for so many things and during the service apostle made so many declarations and part of it was job openly praise the lord as when he was talking i just pictured myself testifying and i'll start today which is the last day of the week i've been dressing up for a job in a clinic for some time now and they called me the hr called me and he said mrs regina please i want you to come on monday for an interview i was so happy because this is what i've been trusting god for and just um inside the service today i got a message from them and they said you are resuming one day from here everything we have been believing god every person believing god for you will not leave this service before the answer drops in your life in the name of jesus christ of nazareth praise the lord coming here my name is matsuyoti i started following since 217 and since then i can't number the amount of encounters that i've had with him and the way my life changed from a religious very strict religious person to someone that is led by the spirit of god and through his teachings i started seeing the activation of what i have been reading since in the bible in my life glory be to god talk about the message of god as i said how god was working with me little by little till i come to a place of understanding i thought about the gift of men my marriage was by the gift of men you want to do a wedding of 1 million you don't have up to 20 000 accounts and i don't know where the faith comes from but i know it's from the message that i've been hearing he said if you believe that that chair you are sitting on cannot fall on the ground god is greater than that i had faith and my marriage was a success money just came in people just come and bought money bought materials bought everything spiritually my life changed when my wife came to me she started understanding one day she was sleeping she had a dream that serpent biter after three days she didn't tell me the dream because i was not around i was in benin so when i came down to abuja in the night she said that leg is spinning i said what happened to your accent nothing you didn't hit your leg your leg is spinning suddenly she couldn't walk she was now hoping on one day i said no nobody so you are not we are not committing sin here are we you are my wife hallelujah so i spoke against that spirit i say you s serpentine spirit get out in the name of jesus i couldn't have done that before but by the knowledge of god and she didn't thought it was just a normal thing before she knew it she was able to walk well what she said she still feels much more pain the next day it went so last of all financially god has been helping me it's not last of all but it's just i want to summarize god has been helping me financially the work of my hands have been saying results may his name be praised i mean our turning along grow higher and higher in jesus name i strongly believe that as we are listening to these testimonies miracles are already happening is the place of encounter with the spirit of the living god and there is no distance in the realm of the spirit the influence of strange spirit by the grace of god servant in this place is being broken right now in the name of jesus christ praise the lord praise the lord [Applause] we woke up one morning at home we don't have anything we don't have a dime everything was just plenty in the kitchen but we had rice fiscal rice but all other things zero so my friend was she was somehow way down and i went outside to pray i started praying bringing our relevant scriptures in the bible that has to do with money while i was praying it was clear i had it was clearly prayer with the god of joshua salman for financial release that prayer point came like an espo i bombarded heaven with it i prayed pureed and asleep while i was praying my phone rang i saw plus six four i said australia i stopped the prayer [Applause] hallelujah praise the lord so i picked the phone hello camila i said john how are you hi it's nigeria i said john it's not god that it's good i told you to call me you go that is in heaven what is happening i said we are roasting in nigeria what is happening

mighty supply in my life in the name of jesus [Applause] hallelujah my name is simi grace a.j i'm here to thank god almighty because of what he's been doing in my life i'm from a family of strict catholics you know when i say strict catholics father mother of the time they disowned me before i got married but i thank god for salvation i knew about this ministry three years ago i started following online telegram facebook anywhere i see connor i'll just follow whether as if i was following and i got into a group telegram about 20 000 followers i've been putting a lot of my colleagues there and transformational messages is what we listen to so when i saw the poster here i said ah he has come to meet us my children said mommy mommy see the man i used to say dimensions [Applause] because i played the messages in the kitchen in the bathroom everywhere on my way to work i play them so this morning i mean this evening i'm here to testify two things god did very phenomenal in my life this morning my church is in cuba i i kept food on the fire i didn't know i forgot i got to cooperate i mean children's church i was teaching them i just remembered that i put food on the fire god i flew like you know i flew out of the church and i started driving from cuba down to many ministers quarters here behind me sasquatches i drove 120 i was speeding by the time i got there to the glory of god the security men had opened the door in fact my brother-in-law kept the kids somewhere i didn't even know so for me that was just a miracle that he kept the key somewhere and they got it and they entered that's number one number two two sundays ago i was here and while pastor peter rock was ministering the word came for me he said you are talking about bones bones bones i'm sure some of you still remember he was saying bones that somebody who had an accident some time ago it affected your neck i was already living with that pain i was already living with the fact that when i get older i'll just put a color on my neck and i'll be leaving i never knew god would meet me for four years i couldn't bend down i couldn't lift up my head for four years and god healed me that day in jesus name and here's glorify him we give god the glory thank you lord jesus hallelujah [Applause] your name and what god has done for you my name is evans i want to testify of the goodness of the lord for our ministry sometime last year we started a ministry and along the line we ran into very deep financial difficulty and i prayed i did everything i did kingdom investments and all of that but to no avail so i think that was on the 28th of february i saw apostle salman's flyer online i was doing something online and i now remembered what the spirit told me that no without contradiction the lesser is blessed by the greater i now said i think um this is my time so i now came i rushed down here there were so many people here and i managed to scamper for a seat outside there and i was just something i was telling myself just get to where the speaker is that's all you need i now got there i sat down and it was about the time apostle sermon started ministering and he prayed he got to a point he said he gave us the story of peter in the prison how he got to these the iron gates that led to the entrance of the city and when he prayed it was as if something came into my heart on monday uh when i was at work i saw um and a lot on my phone i didn't know where the alert came from okay i tried to trace it i went to our google page and i saw it okay i gave glory to god on on tuesday that was 30th of february i got a call from somebody in florida and the person was giving me he started giving me directives he said do this do this do this this is how you get the money and i was shocked because everything was just like a dream so i now got the money and brothers and sisters i want to testify that ever since then the prophecy of apostle selma i've not met him before but i want to tell you that ever since then there has been sporadic financial breakthrough left right center in our ministry hallelujah i've come to give glory to god glory be to god let me [Applause] before we take this testimony let me read one testimony here from aquila bearing he said i write i wrote jam and i got the admission but couldn't go because of some financial issues the second time i took jam i was afraid but i had a ray of hope in god then i listened to the mystery of deliverance by apostle joshua selma this is the second testimony i'm reading tonight where someone said i