Prepare the Way of the Lord P2 | Steven Francis

are you ready for the word of god amen if there is something that i can inspire you through the teaching of god's word is to have a hunger after god's word those who hunger and thirst after righteousness well what you see god wants us to reach out hunger after him he said he will be filled no one who asks to god to teach me will be left hungry no one he will teach us and fill us but the word of god is such a powerful component when the word of god enters you whichever area that we are asking god for wisdom that area will manifest now please don't ask me to explain i don't know i don't care i don't want to know that one is god's part remember the other day i give an explanation when you're having a toothache or you're having a toe ache or you're having a stomachache or whatever else ache you put an aspirin because people don't know why aspirin we have to take it it's like a common tablet for pain issues right you you take the tablet and you do tell the tablet please go and go back to this area please go to the toe please go to the stomach do you tell it no somehow the neurons and the veins know where to bring and where the pain is and they do their job you don't have to tell them anything you don't want to command decree bind the devil nothing to do take take the tablet and it does its work i know some of you are against tablets and whatever else it's okay leave it i'm just telling you the truth so the same way how god has to do and wants to do that is his job you don't have to worry about it our job is to be hungry for god's work and whichever area that we god wants to solve the situation let it be there is nothing under the sun that god doesn't know amen he knows about computers can you believe that unbelievable because computer was not created by man computer is a reflection of the speed of god long time ago bill gates mr bill gates wrote a article and in fact it became a book called the speed of thought he said one day he wished that he could devise a computer that has the power to work faster at the speed of thought so he said he tried to do to eradicate papers there will come a day that is no longer paper you know that was 25 years ago kind of a dream but the more computers are there the more paperwork that we are still doing in fact people do more paperwork than ever before amazing sometimes you apply for certain like buying a car was so surprised i told them i'm not buying your company i'm just buying a car there are like 355 signatures i need to sign is to buy a car say what's wrong with you what happened to online signing how come he came with the speed of thought now every time i've been taken up to heaven you travel in the speed of thought the moment you think you are there the moment the lord tells it appears that is why the bible says he sent his word and healed them do you see that no angels accompanied he didn't say power went by the moment the lord speaks a word whatever that is required with that accompanies it while he prayed here someone was healed there this is the power of translation which is going to happen in these end times we will have no clue and it's nothing wrong if you don't understand because all that you got to understand is god how the miracle is working that's not your problem how god is going to figure that out that is not your problem we can't even figure out our own lives why are we trying to figure out how god is going to do things isn't it keep your walk very simple walk with god blindly hello it's a place to say amen god is the only one that he can walk blindly and i prayed to god again help me to walk blindly help me to trust you blindly take away all the thoughts of this human understanding take away all that wisdom that we have accumulated over time you know certain wisdom and knowledge accumulated over time becomes garbage hello paul said that compared to the wisdom of god that is being revealed to me everything else is like garbage now he is an intellect he studied under gamaliel he's a scholar of his day so whatever that you have accumulated which is not from god which is added on like an add-on value like a human philosophy please erase off god's word always wins if a book that you read if a thought that has been accumulated an experience that you have gone through if it doesn't line up with god's word erase that off in jesus name validate only what god's word validates can you do that and that revelation stays with you i was searching for something in the internet very seldom i do that but then in this part in the youtube that had this story of a boy an african-american in uh i forgot the state they lost their house through the flooding that took place couple of years ago and he and his mom has to move over and the mom is not able to get a job so he got a job he got a job 20 miles away as a assistant to a house shifting or moving house moving company his job is to help them move right so he got the job and on the day that he's supposed to report to that job at seven in the morning his car broke down so some of you may know this and so he decided he's going to walk 20 miles he need to be there at 7 00 am he started walking at 12 midnight he calculated because google says how long he needs to he walked four hours late full of blisters limping away middle of the night with a young guy wearing hoodie and walking through our policemen decided to follow with the lights on they just followed tracked him after a while they stopped and asked him what he's doing they didn't believe and decided to bring him there to the house and they found that he did tell the truth and they were so impressed someone can walk 20 miles to honor this job because his mom is waiting for it the money the boss was so touched drove down and gave the family car to him and said this is yours i was reflecting about this scripture where the bible says if someone calls you to walk one mile how many must we do but often we don't do two we discount the one can i just walk half a mile please oh we complain why must i even go second mile for you and so we lose the position of favor because did jesus did not suggest he commanded when someone called you for one mile you walk the second mile because in the