[Applause] wow thank you lord you can sense it that this is a destiny moment we are on appointment with destiny and you can you can sense when it's coming just like they were telling elijah don't you know your master will be taken away from you he said i know just calm down i know just we're getting close and then elijah asked him what do you want i said double portion i want anointing he said okay just maintain your focus okay just be focused if you can see me when i'm taking up he did and he got the anointing and then went back to the same jordan that elijah and he and himself had crossed and he shouted where is the god of elijah hit the thing the thing parted for him ah if we saw him they said the spirit of elijah now rests on elijah that's somebody's testimony here today that this conference and this service becomes a reference point for someone so they say bc and they say 80. okay there's a b-a-f-g and there's an after in other words for someone the story changes here the story changes here the things that are impossible with men are possible with god someone comes into that phase of possibilities and what was so difficult before today it's going to happen so easy even you will be surprised the one thing you will be clear about is that it was not you because you're going to do the same thing you did before the results are going to be different now same phone calls the results will be different now same applications and proposals the results are going to be different now same emails the results are different now if you're the one i've been talking about say powerful amen please let's have a seat i'm just so blessed to be here just wish like the service you just continued brother sammy wow let's appreciate brother sammy of course so very specially you are a special gift just been so blessed today so blessed worshipping hallelujah thank you lord thank you pastor joe and pastor yemi thank you so much for having me back to be a part of this conference this year pastor joe you're looking sharp i must say in fact you are looking sharper [Applause] no sharpest i want to get a nobel prize so pastor yemi pastor nikki has to greet you very specially she's she she's preaching somewhere she's preaching arizona this body is the apostle in the house so we're grateful we're grateful to god we're grateful for the opportunity to see ourselves again and i am here not to preach a powerful someone because you have phenomenal teachers in the house but i'm just conscious of the fact that this for someone is an appointment and then i'm just going to speak as i am inspired to speak um [Music] one of our young billionaires in church in nigeria said to me um the first time we got to speak at close range he said oh by then i was running my doctoral program in strategic leadership so he said pastor how is your program going i said it's hard doctor a doctoral program is hard on any day everything just hangs in your head anything that it wants to displace everything including god just wants to take number one place you know so he said pastor why are you giving yourself stress why distress eh just pray anything god tells you just come and say it he said because that's how i got my breakthrough he said my first deal real estate deal i needed money was a nigerian currency 20 million i said i had no idea where to get the money from he said i was in the service and as you were teaching he said what happens to me is i hear even what you did not say it's easier for me to hear from god while you're speaking so he said what you were speaking he said the names of four people just dropped in my spirit that i should ask them for money so he said right after the service i stepped outside i took my phone i called the first one asked him to loan me five millionaire he agreed i called the second one the third one the fourth one while i was still in church premises he said that was it okay so stop all this stress give it yourself what he said made sense it's just that i also said to him okay but you've been listening to me see what you became okay he said so have you observed your circle of influence is changing your circle of friends changing now your friends some of them are governors and presidents said just fast forward to 10 years time what will i be saying that will make sense to you i said that's why i'm running ahead it's because of who you are becoming that's why i went to school so that i'll still be making sense to you in 10 years time right [Applause] but i'm prophesying about someone here that you will hear even what i will not say the spirit of god will break through every barrier to deliver direction to someone here today in the name of jesus a simple step that you take into obedience to god will result in big breakthroughs in the name of jesus christ so i read from ii corinthians chapter 12 and verse 9 new living translation second corinthians 12 and verse nine new living translation each time he said my grace is all you need my power works best in weakness so now i am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of christ can walk through me i'll title this candidate for the anointing i ask sweet holy spirit that you inspire me to speak to speak your word you know every single person that is a part of the service either physically or online or even the one that will participate in the service after today and i'm asking lord let destiny happen let your kingdom come let your will be done put someone in alignment with your divine plans and purposes and then father let the power of the holy spirit come on each one to empower us to fulfill