listened to the mystery of deliverance that means that i would want to encourage every one of us to look for that teaching online on the website and get to listen to it he said i listened to the mystery of deliverance and follow the instructions given in the message god now connected me to the counselor of a private university who gave me admission and took over all of my tuition fees i give god the glory hallelujah your name and what god has done for you please praise god i'm pressured to value for from the aesthetics department on thursday morning at about 4 a.m we realized my daughter was running high fever we don't know where it came up she was fine before she went to bed and so we decided to go to the hospital to know what triggered it at about nine we were at the hospital we saw the nurses we were waiting for the doctor and all of a sudden we noticed that she was unconscious she was just she was just looking not responding she were calling her name she was not responding we don't know what happened and so we rushed to the nurse station and the matron was on duty and she she immediately told us that she was unconscious and next thing we know she was rushed to the theater they were pricking her with so many injections passing some triangles so many things they passed the tube through her passing oxygen and it was just so fast i couldn't hold myself i was crying i couldn't help myself and all of a sudden it was as though i was in korean and towards the end of the service i saw a person stretch his hand forward and said to us receive the grace to pray this week and all of a sudden i was able to pray i was able to speak in tongues and she started responding to treatment she actually came back just like that i want to thank god tomorrow she looks too i'm not mourning her i don't know what it should have been but i'm just here to say god i'm grateful that she's alive and she's healthy praise god secondly i want to thank god on behalf of my brother he asked me to give this testimony god elevated him in a way that none of us imagined we are praying to god to give him a new job or retain him where it was but the way god did it it was so fast we did not imagine it we we could not think of we can't think of how it happened but god helped us and he said he sold a seat online in carnonia and i should come back to give this testimony that god has done it for him i say his name alone be glorified in jesus name hallelujah apostle has declared over this house that every covenant with death is broken and reversed and that is our portion in the name of jesus christ the same shout the same rejoicing that you will express when your miracle comes i want you right now without restraint forgive that same shout come on colonial is that the best you can do for your maker can someone celebrate jesus inside and outside praise god listen one minute can you just buy your head and say lord we are grateful as a family of faith we are not ashamed to let the world know that you are the doer bless him take all the glory take all the honor nicodemus said to jesus for no man can do this except the lord be with him so which means there are things that men can achieve by their own power lord we thank you inside and answer just make sure you are blessing him i know you came with an expectation i know your heart is open but thank him just few minutes a lot we are grateful as a family of faith we thank you for the things you have done the battle you have won and the things you are doing in and out of through this ministry for the life of our father lord we

the protocol for spiritual growth for advancement was given by jesus himself and the bible says that he mentored and built a people over a span of three and a half years and he turned them into signs and wonders by the time we get to the book of acts the bible says these are they that turn the world upside down praise the name of the lord so i want you to know that every aspect of this service was designed intentionally to achieve something spiritual in our lives are we together now this is we are following an exact spiritual formula that if you will submit yourself to the foolishness of spiritual things you will marvel and you will wonder at what your life becomes these are not the opinions of men these are ancient principles that were followed by many and produce tremendous wonders

prayer and supplication this is what i began to see was like coal oil was being poured on the coal and it was catching fire this is what i was seeing in the spirit now i'm praying because there are individuals some of you are ministers some of you your prayer life has gone down this is koidonia i stretch my hands by the spirit of grace as many inside the balcony the overflows following from

tonight we're going to be brief in this place but i believe with my heart all my heart that the testimonies that will come out from tonight's meeting will truly bring glory to the name of jesus pastor israel i'm seeing oil being poured on your head in the name of jesus christ [Applause] i stretch my hands the grace for signs and wonders in the name of jesus may that grace come upon you may that grace come upon you let it distinguish your ministry in the name of jesus you will walk in tremendous dimensions of signs and wonders in the mighty name of jesus amen and amen malachi chapter 2 and verse 2 while seated i want us to take a minute or two to just thank the lord for his marvelous hand i cannot begin to tell you the great and awe-inspiring things that the lord continues to do in and through our lives across the nations of the earth please give us that scripture malachi chapter 2 and verse 2 if you will not here and you will not lay to heart to give glory unto my name sayeth the lord of hosts it says i will even send a curse upon you and i will cause your blessings yea i have caused them already because you will not lay to heart there is something about god's desire to be glorified that when we experience his his manifest presence his miracles his signs and his wonders we must be very intentional about giving him glory whilst you are seated in one minute can you say thank you jesus for that which you continue to do in my life for that which you continue to do in this ministry you have so lavishly honored this ministry within the time that we have been in this city you have shown yourself mighty and all across the globe salvations healings tremendous miracles transformation by the power of your world we lay too hard to give you praise this is the lord's doing cannot be the doing of a man and we thank you we thank you don't be tired thank him for the numerous promotions advances in the spirit [Music] equipping you with sufficient spiritual knowledge and understanding helping you to stand strong preservation we thank you we thank you we lay to heart to give you glory the name of jesus christ in the name of jesus christ in micah chapter 4 when you begin to read from verse 1 the bible speaking through prophet micah he said in the last days it shall come to pass that the mountain of the house of the lord shall be established in the top of the mountains and it shall be exalted above the hills and the bible says people or nations shall flow to it verse 2 is my point of interest it says many nations not a few many nations will come and say come let us go up to koinonia the mountain of the lord and to the house of the god of jacob the bible says he will teach us his ways so the end time manifestation of the house of god is a place of light a place of spiritual illumination please listen carefully you have to make a covenant with yourself and your destiny that you are going to submit to the word of god and place irreplaceable value on the word of god it says i commend you to god and then to the word of his grace which is able to build you up and then to give you an inheritance among them that are sanctified we must place premium on the word of god it is god's instrument for transformation it is god's instrument for signs and wonders habakkuk chapter 3 when you read from verse 3 and 4 verse 4 amplified says in that light is the hiding place of his power the power of god is hidden in his light john chapter 1 and verse 5 and the light shine it in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not paul was mentoring the church in colossae chapter 1 and verse 9 colossians 1 and verse 9 and he prayed bowing his knees to the father of our lord jesus christ that they be filled number one with the knowledge of his will number two that they be filled with all wisdom and then number three spiritual understanding there is no hope for the believer who does not contend for illumination illumination to