one mile you are doing what you are told to do in the second mile you are doing what i'm asking you to do somebody say amen my brothers and sisters sometimes we are far out from what jesus have told us to do sometimes we pride ourselves with our version of christianity rather than god's word version of what the bible should be in the life that we must demonstrate sometimes we are so given to defending our own reputation but god wants us to become the defenders of his reputation amen i want to bring about the attention that what i was sharing with you about the mature church prepare the way of the lord we touched upon from mark chapter 1 verse 2 and 3 so just to recap a little bit the book of the gospel of mark chapter 1 verse 2 and 3. as it is written in the isaiah the prophet behold i send my messenger before your face who will prepare your way the one the voice of one crying in the wilderness prepare the way of the lord make his parts straight so we saw two parts of the story number one god wants us to prepare our way and prepare our way you know god gave us a clue in that scripture he will send a messenger to prepare your face you know face is a very important word not just in terms of cosmetics and what people see in asia we use a very familiar term you know i lost my face do you use this term here good please don't learn all these it's bad terms it means i lost my reputation i lost my honor you know i lost face you know today the way you spoke it means i lost my reputation that means i was disrespected i was dishonest so i had no face when you were talking to me like this it means i lost everything that i carried my stature for that moment that's what it means losing face somehow i could relate i could understand what it said i prepare your face before your face right staring at you because if your reputation is repaired then you'll be prepared for the ways of god in your life you see when god has to deal with us he deals with our self-pride and our reputation first in order to walk in god's ways it is not an add-on feature to your ways we have to give up our ways first many times we want god as an add-on feature as a on benefit so god this is my ways this is my plan i am praying please do it add on i'm using the name of jesus to put the stem on my envelope all my ways are written inside please fulfill it and you think by praying for hours it's going to happen no god accomplishes or fulfills his will in your life now it takes a lot of time to come to that alignment to desire his will because god is working in our lives amen now some things i don't understand sometimes are some things i do does it mean that you cannot ask anything no you can he delights to fulfill the desires of his children not everything you ask is destruction 99 of things we ask is for the betterment of our lives or for someone else you are praying for and god fulfills all that but there are some things in life that god will jealously guard because he loves you more than your desires amen we all the time pray fix my problem when god fix our lives the problem will be fixed albert einstein says people have the ability to create problems they also have the ability to solve that problem you give them time they will solve it you don't have anybody else to solve because they created this problem now by the way albert einstein's a a brain the actual brain is still kept in a museum and they did a a research on his brains can you believe that he only used 10 percent you're talking about supercomputers man the brain is created in such a way it has the capacity to almost simulate what god can do now that is einstein i don't know how many percent we are using probably point zero or something because some of them really don't use their brains at all can you imagine this is einstein ten percent it will be good no probably we should put ourselves to the test and check how many percent we are using more room for growth i mean now god has placed such an intelligence in order to cultivate the mind of men he releases an anointing called the spirit of wisdom and understanding it supersedes it creates an alignment of our thinking to the thinking of the goodness of god and it's hard for us because we have heard everybody struggling everybody's struggling we have heard and i remembered when we were younger there were not many choices to choose when you go to college but today when you go to a college you got 500 courses to choose and you don't know which one to take and even a child of god struggles like the people of the world we refuse to pray and ask god tell me which one and we think that god is a very old-fashioned god if he chooses for you end up in the ministry not everybody ends up in the ministry are you with me do not be frightened to allow god to choose for you because god never makes a wrong choice i accompanied a friend of mine a son to the polytechnic in singapore to sit in for the parents talk and made me think some of the subjects that was there when i was reading as a current parent it was not relevant things that you think that they may not get a job if they study this doesn't make sense and then the principal came up and he said very importantly listen carefully okay he said we are not preparing your children for today the children are going to graduate five years from now so we are preparing your children for what it is going to be five years from now not for today the subjects they are studying they will be employable five years from now what a powerful prophetic statement we are asking god for today's miracles but god is preparing us for tomorrow's challenges somebody say amen he gives us all the little victories to give us the assurance that god will see us through to a point that our lives will not be a battlefield to ourselves but it will be a ground where god can sow his seed that it will become a garden for others to be nurtured and not many can come to that point because it requires hard work and i pray that god will cause such a favor into this garden called jesus my king that those who are hungry and thirsty for jesus can come and be fat prepare the way of the lord the second part is given to us it's a work of responsibility because to prepare the way of the lord requires work