Glory. Glory. Glory. >> Amen. Glory. Glory. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Welcome to the study of God's word at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Let us pray. Father, we thank you for the invitation in the new year to come and sit at the feet of the master to receive the word of God to be nourished to be fed to be strengthened. We acknowledge the mighty teacher, the Holy Ghost. You are our teacher. You are our guide. Teach us the word of God tonight and bind us together with cords of love, of revelation that are not quickly broken. We bind every form of destruction in the name of Jesus Christ that we may pay attention to the word of God and we give you the glory for it in Jesus' name. Amen. >> Amen. >> Praise the Lord. So once again uh welcome to the study of God's word at the feet of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Thank you for this moment that you have joined us having dropped whatever you have dropped so that you can be able to join the study of God's word tonight. Um, make sure you've got your Bible. Make sure you've got your pen. Make sure that um you have your notebook. You It's new year. So, happy new year. Glory to God. >> Compliments in the acceptable year of the Lord. Welcome. If we have not welcomed you, welcome to the acceptable year of the Lord. more about that year on Sundays. So I won't be talking about the year of Jubilee on Thursdays for now. I am continuing with the chapter in the book of tears where we have been allowed to learn so much about souls and that's where we are. I hope you're not bored. I certainly am not bored in what we are learning now. Glory >> and be very careful of rushing to get to the new thing and you leave important things behind. So we are not done yet. There is so much for us especially in this season is the acceptable year of the Lord where the people return to their possession. And part of what God is or has given assignment to us to do is to recover what I call God's artisans. and we're going to recover a lot of them and uh I'll share more about that. Others have already gotten the introduction of who are God's artisans. So what we are teaching and learning on the soul uh goes a long way in the restoration of God's artisans which uh the main target of our assignment for calendar year 2026. So it's quite important that you go again through the teaching on the soul. Don't take it for granted. Um, you will not get it or this kind of resources at least for now. I don't think it's there online. So, it's unique in that sense that God has allowed us um to come on in and read in this book of tears which is recorded in in Psalms 56. Um, and we are reading chapter and subchapters on the soul. what we were taught about the soul. Uh, we have additional light in that God is adding other faculties of the soul that remained hidden but are being unveiled unto us. While we have known that the soul is the seat of the mind, the will, the emotions, we thank God for that teaching. We thank God for that light. We have been made to understand that the soul has got more and additional faculties and therefore we need to understand all of them so that we can take full advantage >> of the soul and so don't take for granted what we are learning. I still encourage you go back, learn. Don't jump around. Go back, learn. You cannot take for granted something that took years to understand. And you think because you had it once or twice, you understand what's been said. And so there is more that you don't understand of what has been said. And therefore, it's important you stay with one thing over and over again until you get it. Because when you get it, it changes your life. So don't rush. There's no need to rush. There's no need to hurry. We are still here. This chapter will be closed and we'll move to the next. But until then we must glean everything that God has invited us to learn concerning the soul. So don't take what we are learning for granted. It's not resource that's readly available. What's readily available at least not along these lines. The last time if you check you won't get it along these lines. So um you must remain grateful and thankful to God. Blessed be the name of the Lord. I want to remind you of 1 Thessalonians 5 23. And it's appropriate that we start there because that becomes the key scripture in the study of the soul and God's intent in the restoration of the soul. And I want to show you something about it. And the very God of peace sanctify you holy. And I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. When Apostle Paul was writing this at this time, it's quite clear that there was something missing. There was something missing which has influenced the prayer that he is prayed. He is praying this prayer because there is a wholeness that needs to be had in spirit, soul and body. The focus is on the soul. What is it that has damaged the soul? What is it that has destroyed the soul? So that his prayer is for the soul to be whole. I want to show you something that is also recorded here in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 which helps us understand part of what had attacked the soul and therefore the soul was not in the state it was supposed to be in. It needed to be whole. So let me remind you a few things quickly. Um, that the soul is the product of the fusion of the breath of life coming into interaction with the dust of the ground which had formed a physical body. And the last time I shared with you the difference between the body and the flesh and that summary it could be 5 10 minutes that's a teaching on its own. If you were to meditate on it you will understand a lot about the flesh >> and what it means the flesh. What is the flesh? The flesh is also a product that came into existence because of sin. And therefore, the flesh represents the being that sticks to us like a shadow which is anti- good, anti-righteousness, anti-holiness. And that being you crucify it. You don't follow its leadings, appetites and desires which are contrary to the will of God. Your body is good. That's why it's the temple of the Holy Ghost. So understand that body when it came in contact with the breath of life that fusion produced a soul which was distinct. Although it looks like the spirit, but it's distinct with its own faculties. >> The Bible says it takes the word of God to separate the soul from the spirit. Which means if you put the soul here and the spirit there, they might look alike. It will take the word of God which we are using now to make the distinction between the two. So the soul when it came into being it became the seat of the mind, the will and the emotions and other things among those it's what is called the glory of God in the soul which is what the Bible calls the revealed as taste. It was well pronounced among the moabites in the day of Jeremiah. It was so well pronounced that he could make example of that glory in the soul called tam recorded as taste. So that glory was part of the hidden wisdom of God in why he brought the soul into existence. It was part of the response to his fornowledge when you could foresee that by making man and giving him the will which is located in the soul, this man might decide opposite the will of God for him. AC designed. Therefore, in that place where the wheel is located, we will also add a faculty, a faculty that houses the arm, the glory of God. And therefore, his decision to cut off from God, although his spirit dies instantly, at least the glory of God will linger for some years. and facilitate his development and survival. Without that glory of God in the soul, man was not going to survive until the Messiah comes. >> Glory. So part of the hidden wisdom which we speak not with words which man speaketh but in words which the Holy Ghost teaches he's teaching us these words and what it is. So if you look at it in the library common library it will not tell you what it is. These are words which the spirit is teaching us so we can understand ourselves >> and therefore understand that after the fall of man which was a very wellcoordinated attack directed against man to take over his inheritance. We understand that when this man was attacked, Lucifer who was leading that together with other beings that were ancient beings and together with other angelic beings and also such beings as death and sin. When they thought now that we have gotten Adam where we wanted him to be, let us now take over his inheritance. They met the manifestation of the wisdom of God. When the glory of God in the soul started to manifest and they realized man is intelligent, they cannot take charge over him although he's in a fallen state. And I shared with you that it was because of that surprise that the soul became a subject of much study. It was studied in indepth research was done on it by Satan and his gang and that research was supported by experiments and I want you to hear the language that I'm using. The the the research was supported by experiment and the greatest exploration of that experiment was to discover how to access the because they realized the came into being as the crown of glory in relation to ruling the earth. When the Bible says God crowned man with glory and honor >> that glory and honor is tam and it was crown that it represented a crown in the soul. So in certain areas that for different people if you were to look at them it will manifest a star. If you hear the star for others it may be like a crown for others it may be like light. Now that is what has been the target to get from me. So the first project is what we call the Kane project. That project led to the great conclusion in the research team. I'm referring to the research team of darkness. Most people they look down or they undermine Satan. He must not be overestimated but also don't underestimate your enemy. He has got a research team. They are the foot soldiers. the the front line team of that research team. That the front line it's what is called familiar spirits. Familiar spirit is part of the research department of the kingdom of darkness where you research about places, people, their words, their desires, their preferences. It is the work of that research team that