have for the lord this sunday morning if there's somebody who's glad that they're not in a hospital they're not lying down at home you're not crippled somewhere but somehow god kept you and you are in the house of the lord this sunday morning then go ahead and bless the name of the lord give him a shout of praise let out a shout of victory and triumph over what you survived this week amen amen amen and we welcome all our online viewers each church members and those of you who are worshiping with us for the first time we're excited to have you worship with us and i want us to just take a moment and just thank god for minister chi you did an incredible job you ministered so beautifully even while you know you were ministering pastor paul leaned over even though he's busy and said my goodness i'm so proud of the whole lmgc you know rcgc all of you the him i mean i think i think i'm beginning to like the him part of the services you know maybe the more i don't know we have our days but incredible job to the entire team and even the instrumentalists because if the music was out of place you know it'd be different so can we take a moment and appreciate the gift of ministry of music in the house this sunday morning amen and amen and amen hallelujah we're standing in 2022 january and already halfway anybody excited amen as i sat down there i just thought about how i think for him also how faithful god is and how he brings us through without us even knowing what we're going through and i thought my goodness if i didn't have jesus who will i be if i didn't have the word coming at me the way the word comes because i don't know about you but sometimes i get a little weary discouraged and go and to actually get it together myself i'm excited to come through those doors on sunday and just hear the words sunday after wednesday sunday after wednesday because it picks me up when i can't pick myself and this morning we are so blessed because i thought about how god orchestrates that this man of god is anointed with many graces you know that and you're a beneficiary of that that he has an assignment to disappoint everything that has to do with the kingdom of darkness as he enthrones god's kingdom here on earth i think that is evident but today i'm particularly excited because not only is he anointed and you know he has an assignment to disappoint he's appointed today to minister to you and me because normally on the on midway with month and january we don't have the privilege of having him minister to us so i know god has a word for you and for me if you're excited and your heart is opened up to receive that word put your hands together and receive god's servant our pastor pastor paula de francis for the furtherance of this morning service [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] oh [Applause] a certain gentleman said that he did not know whether it was in the body or out of the body but in his personal relationship with god he was caught up into the third heavens and he beheld things that are forbidden for a man to speak it was these kind of encounters that god gave to him in a very deep relationship that really anointed his life and the powerful truth that i want to use that to convey to you is that as rich as his experiences were be revelation because if you marry somebody and you go to the altar and you say i do i do i will i will etc etc and then 15 years up the road you have all these discoveries that you didn't know you were getting married to 15 years earlier because relationship requires revelation if you don't reveal yourself to him or she doesn't reveal herself to you or you don't reveal yourself to her in fact mutually there can be no relationship relationship is what allows the power of one to become the power of the other and the power of the other to become the power of the one this is critical because to come into a relationship with god he must reveal himself and in order to reveal himself you must have a need and your need must be fierce enough to make you desperate enough to look for something beyond the horizontal a power from a different dimension who's also a person and it's in the throes of that trial that test did you say god show me that you are my healer not just the one who heals me but that you're my healer show me that you are my strong defender show me that you are my shield and my buckler and the glory and the lifter above my head anybody who got any revelation of god got it because they were desperately needy for him to show himself in that way and that's what makes you uncover yourself and reveal yourself to him your need to him and he responds to what he created deliberately and reveals himself to you so it's naked to naked no obscenity there it's beyond the panoply of flesh it's beyond merely the argumentations of your soulish realm it's heart to heart deep calls on to deep deep this is what powerful anointings powerful movements powerful persons in christ are made of a relationship that has been seasoned through the trials of life so that when you were thirsty he showed you that he was water out of a rock when you were hungry he revealed himself to you as the bread that even though all hell is trying to kill you that he's the bread of life when you were broke no soap no hope disgustedly broke he showed you that i am the lord god your provider all you have need of i have already provided when you were uncovered and the sweltering heat of the sun would burn you and fry you half to death he revealed to you that i'm the pillar of cloud and the covering of your head david said deliver me from the strivings of the people's tongues and god did that he gave them something else to talk about if you are glad that in spite of your trials you've recognized that there are opportunities for god to show himself to you and so you know him progressively first as the bread of life then water out of a rock then god your strong place your strong tower your refuge you know him in so many more facets but you'll never exhaust the facets in a lifetime or an eternity and you're glad that he is your god the father of the lord jesus christ i want you to thoughtfully just think about how good he is you were down on the floor but he became your pick upper he was your picker-upper you were broken you didn't want to open the door and go out to face the world but it was your shining light and the brilliance of your glory so that nobody knew what hell you were going through in fact they admired the glory that has become your code go ahead honor your king you don't need to be told to honor him it takes a thoughtful person to praise god rock sound you're choking my sound release me i want to be free go ahead don't let us interrupt you give god his glory he deserves it absolutely this is is that is you know you know this is what you're doing let that all of you who don't have a relationship with god do nothing but the rest of you who are enjoying the relationship its impact in your life then go ahead and give him some real glory in his house glory to god he is awesome you may be seated early after you've greeted about four or five persons let them know how glad you are to be seated behind beside a powerhouse like this like you happy birthday to minister n o michael last friday the 14th of january the day you were born is a day to be commemorated celebrated because you are a blessing to the body of christ not only here but globally now with all that you are and do and for everybody in lmgc the special rendition this morning by qi i wasn't in the praise and worship but i'm sure it was phenomenal and if you agree please put your hands together to the lord for these great great ministry teams that make up the music directorate with mixed feelings we announce the transition to glory of one of our long-standing parishioners and dear friend to our family herself and her husband we announced the transition of deaconess kanke salako who passed on friday the 7th of january 2022 and a memorial service will be held in her honor at the house on the rock 48 tuffnut park road london n70ps london n70ps at 10 30

commiserate with the dimka family and the salako family and i had to in spite of my not being able to be there physically prepare a video this morning for transmission at the funeral service tomorrow internment will follow not immediately thereafter but as announced by the family the woman to woman 21 days of fasting and prayer enters its final week this week prayer meeting holds daily at 6 30 a.m on instagram and facebook at ify at the pharasi it's not too late to join the fast remember even if you joined last the last shall be first and the first shall be last power bound in the place of prayer and i've caught moments of that prayer meeting from time to time during the last two weeks and i'm saying this woman is taking my job put your hands together of pasta fire for the wonderful work she's doing in the ministry of prayer and ministry to women we are delighted to announce that ages one to four of our children's church also known as the rock kids zone will resume classes on sunday february the 6th all safety protocols remain in place and we are joined parents to keep any child that is feeling unwell at home for their well-being and that over others in addition it was remiss of me to have failed to mention our gratitude as a family and our gratitude as the pastoral families for your show of love the kind gifts during the yuletide christmas season and as we came into the new year we're overloaded with the blessing of your hampers your kind words kind wishes and we would like to say a very big thank you to you for communicating with us in that way may god bless you all immensely on behalf of the pastoral families and the adequacy family it's our custom to welcome all our first-time visitors who are with us for the very first sunday here at house on the rocks rock cathedral parish and so if it's your first sunday would you kindly oblige us and stand to your feet for a few moments we'd like to place into your hands this information card and also extend you the warm hand of christian fellowship as we receive you into service this sunday morning glory to god please remain standing for several more moments us have some information cards they'd like to give to you and have you give back to an usher sometime before the end of this morning service whilst you remain standing whilst you remain standing my name is paul adefarasi on behalf of this wonderful church family we're truly glad very excited that you were able to make it here this sunday morning that's why we really want to ask you to really pray and say god where is that place that you have designed me for and designed for me because when you find that place you will blossom and flourish like you can absolutely nowhere else now there are many great churches in the city of lagos where you would do well should the lord lead you there and my happy recommendation is the guiding light assembly the fountain of life church the daystar christian center the redeemed evangelical mission known as trem the redeemed christian church of god and the salem church literally next door if god should lead you as you perfectly seek him to any of those places my personal guarantee is that your life will never be the same again but as you prayerfully consider i would like to further recommend to you the house on the rock because when you join hearts and faith whether praying praising a word-based grace-based company like this one the very power fire and the enormity of god's goodness and the gladness of his anointing will rest powerfully in your life and fountain up like the spreadings and the gushings of a giza so that you can become all that god has called you to become and do everything that he has purpose for you to do and this is our wish and this is our prayer that as you pray that you remember that these doors are always wide open it's with eager anticipation we look forward to having you back as a part of the house on the rock family because we really believe that we can do great things together as we collaborate your gift set your skill set make it skillful and mature and bring it together with all the gift sets in this family around the country and now around the world and as we do so together we believe that we'll be able to make craft and create a nation whose builder and maker is god and it's a worthy bequeathal to the generations coming after us and so as you perfectly consider i'd like to share with you a little secret if you will permit me it's my desire and something i would really cherish if you would give me the opportunity i would really like to be your pastor is that all you got church you got to let them know i'm okay good enough faster and and you came on a good sunday um and i believe that god will bless you in everywhere and the congregation is really glad that you came and we celebrate your visit with us and we hope it will be your last visit and from here on we're trusting that you might choose if you live in lagos to become a part of this church family god bless you may be seated in god's wonderful presence if you have a bible don't take it yet listen to these quick announce quick testimonies michael testifies about admission says good morning pastor paul good morning church after three years of applying for admission at the university of oxford i finally got admitted with a waiver of some critical requirements i couldn't afford it because i didn't get scholarship so i informed the university that i wouldn't be attending however miraculously the school informed me that they've decided to defer my admission to 2023 to give me the time to raise the funds in the same end of 2021 i got admission to the prestigious london school of economics i also got promoted at the office and the lord made the end of 2021 a great time for me and i am grateful for that in jesus mighty name we thank god with you michael and we call from the four treasuries of the earth politics and government

