Faith Speaks

Welcome to the Archbishop Nick podcast, your source for uncompromising truth and prophetic prayer-driven teaching from the Archbishop Nicholas Duncan Williams. Today, the Archbishop brings a powerful and faith-building message titled Faith Speaks. Drawing from the scriptures, the Archbishop reveals that faith is never silent. Rather, it gives expression to the Word of God. It teaches that genuine faith is not merely what we believe inwardly, but what we boldly confess. Prepare your hearts for a teaching that will strengthen your faith, renew your confidence in God's Word, and empower you to speak with boldness until every promise becomes your reality.

So I disagreed with him. I knew the things he was saying was accurate and was true, but I will not accept what he was telling me because the source was not the Holy Spirit. So the fact that you can see and it happens or it comes to pass, a lady came to see me yesterday and she said, "As for me, when I see it, it will happen. You can't change it." And I said, "No, it's a contradiction. The final authority is Scripture. There is no gift, no prophecy, no anointing, no dream, no vision that is above Scripture. All things was created by the Word and there was nothing that was created without the Word and all things conceived by the Word. All things. All things. Now, Psalm 119, verse 89, "Forever, all Lord thy Word is settled in heaven. The word "settle" means it's established. Is the final verdict, Exhibit A, it's own questionable, irrevocable, you cannot contest, appeal, or raise an objection against Scripture. In God watches over His Word to perform He doesn't watch over anointing, He doesn't watch over gift, He doesn't watch over personalities, He watches over His Word. And I think the most dangerous thing somebody came to me the other day on the feet and said, "But pray for me. I need your prayers." And when she asked me to pray for her, I said, "I have a problem with what you people are doing." I said, "It is not about my prayers, it is about the knowledge of the Scripture you have in you that makes a difference." I said, "I can agree with you in prayer, but this thing where you believe in my prayers than the Scriptures is very dangerous." I said, "Prayer does not come by the faith, does not come by the prayers of Papa or the abyssal, faith does not come by prophecy, neither does faith come by gift or by personality or how long they've been in the Lord or how anointed they are or how accurate they are. Romans 10, 17, now therefore He said, what He said, Romans 10, 17, Romans 10, 17, so then faith come and hearing, by word hearing and hearing. So faith doesn't come by hearing one time, faith comes by hearing and hearing, everybody say hearing and hearing, talk to me say hearing and hearing. So it's an ongoing thing when Jesus said, man shall not live by bread alone, but by everywhere that proceeds out of the mouth of God, what it means is bread is for your flesh, bread is for your body. He provides our daily bread, that is for your body, but the word is for your spirit. And as you feed your body three times a day, you have to keep feeding your spirit because the word of God is the fruit of your spirit. And if you don't feed your spirit by the word spiritually, you become weak and spiritually you become my nourish, cannot function and cannot conquer and cannot overcome it. Jesus said the flesh profited nothing, but it is the spirit that quickens. The word quickens means to resurrect, the word quickens means to make a life. So if you are not feeding your spirit and you are eating three times a day, physically your body becomes stronger than your spirit and God does not speak to your mind, God does not speak to your ears, God speaks and enlightens you through your spirit man for the spirit of man is the candle of the Lord. So God will enlighten you not through your mind, your emotions or your logic, God will enlighten you through your spirit. So if God is going to speak to you, He will speak to you through your spirit, but if your spirit is not function, if your spirit is desensitized and your spirit is dead, then God speak, you can hear because God doesn't speak to your mind, He doesn't speak to your ears, He speaks to your spirit, please understand the rules of engagement, let us not change the patterns of God in the name of gift, anointing or prophecy or revelation or dreams, we cannot change God's patterns, we cannot change divine ordinances. We must respect, now in the Bible says, I have exalted my word above all my title, Psalm 38 verse 2, that means that the word of God is above God Himself, He has allowed His word to be exalted above Him, that means God Himself is subject to His word and God cannot help us any time we go outside the confine of His word, we are in trouble, Jeremiah 112, He watches over His word to perform it, not your word, not your circumstances, not prophecies, not dreams, not vision, His word, now we have two kinds of words, we have the Rama, which is the spoken word, we have the logos, which is the written word, so one