Welcome to NECF. We're thrilled you're here.
Make sure to stay with us till the end, where
we will share some great resources to deepen
your faith. Now, let's dive into this week's
sermon. Hallelujah. Praise God. In Acts chapter
2, no wonder they heard them, they were declaring
the wonderful works of God. Because what has
been prophesied is now fulfilled. Hallelujah.
What has been prophesied is now what? Is now
fulfilled. So they will hear them declaring the
what? The wonderful works of the Lord. The mighty
works of the Lord. He said, that which has been,
Peter stood up and said, that which has been
prophesied by prophet Joel is now what you see
at work now. He's aligning with what was interpreted
in the tongues. Hallelujah. Praise God. So how
be it? When you speak in tongues, you don't speak
to humanity. You speak unto who? Unto God. But
unto God. But unto God. But unto God. This information
only should set you free. That every time you
are speaking in tongues, Every time you are speaking
in tongues, you know that you have an audience
with God. Hallelujah. Every time. You know, during
my anyway, somebody say, how did you know? Maybe
if you are speaking in tongues, you are saying
that when I go out, I should have accident. Can
you imagine? And this was somebody that was supposed
to be our leader. He said, why are we praying
in tongues, praying in tongues? We don't even
know what we are saying. Maybe we are saying
that when we go out in the next day going to
our PPA, let's have accidents. At the time, we
believed that the spirit of Beelzebub was walking
through him. You know, he said, I'm the chief
rebellion. I'm the one that is ganging up against
him. I'm the one that's, what they call the word,
gang leader. Aside the president, the next person
that has three offices is me. I have one office
upstairs. I have my own office again downstairs.
And I have another one. And you know what he
now did? Since I was the gang leader, he realized
that we always, or every... All the other escorts,
we always meet in the office up because his home
too is there. So, he's closed. So, he sees everybody.
What is Rocket Man? They gave me a name, Rocket
Man. He said, what is Rocket Man always doing
with all this? They are still plotting something.
He now said, as the chief of this house, he has
seized that that room is closed. He now left
Rocket Room for us downstairs. How can you speak?
How can you create an audience with God? And
the interpretation of what is happening is, as
I'm going out in the morning for my PPA, let
me have accident. We love him. You know, as the
gang leader, you know, They suspended us for
six months. Have you ever seen people that gave
themselves to staff? They are now suspended for
six months. I'm telling you, for a one -year
program. For a one -year program, they suspended
us for six months. You know what we started doing,
sir? We started organizing prayer groups among
us. And we're praying for him and praying for
the church. The rugged man that I handed over
to, because, you know, we're under suspension,
so we can't go to come and select people. That
boy is from around my state. Do you know the
boy ran mad? He ran mad. They had to carry him
out of his service here, back home. They go out
for, you know, the boss will carry people and
they'll go for one villages or the other. The
boy will come back and be telling me strange
things that they are experiencing there. Before
we left, he started talking to himself. I was
in Abuja. They called me that they're moving
back home. Glory to God. The next set that was
going to come, substantive escort. That's the
main escort that was going to come. Jesus hijacked
the team. And the team changed. So, you can't
create an audience with God and give it a demonic
meaning. Okay. Let's continue. So, we said that
that word on the standard hymn, that word on
the standard, we say it's what? Akua, right?
Which implies to what? To comprehend. Praise
God. So, if we are reading that verse 2, we say,
for he that speaketh, that's the believer that
speaketh in an unknown tongue. We know what is
tongue now, right? If you're having King James
Version, unknown is italicized, which means in
the original context, it wasn't there, right?
It's just tongue. Praise God. Speaketh not unto
men. Verse added by translators, right? But unto
God. For no man understand. If you're still using
King James Version like mine, you will see the
hymn too. It's italicized, right? Yeah, so that
word there is supposed to be no man understand.
Understand what? The tongue. Praise God. Amen?
Yeah, so that's the word understand there. The
comprehension is not to understand a man speaking.
It's to understand the tongue that is being uttered.
Are we all here? Are we all here? So, when you
are set out to speak in tongues, When I come
close to you, I will not understand what you
are saying. How be it that the verse 2 says,
but your speakings are not to humanity. Your
speakings are unto who? And unto God. Please
be looking at your Bible so that you see what
I'm saying. He said, you speak not unto men,
but unto who? But unto God. For no humanity understand
this kind of speaking. Praise God. How be it
in the spirit, right? The believer speaketh what?
Mysteries. Are we all here? So that word mysteries,
we have had it here, is called musterion. Musterion,
which implies undisclosed facts that needs to
be explained. So it's not something metaphysical.
It's not something abstract. You remember we
said utterance is what? Elevated discussion,
right? But that elevated discussion can be interpreted.
Hallelujah. Tongues are not cryptic messages.
Tongues can be what? Interpreted. Praise God.
Let me repeat myself. Tongues are not a kind
of language that does not have meaning. Tongues
have meaning. And the meaning lies in the interpretation.
Praise God. Amen. So he said mysteries. How be
it what? It's mysteries. It's mysteries because
when you're speaking in tongues and I come close
to you, I don't understand what you're saying.
You understand? So for me, it becomes what? Mystery.
When we say mystery, we are not saying something
spooky. What we are saying is that something
that the mind cannot grasp. Something that intelligently
your mind cannot what? Understand at the moment.
Praise God. But however, it needs to be what?
Explained. Undisclosed facts. That needs to be
what? Explained. That is the word musterion.
That is why you see, I added to us, every time
you say, I'm setting out to pray in tongues,
the next thing should be, and what? Prophesy.
Give meaning to it. Interpret. Hallelujah. Praise
God. So we see other instances from musterion.
Luke chapter 8 verse 10. We'll just look at two
references and then because that has been taught
here. Luke chapter 8 verse 10. And he said unto
you, it is given to know the mysteries, the musterion
of the kingdom. Hallelujah. So which means it
is given to you to understand the mysteries of
what? Of the kingdom. So that undisclosed facts
about the kingdom for you is open. Praise God.
Pastor Fred talked about to the believer is revelation.
It's open. It's not hidden. Praise God. is disclosed
for the believer. Tongues, let me say it this
way as it's coming to my heart. Tongues is a
disclosed message that needs to be interpreted
in clear language for the mind to understand.
Let me repeat myself because it's coming to my
heart now. Tongues is a what? Is a disclosed
message that needs to be what? Interpreted for
the mind to what? To understand. Tongues is a...
You see why I use the word disclose? So that
when you are speaking in tongues, don't say I'm
speaking what I don't know. Praise God. Tongues
is a disclosed message that needs to be what?