informs great deceptions which dominate Africa. in the area of ancestral manifestation. Those research teams, they work so hard to gather information, >> not from the time you are born, before you are born. They are able to research even before you get here. And they can alarm the kingdom that there is a being coming. We must stop that being from manifesting >> where certain attacks are initiated even before you are born. And the manifestation of those attacks could be like in the case of Samson where his mother is buried. And the barness was a form of attack because the being that was coming its glory was so intense that the mother that will give birth to that being came under attack. The father was attacked with alcohol which today I'm going to teach you about alcohol today. Today you will have an understanding about alcohol from the scriptures and I believe some of you will be delivered because you you still toy around with it just that people don't know widely but you still toy occasionally after tonight if you go that way with it the your body will react after this knowledge >> either you will or you will see your body will react after this knowledge if you toy with that. But the research team were able to give alarms of a being that comes in the class of Saraf. This being will be called the son man Samson. So the father is given to alcohol and he teaches his wife. And all these attacks are being coordinated from a coven center called Ashdot, the coastal city of the Philistines. So the research teams are able to give alarms and activate the attack teams where a person can be attacked even from young age and you don't even know why you are the subject of this attack. If you were to look at the life of Miriam, the one we know now as Mary, the mother of Jesus, and you check her appearance, you will see that it took the hand of God for this girl to even be born. That's first. Secondly, she what she survived in her mother's womb, three, what she survived the time she was born. It's just that the Bible does not give us those details. But life has taught us that we can infer from even our experiences and things we have witnessed that this is how people go through life. Because the things that are happening to you and me are not new. There's nothing new under the sun. The challenges that you are facing today, somebody faced them before. You just don't know it. That's what the Bible says. Don't think that you are the only one going through affliction. Amen. >> So if you check just the life of Mary the mother of Jesus, you will see the critical stages she had to survive. You see how maybe she was even bullied, made fun of as she became a teenager. How there was so much pressure upon her to be like other boys, other girls to live anyhow to sell that which she was sent to deliver. And sometimes you may even find that she was not the one that was initially selected to give birth to Jesus. You may find that the one who was sent to give birth to Jesus failed in the teenage years and God had to find replacement. >> Sorry. Sorry. There are failures by reason of the attacks that come because of what you are carrying. And that's why I shared with you and say it is dangerous to carry something valuable and you don't know it. You don't understand it. >> I was so happy and I want you to pay attention because I want to recommend something for you. Um, I was happy to to watch a movie and this movie was done in 2017. It's a film. This one I recommend for you in the light of what we're teaching. This movie is an action movie but I think if you watch it it will help enhance your understanding in visual forms of tam okay it it will help you greatly uh it's called dark tower um by that British actor Edris Edris Edris Alba. Yeah. In 2017, Dark Tower. Is it Dark Towers or Dark Tower? Dark Tower. The Dark Tower. Watch that movie. There's a small boy there. That boy, he had very strong tama. In the movie they call it >> shine. >> Shine. And his shine was pure. Man, you watch that, you will think, man, uh, I watched that movie before I taught to you what I'm teaching you. And the fact is, I only watched it last week and it's been there since 2017. But when I watch it, oh man, it confirms what we are learning. The only unfortunate thing is these things are being understood by some of the people maybe in the world. The these teachings that we are learning here can turn into mighty movies >> that are under the supervision of light. But that is a great example. And that boy he carried something that was val even his parents didn't understand it but that very thing he possessed although they call it shine there and they're not far off because in the tam lessons you must learn three things it's taste it shine and it's scent we have not gone into the shine and scent the scent is the aroma which in Jeremiah 48:11 says it was not changed. The the scent is the aroma, the fragrance, the smell that you send out because of what you possess. So I recommend that even for our young people I think for our youth in the light of this we like for them to just get together and sit and learn and then they can take few things out of it. I think it's the is the closest thing I have seen so far to what we are learning to help with your visual understanding. Be that as it may, let me draw your attention to what I'm saying that this soul became a subject of much much study. The research teams in darkness includes what we call familiar spirits. A familiar spirit is an intelligent spirit. A familiar spirit is not a stupid spirit. If you were if you were talking about education levels of the demonic world, you will say familiar spirits are some of the most educated certificated spirits >> that have graduated because they can read, they can record. These are the ones that having studied even the person's features, the height, the voice, the words, THEY ARE able to use those things to manifest a person that looks and sound like the one who passed away. And you can encounter one of those and say I met my grandmother and what she was telling me about. It's only her and me that knows it. According to you, it's only you and her. What you don't know is this intelligent spirits called familiar spirits that have been recording your conversation. Yes. Your grandmother passed away years ago. But the information has been thoroughly recorded and preserved and it's used to deceive. You talk about the intelligence of these things when it comes to deceiving in what we call religious religious deception. religious deception where they leave other deception and they come with religious deception. the one that was unleashed upon that young prophet in first kings 13 who went to Bethl to prophesy there and the old prophet who had biged possessed by one familiar spirit didn't want to see that boy succeed where he failed that territory that old prophet he was sent and the instruction was when he gets there he must not marry every day. The young man when he was sent years later, his instruction is he must not eat there. This old prophet, he got there, he got married, he's settled down. And the woman that he married was one of the false prophets of the gods of that territory. and she swayed his heart away from God. He was never the same. He had the gift. He didn't have the grace. >> Glory. >> And because of that, his gift was manipulated. And familiar spirits started to use him. And he they use him to an extent that he deceived a true inexperienced immature prophet. But he was true. He he was a true man of God. Even the old one, he was a true man of God who had backslidened at that state. At that time, he was not in the right mind. He was under the influence of familiar spirits. So understand those are not small spirits. They are mighty mighty educated beings. >> Glory. Look how they deceived Saul and led to his death. >> He met one of those. When they manifested, they came in the form of someone. They use his voice and Saul could tell this this has to be someone. They said, "Why are you disturbing me?" And they told him, "You will be with me, you and your sons tomorrow. And they destroyed his will to live. Huh? They destroy his will to live. A small injury because he was told yesterday that tomorrow you'll be with me in the battlefield. The following day he suffers an injury. Instead of calling upon the Lord who forgives and heals he says no somewhere I saw him he told me I will be with him so this injury will lead him lead me to him he finds somebody he says oh I'm a better finish me off says no I'm not going to kill the Lord's anointed >> a stranger was passing by he said yeah stranger kill me so I can go to somewhere and The stranger killed him, took his crown and say, "I will go and buy myself a position in David's kingdom." As he was going, Saul is dead. When Saul came out of his spirit, out of his body, the first beings that welcome him to hell, it was those spirits. They said, "Oh, Saul." So Saul when he gets he says, "Where somewhere?" And that spirit said, "It's me." He said, "I'm not talking about you. I'm talking about somewhere my father, the one who anointed me." And that spirit said, "You are a fool. Huh? You are a fool. I got you. I told you you will come with your sons." He says, "So where is my son Jonathan?" Jonathan is over there because of his strong covenant with David. Amen. >> He ended up in Abraham's bus. Saul is in hell even today. >> The book of Chronicles even record it and say Saul died and in brackets, no paraphrase, Saul died and went to hell. Why? It says because he consulted a woman with a familiar spirit. Those familiar spirits have harvested souls in hospitals. When I used to do hospital visits, man, I'll get people healed in words and you will see it will clear the people. Now some of the things I learned during that time was I learned that before you pray for healing you must speak with people who are in hospital particularly and understand their encounters in that environment. >> Now those encounters medically may be classified under hallucinations. Medically they may be called hallucinations. But those are realities of those people. It's not just hallucinations. Those are realities which leads to them dying before their