the holy spirit came down to join us and he's still here with us today so we're going to have an amazing holy spirit field service today in sydney i've been hearing them practice they're on point today so let's get ready to have an amazing time in the presence of the lord and i can't wait for the message that pastor thai has for us today so insignia over to you let's go yeah all right people all right people so right now we just want you to call somebody text somebody tell them that worship tabernacle is live right now okay all over your social medias you can send out tweets you can send

that as we enter into this service god that we are entering into your presence for those people that are here in the building for those that are watching over um this broadcast heavenly father whether they're live right now whether they're watching a re-broadcast father we ask that you will touch them at their place of need we pray heavenly father that as they connect with the service father that they will receive something that is of value to their life their week their month and the rest of their year father we give you thanks and we give you praise in the name that is above every name in jesus name we prayed and everyone at home and he said amen hallelujah the bible says i will bless the lord at all times and his praise shall continually be in my mouth what does that mean it means that irrespective of the season that you're in irrespective of what you can see with your naked eye you need to bless the lord because the lord is the same yesterday today and forevermore he is never changing your situation may change but our god is still in the business of blessing us hallelujah are you guys ready to praise are you guys ready to give him glory hallelujah here we go thank you bob [Music] is oh yes i'm breathing [Music] lay down [Music] [Music] let's do it again let's do it again right here in the building and you at home let's do it together let's do it again let's do it together let's do it again let's go from the top i will bless the lord at all times as long as i'm breathing as long as i breathe oh yes i'm breathing i'll bless the lord come on let's look as long as

lost my mind i should have been dead because you've been so good i want you guys to understand that this pentecost sunday the bible says that death and life is in the power of the tongue guys i don't know where you are because i've been through some valleys and i've been through some mountain times but i know that the trajectory of my mountain season is always predicated on what i do in the valley so if any of you are in a valley place i'm saying for you to lift up your voice and in spite of what you see and in spite of what you feel you need to declare in the atmosphere that my god has done better than good to me that he is better than good to me [Music] see hold on a second the bible says that faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen so that means you can't see what it is that you're hoping for you can't see it in the natural but if god has told you that you are healed then that means all you need to do is continue to speak what he said because in eternity it is already done and what we're waiting for is for time to catch up to eternity so you can't allow the situation to keep you silent you need to lift up your voice and you need to say you know what lord although i don't feel like it although it hasn't happened yet i'm gonna lift up my voice and i'm gonna say you've been better than good to me is that all right listen we're gonna sing that one more time there's gonna be testimonies of what he's about to do it's all right he's been better than good to me hallelujah he's been better than good he's been better than god [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] i should have been dead [Music] [Applause] one more time here we go [Music] give him glory come on come on come on come on this is sunday holy spirit coming this

your presence [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Music] [Applause] is [Music] [Applause] is [Music] your presence [Music] okay so you can tell it's pentecost sunday today boy the holy spirit is in the house so we have a word from the lord and it's in joshua chapter one from verse six and it says be strong and courageous for you the one who will lead these people to the to possess the land i swore to their ancestors i would give to them verse 7 be strong and very courageous be careful to obey all the instructions moses gave you do not deviate from them turning to either the left or to the right then you will be successful in everything that you do we are a church here who aims for success in reality and we use the word to do it and the word is saying several things pastor has been taking us on a journey his his gen z's and his homies yeah he's been talking to his homies at home he's been telling you keys for success he's been showing you the word that you may hear it day and night yeah for your own success that is one of our pin our pillars in this church so now it's time pastor is training us us the younger ones to now stand up and be leaders again and this is what joshua was doing [Music] moses was gone by pastor you won't die you won't die you stay alive you stay alive please stay alive we need you we need you but moses had passed away past i won't pass away he'll just be chilling and watching us for the background and it's time for us to stand up and god is saying what be strong and courageous things are going to happen things are going to happen to us it's not it's not easy but that's why god is saying be strong and courageous and in this verse seven he says be strong and very courageous why is he repeating himself like you didn't hear him the first time he wants you to know that this is really something that's not going to be easy so we need to pray today