The Prayer Series; Episode 7 | Preparing the Mind IV | Grace Pills | w/ Pastor Josh Laryea

[Music] You're about to listen to Grace Pills by Reverend Josh Lai, lead pastor at CariSentre International. Reverend Josh Lai is the preacher of the gospel of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Be blessed as you listen. [Music] I ask in the name of Jesus for a release, let a door of utterance be opened to me. I declare in the name of Jesus that great grace characterizes these words. The voice of man speaking the words of God. Let light prevail over every doubt and darkness in the name of Jesus. Clarity of expression, clarity of thought, clarity of purpose, and there is clarity of understanding. There shall be no contradictions and no errors. The word of God shall be divided precisely and accurately in the knowledge of Christ. Make Christ be revealed. Thank you that you are glorified and we are identified. Jesus name, amen. Wonderful. There's so much power released here. Thank you, Holy Ghost. Now, I think there was a mistake with one scripture. Second Kings 429 to 35. If you were studying, you would have known. There was one person that drew my attention because she was studying. If none of you were studying, so you couldn't even realize. Second Kings, it's meant to be second Kings 4, but we wrote second Kings 8. So it's only their chapter. But then the verses correct. So it's second Kings 429 to 35. Yeah. Okay. So we're still on the prayer series and this is part 5. We're still on the prayer series and I am trying as much as possible to have you understand that it is through your mindset that you pray. Yeah. Your set mind is where you live from. And until you have the right set mind, you will not be able to avail yourself for all the beautiful things that Christ has already given to you through his dead barrier and resurrection. Praise God. And you will not be functioning in your optimum place of authority where you dwell as I speak to you. All right. So you dwell in Christ and in Christ, you have your authority. But then you will not be able to function well if your mindset is wrong. And since we have the opportunity to ask through prayer, you will be asking from your knowledge base that your mind has been fixed for. So most of us actually pray from our culture. How our parents taught us. How school has taught us. If you are a believer and you still are praying and you are asking for a confession, a confessing your sins, where did you learn it from? It's your culture. Because you do something and your dad says, it's confess. Oh, you go to the law course and they say do what? Confess. Okay. And they are famed with a Sunday school. How come they tell you, okay, hey, you. Quadro, if I send you and you don't go, you're not going to heaven. How many of you were told that? Lift up your hands well. That's why when you are praying, you pray the way you pray. But because I didn't go and please, please, I pray that I was too good to heaven. You pray from your culture. I'm going to pray from scripture. And the devil uses that to condemn you. And to make he grounds you with that because it's like concrete cussed on your mind. Are you here with me? So what I started last three weeks or no last two weeks, sorry, was that I just wanted to know in your mind said that there are three forces that no one can contend with. And I started that number one, God Almighty is the first force is Almighty. He's Almighty. He revealed that sovereignty in redeeming you. He did not break any protocol regarding what he has instructed with men. Men still have the earth and men still possess the earth. So God came, had entry into the world without taking anything that he has given man. Man's authority was still there. But God who worked his way. In the same way, you may have a situation that everybody thinks this is the end of you. But the way God worked redemption without breaking the protocols of men because he's I am. If you pray and you understand who you are in him, you will function. As a miracle breaking everything that was said to stop him. I hear you. Yes, the protocols of men still remain the same, but you'll be on top. Oh, praise God. That's how heaven came into you. And yet Satan could not realize it. That's why they said that if they knew that by crucifying their Christ, the glory of God will be revealed. They wouldn't have. But it eluded them because I am the mightiest force. But one can't stop. Praise God. The second force is the man of faith, the man who trusts in the I am. So I am is mighty. But if you can't trust I am, you can pick all that he has made you and reveal all that you are in him. By Christ. Praise God. So, so, so, so he said to them, if you believe, you can say to this mountain, move. He's not talking about magic. Why would you ask a mountain to move? It's not literal. He's talking about impossible situations that hinder the cause of what you have been brought on this earth to do. If it stands in their way, it shall move. If you can trust him, if you can do what, if you can do what, trust him. So don't act like a magician because God doesn't do that. Are you getting the point? Yes. Everywhere you see the miracle you are talking about in the Bible, it has the cause of redemption, attachment, through a form. God does not just do things by heart. His magicians will do that. God is not a magician. When the believer knows who they are in Christ and they are focused on that purpose, anytime they pray, trusting him, things happen. Nothing stops them. Mithil, maithil. All right. And so we saw examples of Jesus and His disciples. They brought this guy with epilepsy, and his guys