I know that, um, it is, uh, it is really an excitement and a joy to have me, and, um, I've seen it, I've felt it, but I don't think you have an idea that it is my PR, privilege and my honor to be here. And, uh, I've been very emotional the whole day just trying to ask God to give me energy and strength to not be emotional on stage.
Um, I went to school across here, and every time I've driven through this place, um, it was, it was very prophetic to me, 'cuz I never knew that I was going to be able to come back. Some stuff are very, very prophetic. And, um, so, um, it is, it is really Divine timing, and it's very humbling, and I'm privileged to to be here more than you are.
Um, I'm so honored that God has allowed me, after going all over the place, all over the world, to come back, um, into a place where I spent literally four years and schooled. Um, so I'm so honored and I'm grateful for your courage and, uh, and your boldness, because, um, um, Reverend Fred came—thank you, keep adjusting that for me—Reverend Fred came to, um, Ma—okay, I'm good—to MAA when, um, I think it was last year, uh, when I had this interdenominational Gathering.
And, um, when I saw him there, 'cuz we had chatted a little bit on social media, also touch that he came out there to, uh, sit and be blessed, and we stayed in the same guest house. And I remember saying to him, when he expressed to me that it was his desire that I would come to Chuka, and I, I told him, "Look, I give you a promise, I give you a word. I'm not sure when, but I'm going to come and serve you."
And so I've come here in humility, um, to serve you, and it's just the beginning of serving, um, you and, um, you and your precious wife. It, it's not difficult to know when the hand of God is on somebody, and it's, it's very critical to identify when people are on the rise and be of any support that you can be.
And I'm not here to preach. I'm not here to, um, really do the best I can do. I came to serve, serve you. I came to support you. I came to, um, more than just speaking here, to sit with you, to pour my heart to you, to share, uh, my experiences, to give whatever counsel I can give.
And I honor Bishop Weston and Reverend Sophie. Thank you so much for, um, for the grace that you have upon you, and for all that you have raised in this, um, uh, part of the world. I want to appreciate every man and woman of God, um, uh, Bishop Karoke and the rest of you, without mentioning names. I'm, I'm, I'm humbled to be here to serve you and to speak, and I hope you'll be able to get something, um, from the Lord, and, uh, look forward to be a blessing.
Uh, it's one of those nights that I, I didn't feel like I wanted to come and really preach a good sermon, but I just want to come and talk to you briefly. And after that, we will be able to see where God has to take as my brother Igna is here, is a preacher too, um, um, and I honor you. Thank you for coming down with me.
Um, all right, all right, all right, all right, all right! If you have your Bible, let's try this: Acts chapter number three. While you still stand, Acts chapter number three. Acts chapter number three. All the pastors, all the men of God, all the women of God, all, and all of you, bless you, bless you! Amen! Bless you, bless you!
Acts 3 and verse number one, um, we'll read quite a bit and, um, then just talk. I've come to a place in my walk with God where what matters is for one of you to get a Rhema word, Rhema word.
Um, verse number one: "Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at The Hour of Prayer, being the ninth hour. And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, was carried, whom they laid daily at the Gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, and asked, uh, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple. Who, seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple, asked an alms."
And Peter—very, very important, um, uh, this particular part of scripture—and Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, "Look on us! Look on us!"
And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them. Then Peter said, "Silver and Gold have I none, but such as I have give I Thee. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise and walk!"
And he took him by the right hand, lifted him up, and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength. And leaping up, stood and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking and leaping and praising God.
Somebody say, "Walking!" "Walk!" "And leaping!" "Leap!" "And praising God!" "And praising God!"
Um, verse number nine then says, "And all the people saw him walking and praising God."
Allah love, um, Allah love. My subject is, "Look on us." Allah love. Verse number four: "And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, 'Look on us!'"
In the Greek Bible, it, it, it expresses this portion like this: "And Peter, giving a very close stare at the man, said to him, 'Look on us! Look on us!'"
I don't know if you have ever fastened your eyes on somebody, but I have a few times in my life when, uh, certain people that are close to me probably said something I didn't expect them to say or did something I didn't expect them to do. And then I gave them that look, that look that is straight into the eye: "Are you for real? Are you sure?"
And so Peter and John, particularly Peter, fastening his eyes on this guy, he said, "Look on us!" And the Bible says that this man looked at him, expecting to receive the best alms ever in his life. But Peter said, "Silver and Gold have I none, but such as I have give I Thee."
