[Music] oh [Music] oh oh [Music] people have sent me mails saying the praise and worship is too short i don't understand what they were saying until today when i was there's nothing i can do now all right because i was always gone five minutes earlier but if i came i said people won't even hear what i'm saying for the first five minutes but i understand what what what you're saying all right take a confession this morning one to go as i said to listen to the word of god today a door of utterance has been opened unto us and i hear the voice of god clearly speaking to me this is the way to go working in it i listen under the influence of the spirit of god and i'm not distracted by anything or anyone the word of god is full to my spirit i am strengthened by it this morning it is wine to my heart creating joy within me it is oil to my face causing my life to shine giving me to everything that i do as my eyes make contact with the scriptures used in this message the spirit of god opens new things to me he also brings to my remembrance things jesus once showed me i come to understand god's system on the earth and i receive instruction encouragement correction and enablement to leave out god's will amen all right uh this morning i just want to share on very simple um as we go into the fast that starts on the first of december to the 21st of december if you didn't if you have not heard all right because it's silence i don't understand all right from the 1st to the 21st of december i just i'm still going to do a teaching monday night it will be a mixer on instagram live on praying and fasting that's at 8 p.m or i just to put faith about praying and fasting and while the scripture says directly concerning it bound to share today on hearing from heaven hearing from heaven and the fact that this is the most important aspect of a time of praying and fasting that is prayer is communion with god it's not just talking to god it's not just bombarding the gates of heaven it's all just a wrestling match prayer basically is communion with gold and the real power in prayer comes when you hear what god has to see concerning the subject matter in other words hearing the voice of god hearing what god has to see concerning it is where the real power in prayer recite timer please um switch on all right it's where the power in prayer actually recites if we look at psalm 13 from verses 1 psalm 13 um verses 1 here it says um how long will thou forget me o lord forever how long will you hide your face from me how long shall i say cancel in my soul having sorrow in my heart daily how long shall it is mine enemy be exalted over me light in my eyes it says here lest i sleep the sleep of death then put um psalm 6 i believe from verse 1. all right or psalm 9 let me judge looking for scripture all right i'll i'll get to it but it says how long will i do this it talks about it says light in my eyes lest i sleep the sleep of death lest my enemy rejoices when he is exalted over me so the point is paul was was waiting as he did in psalm 14. he said i waited patiently for the lord what was he waiting for he was waiting for god to speak back to him concerning what he was praying about i waited patiently on for the lord and he inclined unto me and heard my cry god's response to what he was seeing in philippians 4 from verse 6 it tells us be careful for nothing but in all things by pray and supplication with thanksgiving makes your request known unto god and was the response and the peace of god that passeth all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through christ jesus now what is this piece psalm 85 and verse 8 tells us it says i will hear what the lord will speak for he will speak peace unto his people and unto his saints let them not just turn again so falling so it says be careful for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving make your requests known unto god and how do you get into that place that you have a peace that passes all understanding it is when god responds to your prayer and speaks peace to you so it's what god says to you when you share it in any given situation that will move you from a place of anxiety and fear about the future that's what creates anxiety and you're coming to a place where you have a peace that people around you cannot understand how can you be in a place of quietness how can you be in a place of confidence how can you wear this aura here where you are completely undisturbed about anything right even though the situation has still not changed so a fellow lost kids or her job three weeks ago we went and see this person several things were tied up to that job there was deep disturbance in the heart of the person concerning it people were talking a lot of chatter and anxiety now this person says i am praying about it and then we come after some time and come two weeks after and this person now has this peace radiating out of them they speak peace out of their being when people the charter comes there's that quietness there's this confidence that is coming out of them there's an aura now there is a total change there ecclesiastes i believe chapter eight it talks about who knoweth the interpretation of a thing and he says this will cause his countenance to be changed and the boldness of his countenance it tells us shall be changed which means the boldness of the countenance of this person because the individual now knows the interpretation of that particular thing god has spoken back to this person the prayer has been answered by god it is not that something has happened on the outside is that yes there is still tribulation it looks like the waters are still coming into the boat but now this person can sleep soundly even though there is no change all of the anxiety and short thoughts fear every single thing has disappeared has been rooted out because he or she has head from heaven so the essence of this is to hear back from heaven the answer to prayer is not when something changes on the outside but when an individual hears from heaven in acts chapter 27 the bible speaks about a time where they did not see any star nothing for almost two weeks and then paul after long abstinence came and stood in the midst of the people and said says you should have hacking unto me he