Interpreted so that the mind can what? Understand.
You remember we said that what? It should meet
the eye. Praise God. It should edify. Amen. So
when interpretation comes to tongues, what we
get is what? Edification. Hallelujah. So he said,
you give to know the mysteries of the kingdom
of God. Amen. But to others in parables, but
seeing that they might not see and hearing, they
might not what? Understand. One more verse again.
One more reference and then we go. Ephesians
3 verse 3. Ephesians 3 verse 3. Are we all understanding
what is happening? Praise God. Ephesians 3 verse
3. How that by revelation, he made known unto
me the what? If it's something that is hidden
and should not be known, it will not be made
known to him. Praise God. How by what? Revelation,
right? It was made known unto me the mystery
as I wrote afore in what? In a few what? In a
few words. Whereby when you read, you may what?
You may understand. So if he wrote the writing
in mystery, would they have understood? No. So
it was disclosed. It was open. In fact, let me
say it again much more higher now. Tongues need
to be open. For edification to find expression.
Tongues need to be what? Open. Say that when
you read, you may understand my knowledge in
the mystery of what? In the mystery of Christ.
It's already disclosed. It's not hidden again.
Praise God. Hallelujah. How be it? Let's read
1 Corinthians 2 .6. So how is mystery disclosed?
By revelation. How is mystery? Pastor Fred has
taught that. How is mystery disclosed? By what?
By revelation. How by revelation? This mystery
was made known to me. This mystery was opened
unto me. 1 Corinthians chapter 2. Verse 6. What
are they speaking? This hidden mystery that is
now what? Revealed. Hallelujah. Verse 9 now.
Can you see? But what has happened? Verse 10.
But God has hidden them. God has hidden them
unto us by His Spirit. What has happened to us?
God has revealed. them. How did he reveal them?
To us by his what? By his spirit. So say this,
when I speak in tongues, I know what I'm saying
by the spirit of God. For it is revealed unto
me by the spirit of God. The spirit of God gives
me utterance and he also gives me interpretation.
Glory to God. Hallelujah. That is it. See two
of everybody now. Now, hallelujah. When? Now
we have received not the spirit of the world,
but the spirit of God, which is of God, right?
That we may, what? That we may. That we may,
that we may, that we may know what? We may know
what? The things that are what? That are freely
what? Given to us. Say tongues have been given
to me. Interpretation have been given to me.
Word of wisdom has been given to me. The prophetic
has been given to me. Healing has been given
to me. Unconditionally there is a supply. Hallelujah.
Yes. That we may know. So when I create audience
with God, what happens next is that there is
what? A revealing. So when you set out to pray
in tongues, don't say, oh, hey, I'm afraid. I'm
afraid. No, no, no, no, no, no. It's you and
God. That thing that you're saying, why it's
called mystery, is because to the normal human
mind, it cannot be what? Understood. But when
it is interpreted, right, the mind now can what?
Grasp it. In Acts chapter 2, where we read, it
says, when they now heard them, right, the first
thing that happened, they were what? Confounded.
But later on, they declared, oh, we heard them.
They all are speaking in our what? In our own.
And what we hear them speak is that they are
declaring the what? The wonderful works of the
Lord. Praise God. Praise God. So we see God has
revealed these things to us by His what? By His
Spirit. So when these things are explained, the
mind can now understand. Hallelujah. So write
down. Every time tongue is interpreted, the mind
understands. Every time tongue is interpreted,
the mind what? Understands. So it's no more a
musterion. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
So to the human mind, tongues are not understood.
Because in the spirit, the believer is. involved
in a discussion with God. Hallelujah. In the
spirit, the believer is involved in a what? Discussion
with God. I believe this has answered questions
on when I pray in tongues, who am I really praying?
When I do and I begin to utter, who am I really
talking to? Am I talking to Pastor Koston? You
know, some people are ashamed to pray in tongues.
You know, because... when you stand close to
them, they will now reduce their voice. As you
are just standing there, Pastor Fred, you know,
as we say, can everybody pray in tongue here?
Once they see, a pastor is coming close. In fact,
some will not only reduce it, some will change
direction. I just got this by the Spirit of the
Lord. Don't compare your tongues with another
man's tongue. I just got this now by the Spirit
of God. You're creating an audience with God.
You're not creating an audience with men. Praise
God. You're not speaking to men. You're speaking
unto who? Unto God. How be it you speak in the
Spirit and not in the human language? Praise
God. Are we all here? Yeah, so this should answer
a question in someone's heart now. So because
there's a big question. How does my tongue sound?
Or how should my tongue sound? This is a big
question. Most times, people, most people that
you struggle with regarding the baptism with
the Holy Ghost, with an evidence of praying in
tongues, most times this is their major question.
I don't know what I'm saying. Have you met them
like that? Yeah, they will tell you, I don't
know what I'm saying, number one. And two, they
will tell you that what I'm saying looks stupid
to me. Then the third thing they will say is,
I don't understand what I'm saying. I thought
I should be saying something that my mind can
what? Understand. You see, supernatural things
are always not logical to the human mind until
they are taught. Do you hear what I said? Supernatural
things are not what? Are always not what? Logical
to the human mind until they are what? until
they are taught. Tongues will not be logical
to your mind until it is interpreted. It will
never be logical. And I said something strong
yesterday. Everything supernatural will always
have effect in the natural. So the effect of
supernatural activity called tongue in the natural
is what? Interpretation. So now the human mind
can now what? Perceive it and understand. Laying
on of hands is a supernatural activity. But you
see, you just do it in the what? In the what?
In the physical. But something supernatural is
happening. But now the next thing, how do we
know a supernatural thing has happened? We now
see what? Healing taking place. We now see a
baptism with the Holy Ghost happening. And then
we have evidence of what? Speaking in other tongues.
Evidence. So it's not logical to your mind. So
don't seek to apply your logical mind. Always
when it comes. You know, sometimes you can be
seated as we are seated here now. The Spirit
of God will give you a word for someone in this
place. And you say, what if now I ask him and
the person say I'm lying? And then you're perceiving
it much more stronger in your heart. Many times
you have heard me say, I know what I'm saying.
You must have heard me have said it one, two,
three. As I hear, I say, no, this is what I'm
saying. I know what I'm saying. For example,
yesterday, when man of God say, if you know you're
here, and she raised her, from the back, I heard
that there's someone again here. And from nowhere,
our sister now walked up here. Practicals. I
don't know. What's your name, sister? Huh? Okay.