destiny to break through limitations to walk in absolute victory in the name of jesus christ thank you lord in jesus name all right so that's a lesson i learned many years ago about how oysters make peels or how pills are made in oysters how and you know you you pick them up on the ocean you know and they said when a grain of sand enters the shell it irritates the oyster it irritates the oyster and then the oyster in order to get away from the pain secrets fluid you know gradually secretes fluid that forms around that grain of sand ultimately it is that fluid that solidifies and becomes a beautiful pail in the process of wanting to be free from pain okay to isolate the source of pain to get some relief it produces the power and that's what you have going on in second corinthians chapter 12. paul they are puzzled i mean the phenomenal apostle paul began that chapter by describing his encounters with god and the level of revelations people in at the churches people in at the church in corinth that paul was a fake so and then he said look i was caught up to the third heavens is that i had things there some of which i was not even permitted to share with human beings he said but so that i would not become proud said i found something in my life a messenger of satan is wondering why should i have to be dealing with something like this when i am disappointed when i'm this powerful it it doesn't fit so he said concerning this thing he said i prayed to god three times i pray to god through this thing does not fit my life i am supposed to be successful take it out it's not fitting the pictures what do you know about the picture leave it that actually is what has given me the opportunity to channel grace into your life wow he said because my own power works best when you are weak i don't want to walk when you are strong because when we have the results we won't know who brought out the result you will have something to brag about i want to walk in that area where you have nothing to brag about the bank was going to close at 5 00 p.m they had been praying trusting god for this money for days the money was not showing up now it was the last day and the hours were ticking by 4 45 a man walked into the office and and brought out an envelope and said you know what i was saving some money for something but the lord just spoke to me and why do you always wait till the last minute you could have brought this thing days ago you know it was like this thing was going to fall apart he said the holy spirit replied and told him oh no i wait the last minute so you can exhaust all your options i don't want a scenario where i do it and it looks like i was one of the options no i wanted to exhaust all of your options then i show up now you know it's me right weaknesses so that the power of christ can walk through me amazing so what god squeezes out of you when you're going through difficult times is anointing ask the only fruit we find it easy to use the anointing oil right to use the olive oil as anointing oil but how did the fruit come about how did the oil okay good so i'm not contesting that it's scriptural principle you received it right but it posted that check so when the holy spirit then begins to take you through the brethren you wonder what's going on but i thought i received the anointing where is the anointing it is working in fact it's the anointing that is now organizing your life and taking through you through the curriculum of the holy spirit oh yeah what he squeezes out of you when you're going through those difficult times is the anointing of the holy spirit i look back now and i realize the things that caused me pain that gave me stress as a christian that drove me to pray they are the things that make my story inspiring now interesting like but when i was going through them it wasn't easy it wasn't easy you know like i shared one of my stories yesterday how i visited many embassies and got a lot of rejection before i was able to travel out of nigeria very interesting scenario you know the the british guys those ones they were my customers at the point i remember at the point i told myself i will wear these guys out if they refuse me i'll go back again if they refuse my go back again so i went that year they refused me a visa i was back the following week so when i got to the window where they were getting the application the guy looked at you were here recently i said yes okay then you had to go yes you put in your application then they gave you an interview you came back was when i came back the second time that they said okay we'll be getting back to you they held the application i think it was it was eight months later before i heard from they just hanged it i think they got the brief they got the idea i had made up my mind it was going to cost money i'll just be going back tell people look i teach persistence but for once just because i was sitting there and had my interview with the holy spirit before i met the visa officer and the holy spirit told me you will not get this visa so when the guy interviewed me beautiful interview everything was going smooth and then all of a sudden he said well i'm just sorry i won't be able to give you if he says i wanted to push more documents at him he said no no don't worry i believe you i believe you if somebody says he believes you what else do you want to say after that he said he said he believed me but i'm just sorry and that was when i said okay can i have my passport please smiled out because i knew it was not the devil then it was god and i went back and prayed and the holy