Strange Dynamics of Faith | “This is how you buy without money”

[Music]

Hello guys, so good to see you all. It's been a long time. My name is Isoni, and I'm so blessed to have you here. Um, and I know you're not here physically, but I know there are amazing people that are watching this stream. I'm joined today by the grace of God by my brother. Go ahead and introduce yourself.

Hey guys, my name is Faith Manga. I'm really blessed to be here. Thank you so much, Isoni, for inviting me. Blessings, blessings. And I'm joined here with my sister as well.

Hi guys, my name is Dian, and thank you again for inviting us to come here today.

Wonderful. So good to have you guys here. I'm in a council of wise people and very anointed men and women of God. So we're so blessed. Let's just pray for the people and pray for this meeting.

Father, we give you thanks this uh day. We thank you, Lord, for your hand. We thank you, Lord, for your grace and your power. We just ask that you give us direction, wisdom, strategy, and understanding. Let there be revelation, and let every ear and every eye that sees or hears this message be impacted and transformed forever. In Jesus' mighty and precious name, amen. Amen. Amen.

I want to talk today on an important topic, and that is the topic of faith. It's so important that we have faith here, but but it, but it's so important because the Bible says without faith, it's impossible to please God. And often times, there are things that we are asking God to do, and the reason why we're asking God to do them is because we're still under the children's bread. Jesus spoke about healing, and he called healing the children's bread. In other words, healing is something something that you ask for. Miracles are things that you ask for when you're still on breast milk. And so the transition that we're trusting will take God's people by the end of this meeting is to take them from miracle to miracle workers. So our audience can be impacted and also learn how to live a supernatural life.

There's something that you've heard me say multiple times, and I'll just say it again for context, that it's not a supernatural life when you have an encounter. It's a supernatural life when you control the supernatural activities which are happening around you. That's a life whereby you live as a God here on Earth. And that's the transition we need to come into, that the little one amongst us will become a thousand, and the small one will become a great nation. In other words, our supernatural potential in God is made manifest and expressed here on Earth. And I want to show people the mystery behind faith. We've heard faith in its simplicity, you know, believe and you'll receive. But there are some principles regarding faith which were lost over a period of time, or at least they haven't been mentioned for a while. And I believe that if I can share them again, our brothers and sisters will be mightily impacted. Sometimes it's not that we never knew, it's just that we never understood. Yeah, knowing and understanding is different. So you know your name, but do you understand the meaning of your name? In other words, you know you're a Christian. We know that, but the understanding of what a Christian is fundamentally, how far do we know what a Christian actually is, and how much of that can we exhibit? So we'll go on a journey there.

Let's take a reading then. And you, you guys are here so that also as well, we can help the audience. If there's any questions or anything as well that you guys feel we can bring an emphasis to, you can help me along the way so that we can really maximize this opportunity to to share this, this uh, this message. Let's look at this. We'll start from Mark 11:21-23.

And Peter, remembering, said to him, Rabbi, look, the fig tree which you cursed has withered away. So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says."

I like this scripture so much. The disciples are seeing Jesus curse a fig tree, and when Jesus curses the fig tree, they're so impressed by that miracle. They're amazed by that miracle because they're wondering, since when did trees have an ear? That's the first part of of fascination there. When did trees have an ear? And also say, well, we we're conscious that we we get a level of oxygen in air from trees, but to the extent that you talk to the tree and it withers away. This was a profound miracle. It hadn't been seen so often. So he says, "Verily I say unto you, whosoever shall say unto this mountain, 'Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea,' and shall not doubt in their heart, they shall have whatsoever they say."

In other words, entry-level faith moves the mountain. At entry level, what Jesus is trying to show them here is that words that you speak, their spirit in their life, and they can also form and they can also put down to the display here, a display of power. Power so much so that a tree that was alive and well withers away. But also as well, there's a lesson in this that we don't only transact with fig trees. The same miracle you're seeing here, if I can quantify my faith, the amount of faith I've used for this miracle is the exact same amount of faith I'll use to move a mountain, and the exact same amount of faith I'll use to to to raise the dead, to cast out devils. So you progressively grow in faith.

The first platform of faith is the exchange of words. And so in that platform of exchange of words, the first thing that happens is as you have an imagination or as you begin to see, you're compelled into speaking. But while you're speaking, that that speech that you're giving, first and foremost, is hope. Okay? It starts off as hope. "I hope I'll be able to get a health one day." "Mmm, I hope I'll be able to graduate with the first class." "I hope that my children will get this sort of a job." Hope. So the first platform is a transaction of words in the form of hope. That then elevates. And when that elevates, you come to this point where the hope is then made a substance, which is presented as evidence before God. And that evidence, so the next stage is evidence. That evidence is then quantified as your faith. Okay? Yeah. So you're asking God for something. The question isn't how much prayer do you have, it's how much evidence do you have. The evidence is the transaction of hope in words, and then that's what you then bring before the throne of God, and you bring it as a petition.

So faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things that are not seen. They're not seen with your eyes, but can you create them with your heart? In this natural realm, they haven't been seen yet, you see. So a lot of people, they get prophetic words, and sometimes there's this frustration whereby you have a prophetic word from the Lord, and it feels as though the prophetic word is taking time to come to pass. The the question is, time? Where is God waiting for your prophetic word to come to? Where God operates in the real eternal. So in God's realm, there's no time. So because there's no time in the realm of God, God's already in the fulfillment. Afterward, what he's waiting for is for you to attain the stature. So that stature is attained by you qualifying yourself for the blessing through process. I can't make you a king yet, you haven't killed a lion or a bear before. That's true. And I can't make you a mighty and notable man in battle because you haven't conquered a Goliath yet. So I have to take you through the refineries process. And one of the things that he does is he investigates motive. Because sometimes, even in the eyes of the man that anointed you, in the eyes of Samuel, you appear to be an innocent soul. But it's only once you get your throne, the wickedness that had been embezzled all along comes out. So God has a process. How do you act? If I put a David where you are, he hasn't come into power yet. How do you feel intimidated? You're the best soprano in your church. God sends another one, and then suddenly when the other soprano comes, that's David, and the soul comes out from me. So now all of a sudden, you're slandering them, you're gossiping about them, you find yourself competing. You always brag about all your victories. In other words, when you're around them, you brag about all the amazing concerts that you sang. It, you see. And for some people, the prophetic confidence and a and confirmation they're looking for, God will never give it to them publicly. Yeah. He gives it to them in secret. Because for some people, that prophecy being said in public is their own public validation. That's true. And God doesn't do that. Soon. Yeah. Yeah. In stages. As God reveals you, the first thing you get is called private assurance. Okay? Private assurance. Then the next stage is called public announcement. Then the third phase is called public validation. And that public validation, or public endorsement rather, God endorses you in the eyes of the public. But the first phase is called private assurance. So God builds your conviction that you heard from him. Mmm. He spoke to you. What he said will come to pass. It's not going to take now. What heaven is doing is along the process of prophecy to manifestation or fulfillment, he's tracing all of your words. How do you talk about the word in the absence of God? And by absence of God, I mean the absence of the prophecy, the absence of of you in prayer. Because when you feel him, you're confident. But when you don't feel him, how do you talk about the promise? This was the issue with the children of Israel. They live on children's bread. They only affirm the prophecy when he's in the tent. The moment they don't feel the way they did before, they doubt everything. So you'll find that because they don't feel God the way they used to feel God, "We're going to starve. We're going to die in this wilderness. There's no food. Oh, we're so bored. Can you, can you make a golden calf for us? Give us something to worship. We're going to, we're going to die of of of dehydration. We need water. Moses, please get water to come from the rock." And Moses getting water to come from that rock is a dangerous thing. The reason why it's a dangerous thing is because it even outlines where a lot of believers are. Moses gets water to come from that rock, and when water comes from that rock, notice the children of Israel were asking for water. They received the water. It came from the, the rock. And even when that water came from the rock, they were pleased. Their prayers had been answered. But God still went on to stop Moses from entering the promised land. The reason why God stopped Moses from entering the promised land was because the way Moses got them to have the water. Yeah. So it was disobedience. That means there's a way that you can get an answer from God, God, but you manipulated the answer, and God's not happy. Yes, there's a way that you can get God to answer a prayer, but nevertheless, how you got the answer to that prayer, the rock was stricken. So baby believers and baby Christians do things like, "God, if you don't do it now, I'm just going to go fornicate." And God, being merciful, he wasn't scared that you'd go fornicate. He just answered because he saw your immaturity and your impatience. But a time will come where God will go and to break that last part of your of rebellion. Because the first time I answered you, then what you done was you struck the rock, you didn't speak to it. So because you struck the rock, I have to address that incompetency. When it comes to priesthood, many incompetent priests. You, yeah, you want to. It just makes me think of when there was a word for it, but I can't remember when the children of Israel were asking Jesus, you know, we can divorce. And Jesus told them, it's only because you know, that time of Jose, um, that time in Moses' generation, God just gave favor, you know, but that's not how it was supposed to be. Jesus said, that's just what it made me think of. That's not how it was supposed to be. When two become one, they stay one. But God said that he allowed the divorce to happen just because of, um, they just, you know, because of God's favor. And what happens sometimes is based on the incompetency of the priesthood. All right? So the inadequacy or the insufficiency. Okay, I don't know how to use any of the word because people say sometimes these big words. Actually, I don't know that makes sense. We know what that means. The insufficiency of priesthood, the lack of care and diligence. Yeah. What God has to do sometimes is he has to then attend to a generation in a way which is incorrect according to his plans. Mmm. He's not going back on his plans, but what he's doing at that moment in time is he's giving them a soul. Yeah, because they're too impatient to wait for David to come to come. Yeah. So while he gives them the soul, there'll be some issues that they'll encounter along the way. Yeah. But he's answering according to their permissive will and according to their ignorance. Okay. So God finds a generation that has been fried by AI and computers, and there's a certain revival that's been appointed by heaven. But because the priests of that generation preached something contrary to the plan of God and God's prophetic agenda, God now has to to create a strategy or implement something which will sustain us until we all come back to alignment. And if we can't come back to alignment, it's enough to make sure people enter heaven, but it's not the intended plan. Intended plan. It's called Christianity on survival. Yeah. Whereby the only plan is salvation and get to heaven. Yeah. Because there are many errors that are taking place. You see, prosperity is not the issue. Materialism is the issue. We don't have an issue with prosperity. We have an issue with materialism because there's no balance. What do you mean by that? So prosperity is you doing well, and God wants to see your, you prosper. Your spirit prospers, your soul prospers. It's in the Bible. But materialism is when you become infatuated by things, and that's not the objective why God's going to bless you. So the objective why God's going to bless you isn't going to be for nice cars and nice houses. God would would not have an issue with you having a nice car. He'd be happy to see you live in a nice house, but that's not what you hear from. And even the people that say it's not about money, you'll find that they never thought to go on a journey of calling and destiny after they got their career as a banker. "Yeah, I work in Deloitte now. Yeah, I'm a solicitor. I make £70,000 a year. I have nice acrylics. I get to go to Dubai twice a year, and I have a Mercedes Q2, I mean, Audi Q2, you, or Mercedes A-Class. I'm, I'm, I'm fulfilled. My boyfriend has a nice haircut, he has a good, good, good beard. He said he'll marry me." You see, even that itself is materialism. It's a vanity. So all God created you for was to study at Cambridge? Everything that you came on this earth to do was to get a job and buy a car and a house? No, it's wrong.

