In the morning I wake Waking up beginning
Nevermore a dream
But I-I...
The in the white and the mid-fire burns My heart is cultured to work
I have in me the burning fire Oh a sound of grace
I have in me the burning fire
Praise the Lord. For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are
sons of God. So there is such a thing as being led by the Holy Ghost.
Praise the name of the Lord. Being led by the Holy Ghost. When you become born
again, God gives you the Spirit of God. And one of the primary assignments of
the Spirit of God in the life of a Christian is for that Spirit of God to
lead the Christian. Praise the name of the Lord. Now when you don't have the
Spirit, it means you can't be led by the Spirit. But when you have the Spirit, you
can be led by the Spirit. How do you get... Okay, so Ephesians 1.13, when you
believe you're sealed with the Spirit. Hallelujah. So when you believe in Jesus,
you receive the Holy Spirit. So I have the Spirit of God. Now the Spirit of God
comes to live in your spirit. A lot of times people think, where is the
Holy Spirit? The Holy Spirit is in your spirit. Man is made up of three main
elements. The Spirit, uh-huh.
The Spirit, uh-huh. Uh-huh. So the Spirit, the soul and the body. Now the body is you,
your physical self. Now the one you see in the mirror and then you say, oh boy,
much fresh. That is your body. Now your soul refers to your cognitive self.
Hallelujah. It refers to your... The soul is made up of three elements. Your will,
emotions and intellect. Hallelujah. The soul talks about your personality. What
distinct you from others. Hallelujah. So there's nobody in this world that is
like me. Hallelujah. The person may look like me physically. The person may have
striking resemblance like myself. But then nobody is like me. In this world, I am, I
am me. There's nobody in this world that can ever be like me. Praise the name of
the Lord. The way I do things, the way you may even copy or whatever, but I am
distinct. In the same way you are also distinct. God is a master curator.
Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. There's nobody in this world that is
like you. There's nobody, there's nobody in this world that is like you. Hallelujah. Even if you are a
twin, your twin is not like you. Come on. So that, that your personality. So when we go out
and say we are going to win a soul. Alright. So it talks about we're going to win a
person. Then there is the spirit. The spirit, the spirit, your spirit is that
part of you that gives you a spirit self or a spirit consciousness. Hallelujah. It
is that part of you that can relate with God. It is that part of you that can
relate with the spirit. It is that part of you that can relate with the
spiritual. Hallelujah. Now when you are a man or I mean when you get born, the
world will train you. The kind of training you have will determine the
kind of life you will live. Alright. So if you are trained to be mindful of your
body, you will almost be ignorant of your
soul and spiritual self. Praise the name of the Lord. So people, people spend a lot
of money. I mean doing like post-saccions, you know, they want to look good. They are
pumping their breasts, they are pumping their buttocks, they are all kinds of
rubbish. Just so that their bodies will look attractive. Praise the name of the
Lord. These people are people who are body conscious. You understand? Yeah, they
can go through any kind of treatment to make sure their skin is well toned. So
when you see them, you feel like are these people human beings at all? Their skin looks
something. It looks so beautiful. These people have given attention to their
body. Hallelujah. And there are people who
deem their body, especially guys, they deem their body. You lift them and their
chest is looking like something. They are conscious. They get up early in the
morning, they are jogging, they jog in the evening, they jog in the afternoon, they go
to the gym. These people are body conscious. Hallelujah. Come on, praise the name of the
Lord. And then there are, there is the soulish people who are soulica. Now this
refers to people who engage themselves in mental activities. Hallelujah. Things
that will enhance their personality. Alright? So they talk about, they talk
about mental exercises. They talk about concentrations. Some people even talk
about meditations. Hallelujah. Talk about all kinds of things. And these are to
help you build a soullica system. You know why we go to school? We go to school
to build our soul, soulic or soulish self. Alright? So you learn, you get to
know how to do what and then by that you are able to carve a persona for
yourself. So this one says I want to be a doctor. This one says I want to be a lawyer. This one says I want to be this.
That becomes your personality by virtue of the things you've given your mind to.
Hallelujah. Come on, your mind. Say my mind. Come on, say my mind. So your mind, your
will, your intellect, your intelligence. Alright? And then your will. People go
through several teachings so that they can be strong willed. Alright? Your
emotions. There are people who are emotionally intelligent and emotionally
mature. Alright? They've invested so much in how to handle their emotions.
There are people, regardless how much you get them anoint, they will never spill
off. And there are some people, the least trigger you trigger them, everybody will
know. Praise the name of the Lord. Sometimes something will happen, the best
way to answer is to be silent. But some of us, we don't really know about that.
We want to hit it hard on. You know? All these things are a proof of what you are,
what you have invested yourself in. Hallelujah. I said hallelujah. So you
learn, you train your emotions, you train your mind, you train your intellect, you
train your will, and then you train your subconsciousness, your consciousness. All
these things are mental, solical activities. Hallelujah. Then your spirit
itself is your God self. In fact, it is your real self. Praise the name of the
Lord. It is that self that is able to make contact with the realm of the
spirit or anything spiritual. Hallelujah. Praise the name of the Lord. Say I'm
three in one. Come on, like you've been saying, I'm three in one. One more time,
say I'm three in one. Come on, say I'm three in one. I'm three in one. I'm three
in one. So God made you spirit, soul, and body. When a man dies, the spirit
leaves the body. Hallelujah. Now, what about the soul? When somebody gets born
again and he dies, the Bible says you receive a new body and a new soul.
So when somebody gets born again, his spirit gets born again. Not his soul, not
his body. All right? His body will be born again at the resurrection and his soul
will be born again at the resurrection. The Bible calls it the redemption of the
purchased possession. All right? So the redemption of the purchased possession.
Jesus Christ, when he died, and then you believe he saved your soul, your
spirit, he saved your spirit, your soul, and your body. But then the one that got
born again was your spirit. Hallelujah. That was your spirit. And then your soul
must be renewed. You must renew your mind. All right? And that will transform
your whole life. All together. Then the Bible talks about in 1 Corinthians
chapter 15, 49, 15, that was to somewhere 55, the Bible talks about when the
trumpets are sung at the rapture, our bodies will be changed. So it says
within a twinkle of an eye, our bodies will be changed. This body will not go to
heaven. All right? Because this body has death. So we'll be getting a new body. The
new body is a body that doesn't have death. It's not possible for the body to
die. It's not possible. Even if you inject it with poison, the poison will
be neutralized. See? And that body is called the resurrected body, typified by
the body of Christ. When Jesus Christ rose from the dead, the Bible says he ate, he
did everything. But he rose up with a resurrected body. And that is the body
that went to heaven. No mortal body can be in heaven. You see, every body in
heaven is called celestial body. It's heavenly body. All right? So the body
must meet a certain criteria to be able to be in heaven. All right? And that is
called the heavenly body. And there is no death in heaven. You can't be in heaven
and die. Death is only available on the earth. Death is not available in heaven
because when we talk about heaven, heaven simply is the presence of God. All
right? Heaven is the practical and tangible presence of God. See, you don't
think that there is a city somewhere in the sky that when you die then you are
going there. There's no city like that.
All right? There's no city like that. There's no city that when you die, you
get... then you go, then you see this is house. The Bible says in my father's
house there are many mansions. So you meet this house, then you meet this gold.
The Bible says the streets are filled with gold and all of that. No, no, no. All those
things are metaphoric statement. Hallelujah.
How many of us heard of the Garden of Eden? And you see, the Bible describes
the Garden of Eden as a place. All right? Like it was a real place so they
could see a tree, they could see this, they could see that. But how many of us know
it's not a place? The Garden of Eden is a realm. You see, man, as we're talking about
indicators, right? So when... when we say somebody has gone to heaven, what is heaven?
What is heaven? Heaven simply means the presence of God.
Hallelujah. The Bible says in Thessalonians, it says that,
and we'll be caught up. And we'll be caught up. And we will be with the Lord forever.
So heaven means being with the Lord forever. Right now we are not with the
Lord. Right now the Lord is in us. That's amazing. But we are talking about a
literal being with the Lord. So what is heaven? What is heaven? John says that
when we shall see, we shall be like him. So heaven is being like God. Hallelujah.
Don't think about you going to hang out... hang up somewhere in outer space and then
your legs, you are flying in the air. You are not a star. Hallelujah. That's how I
want to get to heaven. When we call for Jolof, Jolof will come.
Are we going to eat in heaven? It's highly possible. Yeah, it's highly possible because when
Jesus rose from the dead, he ate.
Yeah, but I don't know who's going to cook the food. Because there will be so many that I don't know.
Maybe God will give us kitchen and then everybody, your mother will call you and give you.
And you know what will get there? You will not say, oh this is
gifty. No, no, no. Nobody knows everybody. We all look like Jesus.
Hallelujah. Male and female only exist here on earth. Hallelujah. When we get to heaven,
you are nobody. You are just like Christ. Hallelujah. So where is heaven?