university sandra okoro also testifies she says good morning pastor paul i have been a member of house of the rock for 20 years i joined protocol welfare department in 2007 and since then i have seen god's goodness and mercy in my life all your messages and prophecies over the years have indeed manifested in my life in no small way this year during one of your preaching preachings pastor paul you asked us to write down what we want god to do for us i specifically prayed for promotion at my place of work and free accommodation also recently pastor you mentioned that someone going for an interview would be favored by god i said amen to every single word of knowledge i never knew i would be attending an interview there happened to be an opening at my place of work and i immediately applied for it while updating my cv i remembered a sister in the media team who testified that that she included her house on the rock media department experience in her curriculum vitia and so i included my pastoral welfare experience in my cv2 i applied on december the 6th and on monday the 12th of december i received an email inviting me for an interview needless to say that the interview was hot but god granted me favor after one week i received a congratulatory mail saying it saying i was the best among all of those who applied for the same position my free accommodation was also granted in leckie phase one thank you my pastor may the oil on your head never run dry indeed god did me a favor here's uche testifying and she she writes i read good morning papa good day church 2021 didn't start on the bright side for me i had i had and still have issues with family and finances this led me to the dark corner of depression severe anxiety and the fear of a heart attack and it was really bad but as god always makes a way even in tight corners he ordered my steps to house on the rock i started attending this church officially in january and i must say that coming here one of my blessings is one of my blessings from 2021. you see those greeters at the door then the ushers even with the masked son then lmgc dot dot dot dot i don't know how but they reminded me that god was right with me then the cherry on the top pastor paul's messages made me see my life better than i used to and now i understand that god is still love even in the fire i no longer have worry anxiety and depression attacks thank you pastor and all of you who make this church what it is the house of god can i have the remaining testimony please then god will collect it from you glory to god if you have a testament and it's really great i want you to rush here if you're sitting in the lower ground come quickly quickly come come quickly if you have a testimony and you want to share it going okay here she comes and while she's coming i cannot take this away i don't have time good morning pastor paul good morning church in november 2021 i was able to come to church for a whole month so i took part in the communion service i am aware of the power of the blood of jesus as taught us by our pastor i have been going back and forth with the gynecologist concerning my monthly cycle for three years i often would spend the whole day or sometimes months visiting the hospital for different consultations on the same issue i was placed on a birth control pill but got tired because i was gaining a lot of weight my family and my friends didn't stop telling me how fat i was getting and how short i was i became anorexic as nothing and slipped into depression during the covet season suddenly i got irritated with the often hospital visits and drugs and i knew that my answer wasn't with the doctor who seemed disinterested in my situation seth scf seth i was scheduled for a pelvic scan a dietitian and physiotherapy on the day of my appointment the pelvic scan of the pelvic scan i was led to go see the dietitian and the physiotherapist i got to the dietitian and was asked to go pay a certain amount of money which i didn't want to pay anyways because i believed god will heal me so i proceeded to the physiotherapist and it was there that light shone on my situation the doctor told me that i cannot be on birth control pills and expect to lose weight i went for the scan i didn't bother waiting to see any doctor again i read the scan result from the screen supernaturally by myself and i went home i marked my calendar for my next menstrual cycle in december during the september december communion services i was so blessed and i specifically told god i want his blood to flow through me like a regular female i would say the power of his blood well the date i had marked on the calendar went by but somehow i had peace and knew that any time god comes he is never late on christmas eve i went to school already prepared for my flow god flow but on christmas eve i ignore the nudge to prepare for it on getting to the hostel i met a girl who was going through the exact same situation as mine and i was encouraging and praying for both her and myself when suddenly i felt a pump and an suddenly god flowed through me just like he said he would i am grateful for you pastor paul and for the house we have i have faith for my sister who has same situation and my friends flow as well i have many more testimonies that i would share forever but my menses has ended once again good afternoon church we serve a faithful god so she had an issue of blood that didn't cease until she trusted god and then it happened would you deliver me from these if you don't mind sirs and now if you have a bible actually we have a testimony please come quickly don't bring it don't don't bring her it might be strained gc i have two minutes thank you um my name is emonina but um i really think you understand more so yeah you're blocking like you're blocking the camera i really talk slow when i'm talking so to not mix words so i have it on the paper it's long it's it's it's a testimony that i have to give i have to give priority to the word of god this is the second one and it has to wait for testimony service you must appreciate that so the the commandment is you will be brave i talk really slow so that's why i have it here okay i will host the testimony at another time i will have to do that the word of god is preeminent and the screeners use the brain screeners use the brain matthew chapter 15 and verse 21 no offense intended but i'm sure the testimony is remarkable but we're here primarily to receive the word of god in response to our worship matthew 15 verse 21 to 28 but first of all let us read matthew 19 and verse 30. and i would ask an english major to summarize her testimony to a precede of three paragraphs and we'll take it from there if i had known uh or if i had remembered i would have done that testimony instead matthew 19 and verse 30 if you're there say something if you can't find it yet look at the media screen and i'll give you a few preliminary verses from verse 28 verily i say unto you that you which have followed me in the regeneration when the son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory you also shall sit upon twelve thrones judging the 12 tribes of israel and everyone that has forsaken houses or brethren or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands for my name's sake shall receive a hundredfold and shall inherit everlasting life but many that are first shall be last and the last shall be first remember that the first shall be last many of them and the last shall be first matthew 15 and verse 21 reading all the way to verse 28. and jesus went thence and departed into the coast of tyre and sidon and behold a woman of canaan came out of the same coast and cried unto him saying have mercy on me o lord thou son of david my daughter is grievously vexed with the devil but he answered her not a word and his disciples came and besought him saying send her away for she cries after us but he answered and said i am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of israel then came she and worshiped him saying lord help me but he answered and said it is not me to take the children's bread and cast it to dogs dogs meaning people without a covenant with israel's god verse 27 and she said truth lord yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters table then jesus answered and said unto her oh woman great is your faith be it unto you even as you want it even as you will and her daughter was made whole from that same or very hour i want you to look at four people and tell them you have the advantage because you can have the advantage to be and do things that you never thought you had the advantage for you can have the advantage and feel like an outsider to what the advantage provides for others from whom you feel you are excluded and this morning that's what i want to address con continuing a series that i'm calling the outsiders us pray father bless your word from it let it churn like milk into butter for the young amongst us but let it also bring forth the meat of your glory as we look into the word of life that there might be deliverance direction wisdom imparted righteousness received as an imputation and favor acknowledged and accepted as the propulsion for which you give man to make him her all that they can be to do all that you want them to fulfill in destiny's purpose we ask now almighty god for the anointing that makes communication revelation easy to receive we pray in jesus name thanking you for all the great things that are done in this morning service and everybody who believes say a big amen you may be seated in god's wonderful presence and tell a neighbor watch out for me i have the advantage the principle of the new covenant is unlike the principle of the old covenant in the old the principle was performance it was obedience-based you got nothing unless you did good you would not get good and the principle of the new testament is not disobedience based either but in the new system that is the new covenant the principle is faith if you're going to get anything from god you will get it by faith whether it's immaterial virtuous or material faith is transformational that's why it's important faith is reposed in another and that other in whom we repose our faith is very god a very god incarnate man incarnate into man god was not born he took a body he took a fetus he took a little blood clot and concent concentrated himself into that space it would be like you with all your many virtues facets aspects capacities and competences size and scale being compressed into a little cockroach or a mosquito as a parallel metaphor and imagine this infinite god condensing himself first into a little blood clot a conceived egg in his mother's womb and would grow through nine months of fetal development and