Now we need to really unpack and unravel this area here. When we're talking about faith, I want to go into the dynamics of it, of how to really unravel wild faith.

Just before you go into that, just made me think of that's why some people's zeal just goes when they get married, you know? Some people's zeal just disappears when they get a child, you know? All of a sudden, they get a child, yeah, they get they get married, and that's the last time you hear of them. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

So would you say that one of the things that this generation is kind of suffering with, it's kind of like that temporary faith? Once they get what they get, then that faith kind of goes, and then they kind of get comfortable, like what you're saying, the materialism, like they get what they get, and then from there, they don't want to strive to anything or purpose. And and that's why God's frustrating a lot of you. Yes, because he needs to investigate your heart. Yeah. And sometimes what God would do is, um, he just wants to show Jonah what he was capable of saying all along. Yeah. That's true. He knew Job's heart. That Job won't curse me. I try my. So that's why he was investigating Job's heart by doing that. Yeah. He investigated. This guy, this guy is not going to, going to, going to curse me. Yeah. He'll curse the day he was born. He'll curse the trees and materials around him. He's not cursing God. Yeah. Whereas Jonah, God needs to show Jonah that you still have something inside of you which, which can get frustrated with some elements. And even though you might not curse me, you, you're still capable of disobeying me. And in the case of Peter, you're still capable of rejecting me, denying me. Yeah. And there seems to be a pattern with Peter. Yeah. Peter denied Jesus three times. Rise, kill, and eat three times. That was answered. Said, then another time as well, you'll see Peter, "Do you love me?" He said it three times. Times. Do you know why God said it three times? The reason why it's said three times is because the message had to bring Peter into full alignment. His body must hear it. Yeah. His soul must hear it, and his spirit. Yeah. And his spirit. Because not every part of Peter had obeyed the instruction. Not every part of Peter was ready to tend to a sheep. Not every part of Peter was ready to rise, kill, and eat. And not every part of Peter had denied Jesus immediately. You see, this is why the witness is established in the mouth of two or three. That's biblical. The mouth of two, three, be established. And so even you, when you pray, you need another witness. And that witness is the Holy Spirit. That makes you a majority. You see.

So I was going to say this, coming back to what you're saying, then we'll move in this area here. Yes. There are there are many people who God's frustrating because he hasn't known their heart. And the reason why he has known their heart is because it's not that he's clueless. But God, very much so, because he, he won't, he won't allow you to to curse him or or have a reason which seems to be valid, all right, quote unquote. Um, and he's a good father, though. Not everything God is saying, he's telling you. And not everything God plans on doing, you know, and and that's how you live. We don't know everything. Yeah. And he has, he doesn't feel obligated to tell you everything. Mmm. But there are times whereby he wants to show you your wicked capability. Okay. So there are some people, you'll understand that what's keeping them praying now is a husband. Okay? They don't have passion for prayer or to know the Lord. They, they don't care about nations. Okay? They just want to come out on a stadium or on a red carpet. Right? They, they don't really care about the secret place the way they say, say they do. It's a husband that's keeping them on their knees. Mmm. Once they have that, there's not a lot to discuss. We see this story so many times with with the elders. They start their company, they start their food business, they start their real estate company, and then once they start that company, suddenly intimacy goes down. Yeah. They don't pray the way they used to pray before. Yeah. And that's because there's nothing, no reason for me to pray the way I used to. I, I have, yeah, the answer to my prayer now, you see. So now you'll find that there are some people that when they have money, they run out of prayer topics. There are people like that because everything they were praying had to do with money. Yeah. So now that there's money, there's not many things to pray about. Yeah. God has answered all of my, what prayers? Prayers. All of those prayers were clearly the reason why you were seeking God. Mmm. And that's why Solomon in Ecclesiastes started saying, you know, "Vanities of vanities," you know, "life is but a vapor," 'cause he achieved all the money. Yeah. Achieved all the money. Yeah. And you've had, you've had God answer all these questions. I mean, answer all these prayer points. Even after he's answered all these prayer points, you'll find that burden for kingdom and zeal to fulfill his work is absent. It's missing from the people because they weren't there and they weren't seeking for the right reason with the right intention. Yeah.

