Stay with us until 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.879 the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:23.300 right in. The believers' authority in Christ. 00:00:23.379 --> 00:00:27.000 And from Wednesday, I... I started teaching about 00:00:27.000 --> 00:00:31.160 the supernatural and interestingly, I went to 00:00:31.160 --> 00:00:35.119 Exodus straight up. I went to Exodus and the 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:39.700 reason for that, right? The reason for that is... 00:00:40.219 --> 00:00:43.679 To show us, which we will continue today, to 00:00:43.679 --> 00:00:47.219 show us some spectacular things that actually 00:00:47.219 --> 00:00:50.820 happen. The reason was for us to open our eyes 00:00:50.820 --> 00:00:53.700 to see that spectacular things can actually happen 00:00:53.700 --> 00:00:55.799 in the Bible. So I've talked about the supernatural 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.939 and now I'm saying the word spectacular. Now, 00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:01.619 the entire context, so you can begin to write 00:01:01.619 --> 00:01:05.319 down now, the entire context of the Bible is 00:01:05.319 --> 00:01:07.939 supernatural. That's where to start from. The 00:01:07.939 --> 00:01:12.319 entire context of the Bible is supernatural. 00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:16.640 And that is why if we pick the Bible as a book, 00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:19.760 okay? If we pick the Bible as a book to begin 00:01:19.760 --> 00:01:24.579 to teach, right, natural areas and sectors of 00:01:24.579 --> 00:01:28.040 life, it will be very misleading. It will be 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:31.920 an abuse. Because the entire context of the Bible 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:35.900 is supernatural. The Bible is supernatural. Within 00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:38.920 that supernatural, there are spectacular things 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:43.260 that are taking place. And by spectacular, right, 00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.159 there are spectacular things that are taking 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:48.980 place within the supernatural. And these spectacular 00:01:48.980 --> 00:01:52.480 things, they are things that we see. They are 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:56.000 very visible in the natural. So when supernatural 00:01:56.000 --> 00:01:59.239 things take place, sometimes it's very visible 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:02.180 in the natural. You will see it. And that's very 00:02:02.180 --> 00:02:04.859 spectacular. And you're wondering. Wow. Things 00:02:04.859 --> 00:02:07.939 that cannot be explained, right? By science, 00:02:07.980 --> 00:02:09.659 things that cannot be explained by your thoughts, 00:02:09.800 --> 00:02:12.060 right? Things that cannot be explained. So in 00:02:12.060 --> 00:02:14.860 where we come from, we are used to calling it 00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:17.120 miracles, right? So when you see something happen, 00:02:17.240 --> 00:02:21.099 something, an intervention in the natural, that's 00:02:21.099 --> 00:02:22.780 a miracle, right? That's a miracle because you 00:02:22.780 --> 00:02:27.000 are seeing it. But do you know that your fate 00:02:27.000 --> 00:02:30.819 is also supernatural? Your fate is supernatural 00:02:30.819 --> 00:02:35.699 and it is spectacular as well. Why? Because you 00:02:35.699 --> 00:02:39.560 began to see Christ the way he should be seen 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.659 according to the scriptures. That's spectacular. 00:02:43.259 --> 00:02:45.759 Your revelation, something was taken away the 00:02:45.759 --> 00:02:47.759 moment the gospel was preached to you. And your 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:51.180 perspective changed. And the way you see God 00:02:51.180 --> 00:02:54.870 changed. That's spectacular as well. But most 00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:56.930 of the time, right, the one we want to call the 00:02:56.930 --> 00:02:59.509 first pedagogy, the one we refer to, is that 00:02:59.509 --> 00:03:02.870 one that the leg became straight again, the kidney 00:03:02.870 --> 00:03:06.770 was restored, the eyes of the blind was opened, 00:03:06.930 --> 00:03:08.750 and all of that. And that's why I intentionally 00:03:08.750 --> 00:03:14.590 took us to Exodus. To see that, but just to backtrack 00:03:14.590 --> 00:03:16.449 this, to say that the entire context of the Bible 00:03:16.449 --> 00:03:20.550 is supernatural. Right? It's supernatural. And 00:03:20.550 --> 00:03:25.280 it has an impact on the natural. Now, let's read 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:29.039 Romans chapter 14. Romans chapter 14. Let's go 00:03:29.039 --> 00:03:31.580 to Romans chapter 14. I should not pick something 00:03:31.580 --> 00:03:35.039 there to explain. Romans chapter 14, we can start 00:03:35.039 --> 00:03:38.580 from verse 13. Okay, yes, start from verse 1. 00:03:38.599 --> 00:03:41.379 Verse 1 of it, thank you. Now, it says, As for 00:03:41.379 --> 00:03:46.319 the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but 00:03:46.319 --> 00:03:50.400 not to quarrel over opinions. One person believe 00:03:50.400 --> 00:04:10.919 he may eat anything, So he's talking about a 00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:14.139 context where some people believe differences 00:04:14.139 --> 00:04:18.899 in dietary rights in eating. And he's saying 00:04:18.899 --> 00:04:21.389 that, well, someone's... who is weak, right, 00:04:21.490 --> 00:04:24.170 is taking only vegetables, and the other one 00:04:24.170 --> 00:04:26.670 believes he could take anything, right? So we 00:04:26.670 --> 00:04:29.810 see something here, and he used the word weak 00:04:29.810 --> 00:04:32.629 in faith. You see the word? He used the word 00:04:32.629 --> 00:04:34.529 weak in faith. So he's not talking about someone 00:04:34.529 --> 00:04:38.649 who is sick, that the doctor has prescribed vegetables 00:04:38.649 --> 00:04:42.310 or water for them, you know, in some cases, right? 00:04:42.470 --> 00:04:44.250 But he's talking about someone who is weak in 00:04:44.250 --> 00:04:47.310 faith. So when it comes to faith, it definitely 00:04:47.310 --> 00:04:52.649 means... That knowledge is involved. It means 00:04:52.649 --> 00:04:57.209 that knowledge is involved. It could be that 00:04:57.209 --> 00:05:01.009 the person does not have abundance of the knowledge 00:05:01.009 --> 00:05:03.629 of the word. So that's why I say weak in faith. 00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:06.970 And I say because of their weakness in faith, 00:05:07.209 --> 00:05:10.730 they eat certain things and choose not to eat 00:05:10.730 --> 00:05:14.329 other things. So we see the difference. Now, 00:05:14.350 --> 00:05:17.329 if we go to chapter 15, verse 1, chapter 15. 00:05:17.759 --> 00:05:24.139 Verse 1, Romans. He said, we who are strong have 00:05:24.139 --> 00:05:28.279 an obligation, right, to bear with the failings 00:05:28.279 --> 00:05:30.500 of the weak. Don't forget, it's a conversation 00:05:30.500 --> 00:05:34.180 that is continuing in that chapter 5. He said, 00:05:34.199 --> 00:05:37.699 we who are strong have an obligation to bear 00:05:37.699 --> 00:05:41.300 with the failings of the weak and not to please 00:05:41.300 --> 00:05:44.839 ourselves. Let each of us please his neighbor 00:05:44.839 --> 00:05:50.610 for his good. to build him up, right? To do what? 00:05:50.889 --> 00:05:53.170 To build him up. So we see two kind of believers 00:05:53.170 --> 00:05:55.370 here. One is strong, right? Some people are strong 00:05:55.370 --> 00:05:58.050 and some people are weak. And we see that in 00:05:58.050 --> 00:06:00.149 the context of that, it's talking about faith. 00:06:00.389 --> 00:06:03.370 And I said, it's knowledge, right? It's knowledge. 00:06:03.550 --> 00:06:06.910 Now let's go to chapter 14, verse 13. Let's speak 00:06:06.910 --> 00:06:08.870 from there. There's something I want to try to 00:06:08.870 --> 00:06:11.050 establish before we go into, it will help us 00:06:11.050 --> 00:06:12.730 to proceed. From verse 13, it says, therefore 00:06:12.730 --> 00:06:34.279 let us not pass judgments. Do you see that it's 00:06:34.279 --> 00:06:38.459 about knowledge now? In the person's mind, that 00:06:38.459 --> 00:06:41.459 in the person's thinking, something is unclean 00:06:41.459 --> 00:06:44.110 and should not be eaten. Right? So it's about 00:06:44.110 --> 00:06:46.750 knowledge. That weak in faith means you could 00:06:46.750 --> 00:06:48.870 be weak in knowledge, right? Not understanding 00:06:48.870 --> 00:06:51.889 that everything is clean and nothing is unclean 00:06:51.889 --> 00:06:56.029 in itself. Are we together? So let's proceed. 