-
Let us pray thank your Holy Spirit. Thank you.
-
In your presence, there's liberty, there's joy, that's healing, there's protection,
-
there's provision.
-
Everything we need is in your presence.
-
We thank you that your Holy Spirit is here right now,
-
and that we are ready in our minds and our
-
hearts to receive illumination, revelation, understanding, wisdom so that we
-
can be equipped empowered for the assignment. We are here
-
to work, So Holy Spirit, work it in us, and
-
will be careful to give your name the honor, the praise,
-
and the.
-
Glory in Jesus name. Amen, Thank you and ex Jesus.
-
Come on, if you're gonna do it, do it right.
-
It's kind of weak. Are you tired already or something.
-
I don't know about you, but when I look over
-
my life, I messed up so many times. He has
-
to be a merciful father. He has to be faithful.
-
I just feel like we don't get in this presence enough.
-
We don't acknowledge him enough. We're looking, always looking for
-
a reason too, that he should do something before. It's
-
not a transactional relationship. He is God all by himself
-
and he doesn't need anybody else. If you don't praise him,
-
he can cause the rocks. I don't know about you,
-
but I just feel like we need to stand up
-
and give God a standing ovation because he's worth, just
-
because he's worthy. Just no, no, no, I can't hear you.
-
I feel like I have to work you. I don't
-
have to work you. Look at your life, look at
-
your life. I don't know why he has done for you,
-
but I know what he has done for me that
-
I'm playing not paid, So I'm less. I went that,
-
I stepped gone, and I'm playing. I'm saying that I
-
should have done that. I even knowld you and he's
-
working on me. But by right I learn he is worth.
-
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus.
-
Every chance you get, every chance you get, please take
-
your seat or go right into the word. For the
-
last few weeks, we've been talking about discipleship and what
-
it takes and what is required of us, and the
-
assignment of going out and preaching. And we've talked about
-
when people come to church and they receive the word,
-
they become converts. But after converts, what because if they're
-
not prepared, if they do not go on, if they're
-
not put away the old man and make room for
-
the new man. Then they're going to slip right back
-
into what they do. See, when you get rid of
-
the enemy, when you get rid of certain spirits, certain demons,
-
the scripture says they go when you cast them out,
-
But after a while they come back and check to
-
see if there's a void. And if there is a void,
-
they come back. But they don't come alone. They come
-
with seven stronger ones, more stronger than they are, more
-
wicked than they are, to make sure that they hold
-
you down. So when you become a convert, it's not
-
time for you to just sit around and lillly gag.
-
It's time for.
-
You to get up, fill that void, put away the
-
old man, and take on a new mind, the mind
-
of Christ.
-
Amen.
-
So we learn that it's important for people to graduate,
-
to progress from being just a convert to becoming a disciple,
-
one who follows hard after the teachings we learned from
-
John Chapter eight, verses thirty one and thirty two that
-
we must follow, we must abide. We must abide, which
-
means to remain consistent, consistent, and walk in obedience to
-
Jesus and his word.
-
Amen.
-
So that says you must be committed. You must be
-
committed to it. Secondly, it says you must sacrifice because
-
you have to put away the things that you used
-
to do. You have to deny yourself. Scripture says and
-
pick up your cross daily. How are you going to
-
do that?
-
In his word, renew your mind daily, stay in the world.
-
This is the way you're going to be able to
-
pick up your cross daily, renew your mind and understand
-
your assignment.
-
Discipleship.
-
In order to be a good and effective disciple, you
-
must receive training, teach, and doctrine, which we have spoken
-
about spoke about previously in the last couple of weeks,
-
but today we're going to expand on that because we've
-
also learned that the church, as in the temple, the sanctuary,
-
the cathedral, is not the only place where we are
-
to learn or exercise discipleship. We are required to go
-
out there. And from what we studied earlier, the disciples
-
went out and after they met in the temple, they
-
would break out and go from house to house. So
-
discipleship and each and everyone here. If you have given
-
your life to Christ, then you are on the path
-
to becoming a disciple.
-
So as you leave from here every Sunday. This is
-
not it.
-
You don't shut your book and put your notes away
-
and wait till next Sunday to come. Your assignment is
-
to go out there, and as you're being trained and
-
taught and given doctrine, you are to go out there
-
and witness, to evangelize to others so that they can
-
receive and also join the flock. Newsflash in case you're
-
not aware, we're at war, and I'm not talking about
-
Iran and Israel. I'm talking about the Kingdom of God
-
and the Kingdom of Satan. That tea pot they're having
-
there is not a war. You want a war, check
-
this one out now. There's no middle ground. Either you're
-
gathering with Jesus Christ or you're scattered and you belong
-
with the devil. So he dore's not something. I'm a
-
good Christian. I don't want to offend anybody, so I
-
don't talk. I don't go and tell somebody a boy Jesus.
-
It's not about you or your convenience. Listen, when you
-
join the army, they don't give you uniforms and a
-
weapon until you go and chill in the barracks. When
-
you join the army. You subject yourself to training, to instructions,
-
to a new way, a new order, because when war
-
breaks out, you'll be required to go out there and
-
execute what you've been trained and taught to do. You
-
cannot go to the warfront and you don't know how
-
to cock your gun or arrange or in search your magazine.
-
You're just going to be killed the same way in
-
this war. You have to subject yourself to the training,
-
the teaching, the doctrine.
-
But Paul.
-
Was talking to Timothy and first Timothy two and one.
-
So as a.
