Not me being chased in my own dream.
You write your own script. You are your own director. Hh. You have to be in charge in your own dreams. If they come to you, you say it has to be your dream for you to chase me. But if it's my dream, you're in trouble. That's authority.
No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper. Now, there's a reason why the weapon is never going to prosper. I would give you different types of weapons that the devil has managed to formulate so far. And they come in different fashions, different types, different colors, and they come from different directions. And you need to be trained and you need to develop sensitivity so that you can pick it whenever it is coming. You have to know this is a weapon. This is not just a statement from a friend. This is a weapon. This is not just a negative word from your husband. This is a weapon.
I need to know how to deal with this kind of utterance from a man that I love. Cuz there are men there are women that are so good at fashioning statements. a wellthought insult. The man knows exactly what he's saying. The woman knows how to break your ego. She knows. She knows what she's doing. She's not just being careless. She knows exactly what she's dealing with. She knows how you feel. It's pre-planned. It's it has been fashioned against you. It comes in different forms. Whatever was said to you, the enemy was aware that you're so good at storing information. You still can remember what they said. And that utterance can eventually become a weapon that eats you up until you know how to activate the righteousness of God in you and you overcome it. What did they say? What did the doctor say? Sometimes his statement can be more deadly than the disease that he's trying to address. Ah the is a reason why the weapon is not going to flourish.
Let me start by giving you some other weapons that you never thought were weapons that the devil uses. The first thing that the devil really desires to have around you which gives him an advantage is the absence of God. When the presence of God is absent in a place, it is the absence of God that then empowers even the weakest weapon that the devil picks. The absence of God empowers the weakest weapon. If the enemy picks even a feather and he throws it at you within 24 hours you're gone. People die mysteriously. They fall from chairs. They fall from stairs. They are chocked by food and they die. The weakest weapon outside of the presence of God become so dangerous.
What does the devil do? He helps you cultivate the absence of God. There's a list that he gives to people that if they really follow through it, at the end of the day, they have nothing of the presence of God left in their environment. And when the devil now sees that there isn't any presence of God in your house, I'm declaring this to you. Whatever he picks against you will flourish. Ah my God.
If you study two books, the book of numbers, chapter number 23, and you also study the book of revelation. Now there is what is called I I said this before, the doctrine of Balam. You know him to be a man of blessings and a man of curses. And how he would bless and how he would curse was by utterance. What a gift. You don't curse by touching, you curse by speaking. You have to be aware of such a man. Right? Lest you overlook that and you underestimate weapons that are in that kind of existence. Statements.
I'm coming back to the presence of God. What it does and what happens when God withdraws himself even from a nation. the slightest thing. Balac is sending his elders to Balam to invite him for a cursing ceremony. come and place a case over these people. So what is being hired by Balac is a weapon against God's people. Devil hires people who are good at speaking in a weapon manner. come and speak. And the reason being that he said, for they are mightier than I. Ah, what a discovery. He realized that these people are stronger and he says, "Please come and curse them for me. adventure. I will prevail over them."
Follow Follow the strategy of the enemy. He sees more power in you than the power he has. He sees more influence in you than the influence that he has. He sees more control and more dominion in you than the dominion he has. And then he says, if I'm to confront him whilst he is in this state, my defeat is guaranteed. What do I do if he's stronger than than I am? Let me outsource a weapon. There's a man created, gifted in a very strange way that when he speaks, he alters atmospheres. I'll give him money just so that he can open his mouth and release a weapon.
Did you hear anything about tongues in that verse that we read? Ah, you there. Let's repeat it again. He says any tongue, every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment. Okay, so let's repeat it. Did you Did you hear anything concerning tong? Oh, thank you so much. Follow me please. Lest ignorance becomes one of the weapon. Hear this now. Balam is being brought to curse God's people. Until in verse number 23, you heard him saying, "There is no divination, no witchcraft, no enchantment against Israel, against Jacob. For at this time it shall be said what the Lord has wrought for Israel." No divination. You can't speak against them.
