Stay with us until 00:00:13.939 --> 00:00:17.879 the end for a rewarding experience. Let's dive 00:00:17.879 --> 00:00:22.460 right in. So today we're going to be looking 00:00:22.460 --> 00:00:33.670 at what to do after Kazatismos. what to do after 00:00:33.670 --> 00:00:38.210 a cathartismus, or what to do after a believer's 00:00:38.210 --> 00:00:45.229 meeting or a conference. Because the city said 00:00:45.229 --> 00:00:48.869 that he sensed that there is going to be more 00:00:48.869 --> 00:00:52.530 prayers coming. Praise the Lord. So if you're 00:00:52.530 --> 00:00:56.189 doubting if God is amidst us, there is your confirmation 00:00:56.189 --> 00:00:59.329 that truly God is amidst us. praise the lord 00:00:59.329 --> 00:01:04.349 because there's going to be more prayers more 00:01:04.349 --> 00:01:09.189 prayers for those who were around more prayers 00:01:09.189 --> 00:01:14.010 for those who were not around to get a glimpse 00:01:14.010 --> 00:01:19.689 of what they have missed praise the lord and 00:01:19.689 --> 00:01:25.469 for them to also be impacted so what to do after 00:01:25.469 --> 00:01:37.219 a believers Conference. Acts chapter 2. Acts 00:01:37.219 --> 00:01:50.200 chapter 2 verse 42. Acts chapter 2 verse 42. 00:01:57.879 --> 00:02:00.620 fellowship, in breaking of bread and in prayers. 00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:05.140 Then fear came upon every soul, and many wonders 00:02:05.140 --> 00:02:08.740 and signs were done through the apostles. Now 00:02:08.740 --> 00:02:13.879 all who believed were together and had all things 00:02:13.879 --> 00:02:17.439 in common, and sold their possessions and goods 00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:22.379 and divided them among all, as anyone had need. 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.439 Verse 46 So continually daily with one accord 00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:30.460 in the temple and breaking of bread from house 00:02:30.460 --> 00:02:34.199 to house, they ate their food with gladness and 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:37.400 simplicity of heart, praising God and having 00:02:37.400 --> 00:02:40.280 favor with all the people. And the Lord added 00:02:40.280 --> 00:02:46.860 to the church daily those who were being saved. 00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:49.979 Praise the Lord. What to do after Catholicism? 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:52.680 The first thing that we do after a believer's 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:56.719 conference, after... Such a time in the presence 00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.439 of God is to continue in the doctrines that we 00:03:00.439 --> 00:03:03.860 have been taught. Praise the Lord. To continue 00:03:03.860 --> 00:03:06.080 in the doctrines that we have been taught. To 00:03:06.080 --> 00:03:09.879 continue in the things that has been given to 00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:12.840 us. Praise the Lord. The things that has been 00:03:12.840 --> 00:03:17.490 taking time every day. for one hour, 40 minutes, 00:03:17.610 --> 00:03:20.590 one hour, 40 minutes, two hours, all those teachings 00:03:20.590 --> 00:03:23.830 to continue in them, to go back to them and to 00:03:23.830 --> 00:03:27.050 look at them again and to ensure that they are 00:03:27.050 --> 00:03:30.469 part of our lives. Praise the Lord. So is the 00:03:30.469 --> 00:03:32.610 practice of what we see in the heart of the apostles, 00:03:32.930 --> 00:03:35.689 that they continue in the apostles' doctrine. 00:03:36.289 --> 00:03:39.629 They continue in it. Praise the Lord. It means 00:03:39.629 --> 00:03:42.289 they were in it. They were there. Praise the 00:03:42.289 --> 00:03:45.129 Lord. They were inside of it. They never stopped. 00:03:46.169 --> 00:03:50.069 They steadfastly continued. They were devoted 00:03:50.069 --> 00:03:54.229 to the apostoosh doctrines. They paid careful 00:03:54.229 --> 00:03:56.969 attention to the things that they have been taught. 00:03:57.110 --> 00:04:01.949 Praise the Lord. They cherish it. I remember 00:04:01.949 --> 00:04:06.370 the last time we were looking at Matthew 28, 00:04:06.629 --> 00:04:10.389 and we said that it's to keep as though what 00:04:10.389 --> 00:04:13.340 you have is going to be lost. Praise the Lord. 00:04:13.460 --> 00:04:16.800 To pay careful attention to the things that you 00:04:16.800 --> 00:04:20.259 have been taught. They devoted themselves to 00:04:20.259 --> 00:04:22.980 the apostate's doctrines. They continued in it. 00:04:23.220 --> 00:04:25.620 Praise the Lord. So what did we say doctrine 00:04:25.620 --> 00:04:28.220 was? For those who were around, what did we say 00:04:28.220 --> 00:04:33.800 doctrine was? It was a specific teaching. Praise 00:04:33.800 --> 00:04:36.779 the Lord. It's a specific teaching, right? To 00:04:36.779 --> 00:04:40.939 speak in the way of teaching. To, to, to, to... 00:04:41.449 --> 00:04:45.610 To give instruction. Praise the Lord. And we 00:04:45.610 --> 00:04:49.149 said that doctrine is a good doctrine or the 00:04:49.149 --> 00:04:52.529 doctrine is centered in Christ. Praise the Lord. 00:04:52.750 --> 00:04:57.629 It is centered in Christ. So I want to find out 00:04:57.629 --> 00:04:59.670 the people that can still remember the things 00:04:59.670 --> 00:05:02.189 they have been given. Praise the Lord. So what 00:05:02.189 --> 00:05:05.629 are the doctrines that you have been taught in 00:05:05.629 --> 00:05:10.360 the Believer's Conference? Randomly, what are 00:05:10.360 --> 00:05:14.860 the doctrines that you have been taught? Anybody? 