time. Some of them when they are there in pain, they encountering their dead relatives and the relative is telling them come this side. maybe as standing on the other side of the river which in symbolic terms if in the dream you cross that river in reality you will die you you have crossed to the other side. Some of them they go to the greatest extent of giving them food. >> And these are people that in the natural when you take food to the hospital to give them they don't eat. >> Yes. They said they don't have appetite, but in dreams they eating and they enjoying the food. And who are you eating with? I'm eating with my uncles, my aunts, my mother, my father. And we are in a particular place and it's so nice. I want to go there. Oh, they lose the will to live. These are mighty beings of deception that are able to weaken the will of somebody to live. Knowing very well that a man may not die unless he accept it. He has to accept it. You must weaken his will to live. It's not easy to kill people. You have to kill their will to live first. You must make them quit and give up otherwise they will not die. They may live long in suffering but may not die. And you see there lies the secret of recovery. Sometimes is to hold on until help comes. Yes, maybe you're not healed, but you have the will to live. You say, "I will live. I will not die." >> Amen. >> Maybe you're not healed, but you are living. Yes, there is pain and temporarily can be suspended by painkillers, but you have a will to live. I'll live. I'll not die. Why did these spirits go and deceive people showing them the other side so they can give up? Because it's not easy to die. This soul we are talking about David himself could not kill him. Many times he found him in deep sleep. He found him like he could not kill him. David admitted says I cannot kill the Lord's anointed. It's not easy. There was an anointing that surrounded him. Even those who in ignorance said I will not strike twice. They didn't know what they were talking about. That's why David say you don't know what you're talking about. You cannot you cannot kill the lost anointed. There is an oil over him. When you put a spear, it slips around that oil zone. It won't be able to kill him. But when he met familiar spirits, they convince him that he can die. >> And he did die. And a lot have died because of familiar spirits. When they work on you, these familiar spirits, they are very educated. They know your language. They know your appetites. They know even your lingo. They study it. You can be healthy and they can conjure up a mighty dream and in there they show you a form that looks like you in a coffee and and they can conjure up an event and it's a funeral. And if you don't know their operation, you will wake up and say and utter the wrong thing. Amen. And you will not even hear the wise counel of those who know the operation of these things. You said I saw myself. I was even attaining my favor. There's no way I will live. I'm going to die. And people say stop it. Don't speak like that. NO, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND. STOP IT. You are dealing with deceptive spirits. They're trying to convince you. >> Amen. says, "No, it means I'm going to die. It means I'm going to die. It means I'm going to die." And you will if you continue speaking like that because those beings are not stupid. They're intelligent. They're the front line of the research team. I think I took a sidewalk so that you can understand a little bit of the operation of familiar spirits, especially when they manifest in religious terms. They have worked on people and chase them from the right places. It is familiar spirits. That betray people. >> Let me tell you something. They work together with what we call the rulers of the darkness of this world. Those rulers of the darkness of this world can be classified from the jurisdiction of the world. They rule darkness, ignorance. The ignorance that prevail in the world, it's under their rulership. They propagate that darkness and ignorance. Then they've got you have got subrulers. You can divide them into uh territories, families and individuals and clans and tribes. They rule to that level and for them they are ruling according to the darkness. So they reinforce ignorance. They rule through darkness. So everything that will come through and share light they are against it because where there is light they lose their rulership. >> So these things that rule that are called the rulers of darkness they work with familiar spirits. So they are the ones that if for an example you have a sickness or a disease or you've got a problem and that problem is being monitored by a ruler of darkness or ignorance in your life. knowing that this ignorance is what propagates this disease or this problem. If you decide, I'm going there to get help and it's by the Lord, the rulers of darkness will summon familiar spirits and say, "Go and do research about where they going." And we want that environment not to work for them. >> So they don't get help. So do you know what will happen if it's a church where the person is going to get help? They will go there. Familiar spirits working in a network of other familiar spirits. they can get even the image of a pastor there or a pastor's wife or even an asher and they get all that information. Now the information is being sourced from the familiar spirit that is familiar with that pastor. Now some people will say if you are a pastor there's no FAMILIAR SPIRIT. HEY ALL OF US, THERE ARE FAMILIAR spirits assigned to us from when we are young. >> Amen. >> From from when we are born. All of us. Even somewhere there was a familiar spirit. He's a great prophet. >> In the kingdom of light, there are angels assigned to us from young. Remember Jesus said these ones, they are before the father in heaven. these angels of of these children because they they going they give report. So in the kingdom of darkness the counterpart of those angels that come with us from young age it's familiar spirits. So that those familiar spirits they work in a network. So they will say oh give us the information about that pastor his image and height and what what >> okay we want to to chase this person the one who's under us here from that place they can give the dream to this person who's a captive of disease sickness or problem and they will have in the dream they will meet that pastor who is a false image it's a manipulated image by family spirit and the pastor will be saying amber >> hang. Okay. When they wake up they say uh the pastor chased me away from church. They were chased by their own familiar spirits. This operation has worked and deceived many people. That's why I dwelt on it because if familiar spirits start working not for you to get a job and they have told you they are going to hire you or somebody said they are going to help you or do you know what familiar spirits do? They can go they work way together. It's a network. Let's say somebody is going to help you maybe with a job or something. Your own familiar spirits will go and report you to that person's familiar spirits and say there is a person who's going to be helped. If they are helped, if this person our captive is helped, we will lose our authority over him. So you this is the information this is the image this is the characteristics we want you to conjure up a dream let him appear in the dream as if he's chasing the boss with a knife now in the natural they told him you must start work in two weeks time those two weeks that owner that boss is being terrorized at night with your image holding a knife. You think when you wake up he will fire you before he hires you. If you are talking about their operation in destroying relationships same now many people who do not have discernment they just swallow everything. They just follow everything. They do not look diligently and confirm if things are really so. And the result is you chase away those who really need your help. I think that's sufficient. So the conclusion of the study was establishment of one the process the process of accessing the soul remember I was talking about the soul became a subject of much study and I was giving you example of the research teams including familiar spirits that's a sidewalk I took But I'm coming back now. Those research teams of Satan when they were studying the soul they concluded one there is a process. You must get that soul to lose its glory. It's called soul weathering or alteration. You alter it. You change it. And then soul erosion. How you are able to gather the glorious parts of the soul by eroding them from one place to another. The result of some weathering and soul erosion. It's what I call the soul profile revealed to the great prophet Isaiah. He saw the soul profile where he saw certain souls that are like valley. Others were like mountains and hills. Others were crooked not straight. Others were rough. It was after the soul was under attack that it led to the profile of the soul which in Isaiah's assignment concerning the glory of God. He realized that those profile of the soul does not allow the manifestation of the glory of God. And that's why he said when the valleys are lifted up, the hills and mountains are lowered or abased or humbled, when the crooked are straight and the rough are plain, he says all flesh shall see the glory of God. In that revelation, that's when he also released the voice of one preaching in the wilderness which later became John. Now they did not only conclude the effective process of attacking the soul which is soul weathering and soul erosion. They also concluded the effective methods that you must use to access the arm or the glory of God in the soul. The one method was anger. So I've shared with you about anger project came led to the great conclusion of the research team that anger gives place to the devil. Apostle Paul, it's going to take him or it will take years for that revelation to reach the children of light. >> I don't know if you understand this. >> No. >> From the book of Genesis chapter 4, the K project in the research team when they recorded and said this is our secret. We have come to conclusion anger gives us place >> in the soul of human being. They found that out in Genesis chapter 4. Okay. >> That revelation will be given to Apostle Paul. How many years? 