Faith like Abraham makes you a great blessing Galatians 3 vs 5-14

You've tuned in to a mega church.

We are people hungry to encounter God through worship

and His Word being witnesses to the world around us.

We pray this teaching blesses you and trust God will reveal

Himself to you in a new way today.

And. If you need prayer for healing

or breakthrough, Want to find out more about Omega?

Get to our website or Facebook page through the links below.

The very first thing that I want to say is, in this new year,

imitate Abraham. Let us all say it.

I will imitate Abraham in the new year.

I will imitate Abraham in the new year.

What am I trying to say here is everyone of us with all our

problems, with all our the way we are made, we are wired up is

unique and we are called to walk like Abraham in faith.

In fact, his problems have drawn him closer to God.

His problem was very simple. He didn't have a son, he didn't

have a child. That was his problem.

He had money, he had men trained in his house.

He had a little army of 318 men at his disposal.

Anytime he want to go and fight somebody, 300 people will stand

up for him in those days. 300 is a good army, size of an army.

He had everything he wanted, Gold, silver, camels, donkeys,

sheep, name it, he had it. He was a wealthy man,

influential man, powerful man, but he did not have a child.

So the whole issue is whatever problem we have, God wants to

prove that is a living God in our life in the same situation

where we are in. But we need to have the same

kind of faith that Abraham had. When you have the same kind of a

faith, you shall overcome. You will overcome your handicap,

you will overcome your deficiency, you will overcome

your want, You will overcome the problem.

You will overcome whatever is challenging you.

Oh, you will overcome what is shaking your faith.

You will overcome your weakness. You will overcome is that

somebody will shout Hallelujah. So Abraham is a type for every

person in the whole world. Whoever wants to walk by faith,

he is a type for us. We had to look at him and learn

something. And just one characteristic of

Abraham is that he heard the voice of God and he believed it

and he followed him, he obeyed him.

That's all very simple. Everybody has a story, and your

story is valid and very important for the Kingdom of

God. I was born in a Hindu family.

I heard that Jesus is a living God at the age of 17.

Or sometimes I think I must have done mistaken calculation, maybe

16, and I said one simple sentence to God.

I said, I hear that you are a living God if you are a living

God, prove yourself living God in my life 48 years ago, still

going good. Oh yeah, I went to a Christian

camp. And where the doctrines of God

seen justification. Can we believe Jesus rose from

the dead? You know, is it credible?

All these things I heard over 3 days of time and then I knew

that they are saying that Jesus is a lie.

So I said all the Hindu gods were just.

Nobody talks about God being alive or living gods any

anytime. They just worship, that's all.

But they are all dead. Most of them are dead.

So that has drawn my attention. Oh, he's a living God.

If he's a living God, I must be able to experience there was

number Thunder or no vision or nothing like that.

Nothing happened to me. You know, I am just very most

unemotional experience is just to say to him, I want to know

you and then he takes me by my my hand and guides me step by

step. Its very simple.

You do not need to feel anything.

The whole thing is that we sometimes attach so much of

value to the feelings. No, the moment you can say no to

feelings and yes to faith, you will make big huge progress.

Like you may be very making depending on the feelings, you

may be making very tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny, tiny progress.

But the moment you say I don't care for feeling, you jump in

your life. Don't focus on feelings because

Abraham did not focus on feelings.

He knew the problem was there year after year for 2425 years

and again a God appears him at the age of 24 and he says next

year by this time you will have a son and it happened, but it

took him 2425 years of waiting before he had a son.

Not that he didn't have the sons.

He had Ishmael and he had much later.

Of course, he had many more children, but that's not the

important thing is son of a promise.

See, this is very, very key ingredient to understanding the

Gospel. The blessing is for son of

promise, not biological son. With biological son, Ishmael

would be the one who will inherit the promise.

But God said, no, I will give you a son in your own flesh.

He will be your own flesh, He will be your own blood, and I am

going to choose him to give the blessing and through you will

all the nations be blessed. That is just a big, big, big

promise, very big promise, and it is very difficult Even so

many times when I think of it. Why am I saying about Abraham is

Abraham is the father of all those who are going to believe

in God, in Jesus Christ. He is our father.

If you are believing in Jesus, Abraham is your father.

Just what a great blessing, but in a smaller way.

Everyone of us can be an Abraham to so many other people.

All your children who come out of you and all the people you

are going to share the gospel. All the people you are going to

pray for healing, all the people you are going to deliver from

the demonic attacks, they are going to be, they are going to

be a children. That is the reason why I say we

must imitate Abraham. We must imitate Abraham.