then be born as a baby yet still he remained god his cognitive powers were not developed until he began to move from infancy towards adolescence yet he was still the omniscient god he was still the omnipresent god yet he humbled himself to take the form of a man even the form of a fetus so faith is transformational when we repose it in him faith then engages another to produce your own transformation so when i put faith in him it changes my life by changing my conceptions my perceptions my sensibility of him whilst in the contrary obedience is not transformational obedience is built on self-effort obedience is essentially then self-will unless it comes from god then it is faith and in the old system sin was the transgression of boundaries laws statutes and ordinances whilst in the new system anything that does not proceed from faith he calls sin so the principle then is that god does not want us to do anything if our hearts are not involved in it in matthew 15 verse 8 and 9 matthew 15 verse 8 and 9 jesus says this people draw near to me with their mouths and honor me with their lips but their heart is far from me verse 9 they act like they're they worship me but they don't really mean it they just use me as a cover for teaching whatever suits their fancy and i was quoting from the message in verse 9 so please put the message up so when you look carefully at deuteronomy 28 and i won't be be citing any of the verses there the first 14 verses speak about your obedience and how the obedience provokes god's blessing upon your life in 14 verses then from verse 15 forward if you are disobedient or you fail to be obedient a long litany in 58 verses tells you how cursed you will be and i read through some of those curses and i don't know about you but i thank god that i am not under the law i thank god that the law no longer pertains to me because christ came to fulfill the law on my behalf and sat my own exam paper passed it in flying colors in the examination of life and credited those scores to me so that when the father looks at my accreditation report i am credited i am justified i am deemed as having fulfilled the law completely and therefore i have certain rights and benefits are pertinent to those who are deemed righteous not by the law but righteous by faith in christ romans 5 verse 1 we are justified by obedience no we are justified by faith through christ jesus our lord hallelujah to god and so i don't get my blessing based on obedience neither do i get cursed based on disobedience i get blessed because it is written in galatians 3 and verse 13 and 14 that cursed is everyone that hangs upon a tree verse 14 that christ became accursed for us that the blessing of christ or the blessing of abraham might be upon those who don't know the law the gentiles thank god that that old system has been abolished let's look at hebrews 12 in the king james version uh sorry king james version hebrews 8 verse 12 and then message or amplified version in hebrews 8 13. for i will be merciful this is the new covenant contrasted with the old covenant i will be merciful to their unrighteousness how many of you have unrighteousness somewhere in your history somewhere in your body too i will be merciful to their unrighteousness and their sins and their iniquities will i remember no more now all of you who don't have any challenges sit pretty act important and that open nearly divine and pious with your piety but the rest of us that are glad for this reality i want you to shout if you have been delivered but look at verse 13. in the amplified version so when god speaks of a new covenant or agreement or system he makes the first one obsolete that means not of use not in use and what is obsolete out of use and unknown because of age is ripe for disappearance i want to pause keep the scripture on the screen the law will disappear from your life in jesus name that amen is two weeks section one i said the law and its impact will disappear from your life in jesus name i declare to the house and everybody watching online the power of the law will disappear from your life in the name of jesus christ so because of age it was an old and it is ripe for disappearance and to be dispensed with all together the 10 and the 613 all together hallelujah why is this important because the law will impede your faith because the law suggests that you can only get a blessing from god and will only get a cursing from god if you are obedient to the law whereas the law is weak because of the flesh that it cannot produce your righteousness it can only show you your unrighteousness but it cannot make you good perfect holy pure or clean it can only show you that you are not good perfect holy pure or clean until you come to the cure himself and his name is christ hallelujah so whatever you get from god you do not get it because of your obedience you do not get it because uh um you you've done right have you ever been blessed when you didn't do right have you noticed that in spite of you god continues to be faithful to you he abides faithful the bible says so look at this job 36 and verse 11 it says if they will obey job 36 verse 11 if they will obey and serve christ or god they shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure old testament what it should say is because if you're going to reconcile it to the new testament because christ was obedient and served the almighty god perfectly his people shall spend their days in prosperity and their years in pleasure if they have faith in what he did on the cross when he said bringing everything captive bringing every thought captive to the obedience of christ what i'm speaking of is exactly what he was referring to isaiah 1 verse 19 if you are willing and obedient you will eat the fat of the land old testament it's done away with because christ was willing and obedient when god said who will go for us and who shall we say he said here i am send me and everything the father said he should do he did perfectly he obeyed the completeness of the law and violated it not by one judge or title and for that reason having become obedient unto death his obedience and his willingness has granted me through what we call the doctrine of substitution and identification or identification and substitution he took my identity you know when a credit card fraud or a hacker steals your identity from your from hacking into your uh your ios system and now takes your identity to download wealth to himself he's taking your identity because he has it christ took your identity and he took all your demerits all your punishment he took all your load and he mailed it to the cross as it concerns the law and its violation and then he made an exchange he gave you his credit with the father he gave you the blessing on himself he gave you everlasting life he gave you his glory in exchange through identification and substituting himself in your place of judgment you understand that i want to be doctrinally sound before i start preaching and i'm going to preach so in this he imputed righteousness to you that meant you didn't earn the right standing you didn't earn the justification you didn't earn the righteousness it was imputed to you hallelujah so if i impute let's say i have 70 million dollars of wealth and 80 of that is liquid and i impute my wealth to my wife all i have to do to impute it is call the bank give them a notification and then pass her the duplicate credit card american express black so if she needed to buy a jet with that card she can buy the jets if you wanted a house in malibu she could own it in a moment because it was imputed to her she did not earn it she did not deserve it i just out of my own choice and willingness gave it to her free of charge i made her righteous by a declaration and because i am jehovah god my declarations cannot be reversed except by me and whatever i do it is forever and the things that i do they are marvelous in your eyes are you ready to marvel you will eat the fat of the land not only this land nigeria but the land africa not only this land africa but the lands of the world you will spend your days in pleasure and your years you will spend in prosperity but my invitation to you is not to be obedient nor to be disobedient but to be full of faith [Music] be full of faith how does faith come romans 10 verse 17 faith comes and comes and comes and keeps coming by hearing and rhema hearing according to the message of christ hallelujah give that to me in the amplified version romans 10 17 romans 10 17 romans 10 17. so faith comes by hearing what is told and what is heard comes by the preaching of the message that came from the lips of christ the messiah who is still speaking today hear me guilt and faith do not go together they cannot aggregate once you have guilt you cannot have faith you have to get rid of your guilt by faith and then if you're going to walk and propound in faith you must not accept guilt in your life simply accept that christ took your guilt and because he was guilty on your behalf he was judged punished sentenced and condemned on your behalf so therefore you have no guilt how many of you understand and believe that because of what christ did you are guiltless thoughtless you stand before the master's throne you are perfectly dressed in his righteousness alone not yours but his how many recognize that your response sounds like on beliefs you have to be purged from a guilty conscience by faith in the finished work not by guiltlessness but by faith shocker you know you can pride yourself in self-effort-driven works and think that because you do good you will get good but friend you can do great good and still not get blessed and still abide under a curse because the curse does not come because of disobedience to the believer it only comes because of the lack of faith [Music] whilst the blessings don't come because of obedience they come because of faith in the finished work god has taken the sin issue out of the way and he now redefines sin as anything that does not proceed from faith it is hard for somebody brought up in those deep places those very redeemed places to really understand how the new covenant works that's why we must get rid of the law hebrews 8 12 and 13. hallelujah we have a better system hallelujah guilt and faith cannot operate together there's one thing you must learn to get rid of get rid of guilt not on the basis of i i i hungry but on the basis of what christ really did for you on the cross look at romans 8 verse 1 to 3. there is therefore now no condemnation for those who are what in christ jesus if you have a page bible you will discover that the words who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit are not in the original manuscripts they were added by king james so niv nlt and a few other versions do not include those verses those those lines it ends at christ jesus so how many of you are in christ jesus if you are by faith there is now therefore no more condemnation it's the first gift of the new testament that you can stand before god with no condemnation so that individ man condemns you when god says yes which man can say no when man say condemn with man can carry out that condemnation as long as you know who you are in christ you are free from condemnation it is the fundamental foundation of the new covenant the first gift of justification verse 2 for the law of moses the law of sin and death the law of condemnation the law of the spirit of life inside christ has made me free from condemnation has made me free from the law of sin and death if you don't get this all your spirituality is uselessness you're operating under an old system an old covenant is obsolete god does not use it anymore and if you live by it you are empowering the devil to strip your life of the blessing of god prevent your life from getting god's abrahamic blessings into your into your being hallelujah those of you who are glad that you have been made free from the excitement of the law of sin and that i want you to shout like you've lost your mind i want to ask you a question is this your heart praising god or is it just your lips are you shouting because the preacher said you should or does your heart really grab it [Applause] [Music] so when i sleep or trip i don't go into a frenzy i become thankful that master thank you that you already dealt with it on the cross now help