of these things I'll talk about, the logos and the Rama, but the bottom line here is God, the finer authority, remember when Jesus said it is written and He quoted the words from the Hebrew scriptures, if you look at Matthew 4.4, he was dealing with dichronomy, I believe dichronomy 8.3, now dichronomy was written 2,000 years before Jesus was born, 2,000 years, and yet when he said it is written, all the three it is written he quoted, where all from the book of dichronomy, and the Bible said and Satan leave it in, so the devil respects scripture and all scripture is written by the installation of God. "So it's not about Old Testament or New Testament. Our Scripture is written by the inspiration of God, and it is profitable for doctrine." So through Scripture, we can judge doctrines. Like I told you about my father, my father was very, very, very accurate. He saw a lot of things before it happened. Even after today, the teachings he told me, and the teachings of the sake and other prophets, like Michael McCown, that I worked with over the years, sometimes we would be in a place, and Michael would just say, "The angels have come." And I don't see them, but I sense presence. And I said, "Yeah, I sense presence." And he said, "Yeah, he's very close to you. He's starting close to you." Michael McCown was deep. He's going to be with the Lord. Such a powerful prophet. He was the one that taught me how to pray for the sake, and one time, who went kezantine temple in the UK, and he walked into the service, and said, "God is going to shrink somebody today." And I said, "Do I shrink?" I never had that before. And as he was ministering by the word of knowledge, he called the woman and said, "Come here. God is going to shrink you. We have you on tape." He said, "Yanquil Buddha, and those who have been with me for 40 years and above can attest to that." And he began to pray, and the lady began to shrink. He began to shrink. We had a video today. He began to shrink. You know, so we've seen things, but our faith is not built on experience. The faith of the believer and the confidence of the believer must never be built on a gift. It must not be built on an anointing, nor a personality. Our faith is built on scripture. On Christ, the solid rock, I stand. All at the ground is sinking sound. Now, come with me to Romans 3, Romans 12, there's three. Romans 12, there's three. For I say, "Aha, through the grace given unto me." Yes, every man that is among you, yes sir, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think. "Aha, but to think so many according as God have dealt with every man the measure of faith." So this is saving faith. Everybody has faith, but there are levels in faith, but you have faith. You have been giving a measure of faith. Now, the level of your faith, where your faith stands, whether it's strong, mighty, weak, whatever level of faith you are operating in, has to do with what you are doing with the web, because what you feed the most grows the most, and what you are consistent in, you develop capacity in it. So if you exercise consistently, you develop your muscles and everything. If you exercise the web, you are consistent in the web. You develop capacity in the web. You are consistent in praying in the spirit and prayer. You develop capacity in prayer. That is what consistency does. But if you play with scripture, you pray every now and then. Look at this scripture in James chapter 2, verse 26. For us, the body without the spirit is dead. So faith without words is dead also. You see, so faith can die, faith can die. When you don't exercise it, you don't use it, you kill it. And people can kill your faith. And what you keep hearing can kill your faith. But the thing that we don't look at is the A, that the body without the spirit is dead. So if you are not feeding your spirit with the web and your spirit become my knowledge, at the time your forces of evil can overpower you, if they can overpower your spirit. But the Bible says that the spirit of man will sustain him in his infirmity. So it doesn't matter what attack you come on that physically. If your spirit is strong, if your spirit is well, you know, in form and the scriptures are within you. It doesn't matter the attack that comes on your body. Your spirit can repel it. Your spirit can empower your flesh. Your spirit resist. Your spirit gives you the upper hand. But if your spirit is my knowledge, because you are not feeding your spirit, all you do is to feed your flesh three times a day and feed your mind, your head. You're not feeding your spirit, you're in trouble. And people spend time making money. Spend time all their life on their body. And don't spend time doing anything about the spirit. And the reason why people die is because when your spirit depends on your body, you are dead. And they spend all their life chasing money, all their life building houses, buying cars, making deals, doing everything to empower their body. And they don't do anything about the spirit man and what you feed the most grows the most. So if you are not paying