NUMEROLOGY: IS IT DEMONIC? // REVEALED // PROPHET LOVY L. ELIAS

The secret things belong unto the Lord our God, but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children forever. This is revealed. [Applause] [Music] [Applause] Oh [Music] yeah! This feels like it will be the best revealed ever. The Lord is good. Father, may your name be glorified now and eternally, in the name of your son Jesus. Jesus, amen, amen. Oh yeah, oh yeah.

So, um, can we refresh the YouTube before I go crazy before I push deep? Okay, so I want you to like the video, share the video. Let somebody know, let somebody know, let somebody know that we are live, and the Lord Jesus will indeed be glorified. Because the point of understanding and learning all these things is so that we can be useful in God's hands; so that the Lord may use us primarily to bring glory and honor to him, and also to bring a lot of people to salvation, that his sheep will hear his voice, even through our voice.

This is going to be a little bit sensitive. The truth is, what I'm about to teach should not be controversial. Anyone who is a theologian, anyone who has ever spent time in the study of scriptures, knows what I'm about to talk about. We may differ in the depth of understanding, but regardless, anyone that has ever studied scripture—not reading for just spiritual purposes, but the study of patterns in scripture, study of God's operation in scripture—knows what I'm about to talk about. So before I start, like the video, subscribe, share it, turn your notifications on, so that every time I'm live you are aware. Also, remember, um, I actually was going to post more flyers for revealed, but I was like, I was going to bomb my Instagram page, so I said, let me just do this few, and then I'm going to post some more.

Now we are going to be speaking about numerology. Is it demonic? I'm going to say it again: numerology, is it demonic? And where does the concept of something being demonized come from? The idea, idea of demonization means the corruption or the taking over of something that was pure, for Satan's use. So when an act is demonic, it's saying the intention of the act has been perverted. Are you getting it? An example: killing is wrong, should not murder anybody. What is murder? Killing somebody for carnal reasons, envy, jealousy—that's why people kill, and some people just kill because they're bloodthirsty, they just want violence. Okay, that is called murder. But if there is somebody invading your house and you defend your family, that is not murder, that is self-defense. Notice the action is the same: somebody's life is lost. The difference is for what reason? Yes. So whatever the reason is will determine if something is diabolical or not—who was behind it. If the devil is behind it, it is what? Demonic. If God is behind it, then God saved you. Amen. Are you getting it? Because if somebody was coming to kill you and instinctually God uses you to overcome them, you won't say the devil made you safe, you say God gave me the strength to defend myself. So notice what you did came from God, even though the act can be still the same act, but the reason for it determines what it will be labeled as. Is this making sense? Yes.

So an example: there's a big difference between a wedding and a marriage. Amen. There's a lot, lot of people who are wedded but they are not married. Just because you got a license doesn't make it okay if you are not married. Because to be married means the blending of two lives. So a wedding without a marriage is not a marriage. So God doesn't attend weddings, God attends what? Marriages. [Applause] Is this making sense? Okay, I know I just offended some people, but I'm telling you the truth. Because remember, every culture, every culture has the concept of marriage, every culture, but not every culture has a concept of weddings. Even though majority will have that concept of going in front of a spiritual leader in order to join you together, but some of the ancient tradition was just families come together and they bless you, and you guys go start your thing. No ring, no nothing, because these are modern ways of our expression for love and things like that. But you need to—I'm not trying to get into semantics—but I'm trying to show you, or to open your minds, to start understanding things beyond what you see as an outcome, but also, also to understand the intent.

Now the issue is many of you are learning spiritual things from people who are not called to teach it. A person who cannot prophesy is telling you what prophecy should be like. A person who cannot hear the voice of God is telling you how the voice of God should sound like. A person who does not understand the operations of the spirit is trying to tell you how the Holy Spirit works. Now the reality is we choose the kind of teachers we want, because nobody's putting any kind of weapon on your head to tell you who to listen to. You choose what caters to you. So people blame the preachers, but it's not really the preachers, it is the saints. You're choosing what you align with. That's why it says many will have itchy ears and they will cleave themselves to their own teachers. So who is cleaving to the teachers? It's the members. So it is wisdom to know somebody's track record on something before you learn from them.

Now what is numerology? Numerology is the study of number, but the name numerology was taken over by the ultic sects for the study of number and meaning. So whenever you see the word numerology, it's usually connected to the occult. Why? Because it is the—it is—let me make it what it really is: it is the worship of numbers in order to predict the future or to understand the future. That is what numerology is. I don't know if—can somebody Google what it says numerology is? Let me make sure, because I, I never studied these things, I just know them by the spirit of God. Um, I want to make sure that I'm expressing it correctly. I know where I want to go, but I want to bring you somewhere. Yes. Numerology is the belief in an occult, divine, or mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events. So please, my general, read it one more time. Numerology is the belief in an occult—divine—notice occult is demonically inspired—uh-huh—keep going—divine or mystical relationship between a number and one or more coinciding events. So in numerology, it is not only an occultic, ultic thing, but it is also connecting numbers to events, coinciding events, meaning things that keep repeating. Yeah. Okay, is that very clear? Yes.

Now before I proceed, you have to understand: if the devil is interested in something, it means the first person to have his hands in it is God. Thank you, Father. Yes, uh, oh! Yes. The moment Satan is piing an interest, a serious, ious interest in something, immediately you understand that God was the first to ordain it, and now it is being perverted. That's good. That is the truth. Why? Because the devil has never created anything. Come on, Papa, this is just common sense. That's why I laugh at spiritual children who say powers of the devil. They don't understand the context that scripture is using. It is not saying that the devil created power, it is saying what was bestowed on him he is using it negatively. Why? Because all authority and power comes from above. So what the devil is using is not his, it is something he was given. And because—now, because you have to remember scripture speaks in first person, second person, and third person. So if I gave you a gun and you went and shot somebody, you won't say it was my gun. You—the police will say we found his gun that he used, not knowing the origin of it may have come from me. That is why you don't blame the shop owner from whom you bought the weapon from. Amen. So the ownership that Satan has over—he has—it's not because it actually is his. That's good. Wow. Just like everything you have is borrowed. Yes. The house you live in, the cars you have, the money you have. The Bible says the Earth is the Lord's and all that are in it. So meaning we and what we have is not actually ours. You have to remember the house you're living in, somebody used to live in it, they went on, their children went on, and now you are living in it. Just—that's how life is. But when you're around you can say it's my house. Tomorrow somebody else that will come after your time will say my house. So whose house is it really? Because the moment you speak about the originator, you will only speak about one person: God is always the originator. Amen.