in order for me to prepare the way of the lord i have to stop all the time being prepared for myself you see there are many relationship people are connected to god with various streams some people only connect to god through issue base or relationship forever they'll have issues they'll create more new issues to talk to god they feel that if they don't have an issue they don't know how to pray if they don't have an issue they don't know how to cry they don't have an issue they don't feel like they can worship god and it becomes a issue based relationship every time there is a trouble they will go to church well every time there is a trouble they will honor god by giving because they know all these tricks inside or god will only do if i give offering god will only do if i show my face in the church so it is a very travel based relationship and for some people god realizes the only way to bring them is to give them some trouble since you want that part of your life we all started with troubles didn't we but we end up into a love-based relationship i come because i love you not because i've got troubles i've been there before you have been faithful now it's time to build a love-based relationship amen but then when we they come into the kingdom the love base is very honeymoon they are overly excited they are willing to die for jesus every second it becomes a love-based relationship and some people now it opens to all of us okay you are in almost like a honeymoon everything is smooth and everything is honey and everything is beautiful and then what happens when he stops commitment to god takes over you made a vow to follow god he made a vow never to leave you nor forsake you are you with me this call to prepare the way of the lord is a call for the mature church a church that has matured grown tested through fire tested through time the challenges and the lord now says make his parts straight and we talked about that very much last week where the lord goes before us to make the crooked paths now he is telling us you go before me and make the crooked parts straight many years ago there was a life story of a farmer that was published this is in northern india was published in paper in the village the village that they are living in they are living so far away from fresh water and many of the village ladies they have to go walk around a uh what granite gray night how do you say granite why didn't you pronounce the eye gray knight oh hey do you enjoy my preaching or not you see that's why it's not easy to preach i tell you granite okay so it's a granite mountain a hill hill okay he has to walk everybody in the village have to walk around for 45 minutes to go and get fresh water while in one of those trips his wife tripped her head hit the stone and she died that day he made a vow i will bring this heel down flat to the ground he made a vow you know what he did he took the chisel he went with a hammer he start knocking it and the village people thought this guy got crazy he started chiseling man they said because the absence of his wife this guy went cuckoo you all use the term see a lot of things i'll teach you know along the way it's part of thesaurus english lessons it's okay so he started chiseling chiseling people counseling people tried to stop him his family tried he said no i made a vow i made a vow i will flatten this heel and he did it for 25 years the local government came to note about it because his government property is breaking down his government property by the way and you know what if they heard his story it became televised the government came he said we will bring the boulders we will bring the tractors we'll bring the machine we'll bring the dynamite boom boom boom he said no i made a vow with my hands i will break it down for 25 years he made a pathway enough for a truck to drive through straight you know what happened to that village what it took 25 minutes now takes 10 minutes just for love i can't i can't i can't process this kind of thing do you understand what i'm saying what will we do in america if that happens destroytheheal.com raise the fund let's go fund it let's go fund the campaign man nothing wrong but i'm saying in a situation where people don't have money but they have the will but you know what we do instead of giving your heart and will for god you are giving the money away god is rich i think part of part of the game part of people to be blamed is the preachers they care more about the money than lives of people they employed the experts to do the ministry work leaving our children untrained because we just want your money we train every other children outside there our own children we did not pay attention to are you with me but god is after your heart god after god is after your will god is after our children because the demons they have to fight is much more than what we have fought before and the bible says our job is now to prepare the way of the lord and i did share with you it requires togetherness unity hard work money energy will time you name it the question is is god worth it is that worth my time today i want to bring you to the second part of this story from the book of ephesians chapter four now the book of ephesians chapter four this morning what i did not tell uh uh yeah i didn't see michael michael left early tell you the visitation that i had a little a very quick one and the lord said you talk about it i will show you okay in verse chapter four look at verse seven ephesians chapter 4 verse 7 but grace was given to each one where is grace sister grace say hello grace was given to each one of us according to what to the measure of christ's gift so can anyone say i don't have any grace no you can't all of us have the grace now according to the measure of christ gave how do i increase the measure when grace grows up how do i grow grace by the word of god the word of god produces the grace when grace grows the measure of christ's gift grows in you you can't be asking god give me more anointing you grow in grace now how does grace grow the bible says grace is multiplied through the knowledge of god through christ jesus first peter do you remember that scripture so grace itself can be grown within us so when grace