guys that as the lord has said may we be strong and maybe be courageous that this is our time our time has started now it's time for us to lead our generation and the ones after us into the land that god has promised them we have prayed for things and we most people anyway i don't want to go too deep but most people can identify that most of the things that they've gone through in their lives maybe their parents have done something that caused them to go left or to go right we the generation that's going to correct those things but we must be very strong and very courageous so let's pray together guys let's pray heavenly father i call upon you lord and i ask you to help us to be very strong and courageous oh lord may we be strong and courageous lord may you lead us lead our generation lord of god to possess to possess the things that you fooled us to possess lord of god may we be strong in this lord maybe be courageous lord may we turn to your word day and night lord may we turn to your word or lord day and night of god lord help us lord to be strong and courageous in your name i pray o lord amen so before i go into announcements i really feel like the first song that you guys started with was a real i mean you saw ulrich sweat and i passed

pentacles sunday somebody's thinking what is pentacles sunday it's uh when the whole this week came down for the first time not for the first time but just in the new dispensation came on to the disciples when they were up in the book of acts i'm just going to read it for you if you for some people who don't answer acts chapter 2 and verse 1 and the bible says when the day of pentecost has fully come he says they were all within one accord he says and there came a sound from heaven as a rushing mighty wind and it filled the whole house where they were sitting then there appeared to them divided tongues as of fire and one sat upon each of them and they were all filled with the holy spirit and began to speak with other tongues as the holy spirit gave them utterance so it was they it was a clear indication that this is what jesus came to do he died that we may have the holy spirit says i will give you another comforter and so all over the world people are celebrating pentecost sunday and having said that there is a uh what i would call uh a meeting at uh i think i'm sure it's at two o'clock today it's called uh let me just see if i can find it uh it's called pentacles sunday and it's been virtual pentacles they're over 45 000 people who are engaged in the virtual pentacles sunday and so it's on sky uh 582 but also if you want to join you can just go on to the their website which is called uh the virtual pentecost which will happen at 2 00 p.m today and it's going to be a wonderful main celebration will be 2 p.m with the live streams going out from 145 on facebook and youtube so you may just want to tune into that and just have a wonderful time as we celebrate pentecost sunday and because of that my message is in light with all that the band has sang today especially the last song that they had that jaira you are more than enough and i want to start a message uh a series this week which i call cure for the joyless cure for the joyless cure for the joyless and this is in line with kickstart in pentecost and bringing a new dimension of why the holy spirit came to give us joy and to empower us and i want to use the book of micah chapter seven and verse one if they can bring it up micah chapter seven and verse one and i'm using the message bible the book of micah chapter seven and verse one i'm overwhelmed with sorrow sunk in a swamp of despair i'm like someone who goes to the garden i'm not sure anyone is reading this or seeing this can you just put it up i'm not sure what is happening today and i'm trying to have uh to be content well i'm trying now the new computer i just bought you're all fired with the amount of money i just went straight no no no no no no no no no no no no no no all right guys let's go uh the book of micah chapter 7 holy spirit you are welcome here cure for the joyless write it down cure for the joyless mica chapter 7 verse 1 says i'm overwhelmed with soil sunk in a swamp of despair i'm using the message i'd like someone who goes to the garden to pick cabbages and carrots and prawn and returns empty-handed he says finds nothing for soup or sandwich or salad did you see that oh and then i'm going to verse 7 of market chapter 7. see the situation which this person was in since they're overwhelmed with sorrow they're sunk in a swamp of despair they said i'm like someone who goes to the garden to pick cabbages and carrots and corn and returns empty-handed finding nothing for soup or sandwich or just a salad but then he switches and in verse seven to eight he says but me i'm not giving up i'm sticking around to see what god will do i'm waiting for god to make things right i'm counting on god to listen to me don't enemy crowd over me i'm down but i'm not out i'm sitting in the dark right now but god is my light whoa says i'm sitting in the dark right now but god is my light this today's just an introduction one key sign of spiritual danger is losing your joy it's a key sign that something is wrong when you lose your joy when you lose the entirety of what pentecost is about is bringing the holy spirit to us to give us joy he says to be joyless listen to me to be joyless means not giving or feeling any pleasures or satisfaction to be joyless means that you are in a grim or decimal state listen to me carefully i want to bless someone today joyless christianity is dangerous and makes one operate from a sorrowful spirit sorrow does not only break the spirit it blocks your access to god listen to me joyless christianity is dangerous because it makes us operate from a sorrowful spirit progress is never made from a joyless or sorrowful