could not. And he didn't say that, "Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You didn't have the right technique. Or you didn't do that. Or there's this ritual that you have to do. And you didn't do that." No. That was not it. He said, "Oh, fake, less generation." So what did they have? Faith. I give you an example of Gehazi and Elisha. Elisha sent Gehazi with a rod, going late on the child. That was the second Kings 4. And then what happened? Nothing happened. And then Elisha himself went. And the moment he lied on the child, the child sneezed. As much of an editing happened straight away. But the point is a man that has faith has no support. I'll talk, I'll be talking on what is unsaid prayer. I'll be speaking on that. The reason why most of the things listen very carefully. We pray for. We don't see it's because you are not exercising faith. If I tell you you don't have faith, I am using the wrong expression. Because you have faith. That's why you believed Christ. So every believer has faith. But you choose to exercise that faith. So what you are not doing is that you are not exercising what? The faith that you have. So it's not like, oh, somebody has great faith. When you see great faith in the Bible, look at all the three examples. I think they're only three. There's a Phoenician woman. True or false. They're Romans and two. So I think the last one. Is it the. The woman with the issue of blood. I think so. That's it. All of them were Gentiles. And that's why Jesus spoke about great faith. Use that expression. Because he came for the Jews. So that through the Jews, the Gentiles will receive. Now the Gentiles are receiving him and the Jews are not. And that's why that expression was used. It doesn't mean that in the body, some have great faith. Others have not. No, everybody has. Some exercise their faith greatly. Others exercise their faith. Have braggily. Are you getting a boy? Hey, are you hearing me? It's not that God gave somebody great faith. And gave another person less faith. No. The same faith we have to believe Christ is the same faith that does everything in this journey of faith. You don't need any other faith. But you are to have knowledge. And by that knowledge, you cannot exercise what. You cannot exercise what is correct. Is that very clear? Okay. So the man of faith exercises their faith. Because they understand who they are. And because they trust him. When they go into prayer, they have faith and exercise that. And then oh, that he will do it. Because he has already done it. Hey, when he said it is finished. Yes, it is. It was not a joke. It was not a flu. It is finished. The moment he rolls up and justified you and I. He says everything that is in him is now yours. So you exercise your faith to read. So you don't pray and say, it's me. You are sick. The moment you open your mouth and begin to speak. You are not asking to be healed. Is that not them? Lord, heal me. Lord, heal me. No. No. No. You must say I receive my. Because healing is already yours. Healing is already worth yours. The moment Jesus rolls up and you received salvation. You also receive what? It is the same faith. Oh, Lord, give me money. No, you have money. You call for it. I receive it. So you must have the understanding. That what is yours has already been. You've been sinning it. A man of faith. You must think you should be impossible for you. Praise God. That devil can stop you. No, there is no way a man accesses. That what the devil is stopping you from is exercising your faith. But when you exercise your faith, he can't stop. He can't. Because he knows you already have it. He condemns you to feel guilty. He condemns you to feel you don't deserve it. He condemns you to make you feel that or nothing is going to happen for you. But the moment you nod the word and you know who you are in him and you exercise that faith, you are above the ball. You break through. Praise God. Praise God. Are you sure? All right. The last of these three forces. I am a man of faith. The next. Believers united together. Genesis 11, 5 to 6. But the Lord came down to see the city and the tower. The people were building. The Lord said, if as one people speaking the same language, if they have begun to do this, then nothing they plan to do will be impossible for them. The way God is good, you have no idea. But when it comes to the free will of man, he does not interfere. That's how good God is. He has the power to do whatever. But he has restricted himself by his love and by the fact that he is perfect and just. That what he has already said is bound by it. So that when man uses his free will to do stuff, he says, I will stop. And you are functioning in oneness and togetherness and decide this is what we want to do. He says, I won't stop. And here, if you are following the Genesis series, they couldn't finish. Why? Because they are agenda. So although they were together, their agenda was individualistic. It was self. Because he said that they wanted fame. And if they wanted fame, then one who wants more for another than another. Hey, are you here with me? So you see, although they were one because the agenda was of self, it could not try. So in the end, they were, it's not God who divided them. They are agenda divided them. Because God is not the author of what? aad konfusion. Wherever you see this order is not God is man because of their individual award egos and what they individual individually want to work. Why would once say I won't support and the other say I will support is because they want to fix their ego. It must go for their course. So they come both about it. I made it happen. Anytime