I don't think I'll be able to go deep into this. I want to try to be as, uh, on the surface as I can. But he says, "Look on us." "Us" is plural, but when he gives the solution, he says, "Silver and Gold have I none." That means that even if it was John speaking, he would say the same thing. But, "Look on us, such as I have, I give to thee."
Daddy, I was waiting for this day, and I thank you that you have allowed me and enabled me to make history again today. That in the same ground where I came through and I went into High School, the same place I traveled every time for four good years, the same place that you allowed me to grow up, not knowing the destiny that you had for me, not knowing the future you had for me, you've allowed me to come back here and be a blessing.
And I pray that I will be a blessing today, that I will leave a word to somebody, a word that will be able to carry along for years in their lives, to the glory and honor of your name. That we shall be able to look at a generation and say to a generation, "Look on us!"
While there is so much gimmick going on, we shall have something to offer to a generation and say, "Look on us!" We will not be stuck anymore by the predicaments of this world. We will not be stuck anymore by the tragedies that happen around us. We will not be stuck anymore by people dying of incurable diseases around us. But we shall be able to look at them, fastening our eyes on them, and say, "Look on us! We have been with the Lord, and we have something to offer to a generation!"
And so I bless you and I thank you for every man, every woman of God that is here, every boy, every girl, every child that came down here. I'm so glad that we all came, but I'm more glad that you came before we came. Isn't it amazing that we left you in our houses and we found you here because of your omnience? You are everywhere at all times, and whether Elias Ne that came or not, it doesn't matter, as long as you came.
And so I, I decree and I declare that this ground shall be a Rhema breaking ground, and that your name shall be glorified in this house. Break the back of the enemy! Break the yoke of darkness! Open up the Heavens! Open up the supernatural! Break the fountains of the deep, and let there be a flooding in this house in an amazing way! And above all, feed us, and we shall be fed! Touch us, and we shall be touched! Heal us, and we shall be healed! Deliver us, and we shall be delivered, to the glory of your name! So shall it be, for it cannot be otherwise! And somebody shouted, "Amen!" "Amen!"
Have your seat. Let's try to talk this very, very quickly. Um, I'm, I'm going to try to do 45 minutes. Um, Ignor, please time me. It's 8:04 right now. I need 45 minutes. Time me very closely now.
Um, I listen to, and, and I'm a student of the Bible. I love the Bible. I've been a student for 20-something years, 27 years or so, and I love the Bible. If there's anything that I love, it is the word of God and the Bible. And I get so thrilled and so excited when I begin to look at scripture very deeply and very closely, and see the depth of the wealth locked up in the word of God that is unveiled and revealed by the Holy Spirit, by the spirit of Revelation.
And so I love the gospels, and I love to look through the, the words in red, because I know that he was the word, and anything he spoke was life, um, um, um, and Rhema, which encapsulated or carried within it the Zoy life of God. So everything that the word spoke was Rhema.
And so I love to stay in the gospels, and I love to come back over and over and over and over. And I closely listen to Christ, uh, speak to his disciples just before he got to, to the cross. And when he began to talk to them, it is these words that began to catch me very closely, that when I got to read the book of Acts and go to chapter number three, and, and, and so this experience of Peter and John, it began to, uh, open up some deeper places in Revelation. And I'm going to try to throw that to you very, very, very quickly.
In John chapter number 14 and verse number 15, Jesus says that if you love me, you've got to keep my Commandments. And I will pray the Father, and, and he shall give you another Comforter. He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever.
I'm going to come back to "another." The word Greek word there is "Allos," which means "one like us," even the Spirit of Truth, whom the world cannot receive because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him. But you know him, for he dwelleth with you, with you, and shall be in you. Very, very key.
For now, the world cannot receive him because the world cannot see him. I'm talking about when Christ is talking, because I'm going to talk very quickly, because there's a million things I want to throw down there before we come to Peter and John. It says, "For now the world cannot see him because the world does not know him. But, but, but you will see him because he is with you. He is with you. He's around you. As long as I am here, he is with you. He is with you around you. But there's going to be a time that he will not just be with you, you, but he shall be in you, in you, and the world will not be able to understand him."
"I will not leave you comfortless, but I will come unto you. Yet a little while, and the world see me no more." Stay with me, Chuka, something is coming down here! "Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more, but you see me because I live, and you shall live also. At that day, you shall know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you."