It's a big challenge. It's a very big challenge, not a

small one. The more you think about it and

more it will blow your mind. So we have started chapter 3

where Paul started answering some questions.

Some of the questions that he answered was some of the

questions he raised was why you are foolish.

That's how he started. You foolish Galatians, why are

you not using your brain? You have one use it.

And second thing he said is I would like to learn just one

thing from you. Did you receive the Spirit by

observing the law or by believing what you heard?

How did you receive the Holy Spirit?

That's a simple question. How do you receive the Holy

Spirit? Is it by obeying the law?

If it is obeying the law, for 1500 years they had the law and

nobody was filled with the Holy Spirit.

It is only those who believe in Jesus who receive the Holy

Spirit. So here is the thing.

Then again, are you so foolish after beginning with the Spirit?

Are you now trying to attain your goal by human effort?

So what is he trying to say? Sanctification is by faith, not

by works. You will become holy by

believing in Jesus and the finished work of Jesus.

It is not by striving hard is not by striving hard.

There were times in my own life I would cry out to God, Jesus,

as you are saying, this is the gospel and this gospel is set me

free from sin and Satan. Where is the victory?

Why am I not walking in victory? And I would strive and strive

and fail and fail until God in His mercy ministers victory

through the Holy Spirit. And he puts you on a different

level. That is the minister of the Holy

Spirit by faith. When you have faith that he is

the one who can give you victory over sin and death and over

Satan, all your circumstances, when you have the faith, then

the Holy Spirit comes rushing into your spirit and puts you on

a level you cannot even imagine. You have to experience it.

Only then you understand what I'm teaching right now.

So there's an invitation for you to experience that victory.

Experience a victory. I want you to receive it by

faith. Even now, as you are listening

to me, receive the victory by faith.

Stop struggling. Lust of the flesh, lust of the

pride of life. Say to them, I am not fighting

you because you are already defeated.

You are defeated. You have no right to control my

life anymore. He has set me free from your

dominion. And when you say the statement,

the Holy Spirit comes rushing into your spirit again.

Don't look to the feeling, the word it says here, I believe it.

That is very, very magical, very, very powerful.

And then he asked them the another question, Why did you

suffer for this gospel if it is really, did you suffer in vain?

Was it of no use to you? No.

All these kind of questions we dealt with in the last message.

Now he launches into the in verse 5 he says, does God give

you his spirit and work miracles among you because you observe

the law or because you believe what you heard?

This is the verse I have struggled with all this one

month. I cannot go past this verse.

Every time I want to study and prepare for message I get struck

up with verse 5. I had so many questions.

I cannot go into all the details of the questions I had in my

mind, but it would stop me from going forward and study it more.

Because this verse says that God gives you His Spirit and works

miracles among you because you believe what you heard, the

gospel of Christ. It is by faith you receive the

Holy Spirit. Just tell your neighbor it is by

faith you receive the Holy Spirit.

It begins with the Holy Spirit. Life begins with the Holy Spirit

and ends with the Holy Spirit. It is not in between.

Again, you are carried by the Holy Spirit.

It is such a gospel, is the most powerful gospel for the simple

reason it is not human effort, it is not your human striving.

It is believing in Jesus and the Holy Spirit becoming your source

of power the moment you believe in Jesus.

This is the gospel. But somehow the church has moved

away from the power of the Holy Spirit and has come to believe.

Few statements say I am a Sinner.

Is nothing anything wrong with it?

No, we are Sinner. So we have to say I am a Sinner

and say Jesus, you died for me, come into my heart, forgive me

my sins, all good. Do they talk about the Holy

Spirit? No.

When you do that, he comes in. When you do that, he comes in

the same second the Holy Spirit comes in.

When you say Jesus, you are my Lord, I surrender myself to you.

He comes into your life. I'll tell you a simple, very

dramatic example. I must have told you before when

I went to Delhi, when went to the slum area, started preaching

and after preaching and start praying for people, one guy came

and stood in front of Maine and said I have a demon inside of

Maine. That is very easy, isn't it?

I don't have to diagnose, I don't have to go after.

He himself knows there is a demon inside of him.

Basically, he said Satan is inside of Maine.

The word in the local language is Saitan.

Saitan mere me hai. That means Satan is inside of

Maine. OK, started praying for him.

There was little movement, little swinging, and nothing

happened. I asked him after prayer.

