Leadings and Burdens, Your Leadings are a Compass by Pastor Dolapo Lawal

The transcription begins with a prophetic declaration establishing 2026 as a year of divine establishment for the church community. Practical announcements follow, including details for an upcoming week of fasting, communal meals, and prayer meetings. The central teaching delves into the concept of spiritual "burdens," defined as holy weights God places on an individual's heart. These burdens, distinct from daily responsibilities, create a holy restlessness meant to correct direction or herald a new season. The speaker emphasizes that such burdens are not to be borne alone but are an invitation to seek God humbly. Using examples like Nehemiah and the Apostle Paul, the message illustrates that burdens are a form of divine communication and often precede significant assignments or breakthroughs. The talk warns against misinterpreting spiritual dryness and encourages reliance on scripture and community rather than relying solely on feelings or personal effort during challenging seasons.

[music] 2026 is our year of establishment. Remember your speaking name, 2026 is our year of establishment. God is causing all Greece to a bound towards us as a church family. We experience the mercy of God like never seen before. All our brothers and sisters in Christ that has been ordained to be in this church family are coming to be established in Christ this year. We are established in our families, ministries, businesses, jobs, and in all that concerns us in Jesus' name. Somebody say, "Big Amen." Say, "Big Amen!" Glory! Hallelujah! Amen, please have your seat. Amen. Two quick announcements before we go on. Good news. You guys ready? Good news. Ready? Next week we are fasting. I mean people say it's coming. We are fasting. You guys are actually joining me. So, we're going to be breaking by 6 pm. And we've been, you know, sharing about the anti-occurable model of ministry and all that. What we are basically studying is the early church. So we are going to practice early church living. So we'll be breaking our fast together by 6 pm. That's where you clap. That's time for it's clap. So we'll be here. We'll break. Maybe we can do that. What did that? What did the something for you shall cause that thing? What's that thing called? Pot lock. So we can, yes, we can do that. Yes. Just for Monday to Friday. So 6 pm. But as a church, too, they'll be provision of just bring something sure. Don't come empty-handed. Amen. Monday to Friday, yes. You know, we're meeting Monday to Friday next week as well. Why not? You know, this is Monday to Friday. Just week this. And then we are ending the week of 20th. So anytime 20th ends is where we recall it's a close. So next week, we're meeting 7 pm next week. Yes. Well, we're going to start the meeting proper by 7 pm. We're just from 6 pm. We might, we'll just fellowship together, eat together, maybe play games and stuff. Get to know somebody. Stuff like that. Does that make any sense? Yes. And then by 7 pm, yeah, we start praying. So we'll play and pray. If we pray and pray, we'll forget the prayer. So let's play and then I'm praying. Amen. We've been talking about the anti-ocmodel. I'm going to extend those today. Is that OK? OK. You be putting the answer. Yeah, already. So I want to share something as I was as I was praying and just, you know, going through the notes. It just came to my heart. Where did we stop? Number 16. Oh, wow. OK. Why do I have-- that means I went to go and add some stuff. But yes, I think the point I was trying to make, where, you know, the Holy Spirit just quickened down. I think you should share about this. Is, you know, when we're talking in number 14, we said it had just the other way. It had spiritual discernment. The church had spiritual discernment. It could recognize and respond to prophetic warnings, such as agabos, prophecy of famine in Acts 11. You know, we read Acts 11 and we read Acts 13 and then we read Acts 15. Can you guys remember? So yes, we just want to talk about that responding. How can we respond to, you know, prophetic insight? Or can we respond to promptions? Let's pray. Father, the name of Jesus, Lord tonight, we ask that as we share your word, let it be spirit and life in the name of Jesus, in Jesus' mighty name. Please, please, that background thing. So we're, we can be praying on that bread if we want to. I want to share on leading and burdens, leading and burdens, more like showing us how to, but eventually, you are having and, you know, this restlessness on rest one, because that was what came to my turn on, but two, it looks like you are, you are in a dry season. Maybe before now, you were, in a season where you were seeing a lot of visions and counters and stuff like that, and it looks like it is drying up. More like your water broke is drying and you would die of anger if you don't hear to go to Zarafat. And a lot of people, they get trapped in, and I think I'll start some yesterday, get trapped in, not knowing the difference between the supernatural and what is fascinating. And if your walk with God is not by scripture, and that's why you see, I think the association is, they don't believe in, you know, feeling, you know, if you, I mean, people know John Piper. Okay, John Piper is more on the, you know, staring you towards enjoying God, quote, and on quotes, you know, so anyways. And I've seen people like