Where is heaven? Where is heaven? Heaven is up, right?
Heaven is a realm. You can be here and have an encounter with heaven.
Did you travel? You were here. So heaven is a realm. How many of us have had a vision before?
Okay, so we have our eyes. You are here. And then your eyes, this very eye that is seeing everything,
your eyes get opened. And then you are no more in the world.
Somebody, as I'm preaching, will know you see me here. But I can be having a vision
whilst I'm standing here and I'm not here. Praise the name of the Lord.
We are talking about floating the things of the spirit. So relax. Alright?
So you can have a vision and your body is here but you are not here.
How many of you have been captured in glory before?
I don't know if you understand that but you are not yourself.
You don't feel anything of the earth. You don't know anything of the earth.
And you feel like you are in a place so beautiful, so joyful, so exciting.
And this is beyond your emotions. It's not like you are there and somebody sent you some thousand Ghana and you are happy.
No. But you are captured. It happens to me when we have maybe long hours of worship and prayer.
I can be walking and man, I'm just gone. Hallelujah.
Come on, are you following that? So I'm saying that there is a part of you,
there is a spiritual part of every human being. Born again or not born again.
But when you get born again, you receive a new nature in your spirit. Life comes into your spirit.
The life of God comes into your spirit. So you are born again, spirit looks exactly like God.
I want to get that. And you see, the spirit and so the body are functionalities.
They must function in certain realms.
Now, by the body, you are able to relate to the things of the natural. Are you following that?
By your soul, you are able to relate to the things in the soul.
Then by your spirit, you are able to have relationship with the spirit.
So if a man lives his life and becomes spiritually ignorant,
the person will not be able to have intelligence on the things of the spirit.
So you meet somebody, the person says that there is no God. Why is that?
Why? Why? Why? Why is it there's no God? Because everything is all over.
Spiritual things does not make sense. You know, you see, the person was saying, how can you pray for somebody and the person gets healed?
How can you not administer drugs and the person walks?
How can you say by praying in a tongue that does not make sense, you are talking to God, where is God?
Now, somebody can ask me, where is God? You say there is God. Where is God?
Now, you're there, you say, oh, God is in heaven. Where is heaven? Have you been there before?
The person can ask you questions to the point that you become so foolish.
It does not mean the person is intelligent. The person is intelligent, so lecherous.
Let's read something. Let's go to 1 Corinthians. Are you following this thing at all?
1 Corinthians 14. But the natural man.
The word is sukekos. The word natural is sukekos. All right.
It talks about the life of the soul, the soul come out.
All right. So the natural man does not receive the things of the spirit of God.
Did you see that? So the man that is so leka does not receive the things of the spirit of God.
Why? Because they are come on, because they are. They are foolishness onto him.
So the things of God, the Bible makes a clear, clear distinction that the things of the spirit of God are foolish to the natural man.
So if you meet anybody, then the person says, how can you tell me that prayed in tongues? You are speaking to God.
It does not mean that you even if you don't have an answer, I'm giving you an answer today.
The moment the things of the spirit is not making sense to somebody, the person is a natural man.
Now we together, the person is a natural man. Now, the person wants the person, the person, the person gets the person gets appealed by the natural senses.
Now, if you if you had come to tell the person about medicine, the person will be OK.
You tell the person about psychology, the person will be OK. Tell the person about philosophy, the person will be OK.
But the moment you shift the whole thing to the spirit, the person says it doesn't make sense.
Now, so it means that the things of the spirit of God are reserved for a certain class of people.
So if you want to be if you want to have the knowledge of the things of the spirit,
it means that you must move from the realm of the natural to the realm of the spirit.
Hallelujah. That's very important. So it means that if a Christian becomes natural.
Now, I know the natural man is the man who is not born again. All right.
The kind of man is the one who is born again, but is flesh.
But if you if you educate your mind to be to be a natural man.
All right. You really get your spiritual self to the background.
You don't really pay attention to your spiritual self.
It means that the things of the spirit will not make sense to you, even if you're born again.
So the Christians, the people who are born again, they know more of medicine.
They know more of the things of the world that they know of the things of the spirit.
There are some Christians, they simply don't get it.
How you can say that you met somebody you mentioned the name of the person.
Like you just met somebody you don't know the person from anywhere that you mentioned the name of the person.
Some people within our telephone numbers, your date of birth, your mother's name, your father's name.
And if you leave them, they will go on and on and on and on and on.
And it's like, how? Like, how do you do this?
How can you call somebody by name and it's accurate?
How can you mention the date of birth or something and sometimes mention the name of the village?
And then like sometimes you go into that level. How did you do that?
It does not make sense. Like, how can you do that?
How can you do that when you shift from thinking as a natural man to start thinking like a man or the spirit?
Because these things don't make sense to the natural man.
It means that the more your mind is on natural things, the less things of the spirit will make sense to you.
Write that down. The more your mind is on the things of the natural, the less spiritual things will make sense to you.
You begin to think about your education, your career, all that your life is all about is a career, is education.
You want to get married and all of that things of the natural.
The moment you begin to become like that, the things of the spirit will not make sense to you.
They won't make sense to you. How illu. They will not make sense to you.
You think about somebody who says, I will not fall down today.
You know that he's standing like that. He doesn't even know what it means to fall down.
He thinks that all that there is about falling down is just somebody just falling down.
He doesn't know the things that go. So such a person laying on of hands does not mean anything to the person.
You see why we pray for people when they don't get healed, some don't get healed?
Because some people will not. What has my sickness got to do with the hand you put on me?
And you claim you put a hand on me and I will be healed. It does not make sense.
It doesn't make sense. So you know what we do by preaching the word?
As we preach the word, we shift your mind from the natural perspective to the spiritual perspective.
So that now it can be possible. Are we together? So that it can be possible.
Think about Jesus saying, Peter should go to the sea and the first fish he catches,
you should open the mouth and then you will find a coin and you bring the coin.
Where in the world did you hear that the mouth of a fish can host a coin?
Not possible. It's not possible. But Jesus says it and Peter goes and Peter finds it exactly so.
This is a possibility of the spirit. Praise the name of the Lord.
So I will not let go of my spiritual self. Yeah.
And you see the place and the realm of the spirit is superior to the solicharion and is superior to the body realm.
It is superior. So if you become bodily conscious, you are at the mercy of the soul realm and the spirit realm.
If you move to become body, soul conscious, it means that you are at the mercy of the spirit realm.
That's why somebody can be educated, can grow, go to school, get masters and what have you.
A little girl somewhere in the village would just mention the name of the person and kill the person.
Because that little girl has mastered the realm of the spirit, whereas she may not even be able to recite ABCD.
But you know everything and the person will just sit on top of a tree in the evening and kill you.
Come on, praise the name of the Lord.
Now think about Christians who come to a point where they need deliverance.
Come on now God, I think I have a demon. That's a Christian.
How in the world do the Christians have a demon?
Can a Christian have a demon?
Come on, can a Christian have a demon?
Really?
Can a Christian have a demon? Right? You are in a good church.
So how do people come to say, I have a demon?
Here, they don't have spiritual education.
Come on, I want to get that.
So when you relegate the things of the spirit to the background, then you will be ignorant of the things of the spirit.
And then that would mean you will not be able to benefit from the things of the spirit.
I told you, the realm of the spirit is superior to the realm of self.
Hallelujah. It is superior to the realm of the natural.
It is superior to the realm of the soul.
Hallelujah.
So if your whole life is about your soul, you will not be able to be a master of the spirit.
One time, Elijah and Gehazi, Elijah had been giving prophecies and then the, I think, the Syrian king or whatever sent for them to come and arrest him.
And Elijah was in his room and the soldiers came.
And then Gehazi said, Alas, master, we are finished. We are dead.
The whole place is surrounded. There's trouble.
And then Elijah said, those that are with us are more than those that are with them.
I pray that your eyes will be open to see.
And then he prayed for Gehazi and Gehazi's eyes got opened about, which is Gehazi saw the whole mountain and everywhere filled with tarot.
Two human beings. One was scared, one was not scared because one had trained his spiritual senses.
I'm going to talk about that in a minute.
He had trained his spiritual senses to see the things of the spirit and he's come to the point where the things of the spirit is more real to him than the things of the flesh.
So he may be seeing soldiers physically, but spiritually, he's seen an unquantifiable amount of enemy that is with him.
Now such a man, you can point a gun before the person and the person will command you to put the gun down.
Are we together? Yeah, the person will command you to put the gun down.
See, it's not just about telling people, ah, when you say in the name of Jesus, people fall down.
When you are told that, you need to acquaint yourself with that knowledge.
Come on, praise the name of the Lord. Yeah.
So, oh, the person says this, your ability to counterbalance what the person has said.
Let's take for example, somebody curses, somebody plays a curse on somebody.
And somebody just goes praying.
And somebody goes knowing exactly what to do in the name of Jesus to destroy that curse.
That's two different people.
Come on, hallelujah.
