-
Hallelujah. Isn't he worthy? Isn't he wonderful? Isn't he just
-
to be worshiped and extolled? If you believe it, clap
-
your hands.
-
And make a shout. I glow your shout to his name.
-
Hallelujah. I honor God the Creator. I honor Jesus Christ,
-
my Savior, my Lord and Master. I honor the Holy
-
Spirit for his presence.
-
And this morning I asked that he comes and gives
-
what he has for his people.
-
I avail myself as the vessel, and he purify me,
-
cleanse me, sanctify me, and prepare to use me for
-
the edification of the body. Now, may your hearts be
-
prepared to receive. May your ears be open to hear.
-
May your eyes be enlightened so you can get understanding,
-
illumination wisdom, so that you will be empowered. You'll be strengthened,
-
you'll be established in your life for the glory of God.
-
Amen.
-
You may be seated with a loud shout and a
-
couple of praise. Come on, listen. There's never too much
-
to praise, you know, because you don't know what your
-
praises do for you. Your praises are weapons of war. Yes,
-
if you check the Bible, that places God told the
-
people don't fight, just praise. Your praise is an essential
-
weapon that you can deploy, deploy into the atmosphere no
-
matter what situation you're go into.
-
I dare you to.
-
Just change your atmosphere, change it, enter into praise and worship.
-
He set for the spirit of heaveness. He has given
-
you what the government of praise. And so when you're
-
feeling heavy, you're feeling depressed, when things are your mind buggled,
-
your things that are oppressing your mind, all you have
-
to do. All you have to do is change gears,
-
prepare the atmosphere. Switch from focusing on the problem and
-
focus on the problem solver. Amen, this morning, I want
-
to thank God, Papa. Oh yeah, he's worthy. Honor him,
-
Honor him. We're all here because of his vision and
-
because it made him. Come on, you can do better
-
than that. I honor o Papa. I honor our Bishop
-
who was giving me the opportunity to stand this morning
-
and bring the word. And I came to a realization,
-
you may be seated, please that this word was for me.
-
At the time when he told me, I was like,
-
but when I entered, and I started studying, and I started.
-
Preparing to bring the word. I realized.
-
It addressed a very present issue that I'm going through.
-
I just want to just briefly, just use myself as
-
an example. Everybody knows my daughter and another she sang
-
last week, she's here.
-
Then my body is about to get married.
-
Me.
-
Thank god.
-
She's my only daughter, and she's my last born, four
-
boys and a girl, And like many fathers and their daughters,
-
I want to make sure everything is perfect.
-
For her on her wedding day.
-
But I also have a father who does things in
-
a very grand way.
-
See.
-
I have two strong fathers in my life, my biological
-
father and my spiritual father who when it's one way,
-
I can see, I can see, I can see.
-
They don't do anything small.
-
So I thought I was gonna have nice little wedding
-
for my daughter, and my father stepped in and said, share,
-
oh that, and it's his first grandchild to get married.
-
So all of a sudden, everything is just blown out
-
of properssion.
-
My guest list is gone, the budget is blown, and
-
I'm sitting down grave. I'm starting to get gray, all
-
of us too much A pupil maybe, And I said, God,
-
you know you have to step in because.
-
The topic for today is fear of luck. I started
-
to think music comes home.
-
He's calling presidents for my president's ministers.
-
I'm bassadors, I'm mann. Whose money are this Monday?
-
Oh Mad, you're gonnacount to me and my count to
-
me are wo der girl. But oh, when you rely
-
on your old strength, when you think that you are
-
the one prof for yourself, that it is you war
-
unto him that relies on the armor flesh, when you
-
stop thinking that you're all sufficient and you could do
-
everything by yourself and you don't need God. I wanted
-
to thinking it was my daughter. I have to make
-
sure and God to say, who gave you the daughter?
-
For boys you get praying? And I gifted you. I
-
blessed you with a daughter. And now you think it
-
is your daughter. So you have to He shut me
-
up quickly with this word. And so I give thanks
-
for Bishop giving me the opportunity.
-
And I think we.
-
Should own a bishop, even in his absence, and I
-
believe you become our bishop, honor our bishop.
-
Your opportunity, though I didn't know it at the time,
-
was for me.
-
So this word It may answer your problems, but today
-
it is speaking to me.
-
Amen, you may be seated.
-
I give God praise because when I got the understanding,
-
when the illumination came, suddenly I didn't feel so burdened.