It's coming, that day when you will know that I am in my Father, and you in me, and I in you. And what Christ is doing here now is that he looks into his disciples, and in a nutshell, he's trying to say to his disciples that it is getting closer to the time when I will have to leave. I will have to get out of here physically. I have been with you in the world physically, and it's time that this body—try to simplify this—that this body will have to leave.
But when this body leaves, I'm going to show you the switch and the transition that is going to happen when this body leaves, so that you understand, understand that even though you will not have a physical body to cling onto to be able to see aspects of divinity, because you have been hanging around with me. You've seen me open blind eyes. You've seen me raise the dead. You've seen me break bread. You've seen me do things that are not ordinary.
You've had Nicodemus come to me. I told you Nicodemus came to me and told me that though he's a Pharisee, there are things that he has seen that he has never seen before, and he believes that come from above. And so the time is coming when I have to get out of this. I have to get this body out of here.
But earlier on, within the same context, when you go home, I want you to go back and read up there within the same context, he tells them that the things that I do, you shall do also, and greater things than this you will do. And as they are staring at him and wondering, "How are we going to be able to do this stuff that you do, and greater things than the things you do?" he begins to go down there and he begins to tell them, "You know what? I'm, I'm, I'm going to leave. The world doesn't understand this Holy Spirit that, that is with me, that is in me, that is me, because Trinity and Tri is one thing. But it does not know him or receive him. But in, in you, you have him with you. But in that day, he shall be with you. And in a little while, in a little while, this world will not see me, because that hour is coming when this body has got to leave. I have to get out of here so I can introduce you to something else."
We all know that Christ was God and is God. Even in his Earthly Ministry, he was 100% God and 100% man. But he came into the flesh because of an aspect of theology that is called Incarnation, when God gets into the Flesh. And the primary purpose of Incarnation is what is called in theology as well, Atonement.
Atonement is the process by which God and man became at one—me, when something was offered as a sacrifice. And because of that sacrifice, God was appeased, because his anger and his wrath was quenched, which is against sin, and God and Humanity was able to meet together again. Stay with me, going somewhere.
So Atonement was that particular day when a special offering was done, a special sacrifice was made, and the high priest went into the holy of holies with this Blood. The writer of Hebrews says that he could not enter there without the blood, because there was no way that the Fallen man, after Adam had fallen, would come into the purity of the presence of God with his nature without something having had to die, because it is that thing that died that appeased God, God to say that, "You know what? Something has already died."
And so this day was called the Day of Atonement, at one—me, when God and Humanity were able to meet together. The reason for God becoming flesh and God coming into the body is because of Atonement, so that one sacrifice will bring man back to God once and for all, and deal with a sin problem once and for all. And we're going to go deeper into that.
Once Adam sinned in the Garden of Eden, God showed by killing an animal that the only way that man and God could meet after the fall was through a mediation that involved blood and death. Go back there again! Oh God, help us here tonight!
When Adam sinned, sin came into the world. It's called in, uh, biblical studies, "the Fall of Man." And when sin came into the world, the Fall of Man plunged the entire human race into greater darkness, because all of us, according to the Book of Romans, Paul to the Romans, we all were counted to have sinned, because sin came into the whole world through the offense of one man. And that sin became a problem between the, the interaction of God and humanity.
And when God came down, there's something that God did in the Garden of Eden when he laid his hands on an animal that had not participated in the sin and slaughtered it. Whatever it slaughtered, sheds blood and took out the skin of the sinless in order to cover the nakedness of sinners. And while God was doing that, he was pointing to 2 Corinthians, where which says, "God made him to be sin who knew no sin, that we might receive the righteousness of God."
Now many of you don't understand that the Revelation behind Cain and Abel. Abel had a revelation, which some theologians say that could have been really caught by whatever Adam taught. But Abel had a revelation, and Abel knew that after the fall, there is no way that you could come before God in sacrifice that does not involve blood. Going somewhere tonight!
And so God killed an innocent animal, and this he did because he was showing that the only way after the fall that Divinity, God, and Humanity, man, could interact again is in the presence of death and blood, because the nature of God, the wrath of God, is revealed against all ungodliness. And so whenever there is anything that is sinful and you expose God to it, God is bound to strike. But when there is blood on the way, and I'll show you as we go down, when there is blood on the way, blood says that something has already died, and you don't have to strike again.
