Manifesting His Kingdom 2-WAFBEC conference 2021 with Apostle Joshua Selman

a local assembly is corporate worship that's the most important thing that you come together to worship god that's the most important element there the teaching you can actually transfer teaching in that way by people listening to devices but if you come into an atmosphere everybody's worshiping god that cannot be produced digitally and i remember i think was craig crochell that said when he was forced to start these satellite campuses where you minister and then use screens he said we were doing digital worship which means when they do the worship all right they will like the pastor can preach and then but they will also do the worship and project it nobody was coming they realized that people can sit down and listen but when it comes to worship they must have people together with them worship so the corporate worship should always be life and that is one of the most important elements of church life that that no digital space can there's no new cars you can use to carry the ark of god it is the old fashioned way you carry so don't get too woke you understand i'm saying why say i have my device i'm an online church i told somebody i don't trouble anybody but i told somebody i said i saw you at party you are tempted but when it comes to church you say you're all like why don't you do online then the president said all right because i don't know what people are doing in their own personal life so i don't trouble anybody but just that concept of what we can do online it's just like saying you want to raise a family online do it now a limit to which online gets to all right and we must be careful human beings must socialize all right that's why after the lockdown riots erupted all over the world all right people because of that that when you don't release energy and see somebody and talk to someone even shouting on your friend releases some all right then okay then let me not say more than this all right let's welcome apostle joshua [Music] salman [Music] yes and we trust that in the name of jesus things may never remain the same but the gathering of the saints will never change in the name of jesus let's lift our hands and bless his name for tonight father we thank you we bless you we lift up your name this is a feast of the word lift your voice and pray help us tonight in the name of jesus [Music] and i will not be silent and i will always worship you as long as [Music] i am [Music] [Music] one more time let it come from the depth of your heart and i will i will not be silent i will always worship you as long as [Music] help us unite spirit of the living god [Music] in the name of jesus christ please be seated i want you to do well to review all of these teachings there is so much you can really understand that a goal let me encourage us to get these teachings and listen to them again and again the bible declares that faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god hallelujah amen please i pray that i don't break any protocol but let me just honor these great servants of god myself thank you so much pastor emma's family for coming and then thank you pastor shula the lord bless you and honor you in the name of jesus christ we our first session we began to discuss on the subject of knowing god we'll never be able to talk about manifestations in the kingdom until we really truly know the lord and i just felt stirred in my spirit to teach tonight on encounters hallelujah and i pray in the name of jesus that our hearts will be open to learn i truly salute your pastor for allowing this platform for believers to mature this is the only way believers get matured when they are exposed to the whole council of god especially at times like this we need the truth that can not only set free but build up remember a scripture earlier on i commend you to god and to the word of his grace which is able to build you up and to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified job chapter 42 and verse 5 for tonight i'm teaching on supernatural encounters very briefly and then we'll pray just to open our eyes to the mysteries of the kingdom that empower the saints to rise and walk in victory job chapter 42 please and verse 5. i have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear job said but now my i see at thee i have heard of a theoretical god i've heard of him from someone else but now i have an encounter myself john chapter 4 very interesting story let's start from verse 39 john chapter 4 from verse 39 this was an encounter that jesus had if you remember your scripture with the woman by the world the samaritan woman we call it we're reading down to verse 42 ready it says and many of the samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman look at this now this was when jesus had an encounter with a woman she was so touched she ran and said come see a man that had told me what i had done they did not know jesus they had not met him but they believed the woman please keep the scripture there they believed on him not because they had an encounter they believed because they trusted the woman's world and many of the samaritans in that city believed on him for the saying of the woman which testified he told me all that i ever did next verse so when the samaritans were come to him they besought him that he would tarry with them and he about their two days and many more believed because of his own word they heard him teach are you seeing the levels now they had the woman's testimony and so they came to church but now they heard jesus teach himself verse 42 let's read together please one to read and they said unto the woman now we believe not because of your sayings for we have heard him ourselves and know that this is indeed the christ the savior of the world supernatural encounters that it