Did you speak in tongues yesterday? She has been
speaking in tongues, so I never needed to ask
her. But you spoke in tongues yesterday. Don't
be shy. Are you always shy? Uh -huh. Don't be
shy. With all that you have learned now, you
can speak in tongues again, right? All that you
have learned so far, you can speak in tongues,
right? Perfect. Good. Anyone here, again, that
does not speak in tongues? Okay. You know, yesterday
I said I will put our ear close to your mouth.
We are going to do it today. Don't go to the
restroom. Yes, don't go to the restroom. You
know, people can be so listening. You know, yesterday
I said it. And you know, people are laughing.
And people do it. They say, can we speak in tongues?
Or they say, is there anybody that does not speak
in tongues? Nobody will listen. So, which means,
everybody speak in tongues. But now, can we speak
in tongues? You start praying in French. And
you know, Somebody that does not understand in
French, he will see you. And then he will say,
oh boy, he's on fire. He's on fire. So how does
my tongue sound? Well, how should my tongue sound?
Because that's a big question in people's heart
now. So we say that tongues, what? It's an ability
in the spirit. Have we said that before? Yes,
we said that, right? But actually, it has a sound.
Amen? You know, we say lalia. Didn't we say lalia?
Yeah, we say lalia. We also say from the Genesis
19, we say daba. Right? Yeah, so which means
that when I'm speaking, there's what? There's
a sound. Praise God. Praise God. Isaiah 28, 11.
Isaiah 28, 11. Thank you, Holy Spirit. You create
audience with God. You don't create audience
with men. I will say this a thousand times. You
create audience with God. You don't create audience
with what? With men. Let your attention be on
God, not on men. Let your attention be on God,
not on men. When you set out to pray in tongues,
let your attention be on God and not with what?
On men. Let your attention be on God and not
what? And not meant that way. Much more will
be happening in your spirit. Much more will be
coming. Much more interpretation. Much more word
of knowledge. Much more word of wisdom. Much
more the prophetic. Much more instructions are
going to be deposited. Much more the Holy Ghost
will be revealing in your spirit. Hallelujah.
28, 11. For with tamarind leaves and another
tongue will he speak to what? To his people.
To whom he said. This is the rest wherewith ye
may cause the weary to what? To rest. And this
is the refreshing. Yet they will not hear. But
the word of the Lord was unto them precept upon
what? Precept, precept upon precept, line upon
line, line upon line, here a little and there
a little, and they might go and fall backward
and be broken and snared and taken. But verse
11 says, with stammering lips and another what?
Tongue, will he speak to his what? Will he speak
to his what? Will he speak to his people? So
that word tongue in the Hebrew, that word tongue
in Hebrew is called Lashon, which means communication.
Lashon, L -A -S -H -I -O -N. It means communication.
Tongue, communication. And then another, another
in Hebrew words, lashon, L -A -S -H -I -O -N
-E. Another in the Hebrew word is achar, A -C
-H -E -R, which implies something strange. Something
strange. With stammering lips and another tongue.
Another, achar, A -C -H -E -R. Something strange.
Tongue, lashon, communication. Stamarin leaves.
The word leaves, we have said it here. Sapa,
right? Yes, we have said it. Sapa. Just as in
Genesis 11 verse 1. So, it's something spoken,
not written. Right? Something what? Spoken. Not
written. So, it's used for languages that need
what? Interpretation. The word stamarin is lae.
L -E. L -A -E -G. Which implies something that
is unusual, used for mockery. Something that
is unusual, used for mockery. Don't go out. Come.
Come and sit down. Come and sit down. Don't worry.
You pick that call. I want you to hear this part.
Tell the person to keep the money for you. I
want you to hear this part. Please. You know
why? You're going to help somebody in coming
days. You're going to help somebody with this
clarity. You see, as I raised my hand, I wasn't
looking for anybody. She was the one I was looking
for. And as I didn't see her, I said, ah! Now,
now. The word stammering is what? Lae, which
implies something that is what? Unusual, useful
mockery. Useful mockery. So we can say it here.
With a mockery, with a mockery speaking, right?
And a strange what? And a strange communication,
will he speak to his what? To his what? To his
people. I'm just putting all the meanings of
what we have written. into Isaiah 28, 11. That's
just what I just did. Now all the meanings, I'm
just putting it in Isaiah 28, 11. Are we all
here? Psalms 35, 16. Psalms 35, 16. Psalms 35,
verse 16. Have we been blessed so far? Are we
understanding the benefits of tongues? We know
who should speak in tongues. We know who tongues
is addressed to. That is not addressed to any
human, right? It's addressed to who? To God,
right? Perfect. So we are now looking at how
should my tongues sound? When I'm speaking in
tongues and I'm speaking, what happens? Is it
supposed to be like I said? I started out saying
this. Some people want their tongue to be sweet.
I love her tongues. Her tongues is like peace
language. Cincinnati. Alaska, Alaska, Madagascar,
Madagascar, Honolulu, Honolulu. Some people want
their tongue to be this sweet. You know, some
people even judge some people's other tongues.
When they hear the person is just doing Shabalada,
Shabalada, Shabalada, Shabalada, you know what
I mean? How many of these guys are doing Shabalada?
Let me say this. Who are you to judge another
man's tongue? That was just a joke. Praise God.
All of us, we have an audience with God. Praise
God. Then the third group now is, when they are
speaking in talks, they will put their ear to
hear the neighbor's tongue. Holy Spirit. He is
giving you utterance. Don't be afraid. He is
giving you options. Don't be afraid. Just open
up your mouth. Begin to speak. Begin to speak.
You will get better at this high -end language.
You will get better at this undisclosed language
that needs to be disclosed. You will get better.
I tell you this by the Spirit of God. You will
get better at it. Psalm 35, 16 now. Oh, 35, 35.
With hypocritical what? Mockers in feasts, they
gnashed upon me with their what? They gnashed
upon me with their teeth. That word mockers is
the same word for laie, stammering. It's the
same word. It's the same word. Used for what?
Stammering, as we read in Isaiah 28, 11. Something
foreign. Something new. Something foreign. Mockery.
Are we all here? So, having established this,
we now realize that when we talk about tongues,
right? Tongues is a different kind of communication
that will always sound. like mockery, like a
jest. Tongues will always sound like a what?