attention, the weight of God is the fuel that carries the spirit. So if you are not feeding your spirit, you're in trouble. Now come with me to Romans chapter 10, verse 9 and 10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth, the Lord Jesus shall believe in thy heart that God has raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. You see, if you believe in your heart, it's two things. You got to believe in your heart. And what you believe in your heart, your mouth must save. Now, if you believe in your heart, and your mouth doesn't say what you believe in your heart, there is a disalignment. There has to be an alignment and an agreement between what is in your heart and what comes out of your mouth. Now, believing is not enough. You can't believe, but until you confess, you are not saved. And you cannot grow above your confession. You can't grow above your confession because confession precedes possession. Say confession. Talk to me. Say confession precedes possession. That's why they call Christianity. The great confession. The great confession is about confessing. In the beginning, God came to the end. Saw the state of the head. Darkness has covered the face of the deep. And the Bible said, and God said, let there be light. God didn't think about it. He wasn't silent about it. He didn't talk about it. He said, let there be. Let there be. Are you here? Let there be. And there was. And there was. That same spirit. That spoke in Genesis is the same spirit to you. Let there be light and the world light. God believed that what the head needed at that time was light. And so he spoke what light and the world. Look at all the things that God created. He called them to be. He commanded. He spoke and became as a result of words. He works. Talk to me again. Say words. Now, when he comes to the word salvation going back to Roman stand, nine and ten, when he comes to the word salvation, I don't think we really understand it. That's what the Bible said in Isaiah for six that my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. Because we don't understand salvation. Salvation is not just about being born again and speaking in tongue. Salvation is more than just being born again and speaking in tongues. I've seen people born again like over there. There are prophets in the Bible who prophesied. They were very accurate and they died poor. And people came for their children to take away their children. Because they died poor tell somebody I'm not going to die poor. I will not die poor. Say I will not die poor. Now, salvation is not just about being born again. It's more than being born again. Number one, salvation is deliverance from the power of darkness. Colossians wanted to look at Colossians want to deliverance from the power of darkness. Who has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us into the Kingdom of the Jesus so you are delivered you've been repositioned relocated and you don't belong where you used to be again because you've been redeemed by the blood of the lamb. Someone who said, "Investoo," someone who said, "Investoo." I like redeemed of the Lord, say so, whom he has redeemed? Whom he shall redeem. Amen. He's already done, so you are no more where you used to be. Now the devil has power, but he has power over those under his domain. He doesn't have power over those redeemed, but he's stubborn, he's defiant, he's rebellious, he's disobedient, so he would threaten you with fear, with deception, with lies to make you believe that he has power over you which he doesn't have. Look at Luke 10, Luke 10, 19, Luke 10, 19, mm-hmm. give up to your time to check on sevens and scorpions. And with all the power. - Over same of the power of the enemy. - Over same. Over same. Go to Colossians 216. Colossians 216. - Mm-hmm. - And having strong face of politics and powers. - Mm-hmm. - You made a show of their opinion. - Having, having shot them. Having wrestled with them. Having contended with them. But having done wars. Having wars. Having wars. - So that is what it is. Now, when you are here, believe me, I'm under attack. I'm under attack. Yes, he can attack. He will attack you. But when the attack comes, you must take a stand and apply the blood. And say, I'm the Redeem of the Lord. I'm redeemed by the blood of the Lord. I refuse to accept these attacks. Are you here, man? Go to Revelation 12-11. Revelation 12-11. Mm-hmm. And then, if I came here by the blood of the Lord, and by the Word of God's testimony. So how do we overcome? Through vision, to Revelation, to prophecy, through fasting, to prayers, through what? Talk to me, through what? Come on, use the word, through what? Say, the blood of the Lamb. Say, I overcome by the blood of the Lamb. Say, I announce my victory by the blood of the Lamb. It is by the blood of the Lamb. Listen, we must go back to Scripture. I'm just telling you. Because that is the safest grounds to walk in. And I'm concerned about the future of the charismatic church and Christianity, because it looks like we are departing from Scripture, and we are going into