me to see who i am in christ because once you know who you are in christ you are empowered to live righteously the grace of god does not teach us to be ungodly and full of lust it teaches us to live godly lives that are sober and upright before the lord but it cannot be achieved by self-effort it's only achieved by god's grace which is unmerited favor and enabling power at the same time so colossians 2 let me prove to you that he took sin out of the way in verse 14 and verse 15. he blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us that is all the 613 derivatives of the ten commandments so he blotted out all the 10 and the 613 which were against you why were they against you because your flesh has a proclivity that the law could not perfect could not get rid of the proclivity it only could show you your proclivity let me borrow your ipad the law like you always hear me say it's like a mirror it can show you your flaws your thoughts your warts uh your acne and all but you never take the mirror that reveals all your faults to you and use it to clear the acne it only shows you the acne i would not have known sin but for the law paul said so grasp that colossians 2 14. so having blotted out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us which were contrary to us he took it where out of the way and did what nailed it to your cross he nailed it to his cross and that's how he took the usefulness of the law out of the way because it could not perfect you in that it was weak through the flesh so god condemned sin in his son in order to take the law out of the way now look at this verse it's very exciting and having spoiled principalities that's the the ark enemies from the realm of darkness that want to exact upon you with condemnation as a result of divine sentence that word spoiled in the greek means to strip to disarm and on the cross he disarmed principalities and powers and he made an open spectacle of them triumphing over them in it how did he do that go with me to first corinthians 15 verse 56 we use scriptures to explain scriptures the bible is not subject to private interpretation look at what the scripture says the sting of death is sin and the strength that's dunamis in the greek is what the law is the only weapon that the enemy had to deal with your life and when jesus died on the cross he took the penal code and that justice system out of the way and instituted a new just system by the cross and that system operates by faith not by obedience simple settled i know it's not settled with some of you but you keep hearing and hearing the rhema word of god and it will settle for you also hallelujah so john the baptist shows up to clear the road for christ what do i mean by clear the road he needed to come to announce that the person who would take the law out of the way and who is the fulfillment of the law himself yet he's full of grace and truth that he's coming and what was john the baptist message can anybody tell me the title of his series repent for the kingdom of heaven is at hand what was he asking us to repent for to repent from sin that's how much he knew that's why of all that were born under the law he was the greatest but the least in the kingdom of heaven the bible says is greater than john because john john's eyes were not open he was disturbed by the law and the law was still in operation until jesus died in fact when jesus came he taught and fulfilled the law but he would throw out forecasts of the new testament and his life demonstrated what the new testament was aspiring or what the old testament was aspiring to so let's show you john john said repent but when jesus came jesus said believe matthew 9 verse 28 and 29 matthew 9 28 29 rock me to follow me quickly matthew 9 28 and 29. and when he was coming to the house the blind man came to him and jesus kept saying to them believe so he kept saying believe believe believe believe believe he that i am able to do this and they said unto him yes lord verse 29 then touched he their eyes saying according to your belief that's what faith means be it unto you again in mark 9 verse 19 and verse 23 he answered him and says oh faithless generation how long shall i be with you how long shall i suffer you bring him onto me and they brought the man who was a boy who was terribly sick and when he saw him straight away the spirit tore the boy and he fell on the ground and wallowed verse 23 verse 23 verse 23 verse 23 and jesus said unto him if you can believe all things are possible unto whom unto who unto whosoever no he said unto him that believeth can we go further mark 11 and verse 23 so the dumb boy with the dumb spirit became free in mark 11 23 jesus says and oh rock media oh gosh typical i tell you whosoever says to this mountain be lifted up and removed and be cast into the sea and shall not doubt in his heart didn't say might in his heart but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass he shall have whatsoever he's saying mark 16 verse 17 and 18 mark 16 17 and 18 and these signs shall follow them that believe in my name they shall cast out devils and they shall speak with new tongues hallelujah to god john 11 and verse 40 john 11 and verse 40. jesus says didn't i say unto you that if you could only believe you will see the glory of god he was speaking of the resurrection of lazarus john 6 and verse 28 what shall we do his disciples said that we might work the works of god and jesus answered in john 6 29 this is the work of god that you believe on him who he has sent hallelujah what does he mean he means that your work is to enter into the rest of faith the rest of believing in the word himself glory to god in the highest that paul went on so john taught repentance jesus taught belief paul taught belief but took belief to another level took faith on another level and called it knowing ii timothy chapter 1 verse 12 the bnc clause i know in whom i have believed and i am fully persuaded another level of belief that he is able to keep this ministry that i have committed to him until the day of christ my friends when jesus walked with the horizontal bar of the cross of calvary up the via de la rosa a five-mile walk to its brow and its heel tub and they chained him or nailed him to the cross hands and feet and jacked that crossover put him through torturous moments with an already lacerated body when it was all done and all judgment upon mankind in every generation was consumed by his body as a living sacrifice he died and he died and he died but before he died he said no man takes my life from me i lay it down by myself and i will pick it up by myself and to prove it he outlived the judgment and when the judgment was well done he cried out tell telesty in the greek and said it is finished what was his meaning his meaning was that when you get up to pray and say god do this that and the other for me god doesn't go into a pandemonium or a frenzy and get up to start trying to do something for you no my friend what he does is he looks at christ christ looks at him and they say to each other it is already done that means prayer and declaration does not move god's hand prayer and declaration move you into position a position of consciousness awareness that everything god has for you he gave it to you anticipatory so it is already yours that house you are hungry for it's already yours that transportation you need so desperately it's already yours that breakthrough in your prayer life it's already yours that anointing that you want an increase too it is already yours that breakthrough that can only respond to an anointing it is already yours the wife you are waiting for she is already yours the baby that you're trusting god for he is already yours i don't know if you hear me what i'm saying but if you do look for two or three persons and tell them stop fretting about it it is all already yours it's yours it's yours it's waiting for you on the pathway of faith it's waiting for you in the journey of faith it is all ready yours look at somebody tell them it's already done it's already done so your question is how do i obtain it how do i obtain it paul tells us in ephesians chapter 2 and verse 8 ephesians 2 and verse 8 that we receive from god by grace through faith so what is grace what is faith if that's how we receive it grace is that which god has given you freely it was not something he was rewarding you with or something that you could earn it was a promise and you get it by faith that he who gave it freely really gave it to you already and so what is faith faith is believing in the grace so you don't receive it by grace alone because if you don't have faith what grace makes available to you you won't take but if you have faith in grace you will receive everything that grace has for you the story of my life is faith through grace or grace through faith i should say that's the story of my life oh i feel god i'm getting there so to understand faith let's examine it closely and remember we're not just talking about the faith you used to sit down on the chair but you're my faith in christ so the chair and you sitting in it is only a metaphor for you sitting down in christ hebrews 11 and verse 1. now faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen that word faith noted down it's the word pistes can i understand why i don't have scriptures faith is the substance of things hoped for and it is the evidence of things not seen can i break it down so faith is the greek word pistes that means a firm unwavering conviction unwavering conviction substance there is the word hypostasis which means entitlement means a title deed so um i'm building a house somewhere nearby a little house and whenever i go there the doors are shut the gates are shut but because i have the title in nigeria we call it sea of oh which governor's consent when i go there i don't go tentatively to i knock come come come come come and i have a certain arrogance about the way i knock because it's my property hallelujah whereas if you went there you would be tentative because you are not sure if they will allow you you don't have invitational appointment but that property has been appointed to me over 18 years ago hallelujah and so when i knock i say ah organ are you the gate man opens for me because he knows who i am that i am entitled to it i have the title i don't need to show the title if i i got the title before i saw the land so my faith then is entitlement it is title there are things you have titled for that you have neither seen except in other people's hands and nor have you seen the title that's why you are not believing for what is already yours my job is to show you the title your job is to find the property that the title speaks of do you understand what i'm saying so faith is the hypostasis it is the title to what is rightfully already yours but look at the next clause so it's not only title faith is the evidence that's the greek word ellen kos which means firm unwavering conviction and for there to be faith there must first be an object you hope for so you cannot have faith arbitrarily but if your faith has a hope and that hope is a baby then your faith that hopes for a baby must have a sense of entitlement not based on your wishful thinking but based on the finished work of the god who took your flesh identically and then went to your cross to remove judgment out of the way so that the blessings would not escape you they would land on you do you understand i'm not at my text yet look at my text yet so what are you hoping for what has god in the inner speaking of his spirit to your inner spirit told you that is yours because my telling your mind what is yours only creates the opportunity for agreement if you are hearing what god is saying to your spirit so i need collaboration in your mind that is what preaching is for so that your mind can get what your spirit knows and has been trying to tell you but your mind does not speak your spirit's language because you have not learned your bible and those who have learned it many have landed upside down under the law so they read new testament as if it was legal canon from the old covenant i'm changing minds it's my assignment so now when i knock on that door they know my knock like when i drive to my house they know my horn your property knows your identity [Applause] there are certain doors in this building that