  121. Amen. And I believe we have some pastors in there somewhere, but we'll

  122. fish all of them out by the grace of God. Amen. So you're

  123. welcome to church this morning. Amen. Today's Palm Sunday. Amen, Today's

  124. Palm Sunday. And as part of the mandate, as far as the Next

  125. Generation Church is concerned, we are going to be going back to the basics.

  126. Please tell your neighbor back to the basics. Amen. We are not

  127. going to run with the error of the world. Amen, Because as far

  128. as the world is concerned, Easter is all about Easter. Bunnies and Easter

  129. eggs. Amen. Yes. And some are also climbing the mountain to do

  130. all sorts of things. Amen. And very soon there will be a shortage

  131. of some very essential commodity up there. But according to God's word and according

  132. to that which is written that has life, Amen, the essence of Easter

  133. is different from what the world is propagating it to be. Amen. So

  134. let's take a foundation scripture from Luke chapter twenty two. There's one to twenty

  135. two. You can write it down and read the whole thing. But in

  136. the Bible there is a passage that says, Hosanna in the highest blessed is

  137. he who comes in the name of the Amen. And this is when Jesus

  138. was coming to Jerusalem to get ready for the greatest sacrifice that has ever been

  139. known to humanity, to present himself as a sacrificial lamb. And the Bible

  140. says that he said to Peter and John that go and prepare for the Passover.

  141. Go and prepare for the Passover. And Jesus, being a prophet and

  142. a priest, he said to them, after they asked, how where do

  143. you want us to go and prepare, he said, go into the city.

  144. When you get there, you see a guy with a jar of water.

  145. Follow him. Don't ask him anything, just follow him the house that

  146. he enters. Enter also and speak to the master of the house and tell

  147. him that the teacher requires a room or passover. So where have you prepared

  148. for passover? Please preach your neighbor and ask your neighbor where have you prepared

  149. for passover? Because the master needs a place for passover. Amen. Oh,

  150. hallelujah. I can see some people talking. They are preaching in the

  151. background. I'm going to give them the microphone to preach to us very soon.

  152. Amen. Please ask your neighbor again, where have you prepared for the

  153. passover? Amen? And the Bible says that the master of the house had

  154. an upper room, which was a guest room that was already prepared. Amen.

  155. So fast forward, Jesus and his disciples went to that upper room to

  156. have the pass over feast. Amen. And so Jesus celebrated Passover or Easter

  157. with his disciples. And the amazing thing is that that was the last passover

  158. he celebrated with the design post because on that night our Lord and Sylia was

  159. betrayed. Who has been betrayed here before, who has had a broken hat

  160. before? I have had a broken heart before. It's not nice at all.

  161. That night Jesus had a broken heart because he was betrayed. Amen,

  162. he was betrayed. Amen. Anyone who has had a broken hearts, May

  163. Jesus heal your heart. In fact, may He give you a new heart,

  164. a heart that is strong, a heart that will never be broken by

  165. any circumstance. Say amen, Amen. And so, according to tradition,

  166. the Jewish tradition ist was not just couched out of a calendar butter or the

  167. passover was based on an event that happened over four hundred or five hundred years

  168. before that had to do with the children of his well being in bondage or

  169. slavery in Egypt. And they had been in slavery or bondage for four hundred

  170. years, and it was when they went into Egypt. They weren't carried into

  171. Egypt as slaves. They went freely because God had made a way where Joseph

  172. now had become the prime minister of Egypt, and so by proxy they went

  173. and they had a place to live. They lived comfortably until Joseph died and

  174. a Pharaoh came, who didn't know Joseph. I'm wondering how he didn't know,

  175. after all that Joseph had done for them, it's amazing. And so

  176. he decided that these people are growing, they are becoming too many, and

  177. in fact, I see us becoming too many. That won't fit year amen,

  178. And he said that let us enslaved. And so they enslaved everybody,

  179. and so they became slaved. For four hundred years, four generations they were

  180. in slavery in Egypt. And when they cried out to God for deliverance,

  181. God had their cry and sent Moses to them. And after all that Moses

  182. said and did, God had in the heart of Pharaoh that Pharaoh decided that

  183. I want to let them go. He said, I want to let them

  184. go until God brought the last card, the Calo card, and the Calo

  185. card he was going to slay all the fast bonds of Egypt. And at

  186. that moment God set emotion his redemptive plan for humanity. Because when Adam and

  187. Eve sinned and they disobeyed God, there was an error that transpired and that

  188. brought a big gap between God and man. And God was looking for an

  189. opportunity to introduce his plan of redemption to humanity. And so God thought that

  190. this is a good chance. I will use this to set the ground and

  191. even the ground, make the plane flat, so that my plan can go

  192. forward. Amen. And so according to Exodus Chapter twelve Ver's eighteen to twenty

  193. Exodus Chapter twelve Ver's eighteen to twenty, God gave specifics on when he was

  194. going to set his plan in motion. Please tell your neighbor for free.