-
Convert, when you come in, in order for you to
-
do anything you've acce up to Jesus Christ as your
-
Lord and savior is subject yourself to the training. Going
-
out there and being able to be effective is not
-
based on your strength, or your ability or your power,
-
because really you have none. You shall receive power after
-
the Holy goes.
-
As what So the power is not of you, it's
-
not from you.
-
The only place you're going to get the power to
-
be effective is the Holy Spirit. All you need to
-
do is to abide to avail yourself and be obedient
-
and walk in obedience to his word. That's what the
-
scripture says now Paul was talking to Timothy, and says,
-
I exhort therefore that first of all, somebody say, first
-
of all, somebody say, first of all, somebody say first things. First, supplications, prayers,
-
intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men,
-
not some men. Not the ones you like, or not
-
the ones that come from the same tribe as you,
-
or that belong to the same political party as you,
-
or the ones that live in the same neighborhood as you,
-
or the ones that belong to the same class as you.
-
All men.
-
But I want you to take note of the thing that,
-
first of all, because as you come in and you
-
become a convert, and now you receive the training and
-
the doctrine, you must commune with God. You must engage
-
in prayer. You see, it's not just for the pastor
-
or the leaders or the shepherds. If you have the
-
understanding that you're a disciple, then it is you're the weapon.
-
One of the weapons in your arsenal is prayer.
-
And he said, first of all, supplications, prayers, and intercessions
-
and given of thanks be made for all men. You
-
must pray any man of God, any leader, any pastor.
-
Any disciple who is not praying is a powerless disciple. Yes,
-
because when you pray, you're asking God for directions, and
-
by His spirit you shall receive replation, illumination, instruction, directions.
-
You will receive the power to go out there and
-
be effective.
-
No prayer, no power, you.
-
Can God blah blah blah blah, bah bah by all
-
you want you blah blah blah blah. The hell you're
-
not getting nothing. It's not that Sunday to Sunday thing.
-
It's a daily thing. It's about your relationship and that's
-
where you derive your power from. But you must not
-
just pray for yourself that the Holy Spirit will endow
-
you with the power.
-
But you must pray for all men.
-
You must have the burden for souls because discipleship is
-
about winning souls. Now we're here to equip you so
-
you can be effective in winning souls.
-
Follow me.
-
Now, all this is going somewhere, so you must prepare yourself.
-
But we've also talked in the past about you know,
-
trainentation doctrine. How about now we're gonna add prayer, fasting,
-
and sole winning, which is the ultimate assignment. So where
-
we have the acronym TTD for those of you that
-
were here the last couple of weeks. Now we have
-
p F ttd S, prayer, fasting, training, teaching, doctrine, and
-
so winning. Somebody say all six are necessary in order
-
for you to be effective. It is non negotiable. Numbers
-
one through five prayer, fasting, training, teaching, and doctrine. You
-
have to receive those in order for you to be
-
able to go out number six, so winning. If you
-
haven't subjected yourself or submitted yourself, you ain't ready.
-
You're not qualified.
-
You're going to the wall front half caught, half prepared,
-
half what armed, half dressed, and there's nothing going to
-
happen except for you're gonna get your butt caicked by
-
the devil because he is on his job. Scripture says
-
he's walking to and fro. He's looking for the weakest link.
-
Don't beat the weakest link. Tell your neighbor, don't beat
-
the weakest link. If you are not prepared, if you're
-
not subjecting yourself to prayer, fasting, training, teaching, receiving the doctorate,
-
you ain't ready to go out there and win souls.
-
Because you meet people with real issues, real problems. You
-
meet some people that are also possessed.
-
Or pressed. Have you ever encountered demonic oppression?
-
M h. I've seen pastors and bishops get beat by
-
a possessed person. When I graduated from school of ministry,
-
the first ministry I worked in was deliverance ministry, and
-
those demons came ready. You touch the wrong thing, you
-
say the wrong thing you touch, you trigger something in them. Yes, literally,
-
there was a young lady years back, her name was Angel,
-
pretty lady, slender, tall, get out, full of demons. Tell
-
them the devil likes good things too. The bishop and
-
started talking about stuff in the background, and apparently there
-
was some covenant. She knew there was a problem, that's
-
why she was coming to deliverance, or she didn't know
-
exactly what's wrong with there or whatever.
-
He said that to her. She just went back and
-
went and then she told.
-
Him right here in Carol's Hall, and I was his assistant.
-
But I noticed she went to clenching and she was
-
getting ready to strike him, so I pushed them. She
-
hit me so hard my glasses on like that, and
-
immediately I clenched my I forgot she was a woman,
-
and she was like it's not the person, it's the demon.
-
I was like, there's dem she she she connected half
-
my face was like when it's why your wine is
-
the TV?
-
You know? Yeah?
-
But you you go out there and prepared and you
-
see where things there are some demos that talk back.
-
You're telling the name of Jesus, Oh please, where were
-
you last night? And why you're study? You come to
-
tell me? You're casting what out have youse? One? Doesn't
-
you that last for spirit? Have you cast out our
-
lion spirit? That you have quench a fire right away?
-
But if you're not prepared, that's what's going to happen.
-
So I'm telling you all of this because we're talking
-
about cells, those micro churches, and here we call ours
-
the next cell because it's next generation church, and the
-
cells that belong to next generation, Our next cells tell
-
generans in next cells, these cells are going to comprise
-
all of us, You and me and him and her,
-
all of us, each and everyone here. If you say
-
you're a disciple, then you're abiding. You're obeying is word,
-
and you're remaining obedient in your walk with Christ.
-
But it's not just that.