the degree to which um you are able to drive away every darkness around your life you know when you get born again you are introduced to the ministry of the holy spirit the bible says and among the many things that the holy spirit does is to guide you into all truth are we together now and when he the spirit of truth is come the bible says he will guide you he will guide you he will reveal to you the precepts the ways of god so every time we tabernacle week after week this is not just a convergence of christians honoring a spiritual activities more than that every opportunity that we have to be exposed to his power his grace our hearts must be intentional because it is the entrance of his word that gives light and then the bible declares that it gives understanding onto the symbol your stamina and your dominion in this kingdom is predicated upon spiritual illumination light isaiah 33 says wisdom and knowledge shall be the stability of your time you have to know the ways of god the ways of god define the modus operandi of the kingdom god has a method god has how he lived god has how he restores god has how he blesses god has how he keeps the saints in victory says now things be unto god which causes of all ways to triumph so our assignment as ministers of the gospel is to expose the body of christ and those who have been given [Music] and are planted under our spiritual um jurisdiction to provide the requisite level of spiritual intelligence the requisite level of knowledge that number one helps you to know the lord and then number two equips you with the keys it takes to walk in victory experientially are we together that means that after a while of exposing yourself to the truth of god's word you must come to a point where you are strengthened you are equipped equipped ephesians chapter 4 when you read from verse 9 down to 11. the bible says it's for this reason that he gave unto some apostles and prophets and evangelists pastors and teachers why for the equipping some versions say equipping others say maturing perfecting of the saints we have all kinds of professionals in our midst we have doctors we have business people we have politicians and so on and so forth you are not equipped by just giving every and any tool you are equipped by giving the tools that you will need to excel imagine with me for instance that a farmer goes to the farm and the equipment that you give him is a syringe is an injection are we together now a bandage those are useful equipment but not for farming so the bible says in colossians chapter 3 from verse 16 it says let the word of christ dwell in you richly then it says in all wisdom the word of christ can dwell in you richly but not in wisdom the wisdom part is that you are equipped methodically you are equipped in a way and manner that supplies the spiritual arsenals um such that you not only have this truth but you know how to use them if and when occasions demand are we together the end of knowledge is to be able to solve problems to provide solutions with the information that you have any information that is not able to solve your problem is almost useless are we together so this is not an advocacy just to communicate random truth there is an intentional project to equip you with the requisite body of knowledge listen carefully please listen carefully when it has to do with the knowledge of god exploring the person of god it will take eternity we will never exhaust him even in heaven there is room to come up either we will continue to know him as his glory unfolds but as far as our excelling in this kingdom is concerned please listen there is a finite body of spiritual information that we need you can handle the truth that makes for your victory here and now the narrative that the truth we need to excel in life are so many and infinite it's not an accurate narrative you can understand the principles that make for speed for restoration for favor for increase just like a student continues to learn even after graduation but there is an exact body of truth that is responsible for awarding him a degree in the field and he can exhaust it and hold the decree as a testament that i've faithfully exhausted this body of light so our advocacy is to bring us to a point of accuracy spiritually that you know what keys are responsible for what outcomes this is the whole idea of victory you know i said it at the first service the inaugural service that many believers have truth it's like a house how many of you know that a house has many rooms and not all keys open every door is that true if you are in that house and the only door that is opened is the door to your living room if what you need to do is just to relax that's fine but if you need to use the restroom and you do not have the key that opens the restroom you are in trouble if you need to go to the kitchen and you do not have the key that opens the kitchen you are in the house but you will still be frustrated so the bible says and i will give you the keys of the kingdom these keys control favor they control speed they control your prayer life week after week god begins to hand this keys to us so after a while of immersing yourself in this truth you stand surrounded by mysteries like chariots and you can take on life with confidence you are not shadow boxing you are not hoping listen the laws of the kingdom are so powerful they are protected by god's own jealousy are we together the bible says how shall they hear without a preacher and how shall the preacher go except he be sent except he beset so please do not take likely and do not take casual every opportunity you have to learn the ways of god god is taken away from our lives the religiosity around information that cannot produce results i know something about prayer i know something about fasting i know something about night vigil i know something about communion i know something about the name of jesus and we have little little um dimensions of scattered spiritual truth that are not synergized to produce victory in our lives so our christian experience becomes one that is full of fear because we do not know the the arsenals that were designed to command what level of victory there is a random pursuit listen the faith life can be an interesting adventure when you are equipped with knowledge you are no longer ignorant you know you know what it takes to bring favor you know what it takes to open closed doors the goal is never for a man of god to stand and become king of kings and lord of lords over your life the goal is that by the election of grace you are immersed under this atmosphere of knowledge and that you are equipped to the point where you now become a savior yourself on the strength of the truth that you know and you have result after result it now begins to strengthen your confidence you get to a point where you are no longer doubting you are not hoping does this work does this not work you know he said i know whom i have believed and i am persuaded hallelujah are you blessed the saints are built in this kingdom through the communication of the world more specifically the exegesis of doctrine doctrine is the name given to the course content the course curriculum that builds the believer to a point of stature and maturity in the spirit so more than the miracles and the manifestations in as much as those things are very important but we must submit ourselves to the methodical approach of spiritual growth where we not only know the lord but we understand his ways they are called the mysteries of the kingdom jesus said i am the way i'm not only a person i am god's authorized method you can study jesus the way as the pathway to victory please run away from that christian narrative that continues to endorse and justify failure in your life provided you are knowing the lord it downplays the place of excelling in life and makes it look like there is no need you believe that narrative no matter how well intentioned you will use your lifetime paying the price for it i have come he said john chapter 10 and verse 10 it says the thief comment not but for to steal to kill and to destroy then he says i am come that he may have life that is the level then it says and then to have it more abundantly so there is life and there is abundant life life the peace that you have with god based on the impartation of eternal life more abundant life is eternal life in your spirit alongside a victorious life on earth that is abundant life i made up my mind years ago that i will never lead a people who excel in their spirit work prayer fellowship with god and then become failures in life and their lives become a reproach to the victory that was won when