The blood and the death was to say that something has already given its life, so you don't have to strike twice. That's the whole reality, Chuka, of the Passover that happened in Egypt when the firstborns were dying. God said to Moses, to Joshua—Moses, he said to Moses, "When I see the blood, when I see the blood, I will pass over you."
Initially, he had said there that the blood shall be to you a token, a token. "I want you to get a lamb without blemish. I want you to kill the lamb." I'm going to lay this foundation for the next 10 minutes or so, five. "I want you to kill it, but what I want you to do is to extract the blood—it's too hot—I want you to extract the blood in a basin, and you're going to strike that blood upon the door, and the blood shall be a token, a token."
The word "token" there in Hebrew means an invisible, a visible sign of an invisible reality. That means that that blood is going to be saying stuff that is beyond red on a post. It is a visible sign of an invisible reality. So when I, when the angel of death comes, there's going to be a sign saying, "Something has already died for this, so you can't kill here."
And therefore, the slaughter of the innocent animals, of animal in the Garden of Eden, was pointing to the sacrifice that Christ was becoming when God became flesh. When God took up the body, it was to bring all these things that you're seeing in the Old Testament to one final showdown and to a close of it, so that one, one sacrifice reconciles man back to God once and for all.
And so the Levitical sacrifices of the Old Testament was pointing to this sacrifice. All the bulls and calves and lambs and animals being slaughtered in the Old Testament were pointing to this sacrifice. Abraham's offer of Isaac pointed to this sacrifice. The Passover Lamb of Egypt pointed to this sacrifice. The writer of the book of Hebrews then says it was final. There was no need for another once Christ died on the cross. It was final.
And while he was in this body—I'm trying to give the reason for Incarnation—he performed great signs and wonders. He was, he was God and he was man. He walked as Jesus. Isaiah says that "unto us a child is born." Mary gave birth to the child born in the manger. He then says, "unto us a son is given," because at Jordan, the son was given, and the Holy Spirit came upon him in the form of a dove.
I watched the movie many years back, and I saw a white dove flying and resting on the shoulder. If you saw the movie of Jesus, I want to say to you, there was no dove. There was no dove. There was no bird. It was the Holy Spirit in the form of a dove that came upon him and brought about a new definition of what is called Christos.
Christos, meaning "the anointed one with the anointing," which means the Holy Ghost coming upon. The anointing is not crying. The anointing is not falling down. The anointing is not, not screaming. The anointing is the presence of God that comes in the form of the Holy Spirit coming upon in order to be able to carry out Divine assignment while in the human flesh.
And so at that point, a voice says, "A son, behold my son, in whom I'm well pleased." At that point, a son was given, and so we have Christos. Stay with me.
And he began to walk on the face of the Earth and begin to perform signs and wonders, not because he was anything, uh, wholly supernatural, but because he was a human being that had the Holy Ghost on him. And because of that, the Christos aspect was upon him, the anointed one with the anointing, hence he could perform the things that he performed. Stay with me now.
John in his gospel begins to narrate it this way. He says, "In the beginning was the Word." If, if you got to listen to me, you got to love the Word, because there's a place I want us to go. I don't want to come here and give you, "shall be the head and of the tail." Oh, you blessed, you blessed, you blessed! I know you're blessed, I know you're blessed, I know you're blessed! I want to come here and give you the Word. Do I have a witness in this place?
John begins to narrate it this way. John says, "In the beginning was the Word. In the beginning was the Word." John takes us to the beginning, and John says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." This began to challenge my theology, because I thought John would say that in the beginning was God, and God was with the Word, and the Word was like God. But John says, "No, no, no, no, no, no, no! In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
He says, "The same was in the beginning with God. All things"—somebody say, "All things!"—"say, 'All things!'"—"were made by him. All things! All things were made by him." Now the Word has a personality. Now it is "him." Keep holding John and Peter, don't lose them. "All things were made by him, and without him was nothing made that was made. And in him, this Word, was life, and the life was the light of men."
So when the Bible says, "you are the light," it, it says, "you've got to be full of this life, because this life is the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness, and darkness comprehended it not."
I want to show you something, man of God. We've always said that the appearance—sit, sit, sit—the appearance of light is the disappearance of darkness. But it says here that light shines in darkness, and darkness does not understand it. And this light is not a bulb, it is the life. Let me tell you, when you get full of this light and this life, people will not be able to understand you and comprehend you. You're too predictable! That's the problem! You are too predictable!