-
You must leave from here while you're receiving your training,
-
the teaching, the doctrine, and all of that stuff, and
-
understand that it is for the purpose of number six
-
winning souls. You must have the burden for souls. One
-
of the things we learned in the past couple of
-
weeks was the fruits of the spirit. One of them
-
was love one for another. You must love your neighbors
-
so much that you must feel that burden. Somebody spoke
-
to you, minister to you. You got convicted, you became
-
a convert, you're in the church or in a ministry.
-
You're working.
-
You're working towards you're maturing towards becoming an effective disciple.
-
But you don't want to talk to anybody. You just
-
want to do your bit. Warm chair, look gorgeous, come
-
with your do your nails down. Eh, Brothers, get swagged.
-
It's nothing wrong. God wants you to have the good.
-
Where do you think you get your good?
-
Taste from?
-
Every good and perfect thing? Every good and perfect gifts
-
come from where. I don't know about you. I'm went
-
to see God. I think God is gonna swag. It's
-
not that picture the period a long way beard, and
-
you see brother looking at yourself, some living in some silk,
-
you know, flowing. No, you have to go down in
-
your mind. Me I think in pictures. I gonna tell
-
you know it. I'm if I can see it, I
-
can do it, but imagine. But it's all towards the
-
cells we're talking about. So when you leave from here,
-
in your places of work, your communities, your home, wherever
-
you fraternize, when you boys boys, wherever you hang out,
-
don't be ashamed to tell your friend how much of
-
a friend are you? Are you just a friend of convenience?
-
Because if they're not in good standing with Christ, if
-
Jesus Christ is not their Lord and savior.
-
They're going to hell. You know it.
-
You know you've given your life to Christ because you
-
going to heaven. But how about them? Someone spoke to you,
-
someone minister to you, someone evangelized you. But you have
-
the opportunity day and day out to talk to people.
-
That crazy uncle that you have, who's always drunk, is
-
always raising Mayhem in the house, Uncle Joe. Uncle nobody
-
wants to talk to him. Everybody's afraid of him. How
-
about Uncle Joe's problems? He's just lashing out and reaching out.
-
But if you pray and ask the Holy Spirit, Holy
-
Spirit can give you some small apple about why Uncle
-
Joe is the what he is. He will give you
-
the boldness to go to him and talk to him.
-
Touch on those things, and you watch uncle Joe's demeanor change.
-
That war will come crumbling because you have spoken to
-
his issue. The only way that's going to happen. If
-
you're spending time praying, asking for directions, instructions, illumination, wisdom
-
on how to proceed. Don't be concerned about your salvation alone.
-
Fruits of the spirit have love, one for another. We
-
talked about it there. We have quite a few of them. Love, joy, peace, patience, patience, patience, kindness, goodness, faithful, gentleness.
-
But the hardest one is self control, subjecting yourself to
-
the training, putting away that old man.
-
I was just telling them this morning. Listen, call a, don't.
-
Think that I'm perfect to let me tell you one
-
of my weak points. When I'm driving, and especially when
-
I have my family in the car, don't cross me.
-
Don't come from the right lane, come to left like
-
hunting for you think madness.
-
You are in the right lane.
-
No indicator, know nothing, no curtainsy, no protocol, no nothing.
-
You just decided macauha and then you want to come.
-
He knows I haven't got through my car right now,
-
there's the cane on my dashboard.
-
Yeah, but yeah, who feel has this yet?
-
But God every time that happens, and my wife is
-
and they say so, my wife is a black American,
-
so she's the tree has an accent. Alpher Alpha says,
-
sofer mommy, you do what if they're remember of the
-
church and they see you, they gonna get a whipping.
-
I'm fixing the lash and ride on the hill where
-
they belong. Yeah, I'm not perfect. I rolled down that window.
-
And sometimes my daughter Daddy, Daddy, don't do that. Papa
-
is gonna hear about your I A no, do you
-
mean to bono? But sometimes I'm like Jesus, mhm, jesuys,
-
we'll have me.
-
Won't help me.
-
Sometimes when I just want to. But the spirit of
-
course just why and again and again to me. Now
-
my year left, it's not seeing entreprem Lord, you're going
-
to save message myfe No, that does not be any
-
cause of accidents or be involved in any And keep
-
my husband patience. It's good to have a praying woman
-
because yesterday be a metal blue.
-
Hmm, yeah, find a.
-
Help meets is a Lord to give you your help
-
meets who can pray, accept your weaknesses, your weak points,
-
and pray for you, to support you and encourage you.
-
It's all right, honey, it's all right. I'm coming up back.
-
But I'm saying all this is the same. God is
-
not expecting you to be perfect. He's the one that's
-
gonna perfect you. That's what the scripture says.
-
All he wants you to do is keep pressing towards
-
the mark.
-
Of the higher calling. And what is your high calling
-
right now is discipleship. Because the time is almost up.
-
He's coming and he must have his own. He must come. Listen,
-
when you go to school to pick up your kids,
-
you pick up everybody's.
-
Kids on the bad chord. In you take the moon
-
with you.
-
You're own, not enough to handle you go in you
-
get yours. The day you hear that trumpet sounding, that's
-
exactly what's gonna happen. Jesus Christ is gonna come through them.
-
Angels are gonna blow that trumpet. The skies are gonna
-
roll back. I'm painting a picture for you. Come along
-
with me. He's gonna step out in all his glory,
-
and he's gonna say you mine, you mine you, let's
-
go you and he was in there let me, yes,
-
But I didn't depart from me. You did those things
-
you claim you did in my name, But did you
-
even know me? Did you love me? Did you love
-
your brother? The blood will be required of your hands.
