Yeeeaaah
The in the white and the mid-fire burns My heart is captured to lurk
I haven't meet the burning fire Oh a shell of grace
I haven't meet the burning fire
Now let's get into the word of God Luke, Saint Luke's Gospel
So I told you on Friday that the first time the Holy Spirit was given to men permanently was in
the day of Pentecost as written in Acts chapter 2. Praise the name of the Lord. So in Acts chapter 2
the first time they received the Spirit they were all together the Bible says like all of us are
together in this room hallelujah then the Bible says they were praying they were having some cool
prayer they were just praying then the Bible says suddenly
suddenly
immediately
abruptly unannouncedly there came a sound the sound came inside the building like a rushing mighty
wind description of the Holy Ghost first his face up here let's get in that Bible let's get in the
Bible now you told us the Holy Ghost is gentle right let's get into the word
I cannot teach today as today I will teach you about the Holy Ghost laughter
yeah that's what that's my assignment this morning may hallelujah glory
the word of God is sweet now listen and suddenly
there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind
so these are the people now the first time the Holy Ghost is coming to live on earth
live on earth he comes as a rushing mighty wind so think about how many of you have seen
the difference between I mean how many of you have seen a calm wind and a very violent wind
I see hey yeah dinosaur and from maybe boy a two dinosaur a rushing mighty wind it's a mighty wind
so if we are talking about the Holy Ghost we are talking about a violent wind
a violent wind the first introduction you know
what introduced him what introduced him on the day of pentacles was not gentility it was a violent wind
now that gives you the nature of the guy that when he comes he causes commotion
so rushing mighty with then the Bible says the rushing mighty wind filled the whole house where
they were sitting is that what you have in your Bible so think about it I feel them from
me if that time wait for you are you understanding that so the wind was all over and the wind was not
any from rushing mighty wind then the Bible says it's a violent wind and it's a very violent wind
rushing mighty wind then the Bible says it sealed the whole house where they were sitting it did not
just enter the room so when the Holy Ghost comes he takes over so he fills the place
and these guys are still looking then the Bible says there appeared mark these things you know
these things are mostly onomatopoetic so like you say and the thing fell down
the is the onomatopoeia I understand that so like you give a sound of a word
you understand so these descriptions are onomatopoetic in nature
so clothing tongues as of fire sat on each of them it means that when the Holy Spirit comes
he comes with fire you cannot have fire on your head and become I said I love I love the fire
I love I love the fire thank God for the fire it's a beautiful fire no
fire
no holy ghost holy ghost then the Bible says the moment clothing tongues of fire sat upon each of
them then the Bible says they were all sealed for the Holy Ghost the Bible didn't say and the Holy
Ghost sealed them no the Bible says they were sealed to get sealed is not God's responsibility
no God does not feel people when you get born again you decide you want to be fueled
that's why somebody can say me ask for tongues
so listen to what happens the Bible says in Ephesians 5 18 you be filled with the Holy Ghost
do not be drunk with wine where is excess but you don't be drunk with wine be fueled who is
going to do that who is not going to be drunk with wine who is going to be fueled all right so he
says be fueled with the Holy Ghost then he says singing no speaking to yourselves you speak
speaking to yourselves in psalms hymns and spiritual songs making melodies in your heart
we'll talk about that as time goes on
you understand so making melodies in your heart so you are going to make the melody you are going
to speak to yourselves you are going to sing you are going to sing the spiritual songs so when the
fire came the people were fueled how did we know that they were fueled the people started speaking
to themselves so their response to the wind their response to the rushing mighty wind their response
to the fire that was upon them is called tongues i.e. fueled with the Holy Ghost it means that you speak in tongues
when fire lands it is your responsibility it's not my responsibility i can just help you to get fueled
but i can't feel you come on is that all right i said is that all right good so these are
evidences that are traceable to the spirit filled with the Holy Ghost praying in tongues
making joyful noise onto the Lord the Bible talks about praising the Lord with the dancing
we don't dance to sweat we dance to praise God that's why you can't just come here and just be
like this no no we dance to praise God we dance to praise God so your dance should be God inspired
are you understand that God is fine so these are things that happen when people are filled with the
spirit you can be filled with the Holy Ghost and you don't dance because i don't know how to dance
yes yes so dancing to the Lord you must be inspired singing to the Lord inspired making a joyful noise
inspired you understand so it's like the Holy Spirit hooks up your spirit you allow yourself
and the spirit of God hooks up your spirit then you begin to sing in tongues and you sing in tongues
like the Holy Spirit hooks up your spirit you allow yourself and the spirit hooks up your spirit
then you begin to do crazy things as inspired by the Holy Ghost does the Holy Ghost inspire us to do crazy things
of course yes he does did you see what he did to the guys in that too he made them speak in a language they don't understand
and that's very crazy