00:05:15.060 --> 00:05:17.980 You can raise your hand. What are the doctrines 00:05:17.980 --> 00:05:25.079 that you have been taught? Yes. Laying of hands. 00:05:25.420 --> 00:05:33.519 Okay. You see? Manifesting the kingdom. Okay. 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:45.600 Tongues are the instabilization, leading of the 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:48.680 Spirit. Praise the Lord. There have been doctrines 00:05:48.680 --> 00:05:50.759 that you have been taught. There are things that 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.800 have been taken time to ensure that you learn. 00:05:55.220 --> 00:05:58.220 Praise the Lord. So the Bible tells us to continue 00:05:58.220 --> 00:06:00.839 in them. The things we do after the Believer's 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:03.819 Conference is to continue in the doctrines that 00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:06.180 we have been taught. To pay careful attention 00:06:06.180 --> 00:06:09.959 to them. To be committed to them. Praise the 00:06:09.959 --> 00:06:15.160 Lord. to pay careful attention to them, to listen 00:06:15.160 --> 00:06:19.079 to them again. We have these messages online. 00:06:19.500 --> 00:06:22.819 We can go back and listen to it again until it 00:06:22.819 --> 00:06:27.420 is a part of you. Praise the Lord. Until somebody 00:06:27.420 --> 00:06:30.279 asks you, what is the doctrine of laying off 00:06:30.279 --> 00:06:32.720 of hands? You will not say, let me go and get 00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:35.180 my Bible. I mean, you can do that, but it is 00:06:35.180 --> 00:06:37.500 something that you can explain and go further 00:06:37.500 --> 00:06:39.949 in the scriptures to explain more. Praise the 00:06:39.949 --> 00:06:43.310 Lord. Because it has become a part of you. That 00:06:43.310 --> 00:06:45.889 is how you learn. That is what you do after a 00:06:45.889 --> 00:06:48.750 believer's conference. Praise the Lord. As we 00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:51.050 are praying and singing, we say that there is 00:06:51.050 --> 00:06:54.149 a new level. Praise the Lord. There is a new 00:06:54.149 --> 00:06:57.250 level. Revival has occurred in your life. Praise 00:06:57.250 --> 00:07:00.670 the Lord. Revival has occurred in your life as 00:07:00.670 --> 00:07:05.189 a result of this one week. So revival, we don't... 00:07:05.560 --> 00:07:08.000 Well, maybe you're looking forward to a time 00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.519 where people are praying and then somebody is 00:07:10.519 --> 00:07:13.259 crying. Somebody is in a flow. You say truly 00:07:13.259 --> 00:07:15.740 a revival have happened here. A true revival 00:07:15.740 --> 00:07:19.519 is word centered. Praise the Lord. A true revival 00:07:19.519 --> 00:07:23.740 is to show the believers the things they have 00:07:23.740 --> 00:07:26.500 in God. Praise the Lord. And these teachings 00:07:26.500 --> 00:07:30.360 that we have had and this one week that we have 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.459 had has shown us through the word the things 00:07:33.459 --> 00:07:36.209 that the believers had. It is word -centered. 00:07:37.009 --> 00:07:40.089 Praise the Lord. So a revival has happened in 00:07:40.089 --> 00:07:43.649 your life. Praise the Lord. So you can put it 00:07:43.649 --> 00:07:46.649 as a date. I remember I was joking with one of 00:07:46.649 --> 00:07:51.129 the people in the secretariat team, and I said 00:07:51.129 --> 00:07:54.649 to them that these tags that we're giving, I 00:07:54.649 --> 00:07:56.930 want to keep it somewhere. And I'll put it like 00:07:56.930 --> 00:07:59.730 a card. You know people that keep cards. Praise 00:07:59.730 --> 00:08:02.310 the Lord. So that 10 years from now, you will 00:08:02.310 --> 00:08:05.509 say, or I will say that I was there that day 00:08:05.509 --> 00:08:08.290 when it happened, when revival happened, because 00:08:08.290 --> 00:08:11.329 we were taught the word. Praise the Lord. And 00:08:11.329 --> 00:08:13.810 how can I say, or how can I continue to say that 00:08:13.810 --> 00:08:17.069 is until I continue in the doctrines that have 00:08:17.069 --> 00:08:20.189 been taught, until those things become a part 00:08:20.189 --> 00:08:24.370 of my life. Praise the Lord. If those things 00:08:24.370 --> 00:08:27.069 do not benefit you or do not continue to benefit 00:08:27.069 --> 00:08:30.199 you, then you cannot keep such things. Praise 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:33.419 the Lord. So we continue in the apostasy doctrines. 