-
Did you speak to Mansa when you knew Mansa was
-
doing those things? You say it's not a three sixty,
-
because the three sixty brings you right back where you were.
-
It's one eighty turn away repent.
-
Did you take time to tell Mansa, Mansa, there's a girl,
-
oh Madam for me, don't up on my door pie,
-
but this one you're wrong? Are you just a friend
-
of convenience? You let Mansa go to hell? You think
-
that God is gonna ask you. I put you, who
-
knows me, in Mansa's life so she can see, so
-
you could talk to her, so you can minister to
-
the assignment.
-
So many but you didn't. There's many opportunities. I gave you.
-
Love for one another, love for souls, the burden for souls.
-
It is a requirement in disciple. Shift while you subject
-
yourself to the training. So in next cells. That's what
-
we're going to be doing. We're going to be training you,
-
teaching you. We're going to be giving you and carry
-
men to pray. Listen, if you're living and somebody else
-
to tell you to pray all the time, you just
-
keep living when you want to sucker Panjida. Mother can
-
help you, father can help your siblings, can help your friends.
-
Nobody can help you. You will get to the point
-
where you have to get on your knees and say
-
Jesus if you don't get me under this one. Don't
-
think my life has been easy because me are President Bill.
-
My father wasn't president when I was born, and Andreyano
-
very president. If you know some of the shaggy corners
-
have been I went to America on my own twenty years.
-
The kinds of if I start telling you, run from
-
this church, the kinds of things that I've done, I'm
-
not proud of it, but by the grace, hey, by
-
the grace of God. I was telling them this morning
-
when I came at my Diamond. You know that Miami.
-
Father was pulling off my jacket sleeves and my father said, hey, Covi,
-
if you ain't gonna flow with it, and then you
-
gotta just stay in your place.
-
I'm just going back to the States. You know, I
-
don't have to be here.
-
Hey, and you tell me Mama sana and I said here,
-
said he everybody but God but God.
-
I was looking to go to Hollywood. You got preach?
-
What are you talking about? Yeah?
-
I give God some praise. I look in the mirror
-
sometimes and I'm like, whoa way, the kinds of things
-
I was doing, the kinds of company I was keeping.
-
The only thing that saved me is I don't like paint.
-
Come in by down with your son. You want to
-
take this outside, Let's get dirty.
-
I'm you.
-
My mother was just saying, yeah, mean wa. My father
-
came the first time. I appreciate look at me. He
-
turned his head and looked at my mother.
-
My mother was like.
-
Afterwards, Bishop Nako gave him the mic and said, can
-
you say something, mister President. He said, if I didn't
-
know there was good today, I know I didn't even
-
know this boy read the Bible today. He's depreciing. Hey,
-
I want to yam you on to teen your money.
-
Now share you neb you will when you're a congregation,
-
get to your woost like I'm going to.
-
Give you history. Now.
-
I just did like this, and I won't to say
-
it's a bad way. I'll say it's a challenge him.
-
So why.
-
Just saying them Stella. God uses everything that's in you.
-
God can use it.
-
Amen.
-
Tell your neighbor everything that you come as you are.
-
God can use everything that is in you, the things
-
that you think will cause you to be stick my
-
tires for coming. Listen, everything that you are, God can
-
use it for the advantage of the kingdom.
-
Amen. So next sails. We're here.
-
To receive and as Paul told Timothy, prayer is key
-
fascinating supplications.
-
That's where you derive your power.
-
That's why you derive the blueprint, the blueprint for the
-
growth of the church, which is what cells really are about.
-
For the expansion day. The growth is not linear growth,
-
exponential growth. If you talk to five, he talks to ten.
-
We all have different gifts, some of them some of
-
us talk talk talk. Some people, Oh hello, just a
-
little love and you win. Ten year, five year, twenty year.
-
Let's say there are four hundred of us right now.
-
If next week talk to your two, he talks to
-
the one. She talks to five he talks to ten.
-
I would say, let's all meet. What do you think
-
we're going to see? It won't be the same four
-
hundred it's going to be. Look at the scripture. They
-
met in the upper room, one hundred and twenty people.
-
They went out and on the same day, the power
-
of God, the Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit of God,
-
the accent Man of the Trinity, the personality in the Trinity,
-
the Holy Spirit moved and three thousand it's possible. Say,
-
it's possible. We just have to be in place. We
-
just have to walk with him. We don't have to
-
We just have to obey him, stay committed, deny ourselves, sacrifice,
-
put away the old man, avail your vessel.
-
He won't force you. He's giving you free will. But
-
if you won't do it, there's someone there. Look. His
-
scripture says, if you won't praise him, he will cause.
-
The rocks, all of creation praises God, the trees, the
-
think the wind is blowing. They're just right. They clap
-
the hands, That's what the description says. They clap the
-
hands in honor, in praise and worship. Everything he made
-
honors him. But you he has given free will so
-
you choose either day, life or death. Choose where you're
-
going to use that free will. Whose side are you on?
-
Because if you're on his side, you're gathering with him.
-
That means you are praying, being taught, being trained, receiving doctrine,
-
submitting yourself. You're doing everything that is requiring of you
-
to become an effective disciple, to expand the church, to
-
watch the church grow.
-
That's what he did.
-
He gave the revelation to doctor Jungi Child, one man,
-
one church on earth, the biggest church, eight hundred thousand people,
-
not just by Sunday morning sanctuary teachings, but by sels.