spirit the devil knows this listen to me that if he can keep you sorrowful then he can keep you from being resourceful in fourth psalm chapter 30 listen to me until david overcame the sorrow and the grief that he felt at ziggler that's not my scripture he was powerless to take appropriate steps to reverse the situation they had come to raise the entire place they had come to take his wife and take the the wives and the children of all those who are with him and then he stood there they were about to stone him and the bible says david wept but then david overcame that soul that spirit of sorrow that was about to rest and take control over him he arrested that spirit and then he says bring me the urine and the through me let me hear the voice of god he strengthened himself he governed his feeling he sought the face of god and then he prevailed you will never succeed from a joyless spirit let me encourage someone this morning let me talk to you let me talk to you about let me talk to you sis let me talk to you uh my homies let me talk to you guys the main aim to get you depressed is to make you less resourceful it's a trick it's a trick guys listen to me honestly it wants to isolate you and then decimate you listen to me again listen to me again don't play with that thing because troubles will come and you got to get to a stage where you would say jai lai you're more than enough because trouble will come i cannot promise you or insulate you from troubles i can't tell you that when you want to buy that property there won't be issues i can't tell you when you won't get married there won't be issues i can't tell you when you start that business there won't be issues i can't tell you that you won't face issues in your parents home if you even with your siblings even with your wife with your husband with your children i can't tell you that that will not happen but the main thing you need to understand is that you can never operate perfectly well from a joyless or a soulful spirit that's the aim of the devil to keep you isolated to decimate you in the book of forsal when we read about hannah hannah was sorrowful but was still in the presence on the house of god meaning that you can come to church and still feel sorrowful meaning you can be in church and still be joyless and one of the best things about coming to church i mean we are in church there's a few people in church sorry i said that but yeah rather than church and there's such an atmosphere you understand i mean they couldn't count the cameras or where we were down there we were just dancing and you know shouting around there's not many people so we can walk all over the place and dance and jump because there is a spirit of joy in the house that we believe in the name of jesus is projecting over to you at home but many people can still be in church and still be joyless in fact many people can walk into church and the fact that they saw that person sorrow comes on them this is the fact that they just as they were walking through the door the person they wanted to avoid that's what i don't understand when you get to heaven i'm not sure what is going to happen when guys have you ever sat down to think that this person i'm avoiding in church if i die or we die does god want to take you into heaven to mess that place up again are you going to get to heaven and when you see them it doesn't happen like that but you can walk into church and immediately your spirit drops you can walk into your house and immediately your spirit drops let me give you an example when you look at the book when you when you look at hannah hannah was soulful but was still in the house of god and i wanted a shout out from god but listen to me as long as she was looking sorrowful god did not answer her why was anna suffer if you go into four summer chapter 1 verse 15 look at what the bible says there the lady was operating from a sorrowful spirit in four summer 115. yeah the the the the bible says and anna answered and says no my lord i am a woman of a sorrowful spirit i have drunk neither wine nor strong drink but i have poured out my soul before the lord she was a woman of a sorrowful spirit why was anna's soulful i mentioned this before some time ago when you do a quick search she had elkanah who was her husband and then she had pinaya or penina who was her rival the second wife but this guy just didn't marry her like that because many people want to blame the men but when you look into the jewish tradition and you look at the jewish women's chronicles it did suggest that pinayas she had 10 sons based on the comments of khanna he says am i not better than 10 sons when you read the mishrash uh it suggests that after 10 years if the woman is not fruitful then the man is entitled to take up a second wife so that they can have children from there that's the reason why you saw abraham's wife says take this woman and she will bear children to you it's in their tradition it's in their law so the mishra suggests that after 10 years when the woman is not fruitful alcana took up his second wife which is known as penina and she had 10 sons and then it means that anna and elkanah must have been married for over 20 years are you following what i'm saying so you can understand how the situation can make the woman sorrowful you go from trusting god to believing god to doubting god and then you fall into that abyss of sorrow and it happens to all of us may i say this to someone watching me online don't feel guilty or depressed because you're not happy don't feel that you have sinned because you're not happy don't let the devil deceive you by shocking you to one side and keeps plummeting you with guilt that i thought you had faith see where you are let me first give you the first clue it happens to all of us but there's cure for that situation don't commit suicide