I said, have you asked Jesus to come into your heart?

He said no. I said ask him to come in and

this Satan will go out. This Satan will go out the

moment you ask Jesus to come in. So I told the pastor, make him

pray in local language, Hindi language.

So he led him into the Lord by making a simple prayer of

confession, asking Jesus, forgive me my sin, I believe you

died for me. Come into my heart.

And then he stood again. I raised my hand in the name of

Jesus. They will come out and touch the

head. Bang.

He was on the floor. The devil left him and next

morning he brought 11 people and came to the church.

It was on a Saturday. I prayed.

Sunday morning he came with 11 people, wife, mother-in-law,

sister-in-law, brother-in-law, everybody.

He brought 11 people and before the same pastor would call him

for the Sunday service. Please come to church.

Then why should I come to church?

What will happen to my business? He had a couple of businesses

delivering water to different businesses.

You know, you, you don't get good drinking water in in some

place. You fill it up in a plastic

container and deliver it and they put on mount it on

something and drink water from it.

And that was his business and he had a pawn shop where he would

sell betel leaves and things like that.

He didn't bother about a business anymore.

He came to the church. So the point I am trying to make

is this, when you have an encounter with Jesus, the Holy

Spirit comes in to dwell in you. This is the truth.

This is the truth. We should stand upon it, but we

are not trying to. The next question I had was,

where is the place for the baptism of the Holy Spirit?

If He had already come in, why do we need baptism of the Holy

Spirit? Baptism of the Holy Spirit is a

second experience that is required for us to become tools

of God in His hand, to be empowered to receive the gifts

of the Holy Spirit, to minister to the body of Christ and to the

community. But the Holy Spirit comes

initially to give you salvation, sonship, to make you walk, to

hear his voice, to believe in him, to receive eternal life.

All these things are personal. But when it comes to serving

others, you need power to serve other people, and you need the

baptism of the Holy Spirit. Is it making sense?

Yeah. So if you have the initial Holy

Spirit really working in you, it will drive you to, I mean, long

for that power so that you can serve others.

It's very simple. Love your neighbor as yourself.

It's very hard to do it, very hard to do it.

But when you receive the power, you will do things not for

yourself. You go and lay hand on somebody,

pray for them. What is your benefit If he gets

healed? You go and say in the name of

Jesus, your day will come out and the day will comes out.

What is your benefit in it? It is to love your neighbor as

you love yourself. You want freedom, you want

salvation, you want healing, and you are giving the same thing to

other people. What can be more glorious than

that? There's nothing more glorious

than that. So we need the Holy Spirit, and

He is here to give us the power. So he begins the whole, I mean,

he begins to Marshall his arguments with Abraham.

So he says in verses, consider Abraham.

He believed God. It was created to him as

righteousness. You know, I also thought a

little bit about many other things along when I was reading

this. People have supernatural

experiences. People in general can have

supernatural experiences. Think for example, the founder

of Islam, He did not make it up in his own mind.

He had a spiritual encounter, but that was with not God, it

was not with Jesus Christ. That's the problem.

And he depended on those revelations he got and being

illiterate, did not know how to read and write.

He had to dictate his experiences and somebody else

wrote it. And that's how you have Quran.

So I asked the question myself is how do one, how does one know

that the experience they are having is from a genuinely from

God or from the devil? Buddha, he sat under a tree and

meditated and he had enlightenment.

Who gave him the Enlightenment? Not from God and that preceded

coming of Jesus. Before Christ came, Buddha was

on earth. So devil has a different way of

doing things he sometimes anticipates.

You know in a game of chess, you make a move before your opponent

makes a move. To make a winning move, you have

to make a winning move. So he did that in history by

touching this guy Buddha by after Christ came 600 years

later, he again played the same game and encountered with

Muhammad. And you have already India, more

than one, one and half, nearly one and half billion now are in

the control of the enemy because they do not have the truth.

They don't have the truth. And you've got Islam, you've got

Catholicism and everything. He has not just one angle.

He's not attacking. Humanity is 1 idea.

He has several ideas to attack, but the Gospel is only one idea.

If anybody wants real life, real eternal life, there's no other

way. Only one way that is through

Jesus Christ. Does it make sense?

But when Abraham heard the voice of God, he believed God.

He believed God, and God did not talk to him about metaphysical

realities. Look at the sun, look at the

star. You know how much distance it

is. He, Abraham, was a

mathematician, remember? And when God was a test him, he

took him outside and said count the stars.