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:37.919 We continue in them. We listen to it again until 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.899 it has become a part of us. Why do we need to 00:08:40.899 --> 00:08:43.360 continue in them? Why do we need to listen to 00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:58.200 them again? 2 Timothy 3, verse 16. He said, all 00:08:58.200 --> 00:09:01.740 scriptures, is given by inspiration of God and 00:09:01.740 --> 00:09:04.879 is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for 00:09:04.879 --> 00:09:07.919 correction, for instruction in righteousness. 00:09:08.379 --> 00:09:12.860 17. That the man of God may be complete or thoroughly 00:09:12.860 --> 00:09:15.659 equipped for every good work. Praise the Lord. 00:09:16.259 --> 00:09:18.980 It is good that you continue in this doctrine 00:09:18.980 --> 00:09:24.299 because it will equip you. Praise the Lord. It 00:09:24.299 --> 00:09:27.539 will thoroughly furnish you. It will thoroughly 00:09:28.409 --> 00:09:32.830 equip you for good works. There is fruit in your 00:09:32.830 --> 00:09:36.649 life. Praise the Lord. That we continue, it helps 00:09:36.649 --> 00:09:39.490 us to understand the Scriptures. Praise the Lord. 00:09:39.669 --> 00:09:42.389 We saw how the doctrines were taught. They were 00:09:42.389 --> 00:09:44.830 not just taught from one place. They were taught 00:09:44.830 --> 00:09:48.470 from the entirety of the Scriptures. It helps 00:09:48.470 --> 00:09:51.669 you understand the Scripture, how to read it 00:09:51.669 --> 00:09:54.289 properly, or how to understand it properly, how 00:09:54.289 --> 00:09:59.299 to interpret it properly. The same 2 Timothy 00:09:59.299 --> 00:10:11.740 chapter 4, verse 3 to 4. 3 to 4. He said, For 00:10:11.740 --> 00:10:13.600 the time will come when they will not endure 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:16.820 sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, 00:10:17.240 --> 00:10:19.620 because they have eating ears, they will heap 00:10:19.620 --> 00:10:22.799 up for themselves teachers, and they will turn 00:10:22.799 --> 00:10:25.740 their ears away from the truth and be torn aside 00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:28.950 to feebles. Praise the Lord. That you know what 00:10:28.950 --> 00:10:32.230 is sound. Praise the Lord. So when you continue 00:10:32.230 --> 00:10:35.549 in the doctrines that you have been taught, you 00:10:35.549 --> 00:10:38.830 will know that which is sound. Praise the Lord. 00:10:39.230 --> 00:10:44.450 You will know that which is sound. You will know 00:10:44.450 --> 00:10:50.289 that which is sound. You will see feebles and 00:10:50.289 --> 00:10:53.269 say, oh, this is not it. Praise the Lord. One 00:10:53.269 --> 00:10:56.070 of the things I'm grateful to God about the church 00:10:56.070 --> 00:11:01.240 is that Even back in the day when we have not 00:11:01.240 --> 00:11:02.879 started teaching the things that we're teaching, 00:11:03.080 --> 00:11:06.659 one of the things that I know for sure is when 00:11:06.659 --> 00:11:09.500 somebody is wrongly interpreting the scripture. 00:11:10.100 --> 00:11:13.299 Praise the Lord. There's not a lot of knowledge 00:11:13.299 --> 00:11:16.340 about Greek or Hebrew, but I know for sure when 00:11:16.340 --> 00:11:17.980 you open the Bible and you're speaking rubbish 00:11:17.980 --> 00:11:20.960 or you want to make it look the way you want 00:11:20.960 --> 00:11:23.340 to make it look. Praise the Lord. Because I've 00:11:23.340 --> 00:11:25.779 sat in a place and I've learned what it means 00:11:25.779 --> 00:11:29.210 to Interprete the scriptures. Praise the Lord. 00:11:30.090 --> 00:11:32.570 So when we continue in the doctrines, when we 00:11:32.570 --> 00:11:34.690 continue in the teachings that we've been given, 00:11:34.870 --> 00:11:37.769 we'll know that which is not sound. Praise the 00:11:37.769 --> 00:11:42.370 Lord. Because there is soundness in you. It is 00:11:42.370 --> 00:11:45.289 truth that can sell what a lie is. Praise the 00:11:45.289 --> 00:12:00.360 Lord. Ephesians chapter 4 verse 14. He said that 00:12:00.360 --> 00:12:02.940 you should no longer be children tossed through 00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:05.539 and through and carried away by every wind of 00:12:05.539 --> 00:12:08.700 doctrine, by the trickiness of men, in the cunning 00:12:08.700 --> 00:12:11.419 craftiness of deceitful plotting. Praise the 00:12:11.419 --> 00:12:13.580 Lord. That you will not be tossed through and 00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:17.159 through. Praise the Lord. That nothing will just 00:12:17.159 --> 00:12:19.639 come and you start going. Oh, they said this, 00:12:19.659 --> 00:12:21.759 you started running with it. Praise the Lord. 00:12:22.460 --> 00:12:27.440 By every wind of doctrine. knowing little of 00:12:27.440 --> 00:12:30.100 everything but no depth in it. Praise the Lord. 00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:34.899 So when we continue in the apostate's doctrine, 00:12:35.139 --> 00:12:37.340 when we continue in the teachings