jesus said it is finished he did not only mean the sin problem was finished he also meant dominion had been restored are we together now you have to believe the whole council of god many times some of these erroneous doctrines come out of a combination of pride and frustration pride because we do not open ourselves to learn more frustration because we exhaust the body of knowledge we know and so we are not able to command other levels of results in frustration we now build this theology around our failure to explain away the possibility of complete victory a believer can have complete victory you can love the lord and grow in passion while your finances also grow while your influence grows while you enjoy longevity and have peace with your children this is abundant life are we together if it is true that the gospel and the kingdom life was designed to be useful to everyone then it means it must capture within itself the ability to solve every problem we find on earth i believe in the whole council of god and by the grace of god i will not fail to bring to us spiritual truth after spiritual truth my assignment is to labor with the spirit and in partnership with other vessels across the body of christ to sieve and piece together the walking knowledge of the world the spiritual principles that are assigned knowledge of god in experience and then for our excelling in life and to save it so passionately and diligently to whoever is interested that if and when you embrace this truth and you believe them and apply them you know many times we say one word from the lord can change your life that's not exactly true one word from the lord that is accurately taught understood and engaged with understanding that is the word that produces you read your bible the bible says that the sower came and saw the word satan himself came and uprooted the seat satan is not afraid of the word he is afraid of the union of the word with the believer who understands it remember that his assignment his office in heaven was the light bearer he was a custodian of the mysteries of the kingdom he's not afraid of the word what satan is afraid of is your understanding the word and you're engaging it because the power of god is released at the instance of your understanding and applying not just receiving are we together praise the name of the lord so let me just use a few minutes to touch on a topic that i believe would help to accelerate our growth psalm 65 verse 2 the mystery of prevailing prayer the mystery of prevailing prayer i want to teach you something about prayer to add to your spiritual arsenals that will command victory after victory in your life the bible says all doubt that here here's prayer this immediately tells you not everybody can hear prayer oh doubt that here is prayer it says unto thee shall all flesh come this statement is both an acknowledgement and a recommendation the writer is recommending that among the many people who claim to be able to hear and answer prayer through my research i have found out that there is only a single individual who sustains the ability to hear prayer and my recommendation is all flesh if you really need your prayer answered there is one who hears prayer he says unto thee shall all flesh come the subject of prayer is a very interesting one because every religion regardless what they believe they believe in prayer as the medium of communicating with the divine almost every religion believe that there is a reality beyond the three-dimensional realm they have all kinds of propositions that have been strengthened by their experiences but all together they believe that there is some force or some deity above and beyond the realm of science that can come into partnership with men here and now and produce dimensions of victory that is not given to ordinary men so the subject of prayer is not new across religions across all kinds of faith practices but then the challenge many times has been that believers become frustrated because after dissipating hours and energy in what we know and call to be prayer it looks to me and to many of us in our experience that the amount of energy even physical and emotional energy that is being exerted into this activity we call prayer doesn't seem commensurate to the results that follow are we in agreement so week in week out we have the house of god across this city across this nation filled with professing believers who are praying in some way many adding with fastings but when you compare the level of energy the level of zest and zeal and emotional strain that we go through in that activity we call prayer fast is the result that comes from it it doesn't seem to add up and yet the bible tells us that god is love the bible tells us god is upper that he is more willing if he did not spare his son jesus he's more willing to give us all things are we together luke chapter 11 the disciples began to study the life and the ministry of jesus now until jesus came john the prophet who we call the baptist had his disciples some of them later became the disciples of jesus theologically speaking and they saw him pray they saw him do a lot of things and um ketoship sessions and here's what he said he said when a spirit leaves a man jesus is teaching now when a spirit leaves a man that that spirit goes through dry regions looking for a place of refuge why is that so there's no time to explain it to you you see god spirit beings have spirit bodies there is something called the law of territory you are only at ease in a territory when you are made up of the same material with that territory are we together now that means if you are in heaven you will never be at peace until you are made with the material of that atmosphere are we together now this disembodied spirit you see when they left their original estate you know what that means because angels and these spirit beings can translate into different states not just like men that were here always human now to perform certain assignments they would have to translate downgrade themselves to certain levels they did that in rebellion and when they tried to return back to their original estate they were hijacked so till today all these embodied spirits are in a state of restlessness because they are not in heaven and they are roaming around the earth and in the head they are violating a law of territory because they do not have a material body for their spirits to find rest are you understanding it now so constantly these embodied spirits are illustrated loitering across the length and the breath of the earth and the way god created the human body is that there is a possibility of multiple spirits coexisting in the same body it is not only one spirit that can coexist one man had a legion you remember in the bible that's to tell you how scarce accommodation is for these demons that a legion can make do with one body to find rest so don't play games with your body that's to tell you bodies are serious real estate issues in the realm of the spirit oh yes [Applause] when demons see bodies that are available they don't play games with it now a body has now prepared for me so when these spirits find expression in a body they find some level of rest they can occupy animals like they enter the swine is that true but the most comfortable body is the human body why because humans are the zenith of god's creation and their level of complexity can allow the demons to find expression the presence of will emotion and intellect can allow them to find expression they may not have that level of liberty with animals so there is a constant search for bodies but here's where i'm going the bible says when a demon leaves a human body it gets back into that state of restlessness are we together it goes around dry regions i'm not finding a place here's what the demons who say like the prodigal son the demon will say i will arise and go back and go back to my house the demon is still calling the place he left my house that means in his mind there is still a possibility of returning and then the bible says when it comes it will find that body swept he will find that body clean but it finds it empty and the demon is kind enough to invite other demons higher than itself to build fortification to return to that individual so that the latter part of that individual is worse than the beginning hearing lies the mystery behind people who get free momentarily and then it looks like their situation multiplied because they did not know what to do with the house of god my house shall be called the house of prayer there are six reasons i've written here why all believers must pray there are six reasons i've written here we'll take