00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:46,400 I woke up exactly at 12 midnight 44 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:49,400 and I had to study 45 00:03:49,400 --> 00:03:55,400 and I was studying on 2 Timothy chapter 3 46 00:03:55,400 --> 00:03:59,400 verse 16 47 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:05,400 All scripture is given by inspiration of God and it is profitable for doctrine 48 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:11,400 for reproof, for

Paul is unapologetically speaking to Timothy 54 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:51,400 about the authority of the Word of God 55 00:04:51,400 --> 00:05:01,400 to cause something in the heart of the one who gives his mind to it 56 00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:05,400 or one who gives his life to it 57 00:05:05,400 --> 00:05:08,400 Why would God tell Joshua 58 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:13,400 and I mean, once I was studying, I didn't cry but I nearly cried 59 00:05:13,400 --> 00:05:21,400 because the information that were coming to me were massive 60 00:05:21,400 --> 00:05:25,400 Why would God tell Joshua 61 00:05:25,400 --> 00:05:31,400 This Book of the Law shall not depart out of my mouth 62 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:36,400 Thou shalt meditate therein day and night 63 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:45,400 so that

00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:11,400 God didn't tell Joshua, I'm going to give you an angel that is going to walk with you 69 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:16,400 God didn't tell Joshua, alright you were a leader, I'm going to give you the angel of money 70 00:06:16,400 --> 00:06:20,400 or God didn't tell Joshua, I'm going to give you the angel of protection 71 00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:22,400 God says alright, you are now a leader 72 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:28,400 now you're born again, you are now a leader, you are zooming into your destiny 73 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,400 you want to lay hold on the purpose of God for your life 74 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:34,400 Alright, then God comes and says, I have one thing for you 75 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:39,400 that for you is called the Book of the Law 76 00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:46,400 and the Book of the Law, if you are able to meditate therein day and night 77 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:54,400 I can assure you that you will have your way prosperous 78 00:06:57,400 --> 00:07:00,400 Tonight I really didn't come to share a lot 79 00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,400 I've been thinking about it 80 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:10,400 For God to confidently tell a man, I'm leaving you to some piece of writings 81 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:15,400 and those piece of writing, next week the Lord charged me this night 82 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:19,400 that what I'm supposed to do next week, I should change it 83 00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:26,400 we should dedicate the rest of the month to teach on how to study and understand the Bible 84 00:07:26,400 --> 00:07:29,400 so from Sunday that's what I'm going to be talking to you about 85 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:31,400 Hallelujah 86 00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:42,400 How in the world is God or would God leave the whole life of a person 87 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:47,400 Why would God leave the whole life of a person 88 00:07:47,400 --> 00:07:54,400 to some pieces of writings 89 00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:57,400 I mean 90 00:07:57,400 --> 00:08:00,400 if you want somebody to be prosperous as a leader 91 00:08:00,400 --> 00:08:03,400 and you tell the person there are some seminaries here 92 00:08:03,400 -->

00:08:26,400 possess good success 98 00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:29,400 Now don't think about money, that's not what God was talking about 99 00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:32,400 He wasn't talking about businesses 100 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:42,400 What he was talking about is the ability to come to an expected end 101 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,400 Praise the name of the Lord 102 00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:50,400 What is going to, I mean, what God is telling Joshua 103 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,400 that I'm leaving you to the scriptures, I'm leaving you to the word 104 00:08:54,400 --> 00:09:01,400 and the word has the ability to bring you to the expected end 105 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,400 and that end, he said, I know the plans and thought I have for you 106 00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,400 I know that they are not plans and they are not thought of evil 107 00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:14,400 but of good to bring you to an expected end 108 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:18,400 It means that God has an expectation 109 00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:24,400 God has, he has the picture of our end in his mind 110 00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:29,400 God has carved brady estus 111 00:09:29,400 -->