4,000 years later he will be allowed to discover that anger gives place to the devil and you will write in the book of Ephesians. Don't underestimate what we're teaching you because in the teaching of God's word sometimes you may look down upon people because oh these are people they are living in your midst but they are sharing great mysteries >> which for ages were hidden from men. So, Apostle Paul in his day when he's writing, "Be angry and sin not. Neither give place to the devil." Okay? Let not the sun go down upon your wrath. Neither give place to the devil. when he's writing though people listening to him at that time there are others they thinking oh well anger but they don't know that that man is uttering something that was hidden for 4,000 years you didn't hear when he wrote that when he said that to the Ephesians the people unto whom the exposure of the hierarchy of the kingdom of darkness was revealed or exposed. He also exposed an ancient secret which was only known by the kingdom of darkness that anger gives place to the devil. So some took it light. Oh, Apostle Paul is talking about anger. You can hear mysteries and not hear them. This was hidden for ages, but is now revealed by the apostles and prophets. This was hidden for ages, but it's now brought to light. >> I'm sure in his day there were people who probably looked down upon what was said. In fact, Uticus was sleeping when Apostle Paul was speaking to the people of Ephesus. Which means when when he touched the the subject in that long speech, it was a long teaching. When he touched the subject of anger, Uticus was sleeping. Why is Utica sleeping? He's thinking Apostle Paul is telling us what we know. He doesn't know that what Apostle Paul is saying was hidden for thousand years. >> Glory. And whoever had it and really paid attention to it unto them that power of anger was broken. >> Amen. >> Glory. >> Glory. So the methods that were found to be effective in accessing the soul was anger. The second one which I shared the last time when we were sharing on Thursday, it was alcohol. Now tonight I'm going to stay on alcohol. The third one I said immorality. The immorality one. We then went, we visited, you know, Proverbs chapter 5 and we learned how immorality either class as fornication or adultery. Fornication involving single persons and then uh adultery involving married people or persons. We have seen how the people's honor, years, labor, strength, and wealth is exchanged. Now, tonight I want to focus on alcohol. >> Glory. These three things, anger, immorality and alcohol, they are deadly triplets which in the research have been found effective methods to destroy the ar >> the glory of God in the soul. If you can find all three of them in one person, you will find that their has been rendered useless and ineffective. If you can find an angry immoral drunkard, did you hear what I said? >> Angry. >> An angry immoral drunkard. The dam is next to nothing. >> So let me talk about alcohol and show you a few scriptures. Listen, if you don't drink, this teaching will keep you where you are, but it will also equip you to help somebody. If you drink this teaching will either deliver you or you will rebel against it. You will be worse after this light. >> But you cannot remain the same after hearing about alcohol. Alcohol is medically medically now I'm talking things that are medically verified is medically confirmed to attack the limbic system of the brain. Limbic L I L B I C. The lic system of the brain which houses the emotional structure, the memory structure and the motivation structure. Therefore, the people who drink alcohol, they forget what happened when they were drunk because the memory part of the brain is attacked by alcohol. >> Amen. Number two, they are not emotionally stable because the emotional well-being of that part of their brain that governs how they show their emotions, how they manage their emotions, that part comes under attack. This is just the summary. You know the motivation part is that part that makes you make sound judgment that you are in danger. You must run. You must survive. >> Yes. >> That part of the brain that makes you make decision to survive. When a person is drunk or alcohol attacks that part. So that's why when people are drunk they can sleep on the road. >> People who are drunk they can tell people that can beat them very well or you are nothing boy. They don't have that part that makes them to say this is dangerous for my life. Let me go. It's not there. Glory. >> They can drive the speed which when they are sober they know this is dangerous. >> Amen. >> Are you listening to me? >> I'm going to GO AND TOUCH WHY alcohol is called spirits and where is the link? Why is alcohol called spirits? And then we go to the Bible and see people that were destroyed by alcohol. So alcohol was well designed to attack the tam. If you combine alcohol with immorality and anger, you have the deadly triplets that are unleashed against the glory of God in the soul. And so far, I have never met an angry, immoral, drunkard that is a blessing to any community. That's true. Amen. When anger goes up, the arm goes down. When immorality goes up, the arm goes down. When alcohol goes up, the arm goes down. You are fortunate if one person only has one. You know there are some people who are immoral, but they are not angry. And then there are others who are immoral and angry at the same time. >> I hope you'll still like me after this. >> Glory, glory, >> glory, glory, glory. >> Can you look at uh Proverbs 31? I want to build something. Are you in Proverbs 31? Look at verse 4. >> Amen. It is not for kings. Oh Lu, there was a king called Lmua. This king, he had a mother. The mother loved him so much. But the king had a weakness of alcohol but his was very strong. So maybe let's read from verse one so you can hear this about this young man. The words of King Lenuel. The prophecy that his mother taught him. His mother spent time teaching him. What? My son. She's asking him what, my son? What? The son of my womb. And what? The son of my B. She's so surprised. SHE'S WATCHING HIM. WHAT? WHAT? WHAT? She is shocked that her son Lamuel is descending to the things that will destroy his which is required to rule on the throne. that throne of David that teaching one will hear more on Sundays not on Thursday. Give not your strength unto women. So she observed first of all he was giving his strength to the women and and then then the strength here is it was not to woman it's to to we men among them including those in proverbs chapter 5 that were harvesting the strength giving it to others wealth to strangers houses, labors to strangers. He says, "Nor your ways to that which destroys kings." He he seemed to be fascinated with things that destroy kings. He easily accepted them into his life. That's why HIS MOTHER SAID, "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" THREE types each what one is concerning women the other is concerning drink I hope you're with me totally don't give your way to that which destroys kings is not for kings oh le it is not for kings to drink wine Now for prince is strong drinking. He's telling him to occupy THE THRONE TO BE a king. THERE IS A TAM THAT YOU POSSESS. There is a glory you possess which you command from the throne and you decree things and there are things that destroy kings and there are things that build you up. The reason his mother is saying what what my son the son of my womb is because she's seeing that all those things that destroy kings, he's entertaining all of them. The things that destroy the of kings, he's entertaining all of them. OKAY? They drink and what? Forget the law. They drink and do what? >> AND FORGET THE LAW. WHY? BECAUSE alcohol destroys the memory part of the brain. >> DID YOU HEAR? IT ATTACKS the memory part of the brain. >>

An alcoholic who was brilliant in school will forget to solve for X, which you used to solve in 5 minutes. You haven't seen the grades drop as one starts to drink.

The Christians who drink, they don't know Bible verses. If you say, "Let's open to the book of David chapter 5," they will go to the Bible looking for the book of David. If I say, "Thomas chapter 10," they'll say, "Where is it, my friend?" And the friend will say, "It's next to Revelation." They forget. Alcohol makes people forget their commitments because it attacks the memory part of the limbic system. It's documented. You can go and check it. Here the Bible is confirming it. Where is it? They drink and do what? And forget the law. So what's the purpose? Why alcohol was designed? Part of it is for people to forget the law, forget God, and forget their commitment. How many men have committed, "I will buy my children clothes. I will pay school fees. We're going to build a house or add a home," and this and this. Come end of the month, they go and drink all that money.

When they are drunk, they forget what they said. Forget what they said. They drink the plates which they they don't have plates in the house. Told the wife, "Uh, we'll buy the plates. We'll buy this. We'll buy this and this and this." The worst, the worst thing is Christians who drink and they don't support the work of God. To get a job, it was prayer. Amen. Or to survive in the job, it was prayer. Every need in the house of God, forget every need. Alcohol. I'm going to show to you that the experimentation with levels of alcohol was a well-coordinated activity by darkness to attack the... You go to communities, you will see a bottle stop. Amen. But you see poverty all around, but a bottle is there, knowing very well if you get more churches in the community, the arm will come out. It will drive out poverty and bring development because tam is the manifestation of the glory of God in the soul, which is required to rule the earth and get the best out of creation. If you take a man or a woman whose arm is intact and you put them in the desert, people will go into that desert because there will be life there. The arm is your advantage. Glory to God. Hallelujah. It's your advantage.