When you go to the Book of Revelation, it speaks of the bottomless pit being open and different kind of diabolical powers coming from the depth of the bottomless pit. Yes. And the Bible says, and power was given to them. Power was given to them. Who is giving that power? God. Yes. So every jurisdiction that Satan has, it's because he has been given, yes, the ability to go that far. Yes. When he wanted to touch Job, he was told, don't—you can touch this, don't touch this. So if the devil touches something in your life, jurisdiction was permitted. Yes. That's good. It is not a measure of his power, it is a measure of God's permission. Stop giving the devil too much power. You see you're clapping his question. Okay, let's get offline. That's good. Make sense so far? Yes. Yes. So the originator of numbers is God himself. Yes, absolutely. God is a mathematical genius. Yes, yes. Because the primary means of communication when God was creating, numbers were very heavily involved. It's true. It is Genesis chapter 1. Genesis chapter 1, verse 1. Can we all read it together? 1, 2, 3. In the—in the beginning—uh, let's stop. 1, 2, 3. In the beginning God cre—stop right there. How can you measure without a number? Every form of measurement involves numbers. Yes. So in the beginning—so how do we know the beginning if numbers are not involved? Because now we are measuring the passage of time. That's understanding. That's good. How long was it? Yeah. What is the measure of it if numbers are not involved? I don't know if you—I do. Yeah. That's good. That's that's good. Understand that. So from the beginning of your Bible you're seeing measurements, because to measure the beginning it means that you have to have a measuring rod. Yes. That is measuring where things began. Ably. Yes. Because the beginning being spoken of here is not the beginning of of God, it is the beginning of creation. If you actually direct interpret this verse, it says God then he prepareth the beginning. That is actually how it reads in Hebrew. Amen. I love you, Father. Who has a Young Literal Translation? If you have the Bible app, there's a translation called the Young Literal Translation. It is like a direct translation of of uh of whatever where the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, the New Testament in Greek, but it will be a direct translation. It's called the Young Literal transl—translation. Now the issue with that, because it's a direct translation, many times you'll be lost in translation, because you—it's like saying—is there a Congolese person in here who's from Congo? Okay. Okay. So in Lingala, if we say a—if you know the direct translation it means men—it just went dark—but for us what it means, it's about to go down in a positive way, especially it's used in music—we about to go down—but the direct translation means it's gone dark. Beginning of God preparing the heavens and the Earth. So if you translate that in a party context, they were about to have fun and then it went dark and somebody shouted, it went dark, it would make sense, right? You see the danger of direct translations. Make sense? Yes. Okay. Who has the Young Literal Translation? Yes, or you do, General? Okay, read it for me, General. In the beginning of God's preparing the heaven—did you hear that?—in the beginning of God's preparing the heaven and the earth—uh-huh—the earth had existed waste and void and darkness. Notice he just confused you now. Yeah. In the beginning of God preparing the heavens and the earth, the earth already existed. So it is showing you when you're reading Genesis chapter 1, it is God preparing our era, yes, of creation. It is not telling you when the Earth was created. Good sir. Yes. Yes. Yes. That's good. Ah, you miss—you miss somebody. Yes. Because God is preparing it for what? For what he's about to do. Now, of the deep—so you don't see where Satan fell, you don't see where any of this event—you don't even understand—how can it exist void? What happened? It doesn't tell you, because it is only giving you a measurement of the 6,000 least of years that man has been given on Earth. I love that. I love you know the Bible tells you how long, yes, we have the lease of the Earth, how long we are here for. I love that it's there. It's the—the number is there: 6,000 years. But many times when people do the study of the earth, they say the Earth is 6,000 years old. That's not what the Bible is saying. Amen. Because if it existed void before what we know, then it cannot be 6,000 years old. But notice, why are we playing with numbers now? The only number you cannot calculate is zero, because zero is infinity. Yes. Thank you, Father. So you cannot measure where God came from, because God is what? Eternal. And because God is eternal, you can't measure when he was born, when he was created, where did he come from, because he's eternal. There is no way of measuring him. That's why we say God is big, God is great, because there is no form of measurement you can put to him. No. Yes. Impossible. It's impossible. Is this making sense? So from Genesis 1 you're already seeing numbers being involved in times of time. When you move forward, it says God said let there be light. Uh-huh. Uh, uh, uh. Verse 3. Read verse 3. No, you can read it in the regular translation now. I just wanted to prove a point. And God said—and—uh-huh—and God said, let there be—God said, let there be light, and there was light. Uh-huh. Keep going. Verse 4. And God saw the light, and that it was good. And God divided the light from the darkness. Verse 5. And God called the light day, and the darkness he called night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Now you already have a problem: first day. Now God is giving you numbers. Now the question I have for you: were these 24-hour days? Because a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years is like a day. So what is the measurement of the time of creation? Is it seven calendar days? Is it seven spiritual days? What is the measure of these days? Because God is not confined in time. Yes. So how is it determining it is the first day? Is it because he was in time, or is it because he's ordaining time? He's ordaining time. He's ordaining time. Yes. That's good. That's so good. Come on now. Notice what he's saying. It is not saying this was the first day. He said the evening God created light, he called this uh day and this one in the evening he called night. Yes. So remember what we call night to God is evening. Yes. Yes. The morning he called day, the evening he called night, and this was the first day. Yes. Okay. Now this is puzzling. Have you ever asked yourself why we, in the modern era, when we fast outside of the biblical days, when we fast, we say, um, I fasted for a day. But to God, he doesn't see that you fasted for a day, he sees that you fasted for two days, because the evening is a completely different world, and the day is a completely different world. So when Moses is fasting, they don't just tell you Moses fasted for 40 days, it says Moses fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, because God has made a distinction between day and night, because the day serves a different purpose both physically and spiritually, and the night also serves a different purpose both physically and spiritually. That is why Jesus prayed in the evening, why more than he did pray in the day. Why? What is going on? These are measurements still. It's going to get really crazy in a [Applause] second.

So the issue is you are used to secondhand information, and that becomes a problem. So anything you don't understand, you make it demonic. When it comes out of what you know to be acceptable according to your knowledge, immediately he becomes what? Satanic. True. I want us to look at a scripture quickly. Amen. I believe Psalms 71 and verse number 15. Psalm 71:15. Mhm. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers thereof. Mhm. One more time. My mouth shall show forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers thereof. Now David is saying something very strange. He's saying my mouth shall show forth thy righteousness, thy salvation all the day, for I know not the number thereof. David, what are you talking about numbers? Said I will praise you, I'll glorify you, even though I don't know the numbers. So David is trying to measure God and God's deeds, and he's saying I cannot number them because they are too many. Now the Bible itself—I know Muslims say this, but they stole it from us—they say uh the Quran is a mathematical miracle—lies, it's not true. In fact, the language that the scriptures were written in—in Hebrew—every letter has a numeric value. When you go from A to—every letter has a numeric value. What is 7 * 7 * 7? 343. Let me—let me help you. I had to write notes to—to be able to assist—to assist you. * 7 * 7. Okay. When Jesus told us to forgive, what did he say? Okay, let me test you. The—who you've spent some time in Israel now—what is the numeric value for the name Yahweh? Is 26. So to the Jews, if you say 26, you're talking about Yahweh, because it's a numeric value, it's tied to his name. And 77 is the numeric value for the name God. True. Yes. True. So you have to understand numbers actually communicate, not just information, but it's a means of communication. Amen. It's—it's a—it's a marvel. It's a big time marvel. Why? Because God embedded hidden messages within the numeric value. Let me give you an example. If you don't do the study of numbers, how will you know the Antichrist? Let's go to the Book of Revelations. Revelation chapter 13, verse 18. Here is wisdom, let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast, for it is the number of a man, and his number is 63 score and 6. Uhh. Did you just hear that? Here is wisdom—here is what wisdom—let him that hath understanding count the number of the Beast, for it is the number of a man. Why is it saying it is the number of a man? So the Beast will not come as a creature, he will come as a man. What is the number of man? Is number six, because Man was created on what? The sixth day. So where do you get 666? He's telling you when you calculate whatever is to be calculated, because this is the number of a man, you end up with six, six, six. That is the number of the Beast. So when you see this number, don't think it's a human being, right? It is actually a beast. So if you don't know the study of numbers and the numeric value of letters, you won't know who the Antichrist is. Everybody looks at—moner energy and says, you see this symbol 666, you see this 666. Where did it come—come from? Yeah. All—let's go offline. I'm about to lose my patience with—so everybody talks about the Antichrist and be careful—them tattoos are 666. It means you never studied. You see how they're marking their body—that's that 666. Notice everybody's speculating. Yeah. John the Revelator is saying, hey, can you do some math? That's true. Come on. That is true. Meaning for a second, take these numbers, do this, and you will discover that the number of the Beast is 666. So when you see somebody coming as a man, but these numbers correlate with what they are doing, then you know what they are hiding behind is the Antichrist. Meaning when the Antichrist comes, he will come with a numeric value. That numeric value may be in his name, because it says you will be marked on your forehead and on your right hand. You'll be marked—you'll be marked with a symbol. But notice, whatever you'll be marked with, the numeric value of that thing will be 666. Not that—do you really think that the world knows 666? Somebody would just go and just get tattooed 666 knowing that everybody knows this is the number of the Antichrist? No. It means somebody with the ability to study numbers will decode that this is the Antichrist, it will matter what solution they're trying to bring. Why does it also say it is the number of men? Number six. When Man was created, he was given a responsibility to cater and to take care of the earth. So when this person comes, he will be a great philanthropist, he will be a good teacher. So if you just search for the number, you will miss the numeric value. Y'all are not listening to [Applause] me. Let me tie my hair. Like—is this making sense, right? So notice John the Revelator is saying number six is the number of men, meaning God set a numeric value to a human being. Yes. So as far as God is concerned, number six represents man. I didn't say that, John said that. If you don't like it, burn your Bible.

