Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.
Make sure to stay with us till the end, where
we'll share some great resources to deepen your
faith. Now, let's dive into this week's sermon.
1 Corinthians chapter 12. 1 Corinthians chapter
12 from verse 1. Please let's pay attention to
the reading of the word. Now concerning spirituals,
brethren, I will not have you ignorant. So concerning
the things that pertain to the Holy Ghost, I
will not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were
Gentiles carried away unto these dumb idols,
even as ye were led. So he was referring to about
their past life before they got saved, right?
He said, wherefore, I give you to understand
that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth
Jesus accursed. And we say Holy Ghost meetings
are meetings where things are being spoken. The
Spirit of God has been given to us, we said on
Sunday, that we may become speaking spirits.
Hallelujah. We may become speaking spirits. Last
few meetings, we said that we have the Spirit
of God dwelling in us. We are spiritual. And
when we say we are spiritual, what we mean is
that we have the Spirit of God dwelling in us.
We have the Spirit of God dwelling in us. We
read in Corinthians also that our body is the
temple of the Holy Ghost, right? So it's a no
man speaking by the Spirit of God. So a man will
speak by the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God
will be dwelling in us, is dwelling in us, and
then he speaks through us. The Spirit of God
speaks through you. I need to emphasize that.
The Spirit of God speaks through you. The Spirit
of God speaks through you. He does not only dwell
in your inside, but he also, what? Speaks through
you. Hallelujah. And then he said, call it Jesus.
No man can say that Jesus is Lord. You see another
saying again, but by the Holy Ghost. Four. Now
there are diversities of gifts, but the same
Spirit. And there are differences of administrations,
but the same Lord. And there are diversities
of operations, but it is the same God who worketh
all in all. Verse 7, everybody now. But the manifestation
of the Spirit. That word manifestation there
is phanerosis. From the root word pheno, right?
Phanerosis, P -H -A -N -E -R -O -S -I -A. P -H
-A -N -E -R -O -S -I -S is from the root word
phaino, P -H -A -I -N -O. And what does it mean?
It means to make something visible, to shed light
on something, having an evidence to show for
something. Something that meets the eye. That
let the eye see it. Manifestation. Something
that is seen. Is not hidden. So we have the spirit
of God in us. But do you know brethren. That
the spirit of God. Cannot be hidden in us. There
are certain activities. Demonstrations. Operations
of the spirit of God. In the believer. which
we are going to continue reading now, that should
not be hidden. It should meet the eye. When people
come around you, they know that these things
are visible. That's another word for pheno. Visible.
Visible. Visible is not hidden. Shedding light
on something. To appear, to be seen. Amen? He
said, but the manifestation of the Spirit, can
you see? He said that the manifestation of the
Spirit, if we use that word there, the evidence
of the Spirit, the visibility of the Spirit.
So the things of the Spirit are visible in the
believer. Hallelujah. This thing must stay with
us because in coming weeks into Catatismus, these
are some of the realities that we're going to
walk inside. That the things of the spirit in
the believer are what? Are visible. Hallelujah.
They are visible. They are to be seen. They are
not to be hidden. The prophetic is to be seen.
Word of wisdom is to be seen. Word of knowledge
is to be seen. Gift of healing is to be seen.
Gift of faith is to be seen. Tongues is to be
seen. Hallelujah. Interpretation of tongues is
to be seen. Designing of spirit is to be seen.
Evidence. You know. He says, giving to every
man to do what? To profit all. To profit with
all. For to one is given by the Spirit the word
of wisdom, to another word of knowledge by the
same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit,
to another the gift of healing by the same Spirit,
to another the working of miracles, to another
prophecy, to another designing of Spirit, to
another diverse kinds of tongues, to another
the interpretation of tongues. But all this...
All these gifts work at that one and self -same
spirit, dividing to every man severally as what?
As he will. Hallelujah. So the man wills them.
The man wills them because the spirit of God
has given the man all the gifts. Praise God.
But the manifestation, that's the word there.
The manifestation, the demonstration, the visibility
of the gifts. Hallelujah. You see, the more the
believer makes them visible, let me say this
word, he becomes profitable to the local church.
He profits. He profits the local church. He profits
his brother. He brings direction to his brother.
He brings increase. In fact, that word profit
all is to make advantage. You bring advantage.
You become an advantage to the local church.
You become an advantage to your brother. You
become an advantage to your husband. You become
an advantage to your wife. You become an advantage
to your sister and to your brother. We pray the
prayer now. You know, thank you, Sister Judith,
for that, right? That's one which we will look
at it. But when we come to the program, more
I believe that there will be lots of teachings
that are going to build on it. You cannot make
manifest these gifts of the Holy Ghost without
love. Hallelujah. That love drives each and every
one of them. So the visibility, the proof, the
evidence, all of them have been driven through
love. I bring prophets to the local church because
of what? I'm walking in love. I bring profit
to my sisters and brothers because I'm walking
in love. So let me say directly that is that
manifesting the gifts of the Holy Ghost is walking
in love. Praise God. He's walking in love. And
let me say the other way around. Refusing to
manifest the gifts of the Holy Ghost is not walking
in love. And the Spirit of God has been given
to the believer not to be hidden. So the believer
should not always act on his will to restrict
and limit the manifestation of the Spirit through
his life. So what is the Holy Ghost meeting?