A mockery communication. When you hear us, when
humanity comes, let me use that word, when humanity
comes around you, right, and they don't understand,
not you, all of us, we pray in tongues here,
so we understand. Amen? What I'm saying. But
when an unlearned person comes here, And then
he sees like that man that came in. Can you imagine
yesterday? We're praying though. The man just
stood by the door. He was dancing. Do you know
when three of them or four of them come here,
they'll say all of us are stupid. Yes. In fact,
let me tell you what they'll do. They'll bring
out their phones and they'll be smiling and be
taking video. So I think these guys are losing
their minds. So tongues, because it's supernatural,
right? Do you know, let me say this now. Oh,
let's go back to 1 Corinthians 2. Where we read
chapter 2. So that you will see something. So
that you will see. Verse 14. Verse 14. Verse
Corinthians 2, 14. But the natural man received
not what? The things of what? Of the spirit of
God. For they are what? For they are what? Your
what say? For they are foolishness to him. Next
slide says what? Neither what? Can they what?
Know them because they are what? Spiritually
discerned. So tongues is a different kind of
communication. It's a language that sounds. This
is answering someone's question. The words I'm
saying, I don't understand them. Yes, your mind
cannot understand them intelligently. They sound,
they will sound like what? Mockery. So don't
apply effort and energy trying to understand
the words in human language. No. Amen? See, for
example, 1 Corinthians 14, 21. 1 Corinthians
14, 21. In the law it is written, with men of
what? With men of other tongues and other lips,
will I what? Will I speak unto these people?
And yet for all that will they not hear me said
what? Yes, strange communications. Strange. So
if you are having King James Version, you realize
that, you know, that place, man of, is actually
size. So which means that it was added by what?
Translators. So if we're going to read that place,
say, with other tongues. Praise God. With other
tongues and other leaves will I speak unto what?
Unto these people. That is the same rendition
from where we read in Isaiah. Are we all here?
Are we all here? So now, having said all this
now, let's read Acts chapter 2 verse 4. So now
you now grasp properly now. Can you see that
the sound of tongues will always look like mockery?
So if you are waiting for your tongue to sound
like Queen's English, you came late. The occasion
is over. See Acts chapter 2 verse 4, everybody.
And they were all filled with the what? With
the Holy Ghost. And they what? Began to speak
with what? In fact, let me do it as it's coming
to my head now. Carry the meaning. Of another.
And tongues that we just wrote from. The Old
Testament where we read. And put here. As the
spirit gave them utterance. And they say to me.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost.
And they began to speak. With what? Strange.
Communication. And because they were speaking.
A strange communication. Verse 6. Now when this
was noise abroad. The multitude came together
and were what? And they were confounded because
every man had them speak in his own what? In
his own tongue. See 13 now. Go to 13 everybody.
Others doing what? Others doing what? Mocking,
saying what? Can you see? So there were people
that hurt them, whereas others were laughing.
There were a group of people, such a mighty atmosphere.
And there were people standing there and they
were laughing. So if you are waiting for your
tongue to sound sweet, you came late. Every time
you set out to pray in tongues, it's going to
sound what? Strange, like a jest or what? Have
a form of a what? Mockery. Do you know why? Because
the human mind cannot what? Understand it. Until
it is what? Interpret it. How be it you are creating
audience with who? With God. Can we create an
audience in the next two minutes with God? Can
we pray in tongues now? I just perceive in my
heart that let's pray in tongues. Don't wait
for any atmosphere. There's no atmosphere. The
atmosphere is inside you. You are the atmosphere.
If you're online and you're listening, do likewise.
Pray in other tongues. Pray, pray, pray, pray,
pray. in right now. No wonder someone has said
in his heart, no wonder when I pray in tongues,
the way I'm saying it, I don't understand it.
No wonder the sound of my tongues is somehow.
No wonder my mind cannot understand. Yes, your
mind cannot understand because it's a supernatural
ability by the Spirit of God in your inside.
Let me hear you. Let me hear you. Do your mind
cannot understand it? Your spirit understand
it? Do your mind cannot understand it? God understand
it? Do your mind cannot understand it? Interpretation
is coming! Interpretation is here so that that
which is happening in your inside, the mind can
understand and you are edified. Thank you, Holy
Ghost. Thank you, Holy Ghost. In Jesus name we
pray. In the name of Jesus. So do we know how
tongues sounds now? Do we know how tongues sounds?
Hallelujah. To everywhere you go. Praise God.
I just had in my spirit to say to somebody who
is still struggling. Don't be ashamed when it
comes to praying in tongues. Don't be ashamed.
It's your reality. The utterance is inside you.
It will not be given to you tomorrow. It will
be given to you now. Hallelujah. There's a word
we sing here. I'm doing a new thing. I'm doing
a new thing in your life. I'm doing a new thing
in your life. That's what the Lord is saying.
I'm doing a new thing in your life and I'm going
to use you to bring about the revelation of God's
word in your nation. I'm using you to bring about
the revelation of God's word in your nation.
I'm going to use you to bring about restoration
to my church. There shall be a cleansing of my
church. There shall be a restoration of truth
on the pulpits in our churches. And I'm raising
you an army, an army that will bring about the
revelation of truth. That the church is brought
back to its line, to its initial plan. That I'm
using you as a new breed of men and women. That
will establish truth on the pulpits. That will
bring about the revelation of the truth of God's
word in this generation. This generation needs
men and women. And I'm revealing the truth to
you. And investing my word in you. I'm investing
my spirit in you. So that you can rise. So that
you can speak. So that you can reveal the truth
to this generation. I'm raising you as men full
of the spirit. With boldness. By the power of
the Holy Ghost. With signs and wonders accompanying.
I'm raising you as men of unction. As men full
of utterances. As you go about to preach. Eyes
of men are open. As you lay hands on the sick.
Healings are happening. As you speak to men.
Revelation of truth is passed to them. There
is transformation in nations through your hands,
through your words, through the preaching of
the gospel. I'm using you to change generations.
I'm using you to even raise leaders for tomorrow.
I'm using you to bless this generation and the
one to come. I'm using you to bring about the
establishment of the kingdom of God in the life
of men in the name of Jesus Christ. Glory to
God. Glory to God. Glory to God. Glory to God.
Glory to God. I perceive a staring much more
in our hearts. Can we pray in tongues? There's
a staring. I perceive that. Can anybody confirm
that too? Yes, I perceive. I perceive that. I
perceive that much more. Okay, yeah. There's
someone confirming it already. Thank you, Father.
In Jesus' name we pray. In the name of Jesus.
So we can say that tongues are abilities in the
spirit of the believer. You can write this now
and then we close on this. We're going to have
much more to build upon this that we have. At
least we have given a good introduction on tongues,
right? Haven't we given a good introduction?
Yes, this is a perfect introduction on tongues.
Amen? So we can say that tongues is an ability
in the spirit of the believer. It's an ability
in the spirit of the believer. Or a spiritual
mode of communication to God by believers verbalized
clearly in the Spirit. You see, that word carefully,
verbalize. Or a spiritual mode of communication
to God by believers verbalized clearly in what?
