Transcript: Faith and The New Creation Part 1

Listen to this message

Prepared from the audio, so small errors are possible.

This message is from believers equipped, a meeting organized by the Disciples Christian Network where the word of God is taught with practicality and believers are raised to reign in life. Join apostle Emmanuel as he walks us through the word of God. So much to discuss today. Ephesians chapter one. I'm gonna start a series this evening. And you'll be very, very blessed. I think it's I think it's I think it's very good to be excited when the word of God is about to do. Amen. I think it's good build that culture of excitement at the word that you know that your life is about to change. You're about to hear something again that will shift you.

Something again that will change you. Something again that will challenge you. I'll be speaking on what I've titled new creation realities. New creation reality is part one. My intention in this is to ensure that you stand on two legs. So that you would be... You would know exactly how results are birthed. So my intention is to stand on two legs. That's why if you're in this part one, you should not, it's a two part series. If you're here now, you should not miss the second part of this series.

So that you can stand on two legs. If you only hear what I'm saying today, you will be very strong on one foot. Do you understand what I'm saying? A lot of it. So pay attention very very carefully. Ephesians chapter one verse 15, the Bible says, therefore, I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and your love for all the saints. I do not cease to give thanks for you. Making mention of you in my prayers. In my prayers, verse 17 says, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, now he says he's making mention of them in their prayers, but he doesn't reveal what is the content of that prayer. So in verse 17, it goes on to reveal what that prayer point is.

And he says that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. What is the prayer? That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory may give you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. And this was Paul's prayer. That you have that the spirit of wisdom and revelation is given to you. Let me give you an advice as believers. Take this prayer and pray it for one year. That's what I did. That's what I did. Just make it your prayer point for one year.

Go on that project. And see what happens after. You will open scriptures and you're you're amazed at what your eyes will see. You would speak and people would wonder, is this the same scripture? And beyond that, it would be the level of light that you receive yourself. That you are able to apply in the word. Beyond just the fact that you are able to explain scriptures, it is that you see light for yourself. Scriptures begin to jump into your spirit, your eyes open to see. The Bible says that this was the prayer that Paul was praying. That your eyes open.

That the spirit of wisdom and revelation is given unto you. Amen. Look at the next verse. It says in the next verse that the highs of your understanding is enlightening. That is the prayer. For you begin to pray in tongues. The highs of my understanding is enlightened. The highs of my understanding is enlightened. The spirit of wisdom and revelation is given to me. The highs of my understanding.

Make this a practice. Believe your heart and your praying in terms of prayer walking just with declaring it. The eyes of my understanding is enlightened. The eyes of my understanding is enlightened. I think it was Kenneth Hagin that said he prayed this prayer for ten years. Ten years. You know the kind of discipline it takes to do that? Yes. Discipline. It's not just something out of life.

You discipline yourself. That this, I wanna stay on this. I wanna see the result of this in my life. Because if understanding comes and the and the highs of your understanding is truly enlightened, the result that begin to follow your life becomes abnormal. You step out of the normal and you step into a realm of unusual supernatural results. When your eyes of the understanding is enlightened, it says that you may know what is the hope of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. What is the exceeding greatness of his power toward also believe according to the working of his mighty power which he walked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. May God bless the reading of his word. Amen. I've noticed a challenge in the Christian faith.

And that challenge is that where a lot of people speak the language of faith. But when you look closely, you don't see the evidence of it in their lives. They make the right confessions. They quote scriptures. They attend meetings. They fast. They pray. But the question remains, if it is truly at work, why does it produce consistent results in some people's lives? And why does it look as though it's not producing the same level of result in other people's lives? Do you understand what I'm saying?

Yes, sir. Why do they not work in the tangible manifestations of what they believe and they declare? This contradiction between confession and manifestation is a legitimate burden in the heart of many believers. And if we are honest, it raises deep questions in the heart of people. Why isn't this thing working for me like it works for others? And we are searching for the reconciliation between what we see and what we actually see in our lives. There was a time early in my ministry. I was ministering somewhere, and I stood and I said, if there's anybody who has a sickness in any part of their body, put your hands there, and they all did. It was a large meeting. And I started praying for the sick, and I told them, come out if you've been healed.

And people came out, started coming out one by one, and their sermons were being taken. Their sermons were being taken. And all of a sudden, there was some kind of dissatisfaction in my spirit that I could not explain. I didn't just like the kinds of things I was hearing. And it made me wonder, is this all that we have in this place? Are you telling me that there's no one with some terrible affliction here? And with that hunger, I went inside the crowd. And I was looking, some people were following me. And I was looking for someone with some terrible affliction. And all of a sudden, I saw a young man with casts all over the hand from here to here, was casted.

Asking what has happened to you? And he said, broke my hand. Oh, I was looking for you. I took the cast and started it was it was more like a serious wrapping of bandage really, very huge. And I took it and started tearing it off his hand almost without pity for his condition. Didn't even ask him when it was put there. It might have been yesterday that he broke the hand. If that was the case, I will probably be more careful. But I didn't ask. This thing just jumped inside of me and I started tearing off the cast.

Tearing off this wrap of bandages. And I told him, stretch the hand. And he started stretching the hand. Started stretching the hand. Any pain, no pain. He was as surprised as they... As everybody was there. But since... At that point, I was not surprised. Because I was like, if you saw the kind of boldness I had, you would know that would not have surprised me.

Come on now. You cannot be tearing some... Off someone and then you'll be surprised. That wouldn't make sense. I said, oh, I'm feeling... There's no pain. Why were you why were you now tearing it off? And the guy was moving his arm. Well, there are people around me then. Some of them might still be here.

I might remember that. And while I was still going, moving up and down, I was just searching for afflictions. I got home that night and then I started thinking. And I said, wait a minute. That is not Emmanuel. We would have done that on a normal day. I started picturing myself. Could I have clearly have seen that guy on your regular day, and I've walked up to him and say, bring that thing and start tearing it off? What exactly happened in that meeting? Because the problem is that if we don't understand this kind of things, we will stumble into realities and stumble out.

Because it was the first time that something like that was happening. That required my active involvement. It wasn't the first time I was seeing healings. I had seen a crooked person become strict. The person had a hunchback. And the person stood up straight. Now that was happening when I was worshipping God. I was just worshipping and God just healed somebody. But this was the first time I had hacked, this was many years ago by the way. I was actively involved in the participation.