that for tonight and pray if you do not understand do you know do you know please look up do you know the average believer prays largely to ease the guilt of looking like an unserious christian they are not really interested in the results subconsciously there seems to if you are a believer and you are living among other believers you know prayer has a way of intimidating you someone is praying seriously and that prayer is judging your own seriousness you keep looking at yourself and in response to that sense of judgment you find a way of conforming to that religious activity as an act of appeaser you are not interested in the results the reason is because most of our prayer is not motivated by understanding we have not been taught what prayer does and so we just do it because jesus did it we just do it because it makes us feel spiritual but let me show you six biblical reasons why believers must pray ready number one the first reason and those of you who are following from your homes from every nation please do well to write it down so that you can teach others too we need to mature the body by helping them understand what prayer does the first reason why we pray is that god commanded that we pray it is a command two scriptures luke chapter 18 and verse one popular scripture i use it a lot when teaching especially around the subject of prayer this was a parable now in his earth work jesus used a lot of parables why because his listeners were not spiritual people they were not regenerated their organs of interacting with the realm of the spirit had not been developed through the ministry of the word and prayer so he had to employ parables to help them explain how the kingdom works and he spoke a parable to this end the morale of the parable is that men everybody say men men here doesn't just mean the male gender men humans that humans ought always to pray and not to faint so it's a command the whole idea of the story is to bring us to a point where we understand the power and the excellency of prayer the bible says there was a city verse 2 luke 18 and verse 2 there was a city in a city a george may you never meet this kind of judge in your life in jesus name my apologies to those who are those of us who are judges and magistrates i'm your friend there was in a city a judge look at the description of this kind of man the bible says which feared not god that means it's difficult for god to speak to him number two he neither regarded man you couldn't bribe him you couldn't come and beg what sort of a man is this so this is scene one and then scene two the bible says there was a widow a widow is it supposedly a defenseless her source of security and defense has been taken away from her he's teaching you the power of prayer and then the bible says she came to him that man avenged me of my adversary verse 4. the bible says he would not for a while but afterwards he said within himself my god that means there's something prayer does even to the most hardened situation if you pray with time there is an energy that prayer exacts that begins to change even the most impossible situations it says though i fear not god so the man is aware he's aware of his condition it's not just that the writer is telling lies the man is aware he's testifying here now that even though i do not hear god nor regard man verse 5 it says yet because this widow trouble let me so there is something that prayer does to situations and circumstances i will avenge her less by her importunity or the bible says her continual coming she weary or weakened me this is an illustration to show you what prayer does in the realm of the spirit that no matter how weak and defenseless you are if you can engage prayer consistently that it can do something in the face of situations and circumstances prayer is a command once you are a man if you are an angel and you are a spirit you don't need to pray but provided you are wearing this material body the bible mandates that we pray first thessalonians 5 and verse 17 second scripture for that point let's hurry up first thessalonians 5 and verse 17 apostle paul is speaking to the church in thessalonica and he says pray without season the word pray without ceasing does not mean pray from morning till night every day you do that you'll become an irresponsible man you will not be able to fulfill other things the idea here is be consistent the power of prayer is not just in the activity but the consistency pray without season number two why should we pray according to first corinthians chapter 14 and verse 2 the bible recommends prayer as one of the strategies for fellowship with god and fellowship with heaven the bible says in this case speaking about praying in an unknown tongue he says for he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto man but unto god now there's no time to contrast this with what the bible calls diverse kinds of tongues they are two different experiences when we come to the series on the holy spirit then we touch the gifts of the spirit then i will teach you this the bible um creates a dichotomy between what it calls that the gift of diverse kinds of tongues and the prayer language that was given to all believers this has been an age long controversy in the body of christ as to whether it is all men that pray in tongues like all the other nine gifts the gift of diverse kinds of tongues is not given to everyone but the prayer language it says for this promise is unto you and to your children and to your children's children as many as are far off even as many as the lord will call when you read all through the books of acts every time the holy ghost came it came on all of them no reservation they were all filled with holy spirit they began to speak whether it's acts chapter 2 whether it's acts chapter 6 to 8 whether it's acts chapter 19 the most classic sign or the most classic defense of the baptism of the holy spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues is found in acts chapter 19. maybe we just look at that very quickly just to clear the air on that verse one the bible says paul haven't passed through the upper coast the bible says that um he came to ephesus and then he found certain disciples follow the discourse verse 2 he said unto them have you received the holy ghost since you believed and they said unto him we have not so much heard whether there be any holy ghost they were disciples so you see there was something about their teacher their teacher was not teaching them something they said in our lecture we've not received this we don't even know that there's anything called the holy spirit surprise now he said unto what then were you baptized and they said unto john's baptism now the lecture begins verse 4 he said john's baptism verily verily john baptized with the baptism of repentance saying to the people that they should believe on him who should come after him that is on christ verse 5. when they heard this they were baptized in the name of the lord jesus the miracle now and when paul had laid his hands on them the holy ghost came on them and they spoke with tongues and prophesied the bible tells us their number seven the bible says and all the men were about 12 and they all received so i just thought to bring this in we have a separate series where we deal with that praise the name of the lord but just for you to know that when we talk about the prayer language of tongues we're not talking about the gift of the diverse kinds of tongues are we together fellowship with god when you begin to pray in the spirit it brings fellowship in fact the bible says the grace of our lord jesus christ the love of god he says the fellowship that's where we get the word koinonia the sharing together the participation of the spirit he says let it abide with you let it remain with you let it be with you when you fellowship with god with god you fellowship with the spirit there is a divine deposit that comes from god into you a transmission of power wisdom grace every spiritual virtue that makes for your excelling fellowship is very important are we together it is one of the tools for fellowship number three why does the bible mandate that we pray prayer is one of the authorized platforms for growth and for transformation prayer is one of the authorized platforms for growth and transformation first corinthians 14 and verse four just two verses after what we just where we just read first corinthians 14 and verse four the bible says he that speaketh in an unknown tongue and defy it and defy it the word a defy is an architectural term you build yourself you build capacity in the spirit remember the bible says if you turn aside in the day of