Transcription

Hallelujah. Oh, I say it all the time, the life of God is in me. The life of God is in me, from the crown of my head to the sords of my feet, to the tips of my toes. The life of God is in me. I refuse to be sick. I refuse to be sick. The life of God is in me, of God is in me. Oh, glory to God. I've got the life of God in me. That life is in my bones; it's in my skin; it's in my muscles; it's in my nerves. Do you understand what I'm talking about? The life of God is in me. Hallelujah. I may have some pains in my body, but I'll still say the life of God is in me. I'm born with the nature of God. I refuse to be sick. I refuse to be sick, and I refuse to accommodate trouble in my [Applause] body [Applause]. Hallelujah. I've got the life of God in me. I say it again and again and again. I don't know how many times, times a day, I just tell myself the life of God is in me. Oh, I've got the life of God in me. Thank you, Lord Jesus. The life of God is in me. I got Zoe in me. Glory to God. I've got Zoe in me. It's in my spirit; it's in my soul; it's in my body. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I got the life of God in me. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Hallelujah. Maybe I injured myself, and it hurts. Oh, I got the life of God in me. I got the life of God in me. Thank you [Applause] Jesus. That's what I do. I got it in me. That means there has to be a restoration. But do you know that there are people who had a simple injury, and it's been 5 years now, and that wound wouldn't be healed because they don't know about this life of God? But I got the life of God in me. Hallelujah. Somebody said his heart is not beating right. You, you feel it, and and it's like, oh, it's not beating right. Dear Lord Jesus, I got the life of God in me. [Applause] Hallelujah. Woo. Glory. You, you know what a lot of us have a problem. You know what that problem is? We know too much. We don't know anything about God. We just know too much of science; we know too much of biology; we know too much of the medical world, until we don't know nothing about God. Let me explain to you what I mean. Somebody says, oh, my heart, I think I think my heart is not beating right. Which one? Because when the Bible talks about the heart, it basically talks about the human spirit, but you are thinking about that subst that mass in here that goes. You understand what I mean? You know too much. Brother, who told you you got something in there? Listen, if you will just leave it alone and be normal, nobody will put you on the operating table. Nobody will always listen. Maybe it's my heart; hey, maybe maybe high blood pressure. Who told you? Have you seen your heart before? I, I, I think that God didn't want us to see it; that's why he sealed it up. What do you think? If God wanted us to be looking at our hearts, our bodies should have been transparent, so every time you just look at your heart, say, is it [Applause] working? We are too concerned. Every little thing, we want to find out what's inside. You want to find out what's inside. That's the trouble. Why don't you think of what God has put inside? He says he has put the life of God inside you. It doesn't matter how that heart is beaten; it will turn out right. Can you shout amen? [Applause] Somebody. Hallelujah. They said my blood pressure is rising. Okay, okay. Which one is the correct one? And they said, they said, they who said the prophet Isaiah said, who has believed our report? [Applause] Hallelujah. It doesn't matter who said it, brother. If it's your body, you say everything is all right. Let the life of God gain the ascendance. [Music] Hallelujah. Oh, boy. Say it again. I got a life of God in me. Look at your hand, say, I got a life of God in [Music] me. Look at yourself. I got the life of God in me. Woo. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I got the life of God in me. Woo. Glory to God. Hallelujah. Amen. Sit down. Hallelujah. Thank you. Sit down for a moment. Hallelujah. Glory to God. The life of God is in me. He hath made us kings. He had made, oh boy, he had, he had made us kings. I know who I am. He had made us kings. [Applause] Hallelujah. He had made us kings. He's already done it. I refuse to beg. I [Music] m [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] [Music] That made us kings. So what does that mean? So what's on God's mind when he says that he has made us kings? What does that mean? Can I tell you what it means? Oh, Hallelujah. Let's look at the life of the first man, so we can understand it. Genesis, the Book of Genesis, chapter number one, and I'm, I'm going to be reading to you from verse 26. And God said, let us make man in our image, after our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the Earth, Earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the Earth. So God created man in his own image; in the image of God created he him, male and female created