  2. teaching by Dr. Reginald Klemenov. Dr. Klemenov's preaching has touched the lives of many inspiring

  3. and challenging audiences with his deep insights into the Bible and Christian theology. Join

  4. us as we delve deep into his powerful messages uncovering timeless truth and practical wisdom

  5. that can transform our lives today. Get ready to be inspired, encouraged and equipped as

  6. we journey through the rich tapestry of Dr. Klemenov's preaching.

  7. We're going tonight on Breaking Through the Barrier. We are human beings of this earth,

  8. earthly. We live in this terra firma, in this terrestrial realm. We have humus, humus, humans.

  9. We have a physical body of flesh and bones and literally every part of your body when

  10. it goes to the ground returns to the dust. It's all particles of that. God is spirit.

  11. God is celestial. God is eternal. As real as we are. Now how can we break through this

  12. barrier between ourselves and God? Tonight and those who visit us, we don't have that

  13. often just like that. Tonight, just God came down, not created by anything we did, but

  14. he came. There were preparations of heart. I know that. But how can we break through

  15. this barrier from the natural into the spiritual? How can we break through? One day we will

  16. when we die. If we know we're Christians, if we love the Lord, we're going to be with

  17. Christ. Paul said that. That's wonderful. But it's not designed only when we die because

  18. eternity is as real as now. But God has designed for us that even today we have the privilege

  19. of breaking through. Can you say amen? He has ways and means whereby we can break through

  20. into that throne room. The greatest struggle we have is to really enter that presence of

  21. God and really touch God and really break from the natural. It's like a scientist that

  22. is working through a formula and suddenly he finds the key that unlocks or inventors

  23. who've got great inventions that worked at it for years and suddenly it works. And it's

  24. like this with God. Now may I begin to say that not every prayer is answered. Not all

  25. prayers reach God. Not all people pray. In India I know they will get into a grotto which

  26. is less than the size of their body and breathe there three months, three weeks, three years,

  27. three hours to stay there trying to get God. Or they'll prostrate themselves hour by hour,

  28. day by day on the floor, every inch of the way, trying to get God. And not everybody,

  29. not everybody, not every way breaks through with God. Not everything reaches God. The

  30. Bible is very clear in 1 John 5, 14 and 15. It says if we know that he hears us, we know

  31. that we have the petition. Once we break through, we have it. Whatever we ask God. And we've

  32. got to somewhere break through. So as I begin the subject, I may sound a little bit negative

  33. first, but we've got now Godly times answer instant prayers. I know that.

  34. Let me say we used to go in Houston. We are free. We're now at about six or seven lanes

  35. there to the city where we're living in Kingwood where Duncan's living. We lived, it was only

  36. two lanes. And I was chairing Benny Hinn's meetings those days and I was going into the

  37. meeting with an icy road. It was literally snowing and suddenly just right in front of

  38. Elizabeth an accident happened on this June 2 highway. And I've never seen like it. Somehow

  39. that car went, we had a Lincoln Continental. They used to give me one of those every two

  40. weeks to church. Every two weeks, every two years the church did. And it's just as if

  41. something went, we went past and went on. Behind us, clang, bang, chatter, everything

  42. was crashing. I mean the icy road, and yet as an angel I called it a con. I just couldn't

  43. believe it. God, you see, but we cried out for a moment and God came. Sometimes God will

  44. answer instantly. Can you say amen? But there's more to prayer than this. We must somehow

  45. be able to break through with God. And you know my prayer life was very strong when I

  46. was young in the ministry. I spent days in prayer. I didn't have those disciplines even

  47. now than I had those days. Now I believe God built the ministry out of that prayer life.

  48. I mean literally I'd spend weeks of prayer in the presence of God. And when I started

  49. the ministry I went to Adelaide to help and God put me across the path in my name of Howard

  50. Blatchell when one of those brilliant theologians of this country was asked to become the principal

  51. of the Bible school in Ethiopia, didn't he? But he used to help me for two days a week,

  52. to disciple me in those days, build up my understanding of the truths of God. It was

  53. one of the most amazing times I've had in my life. But I think God does that because

  54. of what's the way you prepare in the presence of God. Can you say amen? A number of principles

  55. about breaking through with God. Number one prayer starts with hope. You must have hope

  56. if we're going to pray. Hope is very important in life. We live with hope. Hope for a better

  57. job. Hope for maybe dreaming about a better car or a boat. Some of us dream, have unusual

  58. dreams. Some of us have you know you hope for a better wife too late. You've got to

  59. pray that through and change your life. But you can hope for things. It's one of the great

  60. emotions of life. We have hope. Come on, you wouldn't have hope. You wouldn't get very

  61. far. God made us with hope. Can you agree with me? We have this capacity. Now the Bible

  62. talks about hope. It says in Hebrews 11 verse 1 that faith is the substance of things hoped

    Hebrews 11:1

  63. for. In other words, faith is nurtured in hope. Faith begins firstly with hope. When

  64. talks about Abraham's life, it says who against hope believed in hope. God used that hope

  65. to break through his life. It's a very powerful and the first Corinthians 13 the last verses

  66. says now abideth faith, hope and charity or love these three but the greatest of these

  67. is love. But there are three things. Faith, what? Hope and love. So it's crucial. It's

  68. a crucial part of our life for us to have. Now the greatest for example, the greatest

  69. hope is as Titus 1 says in the hope of eternal life which God that cannot lie promised. We

  70. have hope that one day we're going to be with Jesus. Can you say amen? And it says God which

  71. cannot lie. God said it. God spoke it. That settles it. Amen church. Which God that cannot

  72. lie promised. We have hope in the coming of Christ. We see so many unusual evidences in

  73. this world today, unusual signs. Things are happening around us that are almost horrendous.