Somebody is praying for the sake, I'm just laying the foundation, we'll climb up right now.
So somebody is just praying for the sake and somebody knows exactly where the problem is
and what to say in the name of Jesus to get the person healed.
Now this happens when one educates himself in the things of the spirit.
Now all these things I'm saying, I'm just trying to tell you that there is a spiritual self.
You have a spiritual self.
Come on, can I say that again?
You have a spiritual self.
All that there is about you is not the dark or fair lady you see or dark or fair guy you see in the mirror
who goes to school early in the morning and comes back and go and eat and drinks and all of that
and then he sleeps the next day, wakes up, sleeps the next day, wakes up.
And all that there is about your life is your experiences with the world.
See, you can have experiences, very serious encounters and experiences with the spirit.
And I'm going to teach you that.
Praise the name of the Lord.
You can see angels.
Praise the name of the Lord.
All of these things are in the gospel.
You can have visions.
In fact, you can train yourself to be having visions consistently.
You can be having dreams.
Hallelujah.
You can be having spiritual perceptions.
You can be having the leadings of the spirit.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Now, see the Bible says as many as are led by their spirit.
Now that tells you that if it's talking about the leading of the spirit,
then your spirit self is what he is going to use to lead you.
As many as are led by the spirit, spirit of God.
So spirit of God.
So if the spirit of God is going to lead you, then he's going to lead you in what?
Their spirit.
He is as many as are led by the soul of God.
If it's the soul of God, what's going to happen?
He's going to lead you.
If he says as many as are led by the body of God, then he's going to lead you by the body.
So here he says as many as are led by the spirit.
It means that if you are going to be able to ascertain and walk the leading of the spirit,
you must be switching to the spirit.
Come on. Praise the name of the Lord.
You must learn how to switch into the spirit.
You must learn how to, for example, you can just be talking with somebody.
You are laughing, you are joking, you are laughing, you are joking, you are laughing, you are joking.
And the next moment you are supposed to be in a meeting.
And things can happen in the meeting.
And you are just wondering, I mean, oh, you can be with somebody, this person on a normal day,
very casual, very funny, very jovial, and all of that.
Looks very simple and all of that.
But the moment the person grabs the microphone by virtue of one, two, three things,
then the person suddenly changes.
And you are wondering, is it the person I left the house with?
Is he the same person?
Hallelujah.
Come on. Praise the name of the Lord.
Say, I carry a spiritual self.
Do I have people here? Say, I carry a spiritual self.
So that part of us also ought to be developed.
Because if that part is not developed, we will be frustrating the leadings of the spirit.
The Christians who just go to church and all they hear, today this one is coming,
oh, today that one, they do praise, they do worship, they go praise, worship, they go praise, worship, they go.
And the person leaves church and then he goes to get accidents and dies.
But they ought not to be so.
Somebody's got to see something.
Come on. Hallelujah.
Somebody's got to see something.
Somebody should be able to tell us that it's about to rain, so don't do this meeting.
It's not like the person is just, you know, opponent.
Say, I believe.
Come on, say, I believe in the leadings of the spirit.
Like you say, I believe.
Come on, say, I believe in the leadings of the spirit.
So you can be led by the spirit of God.
You can be led by the spirit of God.
The spirit of God can lead you.
Are you here with me, everybody?
The spirit of God can lead you.
The spirit of God can direct you.
The spirit of God can lead you.
Now, then I say, if the spirit of God is going to lead you,
then you have to be conscious of the fact that you carry a spiritual self.
You can meet a man who is very normal, a very normal human being.
The person has not even married any respect for me.
And then I told you about a guy in our village.
He went to insult this woman, this old woman.
And by the time he left, the presence of the woman going home, the mouth started twisting.
Twisting.
This is a young guy, very nice, handsome guy.
And when a very, I mean, an old woman there, and then the woman twisted the mouth.
So you are asking, how can a human being without touching or anything twist the mouth?
It means that there is a realm that controls the natural.
If you are going to be strong, if you are going to become whatever God wants you to become,
then your mind must be in that place.
In the Bible, it says that everything we see came from the spirit.
Everything that we see without eyes came from the spirit.
Then it means that the parent realm of all things is the spirit.
The parent realm of all things is the spirit.
So if you want to affect anything naturally, don't begin with the natural.
You must be in the spirit.
But the question is, how do I be in the spirit?
That being the spirit, how is it?
You know, how is that done?
How can you just be there and say there's somebody here?
You had a dream last three days and this was the dream.
Because even if you want to use your mind, you can't be that accurate.
Hallelujah.
But you see, I said, if the spirit is going to lead you, then you have to be one.
Come on, you have to be one.
Conscious of the spirit.
If you don't become conscious of the spirit, you'll be frustrating the leading of the spirit.
So the leading of the spirit is frustrated when we are conscious of the spirit.
When our minds are not conscious of the spirit.
All right.
Now, how are we led by the spirit?
What are the indicators of the leading of the spirit?
All right.
How do we ascertain or how do we hold on or how do we know that this is a leading of the spirit?
The number one way the spirit of God leads a Christian is the word of God.
But I'm not going to talk about the word of God.
I'll talk about the word of God.
I'll wrap it up.
The number one way is going to be by inner intuitions.
Intuitions of the spirit.
Praise the Lord.
What are intuitions?
Intuitions are promptings.
Promptings, feelings, promptings, comma, feelings, perceptions that most often come.
So I say they are what?
Promptings, feelings, perceptions that most often comes suddenly when you are not prepared for it.
Most often something you're not even thinking about.
Praise the name of the Lord.
I feel like I'm doing the school of the prophets.
So you're not thinking about them.
They are not something your mind is on.
But suddenly there is this pressing.
There's this pressing.
Pressing of the spirit.
That is an indicator that the spirit of God is communicating something to you.
Are we together?
Come on, are we together?
So they are what?
Promptings.
What does it mean to prompt?
I tell you.
Oh, prompt the man of God to stop.
What does that mean?
Alert.
Inform.
So there's this alertness or there's this alertness that comes to you.
Now we're going to see from the word of God.
But there's this alertness that comes to you.
The Lord is leading you.
Because sometimes you see when you're talking about and the spirit of God told me and the spirit of God told me and the spirit of God told me.
You're wondering how did you hear the spirit?
Because there's some of you here.
You don't know whether you have heard the spirit before or not.
But it's not possible to be born again.
And not have heard the spirit.
It's not possible.
There's no one of you here genuinely, sincerely born again that you've never heard the spirit before.
You heard the spirit but you didn't know that that was the spirit.
Hallelujah.
With what I'm teaching, if you look at what it's doing, you have a very big problem in your life.
Yeah.
So the spirit has led you before but just like you don't know what it meant.
So there's this strong feeling.
You can add strong edge.
There's this edge to do something.
There's this perception.
A sudden cognition.
A sudden knowledge.
A sudden feeling.
A sudden prompting.
A sudden seizure.
Hallelujah.
A sudden seizure.
For example, you're praying and suddenly your mind cannot go away from Rabi.
Although Rabi may not be in the church.
You're praying about something else but this thing keeps coming into your head.
God is talking to you.
Hallelujah.
Now when I stand before people ministry, then I say,
there's somebody here who has this case.
Most often than not, I wait for it to be one, two, three.
That feeling because, so when we're having the crusade,
after we call for all the people we're saying to come forward,
as I move forward, then I felt like somebody had used a wood to hit my neck here.
Like that.
Then this, from here to here, froze.
And I was finding it very difficult to turn my head.
It was very painful.
Then I got to know there's somebody here who had the same experience.
I don't know how many of you were there.
The woman came from the crowd.
That is the leading of the spirit.
Now you're thinking about the leading of the spirit that you hear.
That's another thing.
Now I'll talk about that.
So I was saying, how do I know this is God talking to me?
Let me bring it to, let's go to Galatians.
Am I helping us?
Okay. Galatians chapter five.
Galatians chapter five, verse 22.
Let's begin, let's begin from 18.
Everybody look into your Bibles.
I believe you're okay.
Now 18, all of you read together.
Let's go.
Now, if you're led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
Now the works of the flesh are manifested, which are these.
Does it make sense?
If you're led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
Now, in the seventies is for the flesh.
Now let's do 16.
This I say then walk in the spirit and you shall not fulfill the last of the flesh.
For the flesh lasted against the spirit and the spirit against the flesh.
And these are contrary one to another so that you cannot do the things that you want to do.
But if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.
So what does it mean to be led by the spirit?
To be led by the spirit means to walk by the spirit.
I.
To be led by the spirit means to walk by the spirit.
Tell somebody to be led by the spirit.
Tell something to be led by the spirit.
the spirit. So, walk by the
spirit. So, this is, um, sorry,
where are we now? Yeah, this I
say then, walk in the spirit.
Hallelujah. So, if you're gonna
walk in the spirit, it simply
means you're gonna be led by
the spirit.