that, that's, you know, they say, you know, I've never had any feeling, praise worship, well, you are crying, your eyes out. Nothing, they don't feel anything, and they are Christians, and don't they say they are not saved? They are Christians, you know, they are convicted of sin, they are convicted of judgment and righteousness, but that feeling is not just there, and there is the old denomination, like that, all these things are just, you know, charismatic, you know, exuberance, but you know, there is something I've noticed, and you can go and check this. That's particular denomination, they don't backslide. The most people that backslide in the body of Christ, that become, quote, quote, quote, what you call "It is a vertical thousand charismatic, because we feel too much." There are some people when they start talking, you can hear from them, that they don't have a problem with God's capacity to do. They have a problem with the fact that God didn't do for them. So it's not like it doesn't have power, they believe that he has power. They are "It is good and uncouth" because they have something personal with God. They have a personal grievance with God. If he really is God, why didn't he come true for my mother? So it's not doctrinal, it's a personal issue. I've seen that time and time again, and I'm like, "You sound like a believer that doesn't like that they believe. You sound offended." It's like John the Baptist, and saying, "If you are the Messiah, what's going on?" So, for adventure, it's season like that. You know where you just have this heavy weight. Well, the first thing I want to say, like I was saying, is you want to make sure that you are understanding God and relating with Him based on His Word. If God was a feeling, there would be no reason for faith. Please listen. What I want to share is, God put in my, I think, is prophetic. So stay there. If you see it in Scripture, be diligent with what you see in Scripture. And do as Scripture has said. There is faith and there is faithfulness. Two of them are manifestations of faith. If you read Hebrews 11, that's what you see. Some received, we may receive their dead back to life. Some were faithful, not accepting escap, but accepted that for better resurrection. So there is faith and there is faithfulness. And what God sees as miracle is Him moving. It's not something fascinating. I'll give you an example. Elijah was fed by Reavans. But he went to God at one point. He said he wants to die. Even though he was running from Jisebe. So he said, God, kill me. I want to die. I'm the only prophet remaining. God said, that's not true. I have 7,000 prophets that have no bow. They have no bow to bow to Bill. And that was the first time he was hearing that he felt like he was alone, but he was not alone. Now, we know that God was miraculously providing for Elijah. But the Bible doesn't record how God was miraculously providing for the 7,000, but we can deduce. You remember when Aeab sent a captain to go and meet Elijah and tell him to come. And Elijah called down fire and killed the first batch. He sent the second person, called down fire. Then the third guy or bad guy asked, he got there. He said, my father, my father, we too. We too. I knew you're a fire vendor. See, they have rose to hell now. Please, I beg you. I'm not like them. I don't know you number one. But number two, please, if there's anything you can consider, consider the fact that when J. Z. Bell wanted to kill prophets, I eat prophets and I was presenting water and bread before them every day. So Raven was bringing food for Elijah. God was using a bad guy to bring food for the 7,000. Do you understand what I'm saying? Elijah's own is dramatic. But it doesn't negate their own provisional. And a lot of people, they are work with God, this comparison. And people lie. In just three or four years, wait, my room won't be. They might be lying. Are you getting what I'm saying? Let your work with God. Just the fact that you are dealing with a God that you cannot see. And there is a witness in your heart that is alive. It's supernaturally enough. And I'm saying that because I want to share about how to work around body. So maybe you're in that season, you know, everything is just dry. Your water is dry. Everything is dry. Your work with God is dry. And you find yourself doing things that you are not trying to do. You are not interested, but you just find yourself doing crazy naughty things. You know, you are in that season there. I want to share and see how we can help. Look at Galician 6.2. All this spirit helps us. Are you here? Are you getting blessed already? I hope so. Galician 6.2. I shared this on weeks and weeks. It says, "Be a one and not as burdens and so fulfill the love Christ." Galician 6.5. It says, "For each one shall be a zone burden." The one in two is barost. It means heavy of a well-mean width. Something too much for one person to carry. And the one in five is for sure, and which means your personal responsibility or assigned duty. So what God places on people? So one is width. Another one is basically like load. So there are two different things. One is barost. The other one is for sure. So it says, "Be a one and not as burden." The next one says, "For each one shall be a zone burden." So far so good, are you still with me? Now, the first one, which is the barost, is heaviness, is a width. It's something that has been placed on you that