00:06:56.329 --> 00:06:58.629 Now, for if your brother is gripped by what you 00:06:58.629 --> 00:07:01.230 eat, you are no longer walking in love. By what 00:07:01.230 --> 00:07:05.009 you eat, do not destroy the one for whom Christ 00:07:05.009 --> 00:07:12.110 has died. So do not let what you regard as good. 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.939 spoken of as evil. For the kingdom of God is 00:07:15.939 --> 00:07:18.420 not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness 00:07:18.420 --> 00:07:21.879 and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost. Whosoever 00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.300 touch self Christ is acceptable to God and approved 00:07:25.300 --> 00:07:28.860 by men. So then let us pursue what is, what makes 00:07:28.860 --> 00:07:32.699 for peace and mutual upbuilding, right? Do not 00:07:32.699 --> 00:07:35.470 forsake. Do not, for the sake of food, destroy 00:07:35.470 --> 00:07:38.490 the work of God. Everything is indeed clean, 00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:41.149 but it is wrong for anyone to make another stumble 00:07:41.149 --> 00:07:45.589 by what he eats. So you will see that Paul is 00:07:45.589 --> 00:07:49.170 actually trying to say that for this person who 00:07:49.170 --> 00:07:51.389 is not eating certain things, right? You should 00:07:51.389 --> 00:07:53.810 be accommodating, right? You should be accommodating. 00:07:53.930 --> 00:07:57.350 But I want to point out something in that accommodation. 00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:00.910 There's something in that accommodation that 00:08:00.910 --> 00:08:04.860 we must not miss. Because it would mean that 00:08:04.860 --> 00:08:09.339 you leave someone who is weak in faith because 00:08:09.339 --> 00:08:11.879 you want to accommodate them. So you say, oh, 00:08:11.939 --> 00:08:13.560 because he doesn't eat, then you accommodate 00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:16.300 the person. And the person stays and the person... 00:08:16.300 --> 00:08:18.079 So the person will remain weak in faith, right? 00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:20.860 So for someone who is weak in faith, what do 00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:22.720 we do to them? For someone who is weak in faith, 00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:25.560 what do we do to them? Edification, yes. Yes, 00:08:25.600 --> 00:08:27.959 it's edification. When you are weak in faith, 00:08:28.139 --> 00:08:30.540 you will receive edification. What is edification? 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:35.009 Right? Something that is for upbuilding. Right? 00:08:35.549 --> 00:08:37.649 Something that is for upbuilding. What do you 00:08:37.649 --> 00:08:40.350 call it? Ephesians 4 verse 11. Let's go. Ephesians 00:08:40.350 --> 00:08:44.809 4 verse 11. Ephesians 4 verse 11. And he gave 00:08:44.809 --> 00:08:47.289 the apostles and the prophets and the evangelists, 00:08:47.289 --> 00:08:51.029 the shepherds and teachers to equip the saints 00:08:51.029 --> 00:08:55.519 for the work of ministry. For building up the 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:58.720 body of Christ until we attain to the unity of 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.379 faith and of the knowledge of God, of the Son 00:09:03.379 --> 00:09:07.399 of God, to mature man would, to the measure of 00:09:07.399 --> 00:09:09.460 the stature of the fullness of Christ. So we 00:09:09.460 --> 00:09:12.019 are no longer tossed around, right? We are no 00:09:12.019 --> 00:09:15.220 longer the children tossed to and fro by the 00:09:15.220 --> 00:09:18.720 waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine. 00:09:18.860 --> 00:09:23.009 What you see there is equipping the saints. The 00:09:23.009 --> 00:09:25.570 word kalatismos, right? And we see building up 00:09:25.570 --> 00:09:30.110 the body and we see knowledge, right? So precise 00:09:30.110 --> 00:09:33.230 and accurate knowledge of God. So when it comes 00:09:33.230 --> 00:09:35.750 to building up, right? When it comes to building 00:09:35.750 --> 00:09:41.389 up, what is needed, right? Is teachers who would 00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:44.909 explain Christ to you. So if you go back to that 00:09:44.909 --> 00:09:48.110 14, right? If you go back to that Romans 14, 00:09:48.230 --> 00:09:50.730 you will see that Paul emphasized something. 00:09:51.690 --> 00:09:54.070 He emphasized building up. In fact, when you 00:09:54.070 --> 00:09:57.850 come to verse 14 of Romans 15, right? Go to verse 00:09:57.850 --> 00:10:00.649 14 of Romans 15. He said, I myself am satisfied 00:10:00.649 --> 00:10:04.289 about you, my brothers, that you yourself are 00:10:04.289 --> 00:10:08.549 full of goodness, filled with all knowledge, 00:10:08.789 --> 00:10:12.710 and able to instruct one another. Romans 15, 00:10:12.850 --> 00:10:16.169 14. He said, I myself am satisfied about you, 00:10:16.250 --> 00:10:20.279 my brothers, that you yourself... Are full of 00:10:20.279 --> 00:10:23.840 goodness. Filled with all knowledge. And able 00:10:23.840 --> 00:10:28.919 to instruct one another. Right. Now from verse 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.860 14. He started talking about building. Building 00:10:33.860 --> 00:10:37.679 up. From verse 14. Chapter 14 rather. Chapter 00:10:37.679 --> 00:10:40.879 14 verse 19. He said let us pursue what makes 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:44.679 for peace. And for mutual building. We see that. 00:10:44.799 --> 00:10:49.039 Chapter 15 verse 4. He said, whatever was written 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:53.360 in former days was written for instruction. That 00:10:53.360 --> 00:10:55.440 through endurance and through the encouragement 00:10:55.440 --> 00:10:57.460 of the scriptures, what is written in the scriptures, 00:10:57.700 --> 00:11:00.519 we might have hope. May the God of endurance 00:11:00.519 --> 00:11:03.980 and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony 00:11:03.980 --> 00:11:08.240 with one another in accord with Christ. That 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:11.679 together you may, with one voice, glorify God. 00:11:12.039 --> 00:11:14.519 the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:16.720 welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you 00:11:16.720 --> 00:11:21.440 for the glory of God. So, what you will see consistently 00:11:21.440 --> 00:11:24.960 here is that Paul is saying, let there not be 00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:29.720 argument and quarrel, right? About what to eat 00:11:29.720 --> 00:11:32.419 and what not to eat. Let there not be argument 00:11:32.419 --> 00:11:35.600 and quarrel about it. However, let there be a 00:11:35.600 --> 00:11:40.419 conversation on what... Let there be a conversation 00:11:40.419 --> 00:11:43.620 through the scriptures instructing one another 00:11:43.620 --> 00:11:48.740 for building up. So if you are weak in faith, 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.899 we are not going to leave you to be weak in faith. 00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:55.399 We will have a conversation, right, instructing 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:59.460 each other through the scripture for your building 00:11:59.460 --> 00:12:01.320 up. So it will not be good for the church to 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:03.299 say, oh, we are going to leave you because you 00:12:03.299 --> 00:12:04.600 are weak in faith. No, no, we are not going to 00:12:04.600 --> 00:12:06.610 leave you. Right? We're going to have a conversation, 00:12:06.730 --> 00:12:10.870 not by quarrels about my opinion or your opinion, 00:12:11.110 --> 00:12:14.970 but according to the scriptures. He said, through 00:12:14.970 --> 00:12:17.509 the encouragement that comes from the scriptures. 00:12:17.789 --> 00:12:20.429 He said, I know that you are filled with all 00:12:20.429 --> 00:12:23.710 knowledge, verse 14, and able to instruct one 00:12:23.710 --> 00:12:25.789 another. So instructing one another means we 00:12:25.789 --> 00:12:28.309 can teach one another rather than quarreling 00:12:28.309 --> 00:12:30.289 over opinions. So those are two different things. 00:12:30.940 --> 00:12:33.379 So in the body of Christ, we can instruct one 00:12:33.379 --> 00:12:35.240 another. So you can show me something from scriptures, 00:12:35.379 --> 00:12:36.799 I can show you from scriptures, we can explain 00:12:36.799 --> 00:12:38.840 and check and receive encouragement from scriptures. 