Now, make progress. The word
walk in the spirit can also be
can the word there can also be
the word by the spirit means to
progress to move to advance by
the spirit. Now, what does it
mean by the spirit? For
example, the Bible says,
quench not the spirit. Can you
quench the spirit? You can't
quench the spirit. You cannot
quench the Holy Ghost. You
cannot walk by the spirit. The
activities of the spirit. Are
we together? So, whenever the
Bible talks about the spirit,
the spirit, the spirit, and
then, the activity is based on
man. He's not talking because
man cannot have influence on
the spirit. For example,
quench not the spirit. Walk by
the spirit. Walk by, you can't
walk by the Holy Ghost. The
Holy Ghost cannot be walking
by
So, walk by the spirit would
mean walk by the indications of
the spirit. Are you following
that? Walk by the indications
of the spirit. Progress. When
you are ministering, advance
the ministry by the
indications of the spirit.
When you are a leader, advance
the ministry by the indications
of the spirit. You are a
Christian. Do your day to day
normal life activities by the
indications of the spirit. So,
don't walk like a natural man.
Hallelujah. Don't walk. Don't
walk like a natural man. So, he
says, the works of the flesh.
Now, what then becomes the
works of the flesh? Works of
the flesh simply means the
works of the flesh are manifest
in this. So, when somebody is
being led by the flesh, these
are the indicators. These are
the way you are going to see
that somebody is becoming more
fleshy than spiritual. So,
these are you are going to see
that somebody is being led by
the flesh. All together. Okay.
So, it says, the works of the
flesh. Number one is what?
Number one is what? Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness,
lasciviousness, idolatry, if we
had time, we would have
explained all of that but we
don't have time. Witchcraft,
hatred, variance, emulations,
which strive, rough strife,
sedition, heresy, envy,
murders, drunkenness,
revelance, and such like of the
witch I tell you before as I've
also told you in the time past,
they would do these things are
not inherit the kingdom of god.
Remember, the Bible says, the
flesh fight against the spirit.
The flesh fight against the
spirit, the spirit against the
flesh. So, the flesh, the
flesh, these are the things
that the flesh produces or
these are the indications when
you see these things, know that
the flesh is ruling in that
particular area. Come on. So,
if a Christian becomes jealous,
if a Christian becomes a channel
for divisions in the church,
you don't say that that is your
problem. It's not your problem.
Your flesh is leading you. So,
where you want to know the
reign of the flesh, look at
these things.
You are always thinking about
forgiveness, unforgiveness,
always having issues. Alright?
High mindedness. Always thinking
better than people. You are
always the better one. You
know, and stuff like that.
Those things are indications
that you have locked the spirit
or you are not working by the
spirit. It means you are not
working by the spirit. It means
that you are being and you are
led by the spirit. Because the
Bible says, the flesh fights the
spirit and the spirit fight the
flesh. So that you will not be
able to do what you want.
So, there's this special battle
that goes on in every person.
The flesh and then the spirit.
But we see what you do and we
see what you do. Are we
together? We see what you do
and we're able to know what is
raining. For example, a
Christian who says drinking is
not a sin. Show me a scripture
in the Bible. How in the world
can you use your whole Christian
experience to support alcoholism?
You know, like the Jehovah's
Witnesses. They say, the Bible
said, we should drink and we
should not be, we should not be
addicted to the alcoholism of
their doctrines. And you are
wondering, what do you get from
drinking? What I do is that
when you drink and you get an
accident, you will not die.
Your blood, you make mention of
a blood research or something.
Can you imagine that? A Christian
And a Christian who is who is
thinking, is gambling a sin or
not? And then, you are busy
searching the scriptures to
prove that betting is a sin or
not. Your whole Christian life,
you are using scriptures to
find out, to prove to people
that betting is not a sin. What
kind of, it's it's an
indication that the flesh is
raining. The flesh is raining.
Praise the name of the lord.
The Bible talks about
uncleanness. Lassiviousness.
And the Bible always they want,
they don't want peace. I want
problem. Foulness. Every day,
they need, they want to hear an
opera. When that happens, the
Bible says you are not being
led by the spirit. It means
that you have left your
spiritual education, your
spiritual consciousness, and
now you are living in the realm
of the natural. That some of us
are not going to be able to
let go. It's it's not don't say
oh I need some time. You don't
need time. There is a king.
You have a king and the king is
called the flesh. Hallelujah.
Then on the flip side, let's
get to what I'm teaching
because it's not the point I
want to make. But come on verse
twenty-two. But
the word spirit. Now, the word
spirit here is capital S. But
it's wrong. It's not it's it's
not supposed to be capital S.
It's supposed to be small S.
Because he said the works of
the flesh. The opposite of the
flesh talks about the opposite
of the flesh is the human
spirit, not the Holy Ghost. So
the fruit of the new the the
the spirit of the new creation.
I'm not going to go into the
Bible because the Holy Spirit
is technically the spirit of
the new creation. Alright? But
I'm making that distinction
for you to know. So the fruit
of the spirit. So what is the
fruit of the spirit? We can say
the indicator of the spirit.
See, your spirit being born
again, your spirit and the
spirit of God are in perfect
agreement. The spirit of man,
the spirit of man will not,
will not, cannot ever be at
loggerhead with the Holy Ghost.
There will not be a day where
the spirit of God say, Charlie,
I don't like the thing where he
do. Then your spirit will say,
master, master, master, I'll
come over there every day. You
want me to do good thing? No.
Because when you get born again,
the Bible says your spirit is
joined to the Lord. First
Corinthians chapter six verse
seventeen, he says that he who
joins his spirit with the Lord,
will be the spirit of God.
Amen. So when you are joined to
the Lord, you are one spirit.
It talks about a unionization,
a blending, and a mingling
together. So, what we'll talk
about the Holy Ghost, the Holy
Ghost is your spirit. We'll
talk about your spirit. Your
spirit is the Holy Ghost.
Because the spirit of God lives
in me. You are simply saying, I
have a new creation spirit. The
Bible says that a new spirit,
I will give them. Are you
understanding that? So, your
spirit is the fruit of the
fruit of the spirit. What then
do we say the fruit of the
spirit? We can say the indicator
of the spirit. The leading of
the spirit.
Are you here with me? How do I
know the will of God over this
matter? How many of you have me
asking those questions? Alright,
so if I want to do something or
if there's some, how do I know
the will of the spirit? Am I
helping us tonight? Am I helping
us tonight? How do I know it's
the will of the spirit? How do
I know it's a it's a will of
God?
The first litmus test is love.
Love. Love.
So, what what I mean? What I'm
praying about or what I'm
thinking about? Is it by myself
or by love? Is it selfish or
selfish? And what is love? Love
here talks about Agape. The God
kind of love. Alright, so if I
am doing something, alright, so
am I supposed to go here or
here? Am I supposed to go here
or there? To be led by the
spirit.
There is going to be love.
There is going to be love. It
means that where there is no
love, you are doing something
that there is no inner love.
Now, I'm not talking about
mental love. Alright, because
people love to smoke. It
doesn't mean God is sending
them.
Praise the name of the lord.
Yeah. So, love and then number
two is one.
There is joy.
So, to know that you're being
led by the spirit, there is
joy.
Your mind may fight it but deep
down, you know, there's joy. It
means that if you are going to
do anything and your joy is
tampered with, your joy is
tampered with. You are not
joyful. You are. You are. You
are not sound.
You don't have this inner
excitement. I'm talking about
mental happiness. Because there
are two different things. Like
I told you, somebody can just
be excited to go and drink. It
doesn't mean the spirit of God
is going to be having another
word which is peace. So, there
is this inner joy. You're being
led by the spirit. Praise the
name of the lord. Because these
are the indicators of the
spirit. Are we following this
thing? Yeah. Indicators of the
of of the spirit. Joy. Joy here
is the right to. If they say
we should come to church and I
am not in the mood to come to
church. I'm not careful to come
to church. Does it mean God is
leading me not to come to
church? Yes, God is leading you
not to come to church. God is
leading you not to come to
Hallelujah. How in the world
can God lead you not to come
to church?
Hallelujah. There's this
testament. There's this, you
know, this joy, this joy talks
about a calmness.
The whole thing may look scary.
The whole thing may look
mania mania. But you feel like
this is it. This this really
is. You can't even deny it in
your mind. You pick this, you
know, ah no. No. No. No. This
one looks more difficult. It
looks more mania mania. It
looks more something. But this
is it. Come on. Praise the Lord.
You just like this, is it? So
what does it say? So what does
it say?
The Lord told me. We are not
talking about my son.
No. The Lord told me.
Somebody asked me a question.
The person says, so in the
Bible, once that says the Lord,
that says the Lord, that says
the Lord, that says the Lord.
No.
There were a lot of that says
the Lord that God didn't talk.
But by the perceptions of the
spirit. They put it on God.
Hallelujah. So for example,
somebody says, the Lord says,
the Lord says, this is my wife.