In the last time we met, we said two things are
happening in the Holy Ghost meeting. That the
Word of God is given first place in teaching
and preaching. The word of God is given first
place in teaching and preaching. The word of
God is given first place in teaching and preaching.
Let me repeat myself. In Holy Ghost meetings,
the word of God is given first place in teaching
and preaching. So important. Because the foundation
for the demonstration and manifestation of the
gifts of the Holy Ghost are all from God's words.
Let me say it again. There is no manifestation
that you see that is outside God's words. If
you see a manifestation and you see a demonstration
that is not in God's words, then that is a demonic
manifestation you are seeing. Because God's words
gives life, validates every manifestation you
see. So the Holy Spirit cannot act out of God's
words. The Holy Ghost cannot manifest apart God's
Word. It's not possible. In fact, let me say
it this way, that the teaching and preaching
of God's Word automatically is a manifestation
of the Spirit of God. So we don't need to start
seeing the prophetic flow. We don't need to start
seeing eyes open. We don't need to start. The
moment you begin to hear teachings are given,
the Holy Ghost is already manifesting. You see,
so that does not give you the option to choose
the things. Some people come to church to choose
the part of service they want. They say, me,
you know, I don't like that preaching time. I
like the worship time because that is when the
spirit moves me. You are lying. You know me,
I don't like, I just like that prayer time. For
every other thing, I shut down. You see, if you
understand meetings in the local church, you
will know that the Holy Ghost is manifesting
in all the meetings that we gather. Every meeting
we gather, the Spirit of God is manifesting.
So you don't choose which meetings as it were,
or rather participate in all meetings. So teaching
and preaching, important. We took time and talked
about teaching meetings. And we read Acts chapter
10, verse 34 and 46. One of the things we got
from that place is that the teaching of God's
word gives back to the demonstration of the things
of the spirit. Hallelujah. The teaching of God's
word. While he yet spake, that's what the scripture
says, the Holy Ghost fell on all of them. Praise
God. In cataclysmos, what will be happening is
that while the teaching is yet ongoing, that
the Holy Ghost will be falling on many. Hallelujah.
We're going to be seeing so much demonstration
without necessarily time given for different
instructions will be given. The eyes of many
will be open. People will see by the Spirit.
People will hear by the Spirit as the teaching
is going on. There's no yet any call made or
any instruction given as it were for us to edify
each other in the prophetic or in spiritual songs
or in word of knowledge or in word of wisdom.
As the teaching is coming, hallelujah, that we
are going to be seeing so much sharing happening.
And the spirit of God is moving across everywhere.
The atmosphere, the presence of God, glory clouds
everywhere. Where people are set up, convictions
are set up, you know, much more passion is set
up in the hearts of people. People are being
convinced about the call of God in their lives.
And after the meeting, we're going to see people
testify and say, sir, you know, during the teaching,
as the teaching was going on, the Holy Ghost
was working out a whole lot in my heart. Suddenly
my eyes opened and I saw A land. And I saw a
place. And I saw a group of people. And I heard
the voice of God in my heart. Saying that these
are the things I want you to do. As the teaching
is going on. That's what happened in Acts chapter
10. And we read about Jesus also. As Jesus was
teaching. The power of God was what? Was available.
Was present to heal. He wasn't healing yet. He
was just what? Teaching. Let me say this. Teaching
and preaching is as powerful as the manifestation
of the prophetic. Teaching and preaching is as
powerful as word of wisdom. Teaching and preaching
is as powerful. So don't say, hey, me, I'm waiting
for, you know, I'm waiting for the time of power.
So we see the word of God giving first place.
So teaching and preaching gives precedence to
demonstrations or activities of the spirit. And
what do we say are demonstrations? What do we
say are manifestations? And we say that demonstrations
and manifestations are the evidence that the
Holy Ghost is present. Hallelujah. Because they
are physical. They are tangible. They are evidence
that what? That the Spirit of God is what? Is
present. When we come in a meeting, as teaching
is going on, Holy Spirit, I know as teaching
is going on, then suddenly, you know, a call
is given that there are two blind people here.
Can you come out? Or if you know someone is sick
here, can you just come out? We're going to lay
house on you right now and healing is going to
happen right now. You know, many sick people
run to the front and hands are laid on them or
words are given and instantly you begin to see
eyes are opening. Instantly you begin to hear
ears are opening. You hear a shout there. I can
hear, I can hear, I can hear. You begin to see,
oh, the eyes are open, the eyes are open. Why?
Because I know her. She is my neighbor. She has
been blind from childbirth. But as hands were
laid on her, suddenly there was a recreative
miracle and then eyes came to her. There are
evidences. So demonstrations are evidences that
the spirit of God is present. Hallelujah. Demonstrations
are manifestations of the spirit. shows the glory
and the power of the Spirit of God that is in
you. Let me repeat it because we need to hear
this line now. That demonstrations, manifestations,
they show the glory and the power of God that
is in you. It's not a potential energy. It's
not a potential evidence that is hidden. It's
a moving evidence. It's a physical evidence.