you see what will happen the vocal you see someone will just be there every time
that's crazy but the Holy Ghost makes us do that
yeah he makes us do that
nothing is funny
it goes like that let me take you to the word and you see
that was what Jesus demonstrated
in Luke chapter 10 verse 21
21 you can say I got joy I got joy I'm joyful
you don't you don't you don't got you don't got such joy
I got joy is it oh make a joyful noise
all right let's read 21 go one two go
Jesus rejoiced and I said the Greek word is one
one has gone to hear the actual pronunciation I wanted to treat you like
layman so I just I got you so at least just have your English phonetics and let's go
then he went to search his a galio
by English English people let's do a value but we want to do if we want to do Greek too fine
but listen he says and Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit
the Lord you know recently the Spirit of God told me stop saying Jesus whenever I say Jesus
say the Lord Jesus and yeah it was so personal to me it's not it's not for everybody it was
personal to me yeah say don't say Jesus say the Lord Jesus
Jesus you're ready Jesus Christ
it's it's been you know so
so the Lord rejoiced he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit
and the word rejoiced is the Greek word or a galio all right and a galio means a galio
comes from two words again again and hallelujah hallelujah is to jump
is to celebrate is to leap it's it means to sprout to shoot up then argon is very much
so when you put a galio together it simply literally talks about to jump very much
it simply literally talks about to jump very much all right to jump very much so Jesus jumped
very much in the Holy Ghost at that moment when Jesus heard he jumped very much in the Holy Ghost
and he jumped and say father I thank you a lot of people think Jesus always walked like this
what is wrong with you how many years eyes be open no the Bible says and he charged them not to talk
he charged you don't charge by
and the Bible talks about and he cried with a loud voice
and he cried with a loud voice John 7 36 down to 39 the Bible says
and Jesus cried saying he who is thirsty let him come to me so Jesus was a shouting person
hey if you are thirsty when you are shouting there's a composure you can't say hey
hey if you are thirsty come to me and drink he's never going to do that
he said hey glory that's that he said it he said all right glory if you are thirsty
come to me and drink that was a value are you following that yeah let's go to act um
John chapter 7 let me show you that John 7 so practice shouting all right I said do what
practice practice that's glory glory glory glory practice shouting now read out 37
37 quickly come on one two go on the last day that great day of the feast Jesus stood and
he did not cry he cried out
he cried out what does it mean to cry out he didn't say
cry out is an old word meaning to shout so Jesus shouted he cried out
so Jesus cried out the Bible says are the tomb of Lazarus
in John um um John 11 right yeah John 11 30 something Jesus wept is in John 11
okay so that's where he wept the Bible says and Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus he shouted
with a loud voice and said Lazarus Lazarus I'll charge you come forth Jesus didn't say
come forth Jesus didn't say lassie lassie less less ultimately
no 43 read it 1143 one two go
uh-huh he cried with he shouted with a loud voice
Lazarus come forth and then Jesus said glory to God where is Lazarus and the Bible says when
when the body says untie him and let him go and he was on the move
Jesus was like that come on how I'm talking about a guy who could preach to 5 000 people without a
microphone you think he's going to do
blessed are they whose sins are forgiven for they will eat the fruit no he spoke to 5 000
that are men that were counted women are not part and in every religious medium
women are more and children so we are talking about somewhere in the name out of 10 000
and he preached to them with his voice
remember in Acts chapter 2 Peter was the one who stood to preach the Bible says and Peter
standing up lifted up his voice let's go actually you see that go where they are
he started preaching I don't like shouting
go down down to verse 11 or so verse 1 14 uh-huh read that but Peter standing up with 11
standing up with 11 he lifted up his voice and say what does it mean to lift your voice to show
so there are things that are evident all right they are there are things that are evident or
men that have caught the spirit and one significant thing is shouting
out of your mouth don't stand before demons and say out no give a fasting that's right
that's it be healed be the sickness will not mind you the Bible says Jesus will say
Jesus will say I want to see again this is ice be opened Peter and John the Bible says in the name
of Jesus Christ, of Nazareth rise up and walk you think they want to do in the name of Jesus
because he will not walk and the Bible says when the wait when Peter spoke he lifted him up
against you. violence. See,
very important. These things
are scriptural. Yeah. He didn't
he didn't he didn't. Why is it
can you walk?
Yes, like that and just lifted
him like that. Men of the Holy
Ghost. When the Holy Ghost comes
upon you, he gives you boldness.
The same men who are scared to
die. The Bible says they have
locked themselves up in John.
They are locked themselves up
for the fear of the Jews. When
the Holy Ghost came, they stood
before councils. They stood
before magistrates. They stood
before kings. They defended
the gospel. You remember John
and Peter. When the child said,
don't preach in this name
again. You want to force this
man's blood upon us. Don't talk
about him in this place again.
Don't preach and judge among
yourselves. Do we obey God or
we obey me? Men of the Holy
Ghost are bold. And boldness is
not evidence of
So, these are
exuberances of the spirit.