battle it is that your strength capacity is small so you build capacity in the spirit when you pray he that prays and defies himself luke chapter 9 luke chapter 9 probably one of the most classic representations of the transforming power of prayer luke chapter 9 verse 28 and 29 luke chapter 9 the bible says and it came to pass about an eight days after these sayings he took peter john and james and went up to the mountain to pray verse 29 the bible says and as he prayed watch transformation two things happen one the fashion of his countenance was altered and his raymond became white and glissary there is a dimension of beauty and glory you evolve it's like it's like a transformation into superior dimensions of yourself when you pray i am telling you this works you can pray your way to higher dimensions of yourself growth and transformation bring for me a weak believer timid completely ignorant but with the heart that is bent on prayer i show you a sign and a wonder just a few months and a few years later let one day become one week become one month become one year become three years become five years and i show you a sign and a wonder was it not paul himself that says i thank my god i pray in tongues more than ye all are we together i hope god is blessing us say amen it's very important that we pray growth and transformation is impossible for a believer if you do not pray now you see for many believers prayer is simply a tool for petitions and for receiving not transformation the primary assignment of prayer i'll be teaching as as we proceed in the series the primary assignment of prayer believe me is not for breakthroughs for miracles etc no most of the breakthroughs that we need we even meet them in the first place because of ignorance of the principles of the kingdom remember the bible says when you are praying pray that your kingdom come because when his kingdom comes there are many things you would not need to ask for again because of the presence of the kingdom most of the miracles that we seek today are acts of god's mercy correcting our ignorance so if you understand the kingdom and the ways of god your prayers will largely be that of fellowship and growth not just petitions because the accuracy of your understanding will bring triumph after triumph result after result in your life is that true god's desire is not for us to live in the realm of what we know to be miracles signs and wonders they are supposed to be a thing of wonder to unbelievers largely but we who are in the kingdom miracles help to escort us to the place where we get to maturity and accuracy in the spirit now we begin to live by the mysteries of the kingdom growth and transformation show me a believer who engages in prayer for many of us our prayer is not systemic it's not methodical is half hazard if you are fortunate to wake up early in the morning good for god and good for you that day you can at least steal out 30 minutes quickly and feel spiritual and then backslide in a very very bad way until after one month or when situations wake you up then you quickly catch up you ask for forgiveness you repent and then you start again do you know that even in the secular mastery is gained through consistency as anybody who leads his field in the secular you do not become a professional in anything by just freelancing and shadow boxing and getting your way you have to invest your time your energy your resources in ever increasing dimensions to attain mastery consistency growth and transformation you must get to a point where you see the relevance of prayer you discipline yourself you get up in the morning this is the day the lord has made you're praying sheila kapoor you understand edification you begin to deposit prayer i'll be teaching us as the series proceed that prayer is one of the mysteries that is not bound by time that means you can send it to your tomorrow to wait for you prayer is powerful yes sir your prayer can be like an usher like a protocol you send it into your tomorrow to verify that the road is clear before you arrive if for any reason it goes there and find demons attempting to go ahead you know what the woman's prayer did to that church that's exactly what will be happening while you come triumphantly it's dangerous to step into a realm that prayer did not usher you into it's risky because the whole world lies in wickedness are we together let's hurry up we have to pray jude 1 jude has only 1 chapter verse 20 the bible again talks about prayer it says but you beloved building up yourselves on your most holy faith prayed in the holy ghost so prayer builds up there are many ways that prayer builds up it builds up by activating your organs of interaction with the realm of the spirit so when you begin to pray what happens to you is that your discernment and is activated you can know then you come into dimensions where people like papa hagin now begin to talk about the knowing of the spirit where you can know things even though your eyes may not see angels but you can know they are here and at first when you start in the school of prayer it will look like you are lying but the accuracy and the predictability of your results will convince you eventually that that faculty of perception is not a lie you will know you will perceive danger prayer is powerful it brings you to a point where you are able to interact that duality of realms you are human yet you are spiritual you can be in a place and yet perceive spiritual realities number four the fourth reason why we pray in this kingdom is as an instrument for warfare and intercession yes sir warfare and intercession ladies and gentlemen demons are real spirits are real wickedness is real the devil is as determined as ever to see that he thwarts the purposes of god over our lives and all that concerns us meaning if you fold your hands and let him be he will shred your life and destroy your family and everything that pertains unto you but there is a provision in our dealing with god where believers can take advantage of the forces of the spirit that we're all brought as a result of the finished work of christ and through this mystery we call warfare and intercession we can engage and establish these realities in our lives here and now warfare and intercession is very powerful james chapter 5 and verse 13 apostle james now is teaching us james 5 and verse 13. the bible says is any among you afflicted profited is any among you in a situation that is unpleasant is many among you seeing the handwriting of satan over your children your life your career your business don't explain it away using science or sociology it says the moment you find affliction the solution is let him pray we do every other thing but prayer we discuss with people who do not have the maturity not the might to help us out of that situation and yet we do not pray is any among you afflicted he says let him pray for time sake we may not read on but when you read down to 18 it uses elijah it personifies an individual called elijah that he was a man of like passions but he took the tool of prayer and literally stopped reign physically not a parable over a territory let me tell you this elijah was not the only one who believed in the god of the bible and i'm sure there were people who said god don't mind him we command reign to come and yet reign did not come because a man had authority to prayer and god respected his authority regardless what you were saying that day you will keep talking if elijah did not speak reign would not come may god give us that kind of authority that you can stand and speak over your family and say this year you all rise and go to bed it doesn't matter who is talking after you he spoke too late you have declared let all the enchantments and all the divination speak not the one that you pray and then you go online and say what are they saying now no elijah's authority when he declared it he said i know god he went to bed there were other prophets under the custody of obadiah i'm sure someone would have been annoyed and say what an arrogant man god bring him to show this man he's not the only one and god said no he doesn't work like that when you accept in this spirit and you have authority you will do wonders with it he prayed for a space of three and a half years there was no rain and then to show you it was not luck he went again and did the same thing i really came hallelujah warfare and intercession it was on the strength of prayer in acts chapter 12 when you read from verse 1 to 17 the bible says peter was bound hand and feet in chains they were preparing to kill him but the bible says verse 5 that peter was kept in prison but prayer was made