you see somebody not supporting a wedding course it is for this reason. Tell me what else. So you see they were together but the agenda was not together but God says so far so far as they have the principle of a united front they can do it. Nothing would be impossible. Praise God. Oh are you here with me? Yes. Did you see that they spoke the same language? Did you see that? Eventually they started speaking different languages. What that means is both literal and also it has to do with ambition. You see we all speak the same language because we are going the same place and none of us is seeking for the glory. But the moment we decide to seek for individual glory our languages will be different. Oh hello. So you see both ways because of their individualistic agenda they started speaking different language. And that's how languages came. Language did not come. Languages. Language is from God but languages came from man. So if you are a crowbow you are not a crowbow because God called you crowbow. You are crowbow because man decided that they are going to also find themselves in one place and give themselves a unique language. Do you see that they are they they're destroyed? Is it God who does it? So you must understand clearly that God had one agenda that all men will come together and when they come together they they don't come the cause of their ambitions. They come because God be glorified. Are you getting that boy? And nothing will be in. In possible. Nothing will be in. Praise God. Psalm 33 133 verse 3. Behold how good and how pleasant it is for breading to dwell together in unity. So good and pleasant. If breading dwell together in unity it is like the precious oil upon the head. Running down the beard. The beard of Aaron running down on the edge of his garments. Next. It is like a dew of heaven descending upon the mountains of Zion. For there the Lord commanded not a blessing. There blessing. What is the blessing? Life. It's 10. You see the glory once again. Praise God because that's God's intention for man from the beginning. And he says in togetherness. The glory shall fill the all men shall receive eternal life. The eternal life that Christ gave. So if you read Acts chapter 2 verse 1. You will see this scripture fulfilled from the dew of heaven. Descending to Mount Zion. On the day of Penthicus. Acts 2 1. When the day of Penthicus had fully come they were all with one accord. In one place. Hey are you hearing it? They were all with what? One accord in one place. On that day they received life what? You tell me. Where were they? They were on Mount Zion. Are you here? Where they together. So if their holy ghost came because men were together. Then it tells you that God is not the author of confusion. He only thrives in the place where people are united for his cause. And in that anything happened. Watch this. These are things that are timeless. And as you hear them make use of them. That's why a pastor who is fully anointed. Field with the holy ghost can praise for you. And yet you are not here. Why is it so? Because you are not to get that with him. So you think that it is the pastor. It is not the pastor. He carries the grace. You are receiving the grace. If the one who carries gifts and the one who must take does not receive. Grace takes what it is. And that's why Jesus in cappeno in his own hometown could not heal anybody. Because Bible said they were not to get that with him. They despised him. So you can look down on the other person and expect to receive grace. From them. And there is no way you can be going about and then you are talking about somebody. And yet you want to expect something from them. He says it can't work. It's not possible. It's not. Look at something from efficiency. Efficiency for 124. I therefore, the prisoner, the Lord, be seated you to walk with thee of the calling with which you were called. With all lowliness and gentleness with long suffering, bearing with bearing with one another in love. The only way we shall be worthy of our calling is when we can bear one another in love that before they do it I've already forgiven them. I can rebuild them but as for forgiving I've already forgiven them. Are you understanding me? Then we are listening I told somebody yesterday I said there is no way you can love you can have a lasting relationship if you don't have endurance. You don't if you don't have endurance forget about a united front. And the reason why most of you don't even have friends your friendship with people last for just three months. I've even even given you more. And every day you are the one who has been hacked because you don't hate anybody. The reason is because you don't have endurance and don't forget that endurance is the fruit of the spirit. I was in love and deos. If you have love there's no way you don't have endurance. And you can only find endurance in the weakness of others. When everybody is perfect and then you say you are showing endurance where is it for? It's because somebody will step on your toe it's because somebody will say something about you. You you think that when you go about talking ill about people it is God and you are praying dangerous prayers it is God and you think that's where God types? No. No. He is in endurance. While we were yet sinners Christ died for us. He didn't die because you became right. He died for you so that in his dead. You are made. I'm here with me. Barry look at the next verse watch this. And devouring and devouring say and devouring. So it comes with effort is action and devour and devour and devour to keep the unity of the spirit in the world of peace and devour and devour