Now, when it comes to prophecy, first part, I want to help people hear it. It's how prophecy fulfillment can work. There are two ways by which sometimes what you believe delayed prophecy is, um, actually she ends up coming to pass. Delayed prophecy can be delayed if the delivery is late. Okay? And delayed prophecy can also be delayed if we don't have the ability to receive. That's a whole conversation. How to receive? Yeah. How to receive? Open heart. Yes. But when I open the door of my heart, how do I shut the door of my heart? Okay? Yes. The prophecy's been delivered. Even when you say it's late, it's late on whose time? That's another question. Yeah. Because according to you, God's late, but God never lived in time. So, so when he gave you that word, he wasn't in time. So he's late on whose time? These are, these are things that we have to ask you. Yeah. You see, so prophecy may seem to to to take time, not because God needs to work the prophecy out, but because you need to attain to the stature to receive and walk in the amen of that prayer. Mmm. Okay. So for some people, what that looks like practically is they need to embark on a certain level of fasting. I know you do two days, three days a week, but God says, "Go for 40 days." Mmm. And this is how it works. The realm of the spirit, in the realm of the spirit, there are quorums. And if that quorum needs to be satisfied, let's say by 300 hours of prayer, God will never tell you, "Come and pray through 300 hours of prayer." Okay? He's not coming to tell you that. Not saying that God doesn't give people requirements of what to pray. God can do that. But God's not telling you, "Pray 300 hours," because you can easily move into sensationalism. Yeah. And it's very easy to come into this place whereby you're believing that because I prayed the three hours, 300 hours, the fulfillment and the prophecy came to pass because of my prayer. Yeah. Yeah. Where was the prophecy came to pass because of the Lord's faithfulness to his word? And also as well, because in your weakness, whilst you spent 300 hours with him, he made you strong. Yeah. Okay. You were weak before. So that quorum is filled at 300 hours. And do you pray one hour a day? Mmm. That tells you that for you, that prophecy to come to pass, you need about 300 hours. So 300 days. Yeah. At your current level. But then when you increase your intensity, what was meant for later, yeah, comes into now. Mmm. So now you start praying 10 hours a day. So now it doesn't need 300 days, it takes 30 days. 30 days. Okay. So now what was supposed to take a year takes a month. Yeah. And people like, "How can that happen?" Do we just? It's more than saying amen. You create room for the blessing. Because when God gives you a divine package from heaven, it also has its fragile labeling on the package. Yeah. Yeah. See, how you receive a package, it says fragile, this is how to handle. There are also things that God gives you, this is how you handle. Yeah. Because the same way they have the capacity to lift you in a minute, they can also destroy you in a minute. That's how the anointing works. He gives you the anointing, and then he places a lid on it, and then he tells you that this anointing, you don't actually have to open the full lid. That intensity of power isn't necessary now. Mmm. Use it incrementally. Build wisdom around what I've given you. And then another time as well, I gave you a prophetic timeline. I think you were there when I was teaching this, and I was saying that prophetic words come to pass usually. If you haven't seen a prophetic word come to pass in three years, in about three years' time, doesn't mean that it's not going to happen. But if you see a prophetic word come to pass in three years, then usually you have to start checking and verifying. Yeah. Okay. However, another prophetic timeline is five years. Mmm. And then usually when it comes to national changes and national solutions, usually it's about seven years. And there are two cases whereby you see national famines which required seven years. Yeah. Okay. Seven years. And that's also as well, that's the number of completion or perfection. And those are the number of the prophetic. Mmm. All right. It's also the number of Sabbath. Um, because on a Sabbath, that's where you enter into rest. So in seven, you enter into rest because that's when he rested. Now, another prophetic timeline is 10 years. Okay. These are different prophetic timelines. Usually, then you might receive a prophetic word, have received a prophetic word, and you receive it so intensively, and you receive it so intensively that at that moment in time, you're like, "Oh my gosh, this is happening tomorrow." Yeah. Definitely. Right? Like you got it. Yeah. Tomorrow. And the way people delivered it with such intensity, you're like, "Okay, tomorrow by this time, the bread is going to be here in my account." Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And then 18 months down the line, "Hey, like, what happened to I see you being the next, you're going to be bigger than Bezos." And like, "What happened? Why?" Mmm. The time when you received those prophetic words, that was God confirming that I've started the process. Yeah. On you. Not here. Yeah. Yeah. No, we're already here. Yeah. This is why haven't you noticed that there are things that you're trusting God to do for you at your age, and you believe that you need time? But if you look well enough, there's another believer who's your age who has it. Yeah. Yeah. But then equally also, there are things that you have that God has trusted you with that they're praying for, and God hasn't trusted them with that yet. Okay? So it works hand in hand. Yeah. And that's because spiritually, we're all at different dynamics. How God needs to to break her and chisel her is different to how I have to break and chisel me based on what our calling was. So the prophecy hasn't come to pass, and the prophecy has come to pass for someone else, simply because where God found you in order to qualify you, it took seven years for them, it took two years. Because bear in mind, within the scope of your prophetic calling, in your prophetic assignment, there are other areas which are equally important for God to develop with the time he has available for you. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Right. So, so, so in case you make hair or fashion, and emphasis, I need to make time to also help you build in this ministry of prophetic dancing. Mmm. And those say, "Well, I need to build you as an intercessor." Mmm. But this is something that you really like, and there's a chance that if I allow you to have this now, you're going to make this the emphasis of your calling. Mmm. Yes. This is why some people, God gave them great grace of the prophetic, not because he wanted them to operate as a prophet, but because that stream has to be that intensive because they're called to government, and they must be that accurate. Yeah. Their visions and the oil in their life prophetically must come in that form. But then they make it an emphasis. Then by making an emphasis, they then miss everything else God wanted them to do in that season. In terms of, they don't maximize it. Okay. So you then see my prophetic word coming to pass, and when you see my prophetic word come to pass, it then feels as though there's some favoritism in the kingdom. There's no favoritism. It takes a solicitor maybe three years. Mmm. But whether you like it or not, if you're called to be a doctor, you need to wait seven years. Yeah. And there's no shortcut in that. Yeah. And then there are times whereby on the timeline of a three-year fulfillment of a prophecy, you get a prophecy has happened. You see someone get a prophecy and it happens from next week. Yeah. And then you get a prophecy never. Because when they got their prophecy, that was two years and eight months into their three years. When you got your prophecy, that's the start of your three years. Oh, yeah. So thereby start thinking, so what else can we do if the prophecy feels like it's delayed? Increase your intensity to attain the stature. Yeah. Yeah. And that's through prayer. Right? Yes. Through prayer. But there's also a strategic way through impartation, whereby the oil you inherit is older than yourself. And also as well, you can have the experience of 10 years placed in a teaching with an elder for three hours. Mmm. Yeah. Yeah. You have a man that's walked that journey longer than you, and the information which through your own study and at your spiritual maturity, you can only eat bones. I mean, I mean, I mean boneless meat. You can't eat meat with bones, and you can't eat certain things. God knew that before you have the food, I mean, the teeth to digest this, it will take time. Yeah. It will take about three years of study. But then an elder comes who's more learned, more experienced, and by the time that they've walked with God, and the journey they've walked with God, God establishes it so that they break down 10 years that they can be consumed in three hours, and you save time.

Now, I want to talk about the dynamics of faith here. You must understand that one of the things that are instrumental to seeing God's word come to pass and to access this which we call mountain-moving faith is your ability to see. To see where? Because it's not like we're seeing here. Everything. There are times where you're in prayer, and while you're praying, you start to imagine yourself owning buildings. You're in prayer, you start to see yourself building churches. It's not a daydream that you're doing. God has you praying. He's taking you on a journey. Yeah. Okay. And as he takes you on that journey, he starts to give you insight and access into things which are yonder, beyond the realm that you operated. Are you guys still with me so far? Questions? Anything?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm with you. Yeah. So when you spoke about, quickly just go back, sorry. When you spoke about impartation in regards to people that have gone ahead of you, can you still, because you spoke about those that have walked with God, can you still apply this to, let's say, those people that have mentors or people that are not in the faith? Would you still say that that's required? So let's say for me, I'm, I'm a dancer, and then I don't know anyone in the Christian industry that's able to impart on me for, for example, can I still apply this principle to somebody in the industry that's not of the faith?

They, they all, everyone has impartations or elders that they're looking up to. Yeah. Mmm. Mmm. You play football, you have a manager. Yeah. You don't listen to your manager, you don't play the game. Yeah. Regardless if he's a Christian or not. Regardless. We don't care. Yeah. No matter how smart you think you are, there are some jobs unless you have the qualification or the degree, you'll never get those jobs. Yeah. The reason why you won't get those jobs is because you haven't qualified according to what they require. Mmm. You haven't satisfied their minimum requirement. And I feel like that's something that a lot of Christians, especially as someone that's always wanted to do business and make money in business, some Christians are missing. 'Cause when I started trying to make my business successful, I just thought it was only through reading the Bible. So I was reading the Bible, I was reading the Bible, trying to see how I can implement that into my business. But it wasn't telling. There's nothing in the Bible telling you about online business and things like that. And this is when I had to invest into mentors and, yeah, that wisdom, even though it was secular, um, reading books, even though they're secular, but yeah, I'm, I'm able to apply, and I, and I know that I'm standing God, and that's my foundation. And I, like, I don't know if you said it, but yeah, one thing you've got to be able to do is, you know, chew the meat and spit out the bones. So that's one thing I really did. Yeah. Yeah. You learn to do that. Yeah. Because there are times whereby the information that God wants you to get isn't in Canaan, it's in Egypt. So you have to go back to Egypt. Yeah. Yeah. And when you go back to Egypt, take their goods. Don't take that culture and bring it back here. Yeah. That's true. That's a good one. Bring back that culture. You will bring back a wrong culture, and that wrong culture will defile what God wants to build in integrity here. Yeah. That's true. Okay. How does that happen? Because Jacob and his 12 sons were starving, and so he said, "Let us go from this place and let us go to Egypt, for there is corn in Egypt." Mmm. But Canaan, biblically, is the promised land. Yeah. So there are times where you leave the promised land to go to the place where you used to be oppressed. Yeah. We were in the kingdom, we're in the kingdom, and then you go back in the world. You're in it, but not of it. This time, you're there to just collect the corn. Yeah. And then you bring it back. So we learn how to do marketing. Yeah. Not so that we can just market a nightclub, we learn how to reach the masses. Yeah. For evangelism. Yeah. Joseph. Mmm. Yeah. Yeah. That's what he done. Mmm. You learn how to build a business so that we can establish our own ecosystem as a kingdom. Yeah. You see.

Let's go to Hebrews 11 verse 1-6. Let's, let's hear it.

"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for." Okay, so we established this. The substance of things hoped for, and we spoke about the first platform here is words, and then those words accumulate into hope. Mmm. Or the manifestation of hope, then it's all collected to become evidence called faith.

Continue. "the evidence of things not seen." For by the elders obtained good testimony. Good. Now, is this KJV?

No, no. New King. New King. Because in KJV, it says, "By it, the elders obtained a good report." Let's try King James version. Okay. So verse two. "For by it, the the elders obtained a good report." No, the elders obtained a good report. Mmm. They obtained that good report by faith. Yeah. Now, they obtained a good report, meaning that the report they could bring back was one of men that live by faith. And that's because they understand this transaction. They always have hope that there's more. And so whenever a testament is supposed to be accumulated about their life, it means that they're men of faith. They understand that when trials and tribulations come, our God can deliver us from the fire. Yeah. By it, they obtained a good report. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah.

Now, the first thing you have to understand is that most of the limitations you're experiencing in your life now, they were taught to you. Mmm. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. They were taught to you. And also as well, when God wants to establish your faith, part of the regenerating of your mind, the renewal of your mind, is correcting wrong definitions. Even right now, what you call expensive was never expensive to you. What? Yeah. That's true. That's true. It was called expensive because your father told you that if milk ever cost more than £2, yeah, classified as expensive. And one thing I like to touch on is the fact that as a baby, you don't know what expensive is. So as a child, when you go to the store, you want to get all the toys, you want to get everything that's in there because they don't know how much things cost. But that's how you was made from, from, from birth. You was made already to have an abundance mindset. And, yeah, even sometimes I like to say to people that, like, like for example, for me, I know that in the future I want to have a private jet. And like, obviously, someone's going to hear that and go, "Okay, a private jet is expensive." But if I was offered a private jet today for a pound, I'll take it. Who knows? Maybe there might be a sale for a private jet for £1. I'll take it. I'll take the pound. So it's got nothing to do with the price. It's got everything to do with just what I want. And that's just it. It just happens to be that a private jet costs this amount of money. Same thing, a lot of people want a house or they want a certain car or things like that. But you don't, it's not, I don't think it's the, you can't, you, I don't think you should say that you can't get this house or car because it costs that much because who knows, there might be a sale for it, and then all of a sudden you can afford it. So, you know, don't, I don't think you people should limit. That's one thing that really is, is always on my heart. Don't limit yourself because of the price. Absolutely.