Hey, you think you know math? Come on, count the stars.

If you can count the stars, you can count your descendants.

So that is how God speaks. So when he spoke to him, he

spoke to me about the problem. I am going to give you the land

on which you are here right now. I have brought you from the land

of Mesopotamia which is also a place where God of Eden is

supposed to be in the area of Mesopotamia.

So from the same area he picks up a man and puts him in a

different place that is in Canaan and he says this land is

not yours but I am going to give to your descendants.

Its not going to happen in a day.

It will happen after 400 years, 4 generations.

They are going to be slaves in Egypt.

They will come back here. I will give them the land and

Abraham said I believe. What did Abraham say?

I believe you. Is he going to get it?

No. Is he going to see it?

Yes. He says walk up and down this

country the way you are, everywhere you walk, I'm going

to give to you and your descendants.

He walked, he saw the land, but he never possessed it yet he

believed. That's the reason why Abrahams

faith is very, very superior to anybody, any common man's faith.

Can you believe when you don't see what God is promising you?

Can you believe him? When we walk into this year

2026, I asked God, God, show me what?

What? What are you?

What do you want to do? What do you want to do?

In year 2026 I didn't hear anything.

I prayed day after day after day.

But what I am brought to us that God gave me a vision.

Before we started Omega, God gave me a vision and I saw a

lighthouse by a beach and big lighthouse.

There is a beach there and then I heard a voice saying tsunami

will come, it will sweep through the churches.

So I believed even today I believe, do we see it yet?

See, we only have countable number of people today.

There is nothing to boast about. That is where faith comes.

You've got to believe when you don't see it.

You've got to receive it when you don't see it.

You've got to stand up on it when you don't see it.

Then it will come. When it has to come, it will

come because God is a God who will fulfill every word.

He spoke to me in the year 2000, said build the church for me.

And he made it possible in 2019. And we started in the church,

the church in 2020. So 20 years.

So I don't know when this is going to happen, but I am

inviting this thing that God wants to do in and through

Omega, that tsunami, I stand upon it, I receive it, I see it,

I praise God for it. And I tell you, we as a family,

sometimes you, you come here and say, ah, that pastor is talking

about a vision. No, I don't care about it.

I don't believe it. I it must be his own

imagination. He thinks God spoke to him.

I will tell you it will not benefit you or the church

anyway. If you want to benefit, if you

want to be a benefit to yourself and to the church, you better

believe what the pastor is saying.

Otherwise it is of no benefit to anybody gathering here, putting

your money here, coming for prayer meeting Bible say it is

of no use. Omega has one purpose that is to

become an end time church to be a witness to Jesus Christ.

In this end times when the when the doctrinal divisions are

rampant, you open the YouTube. There are nobody there who is

really serving God. Many people, 90% of them, they

are serving Satan in the name of Christ, the healing Kasigo

demons, the prophesying by the power of the enemy, the devil.

90% You may say, how do you know?

90% because over years I have been following, studying,

looking at them, their life. When you look at their life, you

will see 4 characteristics #1 they will compromise with money,

number 2, they will compromise with sex, they will purity and

they will be compromising and exalting themselves.

I am the number one prophet. I am the major prophet.

There is nobody else in this whole world, only I am the main

prophet. You exalt yourself.

You are a false prophet. You are a false prophet.

You put these three things, four things in your mind when you

look at any anybody on the YouTube and you will after 5

minutes say this guy is a false one.

This guy is a false 1A tree is known by its fruit.

Jesus said a tree is known by its fruit.

It can be massive, it can be green, it can have branches, it

can have anything it can have, but the fruit is not good.

Then the tree is good, not good. It's very simple.

So apply these principles. Wake up, don't believe

everything you see on YouTube or Facebook or anything.

Apply this test. Are they holy?

Are they pursuing God? Are they helping people to grow

in holiness, knowing the Word of God, obeying, obeying the word

of God? And do they bear fruit, good

fruit, holiness, righteousness, goodness?

No, no, no, no. If they are only trying to

compromise about money and having multiple partners apart

from the wife and they have compressed me with money and I

want to boast about their power. No, they are false prophets.

You know, this message is going on the podcast.

Anybody who listens to this message are going to question my

message. I stand on what I say because I

believe that I am speaking for God this morning and here 2026.

I want all of us to pursue God in holiness, in reverence, in

obedience, and bearing fruit that will bring glory to His

name. Be holy, for I am holy, said the

Lord. So we had to be like that.