So when I say I have the glory of God, when I
say I have the power of God in me, what I am
saying in essence is that I am going to give,
I'm going to give opportunity for a free flow
for the manifestation of that power within me.
So how can people know you have the spirit of
God through the manifestation? Hallelujah. How
can people know you have the spirit of God through
the demonstration? So when we come to a meeting
and then an instruction is given, can you give
a prophetic word? You know, we have had lots
of these testimonies in our meetings in Catholicism.
Lots of people, even in prayer groups, we have
had lots of testimonies. People, we know when
people are grouped in a 2 -2 or 3 -3 or 4 -4
or 5 -5. And then they say, can you take some
time and pray in the Holy Ghost? Pray in the
Holy Ghost. Pray in the Holy Ghost. Five minutes,
10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes, 40 minutes,
one hour. And we say, can you give a prophetic
or a word of wisdom? Or can you give a word to
your brother and to your sister? Do you know,
for the first time, people that have never experienced
the manifestation of the prophetic, they find
themselves prophesying. For the first time, people
that have not heard God's words specific for
individuals. And you know, that experience alone
changes all about them from that meeting. So
the spirit of God in the believer should be visible.
Should be visible. Should be visible. And that
is why we say demonstrations of the Spirit of
God in the believer shows the glory and the power
of God that is in the believer. Romans chapter
8, verse 14 to 16. Romans chapter 8, verse 14
to 16. Romans chapter 8, verse 14 to 16. Therefore,
as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they
are what? They are the sons of God. For you have
not received the spirit of bondage again to fear.
Hallelujah. What have we received? We have received
the spirit of adoption. Whereby we do what? We
cry. Hallelujah. Our father, the spirit himself,
beared witness with what? With our spirit that
we are what? The children of God. Hallelujah.
So manifestation and demonstration of the things
of the Spirit are witnesses in the believer's
life. Do you hear what I said? They are what?
They are witnesses. In fact, let me say them
this way. That the gifts of the Holy Ghost in
the believer are witnesses of the Holy Ghost
in the believer. The gifts of the Holy Ghost
in the believer, their manifestation, their demonstrations
are what? Are witnesses in what? In the believer.
So what do we see? We see that an inward witness
in the believer should produce an outward activity.
An inward witness in the believer should produce
an outward demonstration, an outward activity.
Say, sir, you know me, sir, my spirit, you know,
sir, you people, you like to show, you like to
show. You know, the last time I saw the pastors,
sir, you know, we are only in the inside, in
the inside, bro. The spirit of God in the believer.
Should be manifested. The spirit of God. Has
and should always. Be giving free course. For
demonstration. Then the second thing I said.
Is that the Holy Ghost. In Holy Ghost meetings.
The Holy Ghost is giving a free room. To demonstrate
himself. That's the second thing. In Holy Ghost
meetings, the Holy Ghost is giving a what? A
free room to demonstrate himself. And we're going
to build on that now. And when we say he's giving
a free room, we are saying that, Lord, that we
create an allowance for the Spirit of God. We
give room for the Spirit of God. We give opportunity
for the Spirit of God. So how does the Spirit
of God demonstrate himself in Holy Ghost meetings?
Number one. How does the Spirit of God demonstrate
himself in Holy Ghost meetings? Number one. Does
the Spirit of God or the Holy Ghost demonstrate
himself in utterances? In Holy Ghost meetings,
one of the things we are going to see is that
the Spirit of God will be demonstrating himself
in what? In utterances. And when we say utterance,
what we mean by saying utterances in Holy Ghost
meetings is that the Spirit of God is going to
speak. Things are going to be said in Holy Ghost
meetings by the Spirit of God. Things are going
to be said. Let me say it again. Things are going
to be said. When we say utterances, we mean what?
Things are going to be said. Things are going
to be spoken under the inspiration of the Spirit
of God. So when the Holy Ghost is giving room
in utterances, He gives us things to say. He
gives us things to say. He gives us things to
say. He gives us things to say. He speaks through
us. He brings comfort through us to people. He
brings direction through us to people. He brings
comfort, strength to people. He brings confirmations.
He brings reassurances through us. But how? Through
things that have been said and spoken. He gives
us something to say on the moment. Not premeditated
things. Hallelujah. That is why we are saying,
through the inspiration of the Spirit of God,
not premeditated things. No, no, no, no, no,
no. On the moment. Things that eyes don't know
about. Ears don't know about. Heart don't know
about. People around don't know about. On the
moment. Or at the moment, he gives us things
to say. So it's not a regular discussion where
I know my wife and I know lots of things about
her and then I come to say those things to her.