spirit spoke to me you know and said he wanted me to stay and build our church first okay and the church exploded you know after that so to me it was supposed to be rejection but it was actually redirection some of the people we are bitter against are actually helping us so what's the point of the bitterness god is using us to redirect us to the fulfillment of our destinies amen what i love about that experience is the fact that i was going i would have been bitter against the visa officer believing it was the visa officer that was the devil or the devil's agent i am happy about the fact that in that scenario i shifted my attention from people from the situation and focused it on god and that was where everything changed and that's the question i want to ask you today are you focusing on the pain why are you focusing on god the moment god gave paul his perspective paul switched to rejoicing even though the situation had not changed can you imagine he even said as it is now i won't even be ashamed of the issue now i'm going to brag about it so that is where the anointing is coming from bring it on yeah that's what he said he said so now i am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of christ can walk against can walk through me so if you're one of those people that believes that the fact that a child of god you are blessed by god you are anointed means that your life has to look perfect i think you are making a mistake one of the things that is likely to happen is that when you come close to people that are anointed blessed by god functioning under grace you're going to be disappointed and soon you will be gossiping you will be disappointed because when you come close to them you will suddenly find out that they have flaws or they have things they're dealing with and then to you it will be an anomaly to you to be they must be doing something wrong they must be fake oh no that happened to me once i got close god god gave me a mentor i got close to him then i now saw his human side and i saw some dimensions to him and in any case even very different from me temperament wise so i saw some things i didn't like and then i was going to get you know distracted disaffected and then the holy spirit said to me hold on why why did i connect you with him i said for the grace on his life to flow on my life he said exactly focus on that i did not call you to do assessment on him focus on that he said what you don't know is that he is aware of those weaknesses and that it is because of his conversations with me about them actually that's why i'm putting that amount of anointing on his life and if you can't deal with that then you can deal even with your own flaws so i stopped focusing on people i just only realized that nobody has any power to do anything nobody can hurt me without god's permission first corinthians 10 13 there is no temptation that has come to you that is not common to man there's nothing somebody else people have nothing before he said but god is faithful who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able to bear the key word that always jumps out to me there is the word allow allow that devil has not been invented that can hurt me without god's permission that's what you get from the story of job we get bitter with people for nothing honestly we get bitter with people for nothing they don't have the power we ascribe to them we make a lot of noise about the devil he's doing this he's doing that he's not that powerful he can't do anything beyond what he is allowed to do satan was created to be a messenger for god he's created an angel and they've not changed his job description just that he's a rebel so whatever he is he wants to do sometimes god allows him to do some sometimes god does not allow him to do something he's still a messenger so even when he's acting crazy he's helping to fulfill god's assignment no one can hurt you without god's permission and they always have limits amen i'm not going to ascribe to anybody anymore more power than they really have not any boss not any government official no one nobody amen satan just distracts us makes us better with people okay makes us better with but he's the one trying to hurt us actually i have a lot of stories with immigration stories it was january 2009 i arrived at heathrow and we were opening an office in london that week so this was thursday morning and i had just employed a young man a manager he resumed office on monday and i was just going to put him through you know and we're going to discuss the things we will do for the year and then you know i saw the immigration officer i was smiling it took me a few seconds to realize the lady was not smiling you know and then before i knew it he asked me to sit down give me a of your parents said i should sit down i waited for some time and then a customs officer came and said well they said i should check your bags so we went to the baggage claim area he said i should take my bags the only thing he observed was at the bargain claim area people were greeting me good morning sir good morning sir so he stopped and asked one of them you know him he said oh yes who is he guy said he said oh you're a good man okay so i'm gonna i'm going back to tell them they'll let you go okay in a few minutes thank you only that when i got up there i sat down again for quite a while until another person came a lady british nigerian she said they said i should check your bags okay we went again she was checking through the bags checking through she got to a point you know and she was chatting with me said i hear