  1. Hallelujah. Isn't he worthy? Isn't he wonderful? Isn't he just

  2. to be worshiped and extolled? If you believe it, clap

  3. your hands.

  4. And make a shout. I glow your shout to his name.

  5. Hallelujah. I honor God the Creator. I honor Jesus Christ,

  6. my Savior, my Lord and Master. I honor the Holy

  7. Spirit for his presence.

  8. And this morning I asked that he comes and gives

  9. what he has for his people.

  10. I avail myself as the vessel, and he purify me,

  11. cleanse me, sanctify me, and prepare to use me for

  12. the edification of the body. Now, may your hearts be

  13. prepared to receive. May your ears be open to hear.

  14. May your eyes be enlightened so you can get understanding,

  15. illumination wisdom, so that you will be empowered. You'll be strengthened,

  16. you'll be established in your life for the glory of God.

  17. Amen.

  18. You may be seated with a loud shout and a

  19. couple of praise. Come on, listen. There's never too much

  20. to praise, you know, because you don't know what your

  21. praises do for you. Your praises are weapons of war. Yes,

  22. if you check the Bible, that places God told the

  23. people don't fight, just praise. Your praise is an essential

  24. weapon that you can deploy, deploy into the atmosphere no

  25. matter what situation you're go into.

  26. I dare you to.

  27. Just change your atmosphere, change it, enter into praise and worship.

  28. He set for the spirit of heaveness. He has given

  29. you what the government of praise. And so when you're

  30. feeling heavy, you're feeling depressed, when things are your mind buggled,

  31. your things that are oppressing your mind, all you have

  32. to do. All you have to do is change gears,

  33. prepare the atmosphere. Switch from focusing on the problem and

  34. focus on the problem solver. Amen, this morning, I want

  35. to thank God, Papa. Oh yeah, he's worthy. Honor him,

  36. Honor him. We're all here because of his vision and

  37. because it made him. Come on, you can do better

  38. than that. I honor o Papa. I honor our Bishop

  39. who was giving me the opportunity to stand this morning

  40. and bring the word. And I came to a realization,

  41. you may be seated, please that this word was for me.

  42. At the time when he told me, I was like,

  43. but when I entered, and I started studying, and I started.

  44. Preparing to bring the word. I realized.

  45. It addressed a very present issue that I'm going through.

  46. I just want to just briefly, just use myself as

  47. an example. Everybody knows my daughter and another she sang

  48. last week, she's here.

  49. Then my body is about to get married.

  50. Me.

  51. Thank god.

  52. She's my only daughter, and she's my last born, four

  53. boys and a girl, And like many fathers and their daughters,

  54. I want to make sure everything is perfect.

  55. For her on her wedding day.

  56. But I also have a father who does things in

  57. a very grand way.

  58. See.

  59. I have two strong fathers in my life, my biological

  60. father and my spiritual father who when it's one way,

  61. I can see, I can see, I can see.

  62. They don't do anything small.

  63. So I thought I was gonna have nice little wedding

  64. for my daughter, and my father stepped in and said, share,

  65. oh that, and it's his first grandchild to get married.

  66. So all of a sudden, everything is just blown out

  67. of properssion.

  68. My guest list is gone, the budget is blown, and

  69. I'm sitting down grave. I'm starting to get gray, all

  70. of us too much A pupil maybe, And I said, God,

  71. you know you have to step in because.

  72. The topic for today is fear of luck. I started

  73. to think music comes home.

  74. He's calling presidents for my president's ministers.

  75. I'm bassadors, I'm mann. Whose money are this Monday?

  76. Oh Mad, you're gonnacount to me and my count to

  77. me are wo der girl. But oh, when you rely

  78. on your old strength, when you think that you are

  79. the one prof for yourself, that it is you war

  80. unto him that relies on the armor flesh, when you

  81. stop thinking that you're all sufficient and you could do

  82. everything by yourself and you don't need God. I wanted

  83. to thinking it was my daughter. I have to make

  84. sure and God to say, who gave you the daughter?

  85. For boys you get praying? And I gifted you. I

  86. blessed you with a daughter. And now you think it

  87. is your daughter. So you have to He shut me

  88. up quickly with this word. And so I give thanks

  89. for Bishop giving me the opportunity.

  90. And I think we.

  91. Should own a bishop, even in his absence, and I

  92. believe you become our bishop, honor our bishop.

  93. Your opportunity, though I didn't know it at the time,

  94. was for me.

  95. So this word It may answer your problems, but today

  96. it is speaking to me.