says but listen be of good cheer he had received now nothing had changed and the sheep was still wherefore said be of good cheer now if we go to from verse 20. it tells us there neither sauna nor stars in many days appeared and the no small tempest lay on us and all hope that we should be saved was taken away all possibilities was gone the next verse and after long abstinence paul stood forth in the midst and said sad your shoulder of hair came unto me and not have loosed from credit and to have gained this harm and lot then he boldly said now i exhort you nothing yet had changed he said be of good cheer the kingdom of god is righteousness peace and joy in the holy ghost in other words the kingdom of god had now come into oppression now he said be of good cheer and they looked around why should we be of good share why should we be happy he said for there shall be no loss of any man's life among you he began to announce what the outcome was going to be he said bought off the sheep and he said for they stood by me this night the angel of the lord whose i am and whom i serve and gave me this assurance in other words he had head from heaven the prayer had been answered he had a peace that passed all understanding and he released that peace out of him but how did that come from hearing from god all right so we pray in order to hear from god right so in this first year the power comes here when you're here what god has to say concerning the things that you are bringing up unto him so the first prayer here in the first or people when you go into a fast you have personal issues that you want resolved and when we talk about a resolution of those things we are actually speaking about hearing what god has to say concerning it in other words you want to put yourself that's the first thing i'll say in a position where you hear back from god for this is where the power is it's not that you want to put more effort in prayer to show god it's not that you want to say that well i shot the fridge and and and when he was coming i shot the fridge all right the power in this thing is hearing from heaven the reason why you are taking at this concentrating these days out of him is to hear and i'll show how we hear from him all right and when it comes to personal things that you bring forth to god the answer to those things is in here in heaven and when you share heaven on anything which means if you don't have a peace that passes all understanding and you are disturbed about anything and there is any form of anxiety you haven't gotten the answer to the prayer once the answer to the prayer comes it will be good news and it will flood your heart with a peace that nobody around you they just will not i mean paul after that said listen many days you guys have not eaten let's sit down and begin to eat and they were still in the midst of danger but paul had adjusted his behavior based on what he had heard from gold and i've told this story several times right but it does well again we can't say it i remember many years ago i was i was watching i mean those of you that know so you are with me on this those of you that don't know don't know so we will not let you know but if you know what i'm saying then you are on this side if you don't know then you are left wondering okay which is fine all right so i was watching this italian show there it was my office was about 15 years ago and they were evicting people it was in america and it was challenging they were seeing that and every time they'll go on they put up the african-americans and i mean when it comes to sinking you can't see out seeing african-americans you just cannot out-sink him all right because they were singing on the plantation it was in their soul in fact it was the one that jennifer hudson one god came toward so if you know what i'm saying you know if you don't know what i'm saying you don't know all right came thought can you imagine and they put her up for evictions oh no now has one was very angry i switched up the team so i called my brother in america how do you cope yourself with what i said look at what they're doing he said what am i talking about i said i said no no no they're finished you are three weeks behind where are you i said well seconds up and said you are three weeks behind so in the state of anxiety there i said so who won he said fantasia one now the african-american i said she won yes now a peace flooded my being i went back knowing what was going to happen and put on my tv what i was seeing no longer counted for anything i was in a state that was going to be revealed to nigerians in three weeks time do you understand what i'm saying when god answers when you hear from heaven you enter into a state that other people will see in the months to come ahead so they cannot understand why you are that way at that particular point god does things through instruction and you hearing from him even when he wants to protect your life he doesn't do it primarily by the exhaustion of power when he sends his only begotten son think about this everything hinged on jesus being successful if jesus failed the entire program of god for redemption will have collapsed and when herod was coming and with wickedness i wanted to destroy listen what happened was the angel of the lord they didn't come and say we are more powerful joseph than all these people six of us are going to surround your house with deer you know what angels are capable of doing when they went to sodom and gomorrah for judgment you know what happened to the police why didn't they come and say we dear anybody where dear anybody's come when we touch you you will know what will happen i mean they put blindness on people and everybody brought massive judgment they didn't do that god warned joseph by night carry your son and take him away from this place until herod is dead then we'll bring it back this same acts 27 here paul perceived that the journey was going to be to great hand and said i perceived that don't let us go so god does things by directing instructing his people by his spirit that dwells on the inside of us and so this is so important that we understand how to share god all right from heaven and to understand his counsel and to understand his instructions in our hearts i'm sure