, do not allow over

  810. familiarity. or lack of honor to rob you of receiving

  811. such spiritual experiences. Do not allow what?

  812. Is he not my husband? Is he not my wife? Is he

  813. not my housemate? Okay. Is he not Brother Shenene

  814. or Chokobleke? I know him now. Spiritually, I

  815. am higher than him in the spiritual rank. Do

  816. not allow what? Over familiarity, lack of honor

  817. to rob you of receiving spiritual experiences

  818. in a Holy Ghost meeting. Do you know why? Because

  819. once love is not there, once love is not there,

  820. automatically a block is already placed from

  821. receiving spiritual things. 1 Corinthians chapter

    1 Corinthians 13 chapter mention

  822. 13. You can read it after this meeting. Let's

  823. just read it. Let's just read it. 1 Corinthians

  824. chapter 30. You can just read verse 1. Just the

  825. few verses I heard of it. And then we just move.

  826. Though I speak with the tongues of men and of

  827. angels. And have not love. I am become a sounding

  828. brass. Or a tingling cymbal. And though I have

  829. the gifts. Of prophecy. Can you see? Though I

  830. see the demonstration of the prophecy. Though

  831. I see the final. Law of prophecy. And I understand

  832. all mysteries. And all knowledge. And though

  833. I have all faith. And so that I could remove

  834. mountains. And have not love. I am what? I am

  835. nothing. So what we see. Lack of honor. What

  836. we see. A loveless man coming to such a meeting.

  837. Over familiarity. Strife. What it will do is

  838. that it will place a block to receiving the things

  839. of the Spirit. So what will I say to you? In

  840. Holy Ghost meeting, let love flow. Hallelujah.

  841. In Holy Ghost meeting, let what? Let love flow.

  842. In Holy Ghost meeting, let love flow. And the

  843. things of the Holy Ghost will flow. Let love

  844. flow. As you give, it will be easier to also

  845. receive. Let love flow as you receive the things

  846. of the Spirit. Let love flow as you give the

  847. things of the Spirit. So do not allow over -familiarity,

  848. lack of honor, strife to rob you of receiving

  849. spiritual experiences, manifestation of the things

  850. of the Spirit. So what should I do in Holy Ghost

  851. meetings? When I come, let love flow. Let love

  852. flow. Glory be to God. In the training center,

  853. we are dealing with a message, be not angry or

  854. be angry or be not angry. What we see from the

  855. whole discussion that we've had, glory to God,

  856. that what we see is so profound in this season.

  857. Every man that has the spirit of God and must

  858. see the things of the spirit of God must have

  859. a heart that is treated. By the spirit of God.

  860. Your heart must be treated. Your heart must be

  861. treated. Your heart must be treated. By the spirit

  862. of God. Secondly. What we see. Do not allow.

  863. Or do not be. Let me say it this way. I think

  864. that will capture it. Do not be stereotyped to

  865. only one thing during Holy Ghost meeting. Don't

  866. be used to only one thing. Be flexible. Be flexible.

  867. Flow with the Spirit of God. Do not be stereotyped

  868. to what? To only one thing. Don't say all that

  869. is to the Holy Ghost is the prophetic. No. Don't

  870. say all that is to the Holy Ghost is healing.

  871. No. Don't say all that is to the Holy Ghost is

  872. word of knowledge. No. Don't say all that is

  873. to the Holy Ghost is only the sight of spirits.

  874. No. Don't say all that is to the Holy Ghost is

  875. tongues and interpretation of tongues. No. Don't

  876. be used to only that one thing. Because you know

  877. what? In the Holy Ghost, oh boy, it's an unlimited

  878. experience. Hallelujah. There is more in the

  879. spirit of God. In case you don't know, let me

  880. announce it to you. There is more in the spirit

  881. of God. More experiences. Deeper experiences.

  882. More demonstrations. More manifestations. So

  883. don't hold only on to one. The third thing, unbelief.

  884. Unbelief. Unbelief. Unbelief. Unbelief should

  885. not rob you of receiving from the Spirit of God

  886. in Holy Ghost meetings. And then write this as

  887. the last ignorance. There are lots of scriptures

  888. here. We're going to come to it again because

  889. I'm going to give us this scripture and we're

  890. going to read it all true from the Old Testament.

  891. down to the New Testament as it were for simplicity

  892. of understanding what I'm saying. We're going

  893. to read them. There are lots of scriptures here

  894. which we're going to go from scripture to scripture

  895. to scripture and then learning how unbelief can

  896. pose a block to receiving from the Spirit of

  897. God. Then the last thing is ignorance. Ignorance.

  898. Ignorance as As a way of either you know the

  899. things of the spirit. And refuse to yield to

  900. them. Or you don't even know anything about the

  901. things of the spirit. Or what they are in essence.

  902. Hallelujah. So we see over familiarity or lack

  903. of honor. We see being used to only one thing.

  904. In a Holy Ghost meeting, we see unbelief, we

  905. see ignorance. So we see all these things are

  906. going to pose threats to us receiving from the

  907. Spirit of God in Holy Ghost meetings. Hallelujah.

  908. So in the meeting that is ahead of us, Position

  909. yourself. Posture yourself. Pray about it. Fast

  910. about it. Participate. Make up your mind to participate.

  911. Make up your mind. Pray, plan, prepare, and make

  912. up your mind to participate. That in that meeting,

  913. we're going to have people that are full of joy.

  914. We're going to have people that are going to

  915. pray and pray and pray into the next day, into

  916. the next day. We're going to have people where

  917. burdens are lifted from them. We're going to

  918. have people that have never experienced the manifestation

  919. of the Spirit of God for the first time in their

  920. lives that are baptized with the Holy Ghost.

  921. We're going to have healing miracles happening

  922. in that meeting. We're going to have people that

  923. are being moved by the Holy Ghost. We're going

  924. to receive instructions. Hallelujah. We're going

  925. to see angels ministering to us by the Spirit

  926. of God. We're going to see activations happening

  927. to us. We're going to see tongues and interpretation

  928. of tongues happening to us. We're going to see

  929. the prophetic finding expression accurately.

  930. See, many and all of us are going to have such

  931. deeper experiences by the Spirit of God. Can

  932. we just pray for the Christmas meeting that is

  933. ahead of us? Can we pray, every one of us? Can

  934. we just pray by the Spirit of God? Can we pray

  935. by the Spirit of God? Can you pray for yourself

  936. that in this meeting, oh, I yield myself to the

  937. teaching. I yield myself to the demonstration.

  938. My needs are met. Make up your mind. Have expectation.

  939. Have needs that should be met. oh i am edified

  947. of God, revelations by the spirit of God, power

  948. by the spirit of God, needs are met by the spirit

  949. of God, edification by the spirit of God. We

  950. are rejoicing. Hallelujah. I bring edification

  951. to my sister. I bring edification to my brothers.

  952. I see the supernatural. I see power demonstrated

  953. through the healing of my hands, the laying of

  954. my hands. I see power be released upon sicknesses.

  955. Sicknesses are healed through my hands. Eyes

  956. are opened through my hands. Ears are hearing

  957. through my hands. I bring words and interpretation

  958. of those tongues to men in the name of Jesus.