  74. Wars are no more fought like they used to be fought. We have wars in the backyard anywhere

  75. in London last few weeks what happened there. And then in Kusadasi just two days ago was

  76. it yesterday, another bomb exploded and in a tourist area in Turkey, Kusadasi and in

  77. the Ephesus. And it's just seemingly a world of difference of unbelievable terror could

  78. happen here, could happen anywhere. And we just have we trust the Lord. But the world

  79. is coming in a most unusual place these days. Thank God for hope. The Bible talks to Christians

  80. in 1 John 3, 3, 3, 3 says looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of

  81. our God and Savior Jesus Christ. So we're looking for him. He had this hope that says

  82. that purify themselves. So we have hope. Thank God for that. But there's also that hope that

  83. is nurtured to see the fulfillment of what God has promised us. What God wants us to

  84. have to experience to know and it starts with hope. For example, the Romans chapter 8, Book

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  85. of Romans chapter 8, it says verse 24, it says, for you are saved by hope, but hope

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  86. that is seen is not hope for the man see it was he had hope. So we can't see this is this

  87. is the you know, if I could just make a lovely package out of this whole stuff and physically

  88. could see it and say that this is your salvation, just take it. Wouldn't that be easy? But you

  89. have to step into a realm called hope. And that hope brings faith and faith brings something

  90. to you or by you know, for example, how many do not know they're saved here? How many know

  91. they're saved? Now that's, you know, what happened? Did you somebody bang you on the

  92. head physically? You know, it's a spiritual experience, but it's real. Come on, church.

  93. And it becomes somehow to me my salvation is as real as my wife is to me. It's like

  94. a substance to me, whereby I know that I know I belong to Christ. Can somebody agree with

  95. me that it starts with hope, you cannot see it, but it's real. Can you say amen? And so

  96. prayer breaking through starts with hope. Also prayer and not by praying breaking through

  97. the barrier breaking through so that we know we've reached God. True prayer praying the

  98. spirit of prayer has in it force, volume, intensity, passion. In James four, the apostle

  99. Paul says, James four, five, five, five, James five, 15. The prayer note says the effectual

  100. fervent prayer of a righteous man has tremendous power. When you look at those words there,

  101. it's not just saying words. It has intensity. It has force. It has passion. It has feeling.

  102. You see the world of God's Holy Spirit allows intensity. It comes at times with tremendous

  103. impressions comes with what I call even with velocity. I'll explain force direction endurance.

  104. There's more to this stuff than we realize. It has a lot of emotions, a lot of factors

  105. in it that bring about the awesome presence and power of God Almighty. There's something

  106. about that you enter that reaches God powerfully. Now, I don't know much about guns. Never had

  107. a gun, never possessed a gun. But when you get into Texas, you've got to learn something

  108. about guns because everybody has guns. My son's got a brilliant rifle that he got given

  109. to him worth about a thousand dollars. He's never used it, thank God. Everybody carries

  110. guns in Texas. Some parts of Texas walk down the street to walk like this in guns. I mean

  111. that. When I first got this, I went to Texas to the Hill Country. Houston is as far as

  112. you can see. Houston has the freeways to go up like this and then the hills of Houston.

  113. That's the Hill Country. I thought that's interesting. I'll see some hills. We went

  114. to the Hill Country and the little hills like that, that was the Hill Country. We went to

  115. eat there in one of those real country places. I mean they walked in like this. They even

  116. wear these massive hats. The moment I came at the airport, they gave me this massive

  117. Texan hat there. About a hundred people met us at the airport or 200, whatever it was.

  118. They gave me this hat and these guys wear this Texan hat, wear it sitting in the restaurant,

  119. you know, don't take it off. It's another world, another world. Guns, guns. I learned

  120. a little bit about guns. When you talk about this, and I don't know much about this stuff,

  121. when you talk about the velocity of the speed, it depends upon the diameter of the bullet,

  122. the power and the casing determines the velocity. How many of you know something about guns

  123. here? You do. Wow. I've seen you shoot it. I know that. That brings the speed. Now for

  124. example, if I'm shooting a 264 Winchester Magnum rifle, I'm told, I have learned from

  125. Houston, you put into it a.264 diameter bullet. It has a casing that holds fast burning powder.

  126. It has the velocity as speed off as you send it out of 3,800 feet per second. That is fast.

  127. Tremendous speed. I believe 200 yards away, if you point there, it will only drop about

  128. 3 inches. That 200 feet is a long way. It's a long way. That thing shoots speed, tremendous

  129. speed, tremendous velocity, tremendous speed before it hits the target. I believe there's

  130. something in God where you, like tonight, those who know what happened, I just knew

  131. God had come. Something happened to my body. It's gone. It stayed for a few minutes, it's

  132. gone. When I was having these meetings, it would come. I haven't had it much and I said,

  133. Lord, it's enough. Come on. Do the same here that you've done as I move around and tonight,

  134. it just came. You know what happened. I didn't create that. I had nothing to do with it.