how to get this deuteronomy chapter let me show you 32 from verse 9 things we do here verse 9 here it says for the lord's portion is his people and the lord is the lord of his inheritance and then he goes on he found him in a desert land and in a waste howling desert wilderness he led him about and instructed him so he found him in the wilderness and what did he do he led him about and what did he do he instructed him and then he says he kept him as the apple of his eye and then the next verse as an eagle stereth open a nest float right over her young spread that i brought her wing take at them and bury them upon the wings so it says the lord alone did lead him and there was no strange god so what was god doing leading he led him from the wilderness to where verse 3 and he says he made him to ride on the high places of the earth that he might eat the increase of the field and he may saw connie out of the rock and he was blessed until verse 14 the bible tells us butter and kind in verse 15 all right all right jesus there waxed fat kicked which means he stopped listening after he was blessed now he could pay for it he didn't have to receive instruction all right and then things are going wrong so it's about receiving instruction so first thing is i want to show this you'll say well i have my own personal issues i want to bring forth before god and i want god to resolve these things now what you are going to ask god to do when you present your request to him is that god i am coming for guidance in this verse i am coming all right for instructions that you might order my steps are right for is when you follow the instructions of god we'll say this later on that the lines fall into pleasant places for you what do we mean by that that you have several divine coincidences one man went to meet the bishop of canterbury many years ago he said and he was right i have started all these answers to your prayers from the testimonies that i've listened to and they look to me like just coincidences that are occurring but the visual and that bishop said well what we have seen you are right but what we have seen is that the more we pray the more coincidences we have the less we pray the less coincidences we have so what does that mean what did that guy mean is when you look at the study or look at the anatomy or you really study and break down answers to prayers you will find out that long before the individual ever came into the point of need recognition of that need all right or even came into that position god had set into motion events all right long before the answers to those prayers long before the person ever offered up any prayer sometimes years before such the only thing is so that when you pray the prayer doesn't make god now say okay okay this is going on on the earth what are we going to do about it but it now all right if you didn't pray you would have been hindered from entering into those things that god had prepared for you so god has prepared things and so you want to go up to him and what you are saying is god instruct and god guide me now i'll tell a story here very powerful and i said something else that happened to someone in church i was told this on sunday evening very powerful and and still so yeah it was story about uh it was an um a lawyer and he had he had walked in america from time he was a christian lawyer a solid christian and he said all right he would retired and said he wanted to go to help missionary work and all of that so he registered to be a trader or all right for um a campus for christ's crusade and to train people become missionary student and or people who wanted to go and do mention and work and all of that well so god long story short there was this particular church in a small town in in in the states in america which invited them to come and train people within the congregation now you had to register pre-register for the event because they had to know the exact number of people coming all right they will set up their projectile and from the videos you are watching they will give you work books manuals and you had to it was interactive you use the workbooks and the manuals as you listen and everything so they will ask you how many people registered and this church said about 50 people registered so he was sent he packed about 60 manuals went with the projector got there that morning on getting to the town the pastor said well we just had a breakthrough a miracle just happened he said what do you mean he said well last the evening service and the evening service we announced it and about 300 or close to 400 people registered for it and this man looked at him this lawyer and his his countenance was falling and he looked at him and said and looked at him and said to him like i looked at it so the person said what's the problem there's a breakthrough he said you don't get he said look we need all right to know the number because this is the the manual that we're going to use this is everything and talked about it so will not be able to uh hold this seminar for the 400 people you are talking about because i only brought manuals here and workbooks for maximum 60 people so the pastor said well isn't the training about prayer he said yes so well if you're going to teach on prayer maybe we should just pray and practice what we're going to teach this evening and so he took the challenge up to god and prayed and said god you've got to give us a miracle the man said can they fly it in he said it would come tomorrow morning at best so he prayed and said god you've got to do something here and after he was in the place of prayer lying down in the office there praying he said he felt a certain urge to get up got into his car and said driving through town there was just this organ just started driving he said he was a baptist and he said he had for the first time in his life the voice of god it wasn't even the small still voice an audible voice and now he wasn't if you are waiting for an audible voice you will hear a demon let me say that where i'm going to fast to hear the word if you are waiting if god will speak to your audible way you will not have any idea he's going to do it all right just wake up in the morning and he talks to you if you are waiting for an audible