he them. And God blessed them; and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth, and subdue it. Subdue, he said, subdue it. You know what it is to subdue something? Look, this thing is here now. You can't subdue it. You know why? It's dead now; it's not responding. You get it? You subdue something that had its own [Music] mind. If it had its own mind, if it had its own will that was different from yours, then you exercise control to make its will subject to yours. That's what it is, is to subdue something. You tame it. That's what God said. He said [Music] subdue. Subdue. Use the word. Everybody say subdue. Subdue. One more time, subdue. Subdue. I want to read that verse 28 one more time. He says, and God bless them; and God said unto them, be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the Earth, and subdue it. Subdue the Earth. Subdue the Earth, and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the earth, and over every living thing that moveth upon the Earth. In other words, anything, anything that leaves, anything that moves. Glory to God. [Applause] [Music] Where in the earth? What does that suggest? He made that first man a king. He made that first man a king. Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Think about God. What do you think about God? God. Have you ever thought about heaven, from what you've read in your Bible? Does heaven look like an ugly place? The streets are made of pure gold, the Bible says. So God must be a god of prosperity. He loves good things. Listen now. He streets, and when he wanted to pave his own streets, he used pure gold. No, listen, listen, listen. That's to show you what kind of a God he is. If you wanted to TI roads for God, for listen, a God who would use pure gold to pave his own street, what do you think he would expect you to use for him? You think he, he, he'll take, he'll take what you got out there? No. It's to show you the kind of God he is. When he made the first man that looked like him, he made him a king. He couldn't take anything less to look like him; it had to be a king. [Applause] You know, we, we read a lot of stuff into the mind of God because we don't study the Bible. When you study the Bible, you understand who he really is. No. Have you ever, have you ever thought about heaven? No. You, you think God loves it when we look like we don't know what we're doing, when we look confused, unhappy? I told you, oh, you, you are from, you came from the satellite church, but most of you that are uh, sale leaders, if you were at the CRC, you recall what I said. I said, when you come to church, dress well. Are you hearing me? Learn to dress well. Stop keeping your best clothes in that box. Hello. Hold on. Hold on. I know you, you know some of you have nice clothes. You will not wear them until once a year, Christmas. And nowadays we are so busy, we can't even dress right at Christmas time. Years ago, everybody used to visit at Christmas time, but now nobody goes out. Y'all sit down at home. You don't know what to do with the Christmas. Wees go and pull them out and start wearing them. That bag you bought for special occasion, it's two years now, you haven't had any special occasion. God is still waiting for you to use it, because we don't know what the special occasion is. That's our problem. We think that the special occasion is when the the governor of Central Bank visits us. We're looking for some Top Class Society visitors. You are wrong. God doesn't call them special visitors. The special occasion is when we come into the house of God like this. [Applause] Brother, when you come to church, dress fine. I said, go and bring all those clothes you kept for somewhere, go and bring them out. And in those of you who have special plates for special occasion, and you have not used those plates, now you've not used them since your marriage, special plates for special visitors who have never come. The trouble is, they came, you did not recognize them. Are you hearing me? When that brother and that sister, when they came to visit you, you didn't recognize them. You thought they were ordinary because they dressed ordinarily, so you were keeping your special plates for the kings of this world. Brother, your brothers and sisters in Christ are your special [Applause] visitors. As they come to visit you, go into your bedroom, pull out those wonderful plates. Are you hearing me? Yeah. Go to your cupboard, bring out the best spoons, the best knives, the best glasses. Set the food on the table. They are your special visitors. When you start operating like that, that is spiritual wisdom. When you start operating like that, the angels will show up in your house. Are you hearing what I'm telling you now? [Applause] Glory to God. Hallu. Think like God. Think like God. Think like God. Some of you men, you know, in your house you have about three sitting rooms. Sitting room A is for the special, special. Sitting