And the person would tell me, it is God. He could move his hand, he could move everything. I said what? I started asking a lot of questions in my spirit. I wanted to understand what exactly happened. Because I didn't want to be like many believers who stumble into realities but don't understand the laws that govern that reality and so they cannot reproduce it. That's what happened to many believers. We stumble in and then we stumble out. We cannot remain into experiences that we have had. And a lot of people listening to me have had similar experiences where you experience some kind of supernatural result in your life, but could not explain how it came to be.

And because you could not explain it, you did not understand exactly how to stay in it. You are the one that first Kings chapter three and verse seven is describing when he said, I am as a child, as a little child. I do not know how to go out or how to come in. It's about spiritual navigation, knowing how to enter and remain in realms of power, knowing how to enter and remain in realms of glory, knowing how to enter and remain in realm of manifestations. Inconsistency in spiritual realities is often a sign of disconnection from spiritual laws. One day it works, another day it doesn't work. And over time, people develop wrong doctrines to explain away their failure. And sometimes God moves, sometimes God doesn't move. So I can come to them and say, oh, I've seen terrible manifestations of God's power. Let the power of God move in this place right now.

And tangible signs start happening. People start going hard under the power because I declared it. And sometimes I might not even declare it. I might just be ministering and and worshiping and praying or teaching and people start going out under the power. And I say my goodness, this is a reality that exists. And I try to do it the following time and it all places as calm as anything. And then I leave that place disappointed, but I would form a theology that you know what? God didn't just want to move. Because you know, if he wants to, he will. If he doesn't want to, you can't force God.

And these are all theologies that look as though they make sense. But they don't. Are you with me? Yes sir. That's not faith talking. It is insecurity wrapped in theology. It is emotion dressed in spiritual language. And sometimes we use spiritual lingo to explain a way out of confusion. And we think that we are making sense when we do so. Whereas we are not.

And some people start misquoting scriptures just to defend their lack of results. How about people who have worked in an experience maybe of favor? That they stumbled into. And you know, the fear of this reality, the fact that people are actually aware that this thing that worked, I stumbled into it, is why they are afraid because they don't know how to make it happen again. So if somebody favored me for instance and the person say a huge door opened, I'm very careful to ensure that I manage that experience very well. I don't exhaust it fast because I don't know when next it will come. Because the wisdom to multiply, the wisdom to step into it again and again and experience that result at will has not been given. Are you with me? Yes sir. So I started looking for answers, and my quest for answers made me start asking some serious questions.

And these questions remain valid in the light of several believers even today. And subconsciously several people are asking the same things, question like, why are some areas of my life flowing in the supernatural while other areas are just dry and unresponsive? Why that I command some level of result in some area, but when I try it in other areas, it does not respond? Why is it that I seem to have mastery over a particular dimension of results and possibilities, But when I try to apply the same to some other area of my life, I don't seem to get result in it. Are you with me? Yes, sir. And the truth is because a lot of believers do not have the understanding of the life we have been called into. And as such, they don't know how to apply faith. Because you see, faith is not just a random act. It is not just a principle you use like a key to open a door.

And that is how we teach faith. We teach faith like it's a principle, it's a key and really, really, in some sense, it is. But in the broad view of things, it is not. Are you with me? Yes sir. Let me give you another example of what I'm saying. Prayer for instance. In some sense, is a key. It's a principle. In the broad view of things, it is more than just a principle because it's a lifestyle.

Let me make it more clear to you. So when I face certain challenges, what do you do? You pray. But do you pray only when you face challenges? A key is something you only need when you are in front of a closed door. So if you limit certain things to just a principle, you would misunderstand the broad concept of it. You would not know that prayer for instance is how we live as believers. That's the same way many people don't know that faith is how we live as believers. Not just what we apply. That's the reason why a lot of people's faith fail.

The same way the brake of a car can fail. There is not a thing called brake failure. That's the way we have faith failure. I hope you know that brake failure usually does not happen when the car is parked. 90% of the time, brake failure happens when in motion. And you're on your way. And as you're making progress, you are moving, you are driving. You then want to avoid a ditch, slow down because a car is in front of you. The point where you need it the most, You attempt to step on the brake to reduce your pace and you find out. And the brake is gone.

In other words, it is in the face of circumstances where you need it that you realize that the break has failed. That is the same thing as faith failure. That's exactly how faith failure happens. It's not in your house you realize that your faith has failed. You didn't get what I'm trying to tell you. Yeah. Break failure doesn't just happen. The mechanic will tell you that there are many things you look out for in the car to ensure that the brake does not fail. You check the brake oil. As you press the brake, you try to hear these sounds, whispering sounds when you apply the brake that could suggest that the brake pads are already gone.

And if you don't pay attention to these things, a time will come when the brake will fail. So it's not something that just happens. It's a progressive thing. It means you have ignored many things. Do you get my point? Yes sir. That's exactly how faith failure happens. So if it failed in time of circumstances, it is because you have ignored many things. So the Bible says, if you fail in the day of adversity, it is not because the adversity was too big. It is because your strength is small.

Do you understand what I'm saying? And so if we are not careful and we use this concept as just principles, just to open doors, just to stop challenges, oh, my mother is sick, ah, I have faith, I have faith. You see that promising now? A time will come where you will experience failure because you have missed the larger concept of things. And when that failure happens, you will now give a theology as to why it happened. You will say it's not every time. Do you understand what I'm saying? Because you don't understand the laws. And when you don't understand the laws, you will attribute what has just happened to several indices that might not be the case because you lack understanding. You lack the technical know how.

I invited a mechanic to my house. You need to calm down. You need to calm down. I invited... He was an engineer who is specialized in repairing generators. And he was brought over to my house, and he was the best we could find because several has come. But this guy has boasted of his resume. And so we brought him over, and he had fixed the generator initially of something that was wrong with it. And five days after, I was using that same generator, and I heard a loud bang. I knew instantly that, hey.

Tom, that's that's the engine. So I went to check it, and the engine of the generator has knocked. So I checked the oil. There was coil in it. I said, okay. There's oil in it. Then why did it knock? I checked the foil. There was foil in it. Okay.

Alright. Let's wait for the engineer to come. When the engineer comes, he will be able to explain to me this mystery or this. According to my knowledge, there is oil. An engine should only knock if there is no oil in it. Glory to God. And there was oil in it, sufficient enough. So the morning, the engineer came with one of my guys. And the guy was... They were talking and the guy was talking to me on WhatsApp.

Sir, he said that, did you just pour oil after the generator went off? I said, no now. That doesn't make sense now. I found out that the engine of the generator has knocked. I would now pour oil half time. Think about it. So we told him that we didn't just pour oil. And my guy could not give me a feedback because I didn't know that he was already hearing strange things. So I went outside. I said, young man, you were the one who came to come and repair this generator five days ago.