they know my thumbprint unless my thumping goes there it won't open nobody knows my laptop number unless you're a hacker a thief except me then on my ipad there's a thumbprint device it won't answer your own thumbprint to answer mine there are things that god has already done for you and settled for you but if you don't have healing cause and hypostasis for what you exactly hope for it can be waiting for you to you go and come it will still be there until you believe belief is the operating principle of the new covenant when you were in the old covenant if you did not obey the principle you could not be protected by the covenant in the new testament it is the same unless you obey the principle unless you operate in the principle you cannot operate in its benefits for the law of the spirit of life in christ has made me free from the law of sin and death what is that lord faith faith correctly believing in christ this now gives insiders or rather outsiders the hope because the law put many people on the outside jews and gentiles alike so a jewish man who is stricken with hansen's disease otherwise known as leprosy he for most of his life has been stricken by the disease and leprosy causes your joints to fall off your extremities to fall off sorry uh and it reveals the rawness of your flesh because it first eats out the skin and exposes the raw flesh and contact with that raw flesh can cause the contraction of the disease called leprosy can i get a witness from somebody and so the leper by law the law of sin and death had to be kept outside of the community he had to wear a certain garment that signified him as a leper and anywhere he went as he came near community he had to shout unclean unclean nigeria used to have them ring a bell so that everybody would clear out of their way so that they would not pass the disease on to anybody else but here's this leper he comes to christ he's an outsider he's not even allowed to come near a human being let alone the rabbi himself and he comes right into his very presence he violates the law as if he knew that the law was soon to be dispensed with stand up delay he says to christ if you want to you can make me clean he's asking god not just the carpenter's son he's asking god if you want to you can make me clean and the master looks at him sees that he has broken the law but the law will no longer be enforced enforced on his life if he gets what he wants and the fact that he came to the master please the master because that's what he wants from all mankind come to me all ye who labor and are heavy laden this is what he has suffered for many years and the master looks back at him and says i want you clean and he then puts his hand in his flesh touches the leprosy and the man is made perfectly whole because he revealed his problem to the master this problem had tried him for many years and the master now reveals himself to him a relationship has begun [Music] a relationship has begun i'm not just this great teacher he's saying i am also the healer of the despicable and i'm the friend to the outsider there were many people who had lesser conditions i was physically more proximate to christ but they did not receive anything because they never told him what they wanted he came and told the master if you want what i want you can give it to me if you want what i want from me you can give it to me so many people do not know that god wants you perfect without blemish soul body and spirit that's how he wants you can i give you a little more on another outsider we have the woman with the issue of blood both of them had firm conviction that this man can do it he can do it for us it will be this man has already done it and the point of transaction pos was the cross until you press those buttons the transaction is not initiated until the receipt comes out it's not completed figure that one out i'm going somewhere there's something wrong with that clock and so now the woman with the issue of blood she has also been kept outside by the law the law has made her outsider to the one who wants her on the inside of his help and for 12 years she has spent her substance on worthless physicians instead of growing better the bible says she grew worse till she had spent all but one thing both of these two persons had they had an object of their hope and therefore faith could find them because if you have nothing you hope for faith is of no help to you if you don't want to be sanctified faith cannot help you if you don't want the house faith cannot help you if you don't desire something that god has made available to you faith is not going to support you faith only supports you in what you hope for are you hoping for something that's why i don't want a church that i would be pastor of with people who don't want anything people who are content people who are just satisfied they don't think god has any more i don't want those kind of people i want people who want a better country who want more capacity more power more wealth to do what god told them to do concerning this country and the woman realizes that i cannot i cannot get to him i don't know how to get to him because they will put me out because everybody in town knows my problem that i have this endless issue of blood i've been to all their doctors all their gps all their specialists all their obstetricians and gynecologists so because they gossip everybody now knows my what was not even there they have put it there hallelujah and she has to come out seeing all this difference all this opposition people who are empowered by the law because it is their system and how am i going to get to him when he's in the center of this big crowd how do i get to him this is what she did god had told her after she had heard so much about christ and how he particularly favored the outsiders and reached out to those who everybody else by their law had kept on the outside how he helped the lepers ten of them helped the leper one by himself helped the woman with with a a troubling demon in her house helped the man who was dumb the men who were blind helped all of these outsiders and she realizes this guy seems to castigate the religious order but he embraces those who are left on the outside i'm going to go to him i don't think he will reject me so in spite of what her five-sense perceptry uh realm signaled to her mind and her understanding and also to her emotions she kept saying within herself if i can only just touch the hem of his garment i will be made whole in other words i won't only be healed from this blood but i'll be healed from everything that this hemorrhaging has caused me in my mind in my emotions in my choices and in the rest of my body but i have to keep saying it within so that everything that's said to me from the outside i can resist it the bible says resist the devil steadfastly and he will flee from you so every moment she kept it in her heart i'm gonna make it i'm gonna get there i'm gonna survive this i've lost everything i've lost my money i've lost my friends i've lost my health i'm losing my blood i'm losing my dignity i'm losing my majesty i'm losing my womanhood but i haven't lost my hope [Music] i want those of you who've lost much but you still have hope that he who promised is faithful who also will do it i want you to look for four people give them an elbow and tell them i am still here i'm still in the place of hope i still believe that god has it for me god has done it already it's already mine it's mine and there's nothing that the enemy can do about it [Music] and so hear me now it is because of a relationship that he wants that he allows you to have your trial because your trial is what produces your desperation what brings about your sense of need that having applied to terrestrial helpers they could not do anything for you that you now look beyond the five-sense realm to the help of the invisible god and even though he cannot be seen with the eye in this particular dispensation he has taken a body the divinity of god is panoplied in flesh the omniscience the omnipotence and the omnipresence of god is clothed in human protoplasm and guess what for this woman he is in her town she can see him with her eyes she can touch him with her hand she can hear him with her ears she can smell him if she gets close enough and my goodness she can tease taste and see that the invisibleness of god is good for her because god doesn't want a relationship with your outside god does not want to relate to your mind and he doesn't he allows your spirit to whom he relates to relate to your mind so that conversations take place within you between the originality of god and your spirit and the the downtrodden messed up mind of yours that needs renewal and only when it's renewed can it understand the propositions of god when he proposed this building to us it wasn't the word of a man nor word from man it was impossible to us from what we could see in the bank account what we could not touch and what our hands get told but instead my friends he gave me a word on the inside he gave me a picture on the inside he gave me a vision on the inside and because i saw it i could explain to my mind that had raging arguments against my spirit and would constantly tell me for better part of eight years that it's not possible you cannot do this you'll be drowned in the whole enterprise it's never going to work and he had several people around me who kept saying the same thing but i know in whom i believed and i was fully persuaded that he would take nobodies and make them billionaires he would take striplings and raise them to become mighty in ministry and great in wealth so that everything that was necessary for this facility was done because somebody had firm unwavering commitment they had ellen koss and they also had entitlement when he showed me myself preaching over a thousand times in this building there was only water on sand i knew that it was a done deal that through faith and patience like the eldest who would obtain the promise she kept saying within herself if i can just touch there were hundreds if not thousands of opportunities to turn back but she kept moving she kept marching until she got close enough she didn't want to disrespect him all she touched was the hem and as she touched it he didn't even know until she had collected her healing because nothing is impossible to those who believe only believe and you will see the glory of god my friends get ready faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god look at this he intentionally remains imperceptible invisible to your natural senses and he has kept it that way deliberately so that your five senses cannot pick up on god only your spirit can reach to him so that deeply he can relate to you in your spirit and that's why he has not allowed himself into the dimension of your five senses so you can't touch taste smell feel or hear god i need god god is chris chris i need you and chris is on my left hand side i'm on his right hand side and you know you are trouble and i'm a man torn between believing my trouble and believing my god let's walk i'm more perceptive of my trouble if i am a natural man who is given to believing his five senses as opposed to believing his spiritual sense so whenever trouble troubles me i cower to it i'm beaten by it because i'm so sensitive to my problem that i am insensitive to the power of god's personal presence in me and with me so i believe him and i failed to believe him what does the bible say about this hebrews 5 and verse 13 those who use milk are babes because they are unskillful in the word of righteousness however strong meat belongs to them who are of age who have their senses exercised to discern between good that's god and evil that's my trouble so when i'm passing through trouble it captures my sensibility captures my sense realm and i focus here and i seem to forget about god whereas when i need god the most is not in church it's in my daily routine and my daily life i must be focused here even though i see trouble i'm focused on god so i see his power available to me i see his protection on top of me i see his help under me and i don't look at my trouble because whatever i believe that's what i'm going to get that's why i have to keep saying within myself if god before me who can be against me if god is on my side who can take me down what it does is