  97. Amen, you may be seated.

  98. I give God praise because when I got the understanding,

  99. when the illumination came, suddenly I didn't feel so burdened.

  100. Suddenly I didn't feel so burdened. Suddenly I felt like

  101. a weight to be lifted. Suddenly I felt everything's gonna

  102. be fine.

  103. It is his problem.

  104. He is the provider Ah, Jehovah Jirah. Nowhere in my credentials,

  105. so called credentials, is Jirah accredited to me. Everything I have,

  106. everything you have, everything we all have, came from him.

  107. Last week we were talking about overcoming fear, victory over fear,

  108. every good and perfect gift, and the foundation scripture last

  109. week was James seventeen.

  110. But we also learned that every good and perfect.

  111. Gift comes from above and cometh down from the Father

  112. of lights, He that created everything that brings illumination, the sun,

  113. the moon, and the stars, with whom is no variableness.

  114. He doesn't change. He's the same yesterday, today and forever.

  115. Whatever you face yesterday he brought you out. And if

  116. he could do that, whatever you're facing today, he can

  117. do that too.

  118. Whatever that's coming tomorrow that you don't even know. That's

  119. why he.

  120. Says he delivers you from danger seen and unseen. The

  121. enemy is always on his job to attack you. But

  122. how do you know by your praise, by your praise,

  123. God can deliver you from the things that haven't even happened,

  124. that you don't even know about to happen in your life.

  125. So when we say pray, stop doing this, check you know,

  126. I say a lot of doing it. That's why I

  127. do it too. I got correct ideas him, Grandiam. But

  128. how about your praise five minutes from now, when you

  129. step out of here and you don't know what the

  130. enemy has planned for you, that praise that you gave

  131. in here will be the same praise that he will

  132. use to deliver you. So every chance you get, give

  133. him praise because he's doing it. He doesn't have to

  134. do anything for you. God doesn't owe you anything. He

  135. has created you. He has given you breath, life, sound, mind,

  136. faculties all intax activity of your limbs. You go and come,

  137. you just assume, Oh, mee kwapa, why don't we hear?

  138. A couple of months ago, when eight members of the

  139. government said, mee kwaba in the morning to their families,

  140. and what happened? They didn't come back. So why do

  141. you think you are entitled? But every moment you get

  142. praising because you don't know what's coming. But by your

  143. praise you shall be delivered.

  144. Amen. So victory of a fear was last week.

  145. And then we learned that fear is not just the

  146. thought or just It is a spirit of personality that

  147. the enemy deploys to cripple us, to stagnate us, to

  148. scatter us, to cause us to lose our faith. When

  149. you've lost your faith, even your confession changes. You cease

  150. to speak life and you start speaking death. He read

  151. in my wo That's what I was thinking, Hey, rit

  152. in Gobe, what am I going for this money?

  153. This man by? I was thinking, the Lord is a need? JB.

  154. You think it is? You think what is a think

  155. not highly of yourself? Right?

  156. Yeah, gentlemen, said brons, humble yourself. But we are talking

  157. about fear and that it is not a good and

  158. perfect gift because of what it does to you. It

  159. doesn't come from God. And if it doesn't come from God,

  160. it comes from the devil, to decimate, to destroy, to shake,

  161. to destabilize, to stagnate, to isolate, to kill eventually our

  162. faith in God. But two Timothy one and seven tells us,

  163. for God has not given us the spirit a fear,

  164. which is the same as timidity or cowardice. God is

  165. not a coward, He's not a punk. And when he

  166. breathed his life into let us acknowledge. Our bishop, Please,

  167. come on, be on your feet, Come on another man

  168. of God, whom God has placed over you. You see,

  169. when you learn to honor, and it'll deliver you from

  170. many things. We see how we honor us our Papa.

  171. So when it is doing, you also give him, because

  172. they'll go in will and newl to your own benefit. Amen, Bishop,

  173. welcome and thank you for the opportunity you may be seated.

  174. For God has not given us a spirit of fear,

  175. timidity or cowardice, but of power, of love and of

  176. a sound mind to make sound judgments for personal discipline,

  177. which is self control, which is the fruit of the spirit.

  178. That's how you know when the Holy Spirit is with you,

  179. because the things that you would have done had you

  180. not had the spirit, the things that you used to

  181. do when you were unsaved, when you used to fight

  182. readily and cust readily. When you have the spirit, he

  183. gives you self control, tells you you can say this

  184. to them. You can slap them, you can slap them,

  185. you can punch them. But because of who you are

  186. and who you represent and whose you are, you hold back.