voice i guarantee you the voice you hear is the voice of the devil because god doesn't you can't consciously move him into the spectacular that's not the supernatural name that's spectacular he heard the voice saying all right and like somebody said he gave the story god met with three people he he greeted one how are you said fine he shook one how are you he said fine he hugged the third one how are you he said fine they said you love this third one the most because why did you hug him now this figurative now he said well he is the most cannot this was the most spiritual so i said how are you because he knows i love him i don't have to touch him this one is halfway so i held his hand that one if you say anything to him he will not believe unless you hold him so except i see with my eyes and torch so this man would not have believed that he had heaven because he said he had never had that wasn't right unless he had a notable voice and the voice said turn into mcdonald's so he turned into mcdonald's and sat down bought a cup of coffee and said and brought chips over what they were called french fries and so he said and the next voice he had was his daughter's voice daddy daddy daddy daddy why are you doing here and he turned around what are you doing here i actually supposed to be in school and she said well you know we had spring break and it came early we finished our exams early my roommate here you know he's getting married soon she we're going to meet with her fiance's fun and begin to plan for it so she decided she would drive me to her own house first and then i'll help her this weekend and then she brings me home all right next week when it was the time we were going to start and then he said oh that's wonderful and so she turned to him and said so how are you and he said look and um there's an issue here same source and she married he narrated to her everything that he and the challenge that he had how you know he was praying and believing god the daughter and the roommates began to laugh and they were laughing and laughing and he said why are you laughing the guy said that you won't believe what happened we just cannot believe that so what happened said her father also trains all right also works for this ministry in town where they are trained that don't love that now there was a training that was scheduled on our campus and he came now what happened was we told him 400 people were going to come but only 50 people showed up so they had an excess of 350 and her father said i know your father belongs to the same ministry i don't want to carry all this back home you know i will give it to you so when you are going home just drive with it give it to your father he will have use of it so my friend loaded it into her boat we were going to her own house first and after we spent time getting ready for her wedding she was now going to drive me and i was going to offload everything at home so he's right in the boot of the car in mcdonald's the man said when he opened the boat he called not be he said he god was so real to him can you imagine this then the doctor said but that is not all she said you know what what actually happened thinking about this was that yesterday a friend of mine asked for money and all the cash i had i gave to her i thought i would get up this early go to the bank cash the check that i had and be able to get money for this trip i overslept by three hours my friend here was upset i jumped into the car we rushed out we had no catch we were hungry because we hadn't eaten and so we checked our bag we found some coins and saw that it was only mcdonald's we could get french fries or chips to buy to eat so we decided to turn into the mcdonald's on our way there we turned off the road when we saw the signboard mcdonald she came in one minute after him turned into the place and entered in this place only to see you when i shouted daddy it was because our own prayer two had been answered in other words our meal is secure and our money for fuel said because we had 10 more miles to go with the tank if we didn't get money where was no way so we just came into eats to figure out what would happen and we saw you that's why we were so happy so he was the answer to their prayer they were the answer to his prayer coincidence now but if you miss it and you don't hear that voice i don't receive that instruction now you're wondering that's why when we say the lines are falling onto in pleasant places let's read it psalm 16 from verse 5 the lord is the portion of my inheritance that's right in a situation and of my cop thou maintenanced my lord the lines are falling onto me in where pleasant places i have a what goodly heritage of the lord and then he goes on and says this next verse i will bless so how do your lines fall into pleasant places and you have that goodly heritage it says i will bless the lord who has given me cancel my reigns shall also do what instructs me so as you obey the instructions there the lines now fall onto you in pleasant places so when you have needs there jesus said don't pray like the he didn't do your father knows what you already have need of before you ask what you should go up to do so in praying this way first thing you need to do is to acknowledge god as the all-knowing all-powerful all-sufficient god approach him that's why he says stand fast and the liberty where with christ has made you free if you go into a situation thinking that in prayer you are going to win the victory all right and that victory has not yet been won and you are going into prayer that you've lost the ground to the enemy and he has it stand fast in the fact that god you have provided and what satan wants to stop in prayer is this instruction that's why after the angel came 21 days the angel came and said i have come to give thee i've come to give the skill and understanding here is the instruction that's what satan was trying to keep away because all right the mother of jesus said whatsoever he says unto you do it so if you do eat in other words you are in a situation here and you say well i just lost my job and the person goes up to god in prayer god says i'm going to instruct you out of this situation first instruction and so it's not listening to the instruction here what's the