-
This is the Holy Spirit of wisdom. But guess what
-
when it gives the wisdom. He gives you the pattern
-
and you don't use it, Guess what happens?
-
Frustration If you do not follow what he.
-
Gives you, When you think you know better than God,
-
you turn away from what he's giving you. The church
-
belongs to God, and he's telling you the way I
-
want you to do it, so that everybody knows that
-
I love them the same and that I died for
-
them just like I died for you. It's for you
-
to go out there and evangelize them. Come in, convert,
-
receive the training, become a disciple, become an effective disciple.
-
Go out there. Don't come and warm the pews.
-
If we want hot seats, we can put hot water bottles,
-
or we can turn on the heat.
-
It's not just your tushie that can warm the seed.
-
You know, Come in, do the needful so that I
-
can release you to go out there.
-
Give you my spirit. Power. What moves people is power.
-
When you walk into a place and.
-
There's chaos and this mayhem and you can stand and
-
say in the name of Jesus, and everybody's like.
-
When the authority, the power that is flowing through you.
-
Can reach and minister to someone for their circumstance to change,
-
then they're open to you.
-
But if they look at you.
-
And you're looking some way, curtsy young woman, with your
-
body gone, with your what do they call this, tracolatars
-
your cleavage, everything hanging out, you wear your jeans and
-
they got out of my way and all your stuff
-
is sticking out, and you're looking at it, and you
-
want to tell me what Because they look at you,
-
and they look at that, what do you be at?
-
Be out to that So where are you come to
-
tell me? There must be evidence. There must be fruit.
-
That's what we're looking for.
-
Fruit.
-
If you're being an effective disciple, there must be fruit.
-
Fruit as in souls. That's what Christ came to die
-
for souls. That's what he gave us life for souls.
-
You'll be blessed. You get all the nice stuff I
-
wish about, all things that you prosper and being good health,
-
even as your soul prospers, that good taste that you
-
have from God, all the desires that you have for
-
wonderful that you want, a nice car you alants to
-
can't learn the thousand eels in this case the streets
-
of heavy gold.
-
Well, what but he said, seek ye.
-
Seek ye are you here seek yet.
-
Telling him about get the priority right? Put him first.
-
Anything that takes priority in your life above God is
-
an abomination. It's idle worship. And He does not contain that.
-
Anything that replaces God in your life is an idol.
-
If it's your money, that's what you're worshiping. If it's
-
your relationship, but not this. He is a God of relationship.
-
Let us make man in our image, but get it right.
-
Don't be going after the gift. When the giver of
-
the gift you're ignoring, acknowledge him, and he will give
-
you all every desire of your heart. Acknowledging him doing
-
his work what the assignment is. If you do not pray,
-
you will not receive what is necessary from the Holy
-
Spirit for success in ministry, or in the church or
-
in your personal life. Without guidance inspiration of the Holy Spirit,
-
the church will not grow. That's why he has given
-
you his blueprint, his pattern, not the one. You think
-
your faculties are too finite. You cannot contain God Jack revelations.
-
The angels bowed that. Every time they bow down and
-
get up, they see aside they've never seen before, and
-
they will never see again.
-
Multifaceted. He is whatever you need him to be. I
-
am that I am. You need a lawyer, he is,
-
you need a doctor?
-
He is.
-
You're broke? You got money? What's your problem? Is it
-
too simple for you? You want thunder and lightning? And
-
what my daughter? You have made the right chick? Oh
-
damn you not come. He loves you. That's why you
-
chastise you don't you do that? Those of you are parents.
-
You tell your child I found something Jason, Hey my
-
boom hey chie won't ha cho.
-
Then after a while you're like, okay, won't.
-
You next time when he's gonna touch it, he remembers
-
sometimes you have touch something uncomfortable, so that every time
-
they see me, I remember what happened last time. So
-
that's what I feel sometimes when they're crossing, I want
-
to touch.
-
Something, nor to help me. But this is how God
-
deals with us.
-
But guess what, whenever you're disconnected from your source, you're
-
going to dwindle up, You're going to die. So there
-
are many big churches that we see we hear about,
-
doesn't mean the only spirit is there. If the spirit
-
of God is not involved, sooner or later, sooner then later,
-
that church is gonna die. And whoever that false prophet,
-
false leader is, he's leading all those souls to hell
-
with him, and there shall be accountability. So don't be fooled.
-
Ooh ooh oh, this man is shot, and you run.
-
There be planning till he puts you here. Be planted,
-
put down some roots so that when the storms of
-
life come you are immovable.
-
You will sway that you won't be moved, just like
-
a young plant that is not anchored, you.
-
Pull it comes right out, hasn't put down roots, is
-
not bound to the soil. But go out there and
-
find one of those trees in the parking lot and
-
try to pull it out way because it's got roots.
-
And if you put down some good roots and you
-
step fast, you will surely bear fruit.
-
Put your roots here.
-
Next cells. Submit yourself to the training. Submit yourself to prayer,
-
and fast into session doctrine. Be prepared so you can
-
go out there and win souls, because that is what
-
he's requiring over us. I told you one through five
-
is necessary. If you're ever going to be able to
-
do number six. You have to pray, You have to fast,
-
you have to submit your training. You have to allow
-
yourself to be taught mini Minadso some of us say
-
you can't tell nothing.
-
You start saying, oh yeah that's what. Oh yeah, oh yeah,
-
kwantu Kawana Padua.
-
Chuck Chuck ruddle, come concept yeah, I said, war Corowana Waco.