As a as for me,
Jesus is here today.
Jesus is here.
You you understand. So, what
is there? What is there? So, if
I don't make noise, what will
happen? Jesus made noise. Paul
made noise. Peter made noise.
Who are you?
What do you say? Now, let's
begin today's service. Some
one twenty-six.
placing flipping table.
Tell somebody, be joyful.
Be joyful. Don't always be
you. It's not nice. Be joyful.
I said, brother, how are you
doing? I'm I'm holding on.
Bless you, brother.
Say bless you. Bless you. Say
oh, hello, man of god. Bless
you. No, we don't. We don't
play here. So, you guys are you

blessing you.
You know, it's blessed. I want
to be say, you know, I mean,
bless you. Bless you. There are
the people who say, Jesus.
Jesus. Jesus.
spiritual.
And then the torture.
126. When the lord turned
again, the captivity of Zion.
Glory to god. We were like them
that dream. Now, some 126.
Glory to god. Tell somebody
practice laughter.
Iragasti. I'll teach you how to
get it done. Alright? I'll
teach you how to get it done.
How many of you are ready to
get it done? Okay. Hallelujah.
I'm going to teach you how to
get it done. I have a church
now. Glory. When the lord turned
again the captivity of Zion, we
were like them that dream.
was a mouth filled with
laughter. And our tongue with
singing. Then say they among
the healing. The lord have done
great things for them.
Glory to god. Praise the lord.
Praise the lord. So, the writer
of this psalm says that when
god brought our salvation, when
god saved us,
when god delivered us. See,
when we were in shackles of
sin. When we were not
Christians and we could drink
anything, we could eat
anything, we could sleep
anything. Those that moment
those that moment when we
didn't have a brother, when we
didn't have a mother, when we
didn't have a sister, when we
lived in the abyss of
depressing agony, sorrow, tears.
Those moments when there was
there was no there was no hope
for the future.
That time, that time, he's
talking about those those
moment. Then, suddenly, it
looks like all of that is a
past tense. Like, those things
don't exist anymore. Now, I go
to church. Look at me. I don't
know how this whole thing came
about but I love the lord now.
I have not seen him before but
I have a new family. I have a
new set of family now. Yeah,
yeah. I do have some one or two
things that I'm dealing with.
That's true but it's like
something has taken over my
life. Oh, I want to, I wanted
to be the biggest lawyer in the
world. I wanted to be the
biggest doctor in the world. I
wanted to get money. I wanted
to get that but it looks like
I'm in something that is real.
I want to be the biggest lawyer
in the world.
The man of God says, when the
law delivered us and all those
shackles, we were not seeing
them in front. We're not seeing
them in the now. We are not
seeing them in the past. It
felt like a dream. Have you
been a, have you been in a
situation where you think that
this thing is never going to,
you know, you think about it?
You fasted about it. They laid
hands on you about it. You
know, Amanda said something.
She said that. It looks like a
dream.
5 years battling with chronic
asthma. That a day does not go
by without her taking
a motorcycle. That distance.
You understand? Wherever she's
going, she has to pick a motor
bike or whatever.
There comes just one simple
looking meeting. with a couple
of young people, young
children. Then they invited me.
I come to see another young
man. I'm in the line. Then they
called for those who are sick.
And then I joined. And then he
puts his hands on me and I
started doing something. And
then he says I'm healed. I put
on, I've put on the perfume.
I've put all the things I
couldn't do. I've done them.
And then she said, come in
again.
Then she said, it's like a
dream.
It's like, it's like a dream.
So, is it possible that asthma
can just get vanished? Like
that? No, is it, is it, is it
so? Oh. So, that was the same
thing. You are standing on me.
So, it is when that happened.
We were like those who dream.
It it was real but it was not
looking real. And as we kept on
thinking about the whole thing,
we started laughing.
God bless you.
blessed be God. Thank you
father.
You you you are God. And the
laughter kept on happening.
Kept on happening. Then through
the laughter, they started
laughing.
What is he teaching us here?
When God does things for you.
When you are able to know one
thing that the lord has done
for you.
Your response, your first
thing you should do, you should
laugh.
You see, and this, and you see,
it's amazing how the word of
god overrides our temperaments.
Because you see, you can't tell
this to who are those people
who sang with, right? Oh, which
one? The people who don't want
trouble. Melancholy. The
people who don't do that.
They are gentle. They are calm.
They are collected. They are
peaceful people. You understand?
You always want to mind their
own business. But the word of
god says, you've got to laugh.
So, the man of god said, we
laughed. We laughed. We laughed.
Then, when we laughed, look at
what the unbeliever says. The
person who laughed, he's not
laughing for things for them.
It means that practicing
laughing in the Holy Ghost.
Practicing
laughter in the Holy Ghost.
It's an evidence to unbelievers
that god is blessing you.