is too much for you to carry. Number five is your responsibility. It's normal. Every blessing of God comes with a burden. For example, if you get, for you to get the blessing of a paycheck, the body needs a job. For you to get the blessing of a child, the body is attention and provision. For you to get a body of a calling, the body is prayer. You do every blessing just has to come with body. And that's number five. And if you are not, what delights blessing is because people have not grown in capacity for the body that is attached to their blessing. The children of Israel could not enter into the Promised Land. The Bible says, "Because they were fainting at when they see war." So the blessing and the body that is attached to the blessing, when God saw the body, and he says, they like this thing, but they cannot be a distance. They can carry this thing. Remember, I said, "I have so many things to tell you, but you cannot be a them now." So God doesn't give us what we cannot be a. It's pertaining to our capacity, pertaining to our portion. Are you still here? So the body we are talking about is not number five. It's not your personal responsibility. The body of your family, you that you want to marry, that's your loot. So you will carry your loot. You get what I'm saying. I'm talking about that heavy of our women's weights, something that is too much for you, that God himself places on you that you need help with. And how do you define that kind of body? Please stay here. A burden-- and I'm describing this in a practical biblical way-- a burden is a holy weight. God places on your heart. A burden is a holy weight. God places on your heart that refuses to let you rest until you have obeyed his will. Am I already preaching to some people that God places in your heart that has refused to let you rest until you obey his will? Look at Psalm 32, verse 3. Psalm 32, verse 3. Let's really consider. Want to go? When I kept silent, my bones grew old, true, my groaning all day long. Yes. For day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. That's that thing there. That's the body. God is the one placing His hand upon you. Look at it. First Peter 5 or 6. Day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. So this hand coming upon you is the hand of God. This body is God. It says, therefore, home by yourself under the mighty hand of God. If you are under the mighty hand, where is the hand upon you? So the mighty hand of God comes upon people. It says that He may exalt you in due time. In other words, the hand is coming to take vitality from you. You would have sinned in 32 to prepare you for the blessing. It says, home by yourself under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time. So that hand comes because the exhortation is near. Look at verse 7. And this is how you will know that this thing is the hand of God upon me. It says, casting all your keys upon Him for His keys for you. So when you are in this season of your life, and I've said this before, you will have so much keys. And God's expected response is humility, not murmuring. When the hand of God is upon you like this, you are not supposed to do more. That's where people destroy and kill themselves. You are already carrying something that is too heavy for you. What God is trying to do is trying to invite you to come and receive. When people are not feeling God, what they not want to do is they want to walk harder. That's the walks my sets. Show that some 32 again. Show me, be sure there's six. There is something you are supposed to do in that season. And we're going to get to the more practical side. Because I want to give a key study with Paul. He says, for this cause, everyone who is godly, shall pray to you in a time when you may be found. So when that hand is upon you, God is telling you, come to me. Come and seek me. There is a reward. Remember, he said, what are those who didn't ask the same thing? In a time where you may be found, surely in a flood of great waters, they shall not come near him. Next verse. You are my high dim place. Are you seeing this? You see, there are some things that people do. They come back and they are surprised that they made a mess. And I'm like, did you think through what you were saying? I'm struggling in my work with God. I'm not enjoying prayer. So I'm going on the personal retreat. Is that not counter? Can't you get it? If you are struggling in your work with God and you are going on the personal retreat, who will point to who? You are burnt out. And just listen to yourself. That's not time for personal retreats. You need to be poured into. You need corporate retreats. You do when you need people. You knock on yourself and go and block yourself in one room. I wonder why God is sure. You shall preserve me from trouble. You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. So one of the prescription they are singing, is what your experiencing is, barrenness. You have time. That's it. Look at what will happen. I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go. So that hand came upon you because you are going in the wrong direction. So the body is an invitation for correction. It's for teaching. I will guide you with my eyes. In other words, that body came because you were looking away. And he's trying to draw you back. So once I have that body in there, you know, this holy width that is upon my heart that has refused to go, I have to