first instructor he said i'm going to pray until i see the manifestation he will instruct me out of the wilderness into the high places do you get what i'm saying he will guide my business in other words it's going to be line up online preceptor from prison he's not i'm going to pray today and tomorrow the customers are coming out he will instruct me he will teach me out he will lead me out of this one step after another i will go through a process it's not magic do you get what i'm saying here is the law of growth wind up online precept of one precept until you get out of that particular situation so jesus said first instruction he says do i need this i don't pray like they hid it he says ask god father you are ready i have known what i have need of thank you for it now what's the instruction so someone does have a job god says all right i'm going to get this instructor let's pray for the instruction and then somebody shows up and just calls a conversation about the fact that there's a particular place where they have need of this person but you know and god just says now go volunteer there you start it says go volunteer there you started now you don't know when you get to the place where you volunteer you met with somebody who says that your elder brother and him were friends and then events begin to unfold one thing leads to another so he will instruct you out of any situation stop so you go to him first now this is how you hear god i'm just giving practical terms how no no not that you hear god how you create the condition to hear him during this fast so i'll be practical if you don't like it but i'll tell you the truth so first thing you do is you go to him thanksgiving then you ask specifically for his guidance and for his instruction you say how will god speak live that one to god but when you hear him you will have a peace that personal understanding how will god don't worry about that one god you hear god you go to go and ask him to speak to you number two take if you can do it immediately but early in the first take out three days all right that's why esther said fast for three days before i go take out god will tell them in the old testament sanctify first two days on the third day i will show up there is something about preparing yourself all right about now take three days out look for a quiet place where you are separated from people different from the usual place where you just pray in other words if you can get something somewhere just look for a place where you can you can go there from 7am come back home at 10pm or something but look for somewhere where you can be quiet alone where the birds are just singing you're just here and cheap chip chip all right where is soundless because there are four places where voices can come we want to cut off two first satan can talk to you people can talk to you your mind can suggest things and then god speaks so what do you do now get to that quiet place there and dedicate time i'm going to spend time praying here number two switch off the television for these three days even when you come back from that place don't watch any tv do not go and start looking at twitter reading tweets disturbing your mind with what is on twitter instagram also shut down the thing and suspend it we are saying three days fasting is not just i don't eat all right because if you start rising all these things is where the destruction comes and get yourself quiet that is why the old patriarchs used to say we go to the mountain that mountain is not that there's mountain mountain there's a miracle in the mountain it's just the era of separating yourself from people i'm putting yourself in a mountain where there's no light so you can't even watch anything there's no signal for gsm are you following so what happens there is that there is that quietness now if you don't have this kind of moment you will never hear god in your life i'm telling you except maybe just somehow maybe they were preaching and then something god but that you had god except you are alone with god he needs you to be alone with him for a period of time then when you are there spend time doing three things worshiping god praying in the spirit reading the word of god and confessing the scriptures about the holy ghost his ministry on the inside of you in other words the holy spirit dwelts on the inside of me are confessing this he will guide me into all truth he will take the things of jesus and show them unto me he leads me and guides me he teaches me all things he causes that just said that i've spoken to you in parables now when the spirit has come the comforter you will know things plainly start making the confessions about who the holy spirit is in you and how he will lead and guide you you have to stare up that gift in you anything you want the holy ghost to manifest himself in you has to be stared up by you with your words then you have to have a determination in your heart when you enter into that space god i am living this place until i hear from you in other words we are going to be coming back here until the day dawns this can lead to events that will last for decades just your concentration to god for this three days save the entire nation of israel do it early fasting is not where you are being even distracted by the fact in other words by 12 noon you're already looking and saying all right today is food okay tomorrow is vegetable so what will i eat to sustain around myself here okay so in our first start with it will be three course meal i will space it saying that meeting three cost me but it will take me three hours to eat that meal i'll first eat noodles at the beginning then i will eat or i fry some dudu and and it's almost like vegetable and then you are doing that calculating that's not a fast though all right so that's the first thing there in terms of that separation and concentration to hear from heaven and be reading the word of god and be reading the word of god he will speak to you through the scriptures okay your mind starts getting quiet extended times of praying in the spirit and praying in tongues second thing is so that's your own personal issues that you brought before god that god will lead and direct you in those things second area now is that now you want to