So the definitions of what you know to be expensive were not definitions that you had initially. They were taught to you. Yeah. So one of the things that God has to do is he has to take us on this journey, and on this journey, he begins to purge. Mmm. Mmm. One of the things he starts to purge is he starts to purge the limitations which were caused by thoughts that exalt themselves against the knowledge of God. Yeah. High-mindedness. Sometimes that fear and procrastination and constantly worrying about the problem has meant that the problem has become so valuable to you. Yeah. That it gets your attention. Yeah. No matter how strong the atmosphere is, what stands before you is debt. It has a stronger voice, even in the presence of God. That while you're praying and worshiping, everything is revolving around your debt. That's the stronghold. It's a stronghold. Yeah. That report is louder than any voice that may come, still and peaceful. Yeah. The Lamb's voice is ignored. The voice of death is heard. No matter how many encounters some of these people have seen angels, and they've seen supernatural things happen, they've seen the dead raised. What stands before them? The mountain. And the mountain says louder things. You see, that mountain says louder things than even that voice of God. Mmm. And so when the blood of Jesus came, it spoke better things. Yeah. Than even the blood of Abel. Mmm. It spoke for us, and it and it testifies for us on our behalf. Even that testimony must move someone from asking for healing to living in divine immunity. Yeah. That it's already paid for. Yeah. The healing anointing and ministry upon my life changed when I understood this. Yeah. I'd pray for some people that don't get healed, others get healed. I'm thinking, why is this happening? Then I understood this, that I'm spending a credit card. Mmm. Or, in fact, I'm not spending a credit card. I'm, I'm using, well, yeah, it's credit, but not debt. Yeah. Initially, you know, because when you're in accounts on credit, there's more money. Jesus was when that started this, because when Jesus would heal the sick, Calvary had not yet been fulfilled. Mmm. He hadn't yet gone to the cross. So he hadn't gone to the cross, but he'd still pray for the sick, and the sick would recover. Mmm. Do you know why? Mmm. Because he's spending on what's about to be fulfilled. Yeah. Okay. That's good. If Jesus hadn't died, all of those people's healings were not going to be permanent. Wow. This infirmity is going to come back to them. Yeah. Yeah. So right now, he's doing, "Clean it up, buy now, pay later." Okay. Because he knows that everyone's debt and everyone's sin will be forgiven them. Yeah. Yeah. So what he does first and foremost is he first goes on to heal them, then he says, "I'll take it to the cross." Yeah. Have you noticed that even when it comes to healing, Jesus would say, "Your sins are forgiven"? It's because sometimes what might stop the transaction of that miracle is the fear of their sin from yesterday. Mmm. So he makes sure that he pays that penalty too. "Your sins are forgiven now." Because you're cleared of your debts, "Let me give you an inheritance from eternal life from this world." And that's why he said to that one man, "Don't keep sinning, or it will become even more." These are the conditions of how to keep on making your your mortgage payments. These are the conditions of living in this freedom that you've been given. Yeah.

So there was a time whereby in the Old Covenant, you'd see that the disciples, certain of the disciples, um, the children of Israel, they had been bitten by the poisonous snakes in the wilderness, and these snakes were afflicting them. And then Moses receives a prophetic direction from the Lord. And that's the next part we're going to talk about when it comes to faith, prophetic directions. Mmm. Miracles. And when he receives this prophetic direction from the Lord, the Lord says, "Create another bronze serpent, yeah, and then put it in their midst, and then when you put it in their midst, whosoever shall look upon that serpent will be healed." Mmm. Why? You see, the poison from the snakes was the sin. The sin that was upon them. Mmm. And then the serpent, or the poison that then entered them, meant that they became sin. Yeah. And they became sinners. They were unclean. Yeah. And then they look upon the big serpent, so they that are sinners look upon him that was sin, the serpent. And then when they looked upon the serpent, they'd be healed and they'd recover. I don't get it. So the children of Israel, Mmm, if you look at the scriptures, Jesus gave an instruction, or the Lord gave an instruction to Moses, that in order for them to receive their healing, yeah, they must look at the serpent. That make a serpent, a bronze serpent, and when they look upon that serpent, they'll be healed. Yeah. This is mirroring Jesus on the cross for us. Okay. You see. Yeah. That we who were sinners look upon him who became sin on the cross. You see. And then as we look upon him that was sin, yeah, we receive. Yeah. Okay. Why, why, why was it a bronze serpent then? Mmm. It, yeah. Go ahead. Yeah. Like, why was there bronze serpent? Jesus is always like, Jesus has become the serpent is a signification of sin. What color were his feet to be described as bronze? Notice it was his feet that are bronze. Yeah. Also as well, the serpent is bronze. Mmm. Bronze biblically is symbolic of judgment. Okay. Okay. So his feet are judgment. They're bronze. That serpent, symbolic of the cross, is bronze. His heel, the Bible says, "His heel shall bruise the head of the serpent." His bronze feet, he will release a judgment on the head of the serpent. And at the crushing of the head of the serpent, that also too is the triumph and the victory of the church. The moment that cross was placed in the ground, the moment his feet were nailed, the head of the serpent was crushed. Wow. You see. Now, the Bible says, "Casting down imaginations that exalt themselves against knowledge of the Lord." Powerful. Key part there. The pulling down of imagination. Every imagination that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. What you meditate on, and what your meditation is, has a way of forming and becoming the consciousness that you function from. Okay. This is why there are believers who can pray, they can speak in tongues, they can even go to do deliverance, but when they talk about sickness, they call it "mine." Yeah. Okay. That's good. The reason why they call it mine is because due to that infirmity being in their body for so long.