So here we see Abraham believed God when he had nothing to

really believe. He believed.

It is so hard sometimes, you know, before I got married.

You know that I believed that this is Gods will, that I should

marry Seema, you know, and I would pray and pray and pray.

Year after year it goes on. It never was.

I had never saw a day when it is going to happen.

And there was a time I said no, it is never going to happen.

But I had no other option to stand except on that.

I said this is what you said, oh God is your will.

So I stand up on it, I stand up on it, I stand up on it.

And after 8 long years we got married.

But those eight years it was very difficult time, not easy

time. It wasn't easy time.

So what I'm trying to say here is every problem of years God

will come through to demonstrate that He is reliable, that His

hand is upon your life, that He is blessing you, that is guiding

you, that is ordained your life. There is no tear that you shed,

which is irrelevant to God. There is no pain that you are

going through. God is not concerned about.

He wants to see set you free from that pain.

The tears from your eyes, He wants to wipe it out.

He wants to prove that He is a living God and that's what He

did to Abraham because he believed in Him.

Welcome to experience this God. Open invitation to experience

this God in your own personal struggles.

He wants to prove that He is God.

He is God. So next thing that we see here

is that in verse 8, the Scripture foresaw that God would

justify the Gentiles by faith and announce the gospel in

advance to Abraham. Scripture foresaw.

This Bible foresaw what is. Can Scripture foresee

everything? What is what?

What does Paul mean when it says Scripture force?

Scripture force is God force. God force is what Scripture

force am I communicating here? Whatever you see in the Bible,

God is saying it. Whatever God is saying is in the

Bible, So Scriptures itself, inanimate book, it has no life

in itself. But the words are full of life.

The words are full of life. If you believe one single verse

in the whole Bible, your life will not be the same.

One single verse can change your life completely because there is

power in that word. It is God breathed.

Is God breathed? So you have Peter saying the

same thing, Paul saying the same thing in second Table 316.

All scripture is God breathed is used for this, this, this, this

and no, no prophecy has come by itself, but men have got were

moved by the Holy Spirit. That's what Peter writes.

So the word is having life of its own.

But what the Bible says is what God says.

So he's The Scriptures foresaw that God would justify the

Gentiles by faith and announce the gospel in advance to

Abraham. So the gospel is given to

Abraham in advance. Hey, man, don't think you are

living a life of your own. No, no, no.

You will become a pattern. You will become the forefather

of all those who believe. And the whole world is going to

believe in the salvation. I'm going to bring through your

descendant, the seed, singular seed, Jesus Christ.

And I'm going to bless the whole world through that seed.

And the gospel is given to that man because he believed in God.

I'm telling you your faith. You may think I'm a believer, I

live and I die, I'll be gone. No, you are a believer and you

are. You are.

You are becoming a partner with the living God and you are going

to impact. You are going to leave your

imprint behind you, which is going to bring glory to God.

It could be your children. It can be the colleague you

share the gospel with. It can be the man on the street

you meet and stop him and say hey Jesus loves you and that man

hard. I never knew Jesus loves me.

You have said it. Thank you very much for saying

to me. I want to believe this Jesus.

That imprint will remain and it will be rewarded.

It will be rewarded. So your life is not to be lived

in isolation, but it is inclusion.

Gods plan includes your experience, your struggle, your

pain, your joy, your everything. All nations will be blessed

through you. So those who have faith are

blessed along with Abraham, the man of faith.

If you have faith, that's the only ingredient you need.

It doesn't say you need to have intelligence, you need to have

money, you need to be wealthy, you need to have business, you

need to have no, no, no. These are not the things that

are qualifying anyone to receive this.

We must have faith. That's the currency of heaven

and when you have faith you are going to change the world for

yourself and for many people. The whole question is, is our

faith a living faith or a date faith?

Sometimes we are happy to have the five minute morning ritual

read ones simple portion or follow through. 5 minutes done.

You put the alarm. OK, I stop at verse 13 because I

could read only 13 verses today in 5 minutes.

That's enough for me, not more, not less.

And then say a simple prayer, God bless this day, bless my

business, bless my family, bless my children.

You get up and go and that's what you do week, day after day

after day. That's a dead faith.

I would call it dead faith. Living faith takes God at His

word and believes Him and says, what do you want to do?

Through my life? I surrender myself to you.

I yield myself to you. And when you do that, the Holy

Spirit says, yes, I have been waiting for you to say that.