mysticism. We are going into worship of people, personality, gifts, and 19, instead of understanding Scripture, on Christ. That's all. ♪ Leg long ♪ ♪ All ♪ ♪ Yes, sing it, son ♪ ♪ All ♪ ♪ Out of ground ♪ ♪ Yes, sing it, son ♪ Stop there, stop there. Now come, we've been to 2nd Corinthians 4.13. Let's see what is the 2nd Corinthians 4.13. We haven't the same Spirit according as it is written. I believe. I'm asking if it's written. Therefore, I believe. And therefore, have I spoken. We also believe and therefore speak. So what do you do when you believe? Talk to me, what do you do when you believe? You have to speak the Word. Faith speaks. Faith is given expression to what is written. So when you don't speak the Word, you allow the enemy to speak. And whoever speaks, have the being. In the runs of the Spirit, whoever speaks wins the battle. When David met Goliath, the first thing Goliath did was to cast David by his God. Then Goliath predicted the outcome of the battle between him and David. And David, understanding the rules of engagement, David spoke from the perspective of covenant and said, "You, on second-size Philistines like you, you don't have a covenant with God. And you want to threaten me, I declare the opposite of your confession. I declare the opposite of your declaration. And David said, "You come against me with the Spirit. You come against me with the shield. But I come against you in the name of the Lord God of hosts. I come against you in the name of the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel, whom you have defined today. He will deliver you into my hands. And I will cut your head off." You see, so when you speak, you have to understand, you can't keep silent. Tell somebody you cannot keep silent. But the thing is, you can also say what you are feeling. You don't confess what you are feeling. I had a dream or a revelation some time ago. And it was a very bad revelation. It wasn't a good revelation at all. So I woke up and I was thinking about the revelation. And before I slept, I prayed. I was thinking about three. I woke up, used the lesson. I came back and I prayed again. And I went to pray again. And I had that dream. And I said, "No, I don't like this." Now, in my mind, I was contemplating what made me this dream. But in my spirit, I had a song. And this was a song. I have the victory, Hallelujah. And every knee, Shabbar, every tongue, conference, He's Lord, He's Lord. Now, that was my spirit telling me I have victory. My mind was telling me by a dream. This is not good at all. I'd be so. And I said, "I know it is not good at all, but I have victory over what is not good at all." I announced victory over it. By the blood of Jesus. For they overcame by the blood of the Lord. So I said, "Through the blood and by the blood of Jesus, I announced the victory over this dream and revelation." It will not stand, neither shall it come to pass. It will not stand, it will not come to pass. So there was a contradiction. My head, my mind, was acknowledging the reality of the dream and the vision. My spirit was telling me something else. Because God speaks through your spirit, not through your mind, not through your ears, by your spirit, man. If we don't stick with Scripture, we will go into error. And there's a lot of error in the church. Especially in the Charismatic and Pentecostal Church. Lots of error is like we are beginning to magnify man, praise man. And men have become so very powerful. I'm not saying you shouldn't honor and respect men. But we shouldn't praise men. We shouldn't magnify men because of their gifts or anointing. Or how accurate they are. And men, I'm a man just like you. I stand where I stand only by divine appointment. Period. It doesn't make me better than you. Is the position. Is the position. The president of Ghana today is the most powerful person in this country. One is no more in the office. Whoever takes that office becomes the most powerful person. So it's about position. It's about office. I stand here as I've bishop today. Tomorrow, when my job is done, someone else can come. And I'm done. That is what life is all about. You must understand positioning. Because if we are not careful, we will be present. I mean, I was talking to somebody the other day. And he said, I have this man of God. He's very, very sharp. He's sharp. He said, hey, he said he's the guy. He's sharp. He's sharp. He can rarely see. And I had a guy in this state. The guy was so sharp. And that he can even tell you the color of your own that way. Yeah. He can tell you the color of your own that way. The food you add. The dream you had. He can enter into your dream. Yeah. It was one of my songs in this album. But he was 419. His character was in good at all. Every time I keep talking to him about it, pray for me. I apologize. Forgive me. And I said, you, what is it about you? How come you see the way you see? And one day, he ran into some crisis. And I said, didn't you see that one? I said, you are always seen for people. But you didn't see this one for yourself. So, how do you judge