  195. God works in seasons. Tell your neighbor for free. God works in times.

  196. Amen. I know there are some of you who don't wear a watch

  197. because you're not conscious of time. Please preach your neighbor for free. God

  198. works in seasons and God works in time. Amen. So if you're watch

  199. is misaligned to God's watch, then you're out of place. You miss out

  200. on what God doing. So God. The Bible says that in the first

  201. month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, you shall

  202. eat and live in bread. So the Passover is also called the Feast of

  203. and living bread. Amen. Until twenty Until the twenty first day of the

  204. month at evening Verse nineteen, for seven days, no living shall be found

  205. in your house, and living is east or yeast. We use it to

  206. bake bread. Bakers will tell you that a little muscle of door when you

  207. add yeast to it and expand and become a whole loaf of bread. As

  208. to why God they didn't want the children of Israel to eat the whole loaf

  209. when we meet him or ask him, but he says, no yeast in

  210. your house. Amen. And then it goes on to say that that that

  211. same person shall he cut off. Says that since whoever eats what is living,

  212. that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether

  213. he is a stranger or a native of the land. Verse twenty, you

  214. shall eat nothing living in all your dwellings. You shall eat and live in

  215. bread. So that said the basis for the tradition of and living bread for

  216. Passover. For want of time, I just kip, but I'll just give

  217. you a summary so you can read when you get home. But going forward,

  218. he said to the elders that everyone should pick a lamb a lamb and

  219. sacrifice the lamb as the pass of a lamb. And because of what God

  220. planned to do, which had to do with killing the first bones of the

  221. Egyptians. He said that as part of my redemptive plan, I need to

  222. secure those that have been consecrated to me. In Deutronomy sixteen, verse five

  223. to eight. Won't read that, but just stay on the scripture. God

  224. had consent created the first bonds of the children of Israel. And what it

  225. means toate, it means to set apart. So God had set them apart

  226. as his own. He says that because they belong to me, they are

  227. mine. So they've been set apart. And because they've been set apart,

  228. they might beloved. So then I can't kill them like I'm killing unbelievers.

  229. So the redemptive plan of God was set in motion. Amen. And he

  230. said that after you kill the lamb, put the blood, use his lb,

  231. dip it into the basin where the blood is, and put it on

  232. the lintel and on the door post. And he gave another instruction that no

  233. one should leave the house. Stay in the house. Please tell your neighbor

  234. stay in the house, because by staying in the house you are protected.

  235. Amen. I was telling the first service people that if it was now children

  236. of disobedience somewhere will go outside and go and play Chascilly and because of the

  237. Angel of Death will get to them. But God had given a specific timeline

  238. that the Angel of Death is coming. But do these preparations before them.

  239. Amen. And so when the Angel of God was released and started to slaughter

  240. the first bonds of the Egyptians, when he got to Goshen and found the

  241. blood of the Lamb, he found that a sacrifice had already been done,

  242. and so the Angel passed over. Amen, the Angel passed over. I

  243. see the Angel of Death passing over you because of the blood of the Lamb

  244. that has marked you. Amen. You will not die before your time.

  245. Nothing will slot. I've heard so many accidents, testimonies. It is a

  246. sign that God is with you. Because if God doesn't allow for you to

  247. have an accident every now and then, you think that you are walking by

  248. your own strength. Amen. So it is a sign it will happen.

  249. It may happen, but your life will be preserved because of the blood of

  250. Jesus. Amen. So ist or the festivity of Passover was based on this.

  251. So it was as a remembrance of the deliverance of God for the firstborn

  252. sons of the Israelites who are been consecrated onto God. Amen. So IST

  253. is not about going to go. The essence of IST is not to go

  254. and phrenicate on the mountaintop. The essence of IST is not to go and

  255. ittomutu and palmsu. The essence of IST is not Easter Banese and eggs.