-
You know everybody's business. You have a prescription for everybody
-
about your own life. Turn to the way said look
-
in the mirror. Michael Jackson was right standing in the
-
man in the mirror. Now now guys are a woman.
-
So he gives us the blueprint, the pattern. And surely enough,
-
much as it applies pertains to the Church, the ministry,
-
the work of the kingdom, it applies to your life.
-
That blueprint.
-
If you submit yourself to those things, and you allow
-
yourself to mature, it will serve you in any sphere,
-
every sphere of your life. You see, it doesn't segment
-
or compartmentalize your life.
-
And handle this and leave that part. He's a god
-
of balance, say get balance, get balance.
-
So prayer is the first apostolic instruction, not just for
-
the pastors or by the pastors, but for all disciples,
-
for all men. It is key for revelation, for breakthrough,
-
for the fruit to be released. In your praying times.
-
You ask for guidance and for the Holy Spirit, who
-
will give you the inspiration, the illumination, the revelation, the wisdom.
-
He will tell you who to talk to, when to
-
talk to them, what to say to them.
-
Some people will tell you, don't go there, you're not ready.
-
You go and meet my man WA's daughter. You think
-
you're strong. Bishop Derk ask him in the Deliverance ministry,
-
and he said to himself so I can tell you.
-
One lady called him a bishop, and there's something I
-
need you come and pray for me. He went to
-
the house. He was hot for the Lord. Ready.
-
He went up in there. Yeah, annoyt in oil and
-
never you do with your lady said, okay, I'm coming
-
up right back. He was praying with his eyes shot,
-
just moving up and down. Something that stopped. When you
-
stop you look there The woman was standing there naked.
-
Come on, baby, I won't move me there The door
-
was turned from bah blah blah black to uh.
-
He said, I was trying. I was trying. I said, Holy.
-
Spirit, sat next time, I need to bring somebody with me,
-
so cheer.
-
I lock you.
-
But for the power of the Holy Spirit, he was
-
able to contain himself. And guess what happened. When he
-
finally got into his zone, had the annoying and oil
-
and touched the woman, she fell.
-
Guess what happened?
-
He said, it was the first time he saw the
-
manifestation of the devil. A serpent, A snak came from
-
a snake, is gonna live? Snake came slithering out of her.
-
Can you imagine if you have not prayed up you
-
go up there are you going to meet? And don't
-
worries not just mam, mammy what has daughters? And mammy
-
what that sounds too? Now there? But I can't want
-
to be one south Pi. You know, you know it's
-
easy corn from don't be looking at the woman like
-
you too, Zip we are crayma everything you meet, Mammy,
-
what's daughter? And snaggle bite you? I wonder will But
-
I'm saying all of this self control, the last fruit
-
of the spirit, self control. It is a sign of maturity.
-
What I used to do.
-
I can look back and say, wow, look at what
-
God has done. You can see coming from afar, the
-
enemy coming at you like. If you don't stay prayed up,
-
you will lose some battles. All it will do if
-
you're not strong is break your spirit. But if you
-
prayed up and you enter some fights, at real fights,
-
and you come out victorious, You're.
-
Like, bring it all.
-
If God can bring me out of that, you can
-
bring me out of this too. So he ain't he
-
and Mudah waiting my nose before. But you have to
-
be ready. You have to submit yourself, subject yourself. Anything
-
that is cut off from the source will not just dwindle,
-
It will die, Your ministry will die.
-
The church will not grow. Follow his patterns.
-
Submit yourself, attend these next selves when we get them going.
-
Make sure you're part for your own good. You see,
-
God is not gonna tell you to do anything that
-
God doesn't need you. He's omnipotent, omniscient.
-
He knows all. Who said things? What going to trap God?
-
Come on?
-
Why did Christ tell him it is written? Do you
-
know what's written? Do you even open the Bible? Wasn't
-
investing with you?
-
Two and one? Tell me? Wasn't there?
-
We just read it when Paul told Timothy that he
-
wants him to exalt I exert you, therefore not for all,
-
give supplications for all men, inter sessions, prayers.
-
We just said it.
-
You looked at it in the past. If we would
-
have had it open to my corner. Let's go, let's
-
get and you never Maria Nephite. But it's all vanity
-
is empty if you don't have the spirit that's.
-
Leading you giving you. He wants you to look good.
-
You represent him. Go with it, Come with your best,
-
but let that be substance He's given you. Beauty. What
-
do you think it's for? To attract.
-
But when you attract, because you gotta be careful, you
-
gotta be ready. You will attract the good, the bad,
-
and the ugly. And some men are really ugly. I'm
-
not just talking physically, spiritually, notch on his belt finish
-
on see insist that, yes, a girlly, you have to
-
be prepared. You have to have some substance, you have
-
to have some weight, submit yourself. But ultimately it's because
-
you understand your assignment that you are called not just
-
to look good and occupy a seat, but to go
-
out there and win souls under the inspiration, the direction,
-
the power of the Holy Ghost, to win souls so
-
that the Kingdom of God, the Church can grow exponentially,
-
not linearly.
-
You bring one, I bring one next week will be
-
double nice.
-
But God is not looking for Listen scripture some he
-
blessed thirty sixty hundredfold.
-
But go to Deuteronomy one in eleven. I believe it
-
is so so off.
-
A check it for me, Deuteronomy one and eleven. And
-
I'm closing with that, The Lord God of your Father's,
-
make you the Lord God of your father's.
-
Make you the Lord God of your Father's. Make you.