  135. It's the presence of God Almighty. Are you with me? It's wonderful.

  136. I want to somehow teach you. Daniel made an interesting statement. I was reading this

  137. week. It's an interesting thought here. Daniel the great prayer warrior that prayed for Israel

  138. when they're in bondage under Babylonian captivity. He said in Daniel 9, verse 7, O Lord, righteousness

    Daniel 9:7

  139. belongeth unto thee, but to us confusion of faces as to this day. Again, he repeats verse

  140. 8, O Lord, to us belongeth confusion. Some people, this powerful man of God, they interceded

  141. for the nation of Israel whose angel came to them. Jesus came to them there. Awesome

  142. power came. The next chapter, you read it, but he says to us belongs confusion. Some

  143. people are like that, confused, trying to break through. How can I break through in

  144. prayer with God? How can I shoot that bullet? How can my prayers push right through and

  145. have the miracle and have what God? See, God's got to be real to us. Can you say amen? I

  146. do not want just religion. I'm not interested just to have religion.

  147. Now, people will tell you I gave to a Spanish sister, where is she tonight? She's somewhere

  148. here. Gave her four or five videos when I was speaking in Panama, six, seven, eight

  149. thousand people. When people are ready, you can sense something just breaks through with

  150. awesome power. I'm asking God to do that here. Can you say amen? I really believe Australia

  151. has lost it. We have nice meetings. When we have great exciting meetings, it's still not

  152. breaking through as far as I'm concerned because I'm not just interested in exciting meetings

  153. and then go away with excitement. That's good, but I want to break through. Can somebody

  154. say amen? I long to see God. We had a powerful service tonight, this morning, but I long

  155. to see God break through. Now, how can we break through? This is my question. How can

  156. we go from the natural into God's realm, from the terrestrial to the celestial? It'd be

  157. wonderful if we could get up every morning and at the end of our bed, the angels were

  158. singing and the choir of heaven was open. We just get up and say, good morning, Jesus.

  159. It'd be marvelous, but it's not like that. We get up and our flesh is full of the flesh

  160. and we're trying to break through. We're trying to get up to pray, get through to God. A lot

  161. of people are very wonderful in church service. I'm interested in what you like in the mornings.

  162. How much of God you have when you get up in the mornings. What you do when nobody else

  163. sees you. How much of God is there. How strong you are in the Lord, not just in church. What

  164. your voice is like when you're not here in this service. Hello, church. Now, we need

  165. help. Can you agree with that? How to break through. We have great help. Go to Romans

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  166. chapter 8, please. The book of Romans chapter 8. The apostle Paul says in verses 25 and

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  167. 27. No. Verse 26. Likewise, the spirit also help with our infirmities. We know that what

  168. we should pray for as we ought. We don't know. Sometimes we don't know how to break through.

  169. But the Spirit himself making the session for us with groaning itself. That's not a proper

  170. translation himself. He's not in it. He's a person with groanings which cannot be uttered.

  171. He that searcheth the hearts, knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit because he make

  172. in the session for the saints according to the will of God. Now, notice he says he helps

  173. our infirmities. The word infirmities, the word asthenia are weaknesses. Are confusion.

  174. Let's be honest. Sometimes we don't know how to break through. The other night I was

  175. in his presence praying and I said, God. And I opened to Daniel. To us belongs confusion.

  176. Thank you Lord. You're speaking to me. But to you, there's no problem. That's how I got

  177. this message. To you there's no problem. You know it all. But at times, let's be honest.

  178. We struggle with this stuff. But it says the God has sent us what? The Holy Spirit. And

  179. the Holy Spirit helps our infirmities. Now, we have great models of prayer. I have written

  180. the Lord's Prayer Book. It's a powerful model. I use that to break through with God

  181. and it works. I often do this when I walk even at home. I have the Tabernacle Prayer

  182. which is again a very powerful way to break through with God. And these are all wonderful

  183. keys that we should use regularly in our lives. I believe that with all my heart. But we need

  184. more than the house, more than books. We need the Holy Spirit. Because he helps our asthenia,

  185. our weaknesses when we don't know what to pray for, how to pray. So I have a struggle

  186. with that. We all have struggles. You know Lord in this. You could stay in faith. It's

  187. very important what I told you this morning. Your tongue is very crucial what you say.

  188. But there is this infirmity of the flesh. We don't know at times how to break through.

  189. But we have a wonderful person. Can you say amen? The Holy Spirit is in the searching

  190. business. See, we're searching after God. But God is searching our heart. He that searcheth

  191. the heart knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit. And make it in the session for us,

  192. through us in this prayer according. Thank God for the Holy Ghost. Can somebody agree

  193. with me? I talked about the Holy Spirit not this last Sunday but the Sunday before. That's

  194. correct. What a wonderful time. He showed up in wonderful power. Actually we're having

  195. meetings that I don't know if you realize. Don't lose what God is doing because of size.