Nicodemus comes with his fascal background and says to Jesus, "You know what? I perceive you from above." Jesus says, "Rubbish! Except you are born again, you cannot see." Somebody say, "See!" "See!" I can't hear you, Chuka, say, "See!" "See!"
Did you ever see that you cannot see the kingdom of God? That means the kingdom of God can be seen. He says, "Except you're born again, you cannot see." And while they keep on talking, then he changes later, just like he did when Lazarus died. Said, "He's sleeping, he's sleeping," and they were not understanding. "He's dead." Then, uh, who is that guy? Phillip said, "Let's go." No, Thomas, "Let's go die with him." He said, "No, no, he sleeps." This guy, "No, he's, he dead?" "No, he sleeps." Okay, then now he didn't get it the same way Nicodemus couldn't get it. He said, "You can't see the kingdom of God." Then later he says, "Okay, you can't enter." That means she will never enter if you don't see.
Can we talk a little bit? If you don't see, you can't enter. The disciples say, "We've picked up something, sir," to Jesus. "We've realized that you are talking in parables whenever people come close, but the moment they leave, you begin to talk in plain language. Why do you do that?"
He says to them, "Because unto you it is given to know, to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God. It is a mysterious Kingdom, and if you're not born again, you can't see." I'm coming to Peter and John.
"And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us." In his letter, John says, "That which we heard about, that which when the time came we saw, that which we handled with our hands, that is the word of life that will speak to you that your joy may be full." It says, "And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld this Glory." The Greek word there is "Doxa." "We beheld this Glory, the Glory as of the begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth."
When the Word became flesh and was sent to us, we beheld his Doxa. We beheld this Glory. We saw Glory. Doxa means all that God is and all that God has. It was not long before we realized that there's something about this guy that is not ordinary, because we began to see Doxa. We began to see the glory of God. We began to see all the that God is and all that God has.
If you catch this, we're closing very few minutes now. Glad I came all the way! I'm coming into your house! I'm coming into your business! Coming into your body! I'm coming into your environment! I'm coming into your 2017! Tonight, something has got to change! Tonight, something has got to shift! That devil is a liar! I'm coming into your home! I'm coming to your mother who's not here! I'm coming down to your uncle who's down in Maro! Today, today, something has got to change! Somebody shout, "Yes!"
Sit down. When he came in the flesh, we saw, we saw. We thought we had an ordinary man, but then we began to see Doxa. We began to see glory. And the, the reason why is Grace and Truth is because truth is still the word, and the moment the word is out, Grace carries out what the word says.
So what John is saying here is that he is not just the beginning, but the source and the creator of everything. And he's saying that we saw that, we saw that though he, he was human, he was also God. He began to do things on the earth. I'm talking about Incarnation, God coming in the flesh.
And I love how Paul is putting it across to the Colossians in chapter 1 and verse number 19. Paul says, "God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in Christ." NIV sense of anointing. You know what? God was happy to have all his fullness, all his fullness, dwell in Christ. In chapter 2:9, then he says, "Christ then became the fullness of the Godhead bodily." That means that when you saw him, and I laugh how John sees him walking down Jordan, he stands up and stops everything and he says, "Behold the Lamb of God!"
And John is answering a theological question that has taken years and years and years to be answered, and was asked by Isaac when Isaac is carrying wood that he's going to die on. And Isaac is saying, "You know what? I see the wood and I see the fire, but where is the sacrifice?"
And this becomes a generational thing, in the chronological thing, because John the Baptist is going to answer this question when he sees him walking down Jordan, and it says, "Behold the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world!"
I don't think you understood this. I think I got to close now. I don't think you understand this very closely. But Abraham and Isaac were used, and after researched this, were used to sacrificing, because it was an order of the day. It was not the f time that Isaac and Abraham were going down to sacrifice something.
But this particular day, the Bible says there were two large—Hebrew is large—strong young men that were carrying wood for this altar, because the altar where you sacrifice a 17-year-old is not made by three sticks. And so two young men are carrying wood to go and build an altar that is going to sacrifice a boy.
But when he sees Moriah, he says to the young man, "You can't go beyond here, because beyond here we are going to worship. I'm going to express my worth to God. You can't come beyond here." Moriah is a type of Calvary.