No. And when we say utterance, there are three
utterances the Spirit of God is going to give
in Holy Ghost meetings. Three utterances we're
going to see him move. We're going to see him
move in the prophetic. We're going to see him
move in the prophetic, the prophecy. We're going
to see him move in tongues. We're going to see
him move in interpretation of tongues. We see
the Holy Ghost gives utterances, things to say
via the prophetic, things to say. Via tongues.
Things to say. Via interpretation of what? Of
tongues. Hallelujah. When we read 1 Corinthians
chapter 14, we will see that tongues and interpretation
of tongues is equal to prophecy. Because when
we pray in tongues, when we sing in tongues,
as it were, in 1 Corinthians chapter 14, it says
we edify ourselves. But when we pray in tongues,
when we speak in tongues, and we interpret those
tongues, what it does, it does what? It edifies
the church. So likewise, prophecy also what?
Edifies the church. So in Holy Ghost meetings,
let me say this now to us now. In Holy Ghost
meetings, prepare your heart, prepare your mind
that the Spirit of God is going to speak through
you. Hallelujah. The Spirit of God is going to
give you things to say. And when He gives you
things to say, please don't shut your mouth up.
He's going to give you things to say via prophecy.
He's going to give you things to say via tongues.
He's going to give you things to say via interpretation
of tongues. So we say the Spirit of God, let
me tie it again from where we had last week.
We say the Spirit is given to us to become speaking
spirits. So the Spirit, or the things of the
Spirit, or the gifts of the Spirit, or the demonstration
of the gifts of the Spirit are preceded upon
speaking. All the gifts of the Holy Ghost find
expression through how? Through speaking. Healing
will take place through what? Speaking. Gifts
of faith comes to people through what? Speaking.
Word of wisdom, word of knowledge, through what?
Speaking. See, the spirit of God in you has made
you to be a speaking spirit. So take advantage.
Posture yourself. Position yourself to enjoy
the flow of the Spirit of God through you. So
let's just track back a little bit. And then
let's look at how the work of the Spirit throughout
the spiritual. Just some examples. We're going
to look at some examples until we continue. And
we're going to see that the Spirit of God comes
upon us. And one of the things we're going to
see that is prevalent, one of the things that
we're going to see that is obvious and evident,
right, where the Spirit of God is, is what? Speakings,
utterances. So you see how we are building now.
We are going back to now see from the Scriptures.
These are just, you know, Examples that we're
going to see, the walkings of the Spirit, so
that do not be at distance, are for 1 Samuel.
Thank you, Holy Spirit. 1 Samuel, chapter 19,
verse 20. 1 Samuel, chapter 19, verse 20. And
then let's see what the scripture says. And let's
start from verse 19, everybody. 19, 19. And it
was told Saul saying, behold, David is at Nioth
in Ramah. And Saul sent messengers to take David.
And when they saw the company of the prophets
prophesying and Samuel standing as appointed
over them, the spirit of God was upon. the messengers
of Saul, and they shut their mouth. Is that what
your scripture says? What happened to them? Because
the spirit of God was there, they prophesied,
speakings, utterance. Hallelujah. The spirit
of God was upon the messengers of Saul, and they
also what? Prophesied. Messengers. Messengers.
They were messengers sent. But the Spirit of
God came upon them and what happened instantly
to them? They began to speak. Inspired speakings.
Prophecies are inspired utterances. Inspired
speakings by the Spirit of God. 2 Samuel chapter
23, verse 2. 2 Samuel chapter 23, verse 2. The
Spirit of the Lord. 2 Samuel chapter 23, verse
2. The spirit of the Lord speak by me. His word
was in my what? In my tongue. Hallelujah. The
spirit of the Lord speak. The spirit of the Lord
speak by me. Gave me in spiral trances. Why?
Because his word was in my tongue. In cataclysmos.
Many and all of us. The word of the spirit of
God. Will be in our tongue. And we will be speaking
them out. Hallelujah. He spoke by me. For his
word was in my tongue. We see an activity of
the spirit of God. Numbers 11. Verse 25. Numbers
11 verse 25. Numbers 11 verse 25. As we are reading
these scriptures. Directly. Just start seeing
yourself much more. Much more the spirit of God.
Is giving words much more through your mouth.
That there will be so much. Abundance speaking
is happening through you. In the Catholicism.
Abundance speaking is happening through you.
In cell meetings, abundant speaking is happening
through you. On Sunday, during the service, abundant
speaking is happening through you. The Spirit
of the Lord giving you words, giving you direction
for your family, direction for your father, direction
for your mother, direction for your siblings,
direction for your friends, and you are altering
them out. Numbers 11, 25. And the Lord came down
in a cloud. and spake unto him and took of the
spirit that was upon him. We're talking about
Moses now. And took of the spirit that was upon
him and gave it unto the 70 elders. And it came
to pass when the spirit rested on them. What
happened to them? They prophesied and did not
see it. Hallelujah. So we see. Where the Spirit
of God is, we are seen in spiral torrents. Immediately
the Spirit of God rested on them. What happened
to them? They began to prophesy and did not cease.
In fact, let's keep reading now. 26. But there
remained two of the men in the camp. The name
of one was Eldad. And the name of the other Medad.