  196. Are you with me? Don't lose it because we're not thousands. But we're seeing things at

  197. this moment like that meeting on the Holy Spirit. As far as I'm concerned, that was

  198. awesome. And you can just let it all pass by. God is not concerned about size as much

  199. as we are. And if I have the wrong motivation for size, it doesn't work. Some of the greatest

  200. teachings of Jesus was with a handful of people in homes or with amongst his disciples, a

  201. bunch of twelve. So it's not, God's not the same business that we are because it's a great

  202. confession, convention in America and tens of thousands of people. Wonderful. But size

  203. is not the issue with God. He searched at what? He didn't say, I will search the size

  204. and will bless them. He says, he that searcheth the heart knoweth what is the mind of the

  205. spirit. He knows what God can do. God's got no problems. Hello church. God's not walking

  206. up and down in heaven saying, what am I going to do? I don't know any about this guy. He

  207. knows the very hairs of my head. Hello church. He's not walking up and down saying, what's

  208. going on in this world? Come on, understand this. He knows exactly what's going on. He

  209. doesn't even say that. He didn't say, what can I do about it? He knows exactly what he's

  210. going to do. You've got a big God. Come on church. We have the problem getting to him,

  211. but he's searching our hearts for us to break through. Doesn't he say that basically? We

  212. can pray because he knows our weakness, our limitations. What happened to David? He's

  213. babysitting. Oh that's good. He got touched and now he's babysitting. Good. That's wonderful.

  214. God bless him so that you can hear the word. That's good. But he can break through. Can

  215. he say amen? Now remember, prayer is not blasting all the time. Sometimes you can do a bit of

  216. blasting if you wish, but it also says, be still and know that I am God. It's not just

  217. wild and understanding, but it's all kinds of things that bring the presence of God.

  218. Sometimes you sit before the Lord in his presence. In his presence, God is there. There's nothing

  219. like his presence. There's a great danger for us to think that I know in America, in

  220. certain parts of America, unless you had a time where everybody dances in the arts and

  221. it's only then you've had God. I'm not convinced that that's necessarily God. That is a human

  222. expression of what we are happy about in our life. I'm not against that. I remember once

  223. Pastor Haddon was a very sophisticated person in church. He wanted to impress that person.

  224. His dear old saint is to get into the aisle and have a little dance. He preached his best

  225. message and he did his best he could do. Suddenly this lady took off in the aisle and he says,

  226. I've lost it. As the man was leaving, he said, well, what do you think of that? He said,

  227. well, your message wasn't too bad, but if I had what that lady had, I'd be a happy man.

  228. So not always is it what we think. Agreed? But there's all kinds of responses, all kinds

  229. of ways that we break through. The key is for us firstly to know and understand. If

  230. we know what we're doing is right and we can add faith to it, correct? If we know that

  231. what we are doing will get us through to God, we can add faith to it. Do you agree with

  232. me? And something will happen at that moment in our life if we know what we're doing and

  233. we will have enormous results. If you know what you're doing, you can put faith to it.

  234. You say, I'm doing my best. Doing your best is not enough. They do their best in India.

  235. The Muslims do their best. Hello? I mean, they don't care what you think. They'll be

  236. in an airport. I've seen them put the rug out in Europe and just start praying. They

  237. ain't going to know who you are. They'll find out where Mecca is and off they go. They're

  238. doing their best. Doing your best is not enough. You can be ignorant and miss out. It's why

  239. they were ignorant of God's righteousness when they established their own righteousness

  240. and never got God's righteousness. So that's not enough. Are you with me? That's not sufficient

  241. for us. Now remember, let's go back to this. The Spirit

  242. help with our infirmities, our weaknesses. We don't know what we should pray for as we

  243. ought. So there's this barrier between us and God, this barrier that we've got to break

  244. through and that's my determination tonight. Now, the reason why we struggle is because

  245. this what I call the human limitations of the flesh. You know, I'd love to bring you

  246. on a spiritual high all the time. It would be marvelous. We'll get into a high with God

  247. and that would be wonderful. But you see, it doesn't work like that all the way. We

  248. have this stuff called the flesh, where we live in. Unless you deal with this flesh,

  249. it'll always keep you down and under. Now there's all kinds of flesh. In Philippians

  250. chapter three, Paul said he had no confidence in the flesh. And he says, he talks about,

  251. you know, all these things, the 8th day of the stock of Israel, the trial of Benjamin,

  252. the Hebrews concerning zeal of pursuing the church, touching righteousness. This is what

  253. he was like. Here the flesh is the religious stuff. You can have a very ordinary life,

  254. this life that never breaks through with God. You may say, well, you know, I have this history

  255. of religion, but it can simply be a fleshly thing that has never broken through with God.