And I love what Abraham does. He takes the wood that two young men were carrying and he puts on the back of a 17-year-old boy. Now the boy is carrying the same tree, or the same Cross, or the same wood that he's going to die on. And when he feels the weight, he says, "Daddy, I see the wood and I see the fire, but where is...?"
And this is a theological question, but it's going to be answered by John when he says, "Here is the Lamb!"
When he walked on the earth—I'm going to close now—when he walked on the earth, locked within him was the ability and capacity to create whatever he wanted, because "by him were all things made, and without him was nothing made that was made." That's why he turned the water into wine. That's why they could feed 5,000 men with five loaves of bread. That's why he could bring Lazarus back to life after he was dead for four days, because locked within that body was capacity and ability to create anything that he needed.
That's why he could bring Jairus his daughter back to life. He had no problem with bimi's eyes being blind, because in that body—and I'm going to preach this in a little while—in that body was capacity to do whatever that he needed to do at any given time. You've got to walk with me now.
In that body, in the body that walked down Galilee, in the body that went down Judea, in the body that ate bread with them, in that body was capacity to do anything that he would have wanted to do. But then comes this moment when Jesus begins to say that, "I've got to go." I'm on page 11, and I've got 24 pages, meaning I will never finish, but I've got to close now. In that body, while he walked down there, in that body was Divinity locked in humanity, and he had capacity to do anything that he wanted to do.
He was not afraid of any demons; demons were afraid of him. He was not afraid of any witches; witches were afraid of him. He was not afraid of poverty, because he could change money into whatever he wanted. It was in that body that he could send Peter to open the mouth of a fish and bring money. While he was in that body, that body had the capacity to do anything that he wanted to do.
But then the time [Applause] came that he said, "Now this body has got to go." But when this body goes, all I am doing, I'm taking away the physical, that which you can touch. I'm taking away the physical so that you don't depend on anything physical. I'm taking you back to how it all started. There was nothing to hold, but faith was key. I'm taking you back to the reality of the invisible Dimension. Somebody shout, [Applause] "Yes!"
This morning, it's going to go, but I will not leave you alone. I will send you another one like us, "another," which means that whatever I have that has made me do this, you will also have it, because it is the Spirit of Truth that the world cannot receive because they can't see him. He is with you, and he shall be in you.
When he comes into you, then now you will be what I am now. And in the letter, John says in his first letter, chapter number four and verse number seven, "As he is, so are [Applause] we."
Daddy, you got to help me down here now! When I live in this body, I will not leave you comfortless, but I will send you another. When this other comes, who is just like me, he will not just walk around with you, but he shall live in you. When he lives in you, you will not be an ordinary church member. When he lives in you, you will not warm the bench. When he lives in you, you will not be religious. When he lives in you, you will not just be traditional. Chuka, I came to tell you, you did not get born again so you can join the church and be traditional, but you got saved so you can carry God and become the embodiment of divinity.
Jesus is not here physically, but now you are the body of Christ. [Applause] You now carry God. So wherever you go, God is there. When you're driving, God is driving. When you are eating, God is eating. When you're laying down, God is laying down. When you're in the gym, God is in the gym. Why? You're not just a member of a church, you are the embodiment of [Applause] divinity!
You carry God! And if you carry God, demons ought to know that you carry God! If you carry God, your generation has got to know that you carry God! If you carry God, your family will know that you carry God! If you carry God—I don't know if there's anybody here that has God—the fullness of God is now dwelling in you! Therefore, you are more than a conqueror! Shout, [Applause] "Yeah!"
No weapon fashioned against you shall be able to prosper! You carry God! As a no weapon fashioned against you shall be able to prosper, 'cuz you carry God! Cancer has got to bow! Sugar diabetes has got to bow! High blood pressure has got to bow! HIV and AIDS has got to bow! Somebody shout, "Yeah!" A woo! I'm so glad that the devil never killed you when you are ignorant, because now it's too late! Go tell your enemies, Eliah Ne said, "You are too dangerous for this generation!" Shout, "Yeah!" [Applause]
You carry God! You are now the body! He says, "I'm going to take away the physical, but I will send you another who will now be inside [Applause] you!"
I don't care who does not like you, there's nothing they can do, because "greater is he [Applause] that is in you than he that is in the world!" Let them call you names, but you are more than a conqueror! Somebody shout, [Applause] "Yeah!"