that we've 00:12:37.340 --> 00:12:39.639 been given, we'll not be tossed through and through 00:12:39.639 --> 00:12:44.600 by every wind of doctrine. Praise the Lord. You 00:12:44.600 --> 00:12:47.059 will have a filter system that which will allow 00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:50.879 you to know what is true and what is not true. 00:12:52.460 --> 00:12:55.929 Romans chapter 6 verse 17. that you will know 00:12:55.929 --> 00:13:01.350 the things to avoid. Romans chapter 6, verse 00:13:01.350 --> 00:13:08.789 17. He said, But God bethanks that though you 00:13:08.789 --> 00:13:11.570 were slaves of sin, yet you obeyed from the heart 00:13:11.570 --> 00:13:17.350 the doctrines which you were delivered. Verse 00:13:17.350 --> 00:13:28.779 18. I think there's a mist of a scripture there. 00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:31.500 That's not what I wanted to get. So you will 00:13:31.500 --> 00:13:35.820 know that which is to avoid. Praise the Lord. 00:13:36.000 --> 00:13:40.039 You will know the things to avoid. Let's go back 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:46.399 to the second Acts chapter 2. You will know the 00:13:46.399 --> 00:13:57.879 things to avoid. Acts chapter 2. He said, they 00:13:57.879 --> 00:14:00.059 continued steadfastly in the apostles' doctrine 00:14:00.059 --> 00:14:04.480 and in fellowship. Praise the Lord. In fellowship. 00:14:04.820 --> 00:14:08.240 They continued in fellowship. They continued 00:14:08.240 --> 00:14:10.740 in fellowship. The things that we do after a 00:14:10.740 --> 00:14:13.299 believer's meeting is that we continue in fellowship. 00:14:13.860 --> 00:14:17.200 We don't say, I've received enough. Praise the 00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:19.700 Lord. Let me take a break. It's not like your 00:14:19.700 --> 00:14:23.700 work. Praise the Lord. It's not like your... 00:14:24.409 --> 00:14:26.830 regular walk that you go to, that you need a 00:14:26.830 --> 00:14:30.009 break from. Praise the Lord. Because at this 00:14:30.009 --> 00:14:33.169 most one week of the believers conference is 00:14:33.169 --> 00:14:36.610 not like your walk that after it, you need a 00:14:36.610 --> 00:14:39.769 vacation. He said, no, I don't need fellowship 00:14:39.769 --> 00:14:43.009 for now. I fellowship enough. Praise the Lord. 00:14:43.149 --> 00:14:45.389 There are no such things as enough in the things 00:14:45.389 --> 00:14:48.750 of God. Praise the Lord. There are no such things 00:14:48.750 --> 00:14:51.769 as enough. You don't neglect the gathering of 00:14:51.769 --> 00:14:58.379 believers. You come together. You don't say you 00:14:58.379 --> 00:15:03.620 need a break. You don't say you need a break. 00:15:03.659 --> 00:15:11.399 You need to go away. Hebrews chapter 10, verse 00:15:11.399 --> 00:15:27.059 24. You see, And let us consider one another 00:15:27.059 --> 00:15:31.220 in order to stay up love and good works, not 00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:33.419 forsaking the assembly of ourselves together 00:15:33.419 --> 00:15:37.039 as it is the manner of some, but exalting one 00:15:37.039 --> 00:15:41.580 another so much the more as you see the day approaching. 00:15:42.139 --> 00:15:45.200 Praise the Lord. He said, let us consider how 00:15:45.200 --> 00:15:47.639 to stay one another in love. What happens when 00:15:47.639 --> 00:15:50.259 we come together is that we stay one another 00:15:50.259 --> 00:15:54.610 in love. Praise the Lord. We provoke love in 00:15:54.610 --> 00:15:58.330 the inside of us. We provoke good works. Praise 00:15:58.330 --> 00:16:00.710 the Lord. When you see your brother ministering, 00:16:00.710 --> 00:16:02.649 when you see your brother speaking in tongues, 00:16:02.889 --> 00:16:06.370 giving interpretation, you're stirred up. Praise 00:16:06.370 --> 00:16:09.909 the Lord. You know you can do it. You are encouraged. 00:16:11.169 --> 00:16:15.490 Praise the Lord. You are encouraged. So we stick 00:16:15.490 --> 00:16:19.870 together. We fellowship with one another. We 00:16:19.870 --> 00:16:24.519 don't go on break after. We don't go on spiritual 00:16:24.519 --> 00:16:26.379 breaks. We don't say we don't need fellowship. 00:16:26.700 --> 00:16:30.419 Again, we continue in the gathering, not forsaking 00:16:30.419 --> 00:16:35.000 the assembly. There are miracles and signs and 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:38.460 wonders that can only happen as a result of fellowship. 00:16:39.100 --> 00:16:41.820 Praise the Lord. There are prayers that can only 00:16:41.820 --> 00:16:45.419 happen as a result of fellowship. Have you prayed 00:16:45.419 --> 00:16:49.940 from nine to five? Some people have. Have you 00:16:49.940 --> 00:16:52.120 prayed on your own in your room? Have you done 00:16:52.120 --> 00:16:56.720 that? Praise the Lord. Have you done that? Because 00:16:56.720 --> 00:16:59.320 there is a stirring. Praise the Lord. There is 00:16:59.320 --> 00:17:02.759 a stirring in fellowship. There is a provocation 00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:08.779 to do good things. To pray more. We saw some 00:17:08.779 --> 00:17:11.200 people healed here as a result of gathering. 