understand that God is up to something. There is a new season that is about to break in my life. And these burdens, I will show the text. You see that name. I had the body. He had the body for the broken walls of Jerusalem. Moses had the body to deliver Israel from Egypt. Esther had the body to intervene for our people. Hannah had the body for a child and for Israel's future. And you see Daniel had the body to pray for Israel's restoration. Now all these people have mentioned the five of them. They have something in common. They had the body to do something, but God didn't tell them to do it. So a body in itself is God's communication. Don't say God is no speaking. If you have a body, body is part of God's vocabulary. So when Nehemiah had the walls of Jerusalem was falling and he had that gleness in his soul, that's where it kept. God didn't say God and build it. But the body came upon him. That was an invitation to do. All that said it. And if there was anybody that should be concerned, it should have been Nehemiah because he had a good job. Is there anybody that should not be concerned about the restoration of Jerusalem? He should have been Daniel. He was prime minister. He had the best job in the land. But he was like this chain is not enough. Why should Moses want deliverance for Israel? Why in the world? He was a prince. That deal was a ligness in his soul. This can be more than this. He preferred the biobuses he preferred to be in the wilderness. But it should be eating the deity, meeting the palace. It was a body. So most of these people, it was an impression, not a word. But it can come as a word also. Look at Act 9-15. Because I'm going to my message. Act 9-15. We have enough premise. Act 9-15. But the Lord said unto him, go die way. For is it this is to an ass talking to Paul. For is it chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the Gentiles? Look at what God said Paul would do. To bear my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel. Can we read that together? I want to go before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel, verse 16, "For I will show him how great things he more so far for my name's sick." Look at what the first thing Paul gave his life to Christ. God said, "You represent me in front of the Gentiles, kings and the Jews." And I will also show you, you are going to so far in a lot of things. That was the job description he had from the beginning. Now if you read the Bible and this was what brought me to share this, look at Galician chapter 2 verse 5, "So he can make sense." Can you imagine the most important things are inputs. Thank God I have it in my ear. See God, I beg. Let me be sure. Saying that it worked in Peter also worked in me. Okay. This is what Jesus did. He said, "You are not a Jew, you are not a Jew." Yes, verse 6. So what I was talking about the leaders in Jerusalem, they had a friend there, them. They said they didn't teach many thing, verse 7. But on the contrary, when they saw the gospel of the own circumcised, that's towards the Gentiles, had been committed to me as the gospel for the circumcised was to Peter. Yes, verse 8. Jesus worked effectively in me towards the Gentiles, verse 9. And when James, Severs and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace. So Paul said they perceived the grace. You know the grace is talking about he is empowerment. The context of that grace is to the Gentiles. Now look at what happened every time he went to the Jews. Are you here? I want to show something. See what happened. The grace was what to the own circumcised. See what happened to him every time he went to the Jews. Acts 13, verse 45. I'm going to rush. Actually yes, I said 45. Acts 13, verse 45. But when the Jews saw the multitude, they were filled with envy and contradicting and blaspheming. They opposed the things spoken by Paul. Acts 9, verse 29. Acts 9, verse 29. And he spoke boldly in the name of the Lord Jesus and disputed against the Hellenists. The Hellenists are Jews that were in the Greek Roman Empire. Remember? But they attempted to kill him. Who were they trying to kill? The Jews stayed up the devotee and prominent women and the chief men of the city raised up persecution against Paul and Banabas and expelled them from the region. Acts 14, verse 2. I'm going to take the stress. But the unbelieving Jews stayed up the Gentiles and poisoned their mind against the Virgin. And when a violent attempt was made by both the Gentiles and Jews with their rulers to abuse and stoned them. Acts 17, verse 5. Acts 17, verse 5. But the Jews who were not persuaded, becoming envious, took some of the evil men from the marketplace and Gajini mob, set all the city in opera and attacked the House of Jesus and sought to bring them out to the people. Acts 17, verse 13. But when the Jews from the Serenica learned the word of God, learned that the word of God was preached by Paul at Burya, they came there also and stayed up the crowd. Acts 18, verse 6. But when they were pushed him and blasphemed, he shook his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your head. I am clean. From now I will go to the Gentiles." Look at Romans 9, verse 1. So every time Paul went to the Gentiles, I'm pleased. So you get, I'm all this, I'm trying to push one point. Every time Paul went to the Jews, he always experienced failure. If everybody was here, Gentiles and Jews, the Gentiles were except what he's