Now, there are people who say, "Well, I do not drink that much. I drink little." Here's the next point. Alcohol, because it attacks the part of the brain that also reasons, the reason part of the brain. Okay. Which gives sound judgment. It is sound judgment that you need not to go further in alcohol. I don't know if you get this. You need sound judgment not to go further in alcohol. But the little you took is attacking that part that you need not to go further. Amen. And that's the reason why all those who go further in alcohol, they started drinking little. That little attached to what they need to cut themselves so they don't go waste. Okay. Lest they drink and forget the law and pervert what the judgment of any of the afflicted. "Give strong drink unto him that is ready to perish." Ready to do what? To perish. Why? Because alcohol attacks that part of the brain that makes you to know this is dangerous. That is dangerous. So when the drink is strong, you can be sure this one is ready to perish. Why? They will lose all sound judgment and motivation to survive. The thing that makes you have sound judgment of, "I am afraid of this and that and that." Alcohol attacks that. When you are drunk, there are some things you are not afraid of. When you are sober, you are afraid of them. So when a drunk person says, "I'm not afraid of you." Tell them, "I know. I'll find you when you're sober." There is another you that is afraid of me. This one you is not afraid because you cannot make sound judgment as to what is dangerous for you. So he that is ready to perish, give him strong drink. Why? He will perish at anything that is dangerous because he doesn't deem it dangerous. No wonder some have found expression. They say for those who drink, when they enter a tavern or bar, whatever it is, pub, they said they must look around and those who, according to their assessment, they say, "That's an ugly one. That's an ugly woman, ugly man." Wherever they are drinking, when they get to a place where they look to the same person and start saying, "That's the most beautiful thing," they must know they are drunk. That which they, when they entered, said it's dangerous, now they say this is not dangerous. If you see drunk people and what they have witnessed of darkness at night, witchcraft, and they scream and say, "Hey, so and so, I'm not afraid of you." And that which is busy with their own work, say, "I'm not afraid of you." That which knows, "I will find you when you..." In the state you are afraid of me.

"Give strong drink unto him that is ready to what? To perish and wine unto those that be of a heavy heart." The heavy heart is talking bitter of soul. I'm going to show you when alcohol gets all the way to the soul. Take note. "Let him drink and forget his poverty. Let him drink and forget what..." Is poverty? There it is. If a person wants to forget their trouble, they must drink. But there's a problem. They have to drink constantly so that they can forget all the troubles, including the ones that they create when they're drunk. "...and remember his misery no more." So you will hear people say, "I drink because I have so much misery." They don't know. By drinking, they are forgetting things that are important. They are forgetting the dangers. They don't have sound judgment. And therefore, the misery they are trying to avoid, they are multiplying it when they are drunk. Amen. I don't know if you understand this. You are drinking to forget misery, but you are creating more misery, worse than the misery you are running away from. You are drinking to forget poverty, but you are making poverty worse because the money that you need to start getting out of poverty, you are losing it through drinking. Yes. And in the process, you are borrowing more money to become more drunk. So you forget your poverty. So by borrowing, you are becoming poorer and poorer. By the time you are sober, you are poorer than the time you started. So the one who drinks to forget poverty is like a man who's in a hole and he's trying to get out, but he's digging himself deeper. If you are in a hole, stop digging. If you want to come out of a hole, stop digging. Alcohol is digging people deeper and deeper and deeper. This is the right teaching at the right time because it's January, it's the first week, second week. Amen.

Some Christians, they were drinking in December. Now they are broke. They can hear the word. I mean, the trouble they accumulated in two, three weeks is so much they want to hear the preacher. And now they hear the preacher telling them alcohol is the reason you are in trouble. Imagine how insensitive this preacher is. He's talking about alcohol in the first week of January. Why don't you talk about it some other time? The poverty that the person says, "I was running away from," they created more poverty by being drunk. The Bible says, "Open your mouth for the dumb in the course of all such as are appointed to destruction." Now, let's leave that part. Alcohol, as I am preaching, alcohol is losing its strength upon the people. I want to draw your attention quickly first to First Thessalonians chapter 5. You see, we read verse 23. I want to show you something in verse 7. Verse 7. Take note, verse 7. First Thessalonians 5:7, it says, "For they that sleep sleep in the night, and they that be drunken are drunken in the night." Verse 8, "But let us who are of the day be sober." Okay, I want you to pay attention. Apostle Paul is writing to Christians. He is telling them that those that are asleep, they sleep in the night. Those that are drunk are drunken in the night. He says, "But we who are of the day, let us be sober." When you say, "Let us be sober, let us be sober," unless there were elements that were not sober among the Thessalonians. No wonder Apostle Paul said the people of Berea, the Berean Christians, they were more thorough. They hear with an open mind and they search scriptures. He says they were not like those of Thessalonica. Why? In Thessalonica, you had Christians who were drunkards. He is now telling them, "Let us be sober. We are of the day. Let us be sober." Then when he goes to pray the prayer in verse 23, which is our key scripture, the restoration of the soul, where he says, "Behold, he is admitting that some of the Thessalonian Christians, because of drinking and not being sober, their souls were damaged." Alcohol had damaged their... In the great research and the research rooms of the kingdom of darkness, alcohol was found to be effective in helping darkness to access the glory of God in the soul. Alcohol is not a small thing. So let me tell you more about alcohol. Alcohol is produced by, uh, the chemists that produce alcohol are called alchemists. Alchemist, alchemist. These are brains and minds that came under the heavy influence of darkness to start tampering with the processes beyond the natural process of fermentation. These are alchemists. Let me tell you where alcohol comes from. Alcohol is, it comes from sugars, like a sugar. Sugar that fermented. And it's called alcohol. Ethanol. It's beer. It's wine. You know the sugar in the grapes. Amen. It ferments, which is a normal process. It becomes sugar, I mean, beer, wine that has low alcohol content. So this is what they do when it is low in alcohol. They take it through a process called distillation. Distillation is a process of taking a normal low alcohol. You burn it until it gets to a boiling point. Then it gives out vapor. It vaporizes, vapor. That vapor, they catch it and then they cool it or condense it into high-grade alcohol. The vapor that comes out when they are boiling this alcohol liquid, that vapor is called spirits. It's called the spirit of alcohol. The spirit of alcohol is when you, you are boiling alcohol, alcohol that was produced by normal process of fermentation. Mmm. You boil it. The vapor that you collect, it's called spirit. It's called soul. It's called the breath of life. It's called the essence of alcohol. That vapor, when they collect it, they cool it and they produce high-grade alcohol called spirits. The famous names of those high-grade alcohol that are produced from vapor: whiskey, vodka, brandy. You can hear some of the brothers, their saliva is starting to move. You will be delivered today in the name of Jesus. Glory to God. That when they say this, this is vodka. When they say this is brandy, when they say this is whiskey, it's, it's spirit. It comes from the Latin word spiritus, which means breath, soul, air. In the Arabic word for alcohol, it's al-kuhl, which means demon spirit. Did you hear? That strong drink, that strong drink comes from the vapor, the spirit that was caught when they were boiling it in the form of vapor. So those who drink, they're drinking spirits. You can do a research. The natural process, it's called distillation, which is a step above normal natural process of fermentation. So those that drink beer, it's low grade, it's low alcohol. Okay? They have to drink a lot of it to catch the spirit of alcohol. Those who can afford, they go for the demon straight. They want because it's expensive. It has gone through distillation, not just fermentation. Remember, it went further. It will be expensive. Amen. Brandy is more expensive than uh Black Label. And when these people are taking in the spirit, nobody is laughing. Yes. Their facial expression tells you that I'm in bondage. I'm taking something that I'm not enjoying. The face tells you you are not enjoying, but you are taking it, which is a sign of bondage. Why is your face like this? With this face, you must stop what you're doing, but you continue. Now, that thing, that's why it's spiritual and then it's going forward for the soul. Amen.