is possible that the testimony of someone or his dealings with god can be so alluring it can bring you to god but that the god's ultimate desire is not that you know him as the god of another person his desire is to bring you an encounter are we blessed all through scripture we see that many people had encounters with god and it became the basis for their conviction their stability and their exploits write this down please an encounter is a supernatural experience that brings the reality of god to a person or a people a supernatural experience that brings the reality of god to a person or a people they are called encounters so when you hear about the wonders when you hear about the great things that god has done and continues to do in the life of people it cultivates that hunger but their testimonies are not enough you must come to god and have an encounter that produces convictions if we do not contend for genuine encounters this generation may not have the power and the stamina to to stand the reality of the times that we are in are we together the days that were in the revival the awakening that is sweeping across the nation will not only require people of zeal it will require people of encounter are we blessed and by the grace of god and by the privilege of the election of grace i am a student of the move of god i have studied the moves of god i have studied men and women who have had encounters with god and the validity of their encounters were demonstrated in their lifetime i've had the privilege of meeting a few people who were able to pioneer major revivals in their lifetime and i thank god for the honor of being used by god to do a bit of that so i what i am speaking about respectfully is not theory i know what i'm saying and if you pay attention to these truths i assure you that something will come upon you in this conference and you will run like the foxes of samson in the name of jesus christ there are four dimensions of encounters that i believe from scripture every believer that intends to manifest the kingdom every believer that intends to do business with god in these last days you must contend for these dimensions of encounters they produce maturity and they produce balance in the life of the believer hallelujah very quickly i'll run through them and i want you to please pay attention the words that we speak they are spirit and life it's not just an education it's not just an intellectual communication this is not just a theological dissertation this is the ministry of the spirit hallelujah four encounters i submit to you let me tell you a little story i'm a student of scripture i studied the bible by the grace of god but this teaching came to me by revelation i was not reading any bible the holy ghost came to me and began to open me up that there are four dimensions of encounters and that i must teach the body of christ this truth to help believers mature and really begin to prove the reality of the power of god can i tell you this a generation is gradually getting tired of religion a generation is gradually getting tired of spiritual propositions without the greatest dimension to to deliver their validity and technology has made people know that things can be proven you can say this and there are statistics to prove it it is that same hunger now people have brought it to the church to say if you claim god is god if he heals if he lifts if he blesses i am sick and tired of theory i want an experience that whose conviction will last my lifetime and if we are unable to deliver to that degree then sooner or later many people will forget the name of the lord but may god forbid it not in our lifetime are we blessed yes [Music] encounters number one the first supernatural encounter that every believer needs in this order to be relevant and to be able to host dimensions of god in your life to a territory to a generation is called an encounter with jesus the son of the living god please write it down an encounter with jesus the son of the living god john chapter 3 the bible says in verse 16 popular scripture says for god so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son to the intent that whosoever believeth in him should not perish eternal damnation the word perish there does not necessarily just mean die physically eternal damnation but that we should have what the bible calls away the life of god everybody say encounter with jesus [Music] there are many people in church who have not met jesus there are many people around christian circles who have truly not had an encounter with jesus you can be around the things of god you can even be part of the move of god but an encounter with jesus is not corporate number one it is a personal affair those days well in the south yeah i think it was student union and then in the north it was fcs they would ask you do you have a personal relationship with jesus that word personal was the key word not have you been around church for a while a personal encounter with the lord jesus 1st john chapter 5 the epistle of john 1st john chapter 5 help us holy spirit first john chapter 5 we'll start from verse 11. first john 5 and 11 this is the record that god had given us eternal life and that this life is in his son next verse please it says he that had the son had life and he that had not the son of god had not life period so if you say you are born again then that must have been that you have encountered the son of the living god the savior of the world can i tell you this we need by the grace of god to remind a generation again that there is no other name given unto man by which men can be saved believing a man of god does not give you salvation brothers and sisters hear me believing a living church does not give you salvation believing an apostle a prophet following an apostle a prophet a teacher as important as it is