I have been waiting for you to say that.

And He takes your life over and it is going to be different.

It will not be the same. So he says about the verse 10 to

14 is all about how the law became a curse, not a blessing.

Law brings a curse, not a blessing.

So all who rely on observing the law are under a curse.

For his written cursed is everyone who does not continue

to do everything written in the book of the Law.

What exactly it means is actually quoting from

Deuteronomy, I think chapter 27. The law is given for us to obey

and it says anybody who does these things will live by.

It is not in vain. God did not give a law that will

not give life. But the problem is no one can do

it 100%. You tell lie once in your life,

the rest of your life you do whatever the law says.

You have failed already. 1 instance of breaking the law

brings the curse, not a blessing.

Now the next thing that you see here is clearly no one is

justified before God by the law because the righteous will live

by faith. See this is the the most

powerful sentence that Paul writes here is OK law is going

to bring curse. Then what is the answer to it?

The answer is no one is justified before God by the law

because the righteous will live by faith.

This is the same thing you see in Romans chapter one verse 17

that just shall live by faith. It is the same thing you see in

the book of Hebrews is the same thing you see in the Old

Testament. A prophet called Habakkuk, he

says the just shall live by faith.

So in so many different places God has put the same words

progressively making it clear to us, what does it mean to

believe, what does it mean to become righteous, what does it

mean to become righteous? And how to have faith and be

righteous? So the law, the righteous will

live by faith. The law is not based on faith.

On the contrary, the man who does these things will live by

them. Christ redeemed us from the

curse of the law by becoming a curse for us.

Now this is the most central idea that Paul is developing.

OK, you have the law. If you do it 100%, you are going

to live by it, but you cannot do it becomes a curse to you.

How do you go? You have to have faith.

The just shall live by faith. The righteous will become.

The righteous shall live by faith.

And those who walk in faith are the ones who are going to become

righteous. If that's what it is, Jesus

steps in and he fulfills the law 100% so that and he dies upon

the cross because it is written. Crust is anyone who hangs on a

tree. Was there a tree on which people

used to hang before? Yeah, they should stone people

to death first. First they will kill the person

for offending and then they'll hang up on a on a pole as a

lesson to everybody. So they should not do anything

wrong. That's what they should do in

the Old Testament times. But in the case of Jesus Christ,

He was put on the cross alive. He was not dead and then lifted

up. He was put alive upon the cross,

nailed to the cross, and He suffered and took the pain so

that that curse that comes to the law may be broken because of

His obedience. You are set free from the curse.

He became a curse by hanging up on the cross alive, not dead.

That's the difference between the Old Testament execution and

the New Testament Roman execution.

They don't kill and then hang on the cross.

They hang on the cross until they die.

So Jesus experienced it so that we can be set free from the

curse of the law. It is a costly, very, very

costly price that he paid so that we can be a blessing.

How? Not by doing the law, but by

believing in Jesus. You believe in Jesus, you

believe in Jesus. That's all you need to do to

receive this righteousness, to be accounted righteous, to be

received by heaven, received by God.

All that you need is just that faith in Jesus Christ.

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might

come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, not only for

Gentiles, even for the Jews, the same thing applicable.

Everybody has to come by faith in Jesus Christ.

That's the reason why he says, you know, when he when he talks

about Abraham, he actually saying, when did he receive?

When was his faith created as righteousness to him?

Was it before circumcision or after circumcision?

You see this verse 15-6, Genesis 15-6 Abraham believed God.

It was a record of righteousness.

Genesis 15-6 And then you have Genesis chapter 17.

Genesis 17 · chapter mention

In Genesis chapter 17, he was circumcised and all the family

Genesis 17 · chapter mention

was circumcised. Genesis 17.

I'll read from verse 23 onwards. On that very day, Abraham took

his son Ishmael and all those born in his household are bought

with his money every male in his household and circumcised them

as God told him. Abraham was 99 years old when he

was circumcised and his son Ishmael was 13.

Abraham and his son Ishmael were both circumcised on this very

day and every male in Abraham's household, including those born

in his household are bought from a foreigner was circumcised with

him. Why is going so much extensively

writing about it? Because it is what defined a

Jewish male on the if they are born on the 8th day, they will

be circumcised. They've take pride in it.

We are circumcised people and they call the Gentiles

uncircumcised people uncircumcised because they don't

have a covenant with God. They are not having a covenant.

They don't have a deal with God basically.

So he received circumcision as a seal of his faith.