a prophet? You don't judge him by the accuracy of his prophecy. You judge him by his character. His character. You shall know them by their fruits. Because you can't prophesy, say one thing. And you lead a whole different lifestyle. I mean, I know people who are prophets. You know, they speak and they prophesy and it's accurate. And they sleep with people's wife. And they sleep with girls in the church. I mean, something in my church every time. And the girls who come to me say, Papa, he ripped me. Yeah. It's your book that I'll tell you. And they're very accurate. They'll call the girl and say, I see this. I see this. I see this. I see this about you. And it's true. You have to come for prayer. Then when you go for prayer, they will tell you that the thing that I've seen, you need some of my power. And the only way you can have some of my power is for me to sleep with you. And the girls allow it. And they sleep with them. And things don't change. Listen, you don't overcome by prophecy and by give. And don't forget, when Satan came to Jesus, [BLANK_AUDIO] I am it is it is it is it is Now you cannot say it is written if you don't know the scriptures You can't say it is written if you don't know the word So you must invest time in the way Just as you invest time in making money It will be your your flesh It looks like so many of us all we do is chase money Cut deals make money and it's never enough. We become greedy Conventions we scheme to destroy people because we feel the astounding in our way say in the name of Jesus No one's astounding my way In the name of the Lord Jesus They will not scan in my way Say I proclaim this by the blood of the lamb Now then he understands in my way It's clad by the blood of the lamb In the name of Jesus clad by the blood And that is the society we live in They go out of their way they'll kill They'll steal the discredit. I said it in the first service. There's a parable in this country In Keyway said you ain't trying to run to me. So let's let's lie about him And today life's way people can go and lie about you and people who believe you There was a time in this country from people who went to that to a president in this country and lied about me And I was investigated for two years All kinds of lines for two years The investigated and the lies seems to be true. And when I met the president he said to me. I was then a bishop He said bishop The things I've heard about you is very very bad. He's better and I say your excellency. I understand I understand And let our own he found that I was in true and in the presence of some men of God in in this country They are still alive. He said Archbishop. I became one Archbishop. I said Archbishop. I'm sorry about what we did to you And I said Mr. President. We have friends. We have family. Don't worry about it I've gone past it But that is what people can do to you They can set you up. They can implicate you. They can target you to destroy you And when they can't fight you they use the powers that be to fight you Just to set those calls with you Huh say fate speaks Fate does not react Come to Hebrews chapter 10 verse 23 Hebrews 10 23 Let us hold fast a profession of faith. Let us hold fast what the confession say confession Of what I think confession of what whole world Confession of our hope without wafer whole world Say fast use the word say fast Why because you can lose it You can't relax. It can't sleep out of your hands. It can't elude you And before you realize you believe one thing but your mouth is saying something else. We call it double confession Double confession you believe in one thing But you are saying another thing. So there's a contradiction between your heart and your mouth But your heart must believe And your mouth must say the same thing your heart believe and here people say well, I believe girl. I believe girl No, it's not scripture. It's not enough to believe girl because the Bible said even the unclean spirit believe and the triangle So believing it's not enough. You must say what you believe It's not enough to believe you must say what you believe and what you believe must agree With what comes out of your mouth So when you speak it should reflect your belief But when you say I believe girl. What are you believing? God for you give the devil a blank change I was in a service the other day and Somebody came and said everybody say something is about to happen something is about to happen something is about to happen and I didn't say Yeah, something is about to have what is about to happen I'm not gonna say it. I'm not gonna set myself up for trouble Something is about it's a blank check So when you say something is about to happen the devil come setting there because it's a blank check And it can write whatever he wants to happen because you say something is about to happen So when people were looking at me, I began to say something good is about to happen to me something good You have to be specific somebody say be specific Yeah We have to be very specific because the enemy we are dealing with he's very subtle