Keeping a straight face. Not
laughing. It's also a
communication to the world that
we are on course with. Are you
understanding that? We use
laughter as one of the things
to prove to the world that we
are on course with god. So,
what we say is the unbelievers
read that part. Read that part.
Uh huh. Then was our mouth
filled with was our mouth filled
with laughter and our our our
tongue was singing, uh huh.
Then they said among the
people of Israel, has the lord
done great things for you? You
see, he didn't he didn't say he
didn't say we went about and
we're telling them, see what
the lord has done. The lord has
done amazing things for us. You
know, uh huh. They meet
unbelievers, they go like, and
the people are thinking, what's
the problem? Are you okay? God
is wonderful. Then the people
carry the news. God is doing
great things for you. Would you
that people will see god's
power in your life? Or that
they will see that god is not
really doing much for you. And
the Bible says, the way god
wants you to express that is
laughter. laughter and singing.
Praise the name of the lord. So
don't go about with a straight
face. Don't go about it. I'm
for me, I'm a, I'm serious in
life. I'm serious in life.
Everyday, you are serious in
life. Don't be serious in life.
Don't be. Don't be serious in
life.
He's done great things for me.
Hallelujah.
He's done great things. You
see, I like that song that
says, count your blessings.
Name them one after the other.
You see, he says,
Yeah.
Yeah. He says, sit down and
begin to count the blessings of
god. You see, whenever you feel
ungrateful or whenever you feel
like the whole world is upside
down and all of that, take your
time. Just take your time.
Take your time. Count your
blessings. The ones that are
countable. The ones the ones
that will come to you. Take
your time. Even the minute
testing. It came to a point. I
had to bath so clean for like
three months. And my my skin
began began becoming some way.
It's not because I like to
bath with powdered soup. No, I
didn't have money. So, I had to
do it and mix it and put it
down. So, that
I'm telling you the gospel
truth.
There's a point in my life at
the age of around 13 there
about. I was walking on the
street. Me. Yeah, I was walking
on the street. I have I've
sold pure ice water. The one
that they tie. I've sold some.
I've sold some. I've sold pure
ice water. Yeah, yeah. I've
sold peps and brush. I've sold
I've sold yam. Cooked yam. I've
sold cooked yam in the me. I
sold it. I have sold we we this
am run about run about you
know.
I've sold pure at Wakey Pins.
I'm telling you. Right beside
where a beer bar is. It's God
that's why I'm telling you
the other.
I've sold broom broom on my
head. Yeah.
I go everywhere. I I'm walking
you right after school. You
have to go and hawk so that you
will get money for the next
day. Think about it. See, so it
looks like this guy. You can't
be the person you want to be.
But if I sit down to count the
blessing of God, I should be
able to laugh. Just that alone.
I've not come to salvation yet.
I'm still talking about the
little things. In my life by
now should have been a witch or
a wizard. I'm not kidding.
They gave me that thing. And
I'm not kidding about Jesus. I
mean, I'm I'm preaching about
Jesus. I'll be sitting on a
tree.
Now, we sit on a tree.
Destroying lives that I was
born to see. It's serious. I
was sick. I was taken to all
kinds of places. Everywhere
son. Think about it. I'm going
to the hospital. They're
bringing me. I'm going to the
hospital. I'm going to the
hospital. These little, little,
little, little things. How are
you? Then, I got born again.
Yeah. Now, that's the biggest
thing. He filled me with his
spirit. And he gave me a brand
new life. I may not have a lot
of money. I have anointing.
I have a lot of money medicine.
But I have records of people
who have been healed because I
prayed for them. Thank you
father. Glory to god. Yeah. So
when you begin to count these
things, your mouth must be
filled with laughter. Tell
somebody enough of the
sadness. You are going to laugh
today. You are going to laugh
today.
For months, myself and a
cousin, we were eating purple.
Morning, afternoon, evening.
We don't go to tear purple. We
go and hunt for purple. We had
even the ones that are not
ripe. We'll come and then pack
them. So as we are chewing by
the way. We have corn. We do
porridge. We don't have salt.
We drink the porridge like
that. So sometimes when some of
you are looking at the man of
god, you don't understand, you
don't understand. Say meh
from. You know, I am the
understanding.
Two, three, four times. My
god. And it's like this. Then
you are counting. One, two,
three, one, two, one city, two
city, three city, four city,
five city, six city. When you
feel you collect the money.
I will say. I was an apostle
in the making, you know?
But god didn't rush it. God
didn't say, oh my god. What am
I going to do? I believe that
time when I'm the one, a two,
three, four times. Glory to
god. Glory to god. Glory to
god. It's it's working. Yeah.
So, you count those blessings.
You count those blessings. You
name them. He says, count your
blessing. Name them. I have, I
have a shelter on my head. I at
the time of the day. I bless
you father for this. Thank you
for shoes on my feet.