  187. So it gives you that self control which makes you

  188. well balanced. But today we're going to go ahead and

  189. go further still on the issue of fear, because without

  190. even realizing it, sometimes we fall prey to that attack

  191. of the enemy with him using fear. But we've come

  192. to learn that by the example of Jesus Christ, the

  193. best way to counter that weapon of fear that.

  194. The enemy releases is for you to do.

  195. What to counter with the word, which means you must

  196. know the word, which means the word must be hidden

  197. in your heart so that at the point of your

  198. attack you can flow. Because at the time of your attack,

  199. it's not that time you're gonna get on your knees

  200. and start praying and doing warfare and say no. At

  201. the point of the attack, it is what is in you,

  202. out of the abundance of the heart.

  203. What have you hidden in your heart?

  204. If you have the word in it, when you see

  205. the enemy coming, you open up your mind, say it

  206. is written. So at that point it is not the

  207. time for you to be, you know, calling for prayer

  208. warriors and doing a raging battle. No, it is time

  209. for you to speak. You shall declare a thing and

  210. it shall be established. That's what the scripture says. So

  211. how to overcome the fear of lack? Two Timothy, Chapter one,

  212. verse seven, A foundation of scripture. For God has not

  213. given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love,

  214. and a sound mind to make those personal judgments, to

  215. have the discipline and self control. Fear is a spirit,

  216. a personality, not a thought, not a feeling, not an imagination.

  217. Fear is a snare.

  218. It is a trap the enemy uses to stagnate you,

  219. to arrest you, to stop you in your tracks, and

  220. it gives him an advantage over you. It is a

  221. device of the enemy and can only be overcome by

  222. knowledge of the word. The Bible says, My people are

  223. destroyed for.

  224. The lack of what. For the lack of what?

  225. Oh, you can answer me unless you don't have the

  226. word in your heart. If you're not being studying, then

  227. you don't know that. That's what the scripture says. My

  228. people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. Knowledge of

  229. the word brings illumination light. Light brings clarity and understanding.

  230. Palm one one nine, Verse one oh five. David said,

  231. the Word of the Lord is a lamp onto my

  232. wat and a light onto my path. Have you ever

  233. tried to stagger around your house when you have lights out?

  234. Doom so and it's pitch black. You've lived in this

  235. house many years, but as soon as the light's how

  236. you get disoriented.

  237. And you are.

  238. If you're not careful, you bang your head. If you're

  239. not careful, you trip over something. But this is what

  240. illumination light, This is what it does for you, brings

  241. the clarity and understanding. First thing in the morning, when

  242. you open your eyes, understand that it is not your clock,

  243. the alarm clock that you said last night that woke

  244. you up.

  245. It may rain, but that is not what is giving

  246. you life.

  247. It may cause you to rise up, but that's not

  248. it because alarm can ring and you can still lay dead.

  249. Understand that it is the spirit of God that is

  250. giving you life. And so the first thing you do

  251. is for you to rehearse the scripture. When we say

  252. rehearse the scripture, we mean speaking meditating. The word meditation

  253. means to speak out loud the word of God. Because

  254. this is what happens. When you speak the word, give

  255. it voice. It enters into your ear gates and into

  256. your spirit.

  257. It confirms for you.

  258. And it causes your spirit to bear witness with what

  259. the Lord has said. So first thing you do is

  260. to rehearse the word. God operates and functions by his word.

  261. He performs his word. John chapter one, verse one says

  262. in the beginning's the word, and the word was with God,

  263. and the word was God. The Word of God is truth.

  264. It is the only truth. Any other truth you know

  265. as it relates to your circumstances becomes a lie when

  266. it is juxtaposed to the Word of God, because only

  267. what he says is established. So your circumstances may say

  268. you don't have the money. Your circumstances may say the

  269. doctor says you have an incurable disease. Your circumstances may

  270. say other things. But what does the word of God say?

  271. Because it is the only truth, regardless of how tangible

  272. your situation is. When the Word of God is applied

  273. to it, it becomes false.

  274. It's truth endureth forever.

  275. See, the angels are activated and respond to the word

  276. of God and not to your circumstances or your emotions.

  277. You can cry all you want.

  278. God has nothing to do with your flesh because that's

  279. what your emotions are. You can cry and you just

  280. wait for you. Okay, child. When you first get hit

  281. and you're discombobulated to tubla, the first thing you do

  282. is going to God, do what I mean, and he

  283. sitting down and going, come on, get over your pity party.

  284. Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you. The angels

  285. are waiting for you. When you start speaking in line

  286. with my word what I said that you are not

  287. a victim, but you are a victim.