And now we are having this issue again. When I came five years ago, five days ago, I didn't come because the engine knocked. I came because of this issue, that issue, that issue. Said, okay. So why has this... The engine knocked now? Did you just pour the oil? I said, no. I didn't just pour the oil. The oil is there.

If oil is there, he said, ah, it's not ordinary. Listen. Listen. I asked him, I said, I'm I'm confused. What are you saying? What do you mean it's not ordinary? He said, oh,. Oh, how are you living? I asked him, I said, no. You're not making sense.

Say, This is my seventh year in Repent Generator. I did not learn in Ibadan. I learned in Lekki in Lagos. I just moved to Ibadan. I'm not a small boy. I said this thing is not ordinary. And it just reminds me of how believers talk when it does not work. That's the same way we form theologies because we just don't know. So we try to give a reason and we assume that for it not to have worked. The problem is not because I don't know.

The problem must be something else. And the only thing you can blame it on is God did not want to move. Are you getting this notation? And if you think that faith is just a key that opens many doors, then your understanding of faith and your ability to get results with faith will be very limited. You will come into several crisis of faith failures. Jesus told Peter, he said, sit and desire to sift you as wheat, but I've prayed for you that your faith should not fail. Are you with me? So if faith is not just a key or a principle, what then must you understand about faith that makes it functional? What you must understand about faith is that faith flows from identity. Write it down.

Because this is something about faith that has rarely been taught or emphasized in the body of Christ. A lot of believers think that faith is just something that we do. And they do not understand that faith flows from identity especially God's kind of faith. It was Kenneth Hagin that brought the revelation to us when teaching us faith that when Jesus said have faith in God, the literal translation was have the God kind of faith. So believers by default have faith for many things. But if you would have the God kind of faith and in studying the God kind of faith, you would understand that God is not applying faith simply as a principle. God is applying faith from who he is as God. The faith that God applies flows from his nature as God. Don't worry, you'd understand. You'd understand.

So if you do not understand that faith flows from identity, you would have a problem deploying faith. It would work sometime. It won't work other times. And the other times when it works, you will not be able to attribute a reason to why it did not work. Faith flows from identity, An identity flows from your understanding of salvation. Without that understanding, faith becomes something you try to apply externally. Like a makeup. Externally hardened but not intrinsically lived. In Galatians chapter six verse 15, it was Paul that was speaking and he said something very very powerful. He says, for in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision please pay attention here.

For in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything. Do you know what that means? That means but a new creation. So neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything but a new creation. That means everything rises and falls on this truth. Are you working in the reality of the new creation? Because that is the foundation. If a believer does not understand what it means to be a new Christian in Christ Jesus, faith will fail. Faith will remain theoretical. It will just be beautiful words.

Impressive confessions. But carries no weight in the spirit. You cannot exercise dominion in a realm whose laws you do not understand. In the book of Job chapter 38 verse 33, God was the one speaking to Job and God asked Job a question. Do you know the ordinances of heaven? And can you set their dominion over the earth? In other words, you exercise dominion on the earth with respect to the understanding of the ordinances of heaven. Are you with me? Dominion is attached to your understanding of ordinances. That is why you can find a Christian who can quote all the right things, attend every program and still be oppressed, still be sick, still be broke, still be confused because he's trying to walk in dominion without the knowledge of the ordinances.

The question God asked Job is, do you know the ordinances? Can you set their dominion over the earth? Do you know the laws, the principles? By understanding that laws, can you therefore work in dominion on the earth? Are you with me brothers and sisters? Because the operation of faith is not just a religious activity. It's about spiritual alignment with truth. And that truth begins with who you are in Christ. And a lot of believers do not understand that basic truth. So you find lots of frustrated believers today because they are applying faith as a technique, as a principle.

Without understanding the life that makes faith operational. That's why it works sometime and another time it doesn't work. But when you are taught and grounded in the reality of who you are, On grounds of the gift of salvation. That you are a new creation, born of God, carrying the spirit of God, authorized in his name. Faith flows naturally. Miracles don't become pressure points. Miracle becomes normal. You don't panic to heal the sick. You don't panic to believe for provision. You live from a place of knowing.

Not guessing. So if you have tried to apply faith in your finances in your healing, in your calling, but nothing is shifting, ask yourself, am I operating from understanding or am I operating from assumption? Do I understand what it means to be saved? Don't understand who I am because of this? Because if that foundation is wrong, everything that is built on it will be inconsistent. Are you with me? Yes sir. Faith does not start in your mouth. It starts in your identity. So that revelation of who you are gives rise to what you can believe for.

Be... Gives rise to what you can command. So I said that if the Bible says have the God kind of faith, the God kind of faith is operational because of the nature of God. So it begins from identity. Let me be more practical. Does a lion need faith to roar? A lion roars, why? Because it's a it's a lion. What of an honey man that is not a lion? Say a dog.

And a dog wants to roar. That dog will need a lot of faith. Because he's trying to do something that is outside of the confines of his identity. So what becomes a struggle for the dog, The lion will do by nature. I'm saying that if you do not understand identity, you will struggle. If you do, you will do by nature What others struggle to do. It is when you are telling people the results that people will now be telling you my goodness, that is faith. Because you would not even know that you are working in faith. You're not getting what I'm saying again. A point comes that doing big things becomes your nature.

So how that he organized a program with some colleagues of his. When he was talking to them, you know, some people came together to organize the program. When he was talking to them, they were looking for what venue to use, and then they went to a venue, all of them, and it was about a 300 seater venue and broken chairs, broken everything, and the guy just said, okay, I think this is good. The guy said, ah ah, this girl. Almost as though he was expecting that all of them were seeing the same thing he was seeing. But when he saw that they were not seeing this thing, how can this be good? No. How many people are you expecting? Don't you realize that we're expecting more people than this? Besides, this is not excellent enough.

Let's go and look for other places. Now the guy talking might have been thinking about many indices. Indices such as how will people come. Are you sure that we even reach up to that number? It's not better that we are safe. How about the money? How about the finances? How about taking care of these people? How about the buses? How about the...

There are many indices that those guys must have been thinking about that he wasn't factoring at that moment because it is a thing of nature. Do you understand what I'm saying? So at that point, you are not thinking, I'm trusting God. I'm I'm just applying faith. You're you're just, you're just flowing. You're just working. You're just moving. You're not... No. You're not getting this thing yet.