And the spirit rested upon them. And they were
of them that were written. But went not out unto
the tabernacle. And they prophesied where? In
the camp. So everyone. That is part of the believers
meeting. Everyone that is part of the Holy Ghost
meetings. Hallelujah. Inspired utterances. Inspired
speaking by the Spirit of God. Nehemiah 9 verse
30. Nehemiah 9 verse 30. And we keep going through
so many of these scriptures. Nehemiah 9 verse
30. Yet many years did not forbear them. And
testified against them by the Spirit in thy what?
In thy prophets. One of the teachings that we
had concerning spirituals, the first teaching
we had concerning spirituals, you know, in the
self -pity, we said the Spirit of God has been
on the earth. The Spirit of God didn't show up
during the day of Pentecost. And we read... evidences
from the scriptures. And one of them, we said,
we see the activity of the Spirit of God upon
prophets, upon priests, upon kings. We remember,
I know we should not forget the teaching. Right?
So, and we see it here. He said, it testified
against them by the Spirit in what? In thy prophets.
Yet would they not give in their forgiveness
thou them into the hands of the people of what?
Of the land. When we read throughout the scriptures,
we're going to see kings. We're going to see
prophets. We're going to see priests. As the
Spirit of God comes upon them, one of the first
things that happens to them is that you will
hear them give inspired utterances. By the Spirit
of God. Acts chapter 1. Verse 16. Acts chapter
1, verse 16. There are a lot of scriptures here,
so I'll just call 2, 3, 4, and then we'll just
look at it, and then we keep building. Acts chapter
1, verse 16. He said, men and brethren, these
scriptural needs have been fulfilled, which the
Holy Ghost, by the mouth of what? David. Did
what? The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of David,
did what? Speak. Hallelujah. The Holy Ghost,
by the mouth of Custon, speak. The Holy Ghost,
by the mouth of Pastor Chidi. Speak. By the Holy
Ghost, by the mouth of Pastor Victor, he's speaking.
The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Queen, he's speaking.
The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Prince, he's
speaking. The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Samuel
Lawatt, he's speaking. The Holy Ghost, by the
mouth of Dunkard, he's speaking. The Holy Ghost,
by the mouth of Joy, he's what? He's speaking.
The Holy Ghost, by the mouth of Takunda, he's
what? He's speaking. Before concerning Judas,
which was God's death, the one that took Jesus.
This same scripture, I would have read it from
the Old Testament, as it were, Old Testament.
However, we see the Spirit of God in David giving
him what? Inspired utterances, the prophetic.
Acts chapter 4, verse 8. Acts chapter 4. Or let's
read Acts chapter 2 before we read Acts chapter
4. And when the day of Pentecost was fully come,
they were all with one accord in one place. And
suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of
a rushing mighty wind, and it filled the whole
house where they were sitting. And there appeared
upon them cloven tongues as of fire, and it sat
upon each of them. See verse 4, everybody. And
they were all filled with what? With the Holy
Ghost. See the next thing that began to happen
to them. Everybody. And they were all filled
with the Holy Ghost. And began to what? Speak.
Hallelujah. They began to speak with other tongues
as the Spirit gave them what? position yourself
that in catatismus, I am filled with the spirit
of God and I will speak as the spirit gives me
utterance. Hallelujah. I will not shut my mouth
off. I will not be hearing. I will not go to
the back and keep quiet and just be an onward
looker or a spectator somewhere. I will participate.
And my participation is what? In speaking. In
speaking. In speaking. As he gave them utterance,
they didn't hold back. What did they do? They
spoke. They spoke in other tongues. As he gave
them utterance, Peter stood up. He didn't go
back to hide. What did he do? He spoke by the
Spirit of God. That's what the Father said. Then
Peter, filled with the Holy Ghost, kept quiet
and thought in his heart, Ye rulers of the people
and the elders of Israel. Is that what the scripture
says? He said, Peter filled with the Holy Ghost.
What did he do? He said unto the people, Hallelujah.
He said unto them. Koston, filled with the Holy
Ghost, said unto them. Gabriel, filled with the
Holy Ghost, said unto them. Gatenia, Maria, filled
with the Holy Ghost, said unto them. We see speakings,
speakings by the Spirit of God. 2 Peter chapter
1, verse 8. Let's read it. I know we know the
scripture, but let's read it. 2 Peter chapter
1 verse 21. For the prophecy came not in all
time by the will of man, but the holy men of
God speak as they were what? As they were inspired
by what? By the Holy Ghost. Oh. The Catatismus
meeting is going to be a meeting full of inspiration
by the Spirit of God. Hallelujah. There will
be massive, so much speaking by the Spirit of
God. From the teaching sessions, to the prayer
sessions, to the practice sessions, so much speaking
by the Spirit of God. So we see God give his
people his spirit throughout the scriptures.
And they never kept quiet. They have been speaking.
So God gave me his spirit to speak. Hallelujah.
God gave me his spirit to what? To speak. To
bring order to where there is chaos. To declare
salvation to where there is darkness. To announce
much more freedom to them that are under the
bondage of Satan. To speak. So change things
by your declaration. Change things. Change things.