-
Suddenly I didn't feel so burdened. Suddenly I felt like
-
a weight to be lifted. Suddenly I felt everything's gonna
-
be fine.
-
It is his problem.
-
He is the provider Ah, Jehovah Jirah. Nowhere in my credentials,
-
so called credentials, is Jirah accredited to me. Everything I have,
-
everything you have, everything we all have, came from him.
-
Last week we were talking about overcoming fear, victory over fear,
-
every good and perfect gift, and the foundation scripture last
-
week was James seventeen.
-
But we also learned that every good and perfect.
-
Gift comes from above and cometh down from the Father
-
of lights, He that created everything that brings illumination, the sun,
-
the moon, and the stars, with whom is no variableness.
-
He doesn't change. He's the same yesterday, today and forever.
-
Whatever you face yesterday he brought you out. And if
-
he could do that, whatever you're facing today, he can
-
do that too.
-
Whatever that's coming tomorrow that you don't even know. That's
-
why he.
-
Says he delivers you from danger seen and unseen. The
-
enemy is always on his job to attack you. But
-
how do you know by your praise, by your praise,
-
God can deliver you from the things that haven't even happened,
-
that you don't even know about to happen in your life.
-
So when we say pray, stop doing this, check you know,
-
I say a lot of doing it. That's why I
-
do it too. I got correct ideas him, Grandiam. But
-
how about your praise five minutes from now, when you
-
step out of here and you don't know what the
-
enemy has planned for you, that praise that you gave
-
in here will be the same praise that he will
-
use to deliver you. So every chance you get, give
-
him praise because he's doing it. He doesn't have to
-
do anything for you. God doesn't owe you anything. He
-
has created you. He has given you breath, life, sound, mind,
-
faculties all intax activity of your limbs. You go and come,
-
you just assume, Oh, mee kwapa, why don't we hear?
-
A couple of months ago, when eight members of the
-
government said, mee kwaba in the morning to their families,
-
and what happened? They didn't come back. So why do
-
you think you are entitled? But every moment you get
-
praising because you don't know what's coming. But by your
-
praise you shall be delivered.
-
Amen. So victory of a fear was last week.
-
And then we learned that fear is not just the
-
thought or just It is a spirit of personality that
-
the enemy deploys to cripple us, to stagnate us, to
-
scatter us, to cause us to lose our faith. When
-
you've lost your faith, even your confession changes. You cease
-
to speak life and you start speaking death. He read
-
in my wo That's what I was thinking, Hey, rit
-
in Gobe, what am I going for this money?
-
This man by? I was thinking, the Lord is a need? JB.
-
You think it is? You think what is a think
-
not highly of yourself? Right?
-
Yeah, gentlemen, said brons, humble yourself. But we are talking
-
about fear and that it is not a good and
-
perfect gift because of what it does to you. It
-
doesn't come from God. And if it doesn't come from God,
-
it comes from the devil, to decimate, to destroy, to shake,
-
to destabilize, to stagnate, to isolate, to kill eventually our
-
faith in God. But two Timothy one and seven tells us,
-
for God has not given us the spirit a fear,
-
which is the same as timidity or cowardice. God is
-
not a coward, He's not a punk. And when he
-
breathed his life into let us acknowledge. Our bishop, Please,
-
come on, be on your feet, Come on another man
-
of God, whom God has placed over you. You see,
-
when you learn to honor, and it'll deliver you from
-
many things. We see how we honor us our Papa.
-
So when it is doing, you also give him, because
-
they'll go in will and newl to your own benefit. Amen, Bishop,
-
welcome and thank you for the opportunity you may be seated.
-
For God has not given us a spirit of fear,
-
timidity or cowardice, but of power, of love and of
-
a sound mind to make sound judgments for personal discipline,
-
which is self control, which is the fruit of the spirit.
-
That's how you know when the Holy Spirit is with you,
-
because the things that you would have done had you
-
not had the spirit, the things that you used to
-
do when you were unsaved, when you used to fight
-
readily and cust readily. When you have the spirit, he
-
gives you self control, tells you you can say this
-
to them. You can slap them, you can slap them,
-
you can punch them. But because of who you are
-
and who you represent and whose you are, you hold back.