it it puts me on the other side of god so that the devil cannot get to me he has to deal with god to get to me because god is not only with me god is in me and if god is in me then i am hid in christ in god so that i'm hidden behind christ in christ and christ is hid where in god who is that fellow there does not the bible say that god has raised christ come back come back into the heavenly places where where i am in christ in god where is he he's under our feet [Music] do you get it this is what i am called to believe so i must be spiritual that means i must see my trouble my peril my issues through the eye of christ than god you get it now listen felix your sensory perception realm limits you to whatever your five senses present i cannot live on that level that paul urges us and says we do not walk by sight or by sensory perception we walk by faith that's another sense that is trained and exercised in the use of the meat of the word that your senses are exercised to know the difference between what your century represents and what god overlapping presents against your enemy so here's peter they have just killed james and herod saw that it pleased the people the jews so he took peter also planning to kill him the next day because that day that he took him was a feast day it was improper for him to kill peter and peter was the ostensible head of the church at the time as far as this earth is concerned and they took him and chained him between two guards and they had given four guards four sets of guards to ensure that peter did not escape and whilst peter is sleeping on the morning that he's to be killed that's what you call peace that passes understanding you understand when by your five senses you should be panicking and shaking yeah but he said he's snoring that when the angel came to meet him he bible said he continued smiting him in the original greek and peter was snoring but look at what happened as the angel showed up peter obviously thought he was in a trance you you will feel like you are in a trance with what god is getting ready to do in your life next oh that amen doesn't sound like a real believers amen come on shout amen somebody and the bible said that his chains fell off his hands it was not the angel but the angels angels my opinion that broke the chains that they came from peter's hands all that happened the gods were all still asleep he shut down their sensory perception realm and he opened peter's spiritual perception realm and peter left the first world of gods they got to the second world opened by itself nobody detected him god is going to make a pathway for you into greatness and those who would oppose you they will not even be aware of it until it is too late or your amen is too weak maybe the believers are over here he got to the second ward same thing happened then they got to the iron gate the final pass and the bible said it opened of its own accord that means wherever they locked your life but locked your destiny wherever they said that you would never happen that what god planned for you will never happen over their dead body you would never rise the devil is a liar of its own accord you did nothing yourself you were sleeping and resting in faith you have trusted in god who is your deliverer even though your right hand man died the day before as far as you are concerned a thousand by your side ten thousand may fall by your right hand but only from afar when you see the reward of the wicked but as it concerns you you will receive the blessing of god's grace in the name of jesus and the angel continued to walk with peter peter did not initially realize he was an angel got to an intersection and he was safe the angel disappeared he did not he did not become absent he was no longer apparent in other words he was no longer able to sense his physical presence and they now got to rhoda's house which was john mark's mother's house and he knocked on the door there were people praying there a large number of them unto god for peter rhoda went to the door when they knocked and she heard peter's voice she didn't see him she knew his voice and instead of opening the door which is some of our problem god has sent your blessing to you but you refuse to take the key of faith to open your door it is at the door it's already at your door oh you're not hearing what i'm saying i said what you are waiting for what you've been praying about it is already at your door if you don't believe it say nothing but if you do shout hey it's at my door [Applause] and she ran back into the house and said what you've been praying for is at the door they said with a little he said madness is doing you but can i tell you something rhoda is not mad and he said you must have seen his angel now they have spiritual sense they are not able to use their natural sense because peter's angel was probably still with him hear me this is what i'm trying to say to you you can have something and it's right there for you but if you are not spiritually perceptive you can remain unaware it is exercising yourself in the meat of god's word that awakens your consciousness of all that god is and all that he has made available to you it's all available last week it was food is ready your blessing your breakthrough your grandchildren your children they are waiting for you to simply believe and accept it in the name of jesus christ can i go a little further oh i want to preach and so now the outsiders still kept hope alive in spite of their long-lasting ordeal with trials and troubles and as long as you still hope for something faith can then bring it to you then faith now takes what grace makes so it is when i am walking outside of the principle of god which is faith in the new testament that i might worry about defeat desolation bankruptcy or breakdown why because i am if i am walking in the principle i already have the victory waiting for my faith to rise up and take the victory that is already mine that's why jesus says to martha and mary only believe and you will see the glory of god because it is the principle that protects it is the principle that provides in the new testament the principle in grace is not performance the principle in grace is faith that's why we take what grace provides by faith i believe therefore that since the lord not myself is my righteousness that no weapon that is fashioned against me shall prosper i believe that because the lord is my righteousness i stand far left before god's throne dressed in his righteousness alone and therefore all things work together for my good i believe that because the lord is my righteousness i don't have to worry or walk by sight i can walk by faith because i have an inner invisible relationship with the almighty god and so the woman with the issue of blood she says the same thing i believe that because god is for the outsider i've heard it for the last several years about all the outsiders he's helped yet the law forbids me in community so how am i going to do this i cannot listen to community i cannot focus on what they say i want to focus on what he is saying in my spirit and what i've been hearing about jesus so she started to let her spirit speak to her mind and her soul and her volition so that the spirit of man receiving from the spirit of god speaks to her mind because we don't hear god in our minds but it is with our minds that we serve god so my mind must get the same information that my spirit is getting so now she kept marching because of what she kept saying which was coming from what she kept hearing so the enemy can only get you when you are walking outside the principle of god if she stayed outside the principle she would never have got her healing but she stayed in the principle and faith the bible says has works and what was her work her work was to say whatsoever she believed and her belief had to be based on what christ was saying in her spirit so at this point i want to tell somebody fret not about your haters don't be afraid of what your skeptics and scoffers say about your hopes so it brings me to the cyrophonisian woman this woman has pissed us she has firm belief she has faith she's been hearing about jesus and all of his outsider liaisons how he has an affinity for all the outsiders he likes people like zacchaeus who was criminal as far as the jews were concerned he likes the wine bibles and the tax collectors he's for people like david in fact he's david's great great great great grandson he likes people like rahab he's also her great great great great great grandson he likes people like boaz he's in tune with them and so this woman having heard that she has what i call faith she has hypocrisis and she has titles on one hand and then on the other hand she has unwavering conviction full assurance that if i can just get myself into his presence the power of his presence the glory of his presence will break the yolk in my house he cannot see my devil in my house but he can see me i come as a representative representing my constituency in the presence of his glory and i believe that because his glory is omnipresent and he is omniscient if i stand here i'm representing all of my house and that if i tell him about my problem his compassion will awaken his power and my faith which is my need will touch a person or his person as it concerns deliverance so i am about to get a revelation with the fact that god is my deliverer he put the need there he put the problem there it provided me with a need i've brought my need to his presence and now that i'm in his presence my need doesn't only encounter his presence it awakens his glory from within his presence and i come to him and i say jesus son of david have mercy on me and he ignored her completely he paid her no mind bible said he answered her not a word that was the first level of what we call silent insult but the bible said she hollered the more she cried out the more that his bishops and board of episcopates said to him master she cries out after us here's a lesson for preachers and presbyters pastors and teachers that it's not about you or i we are only sign balls and signposts to point the way to the master because we cannot do anything to help anybody except christ be in us because it's really about him because this is a job for jesus and jesus only and he then responds to her because she's now somewhat of a pest and says it is not meat for me to give the children's bread to the dogs and she said to him right back showing that her faith will not be disturbed her pistes would not be confounded or turned back she said truth lord but your children are wasteful they don't eat the whole loaf they leave too many remains fragments and crumbs that even the lap dogs that sit at the master's table are fed and you've heard me preach so many times that one of us in the loaf has to be in the crumb because it's made from one constitution whether it is whole or whether it is crumb and because you are the infinite god everything can be in the crumb too that means there's no lack if all i get is a crumb hear me somebody and jesus stops she has his attention because her concept of god is not everybody else's concept of god her concept of god has not been contaminated by the impingement or the impedances of the law oh my god she has not been schooled in the law she's a black woman she's a canaanitis she's a syrophoenician citizen of grecia but an indigenous person of the nativity of the black folk she's one of us can i get a witness somebody here we haven't grown up under the 613 requirements all we know is not what the law says but that this is a good man we have beheld his glory as the only begotten of the father full of grace and truth and to as many as believe upon him he says he gave the power to become just like him because the son of god became the son of man so that the sons of men could become the sons of god and he stopped and and his attention was arrested it was completely arrested and he stood still and said oh my goodness woman great is your faith great is your faith i wonder if somebody here realized that god has a whole showroom of all kinds of blessings that he released not two thousand years ago but from before the foundation of the year just waiting for whom they have been appointed to and having looked at her he marveled and said great is your faith hardly did he say this to any jew never did he say this