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.000 So we don't argue, we don't quarrel, right? But 00:12:43.000 --> 00:12:45.120 we can build up each other. So the person who 00:12:45.120 --> 00:12:49.240 is weak in faith can be instructed. That's where 00:12:49.240 --> 00:12:53.279 I'm going. The person who is weak in faith can 00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.700 be instructed, can be engaged in a conversation 00:12:56.700 --> 00:13:00.570 for upbuilding. Hallelujah. Now let's bring this 00:13:00.570 --> 00:13:04.470 to the supernatural. When it comes to the supernatural, 00:13:04.750 --> 00:13:08.070 I'm going to apply just what we see here. People 00:13:08.070 --> 00:13:11.350 are weak in faith. Someone can be weak in faith 00:13:11.350 --> 00:13:13.730 that they don't believe in the supernatural, 00:13:13.970 --> 00:13:16.669 right? When you don't believe in the supernatural, 00:13:16.750 --> 00:13:19.649 you are weak in faith because the scripture explains 00:13:19.649 --> 00:13:25.029 it and shows it across the scriptures. So if 00:13:25.029 --> 00:13:27.250 you don't expect the supernatural, you're weak 00:13:27.250 --> 00:13:29.490 in faith. If you don't look forward to the supernatural, 00:13:29.789 --> 00:13:32.889 you're weak in faith. So what do we do? We instruct 00:13:32.889 --> 00:13:36.490 you by the scriptures so that you become strong 00:13:36.490 --> 00:13:39.590 in your faith. You become strong in your faith. 00:13:39.690 --> 00:13:41.710 Now, when you see things out there and they say, 00:13:41.750 --> 00:13:44.370 oh, supernatural is taking place, don't be first 00:13:44.370 --> 00:13:48.190 as a believer. Don't be first. Let not your first 00:13:48.190 --> 00:13:52.269 position to say is not real. Don't do that. Right? 00:13:52.710 --> 00:13:55.909 Don't do that. It's like, For example, if you're 00:13:55.909 --> 00:14:00.490 in a family, right? You're in a family and there 00:14:00.490 --> 00:14:03.850 are... How can I put the illustration? You are 00:14:03.850 --> 00:14:06.389 in a family, right? And you have a big screen. 00:14:06.570 --> 00:14:09.230 You have a... Probably you have a big television 00:14:09.230 --> 00:14:12.009 in your house. And your television is actually 00:14:12.009 --> 00:14:15.110 a soft touch, right? You can touch it. You can, 00:14:15.169 --> 00:14:17.710 you know, flip it. You can connect it. So smart 00:14:17.710 --> 00:14:21.850 that it can actually communicate with you. Now, 00:14:21.889 --> 00:14:25.179 you have it in your house, okay? When you go 00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:29.759 out to somewhere, right, and someone puts a big 00:14:29.759 --> 00:14:32.440 screen, it's not soft touch. It's not anything, 00:14:32.620 --> 00:14:36.179 right? It's just a big screen that is not even 00:14:36.179 --> 00:14:38.320 smart. But the difference is that it does not 00:14:38.320 --> 00:14:39.960 have that big head. You know, television's big 00:14:39.960 --> 00:14:40.899 head. It does not have that power. It's just 00:14:40.899 --> 00:14:43.759 flat. And the person started touching it. Will 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.139 your first disposition be that it's a lie? Your 00:14:46.139 --> 00:14:48.440 first disposition will not be that that is not 00:14:48.440 --> 00:14:51.379 true. In fact, first, you will say, that is true. 00:14:51.480 --> 00:14:53.940 Why? Because you have the original in your house. 00:14:54.740 --> 00:14:57.899 Do we get it? Are we getting it? I'm painting 00:14:57.899 --> 00:15:00.519 something. Because you have the original in your 00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:04.440 house, right? When you see it, you will not say, 00:15:04.539 --> 00:15:06.740 oh, this is fake. No, no, no. You say, ah, no, 00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:09.840 these things happen. Now, when you now come close 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:13.039 and discern it, right? You now say, okay, this 00:15:13.039 --> 00:15:16.240 person is not being sincere. Right? But your 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.259 faith disposition is not that. It is not real. 00:15:20.399 --> 00:15:23.539 Okay? So you believe because these things are 00:15:23.539 --> 00:15:26.080 given. They happen in the scriptures. So when 00:15:26.080 --> 00:15:28.299 you see a supernatural take place, right? You 00:15:28.299 --> 00:15:30.480 just, okay, this thing happened, right? That 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.039 is one. That is one. I'm just giving us, there 00:15:33.039 --> 00:15:35.159 are many factors that you can take, but let your 00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:37.200 regular disposition. You know why? Because it 00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:40.179 will affect your faith. It will affect your faith. 00:15:40.259 --> 00:15:42.720 If you are commonly seeing the supernatural and 00:15:42.720 --> 00:15:45.240 you always say, erroneous. Sorry, I said erroneous. 00:15:45.360 --> 00:15:48.580 Say, it's a lie, right? Oh, you said this one 00:15:48.580 --> 00:15:50.940 there. No, no, no. Don't do that. Let your faith. 00:15:51.019 --> 00:15:53.299 Ah, I believe this thing happens, right? Then 00:15:53.299 --> 00:15:55.059 you can decide. You can check the person's knowledge. 00:15:55.120 --> 00:15:57.100 You can check it by scriptures. But your first 00:15:57.100 --> 00:15:59.240 position is that the supernatural, that is someone 00:15:59.240 --> 00:16:02.080 who's strong in faith. That's someone who's strong 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:04.480 in faith. Now, let's go to 2 Corinthians 4, 7. 00:16:04.659 --> 00:16:07.559 2 Corinthians 4, 7. So, we would increase in 00:16:07.559 --> 00:16:10.539 knowledge. And then we will be able to manifest 00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:14.879 the supernatural. 2 Corinthians 4, verse 7. It 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:18.320 said, but we have this treasure. Right? Let's 00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.580 read from verse 5. 2 Corinthians 4, verse 5. 00:16:21.799 --> 00:16:26.299 For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Christ 00:16:26.299 --> 00:16:29.860 as the Lord, with ourselves as your servants. 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:34.620 For Jesus' sake. For God who said, let light 00:16:34.620 --> 00:16:37.120 shine out of darkness as shone in our hearts. 00:16:37.789 --> 00:16:41.990 Okay, to give the lights of the knowledge of 00:16:41.990 --> 00:16:46.230 the glory of God in the face of Christ. Can you 00:16:46.230 --> 00:16:49.149 see what he's giving, right? He said, God who 00:16:49.149 --> 00:16:54.009 said, let light shine out of darkness has shone 00:16:54.009 --> 00:16:58.889 in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge 00:16:58.889 --> 00:17:02.450 of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 00:17:02.730 --> 00:17:05.430 So light has shone in our hearts. Hallelujah. 00:17:06.250 --> 00:17:09.769 Can we say light has shone in our hearts? Light 00:17:09.769 --> 00:17:13.549 has shone in our hearts. Yeah. Now, look at what 00:17:13.549 --> 00:17:16.230 he now says in verse 7. Actually, that's supernatural. 00:17:16.950 --> 00:17:19.890 That's supernatural. Calling light out of darkness, 00:17:20.109 --> 00:17:21.650 right? Calling light. That's supernatural. Now, 00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:23.650 let's see what he now says in verse 7. He says, 00:17:23.730 --> 00:17:28.829 but we have this treasure in jars of clay. So, 00:17:28.890 --> 00:17:31.190 this thing that is happening to the believer, 00:17:31.289 --> 00:17:35.690 right, is happening within this body. This light. 00:17:36.220 --> 00:17:39.900 is happening within this body, right? So we have 00:17:39.900 --> 00:17:43.319 this treasure in jars of clay to show the surpassing 00:17:43.319 --> 00:17:48.579 power belongs to God and not us. We have this 00:17:48.579 --> 00:17:52.079 treasure. We have the supernatural event. It 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:55.700 took place in us. It took place within us. Hallelujah. 00:17:56.339 --> 00:18:00.000 Are we together? So in this mortal body, there 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:02.619 is the supernatural. Can you say in this mortal 00:18:02.619 --> 00:18:06.789 body, there is the supernatural? And I'll manifest 00:18:06.789 --> 00:18:12.549 the supernatural. So be bold. Know that although 00:18:12.549 --> 00:18:17.049 this body is frail, is weak, is clay, like it 00:18:17.049 --> 00:18:20.609 says, but there's treasure inside. Okay? There's 00:18:20.609 --> 00:18:23.089 treasure inside of you. You must know that. There's 00:18:23.089 --> 00:18:24.849 treasure inside of you. Therefore, you should 00:18:24.849 --> 00:18:27.150 not be doubtful of the supernatural. You should 00:18:27.150 --> 00:18:30.089 not think that you cannot walk in the supernatural. 