It can be true and it can be
misleading. At the same time,
the same thing true and
The first litmus test. Is that
inner
That inner count. And you know
what? Don't let any friend
whatsoever deceive you into
doing something when deep down,
you know, there's a problem. A
lot of you, if you were able to,
if you were able to be strong
on some suggestions from
friends to you or some things
you yourself, you got yourself
to be strong on your feeling
about it. Deep down, you would
not have gone far with whatever
you went out.
And some of us deep down,
there's this inner joy, there's
this calmness, but you just
don't want to. It looks too
deep.
Somebody was sharing a testimony
that he was in the church and I
mean, he was invited to a
church to go and sing and was
he was there singing.
So, while he was there singing,
then this lady came to give
offering and it was just coming
to give offering like that.
And then he said, lady, not
torn also.
He's not, he's never spoken to
this lady. He doesn't look like
somebody who is even a speck or
something like that.
Hallelujah. There is a toying.
Yeah.
Hallelujah. There are some
friends that come into your
life. There's some people that
come into your life.
You don't want to. It's this
this one. You don't know. You
can't say, oh, this one has
done this. You don't, you can't
say that this person is no good.
But there is a repulsion.
Anytime you are with this
person, you are not, you are
not yourself. You feel like
something is missing. God is
talking to you. That is the
voice of God.
You are not joyful. Because I
mean, when you are with this
person, you are not joyful.
You're going to be matting.
You are happy. You are excited.
But inwardly, there's this
unsettlement.
You just go ahead. And be
talking and be talking to the
point that you will you will
become insensitive to it.
Now,
that thing, because you see,
when you become, when you
constantly disobey the
promptings of the spirit, you
will become insensitive to them.
I think you should write that
down. When you constantly
become disobedient to the to
the promptings of the spirit,
then you become what?
Insensitive.
Can God tell you a particular
work to do and the one not to
do? Of course, yes.
God can tell you this salary
has this this work has a lot of
salary but don't do this one.
Do that one.
So, I should stop school.
You know, when you come to tell
me that, I also have a way I'm
going to tell you the results.
Results. That's the first thing
I have to do. Yes. The results.
The lord, I will believe that
god says stop schooling when
your results is perfect.
And
And so, you can't be so, oh,
man, the lord says, aha, the
lord says, no, the lord said,
after you go and you like it,
then that becomes the voice of
god to you. But you see, the
voice of god simply to the
child of god. The first one, I
will talk about other ones but
the first one is that inner joy.
That peace
The peace is not here. It's not
here. Your mind may be confused
but deep down, you have this
joy. It may be painful doing it
but deep down, there's this
settlement. Hallelujah. You
may be giving excuses. I mean,
like, oh, he's just a friend.
He's just a friend. He's just a
friend. He's a friend. But
inside your heart, you know who
the person is.
You know who the person is.
Maybe we like all these things,
huh? That is why as a
Christian, that's why as a
Christian, you must be serious
about developing that part of
you.
Don't be picking friends.
Don't just be going to places.
Don't be just making decisions.
Don't just join people. To do
something. To bring your spirit
to ourselves. And this is the
easiest way to develop. using
the formula of the fruit of the
spirit.
Praise the Lord.
You know, it can lead you to
when you are steady.
I'll lead you.
This is the first thing is
coming. This one is coming.
This, it's come. It's not here,
but this is coming. It makes
too much sense to your spirit.
That's what I'm saying.
I understand. I understand.
And do you know that it is not
wrong for prophecy to fail?
The failure of a prophecy does
not mean that the prophecy is
false. Yeah. Because the
delivery of prophecy have human
power. You can't miss it.
But your consistency in doing
it will be perfecting the gifts.
Praise the Lord. Are you following
what I'm telling you? You're
so right now, maybe you you've
you've never been led by the
spirit before. You don't even
know how to be led by the spirit
of that. But as you keep as you
keep everything, you know, as
you keep us objecting it to the
principle or the formula of the
fruit of the spirit, you'll be
perfecting it. Because you see,
a lot of you want to begin by
having visions, but doesn't
begin that way because even if
you begin to get the vision,
you will not know how to
interpret it.
There is that thing where the
spirit has feelings. I mean,
emotions. You get up in the
morning and you are all angry.
I'm not talking about somebody
who has a messy bad character.
And you'll be able to pick what
it means. So, there are levels
in understanding the leadings
of the spirit. Come on.
Hallelujah. Right and out.
There are two prophets and this
one can give seriously
intrinsic prophecies. And another
person will be whining. The one
who is whining is not fake.
Alright? He's not fake but he is
persecuting the delivery of that
ministry. So, being led by the
spirit, you grow in that art.
You grow in that art by the
spirit. Come on. Hallelujah. By
constantly. So, he talks about
joy. Then he talks about peace.
Do you have that there? He
talks about peace. There's this
inner peace.
Tranquility.
Deep within. Praise the name of
the lord. Everybody wants you
to go and do medicine. My
mother wants to go and do
medicine. Your pastor and your
teacher wants you to go and do
medicine. Love that. And deep
down, you know that you are
supposed to go and study
dendology.
You know that.
Spirit of god can lead you to
that. I mean, you can let
ministry to go into a Greek.
As for that one there. Yeah.
There's a testimony that a guy
got a big line. And he wanted
to plant something. And he was
like, what? Then the lord, the
spirit of god told him. So,
when you hear the spirit of
god told some, don't think
about hearing. It could be a
ceiling. It could be an
impression. So, he heard the
spirit of god say, tell him to
to to plant a setting armor.
And at that time, it didn't
make sense.
So, the thing is, long and
short is that, when they got
right, some white people came
and said, this, we need, we
want, this is what we've been
looking for. And that's how the
guy changed his whole life.
I want to get out. So, if I can
pick this thing and present it
before god, sometimes in prayer.
And that is why one of the ways
to practice the art of hearing,
huh? One of the ways to
practice the art of hearing from
god is the art of waiting on
god and being quiet.
Being quiet. When I'm about
preparing a message or I'm
getting into a meeting or maybe
there's a meeting that require,
you know, every meeting is not
the same. There's a meeting that
is going to require a lot of
people to be quiet. So, maybe
as a prayer, what you do is
that you sit down quietly. And
at that moment, if you are close
to me and you are playing songs
or maybe you are playing all
these videos and stuff like
that, I will show you. Can I
just go sit somewhere? I'm not
talking to anybody or whatever.
You know, you, you, you are able
to pick up these signals from
god. Am I helping us? Yes. Go
to pick it up. So, the leading
of the spirit happens
primarily if you get, I mean,
if you are a baby Christian,
if you are just born again and
stuff like that, primarily by
the fruit of the spirit. You
just, you just judge it by that.
If you are not, you are going to
do this work, you are, you are
going to offend somebody, you
are going to do that, you are
going to do this, and you just
oppose it with that test. With
that test. And you don't find
these things in. What are you
going to do? You let it be. The
Bible talks about endurance. In
there, alright? You have it
there.
You have to have our self
control. If it is the lord that
is leading you, you must be able
to control yourself around it.
God says, this lady is your
wife. You can't wait.
You can't wait to go and say,
oh, alright, I'm not falling in
love with you. The lord told
this is my wife. Your pastor
says, alright, wait for six
months.
Are you here with me? God says
that, oh, you should do
something.
God says, anything that is done
in a rush is never from God.
God has all rushed me. God has
all rushed things.
contemporaneity, that attitude
is never from God. If you are
being led by the spirit, I
mean, see, if it is God, allow
things, they will play out.
It's your perception that since
you've got you, I think this, I
think that, relax, allow things
to play out. Am I
communicating? If you can't
wait for it, then it is more of
you than it is of God.
Are we together? You have to
control yourself around it.
Come on. God says you should go
and do what?
Relax. You say God. Then give
yourself some time.
Hallelujah. Don't rush into it.
Don't rush making conclusions.
This one says it's God. This
one says it's not God. Two
minutes. I'm going to say hello.
Hello.
Somebody told me that God said
that the president God said
that I am her husband. The
person did not come to propose.
He just came and said, God
says that I am your wife. God
has not told. So, I want you to
know what I've told. And I say,
God says that. Prophecy has
changed.
The human element in the
prophecy.
So, if God has said it, let's
leave it to be.
You know, the Lord say you are
mine. The Lord say you are mine.
The Lord and I remember, I had
a vision, I had a dream. When
I was a child, I had all these
things. Let's give ourselves
some time. Those who that came
with all those visions, in
three, four, five months,
another vision will be best in
front in their eyes.
So, don't be hating. Don't let
people give you all those kind
of those kind of crap. You had
a vision that's in your eye.
Thank you. You are not my
pastor to have a vision for me.
So, it's fine. Keep your vision
for me.
And when the thing is not eating
you up.
If something is eating you up,
you are natural.
You can't just stop thinking
about him. You can't just stop
thinking about it. It's it's
not eating you up. You rise up
sleepless nights. You are
sleepless nights. Your head is
aching
about you know?