-
So it gives you that self control which makes you
-
well balanced. But today we're going to go ahead and
-
go further still on the issue of fear, because without
-
even realizing it, sometimes we fall prey to that attack
-
of the enemy with him using fear. But we've come
-
to learn that by the example of Jesus Christ, the
-
best way to counter that weapon of fear that.
-
The enemy releases is for you to do.
-
What to counter with the word, which means you must
-
know the word, which means the word must be hidden
-
in your heart so that at the point of your
-
attack you can flow. Because at the time of your attack,
-
it's not that time you're gonna get on your knees
-
and start praying and doing warfare and say no. At
-
the point of the attack, it is what is in you,
-
out of the abundance of the heart.
-
What have you hidden in your heart?
-
If you have the word in it, when you see
-
the enemy coming, you open up your mind, say it
-
is written. So at that point it is not the
-
time for you to be, you know, calling for prayer
-
warriors and doing a raging battle. No, it is time
-
for you to speak. You shall declare a thing and
-
it shall be established. That's what the scripture says. So
-
how to overcome the fear of lack? Two Timothy, Chapter one,
-
verse seven, A foundation of scripture. For God has not
-
given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love,
-
and a sound mind to make those personal judgments, to
-
have the discipline and self control. Fear is a spirit,
-
a personality, not a thought, not a feeling, not an imagination.
-
Fear is a snare.
-
It is a trap the enemy uses to stagnate you,
-
to arrest you, to stop you in your tracks, and
-
it gives him an advantage over you. It is a
-
device of the enemy and can only be overcome by
-
knowledge of the word. The Bible says, My people are
-
destroyed for.
-
The lack of what. For the lack of what?
-
Oh, you can answer me unless you don't have the
-
word in your heart. If you're not being studying, then
-
you don't know that. That's what the scripture says. My
-
people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. Knowledge of
-
the word brings illumination light. Light brings clarity and understanding.
-
Palm one one nine, Verse one oh five. David said,
-
the Word of the Lord is a lamp onto my
-
wat and a light onto my path. Have you ever
-
tried to stagger around your house when you have lights out?
-
Doom so and it's pitch black. You've lived in this
-
house many years, but as soon as the light's how
-
you get disoriented.
-
And you are.
-
If you're not careful, you bang your head. If you're
-
not careful, you trip over something. But this is what
-
illumination light, This is what it does for you, brings
-
the clarity and understanding. First thing in the morning, when
-
you open your eyes, understand that it is not your clock,
-
the alarm clock that you said last night that woke
-
you up.
-
It may rain, but that is not what is giving
-
you life.
-
It may cause you to rise up, but that's not
-
it because alarm can ring and you can still lay dead.
-
Understand that it is the spirit of God that is
-
giving you life. And so the first thing you do
-
is for you to rehearse the scripture. When we say
-
rehearse the scripture, we mean speaking meditating. The word meditation
-
means to speak out loud the word of God. Because
-
this is what happens. When you speak the word, give
-
it voice. It enters into your ear gates and into
-
your spirit.
-
It confirms for you.
-
And it causes your spirit to bear witness with what
-
the Lord has said. So first thing you do is
-
to rehearse the word. God operates and functions by his word.
-
He performs his word. John chapter one, verse one says
-
in the beginning's the word, and the word was with God,
-
and the word was God. The Word of God is truth.
-
It is the only truth. Any other truth you know
-
as it relates to your circumstances becomes a lie when
-
it is juxtaposed to the Word of God, because only
-
what he says is established. So your circumstances may say
-
you don't have the money. Your circumstances may say the
-
doctor says you have an incurable disease. Your circumstances may
-
say other things. But what does the word of God say?
-
Because it is the only truth, regardless of how tangible
-
your situation is. When the Word of God is applied
-
to it, it becomes false.
-
It's truth endureth forever.
-
See, the angels are activated and respond to the word
-
of God and not to your circumstances or your emotions.
-
You can cry all you want.
-
God has nothing to do with your flesh because that's
-
what your emotions are. You can cry and you just
-
wait for you. Okay, child. When you first get hit
-
and you're discombobulated to tubla, the first thing you do
-
is going to God, do what I mean, and he
-
sitting down and going, come on, get over your pity party.
-
Come on, come on, I'm waiting for you. The angels
-
are waiting for you. When you start speaking in line
-
with my word what I said that you are not
-
a victim, but you are a victim.
-
You are the head and not the tale.