Bring direction to friends by your declaration.
Ephesians chapter 5 verse 18 to 20. Ephesians
chapter 5, verse 18 to 20. See the scriptures,
everybody. Speakings. We are still on that first
point. He demonstrates himself. Hear what? Utterance.
Hallelujah. Speakings. Ephesians chapter 5, verse
18 to 20. Thank you, Holy Spirit. Thank You Holy
Spirit Thank You Holy Spirit Ephesians chapter
5 verse 18 to 20. to God and the Father in the
name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This is our reality
in catatismus. Hallelujah. We will be speaking
to ourselves in psalms, in hymns, which are spiritual
songs. We will be singing. We will be making
melody in our heart unto the Lord. We will be
submitting ourselves one to another in the fear
of God. Where we see the infilling of the Holy
Ghost, where we see the sharing of the Holy Ghost,
we're going to see inspired utterances. We're
going to see the prophetic. We're going to see
tongues. We're going to see interpretation of
tongues. Somebody just asked a question. Okay,
so how are we going to know prophecy, tongues,
interpretation of tongues? Don't worry. The teachings
are going to come. There is nothing we will practice
in Catholicism that will not be taught. In fact,
let me say it this way before we come to it.
You see, the gifts of the Holy Ghost, they function
much more by instructions. We're going to get
instructions first from the teachings and preaching.
You see, that is why you can't remove teaching
and preaching from the Holy Ghost meeting. If
you remove teaching and preaching for a Holy
Ghost meeting, I don't know, that is like a similitude
of a shrine. You consult oracles and oracles
just speak and you carry your load and go. I'm
going to say something you understand why the
teaching of God's word must first take place.
So we see the infilling of the Spirit of God
results to us, all of us, speaking about the
inspiration of the Spirit of God. Hallelujah.
So we will pray in tongues. We will sing in tongues.
We will interpret the tongues. All by the Spirit
of God. So the second thing we see by the Spirit
of God, the Holy Ghost demonstrates Himself in
revelations. The Holy Ghost demonstrated himself
in what? In revelations, in a Holy Ghost meeting.
So we said in utterance, when we say the Holy
Ghost is demonstrating himself in utterance,
it means that there are things that are going
to be said by the Spirit of God, right? But now
when we say in revelations, we mean that there
are things that are going to be seen. In utterance,
things will be said. In revelations, things will
be seen. Hallelujah. Things will be revealed.
Things will be unveiled. Many things will meet
the eye. Three of them, we see word of knowledge.
We see word of wisdom. We see discerning of spirits.
There are also three. So the Holy Ghost will
demonstrate himself in revelations. What do we
mean by in revelations? Things are going to be
seen. Hallelujah. In cataclysmos, we're going
to see people are going to see by the Spirit
of God. There will be speakings as a result of
seeing. So we see three of them. Word of knowledge,
word of wisdom, and discerning of spirit. So
when we say things are going to be seen, it's
that things are going to be revealed that we
don't have information about. Hallelujah. We
have never encountered the things. And those
things will be made bare to meet the eye. So
we're going to see God give us things that are
going to happen or things that are happening
or things that have already happened in the past
and God wants to speak or reveal those things
because he wants to do something now with them.
Hallelujah. So things will be seen. So we're
going to receive things that were not there before.
Hallelujah. Things that were not there before,
we're going to see those things. Those things
will be revealed by the Spirit of God. Third
thing, the Holy Ghost is going to demonstrate
himself in power. He's going to demonstrate himself
in power, which means that things are going to
be done. Things are going to be established.
In utterance, things are going to be said. In
revelations, things are going to be seen. In
power, things are going to be done. Hallelujah.
Oh, glory to God. Cataclysm is supernatural.
Cataclysm is supernatural. We are saying things
by the Spirit of God. We are seeing things by
the Spirit of God. And many things are done by
the Spirit of God. By the ability of the Spirit
of God. So things are going to be done. We will
see them visible. So three of them also. We are
going to see them in healings. We are going to
see them in healings. We are going to see them
in walking of miracles. We are going to see gifts
of faith. Hallelujah. We are going to see them
in healings. In working of miracles. And do you
know everything that I'm saying is the reality
of what will happen in Katatismos? All that we've
been saying so far, they are things that are
all our reality during the Holy Ghost meeting
that is ahead of us. Hallelujah. Healings, working
of miracles, and gift of faith. We see the power
of the Holy Ghost coming upon people. Things
are going to be happening supernaturally. Fourth,
the needs of people are always met in Holy Ghost
meetings. Fourth, the needs of people are always
met. Healing needs. Ignorance needs. That is
why teaching must come. Healing needs. Ignorance
needs. Direction. Comfort. Deliverances. Convictions.
Needs are going to be met and are always met
in Holy Ghost meetings. That's the third one
now. So after the teaching of the word, then
we see the demonstration of the spirit of God.