00:18:31.130 --> 00:18:35.890 You can. You can. Interestingly, those who do 00:18:35.890 --> 00:18:40.109 not even have the indwelling, indwelling is the 00:18:40.109 --> 00:18:44.049 spirit of God residing permanently in them, they 00:18:44.049 --> 00:18:47.809 walked in it. And they showed us a pattern that 00:18:47.809 --> 00:18:51.369 this is possible. And that was why I went to 00:18:51.369 --> 00:18:54.089 Exodus, right? I went to Exodus and I began to 00:18:54.089 --> 00:18:57.410 show us, right, how Moses walked in the supernatural, 00:18:57.670 --> 00:19:00.650 right? How Moses carried out the spectacular. 00:19:01.460 --> 00:19:03.539 Right? Through the supernatural power of God. 00:19:03.599 --> 00:19:06.259 So we checked Exodus 14. We checked Exodus 16. 00:19:06.980 --> 00:19:10.880 We also checked Exodus 17. I think we also checked 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.420 Numbers 21. Right? If you can check that, we 00:19:13.420 --> 00:19:15.720 checked Numbers 21. And I said that we'll come 00:19:15.720 --> 00:19:19.039 and check Kings today. And when we check Kings, 00:19:19.079 --> 00:19:21.500 we'll move a little bit into Old Testament. Into 00:19:21.500 --> 00:19:23.539 the New Testament, sorry. The New Testament. 00:19:23.599 --> 00:19:27.059 Now let's go to 1 Kings 17. 1 Kings 17. 1 Kings 00:19:27.059 --> 00:19:31.170 17. I think I explained this already. Now, let's 00:19:31.170 --> 00:19:33.809 read from verse 17. Let's read from verse 17. 00:19:34.509 --> 00:19:37.990 From verse 8 to verse 16 is an explanation of 00:19:37.990 --> 00:19:40.569 divine provision, right? A supernatural provision 00:19:40.569 --> 00:19:44.509 to a woman, right? Who is lack, who is in need, 00:19:44.730 --> 00:19:46.710 right? Someone who is in need, who is lacking. 00:19:46.769 --> 00:19:49.900 There's a supernatural provision. And this is 00:19:49.900 --> 00:19:52.500 a woman who has been in need and the prophet 00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:55.539 of God was sent to her and she both met her needs 00:19:55.539 --> 00:19:57.500 and the prophet of God needs, right? So their 00:19:57.500 --> 00:19:59.539 needs were met in that supernatural encounter. 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:04.900 Now look at verse 17. It says, After this, the 00:20:04.900 --> 00:20:07.720 son of the woman, the mistress of the house became 00:20:07.720 --> 00:20:12.920 healed and his illness was so severe that there 00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:16.680 was no breath left in him. And he said to Elijah, 00:20:32.870 --> 00:20:41.369 Have you brought calamity even upon the widow 00:20:41.369 --> 00:20:46.670 with whom I sojourned by killing her son? He 00:20:46.670 --> 00:20:48.349 strived himself upon the child three times and 00:20:48.349 --> 00:20:50.589 cried to the Lord. Oh, Lord, my God, let this 00:20:50.589 --> 00:20:54.569 child's life come into him again. And the Lord 00:20:54.569 --> 00:20:57.930 listened to the voice of Elijah and the life 00:20:57.930 --> 00:21:01.470 of the child came into him and it was revived. 00:21:02.109 --> 00:21:04.650 Hallelujah. Now, this is a supernatural event 00:21:04.650 --> 00:21:07.690 and we see something very practical there. Now, 00:21:07.690 --> 00:21:09.349 there's no doctrine that you can preach here 00:21:09.349 --> 00:21:12.369 and say anytime someone is sick, you lie down. 00:21:12.430 --> 00:21:13.990 No, no, no. It doesn't work like that, right? 00:21:15.539 --> 00:21:18.259 This is a supernatural, a one -time event, almost 00:21:18.259 --> 00:21:21.539 all across the scripture. But we see laying of 00:21:21.539 --> 00:21:24.880 hands in the act of apostles, right? We see laying 00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:27.119 of hands. We see physical contact with people 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:29.720 who are sick and they are healed. Now, one thing 00:21:29.720 --> 00:21:32.339 you would observe here is that the woman said, 00:21:32.579 --> 00:21:36.920 you have given me food, right? Is it that you 00:21:36.920 --> 00:21:41.119 have given me food now to take away my son? So, 00:21:41.140 --> 00:21:43.779 she is looking at, you have come now, you have 00:21:43.779 --> 00:21:47.640 done good. But now you are doing evil. Evil has 00:21:47.640 --> 00:21:51.019 come. Now, that is idolatry, right? It's the 00:21:51.019 --> 00:21:53.480 devil that does kind of a thing. You find it 00:21:53.480 --> 00:21:55.819 in idol worship where they can give you something 00:21:55.819 --> 00:21:58.140 and some part of your life is functioning and 00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.680 then another part of your life is going down, 00:22:00.740 --> 00:22:02.920 right? That's idolatry. God does not do that. 00:22:03.339 --> 00:22:05.819 God does not function like that. Now, what we 00:22:05.819 --> 00:22:10.420 see here is another supernatural, right? Disconnected 00:22:10.420 --> 00:22:13.039 from what had happened in the first time. So 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.440 it's not like, oh, because this has happened, 00:22:15.460 --> 00:22:18.460 then the child died. No, no. These are two different 00:22:18.460 --> 00:22:22.839 events in the same woman's life. She was in need. 00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.539 The prophet of God ministered. The son died. 00:22:26.680 --> 00:22:30.740 The prophet of God ministered. So in the supernatural, 00:22:31.000 --> 00:22:33.279 there's abundance and more than enough for you. 00:22:33.339 --> 00:22:35.920 It's not a one -time thing, okay? So it's not 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.380 like, oh, God has done one thing for you. Oh, 00:22:38.500 --> 00:22:41.200 you work in the supernatural in 1999. And now 00:22:41.200 --> 00:22:43.900 it's not there again. No. Or you begin to say, 00:22:43.980 --> 00:22:46.539 oh, because something has happened to me. Like 00:22:46.539 --> 00:22:48.519 she said, you have brought my sin to remembrance. 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:54.220 See, these are wrong perceptions about God. Right? 00:22:54.539 --> 00:22:58.400 So someone says, oh, because of my sin now, I 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:00.660 cannot walk in the supernatural again. Or supernatural 00:23:00.660 --> 00:23:05.000 cannot function for me. No. No. The believer 00:23:05.000 --> 00:23:06.839 has the capacity. And you see the man of God 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:09.460 ministering. So the supernatural is in abundance. 00:23:10.220 --> 00:23:12.599 for every believer. It's not a one -time thing. 00:23:13.099 --> 00:23:16.180 It's not something that God would do and something 00:23:16.180 --> 00:23:18.079 else evil would happen. You see the question 00:23:18.079 --> 00:23:22.400 Elijah had, Elijah asked, he said, I view, I 00:23:22.400 --> 00:23:24.299 would take that as a rhetorical question, right? 00:23:24.359 --> 00:23:27.559 I would take that as rhetoric, right? Asking, 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.220 is it possible for evil to come from God? And 00:23:30.220 --> 00:23:32.700 he said, he said no by actually saying, Lord, 00:23:32.859 --> 00:23:35.519 let the life return. So the supernatural is a 00:23:35.519 --> 00:23:37.160 bonus. It can happen to you several and several 00:23:37.160 --> 00:23:40.380 and several times in every circumstances, uniquely. 00:23:40.980 --> 00:23:44.400 Hallelujah. Let's go to 2 Kings 2, 14. We'll 00:23:44.400 --> 00:23:46.920 just read them, then I'll show something. 2 Kings 00:23:46.920 --> 00:23:50.740 2, verse 14. We saw something else there as well. 00:23:51.000 --> 00:23:57.319 2 Kings 2, verse 14. Then he took the cloak of 00:23:57.319 --> 00:23:59.359 Elijah that had fallen from him and struck the 00:23:59.359 --> 00:24:01.640 water, saying, Where is the Lord, the God of 00:24:01.640 --> 00:24:04.579 Elijah? And when... He had struck the water. 00:24:04.700 --> 00:24:07.900 The water was spattered to one side and to the 00:24:07.900 --> 00:24:12.539 other. And Elisha went over. He went over. 2 00:24:12.539 --> 00:24:15.140 Kings 2 verse 21. Just go to the same verse, 00:24:15.180 --> 00:24:18.420 same chapter, verse 21. Then he went to the spring 00:24:18.420 --> 00:24:21.660 of the water. This is another. Regularly taking 00:24:21.660 --> 00:24:24.640 place in the life of a man of God. So it's something 00:24:24.640 --> 00:24:27.440 regular. Then he went to the spring of the water 00:24:27.440 --> 00:24:30.299 and threw salt in it and said, So says the Lord, 00:24:30.319 --> 00:24:33.079 I have healed the water from now on. Neither 00:24:33.079 --> 00:24:37.500 debt nor miscarriage shall come from it. 2 Kings 00:24:37.500 --> 00:24:41.440 3, 17. Within a short period of time. So it is 00:24:41.440 --> 00:24:44.819 something normal that can happen. So we have 00:24:44.819 --> 00:24:47.200 to normalize it in our life that, yes, we can 00:24:47.200 --> 00:24:49.559 experience the supernatural power of God regularly. 