you are only an effective follower you are not saved are we together according to the authority of scripture the condition for being a partaker of the life of god is not proximity with the anointing it's not proximity with church it's a personal encounter with the son of the living god you will think what i'm teaching is so basic and simple and everyone should know except for the fact that the day there is a day that this head will be judged and let me tell you whoever does not have that encounter with the son of god it says i saw that the sea gave up it's dead everyone gave up his dead and whosoever's name was not in the book of life was casted into the lake of fire that burned with sulfur and brimstone this he said is the second death and it's a right for these things are faithful and true i don't mean to make you afraid but i tell you sincerely one day this earth will wrap up the lord jesus christ is coming we establish this in the future in in the morning and it's not going to be in so distant future i am convinced personally from the authority of scripture because the one sign the bible gives to characterize the coming of christ is that this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached as a witness to all generations they don't have to receive it it there just has to be a testament that they had it and the bible says then the end will come an encounter with the son of the living god john chapter 10 and verse 10 says the thief commit not that means you will never see the teeth around any vicinity but for to steal to kill and to destroy and he said but i am come that ye may have life and that you may have that life more abundantly so the first encounter you need that starts your journey your christian experience more than church more than a pastor more than a man of god is an encounter with the son of the living god we are all sons of the living god but there is the son of the living god jesus the christ there is no other name given unto men by which we must be saved respectfully do you know that you can do a random selection around church and really ask people are you saved and you will be surprised how many people are not saved they are committed they are sincere they are not evil people but they are just not saved sincerity is not the condition to be with jesus it is salvation romans chapter 10 from verse 8 to 10 the word is nigh the evening thy heart and in thy mouth the word of faith which we preach that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the lord jesus and shalt believe in thy heart that god raised him from the dead thou shalt be saved the formula is in the next verse with the heart man believes unto righteousness then with the mouth confession is made unto salvation hallelujah there are three things that you receive for having an encounter with the son of the living god please write it [Music] according to the authority of scripture if and when you truly have an encounter with the son of the living god there are three things that you receive number one access to righteousness romans chapter 5 and verse 17. these are fundamentals of the christian faith that if not known every other dimension of truth will be standing on the wrong foundation romans 5 and verse 17 please access to righteousness for if by one man's offense death reigned by one it says much more weak they which receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one jesus christ righteousness great men like ew kenyon who had been a great blessing to the body of christ and still continue to bless the body of christ even though they have long gone i think he defined one of my first definitions of righteousness came from his books the ability to stand before the father's presence without a sense of inferiority condemnation and guilt that's what he defined as righteousness even though today i would say righteousness is more than just a sense of being free righteousness is actually the nature of god without righteousness you cannot receive the way the condition to have the life of god is that you have righteousness equal to that of jesus so before you receive the life of god you must receive righteousness righteousness is what qualifies you to be a partaker of the life of god it is impossible to have the life of god until you have righteousness are we blessed the first thing we receive from having a genuine encounter with the son of god is righteousness the righteousness of the son of the living god at work in me that i have received it number two the second thing that we receive when we have an encounter with jesus the son of the living god is access to the life of god what the bible calls zoe the life of god [Music] zoe is more than eternal life please look up there are different kinds of life and some of you may have heard me teach that zoe is not eternal life everybody has eternal life the condition for eternal life really it's not been born again it's been born once you pass through the womb of a woman you have eternal life whether in this earth or beyond this earth you are still living the life is eternal when you get people saved you say where will you spend eternal life not will you you are going to spend eternal life the question is location not the possibility [Music] are we together now remember jesus were bible students isn't it remember jesus was talking to he was giving a parable about the rich man and lazarus both of them had eternal life it was just location the man was still alive after this earth so the life jesus came to give us i know that it was translated eternal life but it's not really eternal life it's called so way the life of god is a quality of life the very kind of life great men like papa hagin call it the god kind of life well i respect and i believe them but revelation is progressive it's not the god kind it is the very life of god there are