Then the fourth one, the third one is the need
of people are met. Then the fourth we see is
that the believers, let me clarify myself so
that we can get it. Number one, we say in Holy
Ghost meetings, the teaching of God's word is
given what? priority number two the holy ghost
is giving room for demonstration right and we
say in the point for holy ghost giving room for
demonstration to manifest right we say he's going
to manifest himself in utterance he's going to
manifest himself in revelation he's going to
manifest himself in what in power amen and so
though all these points are sub points under
The Holy Ghost demonstrating himself. So the
third thing is that the needs of people are met
in Holy Ghost meetings. And the fourth thing
we see is that all of us are edified. In Holy
Ghost meetings, the meeting that is ahead of
us, all of us, we are edified. We are strengthened.
And the last thing that will be happening to
us, glory to God, we will leave the Holy Ghost
meeting rejoicing. Hallelujah. We will leave
every day, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday, Saturday. We are exiting that door rejoicing
every day. Hallelujah. Rejoicing every day. Rejoicing
every day. Why? Because the word of God has its
place. The Holy Ghost has demonstrated himself
in utterance, in revelation, in power. Why? Because
needs have been met by the Spirit of God. We
are edified. And when we are edified, what do
we do next? We rejoice. So we leave always out
of that door rejoicing throughout that one week.
So in Holy Ghost meeting, let me reiterate myself
again. In Holy Ghost meeting, what do we see?
The preaching of God's word is what? Is giving
what? Is first place. That's number one. Number
two, the Holy Ghost is giving free room for what?
For demonstration. Hallelujah. Number three,
we see that the needs of people are what? Amen.
Praise God. Number four, what do we see? That
we are edified. Number five, what do we see?
That we leave that atmosphere, what? Rejoicing.
Praise God. Hallelujah. So all these things,
when we join them together, We can term them
as experiences by the Spirit of God. All that
we have discussed, when we join all of them together,
we can term them as what? Experiences by the
Spirit of God to the believer. So what the Holy
Ghost is doing for every one of us is that He
is giving us or He is taking us into all these
experiences. So our lives cannot be devoid of
experiences. Where the word of God is given its
first place, where we see a demonstration of
the spirit of God, where we see needs are met,
where we see we are edified, our lives will not
be devoid of what? Of experiences by the spirit
of God. So you can term Catartismus as a week
of experiences by the Spirit of God. Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
deeper experiences by the Spirit of God. From
one level to another. Experiences upon experiences.
Encounters upon encounters. So we see because
these experiences, directly or indirectly as
it were, even though we will not be able to explain
some of them, but as we continue to submit ourselves
to teaching, certain things that are going to
happen to us, the knowledge will come to us.
Hallelujah. You see, that is why you cannot attempt
karatismos and after that meeting, you just run
away. Stop coming to meetings. No. You keep coming.
You keep coming. You keep coming because certain
experiences are going to be defined and explained
through the teachings that you will keep getting.
So let me say this now. What are some of the
things that we can do? Or what are some of the
things that we should not do to hinder the flow
of the things of the Holy Ghost in a Holy Ghost
meeting? I just have a few minutes left. Probably
I will just say them and then we can write them.
What are some of the things that we should not
do that will hinder the flow of the things of
the Spirit? in a Holy Ghost meeting. You see,
all the things that I've said should already
inform us on how we ought to behave in the meeting
that is ahead of us. Hallelujah. That when we
come, how we should participate, how we should
yield ourselves. You should know that when I
come to a Holy Ghost meeting, one of the ways
I should participate is that the Holy Ghost is
going to speak through me. So I need to posture
myself in hearing instructions. Because through
me, needs will be met. Through me, someone will
be edified. So what are some of the things? Number
one, in Holy Ghost meetings, do not allow over
familiarity. or lack of honor to rob you of receiving
such spiritual experiences. Do not allow what?
Is he not my husband? Is he not my wife? Is he
not my housemate? Okay. Is he not Brother Shenene
or Chokobleke? I know him now. Spiritually, I
am higher than him in the spiritual rank. Do
not allow what? Over familiarity, lack of honor
to rob you of receiving spiritual experiences
in a Holy Ghost meeting. Do you know why? Because
once love is not there, once love is not there,
automatically a block is already placed from
receiving spiritual things. 1 Corinthians chapter
13. You can read it after this meeting. Let's
just read it. Let's just read it. 1 Corinthians
chapter 30. You can just read verse 1. Just the
few verses I heard of it. And then we just move.
Though I speak with the tongues of men and of
angels. And have not love. I am become a sounding
brass. Or a tingling cymbal. And though I have
the gifts. Of prophecy. Can you see? Though I
see the demonstration of the prophecy. Though
I see the final. Law of prophecy. And I understand
all mysteries. And all knowledge. And though
I have all faith. And so that I could remove
mountains. And have not love. I am what? I am
nothing. So what we see. Lack of honor. What
we see. A loveless man coming to such a meeting.
Over familiarity. Strife. What it will do is
that it will place a block to receiving the things
of the Spirit. So what will I say to you? In
Holy Ghost meeting, let love flow. Hallelujah.
In Holy Ghost meeting, let what? Let love flow.