  288. You are the head and not the tale.

  289. When you start speaking the word of God, then your

  290. deliverance comes because the angels respond to the word of God,

  291. not to your emotions. The moment you start speaking in

  292. line with the word of God and say, Satan, you

  293. a liar, he said, he that has begun a good thing.

  294. Is do what I can't hear you.

  295. You have an expectation, you have a hope, and it

  296. is not founded in your emotions or your your imaginations,

  297. but it is founded in the word of God. Let

  298. us look at Mark sixteen, verse twenty, and then you

  299. went forth and appreciate everywhere the Lord working with them.

  300. How about you know your wherever you go, the Spirit

  301. of God is with you and confirming the what, confirming

  302. the what, and with what.

  303. Following. When you apply the Word of God to the

  304. issues of.

  305. Your life, signs will follow.

  306. There will be signs, wonders, miracles, breakthroughs. For you.

  307. It's not your crime, it is not your worrying. It

  308. cannot change anything. In fact, it adds to your stress

  309. when you misalign yourself with what your intellect your emotions

  310. are dictating versus aligning yourself.

  311. With the Word of God. Jeremiah one and twelve.

  312. Jeremiah one two then said the Lord unto me, thou

  313. hast seen well, for I will do what I will

  314. hasten my word to perform it. When you speak the

  315. word of God, when you are lying yourself with you

  316. cause God you place a demand on.

  317. It, and he harries himself.

  318. He hastens if the word is lying, then I'm lying.

  319. This is not my words. I will hasten my word

  320. to perform it. Okay, because I believe someone in the

  321. bib way. He says he has placed his word above

  322. his word, above his name. He will never let his

  323. word fall to the ground. The word, when spoken, will

  324. go and accomplish it shall not return.

  325. What void.

  326. You have to connect the dots. Don't just read sentences

  327. and phrases and stanzas and just everything links to everything.

  328. And it's for you or benefit to establish you rehearsing

  329. or confessing the word first thing in the morning and

  330. all throughout the day, as is recommended in Joshua chapter one,

  331. verse eight. Joshua, chapter one, verse eight. Joshua, chapter one,

  332. verse eight. It blocks the holes and the gaps by

  333. which the serpent, the enemy gains access into your lives. Joshua,

  334. chapter one, verse eight. The book of the law shall

  335. not depart out of thy what, but thou shalt do

  336. what meditate therein day and night. You know why you

  337. must speak the word day and night. Because the devil

  338. doesn't take a break. He's moving to and frough because

  339. his time is up. He knows where he's been condemned to,

  340. so as long as he can, he's on his job,

  341. looking for the weakest link. So you must speak, meditate

  342. therein day and nights that thou mayest observe to do

  343. according to all that it is written in therein it's

  344. for your benefit, not for God God's benefits. For then

  345. shalt them, thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then

  346. thou shalt have good success. So that tells me there's

  347. some success that's bad. There's some success that's not from God.

  348. Uh huh, So be careful the kind of success you're

  349. going after. There's good success and there's bad success. Success

  350. that comes from killing, from stealing, from cheating. M God

  351. doesn't have a hand in it. But when the success

  352. comes from you observing to do the right thing according

  353. to the word of God. You see, there's a standard

  354. that the Word brings. Righteousness is right living according to

  355. God's standard, not according to man's standard. By man's standard,

  356. you can do anything and get away with it as

  357. long as you do it and you get your buck,

  358. you make your daughter.

  359. You know the gap. But hey, God, bless the Lord.

  360. Bless the Lord.

  361. But when it is according to the standard of God,

  362. it is good success, and your way will be made prosperous.

  363. You want to know how to be prosperous, confess.

  364. It rehearse it first in the morning and all throughout

  365. the day, so that those holes, those gaps in your

  366. life where the enemy seeps in, those moments of doubt,

  367. the moment it comes up, you must know.

  368. You must have the word in your heart, so.

  369. Immediately you can shut that hole, because if you don't,

  370. the serpent. Where's that picture we had last week with

  371. the crack in the wall with the serpent trying to

  372. find his way in, That's how he gets access into

  373. your life. Not knowing the word, not rehearsing the word,

  374. not meditating on the word, leaves you without any protection

  375. or defenses.