you a pastor said yes you've not met before you've been coming here to preach say yes apparently you've not preached in my church before she got to a point she said look what's the point really then she said look i better check everything you know she said just that when i woke up i could not have imagined i would be doing this you know when i woke up this morning ah that was when i sensed there was something i went back waited again before they now picked me i said i had to go and do an interview long and short of it i ended up at the detention center oh yeah at hitro i spent the whole day there i saw all sorts of things other people that had been stopped by immigration people crying wailing all sorts you know then wow thank you lord you can sense it that this is a destiny moment we are on appointment with destiny and you can you can sense when it's coming just like they were telling elijah don't you know your master will be taken away from you he said i know just come down i know just we're getting close and then

last refusal i got at the british embassy before i began to get visas and how okay we had this appointment we traveled on family vacation to greece and italy just came back and the next day i had this appointment at the british air commission so because i had issues with them i felt like this time this time all the documents were okay there was money in the account we just came back from europe so and then i had my letter of invitation came from kicc and apart from the letter of invitation they wrote a letter how did they guarantee for financial indemnity or sometimes i've forgotten how to try to that they should be fined if i did not return to nigeria so with me all the documents were correct everything set only that i was refused again and then in the middle of the night about 2 a.m i woke up went into the study lay on the floor and said holy spirit i was so sure it was time so what's the problem this time say yes the way you want to structure your traveling i have a problem with it it will distract you from what i asked you to build here so whenever you want to travel you will ask me i'll tell you where to go you will go straight there and come straight back home i said deal if that's the issue as i stood up from the floor i just heard my spirit write a letter to the high commissioner so i sat down on the desk drafted the letter and then asking him to review my application so when i got to the point where i was relaying what happened at the interview then the anger came and i was putting it on paper i was angry with the visa officer that interviewed me honestly i was then the elizabeth said don't be bitter with anyone write what i ask you to write i say okay i'm down he's not my problem i ended up with a beautiful diplomatic letter you know got to the office asked my personal assistant to go send it by korea what i was requesting for was another interview two weeks later also maybe 10 between 10 days and two weeks i can't remember exactly my peers ran into my office holding a letter sir you need to see me you need to see this it wasn't an interview they said the application for visa has been approved come and pick your visa also so dead right so i'm just saying having been through that and knowing okay now that it is the fact that the holy spirit is jealous over his plans for my life he doesn't want me running his agenda on my plans he doesn't want any addiction doesn't want any subtraction exodus 25 verse 40 moses you know god said to moses seed that you build according to the pattern that was shown to you on the mountain according to the design that was do exactly that so once i realized that was the issue that's why when i was then detained i mean which was which was supposed to be a really rough deal i was perfectly calm i said holy spirit what is this about he said yes he said i'm going to move you in a direction in which you would not have gone if this had not happened i said okay we're ready for another redirection so um there was a flight be a flight out in the night to abuja so i said they should put me on the flight and please make sure that i was in the business class [Music] when it was time to go was real movie when it was time to go then two gentlemen came two officials came and said sir you won't be going through the normal route we will have to escort you today to the plane i said that's fine and then as we're walking he said sir you look very different from the normal kind of people that we deal with here so we will explain to you what's going to happen we're not going to walk straight okay to the boarding gate we'll have to take you in the vehicle okay and that vehicle they said it's actually a cage we just want to warn you if you get a phone call don't pick it because there's a camera in there to be recording you all through i said oh thank you when we got to the plate he said sorry we're not giving you a passport we'll give it to the head of the crew when you've left uk space airspace they'll give you your passport that's because if the plane turns back within the the uk airspace you you are not supposed to get your passport they will bring it back to us thank you movie right so once we were out of uk airspace the head of the cabin crew came and said reverend what happened i said don't worry just some slight issues with immigration will sort ourselves out said okay so here's your passport when we landed in abuja as i was walking out of the aircraft then she said reverend all the best to you uh well sorry uh you won't just be walking straight out of the aircraft these gentlemen