-
So that many more as ye are and bless you
-
as he had promised. There's one thousandfold blessing. That's what
-
I'm looking for. I don't know about. You can call
-
me greedy and selfish, but I believe that if i'm
-
stead best. Yeah, if you're going to do it, do
-
it right. If his word not mine, you see, God
-
will take you if you submit your life to him,
-
he will use you for his purpose and he will
-
elevate you. He will make you grow exponentially. What kind
-
of investment can you make today that will give you
-
a thousand fold?
-
And I'll tell you in body, this is his word.
-
It's good if you can if you have the faith
-
for thirtyfold, okay, sixty food, one hundred fold tassing man passing.
-
I'm not looking for anything less he says, I can
-
have it. This is what I'm entitled to. This is
-
what you're entitled to as a believer, as a child
-
of God, as a disciple who is winning souls. If
-
you're here today, you've heard this word. We're in training.
-
We're gonna be continuing with this disciple discipleship teaching. It's
-
key for you to understand because if you don't know it.
-
And you go out there and equipped and prepared, you're
-
gonna lose the battle. The enemy is gonna dribble you
-
like well your pot reopen. But if you are prepared
-
and he will crown you, he will reward you. He'll
-
make you a thousandfold you and his blessings that don't
-
just end with you. Just like curses go transgenerational, his
-
blessings do the same. You will be blessed to be
-
a blessing. You your seed and the seed of your seed.
-
I don't know who else you want to covenant with
-
God unwell, because you'll move unto meanwell eh, you name them, eh,
-
I'm sure you there have plenty of them. Go or
-
your one some you can coven them with him. But
-
understand this the repercussions. Whatever choice you make, you're right.
-
I always tell you. If you say I can't, yes,
-
you're right, you can't. You shall decree a thing and
-
it shall be established. Unto you, life and death is
-
in the power.
-
Of the tongue. So watch your speech. And so that's
-
why I'm going to feel your father. Hey, the doctors
-
have guns. I'm going to die.
-
Well, who could I your tataka but if you say,
-
I can, because he says in his word and he
-
has given me the pattern. If I'm concerned about his work,
-
and if I have love for my neighbor as much
-
as I have myself. You see that thing they say,
-
love your neighbor as yourself. I think we don't understand it.
-
You love yourself. You know the good things you want
-
for yourself. Right, You're not going to go and buy
-
unless you don't like work, like me, but you're going
-
for what pleases you.
-
You but like, yeah, I'm ready, I need I want this. Yeah.
-
When you know what good things you want for yourself,
-
then it's not so hard for you to give good
-
things to others because you would want them to have
-
what you would have. You would want for them what
-
you want for yourself. Love your neighbor as yourself. How
-
do you love yourself? Check yourself. If you don't have
-
love for yourself, that you really ain't got no love
-
to give to your neighbor. You can't give what you
-
don't have. But the fruit of the spirit is love.
-
And if you are in him, you have Christ's love.
-
His love is shit abroad in your heart, and you
-
must exercise the same love for the next person, the
-
soul sitting next to you.
-
You going to heaven.
-
They're going to Hell, and you just watch them go
-
When you get there God and say, you know that
-
lady that was sitting next to you in their pink blouse.
-
I put it there so you can ask her, have
-
you accepted Jesus Christ? But you thought she looks some way,
-
So I'm not even gonna talk to you. Ask your neighbor.
-
Ask your neighbor accept that Christ, because I Drea, can
-
you do this? When they end up in hell, you
-
get to have with your beautiful self. Girls, say, hey,
-
do you remember the lady in the big Why didn't
-
you ask her?
-
Because of you?
-
She's going to hell. She was waiting for you to
-
open up your mouth. Yes, the blood will be required
-
of you. That blood will be on your hands. That's
-
what the Word of God said. You were given the opportunity,
-
his representative, his disciple, not just in word like we
-
talked about people. Just take Christianity, word religion Christian and
-
you look at their loving life.
-
Christ any mammonia wings so many fruit, fruit, fruit fruit.
-
So if you're here today and you don't know Jesus
-
Christ as your Lord and Savior. This is your pants.
-
You must first convert. You can't skip the steps. First
-
your life to him. Then he will mold you. He
-
will give you the steps as you remain in prayer,
-
as you're fasting. If you argue what interceding, not just
-
for yourself but for all men, having the burden for
-
the next person, he will raise you up. If then
-
God doesn't want you to be famous. I want you
-
to be famous, but not for the wrong reasons. It
-
doesn't want the neighborhood.
-
You don't know.
-
Edia Mama, oh be anym in the Biblica says they
-
now who detty boys are. But he wants you to
-
be known worldwide because you represent him your ministry, you're
-
you are evangelizing, you're winning souls.
-
You have his word, you can call him in his
-
spirit listen.
-
There's nothing like getting in the presence of God and listen,
-
especially when you're having some troubles.
-
You see, when you are everything is going right, sometimes
-
you forget.
-
But when you be Nuoa, you pray differently, and he's
-
looking like, okay, come on my volume, my volume when
-
you come in and find new.
-
Releases, and he lifts that burden you come out thinking whoa.
-
Yeah, bringing home nonary. You feel like a conqueror, a victim.
-
That's what he says you are because the battle is
-
not yours. Those souls to be one is not by
-
your power. He just needs you to obey and avail
-
yourself and commune with him in prayer, fast, and he
-
will give you what you need. Tell you who to
-
talk to, when to talk to them, what to say
-
to them so they can come into the fold and
-
we can multiply exponentially. If you don't know him as
-
the Lord and Savior, you need to come now. Listen,
-
nobody knows what's gonna happen tomorrow, five from now. You
-
don't know, he can come. And if you are waiting
-
for next week, okay, who said you're going to see
-
next week? Only God knows. Only God knows.