Sometimes it's it's too simple
that we can we can easily
forget that. Thank you for
shoes on my feet. Thank you
that I can have something to
wear to church. I went to a
place to preach one day and
one of the women who was
there.
Now, then you, you, you see
light. At least sometimes you
can see it. Somebody come came
to me at a and say, I want you
to teach me how to read the
Bible. The person cannot read
or write. You can read, you can
write. Yes, it's not god who
took you to school. It's your
mother. But thank you for the
ability to reach. Are you
understanding that? Yes. Like,
are you ready to to thank the
Lord for the great things in
your life? He's done great
things in your life. Praise the
name of the lord. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Lord, yes, in as much as
a lot of people don't want to
die, they are dead. I'm still
here. I'm alive. Thank you that
I'm alive. I'm not thanking you
that I'm alive because people
are dead but I thank you
because I'm alive. Thank you
for health. Yeah, yeah. Thank
you for health. Thank you for
health. You've you've kept your
heart healthy for the past six
months. I've not fallen sick.
Blessed be your name. Hey, are
you here with me everybody?
Yes, sir. You're here with me
everybody. Thank you. Thank
thank you, father.
Thank you, father. You are you
are a blessing to my life, God.
I don't know what I would have
done without you. and try and
make me a blessing. Yeah. And
it's also you remember all
these things. You remember a
situation you were in. You were
dead. You knew that for you.
You were dead. You were walking.
People knew you were alive but
you were dead. It looked
hopeless. It looked everything
but some way somehow, God got
into the mud and debted his
life. He just he got you out.
Yesterday, I was starting
Amanda and she said she was
coming from her mother. As they
were coming, they had never
lost control. They just lost
control. Hey, hey, hey, hey,
then they can't land it with
one tie bastard. They fixed it
as they were going in less than
twenty minutes. Another one to
the same thing. Hey, she was as
it relax. You are safe. Not
safe. You are safe. Relax.
Sitting that same car. It's a
blessing. Yeah, it's a blessing.
I should be able to thank God.
Thank you father that when I
pray for people to pray in
tongues, almost all of them are
able to pray in tongues. Now,
father, I thank you that in this
church, almost every single
person is tilting towards the
Lord. Yeah, it's a blessing.
Oh, we had a testimony last
three days. Yes, the last three
days, yeah. One of the brothers
in the paracum, fresh soul, new
soul, the first, the first crop
of souls. He gets to work and
somebody comes to visit the
boss and the person gets
crippled, paralyzed instantly.
The person is not able to walk.
And then the guy said, he
doesn't know anything. He says
that he wants me to teach him.
This, he can't really, he can't
write, he does, he does not know
anything in the Bible. Then he
says, he remembered that I said,
when you get born again, you
are in God, God is in you. He
said, that's, that's all that he
remembered. Then he said, just
last three days. Then he says,
if what pastor said is true, in
the, then say, he put his hands
on the person. He said, if what
pastor said is true, in the name
of Jesus, he said, the person
started sweating and he got up
and he started walking. And then
he himself is surprised.
Glory to God.
He has done great things.
Brothers, he's done great
things. Sisters, he's done
great things. Yeah. Sit down
and listen. Do you think it's
easy? No, I'm not trying to
run down any church. Do you
think it's easy? For such a
miracle to be done. By a
newborn baby in Christ. Who
cannot read or write? No. And
and you know, I'm excited and
I'm thankful to the Lord. It
is because in the church, there
are no babies. They are no
children. You hear me for once,
twice, thrice. You want to try
healing.
You know, my next prayer that I
give to the Lord. I told the
Lord, right now, I want healing
to be more than how we pray in
tongues. And he's working on
it. You see that the healing
test will be because the gift
that is dominating is praying
for the blessing of God for
tongues. Blessed be God for
tongues. But I told the Lord, I
want healing to be common. So
that the world will hear, oh,
you are sick. Oh, then go to
gospel waves. You'll be easily
healed. When you go, don't,
don't look for the pastor. Find
a keyboard, it's fine, and
whatever, a security pressing,
find anybody, any member, just,
just tell the person you have
cancer and just, you'll be
fine. Just wait. Yeah, yeah,
yeah. Oh, no. Go to gospel
waves. Any of their branches,
any of, is it which one, any of
the, that church, you don't need
to see the pastor. No, no, you
don't need to see the elders.
Just find somebody. Find
somebody. Find somebody.
We believe in the
manifestations of the Holy
Ghost. Do you believe that?
You guys are boys, you guys are
boys. Let me teach small.
It is not a normal thing. It's
not a normal thing. And you're
normal. There are big churches.
They see miracles once every
three years. Once. And when they
tell that kind of miracles,
they say, I believe in the
Holy Ghost. Yeah.