from the nigerian immigration are here to take you say oh okay thank you so the moment the two gentlemen saw me they just prostrated what's the point i'm driving at if you see anyone blessed lifted anointed and in your own thinking your assumption is that by the time you are that blessed you are anointed it means your life is perfect in fact the proof that god loves you and the proof that you are anointed and blessed that you have grace that your life is perfect i'm saying you are grossly mistaken because the problem there is that it tells me right now you are not dealing well with your own issues and you don't need to tell me before i know that you have issues the things that ordinary people in the world will see in a person's life and write the person of say write the person of as a failure something's wrong with the person it doesn't work in god's economy like that paul the apostle says those things actually god told me that's the reason why he's pouring grace into my life because his power is you know is revealed in my own weakness so i'm i'm not going to hide my issues why do we find the story of joseph so inspiring it was the challenges what's the challenges and i love what joseph himself said all of us know a normal person that goes through such situations should be bitter but he was not when their father died his brothers thought they were dead that it was the presence of their dad that was restraining joseph so they came and lied he said our father said before he died that you should have mercy on us genesis 50 verses 18 to 20 new king james version genesis 50 18-20 new king james version then his brothers also went and fell down before his face and they said behold we are your servants joseph said to them do not be afraid for am i in the place of god but as for you you meant evil against me but god meant it for good in order to bring it about as it is this day to save many people alive amen so he was saying i know you guys think that you were in charge all that time that you were deciding on what to do okay you thought you were in charge you were not you know the first discussion they had was to kill him and then one of them said he's our blood let's not kill him why did the discussion go like that it was god's intervention i'm telling you that at the meeting where they're mentioning your name god is showing up on your behalf he is putting limits putting boundaries on what satan can do don't glorify him he's not as powerful as people think he is they could not kill him because god had shown him a vision of the future one of the major things a vision from god does is to preserve your life no devil can kill you until the fulfillment of those visions and dreams god gave here you remember some 40 people got together and made a vow that they would not eat until they had killed or killed paul did they kill paul no if they kept their vows then they died of starvation i trust them they suspended the vows you can't kill him until his time comes okay so they then say oh okay then they saw the ishmael like they saw those traders come in and say let's sell him let's tell him i sleep let them carry him to a far country so that we would never even see him anymore and then they went to tell the dad that he was dead they were deceiving themselves why did god allow for him to be sold to traders going to egypt because interestingly there was a dimension to the vision that god did not tell anybody he will always remain god the secret things belong to god the ones that are revealed are the ones we can do deuteronomy 29 29 god did not tell anybody including joseph himself the location for the fulfillment of the vision it was egypt when the discussion got to let's sell him to traders to carry to egypt god said yeah yeah go ahead with that because that egypt actually is the place for the fulfillment of the vision that's why he was telling his brothers i know you thought you sold me actually it wasn't you it was god that was sending me there are two dimensions to it so you look at it from the human angle it was betrayal it was selling into slavery you look at it from god's perspective it was sending oh everyone that walked against you until today was helping you thank them all the bitterness is unnecessary hallelujah your challenges are meant to put you in the state of total dependence on god that's all god wants to get out of it so when paul says concerning this thing i besought the lord thrice i prayed to god three times i can hear from god's perspective exactly you're so gifted so talented so strong that when you confront issues the first thing that comes to you is not prayer it is strategy says i want to hear your voice how can you hear how can i have a son and not even hear the voice say so harass him or harass high a little bit it's a father i say exactly your voice is sounding like music to my ears he says i prayed the first time nothing happened i prayed the second time exactly you need to pray you need to need god amen you remember jacob gifted man talented with prophecy about him even before he was born and then i don't know what the problem was with isaac he named the young man according to the circumstances of his birth instead of naming him by the prophecy two nations are in your womb even if you lack creativity in choosing names for your children name the first one nation one nation two or first nations second nation why name somebody esau islam is hairy because he had a lot of hell on his body the second one they said he was struggling with his brother because he had the leg so obviously he wanted to come out first