to keep and devour to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of what confusion. In the bond of peace in the bond of peace in the bond of peace in the bond of peace in the bond of peace. So I let go. I free my heart and my mind. And I keep the unity of what the spirit because the spirit that lives in me is the spirit of peace. Why everybody let's read the next go. There is one body and one spirit. Just as you were called in one hope of your calling next one Lord one faith one baptism next one God and father of all who is above all and through all and in only you. You see so that has been your problem. You think you are the only one who carries God. The person you are dealing with also carries God. God is in them as much as it's in you. He's the father of us all praise God. He is our God together. Praise God. Our body can divide us but there is one body in Christ Jesus. There is one hope in Christ Jesus. So we don't allow the body, the body, this natural body to divide us whether you are white or blue, whether you are crowbar or you are gun, whether you are everywhere or you came from the wrong or wherever you came from. We stand together and we will unite together and we lift up prayer. No power of hell shall be able to stand. We become God's mighty force. Preveiling on earth. Praise God. Look at first Corinthians 11. 18. God want to support all of them. For 34 when you come together as a church. So is he talking to a church? Okay. I hear that there are divisions among you and impact. I believe it. Next. But of course, watch this. There must be divisions among you that you have God's approval. You who have God's approval will be recognized. Wait. So he says, when there are divisions among you, watch this. The divisions must be that you are united for what God approves. Can you get the distinction? So our unity must be in stuff that God approves. So that it doesn't happen like Genesis 11. Because in that there will be these divisions to destruction. So sometimes watch this. There can be divisions because everybody is doing once they're writing to be done. Another person wants the wrong thing to be done. And they are angry. He says, when they decide to divide themselves in that way, don't worry about it. Do you understand it now? Yes. It's very clear to you. So he's not endorsing divisions. No. Because he wouldn't have said that I hear the divisions. In other words, if we are going this way with God, all of us must go this way with him. The one who says, I'm not going to go. He says, you can let him be. That is the only place where there can be what. So that your division then are for the right word. Are you clear here? Okay. Look at what he says in 29 and 30. Let's all go. For he who eats and drinks in an unwedded manner eats and drinks Jagman to himself. Not designing. Not designing. For this reason, many are weak and sick among you and many what's or praise God. So what is he saying here? This is about communion. Don't worry. I'll speak to it in this prayer series. What he says is that the reason why we do this communion and it's not something that we should be doing as a ritual. That most of you think that if you don't eat communion, God will stop living in you. That's nothing. He says, watch this. If you are going to feast together, you must feast, diselening the lost body. Efficiency for two days. There is one body, one spirit. So you must see yourself. a part of the Lord's body. First Corinthians 12 tells us that some is the eye, some is the hand. So you must see yourself fitting in there. So you are something to somebody and somebody something to you and all of us have one spirit waking in us. So we are not divided because of our body. We are together by the function of the Holy Ghost in us and by us being in Christ we fix into the body of Christ. Hello and he says that if we are feasting together, we must feast together with this understanding that we are one. We are a united for so the blood of Jesus and in His redemption there's no reach, there is no poor, there's no Greek, there's no Jew, there's no master, there's no slave. So don't eat the bread and eat it with a certain mentality looking down on the next blessing. Share with them what you have and see them they ask as be in the same class you belong to. The classes of this world don't divide us because everybody in the body is in the God class. Because you are not together and you are not helping one another and you are not standing together. You bring judgment onto yourselves and for this reason many are weak. Many are sick. Many die. Free my children. Because what they can't afford you leave them to die. You don't care. Many are weak. They are sick. They can't afford. It being a common thing to do, I mean to that to go to their hospital or to and you leave them forget about them. You eat and in your eating you spite them. You tease them with the whole story you get it. So what we do is rather we bring social classes to church and church divides us more than it brings us together. We don't stand for one another. We don't cover one another. We expose and give away one another. You make yourself a damping ground of people's gossip. So they dump all their gossip because you don't have anything good to think about. So every time you are the one they come to dump and you think that you are rather a good person. As for me they can't tell me you passed that. When they tell you what do you tell them? That's what this is. That's what this brother. Hey, since you're in Egypt be careful. Instead of telling them go and sort it out with sister. Feel free when you talk about we are sisters and brothers or you