In the Bible, there are many people who tampered with alcohol. I'll show you some and what they lost. And sometimes people might think, "Well, pastor, why don't you teach us something else?" Hey, I'm teaching what's important. There are Christians who are drinking. Yes. Worse of all, there are more women who are drinking, and people are drinking, and they are still going to church. Amen. Talk to God. Let me show you some that drank, and then I will finish with the case study quickly. You know the story of Noah. Amen. Probably know it. He's the first one to be recorded after the flood. He suffered post-flood traumatic disorder. This is no other rushes. Alcohol will make you make mistakes, even if you probably were known to be good. So don't even go there. That's part of the lesson here. Look at Genesis chapter 9. This is after the flood in Genesis chapter 9, 20 and 21. "And Noah began to be an husbandman, which is like a farmer. And he planted a vineyard. And he drank of the wine and was drunken. He drank until he was drunken. And he was uncovered within his tent." He was what? Uncovered. Why? Because when you are drunk, you lose a sense of sound judgment. The dangers, you no longer consider them. The... is under attack. Why is it because you have lost so many people? You're coming out this other side. It's only you and your wife and your three boys and their three wives. See, there's a reason people drink. And while you may hear me today and say, "Well, I don't drink," you could face a challenge. Instead of doing it this way, you could go the drunkard way. Don't do it. Doesn't matter how difficult it is. Look at what he has done. He has uncovered it. He's uncovered within his tent, which means he has taken off his clothes. How many people when they are drunk, they take off their clothes? Have people like that? There are people like that. And Ham, the father of Canaan, now Ham was not only the father of Canaan, the reason why Canaan will be mentioned here, it means he participated. Ham, who's the son of Noah, the father of Canaan, which means Canaan is the grandchild. He saw the nakedness of his father, which the Bible later on, in the day of Moses, we are told, you must not uncover the nakedness of your father, your mother, your sister, your brother. He saw the nakedness of his father and told his two brethren. Without... Now, I don't have time to tell you what really happened here, but Ham, he did something. You know, the clothes that God made for Adam and Eve when he came to the garden? Those clothes himself made them. Himself made them. Now, if you think about this, uh, the garment of Jesus that people can touch it and be healed. Think about the garment made by himself. Amen. Himself made a garment. That garment that he made and put on Adam and Eve, it was part of their protection. Glory. Glory. The animals that were thrown into chaos as sin entered, they were going to eat them alive. But by putting on those clothes, the animals, when they see Adam and Eve, it's like they're seeing the big animal, the animal that they cannot touch. That was part of the protection. Particularly in the area of animals. In fact, the wearing of animal clothes by kings started that time when Adam put on that clo... when God gave it to him, he was like still a king. Sometimes we miss that that God, although he was not happy, he didn't abandon him. Amen. He still gave him clothes to protect him because he must multiply, fill the earth, and there are dangers everywhere. He has introduced spiritual dangers and natural dangers. How is he going to be saved by the clothes he wears? Because before these clothes, he was saved by the glory he wore. Glory to... The glory that he wore made him very, very dangerous. Now, the Father, Father God, he covered him. Didn't leave him naked. Now, those clothes were powerful. The clothes, they passed on after some time. They found their way into the hand of Enoch, from Enoch to Methuselah, his son, who lived very long and mentored Noah. So when he died, he died when he died, the flood came, the year he died. Methuselah gave those clothes to Noah, which was part of the reason Noah was able to gather animals in the ark. And when he's in the ark, he's not in danger with those animals. Because the same respect they had for Father Adam, they had for him. Do you understand that? So when he came out of the garden, oh, sorry, out of the ark. Oh, when he drank, it will be like when a person is drunk and they're wearing every suit that they don't normally wear, because these clothes, you keep them in a particular area. You know, this is special clothes. Do you understand? I'm telling you exactly what happened. So these clothes are very special. You keep them in a special place. You wear them on a special occasion. They are the clothes of a king anointed by God himself. The Father who came down into the garden and killed an animal. So when Noah was drunk, he went into that secret place. He took the clothes, he put them on, and he was dancing because now, drunk, you know, drunk. So Ham was looking for those clothes. So when Ham found his father is drunk and he's wearing the clothes, he went to call his son Canaan. Said, "Boy, your grandfather is wearing those clothes. Let's go get them." So he went, he uncovered his father. He took off his clothes. That's how he was naked. After he took off the clothes, he went to hide them. That's when he went. After he hid the clothes, he told those two, um, uh, the two brothers, "I found papa drunk and he's naked." But here's the problem. Those clothes, you see, he, he hid them. He went to get a concubine. The concubine gave birth to a man called Nimrod. He loved Nimrod. He gave those clothes to Nimrod. In the same chapter, you have to read the whole chapter. That's why it says when he put on those clothes, he became a mighty hunter. He went hunting after animals because animals are afraid of what he's wearing. He became a mighty hunter on the earth. It's like the clothes gave him power. It says he became a mighty hunter before the Lord because he's using the clothes of the Lord. Glory, glory, glory. Let me leave it there. I won't tell you the link between him and Esau. What happened to Esau? Why Esau was able to sell the birthright? What was he wearing? Where was he coming from? Remember, Esau was also a hunter. But this man, no, he was stripped naked because he was wearing holy clothes when he was drunk because drunkenness takes away some judgment. You don't know what is holy and unholy. I'll come back to this story. When people are drunk and they are playing with holy stuff, I'll say that again. If a person is drunk and they play with holy stuff, that's dangerous. If you want to drink as a Christian, go and drink and leave holy things behind. Don't, don't, don't play with alcohol and you are playing keyboard. Don't play with alcohol and you are playing with the mic. Don't play alcohol and you're playing with the Bible. Yes. Say bye-bye to the Bible and the things of God. And then go on to the world and enjoy yourself. Don't mix the two. Amen. Don't mix the two. But don't mix up. Many have tried. This is what Noah was trying to do. He's drunk. He's putting on his holy clothes. He lost them. When Nadab and Abihu were drunk, they drank, drank, drank down. These are priests. After drinking, they took what the Bible calls strange fire. They are taking it before the Lord. He killed them. Amen. I'll show you a king when he was drunk. He said he wants the holy vessels from Jerusalem and the hand appeared writing in the wall. Men, men, take up. He was drunk. Get it? Amen. And Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon their shoulders and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father, his son, his son, and covered him. The two sons covered him. Glory. And their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. And Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his younger son had done unto him. He did something. Do you see? He knew what he had done until he uncovered him. And he said, "Cursed be Canaan." Look, he's cursing who? The grandchild. Cursed be Canaan. You know this case, it remained upon the Canaanites. They never knew the God of their father. Noah remained under this curse. There are very few Canaanites that stood up and laid hold of the God of Jacob or the God of Noah. At least there is one in the Bible called the Canaanite woman. Yes. The reason Jesus put her through that test, it was to sharpen her. The one who came, the Bible says the Canaanite woman came to Jesus to report concerning her daughter who was vexed of the devil, and he didn't answer her word. He was sharpening her. He wants to see. Oh, that woman passed the test. She broke that curse upon her life and family. Jesus commended her faith. He ignored her. Didn't answer her word. But she went to the disciples. Talk to him. Talk to him. Tell him to help me. Talk to him. Talk to your master. Until he, um, they went to the master and said, "Master, send her away. This woman, send her away. Give her what she wants. She's crying after us." And the Lord Jesus said, "I am not sent but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel." And she could hear those words. I'm not saying to you. The Bible says even if, even though he spoke like that, she came and did what? And bowed down and worshiped him and said, "Lord, help me." Oh, she laid down. She was vulnerable. He said, "Help me." Ah, now he's going to talk to her. He says, "It is not right to take the children's bread and give it to the dogs. You live like dogs." She heard that was sharpened. You know what she said? Instead of saying, "You call me a dog." No, she doesn't focus on that. He says, "Even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from the master's table." Amen. Oh, Jesus turned around. He said, "I didn't know they are Canaanites like this." Woman, he said, "Oh, woman, great is your faith. Your daughter is delivered. She's set free from this moment." That devil left the place, left him. But many of the Canaanites, they remained under the cloud of this curse. And there are people who ask and say, "But why did he curse instead of Ham?" Well, how old is Ham this time? He's at least around 100 years, thereabout. But Canaan was in the forefront of what was happening here. Glory. And Noah is cursing the son, knowing that the father who's old will feel the pain when he sees the effects of the curse on the son. Was it right? No, it was not right. Remember this is coming from drinking alcohol. Yes. You, you, we can't even protect this curse. This curse is unnecessary. Should not even come out of his mouth. From drunkenness to anger, he curses the son, the grandson. Okay, you with me?