saying and the Jews rejected. Now, if you are reading Galatians, you will say the reason why they are accepting it is because the grace of God that was given unto him was for the Gentiles. I mean, that's what you read. But remember the scope of his operation was in Acts 9. It's supposed to be Gentiles, kings and Jews. And I'm saying this, you see, you just read now, it will preach to the Jews. They will not receive it. That's one point the guy is frustrated. He said, "From now your blood is on your head and clean. I'm not preaching to you again. I'll go to the Gentiles before you know he has gone back to the Jews." The reason is because there was a body. Let's read, you see where I'm going. Tell the truth, I tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying. My conscience also be in me witness in the Holy Spirit, verse 2, that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart. Look at the mystery, because somebody can preach and say the reason why Paul was entering trouble in his life was because he left the position. Instead of him to focus on what is working. Listen, something can be working on no God. Don't miss it. Jesus came onto his own and his own received him not. In fact, the times that you experienced where people were receiving the midst of the Gentiles and he said, "I did not come but for the Lordship of Israel." So if you want to check Jesus based on the functionality of His calling, where He was getting results, where people out of His scoop, His own scoop, which is the Lordship of Israel, they were not coming to Him. I am trying to tell you that your body needs a compass. What I am saying is that you can be doing something, you have a good job, everything is working right. You don't understand why this evidence is in your heart. It is because that is not the place. It can walk and not be the walk. I don't know. You can't say more that. Did you understand what I am saying? The cash is flowing. But that thing is there is a line of things. It says, "For I could wish that I myself was a curse from Christ for my brethren, my countrymen according to the flesh." That means this thing is saving my heart. And if you are somebody that is in the flesh and you see Paul, you tell him, "Listen, I don't think God called you to the Jews. He called Peter." Why is it that every time you preach to the Jews, they don't accept you. Because they Jews that killed him. Why not focus on your area of strength? Don't do it. Focus on your body. Don't focus on your area of strength. It's not what you can do. Because you can't do it well. Does it mean you are not called to do it? Listen to me. Because it's working. It doesn't mean that's what God wants for you. That thing that is in your heart that is in the body. That lineness that you are feeling you. So that's the compass. God is directing you because that body is drawing. Acts 21, verse 10. I want to show you something. Because when you understand that when God places a body in my heart, this body is for the reason because that's what we are going to be praying. We are going to be praying. We are going to be asking God for wisdom for the body and He has placed in us. When you start, if you don't understand that the body is an invitation from heaven, the truth of the matter is this, everything pertaining to your journey, you have it the wrong way. I'll show you what I'm saying. Just imagine Paul interpreted that, and if you ask some people, what's your purpose in life? They will tell you anything I do effortlessly. That's not. Whatever you enjoy doing, if it comes natural to you, that's the area that is not true. Your purpose is your area of body. What everybody thinks is normal and you think something is wrong. That is the purpose. Are you here? So if you don't get this right, you are going to be missing that pretty ghost leading. You will miss God. You will miss God finish. Look at it. You want to go. And as we said many days, a certain prophet named Agabos came down from Judea. See, Agab is pretty. I want to say pretty. When he had come to us, it took Paul's belt, bound his own hands and feet and said, "Daw says the Holy Spirit, so shall the Jews." You know, if you are listening, for example, you are look and you have been seeing what has been happening to Paul. And Agabos, that prophet, that prophet, that said, they will be famine and the family came to pass. And now, Ty, do you understand? Just imagine, very dramatic health Paul started tying him and said, "So shall the Jews." Look, we say, "This guy and Jews." Leave them alone. They don't like you. Do you understand? Look at it. I hope you know that the church in Antioch, Paul and Banabas, by the time they left, Bible tradition says, "Aposujon also went there." You know, it was the last to die. That aban 19,908. When Aposujon died, it now left another man called Ignatos. That was the bishop. At the time Ignatos was the bishop of the church in Antioch. They were over 200,000. Some theology say 500,000. So when Paul and Banabas was pastoring the church in Antioch, they were not in less than 40,000. That is a successful ministry. And then you now go to Jerusalem, you can't get that crowd. Every time you go to this Gentiles, it just comes easy. You are walking, it didn't do what miracle in Jerusalem. But among the Gentiles, someone does. It's like you get to them. They will be arguing with you. You will be angry. You will be stammering. The Otras is not flowing, but that's your assignments. Let's read. So shall the Jews. Let's read in concert. One, two, go. So shall the Jews, are Jerusalem, bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of next verse. Now when we add these things, both we and those from the police, plea dead with who? We call not to go to Jerusalem. Please don't go there. 