You're not getting this thing yet. Yeah. I do... I'm gonna do something to your soul. I'm telling you. When this thing enters you, you would find out that doing big things is easier. You will find that doing big things is easier than doing small things. You will realize that it is harder for someone of your nature to do things in a small way. That's what we are trying to say. Because if we talk like this, you who is not in inside that bracket, who understand what we are saying?

You say, are you saying it's easier to plan a large conference in ICC than to plan one in a classroom? How is that easier? And your mind is calculating the amount of money that goes into stage alone. And you say, paying for that venue alone is around 6,000,000 naira. If I have 6 millionaire now, I'll not go and use that one just to buy venue. And if you convince that guy, now go and organize that conference, there will be faith failure. I tell you I'm excited in my spirit. I told you on Sunday that nobody should miss this. Yes, sir. And I meant...

I really meant what I said. I really really did. At times when the Lord starts speaking to me about what he wants me to say to people, I just start seeing the future of what I've said. When people starts going out with it because they have become it. Are you with me? Yeah. Do you know that birds hunt? And the larger the bird, larger the type of things that they hunt or that they prey. So there are birds that hunt for insects. Right?

What? Worms. There are birds that hunt for worms. Is that not so? Yes, sir. That's food to them. They're satisfied. The eagle can hunt for rodents. The eagle can hunt for snakes, larger things. Is that not so?

Yes, sir. You're not... You'll not see... You rarely see the eagle hunting for worm. So when the eagle is gazing, it's gazing from the depths to look for a prey that fits its capacity. His eyes is not scanning for worms. Then you proceed to a lion. Can you imagine a lion running up and down? And it's going up and down. And when you are scanning, now find that it's it's a rat.

Know you will struggle to even... You know you will struggle. It will struggle to catch that thing even though it is small. But you find a lion going after a giraffe. You find... Have you have you seen bulls? As big as they are, you find lions going after... It is easier to do big things. So it's a thing, it's a thing of nature, it's a, it's a thing of identity. If you are not in that bracket, you won't understand.

So if you still thinking small. I'm showing you the problem now. Showing the problem now. Someone someone just wake up and say, wait, I can make 20,000,000 now. Are you seeing it now? Yes, sir. It just it just makes sense. All the lines will just connect. Phew. You'll just see, this is what I need to do.

That's what I need to do. This is I need. Uh-uh. Because when the bible said the the righteous is as bold, you you need... You have not yet studied that creature. Someone is breaking out of smallness. I heard a man of God say, and I like listening to people like that. Don't listen to managerial people oh. The man of God said, we held our first conference as students. Students oh.

When When we are in 300 level, in Trench Art Hall. Our first, not third, not fifth, not sixth. This is what ministries do after ten years oh. And they celebrate. So we had our our students In Trentard Hall in UI. This was in 2016. Or fifteen year about. He said when people heard the amount of money we spent, they said they say ah ah, why don't you go and buy land? That if you have spent that, how much was the money that was spent? Was not even up to...

Wasn't even up to 1,000,000 In thousand and sixteen. The man said, I couldn't understand what they were saying. Because it it seemed reasonable to me that trench card is what we should be using. So when the when they started saying, I could see if I say ah, so what other place should we use? My spiritual father is coming for this meeting. That is what is befitting of of of of. That's why people should hear the word of God. It's okay, but we should buy land. When it is time to buy land, we will cough and the money for land will come. The man of God told me, he said, do you know that land they were speaking about in 2016?

They have bought it. And guess how much they bought it? 150,000,000 naira. Stressless. No. Easily. Land that even if it was 2,000,000 naira in 2016, There's a way you will not think again. That's why I began with that scripture that the eyes of your understanding be enlightened. Because you will you will really need it. Really.

Really. I told someone. I said I told someone. Said, I already see some amount of money in 7 figures in the marketplace. I just looked looked at it and I said, I told someone I said, I'm I'm I'm crossing. I'm crossing. I'm tired of this range that I see. The the the burden of the kingdom is too large. This is no longer sufficient. I need to cross.

And I told and I told the person I said, I need to cross. Before the end of this month, I want my monthly this to be that and that. And I mentioned very very unreasonable figures to the man who lacks faith. But if you are inside that bracket, it makes sense. Sir. Make sense. And I was... I I started stretching out. I started... I wasn't it wasn't as though I was now saying, hey.

Now we are trusting God for this. Now we are working in this. Now then, I thought he said, this is what we're doing right now. This is what I'm on... This is what I'm getting to. And I started making move like that, submitting things, applying things, dropping things, going places, optimizing things. And all of a sudden, the first person reaches out to me and said, oh, I just saw your profile. I work with a company in Sweden. I want you to work with us. I said, One.

Yes, the other person reached me. He said I saw your post on this and that, on this platform. You must be a professional when it comes to this and that. I said, oh, yes, I am. We need you for this, this, this, this, this, this. Can I know you? Where are you from? Oh, I'm the CEO of so and so from Colombo. I'm looking for someone and I saw your post. I just know you were the person for it.

Is that okay? Two? It flows from identity. That's where you make moves from. That's where you step out from. And that's stepping out, that making moves is so natural to you. That you won't even know that what you are doing is fit. That's why. That's why. When in Genesis, the Bible says God said let there be light.

The Bible never said and God declared by faith. It was all the Bible said was let there be light. Because he was speaking from his nature. But when Hebrews wanted to capture the same story, Hebrews now said, by faith. So you mean in Genesis, what was happening was faith? That's what the Bible says by faith. We understand that the walls were framed by the word of... So it was fit. Yet, all we saw was, let there be light. Let there be this.

Let there be that. And it was forming as God was saying it. There's a way you start talking from this meeting. There's someone that you are buying up businesses. Buying land, buying up properties. Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Listen. Listen.

Listen. Listen. Listen. Sometimes, when you are close to a man of God, you you get to see some things. Do know majority of the things I come to announce in this place? That we announce as though we are all the money in the word for it. You need to go and check. You need to go and check. Manifest conference will be the biggest we have ever done, and everybody is shouting. Everybody is screaming.

Do you know how much money would go into that? And we talk as to the money that we have the money since last year. I'm telling you that this thing is deferred. How else would we speak? Everybody just sit down so that we can teach. Sit down. Sit down. They've not even started stirring the waters yet. Sit down. Sit down.

So yes, faith works oh. It works. But only to the extent that your understanding of who you are is accurate. And if that if that foundation is weak, your faith will keep on looking like efforts with no results. But if that foundation is strong, then the works of faith becomes natural. They flow from your spiritual DNA. You won't just be speaking faith. You will be working in faith. You will demonstrate it. You will live it.