-
Church.
-
I need you to pray. Is there anyone here who
-
hasn't accepted Jesus Christ.
-
This is your time?
-
It may very well be, and I pray God, pray
-
that God grants you long life. But this may very
-
well be the last time.
-
You don't know. I don't know.
-
Only God knows. But if you're hearing it today, that's
-
what scripture says. The day that you hear my voice,
-
harden not your heart. Please come time as fast spid,
-
please come.
-
Sometimes you just.
-
Can't cut off the spirits. Come on, come on, come on,
-
come on, come on. Look to your neighbor church and
-
ask them have you accepted him.
-
It's free.
-
There's nothing you can do. Don't worry about your clothes
-
and your shoes. Listen, just come come as you are.
-
He will prefect you, He will polish you up.
-
He will give you everything that you need. Come on, anybody,
-
he will play this for you. You'll play it for
-
you on the day of accountability. Tell your reverend before
-
standing here at twelve o'clock telling you about me. He
-
offered you the opportunity to join my kingdom, and you
-
didn't answer anyone.
-
Don't worry about anybody that Dare's going to be you
-
and God.
-
Your mother won't be there, your father won't be there,
-
your friends won't be there, your brothers and sisters won't
-
be there. Man to mine anybody. So everybody here has saved.
-
I always do this. You don't understand why everybody here
-
is safe. You're sure that when Jesus Christ comes back
-
Right now, you're going to heaven with him. Everybody.
-
Amen, Amen, I want an answer so I can tell God.
-
I asked them I was there. I asked him.
-
They said he is here too. Everybody is saved. Sanctify,
-
set apart. You're giving your life to Christ. He's your
-
Lord and savior. You're converted. You've been trained for discipleship. Everybody,
-
Now you're looking at me like you're in a hurry
-
to go. You don't know what the enemy has planned
-
for you out there. God knows, but you're come into
-
the fold. He deliver you from dangers seen and unseen.
-
Some things he does for you you don't even know
-
that he's doing. Here. Everybody is saved. There's a food grind,
-
you know. Everybody as off. We are saved. H here, everybody.
-
It seems like we're joking, but it's a serious matter.
-
It's literally the difference between life and death, eternal life
-
and death. Don't worry aboudy here, and it is appointed
-
on to man once we're all gonna die. But where
-
you're going from here, because where you go from here,
-
it's gonna be forever. You think you're feeling heat here,
-
wait till you get in the wrong side on the
-
other side, because stupid everybody here saved sanctifies you're sure
-
that you're sure, that you're sure. Amen, anyone here while
-
you're looking at me like some strange in some way,
-
it's me. Everybody he is saved, Say my brother, say
-

-

-
some praise.

We all came here today and not where it has
-
gone for today because of this one.
-
Bless you.
-
What's your name, Jesus, Jesus, Jehu, God, bless you. This
-
is the best decision you make your whole life. I
-
guarantee you that just wait for me. Anybody else and
-
looking at Jehu has made a decision, the best decision yet.
-
See you in heaven. Man, I don't know I'm gonna
-

-
Oh come on now, give come on, give God some praise.
-
See you're looking cute. You're gonna be looking cute there.
-
Come on.
-
God is good. God loves you. This day was about you.
-
For you and man, anybody else, don't just look at
-
the man club and say Oh, let's have you up
-
and go.
-
This is what Jesus Christ died for.
-
Anybody else, anybody else, I'm going we have to close
-
anybody else. Oh church, guys, I don't want people moving around.
-
This is a very very important time. So please anybody else.
-
You see how the Holy Spirit first went through all
-
the way and then he came back. It is not
-
by my power, and it's his.
-
He will convict.
-
He will cause people to have a change of heart.
-
All you need to do is pray, have a burden
-
for souls, and they will come. He will compel them.
-
Amen. Well, if that's all you're coming, young man, Oh,
-
come on, brother, come on, come on man. Yeah, what's
-
your name? Sosie Lussie? You're the man. You're the man.
-
It's a good decision. Jay. Who's Slussia and the ladies?
-
What's your name? Dionne? Okay, praise the Lord for my
-
brothers and sisters here. Now listen.
-
Scripture says, if you believe in your heart that Jesus
-
Christ is God, the Son of God, that he came,
-
he died, and he was buried, you shall be seen.
-
Believe in your heart and confess it with your mouth.
-
That's why I'm going to ask you to follow me
-
in this prayer because they must hear you. All of
-
these people are going to be witnesses in heaven. You
-
will have a witness that yes she did, Yes he did,
-
He gave his life to Christ.
-
Amen.
-
Let us pray, Church, pray with us. Say, Dear God,
-
thank you for your Holy Spirit. Thank you for your son,
-
Jesus Christ, who came to earth, died, was buried, but
-
rose again on the third day.
-
I believe that he.
-
Is the son of God, and that by accepting him
-
and making him my master, my lord and Savior, that
-
I have received salvation, eternal life.
-
I thank you.
-
Now we seal your prayers in the name of Jesus
-
the Christ and in his blood, his efficacious blood. And
-
we claim, we declin, we decree that on that day
-
we shall see you all in heaven. Judge, give God
-
some praise. Come on, give him some praise. The Bible says,
-
all of heaven, all the angels are rejoicing.
-
Are you rejoicing? Are you are just so.
-
Comfortable because you're faith that this is just like normal
-
for you? Do you understand what's happening here? We are
-
snatched false foots from the kingdom of the devil, from.
-