00:24:50.000 --> 00:24:51.940 It's not only in Christmas, it's not only in 00:24:51.940 --> 00:24:54.839 Sunday service. For thus says the Lord, you shall 00:24:54.839 --> 00:24:58.140 not see the wind or the rain, but that stream 00:24:58.140 --> 00:25:02.000 shall be filled with water. so that you shall 00:25:02.000 --> 00:25:06.039 drink, and you, your livestock, and your animals. 00:25:06.640 --> 00:25:10.380 Another provision. Now let's go to Acts. Let 00:25:10.380 --> 00:25:13.140 me just read one scripture in Acts to corroborate 00:25:13.140 --> 00:25:16.680 with this. Go to Acts chapter 5. Acts chapter 00:25:16.680 --> 00:25:25.839 5 verse 12. It says, Now many signs and wonders. 00:25:25.960 --> 00:25:29.660 We're what? We're regularly what? Everybody, 00:25:29.700 --> 00:25:32.500 can we read that together? One, two, go. Now, 00:25:32.519 --> 00:25:37.200 many signs and wonders were regularly done among 00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.059 the people by the hands of the apostles. Does 00:25:41.059 --> 00:25:43.220 it relate to what we have been reading? Yes, 00:25:43.380 --> 00:25:48.180 regularly. Normal, they carry out signs and wonders, 00:25:48.279 --> 00:25:52.180 healing, deliverance. Hallelujah. Healing, deliverance 00:25:52.180 --> 00:25:55.680 taking place from the Old Testament into the 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.039 time of the apostles. So the supernatural is 00:25:59.039 --> 00:26:02.859 something that you can walk in. It's something 00:26:02.859 --> 00:26:08.119 that you can walk in. Let's now go to Matthew 00:26:08.119 --> 00:26:12.140 28. So we've seen people who does not have the 00:26:12.140 --> 00:26:14.940 Holy Ghost residing in them permanently, right? 00:26:15.019 --> 00:26:17.980 Carrying out and functioning in the supernatural 00:26:17.980 --> 00:26:24.640 and doing a lot. Matthew 28 from verse 16. Now 00:26:24.640 --> 00:26:27.690 the 11 disciples went to Galilee. to the mount 00:26:27.690 --> 00:26:30.670 to which Jesus had directed them. And when they 00:26:30.670 --> 00:26:33.109 saw him, they worshipped him, but some doubted. 00:26:33.170 --> 00:26:36.670 And Jesus came and said to them, All authority 00:26:36.670 --> 00:26:40.710 in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 00:26:41.730 --> 00:26:44.509 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, 00:26:44.730 --> 00:26:46.690 baptizing them in the name of the Father and 00:26:46.690 --> 00:26:48.990 of the Son and of the Holy Ghost, teaching them 00:26:48.990 --> 00:26:52.750 to observe all that I have commanded you. And 00:26:52.750 --> 00:26:56.490 behold, I am with you. to the end of the age. 00:26:56.670 --> 00:27:00.630 Hallelujah. I am with you to the end of the age. 00:27:00.730 --> 00:27:02.950 Now, the reason why I read this scripture is 00:27:02.950 --> 00:27:06.369 because some people used to say that, of course, 00:27:06.390 --> 00:27:09.170 the prophets did it, right? The prophet of the 00:27:09.170 --> 00:27:12.190 Old Testament did it. Jesus himself did it, which 00:27:12.190 --> 00:27:14.369 we are going to see in the book of Matthew. And 00:27:14.369 --> 00:27:19.009 the apostles did it. But they will say that this 00:27:19.009 --> 00:27:22.609 has ended, right? Please, let's concentrate, 00:27:22.690 --> 00:27:24.470 right? Let's look at this side. Now, he said 00:27:24.470 --> 00:27:26.730 that these, some people say, these things have 00:27:26.730 --> 00:27:30.269 ended. But here, Jesus says something. He said, 00:27:30.369 --> 00:27:35.250 I am with you, even towards to the end of the 00:27:35.250 --> 00:27:40.269 age. Are we together? So it means that if Jesus 00:27:40.269 --> 00:27:43.009 is working the supernatural, he is working in 00:27:43.009 --> 00:27:46.430 the supernatural in the believer. He's working 00:27:46.430 --> 00:27:50.140 out the supernatural through the believer. So 00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:52.259 I am with you to the end of the age, saying that 00:27:52.259 --> 00:27:56.339 you will continue to do the work that I've been 00:27:56.339 --> 00:27:58.680 doing. You will continue in these activities 00:27:58.680 --> 00:28:02.359 that I've been doing, that I've commenced. So 00:28:02.359 --> 00:28:04.940 because of God's presence in the life of the 00:28:04.940 --> 00:28:08.420 believer, right, the supernatural is possible. 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:11.220 Because of Christ's presence in the life of the 00:28:11.220 --> 00:28:15.039 believer, the supernatural... It's possible. 00:28:15.180 --> 00:28:18.180 The supernatural is possible because of Christ's 00:28:18.180 --> 00:28:21.660 presence in the life of the believer. Hallelujah. 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:24.680 Now, let's see how people actually receive the 00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:26.960 supernatural, right? Let's see how they... Now, 00:28:26.980 --> 00:28:30.420 the case of Elijah, the prophet was saint, right? 00:28:30.539 --> 00:28:33.140 The prophet was saint. God said, go there, you 00:28:33.140 --> 00:28:36.019 will find a woman, right? So by divine instruction, 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:39.740 people can receive the supernatural. By divine 00:28:39.740 --> 00:28:41.799 instruction. So that was what we saw in the case 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:44.920 of Elijah. Someone was instructed. So someone 00:28:44.920 --> 00:28:47.759 can receive the supernatural by divine instruction. 00:28:47.940 --> 00:28:51.759 Means a man of God was instructed, received a 00:28:51.759 --> 00:28:55.259 word, and therefore the person moved and approached 00:28:55.259 --> 00:28:59.000 you and laid hands on you. So the supernatural 00:28:59.000 --> 00:29:01.720 can be received by divine instruction. Someone 00:29:01.720 --> 00:29:05.680 received a word and moved and therefore the person 00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:08.839 received. Matthew 8. Let's go to Matthew 8. So 00:29:08.839 --> 00:29:11.099 first I say divine instruction we can receive. 00:29:11.380 --> 00:29:15.960 Matthew 8 verse 1 to 4. When he came down from 00:29:15.960 --> 00:29:18.559 the from the mountain great crowds followed him 00:29:18.559 --> 00:29:23.519 and a leper came to him and knelt before him 00:29:23.519 --> 00:29:27.799 saying Lord if you will you can make me clean. 00:29:28.380 --> 00:29:32.059 If you will you can make me clean and Jesus stretched 00:29:32.059 --> 00:29:37.640 out his hands and touched him saying I will be 00:29:37.640 --> 00:29:40.599 clean. And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. 00:29:40.700 --> 00:29:43.619 And Jesus said to him, See that you say nothing 00:29:43.619 --> 00:29:46.160 to anyone, but go show yourself to the priest 00:29:46.160 --> 00:29:49.339 and offer the gift that Moses commanded for a 00:29:49.339 --> 00:29:54.900 proof. For a proof. It is someone receiving the 00:29:54.900 --> 00:29:57.640 supernatural by asking. So you can ask. You can 00:29:57.640 --> 00:30:01.160 ask. Right? You can ask. You can ask. You can 00:30:01.160 --> 00:30:04.480 ask. You can say, Brother, I want to receive 00:30:04.480 --> 00:30:08.099 from you. You can ask, right? You can ask and 00:30:08.099 --> 00:30:10.539 someone can minister to you. You can ask for 00:30:10.539 --> 00:30:12.200 the supernatural, someone can minister to you. 00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:14.160 So you can ask. When we come together and we 00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:16.259 say we are ministering to each other, we are 00:30:16.259 --> 00:30:19.500 asking each other, can you minister to me? Don't 00:30:19.500 --> 00:30:22.180 forget we already saw that a believer's faith 00:30:22.180 --> 00:30:24.460 can be weak, right? A believer's faith can be 00:30:24.460 --> 00:30:25.960 weak. We saw it at some point in time. And we 00:30:25.960 --> 00:30:28.740 say knowledge will increase, right? And when 00:30:28.740 --> 00:30:30.099 the knowledge increases, the person becomes strong. 