not many kinds it is god's life given to men are we blessed a superior kind of life this is what i get when i encounter the son of the living god now because it is spiritually nature you may not appreciate it we are sensory so when things happen and you have a physical impact usually you will believe it but when you when you receive of his life in what you call the salvation experience usually you may not necessarily feel anything physical so it may be difficult for you to believe that a translation and an exchange does happen in the spirit but it is still the truth of scripture that anyone who encounters the son of god has the life of god please say i have the life of god number three what do you receive for having an encounter with the son of god access to the grace of god [Music] access to the grace of god srila bhagavatam access to the grace of god [Music] ephesians chapter one please and verse three the grace of god is a powerful mystery this is my definition of the grace of god blessed be the god and father of our lord jesus christ the bible says who had blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in christ this is my definition of grace grace is more than just unmerited access grace is the generic name given to every spiritual blessing that is given to the believer routed through the office of the christ is called grace so anointing is grace wisdom is grace faith is grace all spiritual blessings that have been given to the saints but can only be accessed through the office of the christ is called grace when you limit your understanding of grace to just um unmerited access or being pardoned from iniquity by reason of being in christ it is very very limiting so when we have access to grace is more than just faithful that's why the bible says grace and peace be multiplied onto you and then the bible says that how does he put he says god is able to make all grace i think i shared that the last time i was here the grace of god unfortunately and and lovingly speaking for most believers our our understanding of grace just has to do with the substitutionary sacrifice of christ and receiving it and then that's all but grace is more than that grace represents every spiritual blessing allocated for the victory of the saints but it is only routed in christ an unbeliever cannot have grace can have mercy but not grace are we blessed the grace of god only comes through the office the administrator of the grace of god is christ himself is god helping us now so if you tell me you have encountered jesus i search for this notice my choice of words access to righteousness access to the life of god access to the grace of god what does access mean potential it does not mean experience access means that the door has been opened but it is up to you to come into the experience of it for instance we have receives away the life of god but ephesians chapter 4 and verse 18 says having their understanding darkened it says being alienated from the life of god through the ignorance that is in them because of the blindness that is in their heart so it is true that he that had the son had life but because it is access it takes a level of spiritual illumination to come into the experience of it this is where faith is applicable so it is by grace but then through faith to become our experience are we blessed many believers continue to chant spiritual realities that the grace of god has provided and sometimes we never get to walk into the experience of it because grace gives you access and access is important but that's not what you really need what you need is an experience is god blessing us let's hurry up for the sake of time number two i pray and trust that this is blessing your heart number two the second encounter that you will need to be mighty with god in this earth and in this season is an encounter with the person and the ministry of the holy spirit please write it down in this order an encounter with the person and the ministry of the holy spirit [Music] zechariah chapter 4 and verse 6. then he answered and speak unto me saying this is the word of the lord unto joshua salman saying this destiny and this kingdom advance is not by might is not by power but it is by my spirit saith the lord by my spirit your destiny your excelling ministry business family advancement the manifestation of the hand of god within a territory please hear me the bible says it is not by might it is not by power but it is by the spirit of god whilst it is true that the holy spirit plays an active role in the revelation of jesus the holy spirit as one of the the godhead has a separate office that an individual can encounter please listen the holy spirit is there to create conviction jesus was teaching and he said i have many things to tell you but you cannot bear them now he said how be it when he the spirit of truth is come he shall guide you into all truth is that true he will testify of me he said but the holy spirit listen to me as god has a separate office that you will need to encounter the person and the office of the holy ghost [Music] isaiah 48 and verse 6. isaiah chapter 48. did i get that right give me isaiah 30 and verse 21 isaiah 30 and verse 21. it says this earth shall hear a word from behind you saying this is the way is someone who speaks to you walk in it and you will find rest walk in it when you turn to the right and when you turn to the left you will hear a voice saying a voice the same word is used in genesis chapter 3 and they had the lord walking the voice of the lord walking in the cool of the day that voice is a person and even though jesus came and walked upon the earth jesus is the word the holy spirit represents the voice of god to the saints please understand this jesus christ is the word but the holy ghost represents the voice of god this is what i'm trying to establish is very