  256. Paul had that and he says, it didn't do me any good. A Hebrew of the Hebrew of the Pharisees,

  257. of the tribe of Benjamin. Great man had all this stuff. He calls that the flesh. So that's

  258. that part that hinders us. Then there's also in Galatians chapter six, it says, walk not

  259. in the flesh, but in the spirit. So there's the flesh there of sinful things. Roman six

  260. talks about that we crucify the flesh. That flesh can stop us. That flesh can stand in

  261. the way of the things of God in our life. Remember that scripture in Romans, it says

  262. the Holy Spirit help us our what? Infermities. And I, in my book on overcoming the giants,

  263. I've got a chapter in the Holy Spirit in Romans chapter eight, and I deal with some of those

  264. infirmities, what they are. The infirmities that, I mean, we somehow have to pray in the

  265. morning. How do you get up and pray? It's called the flesh. Some of us up, down, up,

  266. down, up, down like yo-yos as Christians. What is that? The flesh. One day, hallelujah.

  267. And next to it, oh my, oh me. And the flesh is still pervading within us. We haven't crucified

  268. the flesh. You know, we say, oh, like the guy said, I'm going to serve God from now

  269. on. He doesn't have to go to church next Sunday. Why didn't he? Well, I slept in. No, it doesn't

  270. compute with me, except I know it's the flesh. If you really mean you're going to serve God

  271. with all your might and heart, you get an alarm clock. You get there. I mean, I have

  272. never, in 45 years of ministry, I've hardly ever missed a Sunday. Never have I missed

  273. a Sunday. Now you say you're proud. No, I'm not proud. I thank God. Well, I've had to

  274. because I've been the preacher. But the flesh, the flesh. So often the flesh hinders. Come

  275. on. Can you understand that? The flesh stands in the way. Now in Romans chapter 8, it also

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  276. talks about the mind of the flesh or the mind of the spirit. So there's another realm of

  277. the flesh there. Unless we renew our mind daily with God, are you with me? We get fleshly

  278. in our mind. If you have the mind of the flesh, it says we never grow, we die, we lose what

  279. God has. There's a flesh part, please listen to me, that we not need to break through this

  280. barrier, the physical flesh, even maybe sometimes the sinful flesh, the religious flesh. And

  281. that's why we don't live in commitment. We don't do all that God wants us to do because

  282. we're still in this business called the flesh. We've got to crucify it. Can somebody say

  283. amen? See, we don't see the unseen. We don't see the spirit world. We're so temple creatures.

  284. Temple creatures of time and sense. God is eternal. He's just as real. But Jesus in John

  285. 17 made a very profound statement concerning this as he's praying. He says here, I am not

  286. of this world. He says, but what's the verse there? I think verse 11. He says, I am no

  287. more of this world, but these are in the world. I come to thee, Holy Father. He had broken

  288. through. And he says, I am no more. I'm going back to you, Father. I'm going to be with

  289. you, but they're still in this world. And you're in this world, like it or not. It's

  290. these three times that deliver us from this evil world as he prays for them. We still

  291. live in this world. He broke through, of course. He's our great intercessor. He's the Son of

  292. God, but we are still breaking through. Can you say amen? And now I want to break through.

  293. Now, in John Matthew 4, it says, �Man shall live by the blood of man, but by every word

  294. that proceedeth.� Jesus said that to the devil. And the word means that God is speaking

  295. all the time there. The mood, the tense, Dr. Terry, he did some work with me on that. It

  296. means that God is talking all the time. We don't hear him enough. We could just stop

  297. and listen. God is talking. God has many things to say to you. You can only hear it. Break

  298. through. Break through. Can you say amen? He's ever searching the heart, trying to raise

  299. to � You see, you're not getting a hold of God's reluctance. You're not sitting up

  300. there and saying, �Now, come on. Push through, boy. When you push through enough, then you've

  301. made it.� No, no. He's eagerly trying to help you break through. Can somebody say amen?

  302. Eagerly. He invites us to come to the throne. But we've got to break through. We have the

  303. job as ours. He has given us Jesus Christ who has broken every barrier, the sin barrier,

  304. even the flesh barrier, to crucify that. He's given us the Holy Spirit, has He, who wants

  305. to break through, who wants to pray through us? Are you with me? He's done it all, but

  306. we have got to break through. I don't think we believe fully the power of this breaking

  307. through prayer life. If we really believed it would be the biggest meeting in the church,

  308. it would be the prayer meeting. It's like putting teeth in some churches to get people

  309. out to the prayer meeting, not going to a dentist. You know? Anything about that, Lord?

  310. Because we don't believe the power of prayer. We don't believe we can break through. Come

  311. on. Let's be honest. Think of weakness as sending you the flesh. But we can break through.

  312. Are you with me? That's what I'm trying to get hold of. We've got to get out of the flesh

  313. and of the spirit. Are you with me? Are you with me? Let's grab hold of this. God is speaking.

  314. God wants us to know. What was Christ, the key of Christ's ministry? He says in John

  315. 17 and 18, I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me, and they have received

  316. them. He heard God's words. He received them. We likewise can receive from God if we spend

  317. time, if we break through the flesh. Can you say amen? If we can only take hold of it and

  318. see, when God came to Adam, he hid in the garden. We hide in our houses, in our work,

  319. in our business, in our emotions. We keep hiding. We keep hiding away from the potential

  320. of power of life there is in God. And we've got to break through. Can you say amen? That's

  321. why I'm doing this tonight, to get to the place where you say, I can, I will break through

  322. with God. Come on, Church. And God will do great things. Can you say amen? He will do

  323. great things for us. The barriers of God, it's our problem. We're in the flesh, captives,

  324. hostages to the terra firma. That's why we have to pray. That's why we have to push through.