don't self-harm don't destroy yourself don't hide away from your friends don't hide away from god because we can see that one of the biggest things that anna did is she went into the house of god some leaders some people are going to kill me right now for what what i'm about to say if you're alone at home and you need an outlet and you're fully vaccinated or you've done a test i can allow you to just pop up and sit down somewhere until we open the church if you just need an outlet i'm not going to bring the law to keep you there just feel this in my spirit you may just want to just come into a different place come it's enough did you hear what i just said come this open we'll take your details wear your mask because one of the biggest issues about this period this coronavirus is that it's isolated many people and there's a mental issues going all over the place the house of god the presence of god is important ana faced it elijah faced it but one day listen to me this is what i want someone to get and whenever i stop today i stop but listen to ana's situation for one day but one day she made room for joy in her heart then god visited her for summer chapter 1 and verse 18. look at what it says it says and she said let thy handmaid find grace in your sight so the woman went away and did it and her countenance was no more sad one day just one day just one day she found room for joy in her heart and she went on to eat and her countenance changed let me give you these nuggets god does not visit the sorrowful he only visits those who know how to praise him in spite of their circumstance you've got to get this guys i'm trying to help you i'm not shouting or screaming today god did not visit anna until joy came into our life being depressed being joyless being soulful is not going to gather sympathy from god what is going to change your life is if you can come into the presence of god and you can say to yourself in spite of my circumstance god is still with me let's go back to our first scripture which they conveniently missed in the book of micah listen to what it says this person is overwhelmed with soul this person is swarmed in despair this person says it just looks like me going to the garden to pick up cabbages and carrots and coins and i return empty-handed find nothing for soup sandwich or salad but look at what how they switched nothing changed until they switch it says but me are not giving up am i talking to someone don't give up i'm sticking around to see what god will do i'm waiting for god to make things right i'm counting on god to listen to me and then he speaks to the enemy something within them saying to them don't enemy cry over me i'm down but i'm not out i want somebody to be able to say i can be down but i'm not out i wanted to use the message this i wanted to change the message but i felt it could be controversial because my my main topic was broken but not buried i can be broke but i'm not buried i can be broke but i'm not finished i may not have a child but that doesn't mean i'm childless i mean i have money but that does not mean i'm poor ah because jaira is more than enough for me my riches is not in how much money i can count but in how much god i have if someone hear me what i'm saying you will never be strong from a sorrowful spirit listen to me we become what we worship so if we worship sorrow we become sorrow proverbs chapter 15 and verse 15 the new living translation it says for the despondent every day brings trouble listen to me guys i'm fighting for your life right now he says for the despondent every day brings trouble for the happy heart life is a continuous feast meaning there is no healing in sorrow if you're despondent and you continue being despondent every day will start to bring trouble you will see things in the light of your despondency there are certain principles that provide cure for the joyness and if you have these always at the back of your mind you are sure to overcome everything that tries to break your heart things are there to break you but god is there to make you things are there to break you but god is there to make you things are there to break you but god is there to make you there is cure for the joyless listen to me someone the first thing i need you to do can you give me a few more minutes let me finish this is if you want to receive cure the first medicine i will give you is shift your focus shift your focus second convention let me let me rush through this quickly second convention in chapter and chapter 4 and verse 17 to 18 says for our present troubles are small and won't last very long this trouble won't last very long please say to yourself at home this will not last very long 10 years 20 years this woman was going through but it didn't last very long very long means it would not last too long very long means it's not permanent in your life very long means weeping can resist through the night but joy will come in the morning he says but even though i go through this trouble it says yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever verse 18. he said so we don't look at the troubles we can see now we don't look at the troubles we can see now rather we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen for the things that we see now will soon be gone that trouble will go i promise you but the things we cannot see will last forever when they were ministering this morning before announcement he says though you god is invisible but he's visible in all our lives the holy spirit was invisible but he came upon them and then started to walk in the inside of them and those who were hiding behind the scene suddenly became the champions when the holy spirit rests upon you you will no more be hiding behind the scenes it will take you from obscurity to prominence you got to understand that shift your focus how do