00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:58,400 For you to be able to get there in a grand way 118 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:01,400 In a way you are not going to flop 119 00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,400 You know what? 120

your mouth 123 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:21,400 I can give your whole life to the scriptures 124 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,400 and I will go and sit down 125 00:10:23,400 --> 00:10:26,400 If you can meditate therein 126 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:30,400 If you can meditate therein day and night 127 00:10:30,400 --> 00:10:37,400 It will still be like myself leading your hands 128 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:42,400 That means if I am a Christian 129 00:10:42,400 --> 00:10:49,400 I should not tell God bring me to an expected end 130 00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:54,400 I should not tell God don't let me die on the way 131 00:10:54,400 --> 00:11:00,400 All that I have to do is to consistently, continuously 132 00:11:00,400 --> 00:11:08,400 Meditate in the works 133 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,400 Tonight is a prophetic night 134 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,400 Don't just write and catch nothing 135 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,400 The anointing took me 136 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,400 The moment you started 137 00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,400 I don't know if you wanted to sing or you couldn't sing 138 00:11:23,400 --> 00:11:25,400 There was some five minutes thing you were doing 139 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:26,400 No song was playing 140 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:33,400 I was standing there and that was where the whole thing caught on 141 00:11:33,400 --> 00:11:41,400 So if I can meditate in the world 142 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:50,400 I can be confident that I am having my way prosperous 143 00:11:50,400 --> 00:11:54,400 If I can meditate in the world day and night 144 00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:01,400 I can be confident that I am going to obtain good success 145 00:12:01,400 --> 00:12:04,400 Praise the name of the Lord 146 00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,400 See, he did not say thou shall have your end prosperous 147 00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:13,400 He said you have your way prosperous 148 00:12:13,400 --> 00:12:20,400 And you will obtain good success 149 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:29,400 So day by day as I make my way, as I journey my way through life 150 00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:37,400 If I can give my mind, I can meditate in the world day and night 151 00:12:37,400 --> 00:12:41,400 I will not be on my way as I am going and then I am truncated 152 00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,400 I will not be on my way and then say oh I am paralysed 153 00:12:45,400 --> 00:12:53,400 I will not be on, he says that my way will be prosperous 154 00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:59,400 These are brutal convictions 155 00:12:59,400 --> 00:13:03,400 That I have entrusted my life to God's word 156 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:05,400 My life 157 00:13:05,400 --> 00:13:09,400 I have entrusted my life to God's word 158 00:13:09,400 --> 00:13:12,400 And that's what it is 159 00:13:12,400 --> 00:13:17,400 Now I don't know about any other person, I know about me 160 00:13:17,400 --> 00:13:20,400 And he says I should do it day and night 161 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,400 God told Joshua something, he says that no man shall be able to stand before thee 162 00:13:24,400 --> 00:13:29,400 All the days of your life 163 00:13:29,400 --> 00:13:32,400 Maya 164 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:37,400 Now no man shall be able to stand before thee, he's not talking about you moving and somebody coming to stand 165 00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:44,400 There is no contention against your life that will succeed 166 00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,400 No contention whatsoever, no matter where it is coming from 167 00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,400 No contention 168 00:13:50,400 --> 00:13:52,400 No contention 169 00:13:52,400 --> 00:14:08,400 Listen, let's say this 170 00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:14,400 So, my way is prosperous 171 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:16,400 Why? 172 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:20,400 Because I meditate in the word day and night 173 00:14:20,400 --> 00:14:23,400 I practice the word day and night 174 00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:28,400 If I'm going to do that, I will have my way prosperous 175 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:34,400 And I am so sure that I obtain good success 176 00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,400 And I told you what it means to meditate 177 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:41,400 To roll the word 178 00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:43,400 To have the word 179 00:14:43,400 --> 00:14:47,400 So much 180 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:53,400 In you, you know, and when I was having that quiet time at dawn 181 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:59,400 I read again Colossians chapter 3 verse 16 182 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:05,400 And the Bible says let the words of Christ 183 00:15:05,400 --> 00:15:09,400 Dwell in you richly 184 00:15:09,400 --> 00:15:15,400 Now I'm asking myself, why all these instructions? 185 00:15:15,400 --> 00:15:19,400 The Lord says you are in a wicked world 186 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:23,400 You are in a wicked world 187 00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:27,400 You are in a world where all things are possible 188 00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:29,400 Praise the name of the Lord 189 00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:35,400 But nothing beats the word 190 00:15:35,400 --> 00:15:39,400 Nothing beats the word 191 00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:45,400 So let the words of Christ dwell in you richly 192 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:52,400 Not sabbily 193 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,400 It's not like you have the word of God today 194 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,400 He says let the word dwell 195 00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:05,400 It means let it dwell, let it settle to