And you are confused.
See, God can't lead you in that
moment. He can't lead you in
that moment. You can't rush to
God and get answers. I always
tell you. You don't get answers
from God. When most you badly
need them. Show me Lord. Show me
Lord.
God will be the one clapping.
God will be assisting you in
that moment. When you say,
father, I don't, I don't know
what it is about this thing but
have your way with it. That's
your matter now. Handle it.
And then, you close your mind
on it.
See, a lot of us want to help
God.
You want to help God. Say, God,
I don't feel good about this
thing. I don't feel good about
this thing. God, you know me.
You know me. You know. No,
that's not the living of the
spirit. And when you don't have
these indicators, you are
walking outside the will of
Hallelujah.
You see, in the New
Testament, the new creation is
not supposed to be led by
prophets. It's not supposed to
be led by prophets. Because
Christians who will live and be
visiting this prophet from here,
this pastor from there, this
prophet from here, this, I
mean, and all these people are
teachers of different things.
So, at the end of the day, they
will get different councils.
I was talking to, I was
talking to a dear sister and
say, somebody said he went to a
prophet and the person says
that, this is your friend,
this is your friend, he's going
to go outside now. That's why
I'm like, who, who, how in the
world can we put baskets in
somebody's room?
Basket.
What a wow. This is where they
give scary prophecies.
Listen, if it is from God, if
it is from God, then you may not
even accept it. But deep down,
you have the conversation.
If you're leading yourself, all
these elements will not be
there. Hallelujah. All these
elements will not be there.
When God is leading you, this
is how you are going to know.
And it's this. Paul Paul made a
statement. Let's go to act, I
believe.
Okay, so, let's do the act,
then we'll get to video. Act
one.
Are you here with me?
No. Let's look at this. This is
very interesting story.
Okay. Okay.
Okay.
And when it was determined that
we should sail into Italy, they
delivered Paul and certain other
prisoners onto one named Julius,
a centurion of Augustus band.
And entering into a ship of
the sea, we sail by the coast of
Asia. One Aristarchus, a
Macedonian of Thessalonica, being
with us. And the next day, we
touched at Sidon and Julius
courteously and treated Paul and
gave him liberty to go onto his
friends to refresh himself. So,
Paul was a prisoner, alright?
And then this man, so you know,
I'll just have some nice time.
And when we had launched from
the sea, the winds were
contrary. So, they change
direction. And when we had sailed
over the sea of Cilicia and
Pansilia, we came to Myra, a
city of Lycia. And there, the
centurion found a ship of
Alexandria sailing into Italy.
And he put us therein. And when
we had sailed slowly many days
and scars were come over against
the sea. And the next day, we
sailed onto Crete over against
Salmoni. And hardly passing it
came onto a place which is
called the the the the fair
heavens. Ni where unto was the
city of Lassia. Now, when much
time was spent and when sailing
was now dangerous because the
fast was now already passed,
the ship was now in a very
dangerous place. I perceive
that this voyage will be hurt
and much damage not only of the
laden and ship but also of our
lives. Who has a different
life. Hallelujah. Now, they
have come to a point and they
are supposed to get to another
point. They are in the ship and
Paul is not What's the name of
those people who who drive the
ship? He has no knowledge about
ship, boat, and everything.
shows that Paul's matter has
always been law and the law and
the law. Paul is in the midst
of captains. People who know
how everything should be. Then
he gets up and says, sirs, I
perceive that there's going to
be trouble. So, Paul sits in
the car. He does not even know
what's going on. I perceive
that there's an accident waiting
for us. You can't know this
with your eye.
Now, let's continue. Look at
what happened. Verse. Okay.
Remember from BBE. But the
captain gave more attention to
the master and the owner of the
ship than to what Paul said.
Paul is a master here. There's
a captain here. Alright. And as
the harbor was not a good one
in which to be for the winter,
the greater number of them were
for going out to the sea in
order if possible to put in for
the winter at Phoenix, a harbor
of Crete. Looking to the north
east and north, north east and
southeast. And when the south
wind came shortly, being of the
opinion that their purpose might
be to go out and sailing down
the side of Crete very near to
the land. But after a little
time, a very violent wind named
Iroquilo came down from it with
great force. And when the ship
got into the grip of it and was
not able to make headway into
the wind, we gave way and went
before it. And sailing near the
side of a small island named
Calda, we were able to, though
we were not able to make it
out of the ship. And having got
it up, they put courts under
the round arm under and round
the ship. But fearing that they
might be pushed on onto the
site they let down the sails and
so went running before the
wind. And still fighting the
storm with all our strength.
The day after day the day after
they made a start at getting
the goods out of the ship. And
on the third day, they let they
go. And as we have not seen the
sun or stars for a long time,
and a great storm was on us, all
hope of salvation was gone. So
it means that everybody knew
they were about to die. Let's
continue. And when they have
been without food for a long
time, Paul got up among them
and said, friends, it would
have been better if you had
given attention to me and not
gone sailing out from Crete to
undergo this damage and loss.
Come on. Come on. Say I'm a man
of the spirit. Like he means
I'm a man of the spirit. We
should not just be in a car and
go and get accidents. It should
not be surprising. That you are
just there. They were surprised
with accident.
I'm a man of the spirit.
I'm sitting in the car saying
I'm a man of the spirit. So he
calls it perception. Spiritual
perception. Come on. Praise the
lord. There is a prophetic
spirit. On every child of god.
And it's called the leading of
the spirit. Come on.
Hallelujah. Okay, let's
continue. Twenty-two. But now,
there is no loss of life. But
only the ship. Think about it.
There's nobody's going to die.
It's only the ship that will be
destroyed. How did he know
that it's only the ship that
will be destroyed? Let's
continue. For this night, they
came to me. They came to me.
They came to my sight. An angel
of god who is my master and
my master Paul. For you will
come before Caesar and god has
given to you all those who are
sailing with you. And so, oh
man, be of good, be of good
heart. For I have faith in god
that it will be as he has said
to me. But we will be sent on
to a certain island. Ah. But
when the fourteen they came
while we're going here and
there in the Adriatic Sea,
about the middle of the night,
the sailors had an idea that
they were going to leave and
saw that the sea was a hundred
and twenty feet deep. And after
a little time, they did it
again and it was ninety feet.
Then, fearing that by chance we
might come on to the rocks,
they let down four hooks from
the back of the ship and made
prayers for the coming of the
day. Then the sailors made
attempt secretly to get away
from the ship. Let it down a
boat as if they were about to
pull down hooks from the front
of the ship. But Paul said to
the captains and his men, if
they were going to pull down
hooks from the front of the
ship, you know what they were
trying to do?
The captains that the man of
the spirit warned them. See,
that is why. pastors, prophets
can give direction to leaders
of nations. If they are able to
hear them, the nation will
be able to hear them. If they
had listened to Paul, what
would have happened? Come on,
what would have happened? They
wouldn't have gone through that.
They wouldn't have gone
through that.
They are lying. Keep them
inside. They want to run out.
Keep them inside. You can
continue the story. So, he
says, I perceive. It's called
the sense of you. Hallelujah.
You see, we we have five
senses. Number one, the sense
of sight, taste, smell, hearing,
touch. That is natural way of
perception. So, right now, I
don't think anybody is
perceiving that somebody is
coming. Because you see,
naturally, when the person is
coming, you are seeing a human
being. Neatly dressed. You will
not sense anything. Are you
understanding that? In the same
way, when you are praying and
somebody, you are fasting and
somebody is cooking, you will
not see the smell of the food
that you are eating. You know
the
It just comes to you. I went
together. So, you have perceived.
You can say, ah, I perceive.
I've been going. I perceive. I
perceive. It's a good soup and
you can say, I perceive.
I perceive.
You are a prophet. You are not
in the house but your nose is
able to tell you that that is a
goat light soup and the goat is
a male because the scent is
different.
Come on, are we together? Now,
you can perceive these
Um
perceptions spiritually.
Hallelujah. So, you can
perceive by sight, spiritual
sight. You can perceive by
smell, spiritual smell. You
can, and that one is going to
be a spiritual touch. You can
perceive by what again? All of
these things are spiritual and
natural.
So, Paul says, I perceive. I
perceive. So, the perception may
have been a vision. Could have
been a vision. You can see the
Lord said to me, you can see I
perceive. So, you can say, I
perceive. You can see the Lord
said to me, then you can say,
what? I perceive the Lord said
to me or I saw or I heard.
because you can hear. How many
of you have heard? before.
You can see. It's full of
prophets. Interesting. You hear
things rough off. So, you heard.
I want to get that. You heard.
So, there's the hearing. You
can see. You can see. How do
you begin to see? How do you
see? How how does it look like
when you see something
spiritual?
How do you see it?
Prophets. So, Paul may have
seen and then also perception
can also be a feeling.
You get up and you're about to
go to this place and you don't
have a good feeling about it.
You don't have a good feeling.
This girl called you. My brother
in Christ.