  256. If you go to America and Europe and the rest, they are painting as

  257. we are celebrating. They are painting eggs. They are coloring the eggs red,

  258. gold, green. They're giving it ice, not smiley face. That

  259. is what they are consumed with. But God forbid that we the heritage of

  260. God, will stick with that arrow, and let that arrow proceed. No

  261. child of yours will celebrate Easter Banese. You didn't hear me. I said,

  262. no child of yours would replace the essence of IST with ex When we

  263. read a Bible, did you see X in a Bible? God is not

  264. interested in ex Amen. Please tell you about for free. God is not

  265. interested in x Amen. And so the essence of Passover is serious because they

  266. had to do with the matter of life and death. Had to do with

  267. a matter of life and death. Amen. And so we need to align

  268. ourselves in remembrance of this. Now fast forward, when Jesus was having the

  269. Passover celebration with his disciples, he was prophetically telling his disciples that the Lamb

  270. of God is going to be sacrificed, and the import of that is to

  271. consecrate all the children of God. Amen. I was selling a group of

  272. people that in the Kingdom of God, we don't apply for isa. Amen.

  273. We are born into the Kingdom of God. We are berthed into the

  274. Kingdom of God. So if you know anyone who does visa connection, they

  275. can't give you a visa to Heaven the Kingdom or No, there's nothing like

  276. that. Amen. And this is so because Christ Jesus, who is the

  277. first born, was sacrificed so that we can have access into the Kingdom of

  278. God. Can I hear? Amen? Oh? Amen? Amen. So

  279. we celebrate ister in remembrance of what transpired as part of God's redemptive plan for

  280. us. Amen. So, Palm Sunday today will not just be about waving

  281. palms, but we have understanding that it is because of the Lamb of God

  282. who was sacrificed, that is why we are celebrating this. Amen. And

  283. so three places to remember. Three things to remember about ister. This one

  284. is that it was about Passover that was the knights in Egypt, when God

  285. executed his judgment over Pharaoh, allowing all the firstborn sons of Egypt to be

  286. killed in order to liberate and to set his children free. Amen. The

  287. second reason to remember Passover is that we remember the lamb of God that was

  288. giving for our redemption. We remember the lamb of God that was giving for

  289. our redemption. And so the sacrifice of the lamb whose blood was on the

  290. lintel and on the door post, was a sacrifice of substitution. So the

  291. lamb and the blood took the place. So when the Angel of Death saw

  292. it, he knew that the sacrifice had already been done here. So I

  293. don't need to come here. That blood is speaking, so I don't need

  294. to come here. Amen. And so the essence of it to remember is

  295. that God gave us a lamb whose blood is still speaking for us. Can

  296. you say thank you Jesus for your blood. Amen. And so the sacrifice

  297. of substitution has become a guarantee or what's a guarantee of protection for the fairst

  298. bones. So that night there was mass mourning in Egypt. Every household was

  299. mourning because the first child had died, but for the children of Israel,

  300. because they had been protected by the sacrifice of the lamb that was rejoicing.

  301. Amen, I see you rejoicing. Amen. In your life you will be

  302. laughing. Amen. You'll be laughing for no reason. And people you think

  303. that you've gone local. But when you remember the goodness of God for your

  304. life, that which Christ Jesus has done for you, you will burst out

  305. into a laugh of joy. Say amen. Amen. And so in chapter

  306. one, verse twenty nine, John the Baptist, before he baptized Jesus,

  307. when he saw Jesus come, he said, look, this is the Lamb

  308. of God who takes away the sins of the world. Amen. So Jesus

  309. is the Lamb that was sacrificed for us. The third thing to remember as

  310. far as the Passover is concerned, is that the Passover signifies the exodus from

  311. Egypt, the land of slavery, from Egypt, the land of hardship,

  312. into liberty and into freedom. Amen. And according to the Word of God,

  313. the children of Israel left Egypt richer than they entered Egypt. They entered,

  314. they left Egypt, Richard. And when they were leaving Egypt were celebrating

  315. the mass day of morning and mass burial of their first bones. But the

  316. children of Israel were walking out singing a song Hallelujah, Hallelujah, hallelujah,