13. Then Paul answered, what do you mean by whipping and breaking my heart? For I'm ready not only to be bound, but also to die a Jerusalem for the name. So that prophecy because of the burden interpreted as preparation, not protection. If you are a fool, you would think God gave you that warning. So you stay with from Jerusalem. If you interpret the body correctly, you would say, God give me to prepare my mind. And if you don't go to Jerusalem, you will not go to the king. Because the only way to get to Caesar is that the Jews have to package you and give you to Felix. Felix then gives you to Caesar. And if you don't meet Caesar, constant time in 200, 200 AD, we'll not be able to interpret the vision of Jesus that legalized Christianity. If he missed that body, he has killed Christianity. You and I will have nothing. So our entire Christian faith was on the premise of body, body. It was when it was now going. So he got to Jerusalem, when he got to Jerusalem, of course, what the prophet prophesied up into him. You can't be in the prison. I said, ah, and they told me you, I shouldn't have come before the guy started doubting. Jesus appeared to him. Let me show you. Where you are interpreting, he will not appear. After you have interpreted, it's when he will come and confirm. I'm trying to say, if Noah is building the act, he will not mark it. It's where you are finished. He will now test it out by the flood. So you will not put the first thing you say, good job. You will know if you built the correct act when the flood's come. If you build wrongly, it is when the test and try as come. You will know that I didn't build well. You will build. You will think you have built something. When he passed the interpretation tests, I'm praying for you. You will not miss interpretation body. Act 23, verse 11. So that's what we are going to pray. What are the things? Some of us will quench that body. Act 23, verse 11, we will quench it. We will use Netflix. We will use Gistin. We will go. You know, when people are, they are hustling to kill the move of God in their heart because it's no pleasant. They don't like it. They want to look for how to flow that place with noise. And then they miss that move. You have to wait another move. That's how they spent 40 years and died in the wilderness. There are some people. Honestly, you are not expressing delay. You are stubborn. It's no devils to you. It's no devils. Even devils, he's just step back. He has seen it. You are enough to destroy. It's called being self-destructive. It's Tobun Head. There was no one police in the entire story of the children of Israel where the Bible says I and God said what devil is doing to my people? Is there hearts? There are many things we say devil devil is saying God is lying. I know I lie, but this is a lie too. Is this you? Is you? Look at it. I'm talking to someone. I'm speaking to you prophetically. It's like you are in a cycle. This heaviness you feel it will go after a form of a civil combat. Why is it that is when you separate from some people? This thing will come. You will now feel like it's loneliness. Then you will attach yourself to the wrong people again and do that cycle. Can't you see? When people think when that body comes like that they think they need more money. They start calling different people. How can I get more income? You ease. Liness. God is trying to remove the devil is helping you to think you need to add. The following night the Lord stood by him. Jesus Paul said, "Be of good shape for us who have testified for me in Jerusalem. If he didn't testify in Jerusalem he can testify in Rome." And the success of his ministry is you must end up in Rome. So that's body. You see, I'm trying to see that because something comes easy to you. Does it mean you are empowered for it? You see, that thing that looks like a tone in your flesh, it might be day. Because if God will call you to fish for men there must be an opportunity for him to make you a fisharovman. There must be a making. And that making is no pleasant. That making is no pleasant. Some of us don't know ourselves until the body incomes. Let me bring you attention to something. Maybe you didn't notice. The children of Israel were called out of Egypt. And God said, "This project is a 40 days project. Let's get on it." I said, "Okay. Let's go." 10 days, 20 days, the study responded and he said, "They are not ready." You know what God did to these people? They started moving around Sinai. They were moving but were not progressing and they were moving around. So they caught us there. We've been here now. What's going on? What's this man doing to us? Something is wrong. Listen, listen, so you follow. I'm trying to help you get something. Something is wrong. Why are we moving? It's like Moses come. What's going on? Is he playing with us? Moses said, "It's because of the hardness of your heart." He was stiff-knit people. That's why he said, "Okay. If that's the case, go and tell God that he should give us love. Let us know what he wants from us." Follow me. Follow me so you