This is where it all begins. Let it sink in. Let it sink in. Faith is not something that you use. It is what you live. That's why the bible says the just shall live by faith. And that life flows from one place. The revelation of who you are in Christ. Philemon chapter one verse six, the Bible says, that the communication of your faith. The word communication is the word koinonia.

And koinonia in this context means the sharing of your faith or the distribution of your faith. That's what kononia means. It means sharing or distribution. So the Bible says that the distribution of your faith. The sharing of your faith becomes effectual. The word effectual there is the word energies. And energies means active. Energies means powerful. Energies means operative. So it means the distribution of your faith becomes powerful, becomes operative, becomes active.

Right? Yes sir. Through the acknowledging, acknowledging there is the word hypnosis. And epignosis means full revelation. It means full discernment of full revelation. So the distribution of your faith becomes powerful, active. Right? Sir. And operative by the full revelation, full discernment of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. It's basically saying that your Christian life becomes powerful when you have a full revelation of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus.

No, that he does not say it becomes powerful by knowing the good things in you in Christ. He says, every, not some. Every. That means a believer that does not know the good things which is in him in Christ will be a believer whose faith will not be operative. That's a frustrated believer. Such a believer will pray and his prayers will go unanswered. Such a believer will be plagued by demons in his finances. He will be afflicted and in his head, there will be all kinds of shame. He cannot demonstrate his faith because he does not have a full revelation of the good things which are in him in Christ Jesus. It means that makes your Christian faith powerful are already inside of you.

Let me say it again. The things that make your Christian faith powerful are already inside of you. Are you with me? Yes, sir. The thing that make a Christian faith powerful are not gonna come to you. They are already in you. And you be... It becomes effectual when you have a full revelation of those things. When you begin to come into the awareness of those things, but beyond the awareness, the hypnosis. Oneness with this knowledge.

Of who you are and what is in you. Are you with me? Who you are and what is in you. So going back to that scripture that I started with, in Galatians chapter six of verse 15, the bible says for in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything but a new creation. In other words, your ability to hand favor by what you do, which is typified by circumcision, or your failure to meet religious expectations, which is typified by uncircumcision counts for absolutely nothing in the sight of God. What you do, what you don't do. It just counts for nothing. I hope you know that the context here is Paul speaking about an argument of circumcision whether the Gentiles should be circumcised or not because they believe that it was true circumcision that they were saved. And that is how their Christian faith became effectual and powerful. And the Jews wanted to reject Gentiles who have not been circumcised.

And Paul says, even what you do that you think that is the reason why you end favor. And the ones who are not doing that same thing and you have disqualified them by religious expectations. Both of them avails nothing. Both of them means nothing. Give me the amplified version. For one, two, three, go. The bible says neither is circumcision anything of any importance nor on circumcision anything of any importance, what is then anything and of all importance? Only a new creation. Which is the result of a new birth. A spiritual transformation, a new nature in Christ Jesus.

Oh Jesus. He says, what counts is that you become a new creation? That is the entire foundation of the Christian life. That is the starting point of all faith. That is the starting point of all power. That is the starting point of all grace. That is the starting point of all righteousness. The core of everything is where are you living from. Are you living from the place of your new experience or your new birth experience in Christ Jesus? But unfortunately, a lot of believers or let me say ministers, myself inclusive because we don't speak as ones that have attained.

We we don't speak from a place of judgment. We speak from a place of love and grace. Are you with me? Yes, sir. A lot of ministers have sincerely yet ignorantly build their entire ministries on what God never prioritized. And I'm not saying this from your place of judgment. I'm saying this from your place of love because there is a type of Christianity that we have built that is grossly powerless in manifesting dominion because of this. Because we have focused on circumcision. What to do in order to attain? And the argument is literally between circumcision and uncircumcision.

You might not understand this if you're not mature. And because of this theological debate, and the bible says none of them is of importance to God. Yet for many years, this has been the basis of our doctrine. This has been the basis of our debates in the African church. Take for instance, the strong doctrinal wave that swept across Nigeria when we're growing up. The emphasis... Even before we're growing up, the emphasis on generational curses, we were taught that what your ancestors did in the past has placed a yoke over your life. So every misfortune that you experience, whether poverty, whether sickness, whether delay, or barrenness was automatically traced to the sin of your grandfather or your great grandmother. We also talked about the reality of strong powers, strong men, and strong women that exist in the father's house, that exist in the mother's house, that manipulate the lots of people in destiny from their ancestry. So that if you have a strong man and you notice in your father's house, things will not work for you.

There will be all kind of misfortune in your life, misfortune in your family, misfortune around your wealth, misfortune around your business, your destiny can be stopped and pegged because there are powers. There was also such a large emphasis on dependence on profits and their visions to make everyday decisions. Where the average believer cannot take a decision on marriage, on where to go, on what to do except by as decided by prophets. When names of four or five people are taken to a prophet as options of who to marry And the prophet scans by divination. Scans by prophetic insight. And says, ah, this one. No. That one. No. This one.

No. This one. That is a person you should buy. People have been misled. People have... It has... It is so bad that people have been told that, you know what? When you go to your workplace tomorrow morning, there would be a young man wearing red clothes that is gonna be who you would marry. Listen. You would think it's a joke, but it is true.

Residue of this thing is still following so many people in this generation, and there are so many people who still believe that this is true. And not that it is not true. There's a reason why God places authorities around your life. Are you with me? But when you search scriptures, you'll find that subjects such as marriage are not decided based on prophetic visions and prophetic words. It is decided based on scriptural wisdom. So even if an authority tells you that you shouldn't go in this direction, it's not based... It shouldn't be based on a prophetic vision. It should be based on wisdom from scripture. In other words, it should be based on the fact that we have studied this person very well, and we know you will suffer.

That should be it. Not that you have seen something, you have seen something. It means there are cracked up flaws. There are all kind of things that you may have been blind to see. I heard a story from a man of God who was sharing how that his younger sister wanted to marry, and the guy that he wanted to marry used her name in the bank and her documents in the bank to go and collect a loan in the bank. He went to go and put the money inside one Ponzi scheme and lost everything. When it was time to pay back the loan, the bank started looking for the lady. And the guy was nowhere to be found. And this lady had a car that she wanted to sell to ensure that they can pay back the loan. The guy was the one using the car.

They called the guy and said, okay. Give us back the car. Let us sell and be able to pay back this loan. The guy is the guy is said that you you are sending me back to Ground 0 that how will somebody that is using the car not not have the car again to use. And in all of this, listen, the man of God said he called his contact in Kilikri and told them, create a space for me. Listen. Create a space for me over there. When steps were taken, actions were taken, they went immediately to go and get the car. And the guy humbled himself. In all of this, the lady still said, I want to marry him.