  317. Hallelujai butali al ali. They were rejoicing as they were marching out of slapy.

  318. I see someone marching out with rejoicing. Amen. I see you walking

  319. out of bondage and slavery with rejoicing into your place of liberty. Say amen,

  320. if you believe the word. Amen, And so the past over experience,

  321. we can't from our calendar. Amen. That is why it will be

  322. an injustice to God. If on this day we come and stand here and

  323. tell you seven rules for becoming a successful businessman, it means we are robbing

  324. God off our thanks because we have failed to remember. If is that the

  325. only thing you remember is the chicken. Now you're going to eat their banka

  326. you are going to eat. You are robbing God of the thanks he deserves

  327. for that which he did. Amen. And so in comparison to look chapter

  328. twenty two, they experience with Jesus and his disciples in the upper room where

  329. he broke bread and gave to them and said, eat, this is my

  330. body broken for you. And after supper he took the cap and gave to

  331. them, saying, share, this is my bloodshed for you. This is

  332. representative of the new Covenant. Amen. Jesus was prophetically reliving the Gaustan experience,

  333. and he was foretelling his suffering that he was going to suffer on the

  334. cross for you. And I Amen, we'll go into something deep a little,

  335. and I hope some people begin to cry, because if you remember what

  336. Jesus has done for you, I remember the nonsense you did yesterday, you

  337. should begin to weep. Amen. But God will help us. Amen.

  338. So the similarities between the Gaustan experience and the Look twenty two experience is that

  339. that same Eastern night Jesus was betrayed. That same is that when Jesus was

  340. planning towards the greatest sacrifice, that guy called Judas's carry out he had gone

  341. and he was negotiating with the high priests and the captains how he can betray

  342. Jesus, How he can give Jesus a broken heart? Amen. And he

  343. negotiated, and they came to an agreed sum of money, and they had

  344. a great payment terms how the more more the money to him and he would

  345. be sorted, and how he would even betrayed the Lord going to give the

  346. guy a case when you see me going look at me when I'm just when

  347. I had somebody know when I give the guy a case. No, he's

  348. the one arrest him. He had planned all of that a man while the

  349. Master was preparing. Amen. The second similarities that on that night Jesus celebrated

  350. hist with his disciples. So Jesus had a time of fellowship with his disciple.

  351. First on one seven, the Bible says that if we dwell in light

  352. as He is in light, we have fellowship with one another. Amen.

  353. And so what is going to be in the next gen church going forward is

  354. that there is going to be a lot of word bellowship. Amen. Please

  355. preach your neighbor. There is going to be a lot of word below shape.

  356. Amen. So that whole in christis same way you come to church entirely.

  357. You see a human being by you, say hi, You come and

  358. sit down as though it's air that is sitting by you. We are stopping

  359. that nonsense. Amen, We are fellowshiping. If your neighbor passes by you

  360. and doesn't greet you ten and say Christ in you. Amen. If your

  361. neighbor sits by you and doesn't say say Christ in you, Amen, we

  362. are going to flash out all the crisis. Amen. And we are going

  363. to be christ Like because we are following after our Lord and Savior, Jesus.

  364. Can you clap your hands for Jesus. Amen. The third similarity is

  365. that during Easter or during the past over, Jesus Christ was offered to deliver

  366. us all as the edge of the fifty three. Let's look at verse one

  367. to seven, and I just want to dwell on this for a short while,

  368. Amen. And we are praying that God will help us after the scripture.

  369. Amen, as edge of the fifty three, us one who has believed

  370. our report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed?

  371. Best two? For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant.

  372. And so this is talking about the Lord Jesus Christ. And as a root

  373. out of the dry ground, he has no form or comeliness. Give us

  374. another version that brings the comeliness into modern English. For us, Amen,

  375. I can hear some people preaching here. If I get you preaching, I'll

  376. give you the mic and I'll go and sid down. Do we all agree?

  377. Amen? Amen? For the servant of God grew up before him like

  378. a tender plant and like a root out of a dry ground. He has

  379. no form or comeliness, royal kingly pomp that we should look at him,

  380. and no beauty that we should desire him. The King of Glory, who

  381. is the Word of God that brought to being and to bear everything we can

  382. see and feel, because God said, let there be and the worst John

  383. one one. The beginning was the Word. The world with the word was

  384. with God. The word was God. The King of Glory decided to come

  385. in humanity, in a form that there was no comeliness. There was no

  386. pomp or pageantry with him. That even when one of the disciples, it

  387. Andrew, who wanted to tell his brother that I've met the Mass, he

  388. says, but what can come out of Nazareth? Can anything good come out

  389. of Nazareth? He decided to come in this form as a lamb that is

  390. not glorious, so to speak, a man, as part of God's redemptive

  391. plan for us. That there was no beauty in him that we should desire

  392. him. Next verse, he was despised he was rejected, he was forsaken

  393. by men. I'm sure when Jesus was growing up he didn't have friends.