grows through the knowledge of christ now basically that's what i meant earlier when we are reading the word of god he may not tell you what are the things growing as you are reading many things are happening inside your spirit man one of the things that is happening grace is multiplying when grace multiplies it becomes like a strong magnet when you are praying it's able to attach it it's able to attract it to be attracted up towards god when you are worshiping your spirit man is ascending with god because the grace is multiplied you know sometimes we struggle no matter how deep the worship can be you'll be still on the shallow end and by the time you are ready to feel some goosebumps the worship stops that's like 40 minutes later it takes 40 minutes to cook the meat are you with me why because the hearts are just too cold and frozen prepare your heart put it outside the freezer before you come to church so when we start the fire is all good we're all burning together how's that we allow the world to freeze us up the bible says this grace is given to each one of us all of us got some measure of grace tell your neighbor you have some nobody can say i don't have anything because you can't make god a liar see when you say i don't have anything you're making god a liar isn't it because the bible says all have got something everybody got something you use it or not whether you feel like it or not that's not the question now the parents got money but the children may not feel they have money they have an inheritance which they're not allowed to use are you with me the children may not feel like it but doesn't matter there is still some kind of inheritance that will come but here the bible says listen carefully god has given to us according to the measure of christ give all that is good now jesus is about to release the gifts now we know in verse 11 he gave anointings to everybody callings to everybody but what captivated was eight today i believe that's the anointing god is asking upon him upon who can he give us or probably as a church where he ascended on high can we all read together the next line he let a host of captives and he gave gifts to men verse 9 in saying he ascended what does it mean but that he also he also into the now we all know biblically speaking the lower regions simply means the regions of hell it is called regions of captivity jesus was here he ascended while he ascended he gave the church the gifts callings of prophets and but before he could even do that he went down into the regions of captivity in the regions of hell and set the captives free and i pray in the name of jesus my brothers and sisters that god will release a new passion for souls a new passion for families whose sons and daughters are in captivity husbands and wives are in captivity now i've said i've shared this probably on the first second or third message but for the sake of many new people who have come i just want to take a probably five to ten minutes to share when the lord showed me about the souls in hell is that okay that was in uh when we went to egypt in 200 2017 and i had this visitation when i was in prayer i was taken down to a region of hell and i don't know where it was and while i was there strong powerful looking like as though they are they are they are these hugs you know powerful looking body mess type of demons with ugly looking face as you can even imagine what if you see some of these demons you you will not be able to even say they are ugly they are beyond that disruption you you you will not be able it's disgusting you know what's the funny thing lust sometimes looks beautiful but he got to see the demons of love's house how they look you got to look at it the moment you look at them you will not even want to have lust anymore that's how disgusting they look in the original in every time of history in every platform demon demonic spirits will possess certain celebrities to become the host of the spirits of lust they will be lifted up right to the platform of popularity through their songs through their dressing through their words through their lifestyle they will release that spirits of lust to dominate that culture that is why when the beatles came and all the hippie culture came it was drug sex and rock and roll an entire culture was wiped out and no one hold them responsible for it they were millionaires following and those who followed them became purpose because that drug culture brought them out to the streets but no one charged them for it no one counter suit their songs for it look at some of the songs that today our teenagers are listening some of you holy parents don't know you think they are listening to maranatha songs all the time they are not take time to listen to the lyrics not every song is wrong it starts out right then you listen you say i feel like dying i feel like killing myself i feel like killing someone because they are all writing from the depths of hell and that spirits will come against you and put you into a psychosis do you understand what i'm saying and people do those things i was taken down to this region powerful demonic spirits like bodybuilders they're holding down a chain i'll demonstrate here okay you like demonstration okay everybody like me to do drama every sunday everybody can see you see okay all right cameraman can you see me yes okay they're pulling down the boulder so it is like real force you know pulling down and i could see balls of iron and then the strong chain now this chain that went up is not the ordinary household chain it's like as though it is the anchor of a big cruise ship you can see how big the fat the chains are and this holding down and the lord was showing me the end he's showing the muscles of this demonic spirit and the lord said these are not ordinary spirits these are mighty spirits that is holding down my eyes was tracing through the uh chain to see who are they holding down why is that so much a force why is there so much of interest if our lives is worthless then why is the demons paying so much of attention to us if you are nobody then why is the demons coming against you he should just leave you alone isn't it because you are not even worse to god's kingdom or you're not even