00:17:13.279 --> 00:17:21.519 As a result of meeting together. They're spiritual 00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.319 experiences that can only happen as a result 00:17:24.319 --> 00:17:27.920 of fellowship, as a result of koinia, to be together. 00:17:28.339 --> 00:17:31.759 And he says, I'm breaking of bread. They were 00:17:31.759 --> 00:17:36.900 sharing of food. Praise the Lord. So don't stop 00:17:36.900 --> 00:17:43.599 sharing of food. Praise the Lord. Don't continue. 00:17:43.759 --> 00:17:50.900 Don't stop that as well. So when you have people 00:17:50.900 --> 00:17:53.079 come over your house and then you're praying 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.039 and you're doing spiritual things, don't send 00:17:56.039 --> 00:17:58.460 them away like that. We did not send you away 00:17:58.460 --> 00:18:00.839 when we finished. Praise the Lord. In the middle, 00:18:00.940 --> 00:18:03.900 there was food and you ate. Praise the Lord. 00:18:03.940 --> 00:18:05.400 Even yesterday where there should not be food, 00:18:05.680 --> 00:18:08.619 the secretariat pushed, I don't know what they 00:18:08.619 --> 00:18:10.240 did, but they pushed that food should come out. 00:18:11.519 --> 00:18:16.000 Praise the Lord. So continue. breaking of bread. 00:18:16.220 --> 00:18:20.259 And he also said, continue in prayers. Colossians 00:18:20.259 --> 00:18:22.920 chapter 4 verse 12 that we have been reading, 00:18:23.039 --> 00:18:26.119 a prophet who is one of you. Praise the Lord. 00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:29.680 He said, continue in prayers. Continue in organized 00:18:29.680 --> 00:18:32.519 prayers. Continue in the prayers that we had. 00:18:35.160 --> 00:18:39.799 Do not trophy in, oh, I've prayed nine to five 00:18:39.799 --> 00:18:43.180 yesterday. Wow. That will take me for like one 00:18:43.180 --> 00:18:45.670 month. And then after one month, I will come 00:18:45.670 --> 00:18:49.809 back again. No. Continue in prayers. Forget about 00:18:49.809 --> 00:18:51.990 the prayers that you prayed yesterday. That prayer 00:18:51.990 --> 00:18:55.390 you prayed yesterday has given you strength to 00:18:55.390 --> 00:18:59.250 do much more. Praise the Lord. It has given you 00:18:59.250 --> 00:19:02.690 strength to pray much more. It has given you 00:19:02.690 --> 00:19:05.750 strength to pray much more. Praise the Lord. 00:19:06.190 --> 00:19:08.650 Don't trophy the things that are behind you. 00:19:09.029 --> 00:19:12.470 Those spiritual experiences. Praise the Lord. 00:19:13.609 --> 00:19:16.490 So one of the things, again, that we see in believers' 00:19:16.569 --> 00:19:18.910 gathering, or one of the things that we do after 00:19:18.910 --> 00:19:21.950 a believer's gathering, is that we continue in 00:19:21.950 --> 00:19:24.970 the spiritual experiences that we've had. Praise 00:19:24.970 --> 00:19:28.069 the Lord. In 1 Corinthians 14, Pastor Ima was 00:19:28.069 --> 00:19:29.970 teaching from there, Pastor Kostin was teaching 00:19:29.970 --> 00:19:33.630 from there. We continue in prayers. We continue 00:19:33.630 --> 00:19:36.930 in praying in tongues. We continue in prophecy. 00:19:37.210 --> 00:19:39.829 We continue to give edification to the church. 00:19:39.990 --> 00:19:47.000 We continue to edify ourselves. Maybe some of 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:49.180 us for the first time, you found that God was 00:19:49.180 --> 00:19:52.500 speaking through you. My God can speak through 00:19:52.500 --> 00:19:57.119 me. Praise the Lord. So continue in it. It did 00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.940 not happen. It should not be that it happened 00:20:00.940 --> 00:20:03.539 because you were just here. It should continue 00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:06.759 to happen. You found out something about your 00:20:06.759 --> 00:20:09.960 identity. That God can speak through you. That 00:20:09.960 --> 00:20:13.670 God can speak edification through you. That somebody 00:20:13.670 --> 00:20:16.609 can be blessed because of your speaking. Praise 00:20:16.609 --> 00:20:20.329 the Lord. Because of your laying of hands. Somebody 00:20:20.329 --> 00:20:22.569 can be blessed because of the prophecy that you 00:20:22.569 --> 00:20:26.630 gave. You can defy yourself by praying. You continue 00:20:26.630 --> 00:20:30.369 in those things. Praise the Lord. We continue 00:20:30.369 --> 00:20:36.569 in prayers. We continue in long prayers. That's 00:20:36.569 --> 00:20:38.109 one of the things that you should have learned 00:20:38.109 --> 00:20:41.049 is that some of the prayers that we prayed were 00:20:41.049 --> 00:20:44.200 not focused on Necessarily the things you can 00:20:44.200 --> 00:20:50.660 see. Praise the Lord. How you can pray long is 00:20:50.660 --> 00:20:53.940 not about your need. You only pray for five minutes. 