Then brother in Christ, you got
up. You dressed. and then you
have a feeling that you have
seen.
The Lord is telling what is
happening.
and even your tongue, the
spirit is not supplying you.
He's not supplying with
utterance.
And then by the time you go,
you're going to be your face
like you.
That is it. I felt this thing
was good. I knew it. I knew I
knew I knew the people is that
I knew you didn't knew you knew
the spirit of the spirit. It
can even be like you're just
standing on the roadside. This
guy is coming. You want to stop
this guy and you feel like all
the people inside the car. I'm
Robbins.
Don't say, ah, he shall lead me
to the waters of the marine.
Your head will go.
Be very sensitive spiritually.
Because the energy that will be
needed to have. Say, I'm not
picking this car. It's lesser
as compared to what you are
captured in their glory. You
know what I'm saying? I'm sorry
you. That's a rubbish.
I went together.
So, that ceiling, a strong edge.
Listen, what I'm telling is
this. When you, when you are
beginning to walk by that, you
will see the car. But it is
good. It is good. It is good to
just be there and you want to
pick this guy. You didn't pick
the car and then you went to
see the car at the station.
Nothing happening. Don't say,
I was wrong. Uh huh. That's why
the Bible had this word young
prophets, sons of the prophets
and an old prophets.
The old prophets were prophets
that were young in the calling.
So, when a prophecy is giving,
the veracity and the validity
of the prophet, the prophecy,
the to the people, the people
ask, was it an old prophet or
it was a young prophet? When
they say a young prophet, okay,
we'll see what we can do about
it. But the one they say was
Elijah who give the prophecy,
you run and go. Because the
prophet, the old prophet,
simply the old prophet has
exercised the the prophetic to
the point that he has become a
veteran. Even when he calls his
prophecy. And then the young
prophet who, but you know,
sometimes, and it happens in
our churches, the fact that a
brother give a prophecy and it
was not so. We're like, okay.
Okay, maybe I said, so, maybe
after this, after this teaching,
we'll see. I'll just be here.
I'll be watching. He says, he's
a prophet. It's been a long
time. So, you should just, you
should not come and say, the
spread of the Lord says, the
church is on fire. We are not
on fire. Deep.
Don't come here. Don't come
here and tell me we're on fire.
We know we're on fire a long
time ago.
So, the man, the person say,
alright.
and that prophecy should come
inside.
So, maybe when you got up, you
pick a white jeans and then you
please the white jeans. I have
a friend like that in Bible
school. So, he has met, I mean,
we're talking.
Why we just take everything
and in a.
So, we're just talking. We're
just making the laughter out of
And I thought
the thing. I was just doing.
So you go forensic, forensic. But he's a young prophet, he can miss it. But there can be
some elements. He can even give 10 prophecies, 9, 1 is accurate, 9 is not accurate. Then
you go home and be like, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. I swear. You know what can happen, you
can sit down. You know what can happen to him? He will decide I'm not going to go that
line again. But you see, when you are beginning to walk this line, you may even get and you
see I'm okay. I'm very okay. I'm very okay. Except the prophecy you go and give to the
people in secluded areas. You'll be there as a man of God and say you should give prophecy.
Come. Then you start giving nonsense. But when I catch you, you'll be sorry. Those who
wrong prophecy, you must give it here. So I'll correct you. Praise the name of the Lord.
Because when you give a prophecy and I want to know what you are saying is right, I can
know it. Praise the name of the Lord. It's inside of me. A lot of you don't know because
you are still children. Praise the name of the Lord. I can know it. You know why? I'm
the pastor of this house. So what if I slay him? If he's slaying to you, you are standing
here. I can do... So there's no problem with that. And you see, that is the one way, the
number one way for you to develop your prophetic calling. Nobody can lay hands on you and then
you can start seeing forensically and be able to explain it. It takes rehearsals. It takes
rehearsals. So that when you meet children, prophecy to children, at least that way if
it doesn't go, you know... Then it comes up. Then it comes up because you are open to it.
Alright? Because you are open to it. And that's how these things function. Because you are
open to it. Then it will be coming. Sometimes you may even hear a name. Mention it. If the
person says no, is it okay? Don't worry about it. It's not for you. Yeah? And sometimes
if you can go, like I was talking, maybe there's... If there's somebody here that comes forward.
So you just put if there. If the person is not there, go home. Case closed. Because when
you get scared, alright? When you get scared to move on that line, it will never grow.
It will never grow. You may even be a singer. Maybe Mr. Noah will give to you or whoever.
You are just there. You are singing. And then you feel like you are being pressed to say
something. Say it. If it's going best now, say it. Because the God who is talking knows
where you are standing. And he's talking to you. If you don't begin to do that, you will
not be able to consistently be led. Because God knows that if I'm leading you, you are
leading me to nowhere. So that leading, be practicing it. I heard Pastor Chris share
a testimony. And there was this flower in our house. He was talking about the power
of words. How our words can kill and make our life and stuff like that. Then there was
this flower in our house. Way back is it matters. So three flowers. The one in the middle, I
constantly say you are dead. You are dead. You are dead. You are dead. I said it and
said it and said, and guess what? That flower did not make it. That is how I am. I like
to practicalize things. I don't just want to receive it. Practicalize it. Laying hands
on the sick. I heard it from the word of God. And when somebody is sick, I prayed for the
person. And most of them were not getting healed. And I did not care because I'm not
the one who made them sick. The more you are doing it, the more it gets developed. You
can have the prophecy of healing from prophets in Kamba Kabanka. It will not work because
you don't put. Because when impartation comes to you, when it comes to you, it comes to
you in a seed form. You are going to water it with the word of God and you are going
to cause it to increase by acting on it. If you are scared to say the Lord told you. If
you are scared to say the Lord told you. If you are scared to say, I feel the Lord is
saying. If you are scared to say that you will never be able to grow in there. This
is what I'm telling you. It's a serious prophetic hack. Yeah. So you don't get scared. There's
somebody here. Your name is something. If it's the first name that comes, don't mind
the people who say, oh, there are a lot of people who are causing. So add my surname.
You, they say name did not come to if you not come sit down. I would get, or maybe you
are just there and then you hear, you know, my sister went to this prophets and then the
prophets said that to be in our family who are doing it. And she was telling me over
the phone and then she said one is called and one is ready. I agree.
And the person I said, he's in ministry. He's in ministry. Hey, don't laugh at people when
they get there because you, the boldness to even make the mistake you don't have. Am I
helping somebody? Like lift your hand. All of you are seated.
Hey, then you people are not, no, then you people, you don't have the ministry or the
prophetic. Then what you are still pretty is the gift of, of prophecy. I'm serious.
I'm not kidding. I'm teaching you by if you have not had, it's not a field prophecy, but
and to fall home prophecy, you are because the, the gifts of prophecy is different from
the ministry of the prophet. You don't, the gift of prophecy does not require so much
trial and error because that one, the Bible says that the spirit distribute as he wills.
So in most of it,
there are some people were present.
So this is a very serious one.
It's like something I'm looking for.
So it is not that the prophecy is not true.
The problem is with him and growth in that ministry.
I have a prophet for moon experiences.
If you have not experienced that, then don't even start saying you are a prophet.
Say you have the gift of prophecy.
That's it.
If I have the ministry of healing, the reason why I say ministry of healing is that I have
been trained.
Can I use like 10 minutes to explain that?
Then we close.
10 minutes, alright?
Good.
The ministry is different from the gift because you don't just get up and be a prophet.
You must be trained.
So in those training moments, because if everything is accurate with you, you don't need training.
Come on.
If I have the ministry of healing and everybody I started praying for ever got healed.
It's not a ministry because it means that I'm not trained to be in it.
Now you're going to be trained on how to prophesy, how to utter prophecies.
Why am I talking about leading of the spirit and now we are here?
Don't worry.
That's how this teaching will go.
Alright?
How to utter.
Do you know that you don't just get up and talk prophecies?
You see things and you are saying them.
You must be trained on how to utter prophecies.
And when you see that things you can see, you will say what you saw and they are wrong
because what you saw must be interpreted to now mean what it means.
For example, somebody is in the church, you call the person, they begin to see music signs.
You know all this music, they are dancing and all these things.
That can, so I say okay, so please get up.
Then he gets up.
Then I say you own a music shop.
Then he will say no.
Alright?
But I saw music signs.
Then he says no.
Am I wrong or he's the one who is wrong?
Who is wrong?
Am I wrong in what I saw?
But there's a human element.
So it can mean that he is a singer.
It can mean that he has a music studio.
It can mean that he's selling speakers.
You get it.
So one thing that you saw.
So if, please thank you.
So if you are somebody who is a young prophet and you see that, there's a way to communicate
that.
An old prophet will say, this young man get up, I see music signs.
And what it means is that you are a singer.
Are you a singer?
They say yes sir.
Then the rest will continue.
That is how a virtual prophet will go.
If I'm a young prophet, you know what I'm going to say, I see music signs.