00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,400 Genesis, Exodus, aha, aha 363 00:27:27,400 --> 00:27:30,400 Deuteronomy 364 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:32,400 So God is telling Joshua, listen 365 00:27:32,400 -->

things 394 00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:33,400 See, a gentleman came to me yesterday 395 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:37,400 He drove to my place yesterday and we're talking 396 00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:42,400 A very dear person, and the person, we're talking and 397 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,400 The person said somebody gave him a prophecy that the call of God is on his life 398 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,400 Now 399 00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,400 Another person gave the prophecy, the brother is a pastor 400 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,400 And I think the brother too has given that prophecy 401 00:29:54,400 --> 00:29:56,400 And so 402 00:29:56,400 --> 00:29:59,400 Then he was talking, then he said he will respond to the call but not now 403 00:29:59,400 --> 00:30:02,400 He's handling other things 404 00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:05,400 But not now because you see 405 00:30:05,400 --> 00:30:07,400 Responding to the call will require a lot of sacrifice 406 00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:09,400 You have to 407 00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:11,400 Like, you have to live a lot of things 408 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:14,400 And this young guy, who is doing well financially 409 00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:16,400 I mean, he was saying, we were just talking 410 00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:19,400 And so I had one land at this place and I have one land 411 00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:21,400 Oh, I was even building, story building 412 00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,400 This is like 26 years old, 27 413 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:25,400 I was building a story building and I have issues with the people 414 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,400 So we had a court at the moment and they said 415 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:34,400 Hey, I'm just a drafting a book, what am I doing? 416 00:30:34,400 --> 00:30:37,400 So now he's talking about the call, you know? 417 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:39,400 And responding to it 418 00:30:39,400 --> 00:30:41,400 Then I say, listen, now 419 00:30:41,400 --> 00:30:44,400 People have been brainwashed, people have been lied to about responding 420 00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:47,400 Responding to the call of God is very simple 421 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,400 Responding to the call of God, first of all 422 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:55,400 The first way to respond to the call of God is to build a life of devotion with God 423 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:58,400 It doesn't mean go and start a bridge 424 00:30:58,400 --> 00:31:01,400 It doesn't mean go and buy a megaphone and go and make noise 425 00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:04,400 It doesn't even mean go and start a cell 426 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,400 I talked to you about, I want to talk about studying the word 427 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,400 That, it does not mean that 428 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:15,400 The first thing it means is that you have to build a life of devotion with God 429 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:18,400 Daily, and I say it is simply called quiet time 430 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:21,400 Daily quiet time 431 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,400 Because you see, then I told him, listen 432 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:27,400 The call of God brings 433 00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,400 You would have to make a lot of sacrifices 434 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,400 Do you understand? 435 00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:37,400 But listen, then I said before God was able to tell Abraham 436 00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:39,400 Sacrifice Isaac 437 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,400 Abraham had built a lot of altars 438 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:48,400 And those altars represent devotion to God 439 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:55,400 So before the sacrifice, there must be a devotion 440 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:58,400 Oh come on, you know what I'm talking about 441 00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:01,400 There must be a life of devotion 442 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:05,400 So the first point of responding to the call is not going out 443 00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:09,400 The first point of responding to the call is not even with church 444 00:32:09,400 --> 00:32:19,400 The first point of responding to the call is to have a daily devotion with God 445 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:23,400 Then I said, start like reading the Bible every day 446 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,400 Building a practice of praying every day 447 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:33,400 15 minutes, 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 20 minutes, whatever it is 448 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:37,400 Staying with the word of God 10 minutes, 5 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes 449 00:32:37,400 --> 00:32:41,400 Every day without failing 450 00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:45,400 When you keep on doing that 451 00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:48,400 The word of God will come alive in you 452 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,400 When the word of God comes alive in you, you become spiritually sensitive 453 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:58,400 So God