When you have the Holy Ghost, you have the power of God! When you have the Holy Ghost, doors begin to open! When, when you have the Holy Ghost, you have access to money! When you have the Holy Ghost, sicknesses bow! When you have the Holy Ghost, generations begin to listen! When you have the Holy Ghost, the power of God is with you! Shout, "Yes!"
Now here we close, here we close. Peter and John are going up. My voice—I've been praying a long time. I wish I didn't pray too much, crying too much. There's an anointing in this house, I'm tell you the truth. They're going up, and this guy was born lame. The original Greek says that his legs were twisted. He was, he was born twisted legs, and they carried him, the Bible says, daily, and put him at the entrance of the, of the temple, because at least anybody who came to worship God had a heart of God. And when they saw twisted legs, because they were going to worship God, they will have a compan passion and give him money. And so he was used to receiving money.
But this particular day, Peter and John are coming to the temple to worship as well. And when, when he gets close, they get close to this guy, he looks at them, and the Bible says Peter and John fastened their eyes on him. And when they fastened, he looked at them, knowing, "Today I'm receiving the best offering, and I'm never going to come begging again."
And when Peter looked—this is what got me crying—he said, "Look on us!" I don't know who I came to preach to, but I need a generation of a church that has something to offer to the dying generation! Oh, I wish I had a voice here!
I need a people that will say to those that are dying of HIV and AIDS, "Look on us!" I need a people that will look at the broke and say, "Look on us!" I need a people that will go to the ICU and to the ward and to the hospital and tell the sick, "Look on us!" I need a people that will go to the marketplace and to the business world and say, "Look on us! Look on me! I've got something to give you! Silver and gold I don't have, but I have!"
This is my question, Chuka: "What do you have?" You've been coming to church for 10 years, "What do you have?" You've been praying for five years, "What do you have?" You've been a deacon for seven years, "What do you have?" Your generation is dying! There is heresy and deception in this generation! "What do you [Applause] have?"
You have the name of your pastor? You have your church? You have membership? "I'm a member of Deliverance Church. I was born again in 1923. I've been a Christian for 45 years." Is that what you have?
I'm leaving you with the question. The generation is dying. People, sicknesses are all over the place. "What do you have to offer? Look on us!"
And I lay down to God, and I said to God, "I'm so humbled to go back to Chuka where I went to school. I'm so honored to come to this man of God that is on the rise, that God is blessing and using." And I, and I didn't care whether I was going to find 10 people. All of you that came here, I'm one of them guys that preached to 40,000 people the same way I preached to 50 people. It doesn't matter. I was going to come and say to you, "Look on me! I was on the streets here. This was my market. I, I went to school here, and I don't have any loan to give you. I don't have any money to donate to you. But such as I have is what I brought to you all the way from South Africa. Such as I [Applause] have!"
Listen! I have something! I'm not testing it, I proved it! I have something! And such as I have tonight, I'm going to give it to you! I said, "I'm going to give it to you!"
And he grabbed him. He said, "In the name of Jesus, rise up!" And he, his knees and ankles began to get strength. I want to show you something you never saw there. He, it says, "and leaping, he got up." He didn't try to, when they grabbed him, leaping he got up, and he began to get into, to walk—thank you, sir—with them into the temple.
But this is the part I'm leaving you with: He did not just walk, but the Bible says, "leaping and walking, leaping and walking, leaping and walking, leaping and walking!" He could just wait to make [Applause] steps! He said, "This every year, the years I have wasted sitting down there, I'm going to recover, recover all of them!"
And so, "sleeping and walking, leaping and walking!" I don't care how many years ago we said, "Today there is Grace in this house for you to leap and walk into your destiny! Leap and walk into your destiny tonight!"
I need men that can leap into your anointing! Leap into your finances! Leap into your destiny! Tell the devil, "If you thought I lost it, I hear God saying, 'I will restore to you the years that the cankerworms have eaten!'" Shout, "Yes!"
Leaping and walking and praising God! Leaping and walking and praising God! Leaping and walking and praising God! Leaping and walking and praising God! Leaping and walking and praising God!

Listen, listen! There are things you are just about to leap over in the name that is above every other name. If anybody thought it is over with you, they have no idea. You are just about to praise God. Shout, "Yes!"
[Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music]
I want to, I'm going to, I'm going to pray for you shortly. I'm going to pray for you shortly. Something is coming upon you right now.
But I want you to go back to scripture and don't ever play with scripture, because scripture is powerful. It doesn't say that he was limping. I've heard people say limping. No, he wasn't limping. He was [Applause] leaping!