So within scripture—let me give you an example—let me give you an example. Have you ever seen people casting lots in other cultures, right? Do you know how the disciples chose the disciple that replaced Judas? They cast lots. But if you cast lots right now, what will they call you? They'll say you're doing witchcraft right now. Am I telling you to go and cast lots? Absolutely not. I don't need to cast any, I just need to listen to the Holy Spirit. Are you getting it? But the Bible did not banish the casting of lots. Remember in the New Testament, people filled with the Holy Spirit are casting lots. Why? Why are they—you think they're leaving it to chance? But they were not leaving it to chance. True. Now I can't tell you to go and do that because God has never told me to go and do that. Are you understanding? Nor am I endorsing anybody that does that. But what I'm trying to tell you is that be careful to not just do things blindly, to follow the crowd and demonize things that you have no understanding of. God never said—how could you—remember they wanted to know where to go and preach, they prayed and they would receive a revelation of where they should go. But they wanted to choose a replacement for Judas, they chose to cast lots. True. True. Why is God giving Moses two rocks—Urim and Thummim—to tell him if it's a yes or no, and says give it to Aaron to put it on his breastplate, whenever it vibrates this way or moves this way, he will know if I'm saying yes or no on a matter. God just did his own thing, and Urim and Thummim disappeared, but the high priests were rolling heavy with them two rocks. Aaron was rocking with it. When he wanted to know yes or no, he looked to stones. But here's the difference: those stones were not his idols. Wow. That's good. Are you seeing now? Amen. Am I telling you go and find stones to know God's will? Absolutely not. I'm—I'm just trying to show you your Bible is more complex than you think. Amen. God is condemning stones, saying don't go to your gods who are carved out of wood and stone, they don't hear and they don't answer. But then he's given Aaron and Moses stones: put these two when you are wanting to know a matter, hold them and I will tell you yes or not through the stones. Notice it is not the stones that are telling you, it is God telling. Amen. Now remember, I will say it again: I am not endorsing the using of stones. I don't even know how it works, and I don't care. Why? My ears and my eyes were opened by the Lord when I was six. I don't need any of that stuff. No. And quite frankly, it will actually be—it will be just like—if the Holy Spirit in me, the angel of the Lord with me, is much faster. I don't want to look like it's primitive to me. If God lives in me, he better talk to me from the inside. So I am not endorsing these things because it wasn't given to me. But if you also look through scripture, there was nowhere also it was said don't use them. Now am I telling you to go and use it? Absolutely not. I think we are in the most advantageous position the church has ever been. Amen. The spirit of God is with us, the Lord is with us. If you receive the Lord Jesus, completely submit yourself to his will, he will fill you and he will lead you. You see this is the same kind of—um—kind of semantics that people have an issue with the prophetic. Oh, prophets look like psychics. No. Psychics look like prophets. Amen. Don't get it twisted. You're just not used to prophets yet. You call yourself a prophet, but what you're used to seeing is [Music] psychics. Come on, man. Come on, dog. So you're so used to some suspicious stuff, so when you see the original you say, no, we copied the devil. No. The devil copied us. That's true. That's true. Amen. That's true. That's so true. When you read the—the—the book of Samuel, right? Kings and all that stuff. Saul was going to look for his donkeys. He didn't go to a prophet for prayer. That's true. Amen. Said, oh, I heard there is a seer in this town. Okay, we lost our donkeys. Let's take an offering so he can tell us where the donkeys are. They didn't go to a prophet to know if they are saved. They were a chosen people of God. That is a silly question. Don't come to me if you're a Christian asking about salvation issues. I won't minister to you because you are still a baby. You're not ready to hear from God if you have not fulfilled the primary requirement. Amen. I don't need to tell you go and repent of your sins. You know what you did is wrong, go fix it. If I have to tell you, then you have gone way too far. That God has to, like, yo, tell him to go and fix it, means, yo, you are on the—you are in the bottom of the—like you completely lost all your marbles. H. Are you getting what I'm saying? Yes. Why didn't the Bible say when you go to a prophet you go for prayer? When you go to a prophet, you go—you know—God said if you want to know what is happening, go and consult the prophets. That's right. Don't be like the—the nation—go to my prophets, they will tell you. So you imagine God wants to tell you where your donkeys are. God wants to tell you where your donkeys are. That's good, Papa. That's good. Hallelujah. That's good. That's good. Saul didn't confess his sins, they just wanted to know where their donkeys are, and it was a divine appointment. He got there and God said—Samuel said—you stay the night, tomorrow I'll tell you where your donkeys are. They already found—wait, what? That—you see we have forgotten the prophetic ministry because pastors, evangelists, apostles, teachers took over what was not given to them. So what they could not do—even though all the whole fivefold is prophetic in nature—but there is only the prophetic office. So their limitation, they placed it on you, and they're trying to put it on me, but you can't box me. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean my God cannot do it. Amen. Don't put that on [Applause] me. It's just like astrology. Astrology is not demonic. How did the wise men find Jesus? They were doing study of the stars. The problem is you are worshipping stars. Hallelujah. Amen. Notice the life of the Lord Jesus, what kind of person he was going to be, was in the stars. They looked at the stars and they knew a great man is about to be born. Beautiful. So it means the heavens carry your story too. But remember this: those stars have been there. Come on. Okay. Let me show you. Go where God creates the stars. Go—go to where God creates the stars. Let me show you something. Genesis 1:14-19. God made two great lights, the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. Notice—notice you missed it. Go back again. God made two great lights, the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. Notice he made this—the—the sun and the moon, the two great lights. Okay. And he also made stars. Okay. Keep going. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth—wait, but we already have two great lights—but he's saying he put stars to give light on the earth. You're not understanding what God is telling you. I have never seen somebody walk outside because they are bright stars—you know where you're going—it's deep—they just look beautiful up there, but when you look down it doesn't give you light. So when he's saying to give light upon the Earth—I am the true light that has come into—you are not understanding. It is telling you who are going to lead you, who are going to bring you back to God. It is a language. So notice God is even communicating your story when you look at the stars. We are seeing right now, they actually—most of them have already died. Every time you look at the—the—the—the sky, when you look at space and you look at stars, you're looking at the past, you're not looking at the future. Yeah, because it's your story that's [Music] right. Are you getting it? But it is in your scriptures. Now the month I was born doesn't govern me, right? Because that means I have submitted to the power of the stars. Yes? No. They are simply communicating what Yahweh intended. They don't control me. These things are in your Bible. You see the problem when you start listening to these people who spiritualize everything, yet they spiritualizing actually is showing their carnal. It's true. Because anyone will tell you, no, stars don't say anything, then you're a liar. Because Jesus was known to be born because men of God were studying stars. Wizards and witches were also studying stars, and they all got the same information: the King of Kings is coming into the world. Yes. However you cut [Applause] it, Father. So every number has a meaning. True. It's true. Why? Because God—and I personally—this is my own consensus, right? This is my own—what is the word I'm looking for?—this is like me—my own summary. Okay. In a way, if I should say—I understand why God used numeric values, because the only thing—you see each language has its own alphabet. Okay. True. Each language has its own alphabet, whether your—your—you're Indian, Sri Lankan, uh—uh—from Egypt—you everybody—or—or English or Greek or Hebrew—every language has its own alphabet. And when you are interpreting one word or translating one word or—uh—translating and trans—translation and transliteration—all those things change. But there's one thing that doesn't change: numbers. Numbers and numbers in whatever language, they never changing. It don't matter. You won't have somebody with three children say I have 10 children, because 10 means three, then there's no such confusion. So you can even do sign language with numbers. It doesn't matter where you go. That's true. Hallelujah. Yeah. Numbers just mean numbers. So the most ancient language is what? Numbers. Wow. God is one of the greatest physicists there is, because he understands numbers, because he ordained numbers. When you want to go from here to your house, you calculate the mileage, and the mileage tells you, you know, uh the number of miles, and you also know if I put this many gallons, it translates to these numbers. You're doing numerology every day. It's true. Now I'm using the word numerology loosely, because we already—uh—um—we already know what numerology means. It's the—is literally an occultic sect, but I'm using it loosely. You use numbers all the time to calculate things. True. Every year you know on the fourth month or the sixth month is my birthday, on this date. You're using numbers all the time. But whenever God wants to show forth his wonders, he will give you numbers that you don't have the ability to calculate. That's good. That is good. That is why David is saying that I cannot number all your deeds. I can't number them. When God was speaking to Abraham, Abraham was asking for one child. God said let me show you how many kids I will give you. He said, can you count the stars? Notice—why did God tell him count the stars? Yeah. Yeah. What does the stars represent? That's so good. That's so [Applause] good. It's talking about us. Do you know another name for God? Father of what? Lights. What lights are they referring to? Stars. It's true. And another term for stars—human beings used it to describe angels, not God—human beings, because stars or angels are—are—are mirrored to be closer to God, but actually stars represent men, because men have been given the closest place to God more than even angels. So every time you look up, you see that God loves you so much. You among those stars that Abraham was counting. Ah, that's my daughter, that's my son. Uh, amen. Look at your clapping. I feel like a—notice this. God also told him I will give you descendants as many as what? The sand. Oh, yes. Man was created from the dust. Notice that is a reference from dust—you came, dust you go back, sun dust, the same difference. It's talking about the Earth. So if you see sand, it is also a code name for you. You see how God puts things? Because God cannot limit himself to English. True. Because as generations change, language evolves. Yes. So if language evolves and the meaning of words change, then the message of God also is lost.