can easily deal with you 454 00:32:58,400 --> 00:32:59,400 Praise the name of the Lord 455 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:03,400 Because our young people, they just jump up and respond to the call of God 456 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,400 They have problems with pride 457 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,400 They have problems with laziness 458 00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:10,400 They have problems with inconsistency 459 00:33:10,400 --> 00:33:12,400 They don't even know the Bible 460 00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:13,400 They don't know the word of God 461 00:33:13,400 --> 00:33:16,400 They don't understand doctrine 462 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,400 They practically have no idea 463 00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,400 They just were praying 464 00:33:21,400 --> 00:33:23,400 And then they heard something 465 00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:24,400 Or they saw something 466 00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,400 Or somebody somewhere met them 467 00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:29,400 And the person gave them accurate prophecy 468 00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:30,400 That oh your name is this, that this 469 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,400 God has called you to go and start this 470 00:33:32,400 --> 00:33:34,400 I am telling you on authority 471 00:33:34,400 --> 00:33:38,400 And then they go and they start nonsense 472 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,400 Paul says that 473 00:33:39,400 --> 00:33:43,400 Paul says that when it please God to reveal his son in me 474 00:33:43,400 --> 00:33:45,400 Galatians 1, 15 and 16, that one 475 00:33:45,400 --> 00:33:49,400 He says that I conferred not again with flesh and blood 476 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:51,400 So when I got to know the call of God is on my life 477 00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:55,400 What happened was that 14 years I had to sit down 478 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,400 And pray for the call of God 479 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,400 And then 480 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:03,400 Praise the name of God 481 00:34:03,400 --> 00:34:05,400 So that is a life of devotion 482 00:34:05,400 --> 00:34:07,400 The Bible says he called the twelve 483 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,400 That they might be with him 484 00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,400 So that he will send them forth 485 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:15,400 So the first point of responding to the call 486 00:34:15,400 --> 00:34:17,400 Is a being with the Lord 487 00:34:17,400 --> 00:34:18,400 A life of devotion 488 00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:20,400 Before he sends you out 489 00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:23,400 Now so if you are here you know the call of God is on your life 490 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,400 You have been given the call of God, all you know 491 00:34:25,400 --> 00:34:27,400 I mean you know, you know if you are in this church 492 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:29,400 If I listen to it to be 493 00:34:29,400 --> 00:34:31,400 It means that the call of God is on your life 494 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:34,400 Don't even wait for God to call you, I have called you 495 00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:37,400 You know, the first point is that 496 00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,400 You are the life of devotion 497 00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:46,400 Read your Bible, pray every day if you want to grow 498 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:49,400 If you want to grow, if you want to grow 499 00:34:49,400 --> 00:34:51,400 Hallelujah, read your Bible 500 00:34:51,400 --> 00:34:57,400 Pray every day if you want to grow 501 00:34:57,400 --> 00:34:59,400 Hallelujah 502 00:34:59,400 --> 00:35:04,400 Because it is when you actually give your life to God's word 503 00:35:04,400 --> 00:35:07,400 That you will be able to have good success 504 00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:10,400 What did he say in, let's go to the book of Acts 505 00:35:10,400 --> 00:35:28,400 Acts chapter 20 and 32 506 00:35:28,400 --> 00:35:30,400 Now all of us are going to read that together 507 00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:37,400 Acts 20 and 32 508 00:35:37,400 --> 00:35:54,400 Alright, one, two, go everybody 509 00:35:54,400 --> 00:36:00,400 And now brethren I commend you to God and to the 510 00:36:00,400 --> 00:36:05,400 Word of his grace which is able 511 00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:09,400 So the word is able to build you 512 00:36:09,400 --> 00:36:13,400 Now why did God, why did Paul say that? 513 00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:15,400 Now let's go to some verses up 514 00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:23,400 And you understand it perfectly 515 00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:51,400 Verse 27 516 00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:54,400 Did you see that? 517 00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:59,400 Now Paul has spoke, I mean Paul had ministry with these people 518 00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:03,400 And he's built a very powerful church in Ephesus I believe 519 00:37:03,400 --> 00:37:05,400 And he was about to leave and he was telling them that 520 00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:07,400 You will never see my face again 521 00:37:07,400 --> 00:37:09,400 I'm never coming here again 522 00:37:09,400 --> 00:37:12,400 Because as I'm going, I'm going to die 523 00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:15,400 Now Paul is telling them, he's about to leave 524 00:37:15,400 --> 00:37:18,400 Paul actually calls the leaders to meet him somewhere 525 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,400 And he's giving them the final words 526 00:37:21,400 --> 00:37:25,400 Then Paul says that, I know 527 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:29,400 Look at that, 27, he says that 528 00:37:29,400 --> 00:37:33,400 That's 29, for I know this 529 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:42,400 That after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you 530 00:37:42,400 --> 00:37:44,400 So I know a lot of people are going to come 531 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,400 Some people are going to come in the form of preachers 532 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:49,400 But they are wolves 533 00:37:49,400 --> 00:37:52,400 They will not spare the flock, they will finish them 534 00:37:52,400 --> 00:37:56,400 They will destroy them 535 00:37:56,400 --> 00:37:58,400 Do you understand what he's talking about? 