now look at look at Proverbs 62. Look at Proverbs 62 Who's where who's mouth? Who's mouth? You're saying my mouth. Who's mouth? Uh-huh, right? You are taking my words of your mouth. It's your words. So I'm not gonna say something is about to happen Something good is about to happen to me. Not something is about to happen It's very dangerous it sounds pretty job, but it's not scriptural Look at Proverbs 18 21 Proverbs 18 21 Proverbs 18 21 huh death and life are in the power of the time death and what life are where in the power of the time Is in your mouth Whenever you speak you are speaking life or you're speaking dead and now seeing people who have who keeps saying things with your mouth And he doesn't matter how much you tell them they don't listen and you see it's not that what you are dealing with it's not real it is real But you must counter it you have to bring what I call divine and counter you have to counter say counter petition Say counter motion Somebody goes to the court and petition the gods against you you have to bring a counter petition That my lord objection to this petition it is not true and you present your side of the story So the devil brings his side you must also present your side and your side is what god says And if you don't say what god sees you don't have it Someone who said invest to someone who said invest to someone who said invest to let the redeemed of the lord say so Uh-huh whom he has redeemed from the hand of the enemy do you see what he says let the redeem of the lord do what keep quiet Keep quiet you are redeemed so keep quiet But let the redeem what Let him what If you don't say so even though it is done it is not yours for a second Yes, I go one of my spiritual daughters lived in London and was sick She made that money to go to the hospital She didn't have american showruns so she called me So I called one of my sons and I said can you please wire This amount into this ladies account for me so When she got the money She said 75 And she's not working she's stronger she's to bring this to many many years ago So when she called me said papa thank you I have received the money The bank just elected me that the money has come into my account. I have received it I have received the money But she didn't have it she had received but she didn't have it Now come with me to mark chapter 11 verse 23 and 24 She had received but she didn't have it Now very I'll tell you I shall say unto this mountain Who so ever shall Talk about this mountain About the mountain That what say to this mountain say Say to this mountain means Confirm the situation with the way you confront your fears with the way I'm not saying that fear is not there we all deal with fear But second Timothy one seven the Bible said God has not given us a spirit of fear But of power of love and of a sound mind Say God has not given me a spirit of fear say say by power Love and a set of a sound mind so fear is a personality Fear is a spirit that will visit you every now and then Irrespective of who you are how long you've been born again, how I know and tell you are how give to the art The devil has no respect for any person he went to Jesus and he will come to you And when the children of God gathered say time was among them and no angel nobody knew that say time was among them It was only God who Who identified say time and said you what are you doing Nobody knew say time was among them but God He went to Jesus you come to you so please He's not afraid of your anointing what say time fears is one That understand and knows how to give expression to what they believe Faith is a fuel Faith is a fuel You can have a good car if there is no fuel you come moving I don't know if it's true, but there are seven reason wise you need faith. So let me give you as much as I can right now. Even though I haven't gotten into my way. Seven reason wise, you need faith. But before we heed the quickly, let me give you Hebrews 31. He brews 31. Quickly, uh-huh. We're for holy bread. In he particulars of the heavenly calling in he considered the apostle and high priest of our confession. Consider who? Who? Apostle. Apostle and what? High priest of worth. Confession. So what are you confessing? Ask somebody you. What are you confessing? What are you saying? Because Jesus will sanction what you are saying with your mouth. He's the high priest of your confession. So if we don't confess the way, he has nothing to work with. It is when we confess what is written that you give Jesus something to work with. Matthew 1818. Whatsoever is bound on earth is bound where in heaven. So if you don't bind on earth, nothing is bound in heaven. What we bound on earth is sanctioned in heaven. So God is written on you at nine. And we are waiting on God to move. And God said, no, I cannot move. Okay. One time, one of my spiritual father, daddy Hicken. Jesus will visit him every now and then. So this particular time, he and Jesus were talking and Jesus was downloading some. He was downloading some heavy revelations and Papa Hicken was soaking their revelations