In the Spirit. Verbalized clearly in the Spirit.
Thank you, Holy Spirit. So write this. Tongues
is not a human language which can be learned.
Neither is it an evolution of a language. Tongues
is not a human language which can be what? Which
can be learned. And it's not also an evolution
of what? Of language. And then write this now.
That tongues is a post -resurrection reality
we have in Christ Jesus. Glory to God. It's a
post -resurrection reality that we have in who?
In Christ Jesus. Oh, thank you, Holy Spirit.
I still can remember when my mom gave her life
to Christ and began to speak in tongues. It was
something joyful for her. Every night. Every
night I will hear my mom. You know my mom. Every
night always my mom will be praying. Every night.
One of these days I came from school. So I was
dreaming. You know when you're in secondary school
and you have seniors. The ones that beat you.
The ones that love you. The ones that you always
dream with them. I dream with one of my seniors.
You know. And in the dreaming I was talking.
In the dream. I dreamt that, you know, except
it has not happened to you. If you're in boarding
school, once it's close to going back, you don't
like it. So that night I was dreaming that I
reached school and then I saw one of my seniors.
His name is Twanga. So, and then we call him
Tumsi. So in the dream, I was like, Tumsi, Tumsi.
So I didn't know from the dream, I now sounded.
Because we sleep with my mom around. I now woke
up, I saw my mom. I rebuke the spirit of Tumsi.
I rebuke the spirit of Tumsi. I rebuke the spirit
of Tumsi. Except my mom is sick. I've never had
a night where she... Some of you have those kind
of mothers. I've never seen a night where she
does not pray. She said, the Lord is showing
me this. The Lord has opened my eyes. The Lord
has opened my eyes. The Lord has opened my eyes.
I saw this. I saw that. I saw this. I remember
she said, I should not come back home. I should
stay in Cyprus. Because she saw that I came home,
I never returned. So I bought my ticket without
telling her. I'm telling you, they didn't know
I bought my ticket when I was going home. They
didn't know. See, just have several dreams. I
return home. She has prayed. Nothing will bring
me. And she has prayed about it. When the time
came, I bought my ticket without telling them.
So it's a post -restoration what? Reality that
we have in who? In who? In who? So please write
this down, the last statement, and then we jump
into interpretation of tongues. Praise God. In
fact, let me put it so you can personalize it.
Say my joy. Write it. My joy. No, write it. Write
it. My joy and confidence when speaking in tongues.
My joy and confidence when speaking in tongues
is that I have a spiritual communication with
the Father. That also defines my fellowship with
Him. My joy and confidence when speaking in tongues
is that what? I have a spiritual communication
with the Father. Right? Have you written that?
I have a spiritual communication with the Father
which defines what? My fellowship. Which also
defines my fellowship with Him. Hallelujah. Praise
God. Hallelujah. So this is a beautiful way to
start out on what? On tongues. Amen? Hallelujah.
Praise God. Yes, so, we're on point. We're on
point. Because once we do interpretation of tongues,
we're already automatically also doing what?
Prophecy. Praise God. Hallelujah. Are we all
here? Have we been blessed so far? Have we been
blessed so far? Are we going to pray more in
tongues? Are we going to pray more in tongues?
You see, these words are not only blessing you.
If you know the way I'm blessed, I'm feeling
like for the sake of teaching. If not, we are
keeping this now. We will take one hour stretch,
steady. We will cruise first. One hour. You know
yesterday what Pastor Victor just gave us? Have
you noticed that one hour is more for us now?
When praying in tongues, have you noticed that?
Yes. In fact, sir, even the time of catechism
is even getting distant. Yes. Yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes. We either make it two weeks or we make
it five to nine. Oh, is that five to nine? Nine
to nine. Do you know why? So that when we come,
right, other sessions are going to be finishing
in the evening. No, let's reason this together.
Let's reason. Let's plan. Let's plan this together.
Let's plan. Let's plan. So, let's plan this.
Come on now. What I'm saying is your mind can
understand it. Now, let's reason this together.
So, we now have morning session. We now have
afternoon session. We take our lunch. Right?
So, when we take our lunch, we're not coming
for a session. We now enter town. Whatever that
we have learned, we go and practicalize it. You
get? So, from that afternoon, Till five, we are
unfilled. Right? Yeah, so for example now, when
we finish tongues, interpretation of tongues,
and then prophecy, right? By then we have been
taught on baptism with the Holy Ghost, right?
So we have the knowledge. And how to get people
baptized with the Holy Ghost. Right? So when
we now go out that afternoon, are you all with
me? We are making a good plan now. So we will
now go out. When we now go out. We now do that.
Everybody. When we now do it, from where you
are, you're not going home. We are coming back
here. So when we come back here, we'll take like
two hours to refresh in the Holy Ghost tongues.
Then we'll now have evening session. Does this
look like believers meeting? Praise God. Hallelujah.
Somebody say oh boy. Praise God. It's your church.
Church will kill you. It has never killed us.
It has given us eternal life. I will say this
before we start. When I was in university, because
I've been, this thing we have been doing, I've
been doing it from primary school till now. Let
me use the word that they use. We've been church
boys. I got to university. Then someone told
me, someone very close to me, he told me, he
said, they used to say I'm smart. They used to
say I'm smart. I'm still smart. So, So when I
got to university, we got to university to graduate
with first class, but we got busy with watching
movies and we're doing this, you know. But in
between, we're still doing ministry, you know,
but we're not reading books, not reading our
books. So after one year, they released my results.
We got, see, we entered to get first class and
also 2 .98, 2 .98 in five bands. Second class
lower. Ah. That was the first time I understood
the power of association. All the people we watch
movies with were on two points. All of us. Even
the ones studying medicine. But you know 2 .89
in medical school is a pass. So then their names
came out, they are pass. I changed my friends
first year. Second year, I changed a classroom.
So, then this person called me. He said, I noticed
that. You've been wasting your time. You've been
saying you're doing church, church, church, church,
church. And you're not reading your books. Even
me with my church, I still graduated close to
first class. 4 .4 something. That's what I'm
trying to tell me. I just forgot about the distance.
I continue on my life. Fast forward into many
years. I'm in Cyprus. Now say, see, I'm proud
of you people. Because, you see, ministry is
your life. This is what you should be doing.
This is this, this, this, this. I say, what were
we doing before? Be hardworking. Excel in academics.
Excel in your natural life. Excel in business.
Excel in everything. But ensure that your relationship
with Jesus, the work of ministry is first. Hallelujah.