But it is right there. Wow! I can keep going; there's so much more. But what I'm trying to show you, what I'm trying to show you, is that numbers have a significance to God.

The problem with believers is, once the devil has done something, you don't claim it back. You like claiming things back from humans; you don't like claiming things back from spirits. So many men of God, every time it is Pride Month, they start preaching, "We are claiming back the rainbow," which is cool; nothing wrong with that. I support that, even though what they have is not really a rainbow, because we know how many colors rainbows are. How many colors does it have? Ahh, how many colors does it have? We are talking about the rainbow God put in the sky. Okay, esta help them. Seven. Seven colors. What does it say? Look, look, uh, uh, Google it: How many colors are there in a rainbow? There are seven colors. Huh. How many colors? Seven. On the seventh day, what did God do? Rest. He rested. When, when he put the rainbow, he said, "I will rest; I will stop beating these people." So every time God sees a rainbow, he remembers his rest. So you, you look at a rainbow to say, "Wow, look how beautiful it is," yet when you see the rainbow, it, it reminds God of the first day, second day…on the seventh day he rested. Say, "Yeah, I created this thing not to be destroyed, so I'm not going to do it." Amen. Thank you, Father. It, it communicates something, but we are so far from God that when you see a rainbow, you say, "Wow, such a beautiful rainbow; I wonder if there's a leprechaun at the end to get some gold." Notice it doesn't even communicate; you're thinking about the end of a rainbow now.

God has patterns in numbers. Before I give you numeric values of numbers, you have to understand that God does things in numbers. Heaven's foundation; you are given the numbers. God even has given you the number of gates in heaven. Why is he taking interest in giving you numbers? There's a reason; nothing with God is by accident. Why did Jesus choose 12 disciples? Why did God choose 12 tribes? What is he doing? Why did God choose 24 elders? Why are there only two cherubims on the ark? Specifically, "I will speak to you between the two cherubims." Why are you being specific about the number? What does the number signify? Why didn't you just say, "Uh, I will speak to you where the angels are"? No, "I will speak to you among the two." Why these two? Why number two? He didn't care to tell us the name; he just cared to tell you the number. "There I am." Why are there 10 commandments, not 20, not 30, not 50? The deuteronomic laws are in the hundreds—600 and what? 636. God gave Moses…Moses wrote 600 and something laws. God just gave 10, and Jesus comes and summarizes it into what? Two. Wow! Why is God playing with numbers? Why is Jesus waiting for Lazarus to be dead for three days before he can raise him, after he has been put in the grave, buried, and is decomposing? Is when Jesus is showing up, and he waited purposely for how many days? On the fourth day is when he showed up. Ah, for three days you're in there; on the fourth day I will show up and raise you up. Wait, what? True. Po…are you…are you getting what I'm saying? Why is he doing that? Because you have to remember there are miracles that Jesus did to fulfill what was written about him. There are things that Jesus said to fulfill prophecy. Hallelujah! And there are things that he did to bless people. Yes, that is why there are so many miracles he did, signs he did, that were not recorded. What was recorded was for our benefit. Why? Because there are hidden meanings. Yes, there are truths hidden. Truths hidden. Truths hidden. The day you are born has a significance to you, and that day carries a numeric value. You have a number attached to the day you are born. You have numbers that describe the day you are born to the hour. Yes, that's true. Your weight, in numbers…everything comes down to numbers, period.

So now God is doing things in 40s, and the people who do this 40 days and 40 nights have the same results. Why is it connected to numbers? Elijah journeyed 40 days into the wilderness without food or water. Moses, 40 days and 40 nights on the mountain. Jesus, 40 days, 40 nights in the wilderness. I'm convinced…uh…um…John did the same thing. It's not written, but I'm convinced. This is not…I'm not saying you believe that; I'm saying I am convinced. Everything is connected to numbers for God to show you he loves you and he cares for you, how much he knows everything about you. He also brings up numbers. He said, "I have…I…I know the number of the hair on your head." Wait, what? What do you feel the need to tell me the number of my…? "I have numbered your days." When you go to the cemetery, there's one thing that stands true: numbers—born, died. Your whole life is measured in numbers. Do you realize…? You know, I saw some Christians…Christians are interesting to me. Listen, let, let, let me give you a disclaimer before I say what I'm saying: You cannot buy a miracle. True. You can't buy anything from God. When we give, it is a sign of love, yes, but also giving can be God testing you. You can't be ignorant of that. There are times God will tell you, like he told…Jesus told the rich man, "Sell your properties and then follow me." It was a test. Are you getting me? Yes. There are times you can give because you love God, and there are times you will give because God demanded to test you. See the problem: When people have never heard from God, they don't know what I'm talking about. True. You have no idea how many times I have cleared my whole account, everything to the dime, and gave everything because God told me to. And you look at each other in the house like crickets. God said…and for a few days you go with water and and whatever you can get, waiting for the promise because he told you to do something. True. If God can come to Abraham and tell him, "Give me your son, your only begotten son," yet he has two children…God said, "Give me your son, your only begotten son, Isaac." No, you have Ishmael too. God is only numbering one because there is a numeric value to Isaac, even though Ishmael was born first. Isaac is still the firstborn because he's the promise. So when you are blessed and then a bigger blessing comes, you are confusing…what you received was not the promise; the big one is actually the first. So you, you measure God's blessing progressively. No! God gives you bang, and you have no room to…are you understanding? So you find…even you find…uh…the apostles coming and Jesus coming and saying, "The seed of Abraham," not seeds, even though Abraham had Isaac, he begot other children—Israel and whatever…the Bible is still speaking of one seed. Do you know who that seed is? Jesus. Why? Because Jesus came before all of them. They were the means of the seed coming, but they were not the seed. Do you get what I'm saying? Why? Because Jesus says in the Book of Revelation, "I am the first and the last." So just because he came later does not change that he is what? First. That is why when the Bible says, "The first shall be last, and the last shall be first," you don't get what he's saying. It's not saying God will kick out those who went before you. God is saying, "No, those who went before you, they were not actually first; you are actually first." Amen. Amen. Notice why is he using numbers still to communicate his will? Yes. Yes. Hallelujah!