room B is for special. Sitting room C is for mhm. See who, who is it? Mr. Who? Put him, put him. If he's born again, especially if you hear that is your PCF leader, your Cale leader, your PCU leader, your pastor, take him right into [Applause] a. Hallelujah. You will be blessed. You see, because many of us don't know when Jesus shows up. Jesus comes in his kids. He said, in the last day, I will say to many, I was hungry, you didn't feed me; I was thirsty, you didn't give me to drink; I was sick, and you didn't visit me. And they're going to say, Lord, when were you hungry and we didn't feed you? When were you thirsty and we didn't give you to drink? When were you sick and we didn't visit you? And I will say to them, Jesus said, I will say to them, in as much as you didn't do it for these little ones, you didn't do it for me. He said, he that receiveth you receiveth me. So brother, when they come to you in the name of Jesus, look at Jesus and receive them. Did you hear, hear what I just told you? Then you, you'll be ready for Angelic manifestations in your home, Supernatural blessings in your home, things that you cannot explain will begin to happen. Supernatural manifestations of the Holy Ghost begin to take place. Why? Because you have learned to welcome God. When God shows up, he doesn't come in the red hearts. You understand? When God shows up, he doesn't come with a beaming light. When God shows up, he comes in his kids, simple but real. Hallelujah. Are you still [Applause] there? Thank you, Lord Jesus. Oh, glory to his holy name. He hath made us kings. I'm a king. He had made us kings. How do kings pray? I want to, I want to show you how kings pray. Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus, I give you praise, praise for the rest that you've given me, the life of peace and joy that you've given me, the life of health that you've given me, for making me a success. Thank you for making me a weakness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. The life of God is in me. I thank you, father, Lord God, because as you are, so am I in this world. That's how kings pray, and kings begin to decree a saying. They declare peace at work, in the name of Jesus. I go to work today, and I decree peace at work, peace in my office, in the name of [Applause] Jesus. Peace. They speak peace, and when they say peace, there's peace. I speak peace into my home. Not, they don't say, oh God, give us peace in our home. No. Kings don't pray like that. Are you hearing me? Kings don't pray and ask God, oh God, give us peace in our home. No. King say, in the name of Jesus, I decree peace. [Applause] I speak peace in the realm of the spirit. I speak peace. I calm the storms. And as you talk like that, you will feel your fate rising. You'll feel your fate [Applause] rising. Does it look like be business is changing, and it looks like money is not coming in like before? Oh, oh, relax, brother. You don't have a problem. Relax. In the name of Jesus, prosperity is mine. Woo. Glory to God. Hold on, and then listen to this. And when you say that, you say, I open my mind for ideas, in the name of Jesus. I open all the doors, in the name of Jesus. Prosperity is coming in; money is coming in. I receive. I receive. I receive. I receive, in the name of Jesus. Oh, glory to God. Hallelujah. I walk in prosperity. I walk, oh glory, I walk in victory, in the name of Jesus. I'm a success. Money is coming to me now. I receive now. Oh, hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Are you there? [Applause] Somebody. He says, and thou shalt decree a thing also, and it shall be established unto thee. Say this with me. I'm a king. I'm a king. One more time, I'm a king. I'm a king. One more time, I'm a king. I'm a king. I decree peace. I decree peace. I decree victory. I decree. There's only one way in my life. There's one way in my life. Only one way. Only one way is the way of prosperity. The way of is the way of victory. The way of victory is the way of success. The way of. I do not fail. I do not fail. I do not fail. I do not fail, because victory is already [Music] mine. Oh, glory to God. Hallelujah. I know who I am. Ha, hallelujah. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Wo [Applause] he. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. The lines are falling onto me in pleasing places. I have a goodly heritage. Glory to God. Hallelujah. [Applause] Hallelujah. Glory to God. [Applause] Hallelujah. Somebody say hallelujah. [Applause] Woo. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. Amen. Amen. Sit down. Safe and El congratulate three people, mag me [Music] [Applause] love fin. Congratulations. Hallelujah. Sit down. Hallelujah. Sit [Applause] [Music] [Applause] down. Praise the Lord. Sit down. You know what? We're just introducing the subject. Are you hearing? I said, we are just introducing the subject, so I'll just show you a little bit of where we're going, then I, we'll pray, and then I'll let you go tonight. All right. Go back to that book of [Applause] Revelation. Hallelujah. You know Jesus said, when the heathen pray, he said, the think that they shall be heard, for they much speaking. When said, do it, Lord. Do it, Lord. Do it, Lord. Do it, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, Lord. Yes, L. Do it, Lord. Do it, Lord. You can say that a thousand times; that's not going to change the mind of God. It's not how many times you say it. Put your faith to work. [Music] Oh God, I'm praying for my son, so that his head will be correct. Oh, change it, Lord. You know, say, change his mind, Lord. Change it, Lord. Change it, Lord. Change it, Lord. Change it, Lord. The only thing that's changing is your position. Change it, Lord. Change it, Lord. That's not going to change anything. See, you, there are people who are praying, they don't know why, they just keep praying and praying and praying. Do you, you know how to pray? If you haven't read the book on prayer, go and get it, praying the right way. The people who say, they say a lot of times, people pray and they say, Lord Jesus, I thank you, in Jesus' name. Wrong prayer. Hallelujah. You can say, oh Lord Jesus, Jesus, I think I thank you, in Jesus' name. Oh Lord Jesus, in Jesus' name. Jesus said for us to pray to the father in the name of Jesus. We don't pray to Jesus; we pray in the name of Jesus. We can tell Jesus how much we love him. We can, we, we fellowship with him, but we do not pray to Jesus. We pray to the Father in the name of Jesus. That's the way to [Applause] pray. We can speak to Jesus; we can tell him how we feel; we can tell him what's in our hearts, but when you want to make a request, you make the request of the father in the name of Jesus. When you know who you are, you, you will understand why it is so. Somebody said, but we can pray to Jesus. Oh, no, no. A thousand times. Listen, that will stop you from knowing who you are. This thing is not an issue of technicalities. No. We are not trying to split Hs. Let me tell you what the real case is. When you understand why you should pray to the father in the name of Jesus, when you understand why, it will show you who you really are. It means that you are in the place of Jesus. Listen. It means you are the voice of Jesus. It means you're standing in his stead. You can't pray to him anymore because you are in his place. [Applause] Oh, how could you pray to him? You are in his place. You are in the very place of the world to whom you would have been praying. He has delegated his authority to you, the authority that he had to request anything of the father, he gave it to you. That's why in the 16th chapters in John's gospel, when you read from the 23rd verse, he said, when you pray, I do not tell you that I will ask the father for you, because the father himself loves [Applause] you. Just read it. Read it from the 23rd verse to the 26th verse. You, you'll enjoy the words of Jesus. He said, I'm not telling you that I'll pray the father on your behalf. You know, sometimes we think, oh Lord Jesus, so when we pray to, we pray and we say, talk to, talk to the father for us. Jesus said, I won't. He said, because, because the father himself loves you on his own. He loves you. He doesn't, he doesn't need anybody else to talk to him on your behalf. Then he said, use my name for [Music] access. So in the name of Jesus, you have access into the presence of the father. You are there now. You were born into that presence in the name of Jesus. The day that you were born again, you live in his presence today. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I know who I am. I, I live in the presence of the father. How don't need anybody to talk to the father for me. I know who I am. I dwell in his very presence. Jesus gave me access. He gave me access. The Bible says, through him we have access into the presence of the father. We have access. So that name gives you access. It gives you the legal authority, so you have the power of attorney to act for Jesus, so you don't need to ask Jesus in prayer. You ask the father in his name, right? And when you, when you understand that, prayer just changes. How can you beg in the name of Jesus? It's an insult. You, you can't beg in his name. That's the name that's above every other name. At that name, every knee bows. Everything in nature has been will to Jesus, and that name was, oh glory, that name was given to us to function with. So I don't need to try to squeeze up some faith. All I need is to use the name of Jesus. Oh, boy. I hope you can catch this. Before the death and resurrection of Jesus, they had to have faith. He said, if

You have faith as a grain of mustard seed. You shall not only do that which is done to the Fig Tree, he said, but if you say to this mountain, “Move from here to there,” it will move. If you have faith. If you have faith. If you have but