He did not have, He was not justified because he was

circumcised, justified because of faith.

So faith preceded it. That's the reason why Paul did

not begin with Moses. He did not talk about all these

things. Oh, Moses gave us A10

commandments. He didn't start there.

Instead he started. He went back 400 years or more,

little more than 400 years and went back to the life of Abraham

because he was not having the law given to him yet.

And he was justified because of the faith.

And he becomes the role model for every man and every woman in

the world and they are going to be justified by faith in Jesus

Christ. Does it make sense?

Gospel, you know, gospel does not make sense until we

understand the Old Testament, the background because he's

embedded in it, and until we understand how God was revealing

little by little. The force of the gospel does not

come through anybody. You can stop on the road and

say, hey, Jesus died for you. He loves you.

Do you want to believe him? He says, hey, I want to believe,

OK, Ask him to come into your heart.

Ask him to forgive your sin. He doesn't fully understand the

gospel at all, but he still receives life.

He still receives life, the eternal life he receives by

faith. But you want to appreciate it.

You want to understand the depths of God's wisdom, his

power and his glory. That is by studying the all that

is there in the Scripture. And then it hits you, the

revelation hits you with power, humbles you and says, God, you

are so awesome. So what he began in chapter 3,

verse 2, what did he begin there?

In verse 2 he talks about, I would like to learn just one

thing from you. Did you receive the Spirit by

observing the law or by believing what he heard?

In verse 2 and verse 5, what does he say?

Again, verse 5, he says, does God give you His Spirit and work

miracles among you because you observe the law or because you

believe what he heard? You believe what you hear.

You believe what you hear. If you don't hear, you believe

nothing. That's the reason why gospel has

to be shared, spoken so that somebody can hear and somebody

can believe. And then now he comes down to

verse 14 and he says, what does he say in verse 14?

He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might

come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith

we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

By faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.

It begins with the question, have you received the Spirit?

And it ends with, if you believe, this is the, this is

the dynamics, this is the process God had gone through.

This is how he qualifies you. This is how he accomplished it.

So if you believe it, you are receiving the Holy Spirit.

I'm telling you, this is this is it.

This is the gospel in fullness, that we believe and receive the

Holy Spirit, and that Holy Spirit is given as a deposit.

And then when you say God, I need more power so that I can be

a witness for you. And you receive the baptism of

the Holy Spirit. You have dunked in the Holy

Spirit. And then you receive the gift of

speaking in tongues, which is a sign.

And the is it possible for someone to be filled with the

Holy Spirit, baptize in the Holy Spirit, not speaking in tongues?

Maybe I am not too sure about it.

I cannot say 100%. I believe that.

But you already have the Holy Spirit sometimes.

Therefore the deposit itself can do a lot more than you imagine.

Somebody can function on the deposit.

I want to, I want to function on the fullness.

Am I making sense here? You have 100,000 deposit to buy

a house and you you rest of your life.

You can think you bought the house, but the house cost $1

million, so you have to pay more, you have to put more into

it. And God says this more is here

for you to own the house. I want the whole of the money.

I want the whole of the house. I don't want to be happy with

just one hundred 100,000. Am I making clear here?

So we need more of the Holy Spirit and it comes only by

faith. You just have to come to Him and

say, God, you have promised more, come into me now.

Fill me now with your Spirit. All that you have to say.

You don't have to feel anything. I'm telling you again, you don't

have to feel anything, but God is mercy.

He gives you feelings. He gives you that warmth.

Your body will feel warm, so the top of your head to social of

it. You will feel the flushing of

the Holy Spirit and you will feel warm and sometimes you may

shake, sometimes you may jump. Sometimes something may happen

and nothing happens quietly. You feel, you feel that warmth

washing over your belly becomes warm and you, you will know that

you have been touched by God. You are touched by God and hang

on to it. Everything is by faith.

Everything is by faith. You speak in tongues by faith,

you pray for healing by faith. You cast out demons by faith.

There's nothing that you do without faith, but you have to

believe it. When you say I want the Holy

Spirit, you have to believe that he gives you the same second you

don't pray God. I want to.

I want you to dunk me, the Holy Spirit.

I don't think anything happened. Now when I was baptized, people

told me some stories about being baptized by the Holy Spirit as

well. So I expected something is going

to happen. They put me in the water, pulled

me out of the water. I didn't feel anything.

I didn't feel anything for several reasons.

One, the church in where I was baptized didn't believe.

They didn't believe the gifts of the Holy Spirit.