to any real insider this was his comment to two outsiders what was the commonality between them one was a soldier the other was a housewife one was a mother the other was a guardsman however the common thing between them was that they were both gentiles the law had not yet affected them the law had not taken away their faith because the law is a robber of faith because it suggests another principle whereas whereas that principle the law has been taken out of the way i feel like shouting oh will somebody shout for me and he said to her go your way your daughter is made whole in other words she was she came in faith pasta joined and she went in faith she did not collect her miracle physically she had to take it by faith that when he said it it happened i don't know who this is for but i declare to somebody remotely from where you are there's a problem in your life by the time you get to that problem it will no longer be a problem this very same hour as we speak there's somebody to whom it is appointed a breakthrough on your project a breakthrough in your life where your heart breakdown is going to be a breakthrough instead promotions healings deliverances increase wealth sufficiency [Applause] it reminds me of another woman and i have to use her for a moment and then i'll run to my clothes i need 10 men 10 men 10 men come quickly line up facing that direction i don't want the guy in red i want you to please come sir they're facing that direction ten men ten men give me a towel ten men here is a lady ruth her father-in-law has died breakdown her brother-in-law has died breakdown her husband three men in one family dead they fled bethlehem to go to plan b sorry to moab when we didn't tell you to go to plan b we said have a plan b listen carefully and everybody died and they were following and moab was now stricken with famine bethlehem had started to prosper and so her mother-in-law said she's going back and her co-daughter-in-law said i'm not going she kissed and couldn't cleave and she left but naomi was told by ruth no matter where you go i'm going where you live i will live your god is my god where you die let me die they also forbid me not to leave you and they went together she had loyalty she had loyalty something very lacking in this contemporary age of x y and zed and when she got to bethlehem she had no means she was broken poor she had come back and her mother-in-law wanted to change her name from naomi to mara which means bitterness and she went into a field to glean gleaning is different from reapers these are all reapers that means they were appointed the sheaves and the sacks to collect big harvests she was just going to get what could not fit into their backs she was a cleaner not a reaper and while she's in the vicinity a conversation takes place uh come come today between boaz and ruth ruth is at the back of the line and boaz says to his head man he said who is that damn self there who to whom does she belong she said oh she's that special wife widow of naomi's son she's such a great woman she's good i see so i see her virtue her integrity i see her diligence said okay leave a lot for her let them deliberately just leave a lot for her so that while she's gleaning behind the reapers she too will have as much as the reapers make sure that happens and he goes about his business i want to use that as a premise there's somebody here there's a conversation that's happening about your life right now and if it hasn't happened yet within the next few days it will happen between authorities powers potential and people that can make things happen in anybody's life and on your behalf because of what god has predetermined from eternity past their conversation is going to favor your increase it's going to favor your promotion it's going to favor your upliftment it's going to clothe you with the glory of god it's going to take you from breakdown to breakthrough it's going to take you from a setback to a set up if you don't believe it say nothing but if you believe it's out your biggest yes sir [Applause] she comes home to her mother-in-law and says look at what they gave me uh and the guy is a nice guy he's a good man naomi tells her that do you know that he's your next of kin he's potentially a kinsman redeemer but there's one before him so if that one before him does not want to take your land that belonged to your husband and does not want to take you that boas the biggest boy in town is available as your kinsman redeemer your closest friend in principle your husband what you need to do is position yourself and she taught her positioning something we teach here in house on the rock and she went and positioned herself and he woke up in the morning said what is that at my feet said this me my lord i'm here i'm in position there's something that i'm hearing in my spirit when my mother-in-law speaks to me about you and he did not go into her he saddled her with many goods and sent her back home she went again to her mother-in-law and said look at what he has done again that amen is too weak put yourself in there in ruth's place and let boaz be in christ's place hallelujah just postulate it like that that he wants you he wants to bless you he wants you to be his but there's somebody else before him so what ruth now tells boys is that there's a man before you that was adam this is the last man adam adam has the rights so boss you must go and settle the matter and if you can settle it then what you want i want we can have do you understand that's a metaphor for the conversation between christ and us but it's happening as a metaphor between ruth and boaz so she goes back to tell her mother-in-law in the morning look at what i have her mother-in-law says sit down in other words relax give it to me i think it's it's um ruth chapter 3 probably verse 17. i want you to put it on the screen for me and i'll take it in two versions please just bear with me and she said these six measures of bali gave he me for he said to me go not empty unto thy mother-in-law verse 18 then said she sit still my daughter until you know how the matter will fall for the man will not be in rest until he have finished the thing this day hold it give it to me in the message translation message and then get ready for amplified naomi said sit back and relax my dear daughter until we find out how things turn out that man isn't going to fool around mark my words he's going to get everything wrapped up today sees that word it's yours i said seize that word it's yours naomi represents the holy spirit she's talking about christ and christ has has in naomi's understanding he's going to wrap it up today because he cannot rest until he has finished your matter that's why it was only after he finished your matter on the cross he went up to his father's house and he sat down why because he had settled the marriage between christ and bride between christ and the church you get it so because it is settled can you accept that it is set to section one tier two tier three tier four tier five center one center two choir on your people is it a settled matter forever oh lord thy word is settled in heaven and by faith it can be settled in your life in your circumstance amidst your issues so what does he say she's settled and she's gleaning here at the back this guy is the first out of two three four five six seven eight nine ten i need eleven there are first seconds that she is last and they are ripping big harvest she's only gleaning but god has another plan for her which is more than a gleaner more than a reaper more than a foreman she he actually has a plan that she will become co-owner with boaz by the way means worship and he will be the great grandfather of david the great king of israel and so here is this import a morbidity from an occultic land she's an outsider just like all the outsiders we've talked about and she's last she's getting the least she's not getting much but god has a greater plan for her than the little that she's getting and so she's last but here is somebody god is about to turn your situation around if he has to move mountains he'll move mountains if he has to move systems he'll change systems if he has to change laws he'll change laws if he has to remove people and potentiate and put others there who will favor you god will do it he has said by the story of ruth and naomi with boaz that i am now your kinsman i don't remain far away god i've taken your kith and king's flesh so i am just like you i will replace your old husband adam and i will be to you the last man adam your kinsman redeemer and this is how i will do it i will make the last become first and the first will become last but god when i look at the lineup how is that possible i want you to start marching here left right left right left right left right about turn who's first i'm first but i was last now who's last he was first but now he's last guess what my friend god is about to turn the whole system around he's about to turn the whole stage around so that if you were in the back you're coming to the front if you were obscure you're coming to high notability if you were last you are about to become first hear me what i'm saying fella right now you are last but about turn guess what fellaini is now first do you hear me what i'm saying as long as your hope has an object then your faith will bring the object to you it's not your business to worry about how that's god's job he'll turn it all around if you believe it i want you to shout i was last but i'm first i was in the back but now i'm in the front i was under but now i'm over i was the tail now i'm the head i was beneath but now i am above oh is that all you got the woman with the issue of blood she refused to be silent when the master went quiet she got loud when the disciples got noisy she got noisier when the mother said it is not good for me to give you my bread she said no you will give me your bread because even dogs eat bread too how many of you have angels how many of you have angels how many of you believe your angels are protecting you wrong you are the one protecting your angels your angels are not protecting you i have your attention i have your attention now you remember danielle daniel set himself to fast and pray and from the moment he started praying the bible says his words were heard in heaven and from that moment gabriel was sent but because of resistance gabriel could not get to him in what should have been a flash it took 21 days why because of the prince and king of pressure and the king and prince of grecia they will lead him on the way with important critical communication from headquarters but because daniel continued to pray word that he got from the prophetic god now sent michael to help gabriel along and cleared the road for him who was protecting gabriel daniel's prayer engaged michael so you would want to say michael is the one protecting daniel not so michael in the book of jude when satan resisted him over the body of moses michael did not say i rebuke you he said the lord rebuked you that meant that michael had no authority over michael sorry over satan hallelujah you understand that do you get it he had no authority he had to engage god to do that because he was an angel and lucifer in the hierarchy who was now satan had more ability than michael what lucifer did not have was authority but you see in warfare generals fight generals through strategy officers fight officers through ballistics troops fight troops through combat they are different levels you understand so if you want to go and deal with the principality know your level understand your level but hear me your level is past all of that for the bible says i believe in paul resist the devil steadfastly he didn't say resist michael or lucifer or or demon he said resist the devil steadfastly and what that means you in the new testament you have authority over everything in the hierarchy of hell everything everything resist him steadfastly and he will flee from you you protect the angels in fact the angels lean out of glory to hear what is in your mouth because the mystery of this gospel is made known by you to principalities good and bad in the heavenly realms but if you don't know word if you don't know your bible if you don't know the new covenant you don't know it's principle you will remain last when you could have been first about turn