Then let's go to the book of Revelation chapter 2 verse number 14. Before you read that, I'm giving you the background. Listen to the man who tried to curse God's people. And was the weapon successful? No. But then we getting to hear of something that he did which was not comprehensively explained in the book of numbers. We never if you if you stick to just just that one book you will not even know what else happened. But revelation is coming now. We hear what I have few things. But I have a few things against thee. Uh-huh. Because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balam. Mhm. Who taught Balac to cast a stumbling block before the children of Israel to eat things sacrificed unto idols and to commit and to commit fornication. Listen to me. Why? Why are we touching on this? I'm trying to show you how the absence of God is created before the enemy comes after you and he uses the slightest thing and you're defeated.
If we can do something here to have the presence of God, it means we can also do something here to not have it. Yes, pastors hear this. This is a clear and straightforward formula. If if people can do something within a nation and then you have the presence of God coming because of what you did, it also means that you can what? You can also do something. In fact, the reason why you didn't have the presence of God in the first place before you did something to have it back is because you did something to lose it. You lost the presence because you did something that is against the presence of God. Yes. M and when the presence of God feels something that is not consistent with its uprightness, it disappears. Yes. All I want from you is just attention. Just attention. Just attention. Viewers, please follow me. I'm saying because you think that the enemy that has launched a missile against you, the missile is so powerful. I'm showing you something that makes the missile powerful in as much as it is not powerful. when it finds you outside of the presence of God, anything the devil uses against you will prosper.
Now I'm getting to hear that balam taught taught taught balac how to place stumbling blocks before God's people. A lecture Mhm. on that. So after that fiasco ceremony, they went back home sat down and he said, "I can train you on how to go about this." It was in a teaching format. People can be trained, can be educated on how to place stumbling blocks before God's people. Yes. And this is coming after a discovery that witchcraft and enchantment cannot prevail against them. But let's sit down and discuss what is our next strategy. What is our next? He's never going to rest. He attacks you. He attacked you last year. Now he realized that you crossed over. He really believed he was convinced that you would not survive COVID 19. He believed that. He believed that and seeing that you have survived it. Let's go back to the drawing board. There is now a teaching on placing stumbling blocks before God's people. Sit down while you're taking your seat. Sit down thinking about what I'm saying now. Honestly, honestly, honestly, how do you train a man? He taught it was the two of them giving Balac information notes. There's a way to go about it. If you see that witchcraft cannot work against them, there is another way. You need to hear this now because you've overcome witchcraft. But this one now, this one now. You are devastated today. Why? A stumbling block has been placed before you by an educated man. And if you're not careful and you don't know how to deal with that kind of civilization, you are never going to overcome. What kind of a syllabus is that? Your enemy right now is attending school. Who is behind the formulation of the weapon? He's an educated guy. He can be a scientist. He can be a physician. He can be a so-called doctor. He's a medical practitioner. Be very, very, very careful. These things are being learned. You can learn on how to put blockages on the ways of God's people.
What really did Balam say to Balac? M encourage them to consume what they're not supposed to consume. Encourage them to commit fornication. Tell them that you can commit adultery and get away with it. He's a merciful God. Please, sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. You You don't know. You don't know. Some of you sit down, please. Okay, sit sit sit. I'm begging you. Please sit down so that I continue. Okay. All stand. All of you stand. You want to stand right? Stand. Okay. Are you Are you happy now? Okay. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Thank you. Ah. Oh. Oh. Child of God, hear me. I'm saying this by the spirit of God. You cannot commit adultery and still come back carrying the same light. Hear this and hear me very very well. That's a no go area. Don't because the weapon has to be fashioned by your enemy. Mhm. Don't fashion it cuz that scripture is not going to provide for you the security that it is talking about. If it is the enemy fashioning it against you, let it be the enemy. Don't join the industry that creates weapons for you. There's no guarantee from scripture that you cannot work against yourself. So he said to Balac, "These people, they now at a level where unless it is them attacking them, right? Unless it become their weapon, their own witchcraft, you can't speak against them. But if you can get them to speak against themselves, how many times have you been confessing negative, negative, negative and what is working against you now is not what they said, it is what you said against yourself. that one there is enchantment against you. There is witchcraft against you. Encourage them to come to Moab and have girls from Moab. Cuz Balam knows what God doesn't want them to do. So if they do that, what they are now going to create is the absence of God. M once they have the absence of God, they now have the absence of the covering, their shield is gone. So he's saying, sit down. He's saying once you place a curse over them, I will then fight them. You don't fight a blessed man. A man has to be cursed and then you fight him. It means that the curse is coming to weaken. If you're saying a man is mightier than I, so come and curse them so that I fight him, you're saying a curse does something to a strong man. What does it do? It weakens you. Mhm. That is what curses do? They weaken you. What does the devil do when he sees that you're too strong? He curses you. And that case becomes your weakness. You are weak according to the case. You are weak according to the case. Not because you didn't have enough food in the morning. You are weak according to the curse. Weak according to the curse. Come curse them so that I'll fight them. Once they have a curse, then I will fight them. So when I defeat them in the warfare, they would think I'm stronger than them. Yet it is because they are cursed. Come curse them for me. Then I'll fight them. I will drive them out of my land.