worth to the kingdom of darkness they shall leave you alone only the demons know every soul is precious in the eyes of god only the demons know that so please exercise some faith about you the faith that the demons have at least please do you get what i'm saying and so when i traced my eyes and i saw the young people the youths i was brought back to the earth i i saw the eyes and it came and all the upstairs young men and young women their necks were chained and they're looking behind and these demons were having a choking hole and holding them with such a fall i said who are these oh god he said these are all my young sons and daughters that i'm going to use in this end time revival the enemy enslave them through their desires throw so much of lusts against their path so much of temptations make their problems look like it is their problem instead of problems sent by the enemy are you with me what our children don't know and what the world psychology has make you to believe that you are the problem but you are not you are attacked by demons your soul is under attack your emotions can be under attack sometimes our desires can be stirred and provoked by this demonic spirit it comes under attack and that's where uncontrolled lust comes against us and not everybody has overcome some of us giving you give in small you give in medium and you give in big and you'll be given mighty all in different stages of categories are you with me but today the son of man has come to set us free jesus is reminding us folks we can be so lost in building our gifts and we forget the very fact that jesus wanted to show you before i would release this anointing upon my church the very reason i gave you these gifts so that you and i will descend to the regions of captivity and sons set my sons and daughters free it is not to glitter with the anointing it is not to show off how many pastors we have in the church and in some churches men they got 100 members they got 90 pastors everybody you turn is a pastor okay if you have 90 pastors then you better have thousands of souls man because one can chase somni two harmony can you tell me somebody tell me what is our attendance today today today is 75 okay let's divide 75 by 2. 37 and a half okay let's make it 37 please very precise 37 times 10 000 come on simple max 37 times 10 000 37 000 this church has the potential to chase 37 000 demonic spirits out of our region somebody say three people clap in the other war really really sure come on give a mighty club to jesus see we don't believe that we don't believe what jesus said but he said it exactly what he meant that is why a marriage put together by god is a powerful army before the mighty presence of god and that's why the devil fights that marriage he fights the brothers and sisters sitting together because they are a mighty component but jesus is reminding us my brothers and sisters when you try your best to shine individually you're going to become a sitting duck for the enemy but when we shine together jesus wants to ask this question to us as together as a family if i will anoint each one of us if i why am i using the word us because we are the brothers and sisters of the lord isn't it you know what jesus said you say he who does the will of my father is my brother and he's my sister it is possible if we do the will of god the father we become his brothers we become his sisters and he said he said this if i would want to give this anointing to my brothers and sisters can i trust you to go down to the regions and set the captives free when the lord showed me that he asked me today i will bring you to set the captives free i had no clue how to pray i've never done that before i've heard other prophet friends of mine who have that anointing to go down to hell in different visitations they had and there was this particular pastor's wife she has this experience so i call her can you please come and lead the prayer and she said no the lord tells you to do you go and do it i say okay went up to the stage i was preaching like a train angeline was telling slow down slow down slow down i didn't know when because the lord said you go up to the stage when i tell it to stop you stop then i'll tell you what to do next so this anticipation was going on inside me i was praying and i was praying and i was praying and i started to preach that was a translator that day there were more than about 10 translators in a different booth 10 different languages okay and i'm here speaking like as though i'm i'm running in a speed race right and because i was looking out what is going to happen next while as i was coming to the end of the sermon which i already rode a huge lion came and stood at the front door i said okay something is happening another lion came another lion came now i realize i'm thinking in every jungle there is only one lion lionesses they control they not will not allow another lion to come right and they all watch zoo kingdom or not how come i say lion you don't know you are thinking what animal is that if you know you must agree with me yes okay you see now you know it's a lion one day you're going to ask me pastor please leave the church [Laughter] we can't take you anymore is it so when i saw this lie and i was wondering how come the lions are together lions never go together but the lord said these are my lions each individual warrior stands together and fight together the body of christ has got no clue what anointing is all about the new anointing of unity that is going to come we have no clue you know why because all of us have a vision of a church that is divided we are influenced by a leadership that is power hungry some churches we in fact it's even a joke it's not demon possessed it's deacon possessed have you heard of this it's a very old-fashioned baptist joke they are so they are not even fearful of god but they are fearful of the deacons they carry such a power and so everybody has a very poor a reputation of what a church is but god is building a brand new company of men and women who will rise up for the glory of god these lions came together and the lord said now stop praying and enter into the spirit inside my heart i was crying and i was saying god you know i don't know