i shift my vocals you know i always teach number one don't be short-sighted the reason we are depressed and we lack joy is because we are short-sighted sometimes we have an insufficient view of god we view circumstances through a temporal view that's what the israelites did they viewed their circumstances through the temporary view they saw the giants in the land they got joyless they saw the giants in the lands they became sorrowful they never saw it through the eyes of god they saw it through their circumstance listen to me countless christians are praying and fasting but are waiting a sad end the severity of their adversity has paralyzed their thoughts and relegated them to a victim mentality which says it is now beyond control the book of hebrews chapter 12 verse 2 he says let us fix our eyes on jesus the author and the perfecter of our faith the greek word perfecter means the completer the finisher and speaks of bringing something to a conclusion this troubles conclusion will be that you will come out of this better don't fix your eyes on circumstances and what you see which is only temporal i'm childless sorry am i using i'm husband-less or wifeless those are temporary things i'm jobless those are temporary things my friends and my family seems to have made it in life they are temporary things god says stop looking at your circumstances stop looking at me through your circumstances you've got to understand this that there's cure for the joyless move out of focus allow god to become the focus although you can't see him he is still pleasant listen to me listen to me guys don't move the camera just stay where you are don't don't don't follow me stay where you are i'm out of focus right now but can you still hear me i'm out of focus right now but my voice is still speaking i'm out of focus right now and i can command the things that are out of focus to come into focus so i can tell them focus on me right now because even though i'm out of focus i can still be in focus even god is not there he still owns he's still in command he's still in charge god is saying though you can't see me but my hands are still walking on your behalf though you can't see me i'm still the god that you need to focus on focus on what i can do another situation though you can't see me no i'm not there at the moment but i can still control the time that they need to focus on me i may take you out right now but i'm going to take you back in and gradually and gradually and gradually and gradually and gradually you come back into focus because god sees beyond what you can see but if you are soulful and joyless you will never know when god is moving in your life so the first thing i want you to do is don't be short-sighted the second thing i want you to do is don't become the distraction i didn't say don't be distracted i said you should not become the distraction focus on the prize and not the fact focus on the prize and not the fact remember some time ago i heard this pastor fever said this focus on the prize and not the fact for hannah the fact was childlessness that childlessness was the distraction and she became the distraction the absence of the child was a distraction but she now made that absence of the child become her and then her listen to me is the one who can give birth to the child but she stood in the way of giving birth to the child because she became the distraction by being joyless and sorrowful and many of us god wants to walk through us but we have become the distraction so everyone is looking at you how are you things are bad you become the distraction can i help you i'm not in the mood you have become the distraction they give you a phone call to check on you you don't pick up the phone you have become the distraction the thing that distracted you has now become you because you've worshipped it so much that you are now become the sorrow don't be the distraction sorrow becomes the distraction that becomes the hindrance god did not want to give hannah a child listen to me guys both in church and at home listen to me god did not want to give hannah a child i'm going to repeat myself god did not want to give anna a child he wanted to give israel a prophet you're looking for the child but god wants to give a profit you're looking for the boy god wants to give you a husband you're looking for a girl god wants to give you a wife that's why there's a delay because where you're going that floozy can't take you there where you're going that six-pack can't take you there where you're going the legacy you want to leave behind those things you're seeing around you that's chasing after you or you're chasing after can't take you there ignore the short sketch so you don't have a short life oh i said i'll be nice today you got yo you gotta pray for me now ignore it ignore all the shots get so you don't have a short life ignore the six-pack so you even don't pack up before your time don't become the distraction don't become potiphar's wife don't let potiphar's wife which is the distraction become your destruction god didn't want to give her a son but a prophet and we see that samuel was ten times better than all the sons even the sons of eli eyes on the prize guys eyes on the prize eyes on the prize because when you set your eyes on the price it will give you the strength the bible says for jesus because he looked at the thing that was before him he what he endured the cross goliath was the prize the brothers were the destruction and when he got there they put some animals upon him they put the sword they gave him the sword they gave him the helmet they gave him the breastplate they gave him the things that would protect his leg and he walked he says i can't walk in this because i've now become the distraction take this off because the only thing that works for me is my sling and my stone many of