So the first weapon which is so critical that I'm presenting to you now is the creation of the absence of God. When the devil can get you to do something that chases away God's presence, that's the first thing that he does. What is he doing there? You might think it's not a weapon, but that is exactly what makes everything around you a weapon. the absence of God. I said once he sees that God has finally if that's that's that's the devil's prayer. That's the devil's prayer. If he can only get God to turn his back on you, then outside of the presence of God, he can do anything to you and you are destroyed. Huh? He he said something in in Habacook. Habac chapter number one verse number 13. If you're there, say I'm there. Habacook is hard to find. Habacook. Habacook chapter 1 verse 18. If you're there, say I'm there. I'm there. If you lie to me, I'll ask you to read it. Okay. Uhhuh. Thou art of purer eyes. This is a prophetic message being given to Israel by God through his prophet. Before you listen to what the prophet is about to say because now he's splendid on behalf of the people, God had actually made up his mind. He said, "I'm going to bring in the enemy. The Caldanss are going to come into the land and they're going to destroy it. They will come in rushing and their horses will be swifter than leopards. And when they come, they will be more fierce than the evening wolves. They will plunder you. They will destroy you. They will take everything. And they will they will fish you out of your water like what the fishermen do with their nets. They will hold you up with a hook on a rod. Those are cases being placed upon God's people. The prophet Habacook now goes on to pray. He says, "Lord, these things that you're showing me, imagine he's seeing all this as a prophet in visions." And he says to God, "Why do you keep showing me disasters? Oh Lord, why is it that all of my visions are violent? Give me a break. Do you know what a prophet goes through? He sees it before it happens. Not just seeing it, he leaves it before all of you leaves it. He touches it. And he's saying, "Oh Lord," now he's praying. He's saying, "You have a purer eye." I want to derive it an idea out of what the prophet is about to say. Now, go ahead and read. Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil and canst not look on iniquity. You cannot look on iniquity. Hear me. You cannot look on iniquity. He's not saying you can't see it. He's saying when you discover iniquity at play, you are quick to turn your eyes away from evil, from sin, what's the idea? The devil then because of that principle, he gets you to produce and to manufacture that which the Lord doesn't want to gaze at. Now, I hope you're following. The devil knows if he wants to touch you, if he wants to deal with you whilst God is looking at you, he has no chance. What can I do so that you stop getting God's attention? Let iniquity, let evil be found in your house. Whilst you are busy arguing throwing spoons in place and everything is upside down, iniquity is at work right in your bedroom. Understand that at that moment you have taken away the pure eye that cannot behold iniquity. It is during that time that God is looking away from you. By the time he looks back, you are finished by the devil. Fear those moments that creates the absence of God's eye. Are you following what I'm telling you? You never thought it was a weapon, but that's a weapon. It's a weapon in what sense? The absence of God becomes a weapon because it empowers everything that wasn't a weapon in the first place. Anything in that house can kill you. Anything, any food in the fridge can make you sick. You can't control demons in that atmosphere. They will rain when God is away. What can I do? Because his eyes is upon him every day. But since God cannot look at iniquity, get him to do iniquity.
Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Do you know that there is a disease allocated appointed ones to come your way and the devil has to stand next to you? If you stud in the Bible, he was there. The Bible talks about him standing next to Joshua to condemn him. Yes. H he's trying to find an occasion, an opportunity. Most men that are sick right now, they have a disease and they don't know how they contacted it. because they don't know this principle. A disease that the devil always wanted you to have, but he can't push it into your body until an opportunity is created where there isn't the presence of God. So when you then go to that girlfriend's house, what you're going to get is a disease that you could not contact whilst you were at home. So it's not just that sin that you're committing. No, you're opening up a door where the devil can now say you can protect him everywhere else but not here. You can't behold this iniquity that he is doing. So the devil sees that as a chance and then he comes in. He attacks you at that moment that you are willingly committing sin. Insecurity is taken away. Fear those moments. If you're ever going to have fear, fear those moments. You see, you must know something is coming. The devil wants to bring in something. This argument is not normal. How is it that your husband is good at taking you out of context every time? Everything that you say ends up meaning something else. Oh, yet the man is so educated and you wonder how come. Oh my god, we are yet to start on this course here.
Now you know that the absence of God becomes a weapon. Yes. Fear that. Yes. Take not your presence away from me, oh God. Fear that it's a weapon that makes weapons effective. It is not very absence of God that will kill you. The absence of God empowers the weapon against you thereby becoming a weapon. Are you following? Yes. Are you where the presence of God is? So that's key. That's important. Whatever you do, when you receive a song from the Holy Ghost, though you know you can't sing well, you have my blessing upon your life. Just go ahead and sing it in the morning. by God. That becomes the chord for the lasting presence of God throughout that day. A single word given to you by the Holy Ghost, declare it. Speak it out. Thank you. When you feel the presence of the light of God, declare it openly. Lord, I can see your light whilst you're driving. I'm aware of your presence. Do you know that each time you feel his presence, you must make an announcement? Let him know that I've felt it. You know what happens? You will feel like the presence of God is increasing. The moment you feel it, that's what I do. That's what I do. When I feel that he's here, I change the way that I speak to him. I let him know that I've seen you. Father, when you do that, you feel like the presence of God is now increasing. And yet, what is increasing is your awareness. My god. It is that presence of God that then quenches the arrows, the fiery dusts of the enemy. When you're being shot at, it means the bullet has to travel first into the presence of God before it gets to you. Is it really going to survive the thickness of the presence of God? The concentration of the presence of God. There's a reason why any weapon fashioned against you cannot prosper. Why you are surrounded by this cloud of safety? You have to make this a culture. Don't keep on asking for his presence. Appreciate it when it comes. You are in my room. I can feel that you're here. Thank you for coming. Thank you, Holy Spirit, for spending time with me. I know you're always with me, but now you chose. You decided to be felt. And I can feel it. When you cultivate that culture, you begin to feel more of the presence of God than of the presence of the devil in the house. Become accustomed to the presence of God. I'm defining a weapon here and I'm defining victory. I'm defining so many things. Cuz it's the year of what? Of the defining what? Right. Be seated. Be seated. Now I know I'll never forget this. If I'm in a place where there isn't the presence of God, the devil can even pick grass and he can use it like a spear. Amen. It will go through your liver. Anything that the devil want to use in the absence of the presence of God becomes effective. Now I know what do I do? I cultivate the presence of God. If the pres should the presence of God decide to leave me, what do I do? I follow the presence because the presence of God will forever be present elsewhere. So I follow. I follow. As the cloud above me in the wilderness moves, what do you do? You follow the cloud. The pillar of fire. Oh, I love the presence of God. I love the presence. If you can subject your flesh to that presence of God, you start feeling the healing power of God. It goes straight to those areas where the devil has damaged. We'll get to that part very soon. We'll get to that part very soon. I want you to see how God can easily cure you and pluck you out of your fire. He can heal your body instantly. Instantly. Your vision can be restored. Your feeling can be res. Your energy can be restored instantly. Instantly. Oh my god. Oh my god. We'll get to that very soon. Just walk with me. Walk with me, my brothers and sisters. Just walk with me. We are heading towards the promised land. No weapon that is fashioned against me shall prosper. Now I've told you the overall weapon is the environment that makes the weapon flourish. That environment is called godlessness. Avoid that at all cost. That's why we started off on salvation. Take it seriously. Thank you, Father.