Long, they've become one with it. Yeah. And instead of increasing their faith, they've adapted their lifestyle around an inconvenience. Mhm. The inconvenience was only supposed to be the means for promotion. Wow. But it's become the reason why they're captive. And so anytime healing is ministered or spoken to them, they always receive on behalf of someone else, other than themselves. Yeah. Because, according to them, it is the end there that God can't help them out of that situation. You see, because we've seen similar scenarios before. And in similar scenarios that we've been in before, we've seen other people who had such a sickness, had such a disease, and they didn't recover fully. Or maybe they, one of those people, they say, "I've had this condition for a while." Uh, and you know, there have been times where it goes, then it comes back. You see. So this system of buy now, pay later. Mmm. Jesus, even after Calvary, was still successful in healing people. Now, we live and we function from the revelation of, "It's already paid for." Yeah. "It's already done." Okay. So what I'm doing is, I give thanks from the basis of it being done. I've obtained a good report. My healing, the report's already there. It's already obtained. Yeah. My healing is not going to happen. It already happened 2,000 years ago. Yeah. When I simplified the healing ministry to this level, it became easy to see miracles. Yeah. And I think someone would want you to go deeper when you said about how it was, the sickness was meant to promote you. It was supposed to be a means to promote you. What did you mean? In the realm of the spirit, the battle you win is the battle you're rewarded. Okay. So if you kill a Goliath, there's a song they sing, and there's a way that you're then identified in the spirit realm. Mhm. Okay. That's why Paul, we know he's, he's known for what he does. Okay. Jesus, we know. But who are you? You're, you're not known. Yeah. The reason why you're not known is because, according to how you function, and according to the battle tools you fought before, you're notably known as a beggar. You always eat the children's bread. You've been a believer for seven years. You're a victim of circumstances. You don't have rank or stature to take down this mountain. You see. And so instead of learning how to talk to fig trees, you ask God to provide you with fruits. Let's look at the fig tree again. I want to show you another dynamic. The fig tree. Mark 11, 11, 20. Yeah. Let's go from verse 18. Mark 11:18. "And the scribes and the chief priests heard it and sought how they might destroy him, for they feared him because all the people were astonished at his teaching. When evening had come, he went out of the city. Now in the morning, as they passed by, they saw the fig tree dried up from the roots. And Peter, remembering, said to him, Rabbi, look, the fig tree which you cursed has withered away." Now, they're astonished at that because what they're expecting, and this, this is where we operate as believers. We, we, we assume that things just happened coincidentally. Yeah. Right? That's called being a victim of circumstances. Mhm. Whereby you never pointed fig trees. There are so many scenarios where we're trusting God, and we're waiting on God, and we're angry, and it, you wait a long time. Yeah. Yeah. The same reason why it's mad for you. See, when the Bible talks about weapons formed against you, weapons formed against you, the tree can be a weapon told to work against you. Okay. For as long as she's within this vicinity, she eats anywhere and everywhere. But from this tree, even if there's a specific vitamin which your body requires, and your body will never be able to retain or receive that vitamin from any other fruit or from any tree, but this fig tree, the fig tree refuses to bring forth this fruit at that moment in time. You're punishing the disobedience of the fig. Let me show you another scripture and account. We want to look at the fig story again, but I want to show you this from a different scripture. I believe it's in Matthew 21. Let's go from verse 17. And it says here, "And he left them and went out of the city to Bethany, and he lodged there. Now in the morning, as he returned into the city, he hungered. And when he came and saw a fig tree in the way, he came to it and said, and found nothing thereon but leaves only. And said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee hence forward forever. And presently the fig tree withered away." In fact, let's go back to Mark 11 from verse 14. I want to show you something from even from verse 13. It says, "And seeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he came if happily he might find anything thereon. And when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for the time of figs was not yet. And Jesus answered and said unto it." Now, Jesus is answering. You can't answer the fig tree if it's not communicating. Mhm. It means that there was a way and a realm in which the fig tree was speaking. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. So fig trees can speak. Then the, the fig tree was speaking. Jesus answered the fig tree this way. People are going to ask, "How? How can the fig tree speak?" How? The, the, that fig tree, we're going to answer that. That fig tree answered. I mean, that fig tree spoke. Mhm. And Jesus had to answer and reply the fig tree. Yeah. So the first thing we establish in that scripture is, actually, the fig tree talks. Yeah. Yes. The bank account that's always an overdraft talks. It talks. Yeah. What, what it talks? It's a factory. Yeah. What is the language? The language of minus. Because according to Psalms 23, "My cup runs over." So anything which is in contradiction to the report and the word of the Lord is a communication of disobedience. Yes. Yes. That's Psalms 1. I believe it's from verse, verse four. Start talking about how it says, "His fruit, his tree shall not wither. His fruit will bring forth fruit in the season. His fruit, his tree will not wither. His leaf will not live, wither, sorry. And whatsoever he doth shall prosper." Says, "Blessed is the man that walketh not in the council of the ungodly." Yeah. All right. Now, now, "Whatsoever he doth shall prosper." From verse 3 to 4. "Whatsoever he doth prospers." Mmm. I find a situation. The devil's not involved. God's not said no. It means the issues, the fig tree, it has its own personal opinion. And it came to the conclusion that I'm not going to give Jesus fruit. Mhm. Now, we were, I was, we was talking about this earlier. Yeah. And I was saying that the language that the Lord used when approaching that victory is called praise. Because it said he ran merrily. Mhm. That was the victory seeing, hearing, and refusing to bring forth fruit. Yeah. Also, as well, that communication is a bodily communication, body language. And this is what you were saying. You're saying that 60s go. So I was saying that most, most communications happens through body language. 60% of the way we communicate is through body language. About 30% comes from the tone of voice, and the literal percent is just for your verbal communication. That's crazy. Yeah. No, no, no. This is why this is why this is so deep. We're going somewhere here. Crazy. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. This is why in the spirit realm, it's not about who said the name. Yeah. I mean, about about how you said the name. Yeah. Or the volume. It's who said it. Yes. Yes. Because, because their body stature, not the language, the stature is different to your body stature. Yeah. You're too small to challenge this area. Yeah. And according to, to the realm of the spirit, when they check you and they scan you, even though you have noise in the natural, in the supernatural, you're not that loud. Mmm. In the spirit, you're quiet. Mmm. This is the testimony or the story of the horns that Daniel heard. There was a big horn and there was a small horn. And he went to all the horns, and all the horns spoke. But when he went to the small horn, of all the horns, the smallest horn spoke the loudest things. Okay. This just makes me think of like, how two individuals can both have minus 10,000 in debt. But if I'm looking at that, I can look at it on face. But somebody else is breaking down crying. Yeah. Because just my body language, you, it's not going to faze me. You know. Yeah. Yeah. That knowing that you have is because you've discovered the treasure in earthen vessels. That the 10,000. Listen to me. There are many people who believe they have one million pounds or 10,000 pounds. They don't have 10,000 or a million. No. They're watching 10,000 or a million. It's not theirs. That's exactly what happens with lottery winners. Because that money was theirs to watch. It was never theirs. Yeah. So the account is on 10,000 minus. But even if that account is on 10,000 minus, you know that the value is me. And for as long as I have a voice which can be heard, my value hasn't diminished. Yeah. So the 10,000 you're pointing at is just numbers. Mmm. The real 10,000 has everything to do with me, the value I provide, and the solutions I bring on a consistent basis. I know week in, week out, I can deliver at this level. Yeah. I can always solve problems in my marketplace which are worth more than 100,000. So even if you take this 100,000, for as long as I have a voice and hands, I'll still deliver. Whereas someone else, they hold on to that 100,000 for dear life. They buy a cheeseburger, they look around the street for another pound so they can, it can, 100,000. They, they know because they were never the value. Okay. "As a man thinketh, so is he." So there are some people, they've exalted their poverty. Mmm. They, they've exalted. Exactly right. And they never talk to the fig tree. Everything around you is either a fig tree that is speaking good, or a cursing fig tree. Yes. The car you come into, it, the engine doesn't start. It says, "You're a failure. You can't afford it." It's a cursing fig tree. You, you, you find that the electricity in your house goes down, you can't afford to buy new, and you're scrambling for pennies. That moment and that scenario is a fig tree communicating your level. So what you have to do is, you have to live somewhere else. Yeah. That's what I love about imagination. Yeah. I can be here, but I don't live here. Yeah. Yes. According to me, the person sat on this podcast, um, according to me, the person sat in this meeting, in this discussion we're having, is a, is a multi-billionaire. Yes. Yeah. Okay. Now, have you ever noticed that when prophecy coming to pass, of coming into fulfillment, this thing happens whereby, even before it's fulfilled, the peace and the assurance that it's done rests in your soul? Yes. You don't feel like praying for it anymore. Yes. You think it's done. Everyone, everyone around you is praying, "Come on, clap your hands. Come on, God's anointing." Ah, you just sing melodies. I'll sing prayers. Your prayer point is even different. Mmm. Because you're no longer there. Yes. The reason why you're no longer there is because already, spiritually, you've traveled. Yeah. Okay. And you've obtained a better report. That even though there isn't an Isaac to talk about now, let's keep on soaring. My wife, if the Lord says he'll give me a son, we'll have a son, and it will be by your womb, Sarah. You've obtained a better report. And this is one of the things that you can do even now. So what you start to do is, you're not happy with your house. You start searching for the furniture. Yes. Yes. All you need is a reference point for a level of meditation. Okay. This doesn't necessarily have to be prayerful meditation, but this is you casting your cares. Yes. Yes. On things above your problem. So, is this a form of prayer as well? Would you say it's a form of prayer? When it's all you surrender to, okay. But also, as well, that acknowledgement can also be received as a form of prayer in thanks. Okay. Does that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, so, so, I remember one time there was something that I wanted. Okay. And I had been moving my money in different areas, different areas. And so, just to go and buy that thing, I didn't, I didn't have it. Mmm. But I made a declaration in faith that, you know what, this is mine, and let it be done unto me. Yeah. Now, look, look, look. When it comes to the supernatural, and when it comes to miracles taking place, most people don't see the manifestation because they don't have an inspiration. Okay. So whenever you want to see something materialized, you receive an inspiration. Mmm. God tells you what to do so that he can do. So, for instance, God will say to you, "Now go and collect empty baskets." Mmm. You don't know what the empty baskets are for. The Lord might say to you, "Go and go and collect the soil from the ground." Yeah. Collect the empty. Elijah said, "And what he'll do is, the same mouth that you went to, the same river that you were in, whereby you experienced drought, is because you didn't have a preceding word to back you." Okay. "So I've been in this marketplace for a long time." Yes. "You have, but I haven't told you to cast your net." Yes. "And then God goes on to say, cast your net." He says, "No, but we've been here all day. Yeah. We've registered this business. We've been running for three years. You don't have a preceding word." Yes. "Cast your net." Mmm. And then suddenly, the business that was stammering and jittering, the joke of the family, becomes what sustains the family in the year of famine. That same business becomes the gion everybody runs to. Why? There was a word that's preceding. So some people, the reason why their faith is discouraged is because they're now praying the wrong thing. You've had the confirmation. Now, for some of you, you see, I, I want to present this in in different ways. For some of you, now, what you need is the inspiration. The next word to tell you, "Faith, I've heard you. They've prophesied." Now, if you're a man of the spirit and you're intelligent, you say, "God, not give to me. God, what should I do?" Yes. "So that this can come to pass?" Mmm. This changed so much for me. Okay. So there's something that I'm trusting God for, and I want God to give it to me. Um, or I want to see it come into my life because I know those things aren't in heaven. Okay. What is cause