don't miss this. Let him tell us what we would do. So that we can leave this place. So as Moses is going, he goes together and says, "God, they say they want to know what you. You want them to do." God says, "Perfect. Come. How many days did Moses spend up?" They had another 40 days test. Do you get what I'm saying? The exact 40 days they were supposed to spend in that journey. They move around, move around, move around. Then God now told Moses to come to the mountain and spend 40 days. In that 40 days they built God in calf. God said, "You see what I'm saying?" So he gave them 40 days test twice. That's how people miss body. If you don't get this thing, you would think God is on faith. You keep going. Is that the empty? Is that the empty? Just get the class. Do it like Jesus. How many days did he spend in the wilderness? 40 days. He did his own test. And the exact same test that the children of Israel faced in their wilderness was what Jesus faced. About to me, I'll give you the glories of this world. Don't stone to bread. What's where they bread? Give us meat. Okay, to show you that it is the exact test. Show Matthew 4. Matthew 4. She's preaching with me. Show Matthew 4. Matthew 4. I hope you are seeing what I'm saying. So you don't miss this thing. You can't live a plane today. Does it? You have a royal self like that. And just don't mock you. Look at it. And the answer that said, devil said, "Don't stone to bread." He said, "It is written. Man shall not live by bread and loon, but by every word that preceded out of the mouth of God." Show, do you know me? It's verse 1. The same test. Everybody has their 40 days test. And if you have not entered promise, it's because you failed, sir. Simple. You failed. And I don't want you to fail. So people, these are six times. And go in and possess the land which I swore to your father. Yes? So, you have to go in and possess the land which I am saying. So Jesus said, "The answer is, man shall not live by bread." This 40 days I come, I will pass. If you mumble in that test, you will fail. That body is a blessing, sir. Remember I started with that. That every blessing must come with a body. The hand of God comes upon you because it wants to exalt you. But you must humble yourself under that mighty hand that it will exalt you in due time. The due time is where you pass. If you don't pass that thing, you will be experiencing what people call the Holy Delay. It's not the delay, sir. It's self-sabotage. It's time to enter the promise. You only enter God's promise by doing it God's way. Because you wrote something smart, doesn't mean it's the answer. I want you to write that because I wrote something smart. It doesn't mean it's the answer. What I said is, "He's deep now." What is in Genesis 1, verse 1? Well, I know you enter here, Psalm 23. And you bend that down. Your people is full. It's wrong. There's no the answer. When Moses goes up to the mountain, the delay is to show you that there is the Egypt inside you. You would think you are nice until there is delay. You are not your patients. If you are not waiting. And waiting is not, patience is not your stain on the queue. It's how you wait. You can be waiting and not be patients. What are they doing there now? Let them open. It's, it's patience. Follow men, outroof faith and patience have apprehended the promise. No promise without faith and patience. If you read the story of Abraham, he's the one that cuts the delay for himself. Ishmael prolonged the deeds. Then you notice that in Genesis 18, when the angel came and Sarah was laughing inside. And the angel said, "Why are you laughing?" She said, "I'm not laughing." That was the first time Sarah was hearing the promise directly. Sarah thought the promise was about Abraham. Meanwhile, she missed the point that it was not Abraham to Abraham. It was Abraham to Abraham and Sarah to Sarah. So Abraham was believing for the promise. She left him to be believing. Meanwhile, it was a womb that the promise. So the delay was because Sarah didn't partner quick with Abraham. This is where we get to ever see God's faith. So all along the delay was because Sarah actually thought the promise was all about Abraham. That's why she said, "Let's be smart." If God said it would give you a child. "Stay put, Sishmail, Sishmail." "Hey guy, I'm getting Sishmail. Promise for fused." God said, "No, you're missing the point. You need to believe me." She laughed and gave back to laughter. That's the meaning of Isaac. That's in that to enter from the moment. Look at what he brews 11-11 said. So Isaac came when Sarah believed. So it did have to be 25 years. Do you understand what we're saying here? So year in year our God is like. And they are going every day. God, but you promised us. God is like, "Yes, but where is your partnership?" By faith, Sarah also received strength to conceive seed. And all those seeds come by hearing. So when she had unbelieved, Isaac came in. So did God delay Abraham? He radiated. How many people have bodies from God? You see, for some people, I said it. It can come as a body. For some other people, it's a promise it gave you at the beginning of your walk with Him. You see, show excitedly. If you don't, some of you need to go back to your journal. I'll go and listen to what God told you at the beginning. So you understand where you're going. If you don't get that components, you will be frustrated. Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt. Show next verse. And Moses said to God, "Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh? Should you for my verse?" People are not catching it. God didn't tell him that I would take them in. God didn't say Moses, you are taking them to the Promised Land. He said, "You are bringing them out." If you don't pay attention to the tenses, you will miss it. I will say, "God is not faithful, but you are not paying attention." Moses said, "I'm using you to bring them out." The only person that can take them into the promise, he has to be a Joshua. "Yeshua." Moses means "drawn out of water, baptism." So Moses is typology of John the Baptist. Joshua is typology of Jesus. His ghost plan, if you miss the point, you will be frustrated. You pay attention to that body. And you listen, I told you that God wants to help somebody. You pay attention. See, I'm telling you now, you will be fighting for what God didn't give you. And you will be putting them for you. You will be walking at this thing, the glory has departed. He is no day. He water is mudder. You will be putting them and you will be believing, "Oh, I speak the word of God." You don't speak where I'm not. Some of us are packing into where God left. But you were here. That's a problem of Israel. It's in our God. We know in the Scripture. They are God can't do anything new. We know why there's new covenants. They can't do anything new. We know him. And God said there's new covenants. There's a new way. That's right, I'm praying. I want to, you know, I told you we were extended. I want you to pray out the body. Are you with me tonight? If you don't sound like you are with me, are you with me? Hey, there's that text. Where is that text? I think it's Ecclesiastes 11. Pasitemi, please let me look for it. Ecclesiastes 11. As soon as Zion revealed, she brought forth. Yeah, yeah, yeah. If you can pray that thing, you see, that thing will come out. That thing will come out. You will see it. Why is this thing in my heart? I have a good job. Why don't we have a job? What, what am I in this season? Why is he happening like this? I want to show you that text. No God wants to help somebody. You guys don't believe me. Do I have believers here? As soon as I ask 66 verse 8, as I ask 66 verse 8, I think what I was saying is if the clouds be full of rain, it's empty itself upon the Ecclesiastes 11. As I see 66 verse 8, we're going to look at that one too. It says who has head such a thing? Who has seen such things? Now they had to be made to bring forth in one day, or shall the nation be born at once, for as soon as Zion revealed, she brought forth a children. Let's look for that one. Empty it. The cloud full of rain. If we stock the cloud between, what are we for? Look at it. Ecclesiastes 11. If the clouds be full of rain, the empty themselves upon the Ecclesiastes, so if we stock the cloud, we will experience it ample. I want you to see that body. I want you to have it in your heart. Put it before you and pray into it. The reason why Agabos was prophesying and Paul knew the correct interpretation of that prophecy, that this thing is not to want me not to go, is to help me prepare a say good. Let me prepare my mind. The reason why Paul knew was because it told us that the efficiency is always praying. It told the church, I pray it talks more than you are. It was alignment. He knew it. Are we ready? Let's lift our voices and begin to pray.

Summary:

The transcription begins with a prophetic declaration establishing 2026 as a year of divine establishment for the church community. Practical announcements follow, including details for an upcoming week of fasting, communal meals, and prayer meetings. The central teaching delves into the concept of spiritual "burdens," defined as holy weights God places on an individual's heart.

These burdens, distinct from daily responsibilities, create a holy restlessness meant to correct direction or herald a new season. The speaker emphasizes that such burdens are not to be borne alone but are an invitation to seek God humbly. Using examples like Nehemiah and the Apostle Paul, the message illustrates that burdens are a form of divine communication and often precede significant assignments or breakthroughs.

The talk warns against misinterpreting spiritual dryness and encourages reliance on scripture and community rather than relying solely on feelings or personal effort during challenging seasons.

FAQs

2026 is the year of establishment for the church, where members are being established in Christ, their families, ministries, businesses, and all areas of life.

The church will fast from Monday to Friday, breaking the fast together at 6 pm each day with a potluck, followed by fellowship and prayer starting at 7 pm.

It refers to studying and practicing the early church model, focusing on spiritual discernment and responding to prophetic insights as seen in Acts.

Burdens are holy weights God places on the heart to prompt obedience; they are invitations for correction, teaching, and preparation for a new season, not personal responsibilities.

'Baros' is a heavy weight too much for one person to carry, requiring help, while 'phortion' is a personal responsibility or duty attached to blessings.

Focus on God's Word rather than feelings, seek humility and corporate support instead of isolation, and understand dryness may signal God's hand preparing for exaltation.