On my way to Daniel, I want to pass through another alcohol incident in the Bible. It's Lot. And you have to be careful because the Bible says, "As it was in the days of Noah and Lot, so shall it be in the days of the coming of the Son of Man." One of the things that stood out is drunkenness. We have spoken about the Noah incident here. Lot, he escaped out of Sodom. You know, his wife goes back. He lives with his two daughters. He goes into a small, uh, village or town, you know, and that town was Zorah. It was preserved. It means little. It was little, small, but it had people. It's already preserved. After it was preserved, they scared themselves and say, "Hey, let's go up the mountain." They go into the mountain, and it's just him and his two daughters. Under the influence and under pressure, the pressure that comes upon people sometimes and it suppresses their... unnecessarily. The girls, they start talking to themselves and say, "Well, we have to do something. It's only us and our father." Which was not true. First, you are coming from Zorah. There are people there. To your uncle Abraham is over there. Your uncle Abraham is over there. Where are you? You are in Sodom. How far is Sodom from Beersheba? Talking about not many kilometers. No, this is the solution. We will make our father drunk, and when he's drunk, we sleep with him. And the result is these two, the Ammonites and the Moabites. Now, I want to follow the Moabites for a moment. These two children, they give birth to what we later know as the Ammonites and the Moabites. Now, the Moabites, the Bible tells us in Jeremiah 48:11 that their... you know, they were at ease from youth. Their... was intact. It was not emptied from vessel to vessel. Which means at the time of Jeremiah, that generation had seen the effects of alcohol and made a decision that as Moabites, we will not entertain alcohol. And they saw what he did to their... That's why their youth were unique. It's when people learn from their the sins of their fathers. You can come from an alcohol family, having seen what alcohol has destroyed in your family, in your lineage, and you can change the story. Which I believe that's what happened to the Moabites. That's why Jeremiah says that the arm of the Moabites was something to talk about because it was so intense. Glory to God. In fact, that the arm of the Moabites was so strong that Satan had to kill husbands of the daughters to frustrate the daughters because their... is something extraordinary. That's why Orpah and Ruth, their two husbands, when they left Bethlehem and went there, those spirits killed them. They were killed to frustrate Orpah and Ruth because that's how Moabite girls were frustrated because they made it their point that we'll protect our... we will be known for our town. That's why even in the choice of land, they chose they chose the place where it was easy to hear from God. It was a potter. Their choice of land is, "We want the land here where the Bible says when you are there, you hear the Lord command. You hear the law of God. You hear the voice of God." Number two, they chose a place where they could hide Moses' body. Their... was very strong. When you read the Bible, don't underestimate Moabite people. Moabite people are people that, yes, there may have been some bad elements of people there, but these are people that reflected on the sins of their fathers. They learned and said, "I'm not going to repeat what my father, what my mother did. I'll go this way." Glory to God. And they stood out. And who was the great-grandmother of David? It was Ruth. To do what? To pass the knowledge of the secret of tam for those who will sit in the throne. Amen.

Next time we're going to talk about Job and his... chapter 5. Daniel 5. I'll wrap up with that. Why did you see something? In Daniel chapter 5, we're going to read. Let me show you something here. Glory, glory, glory. Hallelujah. The Bible says, "Belshazzar the king made a great feast." I'm reading verse one, "to a thousand of his lords and drank wine before the thousand." So this is a king. He's drinking wine. Remember we have read the king languished. Stay away from things that destroy kings. One was women. The other one was strong drinking. He's a king. He is drinking. So he drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, whilst he tasted the wine. You know, amazingly, the word used, you see, "whilst he tasted" is the word... It's close to the... It's the... So it's telling you. So he drank. He drank before a thousand people. That's a lot of people drinking. To drink before a thousand people, that's a lot. This is a big party. And then, as he was drinking, the Bible says, "While he tasted the wine." I want you to hear the expression. In verse one, he drank the wine before the thousand. In verse two, he says, "While he tasted the wine." What is this telling you? It's telling you that he was getting to a place where the wine was affecting his tam. That's why the tam for him is called the... It's t-e-m, it's t-a-m. While he tasted, he was changing stages. He got to a level where, as he was bringing his arm has been altered so significantly, he starts to give commands. Now he commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father, actually, the grandfather Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem. His wives and his concubines might drink therein. When his arm is affected, he wants to mingle with the holy things. Drunkards must respect the holy things of God. Drunks must respect the holy things of God. When his arm is changed to the... he gives command. Bring the holy vessels, the gold and the silver vessels. From where? From Jerusalem. Where? In Jerusalem. Out of the temple. Of all the things you can ask for. I... are the inspiration of alcohol, strong drink. You want holy things from Jerusalem? Not just anywhere in Jerusalem, from the temple. Not everywhere in the temple, in the holy place. Not just in the holy place, in the most holy place. You see, his sense of judgment is gone. What? There's a way. This liquid that people are drinking, it's carefully orchestrated from the kingdom of darkness. Just as there is a department in the kingdom of darkness that is poking into the atomic world in order to develop a hydrogen or atomic bomb, nuclear world, to get a nuclear bomb. In the natural, they may call them scientists, but those are people that are under the influence of darkness so that they can poke into all those worlds that have got potential to wipe us all of us in a minute. They will come out and, "Oh, we have done a great discovery." What is what did you discover? How to make a bomb that if you drop it, the whole continent of Africa can be wiped out. Is that a blessing? No. Is that a blessing? So whoever progressed from natural process of fermentation and they went to distillation, if they came out and say, "Man, I came out, I've done a great discovery, how to produce vodka, whiskey, brandy," is that a blessing? Because look at the ones that have taken that stuff. Are they a blessing to their family? Are they a blessing to their community? So this is not from the kingdom of light. It may be part of us, but darkness is behind it. Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem. And the king and his princes and his wives and his concubines drank in them. They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, of stone. After they were drunk, they had the highest level. They started to sing praises. The praises are coming from the next thing is, "Bring the gods of silver. Bring the gods of gold, of wood, of stone, of brass and alloy, of copper and zinc. Bring the gods of wood, of iron." They put all of them there. You see, no sound judgment. They start to worship them after drinking from the holy vessels. They are worshiping the gods. "Oh, God of iron, oh, God of silver and gold, I worship thee. Thou art mighty God." That's what they're doing. Alcohol has resulted in songs that don't glorify God. Glory. I'm at work here. I am at work. There are young people are listening to me. They will be delivered today from future alcohol. And you know, there are other drunkards when they are drunk, they sing praises and worship that's still dealing and handling things that are holy songs. Why are you drunk? And then you are going to pull holy vessels and the holy vessels alone. Glory. Glory to God. Glory. Glory. In the same hour. Somebody say, "In the same hour." In the same hour. This was quick. This thing activated what in the Bible is called watchers. Watchers are mighty beings. Some of them, they may come and live among our midst like normal human beings. That's why you will hear a man's hand. They watch over creation. They are watching. They are divine monitors that are monitoring a lot of things, including disrespect towards God and the things of God. And if, if the Bible says, "In the same hour," it means it was quick. This is quick judgment. This is when people disrespect the things of God when they are drunk and they die the same day. This man, by evening, is going to die. This king, when this party started, he didn't know that he will die in the evening. There are people who have died out of drinking parties because