  376. So if you're.

  377. Wondering how and if it keeps happening in your life,

  378. that means the holes that gaps in your life that

  379. you are not aware of or neglecting to seal with

  380. the word of God, because that is the only thing

  381. that gives you defenses and blocks those holes and brings

  382. you protection. Confessing and hsing the word and the basis

  383. for enforcing the word. God performs his word. The word

  384. the scripture is the basis for enforcement, your ability, your power,

  385. your authority to say it is written and to cause

  386. the devil to flee from you is founded in the word,

  387. and only the word, because only the Word of God

  388. is true. So the basis for enforcement is the word

  389. the power in the scripture two Timothy one and seven.

  390. For God has not given us the spirit of fear,

  391. but of power. Not power, not authority pertaining to that office,

  392. because it is. It's an office that you're walking in. Amen,

  393. you're a royal priesthood uh huh. You are an ambassador

  394. of God on this earth. You're a citizen of the

  395. Kingdom of Heaven. And Papa gave a very good example.

  396. The embassies that I hear there ambassadors. They operate not

  397. according to the economic situations prevalent in Ghana. They operate,

  398. though they may be in Ghana, according to the standards

  399. of their country. So you go to the American embassy,

  400. they're not paid that minimum wage that we're collecting here.

  401. They are paid with all the attendant benefits according to

  402. the United States.

  403. He may live here, and.

  404. I dare to tell you even when you enter into

  405. their territory, though geographically it is located in a crowd,

  406. that space that has fence around called the American Embassy

  407. is literally America. That's why when you're being pursued, and

  408. you're a citizen, or even you're seeking asylum, you can

  409. run in there and guess what you can receive, what asylum.

  410. That's who you are here on earth, as a child

  411. of God, as a member of the Kingdom of Heaven,

  412. a citizen, a representative of God, an ambassador of God.

  413. You are not supposed to.

  414. Be subject to the economic conditions of the earth or

  415. anywhere on this globe. Your provision is not from here.

  416. Everything here he owns anyway. He owns a count on

  417. the thousand yells right, everything, every good and perfect gift

  418. comes from above. He owns it all. But when you

  419. get the understanding that the situation, the prevalence, situation's conditions

  420. here should not dictate your life. The only way is

  421. dictating your life is because you are not appropriating. You're

  422. not applying the word of God. Because according to the

  423. Word of God, you are not supposed to have lack.

  424. It is a false I lie from the pit of hell.

  425. When the one who has all sufficiency is your father,

  426. and you are representing him here, he can provide all

  427. your needs. He's well able, is willing. I wish above

  428. all things that you do what and being what even

  429. us your soul prosperous. He didn't just drop you a

  430. say go and suffer and leave you here. He says,

  431. come here thy kingdom, Come, Thy will be done on earth.

  432. As it is in heaven.

  433. You are supposed to bring, but you don't know because

  434. you won't study. You don't know the word, and you

  435. can have hiden in your heart, and so you fall

  436. prey to the whims.

  437. The power to enforce is founded in or comes.

  438. From is based on the word only, not on your thoughts,

  439. your feelings, your worries, your concerns, your fears, etc. So

  440. scripture is the basis of that power that you have

  441. been given. So that implies that if you don't know

  442. the word, you cannot have the.

  443. Basis or the power to enforce.

  444. So confession and declaration, that rehearsing we were talking about

  445. is enforcement of what is written. It is not enough

  446. to just read and know the word, but you must

  447. apply it.

  448. Don't just be hearers, but also do us with the word.

  449. But you must apply it, rehearsing it, meditating, confessing and

  450. enforcing it. For man comes from confessing. The manifestation comes

  451. from confessing. So Papa gave an example last week. He

  452. can write you a check with your name on it

  453. for a million dollars, and you can take that check

  454. home and put it under your pillow. Even though the

  455. check has your name on it, you don't have the

  456. million dollars. You know why because you didn't enforce. Now

  457. that you've gotten the check, you see it with your

  458. name on it, you don't go and put it under

  459. your pillow. You must now enforce the delivery of those

  460. million dollars to you by taking the check where to

  461. the bank and say it's got my name on it,

  462. here's my id not pay up.

  463. It's the same thing with the Word of God.

  464. When you have the Word of God, you studied it,

  465. you know it. It's not just enough to know it

  466. and keep it in your heart. It must come out

  467. of your mouth. You must meditate, you must rehearse, You

  468. must confess. You must declare. When we do the altar

  469. call and the souls come, it's not enough for them

  470. to just believe. Now, that's what moves them to come.

  471. But when they come, salvation is not just believe in

  472. your heart.

  473. You must what.

  474. That confession is what gives you the salvation. You may

  475. have the word, you may know it in your heart.