-
When you start speaking the word of God, then your
-
deliverance comes because the angels respond to the word of God,
-
not to your emotions. The moment you start speaking in
-
line with the word of God and say, Satan, you
-
a liar, he said, he that has begun a good thing.
-
Is do what I can't hear you.
-
You have an expectation, you have a hope, and it
-
is not founded in your emotions or your your imaginations,
-
but it is founded in the word of God. Let
-
us look at Mark sixteen, verse twenty, and then you
-
went forth and appreciate everywhere the Lord working with them.
-
How about you know your wherever you go, the Spirit
-
of God is with you and confirming the what, confirming
-
the what, and with what.
-
Following. When you apply the Word of God to the
-
issues of.
-
Your life, signs will follow.
-
There will be signs, wonders, miracles, breakthroughs. For you.
-
It's not your crime, it is not your worrying. It
-
cannot change anything. In fact, it adds to your stress
-
when you misalign yourself with what your intellect your emotions
-
are dictating versus aligning yourself.
-
With the Word of God. Jeremiah one and twelve.
-
Jeremiah one two then said the Lord unto me, thou
-
hast seen well, for I will do what I will
-
hasten my word to perform it. When you speak the
-
word of God, when you are lying yourself with you
-
cause God you place a demand on.
-
It, and he harries himself.
-
He hastens if the word is lying, then I'm lying.
-
This is not my words. I will hasten my word
-
to perform it. Okay, because I believe someone in the
-
bib way. He says he has placed his word above
-
his word, above his name. He will never let his
-
word fall to the ground. The word, when spoken, will
-
go and accomplish it shall not return.
-
What void.
-
You have to connect the dots. Don't just read sentences
-
and phrases and stanzas and just everything links to everything.
-
And it's for you or benefit to establish you rehearsing
-
or confessing the word first thing in the morning and
-
all throughout the day, as is recommended in Joshua chapter one,
-
verse eight. Joshua, chapter one, verse eight. Joshua, chapter one,
-
verse eight. It blocks the holes and the gaps by
-
which the serpent, the enemy gains access into your lives. Joshua,
-
chapter one, verse eight. The book of the law shall
-
not depart out of thy what, but thou shalt do
-
what meditate therein day and night. You know why you
-
must speak the word day and night. Because the devil
-
doesn't take a break. He's moving to and frough because
-
his time is up. He knows where he's been condemned to,
-
so as long as he can, he's on his job,
-
looking for the weakest link. So you must speak, meditate
-
therein day and nights that thou mayest observe to do
-
according to all that it is written in therein it's
-
for your benefit, not for God God's benefits. For then
-
shalt them, thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then
-
thou shalt have good success. So that tells me there's
-
some success that's bad. There's some success that's not from God.
-
Uh huh, So be careful the kind of success you're
-
going after. There's good success and there's bad success. Success
-
that comes from killing, from stealing, from cheating. M God
-
doesn't have a hand in it. But when the success
-
comes from you observing to do the right thing according
-
to the word of God. You see, there's a standard
-
that the Word brings. Righteousness is right living according to
-
God's standard, not according to man's standard. By man's standard,
-
you can do anything and get away with it as
-
long as you do it and you get your buck,
-
you make your daughter.
-
You know the gap. But hey, God, bless the Lord.
-
Bless the Lord.
-
But when it is according to the standard of God,
-
it is good success, and your way will be made prosperous.
-
You want to know how to be prosperous, confess.
-
It rehearse it first in the morning and all throughout
-
the day, so that those holes, those gaps in your
-
life where the enemy seeps in, those moments of doubt,
-
the moment it comes up, you must know.
-
You must have the word in your heart, so.
-
Immediately you can shut that hole, because if you don't,
-
the serpent. Where's that picture we had last week with
-
the crack in the wall with the serpent trying to
-
find his way in, That's how he gets access into
-
your life. Not knowing the word, not rehearsing the word,
-
not meditating on the word, leaves you without any protection
-
or defenses.
-
So if you're.
-
Wondering how and if it keeps happening in your life,
-
that means the holes that gaps in your life that
-
you are not aware of or neglecting to seal with
-
the word of God, because that is the only thing
-
that gives you defenses and blocks those holes and brings
-
you protection. Confessing and hsing the word and the basis
-
for enforcing the word. God performs his word. The word
-
the scripture is the basis for enforcement, your ability, your power,
-
your authority to say it is written and to cause
-
the devil to flee from you is founded in the word,
-
and only the word, because only the Word of God
-
is true. So the basis for enforcement is the word
-
the power in the scripture two Timothy one and seven.