very important you understand this if you do not encounter the office and the person of the holy spirit your hearing in this kingdom will have a problem and your rest is predicated on your hearing the person and the ministry of the holy spirit when i started out with god i used to watch a lot of kathryn kuhlman's videos and benny hinn and i would hear them cry and talk about the holy spirit and i felt it felt so strange how could you talk about someone you don't see how could you talk about someone who looks unseen but the reality the substance of what they were saying it was so real they would cry they would soak i knew they were not lying i knew there was a dimension of reality that they were operating catherine coolman would cry on stage and say he's my best friend don't offend my best friend pastor benny will continue to shout and say ah he's the holy spirit until i began my journey with god and when i was introduced to the person and the office of the holy spirit my life changed i knew [Music] that he could take a weak person my brothers and my sisters when the holy spirit holds you he can turn you into a sign and a wonder many have encountered the son of the living god they have the life of god but they are unable to be effective in this christian experience because you need an encounter with the person and the ministry of the holy spirit who is the holy spirit to believe us number one the holy ghost is the revealer of the word of god please write it down the holy spirit is the reveal of the word of god first corinthians chapter 2 from verse 9 to 12. sorry i'm hurrying up because we're working with time first corinthians chapter 2 from verse 9 to 12. but as it is written the bible declares i have not seen nor hear heard neither have entered into the heart of man the things which god has prepared for them that love him but god had revealed them how by the spirit that means if you do not have access to this spirit you also do not have access to genuine revelation the holy ghost is the revealer of the word please keep that scripture there it says for the spirit is given the exclusive ability to search all things even the deep things of god verse 11 for no man for what man know where the things of a man save the spirit of that man which is in him even saw the things of god nowhere no man but the spirit of god hallelujah it says now we have received not the spirit of the world but the spirit which is of god to the end that we might know revelation the things that are freely given to us from god when you see men acting as two they outsource a dimension of knowledge from another realm you are right but the bringer of that revelation is the spirit of god that the holy spirit is able to fetch truths from the powers of heaven and bring it to ordinary men and turn their lives to signs and wonders the holy ghost is the revealer of the word john chapter 16 when you read from verse 13 the bible tells us john 16 and verse 13. please give it to us that how be it when he the spirit of truth comes he will guide you you see how complicated truth is it's not enough to have access to truth you must be guided because truth without guidance can still kill you it's not only a lie that kills truth unguided can also destroy did you ever learn that the truth too can kill he will guide you into all truth he will not speak of himself are you seeing now here this scripture is the reason why the holy spirit conceals his presence the holy spirit i believe according to the authority of scripture has a real form but the reason why he conceals his form is because his assignment is to glorify jesus [Music] are we together that he will not speak of himself and he will but whatsoever he shall hear that shall he speak and he will show you things to come the holy spirit is not a dove the holy spirit is not anointing oil in fact oil does not anoint oil only anoints because someone anointed anointed it [Music] i'm not against that don't get me wrong the holy spirit is not water the holy spirit is not wind the holy spirit is not smoke these are just expressions of his person the holy spirit is god god in every way god in every form there is an office of the holy ghost and hear me dear people of god this is a call to come into that level of encounter with the person and the office of the holy spirit the revealer of the word number two very quickly what is the assignment what does the encounter with the person and the whole the ministry of the holy spirit bring he is the confirmer of the world the holy spirit does not only reveal the word he confirms the word isaiah 44 from verse 24 please to 26. we're doing a little bible study here isaiah 44 from verse 24 to 26 thousand the lord thy redeemer and he that formed thee from the womb i am the lord that maketh all things that stretch for the heavens alone and spread it brought the earth by myself 25 that frustrated the tokens of the liars and make it divine as mad that turned wise men backward and make it their knowledge foolish 26 let's read together that confirmed the word of his servant and performed the council of his messengers hear me the holy spirit is the dimension of the trinity that is responsible for manifestation you cannot desire manifestation and neglect his office every provision that the word of god makes available the holy spirit is the one who makes it manifest very powerful so when you say be healed in the name of jesus you have spoken that word by the authority of the lord jesus christ the holy spirit is that active dimension of the trinity whose power goes into that sick body and begins to make biological spiritual adjustments until that person looks like what the word of god should be he will not stop for many years in the body of christ there has been a controversy between the limit of the ministry of the world and the ministry of the spirit