  394. I'm sure, I'm sure people didn't. He wasn't popular, so people didn't

  395. want to associate with him. But he was despised by men. He was

  396. rejecting and forsaken by men. A man of sorrows and pains. Jesus was

  397. acquainted with sorrows and pain. You think you know what broken heart is.

  398. Jesus knows the feeling of broken heart. Amen. He was acquainted with grief

  399. and sickness, and like one whom men hit their faces from, and was

  400. despised. You see, after the five thousand people that Jesus fed with bread

  401. and the fish, when Jesus was being beaten, they attended their back on

  402. him. Although the leperds that he healed they had, they were not looking

  403. at him. When the soldiers will have not brushed their teeth for six months,

  404. were spitting on my Lord and my savior, they were just looking at

  405. him. Pita, with all his Papa with a sword, he cuts somebody's

  406. here. He had denied him three times already, do you understand? And

  407. I believe that everywhere there will also do the same thing would have done,

  408. or even worse, will take pictures and puts on social media. Charlie,

  409. they are meeting the man. When the people are fighting, some people say,

  410. Charlie, stop fighting. Then they bring out their phone. Movie time

  411. there cinema would have put him on social media. Amen, And like one

  412. from whom men hid their faces and was despised and did not appreciate his worth

  413. or have any esteem for him. Amen. When you substitute the essence of

  414. ister for Easter bunnies and Easter eggs, it means that you have denied Christ

  415. Jesus his worth. You have not esteemed him. What he did on the

  416. cross was is not enough for you. What you did on the cross is

  417. not enough. So if you are still fighting and struggling with Charlie that thing

  418. we call you are still embedded in deep sin. It means you are despising

  419. the Lord because what he has done for you, you are not laying claim

  420. to it, and you are not walking in that liberty, that Egyptian bondage

  421. that you were held in, that by the blood that was shed he has

  422. delivered you and set you free and say, my son go. You are

  423. still marking time in that Egyptian bondage. Amen. Next verse, Please,

  424. surely he has borne our griefs. The result of what happened with him on

  425. the cross is that he bore all our griefs, our sicknesses, our weaknesses,

  426. our distresses, and carried our sorrows and our pains. He has carried

  427. it for us. Oh, we don't need to carry it anymore. He

  428. has carried all our griefs. Amen of punishment. Yet we ignorantly considered him

  429. stricken, smitten, and afflicted by God, as with leprosy. Amen.

  430. And so if now that we are born again, we have been redeemed by

  431. the blood, we have been set free by the blood the lamb of God

  432. was sacrificed on the cross for us. If we are still wallowing in the

  433. things of Egypt, then it means we are telling Jesus, that is all

  434. that you did for us. Yes, we see it, but we don't

  435. really value it like that. So we consider him stricken and smitten and afflicted

  436. by God. Next verse, But he was wounded for our transgressions, all

  437. our transgressions. Jesus was wounded for it. He was wounded for our transgressions.

  438. How many of you have been wounded before. They have been wounded before.

  439. I was walking in my home office one time, barefooted, and I

  440. was rashing out of the office, and my pink, my little toe,

  441. he hits the door. Charie, I was wounded. Like one month.

  442. I still felt the wound, the pain of the wound. Now considering that,

  443. Charlie, what Jesus are said? Hey, he was wounded. He

  444. was bruised for our guilt and iniquities. He was what he was bruised.

  445. The Bible declares that they beat him, that his face deformed the way you

  446. like taking selfies. Imagine your face has deformed that you can't even recognize yourself

  447. in your own picture. He was beating for us. The chastisement of our

  448. peace and well being was laid upon him. What is required for us to

  449. have peace was put on him, so that you and I can have peace.