-
For God has not given us the spirit of fear,
-
but of power. Not power, not authority pertaining to that office,
-
because it is. It's an office that you're walking in. Amen,
-
you're a royal priesthood uh huh. You are an ambassador
-
of God on this earth. You're a citizen of the
-
Kingdom of Heaven. And Papa gave a very good example.
-
The embassies that I hear there ambassadors. They operate not
-
according to the economic situations prevalent in Ghana. They operate,
-
though they may be in Ghana, according to the standards
-
of their country. So you go to the American embassy,
-
they're not paid that minimum wage that we're collecting here.
-
They are paid with all the attendant benefits according to
-
the United States.
-
He may live here, and.
-
I dare to tell you even when you enter into
-
their territory, though geographically it is located in a crowd,
-
that space that has fence around called the American Embassy
-
is literally America. That's why when you're being pursued, and
-
you're a citizen, or even you're seeking asylum, you can
-
run in there and guess what you can receive, what asylum.
-
That's who you are here on earth, as a child
-
of God, as a member of the Kingdom of Heaven,
-
a citizen, a representative of God, an ambassador of God.
-
You are not supposed to.
-
Be subject to the economic conditions of the earth or
-
anywhere on this globe. Your provision is not from here.
-
Everything here he owns anyway. He owns a count on
-
the thousand yells right, everything, every good and perfect gift
-
comes from above. He owns it all. But when you
-
get the understanding that the situation, the prevalence, situation's conditions
-
here should not dictate your life. The only way is
-
dictating your life is because you are not appropriating. You're
-
not applying the word of God. Because according to the
-
Word of God, you are not supposed to have lack.
-
It is a false I lie from the pit of hell.
-
When the one who has all sufficiency is your father,
-
and you are representing him here, he can provide all
-
your needs. He's well able, is willing. I wish above
-
all things that you do what and being what even
-
us your soul prosperous. He didn't just drop you a
-
say go and suffer and leave you here. He says,
-
come here thy kingdom, Come, Thy will be done on earth.
-
As it is in heaven.
-
You are supposed to bring, but you don't know because
-
you won't study. You don't know the word, and you
-
can have hiden in your heart, and so you fall
-
prey to the whims.
-
The power to enforce is founded in or comes.
-
From is based on the word only, not on your thoughts,
-
your feelings, your worries, your concerns, your fears, etc. So
-
scripture is the basis of that power that you have
-
been given. So that implies that if you don't know
-
the word, you cannot have the.
-
Basis or the power to enforce.
-
So confession and declaration, that rehearsing we were talking about
-
is enforcement of what is written. It is not enough
-
to just read and know the word, but you must
-
apply it.
-
Don't just be hearers, but also do us with the word.
-
But you must apply it, rehearsing it, meditating, confessing and
-
enforcing it. For man comes from confessing. The manifestation comes
-
from confessing. So Papa gave an example last week. He
-
can write you a check with your name on it
-
for a million dollars, and you can take that check
-
home and put it under your pillow. Even though the
-
check has your name on it, you don't have the
-
million dollars. You know why because you didn't enforce. Now
-
that you've gotten the check, you see it with your
-
name on it, you don't go and put it under
-
your pillow. You must now enforce the delivery of those
-
million dollars to you by taking the check where to
-
the bank and say it's got my name on it,
-
here's my id not pay up.
-
It's the same thing with the Word of God.
-
When you have the Word of God, you studied it,
-
you know it. It's not just enough to know it
-
and keep it in your heart. It must come out
-
of your mouth. You must meditate, you must rehearse, You
-
must confess. You must declare. When we do the altar
-
call and the souls come, it's not enough for them
-
to just believe. Now, that's what moves them to come.
-
But when they come, salvation is not just believe in
-
your heart.
-
You must what.
-
That confession is what gives you the salvation. You may
-
have the word, you may know it in your heart.
-
It might even be in your heart. But if you
-
don't speak it, you don't get delivered. It is not
-
enough to just know it. John seventeen seventeen says God's
-
word is true. It is the only truth. Sanctify them
-
through thy truth. Thy word is truth. It is the
-
only truth that you, as a believer, should apply as
-
a standard. Not anything that you've heard, not anything that
-
anybody else says, not your emotion, that's your mind, not
-
your imaginations, not the things that you can't jure up.