this guy is a clever guy and then jacob was struggling with that all his life unable to trust god depending on his calmness in his cleverness genesis 32 god tells him go back home go inherit the land i promise abraham isaac and jacob on his way they tell him isa is coming to meet you with 400 soldiers i'm dead and then he started skimming again the wife that he liked less he sent her ahead with the kill with her children the one he liked more it's all in genesis 32 then the bible says jacob was left alone then somebody showed up and then jacob goes again into survival mode and then began to resume later when we then realized it was god it was a manifestation of god jacob had to was always in competition had to always win i had to always scream find their way through at the point then they said god knocked his hip out of the hip socket created a weakness because that's what we're talking about right created a weakness even then the guy was still wrestling then god said it's okay i'm leaving and for the first time you you hear jacob say ah if you don't bless me i will not let you go he says why didn't you start from there what is your name see we have to deal with this problem from the foundation what is you and he says jacob the clever voice from today your name is no longer jacob your name is now israel the prince of god oh thank you jesus now jacob has a limp see what i'm talking about that thing in the life of a leader of a blessed person of a very prosperous person that doesn't look like it jacob has a limp but he's anointed when he meets jacob the man who had vowed before he left home that he would kill him jacob he saw a run towards him hugged him and kissed him wow because the person he vowed to kill was dead and buried this was a new person now anointed with the character of god did i hear you say amen so whatever it is we're going through this is the purpose of it but we will not take our focus and put it on the problem that we will learn to put our focus on god and learn to depend on him as our helper depend on him as our provider depend on him as our healer depend on him instead of quarreling pray instead of fighting pray instead of being bitter pray just focus on god amen just focus on god so i close with second corinthians chapter 4 verse 7 new king james version then i will read new living translation second corinthians 4 7 but we have this treasure in 18 vessels that the excellence of the power may be of god another verse new living translation says we now have this light shining in our hearts but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure this makes it clear that our great power is from god not from ourselves amen [Music] so you read that verse you remember the story of gideon and how god wanted to deliver israel from the midianites through gideon and god told him to blow the trumpet gideon gathered a large 32 000 people showed up and god said i don't walk that way i don't if you get the victory you will think it's because of the size we need to trim down these people by the way you don't fight with people that are not committed he says make an announcement anyone who just got married and he's still on honeymoon he will be distracted anyone who just bought land or just planted the farm hasn't eaten the fruit from it and so let them go back 22 000 people said um we'll see you later ten thousand left god said there's still too many bring them down to the river let's test them a little bit only 300 made it and gideon gave them jars of clay but put touches you know with fire on them inside and they approached the enemy he said when i blow the trumpet smash those jars of clay and then bring out the light and let's trust god for victory so when i read this passage of scripture it just you know describes exactly the same thing we're carrying something powerful we're carrying something or not something very powerful it's the anointing the only thing is as long as we don't learn to depend on god as long as we've not come to the end of our human ability that power will be held back that means our jaw of clay is still in place okay our dependence on our human ability is still in place it's shielding the light it's frost it's blocking the flow of the anointing that jar of clay needs to be smashed to pieces so that we will have nothing to brag about when we share our story when we share our testimony it would be obvious only god can get the glory did i hear you say amen this conference marks the end of struggle for someone honestly if you've experienced grace from god you you will appreciate what i'm saying you you really struggled and struggled to do something you struggled to get something and then when it is god's time when grace kicks in you get the same thing and you wonder could it be this easy exactly it can be really easy especially when it's impossible look at abraham and sarah as long as they still had some ability they were playing tricks that was when sarah came up with this fantastic idea and they produced ishmael and then abraham went to god and said oh god it looked like you were about to be boxed into a corner because sarah is past menopause me too i'm on the way but just before that happens we organized something so bless him god said oh fine he came from you so i'm going to bless him but you should have waited for me the one i'm going to use has to come from me god now waited till both of them the bible says their bodies were as good as dead in romans chapter 4 then god produced the baby so that forever when you share the testimony it will be a testifoni okay some some some testimonies