without season that's paul's encouragement now of the church unto god for him believe me when i tell you prayer is powerful they began to engage the realm of the spirit suddenly the bible tells us that an angel came the angel was always available peter would have died without that angel coming and yet the angel was available somewhere in this series we'll talk about the ministry of angels because most believers do not know anything about the ministry of angels the bible says their assignment is to walk in partnership with the holy spirit to see that the word of god is never called a lie in your life that's the assignment of angels they are enforcers that means when there is nothing happening from your end they keep loitering around did you know that one of the ways that satan knows god is doing something with you is through the activity of angels in the realm of the spirit a prayerless believer does not have angelic activities what are they doing when satan begins to sense on usual angelic activities he was once there so he knows these angels don't come for nothing they are coming in response when jacob slept in chapter 28 of genesis when he slept the bible lets us know that he saw a ladder connecting to the heavens and angels were ascending and descending the bible never said they were coming to him he only saw them walking they were going to those who were calling their ministry that was why he said the lord was here these angels were passing me and they didn't do anything to me there's no record of any angel bringing anything to him yet they were ascending and descending angels can be in your compound they can be your vicinity they can be in your office ascending and descending bringing testimonies for those who are praying do not make the mistake of jacob jacob said the lord was in this place i had a chance for my lifting i had a chance for my rising body but according to the law of the will it will be scripturally incorrect for the angels to come and do anything you did not ask them to do i want to show you why many of you can have dreams and see a lot of angelic activities and yet nothing ever happens angels don't come because you are a christian they come because there is a demand [Music] jesus kept speaking he sent prayer to his future after three days i will rise it was not an information after three days i will rise when it was the third day god said you had the prayer an angel came rolled the stone and sat on it let me tell you if jesus kept quiet and never said anything he would have been surprised what will happen after three days the body would not decay but you will not come out either let the redeemed of the lord say so [Music] believe what i'm teaching you is why many people do not rise they come under strong influence of angelic activities but they are silent do you not know that this is how the spirit of depression works the assignment of the spirit of depression is to use obstacles to reduce you to a point of silence balaam caused these people and balaam said i tried but there is the shout of the king in the midst of them [Music] these are the mysteries that give us power and dominion in this kingdom when you pray there are tones of warfare you don't fight you only activate the laws that make warfare to be a reality so what we call warfare is not you fighting what we call warfare is you authorizing the host of heaven angel armies my brothers and my sisters you do not one angel two angels use hailstone is it in your bible when an angel stones you will you be alive look at the bible these things were not parables they actually the angel appeared and told joshua joshua removed his sword do you know why he removed his sword because god gave him a word no man will be able to stand against you so when the angel came he said who are you and the angel had to answer because the word of god wasn't on him if that angel kept quiet he would have been surprised it was not the knife joshua said god told me something who are you and the angel had to say no no hold on [Applause] it is true believe what i'm telling you don't play with what god has told you you can take it to battle oh he told me that in 2021 i am victorious oh yes i believe it this is not some pentecostal dragon it is true please sit down [Music] what then is the basis of our confidence if this is not true before satan attacks you let me tell you what happens satan is every other thing but a fool before he attacks you he will restart what you know and what you don't know he will bring it together and build the strategy to attack you he does not attack randomly satan examines what do you know about prayer what do you know about agreement what do you know about prophetic connection oh he doesn't know so much here what do you know about giving so he brings it what strategy can we develop what are the loopholes in his spiritual life that becomes the basis for the strategy is why satan is almost accurate when he strikes because he does not shadow box he uses your knowledge and your ignorance puts them together and build the strategy for your attack if you are satan will you like me [Applause] verse five oh and number five number five we have to finish harucia tapacatusa luke chapter 22 from the starting why does the bible mandate that we pray prayer is now the platform to make our requests our requests our petitions known oh no let's i made a mistake that's that's point six let's go to five it's a strategy to keep your faith alive the fifth point please correct it prayer is a strategy for living faith when you want your faith to be alive and living look 22 two verses quickly verse 30 and 32 prop luke 22 from verse 30 to 32 that he may eat and drink at my table in the kingdom and sit on thrones judging the 12 tribes of israel 31 and the lord said now watch this remember the first time satan came to jesus after the temptation in matthew chapter 4 he came to him it is written it is written satan left for a season the next time he would come he did not come directly again he came to peter are we together now and he used peter's compassion to try to say something that would stop jesus from going to the cross and jesus discerning he said simon simon behold satan had desired to have you that he may sift you as wheat 32 what was the remedy but i have prayed for you that your faith fail not he says and when you are converted any time you see people doubting what god has said suddenly on sunday you will be leaving but on tuesdays like you're saying look this thing is like wisdom is profited to direct he said use this same formula to convert them tell them an attack is happening what suddenly happened that last week you are full of faith but right now it looks like you are just saying one day go better the wise saying that the devil uses to deceive us when your faith fails your convictions begin to dwindle the classic character of faith is found in romans chapter four when you read it uses abraham and sarah as a portrait that he wavered not at his faithful unbelief he counted god faithful when you pray the spirit it truly keeps your faith alive because how many of you have gone to a place of prayer you went doubting and you kept praying and suddenly it's like a generator all of a sudden courage you know that this is doable you even ask god forgive me for the kind of unbelief i used to come to pray now my heart is alive again and then number six and we'll wrap it up for tonight why does the bible mandate that we pray prayer is a platform to make requests and petitions are you saying that for most believers this is the only one we know requests and petitions and yet that is just number six mark 11 and verse 23 and 24 mark 11 23 24 jesus caused the fig tree the next day it was cost and the disciples were surprised and he used the opportunity to teach them something about faith very literally i say unto you whosoever shall say to this mountain be removed and cast into the sea shall not doubt in his heart but shall believe that those things which is saiyan shall come to pass the bible says he shall have whatsoever he saith the law is in verse 24 therefore i say unto you what things so ever ye desire it says when you pray believe that you receive them and you shall have them it is in the place of prayer we receive and you can never have what you have not received there are two different things receiving and having is different receiving is spiritual heaven is the manifestation if you have not received it in the realm of the spirit you will never have it physically and that happens in the place of prayer philippians chapter 4 and verse 6 a platform to table our requests and our petitions the bible says be careful king