00:20:55.220 --> 00:20:58.480 Praise the Lord. Your needs are not that big. 00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:01.740 You cannot pray one hour for just your need. 00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:05.079 Praise the Lord. So this kind of prayers you 00:21:05.079 --> 00:21:08.859 pray is God kind of prayers. That you grow, that 00:21:08.859 --> 00:21:12.990 you mature. He prays for you that you may stand 00:21:12.990 --> 00:21:17.289 strong. That you may continue in faith. Praise 00:21:17.289 --> 00:21:20.869 the Lord. That you continue in spiritual experiences. 00:21:22.109 --> 00:21:25.210 That it becomes a part of you. It becomes part 00:21:25.210 --> 00:21:27.829 of your growth. It becomes part of the things 00:21:27.829 --> 00:21:33.710 that you do. Is he listening to us? Are you listening 00:21:33.710 --> 00:21:41.509 to us? Okay. You continue in spiritual experience. 00:21:42.730 --> 00:21:45.410 You continue to practice the things of the Spirit. 00:21:47.829 --> 00:21:51.930 In John 10, verse 4, it says that my sheep, they 00:21:51.930 --> 00:21:54.829 know my voice. They know my voice. You found 00:21:54.829 --> 00:21:57.690 out that you know the voice of God. In the midst 00:21:57.690 --> 00:21:59.690 of the chaos, in the midst of everybody shouting, 00:21:59.890 --> 00:22:01.950 in the midst of everybody praying, you found 00:22:01.950 --> 00:22:04.940 out you can hear. That this is what God is saying 00:22:04.940 --> 00:22:07.279 in the inside of you and you say it to somebody 00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.279 and you found that that is true. Praise the Lord. 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:15.579 You continue in those things. It should give 00:22:15.579 --> 00:22:17.920 you the strength and the motivation to continue. 00:22:18.180 --> 00:22:20.460 Oh, if I can hear when everybody is shouting, 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.559 what happens when I sit on my own? Praise the 00:22:23.559 --> 00:22:27.240 Lord. If I can hear the voice of God when everybody 00:22:27.240 --> 00:22:30.740 is shouting, what happens when I'm just sitting 00:22:30.740 --> 00:22:37.460 by myself? I know His voice. I understand His 00:22:37.460 --> 00:22:47.359 language. We continue in these things. You found 00:22:47.359 --> 00:22:51.059 strength in weakness. You found out the comfort 00:22:51.059 --> 00:22:57.140 of the Spirit. You found out that man is God's 00:22:57.140 --> 00:23:01.500 method and plan on the earth. Praise the Lord. 00:23:02.059 --> 00:23:05.940 You bring yourself to that alignment. You continue 00:23:05.940 --> 00:23:09.079 in that light. You bring yourself to that alignment. 00:23:09.819 --> 00:23:13.900 Oh, so this is God's plan. So I am God's plan 00:23:13.900 --> 00:23:18.140 and method on the earth. God is not using angels. 00:23:18.680 --> 00:23:21.519 He's not going to preach by angels. He's not 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:24.000 going to say angels go to that place. It is you 00:23:24.000 --> 00:23:27.500 that he says you are his plan on the earth. You 00:23:27.500 --> 00:23:31.539 are his method on the earth. You continue, you 00:23:31.539 --> 00:23:39.119 key yourself to that goal of God. So you continue 00:23:39.119 --> 00:23:43.000 in the apostate doctrines and the spiritual experiences 00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:46.559 that you have gotten in this week. And I said, 00:23:46.579 --> 00:23:50.779 this is the revival that has come to you. Praise 00:23:50.779 --> 00:23:54.160 the Lord. My God can speak through me. Praise 00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:56.680 the Lord. This is a revival that we have gotten 00:23:56.680 --> 00:23:59.019 this week, that my God can speak through me. 00:23:59.500 --> 00:24:01.960 I know the doctrines of God. I know the mind 00:24:01.960 --> 00:24:06.940 of God. I know that God's method is me. Revival 00:24:06.940 --> 00:24:10.660 has come to you. Praise the Lord. Revival has 00:24:10.660 --> 00:24:15.720 come to you. There is a new dimension. I found 00:24:15.720 --> 00:24:18.900 out a new dimension. We found out a new dimension. 00:24:19.299 --> 00:24:22.279 That we are God's plan on the earth. Praise the 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.599 Lord. We are the one that carries His message. 00:24:25.930 --> 00:24:39.769 We're the one that carries his message. So another 00:24:39.769 --> 00:24:46.430 thing that we do after Catholicism is that we 00:24:46.430 --> 00:24:53.670 stay in the church. The church is God's stability 00:24:53.670 --> 00:24:58.220 for your life. Praise the Lord. We stay in the 00:24:58.220 --> 00:25:01.440 church. Pastor Fred told us from Matthew 16, 00:25:01.759 --> 00:25:05.940 he says that salvation is a person. That person 00:25:05.940 --> 00:25:08.920 is a person of Christ. Praise the Lord. That 00:25:08.920 --> 00:25:12.599 the church is God's assembly. Right? The church 00:25:12.599 --> 00:25:15.359 is God's assembly. It is a kingdom of Christ. 