but because of knowledge the last can become first that's what's going to happen to some of you [Music] according to your faith which he often said your faith has made you whole i want to end on this note everybody here conceptualizes god differently there are no two exactly identical concepts of god even though you hear the same word you go to the same church because your experiences are different your concept of god is different that means you cannot impose your god on me i cannot impose my concept of god on you nobody can paint or draw my god because he's bigger than my ability to conceptualize so no matter how big my concept is he is bigger than that hallelujah so what i will not allow anybody to do to me is impose a small god in their own concept upon my own concept of god because friend the kind of trouble i have is not small trouble the kind of opportunities i am given are not small opportunities the challenges and the challenges that come my way they are not small i'm trying to tell you that the size of your trial your test your opportunities your challenges and challenges are often an indicator of the scale to which god is willing to in the now to reveal himself to you because he is always greater than what's presently challenging you but if you don't have faith and you have no object to hope for then that faith will never open up the door of revelation of god to you and you need a relationship not with a small god you need a relationship with a big god the wisest the biggest the best the strongest and so he gives you challenging troubles in all those facets so that he can reveal himself to you that's what he's about i i i couldn't have with you done this the experience etc on a small god a small concept of god if you think god is broken that he needs the central bank governor to bless you you're kidding god can move the whole system he can take the whole administration out to one flask if he wants to but he'll only do so in respect to your faith it's available to you so be careful how you conceptualize god you should have a god in your concept who is wiser than your most difficult confusion and chaos your biggest crisis you have a god whose peace that he supplies surpasses everything that your five senses suggest about your chaos and your problem you have a god who is so wise and that because he is so in love with you and so for you that you will never be without his wisdom his power to take this enormous god who has no scale because all of eternity is inside him he's not in eternity it's in him all of the universe exists in him so how do you paint god how do you make a sculptor of him how do you even describe god he's indescribable he's beyond your father's powers that's the kind of god you know and he says i'll show you a lot of me to you but it will be just a little bit of me and that's how you come into relationship because your need makes you desperate for his ability his ability shows you his personality that's what you need outsiders you have the advantage because inside every outsider is a longing for only him who satisfies are satisfies who can satisfy and he makes it aware or makes you aware of it in your consciousness by providing you a problem a problem is a provision we needed a place to worship that could receive us it was a problem he was the answer through his provision you need the healing he's the answer so he reveals himself to you as everything so you're hungry he's bread you're thirsty he's water out of a rock you're in trouble he's your triumph you're in a hellhole he's heaven to replace your hell you're in a situation he's he's your deliverance whatever you need he is and so that's why he takes to you through circuits of challenges and eventually he becomes so strong that you're you now know him well in the fellowship of his suffering throughout trials so that you can also know him in the power of his resurrection so now you know god well and you know you are not alone because one of the things he reveals to you is that i am for you and whether you sense me or not i am with you i'm on your side i got your back baby i'm yours everything is yours including me god says you have me and that means you can walk through anything knowing that if i am for you who can be against you and i want you to be first because you're the apple of my eye you're the zenith of my creation you are my new testament brad you're not lear you're rachel you hear what i'm saying remember joseph he was 11. he was 11 right there one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven he should have been number one if laban didn't pull a trick on joseph on jacob you remember that but even though laban pulled the trick and he disrupted the birth order god can fix the birth order like this about torn who's who's first now joseph what's yours can never be taken from you you may seem to be denied it for a moment but they can't deny you forever my time is done i'm not out of message but i'm out of time god bless you i want to pray with you please put your hands together for joseph's sons or rather jacob's sons [Applause] is that all you have i don't want you leaving out of this room until you have faith for your miracle i want you to lift your two hands before the almighty god who cannot be touched with hands nor smelled with nostrils nor tasted with tastebuds nor seen with human eyes nor heard with the outer air but he can be sensed by faith and if you sense ladies and gentlemen that your god is bigger than your present problem and no matter what problem may come your way in the future he's taller bigger grand or greater and able to fix the problem after the problem has worked a virtue in you called faith called patience called integrity lift those hands and tell him that i want a relationship with you god of creation i want a relationship with you thank you for sending jesus who is the exact representation the brightness of your glory and the exact image the exact perfect likeness of who you are so everything he did was exactly how you would do it because he is exactly you but canopied panoplied in human flesh just tell him i want a relationship and i want you to think of your closest human relationship and say i want a relationship better than that with you where there are no secrets i want to reveal to you my pains my plight my predicament my problem how i really feel not how i act in church on sunday or not how i act when i'm driving my nice cow and my nice baths but i can't be hit from you anyways but i need to be open and no longer secret with you because you know anything anyways but there can be no relationship unless i open up to what you already know about me and god more so i want you to open up to me so i can see that of all those who might feign that they deserve me you of all people you deserve me the most but please show me your glory as healer as deliver from trying problems listen to me church this woman had a challenge for 12 years naomi had been through challenges with ruth her daughter-in-law for many years the leper had had it for had leprosy for many years all of them had many years of plight but even though they lost much they held on to hope and one day desperation for something they needed hope met with faith and faith carried them to the master or brought the master to their presence and deliverance was wrought he wants to reveal himself to you and that's not a light bulb in your head it's an experience where what you were hurting over was removed by his deliverance power some of us are broken through what we've been through but god says i bind up the brokenhearted ask him this is your moment with him to reveal himself to you where you need him the most here are some offerings jehovah's sid kenu i feel so guilty when i come into your presence master i want you to reveal yourself to me as the lord my righteousness because i feel i can't be blessed unless you bless me because i have a skewed mind that doesn't really really believe that you are my righteousness jehovah mikhailis the lord my sanctification i don't want only one righteousness i want forensic empirical righteousness that i have imputed but i also have it working outwardly as my lifestyle jehovah's shallow there are too many reasons why i don't have peace i don't sleep at night i wake up many times in the course of a dark night worrying pressured anxious about this that and the other but i want you to reveal yourself to me as my peace shalom i want you to reveal yourself to me as jehovah shama the ever present one who's mightier than my challenge bigger than my greatest opponent stronger than my adversity reveal yourself to me i want a relationship with you he's your provider for everything you need material and immaterial is your shepherd your compass in life he's your warrior your shield your buckler your strong tower your refuge is your hiding place lift those hands to the master and talk to him this is your moment for everybody who really finds him at the throne of grace and speaks to him not for what men will hear i believe that you are going to come into a mighty mighty revelation experientially where you see god lift your wealth capacity lift your health to a whole new level lift you in your career lift you on the job lift you in your relationships lift you in your abilities lift you in the operation of the anointing upon your life lift you in his divine purpose for your life faith is transformational when it's faith in christ and i want you to speak in tongues if you have the baptism of the holy spirit we pray in a language we understand when we understand our problem and understand the solution as biblically given to us when we don't understand the problem we don't understand the solution then we pray in the language of heaven and because heaven understands the problem and has the solution when we pray in the spirit we're releasing the power of god's hand to the problem in jesus name i have so much word of knowledge flowing but i'm going to leave you with this it encompasses all there were 11 men here the last amongst them would have been joseph benjamin was too much of a toddler to be reckoned with that meant in the order of preference he was last but by an orchestration of god he reversed the system he turned it around and the last or rather the first became last and the last became first god is about to move whole systems that's everybody in the lineup just because he wants to show that he chooses the foolish things to confound the wise the base things that confound the mighty he's going to move the last into first position he will take a joseph through untoward means and position him in first place globally globally not just in his family so that he could take his family which was in last place and also behind him put them in global first place so it wasn't only joseph that moved from last to first but because he was first for a reason as leader of his family but also leader of the world his family came with him into global first place for those who have a very big god on a global scale not just a nigerian god your whole system is moving into first place globally stop looking at your nation some of you are going to need access to other nations and your nigerian passport will not do it for you god's going to make a way for you to have access don't worry about how just believe that he can and i'll leave you with this note knowledge says god can say that with me knowledge says god can faith says god will importunity says god must but sovereignty says god may or may not that's the order i gave it to you last night god showed me that's not his order his order is knowledge says god can faith said god is willing sovereignty says god can choose whether he will or he won't but importunity said god must and you only have a god must when he has said it in his word and witnessed it in your spirit that is when god must that's what the woman had she had knowledge she had faith she got knowledge from hearing about him she had faith because he said the bread belongs to the children and i'm not supposed to give it to you because you're a dog and then she told truth the truth said even the dogs received the crumbs that fall from their master's table his sovereignty was almost going to get away with denying her but she had the opportunity number four say you must because the faith you need which is your new operating system which