so we have people who say word and we have people who say spirit both of them are incomplete i pray that god will answer that question in this short session in the name of jesus christ the ministry of the spirit as the confirmer of the world mark 16 and verse 20 mark chapter 16 and verse 20 the bible says and they went forth and preached everywhere the lord walking with them and confirming the word with signs following the lord walking with them when they preached and they said this is what we've brought to you from heaven the holy ghost was there with them he is with you and shall be in you walking to will and to do men of god hear me we need the holy spirit to walk close to us if we need real results it is the holy spirit that has the ability to produce supernatural results no man sustains the ability to produce results at god's dimension except assisted by the holy ghost we're tired of the status quo there's gonna be more than this we're tired of the status quo there's gotta be more than this there's gotta be more we gotta be more [Music] the holy ghost is also the custodian of the anointing please write it down the holy ghost is the custodian of the anointing isaiah 61 the spirit of the lord he said the messianic prophecy the spirit of the lord is upon me because he that spirit hath anointed me too then he begins to list everything that the anointing does to preach it takes the anointing to preach god tidings it takes more than understanding the message of salvation to preach it takes the anointing it takes the anointing to bind up broken hearts it takes the anointing to proclaim liberty to the captives it takes the anointing to open the prison to them that are bound it takes the anointing to proclaim the acceptable year of the lord and even the vengeance of our god it takes the anointing to comfort people who mourn it takes more than a sympathetic heart the spirit of the lord is upon me micah chapter 3 and verse 8 i have power he says by the spirit mike chapter 3 and verse 8 but truly i am full of power not by my ability by the spirit of the lord it is the holy spirit who empowers men in this kingdom we are all ordinary except for what he does in us he reconfigures us by his power and suddenly we cease to be normal we cease to be ordinary acts chapter 1 and verse 8 jesus himself but you shall receive power after that the holy ghost is come upon you and you shall be witnesses unto me both in jerusalem judea samaria and known to the utmost part of the earth you shall receive power the holy ghost is the custodian of the anointing just because you are born again may not necessarily expose you to the anointing it gives you access to that possibility but you need an encounter with the person and the office of the spirit i do not know one man on earth who works notably in dimensions of the anointing and the ministry of the holy spirit is strange to that individual i am yet to find one there is no man that works truly in the miraculous that works truly in signs and wonders of all forms not just in the fivefold ministry you must be exposed to the ministry of the holy spirit number three and we'll stop here for the sake of time the third encounter that you need if you must do exploits in this kingdom and manifest the reality of the kingdom is an encounter with the word of god an encounter with the word of god now please look up an encounter with jesus as the savior is different from an encounter with the word of god the logos of god a compendium of the mysteries the secrets the methodologies and the principles of the kingdom you must have an encounter with the word of god the living logos of god you can have an encounter with the son of god and you have the way but spiritual ignorance will make you live a very fruitless christian experience as though you were not saved this is where the intelligence of the saints lie their encounter with the word of god please write this down the word of god is a compendium of the mysteries the secrets the principles and the methodologies of the kingdom is called the word of god a compendium of the mysteries of the kingdom matthew chapter 13 and verse 11 he says because it is given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven [Music] john the principles the patterns the methodologies of god colossians chapter 3 and verse 16 [Music] let the word of christ he says dwell in you richly in all wisdom i wish i had time to walk this way we can spend the whole night discussing the scripture look up please he says let the word of christ dwell in you but he says let it dwell in you in all wisdom that means is the word of god dwells in you randomly it will confuse you and lead you into errol the word of god must dwell in you in a way that it dwells in all wisdom if all you have is just scriptures you will misquote scriptures you will get into trouble because you the word of god is dwelling in you but not in all wisdom so it says yes while you study the bible while you cram the scriptures make sure there is a sequential arrangement of truth so that the devil will not come and manipulate what you already have and destroy you with it when satan came to jesus it was it is written that jesus already had within him but because the word of god he was the embodiment of the word dwelling in all wisdom are we blessed three things happen to you when you have an encounter with the word of god number one understanding the first miracle that happens in your life when you truly have an encounter with the logos of god [Music] is understanding luke chapter 9 [Music] from the pages of my heart let my worship begin that never ends to the god of all flesh your my god and your name is yahweh your name is he's my king and his name is yahweh your name is luke chapter 19 and verse 42 please understanding the first miracle we receive luke chapter 19 and verse 42 19 