He said, create a space. After they were done with that, the lady still wanted to get married to the young man. The man of God said, our love language is foolishness. Glory to God. And there are people like that because what became the indices of that council is wisdom from scripture. It is wisdom from scripture. Do you understand what I'm saying? But the residue is so strong that we believe that if you have not seen some vision, we don't even know how to be led by God again except by dependence on prophets. And this was an old testament model, A model that came because the people could not handle the glory of God in their fallen nature. God wanted to reveal himself to all the Israelites, and he made himself manifest.

It was the people who told Moses that we can't handle this glory. You know what? You stand on behalf of us with God, and come and tell us what God said. That was never God's intention. And when Jesus came, the veil was broken. The veil was torn. The holy ghost left man made temples and made man his temple. It means you have the ability to hear God. You have the ability to be led by God. Nothing therefore should move you one bit that somebody said that does not have a witness in your own spirit.

Listen. Yes, sir. This is not even my teaching. Are you with me? And so we labored under that bondage. And you know entire conferences were built around this. Huge meetings were held with millions gathering. And as young minister, there is easy to assume that because these meetings have the largest crowd and these people had the loudest voice, then it must mean that this is the voice of God. But in truth, that was not necessarily God. It was simply the highest level of revelation available to that generation at that time.

Now this does not mean that God was not in it. Because you see, God is merciful. He can permit temporal systems of doctrine so long as Christ is being preached. And if that is the highest level of revelation available at that time. So look at what Paul says in Philippians one verse 18, NIV. Paul says the important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true motif, the important thing is that Christ is preaching. So even if the method was flawed, if somehow Christ was being glorified, God still used it. And we thought that because God was using at the time, that must mean that the method and the and the the the the doctrine and everything must be flawless is a lie. The question now becomes, should we remain there? Should we keep building temples on shadows when the full light of truth has come?

No. Agaiah two verse nine says that the glory of the letter house shall be greater than that of the former. That means there is a law that is built into the spiritual that truth must always increase and glory must always progress. Daniel said it in Daniel twelve four, knowledge shall be increased. That means by divine design, my children should understand the things of God better than I did. It is expected that the next generation will challenge our understanding. And that is not rebellion, it is fulfillment. But what happens when ministers have built their identity, when they have built their influence, when they have built their entire ministry around a fitting truth? Some of them are left paralyzed when God upgrades his communication. Because to embrace the new would mean tearing down what they've built, and that price can sometimes feel too heavy.

And that is how spiritual idols are formed. When we have ministerial titles and and stands and doctrinal positions that we are too proud to outgrow. Are you with me? Yes, sir. Getting blessed? Yes, sir. So if the foundation of identity in Christ is misunderstood, then faith will always malfunction. So faith is not just a principle that you wanna apply, it is a life that you receive and respond from. And if you don't understand that you have been made a new creation, you will spend your old Christian life fighting shadows, trying to break causes that Christ has already broken, trying to hand favor that you already have, fasting to become someone you already are, praying for twelve hours to receive things that are already in you, Going for deliverances to be delivered from what Christ has delivered you from. And you would think that because ministries have been built on this, that gather large crowds, it would mean that the voice of God is there.

That is where God is. No. That's where the people are. It's our responsibility as men of God to bring the people from there to where God is. Is it true that powers exist? Yes. Is it true that there are generational causes? Yes. Do they distort people? Yes.

What then becomes the solution to that? Is is it true that there are patterns? Yes. There are patterns. I have seen patterns. You can't you can't even... I mean, merciless repetitions, obvious repetitions, undeniable repetitions. But if you if you call experts, there is no way to explain. Someone sat down in my front and was speaking to me, and the person told me that our great grandmother, when they celebrated ten years anniversary of their marriage, The husband died. Her grandmother, ten years after marriage, the husband died.

Her mother, ten years after marriage, her own father died. Different reasons. You could not say, oh, it was cancer. It was the first one. And it was exactly ten years after. Now you enter into the mother sister, and you start finding the same thing there. Yes. Ten years after, divorce. Ten years after, separation. One, one of the siblings, they fought herself and the husband fought.

The husband broke a a part of her head before the divorce. And she sat on my phone and I say, hey. You cannot hear things like that and say it's not true. It is true. People experience these things. It exists. These are battles that are being fought. It is the way they are fighting it that is wrong. So when we speak like this, we don't deny the reality. We don't...

It will be foolishness to do so. The Bible does not say greater is he that is in you or great is he that is in you. The Bible uses a comparative statement. It says greater than what? It means there is someone there and he's great. So the believer does not foolishly just say, ah, the devil's got not not me. It's how we are fighting that bad that is wrong. So we put people in ignorance, and we fight from ignorance. Fighting from ignorance. That's the problem because we have not understood what it means to be a new creation.

Our identity has not yet been revealed. We we don't even understand what we're saved from and what we're saved into. So the believer's contention is all for what has been given. The bible says that the effectual that your... The communication of your faith, that how you make your Christian experience powerful is by acknowledge not by deliverances, not by breakthrough services as good as all these things are because there's a provision for people that are there. Let me teach you something. If people are there, there is a provision for them. And you will keep on your testimonies. And in the power of God, we keep on moving. And we'll keep on recycling these things.

That's why the deliverances have to be weakened. Because those who deliver today must need it next month. And there's a provision for that. Because God is God is being revealed. Jesus Christ is at the center. So if that is where people are, it doesn't completely wipe it off. Let me show you a pattern of this in scripture. In the Pool Of Bethesda, when Jesus got there, Jesus met a lame man, and a man had been lame thirty eight years. And Jesus came to the man, and said, would that be made whole? And the man started saying stories that whenever the bull starts to steer, I don't have anyone because I'm lame.

I can't push myself there. And Jesus said, that's not what I'm asking you. Would thou be made whole? Would thou be made whole? And Jesus looked at him and said, young man, pick up your bed and walk. And all of a sudden, strength entered the leg of this man. He has... This man stood up, picked up his bed, thirty eight years he has been by that pool. Waiting for when he will become his son. And he wasn't the only one oh.

The Bible says in that pool, there were many impotent folk. Many lame folk, many blind folk, many walk up and they were waiting by the pool waiting for the steering of the water. And Jesus comes there, picks up a man, sends him on his way, and Jesus left. Yet, the pool remained. Jesus did not stop the ministry of the pool. Just because he was there. I wonder what the other lame people were doing. Because if I saw that. The pool you are waiting for, you have no idea when next angel will come. But we are all there.