I saw an idiot, and I'm going to call them an idiot. No, I'm serious; I'm going to be honest. Saying…saying that if a man of God tells you, "Give 77," or this, this, that, is ultic and demonic; it's numerology. Do you know how many times God told Abraham, "Go and give this and this and this…give two this, three that, or this"? Are you understanding what I'm saying? You know the problem with many of you: You don't like the Bible; you like the idea of a religion called Christianity, but you don't actually love God to take time and study. Has God ever required specific numbers or specific items in giving? Because now it is into semantics. If God can say, "Give me your shoe and your shirt," and then God says years later, he said, "Give me 100," it's the same thing. Are you getting it? It's not the same in terms of what is demanding; it is the same in how it is demanding. Do you know for every kind of sin there was a sin offering, and the sin offering was specific? If you did not give according to the sin…uh…h…sacrifice, for you to be forgiven, your sins could not be forgiven. Absolutely. There was an offering for cleansing that even Jesus, after he opened a blind man's eyes…he said…was it a leper or a blind…? I think it was a leper. It was a leper. He said, "Go and show yourself to the priests according to the law of Moses." Moses set up a law: If God cleanses you with this, you are supposed to present this. Remember, Jesus was not the beginning of the New Testament; it is Acts that is actually the beginning of the New Testament after Jesus dies and resurrects, because Jesus completely lived under the Old Testament. That is good. Are you getting what I'm saying? It is actually ridiculous to me because it just shows like, "Hey, no wonder God never graced some of you with a gift," because if this…imagine…because the gifts of God are without repentance, and sometimes…actually many times…we grow into the gift, meaning a gift can manifest before our maturity. And if a gift manifests before maturity, you can set stipulations that actually are not true, but because your gift is functioning, you think God is actually pleased, but that's actually not true. "Go and show yourself to the priest according to the law of Moses; if you are cleansed…" There was a cleansing offering. When the sins of the nation were supposed to be atoned for, there was a number of cows that were brought, a kind of cow that was brought…specific. They are all numbers. It's there. True. But when you are…when you picked up the Bible yesterday and you became a prophet two years, three years ago, you make mistakes like this. Do you understand what I'm saying? No, it's the truth. I don't claim to know everything, but what I don't know, I will say I don't know. I wouldn't act like I know. I'm not God; I can't know everything. Are you getting what I'm saying? So…so I'll give you an example. I'll give you a close example to me…close example to me…my little brother…CH…is there…one of my brothers had a struggle…serious struggle…and the…and Mom and Dad were praying for him…praying for him…praying for him…praying for him. He wasn't working. Char…am I lying? If I'm lying, you can say I'm lying. Is he there? You do you have a mic? Oh, okay. Okay, maybe the…the AKA Apostle Jean2 can…it's true. Do you know what? I had a solution for them, but I didn't know that they would believe. I went…I told Mom and Dad, I was like, you know…I said, "Mom and Dad, do you trust me?" Said, "We trust you." "Do you believe I hear from God?" Said, "We do." The Lord said, "Grab this offering, go on the altar, place it there, and pray. Yeah, you come and thank me and say thank…thank the Lord for what you used your servant to do." Amen. They went and did it. Listen, within days…listen, within days…yeah, it's true. He didn't even know what was done on behalf of him. Within days, whatever he was struggling with kicked it; the man started fasting. How long did they fast? Was it 21 days? 21. 21. He wasn't even really coming to church; all of a sudden, 21-day fasting, seeking the Lord…within a number of…married…business…this is just like…wait, wait, what? Mom just looked at me and said, "Dang." True. You see, there are mysteries. But if you…everything is witchcraft…everything is witchcraft…everything is witchcraft…everything is witchcraft. I realized quickly like, "Hey…" There was a man that came to service…I think Prophet Ron is the one who…uh…told him to come…and…the man comes…"Mama Cathy, are you there?" And the guy…uh…had a court case and…and he messed up; his own attorney was like, "Yo, this thing is going really bad; uh…we are not coming out of this one." But Ron told him, "Hey, I want you to go…come to church on Thursday…and…they know…you don't tell me who you are coming with; if you invited somebody, don't tell me, because the moment I minister prophetically, I want them to be convicted that God spoke to them. I don't want them to think you shared something with me. So when guests are coming, if I know you brought a guest, I won't minister to them. That is my rule. And if you notice, I don't prophesy to the same people; I can't…that means my gift is fake. I only prophesy to people I have never ministered to." He came, and I picked him out. Say, "Lift your hands." "You're in court." Yes, it's true. Ah, ah, the honest truth. I gave him the year…the woman that tricked him and got himself in all this mess…I told him…and I told him the truth is, "You are guilty." Yeah, I can't lie and say, "Ah, God…" No. I told him, "My guy, you are guilty; the Lord said your hands are dirty." The guy sweating bullets…he said, "But the Lord said I should wash my hands." He told me, "If I put my hands in the anointing oil, your hands will be cleansed." I put my hand in the oil. Remember? His hands just began to…oil started filling his hands, and the Lord told me, "Tell him to take a seed with number 12 and give it and go." Told him, "I don't know…you find something with number 12…whatever that is, but make sure it's…" That's what the Lord has told me. He gave…whatever he gave…the next day the jury bumped heads; the day after they found him not guilty. Do you know how many jurors were in there? 12. I didn't know…as…did it make sense to him? There, Father…there are some of you…I'll minister prophetically to you, and if I know there is a sacrifice required, I myself will do it on your behalf without you even knowing. How many times…? Remember, there was a man that came, and he came with…with the…with…with his brother…"We've been fasting, seeking the Lord." I said, "You…you're a bad father." He looked at me strange. I said, "Do you remember this woman's name?" Said, "I don't remember." His own brother hit him. He said, "Yes, that is the wife he left." I said, "You left her with three kids? You curse…right now I can't even pray for you; you are bad. God is not happy with you; you need to…to…to send something to her now to quench her heart so that God can open you up." And I took money from my own pocket and I told him, "Go and send Western Union now. I can't pray for you unless I do this because you offended her. This is…God cannot…" You know, there are sins against men, and there are sins against God. Yes, you can sin against a man. I've done that tremendously…tremendously…for people who couldn't do it; I would give them…to go and do it because I know the importance of it. Too many times…so what I'm trying to explain to you is this: Why would God demand certain numbers at times? Because if numbers are tied to a language, then the number is communicating something; it has reinforced whatever the prayer was. That is the significance of a sacrifice. Amen. Yeah, it's beautiful. Everything that God does is tied to numbers. Let me give you an example. Do you know why the Lord Jesus had to die at age 33? There is a reason why. Didn't he die at 50? Why didn't he die at 12? Why 33? What is the meaning of 33? Why is that age the time that he's supposed to go? Because the first covenant that God ever made with the Earth…with a human being on the Earth…was with a man called Noah. Do you know how many promises he made him? 33. So when Jesus comes, he's fulfilling the promise God gave to Noah. So the…you have to understand…everything with God is calculated. That's why we say that God has pre-ordained everything. Everything is numbered; it is significant. Now, this is something easy if you know scripture. Go see how many promises God made to Noah; all of them are fulfilled in Jesus. And if you know the names of the first patriarchs, it's actually a prophecy of the Lord Jesus himself. The last prophetic school, I showed it to you; it tells you even his name, how he will come, preaching and dying, and his death will give salvation to many. And that was the 33rd promise, and Jesus comes, dies at the same time, and his death gave salvation to what? All of us. So you, you, you have to understand…everything that God puts a numeric value to it, there is a reason. It…now, are there people who have misused numbers to take advantage of people? Many people. 100%. Give $24, plus…24-hour miracle happens…happens all the time…happens all the time. There are so many people that have taken advantage of people…so many people…countless people. But there are also people who did it genuinely. Remember, it is never about what you're giving; it is the heart in which you're giving it from. You see, whenever you are challenged to give…whenever it proceeds from the heart of God and it is a sacrifice, it shows your level of commitment. That is the significance of a sacrifice; it shows your level of commitment and your trust to God. Now, there are people who give vainly because they just want a breakthrough. That's true. Yet the breakthrough won't come because of the money; it comes because of the heart you have honored God with. That is the difference. Amen. Many of you don't understand…the one who is making you demonize giving is actually Satan, because Satan is a taker, not a giver. He has never given anybody anything. True. And he knows the significance of giving; he knows it. He knows what happens when you give. He's a cherubim—guardians of the presence of God—where…when you…when an offering is given, it goes to where the cherubims are on the Ark of the Covenant, on the Mercy Seat. That's where blood would be spilled for the atonement of people's sins. Cherubims understand sacrifice, so he knows…when you understand the significance of being sacrificial, he knows it brings you to his presence. When you sacrifice your life, you sacrifice your belongings…when you sacrifice your time…any form of sacrifice brings you to the presence of God. He knows that. So his…his way is to make you somebody that is self-consumed. You don't give your time; you don't give your wealth; you don't give this; you don't…you don't do any of those things, so it keeps you away from God. That is why the church struggles with giving. You don't see people in the Old Testament fighting about giving. People in the Old Testament are not struggling about giving. Nobody in the Old Testament is saying, "I don't need to put blood on my door for God to protect me; God just wants to protect me; he's going to protect me." Okay, don't put it; the angel of death will come and kill you. You see, we…we…that's the mindset they use. Yeah, that if God wants to bless me, he's just going to bless me; I don't need to do anything. Huh? Is that how salvation came? It was free for you, but it cost somebody…the Bible we hold today…a lot of blood was shed for us to have this Bible in our hands. The freedoms we enjoy in our countries come by people dying. There is no freedom without death; somebody has to sacrifice something…their life or something…that's the way of the spirit. When you exalt prayer, fasting, and you undermine giving, then you are actually disobedient to Christ. When you read Matthew chapter 6…when you read Matthew chapter 6…the disciples come to ask Jesus how to pray…"Can you go there? Teach us how to pray like the Disciples of John." Matthew chapter 6…let me shock you; let me show you. Are you there? Yes. Okay, read it for me, Matthew chapter 6. "Take heed that you do not your alms before men to be seen of them; otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven." They ask him, "Teach us how to pray." The first thing he's teaching them is how to give. Amen. Yeah. They come to the Lord to teach them how to pray like the Disciples of John; the first thing is Jesus begins to teach them…yeah…how to give. Look at how significant giving is in Scripture. That the Bible tells you…before you give, go fix whatever you have with your brother and sister before you put anything on God's altar. Yes. They put giving high honor because salvation did not come because of prayer; it came because of giving. Amen. Amen. You all are missing it, man. No prayer brought salvation; sacrifice did. True. Yes. So now they're asking Jesus to learn how to pray; Jesus is teaching them how to give. Please read on. "Therefore, when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets that they may have glory of men; verily I say unto you, they have their reward." But when thou doest thine alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth, that thine alms may be in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly. Notice Jesus is teaching them their heart posture of giving before prayer. Yes. Because giving must precede prayer. Yes, it's true. That is so…yes, that's the biblical way. Nobody went to the house of the Lord empty-handed; it was never like that. It is in today's church; people want to go empty-handed and take from God. That's true. Absolutely true. It didn't say, "If you give…" If I tell you to give…if my spirit tells you to give…it says, "When…" So it's not a matter of if; when it's time, you will give, not if…maybe…no…when you give…then…keep going. "And when thou prayest…" Uh-huh. It starts by giving and then praying. Yeah. Everybody was giving in the temple. Oh, yes. And they wanted to…everybody was giving in the temple. Yes. People are giving all manner of amounts…then a widow came and gave how many? How many? Two mites. That's all she had. Jesus stopped the giving ceremony and said, "This woman has given more than all of you." Yes. Why did it move Jesus? It wasn't only the attitude of giving; it is also what she gave. Yes. Number two is the number of unity, yes, of two coming together. That's what giving is supposed to do—supposed to bring God to you. Number two is also the number of marriage—"Two shall become what? One." So 1+1 to God is not two. That's God's math—infinity plus infinity is what? Infinity. Are you getting what I'm saying? I want you to go and give quickly, and when we come back, I'm going to give you the meaning of numbers. I'll give you a few…maybe up to…biblical meaning of numbers, and then I will also give you a little insight of interpreting numbers. There are some of you…you walk around…you see 111, 222, 444…what does it mean? Why is it that your attention is being caught to them? There's a reason. Amen. Remember also, prophetic school is coming August 19th to 21st. August 19th to the 21st. You do not want to miss it. Go and register. Prophetic codes…the dreaming prophet, part two. So go quickly and give, and then we'll be back.