want me to help so that we all stand together and make sure this thing is dealt with. Simple. That's the way to do it. Let's rather pray for sister or brother. So you know what? Let's organize three days for us prayer. Let's stand in our system so that this thing is broken. We tear them into pieces. And then when you see them passing by you give the sister an eye. Hey, bye. It's not a fight. Even sometimes when people are doing so much for the Lord, it rather becomes the topic for discussion. Hey, and we kill them and kill the experience. Judge B. You are you are you are functioning in the wrong place. As part of that snow where you belong. You are out of place. You are out of order. Head back to your dwelling. What is easy? Many are weak. They are weak. They can contain their spirit anymore. They are broken by the kinds of things we say about them. How we even look at them. They are broken. They are weak. They are sick. When you come to church and you want to hear about yourself, forget it. Because you have a lot of yourself already in the world. We came here to take away ourselves so that Christ will rule. Because mortality is sickness. Humanity is sickness is disease. So in Christ we find help and fulfilment. Listen to me. When you see people in Christ, let the Christ in you. Love them with all your heart. Don't despise them. No. No. Praise God. Look at Matthew 18, 18. Everybody lift up your head. Look at it. Let's already go. I tell you the truth. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidding in heaven. And whatever you permit on earth will be it comes by two. Gatherness. Praise God. Look at the 19 and 20. Go. I also tell you this. If if if if what if two of you agree here on earth, if two of you, if two of you, if two of you, if if two of you, concerning anything, you ask my father in heaven will do it for you. 20 for where two or three, gather together as my followers. Almighty, I am. Is there? Do you get it now? So you see that three are together. You see that three together? I am. With the individual man of faith. With another man of faith, which makes a united for nothing shall be impossible. Nothing shall be impossible. Listen to me. When you ask or something is happening to you, that is beyond you and it's overwhelming you. You don't wait for pasta to come. Oh, the people that Jesus here, they came to Jesus. Two of them. They run to him because they believe. Hey, so faith makes you go. So you see? All the people that I have seen extra ordinary miracles happen. They were the ones that came. I in my ministry for this 20 25 years, all the people that I have seen with my eyes prayed for with extra odd day came and each time they came they came running that let's past that this is the situation. I know if you pray with me it will happen and you pray any happen. Why? Because they have already by faith contacted God's grace. Is it very clear? For where two or three got that together. Ask my followers. I am there. Now those I am one with them. United from believe, resting. Look at us 243 45 then she came upon every soul and many one death and signs were done through the apostles. Watch this 44 let's already go. Is that why thought was happening was happening now all who were believed? Where what? Where what? Together and had all things what? So there were many signs and one death and see a camera upon all souls because the believers were what? Together. Did you see what followed 45 and showed their possessions and goods and divided them among all as anyone had made this is God's system. This is God's system. This is it. And because his God's system do you know how this was done? The person who was actually giving doesn't even know who is receiving it. It's not that one. I can see you need some dresses and I look at you. Oh no this is not good for you. Come come come. I have to fix this. And the day they give you from that day they manipulate everything of yours. The control what you eat what you don't have how you walk how you don't have to walk how you talk how you don't have to talk. They laid it at their post and the apostles did that is they don't even care because they are only receivers from God. So that they would distribute. They don't see what you see in today's charismatic. I give to get. Where did you get it from? To give. So in Christianity we don't give to get. We receive to give. The kinds of things we have made. So you say you give God first. And then when you give God by you're giving to God you overwhelming God is surprised. So then God will now give to you. The day you stop giving then God says. Me to I stop. He gives to you. And as he gives and you receive you also what? That's why I think in our 70 that is a blessing to give more than to receive the word blessing there is privilege. So I am privileged to give to others more than what to receive. Why? Because I have been saved to receive from God. So I can share with others. Why? Because I feel they are paying. I don't even want them to know I did it. Because I only receive to give. I am not the giver. That's why I am privileged. It's simple. Listen, when people stand together with the understanding that there's one word, one spirit, one hope, one God and one baptism, they don't see individual differences. I am flows. Diseases are here. Needs are met. The power of the church is revealed to all men. I pray that from today we will exercise this power of a united form. No matter what happens, let's stand together. And when we stand together, when I pray you connect, when you pray I connect, our spirits are open to one. Praise God. Give a clap of it to Jesus. At the cross you called it thin.