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:32.480 In this context, right, a believer's faith can 00:30:32.480 --> 00:30:35.259 be weak and you can say, please. I want to receive 00:30:35.259 --> 00:30:37.299 the supernatural by your ministration. And someone 00:30:37.299 --> 00:30:40.039 can minister to you. And you can receive the 00:30:40.039 --> 00:30:43.380 supernatural. Hallelujah. Say, I receive the 00:30:43.380 --> 00:30:47.720 supernatural by the ministration of my brothers 00:30:47.720 --> 00:30:53.660 and my sisters. Amen. Now let's go to verse 5. 00:30:53.779 --> 00:30:56.359 Let's continue from verse 5. So you can ask, 00:30:56.460 --> 00:30:59.059 you can seek, right? You can seek someone to 00:30:59.059 --> 00:31:19.759 lend to you. Now, verse 5 says, So Jesus said, 00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:22.900 well, the way you guys function here, right, 00:31:22.940 --> 00:31:25.400 is that you want me to be around, right? You 00:31:25.400 --> 00:31:27.319 want me to, you will see that that is the way 00:31:27.319 --> 00:31:28.799 they function. So Jesus said, I will come to 00:31:28.799 --> 00:31:31.359 the house, right? I will lay hands on the person. 00:31:31.819 --> 00:31:34.920 And the child will be healed. The master will 00:31:34.920 --> 00:31:38.559 be healed. But the centurion said, Lord, I am 00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.119 not worthy to have you under my roof. But only 00:31:41.119 --> 00:31:44.640 say the word. And my servant will be healed. 00:31:44.819 --> 00:31:50.039 For I too am a man under authority. With soldiers 00:31:50.039 --> 00:31:54.759 under me. And I say to one, go. And he goes. 00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.539 And I say to another, come. And he comes. And 00:31:58.539 --> 00:32:03.019 my servant. And to my servant. Do this. Sorry. 00:32:03.900 --> 00:32:06.420 So I said to one, go. And he goes. And to another, 00:32:06.579 --> 00:32:08.779 come. And he comes. And to my servant, do this. 00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:12.640 And he does it. And Jesus heard this. He marveled 00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.420 and said to those who followed him, Truly I tell 00:32:15.420 --> 00:32:18.960 you, there is no one in Israel have I found such 00:32:18.960 --> 00:32:21.279 faiths. Now, he's not talking about salvation 00:32:21.279 --> 00:32:24.700 here, okay? He's talking about the faiths to 00:32:24.700 --> 00:32:29.039 receive from Christ. This person showed a dimension 00:32:29.039 --> 00:32:32.539 of a faith to receive from Christ. And Christ 00:32:32.539 --> 00:32:35.819 was like, this is new in this environment. These 00:32:35.819 --> 00:32:37.660 people always want me to come into their house 00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:40.740 to lay hands on them. But this faith to receive 00:32:40.740 --> 00:32:43.039 from me, I haven't seen in this environment. 00:32:44.200 --> 00:32:49.880 So, it also means that we can have faith for 00:32:49.880 --> 00:32:53.359 healing. We can have faith for healing even when 00:32:53.359 --> 00:32:56.180 nobody is there and it will take place. That 00:32:56.180 --> 00:32:58.039 is the first thing. We can have faith. But let's 00:32:58.039 --> 00:33:00.440 see. He said, I tell you, many will come from 00:33:00.440 --> 00:33:02.500 the east and many will go, okay, I think we don't 00:33:02.500 --> 00:33:04.720 need to read that, right? The emphasis here is 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:07.599 actually the faith. The faith of this man, the 00:33:07.599 --> 00:33:11.119 believing was sufficient to heal his master. 00:33:12.019 --> 00:33:15.880 All right. So faith is another way, right? You 00:33:15.880 --> 00:33:18.980 have a healing to receive faith. Now, verse 13. 00:33:19.200 --> 00:33:22.299 Let's see verse 13. Okay, that's the conclusion 00:33:22.299 --> 00:33:25.140 of this. And to the centurion, Jesus said, go. 00:33:25.599 --> 00:33:29.119 Let it be done for you as you have once believed. 00:33:30.339 --> 00:33:33.539 So certain things will be done in your life according 00:33:33.539 --> 00:33:36.920 to your belief, right? Certain things will be 00:33:36.920 --> 00:33:41.000 done according to your belief. So your faith 00:33:41.000 --> 00:33:43.680 to receive healing. Faith to receive healing. 00:33:43.740 --> 00:33:45.759 So you can seek, you can ask someone, you can 00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:49.220 exercise faith and you can receive healing. Matthew 00:33:49.220 --> 00:33:54.829 8, verse 14 to 15. And when Jesus entered Peter's 00:33:54.829 --> 00:33:58.829 house, he saw his mother -in -law lying sick 00:33:58.829 --> 00:34:02.450 with a fever and he touched her and the fever 00:34:02.450 --> 00:34:06.829 left her and she rose and began to serve him. 00:34:07.470 --> 00:34:11.329 This one is not somebody requesting. This one 00:34:11.329 --> 00:34:17.289 is not somebody expressing faith, right? But 00:34:17.289 --> 00:34:21.429 it's Christ himself seeing a situation and intervening. 00:34:21.869 --> 00:34:24.690 So as a believer, because you walk in the supernatural, 00:34:24.809 --> 00:34:28.050 you will find people who are sick and you can 00:34:28.050 --> 00:34:30.389 intervene and touch them and they will be healed, 00:34:30.590 --> 00:34:32.550 right? You don't need to be told, you don't need 00:34:32.550 --> 00:34:34.269 to be, someone doesn't need to ask you, right? 00:34:34.309 --> 00:34:38.110 When you see a situation as chaos, which is sickness, 00:34:38.329 --> 00:34:41.110 you can lay hands on the person and the person 00:34:41.110 --> 00:34:43.630 will be healed. The person will be healed. So 00:34:43.630 --> 00:34:46.789 by laying of hands, by touching, we can see healing 00:34:46.789 --> 00:34:49.510 taking place. We can see healing taking place. 00:34:50.500 --> 00:34:55.219 Matthew 9, 27 to 29. And as Jesus passed on from 00:34:55.219 --> 00:34:57.699 there, two blind men followed him, crying aloud, 00:34:57.960 --> 00:35:01.760 Have mercy on us, son of David. Yeah, this one 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:04.920 is very, very crucial. When he entered the house, 00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:08.119 the blind men came to him. And Jesus said to 00:35:08.119 --> 00:35:10.280 them, Do you believe that I'm able to do this? 00:35:10.420 --> 00:35:13.059 They said to him, Yes. Then he touched their 00:35:13.059 --> 00:35:15.619 eyes. So two things there. They believed, they 00:35:15.619 --> 00:35:17.920 exercised faith and healing. And Jesus did what? 00:35:18.059 --> 00:35:21.869 He touched their eyes. And what happened? He 00:35:21.869 --> 00:35:24.809 said, according to your faith, be it done to 00:35:24.809 --> 00:35:27.110 you. And their eyes were opened and Jesus tenderly 00:35:27.110 --> 00:35:29.010 warned them. See that no one knows about this 00:35:29.010 --> 00:35:33.409 and all of that. Do you realize that they gave 00:35:33.409 --> 00:35:35.489 a revelation that is not complete about Jesus? 00:35:35.769 --> 00:35:37.909 Do you realize? What did they call Jesus? Son 00:35:37.909 --> 00:35:41.190 of David, right? Isn't he the son of David? Verse 00:35:41.190 --> 00:35:45.769 27. He said, have mercy on us. Who? Son of David. 00:35:46.250 --> 00:35:48.489 You know, there used to be a time before knowledge 00:35:48.489 --> 00:35:51.099 came that I used to use this prayer. Let's ask 00:35:51.099 --> 00:35:56.280 Son of David. You know, in some places we all 00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.840 come from, Son of David, you have to call it 00:35:59.840 --> 00:36:02.760 and it will invoke that power that happened on 00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:06.559 that day. And something will happen. They actually 00:36:06.559 --> 00:36:08.179 gave a revelation that is not complete about 00:36:08.179 --> 00:36:11.119 Christ. But that did not stop the supernatural. 00:36:11.500 --> 00:36:14.170 Hallelujah. Because they believe in the healing 00:36:14.170 --> 00:36:18.090 power of Christ, right? Although they were not 00:36:18.090 --> 00:36:20.409 completing knowledge, it means that they had 00:36:20.409 --> 00:36:22.750 no precise knowledge about Christ, right? They 00:36:22.750 --> 00:36:25.269 had no precise knowledge about, but they knew 00:36:25.269 --> 00:36:29.030 something about him that he has the power to 00:36:29.030 --> 00:36:31.909 heal them, right? So even you as the believer, 00:36:32.010 --> 00:36:34.070 you might not have a precise knowledge. You might 00:36:34.070 --> 00:36:35.650 not have incomplete, you know, you might not 00:36:35.650 --> 00:36:37.250 have the accurate knowledge about everything, 00:36:37.409 --> 00:36:40.570 right? Or is anyone here has gone through the 00:36:40.570 --> 00:36:42.269 scripture back to back and you know everything 00:36:42.269 --> 00:36:46.210 now, right? You know everything, line by line. 00:36:46.789 --> 00:36:49.670 No, we are still learning, right? We learn every 00:36:49.670 --> 00:36:53.489 day. Does that stop you from administering healing? 