I mean, he was too excited to start just walking, and he was going. He was leaping and walking, but in the process, he was dancing and praising God.
I decree and declare to you that in this 2017, you're going to make a leap you never thought you could ever [Applause] [Music] make.
I prophesy a major leap in your finances. I prophesy a major leap in your health. I prophesy a major leap in your anointing. I prophesy a major leap in your education. I prophesy a major leap in your life. Shout, "Yes!"
[Applause] [Music]
There's an anointing in your life.
There's a woman here that has had a lot of pain in one of your breasts, and you are scheduled to go for a check and be operated on. But I see you leaping out of that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
It's another person, Shand, with a growth on your armpit, under your arm. There's a growth, it's like a ball under your arm. And while we're praying, I see the power of God coming upon you so strongly and delivering you.
There are four men and two women that have a severe pain on your knees, on your knees, under your knee caps. Severe pain, and you can't get up at once easily because that pain is sharp on your knees. Watch tonight as the power of God flows into your knees, and God is giving you capacity to leap out of that.
In this building is a group of people that within the next 10 months, you will move into a financial dominion that you never thought you could get into. Heavens are open in the name of Jesus. Somebody shout, "Yes!"
Listen, you can do your homework on me when you get a chance. In over 101 nations around the world, there's no particular place that God has sent me and the power of poverty was not broken. Supernatural doors begin to open financially. Why? Because I carry a grace, and such as I have, I give unto [Music] [Applause] you.
I rebuke asthmatic condition. I rebuke sugar diabetes. I rebuke HIV and AIDS in the name of Jesus of [Music] [Applause] Nazareth.

Take it down now. No, no, not to your hands, the keyboard. Keep, keep your hand up. Keep your hand up. The keyboard down. Everybody's hand lifted, every eye [Laughter] closed. Wherever you are.
I flew all the way not to come, be careful, ashes, but be careful now, not to come here for a service. I came for destinies. Amen. Amen. I came for lives. Amen. Many years from now, you will remember this night. Amen.
Keep your hands lifted. Yes, every eye closed. And now, now, Daddy, that which I carry, which I have carried for years, as I leave Chuka, I decree and I declare that such as I have, let anointing things be produced out of this place. Let millionaires be born out of this place. Careful, careful, careful, careful, careful, careful. Let healing explode out of this [Applause] place.
Keep your hand up. Keep your hand up. Something is, let me tell you, there's a trans, there's a release of grace. There is a release of grace into your life. As I keep saying this, let nobody leave this place [Applause] sick. Such as I have, I give to you now. [Applause]
Take those two hands and put on your head, and from the crown of your head, Lord, to the soles of your feet, receive the power that will make you leap and walk and praise God. Amen.
Keep your hand on your head. There's something flowing from your head to your feet, and in that flow, every yoke is broken. That's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's it, that's [Music] it.
Somebody has not been able to have a child. By this time next year, yes, your baby shall be dedicated. That's it. Watch it. It's there, it's there. I tell you, it's there, it's there, it's there. That yoke is broken. Barrenness is broken. Yes.
There's a woman here that has a child that is over 2 years old and has not been able to talk, has not been able to speak a [Music] [Applause] [Music] word. Watch that child. The power of God is coming upon that child in the name of Jesus, leaping and walking and praising God. Look on us shall be your next statement in Jesus name. Amen.
Now we got to go to work tomorrow. We got to go back to business tomorrow. Lift your hands above your head now and clap them like you want to break them. [Applause] [Music] [Applause]
Come on, Chuka, you can do better than that. Hallelujah!
Watch, as I said before, I'm so humbled to come back and be able to pour unto you again. As I said before, the door is now open. It's just the [Music] [Applause] [Music] beginning.
I want to come back for 3 days, and I want us to do teaching, liberating teaching, line upon line, precept upon precept, a little here, a little there. And after the three days, it's going to be another level.
Tonight, listen, I'm not one of those guys who like to say, "I saw this, I saw that," but I feel, I feel tempted to say to you this: I saw a block. It was like a wall, and literally a block moved. [Music]
It's, it's, it's like there was a moving. Okay, I got it, I got it, I got it. Don't worry, I know it's an expensive mic. There was a moving of the wall, but it did not collapse. And what God is saying to me to tell you is that you may not have a clue, but tonight, spiritually, something about your life has moved.