  476. It might even be in your heart. But if you

  477. don't speak it, you don't get delivered. It is not

  478. enough to just know it. John seventeen seventeen says God's

  479. word is true. It is the only truth. Sanctify them

  480. through thy truth. Thy word is truth. It is the

  481. only truth that you, as a believer, should apply as

  482. a standard. Not anything that you've heard, not anything that

  483. anybody else says, not your emotion, that's your mind, not

  484. your imaginations, not the things that you can't jure up.

  485. That is why the battlefield is here. Sometimes the devil

  486. doesn't have to attack you. All he has to do

  487. is suggest and let you go and destroy yourself. That's

  488. why he says, renew your mind. What how do you

  489. renew your mind daily? Applying the word? Study it, know it,

  490. but then apply it, Confess it, meditate on it, rehearse it.

  491. Because it is the only antidote. You see, that's the

  492. only counter that you have when the devil comes against you.

  493. That is your counter.

  494. You must learn how to say it is written, because

  495. that implies that you're deriving your authority from the scripture,

  496. your office, or the position that you occupy. Determines your

  497. authority and your provision as a believer and God's ambassador

  498. as a child of God. Your spiritual position or office

  499. is in Ephesians chapter two, verse six.

  500. Quickly my time.

  501. Is up, and I'm raised up, raised us up together

  502. and made us sit where together in where though you

  503. are writing on this earth, spiritually your in heavenly places

  504. with Jesus Christ. So you might be present here going

  505. through this journey, experiencing these ups and downs of this economy.

  506. But this is where you're from. This is the office

  507. that you occupy, and attendant to that office are the benefits,

  508. the provisions. The American ambassador, he has all kinds of

  509. benefits when they tell you to sleep a six pm

  510. because there's curfew in your country, Because he has those

  511. plates on his car that says core Diplomatic CD, he

  512. can get out a six pm where you are a

  513. sleep when you are locked in, he can move around

  514. and nobody's going to stop him. Because of the power

  515. the authority attendant to that position, that office as the

  516. representative of the United States of America, you the representative

  517. of Kingdom of Heaven. What makes you think you should

  518. be restricted by the conditions of this earth. It is

  519. an anomally turns you say, it's an anomaly, it's an error.

  520. We live in this world, on this earth, but you

  521. have heavenly entitlements, provisions, rights because of your heavenly office.

  522. Just like those diplomats, and their needs are not met

  523. by Ghana. Khana doesn't have to pay them. In fact,

  524. they don't want anything from Ghana except for what they've

  525. agreed by laterally, which most of the time is all

  526. your goods, your gold, your diamonds. Yes, they don't need

  527. your money. One dollar is now what twelve point five

  528. thirteen citis. His money is almost thirteen times your money,

  529. So what does he want your money for. It will

  530. take a whole lot more of your money to give

  531. him what he's entitled to. He doesn't need it the

  532. same way. Earth cannot satisfy your needs. That's why you

  533. always defer, Amen, That's why you always defer to the

  534. word of God, and line up with the word of

  535. God and appropriate those provisions that are petent and those benefits.

  536. You don't understand your provision, your entitlements, your benefits. I'm

  537. not determined by this economy. And that's why Philippians four

  538. and nineteen Philippians four nineteen were ending here.

  539. But my God shall supply what.

  540. All your needs according to his riches in glory by

  541. Jesus Christ. He didn't say all your needs according to

  542. what is here in Ghana, according to the value of

  543. the city. Go a step further. It is important that

  544. in all that getting you get an understanding, and in

  545. this word gets the understanding. And then you go a

  546. step further to get the wisdom so you can apply it.

  547. And if he says, if any of you lack wisdom,

  548. who has it to give you? Go to him? There's

  549. a caveat, though James one and six. The caveat says

  550. you have to operate in faith and no doubt. But

  551. let him ask in what not wavering? For he that

  552. wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with

  553. the wind and tossed. So when you go to God,

  554. you go boldly. You approach you that mercy seat, as

  555. his word says, boldly, because He has not given you

  556. the spirit of fear, and through Christ you have access.

  557. Through Christ you have access. And it is for you

  558. inhuring to your benefit. And to understand that to live

  559. righteously is not just to be a bible toating. But

  560. to live righteously means to live according to the standard

  561. of God. Righteousness is right living according to the standard

  562. of God. So what is the standard? Where is the standard?

  563. Where can you find the standard in the word? And

  564. then you apply it so that you live righteously, so

  565. that you don't find yourself in lack, because you can

  566. speak to the lack. He didn't say things won't happen

  567. or that won't come. But when it comes, by your confession,

  568. So you can tell this mountain be then moved and

  569. cast into the sea with faith.