Life on camera. Life on
camera. But I said that gets
you a man who can't walk. Then
he said, put the, put the
camera on me. This man is going
to walk. Just put the, I want
this to be captured. Yeah. So,
she takes her time. And then
she says, preach to the man and
prays for the man after prayer.
Then he lifts the man up. That's
a begin to walk. My goodness.
And the man is walking. The man
has been paralyzed. And he is
walking.
Hey. Hey. The Church of the New
York. Yeah. We rejoice for it.
Hallelujah. We've got to be
grateful. Sit down. We've got
to be grateful. I said, this is
a lady.
And then, she go, she go, she
went to the man. I think last
week, just three days or so, I
was starting. I was, oh, I went
there yesterday. And the man
said, my man tears.
My man tears. The man is still
walking. This can only be God.
I said, this can only be God.
See, we can sit here and we are
looking at, oh, how we are
going to take over the nations,
how the nations and whatever.
Yeah, yeah, you know what? When
you are traveling to Kumasi,
you may, you may, you may be in
Sumo. You are still going. Just
enjoy the ride. Enjoy the
ride. Hallelujah. As a praise
God. Hallelujah. Yeah. Because
you know, as we thank him, as
we bless him, as we love, then
we say, Lord, we are ready for
more. Because you see, God
increases in the place where he
celebrated. So, the Bible says
God abides. He abides in the
praises of his people. So,
where he's praised, that's
where he's, that's where he
abides. If you want God to be
praised, you begin to praise
God. To hype him. To celebrate.
That's the, that's the literal
meaning of the word praise.
Praise means to hype. To make
famous. Yeah. So, you do that.
And as you do that, God begins
to
We magnify the Lord. I said, we
magnify the Lord. Come on. I
said, we magnify the Lord. Talk
to me somebody. I said, we
magnify the Lord. Come on. I'm
not talking here. He has done
great things. The Lord has done
great things. We praise the
Lord.
Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord. The Bible
says, give thanks to God in all
things. For this is the will of
God for you. See, sometimes you
just lift up your hands. No
song, no nothing. Just in your
room and you say, thank you
father. That's what Jesus did.
He's reading this from the wise
of the world. You know, thank
you father. Thank you father.
Thank you father. Thank you
father. A woman came all the
way from us. I'm I guess to be
prayed for to get healed. Sit
down and then the woman said
I got to know you through one
of your sons. I'm like who?
I have a son who is called
spider. He's a spider.
and she was talking about
Martin. Then, yeah, yeah, then
then she said,
I'm a man.
What a testimony. I feel like I
want to cry. I bless God. The
woman did not say
What a great treasure. What a
great treasure. But what's
What a great treasure. Yeah,
what a great treasure.
Somebody will come to me one
day. I said, oh, a little girl
has raised somebody from the
dead and I heard that he comes
from our urban family. Oh, man.
I II II let let's bless God
first before some prophecies
come. it's going to happen.
it's going to happen. it's
going to happen. It's going to
happen. It's going to happen.
It's going to happen. It's
going to happen out of the
mouth of babes. He is ordaining
informing us that he is
ordained his strength. He's
come on in the next 2 minutes.
Come on. lift up your voice. We
believe it. We believe it. We
believe it. We believe it We
Believe it. We believe it. We
believe it. We believe it. We
believe it. We believe We
believe
Hallelujah. We believe it.
God. Come on. We believe it.
So, we sit down. We we've got
to thank God. Even for the
little things that he does for
Yeah. Paul had a life. Paul
would thank God when he's
thrown into jail. When when
he's thrown into prison.
Because when you read Acts
chapter sixteen, the Bible
says when he was thrown into
prison, the Bible says at that
time, they praised the Lord.
They praise the Lord in jail.
So, Paul can thank God for
prison. And then he thanks God
when he's out of jail. It's
like nothing is going to
disturb me with God.
Oh, in the name of Jesus. May
the Lord help us to be grateful.
Amen. Hey, may the Lord help us
to be grateful. Sometimes we
have some ambitions. We have
some ambitions. And we get
focused about all those things
and we forget about the good
things that he's done. Now,
let's get back to one twenty
six. When the Lord turned our
captivities were like them that
dream in our mouth was filled
with laughter in our tongue
with singing. And the healing
said the Lord has done great
things for us. What is the
laughter of the spirit? The
laughter of the spirit is so
that the world will know that
God is doing mighty things for
us. Are we together? And then
we find
that we laugh. Let's go to
some
fifty-eight.
Let's do some two firsts. It's
time.
Now,
Why do the hidden rage and the
people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set
against the Lord and against
his anointed. Say, let us break
their bands, ascender, and cast
away their cords from us.
Hallelujah. Now, verse four,
all of us, let's read together.
One, two, go.
Come on. One, two, go.
He that's seated in the heaven
of the Lord shall have the
Lord shall have the him in
derision. Who has a different
translation for derision? He
will mock them. You have that?
He will scorn them. It means
that God uses laughter to mock
the works of the devil. Very
much the works of the devil.