Let me say like Paul would say, everything shall
pass away. Your certificate will pass. Everything,
whatever. In fact, Christ would say, the life
of a man is not consisted in the abundance of
things he works. Yes. Say, I found meaning. I've
found meaning. And that meaning is defined. And
that meaning is defined. And that meaning is
established in Christ Jesus. And I'm going to
follow it till the end. Hallelujah. Interpretation
of tongues. Are we all here? Yes, interpretation
of tongues. Let's go. Interpretation of tongues.
1 Corinthians chapter 14. Verse 5, everybody.
1 Corinthians chapter 14, verse 5. I would that
ye all, what? Speak with tongues. We already
established all, right? But rather that ye may,
what? That ye, what? For greater is he that prophesied
than he that speaketh with tongues, except he
what? That the church may receive what? A defiant.
Praise God. Right? So which means that tongues
cannot be understood except they are what? Interpreted.
And in the believer is tongues and in the believer
is interpretation. Have we established that?
That the believer has tongues and the believer
also has what? Interpretations. Praise God. Now,
the word interpretation. Oh, before we go that,
let's go to that chapter 12. Let's read chapter
12 so that we establish a proper doctrine there.
1 Corinthians chapter 12. Verse 10. To another,
the walking of miracles, to another prophecy,
to another discerning of spirits, to another
what? Diverse kinds of tongues. If you're using
King James Version, you see that diverse is italicized.
Which means that in the original context, it
wasn't what? It wasn't there. Just say kinds
of tongues. Right? And when you check the original
word for that, kinds, it talks about nation.
A people. Right? Yes. So a people with a kind
of tongue. Praise God. To another, the interpretation
of what? Of tongues. So in the believer, we have
tongues. And in the believer, we have what? Interpretation
of what? Of tongues. Praise God. Is that okay?
Good, so interpretation. That word interpretation,
which we have handled here, is from the word
diarmenio. Diermenio. D -I -E -R -M -E, the Greek
word for it, D -I -E -R -M -E -N -E -U -O. Diermenio.
D -I -E -R -M -E -N -E -O -U -O. Which is a combination
of two Greek words, dia and hermenio. Diermenio.
D -I -E -R -M -E -N -E -U -O. From two words,
dia and what? Hermenio. Hermenio is H -E -R -M
-E -N -U -E -O. Same word with dia, just put
her. H -E -R. Dia means two. In the midst of
two. Between two. D -I -A, dia, means what? Two.
In the midst of two. Amongst two. Please don't
forget we are talking about interpretation of
what? Tongues. We have already established tongues,
right? That is for all believers. It's in all
believers. And all believers should pray in tongues.
Are we here? So now we are talking about interpretation
of what? Of tongues. So in the midst of two,
dia means in the midst of two, between two or
amongst two. So whereas, hermeneo implies to
explain or to expound. To explain. Hermeneo is
what? To explain. To expound. So if we are going
to now define diarmeneo properly, we are going
to say, To give detail or complete explanation.
To give detail or complete explanation. To give
detail or complete explanation. That is to cut
across two languages. Daya, Hermenio. Hermenio
is said to explain, right? Daya means in the
midst of two, right? So, dia hermenio or dia
menio, right? It means to give complete or detailed
explanation. And such type of explanation cuts
across two communications. Two languages. Such
communication will cut across what? Two languages
and more. Are we all here? Yes, so that is their
menu. So what we are saying is that when we have
interpretation of tongues, is that now we are
bringing importance, right, to tongues. So when
I pray in tongues and I interpret it, now I bring
significance to it. Hallelujah. It does not become
a jest again. It does not become a mockery. Are
we all here? So when a tongue is interpreted,
you know we said diarmenia means to do what?
To explain, complete explanation, a detailed
explanation, right? So now when I interpret tongues,
what is happening is that I'm bringing a complete
explanation. I'm bringing significance. To the
communication. Are we all here? Is it clear so
far? So, for example, now, 1 Corinthians 45,
where we read, he said, I will that ye all speak
with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied.
For greater is he that what? Prophesied than
he that speaketh with what? Except he what? Except
your Bible. Except he. Except he interprets.
So take the meaning of diarmenio and put in that
place. Except he what? Interprets. So you see,
when he gives a complete explanation, then the
church is what? Edified. Are we all here? The
church is edified. See verse 13 now. 1 Corinthians
14, 13. For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my
spirit what? No, no, no, 13, sorry. 1 Corinthians
14, 13. Wherefore, let him that speaketh in an
unknown tongue pray that he what? That he interprets.
Who interprets? Who interprets? The speaker.
Amen? Perfect. We're all here then. 26, verse
26. How it is then that brethren, when you come
together, every one of you, all of you, Every
one of you had a psalm, had a doctrine, had a
tongue, had a revelation, had a what? Interpretation.
Let all things be done unto what? Edifying. Does
this look like verse 5? That when you pray in
tongues and you interpret, edification comes
to the church. Does it look like it? Perfect.
We are all on the same line now. Verse 27 now.
If any man speak in an unknown tongue, let it
be by two or at most by three. Let's under by
cause and let one what? Interpret. Can you see
interpretation again? So all the place you have
seen, tongues, tongues, tongues. The next thing
you have seen is what? Interpretation. Let there
be interpretation. Praise God. Because that's
where significance come to it. Are we all here?
C28. But if there be no interpreter, let him
keep silence in the church. And let him speak
to himself. And what? Somebody will say. That
is it. I don't know why they keep disturbing
us. About this tongue stone. They say if there
be no interpreter. Then we should do what? We
should shut up. Let me say the one that. You
know. The pastor said, which tongue is that?
Tongues of my people. You know, I told my wife,
I said, for a long time, I had something to do
with Yoruba people. I had a long time. But some
people were arguing then in family house that
they know I will marry a Yoruba person. They
were seriously arguing in the kitchen. Even in
the midst of, there were lots of Igbo people
around. They said, no, they know. And for whatever
reason, I need to know. Every other information
concealed. That was a joke. Praise God. Hallelujah.
Oh my God. Oh, not by God. Ah, okay. We are back.
Let me be serious. Let me be serious. Oh God.
Thank you, Jesus. So, so what we see in the scriptures,
we see interpretation and interpret. Interpretation
and what? Interpret, interchangeably, right?
Yeah, so. We see that interpretation and interpret
is from same word, Hermenia. Right? Hermenia.
From the same root word, Hermenio. So, which
means, it implies to give what? To give meaning.