They didn't believe in the power of the Holy Spirit.

And when the preachers who are baptizing you don't believe in

it, you are not going to have any experience of that where you

only can receive what they have. So I didn't feel anything.

They sought it for many years and then when somebody wanted to

really pray for me, they pushed me down.

Instead of Maine falling down by the fall of the Holy Spirit,

they pushed me down. I was disappointed, but

ultimately overcame everything by faith.

I said Now I believe one day I had to tell God, I always have

doubted that you have baptized me with your Spirit.

But today, from today, I don't want to doubt that I have been

baptized by a Holy Spirit. And next evening the Holy Spirit

spoke to me 33 years afterwards. You can be a Christian for any

number of years, but we need to overcome the doubt.

We need to overcome unbelief and say here am I, I believe, I

believe, I stand on it, here they will stand up on it.

I am saved, I am delivered. You cannot have any power over

me. I stand by faith and I am going

to shake you. You cannot shake me grace

suffer, shall not be, shall not stand against me.

I am saved, I am healed, I am filled with the Holy Spirit.

I shall walk in power because the Spirit of God is living in

me. Its up to you how you arrived

there. You believe it, you take it.

No one can force you. This is a holy ground.

You have to say. I take off my shoes and step

onto the holy ground. It's by faith.

You will see the burning Bush by faith, not by your feeling.

Shall we pray? Father God, I thank you for your

word. Thank you for the challenge I've

given us for the year 2026. We thank for the vision you gave

me a few years ago that you're bringing a tsunami.

It's going to sweep through the churches, go through the

churches. It's going to shake Canterbury,

it's going to shake Selwyn. It's going to shake the South

Island. It will shake the whole of New

Zealand and spill over it to the rest of the world.

I believe, I believe, I believe you have spoken to me and I

believe you will do it in your time.

And I'm only asking you, my Father, God, the one who is the

in charge of the harvest, lot of the harvest.

I am asking that you send people here to the glory of your name.

Send people whom you have chosen, send people whom you

have chosen to shake the world. Bring them here, give faith,

fill them with the Spirit and make the mighty men and women of

God to the glory of your name, that they may go and impact the

whole city to the glory of your name.

Thank you Jesus, for the vision and let the church catch up with

the vision and say I want to see that revival come.

I want the tsunami to come. I want to be part of it,

everybody to have that hunger and thirst.

And of all, I pray that they may decide to have this experience

of being filled with the Holy Spirit and not doubt it, not

doubt it. Let them say to you, I will not

doubt it anymore. You have filled me with your

spirit and walk in faith, speak in tongues by faith, cast out

demons by faith and heal people by faith, because that's your

plan. And I worship you, honour you,

Lord Father. Now somebody here says, says no,

no, I want to make something. A remarkable thing I want to do

in my life is to say I will not doubt God anymore.

I want to believe that He has filled me with His Spirit.

Just stand where you are and I am going to pray for you.

Santakarani mahastare sharastare kasurono manarashi Bandarano,

this Tana Masakuruni. I will not doubt that I am

filling the Holy Spirit anymore. I want to walk with the Holy

Spirit. I want to be guided by him.

I want him to put his hand up on me.

I want him to steady my walk, my gate, In the name of Jesus

Christ of Nazareth, I really come.

I mean bring your children, my father.

Those who want to not doubt you anymore, they want to walk with

you. They want to see your power.

They want to be guided by you. They will be protected by you.

My Father, I pray order in this. Take their hand now put your

hand on their head and release that Holy Spirit, anointing of

the Holy Spirit be released upon you now.

Take it, take it, take it, drink it deep.

In the name of Jesus, take it deep.

Hosa Baranamanahandra rabba haiki shakti khanda basare maro

ronima rabba ronima Saba rekha shanda sakirani.

Hey. In the name of Jesus, we stand

by faith. And we trampled down Satan,

trampled down the devil, trampled down temptations,

everything in the name of Jesus. And we shall be holy people, we

shall be holy people, we shall be holy people, and we shall

challenge the enemy and throw him out from every place we see

in the name of Jesus by the Father, Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit,

flood the spirit, soul and body now and give them that knowledge

that only in the inside of the Spirit they know that they are

filled with the Spirit and never doubt it, to the glory of your

name. And such people are the ones who

are going to shake the world. I pray now that that will be

this by the elimination of the Holy Spirit right now, the glory

of your name, Jesus, mighty name.

We ask. Everybody says Amen.