-
That is why the battlefield is here. Sometimes the devil
-
doesn't have to attack you. All he has to do
-
is suggest and let you go and destroy yourself. That's
-
why he says, renew your mind. What how do you
-
renew your mind daily? Applying the word? Study it, know it,
-
but then apply it, Confess it, meditate on it, rehearse it.
-
Because it is the only antidote. You see, that's the
-
only counter that you have when the devil comes against you.
-
That is your counter.
-
You must learn how to say it is written, because
-
that implies that you're deriving your authority from the scripture,
-
your office, or the position that you occupy. Determines your
-
authority and your provision as a believer and God's ambassador
-
as a child of God. Your spiritual position or office
-
is in Ephesians chapter two, verse six.
-
Quickly my time.
-
Is up, and I'm raised up, raised us up together
-
and made us sit where together in where though you
-
are writing on this earth, spiritually your in heavenly places
-
with Jesus Christ. So you might be present here going
-
through this journey, experiencing these ups and downs of this economy.
-
But this is where you're from. This is the office
-
that you occupy, and attendant to that office are the benefits,
-
the provisions. The American ambassador, he has all kinds of
-
benefits when they tell you to sleep a six pm
-
because there's curfew in your country, Because he has those
-
plates on his car that says core Diplomatic CD, he
-
can get out a six pm where you are a
-
sleep when you are locked in, he can move around
-
and nobody's going to stop him. Because of the power
-
the authority attendant to that position, that office as the
-
representative of the United States of America, you the representative
-
of Kingdom of Heaven. What makes you think you should
-
be restricted by the conditions of this earth. It is
-
an anomally turns you say, it's an anomaly, it's an error.
-
We live in this world, on this earth, but you
-
have heavenly entitlements, provisions, rights because of your heavenly office.
-
Just like those diplomats, and their needs are not met
-
by Ghana. Khana doesn't have to pay them. In fact,
-
they don't want anything from Ghana except for what they've
-
agreed by laterally, which most of the time is all
-
your goods, your gold, your diamonds. Yes, they don't need
-
your money. One dollar is now what twelve point five
-
thirteen citis. His money is almost thirteen times your money,
-
So what does he want your money for. It will
-
take a whole lot more of your money to give
-
him what he's entitled to. He doesn't need it the
-
same way. Earth cannot satisfy your needs. That's why you
-
always defer, Amen, That's why you always defer to the
-
word of God, and line up with the word of
-
God and appropriate those provisions that are petent and those benefits.
-
You don't understand your provision, your entitlements, your benefits. I'm
-
not determined by this economy. And that's why Philippians four
-
and nineteen Philippians four nineteen were ending here.
-
But my God shall supply what.
-
All your needs according to his riches in glory by
-
Jesus Christ. He didn't say all your needs according to
-
what is here in Ghana, according to the value of
-
the city. Go a step further. It is important that
-
in all that getting you get an understanding, and in
-
this word gets the understanding. And then you go a
-
step further to get the wisdom so you can apply it.
-
And if he says, if any of you lack wisdom,
-
who has it to give you? Go to him? There's
-
a caveat, though James one and six. The caveat says
-
you have to operate in faith and no doubt. But
-
let him ask in what not wavering? For he that
-
wavereth is like a wave of the sea, driven with
-
the wind and tossed. So when you go to God,
-
you go boldly. You approach you that mercy seat, as
-
his word says, boldly, because He has not given you
-
the spirit of fear, and through Christ you have access.
-
Through Christ you have access. And it is for you
-
inhuring to your benefit. And to understand that to live
-
righteously is not just to be a bible toating. But
-
to live righteously means to live according to the standard
-
of God. Righteousness is right living according to the standard
-
of God. So what is the standard? Where is the standard?
-
Where can you find the standard in the word? And
-
then you apply it so that you live righteously, so
-
that you don't find yourself in lack, because you can
-
speak to the lack. He didn't say things won't happen
-
or that won't come. But when it comes, by your confession,
-
So you can tell this mountain be then moved and
-
cast into the sea with faith.
-
Same way you can speak to your luck.
-
Whatever situation, whether there's lack of money, whether it's your
-
ill health, whatever you find yourself, you speak to it
-
according to the Word, the truth, the only truth. When
-
applied to the situation, there'll be signs. That's what the
-
scripture said. So this morning, I hope you've come to
-
the realization that you don't have to live in the
-
fear of luck because of who you are, and who
-
you are and who you represent.