those things are not in heaven? Then God said, "Okay, go and buy this thing." Okay. It's just, let me give you an. It's like God saying, God saying, um, uh, "You want a house?" Yeah. "Go buy a sofa." Yeah. Okay. "Write the vision and make it plain." But you need a point of a point of contact. Sometimes it encourages your. And what you start to do is, sometimes to encourage my faith, I start obsessing over a bigger problem. Yeah. Yeah. So before you ever see 100,000, how am I going to spend 100K? How, how am I going to invest it? You see. Mmm. I worry myself so much and start to think about so much. It's as though it's already there. It's already there. Yeah. Because it is there. It's just not in my pocket. Okay. So, would you say that's where the meditation and kind of imagination part plays into the faith? Yes. Those are more elevated places. Your faith has moved from glory to glory. We used to ask God to give us a job so we can make 24,000 a year. Now we're thanking God for 25,000 a day. Yeah. Okay. You, you move in your faith. You used to ask God and say, "God, um, if only I'll be able to meet my rent." And now you're celebrating God because you've just signed for your 10th house. Yeah. That you bought. You move from glory to glory. Yes. So one of the proofs that you're still immature is that your confession and your report is outdated. Yeah. Small, small what you're saying. And where heaven has you calendared in God's prophetic agenda, it's not parallel. They're complete contradictions. You, you right now, you're still asking God to to stop the storm. By now, you're supposed to walk on water. Hope I get in this. That's where you're supposed to be. But because your meditation is narrow-minded, yes. You know, you know, a lack of faith is pride. It's insulting. Di. Let me help you fix your mic. D says, "No, no, no. I've got it." Then you say, "Okay, then." D says, "Oh my God, I don't know how to fix." D f Ms. "No, I've got it." And then she starts crying. Your panic is you telling God that I have another alternative other than faith. Yeah. My alternative is called worry. It's fruitless. It will never produce. But it feels more convenient than waiting on your timing. So it's insulting to God. That's why B says, "Without faith, it's impossible to please God." God. And they that come to him must believe that he is number one, I am. And that he is a rewarder. I specialize in rewarding people. I'm not a God of injustice. Even if you feel like there's injustice, he says, "Bring to me now your strong arguments. Your strong arguments. Let's see if there's injustice." If you want to see how far a man has journeyed, ask him to tell you his vision. Ask a lot of believers. Ask a lot of believers that are watching this. Tell them, "Tell me your vision." You'll realize that they don't see themselves the way God sees them. Yeah. What's your plan? Where do you see yourself financially? Oh, if I can make 5,000 a month. And you wonder, "So when will we come to a point where we can bail out Russia?" Honestly, 5,000 a month. If you don't have a value system which can sustain other people besides yourself, yes, and be passed on as an inheritance, you don't have wealth. Yeah. It's not wealth. Okay. So, so, so you start to panic. You become anxious. All of that is a meditation. It's a meditation on things that are inferior to the purposes and the plan of God. Okay. And God's just looking at you there. He's wondering, "Jesus said, 'As I see my Father do, I do.'" Remember that? Yes. "Now, what was the Father doing?" He was bringing increase. He was multiplying. Five loaves and feeding 5,000. "As I see my Father do, I do." And every time before Jesus worked a miracle, he'd receive an inspiration. "What does Abba do?" Abba commands a coin from the fish. Okay. Guys, you see? Yeah. So your inability to demonstrate the power of God and to manifest the miraculous is proof that you have a dysfunctional cord with heaven. You're not hearing him clearly. Your report is not matching to the report of heaven. Yeah. Okay. Do you know that sometimes what happens is you have to let this fear psychologically? And even proven over a period of time when you study the nature of humans, fear was supposed to be a protective instinct. If fear was never supposed to be a part of us, then in no way should it be practiced. Yes. Uh-huh. So the fear of the Lord is a protective instinct to keep you in proximity to the Father. Yeah. You decline on fear. You don't have him. Fear stops negligence. It increases your awareness of responsibility. Yeah. But fear was never supposed to. People, it's as though you're, you're being monitored. When you talk like you're not allowed to just say, say a big dream or wild imagination. That's how some people act. Like it's almost illegal word to just have a bit of boldness. And yeah, like the moment I, I speak in boldness, like my words, there's only a certain amount of words I can say per day. It's strange. Very. Just some of the beliefs some people have and how narrow-minded they've become. And one of the ways you break that shell is through consistent meditation. So I asked God for inspiration. When I then got that inspiration of what to do, buy this thing here, then the miracle took place. The "how" isn't your discussion. It's not your, your issue. Because what he'll do is, the same place you left which looks dead is the same place where you'll draw money and you'll draw the fish. That's how it works. It's like, and and God enjoys these scenarios. Yeah. Like, as prophetic as Jesus was, you know, that prophet of prophets, if he's a prophet, he's holier than thou. Okay. As prophetic as he was, weren't you aware that you're going to come to a place where there's not enough loaves to feed everyone? I'm sure he, come on. Yeah. Come on. Mmm. You have to be aware at least. Yeah. Even still, I, I, I have a question, guys. Even still, it's so interesting that you're on this boat. I love this story where where he was walking up in the storm. Mmm. But even though he's been woken up from the storm, my, my question is, as deep as Jesus is, isn't there going to be journey mercies? Like, don't we normally pray that God, let there be a safe journey? What is that? That sounds like that's a complete contradiction to the prayer. Shouldn't we bless the boat and then there's, there's no storm? Yeah. That's what you'd expect to happen when Jesus is around. Yeah. Shouldn't he prophetically tell us to buy as much bread as possible because we need to feed 5,000 people? Yeah. Yeah. Because miracles are a product of limitation. There has to be a resistance. So sometimes for God to work a miracle, he has to bring a resistance. So he orchestrates a difficult scenario. One question I was going to have is, so what was Jesus doing when he told, was it Thomas, "What should we do in this situation?" In the feeding of the 5,000? I don't know who, who he asked. Mmm. He wanted to consult their wisdom. Okay. He just, he, he'll do that sometimes. It's not that he doesn't know. "Son of man, shall these dry bones live?" Yeah. "Uh, Lord, you know." "Lord, says you know too." "Speak to them." So he's asking you, "Faith, what are you going to do?" He, he's asking you to consult your inspiration. Not your inspiration. No. He wants to see how well you trust him. Okay. And he also wants to measure your level of faith. Yeah. Yeah. It's called the training of a God. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm not training you to be servants and beggars. Yes, you serve me. Mmm. And yes, you'll serve the world, but you're supposed to reign as kings. Yes. In life. Okay. You're supposed to operate in the God dimension and the God faculty. The God is not his title. Mmm. God is his office. God is a realm. Yes. That's why when that medium awoke up Samuel the prophet, she said, "What have you done to Saul?" She said, "The gods of among us." Mmm. Plural. Gods. Not God. It's a realm. It's a constituency. You're invited to once you graduate beyond the limitations of man. So all you can do to Moses is tell Moses to go somewhere so he can die. Because he doesn't die the way a man dies. He's a God now. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. He doesn't just speak words and they come to pass. They, they're now a law to his generation and to the people to come. It takes someone else of a Messianic rank to come and fulfill. And he's so much so, he becomes a god unto Aaron. There's a way when your faith has become wild and audacious. Mmm. The next training God brings you into is how to use your mouth. Yes. Mmm. And so that's why very deep men that are very spiritual, they don't tell many jokes. Oh, listen to Bishop David Oyedepo. My, my, my dad, sorry, told me the story that one time David Oyedepo, he would tell many jokes, you know, he was a funny person. He told us the jokes. And then one day the Lord told him, "You mustn't joke like that. And say so many jokes. You're a prophet, and I've anointed your mouth." Mmm. And so he observed the word. He heard the word. And then some time went on, maybe he forgot the instruction, and he started telling more jokes. And then one day he woke up, and he had boils in his mouth. Boils in his mouth. He couldn't speak. He was in pain. And there were different treatments he was trying, weren't working. Some days passed. And then he went into prayer. And he asked the Lord. And he said, "Lord, I have boils. They've just appeared. Where is this coming from?" And God said, "I told you, you're a prophet. Don't joke with your mouth." Yes. Let me, let me show you what a man of stature does. A man of stature doesn't just say, "Oh, bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you. Bless you." He says, "Prepare soup for me that I may bless you." Mmm. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. If the medium. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Come on. If it's just a matter of words. Come on. Isaac, haven't run out of words. Say it again for Jacob. I mean, for Esau. But he says, "I don't have anymore." But I thought they're just words. But it's because even then, he knew that the words I'm communicating, they're material. They're spirit and they're life. And according to my spirit resource and inventory, yeah, I can release this upon one. Wow. My firstborn. The fruit of your lips is constantly being wasted. And every time good seed comes from prayer, you spoil it. You speak carelessly about the promise. And those is why you joke about the words you use. And sometimes it's not that those words are impacting the people around us, it's the way they talk to our faith. That's true. That's good. We, we, I remember there was, um, a situation. They spoke about trying to remember the story. You've heard of the story whereby they spoke to a plant, and then they spoke to a plant continuously good things, and to another plant, they spoke negatively. Yeah. And then over the next few months, the results were astounding to them. That the plant that they spoke negatively about withered away, and the plant they spoke good things about grew even more. You see. Now, that was proven scientifically. So, according to them, they were speaking about energy. When your faith, the masses, instead of it taking months for the plant to wither away, it takes an hour, or a second, or a minute. That's the point you need to get to. So you receive an inspiration, and the next part of this is the point whereby you live in that realm. Like I was saying before, I want to come back to that point, and then we'll wrap up here, and we'll do another part. And in that whereby you live in that realm, you must understand that even your ability to see, discern, your perspective, you live your life within the context of the fulfillment of that word. That's how you live. You're living your life as one that already has. Yes. Because you're not fighting for, you're fighting from. Mmm. Okay. Yeah. So a million pounds will never enter your bank account. Not because there's no million pounds into your bank account, but it's not in this bank account. How can anyone even believe that when they're printing a million pounds from fin? Yeah. You know. So true. So until it enters here, it can never enter here. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So what he does is, he says, "What shall we do? What should we do?" And sometimes the reason why God likes to extend that process before you see a manifestation of certain miracles is because over the period of time, he wants to show you what else you do in waiting. Mmm. Okay. So when he spoke to Ezekiel, he was showing him that, look, this is what you do, Ezekiel. The next time you encounter dry bones, there's an inspiration that will come. Yeah. You speak. You speak what's been given. The word that the Lord speaks and gives unto you. Don't take from it and don't add more to it. Yeah. Let me give you an example. There are opportunities where God gives us the chance to strike the ground. In scriptures, you see where the prophet instructs him to strike the ground, and he only struck the ground two or three times. Mmm. And he said, "You should have struck the ground more." Yeah. "Had you struck the ground more, this is how many times you were going to conquer your enemies." But because you've only struck two or three times, you'll only defeat them this many times. Yeah. Okay. Now, the reason why he's not striking the ground many times is because, according to him, it's an irrational instruction. Mmm. It doesn't make any sense to strike the ground. Yeah. Yeah. "I strike the ground for what? For who?" That's what he thinks of himself. Ex. His body language. Yeah. Okay. And that's exactly what God does in most times and gives you an inspiration. Mmm. Yeah. It, you, you'll say, you, you'll say, um, "I don't have the qualification." That God would say, "Apply for the, apply for it anyway." Yeah. Yeah. "But my CV doesn't meet the standard." "Apply for it anyway." Apply for it anyway. Yeah. That's you striking the ground. Other times, what God would do is he'll tell you, you know, you're you're crippled. I had a throw at this. Uh, Apostle Smith, bigles with a man was crippled. The man had only one leg. The other leg was amputated. He had a metal leg. And Apostle Smith looked to the man and he said to him, "What, what size shoe are you?" The man says, "I don't wear shoes. I have one foot. Don't need to wear shoes." Says, "But what size shoe are you?" Man says, "It's shoe size. I'm a size nine or 10. Maybe." He said, "10." And then he then went to him and said, "Okay, go buy the shoes." Yeah. It's ignorance, you see. But God often times will use the foolish thing to confound the wise. So you obey that ignorance. As serious as it is, be this. What I ask God, I say, I say, "God, make me the foolish thing that he used to confound the wise." So, so you use that foolishness. So he went to the shop, asked for size 10. He gets to size 10. When he gets the size 10, the shoe, the, the shopkeeper, when he hands the shoes over, he's frightened. He's petrified. Because as the man was holding that shoe box, his leg grew back. Wow. His leg grew back. You see. So, so it's within that ignorance, the wisdom of God is stated there. Yeah. So you apply for that job anyway. And then once you apply for that job anyway, suddenly you realize that they call you in and say, "You've got the job." You didn't have an interview. There are many miracles you've seen right there. Yeah. That's because at that moment in time, you're understanding miracle, the miraculous and the supernatural is not something that's commonly comprehended. The Bible says that we've known him by the mind of Christ, the mind of God. That means anything that you know of him is not being comprehended by your carnal mind. Yes. It is being comprehended by his mind. That's what you have to step into his mind. So anything that you know supernaturally is not because of your ability through books and through studying, through a PhD that you know it. You know what you know based on his infinite sources. Mmm. So we have this treasure in earthen vessels. Okay. The reason why I believe that I can't be stopped is because he's never been stopped. Yes. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a brain surgeon. But something within him knows how to cure a brain because he made the brain. Yeah. And so with that consciousness and with that revelation, the supernatural hand in me and the power of God can extend from me and heal that brain. Mmm. That makes sense. Yes. Yeah. Are there any questions here on this topic? You have one. Fantastic. Blessing has a question. Right. So with everything that's been said, um, how would you then pray power-provoking prayers in alignment to scriptures, but then also kill selfish ambitions when the prayers have been answered, if that makes sense? Well, first and foremost, there's no power-provoking prayer. You pray, your prayer is not powerful. It's, it's never been a powerful prayer. Okay. It's only power that's given in prayer. Mmm. Prayer is not powerful. Okay. How do you provoke that power? One of the things that you have to do to walk in a high level of faith is have moments where you talk to yourself. Yes. These are things that they practice in New Age, they practice other religions, even all these businessmen, they tell you believers just don't do it. Okay. It's, it's affirmation. You have to learn it's a key. It's a principle where you start to talk to yourself. Where do you see this key? David encouraged himself in the Lord. You go into the place of prayer, and in the presence of God, you encourage yourself. You're not exalting yourself. You're talking to the part of God in you. Mmm. Yeah. When you worship God, like I always say, it's God worshiping God. I was going to say, secular world, Kanye West, he made, he recorded himself when he was young. Mmm. Every single thing that he said when he was young, every single thing came to pass. There's a documentary. Every single thing he said. My gosh. And that lack of integrity we have when it comes to our words is because we don't believe in what we're saying. So sometimes you take a scripture into meditation. Who says, "This mountain be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea." "Thou shalt not doubt in thine heart, but verily believe that everything that he saith he shall have whatsoever he saith." You take that scripture, you meditate it. I'm not meditating it so that something just appears. Yeah. I'm meditating on that scripture until doubt completely withers away. Mmm. Every last ounce of it. Yeah. Okay. Makes sense. That can be my only scripture until faith has accumulated. And then once my faith has reached a certain capacity, now we see the performance. Okay. Now we see the fulfillment of the promises of God. Mmm. Okay. So power is given in prayer. Now, selfish ambition. You must understand that when God is answering prayers, God doesn't fleece his children. The reason why I fleece, I mean spoil. Okay. Yeah. So, so, if I buy you lots of sweets, and you're my child, I'm spoiling you. You're being fleeced because those sweets will rot her teeth. Mmm. So I'm not feeding according to her hunger, I'm feeding according to her lust. If it was hunger, I was trying to answer in maturity, I give her strong food. H. But in immaturity, from answering her lusts, I give her sweets. That's her craving desire. Okay. So Jesus answers us not according to the lust of our hearts, but he answers according to what we need and what's necessary. Yeah. Okay. So even still, there are some prayers and things you asked for, and you asked for it a few years ago, you're thinking, "I asked this a few years ago. I didn't, I didn't get it then." Is it because I didn't need it then? No. So you didn't need it then. Sometimes, yes, you didn't need it then. But in most cases, it's because you didn't find it in the will of God then. Okay. It was yours, but it wasn't found in his will. So because it wasn't found in his will, yes, you have a music career. I'm going to show, shut it down because that's not what the gift was for. I know you do spoken word, but it's not for jazz clubs. It's supposed to mend broken hearts. Always. He does this with footballers. Yeah. So the gift, what happens is the gift comes upon you, and you're using the wrong charisma. There's an energy that the Holy Spirit will provide to you which will empower you to go beyond your natural limitations. Yeah. So, so at that moment in time, God grants you grace. He, he gives you the grace to perform a certain gift or to work in something. He only wants to give you a taste. It's not yours to possess and inherit yet fully. Mmm. In terms of that full function. So I'd have these dreams. Some people have these dreams as prophetic dreams. You're not yet allowed to have the full intensity until there's training. But it's yours. It's been given. But the full extent, you can't handle that yet. Yeah. Okay. Mmm. Because otherwise, if you handled it without training and teaching, you'll have it outside of his will. And if you get it outside of his will, you won't sustain it. You, you just won't remain. Yeah. Okay. So this happens now, suddenly you find that God answers the prayer, and you're walking in the fulfillment and the manifestation of the promises, and you're blessed. You're pleased. "This is what I've been praying for. This is what I've been thanking God for." And then you start to feel a discomfort. The discomfort you're feeling is because God gave you that blessing or answered that prayer because he trusts you. But now you're doing things which are making you unreliable. And that part is to put you back on track. So even still, how do we do this? How do we receive miracles from God and make sure that we don't veer off into, you know, just getting the lust of our flesh satisfied and all says, well, just doing what we want? We must understand that the reason why it was given to you anyways is because he trusted you. That's why he gave it you in the first place. If he didn't trust you, you were never going to have that thing. Yeah. That God has given you now. So he gives according to what you can handle and what you can facilitate. And if he can't trust you or retain it. Yeah. But if you have it now, it's because there's a level of trust that God has given you. Mmm. And he's seeing if you can manage that area, that little influence you have, how well do you manage it? That's true. That money you have now, how well do you manage it? That realm is beyond wealth. It's called stewardship. How good are your hands at dealing with the resources that I give you? Mmm. Do that make sense? Yeah. Yeah. Are there any questions here or anything you guys want to add? That's fine. So do you know how a lot of people say about Christians, they have the faith, but they don't do the work to be able to obtain that thing? Like what you were saying, like you get the prophecy, and then you meditate on the word, and you kind of imagine it till you are there, and then after that process of growing your faith, then you're into God now where you're proclaiming those things, or whatever you proclaim happens. So what's called the realm of faith? The realm of faith. So the gift of faith. The gift of faith is whereby you're operating and you have the gift of faith. So that's revelation-powered. Mmm. Okay. And then there's the spirit of faith. Yeah. It's an unction. It's a boldness that comes upon you. The spirit of faith. So where's the transition? Where does it? Is it just the more that you, as you journey with God, Mmm. You see, you can never grow a gift if you don't use it. Your faith for that gift is minimal, and that's why you don't grow in grace around your gift. Ah, yeah. But when you use that gift often and frequently, you start to grow the grace around the gift because you also become sharper. And that sharpness that you gain and the knowledge you gain around the gift makes you more confident in God's ability within this area. Yeah. That's true. So there are people that have faith for healing, not for finances. People have faith for finances, not for healing. Kenneth Hagin, there was a time where he wanted to really grow his faith, and the faith that he had initially was minimal. So he'd be giving, he'd be sowing, but there was this time where his, he just couldn't make ends meet. He had run out of money, and he has a family to look at, to sustain his family. Mmm. And he says, "God, I'm serving, I'm doing your work, but I don't have enough money to make ends to to sustain my family. You know, where, where do we go from here?" And then the Lord communicated to him and said to him, "You trust me for healing, but you don't trust me for finances." Okay. Right. He prayed and he fasted, and he was waiting earnestly. And in essence, there was a certain amount of money that he wanted. And so the Lord led him to write the amount of money down. And then when he then took note of it, whatever the Lord then said, "Pray, believe, receive." And of course, he confessed that he believed. And the Lord says, "Now, don't revisit this prayer point again. Now, only if you pray about this amount of money, you're praying in thanks." Mmm. He then went to, uh, a service to minister. And when he went to minister at that service, he told the man of God that was there, "Don't raise an offering. Raise an offering." And then it so just happened that at the end of that service, um, they took money. They collected money. And I believe the money that they got at that moment in time was near the amount that he was trusting God for. And then he then then increased his faith. Then he asked for another amount, which was bigger than the first amount. Then when he asked for the amount which is bigger than the first amount, this time when God answered him, he got even more than the amount he had written. Yeah. This is something that I've noticed even in my life. Even when it comes to faith, there are times where I try something, I act in faith, then the first time I see a small manifestation, then the second time it opens. It happens quite a lot of times. Okay. Let's say, for instance, I'm trusting God for the ability to to heal people with cancer. You pray. The first time they say, "I feel the symptoms decreasing." That increases my faith. The second time it increases because now I've understood what didn't work first time around. And even still, I'm now more confident. Yeah. That it's not that embarrassing for someone with, with cancer. Yeah. And the second time around, now you see serious miracles break out. So your question continued. Um, that kind of ties into it, but I was just saying, where was, where's the transition? So you've kind of touched upon it from where you just have the faith regarding your situation to where now you operate in the realm of faith where whatever you do, that faith is there. And whatever, I guess, like we've, like Moses and Abraham, all of these people that were able to declare a thing and for it to come to pass, you know what I mean? So where they become gods, should I say, we know by your mouth, you know, if you live there, you talk like you're from there. That's the realm of faith. I can listen to his conversation, and even by the way he talks, I can see that he has wealth yonder, beyond this realm, because he doesn't talk like someone who's in scarcity or in lack. Even how you approach problems. Yeah. You find believers who preach at revival meetings. The moment a, oh, the moment a family member dies, the first thing they do is cry. Yeah. I don't respond like that. That's good though. Yeah. That's good. I don't. Yeah. A family member dies. I go check God. This is too soon? Is it that time? Or Mmm. Mmm. What is your position here? Yeah. Yeah. Because I'm aware sometimes, sometimes calamity happens, and it's not because you're that spiritual. Like, ah, God must always show us before it happens. No. There are times where you see it after it's happened. And it's not because God wasn't planning on solving the problem or bringing an answer, but sometimes he wants Lazarus to die first. Then once Lazarus dies, then you see the healing. Yeah. Miraculous take place. So I don't respond that way. I don't respond to fear with panic. That's not how I was trained. The Holy Spirit inside of me isn't behaving that way. So I don't behave that way. Jesus weeping when Lazarus died. He wasn't sad because he was out of power of solutions. He was weeping. I believe some people say he was weeping because he had compassion with him. Sure. Sure. But I believe he was weeping due to the lack of faith of those people. That's true. Yeah. It was sad. I'm here. The resurrection is here. And you're still sad. And that's not the first time Jesus has been present, and people still fear and panic. Yeah.