how to do it right he said you don't worry you close your eyes to pray i will tell you what to do and when we close our eyes to pray we descended into the darkness into regions and i could feel i'm traveling and falling into a bottomless pit and this angel was accompanying me the moment the lord said now open your mouth and command my light to shine forth the moment i command it out of my mouth this lion right in front came and using the paws and this whole the the the uh what you call that the nails sticking out to claws sticking out together and light of heaven came in shone out breaking the chains apart to set our sons and daughters free do you know on the next day many many young people came to the altar to respond to christ if you're a young guy here a young person here listening i want to tell you something perhaps you are thinking you are the one who is struggling perhaps you thinking i got this problem and i got that problem what if i tell you don't have any problem but you are under attack you have such a call from god that the demons are fighting you left and right you can't believe it because we are used to church being led by heroes you are used to church being led by degree holders today i want to introduce a church run by ordinary folks who trust the living god and if we have done all these race and today we have raised up so many sons and daughters who can plant churches they are ordinary fellows who are still going to work they can plant churches our sons and daughters in this church can also be raised by god in such a way somebody say amen all that i said last week i'm telling you again give your life and i'll train you up i know the ways of god i know the ways of favor and what we have to do to get the favor of god get the anointing of god get the grace of god that this anointing will rest upon our lives then what happens every action that we do uh it's a result of god's commandment and results will come through every action that means we are not trying to do this and trying to do that trying to grow the church and trying all the kind of stuff everything that we do is a result of the command of god and this is how the prophets walked with god where god created miracles in their lives every time the prophet will come and say god i've just done what you told me to do you see do you remember when the prophet elijah was mucking around and mocking in fact the prophets of baal do you remember that in first kings chapter 18 would you even dare to do that i don't think so man they were doing all the dance man on all the disco you know what happened when they used to do all the dance the demons did come they showed up all the time because they were doing a ritualistic dance the demons came they were cutting themselves and the demons come but this time nothing happened and that's why these prophets 850 got confused and do you know why they didn't come this time you may of course we are humble to say because god was there the truth is god's prophet was standing there that one man who carried the glory of god was enough to block every demonic power and chant and voodoo that can come through but you know what happens today an entire church is afraid of one sorceress living down the block right something we know there's a voodoo you know street number five door number seven okay so he should be frightened of us it's not the other way what's wrong with you because he looks very voodoo then you look more christian please [Laughter] ah please walk around with your bible like this let him know that you are the child of god put as a bigger cross as possible yeah well the many crosses they are selling everywhere walk around like the ugg bishop [Laughter] let him know you are coming the prophets of baal was not able to touch that day or do anything i have seen from a hindu background when these priests they will cut their flesh to let the blood drop i have seen with my own eyes you tell a neighbor he saw it with his own eyes okay i've seen it in my eyes when the blood drips to the ground it never touches the ground i've seen with my eyes demons will come in between the air and licked it out and he never touches i've seen it with my own eyes this is what the demon do but that day no chant was working i mean elijah at least you should be praying oh thank you father instead of that he's mocking at the oh try harder laugh more do more hey why are you instigating them bro [Laughter] why are you provoking them what if they do more and it comes he was playing a game man it was not that demons mocking at god is god's warriors mocking at the army of the enemy [Music] we have lost our voice and we have lost our guts we are trying rather than knowing god will show up we are hoping rather than decreeing the power of god is there what if god tells you today i'm not going to send you my angels you are enough would you handle that level of authority would you handle that level of power if god can give it to us why god is afraid of giving power because power destroys power brings pride and many churches have lost it many churches have lost instead of attracting christ they're attracting people to themselves money keeps coming and they become richer the preachers become richer suddenly they are such a on the market you know like the highest bidder will get them to speak it all started with humility pride has this power fame is this power but it is possible jesus showed us a way it is possible to have that absolute anointing from god and yet walk with humility if you wanted me to give you an example today i pray that we will be the one amen i don't know who else to grow for man why can't it be us it starts with us he has to go against the grain of our culture it has to go against the grain of pride it has to go again the grain of education system who is stronger who is brighter who is more studied more who's more qualified the guy who's got d d d d d d d d may not really mean anything in the kingdom of heaven and i'm not putting down any any deities i i got some deities beside me okay because in heaven many know how to pray when you know how to tuck a war with the enemy and you know you're on the winning side oh my goodness tell your neighbour you are enough some of you don't