-
You represent.
-
God, the creator, the maker of heaven and earth, who
-
owns everything that it is to own. There was nothing
-
made that wasn't made by Him. To paraphrase the scripture.
-
So why are you looking around, running around, whining, crying.
-
Like a coward.
-
When you tell you just come to me, And when
-
you come to me, get in my word the standard
-
that I've given you, and you shall be delivered and
-
you will see a change, and that will be a sign.
-
It is because you have a lack of understanding. So
-
this morning I want to encourage you to get into
-
the Word and ask God to give you illumination, revelation,
-
to give you the wisdom not just to understand the word,
-
but to apply it to enforce it. It's not everything
-
you have to fast and pray about. It's not anything
-
you have to call prayer warriors you have to go
-
to bishop for him to annoint you. You're just wearing
-
yourself out and wearing everybody else out where you can
-
just get in the Word and.
-
Ask the Holy Spirit apply the word.
-
And it shall be done unto you. I hope you've
-
been blessed this morning. Oh, if you're going to do it,
-
do it. While I didn't ask you to do it.
-
If you have understood that applying the Word will deliver
-
you from that fear of lack, and that that fear
-
is what holds you back.
-
It cripples you. But oh, you can speak the word
-
this morning.
-
If there's anybody sitting next to you, tell them to
-
apply the word of God to that fear that's holding
-
them back, because I want them to come forth.
-
Come forward and rehearse speak.
-
Confess what you have believed in your heart. There's a
-
reason why you're here. You heard the word and you've
-
believed it, so you came. Now act on the word.
-
If you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,
-
I invite you to come. Come and get that understanding.
-
It's an important time in the service. Please, nobody should
-
be moving around.
-
Church.
-
We need to be praying. We're dealing with souls, the
-
deliverance of souls.
-
Turn you the men.
-
I said, don't be afraid. God has not given you
-
the spirit of fear. If you don't know him, I say,
-
Lord and Savior, come come to the altar. The word
-
is in your heart. Amen, the word is in your heart.
-
But now you must act on it. And I'm going
-
to leave you in a prayer. So you confess it,
-
you declare it, so that now it becomes established, so
-
that you can see the manifestation. Anybody else. I'm sure
-
there's not just the two of them. Although we thank
-
God for the two of the there's anybody else. See,
-
God wants to bring that illumination to you or we
-
thank God. We thank God. Come on Church, give God, praise.
-
Ask your neighbor. If you haven't accepted the Lord Jesus Christ,
-
if you haven't come to the understanding that he is
-
your source.
-
And he's the only one.
-
Nobody else, not your mom, not your dad, not your brother's,
-
not your sisters, not your friends, not even your enemies.
-
Come.
-
Jesus Christ wants to give you an understanding of what
-
he did on the cross for you and what means
-
to your life, so that now you understand that in
-
him you are now a citizen of the Kingdom of Heaven,
-
greater than any embassy here on this earth, and in
-
that citizenship attendant to those that citizenship is certain benefits,
-
certain provisions that you can appropriate. Is there anyone else
-
spending a little bit of more time here, because it's important,
-
because if Jesus Christ comes now to take his own
-
and you haven't confessed it, you may know it, you
-
may have even believed it in your heart. But if
-
you haven't confessed it before the witnesses, you are not saved.
-
Your salvation comes from the confession of what is in
-
your heart. If you believe in your heart that Jesus
-
Christ is the Son of God. Church, I need you
-
to pray. There's somebody here who needs the need it
-
because their very life depends on it. They may be
-
going through something that none of us can help them with.
-
Only God can help them with. And this word I
-
praise word brings illumination for you to understand that only
-
His word is true and it's the only thing that
-
can bring you deliverance. Anybody else, Please come, Please send
-
to your neighbor and ask them, because this is an
-
opportunity for you, not just for them. God is gonna
-
ask you. You had the chance to ask the person
-
who was sitting next to you so they could also
-
get saved. You might be saved. Fantastic. We thank God
-
for your salvation. But how about the next person. Love
-
thy neighbor as thyself. Because you've experienced the goodness of God,
-
it shouldn't be hard for you to want your neighbor
-
to also experience that. Ask your neighbor is Jesus Christ,
-
your Lord and savior. Have you accepted him as your
-
Lord and savior? If you haven't, come, I will walk
-
with you. Anybody a time to spend anybody. Don't say
-
next week because you don't know. Nobody knows. If next
-
week is given.