May the Lord remember you always. Amen. So I'm only going to give you a few numbers. I've written them down because I taught this a while ago, but I wanted to…cerate this teaching…with…with the dispute of numbers…so that you can be liberated in your mind…our answers only comes from God; it only comes from the Holy Spirit. So you don't need…I want to show you something in scripture, but I don't want to mess with you. Are you ready? Yes. I want you to go to the Book of Genesis, from number five…Genesis chapter 44, from verse number five. Are you ready? Okay. Can you read it? Genesis 44, from verse 5? Yeah, verse 5. Mhm. "Is not this it in which my Lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? Ye have done evil in so doing." Wait, what? Wait, wait, what? Okay, you know what? Start from verse one. I want you to get the context. Genesis 44, verse one. "And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, 'Fill the men's sacks with food as much as they can carry, and put every man's money in his sack's mouth, and put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's mouth of the youngest, and his corn money.' And he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken. As soon as the morning was light, the men were sent away, they and their asses. And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, 'Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good? Is not this it in which my Lord drinketh, and whereby indeed he divineth? Yet ye have done evil in so doing.'" Did you hear that? Yeah. They said, "Why have you taken the cup of our Master, which he uses not only to drink but to do what? To divine?" So what kind of divination was Joseph doing? Oh, come on; we'll talk about it another time. I just wanted to show you that what you think you know, you don't know. Yeah. Okay, let's go back. Let's go one time. I'll teach you about it; I'll teach you about divination so that you understand…you understand…because there's a reason why God says, "Don't go after those who practice divination," but what does he really mean? Because Joseph is here having a cup that he also does what…? We'll talk about it. The spiritual things are not black and white. To be continued. Let me just mess with you for a second. Okay. Joseph came to save the 12, right? The 12 tribes. Okay. What does a cup represent, and why is Jesus coming to save the world? He's also giving them a cup. We'll talk another time. God always uses signs, symbols, and numbers. I'm just trying to show you patterns. Jesus is referring to…to…suffering as what? A cup. So whenever a cup is seen, it is speaking of suffering, but we'll discuss this another time. It's much more complex. I'm just trying to show you that what you think…it's not what you think. Stop listening to babies who are lying to you. Love them; they're men and women of God, but don't listen to people who don't…you see…I never chose to serve God; he called…do you know what a calling is? Yes. A calling means…yes…you have no choice; yes, you are wired; you are compelled to do it anyway. It's true. That is what a calling is. Thank you, Father. That's what a calling is; it's not just motivation. A calling…the weight of a calling…see, the Bible says, "Many are called, few are chosen." People don't understand what that means. People think there is a battle between the called and the chosen. This is a complete butchering of scripture because Jesus said, "You did not choose me; I chose you." Yes. He said, "I called you unto myself." So we are also called. Yes. So what is the difference between those who are chosen and those who are called? Those who are called are invited into salvation; those who are chosen are sent to bring them into salvation. That's true. That'

Know the occult and demonic realm. You can't put a demon into somebody; it doesn't work like that. You can't just take a demon and put it in somebody; it doesn't work like that. If it were so, witches and wizards would be putting demons in everybody. It doesn't work like that. Paul is saying I can go to a temple, eat foods dedicated to other gods, and he would do nothing to me. Eating foods from other gods doesn't necessarily put a demon inside of you. Do you get what I'm saying? No, it doesn't just work like that. Just because you sin doesn't mean a demon possessed you. You may be influenced by a demon, but it doesn't mean a demon is inside of you.