even have neighbors let's try that again i'm enough thank you darling okay so try that again huh let's do this very basic exercise try your neighbor you are enough i want to tell you as a man of god i want to tell you as a believer i want to tell you so brother honestly i can't believe it but that's what jesus is telling me now you are enough i've given you enough anointing i've given you enough authority in your life even if no angels will show up you are my force is the church ready not only to be ascended up on high and say there are so many anointings in this church every one of us can prophesy every one of us can receive revelation the same anointing we have on the stage to demonstrate the power of god must be the same passion we must have to lead one soul to jesus that our anointings are useless if it's not men to lead souls the more we know about spiritual warfare let's use that as our advantage to set the captives free it is not just of easy souls to be safe it is not fishing into another man's aquarium but really going down deep enough to catch some real fishes are you with me it's going to be tough i don't know what god has in store for jesus my king shall be i've really got no clue but i've been just praying god if there is something more you're going to show us please teach us together as a family i've never prayed all this time listen i want to tell you honestly and i know it's going to be live broadcast what breaks my heart is not going back to singapore what breaks my heart is not really about the visa issue whatever it is man what breaks our my heart and angeline and our team is that we have to leave you guys behind the friendship that have built and our job is not done yet that breaks my heart more than this irritation of this visa are you with me now by the way we just have to add some of the government officials say now later editing time please i did this time the government officials said that we need to create a whole church petition so that it will help them to know that we are really doing a job and it's not a scam it's not a phantom okay for all those who sign we'll give you free coffee i don't know what else to say okay let's get back to the message how many of you are strengthened this morning this bible you are holding is a very important armory of god please read it it's a very important arsenal you must know the combination lock in order to unlock this it's it's being silly if you if you have a armory full of weapons and guns and you don't know the passcode you die and this is what happens to most of us all of us we've got this entire thing at our disposal but you don't know how to unlock it and we think god has left me alone no now it it it brings chills to me if a demon will stand and the lord says there's no backup you are the only backup of god that did elijah was the only backup today god wants to anoint jesus my king yes and god's going to anoint you he's not going to ask me for your referral he's not going to ask me for your my opinion he's going to do it because you love jesus and i have all that i'm asking you give all that you got throw all this rubbish that we have in our mind all our preconceived ideas i am this and you are that please don't waste time throw this away i followed this guy's teaching i followed that guy praise god dead guys are all centering you back in jesus let's follow that god too amen i follow a lot of teaching when i needed that i do and i'm not a center one man i listen but today jesus wants to give another i've been preaching this gospel for 37 years now i have not seen this scripture like what i'm telling you today not because god didn't show me i was not matured enough to understand that depth of what is asking me and that part was not given to me now he wants us to do it together amen that the weak will become strong and that is why the school of prophets see one of the things the basic start of the school of prophets is spiritual skills but eventually we will have life skill training i'm qualified in counseling i'm qualified in many other things and there are many people that we can call to church that we can serve this community on many areas of help i want to call the fire brigade guys to help us know what we can do in times of emergency what are some of the equipments that we can store if there need be that we become an extension do you understand what i'm saying can we stop a crime what can we do to become a blessing to the community i want to know what we really can do not just pray and bind the demons don't go don't just give god the money give your time your time means it's your life god is running after that because he gave his life for you [Music] why and how long verse 13 says of chapter four until we all come to the unity of the faith the knowledge of the son of god number two number three mature to manhood so that the measure of the stage of the fullness of christ look at verse 14 and the lord showed me while the worship was going on i'm going to talk on verse 14 a little bit more i don't think so i can complete today so we will pray shortly so that we can we all read together please one two three go so that we may no longer be children toast to and fro by the waves carried by go ahead by human cunning by human cunning and all deceitful schemes he said one of the important purposes of teaching the word of god because the lord showed to paul there's going to come a time that there's going to be all kinds of winds of doctrine that is going to take place now i wanted to bring attention to first timothy chapter 4 verse 1. the book of first timothy chapter 4 and verse 1. look at what paul is now saying i saw these demons you know once i saw in a vision they were coming close and they had a suitcase and i asked the lord who are they and then he saw he told me this these are these demons now the spirit expressive expressly says that in the when letter time some world from the faith by hey listen listen not hearing not exposed not here say but by what devoting themselves to and have you ever heard that the demons have got a teaching department have you ever heard that demons got a teaching ministry but these are from the depths of hell there is a department their job is to spread lies