Now, it means that if the if
God sees the devil planning
against his work and he wants
to get the devil confused, he
mocks him. Now, we are children
of God. We are like our father.
See, the Bible says by faith in
Christ are we all the children
of God. Romans chapter eight,
verse sixteen, what does the
Bible say? The Bible says that
we are the children of God. If
children and heirs of God and
joint heirs with Christ. So, we
are the children of God.
Hallelujah. As many as received
him to them gave he the power
to become the sons of God. Even
to them who believed on his
name. So, we are children of
God. We are like our father.
Bible says, as he is, so are we
in this world? We have the
traits of the father. We have
the traits of the son. So, we
are like him. Here in this
world. So, the Bible says, God
mocks the devil. God mocks.
When the when you see, for
example, if you hear that
somebody says, he will kill you.
You don't, you don't respond
with laughter. I'm sorry, you
don't respond with prayer. You
respond with laughter. You
understand. That's what God
says. We're going to do this.
We're going to destroy the work
of God. God. Then God goes
like
Then the devil goes like,
what?
What's funny?
God mocks them. If the devil
tries or if the devil feels
like he's done the worst to
you.
Hey, are you here with me
right now? Your mind is not in
this. You will not be able.
You'll be laughing in the
flesh. We are going to laugh in
the Holy Ghost. It's not
strange. When we do that, then
we close. Think about, so what
what that shows us is that the
God kind of laughter does not
need something to be funny.
Because you are, you are,
excuse me, you, you are not
correct. If somebody is trying
to destroy your whole life and
you laugh, laughter is not when
something is funny. The God
kind of laughter is when there
is an enemy who is trying to
destroy everything of you, you
laugh. So, laughter is a
weapon.
Holy Ghost laughter is a
weapon.
Sometimes put all those exams
results before you. You look at
the results. Put them first
time, second time, third time,
put them on the floor. And
laugh. He's a blessed God.
Hallelujah. God mocks the
devil. God is a mocker. You
can't mock him because God
cannot be mocked but he mocks
and he mocks the devil. He
mocks the weapon. So,
sometimes you say, ah, you are
too serious. mock the devil.
Say, I mock the devil. So, the
man who says, when that
happens, when when when the
man and the enemies are
planning up down there, the one
who is a possessor of the
heavenly life, the one who sits
in the heaven, it does not mean
the one who sits above. The
one who laughs. Now, we are
heavenly beings. So, the Bible
says in in first Corinthians
fifteen forty-five, down there
is is that, um, the first man
Adam was earthy and the second
man was a life-giving spirit.
As we are born the image of the
first one, we are bearing the
image of the spiritual one. So,
we are life-giving spirit. We
are heavenly beings. We are
celestial beings. So, God says,
over here, this is how we do
things. Now, down there, when
you see an enemy, you cry, you
pray, you fight. Up here, when
you see an enemy doing
something against you, one of
the greatest weapon I use,
because I can't pray to
anybody. Now, I can't pray to
anybody. I I can't pray that
someone should come and deliver
me. So, I use the strategy of
mocking. I mock with laughter.
I'm laughing. Oh my goodness.
He laughs. To mock them. He
will have them in confusion.
Let's go to some. I told you
fifty-one. Let's do fifty-nine
rather. Fifty-nine eight.
Fifty-nine eight. It was
fifty-nine eight rather.
Let me start from one.
When Saul sent and they watched
the house to kill him. No, let
us the chief musician.
Mastam of David. When Saul
sent and they watched the house
to kill him. Deliver me from my
enemies. Oh my god. Defend me
from the workers of iniquity
and save me from bloody men.
For lo, they lie in wait. For
my soul. The mighty are gathered
against me. Not for my
transgression. Not for my sin.
Oh lord. They run and prepare
themselves without my fault. I
wait to help me and behold.
Thou therefore oh lord god of
host. The god of Israel. I wait
to visit all the hidden. Be not
merciful to any wicked
transgression. To transgress as
a dog. To act like a dog and go
around about the city. This is
a very powerful your moon to
scripture. Behold, they belch
out with their mouth. Salt are
in their lips. For who say they
doth hear. But thou all lord
shall laugh at them. Thou shall
have all the hidden in
derision. Because of his
strength. Will I wait upon you
to come. God loves when the
enemy is doing his worst. You
feel like the enemy is doing
something around your life?
There's a formula. You love to
praise god and that same laughter
mocks the devil. So it means
that when you laugh to show the
greatness of god or when you
laugh to show the great things
god is doing to you, that same
laughter is a bifocal weapon.
That's why god has praised.
God has praised. So laughter is
good. Now, what kind of laughter
am I talking about? I told you
in the act chapter two, the
Bible says, when they were
filled with the holy ghost,
those who stand out there, they
mock them saying, these are
filled with new wine. They are
drunk in the morning and when
they drink, one of the things
you see is laughter. I've seen
people get drink before, get
drunk before. And they're
laughing when nothing is funny.