I've met people in the world that don't have a demon. This is true. They need salvation; they need to give their life to Christ; they need the Holy Spirit. But not everybody, because the covenant of God on people's lives is not the same across the board. True. Judas was a thief the whole time; no demon possessed him until Jesus said, "Possess him." The Bible tells you he was stealing. How do you steal money from Jesus and there's no demon in you, according to their theology? Samson was attacking everything that was moving; he never had a demon. Mary, in the gospels—the Bible says Jesus cast out how many demons out of Mary? Of Rehab the prostitute? None. There's no testimony of any demon coming out of Rehab the prostitute. None. And God is saying, "Oh, she's righteous to me." Wait, what? Yes. Stop using your doctrine, applying it to everybody; it's crazy. God's ways are not our ways. The moment you think it works like this, you are so far from how it actually works. So far from how it actually works. The moment you think this is how it should be, you are so far, you're so far. It doesn't work like that. God's ways are as high as the sky.

Hold on, let's read what Apostle Daniel Adams just said. What does he say? Some have listened to so many deliverance doctrines they try to have a demon to feel normal. That apostle—that's ABA, that's AB—yeah, everything is a demon. Some people, if they do something wrong, instead of just rectifying their character, they will say it's a demon. It's so true. And this is the problem of getting—you see, most deliverance ministers, their biggest mistake is this: they build their doctrine based on what demons confess. That's true. Let me give you one doctrine I saw somebody teaching, saying that when Jesus rose up, he took the keys of the authority that Adam and Eve lost. Have you ever heard that? That he restored our authority that Adam lost? That is the craziest thing ever. Who told you Adam lost authority? Why does the Bible say that he lost authority? It doesn't say that, because it's not like authority cannot just shift hands. It's—it's—you cannot take my badge as an officer and use it as your badge. Yeah, yeah. These things don't work like that. You can't just—H—H—somebody lays hands on you and a demon enters you. That's crazy; that's actually ridiculous. Show me a verse in the Bible that testifies about that. These are things people have cooked up because a demon lied to them. You cannot show me one scripture that said somebody was laid hands on and a demon possessed him.