We are all there. We are waiting. We are waiting. And inside that place, a man comes. I had an encounter with Jesus. Jesus, that one says, yeah, be going. And everybody said, no, Bara, I'm just gonna leave the below. It says it says, as long as that is what you believe, the pool will still be walking. One day, an angel will still come and steer, and you will jump. Whereas, resurrection and the life was there, and people still chose to stay by the pool.

Still chose to stay by the pool. This thing, you you don't force it on people. I say glory. Glory to the father. Glory to the son. Glory. Listen. Hear me? Somebody believe that the reason why I'm struggling is because of something that this person did. The reason why I'm having this pattern right now because my father did that.

My grandfather did that. Now it is in my life right now. The Bible says, neither circumcision nor circumcision. None of them avails anything. But a new creation. But a new creation. Hear me? Hear me? Hear me? Hear me?

Hear me? The next verse of this scripture now tells us something strange. It says... Go back to the new king James version. It says the next verse, verse 16. One, two, three, go everybody. Pause. The first thing I want you to see is as many as. It means not every believers will work according to it. There will still be those that will prefer to argue circumcision or uncircumcision.

But as many, all of us, many as work according to this rule. You see, the phrase as many as work by this rule comes from the Greek word, stoikio. It means to match in line with something. It means to conform to a divine order, to follow a pattern of life. You see, those who order their lives according to this principle. What is this principle? That in Christ, only the new creation matters. Those people will walk in peace. Can you see? Peace.

Mercy be upon them. Don't really do fast. Let's now open up peace. Because you have to understand what is upon them. The Bible says the way they would come into the experience of what is upon them is that they have chosen what they want to walk by. And as many as walk according to this rule, peace. Peace. What is peace? Shalom. Shalom.

Prosperity. Welfare. Health. In this context, it even means security and defense. Joy, wellness, health, peace. That means you cannot truly understand this and fail. You cannot walk in the revolution of who you are as a new creation and remain defeated. You might face challenges, yes, but the outcome of that challenge is not in doubt. When this rule governs your life, it becomes impossible for a man to remain in bondage. Are you with me brothers and sisters?

No. You're no longer guessing if you're under a course. You don't measure yourself by your performance. You live boldly, not because of what you do, but because of what you have become. Second Corinthians five seventeen. I love that scripture so much. It says if any man any man, Doesn't matter what ethnic group he comes from. Doesn't matter what race he comes from. Doesn't matter what village and the charm they are doing in the village. Doesn't matter what witchcraft or patronial he is facing.

Doesn't matter where, what kind of idol he worship in his family. Doesn't matter the kind of patterns that have been following everybody before he came. He's heady man. Any man, regardless of his background, regardless of what he did before, regardless of what his forefathers did, if any man be in Christ, let him be the direct descendant of the evil priest. Any man. Let him be the only son of Amadioa. Any man. If that man can somehow find himself in Christ. The bible says, he's no longer of circumcision or uncircumcision. It doesn't matter what he does to attain favor or what he doesn't do by a rule of expectations.

If any man being Christ, instantly, he becomes a new creature. The Bible does not say he will be. The Bible says, he is a new creature. That the moment a man accepted Christ as Lord and savior, the moment a man received Jesus and his life, the moment a man transitioned, and the holy ghost and living the man. Something strange happened to that man. Some that cannot be observed by science. Something that is more than logic. Something that breaks the laws of the universe. Something happens to the man. It becomes a new species.

A new kind of being. And the Bible says the moment it becomes a new creature. Please read the next line for me. Does it say whole things will? The bible says, the hints stand that the man became a new creature. Old patterns passed away. Old bloodline passed away. Foundational curses passed away. Generational curses passed away. How it happens in his family passed away.

How it happens where he's come from passed away. It means that the Lord rise in my family has passed away. That nobody does this in my family passed away. That that husbands die young, where where I come from passed away. The bible says whole things have passed away. The next one is now very strange. The bible does not say, behold, old things have passed away. The bible does not say, behold is a new creation. Those two things happen by default. It happens because a man accepted life of Christ.

The moment he's born again is a new creature. The moment he's born again, whole things are passed away. But all things will look as though they have not become new. Because for that one to happen, he put something behind it. He says, beyond. That the highs of your understanding be enlightened. That the highs of your understanding be enlightened. It says, behold. It means if you do not see this thing, despite all things have been passed away, it will look as though your life is still the same. Patterns are still coming.

Your mother is still dying. Sister is still dying. Death is still reigning. You will still be stranded. You will still be broke. You will still be broke. You will fall sick like normal men. Cancer will still run-in your body. You will still be sickle cell. They say sir, sir, in my family, failure at the edge of breakthrough is what used to happen before.

Listen, it says behold. Behold. The question therefore becomes, what are you beholding? What are you seeing? I see all things become new. I see my life become new. I see it. I see it. All things. It does not say some things.

All things. My identity is new. My bloodline is new. My DNA is new. If before I was diagnosed of sickle cell, even my bloodstream is new. My blood cells are new. I can't have terminal cancer. My blood tissues are new. Everything within me is new. New nature, new identity, new position, new possibilities.

And once I know this, I behold. I see myself being promoted. I see myself getting millions. I see myself crossing levels. I see myself flying jets. I see myself building mansions, holding empires. I'm unstoppable. I cannot be stopped. All things are new. I cannot be stopped.

All things are new. What stop my father Cannot stop me. What stopped my mother? Cannot stop me. What stopped my ancestry? Cannot stop me. All things are new. If people move with delay, move with speed. All things are new. What they could not achieve in seventy years, I achieved in thirty.

I achieved in twenty. There is speed for my life. All things are new. All things. All things. All things are new. Are you with me? Hear me? Hear me? Hear me?

That newness is not an upgrade. Were not improved. You were not refurbished. This newness is not a moral polishing of your former self. You are not a sinner who now behaves better. No. No. You... It's called a recreation. Do you know what that means?

It means you have been created before. Now we have recreated you. It's a new species. A new kind of person. Hear me? Hear me? Hear me? That word new creation means kinesis. It means kinesis. It means a new species.

The way scientists discover a new species that they have never seen before. That is what the believer is. You are you are a being of a different kind. Because you are born of God. How do you explain this man that is born of God that is still a man? How do you define his possibilities? What name do we call him? Is he a human being? No. No.

He's not a human being. Never in your life ever say, I'm just human. You are not just human. You are kind pieces, a new creation. Your possibilities are different. Your realities are different. What I can do is different. Hear me. Hear me. Hear me.