-
This is the.
-
Time, the day that you hear my word, my voice.
-
Harden not your heart. Don't hurt in your heart and
-
put it off anybody. Jesus loved you so much he
-
died on.
-
The cross for you. Jesus he allowed.
-
Man came to shed his blood, He went to the slaughter,
-
He allowed himself to be assassinated, to be murdered, to
-
shed his precious blood because it was the only thing
-
that could make atonement for your life. Give God praise,
-
We get God praise.
-
Come to that understanding, that illumination, that revelation, that understanding
-
that this is the first step to living.
-
A victorious life, to being free from fear. God bless you,
-
my brother, God bless you. You see church, pray because
-
somebody might just be struggling with it. Oh, I don't
-
feel like everybody's gonna look at me. But you know
-
what doesn't matter what anybody else thinks. When Jesus Christ
-
comes now, he's gonna point this out. She's mine, He's mine.
-
She's mine, He's mine, and you take you back with
-
him to live in glory. If you don't act on
-
what you have heard, then you're not enforcing the word
-
of God, and that means you didn't get the understanding
-
from the scripture today. Don't just be hearers, be doers
-
of the word. Anybody, please come, I would like to
-
see you in heaven because with all my stuff, I
-
know one thing.
-
I heard his word. I believed it.
-
In my hand, and I confessed it with my mouth,
-
and so it settles it. I'm saved. Are you saved?
-
Are you sure that you're show? That's your show without
-
a shadow of a doubt that if God comes right now,
-
you're going back with him. If you're not, this is
-
your chance. I'm closing now. This is your chance. God
-
bless you, God bless you. It is the best decision
-
you made. Your names are written in the book of Life. Today.
-
Today you are sealed. If give God praise Church, Oh,
-
come on, give God some praise. The angels rejoins over
-
one soul. We have one, two three, Don.
-
Mindy said, souls today look how God has broken the
-
church's right. Not the southern hallelujahs, the b.
-
Hallelujah, go worry.
-
Basing your words, welcy.
-
To the.
-
Your face. Someone else say that for you, and the
-
hallelujah more south than coming. That's great. Let them swim
-
in the jello r with the God. It is rising
-
to the prison. Our hallelujah. She lessens the most important
-
part of the services. Not the word, the falk, not
-
the bird was fucker, but the folds, the prod the oh.
-
Fatisa shin his black He's worthy, He's worthy.
-
Oh Church, Keep God, and next to your praise for
-
the souls you're given, show gratitude.
-
God requires you to.
-
Give him gratitude for the things He's done. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
-
Isn't gone good, apolo, judge, but I just felt him
-
behind that. God is good. My brothers and sisters. I
-
want to lead you in the prayer because that's the
-
Word says. We must not just hear the word and
-
keep it in the hearts. We must hear it and
-
then rehearse it. Meditates, to speak it, to confess it. Amen,
-
So one, to lead you in a prayer. Repeat it
-
to me. Dear God, I believe that Jesus Christ is
-
your son, that he came to the earth, suffered, died,
-
but rose up on the third day, and has ascended
-
into the heavens and is seated at the right hand
-
of God the Creator. I believe it in my heart,
-
and I confess it with my mouth and according to
-
your word, acting on my faith. Not just being a hero,
-
but also being a dour. My confession seals my salvation.
-
I thank you, Jesus Christ for in your blood on
-
the cross for my sake to make atonement for my sins,
-
and thank you for reconnecting me.
-
To God the Father. I believe it.
-
I am saved. Say with your mouth, I am saved.
-
Be confident in what you've done. I am saved. I
-
am saved. I am saved. It is done to to
-
give God some praise. Oh, come on now, Glory to God. One, two, three, four, five,
-
Saints seven eight ninety ten. Hey, God is good. Ten
-
means wanting nothing and lacking nothing.
-
Night time will want nothing and lack nothing.
-
Whatever we need, God will provide when we come to
-
that understanding. Glory to God. I want you to go
-
with pastor Francis over there. He'll give you some gifts
-
from Papa and take some information, and then you'd come
-
back and join up. Judge, give them pray, give God
-
some praise for their lives. Come on, you go with him,
-
follow him, and you come back to the service. Oh,
-
God is good. God is good.