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:19.680 He said it is upon the resurrection that the 00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:22.359 church was formed. Praise the Lord. And this 00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:25.079 is our identity, that we are the church. of God. 00:25:25.720 --> 00:25:32.200 Praise the Lord. We are the church of God. We 00:25:32.200 --> 00:25:44.519 are the church of God. So one of the things that 00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:46.960 God has helped us or has given us is the local 00:25:46.960 --> 00:25:51.259 church. Praise the Lord. This gathering, the 00:25:51.259 --> 00:25:54.079 meetings that we have, the local church. It is 00:25:54.079 --> 00:25:56.839 God's structure for our life. Praise the Lord. 00:25:56.920 --> 00:25:59.460 It is God's structure for our spiritual growth. 00:26:00.099 --> 00:26:03.440 It is God's structure for our spiritual growth. 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:07.759 If you notice from the epistle, you will discover 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.380 that it was written to churches. Praise the Lord. 00:26:11.460 --> 00:26:14.940 It was not written to the body of Christ. It 00:26:14.940 --> 00:26:19.019 was written to churches. To the church in Corinth. 00:26:19.460 --> 00:26:22.599 Praise the Lord. To the people of Corinth. It 00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:26.599 was written to churches. The church is God's 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:29.200 structure for us, for our spiritual growth, for 00:26:29.200 --> 00:26:34.359 our life. So we must know how to function in 00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:37.960 the local church. We must know how to behave 00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.960 or we must know how to align in a local church. 00:26:43.259 --> 00:26:46.680 I think we're going to continue this much more. 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:51.690 So if we know that God's... a plan for us is 00:26:51.690 --> 00:26:54.349 the local church or his plan for spiritual growth 00:26:54.349 --> 00:26:57.569 is the local church, then it therefore means 00:26:57.569 --> 00:27:00.769 that we have to listen to the instructions and 00:27:00.769 --> 00:27:03.730 the direction of the people that God has set 00:27:03.730 --> 00:27:07.789 in charge of his church. Praise the Lord. We 00:27:07.789 --> 00:27:09.970 have to listen to the direction and instruction 00:27:09.970 --> 00:27:13.450 of the things that they are saying. If they are 00:27:13.450 --> 00:27:17.230 saying that we're going to teach this. this topic 00:27:17.230 --> 00:27:19.750 for the rest of the month. That's what we are 00:27:19.750 --> 00:27:22.950 doing. So it means that that is God's plan for 00:27:22.950 --> 00:27:25.549 your growth. God is saying that you're going 00:27:25.549 --> 00:27:30.309 to grow by understanding the gospel in Genesis. 00:27:30.950 --> 00:27:33.750 This is God's plan for this season. So you have 00:27:33.750 --> 00:27:37.849 to key into it. Praise the Lord. You have to 00:27:37.849 --> 00:27:46.049 key into these things. You have to key into the 00:27:46.049 --> 00:27:51.309 things that they are saying. So we must also 00:27:51.309 --> 00:27:55.329 note those who speak very bad things about the 00:27:55.329 --> 00:27:58.450 church. Praise the Lord. The church is not perfect. 00:27:58.769 --> 00:28:02.289 The local church, right? So we must also note 00:28:02.289 --> 00:28:04.930 those who speak so many bad things about the 00:28:04.930 --> 00:28:07.750 church. Because this is God's plan for your spiritual 00:28:07.750 --> 00:28:11.009 growth. Praise the Lord. It is God's plan for 00:28:11.009 --> 00:28:13.599 your spiritual growth. It is still God's plan. 00:28:13.740 --> 00:28:16.740 It is what God intends or how God intends that 00:28:16.740 --> 00:28:19.940 you grow. Praise the Lord. That's how we intend 00:28:19.940 --> 00:28:21.920 that you grow. That's why we encourage you to 00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:24.079 come to church. Because we know that in your 00:28:24.079 --> 00:28:27.000 house, there is no structure. Praise the Lord. 00:28:27.039 --> 00:28:31.799 You have no structure to organize a meeting by 00:28:31.799 --> 00:28:35.339 yourself, for yourself, for three hours. Praise 00:28:35.339 --> 00:28:38.240 the Lord. You cannot worship alone. You cannot 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:40.609 pray alone. Praise the Lord. You cannot grow 00:28:40.609 --> 00:28:45.849 alone. You cannot preach to yourself alone. So 00:28:45.849 --> 00:28:48.049 we encourage you to come to church because it 00:28:48.049 --> 00:28:50.730 is God's plan for you. It is how God has made 00:28:50.730 --> 00:28:54.009 it that you should grow. The gathering of believers. 00:28:54.890 --> 00:28:57.690 Praise the Lord. The gathering of believers. 00:29:02.390 --> 00:29:04.930 There must not be people who are divided by, 00:29:05.089 --> 00:29:08.980 who have divided commitment. God has said, this 00:29:08.980 --> 00:29:12.740 is my plan for you. This local church is my plan 00:29:12.740 --> 00:29:15.559 for you. But you're everywhere online. You're 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:17.819 listening to that person. You're listening to 00:29:17.819 --> 00:29:19.779 that person. You're listening to that person. 