It happens multiple times, and it happened so many times with our ancestors, the children of Israel. Where God is near, but they respond like He's far. That's also the sign you've transitioned into the realm of Faith. How do you respond to adversity? How do you handle conflict? If your first response is fear and panic, we know you haven't obtained a good report.

That's true. Yeah, yeah. Let me show you something here. Look at Judges chapter 12, from verse 5 to 6. It says here, "And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites. And when the Ephraimites that were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said nay; Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand."

Do you know what they were doing? What were they doing? They were qualifying to see who was one of their natives. If it's one of them, they can pronounce "Shibboleth." If you can't pronounce it, you're not one of us. Okay? And one of the things is that so clearly obvious is the distinct pronunciation from tribe to tribe. You have our word, you don't have our accent. You lack the boldness. The, the, the heaven has its own accent. Yeah, there's a way Kingdom citizens act. That's good. That's what Satan says. So Satan sat, Satan comes, and he takes them captive. Christians say, "Say Shibboleth," and then you say, "And he says, Paul, we know Jesus, we know. But who are you?" Yeah, you said the right word, you had the wrong accent. So they check, they assess. How do you say these things? Has God taught your mouth to, to speak? This is called the realm of Faith. Yes, you don't only speak intrinsically. Just like the lion walks proudly and boldly. Bible says the righteous bold is a lion. Your conversation, your speech is bought. You buy without money. Before the money's arrived, you've already said what you're going to do. Yes. Where did you get the budget? I'm not spending from here. Yes, I have an infinite resource. Yeah. So even your negotiations in business, yeah, when problems and conflicts arise, there's an accent you have. There's a speech you've developed. It's called Spirit speech. Yes, it's the saying of truth. It's backed by the supernatural economy of heaven, and it can't be exhausted. Yeah, their resources are infinite. And that's something that you have to ask yourself now. If you've stepped into that realm of Faith, yeah, what do you say about your circumstance and your situation? Based on what we'll say, we'll know your true rank. Say, "Shibboleth." Say, "I'm healed." "I'm healed in Jesus' name." Amen. And then you go out. Ah, yeah. "I'm probably going to die, man." Mhm. There are so many people do that, you know. Have crazy, like, yeah, it's crazy how many people when you say, uh, "This is your year," they say, "Amen." See what they do from January to March, you'll know what their accent was. You'll know what they really believe. Yeah.

That's true. That's very true. You, you, you can fake it only for so long. Yeah. It's just like how, for example, in secondary school, we'd have exams. Now, there are those that just fail verbatim. They say they've revised, and the teacher asks them the question, and when they answer the question, it's proof you haven't revised. Mhm. Then there were those that were a bit smarter than that. They'd answer the question because they copied the answer. Yeah. But then sometimes the teacher would ask them to show the workings out. Yeah. Mhm. Then that's where they get, they get caught. Yeah, yeah. Then there were those that were even superior to that rank. Yes. They copied the answer, they copied the workings out. So the teacher will never be able to trace. Oh, so you don't even need to know the workings out. You can copy the workings out, and they still pass. The teachers qualify them as a smart student. Yeah, yeah. But then ultimately, we'll all go in that exam room. Yes. Ah, yeah. And you'll sit five meters apart from the person you normally copy. And then, yeah, the lessons you skipped on that day. When everybody collects their results, we know. Did you really have the accent?

Okay, I know you say you have faith, but your, your life, the only testimony you have, you've been a believer for 20. The only testimony you can tell us is when you came to Christ 20 years ago. Come on. Yeah. I'm not negating the, the, the testimony of salvation. Glory to God for your salvation. That's what He's done. In 20 years, come on, man. Yeah. There has to be more to this God. Yeah. I've seen Him do greater miracles. Or other miracles. Of course, the greatest gift and miracle we have is salvation, but there are other things He can do.

So would you say the faith ties into how much you know of God and how much you've personally experienced? 'Cause I feel like this generation, a lot of people lack that one-on-one experience or knowing who God is for themselves. So their faith is kind of tainted because they don't fully have that knowledge or fully have that experience with Him, if that makes any sense.

The more faith you have, the more of God's ability you have at your disposal. So your knowing of Him matters. Okay? It counts significantly. Knowing on Him. Okay? Right. Yeah. So, so you start to know Him. Mmm. You understand Him. Intimacy becomes your currency. Okay? Because no good thing will He withhold from the righteous. You're known to be the righteousness of God. And on the basis of the access you have to My throne, I'm willing to give unto you. Okay? Okay. And I'll allow you to receive more. The reason why God will allow you to receive more and He's willing to give to you is because I've known you on the basis of a son, not just a servant. That now brings you into a different jurisdiction of authority. Okay? As to where you were formerly. Mmm. Yeah. Yeah.

There's a lot that I would want to touch on on faith. Maybe we'll even just, um, we have to continue this area of faith because I believe that where we're going, faith is going to be so instrumental and so important, especially in these end times and these last days with what God wants to establish. Yeah. The Bible says, says, when the Son of Man comes back, will He find any faith on the earth? In other words, times will become so scarce and so difficult, so terrible, that only those that have the word of God in their hearts will survive. Yeah, yeah. And so even if you can no longer afford to buy food for your children, and you borrow from your neighboring church, it means that you're being sustained by their faith. You live from their faith in their priesthood. Wow. Because your faith and your priesthood isn't enough to empower your own house. Those are the times we're coming into. When I come back, would there be faith here on Earth? It will become so scarce because there will be so many fig trees around you contradicting the mind of God and the word of the Lord. Yeah, yeah.

Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for Your children. Take them deeper, take them higher. May their faith increase. And Lord, I pray and I trust that even in this hour, You're restoring hope. Your word says a hope deferred makes the heart sick. Let their hope be restored, that their heart isn't sick, and that they will see themselves the way You see them. Bless them, increase them, enlarge them. In Jesus' name, amen.

Amen. Thank you all so much. I pray you're blessed by this, uh, session and this teaching, and that the Lord will help you grow your faith. And even through this teaching, you'll continue to grow your faith. And I want to challenge you all to trust God for more. Amen. And to ask God for bigger, as long as you delight yourself in His word, delight yourself in His word, and He will give you the desires of your heart. It's been a blessing. Thank you so much, Diana.