and verse 42. jesus began to whip over jerusalem and he said o jerusalem jerusalem if thou has known even doubt at least in this your day the things that belong to your peace it says but now they are hidden from you so that you cannot come into this experience you are barring of understanding and so you do not have the peace that should come as a result of understanding this is powerful understanding we all need that miracle in our lives luke chapter 24 and verse 45. luke 24 and verse 45. read it please if you're a christian one to read then open heavier understanding that they might understand scripture understanding is beyond education understanding is is beyond the realm of intellectual prowess it takes the ministry of the spirit to open your understanding to the word of god then open hear their understanding that they might understand scripture this is the first miracle that happens to you the second is faith when you have an encounter with the logos of god you receive faith romans chapter 10 and verse 17 romans 10 and verse 17 so then faith cometh so faith is living it can come to you it comes when you hear the word of god as i have an encounter with the word of god i'm inviting faith to my life faith that commands victories faith that is responsible for exploits the bible says that the just shall live by his faith and that faith comes only when i encounter the word of god [Music] romans chapter 4 i wish we had time but let's see how far we can go romans 4 from verse 19. the bible talks about the patriarch abraham he says and being not weak in faith he considered not his own body now dead when he was about 100 years neither yet the deadness of sarah's womb uh-huh [Music] he's tagged not at the promise of god so there was something for him to hold on the word of god is an anchor you can hold on to it he's tagged not at the promise of god through unbelief but he was strong in faith giving glory to god 21 and been fully persuaded that what he had promised he was also able to perform and therefore it was imputed unto him for righteousness stability is the next thing that you receive understanding faith and then stability first corinthians 15 and verse 58. it says therefore my beloved brethren paul is admonishing the church in corinth be ye steadfast unmovable always abounding in the work of the lord for as much as you know that your labor is not in vain it says be steadfast he says be unmovable that means when you vacillate in this kingdom is proof that your faith is not stable your faith is not alive and the word of god is not at work in you if god gives you a word you can hold on to that word and as life beats left right and center you say he told me that in the name of jesus my church would thrive in this city he told me that in the name of jesus when men say there is a casting down for me there is a lifting up it is what god said that keeps you it is what god said that keeps you what did he tell you hold on to it isaiah 33 and verse 6 tells us that wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of our times when you find a very stable christian he has been fortified by the wisdom and the knowledge of scripture in the name of jesus i pray for you that you will cultivate such a hunger for an encounter with the word of god can i be sincere with you thank god for all the platforms that are available for believers to at least have an encounter with the word of god but you cannot give the word 5 minutes 10 minutes 15 minutes and expect a lifetime of resultant stability no sir there is a lot to know about the word of god there are keys of the kingdom not a key the truths of the kingdom that make for the victory of the saints are finite but there are many it's a body of spiritual knowledge called marvelous light they are finite but they are not just two or three or four you will need to know the principles that make for speed restoration you will need to know the principles that make for increase you will need to know the principles that make for sustainability you need to know the principles that are responsible for your warfare and your dominion you need to know the principles that are responsible for your health and your wellness it takes time to lend those things i found your word and i did eat it and it was a joy and a rejoicing to my soul you must cultivate passion for the word just opening the bible in the name of jesus and you open it and just read something um then he put their eyes on zedekiah and the king of babylon and close it you won't grow that way you will never ever grow that way it takes intention you need to give the word time let me respectfully encourage your servants of the living god it takes time there are treasures that are hidden here but it will take patience to see it do you know that look up please when mary of magdala when jesus rose again different people came and they could not see him but the woman stayed there she was gazing at the resurrected ward she stayed there until she suddenly saw a man and she said rabonai he said do not touch me it was her staying that made her to see the remaining disciples came in a hurry and they went back we've not seen him but a woman said i'm not going anywhere i will stay there are times you will stay on one verse for days shivas you want to leave it and god says the next level of your ministry is in that scripture just keep looking just keep looking and suddenly he will isolate from all the the scriptures and just bring out three words from that scripture that becomes the next level of your lifting please don't run when you have not seen run only when you have seen from scripture an encounter with the word of god this is 2021 what have you seen what have you seen for your health what have you seen for your lifting what have you seen for your destiny we're about to pray harusali kataria an encounter with