To expound. Right? Right, to give meaning. However,
Hermenio in itself is not complete yet. Because
when you Hermenio, right, what is happening is
that you are leaving some information. But when
you diarmenio, you ensure that all informations
are passed across. Are we all here? Because what
is happening is that now, you are going to cut
across everywhere to ensure that there is proper
understanding. Question. Luke 24, 27. Now, let's
see. What Jesus did, he didn't do diarmenio.
He did what? He did what? The Emmanuel. Luke
24, verse 27. Then he said from 25, then he said
unto them, all fools and slow of heart to believe
all that the prophets have what? All that the
prophets have what? All that the prophets have
what? Spoken, we have had that in this church
now, so don't get cold on me. 26, ought not Christ
to have suffered these things and to enter into
his what? 27, all together. And beginning at,
and beginning at, was Moses written in English
language? Was Moses written in English language?
It was written in what? In Hebrew, right? And
all the prophets, praise God, he expounded unto
them in what? In all what? Scriptures, the things
concerning what? Himself. Pastor Victor taught
us here, right? The primary languages that the
scripture was written is what and what, what
and what, what and what? Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic.
Does it look like English language to you? So
if now I want to explain something in Hebrew,
in Greek and Aramaic to you, and I just only
use Greek. And then I needed to carry an important
information that have a contextual meaning that
should help you. And that word is now in Hebrew.
I said Greek, right? The first. Okay, let's start
with Hebrew. And then I have an important information
that will carry a good context in Greek. And
I refuse to say anything about it. And in the
midst where I'm supposed to make that emphasis,
I'll tell you that. Hope you understand. I conceal
it entirely and don't say it. And I finish. Will
it leave you with understanding or it will leave
you with questions? Eh? It will leave you with
questions because the communication is not complete.
Amen? So, what Jesus did here, he said, I'm beginning
at Moses and what? All the prophets, he expounded.
That word expounded is diarmenio. On to them,
in what? Underline the word. It's your Bible.
Underline the word. All the scriptures. The things
concerning who? Himself. Hallelujah. Praise God.
That's what Christ did. And that's what we are
seeing. Praise God. Are we all here? Are we all
here? So that word expounded was translated from
the same Greek word, which means to explain in
detail and completely. In detail. And what? Completely.
So Jesus didn't just barely read the Old Testament
and just, you know, just went through events
and stories like that and just passed by. No,
no, no, no, no. What he did is that he systematically
cut across every part of the scriptures to talk
about the things concerning himself. So diarmenio
is that you are systematically cutting across
what? Everywhere. To give a complete explanation.
Are we all here? This is important when it comes
to interpretation of tongues. Because it's going
to help us. Amen? Good. So now, hence when we
say interpretation of tongues, right? Are we
all here with me? When we say interpretation
of tongues, we're not talking about translation
of tongues. Please write it down. When we say
interpretation of tongues, we don't mean what?
Translation of what? Of tongues. That's why Pastor
Victor mentioned, when I heard it, I was laughing.
That G .P .T. is now... translating tongues.
Because he's not interpreting it. In fact, I
don't know. JGBT will tell you that this is a
gibberish. It's a confused language. I want to
say something, but let me keep quiet. He's not
a brother. So interpretation of tongues is not
what? Translation of tongues. Why? We have established
that tongues is a supernatural what? Communication.
It's a supernatural language. So it's not translated.
It can only be interpreted. Hallelujah. Praise
God. Praise God. So we can't say explain your
tongues. Because if we are saying you should
explain your tongues, what we are saying directly
is that we are carrying all the syllables of
what you are saying, right? And we are not giving
meaning to them. That's confusion. Praise God.
But rather it is what? Interpretation of what?
Of tongues. Are we all here? Are we all here?
Are we all here? So when we say interpretation
of tongues, again, what we are saying in essence
is that we are giving meaning to tongues. We
are uncovering the information inside tongues.
We are uncovering the information inside tongues.
You see, this should be a huge comfort to your
heart that you're not just praying in tongues
only, but you can interpret the tongues. Hallelujah.
That you are uncovering the information, what?
In the tongues. So there is an explanation to
the outcome of your discussion with God. Praise
God. Let me say this, it's so beautiful. There
is an explanation to the what? To the outcome
of your discussion with God. So, having said
this, We will say this now. Interpretation of
tongues does not come from your mind. It comes
from the Spirit. You see why you cannot translate
it? Interpretation of tongues comes from where?
It does not come from your what? Your mind. It
comes from where? Your Spirit. The same source.
The Spirit gives tongues is also the Spirit that
gives what? Interpretation. Hallelujah. So, what
interpretation does from the spirit is that interpretation
brings explanation to the human mind. So that
the human mind can understand and be edified.
Interpretation of tongues brings what? Explanation
to the what? To the human mind. Not that from
the human mind interpretation comes. But rather,
interpretation of tongues comes from the spirit
to where? To the human mind. So that the human
mind can understand and be edified. Are we all
here? Praise God. Praise God. So now, 1 Corinthians
chapter 14 verse 1 now. 1 Corinthians 14, verse
1. 1 Corinthians 14, verse 1. Follow after charity
and desire spiritual words. Please, media team,
that you are not putting this thing online. I
hope you are going through your Bible. Okay.
Follow after charity. Verse 1. Everybody. Follow
after charity and desire what? But rather that
ye may prophesy. Amen. 2. For he that speaketh
in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men but
unto God. We have done much more work on this.
For no man understand how be it in the spirit
he speaks what? Mysteries. But he that prophesies
speaketh not unto men and speaketh unto men to
edification. Right? Can you see that prophecy?
Unto men is what? Edification. Tongues plus interpretation
is what? Prophecy. Which brings what? Edification.
That's what is in verse 5. Are we all here? And
exhortation and comfort. Verse 4. He that speaketh
in an unknown tongue edified what? Himself. Because
it's a communication between you and God. Right?
But he that prophesied edified what? The church.
Five now. I would that ye all speak with tongues,
but rather that ye prophesy. For greater is he
that prophesied than he that speaketh with tongues,
except he interprets that the church may receive
what? Edifying. Prophecy edifies. Tongues and
interpretation of tongues also edifies. So that
is where tongues plus interpretation becomes
what? Prophecy. I say add another equal to noun
edification. Is it clear? Is it clear? You see,
that's why I say, anytime you talk about tongues,
don't ever stop there. They say, I want to pray
in tongues. Don't stop there. Say, I want to
pray in tongues and what? Interpret or what?
Prophesy. Is that clear? Is that clear? You see,
when that happens, oh boy, the place will be
on fire. Praise God. Praise God. Are we all here?
So now, verse 1. We're going to do a little word
study and then build on this. Oh, perfect. Verse
1 now. Verse 1 started by saying follow after.