Heaven is now my origin. You may look like others on the outside, but internally your structure has changed. Hear me? If this is not what we are teaching, we are not teaching faith. Because this is where faith flows from. This is where faith comes from. So they say, okay. Somebody came over. Let's go and greet that person. And they just tell you...

They just tell you... They just say, ah, that person. He is the chief something and something. He's a he's a he's an example where he's coming from. Don't mind the way he's looking. Said, okay. Alright. No problem. Let's go. You're not even think...

You're not even seeing the problem. It's them they're not telling you that, ah, don't you know that, hey, if he just got anything like that, and you're wondering what thing can he do? Hear me? Hear me? The new creation is strange. Do you see that? Do you see how Paul was talking? Paul met one man for one one time, and the man was resisting them. Paul looked at him and said, is it because I look like a normal person? Be blind.

That's a new creation. It's a strange species. What a new creation. Hear me? Hear me? John Gillick was was helping people with Ebola, and the Ebola could not touch him. And they went to go and check under the microscope, and they found that when Ebola touched his body, Ebola died. That's a new creature. It's not normal. Hear me?

Hear me? Hear Hear me. Me? Do you know what it means to be a new creature? A new creature is a man that can only transfer life but cannot accept death. Let me tell you what I mean by that. Hear me. Let me tell you what I mean by that. The bible says that 10 lepers came to Jesus. Give me that story.

10 lepers came to Jesus, and they came to come and meet Jesus. I want you to say something here. And they came to come and meet Jesus. Do you know what it means to have leprosy? Leprosy is a communicable disease. It can be transferred. So so so why they told them to put those with leprosy outside? It wasn't just the religious law. It was actually for safety. It was quarantine.

The people of the old testament did not know it was quarantine. They they called it defilement. So they think that the moment you touch someone who is lepros, you will also become defiled. It wasn't a religious thing. It was a communicable disease. Do you understand what I'm saying? Next verse. And they lifted up their voice when they came to him. Go back to verse 12. They lifted up their voice when they came to him.

Next verse now. Crying out. Master, have mercy on us. Next verse. He looked at them and said, go and show yourself to the priest. Watch this. These people still had leprosy on their body. They still had leprosy on their body. Converse with. If you are leprosy, you don't have family because even your family rejected you for fear that they could become devoured.

But when they came to Jesus, they spoke to Jesus and Jesus was convicting with them like a normal man would. And he told them, he said go and show yourself to the priest. And he turned back. He was going about his life. He didn't... He did not even check if they had been healed. And the Bible says as they went, they were healed. The first miracle is that Jesus did not even expect that leprosy could touch him. If a new creation is inside a vehicle that the brake feels, what does it do? If a new creation is kidnapped by kidnappers, what happened?

What happens? Did they kidnap a man? Is it a man that is inside that vehicle? One of my sons told me and said, two days ago, they were going. And and and and they they they went to the driver... A car with his family, and the driver just announced that the brake has failed. And they were going at a speed uncontrolled. He said he had no idea where the fates came from. He just... His parents were there.

He started shouting, he helped both of them. He helped both of them. And then we'll be fine. All will be well. We'll be fine. All will be well. The driver kept on doing everything he can. Kept on doing everything he can. We'll be fine. All will be well.

All of a sudden, the car came to a halt. And this force of the halt was what even affected the people that were inside the car. He was not affected one bit. Came out, took a few people to the hospital, came back outside unscathed. No. Not not not a single issue. That is the hurdle of death fired. This man just graduated. This man is probably the only member of his family who have just gone to school and finished. The illiteracy in that family is so bad.

Even if he's speaking to me in English, he can't communicate well to me in English. Because he came from a place that is so terrible that not a single one has gone to school. And he finished doing his defense. His defense had just been approved. And he went home and he's coming back and breakfield. Would you die like a Meaghman? Would you die like a Meaghman? When we share testimony of the new creature, it looks weird. Sir. There was a time I was going on the road some time ago, many years ago, and I was driving, and I fell asleep while driving because I was so tired, extremely tired.

What woke me up was, and I opened my eyes. I hit the car. How much is the money that will fix this car? Then they called one stupid price. I just transferred it to them, entered my car. Can my car still drive? He can still drive. I went back home. I will... Hello.

Shield. Hello. Our shield. Tell him that. A year later, I was listening to a man of God, and he said he just finished from about three meetings in one day, and he was driving home and he fell asleep. I said, no. You don't leave me. Don't go and fall asleep. That's not the lesson. That's not the moral lesson.

Listen. The man of God said, he just fell asleep. And he was about five kilometers away from his house. He was just coming from the second meeting, and he was so tired. He just fell asleep. He said when he woke up, he woke up, he was afraid on his body. He said, hey. I have been sleeping. He was in front of his house. The question one should ask is, is that a human?

Is it the the kind of experiences the new creature has is strange. I was with my pastor some time ago, and we're going for a meeting, and the time it would take to open the door and to stretch and to do all of that, he he... I was so lazy. I I didn't want to go through that stress, and I just prayed in my spirit that the gate would open. I hung it. I was with my pastor, and the gate opened. Fume. And we passed, and he closed back. The guy who stood was shocked like this for a minute. The experiences of the new creation is just is just is just uncommon.

How life cannot go the same way. You see, that's where we speak from. Forces. Yes. The realm of the spirit. Nature. Everything is aligning itself. Because a new creation has spoken. It's like, it's like the way God said let there be light. Light does not have choice.

Rise up on your feet. Rise up on your feet. Hear me? We could not enter the deep today. Don't worry. Don't worry. Don't worry. We'll try to do that next week Tuesday. Listen to me. If any man be in Christ.

Oh, this consciousness has so hidden me up. It says behold. My my... That's why I said pray this thing for one year, that your eyes will be open. That your thinking will become radical, that your you will... It's not bold face. The lion does not have faith to roar. It just roars. If you don't understand this, your faith will become reactive faith. It become reactive faith.

You will declare words because something happened. Because something happened. Because something happened. The man in Christ knows that there's no door that can close for me. The man in Christ knows this. So if a door closes, it does not even look to him like a door has closed. You don't understand what I'm saying. He's not trying to... He's not he's not crying over it. He's not saying, ah, ah, and I really thought and I really thought.

The guy just thinks, hey, yeah, they have missed. They have missed. Man in Christ. The man in Christ. The man in Christ. Can you bring tongues in one minute? I have a life. This life is moving me. I have a life. This life is walking in me.

I have a life. This life is moving in me. I have a life. In Jesus mighty name we have prayed.