falsehoods false philosophy they will create new philosophies that were ever was to question the existence of god to a question everything which is right they will turn it into opposite why not and then rebellion opens up you tell our children do something say why not why can i you don't have this answer i remember when my daughter was a little kid you she will ask a question it starts very cute you know she'll say why you'll answer that why you answer that why why and it becomes 450 wise after that your mouth is so painful can you please don't ask why because i don't have the answers and some of us we mock god by hiding our unbelief by asking why you just don't have answers it's not because you don't have the answer your heart is unwilling to follow god because these are demons that will come and teach and they will cause the body of christ and the people to toast to and fro like little children all the time now as you continue to remain as a little child innocent as it may say it only shows that we don't want to grow up and who is playing that game god revealed it to paul the demons will teach doctrines deceitful spirits that will come and infiltrate and look at verse 2 of the same chapter through the insincerity of what whose conscience what is the words here it's a medical term gets burned one more time gets burned one more time gets burned until to a point it has become so thick no feeling anymore it's dead flesh the conscience has become so dead into until to a point in sincerity will start building in no effect anymore to convictions i've been there i've heard that all the time the moment you mention jesus there is a rebellion that will come through and they don't know why it is going inside what they don't know is that deceitful spirits are at work our soul is under attack look at this verse 3 who forbid marriage require abstinence from foods from that god created to be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth for everything created by god is good and nothing is rejected you know this guy paul sometimes he sounds like he's preaching against the disciples he's preaching against the church he you know he said you can be so deceived if you become so legalistic if god is not found in what we are doing are you with me and so i pray that we will be committed to grow up because a mature church will have or will receive a mature anointing it is not just the presence i think someone said today i think angeline knows it it's not just about the presence of god but transformation let people be feel let people dance let people fall by the power of god but what we care is when you stand up what you're becoming not when you're falling what you are becoming when you stand up it sometimes you know i remember one man of god told me this guy came and i saw this guy in fact i experienced the same thing so i want to tell you what i experienced right so i i was praying for a lot of people and this guy said i'm not going to fall so you already put one leg forward one leg backward because either you fall forward or they're going to push you behind you know the christian fellows right in the name of jesus in the name of jesus he already put this forward musician okay and the lord in order to touch him he hid him from the side and he felt this way god is very cute he has his ways to touch us we must be if we want to say that we belong to jesus and we do it jesus way then let's be committed to the equipping of the saints let's be committed books are floating everywhere and all that you see what how is god measuring us look at verse 16 of ephesians chapter four from whom the whole body joined held together ephesians chapter 4 verse 16 held together by every joint which it is equipped are you in 16 yes when each part is working what makes the body grow so that it will build itself up in love you see the fruit of that product love is being measured so if i will do it right it will grow itself up it's a very powerful medical term you don't have to know you cannot engineer love you cannot duplicate love duplicate it it's not about action it's a very powerful sincerity that comes origination from the spirit of the lord somebody say amen god says if you do it right i will anoint the church it will build itself up in love we cannot understand that and i don't have to god measures us in this anointing a love for the sinner and the love for the same please please don't tell me you love the sinners and hate the saints some people hate love the saints and they hate the sinner it cannot work if you have the heart and the mind of christ you've got to love the sinner and you must love the saints yes do you realize that jesus is not walking down the streets of shelby and throwing out revelation to no one he looks out for his church that he can speak to he looks out for a church that is hungry he looks out for the church that is asking he equips them so that we will reach out on the streets and it requires time it requires energy every day let's make it count for the glory of god amen it doesn't matter all young fat thin doesn't really matter if god has given us an army let's do it together it requires some energy of your commitment whatever you have time let's do it little by little we will bring the stone down what is the name of that stone grain it hey don't laugh it is proper i'm not laughing the other one laughing no don't how many of you know the anointing of god is here the issue is not whether god will anoint us like elijah the issue is we must not run away from jezebel man and be in fear power has a way to eat you up if no one is watching your back revival history has proven to us how many men and mighty men of god has fallen and he requires for each one of us to watch our back yes our sons and daughters to stand up and do their work unhindered by god unhindered by the enemy god will protect us amen now the subjects that we are going to customize in the coming days in the coming months some of the things i want to do is only when i come back i can't do now but the school of prophets we want to kick off i pray that you will give your heart your time because you will see a very different teaching environment than what you hear me teaching here can we all stand up together