Let me make this a little extreme. Do you know who Joseph married? Joseph married a daughter of a priest. He was married to a house of divers, the same house that descended from Moses and killed all the two-year-olds and below. Was the same house that Joseph married into. Wow. Because priestly lineages, they keep them because they know the gift will transfer. That's right. Joseph never had a demon, nor did his children. There were no generational curses. Don't make everybody's story your story. Stop. Amen. Stop. These things don't work like that; they don't. Abraham was also an idol worshipper. Where do you see God casting out demons out of Abraham? And if you know Jewish tradition, they've been casting out demons before Jesus. You know, some people just don't know our Judeo-Christian beliefs, their origin. We don't know Judaism. Some of you need to take a trip to Israel to actually learn where your faith comes from. Christianity is not a western religion; it's a middle eastern religion. This is a middle eastern practice we're doing right now. It's not what you're thinking; it's not what you're thinking at all. So when you listen to people who have no experience about something, you don't see them doing it. I'm not saying they can't teach about it, but take it with a grain of salt. Understand? I get what they're trying to say, but uh, this is not what they do. I would not go to marriage counseling to John the Baptist. He's never been married. Well, first off though, if he talks about baptism, repentance, I will listen; that's his calling. I can't go to John the Baptist to tell me what to do with my marriage. No, I'd rather go to—uh—um—to—to—no, no, no, no, no, no, uhuh. May God forgive you. Actually, at least he was married; at least he was married once. What is it called? H—uh—uh. He said a lot of good stuff actually, it's just the language, but uh, what's it called? Um, I rather go to Uncle Solomon. Yeah, he had too many; he knew different races; he knew how a black woman would be, Asian—he probably—no, I'm joking. But I rather go to somebody who has experience. For they'll say, "I'm drinking some alcohol. God is good." Okay, let's get back into number one. Deuteronomy chapter 6, verse 4. Somebody read that. Deuteronomy 6:4. Mhm. "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God is one Lord." So number one is the number of God. Yes, it is a representation of God himself, by himself, for himself. Are you understanding this? Number two, Genesis 2:23-24. Genesis 2:23: "And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh." Mhm. So notice this, number two is the number of what? Union. Wow. Union of the Lord Jesus and the church. I could give you more scriptures, but it's union of also flesh. Amen. When—when Noah was about to get on the ark, what did God say? Bring every animal to by two, because 1 + 1 to God is what? One. It's not two. Is this making sense? Number three. Number three is the number of God's divinity, our Triune God. If you open your Bible, Genesis chapter 1, from verse one, it already gives you the picture of how God is. Now a lot of people like to play with semantics. I—I—it's just foolish to me. Okay, okay. And this is what Muslims also use. They'll say the word Trinity is not in the Bible. Okay, I agree. Okay. Show me also where Jesus said, "I am God, worship me." He doesn't say it explicitly like that. That's what Muslims say. Show me where Jesus says, "I am God, worship me." Now the Lord Jesus says the same exact things that you may honor the Son as you honor the Father. So if I'm giving you the same thing I'm giving to the Father, then I am equal to the Father. Give God what is God's and give Caesar what is Caesar's. But if Jesus is saying, "Give me what you give to God," he's saying he's equal to God. So people get caught up with nonsense semantics, but God is a Triune God. Amen. The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. One God. God, three persons. One God, three persons. Doesn't matter how you slice it; it's not one person appearing three times. It's one God, three persons. If you read Genesis chapter 1, it tells you, "In the beginning, God…" Remember, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, the Father is God. Yes. So whenever the Bible says, "In the beginning, God," is talking about everybody. That is why you find uh David saying, "And the Lord said to my Lord, 'Oh Lord, may your throne remain forever.'" So who is Lord to who? And we know that the Father is talking about the Son, but he's calling him God, and the Son is also calling the Father the only God. Are you getting it? Yes. So if you read Genesis 1, it tells you, "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the Earth." Then he says the spirit was hovering over the water, and God said, "Let there be light." So which one? Because if you read John, it tells you, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God," and it tells you nothing was created except by the word. So the one who spoke was not the same identity of the first one. "In the beginning, God…" Do you understand? So number three is the number of divinity. That is why when even the Lord Jesus was buried, he rose up on the third day, because you can't kill God. You get it? Number three is a number of divinity. Amen. Amen. Number four, Genesis 1:14-19. It talks about the completion of the material and spiritual world when God finished creating. Number four is the number of creation. When Jesus raised Lazarus on the fourth day, he was showing that he's master of creation. That when you have nothing and no ability to do anything, when he shows up, it's the fourth day again. That's deep. That's deep. Mhm. Number five, John chapter 1, verse 1-15. John chapter 1:1-15. John 1:15. "John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: For he was before me." Mhm. Now if you keep reading… Did you get to 16? Yes. He goes on to say the num—the—the and the and of his fullness have we all received grace for grace. Number five is the number of what? Grace. Hallelujah. It is the number of goodness and favor of God towards mankind. Father. Yes. So understand that grace came before mercy. Yes. Oh, that's true. You are saved through faith by grace, or you're saved by grace through faith. So grace always proceeds mercy. It's because of grace you can even have mercy. Thank you, Father. Number six, you all know this; this is the number of man. So this doesn't need any explanation. You know that Genesis 1:26-27 says on the sixth day God created man. Okay. Number seven, this one's a good [Music] one. Number seven is the number of completion, because it is also the number of rest, because you cannot rest until you have completed what you're doing. True. So when you read Genesis 2:1, it says, "God rested from all his work which he had created and made on the seventh day." So the seventh day is the number of rest. Why are you resting? Because you have completed. It's the number of completion. Whenever you complete, you rest. Is this making sense? Yes. Number seven is the number of completion. Yes, it's the number of completion. Whenever Jesus showed up, he said, "I am Lord of what? The Sabbath. I am the Lord of rest." Yes. So when the Lord Jesus comes into your life and you begin to experience rest everywhere, you have to know that God has spoken number seven over you. Amen, Father. That's it. Thank you, Father. Are you understanding? God has pronounced rest over you. I use that analogy for you to understand. The Bible says that Solomon had rest from all corners, meaning the Lord of the Sabbath was with him. Amen. Number eight is a beautiful, beautiful number. To number eight, let me give you a scripture. I know I wrote [Music] this. John chapter 12, verse 28. John 12:28. Mhm. "Father, glorify thy name." Then came there a voice from Heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." Mhm. Keep reading. "The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him." Now notice, when the Lord Jesus went on the cross, he—he rose up on what day? On the third day, which is what? Let me see if you know your calendar. Sunday. We go to church on Sunday because it was a doctrine the apostles began because Jesus died on Friday and he rose up on Sunday. How do we know Friday? Because it's the Passover. We all know that period. So he died on Friday, buried on Friday, was in the grave Saturday, on Sunday morning he rose up, the first day of the week. So when the disciples—the Bible says that the disciples gathered together on the Lord's day, on the Lord's day. So they began a tradition that every Sunday they remember the raising of the Lord and they came together to pray. Amen. That's how we have church on Sunday. Amen. Sunday is not a replacement of the Sabbath. Amen. Amen. You get it? Number eight is the number of—of new beginnings, because after the rest, something began. Are you hearing me? Amen. In fact, when they would do their celebration, it was on the eighth day after their celebration was like the biggest day; it was the biggest, biggest, because it was a marking of a new beginning. So number eight is the number of a New Covenant and a new beginning. Is this making sense? Yes. Ah, this is one of my favorite. Number nine. Mm [Music] Okay. Hey, I didn't write this. Hey, Jesus. Okay, you can find it for me. And uh—uh—the Bible says that um it's in the gospels for sure. The Lord Jesus died at what hour? The ninth hour. The ninth hour. The ninth hour is when he gave up his Spirit, which is uh about 3:00 p.m. 3:00 p.m. actually, because the way hours were calculated back in the—is not the way we count time now. At the ninth hour means uh 3:00 p.m. But the number nine is not just the number of birthing. Eight is the number of new beginnings, but the number nine is not just a number of birthing, but it implies a new breed. Wow. It's more profound than just birthing. Yes, because you can also birth and still be in the—you see people in the Old Testament were also just giving birth. Okay. You can give birth outside the Covenant, but this, according to scripture, it is a birthing of a new kind of people that he may be the firstborn. Amen. Amen. From the dead. Now you imagine. Yeah, this—this are—this is Matthew 27, right? It's—this is a different kind of situation. Firstborn from the dead. Wait, what? Yes. Notice, it's a different kind of people that these ones came from death. You can't take them back; death can't do anything to them. So the number nine is not just, "Oh, you're about to birth something." No. What you're about to produce remains from one generation to another generation until the coming. Look at your clapping. So it's not just the number of typical birthing. Amen. Number 10, Exodus chapter 12:3. Exodus 12:3. "Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house." Notice God is telling you numbers of how many lambs to give, and then somebody wants to tell you God doesn't care about what you give. Crazy people. Uh, read it again, please. I got distracted because these people are so annoying sometimes. Exodus 12:3. Mhm. "Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house." John 12:28-29. John 12:28. "Father, glorify thy name." Then came there a voice from Heaven, saying, "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again." "The people therefore that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him." Now Jesus was that lamb. Okay. Wow. Jesus was that lamb. So they selected a lamb on the tenth day. Why? Because the lamb brought order. Are you understanding? He restored things to the way they are supposed to be. Wow. Now you have to remember, on the seventh month, on the tenth day is also the day of atonement. Yes. Yes. Are you—are you getting what I'm saying? Yes. So number 10 is the number of order. H. It's a number of order because the lamb was given to restore the house. Amen. Make sense? Yes. Yes. Okay. I'll leave you to that. Amen. No, no, no, no, no. That's good. That's—so why have I given you 10 basic ones? 10 basic, even though it continues. Yes, it really does to the hundreds. It does. Yeah, it does. Maybe next time when I come, I'll tell you what 111 means, 222, 444. But I'm—I just give you a foundational. Thank you, Father. The reason why I have given you foundational understanding is so that you can understand that you don't need to be afraid of numbers. Yeah. The devil has no ownership of anything. Amen. Are you hearing me? Yes. The devil has no ownership of anything. He has never owned anything; he will never own anything; he will never control anything. Amen. You know, so you need to stop worrying about what Satan is doing and start worrying about what God is doing. Amen. Listen to me. I'm going to leave you with this. Christians, children of God, redeemed by the blood of Jesus… What camera should I look at? This one? This one? Let me look into your eyes. Christians, children of God, those who have been redeemed by the blood of the Lamb, stop looking at the Devil to know what you should not do. Start looking to God so that you know what you need to do and what you shouldn't do. Amen. Stop getting your instructions from the devil. Amen. Why are you focused on what witches and wizards do and you're not focused on what God is saying for you to know what you need to do? You don't please God by looking at what the devil is doing and choosing not to do it. You look at God in order for you to do things out of a pure heart. Amen. You don't assume what pleases God; you have—you have to know what pleases God. You have to know this. Learn intimacy. Look to God. People are so—"Oh, you saw what that person wore? You saw what that person was looking at? Do you see what they were dressed like? Do you see how they are walking? Do you see who—cares? Look to Jesus. Stop looking at [Applause] men. It's crazy; it's crazy. It doesn't make any kind of sense. So because uh—uh—other religion practice exorcism, that means we shouldn't cast out demons? In other traditions, some people also practice healing. Should it mean we should not believe in healing or pray for people to be healed? No. For every original thing, there is always a counterfeit. But you are looking at a counterfeit to know the original, yet you're supposed to experience the original for you to know what a counterfeit is. That's good. I was looking at this—I was watching this video on YouTube, and it was um—um—a social experiment, right, in the public. So they did was they took shoes from Pals and went to a mall and put their shoes from Palis in a mall, and they made it like this sophisticated designer store, and people went in there and paid top dollar for the shoes. Do you know why they paid top dollar for the shoes? Is because they've never worn designer. If you know a designer is—you know craftsmanship. You know if something is cheaply made or not. You don't buy a brand. That is why people who actually know a designer is—you think they're wearing regular shoes? You think they're wearing a regular shirt? But it's actually not. Because many think flashy means expensive. When you know the original, then you can know the fake. People who wear a fake they'll say, "H—you know, this diamonds look real." People who wear diamonds know what a diamond is. Are you getting what I'm saying? Stop looking at the Devil; you won't know what is real. That's why people who focus on what uh Wizards—or what Wizards—witches—people focus on Wizards and witches and this and that and that, they're usually full of superstition, never having peace to follow after God or to do things that God would require of them. Why? Their mind is so clouded by false doctrine and information and not the Spirit of God, so there is no sense of peace in navigation. There's a sense of fear to save themsel—yet the Holy Spirit is supposed to keep you in all your ways. The angels of God are supposed to keep you in all your ways. It says the footsteps of the righteous are ordered, so you don't just walk—somebody tells you to walk. So when you are full of the Spirit, you don't look at what other people are doing; you look at [Applause] Jesus. I want you to lift your hands where you are sitting down; you don't need to stand up. I want you to ask the Lord genuinely, truthfully—genuinely, truthfully—I'll say it again, genuinely, truthfully. I want you to ask the Lord to give you understanding, to give you understanding of spiritual things. Lift your voice and speak to the Lord. "Father, give us wisdom and understanding, Lord. Me wisdom. Father, give us wisdom and understanding that we may know the mysteries and the hidden truths that proceed from you. Father, give us understanding. Father, give us understanding that we may know your ways. Father, give us understanding that we may know your ways. Spirit of understanding, in Jesus' mighty name. Jesus' mighty name. Amen. Amen." Remember, don't look for numbers; don't seek for numbers; seek for the Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. So now when you dream—like the Pharaoh had a dream, he saw seven cows that were healthy, and he saw seven cows that were not healthy, and the—the seven cows that were not healthy ate the other seven cows. Notice the numbers were symbolic. There—seven meant seven years of plenty, and then he said seven years of famine. So notice the same number seven, based on the context of the dream, it was complete prosperity and complete dryness. So when you start now dreaming, start looking at how many of this. Amen. You see, I just help you. This is for dreaming. Prophets, don't forget to sign up for prophetic school. I just threw that in there for you to catch some wisdom. But I love you, and I'll see you tomorrow for the next one. God bless you. Some of you cannot dream because you're still an infant spiritually. How many people have dreamed that they are falling? Why are you having the exact same dream? It means it's a language. Father, in the name of Jesus, let me be elevated that the skill of dream interpretation will indeed be in me. For…