also go into business with god and you want to partner with god during the fast because god has certain things he wants to do in and through you that you have no idea for example paul and barnabas as they ministered unto the lord and fasted god said separate unto me paul and barnabas for the work which have called it in other words he wants to separate you onto things that were not your own prayer points when you came in so there's a dimension that is deeper than your own personal needs and prayer points and he wants to separate you onto those things so what do you do there in this place of prayer and it's very important because we've got to know this charles um john wesley said this he said god does nothing in this world except by prayer and he does everything by prayer in other words you can't have god's will coming to pass on the earth except people pray and that's the truth that's why jesus said what's prayer about said i will be done on the earth as it is in heaven so without prayer we are not going to see god's will on the earth so what we're going to be seeing on the earth is not the will of god so when people say well if god was really god and he's in control of things then how come he's allowing this to happen it's because i want to show you here god is looking for people everybody's prayer says why are you allowing this to happen and there's almost slave trade going on here why is this going on in this place why is that going on in that place why is this going on in this place now god says come ask of me it says in um um jeremiah 33 and verse 3. it says ask of me call on me and i will answer thee and i will show you great and mighty things which thou knowest not now so the second area is that you want god now to show you so one you're asking direction on your issues the second thing is god now there are great and mighty things i do not know and i've entered into this first that you might reveal these things to me why is this so important luke 21 and verse 34 86 luke 21 34 and take heed to yourselves lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with suffering suffering means overeating which means you are loaded there it says over charge of suffering and drunkenness and chaos of this life that's why i said put away the cares of this life here so that the day comes upon you unawares so it says there can be days that will come upon you unawares and when that happens verse 35 for as a snare shall it come upon all them that dwell on the face of the earth in other words things can happen that can be a trap to every single person on the surface of this earth and if you didn't have full knowledge here you didn't have information about it before it happened then you become a victim to that particular thing even though you're a christian and if anybody can say what they want to say there's a problem but it's a wake-up call to the church that kovid came in this year and the church wasn't clear it shows that and what causes this problem out of out of alignment with the prophetic there is the fact that the the message is centered upon personal needs and because the message is driven upon personal needs only people are not allowing their spirits just to fellowship with god to hear what god has to say and that's why look my friend let me tell you this man i i was a huge supporter of donald trump first time he came in in fact i tweeted it people lambasted me on twitter for two days two days they were my case but when i saw that the evangelical and the church had gotten so deep into it to the point where it looked like trump was their messiah i told somebody a friend of mine told me in this church of minister i said pastor we've never disagreed on anything this is the first time i said this man must not win not because i said the church has to be delivered from this even if the left and it will happen will come out and begin to do left far left things it will drive them to prayer not dependent upon a man even the quotation of cyrus cyrus did not successfully build the walls of jerusalem back who are read it it stopped they had to go into intercession from daniel to get the work back so even the cyrus says that it will help you a bit after some time it will stop you will go back on your knees all right and and begin to and when you don't know those apples are prophesied and the reason why is that people are no longer once the message is driven solely let me tell you this this is where god warns you about things coming ahead this is where he comes that's why paul could say i perceive by the spirit this voyage will be to him this is what jesus was saying he said the things that make for your peace are now hidden from your eyes you miss that and it says the enemy shall build a trench round about you so you miss something in a season there because he's distracting you with a prayer point that is only centered upon your own needs the way you are praying it give me give me give me give me give me give me give me give me that you'll miss out on what is going on in the realm of the spirit and then you enter into a trap and locks you down listen bishop whatever we want he said listen when god and told me the conditions under which god told them to move out of yeah i said if we did not go the year we went lawsuits will have shut down our ministry in other words people have been saying you are disturbing so much in your culture that they will get lawsuits to short that particular place down now you are wondering what's going on what's going on and it comes upon you on that way it's not like it came upon you unawares is that you are not sensitive are you from say that there are a church there which means you are sensitive there you are praying not for anything but just to ask god show me greater mighty things where is this thing going what are the trends that are going to come out where's the direction what's the flow here where god has on his mind sodom and gomorrah says i need to inform somebody i want to do something on the earth there's something i want to do is anybody picking it up and everything is just centered upon my own pastor which means the belly now becomes the god so you also open up yourself in prayer and you begin to ask god look my friend it doesn't matter it doesn't matter when