james says careful but it's not an accurate translation the real translation there the root word there is anxiety the answers it says for nothing right it says but in everything so there is nothing there is no aspect of your life but prayer cannot be involved it says be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving instruction let your request be made known don't ask you god knows it it says make your request known king james says make your request known and how do you know god has answered that prayer by seven hallelujah and the peace of god if you have truly made your request known you can know that your request has reached heaven because suddenly the peace of god in a way that surpasses all understanding will keep the word keep there is garrison it will build the defense around your heart so that all the troubles that come and make your faith to vacillate the peace of god like a strong wall [Music] hallelujah wednesday you sing that your song again just prepare a very beautiful powerful song praise the name of the lord as we prepare to wrap up final scripture for tonight james 4 from verse 2 and three james four the bible says in fact let's start from verse one to three james four it says from whence comet wars and fighting oh dear i wish i had time to walk this apostle james is a very intelligent apostle he's tracing the root of many people's problems he's saying from whence comes wars and fighting among you do they not come because of disappointed expectations there are secret desires that you have you want to rise you want to be successful you want to make progress you want your ministry to blossom you want business to move forward and it is human it says that the lost that war in your members verse two it says ye lost that means you have even an ungodly desire and affinity and you have not you even go to the extent of killing all desiring to have and you cannot obtain you'll cause quarrel and fight and war yet you have not and the simple reason not knowing that everyone can have a great destiny in christ have you seen what james is stressing now james is tracing for us the root of bitterness and hatred among family members maybe respectfully speaking among ministers in our society among politicians is saying if you know what prayer can do you will never envy anybody because everything you ever see there is a way of getting it too another person's testimony is not why you are suffering this is what james is trying to correct simply because you do not know how to ask look at the side effect of not being equipped with that level of knowledge and then verse 3 it says ye ask and you receive not because you ask a miss are you saying now so he's not talking about prayerlessness he's talking about inaccuracy in understanding how to ask and receive that he may consume it upon your lust petitions can be made listen god did not leave us in this kingdom defenseless this our world is a wicked world and if god were to leave us to ourselves defenseless we may not be able to rise only god knows the kind of attacks per day per season that come upon families that come upon men of god some of you are politicians if god opens your eyes to see the number of people who try to invoke spirits day and night that you go down there are families just because god is helping you you do not know how many people is fallacy to believe that everyone is clapping for you and yet the bible says cheer up find comfort you can still excel in this world because you are not alone heaven has a way of coming into partnership with you to make you invincible and to make your life a sign and a wonder that when all the stakes are down you are still standing in that family and they say by what means your grandfather could not stand and you tell them i learned that prayer is partnership with heaven i can draw strength i do not have i can draw wisdom i do not have let me wrap up tonight by teaching you something the highest proof of humility is prayer prayerlessness is not just sin it is pride when you do not pray it is proof that you are sufficient in yourself prayerlessness is a statement you are making to god that i have vetted you oh god and i have not found anything in you that i do not have i don't need you when we pray it is proof of humility it is an acknowledgement that we are limited in ourselves and we call for support and we call for help even the military when they go for war they have a system of asking for reinforcement when it looks like the battle is raging then they have a way of calling and the command releases more soldiers [Music] i have stood face to face with situations in my life that i knew that only prayer could come in many of you have stood face to face with situations legal situations political situations health situations when you stand before life's challenges and situations sometimes you may need to drop your internet sometimes you may need to drop studies and call with all humility even jesus at the height of his pain at the cross he did not keep quiet eloy eloy lamarck sabatoni father if you knocked on your face from me then i know that i am truly defenseless and the father turned it away because he was looking at man the lord is nigh them that call upon him listen to me you can use the instrument of prayer to bring god down to your life and he stands by you like a mighty terrible one you may be weak right now seated here listen to me some of you are in ministry and you are asking an apostle where will i get church land where will i even get the money for you some of you are fathers already plunging into depression because the pandemic brought so much debt you are in a situation when you go to pray you just sit down and cry i bring you words of comfort god is not evil to leave you alone it is our pride that keeps driving the help of god away from us my bible says i will lift up my eyes onto the heels then he asks a question he said from whence commit my help i don't know about you but my health my assistance i may look weak or warm jacob as weak as you are as defenseless as you are but let the jealousy of god be introduced to your life and you will watch your life rise in a way that will first surprise you the recipient of that kindness the hymn writer says how did he put it now he says oh what needless pain we bear he says all because we could not carry everything you know i thank god for the honor and the privilege that he's given me to work in miracle science and wonders and sometimes when i have the opportunity to minister to people i am almost tempted to ask them why did you allow it to get this long did you not know that god is that mighty do you not know that god is able to lift why did you allow the issue of your household to go so bad why did you allow your health to deteriorate why didn't you run to god the prodigal son kept being proud no i won't go to my father i don't want shame and the more he stayed there doing boldface the more he kept going down until he became like one of the pigs but one day he came to himself he said how many hired servants that's the voice of humility you know many times we want to take credit for everything in our lives joshua selman is a doer and god says in this kingdom owners are rebels if you can step back and say lord you made me further over this family but the bills are killing me i step back and i allow abba to take his ways this political office i am tired of the persecutions that come here and if i leave it to myself one day they will kill me for nothing someone can give you a cup of tea that is full of poison and i know you think you avoided but you your memory can fail you one day hunger and test will make you finish drinking it first but you can still find comfort it is not only when you avoid evil that you are free there are times that the fire has no power over you the three people boys men who the fire had no power it is not only avoidance that brings victory there are times you can walk through the fire isaiah 43 and verse 1 and 2 fear not he says i am with you i have redeemed you i have called you by name you are mine and then it says verse 2 when thou passes through water i will be with you and through the rivers they shall not overflowed you it says when thou walked on fire you shall not be burned neither shall the flame kindle upon you business people hear me i know that many of you here veterans of business i don't mean to insult your pedigree but you have done so much just with human connection why don't you resort with humility to invite divine assistance that in addition to this some of you are professionals in your place of work why don't you employ the hand of god i am very quick to step back and say