00:36:54.190 --> 00:36:57.250 Does that stop you from receiving the supernatural? 00:36:57.550 --> 00:37:02.769 No, no, it does not. It does not. The faith to 00:37:02.769 --> 00:37:06.769 receive from Christ was sufficient and they received. 00:37:07.190 --> 00:37:11.170 See, even the unbelievers would receive from 00:37:11.170 --> 00:37:14.389 you when they come around you and they believe 00:37:14.389 --> 00:37:17.269 in the power that is at work in you. They can 00:37:17.269 --> 00:37:20.210 receive. If you check the house of apostles, 00:37:20.329 --> 00:37:22.750 those guys that were sitting at the gates, he 00:37:22.750 --> 00:37:24.510 didn't say whether they were believers or not. 00:37:24.909 --> 00:37:27.269 Just looking at them, okay, let's go there. Let's 00:37:27.269 --> 00:37:29.369 check. He had no information about him. He just 00:37:29.369 --> 00:37:31.150 looked at them and know that these guys have 00:37:31.150 --> 00:37:35.250 been doing something in this town. And he wasn't 00:37:35.250 --> 00:37:37.909 even looking for... healing was thinking about 00:37:37.909 --> 00:37:39.789 something else was looking for something else 00:37:39.789 --> 00:37:43.309 right so let's see from that's acts chapter 5 00:37:43.309 --> 00:37:46.650 from verse 12 let's see is that acts chapter 00:37:46.650 --> 00:37:51.570 5 it's 3 right yes act chapter 3 let's go to 00:37:51.570 --> 00:37:54.650 act chapter 3 yes act chapter 3 he said now peter 00:37:54.650 --> 00:37:56.789 and john we are going up to the temple at the 00:37:56.789 --> 00:38:00.510 hour of prayer the night hour and a lame man 00:38:00.510 --> 00:38:04.139 from birth was being carried whom they laid daily 00:38:04.139 --> 00:38:06.059 at the gate of the temple that is called the 00:38:06.059 --> 00:38:09.480 beautiful gate to ask for alms. Of those entering 00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:13.219 the temple, seeing Peter and John about to go 00:38:13.219 --> 00:38:15.980 into the temple, he asked for what? He asked 00:38:15.980 --> 00:38:19.239 to receive alms, right? And Peter directed his 00:38:19.239 --> 00:38:23.199 gaze at him. As did John and said, look at us. 00:38:23.380 --> 00:38:25.699 And he fixed his attention to them, expected 00:38:25.699 --> 00:38:28.039 to receive something from them. But Peter said, 00:38:28.179 --> 00:38:33.929 I have no silver and gold. But what I do have, 00:38:34.050 --> 00:38:37.369 I give you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 00:38:37.550 --> 00:38:42.610 I rise up and walk. Rise up and what? And walk. 00:38:42.949 --> 00:38:45.329 Right? So there's no description of whether this 00:38:45.329 --> 00:38:47.929 guy, this guy was just looking, in fact, he wasn't 00:38:47.929 --> 00:38:50.630 even expecting healing. It was just the apostles. 00:38:51.010 --> 00:38:52.710 Because they had nothing to give and all that 00:38:52.710 --> 00:38:55.929 they could have, all they had, was the power 00:38:55.929 --> 00:38:58.789 of God in them. Right? They were not... rich 00:38:58.789 --> 00:39:01.909 folks who had some luxury, who had sufficient 00:39:01.909 --> 00:39:05.110 to, you know, just build a house for the guy. 00:39:05.250 --> 00:39:08.849 But what they had was more important than what 00:39:08.849 --> 00:39:12.349 they did not have. What they had was more important 00:39:12.349 --> 00:39:15.510 than what they did not have. And he said, rise 00:39:15.510 --> 00:39:21.170 and walk. So, he received from what the apostles 00:39:21.170 --> 00:39:22.949 had. And we can say that, you know, this guy 00:39:22.949 --> 00:39:25.349 Nebra does not record of where he said, I believe. 00:39:25.670 --> 00:39:28.219 Right? Where he said, I believe. Now let's see, 00:39:28.300 --> 00:39:30.599 let's see one of the scriptures. Back to Matthew 00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:36.519 8. Matthew 8. Matthew 8. Let's continue in that 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:41.139 same line. Matthew chapter 8. Let's go to Matthew 00:39:41.139 --> 00:39:44.099 9 verse 18. Go to Matthew 9 verse 18, sorry. 00:39:44.440 --> 00:39:47.260 Matthew 9 verse 18. I think it has a corresponding 00:39:47.260 --> 00:39:50.099 scripture in Luke 8. So we'll read it together. 00:39:50.679 --> 00:39:53.420 While he was saying these things to them, behold, 00:39:53.699 --> 00:39:56.579 a ruler came in and knelt before him saying, 00:39:56.679 --> 00:40:00.000 my daughter has just died, but come and lay your 00:40:00.000 --> 00:40:02.460 hands on her and she will live. You see that 00:40:02.460 --> 00:40:04.420 is a pattern. It's a pattern they believe when 00:40:04.420 --> 00:40:06.280 Christ lay hands, they'll be healed, right? Some 00:40:06.280 --> 00:40:08.280 people believe just by faith and they will look 00:40:08.280 --> 00:40:11.380 at something else happening similar to the fate 00:40:11.380 --> 00:40:14.440 of the centurion. And behold, a woman who had 00:40:14.440 --> 00:40:17.320 suffered from a discharge of blood for 12 years 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:38.809 came up behind him. And that a person exercising 00:40:38.809 --> 00:40:42.010 faith, right? This one is not waiting for Christ 00:40:42.010 --> 00:40:45.429 to touch her, right? She just said, if I myself, 00:40:45.750 --> 00:40:49.030 right, could touch him. I will be healed. And 00:40:49.030 --> 00:40:52.210 she was healed at that moment. Now, this was 00:40:52.210 --> 00:40:54.309 Jesus going somewhere to actually administer 00:40:54.309 --> 00:40:56.349 healing. He was actually going somewhere. It 00:40:56.349 --> 00:40:59.030 wasn't even for her, right? It wasn't even, he 00:40:59.030 --> 00:41:01.469 never planned her. But because of her faith, 00:41:01.670 --> 00:41:05.449 that if I, that could be an affirmation that 00:41:05.449 --> 00:41:08.730 you keep saying, right? When we come here, we 00:41:08.730 --> 00:41:10.570 say affirmation at the end of service, don't 00:41:10.570 --> 00:41:12.610 take them for granted. The words are powerful 00:41:12.610 --> 00:41:17.059 on your lips. They can or they will put you into 00:41:17.059 --> 00:41:19.860 the supernatural as you move in the week. This 00:41:19.860 --> 00:41:22.400 is what she was just saying. If I will just touch 00:41:22.400 --> 00:41:25.099 him. And this is not because she just came. She 00:41:25.099 --> 00:41:27.599 has heard about Christ. She has been following. 00:41:28.099 --> 00:41:30.699 She's in the crowds. Means that she had heard 00:41:30.699 --> 00:41:33.019 many testimonies about Christ. And Ahonu is, 00:41:33.139 --> 00:41:36.920 if I will just lay my hands. And she kept saying 00:41:36.920 --> 00:41:40.599 that until she did it. And she received healing. 00:41:41.389 --> 00:41:44.429 So faith, we are seeing faith for healing here. 00:41:44.530 --> 00:41:47.650 Supernatural faith, healing. Let's go to Luke 00:41:47.650 --> 00:41:52.289 chapter 8 and just see, I mean, a connection 00:41:52.289 --> 00:41:55.230 with these. And I'll just say a few things. Luke 00:41:55.230 --> 00:42:01.469 chapter 8, Luke chapter 8, verse 46. Now from 00:42:01.469 --> 00:42:05.869 verse 43. And there was a woman who had a discharge. 00:42:05.969 --> 00:42:09.559 The same story. of blood for 12 years. And though 00:42:09.559 --> 00:42:14.820 she spent all her living on physicians, she could 00:42:14.820 --> 00:42:18.739 not be healed by anyone. Now, let me say something, 00:42:18.880 --> 00:42:22.119 right? Let me say something to us. We are, I 00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:24.139 mean, we've said it several times that the supernatural, 00:42:24.539 --> 00:42:26.619 right, and the doctors, they are not against 00:42:26.619 --> 00:42:29.130 each other. Are we together? We have said it, 00:42:29.150 --> 00:42:31.789 that the doctors and the supernatural healing, 00:42:31.969 --> 00:42:33.849 they are not against each other. They work hand 00:42:33.849 --> 00:42:36.250 in hand, right? We see the apostles when they 00:42:36.250 --> 00:42:39.289 go, they also use oil as a means of healing, 00:42:39.389 --> 00:42:43.250 right? Now, it would just be more appropriate 00:42:43.250 --> 00:42:47.389 or it would be a proper alignment that when anything 00:42:47.389 --> 00:42:50.469 happens in your life, right, the first is the 00:42:50.469 --> 00:42:53.269 supernatural. So your first source of healing 00:42:53.269 --> 00:42:56.269 is the supernatural. Are we together? So when 00:42:56.269 --> 00:43:00.409 you fall sick, first is not, oh, the doctor. 