  325. I don't know how many of you have the experience, when you start praying, it's like, ugh. But

  326. if you start off, and once you start praying, you're there. And it's marvelous. You've broken

  327. through. You've broken through a dimension. When you don't want to read the Word, everything

  328. will come your way to stop you reading the Word. I mean, you have every thought of what

  329. you're supposed to do, who you're supposed to see. We'll eat some more food or something.

  330. I've got to do this, I've got to do this. But once you start and shut the door and get

  331. alone with God, you break through. Because you've broken through this flesh, through

  332. this barrier that stands between us and the others, of course, never do because they say,

  333. I'm too sinful. Jesus bore that sin. Jesus broke that barrier for you. No one can say

  334. they're not worthy. He is the worthy one. Can you say amen? He is the sufficient one.

  335. He is the answer to what we need. Can you say amen? He has the solution to our problems.

  336. And we can break it. Go to Romans 8 for me. Let's read this because there's some very

  337. powerful thoughts there. Paul knew this. He says then, verse 5, for they that are in the

  338. flesh, Romans 8, to mind the things of the flesh. This is just natural life. I'm not

  339. talking about the evil flesh there. It's just ordinary life. They're in the spirit to mind

  340. the things of the spirit. For to be kind in mind is death, but the spiritual mind is life

  341. and peace. Because the kind of mind is enmity against God. It's not subject to the laws

  342. of God, neither can it be. So they that are in the flesh cannot please God. But then he

  343. says this, but you're not in the flesh, but in the spirit. If so be that the spirit of

  344. God will. What do you have? You have the Holy Spirit. Many men have not the spirit of Christ.

  345. So when you've received Christ, you have the capacity to break through. Can you say amen

  346. to that? You do. And if Christ has been near, the body is dead because of sin, but the spirit

  347. is alive because of righteousness. And so you have something in you from God that can

  348. break through to God. Can you say amen? Because you know God, you could something in, if you

  349. can make room for that and set the flesh aside, you can break through. Can you say amen? You

  350. can break through because you're not in the flesh, but also these unusual words in the

  351. spirit. If so be that the spirit of God, when you that's talking about the spirit of Christ,

  352. when you receive Christ, you have got the spirit of God. Can you say amen? Then you

  353. have the Holy Spirit who helps us break through, who helps us, but get the flesh aside. Go

  354. to that door and shut it no matter what and put a door against it that nobody can get

  355. in. Say I'm here Lord, I've broken through the flesh. Thank you Jesus this morning. I

  356. give you half an hour. There's coffee time or there's work time. But what I'm saying

  357. is this stuff we've got to break through. Can you what I'm trying to say is this God

  358. is spirit, as we do now, as you know, your flesh, terra firma, humans, human, you're

  359. just this earth. We have something within us whereby we can break through to God. Can

  360. you say amen? We do have. Like Sister tonight was saying, I mean God touched you. Where

  361. did the tears come? Did I say something miserable to you? That the tears came? What did this

  362. presence come? What happens when that heat came? I mean who creates it? There's a little

  363. bottle underneath you where nobody could see for a minute. I mean one Sister that for days

  364. that heat on her body. Hello. It's God that comes. It's God that visits us. Are you with

  365. me? It's real. It's as real as now. But you are not just a flesh being, you are a spiritual

  366. being. You're being of spirit, soul and body. And this morning I gave you the principles

  367. of success that keeps you in that realm of spiritual power. What you say, how you speak,

  368. what you do, how you declare it. Because you are more than just a being of flesh. You let

  369. the flesh predominate. Not, well I'm not fleshly. You don't commit terrible sins, but you're

  370. still being the flesh. You'd be very religious and pride yourself like Paul did for years

  371. until Jesus knocked him on the ground on the road to Damascus. And I've met a lot of people

  372. very religious. I mean I've got several degrees, several doctors, but if that ever gets in

  373. the way, God have mercy on me. You see, it's not me, it's old Jesus. I have nothing. These

  374. things are really useless except they're tools with which to serve God. Are you with me?

  375. They're not my way of heaven. I think God's going to say, here comes Dr. Klyminok in heaven.

  376. He won't be impressed at all. Not one iota will he be impressed. He's going to be impressed

  377. with what I've done for Jesus. Impressed with my heart, with my faith in him, with my love

  378. for him. And I'm going to be impressed by how much he loves me, despite of all my weaknesses

  379. and frailties and failures. I'm impressed that he's of his unconditional love, that

  380. God so loved me. He loves you too. Can you say amen? Marvelous, marvelous. Amen, Church.

  381. So we're just trying to understand this world because we are earthly, he is eternal. We're

  382. creatures of clay and dust, but he is eternal. And the most important thing that counts is

  383. that you is your spirit, your spiritual life with God, your life of relationship, your

  384. life of faith. You see, not possible. Yes, it is. Jesus came to do it all. He reconciled

  385. you to God. He put you back to God. The sin barrier has been broken. The flesh barrier

  386. has been broken. The Holy Spirit can be in you. You can possess the mind of the Spirit.