That word follow after is translated from the
Greek word dioko. Dioko. D -I -O -K -O. Dioko.
Follow after. It's from the word what? Dioko.
It means to pursue. To pursue. Praise God. To
pursue something. To press towards something.
Dioko. To press something. To press towards something.
Are we all there? Have we written that already?
Dioko. D -I -O -K -O. Follow after. That word
follow after means dioko. To pursue. To pursue.
To press towards. Then we now have charity. We
know charity, Agape. Everybody knows charity.
If my Bible is charity, in your translation,
it might be what? It might be love. Praise God.
Are we all there? So I don't need to give this
one. So the word desire is a follow after charity
and desire. You see, we are doing a word study
now. We are going... In that verse now. We're
still in verse 1. The word desire. There's a
reason for that. The word desire. Are we all
there? It's from the Greek word zelo. Zelo. Z
-E -L -O -O. Zelo. I love this word. I love this
word. And that word zelo means to boil with passion.
To boil over something with passion. To boil.
To boil. When you check the root word for zillow,
you realize that that meaning is that what? To
be hot. To be hot. When you check the root word
for zillow, z -e -l -o -o, it means what? The
root word for it is to be hot, to be fervent.
Amen? So which means the believer should not
have desires after the things of the Spirit that
are just casual. Praise God. So your desire should
not be what? Your desire for the spiritual should
not be what? Casual. It should be hot. It should
be on fire. It should be fervent. Then the next
thing there you see is gifts. So if you check,
if you're using King James Version like mine,
you see the gifts there is italicized, right?
Now, by now, I don't even need to say it again.
By now, I'll just move on. By now, if you're
using King James Version, anytime, if you're
seeing... If you are seeing a word that is bent,
just know that translators bended it inside.
I don't know if there is a word like that. Yes,
for English meaning. So that the human mind can
understand. Are we all there? But we have learned
in this church that that word there is not what?
Gifts. You talk about what? Spirituals, right?
Have we not learned it here? Have we been taught
about it? Church, have we been taught about it?
Okay. Before we tear out a sheet of paper now.
I'll write a fast quiz. And then we say spiritualize
is what? Tell me now, spiritualize is what? Pneumaticus,
right? Okay, so let's move on now. Are we all
here? So he now says what? Follow after. Pursue
love. And also what? Be fervent. Boiled with
passion. Regarding what? Spirituals. But he now
say. But rather that ye may what? Prophesy. That
word rather. Write it down. That word rather.
Because now somebody will say. That is why he
say. If I can't actually follow the spirituals.
I think I better stick with my prophecy. I think
my prophecy is okay. That's why did that place
say rather. If I stay. No. That's not what the
scripture says there. So, write the word rather.
So, that word rather is translated from the word
malon. Malon. M -A -L -L -O -N. Malon. M -A -L
-L -O -N. And the meaning of malon means much
more. Can you see? It's not the rather in your
English language. Paul would have not been writing
this in English, no? Right? Yeah, so much more.
He said much more or so much the more. Malon.
Much more or what? So much what? The more. I'm
saying this here so that when we finish now,
we will now use all the meanings and you'll put
in that verse and read it. Amen? So, much more.
It does not refer to opposites. That word rather
prophesy does not refer to what? Opposite. He's
not saying follow after. Oppositely. Just what?
Prophesy. No. It does not refer to the opposites.
Much more or so much what? The more. Prophecy
now. That word prophecy from the Greek word prophetio.

So with what we have done now, this short word
study now, let's carry it and put it inside verse
1. Everybody now. Are we all there? Can we do
that? Can we do that? Can we do that? Okay, let's
put it. Yes, pursue after charity and boil with
passion over spirituals, but much more that you
may speak by what? So what he's saying is the
same thing. Hallelujah. He's not saying that
if you feel spirituals are not working, then
take prophecy. No, no, no, no, no, no. You see?
Paul carefully started this communication because
the whole of that chapter is all about prophecy.
And we started out by saying that, what is prophecy?
What is prophecy? Speaking by inspiration, right?
Okay, so when we say tongues plus interpretation
of tongues becomes what? Prophecy leads to edification.
So the whole of that chapter is about tongues
and interpretation of tongues. Or you can say
the whole of that chapter is about prophecy.
The whole of that chapter is about edification.
Praise God. Hallelujah. Do we have this understanding?
So you see, when a believer prays in tongues
and a believer interprets the tongues, it's equal
to prophecy. What he's doing is that he's bringing
what? Edification. Praise God. Hallelujah. So
you see, that is why you have to, let me say
this now, it's coming to my spirit. Your desires
regarding the things of the spirit should never
be cold. Your desires to see the supernatural
should never be what? Should never be cold. Let
it be on fire. Let it be on, let it be hot. Let
it always be fervent. When we say, pray in tongues,
or let me say it this way. When we say, can you
hold the hands of your neighbor? Pray in tongues
for the next 15 minutes and we do that. And say,
give the person a word by the Spirit. Don't begin
to do... Just give the person the word. Hallelujah.
Let it be. Desire. Desire. Desire. Your desire
for the word of knowledge should not be casual.
Your desire for the prophetic should not be casual.
Your desire for tongues and interpretation of
tongues should not be casual. Your desire for
gifts of faith should not be casual. Your desire
for walking of miracles. should not be what?
Casual. Be on fire. See, it should be so hot
on fire that when you sleep, you see yourself
ministering to people. I'm telling you this now.
Should be this. When you sleep, in your dreams,
whether you are awake, whether they call it non
-REM sleep or REM sleep, any of the sleeps, It
should not be casual. Every time you hear a mention
of the supernatural, oh boy, let it excite you.
Every time you hear a mention of the supernatural,
let it what? Excite you because we are talking
about your reality. We are taken over by the
spirit of God. Hallelujah. We are winning many
souls by the spirit of God. We are getting many
people filled with the Spirit by the Spirit of
God. We are preaching the gospel to different
nations by the Spirit of God. How many of us
in this meeting have received word for the pastors?
Any of the pastors? They have given me mine yesterday.
In fact, I've started praying with it. How many
of us have received word for any of the pastors
throughout this session? How many of us have
received what? Matthew, come. Queen, come. Sam,

on sports. Do you know what I would do? Do you
know what I would want to give them money? I
just started calling names. You are already,
your face is turning. Come. Four people, right?
Favor, come. Jesus. He said, Jesus. He's the
son of the living God. My brother in cap. Yes,
come. He said, ah. My chest. It's not your chest.
Nothing has happened. He's not the one that did
it. Somebody did it. How many people? Is it six?