00:43:00.630 --> 00:43:02.829 What if the doctor doesn't have what to give 00:43:02.829 --> 00:43:06.610 you? So first, supernatural. Then you go for 00:43:06.610 --> 00:43:09.590 the doctor. We prioritize the supernatural. That 00:43:09.590 --> 00:43:11.369 is what we are doing because that is from there 00:43:11.369 --> 00:43:14.130 the healing begins. So she says she has spent 00:43:14.130 --> 00:43:16.929 all her what? All her living. Don't spend all 00:43:16.929 --> 00:43:18.710 your living on physicians before you believe 00:43:18.710 --> 00:43:21.469 in the supernatural. Okay? Don't spend all your 00:43:21.469 --> 00:43:24.809 living on physicians first. Believe in the supernatural. 00:43:25.400 --> 00:43:27.340 then you can approach the physician. You know, 00:43:27.360 --> 00:43:29.619 I've shared a testimony in this church, right, 00:43:29.699 --> 00:43:33.639 of how I came here. I actually shared a testimony, 00:43:33.739 --> 00:43:35.599 and I'm going to say it, right. So I was prayed 00:43:35.599 --> 00:43:39.039 for by the pastors, and I had an issue, right, 00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:44.019 with stones. And I felt within me when they prayed 00:43:44.019 --> 00:43:47.440 that that stone was gone. I knew that kingdom 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:50.340 stone was gone. I knew it. I was so sure. And 00:43:50.340 --> 00:43:53.400 I came here, and I shared the testimony. So in 00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:56.210 the course of the week, I kept observing my body. 00:43:57.050 --> 00:43:59.369 I drank enough. I went to see the physician. 00:43:59.929 --> 00:44:03.530 I drank enough water. It moved a little bit. 00:44:04.630 --> 00:44:08.090 But I knew from the day the pastor prayed that 00:44:08.090 --> 00:44:10.289 I've received my healing. So I kept sharing that 00:44:10.289 --> 00:44:12.389 this stone is gone. This stone is gone. This 00:44:12.389 --> 00:44:14.769 stone is gone. But while I was sharing, I was 00:44:14.769 --> 00:44:18.530 also checking. Okay? I want to get a report that 00:44:18.530 --> 00:44:22.130 says it's gone. So... I kept drinking water. 00:44:22.130 --> 00:44:23.849 I followed all the instructions. And at some 00:44:23.849 --> 00:44:26.110 point, the doctor said, okay, this is what you 00:44:26.110 --> 00:44:29.150 have to do to get this thing out. Right? And 00:44:29.150 --> 00:44:31.389 I said, okay. I called pastors. Okay, the doctor 00:44:31.389 --> 00:44:34.710 said they want to do their own part. And I was 00:44:34.710 --> 00:44:37.650 admitted. And I was kicked out. Right? It was 00:44:37.650 --> 00:44:40.309 what? Kicked out in the easiest possible way. 00:44:41.190 --> 00:44:43.409 Now, there are stories of people who go through 00:44:43.409 --> 00:44:45.690 that process. And it wasn't as easy as mine. 00:44:46.869 --> 00:44:49.389 Right? There are people who went through that 00:44:49.389 --> 00:44:52.920 process. And they had to keep going for it every 00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:57.340 three months. So my faith in the supernatural 00:44:57.340 --> 00:45:00.599 had already made me whole. And I allowed the 00:45:00.599 --> 00:45:02.420 doctors to do their job. So while we're preaching 00:45:02.420 --> 00:45:05.500 this, we are also saying that there are things 00:45:05.500 --> 00:45:08.260 in the natural like torch, like drinking, like 00:45:08.260 --> 00:45:11.239 rubbing, that works as well as supernatural. 00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:14.639 But we don't want you to, first of all, right? 00:45:15.139 --> 00:45:17.780 Because it's a matter of faith. You can put your 00:45:17.780 --> 00:45:20.320 faith in the doctor. right the doctor give you 00:45:20.320 --> 00:45:23.420 the i don't know they give you the is it the 00:45:23.420 --> 00:45:25.460 easiest way for them to deal with your problem 00:45:25.460 --> 00:45:27.579 right easiest way for them to deal with your 00:45:27.579 --> 00:45:29.639 problem so let's go back to the scriptures he 00:45:29.639 --> 00:45:32.199 said she could not be healed by anyone and she 00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:33.900 came up behind him and touched the friend of 00:45:33.900 --> 00:45:36.599 his garment and immediately the discharge of 00:45:36.599 --> 00:45:38.840 the blood seized so you have to join the accounts 00:45:38.840 --> 00:45:41.480 together one says she was saying in her mouth 00:45:41.480 --> 00:45:45.500 right and this one skip that and emphasize the 00:45:45.500 --> 00:45:48.730 touching and The end point was that they were 00:45:48.730 --> 00:45:53.289 what? The blood seized. And Jesus asked, who 00:45:53.289 --> 00:45:58.070 touched me? And all the night, Peter said, Master, 00:45:58.309 --> 00:46:01.369 the crowd surround you and are pressing on you. 00:46:02.429 --> 00:46:05.670 And Jesus said, someone touched me and I perceive 00:46:05.670 --> 00:46:10.349 that power had gone out from me. And when the 00:46:10.349 --> 00:46:16.739 woman saw that she was not, when she saw... And 00:46:16.739 --> 00:46:19.719 when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she 00:46:19.719 --> 00:46:22.119 came trembling and fell down before him and declared 00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:24.699 in the presence of people why she had touched 00:46:24.699 --> 00:46:30.199 him. So we see faith again. Faith again. It means 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:34.119 that as Christ was there, the healing power went 00:46:34.119 --> 00:46:37.840 from him and she received healing. So as a believer 00:46:37.840 --> 00:46:41.650 too, Right? It is possible that healing power 00:46:41.650 --> 00:46:44.489 can be administered from you to someone. Right? 00:46:44.530 --> 00:46:46.070 We used to use this thing for prayer. I think 00:46:46.070 --> 00:46:48.389 we just need to stop it. And, you know, when 00:46:48.389 --> 00:46:50.309 Pastor finished preaching, he said, virtue has 00:46:50.309 --> 00:46:53.630 been released and more virtue should be put. 00:46:54.090 --> 00:46:55.829 There's a way we put it. Please, let's not say 00:46:55.829 --> 00:46:59.869 that again. Actually, it doesn't deplete. Okay? 00:46:59.949 --> 00:47:02.570 So, the power does not deplete. Right? So, if 00:47:02.570 --> 00:47:04.590 I share my ministration with you, if I minister 00:47:04.590 --> 00:47:07.739 to you, there's no depletion in me. It's always 00:47:07.739 --> 00:47:10.340 like that, right? Do you get it? It's a sharing. 00:47:10.619 --> 00:47:13.860 It's not like I remove some part of my power 00:47:13.860 --> 00:47:17.179 and I give you. So when you have to, you have 00:47:17.179 --> 00:47:19.380 to now pray for me, right? For that power to 00:47:19.380 --> 00:47:21.500 come, right? No, no. The power does not deplete. 00:47:21.579 --> 00:47:24.760 So it stays there permanently. So therefore, 00:47:24.820 --> 00:47:27.019 if you heal one person, another person comes, 00:47:27.199 --> 00:47:30.599 the person can receive. Right? You don't have 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:33.019 to go through anything. And if someone also preaches, 00:47:33.179 --> 00:47:36.280 when a pastor preaches, we will not say, virtue 00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.460 has been released and let it be returned. No, 00:47:38.480 --> 00:47:40.699 no, no. There are prayers in Ephesians that we 00:47:40.699 --> 00:47:42.960 need to use, right? So when power is regular, 00:47:43.119 --> 00:47:45.719 in your life, power is regularly released. Hallelujah. 00:47:46.260 --> 00:47:49.679 Say, in my life, power is regularly released 00:47:49.679 --> 00:47:52.139 for the demonstration of the supernatural. You 00:47:52.139 --> 00:47:54.400 are always full of power. You are always full 00:47:54.400 --> 00:47:58.630 of power. So therefore, there is no time. that 00:47:58.630 --> 00:48:01.210 you cannot administer the supernatural. Right? 00:48:01.530 --> 00:48:06.389 You are always full of what? Of power. So believe 00:48:06.389 --> 00:48:09.570 it that you can walk in the supernatural. I don't 00:48:09.570 --> 00:48:11.250 know what kind of sickness, I don't know what 00:48:11.250 --> 00:48:14.030 kind of challenges you have been facing, but 00:48:14.030 --> 00:48:16.710 believe in the supernatural. You will see it. 00:48:17.030 --> 00:48:21.250 It will manifest. It will manifest. We've seen 00:48:21.250 --> 00:48:23.969 people believe. So you can receive through instructions. 00:48:24.570 --> 00:48:28.110 You can receive when you're sick. You can receive 00:48:28.110 --> 00:48:31.469 exercising your faith. You can receive when hands 00:48:31.469 --> 00:48:35.409 are laid on you. You can also receive when people 00:48:35.409 --> 00:48:38.630 bring, when people exercise faith for you. Right? 00:48:38.650 --> 00:48:40.309 It means they bring you into the gathering of 00:48:40.309 --> 00:48:43.670 the brethren. You can receive the supernatural 00:48:43.670 --> 00:48:47.389 and divine manifestation of the power of God. 00:48:50.230 --> 00:48:53.500 We appreciate you being here today.