us have become the distraction many of us have sunk ourselves so much deep into sorrow that we have become the distraction and the devil is laughing you know why he's laughing because he knows that god is powerless when we are soulful but god is powerful when we are joyful nothing happened to anybody in the bible who operated from a soulful spirit don't become the distraction shout to yourself i will not become the distraction say i will not be short-sighted and last thing is don't look down thank you man look up look up psalm 35 psalm 34 and verse 5 he says they looked on to him and they were lightened and their face was not ashamed she came into the house of god david what am i going to do they're going to stone me he looked up give me the urim and the thumbing how am i going to deal with this child give me god how am i going to deal with these finances jaya you are more than enough let that song resonate in your spirit this week many are depressed because of what they're looking at that's why you see pastor fight for social media i don't say it is bad we operate it but don't look at it look up look at god look at social media through the eyes of your god be an influencer of joy and not a dispenser of sorrow look up guys we are depressed and sorrowful because of what we're looking at can i ask a question who becomes sorrow by themselves most of the things that we fight against or the most of the things that paralyze us is what we're looking at anna was looking at benign i wasn't looking at god and sooner or later she became the distraction look up we we're looking too much into the things that are controlled in our lives listen to me look up what you give attention to controls you you become what you continually focus on keep your head up keep your head up some some of you your heads are too down in fact some of you type be nice be nice be nice i'm trying i'm trying i'm trying to tell you don't become hunchback every time you're on your phone like this every time you're on your computer like this every time you're on your ipad like this every time you're on your android samsung like this and we don't realize that those things are making us to look down and keeping us down and many of us don't realize how much is doing to our posture our poster is down it's weighing us down he's giving us grams and making it instant in our lives it's putting us down we're facing the wrong book it's putting us down and we use our computers and every time it's like this it's like this but if you are going to look up you have to lift up your head and the book of psalms 24 7 to 8 he says lift up your heads o ye gates and be lift up ye everlasting doors and the king of glory shall come in who is the king of glory the lord strong and mighty the lord mighty in battle if there's going to be a lifting up you've got to lift the head up stop walking around with your head down lift up your head the lifting up of the head when it says lift up your head all ye gates let the king of glory come in it's let the god who is strong come in lifting up the head does two things lifting up the head is a sign of joyous anticipation and hope when one lifts up their head it is a sign of hope and joy and it characterizes the person's how to look towards life when one lifts up their head is an indication of offering hope and joy where there is none it will not say lift up your head all you get if the gates were not closed lift it up lift up your head guys don't keep your heads down don't keep looking down lift your heads up bible says in in psalm 121 and that's one he says i will lift up my eyes onto the hills whence cometh my head my help my help comes from the lord who made the heaven and the earth but listen to me i will lift up my eyes can you lift up your eyes by putting your head down lift up your head your head your head is what is anointed first before your hands are anointed lift up your head lift up your head because the first thing lifting up the headpins is it brings joyous anticipation number two the second thing the lifting of the head signifies is promotion genesis chapter 40 and verse 13. he says yet within three days shall pharaoh lift up your head why didn't he say lift up your hand says he will lift up your head and restore you unto thy place and thou shalt deliver pharaoh's cop into his hands after the former manner when thou was before a butler god wants to lift up somebody's heads you may not have money to do the sandwich as according to mike the book of micah you may be going to walk and coming back and then you look around you and your fridge is empty lift up your head because the king of kings wants to come in lift up your head because depression looks down low self-esteem is looking down copying someone else is looking down not being content is looking down your inability to get a wife or to get a husband or to be engaged may be related to your ability of always looking down on yourself looking for a validation from egypt is looking down bowing instead of trusting god is looking down when you insult god it's because you fail to look up you keep looking down looking at your bank balance before you embark on a project it's looking down look up guys for every environment is conducive for the covenant those who look around don't go far those who look up are the ones that stay up and unto those gates your eye gates your air gate and your mouth gates are lifted up the king of king will not come in and soul won't go out when he says lift up your head what is connected to the head guys my eyes my mouth and my ears those are the three eye gates the three gates into your soul lift them up because the king of kings will come in do not operate from a joyless spirit sorrow is not yours pentecost has come the holy spirit has come and guys you will not may you will make it but only from the spirit of joy