in their drunkenness, they added to their sin by disrespecting God and the things of God. Some of them were even loud enough. Yes. Say, "I don't pray. I don't worship. I don't even fast. You do all these things, but look at you. Look how poor you are. Look how better I am than you." And they didn't see the sunrise. Some of them died. These are serious stuff. Okay. "In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand." This is not God. You think God has time to write on the wall for a drunkard to read? Huh? The God that wrote on a stone and he had to tell Moses, "You have to fast." He's going to descend himself to write on a wall for the drunkard. He doesn't have time for that. This is a watcher. These watchers, these are the ones when they are watching, even the things that represent you in different realms and dimensions, like when they said, "Oh, Nebuchadnezzar, out of pride, cut off that tree." They were watching over that tree and its health. They say, "Cut it." When they cut it, his influence in the world will go down. There are people who are ignorant of the existence of mighty beings. These watchers are very serious and they are quick. "In the same hour." Somebody say, "In the same hour." Which means this thing didn't last. From the time he called for the vessels and they brought it and he drank, in the same hour, he attracted judgment. If you only drink bread and then he asked for the vessel that came from his, his aunt. You see, his aunt maybe loved him, bought him some presents. Now he says, "Bring my aunt's vessel so I can bring from it." There will be no this hand will not come. He will just be part of all the drunkards that are just, you know, they are drunk and they are ignorant of what they don't know. So they are allowed to leave. But when you're drunk and you start to disrespect God, in the same hour, same hour. Same hour. Now, I hope you understand. He added to his sins by what he did towards the holy things of God. "Fingers of a man's hand and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of king's palace." When he brought the vessels, he even brought the candlestick that's coming from the holy place. The candlestick that's on the opposite of the show, the table of showbread in the holy place. He brought it out, and God says, "I will write." You know, the watcher is going to write up just next to that candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace. "And the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another." The intensity of the message, it overrode the presence of Roi. He started to shake. His senses almost came back to him. He can see this is serious. Of course, he asked for people to interpret. He couldn't find anyone. This is what I want you to read in verse 11. "There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of your father light and understanding and wisdom like the wisdom of the gods was found in him." You see, when they said the wisdom of the gods, they are telling you David, I mean, Daniel possessed and protected. So it manifested as very unique, like as the wisdom of the gods. Glory to God. Glory to God. Verse 12. "For as much as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts." This is the manifestation of the tam in the life of Daniel. When he speaks, dreams are interpreted. That was a manifestation of tam. He preserved it for himself, and it's making room for him, and he's going to use it to solve this problem. He will be able to read what the watchers wrote because he knows their language. He can decode their language. His was not defiled, not to know the language of the holy beings of God. The drunkard saw the writing but could not understand what was written.

Let me wrap it up. I still have a little bit more, but I think you people cannot take more. Let me finish with this in Ephesians chapter 5, chapter 5, verse 18. "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the spirit." Here you get to understand the purpose of alcohol is to oppose the activities of the Holy Spirit. Alcohol is the opposite of the Holy Spirit. That vapor, that spirit that they trap and cool it, and people drink it, and they are drinking spirits. They are drinking that which is to work in their life, opposite the activity of the Holy Spirit. What alcohol does to the tam is the opposite of what the Holy Spirit does to the tam. The Holy Spirit, he advances the... he upgrades. He causes it to go further and further to reach its full potential. Alcohol dulls it. And through it, Satan is given access to the soul of a person. If it's a king, he can rule through that king. Blessed be the name of the Lord. Glory. "Be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess, but be filled with the spirit." That's what I want to end up with. And the beautiful thing is here, we are told how to be filled with the spirit. He says, "Speaking to yourselves in psalms, giving thanks, submitting yourselves." So speaking, giving thanks, submitting yourselves. That's how you get filled with the spirit. That's how you fuel your tam. What's the alternative for alcohol? The spirit of God. How do you get filled with the spirit? Speak yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs. Make melodies in your hearts to the Lord. Give thanks to God. Give thanks. You are filled with the spirit. You get filled with the spirit as you speak to yourself, as you give thanks, and as you submit. Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of the Lord. You mean submission is not for those who are not filled with the spirit? If you are filled with the spirit, it's easy to submit. Glory to God. Glory to God. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Let us pray. Father, we thank you that alcohol in all its forms has no authority over the child of God, especially those that raise up their hand and say they want to live for you. And we thank you for it. Thank you, Lord. As I pray for you, I'm going to pray for you that you've been under the influence of alcohol and you find yourself sometimes in dreams still drinking it. You can be free. It's spiritual. Some of you, you crave it. You can be free. You don't want anything to do with it. You can be free as I pray for you in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Father, as I pray for your people and stretch forth my hand that that power of alcohol will be broken over their life, broken over their body and their soul in the name of Jesus. That alcohol will lose its grip and its appeal to them. That the very smell that surrounds them is broken and scattered over them in the name of Jesus, never to rule and influence their decision again. That even in their sleep, even in their dream, they have strength to say no by the power of the Holy Ghost. Set your people free. Especially those that are reaching out because they need help. I don't want to continue that way. I declare to them, your help has come and it comes from the Lord, the Lord Jesus the Christ. So be free, be delivered, be set free in the name of Jesus. And that alcohol that's still in your system in any way, form, or shape, may it come out and come out now in the name of Jesus the Christ. And for those who desire that alcohol will never touch their body, oh God, when it does come in touch with this body, may the body reject it in many ways in Jesus name. I call your people back to the kingdom of God that they may walk and serve you all the rest of the days of their life. And we give you the glory for it in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much for your time. Thank you for joining us. I know this teaching has helped you. It's going to help you tomorrow, and certainly it has positioned you to be able to help somebody who has ears to hear in Jesus name. Thank you so much. God bless you. We'll see you tomorrow morning for prayer between 5 and 5:30 a.m. in the morning, and again on Sunday, where we can get to teach you more about the acceptable year of the Lord. Let's take the grace. Thank you for your time. Surely, surely goodness and mercies shall follow me all the days of my life. And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever and ever. I am covered by the blood of Jesus and by the fire of the Holy Ghost and by the grace of God in Jesus name. Amen and amen. Thank you. Shalom. Shalom. Thank you for your time. God bless you. My heart. No pain. Jesus still the same. He took my heart and made it new. He did what nobody could do. My heart just do the same. He took my heart and made it new. He did what nobody could do. He takes my heart and makes it new. Surrounded with fire. Surrounded with fire. Nobody can touch my heart. No, no, no. Jesus. Jesus. Pouring fire. Pouring fire. Yeah. Oh, God, I need you. Oh, God, I need you. Oh, God, I need you. Oh, God. D my life. I said no to make me a musician. Couldn't even sing your words. Blue master. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. You're the greatest. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. You are Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. You're the greatest. Oh, God. I need you. Oh, God. I need you. Oh, God. I need you. Oh, God. You got to go down. My heart is the work. My life is on fire. My life is on fire for you.