  450. Amen, So Easter, the passover, the feast of and living.

  451. It is not about the mood to order that is waiting for you. It

  452. is more than that. Amen. And with these stripes that wounded, the

  453. stripes wounded. The Romans were very wicked in those days, so they won't

  454. bring a callabonni cane. They had canes with stripes and metals. When they

  455. whip you and they pull it, flesh will come out. So the seven

  456. places Jesus shared his blood, one of them was when they whip him and

  457. they pull it, flesh will come out, and blood will gosh out.

  458. And all of that. He did it for you and I. Amen.

  459. He did it for you and I so that we can be protected from death.

  460. Because the wages of sin is that how many of you have say there

  461. before, give the Lord away and shame the devil. Amen. The wages

  462. of sin is what is death. So we are supposed to perish like the

  463. first bones of Egypt. But because of the sacrifice on the cross, you

  464. and I are still here. Amen. The son of God died. He

  465. came and died, so the sons of men can become the sons of God.

  466. So you and I can become the sons of God. It doesn't matter

  467. what I say names are, doesn't matter where we're born, doesn't matter whether

  468. I was starting a car before or not. But we also can be called

  469. what sons of God? Amen, sons of God, Oh, sons of

  470. God, My sons of God. He said much for it sons of God.

  471. Amen, So you and I can become the sons of God. Please

  472. give me my scripture. Amen. Next verse, all we like sheep,

  473. have gone astray because we were like sheep. We had gone our own paths,

  474. and we had turned everyone to our own way. And the Lord has

  475. made to light upon him the guilt and the iniquity of us. All.

  476. So, when Jesus died that shameful death on the Cross of Calvary, sometimes

  477. when we talk about the crucifation, we make it seem so glamorous. Charlie

  478. was a shameful death because our Lord was stripped. Amen. He was stripped.

  479. He wasn't even wearing goo goo wars boxes. He was stripped. Amen.

  480. Somebody said that if Jesus had known that Charlie, he probably had one

  481. nice boxes. But it was shameful. He was stripped and he was nailed

  482. to the cross, because the cross was the capital punishment for people in the

  483. Roman Empire who fought against the Roman ways of living, rebellious people. By

  484. Jesus was not rebellious, was he, No, he wasn't. But he

  485. was crucified as a common criminal. So the redemptive plan of our Lord can

  486. be set in motion for us. Amen. Let's look at Isaiah chapter fifteen

  487. nine, verse sixteen. So on that night, the son of Man placed

  488. himself as a bridge with all that Jesus suffered. He placed himself as a

  489. bridge to bridge us back to God, to reconcile us back to God,

  490. to redeem us back to God, to make us children of God back again.

  491. The original intent of God for the guardian of Iden, Adam and Eve

  492. now has been re established because of the lamb of God that hang on the

  493. cross, so that we also can have that same experience. Now, God

  494. doesn't need to come and walk with us in the garden in the cool of

  495. the nights. Glory to God. God lives in us now, Oh,

  496. hallelujah. He dwells in us now, hallelujah. He speaks to us now,

  497. hallelujah. He is in us now so constantly, twenty four hours a

  498. day. We have God with us, Amen, And he talks to us

  499. through our spirit because of his redemptive plan, because he wanted to have fellowship

  500. with Adam. And now because of Christ Jesus, God can have fellowship with

  501. you. And I is God good? Has God been good to somebody?

  502. Has God been kind to somebody? Has God saved somebody? Has God delivered

  503. somebody? Amen? So the songwriter wrote, safe here the one you say

  504. has come to ship you. So you should always have us of thanksgiving,

  505. because what Christ Jesus has done for us is no beings, and Gobe is

  506. greater than that. Amen is greater than that. So Jesus came finally to

  507. bridge the gap between us and God. And in conclusion, on the same

  508. night God placed on us the sprinkling of the blood. In the same night,

  509. God placed on us the sprinkling of the blood. The Bible says that

  510. the sprinkling of the blood speaks better things. The sprinkling of blood has the

  511. ability to pedge our conscience from dead works. The blood speaks, and it

  512. speaks better things. The blood of Jesus speaks the mind of God. The

  513. blood of Jesus speaks the purpose of God. The blood of Jesus speaks the

  514. will of God. The blood of Jesus speaks the overall plan of God for

  515. us. Amen. So we are marked by the blood. And so because

  516. we have been marked by the blood, the blood is speaking for us.