  387. You can live in the Spirit. You have it all there. You can walk in the Spirit, as it says,

  388. to not fulfill the things of this flesh. Right here is the answer. So every morning you wake

  389. up and get some spiritual food. That's what Israel had to do. The morning the manna came.

  390. They didn't go. They missed it. They were hungry all day long. Get some manna every

  391. morning. Get into his presence. You see, when the church grows and things that God is going

  392. to do, I'm making great confessions. I know that we have great buildings and so on. Finally,

  393. for God's sake, I'm never going to be impressed with the buildings, by the way. We're going

  394. to have them for the sake of the world. When we have something, I can invite great singers.

  395. I'll have a thousand, two thousand people. Youth will come. But what about that's wonderful,

  396. but until they break through, it's just entertainment. We've brought them there that they may touch

  397. God and at least respond somewhere. You understand? But finally, they're going to break through.

  398. They're really going to break through. So that doesn't do it all. God's not impressed

  399. with that either. Do I sound a bit negative at night? I don't know if you think I do or

  400. not, but I'm just trying to show you what's important. It'd be marvelous if you rose in

  401. the morning and said the heavens were opening, you were singing and the choir was at the

  402. end of your bed, but it doesn't happen like that. It doesn't happen like that. I've walked

  403. many times and said, where are the choir angels, Lord? No, they're not there. I've got to get

  404. up, got to find a place, got to give priority to God, don't let the flesh hinder me and

  405. break through. I still want to hear the choir, but I'll hear enough to know that God's there.

  406. His presence will be there. If you want a choir, put a nice tape on. There's some great

  407. choirs around. Amen. So it's crucial. It's crucial, you see, in Hebrews 11.4, he that

  408. comes to God must believe that he is and that he's white, a reward of them who break through

  409. the flesh, that diligently seek him. The mystery of prayer is breaking through from the flesh

  410. into the spirit, from the natural into the throne. Listen to Hebrews chapter four. I'll

  411. finish quickly. How long have I gone? I don't even know how long I've gone. Hebrews four

  412. says, I won't be too long. So we said, thank God. It tells us Hebrews four in verse 16,

  413. let us come therefore boldly unto the throne of grace. Imagine God saying to us, come boldly

  414. to us. And the Greek that is used here literally means you come into a place or draw near in

  415. Hebrews 10. It means literally you draw near. We drew near to God and some unusual things

  416. happened tonight. It was just his manifest presence. We just drew near. There's some

  417. we didn't get anything simply because of the flesh. We said, could I have touched,

  418. you could have touched something. Some needed it more than others. And sometimes God in

  419. his mercy just touches people and does great things. I don't understand at all. I stick

  420. to this book. Can you say amen? And I want more than just a nice sermon at the Christian

  421. nets. I want to break through with God. See your side and God's side, your side is from

  422. fear to faith. And fear is a very dangerous thing. But it's all of us, a man can walk

  423. in a 40 story building high and go from beam to beam and jump around. But he's got fears

  424. about his wife leaving him. Different kinds of fears. A man can walk into a cage with

  425. a lion has no problems, but he can't get near a spider. Different kinds of fears. So we've

  426. got to come from doubt to understanding from darkness to light. That's the way that's

  427. the that's that Israel from war to peace. Can you say amen? For insecurities of confidence,

  428. it can all change in God's presence. Can you say amen? As Isaac once says, he gives us

  429. beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for morning, the garments of praise for the spirit of heaviness.

  430. We might be trees of righteousness, the planting of the planting, planting of the Lord. So

  431. what did the psalmist say in Psalm 16? In thy presence is fullness of joy at thy right

  432. hand. He knew that round. He touched that round at the right hand that are what pleasures

  433. forevermore. Oh, get hungry for God's press deal with this flesh. Let that not stop you

  434. entering the marvelous, amazing, wonderful presence of God. Now, God has provided the

  435. means and I believe this. There are like doors that opened it up. And when you start with

  436. God, you may have one kind of prayer that you pray and that's wonderful. And you use

  437. certain cliches. That's good. But there are many doors. So they put it that way. There's

  438. a door of worship. Worship tonight brought his presence. There's the door of intercession.

  439. It says praying Ephesians 6, 18, praying all kinds of prayer. And so we say, I wonder God

  440. in heaven was like brass. God wasn't there. Yes, he was there, but you're in the wrong

  441. door. Learn to get to the right door at times. It may be different the next time. Learn God.

  442. Learn how God works with you. Learn that the Spirit works, the Holy Spirit works through

  443. you until you break through with God. Can you say amen until God powerfully breaks through?