are testifulness there was manipulation there there was some scheming there there was some you know no god wants to get all the glory i'm calling someone today into a prayer of consecration total dependence on god lord if it is not you then i don't want it i'm not going to do it my way i'm not going to ski what you give me is what i have if you scheme to get it somebody with a better skin will take it i'm calling us to that place of consecration and for someone today honestly what is here is name change they called you poor they will be shocked name change someone will leave the service and you will know that all those negative labors they pulled on you have fallen off what was impossible is becoming possible each time he said my grace is all unique my power works best in weakness so now i am glad to boast about my weaknesses so that the power of christ can walk through me will you by your head with me and pray lord i don't want to waste my pain open my eyes to see what's really going on i take my eyes of the pain i take my eyes off the challenges if i ever thought somebody was my problem i take my eyes off them today if i thought it was the devil i take my eyes off him today he's not worth my attention i'm focusing on you show me your glory let your power be revealed in my weakness i commit today to follow you i commit to obey you i commit to do it your way i ask you to anoint me afresh empower me afresh to fulfill the destiny you have for me thank you lord it's a prayer of consecration the prayer of consecration the prayer of consecration a prayer of consecration thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord thank you lord my power works best in weakness thank you lord in jesus name oh let's pray heavenly father thank you i have spoken your words not mine it's all about you so now heavenly father i have

please stand to your feet with me as we pray thank you lord jesus first samuel 16 verse 1 god said to someone how long will you mourn for saul i have rejected him fill your horn with oil go down to the house of jesse i have decided to make one of his sons a king and i'm saying to someone here today god is saying why mon about the lost job lost opportunity lost relationship lost pregnancy lord the days of mourning are over in the name of jesus christ i announced a new beginning first samuel 16 13 and samuel anointed david in the midst of his brethren and the spirit of the lord came upon him from that day forward i declare this service marks the end of depending on human ability [Music] from here on your accomplishments will be god's size [Music] and the spirit of the lord came upon him from that day forward i prophesy in the name of jesus a new level of spiritual authority for sure i receive for you fresh baptism of power in the mighty name of jesus i declare you an anointed solution provider [Music] by this new anointing displaced territorial spirits take over new territories from them any city where god has placed you any country you enter into for your sake the spiritual configuration will change walk in total victory trade over serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy nothing shall by enemies hurt you those demons said jesus i know paul i know who are you i declare now your presence is registered your identity is registered in the realm of the spirit wherever you show up the power of witchcraft is destroyed in the mighty name of jesus

authority that is that has been working against they are dissolved now in the mighty name of jesus the cycle of failure is broken a new cycle begins it's a cycle of victory at first it will look like a coincidence then it will happen again and again and again things will happen in your favor in the mighty name of jesus and the spirit of the lord came upon him from that day forward verse 14 says and the spirit of the lord departed from saul and his spirit began to bother him then he said can we find a young man who will play on the hub so that i can be refreshed somebody says i know a young man david the son of jesse you ask yourself was that coincidence in verse 13 he was anointed in verse 14 his name was mentioned in the palace no coincidences with god no coincidences with god i'm declaring that by this anointing this empowerment this anointing for greatness coming on someone here that heaven will cause your name to be mentioned where it matters the next seven days the next seven days your name will come up somewhere your face will come up in somebody's mind [Applause] the next seven days a decision will be made in your favor it will be status changing in the mighty name of jesus christ i prophesy that you've come to a new level of wisdom ideas will come to you now that never came before solutions will come to you now what looks difficult to other people will be easy

possessing real estate that you can't even afford [Music] possessing equipment and vehicles you couldn't even afford you will attract financial resources like never before in the name of jesus christ and just in case you say my relationship with god is not okay though i must be honest my relationship god is not okay well that's important that's good that's an opportunity for god to even step into your life because every human being was born a sinner and then to help us god sent jesus to die on the cross if you're that honest person who says look my relationship with god is not okay i can't even say i'm a child of god i can't say i'm free from sin i want god to forgive my sins since jesus died on the cross for my sins i'd like to say short prayer with you it's life changing can you