  570. Same way you can speak to your luck.

  571. Whatever situation, whether there's lack of money, whether it's your

  572. ill health, whatever you find yourself, you speak to it

  573. according to the Word, the truth, the only truth. When

  574. applied to the situation, there'll be signs. That's what the

  575. scripture said. So this morning, I hope you've come to

  576. the realization that you don't have to live in the

  577. fear of luck because of who you are, and who

  578. you are and who you represent.

  579. You represent.

  580. God, the creator, the maker of heaven and earth, who

  581. owns everything that it is to own. There was nothing

  582. made that wasn't made by Him. To paraphrase the scripture.

  583. So why are you looking around, running around, whining, crying.

  584. Like a coward.

  585. When you tell you just come to me, And when

  586. you come to me, get in my word the standard

  587. that I've given you, and you shall be delivered and

  588. you will see a change, and that will be a sign.

  589. It is because you have a lack of understanding. So

  590. this morning I want to encourage you to get into

  591. the Word and ask God to give you illumination, revelation,

  592. to give you the wisdom not just to understand the word,

  593. but to apply it to enforce it. It's not everything

  594. you have to fast and pray about. It's not anything

  595. you have to call prayer warriors you have to go

  596. to bishop for him to annoint you. You're just wearing

  597. yourself out and wearing everybody else out where you can

  598. just get in the Word and.

  599. Ask the Holy Spirit apply the word.

  600. And it shall be done unto you. I hope you've

  601. been blessed this morning. Oh, if you're going to do it,

  602. do it. While I didn't ask you to do it.

  603. If you have understood that applying the Word will deliver

  604. you from that fear of lack, and that that fear

  605. is what holds you back.

  606. It cripples you. But oh, you can speak the word

  607. this morning.

  608. If there's anybody sitting next to you, tell them to

  609. apply the word of God to that fear that's holding

  610. them back, because I want them to come forth.

  611. Come forward and rehearse speak.

  612. Confess what you have believed in your heart. There's a

  613. reason why you're here. You heard the word and you've

  614. believed it, so you came. Now act on the word.

  615. If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,

  616. I invite you to come. Come and get that understanding.

  617. It's an important time in the service. Please, nobody should

  618. be moving around.

  619. Church.

  620. We need to be praying. We're dealing with souls, the

  621. deliverance of souls.

  622. Turn you the men.

  623. I said, don't be afraid. God has not given you

  624. the spirit of fear. If you don't know him, I say,

  625. Lord and Savior, come come to the altar. The word

  626. is in your heart. Amen, the word is in your heart.

  627. But now you must act on it. And I'm going

  628. to leave you in a prayer. So you confess it,

  629. you declare it, so that now it becomes established, so

  630. that you can see the manifestation. Anybody else. I'm sure

  631. there's not just the two of them. Although we thank

  632. God for the two of the there's anybody else. See,

  633. God wants to bring that illumination to you or we

  634. thank God. We thank God. Come on Church, give God, praise.

  635. Ask your neighbor. If you haven't accepted the Lord Jesus Christ,

  636. if you haven't come to the understanding that he is

  637. your source.

  638. And he's the only one.

  639. Nobody else, not your mom, not your dad, not your brother's,

  640. not your sisters, not your friends, not even your enemies.

  641. Come.

  642. Jesus Christ wants to give you an understanding of what

  643. he did on the cross for you and what means

  644. to your life, so that now you understand that in

  645. him you are now a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven,

  646. greater than any embassy here on this earth, and in

  647. that citizenship attendant to those that citizenship is certain benefits,

  648. certain provisions that you can appropriate. Is there anyone else

  649. spending a little bit of more time here, because it's important,

  650. because if Jesus Christ comes now to take his own

  651. and you haven't confessed it, you may know it, you

  652. may have even believed it in your heart. But if

  653. you haven't confessed it before the witnesses, you are not saved.

  654. Your salvation comes from the confession of what is in

  655. your heart. If you believe in your heart that Jesus

  656. Christ is the Son of God. Church, I need you

  657. to pray. There's somebody here who needs the need it

  658. because their very life depends on it. They may be

  659. going through something that none of us can help them with.