536 00:37:58,400 --> 00:37:59,400 Ok, verse 30 537 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:03,400 Also of your own self shall men arise 538 00:38:03,400 --> 00:38:12,400 Speaking perverse things to draw away disciples after them 539 00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:15,400 So he says they are not going to come from outside 540 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:18,400 Right inside the church 541 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:21,400 Some people will emerge 542 00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,400 And they will disagree with the doctrine of the church 543 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:28,400 Now watch out, we will get some 544 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:30,400 We will get some 545 00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:33,400 Then it's not a church 546 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:35,400 They will not 547 00:38:35,400 --> 00:38:36,400 So people are right 548 00:38:36,400 --> 00:38:42,400 And he says when they come, they will draw people to themselves 549 00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:43,400 Every day they will have problems 550 00:38:43,400 --> 00:38:45,400 They are trying to discuss 551 00:38:45,400 --> 00:38:48,400 The message, you know, Rana, I don't even know 552 00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:51,400 I don't know if daddy is not studying again 553 00:38:51,400 --> 00:38:53,400 I don't know, I don't know, I don't know 554 00:38:53,400 --> 00:39:01,400 You see, the rama is no more heavy 555 00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,400 As per, I started taking you 556 00:39:05,400 --> 00:39:10,400 I tell you, Charlie, I call for you 557 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:12,400 You see, how do you understand 558 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:15,400 Like the man of God's message today 559 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:19,400 You see, there are parts he didn't touch 560 00:39:19,400 --> 00:39:24,400 And as he was talking, the Lord was giving me the revelation 561 00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:26,400 You see, the Lord is taking me deeper 562 00:39:26,400 --> 00:39:28,400 You see, deeper than what the man of God was saying 563 00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:30,400 You see, the man of God said this 564 00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:38,400 But you see, going up higher 565 00:39:38,400 --> 00:39:42,400 You see, the man of God put it this way 566 00:39:42,400 --> 00:39:46,400 But you know, there's a better way to put it 567 00:39:46,400 --> 00:39:51,400 Paul spoke about them 568 00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:54,400 Paul spoke about them 569 00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:58,400 Now he says that they will draw people to their own selves 570 00:39:58,400 --> 00:40:03,400 Therefore, watch and remember that by the space of three years 571 00:40:03,400 --> 00:40:05,400 I have found the truth 572 00:40:05,400 --> 00:40:08,400 And remember that by the space of three years 573 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:14,400 I have ceased not to warn everyone with night and day, which he is 574 00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,400 And now, brethren, I commend you to God and to the word of his grace 575 00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:25,400 Which is able to build you up 576 00:40:25,400 --> 00:40:32,400 And to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified 577 00:40:32,400 --> 00:40:35,400 In the midst of all these issues 578 00:40:35,400 --> 00:40:41,400 Where you have people who will be coming, springing up from among you 579 00:40:41,400 --> 00:40:45,400 And you have people attacking the church and doctrines and what have you 580 00:40:45,400 --> 00:40:49,400 And all the scatays that are running around the world 581 00:40:49,400 --> 00:40:55,400 You, I give you to the word 582 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:56,400 He says, I give you to... 583 00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:59,400 Because I'm not there, I'm gone 584 00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,400 I cannot be here and always I'm defending the gospel 585 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:04,400 I'm

no better constructor than the word 609 00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:45,400 There's nothing in this word that can intrinsically change a man 610 00:42:45,400 --> 00:42:50,400 And put the life of the man on course than the word of God 611 00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:54,400 Brothers and sisters, make up your mind from this day 612 00:42:54,400 --> 00:42:59,400 That you will be a young man who is giving to the

00:43:56,400 --> 00:43:58,400 Are you understanding that? 634 00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:04,400 So if Joshua is going to be able to stand before any kind of army and wing 635 00:44:04,400 --> 00:44:09,400 God says it's just the scriptures 636 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,400 You don't get it 637 00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,400 Joshua is going to face different kinds of opposition 638 00:44:15,400 --> 00:44:18,400 If I had time I would explain that to you 639 00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:22,400 Would have used Joshua and his wars 640 00:44:22,400 --> 00:44:27,400 As a young man 641 00:44:27,400 --> 00:44:30,400 He is going to face all kinds of armies 642 00:44:30,400 --> 00:44:34,400 He is going to face all kinds of opposition in life 643 00:44:34,400 --> 00:44:35,400 As he leads 644