  444. There is travail that's in the session. There's Thanksgiving. When I was born in Columbia,

  445. I learned the power of cleansing before the throne. That's very powerful in my life. They're

  446. revolutionary. A door that opened. So that's why some people only pray sporadically. They

  447. say, God is there waiting for you. You're not getting hold of his reluctance. Can you

  448. say amen? But learn there's a whole key realm there to break through. It's like deep. What

  449. the poet said was the length, depth and height in Ephesians 3, 18. There are realms that

  450. are depth. God wants us to enter into his awesome presence. Can you say amen? Remember

  451. how Jacob and I close with this in Genesis 32, suddenly an angel came to Jacob and started

  452. wrestling with him. All night long, he wrestled with his angel. As the dawn breaks, the angel

  453. says, I'm leaving. Now that scene changes. Jacob now is wrestling with the angel. Jacob

  454. said, I'm not letting you go until you bless me. He starts wrestling with him until his

  455. very physical being is affected. Later on, it's amazing that God would allow himself

  456. to be called as the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He broke through into realms with

  457. God. See, as the angels leave in the morning to get their messages from heaven to do the

  458. works of God upon the earth, you're not going, angel. Maybe the angel Lord, I don't know,

  459. but it says in Isaiah chapter 12, by a string, he had power over the angel. Imagine that.

    Isaiah 12 chapter mention

  460. Imagine the power that you have to break through with God. Imagine the power you have. If only

  461. we'd make that room. That's the biggest battle you will have because I know a lot of Christians

  462. that will serve God even in church, but they don't pray. The biggest battle of the life

  463. is to break through with God. If you want the best, you're going to get from the natural

  464. to the spiritual, from the earthly to the heavenly. And it's possible. It says, we don't

  465. know how, but the Holy Spirit helps us. Correct? It's possible. He says, come to my throne.

  466. Come to my throne. Come to my presence and I will lead you until you get like these mighty

  467. men touched Israel. I've heard of great generals that led armies that you spend an hour before

  468. God and they'd ask their adjutant just to say, don't disturb me for an hour. When the

  469. adjutant would come back after an hour, they'd say, is it over already? Because they've been

  470. with God. Oh, the mighty men of the Bible knew how to break through with God. Do you

  471. want to break through? I want to break through. Can we stand, please? A bit long, I apologize

  472. for that. I've made up my mind to finish by quarter to eight. Well, we had an unusual

  473. time tonight, earlier, so it took about half an hour or so. Well, the flesh is around us,

  474. so I'm trying to be kind. Let's stand in God's presence, shall we?

  475. Help us to break through, Lord. Just worship Him. Lift your hand and worship if you wish.

  476. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. One night I would bring you a tape when I was

  477. born, there was about 8,000 people there. We're just worshiping like that and suddenly

  478. we heard the angels sing. No doubt, you listen to it, there's no doubt. We stop looking around

  479. and there would be one singing anymore and the angels just singing. We just broke through

  480. something with God, because God is the supernatural God.

  481. I will praise Him.

  482. I will praise You.

  483. I will praise You.

  484. I will praise You.

  485. I will praise You.

  486. Worship in church.

  487. I will praise You.

  488. Holy Ghost, I will praise You.

  489. I will praise You.

  490. I will praise You.

  491. Thank You, Jesus.

  492. Thank You, Jesus.

  493. You can break through right now.

  494. Thank You, Jesus.

  495. Thank You, Jesus.

  496. Thank You, Jesus.

  497. Thank You, Jesus.

  498. Thank You, Jesus.

  499. Thank You, Jesus.

  500. Thank You, Jesus.

  501. I want you just one minute to find somebody to pray with them,

  502. and encourage each other to learn to pray.

  503. Take somebody by the hand nearby you, and pray with them,

  504. as brothers as quality plays.

  505. Just find someone and pray together.

  506. Say, God help us to pray.

  507. Teach us how to pray.

  508. Teach us to break through.

  509. I ask God to help you.

  510. The Holy Spirit will help you.

  511. Lord help us to pray through, I pray.

  512. To spend time with the manner of Your Word in the mornings.

  513. Help us to break through, Lord, every one of us,

  514. that we would see You work in our lives powerfully.

  515. Oh God, come on cry out to the Lord.

  516. Help us, Lord, to break through.

  517. Help us to break through, Master, we pray.

  518. In the name of Jesus, from the natural to the spiritual,

  519. from the terrestrial to the celestial,

  520. from the terra firma to the presence of Almighty God.

  521. Oh bless every one of us, Lord.

  522. Draw near to us.

  523. Make us people of prayer that break through

  524. with the velocity, the passion, the spirit,

  525. as You talk to us in the name of Jesus.

  526. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  527. Thank you, Lord.

  528. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  529. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  530. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  531. Let Your blessing rest upon every one of us.

  532. We pray as we go.

  533. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah.

  534. Bless this precious man, this father, this family.

  535. Touch his life, Lord.

  536. Be with him all his days, give him strength and health.

  537. Let Your presence come to him, Lord.

  538. I don't know him very well, but I bless him tonight.

  539. Would You also bless him?

  540. Draw near to him, Lord.

  541. I thank You for his life, what he's brought to this family.

  542. I bless him, Lord, in this time of his birthday,

  543. in the mighty name of Jesus.

  544. In the mighty name of Jesus.

  545. Hallelujah.

  546. Now Lord, bless us, we pray as we go.

  547. Take us with Your presence, with Your joy, with Your peace.

  548. Amen.

  549. God bless you in Jesus' name.

  550. Thank you again for tuning in to today's powerful message from Dr. Reginald Climinop.