the flood was coming god want noah there were people that were marrying giving themselves in marriage eating and drinking it didn't matter whether your marriage you could have been doing a seminar the night before the floor on seven tips to a successful marriage a tornado it didn't matter what i carried the good marriage the bad marriage the divorcee the single everybody was gone do you understand what i'm saying so you can be teaching several steps to suck but there is something coming that will wipe plus you plus everything is gone if joseph did not know about the seven years of farming abundance and farming there is nothing that would have entered into poverty if joseph didn't interpret that dream they would have entered into it and when there were seven years of plenty there were seven years of plenty even for the person mismanaging the business opportunities were there when he got to farming was who knew god now and if joseph did not put 10 percent aside in savings they would not have made it all you can get during that time is ravens feeding you which means every day you're just eating like then you wait for the ravens because you miss the season do you get what i'm saying and that's one of the things where he fast is which means to just open your spirit to god and say god listen i want to talk to you about things my future here what is in store what's going to happen what's going to happen this year's line ahead i just want to talk to you reveal things to me show me things reveal things to me show me show me show me show me then the third one that god now says i'm looking for a man we have it quickly in ezekiel all right chapter 22 and verse 30. so you go in this direction also i think there was a man who was praying let me just say this here and and and and that's why i pick up and well i'll say this in this one it says here or i put up ezekiel 22 and verse 13. it says and i sought for a man among them that shall make up the hedge god said i sought for a man which means god is looking for people which means everybody was distracted on their own issues people were praying but god was looking for he says won't anybody just come down listen he says i sought for you man who will put it back up all right who will make the hedge and stand in the gap before me now listen it says for the land that i should not destroy it but i found none now that's that one therefore have i poured out my indignation upon them and i've consumed them with the fire of my wrath now but here what it says their own way have i reconvened upon their heads in other words i have brought the consequence of their wrongdoing upon them so when god was saying my my wrath he was saying that listen these people are doing things that are wrong their cop is getting full i am looking for somebody all right there is a law on this earth he that swears to the flesh and of the flesh rip corruption i'm looking for somebody who will stand in the gap for this person for these people here all right that we may be able which means the consequence of it will not come upon that i am looking for somebody on the earth now everybody is preoccupied with their own god give me and god is there in heaven looking down at us you think about this and all you're saying is give me this guy and say this is how we instruct you now there's a lady in this church i was told uh i was supposed to say this all right and i was told she's a friend of us was telling me who's in protocol told me that oh someone in my cell is getting mine and she was happy she was telling me inside the minister's lounge during when minister called up escape i just saw what happened said you won't believe the pastor it was instagram they met on in july and they're getting my next one instagram i said what do you mean instagram says she just she does she want she walks in a particular place and she's she's a high-flying person all right so i mean it wasn't getting easier okay so she just sent a message for something they wanted to do in their business and they needed she she just saw a company and they needed the product or service of that particular company she sent a direct message after some time person replied and she replied and said well we don't have it now but as i will get in touch contact with you and then they chatted about it and she said please could i just make a suggestion there and said we said well it wasn't very difficult it was quite difficult getting to you so if you change this and change this and change this and do this might help you all right you know and she didn't know who she was talking to is company stuff and the person replied thank you very much will make all that adjustment of course the guy must have done his homework so it's not just instagram instagram what i'm about to say are you following what i'm saying here okay lest you send a message dm to a bot you know what that is a non-living creature who just has a fine face do you get what i'm saying but somebody else behind it do you understand what i'm saying because you say pastor said instagram so haven't given cancer the next message this guy sends next message is i'm looking for three things i don't know whether you can be it i'm looking for a consultant i'm looking for somebody who will be shareholder partner with me and a wife i need a three in one person they are getting married now i should have said it when i was talking direction there is no man in heaven that is coming down from heaven the man or woman you marry is somewhere not so god has to order your step to the person and order the person's step to you the person is looking for you you are looking for the person when you drive this way on western avenue the person is driving that way so you are missing yourself when they entered into a shop you went into ellie do you get what i'm saying the angels are trying so that you will meet but you are not asking other mice do you get what i'm saying here with thanksgiving so the final one there is making decision i mean powerful stories about this billy graham spoke about a lady and what am i saying here when you're fasting these bodies will come during the fast and when these burdens come here it's not just about me me me all right so as god that people all over the earth are people in