  660. Only God can help them with. And this word I

  661. praise word brings illumination for you to understand that only

  662. His word is true and it's the only thing that

  663. can bring you deliverance. Anybody else, Please come, Please send

  664. to your neighbor and ask them, because this is an

  665. opportunity for you, not just for them. God is gonna

  666. ask you. You had the chance to ask the person

  667. who was sitting next to you so they could also

  668. get saved. You might be saved. Fantastic. We thank God

  669. for your salvation. But how about the next person. Love

  670. thy neighbor as thyself. Because you've experienced the goodness of God,

  671. it shouldn't be hard for you to want your neighbor

  672. to also experience that. Ask your neighbor is Jesus Christ,

  673. your Lord and savior. Have you accepted him as your

  674. Lord and savior? If you haven't, come, I will walk

  675. with you. Anybody a time to spend anybody. Don't say

  676. next week because you don't know. Nobody knows. If next

  677. week is given.

  678. This is the.

  679. Time, the day that you hear my word, my voice.

  680. Harden not your heart. Don't hurt in your heart and

  681. put it off anybody. Jesus loved you so much he

  682. died on.

  683. The cross for you. Jesus he allowed.

  684. Man came to shed his blood, He went to the slaughter,

  685. He allowed himself to be assassinated, to be murdered, to

  686. shed his precious blood because it was the only thing

  687. that could make atonement for your life. Give God praise,

  688. We get God praise.

  689. Come to that understanding, that illumination, that revelation, that understanding

  690. that this is the first step to living.

  691. A victorious life, to being free from fear. God bless you,

  692. my brother, God bless you. You see church, pray because

  693. somebody might just be struggling with it. Oh, I don't

  694. feel like everybody's gonna look at me. But you know

  695. what doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. When Jesus Christ

  696. comes now, he's gonna point this out. She's mine, He's mine.

  697. She's mine, He's mine, and you take you back with

  698. him to live in glory. If you don't act on

  699. what you have heard, then you're not enforcing the word

  700. of God, and that means you didn't get the understanding

  701. from the scripture today. Don't just be hearers, be doers

  702. of the word. Anybody, please come, I would like to

  703. see you in heaven because with all my stuff, I

  704. know one thing.

  705. I heard his word. I believed it.

  706. In my hand, and I confessed it with my mouth,

  707. and so it settles it. I'm saved. Are you saved?

  708. Are you sure that you're show? That's your show without

  709. a shadow of a doubt that if God comes right now,

  710. you're going back with him. If you're not, this is

  711. your chance. I'm closing now. This is your chance. God

  712. bless you, God bless you. It is the best decision

  713. you made. Your names are written in the book of Life. Today.

  714. Today you are sealed. If give God praise Church, Oh,

  715. come on, give God some praise. The angels rejoins over

  716. one soul. We have one, two three, Don.

  718. church's right. Not the southern hallelujahs, the b.

  723. hallelujah more south than coming. That's great. Let them swim

  724. in the jello r with the God. It is rising

  725. to the prison. Our hallelujah. She lessens the most important

  726. part of the services. Not the word, the falk, not

  727. the bird was fucker, but the folds, the prod the oh.

  728. Fatisa shin his black He's worthy, He's worthy.

  729. Oh Church, Keep God, and next to your praise for

  730. the souls you're given, show gratitude.

  731. God requires you to.

  732. Give him gratitude for the things He's done. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.

  733. Isn't gone good, apolo, judge, but I just felt him

  734. behind that. God is good. My brothers and sisters. I

  735. want to lead you in the prayer because that's the

  736. Word says. We must not just hear the word and

  737. keep it in the hearts. We must hear it and

  738. then rehearse it. Meditates, to speak it, to confess it. Amen,

  739. So one, to lead you in a prayer. Repeat it

  740. to me. Dear God, I believe that Jesus Christ is

  741. your son, that he came to the earth, suffered, died,

  742. but rose up on the third day, and has ascended

  743. into the heavens and is seated at the right hand

  744. of God the Creator. I believe it in my heart,

  745. and I confess it with my mouth and according to

  746. your word, acting on my faith. Not just being a hero,

  747. but also being a dour. My confession seals my salvation.

  748. I thank you, Jesus Christ for in your blood on

  749. the cross for my sake to make atonement for my sins,

  750. and thank you for reconnecting me.

  751. To God the Father. I believe it.

  752. I am saved. Say with your mouth, I am saved.

  753. Be confident in what you've done. I am saved. I

  754. am saved. I am saved. It is done to to

  755. give God some praise. Oh, come on now, Glory to God. One, two, three, four, five,

  756. Saints seven eight ninety ten. Hey, God is good. Ten

  757. means wanting nothing and lacking nothing.

  758. Night time will want nothing and lack nothing.

  760. that understanding. Glory to God. I want you to go

  761. with pastor Francis over there. He'll give you some gifts