Are you into anything music?
Then you say yes.
What you sing.
Then the rest will follow.
Veteran prophet, you are a singer.
Because maybe when you saw the music sign, you saw a microphone inside.
You may not know.
Thank you.
Praise the name of the Lord.
Don't be ashamed if you prophesy and a tophan.
You can't even go forensic if you are scared of that.
Be ready to give nonsense prophecies.
I mean, probably that doesn't make sense.
I was in this meeting and this guy got up and the guy said, football is going to take
you far.
Then I knew the person is lying.
I just said in me, ooh yes.
Football.
The meeting happened in McDonald's.
Because this prophet who, hey, somebody may listen.
Football will take me far.
Because when I was not born again, even football, I didn't know how to play it.
It's all Mali.
A tophan.
But.
As he keeps on giving those prophecies, the best that they have to do.
That's why when you're a young prophet, don't behave like a senior prophet.
Don't behave because you'll be disgraced.
I look at, do the things slowly.
You'll be everywhere.
You just saw a goat chasing a cat once.
You want to go and start prophetic ministry.
You healed somebody whose shoe is missing.
So something pierced their leg and you pray the person go and heal.
Healing evangelistic promiscuous ministries.
So you begin a ministry from a gift.
Ministry must be born out of ministry.
That's why now you test it with the brothers in a church.
And there are some sensitive prophecies you don't have to give.
But just test it.
Today you ate gobe.
I wanted to eat gobe.
But I drank poison.
But at the end of the day, I saw gobe around you.
And celebrated.
Celebrated when you prophesy and celebrate God.
Thank you Father.
Glory to God.
More of this Lord.
Hallelujah.
You know, in your room, don't start walking like this.
You know, it's called spiritual chibuzo, to knowing in the spirit.
Hallelujah.
You pray for somebody, the person go and healed.
Bless God.
Celebrate it.
Don't come and start healing series.
I've seen some of you are like that.
I mean the moment you hear the message hits you.
Then you start doing, how do you call it?
Teachings on the message.
Chama, relax.
Catch it.
Bless God.
Bless God in your room.
Keep on learning.
Because of the things you see, if somebody begin to question you to give serious this
thing, you'll not be able to explain yourself.
You see, when you get born again, my brothers, there is an enigmata of the spirit.
And someone say, my brother, what's enigmata?
It's something that is something, that brings something, to bring something out of something.
Hallelujah.
I mean, you wouldn't get me.
Anything I preach to you, I can defend it to any human being on this earth.
What I know I can defend, I don't even come and preach it to you.
If you ask me questions, I don't know about it.
I'll tell you which, let me find some time.
But as we are here, I don't think you can ask me any questions, I can't explain to you.
Very important.
Because the leading of the spirit, you practice it.
For example, you get up early in the morning, you're about to go to Accra or whatever.
As a father, lead me.
Spirit of God, lead me.
Let's do something together.
Lead me.
And be conscious of the spirit.
Because you can't be led when your mind is somewhere.
Your mind must be on the spirit.
Hallelujah.
How many of you have mentioned names before, full names?
Let me see your hand.
Somebody's full name, full name.
Okay, one person, date of birth.
Huh.
Date of birth, don't say May 24th.
May 24th, 1994, 2 p.m.
2 p.m. at government hospital.
I said, give me a treat.
Where are you?
Lift your hand.
Power.
How many of us believe you have prophetic callings?
Let me see your hand.
Prophets.
Lift your, don't be shy.
Don't be, Jesus if you are shy, I'll be shy of you.
We have three people.
So what are you waiting for?
What are you waiting for?
Raise your name and go.
So it means you have to begin from somewhere.
Huh?
Come on, begin from somewhere.
When you get up in the morning, be led by the spirit.
I said, when you get up, do one.
Come on, do one.
And the easiest way you can begin is this.
The formula of the fruits of the spirit.
The formula of the fruit of the spirit.
Love, peace, joy, endurance, and all of that self-control and stuff like that.
You just, you judge it by them.
Are you peaceful?
Are you okay spiritually?
Are you excited?
Are you joyful about it spiritually?
Then you use those things.
You use those things.
Then you'll be moving from one level to the other.
One level to the other.
Then you become so killed.
But all of these things that I've said will happen to you consistently when you imbibe the word.
When you receive the word.
When you constantly meditate on the word.
Hallelujah.
Because you see, apart from God's word, he cannot lead you by your emotions, by your whatever.
He can't lead you.
So, T-A-T-B-O-N-K-O-S-O-A.
There's nothing inside.
What is God going to use to lead you?
Praise the name of the Lord.
So you must become word educated to be spirit led.
Be word educated to be spirit led.
Tell somebody.
Be word educated.
I didn't say be well educated.
I said be word.
Be word educated to be spirit led.
So when you are word educated.
Come on.
When you are word educated.
You can be spirit led.
As the word of God comes into you, you receive those, you study the word.
And you imbibe the word.
Then you can be spirit led.
Because God is going to lead you by his word.
God leads with his word by the spirit.
Hallelujah.
Come on, now, we together.
You don't like what I'm sharing with you?
Aha.
So right now, when you are going to get a friend or when a friend is going to get you.
When you are going to get a job or a job is going to get you.
When you are going to do anything.
When there is a project.
When there is whatever giving you.
Relax first and then check it.
Hallelujah.
Check it.
I mean as time goes on, I'll teach you.
I'll teach you if you have time in the day, I'll teach you.
One thing is the voice of your pastor.
The voice of your pastor is the voice of God in your life.
I'll teach you that one too from the word of God.
Hallelujah.
So when a pastor says yes.
Especially when you trust that your pastor hears from God.
Yes.
Hallelujah.
When he says no.
Just no it.
When I say yes, just yes it.
Are you understanding that?
But let's put that in the fridge.
Yes, be in by God's word.
Receive the word.
Learn the word.
Meditate on the word.
Some of us here, we look out to seeing the transcendental experiences at the expense of the word of God.
You have never read the word of God.
Yet you want to have a vision.
But you have the vision.
What are you going to do with it?
I had a vision.
I saw monkeys running all around.
Now you don't know whether the monkey is a junior monkey, senior monkey or what.
When you have the word, the word actually even it sanitizes the kind of visions you are going to have.
You don't have a vision.
Some people have visions like they are witches.
Their visions look witchy.
Yeah, it looks witchy.
Like the woman said, yeah, the dream in one of my trousers, a part of my trousers was torn.
And I just wondered what you wanted to see in there.
It's witchy vision.
It's like a witch that is having a vision.
When you are a word man, the word is able to sanitize your visions.
Hallelujah.
It's not everything you will see.
And what you will see, the word will put it in a very different spectrum.
I might have a vision like what does this professor call somebody's I had a vision in the spirit.
Somebody has they've thrown toilet on me.
What kind of vision is that?
It's a witchy, it's a witchy vision.
How can you say that?
So, hallelujah.
Subject everything to the formula of the fruit of the spirit, number one.
But then if you want to be consistently led into the right direction, what are you going to do?
Invite the word.
Eat the word.
Meditate on the word.
Be full of God's word.
Because when you are full of God's word, it makes it easier to be led by the spirit.
The spirit of God can lead you to through scriptures.
Yeah, can lead you to.
So when you have the word of God in you, it's easy for the spirit of God to lead you.
So easy.
Some people, you don't have the word.
When dreams come to you, you don't even know what the dream is about.
Man of God, I had a dream.
I had a dream.
I was coming to the very top building.
I was coming to the top building.
I was not able to come to the top building.
I was sweating. I was sweating.
Somebody has poured ice water on me.
Then I saw a fridge.
Then the fridge became a cat glass.
It's because you don't have weight.
So we are listening to your dream and we are like, hey, God, what is the meaning of this dream?
From here to here.
So, invite the word.
Eat the word.
Hallelujah.
Davis is opening my eyes so I'll behold wondrous things from your word.
There are revelations in the word.
And then that is able to bring you to a point of being led.
To be rightly led by the Spirit.
The Spirit of God will not find it a serious job.
A difficult task to lead you.
There are some people, they are too canal.
They are too absent minded in the word that it is very difficult for the Spirit of God to lead them.
Hallelujah.
May not be difficult for the Spirit of God to lead you.
Come on, say may not be difficult for the Spirit of God to lead you.
Hallelujah.
Praise God.
Say I carry the indicators of the Spirit.
One more time, I carry the indicators of the Spirit.
Say I'm led by the Spirit.
Come on, say I'm led by the Spirit.
One more time, say I'm led by the Spirit.
I am led by the Spirit.
Say in the name of Jesus, I subject my mind to the leadings of the Spirit.
I subject my mind to the leadings of the Spirit.
I subject my mind to the leadings of the Spirit in the name of Jesus.
Be upstanding everybody.
The end of my ten admit by your burns.
My heart is captured to learn.
I haven't meet the burning fire.
Oh a shell of great things.
I haven't meet the burning fire.