In Holy Ghost meeting, let love flow. And the
things of the Holy Ghost will flow. Let love
flow. As you give, it will be easier to also
receive. Let love flow as you receive the things
of the Spirit. Let love flow as you give the
things of the Spirit. So do not allow over -familiarity,
lack of honor, strife to rob you of receiving
spiritual experiences, manifestation of the things
of the Spirit. So what should I do in Holy Ghost
meetings? When I come, let love flow. Let love
flow. Glory be to God. In the training center,
we are dealing with a message, be not angry or
be angry or be not angry. What we see from the
whole discussion that we've had, glory to God,
that what we see is so profound in this season.
Every man that has the spirit of God and must
see the things of the spirit of God must have
a heart that is treated. By the spirit of God.
Your heart must be treated. Your heart must be
treated. Your heart must be treated. By the spirit
of God. Secondly. What we see. Do not allow.
Or do not be. Let me say it this way. I think
that will capture it. Do not be stereotyped to
only one thing during Holy Ghost meeting. Don't
be used to only one thing. Be flexible. Be flexible.
Flow with the Spirit of God. Do not be stereotyped
to what? To only one thing. Don't say all that
is to the Holy Ghost is the prophetic. No. Don't
say all that is to the Holy Ghost is healing.
No. Don't say all that is to the Holy Ghost is
word of knowledge. No. Don't say all that is
to the Holy Ghost is only the sight of spirits.
No. Don't say all that is to the Holy Ghost is
tongues and interpretation of tongues. No. Don't
be used to only that one thing. Because you know
what? In the Holy Ghost, oh boy, it's an unlimited
experience. Hallelujah. There is more in the
spirit of God. In case you don't know, let me
announce it to you. There is more in the spirit
of God. More experiences. Deeper experiences.
More demonstrations. More manifestations. So
don't hold only on to one. The third thing, unbelief.
Unbelief. Unbelief. Unbelief. Unbelief should
not rob you of receiving from the Spirit of God
in Holy Ghost meetings. And then write this as
the last ignorance. There are lots of scriptures
here. We're going to come to it again because
I'm going to give us this scripture and we're
going to read it all true from the Old Testament.
down to the New Testament as it were for simplicity
of understanding what I'm saying. We're going
to read them. There are lots of scriptures here
which we're going to go from scripture to scripture
to scripture and then learning how unbelief can
pose a block to receiving from the Spirit of
God. Then the last thing is ignorance. Ignorance.
Ignorance as As a way of either you know the
things of the spirit. And refuse to yield to
them. Or you don't even know anything about the
things of the spirit. Or what they are in essence.
Hallelujah. So we see over familiarity or lack
of honor. We see being used to only one thing.
In a Holy Ghost meeting, we see unbelief, we
see ignorance. So we see all these things are
going to pose threats to us receiving from the
Spirit of God in Holy Ghost meetings. Hallelujah.
So in the meeting that is ahead of us, Position
yourself. Posture yourself. Pray about it. Fast
about it. Participate. Make up your mind to participate.
Make up your mind. Pray, plan, prepare, and make
up your mind to participate. That in that meeting,
we're going to have people that are full of joy.
We're going to have people that are going to
pray and pray and pray into the next day, into
the next day. We're going to have people where
burdens are lifted from them. We're going to
have people that have never experienced the manifestation
of the Spirit of God for the first time in their
lives that are baptized with the Holy Ghost.
We're going to have healing miracles happening
in that meeting. We're going to have people that
are being moved by the Holy Ghost. We're going
to receive instructions. Hallelujah. We're going
to see angels ministering to us by the Spirit
of God. We're going to see activations happening
to us. We're going to see tongues and interpretation
of tongues happening to us. We're going to see
the prophetic finding expression accurately.
See, many and all of us are going to have such
deeper experiences by the Spirit of God. Can
we just pray for the Christmas meeting that is
ahead of us? Can we pray, every one of us? Can
we just pray by the Spirit of God? Can we pray
by the Spirit of God? Can you pray for yourself
that in this meeting, oh, I yield myself to the
teaching. I yield myself to the demonstration.
My needs are met. Make up your mind. Have expectation.
Have needs that should be met. oh i am edified
hallelujah i live that meeting rejoicing glory
to god can you just pray for yourself can you
just pray for yourself oh glory glory glory glory
glory glory glory glory glory glory supernatural
experiences, deeper experiences, deeper experiences,
deeper experiences, deeper motions of the spirit.
These by inspirations, utterances by the spirit
of God, revelations by the spirit of God, power
by the spirit of God, needs are met by the spirit
of God, edification by the spirit of God. We
are rejoicing. Hallelujah. I bring edification
to my sister. I bring edification to my brothers.
I see the supernatural. I see power demonstrated
through the healing of my hands, the laying of
my hands. I see power be released upon sicknesses.
Sicknesses are healed through my hands. Eyes
are opened through my hands. Ears are hearing
through my hands. I bring words and interpretation
of those tongues to men in the name of Jesus.
Thank you, Holy Ghost. We bless you. Thank you,
Father. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Hallelujah.