  517. Because if the blood of Abel is speaking to God, how much more the

  518. blood of Jesus who is speaking for us, the redemptive plan of Christ who

  519. is speaking for us. The love of God who is speaking for us,

  520. the kindness of God, the goodness of God who is speaking for us.

  521. The intent of God for our lives that is speaking for us. The plans

  522. of God are crying to Jeremia and I verse eleven that God says, I

  523. know the plants and thoughts I have for you, not evil plans, but

  524. good plans to bring you hope and the future. That even though you have

  525. not sat in an aeroplane before, in the mind of God you will own

  526. many planes. Though you have not owned a car before, in the mind

  527. of God, you own many cars. That even though where you come from

  528. people are born one and born two days, you don't have married. No

  529. one is married there. But by God's grace you will have a good marriage.

  530. You will have pleasant and godly children. A man that there won't be

  531. fighting in your house. Your neighbors will not know you for fighting a man,

  532. but there will always be peace in your dwelling. Because of this.

  533. Amen. So the Blood speaks, and he speaks better things. Amen.

  534. And during this time of Easter, My prayer for is that may the Blood

  535. of Jesus speak louder for you, a man, far above any altar in

  536. your bloodline, far above any blood that has been shed and put on any

  537. altar to bring you down. May the blood of Jesus speak louder in the

  538. name of Jesus, and by the speakings and the talkings of the Blood,

  539. may you be set free from any form of bondage in this season. May

  540. you be set free and be set loose into the liberty where which Christ has

  541. saved and delivered you. That in this season you will not be the same

  542. again. That in this season God can bring to bear his redemptive plan and

  543. his agenda in your life. That in this season God's kingdom can be established

  544. in you, and God's will will be done through you and in you.

  545. That in this season you will be everything that God has said and purpose.

  546. That in this season everything God has thought consenting you will come to pass,

  547. and everything He has purposed concerning you will stand. That in this season you

  548. will have the boldness to declare that I am a son of God. That

  549. in this season you have the boldness to declare that I am a child of

  550. God. Because of that which Christ Jesus has done for me on the cross

  551. of Calvary. Can I hear an abe? Can you please stand on your

  552. feeture, just for a moment. If you want to celebrate cheese Us,

  553. feel free to celebrate Jesus because He's good and it's mercy sen jobs forever.

  554. Amen. The sacrifice of Christ Jesus on the Cross of Calvary is the greatest

  555. sacrifice ever made in humanity because the highest altar was established when the blood of

  556. Jesus was sheard. Amen. And our advantage is that this altar was established

  557. for our redemption. You want to pray for yourself and engage the blood of

  558. Jesus and the talkings of the speakings of the blood that anything that has held

  559. you back, anything that has held you bound, that from today, by

  560. the blood of Jesus, you'll be set free and be set loose to fulfill

  561. all that God has papers for you. Can you open your mouth and just

  562. say that prayer to the Lord. Let's send me your name Jesus, raver

  577. the liberty where which you have set us free, in that from this season

  578. fourth we will walk in the freedom of God, and in the liberty that

  579. you have brought to us in the name of Jesus, Father or God,

  580. let your blood, the blood of your Son, the blood of the life

  581. of God, speak and let us speak better things for us. In Jesus'

  582. precious name. We pray with thanksgiving. Let a believer say and amen.

  583. Before I take the altar call, we want to pray for our father,

  584. the Archbishop Nicholas, Thankan Williams. We want to plead the blood of Jesus

  585. over him, his household and all that concerns him. That any altar that

  586. has been raised to fight his ministry, to fight his children, to bring

  587. him head and to bring him pain. That according to God's word, those

  588. whose minds are stayed on him, he keeps them in perfect peace. Because

  589. his mind is stayed on God. And in the things of God. The

  590. expectation or the outcome expected is peace. That we are praying for him,

  591. that God will keep him in perfect peace, the lot of Jesus. We

  592. speak better things for him. Can you open your mouth and pray for the

  593. servant of God. Father. We come before you this morning bearing up the

  600. fight your servants, Oh God, this morning, as we engage the speakings

  601. of the Blood and the talkings thereof, let every altar bow in the name

  602. of Jesus. Let every contrary alter bow in the name of Jesus. Let

  618. but you are not serious. If Jesus comes now, you'll be found

  619. wanting you want to surrender your life to Jesus. This is the testimony God

  620. has given to us that he who has a son has life. So if

  623. you, please come from wherever you are, walk to the front wherever you