trouble i there was this bill graham spoke about her and she was at night she was grandmother i just woke up abruptly at night and just started praying praying and prayed now you don't wake up abruptly at night and start praying if you had pounded them before you slept it ain't gonna happen ain't going to happen what happens you rule and she woke up abruptly there all right you don't know how spiritual fast is food has been a medium of exchange of some of the most powerful spiritual things when satan wants to steal destiny food is the principal thing he uses say pastor how do you know in the garden he took the garden for fruits this is good eat it this eating matter is spiritual when jesus was tempted was the first temptation it's you are hungry it's when esau was going to lose his birthright what was it this food thing that's what i say if you can't control your appetite you can't control anything if you are fighting over food i'm sorry for you all right i don't i don't listen to manners no no no no i don't care what you say about my background you don't know my brother my friend my friend my friend the background is wrong if you are fighting your wife because the food is not sweet listen to me dude you have a problem dude it is a problem because what are you going to do it is a problem i don't want to hurt you with this with some scriptures but i'll just give you one it says woe to a land when the king is a child and it's for pleasure not for strength that's it not for you the food doesn't have to be sweet so long as you are strong you are okay do you understand what i'm saying they said they didn't put spice in the noodles you shall hate it and you felt strong you are okay go on with your life that's a scripture all right when you get to you make sure you say praise the lord for pastor okay so you walk up and say drop and spray now what happened days after the daughter was in africa with her daughter with her with her children so that's grandchildren and her daughter her daughter and her children and they were going somewhere and a a horde there were missionaries of elephants who were coming in their direction stampede they got to where their car was taunt suddenly and just went in the other direction it was exactly the time that he got up and stayed afraid if she didn't pray if she didn't pray if she did not pray the elephants will be on that car stamp that's what's gonna happen that's why john wesley said god does nothing he's looking for people there are many things that should not have happened because god tried to get to somebody and nobody was willing people were focused on themselves many things that shouldn't have happened when you get to heaven many things there was a gentleman care thing and talked about this man and i think what happened was maybe professors have some days she just had the body and she began to pray that something is not right and praying and praying and interceding interceding now they got a breakthrough in the spirit what happened was this man slept he had a dream in the dream he went to walk when he got to work he the boss told him to climb up somewhere he climbed up there was his an instrument with a sharp blade with a sharpness it hit him cut his head off and he fell down dead so he didn't just felt it was a dream until he got to work and when he got to work the boss said he'd come he said what can you go up here and he looked at it it was exactly what he saw in the street he said sir i'm not going the man said what's the problem he said i had a dream this night and in this dream this is exactly what happened this thing cut my head off the bus looked at him his colleague said you are so superstitious the colleague was a in a church this has nothing to do with titan the colleague said let's don't mind this man superstition he climbed exactly what he saw happened to him dead are you following what i'm saying so in a time of fast there are many people's lives you can secure family members all kinds of things and so you go there and say look there's a time where spiritual burdens play upon me if there's anybody in any situation here if there's anything going on anywhere i want to pick up on these things and those things are going on inside your heart so you can make intercession over these things father in the name of jesus we thank you reward by the power of your spirit i ask you establish us in this truth expand it within our consciousness in the mighty name of jesus amen all right so the five should start

never prayed longer than 15 minutes at any time but 15 minutes did not go without me saying a word of prayer to god which means every 15 minutes he will say something back to god every 15 so he kept

role what's yours what's mine [Music] some of these things that we that we think are new have happened in the past um um if i if i read out the entire research on something i just want to quote you'll find out that even the younger generation in the 60s were telling the older generation in america they had failed them this same thing that people were saying so i was okay and obviously behind me here all right that they had failed them and that they were not interested in all the things so it is not new now what happened all right was was to those folks was very similar to enzymes they rejected the older generation okay and that the older generation had entered into a place of resignation and were ready for status school in other words um they had they were come nobody was going to do it they were in the state of industry and so they went on the streets and they were beaten back by the american army and they were highly discouraged because the military was released out on the streets and one of their mentors said something to them he said look you have three options he said you can go and find the winning wall feel sorry for yourself all right and start crying and say we are exiting the system he said the second is that you can go cycle and start acting irrationally and say we want to burn down the system it's like his words which is a critical effect he said the thought is that you go home you organize you build power and this is what he said at the next convention be the delegates to choose the leaders that's a clip from pasta's teaching the christian and