deep things, deep things. And he was talking to him also about one of the primary ways that God deals or guides or leads the New Testament believer under the New Testament dispensation, which is different from Old Testament. Old Testament dispensation and Old Testament prophets. Under the Old Testament, we were led by prophets in the New Testament. We are led by our spirit and the Holy Spirit. New Testament. The Bible says, our spirit bears witness with the Holy Spirit that we are the sons of God. Say the witness of your spirit. That is one of the way you can get to know who is accurate, who is wrong and who is right. I have seen people out work with different kind of men of God, different prophets and everything. And I can tell by my spirit that even though they are accurate and everything they are saying is good. Something inside of me, my spirit man has an issue with them. I feel this conflict, grief, restlessness, disease in my spirit. That is a witness or an indication is a red light telling me that something is wrong. I think some couple of months ago, who were in London myself with Rosa and they were supposed to go to Scotland to visit the front of our list in Scotland. We had brought our tickets and everything. And just the day before we left, I kept feeling this unrest in my spirit, but I didn't see anything. And I kept feeling red light. I got an awareness of red light, but I didn't see red light. But I had an awareness of red light. So I said to Rosa, I said, babe, I think you must go because this is the second time I promise that I'll be with him. And I can't make it. So I think you should go. And she said, wow, I said, I keep getting red light in my spirit, but I haven't seen anything. I haven't had anything, but something is not right with this trip to Scotland. So you go. I will cover you. So we agreed, so I call my office, I said, cancel my ticket to Scotland. Rosa and I will go, but I will not go. Then we went to church. That's on the moon. After service, we went for help. We went to have lunch. And we spoke to Dr. Michael Bussard's daughter and told her that, oh, we're going to Scotland. So when we got to the apartment, I had a text from Angel, Dr. Bussard's daughter of victory church in Hamstead, those days. And she said, Papa, please ask mom to check the weather in Scotland. And so I said, babe, have we checked the weather? She said, and I said, check the weather. When we checked the weather, there was a tornado coming to Scotland or a crowd from London to Scotland was cancelled for 72 hours. No plane was going to have grounded booth airports for planes going there, airports in Scotland for planes going there. The place were going to stay when the tornado came to destroy all the trees around the castle. All kinds of things happened. Now, I didn't see anything. I didn't hear anything. I had an alert, like the bank, I let you when money gets into your cup. I had an alert in my spirit. I perceived by my spirit that something was wrong, even though I didn't know anything and I didn't hear anything. When I was in town, Paul and Silas went to this city. They were preaching and there was a lady with the spirit of divination who followed them for days and said, these are the men of God who bring us the words of salvation. She was accurate. It was true, but the source was not the Holy Spirit. After days, Paul was grief in his spirit. And that grief gave him an indication that the source of this lady's prophetic word is not God. Paul said, come out of here. And the spirit came out. And the authorities in the city were very angry with Paul and Silas. So they put them in prison. They put them in prison because they were depending on her gift and ability to see for them and to tell them what is to be coming. They have something to order about this football going on, this football. People are prophesying and they are saying all kinds of things. And this particular nation, a prophet prophesied and said that the country will win the election. And this and that and that. And somebody said, he didn't happen. Then somebody said, Papa, what do you think? We hear the guy is your son. And I said, I know him. I said, I know, I'm not going to deny him or reject us. I know him. And so they said, what do you have to say? I said, I am a mammalian. I'm a mammalian. Gamelion said, Gamelion was one of the master's Paul steady under him. It was, it was deep. Gamelion said, if he saw God, it was time. If he's not of God, it would be a throne. So leave it alone. I don't create a lot of things. I've seen a lot. Listen, I've seen some very powerful prophets in this country. There was a time there was this guy out to my station. The guy was insane. And yet he was prophesying. And he was saying things that were accurate. And everybody was running there. People in authority. They all drove their cars there. And nobody came to action. Because I was in prophesying. And they all drove there. And he would give them water. Bless water. Holy water. And I didn't see anything. And people who can't say, but by what you have to