So, the god kind of laughter is
not dependent on funny things.
So, it means that if you are
if you are laughing because
something is funny, then, it's
not a god type of laughter.
Because the god kind of laughter
should be able to stand before
you and laugh. So, the god kind
of laughter happens when
nothing actually is funny. It
comes right from your spirit.
Right from your spirit. So,
being filled with the holy
ghost is not just about praying
in tongues. Being filled with
the holy ghost also means you
can laugh in the holy ghost.
You laugh in the holy ghost.
The laughter in the holy ghost
confuses the devil. The laughter
in the holy ghost mocks the
devil. You see, think about the
fact that somebody is trying to
do something to gain attention.
And then, you don't give the
person the attention and you
are always excited. The person
get confused, the person get
confused and say, what can I do?
God, God is amazing because you
see, I told you, the laughter is
a sign to an unbeliever that
you are blessed. That God is
doing great things with you.
And he mocks the devil. So, how
does it mock the devil? When he
does his words, when an enemy
does his words, when things,
when he throws things to come
at you. And then you laugh. You
are telling him that God is
doing great things. And it
kills him. Oh, may the Lord help
us to laugh at all times. I
said, may the Lord help us to
laugh at all times. Do I have
people here? I said, may the
Lord help us to laugh at all
times. In good times and in bad
times, we laugh. Hallelujah.
Are you learning something new?
Because I think I'm learning
something new. Praise the name
of the Lord. Take time off.
Even if you are crying, laugh.
So that you know you are crying.
The devil will see tears of
joy. Managed to, you see,
managed to laugh. See, the
Bible did not say, then was our
mouth filled with smiles. You
know, Praise the Lord. Are you
happy in the house? Praise God.
The Holy Ghost erupted. It's not
a smile. It's bigger than that.
It's a laughter. In fact, that
word laughter means an
uncontrollable expression of
excitement through laughing.
See, an uncontrollable
expression. Alright? Of joy,
through love. Like, it's not
like you're laughing like a
lady, like laughter. So that
one, I mean, you can go and sit
in your board meeting and you go
like, hey, hey, hey. He's going
to fire you. But the Holy Ghost
one is a violent one.
Sometimes, it begins, you see,
it's exactly like how you pray
in tongues because you are
familiar with tongues. I can
use tongues. You know, tongues
went the first time we were
talking about.
Ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba, ba,
ba, ba, ba, ba. So, it's not
that, you know, in the same way,
the Holy Ghost laughter can
come like that. Then you can
pause for like what looks like
30 seconds. Then you're, you
don't know what happened. Then
you feel again. You know, then
it goes like that. Then it goes
like that. Now, some say, what
if it's my mind? It's the same
thing with the with the praying
in tongues. Now, you have to
feel something. You don't need
to feel something. You just
Lord, your word says, I should
love and I love. I love to
praise you because right now,
if we say, lift your hands and
bless the name of the Lord, you
know, how do I start it? No,
you go like, thank you, father.
So, you're blessed the Lord in
the spirit. You go like,
local.
Paul talks about singing in the
spirit and praying in the
spirit. Pray in the spirit. You
go like, go. Now, singing in
the spirit, you're thinking,
how does it go? Uh uh, you
should go.
You're singing in the spirit.
Now, come and get your branch.
See, I'm teaching to be a
waterwalker. When there is a
situation, you walk on the
water. You walk on the
situation. You say, thank God.
Praise God. Thank God. Praise
God. Thank God. Praise God.
Thank God. Praise God. Thank
God. Praise God. Thank God.
Praise God. Thank God.

Hallelujah. Let's go to God.
Praise God.
Let's let's let's go to act
sixteen. Let me show you
something there. Oh, are you
feeling it? Glory to God.
Hallelujah.
Hallelujah. Let's go to chapter
twenty-four. Okay, let's do
verse twenty-five. And at
midnight, now, let's begin from
twenty-three. And when they had
laid many stripes upon them,
they cast them into prison,
and the prison guard who
haven't received such a charge
thrust them into the inner
prison and made their feet fast
in the socket. So, he locks
their feet right in the prison
in the inner prison. So, he
takes them to the inner prison
then he locks their feet.
Listen.
And then, Paul and Silas
prayed and sang praises unto
God. And the prisoners heard
them. Serious expressions. At
midnight. You know, they are
supposed to cry. They're
supposed to be like, god, why
me? God, why? It's your work we
need. God, forgive us for some
nonsense statement with meat.
Then was a mouth filled with
laughter.
Listen. And they were there.
And their legs are are in the
stocks. And then at midnight,
they're going to sing and sing
praises unto God. And Silas is
alright. So, let's lift your
voice in the language of the
spirit.

And then the voice goes up.
And and and Paul will go like