00:29:19.920 --> 00:29:23.539 You're going to have confusion. Your life is 00:29:23.539 --> 00:29:25.660 going to be confused. You're going to have questions 00:29:25.660 --> 00:29:29.079 that you cannot answer. Praise the Lord. God's 00:29:29.079 --> 00:29:32.640 plan for you is a local church. Praise the Lord. 00:29:32.940 --> 00:29:35.880 God's plan for you is a local church. This is 00:29:35.880 --> 00:29:39.769 his plan for your growth. Your growth, you cannot 00:29:39.769 --> 00:29:43.829 grow at once. Praise the Lord. You cannot become 00:29:43.829 --> 00:29:49.549 30 years old in one day. It has to take steps. 00:29:49.990 --> 00:29:53.910 It has to take a lot of nutrition, a lot of taking 00:29:53.910 --> 00:29:56.329 care of yourself, a lot of things, a lot of people 00:29:56.329 --> 00:29:59.650 around you for you to grow. Praise the Lord. 00:30:00.170 --> 00:30:03.190 So you cannot grow at once. So when God is saying 00:30:03.190 --> 00:30:06.569 to you through your local church that your plan 00:30:06.569 --> 00:30:10.089 for growth is the Bible in Genesis or the gospel 00:30:10.089 --> 00:30:15.470 in Genesis, if you have plans or thinking about 00:30:15.470 --> 00:30:19.730 the anointing, wait first. Praise the Lord. That's 00:30:19.730 --> 00:30:21.430 why Pastor Vito always encourages us. He says 00:30:21.430 --> 00:30:23.690 you should wait. We'll have that teaching. Praise 00:30:23.690 --> 00:30:26.369 the Lord. But for now, the plan is for you to 00:30:26.369 --> 00:30:29.049 learn the gospel in Genesis. When you finish 00:30:29.049 --> 00:30:31.269 that one and it's a part of you, then we can 00:30:31.269 --> 00:30:34.390 go to what the anointing is. Praise the Lord. 00:30:35.109 --> 00:30:42.970 So this is how we continue in Catartismus. This 00:30:42.970 --> 00:30:48.710 is how we continue in Catartismus. So I'm going 00:30:48.710 --> 00:30:51.990 to stop now and we're going to pray. Praise the 00:30:51.990 --> 00:30:56.930 Lord. We're going to pray. We're going to edify 00:30:56.930 --> 00:31:00.970 one another. We're going to lay hands on one 00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:06.710 another. We're going to do impartation for those 00:31:06.710 --> 00:31:10.529 who are not here. Praise the Lord. Who are not 00:31:10.529 --> 00:31:14.690 in the cataclysmos. Right? And we'll continue 00:31:14.690 --> 00:31:20.180 as well on Wednesday. So we learned that the 00:31:20.180 --> 00:31:23.440 doctrine from Hebrews chapter 6, the doctrine 00:31:23.440 --> 00:31:29.480 of laying of hands. And we were taught that laying 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:33.660 of hands is spiritual. Praise the Lord. We were 00:31:33.660 --> 00:31:36.119 taught that laying of hands is spiritual. It 00:31:36.119 --> 00:31:41.339 is not a physical thing. When Joseph was laying 00:31:41.339 --> 00:31:45.180 hands, he was touching people every day. Praise 00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:48.420 the Lord. He was, I'm sure he was touching people's 00:31:48.420 --> 00:31:51.079 head every day because he's elderly. And part 00:31:51.079 --> 00:31:53.200 of the things, some cultures, you need to bend 00:31:53.200 --> 00:31:55.119 down and they probably need to touch your head 00:31:55.119 --> 00:31:57.799 or touch your shoulders. Praise the Lord. In 00:31:57.799 --> 00:31:59.599 those touching, he was not impacting anything 00:31:59.599 --> 00:32:02.259 to them. Praise the Lord. But when he decided 00:32:02.259 --> 00:32:04.759 that he wanted to impact something, he impacted 00:32:04.759 --> 00:32:07.500 something to them. Praise the Lord. The laying 00:32:07.500 --> 00:32:11.220 of hands is spiritual. It is not just physical. 00:32:11.940 --> 00:32:14.480 It's how we exercise our dominion. These are 00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:16.690 the things that we learned. Praise the Lord. 00:32:17.369 --> 00:32:21.250 It's how we cause things to happen. Praise the 00:32:21.250 --> 00:32:24.150 Lord. It's how the Holy Ghost is administered. 00:32:25.849 --> 00:32:28.569 So let's just rise on our feet and just begin 00:32:28.569 --> 00:32:33.069 to pray. Just begin to pray. We also learned 00:32:33.069 --> 00:32:40.589 in 1 Corinthians chapter 14 that talks about 00:32:40.589 --> 00:32:45.410 speaking in tongues. That he that speaks in tongues, 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:51.980 edifies himself. He that speaks in tongues and 00:32:51.980 --> 00:32:55.339 interprets edifies the church. He that prophesies 00:32:55.339 --> 00:32:59.079 edifies the church. Praise the Lord. So we want 00:32:59.079 --> 00:33:01.480 to speak in tongues now and we want to edify 00:33:01.480 --> 00:33:05.039 ourselves. We want to edify the church and we 00:33:05.039 --> 00:33:07.259 want to lay hands. Praise the Lord. So let's 00:33:07.259 --> 00:33:09.519 just begin to pray. Let's just begin to pray. 00:33:12.000 --> 00:33:15.220 We appreciate you being here today. We hope you 00:33:15.220 --> 00:33:17.319 carry this word with you throughout your week. 00:33:17.940 --> 00:33:20.140 Don't forget to check the show notes for additional 00:33:20.140 --> 00:33:23.079 insights.