say, nothing. But by saying something, no, I don't see anything. I preach the way. And in the process of time before this appeared. So I am a Gamelion. I don't attack people. I don't increase that people. So I speak the word of God. So if I teach the word, and you have a problem with the word is between you and God. Me, I'm just a messenger of the word. I come and I deliver the word and you fight the word. Don't fight me. Don't fight me. I'm a messenger. I'm just declaring what God says. See, I hear you. Amen. He was to be one. He was holy. Take us of the heavenly calling. But see that we are also a high priest of our confession. He likes Jesus. So he's the high priest of our confession. Numbers 14, 28. Numbers 14, 28. Look at something. Numbers 14, 28. Say to them. As I leave. Say the Lord. Just ask you have spoken into my hearing. So that is the confession. That is the high priest of our confession. God said, I will do unto you exactly what has come out of your mouth. So 3 million people were saved. And only to enter into the promised land. 12 spies went into the land. 10 came back and said, everything God said is true. But we can't take this land. We can't possess it. 2 came back and said, we are well able to take the land. And they lived to the land. The ones that said we are not able to die in the wilderness. Only to enter. You have to confess the word. Let me tell you. It doesn't matter what you are dealing with. If you don't say what is written, you don't have it. so let's look at some of the benefits of salvation quickly, come with me quickly, second It's time, second Peter, chapter 1, verse 3, second Peter, chapter 1, verse 3, look at it, according as his divine power has given unto us all things. We'll give unto us all things, shall give unto us all things, I want to say, has given shall will, but has, tell somebody is in your account. That's what the money is in your account. It's in your account. So watch it. All right, and to ask all things that pretend on to life and Godliness through the knowledge of him. Through, through. So the knowledge here means awareness. You see, you can only recover what you discover. Discovery brings recovery. Say, Discovery brings recovery. Discovery brings possession. Now, you remember when Abraham went to the mount of Moriah, didn't see 22. He was going to kill the sound and the voice of the loss and no, no, no, no, stop it. Then the Bible said Abraham lifted up his eyes and he saw a ram behind him tied up by the home and he took the ram and sacrificed. The web here, the home is what these wild animals fight with. Abraham was an old man at that time. So God took the fight out of him so that he doesn't have to wrestle and fight the ram. When you fulfill all righteousness, God takes the fight out of the blessing. Are you hearing me? That's what the Bible said. The blessing of the Lord, it may get reached and he has no soul to it. And that's why people who try to make money, the short way, the cut corners, the destroyed people, the killed people, the scheme, the line about people, they do all kinds of things to get money. If you hear me, you can make money in this world without God, but it is at the expense of your soul, won't surely profit a man to gain this whole world and lose his soul. So if you want money, without God's Satan can give you money, but it's at the expense of your soul. If you want fame, he will give you fame. It's at the expense of your soul. It's up to you. You can save money, you can save yourself, you can save Satan or you can save God. The choice is yours. See I hear you. Okay, so come with me. Let's look at some few scriptures quickly. Come with me. One of the benefits of salvation. Colossians 1, 13. Let's move on. Let's move on from Colossians 1, 13. Second Corinthians 5, 21. So one of the benefits of salvation is deliverance from the power of darkness. Number two benefit. Look at it. For he has made him to be seen for us. So another benefit of salvation is deliverance from the world. See deliverance from sin is benefit of salvation. If you don't have this understanding, you can be born again and still struggle with sin and you can be gifted and struggle with sin. When Paul said sin shall not have dominion over you, then the Bible said the law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus have set me free from the law of sin and death. So sin is a law. Life is a law. Love is a law. Faith is a law. Roman street 27. These are laws. And the word of God is the book of law. The word of God, the scriptures is a book of law and covenants. Just one eight. This book of the law shall not depart out of the map. So if you see, you realize that faith is a law. Love is law. The commandment or law I give unto you that you love one another. For by this or may know your my disciples. So love is a law. Faith is a law. Seen is a law. And then life is law. The law of the spirit of life in Christ Jesus have set me free from war. The law of sin and death. The wages of sin is death. The gift of God is eternal life. So the Bible is full of law and ordinances.
